JEDE COVID-19 Weekend Update - December 11 Edition

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Unprecedented Surge in COVID-19 Cases Continues:   Below is the most current CalOES status update.

  • Update to COVID19.CA.gov:  California’s official COVID-19 website has been updated to reflect the new small business programs.  It is well put together and could be a useful new link (https://covid19.ca.gov/business-and-employers/)   A selection from the updated website is below.

  • Mnuchin Testifies Before Congress:  US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin testified before the Congressional Oversight Commission on December 10, 2020.  https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1207  The primary focus of his testimony was the $17 billion National Security Loan Program, which authorizes loans to businesses critical to maintaining national security.  The authorizing statute provided no specific definition of which businesses were to be included within the loan program.  The US Treasury, after consulting with Department of Defense and the Office of Director of National Intelligence, established a definition and has awarded 11 loans totaling nearly $736 million.  “Many of the companies we initially expected to take part in the program were able to raise funds in the capital markets, leaving most of the available loan funds unused.  Going forward, I urge Congress to re-allocate these funds to provide relief for aviation industry workers.”

  • Update on Federal Stimulus Package:  According to news reports, the $908 billion stimulus package proposed by a centrist group of Senators has served as a catalyst for re-engagement on a package prior to US Congress leaving for the year.  Among other proposals, the Administration is proposing a $916 billion coronavirus package that includes $600 stimulus checks and no federal unemployment benefit.  According to Bloomberg, the Administration’s proposal is “essentially a joint proposal from the White House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy.  Mnuchin said he conferred with President Donald Trump, whose support will be needed to gather GOP votes.”  Key provisions of the various proposals being discussed:

    • Supplemental UI Payment:  Provide enhanced federal unemployment benefits for four months at a rate of $300 per week – Administration proposal excludes this provision, but House Dems are pushing to make this a mandatory component of any package.

    • PUA Extension:  Extend expiring UI benefits and the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program, which expires on December 26, 2020 – Administration proposal includes this provision

    • Stimulus Payments:  $600 stimulus checks with an additional $600 per child – Administration’s proposal – President-elect Biden has expressed support for another round of stimulus checks

    • Liability Waiver:  A six-month moratorium on coronavirus-related lawsuits – important to the Administration, the centrist Senators proposal, and possibly to the broader Senate Republican Caucus – Democrats have said they are opposed to this provision – Mnuchin is quoted as saying that this provision is linked to the state and local funding, either both are in or both are out

    • State and Local Funding:  $160 billion in funding for state and local governments – ongoing discussions include making this appropriation higher – the Administration proposal agrees to $160 billion

    • Small Business Funding:  $288 billion in funding to support small business, including additional Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds – all groups seem to agree on more PPP funding

    • Re-Open Schools:  $82 billion in education funding – the Administration’s proposal proposes $100 billion  

    • Vaccine Deployment:  $16 billion for vaccine development and distribution as well as contact tracing and Covid-19 testing – does not appear to be included within the Administration’s proposal

    • USPS:  $10 billion for the US Postal Service – included in the centrist Senator proposal, but not included in the Administration’s proposal

    • Student Loan Relief:  $4 billion for student loan relief – included in the centrist Senator proposal, but not included in the Administration’s proposal

  • Prevent Wildfires and Protect Reliability of Power Lines:  The US Forest Service, located within the US Department of Agriculture, opened a public comment period on two proposed directives that are intended to address wildfire safety and reliability for power line operations on national forests and grasslands. https://www.fs.usda.gov/news/releases/usda-forest-service-proposes-changes-directives-help-prevent-wildfire-and-protect  According to the announcement, the proposed directives implement provisions in the 2018 Farm Bill and amendments made in 2018 to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.  The 30-day public comment period ends January 11, 2021.

  • Expiring Federal UI Benefits:  The California Employment Development Department issued a reminder to Californians currently receiving certain unemployment insurance payments authorized by or funded through the federal CARES Act, that these benefits are scheduled to expire December 26, 2020.  Absent US Congressional action, an estimated 750,000 Californians will be impacted by the termination of the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC) programs.  https://www.edd.ca.gov/About_EDD/pdf/news-20-65.pdf  EDD is also sharing information about other resources that are available to assist individuals needing additional help due to the expiration of these programs, including CalFresh.

  • National Space Council:  The US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross spoke at the eighth meeting of the National Space Council.  https://www.commerce.gov/news/speeches/2020/12/remarks-commerce-secretary-wilbur-ross-eighth-meeting-national-space-council  In addition to recognizing SpaceX’s 100th successful commercial Falcon 9 rocket launch and noting other commercial space flight accomplishments, the Secretary noted how the Administration’s pro-space agenda and the work of the National Space Council to remove regulatory obstacles have helped to foster the US’s dynamic aerospace industry sector.  A transcript of the speech is available through the web link.

OPENING OF THE 2021-22 LEGISLATIVE SESSION

  • Opening of 2021-22 Legislative Session:  On December 7, 2020, the Senate and the Assembly met and convened the 2021-22 legislative session. 

    • Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins, in her opening remarks, said that “the Senate would continue to focus on COVID-19 prevention and response, economic relief and recovery, and chronic challenges facing California that have been made worse by the pandemic.”   www.senate.ca.gov/Atkins    

    • Speaker Anthony Rendon announced he is appointing Assemblymember Eloise Reyes as Assembly Majority Leader for the 2021-22 Session.

    • Assembly Speaker Rendon, in his opening remarks, stated the “success in the coming session will depend on that collaboration, but it will also take a focus on some key issues.  One of those is police decertification.  This is a continuation of our drive to make public safety in California truly about the safety of the public, not that of any special interest…  California also must build on the work that we are doing on climate change…  This is something made even more urgent by another record-breaking year of wildfire…  There is something else California needs to model.  That is environmental justice…  As we legislate to move to a cleaner economy, we need to ensure that economic inequality does not grow.  California cannot put the brakes on carbon-generating industries without having a strategy to support the Californians working in those industries.  Likewise, we need to guarantee that the people of lower-income districts like mine are beneficiaries of California's investments in sustainable solutions.”  https://speaker.asmdc.org/press-releases/speaker-rendons-2021-22-organizational-session-remarks-written

  • Resolutions Organizing the Assembly and the Senate:  The Assembly introduced and approved HRs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.   The Senate introduced SRs 1, 2, 3,  https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov ]
