By concurrent resolution, the Legislature may terminate any order issued under this section.
(3) The commissioner shall publish in the next available publication of the Florida Administrative Register a copy of the text of any order issued under this section, together with a statement describing the modification or suspension and explaining how the modification or suspension will facilitate recovery from the emergency.
