This bill specifies that if a county or city experiences a health emergency, including, without limitation, a statewide declaration of the existence of a health epidemic or pandemic, a countywide or citywide epidemic, or the imminent threat of an epidemic or pandemic, resulting in the need for health policies that affect the entire county or city, then the county mayor has the exclusive authority in the unincorporated areas of the county, and the highest-ranking elected official in each city has the exclusive authority in the corporate limits of the official's city, to establish and implement such policies under advisement from the county health director or county health officer, or both, as necessary. This bill will apply in Shelby County only.
