RESOLVED, THAT THIS CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SHALL TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

Enforcement

Constitutional; the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania in Corman v. Acting Secretary (PA-045) recites the termination

Notes

Ended the disaster emergency but not the Secretary of Health's disease-control orders (which rest on the Disease Prevention and Control Law) nor the regulatory suspensions (carried forward by Act 21 of 2021, PA-040).
