FIVE ONE THANK YOU FOR
YOUR PATIENCE EVER YOU WANT.
WILL THEY WILL FOLLOW WITH THE
OTHER TWO BILLS [inaudible]
SOUNDS GREAT.
IS THIS AB.
TWENTY THIRTY TO THIRTY SEVEN
I'M SORRY.
YES I JUST WANT TO SHARE
PROPERLY AGENDA.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR VICE CHAIR
I GUESS IN MEMBERS AB TWO THIRTY
SEVEN WHAT EXPAND ACCESS TO SAFE
FOR CONSUMER LOANS BY RAISING
THE UPPER LIMIT OF LOANS
AVAILABLE UNDER THE PILOT
PROGRAM FOR INCREASED ACCESS TO
RESPONSIBLE SMALL DOLLAR LOANS
SAYS SEVENTY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS.
CURRENTLY MANY AND BAYNTON
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES LACK
ACCESS TO FORMAL CREDIT THROUGH
TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS SUCH AS BANKS OR
CREDIT UNIONS.
INSTEAD WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH
COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE YOU SEE
PAYDAY LENDERS AUTO TITLE LOAN
LENDERS AND OTHER LENDERS THAT
OFFER LOANS WITH TRIPLE DIGIT
INTEREST RATES ON EVERY CORNER
OF EVERY BLOCK. FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES WERE MAY LACK CREDIT
HISTORIES OF PRODUCTS THESE
LENDERS OFFER UNAFFORDABLE IN
CAN TRAP INDIVIDUALS IN CYCLES
OF POVERTY.
IN ONE NOTABLE EXAMPLE REPORT BY
THE LA TIMES A BORROWER TOOK OUT
A FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR LOAN AT
ANAPR OF A 116%.
UNDER THE TERMS OF THE LOAN THIS
BAR WOULD ULTIMATELY PAY A TOTAL
OF FORTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
OVER THE COURSE OF SEVEN YEARS.
IT'S JUST UNACCEPTABLE.
THE CALIFORNIA FINANCE LAW THE
CFL.
THE LEGISLATURE UNDER THE SEA OF
ALL OF THE LEGISLATURE CREATE A
PILOT PROGRAM WITH THE INTENT OF
INCREASING CONSUMER ACCESS TO
SMALL DOLLAR LOANS WHILE
ENSURING STRONG MEANINGFUL
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS.
SOME THE PROTECTIONS INCLUDED.
IT INTEREST RATES CAPPED AT 36%
LONESOME MUST BE ON SECURED
LENDERS MUST COMPLETE
UNDERWRITING TO ENSURE BORROWERS
HAVE THE ABILITY TO REPAY.
LENDERS MUST REPORT LOANS TO
CREDIT AGENCIES AND NO
PREPAYMENT PENALTIES FOR BARS.
EXPANDING THE UPPER LIMIT A
PILOT PROGRAM TO SEVENTY FIVE
HUNDRED FOOT PROVIDE RELIEF TO
CONSUMERS BY MAKING LOANS OVER
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED AVAILABLE
UNDER THIS PILOT PROGRAM.
THE NEED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO
SAFE AFFORDABLE OPTIONS FOR
PRODUCTS IN THE TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLAR RANGE IS OVERWHELMINGLY
CLEAR.
ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
BUSINESS OVERSIGHT THE NUMBER OF
LOANS ISSUED IN THE TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED TEN THOUSAND REACHES
INCREASED NEARLY 5100%.
BETWEEN TWO THOUSAND NINE AND
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN FURTHERMORE
NEARLY HALF OF ALL LANDS ISSUE
BETWEEN TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED AND
TEN THOUSAND HAD TRIPLE DIGIT A
P. OURS CONSUMERS DESERVE.
DIFFERENT AND BETTER LOAN
PRODUCTS AND HAVE STRICT%
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AND
ENSURING VIGILS HAVE THE ABILITY
TO REPAY AND ARE NOT STUCK IN A
CYCLE OF POVERTY.
THE PILOT PROGRAM OF REASONS ONE

HI GOOD AFTERNOON A THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE

BECAUSE I FOR THREE SORRY
[inaudible]
BUT THE LONG DAY HERE TRYING TO
WAKE UP WAKE US ALL OUT --
MY NAME IS ORDERS TONIGHT A LOT
AND THE A LOT OF YOU ON OFFENSE
PRESIDENT OF THE GREEN I MEAN
IT'S IT'S AND WE REGRETTABLY --
OPPOSED AB.
TWO THIRTY SEVEN BUT I WE AGREE
WITH INTENT OF THE BILL WHICH IS.
TO BRING MORE RESOURCES I'M MORE
HELP TO WORKING FAMILIES.
BUT AS YOU HEARD FROM THE
WITNESSES EARLIER THAT PILOT
PROGRAM IS WORKING WELL --
WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING
BIGGER LOANS WHICH INCREASES
RISK WERE ALSO WORRIED ABOUT HOW
I'M ACTUALLY INCREASING ACCESS
TO FINDER'S.
LOOK AT THE MORTGAGE CRISIS AND
WHAT'S HAPPENED WITH BROKERS
WHEN PEOPLE ARE NOT DIRECTLY
CONNECTED TO THE LANDING
INSTITUTION.
LANDING QUALITY GOES DOWN PEOPLE
GET HURT --
AND WHAT'S THE POINT OF GIVING
ALONE.
TO WHAT'S THE POINT OF GIVING A
LOAN TO A PERSON WHO'S CREDIT
SCORE.
GOES DOWN --
AND THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE
WANT TO AVOID --
YOU KNOW WE CLEARLY WANT TO WORK
WITH THE AUTHOR TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT ARE BETTER WAYS TO BRING.
CAPITAL YOU KNOW THERE ARE GREAT
ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING REALLY
LOW INTEREST RATE LOANS TO
ENTREPRENEURS LIKE THE ONES THAT
ARE HERE TODAY.
SO JUST KEEP --
THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND SO
WE THINK THE PILOT THE PILOT
PROGRAM IS WORKING AS INTENDED.
LET'S NOT TINKER WITH IT WE'RE
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR TO FIGURE OUT BETTER MORE
RESPONSIBLE WAYS TO DO IT.
THINK IT [inaudible]
YOU.
TURN MEMBERS SUZANNE MARTIN DEL
BEHALF OF CONSUMERS UNION ALSO
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS MEASURE
ORGANIZATION IN SEVERAL
ORGANIZATIONS WHO --
CARLY OPPOSE THIS BILL HAVE
WORKED ON VIRTUALLY EVERY
ITERATION OF OF THIS PILOT --
AND DO YOU KNOW THE THE ROLE OF
THESE THIRD PARTIES THAT ARE
CALLED FINDERS THERE'S ALWAYS
INTENDED ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO
SERVE A LIMITED ROLE PROVIDE
SOME MARKETING SOME PRE PRINTED
BROCHURES.
AND WHAT HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS
WITH A OF MULTIPLE AMENDMENTS TO
THE PILOT IS WE SAW A NEW
INCREASES IN RATES AND FEES OF
THAT WERE ADDED IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN WHEN THE PILOT WAS
REPEALED AND REPLACED.
THEM IN TWENTY FIFTEEN WE SAW A
MASSIVE EX.
PLAY AND THEY REALLY DON'T LOOK
LIKE THE REST OF THE LAW THE
LOOK ON LICENSED PROGRAMMING AND
SO I YOU KNOW I APPRECIATE WHAT
THE AUTHOR OF HIGHLIGHTED ABOUT
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE
HAVE IN THE MARKETPLACE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA WHERE WE HAVE.
SOME SPACES THAT ARE REGULATED
BY WHETHER RATE CAPS
UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS AND
THERE ARE OTHER AREAS WHERE
THERE ARE NO RATE CAPS OTHERS NO
UNDERWRITING REQUIREMENTS.
AND SPECIFICALLY FOR LOANS ABOUT
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
UNDER THE REGULAR CALIFORNIA
FINANCING LAW THERE ARE NO RATE
CAPS EFFECTS OF ALL OF OUR
GROUPS TRY.
TO IN PLACE PER MINUTE RATE CAPS
THIS YEAR WITH A DIFFERENT BILL
BUT DID NOT MAKE IT OFF THE
FLOOR ON THAT SAID THAT'S WHAT
WE THINK REALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN
BEFORE WE CAN REALLY SHAKE UP
THE MARKETPLACE AND SO IN THE
INTERIM.
EXPANDING THE PILOT TO PROVIDE
FOR LARGE DOLLAR AMOUNTS DOES
NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE
DON'T HAVE RATE CAPS OUTSIDE OF
THE PILOT --
AND OF COURSE WHAT'S ALSO
IMPORTANT TO KNOW WITH THE
FINDERS AGAIN TURNED THEIR NOT
LICENSED --
IN THE WAY THAT A BROKER WOULD
BE TYPICALLY LICENSE UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA FINANCING LAW AND IN
FACT THE ONLY LENDER THAT WE
KNOW OF FROM DB A RECORDS WHO IS.
USING UP. TO A GREAT EXTENT
THESE FINDERS IS --
IS IS ONE OF THE MAIN PROPONENTS
INSECT AND THEY ARE PARTNERING
WITH PAYDAY LENDERS AND CHECK
CASHES IN SOME OF THE MAIN
COMPANIES THE SPECIFIC VACCINE
THAT THE PILOT WAS INTENDED TO
STEER PEOPLE AWAY FROM SO YOU
KNOW WE WANT TO WORK ON THIS
ISSUE IN GOOD FAITH WE WANT
THESE PROPOSALS TO BE PROPERLY
VETTED AND WE FEEL THAT.
FOR RUNNING THIS BILL AT THIS
TIME WITH ONLY A MONTH AND A
HALF LEFT OF SESSION AND I IS
NOT THE WAY TO CREATE SOME
PUBLIC POLICY AND WE WOULD --
ECHO THAT THE CONCERNS ABOUT
TINKERING GET AGAIN.
CALIFORNIA FROM THOSE BELOW
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS SO
FOR THOSE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THANK YOU
[inaudible]
PARDON.
FEDERAL AYE CASKEY ANY QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS AND YES I DO ON I'M
SORRY I'M SORRY.
APOLOGIES MAY I ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
I DIDN'T SEE ANYBODY ELSE STAND
UP RIGHT AWAY AS I APOLOGIZE.
SORRY IF I COULD I SEE A LOT OF
BONTA DEANNA CENTER FOR
RESPONSIBLE LENDING OF OPPOSE.
RONALD COLMAN HERE AND WE HAVE
THE CALIFORNIA LOW INCOME
CONSUMER COALITION ALSO OPPOSED.
AS OUR GEAR WITH OPPORTUNE WHERE
THE LARGEST LENDER IN THE
CALIFORNIA PILOT PROGRAM AND WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE.
I RYAN FLANAGAN ON BEHALF OF
LANDMARK FINANCIAL SERVICES IN
OPPOSITION.
SCOTT GOVERNOR BEHALF CALIFORNIA
FINANCIAL SERVICES ASSOCIATION.
MICHAEL SIR GOES ON BEHALF LATIN
THIS ASSOCIATION IN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER INDIVIDUALS
IN OPPOSITION.
BACK TO THE SENATOR FROM FREMONT
SO.
WITHIN THE COOK OUT OF THE
PROGRAM THE PILOT THAT WE'RE
RUNNING THERE'S BEEN A GAP WHERE
THERE'S BEEN --
INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN --
I GUESS CONFUSING OR MAKE GIVES
ME PAUSE BETWEEN THE FINDERS AND
NINE FINDERS IN THE BENEFIT THAT
IT HAS TO THE CONSUMER.
INFORMATION CAME UP.
WITH THE OVERSIGHT JUSTICE THIS
MONTH THAT THE A REGARDING A
PILOT PROGRAM IS SAYING THAT THE
ACTUALLY THE MAJORITY THE
BORROWERS SAW THEIR CREDIT
SCORES GO.
GO UP BAG WITH THE PURPOSE OF IT
IS TO HAVE YOUR CREDIT SCORE GO
DOWN THERE GAVE IT WITH.
THE OTHERS THAT LEASE TO REPORT
WE JUST GOT THIS MONTH TO SAYING
THE MAJORITY SO OTHER FRIENDS
CREDIT SCORES GO DOWN.
NOW THE PURPOSE OF THE PILOT
PROGRAM WAS INCREASED TO CREDIT
SCORES SO FOR GETTING CONFUSING.
TREND IS WORSENING.
ON THE PILOT WHY WOULD WE EXPAND
THE PILOT.
I'M NOT SURE WHERE YOU'RE
GETTING THAT THE CREDIT THE
MAJORITY OF ON THIS CREDIT
SCORES WENT DOWN.
AND THIS IN FACT IS A PRODUCT
IT'S AIMED AT MANY PEOPLE
WITHOUT A CREDIT SCORE AND IT IT
HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL --
AND IN FACT --
ENSURING THE CREDIT SCORES GO UP
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S LIKE
OF MIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE DATA
THAT CAME OUT BUT THIS HAS BEEN
SUCCESSFUL THERE HAVE BEEN --
EFRAIN BELIEFS ABOUT WHETHER THE
PRODUCT WITH A FINDER VERSES NOT
A FINDER WHICH THE SCORES GO
HIGHER WHICH PERCENTAGE IS
ACTUALLY HIGHER BUT THE POLLS.
HAVE GONE UP THE PROGRAM HAS
BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
OKAY I JUST SAID I I KNOW WHEN
THIRTEEN FOURTEEN FIFTEEN
SIXTEEN I DON'T REFUTE THAT THAT
THAT.
THEY DID MEAN CREDIT SCORES
GOING UP IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
THEY SAW.
A REVERSING THE TREND THAT THEY
WANT WENT DOWN THE LEAST THAT'S
WHAT I HAVE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS OVERSIGHT
IS IS THERE CAN I CAN I HAVE --
SOMEBODY A SUPPORTER ANSWER THAT
IN DETAIL FOR THE ONE IT DIDN'T
GO UP AS MUCH ONE YEAR THAT I
DID THE OTHERS AND IN THIS IS.
IT BUT THIS IS A CLEAR FIGHT
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT HAD
THE FINDERS THE PEOPLE DIDN'T
HAVE THE FINDERS WE SAW THEIR
CREDIT SCORES GO UP. TO YOUR
EXPANDING THE PROGRAM WITH THE
FINDERS AND THIS WAS PART OF THE
PILOTS SO.
PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE THE POP
FINDERS THEIR CREDIT SCORES
ACTUALLY WENT UP.
SO IT'S THAT I THE WRINKLES.
I MEAN I THINK THAT MY NAME IS
JAMES GUTIERREZ ON THE AS CEO CO
FOUNDED IN SEEK WHEREBY THE
PROGRAM UNDER --
TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION --
YEAH.
LENDERS TO USE BY DID NOT USE
FINDER AND LENDERS --
WHO DID USE A FINDER'S I SAW 46%
LET ME EXPLAIN THE? 4628% WHEN
WE REPORTED THAT OF OUR
BORROWERS WERE NOT IN THE CREDIT
BUREAU LONG ENOUGH. TO HAVE A
CREDIT SCORE BY THE TIME THAT
THEIR SECOND LOAN.
SO IT'S NOT THAT THEY WEREN'T
IMPROVING IT'S THAT THEY DIDN'T
HAVE CREDIT GOING IN.
AND THE WEIGHT EXPERIENCE TRANS
UNION WORKS IS YOU HAVE TO
ACTUALLY BE IN THE CREDIT UNION
FOR SIR AT SORRY THAT.
CREDIT OUT REPORTING FOR SO LONG
WITH A LOAN OUTSTANDING BEFORE.
THEY ACTUALLY GIVE YOU A SCORE
AND SO 28% OF PEOPLE WE GAVE
THEM A SECOND LOAN STILL WAS A
NO SCORE.
IS A WE DIDN'T REPORT DOES AS AN
IMPROVEMENT THERE JUST.
AN A LIKE NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION
SO IF YOU TAKE THOSE OUT AND YOU
LOOK AT THE REMAINING.
HE WAS 67% THAT GO UP SO THEY'RE
STILL SPACE AND THE AVERAGE
POINT INCREASE OF THOSE.
SIXTY SEVEN WAS OVER THREE
HUNDRED AND FORTY POINT SO IT'S
VERY HIGH IN TERMS OF THE POINT
INCREASE OF THOSE --
BUT THE REASON WHY YOU'RE SEEING
FORTY SIX IS JUST BECAUSE BUT
WHEN THIS WAS FIRST CREATED WE
DIDN'T ANTICIPATE.
THAT MARKET REALITY IN THE
REPORTING DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR THE
FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
A SCHOOL OR BY THE TIME OF THEIR
SECOND LOAN.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THOSE
INSIDE THINK IF THAT.
THE REPORT ADDRESS THAT THEN YOU
WOULD SEE BETTER BECAUSE THE
FLAW IN THE RECORD AND THAT WAS
WHEN WE AGREED TO THE PILOT IS
BECAUSE WE'RE THESE ARE SMALL
LOANS THEY WERE.
SUPPOSED TO COMPETE YOU KNOW
200-522-2500 SO NOW WE'RE
EXPANDING THAT AND I GUESS THE
QUESTION IS IS THAT THERE'S NO.
OVERSIGHT OVER THESE FINDERS A
MINUTE OBJECT THE THEY'RE SAYING
THAT THERE IS OTHER NOT
MONITORED OR AND AND THAT THE
IDEA THAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO
MORE.
DOUGH HERE IF IT'S FOUR HUNDRED
BUCKS OKAY THAT'S BAD BUT IT'S
WORTH THOUSAND THAT'S REALLY BAD.
THEIR REGISTERED AND WE ARE
TAKINGTHE COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS
ON FOR BACKGROUND CHECKS AS WELL --
THE BAR SUBJECT TAUGHT BY THE
DVL SO I THINK THAT THERE ARE --
SAFEGUARDS IN THIS AND WHAT WE
KNOW IS IT AND THIS IS WHAT I
THINK IS MOST IMPORTANT.
WITH OUT THE INCREASE IN IN THIS
PILOT PROGRAM WERE PUSHING
PEOPLE -- TO
THE UNREGULATED BASICALLY UP
PERCENTAGE APR PERCENTAGE AND
SHE CAN CHECK HER HEAD NO BUT
YOU KNOW WE SEE THIS MY
COMMUNITY DAY SO PUSHING PEOPLE
TO THE TO THE CFL WARY PEOPLE
HAVE A HUNDRED AND 30% APR ON
ALONE.
SO -- PER
PERHAPS YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE
DOING APPLES AND ORANGES HERE
BUT THE CREDIT PROTECTIONS IN
THE PROTECTIONS FOR THE CONSUMER
UNDER THE PILOT.
IN THIS RANGE ABOUT TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED NOW THAT WE'RE TRYING
EXTENDED TO AND LET ME GIVE THE
FOR A MINUTE EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY
I'M TRYING.
TO DO THIS WITH THIS BILL FIRST
CAME TO ME I DON'T EVEN
UNDERSTAND THE PILOT PROGRAM --
EXTENSION CAME TO ME THE ABBOTT
AN APPROACH I DON'T UNDERSTAND
IT'S LIKE GOING TO MY COMMUNITY
LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE
LITERALLY ON EVERY CORNER WE
HAPPY DAY LENDERS CHECK CATCHERS --
INA SMALL DOLLAR LOAN SO I GO TO
THE GROCERY STORE WHERE THERE IS
THIS PRODUCT AND TALK TO PEOPLE.
THE MORE I TALK TO PEOPLE I
REALIZE WHAT A DIFFERENCE THIS
OPPORTUNITY ES IN THEM WE TALKED
ABOUT NEEDS THE TWO BIGGEST
NEEDS THAT CAME UP WHERE. ONE
FUNERALS WHICH ARE COVERED BY A
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR LOAN
INTO GETTING I'M.
IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK FIXED SO
EITHER BECOMING I'M GETTING
THEIR CITIZENSHIP UP PEOPLE WORK
AND OR TRYING TO FIGHT
DEPORTATION WHICH COSTS MORE
THAN TWENTY FOUR AND PROBABLY
NOT WIN ANYTHING HERE BUT I'M.
MISTER CASCADE SO WHAT WAS
HAPPENING AS WE HAD PEOPLE WHO
WOULD APPLY AND QUALIFY FOR THE
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR LOAN
AT A 36% CAP WHICH IS GREAT.
AND THEN THEY'D HAVE TO GO GET
THE REST OF THE MONEY AT A
HUNDRED AND 20% ARE 130% SO WHAT
WE WE TRIED TO DO IS AND WE WORK
THROUGH IT WITH BANKING.
NOT WE WOULD ASK FOR TEN
THOUSAND THAT'S BEEN MOVED TO
SEVENTY FIVE HUNDRED WHICH IS
THE AVERAGE COST OF BALLS IN THE
RANGE OF THE AVERAGE COST OF A
OF A FUNERAL BEYOND --
FOR IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK SO WE
ARE TRYING TO CREATE --
THE BEST SAFEGUARDS POSSIBLE
UNDER A PILOT UNDER A PROGRAM
THAT'S ALREADY CREATED TO ALLOW
THOSE WHO QUALIFIED BY THE WAY
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S NOT.
I'M A SECURED LOAN IT'S
UNDERWRITTEN AND THE QUALIFY SO
NOT EVERYBODY QUALIFIES BUT FOR
THOSE WHO HAVE A HAVE INCOME CAN
PAY BACK THE LOAN ARE THAT CAN
QUALIFY FOR AMOUNT THEY NEED AND
WANT PUSH THEM INTO THE MARKET
THAT WE KNOW IS.
SOME IS PREDATORY [inaudible]
I MEAN.
SURE I HAD [inaudible]
YEAH I JUST S YOU KNOW I WAS
STATURE OF JUDICIARY IN THE
ASSEMBLY WHEN THIS FIRST CAME UP
IN TWENTY TWELVE SO I DID THIS
IS AN IBM RIGHT THAT I'VE BEEN
TO THE GROCERY STORE I DID ALL
THAT.
I HAVE DONE THAT STUFF THE
ANTICIPATION FOR YEARS AGO WAS
THAT THE PEOPLE WOULD BUILD UP
THE CREDIT CARD SCORE SO THAT
THEY WOULD GO GET A CREDIT CARD
SO THAT THEY HAVE A CREDIT CARD.
YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S IT PERHAPS A
SLOWER PROCESS THAT PEOPLE
WANTED BUT THE IDEA WOULD BE FOR
THIS SMALL SPACE BIG GET.
ON THE GET.
THE CREDIT REPORT AND THEY BUILD
IT UP SO THAT THEY GO INTO A
NORMAL CREDIT UNION WHATEVER IT
IS AND THEY GET A CREDIT CARD SO
THAT.
THEY TAKE CARE THAT SEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
YOU KNOW UNEXPECTED FUNERAL
COSTS YOUR FIRST NEED FOR ALONE
THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE EXPECTING
THAT PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY
ESTABLISHED THEIR CREDIT AND AND
MOVED ON THAT IS HAPPENING UNDER
THE PILOT PROGRAM BUT WHAT WE'RE
FINDING UNDER THE PILOT PROGRAM
IS WHEN PEOPLE NEED ACCESS TO
CAPITAL A COMMUNITY LIKE.
MINE AND THEY'RE DESPERATE IN
THAT MOMENT OF NEED WHETHER THEY
CREATED A CREDIT SCORE NOT
WHETHER THEY'VE EVER BORROWED A
DOLLAR AND I'LL TELL YOU I'M I
DON'T HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT
LEVERAGES A LOT OF OF BORROWING
MONEY THEY'RE THEY'RE HARD
WORKING FOLKS ARE TRYING.
TO MAKE ENDS MEET NOT GO INTO
DEBT THAT THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY
CIRCUMSTANCES BUT WE WANT TO
PROVIDE FOR THOSE EXTRAORDINARY
CIRCUMSTANCES IN A WAY THAT
DOESN'T PUSH THEM. TO THE MARKET
WHICH WOULD COST YOU KNOW A 130%
APR ON THE LOAN IN AND THEY'LL
PAY IT BACK BUT IT'S GOING TO BE
AT A MUCH LONGER RATE --
THEIR THEIR CREDIT IS NOT
NECESSARILY GOING TO BE RESTORED
SO YOU IN AYE DEAL I THINK THAT
THAT UP TO TWENTY FIVE THE
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR LOAN
IS WORKING JUST AS YOU HAD HOPED.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
BUILDING THEIR CREDIT SCORE
MOVING OUT OF THAT MARKET WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS PEOPLE
WHO NEED.
MORE MONEY THAN IS AVAILABLE
UNDER THE PILOT RIGHT NOW WHERE
WE'RE PUTTING NAM.
I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION IF I
COULD IF I COULD IS ON THE
OPPOSITION.
COM WE'VE HAD THIS IS THE FIFTH
YEAR OF THE VOTE OF FORTY FOUR
YEARS OF THE PART OF THE PROGRAM.
HAVE YOU SEEN WHAT WE CALL IT
THE GRADUATION OF PEOPLE FROM
THE THIRD THE SMALL LOANS THAT
CREATED THAT COULD ADD AS A
CREDIT.
SCORE THAT ARE ACTUALLY GOING TO
CREDIT UNIONS OR TRADITIONAL
LENDERS BECAUSE THAT WAS THE
SORT OF THE LIKE THERE'S TO THE
ACTIVITIES GOING HERE ONE IS.
THE COUCH IS BUT THE OTHER IS
SICK KIM COME INTO THE THE
NORMAL LENDING --
ARENA BUT DOES IT LOOK NORMAL
AVENUES NAM BECAUSE THIS IS NOT
THAT IS NOT THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO
RAISE THE LIMIT WRITES A JUST.
AND AND THEN THE STAFF REPORT
PUTS UP HAVE WE SEEN THAT
SUCCESS AT THE SMARTER ONES OR
IS IT JUST NOT HAPPENING THIS BY
THE PILOT PROGRAM IS THE PAY
BACK THE LOANS BUT WE'RE NOT
SEEING THAT GRADUATION.
THAT WE ANTICIPATED.
DO YOU YOU HAVE GREEN LINING
HAVE ANY I KNOW THAT THE DATA IS
HARD TO TRACK YOU KNOW MONEY
THINGS WE KNOW THAT'S A
SOMEBODY'S CREDIT SCORES STARTS
TO GO UP.
HE SAID I START GETTING ALL
THESE CREDIT CARD OFFERS --
IN THE MALE USUALLY CAPITAL ONE
IS THE EXPERT AT THAT.
THEY WON'T DIVULGE KIND OF HOW
THEY GOT THAT --
SO I WOULD SAY THERE IS
ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE BUT THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY HARD TO
TRACK THAT'S A REALLY GOOD
QUESTION [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
A SENIOR WHITE HOUSE KEY CENTER
MONEY REQUESTING --
THANK YOU MSTER CHAIR AND SORRY
TO MISS THE PRESENTATIONS I JUST
HAD TWO QUICK QUESTIONS AND
PERHAPS YOU'VE ALREADY ADDRESS
THEM.
HOW LONG IS THE PILOT PROGRAM?
THE ORIGINAL PILOT PROGRAM FOR
IN THIS. TWENTY THIRTEEN TWENTY
ON ITS WAY THROUGH THE TWENTY
THREE ACT A. GOES TO TWENTY
TWENTY THREE WHEN IT SUNSET SITE
THINK NOW.
EVERY SENSE I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY
WE'RE DOING IT CHESSMEN IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE PILOT DO WE HAVE
WELL I'LL TELL YOU FROM PERSONAL
REASON I I GAVE THIS ANSWER THE
REASON I GOT INTERESTED IN THIS
AND REALLY WANTED TO PUSH IT
THIS TIME.
IS BY DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH
MY CONSTITUENTS I'M AND I IT I
ADMIT I DON'T MY DISTRICT DOES
NOT LOOK LIKE AS I THINK WE'VE
HAD THIS CONVERSATION.
EVERYBODY'S DISTRICT HERE IT'S
HIGH AND HIGH IMMIGRANT REFUGEE
POPULATION IT'S ALONG THE BORDER
AND SO WHEN I STARTED --
ASKING A BALLOT THEIR LOAN
REQUIREMENTS WHAT WE STARTED
SEEING WAS A NEED FOR ACCESS TO
CAPITAL SPECIFICALLY.
BASED ON IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK --
AND VERY CLEAR WITH FOLKS THAT
YOUR BEST SHOT OF STAYING HERE
IS HAVING REPRESENTATION
REPRESENTATION COST AND WHAT
ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN
UNBANKED FOLKS TO FAMILIES WHO
HAVE NO CREDIT SCORE IN THE
NEEDS WERE HIGHER THAN THE
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED SO MY DESIRE
IN IN.
EXTENDING THIS WAS IT STARTED
WITH TAKA IT WHAT IT HAD TO DO
WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAMILY
MEMBERS WHO WERE DETAINED AT A
TIME MESA WHO NEED TO GET
ATTORNEY TO THEM.
IT ALSO WAS FOLKS WHO I AM ARE
APPLYING FOR AND TRYING TO GET
THEIR CITIZENSHIP IN ORDER OR
TRYING TO GET THROUGH A POST
CONVICTION RELIEF ISSUE I'M SO
THAT THEY CAN GET THEIR
CITIZENSHIP IN ORDER.
THE LEGAL ISSUES THAT SO MANY OF
MY COMMUNITY ARE FACING RIGHT
NOW REQUIRES MORE THAN A TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR LOAN OFTEN
IN THESE ARE FOLKS TO BECAUSE OF
THE THAT STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS
OF THIS PROPOSAL --
CAN IT THAT THE COMPANY IS IS.
UNDERWRITING EIGHT YOU KNOW
THEY'RE THEY'RE THEY'RE CHECKING
TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN PAY IT
BACK THESE RESPONSIBLE FOLKS BUT
THEY NEED ACCESS TO WHAT'S GOING
ON NOW AND THIS IS WHAT I CAN
SAY THAT I WANT TO AVOID AND I I
HOPE.
I'M IT WOULD BE GREAT THE
DISCUSSIONS I HAD WITH AB KIDS
EARLY ON WERE DISAPPOINTING BUT
LOOK THEY CAN'T BORROW THAT
MONEY FROM CATHOLIC CHARITIES
THAT WAS WHEN THE OPTIONS AS
GIVEN THE CAMP BORROWED FROM
THEIR NEIGHBORS THEY DON'T HAVE
IT EITHER OR THEIR FAMILY
MEMBERS.
SO WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS THEY'RE
GONNA TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR
LOAN AND THEN THEY'RE GOING OUT
TO THE 130% APR 2100% APR IN
GETTING THE REST OF THE LOAN
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
PROVIDE THEM WITH A LOAN THAT.
THAT IN THOSE CASES SATISFY
THEIR NEEDS AT 36% YOU CAN.
THAT LAST STATEMENT AT THERE'S A
CAP ON THE PERCENT 36%.
THINKIN.
AND I WILL SAY.
YEAH WE WOULD LIKE A PERFECT
SOCIETY WHERE AT NIGHT CO
AUTHORED THE THOUGHTS KALRA BILL
TO CAP BALL.
FLOATS AT 36% BUT REALITY IS
WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT IN THIS
LEGSLATURE FOR SOMETIME AND I I
YOU KNOW I'M A PASSED
[inaudible]
GLASS HALF.
THIS LITTLE PERSON I TRY A LOT
OF CRAZY THINGS YOU NOW AND AND
THINK WE CAN GET IT BUT WE'RE
NOT GETTING THEM THIS
LEGISLATURE ANYTIME SOON IN THE
MEANTIME I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE
SOMETHING FOR MY COMMUNITY
DOESN'T PUT THEM IN A CYCLE OF
DEBT AND POVERTY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER
[inaudible]
CENTER WIECKOWSKI.
YOU MAKE A COMPELLING CASE.
FOR IMMIGRATION AND YOU MAKE A
COMPELLING CASE FOR FUNERALS BUT
THIS BILL.
AT LEAST OF AS I UNDERSTAND THAT
YOU TOOK THE AMENDMENTS FOR THE
COMMITTEE THAT WHERE OUTLINED IN
OUR IN THE STAFF REPORT EIGHT
NINE YES THERE WAS --
AND NOW I DON'T SEE MISTAKEN THE
COMMITTEE IT SAID 1% PER MONTH
REDUCTION AND I UPSET WHEN LET'S
THAT'S 1% PER YEAR.
I'M A BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT
BEING IN CONCERT ONCE WORK ON
THAT AS WELL OKAY SO SO YOU'VE
OUTLINED TWO PROBLEM AREAS WITH
WHICH I'M SYMPATHETIC TO YOU
KNOW MY RECORD ON THE MONEY FOR
LEGAL AID.
TRYING TO GET MORE PRO BONO WORK
FOR IMMIGRATION SERVICES
ATTRACTED THE ARTICULATE THAT IN
SEVERAL BILLS AND DISCUSSIONS
THAT I'VE HAD --
SO PUTTING THAT ASIDE FOR THIS
THING THERE'S THE BILL BEFORE US
IS WILL CAPTURE THAT BUT CAPTURE
SOME OTHER THINGS WHAT ARE THE
SAFEGUARDS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE
BECAUSE THE CREEK THE CONCERNED
IS THAT.
YOU KNOW THIS IS A BANKRUPTCY
ATTORNEY SO I KNOW I COULD
EVERYBODY GIVES ME LECTURES BUT
I'M THE GUY THAT DOES THE WORK
HERE WHEN THEY HAVE DEBTS WHAT
DID THE SAFEGUARDS FROM THE
PILOT.
THAT THAT.
WITH THE OTHER TYPES ALONE SAID
NONE IMMIGRATION THE NON RIGHT
IN AND LET ME WITH THAT WE CAN
GO ON AND ON WITH THE STORIES I
HEARD PURCHASING A CAR SO THAT
THEY CAN GET TO WORK I MEAN
THERE ARE A LOT OF THERE'S NO
OTHER WAY TO GET.
A LOAN TO PURCHASE A CAR SO
THEIR LACK THINGS ARE VERY VALID
BUT THAT THIS LOAN PRODUCT --
HAS BEEN UNDER WRITTEN SO YOU
HAVE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT YOUR
DEBT INCOME RATIO WHICH I THINK
IS A HUGE PROTECTION ESPECIALLY
COMPARED TO THE REST OF THE
MARKET RIGHT.
IT'S NOT AS IF WHEN YOU HAVE A
NEED.
FOR THIS TYPE OF LOAN WHETHER IT
BE AN EMERGENCY WHETHER IT BE A
CAR PRE PLANNING WHETHER IT'S
BECAUSE YOU LIKE AT THE WE HAD
TESTIFIED ONE BY EIGHTY FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH OF FABRIC
TO START YOUR DRESS SHOP.
RIGHT WHEN YOU NEED THAT LOAN
YOU'RE GOING TO GO GET THAT
MONEY WITHOUT A CREDIT SCORE
WHAT YOU'RE IN WITHOUT I'M
HAVING BIT BANG.
YOU'RE PUSHING PEOPLE TO A MUCH
HIGHER RATES SO I IN WITHOUT THE
SAME CONSUMER PROTECTIONS AT
THIS PILOT PROGRAM HOUSE
[inaudible]
ALRIGHT AUTUMN.
I JUST CHRISTMAS PARTY OF ANY
RESPONSE TO SOME OF THE
QUESTIONS YOU.
WANT TO JUMP IN THE ONLY A BRIEF
POINT I WOULD MAKE IS THAT THERE
IS NOTHING STOPPING.
RESPONSIBLE LENDERS FROM GETTING
A REGULAR CFL LICENSE AND MAKING
LARGER LUNGS THERE'S NOTHING
STOPPING THEM TODAY YOU CAN GET
A REGULAR CFL LICENSE YOU CAN
MAKE LOANS OF 500-075-0010
THOUSAND DOLLARS UNDER EXISTING
LAW TODAY.
THERE ARE NO RATE CAPS THERE.
YOU CAN CAP YOURSELF IN THERE
ARE SEVERAL LENDERS WHO LEND
ABOUT TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
OPPORTUNE IS ONE OF THEM UP
FINANCIER IS ANOTHER BELIEVE LET
MARK IS ANOTHER THE LAND AROUND
THIRTY SIX AND A PR.
AND SO THEY TELL US THEY ALSO DO
UNDERWRITING INTO A LOT OF THE
SAME BUSINESS SAYS THAT ARE.
REQUIRED BY THE PILOT BUT NOT
REQUIRED ABOUT TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS UNDER THE
EXISTING CFL BUT YOU CAN STILL
DO THEM.
SO THE ONLY THING THAT'S
DIFFERENT ABOUT THE CFL IS
ACTUALLY MORE THE TYPICAL WAY
YOU DO THINGS THAT IF YOU WANT
TO PARTNER WITH THIRD PARTIES TO
HELP YOU MARKET.
ORIGINATE LOANS YOU HAVE TO USE
LICENSED BROKERS.
THEY HAVE TO BE LICENSED SO
THERE'S NOTHING STOPPING THE
PROPONENTS OF THIS BILL FOR
MAKING LARGER LOANS TOMORROW
THEY JUST HAVE TO DO SO WITH THE
REGULAR CFL LICENSE.
GREAT THANK YOU TO HAVE A MOTION.
BUT I HAVE A BUT WE WEREN'T WELL

CONTINUING.

IT IS A IT.
PREMIUM LOOKING AT IT
DIFFERENTLY RIGHT AS I'M A CPA
BACKGROUNDS I THIS IS EMPLOYMENT
FULLY VERSES INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTOR ISSUE AND IT'S A I'M.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF IT SHOULD
BE LIKE A FRANCHISE TAX BOARD
RIGHT NOW WE KNOW THAT --
THIS MADNESS LOCATION IS HAPPY
IN JANITORIAL INDUSTRY AND IN
LARGE NUMBERS THE SAME WAY WE
DIDN'T CONSTRUCTION AND
STREAMPIX SATIN SO THAT WE'RE
TARGETING IN THE JANITORIAL
INDUSTRY AND THIS --
IN THIS PRESUMPTION THAT IT
WOULD BE MUCH BROADER DISCUSSION
TO TALK ABOUT --
WORK IT THE PRESUMPTION OF
EMPLOYEE VERSES IN A PAINT
CONTRACTOR FODDER AND EVEN I
MIGHT APPEAL TO BRING THAT TYPE
OF BROAD LABOR BELL. TO THIS IF
I COULD ADD TO THAT ANSWER.
PLEASE -- I
THINK HAS TO DO WITH THE NEEDS
SITUATION OF THAT TYPE OF WORK
HAPPENING LATE AT NIGHT WHEN NO
ONE'S AROUND.
EVERY OTHER INDUSTRIES EXPOSED
TO REGULATION THROUGHOUT THE
STATE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
SOCIAL RELATIONS [inaudible]
THE APARTMENT INSURANCE AND

JANITORS ARE UNIQUE IN THAT WAY
THAT THEIR LOAN [inaudible]

ADVOCATE YOU YOU EITHER HAVE
VITAL WITH LD PAY SOCIAL
SECURITY AX FOR THE SELF
EMPLOYMENT TAX.
AND AND SO WE ARE JUST CAN OCCUR
AS WELL AS A DE A INVOLVED IN.
AND IN THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY.
YEAH I'M LOOKING TO FOR AT THE
INCOME SIDE OF IT --
REAL QUICK DO YOU SAID ARE GRANT
FUNDED TO PROSECUTE WORKERS
COMPENSATION INSURANCE FRAUD.
COMPANIES TO CHANGE ON THE
WORKERS COMP INSURANCE ARE
LIKELY TO CHEAT ON THEIR STATE
TAXES.
AND CHEAT BY UNDER PAYING THEIR
EMPLOYEES ONCE THEY START DOING
THAT YOU CAN GET SUPER BICU
SUFFERING THANK YOU.
I I HOPE THAT OUR MONEY.
IT'S JUST A FURTHER COMMENT ON
THAT.
THIS INDUSTRY IS PARTICULARLY
NOTORIOUS FOR MISS CLASSIFYING.
EMPLOYEES AS INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS TO AVOID.
PAYING.
THEIR OBLIGATION IS EMPLOYER IN
IT'S A LARGELY UNREPRESENTED
CLASS OF WORKERS.
IT'S PART OF THE UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY WHERE.

HE'S MAVERICK SO THIS HELPS TO
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD FOR THE
LAW ABIDING EMPLOYERS WHILE.

AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR I'D LIKE

SUGGESTED AMENDMENT AS OUTLINED
ON PAGE EIGHT OF THE NOW SAYS.
A TWENTY FOURTEEN URBAN
INSTITUTE STUDY FOUND THAT MANY
VICTIMS OF LABOR TRAFFICKING
WERE SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF
PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
TACTICS MEANT TO CONTROL
INTENSELY VICTIMS.
INCLUDING THE USE OF DOCUMENT
SERVITUDE DOCUMENT SEARCHES A
PRACTICE AN EMPLOYER WITHHOLDING
AND IMMIGRANTS LEGAL DOCUMENTS
FOR THE PURPOSE OF MANIPULATING
THE EMPLOYEE.
WITH THE VAST MADE MAJORITY OF
LABOR TRAFFICKING VICTIMS BEEN
IMMIGRANTS IT'S VITAL THAT WE
PROTECT THESE WORKERS BY
PREVENTING UNSCRUPULOUS
EMPLOYERS FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE
OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS.
AB TWENTY SEVEN THIRTY TWO
ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE BY.
DETERMINING VIOLATION AS A
MISDEMEANOR AND POTENTIAL TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS CIVIL PENALTY.
AND ESTABLISHING A WORKERS BILL
WRITES A MUCH SIMPLER THE TO
EVERY WORKER.
I I HAVEN'T WITNESSED --
FROM THESE SPONSORED THE SAN
DIEGO DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
WITH ME HERE TODAY.
GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS I'M
DEPUTY DISTRICT LAURA TANY FROM

HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN THE FORUM --
SEX TRAFFICKING HAS BEEN EXPOSED
AN ADDRESS BY THE SUIT
LEGISLATURE.
AND OUR COMMUNITIES LABOR

SHADOWS THE SAN DIEGO STATE
UNIVERSITY STUDY THAT THE

I'M DEMONSTRATES THAT THERE
THERE WERE THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND
VICTIMS OF LABOR TRAFFICKING.
IN URBAN STUDIES --
FROM TWO THOUSAND AND FOURTEEN
HAD THIS EXPLOSIVE FACT THAT 71%
OF MIGRANT SPANISH SPEAKING
VICTIMS HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO
SOME FORM OF LABOR TRAFFICKING.
INDEED THE MAJRITY.
MIGRANT WORKERS ENTER THE UNITED
STATES UNLAWFUL VIEW SAYS BUT BY
THE TIME THE ESCAPE FROM THEIR
TRAFFICKERS 69% OF THEM ARE NO
LONGER AUTHORIZED BECAUSE
TRAFFICKERS.
HAVE NOT BOB PURSUED --
RENEWALS OF THEIR VISAS --
HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS A REAL
PROBLEM [inaudible]
AND IT'S A LOAN LABOR TO I'M
SORRY LABOR TRAFFICKING IN
SPECIFIC SPECIFICALLY WITH
RESPECT TO THIS BILL IS A HUGE
PROBLEM IN THE STATE.
AND LABOR TRAFFICKERS USE A
VARIETY OF PHYSICAL AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL MEANS TO
CONTROLLING AND SLAVE THEIR
VICTIMS.
INCLUDING HOLDING ON TO THEIR
VISASAND IDENTIFICATION
DOCUMENTS CONTROLLING WHERE THEY
LIVE HOLDING ONTO THEIR WAGES.
AND LEVERAGING THE CONCEPT OF
DEBT BONDAGE OUR OFFICE HAS A
HUMAN TRAFFICKING UNIT WHICH IS
SEEN.
DIRECTLY THAT TRAFFICKERS
WITHHOLD DOCUMENTS ALLOWING
VISAS TO EXPIRE AND THEN HOLDING
IMMIGRATION STATUS AND
IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT.
OVER THE HEAD OF VICTIMS ARE
DEPUTIES HAVE SPOKEN WITH
VICTIMS ESPECIALLY IMMIGRANTS.

NUMBER.
FIFTY THREE NUMBER FIFTY FIVE ON
OUR LIST FIFTY FIVE SO WE'RE
MOVING ALONG.
A. B. --
THIRTY EIGHTY ONE THEIR
AMENDMENTS AS I UNDERSTAND IT TO
BE TAKEN IN THE LABOR COMMITTEE
YES I'M PAGES FIFTEEN AND
SIXTEEN COMMENT FOURTEEN WOULD
YOU ARE YOU ACCEPTING THOSE I
ACCEPT THOSE MOMENTS AND THANK
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THE WORK ON
THIS BILL VERY GOOD.
PLEASE PROCEED ALRIGHT THE ME
TOO MOVEMENT HAS GONE A LONG WAY
TO FOR THE DIALOGUE ON HOW TO
BETTER PROTECT WORKERS FROM
SEXUAL HARASSMENT THE WORKPLACE
HOWEVER THE EXPERIENCES OF
WORKERS IN AGRICULTURE
HOSPITALITY RETAIL RESTAURANT
JANITORIAL AND OTHER SERVICE
INDUSTRIES ARE FAR TOO OFTEN
LEFT OUT OF THE CONVERSATION.
PERPETRATORS OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT THESE INDUSTRIES TEND
TO AVOID BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE
BECAUSE OF SUCH STARK WAGE
EMPOWER DIFFERENCES THE WORKERS
THEY HAD HARASSED FEAR BEING
RETALIATE AGAINST OR BEING
THREATENED DUE TO THEIR
IMMIGRATION STATUS.
ABOVE ALL THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE
RISK OF LOSING THEIR PAYCHECKS
OF THEIR BRING FORTH A COMPLAINT.
AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
THESE LOW WAGE WORKERS ARE WOMEN
AND LEAST A THIRD OF THOSE ARE
WOMEN OF COLOR THEIR MOST
VULNERABLE TO HAVING THEIR
LIKELY HAD CERTAIN WHEN THEY
SUFFER SEXUAL HARASSMENT SOME
THE WORKPLACE.
ACCORDING TO A REPORT RELEASED
BY THE EEOC AND TWENTY SIXTEEN
ROUGHLY THREE OUT OF FOUR WOMEN
WHO EXPERIENCE SEXUAL HARASSMENT
NEVER REPORTED TO SUPERVISOR OR
MANAGER.
IN INDUSTRIES SUCH AS DOMESTIC
WORK EMPLOYEES.
OFTEN WORK IN ISOLATION WHERE
THEY MAY NOT BE OBVIOUS --
WHO THEIR SUPERVISOR IS OR WHO
TO REPORT HIM?
OF THOSE THAT DID REPORT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TWENTY SEVENTEEN
ALMOST 72% OF WORKERS CLAIM
FACING READ RETALIATION AFTER
THE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED.
A. B. THIRTY EIGHTY ONE TAKES A
COPPER SEEN THE THREAT OF
RETALIATION IS A BARRIER FOR
WORKERS TRYING TO SECURE SAFETY
AND JUSTICE NETWORK PLACE AFTER
FACING SEXUAL HARASSMENT.
THIS BILL WILL ENSURE A WORKER
HAS AT LEAST THREE YEARS TO FILE
SEXUAL HARASSMENT RELATED
RETALIATION CLAIM.
IF A WORKER CHOOSES TO FILE
CLAIMS THE BILL WOULD ESTABLISH
A NINETY DAY REBUTTABLE
PRESUMPTION OF UNLAWFUL
RETALIATION.
ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL WOULD
HOLD LABOR CONTRACTORS
ACCOUNTABLE BY REQUIRING CIVIL
LIABILITY FOR CASES OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT ASSAULT AND
DISCRIMINATION.
UNDER THIS BILL WORKERS CAN HAVE
A WAY TO ANONYMOUSLY REPORT
SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINTS TO
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER ACTUALLY
I'M SORRY.
I THINK SOME OF THIS WAS TAKEN
OUT OF PERHAPS.
AND A. B. THIRTY EIGHTY ONE
WOULD REQUIRE EMPLOYERS WITH AT
LEAST TWENTY FIVE EMPLOYEES TO
WRITE SEXUAL HARASSMENT TRAINING
TO ALL EMPLOYEES EVERY TWO YEARS
THIS BILL ALSO INCLUDES A
REQUIREMENT OF EMPLOYERS TO
REGULATE NOTIFIED EMPLOYEES OF
THEIR RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS
REGARDING EXUAL HARASSMENT.
AND FINALLY THIS WILL
STRENGTHENS PROVISIONS THAT
WOULD EXTEND EMPLOYMENT
PROTECTIONS TO VICTIMS OF
HARASSMENT AS WELL AS TO THE
MEDIA FAMILY MEMBERS OF VICTIMS.
WHO TAKE TIME OFF FROM WORK TO
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE
SURVIVOR SEEKING RELIEF OF
OBTAINING SERVICES AND
COUNSELING?
I WITH ME TODAY TO SOME BAD.
IT LOOKS LIKE CAITLYN VEGA IN
SUPPORT I'M SPEAKING I SUPPORT
OF AB.
THIRTY TO ONE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH TWO MINUTES EACH RIDE WITH%
SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHO THAT GUY
WAS ON THE AND VERY FOR HUTCH.
TO MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS
CAITLIN VACANT FOR THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION WE
ARE HERE IN STRONG SUPPORT --
WE HAVE WORKED OUT BOTH WITH
THIS COMMITTEE AND WITH OUR
AUTHOR HERE --
FINE HOW TO TRY TO
SYSTEMATICALLY ADDRESS THE
CHALLENGES THAT WORKERS FACE
THAT MAKE IT HARD TO COME
FORWARD AND REPORT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND MAKE IT HARD TO
ENFORCE THE LAWS TO PROTECT THEM.
I'M ONE OF THE TYPES OF WORKERS
THAT IS MOST AT RISK THESE DAYS
I'M ARE TEMPORARY AND CONTRACT
WORKERS INCREASINGLY COMPANIES
DO NOT WANT TO HIRE DIRECTLY.
THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE IN THEIR
BUILDINGS THAT --
FUEL THEIR BUSINESSES INSTEAD
THEY WANT TO USE LABOR
CONTRACTORS WILL THEN THOSE
LABOR CONTRACTORS COMMITTED USES
AND THE COMPANY AT THE TOP SAYS
YOU'RE NOT MINE I'M NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU.
WE FIXED THAT PROBLEM A COUPLE
YEARS AGO WITH RESPECT TO WAGE
FAST WORKER HEALTH AND SAFETY
AND WORKERS COMPENSATION.
BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T FIX IT FOR
WITH SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND
DISCRIMINATION AND INCREASINGLY
THOSE ARE THE WORKERS THAT WE
ARE HEARING FROM AND THOSE ARE
THE WORKERS WHO ALSO DESERVE TO
BE PROTECTED.
SAID THIS BILL WOULD SIMPLY
OUTSIDE BY THOSE CATEGORIES TO
WHAT IS ARE ALREADY EXISTING
PROTECTIONS FOR TEMP WORKERS.
IN ADDITION AN EMPLOYER IS IN A
FAR BETTER POSITION TO PROVE
THAT A WORKER HAS DONE SOMETHING
WRONG AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE
FIRED BEEN A WORKER IS TO PROVE.
AND THAT THEY WERE RETALIATED
AGAINST BE.
DR REFUSING THE ADVANCES OF A
SUPERVISOR OR AN EMPLOYER AND
STILL THE REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION
BASICALLY SAYS OKAY IF YOU WERE
FIRED AFTER YOU REPORTED SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
WE'RE GONNA PUT THE BURDEN ON
THE BOSS TO SHOW WHY THAT WAS
JUSTIFIED UNDID COMMENT IN THE
ANALYSIS BY THE OPPOSITION SAYS.
YOU KNOW IF A WORKER CAME IN AND
STOLE THE NEXT DAY THEY BE
PROTECTED BECAUSE THEY FILED A
SEXUAL HARASSMENT CLAIM.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE
EMPLOYERS WILL BE ARE ALWAYS
ALLOWED TO FIRE WORKERS WHO
VIOLATE THE RULES ALL THEY HAVE
TO DO IS SAY THAT THAT'S WHY
THEY DID IT.
ON BEYOND THE BURDEN IS PROPERLY
ON THEM RATHER THAN ON THE
WORKER THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY
MUCH NEXT WITNESS PLEASE.
VERY BROAD ON BEHALF OF A NUMBER
OF UNIONS BUT IN PARTICULAR I'D
LIKE DIMENSIONS TIE THE SCREEN
ACTOR'S GUILD.
BOB WHICH IS VERY STRONGLY
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BILL ON I
THIS LATEST ROUND AS YOU RECALL
OF THE DISCUSSION OF THIS ISSUE
REALLY.
A ROSE FROM.
THINGS THAT WERE GOING ON IN THE
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY ON AND
THEN IT SPREAD REALLY THROUGHOUT
THE REST OF SOCIETY.
THIS BILL AND A NUMBER OF OTHER
BILLS MOVING THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE ARE REALLY DOING A
GOOD JOB [inaudible]
AT ADDRESSING.
OF THESE ISSUES AND HE IN THAT
INDUSTRY.
WITH THIS PROBLEM SADLY IS
RAMPANT.
AND I HATE IT IT'S REALLY GOING
TO HELP.
DOCTORS OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE IN A
PRETTY VULNERABLE.
HE HE WITH REGARD TO SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TO EROSION I FELT
THANK.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT IF YOU'D STEP FORWARD
PLEASE WITH YOUR NAME AND
AFFILIATION.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR TRISTEN

THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN SMITH

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF
UNIVERSITY WOMEN FOR CALIFORNIA
IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
HUGE STEP FORWARD PLEASE TWO
MINUTES EACH.
HELLO GOOD AFTERNOON MARK CURTIS
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WHO
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AS TO
BY MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS AND
THAT DAY CLIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE IS OPPOSED TO IT --
AB THIRTY EIGHTY ONE AGAIN WE
ARE OPPOSED TO THE POLICY ISSUES
BEHIND IT --
EMPLOYERS DO NOT WANT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE AND
AND THEY DO WANNA PREVENTED US
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE BUT OUR
CONCERNS WITH THIS ARE THE
ACTUAL AND LANGUAGE OF THE BILL.
EIGHT IS IT ALLOWS FOR NEW
PROVISIONS DUPLICATE TIVE
PROVISIONS AND CONTRADICTORY
PROVISIONS TATAMI PLACE IN THE
LABOR CODE REGARDING SEXUAL
HARASSMENT PREVENTION AND
REGULATIONS OF THOSE ARE
CURRENTLY IN THE GOVERNMENT CODE
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF FAIR
EMPLOYMENT HOUSING HAS
JURISDICTION OVER THESE ISSUES.
AT THE DETAILS IN THE GOVERNMENT
CODE AND THEIR REGULATIONS ARE
SO SPECIFIC THAT THEY ACTUALLY
DETERMINE THE FONT SIZE FOR THE
NOTICE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE TO
GO OUT TO EMPLOYEES.
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF FAIR
EMPLOYMENT HOUSING MEASURE THIS
BILL DOES IS IT NOW REQUIRES THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER TO INTAKE
THESE CLAIMS AND I REQUIRES THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER TO LOOK AT
THESE CLAIMS AND ALLOWS FOR THEM
TO HAVE THEIR OWN REGULATIONS ON
THESE CLAIMS.
THERE'S NO CONTINUITY SNOW
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THE DEPARTMENT
OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT HOUSING AND
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER NOW
HAVING SIMULTANEOUS JURISDICTION
OVER THESE ISSUES.
EMPLOYERS ARE ALREADY CONFUSED
ENOUGH --
AGAIN IF THE EMPLOYERS ARE TOLD
WHAT TO DO HOW TO DO IT A AT
LEAST FOR OUR MEMBERS THEY ARE
GOING TO THE TO COMPLY THEY WANT
TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW BUT NOW
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE DUPLICATE.
PROVISIONS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF
THE CODE AND THAT'S GONNA BE A
HUGE ISSUE ESPECIALLY FOR
SMALLER EMPLOYERS WHO ARE TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO COMPLY WHEN
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO COMPLY.
AND TO HAS THE AUTHORITY OVER
THESE ISSUES --
ADDITIONALLY --
THEM GONZALEZ FLETCHER LAST YEAR
TRIED A SIMILAR TACTIC WHEREBY
SHE HAD A BILL THAT PUT
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH TO
DISCRIMINATION IN THE LABOR CODE
AND THE DEPRIVE THE GOVERNOR IN
HIS VETO EXPLICITLY SAID I
BELIEVE THAT THESE TYPES OF
CLAIMS REMAIN WITHIN THE
JURISDICTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
FOR EMPLOYMENT HOUSING.
QUICKLY I'D LIKE TO TOUCH ON THE
JOINT EMPLOYER LIABILITY PIECE
THE JOINT EMPLOYER LIABILITY
PIECE IN THIS REGARD IS
DIFFERENT --
AT THE CURRENT TO EMPLOYER
LIABILITY HAS TO DO WITH WORKERS
COMPENSATION CERTIFICATES AND
PAY DATA AND THAT INFORMATION IS
READILY IDENTIFIABLE ISSUES OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT ACTUALLY DEALS
WITH THE ACTIONS OF EMPLOYEES.
THOUGH COURTS AND OUR THERE'S
ALREADY LIABILITY FOR A JOINT
EMPLOYERS WHERE THEY HAVE
CONTROL OVER SOMEONE ELSE'S
EMPLOYEES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHAKE YOU
NEXT WITNESS.
A MANAGER CHRIS MCKAY WE ARE
BEHALF OF THE AMBULANCE
ASSOCIATION I WANT TO RAISE TWO
DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH THE
COMMITTEE --
IN YOUR ANALYSIS FIVE ON
EXTENDING THE WORKPLACE
PROTECTIONS TO VICTIMS AND
FAMILY MEMBERS --
OUR CONCERN ARE TWO FOLD ONE IS
AND THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT
LIMITED --
TO INSTANCES IN WHICH A VICTIMS
ARE EIGHTEEN YEARS OF AGE OR
YOUNGER TO EXTEND THOSE
PROVISIONS OF THE FAMILY MEMBER --
WHICH YOU CAN FIND IN THE UDDI.
SORRY IN SITU OF THOSE TWO
SECTIONS AND THEN THE OTHER IS.
OF LANGUAGE THAT WOULD
ESSENTIALLY REQUIRE THE SAME
CERTIFICATION --
IN DEED TWO ONE AND WHEN THE
EMPLOYER.
WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME AFTER
THE ABSENCE THE EMPLOYEE HAS TO
PROVIDE A CERTIFICATION.
THAT DOES NOT OCCUR IN DE.
ONE WHEN THEY GIVE ADVANCE
NOTICE AND WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THE SAME CERTIFICATION LANGUAGE.
IN BOTH INSTANCES AS WELL AS FOR
THE FAMILY MEMBER.

BEING PROPERLY TAKEN.

LIKE TO RAISES IN SECTION THREE
OF THE BILL.
IN A EIGHT WHICH IS THE
REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION LANGUAGE
THAT'S BEEN REFERRED TO A

SEVEN OF THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
ADDITIONALLY I WANT O THANK THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THE DILIGENT

CHANGES TO THE LABOR CODE TO
ASSIST CALIFORNIA'S BEARS

EVERY WITNESSES IN SUPPORT I DO
HAVE SOME WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN MY
NAME IS MIKE WEST AND I
REPRESENT DISTRICT COUNCIL
SIXTEEN PAINTERS AND ALLIED
TRADES THE SPONSOR THIS BILL.
I WANT TO DESCRIBE TO YOU ON THE
PROCESS BY WHICH OUR JOINT LABOR
MANAGEMENT GROUP INVESTIGATES
POSSIBLE PREVAILING WAGE
VIOLATIONS.
OFTEN A COMPLAINT WILL COME
DIRECTLY FROM AN EMPLOYER WHO
BIDS A PROJECT RELATIVELY CLOSE
TO THEIR SHOP WHICH REQUIRES
PREVAILING WAGE AND FRINGE
BENEFITS AND GETS BEATEN OUT.
OF THE JOB BY AN EMPLOYER FROM
POSSIBLY OUT OF THE AREA --
BY A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT.
NOW LET'S THE BAD ACTORS
PLANNING ON NOT MAKING ANY MONEY
YOU'RE GOING NEGATIVE ON THE
PROJECT WHICH IS UNLIKELY THEY
FIND A WAY THROUGH VARIOUS
SCHEMES TO CHEAT THEIR WORKERS
OUT OF PREVAILING WAGE --
THEY SEND OUT MOST MULTIPLE
REQUESTS FOR THE PREVAILING WAGE
REPORTS AND AFTER THE THIRD
REQUESTING COPY THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER --
THE REASON FOR MULTIPLE REQUESTS
BEFORE NOTIFYING THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S NOT TO OVERWHELM
THEM WITH CASES WHEN POSSIBLY
THE AGENCIES ARE JUST.
SLOW TO RESPOND.
I'M SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE
DIR AS WELL ATTENDED CPR SYSTEM
OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS THE
PROBLEM HAS ACTUALLY BECOME
WORSE -- THE
AWARDING AGENCIES NO LONGER
RESPOND TO THE REQUEST FOR THE
CPR'S STATING THAT THE
CONTRACTORS HAVE THE ABILITY. TO
UPLOAD THOSE DIRECTLY --
IMAGINE INVESTIGATING THESE
COMPLAINTS KNOWN THAT THE
WORKERS TRAVEL FROM OUT OF THE
AREA.
AND WORKED OVERTIME SLIPPED IN
THEIR CARS AND THEN HAD --
TO NOT.
GET THE PREVAILING WAGE THAT
THEY THAT THEY DESERVE COME WE
BELIEVE THAT IF THIS BILL IS
PASSED IT'LL TAKE SOME OF THE
PRESSURE OFF THE DIR IN THE FORM
OF FULL BLOWN CASES BY
COMPELLING AWARDING AGENCY.
APPLY WITH THE FIRST REQUEST --
FOR THE PREVAILING WAGE REPORTS
WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST

NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE BUT MISTER

LET ME START OF BY ACCEPTING OF
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS --
BUT I DO WANT AYE I DO WANNA
CAUTION ON SOME OF THE
AMENDMENTS AND AT YET I'M ALSO
ENCOURAGE BY THE CHAIRS ABILITY
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH US ON
THIS ISSUE.
AND I CAN MAKE A A VERY GOOD
CASE THE WHY THOSE ISSUES.
I REVISITED UP LIKELY BECAUSE
THE IN THE INABILITY LA DOT FOR
THE BELIEVER DOCTORS DETERMINE
WHETHER THERE SIX MONTHS.
OR OF OR LESS OF LIFE ON AN
INDIVIDUAL --
IT IS A BIT CHALLENGING FOR ME
BUT I I ACCEPT I WANT TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON A I STARTED
OUT BY SAYING ACCEPTANCE AND AN
INSECT IN A PILOT PROGRAM AND I
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES --
THE BILL NARROWER OF THE
BUILDING THEN THEN --
THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUT NONE THE
LESS I'M I'M ENCOURAGED WITH
CONTINUING TO WORK ON THIS AMP --
ON THIS BILL AND THE SHORT OF IT
IS REALLY AS THAT WE'RE TRYING
TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION.
OF CONSERVANCY ARE GRAVELY
DISABLED OUGHT TO INCLUDE
MEDICAL NECESSITY AND WE WE
BELIEVE THAT BY DOING THAT WE
CAN SAVE A LIVES IN HOMELESS
POPULATION IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
FOR EXAMPLE AND ANY OF OUR
CITIES.
LEGALLY THE ONES THAT I
REPRESENT COUNTY LOS ANGELES --
THERE ARE THERE ARE MULTITUDES
OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HOMELESS THAT
HAVE MEDICAL NECESSITY AND I
WOULD ARGUE THAT IT IS A MORE
HUMANE THING TO DO. TO GIVE THEM
THAT MEDICAL ATTENTION --
RATHER THAN TO LET THEM US
SUFFER OR POTENTIALLY HIGH DIE
ON THE STREET.
I'D THAT.
FOLLOWED ACCEPTED IT OUR THAT
SIX MONTHS --
LEFT TO LIVE IS PROBABLY A
REALLY COOL THRESHOLD BECAUSE WE
WANT TO CAP TO THEM BEFORE THEY
GET TO THAT POINT --
BUT I'M ENCOURAGED BY THE DEBATE
AND WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS AND WE MIGHT JOIN
AUTHOR OF MISTREATMENT WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO GO OUT PRESENT
[inaudible]
HERE --
THANK YOU MISTER SHARON MEMBERS
AS YOU ALL KNOW WE HAVE FAR TOO
MANY PEOPLE LIVING ON OUR
STREETS UNFORTUNATELY FAR TOO
MANY PEOPLE DYING ON THE STREETS.
AND WE SEE PEOPLE EVERY DAY WHO
CLEARLY DO NOT HAVE THE MENTAL
CAPACITY BECAUSE OF THEIR MENTAL
ILLNESS TO BE ABLE TO ASCERTAIN
THEIR OWN HEALTH NEEDS.
I'M OR TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN
HEALTH NEEDS AND IF WE
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MENTAL ILLNESS
IS INDEED AN ILLNESS IT MAKES
SENSE OF BIG THEN EXPANDED
DEFINITION OF GRAVELY DISABLED
WHICH WE HAVE NOW FOR PHYSICAL
AILMENTS BUT NOT FOR MENTAL
AILMENTS --
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE UNABLE --
TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN NEEDS
AND I WILL SAY THAT THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE OPPONENTS OF THIS BILL
ARE ALL GOOD PEOPLE THERE ARE NO
BAD GUYS IN THIS DISCUSSION
EVERYBODY HAS VERY LEGITIMATE
pAND WE'VE DONE OUR BEST TO TRY
TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS AND
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TO ADDRESS
THOSE CONCERNS.
AT THE SAME TIME DOING NOTHING
CHAMPION OPTION BECAUSE WE SEE
PEOPLE DYING ON THE STREETS.
WHAT BOTHERED ME ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SANTIAGO AND I TOOK A TRIP TO
SKID ROW RECENTLY WHICH IS IN
HIS DISTRICT RIGHT NOT ADJACENT
TO MY DISTRICT?
AND THE SERVICE PROVIDERS
THEY'RE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE
FRONT LINE IN HELPING THE
HOMELESS POPULATION SAY IT SAID
TO US.
WE CAN WALK AROUND AND POINT OUT
THE PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW WILL BE
DEAD WITHIN A YEAR WE KNOW THAT
BECAUSE THEY HAVE.
WELL I'M HEALTH ISSUES AND AND
CO MORBIDITY ISSUES BUT BECAUSE
OF THEIR MENTAL ILLNESSES THEY
CANNOT ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS AND
WE KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO DIE AND
RIGHT NOW THE CURRENT LAW.
MAKES US HELPLESS TO HELP THOSE
PEOPLE AND THAT'S WHY THIS BILL
IS NECESSARY NOW WE'VE HAD SOME
PEOPLE WHO'VE SAID THAT.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH --
RESOURCES OUT THERE TO HELP US
POPULATION BUT MY RESPONSES
DON'T LET THE PERFECT BE THE
ENEMY OF THE GOOD WHETHER WE
HAVE THE RESOURCES OR NOT WE
STILL MEET THE LEGAL MECHANISM.
TO BE ABLE TO DECLARE THIS THIS
VERY UNIQUE POP AT AND
VULNERABLE POPULATION DISABLED
SO THAT IF AND WHEN THE
RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE ONCE IT
WAS FRENCH FOR SOME PEOPLE THE
RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE.
WE CAN GET THEM THE HELP THEY
NEED FOR THE SEVENTY TWO HOUR
HOLD.
IS NOT ENOUGH TO HELP THIS
POPULATION AND I BELIEVE THAT TO
DO NOTHING.
CAMPION OPTION WHEN YOU HAVE A
PUBLIC ON THAT WERE FACING ON
THE STREETS OF OUR OF A LOT OF
OUR INNER CITIES WITHOUT I
RESPECTFULLY WOULD REQUEST AN
AYE VOTE.
AND I WILL TURN NOW TO OUR OTHER
PRINCIPLE CO AUTHOR SOME MEMBER
PHILLIP CHEN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH NOW WHERE
THANK YOU SO NEVER SANTIAGO
SIMILAR FRIEDMAN --
FOR ALL THE SUPPORT AND BEING
HERE TODAY ON AS ONE AND
HIGHLIGHT THREE THINGS THE FIRST
ONE HIGLIGHT IS.
THE REFERENCE OF THEM SAYING
THAT THIS BILL CHANGE THE COURT.
DUE PROCESS IT DOES NOT OFFER
ANY CIVIL LIBERTY PROTECTIONS.
THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE A. B.
NINETEEN SOMEONE SIMPLY EXPANDS
THE DEFINITION OF GREATNESS ABLE
WHICH IS WITHIN LPS CURRENTLY.
ALL LPS PROTECTIONS REMAIN
UNTOUCHED.
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE THE RIGHT
TO JUDICIAL REVIEW. THREE THE
CHARGES AND EVIDENCE TO PRESENT
OWN SELF IN COURT WITH WITNESSES.
TO APPEAL TO HAVE REPRESENTATION
THAT IS PROVIDED BY THE PUBLIC
DEFENDER'S OFFICE NOT TO HAVE A
TRIAL SO AGAIN I JUST WANT TO
REITERATE.
UNDER THIS BILL SHOULD
INDIVIDUAL THAT FITS THE
CRITERIA OF GREELEY DISABLED
THEY CAN SO JACKED VIA A TRIAL
OR THE PUBLIC DEFENDER.
AB NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE LEAVES
ALL THESE PROTECTIONS IN PLACE
FURTHERMORE THE MEDICAL
COMPONENT EDITION OF THE BILL
HAS ITS ROOTS IN MENTAL HEALTH
WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT.
SO THE EXAMPLE TO GIVE IS.
IF THERE'S A PERSON A STREET
THAT HAD GANGRENE.
UNDER THAT SPECIFIC EXAMPLE.
THE STATE.
REPUBLICAN ANTHONY CANNOT COME
IN AND SAY WE'RE GOING TO
INVOLUNTARY TREAT YOU.
ONLY IF THE ISSUES ROUTE IS BY
POLITICAL TO FRAME YOU.
A MENTAL HEALTH BEHAVIOR HEALTH
ISSUE.
AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO
RECOGNIZE OF THEIR PHYSICAL
AGAIN GREEN ISSUE.
DOES A PUBLIC ENTITY COME INTO
THAT SPECIFIC EXAMPLE.
THE SECOND ISSUE THAT IS OFTEN
BROUGHT UP IS THERE'S NO MONEY.
THAT THIS IS EXPANSION GRAVELY
DISABLED THAT WOULD FLOOD THE
MEDICAL SYSTEM.
WELL IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN THERE'S
A BUDGET AUGMENTATION AS YOU
KNOW. THREE HUNDRED TWELVE
MILLION IS GOING TO OVERALL
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES. THREE
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION.
IN ONE TIME FUNDING FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO COMBAT THE
HOMELESS ISSUE.
AND FINALLY.
THERE IS TWO POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS OF HUNTSMAN.
AN HSA FUNDS RIGHT NOW AS WE
SPEAK.
ARM AS A FORMER MENTAL HEALTH
AND HOME WAS POLICY THAT BEFORE
LA COUNTY SUPERVISOR MIKE
ANTONOVICH FOR TEN YEARS.
AND I'VE SEEN THE ISSUE OF
HOMELESSNESS.
AND MENTAL HEALTH IMPACT.
WELL THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
IT DOESN'T CARE WHETHER
REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.
RICHARD POOR MALE OR FEMALE.
AND THOUGH FUNDS ARE AN
IMPORTANT COMPONENT AS DOES NOT
TAKE AWAY THE FACT.
BUT OUR CRIMINAL WHOLE SYSTEM
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
IS BROKEN.
AND PUTTING ADDITIONAL FUNDS
INTO A BROKEN SYSTEM DOES NOT
SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
IT IS NOT TAKE WITH THE FACT
THAT WITH ALL THE SERVICES
AVAILABLE TO A SPECIFIC GROUP.
THERE ARE MOST AT RISK IN MOST
VULNERABLE.
THE NOT CANNOT BE GIVEN
TREATMENT.
AS LONG AS THEY CAN FIND SHELTER
ON THE STREETS.
OR CAN EAT FOOD FROM A GARBAGE
CAN.
I'M I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME I
HOPE WE ASK FOR SUPPORT.
THANK YOU ASSUME AND NUMBER CHEN
WE HERE'S A GIVE. TWO MINUTES TO
TWO WITNESSES TO MINUTES EACH SO
THAT'S KIND OF WHAT ABOUT FOUR
MINUTES FROM WITH EVERYONE.
SO NOW WE WILL JUST TAKE
WITNESSES AND SUPPORT WOULD MEAN
THERE HAS COME.
WELL HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BEING
WHISPERED TO HEAR SO.
SO IT WOULD HELP ME OUT.
WHERE WE GO WE HAVE ANY?

THINGS FOOD CLOTHING SHELTER
WITH A. B. NINETY SEVEN ON LOOK
TO ADD MEDICAL CARE IS A FOURTH
BASIC NEED.
HER TO CLARIFY THE GREAT
DISABILITY DEFINITION AND IN SO
DOING RALLY OUR SYSTEMS OF CARE
FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE MOST
VULNERABLE IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
WE BELIEVE THIS CLARIFICATION
WILL SAVE LIVES I MIGHT OTHER
EXCEPT THE STOOGES OF NEGLECT I
WILL JUST POINT OUT THAT THE
LIFE EXPECTANCY OF AN INDIVIDUAL
SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESSES TWENTY
TO THIRTY YEARS SHORTER.
OVER EIGHT HUNDRED PEOPLE IN THE
STREETS OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY
DIED LAST YEAR AND IN FACT RIGHT
NOW THERE'S RESEARCH SUGGESTING
THAT.
THOSE WITH SERIOUS MENTAL
ILLNESS ALSO ARE AT GREATER
DISPOSITION FOR PHYSICAL ILLNESS.
NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR LIFESTYLE
BUT POTENTIALLY BECAUSE OF
GENETIC AND EPIGENETIC FACTORS.
WE ARE LOOKING --
TO RECOGNIZE GAY DISABILITY TO
AVOID.
CORD WRAP IT UP --
TO AVOID HARM IN THE ACUTE PHASE
BUT ALSO IN THE CHRONIC PHASE TO
PREVENT THE EVOLUTION OF
IMMINENT HARM SURROGATE DECISION

UNDERSTAND HIS CIVIL RIGHTS.
I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH IN OUR
JUDGES THE LEGAL SYSTEM TO
BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN DISCERN
BETWEEN SOMEONE WHO IS
MODERATELY INCAPACITATED AND
PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY ILLNESS.
OR THOSE THAT ARE GRAVELY
DISABLED.
AB NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE IS ABOUT
THOSE WHO LACK PASSED CITY IN
CANNOT MAKE DECISIONS FOR
THEMSELVES SUCH AS OUR BROTHER
WITH IRREVERSIBLE BRAIN DAMAGE
THAT EVENTUALLY LED TO PASS
PARANOID SCHIZOPHRENIA.
THE COMES A TIME WHEN CIVIL
RIGHTS NEED TO BE WEIGHED AS TO
WHETHER THOSE CIVIL RIGHTS LEAD
TO INJURY SELF INFLICTED OR
OTHERWISE ILLNESS OR EVEN EARLY
DEATH IN YOU MAINLY ON THE
STREETS [inaudible]
IF.
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IF YOU
SAY THAT.
MY BROTHER CIVIL RIGHTS ARE MORE
IMPORTANT.
BUT HE CANNOT EVEN COMPREHEND
THE HE'S GOING TO DIE ON THE
STREETS HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT CIVIL RIGHTS ARE.
WHAT IT MEANS OR WHAT THE
CONSEQUENCES ARE OF HIS ACTIONS
OR HIS DECISIONS?
PRETTY SUPPORT NINETEEN SEVENTY

THIRD WITNESS --

NAM THE PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE
BUT HERE I'M SPEAKING IS MOTHER --
MY DAUGHTER HAS GET SO EFFECTIVE
DISORDER.
SHE LIVED SEND DEPENDENTLY IN
SUPPORT OF HOUSING VERY
SUCCESSFULLY IN SANTA BARBARA
COUNTY.
BUT A DECADE AGO FOR
APPROXIMATELY EIGHT YEARS IN HER
TWENTIES SHE LIVED MOSTLY ON THE
STREET IN A PSYCHOTIC STATE.
DURING THAT TIME SHE DEVELOPED A
VERY SEE --
WITHIN ACCESS THAT CONTINUED TO
GROW -- IN
HER MIND SHE THIS LIVING IN A
BUTTERFLY GROWTH AND EVERYTHING
WAS FINE AND SO SHE WOULDN'T.
ACCEPT TREATMENT --
MY REPEATEDLY CALLING IN
PLEADING WITH COUNTY MENTAL
HEALTH AT NINE ONE ONE FOUR
FIFTY ONE FIFTY WAS OF NO USE.
AS MY DAUGHTER WAS SAID NOT TO
MEET CRITERIA --
FOR HOSPITALIZATION THAT TIME WE
WERE FORTUNATE BECAUSE WHEN --
SHE SUBSEQUENTLY DECOMPENSATED --
TO A STATE WHERE SHE NO LONGER
KNEW SHE NEEDED TO EAT SHE THEN
QUALIFIED FOR INVOLUNTARY
HOSPITALIZATION --
AND SHE OF SECURITY TEMPORARY
LPS CONSERVATORSHIP FOR A YEAR
AND IT CHANGED HER LIFE.
AND THAT'S WHY SHE'S DOING SO
WELL NOW --
BUT OTHERS ARE NOT SO LUCKY AS
SOMEONE WITH YEARS OF LIVED
EXPERIENCE OF SUDDENLY MEMBER I
SUPPORT OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY
AND I'VE SEEN OTHER SUCH CASES
SINCE.
I'M TRYING TO WORK WITH THOSE
PARENTS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE RENTAL HAGER FOR THE
CALIFORNIA PSYCHIATRIC
ASSOCIATION WERE CUT PROUD CO
SPONSORS OF THIS LEGISLATION
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS SYLVIA
SOLELY SHAUN BEHALF OF THE CITY
OF LOS ANGELES THE CITY OF SANTA
MONICA AND THE CALIFORNIA
ACADEMY OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
PSYCHIATRY ALL IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE THINKING OF I
MEAN YOUR HOOR FOR US WITH THE
STEINBERG INSTITUTE ALSO CO
SPONSORS OF THIS.
BILL WE HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS BUT LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH THE COMMITTEE AND
STAKEHOLDERS TO CREATE A BETTER
BILL THINK YOU.
MISTER MEMBER SAYS IDEA SOMEHOW
PUT STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL AND
MY BROTHER MONEY OF THE US.
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS BOB JR
ON BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL UNION
HEALTHCARE WORKERS WERE WE
REPRESENT SOME.
SIX THOUSAND MENTAL HEALTH
CLINICIANS STATEWIDE WE SUPPORT
THE BILL.
BOB THOUGHT ANYONE ELSE IN
SUPPORT.
ALRIGHT OPPOSITION --
COME FORWARD TO WE HAVE.
PEOPLE WHO THE SESSION.
THAT'S A CASE WE NEED.
TO CLEAR THE TABLE.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS PER CHILD
DISABILITY RIGHTS CALIFORNIA.
I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF A
COALITION OF CIVIL RIGHTS
DISABILITY RIGHTS OF HOMELESS
ADVOCATES A IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS -- BILL
WE HAVE --
THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS BEEN
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL IN THE
ESSENCE OF THAT IS WE ARE
EXPANDING INVOLUNTARY CARE FOR
INDIVIDUALS WE HAVE HISTORICALLY
BEEN OPPOSED TO THOSE EFFORTS
FROM THE DAYS WHEN TWENTY THIRTY
YEARS AGO.
WHEN WE FINALLY MADE DECISIONS
TO DE INSTITUTIONALIZE
INDIVIDUALS --
IN CALIFORNIA --
AND ANY TIME WE MOVE MORE IN THE
DIRECTION OF A INVOLUNTARY
TREATMENT WE ARE BRINGING
INDIVIDUALS BACK INTO
INSTITUTIONALIZED SETTING.
BUT LET ME JUST SAY --
THAT I THINK THE COUNCIL'S
ANALYSIS FOR THE COMMITTEE
REALLY CUT TO THE CHASE ON THE
KEY ISSUES AND IN THIS BILL --
FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE A STANDARD
THAT I THINK IT.
CERTAINLY CONSTITUTIONALLY SAW
IT'S VAGUENESS AND IT IS IN ITS.
BREATH AND THE RECOMMENDED --
AMENDMENTS I GO DIRECTLY TO I
THINK DOING A A FIX ON THAT --
THE THE REAL KEY PIECE THAT I
THINK IS IMPORTANT AND AGAIN
THAT -- THE
ANALYSIS RECOMMENDS IS THAT
THERE MUST BE A TIE FOR THESE
INDIVIDUALS TO SERVICES --
IT IF INDEED WHERE TO BE HELD AS
YOU HEARD --
THE AUTHOR SAY WE'VE GOT A
BROKEN SYSTEM WHY WOULD WE BRING
MORE PEOPLE INTO A BROKEN SYSTEM
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS
HAPPENING HERE WE NEED TO BUILD
THAT BACK AND THAT HAS BEEN
PROMISED AND RIGHT NOW IT'S ONLY
BEEN PROMISED.
THAT THERE WILL BE WRAPAROUND
SERVICES THAT THERE WILL BE
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING --
FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS JUST WORK
LAURA'S LAW THAT WAS PASSED BY
THIS LEGISLATURE AFTER YEARS OF
DISCUSSION AND DEBATE GETTING TO
WE NEED TO USE THOSE TOOLS. TO
ENSURE THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS
WILL RECEIVE THE HOUSING AND
WILL RECEIVE THE CARE THAT WILL
INDEED KEEP THEM --
OFF THE STREET AND TO RECOGNIZE
THESE PROMISES THAT WE HAVE --
TO INDIVIDUALS --
FOR THEIR ONGOING CARE --
SO WHILE WE REMAIN OPPOSED --
WE WE REALLY UP THE WORK THAT
THE COMMITTEE HAS DONE TO MOVE
THIS BILL IN A DIRECTION THAT
WILL NOT HAVE IS THAT AS MANY
HARMFUL EFFECTS ON INDIVIDUALS --
AS AND IT'S ORIGINALLY BROUGHT
TO THIS COMMITTEE --
THANK YOU.
VERY MUCH SIX WITNESS PLEASE I'M
SCOLDED HUGHES ON THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR FOR THE CALIFORNIA
STATE ASSOCIATION OF PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATORS PUBLIC GUARDIANS
AND PUBLIC CONSERVATORS.
THAT WE REPRESENT THE PUBLIC
GARDENING CONSERVATIVES IN THE
COUNTIES THAT DO LPS
CONSERVATORSHIP.
AND ALTHOUGH THIS MEASURE IS
WELL INTENTIONED OUR ASSOCIATION
OPPOSES THE BILL BECAUSE OF THE
PUBLIC GARDENING CONSERVATIVES
IN THE COUNTIES HAVE VERY HIGH
CASELOADS.
AND THIS BILL WILL INCREASE THE
WORKLOAD FOR THEM WITHOUT ANY
DEDICATED FUNDING.
THIS WILL BE ANOTHER UNFUNDED
MANDATE FOR PUBLIC GUARDIAN
CONSERVATORS THE AUTHOR CONTENDS
THAT THE STATE HAS PROVIDED
COUNTIES WITH FUNDING FOR
CONSERVATORSHIP.
TOOK THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
ACT REALIGNMENT AND HOMELESS
BILL.
THOSE SERVICES ARE EITHER NOT
AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC GUARDIAN AND
CONSERVATIVES ARE EXTREMELY
LIMITED. FOR EXAMPLE THE MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES ACT FUNDS CANNOT
BE USED FOR INVOLUNTARY
TREATMENT PROGRAMS SUCH AS LPS
CONSERVATORSHIP.
MENTAL HEALTH REALIGNMENT FUNDS
CAN ALL THEY ONLY HAVE TO PAY
FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF A
CONSERVATORSHIP NOT THE ONGOING
CASE MANAGEMENT.
AND THE RECENT HOMELESS BILL
THAT WAS PASSED THE MENTAL
HEALTH CLIENTS OF IN THAT BILL
NONE OF THAT MONEY WAS ALLOCATED
FOR PUBLIC GUARDIAN CONSERVATORS
IT WAS JUST FOR PROGRAMS THAT
HAVE ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED.
IN ADDITION PUBLIC GARDENING
CONSERVATIVES CAN NOT PART THE
PAY AND THE SB NINETY CLAIM
PROCESS FOR UNFUNDED MANDATES.
THE INDIVIDUALS CONCERNED UNDER
THIS NEW PROVISION WILL NOT BE
PLACED AND SECURED SETTINGS
BECAUSE THERE'S AN EXTREME
SHORTAGE OF PLACEMENTS.
I AS A FORMER PUBLIC GUARDING
CONSERVATIVE HAVE HAD THE
PLACEMENT ILLEGAL CLIENTS IN
MOTELS AND MANAGE THEM IN THAT
SETTING BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE
ANYWHERE ELSE TO PUT THEM.
MAKING A PUBLIC GARDEN
CONSERVATIVE RESPONSIBLE FOR
MORE INDIVIDUALS DOES NOT CREATE
RESOURCES* PLACEMENTS IT
JUST TAX THE PUBLIC GUARDIAN AND
CONSERVATIVE SEVERE THE BURDEN.
OF THE MENTALLY ILL HOMELESS
WITHOUT THE HELP THE PUBLIC
GUARDIAN CONSERVATIVES NEED.
AND IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR
THEM TO DO THEIR FIDUCIARY

YES.
OKAY SENATOR MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
AND I APOLOGIZE I'M GONNA HAVE
TO LEAVE SHORTLY BUT I DID HEAR
THIS IN HEALTH COMMITTEE.
I SUPPORTED IT PROVISIONALLY
BECAUSE I DID WANT TO SEE.
HOW THE PARTIES MIGHT BRIDGE THE
GAP KNOWING OF THE CHALLENGE
INHERENT IN THAT --
I THINK IT WAS YOUR CO AUTHOR
ASSEMBLY MEMBER --
FRIEDMAN WHO INDICATED THERE'S
THERE'S NO BAD GUYS IN THIS
CONVERSATION --
THERE'S CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
INTERESTS --
IN THERE'S FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN IN
HUMANITARIAN INTERESTS --
CAN I ASK SOME WILL LET ME START
WITH THE AUTHOR.
WAS THERE ANY ENGAGEMENT WITH
THE OPPOSITION SINCE THE HEALTH
COMMITTEE HEARING.
THE MEETING WE HAD YESTERDAY.
I DON'T I'M ASKING YOU I'M.
DID YOU HAVE ANY MEETINGS --
NO I WAS NOT ABLE TO HAVE ANY
MEANS BETWEEN YES.
BUT I WAS ENGAGED ENOUGH SINCE
HEALTH COMMITTEE DID YOU SIT
DOWN WITH THE OPPOSITION --
SINCE YESTERDAY NO.
NO YES WE HAD THE HEALTH
COMMITTEE LAST WEDNESDAY I ASKED
THE LAST ONE SERIOUS WAS LAST
WEDNESDAY.
THE SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE
HEARD THIS BILL.
NO I AM I PROVISIONAL SUPPORT
WAS BASED ON YOUR COMMITMENT
MISTER AUTHOR THAT YOU'RE GONNA
MEET WITH THE OPPOSITION.
AND TRY [inaudible]
TO FIND LANGUAGE.
IT MIGHT REMOVER NEUTRALIZE THAT
OPPOSITION YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU
HAVEN'T DONE THAT I HAVE NOT
PERSONALLY KNOW THE MADAM CHAIR
THE STAKEHOLDERS HAVE DONE THEY
HAVE THEM.
OKAY SO LET ME ASK THE
OPPOSITION.
WERE THERE CONVERSATIONS.
AMONG STAKEHOLDERS WITH.
OF PROPONENTS AND OPPONENTS GO
SENATOR I HAVEN'T PARTICIPATED
IN VOTE LET'S FIND OUT WHO DID
PARTICIPATE WHO DID PARTICIPATE.
WE WE PARTED WE HAD A GOOD
MEETING WITH THE HOSPITAL
ASSOCIATION WHICH THEY ARE HERE
AND THEY CAN SAY AND ALSO WITH
THE PUBLIC GUARDIANS --
THEN WE HAD A VERY LENGTHY
MEETING TO DISCUSS.
THIS BILL IN LENGTH WE ASK THEM
TO GIVE US AMENDMENTS WE ON
SEVERAL OCCASIONS BUT WITH A WE
HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY OKAY WANT
ME JUST SAY THAT T'S MY TURN TO
ASK THE QUESTIONS.
I'M DISAPPOINTED BASED ON THE
COMMITMENT THAT WAS MADE BY THE
AUTHOR I'M ALSO DISAPPOINTED.
IN THE AUTHORS.
RELUCTANCE IN SAYING YOU'RE
YOUR OPENING.
YOU SAID YOU WOULD ACCEPT THEM
AND THEN HE WENT ON TO SAY WHY
YOU DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE GOOD
AMENDMENTS --
IN JUST NOW YOU SHOW DISRESPECT
TO THE CHAIR IN SAYING YOU DON'T.
SUPPORT THESE AMENDMENTS SO MY
QUESTION IS.
WHEN YOU SAY YOU ACCEPT
AMENDMENTS ARE YOU CAN ACCEPT
THOSE IN GOOD FAITH AS THIS BILL
MOVES FORWARD?
YES AND THEN I SAID THAT FROM
THE VERY BEGINNING I SAID WE'RE
GONNA TALK CONTINUED TALK ABOUT
AND I MET WITH THE CHAIR EARLIER
ABOUT THAT --
BUT I DON'T THINK THEY WERE
DISRESPECTFUL.
HE ALSO TOLD ME LAST WEEK THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO MEET WITH THE
OPPOSITION.
SOUNDS LIKE THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN
NO I ECONOMIC WITH THE BUREAU.
LOOK THIS IS NOT AN EASY PROBLEM
TO SOLVE BUT IT IS A HUGE.
PUBLIC SAFETY PUBLIC HEALTH.
MENTAL HEALTH PUBLIC POLICY
CHALLENGE [inaudible]
AND FOR SOMEBODY TO BE PUT IN
THE POSITION. TWO OPPOSE THIS
BILL IN ESSENCE IS SAYING.
WE DON'T THINK PEOPLE.
WHO WERE NOT ONLY IN DECLINING
HEALTH BUT DYING?
SHOULD NOT BE RESPONDED --
TO IN A MORE AGGRESSIVE.
HANDS MANDATED FASHION.
ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THERE ARE NO FURTHER
APPROPRIATIONS WITH THIS BILL.
TO SUPPORT CONSERVATIVES TO
SUPPORT --
PLACEMENTS --
FOR HOUSING. FOR MEDICAL CARE
FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE THAT'S
THE GAP [inaudible]
BUT I THINK IT'S OUR OBLIGATION
[inaudible]
SET.
A GOAL THAT WE HAVE TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO GET TO IT.
IN WE MAY SET THAT GOAL IN A
MANNER THAT DOESN'T PROVIDE THE
ANSWERS OF HOW WE GET THERE.
I FEEL WE NEED TO MOVE IN THAT
DIRECTION BUT WE'RE NOT GONNA
GET THERE.
IF PARTIES DON'T CONTINUE TO
ENGAGE IN GOOD FAITH
CONVERSATION --
AND USE THIS LEGISLATURE IN
THESE COMMITTEES I DO WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
ITS WORK.
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S THE WORK
OF THE COMMITTEES. TO THIS
FRAMING OF AMENDMENTS THAT DON'T
SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS.
THEY ACTUALLY NARROW THE SCOPE
OF THE ORIGINAL BILL AND MAKING
IT A PILOT PROGRAM IN LIMITING
IT TO LA COUNTY I PERSONALLY
THINK [inaudible]
THAT IS.
A STARTING POINT.
IT DOESN'T ADDRESS EVERY.
PERSON THAT MIGHT BE SERVED BY
THIS STATEWIDE BUT IF WE CAN USE
THIS TO MOVE US FORWARD BENNETT
SIG IN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD --
MADAM CHAIR I'M NOT GONNA BE
ABLE TO SAY FOR FURTHER
CONVERSATION I WILL BE BACK TO
VOTE ON THE BILL.
LATER -- BUT
THE STAKES ARE TOO HIGH FOR
PEOPLE NOT TO HONOR COMMITMENTS
MADE. TO WORK ON FINDING
SOLUTIONS SO I JUST HOPE WE CAN
MOVE IN THAT DIRECTION AS THIS
MOVES FORWARD AND THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR MANAGING OUR MEMBERS
BONTA THAT.
AND IN JUST A MOMENT I WANT TO
ALSO BE VERY CLEAR THAT THESE
AMENDMENTS.
A AND YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
IS A VERY DIFFICULT ISSUE WE ARE
BALANCING.
A A VERY CLOSELY CONCERNS IN THE
RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS THE
LINIMENT PETRA SHORT ACT THE WAY
THE THE COURTS HAVE A DETERMINED
THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VERY
HIGH STANDARD WHEN YOU'RE TAKING
PEOPLE'S LIBERTY AWAY FROM THEM.
WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH
THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE WE HAVE
A SERIOUS PROBLEM FUNDING THOSE
WRAPAROUND SERVICES AND ONE OF
THE AMENDMENTS DOES SAY.
THAT YOU HAVE TO DO THAT IN
ORDER FOR CONSERVATORSHIP TO BE --
MADE ABOUT --
THAT YOU HAVE TO IT THERE IN
COURT HAS TO DETERMINE THAT
THERE ARE THE ADEQUATE SERVICES
SO THAT'S HOW WE TRY TO PROTECT
IT.
AND I WILL SAY THAT IF THERE'S
ANY QUESTION.
THAT THAT THESE AMENDMENTS ARE
AT A BAR DOES FOR FINDING THAT
SUDDENLY THEY DISAPPEAR UP WE
WILL BE I WILL YANK THIS BILL
BACK IN A HOT MINUTE.
BOB BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE
BECAUSE WE HAVE WORKED HARD ON
THESE AND I I AM GOING TO
OPERATE ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT
WE WILL IF ANYTHING MAKE THIS
BETTER IF WE CAN BUT CERTAINLY
NOT MAKE IT WORSE SO THAT.
THE I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE ME A
YES VERY GOOD SO WITH THAT I
CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO GIVE OF
THE AUTHOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO
RESPOND AND I APPRECIATE YOU
SAYING THAT BECAUSE I I DID SAY
THEY LOOK AYE.
AYE.
BONUSES OF A GROUP OF THEM BUT I
UNDERSTAND THE CHAIR'S
PREROGATIVE AND CERTAINLY WOULD
NOT DECLINE --
AMENDMENTS AND I AND I
APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE WITH
ME IF WE CAN COME TO A BETTER
SOLUTION I DID I AM VERY HAPPY
THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO TALK TO
ME ABOUT THAT.
AND THAT WAS MY REQUEST EARLIER
NOW IN TERMS OF NOT NOT MEETING
[inaudible]
LOOK.
WITH THEY'RE STILL ABOUT A MONTH
OR SO AGO SO I DON'T THINK THAT
COMMITMENT WAS NOT HONORED.
AND WHILE IT WHILE I MAYES
DISRESPECTFUL.
TRIED TO DO SO A RESPECTFULLY.
DISAGREE WITH THAT PORTION --
I WON'T SAY THAT IT WAS NOT
HONORED OR PREACHED [inaudible]
AND AND IF THE IF IT DIDN'T
HAPPEN WE STILL HAVE THE WE
STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO
CONTINUE THAT.
THAT PART I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE
TO ADD TO CLEAR UP.
THANK YOU WELL I DON'T WANT TO
BELABOR THIS ALTHOUGH THE
COMMITMENT I SAW IN HEALTH
COMMITTEE LAST WEEK WAS AT THAT
MEETING WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE WE
HEARD IT IN JUDICIARY.
MUCH SUPPORT WAS PROVISIONAL
PENDING THE HEARING IN JUDICIARY
SO PERHAPS IT WAS A
MISUNDERSTANDING I APPRECIATE
YOUR CLARIFICATION.
OF YOUR COMMITMENT TO THESE
AMENDMENTS.
AS EXCERPTED TODAY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MADAM THANK
YOU SENATOR MONNING.
ANY FURTHER DEBATER DISCUSSION.
YES SENATOR MONNING.
UNCHARTED SOMEBODY ELSE.
NOR DO YOU HAVE THE FEUD.
IF YOU GIVE ME SOME INDICATION
JUST LET ME KNOW HARD.
PART SENATOR MONNING FALL BY
SENATOR STERN IF WE COULD.
EXCUSE ME SENATOR MORE LIKE IF
WE COULD BE BRIEF.
SO WE CAN MOVE ON WELCOME BACK
MADAM CHAIR THAT I'M SO PLEASED
TO BE HERE.
ARE THESE PROCEED.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER SANTIAGO HOW CAN
I HELP YOU WITH THESE AMENDMENTS --
ON THE IRST WHAT LOOK I THINK
IT SHOULD BE A STATE WIDE POLICY
NUMBER ONE AND IN FACT IS
COMMITTEE PASSED A BILL A TO
THIS SAID THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE
AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WOULD
SAY SAN FRANCISCO AND LA COUNTY
BUT I WOULD JUST ARGUE IT'S
BETTER.
BETTER STATE WHY I DO UNDERSTAND
THE CHAIR'S PREROGATIVE TO LIMIT
IT TO A A A PILOT PROGRAM --
A FIVE YEAR WITH THE REPORT BACK
TO TO THE LEGISLATURE ON IT
WHERE I THINK THE REAL CHALLENGE
BECOMES IS UNDERSTANDING --
ONE DAY AND THIS IS WHAT WE'VE
BEEN CHALLENGE AS WELL.
RESPECTING SOMEBODY CIVIL RIGHTS.
AND I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THAT
BUT AT WHAT POINT IN TIME DOES
IT BECOME INHUMANE NOT TO GIVE
SOMEBODY MEDICAL NECESSITY AND
THAT'S REALLY BEEN THE CHALLENGE.
BUT THOSE WHOLE ARGUMENT I
UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION'S
ARGUMENTS REGARDING --
DE STEPPING BACK THE LATTER MEN
ACT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T FALL
BACK TO WHERE WE WERE.
OTHER LONGTIME AGO INSENSITIVE
THAT.
WE'RE GOING TO NEED HELP
[inaudible]
IT'S TRIGONOMETRIC HUMANE TO
GIVE SOMEBODY SERVICES --
UNNATURALLY AT FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE.
SO MADAM CHAIR IS IT POSSIBLE TO
ADD ORANGE COUNTY TO THE PILOT
PROGRAM.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME I KNOW
THAT THEIR OTHER COUNTIES THAT
WOULD BE INTERESTED --
I DON'T HAVE ANY OBJECTION PER
SE -- BUT OF
THERE HAS TO BE SOME.
RECOGNITION BY THAT COUNTY OF
THE ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES WHICH IS
WHY -- I'M
SURE EVERY COUNTY WOULD LOVE TO
PARTICIPATE BUT NOT EVERY
COUNTIES IN A POSITION TO
PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND DO
WHAT'S NECESSARY TO MEET THE
VERY -- IT
IMPORTANT AND FRAGILE BALANCING
ACT AT THIS BILL CREATES SO.
AT THIS POINT IN TIME --
WE DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY OF
DEFINING THE CITIES THAT WOULD
BE INTERESTED BASED ON SIZE --
BUT IT IT IT AGAIN AT THIS
MOMENT.
WITH THIRTY PLUS OTHER BILLS I
DON'T WANT TO NEGOTIATE FURTHER
AMENDMENTS --
AT THIS POINT IN TIME IF WE WANT
TO GET OUT HERE TONIGHT SO
PERHAPS IT'S CONVERSATION YOU
CAN HAVE GOING FORWARD WHICH IS
FOR YOUR BENEFIT I'M WORKING
WITH FEDERAL JUDGE DAVID CARTER.
WHO HAS TAKEN ON THE HOMELESS
SITUATION AND?
HAS PRETTY MUCH BEEN FORCING ALL
THIRTY FOUR CITIES.
TO COME UP WITH A RATHER
ELABORATE PLAN WERE WORKING
PRETTY FEVERISHLY.
ON THAT BEHIND THE SCENES AND
AND THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
DECEMBER TWENTY ONE IS THE
SHORTEST DAY OF THE YEAR.
BUT ALSO MY BIRTHDAY BUT BUT WE
RECOGNIZE THE MEMORIAL.
OF THOSE THAT DIED ON ORANGE
COUNTY STREETS.
THAT WERE HOMELESS AND THE LAST
TWO YEARS IT'S BEEN.
EIGHT HUNDRED PEOPLE --
SO IT'S A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR ME
AND I I'D LIKE TO SEE WHAT I CAN
DO.
TO A LITTLE MORE PROACTIVE ON
THIS BILL.
AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION INSPITE OF ARE.
REALLY SHORT LIMITED TIME TODAY.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU.
SENATOR STERN THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR [inaudible]
AS I THINK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND I
GUESS ECHO THAT THE COMMENTS ARE
FROM MY COLLEAGUE FROM ORANGE
COUNTY THAT.
THERE HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF
GRAVELY DISABLED.
ALMOST CALIFORNIANS WHO ARE
GONNA BE SERVED BY THE LIMITED
SCOPE OF THIS BILL NOW FAMILIES
HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT.
I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU KNOW IF
THERE'S A TO DO IN WORKING WITH
THE COMMITTEE.
BUT IN VENTURA COUNTY WE HAVE
PEOPLE DYING ON THE STREETS AN
ORANGE COUNTY WE HAVE PEOPLE
DYING ON THE STREETS.
SAN FRANCISCO AND ALL THROUGHOUT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO.
YOU KNOW I I RECOGNIZE A SHORT
HEARING BUT THIS IS A POLICY
COMMITTEE AND I HOPE WE CAN KEEP
THAT DIALOGUE GOING FOR CITIES
OR COUNTIES THAT WANT TO
PARTICIPATE BECAUSE ARE COUNTY
INVENTORS INVENTOR THAT WE
REPRESENT.
IF WE CAN'T GO BACK TO THEM AND
SAY WE ACTUALLY HAVE A SOLUTION
FOR YOU AND FOR RELYING ON A
FIFTY ONE FIFTY PROCESS AND
PEOPLE ARE PUT ON THE STREETS TO
DIE I THINK THAT'S ON OUR HANDS.
SO I I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
AMENDMENT --
SPECIMEN MEANT THREE BUT I DID
WANT TO GET A LITTLE CLARITY
WHILE I HAVE THE THE EXPERTS
HERE FROM LA COUNTY HOW THE HOW
THE REFINED DEFINITION --
MAY ACTUALLY WORK IN PRACTICE
JUST RIGHT NOW WITHIN THE
LIMITED SCOPE OF LA COUNTY BUT
HOW HOW HOW ARE YOU.
HOW WOULD YOU ADMINISTER THIS
NOW GET?
BUT YOU KNOW MY THROUGH THE
CHAIR.
I I BY BELIEVE THAT BELIEVE THE
NARROWING ACTUALLY ALLOWS US TO
DO WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY IN
MY TESTIMONY AND THAT IS.
TO ACTIVATE OUR SYSTEMS AROUND
THOSE WHO ARE AT MOST RISK OF
ACTUALLY DYING DUE TO MEDICAL
ILLNESS.
AND WHETHER IT'S ON THE FRONT
SIDE IN TERMS OF THE INITIAL
ENGAGEMENT OR WHETHER IT'S IN
THE CONSORTIUM PROCESS IN THE
COURTROOM THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL
TO US. TO MORE EFFECTIVELY AND
EFFICIENTLY IDENTIFY THOSE
PEOPLE AND GET THEM TO CARE.
WE WE WE LOOK A CONSERVATORSHIP
VERY SERIOUSLY AS SOMETHING.
THAT IS A LAST RESORT ENGAGEMENT
TOOL BUT WHEN IT'S NEEDED IT
LEVERAGE IT.
AND THE IDEA IS TO ACTUALLY GET
SOMEONE.
ACCESS TO CARE THROUGH SURROGATE
DECISION MAKING AS A FIRST STEP
IN THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
THANK YOU BY ONLY FIVE QUESTION
WAS HOW HOW DOYOU DO YOU KNOW I
I FORGET WHAT THEIR EXACT BUDGET
APPROPRIATION WAS BUT FOR MENTAL
HEALTH FUNDING WRIT LARGE.
YOU CAN GIVE US YOU KNOW I KNEW
I KNEW HIM BY THE LAST LAST
MEETING BUT A BUT IT'S A IT'S
GET MY MIND SOMEONE TO GO SEE
NUMBERS WERE ON THE OTHER
PERCENT CERTAIN.
AND I HAD WRITTEN ON THE LAST --
ONE XP DE LA COUNTY IN THE LA
CITY AREA WHERE I FOR MEMBER
CORRECTLY IT SHOULD BE CLOSER
ABOUT TWO TWO HUNDRED MILLION.
I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT --
IT ALLOCATION FOR MY AREA AT ON
THE NO PLACE LIKE HOME WHICH
WILL BE.
THE ON THE ON THE BALLOT MEASURE
THAT WE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF
MONEY TO BE ABOUT TWO POINT FIVE
MY COLLEAGUE HAVE MENTIONED SOME
DOLLARS THAT WE'RE NOT USE IT AT
AT THE THE STATE LEVEL BUT LUCKY
WE I'M GONNA REVISIT.
THE FACT THAT THE THAT I WAS
MENTION THAT THOSE DOLLARS CAN
BE USED FOR THAT AND ALL TRUSTS
THAT OF THAT POINT TIME BUT WHEN
WE GET MONIES INTO A BUDGET YOU
CAN ALWAYS MOVE THE OTHER MONIES
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION SO WILL
BE MORE AND MORE MONIES IN.
THE IS NOT NO DOUBT IT'S SO I I
JUST WANNA SAY IF IF THERE'S AN
OPPORTUNITY WORK ON THAT I WAS I
I'M I'M INTERESTED IN WHATEVER
IS BLOCKING THE ACCESS THAT
LINKAGE BETWEEN THE SERBS I
THINK YOU MENTION THE SP NINETY
PROCESS THE S. B..
NINETY CLAIM PROCESSES FOR
UNFUNDED MANDATES RIGHT SO
ANYWAY I THAT THE NAY WE CAN
LOOK AT GOING FORWARD AS THE
BILL EVOLVES BUT THANK YOU.
THINK YOU WERE GIVEN THIS A
POLICY COMMITTEE THIS IS THE
POLICY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WE
GOTTA GET IT RIGHT.
IF WE GET IT RIGHT I THINK THEN
WE CAN TRY TO EXPANDED
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
LAW I REPRESENT BOTH VENTURA
COUNTY AND SANTA BARBARA COUNTY
BOTH COUNTIES HAVE A TERRIBLE
PROBLEM WITH HOMELESSNESS I
THINK THE WHOLE STATE DOES RIGHT
NOW.
BECAUSE IF YOU WERE HOMELESS AND-YOU COULD CHOOSE TO LIVE IN
DULUTH MINNESOTA OR CALIFORNIA.
A I THINK YOU'VE GOT A PART OF
THE REASON IS.
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO LIVE HERE
IF THEY COULDN'T SO WE DO HAVE
THIS ENORMOUS PROBLEM WE'VE GOT
TO ADDRESS IT I APPRECIATE THAT
YOU ARE TACKLING THE ISSUE?
WITH I HOPE THAT WE WILL SEE
THIS COME TO FRUITION AND BE
ABLE TO EXPAND IT AND WITH THAT --
TING NO OTHER QUESTIONS IF YOU'D
LIKE TO CLOSE.
YEAH YES MANTRA I'D I'D.
YEAH I'VE GOT THE ANSWER ONE
QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED IN AND
YOU KNOW A JUDGE OR THE COURTS
WOULD DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT
IT IS.
APPROPRIATE FOR THIS PERSON TO
GO THROUGH THE CONSERVATORSHIP
PROCESS BASED.
ON THEIR HEALTH AT AND ALSO ON
WHETHER THE NOT TO GET SERVICES
ARE NOT A THIS THIS BILL DOES
NOT GIVE A BLANKET ABILITY.
PICK UP PEOPLE THERE IS STILL A
JUDICIAL PROCESS IN DEFENSE OF
THE INDIVIDUAL.
ARE AND DETERMINATION WHETHER
THE INTERESTS AND THAT I BELIEVE --
WOULD WHO WOULD INCLUDE WHAT
THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE GETTING
MENTAL HEALTH CARE.
SERVICES OF THE APPROPRIATE
HOUSING AND THE OTHER THING I
WOULD ARGUE IS IT COULD ALSO BE
AN INDIVIDUAL.
WHO IS SEEKING THEN IT COULD BE
A HOME --
WERE PERSON CAN AND UP AYE
THROUGH THIS PROCESS SO I GOT TO
GET THE DATA CHALLENGING ISSUE
CERTAINLY NOT AN EASY --
ONE BUT IT'S MAYOR TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION BECAUSE AT THE END
OF THE DAY IT IS THE MOST HUMANE
THING TO DO THAN TO ALLOW
SOMEBODY TO DIE ON THE STREET
SIMPLY BECAUSE WE COULDN'T GET A
BILL RIGHT.
HA I'M VERY HAPPY THAT YOU'RE
ENGAGED IN THE CONVERSATION WITH
ME I APPRECIATE IT AND LOOK FOR
A CONTINUING CONVERSATION AND
AND HOPEFULLY THAT YOU HELL
ENGAGING CONTINUE TO HELP US
MAKE THIS BILL MUCH STRONGER.

FURTHERING FAIR HOUSING IS
TAKING MEANINGFUL ACTIONS.
IN ADDITION TO COMBATTING
DISCRIMINATION BUT OVERCOME
PATIENT DURING COLUSA
COMMUNITIES FREE FROM THE
BARRIERS THAT RESTRICT ACCESS TO
OPPORTUNITY BASED ON PROTECT
CHARACTERISTICS.
THIS BILL WOULD ALSO REQUIRE
CITIES AND COUNTIES TO INCLUDE
IN THEIR HOUSING ELEMENT SOME
ASSESSMENT OF HER HOUSING WHICH
INCLUDES THE IDENTIFICATION OF
FOR HOUSING ISSUES AND
STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS THOSE
ISSUES.
THIS REQUIREMENT WOULD TAKE
EFFECT IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
GIVING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE

OTHER WITNESSES.
ANYWAY ANY WITNESSES --
IN SUPPORT IN THE AUDIENCE

MANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
AGAIN THIS IS THE BILL AS
AMENDED.
PLEASE STEP FORWARD. TWO MINUTES
PLEASE.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS TIM
EARLY VOTE I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO.
I RESPECTFULLY WE OPPOSE AB
TWENTY SEVEN SIXTY NINE AS A
WRITTEN AND AMENDED --
WHICH WOULD FURTHER LIMIT BUT A
PORTENT PUBLIC SAFETY TOOL.
I MANAGED TO THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO'S ENTERTAINMENT
PERMIT PROGRAM.
THAT OUR PROGRAM GOAL IS TO
PROVIDE A SAFE FAST.
WHEN I LIVE IN THE CITY OF
SACRAMENTO IN THE LEGALIZATION
OF SCANNERS HAS BEEN A KEY
COMPONENT TO HELP US REACH THAT
GOAL?
PUBLIC SAFETY IS OUR MOST
IMPORTANT PRIORITY AND BASICALLY
THE PURPOSE OF OUR PROGRAM THE
IT SCANNING SYSTEM IS USED TO
IDENTIFY FAKE ID'S.
DETECT UNDERAGE PATRONS FLAG
PATRONS FOR INAPPROPRIATE AN
ILLEGAL BEHAVIOR.
AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH
OTHER VENUES.
THIS ALLOWS US TO PROTECT FOLKS
WHO VISIT AND ENJOY OUR
NIGHTLIFE ESTABLISHMENTS.
CITY SACRAMENTO CURRENTLY HAS
ABOUT EIGHTIES IN USE PUT THIRTY
THOSE BEING REQUIRED TO USE
SCANNERS.
MOST OF THOSE ON OUR CENTRAL
CITY WERE WRITTEN WORKING TO
REALLY BUILD.
SURPRISING SAFE ENVIRONMENT
HOSPITALITY COMMUNITY.
SCANNERS ARE CRITICAL PROACTIVE
AND PREVENTATIVE TOOLS THAT HELP
US MAINTAIN A SAFE ENTERTAINMENT
ENVIRONMENT.%
OUR CURRENTSYSTEM ALLOWS VENUES
TO ALMOST IMMEDIATELY SHARE
INFORMATION ABOUT A FLAG PATRON.
HOPEFULLY AVOIDING HAVING THAT
PERSON REPEAT THEIR POOR
BEHAVIOR OR WORSE.
IT'S KEEPS BOTH GAS AND
EMPLOYEES SAY.
SCANNERS ARE A PUBLIC SAFETY
COORDINATION TOOL.
IMPROVING HOW THE CITY OUR
BUSINESS DISTRICTS BUT OUR
ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS
WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE THAT
SAY FESTIVE AND LOOK THE WHOLE
NIGHT LIFE.
BUSINESSES NOW LOOK BEYOND THEIR
OWN DOORS. TO WORK COLLABORATE
WITH EACH OTHER.
SAFETY IS NOW SEEN AS A SHARED
RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT JUST A
SINGULAR CONCERN.
IF AB TWENTY SEVEN SIXTY NINE
PASSES AS CURRENTLY DRAFTED OR
AMENDED THAT SECURITY TOOL WILL
BE SEVERELY LIMITED.
THREATENING PUBLIC SAFETY.

WARN EACH OTHER OF A PRIOR
ALTERCATION OR CRIME.
THIS TO MEAN THESE CUSTOMERS
WERE DENIED ENTRY YOU JUST TOLD
US ALLOWED US THE ABILITY TO
DECIDE AND DEPENDING ON THIS
FLAG.
IT DOES GIVE US A COMFORT LEVELS
DESPITE SOMETIMES HAVING A
CONVERSATION WITH THE CUSTOMER
IF THEY HAD A PROBLEM IN THE
PAST.
ALL OF MY VENUES ARE UNDER
SECURITY CAMERA SURVEILLANCE AND
PATRONS CANS PRIVACY RULES ARE
POSTED AT MY FRONT DOOR.
AND I NEVER HAD A PATRON TURN
AWAY AND NOT WANT TO ENTER INTO
A PRIVACY CONCERNS.
I FOUND THE CUSTOMER'S TRULY
APPRECIATE BEING IN A SAFE
ENVIRONMENT.

A GODDESS IN EIGHTY EIGHT HE HAS

YEAH YEAH [inaudible]
A SORRY GOOD AFTERNOON AFTERNOON
TURN MEMBERS TEN POEM FOR THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL.
FINISH COUNCIL REGRETFULLY IS IN
OPPOSITION TO A. B..
SEVEN THIRTY FOUR INCLUDING THIS
BILL AND THE OTHER TWO BILLS
THAT ARE ON YOUR AS SIMILAR
BILLS ON YOUR CALENDAR TODAY.
THERE HAVE NOW BEEN.
THIRTY FOUR BUT IT'S JUST THAT
THIRTY FOUR SEPARATE PIECES OF
LEGISLATION.
THAT HAVE BEEN IN A DECENT
TWENTY ELEVEN WHEN AB NINE
HUNDRED AND SB TWO NINETY TWO
WERE ENACTED.
IT'S THAT SEEK TO EITHER.
THE IMPOSE THE EXPLOSIONS REVIEW
TIME LINES LIMITS ON INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF FOR BOTH.
AND THE COUNCIL'S BEEN ON RECORD
IN OPPOSITION TO ALL OF THOSE
BILLS WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR TAKING THE AMENDMENT
THAT.
HE COMMITTED TO AND THE KEY TO
REMOVE THE LIMITS ON INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF THAT'S AN IMPORTANT MEN
AND WE APPRECIATE THAT.
BUT ON OUR OPPOSITION IS LIMITED
TO THE SIGNIFICANT COURT IMPACTS.
THAT THE EXPEDITED A THE ALTAR
CALENDAR PREFERENCE EXTRADITE
JUDICIAL REVIEW HAS.
ON THE COURTS ABILITY TO
FUNCTION AND MORE IMPORTANTLY TO
PROVIDE EQUAL ACCESS TO JUSTICE.
IN ALL OTHER CASES ON THE COURTS
A DOCKET.
COUNCIL TAKES NO VIEWS. ONE
SECRET GENERALLY OF THE MERITS
OF THE PARTICULAR PROJECTS ARE
PLANS THAT WOULD BE COVERED.
IS THESE ARE POLICY ISSUES THAT
ARE OUTSIDE THE COUNCIL'S
PURVIEW.
THE FOCUS OF OUR REMAINING
CONCERNS IS ON THE SUPER IS
ACCELERATED TIMELINE FOR REVIEW.
AND DISPOSITION IN THE TRIAL AND
APPELLATE COURTS.
AS THE ANALYSIS THAT POINTS OUT
SECRET CASES ARE ALREADY
STATUTORILY ENTITLED. TO COUNTER
PREFERENCES AND THEY MUST BE
PRESIDED OVER BY A SPECIALLY
TRAINED JUDGE IN THE BOOK OF THE
COURTS AROUND THE STATE.
THAT BILLS TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY
DAY TIMELINE WHICH FOLLOWS THE
SIMILAR BILLS IN THAT AREA THAT
I MENTIONED.
IS COMPLETELY ARBITRARY IT'S NOT
BASED ON ANY CONSULTATION WITH
THE COURTS ON HOW LONG IT TAKES
TO PROPERLY DISPOSE OF A COMPLEX.
SEQUENT ACTION IT WAS DRIVEN AS
OUR UNDERSTANDING BY EXTERNAL
FACTORS LIKE THE NBA BOND
COUNSEL BUT NOT BASED ON WHAT IT
TAKES FOR THE TRIAL AND
APPELLATE COURTS. TO PROPERLY
HERE AND DISPOSE OF THESE CASES
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY THIS ALTAR
COUNTER PREFERENCE HAS THE
PRACTICAL EFFECT.
THE PUSHING ALL OF THE CASES ON
THE COURT'S DOCKET TO THE BACK
OF THE LINE BUT AT LEAST SLOW
THEM DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY EVEN
CASES THAT THIS LEGISLATURE.
HAS PRIORITIZE JUST A FEW QUICK
EXAMPLES.
A PERSONAL INJURY ACTION
INVOLVING A SEVERELY BRAIN
DAMAGED CHILD.
ELDER ABUSE LITIGATION INVOLVING
TYING AND PATIENTS HAVE
PLAINTIFFS.
A HOMEOWNER BILL OF RIGHTS
ACTION --
PROPERTY CLAIMS BY HOMEOWNERS
WHO'VE LOST THEIR HOMES AS
RESULT OF THE DEVASTATING FIRES
IN SANTA ROSA OR THE MUD SLIDES
IN SANTA BARBARA.
CIVIL ACTIONS INVOLVING HUMAN
TRACK ON AND ON YOU GET THE
POINT.
ALL OF THOSE CASES.
AT LEAST WILL BE SLOWED IN SOME
RESPECTS BUT THE JUDGES THAT ARE
REQUIRED TO PRESIDE OVER THE
CASES ON THIS ALTAR.
EXHILARATED TIMELINE IN EVEN A
ANOTHER POINT THAT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT PROPONENTS OF
THIS BILL IN THE SIMILAR BILLS
YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR.
TALK ABOUT THE CERTAINTY THAT
THEY'RE SEEKING FOR THE SUPER
ACCELERATED JUDICIAL REVIEW
SCHEME BUT WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY
SUGGEST.
THAT CERTAINLY WILL NOT.
RESULT FROM THIS LEGISLATION
BECAUSE LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN
THE WORKERS ARENA AND IN THE
INGLEWOOD CASE YOU'RE ABOUT TO
HEAR LATER.
THERE IS PENDING LITIGATION
THOSE CASES THAN THAT.
THOSE OTHER LAWSUITS PROCEED
UNDER THE NORMAL CIVIL PROCEDURE
TIMELINE SO ONLY THE SECRET
PORTION OF ANY LITIGATION
CHALLENGING THE PROJECT THAT
WOULD BE ENTITLED TO THIS ULTRA.
CALENDAR PREFERENCE THEM YOU MAY
ALSO HEAR FROM THE PROPONENTS
THAT VERY FEW --
CASES ON THE COURT'S DOCKET
WOULD HAVE THE ADVERSE EFFECTS
OF BEING SLOW DOWN BUT THAT'S
VERY LITTLE SALAS TO THOSE
LITIGANTS.
WHO'S LITERALLY LIFE AND
THEREFORE ARE VERY IMPORTANT
ISSUES TO THOSE FAMILY MEMBERS
WOULD WOULD HAVE TO WAIT THANK
YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
IF YOU COULD BE BRIEF OR
PSYCHOLOGY OF THE CIRCLE
CALIFORNIA ALSO DO WANT TO THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR AND THAT THE
SPONSOR.
FOR FOR REMOVING THE INJECTED
LANGUAGE PIECE IN TRYING TO
IMPROVE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL
LANGUAGE IN THERE BUT WE ARE
PHILOSOPHICALLY POSE FOR MANY
REASONS TAMPON MENTIONED.
JUST ENVIRONMENTALLY I'LL
MENTION THAT THAT THAT THAT THIS
PROJECTS HAVE BEEN SELECTED A
SITE -- AND
THEN ONE OF THOSE IS POTENTIALLY
AYE YOU.
YOU KNOW WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
EXPANDING EVEN EIGHT HUNDRED IN
GENERAL BUT ALSO ONE OF THE SITE
IS IS ON THE WATER ON THE BAY I
THERE'S THERE'S POTENTIALLY
SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS BECAUSE OF
THAT THAT COULD RESULT FROM AYE
LIMITING.
AYE HOW MUCH PEOPLE CAN COMMENT
ON DURING THIS EAGLE PROCESS AND
LIMITING HOW MUCH TIME THEY HAVE
DURING THE GEISHA TO PROPERLY
MAKE SURE THAT ALL ISSUES ARE
MITIGATED I AM FOR THOSE REASONS
WE BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN ABOUT TO
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO CAUTION I
REMEMBER GOING TO A BASEBALL.
GAME AT CANDLESTICK PARK RIGHT
ON THE BAY I HOPE YOU DON'T DO
THAT.
THE TEMPERATURE GOES FROM
SEVENTY DEGREES YOU END UP IN
THE MIDDLE OF SOME BRING A PARKA.
TO WEAR NOT A GOOD IDEA SO I'VE
LET'S HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
THE COUNTRY SHE'S IT'S CLOSER.
NEW DATA UPDATE STATES I WAS
JUST A TEENAGER.
I DON'T.
WITH MY FAMILY.
AT ANY RATE --
I APPRECIATE THE YOUR YOUR
STATEMENTS AND I'M NOT TRYING TO
MAKE LIGHT OF IT --
BUT THAT IS TO TALK A BILL THIS
ON THE BAY --
AND BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR
CONCERN SO THERE ARE OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
PART TING IN HEARING NONE LOOKED --
BRING IT BACK TO THEIR DIETS I I
DON'T DISAGREE PHILOSOPHICALLY I
DON'T DISAGREE THAT IT DOES TAKE
AWAY -- THE
SOME COURT TIME FOR OTHER
MATTERS XIN RE PRIORITIZE SYSTEM
BUT THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A BE.
NINE HUNDRED AND MY INSISTENCE --
AND WOOD WHICH I'VE DISCUSSED
WITH ALL THE OTHER SECRET FOLKS
IS THAT IF WE'RE GONNA DO THIS
IF WHEN I HAVE THESE THINGS YOU
HAVE TO COMPLY.
AS AS MUCH AS ABSOLUTELY
POSSIBLE WITH AB NINE HUNDRED
BECAUSE EVERYBODY'S GOT A GOOD
REASON WHY THEY SHOULD BE ABLE
TO EXPEDITE SEQUEL OR OR IGNORE
CERTAIN PARTS A SEQUEL.
AND BUT BASICALLY THE QUESTION
THEN IS WELL THEN MAYBE WE NEED
TO RE LOOK AT SEQUEL BUT THERE
IS AN EXEMPTIONOR CARVE OUT IF
YOU WILL. FOR THE KIND OF
PROJECT THAT YOU ARE BRINGING TO
US TODAY AND SO --
DRIVE RECOGNIZED THAT.
THAT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF AB
NINE HUNDRED IF YOU INDEED ARE
ABLE TO COME HERE AND TO PRESENT
SOMETHING WHICH IS --
EITHER EXIT POINT OR
FUNCTIONALLY THE EQUIVALENT AND
THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE AGREED TO
DO AND I APPRECIATE THAT --
GOING FROM LEAD GOLD TOOK TO
GREEN POINT RATING WHICH I
UNDERSTAND IS VERY MUCH AN
EQUIVALENCY --
BY THAT AGAIN I DON'T LIKE THESE
THINGS BUT WE DO HAVE THE THE WE
DO HAVE AB NINE HUNDRED ON THE
BOOKS.
AND OF A THE THE ONLY QUESTION I
THAT I DID HAVE THAT I WAS A
LITTLE UNCLEAR A BECAUSE HER
VARIOUS AMENDMENTS BEING TAKEN
ALL AROUND THE BLOCK HERE --
THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH --
OF BRINGING IN A BIG YOU KNOW
TAKING UP A COURT ROOM --
EXPEDITING THE PROCESS I SUSPECT
THERE ARE ALL SORTS OF COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT OVERTIME
FOR STAFF AND AND WHAT HAVE YOU
A IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE
PREPARED. TO TO PAY FOR I MEAN I
WOULD THINK IT BUT IN THE
OVERALL SCHEME OF THINGS IT'S A
SMALL COST BUT I DON'T THINK THE
PUBLIC.
WHICH PROVIDES TO THE COURTHOUSE
SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS
THROUGH THE OVERTIME IN THE
EXPEDITING OF THE PROCESSES HAD
SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE.
PREPARED TO COVER I KNOW WHAT
THE IT SAYS UNDER IT TO GO TO
THE COURT OF APPEALS BUT SOME OF
THESE PROCEEDINGS HAPPEN IN THE
SPIRIT CORD BEFORE THEY BECOME --
MATTERS FOR THE COURT OF APPEAL.
CANCERS YES I BELIEVE THAT'S
REFLECTED IN THE BILL IF I
WASN'T SURE PERCENT AND UP I
THINK WE TOOK IT OUT AND EIGHTY
NINE HUNDRED IT IF YOU JUST
RESPOND BRIEFLY TO THAT.
THE UNDER A. B. NINE HUNDRED ONE
THE BECAUSE KIDS REMEMBERED
INITIALLY WAS JUST GOING TO THE
COURT OF APPEAL.
SO THERE'S A HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR FILING FEE THAT WAS
COMPUTED AT THE TIME THAT
EVERYONE SIGNED OFF FUND. FOR
THE AND I BELIEVE IT'S IN YOUR
BILL.
WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE SO
ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT TECHNICALLY IN
AB NINE HUNDRED PROJECT THEY'VE
PLEDGED TO COVER THOSE COURT OF
APPEAL COST THE SAME FILING FEE
THAT IS CHARGED FOR THE AB NINE
HUNDRED PROJECTS.
IT DOES NOT ADDRESS AS YOU
POINTED OUT IN THE ISSUE OF ANY
SPECIAL COSTS WITH RESPECT TO
THE TRIAL COURT'S.
WELL PERHAPS GOING FORWARD WE
COULD WE COULD INCLUDE THAT I
MEAN IT'S A SMALL AMOUNT BUT
IT'S NOT SUCH A SMALL AMOUNT FOR
THE THE TAXPAYER WHO OTHERWISE
IS ABSORBING THAT'S FOR FEWER
HAPPENED AT THAT RATE MADAM
CHAIR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SENATOR MOYLAN THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR --
THIS BILL SHOWS.
THAT AB NINE HUNDRED NEEDS TO BE
REFORMED WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING
WITH SEQUENCES.
I'M A PERSON THAT BELIEVES NO
BETTER NO WORSE AND THERE'RE A
LOT OF BUSINESSES IN THIS STATE
THAT.
I DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO
SPONSOR A BILL TO STREAMLINE
SEQUEL AND I THAT'S WHY I'M
HAVING MY DIFFICULTY I THINK
THIS LEGISLATURE.
YEAH NEEDS TO MAKE SOME
SIGNIFICANT REFORMS THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU
[inaudible]
SENATOR ANDERSON [inaudible]
BUSINESS --
JUSTICE PROJECT IS IT GONNA
INVOLVE ANY EMINENT DOMAIN.
NO WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR ANY
EMINENT DOMAIN POWER.

FROM A DODGER FAN.
ALRIGHT MIGHT.
BE INTO.
WELL A IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE --
WE APPRECIATE.
THE WORK YOU PUT IN AND
UNDERSTAND THAT I DON'T DISAGREE
WITH.
SENATOR MORE LOCK --
BUT THE QUESTION IS.
HOW DO WE MAKE A HOW DO WE HOW
DO WE FIX SOMETHING THAT FOR
THEM IN MOST INSTANCES WORKS
VERY WELL?
HE GROANED AS 96% OF ALL SEEK
WERE. TWO VIDEOS WITHOUT ANY
CHALLENGE SO THAT'S PRETTY DARN
GOOD.
BUT THOSE 4% TO CREATE A PROBLEM
WHEN IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE
SHOULD --
CONSIDER GOING FORWARD BUT RIGHT
NOW YOU'VE GOT THIS BILL BEFORE
US IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE.
THIS WITH A BIG THANK YOU I KNOW
YOU OF TIGHT ON TIME TODAY SO I
THINK IF YOU'RE ENGAGEMENT IN
THE WORK THAT YOU HAVE HELPS --
INTO TO MAKE THE BILL STRONGER
AND WE THINK WE THIS IS A
PROJECT THAT IS FUNCTIONALLY THE
EQUIVALENT OF SUBCOMPACT
CONTEMPLATED UNDER.
EIGHTY NINE HUNDRED AND WE HAVE
ONE MINORS.
MARTIN WHAT ONE SIGNIFICANT
UNIQUE A COMPONENT OF IT THAT
NEED TO BE ADDRESSED A DIFFERENT
WAY AND I THINK WE'VE WE'VE --
ADDRESSED IN A WAY THAT HONORS
THE SPIRIT OF AB NINE HUNDRED SO
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE

MEASURES AND LOCAL AN ON SITE
MITIGATION.
IT WOULD ACCOMPLISH THIS ON
ROUGHLY.
THIRTY EIGHT THAT IS JUST UNDER
THE FLIGHT PATH OF THE FIFTH
BUSIEST AIRPORT IN THE WORLD.
IN ADDITION THIS DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT PROPOSES OPEN GREEN AND
PUBLIC ART SPACE COMMUNITY
FACILITIES INCLUDING A SPORTS
MEDICINE AND PRACTICE FACILITY
SPACE FOR RETAIL AND OVER TEN
THOUSAND CONSTRUCTION
OPERATIONAL SEASONAL AND FULL
TIME PERMANENT JOBS.
STAKEHOLDER MEETINGS COMMUNITY
SESSIONS ALL OF THE
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS IS THAT WE
HAVE COME TO EXPECT ARE AND
WOULD BE IN EFFECT.
AS A RESULT THIS PROJECT HAS ITS
OPPONENTS MAINLY IT'S WOULD BE
NEIGHBOR NEW YORK BASED MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN HAD WAS PITTED
COMMUNITY AGAINST COMMUNITY.
BELIEVING THAT IT IS JUST TO
DENY THIS CITY WHAT IT DESERVES
A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC BOOST
COMMUNITY BENEFITS AND A SECOND
CHANCE.
THE QUESTION IS WHY WHERE I COME
FROM A HIGH TIDE RISES ALL BOATS
IT'S CALLED COLLABORATION.
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN
SENATE E. Q. WITH AMENDMENTS
THAT MAKE IT.
ON PAR WITH OR BETTER THAN
SIMILAR BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN
SIGNED INTO LAW.
I LOOK AT EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY
SEVEN USING HISTORICAL CONTEXT
AND WITH AN EQUITY LANDS.
HISTORICALLY THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF BILLS VERY SIMILAR.
TO EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY SEVEN THEY
WERE NOT EXACT BUT RARELY DO YOU
HAVE BILLS THAT ARE EXACTLY THE
SAME IN ACREAGE OPPOSITION
COMMUNITY MAKEUP OR NEED FOR
ECONOMIC INFUSION.
THOSE BILLS PASSED AND THEY WERE
SIGNED AND THEY HELP THE
COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY ARE
SITUATED. TO NOT TO DENY THIS
BILL WOULD RAISE OTHER QUESTIONS
ABOUT EQUITY PARITY AND
DISENFRANCHISEMENT.
Y. ISN'T OKAY TO DENY INGLEWOOD
WHEN WE HAVE NOT DENIED
SACRAMENTO SAN FRANCISCO CARSON
OR EVEN OUR OWN LEGISLATURE.
IT IS FAIR AND IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT ONLY A DECADE AGO THIS VERY
SAME AREA WAS SO RIFE WITH
CRIMINAL ACTIVITY LIKE SEX
TRAFFICKING THAT THE CITIZENS
POLICE AND COMMUNITY CAME
TOGETHER.
CALLING FOR A CLOSURE OF CERTAIN
HOTELS AND BUSINESSES.
THIS DEVELOPER GETS IT.
THIS ACREAGE HAS BEEN VACANT
MOSTLY.
THE FIVE YEARS AND IT'S NOT LIKE
DEVELOPERS ARE CHOMPING AT THE
BIT TO DEVELOP HERE.
THERE HAS NOT BEEN A VIABLE
ALTERNATIVE FOR THIS LAND JUST
WHITE NOISE UNTIL NOW.
FINALLY ON THIS SAME PLOT OF
LAND IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD
WHAT WILL BE THE PROMISE OF AN
ECONOMIC REVIVAL FOR DECADES TO
COME.
WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS WILLING
TO INVEST HIS FUNDING AND
PHILANTHROPY INTO INGLEWOOD.
THIS BILL IS SUPPORTED BY THE
MAYOR OF INGLEWOOD THE FULL
INGLEWOOD CITY COUNCIL ORGANIZED
LABOR AND MANY COMMUNITY GROUPS.
IT ALSO RECEIVED BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT AND SENATE E. Q..
I HAVE ADVOCATES REPRESENTING
THE CLIPPERS HERE AS WELL AS
TECHNICAL EXPERTS AND COMMUNITY
MEMBERS WHO CAN SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OF THE ISSUE.
I STARTED BY TALKING ABOUT THE
GLORY DAYS OF INGLEWOOD I WANT
TO END BY SHARING WITH YOU.
MADAM CHAIR AND COMMITTEE THAT
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COLLABORATE ON THE PLANTING OF A
ONE POINT TWO BILLION DOLLAR
ECONOMIC SEED IN THE HEART OF A
FORGOTTEN CITY.
BRINGING JOBS HOPES AND THE LA
CLIPPERS TINGLING.
DON'T WE WANT TO KNOW THAT WE
PLAYED SOME ROLE IN WATCHING THE
NEXT GENERATION OF YOUNGSTERS
SKATEBOARD LEARN ABOUT SPORTS
MEDICINE AND FEEL LIKE THEY'RE
CITY AND STATE BELIEVES IN
INVESTING IN THEIR FUTURE.
WITH FACTS I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR A BI.
NINE EIGHTY SEVEN YOU VERY MUCH
MINUTES EACH.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS CHAU LANGER
PRESENTING MURPHY'S FULL AN
AFFILIATE OF THE LOS ANGELES
CLIPPERS.
I HAVE FOUR SIMPLE POINTS TO
MAKE.
THE ONE ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER
IN THE TEAM.
IMPORTANT POINT OUT IT WOULD BE
EASY. TO PROPOSE A DEVELOPMENT
LIKE THIS IN A DIFFERENT AREA.
COMMITTING TO MAKE THIS TYPE OF
AN INVESTMENT IN THE
DISADVANTAGE COMMUNITY WITHOUT
THE INFRASTRUCTURE NECESSARY.
THE TRANSIT NECESSARY TO MAKE IT
EASY.
IS A DIFFICULT AND HARD
COMMITMENT BUT IF PEOPLE DON'T
MAKE COMMITMENTS TO THE STATE
ADVENTURE IS.
THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO RISE
UP AND IMPROVE THEIR LIVES
DOESN'T HAPPEN.
THE TEAM IS COMMITTED TO MAKING
THIS INVESTMENT TO THIS
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
THERE'S NO PUBLIC FINANCING
INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT
[inaudible]
THE PROJECT.
WILL OCCUPY VACANT LAND LAND HAS
BEEN VACANT FOR TWENTY FIVE TO
THIRTY YEARS.
THIS LAND WAS PURCHASED FROM THE
FAA.
AND THAT PURCHASE FROM THE FAA
DOES REQUIRE THAT ANY USES OF
THIS LAND.
BE AIRPORT NOISE [inaudible]
CONSISTENT.
FURTHER THERE WAS THERE ARE.
FEDERAL AVIATION REGULATIONS
THAT FURTHER DEFINE WHAT THAT IS
AND RESIDENTIAL HOUSING IS NOT
ALLOWED IN THIS LAND.
THE LAND A SIT BACON FOR TWENTY
FIVE OR THIRTY YEARS FOR EXACTLY
THAT REASON.
THIS PROPOSAL TAKES ABOUT TWENTY
FIVE TO THIRTY ACRES ON SITE
THAT LAND THAT HAS BEEN.
BREAK IT FOR TWENTY FIVE TO
THIRTY YEARS.
AND TURNS IT INTO PRODUCTIVE
REVENUE PRODUCING JOB PRODUCING
FOR THE COUNTY.
AND FOR THE CITY.
PEOPLE HAVE ASKED WHY CAN'T AB
NINE HUNDRED WORK FOR THE THE
SENSHI TWO PRIMARY THINGS. ONE
IS THAT.
UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED AND IT
REQUIRES A 15% REDUCTION IN
VEHICLE TRIPS. TWO THE FACILITY
WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE
OPERATION THE FACILITY.
AS WE DISCUSS THIS IS A TRANSIT
SAR DISADVANTAGE COMMUNITY.
WHILE WE FULLY INTEND TO MEET
THAT 15% REDUCTION WHAT WE HAD
REQUESTED AND WAS AGREED UPON AT
THE SENATE EQ COMMITTEE IS THAT
WE GET FIVE EXTRA YEARS TO MEET
THAT 15% STANDARD.
THE SECOND REASON AB NINE OTHER
DOESN'T WORK IS TIMING.
WE IF WE HAVE A VERY HARD STOP
OF TWENTY TWENTY FOUR TO BILL
OPEN THE DOORS TO THE ARENA.
THAT SIX YEAR PERIOD BREAKS DOWN
ESSENTIALLY THREE TWO YEAR
PERIODS THE FIRST TWO YEARS
DEALING WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE IR.
AND THE COMMUNITY [inaudible]
INVOLVEMENT.
THE SECOND TWO YEARS INVOLVED IN
SECRET.
LITIGATION AND THE THIRD TWO
YEARS FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THAT
IS A VERY TIGHT TIMEFRAME.
THANK YOU --
AND I'M SURE THEY'LL BE SOME
MORE QUESTIONS NEXT WITNESS. TWO
MINUTES PLEASE THANK YOU
SENATORS GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME'S WIT MANLY I AM HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY OF INGLEWOOD
AS THEIR SPECIAL SECRET COUNSEL.
ASSISTING THEM WITH COMPLIANCE
WITH THE SECRET PROCESS.
I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH SENATE
BILL SEVEN FORTY THREE AND
ASSEMBLY BILL NINE HUNDRED THE
TWO STATUTES OUT THERE THAT
CREATE THIS TWO HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY DAY PERIOD FOR
LITIGATION.
I SERVED ON THE WORKING GROUP
THAT DRAFTED THE RULES OF COURT
IMPLEMENTING AB NINE HUNDRED
WITH THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL AND IT
REPRESENTED THE GOLDEN STATE
WARRIORS AND TRIAL AND APPELLATE
LITIGATION --
ADHERING TO THAT TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY DAY PERIOD --
BUT LIKE TO EMPHASIZE A COUPLE
OF ASPECTS THAT MAKE THIS BILL
UNIQUE AND ACTUALLY MORE
STRINGENT THAN THE TYPICAL
EIGHTY NINE HUNDRED PROJECT.
FIRST OF ALL WE DO COMMIT TO NET
ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
AND THAT WILL BE CERTIFIED BY
THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES
BOARD THEY WILL DETERMINE THE
TARGET FOR GHG EMISSIONS THAT
NEEDS TO BE MATT.
SECOND AND THIS IS REMARKABLE
AND INNOVATIVE AND SOMETHING I
THINK THE ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR
FOR A LONG TIME.
CHICHI EMISSIONS HERE ARE
PRIORITIZED SUCH THAT WE NEED TO
LOOK TO LOCAL MITIGATION
MEASURES FIRST TO REDUCE GHG
EMISSIONS.
AND I THINK THE IT'S A LAUDABLE
BILL FOR MAKING THAT COMMITMENT
MAKE THE MITIGATION LOCAL.
THIRD IF THE NET ZERO IS NOT MET.
THE CITY OF INGLEWOOD HAS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ENSURE THAT THE
MEASURE IS MET BY UP IMPOSING
ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES
ACQUIRING EMISSION REDUCTION
CREDITS OR OTHER.
MEASURES OF THAT SORT TOO SO
THERE IS IN EFFECT BACKSTOP
MITIGATION THAT'S VERY UNUSUAL --
LIKE OTHER ECONOMICALLY
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES THE
CITY HAS LAGGED IN TERMS OF
REGIONAL INVESTMENT IN TRANSIT
AND THIS BILL WILL I BELIEVE
SERVE AS A MAJOR CATALYST FOR
MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
AND FINALLY I'D LIKE TO NOTE
THAT THE TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY DAY
TIMEFRAME TO WRAP UP SEQUEL
LITIGATION IS AMBITIOUS.
BUT FOR THE GOLDEN ONE ARENA.
FOR THE CHASE SERENA AND SAN
FRANCISCO.
THE COURT MET THOSE DEADLINES
AND WHAT IT REQUIRES ULTIMATELY
IS A REAL COMMITMENT BY THE
LAWYERS TO ROLL UP THEIR SLEEVES
AND GET TO WORK.
AND WE'VE SHOWN THAT IT CAN BE
DONE BUT NOBODY STANDING IS A
ROAD IT THE STANDARD REVIEW IS
EXACTLY THE SAME.

THE OPPOSITION TESTIFIES --
THE STATE.
GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIRMAN SENATORS MARIA
HOLWAY OF LATE THE MOROCCANS ON
BEHALF OF THEM MISSED FORUM.
MSG FORUM OPPOSES AB NINE EIGHTY
SEVEN AND HOUSE FOR YOU KNOW
VOTE.
THERE ARE FOUR PRINCIPAL ISSUES
THAT I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE WITH
YOU TODAY.
FIRST THERE ARE TWO ACTIVE
LITIGATIONS ONE BY THE FORUM AND
ONE BY PUBLIC COUNSEL FOR
UPLIFTING WOULD.
CHALLENGING THE CITY'S ABILITY
TO GIVE THE PUBLIC LAND TO THE
CLIPPERS TO BUILD THE SERENA.
THIS BILL WOULD EFFECTIVELY
FRUSTRATE THE JUDICIARY'S
ABILITY TO CRAFT COMPLETE
REMEDIES IN THOSE TWO LAWSUITS.
FAST TRACKING THE SEQUEL
LITIGATION WOULD REQUIRE THE
COURTSTO RESOLVE ANY SECRET
CHALLENGES AND TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY DAYS.
ASIDE FROM THE OVERALL IMPACTS
TO THE COURTS REYES BY JUDICIAL
COUNCIL.
pCONSTRUCTION OF THE ARENA COULD
BE WELL UNDER WAY BEFORE THE
PENDING SUITS ARE COMPLETE.
THIS WOULD LIMIT THE COURT'S
ABILITY. TO FASHION REASONABLE
REMEDIES INCLUDING SETTING ASIDE
THE LAND FOR FORD Y. HOUSING OR
PUBLIC USES.
SECOND AB NINE NINETY SEVEN
DRAMATICALLY DEPARTS FROM EIGHTY
NINE HUNDRED IT IS NOT
FUNCTIONALLY EQUIVALENT MADAM
CHAIR.
AB NINE HUNDRED CARS AN
APPLICATION TO THE GOVERNOR FOR
CERTIFICATION. EIGHTY NINE
EIGHTY SEVEN DOES NOT DO THIS.
THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT FOR
GOVERNMENT CERTIFICATES GOVERNOR
CERTIFICATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
STANDARDS FOR LABOR STANDARDS --
GOONS BILL PROVIDES FOR GOVERNOR
CERTIFICATION Y. NOT INTO WHAT'S.
THIRD.
THE CLIPPERS A FAILED TO
ESTABLISH WHY THE EVEN REQUIRE
SPECIAL LEGISLATION.
WHY CAN'T THEY COMPLY WITH AB
NINE EIGHTIES THE AB?
NINE HUNDRED THE CLIPPERS HAVE
STATE HAVE STARTED THE I. R.
PROCESS AND SAY IT WILL BE
COMPLETED IN SUMMER OF TWENTY
NINETEEN WELL WITHIN AB NINE
HUNDRED TIME FRAMES.
HOWEVER EVEN IF THE CLIPPERS
DON'T THINK THAT THEY CAN
COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW BY
TWENTY TWENTY ONE THAN JUST
EXTEND BABY.
NINE HUNDRED LASTLY WE ARE
CONCERNED THAT IT'S NOT CLEAR
WHAT'S ACTUALLY IN THE BILL
BEFORE YOU.
MULTIPLE SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS
WERE OFFERED THE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COMMITTEE.
THE REVISED BILL IS NOT IN PRINT.
THE COMMITTEE REPORT STATES THAT
EVEN THE PROJECT'S DEFINITION IS
UNCLEAR.
IT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR A BI
NINE EIGHTY SEVEN TO BE HELD IN
COMMITTEE.
RE REFER RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOU KNOW ABOUT.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS UP MY
NAME IS DEREK STEEL I AM AND WHO
RESIDENT ON THE CHILDREN VOTING
WILL SCHOOLS --
ALSO WORKING THE CITY OF
INGLEWOOD.
HIGH AND I AM --
RIBS IN ANY UP WITH SINGLE
COALITION --
JUST A FEW POINTS THE PUBLIC
CONTINUES TO BE EXCLUDED FROM
THE UNDERSTANDING IN ENGAGEMENT --
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT DECISIONS
VERY BEGINNING.
CITY IN THE DEVELOPER HAVE SHUT
THE PUBLIC OUT OF HIM PREVENT IT
OUT COMMUNITIES FOR BASIC
INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT IS
IMPACTS FOR INSTANCE BROWN
VIOLATION --
WHEN ANNOUNCED MISINFORMATION
ABOUT THE USE OF IN THE DOMAIN
OF OUR PROVEN EFFORTS TO AVOID
PUBLIC?
INPUT PROCEDURES IGNORING STATE
LAWS AND ON NOTICE --
FOR PROPERTY DISPOSITION RUSHING
THROUGH THE CITY COUNCIL
MEETINGS IN A MATTER OF MINUTES
SHUTTING DOWN MEETINGS A TARA
RESIDENTS SUSPECTS CONCERN --
AB NINE EIGHTY SEVEN WOULD
EVISCERATE THE LAST REMAINING
POINT OF ACCESS FOR INFORMATION
ENGAGEMENT.
AND THIS IS A PROJECT THAT NEEDS
MORE ENGAGEMENT IN TRANSPARENCY
BUT THE BILL TAKES US FURTHER
AND RON DIRECTION AB NINE EIGHTY
SEVEN WOULD BE THE NAIL IN THE
COFFIN OF MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY
INPUT.
ON A PROJECT THAT WILL HAVE
ENORMOUS IMPACTS --
ECONOMICALLY SPEAKING I HEAR
SUPPRESSION AND I KNOW THE CITY
OF INGLEWOOD IS IN THE SEVEN
SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
SHORTFALL.
BY THEY JUST DIDN'T AUDIT THAT
HAD FOR FINDING ENOUGH TO
ACTUALLY HAVE A FIX MORE THAN
FORTY DINGS.
GUY BEFORE THE FINAL REPORT WAS
FILED IN ACCORDING TO SENATOR
MORE LIKE FINANCIAL SOUND STUDY.
INGLEWOOD WHAT THE IS NUMBER
FOUR SEVENTY ONE OUT OF FORTY
TWO CITIES IN CALIFORNIA.
AND I DID AS LONG TERM AS
MANAGEMENT THE LEADERSHIP IS
LOOKING FOR HELP VERY SOLVE THE
PROBLEM EVEN IF IT MEANS THE
DETRIMENT OF THE CART COMMUNITY
MEMBERS --
AND THE JOBS VERSUS ENVIRONMENT
JUSTICE IS A IS A FALSE CHOICE
BECAUSE HE WOULD DESERVES BOTH --
THE CITY SHOULD BE PRIORITIZING
INVEST IN THE DEVELOPMENT THAT
ACHIEVES ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
HIGH ROAD EMPLOYMENT AND
INCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITIES THINK
WOULD DESERVES ALL OF THIS
TOGETHER NOT A FALSE CHOICE HAVE
BEEN.
INTENTIONALLY SKEWS THE FAVOR OF
THE BILL A BILLION OR
DEVELOPMENT EXPENSIVE ARMADA
JUST ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE --
THE MAYOR HIMSELF TELLS HOW WE
ARE FOUR POINT SEVEN IN
UNEMPLOYMENT RIGHT NOW.
EYES SO THESE JOBS IT IS NOT THE
ONLY THING THAT WE NEED JOBS WE
ACTUALLY PREVAILING WAGE JOB.
RIGHT AND AND THAT IS NOT A PART
OF THIS CONVERSATION.
AND SO --
INCH IN IN --
IN ENDING MY COMMENT THIS ALSO
TAKES AS ALREADY MENTIONED AWAY
THE CRITICAL LEGAL RIGHT FOR THE
COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE INPUT.
YOU KNOW ALL OF THE ENGAGEMENT
THAT WE HAVE BEEN STOPPED.
FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS WE HAD
ACTUALLY TAKE A STEP FORWARD
ENOUGH THE REASON WHY WE FILED
THE LAWSUIT LAST WEEK.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
HONORABLE COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY

RESIDENT FROM THE UPLIFTING WILL
COALITION I STRONGLY OPPOSE.
BILL NINE EIGHTY SEVEN AND I AM
HERE FOR FEAR REIGNS IN
INGLEWOOD THAT THE KEY DISEASE
SHUT US OUT FOR WE NEED FAIR
RENTS IN ORDER.
TO STAY THERE LIVE THERE AND GET
THE BENEFITS FROM THE CLIPPERS
AND THESE PEOPLE ARE BEING
THROWN OUT OF THEIR HOMES THE
RATE IS INCREASING BY THE
THOUSANDS.
THE KIDS WON'T BE THERE TO SEE
THE BENEFITS OF ARENA PERIOD
THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
DOMINIC WILLIAMS I'M A LONGTIME
INGLEWOOD RESIDENT WITH
UPLIFTING WITH COALITION AND I'M
AND JOHN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU.
TEMPO JUDICIAL COUNCIL WERE
OPPOSED FOR THE SAME REASON
STATED ON ITEM [inaudible]
THIRTY FOUR THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS CASH I
AM A BINGO WOULD RESIDENT SINGLE
MOM AND I STRONGLY.
OPPOSE NINE EIGHTY SEVEN DUE TO
THE SIMPLE FACT THAT WE CAN'T
EVEN GET [inaudible]
BUT COMPLY.
A CONVERSATION GOING WITH THE
MAYOR IT IS THERE IS NO
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT WHATSOEVER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY
OTHER WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
BUT LET'S TAKE IT BACK TO THE
DYESS.
SO -- IF
THOSE OTHER --
EAT YOU CAN STAY WE NEED ONE I
THINK THERE WOULD WHO WHO SAY
THE PERSON WHO TESTIFIED.
LET'S HAVE HIM COME UP
[inaudible]
SO.
AB NINE HUNDRED IS AN EXCEPTION
TO SEQUEL.
WHAT I HEAR HEAR WHAT I
UNDERSTAND THIS IS IS YOU ARE
SEEKING AN EXCEPTION TO THE
EXCEPTION?
THE QUESTION IS WHY CAN YOU NOT
COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF
AB.
NINE HUNDRED SENATOR MEMBERS
SHOWING REPRESENT THE CLIPPERS
PRIMARILY IT'S THAT AB NINE
HUNDRED DOES REQUIRE THE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE 15% VEHICLE
TOOK PRODUCTION WITHIN THE FIRST
YEAR OF OPERATION.
BECAUSE WE ARE WHICH TURNS A
STARVE COMMUNITY WE KNOW THAT.
THAT STANDARD COULD NOT BE MET
WITH IN THE FIRST YEAR.
AND AS A RESULT WE INVEST FOR A
LONGER PERIOD OF TIME TO COMPLY
WITH THAT STANDARD.
PART BUT THAT ISN'T THE ONLY
EXEMPTION OR THE ONLY BASIS UPON
WHICH YOU ARE.
NOT FOLLOWING ALONG WITH THE AB
NINE HUNDRED REQUIREMENT
BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
FOR AND AND I UNDERSTAND THE
NEED AND THE DESIRE TO DEVELOP
AN ECONOMIC A BUOYANCY TO THE
COMMUNITY AND I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY IS.
OPPOSED TO THAT BUT WE HAVE A
PROCESS.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE
IT AND WE GET EXEMPTIONS EVERY
NOW AND THEN IN.
A THINK IT YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE
SAFETY NINE HUNDRED PROCESS SO
WE END UP WITH SOME OF THESE --
STADIUMS AND AND WHAT HAVE YOU
THAT.
ARGUABLY DON'T COMPLY FIVE BUT
THEY DO COMPLY WITH AB NINE
HUNDRED AND SO.
IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS MY
CONCERN IS THAT IF WE'RE GOING
TO ALLOW THESE EXEMPTIONS
THEY'VE GOTTA BE WITHIN THE THE
TERMS OF THE EXEMPTIONS SO.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE 15% REDUCTION
OF BECAUSE YOU'RE TRANSIT
STARVED AREA I UNDERSTAND THAT --
WHAT ABOUT A COMPARABLE BUT IS
THIS A COMPARABLE PROJECT I MEAN
15%? FIFTEEN AB NINE HUNDRED
SAYS 15% MORE --
AND THEN A A COMPARABLE PROJECTS
SO IT THERE'S A LITTLE LEAVE IT
WILL LEEWAY THERE BUT YOU'RE NOT
HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION YOU'VE
CREATED YOUR OWN SOURCE
STRUCTURE COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHY
YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO COMPLY WITH
THAT --
OTHER OTHER RESTRICTIONS OR
STRUCTURE OF AB.
NINE HUNDRED SO MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OTHER THAN THE 15%
VEHICLE TRIPS STANDARD.
THERE'S ONLY ONE MATERIAL
DIFFERENCE TO WHAT.
IT IS PROPOSED MAYBE NINE NINE
NINE EIGHTY SEVEN VERSES AB NINE
HUNDRED PROCESS AND THAT IS THE
GOVERNOR CERTIFICATION.
THERE ARE OTHER STANDARDS WHICH
WE WOULD CLEARLY I IN DOLLAR
INVESTMENT THE PREVAILING WAGE
ALL OF THOSE STANDARDS WE WILL
MEET HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH --
SO WHY DID YOU GO WITH THE
INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING A. B. NINE
HUNDRED AND HAVING THE GOVERNOR
CERTIFICATION YOU GO WENT WITH
THE AIRPORT.
SO MADAM CHAIR AND I DON'T KNOW
TO FOR THE AUTHOR --
IT WAS STRICTLY OUT OF A CONCERN
FOR TIME BUT IF IT WAS WILL THIS
COMMITTEE THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT
TO HAVE THE GOVERNOR
CERTIFICATION INVOLVED
[inaudible]
I THINK.
WE THE AUTHORS WILLING WOULD BE
WILLING TO HAVE THAT CONDITIONS
PLACED IN THE BILL.
ASIDE FROM THAT SENATOR.
UNDER THE EIGHTY NINE HUNDRED
PROCESS THE GOVERNOR DOES NEED
TO CERTIFY A PROJECT AS A
LEADERSHIP PROJECT BUT AS TO THE
GHG CALCULATIONS AB.
NINE HUNDRED CALLS UPON THE
GOVERNOR TO CONSULT WITH THE
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD
AND IN FACT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THE WARRIORS PROJECT THEIR
RESOURCES BOARD WAS DEEPLY
INVOLVED IN THAT.
SO THAT'S GREAT SO WHY THEN
KNOCKED AGAIN.
YOU KNOW WE WANNA I THINK GIVEN
THE IT AND WHAT YOU SAW WITH THE
THE OF THE MEASURE BY SIMPLY
MEMBER BONTA WITH ONE OF BE ABLE.
TO GET OUT.
TO TO USE THAT EXEMPTION --
TO GET TO GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT
TO GO.
MADAM CHAIR IT --
THE HEAD OF THE AUTHOR WOULD BE
WILLING TO ACCEPT INSERTING THE
GOVERNOR CERT IN THIS TO MAKE IT
MATERIALLY ON THE SAME IS AB.
NINE HUNDRED I'M I'M WRITING I
WANT TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE
CONCERNS IT'S A RAISING MUCH
APPRECIATED I AGAIN.
WITH LUCK I WOULD LIKE TO
SUPPORT THIS EVEN THOUGH I DON'T
LIKE ANY OF THESE.
BUT AB NINE HUNDRED ALLOWS IT
AND THAT'S OUR JOB HERE --
THERE ISN'T ONE OTHER QUESTION I
HAVE AND I APPRECIATE THAT YOU
WOULD ACCEPT THAT IS AN AUTHORS
AMENDMENT.
AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE THE
WAY TO CALCULATE.
YOU KNOW YOU AGAIN YOU CAN'T
MEET A STANDARD THAT THE THE
DINNER YOU CAN'T.
YOU CAN'T CREATE A HOLE IN THE
DONUT WHICH OKAY.
SO -- YOU
WANT FIVE OF THEM.
THAT THE TIMING HERE.
UP AGAIN NOTE THAT THE WHY NOT
JUST SIMPLY SAY IT BUT IF WE
NEED MORE TIME BAG THE TIME
ELEMENT.
HAS ME A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE
YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING.
TO PUT OUT THERE.
THE A BUT YOU SAY BUT WE HAVE TO
DO THIS QUICKLY.
SO I'M I'M.
AGAIN I'M IT IT IT'S UNCLEAR TO
ME WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS AND WHY
YOU IN THIS IN TERMS OF THE
TIMING ITSELF MADAM CHAIR YES.
SO.
IS WE STARTED BACK WE HAVE TO
BUILD EMONSTRATE THAT WE KNOW
FOR CERTAIN THAT THAT THE DOORS
FOR THIS ARENA WILL BE OPEN IN.
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR OUR LEASE IN
STAPLES CENTER IS UP IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR THAT'S WHY WE MUST
HAVE CERTAINTY THAT THOSE STORES
WILL BE OPEN IF YOU BACK OUT
FROM.
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WITH
BUSINESSES SIX YEAR PERIOD.
THE FIRST TWO YEARS WHICH WE ARE
ENGAGED IN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE IT
DOES THAT WE'RE IN THAT SECURE
PIROTTA READY.
IT IS COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
WE'RE HOLD WE'VE ALREADY HELD.
THIRTY SCOPING SESSIONS TOWN
HALL MEETINGS FOR COMMUNITY
INVOLVEMENT WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE THAT FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR. TO
GET INPUT IN TERMS OF DESIGN
COMMITTEE BENEFITS THAT ARE
NEEDED.
GET TO THE POINT WHERE THE I. R.
IS READY TO BE CERTIFIED.
AT THAT POINT WE'VE USED UP THE
FIRST TWO YEARS OF THE PROCESS.
THE SECOND TWO YEARS WOULD BE
THE SECRET STREAMLINING
UNDERSTANDING THAT WHILE IT'S
TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY DAYS THERE
ARE VARIOUS THINGS THAT COULD
HAPPEN.
IN THAT PROCESS THAT COULD
EXTEND OUT WITHIN THE TWO YEARS.
THE FINAL TWO YEARS OF THAT SIX
YEARS AS CONSTRUCTION AND THAT
IS BARE BONES WE BARELY MEET
THAT IF THERE'S ANY.
PICKUP IN THAT SECURE PLAN THAT
I JUST TALKED ABOUT.
THOSE DOORS DON'T OPEN AND
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HAVE THE
CERTAIN IT THAT'S WHY THE TIMING
OF A BE DONE HUNDRED DOESN'T
WORK HOWEVER.
IF WE'RE WILLING TO MEET THE
MATERIAL STANDARDS AND THE
SPIRIT OF AB NINE HUNDRED BY
ADDING THE GOVERNOR
CERTIFICATION IN TO THE BILL
WHICH THEN AT THAT POINT.
OTHER THAN THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
FIFTEEN THE TIME WE NEED TO MEET
THE 15%.
VEHICLE TRIPS IT'S ESSENTIALLY.
I APPRECIATE THAT LAST QUESTION
THERE'S CONCERN PEOPLE HERE THEY
FILED A LAWSUIT BECAUSE HE SAID
THAT THE THAT THE PUBLIC WASN'T --
THINK GIVEN FULL OPPORTUNITY TO
BE ENGAGED --
IF I'D LIKE A RESPONSE TO THAT.
THE LAWSUIT IS BETWEEN THE CITY
OF INGLEWOOD AND MADISON SQUARE
GARDEN.
MADAM CHAIRMAN I CAN I I DON'T
WANT TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY ABOUT
LITIGATION BUT I THINK WHAT I
CAN SAY IS THAT HAS BEEN
REPORTED IN THE PRESS IS THAT.
THAT THERE IS A THE DIFFERENCE
OF OPINION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT
THE POLICE [inaudible]
THE MADISON SQUARE GARDEN CITY
OPPONENT OF THIS LEGISLATION WAS --
PARTICIPATED IN FOR A THREE YEAR
PERIOD ON THIS LAND.
WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF TURNING
THIS LAND INTO PARKING SPACE.
THAT THAT WHAT THAT LEASE WAS
NOT ACTED UPON THE CITY TOOK ITS
ACTION I DON'T WANT TO COMMENT.
PACIFIC PLATES NOT OUR ROLE TO
COME AND AND WHO'S RIGHT AND
WHO'S WRONG HERE OTHER THAN TO
SAY THAT THAT LITIGATION IS
TOTALLY OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF
OF BOTH THE PROJECT AND THE
PLANETS A DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE FOR CURRENT.
INGLEWOOD RESIDENTS SO I WANT TO
ASK THE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING
THE LAWSUIT WHETHER WHAT YOUR
CHARACTERIZATION IS THAT THIS IS
IT'S OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS.
PROJECT OR EACH IT.
BUT LITIGATION AND THEY MOVE
FORWARD ON BUILDING THEIR ARENA.
WHILE THE OTHER LITIGATION IS
PROCEEDING IN THE USUAL SLOW
PACE THROUGH THE COURTS.
AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN THAT
LITIGATION.
THE COURT IS GOING AND NOT BE IN
A POSITION POTENTIALLY TO GIVE
THE LAND BACK WHEN THERE'S AN
ARENA SITTING ON IT SO YOU LIMIT
WHAT THE COURT WHAT IS THE
NATURE OF THIS LITIGATION.
UP THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT
LITIGATIONS ARTHRITIS FROM
BROUGH RIGHT THAT'S ALL IT'S A
HOWDY IGNORE US IN A PROMISES ON
SITE KNOCKED OUT I'M CLOSER HOLD
ON WE'RE GOING TO GO HIT SENATE --
THE LITIGATION WITH MADISON
SQUARE GARDEN REVOLVES ON THE
FACT THAT THERE ARE PROPERTIES
WITHIN THIS AREA THAT IS WHERE
THE ARENA IS PROPOSED TO BE THAT
WERE THE SUBJECT OF PARKING --
BUT AT LEASE AGREEMENT WITH --
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN --
AND THERE'S A DISPUTE AS TO THE
NATURE THE TERMINATION THAT
LEASE AGREEMENT AND WHETHER IT
WAS A BREACH OF CONTRACT AND
WHETHER THERE WAS FRAUD --
THERE'S WHITNEY OF HOMELESSNESS
SHARON OKAY BY AND THERE WAS AN
OPTION TO PURCHASE SO BASICALLY
THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE IS THE
RIGHT TO CONTROL THAT LAND AND
WHETHER THE ALLEN IS REALLY
SHOULD BE IN ASSN WORKS WERE
GUARDS CONTROLLED THE MOMENT.
FOR THE CITIES WHERE THE CITY
CAN ACTUALLY ALLOW ENTERING INTO
YOUR POSITION IS IF THE CITY IS
ALLOWED TO GO FOR WITH THIS
PROJECT.
THAT THE PROJECT IS LIKELY TO BE
COMPLETED BEFORE THE LITIGATION
IS RESOLVED IT EVEN IF IT BEEN A
FAST TRACK ESPECIALLY YES OKAY.
AND YOU SIR OF THE GATE YOU HAVE
A LAWSUIT IN YOUR LAWSUIT IS
BASED UPON WHAT A THAT THE LAND
ITSELF OF THE CITY AT SUCH AS
PART OF LAND AND I USE THE
SURPLUS LAND ACTS.
I IN OTHER STATE LAWS FIRST
BEFORE IT EVEN ENGAGED IN THIS
PROCESS.
AND EVEN IN THIS SETTING THAT
WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION AND
IT'S IT'S NOT EVEN A BLIP ON THE
RADAR THEY'RE NOT EVEN
CONSIDERING THE THE THINGS THAT
COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE ACTUALLY --
THINKING OF OF LIVING WOULD YOU
KNOW WERE REALLY THINK ABOUT
HOUSING THE FOR THAT SERENA WE
DON'T NEED TO SERENA WE REALLY
NEAT WHEN HOUSING CRISIS.
SO WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT
WAYS TO DO THAT I KNOW THEY SAID.
HAVE A SAID YOU CAN BUILD
HOUSING THAT IS NOT WHAT IT SAYS
TO PUT.
THE THEM THE MEDICATIONS FOR
SOUND SOLUTION THERE'S AT FIVE
HUNDRED FEET ACROSS THE STREET
IN THE IN THE THE COMPLEX FOR AT
THE STADIUM THEY'RE BUILDING.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED HOMES IN THE
FLIGHT PATH.
SO HOW IS THAT EVEN YOU KNOW OF
AN ARGUMENT AGAINST WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WINNING HOMES
NOTARIES.
THANK YOU ALL RIGHT ITEM CHAIR
I'D ALSO LIKE THE CITY OF
INGLEWOOD TO RESPOND SINCE
THEY'RE ALSO PART OF PLEASE GO
AHEAD AND THEN I'M GOING TO UGH
HAND THE QUESTION OVER SENATOR
HERTZBERG.
MADAM CHAIR AND YES IT WAS A
COMMITTEE.
I LET ME JUST SAY I'M IN A VERY
UNIQUE POSITION.
WITHIN THIS ROOM BECAUSE I
ACTUALLY NEGOTIATED.
THE PARKING LEASE AGREEMENT.
THAT COUNSEL REFERENCE AND ALSO
NEGOTIATED THE PARKING
TERMINATION AGREEMENT.
AND WE FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE
WITH OUR POSITION BECAUSE
EVERYTHING THAT'S BEING A LATE
THOUGHTS AS FAR AS WE'RE
CONCERNED AND THAT WILL PLAY OUT
IN THE COURT SYSTEM WE ARE.
VIGOROUSLY DEFENDING THE LAWSUIT
AND WE ARE AND AS FAR AS THE
ALLEGATIONS THAT ARE MADE
[inaudible]
YOU KNOW.
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN WHEN THEY
DECIDED TO TERMINATE THE LEASE
AGREEMENT WAS REPRESENTED BY
COUNSEL.
AND WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT THE
DOCUMENT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.
AND THEREFORE WE HAVE EVERY
RIGHT TO MOVE FOR WITH THE
DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY.
AS FAR AS THE OTHER LITIGATION
IS CONCERNED WE ALSO FEEL VERY
STRONGLY THAT THERE WITHOUT
MERIT AND WE ARE DEFENDING THESE
LAWSUITS VIGOROUSLY.
WELL THAT'S WHAT A GOOD LAWSUIT
IS MADE OUT OF METAL RIGHT.
INTERCESSORY LAWSUITS.
I AM THE THIRD LAWSUIT THERE'S
ONE TWO THREE LAWSUITS MARRIED
ONE SENTENCE ON OUR LAWSUIT.
VERY BRIEFLY VERY VERY BRIEFLY
OUR LAWSUIT IS A SEQUEL A
CHALLENGE WE ARE ALLEGING THAT
THE CITY HAS COMMITTED.
NOT TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES FOR
THE SITE THIS IS CALLED A SAVE
TARA VIOLATION WHERE THEY HAVE
COMMITTED WITHOUT DOING ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW THAT'S THE
BASIS OF OUR LAWSUIT.
WE FILED IT THERE'S THREE OF
THEM BREAK THANK YOU.
SENATOR HERTZBERG THERE'S FULL
EMPLOYMENT ACT AROUND HERE
OUTSIDE YEAH --
THE MEAT TASTES UP THAN THE
AUTHOR IN THIS MATTER IS DOING A
GREAT JOB I SAY THAT BECAUSE THE
AUTHOR OF SENATOR BACK THERE
SENATOR BRADFORD.
HAS BEEN DEEPLY INVOLVED BUT I
GOTTA SAY THAT --
THE DECISION FEW TO CARRY THIS
MEASURE ARE GETTING A LOT OF
RESPECT FOR HOW YOU'RE HANDLING
THIS REALLY VERY VERY GOOD.
COUPLES ONE CAUGHT COUPLE
COMMENTS AND ONE OBSERVATION ONE
IS I'M HAPPY THAT YOU DAY
UNDERSTANDS MY COMMITMENTS LIKE
THE BUILDING TRADES ON WITH
RESPECT TO A PREVAILING WAGE
WHICH IS GOOD.
BUT I'M CONCERNED IS THAT AS THE
CHAIR TALKED ABOUT TIMING FOR
THE GOVERNOR'S PROCESS.
LOOK AT THE END OF THE DAY WE
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS TO SERVE
THE PUBLIC INTEREST TO MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE TAKEN
TAKING CARE OF BUT NOT KILL THE
THING BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IN
LITIGATION AS WE ALL KNOW WITH
ONE ONE SIDE OF THE DEALER.
THE OTHER SIDE IN THAT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL YOU --
LAW HAS BEEN USED SO MUCH.
TO ACHIEVE DELIVERABLES AND THE
SOMETIMES LIBERAL.
SEE YOUR WORK COMMUNITY THAT IS
AS YOU CORRECTLY AND ELOQUENTLY
SAID.
ISN'T TREMENDOUS NEED.
ALL OF THESE OTHER FANCY
SHARANSKY DEALS LEARN ENOUGH
ABOUT SUPPORTS OUR INFO STILL
LOOK AT ME DONE.
YOU KNOW IT WAS ALMOST AS TALL
AS A SHARE THE FEDS REDUCES YOUR
HAIR THEY THEY DON'T BREAK
COMMUNITY SEE UNCLE IS A
CHALLENGING COMMUNITY THE FACT
THAT THAT THE BETWEEN THE
FOOTBALL AND ALL THIS OTHER
STUFF AND THE BIG MONEY THAT
THAT.
I IS OFTEN THOSE GUYS PUT INTO
THE FORUM IS DRAMATICALLY GONNA
HELP A INGLEWOOD IN THE
SURROUNDING AREA PROPERTY VALUES
COMMUNITIES JOBS ALL OF THAT
STUFF.
BUT IT'S HARDER IT IS HARDER IN
THE ONLY OWNER SAY MEN CHAIRS IF
YOU'RE GONNA ADD IN THIS
GOVERNOR REVIEW I JUST WANT TO
PUT A TIME LINE ON IT. TO MAKE
SURE THAT IT'S NOT A POISON PILL
BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IN THESE
KINDS OF MATTERS IS THAT THEY DO
IS THEY ALL SOUND GOOD ON THE
SURFACE KIND OF LIKE RIGS TO
REEFS Y. AS I SAID THE SAY THAT.
AND THEY JUST CREATES HOPE MUCH
PROCESS THAT TEY MAY THEY
BASICALLY KILLED THE DEAL AND SO
THE IDEA HERE IS THAT.
YOU'VE GOT IT A TEAM THAT'S
GOING TO MAKE A DECISION.
YOU RESOURCE ARE NOT THE
QUESTION.
IF THE IF IF WE CREATE A PROCESS
IS SO SLOW THEY'RE GONNA MOVE.
OKAY AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD MOVE
WHERE THE L. A.'S ARE AND AND
BEAT THOSE GUYS AND YOU KNOW
THAT'S A WRONG TEMA MIXING MY
TEAMS UP WHATEVER.
YOU KNOW MY POINT THAT THAT --
ABUSE WORRIED ABOUT THE TIMING
IT'S DIG STATE YOU PUT THAT INI
WOULD JUST SUGGEST THAT HE CAN'T
EAT IF YOU WANT THE GOVERNOR'S
REVIEW ALL OF I HAVE THE
GOVERNOR'S VIEW.
BUT DO NOT DELAY THE PROCESS
WITH MORE PROCESS.
IF THE AND ADDING THE GOVERNOR'S
REVIEW I'M ASSUMING INTO IT IS
IT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN
EXPEDITED.
SO THAT IS NOT THE THAT WOULD
NOT BE THE PROBLEM AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR TAKING THAT
AMENDMENT IT IS.
SENATOR BRADFORD HERE IN THIS
THIS YOUR FIRST YEAR IN YOUR
FIRST FEW MONTHS.
I'M SURE HE'S REAL HAPPY ANYWAY
I I AGREE THIS IS A VERY TRICKY
ISSUE.
THERE IS SOME.
OTHER A COUPLE OTHER THINGS
AGAIN TO TRY TO ALIGN THIS AS
BEST AS POSSIBLE --
THE COSTS WHICH WE JUST ASKED --
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA TAKE THE
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH --
LITIGATION BOTH IN THE SPIRIT
CORD OR COURT OF APPEAL.
AGAIN WITH A PROJECT THIS BIG I
ASSUME THAT THE WHOEVER IS
MOVING THE PROJECT WOULD BE
PREPARED TO ACCEPT THAT
AMENDMENT AS WELL TO TO TO COVER
THAT SO THAT WERE ON THE SAME.
SAME WAVELENGTH I I I I DON'T
THINK WE SHOULD BE GIVING ANY
MORE BENEFITS TO ONE THEN THE
OTHER IF YOU CAN COMPLY WITH THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS.
OF THE A BEING.
NINE HUNDRED THAT FRAMEWORK AND
OF THAT [inaudible]
AS AS WE JUST HEARD.
OP BUT MY TO BUT MY CONCERN AND
I AND I JUST DON'T KNOW QUITE
HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS.
IS THAT THERE'S CURRENTLY --
THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE
LAWSUITS PENDING.
AND THERE SHOULDN'T BE PREJUDICE
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER SIDE LIKE
TO ASK COUNSEL HOW YOU WOULD
DRESS.
THAT ISSUE THAT IF THERE ARE
COURT CASES OR PERHAPS YOU CAN
FROM -- THAT
AND YOUR PERSPECTIVE YOU'RE
FILING A SEQUEL ACTION.
SO I ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT BY
US EXPEDITING WITHOUT I MEAN
WE'RE NOT MAKING A DETERMINATION
AS TO WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD
PROJECT OR A BAD PROJECT WHICH
IS MAKING A DETERMINATION.
THAT IT CAN PROCEED UNDER AB.
NINE HUNDRED SO HOW WOULD THAT
IMPACT A LAWSUIT TO YOUR FACE
APPARENTLY FILING --
AB.
ON OF THE SEQUEL VIOLATION HA HA
OUR LAWSUIT IS SEEKING
COMPLIANCE CITY QUIRK IN THE
PROPER WAY IN OTHER WORDS THEY
DID NOT DO SECRET FROM THE START
WHEN THEY MADE A DECISION.
ANDOUR LAWSUIT WAS FILED BACK
IN JUNE OF TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN IT WAS A LONG TIME
IT'S PENDING IN THE COURTS AS
BEING HER DECEMBER. TWO THOUSAND
AND EIGHTEEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF
THIS BILL IS PASSED IT IS WHEN
THERE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT DONE.
IT WILL NOT BE REVIEW OF ALL IN
THE SAME WAY ALL OTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORTS ARE
REVIEWABLE IN CALIFORNIA TO
ENSURE THAT THE COMMUNITIES ARE
PROTECTED THAT ALL THE IMPACTS
ARE IDENTIFIED.
IN MITIGATED AND THEREFORE.
WHEN THAT REPORT AND I --
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS DONE IT
COULD BE COMPLETELY INADEQUATE
YET THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO WILL BE
ABLE TO REVIEW IT ARE THE CITY
WHO IS.
FAVORING THIS PROJECT IN THE
PROPONENT WHO'S PUTTING IT
FORWARD SO IT WILL GUT THE
CALIFORNIAN MINOR ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT AND THAT'S WHY WE
HAS NOT JUST AMENDMENT OF THIS
BILL BUT COMPLETE REJECTION OF
IT TODAY.
SO I I WANT TO RESPOND THEIR TWO
ISSUES.
YES GO AHEAD.
BRIEFLY IF YOU COULD OF SO WILL
HAVE A COME IN ON THE SECRET BUT
THAT'S ALSO A RISK THAT THE
DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO TAKE.
I'M AS IT IS WITH HAVING A FULL
AND COMPREHENSIVETHE IR.
IF THERE IS A CHALLENGE OF
THAT'S UP HELD THAT'S A RISK
THAT THE DEVELOPER IS WILLING TO
TAKE AS TO SOME OF THE SPECIFIC
POINTS YEAH I WANT I WANT TO
CLARIFY.
THAT TOM THE BILL WOULD NOT
AFFECT.
THE COURT'S ABILITY TO REVIEW
THE SUBSTANTIVE ASPECTS OF
SEQUEL IT'S ONLY AFFECTS THE
TIMING OF HOW THE COURT PROCEEDS
THROUGH THAT REVIEW.
WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT.
THE THE FACT THAT THIS WOULD BE
EXPEDITED IN LITIGATION I I'M
AFRAID THAT I DON'T AGREE THAT
IT WILL BE TREATED THE THE SAME.
AS OTHERS BECAUSE IT PREJUDICES
THE COMMUNITY AND EVEN BEING
ABLE TO BRING THAT LAWSUIT INTO
COURT ON THE EXPEDITED REVIEW IT
INCREASES THE COST.
IT MAKES IT MUCH HARDER FOR
MEMBERS IN INGLEWOOD TO BRING IT
INTO THE COURTS AND ACT AS THEY
WOULD IN OTHER LAWSUIT IT'S IT
TILTS THE PLAYING FIELD AGAINST
THEM.
AND DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT AND
THEN CALLED IF I COULD I THINK
THE COMMENT ABOUT THAT THE
RESEARCH DEVELOPER WOULD TAKE
BUT THAT MEANS IS THAT THE
DEVELOPER WOULD PROCEED WITH
CONSTRUCTION WHILE LITIGATION IS
PENDING.
AND WHAT WE'RE SAYING IN OUR
LITIGATION IS SLOWER PATH SINCE
IT'S NOT A LOT UNDER SHOULD
UNDERSTAND YOUR TIME.
FOR UNDERSTANDING OKAY SO WHERE
YOU'RE GOING ON THE NORMAL SPEED
AND IF THIS IF UNDER AB NINE
HUNDRED THEY GET AN EXPEDITED
REVIEW. FOR THE ARENAS BILL AND
THE JUDGE IN OUR CASE IS FACED
WITH DO YOU IMPOSE A REMEDY AND
WHAT YOU SAY TEAR DOWN ARENA.
CHANCES ARE FOR MOST JUDGES NOW
SO AT ONE SOLUTION WOULD BE
DON'T BUILD THE ARENA UNTIL THE
LITIGATIONS ARE ALL RESULT BUT
THEN ANOTHER ANOTHER.
OPTION WOULD BE FOR THE COURT TO
ORDER SOME KIND OF PAYMENT TO
AND IF THEY'RE TO WILLING TO
TAKE THE RISK.
AND THEN THERE'S THE QUESTION
ABOUT THE COMMUNITY SO HOW DO
YOU.
HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE
CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY I MEAN
PART A SEQUENCE THE COMMUNITY?
IS ENTITLED TO AND SHOULD BE
PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE.
AND THERE'S APPARENTLY DISPUTE
HERE SO COULD YOU RESPOND TO
THAT.
MINUTES HEARD SCHEDULING A
BEHALF OF THE MURPHY'S PULLED LA
CLIPPERS.
AS I TESTIFIED EARLIER TO THERE
ARE A MYRIAD OF COMMITTEE
MEETINGS TOWN HALL SCOPING
SESSIONS FORMAL SCOPING SESSIONS
OCCURRING AS WE SPEAK.
THE THIRTY SO FAR ALREADY.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF GROUPS
THAT HAVE SPRUNG UP SINCE THE
ADVENT OF THE PROPOSAL OF THIS
[inaudible]
PROJECT --
HOW DO FUNDS THOSE GROUPS AND
AND WHO REALLY AT THE END OF THE
DAYS BEHIND THOSE GROUPS OF I I
DON'T WANT TO COMMENT ABOUT?
I CAN SAY THAT THOSE GROUPS.
GENERALLY ARE GREATLY
OUTNUMBERED AS WITNESSED BY THE
COMMITTEE SUPPORT THAT CAME UP
HERE THEMSELVES TODAY NUMBER.
ONE NUMBER TWO THE COMMUNITY IS
COMMITTED.
TO COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY
INCOMPLETE INVOLVEMENT OF THE
COMMUNITY AND ALL OF THE
COMMITTEE BENEFITS AND ALL OF
THE IMPACTS.
THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE I. R.
PROCESS DOESN'T CHANGE.
IN THIS AND AND IS COMMITTED TO
HAVING ALL OF THE COMMITTEE
INVOLVED IN THOSE.
CHAU I I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD THAT
THEY'RE LIFTING CALLS IN BUDGET.
I WANT TO PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING.
A PART OF THE SOLUTION HERE IS
TO EXTEND A. B. NINE HUNDRED FOR
THIS PROJECT --
IF WE WERE WILLING TO DO THAT
WOULD THAT AND THAT WAS PROPOSED
IN THE ANALYSIS.
WOULD THAT ADDRESS THE CONCERNS
SOME OF THE CONCERNS YOU HAVE
THAT WE WOULD.
OF A EXTEND A. B. NINE HUNDRED
WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO EXPIRE IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE SO THAT GIVES
YOU THE TIME SO THAT YOU'RE NOT
UP AGAINST THAT DEADLINE.
A YOU MAY BE UP AGAINST OTHER
DEADLINES BUT THAT WOULD GIVE
YOU THE OPPORTUNITY --
TO THAT FALL WITHIN TO COMPLY
UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED SO IT
DOESN'T REMEDY THAT 15%
REDUCTION IN VEHICLE TRIPS.
THUS IT THAT THAT IT THAT'S NOT
DOWN ARE.
YOU'D YOU'D HAVE MORE TIME --
TO TO COMPLY WITH A. B. NINE
HUNDRED DIDN'T WITH THEM WHAT EX
CURRENTLY EXISTING.
THAT THEY'RE A COUPLE OTHERS I'M
GONNA ASK YOU TO DO IN MY
ABSENCE BUT HERE A COUPLE OTHER
THINGS -- A
THAT I WOULD ASK THAT YOU
CONSIDER ACCEPTING ONE AGAIN IS
TO ACCEPTING THE COSTS I THINK
WE GOT THE ACCEPTING THE COSTS --
THAT IT WILL THE BILL WOULD HAVE
TO CLARIFY THAT THIS WON'T
AFFECT A THE CURRENT LITIGATION.
EVERYBODY GETS THEIR SHOT AT
HOME AND THAT EXPEDITED REVIEW
DOES NOT APPLY TO THE PENDING
LITIGATION THOSE LAWSUITS WILL
CONTINUE IN THEIR NORMAL COURSE
BECAUSE NOW.
I THINK THIS IS THIS A VERY
COMPLICATED SITUATION WHERE
THERE ARE.
NOW A LOT OF DIFFERENT PARTIES
AND OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF
DISCONTENT THAT HAS NOT YET
PLAYED ITSELF OUT.
SO WITH THOSE [inaudible]
PROPOSALS --
YEAH I WOULD I WOULD BE INCLINED.
TO OF THIS.
SUPPORT THIS RELUCTANTLY AS I
WAS WITH THE OTHER BUT I THINK
THAT WILL.
ATTACKED ALL THE PARTIES AND
STILL GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY
IF YOU CAN MAKE THIS ALL WORK.
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO ACCEPT
SO I I HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW
TO RECONCILE THE FIRST STATEMENT
THAT YOU --
MADE ABOUT --
AS IT RELATES TO HAVING A COMPLY
WITH AB NINE HUNDRED GIVEN THE
FACT THAT --
WE HAVE A TRANSIT STARTS
COMMUNITY AND WE'RE STILL
FOCUSING ON THE 15% --
EMISSIONS REDUCTION THAT WOULD
HAVE TO BE MET.
IN WELL BEFORE AS WE'VE STATED
IT COULD BE IN THIS INSTANCE
GIVEN THIS COMMUNITY.
SO GET UPSWING IN MANAGER ON
THAT POINT I THINK.
THERE MAY BE A MISUNDERSTANDING
HERE OUR INABILITY TO ME A 15%
VEHICLE TRIPS YES.
STARTS WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION IS
DONE IN THE AND THE ARENA IS
OPEN.
WE THEN HAVE TO COMPLY WITHIN
ONE YEAR UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED
AND WHAT.
COMMITTEE ADOPTED LAST WEEK WAS
GIVING US FIVE YEARS FROM THAT
TIME TO COMPLY WITH THE 50% SO.
WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO
WORK ON THE 50% BETWEEN NOW AND
THE SEQUEL --
CHALLENGE BECAUSE THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS ONLY
AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION IS
COMPLETED THAT'S WHEN WE NEED
THE ADDITIONAL TIME THAT'S WHAT
A. B. NINE HUNDRED TO SUPPORT US
[inaudible]
SO.
LUKE IS REMOVED.
PICK THAT THAT'S THAT'S FINE IS
THERE ANY OTHER COMMENT I'D I DO
HAVE A COUPLE OF THE COUNTY --
IT LOOKS IS IT IT APPEARS TO ME
THAT TAKING THE AMENDMENTS THAT
YOU DID ON THE AGREED TO
AMENDMENTS AT THE PREMIERE THAT
NINE HUNDRED NOT ON THE 15%.
THAT IT'S BECAUSE IT'S CLOSE BUT
YOU MEET THE TIME TO GUARANTEE
TIMELINE SAID A. B. NINE HUNDRED
PROVIDES OUR TIMELINES FOR THE
GOVERNOR CERTIFICATION SO IT
DOESN'T IT DOESN'T TRACK ON I I
WHAT I WANT TO FOCUSING ON IS.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE VEHICLE
MILES THE MANAGEMENT PLAN IN THE
IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
MANSION PLANNED BECAUSE THERE'S
SOME CONCERN THAT NOTHING'S
GOING TO HAPPEN WE WON'T HAVE
ANY IDEA OF HOW.
THE TRANSIT STARVED.
AREAIS GOING TO PROCEED YEARS
INGLEWOOD I ASSUME THAT THEY ARE
DOING SOME THINGS TO REDUCE
TRAFFIC --
TRACK.
OUR TRAFFIC CAN IMPROVE TRANSIT
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU WHAT
THE PROPONENT PART AUTHOR
ENVISIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT
PLAN THE DISCUSSION OF THE
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT
PLAN -- IN
THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY BUT
THERE'S THERE'S WHAT DOES IT
LOOK LIKE HOW TO SETIT INVOLVES
WHOSE PARTICIPATES WITH THE
HERE'S RE SPORT.
RESOURCE BOARDS VERSUS THE
ACHIEVING THEM 50% GOAL AT THAT
TIME TABLE.
BECAUSE IT SAID THAT SAID THAT
THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
DOING NOTHING UNTIL TWENTY
THIRTY AND I UNDERSTAND SIR THAT
WHITE HOUSE YOU KNOW THE I THINK
WE CAN ANSWER THAT --
THERE'S A COUPLE THINGS AND AND
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T
GET THEM CONTINUE SO.
WE AGREED IN YOUR COMMITTEE TO
THE NET ZERO FOR GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS.
CAR ON THE FRONT END OF THAT
DETERMINES BUT IN FACT THE
METHODOLOGY USED TO REACH DOT
NET ZERO WILL IN FACT RESULTANT
ZERO AND THEN WHAT WE DID IN
YOUR COMMITTEE WAS TO SAY IN
ADDITION TO THAT.
THE CITY OR THE LEAD AGENCY IS
RICH CHOIR THAT THE END OF THAT
FIRST YEAR. TO REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL MITIGATION IF THEY
DETERMINE THAT THAT MET ZERO WAS
NOT MET SO WHERE HAVE BACK AND
SO MISTER MANLEY WAS TESTIFYING
ABOUT.
BACK IN COMPLIANCE WHICH IS THE
STRONGEST OF ANY OF THESE BILLS
NOW RELATIVE TO THE THE 50%
REDUCTION IN VEHICLE TRIPS.
THAT'S WHERE IT'S THE
TRANSPORTATION DEMAND MANAGEMENT
PLAN AND THE CONGESTION PLAN
WHICH WHICH WE'VE BEEN TOLD
QUITE FRANKLY IS GOING TO BE
PRIDE THE MOST EXPENSIVE
TRANSPORTATION CONGESTION
MEASURE PLAN EVER DONE --
WILL HAVE A VARIETY OF
COMPONENTS THAT WILL ALL BE
INVOLVED AT AIMING AT REACH
[inaudible]
DEEPER STANDARD.
WE NO WE CAN'T MAKE IT THERE IN
THE FIRST YEAR IT BUT WITH.
WHAT YOU'RE COMMITTEE REQUIRED
WHICH IS THAT WE PROVIDE SHUTTLE
BUSES ON GAME DAYS TO TRANSIT
STOPS?
WITH CREATIVE THINGS LIKE THAT
THAT THE MITIGATION IN THE BILL
REQUIRES WE BELIEVE WE CAN GET
TO THE 15%.
BUT WE JUST CAN'T GET THERE AT
THE END OF THE FIRST YEAR SO
THAT'S WHY THE PROPOSED WHAT
I'VE TRIED TO SUGGEST NINE MAYBE
IN ARTFULLY IS THAT.
IF WE GIVE YOU EXTRA TIME UNDER
A. B. NINE HUNDRED FOR THAT
VEHICLE MILES ISSUE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
WITH THAT.
PROVIDE YOU WITH.
IF I COULD MADAM CHAIR I JUST
COULD NOT BE IN AB NINE HUNDRED
EXPERT I NEED TO CONSULT FOR
SALE.
PART WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IT IS I
AM GOING TO TAKE A FIVE MINUTE
RECESS BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT TO GO
VOTE ON THE BUDGET SO THAT WOULD
GIVE YOU TIME TO TALK AMONGST
YOURSELVES ON THE VARIOUS.
ITEMS THAT WE'VE DISCUSSED AND
WE WILL RECONVENE INFO AT
WELL WELL WE WILL.
MOVE ON TO THE NEXT BILL AND
THEN BRING IT BACK WHEN THERE IS
SOME --
UNDERSTANDING --
SO THERE'S CLARITY THERE'S NO
CONFUSION AS THERE WAS AT THE
LAB APPARENTLY.
IN THOSE IN THE LAST HEARING
NOBODY'S FAULT.
NO NO NO.
WE ARE BEING ASKED TO BE IN TOO
MANY PLACES AT ONCE AND DOING
TOO MANY THINGS AND WHEN THAT
HAPPENS YOU DON'T DO YOUR BEST
WORK.
AND I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO FEEL
AS THOUGH THEY'VE BEEN
MISUNDERSTOOD OR MIS HEARD --
SO I'D LIKE TO ASK --
STAFF ABOUT TO GO OUT IN THE
HALL WITH THE AUTHOR.
AND I DON'T WANT TO HUNDRED
PEOPLE AROUND HER IT'S GOING TO
BE STAFF --
AND THE CAN YOU SEE THE JUST
STAFF FROM ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
WHO ARE BELIEVED IS HERE --
AND YOU YOU'LL.
YOU'LL COME TO A AN
UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHAT THE
AGREEMENTS HAVE BEEN AND WHAT WE
ARE.
HOPEFULLY COMING TO AN AGREEMENT
ON HERE WE'VE JUST DISCUSSED IT
LET'S SEE IF WE CAN'T GET THE
LANGUAGE RIGHT.
AND THEN WE WILL BRING YOU BACK
AND WE WILL.
GET THAT CLARITY AND THEN VOTE
ON THE BILL.
ALRIGHT IF WE COULD DO THAT I
JUST.
APPRECIATE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
OTHER BILLS AND WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO DO NOW IS BECAUSE WE HAVE SO
MANY OTHER AUTHORS.
ARE WE GOING TO GO BACK IN FILE
ORDER --
MEDICAL BACK AND FOLLOWED HER.
WHEN ARE COULD TO THE OTHER SHE
QUIT BILL NOW I'M GOING TO WAIT

ADDITION --
AS THIS COMMITTEE IS AWARE
YESTERDAY I PRESENTED THIS BILL

WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE IT YESTERDAY
I WILL BE TAKING IT.
ALBEIT THOSE.
AMENDMENTS WILL BE TAKEN AT THE
CONCLUSION OF THIS COMMITTEE
THANK YOU --
I'D LIKE TO THINK ALSO BY THE
WAY THE COMMITTEE STAFF --
I THINK THIS BILL WAS REFERRED
TO THIS COMMITTEE ONLY JUST THIS
LAST FRIDAY SO I DO APPRECIATE
THE WORK THAT YOU'VE DONE.
AND THE DILIGENCE THAT YOU --
FOR YOU'VE DEMONSTRATED.
OF THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE THE
BOARDS OF CALPERS AND CAL STIRS
TO DIVEST PUBLIC EMPLOYEE
RETIREMENT FUNDS FROM ANY
INVESTMENT VEHICLE ISSUED BY
OWNED CONTROLLED OR MANAGED BY
THE GOVERNMENT OF TURKEY.
THE LIQUIDATION OF INVESTMENTS
IN TURKEY IS CONTINGENT UPON THE
PASSAGE OF FEDERAL LAW ISSUING
SANCTIONS AGAINST TURKEY.
THIS CONTINGENCY BECAUSE
INSURERS.
THE VAST FROM TURKEY REMAINS
[inaudible]
CONSISTENT.
WITH PASSED THE VESTMENTS FROM
FOREIGN NATIONS INCLUDING SUDAN
AND IRAN.
IN THE PURSE AND STIRS WILL NOT
DIVEST UNTIL THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN ACTION
FIRST.
ALSO THIS BILL INCLUDES A
PROVISION PROTECTING THE BOARDS
OF CALPERS AND CAL STIRS.
BY STATING ACTIONS TAKEN TO
ALIGN WITH THIS BILL ARE NOT
REQUIRED IF THEY VIOLATE THE
BOARD'S FIDUCIARY
RESPONSIBILITIES.
FURTHER THERE'S A PROVISION IN
THEM THE FIND THE BOARDS AND
EMPLOYEES FROM CLAIMS BROUGHT
FORTH BY ACTIONS TAKEN IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THIS BILL.
REPUBLIC OF TURKEY'S
UNWILLINGNESS TO RECOGNIZE THE
GENOCIDE AND THEIR UNRELENTING
CAMPAIGN. TO DENY THE GENOCIDE
CONTINUES TO DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST ARMENIANS AND OTHER
ETHNIC MINORITIES WHO SUFFERED
AT THE HANDS OF THE TURKISH
GOVERNMENT AND THE LAST TURN OF
THE CENTURY.
CALIFORNIA HAS CLEAR POLICY ON
THE GENOCIDE AS THE MISTREATED
BY DECADES OF LEGISLATIVE
RESOLUTIONS AND GUBERNATORIAL
PROCLAMATIONS.
CALIFORNIA'S INVESTMENT IN
TURKISH GOVERNMENT BONDS
INDIRECTLY SUBSIDIZES TURKISH
DENIAL OF THE GENOCIDE.
THIS BILL CONTINUES CALIFORNIA'S
COMMITMENT TO ACT APPROPRIATELY
AGAINST COUNTRIES THAT HAVE A
RECORD OF HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS AND UNDERMINE
DEMOCRACY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANY

THE BILL IMPRINT IS A PRODUCT OF
EXTENSIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN
MY OFFICE IN THE TECH INDUSTRY
TO ADDRESS THAT CRITICAL
CYBERSECURITY PROBLEM.
WITH THE COLLABORATION OF
SENATOR JOE EFFORTS IN S. B.
THREE TWO SEVEN THE RESULTING
LANGUAGE WILL PROVIDE IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS AGAINST THE GRIM
FORECAST OF INCREASING I OR T.
VULNERABILITIES. TO TWO US CYBER
ATTACKS AT THIS BILL REQUIRES
MANUFACTURERS TO EQUIP CONNECTED
DEVICES WAS REASONABLE SECURITY
FEATURES THAT ARE APPROPRIATE.
TO THE NATURE AND FUNCTION OF
THE DEVICE AND THE INFORMATION
THEY COLLECT CONTAINED OR
TRANSMIT TO PROTECT THE DEVICE
AND ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED
THEREIN.
FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS
DESTRUCTION USE MODIFICATION OR
DISCLOSURE.
WHILE I'VE WORKED HARD --
TO I REMOVE INDUSTRY OPPOSITION
AND I HAVE A OF OF WELL TECH
THAT WILL TALK ABOUT THEIR
POSITION BUT OF BASICALLY
SUPPORT AND NEUTRAL POSITIONS
FROM CAL CHAMBER CONTI A CTIA
ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL
ADVERTISERS IN CALIFORNIA
RETAILERS ASSOCIATION.
NOT ALL THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS COULD BE MET WHILE
MAINTAINING AND EFFECTIVE BILL.
SO IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO

WITNESSES IN SUPPORT MADAM CHAIR
LAURIE BENNETT WITH TECH NAT TO
WE HAVE A SUPPORT POSITION ON
NINETEEN NO SIX COMING INTO THIS

ONE CONCERN IS RELATES THE AGING
FOR SORT ISSUE I'VE TALKED TO
AYE YOUR STAFF AN ALSO MISS
IRWIN STAFF ON HOW WE CAN COME
TO A COMPROMISE ON THAT.
WHO LOOKED DEPORTED DOING AND
THE FUTURE OTHER WITNESS THE
SAME KIND OF SUPPORT?
ANY WITNESSES SO HARD

ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
BILLS MEN.
MOTION BY SENATOR Y. KOWSKI ARE
YOU IN OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT.
WHAT IF YOU COULD TAKE A SEAT?
TWO WITNESSES TWO MINUTES IF YOU
SO CHOOSE.
GOING TO THE CHAIR IN THE
COMMITTEE AND THE AUTHOR FOR THE
WORK ON THE BILL SO FAR A MAY
MISTER ALL COOKED ARABS AND THE
CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS AND
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION.
BUT WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE BILL
UNLESS IT IS AMENDED TO ADDRESS
TWO ISSUES THE FIRST THAT THE
DEFINITION A MANUFACTURER IN THE
BILL CREATES A LOOPHOLE THAT
FRUSTRATES THE PURPOSE OF THE
BILL ANDPLEASE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURES AT A COMPETITIVE
DISADVANTAGE.
RIGHT NOW THE BILL EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDES COMPANIES THAT SOURCE
EXISTING DEVICES FROM OVERSEAS
AND RESELLS THEM IN AMERICA
UNDER PRIVATE LABEL.
BUT THIS ISSUE WAS HIGHLIGHTED
IN THE EXAMPLE IN THE ANALYSIS
WAS JOHN MINE AS A CALIFORNIA OR
IS A CHINESE MANUFACTURER THAT
DOES NOT SELL ANY OF ITS
PRODUCTS UNDER ITS OWN BRAND OR
TO END USERS PRODUCT ONLY INTO
THE CALIFORNIA MARKET.
THROUGH IMPORTERS AND RELABEL
WHERE'S THE BORDERS AND REALLY
BLURS LIKE TRENDNET WHICH WAS
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS COMMITTEE ANALYSIS --
THEY ARE A RETAILER A CALIFORNIA
RETAILER THAT COMPETE BELKIN
CISCO THAN OTHER AMERICAN
MANUFACTURERS BURKE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS OF PRODUCTS.
IT OBTAINS FROM FOREIGN SOURCES
AND THEMSELVES UNDER IS OWN
BRAND BOTH COMPANIES THAT HAVE
BEEN THE SOURCE OF SIGNIFICANT
CYBER ATTACKS NEITHER IS IN THE
BILL.
BUT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO SELL
WITHOUT SECURING THE DEVICES
UNDERCUTTING CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS ORINDA AND WHAT WE
DO TO COMPLY WITH EIGHTEEN
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN OH SIX HOLY
MOVED.
AT THEIR PLACE ON TO A NETWORK
BUT THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE
BILL'S CURRENT LIMITATION
LIABILITY ONLY.
APPLIES TO ONE STANDARD
DEVELOPED BY INDUSTRY PASSWORDS
AND SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO
INCLUDE OTHER INDUSTRY STANDARDS
THAT ARE MEANT TO ADDRESS FOR
SIEBEL SECURITY VULNERABILITIES
pAYE AS REASONABLE. TO PROVIDE
MANUFACTURED TO CLEAR NOTICE ON
HOW TO COMPLY WITH THE BILL THIS
IS WHAT HAPPENS ABOUT CURRENTLY
UNDER FTC ENFORCEMENT AYE AND
SHOULD.
BE AND SHOULD BE NO DIFFERENT
ARE UNDER CALIFORNIA THERE'S NO
SENSE IN SINGLING OUT ONE
INDUSTRY STANDARD AS A
REASONABLE AND NOT.
ALSO I INCLUDING OTHER STANDARDS
THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED IN A
SIMILAR FASHION LOT WITH THAT WE
ASK YOU TO OPPOSE LISTED AMENDED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OTHER
WITNESSES ON OPPOSITE.
THE ALLIANCE OF AUTOMATED
FACTORS WE'VE HAD PRODUCTIVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE AUTHOR
AND ARE WORKING WHEN WE SHOULD
DRESS OUR CONCERNS [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
IS ERNIE AND ANY QUESTION ANY
QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ALRIGHT.
I APPRECIATE THE THE BILL I
THINK THIS IS GOOD MOVING
FORWARD TO STARTING TO ADDRESS
AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN FOR FAR
TOO LONG NEGLECTED.
PUBLIC REALLY NEEDS TO BE GIVEN
SOME.
CONTROL OVER THESE ISSUES AND
CERTAINLY KNOWLEDGE AND
APPRECIATE THE WORK.
AND THE COLLABORATION ON THIS
AND CERTAINLY I'M SURE THAT THE
WE'LL TRY TO ADDRESS OTHER
CONCERNS GOOD THE THESE RTC
ISSUES AND BUT THEY DO NEED TO
BE ADDRESSED AND NOW SO.
WITH THAT I APPRECIATED AND IF
YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AYE VOTE

Q. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY MUCH APPRECIATED.
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE.
THANK YOU MY NAME IS ALEX CHINA
AND I'M ATTORNEY AT THE NATIONAL
CENTER FOR LESBIAN RIGHTS --
AND BEFORE I WAS THERE I WAS --
CLICK ON THE NINTH CIRCUIT AND I
WAS THE FIRST OPENLY TRANSGENDER
EDITOR OF THE HARVARD LAW REVIEW.
I WANT TO MAKE THREE MAIN POINTS
TODAY ABOUT THE BILL.
I'M THE FIRST IS THAT THE BILL
IS EXTENSION OF THE STATE'S
CARETAKING OBLIGATION TO THESE
YOUTHS I'M THE STATE'S SOUNDS
AND LOCAL PRINTERS WITH REGARD
TO FOSTER CARE YOUTH AND HAVE A
OBLIGATION TO GIVE HEALTH.
HEALTH CARE THAT THE FOSTER CARE
OF THAT THESE KIDS NEED IS
MEDICALLY NECESSARY FOR THEM.
SECONDLY I'M I'D LIKE TO MAKE
THE POINT THAT [inaudible]
LAS AROUND UNTIL OUR GUARDIAN
CONSENTS --
AND THIRDLY THAT THIS IS
CLARIFYING LA THIS LOG CLARIFIES
THAT THESE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO
ACCESS CARE THAT THEY ALREADY
HAVE COVERAGE FOR UNDER MEDI CAL
AND THE REASON THAT THEY'RE
READY HAVE COVERAGE FOR THIS
CARE.
IS THAT THIS IS BEEN RECOGNIZED
AS MEDICALLY NECESSARY
LIFESAVING CARE.
BY ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE
AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION THE
AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION
THE WORLD PROFESSIONAL
ASSOCIATION TRANSGENDER HEALTH
AND THE IMMIGRANT SOCIETY WHAT
THIS BILL DOES IS IT NORMALIZES
THE TREATMENT OF THIS TYPE OF
CARE.
BY BRINGING IT IN LINE WITH THE
KIND OF TREATMENT AT ALL.
FORCED BY THE ALL YOU HAVE
ACCESS TO WHAT IS MEDICALLY
NECESSARY DISS ON INAPPROPRIATE
TO TAKE A YOUTH WHO HAS FOR
EXAMPLE DIABETES AND SAY YOU
SHOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO INSULIN
UNTIL YOU COME OF AGE.
MEDICALLY INAPPROPRIATE TO TELE
TRANSGENDER GENDER NON
CONFORMING USE THAT THEY SHOULD
NOT HAVE ACCESS TO GENDER FROM
HEALTH SERVICES UNTIL THEY COME
OF AGE.
FINALLY AS A RESULT AB TWO ONE
NINE WILL IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR
YOUTH IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM
THANK YOU.

WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
GOOD AFTERNOON [inaudible]
THERE.
GOOD AFTERNOON HOW FIRST OFF I'D
LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR
YOUR STAMINA.
TODAY.
NOT DONE YET BUT YOUR HE CATIONS
[inaudible]
YOU NEED.
MY NAME IS FOR NAY JACKSON TIME
I HAVE A MALE TO FEMALE POST
OPERATIVE SEXUAL.
I'VE LIVED OVER FORTY YEARS OF
MY LIFE IN THIS WORLD.
AND I HAVE ALSO AUTHOR OF THREE
BOOKS.
THE ONE I'M RESEARCHING RIGHT
NOW ON GENDER IS ON RAPID ONSET
OF GENDER DYSPHORIA IN
ADOLESCENCE --
LET ME SAY I ABSOLUTELY AM
AGAINST. TWENTY ONE NINETEEN
WELL I WHOLE HEARTEDLY BELIEVE
THAT IT'S HERE AND TAPPED GENDER
DYSPHORIC CHILDREN WITH THIS
LEGISLATION.
THAT NEITHER SCIENCE NOR
MEDICINE YET FULLY UNDERSTANDS
THE ROOT CAUSE OF GENDER
CONFUSION.
NOR HAS THERE BEEN ENOUGH
RESEARCH INTO THE EFFECTS.
OF PUBERTY BLOCKERS AND
SURGERIES ON GENDER DYSPHORIC
HAD CHILDREN TO UNDERSTAND HER
FOR WARN US.
OF ANY SHORT AND LONG TERM
BECAUSE THAT THIS PROSPECTIVE
LEGISLATION WILL CAUSE.
WELL STE THE THIS LEGISLATION IS
WELL MEANT.
IT HOLDS THE VERY REAL POTENTIAL
TO HARM MORE CHILDREN THAN HIS
HELP.
BY IMPOSING MEDICAL TREATMENTS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN QUESTION.
WELLS SOME DOCTORS SUPPORT
GENDER AFFIRMATION OF CHILDREN'S
GENDER CHOICE OTHERS DO NOT.
THERE IS NOT A UNIVERSAL
CONSENSUS WITHIN THE MEDICAL IN
THERAPY COMMUNITIES WHICH
SUPPORTS.
ANY SPECIFIC TREATMENT MODELS
FOR GENDER DYSPHORIC KIDS.
WE ALL WANT THE ONLY WANT THE
VERY BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN.
BUT I ASK THAT YOU WAIT UNTIL WE
LEARN MORE ABOUT [inaudible]
RARE CONDITION. FOR YOU AND THAT
LEGISLATION IT WOULD LIMIT
TREATMENT OPTIONS.
DO NOT LET SOCIAL PRESSURE FORCE
YOU TO TURN YOUR SYMPATHY AND
SUPPORT FOR GENDER DYSPHORIC
KIDS.
INTO SOMETHING THAT YOU AND
THESE CHILDREN WILL LIVE TO
REGRET.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH NEXT WITNESS
THANK YOU THANK YOU COMMITTEE
MEMBERS IT IN CHAIR MY NAME IS
DOCTOR MICHAEL LATE LYMAN
ENDOCRINOLOGIST --
IN ROCKLIN A GLAND IN HORMONE
SPECIALIST.
PUBLIC TO THINK MISTER GLORIA
FOR CARING ABOUT FOSTER CHILDREN.
BUT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT'S
LEFT BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE
ANALYSIS WHAT'S MISSING IS A
MEDICAL VIEW IN WHAT'S BEEN
CALLED AFFIRMATIVE CARE.
LET'S BE CLEAR WHAT THAT IS
NUMBER ONE POWERFUL AND
DANGEROUS HORMONES TO BLOCK KIDS
NORMAL PUBERTY.
NUMBER TO HIDE DOES HIGH RISK
SEX HORMONES WITH DEADLY BLOOD
CLOT AND CANCER RISK NUMBER
THREE HAZARDOUS SURGERIES FOR
BOYS TO TURN INTESTINES INTO.
REGINA'S WHILE DESTROYING THE
* AND REMOVING* NUMBER
FOR BREAST BINDERS AND MYSTIC
TIMMY'S TO DESTROY TEENAGE GIRLS
HEALTHY BREAST TISSUE.
OVER IN UTERUS REMOVAL ENSURING
STIRRUP STERILITY.
THIS IS ALL BEING DONE ALLEGEDLY
TO STOP TREND SHUT TRAIN CHILD
SUICIDE WHICH IS.
WHICH IS A GOOD THING BUT WE CAN
ACTUALLY STOP TREND SUICIDE BY
PROVIDING PROPER MENTAL HEALTH
CARE RATHER THAN THIS THERAPY.
70% OF TRANS PEOPLE HAVE A
MENTAL HEALTH DISORDER NOW OVER
IN THEIR LIFETIME LEADING TO
THIS RISK.
AND RISK OF TRANSPOSONS NINETEEN
TIMES HIGHER EVEN WITH THESE
HORMONES AND SURGERIES.
THIS IS FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT
THAN SPEAKING ABOUT.
GAY OR LESBIAN IDENTIFYING KIDS
AND THIS IS WHY AND THE REASON
WHY.
DOCTORS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE
ABSOLUTELY NO WAY OF DIAGNOSING
WITH CERTAINTY WHO IS A TRUE
TRANS CHILD AND WHO AS GENDER
DYSPHORIA CONFUSION WITH
UNDERLYING MELT MENTAL HEALTH
AND AND IT CAN PROBLEMS.
THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT BORN THAT
WAY THIS IS DIFFERENT MULTIPLE
RECENT STUDIES HAVE PROVEN 8295%
OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS WILL
ACTUALLY GROW OUT OF THEIR
GENDER CONFUSION.
PROPER TREATMENT FOR FOSTER KIDS
WITH GENDER DYSPHORIA INVOLVE
PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING IN AND
YOU CAN CARE.
ADDITIONAL EL STATE HERE IN THIS
STATE THERE ARE UNETHICAL AND I
WOULD CONTEND ILLEGAL
EXPERIMENTS ON HUMAN CHILDREN
OCCURRING RIGHT NOW AND YOU SEE
A SOUTH.
THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL LOS
ANGELES.
BECAUSE OF AFFIRMING THERAPY
CHILDREN ARE BEING STERILIZED
HAVING SEXUAL FUNCTION
PERMANENTLY DESTROYED ACQUIRING
LIFELONG HEALTH RISKS FROM
HORMONES AND NOT BEING GIVEN
PROPER PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY AS
YOU HEARD HER EARLIER.
I CALL FOR AN INVESTIGATION AND
I CAN CITE FEDERAL LAWS THAT ARE
BEING VIOLATED IF WE WISH TO
KNOW.
WHATEVER GOOD IS INTENDED INTO
ONE ONE NINE IT IS A MISTAKE
THAT WILL HARM FOSTER CHILDREN
ACTUALLY I MOST STRONGLY URGE A
NO VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
WHO'D STEPPED FORWARD TO THE
MICROPHONE YOUR NAME AND
AFFILIATION ONLY PLEASE.

ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION ART BACK TO THE DYESS --
VERY GOOD --
THE INTERESTING STATISTICS ABOUT
THE THE RATE OF SUICIDE IN
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN --
USE WHO ARE.
CAN.
I HAVE CITATIONS FOR THAT.
UNDERSTOOD.
COULD IT IS THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
IT YOUR YOUR TWO WITNESSES COULD
YOU RESPOND TO TO THOSE NUMBERS
AND YOUR THOUGHTS ON ON THAT
PARTICULAR SET OF SUBJECTS ABOUT
THE MENTAL HEALTH [inaudible]
OF OUR IT LGBTQ USE.
FULLER TRY SENATOR I MEAN IT IS
ACCURATE AS I MENTIONED MY
TESTIMONY THAT STYLE TRANSGENDER
YOUTH ARE OVER REPRESENTED OUR
FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.
IS ACCURATE THAT THEY EXPERIENCE
LA HIGHER LEVELS OF DEPRESSION
ANXIETY OTHER COMMITMENTS OF
HEALTH AILMENTS INCLUDING
ATTENDED AND SUCCESSFUL SUICIDE.
I BELIEVE IT ACTUALLY IS THE
FULL REASON FOR THIS BILL AND
MANAGE CHAIR.
THESE CHILDREN ARE OFTEN DENIED
ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE CARE AS
YOU HEARD FROM OUR WITNESS
SPEECH MISTREATED BY HER FOSTER
CARE PARENTS NOT BEING PROVIDED
THE KIND OF CARE THAT WOULD
SUPPORT HER.
PARTICULAR SHE SOUGHT TO
TRANSITION I IS EXACTLY WHY YOU
WOULD SEE CHILDREN FOLLOW TO
DEPRESSION AND THEN TAKE EXTREME
MEASURES WITH THIS BILL THESE
CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO A
CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE WE AND
CUT THE COMPETITION APPROPRIATE
CARE.
IT IS GIVING NO SPECIAL LICENSE
IT SIMPLY ALLOWING THEM TO WORK
DIRECTLY THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
THAT CAN HELP THEM WITH FEES --
THINGS I WOULD RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE WITH THE OUT WITH OF
THE CALCULATIONS AND POSITION IT
IS NOT THAT AT ALL IT'S
EXPRESSLY STATED STATE LAW THAT
THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THIS KIND
OF CARE WHICH I THINK WILL
ADDRESS THAT THE STATISTIC THAT
YOU'RE CONCERNED BY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH --

BILL OF FOR EXAMPLE SOME THE
TIME LINES WILL BE CONCERNED
ABOUT WHERE WE HAVE TO IMPLEMENT
A A SOFTWARE.
WITHIN THREE DAYS SOMETIMES IT
TAKES A WE JUST WANT TO ASSESS
AND TASK BEFORE WE STARTED
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS.
ADDITIONALLY WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
IT IT'S BEEN INSTALLED WITHIN
THIRTY DAYS HOW WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THAT PATCHES ACTUALLY
OPERATIONAL AT THAT POINT.
MANY TIMES ARE SOMETIMES THERE'S
MITIGATION CONTROLS THAT WE CAN
PUT IN PLACE INSTEAD OF A PATCH
SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE SKY
SINCE THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH
THE ASSEMBLYMAN TO TRY TO
ADDRESS.
IT FINALLY WE HOURS ALSO ARE
VERY CONCERNED WITH THE PORTION

SIX AB.
TWENTY ONE SIXTY SEVEN THANK YOU
AGAIN MANAGER AND SENATORS SAW
AB TWENTY ONE SIXTY SEVEN WITH
THE FINE DIGITAL HEALTH FEEDBACK
SYSTEM. TO INCLUDE DIGITAL PILLS
WHICH ARE PHARMACEUTICALS
COMBINED WITH AN JUST DOUBLE
MICROCHIP SENSORS THAT CAN
RECORD THE TIME LOCATION AND
IF THE PHYSICAL STATE OF THE
PERSON TAKING A DRUG SUCH AS
TEMPERATURE ACTIVITY HEART RATE
AND RESPIRATION Y. THIS
TECHNOLOGY STANDS TO IMPROVE HOW
HEALTHCARE IS DELIVERED.
THESE ADVANCEMENTS DO NOT COME
WITHOUT RISKS HEALTH AND MEDICAL
INFORMATION IS BY ITS VERY
NATURE DEEPLY PERSONAL AND
SENSITIVE.
AS NEW TECHNOLOGIES MAKE MEDICAL
INFORMATION EASILY AND QUICKLY
ACCESSIBLE VIA APPS AND WEBSITES
CALIFORNIA HAS PASSED LAWS TO
ENSURE THAT MEDICAL INFORMATION
HELD BY THESE DEVICES IS
PROTECTED UNDER ALL PRIVACY.
LAWS HOWEVER IN MOST INSTANCES
ARE INCLUDED IN ORDER TO BE
CONSIDER MEDICAL INFORMATION
GIVE HIM THE INFORMATION NEEDS
TO BE GENERATED BY A HEALTHCARE
PROVIDER.
INTERMISSION THAT IS GENERATED
BY DIGITAL THEM MEANING AT THE
PATIENT LEVEL AND OUTSIDE OF THE
MEDICAL FACILITY WOULD NOT
NECESSARILY BE CAPTURE ON THE
CALIFORNIA'S EXISTING DEFINITION
OF MEDICAL INFORMATION.
HA AB TWENTY ONE SIX SEVEN
ENSURES THAT CALIFORNIA'S
CONFIDENTIALITY OF MEDICAL
INFORMATION ACT OR CMI A APPLIES
TO INFORMATION DERIVED FROM OR
IN THE POSSESSION OF THESE
DIGITAL HELLFIRE FEEDBACK
SYSTEMS.
OF THE BILL WOULD DEFINITELY
REQUIRE OF THE VENUE FRACTURES
ECLIPSED BY THE SYSTEMS WOULD
REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE
SECURITY FEATURES.
I'VE -- WORK
CLOSELY WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO
ADDRESS THE CONCERNS AS THE BILL
MOVES --
FORWARD THEIR AND WILL CONTINUE
TO DO SO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
GOOD EVENING FROM MEMBER ISSUE
ALL OVER A GREAT CALIFORNIA LIFE
SCIENCES ASSOCIATION --
LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION WITH
RESPECT TO THESE DIGITAL PILLS I
THEY ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO DO
ANYTHING OTHER THAN TELL YOUR
PHYSICIAN THAT YOU CAN JUST OF
THE DEVICE.
THEY'RE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A
GRAIN OF SAND --
Y. WE FULLY SUPPORT PROTECT IN
THE PATIENT'S DATA THE PILL
THEMSELVES OR THAT THE SAID THE
CENTER ITSELF AYE SENDS A SIGNAL
TO A TRACKER THAT IS PHYSICALLY
FIX YOUR BODY.
IT THEN TRANSMITS TO ANOTHER
MEDICAL DEVICE --
AN APP ON A PLATFORM --
BOTH OF THESE DEVICES ARE
REGULATED BY THE FDA --
THE EMERGING FIELD OF IS IN FACT
SO NEW THAT THERE'S CURRENTLY
ONLY ONE COMPANY MANUFACTURING
THESE -- AND
THERE'S ONLY ONE PHARMACEUTICAL
COMPANY THAT I STARTED TO USE --
THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE
APPLICATION OF THE DEPRIVE
DELIVERY OF THEIR DRUG AS WE
KNOW.
NON ADHERENCE TO MEDICATION IS
ONE OF THE TOP DRIVERS FOR
EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS OR IN SOME
CASES DEATH WE THINK THIS
TECHNOLOGY HAS TREMENDOUS
APPLICATION --
TO BE PUT TO GOOD USE THAT THIS --
BILL IS PROBABLY A LITTLE
PREMATURE THE FDA IN APRIL --
ANNOUNCED SOME ADDITIONAL
GUIDANCE OF THE ONE COMPANY THAT
IS DOING SOME OF THIS HAS A
FIFTY EIGHT PAGE --
DISCLOSURE --
THAT THEY GIVE TO PATIENTS AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE PATIENT HAS
TO ELECT TO SHARE THE DATA WE
HAVE EITHER THEIR HEALTHCARE
PROVIDER OR A FAMILY MEMBER SO
THAT.
THEY KNOW THAT THE PILL HAS BEEN
TAKEN -- SO
WITH THAT I'LL TURN IT OVER TO
FIELDING I THINK IT GETS MORE
TECHNICAL ISSUES.
FIFTY EIGHT PAGES OF
INSTRUCTIONS CARGO NO OF OF
DISCLAIMERS AND OF DISCLAIMERS
AN ARE YOU ASSUMING THAT PEOPLE
CAN READ THEM.
BUT WORK ITSELF.
YES.
MADAM CHAIR I'VE FIELDING
GRIEVES FOR THE ADVANCED MEDICAL
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION AGAIN
APOLOGIZE FOR THE LATE
OPPOSITION AND WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO FIGURE THIS ISSUE OUT --
BUT AGAIN WE DO THINK THIS BILL --
THIS MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES ARE
HEAVILY REGULATED BY THE FDA AND
THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION --
AND AS THIS DOCUMENT LAYS OUT
THE PATIENT RETAINS COMPLETE
CONTROL OVER IT SO THAT OUGHT TO
PRETTY MUCH ADDRESS THE PRIVACY
CONCERNS ARE OUT THERE AS FOR
CYBERSECURITY IT'S ALREADY
HEAVILY REGULATED BY THE FDA --
AND UNDER THE FEDERAL TRADE
COMMISSION'S --
SECTION FIVE UNFAIR AND
DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES
UNFORCED MAJORITY THEY CAN TAKE
PRETTY HEAVY HANDED MEASURES
WHERE THEY FIND THAT A CLEAR
STATEMENT THAT'S MADE BY A
COMPANY --
IS FALSE OR MISLEADING --
SO WITH THAT --
WE WOULD JUST --
STATE STATE FOR THE RECORD WE
THINK THAT THE BILLS WILL BUT
PREMATURE RIGHT NOW AND ASK THAT
WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED
THE PRIVACY WORLD WE HOLD AWFUL
BUT UNTIL WE CAN NOW I'M GONNA
CATCH HOLD OURSELVES ZERO THINGS.
LAND --
BEGIN THIS THIS TECHNOLOGY IS
BRAND NEW AND WOULD STILL LIKE
TO GET MIXED SERVER THAT IS GOOD
GROSS MY IN THE FUTURE SUB THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHAU THE CONCERN
IS THIS IS PREMATURE WOULD YOU
RESPOND TO THAT SHARE ON THE I
THINK THE OPPONENTS MISSION WORD
GUIDANCE AND AND HIDING THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE THERE SOME
GUIDANCE OUT THERE SHOULDN'T
STOP CALIFORNIA FROM A
PROTECTING ONCE OF THE POLICY.
OUR CALVET CODIFIES BEST
PRACTICES ALL THE TIME.
AND ALL THE BILL DOESN'T REALLY
DEVICES SO UNDER CMI A BECAUSE
IT SIMPLY REQUIRES THE
MANUFACTURERS TO EQUIP THESE
EQUIPMENT THE EQUIP THESE ARE
DEVICES WHICH SECURITY MEASURES.
AND IS IT IS THE INFORMATION
THAT WE ARE ALL THAT IS BEING
GENERATED BY THESE DEVICES THAT
ARE WE ARE MAKING A TO BE
PROTECTED UNDER CMI SO.
THE INFORMATION RIGHT NOW IT
ISN'T ON IT IS AND PROTECTED SO
SO TO SPEAK WHEN WHEN THE
INFORMATION IS BEING GENERATED
BY THE DEVICE ARE IT IS NOT
CONSIDERED TO BE.
ARMED BECAUSE PATIENT
INFORMATION THAT'S UNDER CMI
EIGHT SO THERE'S NO PROTECTION
WHATSOEVER TO THE INFORMATION IS
IN TRANSIT.
BOB AND THAT'S THE BLUE THAT IS
THAT IS THE ISSUE ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT BECAUSE IF THE INFORMATION
IS ZIVA GENERATED BY BECAUSE OF
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER OR ARM.
NEVADA IT THEN THAT WILL BE
PROTECTED AND UNDERSEA MIA BUT
SINCE INFORMATION IS GENERATED
BY THE DEVICE ITSELF.
UPDATED IT IS NOT CLASSIFY IT IS
NOT A COVER ON THE CMI A SUIT
THAT IS THAT IS THAT THE THE GAP
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO CLOSE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ALRIGHT A ANY QUESTIONS.

BY ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS AND
HE JUST SAW FOURTEEN AND SIXTEEN
OF THE ANALYSIS.
UP TO CHECK THE PROVISIONS
DEALING WITH TRUTHFUL CONTENT
AND STRIKE LANGUAGE RELATING TO
THE PROVISION ABOUT THE
RECIPIENT NOT HAVING TO OPT OUT
OF RECEIVING AN EMAIL IN ORDER
TO FOLLOW INACTION.
THIS BILL AB TWENTY FIVE FORTY
SIX WILL ENSURE THAT THE
NETWORKS AND THE SENDERS OF
FALSE AND DECEPTIVE SPAM EMAILS
ARE HELD LIABLE FOR THEIR UNTRUE.
UNLAWFUL CONDUCT ENABLE COURTS
TO WHAT INJUNCTIONS AGAINST
SPAMMERS AND ALSO ALLOW DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS AND CITY ATTORNEYS TO
ENFORCE THE STATUES.
IT IS COMMON FOR ADVERTISERS TO
SEND UNSOLICITED A COMMERCIAL
EMAILS TO CONSUMERS OFTEN THEY
WILL CONTRACT WITH SPAM. TO
DISTRIBUTE SO YOU KNOWS TO
CONSUMERS.
NOW THE SPAM NETWORKS IN TURN
CONTRACT WITH THIRD PARTIES YET
WHO ACTUALLY SENT THOSE EMAILS
OUT.
OFTEN THE SENDERS WHO YOU SMITH
IS DESIGNED TO CIRCUMVENT THOUGH
THE SPAM FILTERS OR MISLEAD TO
CONSUMERS UNDER EXISTING LAW
ADVERTISERS ARE STRICTLY LIABLE
FOR FALSE AND DECEPTIVE SPAM
HOWEVER.
THE ACTUAL CENTERS OF THE EMAILS
ARE NOT LIABLE FOR SENDING THE
E. -- DIS
UNLAWFUL SPAMS PAR ON THE
CURRENT LAW THIS BILL TWENTY
FIVE FORTY SIX WAS STRENGTHENED
CALIFORNIA'S SUPPORT MISSIONS ON

SANDERS.
LIABLE FOR FALSE AND DECEPTIVE

CAN THREE AUTHORIZING THE COURTS

FINALLY ALLOWING THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY AND ALSO THE CITY
ATTORNEYS TO BRING ACTIONS
AGAINST CAESAR.
SPAMMERS WITHOUT I RESPECTFULLY
ASK WHO AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU ANY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT SO THIS IN OPPOSITION.
THIS IS IS LATE OPPOSITION MY
RECORD REFLECTS THAT THERE WAS
NO OPPOSITION.
BY CHAIRMAN OUR OPPOSITION'S
REFLECTED ANALYSIS [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
SARS DIVERSITY FOR THE INTERNET
BUSINESS COALITION. OH I'M SORRY
I'M IN THE WRONG PEOPLE.
ALRIGHT NO WONDER I WAS READING
THE WRONG INFORMATION OKAY.
THIS IS FILE ITEM THIRTY NINE MY
MY APOLOGIES.
THINK ABOUT IT CHAIR I HAVE TO
EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO THE
COMMITTEE THAT IT IS GIVEN A
COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS TO THIS
BILL AND WE'VE BEEN.
GRAY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT AND
FOR THAT REASON IT PRETTY MUCH
KNOCKS OUT TWO THIRDS OF MY
TESTIMONY I THINK CAN DO THIS
IN UNDER A MINUTE --
HEALTHY --
AS ON PAGE ELEVEN START WITH
SECTION FOR THE ANALYSIS POINTS
OUT IT SAYS WHAT WE'VE BEEN
TRYING TO ARGUE ALL ALONG THAT.
THIS IS A RAPID THIS IS A HUGE
EXPANSION OF THE ANTI SPAM LAW
EXPANDS INTO THE AREA OF SPEECH.
IT MAY SEEM SUBTLE THE SAY OF
FALSITY STRICT LIABILITY TO THE
HEADER WHAT'S APPLY TO THE
SUBJECT LINE AND BODY.
TO WAIT A MINUTE THAT SPEECH IN
THE SUBJECT LINE AND THE BODY
AND IF YOU EXTEND THOSE EXCEPT
THOSE PROVISIONS TO THE SUBJECT
LINE AND BODY YOU ARE REGULATING
SPEECH.
NOT HOW AN EMAIL WAS ROUTED.
THAT CURRENT SECTIONAL LAW IS
ABOUT HOW AN EMAIL IS ROUTED NOT
WHAT THE EMAIL ITSELF SAYS.
SO STRICT LIABILITY IS PERFECTLY
APPROPRIATE IN THAT BUT TO TAKE
STRICT LIABILITY AND APPLY IT TO
SPEECH IS A RADICAL DEPARTURE
FROM CURRENT LAW.
AND SO ARE ONE REMAINING ASK.
IS TO PRESERVE IF YOU'RE GONNA
GO THE INTO SPEECH FIRST CYBER
ARGUE THAT THIS IS NOT NECESSARY
TO REGULATE SPAM.
DON'T REGULATE SPEECH STRIKE
THIS FROM THE BILL.
IF THAT'S TOO MUCH FOR THE
COMMITTEE IN THE ALTERNATIVE
PLEASE PRESERVE EXISTING
SECTIONS OF LAW THAT HAVE BEEN
ON THE BOOKS FOR ALMOST EIGHTY
YEARS.
THAT REAGAN THAT FRAUDULENT.
BUSINESS PRACTICES AND FALSE
ADVERTISING.
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE.
SEVENTEEN AND SEVENTEEN FIVE
HUNDRED HAVE BEEN ON THE BOOKS
SINCE.
NINETEEN FORTY ONE ABOUT
200-071-7500 WHICH SPECIFICALLY
REGULATES FALSE ADVERTISING WAS
AMENDED TO SPECIFICALLY COVER
ADVERTISING ON THE INTERNET.
IN TWO THOUSAND FOR THE VOTERS
BY INITIATIVE.
STRICT DID SEVENTEEN TWO HUNDRED
AND WHETHER HOW YOU HAVE TO SHOW
ACTUAL HARM THAT WAS BY
INITIATIVE MEMBERS.
THAT WAS DURING A NOVEMBER
BALLOT IT WAS PASSED BY 60% OF
THE ELECTORATE [inaudible]
BY JUST.
ST OVER EXTEND THIS TO THE BODY
YOUR UNDERCUTTING BOTH OF THOSE
LAWS.
SO ARE ONE REQUEST IS THAT WE
WILL CLARIFY THIS TO SAY THAT
THE EXISTING PROVISIONS OF LAW
OF GENERAL APPLICABILITY.
THESE THESE LAWS ARE PACIFIC TO
SPAM IS JUST GENERAL LAW ON
BROUGHT TO A BUSINESS PRACTICES
AND FALSE ADVERTISING IF WE
COULD CLARIFY THAT AMENDED TO
SAY THAT THOSE TWO PROVISIONS.
ARE STILL APPLICABLE OUR APPLY
TO COMMERCIAL EMAIL DESPITE THE
SECTION WE WOULD IN FACT REMOVER
OPPOSITION.

THAT REQUIRED THE EQUAL
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OFFICER
IN EACH STATE AGENCY.
AND DEPARTMENT TO REPORT THE
NUMBER OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
COMPLAINTS.

WE MUST ELIMINATE ALL FORMS OF
DISCRIMINATION AND ESPECIALLY
SEXUAL HARASSMENT BECAUSE PEOPLE
SHOULD FEEL SAFE IN THEIR

PROPOSAL WITH THE MAJOR INITIAL
OPPOSITION NOW SHIFTING TO
SUPPORT COMING OUT OF THE SENATE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE WE WERE
CHARGED AS THE CHAIRMAN SAID
WITH DEFINING --
AND THE PITY MANAGING A CHARTER
SCHOOL --
AND WE CAME TO CONSENSUS THAT
THERE ARE MANY WAYS FOR THIS TO
OCCUR FOR EXAMPLE ENTITY
MANAGING A CHARTER SCHOOL CAN
PUT PEOPLE ON AND TAKE PEOPLE
OFF THE GOVERNING BOARD AS WELL
AS THE CEO.
IF THIS ENTITY CAN CHANGE THE BY
LAWS OR OVERRULE DECISIONS OF
THE BOARD THEN THEY'RE MANAGING.

POLICIES OF THE SCHOOL I KNOW

MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS WE ARE
TAUGHT UNDER LARA STRAND FLOORS
WITH THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION WERE
TECHNICALLY IN SUPPORT BUT WE
HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THESE
AMENDMENTS TO DEPEND NEGOTIATED.
WE WERE NOT PARTY TO THOSE
NEGOTIATIONS AND FOR LAWYER SAW
THESE THIS MORNING AND THOUGHT
THAT THERE'S ONE IN PARTICULAR
THAT SAY OF DEEP CONCERN TO US
NEXT.
E. HUSTLE LAST AMENDMENT THAT'S
ON THE DRAFT THAT YOU HAVE TODAY.
HAD ESSENTIALLY--
PICKETT'S CHARGE.
TRY TO KEEP THE THE THE THE DOOR
CLOSED OR THE NOISE DOWN OUTSIDE
STATE VERY HARD TO HEAR.
OKAY WE LOOK AT THAT ACCORDING
TO OUR LAWYER WE LOOK AT THAT
PROVISION IS ALLOWING CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN MANAGEMENT ENTITIES
TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY
PROTECTION AGAINST LEGAL CLAIMS.
AND ACTIONS IT GIVES A LIABILITY
PROTECTION TO COMPANIES MANAGING
CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT
ACTUALLY PUBLIC ENTITIES AT ALL.
PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE THIS
PROTECTION BUT THEY'RE ALSO
GOVERNED BY THE AD CODE AND
SECTIONS OF THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY LAWS.
CHARTERS ARE NOT BOUND BY THE
SAME LAWS AND NEITHER ARE THESE
MANAGEMENT ENTITIES THE
AMENDMENTS ESSENTIALLY SHORTENS
THE MULTI YEAR STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS.
JUST TO SIX MONTHS IN THE YEAR
ACCORDING TO OUR LAWYER IT
ESTABLISHES SEVERAL LARGE
IMMUNITIES FROM.
NORMAL LAWSUITS FACED BY PRIVATE
ENTITIES SUCH AS DISCRETIONARY
DECISION IMMUNITY WE'VE REACHED
OUT TO THE AUTHOR WE'VE TALKED
TO HIM ABOUT THIS AND OTHER
CONCERNS WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO
TRUST THEM BUT WE WANTED TO
EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS TODAY VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE THAT WOULD THE
AUTHOR COMMIT TO TRY.
IT LOOKED THE TO LAST MINUTE FOR
DOING THIS THIS IS NOT HOW WE
USUALLY DO BUSINESS TAUGHT HOW I
LIKE TO DO IT BUT IF WE CAN MAKE
IF WE HAVE A DEAL.
WE HAVE A DEAL THESE ARE
LEGITIMATE CONCERNS ABOUT
LIABILITY ISSUES --
THAT THAT PERHAPS HAVEN'T BEEN
VETTED I'D LIKE A COMMITMENT
FROM YOU IF WE DO PASS THIS. TO
SENATE APPROPRIATIONS THAT YOU
WILL WORK WITH THE WITH THESE
FOLKS ON THAT LIABILITY QUESTION.
ABOUT WHEN THE BILL IS AN
APPROPRIATIONS.

BALANCED AND A COMMON SENSE
APPROACH TO LINE.
CHARTER SCHOOL FLEXIBILITY AS
WITH COMPLIANCE WITH OPEN
MEETINGS AND PUBLIC RECORDS.
NINETY IN THE POLITICAL REFORM
ACT WE WOULD ASK THAT.
YOU KEEP THE CURRENT AGREEMENT
INTACT THESE NEGOTIATES IS
HEADED NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN
VERY SENSITIVE.

SITE AND WE HAVE THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF CLERKS ELECTION
OFFICIALS I JUST BE ON THE
RECORD WE HAVE A SMALL --
SMALL ROLE IN THIS PROCESS TO
THE POLITICAL REFORM ACT AND
ENFORCEABILITY OF THE FORM SEVEN
HUNDRED CONFLICT OF INTEREST
CODE SO.
MOVING FOR ME LOVE IS THE
LANGUAGE THROUGH IT LOOKS LIKE
TO MAKE SURE WE CAN ENFORCE IT

MADAM CHAIR BELIEVES HE WILL
THAT VOICE A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION --
DID ADVOCATES FOR EQUITABLE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL KIDS AND
ESPECIALLY CONSIDER DISADVANTAGE
IN MAKING SURE THAT THEY GET.
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO QUALITY
PUBLIC SCHOOLS ITEM.
BECAUSE THE THE NATURE OF THE
FINES FOR THEM FIGURE TO COMPLY
OR SERIOUS INCLUDING.
A PERSONAL FINES AS WELL AS
FELONIES IN TIME STATE PRISON.
AND SO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR
THE RECORD TO DESCRIBEWHAT THE
AMENDMENTS ACTUALLY ARE.
WE THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF THE
DAY HAVE LEARNED.
THAT THERE ARE.
MISUNDERSTANDINGS AMONG.
AND GROUP'S AS TO WHETHER OR NOT
HE PROVISIONS.
THERE.
PROMOTE DONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE CERTAIN KINDS OF
ENGAGEMENTS BETWEEN.
OF BOARD MEMBERS IN SCHOOLS A IN
SOME CASES ARE BEING DESCRIBED
IS.
EXCLUSIVELY FOR FISCAL
CONSIDERATIONS IN AN EMERGENCY.
IN OTHER CASES PEOPLE ARE SAYING
NO AGREEMENT DOES NOT HAVE THAT
AT ALL.
FITTED ALLOWS FOR TRANSACTION
[inaudible]
AND CEFIC RULES FOR RECUSAL.
BUT NOT EXCLUSIVELY LIMITING IT.
TO I'M FISCAL ONCE FISCAL
EMERGENCY.
THE REASON AGAIN WHY THAT'S
TROUBLING.
INTERN TO SORTING THAT OUT IS
BECAUSE UNDER CURRENT LAW IS
YOUR NOW SAYS POINTS OUT IN.
TEN NINETY TEN NINETY POINT FIVE
THERE ARE A TOTAL OF THIRTY ONE
SPECIAL INTERESTS CAR BALLOTS.
FOR REFUSAL INCLUDING WHEN.
LANDLORDS IN PRIVATE AND
NONPROFIT AGENCIES CAN ENGAGE
WITH PUBLIC ENTITIES INCLUDING
FOR EXAMPLE FOR PART SEVEN
LANDED IN THE PUBLIC TRUST FOR
CONSERVATION FOR PARKS.
AND FOR SECTION EIGHT HOUSING WE
BELIEVE THIS IS.
SOUND ASLEEP SPIRITUALLY ACCUSED
OF OF A CONCERN IN THE ISSUE OF
CHARITABLE GIVING. TO A CHARTER
SCHOOL.
WHEN IT'S IN HIGH POVERTY
COMMUNITIES IT'S THE?
SAME ISSUES AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
ACROSS THE BOARD HE MAY BE IN A
VERY HIGH POVERTY ZIP CODE BUT
DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO FACILITIES
OR HOUSING.
AND THE NATURE OF THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WERE.
THE DEAD IN THIS SCRIBED IN THE
BILL ANALYSIS.
AND TALK ABOUT THINGS ARE
CONFLATED WITH THE AFFORDABLE
[inaudible]
THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL RATE
[inaudible]
LEASES.
A HAND CONTRACTS.
TAX INCIDENCES AND TAX
LIABILITIES AND TAX LOSSES ARE
COMPLETED MULTIPLE TIMES.
PRODUCER AND WE BUT WE BELIEVE
IT'S HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO GET
THIS SORTED OUT AT THIS POINT WE
REMAIN OPPOSED BECAUSE OF THOSE
CONSIDERATIONS THANK YOU THANK
YOU VERY MUCH ALRIGHT.
I THOUGHT WE HEADED DEAL --
WE HAVE THE DOCUMENTS IN FRONT
OF US I WOULD LIKE TO GET A
COMMITMET FROM YOU THAT IF WE
PASS THIS.
YOU WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THOSE WHO ARE.
OF CONCERN IN OPPOSED ABOUT TO
TRY.
TO MAKE THAT DEAL HAPPEN THAT'S
WHY WE'RE HERE THIS EARLIER
HOURS I THOUGHT DEMANDS HAD BEEN
AGREED UPON.
THIS IS A VERY STICKY WICKET MY
GOODNESS I THINK THAT THE ARABS
AND THE ISRAELIS WE FIND A WAY
TO MAKE PEACE BEFORE WE GET
THESE.
SO THE PUBLIC AND CHARTER
SCHOOLS TOGETHER BUT IF YOU
WOULD JUST MAKE THAT COMMITMENT
TO CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS WE
WILL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO PULL
IT BACK IF THIS IS NOT AN
AGREEMENT THAT HAS THE SUPPORT
OF ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPS.
BOB I DO BELIEVE THE TESTIMONY
BY THE FELLOW WHO JUST TESTIFIED

HIS FAULT HE HASN'T LOOKED AT
THE AMENDMENT SO.

AND RECENT YEARS 45% OF ALL NEW
BUSINESSES FOR FOUNDED BY
IMMIGRANTS BUT VIRTUALLY ABOUT
HALF OF ALL CITIES IN OUR STATE.
REQUIRED APPLICANT FOR BUSINESS
LICENSE TO PROVIDE A SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER.
THIS HAS BEEN A BARRIER TO MANY
CALIFORNIANS SEEKING ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY THREE BUSINESS
OWNERSHIP.
THIS BILL BUILDS ON PREVIOUS
STATE LAWS THAT ALLOW APPLICANTS
FOR PROFESSIONAL LICENSES TO
PROVIDE A FEDERAL ID NUMBER.
THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH FEDERAL
LAW WHICH TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL
AND COMMERCIAL LICENSE IS
AVAILABLE TO IMMIGRANTS
REGARDLESS OF STATUS.
THE BILL ALSO PROTECTS NUMBERS

MONNING AUTHORED THE FIRST
LEGISLATION THAT.
APPLY TO RENTAL CAR COMPANIES
WITH FEDERAL LEGISLATION NAME
FOR RACHEL AND JACQUELINE HOUK
WHO WERE KILLED BY ON REPAIRED
RECALL RENTAL CAR.
AND WE WOULD NOTE THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL LISTED IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL IS ALEXANDER BRING MEN
WHOSE DAUGHTER JEWEL WAS KILLED
BY AN ON REPAIRED RECALL RENTAL
CAR.
THIS BILL.
IS DRAFTED VERY CAREFULLY TO
APPLY TO A DIFFERENT BUSINESS
MODEL OF THE RIGHT SHARING.
COMPANIES AND WE APPRECIATE THAT
THEY HAVE THE FORESIGHT NOT TO
WAIT UNTIL THEIR TRAGEDIES.
BOMBS TO BE PRO ACTIVE AND SET A
STANDARD THIS ACTUALLY MORE
STRINGENT THAN THEIR RENTAL CAR
COMPANIES HAVE TO MEET.
IN THAT FITS THEIR BUSINESS
MODEL PRINTS AND THEY DON'T
RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE.
SO UNLIKE THE RENTAL CAR
COMPANIES THEY DON'T HAVE A
FORTY EIGHT HOUR WINDOW FOR
REMOVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE
PLATFORM.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO MONITOR
THE VINCE IN REAL TIME.
AND FOR A LOT OF CONSUMERS WHO
ARE GOOD IS OF ME THE FIRST TIME
THEY FIND OUT THAT THEIR CARS
UNDER SAFETY RECALL.
BECAUSEWHAT TIMES IT OR GET THE
RECALL NOTICE SPECIALLY IF
THEY'RE NOT THE FIRST OWNER.
WAS GOING TO HELP PROTECT THEM
WHEN THEY FIND OUT THEIR CARS
UNDER RECALL THEY NEED TO GO TO
THE DEALER GET IT FIXED.
AND ALSO HELP CONSUMERS WHO WANT
TO SHARE THOSE PRO THOSE
VEHICLES SO WE WE SPECTRALLY US
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS YOU KNOW
AN ISSUE NEAR AND DEAR TO MY
HEART SO THANK YOU.
NEXT WITNESS MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
AIR ANYMORE REPRESENTING TURA
WHICH IS A PERSONAL VEHICLE
SHARING COMPANY.
NAM WHILE THIS DOES CREATE A NEW
OBLIGATION BECAUSE WE DON'T
PHONE A FLEET --
WEEK MS CORBIN --
WAS THAT IT WAS VERY --
IN CONVINCING US TO TAKE THE
ISSUE ON AND SO WE ARE HERE TO
DO THAT APPRECIATE IT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS THAT BROKE
OUT HERE ON BEHALF OF GET AROUND
ECHO THIS NAMELESS COMMENTS HERE
IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU FATHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT MADAM CHAIR LAURA
BENNETT WITH TECHNO AND SUPPORT.
MAKE YOU.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION IN
OPPOSITION GUESSING.
VERY MUCH SO MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS VERY BROAD IN BEHALF OF
THE TEAMSTERS AND I THINK THE
ANALYSIS FOR POINTING OUT THIS
ISSUE WE OPPOSE THIS BILL UNLESS
IT'S AMENDED BECAUSE I THINK YOU
NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
ACTUALLY GOING ON THIS BILL
STARTED OUT.
AS A BILL THAT BASICALLY SAID.
THESE PERSONAL VEHICLE SHARING
PROGRAMS ARE NEVER RENTAL CAR
COMPANIES.
RENTAL CAR COMPANIES AND WE
REPRESENT WORKERS IN THE RENTAL
CAR INDUSTRY AND SO THIS IS KIND
OF A NEW THE AIRBNB OF THE
RENTAL CAR.
INDUSTRY MODEL.
A A YEAR AGO THE SPONSOR OF THIS
BILL WAS A RENTAL CAR COMPANY AT
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT.
BEER THE STOPPED PAYING ON THE
FEES OF TAXES EVERYTHING AND
SAID WE'RE NO LONGER THAT WERE
AN APP COMPANY.
AS A RENTAL CAR COMPANY.
THEY WOULD BE COVERED BY THIS
RECALL THING AND A HOST OF OTHER
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. FOR
EXAMPLE HAVING TO MAINTAIN THE
VEHICLE WHICH CAUSES ME MORE
ACCIDENTS VAN RECALL.
PROBLEMS POORLY MAINTAINED
VEHICLES AND THERE'S BEEN THIS
IS LIKE PEOPLE START THEIR OWN
PRIVATE FLEET SOMETIMES WITH
HUNDREDS OF CARS THAT ARE
RENTING THROUGH THESE TAPS.
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE
COVERED BY THE RULES THAT COVER
RENTAL CAR COMPANIES.
WE HAD ASKED FOR AND THOUGHT WE
HAD ACHIEVED IN THE ASSEMBLY.
BUT AMENDMENT THAT SIMPLY SAID
THIS BILL WILL NOT DETERMINE ONE
WAY OR ANOTHER WHETHER THESE
PERSONAL VEHICLE SHARING.
PROGRAMS ARE IN FACT RENTAL CAR
COMPANIES THE UNDERLYING STATUTE
ACTUALLY SAYS THAT IF THEY ARE
THEY CAN'T BE.
OPERATED FOR PROFIT.
UPON YOU NONE THE LESS THESE
COMPANIES THAT ARE CLEARLY FOR
PROFIT COMPANIES THAT DESCRIBE
THEMSELVES.
IN THEIR TO THE PUBLIC AS ONE A
RENTAL CAR RENTAL CAR CHEAP OR
WHATEVER IT IS IT'S UPDATES THE
RENTAL CAR BUSINESS.
SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS BILL ISSUE
TRYING TO SHOEHORN THIS MODEL TO
GET OUT FROM ALL THE OTHER
REGULATIONS.
AND ACCEPTING THIS AS A KIND OF
COVER.
AND SO WE WOULD ASK THAT THE
COMMITTEE.
INSIST THAT THE AMENDMENT SIMPLY
SAY THAT THIS BILL IS NOT
DETERMINATIVE OF WHETHER THE
ENTITY HERE IS A RENTAL CAR
COMPANY OR NOT.
I'M WITHOUT THAT AND THEN WE
HAVE TO REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE
BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
SARAH FLOCKS CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION WE ARE IN THE SAME
POSITION AS THE TEAMSTERS --
WE CREASY EIGHT THAT CONCERN FOR
CONSUMER SAFETY BUT WE SHARE THE
CONCERN THAT THIS IS TRYING TO
DO A CARD OUT FROM EXISTING
REGULATIONS FOR A COMPANY JUST
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN THE NEW
ECONOMY OR HALF BASE.
AND WE SAW THIS WITH COMPANIES
WHO ARE ABLE TO DEFINE
THEMSELVES AS TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK COMPANIES ARE SOMEHOW
DIFFERENT.
THAN TAXIS AND GET OUT OF THE
LOCAL REGULATIONS --
DOT TAXIS ARE SUBJECT TO AND
HAVE THEMSELVES IN A IN A
DIFFERENT POSITION OF BEING
REGULATED WHICH CREATES AN
UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD AND ALLOWS
THEM TO HAVE MORE OF AN
ADVANTAGE IN COMPETING.
AGAINST OTHER INDUSTRIES THAT
ARE MORE REGULATED BUT DOING THE
SAME SERVICE SO WE WORRY THAT
THIS MAY BE GOING DOWN AND THE
SAME ROAD AND WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE THE AMENDMENT THAT MISTER
BROUGHT SPOKE ABOUT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION [inaudible]
STORAGE.
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS I DO
HAVE A QUESTION.
MY UNDERSTAND MY FOCUS ON I
THINK PERHAPS WITH THE BIL WAS
FRAMED.
IS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.
WHATEVER THIS BUSINESS MODEL IS --
AND THAT IT WILL --
ABIDE BY THESE RULES AND
REGULATIONS REGARDING RECALLED
CARS AND THAT WE WERE NOT IN ANY
WAY AND TRYING TO GET INTO THE
DEFINITION.
OF WHETHER YOU ARE A RENTAL CAR
WHETHER THESE ARE RENTAL CARS
ARE NOT SO.
WOULD YOU RESPONSE THAT INDICATE
IF YOU'D BE WILLING TO TAKE AN
AMENDMENT THAT CLARIFIES THAT
THE FOCUS IS.
IT IS THE THE RECALL AND NOT.
TRYING TO GET SOME KIND OF
DEFINITION OF THE NATURE OF THE
BUSINESS.
AS COMPARED.
TO THE RENTAL CAR INDUSTRY WHICH
WAS THE CONCERN EXPRESSED I
THINK BY MISTER BRYDEN I I I
THINK IT'S A VALID CONCERN.
YES SO THEY CAN MADAM CHAIR AS
YOU HAVE PRESENTED TO OF BEFORE
YOU AND WITH THE CAN NOW SAYS
THAT THAT IS NOT THE AREA THAT
WE'RE GETTING IN THE TERMS OF
THE DEFINITION THIS IS SIMPLY.
OBJECTING THESE PERSONAL HUGO
SHARING PROGRAMS UNDER THE
SAFETY RECALLS A SHOULD THIS
BILL NOT PASSED THESE VEHICLES
WILL NOT BE SUBJECTED TO THE
SAME TYPE OF PROTECTION IN PLACE.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S BEEN
NARROWLY TAILORED TO FOCUS ON
HOUSE WHEN I GET INTO THE
BUSINESS OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT
YOU PREVIOUSLY HEARD WHEN
TESTIMONY OF TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK COMPANIES IN THE PC
VERSUS LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES.
AND JOIN POWERS.
WITH RESPECT TO TAXICABS THAT'S
NOT WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
WE'RE JUST IN THE TALK ABOUT.
CONSUMER PROTECTION CHEMICALS
WITH THAT IN MIND WOULD YOU
ACCEPT AN AMENDMENT TO THAT
CLARIFIES THAT --
CURRENTLY --
WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BILL MOVE
FORWARD AND TO HAPPEN ALWAYS
CONSISTENTLY EXISTING OPEN TO
THOSE ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS
[inaudible]
AND MADAM CHAIR.
GO GO AHEAD DIDN'T FINISH I
COULD TO THE BILL WAS AMENDED IN
PRIVACY TO SAY THE CHANGES IN
THE SECTION MADE BY THE ACT.
UNTIL NOT APPLYING ANY MANNER TO
PENDING LITIGATION.
WHICH I WOULD HOPE WOULD ADDRESS
ON THE CONCERNS IT'S BARS WHERE
CONCERN.
YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T DEFINE.
WHAT THEY ARE WHAT IT DOES IS
SAY VOTE FOR THIS PARTICULAR
BUSINESS MODEL THAT WAS CREATED
UNDER A BILL I BELIEVE IT WAS
AUTHORED BY DAVE JONES REGARDING
INSURANCE --
THAT.
THEY FOR THEIR BUSINESS MODEL
THEY HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
THOSE CARS DON'T HAVE SAFETY
RECALLS.
AND UNLIKE THE FEDERAL
LEGISLATION THAT PER APPLIES TO
RENTAL CAR COMPANIES.
AND THOSE STATE LEGISLATION
APPLIES TO RENTAL CAR COMPANIES
THIS BILL DOES NOT ALLOW THEM.
TO SHARE VEHICLE TO THEIR
PLATFORM IF THERE IS ONLY AN
INTERIM REPAIR WE WERE
COMFORTABLE WITH THAT BECAUSE
THEY DON'T OVERSEE THE REPAIRS
ON LIKE RENTAL CAR COMPANIES
THEY DON'T.
BUT WHEN THE CARS SO THEY
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO KNOW FOR
INSTANCE IF SOMEONE REMOVES THE
FLOOR MATS FLOOR.
TOYOTA SAID WITH A SUDDEN
ACCELERATION DEFECT IF YOU
REMOVE THE FLOOR MATS.
PENDING A FINAL REPAIR.
AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT.
AND THE RENTAL CAR COMPANIES
UNDER FEDERAL LAW ALLOWED TO DO
THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT ALLOW
THEM TO DO THAT THEY HAVE TO
WAIT AND SEE RIGHT SHARING
ENTITIES FOR THE FINAL REPAIR
BEFORE THERE'LL BE ALLOWED TO
SHARE THEIR VEHICLES ON THEIR
PLATFORM.
NOT SURE HAVE AN ANSWER TO MY
QUESTION SENATOR MONNING.
AND AGAIN I THINK A LOT OF YEAR
CLARIFICATION GOES TO THE SAFETY
OBJECTIVE BUT I THINK THE I HAVE
THE SAME QUESTION IS THE CHAIR.
YOU CITED.
LANGUAGE THAT SUGGESTS IT WON'T
INFLUENCE ANY PENDING LITIGATION.
IF THIS IS FOCUSED ON SAFETY.
WHY WOULD YOU OBJECT? TO JUST
BEING EXPLICIT THAT NOTHING IN
THIS SHOULD BE CONSTRUED TO
AFFECT THE DETERMINATION OF
WHETHER OR NOT A COMPANY IS A
RENTAL CAR COMPANY.
IT'S STILL PRESERVES THE SAFETY
OBJECTIVES TENANTS HE REMAINS
AGNOSTIC ON THAT QUESTION BUT IT
MAKES AN EXPLICIT.
THAT SOMEBODY CAN'T TAKE YOUR
BILL SHOULD WE MAKE A LAW.
AND TRY TO INTERPRET IT.
S. OFFERING THE CLASSIFICATION.
LET'S LET THE COURTS DO THAT
LET'S LET OTHER LEGISLATION DO
THAT.
I THINK THE GOAL WITH THIS
REQUEST FROM THE COMMITTEE.
IS TO REMOVE ANY.
GRAY AREA ON THAT QUESTION.
KEEP IT FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY.
I WOULD BE WILLING TO SUPPORT
THE BILL WITH THAT COMMITMENT.
AS WITH THE CHAIR --
THAT IS THE CENTER WIECKOWSKI.
SO AYE ANTIQUITIES XIN ABOUT YOU
KNOW FOR FOCUSING ON SAFETY AND
THESE RECALL.
AUTOMOBILES WE HAVE LIFT AND
UBER AND THEY DON'T OWN THESE
VEHICLES EITHER THEY HAVE THEY
HAVE AN APP AND I'VE GOT MY TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN COROLLA AND WE
KNOW FAMOUS PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT
THAT THAT'S ON THE RECALL LESS.
WIND WOULD WE NOT WANT TO HAVE
THOSE PEOPLE GIVE NOTICE TO
THOSE FOLKS TO SAY YOU CAN'T.
USE THE SERVICE YOU CAN PICK IT
UP BECAUSE THEY'RE ON THE RECALL
LIST IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S AN
OPPORTUNITY HERE AND I'VE
[inaudible]
JUST ASK.
HE CAME TO ME SO MUCH
SUBCOMMITTEE ALRIGHT.
YES ABOUT MY MEDICARE AS THE
THAT THERE'S A DISTINCTION
BETWEEN HIS PERSONAL AND TRUST
THAT YOU NEVER COME GET SO THEY
THIS IS THESE ARE SEPARATE.
A CONVERSATIONS AND THAT IS WITH
THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
COMPANIES THAT IS THAT OF THE
DRIVER THAT IS THEIR OWN
PERSONAL VEHICLE TO WHICH THE
CUSTOMER GETS IN THAT VEHICLE
WEARS THESE PERSONAL --
SHARING PROGRAMS YOU ARE
ACTUALLY GETTING INTO THE
VEHICLE AND DRIVING YOURSELF TO
THAT IS THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
THE TWO SO THIS DOES NOT A CAP
TO LATE ON THE TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK COMPANIES.
I THINK THE QUESTION IS IS THAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE THE ONE
TO GET THESE UNSAFE CARS OFF THE
ROAD SO THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY
HERE TO GIVE THAT NOTICE TO THEM
AND SAY HE OF WE DON'T OWN IT
BUT BUT YOU'VE GOT.
TO THE WHITE IN THEY IT COMES UP
BUT THE THE GUYS IN THE WHITE
TOYOTA THIS YEAR HE KNOW THEY'RE
ON THAT LIST.
WHAT IF WE'RE REALLY HERE FOR
SAFETY WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT TO
DO THAT YOU WERE MAKING AS A
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THESE
WHETHER THEY'RE A TNC OR A
RENTAL CAR OR THIS OTHER NEW
PLATFORM BUT?
BUT THE IDEA IS THAT.
TO GIVE THEM NOTICE THAT THAT
WAS MY QUESTION I GET THE
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE
ORGANIZATIONS BUT IT APPEARS OF
LEISURE TESTIMONIES THAT MY GOAL
IS TO GET.
THESE RECALL NOT HAVE PEOPLE GET
IN THESE RECALL DUH --
CARS THAT ARE DOING BUSINESS.
IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S AN EASY
THING TO DO.
TREATMENT MANAGER MIGHT WANT AT
LEAST IF YOU COULD RESPOND TO
BOTH UNDER GREAT.
SENATOR UP IF I CAN OFFER SOME
CLARIFICATION --
IN THIS BILL WE ARE ONLY TRYING
TO TO THE SPONSOR OF THE
ORIGINAL SPONSOR TORO WAS ONLY
TRYING -- TO
TO INCLUDE THE DEFINITION OF
PERSONAL VEHICLE SHARING
PROGRAMS AND NOT EXTEND TO OTHER
PROGRAMS AS THEY HAVE.
THE DEFINITION UNDER CURRENT LAW
AS YOU PROBABLY SAW ON THE
ANALYSIS.
THAT DEFINITION HAS BEEN AROUND
SINCE --
TWENTY TEN AND IT PROVIDES VERY
EXPLICIT --
LIABILITY WHICH INCLUDES
VICARIOUS LIABILITY.
UP REQUIREMENTS FOR PERSONAL
VEHICLE SHARING PROGRAMS THAT --
REQUIRE THOSE PROGRAMS TO COVER
EVEN THE VICARIOUS LIABILITY OF
THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AS WELL
AS MINIMUM INSURANCE FOR THE
DRIVER.
THAT WAS AN AGREEMENT --
THAT WAS STRUCK IN IN TWENTY TWO
SING -- THAT
THESE --
VEHICLE SHARING PROGRAMS WHICH
INCLUDE CITY PROGRAMS.
DON'T ACTUALLY OWN THE FLEET.
AND THAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO
BOTH INSULATE THE INSURANCE
PRODUCT PROBABLY --
AND ALSO TO PROTECT BOTH PARTIES
IN THE TRANSACTION --
SO WITH REGARD TO THE SCOPE OF
THE BILL ARE I THINK THAT'S
THAT'S WHY THE OBLIGATION OF THE
PERSONAL VEHICLE SHARING
PROGRAMS HAVE.
ACCEPTED WILLINGLY ACCEPTED --
AS THE SPONSORS OF THE BILL NOT
IS BECAUSE THEY'RE ALREADY
COMFORTABLE --
YOU KNOW --
ASSUMING THAT THAT LEVEL OF
LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY IT
BUT I JUST.
AND I IN I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE
TRYING.
TO EXPAND THAT.
I I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS STAY
WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT.
SIMPLY CONFIRM THAT NOTHING IN
THIS BILL.
IN ANY WAY TRIES TO DEAL WITH
THE ISSUES THAT APPARENTLY ARE
OTHERWISE IT IN PLAY.
pTO SAY SEE WHERE A DIFFERENT
TYPE OF COMPANY.
IF WE'RE HERE TO TRY AND I
APPRECIATE THE FACT YOU WILLING
TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND GET
THOSE.
RECALLED CARS OFF THE ROAD FOR
THE SAFETY THE PEOPLE DRIVING
THEM.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILLS ALL
SHOULD BE ALL BUT THAT'S THE
SUGGESTION THAT IT THERE'S
SOMETHING MORE TO THIS I THINK
IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN PRODUCT
BUT WE'RE NOT HERE TO GET IN THE
MIDDLE OF THAT BATTLE RIGHT NOW
CERTAINLY THAT'S NOT THE BILL.
SO IF THE IF YOU WOULD CLARIFY
THAT.
THAT THERE'S NOTHING IT IN THIS
BILL THAT COULD BE IT SHOULD BE
CONSTRUED IN ANY WAY TO
DETERMINE OR TO FIND EX Y. NC.
WHICH IS TALKING ABOUT THE
RECALL ASPECTS THAT'S I THINK
WHAT WERE WERE ASKING.
FOR IT MADAM CHAIR I JUST
SPEAKING --
FOR THE ORIGINAL SPOT.
NO CONCERNS ABOUT.
NOT MAKING IT CLEAR THAT --
THAT THE BILL --
DOESN'T APPLY TO ANY --
INTERPRETATION THAT A PARTICULAR
COMPANY --
IT IS NOT A RENTAL CAR COMPANY
OR YOU KNOW IT'S A PERSONAL
VEHICLE SHARING PROGRAM THE
LANGUAGE IS VERY --
IT'S VERY NEUTRAL IN THAT REGARD
HOWEVER WE WOULD JUST --
SUGGESTED THAT.
AS THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT THERE
IS A MODEL FOR PERSONAL VEHICLE
SHARING PROGRAMS IN STATUTE.
AND THERE IS A MODEL UMP FOR
RENTAL CARS IN STATUTE AND WE
WOULD NOT WANT PERSONAL VEHICLE
SHARING PROGRAMS IT GENERALLY.
TO AUTOMATICALLY PICK UP ALL OF
THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF
RENSSELAER ARCHITECTS NOT WHAT
WE'RE ASKING.
DECLARE ASKING IF I'M NOT
MISTAKEN WE'RE JUST ASKING THIS
IS A BILL ABOUT RECALLS.
THIS IS NOT A BILL TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE A RENTAL CAR
COMPANY OR A PERSONAL.
BUT WE CAUGHT A PERSONAL SHARING
PROGRAM.
I'M OLD I THESE ARE NEW CONCEPT
TO ME BUT I GET THIS.
MY CONCERN IS THAT IN THE
PROCESS OF PROTECTING.
THE RECALL CONCEPT WERE SUDDENLY
PUTTING A THUMB ON A DEFINITION
ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT
BEFORE US IN THIS BILL OR AT
LEAST NOT MY INTENTION THAT IT
BE BEFORE US IN THAT.
THIS BILL THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING
FOR THE CLARIFICATION I CAN'T
VOTE FOR THE BILL WITHOUT IT I
REALLY WANT TO VOTE FOR THIS
BILL BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT.
BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE
GOING ON HERE.
THAT I'M NOT AWARE OFTEN THAT
ISN'T OSTENSIBLY PART OF WHAT
THIS DISCUSSION IS I CAN'T
SUPPORT THE BILL.
MADAM CHAIR --
BUT WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE.
AT THE AMEND AMENDMENT AND THE
ANALYSIS TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IS ALSO NOT OPINING.
ON THE ADDITION OF ONE MODEL TO
THE OTHER BECAUSE I THINK THE
THING THAT WE ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT.
IS -- BY
TAKING THAT AMENDMENT ALONE
WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION
THAT NOTHING IS CONSTRUED --
BY THE YOU KNOW NOTHING IS
INTENDED TO BE CONSTRUED UP TO
INTERPRET PERSONAL VEHICLE
SHARING PROGRAMS.
AS BEING AN ADDITIONAL
OBLIGATION ON TOP OF RENTAL CAR
OR RENTAL CAR AS AN ADDITIONAL
OBLIGATION ON TOP OF PERSONAL
VEHICLE SHARING.
I THINK THAT WOULD BE CLEAR THAT
WOULD HELP NOTHING IN THIS BILL
IN ANYWAY IMPACTS ANY --
OF THE CRITERIA OR OR CLAIMS --
BY ANY.
INTO ANY.
ANY ONE OF THESE ENTITIES AS TO
WHAT IT IS OR ISN'T.
THIS HAS GOT TO BE IN THIS IS
GONNA BE IN --
AT IT IN SINGULAR --
FOCUS AND PURPOSE HE IS TO JUST
SAY THIS IS NOT. TO BE CONSTRUED
IN ANY WAY IS HAVING AN EFFECT
ON WHETHER IT'S AN X. Y. OR Z. --
WHICH JUST THAT THIS IS WHAT
THIS SELF DEFINED ENTITY IS
GOING TO DO WITH RESPECT.
TO OF THE THESE VEHICLES IGNORE
THESE RECALL VEHICLE SENATOR
MONNING AND THEN WE'LL JUST WRAP
IT UP.
THANK YOU AGAIN I I THINK WE'RE
JUST LOOKING FOR AN EXPLICIT
COMMITMENT [inaudible]
THAT.
WHAT THE BILL ISN'T?
AND THE FACT THIS RELUCTANCE TO
ADDRESS THAT.
GIVES ME CAUSE FOR CONCERN --
MAYBE THERE'S A BETTER WAY TO
WORD CRAFTED THAN IN THE
ANALYSIS BUT THIS BILL IS ABOUT.
SAFETY AND RECALLS.
WE JUST WANT SOME EXPLICIT THAT
SAYS.
IT SHALL NOT BE INTERPRETED OR
IS NOT INTENDED [inaudible] TO
OFFER.
LARA PINE OR INFLUENCE FUTURE.
LITIGATION DISCUSSIONS ETCETERA
ON CLASSIFICATIONS.
THEN MAYBE THERE'S AN EASIER WAY
TO SAY THAT BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A
SIMPLE CONCEPT BUT THERE'S
RELUCTANCE TO ACCEPT IT AND
THEREFORE ALL BE RELUCTANT TO
SUPPORT IT IF YOU CAN'T
[inaudible]
CRAFT THAT.
GREEN BASICALLY THE GREAT
RECOMMENDATION IS A STATEMENT
SAYS NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE
CONSTRUED TO AFFECT THE
DETERMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT
A COMPANY IS A RENTAL CAR
COMPANY. TWO OTHER COMPANIES ARE
IS NOT A RENTAL OR ANY OTHER
TYPE OF IT IS OR IS NOT A RENTAL
CAR COMPANIES THAT WHAT THE LET
LANGUAGE THAT THAT WAS THE
SUGGESTED LANGUAGE [inaudible]
YES.
IT'S NEUTRAL THE WORD TRUCK BUT
THAT'S ALL POINT WE WANT TO KEEP
THIS NEUTRAL WE DON'T WANT THERE
TO BE PRESUMPTIONS ON EITHER
SIDE THAT'S THE THAT'S THE WHOLE
POINT OF THIS [inaudible]
SHOULD.
SO IF YOU'LL TAKE THAT AMENDMENT.
AS A AS AN AUTHORS AMENDMENTS
WILL I THINK YES WELL THEY HAVE
THE VOTES FOR THE BILL ORDER
THAT THOUGH VERY GOOD.
YES AND IF THE I MEAN I THINK
THE LANGUAGE IS VERY SIMPLE AND
WE WANTED TO BE NEUTRAL.
THAT'S A WHOLE GOAL RIGHT AND
WITH THAT.
WITH THAT WITH THAT AMENDMENT
SENATOR MONNING MOVES THE BILL --
DO PASSED AS AMENDED.

EVENING SIR.
GOOD EVENING.
ABOUT GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I WANT TO START BY
ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDED
COMMITTEE.
MICHAEL AMENDMENT --
MEMBER'S AB TWENTY TWO THIRTY
FOUR WOULD PROVIDE STUDENTS WHO
WERE TESTIFYING IN EMPLOYEE
DISMISSAL HEARINGS THAT INVOLVED
THE GREGIS AXE WHICH SIMILAR
WITNESS PROTECTION THAT ARE
AVAILABLE. TO MINORS OTHER LEGAL
SETTINGS THIS BILL WAS SIMPLY
PROVIDE ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
JUDGES WHO TO DISCRETION TO USE
A CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION HOW
OR A VIDEOTAPE DEPOSITION AS AN
ALTERNATIVE TO AN END HEARING
TESTIMONY BY A STUDENT.
THIS BILL WOULD ALSO REQUIRE DID
A SUPPORT PERSON BE APPOINTED TO
CHILD WITNESSES TO ACCOMPANY IN
THEM THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
ALLOWING THE USE OF THESE
PROTECTION REDUCE THE RISK OF
TRAUMA THAT CAN OCCUR WHEN
VICTIMS FACED THEIR ABUSER.
AND TO ANSWER TECHNICAL

SPECIFICALLY MY ROLE IS TO
LITIGATE DISMISSAL MATTERS
CERTIFICATE UNCLASSIFIED ON
BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT THIS
INCLUDES EDUCATION CODE SECTION.
FOUR FOUR NINE THREE FOUR POINT
ONE PROCEEDINGS WHICH ARE THE
EGREGIOUS ONLY PROCEEDINGS TO
HIGHLIGHT THE AUTHOR'S COMMENT
THIS BILL SEEKS TO AFFORD LEGAL
PROTECTIONS TO MINOR WITNESSES
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY
OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING.
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE CHILD
ALLEGATIONS ARE LITIGATED IN AN
ADMINISTRATIVE COURT THEY ARE
NOT PROVIDED THESE RIGHTS.
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGES HAVE
SOME DISCRETION UNDER EXISTING
LAW TO APPLY A CERTAIN
PROTECTIONS TO MINOR WITNESSES
HOWEVER THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY.
I WOULD SUBMIT THAT THIS
INCONSISTENCY IS DUE TO LACK OF
STATUTORY GUIDELINES AVAILABLE
FOR JUDGES TO CONSIDER.
AB TWENTY TO THIRTY FOUR SIX TO

FORTY NINE AB TWENTY EIGHT
TWENTY FIVE YES MADAM CHAIR
PLEASE PROCEED.
THANK YOU I COME BEFORE YOU TO
PRESENT AB. TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY
FIVE WHICH WOULD CLOSE A
LOOPHOLE AND CURRENT LAW AND
EXTEND IMPORTANT CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS AGAINST.
SCRUPULOUS DEBT COLLECTION
PRACTICES ROSENTHAL ACT AND THE
FAIR DEBT BUYING PRACTICES BOTH
ENSURE THAT DEBT COLLECTORS ACT
IN A RESPONSIBLE AND REASONABLE.
MANNER WHEN COLLECTING DEBTS BUT
THE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN
INTERPRETED TO APPLY ONLY TO
CREDIT DEBT.
IT'S MEANS THAT THERE ARE NO
STANDARDS IN LAW WHICH DEBT
COLLECTORS MUST COMPLY WITH WHAT
COLLECTING DEBTS RELATED TO
TOWING.
PARKING TICKETS STORAGE AND
REPAIR.
THIS BILL WOULD ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE BY CREATING TWO NEW
SECTIONS AND THAT MIRRORS
EXISTING PROTECTIONS TOOK FOR
CREDIT CARD DEBT.
AND WOULD PROHIBIT DEBT
COLLECTION FROM ENGAGING IN
VARIOUS FORMS OF UNSCRUPULOUS
ACTIONS INCLUDING THE USE OR
THREAT OF PHYSICAL FORCE
DEFAMATION DE USE OF OBSCENE OR
PROFANE LANGUAGE.
A FALSE REPRESENTATION OF AN
ATTORNEY.
AND INITIATED A LEGAL PROCEEDING
BUT IT DEBT HAS EXPIRED.
AB TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY FIVE
CLOSE A LOOPHOLE IMPROVISED AT
ALL DEBT SHOUT SHOULD BE SETTLED
IN A FAIR AND TRANSPARENT MANNER
WITH ME TODAY.
IT'S MIRANDA GLENDALOUGH FROM
MILD OF THE SPONSORS OF THE BILL.
MEMBERS ARE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
GUY VOTE.
GOOD EVENING CHIANG SENATORS MY
NAME IS MADE AND THE CLEAN
THOUGH AND I AM A STAFF ATTORNEY
WITH THE MEXICAN AMERICAN LEGAL
DEFENSE AND EDUCATIONAL FUND.
SPONSORS OF AB.
TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY FIVE
LOOPHOLES IN CURRENT LAW ALLOW
EXISTING AND DEBT COLLECTORS TO
ABUSE AT ARTS WITH IMPUNITY.
WHEN THEY'RE COLLECTING UNPAID
TRAFFICKING TRAFFIC AND PARKING
TICKETS VEHICLE REPAIRS AND
TOWING AND STORAGE CHARGES?
TYPES OF THAT SPUR
DISPROPORTIONATELY OWED BY
PEOPLE OF COLOR.
DUE TO RACIAL PROFILING DURING
TRAFFIC STOPS AND OTHER SYSTEMIC
INEQUALITIES.
THIS BILL IS ALSO ABOUT
PROTECTING POOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
STILL BEING PURSUED FOR UNPAID
EXPENSES FOR A VEHICLE THAT THEY
NO LONGER OWN BECAUSE IT WAS
ALREADY SOLD TO PAY FOR UNPAID
STORAGE AND TOWING CHARGES. FOR
THE SALE PRICE WAS NOT HIGH
ENOUGH TO COVER ALL OF THOSE
CHARGES.
THIS BILL ALSO SEEKS TO ADDRESS
LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENT.
CONSUMERS AND JUSTIFIABLY
INCREASED RISK OF LOSING THEIR
VEHICLES DUE TO A LACK OF
MINIMAL MINIMAL LANGUAGE ACCESS
PROTECTIONS IN THE VEHICLE
TOWING PROCESS ITSELF. FOR
EXAMPLE MOTHERS CLIENT MR SEND
THAT'S GARCIA.
WHAT'S YOUR VEHICLE AND HER
TRAPPED IN HER RIGHT TO PROTEST
THE IMPROPER STORAGE OF THAT
TRUCK AT A STORAGE HEARING WHEN
THE COMPANY THAT FOOD THAT
VEHICLE.
ONLY DISCLOSE AN ENGLISH
LANGUAGE VERSION OF THE NOTICED
THAT EXPLAINS THE TEN DAY
DEADLINE TO EXERCISE HER RIGHT
TO A STORAGE HEARING.
AND SHE DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT
NOTICE.
NEITHER DID MISTER SEND US
GARCIA UNDERSTAND THE
NOTIFICATION OF HER RIGHTS AND
HER OBLIGATIONS IN THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE COLLECTIONS LETTER SHE
RECEIVED DEMANDING PAYMENTS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. FOR
DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT ANOTHER ALL
TOO COMMON LANGUAGE ACCESS
SITUATION BUT THIS BILL ALSO
ATTEMPTS TO ADDRESS.
IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE FOR
CALIFORNIA TO PROTECT CREDIT
CARD DEBTORS.
BUT NOT DEBTORS OF UNPAID
TRAFFIC AND PARKING TICKETS
VEHICLE IMPOUND AND AUTO REPAIR
CHARGES FROM HARASSING AND
MISLEADING DEBT COLLECTION
PRACTICES.
MEMBERS FOR THESE REASONS MOTHER

THANK THE AUTHOR IS A GREAT
STAFF AND MALTA FOR WORKING WITH

ON THE BILL THANK YOU.
VERY GOOD.
MADAM CHAIRMAN CLIPPER HERE
BEING FOR THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF COLLECTORS I FIND
MYSELF ALSO.
IN A TWEENER POSITION JUST TO
EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACK
BACKGROUND.
WELL WE WORK WITH THE AUTHOR AND
HIS STAFF IN THE SPONSOR SINCE
THIS BILL WAS INTRODUCED IN
BEHALF OF THE COLLECTION
INDUSTRY WE AGREE WITH THE
CONCEPT.
THAT THE ROSENTHAL I PROTECTIONS
FOR CONSUMERS SHOULD COVER
CERTAIN TYPES OF GOVERNMENT DEBT
SUCH AS PARKING TICKETS AND
OTHER CHARGES ON DEVIL IN THE
DETAILS WE ARE STILL WORKING
WITH THEM.
WE ARE CONCERNED THE BILL
STARTED OFFICE.
INTO THE ROSENTHAL ACT WHEN IT
BECAME CLEAR THAT THAT WAS
DIFFICULT BECAUSE THE REASON
PAUL ACT IS BASED ON CONSENSUAL
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS.
MINUTE BECAME WHAT'S MIRRORED
THE ROSENTHAL LACK IN THE FAIR
DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES ACT
INDEPENDENTLY CREATED A SEPARATE
SERIES OF STATUTES WE ARE
WORKING WITH THEM BECAUSE THE
BILL IS WRITTEN CONTAINS
NUMEROUS.
CONFLICTS.
BLACK OF SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS ARE WE
WORKING WITH THEM ON THE
LANGUAGE ISSUE IN THE STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS ISSUE WE HOPE TO
RESOLVE AND WORK IT OUT BUT
WE'RE NOT THERE YET SO ARM.
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY JUST
TO MAKE THOSE POINTS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WITNESSES
ANY OTHER TRAINERS YEAH THANK
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS BROOKS ALISON HAVE TO
CALIFORNIA TOUCH UC ASSOCIATION
IN EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE
COALITION OF AMERICA.
WE WE RESPECT WHAT THE AUTHOR IS
TRYING TO DO BUT IT IT TAKES.
ROSENTHAL AND THE FEDERAL LAW
AND IT PUTS IT AT THE COUNTER.
RIGHTS ARE NOT JUST THE DEBT.
SORT OF AWAY FROM IT.
SO OUR GUYS HAVE TO WHEN IT WHEN
YOU GOT TO GET THE CAR HE YOU
YOU HAVE THIS BODY OF STATE AND
FEDERAL LAW THAT YOU'VE NOW
TURNED INTO AN IT'S VERY VERY
DETAILED.
AND THIS CAME IN ABOUT EIGHT
DAYS AGO WRITERS THIRTY PAGES OF
IT THOROUGHLY DETAIL AND SOME OF
IT IS COUNTER PRODUCTIVE.
IN OTHER WORDS SOME THINGS THAT
YOU CAN'T DO --
IF YOU WERE JUST TRADITIONALLY
COLLECTING THAT DEBT IN TERMS OF
HOW YOU COMMUNICATE WITH THE
DEBTOR. FOR INSTANCE IN THE BILL
YOU THERE'S A PART WHERE YOU
CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH SOMEBODY
OTHER THAN THE SPOUSE SO IF.
THE SON ARE RELATIVE COMES TO
HELP GET THE CAR OR COULD TO GET
THE CAR AND PICK IT UP.
YOU CAN'T TALK TO THEM
CONDUCTORS A PART OF THE BILL
THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN TALK TO THE
THE THE DEBTOR AND LET YOU GET
PERMISSION.
THEN THERE'S THERE'S A DAY OUT
ALREADY WE WE WORK WITH THE
LEGISLATURE TO DO A TOWING BILL
OF RIGHTS.
I EIGHTY FIVE NINETEEN SO THAT'S
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU GIVE
OUT NOW YOU'D HAVE TO GIVE OUT
TWO SEPARATE DOCUMENTS.
AT THE COUNTER AND SO YOU WOULD
HAVE YOU WOULD COME TO GET YOUR
CAR AND YOU GET THREE DOCUMENTS
THEY SOMEWHAT BE INCONSISTENT --
WITH EACH OTHER AND SOMEWHAT
DUPLICATIVE.
RIGHT AND SO WERE A LITTLE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE WORK ABILITY
EVEN THOUGH WE THINK THERE
SHOULD BE REASONABLE YOU KNOW
ABOUT LAWS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
COLLECT APPROPRIATELY WE'VE
WHICH ARE TO GET THAT.
THEN THERE'S THE LANGUAGE PART
OF IT SO IF YOU'RE --
LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
RIGHT THERE'S ABOUT --
ELEVEN LANGUAGES THAT YOU HAVE
TO BE CAN.
YOU HAVE TO NOTICE THAT THEY
HAVE A PROBLEM RIGHT SO WHEN THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DID THIS WHEN
WHEN PRESIDENT CLINTON SIGNED AN
ORDER.
THEY HAD ALL THEY DO HAD
STAKEHOLDERS COME TOGETHER AND
THEY DID TRAINING AND THEY SORT
OF SHOWED HOW DO YOU DO THAT AND
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO IT.
SO OUR GUYS ARE GOING TO SORT OF
GO FROM THE ARE TO GET OUT OF
THE TRUCK AND HAVE TO GO THROUGH
THAT AND THEN COMMUNICATE.
IT AND IT SAYS IN THE BILL BOTH
ORALLY.
AND IN WRITING.
UP TO ELEVEN OR PERHAPS MORE --
LANGUAGES AND SO IT MAKESIT
REALLY DIFFICULT THANK YOU
APPRECIATE IT NEXT WITNESS YES I
THANK YOU IT'S WIENER YOU OPPOSE
WHY WE WERE OPPOSED UNLESS
AMANDA YES OKAY --
A JACK MADONNA FROM BEHALF THE
AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE COUNCILS OF
CALIFORNIA THE CALIFORNIA AUTO
BODY ASSOCIATION AND THE
CALIFORNIA AUTOMOTIVE BUSINESS
COALITION WE ALSO RESPECT WITH
WHAT THE AUTHOR IS DOING.
BUT WE HAVE CONCERNS WE'VE
COMMUNICATED THESE CONCERNS TO
THE AUTHOR OF THE BILL WAS
SUBSTANTIALLY AMENDED JUST LAST
WEEK -- AND
IT TREATS AUTO REPAIR FACILITIES
AS DEBT COLLECTORS THEY'RE NOT
DEBT COLLECTORS THEY REPEAT
THEY'RE THE FOLKS THAT REPAIR
YOUR VEHICLES.
THE BILL IS COMPLICATED IT HAS
MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT --
WE'VE -- WE
AT MY FOLKS ARE STILL ANALYZING
THE BILL IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
BUT I WANT TO JUST POINT OUT TWO
THINGS HERE NUMBER ONE WITH
REGARD TO CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES
IN THAT SECTION. SEVENTEEN
EIGHTY EIGHT POINT ONE OH WAIT
OF THAT ESSENTIALLY SAYS THAT
AUTO REPAIR SHOPS --
MAY ONLY RECOVER 50% OF WHAT
THEY'RE VEHICLE MAY BE WORTH NOT
THE ACTUAL VALUE WE THINK THIS
SECTION FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES
MECHANICS LIENS LAWS AND WE
BELIEVE IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL
THE SECOND ISSUE.
IS COMMUNICATIONS WITH OUR OUR
CUSTOMERS --
VEHICLE MEANS ARE CREATED ONCE
THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED AND
READY FOR PICKUP SO --
IT COMMUNICATION REMINDERS --
TO THEIR CUSTOMERS TO PICK UP
THE VEHICLE --
MAY BE PROHIBITED UNDER THE BILL
AND SO -- IN
AND SUBJECT TO SHOPS TO
PENALTIES AND LAWSUITS WE NEED
TO COMMUNICATE WITH OUR
CUSTOMERS TO PICK UP THEIR CARS
THE SO -- WE
FEEL THAT --
THIS IS PROBLEMATIC SO SWEET
THAT NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED
ADDRESSED HERE --
AND THEN THE BILL IS INTENDED OR
AT LEAST OF THEIR SOME
EXCEPTIONS FOR AUTO REPAIR
FACILITIES THAT ARE OWNED BY NEW
CAR DEALERS WE'VE ASKED.
WE'VE WE'VE REQUESTED FROM THE
AUTHOR TO EXEMPT US AS WELL
BECAUSE THE BILL EXEMPTS UP AUTO
REPAIR FACILITIES OWNED BY NEW
CAR DEALERS WE WE WILL WORK WITH
THE AUTHOR AND TO ADDRESS OUR
CONCERNS BUT WE ARE OPPOSED LUIS
AMENDED.
THANK SOCIAL.
RIGHT SEEING NONE LET'S TAKE IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE SENATOR
STERN.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR --
WANNA GET THE AUTHOR'S RESPONSE
ON OPENNESS TO THAT KIND OF
NARROWING WE WERE JUST STAYING
IN THE LANE OF FREE POSSESSION
AND RECALL THAT KIND OF DEBT
COLLECTION.
I'M TRYING TO READ THROUGH IT
THIS IS A BIG.
IT IS BAY SPEAK --
AND AYE AYE.
BEEN BUT I UNDERSTAND A CONCERN
XIN NOT OF THOUGHT THAT EVERYONE
CONCERNED AND AS WE HOPE WE GET
OUT IS COMMITTEE WHEN WE GO TO
APPROPRIATIONS WHICH I BELIEVE
IS THE NEXT STEP --
WE'VE HAD SOME GOOD DISCUSSIONS.
SO I BELIEVE WE CAN HOPEFULLY
GET TO THAT PLACE THE MOST
IMPORTANT.
PART OF THIS BILL IS MAKING SURE
THAT.
WHATEVER SERVICES PROVIDER
WHATEVER HAPPENS A PARKING
TICKETS ARE SHOWING THAT
[inaudible]
INDIVIDUALS ART.
TREATED UNFAIRLY WHEN NAY WHEN
THEY TRY TO GET THEIR VEHICLE
BACK OR DATE ALL.
AND WHO THEY WILL BE
COMMUNICATED THEIR LANGUAGE
WHICH I THINK WE REALLY DO NEED
TO WORK THROUGH THAT.
BECAUSE JUSTIN JUST UNFAIR IN MY
DISTRICT WHERE I HAVE BOTH A LOT
OF CAR DEALERSHIPS LA FIGARO
BOULEVARD NAM FELIX.
THE CAT CHEVROLET AND ALL OF
THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE THEIR
MERCEDES BUT ALSO HAVE A LOT OF
DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE KINDA
MONOPOD DEALERSHIPS WITHIN.
THE SOUTH LOS ANGELES WHERE
THEY'RE NOT SO GOOD.
AND WHETHER THAT'S REPAIR SHOPS
WHAT OTHERS DID NUMBER OF
INCIDENTS WHERE WERE.
PEOPLE MINORITIES AND
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ARE
REALLY SUFFERING.
UNDER AND NOT ALL.
CAR DEALERSHIPS DEAD DO THIS BUT
THERE ARE STILL A NUMBER OF
CASES WHERE WE WE FIND WE HAD
SOME PROBLEMS HAPPEN TO BE.
NOT IN THE NEW CAR DEALERSHIPS
BUT MOSTLY IN INDIA AND THE
OTHERS AND SO I AM DEFINITELY
WILLING TO WORK BECAUSE AGAIN
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO
MAKE SURE.
THAT THERE'S PROPER
COMMUNICATION.
BETWEEN EVERYONE AND I AM
COMMITTED TO DO THAT.
AND AND SO THE THE IS OTHER
ISSUES RAISED AROUND LIKE THAT
SOUNDS NOT ALLOWED TO
COMMUNICATE AND AYE BUT THERE
MEET SOME OF THESE TECHNICAL
ISSUES HERE WE NEED.
TO TALK TO THAT IDEA THAT IT
VICTOR'S.
BUT THERE'S BEEN ONE GOING TO
INOTES THE LONG NIGHT WE'D GO IN
EACH OF THOSE THE
CONSTITUTIONALITY --
BUT THERE'S THERE'S REASONS FOR
THAT AND AND BUT I NOW SEE THE
OTHER SIDE OF IT AND SO WE NEED
TO TALK THROUGH IT.
CAN I JUST SAY AM I KNOW THERE'S
A LOT.
THING TONIGHT BUT I WOULD LOVE
TO SEE I'M I'M GOING TO SPORTS
TONIGHT BUT LOVE TO SEE ENGAGE
OF THESE FOLKS AND IF IT DOES
GET OUT COME TO FLORA
[inaudible]
JUST.
THIS ITS IT'S IT'S LARGER A
LITTLE UNWIELDY RIGHT NOW SO WE
IN HIS.
HOME IN IN AND DEAL WITH THOSE
VERY SERIOUS CONSUMER PROTECTION
ISSUES WERE CONSTITUTIONALITY
EVERY ABSOLUTELY YES I I
RECOGNIZE ALL THAT BUT AND
THAT'S WHERE I MET.
AND WOULD LIKE TO WORK IT OUT
THE APPROPRIATIONS FORGET
SUBJECT COULD COULD THAT BE IDEA
THINKING [inaudible]
SENATOR MONNING.
THANK YOU MDAM CHAIR.
I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD --
A FEW LIFETIMES AGO WHEN IT WAS
A LAWYER WITH CALIFORNIA RURAL
LEGAL ASSISTANCE.
WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN SUPPORTING
LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRED.
ANY CARD DEALER TRANSACTION NEW
OR USED CAR DEALERSHIP.
HE IF THE DEAL IS NEGOTIATED IN
LANGUAGE OTHER THAN ENGLISH THE
CONTRACT TESTS TO BE.
PROVIDED IN WRITING IN THE
LANGUAGE THAT THAT CONTRACTS
NEGOTIATED THAT REMAINS THE LAW
TODAY.
AND WHAT I SEE YOUR BILL DOINGS
EXTENDING THIS TO SOME OTHER
ARENAS.
I DO SHARE THE CONCERN OF THE
BILL COLLECTORS REPOSSESSIONS
ETCETERA DEBT COLLECTORS --
THAT'S HOW I READ THE BILL.
AND WHEN I HEAR AUTO REPAIR.
IT KIND OF TAKES IT TO A ANOTHER
COMMERCIAL ENTITY THAT'S NOT
NECESSARILY A DEBT COLLECTOR SO
AGAIN WITHOUT GETTING INTO THE
WEEDS THIS EVENING.
I'VE HEARD THE AUTHORS
COMMITMENT TO TO WORK ON SOME OF
THESE ISSUES --
AS IT MOVES FORWARD.
THAT COMMITMENT IS GOOD ENOUGH
FOR ME TO SUPPORT IT THIS
EVENING.
I WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT SHOULD
COME TO US ON THE FLOOR TO SEE
IF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN
THAT AREA SO THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
THANK THANK YOU KNOW I WOULD.
SHARE THOSE SENTIMENTS --
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS HERE
PROMOTION.
SO MOVED BY SENATOR MONNING THE
MOTION IS TO PASS TO THE STATE
TO SENATE APPROPRIATIONS.
OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE UP YES IT WILL
WORK.
QUALITY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
HAPPENS HAVE SPECULATED
THROUGHOUT VOTE VERY GOOD
ALRIGHT.
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
JACKSON AYE JACKSON AYE MORE
LOCK.
ANDERSON.
ANDERSON NO HERTZBERG.
BELIEVE THE ROLE OPEN FOR ABSENT
MEMBERS AND I THINK THAT'S IT
FOR YOU SIR VERY GOOD THANK YOU.
NEXT STOP IS ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WOULD.
FILE ITEM THIRTY AB TWENTY TO
SIXTY SEVEN GOOD EVENING.
THE EVENING MADAM CHAIR THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
NOTES BEEN A LONG DAY SO I
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME ATTENTION
TO WHAT IS A CRITICAL BILL TO MY
DISTRICT.
LET ME START BY SAYING I
CONSIDER MYSELF A PROUD CHAMPION
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND A
DEFENDER OF SEQUELS.
THANK YOU LOOK AT MY VOTING
RECORD EVEN THE OPPOSITION HOUSE
AGREE THAT I'M UNLESS I AM AN
UNLIKELY CANDIDATE TO ASK FOR A
SEQUENCE STREAMLINING GO.
THE ONLY REASON I'M CARRYING
THIS BILL WHICH I THINK HAS BEEN
UNFAIRLY CHARACTERIZED AN
OVERBLOWN IS BECAUSE MY DISTRICT
EXPERIENCED A GENERATIONAL
TRAGEDY AND MUST FIND A WAY TO
REBUILD AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.
AND THE COMMUNITY WANTS TO DO IT
AND CLIMATE SMART WAY.
LATE ON THE NIGHT OF OCTOBER
EIGHTH LAST YEAR THE TUBS FIRE
BEGAN ITS DEADLY MARCHED FROM
NEAR CALISTOGA TO SUBURBAN SANTA
ROSA AND LESS THAN FOUR HOURS
THE FIRE RAN TWELVE MILES JUMPED
HIGHWAY ONE ON ONE DESTROYED
THOUSANDS OF MY CONSTITUENTS
NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS HOMES.
AND ONCE PEOPLE REACH THE
RELATIVE SAFETY OF FAMILY
FRIENDS AND EMERGENCY CENTERS.
I WANT TO THE MORGUE TO IDENTIFY
THE VICTIMS.
OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO DIDN'T MAKE
IT OUT.
WENT TO HELL THAT NIGHT.
MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND HOMES
WERE LOST OVERNIGHT INCLUDING
MORE THAN THREE THOUSAND HOMES
IN THE CITY OF LIMITS OF SANTA
ROSA ALONE.
EVERYTIME I GO HOME I RUN INTO
SOMEBODY WHO LOST EVERYTHING
MANY OF THEM ARE LIKE MY
LIFELONG FRIENDS.
AND IT THIS TRAGEDY WASN'T
ENOUGH ALL THE DATA SUGGESTS
THAT UNLESS WE REPLACE THESE
HOMES EXPAND THE SUPPLY OF
HOUSING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
YEARS.
WE WILL LOSE RESIDENCES
BUSINESSES AND A HUGE PIECE OF
OUR COMMUNITY FOREVER.
THE RESPONSE THE CITY OF SANTA
ROSA AND THE SNOW CAN CINEMA
COUNTY TOGETHER WORK CLOSELY
WITH LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS
DESIGNED CLIMATE SMART PLAN TO
DEAL WITH SUDDEN LOSS OF HOUSING.
AND THE IMPENDING ECONOMIC
CRISIS.
THIS PLAN PROPOSES TO INCREASE
INFILL DENSITY TO PROVIDE
CRITICAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING NEAR
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
THAT'S EXACTLY THE KIND OF
DEVELOPMENTS LEGISLATORS
PROMOTED AN INCENTIVIZED.
YOU'RE ABOUT TO HEAR FROM THE
OPPOSITION ABOUT ALL OF THE
EXISTING SEQUEL EXEMPTIONS THAT
THE LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY
APPROVED IN ORDER TO ENCOURAGE
THIS KIND OF DEVELOPMENT.
WHICH I THINK IS AN IMPORTANT
POINT.
THE KINDS OF PROJECTS WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT HERE SHOULD
ALREADY QUALIFY FOR PREVIOUSLY
APPROVED EXEMPTIONS WITH ONE KEY
EXCEPTION.
EXEMPTIONS REQUIRE COMPLIANCE
WITH LOCAL PLANNING DOCUMENTS.
THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA SPECIFIC
PLAN ONLY ALLOWS FOR BUILDINGS
UP TO TEN STORIES.
AB TWENTY TWO SIXTY SEVEN WOULD
DO THREE THINGS.
WOULD ALLOW THE CITY TO AMEND
ITS DOWNTOWN STATION AREA
SPECIFIC PLAN TO PERMIT HIGHER
BUILDINGS INCREASED DENSITY
REDUCE PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
PROVIDE JUDICIAL STREAMLINING
NOT A SEQUENCE EMPTION FOR THE
COUNTIES AIRPORT SPECIFIC
PLANNED NEAR THE COMMUTER SMART
RAIL STATION.
AND PROVIDE LIMITED EXEMPTIONS
FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP
PROJECTS SPECIFIED CITY AND
COUNTY OWNED PROPERTIES.
IT IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF
DEVELOPMENT WE WANT TO SEE IN
CALIFORNIA.
SINCE THIS BILL WENT TO PRINT
THE SPONSORS AND I CONTINUED
WORKING WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
STAKEHOLDERS TO NARROW THIS
PROPOSAL.
AND THE BILL NOW ENJOYS ON
PRESIDENT SUPPORT MORE LOCAL QUE
COMPATIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL
COMMUNITY.
AND THE PLANNING CONSERVATION
LEAGUE.
I FULLY UNDERSTAND AND
APPRECIATE THE PRINCIPAL
POSITION OF THE OPPOSITION ON
THE SECRET BILLS AND I'VE ALWAYS
BEEN RIGHTS RIGHT THERE ON THAT
SIDE OF THE TABLE WITH YOU.
PRIOR TO TAKE IN CONSIDERATION
WHAT MY COMMUNITY HAS BEEN
THROUGH AND DON'T SIMPLY STAND
ON TRIP ON PRINCIPLE.
LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR
AND HOW WE ARE PROPOSING TO
RESPOND.
I URGE YOUR AYE VOTE.
HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IT'S
MAYOR CHRIS CORSI MAYOR OF SANTA
pROSA.
UNFORTUNATE THIS LATE HOUR THE
PLANNING CONSERVATION LEAGUE
COULD NOT BE HERE BUT THEY DO
SUPPORT THE BILL.
ALSO WITH ME FOR TECHNICAL
SUPPORT ASSISTANCE CITY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOOD EVENING.
THEIR WELCOME.
BIG EVENING CHAIR JACKSON AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I'D.
APPRECIATE IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY
FOR YOU AND I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR SERVICE.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
TO TAKE A COUPLE MINUTES OF YOUR
TIME AND TELL YOU WHY WE NEED
THIS THIS BILL IN SANTA ROSA
HENSON ON THE COUNTY.
I HOPE WE COME TO YOU TODAY
ASKING FOR HELP.
WE'RE NOT DEVELOPERS ASKING FOR
HELP WITH A PROJECT.
WE ARE LOCAL OFFICIALS ASKING
FOR HELP AS WE RECOVER FROM
DISASTER.
I REALIZE THIS IS NOT A SMALL
ASK WE TAKES SECRET AS SERIOUSLY
AS YOU DO.
IF WE MAKE THIS REQUEST BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW IN SANTA ROSA AND
CINEMA COUNTY WE DESPERATELY
NEED TO BUILD HOUSING.
PARTICULARLY AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INFILL HOUSING.
TRANSIT ORIENTED HOUSING.
AND THAT ZERO ENERGY HOUSING.
WE LOST MORE THAN FIVE THOUSAND
HOMES HOMES IN THE OCTOBER FIRES.
NO SECRET REVIEW IS REQUIRED TO
REBUILD THOSE HOMES AND CITY AND
COUNTY GOVERNMENT ARE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO HELP
FAMILIES REBUILD THEIR HOMES AND
THEIR LIVES.
BUT IF WE GET FIVE DOWN FIVE
YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
AND ALL WE'VE DONE IS REBUILD
THOSE FIVE THOUSAND HOMES.
WE ARE GOING TO BE FIVE YEARS
BEHIND.
WE HAD HOUSING CRISIS IN.
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN WE NEED
TO WORK ON THAT AS WE WORK ON
THE REBUILD AND THE RECOVERY OF
OUR COMMUNITY.
THIS FIRE DIDN'T JUST AFFECT
THOSE FIVE THOUSAND FAMILIES.
EFFEXOR EXPONENTIAL IN THEIR
ONGOING.
DISPLACEMENT AS DOMINO
THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
FIRE VICTIMS OF BUMPED OUT
RENTERS AND OUTBID OTHER BUYERS
AND WHAT WAS ALREADY A TIGHT
HOUSING MARKET.
MANY OF OUR RESIDENTS ARE UNDER
ON IT UNDER INSURED AND ARE ABLE
TO REBUILD.
PEOPLE ARE LEAVING OUR CITY
BUSINESSES ARE FINDING THEY
CAN'T RETAIN OR RECRUIT
EMPLOYEES.
CITY SCHOOL ENROLLMENT DROPPED
BY FOUR HUNDRED STUDENTS AFTER
THE FIRE.
SO YES WE NEED MORE HOUSING
WHERE DO WE NEED DIFFERENT KINDS
OF HOUSING HOUSING THAT MEETS
THE NEEDS OF SENIORS OF YOUNG
PROFESSIONALS.
OF YOUNG FAMILIES PEOPLE WHO
DON'T MAKE SIX FIGURE INCOMES.
WE WANT TO BUILD IT QUICKLY BUT
WE WANT TO DO IT RESPONSIBLY
ALSO.
WE WANT TO CHANGE THE HISTORIC
DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF OUR
COMMUNITY. TO FOCUS ON OUR
DOWNTOWN.
INFILL TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT.
SO THAT'S WHY THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS BILL ARE VERY NARROW AND
WHITES TIME LIMITED.
IT'S WHITE FOLKS IS ON CITY
CENTERED SMART PLANNING FORWARD
THINKING DEVELOPMENT.
THE EARLIER TODAY YOU HEARD FROM
CITIES HOPING TO AVOID LOSING A
SPORTS TEAM OR TO ATTRACT A
SPORTS TEAM. FOR HERE BECAUSE
WE'RE TRYING TO HOLD ON TO OUR
RESIDENTS.
WE'RE TRYING TO TO PRESERVE THE

GIVEN THE SEQUEL EXEMPTIONS AND
SORT OF THE NEW --
ASPECT OF IT DENY EXEMPTING ALL
THESE AREA PLANTS FROM THOSE
PRODUCTION SO.
BOB WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THEM AS IS ALMOST OVER.
THANK YOU. THIRTY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
GOOD EVENING.
THANK AYE KYLE JONES A SIERRA
CLUB CALIFORNIA OF DAY AND I DO
WANT YOU TO THINK THE AUTHOR FOR
HIS PREVIOUS RECORD AND AND DO
ONE OF THE NICE IS IS IS THAT.
HIM BEING A LEADER ON THIS ISSUE
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE WE DO HAVE
TO DISAGREE.
I WAS SOME OF THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS BILL AND HOW COULD IMPACT --
THESE COMMUNITIES I'M I THINK
IT'S REALLY UNPRECEDENTED TO SEE
A KIND OF EXEMPTION FOR A
PLANNING LEVEL KIND OF DOCUMENT --
MOST OF THE EXEMPTIONS THAT WE
HAVE FOCUS ON THEY IDEA THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DO A PLAN
THERE'S A ROBUST PUBLIC DEBATE
ABOUT THAT AND AND AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
AND AND OTHER PROJECTS CAN
EITHER TEAR OFF THAT PLAN OR BE
FULLY EXEMPT FROM THAT PLAN
THAT'S PUTTING THE ONUS ON THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO BE THAT KIND
OF AREA WHERE THIS PUBLIC DEBATE
HAPPENS --
THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
BY EXEMPTING PLANNING --
AND THAT ALSO EXEMPTING PROJECTS
WITH THAT EITHER THROUGH
PROVISIONS OF THIS ILL OR
THROUGH ITS THE NUMEROUS
EXISTING EXEMPTIONS --
YOU'RE REALLY LIMITING THE
PUBLIC'S ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
REVIEW THESE ARE THESE PLAN
AMENDMENTS AND UPDATES AND AND
KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR
COMMUNITY --
YOU KNOW AS I UNDERSTAND IT AND
GIVEN MY MY LIMITED KNOWLEDGE OF
OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCEDURES
IN THE BROWN ACT WOULD BE BUT
APPLIES HERE MEANING THAT YOU
COULD HAVE A PLAN AMENDMENT
APART OCCUR WITH SEVENTY TWO
HOURS NOTICE BICU BEING
ADOPTED AND THAT WOULD BE YOUR
ONLY PUBLIC.
REVIEW IF THERE IS NO
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF THAT --
YOU'RE ALSO LOSING THE ABILITY
TO GET MEDICATION US THROUGH
THESE PLANS --
WHICH CAN BE WHICH CAN BE
IMPORTANT --
PARTICULARLY I'VE SEEN THERE'S
THERE'S THERE'S NUMEROUS CASES
IN WHICH LOCAL AGENCIES USE THE
SIMPLE PROCESS TO GET MEDICATION --
INCLUDING FOR THINGS LIKE SIGNUP
FOR FIRE SAFETY --
YOU KNOW IF IF IF
DENSITIES ARE INCREASING IF IF
AGENCIES NEED MORE SUPPORT --
TO SUPPORT THIS INCREASED
DEVELOPMENT THEY CAN GO THROUGH
THE SECRET PROCESS TO GET THAT
MEDICATION --
IF WITHOUT THE SEQUEL PROCESS
THEY MAY HAVE TERRY PROCESS.
WHICH CAN BE HARD FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS --
AND FOR THOSE AGENCIES --
SO THIS OF THIS SECTION OF THE
FIRST SECTION THE BILL DOES
CONTAIN AT THIS KIND OF
EXEMPTION FOR PLANTS --
AS WELL AS PROJECTS CONSISTENT
WITH THE PLANS --
THERE'S ALSO --
SECTION --
TO OF THE BILL CONTAINS A NEW
TYPE OF SPECIFIC PLAN --
THAT IS RECEIVING --
AT THIS KIND OF TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY EIGHT TREATMENT WHICH OF
JUDICIAL COUNCIL TO GET INTO
MORE THE SPECIFICS ON THAT BUT
BUT I WOULD JUST NOTE THAT THIS
COMMITTEE PREVIOUSLY --
REJECTED A BILL THIS YEAR TO PUT
PLANS UNDER THAT KIND OF
JUDICIAL REVIEW BECAUSE IT UP
PLAN IS IS IS VERY COMPLEX AND
WHILE.
NEITHER OF US LIKE THE AB NINE
HUNDRED PROCESS AS I I THINK
YOU'RE AWARE BY NOW --
I THINK THAT THERE'S A VERY BIG
DIFFERENCE IN AND LOOKING AT ONE
SPECIFIC PROJECT ONE BUILDING --
VERSES A PLAN WHICH COULD HAVE
SO MANY [inaudible]
I YOU KNOW AT THAT THERE'S A LOT
MORE PARTIES INVOLVED
POTENTIALLY THAT THAT DID
GEOGRAPHIC AREA CAN BE MUCH
LARGER --
AND THIRD.
THIS THIRD SECTION THE BILL
CRAFTS AT IT EXEMPTION FOR
PROJECTS ARE CONSISTENT WITH
THOSE PLANS IN THE SECOND
SECTION --
WHICH WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE
RECEIVED COMPLETE --
YOU KNOW LITIGATION DEPENDING ON
HOW TO AND SEVENTY PROCESS WORKS
OUT -- AND
WHILE THERE'S A LOT OF LOFTY
GOALS IN THOSE THOSE PLANS --
THEY ARE INFILL PLANS --
THERE THERE.
YOU GOT INFILL PROJECTS IN
TRANSIT PRIORITY AREAS AND THOSE
ARE EXEMPT UNDER A LOT OF
EXISTING LAWS WITHOUT ALL THE
BILLS THAT THE THE GOOD PRIDE.
I'D ITEMS IDENTIFIED HERE WE ARE
NOW ABOUT TO I THINK YOU I'M
SORRY I LOST TRACK OF THE TIME
AND GIVE YOU A LITTLE TOO MUCH A
COULD YOU TRY.
TO KIND OF KEEP IT VERY SHORT.
GLEAMING CHAIRED MEMBERS STAND
FOR THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL REAP
BUT ARTICULATED ON A. B. SEVEN
THIRTY FOUR SAME BASIC ISSUES
WITH. NINE EIGHTY SEVEN DOES
MAKE ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT --
TO EXPAND UPON THE POINT I MADE
EARLIER.
THEM.
NO QUESTION ABOUT THE GOALS HERE
THE MERITS OF THE PROJECTS AND
SO FORTH [inaudible]
BUT THIS EXHILARATED JUDICIAL
REVIEW COULD HAVE THE UNINTENDED
AND IRONIC.
AYE ADVERSE IMPACT ON PEOPLE IN
CINEMA COUNTY BRINGING
LITIGATION PER FIRE RELATED
DAMAGES. TO THEIR PROPERTY LOSS
ARE ALL THE KINDS OF LOS CLAIMS
THAT THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH THE
SYSTEM.
THIS LITERALLY BECAUSE THOSE
CASES DO NOT ARE NOT ENTITLED TO
THIS TO SEVENTY DAY REVIEW.
PAY THEIR GONNA WAIT THEY THEY
MAY NOT WAIT.
A TREMENDOUS PERIOD OF TIME BUT
THEY ARE GOING TO WAIT.
BECAUSE THEY'RE THE COURTS
RESOURCES ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
BE DEVOTED TO MOVING THESE TYPE
OF CASES TO THE FRONT OF THE
LINE.
IT'S THOSE KINDS OF REASONS AND
THOSE TYPE OF IMPACTS.
THAT IS WHY THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL
REMAINS OPPOSED TO THIS TYPE OF
LEGISLATION.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION HARD BRINGING IT BACK
TO THE DIET SENATOR MONEY.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR --
SO CAN YOU HELP ME TO THE AUTHOR
WITH CLARIFICATION.
PARTLY NOW CSUS READS A SEQUEL
EXEMPTION.
BUT THEN HERE'S SOME LANGUAGE
ABOUT EXPEDITED REVIEW SO. TO
HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT.
WHO ARE WE OFFERING A TOTAL
EXEMPTION AND SOME AT THE
SEAQUEST SPECS?
THOUGH IT'S IT'S A IT'S A VERY
IT'S A VERY LIMITED SEQUEL
SEQUEL EXEMPTION.
THESE AREAS HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO
SEQUENT DOCUMENTS ALREADY WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS IN HIS INCREASE
THE HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS.
AND THEREBY INCREASE DENSITY
REDUCE PARKING.
AND WITH RESPECT.
TO WHO THE OPPOSITION TALKED
ABOUT THEM.
A NORMAL SECRET PROCESS LOOKS AT
MITIGATION SO IF YOU'RE.
IF YOU'RE BUILDING UP IN
CREATING HIGHER POPULATION
DENSITY IN THERE MAY BE.
NEED FOR MORE SCHOOLS SIR FIRE
SAFETY YEAR POLICE HAD WE MAKE
THAT ASSESSMENT. TO JUST OF
POPULATION CURRENTLY WE HAVE A
SPECIFIC PLAN IN OUR DOWNTOWN AS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MENTIONED
INSTANT DONE A FULL SEQUEL --
PROCESS FOR THAT BLOUSE
UNBUTTONED STORIES AND ALSO
ALLOW FOR THIRTY FIVE HUNDRED
PEOPLE TO COME INTO THAT PLAN.
NONSENSE AT PLANS BEEN ADOPTED
ABOUT EIGHT EIGHT TO NINE YEARS
AGO -- WE'VE
SEEN A HUNDRED HOMES COMMAND SO
WE HAVE A NEED TO WE HAVE THE
CAPACITY WE'VE DONE THE STUDIES
WE'VE DONE THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS
SHOW WITH THAT POPULATION.
NEEDS TO SADDAM FOR THAT AREA
THE HEIGHT REDUCE THE PARKING
REQUIREMENTS WE CAN ACTUALLY
START.
TO BRING THAT POPULATION INTO
THAT CITY CENTER GROWTH NEAR THE
TRANSIT --
AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE AS THE
MAYOR MENTIONED URGENCY IS OF
THE ESSENCE.
SO ISN'T AS A MATTER OF
PRINCIPLE I HAVEN'T SUPPORTED
[inaudible]
OTHER SEQUEL.
EXEMPTIONS OR EXPEDITED REVIEW.
CONSIDERATION.
THIS IS KIND OF A DIFFERENT
BEAST.
THE RESULTING FROM.
THE TRAGEDY OF THE FIRES
[inaudible]
UNFORTUNATELY [inaudible]
FIRE TRAGEDIES ARE NOT LIMITED
TO SANTA ROSA AND WE'RE ENTERING
A FIRE SEASON NO YEAR ROUND FIRE
SEASON.
CHAIRS DISTRICTS BEEN AFFECTED
MY DISTRICT BEEN AFFECTED.
SO WHAT PRECEDENT DOES THIS
ESTABLISHES EVERY COMMUNITY
THAT'S BEEN AFFECTED BY A FIRE --
EXPECT SEQUEL EXEMPTION AS WE
MOVE FORWARD.
I DON'T I DON'T BELIEVE SO I
THINK THIS IS A THIS IS UNIQUE I
BELIEVE AND A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY --
THIS IS --
TO PIGGYBACK ON A SPECIFIC PLAN
THAT ENVISIONS INFILL
DEVELOPMENT ALREADY --
WE KNOW THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE
WILL NOT REBUILD --
THEY'VE LEFT THE AREA --
IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE FOR US --
TO TO WHILE WHILE PEOPLE CAN AND
HAVE THE ABILITY TO REBUILD
EXACTLY WHERE THEIR HOUSE WAS --
WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT TO
ENCOURAGE THEM?
TO BE IN A AREA THAT IS MORE
INFILL OR CITY CENTERED CLOSER
TO SERVICES WHY WOULD WE WANT TO
ENCOURAGE --
PEOPLE TO REBUILD IN THE URBAN
WILDLAND INTERFACE AREA WHERE WE
HAD SO MUCH DAMAGE.
BUT THIS BILL DOESN'T PROHIBIT
PEOPLE REBUILDING IN THOSE AREAS
THAT ARE.
WE CAN'T BY LAW RIGHT.
SO.
THIS SOLUTION DOESN'T.
NECESSARILY RESULT IN PEOPLE NOT
REBUILDING.
IN THOSE OUTER AREAS.
IT DOESN'T WE CAN'T WE CAN'T
PREVENT THEM FROM DOING THAT --
WHERE PRIVATE WE'RE TRYING TO
PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD
SMARTER QUITE FRANKLY
[inaudible]
SOME.
THE BUILDING TRADES EXPRESS.
IT'S CONDITIONAL SUPPORT.
BASED ON ADDRESSING.
THEIR CONCERNS WHERE YOU IN
THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
BUT WE ARE WE ARE ACTIVELY
TALKING WITH THEM --
I THOUGHT LOTS OF SOME OF THE
LAND IN QUESTION IS ACTUALLY
OWNED BY THE CITY AND BY THE
COUNTY.
SO I THINK THERE'S CONCERNS
ABOUT PREVAILING WAGE --
THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE.
ZONE.
AND WE ARE HOW BILL PROHIBIT
PREVAILING WAGE NOW.
DOES THIS BILL SUPPORT
PREVAILING WAGE.
WERE HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
NAM TYPE PRE SHEET THAT AND I AM
GONNA.
SS HOW THOSE DISCUSSIONS MOVE
FORWARD I AND I WANT TO HEAR THE
REST OF MY COLLEAGUES DISCUSSION
I'M.
I REMAIN [inaudible]
KIND OF NON COMMITTAL AT THIS
POINT BUT I'M OPEN MINDED IN.
A WOULD LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE
REASSURANCES MOVING FORWARD.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR --
I JUST WANTED.
IT SHOULD MAKE A COUPLE
OBSERVATIONS --
NY.
ACTUALLY TOWARD THE AREA AFTER
YOU HAD TO FIRE I KNOW SANTA
ROSA TO BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY.
ELEVEN PA I WOULD UP THERE ON
ONE OF THOSE NATIONAL GUARD
AWFUL HELICOPTERS.
AND SAW THE DEVASTATION SO I WAS
THAT I WAS QUITE MOVED BY THE
COFFEE PARK FOR EXAMPLE JUST
GONE.
DOT BEGAN HUNDREDS OF HOME SO I
I UNDERSTAND.
THEN ONLY A FEW MONTHS LATER I
HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE IN MY
OWN COMMUNITY.
OF VENTURA YOU MENTION ALL THESE
HOMES GONE IN SHORT ORDER.
S. FIRE MOVE FIFTEEN MILES WOULD
FOUR HOURS.
TOOK OUT ABOUT SIX HUNDRED HOMES
NOT AS MANY BUT FOR SMALL
COMMUNITY LIKE MENTOR I IT WAS
SIGNIFICANT.
AND THEN OF COURSE IT MOVED UP
THE ROAD IN.
RESULTED IN A HORRIFIC DEBRIS
FLOW THAT KILLED TWENTY THREE
PEOPLE AND YOU KNOW IN A FIRE
YOU.
PICK UP THE ASHES IN YOU REBUILD
BUT IN THIS INSTANCE THE IN MANY
INSTANCES BUT THERE'S NO LAND
LEFT TO BUILD ON IT ALL.
A FLOW DOWNHILL SO I I AM VERY
SYMPATHETIC GUY I HAVE SEEN THE
HORRORS I LOST FRIENDS AND I
LIVE ABOUT A MILE FROM WHERE
THAT DEBRIS FLOW HAPPEN AND I
EVERY.
TIME I GO HOME THAT'S MY TURN
OFF ON THE FREEWAY AND I'M
REMINDED OF AN ON A DAILY BASIS
SO I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND.
MY PROBLEM IS --
THAT THE ISSUE BOBBING BACK AND
WE DID TODAY WE DID A COUPLE
THESE STADIUMS UNDER A PROVISION
NAY BEING.
NINE HUNDRED YOU KNOW FOR
WHATEVER REASON ALLOWS FOR THESE
KINDS OF EXEMPTIONS.
BUT SEQUEL AS I UNDERSTAND IT
ALREADY PROVIDES STREAMLINING
PROVISIONS AND EXEMPTIONS FOR
INFILL DEVELOPMENT SO IT IS THE
SEQUEL ALREADY DOES THAT.
SO IT THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS
SEEKING AN EXEMPTION FROM AN
EXEMPTION.
AND A FUNCTIONALLY ANNA.
IT'S BASICALLY A BLANKET
SECRETIVE EXEMPTION UNTIL
[inaudible]
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR SO --
YOU KNOW THE THE INTRODUCED
VERSION OF THE BILL WAS ABOUT
THE WILDFIRE AREAS THAT I
UNDERSTAND YOU WANT TO DO AN
EXPEDITED --
SEQUEL PROCESS SO THAT YOU CAN
REBUILD ON YOUR PROPERTY AND IN
MANY INSTANCES IF YOU USE THE
SAME FOOTPRINT --
AS YOUR HOME WAS THAT YOU GET
YOU.
CUT THROUGH THEIR PROCESS IN NO
TIME AND THAT THE THE BIGGEST.
IMPEDIMENT IS FIGHTING WITH THE
INSURANCE COMPANIES --
BUT THIS BILL BASICALLY IS
ASKING.
FOR A AN EXEMPTION. FOR AN AREA
THAT WASN'T.
ACTUALLY THOUGH THAT THE SOURCE
OF THE PROBLEM TO SEE THIS A
DOWNTOWN AREA AND INSTEAD OF
ASKING REBUILD.
YOU WANT TO BUILD UP AND PERHAPS
IN OTHER WAYS SAID SHE QUIT
HASN'T REALLY ADDRESSED AND I
MEAN IT'S SO.
MY BIG QUESTION IS WHY ARE
EXISTING STREAMLINED PROVISIONS
IN SECRET EXEMPTIONS NOT ENOUGH
AND IF YOU WANT TO DO --
AT THE CHANGES IN PLANNING
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THIS IS
ASSISTANCE AND JUST A PROJECT BY
PROJECT YOU WANT TO HAVE A
PLANNING EXEMPTION --
I I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY.
A THE SEQUEL PROCESS ISN'T
APPROPRIATE OR ADEQUATE AND WHY
THERE SHOULD BE AN EXEMPTION.
WHEN YOU'RE NOT EVEN TALKING
ABOUT THE AREA THAT WAS IMPACTED
BY THE WILDFIRES THAT PICKED IT?
TO ME IT'S A DEVIATION FROM.
THE SEQUEL RULE WHICH YOU KNOW
BELIEVE ME I AYE CASSETTE I SAW
THE DEVASTATION.
BUT IS THAT.
REASON IS THAT REASON ENOUGH TO
TO JUST CHANGE THE SEQUEL RULES
WHERE AND YOU ALREADY HAVE
EXPEDITED REVIEW BECAUSE OF THIS
[inaudible]
CIRCUMSTANCE.
CRIME MADAM CHAIR AT THE
DISPLACEMENT THAT YOU HEARD
ABOUT EARLIER IS IS IS HAPPENING
WE'RE SEEING PEOPLE BEING.
PUSHED OUT OF THEIR HOMES ON BE
ABLE TO AFFORD TO GO BACK INTO
THE HOMES THAT THEY THAT THEY
LOST.
AGAIN INSURANCE MONEY AND TAKING
OUT INSURANCE MONEY LOOKING FOR
AN ALTERNATE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
GO BACK AND SOME PEOPLE THAT
JUST DON'T WANT.
TO GO BACK TO THAT AREA THAT
BURNS THE LOOK OF ANOTHER ALTER
DONE IN A SMART WAY IN THE
DOWNTOWN CORE NOT THE TO SPRAWL
IN OUR CITY. TO GET TO A
QUESTION ABOUT WHY DO WE NEED
THIS THE SEQUEL EXEMPTION
ESSENTIALLY OUR PLAN CURRENTLY.
HAS A SECRET DOCUMENT TO IT
AGAIN I AS I SAID JUST A EIGHT
EIGHT EIGHT YEARS AGO I WOULD
HAVE A SECRET PLAN FOR THE WHOLE
DOWNTOWN HAVE VALUE IN ALL THE
IMPACTS THAT TO TEN STORIES.
YOU CAN GO IN TODAY AND BULLETIN
STORY BUILDING WITH EXEMPTIONS
YOU TALK ABOUT.
BUT IF WE WANT THAT ELEVEN
STORIES A IT'S NOT CONSISTENT
WITH THE GENERAL PLAN ONLY IN
THEIR LINE DOCUMENTS WHAT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAD
JUST THAT --
ADJUST THAT PLAN BY JUST
INCREMENTAL CHANGE FOR THE
HEIGHTS IN THE REDUCE THE
PARKING THAT WE CAN UNLOCK THE
SECRETS INCHES ES REFERRING TO
RIGHT NOW WE CAN GET TO THEM AND
WE NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY TO BUILD
THAT THOSE HOUSES.
AND GET THAT THAT TYPE OF
HOUSING WE NEED FOR PEOPLE FOR
THE LEAVE.
I WOULD.
I GUESS I GUESS I WOULD ADD YOU
MENTIONED --
VERY ACCURATELY THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE UNDER INSURED
WE'RE DEALING WITH INSURANCE
ISSUES.
A COMPONENT OF THIS IS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING A COMPONENTS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PEOPLE ARE
NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO REBUILD
ON THE FOOTPRINT OF THEIR HOMES
THAT THEY COULD ONCE BEFORE.
WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE OPTIONS
FOR PEOPLE TO STAY IN OUR
COMMUNITIES TO PREVENT PEOPLE
FROM LEAVING OUR COMMUNITY SO
WHY NOT GO THROUGH THE SECRET
PROCESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU CAN'T DO THAT [inaudible]
THERE.
JUST MY UNDERSTANDING OF THIS
AND I'M THE I DON'T --
PRESENT MYSELF TO USE A EXPERT
ON SEQUEL BUT OF WHICH I MET
THREE DIFFERENT DIE IN SEPARATE.
COMPONENTS OF THIS BILL.
THE FIRST.
ONE ONLY EXEMPTS FROM SUPER
[inaudible]
A YOU HAVE UPDATE OF OUR
SPECIFIC PLAN DEALING WITH
HEIGHT AND DENSITY AND PARKING.
THE SECOND.
ONE DOES NOT EXEMPT THE SPECIFIC
PLAN AT THE COUNTY AIRPORT AND
AND SMART TRAIN STATION.
FROM ANY SECRET ALL IT'S NOT A
SECRET EXEMPTION THEY NEED TO DO
A SPECIFIC PLAN.
IT WOULD GIVE THEM THE EXPEDITED
JUDICIAL REVIEW SHOULD THEY
SHOULD THEY BE SUED.
NOBODY EXPECTS THEM TO BE SUED
WE WANT TO DO THIS RESPONSIBLY
AS I SAID.
ARM IN THE THIRD.
IS A SINGLE EXEMPTION FOR FOR
PROJECTS ON CITY OWNED COUNTY
OWNED PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY
LIMITS.
THAT MEET THESE --
THESE --
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP.
GUIDELINES THAT ARE PROJECTS
THAT WE ABSOLUTELY WANT AND THE
REASON THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
THE EXEMPTION.
IS SO WE CAN DO THIS QUICKLY A
IT'S IT'S A MATTER OF SPEED IT'S
A MATTER OF TRYING. TO TO HANG
ON TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE HOUSING
FOR FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
RIGHT NOW ARE REALLY STRUGGLING.
I THIS IS.
YOU KNOW IS THERE IS A QUESTION
ABOUT WHY SHOULDN'T EVERY EVERY
FIRE OF HAVE THIS KIND OF
EXEMPTION --
THIS.
IS THE IS THE BIGGEST LOSS.
OF ANY FIRE.
IN CALIFORNIA OF IF WE WANT TO
SAY.
THAT -- IT I
DON'T SPEAK FOR THE AUTHOR BUT
WE COULD.
WE COULD NARROW THIS DOWN EVEN
FURTHER AND SAY THAT YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A A STATE AND
FEDERALLY DISK DECLARED DISASTER
YOU HAVE TO LOSE AT LEAST FIVE
THOUSAND HOMES.
IN A COMMUNITY ARE YOU KNOW
WE'RE NOT GONNA TRY TO SET
PRECEDENT WE'RE TRYING. TO TO
FIX SOMETHING THAT'S WRONG IN
OUR COMMUNITY [inaudible]
SENATOR STERN.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR --
THE TOUGH BILL.
CERTAIN.
I DON'T FEEL PARTICULAR WELL
POSITIONED EVEN OPINED ON WHAT.
YOUR CITY SHOULD BE DOING AND
HOW YOU WANT TO REBUILD I MEAN
THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT.
REALLY BELONGS IN LOCAL CONTROL
AND YET HERE WE ARE IN THE
LEGISLATURE TRYING.
TO RAPPER HEADS AROUND HOW TO DO
WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU ALL CAN YOU
GIVE ME A SENSE. ONE SECRETS NOT
JUST ENVIRONMENTAL.
POLICY IT'S OF IT'S REALLY ABOUT.
PUBLIC INPUT.
AND MAKING SURE THE LEAD AGENCY
HAS -- INPUT
FROM EVERYBODY INCLUDING THOSE
WHO.
MAY BE RESIDENTS OF SANTA ROSA
WHO DON'T WANT TO SEE ELEVEN
STORIES OR TWELVE STORIES.
IS THERE A PUBLIC NOTICE ELEMENT
HERE AND AND WHAT IS THE PUBLIC
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS I GUESS.
LOOK LIKE TO THIS POINTAND WHAT
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON FOR I GET
THAT YOU'RE GENERAL PLAN UPDATE
WENT THROUGH THAT PROCESS PRIOR
BUT BUT THIS SORT OF NEW.
UPGRADED YOU KNOW HIGHER DENSITY
REDESIGNED HOW ARE YOU CAN
ENGAGE IN THAT PROCESS THAT'S
EXCELLENT QUESTION ASSEMBLY
MEMBER STERN THE THE PROCESS IS
GOING TO BE THAT WE'RE GONNA GO
THROUGH A SPECIFIC PLAN UPDATE.
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION
AUTHORITY AWARDED US EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR GRANT TO
MOVE THIS FORWARD QUICKLY THEY
REALIZE THEIR AGENCIES THEY GAVE
US THE MONEY. TO MOVE THROUGH
THIS PROCESS WITH THAT PROCESS
ORGAN HAVE A EXTREMELY ROBUST
PUBLIC PROCESS TO EVALUATE THAT
HEIGHT COMPONENT AND REDUCTION
PARKING WHAT THAT MEANS TO OUR
COMMUNITY.
BECAUSE AS WE HEAD HEIGHT THAT'S
GOING TO ADD THAT VISUAL CHANGE
TO OUR CITY TIME AND WE NEED TO
FIGURE OUT HOW WE'RE GONNA.
PLAN BACK INTO THE RING
NEIGHBORHOODS NEXT TO IT THAT
PROCESS --
THAT THE FOR THE SPECIFIC PLAN
UPDATE THAT WERE ASKING FOR THE
SECRET EXEMPTION ON FOR THE
HEIGHT SO.
SO AS FOR THE DOWNTOWN NOT FOR
THE AIR AIRPORT I'M SORRY WHAT
WAS AYE IF WE WOULD YOU CALL THE
AIRPORT THAT.
AIRPORT WILL GO THROUGH EVEN
MORE SO THE AIRPORT IT'S A NEW
SPECIFIC PLAN OF THE THINGS
YOU'RE SEEING THE STREAMLINING
ON DIRECT BUT YOU'RE SAYING EVEN
FOR THIS EXEMPTION YOU'RE
SEEKING ON THE SPECIFIC.
PLAN ON THE DOWNTOWN IT WILL
STILL GO THROUGH ITS CAN GO
THROUGH THE HOLES SPECIFIC PLAN
PROCESS OF PUBLIC INPUT ROBUST
PROCESS BECAUSE AN ANTI SIZE
THAT REQUIRES SIR NUMBER OF
NEIGHBORHOOD MEETINGS AND PUBLIC
PROCESS.
WE DON'T WANT TO INCREASE THE
HYPE FAR DOWNTOWN ARE ON OUR
COMMUNITY WITHOUT HAVING THAT
CONVERSATION AND WE NEED TO GET
INPUT FROM THEM IN DEVELOPING
THIS PLAN.
SO THAT I LOOK AT WHAT THE
TRAFFIC IMPACTS ARE WHAT WE DO
DOES AND THE WATER SEWER THE
UTILITIES THAT HAVE ALL THE AND
THE TO HAVE ALL THE ELEMENTS
NECESSARY. TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN
ADDING THAT INTERNAL ITEM
REDUCING THE PARKING
REQUIREMENTS AND THAT PROCESS
GOING TO TAKE TAKE YOU KNOW THE
NEXT FEW BUT BASICALLY SIX
MONTHS OF TIME. TO GRIP GET THE
PUBLIC ENGAGED GET THEM INVOLVED
GET THAT FEEDBACK TO BUILD THAT
PLANT GET APPROVED.
AND SUPPORT WITH THE MTC IS
HELPING US. TO FOR ME.
MAYBE MISTER MAYOR MISTER SIMON --
GET FURTHER ELABORATE BUT I
DIDN'T HEAR A CHAU I MEAN IT IS
THERE IS THERE SUPPORT IN THE
COMMUNITY ALREADY AND THEY GONNA
GO THROUGH A PROCESS FOR RIGHT
NOW.
WE DIDN'T WE HEAR OPPOSITION
EITHER LOCALLY SON AND I TRYING
TO SAY THERE THAT EITHER I JUST
SORT OF WONDERING WHAT DO THEY
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON UP HERE DO
THEY KNOW WE'RE GOING THROUGH
THAT THIS BILL IS HERE MONNING
AND THEY DO.
THERE WAS A YOU KNOW WE HAD A
HEARING BEFORE.
SENATOR WHITE Y. SCOTT SKIS --
COMMITTEE LAST WEEK THERE WAS A
FRONT PAGE STORY IN THE
NEWSPAPER AFTER THAT.
OF BUT THIS IS NOT THE ONLY
THING THAT THAT WE'RE DOING
TOWARD.
ADAM TOWARD MAKING THESE CHANGES
IN OUR IN OUR DOWNTOWN.
WE'VE --
OVER THE LAST EIGHT MONTHS
REDUCED FEES WEAVER ADOPTED A A
RESILIENT CITY ORDINANCE THAT
DIED.
EXPEDITES AND AND CHANGES SOME
ZONING.
AUTUMN IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA MAKE
MAKING THINGS EASIER TO BUILD UP
WE'RE TRYING TO FERTILIZE THE
GROUND. TO TO SPROUT SOME SOME
RESIDENTIAL AFFORDABLE PROJECTS
IN OUR DOWNTOWN --
WE ARE TONIGHT OF THE CITY
COUNCIL A I DID MAKE IT BACK IN
TIME BUT THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED
UNANIMOUSLY. TO PUT HOUSING BOND
ON THE BALLOT THIS FALL --
WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE A
REGULATORY --
FINANCIAL HELP TO GET THIS TO
HAPPEN.
THE IT WE'VE BEEN DOING POLLING
ABOUT BONDING AND AND HOUSING
AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
ARE BY FAR THE NUMBER ONE
CONCERNS OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITY.
THEY'RE WITH US ON THIS OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH THEM.
AT THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY ARE TELLING
US THIS THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO
DO HELPING US TO TO MOVE THIS
ALONG.
SO YES THERE IS SUPPORT IN THE
COMPATRIOT QUESTION.
THIS.
VOTE THE CERTIFICATION OF THE
RED AREA.
MY CONCERN IS THAT THE LACK OF
JUDICIAL REVIEW ON THAT SO IT'S
BASICALLY LIKE.
AND I'M NOT.
A FUN CHALLENGE WILL SIGN OFF
THAT IT IS A RED AREA IN OTHER
WORDS THAT IT'S HIT.
PRETTY SIT PRETTY --
SOPHISTICATED REQUIREMENTS I
MEAN WHAT YOU'VE ADDED IN HERE
IN TERMS OF NOTCHES WHERE IT IS
BUT VMT REDUCTION IN --
GREENHOUSE GAS IT IS IN THAT
ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS OR NO NET
INCREASE IN GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS I THINK IS WHAT YOU
GET IN THERE.
THAT'S THE SAME TESTS WE PUT THE
STADIUMS THROUGH THAT THEY HIT.
BUT IN NO IN THOSE CASES THAT
CERTIFICATION CAN ACTUALLY BE
CHALLENGE SO.
YEAH WHAT WOULD THAT WOULD THAT
BE A BIG IMPEDIMENT TO YOUR
PROCESS TO ACTUALLY.
FIND SOME WAY TO AT LEAST BE
ABLE TO DOUBLE CHECK IT OR AT AT
THAT THAT PART I MEAN.
I I DON'T KNOW IF DID YOU SORT
OF TRUST THE SIGN OFF ENTIRELY
ON ITS OWN I THINK.
I DON'T THAT THAT STILL AN
OUTSTANDING CONCERN FROM IS I
DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S A DEAL
BREAKER FOR YOU ARE NOT BUT THE
ABILITY.
TO AT LEAST CHALLENGER HAVE --
SOME REVIEW PROCESS SOME
VERIFICATION OR SOME ENTITY.
I I'M SEARCHING HERE BUT
SENATORS YOU WANT YOU WANT TAKE
OUR WORD FOR IT THAT.
YOU WANT YOU WANT SOME
VERIFICATION THAT THAT WHAT
WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH --
AS WE WENT THROUGH AND WE WENT
THROUGH THIS LIKE A THE CARBS
CERTIFICATION PROCESS RIGHT THAT
WE IMPOSED IN EQ ONE THESE OTHER
PROJECTS SO.
YEAH FILMING TO DO THIS ON THE
FLY ESPECIALLY WITH THAT THE
CHAIR HERE BUT I BUT I AM SURE
IT IS GOING TO GET A FEEL FROM
YOU ON THAT.
THANK YOU JUST GOT TO CLARIFY
YOUR YOUR TALK ABOUT
CERTIFICATION ESSENTIALLY OF THE
PLANET FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW SO
LET'S SAY THE AIRPORT AREA.
AGAIN THOSE ABOUT THE RED IN THE
RIGHT AREA THE RED AREA SO.
SO YOU'RE SORT OF YOUR DOING
LIKE IN AB NINE HUNDRED LIGHT
RIGHT WHERE YOU'RE SAYING IT'S A
RED LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT AND THEN --
THE LEAD AGENCY CERTIFIES BUT
THAT THAT CERTIFICATIONS IMMUNE
FROM JUDICIAL REVIEW SO THAT'S
WHAT I'M GETTING AT SO I'M.
AND HIGH HIGHLY DEVELOPED LOSE
TIME MILES.
WITH THINK COUNTY COUNSEL'S
OFFICE IN CINEMA COUNTY --
SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
KIND OF PULL APART THE DIFFERENT
SECTIONS OF THE BILL AND I THINK
WHAT'S HAPPENED IN SOME OF THE
ANNOUNCES THAT THERE'S BEEN A
CONFLATION BETWEEN SECTIONS TO
IN SECTION.
THREE SECTION TWO IS REALLY
ABOUT THE JUDICIAL STREAMLINED
LIMITED TO THE AIRPORTS
[inaudible]
PLAN AND THE POSSIBILITY OF
DESIGNATING A RED AREA PLAN
[inaudible]
AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
AROUND THE DESIGNATION OF THE
RED AREA WOULD WOULD BE A ROBUST
PROCESS IN THE SAME WAY THAT A
SPECIFIC PLAN IS GOING TO BE.
BUT REGARD TO THE AIRPORT AREA.
SO BOTH OF THOSE PROCESSES WILL
BE FULLY PART OF THE REGULAR
SUPER PROCESS WITH VERY ROBUST
PUBLIC --
PARTICIPATION AND ENVIRONMENTS
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS AND THEN THE
DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO
CERTIFY DE AYE ARE WILL STILL BE
JUDICIALLY TANGIBLE AND THAT'S
WHY WE'RE ASKING FOR THE
EXEMPTION.
THE DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO
CERTIFY THE RED AREA PLAN IS
WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR THE
EXEMPTION FOR INSTANCE ACTION TO
ANOINT YEAH I GET THAT.
AND THEN WITH REGARD TO TO
SECTION THREE IN THIS IS THIS
THE SEQUENCE OPTION FOR THE RED
LEADERSHIP PROJECTS.
WHICH WOULD.
WHICH WOULD NEED TO FIT INTO
THIS AGAIN THIS EXTENSIVE
CRITERIA TO TEST TO BE CERTIFIED
AS A AS A LEADERSHIP PROJECT --
THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE THAT
DECISION TO CERTIFY WOULD BE
EXEMPT FROM SEQUEL.
AND JUDICIAL REVIEW [inaudible]
NO.
SO SO NONTRADITIONAL IDEA.
IT WOULD NOT BE EXEMPT FROM
JUDICIAL REVIEW SAID THE
CERTIFICATION OF A RED
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
WOULD BE SUBJECT TO JUDICIAL
REVIEW BUT THE DECISION ON
WHETHER IT'S A RED AREA.
IS NOT MY GAME ERA THAT'S
CORRECT SO UP ON A PROJECT LEVEL.
RIGHT WHICH IS THE SECTION THREE
EXEMPTION.
THAT.
DOT DECISION WHETHER OR NOT TO
CERTIFY A PROJECT WERE ASKING
FOR IT EXEMPTION FROM C. CLUB
BUT THAT DECISION.
THAT ISN'T NECESSARILY EXEMPT
FROM JUDICIAL REVIEW.
GOOD GOD COULD I JUST CLARIFY
THAT WHEN WHEN YOU DO NOTICE FOR
SECRET FOR EXEMPTION AT THE FILE
A NOTICE EXEMPTION IN THAT DOES
START A THIRTY FIVE DAY STRETCH
LIMITATIONS WERE SOMEONE COULD
CHALLENGE THE USE OF THE NOTICE
OF OUR USE OF THE EXEMPTION.
US I BELIEVE THAT WOULD STILL
APPLY HERE --
BUT I DO HAVE ANOTHER POINT ON
THIS LATER IF I COULD KICK BY
YEAH AT A CITY.
I GUESS AGAINST WITH SECTION
THREE OF THE BILL YOU DO HAVE A
REQUIREMENT THAT THE PROJECT
APPLICANT APPLY --
TO TO BECOME A LEADERSHIP
PROJECT CONSISTENT WITH ALL OF
THE THE ITEMS PUT IN HERE AND I
EIGHT I THINK ALL THOSE ITEMS
ARE GREAT.
I GUESS MY CONCERN WITH THAT IS
THAT.
PURELY RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS
ALREADY CONSISTENT WITH SPECIAL
PLAY A SPECIFIC PLANS ARE FULLY
EXEMPT UNDER THE GOVERNMENT CODE.
AND AND UNDER --
ONE OF THE STEINBERG BILLS AND
IT'S LATE --
TWO ONE ONE FIVE FIVE POINT FOUR
IN THE PUBLIC RESOURCES CUT I
THINK -- YOU
HAVE --
PROJECTS WITHIN TRANSIT PRIORITY
AREAS THAT ARE RESIDENTIAL AND
MIXED USE ARE ALREADY EXAMS --
AND SO WHILE THERE'S GREAT ITEMS
IN HERE REGARDING --
IN SOME OF THE MOMENTS I'VE SEEN
REGARDING THOSE PROJECTS IT
DOESN'T SEEM TO ME THAT A LOT OF
APPLICANTS WOULD WANT TO APPLY
TO BECOME LEADERSHIP PROJECTS
GIVEN EXISTING EXEMPTIONS ARE
PROJECTS CONSISTENT WITH
SPECIFIC PLANS.
FUN.
IF I JUST IF I MAY THE REASON
WHY THE SPECIFIC PLAN --
REQUIRE A REQUESTED TO BE
EXPEDITED IS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW
THE COUNTY CAN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF ANY OF THOSE EXEMPTIONS ARE
CURRENTLY EXISTENCE EQUAL
BECAUSE OUR SPECIFIC PLAN IN
THOSE AREAS AS WELL AS THE
POSSIBLE RED AREA.
THE RED AREAS SPECIFICALLY
DOESN'T EXIST YET IN THE AIRPORT
AREA ONE NEEDS TO BE DONE
INCONSISTENCY QUIRK SO INTO WORD
WERE FINISHED WITH THOSE
PLANNING PROCESSES WHICH AGAIN
WILL BE.
FULLY COMPLIANT WITH SEQUINED
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION WERE NOT
ABLE TO ACCESS ANY OF THOSE
EXEMPTIONS UNTIL THAT PLANNING
PROCESS IS DONE AND FOR THAT
REASON WE'RE ASKING FOR THAT
PLANNING PROCESS OF THOSE
PLANNING PROCESS HE'S TO BE.
EXPEDITED.
THANK YOU SENATOR MONNING.
THANK YOU FOR MISS DE LA CRUZ --
THANK YOU FOR THAT EXPLANATION.
HAVE THERE BEEN ANY COMMUNITY
MEETINGS ON THIS PROPOSAL TODAY.
WE HAVE WE HAVE VETTED THE CAN
OF THE RED IDEA THROUGHOUT BOTH
THE CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN PUBLIC
HEARINGS A NUMBER OF TIMES NOW.
THE BOARD HAS DELIBERATED
EXTENSIVELY ON THE IDEA OF THIS
A DISTRICT AND THAT IN THE READ
IN GENERAL AS WE'VE MOVED
THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
PROCESS.
THIS BILL IS NOW MUCH MORE
RESPONSIVE TO LOCAL
ENVIRONMENTALISTS AS WELL AS TO
OUR LABOR COMMUNITY.
AND SO I WOULD SAY THAT THE
ANSWER IS A DOES HAVE BEEN
PUBLICLY NOTICED MEETINGS
CATHOLIC MEETINGS AND FOR THE
SIERRA CLUB.
JEFF SIERRA CLUB MEMBERS WHO ARE
PROPOSING THIS IN CINEMA COUNTY --
Y. HAVE HEARD FROM A FEW BUT I
EVERY LEGISLATIVE DECISION
OCCURS DIE AT AT AT THE STATE
LEVEL ON ELICIT IS PURELY LOCAL
BUT I I THINK YOU THAT ANSWERS
MY QUESTION THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
THANK YOU YES --
AGAIN I SAY WHY YOU COULDN'T GO
THROUGH THE SEQUEL.
PROCESS FOR ALL THIS.
WELL WE ARE MADAM CHAIR SO BOTH
WITH --
AIRPORT SPECIFIC PLAN AND
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY
NOW AND KIND OF I'M GOING APART
THEY COUNTY PARTS OF THIS BILL
AS AS AS COMPARED TO THE CITY
PARTS OKAY ALL COUNTY PARTS
ALRIGHT SO THERE BUT THE CITY
PART YOU WANT THE EXEMPTION FOR
THE CITY.
SO THAT YOU CAN BUILD UP --
ABOVE TEN STORIES HOW MANY
STORIES ABOVE TEN STORIES ARE
YOU PLANNING TO BUILD.
THAT'S GONNA BE DETERMINED BY
THIS IS A PLAN PROCESS IN THE
PUBLIC INPUT IT'S IT WILL BE
LOOKING AT WHAT'S WHAT'S VIABLE
FOR COMMUNITY.
WELL I CAN TELL YOU --
THINKING OF THE CITY OF VENTURA --
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE WOULD BE
VERY HAPPY WITH THE TEN STORY OR
TWENTY STORY BUILDING TO
ACCOMMODATE THE SIX HUNDRED
HOMES THAT WERE --
THAT WERE DESTROYED AYE AYE BUT
YOU KNOW IT'S WHY WE HAVE A
SECRET PROCESS I RAN.
INTO HIM MADAM CHAIR I PUT IF
YOU WOULD JUDICIARY US IN OUR
WORK CURRENTLY ACT WORKING ON
DEVELOPING AGREEMENT WITH WITH
ONE THAT.
IS LOOKING TO GO HIGHER FOURTEEN
MAYBE EVEN TWENTY STORIES AND
THERE HAS BEEN TALK IN THE
COMMUNITY ABOUT ENCOURAGING
FOURTEEN STORIES WE'VE ACTUALLY
ALREADY APPROVES --
INDIVIDUAL PARCELS ABOUT TEN
YEARS AGO BEFORE THE COLLAPSE OF
THE ECONOMY A THREE FOURTEEN
STORY STES AND THAT THE
COMMUNITY APPROVED A READY SO.
I'M A COMMITTEES NOT --
SH SHY ON THIS ISSUE AND
UNDERSTANDS AND IS AN INCURSION
IS THE MAYOR MENTIONED THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE VINYL
COMMUNITY ARE ALL COMING OUT AND
SUPPORT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO INCREASE THE DENSITY AND
HEIGHTEN OUR DOWNTOWN CLICK AND
IF YOU'VE ALREADY PROVED THAT
WHY DO.
YOU NEED AN EXEMPTION WHICH IS
TO TWO SITES ARE TREES THREE
INDIVIDUAL PARCELS AND IN THE
CITY THAT'S IT AND SO WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS ALLOW --
MORE CREATIVE SOLUTIONS NOW THAT
WE HAVE A TRAIN THAT'S JUST BEEN --
PASSENGER TRAIN IT'S JUST BEEN A
PUT INTO SERVICE THIS YEAR WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE BUT THE LAND
THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DOWNTOWN
CORE. TO BRING HOUSING
[inaudible]
CIVIL.
OKAY TERRY IF THE SENATE SOONER
Y. COW SKIN THEN WILL DON'T
CLOSE IT OFF OF I GUESS MAYBE.
I'M GONNA GET TO THE COUNTY
REGARDLESS OF THE CITY.
YOU GOT IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC
PLAN THAT ALLOWS YOU TO BUILD
TEN STORIES YOU'VE GOT.
AB A AND NEED TO HOUSE SOME
PEOPLE --
HERE AS ASKING FOR AN EXEMPTION
FOR THIS TO AMEND THAT SPECIFIC
PLAN ARM.
ON AN EXPEDITED BASIS THAT YOU
CAN GO FOURTEEN STORIES WHATEVER
HE'S GOING EVERITT YOU WHATEVER
YOU WANT TO DO.
IF YOU START OF CONSTRUCTION ON
THE TEN STORY BUILDINGS THAT ARE
ALREADY ALLOWED WHICH IS BRITNEY
WHICH THERE'S YOU KNOW AT LEAST
HAVE HEARD --
TANGENTIALLY TO PROBABLY GETTING
THE WORKERS IN THE CREWS AND ALL
THAT STUFF.
WHAT WOULD PROHIBIT THE CITY
FROM ACTUALLY GOING THROUGH THE
REGULAR AMENDED AMENDMENT
PROCESS --
THAT THEY WOULD BE WE GO THROUGH
THE EIGHTEEN MONTHS WHATEVER
WHOEVER WOULD BE TO HAVE THE
PUBLIC HEARINGS ON THE SEQUEL.
WHAT I GUESS?
BECAUSE WERE IN THERE'S THE THE
GO SHE ASIAN LEADER LAST WEEKEND
IN EQ WHAT'S THE GAME THAT WOULD
YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FOUR STORY FOURTEEN STORIES AND
TEN STORIES ON ONE SIDE TWO
SIDES.
BID THIS WEEK BUT THINGS ARE
READY TO GO.
BECAUSE WE'RE ASKING FOR THIS
EXPEDITED REVIEW BEFORE I GET TO
THE COUNTY I'M [inaudible]
AND YEAH I JUST ASK THAT BECAUSE
THERE'S A SENSE OF PREPARE
PRESENTATION THAT THERE IS AN
URGENCY THAT WE NEED THIS
EXPEDITED BUT I'M TRYING TO
QUANTIFY THAT.
IN.
MAYBE THAT HELPS I DON'T.
LET ME LET ME TRY TO ANSWER THAT
WITH WITHOUT BEING TECHNICAL AND
THEN WE'VE GOT TECHNICAL PEOPLE
WHOEVER BUT A SENATOR WHAT WE'RE
HEARING.
OF FROM THE DEVELOPMENT
COMMUNITY AND AND WE BETTER FOR
BETTER FOR WORSE THAT THE FLYERS
SHINED A SPOTLIGHT ON SANTA ROSA
WE'RE GETTING.
INTEREST FROM DEVELOPMENT
COMMUNITY BUT WHAT WE HEAR.
IS THAT THE COST OF OF BUILDING
IN SANTA ROSA IS ABOUT THE SAME
AS IT IS IN OAKLAND OR IT THE
REST EAST BAY PARTS OF THE SOUTH.
SANTA ROSA EVEN THOUGH WE FEEL
LIKE THEY'RE REALLY HIGH SO
THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO TO PENCIL
THINGS OUT.
IN CINEMA COUNTY.
THE WAY THAT THEY CAN ELSEWHERE
WE ARE TRYING TO COMPETE. FOR
BUILDERS IN THE GREATER BAY AREA
AND WERE AT A DISADVANTAGE RIGHT
NOW ONE IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO
STOP IT TEN STORIES.
ARE YOU KNOW.
I DON'T LIKE HAVING THESE
CONVERSATIONS BUT ALLOWING THEM
TO GO HIGHER INCREASES THEIR
PROFIT.
FOOD ABILITY I'M IT ATTRACTS
THEM TO SANTA ROSA.
WE'RE CHANGING OUR OUR FEES ARE
POLICIES OR REGULATIONS GROUP
WERE CREATING.
A REVENUE SOURCE WITH A HOUSING
BOND WITH TRYING --
TO WE'RE TRYING TO SELL
OURSELVES AS A PLACE TO BUILD
HOUSING BECAUSE WE NEED HOUSING
SO THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
DOING HERE.
ARM AND AS FOR AS FOR THE
TECHNICAL ANSWERS ALL DEFERRED
TO THE THE EXPERTS ON THAT.
VETERAN OPTIONS.
FOR PLEASE WENT GLASS WITH THE
COUNTY ON THE THE RED LEADERSHIP.
NO THE CHECK THE QUESTION THAT
MY COLLEAGUE WAS ASKING YOU SAID
IT'S IT UNDER AB NINE HUNDRED WE
HAVE.
THE GOVERNOR NOT THE PLOT
PROGRAM PROPOSES GOVERNOR IN
THAT AND THE OFFICE OF PLANNING
RESEARCH GOES IN AND SAYS IT'S
GOLD CERTIFIED IT YOU ARE
MEETING THE 15%.
IT'S IT'S NOT SELF CERTIFY
[inaudible]
SELF CERTIFYING.
GENERALLY SPEAKING I'VE BEEN TO
CINEMA COUNTY BUT GENERALLY
SPEAKING WE DON'T THINK OF THE
COUNTY AS AN AREA THAT IS GOING
TO HAVE THIS MECCA OF HIGH
DENSITY DEVELOPMENT.
AND YOU KNOW I DON'T THINK I
LIKE IN IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THAT
pTHE RED SONJA SORT OF A LITTLE
BIT OF THIS A LITTLE BIT OF THIS
AND SOME OF THAT.
AND I ATE LAST WEDNESDAY I
DIDN'T HAVE A FEELING ABOUT A A
I CONSOLIDATED BIT IT DID THAT I
HAVEN'T HEARD THAT THERE'S JUST
A FOUR BLOCK AREA IN THE MIDDLE
OF SANTA ROSA THAT IS.
COUNTY LAND THAT NOBODY KNEW
ABOUT IT.
CHAU.
OF URBAN LIFESTYLE VERSES THE
THESE.
EVER EXPANDING REDSTONE THAT I'M
NOT REALLY A STILL AS A SECURITY
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THE
RED CELLS --
SO.
SO SO THE RED AREAS DEFINED IN
OUR BILL IS OUR AREAS CITY OR
COUNTY OWNED PARCELS THAT ARE
ENTIRELY OR PARTIALLY WITHIN
TRANSIT PRIORITY AREAS.
PRIORITY DEVELOPMENT AREAS ARE
WITHIN THE BOUNDARY OF THE
CINEMA COUNTY AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL
AREA SPECIFIC PLAN SO THEY'RE
VERY LIMITED PARCELS AND IN THE
INTEREST OF FULL TRANSPARENCY
WHAT THIS REALLY GETS OUT ON THE
COUNTY SIDE.
IS OUR COUNTY CAMPUS WHICH
THAT'S WITHIN THE JURISDICTION
OF SANTA ROSA RIGHT KIND OF AT
THE TAIL END OF TURNER.
FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONTEXTUALIZE
IT EXAMPLE EXACT LOS I TO THE
ONE ON ONE IS AT THAT'S THAT
IT'S RIGHT OFF THE EXIT YOU KNOW
IT'S RIGHT OFF THE ONE ON ONE
AND IT'S ABOUT A MILE FROM THE
DOWNTOWN AREA WITHIN SANTA ROSA
SO.
THAT WOULD BE WHERE THE COUNTY
WOULD IMAGINE USING THIS RED
LEADERSHIP --
PROJECT IN THE AND NOW ON THAT
KENNY PARCELS THAT THERE ARE
VERY SPECIFIC KIND OF LINES
AROUND WHAT A REDAREA WOULD BE
IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR EVEN
CREATION OF A RED LEADERSHIP
PROJECT UNDER THIS.
SECTION TO WHICH IS THE JUDICIAL
STREAMLINING FOR THOSE AND FOR
THAT RED AREA --
AND I I WOULD I WOULD SAY THAT
THE REASON WHY AB NINE HUNDRED
FALL SHORT IN THIS IN THIS WAY
FOR US IS BECAUSE THAT IS REALLY
PROJECT FOCUSED.
AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE
IS IS AT A SO WE DON'T FIT IN
THE EIGHTY NINE HUNDRED AND WHAT
WE TRIED TO DO IS.
BE CREATIVE AND AND RESPONSIVE
TO OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS TO DO
SOME SOME IN DEPTH PLANNING ON
AN AREA BASIS THAT'S NOT JUST
KIND OF PROJECT FOCUS.
AND I WOULD SAY THAT THE SECOND
POINT WITH REGARD TO THE
STREAMLINING REQUEST IS THAT --
REALLY THE STREAMLINING IS FOR
THAT SPECIFIC PLAN THAT'S JUST
SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE AIRPORT
SO THAT THAT'S ONE CASE THAT WE
WOULD BE ASKING ASKING FOR
EXPEDITED JUDICIAL REVIEW.
THERE'S THE POSSIBILITY OF ALSO
DEVELOPING A RED AREA PLAN THAT
THAT MAY ALSO BE SUBJECT TO THAT
TO THAT STREAMLINING REQUEST
THAT WE'RE MAKING IN SECTION.
TWO BUT IT'S A VERY VERY LIMITED
WINDOW THAT WERE OPENING WITH
REGARD TO JUDICIAL STREAMLINING.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
RIGHT AYE ANOTHER.
NO WERE ASKING FOR MORE
EXEMPTIONS FOR SEEK WERE WE
DON'T HAVE THAT AGAIN THIS IS A
PLANNING RATHER THAN A PROJECT
REQUIREMENTS I THINK WE ARE
[inaudible]
OPENING OF PANDORA'S BOX AND SO
I I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS TODAY I
THINK YOU DO HAVE.
OTHER OPTIONS --
BUT I KNOW MY MY COLLEAGUES MAKE
CONSIDER THIS.
A WORTHY EXEMPTION IN THE CENTER
MONNING IT TO GIVE ME ONE SECOND --
BUT BUT I JUST THINK THERE ARE
OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU AND
THAT YOU COULD PROCEED WITH AN
EXPEDITED PROCESS.
AND I AM A LITTLE CONCERNED --
THAT THE CITY OF SANTA ROSA.
MAY NOT BE THE CITY THAT THE
PEOPLE.
OF SANTA ROSA REALLY.
I WANTED TO BE IN THE COURSE YOU
KNOW THE TRAUMA THAT THE P..
AS CITY THAT PEOPLE GO THROUGH
AS A RESULT THESE THINGS I THINK
I'M SURE THEY HAVE IN OUR AND
PEOPLE OF FRANTIC IN THEIR UNDER
INSURED IN THEIR LAND IS GONE
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BUILD AND
THEY THEY THINK THEY MIGHT WANT
TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA.
THAT ALL SORTS OF THINGS AND BUT
AT THE END OF THE DAY.
OF WE DO HAVE THIS POLICY WE
MIGHT WANT TO CHANGE SHOULD AT
SOME POINT BUT THAT'S WHAT WE'VE
GOT AND SO --
I I JUST DON'T SEE THIS FITTING
INTO ANY OTHER CRITERIA THAT ARE
ACCEPTABLE BUT AGAIN --
THE CENTER MONEY IF YOU HAVE
SOME THOUGHTS BUT I I UNDERSTAND
IF THE PEOPLE DO WANT TO VOTE
FOR THIS.
OF IDEAS I JUST THINK THAT IT IS
OPENING.

AND DISCRIMINATION AND
HARASSMENT AND ALL STATE
CONSTRUCTION TRADES.
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS I WOULD
LIKE TO START OFF BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS
MENTIONED THE AND AND THE
ANALYSIS WHICH WOULD HELP
PROVIDE GREATER CLARITY TO MAKE
THE BILL'S PROVISIONS.
MORE INCLUSIVE OF WORKERS WITH
NON BINARY GENDER IDENTITIES AND
I'D LIKE --
TO DO A SPECIAL KUDOS AND THANK
YOU TO THE COMMITTEE CAN --
COMMITTEE COUNSEL TIM GRIFFIN'S
WHO FLAG THE IMPORTANCE OF
IDENTIFYING NON BINARY
IDENTITIES AND WORKED WITH
STAKEHOLDERS TO COME UP WITH
LANGUAGE I'M REALLY JUST SUPER
THANKFUL THAT THAT THAT THAT
HAPPENED THINK YOU. FOR THE
CONTRUCTION FIELD OFFERS COULD
PAY A RETIREMENT PLAN AND HEALTH
CARE BENEFITS HOWEVER THIS FIELD
AND THESE BENEFITS ARE MOSTLY
ENJOYED BY A MALE WORKFORCE.
CURRENTLY IN CALIFORNIA WOMEN
MAKE UP ONLY TWO POINT 4% THE
BUILDING TRADES APPRENTICE.
ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS OR THE DE
AYE ARE.
IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN THERE
WERE A TOTAL OF FIFTY THREE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY
SIX APPRENTICESHIPS BUT ONLY ONE
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
FIVE OF WHOM ARE WOMEN.
THIS BILL WILL FACILITATE
OPPORTUNITIES TO RECRUIT AND
RETAIN A MORE INCLUSIVE
WORKFORCE IN THE CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY.
AS WELL AS OFFER THEM A WELL
PAYING JOB.
THIS BILL WILL ALSO BROUGHT TO
THE AUTHORITY OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS TO
OVERSEE NON DISCRIMINATE.
DOT NONDISCRIMINATION EFFORTS
AND ENSURE GREATER PROTECTIONS
AGAINST HARASSMENT AB TWENTY
THREE FIFTY EIGHT ALSO ALLOWS
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS TO
INTERVENE TO STOP HARASSMENT.
OR EVEN DISCONTINUE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH EMPLOYERS WHO
DO NOT COMPLY.
WITH THESE POLICIES OVERALL
COURAGE WOMEN.
ON A MORE INCLUSIVE ARRAY OF
CALIFORNIANS TO PURSUE A CAREER
IN CONSTRUCTION.
BY HELPING THEM FEEL SAFE AND
PROTECTED WHILE DOING THESE JOBS
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE
VOTE IN ALL ALLOW MY WITNESSES
TO INTRODUCE THEMSELVES THANK
YOU VERY GOOD TWO WITNESSES TWO
MINUTES EACH PLEASE.
MEG VASEY TRADE SUMMONING --
I'M ALSO A GRADUATE OF THE
CALIFORNIA APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM.
CLAMOR AN ELECTRIC SHOULD FOR
FORTY YEARS WITH IBEW LOCAL
THREE OF TRIO.
TO AND UP BE VERY BRIEF BECAUSE
I AM VERY RESPECTFUL OF THIS --
SENATORS TIME ON THIS COMMITTEE
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BILL IF IT
FILLS A GAP.
THAT EXISTS BETWEEN THE
APPRENTICESHIP COORDINATORS THE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS IN
CONSTRUCTION.
AND THEIR WORK SITE OBLIGATIONS
IT SETS OUT A CLEAR POLICY AND
HELPS.
PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR HOW TO
PROCEED WHEN --
PROBLEMS THAT ARISE ON THE WORK --
AND I WANT TO ALSO THINK THAT
STATE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
TRADES FOR WORKING CLOSELY AND
BEING CO SPONSORS ON THIS BILL.
AND WITHOUT THEIR LEADERSHIP --
I DON'T THINK THIS WOULD BE A
POSSIBLE I THINK IT'S A VERY
CONCRETE AND IMPORTANT EFFORT IN
A DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
AND I WANT TO A YOU KNOW
PURCHASE SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE BY MY NAME
IS CAROL CAN I AM AND THIS
REPRESENTATIVE FOR THE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
TRADES COUNCIL.
AND AS A WOMAN WHO REPRESENTS
THE BUILDING TRADES I KNOW HOW
FEW WMEN ARE ACTUALLY ON OUR
WORK SITES WE NEED MORE WOMEN ON
OUR WORK SITES.
AS I THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER ALREADY
MENTIONED THE ONLY TWO POINT 4%
OF OUR WORKFORCE CURRENTLY IS
FEMALE.
ON THIS IS A REAL SHAME BECAUSE
THERE IS A WAGE GAP BETWEEN
WOMEN AND MEN AS IT IS A WHERE
WE ARE IN ON AVERAGE.
A DOLLAR IN OTHER INDUSTRIES IN
IN IN --
CONCERT ACTION WE ACTUALLY MADE
TO NINETY TWO CENTS ON THE
DOLLAR SO THE WAGE GAP IS MUCH
SMALLER AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE.
ADVANTAGE AND HAVE ACCESS TO
THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AS WOMEN.
SO I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT
NOMINEE TWENTY FOURTEEN STUDY BY
THE US DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 88%
OF WOMEN WORKING IN THE TRADES.
REPORTED EXPERIENCING SEXUAL
HARASSMENT WORK AS COMPARED 225%
OF WOMEN IN THE GENERAL WORK
FORCE ON THIS WAS OF COURSE IS
CORROBORATED OVERNIGHT OVER
AGAIN BY ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE FROM
WOMEN IN THE TRADES AS WELL AS
LOWER LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT OF
WOMEN IN OUR INDUSTRY.
SO WHILE CLEARLY THE STANDARDS
ARE SET AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
THAT ARE WELL INTENTIONED
THEY'RE NOT DOING ENOUGH TO MAKE
CONSTRUCT INSIGHTS AFFORDABLE
SAFE AND RESPECTFUL ENVIRONMENTS
TO WOMEN WORKERS.
AND AB TWENTY THREE FIFTY EIGHT
IT'S GONNA REALLY BUILD ON THOSE
GOOD INTENTIONS PROVIDE TOOLS
AND MECHANISMS TO BOTH EMPLOYERS
THE DIR APPRENTICESHIP SPONSORS
AND OTHERS. TO MAKE OUR PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE INVESTMENTS IN
RECRUITING AND RETAINING WOMEN
TO THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
REALLY PAY DIVIDENDS TO NOT ONLY
THE ECONOMY BUT TO THE FAMILIES
OF THOSE WOMEN AND THE
COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE.
SO WE ENCOURAGE OUR SUPPORT.

TWENTY EIGHT EIGHTY SIX GOOD
EVENING BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
THIS BILL PLACES TO PUBLIC
TRANSIT AGENCIES UNDER THE
JURISDICTION OF THE PUBLIC
EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS BOARD FOR
THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATING UNFAIR.
LABOR PRACTICE DISPUTES.
GOING TO COURT AS WE KNOW CAN
READ NEED TO RESOLVE LABOR
PRACTICE DISPUTES CAN BE BOTH
TIME CONSUMING AND COSTLY.
HERBS EXPERTISE IN LABOR LAW
PROVIDES AN EXPEDITIOUS AND COST
EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO
ADJUDICATING LABOR DISPUTES WITH
ME TODAY IS VERY BROAD
REPRESENTING THE TEAMSTERS WHO
WILL SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
VERY QUICK WE WANT TO DO THIS
BECAUSE IT WILL SAVE BOTH US AND
THE EMPLOYERS MONEY.
THE THERE'S ONLY ABOUT. TEN
PUBLIC AGENCIES LEFT IN
CALIFORNIA THAT DON'T GO TO PER.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE THEY WERE THE
ORIGINAL TRANSIT DISTRICTS THAT
WHICH BACK IN THE EARLY SIXTIES
WENT FROM PRIVATE TO PUBLIC AND
THEY HAVE A LITTLE LIKE NATIONAL
LABOR RELATIONS ACT IN THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES CODE.
AND BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY YOU HAVE
TO GO TO COURT TO LITIGATE
EVERYTHING AND IT'S RIDICULOUS
FRANKLY.
WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME HOWEVER
OC T. A HERE IS A NEUTRAL ON THE
BILL.
SAN JOAQUIN IS TAKEN OPPOSE
POSITION I THINK THEY KIND OF
MISS.
ON IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANY
CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT TO DO YOU
KNOW GRIEVANCE IN ARBITRATION.
ON THEY HAVE AN ON GOING CASE
RIGHT NOW --
WE HAVE WITH THEM WHICH HAD TO
BE LITIGATED IS COSTS BOTH SIDES
SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS TO ARGUE
ABOUT A RETIREMENT ISSUE.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITH
AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM WITHIN A
ALLEN CHECK.
IN AND IT JUST SEEMS GIVEN THE
COURTS YOU KNOW IT'S SORT OF
TIME TO DO THIS TO LEVERAGE IN
AYE VOTE THANK YOU THANK YOU
WITH THEIR OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
OTHER WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
RIGHT PLEASE COME FORWARD.
MEDICARE MEMBERS JOSHUA SHAW WAS
SHUTTER INTO IT FOR THE SAN
JOAQUIN REGIONAL TRANSIT
DISTRICT I THINK WE GET THE BILL
PRETTY WELL --
WE DON'T S. I DISAGREE THAT IT'S
TIMELY AND COSTLY TO COST TIME
AND MONEY TO GO TO COURT ALL THE
TIME.
OUR EXPERIENCE THOUGH IS THE
OPPOSITE IN FACT BESIDES THE ONE
CASE THAT MISTER BROAD MENTIONED --
TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF OUR GENERAL
MANAGER AT THE SAN JOAQUIN
REGIONAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.
OVER THE LAST SEVENTEEN YEARS
WE'VE BEEN IN COURT ONCE ON AN
ISSUE RELATED TO OUR PARTNERS.
IN LABOR INFECTED DISTRICT%
BROUGHT THE SUIT RELATIVE
COMPOSITION OF THE RETIREMENT
BOARD WHICH IS REALLY A
STATUTORY CONSTRUCTION ISSUE
IT'S NOT UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES
ISSUE.
IN OTHER WORDS A LABOR UNION
THERE'S NEVER BROUGHT THE
DISTRICT TO COURT BECAUSE THEY
DISAGREED WITH AN ARBITRATOR'S
DECISION.
WHICH IS A PROCESS THAT IS GIVEN
TO US BY OUR PUBLIC UTILITIES
CODE ENABLING STATUTE OR NOT IN
HER MYERS MILIUS BROWN WE
THEREFORE DON'T GO TO PER.
THIS BILL WOULD OVERLAY THE PERM
SITUATION ON OUR CURRENT REALLY
STREAMLINED REALLY EFFECTIVE
APPARENTLY BECAUSE WE HAVE NEVER
BEEN LITIGATED AGAINST ON UNFAIR
BUT IN SEVENTEEN YEARS TO MY
KNOWLEDGE.
ON UNFAIR LABOR PRACTICES ACT SO
WE WOULD NOTE --
AS THE AUTHOR IN THE IN THE IN
THE SPONSOR SAID SINCE --
CTA IS NOT OPPOSED TO THE BILL
WHAT ARE YOU TAKING AMENDMENT
TONIGHT TO TAKE SAN JOAQUIN OUT
OF THE BILL AND I'LL STOP
TALKING AND WE CAN GET ON WITH
THE REST OF THE HEARING.
OTHERWISE WE'D ASK YOU TO OPPOSE
THE BILL.
BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE'S OF
REQUESTED THE I DON'T THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE ACCEPTED BUT EITHER
OF THE WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION --
COULD YOU RESPOND TO ME MISTER
DALY TO THEIR CLAIM THAT THE
THEY DON'T NEED TO BE PART OF
THIS PROCESS.
HERE I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE --
AS WAS STATED BY MYSELF AND MR
BRODA.
WE FEEL THIS IS A MORE
EXPEDITIOUS APPROACH.
FOR LABOR RELATIONS FOR A PUBLIC
AGENCY.
ALRIGHT A ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE
DOLLARS SENATOR MORLOCK.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR A
COLLEAGUES A NEITHER OF THESE
AGENCIES REQUESTED. TO HAVE THIS --
IMPOSED ON THEM AND AND YOU KNOW

YOU KNOW A PARRIS KENNEY
CRAMMING DOWN SOMETHING ON IT
ONTO AGENCIES.
WHEN MANAGER SHOULD MANAGE AND
THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND?

LET'S SEE OUT EXCUSE ME MISTER
DALE YOU HAVE ANOTHER BILL OF
FILE ITEM I THINK IT'S FIFTY
FOUR A. B. --
THREE OH SIX EIGHT PLEASE
PROCEED THANK YOU THIS IS MY
SECOND AND LAST BILL.
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS COUNTY
AUDITOR CONTROLLERS PLAY A VITAL
ROLE IN PROTECTING TAXPAYERS BY
EVALUATING THE FINANCIAL
DECISIONS AND SPENDING WITHIN
THEIR COUNTIES [inaudible]
UNFORTUNATELY OCCASIONALLY SOME
AUDITOR CONTROLLERS HAVE FACED
RETALIATION AND INTIMIDATION
AFTER THEY QUESTION THE LEGALITY
OF CERTAIN PAYMENTS.
THIS BILL PROVIDES AUDITOR
CONTROLLERS THE ABILITY TO SEEK
OUTSIDE COUNSEL.
WHEN A CONFLICT OF OPINION AND
OR A CONFLICT OF INTEREST?
BETWEEN THE AUDITOR CONTROLLER
AND COUNTY COUNCIL ARISES.
WITH ME TODAY IS MATT CYBERLINK
REPRESENTING THE STATE
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTY AUDITORS
WHO WERE. ONE OF THE SPONSORS OF
THE BILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOOD EVENING
GOOD EVENING OUT NOT IN TURN
MEMBERS MATTHEW CYBERLINK ON
BEHALF OF THE STATE ASSOCIATION
OF COUNTY AUDITOR'S --
NOT TO BELABOR THE POINT THERE'S
NUMEROUS EXAMPLESIN THE
ANALYSIS OF THE RARE INSTANCES
WHERE COUNTY AUDITORS HAVE FOUND
THEMSELVES IN A POSITION OF
CONFLICT WITH THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS.
AND HAD TO RESORT TO USING THE
SAME ATTORNEY TO RESOLVE THAT
CONFLICT.
THIS BILL PUTS THEM IN THE SAME
POSITION AS COUNTY ASSESSORS AND
CAL AND I COUNTY SHERIFF'S Y. TO
APPROACH PRESIDING JUDGE TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THERE
IS A CONFLICT.
I HAVE AN INDEPENDENT COUNSEL
ASSIGNED TO THAT OUGHT TO BE
USED TO A TO RESOLVE THAT ISSUE.
THAT WE RESPECT YOUR QUESTION
RIVAL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THEIR
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION ANY
CONVERSATION FROM THE FLOOR. FOR
FROM THE DYESS RATHER SENATOR
MORE LOOK.
CUTE.
MADAM CHAIR I JUST HAVE A LOT OF
FUN WITH ASSUME WHEN DALY DENIED
CARE --
COLLEAGUES AT OTHER CONTROLLERS
GONNA.
PROTECT TAXPAYER DOLLARS
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY'RE
ELECTED OR THEIR APPOINTED --
AND THIS IS SORT OF WHICH YOU
SERVING A FAMILY FIGHT GOING ON
IN IN ORANGE COUNTY --
BUT I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED I
JUST TO CLARIFY THAT THAT THE
COMMENT WAS MADE THAT.
SURE OF SINN ASSESSORS ARE
ALLOWED TO GET THEIR OWN
INDEPENDENT COUNSEL THAT'S
BECAUSE ABOUT THIRTY YEARS AGO
THEY DID A BALLOT MEASURE. TO
MAKE THEMSELVES CONSTITUTIONAL
OFFICERS --
UNDER CONTROLLERS AND TREASURE
TAX COLLECTORS WERE INVITED TO
PARTICIPATE IN THAT BALLOT
MEASURE.
AND THE DECLINE AND SO NOW D.
A.'S I WAS SURE ABSENT AND
ASSESSORS ARE.
YOU KNOW PROTECTED CONSCIOUSLY
WHO WANT TO CHANGE THEIR OFFICES
COULD TAKE A STATEWIDE BALLOT.
FROM.
BUT I I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS
KIND OF THIS BILL IS CREATING
ATTENTION --
AND AND IT'S CAUSING MY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS TO LOOK AT
CONSOLIDATING.
THE OFFICES AND AND I DON'T
THINK WE NEED TO GET TO THAT
LEVEL.
AFTER IT AND AND BUT BUT THIS IS
SORT OF LIKE LIGHTER FLUID.
AND SO I I SEE WHAT.
I SEE WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE BUT BUT I ALSO
SEE THAT THERE WILL BE
REVERBERATIONS AND REPERCUSSIONS
AND THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO TRY
AND AVOID SO THAT COLLEAGUES.
I I WILL BE OPPOSED TO THIS BILL.
THANK THANK YOU VERY MUCH
SENATOR WIECKOWSKI.
SPILLED PLACE TO ALL FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES NOT JUST ORANGE COUNTY
RIGHT THIS IS A IS YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO COUNSEL IF THERE'S A IF

THAT CD TO TRY TO COME UP WITH A
BETTER PROGRAM AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'VE DONE HERE.
SO IT'S STILL A TEN DOLLAR PER
SPACE.
FEE THAT WILL BE COLLECTED AND
WE'RE STILL COLLECTING IT FOR
YEAR BEFORE THE PROGRAM STARTS.
THIS IS THE SAME AS LOW AS THE
BILL LAST YEAR.
AND THEN THERE'S A THREE YEAR
SUNSET ON IT SO THAT WE CAN
REALLY SEE IF HOW THE PROGRAM
WORKS IT SUBMITS MODELED IN SOME
WAYS.
ON WHAT WASHINGTON OREGON OTHER
STATES HAVE BEEN DOING TO TRY
AND GIVE REMEDIES TO MOBILE HOME
RESIDENTS WHO ARE NOT BEING
TREATED FAIRLY UNDER THE MOBILE
HOME RESIDENTS WHO LIVE.
BUT INSTEAD OF HAVING A STATE
AGENCY THAT AND BE.
A MEDIATOR OR ADJUDICATE WHAT A
CD WILL DO UNDER THIS PLAN.
IS TO TAKE THE THE WORST
OFFENDERS THE WORST CASES AND
THEN REFER THEM OUT TO LEGAL
SERVICES UNDER CONTRACT WITH
EIGHT CD. FOR THE MONEY THAT'S
BEING RAISED.
AND THAT'S BEEN COLLECTED THAT
ULTIMATELY PUT IN THIS FACILITY
WILL THEN BE USED TO PAY FOR
THESE LEGAL SERVICES.
THAT'S AT LEAST A WAY TO GIVE
SOME OF THE MOBILE HOME
RESIDENTS ACCESS TO JUSTICE
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD WITH
RESPECT TO THE PRK OWNERS.
AND THE MOBILE HOME OWNERS WHO
ARE IN THOSE PARKS WHO'D BEEN
WORKING VERY CLOSE WITH A CD
WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO
TRY.
AND DO SOMETHING THAT WE THINK
HE WILL ULTIMATELY SIGNED OTHER
THAN THAT THIS IS VERY VERY
SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS ACCEPTED BY
THE LEGISLATURE LAST YEAR WE GOT
OVER THE GOVERNOR'S DESK AND
WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT.
AND YOUR AYE VOTE ON THIS BILL.
THANK YOU OF GOOD EVENING TO OUR
WITNESSES TWO INUTES EACH.
GOOD EVENING CHAIR AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE.
MY NAME IS MICHELLE SMITH.
AND THE STATEWIDE PRESIDENT OF
GSM OR WELL GOLDEN STATE
MANUFACTURED HOMEOWNERS LEAD THE
LARGEST ORGANIZATION OF MOBILE
AND MANUFACTURED HOME OWNERS IN
THE STATE.
ACCORDING TO THE STATE'S OWN
NUMBERS THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY
ONE MILLION OF US IN CALIFORNIA.
WE ARE DIVERSE WITH DIFFERING
VIEWS BUT OUR TYPE OF HOUSING
TELLS ARE COMMON UNIFIED STORY.
AS SENIORS VETERANS AND
IMMIGRANT FAMILIES WE'VE
EXPERIENCED MANY OF LIFE'S
STRUGGLES AND REALIZE WE ARE
BLESSED TO HAVE A MODEST ROOF
OVER OUR HEADS.
BUT WE ARE NOT NAIVE WE KNOW WE
ARE JUST ONE STEP REMOVED FROM
BECOMING HOMELESS. FORTY YEARS
AGO GOVERNOR BROWN SIGNED THE
MOBILE HOME RESIDENCY LAW ALSO
KNOWN AS THE MRPL BUT TODAY
FORTY YEARS LATER TO HOMEOWNERS
WHO CANNOT AFFORD AN ATTORNEY.
THIS CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW IS
SIMPLY WORDS ON A PIECE OF PAPER.
THE EMERALD CAME INTO BEING
BECAUSE THE STATE UNDERSTOOD THE
VALUE OF MOBILE HOMES AS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
STATE ALSO RECOGNIZE OUR HOUSING
WAS UNIQUELY VULNERABLE BECAUSE
WE OWN OUR HOMES BUT PAY PARK
OWNERS MONTHLY RENT FOR THE LAND
ARE HOME SIT ON UNLIKE OTHERS
WHO MAY BE MISTREATED BY THEIR
LANDLORDS WE CAN'T JUST MOVE OUR
HOMES.
UNDER THIS BILL THE STATE WILL
SORT THROUGH OUR COMPLAINTS CAN
IDENTIFY THE MOST EGREGIOUS.
AB THIRTY SIXTY SIX WILL HELP
PREVENT THE VICTIMS OF SENIORS
TRICKERY ON IMMIGRANTS RUN
AROUND ON VETERANS AND CLEAR
BLATANT VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW.
TOO MUCH POWER IN ONE HAND AND
NO CONSEQUENCES FOR FOUL PLAY
CREATES A CULTURE OF ABUSE AND
THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING HOLE
ACROSS OUR STATE.
MANY OF YOU VOTED FOR A BI
TWELVE SIXTY NINE LAST YEAR AND
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THOSE
WHO DIDN'T WE ASK YOU NOW TO
RECONSIDER BECAUSE WE WORKED
VERY HARD WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION. TO DEVELOP A NEW
APPROACH.
A. B. THIRTY SIXTY SIX BECAUSE
THE COMPROMISE.
WE ARE PROUD OF IT IT REFLECTS
OUR VALUES IT IS A MODEST SIMPLE
AND PAID FOR US.
PAID FOR BY US.
NOT BY THE STATE AND NOT BY THE
PARK OWNERS BUT BY US WE ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS HEARING
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE ON BROUGH STANTON --
CORPORATE COUNSEL FOR GSM WELL
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING MOBILE HOME
LAW.
REPRESENTING RESIDENTS FOR ABOUT
THIRTY FIVE YEARS A VERY BRIEF
ILLUSTRATION IF I MAY.
I HAVE CLIENTS WHO WERE IN THE
EARLY EIGHTIES WHO HAD LIVED IN
A MOBILE HOME FOR MANY YEARS AND
NEEDED TO RELOCATE TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA FROM COLUMBIA BECAUSE
OF HEALTH ISSUES.
THEY FOUND A BUYER.
GOT INTO ESCROW AND PARKER THEN
TELLS THEM SORRY YOU CAN'T SELL
THE HOME IN PLACE BECAUSE IT'S
TOO OLD THAT IT'S TO HAZARDOUS.
A DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE MOBILE
ON RESIDENCY LAW.
WATER THEY TO DO LUCKILY FOR
THEM THEIR KIDS HAD MONEY AND
THREE DAYS OF JURY TRIAL AND
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS LATER.
WE WON THE CASE AND THEY WERE
ABLE TO SELL THEIR HOME AND SEE
THEIR INVESTMENT.
MOST MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS ARE
NOT SO LUCKY THEY DON'T HAVE
ACCESS TO THOSE KIND OF FUNDS.
AND I SEE ALL KINDS OF ABUSES TO
THE MRO THE ISSUES OF RULES
VIOLATIONS --
YOU KNOW UPGRADES REQUEST AND
RESALE INTERFERENCE WITH RESALE
LOCKING RESIDENTS OUT OF THE
CLUBHOUSE.
THESE ARE THE ISSUES THAT
PROMPTED THE NINTH CIRCUIT COURT
OF APPEAL TO SAY THAT THE PARK
OWNER HAS MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS
OVER A BARREL.
THE PLAYING FIELD IS NOT LEVEL
WE ASK YOU TO HELP US LEVEL THE
PLAYING FIELD AND ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF THEIR ANY
OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT IF
THEY WOULD COME FORWARD PLEASE
AND THANK YOU.

ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
GOOD EVENING [inaudible]
IT WILL --
CLOSE IS NOT GOOD MORNING
[inaudible]
NOT YET --
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS CATHARINE
BOARD WITH THE WESTERN
MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES
ASSOCIATION WE'RE IN OPPOSITION
A. B.. THREE ZERO SIX SIX IT
WOULD HAVE GOTTEN AMENDED WEEK
AGO -- THERE
IS ABSOLUTELY NO --
RIGHT TO CURE IN THE BILL AND WE
RESPECTFULLY PUBS.
THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS
[inaudible]
SENATOR MONNING.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR ON I THINK
THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD IN THOSE WHO'VE TRAVELED
HERE.
TO OFFER YOUR SUPPORT.
I HAVE A QUESTION ON THE THE THE
FEE GOES INTO A FUND THAT
SUPPORTS.
PROVIDING LEGAL REPRESENTATION
[inaudible]
DOES ANY.
A HOMEOWNER WHO PAYS THAT FEE OR
THEY GUARANTEED.
AN ATTORNEY AND ARE THERE ARE
THERE LIMITATIONS ON HOW THIS
WORKS THERE ARE LIMITATIONS ON
FORT LEE THEY'RE NOT THERE.
LIMITATIONS BECAUSE THE OVERALL
AMOUNT THAT'S BEING RAISED SO
WIDE EIGHT CD WILL DO.
COLLECT THE FEES AND THEN TAKE
THE MOST EGREGIOUS CASES REFER
THOSE OUT TO LEGAL SERVICES
ORGANIZATIONS BUT THEY WILL HAVE
CONTRACTED WITH THE GO SOLVE
THOSE PROBLEMS.
IT'S ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS VERY
INTERESTED IN THEIR CONCERNED.
ABOUT HAVING ENOUGH MONEY TO
SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND CONCERNED
ABOUT.
POTENTIALLY A LARGE NUMBER OF
CASES SO WE'VE LIMITED BY THE
THREE YEARS THAT WE'VE LIMITED
BY NOT OBLIGING EIGHT CD TO TAKE
EVERY CASE BUT JUST TO TAKE THE
MOST EGREGIOUS AND WE STILL
THINK THAT THAT WILL BE
EFFECTIVE.
BECAUSE THERE'S REALLY NO REMEDY
FOR THESE MOBILE HOME OWNERS
RIGHT NOW AND IF THEY'RE ABLE TO
TAKE THE PARK OWNERS TO TASK FOR
THEIR BAD BEHAVIOR.
THEN HOPEFULLY THAT WILL START
TO CHANGE THE CULTURE IN THE WAY
THAT -- PARK
OWNERS TREAT THE HOMEOWNERS IN
THOSE PARKS BECAUSE THERE STILL
IS THAT POSSIBILITY SO THE
SCREENING WOULD.
TRY TO APPLY THOSE LIMITED
RESOURCES TO CASES THAT MIGHT
HAVE BROADER IMPACT IN THE ONE
INDIVIDUAL.
THAT'S CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT
AND REMEMBER THIS IS A FEE THAT
THE THE HOMEOWNERS ARE GREEN.
PAY FOR THEMSELVES BECAUSE THEY
SEE THIS AS A BENEFIT ACROSS THE
STATE PLUS.
IT'S A LIMIT OF LIMITED DURATION
SO AFTER THE THREE YEARS WILL
HAVE A REAL CHANCE TO SEE HOW
MANY WHAT KIND OF RESULTS WE
HAVE.
MAYBE THEN WE COULD ARGUE TO
EXPAND IT IF WE CAN EXPAND IT
THEY TRY AND FIND SOME OTHER
FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO AUGMENT BUT
THIS WILL LET US KNOW HOW THE
PROGRAM WORKS.
WILL GIVE SOME COMFORT TO THE
ADMINISTRATION ANSWER SOME OF
THEIRTHEIR QUESTIONS THEY
RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM BUT WHAT
WE NEED TO DO IS QUANTIFY AND
KIND OF QUALIFY.
HOW WE ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE
MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS A LAW?
AND NOTHING IN THIS WOULD
PROHIBIT RESIDENT FROM RETAINING
THEIR OWN COUNSEL.
ON HIM THAT'S CORRECT I DON'T
HAVE TO EXHAUST THIS REMEDY FOR
STIR THOUGH NOT ALL THEY THEY
CAN RETAIN THEIR OWN COUNSEL
THEY CAN GO TO LOCALLY LEGAL AID
SERVICES.
IF THEY WANTED TO IF THOSE
SERVICES WERE AVAILABLE BUT WERE
LOT OF THESE PARKS EXIST THOSE
SERVICES ARE NOT NECESSARILY
AVAILABLE TO A TV IS GOING TO
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE.
FINDING THE RIGHT CASES AND
FINDING AN ORGANIZATION THAT
WILL THEN BE THEY'LL BE OF THE
CONTRACT WITH TO GO REPRESENT
THAT MOBILE HOMEOWNER.
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOUR
PERSISTENCE IN BRINGING THIS
BACK -- MAN
I'M SURE I'M PREPARED TO MOVE
THE BILL AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME
THINKING.
YES AND I WOULD I WANT TO THANK
YOUS WEALTH I WAS DISAPPOINTED
WHEN THE GOVERNOR VETOED THAT
BILL LAST YEAR DISHONOR TO
CARRIED FORTY ON THE SENATE
FLOOR.
AND A PUT THIS A VERY INNOVATIVE
APPROACH I THINK I THINK THIS
REALLY.
FOCUSES ON PROVIDING TRUE ACCESS
USING EXISTING REMEDIES RATHER
IN CREATING NEW ONES AND I THINK
IT ALSO ENSURES THAT THE PROGRAM
WOULD BE ON SOUND FISCAL FOOTING.
THE FOLKS WHO LIVE IN THESE
MOBILE HOME FACILITIES CAN'T
MATCH.
DOLLARS --
WITH SEED MANAGEMENT NOT TO SHIP
AND THEREFORE AT A DISTINCT
DISADVANTAGE XIN.
I THINK THIS WILL HELP LEVEL THE
PLAYING FIELD SO FIVE OF APPLIED
TO FOR THE BILL AND THE CREATIVE
APPROACH OF TAKEN SO WITH THAT.
LET'S GO AHEAD AND CALL THE THE
VOTED SO MOTIONS TO PASSED THE
SENATE APPROPRIATIONS.

QUESTION ALRIGHT SENATOR
HERTZBERG WHAT LEVELS OF
PROTECTIONS ARE THERE IN THIS
BILL THESE THE KINDS OF THINGS
ALWAYS SOUND GOOD BUT I WAS IN
PRIVATE PRACTICE.
I HAD A COMPANY THAT HAD ONE
REALLY SOMEPLACE AND BECAUSE AT
A BUNCH LOCATIONS GOT SUED FOR
SEVEN POINT THREE BILLION
DOLLARS --
JUST TO JAM UP AND THIS AND IT
WAS FINALLY SETTLED BY THE
TURNING GENERAL THAN JERRY BROWN
FOR NINETEEN MILLION BECAUSE HE
SAW THAT IT WAS JUST NOISE.
BUT I'M TRYING TO DO IS YOU
WRITE THESE NUMBERS DOWN THE
STATUE LIMITATIONS IS FIVE YEARS
YOU AT TIMES A NUMBER OF
LOCATIONS IT AGAINST THE HAS FOR
AN ACCIDENTAL RELEASE.
THE OF THE DEFINITION OF WHAT
CONSTITUTES A RELEASE AND YOU
GET THIS BEHAVIOR THAT --
DOESN'T REALLY RESULT IN
SOMETHING THAT THAT WAS THAT
PUNISHMENT MEETS THE CRIME AND
IN MY CASE THEY WERE SPEND THE
MILLION DOLLARS A TO TO DEFEND
IT WHICH OUT OVER YEARS WHICH
ULTIMATELY WHEN JERRY BROWN GOT
A HOLD OF IT.
AND LOOKED AT IT.
BUSTER SETTLED FOR REGIONAL
MATTERS WHAT I'M TRYING
UNDERSTAND.
YOU'RE MAKING THESE CHANGES AND
I I KNOW THAT OFTENTIMES
INSTITUTIONS DON'T HAVE
OPPOSITION BUT YOU KNOW WE WE
AREN'T.
A POTTED PLANTS AS LEGISLATORS
WE HAVE EXPERIENCE AND I I'M
TRYING TO LOOK AT THE BENEFIT OF
THAT EXPERIENCE AS IT RELATES TO
THIS BILL.
YES SENATOR --
IN THESE SERVE PENALTIES ARE
PRIMARILY USED AS TO SEEK
COMPLIANCE RATHER THAN TO PUNISH --
THEY ARE ADMINISTERED BY.
SOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENTS AND OTHER --
THE FIRST RESPONDERS THAT SAID
THAT PERMIT INSPECTING TO FORCE
THESE SIR HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
PROGRAMS AND SO I HAVE NOT I'M
NOT AWARE OF ANY CASE WHERE.
THERE'S BEEN --
YOU KNOW THAT THAT THE TYPE OF
FOR OF PENALTIES --
ASSESS AND AND OF THE LINER
STATUTORY VIOLATIONS NOT.
