Existing law provides that real property within the state of California is governed by the law of the state, except where title is in the United States. Existing law, the California Emergency Services Act, authorizes the Governor to proclaim a state of emergency, and local officials and local governments to proclaim a local emergency, when specified conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property exist, and authorizes the Governor or the appropriate local government to exercise certain powers in response to that emergency.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation regarding real property in impacted disaster areas.
