Perhaps this language in the bill is what explains why everything beyond those famous six words is still there - in spite of 134-7.2.
The Governor appears to have been given a completely general power to suspend ANY law he deems necessary:
“ (3) [Su~pcnd]
Except as provided in section 127A-
14 suspend any law that impedes or tends to impede or be
15 detrimental to the expeditious and efficient execution
16 of, or to conflict with, emergency functions,
17 including laws that by this chapter specifically are
18 made applicable to emergency personnel; provided that
19 any suspension of law shall be no broader and last no
20 longer than the governor deems necessary for the
21 execution of emergency management functions, …”
127A- appears to only pertain to the provision of records, etc.
There doesn’t appear to be any limit or qualification to this power, whatsoever.
Perhaps this is how 134-7.2 goes bye-bye, and all that follows kicks in.
This makes sense of that entire section in question.
As a reminder this is in HB2236HD1
