§ 65029 Office Name Change Transition

Key Takeaways

  • •Starting July 1, 2024, the 'Governor’s Office of Planning and Research' in California laws will be called the 'Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation'.
  • •Even though the name changes, the office can still use the old name for money, grants, and contracts until 2029.
  • •The new name should be used as soon as possible, but using the old name won’t make any contracts or agreements invalid.

Example

Imagine a school project where the teacher changes the group name from 'Science Explorers' to 'Earth Protectors'.

Even though the name changes, the group can still finish their old projects with the old name for a few more years. But they should start using the new name as soon as they can.

§ 65029 Office Name Change Transition

Commencing on July 1, 2024, all references to the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research throughout the published laws of the State of California shall henceforth be deemed to be references to the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation, except as referenced in the act adding this section amending the codes otherwise. Notwithstanding this provision, and other provisions of the act adding this section, the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation may continue to receive funds and operate grants and contracts under the name Governor’s Office of Planning and Research through 2029. To the extent feasible, the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation shall commence use of that name as soon as the act adding this section becomes operative, but no contract, grant, or other agreement shall be void or unenforceable simply because the name the Governor’s Office of Planning and Research is utilized. (Added by Stats. 2024, Ch. 41, Sec. 43. (SB 164) Effective June 29, 2024.)
