The governor may issue necessary orders for orderly transition of the affairs of government to any temporary disaster location, which remains the seat of state government until the legislature establishes a new location or until the disaster is declared ended by the legislature and the seat is returned to its normal location in Santa Fe.
B.Any official act or meeting required to be performed at the seat of state government is valid when performed at a temporary disaster location under this section.
