In response to the coronavirus pandemic, states have issued hundreds of rule changes ranging from public health and safety to business protocols and election procedures over the last few years.
Governors usually have the power to declare a state of emergency when there are major natural disasters, disease epidemics, or other threats to public health. Many states ordered lockdowns or home quarantines early in the pandemic.
However, in the months that followed, some states saw a schism between the executive and legislative branches over how to implement the orders. Hundreds of bills were introduced by legislators to limit the powers of governors in times of emergency, and ten of these were eventually passed into law in eight states.
Surprisingly, the governorship and legislature in the majority of those eight states were controlled by the same political party. Republicans ran for governor in three states: Arkansas, Ohio, and Utah. In Colorado and New York, two of them were Democrats: Kansas, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania are the other three states with Democratic governors but Republican-majority legislatures.
