Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-686.2: Declarations

The Legislature declares:

1. Because of existing possibilities of natural or man-made

disasters or emergencies of unprecedented destructiveness, which may

result in the death or inability to act of a large proportion of the

membership of the Legislature; and

2. Because to conform in time of emergency or disaster to

existing legal requirements pertaining to the Legislature would be

impracticable, and would jeopardize continuity of operation of a

legally constituted Legislature; it is therefore necessary to adopt

special provisions as hereinafter set out for the effective

operation of the Legislature during natural or man-made disasters or

emergencies.
