OVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards Revisions Now in Effect
(Source: CalChamber)
After some recent back and forth on revisions to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards, the Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (OSHSB) finally adopted the most recent revisions on June 17, 2021. On the same day, Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order so the revisions could take effect without the Office of Administrative Law’s normal 10-day review period — meaning the revised standards also took effect on June 17.

Virtual Emerging Issues Forum to Provide an Update on the CA Citizens Redistricting Commission
Thursday, July 1, 2021
8:00 AM - 9:30 AM PST
Online Event via Zoom
This month's Forum will feature an update from Commissioner Patricia Sinay of the CA Redistricting Commission on the work of the Commission.
BACKGROUND:
In November 2008, California voters passed the Voters FIRST Act, authorizing the creation of the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw new district lines, taking the job out of the hands of the California Legislature and transferring it to the citizens. In 2010, the VOTERS FIRST Act for Congress added the responsibility of drawing Congressional districts to the Commission.
NOTE: Per California Government Code Section 8253(3)--Commission members and staff may not communicate with or receive communications about redistricting matters from anyone outside of a public hearing. Therefore, the Commission will not be taking any public input during these educational presentations.

Please help!” This is the beginning of the grandparent scam. More details.
