Such disapproval shall be by a majority vote, provided at least one of the minority leaders shall vote for such disapproval.

The joint legislative committee shall meet to review the proclamation of an energy emergency every sixty days until such emergency ends and may disapprove such proclamation by a simple majority vote. Such order shall remain in effect until termination by further order by the Governor, which termination shall become effective upon filing such order in the office of the Secretary of the State. Such order shall be published in full at least once in a newspaper having general circulation in each county, provided failure to publish shall not impair the validity of such order.
