Gov. Gavin Newsom lift the state of emergency in California on June 15, he said Friday.
Asked if he would lift the order that gives him broad emergency powers on June 15, the day he said he would lift most COVID restrictions, Newsom said:"The emergency remains in effect after June 15."
California has been under a state of emergency since March 2020. Since then, Newsom has issued some 47 executive orders to alter or suspend 200 state laws and regulations because of the virus, according to a resolution from state Republicans. The governor indicated he may need to use such emergency powers in the future."Some modifications may need to be in order on the basis of changing conditions," he said.
The state legislature could end Newsom’s emergency powers through a resolution and has repeatedly tried to do so, but has been blocked by Democrats.
