Governor Gavin Newsom issued
Executive Order N-65-20 which, in part, extends two
statutorily imposed timelines that are significant to counties.
Specifically, this order extends the statutory deadline for
presenting claims against public entities pursuant to Government
Code section 911, et seq. by 60 additional days. It also extends
the timeline for reimbursement claims from local governments to
the State Controller’s Office for costs related to state
prisoners pursuant to Penal Code 4750 (j) by 60 days.
The extended timeframes for both claims against public entities
and claims by local government to the state for costs related to
state prisoners were originally published on March 21st under
Executive Order N-35-20.
In addition to these extended timeframes, this order also:
Waives the 10 percent cash or in-kind matching requirements
for state grants awarded to domestic violence service provider
organizations.
Waives the deadline to verify grade point average and waives
certification requirements and selective service registration
verification for Cal Grant applicants.
Suspends programmatic deadlines for entities that receive
funding from the Energy Commission for the development and
deployment of new technologies that support the state’s clean
energy and de-carbonization goals.
