Section § 7466

Explanation

This law allows Covered California to quickly create emergency rules to manage specific parts of their operations. These emergency rules are seen as critical for public well-being and can bypass some usual procedures, staying in effect for up to two years. They must still follow certain steps outlined in the Government Code to become official.

(a)CA Business & Professions Code § 7466(a) Emergency regulations may be adopted by Covered California in order to implement and administer subdivisions (c) and (g) of Section 7454.
(b)CA Business & Professions Code § 7466(b) Any emergency regulation adopted pursuant to this section shall be adopted in accordance with Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 11340) of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, and, for purposes of that chapter, including Section 11349.6 of the Government Code, the adoption of the regulation is an emergency and shall be considered by the Office of Administrative Law as necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health and safety, and general welfare. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the emergency regulations adopted by Covered California may remain in effect for two years from the date of adoption.
