GOOD MORNING.
WILL CALL TO ORDER WELL I CAN'T
NOW CALLED ORDERED AS HEARING OF
THE LABOR AND AUSTRALASIA'S
COMMITTEE CURRENTLY WE DO
NOT YET HAVE A QUORUM BUT WE
COULD BEGIN AS A SUBCOMMITTEE.
AND.
WE ARE ALSO WAITING FOR AUTHORS
ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE A BILL.
THAT.
.
I COULD.
RESENT
BECAUSE THERE'S NO OTHER AUTHORS
NORMALLY I GO LAST.
.
CENTER VICE CHAIR.
JUST A COUPLE.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE.
WELCOME TO THE LABOR COMMITTEE
OVERHEARING.
S. B. EIGHT EIGHTY BY OUR.
HONORABLE CHAIRMAN.
PAN.
WE WILL TAKE AS LONG AS.
POSSIBLE BECAUSE.
OKAY THANK YOU THANK YOU CHAIR.
SO I THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME
TO PRESENT S. B. EIGHT NINETY
NINE A BILL THAT SEEKS TO STRIKE
DOWN A RECENT COURT DECISION
THAT ALLOWS FOR REDUCTION OF
WORKERS COMPENSATION BENEFITS
DUE TO GENETICS.
FIRST I WANT TO.
SAY THAT I'LL BE TAKING
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS LISTENED
ANALYSIS AND IT.
OFFICIALLY BECOME.
AUTHOR OF THIS BILL AT THE
REQUEST OF THE YEAH. PAST CHAIR
OF THE COMMITTEE CENTER BRADFORD
PA THE PRACTICE OF APPORTIONMENT
REDUCTION OF WORKERS
COMPENSATION BENEFITS DUE TO NOT
INDUSTRIAL FACTORS HAS BEEN A
PART OF OUR WORKERS COMPENSATION
SYSTEM SINCE TWO THOUSAND FIVE.
HOWEVER IT DOES CONTINUE TO BE
AN AREA OF LITIGATION DISPUTE
AND A TWENTY FOURTEENTH THE.
W. C. A. B. RULED THAT THE
PORTION IT ON THE BASIS OF
GENETICS WAS NOT PERMITTED.
YET LATE LAST YEAR TO COURT
APPEALS RULED IN THE CITY OF
JACKSON THAT PERMANENT
DISABILITY BENEFITS COULD BE
REDUCED ON THE BASIS OF GENETICS
AND HERBAL CHARACTERISTICS.
THE COURT BELIEVE THAT THIS
REALLY WAS IN KEEPING WITH ABOUT
TO FIFTEEN YEARS A PRECEDENCE
HOWEVER IS NOTED IN THE BILL
ANALYSIS SEE JACKSON WAS IN
ACTUALITY IT'S SHARP DEPARTURE
FROM EXISTING PRESIDENT AND
UPENDED APPORTIONMENT FOR ALL
INJURED WORKERS.
FIRST CITY OF JACKSON WEAKENED
THE LONGSTANDING CASE LAW AND
UNDERMINES THE PLANE READING OF
EXISTING LAW BY SUBSTITUTING
CAUSATION TO A SPECIFIC
INDIVIDUAL.
THE CORRELATION TO A LARGE
POSSIBLY NOT REPRESENTED
POPULATION SECOND SEED JACKSON
VERY LIKELY MISSTATES THE ACTUAL
RESEARCH AT SITES TO SALVAGE THE
COALITION FIRST PLACE.
MILEY CITY JACKSON OPENS THE
DOOR TO AUTOMATICALLY REDUCING
PERMIT DISABILITY BENEFITS FOR
INJURED WORKERS SOLELY ON THE
BASIS OF A STATISTICAL
CORRELATION BETWEEN THE WORKER.
AND HIS OR HER GENETICS
AS POINTED OUT IN ANALYSIS THE
CITY OF JACKSON APPLIES TO AN
INJURED WORKER WITH THE GENERAL.
DISK DISEASE HOW THIS LOGIC CAN
BE USED TO APPLY TO OTHER
INJURIES SQUARED PORTED. A
GENETIC CORRELATION IS BY RACE
RELIGION FOR EXAMPLE AFTER
AMERICANS HAVE A HIGHER
INCIDENCE RATE F. HYPERTENSION
LATINOS HAVE HER PARENTS IT RATE
OF DIABETES TOLD OF HOLOCAUST
SURVIVORS HAVE BEEN FOUND THAT
HIGHER IN INCIDENTS OF ANXIETY
ALL THREE CAN BE INDUSTRIAL
INJURIES AS WELL.
AND FRANKLY ARE WE COMFORTABLE
WITH.
AFTER AMERICAN LATINO INJURED
WORKERS RECEIVING LOWER
PERMANENT DISABILITY BENEFITS
THAT AGE ARE CAUCASIAN INJURED
WORKER FOR THE EXACT SAME
INJURY.
WHEN IT'S NOT BASED ON THEIR OWN
SPECIFIC CHARACTERS JUST BECAUSE
THEY ARE MEMBER OF THAT.
RACE OR ETHNICITY.
AND SO I BELIEVE THE ANSWER TO
THIS QUESTION IS NO AND SP EIGHT
NINE NINE WILL STOP
APPORTIONMENT BASED I SLOPPY
CORRELATIONS AND. BY ABROGATING
CITY OF JACKSON
AND ADDITIONALLY S. B. EIGHT
NINE NINE PROVIDE STRONG INTENT
LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO PRIOR
PRESIDENTS TO PROHIBIT PRO
APARTMENT IN THE BASIC GENETICS.
NOT THE BILL CURRY HAS NO
FORMAL OPPOSITION AND THAT
CERTAINLY I AM.
YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH ANYONE WHO
ASKS THAT CONSERVE ANY
STAKEHOLDERS HAVE CONCERNS I
JUST ONE RETURN ENFORCEMENT BACK
TO THE LEGAL BASIS IT ALWAYS
STOOD ON INDIVIDUAL CAUSATION.
FREE OF A SPURIOUS CORRELATION
BASED ON.
OTHER IMMUTABLE CHARACTERISTICS
EYES LIKELY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU CENTER YOUR FIRST
WITNESS.
MISTER CHAIRMAN. SENATOR PAN

CHARACTERISTICS MAY OR MAY NOT.

PARTICULAR CASE AND IT'S AND
IT'S IT'S BASED ON YOU HAVING.
BEEN.
ON INJURED PREVIOUSLY KNOW THE
WORDS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO YOU AS
OPPOSED TO BE PROJECTED ABOUT

MISS CHEN MEMBERS CALIFORNIA
PORTS OR AS WE KNOW OUR
POWERHOUSE.
I DRIVING OR ECONOMY IN
CONNECTING US TO THE WORLD MORE
THAN FORTY PERCENT OF ALL
SHIPPING CONTAINER TRAFFIC FLOWS
THROUGH THE PORTS OF AL EIGHT
LONG BEACH AND OAKLAND.
MORE THAN A DECADE OF COURT
RULINGS MEDIA STORIES AND
INDEPENDENT REPORTS HAVE
REVEALED RAMPANT LABOR
VIOLATIONS IN THE PORT TRUCK
TRUCKING INDUSTRY.
REPORTING BY USA TODAY REVEALED
THAT SOME TRUCK DRIVERS END UP
OWING SO MUCH MONEY TO THE
COMPANY THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY
WORKING FOR FREE.
AND SOMETIMES EVEN GET NEGATIVE
PAYCHECKS
THE STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER HAS
WON MORE THAN FORTY FIVE MILLION
AND JUDGMENTS
FOR MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED
DRIVERS. NO HIGHER COURT HAS
EVER OVERTURNED ANY OF THESE
AWARDS ON APPEAL YET THESE
JUDGMENTS READY MATERIALIZE AND
WORKERS ARE RARELY MADE WHOLE.
S. B..
FOURTEEN LOOK TO WILL CLEAN UP
OUR PORT TRUCKING INDUSTRY ONCE
AND FOR OUR. I SP FOURTEEN WILL

FOURTEEN WILL TO ALLOW
CALIFORNIA TO HOLD RETAIL
COMPANIES AND SHIPPERS LIABLE
ONLY WHEN THEY HIRE TRUCKING
COMPANIES ON THIS LIST.
AB CLEAR S. B. FOURTEEN OR TWO

ALRIGHT I WITNESSES A SUPPORT.
GOOD MORNING DISTINGUISHED
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND MY NAME IS
JEFF CAROLINE IS PRESIDENT. OF
THE AMERICAS FOR TOLD GLOBAL
LOGISTICS.
AND I'M HERE TO OFFER MY SUPPORT
FOR S. B. FORTINO TO INTRODUCED
BY SENATOR RICARDO LARA.
SO TOLL OPERATES A COMPREHENSIVE
GLOBAL LOGISTICS NETWORK ACROSS
TWELVE HUNDRED LOCATIONS
IN MORE THAN FIFTY COUNTRIES.
WERE LEADING PROVIDER OF
INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN
SOLUTIONS TO THE NORTH AMERICAN
MARKET. WE HAVE OVER FORTY
THOUSAND EMPLOYEES WORLDWIDE WHO
PROVIDE A DIVERSE RANGE OF
TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS
SOLUTIONS COVERING ROAD. AIR SEA
AND RAIL TO HELP OUR CUSTOMERS
BEST MEET THEIR GLOBAL SUPPLY
CHAIN NEEDS.
TOLL IS HIGHLY EXPERIENCED IN
DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING
EFFECTIVE FLEXIBLE AND
STREAMLINED SUPPLY CHAIN
SOLUTIONS FOR AN EXTREMELY
DIVERSE RANGE OF CUSTOMERS
INCLUDING FASHION. ACTION SPORTS
OIL AND GAS MINING TECHNOLOGY
PHARMACEUTICALS INDUSTRIAL AND
AUTOMOTIVE.
ARE PARA COMPANIES JAPAN POST
WHICH RANKS AS THE WORLD'S FORTY
FIFTH LARGEST PUBLIC CORPORATION
WITH A MARKET CAP. OF OVER FIFTY
FIVE BILLION AND OVER TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
EMPLOYEES.
AROUND THE GLOBE TOLL RECOGNIZES
OUR MOST VALUABLE ASSET IS OUR
EMPLOYEES AND WE TAKE THE SAME
APPROACH HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
OUR SUCCESS IN DELIVERING
EXCELLENT SERVICE TO OUR
CUSTOMERS NOT ONLY DEPENDS ON
HOW WE TREAT OUR PEOPLE. BUT HOW
WE IMPACT TO COMMUNITIES WE WORK
AND AND THE PLANET WE INHABIT.
THEREFORE WE ARE COMMITTED TO
CREATING SUSTAINABLE VALUE IN
THE MOVEMENT OF GOODS THROUGH
HIGHLY ETHICAL AND SOCIALLY
RESPONSIBLE STANDARDS. FOR
MANAGING OUR BUSINESS.
WE'VE OPERATED IN THE PORT
TRUCKING MARKET AT THE PORTS OF
LOS ANGELES AND LONG BEACH FOR
OVER TEN YEARS.
CURRENTLY WE EMPLOY EIGHTY
DRIVERS BUT WE STRIVE TO
SIGNIFICANTLY GROW OUR BUSINESS
AND WE ARE WILLING TO INVEST TO
SUPPORT OUR CUSTOMERS GROWTH
PLANS.
CONSISTENT WITH OUR CORPORATE
VALUES WE OPERATE AN ASSET BASED
BUSINESS MODEL. WITH EMPLOYEE
DRIVERS IMPORT STRETCH.
WE HAVE ALSO ADOPTED A SET OF
CORPORATE PRINCIPLES THAT
INCLUDES WORKING COOPERATIVELY
WITH LABOR UNIONS IN THE
COUNTRIES WHERE WE OPERATE.
IN THE UNITED STATES WE'VE
DEVELOPED A CONSTRUCTIVE
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEAMSTERS.
THE DRAINAGE MARKET IS EXTREMELY
COMPETITIVE AS THERE AN
ESTIMATED EIGHT HUNDRED TRUCKING
COMPANIES OPERATING AT THE LA
LONG BEACH PORTS.
MAKING IT A CHALLENGING
ENVIRONMENT UNDER NORMAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.
THE COMPETITIVE CHALLENGES WE
FACE ARE MADE EVEN MORE
DIFFICULT WHEN TOLL MUST COMPETE
WITH A VAST ARRAY OF TRUCKING
COMPANIES THAT DO NOT ABIDE BY
THE SAME RULES.
UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS THAT MANY
OF THE COMPANIES WE COMPETE
AGAINST OPERATE UNDER AN
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR BUSINESS
MODEL THAT RUNS AFOUL OF
CALIFORNIA LABOR LAWS. RESULTING
IN UNACCEPTABLE WORKING
CONDITIONS FOR MANY POOR DRIVERS
WHO CANNOT EARN A LIVING WAGE.
IT IS DISHEARTENING THAT THERE
SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS
FOR THE DRAINAGE INDUSTRY TO
ACHIEVING COMPLIANCE FOR
CALIFORNIA'S LABOR LAWS.
IT AT TOLL WE DO NOT MISS
CROSSFIRE DRIVERS.
WE OPERATE WITHIN THE CONFINES
OF CALIFORNIA LAW.
WHAT TOLL ANOTHER COMPANIES
WITHIN NASA BASED MODEL EMPLOYEE
DRIVERS IN THAT REGION HISTORY
WANT?
AND WHAT THE MARKETS WANT IS A
FAIR AND LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
WHERE THE RULES ARE CLEARLY
ELUCIDATED.
WHERE THE REFEREES ARE COMPETENT
AND WHERE WE KNOW THAT THE GAME
IS NOT RIGHT?
THE PLAYING FIELD AND THE DREDGE
INDUSTRY IS CURRENTLY OPERATING
ON A DISTORTED SLOPE WHERE
COMPANIES LIKE TOWER AT THE
LOWER END STRUGGLING TO COMPETE
AGAINST ARTIFICIALLY LOW LABOR
COSTS.
IN SPITE OF BEST EFFORTS.
THE STATE CANNOT ENFORCE THE
CURRENT REGULATORY SCHEME
THIS LACK OF ENFORCEMENT EFFECT
GRANTS IN ILLEGAL SUBSIDY TO
COMPANIES THAT OPERATE OUTSIDE
OF THE LAW. AND RELEVANT COURT
DECISIONS.
THIS INTERVIEW IS NOT A
SUSTAINABLE PROPOSITION.
SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND TEN AT
LEAST ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED
FIFTY PORTS TRUCK DRIVERS HAVE
FILED CLAIMS IN CIVIL COURT OR
WITH THE LABOR COMMISSION
AGAINST THE TRUCKING COMPANIES.
THE CALIFORNIA LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE HAS
AWARDED OVER FOUR HUNDRED TRUCK
DRIVERS OR FORTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS IN BACK PAY AFTER RULING
THAT THE DRIVERS HAVE BEEN
IMPROPERLY CLASSIFIED.
AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.
NO HIGHER COURT HAS OVERRULED.
ANY OF THOSE AWARDS APPEALED BY
THE TRUCKING COMPANIES.
THERE'S LABOR INSTABILITY IN THE
PORTS IN THE FORM OF CLASS
ACTION LAWSUITS INFREQUENT WORK
STOPPAGES DUE TO THE FACT THAT
HUNDREDS OF COMPANIES.
ARE CONTINUING TO OPERATE
ILLEGITIMATELY IN THE DREDGE
MARKETPLACE.
I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK THE
STATE TO ADOPT LEGISLATION WHICH
CREATES A BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
IN THE DRAINAGE INDUSTRY.
CHARACTERIZED BY LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD WHICH ALLOWS ETHICAL
COMPANIES SUCH AS TOLD TO
COMPETE EFFECTIVELY IN THE PORTS
OF CALIFORNIA.
IN ORDER TO CREATE A
DISINCENTIVE FOR TRUCKING
COMPANIES TO COME INTO FULL
COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA'S
LABOR LAWS. IN APPROVED
COMPETITION THAT RAGE MARKET I
WOULD LIKE TO STATE THAT TOLL IS
IN SUPPORT OF SB ONE FOUR ZERO
TWO BY SENATOR RICARDO LARA.
THANK YOU THOSE OF MARKET WEEK

IT
MIGHT. THINK THERE WAS A GUY
SAYS THAT.
OTHER WITNESSES YET WHAT MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS GARY
BROUGHT ON BEHALF OF THE
TEAMSTERS AWARE THE SPONSORS OF
THE BILL. ON ON.
IN THE INTEREST OF TIME I JUST
MAKE UP A COUPLE OF VERY BASIC
POINTS.
FIRST OF ALL WE'RE WORKING WITH
THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY. THE
OPPONENTS OF THE BILL TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS BILL IS TOTALLY
FAIR TO ANY TRUCKING COMPANY
THAT THEY'RE NOT PUT ON THE LIST
UNLESS THEY DESERVE TO BE PUT ON
THE LIST. WHERE THERE IS A FINAL
JUDGMENT THAT IS UNSATISFIED?
AND THEY'VE HAD EVERY
OPPORTUNITY TO SATISFY THAT
JUDGMENT AND THEY GO ON THE
LIST.
AND THEY CAN'T GET THEMSELVES
OFF THE LIST BY SATISFYING THE
JUDGMENT.
NO.
SHIPPER SHOULD EVER FACED JOINT
LIABILITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
CHOICE WHETHER TO HIRE SOMEONE
ON THE LIST AND THEN EVEN IF
THEY DO HIRE SOMEONE ON THE
LIST.
THERE ISN'T JOINT LIABILITY.
UNTIL THERE IS AN.
SOME KIND OF.
I'M PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS IT IN
THE FUTURE WITH THE DRIVERS THAT
ARE HAULING.
FOR THEM SO THEY HAVE NOTICED
THAT THIS MOTOR CARRIER IS A
PROBLEMATIC MOTOR CARRIER THEY
THEY HIRE THEM NOTWITHSTANDING
THAT.
IN NOT WITHSTANDING THEIR POWER
TO CONTROL THAT RELATIONSHIP AND
THEN THEY GO AND CHEAT THEIR
DRIVERS.
ON
THE REAL FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM AT
THE PORT ISSUE HAVE THOUSANDS
AND THOUSANDS OF WORKERS WHO ARE
NEED TO GO INTO BUSINESS FOR
THEMSELVES AGAINST THEIR OWN
WILL.
AND THE ONE THING ABOUT AMERICA
GREAT GOING TO DISTANCE YOURSELF
STARTED TRUCKING COMPANY BUT
NOBODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE
YOU START A TRUCKING COMPANY.
FOR THAT ESSENTIAL SOLE PURPOSE
THAT. IF YOU DO YOU DON'T HAVE
TO MAKE SOCIAL SECURITY
CONTRIBUTIONS YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BY WORKERS COMP YOU DON'T HAVE
TO HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF
THE TRUCKS.
WHICH YOU LEASE BACK TO THEM.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW AIR
POLLUTION PROBLEMS YOU DON'T
EVEN HAVE TO HAVE A YARD TO
STORE THEM BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE
THE DRIVERS DRIVE. AND CAN PARK
THEIR TRUCKS IN THEIR FRONT
YARDS IN THEIR STREETS IN THE
COMMUNITIES THEY LIVE. IT'S IT'S
COMPETITION THAT'S A DESTRUCTIVE
AND THAT'S WHY. YOU HEAR
SOMETHING QUITE EXTRAORDINARY IN
MY EXPERIENCE I THINK IT IN
YOURS.
ON EMPLOYER SHOWING UP HERE.
IN IT UP BUT IN A COMMITTEE.
LIKE THIS IN A BILL LIKE THIS TO
SAY WEENIES US BUT THE COMPANIES
THAT ARE WILLING TO ABIDE BY THE
LAW.
WE NEED TO HAVE A LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD WHERE THERE SIMPLY IS NOT
AN ILLEGAL
MARKET SO. THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT BILL AND WE URGE AN
AYE VOTE THANK.
THANK YOU.

FIRST OFF I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT

WE UNDERSTAND THE AUTHOR'S
INTENT.
AND WHILE THERE ARE SOME BAD

HIGHLY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT.

QUESTION ESSENTIALLY USES A
PREVIOUS DECISION AND DOESN'T
EVEN CHANGED THE COMPANY NAME.
TO THE CURRENT ONE.
THIS PROCESS IS FUNDAMENTALLY
FLAWED AND SHOULD NOT PROVIDE
THE BASIS TO ASSIGN JOINT
LIABILITY REPORT DRAINAGE
CUSTOMERS.
ALSO THE DLC LIST.
PROPOSED BY THIS BILL WILL
LITERALLY PUT COMPANIES OUT OF
BUSINESS.
AND THE BILL'S CURRENT FORM.
YOU CAN BE POSTED ON THIS LIST
DESPITE HAVING LEGAL AVENUES OF

CURRENTLY THERE IS NO PROCESS
FOR GETTING OFFICE.
THERE IS NO PROTECTION FOR
COMPANIES WHO ARE MISTAKENLY
PLACED ON THE LIST AND.
EXPERIENCE WHATMAYBE HARM THE
CANNOT RECOVER FROM.
WE HOPE TO CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE

FIND A REASON PATH FORWARD.
THANK YOU.

FUNDAMENTAL I DON'T THINK
THERE'S.
ANY EXCUSE WHY THAT SHOULDN'T
HAPPEN OTHER THAN WHEN THE
CREATIVE MIND GETS.
GOING IN SAYS WE'RE GONNA.
SQUEEZE EVERY DOLLAR EVERY
MINUTE OF SOMEONE'S TIME WITHOUT
PROPER COMPENSATION BECAUSE WE
CAN BE SO CLEVER.
AND SO I SEE THIS BILL A IF I
UNDERSTAND IT CORRECTLY MISTER
BROUGHTON ALISON THIS IS.
IS ACCURATE IF THAT THE BILL
DOES WHAT WHAT HE HAS
REPRESENTED.
BASICALLY IF YOU'RE A GOOD ACTOR
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE HAVING A
PROBLEM YOU'VE GOTTA HAVE A
JUDGMENT AGAINST YOU.
THAT HASN'T BEEN SATISFIED.
A AND EVEN THEN YOU CAN GO
FORWARD IS A COMPANY.
DISARMS YOU DON'T BASICALLY DO
THE SAME THING.
OF THAT FOR WHICH THIS JUDGMENT
HAS BEEN ENTERED SO I THINK
THIS.
THE NOTION THIS IS GONNA PUNISH
THE GOOD ACTORS I JUST THINK IS.
AT LEAST FROM WHAT I SEE IS JUST
NOT.
NOT WITHIN THE REALM OF.
POSSIBLE HERE AND I APPRECIATE
THAT THE SENATORS TAKEN STEPS
TO.
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE
A GOOD ACTORS WHO ARE.
PUNISHED AND IT PROBABLY IS THE
MINORITY OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT
BEHAVING APPROPRIATELY BUT. YOU
KNOW IT TO.
.
TO USE FOLKS LIKE THIS WHO ARE
REALLY TRYING HARD.
ACCORDING THE FAMILIES DOING THE
BEST THEY CAN.
A TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEM LIKE
THIS I JUST THINK IS SO.
CONTRARY TO. WHAT OUR
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE HERE AND
WHAT I THINK PEOPLE CALIFORNIA
EXPECTED ME TWENTY WORK CARD YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR
FAMILY?
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE
WERE LACI WENT UP PEOPLE A TIME
OF PEOPLE TRYING TO. BREAK THE
RULES
SO ARE I WANNA MOVE THE BILL AND
AND.
I WILL LOOK FORWARD TO.
SAYING THIS OF BECOME THE LAW TO
PROTECT HARD WORKING PEOPLE AND
I AND I BELIEVE MOST BUSINESSES.
WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND
IF ANY OF THEM HAVE STRAYED
BECAUSE.
OF THE TEMPTATIONS OF
MAXIMIZING THEIR PROFIT ON THE
BACKS OF THE PEOPLE TO DO THE
WORK FOR THEM.
.
UNFAIRLY A THAT THEY WILL.
FIND RELIGION HERE IN THAT WE
CAN ALL PROFIT FROM EVERYBODY'S
HARD WORK IS AS A COMMUNITY
COMING TOGETHER AND.
AND IF THERE ARE ANY
INADEQUACIES IN THE LAW AYE I
HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT SENATOR
LARA WILL ADDRESSES CHRISTMAS IS
JUST A QUESTION. I THINK OF
LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD
SOUNDS LIKE IT'S BEEN TERRIBLY
SKEWED BY.
WHAT THE TESTIMONY HAS BEEN
HERE TODAY SO?
A I WANT TO THANK THE SENATOR TO
AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE HARD
WORKING PEOPLE OVER HERE. YOU
KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BECOME
MILLIONAIRES DOING WHAT YOU DO
BUT. YOU DON'T DO IT FOR THAT
REASON YOU DO JUST BECAUSE YOU
WANT TO HELP SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY
AND I THINK THAT.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE VALUES
ARE THAT WE WANT TO PROMOTE HERE
IN THE STATES WITHOUT I'D MOVE
THE BILL.
OKAY SO THE BILL'S BEING MOVED
BY SIR JACKSON TO ANY OTHER.
ACTIONS.
SO ACTUALLY I I DID HAVE A
QUESTION.
MR RAHMAN I THINK FROM THE
TRUCKING ASSOCIATION.
COME BACK.
SO FIRST OF ALL I'D SAY I
UNDERSTAND THAT FRACKING OF
ENRON.
WE ARE CLICK CLARIFYING
QUESTIONS ABOUT ON AND OFF THE
LISTEN SUPPORT SO I THINK THAT
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A VERY
SOLVABLE PROBLEMS.
I GUESS THE THING WAS OF THOSE
STRUCK BY IS THAT YOUR TESTIMONY
Y. CLARIFY THIS IS THAT.
THE DE ELLA SEE HAS ACTUALLY
MADE RULINGS.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE LSE IS
NOT ACTING APPROPRIATELY AYE I
JUST WASN'T CLEAR BECAUSE SOUND
LIKE WITH I MEAN THAT THAT'S.
I MEAN THAT'S AND SOMETIMES
THAT'S OUTSIDE THE BILL MANY ARE
YOU SAYING THE IN.
SO YOU'RE SAYING THE IN.
PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING FORCE MEANT
THAT ADMINISTRATIVE JUDGES ARE
GOING TO JOBS ARE TO BE UNFAIR
SOMETHING WE'VE HAD AND WE'VE
HAD AN ISSUE WITH THAT DEALER
SEE ABSOLUTE BECAUSE.
THERE BEEN TO OUR FORTY FOUR
CASES TAKEN THERE THROUGH THE
PERMITTING PROCESS.
AND.
IN THAT CASE ALL TO HONOR FORTY
FOUR CASES.
WHEN WITH A COMPLAINT.
UP WE FIND VERY HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT.
THERE WASN'T ONE OF THOSE CASES
THAT WAS LEGITIMATE AND WHERE
THE COMPANY WAS AT WAS IN THE
RIGHT.
AS SO WE WHAT WERE IN MIDDLE LAS
YOU RIGHT NOW GOING THROUGH AND
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT RIGHT
NOW.
ALIGHT WELL I I MEAN I.
YEAH THAT'S SEPARATE THAT'S AT
RESIDES Y. CLARIFY I MEAN.
AND IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
PURSUING YOUR LEGAL REMEDIES BUT
I THINK THAT SEPARATE AND IF.
YOU KNOW. PEELS COURT RULES THAT
THEY HAVE TO CHANGE SOME
PROCEDURE.
S. LOST BASICALLY SAYS THIS BILL
I SHOULD SAY IT'S NOT WHAT IT IS
HE SAYS IF YOU ARE FOUND.
AND.
YOU KNOW AT THIS THEN.
.
BASICALLY THE.
PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT SKIER
EVEN GAZE TO ESPECIALLY IF YOU
HAVEN'T SOLDIER JUDGMENT AND YOU
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT PEOPLE
WHO HAVE BEEN FOUND BY
VIOLATING.
AND WHO HAVEN'T STE CLOSER
CASES
PEOPLE OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT THAT AS LONG AS ALL FINAL
REMEDIES HAVE ARE LOUD THEN.
OKAY ALRIGHT SO SO SO I'D
APPRECIATE THAT BECAUSE ACTUALLY
TO ME THAT'S ARGUMENT FAVOR OF
THIS BILL. SO OKAY WELL I
APPRECIATE THE KIND YOU

CARDS THAT THAT.
IT HAPPENED.

THREE.
AS WELL AS COMMITTEE MEMBER OKAY
AS I'M THEIR FORCED THE ONE ONE
TWO THREE SENATE JACKSON THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN VERSE.
TODAY I PERCENT S. B. ELEVEN
TWENTY THREE WHICH EXPANDS
CALIFORNIA'S EMPLOYEE FUNDED
PAID FAMILY LEAVE PROGRAMS TO
COVER THE OFTEN SUDDEN. AND
PRESSING NEEDS THAT ARISE AS A
RESULT OF HAVING A MILITARY
FAMILY MEMBER DEPLOYED OVERSEAS.
AS THE ANALYSIS NOTES I WILL BE
TAKING THE AUTHORS AMENDMENTS TO
REFLECT.
THAT OR CLARIFIED THAT THIS A
BILL APPLIES TO FOREIGN
DEPLOYMENT SITUATIONS ONLY TO
PARALLEL FEDERAL LAW ON THIS
ISSUE.
WHEN A MEMBER OF THE ARMED
FORCES DEPLOYED OVERSEAS IT
AFFECTS NOT JUST THE SERVICE
MEMBER HIM OR HERSELF BUT THE
ENTIRE FAMILY AS THEY STRUGGLE.
AUNTS OR I SHOULD SAY SCRAMBLED
STRUGGLE AS WELL IN SOME
INSTANCES TO PREPARE FOR THE
SIGNIFICANT TRANSITION. FAMILY
MEMBERS OFTEN NEED TO TAKE CARE
OF FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ISSUES.
SOMETIMES.
EXAMPLE SECURING WILLOWS AND
POWERS OF ATTORNEY AYE IN WHICH
HOUSES NEED TO BE PRESENT FOR
SIGNING DOCUMENTS.
IF SERVICE MEMBERS HAVE BEEN THE
CAREGIVERS FOR THEIR ELDERLY
PARENTS. THEIR SPOUSES MAY NEED
TO TAKE IT A STEP IN AND MAKE
DIFFERENT.
SENIOR CARE ELDER ELDER CARE
ARRANGEMENTS IN ANTICIPATION OF
THEIR ABSENCE
FOR SINGLE PARENTS WHO ARE
DEPLOYED ESPECIALLY IT IS THEIR
PARENTS THEIR GRANDPARENTS. WHO
VERY OFTEN STEPPING IN TO TAKE
CARE OF CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND IN
THE UNITED STATES THESE PARENTS
OF THE SERVICE MEMBERS MAY NEED
TO TAKE TIME OFF? FROM WORK TO
MAKE ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL OR CHILD
CARE DAYCARE ARRANGEMENTS FOR
THEIR GRANDCHILDREN MEET WITH
TEACHERS OR SCHOOL OFFICIALS
AMONG THE NUMEROUS CHALLENGES OF
DAILY LIFE THAT WE EXPERIENCE IN
TODAY'S WORLD.
RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANT
STRESS AND NEEDS THAT ARISE FROM
THESE DEPLOYMENTS SITUATIONS
ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO FEDERAL
FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE THE
FEDERAL FAMILY AND MEDICAL LEAVE
ACT IF NOT KNOWN AS FMLA. WAS
EXPANDED TO ALLOW EMPLOYEES WHO
WORK FOR EMPLOYERS OF FIFTY OR
MORE EMPLOYEES.
OUGHT TO TAKE UP TO TWELVE WEEKS
OF JOB PROTECTED LEAVE TO TAKE
CARE OF THE SPECIFIC KIND OF
NEED ARISING FROM A FAMILY
MEMBER'S DEPLOYMENT. THEY CALL
IT A QUALIFYING EXIGENCY LEAVE
THIS BILL THAT INSURES THAT
THESE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES WHO
RECEIVE THIS JOB PROTECTED LEAVE
CAN ALSO ACCESS CALIFORNIA'S.
PAID FAMILY LEAVE PROGRAM UPON A
PROGRAM THAT THEY ALREADY PAY
INTO.
BUT IT'LL ALLOW THEM TO RECEIVE
PARTIAL WAGE REPLACEMENT DURING
THIS PERIOD OF TIME.
IT DOES ALLOW FOR UP TO SIX
WEEKS OF PARTIAL WAGE
REPLACEMENT OF QUALIFYING
EXIGENCY LEAVE ARISING FROM
OVERSEAS DEPLOYMENT OF A SPOUSE.
DOMESTIC PARTNER PARENT THEIR
CHILD THIS SLEEP DOES NOT COVER
THE NEEDS OF THE SERVICE MEMBERS
THEMSELVES JUST THOSE OFF THEIR
FAMILY SPOUSE PARENTS OR
THEY'RE.
OUT WORKING CHILDREN AND IT'S
NOT LIKELY THIS LEAVE IS GOING
TO BE USED IN A FULL SIX WEEK
PERIOD WE REALLY ANTICIPATE THAT
IT WILL BE MORE INCREMENTAL FOR
EXAMPLE A DAY OR A FEW HOURS
HERE. AND THERE SO THAT THEY CAN
SORT OF TRY TO.
RE NORMALIZE LIFE AFTER THE
DEPLOYMENT OF A LOW POINT FOR
MILITARY FAMILIES THIS DOES MAKE
A CRITICAL DIFFERENCE.
AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SUPPORT OUR MILITARY FAMILIES.
WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE.
WE ASK THEM TO TO TO SERVE
THEIR COUNTRY AND FREQUENTLY
SEND THEM OFF.
TO DEPLOYMENT IN OTHER AREAS OF
THE WORLD.
ON VERY SHORT NOTICE AND SO
THIS IS JUST ONE WAY THAT WE.
THAT WE CAN.
SUPPORT THEIR WORK AYE AND THANK
THEM.
FOR THEIR FOR THEIR SERVICE
APY COMEDY.
IS SO.
MY.
WITNESS HERE TODAY HE SPEAKS ON
BEHALF OF A NUMBER OF VETERANS
ORGANIZATIONS BUT BECAUSE I
JUMPED IN THIS QUICKLY HE HASN'T

Q..
WELCOME FEC.
THANK YOU I KNOW YOU HAD RUN
DOWN THE FACULTY ALLOWING YOU TO
GO BACK AND VOTING EDUCATION
COMMITTEE. I'D LIKE TO THANK THE
CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT AS THE
TWELVE TWENTY THREE. WHICH WILL
REQUIRE THE DIVISION OF LABOR
STANDARDS ENFORCEMENT TO DEVELOP
AN INDUSTRY SPECIFIC HARASSMENT
AND DISCRIMINATION PREVENTION
POLICY.
FOR USE BY EMPLOYERS IN THE
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.
RECENT REVELATIONS UNDERSCORE
THE EXTENT TO WHICH WIDESPREAD
SEXUAL HARASSMENT EXIST WITHIN
VIRTUALLY EVERY INDUSTRY. THESE
INCIDENTS UNDERMINE THE
ACHIEVEMENTS OUR STATE HAS MADE
TOWARDS GENDER EQUITY IN THE
WORKPLACE.
HIGHLY SKILLED AND TRAINED WOMEN
OF THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
CONTRIBUTE GREATLY TO
CALIFORNIA'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND
ECONOMY. HOWEVER DESPITE EFFORTS
TO RECRUIT WOMEN INTO THE
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY WOMEN MAKE
UP JUST THREE PERCENT OF
CALIFORNIA'S TOTAL CONSTRUCTION
WORKFORCE.
AND ONLY TWO POINT FOUR PERCENT
OF THE APPRENTICES ENROLLED IN
THE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM.
S. B. TWELVE TWENTY THREE
ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM BY
ESTABLISHING AN ADVISORY
COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP AN INDUSTRY
SPECIFIC ANTI HARASSMENT AND
DISCRIMINATION POLICY. AND
TRAINING STANDARDS FOR USE BY
CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYERS.
THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
ESTIMATES THAT WOMEN MAKE UP
ONLY ABOUT THREE PERCENT OF THE
APPROXIMATELY SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS SEVEN MILLION
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY JOBS.
NATIONWIDE IT'S FURTHER
ESTIMATED THAT THERE WILL BE
SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND
JOBS TO FILL IN THE CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY BY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR.
DUE TO A RAPIDLY AGING WORKFORCE
EFFORTS TO PROMOTE RECRUITMENT
AND RETENTION OF FEMALE
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS CAN
ACTIVELY ALLEVIATE BOTH OF THESE
PROBLEMS. DIRECTLY ADDRESSING
THE ON GOING HARASSMENT AND
DISCRIMINATION ISSUES ON THE JOB
SITE WILL ENSURE ALL WORKERS ARE
TREATED FAIRLY AND EQUALLY AND
WILL HELP CHANGE THE CULTURE OF
THE INDUSTRY. THE BILL SPONSORED
BY THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES WHO ARE WITH
ME TODAY TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS.
AND CURRENTLY S. B. TWELVE
TWENTY THREE HAS NO OPPOSITION I
RESPECTFULLY ASK ME I'D VOTE
THEY KEEP SAYING AT JENNY
WITNESSES A SPORT. THE MORNING
MY NAME IS DEBORAH CHAPLAIN AND
I'M THE DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL
PROGRAMS FOR THE STATE BUILDING
AND CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL
OF CALIFORNIA.
ONE OF MY MAJOR PROGRAMS WAS TO
ORGANIZE OUR ANNUAL WOMEN
BUILDING CALIFORNIA IN THE
NATION CONFERENCES.
INVENT THAT WENT FROM TWO
HUNDRED TREATS WOMEN TONIO TO
TO.
OVER ELEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIFTEEN.
I WORK CLOSELY WITH WOMEN IN THE
TRADES ACROSS THE STATE IN EACH
CONFERENCE WITH U THE GROUP HOW
MANY OF THEM HAD EVER BEEN THE
ONLY WOMAN ON A JOB SITE. AND
EVERY HAND WOULD BE RAISED
WE KNOW THAT EVEN AFTER YEARS OF
WORK BY TRADE WOMAN
ORGANIZATIONS AND BY
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS TO
RECRUIT MORE WOMEN THE NUMBER IS
STILL VERY LOW AT TWO TO THREE
PERCENT.
OF WOMEN WORKING WITH THE TOOLS.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND
DISCRIMINATION CONSTRUCTION ARE
UNFORTUNATELY STILL VERY REAL
THE TIME IS NOW TO MAKE A PLAN
TO ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA
CONSTRUCTION WORK SITES ARE SAFE
FOR WOMEN. AND THAT WE CAN
RECRUIT MORE WOMEN AND KEEP
WOMEN WORKING.
THERE'S AN ASSEMBLY BILL THAT
WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING PAST
NOW I AB TWENTY THREE FIFTY A.
THAT WILL TRY TO PROVIDE
TRAINING TO APPRENTICES ABOUT
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND
DISCRIMINATION.
THAT'S CLEARLY THE FUTURE.
BUT WE ALSO NEED TO DEAL WITH
THE CULTURE OF CONSTRUCTION WORK
SHOWED WORK SITES OF THE PRESENT
AND THOSE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF JOURNEYMEN WHO WERE OUT ON
JOB ON THE JOB SITE AND NO
LONGER GO TO APPRENTICESHIP.
TO BE HONEST I'M NOT GENERALLY
BIG ON STUDY COMMISSIONS BECAUSE
WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
HOWEVER I'M A BIG SUPPORTER OF
SP TWELVE TWENTY THREE BECAUSE I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN
CREATE A TRAINING REGIMEN THERE
WILL ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED.
AND THAT MEANS GETTING INPUT
FROM A LOT OF STAKEHOLDERS THE
EMPLOYERS WHO ARE MANDATED TO
PUT ON THE TRAINING THE TRADES
WOMAN WHO THEMSELVES TO LEARN
WHAT ISSUES THEY FACE.
THE UNION'S WHO REPRESENT THE
WORKFORCE AND THE STATE AGENCIES
THAT WILL HAVE TO ENFORCE IT.
WE HAD THE BUILDING TRADES WILL
BE ACTIVE ON THIS SP TWELVE
TWENTY THREE COMMISSION TO
ENSURE THAT THE TRAINING IS
COMPREHENSIVE THAT ITS
CONSTRUCTION FOCUSED AND THAT
THERE'S A PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT
IT GETS IMPLEMENTED. NATALIE TO
SUPERVISORS BUT TO RANK AND FILE
WORKERS. NOT ONLY FOR UNION BUT
FOR NON UNION WORKERS AS WELL.
WE WANT MORE WOMEN IN GOOD
PAYING JOBS OF THE BUILDING
TRADES SP TOLD TWENTY THREE IS
THE BUILDING BLOCK THAT WE NEED
TO START ADDRESSING THE ONGOING
HARASSMENT AND DISCRIMINATION
ACT. ISSUES ON THE JOB SITE
ENSURING THAT ALL WORKERS ARE
PAID ARE TREATED. FAIRLY AND
EQUALLY. WE THANK SENATOR
GALGIANI FOR.
AUTHORING THIS BILL AND I ARE
PROUD TO CO SPONSOR THE BILL
WITH TREATS WOMEN INK ALLEN WHO
IS HERE AS WELL AND.
WE URGE YOU TO PASS S. B.
TWELVE TWENTY THREE.

.
MAKE A GOOD NAME FOR HERSELF AND

SITE.
WITH A SCAFFOLD LEADS WITH A
PIECE OF SCAFFOLDING.

MANY TIMES ABOUT ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR PERSON.
BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW. WHAT OTHER
RECOURSE THAT SHE HAD YOU KNOW

THEIR WAGES ARE INSUFFICIENT.
WITHOUT INCOME ACCESS TOWN
IMPLEMENT BENEFITS AND LACK OF
TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT CLASSIFIED
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES FIND
THEMSELVES.
IN A VERY DIFFICULT POSITION
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS MANY
CLASSIFIED WORKERS RESORT TO FOR
LYING ON. FOOD BANKS MAXING OUT
CREDIT CARDS ARE COLLECTING CANS
ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THE BILL ALLOWS EMPLOYEES TO
PARTICIPATE IN A FUND THAT
PREVENTS THEM FROM HOMELESSNESS
HUNGER AND EXTREME POVERTY.
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS I HAVE
WITH ME TODAY KIM ROSENBERGER TO
SPEAK OUT TO THE MERITS OF THE
PUBLIC.
YEAH BUT THE THING KILL AND. AS
AN ADDED I I'M WITH SERVICE
EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION WE
REPRESENT.
FULLY ISN'T SOME THE MOST
POPULOUS DISTRICTS THIS IS AN
ISSUE THAT YOU'RE ALL FAMILIAR
WITH THOSE.
LEAVE PIVOTED.
EACH YEAR BUT WE'RE TRYING TO
FIND SOME FORM OF A SAFETY NET
FOR THESE NUMBERS NICE A SAFETY
NET BECAUSE.
THREAT OF HUNGER AND
HOMELESSNESS IS REAL EACH YEAR
WE PROVIDE ON A FOOD BANK
SERVICE FOR OUR MEMBERS AND WE
SEE THE NUMBERS GROW IN THE
FOOD.
GO EVEN FASTER.
WE URGE YOU TO CONSIDER AND
SUPPORT THIS BILL.
BECAUSE OUR MEMBERS ARE
INSTRUMENTAL TO THE SCHOOLS THEY
ARE THE BACKBONE BUT THEY'RE
ALSO IN THE BACKGROUND.
THERE'S SO SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
ISSUE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO
CONTRIBUTE A PORTION OF THEIR
PAYCHECK DESPITE HOW THIN THOSE
MARGINS ARE FOR THEM.
AT THE INSIDE WE URGE AYE VOTE
AND I THINK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION.
OKAY THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN MURS
MITCH SNIDER WITH CALIFORNIA

NDA.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
JEFF OFF I REPRESENTING THE
RIVERSIDE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS ON THE TWENTY THREE
SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS
THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
WE DO OPPOSE THE BILL OUR
OPPOSITION IS BASED. LESS ON
POLICY CONCERNS THAT IT HAS ON
FISCAL CONCERNS.
YOUR COMMITTEE ANALYSIS DOES AN
EXCELLENT JOB OF OUTLINING WHAT
THOSE CONCERNS ARE. THEY HAVE TO
DEAL WITH. MODIFYING EXISTING.
OF STRUCTURES AND PROGRAMS IN
ORDER TO MAKE THIS WORK. OF BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY I THINK THEY
HAVE TO DO WITH. THE IT
INCREASING DEMAND UPON.
A PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEED THAT EVEN WITH THE
LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA
HAS NOT. KEPT PACE WITH THE
RISING LEVEL OF FIXED COSTS. AND
WE DISCUSS THOSE CONCERNS IN
MORE DETAIL IN THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE. A LIFE I WOULD JUST
CLOSE BY SAYING THAT.
WE RECOGNIZE THE ESSENTIAL
NATURE THAT CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES
PLAY WITHIN THE K. TWELVE SCHOOL
SYSTEM. A SENATOR PORTANTINO AYE
PORTANTINO IN HIS TESTIMONY IN
THE SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE
INDICATED THAT HE WAS ALSO
WORKING. ON ON BUDGET SOLUTIONS
AND HIS ROLE AS THE SUBCOMMITTEE
CHAIR. AND THAT OF COURSE MIGHT
MIGHT CHANGE OUR OUR VIEWPOINT
ON THE BILL IF THERE WAS
SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO PROVIDE
FOR THAT. THANK YOU.
TWO OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
YES OUR CARLOS MACHADO
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION. ITEM WE APPRECIATE
THE THE EFFORT HERE.
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES ARE A
CRITICAL.
COMPONENT TO OF THE SERVICES
THAT WE PROVIDE TO OUR STUDENTS
AT THE SCHOOL. I IN AN ERA WHERE
I NEARLY HALF OF OUR DISTRICT
TURN DECLINING ENROLLMENT.
WERE STRUGGLING TO FULLY FUND
THE SERVICES TO OUR STUDENTS ARE
THIS.
ADDS TO THAT DIFFICULTY AND.
WE MUST RESPECT WE ASK FOR A NO
VOTE ON THE BILL THANK YOU.
ALRIGHT.
THING THAT WE'VE HEARD ABOUT
THIS IS.
QUESTIONS FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS
THURSTONE CENTER VERTIGO.
WHY NOT JUST GO THROUGH THE
NORMAL COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
PROCESS AND? GIVE THEM A LIVING
WAGE OF THE CAN ADVERTISE OVER
TWELVE MONTHS INSTEAD OF COMING
TO THE LEGISLATURE FOR
BATTERIES.
I THINK.
WHAT WE'VE SEEN OVER TIME IS
THAT THESE ARE?
THE LOWEST PAID WORKERS ON THE
SITE AND I TINK.
SOME OF THOSE EFFORTS HAVE BEEN
TRIED IN THE PAST.
THEY'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
UNEMPLOYMENT ANOTHER BENEFITS
BASED ON THEIR SALARY. SO THIS
TO ME SEEMS LIKE A. GOOD
SOLUTION AND HAS BEEN SAID I AM
TRYING TO WORK ON A BUDGET.
SOLUTION IS WELL TO KEEP
EVERYBODY HOLE OKAY SO USING THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING PROCESS
HAS. BEEN TRIED AND FAILED AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMING TO THE
LEGISLATURE OR OTHERS ALSO BUT
IN A HUNDRED DIFFERENT.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNITS THE
OTHERS PROBABLY EIGHT HUNDRED
DIFFERENT.
YEAH SO THIS SEEMS LIKE
SOMETHING THAT WARRANTS A STATE
APPROACH
THE SOLVING A PROBLEM FOR SOME
OF THE LOWEST PAID WORKERS WHO.
FRANKLY WE SEND OUR KIDS TO THE
SCHOOLS. YOU KNOW THESE ARE
PEOPLE WE TRUST FOR THEIR KIDS.
WE SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT THEY
CAN SUPPORT THEIR OWN CHILDREN
AND THAT WOULD THIS BE OUTSIDE
OF THE PROP NINETY EIGHT
ALLOCATION OF THIS BE INCLUDING
THE PART NINETY EIGHT ALLOCATION
OF CRITTER. THAT EMAIL TO ONE
THAT'S STILL AN ONGOING
CONVERSATION HEARINGS OKAY

SENATOR RICHARD PAN.
BUT CHAIR MISTER AND HAVE A
MEMBERS.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE
PRESENT S. B. EIGHT EIGHTY A
BILL THAT SEEKS TO ASSESS AND
BANK WORKERS WITH ACCESSING TO
TEMPORARY DISABILITY AND IF
BENEFITS WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT
DELAYS ARE FEES.
UNDER EXISTING LAW INJURED
WORKERS OR TEMPORARY DISABLED
AND AND UNABLE TO WORK DUE TO
WORKPLACE INJURY MUST RECEIVE A
TEMPORARY DISABILITY BENEFIT
WHICH SERVES AS A FORM OF
PARTIAL WAGE REPLACEMENT. NOTED
IN THE ANALYSIS THAT THAT IF IT
CAN ONLY BE SENT TO THE INJURED
WORKERS BY EITHER PAPER CHECK A
DIRECT DEPOSIT.
THE FORTY FOR FUN BANK WORKERS
THAT MEANS THEY'RE DEPENDENT ON
RECEIVING THE PAPER CHECKS IN A
TIMELY MANNER. AND A LOST OR
STOLEN CHECK CAN MEAN EVICTION
HUNGER EXTREME ANXIETY.
AND YET EVEN WHEN THE UNBANKED
INJURED WORKER RECEIVES HIS OR
HER CHECK FEES CAN CERTAINLY
THAT CAN EAT UP A SIGNIFICANT
PERCENTAGE OF THAT THAT IF. AND
EXAMPLE ASIDE BY ANALYSIS AN
INJURED WORKER WOULD PAY HREE
PERCENT. OR MORE JUST TO BE ON
THE CASH HIS OR HER CHECK TO PAY
FOR GROCERIES.
THE DRESS TO ADDRESS THIS GROSS
INEQUITY S. B. EIGHT EIGHTY
WOULD FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF ET
DE AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
PROGRAM TO CREATE A PILOT
PROGRAM TO ALLOW FOR.
THESE BENEFITS DISBELIEVE
EFFORTS TO BE LOADED ONTO A
DEBIT CARD DECK BE SENT DIRECTLY
TO THE INJURED WORKER THIS POWER
BE RUN BY THE STATE COMPENSATION
INSURANCE FUND WHICH THE QUASI
PUBLIC WORKERS COMPENSATION
ASSURE. AND A LARGE AND IS THE
LARGEST WORKERS COMPENSATION
INSURER IN THE STATE. THIS CARD
WAS BE ESSENTIALLY FEE FREE LIKE
THE YOU AYE BENEFIT CARD
ALLOWING INJURED WORKERS RECEIVE
THE FULL VALUE OF HIS OR HER
BENEFITS. THIS BILL CURRENTLY
HAS NO FORMAL OPPOSITION EXPECT
THE ASK FOR AND I THOUGHT.
THANK YOU.
FOLK ALL IN FAVOR OF.
AS SPEED EIGHTY PLEASE COME
FORWARD.
GOOD MORNING.
THAT AFTERNOON.
SENATORS IT ADDS AYE LAURIE
CAMERON I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF AT
THEM. AND WE SUPPORT SB EIGHT
EIGHTY.
AYE ANTHEM CURRENTLY HAS A
POSITION OF SUPPORT IF AMENDED.
WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE ALL PAYERS
I HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO BE
ABLE TO USE THE PREPAID CARD
ACCOUNTS.
BUT FOR FOR MANY DIFFERENT
REASONS.
PAPER CHECKS ARE MORE EXPENSIVE
OBJECTS CAN GET LOST IN THE
MAIL.
AS THE SENATOR HAD TO AN AUTHOR
HADINDICATED THAT.
THERE IS A LARGE AND A COUPLE
POPULATION AND THIS BILL WOULD
ENSURE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
IMMEDIATE.
ACCESS TO THEIR TEMPORARY
DISABILITY FUNDS ALSO. A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO AREN'T UNPAYABLE HAVE
TO GO TO AND CHECK CASHING THEN
USE WHERE THEY'RE PAYING UP TO.
WHAT FIVE TEN FIFTEEN TWENTY
PERCENT OUT OF THEIR TEMPORARY
DISABILITY SO?
FOR THAT REASON WE SUPPORT. THE
CONVENIENCE AS WELL AS
EFFICIENCY FOR AND ON BEHALF OR
FOR THE EMPLOYERS AND FOR THE
INJURED WORKERS THANK YOU THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES.
BUT YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OUT
MUCH TIGHTER THE CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION APOLOGIES FROM
THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD POSITIONS
TODAY BUT ON. WE SUPPORT THIS
BILL IN CONCEPT WE SPONSORED AB
FIFTY ONE IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR FOR ALL
WORKERS ARE UNBANKED WORKERS TO
GET THEIR PAYCHECKS ON PAYROLL
CARDS. AND ON SEVERE SUPPORTIVE
OF THE CONCEPT BUT WE LEARNED.
THAT OF THE HARD WAY THROUGH
THAT BILL THAT WE HAVE TO BE
REALLY REALLY CAREFUL WITH HOW
WE ALLOW FEES AND AND PROHIBIT
OTHER FEES AND HOW WE WERE ALL
OF THAT THE LEGISLATION SO ON.
YOUR SUPPORT OF THE CONSERVE
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR AND STAFF TO GET IT JUST
RIGHT SO WE CAN COME ON ITS
BOARD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY ANY OTHER SEND
SUPPORT.
THEN I'LL CALL UP THE OPPOSITION
TO EIGHT EIGHTY USER ANYBODY
HERE IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
SEEING NONE.
COME TO THEY.
.
SENATORS ON THE COMMITTEE.
THE SENATE AND.
.
I WOULD APPLAUD YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD.
YOU KNOW WE HAD A FISCAL CRISIS
IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT TWO
THOUSAND NINE. I WAS CHAIRMAN
THE BORDER BURNSIDE COUNTY BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS AND WE WERE
TASKED WITH.
FILLING A TWO HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR WHOLE SO WE WHEN THERE IS
A WE LOOKED AT WAS SET TO A LOT
ARE OUR EMPLOYEES WERE GETTING.
BRITAIN PAYCHECKS RIGHT AND WE
DISCOVERED THAT THE COSTS OF
WRITING A PAPER CHECK. TO THIS
THE COUNTY RIVERSIDE WAS ABOUT
TEN BUCKS.
ELECTRONICALLY PUT IT INTO THEIR
ACCOUNTS IT WAS LIKE.
JUST PANTIES RIGHT SO THIS IS
NOT ONLY GREAT FOR THE CONSUMER
THAT CAN USE THIS AS A
PORTABILITY FACTOR DITTY
RETAILER THEY WANT TO GO TO
GROCERY STORES WHERE THE NICO.
BUT IT'S ALSO OF BENEFITTED
INSURANCE COMPANIES IT WILL
STREAMLINE THEIR ABILITY TO
PROVIDE THOSE FUNDS AND MUCH
LESS EXPENSIVE WAY WHICH MAY BE
OR DO SOME OF WORKMAN'S COMP
RATES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SO.
WITH THAT.
AYE AYE AND THROUGH THE ASK LEE
YOUR BILL.
SENATOR JACKSON'S CASE I'M
WONDERING.
THIS SEEMS LIKE A A WIN WIN IN
A GREAT IDEA.
A GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE ARE
BECOMING A CASHLESS SOCIETY. AND
I'M WONDERING WHY WHY MAKE IT A
PILOT PROGRAM RATHER THAN JUST
SIMPLY ADOPTED IS. AS THE
FUTURE.
WE DO THIS WITH UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE. BENEFITS THAT WE NOT
SO IS THERE ANY REASON WHY YOU.
.
SORT OF ARE TAKING THIS KIND OF.
MORGUE SUBTLE APPROACH RATHER
THAN GOING FORWARD IN DOING
THIS.
BUT I IN TOTALITY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
QUESTION SENATOR JACKSON AS
YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE.
TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT WHICH WERE
KIND IT WIENERS I THINK WHAT WE
WANT TO DO THIS OF THIS FILM IS
FOR. HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS
TWO ONE IS BE SURE WE
INCORPORATE ALL THE LESSONS THAT
I LEARNED BY PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCES USING THESE CARDS SO
YARD BUT THERE'S STILL SOME
FURTHER DIALOGUE IN THESE HAVE
TO BE SURE INCORPORATE THAT. AND
ALSO SEE WHAT THE OPPORTUNITIES
ARE TO BROADEN AS MUCH POSSIBLE
SO WE'RE STARTING OFF BROWSING A
PILOT SO WE CAN TRY TO CORPORATE
THAT IF PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE
CERTAINLY OPEN TO. TRYING TO GET
MORE PEOPLE INTO THIS AND MAYBE
THEN STARTS BECOMING LESS OF A
PILOT. BUT WE WANT US WE WANT TO
BE SURE IS AGAINST HERE WE STILL
HAVE WORK TO DO TO BE CHAU
INCORPORATE ALL THE LESSONS.
THAT AND.
LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS
EXPERIENCES TO BE SURE THAT
THIS.
THAT EFFORT WORKS IN THE WAY
IT'S SUPPOSED TO AND PEOPLE
DON'T GET CAUGHT UP AND. YELL
DIFFERENT HIDDEN FEES OR OTHER
TYPES OF THINGS SELF THAT'S
THAT'S WHY WE'VE TAKEN THIS
APPROACH RIGHT NOW. AND IN ONE
OF THE QUESTION INTO.
ANTHEM.
WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THIS WHY. IT IS THAT SOMETHING
THAT. THAT IS SOMETHING WE'RE
CERTAINLY OPEN TO AGAIN THIS IS
I THINK WE JUST NEED SOME
FURTHER CONVERSATIONS AND ALSO
SAFEGUARDS THAT WE BEING YOU
KNOW WHAT WORKING WITH THE LABOR
FAT APPRECIATE ANTHEMS INTEREST.
BEFORE WE DO THIS RIGHT SO. YEAH
QUICK A GREAT IDEA AND IT WASN'T
MOVED HAS CERTAIN MOVE.
THANK YOU FOR DEBT I THINK THAT
WE SHOULD PROBABLY CONSIDER THIS
IS AN OPTION FOR A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS GOING
FORWARD.
GREED SENATE COUNTER CLOSE.
STRICTLY AS AN AYE VOTE.
OKAY WAS GOING TO BE PASSED TO
TO FESTER PREVENTIVE OPERATIONS.
PAN AYE.
PAN AYE SILENCE. DON'T FIGHT
JACKSON AYE JACKSON AYE MITCHELL

SEVENTY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN.
I HEARD.
SENATOR FROM.
WHAT UNION CITY THIS BILL IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS?
AND.
BUT THE THE THRUST IS I HOPE
CLEAR.
.
WE HAVE.
A VERY RAPIDLY EVOLVING
WORKFORCE AND ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS IN THE STATE AND THE
PREMISE OF THIS BILL IS TO.
FOR YOUNG WORKERS OUT THERE WHO
ARE GETTING READY TO EITHER
DECIDE TO GO TO COLLEGE OR
GRADUATE COLLEGE.
WHAT COMES NEXT TEND TO DO A
BETTER JOB?
WITH NET DE AND BROADER AT THE
STATE LEVEL TO GET THEM TO BE
COORDINATING WITH A LOCAL
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES.
BUT ALSO FURTHER UPSTREAM TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S A
COHERENT APPROACH HERE IS SORT
OF ACROSS THE BOARD.
.
THE PROGRAM WE IDENTIFIED IN
THIS BILL HERE.
.
IT WAS. AN EFFORT BY EDT TO
REALLY BUILD A MENTORSHIP
ELEMENT INTO HOW WE DO YOU THINK
CLIMBING OPPORTUNITY AND THE
FOCUS HAS BEEN. FOR SURE THE
MOST AT RISK POPULATIONS.
BUT WE'RE VERY OPEN TO INPUT AND
WE DIDN'T REALLY REACHING OUT TO
STAKEHOLDERS BOTH AND LABOR AND
EMPLOYERS AS TO WHAT THAT
FRAMEWORK COULD LOOK LIKE GOING
FORWARD SO I I WON JUST COMMIT
TO ALL. YOU KNOW.
THIS VIDEO VISIT OF THIS BILL IS
ABOUT THE FUTURE THE WORKFORCE
BUT.
AS IT EVOLVES I CERTAINLY WANT
TO WORK WITH THE CHAIR IN THIS
COMMITTEE TO TO HELP THE FINEST
FURTHER BUT I THINK IT'S A HUGE
OPPORTUNITY.
WHETHER IT'S OUR CAREER
TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS OR
WHAT'S CURRENTLY GOING TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGES A THERE'S
MORE TO BE DONE HERE AND I THINK
THIS PROGRAM FAIRS
CONSIDERATION.
SO WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR IPHONE. OKAY THANK YOU
CENTERS TURN IT WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
THERE'S MUCH TIGHTER WITH
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION ON
FROM THIS IS THE LAST MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD SUPPORT IT WILL DO
TODAY BUT. WE ARE AND WE VERY
MUCH LOOK FOWARD TO WORKING
WITH SENATOR STERN AND HIS STAFF
TO GET THE LANGUAGE JUST RIGHT
IT'S. AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
ISSUE MAKING SURE THAT WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT IS DONE IN A WAY
THAT HELPS MAKE SURE THAT THE
FUTURE OF WORK LOOKS GOOD FOR
WORKERS. THANK YOU WEAVERS FOR.
THANK YOU.
WITNESSES OPPOSITION.
THREE NINE QUESTION FOR
COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
I'VE SEEN NONE OF YOUR CENTER
SERVICIOS ANDERSON I REALLY
APPRECIATE.
THE DIRECTION THAT YOU'RE GOING
OUT WITH THIS BILL.
WE NEED TO PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR.
OUR KIDS MANY OF WHICH DON'T
WANNA GO TO COLLEGE AND WHEN I
GO TO OCCASIONAL SKILLS AND
WE'RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH KIDS
THAT HAVE FOUR YEAR DEGREES FROM
TROUBLE FINDING. FUNNY WORK YOU
KNOW THE UNIVERSITIES MAY NOT BE
TEACHING THE CURRICULUM THAT
HEARD IS NEEDED IN TODAY'S
MODERN SOCIETY SO.
I'M I'M LOOK ON THE LOOK AT
THIS BILL AS IT GOES ALONG AND
AND I HOPE TO BE A SUPPORTER OF
IT TODAY OUT ARMS CAN LAY OFF
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHERE
YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT BUT. NOT
BY MY MONTH DIVESTITURE GOING
THE RIGHT TO COMMIT TO COMING
BACK TO.
SO I WISH YOU THANKS A LOT FOR
THE WATER WITH.
OKAY THANK YOU. HAVE ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS A.
YOU JUST IT'S A GOOD CONCEPT AND
AND I KNOW THAT IT'S A WORK IN
PROGRESS FIVE.
I THINK THIS IS PART OF WHERE
WE'RE TRYING TO GO WITH THE
STATE WHEN WE. THE GOVERNMENT OF
OUR THERAPY PROGRAM AND BILLS
AND IF SO.
SIR SIR STERN AS I THINK WE
DISCUSSED BEFORE I THINK THAT
THE THRUST OF YOUR BILL TO.
TO TO HAVE.
JOBS FOR THE CALIFORNIA PROGRAM
CONSULT WITH LOCALS DEVELOPMENT
IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF AND I KNOW THIS IS
THE START OF A LARGER
CONVERSATION. AND CERTAINLY
ISSUE IF THERE ARE ADDITIONAL
ELEMENTS THAT YOU TO MOVE INTO
THIS BILL SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS
ARE. NOW WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A
COMEBACK OR COMMITTEES WE CAN
HEAR THOSE AND WHAT'S REALLY
WORK WITH YOU ON ON THAT AS WELL
SO I WANT THANK YOU SO MUCH RAIN
THIS BILL BEFORE US. I WOULD
LIKE TO CLOSE.
BUT THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
I APPRECIATE THE THE BIPARTISAN
INTEREST IN THIS I DON'T THINK
THIS IS A PARTISAN ISSUE I THINK
IT'S ABOUT.
CERTAIN THE FUTURE PROOF
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY IN THE
FUTURE OF OUR WORKFORCE AND.
IF WE ONLY LOOK AT HAD ONE OR
TWO YEARS I I THINK WE'RE GOING
TO IT'S AT OUR OWN PERIL ON THAT
CITY INVOLVING. ECONOMIC CLIMATE
AND WITH THAT I WOULD JUST
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE.
OKAY THANK YOU SO.
THAT SAID THE BILL WILL THE
MOTION IS TO PASS APPROPRIATIONS
BEEN MOVED BY SENATOR JACKSON'S.
SECRETARY PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
PAN TIGHT PANTS AYE STONE.
JACKSON.
JACKSON I MITCHELL I MITCHELL
AYE WIECKOWSKI BY THE COUNCIL.
OKAY THAT BILL IS OUT FOUR ZERO
FIRST FILL OUT.
RIGHT OKAY I SEE SENATOR SKINNER
HERE OKAY SO NEXT ITEM IS ITEM
NUMBER SEVEN SP TWELVE NINETY
EIGHT AND SKINNER WELCOME.
THEY.
S. B. TWELVE NINETY EIGHT
RECOGNIZES THAT SOMETHING A LOT
OF US DON'T APPRECIATE THAT. WE
HAVE.
PULL TO PULL PROCESS SEES.
FOR A PERSON.
TO HAVE A RECORD.
I CRIMINAL RECORD EITHER
DISMISSED FOR EXPUNGED OR
SEALED.
NOW WHAT WE'VE COME TO FIND OUT
IS THAT WHY WE HAVE THIS
PROCESS.
IT ISN'T REALLY WHAT WE THINK OF
A SEAL DOESN'T REALLY ALWAYS
HAPPEN.
AND AS A RESULT YOU CAN EVEN
HAVE AN ARREST
THAT IS THEN NINETY LEADS TO A
CONVICTION BUT STAYS IN A
RECORD.
AND THEN WHEN YOU GO TO APPLY
FOR JOBS THAT REQUIRE CERTAIN
TYPE A LICENSE AND THEY DO A
BACKGROUND CHECK. THEY FIND THAT
OUR RECORD EVEN THOUGH IT'S BEEN
DISMISSED AND IT DOESN'T SAY SO.
AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE THAT OP
SCHOOL OF NOT BEING ABLE TO GET
YOUR JOB SO WHAT MY BILL DOES.
IS.
MAKE SURE THAT IN THOSE CASES
SUCH A BACKGROUND CHECK DOESN'T
REVEAL OF COURSE DA STILL HAVE.
ACCESS TO A FULL BACKGROUND
CHECK BUT IT'S REALLY TO REMOVE
THAT BARRIER OF EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE WO
HAVE HAD RECORDS DISMISSED. OR
EXPUNGED AND I HAVE WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT ANDREA PERRY
FROM CALIFORNIANS FOR SAFETY AND
JUSTICE AND SARAH CROWLEY FROM
EAST BAY COMMUNITY LAW CENTER.
CAN THANK YOU. JUST PUT THE
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING MISTER
CHAIR AND SENATORS AND AND THANK
YOU TO THE AUTHOR I FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD I'M ANDRE
PERRY. AND I AM THE POLICY
ADVOCATE FOR CALIFORNIANS FOR
SAFETY AND JUSTICE AND WE ARE
THE SPONSORS OF THIS FILM. I'M
IN RECENT YEARS CALIFORNIA HAS
TAKEN IMPORTANT STEPS TO REDUCE
ITS PRISON POPULATION AND
INVESTED A WIDE RANGE OF NEW
SAFETY PRIORITIES REALIGNMENT
WITH AB ONE AND NINE PROP FORTY
SEVEN AM PROP FIFTY SEVEN. THAT
PUT THE SEAT AT A LOT I AM AT A
NEW PATH TO SHARED SAFETY AND
EMPHASIZES TREATMENT ANDREA BUT
REHABILITATION OVER LONG PRISON
SENTENCES THAT DO NOT PREVENT
CRIME OR HELP VICTIMS HILL AND
RECOVER. THEIR NEARLY EIGHT
MILLION CALIFORNIANS WHO ARE
STILL LIVING WITH OLD CRIMINAL
CONVICTIONS IN THERE. AT WITH
THEIR PAST INVOLVEMENT ITEM AND
THE PURPOSE OF AB ONE DIED
TWELVE NINETY EIGHT IS TO
CLARIFY THAT WHEN A CRIMINAL
CONVICTION HAS BEEN EXPUNGED OR
DISMISSED. IT SHALL NOT BE
RELEASED AS PART OF THE CRIMINAL
RECORD AND CHECK BY SPECIFIC
ENTITIES AND TO PROVIDE THE
PERSON WHO IS APPLYING WITH
THEIR QUARRY A CRIMINAL
OFFENDER.
RECORD INFORMATION OUT BEFORE IT
IS SENT TO A THIRD PARTY PEOPLE
WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS COME FROM
ALL WALKS OF LIFE HOWEVER
CONVICTIONS DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACT PEOPLE OF COLOR. PEOPLE
LIVING IN URBAN AREAS PEOPLE
WITHOUT COLLEGE DEGREES AND
PEOPLE WHO ARE LOW INCOME AB
TWELVE NINETY EIGHT IS A MODEST
APPROACH TO AFFORD ALL
CALIFORNIANS EQUAL SHOT AT
EMPLOYMENT RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AYE BUT.
MMHM.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
SENATORS AND MY NAME IS SARAH
CROLY I DIRECT THE CLEAN SLATE
PRACTICE THAT EAST BAY COMMUNITY
LAW CENTER IN BERKELEY. AND EAST
BAY COMMUNITY LAW CENTER IS THE
LARGEST PROVIDER OF FREE LEGAL
SERVICES NOW NEED A COUNTY AND A
CLEAN SLATE PRACTICE.
AND EVEN TLC HELPS HUNDREDS OF
CLIENTS PER YEAR WHO ARE FACING
BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT AND
LICENSURE BASED ON THEIR
CRIMINAL RECORDS.
AB CLC WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORTS
SP TWELVE NINETY EIGHT. OH WHICH
WOULD PROVIDE ACCESS OF FAIR
ACCESS TO JOBS FOR PEOPLE WITH
CRIMINAL RECORDS WHO PROVEN
REHABILITATION.
AND BE AN IMPORTANT COMPLEMENT
TO EXISTING LAW. AND IT WOULD DO
THIS BY ENSURING THAT PEOPLE.
IN REGULATED EMPLOYMENT AND THE
THIRTY PERCENT OF CALIFORNIA
WORKERS WHO REQUIRE A LICENSE OR
CERTIFICATE TO DO THEIR JOBS.
I'M HAVE ACCESS TO SOME OF THE
SAME PROCEDURAL PROTECTIONS AND
LIMITS ON RECORD EPORTING.
OF EXPUNGED CONVICTIONS
SPECIFICALLY THAT ARE ALREADY IN
PLACE IN IN THE PRIVATE
EMPLOYMENT CONTEXT.
JUST QUICKLY THAT TWO WAYS IT
WOULD DO THIS OUR FIRST BY
REQUIRING DISCLOSURE OF.
STATE SUMMARY CRIMINAL HISTORY
INFORMATION TO THE SUBJECT AND
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT THAT
RECORD BEFORE DISCLOSURE TO. AN
EMPLOYER LICENSING AGENCY FROM
AND IT WOULD BRING THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE PRACTICES
IN LINE WITH THOSE OF PRIVATE
CONSUMER REPORTING AGENCIES
REQUIRED UNDER. THE
INVESTIGATIVE CONSUMER REPORTING
ACT IN A FAIR CHANCE ACT.
THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
AND BECAUSE CURRENTLY THE
SUBJECT IS ONLY ENTITLED TO SEE
A COPY OF THE RECORD. I'M AFTER
AN EMPLOYER HAS REVIEWED IT AND
ONLY IF THE EMPLOYER LICENSING
AGENCY SAYS THAT THIS RECORD IS
THE BASIS FOR THEIR EMPLOYMENT
DENIAL. SO THAT THE APPLICANT IS
CURRENTLY OPERATING IN THE DARK
FOR MOST OF THIS PROCESS.
I'M AND HOUSE O SELF DISCLOSE
THE RECORD WITHOUT HAVING ACCESS
TO THAT INFORMATION. THIS CANDOR
TRAP THAT'S CREATED SERVES NO
ONE'S INTERESTS IN THIS THIS
BILL WOULD WOULD CREATE MORE
TRANSPARENCY AND FAIRNESS.
AND THE SECOND WAY THAT THIS
BILL HOPES AND PROVIDE FAIR
ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT. IS BY I'M
TAKING THE RECORDS OF EXPUNGED
OR DISMISSED CONVICTIONS OFF
REPORTS.
.
CURRENTLY LABOR CODE FOR THIRTY
TWO POINT SEVEN PROHIBITS MOST
EMPLOYERS FROM CONSIDERING THESE
CONVICTIONS. I'M BUT NONETHELESS
THEY GET REPORTED THAT SHOULD
NOT BE THE CASE OF THE DOJ
REPORTS A CONVICTION AN EMPLOYER
WILL CONSIDER IT NO MATTER WHAT.
THE LAW SAYS.
AND SO WE NEED THIS BILL IN
ORDER TO GIVE TRUE OF FACT TO
AND THE INTENT OF PENAL CODE FOR
THIRTY ARE SORRY PENAL CODE
TWELVE A THREE POINT FOR
EXPUNGEMENT. WHICH IS ONLY
AVAILABLE AFTER PEOPLE HAVE
PROVEN REHABILITATION. AND THIS
WOULD.
.
MAKE SURE THIS PETITION THIS
REMEDY HAS REAL TEETH THANK YOU.
GREAT YOU OTHER WITNESSES A
SUPPORT.
WHICH DUGGAR CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION ALSO IN SUPPORT THANK
YOU.
KIMBERLY ROSENBERG WAS SERVICE

HELEN WRIGHT WITNESSES IN

XENA WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
QUESTIONS FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS
A CELICA ASKING IF THE STAFF
REPORT TALKS ABOUT FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS AND AND WHETHER
THERE SHOULD BE A CARVE OUT
BECAUSE YOU PREVIOUSLY INVEST
OLD. AND YOU KNOW YOUR RECORDS
EXPUNGED IT'S NOT REPORTED TO
THE PERSON.
PRESUMABLY AND THIS BILL. YOU
HAVE AN OPINION ON THAT.
I THERE'S CLASSIFICATIONS OF
EMPLOYMENT THAT ARE SO SENSITIVE
I GUESS I'M GOING TO ALLOW.
GOOD.
WELL THEN YOU KNOW WITH RESPECT
TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
REGULATED UNDER THE THAT FTA THE
FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE ACT
THAT THAT REQUIRES THEM TO GET
FBI RECORDS. SO THEY GET THEIR
INFORMATION FROM THE FBI AND
THIS WOULD NOT IMPACT THEIR
ACCESS TO INFORMATION.
TO FIT INTO FBI RECORDS.
OKAY I'M. AND AN FBI RECORDS
HAVE THE FULL DOJ SO IN OTHER
WORDS IT WOULD ENABLE THOSE
INSTITUTIONS TO SEE THE FULL
RECORD.
RIGHT THE FOLLOWING UP ON THAT
ONE ANOTHER OCCUPATION IN THE
WORLD OF CHILDCARE.
AND D. DEALING WITH CHILDREN.
ARE THERE EXCEPTIONS
OF FOR THAT AS WELL I KNOW I GET
THE CONCEPT AND I AGREE WITH A
FULLY. BUT IF YOU HAVE A. THAT
IF YOUR CHILD CARE PROVIDER
LET'S SAY. YOU EVEN WANT TO KNOW
IF THE PERSON THAT THEY'RE
HIRING HAS HAD SOME. PARENTS ARE
READY.
SO ALL THIS COVERS IS OF THOSE
CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS THAT CAN BE
EXPUNGED RIGHT THERE ARE ALREADY
A FULL CLASS THERE'S A WHOLE LOT
YOU KNOW. OKAY CRIMINAL
CONVICTIONS THAT CAN NOT BE
EXPUNGED SO THIS DOES NOT TOUCH
THOSE SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR
SO THERE'S CERTAIN SEX CRIMES
THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE YOUR RECORD
EXPUNGED FROM.
SO IT IS ONLY COVERS THIS THOSE
CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS WHICH THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE VOTERS HAVE
ALREADY ALLOWED FOR AN
EXPUNGEMENT.
AND THEN IT STILL IF YOU FOR AND
ANYTIME THERE'S A FBI BACKGROUND
CHECK GIVES FULL ACCESS.
IT GIVES FULL ACCESS TO DA'S AND
IF YOU'RE APPLYING FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT GIVES FULL ACCESS TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
MOVE THE BILL.
THE BILL'S BEEN MOVED IN THE
QUESTIONS OKAY SEE OTHER
QUESTIONS A SET OF SKATERS THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD I THINK IT WORKED.
UNFORTUNATELY IN CALIFORNIA WE
CAN ACTUALLY TAP INTO THE FULL
TALLY OF OUR WORKFORCE.
BECAUSE TOO MANY PEOPLE OR CUT
OUT OF THAT ARE ARE DENIED
OPPORTUNITIES AND CERTAINLY I
THINK THIS.
THIS ADDRESSES ONE GROUP AS WELL
THAT PRECEDE YOU BUILDING BILL
FORD I UNDERSTAND IT'S BEEN
HEARD AND PASS OUT OF PUBLIC
SAFETY SO MADE THESE ISSUES HAVE
ALSO BEEN ADDRESSED AND AND THAT
COMMITTEE AS WELL.
AND CERTAINLY ONE. RECKLESS
SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL I WOULD
LIKE TO CLOSE THANK YOU I
APPRECIATE.
YOUR SUPPORT NASA FOR NIGHT

THANK YOU SO MUCH SHARON
MEMBERS.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT.
GRAFFITI ABATEMENT.
AND.
I'M SURE EACH COMMUNITY.
HERE HAS EXPERIENCE.
CERTAIN ASPECTS OF. GRAFFITI.
ARMED THE.
COUNCIL MEMBERS IN THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES.
WITH WHOM MY COORDINATE THIS
MEASURE COUNCILMEMBER MARY
MARTINEZ AND MONICA REGUS AT OF
NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT.
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES BOND
BETWEEN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
IN THE BUILDING TRADES FOR A
BUILDING TRADES APPENDAGE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM. APPROVED
BY THE DIVISION OF
APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS. THE
NOTION BEHIND THIS BILL IS TO
WHEN FOLKS SIGNED UP FOR THAT
PROGRAM ACTUALLY IS SORT OF JUST
BEING VOLUNTEERS. PAINTING STUFF
OUT LEARN THE REAL TRADE IN
CRAFT AND IN THE ROLE IN
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY BECOME
PAINTERS IN THIS AND BE EXPERTS
IN THE SPACE IS GOOD. AND SO THE
IDEA IS THAT THIS ALLOWS FOR THE
WAIVER AS IT RELATES AND SET
FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY AND THE BUILDING
TRADES.
ARE ON THE ABILITY TO REDUCES
INITIALLY THE A PAYMENT
OF FROM. THE MINIMUM CURRENT
MINIMUM WAGE PREVAILING WAG IS
BILLING WHICH A PREVAILING WAGE
STANDARDS. AND SO IT'S IT'S
SOMETHING THAT THAT THE CITY IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY
IT WAS SOMETHING THAT I THINK
THAT. THE WE'LL EAR FROM THE
WITNESSES HAN.
A IS REALLY A GREAT PILOT
PROJECT AND WE THINK WE HAVE A
LOT OF ENERGY BEHIND IT IS A LOT
OF EXCITEMENT BEHIND DIDN'T
THINK THAT HE CAN BE SOMETHING
GOOD VOTE INTO.
THE COMMITTEE ON THE ONE HAND
AND FOR JOB TRAINING PROGRAM FOR
FOLKS TO GET INTO A REAL
PROFESSION HAS REACHED FOR THIS
MEASURE AND WHO WANTS TO TALK
FIRST. OKAY THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF OUR OF
JEROME'S WE HAVE FOR THE
INTERNATIONAL UNION OF PAINTERS
AND ALLIED TRADES.
I HAVE TO GET MY DAUGHTER CREDIT
WHO WORK FOR ANOTHER MEMBER FROM
LOS ANGELES AND WORKED ON THIS
ISSUE FOR A COUPLE YEARS.
AND THAT MEMBERS NOW GONE IN
CENTER HERTZBERG GRACIOUSLY TOOK
UP THE MANTLE.
AND SHE SAID DAD HOW DO WE GET
HOW DO WE WORK WITH THE BUILDING
TRADES TO TREAD OF.
FIND SOMETHING TO ACCOMMODATE
EVERYONE ON THIS ISSUE AND
SEEING THAT INSTEAD MANY CASES.
PEOPLE GO BEFORE JUDGES ARE
SENTENCED TO GRAFFITI ABATEMENT
IN LOS ANGELES
SO WE THOUGHT WELL HOW DO WE SEE
HOW DO WE SPIN STRAW INTO GOLD
AND MAKE SURE THESE PEOPLE DON'T
RE OFFEND. AND THAT THEY
ACTUALLY HAVE A PATHWAY OUT.
AND SO THE THOUGHT HERE IS IS WE
CREATE A PRE APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM MUCH LIKE THE PRE
APPRENTICESHIP CHARTER SCHOOL IN
SACRAMENTO DOCTOR PAN. THAT
ALLOWS THESE PEOPLE PATHWAY TO
CHOOSE A TRADE AND THEY HAVE A
FOUNDATION TO GO INTO
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM NO
THEY'RE NOT BOUND TO GO INTO THE
PAINTERS UNION. THEY'RE NOT
BOUND TO GO ANY INTO ANY TRADE
IF THEY CHOOSE TO GO INTO AN
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM THIS SETS
THE GROUNDWORK FOR THEM. AND
IT'S ALL THE BETTER THAT WE'RE
DOING GRAFFITI ABATEMENT AND
THAT THESE KIND PEOPLE WITH
THESE NON PROFITS ARE DOING THE
SERVICE IN LOS ANGELES.
TWO WE SUPPORT THE BILL IN HERE
AND I THOUGHT.
GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS SHARON
VERMONT WHEN WITH THE HOLLYWOOD
LOS ANGELES BEAUTIFICATION TEAM
IF I COULD JUST.
TAKE A MOMENT TO GIVE US A BIT
OF HISTORY. A LOS ANGELES IS A
VERY LARGE GEOGRAPHIC AREA BUT
IT'S MADE UP OF MANY
COMMUNITIES.
AND IN THE NINETIES THE
COMMUNITY I GREW UP IN AND LIVED
IN WAS OVERWHELMED WITH GANG
ACTIVITY WHICH MEANS CRIME AND
GRAFFITI GRAFFITI MARKS
TERRITORY WHICH CREATES VIOLENCE
GRAFFITI MARKS DRUG DEALING.
IN RESPONSE TO THAT MY
COMMUNITY DEVELOPED THE
NONPROFIT SO WE WOULD BE ABLE
TWO PROFESSIONALLY AND WITH
INSURANCE.
GO OUT AS VOLUNTEERS AND AND
REMOVE THE GRAFFITI AND TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAP
INTO THE COMMUNITY SERVICE
PROGRAM WHICH WAS.
VITAL A BECAUSE WE WERE
GRASSROOTS WE UNDERSTOOD OUR
STREETS AND WE WERE ABLE TO DO A
VERY EFFECTIVE JOB AT THE SAME
TIME ALL ACROSS THE CITY OTHER
NON PROFITS FOR DOING THE EXACT
SAME THING. AND AS WE ALL WERE
AFFECTED INEFFICIENT TO THE CITY
EMBRACE THIS GRASSROOTS APPROACH
AND FOR ALL THESE YEARS WE'VE
ALL BEEN BLESSED WITH THE
OPPORTUNITY. OF TO BE ON THE
STREET AND PROVIDING THIS
SERVICE TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS WE
KNOW AND LOVE AND WHERE WE LIVE
AND WORK.
AND AT THE SAME TIME WE
DEVELOPED OTHER SERVICES AND
CRITICAL TO THIS
TO DEALING WITH CRIME IS TO GIVE
YOUNG PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
JOB TRAINING AND TO HAVE DROPS.
AND WE ALL DO THAT THE WITH
RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE OF FUNDING
SO THIS IS AN AMAZING
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK WITH
THE TRADES AND CREATE. REAL LONG
TERM JOB. OPPORTUNITIES FOR
TRAINING AND HAVE ACTUAL DROPS
AT THE END OF THE DAY WHILE THEY
WERE HAVE
FAMILY SUSTAINING INCOMES WE
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE WORKING
WITH THE BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL
IN WORKING WITH SENATOR
HERTZBERG. AND WOULD APPRECIATE
YOUR SUPPORT THANK YOU.

SIXTEEN YEARS. GOING STRONG AND
SEVERAL BY HOME EMPLOYEES

WENT THROUGH THE PROGRAM LEARNED
HOW TO DO IT AND WERE FANTASTIC
PEOPLE. GOT TROUBLE BUT WE HIRED

THE COMMUNITY LOVES US SO I AM
IN GREAT PART OF THIS BILL THANK
YOU THANK YOU. THANK.
THE SCENE OTHER WITNESSES FORT
WITNESSES OPPOSITION.
SEEING NO WITNESSES OPPOSITION
THAT I CHRISTOPHER COMMITTEE
MEMBER CENTER STEP. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR SENATOR HERTZBERG
SPRING BACKS A LOT A LOT OF DAYS
YOU WHOSE FOR ME.
IS YOU KNOW IS BORN IN LOS
ANGELES MY FATHER WAS A SPRAY
PAINTER LOS ANGELES AND I GOT
INTO THE BUSINESS OF WHAT E'RE
DOING HERE TODAY BECAUSE A
GRAFFITI INTO MACULA THAT WAS.
NOT BEING.
NOT BEING ABATED
SO OUT OF A PERSON GOING TO THE
ONE APPLAUDED FOR CONNIE FINDING
A CREATIVE WAY TO.
GET GRAFFITI DOWN AND AND
PRETTY. GROUPS LIKE YOURS
GRAFFITI BUSTERS AND WAS A SAND
BLASTING EQUIPMENT PAY MATCHING
MATERIALS AND GETTING OUT THERE
AND. AND AND AND CLEANING IT UP
AND EVERYONE SUPPORT THE BILL.
THE ONLY CONCERN I HAVE IS SO
OBVIOUSLY IF YOU'VE CHOSEN THE
MC THREE.
PROGRAM AS THE.
CREE PARTNERSHIP A PARTNERSHIP
PROGRAM. ANY POSSIBILITY OF
INCLUDING ANY OTHERS LIKE AND
CCD ARE AS A PART OF THE PROCESS
AND. WE THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE
NOT REQUIRED BY. ANYTHING AFTER
THEY DO THEIR PRINTER PROGRAMS
TO GOING TO A UNION OR NONUNION.
INDUSTRY TO OF A GRAFFITI BUT.
BUT THE CHALLENGE HERE IS THAT
THIS IS A NEGOTIATION WHICH
INCLUDES THE FOUNDATION OF THIS.
IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF APART FROM THE MAYOR AND THE
TRADES FOR WHICH THEN WE. HAVE
THIS EXEMPTION SO IT'S ALL TIED
IN I DON'T THINK ABSENT A CHANGE
IN THAT DOCUMENT YOU COULD MAKE
A CHANGE IN THIS LEGISLATION
OKAY WELL. YOU KNOW SOMETIMES
YOU GOTTA LEARN TO COMPROMISE IN
THIS BUSINESS.
AND I THINK THAT.
WELL I. I REALLY BELIEVE IN THE
THE NON UNION PRE APPRENTICESHIP
IN A PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS THIS
IS A DEAL THAT WAS STRUCK BY.
DALY CITY COUNCIL THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT GREEDY GRAFFITI
PROBLEM IN LOS ANGELES OR
SOMETHING THAT COMPELS THE.
PEOPLE THAT GRADUATED FROM A
PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS TO. GO INTO
A UNION OR NONUNION.
ENTITY TO GRAFFITI ABATE AND SO.
I'M GOING TO. SUPPORT YOUR BILL
TODAY BECAUSE I THINK THE LONG
TERM EFFECT IS GONNA BE IN THE
BEST INTEREST OF THE CITIZENS OF
LA. CLINIC I TRANSLATE THE NOSE
CO AUTHORSHIP AS WELL JUST PUSH
IT A LITTLE BUT TRY TO MAKE A
HARD SELL. AND ABOVE THAT COULD
HIT.
I MAKE IT UP OVER THE LINE IN
THE.
SO CAN TAKE A SINCE I DON'T
THINK YOU SENATOR SEVERAL
CASKEY.
I SEE THAT THE BILL CONTAINS A
SUNSET ON JANUARY FIRST TWO TWO
TWENTY FOUR AND I KNOW THAT THE.
TO SEE THE CITY OF ANGELS WILL
BE.
ENTERTAIN THE WORLD WITH THE
OLYMPICS IS IT THAT.
IT IS ELIXIR. TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR SO IT'S A GOOD IDEA IS THAT
THE AUTHOR'S INTENTION THAT ALL
THE GRAFFITI IN LOS ANGELES WILL
BE WIPED OUT BY THE.
I THINK.
YEAH.
EXACTLY THAT ABOUT THAT'S GOOD
EXAMPLE.
BUT YEAH.
