This bill modifies the procedures and requirements for orders and rules issued by the Governor during a peacetime emergency in Minnesota. Key provisions include:

1. Consultation and Notice Requirement: If an order or rule is issued 10 or more days after the Governor’s initial peacetime emergency declaration, the Governor must:

   • Consult organizations representing affected entities, if practicable.
   • Provide at least seven days’ public notice before the order or rule takes effect, unless the Legislative Coordinating Commission approves an earlier effective date.

2. Limitations on Enforcement:

   • The Governor cannot require private individuals or businesses to enforce an order or rule without their consent.
   • Businesses may be required to post notices about the order or rule.

3. Expiration of Orders and Rules:

   • Any order or rule issued under a peacetime emergency expires after 30 days unless extended by a majority vote in both houses of the legislature.
   • If approved by both houses, the order remains in effect for the duration specified by the legislature unless the emergency ends earlier.

This bill aims to increase legislative oversight and limit executive authority during a peacetime emergency.
