California Governor Gavin Newsom just vetoed a bill which would have limited a governor’s (his) emergency powers during a state of emergency, to the specific issues of the emergency, and specifies that the Governor may only suspend a statute or regulation during a state of emergency in connection with the specific conditions of that emergency.

CA Democrats: "You can only use emergency powers relevant to the actual emergency, and not just do whatever you want"

Newsom: I AM THE SENATE!

Gov. Newsom not only still holds his March 4, 2020 State of Emergency powers, he issued more than 500 orders, modifying dozens of laws and regulations spanning most divisions of the California codes, Seyarto said. “While most of these executive actions have been rescinded, the effects on education, employment, and the economy are still extensive.”

It's funny. he never ended the emergency.

The California Supreme Court passed a bunch of COVID procedural rules, and originally set them to sunset based on Newsom lifting the emergency: "This rule will remain in effect until 90 days after the Governor declares that the 39 state of emergency related to the COVID-19 pandemic is lifted"

When it started to look like that wasn't going to happen, the Court said "fuck it" and just manually rescinded all of their rule changes. lol.
