If, in the event of an emergency or disaster a legislator is
unavailable, the emergency interim successor highest in order of
succession who is not unavailable shall, except for the power and
duty to appoint emergency interim successors, exercise the powers
and assume the duties of such legislator. An emergency interim
successor shall exercise these powers and assume these duties until
the incumbent legislator, an emergency interim successor higher in
order of succession, or a legislator appointed or elected and
legally qualified can act. Each house of the Legislature shall, in
accordance with its own rules, determine who is entitled under the
provisions of this act to exercise the powers and assume the duties
of its members. All constitutional and statutory provisions
pertaining to ouster of a legislator shall be applicable to an
emergency interim successor who is exercising the powers and
assuming the duties of a legislator.
