California AB986 declares a state of emergency for landslides and climate change impacts.

California AB986 amends the Government Code to declare a state of emergency for landslides and climate change impacts. This bill expands the conditions under which the Governor can proclaim a state of emergency to include landslides and climate change. It also defines three levels of emergency: state of war emergency, state of emergency, and local emergency. The bill ensures that certain conditions, such as deenergization events, do not trigger specific obligations for electric utilities.
