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 through subsequent executive orders, but under Florida Statutes section 252.36(3)(a), the Legislature has the authority to terminate such declarations by concurrent resolution.
The resolution formally concludes the state of emergency and any related orders, proclamations, or rules that were established under Executive Order 23-03. It also mandates that the Governor issue an executive order to officially terminate the state of emergency, in compliance with the statutory requirements.
