Either house may empower the presiding officer thereof to designate one or more members or officers of such house to make such a petition on his behalf. Any such designation shall be filed with the clerk of such house and, if a petition is made by any person named in such designation, a certified copy of such designation shall be submitted to the court, together with the petition.
(c) If a court to which such a petition is presented is satisfied that the petition sets forth a prima facie case for the granting of the relief requested and that interference with the proceedings or other business of the General Assembly may occur unless such relief is granted, the court may forthwith grant a temporary injunction granting the relief requested, in whole or in part, pending the ultimate determination of the matter after due notice and hearing. A copy of such temporary order and of the petition upon which it is based, together with notice of the date and place of a hearing to be held thereon, shall be given to such persons within such time and in such manner as the court shall direct.
