California Governor Newsom enacted the bill entitled “AB-262 Local health officers: communicable diseases” on October 12, 2019, only a few weeks before Covid-19 cases appeared in China. This bill gives the governor the ability to require county health officers to issue orders to local agencies, bypassing local officials. This appears to legalize the Newsom dictatorship. Registered California voters can sign the recall petition at RecallGavin202.com.
Below is a excerpt from the bill stating that the bill would create a state-mandated local program than imposes requirements on local health officials. My understanding is that this bill allows the Governor to dictate health orders via local health officers with no possibility of local officials overruling the requirements. In turn the health officers are required to give orders to local agencies, such as law enforcement.
The bill would authorize the local health officer to issue orders to other governmental entities within the local health officer’s jurisdiction to take any action the local health officer deems necessary to control the spread of the communicable disease. By imposing new requirements on local health officers, this bill would create a state-mandated local program.

Gov. Newsom, we are all disgusted in you and your deceptive way of handling California. We will not stand for your authoritarian brain washing. There is no tolerance for a person like you to be a servant to your constituents that you think you are serving. You and all of your chronies have got to go.
