§ 4-1-3-1 — Governor's duties; general assembly establishing location

Whenever, due to any emergency resulting from
the effects of enemy attack, or the anticipated effects of a threatened
enemy attack, it becomes imprudent, inexpedient, or impossible to
conduct the affairs of state government at the normal location of the
seat of state government 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 the place, or places, within or
without this state as the governor may deem advisable under the
circumstances, and shall take action and issue orders as may be
necessary for an orderly transition of the affairs of state government to
the emergency temporary location, or locations. The 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.
