Statute 48-1310: Assumption of powers and duties of legislator by emergency
interim successor.
If in the event of an attack a legislator is unavailable, his or her emergency
interim successor shall exercise the powers and assume the duties of such
legislator. An emergency interim successor shall exercise these powers and
assume these duties until the incumbent legislator, or a legislator
appointed or elected and legally qualified can act. Each house of the
legislature shall, in accordance with its own rules, determine who is
entitled under the provisions of this act to exercise the powers and assume
the duties of its members. All constitutional and statutory provisions
pertaining to ouster of a legislator shall be applicable to an emergency
interim successor who is exercising the powers and assuming the duties of a
legislator.
