AB 944: State government: emergency services: nonprofit service providers.

The bill would allow nonprofit entities that provide services under contracts with state agencies to modify their services during a state of emergency or war emergency, as long as the purpose of the contract is served. The nonprofit entities must notify state agencies of any closures or impacted programs and provide documentation to justify expenses and support continued state funding. State agencies must ensure that funding is available to pay for canceled services, closed programs, or reduced service levels. In cases where a state of emergency or war emergency is not declared, nonprofit entities can submit written requests to state agencies for flexibility with respect to services and funding.
