Operative words

DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY TO COORDINATE RESPONSE AND PROTECTIVE ACTIONS TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF COVID-19... N.C. Gen. Stat. 166A-19.10 and 166A-19.20 authorize the undersigned to declare a state of emergency and exercise the powers and duties set forth therein

Enforcement

Predicate for every later order; every later order recites that 'An Executive Order rescinding the Declaration of the State of Emergency will automatically rescind this Executive Order'

Notes

Never renewed periodically; continued by its terms until EO 267 terminated it at the end of Aug. 15, 2022. Also activated price-gouging law and transportation waivers. Scanned PDF; page 1 read visually.

Retrieval note

The bundled prior-research row stating the emergency ended 2021-08-15 by EO 224 is wrong; corrected here.
