Public Health Emergency Authority Act (feat. Kendyl Turner)

Published October 23, 2024

Welcome to the Emerging Issues Show – the show where we talking about topics that are popping up on the peripheries of society and public policy.

Today, we dive into what should be a very controversial piece of proposed legislation that could grant governors immense emergency powers over society, circumventing individual liberty in the name of “public safety.” Seems pretty crazy, but the craziest aspect to it all is the same reason why you probably haven’t heard of it.

Our guest today is Kendyl Turner, a fellow in the American Journey Experience Freedom Rising Fellowship program and author of the article “This bill would turn governors into tyrants, no legislature needed.”
