This legislative bill recommends several changes regarding how emergency management is handled in Minnesota. Here's a simplified breakdown of what the bill aims to do:

1. Legislative Approval for Extended Emergencies: It suggests that if the governor declares an emergency, it can only last for five days unless the legislature approves an extension. The maximum extension the legislature can approve is 30 days.

2. New Definitions: It introduces definitions for new terms such as "Declared emergency," "Bioterrorism," and "Public health emergency," providing clear guidelines on what constitutes each type of emergency.

3. Governor’s Powers During Emergencies: The bill outlines specific powers the governor can use during emergencies, like making agreements with other states, ordering evacuations, and more. However, it strictly limits these powers to the duration of the declared emergency.

4. Legislative Oversight: It wants legislative involvement by requiring the governor’s emergency orders and rules to be approved by the legislature within five days to have the force of law.

5. Protections for Citizens' Rights: The bill emphasizes protecting citizens' rights by preventing the suspension of business licenses or violations of constitutional rights during emergencies.

6. Federal Funding and Emergency Aid: For any receipt of federal funding exceeding $1 million during an emergency, the bill requires the approval of the Legislative Audit Commission.

7. Emergency Health Services: In public health emergencies, it sets conditions under which the governor can direct emergency medical actions and exempts responders from liability when acting in good faith.

Overall, this bill seeks to modify existing emergency management statutes to increase legislative control and oversight during emergencies, clearly define terms related to emergencies, and safeguard the rights and resources of the state and its citizens during such times.
