§ 42-60-9. Orders, rules, and regulations. (a) The governor may make, amend, and rescind any orders, rules, and regulations that he or she may deem advisable to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
(b) All orders, rules, and regulations promulgated by the governor shall become effective immediately except as provided in subsection (c).
(c) All orders by the governor to amend or suspend certain state rules and regulations in effect prior to the declaration of an energy crisis may become effective no sooner than forty-eight (48) hours after the governor has notified the joint committee on legislative services of the orders and the effective dates of these orders. The orders to amend or suspend state rules and regulations shall become effective unless the committee disapproves the orders within forty-eight (48) hours by a majority vote; provided, however, that the orders shall be effective immediately if approved by the majority of the committee. Thereafter, all of the effective orders, rules, or regulations shall have the full force and effect of law, when, in the event of issuance by the governor, a copy is filed in the office of the secretary of state. All existing provisions of any regulatory statute prescribing the procedures for the conduct of state business, rules and regulations inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, or inconsistent with any order, rule, or regulation issued under the authority of this chapter shall be suspended during the period of time and to the extent that the conflict exists. All orders, rules, and regulations promulgated by the governor pursuant to this chapter shall terminate with the termination of the energy crisis.
(d) In order to attain uniformity so far as practicable throughout the country in measures taken to aid in energy crisis management, all action taken under this chapter and all orders, rules, and regulations made pursuant to this chapter, where not already specifically provided for, shall be taken or made with due consideration to the orders, rules, regulations, actions, recommendations, and requests of federal authorities relevant to these and, to the extent permitted by law, shall be consistent with these orders, rules, regulations, actions, recommendations, and requests.
