Section

Section 252.311, Florida Statutes, is amended to 111 read: 112 252.311 Legislative intent.— 113

(1) The Legislature finds and declares that the state is 114 vulnerable to a wide range of emergencies, including natural, 115 technological, and manmade disasters, all of which threaten the 116

Florida Senate - 2021 SB 2006 20-01293B-21 20212006__ Page 5 of 35 CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions. life, health, and safety of its people; damage and destroy 117 property; disrupt services and everyday business and 118 recreational activities; and impede economic growth and 119 development.

The Legislature further finds that this 120 vulnerability is exacerbated by the tremendous growth in the 121 state’s population, especially the growth in the number of 122 persons residing in coastal areas, in the elderly population, in 123 the number of seasonal vacationers, and in the number of persons 124 with special needs. This growth has greatly complicated the 125 state’s ability to coordinate its emergency management resources 126 and activities. 127

(2) It is the intent of the Legislature to reduce the 128 vulnerability of the people and property of this state; to 129 prepare for efficient evacuation and shelter of threatened or 130 affected persons; to provide for the rapid and orderly provision 131 of relief to persons and for the restoration of services and 132 property; to prepare for and efficiently respond to public 133 health emergencies; and to provide for the coordination of 134 activities relating to emergency preparedness, response, 135 recovery, and mitigation among and between agencies and 136 officials of this state, with similar agencies and officials of 137 other states, with local and federal governments, with 138 interstate organizations, and with the private sector. 139

(3) It is further the intent of the Legislature to promote 140 the state’s emergency preparedness, response, recovery, and 141 mitigation capabilities through enhanced coordination, long-term 142 planning, and adequate funding. State policy for responding to 143 disasters is to support local emergency response efforts. In the 144 case of a major or catastrophic disaster, however, the needs of 145

Florida Senate - 2021 SB 2006 20-01293B-21 20212006__ Page 6 of 35 CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions. residents and communities will likely be greater than local 146 resources. In these situations, the state must be capable of 147 providing effective, coordinated, and timely support to 148 communities and the public. Therefore, the Legislature hereby 149 determines and declares that the provisions of this act fulfill 150 an important state interest. 151

(4) It is further the intent of the Legislature to minimize 152 the negative effects of an extended emergency, such as a 153 pandemic or another public health emergency. The Legislature 154 recognizes that there are significant negative impacts on 155 children and families associated with school closures during a 156 public health emergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The 157 Legislature also recognizes the significant negative impacts of 158 such emergencies on the economy due to business closures. 159

(5) It is further the intent of the Legislature that all 160 aspects of emergency preparedness, response, and recovery be 161 transparent to the public to the greatest extent possible. 162

Section 2. Subsection (8) of

section 252.34, Florida 163 Statutes, is amended to read: 164 252.34

section consistent with legislative 535 policy and intent. The Governor is authorized to delegate such 536 powers as she or he may deem prudent. 537 (

b) Pursuant to the authority vested in her or him under 538 paragraph (a), the Governor may issue executive orders, 539 proclamations, and rules and may amend or rescind them. Such 540 executive orders, proclamations, and rules shall have the force 541 and effect of law and must be limited in duration to no more 542 than 30 days. An executive order, a proclamation, or a rule may 543 be reissued for 30-day periods if the emergency conditions 544 persist. If reissued, the order, proclamation, or rule must 545 state with specificity the provisions that are being reissued. 546 (

c) The Legislature intends that, during an extended public 547 health emergency such as the COVID-19 pandemic, there should be 548 a presumption that K-12 public schools, to the greatest extent 549 possible, should remain open so long as the health and safety of 550 students and school personnel can be maintained. The Legislature 551

Florida Senate - 2021 SB 2006 20-01293B-21 20212006__ Page 20 of 35 CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions. also intends that during such an event, there should be a 552 presumption that businesses should remain open to the greatest 553 extent possible so long as the health and safety of employees 554 and customers can be reasonably protected. 555 1.

If the Governor declares by executive order or 556 proclamation that the emergency requires closure of or 557 restricted in-person attendance at K-12 public schools, the 558 executive order or proclamation must contain specific reasons 559 for those determinations, and he or she must review and reassess 560 the situation regularly. 561 2.

If the Governor declares by executive order or 562 proclamation that the emergency requires businesses to have 563 restricted operations or closures, the executive order or 564 proclamation must contain specific reasons for those 565 determinations, and he or she must review and reassess the 566 situation regularly. 567

(2) A state of emergency must shall be declared by 568 executive order or proclamation of the Governor if she or he 569 finds an emergency has occurred or that the occurrence or the 570 threat thereof is imminent.

The state of emergency must shall 571 continue until the Governor finds that the threat or danger has 572 been dealt with to the extent that the emergency conditions no 573 longer exist and she or he terminates the state of emergency by 574 executive order or proclamation, but no state of emergency may 575 continue for longer than 60 days unless renewed by the Governor. 576 The Legislature by concurrent resolution may terminate a state 577 of emergency at any time.

Thereupon, the Governor shall issue an 578 executive order or proclamation ending the state of emergency. 579 All executive orders or proclamations issued under this

section 580

Florida Senate - 2021 SB 2006 20-01293B-21 20212006__ Page 21 of 35 CODING: Words stricken are deletions; words underlined are additions. must shall indicate the nature of the emergency, the area or 581 areas threatened, and the conditions which have brought the 582 emergency about or which make possible its termination.

An 583 executive order or proclamation must shall be promptly 584 disseminated by means calculated to bring its contents to the 585 attention of the general public; and, unless the circumstances 586 attendant upon the emergency prevent or impede such filing, the 587 order or proclamation must shall be filed promptly with the 588 Department of State, the President of the Senate and the Speaker 589 of the House of Representatives, and in the offices of the 590 county commissioners in the counties to which the order or 591 proclamation applies. 592 (3)(

a) At any time, the Legislature, by concurrent 593 resolution, may terminate a state of emergency or any specific 594 order or directive thereunder. Upon such concurrent resolution, 595 the Governor shall issue an executive order or proclamation 596 consistent with the concurrent resolution. 597 (

b) Notwithstanding s. 252.46(2), all emergency 598 declarations and orders, regardless of how titled, issued under 599 the authority of this part by the Governor or any agency, 600 whether by direct, delegated, or subdelegated authority, before, 601 during, or after a declared emergency must be immediately filed 602 with the Division of Administrative Hearings. Failure to file 603 any such declaration or order with the division within 3 days 604 after issuance voids the declaration or order.

The division 605 shall index all such declarations and orders and make them 606 available in searchable format on its website. The index must 607 include a search category that specifically identifies emergency 608 orders that are in effect at any given time. This subsection 609
