Sec. 3.
(1) The governor may declare, by executive order or proclamation, a state of energy emergency upon notification of an impending energy emergency by the energy advisory committee under section 2(2), or upon the governor's own initiative if the governor finds that an energy emergency exists or is imminent.
(2) Except as provided in subsections (3) and (4), the state of an energy emergency declared by the governor pursuant to subsection (1) shall continue until the governor finds that the energy emergency no longer exists, or until the state of energy emergency has been in effect for 90 days, whichever period is shorter.
(3) After a state of energy emergency has been in effect for 90 days, the legislature may approve an extension of the state of energy emergency for a specific number of days by a concurrent resolution adopted by a record roll call vote by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house of the legislature. If the legislature does not act to extend the state of energy emergency pursuant to this subsection, the state of energy emergency is terminated.
(4) The legislature may terminate a state of energy emergency at any time after the governor declares a state of energy emergency, by a concurrent resolution adopted by a record roll call vote by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house of the legislature.
