Explanation
The bill requires that the Governor provide businesses five days'
notice before any proclamation of a civil preparedness emergency.
This notice must be published in newspapers in each county and
posted on the state internet website before issuing any declaration,
proclamation, or order that restricts a business's ability to operate or
capacity to do business. The costs associated with publishing notice in
various newspapers is estimated to be less than $25,000.
The Out Years
It is anticipated that these costs would be one-time in nature.
