Emergency Management Assistance Compact.

Existing law ratifies, approves, and sets forth the provisions of the Emergency Management Assistance Compact, the purpose of which is to provide for mutual assistance between the states that are parties to the compact in managing any emergency or disaster that is duly declared by the governor of the affected state. Existing law separately requires the state to indemnify and make whole any officer or employee who is a resident of California, or their heirs, if the officer or employee is injured or killed in another state when rendering aid pursuant to the compact, as specified. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the indemnity provision.
