TODAY ALL OF WHICH ARE SUSPENSE
ITEMS.
WE HAVE TWO BILLS ON FILE THAT
HAS. HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR
NEXT HEARING. AT THE AUTHOR'S
REQUEST THOSE ARE MEASURES S. B.
TEN TWENTY EIGHT AND SB THIRTEEN
NINETY SEVEN BY OUR VERY OWN
SENATOR HILL.
AND I'VE WE CANNOT SERGEANTS
CALLED.
THE ABSENT MEMBERS SO WE CAN
ESTABLISH QUORUM AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE. AND WHY DON'T WE BEGIN
WITH SENATE JACKSON HE'S COME
FORWARD.
SIR DUDLEY HAVE FOUR ITEMS
REDFIN. PROMESAS BE BRIEF YOU
WANNA START LET'S START WITH S.
B. EIGHT THIRTY FOUR ERICA THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR AND COVER.
A VICIOUS A BILL S. B. A THIRTY
FOR THE PROHIBITS THE STATE
LANDS COMMISSION FROM APPROVING
LEASES THAT ALLOW FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE.
FOR NEW OR ADDITIONAL OIL AND
GAS PRODUCTION FROM FEDERAL
WATERS
I BELIEVE THE CHAIR KNOWS HIS
BILL WELL AS HE IS MY. JOINT
AUTHOR IN THIS.
AND WE WORKED TOGETHER ON THIS I
BELIEVE LAST YEAR'S WELL.
NOW CALIFORNIA'S LONG SOUGHT TO
PROTECT ITS STUNNING CHO SOON
OCEANS FROM THE RISKS INHERENT
WITH OFFSHORE DRILLING
STARTING IN NINETEEN TWENTY ONE
ALMOST A HUNDRED YEARS AGO. WHEN
CALIFORNIA WITHDREW CERTAIN OFF
SHORE AREAS FROM GAS AND OIL
LEASING IN NINETEEN NINETY FOUR
UPON FINDING THAT OFFSHORE OIL
AND GAS PRODUCTION POSED AN
UNACCEPTABLY HIGH RISK TO THE
STATE'S MARINE ENVIRONMENT.
THIS LEGISLATURE PASSED THE
LANDMARK COASTAL SANCTUARIES ACT
WHICH PROHIBITED NEW OFFSHORE
OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION IN STATE
WATERS.
THIS BILL CONTINUES THAT
TRADITION BY RESPONDING TO
RECENT ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION TO OPEN UP WIDE
SWATHS OF FEDERAL WATERS TO NEW
OFFSHORE OIL DEVELOPMENT.
SPECIFICALLY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION RECENTLY PROPOSED
UNDER ITS NEW FIVE YEAR OFFSHORE
LEASE PLAN FOR FEDERAL WATERS TO
OPEN UP SEVERAL NEW LEASES OFF
THE WEST COAST. WITH SIX NEW
RELEASES TARGETED RIGHT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA THIS IS THE FOOT
FIRST NEW PROPOSAL. OF LEAST
TRACKS OFF OF CALIFORNIA SINCE
NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR.
WHILE THE COMMITTEE ANIL A
ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THIS BILL MAY
RESULT IN FORGONE OFFSHORE OIL
AND GAS REVENUE ADDITIONAL
OFFSHORE DEVELOPMENT CALIFORNIA
POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF OIL
SPILLS. DEGRADING OUR AIR AND
WATER QUALITY AND ADVERSELY
IMPACTING OUR MARINE RESOURCES
AND THOUGH IT IS OFTEN
OVERLOOKED EXPANDED OFFSHORE OIL
AND GAS PRODUCTION ALSO DIRECTLY
THREATENS CALIFORNIA'S OCEANS.
BASED ECONOMY WHICH PRODUCES
FORTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR IN GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT
EACH YEAR AND EMPLOYS ALMOST
HALF A MILLION PEOPLE IN THE
STATE.
WE CANNOT RISK HARMING ONE OF
THE WORLD'S LARGEST ECONOMIC
ENGINES BY REVERSING COURSE ON
THIRTY YEARS A BIPARTISAN
AGREEMENT THAT HAS KEPT
CALIFORNIA'S COAST OFF LIMITS TO
OIL AND GAS.
THIS BILL HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
OVER FOR OVER A YEAR AFTER
SEVERAL CONSULTATIONS WITH STATE
LANDS COMMISSION STAFF POLICY
COMMITTEE CONSULTANTS AND ISSUE
EXPERTS AS A RESULT THE BILL HAS
BEEN REFINED AND SIGNIFICANTLY
TIGHTENED. TO ENSURE THAT THIS
BAND WILL BE AIRTIGHT.
AS WE DEBATE THIS BILL TODAY
STATES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY ARE
ENACTING SIMILAR LEGISLATION IN
MANY CASES MODELED ON MY BILL
FROM LAST YEAR.
IN FACT THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY
HAS PASSED A SIMILAR BILL AND IT
IS SIGNED INTO LAW. IN NEW
JERSEY WHILE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HAS SECURED AN
EXEMPTION DIRECTLY FROM THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
STATE OF FLORIDA I'M SORRY THE
STATE OF FLORIDA HAS SECURED AN
EXEMPTION DIRECTLY FROM THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO THE
BENEFIT OF GOVERNOR AND U. S.
SENATE CANDIDATE RICK SCOTT.
FROM SOUTH CAROLINA TO
WASHINGTON STATE REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC STATES ARE SAYING NO
TO NEW OFFSHORE DRILLING. AND
IT'S TIME WE DID THE SAME HERE.
AND WITH ME I HAVE TWO WITNESSES
TO SPEAK ON THE ECONOMIC
IMPORTANCE OF THIS BILL WANNA
ALL TO MARINA. MARRANO SHE'S ME
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
AUDUBON SOCIETY AND DAN JACOBSON

ASSOCIATED WITH THE OUTER.
CONTINENTAL SHELF PIECES ISSUED
AFTER JANUARY FIRST.
TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN THIS BILL
TO US IS A COMMON SENSE BILL
THAT PROTECTS CALIFORNIA'S
NATURAL RESOURCES.
THE STORY OF EVERY.
BILL IN RECENT HISTORY HAS BEEN
WRITTEN AND IMAGES OF DEAD BIRDS.
A DEAD AND I AM BIRDS WE LEARNED
IN NINETEEN SIXTY NINE THAT
DRILLING OFF OUR BEAUTIFUL
CLOTHES WASN'T WORTH THE GAMBLE.
AND WE'VE REGULARLY PROVEN SINCE
HER.
RIGHT SINCE WE NEED TO BE
WILLING TO LEARN FROM HISTORY
AND AVOID REPEATING THE MISTAKES
OF THE PAST.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN ACCIDENTS
SPILLS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT
OFFSHORE. DRILLING CALIFORNIA'S
UNNECESSARY DANGEROUS BUT THIS
IS NOT ABOUT SENSIBLE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT IT'S ABOUT THE
EXPLOITATION OF NATURAL
RESOURCES IN A WAY. THAT
THREATENS CALIFORNIANS BIRDS
MARINE LIFE AND AND FISHING
INDUSTRY AND ARE TRULY
CALIFORNIAN WHALE LIFE
CALIFORNIANS HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.
THAT OF THE MASSIVE OIL SPILL
OFF THE SHORES OF SANTA BARBARA
IN NINETEEN SIXTY NINE THAT'S
PART MOVEMENT TO BE BACK AND
OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE STATE
AND HAD IMPACTS.
ACROSS THE U. S. SPELLS COVERED
THIS BILL COVERED HUNDREDS OF.
SQUARE MILES OF OCEAN BLACKENED
MORE THAN THIRTY MILES OF SPEECH
AND KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF BIRDS THE COST OF NOT
ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE NOW WILL.
ADVERSELY BE CONSEQUENTIAL TO
OUR NATURAL RESOURCES HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND IT IS FOR THESE
REASONS THAT WE REVIEW WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK WHEN I FELT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MISTER CHAIRMAN MY NAME IS DAN
JACOBSON WITH ENVIRONMENT
CALIFORNIA LET ME MAKE FOR QUICK
POINTS HERE THE FIRST IS THAT SB
THIRTY FOUR IS COMPLETELY
CONSISTENT WITH THE SENATE
RESOLUTION.
SEVENTY THREE WHICH PASSED WITH
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT CHOI THINK
THAT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE.
SECOND IN IS MISTER AULT TO
MARINO HAS ALREADY POINTED OUT
PASSED IMPACTS NOT ONLY NINETEEN
SIXTY NINE BUT THE. OIL SPILL IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN WITH A HUNDRED
AND FIFTY SQUARE MILES BUT THAT
WERE IMPACTING CLOSE DOWN
COMMERCIAL FISHING GROUNDS
HURTING CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY AND
THE ENVIRONMENT.
IN TWENTY SIXTEEN CALIFORNIA IS
MANY PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW WAS THE
SIX LARGEST ECONOMY WITH THE
COASTAL ECONOMY TO PRODUCE TWO
POINT TWO TRILLION DOLLARS IN
GDP. WHICH A CAGE WHICH EQUATES
TO TWELVE PERCENT OF THE
NATION'S GDP. AND IN TWENTY
TWELVE BE OCEAN RELATED TOURISM
AND RECREATION CONTRIBUTED
SEVENTEEN POINT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS TO CALIFORNIA'S GDP
WHICH GREW TO NINETEEN POINT
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN. AND FINALLY I WOULD
JUST CONCLUDE MY LAST POINT
SAYING THAT THERE ARE PLENTY OF
OPPORTUNITIES IN WHICH TO
PRODUCE ENERGY OFF THE COAST OF
CALIFORNIA WE CAN DO IT WITH
OFFSHORE WIND WHICH DOES NOT
HAVE THE DEVASTATING IMPACT THAT
OIL DOES. BUT WHICH DOES PRODUCE
A HEALTHY ECONOMY AND.
PLENTY OF ENERGY FOR THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA THANK YOU VERY
MUCH THANK YOU ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES AND SUPPORTER.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SILVIUS

PERFECT OF ANY CONSEQUENCES FROM
COMMITTEE.
SEEING IN HER ANSWER JOHNSON
WHICH ARTS CLOSE IS VERY BRIEFLY
YOU KNOW TO TALK ABOUT THE
IMPACTS ON THE COSTS.
SHOULD WE BE ABLE TO DO WHAT
OTHER STATES ARE CALLING FOR NOW
IS BEYOND SPECULATIVE WHAT WE DO
KNOW THOUGH IS THAT THE COSTS IF
WE DO ALLOW EXPANDED OFFSHORE
OIL DRILLING. A CAN BE A
TERRIBLY A IMPACTFUL ON OUR.
ECONOMY AND AS WAS NOTED IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN SANTA BARBARA YET
AGAIN SUFFERED ANOTHER.
OIL SPILL WHICH COST NOT ONLY
THE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY BUT
OTHER AFFECTED COUNTIES MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS
WE KNOW HOW DEVASTATING AND HOW
DESTRUCTIVE OIL DRILLING IS WE
KNOW WHAT'S COST TO OUR
ENVIRONMENT. WITHOUT I BELIEVE
THAT.
IS THIS BILL IS GIVEN
CONSIDERATION WE RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANCE OF MAKING THIS
STATEMENT PROTECTING OUR COAST.
AND PROTECTING THE FUTURE OF OUR
PLANET WITH ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
SOURCES THAT WE KNOW ARE THERE
AND ARE BEING WELL DEVELOPED.
THANK YOU THINGS ON JACKSON
MCCARTY IMPORTANT WORK ON THE
SIDE OF.
SENATE JACKSON LET'S MOVE TO
YOUR SECOND ITEM I'M SORRY.
WITHOUT OBJECTION GONNA MOVE
THIS ITEM TO THE SUSPENSE FILE
FOR FURTHER DELIBERATION.
LET'S CONTINUE WITH S. B. TEN
NINETY THREE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS THIS IS A MEASURE S. B.
TEN NINETY THREE THAT WOULD ADD
ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICE WORKERS
AND INVESTIGATORS. TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES
CONFIDENTIAL RECORDS PROGRAM.
WELL THE ANALYSIS STATES THAT
THIS IS A SUSPENSE CANDIDATE IT
ALSO STATES THAT IT IS A ONE
TIME AN ONGOING OPERATIONAL
BECAUSE.
THAT ARE BOTH MINOR AND ABSORB
MOBILE THESE COSTS ARE TRULY A
MINOR INVESTMENT THAT WILL
BENEFIT THE STATE IN THE LONG
RUN.
BY PROVIDING ADULT PROTECTIVE
SERVICE WORKERS WITH THE
CRITICAL PROTECTIONS OF THEIR
PERSONAL INFORMATION DATA
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO SERVE
CALIFORNIA'S EVER GROWING ELDER
POPULATION.
THAT IS EXPERIENCING FINANCIAL
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABUSE IF WE
DO NOT PROTECT THESE APS WORKERS
AND GIVE THEM THE SENSE OF JOB
SECURITY THAT ARE AFFORDED TO
OTHER SOCIAL WORKERS SUCH AS OUR
CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICE WORKERS.
THE LONG TERM IMPACTS OF THE
SENIOR ABUSE CASES REMAINING
UNRESOLVED WILL RESULT IN
UNPRECEDENTED AN UNKNOWN FUTURE
COSTS TO THE STATE. WITH PLACING
THE CPS WORKERS ON THE
CONFIDENTIAL RECORDS PROGRAM IT
WILL ALLOW THEM TO VISIT THEIR
CLIENTS WITH THE PEACE OF MIND.
AND GREATER EFFICIENCY IN THEIR
WORK KNOWING THAT DESPITE FACING
THREATS OF STALKING BY ABUSERS
WHICH ARE VERY REAL. A TO TAKE
DOWNTHEIR LICENSE PLATE THEIR
PERSONAL INFORMATION WOULD
THEREFORE BE PROTECTED THIS IS
TRULY A OF A VERY SERIOUS
PROBLEM I WOULD INDICATE THAT
MOST OF THESE WORKERS ARE WOMEN.
HAVE FAMILIES AND THEIR FEAR OF
BEING HARASSED INTIMIDATED OR
THREATENED IS VERY REAL THIS
WOULD BE A SMALL COST WE NEED%
MORE WORKERS NOT FEWER AS OUR
STATE AGES. AND WITH THAT I HAVE
WITH ME CATHY SANDERLING FROM
THE COUNTY WELFARE DIRECTORS
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA. AND
WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT
THIS MEASURE OF MOVE OFF THE
SUSPENSE FAR THANK YOU WHEN IS
ISN'T SUPPORT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN FIRST
KATHY SANDERLING WHAT THE COUNTY
WELFARE DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION
WHERE THE SPONSOR OF THE
LEGISLATION WE HAVE ABOUT SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO EIGHT
HUNDRED ADULT PROTECTIVE
SERVICES WORKER STATEWIDE. AND
AS THE SENATOR NOTED WE DO
BELIEVE IT'S A MINOR CASA
POTENTIALLY PREVENT GREATER HARM.
AND ENABLE US TO CONTINUE TO
RECRUIT A QUALIFIED WORKFORCE
ESPECIALLY AS WE KNOW WE WILL
NEED TO ADD STAFF OVERTIME AS
OUR POPULATION CAN.
STE AGE
THIS WOULD ALSO PROVIDE EQUITY
WITH THE CHILD WELFARE STAFF TO
DO THE SAME JOB AND ARE ALREADY
AFFORDED THE PROTECTIONS THAT
WERE SEEKING IN THIS LEGISLATION.
FOR JUST THESE FEW HUNDRED STAFF.
.
IN SHORT WE ARE HAPPY TO WORK
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR
VEHICLES TO ENSURE THAT WERE
UTILIZING ALL OF THEIR EXISTING
SYSTEMS AND THEIR EXISTING FORMS
FOR THE PROTECTIONS THAT ARE
ALREADY AFFORDED. TO ABOUT TWO
DOZEN OTHER CATEGORIES OF
WORKERS THROUGHOUT THE STATE
WHILE THE BILL IS ON SUSPENSE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE COSTS ARE
MINIMAL.
THANK YOU THANK YOU ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN PER SYLVIA

I CARE ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT. WHEN THIS IS AN
OPPOSITION.
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE.
FINANCE ARE JACKSON WOULD LIKE
TO CLOSE JUST VERY BRIEFLY WITH
ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE ANALYSIS
AGAIN USING THE SAME FORMS THAT
EXIST JUST ADDING THESE.
ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES
WORKERS I BELIEVE IT IS A MINOR
COST AND THAT THE COST INDICATED
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IS JUST UNNECESSARY. WE
HAVE THE FORMS WE HAVE THE
SYSTEM WE JUST WANT TO ADD THIS
GROUP ARE VERY IMPORTANT WORKERS
A TO THEIR PROTECTION AND WITH
THAT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR.
CONSIDERATION IN TAKING THIS OFF
SUSPENSE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME
THANK YOU SENATOR COME WITHOUT
OBJECTION WILL MOVE THIS ITEM TO
THE SUSPENSE FIVE.
MOVING OUT S. B. ELEVEN FIFTY.
THIS IS A BILL ON SITAR CEDAW IS
THE COMMISSION ON THE
ELIMINATION OF DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST WOMEN. THIS IS A BILL
THAT WILL PUT A GENDER LANDS ON
STATE ACTIVITIES BY ASKING STATE
DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES TO LOOK
AT THEIR PERFORMANCE AND THEIR
ACTIONS. THEIR DECISION MAKING
IN GOALS IN THE CONTEXT OF
GENDER DISCRIMINATION AND TO
EXAMINE WAYS WE MIGHT BE
PERPETUATING GENDER
DISCRIMINATION IN OUR EMPLOYMENT
PRACTICES WAGE DISPARITIES
HEALTH INEQUITIES. OR THE
DELIVERY OF PUBLIC SERVICES IN
GENERAL CALIFORNIA WOULD BE THE
FIRST STATE TO ADOPT WHAT IS
KNOWN AS THIS. A SITAR.
BUT THIS HAS BEEN AN
INTERNATIONAL BILL OF RIGHTS FOR
WOMEN IT IS THE FIRST AND ONLY
INTERNATIONAL TREATY THAT
COMPREHENSIVELY ADDRESSES
WOMEN'S RIGHTS WITHIN POLITICAL.
CULTURAL ECONOMIC SOCIAL AND
FAMILY LIFE THESE ASSESSMENTS
ARE CRITICAL FOR ENSURING
FAIRNESS FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS AND
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE COMMITTEE WHILE THE BILL IS
ON SUSPENSE. TO DETERMINE WAYS
WE CAN APPROPRIATELY REDUCE ITS
COSTS WHILE RETAINING THE
IMPORTANT GOAL OF THE BILL. I
BELIEVE THE CANDIDATE OF THE
BILL IS A CANDIDATE FOR THE
SUSPENSE FILE.
THANK YOU ARE CONSEQUENCES WHAT
IS IN SUPPORT.

COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE.
SEEING NONE TO JACKSON WAS ARTS
CLOSE VERY BRIEFLY CEDAW IS AN
INTERNATIONAL TREATY THAT HAS
BEEN SIGNED BY ALL BUT SEVEN
COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD.
THE UNITED STATES IS ONE OF THEM.
AS HIS THE SUDAN WITH ALLOW AND
OTHER STATES HAVE NOT.
COUNTRIES OF NOTE IF WE'RE
GOING TO REALLY START ADDRESSING
THE ISSUE OF INEQUALITY IN IT
INEQUITY BASED ON GENDER. THIS
IS ONE OF THE KEY PLACES WHERE
WE NEED TO START AND WITH THAT I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF THIS BILLS ON
SUSPENSE FIGURES ARE JACKSON.
ITEM IS SB THIRTEEN HUNDRED.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS I AM HERE
TO PRESENT SB THIRTEEN HUNDRED A
COMPREHENSIVE BILL TO A SHARE OF
THE TO ADDRESS SEXUAL ASSAULT IN
THE WORKPLACE.
BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE TO THE
COURTS ON OUR SEVERE AND
PERVASIVE LEGAL STANDARD THAT IS
REQUIRED
TO BRING A LITIGATION IN A CIVIL
ACTION.
IT WILL ALSO HOLD DEPLORE
EMPLOYERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
FAILING TO TAKE REASONABLE STEPS
TO PREVENT HARASSMENT BEFORE IT
RISES TO THIS LEVEL. IT WILL
ALSO STRENGTHENED SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
AND PROHIBIT LEGAL TACTICS THAT
SILENCE VICTIMS AND PREVENT THEM
FROM SEEKING JUSTICE WHICH
INCLUDE NON DISPARAGEMENT
CLAUSES. AND SNEAKY RELEASES
THE BILL IS A SUSPENSE CANDIDATE
AND AS THE ANALYSIS SAYS THERE
ARE POTENTIALLY INCREASE COSTS
TO DEPARTMENT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT
AND HOUSING. AS MORE PEOPLE
BECOME AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS AND
DHEA FI H.'S AN INVESTIGATORY
ROLE. THERE ARE POTENTIALLY
UNKNOWN COSTS INCURRED BY
STRENGTHENING SEXUAL HARASSMENT
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS AND BY
REQUIRING TRAINING FOR ALL
EMPLOYEES NOTCHES SUPERVISORS
AND FOR EMPLOYERS OF FIVE OR
MORE. WHILE THERE MAY BE
ADDITIONAL UP FRONT COSTS THIS
BILL IS AN ATTEMPT TO PUT
STRONGER PROTECTIONS IN PLACE TO
PREVENT UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATORY
CONDUCT FROM OCCURRING IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
WHEN SEXUAL HARASSMENT OCCURS IT
CARRIES STEEP COSTS FOR ALL
EMPLOYERS INCLUDING THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE
REPORTED THAT THE STATE IS PAID
OUT MORE THAN TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE LAST
THREE FISCAL YEARS AYE TO SETTLE
SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASES.
ASIDE FROM THESE KIND TO DIRECT
COSTS THERE ALSO A POTENTIALLY A
HOST OF INDIRECT COSTS TO THE
STATE FROM SEXUAL HARASSMENT
INCLUDING INCREASED EMPLOYEE
TURNOVER. DECREASED PRODUCTIVITY
AND DAMAGE TO OUR STATE'S
REPUTATION AND ALSO PREVENTION
IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE.
ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO PREVENT
HARASSMENT BEFORE TO RISES TO
UNLAWFUL LEVELS IT'S WORTH AND
NOT JUST BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR
OUR WORKPLACES. BUT BECAUSE IT'S
ALSO GOOD FOR THE BOTTOM LINE
AND IS ULTIMATELY A COST SAVINGS
WHICH IS WHAT WE HEAR TODAY TO
DISCUSS. THE BILL IS A SUSPENSE
CANDIDATE I RECOGNIZE A BUT I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AT
THE APPROPRIATE TIME THIS BE
REMOVED FROM THE SUSPENSE FILE.
AND I HAVE WITH ME TODAY OF
MOROCCO MARIE COAX HIS MERE
SHIKARA WITH CALIFORNIAN
PLAYMATE LAWYERS ASSOCIATION ONE
OF THE BILL'S SPONSORS TO SAY A
FEW WORDS ARE IN SUPPORT AS WELL
AS THE. A A UW THANK YOU WHEN
THIS ISN'T SUPPORT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN BIRDS
MARIE CURIOUSLY HARLOT THE
CALIFORNIA PLAN OWNERS
ASSOCIATION WE ARE PROUD TO
COSPONSOR THIS BILL WITH EQUAL
RIGHTS ADVOCATES. ALSO JUST WANT
TO MENTION THAT THIS IS A
PRIORITY BILL FOR THE WOMEN'S
ECONOMIC.
FOR OF THE WOMEN'S ECONOMIC
SECURITY GENDER AS PART OF THE
STRONGER CALIFORNIA
I THIK IT'S NOT OUR.
AND I JUST WANT TO QUICKLY
EXPLAIN WHY IT'S A WOMEN'S
ECONOMIC SECURITY ISSUE THAT'S
BECAUSE SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS
INEXTRICABLY LINKED WITH.
THE GENDER WAGE GAP WHEN HIS
WORKPLACE OPPORTUNITIES CAREER
DECISIONS AND EARNING POWER TO
PREVENTING AND EFFECTIVELY
ADDRESSING SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS
ONE VERY EFFECTIVE WAY TO CLOSE
THE DOOR.
WAGE GAP
MANY WOMEN WHO EXPERIENCE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AT WORK REPORT
INCREASED ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
WHICH IMPACTS WORK PRODUCTIVITY.
AND POOR WORK PERFORMANCE AT
WORK AND OTHER RECENT STUDY
FOUND THAT WOMEN WHO SAY THEY'VE
EXPERIENCED SEXUAL HARASSMENT AT
WORK OR SIX POINT FIVE TIMES
MORE LIKELY. TO LEAVE THEIR JOB.
OFF INTO A JOB OF LOWER QUALITY
OR WITH LOWER PAY OR OFTEN WILL
JUST LEAVE THE WORKFORCE
ALTOGETHER.
HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT ALSO
LEAD WOMEN TO AVOID ENTERING ARE
STAYING IN CERTAIN INDUSTRIES
WHICH ALSO LEADS TO INCREASED
OCCUPATIONAL GENDER SEGREGATION.
I'M WANT TO RECOGNIZE.
OR THINK THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR RECOGNIZING THAT THE
TRAINING WILL ACTUALLY HELP
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CLAIMS ON
BECAUSE AGAIN WHAT THIS BILL
TRYING TO DO IS PREVENT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT FROM OCCURRING IN THE
FIRST PLACE.
ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS AND I THINK
THAT THIS WILL LOWER REDUCE
LITIGATION COSTS IN IN RELATION
TO CERTAIN KINDS OF LEGAL
TACTICS THAT. SUCK WE'VE WE'VE
SEEN SERIAL PERPETRATORS USE TO
TRY TO SILENCE VICTIMS OR HAVE
THEM LEAVE THEIR RIGHTS.
AS A AS A WAY TO FOR THE SEXUAL
PREDATORS AGAINST YOU EVADE OUR
SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWS SO AGAIN
I THINK THIS COMES DOWN TO
PREVENTING SEXUAL HARASSMENT
CLAIMS FROM. AND BEING FILED ALL
TOGETHER AND INCREASING WOMEN
AND MEN'S EARNING POWER.
AT WORK.
THANKS ACTUALLY. I URGE YOUR
SUPPORT.
HUMANS WITH CURRENTLY ON BEHALF
OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF
UNIVERSITY WOMEN FOR CALIFORNIA
AND WE ALIGN OURSELVES WITH
COMMENTS OF SELAH.
THANK YOU.
AN ADDITIONAL. WHEN THIS IS A
SUPPORT WHEN THIS IS IN
OPPOSITION.
COMMENTS ARE. PUSH.
OPPOSITION.
PLEASE COME FOR.
HI GOOD MORNING LARK ARTISTS ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY
TODAY WE ARE HERE. I'M IN
OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTEEN
HUNDRED BECAUSE OF THE FISCAL
IMPACT ON EMPLOYERS THIS IS
ACTUALLY TITLED A JOB KILLER FOR
THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
AND BECAUSE OF THE CRUSHING MY
LITIGATION THAT WILL COME FROM
THIS BILL AND THERE DOES SEEM TO
BE SOME CONFUSION AROUND WHAT
EMPLOYERS DUTIES ARE EMPLOYERS
DO HAVE AN AFFIRMATIVE DUTY
UNDER THE LAW CURRENTLY TO
PREVENT HARASSMENT
DISCRIMINATION. AND THE REQUIRED
TO ACT AS SOON AS THERE IS A
COMPLAINT ADDITIONALLY THE DFV
HRT HAS POLICE POWER REGARDING
FAILURE TO PREVENT HARASSMENT
DISCRIMINATION WELL THERE'S NO
CURRENT PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION
FOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE
HARASSMENT DISCRIMINATION. THAT
DOES FALL UNDER THE DFB AGES
POLICE POWERS. AND DURING THE
INFORMATIONAL HEARING THAT WAS
HAVE AT THAT WERE HELD EARLIER
THIS YEAR THERE SEEM TO BE AN
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE CURRENT
SEVERE PERVASIVE STANDARD SHOULD
NOT BE LOWERED. HOWEVER S. B.
THIRTEEN HUNDRED.
SIMPLY PROVIDES A SKIRT AROUND
THAT SEVERE PRETTY SUBSTANDARD
YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO SUFFER
FROM HARASSMENT OR
DISCRIMINATION IN ORDER TO BRING
A CAUSE OF ACTION.
YOU'RE SIMPLY BRINGING A CAUSE
OF ACTION FOR FAILURE TO BROWN
HARASSMENT DISCRIMINATION THAT
NEVER ACTUALLY OCCURRED.
THEREFORE EMPLOYERS ARE SIMPLY
BEING SUED FOR HARASSMENT
DISCRIMINATION THAT DIDN'T
ACTUALLY OCCUR ADDITIONALLY ANY
AN INDIVIDUAL CAN BRING THE
CAUSE OF ACTION AGAINST EMPLOYER
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AN EMPLOYEE.
AND IT'S IN THE CURRENT.
BILL USES IF AND WOOD LANGUAGE
IF IT WERE TO OCCUR THEN IT
WOULD BECOME HARASSMENT OR
DISCRIMINATION SO ESSENTIALLY
WHAT THIS WOULD BE.
ALLOW IS FOR THE COURTS TO
SERVE AS CALIFORNIA'S HUMAN
RESOURCES AND THE COURTS WOULD
BE THERE TO YOU AND. TO TRY AND.
DIFFUSE THESE KIND OF
EMPLOYMENT COMPLAINTS THAT
SHOULD BE HANDLED WITHIN AN
EMPLOYERS AND OBLIGATIONS AND
THIS RADICAL LOWERING OF THE BAR
WITH AN CREATE CRUSHING METAL
LITIGATION BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE
POTENTIAL HARASSMENT OR
DISCRIMINATION CLAIM THAT.
WASN'T BROUGHT BY THE INDIVIDUAL
THAT SUFFERED HARASSMENT OR
DISCRIMINATION EVEN IF THAT
INDIVIDUAL DID NOT BELIEVE THAT
THEY WERE PERSONALLY SUFFERING
HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION
COULD BE BROUGHT BY ANOTHER
PERSON. TO THE EMPLOYER
THEREFORE WE ARE IN OPPOSITION
SB THIRTEEN HUNDRED AS A JOB
KILLER THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS CHRIS MCKAY WE ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA AMBULANCE
ASSOCIATION AND I WOULD ECHO THE
CONCERNS THAT. MISS CURTIS A
NOTED BUT I WOULD JUST ADD. A
CENTER JACKSON IS WE'VE HAD
DISCUSSIONS BEFORE AS INDICATED
THAT THIS BILL IS INTENDED TO
PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO THE COURTS
AND.
WE FIND THAT THE LANGUAGE
PARTICULARLY IN SECTION TWO OF
THE BILL SUB SECTION QUE IS VERY
AMBIGUOUS.
AND WILL HAVE THE EXACT OPPOSITE
EFFECT IN RESPECTFULLY TO THE
PROPONENTS WE DON'T THINK IT'LL
REDUCE LITIGATION COSTS
PARTICULARLY FOR THE PRIVATE
SECTOR BUT INSTEAD. DRIVE THEM
UP SUBSTANTIALLY AND I THINK
THAT YOUR ANALYSIS NOTES IN THE
THIRD BULLET ON PAGE TWO. OUR
FUNDAMENTAL CONCERN WHICH IS
THAT THE BILL. UNDER THE BILL
THE PLAINTIFF DOES NOT NEED TO
PROVE THAT HE OR SHE ENTERED
SEXUAL HARASSMENT OR
DISCRIMINATION. WHICH IS A
RADICAL DEPARTURE OUR OUR OTHER
CONCERN IS THAT WE THINK THAT
THERE WILL BE COST TO THE STATE
AS WELL AS THE PRIVATE SECTOR
BECAUSE THE LIMITATION ON.
SIGNING A RELIEF OF A RELEASE OF
CLAIMS UNDER FEE ARE IS GOING TO
RESULT IN FEWER.
AND MORE COSTLY SETTLEMENTS OF
CASES SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE
CONTINUE TO BE A POST THANK YOU.
THIS IN AWARENESS IS AN
OPPOSITION SERGEANTS AT THE
COOPER COOP ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
WINEGROWERS IN STRONG SUPPORT UP
CLOSE SORRY.
SORRY.
A FLAME BORDERS ON BEHALF OF THE
FAMILY BUSINESS ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA AND THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF JOINT POWER
AUTHORITIES RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED.
THANK YOU.
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE.
FINANCE OUR JACKSON'S LIKE CLUBS
AS WELL THIS IS A LONGER
CONVERSATION OF BUT YOU CAN BE
SURE THAT THE GOAL HERE. IS NOT
TO INCREASE LITIGATION WE HAVE A
VERY HIGH STANDARD OF SEVERE AND
PERVASIVE SO THAT OF LITIGATION
CAN ONLY BE BROUGHT ONCE IT.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO
PROVIDE A EMPLOYERS WITH A DUTY
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AS SOON AS
IT OCCURS RATHER THAN WAIT UNTIL
IT BECOMES SEVERE AND PERVASIVE
WHICH THEN GENERATES THE
LITIGATION THAT WE'RE SEEING
TODAY?
SO.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT THE THAT THE.
A WE CAN WE NEED TO CRY WOLF
ABOUT THAT AT THIS POINT.
AND WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS
EMPLOYERS IT CAN'T SIT ON THEIR
HANDS WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN
AND WAIT UNTIL LAWSUITS ARE
FILED SO.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT OF THE
GOAL HERE IS.
TO REDUCE.
THESE KINDS OF CLAIMS BY
REDUCING THE KIND OF BEHAVIOR.
AND THAT IS THE GOAL AND WE WORK
VERY HARD TO ACHIEVE THAT I
BELIEVE THIS BILL DOES IT I'M
ALWAYS HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION IF THERE'S ANY
AMBIGUITY BECAUSE THE GOAL. IS
CERTAINTY THE GOAL IS TO MAKE
SURE WE'RE ALL WORKING A WITH
THE SAME ROADMAP. A WORLD DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PREVENT
THIS FROM HAPPENING AND WITH
DATA I RECOGNIZE IT IS A.
A BILL THAT IT WILL BE GOING ON
THE SUSPENSE FILE BUT AS
MENTIONED THERE ARE A LOT OF
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
THAT OUR SOCIETY REALLY CANNOT
AFFORD TO ENSURE AND I BELIEVE
THIS BILL WILL ASSIST US IN
REDUCING THOSE COSTS.
THANK YOU SENATE JACKSON WITHOUT
OBJECTION WE MOVE THIS ITEM TO
SUSPENSE FILE.
.
SENATOR LOOK WHO'S COME FORWARD.
SENATE WORK YOU ARE PRESENTING
ON SP TEN ON I'M.
FOR CORRECT.
AND YOU'RE WAY BEAN ON S. B.
THIRTY FIFTY SIX YES SIR PERFECT
EXPOSURES.
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS. S. B.
TEN OO NINE WOULD ALLOW FOR
TUTORING BEYOND BASIC SKILLS
COURSES PERMITTING COMMUNITY
COLLEGES TO COLLECT
APPORTIONMENT FUNDING.
SUPERVISE TUTORING AND ALSO
EDUCATORS THAT ARE EITHER BASIC
SKILLS.
DEGREE APPLICABLE OR TRANSFER
LEVEL THE CURRENT RESTRICTIONS
IN THE AD CODE LIMIT THE ABILITY
TO EXPAND TUTORING IN SUBJECT
AREAS THAT ARE DEGREED
APPLICABLE UNLESS HERE
CORRESPOND TO ANOTHER NON CREDIT.
CATEGORY.
TUTORING IT'S PROVEN TO INCREASE
COURSE COMPLETION BASED ON
RESEARCH FROM COLLEGE OF THE
CANYONS WHO'S A SPONSOR THIS
BILL. STUDENTS TO RECEIVE
TUTORING HAD HIGHER RATES OF
COURSE COMPLETION THAN THOSE WHO
DID NOT.
FOR INSTANCE STUDENTS TO RECEIVE
TWENTY MORE HOURS OF TUTORING
HAD AN EIGHTY TWO PERCENT COURSE
COMPLETION RATE.
THAT COMPARES TO COURSE
COMPLETION RATE OF SEVENTY
PERCENT FOR THOSE RECEIVING NO
TUTORING.
AMONG THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHODS
FOR IMPROVING STUFF SUCCESS IS
PROVIDING SUPERVISED
TUTORING IN WHATEVER SUBJECT
SUBJECT STUDENTS FIND THAT THEY
WILL NEED ADDITIONAL HELP.
THEREBY SUPPORTING THEM ON THEIR
PATHWAY TO COMPLETION.
I BELIEVE S. B. TECHNO NINE WILL
ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY BECAUSE IT
EXPENSIVE TUTORING WILL BE
OFFSET BY THE SAVINGS REALIZED
FROM FEWER STUDENTS REPEATING
CLASSES.
ADDITIONALLY BUT NON CREDIT
APPORTIONMENT RATE IS LOWER.
PER.
F. T. E. S. THEN THE THEN THE
CREDIT RATE SO WHILE THE STATE
WILL SEE AN INCREASE COSTS AND
TUTORING A CORRESPONDING
DECREASE IN THE MORE EXPENSIVE
COST OF COURSE COMPLETION WILL
RESULT IN A NET SAVINGS.
ADDITIONALLY I'M SPANK ME
COLLEGE ENROLLMENT GROWTH FUNDS
THAT ARE ALREADY APPROPRIATED
COULD ALSO BE USED FOR TUTORING
IF NEEDED. WITH PERMISSION THE
CHERUB WITNESSES TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT I HAVE DOCTOR BERRY
GRIBBIN STEPHANIE CHANCELLOR OF
COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS AND
MICHELLE UNDERWENT REPRESENTING
THE ASSOCIATION A CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ADMINISTRATORS.
THANK YOU WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
I'M THE DEPUTY CHANCELLOR FOR.
AT COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS OF
THE BOTTOM LINE FISCAL IMPACT OF
THIS BILL IS THAT IT WOULD BE
EXPECTED TO SAVE OF THE STATE
SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR.
IN NAVAJO LABRA LITTLE BIT ON
THAT.
OVER MY EIGHTEEN YEARS AT THE
COLLEGE WE'VE DONE ABOUT MY
MYSELF MY RESEARCH STAFF DONE
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED STUDIES.
A SOME OF THOSE STUDIES HAVE
BEEN ON THE EFFECTS OF TUTORING.
AS THE SENATE SENATOR WILK JUST
MENTION.
STUDENTS NOT RECEIVING TUTORING
HAVE A SUCCESS SUCCESS RATE OF
SEVENTY PERCENT OF THE
PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS PASSING
THE CLASS OF SEVENTY PERCENT.
WITH TUTORING ONE AND ONE TO
NINE HOURS OF TUTORING THAT
INCREASES TO SEVENTY EIGHT
PERCENT.
WITH ATTENDED NINETEEN HOURS
THAT GOES UP TO EIGHTY PERCENT.
AND OVER TWENTY HOURS GOES UP TO
EIGHTY TWO PERCENT.
US SO.
SUBSTANTIALLY HIM A LARGER
PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS PASS THE
COURSE AND THEREFORE DON'T NEED
TO REPEAT THE COURSE.
.
AS A SENATOR JUST MENTION.
TUTORING IS FUNDED AT A LOWER
RATE THAN.
THAN CLUB CREDIT CLASSES.
BUT IT'S FUNDED AT THREE
THOUSAND AND NINE DOLLARS PER.
FTE AS OPPOSED TO A FIVE
THOUSAND AND FOUR DOLLARS PER
FTE.
WHEN STUDENTS
THE I PURSUE TUTORING THEY
OFTENTIMES JUST NEED A FEW HOURS
OF TUTORING. THEY'LL NEED TO
ENGAGE IN THE FULL FIFTY HOURS
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPEAT
IF THEY EVEN WHEN TAKING A CLASS
OVER AGAIN.
SO COUPLING. THE THE LOWER RATE
AND THE I'D FEWER HOURS THAT THE.
HEALTH ALLOWING TUTORING FOR
ADDITIONAL SUBJECT HERE SUBJECT
AREAS WOULD ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY.
I ALSO EVEN IF IT DID IT.
THERE ARE.
OTHERS OF FUNDS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY UNSUBSCRIBE THAT ARE
LEFT ON THE TABLE FOR TYPES WHO
WERE HEFTY FOR FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT STUDENTS.
BUT NONE.
SKILLS.
SOME OF OUR HISTORICALLY LOW
SUCCESS RATE COURSES INCLUDE.
AREAS LIKE HISTORY PHILOSOPHY
ASTRONOMER ASTRONOMY COMPUTER
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CRAFT
DESIGN BIOLOGY PHYSICS AND MANY
AREAS. OF STUDENT STRUGGLE
WITHOUT WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT
AREAS AND THEY NEEDS THIS US
SUPPORT OF TUTORING.
I'D RARELY DO WE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP STUDENTS TO
INCREASE THEIR SUCCESS RATE. AND
TO DO SO IN A AND A VERY LARGE
SCALE ACROSS THE STATE. WITH NO
FISCAL IMPACT BUT THAT'S WHAT
THE.
TEN OO NINE WOULD DO THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING MICHELLE MCCANN
UNDERWOOD ON BEHALF OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA
COMMUNICATIVE ADMINISTRATORS

ALLOWING ME TO TESTIFY THIS
MORNING IN SUPPORT OF SB TEN OR
NINE.
SENATOR WILK HAS DONE AN
EXCELLENT JOB OF SUMMARIZING THE
BILL SIDE SIMPLY ADD THAT
STUDIES ON THE EFFECTS OF
TUTORING ON STUDENT SUCCESS THEM.
DEMONSTRATE A SIGNIFICANT TREND
THE MORE ACADEMIC SUPPORT
STUDENTS RECEIVE THE MORE LIKELY
THEYARE TO PASS THEIR COURSES
STAY ENROLLED AND PERSIST IN
THEIR EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY.
SINCE EVERY COMMITTEE COLLEGE
COURSES SUBSIDIZED BY THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA WE BELIEVE THIS
BILL WILL BE A FISCAL BENEFIT TO
THE STATE AS STUDENTS HAVE FEWER
REPEAT COURSES AND MOVE THROUGH
THE SYSTEM MORE EFFICIENTLY.
RESULTING IN A BETTER ETURN ON
INVESTMENT FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AS OUR STAFFS EXCELLENT OUT
ANALYSIS NOTES THERE ARE MANY
FACTORS IN DETERMINING THE
BILL'S AFFECTS
ON STATE SPENDING WHAT IS NOT IN
DISPUTE IS THAT TUTORED STUDENTS
ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. AND WE THINK
THAT IS A WORTHY INVESTMENT OF
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT DOLLARS.
WE THANK THE SENATOR WILK FOR
HIS LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE.
THANK YOU MISSION AWARENESS IS
IN SUPPORT PLEASE COME FORWARD.
