During COVID, California's governor used unchecked emergency powers to shut down churches for years. AB 1835 limits those powers to 90 days and requires the legislature to approve any extension.
CFC Analysis
During the COVID crisis, the governor abused his power by extending the state of emergency for years, and during that time, he abused the church's ability to worship. This bill would limit those powers to 90 days, unless the legislature extends them.

Call Script
Hello, my name is {YOUR NAME}, and I'm a California constituent calling to urge you to vote YES on AB 1835. During the COVID pandemic, our governor extended emergency powers for years without legislative oversight — and used those powers to restrict churches from worshipping freely. AB 1835 would limit emergency declarations to 90 days, requiring the legislature to approve any extension. This is a commonsense check on executive power that protects both our religious freedoms and our democratic process. Please vote YES on AB 1835. Thank you so much for your time and your service.
