Senate Bill 2 calls for three amendments to the Pennsylvania Constitution. Two of the amendments would limit the Governor's disaster emergency declaration authority. The amendments would check the Governor's power in two ways. First, disaster emergencies declared by the Governor will now be limited to 21 days unless the General Assembly approves an extension. Second, a simple majority of the House and Senate will be able to vote to end a declared disaster emergency. These changes will begin to reestablish a balance of power between the legislature and the executive branch.
