Operative words

WHEREAS, on April 2, 2020 at 3:12 p.m. Governor Brian Kemp issued an Executive Order... declaring: That pursuant to Code Section 38-3-51, the powers of... cities conveyed in Title 36... are hereby suspended to the extent of suspending enforcement of any local ordinance or order adopted or issued since March 1, 2020, with the stated purpose or effect of responding to a public health state of emergency, ordering residents to shelter in place, ordering a quarantine, or combatting the spread of coronavirus or COVID-19 that in any way conflicts, varies, or differs from the terms of this Order.... IT IS HEREBY DECLARED that, to the extent Governor Kemp's April 2nd Executive Order expires, terminates, is amended... or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable..., the First Amended Declaration of Local Emergency ('Shelter at Home') in whole shall take immediate effect; and... upon revival it shall automatically be extended through 11:59 p.m. on April 30, 2020.

Enforcement

City Code § 1-1013

Notes

The City's own recital of the State preemption clause in Kemp EO 04.02.20.01 is the cleanest primary statement of how Georgia displaced local stay-home orders on April 3, 2020.
