It appears that Pennsylvania voters are putting restrictions on a governor’s power during an emergency following yesterday’s amendment questions.
According to the Inquirer, the two amendments will be approved by voters.
The vote comes as Republican lawmakers sought to rollback Governor Wolf’s restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proponents of the bill say the legislation should have a voice in an emergency situation.
With the vote, a governor can now only issue a 21-day emergency declaration with the legislators then having an opportunity to expand it, or it can end at any time with a simple majority vote.
