RE: Transition Period Prior to Repeal of COVID-related Executive Orders
Dear Mr. Knaus, Ms. Miller, Ms. Hurst, Ms. Preston, Ms. Heaton, Ms. King, Ms. Coleman,
Ms. Blacet-Hyden, Mr. McCormick, Mr. Anderson, and colleagues,
Thank you for your correspondence of May 18, 2021, inquiring what impact the
anticipated June 15 termination of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy will have on
Executive Order N-29-20, which provided flexibility to state and local agencies and
boards to conduct their business through virtual public meetings during the COVID-19
pandemic.
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM • SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95814 • (916) 445-2841
Please be assured that this Executive Order Provision will not terminate on June 15 when
the Blueprint is scheduled to terminate. While the Governor intends to terminate COVID-
19 executive orders at the earliest possible date at which conditions warrant, consistent
with the Emergency Services Act, the Governor recognizes the importance of an
orderly return to the ordinary conduct of public meetings of state and local agencies
and boards. To this end, the Governor's office will work to provide notice to affected
stakeholders in advance of rescission of this provision to provide state and local
agencies and boards time necessary to meet statutory and logistical requirements. Until
a further order issues, all entities may continue to rely on N-29-20.
We appreciate your partnership throughout the pandemic.
Regards,
t
Ana Mat autos
Cabinet S cretary
