This measure would designate the week of January 30, 2022, to February 5, 2022, inclusive, as Physician Anesthesiologist Week.
This measure would declare that passengers in motor vehicles should be educated and encouraged to advocate for their own safety and the safety of others during National Passenger Safety Week, the week of January 23 to 29, 2022, inclusive.
Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, provides for the mitigation of the effects of emergencies in the state by, among other things, authorizing the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency when specified conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist and by creating the Office of Emergency Services within the office of the Governor. The act makes a violation of its provisions punishable as a misdemeanor. This bill would prohibit a contract entered into pursuant to the act from containing an automatic renewal clause except if, by the terms of that contract, the clause is operative only upon the Legislature's approval, by concurrent resolution or statute, of the renewal of the contract. By expanding the scope of the crime of violating the act, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
Existing law, the Information Practices Act of 1977, prescribes a set of requirements, prohibitions, and remedies applicable to certain state agencies, as defined, with regard to their collection, storage, and disclosure of personal information. Existing law defines the term "commercial purpose," as used in that law, to mean any purpose that has a financial gain as a major objective. This bill would revise the above definition of "commercial purpose" to instead mean any purpose that has financial gain as an objective.
Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act (CESA) , among other things, authorizes the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency in an area affected or likely to be affected thereby if specified conditions exist and either specified local officials request the Governor to so declare, or the Governor determines that local authority is inadequate to cope with, the emergency. During a state of emergency, existing law confers on the Governor, to the extent the Governor deems necessary, complete authority over all agencies of the state government and the right to exercise within the area designated all police power vested in the state by the Constitution and laws of the state to effectuate the purposes of the CESA. This bill would, instead, authorize the Governor to exercise within the area designated all executive power vested in the state by the Constitution and laws of the state to effectuate the purposes of the CESA. The bill would also make various nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
