Provides that the renewal of the state of disaster emergency does not become effective unless it is approved by the general assembly. Provides that if the governor calls a special session for the purpose of renewing the state of disaster emergency, the: (1) governor shall notify the general assembly 10 days prior to the governor's intention to renew the state of disaster emergency; and (2) renewal shall be based on the same or substantially similar underlying set of facts as the original state of disaster emergency. Provides that the governor may not issue a new executive order to circumvent the renewal limitations in the case of a state of disaster emergency based on the same or substantially similar underlying set of facts as the original state of disaster emergency. Provides that any order, rule, or regulation limiting the operation of a business or industry shall be applied equally to all other businesses and industries. Provides, however, that the uniform treatment of all other businesses and industries does not apply to isolated events that include an act of God, such as a fire, an earthquake, a hurricane, a storm, or a similar natural disaster phenomenon. Makes conforming changes.
