(5 ILCS 195/1) (from Ch. 123, par. 7)
Sec. 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
Springfield, in the County, Sangamon, the Governor shall, as often as the
exigencies of the situation require, by proclamation, declare an emergency
temporary location, or locations, for the seat of government at such place,
or places, within or without this State as he may deem advisable under the
circumstances, and shall take such action and issue such orders as may be
necessary for an orderly transition of the affairs of State Government to
such emergency temporary location, or locations. Such emergency temporary
location, or locations, shall remain as the seat of government until the
General Assembly shall by law establish a new location, or locations, or
until the emergency is declared to be ended by the Governor and the seat of
government is returned to its normal location.
