California's top court lets stand ruling that upheld Gov. Newsom's emergency powers
and said the state’s 1970 Emergency Services Act gave him broad powers during the pandemic.
Republican Assemblymen James Gallagher of Yuba City and Kevin Kiley of Rocklin appealed that ruling to the California Supreme Court. Kiley has sinceMeeting in closed session, the state high court issued a brief order declining to review the ruling or to decertify it so it could not be cited as precedent in future court cases. None of the justices dissented.
While the Republicans’ suit against Newsom was pending, the California Legislature passed a law calling for mail-in ballots to be sent to voters. That mooted the original purpose of the lawsuit, but the GOP lawmakers pressed it to prevent Newsom from changing state law by other executive orders. The California Constitution gives only the Legislature the power to create new laws. But the appeals court said the emergency services statute gave the governor “police power,” a term the justices said included the right to make new laws.
The court said the law was constitutional because it required the governor to terminate a declared state of emergency as soon as possible and also allowed the Legislature to end it.
