COSTA MESA, Calif.—The Orange County Board of Education filed new legal action July 6 in a renewed effort to end Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 state of emergency, which was enacted more than two years ago in March 2020.
The board, along with child health advocacy group Children’s Health Defense, filed an amended motion to its existing November lawsuit against Newsom’s state of emergency. The motion will be heard by Orange County Superior Court Judge Theodore Howard on Aug. 11, according to board officials.
