Amends TCA Title 58, Chapter 2, Part 1.

This bill prohibits the governor from renewing or extending beyond 45 days an executive order, proclamation, or Tennessee emergency management plan (TEMP) issued pursuant to the governor's emergency management powers and that applies to more than 48 counties. However, this bill permits the general assembly to authorize the governor to renew or extend an executive order, proclamation, or TEMP declaring a state of emergency by passage of a joint resolution in a regular or extraordinary session. This bill also prohibits the governor, if a state of emergency expires and no authorization is granted to renew or extend the state of emergency, from declaring a new state of emergency for the same disaster or occurrence as the expired emergency within one year following the expiration of the state of emergency.
