The Emergency Health Powers Act (EHPA) is a draft prepared for the Center of Disease Control (CDC) by the Center for Law and the Public's Health at John Hopkins and Georgetown University. The CDC is urging all states to adopt an EHPA which gives the governors of the states broad, unilateral emergency powers. The original draft came out on October 3, 2001 and because of public outcry, a revised draft was issued December 21.
In
Illinois there has been two legislative bills introduced to establish
the Illinois Emergency Health Powers Act. One is SB
1529 sponsored by Sen. Lisa Madigan (Dem.)
Currently SB 1529 is stalled in the Senate Rules Committee and is
