N/A
BACKGROUND:
On April 21, 2020, the City Council passed Ordinance 20-040 which extended the Naperville Declaration of Emergency throughout any extension of the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation. Once the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation expires, the City's Declaration of Emergency and the mayor's outstanding executive orders will expire concurrently.
The last Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation (2021-11) was issued by Governor Pritzker on May 28, 2021 and will be in effect for 30 days, until June 26, 2021. It is expected that as early as June 11, 2021 Governor Pritzker will issue a determination that Illinois has reached Phase 5 of the Restore Illinois Plan and can fully reopen. It is unknown at this time whether the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation will remain in effect beyond June 11, 2021. The governor could take one of three actions:
1. Terminate the Gubernatorial Disaster Proclamation concurrent with the transition to Phase 5;
2. Allow the existing Proclamation to expire on June 26, 2021; or
3. Extend the Proclamation into Phase 5.
