An "Emergency Rule" is a temporary regulation enacted by a government or authority during a crisis or urgent situation. This rule allows for quick decision-making and action to address immediate threats, such as natural disasters, public health emergencies, or security issues. It often bypasses the usual lengthy legislative processes to ensure rapid response. These rules are typically limited in duration and scope, designed to restore order or protect public safety. Once the emergency is resolved, the Emergency Rule may be reviewed, modified, or allowed to expire, returning governance to standard procedures and regulations.
