On Sunday, the Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee scheduled a meeting for June 8 on House Resolution 836 (Diamond-R-Lebanon) that would terminate the COVID-19 disaster emergency issued by the Governor.
Recall that Republicans believe, if passed by the Senate, the resolution will go into effect immediately. The Wolf Administration disagrees, pointing to a provision in the state constitution requiring presentment of all concurrent resolutions to the Governor for his action.
Also on the agenda is Senate Bill 1166 (Ward-R-Westmoreland) that would amend the constitution to require the General Assembly to reauthorize emergencies declared by the Governor.
The meeting will be held Off the Floor, which means there is no set time for the meeting. It could be held any time after the Senate convenes June 8. Click Here to watch live.
