SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 20-068, A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, CONCERNING PUBLICATION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S EMERGENCY ORDERS AND LAWS RESTRICTING RESIDENTIAL EVICTIONS IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) STATE OF EMERGENCY (CITY COUNCIL)

Executive Order N-37-20, issued on March 27, 2020, imposed a statewide moratorium on residential evictions related to COVID-19, effective through May 31, 2020.
