As coronavirus cases rise, San Bernardino County has asked the California Supreme Court to overturn Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order, alleging overreach under the state’s emergency act.
County officials are asking the state’s highest court to act by Dec. 28
, when the three-week order is set to expire or be renewed.
Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman said in a statement that Newsom has improperly acted as both the executive and legislative branch under the California Emergency Services Act since the pandemic hit nine months ago.
If the act grants the governor that power, then the act itself is unconstitutional, Hagman said.
