Governor of California — executive orders and press releases

1 item

The California governor's newsroom, which publishes the signed text of every executive order as a PDF next to the press release. Primary for what an order actually directs, because the release summarises and the order sets the deadlines. Cite the order number and the signed PDF, not the summary: the release says "within two months" where the order names a date.

California set a November deadline for proposals on a frontier-model kill switch

Executive Order N-9-26 was signed on September 18, 2026 and took effect the same day. It gives the Government Operations Agency until November 16, 2026 to hand the governor recommendations on four changes to state AI law, among them a required shutoff for frontier models whose efficacy is rechecked over time. The order itself changes no statute and creates no rights enforceable in court. Its product is a date and a list.
