CACE Members:
I wanted to share the following update from CACE’s Policy Advisors at HBE. They have
a number of updates from today’s activities in and around the Capitol to share related
to the COVID-19 response. Please let us know if you have any questions.
Senate and Assembly Send Emergency Bills to the Governor
Today, the Assembly and Senate approved two measures in response to the COVID-19
Proclamation of Emergency. To do so, each house had to waive the constitutional
requirements for the 72-hour public notice for bills for the first time since the passage
of Proposition 54 (2016). Earlier, the Governor requested that the Legislature waive the
72-hour rule in order to pass legislation that amends the 2019-20 Budget Act to assist
in the response to the COVID-19 Proclamation of Emergency.
SB 89 (Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee): Provides the Governor with
additional expenditure authority to address the COVID-19 Proclamation of Emergency
with a $500 million General Fund appropriation for, including but not limited to, the
following:
Securing additional hospital facilities
Securing and providing hotel beds for people experiencing homelessness
Supporting local government to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in the homeless
population
Acquiring hospital and public health surge equipment;
Assisting hospitals, nursing homes, and other facilities as they manage the crisis
Cleaning of child care facilities so they remain open
Providing support for IHSS/APS services
A 72-hour written notice to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) is required
prior to any expenditures from this appropriation. The appropriation may be increased
in $50 million increments up to a total not to exceed $1 billion, with a 72-hour notice to
the JLBC.
SB 89 also contains $84.1 million in funds for the California Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery for costs associated with debris removal during the Camp Fire.
Additionally, SB 89 includes intent language that directs the Administration to work
with the federal government and with the Legislature to develop strategies that can be
included in the 2020-21 state budget to assist individuals, nonprofit organizations, and
small businesses experiencing economic hardships due to the impacts of COVID-19.
SB 117 (Senate Budget and Fiscal Review Committee): Enacts various statutory changes
to implement the Governor’s executive order related to COVID-19 outbreak:
Appropriates $100 million Proposition 98 General Fund for local educational
agencies to purchase protective equipment and supplies and labor related to
cleaning school sites.
Clarifies that average daily attendance (ADA) will be reflected and averaged only
through February 29, 2020.
Requires schools to certify closings due to COVID-19 outbreak.
Extends deadline for English learner assessment, statewide testing assessments,
and physical performance tests.
Waives certain special education timelines.
Holds harmless after school and school child care programs.
State Treasurer Announces COVID-19 Relief Measures
State Treasurer Fiona Ma announced efforts to assist taxpayers and businesses during
the COVID-19 outbreak. The Franchise Tax Board announced an extension to file 2019
California tax returns and make payments until June 15. Partnerships and LLCs who are
taxed as partnerships and whose returns are due on March 15 now have a 90-day
extension to file and pay by June 15. Individual filers whose returns are due on April 15
now have a 60-day extension to file and pay by June 15.
Treasurer Ma is urging the Governor and the Legislature to take the following actions
over the next six months:
Suspend the $800 LLC tax and the LLC fee for the prepayment of the 2020
calendar tax filing year
Extend the state sales tax filing deadlines without interest, penalties, or fines on
late payment
Houses Take Steps to Allow Remote Participation in Meetings and Approve
Extended Break
Today, the Senate approved rule changes to authorize flexibility for the Senate to
conduct business via remote participation from senators. SR 86 would allow for this
flexibility only during a state or local emergency and at the authorization of the Senate
President pro Tempore.
Additionally, both houses approved ACR 189 that authorizes a joint recess effective
immediately through April 13, the day Legislature would have returned from its
regularly scheduled Spring Break. Provisions in the resolution permit the houses to
return sooner if conditions were to change. Reportedly, the Legislature will skip or
dramatically truncate their planned July summer recess to make up for the lost time
this Spring. More details to come as we learn them …
Governor Newsom Issues New Executive Orders and Makes Other Announcements
to Expand State’s Response to COVID-19 Outbreak
This evening, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-28-20 relating to
protecting renters and homeowners during the COVID-19 outbreak. Specifically, the
order provides protections against residential evictions through May 31, 2020 and
suspends any state law that would preclude a local government from providing similar
protections from residential or commercial evictions for nonpayment of rent or
foreclosure. Additionally, the order requests that public housing authorities extend
deadlines for housing assistance applicants to provide records or documents related to
their eligibility for programs. The order directs the Department of Business Oversight to
engage with financial institutions to identify tools to avoid threats of foreclosure and
urges financial institutions to impose an immediate moratorium on foreclosures and
foreclosure-related evictions when they arise from COVID-19-related impacts. Finally,
the order directs the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to monitor measures
undertaken by public and private utility providers to implement customer service
protections for critical utilities and report to the Administration on a weekly basis.
We also would note that in follow-up to the his recommended actions announced
yesterday regarding self-isolation for higher-risk groups, the Governor issued Executive
Order N-27-20 to address the health and safety needs of vulnerable Californians
residing in health care, residential, and non-residential facilities licensed by the state.
In a Facebook live address this evening, the Governor also made a range of new
announcements – including a statewide directive to halt in-person dining at restaurants
(while allowing take-out dining to continue) as well as relaxing of enforcement for
expired registration tags and other technical violations to ease the demand on the
Department of Motor Vehicles.
Expect more Executive Orders and other gubernatorial announcements in the future as
the pandemic response progresses.
Local Jurisdictions Takes Steps to Limit Transmission of Virus
At the local level, the situation remains fluid. We know of a number of counties have
taken action to shelter in place and will continue to monitor as the week progresses.
(Santa Clara County – one of eight Bay Area jurisdictions that took similar action –
issued a shelter in place order today.) Other local jurisdictions have taken steps to close
non-essential services.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
