Governor's duties; general assembly establishing location
Sec. 1. Whenever, due to any emergency resulting from the effects
of enemy attack, or the anticipated effects of a threatened enemy

thereof in Indianapolis, Marion County, state of Indiana, 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.
