CHAPTER 15. PUBLIC SAFETY.

ARTICLE 7. EMERGENCY INTERIM LEGISLATIVE SUCCESSION ACT.

§15-7-2. Declaration of policy.

The Legislature declares: (1) That recent technological developments make possible an enemy attack of unprecedented destructiveness, which may result in the death of inability to act of a large proportion of the membership of the Legislature; (2) that to conform in time of attack to existing legal requirements pertaining to the Legislature would be impracticable, would admit of undue delay, and would jeopardize continuity of operation of a legally constituted Legislature; and (3) that it is therefore necessary to adopt special provisions as hereinafter set out for the effective operation of the Legislature.
