§ 63-686.2. Declarations
The Legislature declares:
1. Because of existing possibilities of natural or man-made
disasters or emergencies of unprecedented destructiveness, which may
result in the death or inability to act of a large proportion of the
membership of the Legislature; and
2. Because to conform in time of emergency or disaster to
existing legal requirements pertaining to the Legislature would be
impracticable, and would jeopardize continuity of operation of a
legally constituted Legislature; it is therefore necessary to adopt
special provisions as hereinafter set out for the effective
operation of the Legislature during natural or man-made disasters or
emergencies.
