On May 8, Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an executive order that extends some critical deadlines that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The executive order extends deadlines for certification requirements for public school project inspectors who previously passed an initial evaluation, as well as Certified Access Specialists who ensure compliance with disability access in properties and businesses. The order also gives the State Fire Marshal 60 days to publish lists of building materials requirements and registration renewals for flame-retardant fabrics and applications.

Additionally, the order extends for 60 days the expiration dates for notaries public whose commissions are set to expire.

Also, the order enhances public safety by allowing retired peace officers to temporarily be reemployed for up to a year if they left the agency in good standing.
