CCSB Provides Update on Executive Order N-6-22 Regarding Russian Sanctions

CCSB provided the following communication regarding Governor Gavin Newsom's Executive Order N-6-22.

On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (EO) regarding sanctions in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The EO is located at https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/3.4.22-Russia-Ukraine-Executive-Order.pdf.

The EO directs Covered California to take certain immediate steps, including notifying all contractors and grantees of their obligations to comply with existing economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. government in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine, as well as any sanctions imposed under state law. 

This correspondence serves as a notice under the EO that as a contractor or grantee, compliance with the economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine is required, including with respect to, but not limited to, the federal executive orders identified in the EO and the sanctions identified on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website (https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions). Failure to comply may result in the termination of contracts or grants, as applicable. 

If you believe that you may have violated any current federal Executive Order regarding economic sanctions imposed on Russia, please immediately contact CCSB's Business Services Branch at BusinessServices@covered.ca.gov. Please note, you will receive this notice for each contract that CCSB has on file for your company.
