Senate Concurrent Resolution by Senator Polsky seeks to terminate the state of emergency declared by Governor Ron DeSantis through Executive Order 23-03, which was issued on January 6, 2023, in response to concerns over illegal immigration. The resolution notes that the Governor has extended this state of emergency multiple times and cites Florida Statutes section 252.36(3)(a), which grants the Legislature the authority to terminate such declarations through a concurrent resolution.
The resolution formally concludes that the state of emergency, along with any related orders, proclamations, or rules issued under Executive Order 23-03, is hereby terminated. Additionally, it mandates that the Governor must issue an executive order to officially end the state of emergency as required by the relevant statute.
