No additional details were provided by the office, citing security concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Newsom decided to take a trip during a busy time at the Capitol. State lawmakers are expected to pass <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/housing\/2022\/03\/california-eviction-protections-deal\/\">a bill last minute that would extend eviction protections,<\/a> which will expire at midnight. The bill would extend the protections until June 30 for Californians applying for funds from the <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/housing\/2022\/03\/california-rent-relief-wait\/\">State&#8217;s COVID rent relief program which has been backlogged with applicants<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Newsom gone for nearly two weeks, this all falls onto the Lieutenant Governor, Eleni Kounalakis, who will be serving as acting Governor during his absence. Newsom will be back before the Legislature returns from recess, which runs from April 7-18.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">March 31 is also C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Day. <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/projects\/united-farm-workers-union\/\">The Union group Ch\u00e1vez founded, United Farm Workers,<\/a> called on Newsom to recognize the state holiday and meet to discuss a bill that would give farmworkers an option to vote by mail in union elections.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Union members are expected to hold rallies in 13 cities across the State to urge Newsom to meet with them. The president of the Union,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fresnobee.com\/vida-en-el-valle\/noticias\/california-es\/article259758475.html\"> Teresa Romero<\/a>, said, &#8220;C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez&#8217;s life was all about helping farmworkers win respect and be treated as important human beings. It is disappointing that Gavin Newsom won&#8217;t show them the same respect by meeting with elected farmworker leaders on C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez&#8217;s birthday.&#8221; Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/explainers\/california-legislature-bills-passed-2021\/#bda45d75-f045-4175-8c11-a3ad58d8f6f1\">Newsom vetoed a similar measure<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/newsletters\/whatmatters\/2021\/09\/california-workers-rights-newsom\/\">angered union members<\/a>.
