25-1-101. Emergency relocation of seat of government.
(a)(1) Whenever due to an emergency resulting from the effects of enemy attack or the anticipated effects of a threatened enemy attack, it becomes imprudent, inexpedient, or impossible to conduct the affairs of state government at the normal location of the seat thereof in the City of Little Rock, the Governor, as often as the exigencies of the situation require, shall by proclamation declare an emergency temporary location for the seat of government at a place within or without this state which he or she may deem advisable under the circumstances. The Governor shall take any action and issue any orders which may be necessary for an orderly transition of the affairs of state government to the emergency temporary location.
(2) The emergency temporary location shall remain as the seat of government until the General Assembly shall by law establish a new location or until the emergency is declared to be ended by the Governor and the seat of government is returned to its normal location.
(b) During such time as the seat of government remains at the emergency temporary location, all official acts required by law to be performed at the seat of government by any officer, agency, department, or authority of this state, including the convening and meeting of the General Assembly in regular, extraordinary, or emergency session, shall be as valid and binding when performed at the emergency temporary location as if performed at the normal location of the seat of government.
(c) The provisions of this section shall control and be supreme in the event it shall be employed, notwithstanding the provisions of any other law to the contrary or in conflict herewith.
