Ways to reach them

Its AI responsibilities

Implementation and enforcement of SB 53, SB 813 and AB 1405; ADMT regulation; FEHA automated-decision rules.

Current business

Executive Order N-9-26 (18 Sep 2026) — directs GovOps, with Cal OES, to convene national experts and deliver recommendations within two months on onsite audits of frontier labs, independent verification of safety frameworks, an emergency shutoff mechanism, and an expanded definition of critical safety incidents to cover loss-of-control scenarios.

Status

VERIFIED — EO issued 18 Sep 2026; recommendations due approximately Nov 2026.

Public route

Expert convening under EO N-9-26 is not a public hearing, but CPPA rulemaking is subject to full APA public comment, and the Joint California Policy Working Group on AI Frontier Models took public input. Watch cppa.ca.gov for comment windows.

Agency route

https://oag.ca.gov/report (AG consumer/civil-rights complaints); CPPA complaints via cppa.ca.gov; California Civil Rights Department for employment AI discrimination.

Research note

Not a legislative committee — included because EO N-9-26 is the live implementation vehicle for California frontier-AI oversight and the comment windows are the practical participation route between sessions.
