FORESHORES.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS THIS IS A MEASURE IT IT
IS A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO REACH.
A A TO REQUIRE MORE WOMEN
DIRECTORS ON THE BOARDS OF
PUBLICLY HELD CORPORATIONS IN
CALIFORNIA.
WITH WOMEN MAKING UP FIFTY TWO
PERCENT OF THE STATE'S
POPULATION BUT ONLY TWENTY EIGHT
PERCENT OF THE DIRECTORS ON OUR
PUBLIC CORPORATIONS.
WE THEREFORE LEAVE ABOUT SEVENTY
PERCENT OF THE STATE'S
CORPORATIONS OPERATING WITHOUT
THE BENEFIT OF THE EXPERIENCE
PERSPECTIVE AND TOOLS THAT WOMEN
BRING WITH THEM TO THE CORPORATE
SETTING.
THIS MEASURE TAKES THE FIRST
STEP TOWARDS CLOSING THIS GENDER
GAP BY REQUIRING EACH PUBLICLY
HELD CORPORATION HEADQUARTERED
IN CALIFORNIA. TO HAVE AT LEAST
ONE WOMAN ON ITS BOARD OF
DIRECTORS BY THE END OF TWENTY
NINETEEN.
AND THAT BEGINNING IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE THE BILL REQUIRES A
MINIMUM OF TWO DIRECTORS ON
BOARDS WITH FIVE. AND AT LEAST
THREE WOMEN ON BOARDS OF
DIRECTORS WITH AT LEAST SIX OR
MORE DIRECTORS.
WITH ME TODAY FROM NOVEL
CALIFORNIA ARE AMY BARNARD BOND
WHO BRINGS TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE IN A WIDE RANGE OF
CORPORATE LEADERSHIP ROLES. AND
AMY COLLINS A LIFELONG
ENTREPRENEUR FROM THE SANTA
BARBARA AREA. TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE I MENTION
THIS BILL AND I THINK THIS BILL
IS IMPORTANT AS WE LOOK AT ITS
COST.
IN THAT WE KNOW THAT COMPANIES
THAT HAVE WOMEN ON THEIR BOARDS
ARE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND MORE
PROFITABLE. AND OF BRINGING
WOMEN INTO THE CORPORATE
DECISION MAKING ALSO HELPS TO
CHANGE THE CORPORATE CULTURE. IN
A WORLD WHERE WE SEE MORE AND
MORE.
WOMEN AND MEN WANTING TO
BALANCE TO BETTER BALANCE THEIR
WORK AND THEIR LIFE AND THIS IS
CRITICAL AS WE MOVE INTO THE
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY IN WITH
THAT. OF I HAVE MY WITNESSES
HERE TO SPEAK.
THANK YOU WITNESSES AND
SUPPORTER.
ON DISSIDENTS BANG CARE BRAINS
AMY BERNARD VAUGHN AND I'M AN
EXPERIENCE CONSULTANT TO
CORPORATE BOARDS I'M AN ATTORNEY
LICENSED BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. ANIMAL PREVIOUS KEEP
CORPORATE HUMAN RESOURCES
OFFICER AND I KNOW HOW CORPORATE
BOARD SEARCHES ARE CANDLES THAT
VERY CONFIDENTIAL. THERE BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS AYE WHEN OPENINGS
OCCUR FRIENDS OF CURRENT BOARD
MEMBERS ARE LINED UP EXPECTING
TO BE CALLED ON.
TO MONITOR PROGRESS EVERY YEAR
TWENTY TWENTY WOMEN ON BOARDS.
AS A NONPROFIT THAT PROVIDES
RESEARCH TRACKING FOR ALL
RUSSELL THREE THOUSAND
CORPORATIONS IN EVERY STATE IN
THE COUNTRY.
AND SINCE TWENTY TWENTY ON
BOARDS HAS ALSO ISN'T TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN THEY'VE TRACKED
WOMEN ON BOARDS FORTUNE ONE
THOUSAND COMPANIES. ARE CURRENT
DATA SHOWS THAT.
ONE FOURTH OF CALIFORNIA'S
PUBLIC COMPANIES STILL HAVE NO
WOMAN DIRECTOR ON THEIR BOARD OF
DIRECTORS.
CALIFORNIA COMPANIES AVERAGE
FIFTEEN POINT FIVE PERCENT OF
WOMEN DIRECTORS LAGGING BEHIND
THE FORTUNE ONE THOUSAND WHICH
HAS NINETEEN POINT EIGHT PERCENT
WOMEN ON PORTS.
WOMEN ON BOARDS RD TRACKING
RESULTS ANNUALLY. THOSE RESULTS
ARE OPENLY SHARED WITH THE
NATIONWIDE PUBLIC TWENTY FOUR
SEVEN ON OUR WEBSITE. WILL
PROVIDE THIS RESEARCH AT NO COST
TO THE STATE THERE'S NO NEED FOR
THE CALIFORNIA STATE GOVERNMENT
TO DEPLOY DUPLICATE THE EFFORTS
THAT ARE ALREADY BEING CONDUCTED.
INDEPENDENT RESEARCH STUDIES ARM
AS SENATOR JACKSON HAS SAID. BY
CREDIT SUISSE
MCKENZIE AND I MUST SAY I PROVE
THAT ONE WOMEN SERVE ON PUBLIC
COMPANY FOR ITS PROFITABILITY
AND PRODUCTIVITY INCREASE WE'D
LIKE TO SEE THAT PRODUCTIVITY
AND PROFITABILITY. IN CALIFORNIA
FOR INCREASED TAX REVENUES.
SO WITHOUT ALTERNATE OVER TO MY
COLLEAGUE.
THANK YOU.
I MEAN IT HOLLINS COMPETITOR AND
HEAR THE NAMES.
I THINK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING
US HERE TODAY I WANTED TO TALK
ABOUT THE ASPECT OF NOT BOW AND
THE PAST PRESIDENT A SANTA
BARBARA CHAPTER AND I ALSO. AND
AM THE PUBLIC POLICY DIRECTOR
FOR THE SAN.
ASSOCIATION.
ONE OF OUR AREAS OF CA.
THAT WE WANT TO BRING FORWARD
WAS THE FACT THAT AS WOMEN
BUSINESS OWNERS WE DO LAND
EXPERTISE TO CORPORATE BOARDS.
THROUGH A LINES OF A BUSINESS
OWNER BUT ALSO THROUGH THE LENS
OF PHYSICALITY THAT CANNOT BE
UNDERSTATED AND OFF.
OVERSIGHT AND OFF WE.
MAKE SURE THAT THE BOUNCES ARE
THERE AND THAT THE BUDGETS
HAPPEN IT HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER
AND OVER AGAIN THAT WOMEN WHO
SET ON CORPORATE BOARDS TEND TO
TAKE LESS RISK IN A POSITIVE
MANNER SO THAT IN DOWNTURN
ECONOMIES.
THESE COMPANIES DO YOU TEND TO
PERFORM BETTER AS A PREVIOUS
FINANCIAL ADVISER I CAN TELL YOU
THAT WE WOULD TRADITIONALLY LOOK
AT CALVERT FINDS BECAUSE MANY OF
OUR INVESTORS. LIKES THE FACT
THAT THEY INVESTED IN SUCH
RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT STRATEGY
WHICH I MANY TIMES INCLUDED
WOMEN ON THEIR BOARDS. SORT
ENCOURAGE YOU THAT WE LEVERAGE
THESE GREAT RESOURCES THAT WE DO
HAVE THAT ARE WILLING TO BURDEN
THE COSTS.
AND SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD
AND MOVE THE NEEDLE TO PUT WOMEN
ON THESE BOARDS AND HELP OUR
BUSINESSES AND OUR COMPANIES
GROW ALONG WITH OUR PORTFOLIOS
THAT ARE IN MANY OF OUR
RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ADDITIONAL WHEN THIS
ISN'T SUPPORTER.
PLEASE COME FORWARD.
GOOD MORNING MY NAME'S JENNIFER

ASSOCIATION FOR WOMEN BUSINESS
OWNERS AND IN THE CURRENT CHAIR
OF THE WOMEN AND GIRLS
ADVANCEMENT COALITION.
AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF VIA
CONSULTING GROUP A FIRM THAT
FOCUSES ON THE GENDER PAY GAP
HERE IN OUR STATE.
I'M WE ARE IN FULL SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL WE SEE SO MANY GREAT
OPPORTUNITIES AND. REALLY.
LA THE RESEARCH THAT THAT.
WOMEN ON BOARDS.
RESEARCH HAS BEEN HAS BROUGHT
FORWARD AND I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE A GREAT RESOURCE FOR THE
STATE THANK YOU.
VERY CLEAR CHARLOTTE THE
CALIFORNIA KLIMENT LAWYERS
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU ADDITIONAL ONE IS IS
IN SUPPORT ONE IS IN OPPOSITION
IS HOPEFUL.
AT LEAST IT ONE IT WAS ONE OF US
AFRICA ACCORDING AS A JUROR IN
MONUS MIKHAIL AND I'M SORRY FOR
YOUR CONTINUED ALLERGIES HERE.
WE ARE IN OPPOSITION WE'VE HAD
DISCUSSIONS OF COURSE WAS CENTER
JACKSON PREVIOUSLY. US CERTAINLY
THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY HAS LONG
SUPPORTED DIVERSE CITY EFFORTS
WE WORKED VERY DILIGENTLY
HER ALL.
EQUAL PAY ACT
BUT ALSO THE YEAR AFTER WAS
CENTER HALLS BILL TO EXTEND IT
TO BOTH RACE AND ETHNICITY IS
PROTECTED CLASSIFICATIONS THE
PROBLEM WITH THIS BILL IS. USES
ONE CRITERION THAT IS GENDER.
AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE LANGUAGE
OF THE BILL WILL ULTIMATELY
REQUIRE DISPLACEMENT OF EXISTING
BOARD MEMBERS IN ORDER TO MEET
THE MANDATORY CRITERIA CONTAINED
IN THIS BILL. WE ALSO THINK THAT
IT VIOLATES THE. PROVISIONS OF
THE US CONSTITUTION THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION AND
ARTICLE ONE SECTION EIGHT AND
CALIFORNIA CIVIL RIGHTS ACT WE
DO. A WE DON'T HAVE ANY
INDEPENDENT WAY OF VERIFYING THE
SECRETARY OF STATE.
DATA THAT'S PROVIDED IN YOUR
FISCAL ANALYSIS BUT WE DO
FOR THAT
SINCE THIS DATA IS NOT PROVIDED
TODAY TO THE SEC.
STATE IN THE ENFORCEMENT
SEVERAL THE WILL.
UNDOUBTEDLY SUBSTANTIAL START UP
AND ONGOING COSTS FOR THE
SECRETARY OF STATE IN
IMPLEMENTING THIS BILL SO FOR.
PRIMARILY POLICY REASONS WE
REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE BILL THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU ADDITIONAL WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION.
BUT DROUGHT COOK FOR THE
CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS AND
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION AND WE
OPPOSE.
THERE ARE THOMAS WITH SLOGANS
JENSEN ASSOCIATES ON BEHALF OF
VIACOM IN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU ADDITIONAL WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION.
FINANCE
THE MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS JULIA MADERA WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE I HAVE NO
FILE ON THIS MEASURE. NO FILE
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS FROM
COMMITTEE.
SEEING NONE SENATOR JACKSON BUT
THE ONLY QUESTION HAD. IS.
SINCE FOR SPECIFYING GENDER I
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU
THOUGHT WE NEEDED SOME MAY BE
EXPANDED AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE
WE INCLUDE OUR TRANSGENDER.
COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THEY
WERE ALSO PART OF THAT. I I'M
JUST INTRODUCTION THAT ALL I
THINK ABOUT WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE
COULD
ABOUT.
HOW OF PEOPLE IDENTIFY THE
RIGHT NOW?
RIGHT NOW THE REAL PROBLEM IS
THAT WE HAVE.
VERY FEW.
PEOPLE OF COLOR VERY FEW NON
WHITE MEN ON THESE BOARDS AND.
YOU KNOW ONCE WE START BREAKING
THAT CEILING.
NOT MY THOUGHT IS THAT START
WITH THE SIMPLEST WAY TO DO THAT.
OF BECAUSE OTHER THAN.
A YOU KNOW ALL THESE ARGUMENTS
THEY KEEP THROWING ITS AGAINST
THIS LAW IN ITS AGAINST
CONSTITUTIONS CANSOS WE KNOW
THAT THE CORPORATE.
BOARDROOM IS THE INNER SANCTUM
OF.
.
SORT OF THE TRADITIONAL OF MALE
ONLY VIEW OF THE WORLD AND SO ON
THE THINKING IS LET'S BREAK IT
BREAK IT DOWN NOW SO THAT WE
INCLUDE WOMEN. AND AS WE DID BY
THE WAY WITH EQUAL PAY BILL.
OUT WE STARTED BY.
IDENTIFYING GENDER BASED
DISCRIMINATION AND THEN WE
RECOGNIZE THAT DISCRIMINATION
EXISTS NOT TRUST ON GENDER BUT
ALSO ON RACE AND ETHNICITY AND
AND ALL OF THESE OTHER FACTORS
SO THIS WAS SORT OF THE FIRST
STEP WE WANT TO. CRACK THAT THAT
CEILING AND.
ONCE WE CRACK IT THEN WE CAN
ADDRESS THESE OTHER ISSUES I
WOULD ALSO SAY THAT THE DATA WE
HAVE.
DOES ADDRESS THIS ON THE BASE
S. ON GENDER AND IT'S CLEAR THAT
COMPANIES WHERE YOU HAVE AT
LEAST ONE OR MORE WOMEN ON A
BOARD OF DIRECTORS. OTHER
PRODUCTIVITY INCREASES
SIGNIFICANTLY I THINK BRINGING
IN OTHER.
A GROUP AND AND IDENTITIES IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BUT WE HAVE
TO START SOMEWHERE THE EASIEST
ONE IS THAT WOMEN ARE AS A.
GROUP ARE FIFTY TWO PERCENT OF
THE POPULATION.
WE ARE THERE ARE NO WOMEN ON
TWENTY EIGHT PERCENT OF ALL THE
BOARDS AND WE ARE A SEVENTY
PERCENT OF THE STATE'S
CORPORATIONS OPERATE. WITHOUT
THE BENEFIT OF A SINGLE WOMAN SO
ARE YOU I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
AND APPLAUD YOUR EFFORTS HAVE
BEEN A REAL CHAMPION ON THIS
ISSUE SO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE.
APPS LOWERED HERE WERE BEING AS
INCLUSIVE AS POSSIBLE.
OF ALL WOMEN
SO YOU KNOW WE CAN HOME MOORE'S
HESTER BUT IT HAPPILY THOUGHT OF
OF YOUR EVIDENCE APPRECIATE
WHERE YOU TO WORK THAT YOU'VE
DONE. SO.
WILL TAKE THAT AS YOUR AS YOUR
CLOTHES CENTER JACKSON THINKING
WITHOUT OBJECTION WE MOVE THIS
ITEM TO THE SUSPENSE FIVE.
MEMBERS THE NEXT HOT ITEM FOR
SURJECTION IS ELEVEN NINETY SIX.
GOOD MORNING A AGAIN MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS THIS IS A MEASURE
THAT AUTHORIZES INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE VICTIMS OF IDENTITY THEFT.
TO SEEK JUDICIAL REMEDY IN CASES
WHERE STOLEN PERSONAL
IDENTIFYING INFORMATION IS USED
IN PUBLIC BUSINESS AYE DAN AYE
ENTITY FILINGS.
THE DAMAGING CONSEQUENCES OF
IDENTITY THEFT CAN LAST LONGER
FAR LONGER BY AFTER THE INITIAL
THEFT OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
INCLUDING BY ILLEGAL AND
UNAUTHORIZED USE OF STOLEN
PERSONAL INFORMATION. IN STATE
BUSINESS FILING SO THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DIRECTED AT DIRECTING HERE
TO ESTABLISH OR UPDATE A
REGISTERED BUSINESS ENTITY
WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE
VICTIM.
SO WE KNOW WITH THE EQUIFAX.
SITUATION AND SO MANY OTHER
INSTANCES WHERE IDENTITIES HAVE
BEEN STOLEN WE UP WE DON'T
NECESSARILY KNOW THE IMPACT AYE
IF THAT INFORMATION IS USED FOR
EXAMPLE TO START A BUSINESS.
OR TO RE DIRECT THE BUSINESS
UNTIL FOR EXAMPLE OF THE COMPANY
OR THE INDIVIDUAL IS ADVISED
THAT THERE IS A LEAN AGAINST
THEM FOR SAY A HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS OF UNPAID DEBT.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO LEGAL OR
ADMINISTRATIVE MECHANISM THAT
ALLOWS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL TO
SEEK REMEDY FOR FALSE BUSINESS
FILINGS UNDER THEIR STOLEN
IDENTITY AND THIS BILL CREATES
AN APPROPRIATE MECHANISM IN OUR
SHOULD.
SYSTEM
TO ENSURE IMPARTIAL EXPERT IN
EXPEDITIOUS RESOLUTION OF THESE
ILLEGAL USES OF PERSONAL
IDENTITY.
AND NOT ONLY IS JUDICIAL REMEDY
MOST APPROPRIATE FOR THESE CASES
IT IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE THAN
ALTERNATIVES IMPLEMENTING IT
ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDY WOULD BE
COSTLY AND DIFFICULT TO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE.
WHICH DOES NOT HAVE THE
CAPABILITY TO ADMINISTER A
HEARING WITH THE REQUIRED
SAFEGUARDS TO ENSURE THE
VALIDITY OF THIRD PARTY REQUESTS
FROM ENDING PUBLIC RECORDS.
SO AS THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
STATES THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL CAN
IMPOSE.
CAN IMPLEMENT THE JUDICIAL FORM.
OF ESTABLISHED BY THIS BILL WITH
ONLY MINOR IN ABSORBABLE COSTS
ADDITIONALLY THE SECRETARY OF
STATE HAS VERIFIED.
BUT TO US THAT IT CAN ALSO
IMPLEMENT THIS BILL WITH MINOR
IN ABSORBABLE COST SO WE ALREADY
HAVE IN EFFECT IN EXISTENCE IN
OUR JUDICIAL PROCESS WAYS THAT
WE CAN HAVE A RELEASE OF LIENS
AND RELIGIOUS. A RELEASE OF
OTHER DOCUMENTS THIS WOULD BE
JUST SIMPLY WE WOULD ADD THIS
GIVEN THE FACT THAT RIGHT NOW WE
AREN'T SEEING THAT MANY.
BUT AS WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AND
AS I ENTITIES HAVE COME FORWARD
OFTEN RELUCTANTLY TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THEIR INFORMATION OUR
INFORMATION HAS BEEN HACKED IN
IDENTITY STOLEN.
WE CAN SET UP THIS THIS SYSTEM.
I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE ANALYSIS
SPECULATES THAT POTENTIALLY
SIGNIFICANT COST MAY BE INCURRED
BY OUR COURT SYSTEM FOR AN
UNKNOWN NUMBER OF FILINGS
AUTHORIZED BY THE BILL. BUT AS
NOTED IN THE SENATE JUDICIARY IN
AT A COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. IN
TWENTY FIFTEEN THE SECRETARY OF
STATE OF STATE'S OFFICE FOUND
EIGHT CASES OF THESE BUSINESS
FILINGS IT'S OUR HOPE THERE
WON'T BE A WHOLE LOT OF THEM BUT
TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN
PREPARE. AND ADOPT AND ADAPT
INTO OUR EXISTING SYSTEM.
THIS VERY MINOR ACTUALLY MINOR
ADJUSTMENT TO THIS.
WE BELIEVE THAT THAT THE ANNUAL
TOTAL COST WOULD BE ABOUT TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE
COURT SYSTEM.
SO A WE WE BELIEVE AND THE
REASON I BROUGHT THIS BILL IS TO
ESTABLISH AN EFFECTIVE AND
APPROPRIATE MECHANISM TO HAVE. A
PROTECT INDIVIDUALS HARMED IN IN
THIS WAY FROM IDENTITY THEFT AND
WITH THAT I WOULD. RESPECTFULLY
I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THIS
MEASURE AS I UNDERSTAND GOES TO
SUSPENSE THANK YOU WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
FINANCE NO FILE. COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE.
FEARING THAT SENATOR JACKSON'S
ARE TOO CLOSE THANK YOU ARE.
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT THAT. WE
OFTEN TAKE A AND SPECULATE ABOUT
WHAT COSTS ARE GOING TO BE I
THINK IN THIS SITUATION THE
COSTS REALLY ARE MINIMAL WILL
USE AN EXISTING SYSTEM JUDICIAL
COUNCIL PREPARE FORM.
THEY HIT THE HEARING ON THIS
COULD BE VERY LIMITED THAT THE
COURTS HAVE EXPERIENCE IN
ADDRESSING SIMILAR KINDS OF
ISSUES.
AND IT WOULD LIKE TO TRY TO NIP
THIS IN THE BUD BEFORE IT
HAPPENS TO DISCOURAGE IS KIND OF
BEHAVIOR WHERE PEOPLE WILL KNOW
THAT.
THIS REMEDY DOES EXIST AND
HOPEFULLY REDUCE THE
POSSIBILITIES THAT WILL OCCUR.
THANK YOU AYE WITHOUT OBJECTION
WILL THIS ITEM TO THE SUSPENSE
FILE MOVING TO HEAR S. B. TWENTY
SIXTY.
BOTH SIXTY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS THIS IS A A MEASURE. OF
THAT IS A AN OMNIBUS FIRE
PREVENTION IN FORESTRY
MANAGEMENT BILL.
THAT IS DESIGNED TO PROMOTE THE
LONG TERM FOREST HEALTH AND
WILDFIRE RESILIENCY THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
DURING THIS PAST YEAR AS WE ALL
KNOW CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCE THE
LARGEST AND MOST DESTRUCTIVE
WILDFIRE SEASON IN ITS HISTORY.
THERE WERE NEARLY NINE THOUSAND
WILD. IGNITED ACROSS THE STATE
BURNED OVER ONE POINT TWO
MILLION ACRES OF LAND DESTROYED
MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED STRUCTURES. AND KILLED
AT LEAST FORTY FOUR PEOPLE WHEN
YOU ADD THAT TO THE. THE DEBRIS
FLOW THAT OCCURRED IN JANUARY
RIGHT AFTER THESE FIRES.
THERE WERE AT LEAST SIXTY SEVEN
PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES.
.
FIVE OF CALIFORNIA'S MOST
DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRES ON RECORD
OCCURRED IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
INCLUDING THE THOMAS FIRE WITH
WHICH I HAVE A PERSONAL OF BOTH
THE PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE WHICH BROUGHT A
BURNED WHOLLY WITHIN MY DISTRICT
IN DECEMBER.
ARE ALMOST UNHEARD OF IN THE
STATE IT IS NOW THE LARGEST
WILDFIRE EVER RECORDED IN
CALIFORNIA. IT BURNED FOR FORTY
DAYS.
SCORCHED A CLOSE TO TWO HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY TWO THOUSAND ACRES.
AND TOOK UP OF FOUR HUNDRED AND
FORTY SQUARE MILES OF CALIFORNIA.
UNFORTUNATELY TWENTY SEVENTEEN
DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AN
ABNORMALITY TO THE CONTRARY.
MOST OF CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST
WILDFIRES HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN
THE PAST THIRTY YEARS CHANGING
CLIMATE PATTERNS. HAVE MADE OUR
STATE MORE VULNERABLE TO
WILDFIRE WITH MASSIVE TREE DIE
OFFS TO THE YEARS OF DROUGHT IN
WIDESPREAD INSECT INFECTIONS.
YEAR ROUND FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS.
AND CRITICAL LEVELS OF FUELS
ACCUMULATION ALL COMBINING TO
CREATE THE SEVERE FIRE RISKS
INDEED THE NATIONAL INTERAGENCY
FIRE CENTER'S PREDICTIVE OUTLOOK
FOR TWENTY EIGHTEEN. IS
FORECASTING IT AGAIN ABOVE
NORMAL LARGE FIRE POTENTIAL IN
CALIFORNIA DUE TO THE
PERSISTENCE AND TRY FUELS
FREQUENT OFFSHORE WINDS. AND
GENERALLY UNFAVORABLE WEATHER
WHY DO I MENTION THIS BECAUSE AS
WE LOOK AT WHAT THE COST IS OF
DEALING WITH.
THE PROCESSES IN THE EFFORTS
THAT CUT OCCUR. THE RUBRIC OF
THIS BILL.
WE KNOW THAT THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONTINUATION
OF THESE FIRES UNCHECKED WITH
PROPER PROCEDURES SO THAT WE CAN
INTERRUPT THESE. A LOT FOREST
LIFE CYCLES SO THAT WE CAN TAKE
PROACTIVE STEPS WITH BETTER PROP.
MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES THAT WE
RECOGNIZE.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DEALING WITH
THIS CLIMATE CHANGE.
THERE'S QUITE A LOT THAT WE DID
PACK IN THIS BILL BUT THIS BILL
IS DESIGNED TO BETTER ENABLE
FEDERAL STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES
TO IT A ENGAGE IN COLLABORATIVE
FORESTRY MANAGEMENT.
CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND MANAGERS
TO MITIGATE THESE WILDFIRE RISKS
WE NEED TO MITIGATE THESE RISKS
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T AND WE LOOK
AT THE HIGH PRICE WE PAID. OVER
ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS LAST YEAR
INSURED LOSSES HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN RESPONSE
COST AN ESTIMATED A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY BILLION DOLLAR HIT TO OUR
STATE'S ECONOMY. AND OF COURSE
THE ULTIMATE COST ALMOST SEVENTY
LIVES LOST IN THESE FIRES IN
SUBSEQUENT MUDSLIDES. SO IN
LIGHT OF THE STAGGERING FIGURES
THE ESTIMATED COSTS AROUND TWO
MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR FOR CAL
FIRE TO IMPLEMENT THIS BILL.
SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY GOOD
INVESTMENT IN THE STATES IN THE
STATE'S.
OF RECOVERY AND OR THE USE OF
OUR FISCAL RESOURCES
PARTICULARLY IF THROUGH
PROACTIVE FORESTRY MANAGEMENT WE
CAN AVOID THESE MASSIVE COSTS IN
THE FUTURE. WITHOUT WITHOUT
TODAY I HAVE WITH ME CRAIG

PROPERTY DAMAGE FOR THE
WILDFIRES IN OCTOBER TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ALONE
EXCEEDED NINE BILLION DOLLARS.
AND THE STATE EXPECT
APPROXIMATELY SEVEN HUNDRED
MILLION FIGHTING FIRES BETWEEN

IN TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY IN THE SIERRA

THANK YOU VISION AWARENESS AND

THANK YOU CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF

CROSS JURISDICTIONS ON PUBLICLY
AND PRIVATELY AND.
AS ONE THE SECOND THE ASTOUNDING
NUMBERS AND SENATOR JACKSON'S US
OFFERED YOU I THINK THE
CONVERSATION HERE NEEDS TO BE
HOW MUCH IS S. B. TWELVE SIXTY
GOING TO SAVE CALIFORNIANS
VERSUS HOW MUCH IT'S GOING TO
COST US.
KNOWN.
THE THE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
ABOUT SENATE BILL TWELVE SIXTY
IS A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK. AT FIRE
PREVENTION FIRE POLICY.
AND THE NEED TO EXPAND
APPROPRIATE FIRE USE ALL ON THE
SAME BILL THAT'S THE WAY WE NEED
TO APPROACH THIS ISSUE AT
SCIENCE BASED. IN ITS NOT PIECE
MEALING SECTIONS WHERE WE LOOK
UP FIVE YEARS FROM NOW WE DON'T
SEE ANYTHING HAS CHANGED. THE
SENATORS ADDRESSING ALL THE
ASPECTS OF THE FIRE PROBLEM.
AND SO THIS ROUND IS IT CRITICAL
THAT WE LOOK AT ALL PIECES OF IT.
THE.
.
SECTION ON I'LL JUST HIT TWO
THREE SECTIONS OF SAFETY ELEMENT
SECTION IN THAT IT REFERS TO
COUNTY GENERAL PLANS AND FIRE
HAZARD PLANNING AND INCREASES.
THE NEED FOR US TO ALL TAKE THAT
PIECE VERY SERIOUSLY NOT JUST IN
CONSIDERATION OF FIRE HAZARD
PLANNING BUT ACTUALLY
IMPLEMENTING. CALIFORNIA OP OURS
SUBSTANTIAL FIRE MANAGEMENT
GUIDANCE THAT'S ALREADY WRITTEN
IT'S SCIENCE BASE.
AND IT'S A KEY PIECE OF GENERAL
PLANNING
IT NEEDS TO BE APPROPRIATELY
APPLIED WE DON'T WANT TO BE
BURNING ANYMORE TOWNS DOWN IN
THEIR SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION IN
THERE THAT WILL HELP US PREVENT
THAT FROM HAPPENING IN THOSE
COSTS ASSOCIATED WHEN WE DON'T.
FOLLOWS A GOOD THE GOOD ADVICE
IN THAT GUIDANCE DOCUMENT.
WE ALSO BELIEVE COST HIM FOR HIS
RESILIENCE.
PROTECTION WATER QUALITY AND
THAT DAMAGE THAT HAPPENS WHEN
HIGH INTENSITY UNCHARACTERISTIC
WILDFIRE HITS HIS LANDSCAPES
IT'S ASTOUNDING LEVELS OF
IMPACTS AND COSTS TO
CALIFORNIANS.
COMMUNITY FIRE SAFETY AND FIRE
PREVENTION AS ANOTHER PIECE OF
THE BILL THAT ADDRESSES. HELPING
COMMUNITY MEMBERS BOTH.
FOLLOW THE CC AND ARE IS A
DEFENSIBLE SPACE CLEARANCE
REQUIREMENTS BUT ALSO DOING
ADDED A COMMUNITY LEVELS ARE NOT.
GOING NEIGHBORHOOD MEAN GOING
HOUSE BY HOUSE BUT WE'RE LOOKING
AT ALL COMMUNITIES TO BUILD FIRE
RESILIENCE THEIR.
AMONG THE OTHER ISSUE IS AND
WHAT'S TO ME IS THE MOST
INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE BILL
IS TALKING ABOUT FIRE PREVENTION
TO INSULT OF TALKING ABOUT
APPROPRIATE EXPANDED CONTROLLED
BURNING. THAT'S ONE OF THE
PRIMARY TOOLS TO HELP BUILD
FORCE RESILIENCE.
IT IT'S BOTTOM.
BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
GET ACROSS HERE'S AS TWENTY FIVE
YEARS OF FIRE SCIENCE.
THAT IS BASICALLY SCREAMING IN
THE RESEARCH FOR US TO LOOK AT
THE FACT THAT SERVICE AND LATTER
FEW.
SMALL TREES ARE
A BIG CONTRIBUTOR TO THIS THESE
FIRES AT
THE HAPPENING SO SPENDING MONEY
THERE IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
THING TO DO.
AND AND PART OF THIS INVOLVES
INCREASING THE IDEA. AIR
MONITORING THE GOES IN
CONJUNCTION WITH INCREASE
pABLE TO ADVISE COMMUNITIES
WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH
FIRE MANAGERS AND HAIR
REGULATORS TO GET SCIENCE SPACE
MONITORING DATA.
MODELING AND SATELLITE IMAGERY
TO LET COMMUNITIES DOWNWIND.
WHEN THERE IS A PLANNED EVENT
WHAT BOTH WHY IT'S HAPPENING AND
WHAT THEY CAN DO TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES.
THE LAST PIECE OF PAUL MENTIONED
THAT IS IT HAS HAS BEEN
ASTOUNDING TO WORK IN THIS TOWN.
ENTITY THAT WE CALL THE FIRE YOU
PARTNERSHIP THAT INCLUDES CAL
FIRE AND FOR SERVICE HEARING
ABOUT A CONSERVANCY BUNCH NGOS
NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESCRIBED
FIRE COUNCIL'S. ALL FOCUSED ON
INCREASING APPROPRIATE FIRE FROM
MULTIPLE RESOURCE OBJECTIVES
EXPANDING FIRE USE INAPPROPRIATE

NORMAL FOR US UNFORTUNATELY SO.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
AND AGAIN HANK YOU TO. OUR
OTHER SENATORS WHO HAVE WERE
LITERALLY CUT OFF CARD AND
TRYING TO. MANAGE THIS AWFUL.
BOB CATASTROPHE SO WHAT THANK
YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS
AND IF WE WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE.
A VERY BRIEFLY THIS OF
THOUGHTFUL AND COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN IS THE. CHAIR OF THE.
.
LEGISLATIVE JOINT LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE ON EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT A WHEELED HEARINGS ON
THESE WILDFIRES LAST YEAR.
BANG THE GAVEL DOWN ON DECEMBER
FOURTH OF FEELING SOME RELIEF
THAT WOULD HAVE AT LEAST A FEW
MONTHS.
TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND.
WITHIN AN HOUR AND A HALF THE
THOMAS FIRE STARTED.
SO.
THIS IS VERY. IMPORTANT
PERSONALIZATION A TO ME IN A WAY
BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE
PERSONAL TO ALL OF US THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA CANNOT AFFORD. OF
THESE CERTAIN SITUATIONS IN THE
FUTURE AND THESE ARE NOT
SPECULATIVE COSTS THAT WE'RE
INCURRING WE NEED TO TAKE THE.
PREEMPTIVE PROACTIVE STEPS WE
CAN I DIDN'T MENTION WHICH HAVE
A HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION
DEAD TREES IN THE STATE.
THEY WOULD BE FUEL THAT WHICH
HAS BURNED UP A LIKE THE THE
THOMAS FIRED THAT WHEN IT
STARTED WAS BURNING AT THE RATE
OF AN ACRE. A SECOND.
BOB WE HAVE TO DO MORE TO
PROTECT OUR STATE THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT INVESTMENT I WOULD ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT THANK YOU
WITHOUT OBJECTION WHEN WILL THIS
ITEM TO THE SUSPENSE FILE.
MOVING ONTO THE NEXT ITEM
SENATOR JACKSON'S S. B. TWELVE
EIGHTY FOUR.
BUT THANK YOU OF.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS TODAY ARE PRESENT S. B.
TWELVE EIGHTY FOUR. IT IS A BILL
TO FIGHT DISCRIMINATION WITH
DATA.
A I RECOGNIZE HIS BILL IS A
SUSPENSE CANDIDATE BUT.
I WOULDLIKE TO HELP FOCUS YOU
IN YOUR CONSIDERATION ON THE
FACT THAT THE GOAL OF THIS BILL.
IS NOT LITIGATION WHICH YOU'LL
HEAR FROM THE OPPOSITION THE
CHAMBER WITH IT THAT.
SEC TENDS TO SEE EVERY ADVANCES
LITIGATION.
THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS TO GET
EMPLOYERS TO SELF CORRECT.
AND I THINK THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT SO DESPITE SIGNIFICANT
PROGRESS WE'VE MADE ON EQUAL PAY.
IT REMAINS A SIGNIFICANT AND
PERSISTENT.
AVERAGE
WITH A CALIFORNIA WOMEN LOSE A
COMBINED TOTAL OF MORE THAN
SEVENTY EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR IN LOST WAGES.
DUE TO THE PAY GAP THIS DOESN'T
JUST AFFECT WOMEN IN FAMILIES IT
HURTS OUR ENTIRE ECONOMY WHEN WE
LEAST SEVENTY EIGHT BILLION
DOLLARS ON THE TABLE THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE GO BACK OUT INTO OUR
COMMUNITIES. INTO THE GOODS AND
SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR STATE
OF BUSINESSES THIS BILL WOULD
REQUIRE THE PRIVATE COMPANIES OF
A HUNDRED EMPLOYEES OR MORE
SUBMIT A REPORT ANNUALLY TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
FAIR EMPLOYMENT HOUSING. WITH
INFORMATION ABOUT EMPLOYEE PAY
BROKEN DOWN BY GENDER RACE
ETHNICITY AND JOB CATEGORY.
FORMORE THAN FIFTY YEARS LARGE
COMPANIES HAVE SUBMITTED
DEMOCRATIC DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION ANNUALLY TO THE
FEDERAL AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR.
ENFORCING WORKPLACE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION LAWS
THE EQUAL EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES COMMISSION
E. OC
THIS IS NOT A NEW PROCESS.
THIS DATA THOUGH HAS HELPED
IDENTIFY PATTERNS OF EMPLOYMENT
SEGREGATION AND DISCRIMINATION.
RECOGNIZING THE PAY
DISCRIMINATION IS PERSISTENT AND
OFTEN HIDDEN FROM SIGHT A FEW
YEARS AGO THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED A
PROPOSED REVISION TO THIS. E. EO
ONE FORM THE IMPAIR EMPLOYER
INFORMATION REPORT TO INCLUDE
THE REPORTING OF DEBT PAY DATA
BY RACE AND GENDER BEGINNING IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
COMPANIES WERE GEARING UP FOR
THIS THIS WAS JUST AN ADDED SET
OF INFORMATION THAT WOULDN'T BE
REQUIRED AS INFORMATION'S BEEN
REQUIRED FOR THE LAST FIFTY
YEARS HOWEVER. IN AUGUST TWENTY
SEVENTEENTH FROM WERE
PREDICTABLY THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
ON THE THEORY THAT IF THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION WANTED THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION WAS GOING TO.
REJECTED.
THEY PUT A HALT TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS NEW RULE.
THIS MEASURE WILL ENSURE THAT
DESPITE SETBACKS AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL. THE IMPORTANT PAY DATA
WILL CONTINUE TO BE COMPLIED AN
AGGREGATED IN CALIFORNIA.
AND IN YOUR CONSIDERATION OF
THIS BILL IN ITS COSTI LET ME
JUST MAKE A COUPLE POINTS.
NOTHING IN THIS BILL STIPULATE
ANYTHING. A ABOUT SETTING UP A
TECHNOLOGICAL MECHANISM OR A
DATABASE FOR THIS DATA.
THIS SIMPLE THIS BILL IS SIMPLY
ABOUT THE FIRST STEP OF
COLLECTING THE DATA FROM
EMPLOYERS BECAUSE FIRST AND
FOREMOST THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
S. I'D MENTION FOR BUSINESSES TO
SELF CORRECT MANY BUSINESSES
DON'T REALIZE THAT THEY ARE
INDEED DISCRIMINATING ON THE
BASIS OF GENDER AND ETHNICITY
THISWILL GIVE THEM THE MATERIAL
THEY NEED. TO LOOK AND SEE WHAT
THEY'RE DOING TO LOOK IN THE
MIRROR AND TOOK CORRECT THEIR
BEHAVIOR IN IN ADDITION I
BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
WHAT THIS WOULD MEAN TO
CALIFORNIA. TO CLOSING ITS PAY
GAP THE WAGE GAP EXACT
SIGNIFICANT COST NOT JUST ON
FAMILIES IN OUR ECONOMY BUT ON
OUR GENERAL FUND HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IT MEANS LESS TAX
REVENUE INTO OUR STATE COFFERS.
AND GREATER COST TO THE PEOPLE
TO FUND SUPPORT SERVICES FOR
FAMILIES WHO CAN'T AFFORD FOOD
CHILDCARE OR HEALTHCARE AND FOR
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ULTIMATELY ALSO
LOSE THEIR HOUSING IN OUR LIVING
ON OUR STREETS.
IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IF WE CLOSE
THIS WAGE GAP THE POVERTY RATE
IN CALIFORNIA WOULD DECREASE BY
HALF.
IN REAL LIFE TERMS CLOSING THE
WAGE GAP WOULD TRANSLATE INTO A
NINE AND A HALF MONTHS MORE OF
WAGES. ON AVERAGE FOR FAMILIES
TO PAY FOR CHILDCARE. MORE THAN
FIVE AND A HALF ADDITIONAL
MONTHS OF RENT.
A OR MORE THAN FORTY EIGHT HOURS
ACCUSE ME FORTY EIGHT MORE WEEKS
OF FOOD FOR A MOTHER AND HER
FAMILY. IN THIS CONTEXT I WOULD
SUGGEST THAT THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ANNUAL PAY
DATA REPORT ARE COMPARATIVELY
SMALL COMPARED TO THE ENORMOUS
PROGRESS WE IS A STATE. COULD
ACHIEVE BY CLOSING THIS PAY GAP.
I HAVE WITH ME SHANNON SMITH
CROWLEY WITH THE A A UW ENRICO
YOSHIHARA WITH THE CALIFORNIA
EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS.
TO SAY A FEW WORDS IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL.
THANK YOU RESIDENTS SUPPORT
MORNING SHANNON SMITH CROWLEY
REPRESENTING AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN
FOR CALIFORNIA AND A MEMBER OF
THE STRONGER CALIFORNIA
COALITION.
FOCUSING ON STATE BECAUSE
SOMEONE TO LOOK TO A.
SO LITTLE BIT ON THE ACT.
FORM AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
A IS THE SENATOR SAID THERE
WERE SO EXTENSIVE.
WORK DURING THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION TO LOOK AT THESE-ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS AND THE COST.
.
THERE WAS A THERE WERE MULTIPLE
OF BROWN'S OF PUBLIC COMMENT IN
THE PROCESS THAT.
MAKE CLEAR THAT IN ESTIMATING
THE BURDEN OF BOTH EMPLOYERS AND
FOR THE EEOC.
THAT THIS WAS ESSENTIALLY MINOR
OBSERVABLE BECAUSE THIS WAS
BASED ON DATA FROM THE NATIONAL
ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.
A LOT OF THE AND THIS ADDITIONAL
DATA IS GOING TO COME FROM THE
W. TO.
IT'S NOT REINVENTING THE WHEEL
ARTWORK WERE MORE MOVING THINGS
ALONG.
AND THIS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED
EVENTUALLY.
.
CAN THIS DOES NOT REQUIRE THE
AGENCIES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER
THAN COLLECTING THE DATA SO WE
CAN WORK WELL THE BILL'S ONE
SUSPENSE DIDN'T CLARIFY THAT.
.
I WANTED TO ADD IN TERMS OF THE
IMPORTANCE OF CLOSING THE PAY
GAP FOR CALIFORNIA.
THE MOST RECENT DATA SHOWED.
WHERE WE WERE THINKING THE
DOWNLOAD BUTTON PICK UP WAS
GOING TO CLOSE IN FIFTY YEARS?
IT'S NOW A HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS.
SO THE IMPACT IN THE STATE
BUDGET WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT
MEDI CAL THIRTY PERCENT OF OF
THE POP STATE'S POPULATION ON
MEDI CAL HOW MANY OF THOSE
PEOPLE.
ARE WORKING ACCOUNT WORSE CAL
FRAZIER WICK PERSON CERVICAL
CANCER TREATMENT PROGRAM
SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE.
FORTY PERCENT OF CALIFORNIA
FAMILIES THE WAY WOMEN ARE
EITHER THE SOLE OR THE PRIMARY
BREADWINNER SO THIS AGAIN WILL
MAKE A BIG IMPACT ON STATE
BECAUSE.
WE LOOK AT THIS AS.
YOUR ANNUAL PHYSICAL YOU MAY BE
FEELING FINE YOU GO WHEN YOU
FIND OUT YOU CUTS HIGH
CHOLESTEROL MAY BE HIGH HIM
BLOOD PRESSURE YOU BLOOD SUGARS
ON THE EDGE.
IS NOT TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO.
BUT YOU CAN'T ATTACK THE PROBLEM
IN ADDRESS THE PROBLEM UNTIL YOU
GOT THAT DATA.
THE STATUS QUO IS UNACCEPTABLE
WE NEED TO CONTINUE.
THE EFFORTS THAT WE HAD AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL AND BE ABLE TO
FULLY ANALYZE SO THAT EMPLOYERS
CAN WE CAN STEP ON THE SCALE SEE
WHERE THEY ARE.
BUT ALSO FOR. THE YOU KNOW THIS
IS NOT FAIR FOR TAXPAYERS.
TO BE SUBSIDIZING THESE PROGRAMS
WHEN REALLY. EMPLOYER SHOULD BE
PAYING FARE WAGES WE ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT WHEN YOU LOOK
CONCERNS ON THE SUSPENSE FILE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU DOESN'T WIN
ASSISTANCE SUPPORT MISTER
CHAIRMAN BIRDS MARIE GEHRY AS
YOU ARE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS ASSOCIATION.
NOW MUCH OUT I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT.
FEDERAL AGENCIES ARE ALSO.
HE REPORTS WHICH
INTO THE BURDEN NOT ANALYSIS AT
THE FEDERAL LEVEL SO WE KNOW
THAT ORGANIZATIONS ENTITIES HAVE
BEEN DOING IS REPORTS IT WAS NOT
A SIGNIFICANT BURDEN AND AGAIN.
THE OBJECTIVE THE MAIN OBJECTIVE
IS ALWAYS REALLY BEEN TO ALLOW
EMPLOYERS TO PUT THIS
INFORMATION TOGETHER IN THE
FIRST PLACE AND SEE WHERE THERE
ARE WAYS DISPARITIES. IN SOME
CASES THE WAY DISPARITIES MAY BE
JUSTIFIED IN OTHER CASES ON A
LOT OF EMPLOYERS OFTEN FIND THIS.
THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR
THE WAGE DISPARITY AND THIS
ALLOWS THEM A SENATOR DR
MENTIONED TO SELF CORRECT THIS
WILL MINIMIZE LIABILITY THERE
SHOULD BE FEWER LAWSUITS BECAUSE
AGAIN. THE I THINK THE BEST WAY
TO COMBAT THE THE GENDER WAGE
GAP IS FOR EMPLOYERS ARE JUST
LOOK AT THEIR OWN DATA AND SEE
WHERE THEY NEED TO MAKE CHANGES
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR WORKERS
ARE BEING PAID FAIRLY. SO.
WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT WHEN
THIS COMES UP ON THE SUSPENSE
FILED. BEAUTICIAN AWARENESS
ISN'T SUPPORT THIS A BEACON WITH
THE ACLU OF CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT.
WHICH DUGGAR WITH CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION ALSO IN SPORT.
IF YOU WIN THIS IS IN OPPOSITION
TO HER FOR
.
THE MORNING OR CURTIS SOME AFTER
THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY TODAY
WE ARE CONCERNED WITH THE FISCAL
IMPACT OF THIS BILL IN THE
SIGNIFICANT LITIGATION AND COSTS
THAT IT WILL BE TO FOR EMPLOYERS
AND FOR THE STATE. AND IT WILL
CREATE THE FALSE IMPRESSION OF
WHICH DISCRIMINATION UNEQUAL PAY
WHERE NONE EXISTS
AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW THE
CULT.
HOWEVER WE DON'T SUPPORT THIS
BILL BECAUSE WE FEEL THAT IT IS
AN ADDITIONAL REPORTING REQUIRE.
EMPLOYERS IT'S ACTUALLY NOT
GOING TO SHOW THE INFORMATION
GOING TO SHOW THE FACT THAT
THERE IS UNLAWFUL UNEQUAL PAY OR
PAY DISPARITY YOU DO WANT P.
DISPARITIES YOU WANT EMPLOYER
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN WITH YOU
WHO HAVE. AND SHOWN LOYALTY TO
YOU WHO HAVE MERIT ALL OF THOSE
REASONS TO PAY THEM MORE WHAT
THIS DOES IS IT COMPARES
EMPLOYEES WITHIN ONE JOB TITLE
YOU HAVE LET'S SAY A STAFFER WHO
HAS THE SAME JOB TITLE IS
ANOTHER STAFFER. ONCE EFFORTS
BEEN THERE FOR TWO WEEKS ONE
STAFFERS BEEN THERE FOR TEN
YEARS YOU WANT TO AND REWARD THE
STAFFER THAT HAS BEEN THERE FOR
TEN YEARS BY PAYING THEM MORE.
HOWEVER WHAT THIS BILL WILL DO
IS IT WILL NOT EFFECTUALLY
CAPTURE THE THAT AGGREGATE DATA
UNDER S. B. TWELVE EIGHTY FOUR
TO ADEQUATELY DEFEND AGAINST THE
UNDUE CRITICISM. I'M CREATING A
FALSE IMPRESSION OF WAY
DISPARITY WHERE NONE EXISTS
ADDITIONALLY WE FEEL THAT THIS
IS M. PREMATURE THEY PAY EQUITY
TASK FORCE IS GOING TO BE
IMPLEMENTED. ADDITIONAL M.
REPORTING MANDATED AND MANDATES
ON EMPLOYERS AND WE FEEL TAT
THIS IS PREMATURE AND SHOULD
WAIT UNTIL THAT COMES OUT AND
THEN M. ADDITIONALLY IT WILL
AGAIN GIVE THE FALSE IMPRESSION
OF WAGE DISPARITY WE HAVE ASK
THE. MEMBER TO AND HELP US TO
DEAL WITH THE.
SO ARE THE PUBLIC SHAMING
ASPECT OF THIS BILL THERE HAS
BEEN AMENDMENTS TO ADDRESS THAT
HOWEVER IT SAYS PRIOR TO
LITIGATION MEANING THAT ANYONE
COULD FILE A FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT.
AND THEN ALLOW THE DIR OR THE
DEPARTMENT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT
HOUSING TO THEN RELEASE THIS
INFORMATION ON LEAD TO PUBLIC
SHAMING OF EMPLOYERS. AMEND FOR
THE ADDITIONALLY FINALLY AT LAST
NOTE IS THAT WE ASK FOR INTENT
LANGUAGE TO SHOW THAT THIS.
PURPOSE OF THIS BILL IS TO NOT
LEAD TO LITIGATION BUT ACTUALLY
I'M JUST PLAIN DATA COLLECTION
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME
TODAY. THANK YOU.
FISHER WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
WELL MISTER CHAIR CHRIS MCKAY WE
ON BEHALF OF A NUMBER OF CLIENTS
A. INCLUDING CALIFORNIA
AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION AND. I
WANT TO START BY AGREEING WITH
SENATOR JACKSON'S EARLIER
COMMENT THAT THERE IS GREAT
VALUE TO CLOSE THE WAGE GAP AND
I THINK THAT'S WHY.
MANY IN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY
IF YOU LOOK AT PAGE THREE OF
YOUR ANALYSIS WORK DILIGENTLY
WITH THE SENATOR. ON S. B. THREE
FIFTY EIGHT WHERE WE CHANGE THE
STANDARD FROM EQUAL PAY FOR
EQUAL WORK TO. EQUAL PAY FOR
SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR WORK.
THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT WE DON'T
AGREE WITH THE APPROACH THAT
SHE'S TAKEN WITH THIS BILL TO
ENSURE COMPLIANCE.
IF YOU IN THE TECH SECTOR FOR
EXAMPLE YOU WOULD HAVE READ IN
THE CHRONICLE THE MURKY AND
OTHERS IN THE FALL AFTER THE
GOVERNOR SIGNED S. B. THREE
FIFTY EIGHT. QUITE A NUMBER OF.
PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES CAME
OUT AND NOTICED THAT HEY THEY
COULD NOT A HUNDRED PERCENT
JUSTIFY SOME PAY INSTANCES AND
SO WHAT THEY HAD TO DO WA.
RAISE THOSE INDIVIDUALS I THINK
THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH
INCENTIVE WITH THE THREAT OF
LITIGATION UNDER SENATE BILL
THREE FIFTY EIGHT. BUT TO
WARRANT COMPLIANCE AND I
UNDERSTAND FROM EARLIER COMMENTS
THAT'S THE SENATORS GOAL IS NOT
LITIGATION. BUT HOWEVER THAT IS
THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCERN THAT WE
HAVE WITH.
THIS BILL AND IN PARTICULAR IN
ADDITION TO THE INTENT LANGUAGE
THAT MISS CURTIS. A SUGGESTED WE
ACTUALLY ASKED FOR AN EXPLICIT
STATEMENT THAT ESSENTIALLY SAID.
A COMPLIANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS NEW BILL WOULD PRECLUDE
ANY LAWSUIT UNDER LABOR CODE
SECTION ELEVEN NINETY SEVEN
POINT FIVE WHICH IS CALIFORNIA'S
EQUAL PAY ACT HOWEVER. OF THE
AUTHOR HAS DECLINED THAT SO
THAT'S WHAT GIVES US RISE FOR
CONCERN AND THAT THERE IS NO
PROTECTION AB ADEQUATE
PROTECTION UNDER THIS BILL FROM
POTENTIAL.
LITIGATION THREATS FOR THOSE
REASONS WE ARE OPPOSED THANK YOU
MISTER CHECK YOUR ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
I CALL RICE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION AND WE TO OUR POST
THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING MATTHEW ALL OF
WESTERN GROWERS ASSOCIATION WERE
ALSO POST.

QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE.
THING HEARING MANSON WHICH ARE
TOO CLOSE SURE I'D LIKE TO
ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THESE.
STATEMENTS.
THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET A
THIRTY THOUSAND FOOT VIEW SO
COMPANIES CAN SELF EVALUATE.
SELF EVALUATE.
.
BUT I IT WAS.
A REAL.
PLEASURE TO WORK WITH THESE
VARIOUS GROUPS AND CREATING S.
B. THREE FIFTY EIGHT.
BUT IT DOESN'T STOP THERE. WE
NEED TO KEEP MAKING SURE THE
COMPANIES UNDERSTAND THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES AND LOOK IN THE
MIRROR TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
COMPLYING.
THERE WILL BE NO FALSE
IMPRESSION OF INIQUITY.
S. B. THREE FIFTY EIGHT TALKS
ABOUT SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR
WORKING WITH THE CHAMBER AND
OTHER GROUPS WE WERE ABLE TO
IDENTIFY.
THE FACT THAT THERE ARE
SITUATIONS WHERE PAY SHOULD HAVE
A DIFFERENTIAL THEY MENTION THE
FACT SOMEONE HAS LONGEVITY TO
COMPANIES SOMEONE HAS GREATER
EXPERIENCE SOMEONE HAS GREATER
PRODUCTIVITY. THESE ARE ALL
LEGITIMATE OF CONCERNS THOSE ARE
NOT BEING CHALLENGED ACTUALLY
THE ONLY THING THAT THIS BILL
REALLY DOES IS IT FORCES
COMPANIES TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE
COMPLYING IN IT IS A VOLUNTARY
PROGRAM SO THE NOTION THAT.
THERE'S NO OTHER ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISM IS REALLY KIND OF
FOOLISH.
THAT YOU CHECK A BOX SO YES
I'VE COMPLIED THEREFORE YOU
KANSEN.
WHAT WE WANTED TO HEAR IN THE
GOAL HERE IS TO MAKE SURE?
THAT COMPANIES UNDERSTAND THE
LAW AND THAT THEY'D LOOK AND
EVALUATE THEMSELVES THIS WAS A
MEASURE THIS E. E. O. ONE FORM
WHICH WE ARE USING. WAS
DEVELOPED OVER THE COURSE OF
YEARS BY THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION BRINGING IN ALL
THE STAKEHOLDERS THE SKY IS NOT
FALLING THIS IS JUST A SIMPLE
ADDITIONAL MEASURES.
AND METRIC THAT WE ARE ASKING.
A QUOTE FOR THAT.
AT THE VARIOUS COMPANIES COMPLY
WITH IN DETERMINING WHETHER OR
NOT
THEY ARE.
MEETING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF
S. B. THREE FIFTY EIGHT WHICH
THE CHAMBER AND OTHER BUSINESS
GROUPS AND THOSE OF US HERE IN

MAKE HAPPEN. THAT'S WHAT THE

ITS CITY AND SJR TWENTY FOUR
IT'S A RESOLUTION CALLING ON

HOLDINGS.
CONGRESS PASSED AN ASSAULT
WEAPONS BAN AS PART OF THE
VIOLENT CRIME CONTROL AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT ACT IN NINETEEN
NINETY FOUR BUT AS WE KNOW IT
EXPIRED IN TWO THOUSAND AND FOUR.
THIS MEASURE CALLS ON CONGRESS
AND THE PRESIDENT TO REAUTHORIZE
THE FEDERAL ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN.
IT FURTHER ASK CALPERS TO FOLLOW
CAL STIRS LEAD IN ENGAGING WITH
COMPANIES. WHO PRODUCERS SELL
FIREARMS WITH AN EYE TOWARD
THESE COMPANIES WITHDRAWING FROM
THAT MARKET? IF THAT'S NOT
POSSIBLE SJR TWENTY FOUR CALLS
ON PURRS TO DIVEST FROM THOSE
COMPANIES ITSELF.
I UNDERSTAND THE COMMITTEE HAS A
FLAG THIS ITEM FOR SUSPENSE AND

.
SAID FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN FIFTY SEVEN.
THIS IS A SIMPLE MEASURE THAT
WOULD UTILIZE THE EXISTING
HONORING VETERANS LICENSE PLATE
AND ADD AN OPTION.
FOR NEW DESCRIPTIVE LINE SIMPLY
STATING VETERAN.
IN NINETEEN NINETY TWO THE
ORIGINAL VETERAN PLATE WAS
ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE FUNDING
FOR THE COUNTY VETERANS SERVICE
OFFICES.
THESE VETERANS SERVICE OFFICE
OFFICES ARE CRITICAL IN
ESTABLISHING CONTACT FOR
VETERANS. RESIDING IN THE
COMMUNITY AND TO DRAW UPON
FEDERAL FUNDING TO RELIEVE THE
STATE OF SOME ASSISTANCE COSTS.
CBS DOES HAVE BROUGHTNINE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS IN NEW FEDERAL BENEFITS
TO CALIFORNIA VETERANS
SINCE FISCAL YEAR TWENTY FIFTEEN
SIXTEEN.
THE AUTHORIZATION FOR COUNTIES
TO ESTABLISH THESE OFFICES AND
FOR THE PLATE PASSED OUT OF THE
LEGISLATURE WITH OVERWHELMING
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT.
TOWARD.
A TWENTY TWELVE BILL WAS
INTRODUCED IN ATTEMPT TO EXPAND
THE APPEAL OF THE PLATE TO NON
VETERANS WISHING TO SHOW THEIR
SUPPORT FOR THE VETERAN
COMMUNITY. THE NEW VERSION OF
THE PLATE READS HONORING
VETERANS.
MY MEASURE WOULD RETAIN THE
HONORING VETERANS DESCRIPTION
WALL SERVED BY ADDING THE
DESCRIPTIVE TERM VETERAN.
UNIQUE TO THEM. ARTICLES TO
BROADEN THE FEEL OF THE PLACE.
TO LIVE ACTUAL VETERANS WHILE
RETAINING THE ABILITY OF NON
VETERANS TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT.
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE
SERVED THEIR COUNTRY.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY OVER TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND VETERAN HONORING
VETERAN PLATES.
REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA TODAY.
SINCE BOTH VETERANS AND NON
VETERANS CAN UTILIZE A
SPECIALIZED PLATES ALREADY IN
CIRCULATION IT WOULD BE
REDUNDANT TO CREATE A NEW PLATE
PROGRAM. COOLEY DIFFERENCE HERE
IS A SINGLE WORD VETERAN.
OR HONORING VETERANS.
OTHER VETERANS WHO WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE VETERAN
PLATE WOULD HAVE TO MEET THE
SAME CRITERIA. AS THOSE WHO
ELECT TO RECEIVE THE VETERAN
DESIGNATION. ON THEIR DRIVER'S
LICENSE OR IDENTIFICATION CARD
ADOPTED BY A. B..
NINE THIRTY FIVE BY FRAZIER IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN.

ARE NOT AWARE THAT THEY ARE

THIS INVESTMENT.
WHILE IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT
THE ALLOCATION THAT THE
LEGISLATURE PREVIOUSLY PASSED
THE ONE POINT FIVE BILLION FOR
NO PLACE LIKE HOME. IS IN I'VE
BEEN DELAYED DUE TO A COURT
ISSUE THE BENEFIT OF ITS DELAY
IS THAT OUR HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT.
HAS BEGUN TO PUT INTO PLACE.
THEY ALREADY HAD EXISTING
PROGRAMS BUT THERE WAS NOT YET
THE STAFFING LEVELS WHERE THE
ABILITY TO GET THE MONEY OUT THE

THAT I THINK MANY OF US ARE
CONFIDENT WILL BE RESOLVED.
THIS AUGMENTATION OF TWO BILLION

THE ANTICIPATED VOTER APPROVAL

PARTS OF LIFE'S NEEDS
A COUPLE THAT WITH LARGE SCALE
DISINVESTMENT WE SEEN IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA SINCE TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT.
SIXTY PERCENT OF ALL FUNDING
