CS/CS/SB 2006: Emergency Management

---

quote:

---

Emergency Management; Authorizing the Legislative Budget Commission to convene to transfer certain funds to the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund; requiring that the state comprehensive emergency management plan provide for certain public health emergency communications and include the Department of Health’s public health emergency plan; redefining the term “essentials” to include personal protective equipment used during public health emergencies; specifying requirements for the purpose and scope of emergency orders; authorizing the Governor to invalidate certain emergency orders; revising the duties of the State Health Officer during a declared public health emergency, etc.

---

quote:

---

The bill requires state agencies to take the following actions to prepare for the next public health emergency:

The Department of Health must create a state public health emergency management plan, and requires the Division of Emergency Management to incorporate that plan into the state’s comprehensive emergency management plan; and
The Division of Emergency Management must:
Maintain an inventory of state-owned personal protective equipment; and
Include provisions in its statewide emergency shelter plan to address sheltering during a pandemic that requires distancing.
The bill also provides additional transparency and legislative oversight of the executive branch’s emergency powers. The bill:

Limits emergency orders, proclamations, and rules to 60-day durations that can be renewed as long as the emergency conditions persist;
Requires the Governor, if he or she closes schools or businesses, to state specific reasons why the schools or businesses need to close and reassess the closure regularly; and
Authorizes the Legislature to pass a concurrent resolution to terminate orders and directives issued under a state of emergency, instead of just the state of emergency itself.
The bill also targets county and city emergency orders that address purported emergencies but that also infringe the rights or liberties of Floridians. To protect Floridians from these orders the bill:

Requires the governmental entity imposing an ordinance or other measure that deprives a person of a right or liberty to prove that the measure is “narrowly tailored” to address a “compelling public health or safety purpose”;
Authorizes the Governor to invalidate an order that “unnecessarily restricts individual rights or liberties”; and
Limits the duration of emergency orders to 7 days, with the option to renew the orders up to 5 times.

The bill also prohibits requirements of COVID-19-vaccination documentation to access, enter, or receive service from businesses, governmental entities, and educational institution. The bill prohibits such entities from requiring Floridians to provide proof of vaccination or post-infection recovery from COVID-19 but does not restrict the use of screening protocols.
