Bill Subjects

State Of Emergency.

Abstract

Existing law empowers the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency in an area affected or likely to be affected when the Governor finds that specified circumstances exist and either the Governor is requested to do so by the mayor or chief executive in the case of a city or by the chairman of the board of supervisors or the county administrative officer in the case of a county, or the Governor finds that the local authority is inadequate to cope with the emergency. This bill would require the governor to approve a request from a city or county within 60 days of receiving the request, except if the Governor has requested federal emergency assistance or a federal declaration of a major disaster.
