State government: emergency services: nonprofit service providers.

Assembly Member Macedo's proposal establishes protocols for nonprofit organizations to modify their state-contracted services during declared emergencies. The legislation outlines procedures for nonprofits to adjust service delivery methods while maintaining contract purposes and introduces documentation requirements for program closures and expenditures.

Under the measure, nonprofits must notify state agencies about program closures or impacts, specifying whether closures are location-specific or executive order-driven. The bill details financial documentation requirements, mandating that nonprofits track all closure-related expenditures and maintain records justifying continued state funding. Fixed costs continue normal payment schedules, and hourly employees receive anticipated wages during closures, while unused expense allocations must be identified and excluded from invoicing.

For situations without declared emergencies, the bill creates a pathway for nonprofits to request service and funding adjustments from state agencies. These requests require written documentation of circumstances, with state agencies authorized to approve modifications based on the presented conditions. State agencies must ensure funding availability for canceled services, closed programs, or reduced service levels upon receiving closure notifications from contracted nonprofits.
