Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

Emergency response and recovery: states of emergency and transition periods - Declaring transition periods - Declaring local transition period

149: Local transition period may be concurrent with national emergency declarations

You could also call this:

"A local transition period can happen at the same time as a national emergency."

Illustration for Emergency Management Bill (No 2)

If you are in a local transition period, it can happen at the same time as a national emergency. You can still be in a local transition period even if the government declares a national emergency or a national transition period. The rules about local transition periods will still apply. If a national emergency or national transition period is declared at the same time as a local transition period, some special rules will apply, which are outlined in section 59. If another emergency happens and the government declares a national emergency or national transition period, your local transition period will still be in force, even if both emergencies are happening in the same place.
