Whenever an emergency exists which involves the banking or credit structure within the State of Illinois, and which is recognized by a proclamation by the Governor or by an act or resolution of the General Assembly, and by such proclamation of the Governor a public holiday has been or shall be declared, the proclamation of such public holiday shall not require the recorder or registrar of titles in any county in this State to close the recorder's or registrar's office, but every such recorder or registrar of titles shall continue to keep the recorder's or registrar's office open and to operate in the same manner as though no such public holiday had been declared, unless in and by such proclamation the Governor of this State shall make specific reference to the closing of recorders' or registrars' offices in this State. The actions of any recorder or registrar of titles performed prior to May 26, 1933 and during the continuance of any such holiday, are validated.
