impossible to conduct the affairs of state government at the state capital, the

Governor shall, as often as the exigencies of the situation require, by proclamation,

for an orderly transition of the affairs of state government to the temporary location.

If practicable, the te mporary location designated by the Governor shall conform to

temporary location shall remain as the seat of government until the Governor

establishes a new location under this section , or until the emergency is ended and

the seat of government is returned to its normal location.

required by law to be performed at the seat of government by any officer,

independent agency, division, or authority of this Commonwealth, including the

convening and meeting of the General Assembly in regular or special session, shall

be as valid and binding when performed at that temporary location as if performed

at the normal location.
