Sacramento, CA — With many residents staying home due to COVID-19 precautions, Governor Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order to ease restrictions on commercial drivers supporting emergency relief efforts.
It comes in conjunction with a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s emergency waiver to ensure the flow of critical supplies and equipment.
The state’s order also suspends existing law for employers directly impacted by COVD-19 and directs the Labor and Workforce Development Agency to provide guidance to impacted employees. You can find the order by clicking here.
