Operative words
Senate Enrolled Act 5... 'ensures local elected officials have the final say on local health orders issued in response to a declared emergency' and requires 'the local legislative body to approve any health order that is more stringent than a statewide order under an emergency' (Taft bulletin, quoting the Act's sponsors); Governor's veto overridden May 10, 2021 (Senate 36-10; House 59-30) (WRTV; Indiana House Republicans release).
Enforcement
Statutory condition on the effectiveness of local health orders; EOs 21-15 through 21-27 incorporate it
Notes
The codified section's substance was confirmed from FindLaw's current Indiana Code text of § 16-20-1-21.5 and from the Governor's own orders citing the section.
