WATCH/EXCLUSIVE: Bill limits governor's emergency powers

Assembly Bill 1835, introduced by Assemblymember James Gallagher, would limit a governor's state of emergency declaration to 90 days unless extended by the Legislature.
Gallagher said governors need to act during emergencies to protect life and property, but there must be checks and balances.
Gallagher criticized abuses of executive power during emergencies.
Currently, no law automatically ends a state of emergency, allowing it to last indefinitely unless the Legislature votes to end it; the bill shifts responsibility to policymakers for review.
