4) Any local ordinance, including those relating to noise limitations, is suspended to the extent it restricts, delays, or otherwise inhibits the delivery of food products, pharmaceuticals, and other emergency necessities distributed through grocery stores and other retail or institutional channels, including, but not limited to, hospitals, jails, restaurants, and schools.... 11) The time for presenting a claim pursuant to Government Code section 911, et seq., is hereby extended by 60 days. The time within which the Department of General Services may act upon such claim is extended by 60 days.
Enforcement
Gov't Code sec. 8571 suspension; Gov't Code sec. 8665
Notes
Retitled after reading: the order is a deadline-extension and local-ordinance-suspension instrument, not a Public Records Act order. Its relevance to this cluster is the 60-day delay of claims and agency actions and the Brown Act relaxation for public bodies.
