VOTERS THIS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
SENATORS.
SO THIS IS A BILL THAT WE HAD
TRIED LAST YEAR.
WITH RESPECTED YOU WILL
COMPENSATE PASSED ALL THE WAY
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE AND WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS.
TO ENSURE THAT.
KIDS WHO ARE JUDGED INCOMPETENT
HAVE A SPECIFIC TIMELINE THAT
THEY EITHER.
GET SERVICES OR HAVE THEIR CASE
DEALT WITH BECAUSE TOO OFTEN IN
JUVENILE COURTS [inaudible]
THE HOLDING A KID IN JUVENILE
HALL.
TENDS TO BE THE ONLY SOLUTION
KIDS LANGUAGE WITHOUT SERVICES
KIDS LANGUAGE WITHOUT ANY PLACE
TO GO OR ANY REAL DIRECTION.
SO THIS BILL WENT THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE LAST YEAR AND
UNFORTUNATELY.
THE GOVERNOR VETOED IT AND WHAT
HE WAS CONCERNED WORK VERY
SERIOUS OR VIOLENT SEVEN TO
SEVEN BE OFFENDERS.
SO WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO
ADDRESS THAT ISSUE AND ENSURE
THAT THAT.
THE GOVERNOR'S IS CONCERNS WERE
SATISFIED AND TRY AND MAKE SURE
THAT WE PROTECT SOME OF THE THE
MOST VULNERABLE KIDS AND KIND OF
PUSH COUNTIES TO ENSURE THAT
DAY.
SERVICES ARE DELIVERED TO THOSE
KIDS WHO ARE DECLARED
INCOMPETENT AND THAT'S EITHER
THROUGH.
LACK OF MATURITY DEVELOPMENTAL
DELAYS.
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ANY NUMBER
OF REASONS FOR THOSE KIDS BUT
HOLDING A JUVENILE HALL MOST OF
THESE KIDS IS FOR MORE
DETRIMENTAL.
THAN IT IS.
TO PUSH THE COUNTIES TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUES AND CLEAR OF TIMELINE
SO THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE THOSE.
YOU WANTED YOUR WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT SPEAK.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
DANIEL SANCHEZ ON BEHALF OF THE
CHIEF PROBATION OFFICERS OF
CALIFORNIA A VERY PLEASED TO BE
A SPONSORING CONTINUE OUR WORK
WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER STONE ON
THIS.
I JUST BRIEFLY I I WOULD NOTE
THAT THIS REALLY IS ABOUT
PROVIDING DUE PROCESS TO THE
YOUTH IN OUR SYSTEM.
ON THERE ARE TIME LINES AND
PROCESSES IN THE ADULT SIDE ON
THAT GOVERN OUR COMPETENCY
PROCEEDINGS ON THIS BILL IS
SEEKING TO MAKE SURE THAT
SIMILARLY WE ARE --
PROVIDING AND AFFORDING
PROCESSES FOR YOUTH IN OUR
SYSTEM THAT ARE DIED DEEMED
INCOMPETENT AND THEN GETTING
THEM THE SERVICES THEY NEED
OPTED TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE NOT
--
POTENTIALLY DE COMPENSATING FOR
IN A VERY HARD AND VERY
DILIGENTLY ON ADDRESSING ON THE
CONCERNS AROUND THESE MORE
SERIOUS AND AND VIOLENT
PETITIONS ON AND WE BELIEVE
WE'VE --
STRUCK SOME SOME --
IMPORTANT BALANCE THERE AND SO
AT THIS TIME ALL INTRODUCED AND
TURN I OVER TO CHIEF ALLEN
NANCE WHO'S THE CHIEF PROBATION
OFFICER OVER US IN FRANCISCO
JUVENILE PROBATION DEPARTMENT.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I THINK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY THIS
MORNING ON THIS REALLY
IMPORTANT.
BILL ARE AND I DON'T WANT TO
THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER STONE FOR
HIS LEADERSHIP --
IN FOR HAVING ME HERE WITH HIM
THIS MORNING --
AS YOU KNOW CALIFORNIA HAS MADE
SIGNIFICANT STRIDES IN REDUCING
THE NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE THAT
ARE ARRESTED --
IN OUR STATE THAT ARE GOING TO
OUR JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND
IN CUSTODY.
OVER 90% OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE --
ASSIGNED T OUR JUVENILE
PROBATION DEPARTMENTS ARE SERVED
IN OUR COMMUNITIES --
WHERE THERE IS SUPPORT?
WHERE THERE ARE RESOURCES WHERE
THERE ARE AGENCIES TERRACE IS IT
WOULD BE TRAINED AND SKILLED TO
PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT THEY
NEED?
TOWARD REHABILITATION.
ARE WE BELIEVE THAT THE EVIDENCE
BASED PROGRAMMING THAT'S
PROVIDED IN THE COMMUNITY IS A
BETTER ALTERNATIVE TO WHAT
HAPPENS IN OUR JUVENILE HALLS.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN YOUNG
PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESSES ARE
DETAINED IN JUVENILE HALLS THEY
DE COMPENSATE.
THEY GET WORSE.
AND TO KEEP THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE
IN CUSTODY ONLY PAYS TOWARD
FUTURE RECIDIVISM.
AND SO I URGE YOU TO PORT.
AT THE FACT THAT ALTERNATIVES TO
INCARCERATION FOR INCOMPETENT
YOU.
ARE SMART ABOUT CRIME.
IT PROVIDES US WITH
OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE AND
CREATE BETTER OUTCOMES FOR OUR
YOUNG PEOPLE.
YOU'VE HEARD FROM ASSEMBLY
MEMBER STONE.
AS TO HOW THIS LEGISLATION
ADDRESSES THE ISSUES THAT ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITIES.
AS A PRACTITIONER I WANT TO TELL
YOU [inaudible]
THAT.
I RECOGNIZE THAT OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE DON'T DO WELL WHEN THEY
ARE IN OUR JUVENILE HALLS FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
THE SAD TRUTH IS THAT YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO ARE INCOMPETENT DON'T
HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES AS
ADULTS WHO WE DEEM INCOMPETENT
AS WELL.
IN THIS BILL.
PROVIDES US WITH AN OPPORTUNITY
TO EQUALIZE TO PLAYING FIELD AND
TO PROVIDE.
GOOD PUBLIC POLICY.
SERVE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO NEED OUR
SUPPORT THE MOST [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
MRS ASSEMBLY MEMBER STONE'S ITEM
NUMBER.
FIVE BUT CHAIR MEMBERS
DANVILLE'S OUT ON BEHALF OF THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE --
OUR OFFICE.
IS 1000% IN AGREEMENT WITH THE
PROBATION CHIEFS AND THE
ASSEMBLY MEANT THAT.
THE JUVENILE WHO HAS COMPETENCY
ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE DETAINED IN
A JUVENILE FACILITY FROM
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME BECAUSE
RIGHT.
IF A JUVENILE HAS A A MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUE A IT'S NOT A GREAT
PLACE THE SERVICES TRADITIONALLY
PROVIDED BY THE COUNTIES. FOR
JUVENILE RESTORATION A
COMPETENCY ARE ALSO NOT AS A
SUCCESSFUL OR EVEN.
FUNDED AS WELL AS THOSE FOR
ADULTS.
OUR CONCERN WITH THE BILL IS
THAT THIS SETS UP A VERY
DIFFERENT [inaudible]
PRESIDENT OF FOR JUVENILES
VERSES ADULTS.
IN THAT IF A JUVENILE ISN'T
RESTORED TO COMPENSATE WITHIN A
SPECIFIED PERIOD.
RATHER THAN HAVING THE CASE --
BASICALLY PAUSED AND THE
JUVENILE [inaudible]
EITHER.
SENT TO A HOME A REGIONAL CENTER
ANY OF THIS PLACES THAT ARE
PROVIDING THE BILL.
IT REQUIRES IN SOME CASES AND
ALLOWS AND OTHERS.
THE CASE TO BE DISMISSED BEFORE
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS
EXPIRED.
THE ADULT SYSTEM DOESN'T DO THAT
AND THERE'S NO REASON IF THE
JUVENILES OUT OF THE JUVENILE
FACILITY JUVENILE HALL.
A FOR THE CASE TO BE
[inaudible]
PREMATURELY DISMISSED.
BECAUSE A LOT OF CASES IF IT'S A
MATURITY ISSUE.
OF THAT CAN RESOLVE ITSELF A IN
TIME A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE
A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.
BUT IT JUVENILE HASN'T BEEN
RESTORED IN THE STATURE RUNS OF
COURSE THE CASE HAS TO BE
DISMISSED.
BUT IF A JUVENILE.
CAN BE RESTORED --
BEFORE THE STATUTE RUNS THAT
THERE'S NO REASON. TO DISMISS
THE CASE IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEM THAT THE PROBATION
CHIEFS HAVE REYES --
WE UNDERSTAND OBVIOUSNESS BILL
WAS GIVEN CREDIT IN AMENDED --
AND SO WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE
ASSEMBLYMAN AND THE SPONSORS OF
AS THE BILL MOVES FORWARD.
OF WE JUST A CONCERNED ABOUT
LIKE SAY A THEY'RE BEING AND
NEED FOR PAY DISMISSAL CASE THIS
DOES NOT OCCUR.
IN THE ADULT SYSTEM PREMATURELY
SO FOR THOSE REASONS WERE
CONCERNED.
DO YOU WANNA MATTHEWS ON THE
HALF THE CALIFORNIA DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION WHILE WE
SHARE THE GOAL OF HELPING
MENTALLY ILL MINERS THE BRUNT OF
THIS PROPOSAL GOES TOO FAR.
AB.
TWELVE FOURTEEN MISSION IN WHICH
ONLY MISDEMEANORS PRIOR ALLEGED.
THIS MANDATORY DISMISSAL GOES
TOO FAR BECAUSE THESE TYPES OF
SITUATIONS SHOULD BE DETERMINED
ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
THE COURT WOULD ALSO BE REQUIRED
TO DISMISS FELONY CHARGES IF THE
SERVICE PROVIDER BELIEVES.
NOT A MINOR IS UNLIKELY TO YOUR
STORED WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
NOTHING IN THE BILL LIMITS THE
TYPE OF FELONIES FOR WHICH THIS
WOULD APPLY.
WHILE THERE IS A PROVISION FOR
AN ADDITIONAL YEAR OF
CONFINEMENT.
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS CHARGED
WITH A VIOLENT FELONY LIKE RAPE
OR MURDER.
STILL HAVE HIS OR HER CHARGES
DISMISSED WITHIN A RELATIVELY
SHORT TIME.
IF THE DEFENSE ALLEGED THEN A
MINOR IS INCOMPETENT BEFORE A
FITNESS HEARING OCCURS.
A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS MINOR
COULD BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC
WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
AS BRITAIN AB TWELVE FOURTEEN
REQUIRES AN INCOMPETENT MINORS
ACCUSED OF MURDER.
AND WAS UNDERGONE ONLY EIGHTEEN
MONTHS OF TREATMENT IMMEDIATELY
BE PLACED SOMEWHERE BESIDES
JUVENILE HALL.
IT IS UNCLEAR EXACTLY WHERE THE
ALTERNATIVE PLEASE WOULD BE.
IT IS PROBABLE THAT SOME VIOLENT
AND DANGEROUS JUVENILES WOULD
MERELY JUST BE SENT HOME.
IN ADDITION TO THESE POLICY
CONCERNS THIS BILL PROVIDES NO
FUNDING MECHANISM TO ENSURE THAT
THESE CHRONICALLY MENTALLY ILL.
MINORS WILL RECEIVE
REHABILITATIVE TREATMENT AFTER
THE CRIMINAL CASES ARE
DISMISSED.
WE DON'T SEE HOW THIS BILL WOULD
ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY AND FOR
THESE REASONS WE ARE OPPOSED
REQUEST YOU KNOW VOTE.
OTHER WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION --
THERE THERE WERE THERE ANY
WITNESSES AND SUPPORT THAT WERE
UNABLE TO SPEAK.
FOR YES THANK YOU CHARACTER
BUYERS CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
DEFENDERS ASSOCIATION.
WE SUPPORT THIS BILL IT'S REALLY
VERY IMPORTANT TO BRING.
SOME CERTAINTY IN SOME CLARITY
TO BE A JUVENILE.
INCOMPETENCY PROCESS.
WE THINK THIS BILL DOES THAT
IT'S IT'S NOT PERFECT BUT I IT
GOES A LONG WAY AND IT SHOULD BE
SUPPORTED.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES.
ALL RIGHT --
I HAVE.
A COMMENT THE PROVISION --
THAT.
YOU RIP AT MISTER BILL SOLDERS
THAT YOU AND REFERENCED.
WHEN YOU ARE ALSO REFERENCE TO
GOT NEWMAN AND?
THIS IS --
IT.
TRUE THAT THIS BILL BEFORE US IS
A GODLY MEN BUT IT IS --
SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR'S AND THAT
PROVISION REGARDING STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS WAS IN THE BILL THAT
PASSED LAST YEAR.
THE DIFFERENCE AS I UNDERSTAND
IT -- DE
AUTHOR ME AND EXPLAIN AGAIN.
BETWEEN THE LAST YEARS IN THIS
YEAR'S IS THAT THE PERIOD OF
CONFINEMENT IS BEEN EXTENDED
[inaudible]
AND SO -- I
THINK THAT WHAT YOU ARE
REFERENCING WAS.
IN EFFECT THE WHAT YOUR
FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTION WAS LAST
YEAR -- BUT
YOU YOU MAY RESPOND AND THEN --
THE AUTHOR MAY ALSO.
MADAM CHAIR.
OF S. B. RCP AB NINE THIRTY FIVE
AND AB TWELVE FOURTEEN ARE VERY
SIMILAR --
THE PROVISION ABOUT THE
DISMISSAL OF THE CASE BEFORE THE
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS
EXPIRED.
IS NOT ADDRESSED.
BY THE AMENDMENTS THEY'RE MADE.
TO TWELVE FOURTEEN TWELVE
FOURTEEN WOULD SAY IN THE MOST
SERIOUS CASES FOR JUVENILES A
SEVEN OF SEVEN BE OFFENSES.
THAT THEY CAN BE DETAINED FOR
EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
OUR LAST YEAR THAT THEY ARE
REALLY COULD BE DETAINED FOR
TWELVE MONTHS [inaudible]
A REGARDLESS OF WHETHER.
TWELVE EIGHTEEN IF THE STATUE OF
LIMITATIONS HAS NOT EXPIRED ON
THE JUVENILE CAKES.
OUR CONCERN IS THAT.
THE CASE IS BEING DISMISSED
PRIOR TO THE STATUE OF
LIMITATIONS THAT HASN'T CHANGED.
OF YOU WE EXPRESS THAT CONCERN
LAST YEAR WE WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR --
TO TRY AND ADDRESS THIS --
IT IS OUR POSITION THAT.
YOU CAN HAVE A JUVENILE REMOVED
FROM A JUVENILE HALL WHICH BUGS
A WE AGREE.
SHOULDN'T BE WHERE THAT
JUVENILES HOUSE [inaudible]
IT'S JUST.
THE PREMATURE DISMISSAL BEFORE
THE STATUE OF LIMITATIONS HAS
EXPIRED.
THAT WERE CONCERNED --
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD YOU LIKE
TO MAKING COME INTO THAT GOTTEN
YES OF THIS BILL IS VERY SIMILAR
TO AB NINE THIRTY FIVE THAT.
THAT PASSED LEGISLATIVE MUSTER
LAST YEAR WAS VETOED BY THE
GOVERNOR.
THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
RECOGNIZE THE ISSUE THAT WE ARE
TRYING TO SOLVE BUT WAS VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE THE WORST
OFFENDERS TO SEVEN OF SEVEN BE.
AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND WITH THE
SPONSORS TO SEE IF WE COULD
SATISFY THE GOVERNOR'S CONCERN.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL REPRESENTS
IS ESSENTIALLY AMENDMENTS. TO
WHAT THE PREVIOUS BILL WAS TO
SATISFY THAT THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
CONCERN.
THIS IS A VERY SMALL POPULATION
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
AND EVEN THE SEVEN TO SEVEN BE
SOME OF THE THE THE WORST KIDS
IF YOU WILL IN THIS CASE IS IS
AN EVEN SMALLER SUBSET MOST OF
THE KIDS ARE MISDEMEANOR ITS
MOST OF THE KIDS.
HAVE MUCH LESS SERIOUS CRIMES
THAT ARE REALLY NOT A THREAT TO
THE COMMUNITY.
BUT BECAUSE THEY LANGUISH IN
JUVENILE HALL FOR SUCH A LONG
TIME THEY ULTIMATELY BECOME THAT
POTENTIAL THREAT.
SO ENSURING THE KIDS DON'T
LANGUISH IN JUVENILE HALLS THE
KIDS ARE NOT STUCK THERE BUT OR
PROVIDED SERVICES IN THEIR OTHER
MECHANISMS TO TO HOLD VERY
SERIOUS OFFENDERS THERE ARE
OTHER WAYS. TO ADDRESS THESE BUT
JUST HOLDING HIM TO HALL WHICH
IS HEADED TO BE THE PRACTICE.
IS WHY WE BROUGHT FORWARD THIS
BILL OVATION SHEETS BECAUSE THEY
KNOW THEIR FACILITIES AND OUT
THE PLACES TO HOLD THESE KIDS
THEY'RE NOT GETTING THE SERVICES
THAT.
THAT THEY ULTIMATELY NEED SO
THIS BILL IS ADDRESSING THE
CONCERNS OF THE GOVERNOR
HOPEFULLY WE GET THIS TO THE
LEGISLATURE HE WILL AGREE TO
SIGN THIS.
OPEN WORKING WITH THEM AND
THAT'S WHY THIS PARTICULAR
CHANGE -- IF
YOU'D LIKE TO RESPOND TO IF I
MAY THINK YOU MADAM CHAIR A TO
BE CLEAR --
IN THOSE INSTANCES WHERE THE
MATTER IS DISMISSED.
THE COURT THE DA THE MOVING
PARTY STILL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO A RE ISSUE THAT PETITION A IF
THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HAS
NOT RUN ON THAT CASE.
SO THERE IS STILL AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE THE COURT TO MOVE ON
THAT MATTER NO JEOPARDY HAS
ATTACHED --
AS THEY'VE NOT TAKEN EVIDENCE IN
THAT THOSE CASES AND SO I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT
WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A
SMALL NUMBER OF CASES.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE
PROSECUTION IF IN FACT
REMEDIATION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
IF IN FACT COMPETENCY HAS BEEN
ATTAINED STILL EXISTS.
THANK YOU ANY WHO OUR COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS FROM THE DIE.
GO AHEAD THINK LANGUAGE SO.
RIGHT SO I THINK WE DON'T YET
HAVE A QUORUM.
SO.
YOU KNOW WE HAD SENATORS DON'T
THINK MAYBE GET.
PRESENT ANOTHER COMMITTEE --
WE WILL HOLD THAT IN THE SERIOUS
WE HAVE ESTABLISHED QUORUM I
WILL ENTERTAIN THAT MOTION.
BUT WE WILL ALLOW THE AUTHOR A
CLOSE I THINK WE'VE TAKEN A FEW
TIME AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AND I BOTH --
AND SO WE ARE GOING TO CONCLUDE.
THE HEARING PORTION OF YOUR BILL
AND WHEN WE HAVE QUORUM WILL
ENTERTAIN SENATOR ANDERSON'S
MOTION THANK YOU THANK YOU
SENATORS.
ALRIGHT SO OUR NEXT [inaudible]
IF YOU'RE [inaudible]
OKAY.
YEAH BUT IT'S OKAY --
ASSEMBLYMEMBER LOW.
YEAH APOLOGIES WERE FILE ORDER
SIMPLY NEVER GIPSON.
OF WE'LL START WITH YOUR ITEM
NUMBER SEVEN AB.
SEVENTEEN FIFTY ONE I THINK YOU
VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS THIS IS OUR INTER STATE
PRESCRIPTION DATA.
BASE SHARING TO ENSURE THAT WE
CAN PREVENT AS MUCH DOCTOR

RESPECT TO APPEAR TO BE AN
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL.
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT YOU MAY

HI OPPORTUNITY HARLEM THE SECOND
OFFICER OF THE BOARD OF PHARMACY

BILL WERE ONE OF THE
ORIGINATORS.
WE HAVE ON OVER FORTY FIVE
STATES THAT CURRENTLY SHARE ON
CARE STATE ACROSS STATE OR
EQUIVALENT PRESCRIPTION DRUG
MONITORING PROGRAM ACROSS STATE
LINES WITH THE CALIFORNIA NEEDS
TO BE PART OF THAT SYSTEM.
ABOUT 25% OF THE DOLLARS SPENT
ON PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION IS
SPENT BY A MAIL ORDER.
SO THAT ISN'T THE NUMBER OF
PRESCRIPTIONS BUT THAT'S A VERY
VALUABLE CHUNK OF INFORMATION
THAT WE'RE LOSING IF WE CANNOT
COPE PROSTATE.
AND WITH A LOT OF OUT OF STATE
AND WHEN YOU PRESCRIPTION
MEDICATION.
SO WE ARE IN STRONG SUPPORT F

A CLARIFICATION THAT WEEKS ALSO
ACCEPTING THE HANDYMAN VINCE AS
WELL APPRECIATE YOUR STAFF ALSO
WORKED WITH.
THANK YOU AND ALL --
HIGH LIKE THOSE ONCE THE
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
THREE THINK YOU THE MORNING MAKE
IT ALRIGHT ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
STILL OPPOSE NORTH AMENDED.
I'M ALL WE DID RECEIVE SOME WORD
OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LOW IS TAKING
AND I BELIEVE THAT THEY'RE
DEFINITELY A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION.
AND ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE
MOVEMENT THERE'S A COUPLE OF I'M
COMPONENTS TO THAT THAT WE WOULD
REQUEST.
I'M SO AFTER AUGUST THE
DISCUSSION AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT
IF THERE'S ROOM.
FOR THE MOVEMENT ON THAT --
FOUR YOU CONCLUDE IF YOU WOULD
--
ARTICULATE WHAT IT IS THAT.
YOU'RE STILL LOOKING FOR OKAY.
SO WITH THE AMENDMENTS WE
DEFINITELY SHAPED THAT THAT
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WOULD HAVE
TO PROMULGATE REGULATIONS
FINALLY --
AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF THEM BEING
IN STATUTE.
BUT WITH A LITTLE MORE TEETH IN
THIS PROVISION.
I THE WHAT WE WOULD ASK FROM THE
BAD AUTHOR WOULD BE A
CONTINGENCY THAT THE STATURE
WOULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED.
UNTIL THE REGULATIONS ARE
FINALIZED I'M JUST TO GIVE THE
DEPARTMENT A LITTLE MORE OF A
PUSH TO ACTUALLY GET THEM DONE
THIS TIME.
I'M AND WE WOULD ALSO ASK THAT
IT BE.
REALLY ABUNDANTLY CLEAR TO ANY
OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OR STATES
THAT ARE LOOKING TO UTILIZE OUR
DATA.
IN STATUTE THAT NOT ONLY IS THAT
THE LAWS THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO
APPLY ABIDE BY BUT ALSO THE
REGULATIONS I KNOW THAT THIS IS.
COMMON PRACTICE AND TYPICALLY I
INTERPRETED AS LAWS AND
REGULATIONS.
BUT WE JUST WANTED TO BE VERY
CLEAR SO THERE'S NO.
POTENTIAL FOR LOOPHOLES
[inaudible]
THIS WITNESS.
I AM AND I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY
LANGUAGE FOR THE AMENDMENT SO.
MAYBE YOU COULD BRIEFLY WHAT
THEY CAN I LEARN BRIEFLY WHAT
THE AMENDMENTS ARE [inaudible]
BY [inaudible]
THE REPRESENTED FROM CMAKE DID
ARTICULATE THEM WELL THE
AMENDMENTS REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO
PROMULGATE REGULATIONS TO
SPECIFY WHO ME ACCESS THE CURES
INFO.
AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES.
BELINDA OFF THAT.
YOUR AND DID I CHARACTERIZE
THOSE THAT RHETORIC CHAIR.
I THINK YOU BACK ECONOMY MATTER
ON BEHALF OF THEY FEEL YOU OF
CALIFORNIA AND WE WOULD ECHO Y.
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM CMA REQUESTED
AND HAD TO THAT.
AND THAT WE WOULD ALSO
APPRECIATE SEEING A FEW AT A
SMALL FURTHER AMENDMENTS ONE OF
WHICH WOULD BE [inaudible] TO TO
PROVIDE GUIDANCE THAT IN THESE
REGULATIONS.
BUT ALL PATIENT INFORMATION BE
TREATED AS SENSITIVE AND
CONFIDENTIAL WHETHER IT IS BEING
PULLED FROM A PATIENT RECORD OR
FROM A PROVIDER RECORD.
ON THEM.
CURRENT LEAVE THE DOJ'S
GUIDELINES ARE THAT PATIENT
RECORDS REQUIRED WHEN I PULLED
FOR A SPECIFIC PATIENT REQUIRE A
WARRANT.
BUT PROVIDER RECORDS DO NOT
REQUIRE A WARRANT EVEN THOUGH
THEY PROVIDE ALL THE INFORMATION
ABOUT A PATIENT --
AND SINCE THESE MEDICATIONS THAT
IRAQ A CAPTURED IN CARRIERS CAN
POINT TO SUNSET HAVE MEDICAL
CONDITIONS WHETHER ABOUT BE THAT
SOMEONE IS LIVING WITH HIV AIDS
IN ASSIGNED HIV AIDS MEDICATION.
WHETHER IT IS THAT SOMEONE IS A
A CHANCE MAN USING INJECTABLE
TESTOSTERONE OR THAT SOMEONE IS
ON CERTAIN TYPES OF ANTI ANXIETY
AND OTHER.
MENTAL HEALTH MEDICATIONS AND WE
THINK IT'S PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT THAT THIS INFORMATION
BE PROTECTED SO THAT FOR EXAMPLE
SOMEONE COULD NOT GO AND PULL
THE MEDICAL RECORDS OF SUCH A
PROVIDER WHO DEALS EXCLUSIVELY
WITH TRANSITION RELATED CARE.
AND GET THE NAMES AND
MEDICATION.
FOR ALL THE PATIENTS THAT WERE
PRESCRIBED MEDICATION BY THAT
DOCTOR THAT ARE CAPTURED AND
CARRIES AND SO I THINK THAT THE
REGULATIONS ARE WONDERFUL FIRST
STEP.
BUT THEY IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR
THAT IN PROMULGATING THESE
REGULATIONS PATIENT INFORMATION
NEEDS TO BE PROTECTED RATHER
WHETHER.
THE INFORMATION IS BEING PULLED
DIRECTLY.
BY DOING A PATIENT SEARCH OR
INDIRECTLY BY DOING A PROVIDER
SEARCH AND SINCE THERE'S%
CURRENTLY ANALYTICS SOFTWARE
THAT WOULD ALLOW.
THAT ALLOWS FOR A RECOGNIZING
PATIENTS ACROSS DIFFERENCES AND
NAMES AND ADDRESSES AND LINKING
THEM AS ONE PATIENT.
ANONYMIZING OR REDACTING THIS
PATIENT INFORMATION AND WILL NOT
PREVENT LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM
BEING ABLE TO DETECT SOMEONE WHO
IS A DOCTOR SHOPPER.
AND IS -- A
ORDERS AS BEING OVER PRESCRIBED
MEDICATION BY THE DOCTOR AND
GOING BACK AND GETTING A
WARRANT.
ADDITIONALLY WHILE CURES AT HOW
STUPID FOLLOW IT UP FOLLOW AT
CALVARY PRIVACY LAWS
UNFORTUNATELY IT FALLS OUTSIDE
OF EXISTING STATE AND FEDERAL
MEDICAL PRIVACY LAWS.
BECAUSE NEITHER THE CURE'S
DATABASE NOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE ARE COVERED ENTITIES
UNDER AYE THERE HAVE BY OUR CMI
--
AND SO WE CONTINUE TO ASK THAT
THE BILL BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE A
PROVISION STATING THAT CMI A
DOES.
THE OTHER CURES NEEDS TO BE
ADMINISTERED AS THOUGH IT WAS
COVERED BY CMAA TO ENSURE THAT
OUR STRONG MEDICAL PRIVACY LAWS.
DO APPLY TO THESE SENSITIVE.
BY A PRESCRIPTION INFORMATION
THEY GET.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
RESIDENTS WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CADMIUM FAMILY PHYSICIANS DO
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS THAT
THE OTHER WILL BE ADOPTING SOME
VERY PROMISING BUT WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE FURTHER CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE CMA AND THE AUTHORS OFFICE
BEFORE WE VISIT OUR POSITION.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE CURRENTLY POST
AWESOME.
GOOD MORNING DANIEL CANDLE
KAISER ON BEHALF OF THE
ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION
WE WITH A LINE ARE.
PRIVACY CONCERNS AS OUTLINED --
PREVIOUSLY BY OUR COALITION
PARTNERS AND WE REMAIN
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE A LESSON AND
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION [inaudible]
ALRIGHT --
PERFORMANCE FROM THE DIET
[inaudible]
COMMENT [inaudible]
ANY OTHERS [inaudible]
SO.
I'M IS MY UNDERSTANDING.
SO NOW -- WE
HAVE THE AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD
REQUIRE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO
PROMULGATE REGULATIONS AND
SPECIFY.
WHO ME EXCITED ACCESS THE INFO
AND UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES AND
THE BILL GIVES THE DOJ THE DATE
OF JULY TWENTY TWENTY TO DO SO?
AND I APPRECIATE Y. THE DATA
SPECIFIED BECAUSE OF COURSE
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE
REGULATIONS TO BE PROMULGATED --
BUT I THINK THERE MAY BE A
MARRIAGE IN THE POINT THAT IT IS
DIFFICULT --
TO IMPLEMENT THE PROVISIONS OF
THE BILL THAT SHARE THE DATA.
BEFORE THOSE REGULATIONS ARE
PROMULGATED AND I WONDERED IF
THE AUTHOR WOULD.
CONSIDER THE A AMENDMENT WHERE
THE SHARING OF THE DATA WOULD
TAKE PLACE.
JULY AFTER JULY TWENTY TWENTY
YEAR.
SO THAT THAT WAY DIRECTS WOULD
BE IN PLACE YES --
I DON'T KNOW I DON'T OBVIOUSLY
SEEM A AND OTHERS WILL HAVE TO
STILL REVIEW LANGUAGE TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THAT SATISFIES
THEM BUT AT LEAST IT ADDRESSES
THE CONCERNS OF DATA BEING
SHARED. FOR THOSE RAKES WERE
PROMULGATED.
YES SEN THAT MADAM CHAIR AND AS
YOU'VE HEARD FROM TESTIMONY OUR
OFFICE HAS BEEN IN CONVERSATION
WITH A STAKEHOLDERS.
AND HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO DO SO
AS IT THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD TO

CONVERSATION SINCE.
THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR ON THE
SPELLING UNDERSTAND THAT THERE.
I'M YOU KNOW A LOT OF SIDES TO
THIS ISSUE AND IT'S TOUCHY
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF ONLY A
COUPLE STATES THAT ACTUALLY
HOUSE THERE.
PRESCRIPTION DRUG MONITORING
PROGRAM IN THAT ALONG FORSMAN
ENTITY ANSWER NAVIGATING THAT
HAS BEEN A LITTLE BIT TRICKY BUT
WE APPRECIATE THIS ITEM IS
COMMITMENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
THE AMENDMENTS.
AND I WILL JUST CONTINUE WORKING
WITH THEM AND TAKE BACK AT THE
LANGUAGE TO OUR TALKS
[inaudible]
OKAY THINK RIGHT SO SINCE WE
HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH
QUORUM YET.
WE ARE GONNA --
ALLOW YOU TO CLOSE --
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LOW AND THEN WE
WILL ENTERTAIN SENATOR
ANDERSON'S MOTION AS SOON AS
WE'VE ESTABLISHED QUIRK.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE --
THANK YOU SO MUCH OF YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF THIS IMPORTANT.
BILL WHICH WOULD.
I REALLY AUGMENT AMPLIFY LAW
ENFORCEMENT'S ABILITY TO SOLVE
THE MOST SERIOUS KINDS OF GUN
CRIMES BY LINKING THEM USING
EXPANDED SHOWCASE THINGS.
THIS IS AVAILABLE EXISTING
TECHNOLOGY MOST OF THE
JURISDICTIONS IN THE STATE
ALREADY USE IT TO SOME EXTENT.
THE REAL CHANGE IN THIS BILL IS
THAT IT WOULD.
THINGS BE TESTED WHICH IS
SERIOUSLY CHANGES OUR ABILITY TO
SOFT ON CRIME.
ESPECIALLY ACROSS COUNTY LINES
SO IN OUR POPULATION BASIS SUCH
AS MY COUNTY MOST OF THE BAY
AREA LOS ANGELES SAN DIEGO
ORANGE COUNTY THERE ARE EIGHTY
USING THIS TECHNOLOGY --
AT A MINIMUM ON MOST OF THE
SERIOUS CASES BUT WHAT THIS
WOULD REALLY DO IS REQUIRE ALL
OF THE GUNS AND ALL OF THE
CASINGS.
JUST A FEW EXAMPLES FROM HOW
THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED IN
OUR COUNTY OUR ABILITY TO SOLVE
GUN CRIME IT MEANS THAT EVEN
WHEN YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR THAT
SHOOTING THAT YOU CAN SOLVE IT
SO.
WE LAST WEEK HAD A CASE WHERE --
AYE HOMICIDE SUSPECT WHO WAS HAD
ACTUALLY STAB SOMEONE HIS CRIME
THE GUN THAT WAS FOUND IN HIS
KITCHEN WAS LINKED ACK TO A
SERIES OF SHOOTINGS THAT WE HAD
NO IDEA HE WAS EVEN LINKED.
TO AND THIS HAPPENS ON THE DAILY
BASIS WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF
EXAMPLES FROM OUR JURISDICTION
JUST IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS --
WE STAND IN --
WITH.
EVERY MAJOR NATIONAL I'M
ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
CHIEFS OF POLICE POLICE

FOUNDATION PORAC AND THE A TF IN
SUPPORTING THE CONCEPT OF THIS
--

SERIOUSLY AMPLIFYING LAW
ENFORCEMENT'S ABILITY TO SOLVE
GUN CRIME AND WE WISH TO BRING
THIS TO SMALLER JURISDICTIONS IN

WOULDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THIS
TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY.
SO WE ASK --
FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO HELP
BRING THIS TO THE REST OF
CALIFORNIA THANK YOU.

POTENTIALLY WAYS --
TO ADDRESS COST INCLUDING --
RATHER THAN HAVING EVERY SINGLE

GET THIS TECHNOLOGY OUT SAID UP
REGIONALLY THERE'S ANYWAY THAT

WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
.
WHICHEVER YOU WANT TO BEGIN GO
AHEAD.
GOOD MORNING NATASHA MINSKER
ACLU OF CALIFORNIA REGRETFULLY
WE ARE OPPOSED TO THIS BILL.
THIS BILL SEEKS TO REENACT
RESTRICTIONS RESIDENT RESIDENCY
RESTRICTIONS THAT THE CALIFORNIA
SUPREME COURT HAS FOUND TO BE.
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THE REASONS BEHIND THE
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT ARE
IMPORTANT.
AND EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS ALSO AN
UNWISE POLICY.
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE COMMITTED
OFFENSES.
INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COMMITTED SUCH OFFENSES
INCLUDING PEOPLE WHO ARE ON
PAROLE RETAIN CERTAIN BASIC
CIVIL RIGHTS AND LIBERTIES THAT
ARE PROTECTED.
BY OUR CONSTITUTION.
THE GOVERNMENT CAN MAKE A
SIGNIFICANT INFRINGEMENT ON
THOSE RIGHTS ONLY FOR A
LEGITIMATE PURPOSE.
COURT FOUND THAT THESE RESIDENCY
RESTRICTIONS.
ARE IN PRACTICE A SIGNIFICANT
INFRINGEMENT.
ON BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS BECAUSE IN
PRACTICE THE EFFECT IS TO MAKE
PEOPLE HOMELESS.
IN PRACTICE THESE RESIDENCY
RESTRICTIONS MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE
FOR PEOPLE TO FIND.
SURE HOUSING IN THE VAST
MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
ARE IN.
IN SUBURBAN AREAS.
AND SO THE COURT FOUND DRIVING
PEOPLE INTO HOMELESSNESS IS A
SIGNIFICANT INFRINGEMENT ON
THEIR BASIC RIGHTS THAT ARE
PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION.
NOW THEORETICALLY THIS COULD BE
LEGITIMATE IF IT SERVED AN
IMPORTANT GOVERNMENT PURPOSE.
THE STATED PURPOSE IS PUBLIC
SAFETY.
CRITICALLY THE CALIFORNIA
SUPREME COURT FOUND THAT IN FACT
THESE RESTRICTIONS DO NOT SERVE
THAT PURPOSE.
BECAUSE DRIVING PEOPLE INTO
HOMELESSNESS ACTUALLY MAKES IT
MORE LIKELY THAT NEW OFFENSES
WILL OCCUR.
BEING HOMELESS REMOVES PEOPLE
FROM THE STABILITY OF
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT
ACCESS TO SECURE AND REGULAR
COUNSELING AND THE SUPPORT OF
FAMILY MEMBERS.
BEING HOMELESS MAKES IT MORE
DIFFICULT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO
DO THEIR JOB TO FOR PAROLE
OFFICERS TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE
ARE COMPLYING WITH CONDITIONS.
AND FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO DO
THE GENERAL OF MONITORING THAT
IS IN PLACE FOR PEOPLE AWKWARD
REQUIRED TO REGISTER FOR PRIOR
SEX OFFENSE.
AND SO THE COURT FOUND THAT IN
FACT THESE RESTRICTIONS DON'T
SERVE THE GOAL OF PUBLIC SAFETY
THEY ACTUALLY MAKE IT MORE
DIFFICULT. FOR US TO KEEP OUR
COMMUNITY SAFE AND THEREFORE
THEY ARE IN UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
IT WOULD THUS BE BOTH.
UNWISE FOR THIS LEGISLATURE TO
RE ENACT THESE.
RESTRICTIONS AND ALSO.
ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE CONSTRUCTED
ON BY THE COURT IMMEDIATELY AND
WE URGE YOU TO VOTE NO.
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS JAN BALUCHI I'M EXIT
DIRECTOR OF THE IT'S LAWS AND WE
STRONGLY URGE YOUR OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL YOU'RE NO VOTE --
IN ADDITION TO WHAT MY COLLEAGUE
FROM ACLU HAS STATED --
THERE ARE MANY --
ACADEMIC AND ALSO --
GOVERNMENT REPORTS THAT TALK
ABOUT THE FACT THAT --
STE RESIDENTS RESTRICTIONS DO
NOT INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY IN
FACT THEY DECREASE PUBLIC SAFETY
NEVER COULD READ ONE BRIEF QUOTE
FROM THE SEX WHEN OUR MANAGEMENT
BOARD WHICH THE LEGISLATURE
CREATED FOR JUSTICE.
PROVIDE COMMENTARY ON SEX
OFFENDER POLICY THAT BOARD
CONCLUDED THAT RESTRICTING OUR
SEX OFFENDER MAY RESIDE IS QUOTE
LIKELY TO HAVE THE UNINTENDED
EFFECT OF INCREASING THE
LIKELIHOOD OF SEXUAL OFFENSE AND
AGAIN THAT'S COME FROM THE
CALIFORNIA SEX BETTER MANAGEMENT
BOARD.
I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION --
SOMETHING SOME RECENT COURT
DECISIONS THAT HAVE DECLARED
ARMS SUCH --
WOULD HAVE DECLARED THAT
RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS A FABLESS
BY A JESSICA'S LAW CAN ONLY BE
APPLIED TO THOSE WHO ARE ON
PAROLE SEX OFFENDERS ON PAROLE
I'M THE FIRST DECISION WAS MADE
IN FEDERAL COURT IN DECEMBER OF
LAST YEAR THE CASES CLIMBER
VERSUS CITY OF ADELANTO.
AND THEN JUST LAST MONTH ON MAY
THIRTY FIRST IN THE CASE OF WIFE
VERSUS CITY OF MAY WOULD LOS
ANGELES SUPERIOR COURT ALSO
DECLARED THAT.
UP RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS CAN
ONLY BE APPLIED TO READ --
TO SEX OFFENDERS WHILE THEY'RE
ON PAROLE AND I'M --
LEFT OPEN THE QUESTION OF
WHETHER OR NOT IN FACT THEY
COULD BE AYE ON CONSTITUTIONAL
AS WELL.
OF THOSE CASES ARE PENDING
[inaudible]
JERRY.
WE ARE FAR.
IN ADDITION TO OF REMARKS MADE
SO FAR.
UP PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE SHOWS
THAT.
ARE RESIDENCY RESTRICTIONS THAT
ARE THIS BROAD.
A AND THEN OF THIS --
ILL DEFINED AS TO THEIR TARGETS
AND MIGHT BE DEFINED BUT DIVIDE
BETTER BUT PRESIDENT'S
RESTRICTIONS THIS BROAD.
A SIMPLY DON'T WORK THEY'RE
UNMANAGEABLE.
THEY CAUSE A LOT OF OUR CHAOS
REALLY IN THE SYSTEM OF TRYING
TO MANAGE --
OF SEX OFFENDERS AS AND TRYING
--
TO KEEP AN ORDERLY SOCIETY
THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH DIFFICULTY
FROM THIS KIND OF A BROAD BASED
RESTRICTION.
SO IN ADDITION OR THE LEGAL
ARGUMENTS THERE'S THE PRACTICAL
ARGUMENT THAT IT DOESN'T WORK IT
CAN'T BE MANAGED.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
MY NAME IS ROGER HUNNICUTT
BUSINESSMAN FROM MODESTO.
I CURRENTLY LIVE IN MY ELDERLY
UNCLES HOUSE GIVING HIM ASSISTED
CARE.
I ASK THAT YOU NOT MAKE ME
HOMELESS AND MANY OTHERS LIKE ME
--
AN I ASK YOU TO OPPOSE THIS BILL
PLEASE [inaudible]
ANY OTHER --
COMMENTS FROM THE DICE
[inaudible]
SENATOR WIENER.
I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
I WANT TO START A AND THE OTHER
NIGHT OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK
AND I REALLY AYE.
I I I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S
INTENT I KNOW THAT YOUR INTENT
IS A 100% TO PROTECT CHILDREN.
WE ALL WANT TO PROTECT THESE
KIDS WE WANT WHETHER IT'S A
LICENSE. FOR DAYCARE FACILITY OR
A HOME FAMILY CARE --
FACILITY WE WANT THESE KIDS TO
BE.
ARE SAFE AND I CAN COMPLETELY I
SYMPATHIZE AND WHAT A FAMILY
FINDS OUT THAT THERE'S A
NEIGHBOR.
A FEW DOORS DOWN WHO I DID
SOMETHING IS.
REALLY BAD --
THAT THAT CAN BE --
UP SO.
I DON'T ARE IN ANY WAY DISPUTE
THE YOUR RATIONALE FOR PURSUING
AS HAVING YOU'RE DOING.
THIS BECAUSE YOU ARE --
PROBLEM AROSE IN YOUR DISTRICT
AND YOU ARE.
STICKING UP FOR YOUR
CONSTITUENTS AND YOU'RE YOU'RE
YOU'RE GOOD YOU'RE YOU'RE AXEL
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND YOU DO THAT
DISTRICT I APPRECIATE IT
I WITH THAT SAID I DO --
AS EXPRESSED TO YOU ON I HAVE
SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL.
I'M WAY YOU KNOW AND A BIG KHAT
PICTURE OF COURSE IS THAT
CALIFORNIA'S ON SEX OFFENDER.
LAWS ARE ARE A MASS WE STARTED
FIXING THEM LAST YEAR.
BY SAYING YOU KNOW PASSING SB
DEGREE BEFORE SO THAT YOU'RE NOT
WE DON'T PERMANENTLY PUT EVERY
SEX OFFENDER.
ON THE REGISTRY WHETHER YOU'RE
PREDATOR WHETHER YOU'RE HAVING
SEX IN A PARK IN NINETEEN FIFTY
FIVE EVERYONE.
IN CALIFORNIA IS ON FOR LIFE AND
NOW AT LEAST WERE TEARING AT BUT
WE ALSO HAVE YOU KNOW THESE
THESE KINDS OF LAWS THAT THE
CHALLENGES THEY CREATE.
AS MY LOOK AT A PLACE.
I MEAN SAN FRANCISCO'S BY THE
MOST EXTREME SENSE BECAUSE WERE
SUCH AN INCREDIBLY DENSELY
POPULATED CITY BUT IT'S TRUE
EVERYWHERE.
I'M IN IN AN URBAN SAID.
HOUSE IF YOU ABOUT TWO BLOCKS
AND SO IN URBAN SETTING YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
AYE ANYWHERE THERE IS A HOME
MORE OF FAMILY IS DOING --
HAVING KIDS IN FOR AS A PART OF
A FAMILY DAYCARE --
TO BLOCK RADIUS AROUND THAT --
AROUND THAT LOCATION WOULD BE --
ILLEGAL FOR A SEX OFFENDER TO
LIVE THERE.
I I'M I'M GONNA SPECULATE AND
SAN FRANCISCO IT WOULD BLOT OUT
THE WHOLE CITY WILL BE ILLEGAL
FOR A SEX OFFENDER TO LIVE
ANYWHERE.
IN SAN FRANCISCO --
AYE I THINK THIS TO BE TRUE IN A
LOT OF OTHER PLACES AND SO WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
PEOPLE WHO ARE CURRENTLY LIVING
SOMEWHERE HAVING TO LEAVE THEIR
HOME -- AND
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE WHO
NEED TO FIGHT HOUSING.
BEING UNABLE TO FIND HOUSING IN
PARTICULAR WE KNOW THAT.
WHAT WILL OUR?
IN TERMS OF RECIDIVISM.
I'M MAKING SOME HOMELESS IS
GOING TO INCREASE THE ODDS OF
RECIDIVISM ARE FORCING SOMEONE
TO LIVE ARE FAR AWAY FROM FAMILY
AND FRIENDS --
WILL INCREASE RECIDIVISM --
AND AND I JUST I DON'T THINK OF
THE SOME OF US IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION SO I COMPLETELY.
UNDERSTAND THE SPIRIT OF WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO I APPRECIATE
THAT ON BUT I CAN'T SUPPORT THE
BILL IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
IF THERE ARE AMENDMENTS THAT ARE
WORKED OUT AFTER COMMITTEE --
THAT YOU KNOW THAT I'M THAT I'M
I'M OPEN.
TO CHANGE CHANGING MY
PERSPECTIVE ON THE FLOOR --
BY AS THE BILL IS IN ITS CURRENT
FORM UNABLE TO SUPPORT IT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER MEMBERS
TO MAKE COMMENT SO I WILL
COMMENT ON I SHARE SENATOR
WIENERS CONCERNS THAT THE OUR
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY.
S. IS CURRENTLY.
CONSTRUCTED IN EVEN WITH.
THE CHANGE WE PUT INTO LAW LAST
YEAR [inaudible]
STILL.
CREATES A VERY UNFORTUNATE
WHILE.
WELL THERE ARE CERTAIN OFFENDERS
WHO I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD
ARGUE SHOULD BE THERE FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME [inaudible]
THERE ISN'T LARGE NUMBER FOR
MAHOOD THAT EVEN THE TEN YEARS
MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE.
AND BUT THAT IS WHAT WE HAVE FIX
FOR NOW SO IT IS WHAT WE HAVE
FOR NOW.
BUT THE THE LAW AS YOU HAVE
DESIGNED IT RIGHT NOW.
FROM MY SEARCHING.
IN THE CASE LAW [inaudible]
WOULD NOT.
BE UPHELD IN COURT IT IS BEEN
THERE IS ENOUGH --
CASE LAW THAT HAS.
HAS INDICATED ITS ON
CONSTITUTIONALITY THAT I DON'T
THINK THAT IT WOULD SERVE YOUR
PURPOSE.
SO A STAFF AND I HAVE BEEN
COMMITTEE STAFF AND I HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING WITH TRYING TO FIND
--
SOMETHING THAT MIGHT ADDRESS THE
CONCERN THAT YOU ARE --
RACING THAT IS NOT ONEROUS AND
IS NO I FALL INTO THE
CONSTITUTIONALITY ISSUE.
AND ONE THING THAT WE OR IF.
MIGHT BE ABLE TO CONSTRUCT BUT
THE DIFFICULTY IS TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT THESE KINDS OF THINGS
--
WHATEVER IN THE TIME PRESSURES
THAT WE HAVE.
BUT ONE THING THAT WE MIGHT
CONSIDER WOULD BE REQUIRING.
A SEX OFFENDER OF WHO IS CHARGED
OR WHO IS CONVICTED REGARDING
VICTIMS UNDER AGE OF FIFTEEN SIR
SEX OFFENDERS WITH VICTIMS UNDER
AGE OF FIFTEEN THAT AS THEY
ALREADY MUST REGISTER WITH LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THAT IT WOULD WE WOULD REQUIRE
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO INFORM
ANY LICENSED DAYCARE PROVIDER
THAT LIES WITHIN ONE THOUSAND
FEET OF THE RESIDENTS.
OF AGAIN THAT LIMITED SET OF SEX
OFFENDERS.
UPON THE REGISTRATION SO THAT
THE TIMING WOULD BE JUST AT THE
POINT OF REGISTRATION INFORMALLY
LICENSE STATE CARE PROVIDERS
WITHIN A THOUSAND FEET
[inaudible]
THAT'S ONE POSSIBLE.
YEAH I THINK THAT WAS AN OPTION
THAT WE HAVE EXPLORED WITH THE
STAFF AND WITH OTHER MEMBERS
THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY HERE.
AND IN COMMITTEE AND SO --
YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY LIKE SENATOR
WIENER HAD COMMENTED WOULD WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT CHILDREN ARE
SAFE AND THAT'S ULTIMATELY WHAT
THE GOAL OF THE SPIRIT OF THE
LEGISLATION AND YOU KNOW.
AND UNDERSTANDING.
OTHER CONCERNS FROM THE
COMMITTEE IF.
IF OKAY WITH CHERRY I'D LOVE TO
MOVE I THAT DIRECTION TO AT
LEAST.
INFORM THE LICENSED DAYCARE
HOMES AND FAMILY DAYCARE
PROVIDERS --
SO THEY CAN REMAIN DILIGENT AND
KEEP THAT WATCH FLY OVER OVER
CHILDREN IN THEIR CARE.
ALRIGHT SO IT IT'S WOULD BE VERY
LIMITED ITS LIMITED AGAIN TO
THAT CATEGORY OF SEX OFFENDERS
AND IT WOULD BE LIMITED TO AT
THE TIME OF REGISTRATION.
SO IN A PART LEAVE WE'RE
SUGGESTING THAT DESIGN BECAUSE
FAMILY DAYCARE CENTERS COMING GO
AND IT.
VERY VERY VERY FREQUENTLY AND WE
CAN'T PUT THE ONUS ON LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO TRACK THAT SORT
OF THING ON A MONTHLY BASIS BUT
AT THE POINT OF REGISTRATION
THAT MADE.
BE AN APPROPRIATE TIME SINCE THE
SINCE THE OFFENDER MUST REGISTER
WITH LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT --
GO AHEAD A SEAL YOU MAY HAVE.
TO ASK A FEW CLARIFYING
QUESTIONS SO IT IT SOUNDS LIKE
THE OWNERS TO BE ON THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT PROVIDER NOTICE
CORRECT YOU SAID IT THANK YOU
YOU SET A TIME OF REGISTRATION
INDIVIDUALS ARE REQUIRED TO
REGISTER ANNUALLY SO DO YOU MEAN
AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST
REGISTRATION OR DO.
YOU MEAN EVERY SINGLE YEAR --
RIGHT.
I THINK IT WOULD BE ANYTIME THEY
CHANGE THEIR ADDRESS ADDRESS
OWNERS ASSEMBLY RIGHT WRECKED
GRANADA RENEWAL OF NOTARIES AND
THEN MY LAST QUESTION IS THERE
ARE SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO.
ARE.
NOT INCLUDED ON MEGAN'S LAW FOR
PRIVACY REASONS SO INDIVIDUALS
WHO ACTUALLY FALL INTO.
THE LIMITED CATEGORY OF OFFENSES
THAT YOU DESCRIBED WHERE THEY
ARE.
THEIR INFORMATION IS NOT POSTED
ON THE WEBSITE PURSUANT TO
MEGAN'S LAW OUT OF A DESIRE TO
PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF THE
VICTIM'S --
THEIR* IT IN FACT CHILD
SEXUAL ABUSE THE MOST.
VAST MAJORITY OF THESE INSTANCES
AS THE TEARS WELL WHERE ARE
INTERFERE MILLIA WITHIN THE
FAMILY.
AND IN MOST --
CIRCUMSTANCES OF TO SPECIFIC
OFFENSES YOU ARE DESCRIBING
WOULD BE A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS
THE OFFENDER IN SOME
CIRCUMSTANCES WE ACTUALLY DO NOT
INCLUDE THE OFFENDERS
INFORMATION ON THE PUBLIC
WEBSITE.
OUT OF A DESIRE TO PROTECT THAT
THE VICTIM IN THE CASE WHO
CONTINUES TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH THAT FAMILY MEMBER AND SO
WOULD BE VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE
ENSURE THAT.
THE PRIVACY OF THE VICTIM
CONTINUES TO BE PROJECT WE WE
WOULD DRAFT THE THE AMENDMENT TO
USE CONTINUE TO RESPECT THOSE
PROVISIONS OF MEGAN'S LAW SO
THAT WOULD BE IN FROM OUTSIDE TO
ENTER BUT THAT WOULD BE
RESTRICTED.
TO LAW ENFORCEMENT GIVING NOTICE
TO OF LICENSED DAYCARE FACILITY
IF THAT INFORMATION IS
INFORMATION IT CAN PROBABLY WENT
POSTED ON THE WEBSITE
[inaudible]
CORRECT.
THE BILL SOUGHT.
OKAY YOUR THE COLORS Y. THAT
ALSO.
ALRIGHT SO --
WE DO NOT HAVE OUR QUORUM --
WE WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION LIKE
THAT WITH THOSE AMENDMENTS AT
THE POINT THAT WE DO HAVE A
QUORUM [inaudible]
AND YOU MAY CLOSE.
LESTAT THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR
WORK I APPRECIATE THE TIME THE
EFFORT THAT YOUR STAFF AND EACH
OF THE MEMBERS TOOK IN.
AND SITTING DOWN AND MEETING
WITH BEING TRIED ADDRESSES --
REAL CONCERN OUT IN.
AND IN MY DISTRICT I CAN IMAGINE
A LOT OF DISKS CROSS THE ENTIRE
STATE BUT UNDERSTAND THE BALANCE
THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE.
AND I APPRECIATE YOUR WORKING
APPRECIATE THE THE EFFORT TO
ALLOW THIS MEASURE TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH THE AMENDMENTS
[inaudible]
RIGHT -- YOU
KNOW THAT WAS YOUR ONLY.
BUT BILL CORRECT THAT WASN'T
RIGHT.
OKAY THANK YOU SO MUCH THEY GIVE
HIM A MEMBER SALAS.
OKAY.
DOES SIMILAR MEMBER GIPSON WE
WILL GO WITH ITEM [inaudible]
THIRTEEN EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
NINETY THREE MADAM CHAIR.
THEY IF IT.
BE OKAY IF WE CAN TAKE ONE BILL

DETERMINATION OF WHAT THAT
REQUIREMENT BE WITH.

MAKE.
SECONDHAND DEALERS --

SECOND IT PEOPLE WHO ACQUIRE
GOODS FOR SECONDHAND SALES HAVE
A VERY DETAILED A REQUIREMENT OF
COLLECTING FORMS OF
IDENTIFICATION A THUMBPRINT.
A UTILITY BILL THERE ARE VARIOUS
OPTIONS WITHIN THE BMP CHO TO

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS THINGS OF
THAT NATURE.
THERE COMPETITORS OF COURSE IN
THE RETAIL MARKET WOULDN'T HAVE
THAT REQUIREMENT ONLY LICENSE
SECONDHAND DEALERS WOULD.
THAT IN ITSELF WAS WAS WAS AN
ISSUE NOW I MIGHT ADD THAT WE
ORIGINALLY INTRODUCED THE BILL
WITH A ZERO DAY HOLD WHICH OF
COURSE WOULD PUT US EQUAL WITH
EVERYONE ELSE.
WITHIN AMENDED TO A THREE DAY
HOLD.
THEN TO A SEVEN DAY HOLE ALL
TRIED TO TRY AND ELIMINATE THE
OPPOSITION.
THERE IS LANGUAGE IN THE BILL
CURRENTLY WHICH SAYS THAT SHOULD
AN OPPORTUNITY TO SELL ONE OF
THESE ITEMS PRESENT ITSELF.
AFTER THE FIFTH DAY.
AND BEFORE THE SEVENTH DAY WOULD
COME OF COURSE BE THE SIXTH DAY.
WE COULD COLLECT SOME
INFORMATION AND AS I EXPLAINED

ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH
ON THE STUDIO TWENTY THREE
EIGHTY TWO SEEKS A CLOSE THE
GOES -- GUN
LUPO BY REQUIRING A STATE
BACKGROUND CHECK OF PURCHASING
OF GUNS PARTS AND ALSO CREATE A
NEW LICENSE STRUCTURE. FOR GUN
APART DEALERS.
NOT TOO LONG AGO THERE WAS A
SHOOTING IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
WHERE A MAN MURDERED FIVE PEOPLE
INCLUDING HIS WIFE.
I'M WITH THE GOALS GUN.
THIS MAN WAS PROHIBITED FROM
PURCHASING IF OUR AUNT SO HE
TOOK TO THE INTERNET --
TO BY AND PURCHASE I'M GONE
PARTS AND BUILD A GUN ON HIS OWN
THIS WAS ALSO THE CASE ANTS
SANTA MONICA IN TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN WHERE A MAN ATTEMPTED
TO PURCHASE A FAR ARM BUT WAS
NOT ALLOWED AFTER THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE FILED.
HIM INELIGIBLE.
HE THEN RESORTED TO BUILDING HIS
OWN GUN WHICH HE USED TO KILL
FIVE PEOPLE AND INJURING SEVERAL
OTHERS.
CURRENT LAW REQUIRES BACKGROUND
CHECKS FOR BOTH GUN SALES AND
AMMUNITION YET IS SILENT ON THE
TREATMENT OF PARTS OF FAR ARM OF
OUR OWN PARTS THIS BILL INTENDS
TO IMPROVE PUBLIC SAFETY.
BY PREVENTING CRIMINALS.
AND THOSE WHO SHOULD NOT
OTHERWISE POSSESS THE FAR ARM
FROM GAINING ACCESS WHILE
PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF GUN
OWNERS.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO
UNDERSCORE THAT --
LAST MONTH --
ADJOURNMENT IN MY DISTRICT
RESTING --
FOR MAKING --
A. K. FORTY SEVENS AND ALSO A
ARE --
FIFTEEN ANY PLED GUILTY --
HE AND HIS WIFE I'M IN MY

TO TAKE LIFE AND ASO --
AVOID GETTING CAPTURED SO WITH
ME TO PROVIDE SUPPORTING
TESTIMONIES ARE REPRESENTATIVES
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
AND ALSO --
MISS AMANDA WILCOX FROM THE
BRADY CAMPAIGN.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR MARIO
DIBERNARDO WITH THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE --
ATTORNEY GENERAL HABIBA SARA'S
PROUD TO SUPPORT THIS BILL WHICH
WOULD CLOSE THE GHOST GUN
LOOPHOLE IN THE STATE.
CALIFORNIA IS A HOT SPOT FOR
GHOST GUNS ACCORDING TO THE
OWNER OF GHOST GUNNER DOT NET A
WEBSITE THAT SELLS GUN
COMPONENTS AS WELL AS A MILLING
MACHINE. FOR AT HOME GUNSMITHING
CALIFORNIA IS THEIR BEST MARKET.
IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN YES SACRAMENTO TEAM
ALONE RECOVERED HUNDREDS OF UN
SERIALIZED GOES GUNS AND THE
PROBLEM IS GROWING.
DOJ'S BUREAU FIREARMS IS
REGULARLY SEEING GHOSTS GUNS AT
GUN SHOWS --
YEAH IT DOING BUSINESS IN
CALIFORNIA WITHOUT ANY
RESTRICTIONS PEOPLE WHO ARE
PROHIBITED FROM PROCESSING FROM
POSSESSING A FIREARM HAVE BEEN
GOING TO GUN SHOWS OR GOING
ONLINE AND PURCHASING THE PARTS
THEY NEED TO BUILD GUNS.
BUILDING A GUN IS GENERALLY MORE
EXPENSIVE THAN PURCHASING A GUN
BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE PROHIBITED
FROM PURCHASING A FIREARM ARE
WILLING TO PAY THE EXTRA COST.
AB TWO THIRD DOT TWENTY THREE
EIGHTY TWO WOULD CLOSE THE GUN
GOES GUN LOOPHOLE BY REQUIRING A
BACKGROUND CHECK WHEN A PERSON
PURCHASES A PRECURSOR PART FOR A
GHOST GOD.
THE SELLER MOST MUST ALSO BE
LICENSE.
THE BILL IS VERY SPECIFIC ON
WHAT A FIERY R. FIREARM
PRECURSOR PART IS FURTHER MORE
TO ELIMINATE ANY CONFUSION.
THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES DOJ TO
PROVIDE WRITTEN GUIDANCE AND A
PICTORIAL DIAGRAM --
DEMONSTRATING EACH CATEGORY OF
FIREARM PERK PRECURSOR PARTS
WITH ME TODAY IS BLAKE RAM
SPECIAL AGENT SUPERVISOR WITH
DOJ'S BUREAU FIREARMS.
HE'S OUR GOES GUN EXPERTS AND
WE'LL DISCUSS WHAT IS COVERED IN
THE BILL.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL LIKE TO
THANK THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR
CARRYING THIS BILL AND WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR I'VE --
SPECIAL AGENT SUPERVISOR BILLY
GRAHAM -- I
HAVE SOME --
ITEMS IN MY BACKPACK HERE THAT
OF THAT CLEAR BUT THIS.
POLLS OF THINGS ARE WRITTEN IN
THE BILL THAT LIKE TO
DEMONSTRATE THAT IF POSSIBLE.
OKAY SO SIXTEEN FIVE THREE ONE
IS -- WHAT
I'LL BE READING THROUGH AS I
DEMONSTRATE THE ITEMS
?
APPARENTLY PEOPLE IN THE BACK OF
A YEAR HERE AND WE'RE HAVING
DIFFICULTY HEARING I UNDERSTAND
SO FOR EVERYONE COULD MOVE THE
MIKES CLOSER AND SPEAK UP SO
EVERYONE CAN HEAR
[inaudible]
UP.
THAT ALL THE ONE ALRIGHT SIR FOR
THE DELAY --
SO ONE OF THEM I THINK YOU.
IT'S ARE FOR THE DELAY ONE OF
THE FIRST THINGS IT'S COVERED IN
THE DESCRIPTION PART AT SIXTEEN
FIVE THREE ONE GOES INTO A FARM
BARREL THIS IS A HAND GUN BARREL
HERE.
SO SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE
COVERED.
REQUIRE BACKGROUND CHECKS AND
NECESSARY PART FOR SEMIAUTOMATIC
FIREARM ACTUAL FIRMS --
TO MAKE IT FUNCTION --
THIS IS THE UPPER RECEIVER THAT
HAVE EXTRAS BERLINER DETACHED.
SO.
COMMONLY IN GUN SHOWS --
ORGAN STORES.
WE'LL SEE THESE FOR SALE ABOUT
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS OR SO FOR
THIS PART --
OR THIS COMBINATION OF PARTS --
AMMUNITION FEEDING DEVICES.
THIS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF A TEN
ROUND MAGAZINE SOMETHING LIKE
THIS WOULD BE COVERED --
MOVING DOWN UNFINISHED RECEIVER.
THIS IS A AN EXAMPLE HERE OF AN
UNFINISHED AIR FIFTEEN SELL
RECEIVER [inaudible]
THIS.
GIVEN A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.
IT TURNED INTO THIS PIECE HERE.
THIS IS AN UPPER RECEIVER AGAIN.
THE BARREL ATTACHED --
AN EXAMPLE HERE OF A RECEIVER
TUBE.
IT'S GOT THE MARKINGS FOR THE
SPECIFIC --
FARM THAT WOULD BE COVERED --
WERE BITTEN POTENTIALLY BUILT
OUT OF THIS --
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE
COVERED.
A RECEIVER FLAT SO THIS THIS
PIECE HERE --
WOULD EVENTUALLY GET TURNED
INTO.
AND MAKE IT FORTY SEVEN STYLE --
SURE BO RIFLE IN THIS CASE --
COULD BE A PISTOL COULD BE RIFLE
--
DEPENDING ON WHAT THE BUILDER
WAS GONNA DO [inaudible]
AND MOVING DOWN --
I FINISHED UPPER RECEIVER HOLDS
USES ON AGAIN BUT THIS PIECE
HERE IS A FINNISH UPPER RECEIVER
IT'S READY TO ACCEPT OF SMALL
PARTS THAT.
WOULD [inaudible]
CORRECT --
OKAY UNFINISHED HANDGUN FRAME AN
EXAMPLE OF THAT WOULD BE.
THIS KIT AVAILABLE FOR ABOUT A
HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS.
INSIDE THIS RED PLASTIC
[inaudible]
THE UNFINISHED [inaudible]
NON FARM [inaudible]
IN ABOUT.
LARA TWENTY EIGHT MINUTES OR SO
BEFORE THE RIGHT YOUTUBE VIDEO.
YOU'LL BE ABLE.
TO TURN THIS INTO A FIREARM.
CRITICS WORKABLE AND AND
FIREBALL DISLIKE THIS.
THIS IS ONE THAT WAS BUILT.
PUBLIC UP MONTHS AGO BY ONE OF
OUR AGENTS REFORM IN THAT VIDEO.
SO WE'RE FINDING THESE UP IN ON
THE STATE.
THE FINISH SLIDE.
SO AGAIN REFERENCING THE WORKING
WEAPON THE SLIDE.
AS PART HOLD THE BARREL
[inaudible]
TRIGGER PACK.
IT'S GONNA BE AN EXAMPLE HERE
FOR THE HECKLER COKE STYLE
SYSTEM THAT'S MENTIONED IN THE
BILL [inaudible]
AND OTHER NOT I HAVE --
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
AMANDA WILLCOX AGAIN ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAPTERS OF
THE BRADY CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT
GUN VIOLENCE --
THE BRADY CAMPAIGN SUPPORTS ARTS
SERVER KEY GOALS HAVE A
ACQUISITION EVERY CAN TRANSFER.
AND ALSO RECORD WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WE
REGULATE GUN DEALERS AND GUN
SHOWS TO MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS
I THINK BECAUSE OF THE SUCCESS
OF OUR LAWS.
THE NEW WAY TO GET AROUND THAT
TO ACQUIRE A GUN WITHOUT A
BACKGROUND CHECK FLUNK ONE IS
PROHIBITED OR TO HAVE A GUN
THAT'S NOT REGISTERED IN THE
SYSTEM.
IS FOR PEOPLE --
TO TO ASSEMBLE.
I BUILD THEIR OWN GUNS
PARTICULARLY FROM UNFINISHED
RECEIVERS --
THIS IS A GROWING.
ESCALATING AN ALARMING
DEVELOPMENT ACTION OR STAY IN
AND AS HE HEARD THE TAPE HAVE
BUT TO HAMMER SHOOTING AS A
TERRIBLE EXAMPLE OF THAT.
WHERE THE PERSON DID HAVE GUNS
THAT WERE REGISTERED HE DID
RELINQUISH THEM WHEN HE HAD A
RESTRAINING ORDER BUT HE THEN
MADE EITHER BEFORE NO ONE KNEW
ABOUT OR AFTER THAT?
HE MANUFACTURED --
HIS OWN GUNS AND WE ALL SAW WHAT
HAPPENED INTO HIM COUNTY.
IT'S TRAGIC --
SO WE ARE VERY IN VERY STRONG
SUPPORT OF THIS I HAVE BEEN TO
GUN SHOWS IN MY OWN COUNTY
NEVADA COUNTY IN THE SCENE.
OTHER PARTS THAT ARE ON DISPLAY
HERE AND ARM RIGHT NOW SOMEONE
COULD ASSEMBLE THOSE NO
QUESTIONS ASKED UNDER
LEGISLATION THAT WAS ENACTED IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN ARE THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO REGISTER THOSE GUNS
AND GET A SERIAL NUMBER.
A FINNISH FIREARMS AND GET A
SERIAL NUMBER THAT'S SOMEWHAT
BASED ON THE HONOR SYSTEM OUR
INTEREST IS PRESENT BANNING THE
ACQUISITION IN THESE PARTS IN
THE FIRST PLACE BY PEOPLE ARE
PROHIBITED --
I ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS BILL
SEEKS THE RIGHT BALANCE IT'S
SIMILAR TO THE SCHEME THAT
EVENTUALLY THAT WE WILL HAVE
FOUR ON IN ADDITION BACKGROUND
CHECKS AND THAT IT'S AN INSTANT.
CLEARANCE TO GET A GUN ARM THAT
IS LESS --
LESS OF A CONVENIENCE TO OUR AB
FIREARM OWNER OR FIRE MAKER THEN
ARE THE TEN DAY WAITING PERIOD
AND A LONG BACKGROUND CHECK --
IN THE ACTUALLY THE ULTIMATE
SOLUTION WHICH I DON'T THINK THE
OPPONENTS WOULD LIKE IS TO SAY
NO MANUFACTURING GUNS PERIOD.
SO THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE DISSEMBLE
IN MANUFACTURE GUNS BUTTON DOES
MAKE SURE THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE
--
NOT PROHIBITED AND THAT DOJ HAS
RECORD THEREFORE WE AREN'T
SUPPORT AND WE'RE PLEASED THAT
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARE ISN'T
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL RESPONSE IN
THE BILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT STEP UP TO
THE MIKE PLEASE.
CALVIN QUICK BARRIERS TO
ACTIVISTS IN SUPPORT THANK YOU
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
REBECCA GONZALEZ VOLUNTEER WITH
THE BRADY CAMPAIGN TO PREVENT
GUN VIOLENCE SACRAMENTO VALLEY
CHAPTER.
EXCELLENT THANK YOU ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
UP MADAM CHAIR AS I PASSED THE
GAVEL BACK I JUST WANT YOU TO
KNOW THAT WE HAD A FULL DISPLAY
HERE I'M GOING TO ASK THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S RAP EVEN AS
OPPOSITION COMES UP TO STAY HERE
WITH HIS ITEMS I THINK YOU
SHOULD LEAVE ON THE DESK JUST AS
OTHER.
MEMBERS COME AND THEY CAN SEE IT
OF THE OTHER WITNESS WILL MAKE
ROOM PLEASE.
ARE AND WILL INVITE OPPOSITION
TO THE TABLE
[inaudible]
TIME.
NOW OF THE FOR S. WITNESS
ENOUGH.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE FOR
THE RECORD AND READ WITH
NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION ALSO
REPRESENTING CALIFORNIA RIFLE.
ASSOCIATION TODAY WE'RE HERE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL --
AS YOU'VE HEARD THIS IS BEEN
MARKETED AS THE GHOST KIND
LOOPHOLE LAW THAT WAS PASSED IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN THAT HASN'T BEEN
FULLY IMPLEMENTED WE JUST HAD
REGULATIONS ON THAT LAW.
APPROVED IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS.
AND THAT THIS IS TRYING TO
TREAT.
PARTS AS FIREARMS.
PARTS ARE NOT FARMS ARE NOT
TREATED BY THE BATF IS FIREARMS
ARE NOT TREATED BY CALIFORNIA'S
FIREARMS.
AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THEIR
CONSUMABLES VERY NEED TO BE
REPLACED THEY NEED TO BE
UPGRADED --
AND ALSO THEY DON'T HAVE UNIQUE
SERIAL NUMBER SO IT MAKES
ENFORCEMENT.
A REAL CHALLENGE.
SO WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO IS IT
WOULD.
REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A A
BACKGROUND CHECK.
AND RIGHT NOW IT'S BEING
MARKETED SIMILAR TO WHAT IS
GOING TO BE DONE FOR AMMUNITION.
NOW LET'S REMEMBER THAT THE
AMMUNITION BACKGROUND CHECK HAS
NOT BEEN IMPLEMENTED YET WE
DON'T HAVE ANY REGULATIONS ON
THAT.
WE DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW THAT'S
GOING TO WORK OTHER THAN WHAT'S
DESCRIBED IN THE BILL.
AND AS YOU'RE AWARE. TO IN ORDER
TAXES THE NEXT SYSTEM AS WELL AS
OUR BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM IN
CALIFORNIA IT CAN ONLY USE
SPECIFIC FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES.
AND FIREARM PARTS IS NOT
INCLUDED SO WHAT WE HAVE IS WE
HAVE -- A
KIND OF UNIQUE WAY OF GOING
ABOUT THAT AT LEAST AS WHAT'S
BEING DESCRIBED ALTHOUGH WE
DON'T HAVE OFFICIAL REGULATIONS
ON THE AMMO BACKGROUND CHECKS
WHICH INVOLVES A QUERYING THE
AUTOMATED FIREARM SYSTEM.
AND PERHAPS LOOKING AT THE AB
SYSTEM TO SEE WHETHER SOMEONE IS
A REGISTERED GUN AND WHETHER THE
PROHIBITED.
SO THAT STARTS TO BRING UP MAJOR
ISSUES INCLUDING WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOU DON'T HAVE A REGISTERED GUN
CAN YOU BUY A MAGAZINE. FOR FOR
A FIREARM THAT MAYBE AYE YOU
PURCHASE PRIOR TO LONG GUN
REGISTRATION WHICH WAS.
TWENTY FOURTEEN OR IF YOU HAVE A
BARREL THAT'S GONE BAD CAN YOU
DO THAT --
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU'RE FROM OUT
OF STATE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY
PROBABLY NOT GONNA HAVE A
REGISTERED FIREARM THE CITY
CALIFORNIA HOW IS THIS TRULY
GOING TO WORK?
OR NON RESIDENTS LET'S SAY
YOU'VE COME TO CALIFORNIA ON A
HUNTING TRIP OR YOU'RE OUT HERE
SHOOTING A COMPETITION.
WHAT HAPPENS IF --
PURE BARRELS GONE BAD OR YOU GET
CALIFORNIA WENT MY GOSH. TEN
ROUND MAGAZINES.
I NEED TO BUY ONE TO BE IN
COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW.
AND ALL THE SUDDEN YOU CAME.
SO IT STARTS TO PRESENT THESE
ISSUES I ONE THING THAT IS.
A NOTED IS ANTIQUE FIREARMS IT
SAYS EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE USE OF
ANTIQUE FIREARM WHO MAKES THAT
DETERMINATION I KNOW WE DO HAVE
A DEFINITION THAT REVOLVES
AROUND AN ANTIQUE FIREARMS --
BUT IS THIS IS THIS REFERENCE IS
EXCLUSIVE IS DOJ GONNA MAKE THAT
DETERMINATION ONE OF THE BIG
ISSUES THAT WE'RE HAVING RIGHT
NOW.
WITH THE LAWS REGARDING --
YOU SO WEAPONS CONTROL ACT AND
PARTS THAT PEOPLE ARE USING TO
TRY AND BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THAT LAW.
IS DOJ WILL NOT ISSUE AN
OPINION.
ON WHETHER A PART IS ACCEPTABLE
UNDER THE LAW.
SO NOW YOU HAVE CITIZENS IN A
STATE OF FLUX WHERE THEY DON'T
KNOW WHAT IS LEGAL AND WHAT IS
NOT LEGAL AND THEY'RE AT
JEOPARDY OF BECOMING CRIMINALS.
AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S VERY
DIFFICULT TO BE IS A GUN OWNER
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THERE'S A BOOK THAT.
ARE ATTORNEYS ROAD IT'S OVER
FIVE HUNDRED PAGES AND THIS IS
GOING TO CONTINUE TO ADD. TO THE
CONFUSION --
I TALKED A LITTLE THE RESIDENTS
IN CALIFORNIA NOT BEING ABLE TO
PURCHASE.
I'M A MUST WE HAVE SOME
REGULATIONS THAT THAT MAKE DO
FOR THAT BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF
YOU'VE GONE OUT OF STATE ON A
HUNTING TRIP.
AND YOU'VE YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED AN
ISSUE WHERE YOU NEED TO BUY A
PART TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE YOU'RE
FIREARMS GOING TO BE OPERABLE
WHILE YOU'RE ON THAT TRIP.
WALL SUDDEN YOU'RE A CRIMINAL IF
YOU BRING IT BACK IN --
ON YOUR GUN WHICH I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU GOT AND FOUR SO YOU
WOULD.
POSSIBLY LEGALLY PURCHASED THIS
PART OVER AND ABOUT OUR ARIZONA
OR COLORADO OR WHEREVER YOU'VE
GONE.
AND THEN BEFORE YOU GET BACK TO
CALIFORNIA GONNA HAVE TO STOP.
AND YOU CAN HAVE TO SHIP IT BACK
TO CALIFORNIA SO THEY CAN RUN A
BACKGROUND CHECK ON SOMETHING
THAT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE BEEN
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO ENFORCE
BECAUSE AT YOU KNOW THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT PARTS.
THAT DON'T HAVE UNIQUE SERIAL
NUMBERS ON IT AND SO FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO ACTUALLY ENFORCE
THIS.
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE
YOUR GONNA PROBABLY DISASSEMBLE
IT ASSUMING THAT YOU HAVE A
LEGALLY PURCHASED LOWER RECEIVER
IN A FOR TALKING ABOUT CRIMINALS
HERE WHO ARE.
WHO ARE EXPLOITING A LOOPHOLE
THERE ARE YOU NOT COMPLYING WITH
THE UNDERLYING LAW WHICH IS THE
INTERVAL FUNCTION OF A FIRE
WHICH IS A FRAME A RECEIVER?
SO.
THIS IS THIS IS CREATING NOTHING
BUT ISSUES THE ENFORCEMENT IS
GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE.
AND WHAT WE CONSISTENTLY SEEN
WITH THE LAWS PASSED BY THIS
LEGISLATURE IS THAT WE'RE NOT
GETTING TIMELY REGULATIONS. TO
DO THAT NOR IS DOJ ABLE TO KEEP
UP THE AB SYSTEM THAT'S TELL US
TEN THOUSAND KNOWN PROHIBITED
PERSONS ON IT.
WITH THAT WERE IN OPPOSITION
THANK YOU [inaudible]
IF.
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE CURRICULA IS ABOUT THE
FARMS POLICY COALITION I'M SO
MUCH OF WHAT HE STATED THAT DAYS
IS SPOT ON IN PARTICULAR THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS GOING TO BE
WITH THE ENFORCEMENT.
AND WHILE WE SEE EXAMPLES HERE
OF ITEMS THAT SOME OF WHICH LOOK
LIKE A WELL I CAN CLEARLY
IDENTIFY THAT IS A IS A
NECESSARY FIREARM PARTS.
THAT ARE SOME ITEMS HERE THAT
YOU CAN LOOK.
SARALEE OR SCOOT WOULD SOLELY BE
FIREARM PARTS BUT UNDER THIS LAW
OF THESE PARTS WOULD HAVE TO GO
YOU YOU WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH
A BACKGROUND CHECK IN ORDER TO
PURCHASE ITEMS.
THAT -- THAT
RESEMBLE SOME OF THESE ITEMS AND
JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE AS I
AS I CAME IN THIS MORNING IN
ORDER TO TESTIFY I BROUGHT A
COUPLE OF ITEMS TO DISPLAY
MYSELF AS I WENT THROUGH THE
SERGEANTS. ONE OF THOSE ITEMS
WAS CLEARLY IDENTIFIABLE AS A
FIREARM PART THAT WAS THAT THAT
WAS A 0% LOWER RECEIVER --
WHICH BASICALLY IS A BLOCK OF
ALUMINUM ANOTHER WHICH IS JUST
LIKE AN ITEM THAT HE SHOWED HIS
IN A QUE FLAT FOR SOME REASON
THIS WAS NOT IDENTIFIABLE AS A
NECESSARY FIRE ON PART.
BUT A BLOCK OF ALUMINUM WAS AND
THAT GOES BACK TO THE IDEA OF
WHO IS DOING THE IDENTIFYING WHO
IS WHO'S GOING TO BE THE ONE
WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THE
DETERMINATION.
AS TO WHAT IS A NECESSARY PART
IN TERMS OF THE DEFINITIONS
DEFINITIONS THAT ARE THAT ARE
GOING TO BE SEVEN LAW OUGHT TO
BE SET BY THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE.
NOT THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE IT'S NOT THEIR JOB TO
WRITE LAWS.
AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO THE
EXPERT HERE HE'S NOT GOING TO BE
THERE WHEN THESE LAWS ARE BEING
ENFORCED WHEN THEY'RE BEING
FORCED YOU KNOW IT'S GONNA BE
THEIR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME
LEVEL OF EXPERTISE.
OR THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT
ATTORNEY WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE
THE SAME LEVEL OF EXPERTISE OR A
JUDGE WHO ONCE AGAIN MAY OR MAY
NOT HAVE THE SAME LEVEL OF
EXPERTISE.
AND THEN ON TOP OF IT.
WE'RE GOING TO USE AS A
BACKGROUND CHECK SYSTEM A MODEL
WHICH HASN'T EVEN BEEN
IMPLEMENTED YET.
I A SYSTEM WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO
BE OUR OWN BOARD AND RUNNING AND
UP AND RNNING WITHIN MONTHS AND
NO ONE KNOWS HOW EXACTLY THAT IS
GOING TO WORK.
SO INSTEAD OF THE IT AT THE VERY
LEAST ALLOWING THAT SYSTEM TO BE
PUT IN PLACE WORKING OUT THE
BUGS ON THAT BACKGROUND CHECKS
SYSTEM WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A
WHOLE NEW SYSTEM ON TOP OF THAT.
IT'S LIKE BUILDING A HOUSE ON
QUICKSAND.
BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
GOING TO WORK SO HEY LET'S JUST
ADD TO IT.
AND THEN FINALLY THE OTHER THE
OTHER ISSUE IS HAS TO DO WITH
WITH LAW ABIDING GUN OWNERS WHO
SIMPLY WANT.
TO I WANT TO REPAIR THEIR
FIREARMS TAKE CARE OF THEIR ART
FIREARMS MAINTAIN THEIR FIREARMS
WHO MAY LIVE IN RURAL
COMMUNITIES WHERE IT IS MADE
MAYOR MAY NOT BE EASY TO GET
ACCESS.
TO UP FEDERAL FIREARMS LICENSEES
ARE FIREARMS RETAILERS WHERE
THEY IT'S IT.
PROBABLY IN SOME CASES THE ONLY
WAY IN WHICH THEY CAN GET THESE
PARTS WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE
HUNDREDS OF MILES AYE IS BY
ORDERING THEM ONLINE THEY WILL
NO LONGER BE THERE WILL NO
LONGER BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND WE ALL KNOW THAT IN
CALIFORNIA THERE MAKING IT THE
LAWS MAKING IT HARDER AND HARDER
TO BE A BUSINESS OWNER IN STATE
CALIFORNIA LET ALONE A LICENSED
FIREARM WEEK --
WE SEE THIS AS A BILL THAT DOES
THAT CAST EIGHT A VERY VERY
EXTREMELY TOO WIDE A NET IN
ORDER TO TO GO AFTER A NARROW
GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS WHICH I
THINK THE ASSEMBLY MINUTES
TRYING TO GO AFTER.
AND I APPLAUD FOR WANTING TO GO
AFTER THOSE INDIVIDUALS THE
PROBLEM IS IS THAT HE'S CATCHING
ARE AT A HUGE NUMBER OF LAW
ABIDING CALIFORNIA CITIZENS.
A IN THIS -
OVERLY BROAD NET AND IT'S FOR
THESE REASONS WE OPPOSE
[inaudible]
ADDITION WITNESSES POSITION A
MISTER CHAIRMAN A MEMBER SAMPRAS
REPRESENTING GUNS A CALIFORNIA
ARE FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN WAS
STATE SENATOR HL RICHARDSON.
WHO SERVED IN THIS AUGUST BODY
FOR TWENTY TWO YEARS?
HE WAS A STRONG PROPONENT OF
LAW.
AND ORDER AND WAS A STRONG
DEFENDER OF THE SECOND
AMENDMENT.
HE BROUGHT TO THIS COMMITTEE IN
THE DAY.
FIREARMS THAT WERE MANUFACTURED
IN A CALIFORNIA PENAL
INSTITUTIONS CORRECTIONAL
INSTITUTIONS EXCUSE ME --
FIREARMS THAT WERE MADE.
IN A TOTALLY GUN FREE
ENVIRONMENT [inaudible]
GUNS SILENCE HANDGUNS SINGLE
SHOT RIFLES.
A SHOT GUNS THAT WERE
MANUFACTURED [inaudible]
IN PRISON.
WHERE THEY HAD NONE OF THIS
STUFF SO IF THAT THE THE THOUGHT
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PASS A LAW
THAT'S GOING TO STOP A CRIMINAL
FROM?
COMMITTING A CRIME A JUST HASN'T
WORKED IT DOESN'T WORK IN OUR IN
OUR CORRECTIONAL SYSTEM AND IT'S
NOT GONNA WORK IN PUBLIC
[inaudible]
SECONDLY.
THAT THE UNDER THE DEFINITIONS
OF THIS BILL FIRST OF ALL THE H.
K. --
TRIGGER GROUP.
THE H. K. IN ALL CONFIGURATIONS
IS ILLEGAL THE ONE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA UNLESS IT WAS
REGISTERED AS A CALIFORNIA
ASSAULT WEAPON BACK IN THE EARLY
NINETIES [inaudible]
SO.
THERE IS NO MARKET ORDER OF WHY
WOULD ANYBODY WANT AND AND AN
HK.
NINETY ONE NINETY TO NINETY
THREE A TRIGGER GROUP FOREGONE
THAT.
REALLY DOESN'T EXIST EXCEPT
MAYBE IN A FEW DOZEN EXAMPLES IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THE BARRELS THAT ARE BEING
DISCUSSED HERE.
READILY IDENTIFIABLE FIREARMS
PARTS THE SAME BARREL BLANK THAT
IS USED TO MANUFACTURE AND UPPER
RECEIVER TO PUT TOGETHER A
MODERN SPORTING RIFLE THE NAKED
FORTY SEVEN ARE THEY ARE FIFTEEN
OR NAY ART AND ALL THE SAME
BARREL BLANKS CAN BE USED. TO
REPAIR [inaudible]
AND RESTORE [inaudible]
ANTIQUE FIREARMS.
THAT MIGHT BE OF THE SAME
CALIBER.
THEY'RE THE SAME ONES SO FIRST
YEAR EXEMPTING AND DANTE --
GUNS FROM THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
LAW AND ALL OF US ARE YOU SAYING
WELL NO NOT REALLY BECAUSE THIS
PART CAN BE USED IN YOUR ANTI
GUN AND IT CAN BE USED IN A NAY
ARE.
OR NAY QUE THEREFORE WE'RE YOU
KNOW SCREW YOU WERE GET WE'RE
GONNA WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE NTH
DEGREE WITH THE LAW --
AND IT WEEK THAT.
IT IS SO FRUSTRATING.
WHEN WE WHEN WE COME TO TO
TESTIFY WITH REGARDS TO TO
FIREARM PARTS FARMS ACTIONS
FIREARMS DESIGNS AND AND THE THE
AUTHORS KNOW LITTLE OR NOTHING
ABOUT THEM OR HOW THEY WORK OR
HOW THEY'RE USED TO KNOWN BY THE
GENERAL PUBLIC?
WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT
THE THE PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE AT
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DO TO
ENFORCE THE LAW THAT'S THEIR
JOB.
THAT'S THEIR JOB.
AND WHEN THEY'RE ASKED TO BRING
IN ALL THESE PARTS TO TO AS
EXAMPLES [inaudible]
YOU KNOW.
LATELY IT'S UNFAIR BECAUSE WE
CANNOT BRING EXAMPLES OURSELVES
TO SHOW YOU THE EXACT OPPOSITE
SIDE OF THE EQUATION.
SO WE'RE ASKING THIS COMMITTEE.
THOSE WHO ARE LISTENING --
PLEASE.
TAKE A LOOK THIS BILL AND SAY
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS NOT.
READY FOR PRIMETIME THIS BILL IS
NOT GOING TO STOP A SINGLE
CRIMINAL.
FROM COMMITTING A CRIME OF
BUILDING AN ILLEGAL GUN.
ALL THIS IS GOING TO DO IS
INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS OF LAW
ABIDING CITIZENS. TO ACCESS AND
BUILD THEIR OWN GUNS WHICH IS
TOTALLY LEGAL UNDER CALIFORNIA
AND FEDERAL LAW HAS BEEN LEGAL
IN AMERICA.
SINCE THE COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED.
AND IT HAS BEEN LEGAL IN
CALIFORNIA NOW WE WANT TO MAKE
THAT MUCH MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.
WHAT GOOD DOES UNKNOWN WHO ALL
THE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS ARE IF
YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO
FIND OUT WHO THE CRIMINAL? FOR
THESE REASONS AND A HOST OF
OTHERS WE ARE IN STRONG
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL THAT IS
NOT GONNA ACCOMPLISH THE STATED
GOALS THANK YOU.

SO MR CHOW AS WE LOOK AT THE
FILE ORDER.
EUROPE.
AND THE FILE ITEM IS.
WE'RE ON FILE ITEM FIFTEEN WHICH
IS A BEEP TWENTY FIFTY EIGHT
DEALING WITH VEHICLES MISTER
CHOW THANK YOU VERY MUCH
ADVENTURE AND THE SENATORS SAW.
LIKE TO START OFF BY ACCEPTING
THE COMEDIAN MEN MEN SO TO
CLARIFY THAT CANNABIS IS
INCLUDED IN THE CHARGING
SUBSECTION. TWENTY YOU WHY STEP
INVOLVE DRUGS AND ALCOHOL AND
ALSO TO ENSURE THAT THE STATE
HAS DATA PERTAINING TO THE YOU
AYE.
SIR INVOLVING CANNABIS AND OTHER
THREATS.
AB TWENTY FIFTY EIGHT WOULD
ESTABLISH CANNABIS AS A SEPARATE
CHARGING SUBSECTION WITHIN
CALIFORNIA'S DO YOU AYE CODE.
AS WE HAVE SEEN IN OTHER STATES
THAT HAVE LEGALIZED CANADA'S.
AN INCREASE IN CANNABIS DRUG
DRIVING CAN BE EXPECTED DUE TO
LEGALIZATION.
AFTER LEGALIZATION THE STATES OF
COLORADO AND WASHINGTON BOTH
EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN
CANADA'S INVOLVED ACCIDENTS IN.
INCLUDING FATALITIES WITH
WASHINGTON STATE HAVING AND 81%
INCREASE IN THESE ACCIDENTS AND
COLORADO EXPERIENCING A 1100405%
INCREASE.
IN THESE ACCIDENTS BETWEEN
TWENTY THIRTEEN STEEN.
ALLOWING CANNABIS TO HAVE ITS
OWN SUBSECTION WITHIN THE D. YOU
AYE CODE WILL GIVE OFFICERS.
THE ABILITY TO SPECIFICALLY
CHARGE SOMEONE WITH DRIVING
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CANADA'S
AS OPPOSED TO THE CURRENT BROAD
CATEGORY OF JUST DRIVING UNDER
THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS.
WHICH OFFICERS CURRENTLY USED TO
CHARGE INDIVIDUALS FOR CANNABIS
AT THE UI'S.
AS A RESULT OF THE CURRENT
SYSTEM THE STATE CURRENTLY HOUSE
NO WAY TO DETERMINE HOW MANY
CANNABIS DO YOU WISE OCCUR
ANNUALLY.
BECAUSE THIS SPECIFIC SUBSTANCE
ISN'T SPECIFY WHEN SOMEONE IS
CHARGED ADDING CANNABIS AS HIS
OWN SUBSECTION WILL ALLOW THE
STATE TO HAVE ACCURATE AND
RELIABLE DATA.
ALPHA HOW MANY CANNABIS THE U.
EYES OCCUR IN THE STATE ANNUALLY
WHICH WILL BE HELPFUL IN
ASSISTING THE STATE TO COME UP
WITH OUR AND INFORM POLICY
AROUND CANNABIS DO YOU YES.
AS WE TRANSITION INTO THE
LEGALIZE CANNABIS MARKET I WOULD
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE.
THINK YOU WILL HEAR FROM YOUR
WITNESS IN SUPPORT.
VENTURE MEMBERS TANTALUS ON ON
BEHALF OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN
SUPPORT --
AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER NOTED IN THE
STATES OF COLORADO AND
WASHINGTON WHEN THEY LEGALIZE
MARIJUANA --
THEY DID NOT HAVE STATUTES ON
THE BOOKS A SPECIFIC TO
MARIJUANA RELATED DRIVING
OFFENSES --
BECAUSE OF THAT IN THOSE STATES.
THEY HAD.
AN INCREASE IN CANNABIS RELATED
DO YOU LIVE ACCIDENTS.
HOWEVER.
THEY WOULD NEVER UP ABLE TO
ESTABLISH A BASELINE ALSO YOU
CANNOT DETERMINE.
WHAT THE FACT YOU WOULDN'T CARE
MEDICATIONS AND WHO HAS --
THIS BILL DOESN'T ALTER
PENALTIES WHICH IT SIMPLY ALLOWS
THE STATE TO ESTABLISH THAT
KEVIN KLINE.
SO THAT WE CAN DETERMINE HOW TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS OF PROPOSITION.
SIXTY FOUR ON IT'S THE POSITION
OF OUR OFFICE THAT BEYOND THE
VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN.
AND CANNABIS IS NOW LEGAL.
HOWEVER S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
HELP.
EXPEDITE THE OPERATION OF THE
LAW AND DETERMINE WHAT.
IMPACT IF ANY THERE ARE --
THIS BILL TO HELP DO THAT AND WE
THANK YOU QUICK QUESTION BEFORE
WE HEAR FROM THE OTHER --
WITH HIS SUPPORT IS THAT HAVE
LED SUNSET OF WORST ALISON BATES
A BASELINE DOES IT.
IT IS THERE A TIME PERIOD BY
WHICH WE HOPE TO DO THAT OR IT
JUST.
THIS WILL BECOME THE NEW LAW.
OKAY AND WILL JUST CONTINUE TO
COLLECT IT RIGHT RIGHT I DID NOT
THERE WAS AN EXPECTATION ABOUT
WHAT THE NEXT PHASE THAT THIS
WOULD BE AN END IN THEN WE WOULD
MOVE ON BUT OKAY THANK YOU.
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
TIFFANY MATHIS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
ASSOCIATION AND SUPPORT THANK
YOU.
JONATHAN WINNERS ON BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA POLICE CHIEF
ASSOCIATION AND SUPPORT CRATE
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
YES GARETH BUYERS ó CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC DEFENDERS ASSOCIATION WE
OPPOSE THIS BILL.
A WE WE THINK THAT IT'S
UNNECESSARY THERE'S NO HARM IN.
A RECORDING OR WHETHER IT'S
DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ALCOHOL OR HEROIN OR CODEINE OR
OPIATES OR MARIJUANA.
WHAT WE THINK IS NOT RIGHT IS TO
SINGLE OUT MARIJUANA AND SAY
THIS IS A SPECIAL CATEGORY ON
ITS OWN --
THERE'S NO PARTICULAR REASON TO
DO THAT --
EXCEPT PERHAPS TO MAKE THE
PENALTIES WORST TO FIND A
DATABASE A REASON WHY GOSH WE
SHOULD MAKE THIS EVEN WORSE THAN
ALL THE OTHER --
POSSIBLE --
METHODS OF DRIVING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE --
AND I DON'T THINK THAT WE DON'T
THINK THAT THAT IS WARRANTED --
AND IN ADDITION.
I THERE'S ARE.
THERE'S THERE'S NO REASON TO IT
WENT WHEN WHEN COURTS LOOK AT
THIS LAW.
THEY'RE GONNA SAY WELL WHAT'S
DIFFERENT WHY IS THIS IN HERE
WHY IS MARIJUANA SINGLED OUT IT
MUST BE THAT THE LEGISLATURE
MEANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT THE
PENALTIES ARE THE SAME.
WHAT DID THE LEGISLATURE MEAN TO
BE DIFFERENT --
AND THE COURTS ARE LIKELY TO
SELL OVERLY MUCH OF INTENDED A
WORSE PENALTY MUST HAVE INTENDED
WITHIN THE RANGE --
WHY DID THEY THAT'S WHY THEY
SINGLE THAT OUT?
ON IF THEY'VE INTENT IS AND ARE
IN THE LEGISLATIVE HISTORY DOES
SAY IT.
IF THE INTENT IS JUST TO KEEP
TRACK OF THE NUMBER OF MARIJUANA
ARRESTS THAT CAN BE DONE.
WITHOUT A NEW LAW.
YEAH I JUST LIKE AND HAVE BEEN
DONE WITH ANY OTHER DRUG.
OR ALTERNATIVELY COULD MAKE ALL
THE OTHER DRUGS BUT TO SINGLE
OUT MARIJUANA WE DON'T THINK IS
JUSTIFIED.
SO I GUESS IT'S SAFE TO ASSUME
THE MEMBERS THE OFFER TOOK COULD
NOT REMOVE YOUR OPPOSITION
[inaudible]
GUY.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER OPPOSITION
TO THE BILL.
YES SOME OF BEATRICE LOW NAMBLA
CAMPAIGN AND I'VE WE OPPOSE THIS
BILL FOR THE FACT OF THE
CONTINUED.
R. INJUSTICE ON THE BLACK AND
BROWN COMMUNITY CONCERNING THIS
BILL I THINK THAT THERE IF YOU
GONNA DO SOMETHING DO IT BUT I
THINK THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE
SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH
IT BECAUSE THIS LAW WILL
BENEFIT.
THE KIND.
HARASSMENT AND THEN JUST
PROSECUTION OF BLACK AND BROWN
PEOPLE.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER OPPOSITION.
HI ELLEN COME FROM CALIFORNIA
NORMAL WE HAVE NOT OPPOSE THIS
BILL I JUST SAW THE AMENDMENTS
AND I TOO AM CONFUSED WHY THE
WERE FINE WITH KEEPING
STATISTICS BUT WHY IS THIS NOT
MENTIONED IN THE BILL IT.
IT SEEMS THAT THE INTENT IS IS
IN ORDER TO KEEP THE STATISTICS
BUT PERHAPS THAT SHOULD BE
STATED AND I ECHO THE CONCERNS
ABOUT INCREASE PENALTIES.
THANK YOU [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER OPPOSITION.
SEEN NONE --
TO CHARLIE YOU WANNA RESPOND
YEAH I'M GONNA ASK COMMUNIST
TERRORISTS BECAUSE YOUR PLEASE
DO.
I'M CHAIR OF UNLIKE ALL THE OF
THE DRUGS HEROIN THEM THE
OPIOIDS HAVE WRITTEN.
OF THOSE ARE STILL ILLEGAL UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW --
MARIJUANA IS NOW LEGAL.
AND SO -- WE
NEED.
TO KEEP TRACK OF THIS BILL
BECAUSE THE VOTERS HAVE SPOKEN
TO AND PROPOSITIONS.
HAS MONEY. FOR EDUCATION
CAMPAIGNS FOR ENFORCEMENT BUT IF
WE DON'T HAVE GOOD STATISTICS.
ON YOU KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IF
ANY.
THERE WILL BE --
WE DIDN'T WOULD MAKE NO REAL
SENSE OF HOW.
TO DISTRIBUTE THOSE --
THOSE MONIES ARE.
ONLY SPEAKING.
FOR OUR OFFICE IS --
WE DON'T SEE ANY NEED FOR AN
INCREASE IN PENALTIES WHO WHO --
AND WE TAKE THE COURTS WILL
REALIZE --
THAT MARIJUANA IS BEING.
SINGLED OUT BE THIS BECAUSE THE
VOTERS HAVE NOW LEGALIZE.
GOTTEN GIVEN THE STATUS OF THAT.
PRODUCT WRECK OF AN OFFICE TO BE
--
HAVING LANGUAGE ABOUT --
YOU KNOW THIS IS PRETTY
STATISTICAL PURPOSES IS NOT
OBJECTION WRITTEN.
OF I DON'T KNOW HOW [inaudible]
GOOD
.
SO IF SOME COMMITTEE STAFF WERE
TO DRAFT UNCODIFIED INTRO
LANGUAGE THAT COULD BE INCLUDED
IN THE IN THE FRONT SECTION OF
THE BILL WOULD YOU BE OPEN TO
THAT.
YET CLARIFIED THAT CLINTON IS
DATA COLLECTION ABSOLUTELY
BECAUSE I THINK WHAT ALL OF US
NEED TO DO IT IN IN YOUR WRITING
YOUR OPENING STATEMENT --
IS LEARN FROM THE STATE THAT
HAVE GONE BEFORE US.
AND TO REALLY BE CLEAR ABOUT
WHAT CONSTITUTES IMPAIRMENT
THAT'S MY CONCERN THAT YOU KNOW
BEFORE WE DOVE TAIL CANNABIS ARE
INFLUENCED.
DRIVING WITH ANY OF THE OTHER
CATEGORIES ALCOHOL OR ANY OTHER
DRUG IS TO BE REALLY CLEAR ABOUT
WHAT CONSTITUTES IMPAIRMENT THAT
IT SHOULD NOT BE IN KIND OF IN
THE I OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
BEHOLDER IF YOU WILL.
BUT TO DO THAT DO THE DATA
COLLECTION AND TO DO THE
RESEARCH TO FIGURE FIGURE THAT
OUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
IMPORTANT --
IF YOU'RE OPEN TO THAT
RECOMMENDATION --
WE DO NOT.
DO YOU HAVE ONE MORE POINT YOU
KNOW I KNOW THERE HAS TO AGREED
PUBLIC DEFENDERS --
WOULD BE AMENABLE TO PASS OUT
EXCELLENT.
PERFECT ALRIGHT.
I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES
TOGETHER.
SO MANY STAFF WILL WORK TO
DEVELOP THAT LANGUAGE IN AT THE
TO THE AMENDMENTS --
AND SO --
THE RECOMMENDATION WILL BE --
TO PASS ON TO TO THE FLOOR AS
AMENDED.
I WOULD WE GET SOME FOLKS TO
MAKE A MOTION AND VOTE SO THAT
WILL BE THE ACTION HAVE A GREAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
YOU.

OFFENSES REMOVED OR REDUCED FROM
THEIR RECORDS THE PROPOSITION
SIXTY FOUR PASSED IT.
INCLUDED PROVISIONS YOU NOT ONLY
PROSPECTIVELY REDUCE OR
ELIMINATE MANY CANNABIS LAW
VIOLATIONS BUT ALSO MAKE THEM
RETROACTIVE AND RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE A A CLUNKY SYSTEM WITH A
LOT OF HURDLES. TO OVERCOME THAT
WE CAN MAKE IT --
FASTER WE CAN STREAMLINE IT WE
CAN EXPEDITE IT.
AND I IT HAS MASSIVE BENEFITS
FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY ENJOY THE
SUBSTANTIVE RIGHT THIS THIS BILL
DOES NOT CREATE ANY SUBSTANTIVE
RIGHT IT JUST CREATES A MORE
EFFICIENT EXPEDITED PROCESS SO
THAT FOLKS CAN HAVE CRIMINAL
CONVICTIONS.
THAT UNDER LAW THERE TITLE TO
HAVE REDUCED OR REMOVED FROM
THEIR RECORDS IN --
AT HOW THAT ACTUALLY DONE AND
GET THEM CLOSER TO JOBS AND
HOUSING AND OTHER THINGS.
AND THAT THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO
ENJOY SO WE THINK THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT BILL IT HAS NO
OPPOSITION.
AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOU AYE
VOTE BY VOTE.
WE HAVE A UNISYS HERNANDEZ
CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICY
COORDINATOR WITH DRUG POLICY
ALLIANCE AND CHRISTINE DEBERRY
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SAN
FRANCISCO DISTRICT ATTORNEY
GEORGE GAS GOANS OFFICE.
RIGHT GOOD MORNING ARE UNABLE
CHAIR WOMAN MEMBER OF THE
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS OWN IS THAT NOT THIS POLICY
COORDINATOR WITH THE DRUG POLICY
ALLIANCE.
A LOCAL NATIONAL NONPROFIT
WORKING TO END THE WAR ON DRUGS
AND REPAIR THE HARMS CAUSED BY
THESE PUNITIVE FAIL AND FAIL
POLICIES.
I'M HERE TODAY TO URGE YOU TO
VOTE YES ON AB SEVENTEEN NINETY
THREE BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA
WHICH WOULD PROVIDE PROP SIXTY
FOUR RELIEF TO ALL CALIFORNIANS
AND NEEDED.
A FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS I
HAVE ORGANIZED.
FAIRS THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND
OF HEALTH OVER A THOUSAND PEOPLE
GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
EVEN FOR AN EDUCATED PERSON SUCH
AS MYSELF OF THIS PROCESS IS
DAUNTING AND DIFFICULT --
I EVEN IT ESPECIALLY WITHOUT AN
ATTORNEY A PERSON SEEKING RELIEF
HAS TO OBTAIN THE RECORD OF
CONVICTIONS --
AND SOMETIMES THAT INVOLVES
GOING TO DIFFERENT AGENCIES LIKE
PROBATION SHERIFFS AND THE FEES
ARE COSTLY LIKE FOR LIFE'S KIND
OF THE MINIMUM IT'SFIFTY FIVE
DOLLARS.
ARE AND THESE FOLKS THEN HAVE TO
TRY TO LOCATE THESE FORMS FILLED
OUT THE FORMS AND IF THEY MAKE
EVEN A SMALL AIR THE COURT CAN
DENY THAT APPLICATION FOR
RELIEF.
A PRIVATE ATTORNEYS CAN CHARGE
UP THE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ARE
TO PROVIDE PROP SIXTY FOUR
RELIEF IN THE AMOUNT OF LEGAL
SERVICES WITHIN OUR STATE ARE
VERY SCARCE --
LEAVING MANY PEOPLE WITH NO
PATHWAY TOWARDS PROP SIXTY FOR
RELIEF.
BLACK LATINO WHITE PEOPLE
SELLING USE MARIJUANA AROUND THE
SAME RATES YET WE SEE BLACK AND
LATINOS ARE THE ONES THAT GET
ARRESTED A FOR MARIJUANA
VIOLATIONS AT THE HIGHEST RATES.
ESPECIALLY YOUTH LAW AS OF
TWENTY FIFTEEN TWO THIRDS OF ALL
MISDEMEANOR MARIJUANA ARRESTS
WERE YOUTH WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE.
IN THE ENTIRE STATE --
THIS IS BEEN OUGHT THERE'S BEEN
VERY LITTLE COMMUNITY NEED
EDUCATION ON THIS PIECE WE ALL
KNOW THAT CANNABIS IS LEGAL BUT
NOT MNY PEOPLE KNOW THAT THEY
CAN CLEAR THE RECORD.
AS OF MARCH OF THIS YEAR LESSON
SEVEN THOUSAND APPLICATIONS HAVE
MISSED HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED IN
THE STATE FOR PROP SIXTY FOR
RELIEF.
OUT OF THE TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED OWN LESS
THAN FOUR HUNDRED OF THOSE
APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN FOR YOU
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEREFORE THOUSAND EIGHT EIGHT
HUNDRED REAL LIVE BARRIERS TO
SOMEONE WHO WAS A CRIMINAL
CONVICTION IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT KEEPS THEM FROM
GETTING HOUSING.
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES AND
EMPLOYMENT --
HAVING A CANNABIS CONVICTION ON
SOMEONE RECORD KEEPS THEM
DISENFRANCHISED FROM OUR
COMMUNITY AND OUR ECONOMY.
AB SEVENTEEN NINETY THREE WOULD
HELP REMOVE SOME OF THOSE REAL
LIFE BARRIERS AND MAKE MORE
PEOPLE ELIGIBLE FOR EDUCATION
AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
OUR COMMUNITIES THRIVE WHEN MORE
PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET JOBS AND
MORE PEOPLE ARE ABLE ABLE TO GO
TO SCHOOL.
ONCE AGAIN I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
AB SEVENTEEN NINETY THREE AND
HELP OUR COMMUNITY STRIVE THINK
YOU.
GOOD MORNING CHAIRWOMAN MITCHELL
AND THE I TELL.
THANK YOU TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BONTA FOR INVITING ME TO BE HERE
TODAY AND THE CHIEF OF STAFF FOR
DISTRICT ATTORNEY GEORGE GAS
GONE -- I
WOULD LIKE TO ECHO THE REMARKS
THE DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE AND
OBVIOUSLY RACIAL DISPARITIES
INEQUALITY ALL THE COLLATERAL
CONSEQUENCES THAT WERE JUST
MENTIONED ARE DETRIMENTAL TO
PUBLIC SAFETY.
PRISON NOT THE THINGS THAT THE
LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY WE
NEED TO EMPHASIZE THEIR THE
THINGS WE NEED TO ELIMINATE TO
MAKE SURE THAT ARE ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE SAFE.
ANY BARRIERS THERE ARE THINGS
THAT MAKE IT HARDER FOR AN
INDIVIDUAL TO FIND WORK HOUSING
OR EDUCATION.
UNDERMINE PUBLIC SAFETY IN THEIR
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO OUR GOALS
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT. TO ADVANCE
THE FAIRNESS IN SAFETY IDEA
GUESTS COME PURSUES IN ALL AREAS
OF OUR WORK IN JANUARY OF THIS
YEAR HE ANNOUNCED THAT WE WOULD
PRO ACTIVELY.
ADDRESS THE PRIOR MARIJUANA
CONVICTIONS FOR SAN FRANCISCANS.
TO ACHIEVE THIS WE ASK OUR COURT
SYSTEMS TO RUN FOR US A LIST OF
ALL OF THE STANDALONE MARIJUANA
CONVICTIONS IN OUR JURISDICTION.
DATING BACK TO NINETEEN SEVENTY
FIVE WHICH IS WHEN OUR COURT
SYSTEM I STARTED KEEPING THESE
RECORDS.
UP PRIOR TO MAKING THIS
ANNOUNCEMENT ONLY TWENTY THREE
PEOPLE IN A JURISDICTION HAD
APPLIED WHEN WE RAN OUR LIST WE
LEARNED THAT WE HAD OVER THREE
THOUSAND MISDEMEANOR CONVICTIONS
IN ALMOST FIVE THOUSAND FELONY
CONVICTIONS.
BUT CLEARLY A HUGE GAP BETWEEN
PEOPLES AWARENESS OF THE REMEDY
AND THEIR PURSUIT OF IT.
ONCE WE HAVE THIS LIST IN HAND
WE HAVE NOW WORKED WITH OUR
COURT SYSTEM TO DEVELOP AN
APPROPRIATE ONE PAGE FORM FOR
MISDEMEANORS QUITE SIMPLE TO
COMPLETE DUNBAR PARALEGALS.
WE'VE SOME COMPLETED UP OVER
SEVENTEEN HUNDRED OF THOSE
HOWEVER COURT SYSTEM HAS ONLY
BEEN ABLE TO PROCESS SIX HUNDRED
AND FIFTY OF THEM TO DATE
BECAUSE OF THEIR RESOURCE
LIMITATIONS.
AS AN IMPORTANT REASON FOR THIS
LEGISLATION AND OTHERS FOCUSED
ON THIS AREA THAT EVEN IN A
JURISDICTION WITH THE IN THIS
PROCESS. FOR OUR JURISDICTION
LARGELY A RESULT OF LIMITED
CLERK STAFF WITHIN THE COURTS
JUST.
IT'S CLEAR TO US THAT DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS ARE BEST POSITIONED
DESPAIR HAD THIS WORK WE'VE BEEN
PLEASED TO SEE MANY OTHER
JURISDICTIONS JOIN SUIT AROUND
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND WE HOPE THAT THE REMAINDER
WILL EVEN INDEPENDENT OF THIS
LEGISLATION TAKE A LEADERSHIP
ROLE IN CLOSING THE GAP BETWEEN
AN INDIVIDUAL'S RIGHT TO THIS
REMEDY AND THE ACTUAL THAT
GRANTING OF THE REMEDY.
THAT WE CAN REALLY MAKE THE
FRICTION AROUND OUR OPPOSITION
TO THESE UP PETITIONS BEING
FILED AND GRANTED.
WE EXPEDITE THE PROCESS MAKE IT
EASIER FOR THE COURTS AND OTHERS
AND TO HELP FACILITATE THIS WE
HAVE STARTED A PARTNERSHIP WITH
CODE FOR AMERICA.
THEY ARE DEVELOPING --
A PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP US
AUTOMATICALLY READ RAPSHEETS TO
DETERMINE ELIGIBILITY.
WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT THIS TOOL
WILL NOT ONLY HELP OURSELVES IN
SAN FRANCISCO BE ABLE TO
DETERMINE.
ELIGIBILITY ON THE FELONY CASES
WHICH DO HAVE SOME ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA BUT WILL SOON BE
SOMETHING THAT IS AVAILABLE TO
ALL OF THEIR JURISDICTIONS HERE
IN CALIFORNIA AND POTENTIALLY
OTHER.
AREAS THAT ARE INTEREST IN
PURSUING THIS.
WE EXPECT THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY
SHOULD BE AVAILABLE LATER THIS
SUMMER EARLY FALL AND WE WOULD
ENCOURAGE OTHER OFFICES TO
PURSUE THAT ALONG WITH US IT
ALLOWS.
THE AUTOMATIC SORTING OF
POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS
AND ANA FILLS ALL OF THE
PAPERWORK.
SO IT IS A GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
OUR EXCITED ABOUT THE
PARTNERSHIP CLIP AMERICA'S EAGER
TO FIND A LARGER STATIONS TO
WORK WITHIN THEIR IN PURSUIT OF
THOSE AND I BELIEVE SOME OF THE
JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE
ANNOUNCED THEIR INITIAL SUPPORT
WILL PROBABLY COME ONBOARD THIS
TOOL ONCE IT'S DEVELOPED.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOUR SUPPORT
FOR SEVENTEEN NINETY THREE AND
OTHER EFFORTS TO MAKE SURE TO
CLOSE THE GAP BETWEEN THE RIGHT
AND THE REMEDY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY ANY OTHER UP --
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
THEN CHAIR.
THEN FELIZ AUTOGRAPHED A LOS
ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE A WE ARE ALSO
IN SUPPORT WE WANT TO THANK.
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR A
BROADENING THE TIMELINE THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS HAVE TO
RESPOND TO ALL OF THE DIFFERENT
PETITIONS WAS HAVE CISCO COUNTY
THEY'VE IDENTIFIED. EIGHT
THOUSAND CASES IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY WE'VE SELF IDENTIFIED.
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND HOWEVER WE
KNOW THAT.
IT IS GOING TO BE LARGER WHEN
THE DEPARTMENT JUSTICE DOES
THEIR REPORTING.
BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE CHANGED
THE WAY MARIJUANA CASES WERE
FILED THE USED TO BE FILED UNDER
A CODE SECTION THAT APPLIED TO A
VAST ARRAY OF DIFFERENT DRUGS --
SO WE WILL FACE THE SAME
CHALLENGES AND LOS ANGELES
COUNTY BUT WE ARE COMMITTED --
TO ENSURING THAT ALL OF THE OR
APPRECIATE THAT HOPING THAT YOU
ALL WILL CALL CALLED FOR AMERICA

TO PROVIDING LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS WITH GUIDANCE WHEN THEY

DELIVERY DRIVER.
THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS TO
AUTHORIZE NOR SHOULD ISSUE A
FINAL BEHALF OF THE BUREAU.
IF THE DISTRIBUTORS IS NOT HAVE
A PHYSICAL MANIFEST WITH THEM IF
THEY FAILED TO SUBMIT THE
REQUIRED INFORMATION AND TO
TRACK AND TRACE.
THE BILL ALSO AUTHORIZES THE
FIND OF THE LICENSEE DOES NOT
HAVE THEIR DELIVERY REQUEST.
I'D LIKE TO NOTE THAT I'LL BE
TAKING THE AUTHOR AMENDMENTS TO
ADDRESS THE METHOD IN WHICH
OFFICERS WILL ISSUE THE SPLINES
ON BEHALF OF THE BUREAU.
UNDER CURRENT LAW LICENSEES ARE
REQUIRED TO HAVE THESE
MANIFESTED DELIVERY REQUEST WHEN
TRANSPORTING CANNABIS.
THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE CLEAR
DISTINCTION THAT DIFFERENTIATES
BETWEEN LEGAL OPERATOR AND DOES
BREAKING THE LAW.
WE WANT OFFICERS TO BE CHECKING
FOR THESE ITEMS SO THEY CAN
EASILY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN A
LICENSE YOU KNOW AS AN ACTOR.
WE ALSO WANT TO BE SURE THE
LICENSEES KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS TO FALL THESE REQUIREMENTS
AND THAT'S WHY.
AB TWENTY TWO FIFTY FIVE ALSO
CRIMINALIZES COUNTERFEITING
SHIPPING MANIFESTS.
THIS BILL ALSO PROVIDES
DIRECTION FOR HOW OFFICERS
SHOULD RESPOND TO SITUATIONS

NEED --
TOUGH ENFORCEMENT ON ILLEGAL
ACTORS ESPECIALLY IN
DISTRIBUTION SPACE --
WE OPERATE --
STATEWIDE WE HAVE THIRTEEN FLEET
VEHICLES AND TWENTY THREE CAO
MANAGERS SELL PRODUCT OF THIS
WAS A TOUCHY ISSUE FOR US
BECAUSE WE ARE ACTUALLY --
TWO YEARS AGO WHILE WE ARE

DONE AND THE COLLABORATIVE
PROCESS THAT HE'S UNDERTAKEN TO
ADDRESS ALL OF THE CONCERNS
RAISED BY OUR MEMBERS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
ANY ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
MADAM CHAIR RANT MARTIN ON
BEHALF OF BLACKBIRD I'M
LOGISTICS FIRST UP WE PLEASE
GREEN WITH THE MEMBER --
IN TERMS OF THE INTENT OF THE
BILL WITH A GREAT IDEA WE THINK
IT'S A SMART IDEA WE ARE.
A ESPECIALLY APPRECIATE THE FACT
THAT THE AMENDMENTS HE'S TALKING
ABOUT TAKING RELATIVE TO THE
BUREAU.
DEVELOPING A CITATION FORM AND
THEN HAVING LAW ENFORCEMENT ABLE
TO USE THAT ACTUALLY GIVE THEM
SOMETHING TANGIBLE TO DO WHEN
THEY COME ACROSS SOMEBODY.
I'M VIOLATED THIS PROVISION OF
THE LAW --
WE DO THINK THOUGH THAT HAVING
THAT CITATION FORM.
UNDERSCORES THE DISCONNECT.
THAT THE PENALTY PIECE OF THE
CONTINUES TO HAVE.
THE DEVON BUREAU CANNABIS
CONTROL HAS DEVELOPED
REGULATIONS ON THAT INCLUDE
DISCIPLINARY DISCIPLINARY
GUIDELINES FOR ALL HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE PAGES OF REGULATIONS
--
IS VERY VERY COMPREHENSIVE THEY
ARE CIRCUMSTANCE DRIVEN AND THEY
ARE MUCH MORE --
THEY'RE THEY'RE STRONGER THAN
THE THAN THE PENALTIES ON
PROPOSED IT IN THIS BILL BUT
THEY'RE ALSO --
THAT THERE THAT THE VIOLATORS
ARE PENALIZED BASED ON SEVERITY
OF THE SITUATION --
ONE OF OUR CONCERNS WITH
ACTUALLY NOT EXPRESSED AS BEFORE
BUT AS WE WATCH HIS BILL
INVOLVED IT BECOMES MORE CLEAR.
AT AND A MANDATORY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS A POP PENALTY.
IT ACTUALLY POTENTIALLY
UNDERSCORES THE OF OUR
UNDERMINES THE ABILITY OF THE
BUREAU TO ASSESS A HIGHER
PENALTY ON SOMEBODY WHO IS
ACTUALLY --
FLAGRANTLY VIOLATING THE LAW --
BECAUSE IT'S YOUR FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS A POP CAN END UP BEING A
COST OF DOING BUSINESS FOR A A
BAD ACTOR.
ON BOTH OF THE POTENTIAL OF
LICENSE REVOCATION WHICH IS THE
TOP OF THE OF THE PENALTIES THAT
THAT A THAT THE BUREAU HAS --
COULD BE IMPOSED --
IF IF THAT WAS THE THE THE
PENALTY STRUCTURE THAT WAS WAS
IN IN PLACE OF THE TIME.
I'M WE HAVE SUGGESTED TO THE
AUTHOR THAT PERHAPS --
THE FIVE MINUTE ALL THE PENALTY
COULD BE GUIDANCE --
TO THE BUREAU AS PART OF THEIR
DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES ON THAT
WITH THE CITATION WE THINK --
MAKE IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
WOULD MAKE THE BILL MUCH
STRONGER AND WOULD NOT VIOLATE
THE INTENT OF THE EXISTING
DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES.

I WOULD GO AHEAD AND START FOR
OUR RESENTING AB TWENTY THREE OH
TO PLACE.
ALSO YOUR STAFF.
FOR THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING WITH --
MY OFFICE IN ME ON ON THIS BILL
I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY AND
TAKING THE SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS
OF FAT.
OF THE COMMITTEE IN THIS AFTER
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COMMITTEE
THIS BILL IS A BIPARTISAN
MEASURE THAT WILL EXTEND THE
STATUE LIMITATIONS --
FOR PROSECUTING THE FAILURE TO
REPORT SEXUAL ASSAULT OF A CHILD
A RIGHT NOW THAT STATUE OF
LIMITATIONS THAT APPLIES TO
MANDATED REPORTERS WHICH ARE
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE REQUIRED
UNDER OUR CURRENT LAW. TO AND
NOTIFY LAW ENFORCEMENT THAT A
CHILD IS BEING ABUSED
PARTICULARLY SEXUAL ASSAULT.
AND THAT IT'S ONLY ONE YEAR.
AND WHAT WE LEARNED FROM THE
LARRY NASSER CASE IN MICHIGAN
AND LARRY NASSER DID VICTIMIZE
CALIFORNIANS ARE CONSTITUENTS --
AND ADJUSTABLE OF AROUND THE
COUNTRY THAT THERE ARE MANY
DOZENS AND DOZENS OF MANDATED
REPORTERS WHO FAILED TO DO
ANYTHING TO PROTECT THOSE.
CHILDREN WHEN THEY WERE --
IN SUSPICION THERE WAS CHILD
ABUSE HAPPENING AND THEY WAITED
OUT THE ONE YEAR STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS IN THE ABUSE CAN
CONTINUE ON WELL INTO THE FUTURE
AND IT.
AND WE HAVE FIVE MET WITH THOSE
VICTIMS --
THEY HAVE BEEN HERE THEY'VE BEEN
INTRODUCED IN THE LEGISLATURE --
AND ACTUALLY THE LEGISLATIVE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS A HAD.
THE RECEPTION WE GOT TO MEET
WITH THEM AND LEARN WHAT.
WE CAN DO BETTER TO PROTECT THEM
AND ONE OF THE ISSUES WAS TO
STRENGTHEN OUR LAWS WITH RESPECT
TO MANDATED REPORTERS WITH THIS
BILL DOES IS IT KEEPS THIS
CURRENT LAW WITH RESPECT TO WHO
IS A MANDATED REPORTER.
THAT IT IS A MISDEMEANOR IF YOU
FAILED TO REPORT.
ON IT KEEPS THE SAME STANDARD OF
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MANY
REPORTERS IT CHANGES THE STATUE
OF LIMITATIONS BECAUSE THE ABUSE
THAT MAY HAPPEN TO THE CHILD MAY
BE CONTINUING.
AND THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ALLOW I'M MORE OPPORTUNITY TO A
PROTECT THOSE KIDS AND TO HOLD
ACCOUNTABLE THOSE MANDATED
REPORTERS WHO SHIRK THAT
RESPONSIBILITY.
OF THE SIX AGAIN A BIPARTISAN
MEASURE I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR
THE COMMITTEES HARD WORK ON THIS
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE THE DO
WE HAVE WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
IF KATIE FERRARI FROM CONTRA
COSTA DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE.
THANK YOU WHO JUST MADE IN THE
ROOM THANK YOU KATE [inaudible]
THE MORNING.
HAVING THE I'VE BEEN ACROSS THE
TWELVE YEARS --
YOU KNOW WE SEE HOW THE LAW
TREATS SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN
DIFFERENTLY.
I'M WE SEE THE STATUE OF
LIMITATIONS IN PARTICULAR BEING.
WHY DO WE ANALYZE DIFFERENT IN
THIS AREA AND I THINK THAT'S FOR
CERTAINLY GOOD REASON YEAH I'M
EVEN AT THE MISDEMEANOR LEVEL WE
ALREADY HAVE [inaudible]
MISDEMEANORS.
DEALING IN THIS AREA OF THAT
HAVE A LONGER STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS THAN JUST THE ONE
YEAR.
I'M WE TREAT SEXUAL ABUSE
DIFFERENTLY WE KNOW THAT THERE'S
A DELAY.
IN REPORTING FOR CHILDREN WE
KNOW THAT THEIR OFTEN VICTIMIZED
BY FAMILY MEMBERS FRIENDS PEOPLE
THAT KNOW THEIR FAMILY.
SO WHEN A CHILD GOES TO A
MANDATORY REPORTER.
WE HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN
TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT.
REPORTER DOES THE RIGHT THING
AND DOES THEIR JOB.
WE SEE -- AB
TWENTY THREE OH THREE IS
BASICALLY CLOSING THE LOOPHOLE
HERE THAT IF WE WANT TO TREAT.
HOLD OFFENDERS ACCOUNTABLE
MANDATORY REPORTERS FOR NOT
DOING THEIR JOB.
WE NEED MORE THAN A ONE YEAR
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS --
AND THIS ISN'T THIS IS A
MISDEMEANOR THIS ISN'T GONNA
FILL OUR PRISONS THIS ISN'T
GOING TO BURDEN OUR SYSTEM THIS
IS REALLY I THINK A MESSAGE TO
VICTIMS ABOUT WHAT OUR
PRIORITIES ARE.
AS A SOCIETY AND WERE TELLING
THEM THAT IF THEY HAVE THE
COURAGE TO COME FORWARD.
AND SOMEBODY DOESN'T DO THE
RIGHT THING TO PROTECT THEM
THERE.
THEY ARE GOING TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE --
IMAGINE A CHILD IN THAT
SITUATION AND HOW VULNERABLE
THEY CAN BE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS FOR THAT MANDATORY REPORTED
TO DO THEIR JOB SO THAT THEY
CAN.
STOP IT YOU KNOW THAT
VICTIMIZATION PREVENT FURTHER
VICTIMS FROM --
YOU'VE BEEN VICTIMIZED SO IT IT
IS IMPORTANT AND WE REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT.
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES AND
SUPPORT.

MICHELLE THOMAS SHOT
REPRESENTING ALAMEDA COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY NANCY EMMALINE
SPORT.
DO A VERY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
AS THE APPROACH WITH IF YOU'RE
FIGHTING DISCHI CLARIFICATION OF
THE AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL
EXTEND THE STATUE LIMITATIONS.
FIVE YEARS AS OPPOSED TO
ELIMINATING THEM.
GREAT THANK YOU.
WHEN YOU'RE READY GO AHEAD?
OUT GOOD MORNING CATHY SURE FOR
THE ACLU OF CALIFORNIA.
STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS EXIST
FOR GOOD REASONS BOTHFOR
PRACTICAL REASONS AND AS A
MATTER OF FUNDAMENTAL FAIRNESS
FROM THE PRACTICAL STANDPOINT
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ENCOURAGE
LAW ENFORCEMENT TO INVESTIGATE
IN CHARGE CRIMES PROMPTLY.
AND TO ENSURE THAT CASES ARE
HEARD BEFORE EVIDENCE IS LOST
MEMORIES HAVE FADED.
AND WITNESSES BECOME AVAILABLE
BECOME UNAVAILABLE AS IS
IMPORTANT BOTH TO THE
PROSECUTION AND THE DEFENSE.
IN CASES REGARDING IN --
MISSIONS SUCH AS A FAILURE TO
REPORT CAN BE PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT TO A DEFENDANT TO BE
ABLE TO CONTEST THE CHARGES
WHILE MEMORIES ARE STILL FRESH.
I YEARS LATER AND WE WE
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENT BUT
EVEN FIVE YEARS LATER THE
DEFENDANT HIMSELF MAY HAVE
DIFFICULTY REMEMBERING WHAT HE
DID OR DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT AN
INCIDENT OF ABUSE ARE WHAT HE
MAY HAVE DONE TO TRY TO REPORT.
MAKING IT ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO
CONTEST THE PROSECUTION'S
VERSION OF EVENTS.
FROM A FAIRNESS STANDPOINT AT
SOME POINT NUMBER INDIVIDUAL
SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE SECURE IN
THE EXPECTATION THAT HE WILL NOT
BE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION FOR ENACT.
THAT IS LONG PAST.
MANDATE TO REPORTERS ARE PEOPLE
AND THAT THAT HELPING
PROFESSIONS OFTEN PEOPLE SUCH AS
TEACHERS WHO HAVE DEVOTED THEIR
LIVES TO HELPING CHILDREN.
I'M WE THINK THAT EXTENDING THE
THE TIME FOR CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION FOR AN ALLEGED
FAILURE TO REPORT THAT I WAS NOW
YEARS IN THE PAST WILL MAKE
THESE JOBS HARDER.
AND WHAT WITHOUT MAKING IT ANY
MORE LIKELY THAT ABUSE WILL BE
REPORTED AS REQUIRED WE ASK FOR
YOUR NOSE.
JUST IN OPPOSITION.
MEMBERS DO YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS MOTION MAYBE.
I THINK I THOUGHT WE HAVE WE
HAVE A QUORUM.
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT THE WE DON'T
AYE EBT WITH WE DON'T HAVE A
QUORUM DON'T WORRY.
NO NO YOU KNOW IF WE DON'T HAVE
A CORPSMAN NO BIG DEAL WILL WAIT
FOR THE QUORUM.
I THOUGHT WE ESTABLISHED AT SOME
POINT.
WELL I WAS ANY OTHER THAT'S WHY
I DON'T KNOW [inaudible]
SO [inaudible]
ARE [inaudible]
OKAY.
ZELDIN YOU MAY YOU MAY CLOSE.
THINK YOU SENATOR MITCHELL
APPRECIATE THAT --
IT PROSPECTIVELY AND ALSO
APPRECIATE THAT COMMITTEES
THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION I I DO
UNDERSCORE THIS IS THIS IS
PERSPECTIVE IT DOESN'T APPLY
RETROACTIVELY SO ALL MANDATED
REPORTERS WOULD BE ON NOTICE
THAT NOW THE STATURE LIMITATION
TO BE FIVE YEARS AND THEY HAVE
TO PUT THAT EXTRA BIT OF
DILIGENCE --
AND CAUTION INTO WHAT THEY DO
YOU KNOW AND AND SUSPECTED I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
WHEN THE MOTION CAN BE TAKEN
[inaudible]
VERY MUCH [inaudible]
OKAY -- SO
REMEMBER GRAYSON WOULD YOU LIKE
TO COME OUT AYE AND PRESENT AB.
TWENTY TO FORTY YOU JUST HAVE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
SENATORS.
CURRENT LAW EXEMPTS POLICE
OFFICERS COUNTY SHERIFF'S
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROLMAN
BART POLICE AND YOU SEE CSU
CAMPUS POLICE.
SERVING ON A CRIMINAL JURY THIS
BILL AB TWENTY TO FORTY PROVIDES
A MODEST BUT WHOLLY APPROPRIATE
UPDATE TO THE JURY SELECTION
PROCESS.
BY EXTENDING THIS EXEMPTION TO
PROBATION PAROLE AND
CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS.
IT'S NOT A QUESTION OF
CONVENIENCE OR EVEN HARDSHIP
IT'S ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTAL --
APPROPRIATENESS OF OUR JURY BY
TRIAL WHAT TRIAL BY JURY AND THE
ASSEMBLY JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS POINTED OUT THIS
CONCERN.
QUOTE HAVING POST CONVICTION
PEACE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROCESS DOES
RAISE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST.
NOT ONLY DO THEY SUPERVISE THE
RELEASED AND PROBATION OF AN
OFFENDER BUT POST CONVICTION
OFFICES ALSO ACT AS AN ARM OF
THE COURT BY PREPARING REPORTS
AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS TO
THE BENCH.
SO YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IT
WOULD BE COMPLETELY
INAPPROPRIATE FOR A PERSON TO BE
UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A
PAROLE OFFICER WHO VOTED TO
CONVICT THEM OF THE CRIME.
LET ME EMPHASIZE THAT WE'RE
DEALING WITH DIFFERENT
SITUATIONS NOW NOW THAT WERE IN
POST PROP 47-57 ONE OH NINE
REALIGNMENT WORLD.
IF THESE RECENT CRIMINAL JUSTICE
REFORMS ARE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IT
IS IMPERATIVE THAT PROBATION
OFFICERS AND THE INDIVIDUALS
THEY ARE SUPERVISING BUILD A
TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP IN ORDER
TO NAVIGATE THE PAROLE PROCESS.
THIS TRUST WILL NOT BE BUILT IF
PAROLE AND PROBATION OFFICES ARE
SUPERVISING INDIVIDUALS WHOSE
JURY THEY SERVED ON AB TWENTY TO
FORTY IS A COMMONSENSE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORM THATENHANCES THE
INTEGRITY.
OF A TRIAL BY JURY THIS
LEGISLATION HAS RECEIVED STRONG
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT ON THE
ASSEMBLY FLOOR AND IN BOTH THE
ASSEMBLY JUDICIARY AND PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMITTEES AND I WAS.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE.
I DO HAVE WITNESSES THAT ALLOW
SELF INTRODUCE OKAY.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS DANIEL
SANCHEZ ON BEHALF OF THE CHIEF
PROBATION OFFICERS OF CALIFORNIA
--
PLEASE TO US SPONSORED AS WE ARE
--
VERY APPRECIATIVE TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GRAYSON FOR OFFERING THIS
SINCE I WON'T GO BACK OVER KIND
OF WHAT THE BILL DOES I WOULD
JUST SAY THAT WERE RECENTLY WE
ARE HEARING OF CASES IN WHICH
THERE ARE --
APPEALS ARE MISTRIALS ON BEING
CONSIDERED ARE SOUGHT BECAUSE
PROBATION HAS BEEN ASKED TO
SERVE ON THE JURY.
AYE WHICH WE BELIEVE SPEAKS TO
SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE
EXPERIENCING BOTH BECAUSE WE'RE
DOING A PRETRIAL DUTIES --
ALSO POST CONVICTION DUTIES
WHICH I KNOW THAT YOU FOR SPEAK
TO MORE SO I AM I WILL INTRODUCE
AYE CHIEF ALLEN NANCE --
THAT YOU PROVISIONAL POSSESSOR
OF SAN FRANCISCO JUVENILE
PROBATION DEPARTMENT.
GOOD MORNING I THINK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATOR --
I WANNA THANK GOD.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GRAYSON FOR
ASKING ME TO SPEAK HERE TODAY --
IN SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY TO FORTY
ARE AS YOU HAVE HEAD AB TWENTY
FIVE TO FORTY WOULD CHANGE THE
CURRENT STATUTE. TO EXEMPT
PROBATION AND PAROLE OFFICERS
FROM A JURY DUTY IN CRIMINAL
MATTERS.
THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S
AN ARM OF THE COURT PROBATION
OFFICERS HAVE PRE CONVICTION
RESPONSIBILITIES.
SUCH AS OPERATING PRETRIAL
SERVICES PROGRAMS CONDUCTING
RISK ASSESSMENTS AS WELL AS
PREPARING REPORTS MAKING
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BENCH.
ARE UNSERVED SUITABILITY AND
ELIGIBILITY FOR PROBATION --
WHICH MAY INVOLVE TALKING TO THE
DEFENDANT.
VICTIMS AND OTHER IMPACTED
PARTIES.
PROBATION INVOLVEMENT ON
TASKFORCE --
WITH OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES --
COULD INVOLVED ARRESTS --
THAT INVOLVE PROBATION OFFICERS.
FURTHER PROBATION OFFICERS ALSO
HAVE SIGNIFICANT POST CONVICTION
RESPONSIBILITIES.
INCLUDING SUPERVISION AND
PROGRAMMING OF PERSONS ON
PROBATION MANDATORY SUPERVISION
POST COMMUNITY RELEASED --
SUPERVISION I AS WELL AS
PREPARING PRE SENTENCE
INVESTIGATION --
WE ALSO SUPERVISE ARE OVER
THIRTY NINE THOUSAND YOUTH AND
YOUNG ADULTS AT VERY LEVELS OF
THE SYSTEM.
THESE ROLES PUT PROBATION
OFFICERS IN A POSITION WHERE THE
DEFENDANT IN A CRIMINAL MATTER.
IT'S LIKELY TO BE UNDER OUR
JURISDICTION FOR SUPERVISION AS
WELL WHICH CLEARLY CREATES A
CONFLICT OF INTERESTS. TO HAVE
OUR DEPARTMENTS COMPLETING
REPORTS TO THE COURT WHILE ALSO
ULTIMATELY.
BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
SUPERVISION AND REHABILITATION
OF THE CLIENT.
AS WELL AS SERVING AS A JUROR.
AB TWENTY TO FORTY WILL REMEDY
THIS PROBLEM AND REMOVE THE
INHERENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST IN
OUR ROLE IN THE COURT. TO ENSURE
WE CAN CONTINUE TO BEST SERVE
THE NEEDS OF THOSE UNDER OUR
CARE.
AND ADVANCE THE CAPACITY AND
INTEGRITY OF THE JURY POOL.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HAVING HERE

PAROLE OFFICERS WITH THEIR TO
HELP A REHABILITATIVE PERSON AND
THAT'S IT.
THEY ARE NOW IS WAS
ACKNOWLEDGED.
PEACE OFFICERS THEY HAVE BADGES
THEY TAKE OWES THEY CARRY
SIDEARMS MAY TAKE ACTIVE PART IN

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS LEXI HOWARD ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA JUDGES
ASSOCIATION IT RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE.
THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
CALIFORNIA JUDGES ASSOCIATIONS
OPPOSITION.
HISTORICALLY WE ARE VERY
CONCERNED THAT EVERY TIME WE ACT
TO LIMIT THE JURY POOL WE
EFFECTIVELY CREATING GREATER
BURDEN FOR THOSE WE ASK TO
SERVE.
WE ARE RESPECTFUL OF OUR JUSTICE
PARTNERS THE PROBATION OFFICERS
AND OTHERS AND THEIR DESIRE TO
BE EXCLUDED FROM US
UNFORTUNATELY.
AND REGRETTABLY IF WE EXCLUDE
THEM WE OPEN THE DOOR TO THE
QUESTION OF WHO ELSE WOULD LIKE
TO BE EXCLUDED.
WE'D THANK RESPECTFULLY THAT
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST CAN AND
CURRENTLY ARE CONTROLLED FOR IN
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
CLEARLY IF SOMEONE HAS SERVED ON
A JURY THEY SHOULD NOT BE
SUPERVISING SOMEONE POST
CONVICTION.
SO RESPECTFULLY WE ARE OPPOSED
[inaudible]
GO AHEAD.
SHARON RIGHT LEON BE HALF OF THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL RESPECTFULLY
AND OPPOSITION AS WELL.
THE COURTS HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL
OBLIGATION TO ENSURE THAT JURY
POLLS ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
COMMUNITY.
AND THAT THERE ARE NOT
PERSPECTIVE JURORS IN THE
COURTHOUSE EACH DAY TO AVOID
HAVING TO DISMISS LAST A
CRIMINAL TRIALS FOR LACK OF
JURORS ADAM AND OTHER BURDENS
THAT ARE ON THE COURT.
AND TO THAT END THE COUNSEL HAVE
LIKE -- THAT
CALIFORNIA JUST DISASSOCIATION
HAS HAD A LONG STANDING POLICY
OF OPPOSING CATEGORICAL.
EXEMPTIONS FROM.
JURY SERVICE AND I AM IN
RESPONSE TO CONCERNS THAT WE'VE
HAD OVER THE YEARS ABOUT --
THINGS SUCH AS COMPLEX AND
KILLER UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
INDIVIDUALS.
AND EXISTING LAW ON THE
CALIFORNIA RULES OF COURT MAKE
CATEGORICAL EXEMPTIONS
UNNECESSARY AS BOTH AUTHORIZE
COURTS GRETA HARDSHIPS.
HARDSHIP EXCUSE INAPPROPRIATE
CIRCUMSTANCES TO MAKE SCHEDULING
ACCOMMODATIONS WITHOUT REQUIRING
A COURT APPEARANCE --
HARDSHIP --
WOULD INCLUDE --
INTO US INSTANCES WHEN THE
PROSPECTIVE JUROR SERVICES ARE.
I IMMEDIATELY NEEDED FOR THE
PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH
AND SAFETY.
I'M AND ALSO IT TO LESSEN THE
BURDEN OF JURY DUTY ON SO THIS
ISN'T.
AND GENERAL ADD THAT.
JUDICIAL COUNCIL ADOPTED A ONE
DAY ONE COURT ARE ONE TRIAL
SYSTEM STATE.
WIDE HAS IMPROVED THE SUMMONS
PROCESS TO ALLOW REQUEST FOR
EXCUSES TO BE MADE.
AT ADOPTED ROLLS OF QUARTERS
FINALLY COURTS MUST CONSTANTLY
BALANCE THE NEED TO ENSURE
ACCESS TO THE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
WITH THE NEED TO RESPECT ERRORS
TIMES.
AND IT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT
JURY SERVICE IS A SACRIFICE --
BUT WE BELIEVE THAT EXEMPTING
CERTAIN CLASSES OF INDIVIDUALS
BASED ON BERTIE IT BURDEN --
COULD UNFAIRLY INCREASE THE
BURDEN ON THE ON OTHERS AND AND
JUST TO NOTE JUDGES --
INCLUDING THE SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE CHIEF JUSTICE.
ARE ALL I AM.
REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN JURY
DUTY.
SO --
DISKETTE TO ADD THAT AS A NOTE
THAT THAT OUR OUR BRANCH ALSO
PARTICIPATES THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ADDITIONAL WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION.
ANY --
QUESTION.
YES I'M I'M CURIOUS ARM THEY
COULD STILL BE CALLED FOR JURY.
BUT BE EXEMPT FROM A CRIMINAL
CHAO SO THEY CAN STILL.
IT'S BEEN IN A CIVIL TRIAL OR
THE MUSIC CORRECTIVE THEY WOULD
BE ONLY EXEMPT FROM CRIMINAL.
BUT OUR OKAY.
CAN YOU DETERMINE --
THAT TWO FOUR YEAR AND ASIDE.
IF IN FACT STUDY GIVEN HIM A
BLANKET EXEMPTION COULDN'T
DECIDE WHETHER. ONE WOULD HAVE A
CONFLICT WHO IS NOW BUT THE
WARRIOR PARA PERHAPS IT
PROCESSES FOR VERY WELL MAY BE
HOWEVER A THERE IS A SPLIT --
THERE ARE PARTICULAR REASONS WHY
CURRENT S. --
OFFICES ARE EXEMPT SUCH AS CHP
IN SHARE OF SIN.
AND BARTON YOU SEE CSU ARE IN
THE PROCESS OF THE JURY --
THE SELECTION OF THE JURY ARE
THERE IS [inaudible]
S. OFFICE --

AND SO -- IN
THE JURY SELECTION PROCESS
THERE'S ESPECIALLY IN THE POST
PROP FORTY SEVEN AB ONE OR NINE
WORLD THAT WERE AND THAT WE WORK
BEFORE.
THIS WOULD BE JUST AN UPDATE
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE THAT --
WOULD HAVE OVERSIGHT OF FOLKS
THAT ARE NOW OUT ON PROBATION OR
PAROLE.
AND IT'S IT IT IS LIMITED TO
CRIMINAL CASES.
CHIEF ALAN DANCE AGAIN AT
SENATOR IF I MAY I WOULD ALSO.
EXPRESSED THAT THE THE CONFLICT
EXTENDS NOT ONLY TO THE PERSON
BUT TO THE OFFICE.
A THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL
REPRESENTS IN THE ACCESS OF
INFORMATION THAT THAT OFFICE --
WOULD HAVE RELATIVE TO BE --
DEFENDED AND A CRIMINAL MATTER
--
AND THEREFORE WE BELIEVE THAT
THAT THAT CONFLICT OF INTEREST
SIMILAR TO THAT THAT EXIST FOR
POLICE OFFICERS.
AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
CURRENTLY EXEMPT EXTENDS TO
PROBATION AND PAROLE AUTHORITIES
AS WELL.
AGAIN YOU WOULD DETERMINE THAT
CONFLICT THROUGH ANY OTHER
COURSE THROUGH FOUR YEAR IF I
WERE.
CALLED FOR JURY DUTY AND THEY
FOUND OUT I WAS FRIENDS OF THE
DEFENDED THAT WOULD BE FOUND IN
YOU KNOW ON DISCOVERED DOING FOR
YEARS SO I'M JUST AND JOHN
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU CAN.
DETERMINE THAT CONFLICT THEN.
I THINK THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT
THERE ARE ALREADY A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS PEACE
OFFICERS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED.
AS EXEMPT --
FURTHER ILLUSTRATES THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF THAT ROLE.
THAT A PEACE OFFICER HAS WITH
RESPECT TO OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM AND AND THE NEED FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO TAKE A EXTRA.
A PROTECTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE JURY POOL PROCESS IS NOT
COMPROMISED BY HAVING PEACE
OFFICERS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE
ARREST AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE
PROCESS HE'S SUBJECT TO SERVING
ON THE JURY TRIAL AS WELL.
SHOULD LEGISLATORS BE EXEMPTION
FOR MAKING SOME OF THESE AWESOME
FROM.
PATCH JURY DUTY.
WHAT I WOULD OPPOSITION AND AND
AND I THINK THAT THE THAT THE
REASON WHY?
OUR ROLE IS SOS UNIQUE IS THAT
WE ARE ACTUALLY HAVING CONTACT
WITH THE OFFENDERS.
WERE ACTUALLY ENGAGING THE
OFFENDERS WERE INTERVIEWING THEM
I OFTENTIMES THEIR DISCLOSURES
RELATIVE TO THE FACTS.
RESPECTIVELY OFFENSES --
AND FOR THOSE REASONS WE BELIEVE
THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT.
OPERATIONAL FEATURES PAROLE
OFFICERS NOT SERVE ON JURIES --
WOULD YOU LIKE CLOSE.
I THINK THE THE COMMITTEE AND
CHAIR FOR ALLOWING US TO MAKE
THIS PRESENTATION I RESPECT TO
THE OPPOSITION AND THEIR
PERSPECTIVES THAT IN PRINCIPLE.
AND WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE.
VERY MUCH IN ONCE WE HAVE A
QUORUM WILL MAKE A MOTION.
SO IN ORDER AYE CHU WOULD YOU
LIKE TO COME UP AND PRESENT AB.
TWENTY ONE THIRTY EIGHT PLEASE.
GOOD MORNING SENATORS OF FIRST
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF
AB.
THIRTY ONE EIGHTEEN WHICH WOULD
WHICH RESTS THE RAPE KIT BACKLOG
IN LET ME FIRST START BY
THINKING A THAT CHAIR IN
ABSENTIA AS FOR HER LEADERSHIP
ON THIS ISSUE AND I ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES AND I THINK EVERYONE
THIS COMMITTEE UNDERSTANDS THE
INJUSTICE OF OUR STATES.
MISMANAGEMENT OF THE RAPE KIT
BACKLOG ARE BUT IT IS WORTH
REPEATING AFTER THE HORRIFIC
CRIME OF A SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
THE COLLECTION OF FORENSIC
EVIDENCE THAT INVOLVES
INCREDIBLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES
AT LAST HOURS.
WHEN A RAPE KIT REMAINS UNTESTED
IT RE TRAUMATIZED SURVIVORS AND
ALLOWS CRIMINALS TO ROAM FREE?
AFTER YEARS OF SETBACK WE'VE
FINALLY STARTED TO TAKE STRIDES
TO ADDRESS THE BACKLOG INCLUDING
MY A. B. FORTY ONE BILL FROM
LAST YEAR.
BUT EVEN WITH LAST YEAR'S
VICTORY THERE'S A DO IN OUR
STATE.
EXAMPLE TEXAS IN KENTUCKY ARE
WAY AHEAD OF US IN TERMS OF
ADDRESSING THE BACKLOG AND
REFORMING THE SYSTEMS.
THIS BILL WILL TAKE US ONE STEP
CLOSER TO ELIMINATE THE BACKLOG
BY REQUIRING ALL AGENCIES AND
FACILITIES THAT RECEIVE OR
PRESERVED SEXUAL ASSAULT
EVIDENCE KITS TO CONDUCT AN
AUDIT.
OF UNTESTED KITS IN THEIR
POSSESSION TO REPORT THIS DATA
TO DOJ AND REQUIRE DOJ TO
PREPARE AND SUBMIT A REPORT --
WITHOUT LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO
WITNESSES.
THE MORNING CHAIR MEMBERS MONIES
ANY ESPOSITO MEN INSISTED TO
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WERE
REPRESENTING ALAMEDA COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY NANCY
O'MALLEY.
WAS A CO SPONSOR OF AB.
THIRTY ONE EIGHTEEN IN ALAMEDA
COUNTY SEVERAL YEARS AGO WE
EMBARKED ON THE TASK OF
IDENTIFYING ALL UNTESTED SEXUAL
ASSAULT KITS.
WE DISCOVERED NINETEEN HUNDRED
UNTESTED SEXUAL SOCKET SITTING
IN POLICE EVIDENCE ROOMS
[inaudible]
THIS WAS [inaudible]
ON A VERY CUMBERSOME AND
PROTECTED VERY PROTRACTED TASK I
PERSONALLY WAS ON INVOLVED IN IT
AND I CAN TESTIFY THAT IT TOOK A
LONG TIME.
TO AGAIN AND ACCURATE COUNT IN
PART BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT A
UNIFORM AND CONSISTENT PRACTICE
A WITHIN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES TO SOLVE AUDIT AND SELF
REPORT.
TODAY WE'RE PLEASED TO HAVE
REPORT OUT THERE ARE NO UNTESTED
SEXUAL ASSAULT KITS IN OUR
COUNTY.
MANY OF THE SEXUAL ASSAULT KITS
PRODUCE A DNA PROFILE LINKED TO
THE PERPETRATOR WHICH HAS NOW
BEEN UPLAND UPLOADING TO THE
CALIFORNIA DATABASE AND KODY'S.
BUT ALAMEDA COUNTY.
WAS NOT UNIQUE NATIONALLY AS AN
ESTIMATED ON MANY AS MANY AS
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND SEXUAL
ASSAULT KITS WERE UNTESTED
SITTING IN POLICE EVIDENCE ROOMS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY [inaudible]
NANCY O'MALLEY.
OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY ON THE
COUNTY HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN
SECURING MORE THAN A HUNDRED
EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS IN
FEDERAL DOLLARS INCLUDING IN THE
CURRENT BUDGET FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
TO TEST DEALS PREVIOUSLY
UNTOUCHED A SEXUAL SOCKETS.
BUT REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE
PROBLEM IS AND TO REALLY ADDRESS
THE PROBLEM WE NEED TO KNOW AND
AND GET IT OF REALLY
OCCUPATIONAL WHAT IS THE EXTENT
OF THE PROBLEM AND THIS IS WHY
WE REALLY ARE URGING.
THAT TIME AND TO ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM WE HAVE TO KNOW ON HOW
MANY AND TEST KITS ARE OUT THERE
[inaudible]
AND IF WE CAN HAVE DIEM ALL OF
THE AGENCIES WILL BE REQUIRED TO
DO SO THEN IT WOULDN'T BE A
SITUATION WHERE EVERY INDIVIDUAL
COUNTY HOUSE TO MANUALLY.
AND GO INTO EVERY AGENCY AND
COUNT MANUALLY COUNT AND I WOULD
JUST TAKE FOR EVER WHICH THEN.
ON ALSO WHAT IMPACT THE ARM THIS
THE REQUIREMENT THAT WE HAVE TO
TEST THESE GETS WITHIN TWO
YEARS.
UP UP KNOWING HOW HAVING THE
EVIDENCE WHICH CAN IMPACT THAT
[inaudible]
AND SO.
ON BEHALF OF THE ALAMEDA COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
[inaudible]
GO AHEAD HI GOOD MORNING I'M I'M
REPRESENTING NATASHA ALEXANDER
GO A SURVIVOR AND CO SPONSOR OF
THIS LEGISLATION WHO CANNOT BE
HERE TODAY.
SOME JUST GONNA READ A REALLY
BRIEF STATEMENT FROM HER.
I AM I'M A SEXUAL ASSAULT
SURVIVOR IN A SURVIVOR OF THE
RAPE KIT BACKLOG.
SURVIVOR VOICES ARE CRITICAL IN
THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND
WHILE EVERY SURVIVORS EXPERIENCE
IS DIFFERENT I WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK ABOUT MINE.
IN NINETEEN NINETY THREE AS A
COLLEGE STUDENT AND YORK CITY I
WAS KIDNAPPED WHILE WALKING HOME
TO MY APARTMENT.
THIS CHANGER I MEAN I NEVER MET
BEFORE VIOLENTLY REACH ME AND
HELD ME AT GUNPOINT.
WHEN I SKIPPED AND THANKFULLY
FOUND MYSELF IN MY APARTMENT MY
REMAIN INSISTED THAT I GO TO THE
HOSPITAL?
THE MEDICAL TEAM AT THE HOSPITAL
WAS AWARE THE FACT THAT MY BODY
WAS A CRIME SCENE.
GREAT CARE WAS TAKEN INTO
COLLECTING THEEVIDENCE TO FIND
MY PERPETRATORS.
I ASSUMED AS MOST OTHER RAPE
SURVIVORS THE VALUABLE
INFORMATION IN MY KIT THAT WAS
PAINSTAKINGLY COLLECTED WOULD BE
PUT TO GOOD USE.
AND NOT BE DELIVERED FOR
FORENSIC EXPERTS AND CRIMINAL
JUSTICE PROFESSIONAL COULD USE
IT TO IDENTIFY MY TALKER AND
BRING HIM TO JUSTICE.
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A REASON
WHY IT WAS PUT THROUGH THESE
HOURS LONG EXAMINATION.
HOWEVER UNBEKNOWNST TO ME MY
RAPE KIT WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY
TESTED.
IT SAU LONG WITH THOUSANDS OF
OTHER VICTIMS KITS IN A POLICE
EVIDENCE WAREHOUSE FOR TEN
YEARS.
I WAS CONTACTED BY AN
INVESTIGATORS IN TWO THOUSAND
THREE A FULL DECADE AFTER BY
ASSAULTS.
TELLING ME THEY FAMILY HAD A
SENSE.
HE HAD BEEN RECENTLY ARRESTED IN
NEVADA ON A MINOR CHARGE AND
POLICE PERFORM DNA CHEEK SWAB
AND ENTERED IT INTO --
CODECS THAT.
THE NATIONAL DNA DATABASE.
HIS PER FROM MATCH THE DNA
SAMPLE COLLECTED IN A RAPE KIT.
I WAS NOT THE ONLY VICTIM HE WAS
A SERIAL REPRESSED WHO AND MADE
A CAREER OUT OF THIS OUT OF HIS
CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES.
HE WAS EVENTUALLY CONVICTED OF
THESE CRIMES AGAINST ME AND MANY
OTHERS INCLUDING RAPE.
AND WAS SENTENCED TO FORTY FOR
TWO HUNDRED AND SEVEN YEARS IN
PRISON. FOR YEARS NOW I'VE BEEN
DIRECTLY INVOLVES THE NATION MY
EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THE HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF RAPE KITS.
THIRTEEN FOUND A POLICE EVIDENCE
ROOMS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
THESE CATS HAVE LINGERED IN THE
QUIET DARKNESS ALONE AND
FORGOTTEN GATHERING DUST AND
MAKING.
MARKING TIME AS A STATUE OF
LIMITATIONS CLOCK SLOWLY TICKS
FOR SOME CASES.
I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MUCH IT
MEANS TO ME TO SEE CALIFORNIA

SURVIVORS LIKE MYSELF THANK YOU

MORNING MR CHAIRMAN RESOLUTION
MUCH LOWER ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF CRIME
LAB LABORATORY DIRECTORS --
RESPECTFULLY WE MUST CONTINUE
OUR OPPOSITION AND WE JUST DO
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE
--
NO --
COLUMNS ABOUT THE AUDIT AYE WE
HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR AND THE HAVE TAKING SOME
OF OUR I SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS
WHICH WAS TOO NARROW THE BILL
DOWN TOTALLY UNTESTED KITS.
I'M UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE
STILL A FEW PROVISIONS LEFT IN
THE BELL ON WHICH WE FEEL ARE
IRRELEVANT TO THE AUDIT AND TO
THE INTENT OF THE BILL.
ON SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE WILL
CONTINUE OPPOSITION UNLESS --
THAT AUTHOR OUT ACCEPTS THE
OFFER THEIR AMENDMENTS THANK YOU
--
IF YOU WOULD MIND WOULD YOU
EXPLAIN WHAT YOUR MEMBERS ARE%
[inaudible]
PLEASE
.
THANK YOU ON INDEPENDENT IT'S
GAS ASK --
FEW QUESTIONS ARE FROM LAW
ENFORCEMENT WHICH ON THE CRIME
LABS MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE --
FOR EXAMPLE IS SAYS FOR EACH KID
REPORTED THE FOLLOWING
INFORMATION AND ASK APPLICABLES
ON WHETHER OR NOT THE ASSAULT
HAD BEEN DEPORTED TO A LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
AT THE DATE THAT KATE WAS
COLLECT DATA AND THE DATA ALONG
FORCE MAGES HE HAD PICKED A KID
UP FOR EACH AGENCY ON THE DATE
THE KID WAS DELIVERED TO A CRIME
LAB.
AND I'M SO DOES OUR WE FILL
THOSE ARE IRRELEVANT TO THE
AUDIT BECAUSE WE JUST WANT TO
KNOW HOW MANY KIDS ARE OUT THERE
WHICH HAVE.
WHICH ARE UNTESTED AND HOW WE
CAN MOVE FORWARD TO MAKE SURE
ALL KIDS GET TESTED.
AND WE ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT ON
WE HAVE OF ALL OF OUR YOU KNOW
IN THEIR REPORTS OUR CRIME LAB
PORT AT THAT THEY ARE IN
COMPLIANCE.
A WITH ACTUALLY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
I EXCUSE ME SENATOR SKINNER AT
THE TIME SUMMER SKINNER'S AB
FIFTEEN SEVENTEEN WHICH REQUIRED
THAT ALL THESE TESTS BE ALL
THESE KIDS BE TESTED AYE WITHIN
A CERTAIN TIME.
AND WE FEEL THAT WE MOST CRIME
LABS ARE NOW UP TO DATE --
ON GATHERING THAT INFORMATION SO
FOR THOSE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THAT GIVE
HER THANK YOU.
ANY ADDITIONAL WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION.
PERHAPS --
YOU COULD ADDRESS --
SOME THE OPPOSITION IN YOUR
CLOTHES.
IF YOU WISH WITH SHANIA DO THAT
NOW.
WELL I I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A
MORE COMMENT SO I GUESS I'D BE
HAPPY TO ADDRESS IT AND LET ME
FIRST PUT THIS A LITTLE BIT OF
CONTEXT WE'VE HAD IT DECADE.
OF TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE
BACKLOG AND WE HAD A HALF A
DOZEN BILLS BEFORE THIS ONE
WHICH WERE --
STALLED AND LEGISLATIVE
PROCEEDINGS OR WATER DOWN OR
VETOED AN UNFORTUNATE THERE WERE
SOME POCKETS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
THAT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT.
I IN RECENT YEARS AS THIS ISSUE
HAS GAINED ASCENDANCY --
LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS COME TO
UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT IS TO
ADDRESS THE BACKLOG AND
VIRTUALLY THE CRIME LABS --
ARE REALLY THE ONLY OUT LIAR IN
THIS AND I WOULD SAY THE CRIME
LAB DIRECTORS HAVE CONTINUED TO
MOVE THE BAR ON THEIR
OPPOSITION.
IN THE ASSEMBLY PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE THEY ASKED ME TO
NARROW THIS BILL.
UNTESTED KITS WHICH WE DID NOW
THAT.
STATING THERE'S LITTLE PRACTICAL
VALUE TO IMPROVING THE
PROCESS-FOR RAPE SURVIVORS IN
THEIR
RECOVERY.
I WOULD RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
WITH THAT I WILL JUST QUOTE FROM
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
UP THIS INFORMATION WILL HELP US
DETERMINE WHAT THE REASONS FOR
UNTESTED KITS HAVE BEEN AS WELL
BE DIRECTED TO ADDRESS THE
BACKLOG.
Y. KID HAS NOT BEEN TESTED IS
VERY RELEVANT TO THE DISCUSSION.
THAT'S NOT BEEN TESTED BECAUSE
THE VICTIM OPTED NOT TO
PROSECUTE AWARE SUSPECT IS KNOWN
IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM A KIT
THAT'S NOT BEEN TESTED IN A
TIMELY MANNER.
BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF LAB
RESOURCES OR OTHER ISSUES THIS
BILL WOULD GIVE US THAT
INFORMATION SO THAT'S WHAT THIS
IS ABOUT.
I'M ALSO JUST NOTE --
A I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE
COMMITTEE STAFF THE OTHER DAY
ABOUT -- A
LITTLE AMBIGUITY IN THE LANGUAGE
THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US WERE
VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE COMPROMISE
LANGUAGE BUT I JUST WANNA SAY.
THAT THE THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS
IN THE ANALYSIS MAKES A
DELINEATION BETWEEN CATS WERE A
VICTIM EXPRESSED AN INTEREST IN
PROSECUTION.
AND KITS WERE VICTIM CHOSE NOT
TO PURSUE PROSECUTION ON BUT IT
LEFT OPEN --
THE SITUATION WHERE VICTIM HAS
NOT MADE A PREFERENCE WITH
REGARDS TO ACCOUNT AND SO A WE
HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE
COMMITTEE STAFF AND I HAVE
SUGGESTED REVISED LANGUAGE THAT
SHOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO
EVERYONE.
INVOLVED TO ESSENTIALLY CREATE
TO GET A CHORUS.
S. CHOSE NOT TO PURSUE
PROSECUTION AT THE TIME OF THE
AUDIT AND THEN.
ALL OTHER KEPT SO THAT WE
REALLY%
TO SIMPLIFY THIS FOR EVERYONE I
DO BELIEVE THAT THAT IS NOT
CONTROVERSIAL.
ARE AND WITH THAT --
WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE AND
THIS BACKLOG I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH THE
SUGGESTION THAT THE BACKLOG.
AYE IS MINIMAL AT THIS POINT IT
IS NOT WE'VE CONTINUED TO HEAR
STORIES FROM COUNTY AFTER COUNTY
WHO CONTINUE TO FIND HUNDREDS IF
NOT THOUSANDS OF KITS RUN
TESTED.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET
TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS IS
ESTIMATED A FEW YEARS AGO IN OUR
COUNTRY THERE FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNTESTED RAPE KITS.
WE BELIEVE IN CALIFORNIA THERE
ARE AT LEAST THOUSANDS OF NOT
TENS OF THOUSANDS WE NEED TO
KNOW WHAT THAT ANSWER IS SO THAT
WE CAN.
BRING JUSTICE TO THE SURVIVORS
AND WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR SUPPORT.
THANKS VERY MUCH WHEN WE HAVE
MORE MEMBERS [inaudible]
WHAT'S.
I GIVE A SECOND THOUGH YOU LIKE
I JOIN --
IT'S AB TWENTY ONE THIRTY EIGHT
PLACE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
OF AB TWENTY ONE THIRTY EIGHT
WHICH WOULD REDUCE BARRIERS TO
OCCUPATIONAL LICENSING.
IN CALIFORNIA THEY'RE ALMOST
EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE CLOSE TO
ONE IN THREE ADULTS WHO HAVE AN
ARREST FOR A CONVICTION RECORD.
OUR STATE HAS WON THE HIGHEST
RECIDIVISM RATES IN THE COUNTRY
WE ALL KNOW ONE OF THE ROOT
CAUSES OF RECIDIVISM HAS BEEN
THE INABILITY OF EX OFFENDERS.
TO GET A JOB.
AT THE SAME TIME NEARLY 30% OF
CALIFORNIA JOBS REQUIRE A
LICENSE OR CERTIFICATE OR AN
APPROVAL BY AN OVERSIGHT STATE
BORDER AGENCY FOR ALMOST
EIGHTEEN HUNDRED DIFFERENT
OCCUPATIONS.
WHAT THIS MEANS EIGHT MILLION
CALIFORNIANS FACE SIGNIFICANT
BARRIERS WHEN TRYING TO APPLY
FOR ONE OUT OF THREE JOBS ARE
ALMOST ONE OUT OF THREE JOBS IN
OUR STATE?
THIS BILL PROPOSES TO ESTABLISH
A TRANSPARENT LICENSING PROCESS
TO GIVE THESE CALIFORNIANS A
FAIR CHANCE.
AS IS THE CASE IN A NUMBER OF
OTHER STATES BY PROHIBITING THE
DENIAL OF THE LICENSE ON THE
BASIS OF A NON VIOLENT OR NON
SERIOUS.
CONVICTION OLDER THAN SEVEN
YEARS FOR A DISMISSED CONVICTION
OR NON CONNECTION ACT UNLESS IT
IS SUBSTANTIALLY RELATED TO THE
DUTIES OF THE PROFESSION FOR
WHICH THE APPLICATION IS MADE.
FOR LICENSES UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS
WHICH REGULATES OVER FORTY MAJOR
PROFESSIONS THE BILL ALSO
REQUIRES BOARDS TO COLLECT AND
PUBLISH DATA ABOUT WHO HAS BEEN
DENIED LICENSING --
SO THAT WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB
OF ADDRESSING.
I LIKE TO JUST NOTE OR BILL
REFERENCES FORTY TWO CRIMES ARE
CONSIDERED SERIOUS UNDER STATE
LAW AND WOULD BE ABLE TO BE
CONSIDERED BY LICENSING BOARD AT
THIS.
WITH THAT LIKE TO TURN OVER TO
MY WITNESS.
THANK YOU --

LICENSE IMMEDIATELY AND REVOKE
IT.
A STAY THE REPLICATION AND PLACE
ME ON THREE YEARS OF PROBATION

OPPORTUNITY TO BE ON THE PATH

NEED TO BE BALANCED WITH THE
LEGISLATURE'S MAN DO YOU SEE A

PROTECTION --
SOME OF THE FOLLOWING AREAS
WHERE WE CONTINUE THAT CONCERN
IS A NEED TO EXPAND THE LIST OF
VARIOUS CRIMES THAT WOULD NOT BE

ACCOUNTANCY.
THESE WOULD BE CRIMES FINANCIAL
BASE CRIMES SUCH AS EMBEZZLEMENT
AND FRAUD --
ENSURE THE ENFORCEMENT ACTION

GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN FOREIGN
COUNTRIES CONTINUE TO BE GROUNDS
FOR DENIAL.
AND ALLOWING BOARDS TO CONTINUE

CONCERNS BUT I WILL ALLOW YOU.
AND OBVIOUSLY WE DO NOT HAVE --
QUORUM YET SO WE WILL NOT BE.
ENTERTAINING EMOTIONAL YET BUT
YOU CAN ADDRESSING YOUR CLOTHES.
CERTAINLY A LIMITS FOR START BY
THANKING MEDICARE AND DIE YOUR
COLLEAGUES FOR CONSIDERATION OF
THIS AND AND AND SEE A FEW
THINGS I ALSO WANT TO THANK.
OUR THE OPPOSITION WHO HAS BEEN
ENGAGING DEEPLY WITH OUR OFFICE
ON THIS WE MADE SIGNIFICANT
AMENDMENTS TO THIS BILL LAST
WEEK IN BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS
AND I KNOW THAT --
MANY OF THE CURRENT OPPONENTS
HAVE NOT HAD A CHANCE TO REALLY
RUN IT UP THE CHAIN TO ADDRESS
IT BUT I'LL JUST MENTION THAT
SOME THE AMENDMENTS WE TOOK.
OUR EXTEND THE TIME PRIOD FOR
WHEN ARE A PARTICULAR CRIME CAN
BE CONSIDERED FROM FIVE TO SEVEN
YEARS.
OUGHT STRIKES REFERENCES TO
ALLOWING FOR THIS CONSIDERATION
WITH REGARDS TO SUSPENSIONS AND
REVOCATIONS ARE AS WELL AS
PROBATIONARY LICENSING TERMS WE
ALSO EXPANDED THE NUMBER OF
CRIMES.
ARE THAT --
COULD BE CONSIDERED WITHOUT ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION FROM VIOLENT
FELONIES SERIOUS FELONIES WHICH
WAS A SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION AS
WELL AS REDUCED WHAT THE NEXUS
WAS FOR WHAT A BOARD.
COULD LOOK AT INITIALLY THE
STANDARD WAS --
THAT UNLESS A CRIME WAS DIRECTLY
OR I HEARD NOW WE'RE SAYING IF
IT'S SUBSTANTIAL RELATED IT CAN
BE CONSIDERED AND I MENTION THAT
BECAUSE OF THEIR NUMBER OF
EXAMPLES REYES BY THE
OPPOSITION.
AROUND CERTAIN TYPES OF CRIMES
OF THEIR CONCERN THAT WITH
REGARD TO THEIR PROFESSION
THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS BILL
THAT WOULD FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT A FINANCIAL
PROFESSION.
ARE SAY THAT YOU CAN'T CONSIDER
WHETHER SOMEONE HAD COMMITTED A
CRIME THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN TO
SOMEONE IN THAT WORLD SO.
OF ONE ADDRESS THAT AND THEN TO
ANSWER SENATOR ANDERSON'S
QUESTION AROUND ALL THE LOW
NUMBERS THAT WE SEEN FIRST OF
ALL IT'S BEEN ANECDOTAL WE
HAVEN'T ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO
TRACK THAT IN ANY REAL WAY AND
THAT'S PART OF WHAT THIS BILL
DOES.
BUT ANOTHER ASPECT THAT I THINK
WE NEED TO REMEMBER WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS WHO BY AND LARGE
BELIEVE THAT THEY CANNOT APPLY
FOR THESE LICENSES BECAUSE OF
THE LAWS AS ARE CURRENTLY
WRITTEN.
AND SO MANY FOLKS HAVE SIMPLY
TAKEN THEMSELVES OUT OF APPLYING
FOR STATE LICENSES OR STATE
CERTIFICATES OR OTHER THINGS
THAT REQUIRE APPROVAL BECAUSE
THEY BELIEVE I THINK RIGHTFULLY
SO THAT IF THEY WERE TO APPLY.
NOT IT WOULD BE A FUTILE EFFORT
SO A PART OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING
TO ACHIEVE IS TO SAY LISTEN.
IF YOU HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME
BUT YOU'VE BEEN REBUILT REAP
BEEN REHABILITATED --
AS A STATE WE NEED TO WALK THE
WALK.
AS A STATE I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR US TO SAY THAT IF
WE BELIEVE IN REHABILITATION.
WE SHOULD BE BLOCKING FOLKS FROM
HAVING A SHOT AT APPLYING FOR A
JOB AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS
ABOUT SO I BELIEVE THOSE
NUMBERS.
OUT REFLECT THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS
JUST HAVEN'T APPLIED FOR THESE
POSITIONS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT
THESE BOARDS WOULD PERMIT IT
THIS WOULD STE ESTABLISHED.
A CLEAR STANDARD BOTH FOR WHAT
WOULD BE PERMITTED AS WELL AS
WHAT ABOARD COULD USE OUR TO
REJECT AN APPLICANT AND I THINK
WE SPENT A LOT OF TIME TRYING.
TO STIR.
FROM OUR SPONSORS THEY WOULD
PREFER US.
TO THIS BILL'S GONE A LONG WAY
FROM WHERE IT STARTED --
AND I THINK IT DOES REFLECT THE
BALANCE AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING T
ACHIEVE IN WITH THAT --
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR THE SUPPORT
OF THIS COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU AS I INDICATED I WILL
BE -- I HAVE
A AYE RECOMMENDATION ON THE BILL
IN WHEN WE RETURN AFTER A BREAK
WHICH IS ONE THIRTY AND WE WILL
BE MEETING IN ROOM --
TO TWO ZERO FOUR ZERO THEN --
CAN WE ESTABLISH QUORUM WILL BE
ENTERTAINING MOTIONS AND ALL THE
BILLS SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH
SIGNATURE [inaudible]
YEAH RIGHT [inaudible]
CAMPAIGN [inaudible]
NDER YES SO WE WILL NOT BE
CONVENING AT ONE THIRTY WE WILL
BE CONVENING UPON ADJOURNMENT OF
THE VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE.
SO WE WILL ALL HAVE TO MONITOR
THAT COMMITTEE AND WHEN IT
ADJOURNS --
WE WILL OURSELVES RESUME AND
THAT WILL BE.
AFTER ONE THIRTY SOME POINT
AFTER [inaudible]
[inaudible]
NO PROBLEM [inaudible]
HAPPILY.
AB TWENTY NINE FORTY TWO
PROVIDES PROSECUTORS ANOTHER
TOOL TO REDUCE SENTENCES FOR
DEFENDANT DEFENDANTS THAT HAVE
THE POTENTIAL FOR REHABILITATION
[inaudible]
ON THERE ARE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
THAT ARE FOUND THAT CERTAIN
PRISON SENTENCES UPON FURTHER
REVIEW ARE NO LONGER IN THE
INTEREST OF JUSTICE IN WARRANT A
LESSER.
LEGAL SENTENCE HOWEVER
PROSECUTORS IN MANY CASES DO NOT
HAVE DISCRETION TO REMEDY THIS
SITUATION.
SO THIS BILL ALLOWS PROSECUTORS
THE DISCRETION TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR RECALL IN RE
SENTENCING OF DEFENDANTS
PROVIDED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S
BEHAVIOR IS NOT A THREAT TO
PUBLIC SAFETY.
AND THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE
INDICATING THEIR REHABILITATION.
WITH ME TODAY IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL ARE DAVID.
UNTIL ANGEL I DIDN'T KNOW WHO
WAS ON HOW ARE ANGEL.
US SANTA CLARA DISTRICT OF
REPRESENTING SANTA CLARA THROUGH
STRICT ATTORNEY JEFF ROSEN.
A GOOD AFTERNOON WILL I'M HERE
ON BEHALF THE DA FROM SANTA
CLARA COUNTY I'VE BEEN A
PROSECUTOR FROM WAS TWENTY FIVE
YEARS NOW AND WE EAGERLY US
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND I'M
HONORED TO BE HERE THANK YOU.
OUT MY OFFICE IS ACTUALLY ONE OF
THE FIRST IN THE NATION I THINK
WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE FIRST TO
ESTABLISH CONVICTION INTEGRITY
UNIT.
AND THE LOGIC BEHIND THAT IS
SOMETIMES NEW EVIDENCE ARISES TO
MAKE YOU REALIZE THAT THE THE
CONVICTION YOU HAVE IS UNJUST
AND WE WERE SURPRISED HOW MANY
LEGAL BARRIERS THAT WORD TO
ACTUALLY.
TRYING TO REMEDY THAT SITUATION.
NOW WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR
OVER A DECADE NOW --
AND HAVE HAD A NUMBER
EXONERATIONS BUT WE'VE COME TO
REALIZE IS.
IT'S NOT A LARGE NUMBER IF YOU
CONSIDER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF
CASES WE HAVE BUT IT'S STILL A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CASES
WHERE NEW EVIDENCE ARISES TO
MAKE US REALIZE THE SENTENCE WAS
ON JUST.
SOMETIMES IT'S ARE JUST DUTY
ERRORS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A LOT
OF CASES AND AS A SEVEN A
PROSECUTOR FROM HIS TWENTY FIVE
YEARS I HANDLED SOME VERY VERY
SERIOUS CASES WHEN AS A BRAND
NEW PROSECUTOR NOW IS YOUNGER
AND HAD.
LESS EXPERIENCE SOMETIMES YOU
JUST YOU GET IT WRONG BUT MORE
OFTEN THERE'S JUST NEW EVIDENCE
THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT.
ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS LAW DOES
IS PUT THE ELECTED DISTRICT
ATTORNEY IN THE SAME PLACE AS
THE THE UNITY EXECUTIVE BRANCH
THE ABOARD PRISON TERMS PEOPLE
RECALL COLLISON TENS.
UP BACK TO THE ORIGINAL TRIAL
JUDGE THAT HEARD IT.
NEITHER A LOT OF PROCEDURAL
SAFEGUARDS IN HERE PERHAPS THE
MOST IMPORTANT RECALL IS THIS IS
IN A THERE'S NOTHING AUTOMATIC
IT JUST A NEW SENTENCING
HEARING.
SO WE HAVE ALL THE SAME
OBLIGATIONS IN TERMS OF
NOTIFYING VICTIMS IN TAKING ALL
SIDES INTO ACCOUNT AND
ULTIMATELY IT'S A JUDGE THAT
MAKES THE DECISION IN THIS CASE
[inaudible]
BOB.
I THINK THIS IS A ONE OF THE
THINGS I LIKE ABOUT THIS LAW IS
I WILL PERHAPS NATURALLY ESTAMOS
BUT PUBLIC SERVANT AND A COUNTY
LEVEL IS THAT THIS DOESN'T
INVOLVE A POWER DOWN TO A MORE
LOCAL LEVEL TO THE COUNTY LEVEL.
SET THE LOCALLY ELECTED
DISTRICT.
AS GUIDED BY THE VALUES --
HIS COMMUNITY SO I EXPECT THAT
THIS ILL BE IMPLEMENTED OR HER
COMMUNITY OF COURSE --
I EXPECT THIS WILL BE
IMPLEMENTED DIFFERENTLY YOU KNOW
IN DIFFERENT COUNTIES DEPENDING
ON THOSE VALUES.
AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A HUNG
DAVID LET ME JUST END WITH PER
--
AN EXAMPLE OF A RECENT CASE WE
HAD THAT I THINK ILLUSTRATES THE
IMPORTANCE OF THIS SORT OF LAW.
AS A GENTLEMAN NAME OR NO FOR
GARCIA HE WAS SERVING --
HOW IT HAD TO BE OVER A HUNDRED
YEAR SENTENCE IN SAN QUENTIN?
I HE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY
SORT OF EARLY RELEASE --
PURSUANT TO THE VARIOUS LAWS
DIDN'T PASS RECENTLY SUCH AS
PROP FORTY SEVEN A REALIGNMENT
BECAUSE HE HAD A NUMBER OF
RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES.
ESSENTIALLY WHAT THE STORY WAS
THAT IS YOUNGER AND HE A YOUNG
MAN HE IT WAS STRUCK OUT ACT AS
A LOT OF DRUG ADDICTS.
HE STOLE THINGS AND STOLE THINGS
FROM HOMES.
HOWEVER SINCE BEING IN PRISON HE
BECAME A CHANGED MAN HE HE
CONQUERED THOSE DEMONS BECAME
CLEAN AND SOBER.
I HE ENDED UP BECOMING THE
EDITOR OF THE SAN QUENTIN TIME.
AND I FIRST MET HIM WHEN I WAS
VISITING SAN QUENTIN AND WHAT
WAS PERHAPS MOST REVEALING TO ME
IS THAT.
IT WAS THE PEOPLE WHO KNEW HIM
BEST THE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS
--
IN SOME OF THE OTHER GUARDS THE
PROGRAM DIRECTORS AND OTHER
INMATES WOULD COME TO ME AND SAY
HEY YOU KNOW THE SKY DOESN'T
BELONG TO BE IN HERE ANYMORE.
IN LOOKING AT IT FURTHER
I-REALIZED THAT HE ACTUALLY WAS
A
PEACEMAKER THAT HE WOULD TAKE A
YOU KNOW HE'S OF LATINO ANCESTRY
THAT WE TAKE YOUR STEER AWAY.
FROM STRONG GANG IDENTIFICATION
TRY TO GET THEM INVOLVED IN WHAT
HE HAD DONE IN PROGRAMMING.
I FOR PEOPLE LIKE THAT FOR US TO
BE ABLE TO GO BACK AND LOOK AND
LOOK AT ALL THIS NEW EVIDENCE S
SOMETHING THAT I THINK IS
INVALUABLE.
AYE I THINK IT WILL IN A SMALL
WAY MOVE THE DIAL --
IN TERMS OF APPROPRIATE
PRODUCTION PRISON POPULATION BUT
PERHAPS MORE IMPORTANTLY JUST
INDIVIDUALLY IT MEASURED AS
INDIVIDUAL JUSTICE WHICH IS APPS
IN AFTER ALL WHAT OUR SYSTEM IS
ABOUT.
AND SO FOR THESE REASONS I HOPE
YOU WILL ASSUME.
ANY ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT
LIZZY BEACON WITH THE ACLU OF
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT.
DO WE HAVE ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
CENTER WHICH I CLOSE --
NOT THE FREEDOM [inaudible]
ARE.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT?
THEN THE PAROLE BOARD
[inaudible]
OR THIS SECURE CORRECTIONS I
MEAN DON'T THEY HAVE THE SAME
AUTHORITY TO DO EXACTLY WHAT
YOU'RE DESCRIBING.
QUESTION DIRECTED TO ME YEAH YOU
KNOW I'LL ALLOW HIM AND THEN I
CAN NOW TO GO AHEAD IT REALLY IN
SOME WAYS IT'S NOT WHAT IT'S
ALLOWING IS ANOTHER LAYER SO FOR
A LOSER --
STATEWIDE APPOINTED OFFICES THIS
ALLOWS THE LOCAL --
GOVERNMENT OFFICE TO DO IT AND I
I THINK IN SOME WAYS THAT THE
ELECTED DA FROM BACK COUNTY.
IT'S PROBABLY UNIQUELY SITUATED
HIM TO MAKE THOSE JUDGMENTS
BECAUSE AFTER ALL WE TRIED THE
ORIGINAL CASE WE HAVE THE
CONTACT WITH THE LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT THE VICTIM AND THE
COMMUNITY THAT WE'VE THAT THIS
PERSON BE RETURNING.
TO SO IN THIS WAY I I THINK IT'S
A MODERATE BILL BUT IT JUST
ALLOWS AN ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT
ACTOR THE SAME POWER THAT OUR
VIEWS HLD BY THESE OTHER --
AGENCIES.
AND THEN --
AS A FOLLOW UP WOULDN'T.
WHEN THEY'RE RELEASED WOULD THEY
THEN BE RELEASED INTO THE
DISTRICTS OF THE DA'S THAT?
WENT TO BAT.
FOR P. UNDER CURRENT LAW A AND
PERSON THAT'S INCARCERATED IS
RELEASED INTO THE COUNTY WHERE
THEY WERE CONVICTED.
NOT NECESSARILY THE COUNTY OF
THEIR RESIDENTS BUT THE COUNTY
WHERE THEY WERE CONVICTED.
OKAY I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT
THAT'S THE SAME.
OUR TIME YOU WANTED TO ADD TO
IT.
I'M I THINK HE ACTUALLY
ADDRESSED IT --
ADEQUATELY SO WE'LL LEAVE IT
WELL THEN IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE
YOU MAY THANK YOU [inaudible]
I'M.
I THINK ADDING THIS OTHER LAYER
WHEN I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION
THAT THE PAROLE BOARDS ALREADY
HAVE DISABILITY BUT THE PAROLE
BOARDS.
AND OFTENTIMES OBVIOUSLY THE
PROSECUTORS AND VICTIMS AND
OTHERS CAN OBVIOUSLY TESTIFY PRO
POURED HEARINGS [inaudible]
BUT THIS.
ALLOWS THAT UNIQUE SITUATION
COUNTY WHERE THE PERSON WAS
CONVICTED WHO AS INDICATED.
HAS NEW INFORMATION OR NEW
EVIDENCE CAN INITIATE IT AND SO
I THINK IT ADDS AN ADDITIONAL.
LAYER THAT --
RESPECTS OUR PROCESS AND YET
PROVIDES TIME.
SOME MORE LEVELS OF JUSTICE AND
WITH THAT I ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU ONCE WE ESTABLISH OR
WE HAD
.
WHY DO WE HAVE HERE
[inaudible]

PRESENTER IN OUR FINAL CENTER
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RUBIO WELCOME.
THANK YOU I APOLOGIZE I WAS LATE
BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING I
COULD.
ON HARD TIMES FOR THINGS THAT
THERE WE GO DIFFICULTY MARK CASE
THIS ITEM. THIRTY NINE THREE ONE
TWO NINE THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS FIRST I'D
LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIR AND THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING WITH
MY OFFICE ON MY BILL AND I WOULD
LIKE TO ACCEPT THE AMENDMENT.
I'M TOO DAMN PRESENTING AB
THIRTY ONE TWENTY NINE THE BILL
TO ENHANCE PUBLIC SAFETY BY
KEEPING GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF
THOSE ALREADY PROHIBITED FROM
HAVING THEM.
IN LIGHT OF THE MOST RECENT MASS
SHOOTINGS THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT
HAS FOCUSED ON GUN LAWS AND
THEIR IMPACT ON SOCIETY.
AB THIRTY ONE TWENTY NINE THE
LINES WITH FEDERAL LAW BY
IMPOSING A LIFETIME BAN ON THE
POSSESSION OF A FIREARM FOR
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN CONVICTED
OF A MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE OFFENSE.
THIS IS ONE UBER AND THEIR THIS
IS ONE OF THE RARE INSTANCES
WHERE CALIFORNIA GUN LAW.
IS MORE LENIENT THAN THE FEDERAL
LAW.
THIS IS --
WE ARE NOT CREATING A NEW CLASS
OF PROHIBITED PERSONS NOT OWNING
A FIREARM BUT MERELY HELPING
KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS OF
THOSE ALREADY PROHIBITED FROM
HAVING THEM.
CURRENT STATE LAW IS AN ADEQUATE
TO FULLY PROTECT SURVIVORS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
ACCORDING TO THE ELK THE
ENVELOPES ANGELES D. A.'S OFFICE
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN EIGHTY FOUR
POINT 9% AND I WILL SAY THAT
AGAIN. FOR FOR MORE A FOR A
LITTLE ADDED TO A DRAMA INTO
THIS ISSUE EIGHTY FOUR POINT 9%
OF THE FELONY FIREARM CASES THAT
--
THE FAMILY VIOLENCE ADDITION
FILED THE DEFENDANT HAD A PRIOR
MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
CONVICT.
THAT WAS IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
EIGHTY FOUR POINT 9% OF THE
VICTIM OF OF THE GUN VIOLENCE
HAD PRIOR A MISDEMEANORS ABUSED
WOMEN ARE FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY
TO BE KILLED.
IF THEIR ABUSER OWNS A FIREARM
AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ASSAULT
INVOLVING A GUN ARE TWELVE TIMES
MORE LIKELY TO END IN DEATH.
THEN ASSAULTS WITH OTHER WEAPONS
OR PHYSICAL HARM.
ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL
COALITION AGAINST DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE THE METHOD VIOLENCE IS
ONE OF THE MOST CHRONICALLY
UNDER REPORTED CRIMES ONLY 25%
OF ALL PHYSICAL ASSAULTS.
PERPETRATED AGAINST FEMALES BY
THE PARTNERS ARE REPORTED TO THE
POLICE ONLY --
TWENTY FIVE THIS MEANS THAT 75%
OGLE AND REPORTED THERE IS A
VERY REAL CONNECTION BETWEEN
PAST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE
PROENSITY FOR FUTURE VIOLENCE
INCLUDING MEHSUD.
TRAGICALLY CHILDREN ARE THE MOST
COMMON VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC MASS
SHOOTINGS WHILE THERE ARE NO
GOVERNMENT STATISTICS ON HOW
MANY CHILDREN ARE KILLED IN
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATIONS.
THE HUFFINGTON POST FOUND THAT
CHILDREN UNDER SEVENTEEN YEARS
OLD.
MADE UP THE LARGEST GROUP OF
VICTIMS IN THE STUDY.
AND WHILE WE SIT HERE AND
DISCUSS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
MISDEMEANOR OFFENSES NEARLY
THREE US WOMEN EVERY DAY ARE
KILLED BY AN INTIMATE PARTNER.
AND NEARLY 50% OF THOSE DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CRIMES GO UNREPORTED.
THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF JUSTICE
STATISTICS SAY THAT IT SAYS THAT
AN AVERAGE OF SEVEN HUNDRED AND
SIXTEEN THOUSAND INSTANCES OF
NONFATAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WERE
REPORTED TO PRINT POLICE.
ANNUALLY OVER THE PAST PASSED
THE GATE AND FIVE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY TWO THOUSAND INSTANCES
WENT ON REPORTED. FOR THOSE WHO
QUESTION WHY SINGLE OUT THE MOST
VIOLENCE WELL I HOPE I WAS ABLE
TO SHED LIGHT ON NOT ONLY THE
DATA BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES
THAT HAVE BEEN LOST.
OR AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
ABUSE INVOLVING A FIREARM.
I HAVE A PERSONAL STORY MY OWN
SISTERS A SURVIVOR DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE ABUSE AND HER
RESTRAINING ORDER EXPIRES SOON
--
HOW MANY OTHER SURVIVORS ARE
DURING THE?
OUT THERE ARE NEARING EXPIRATION
OF THEIR OF THE RESTRAINING
ORDERS I CANNOT IMAGINE --
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN DE THE
QUESTION OF WHAT HAPPENS AFTER A
RESTRAINING ORDER IS YET TO BE
UNANSWERED AND I DON'T WANT --
TO FIND BY SISTER AT THE
STATISTIC AND I KNOW THAT MANY
OF THESE ARE WOMEN --
OUR IN OUR STATISTICS TODAY AND
WHAT I I WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE
TO YOU ADVOCATES HERE TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT OF MY MY BILL I HAVE
DONE FELIZ EITHER WITH THE LA
DIRECT DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE IN THE MONTH THAT WILCOX
WITH THE BRADY CAMPAIGN.
AND I CHRIS ON THEM SAKE WITH
THE CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP TWO
AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
[inaudible]
MAKERS.
I'M CHAIRMAN MEMBER STAND FELIZ
OUT ON BEHALF OF THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE -- AS
YOU HEARD THE STATISTICS FOR OUR
FAMILY VIOLENCE UNIT --
OUR CURRENT IS WHEN IT COMES TO
INDIVIDUALS WHO.
ESCALATE TO FELONY CONDUCT.
OF THAT IS [inaudible]
THE UNIQUE THING ABOUT OF
MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
COMPARED TO THE OTHER OFFENSES
ON THAT TEN YEAR PROBATION.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HAS INCREDIBLY
HIGH RATES OF RECIDIVISM.
AND IT TENDS TO ALWAYS ESCALATE
SO AN INDIVIDUAL COMMITS MISS
METER GOES ON TO COMMIT A FELONY
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE --
HERE THE STATISTICS SHOW THAT
THERE ARE.
APPROXIMATELY A LITTLE OVER A
MILLION WOMEN IN THE UNITED
STATES TODAY WHO HAVE BEEN SHOT
OR SHOT AT BY.
THEIR PARTNER AND ANOTHER FOR A
HALF TO FOUR HAVE MILLION WHO
HAVE BEEN THREATENED BY GUN FROM
THERE --
INTIMATE PARTNER.
FEDERAL LAW ALREADY.
PROHIBITS THE POSSESSION OF
FIREARMS BY ANYBODY CONVICTED OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ANYWHERE IN
THE COUNTRY.
THOUGH IT IS FEDERAL LAW SO AS A
DEPUTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
I AM UNABLE TO BRING THESE
CHARGES --
AND HONESTLY THE US ATTORNEY'S
OF THIS IS NOT THEIR HIGHEST
PRIORITY.
US OF THESE CASES AREN'T BROUGHT
IT THAT OFTEN.
OR OFFICE REVIEWING RECORDS WE
WERE UNABLE TO REVIEW ALL OF OUR
FAMILY VIOLENCE CASES.
JUST BEFORE VOLUME --
BUT WE FOUND CASES BOTH YOU KNOW
WITH THE IN THE TEN YEAR
LIMITATION AND BEYOND THE TEN
YEAR LIMITATION WHERE AN
INDIVIDUAL --
HAS ESCALATED AND USED FIREARMS
--
TO SHOOT ADEQUATELY LEAST COMMIT
A FELONY AGAINST --
AN INTIMATE PARTNER.
A ONE OF THE THINGS WE FOUND
THOUGH WAS --
OFTEN THE PERPETRATOR.
OF THE FELONY OF VIC DIFFERENT
FROM.
THE MISDEMEANOR VICTOR THESE
INDIVIDUALS WHO COMMIT DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT
RELATIONSHIP THERE AND IT'S THE
RELATIONSHIP THERE IN AT THE
TIME -- WHEN
THEY ESCALATE?
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE OR
THE TWO CRIMES [inaudible]
THAT.
RUN ACROSS BOTH RACIAL --
AND ETHNIC.
LINES IT'S A A CRIME THAT EXISTS
YOU KNOW AND ALL OF A ASPECTS OF
OUR COMMUNITY TODAY --
WE THINK THIS IS A COMMON SENSE
PROPOSAL.
OF I PERSONALLY HAVE HANDLED A
MISDEMEANOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
CASE THAT NICE WITHIN WITHIN THE
TEN YEAR LIMITATION.
BUT WITHIN A A FEW WEEKS HAD
TURNED INTO A HOMICIDE --
THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE
--
UNFORTUNATELY AND SO FOR THAT
REASON WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT
ON THIS BILL [inaudible]
AS AMENDED.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE KRISTIN
I'M STUCK WITH THE CALIFORNIA
PARTNERSHIP TO AND DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE.
HAVE YOU ALREADY HEARD AT THE
STAGGERING STATISTICS ABOUT THE
DEADLY INTERSECTION OF FIREARMS
AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND I KNOW
THAT THIS COMMITTEE IS NO
STRANGER TO THIS ISSUE AND HAS
WORKED ON A RANGE OF SOLUTIONS.
TO ADDRESS THIS FROM THE OPS
DATABASE AND MAKING SURE THAT IS
FULLY FUNDED MAKING SURE THAT
FIREARMS ARE TAKING OUT OF THE
HANDS OF THOSE WHO HAVE
COMMITTED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
THIS.
BILL AB THIRTY ONE TWENTY NINE
WE ARE PLEASED TO SUPPORT
BECAUSE IT DOES AS HAS BEEN
PREVIOUSLY SIDE.
REALLY A LINE CALIFORNIA WITHIN
THE FEDERAL LIFETIME PROHIBITION
ON OWNERSHIP AND POSSESSION OF A
FIREARM ONCE THERE IS A DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE CAN AND AND IT'S REALLY
IN RECOGNITION OF THAT THE VERY
DEADLY INTERSECTION THAT EXISTS
BOTH AND THE IMMEDIATE
RELATIONSHIP THAT LEADS TO THAT
CONVICTION --
AND THAT CAN CONTINUE.
WE'VE SEEN TOO OFTEN.
THE INTERSECTION IN THE DUBBED
THE BUT KERN SAYS I FEEL LIKE WE
COME BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE TOO
OFTEN TO SPEAK OF THOSE THAT
WE'VE LOST.
TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOMICIDE SO
MANY OF WHICH INVOLVE FIREARMS
SO.
THAT YOU KNOW I THINK THAT MY
PRIOR WITNESSES HAVE ALREADY IT
TOUCHED ON THE KEY POLICY
ELEMENTS OF TO SAY THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE FEEL LIKE A
LINES WITH --
THE WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT --
FIREARMS ARE OUT OF THE HANDS OF
THOSE WHO ARE MOST DANGEROUS
ABOUT SURVIVORS ARE --
AND GIVEN THOSE INCREASED
PROTECTIONS OF RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR AYE VOTE.
NEXT WITNESS IN SUPPORT.
CONTROL BEING THAT YEAH BUT
THAT'S FINE AMANDA WILCOX ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAPTERS OF THE BRADY CAMPAIGN
TO PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE --
SOME OF THE STATISTICS I HEARD
--
STUNNED ME AND WERE NEW TO ME.
OF ONE THAT WAS NOT MENTIONED
THAT I WILL --
SHARE IS THAT AN ANALYSIS OF FE
IDEAS SHOWS THAT. 54% OF MASS
SHOOTING EVENTS FROM
200-092-2016 WERE RELATED TO
MASTER.
OUR FAMILY VIOLENCE OR THERE'S
OFTEN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
COMPONENT.
IN THESE VERY HIGH PRIVATE
PROFILE PUBLIC MASS SHOOTINGS ON
THIS IS YET ANOTHER PIECE OF IT
--
THE BRADY CAMPAIGN CORE MISSION
IS TO KEEP FIREARMS OUT OF
DANGER STANCE [inaudible]
AND OBVIOUSLY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
OFFENDERS --
WE WERE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS
HANDS PAST VIOLENT BEHAVIORS
PREDICTOR OF FUTURE ACTS OF
VIOLENCE IN AS HE HER WITH
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IT TENDS TO BE
ESCALATING BEHAVIOR SO WE
DEFINITELY SUPPORT.
OUR LIFETIME PROHIBITION AS IS
FEDERAL LAW AND IN THE RARE
CASES WHERE CALIFORNIA LAW IS
WEAKER THAN FEDERAL LAW WE
SUPPORT MATCHING LOSS OF THAT WE
HAVE SOME.
CONTROL OVER ENFORCEMENT MAKE
SURE HAPPENS AND THEN I WANT
OTHER POINT IS WITH THE RP A
PERSON SYSTEM PROGRAM WHICH AS
YOU KNOW --
THEO JAKE PROSPECTS DATABASES TO
DISARM PROHIBITED PEOPLE WHO
HAVE -- WHO
PURCHASED FIREARMS AB --
ONE LEGALLY AND THEN BECAME
PROHIBITED.
AND AYE RECENT LOG ISSUE IS THAT
IF IT'S FEDERAL PROHIBITION.
DOJ'S NOT A POSITION WHERE THEY
CAN DISARM THOSE PEOPLE.
OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
CALVET QUICK BAY AREA STUDENT
ACTIVISTS IN SUPPORT THINKING
[inaudible]
ALRIGHT I'VE [inaudible]
OPPONENTS.
IMAGINE THEM ONLY FOR ABLE.
THIS IS [inaudible]
NO OKAY [inaudible]
YEAH
.
I'M DEREK FIRES IN THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC DEFENDERS
ASSOCIATION.
A I UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM HERE
I SPENT THREE YEARS GOING
EVERYDAY TO DOMESTIC FELONY
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT.
MY DUGHTER IS A VICTIM OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE I UNDERSTAND
THE PROBLEM.
AT THE SAME TIME --
PUBLIC DEFENDERS WE BELIEVE
THAT-THERE'S A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
FELONY AND MISDEMEANOR.
AND WE BELIEVE IN
REHABILITATION.
THIS BILL BLURS THAT DIFFERENCE
AND DEFEND THE MISDEMEANORS THE
MORE LIKELY REHABILITATED
PERSON.
OF WE THINK THIS SHOULD BE GIVEN
A CHANCE TO WHETHER ONE AGREES
WITH GUN POSSESSION OR NOT IT IS
A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
A AND THERE SHOULD ORDER BE A
CHANCE --
FOR A LEAST A MISDEMEANOR WHO
HAS TO CHANT THE POSSIBILITY OF
REHABILITATION.
I HEARD THE STATISTICS HERE I I
BELIEVE THEM I'M NOT QUESTIONING
THEM [inaudible]
HOWEVER --
THEY DON'T INCLUDE HOW MANY OF
THESE --
REPEAT A 红H
AFTER A PERIOD OF TEN YEARS.
WE DON'T KNOW --
WE CAN GAS BUT I THINK WE NEED A
LITTLE MORE INFORMATION BEFORE
WE SAY.
I'D KNOWS NO DISCRETION I AND
THIS OF THIS IF THERE WERE AN
AMENDMENT SAYING THAT THERE WAS
SOME DISCRETION --
CERTAINLY WE WOULD --
AT LEAST HALF TO RECONSIDER OUR
POSITION BUT I DON'T THINK THE
ABSOLUTE POSITION IS --
JUSTIFIED IN THIS CASE.
NEXT COULD AFTERNOON ELIZABETHAN
WHAT THE ACLU CALIFORNIA AND
PARTLY WHERE ALSO IN OPPOSITION
TO THIS BILL AYE WE DO
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS AS WE
UNDERSTAND THEM AND IS GOING THE
RIGHT DIRECTION BUT BUT WE ARE
STILL OPPOSED.
I'M ONE AT ECHO THE COMMENTS
FROM FROM THE PUBLIC DEFENDER
THINK YOU KNOW WE ABSOLUTELY
UNDERSTAND THAT MASSIVE BOUNCE A
VERY SERIOUS ISSUE IT CAUSES A
LOT OF HARM IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
I'M AND I THINK THAT A LOT OF
THE STATISTICS THAT WE HEARD
REALLY NDERLINED THE AMOUNT OF
HARM THAT IT CAUSES AND HOW
SERIOUS IT IS.
A BUT I DO AGREE THAT.
WE DIDN'T HEAR STATISTICS THAT
ACTUALLY POINT TO Y. EXTENDING A
TENURE BEYOND TOLD LIFETIME
BEYOND WOULD ACTUALLY CHANGE ANY
OF THOSE STATISTICS.
I AND AND SO.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE'D DO BELIEVE
ABOUT EIGHTY THREE ONE TWO NINE
IS THAT AND IT DOES PERPETUATE A
VERY HARMFUL AND UNFOUNDED
STEREOTYPE.
THAT A PERSON WHO HAS EVER BEEN
CONVICTED OF A CRIME IS FOREVER
INHERENTLY DANGEROUS ON AND UNIT
REGARDLESS OF HOW LONG AGO THE
CRIME WAS COMMITTED REGARDLESS
OF HOW SUCCESSFUL THE
REHABILITATION.
HAS BEEN SINCE THEN I'M WE AND
WE HEARD A STATISTIC FROM THE
LOS ANGELES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
ABOUT THE HIGH RATES OF
RECIDIVISM FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
[inaudible]
ON THE FOR PEOPLE WHO EVER SAID
EVADED THEY DON'T NEED THIS BILL
THEY'RE READY GONNA BE BANNED
FROM.
POSSESSING UP POSSESSING A
FIREARM THAT IT DOESN'T NEED TO
BE EXTENDED FOR LIFE SO THIS
BILL IS ONLY GONNA IMPACT PEOPLE
WHO DON'T RECIPROCATE --
EXCUSE ME.
I AM I ALSO JUST WANT TO POINT
OUT THAT UNDER CURRENT LAW
POLICE OFFICERS IF A POLICE
OFFICERS CONVICTED OF THE SAME
OFFENSE.
ON THAT FOR A MISDEMEANOR THEY
CAN ACTUALLY PETITION AGAIN
THEY'RE GONE BACK IMMEDIATELY
THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE TO WAIT TEN
YEARS SO UNDER THIS BILL WHICH
DOESN'T CHANGE THAT LAW.
AND THEY COME POLICE OFFICERS
CAN GET THEIR GONE BACK BUT
CIVILIANS WOULD --
WOULD BE FACED WITH A LIFETIME
BAN [inaudible]
I I'M THIS BAND IS NOT WITHOUT
CONSEQUENCES --
AT SOMEONE WHO COMES INTO
POSSESSION OF A FIREARM EVEN IF
IT'S FORTY YEARS AFTER A SINGLE
MISDEMEANOR CONNECTION NO CRIME
EVER SINCE THEN.
ON THAT THEY CAN BE PROSECUTED
IN INCARCERATED FOR FELONY ON
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A
DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON
COMMUNITIES COLOR.
AND YOU KNOW WE WE HEARD AGAIN
FROM THE LA DA THAT YOU HAVE
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SITUATION
THAT.
AFFECTS ACROSS ON ETHNIC LINES
ON THERE IS A LOT MORE
DISPROPORTIONATE.
IMPACT OF GUN GUN LAWS AND
ACCORDING TO THE DOJ IN --
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN A FOURTH OF
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ARRESTED FOR
FELONY WEAPONS OFFENSES.
WERE BLACK AND NEARLY HALF FOR
LATINO THIS IS COMPARED TO SIX
AND A HALF PERCENT OF THE
GENERAL POPULATION IS BLACK 39%
LATINO.
AND SO WE WE DO BELIEVE IN GUN
CONTROL WE WE WALKED ON CONTROL
THAT PROTECTS THE PUBLIC.
ON AND THE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE
AND WE WE DON'T THINK THAT THAT
THIS IS IT I'M THE WE DO THINK
THAT IT STIGMATIZES PEOPLE WITH.
CREEK WITH CONVICTIONS AND THEY
WOULD HAVE A DISPROPORTIONATE
IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
FOR THOSE REASONS WE ARE.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
ALRIGHT QUESTIONS FROM THE DIET
[inaudible]
THERE'S THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIRWOMAN AND I I DEFINITELY
WANT -- TO
UPON THE AUTHOR.
FOR DOING WHAT SHE FEELS IS
[inaudible]
WOULDN'T.
TO I KEEP GUNS OUT OF THE HANDS
OF PAINTERS PEOPLE --
HAVING SERVED IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
INCLUDING CANNOT AFFORD A
SUPERVISORS AND DOING RIDE
ALONGS WITH SHERIFF'S LE IN THE
MOST --
TROUBLING CALLS OF COURSE OUR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE --
AND USUALLY THERE'S SOMETIMES
ALCOHOL INVOLVED NURSING DRUGS
INVOLVED USUALLY IT'S SOMETIMES
IT'S A ISN'T IT COULD BE A MAN
AND A WOMAN OR MAN AND A MAN OR
WOMAN WOMAN PUSHING EACH OTHER
IN THE PLEASE COME WITH THEY DO
IT'S A REST OF BOTH.
AND THEY CHARGE IN BOTH AND MY
CONCERN IS THAT --
FOR A LITTLE SCUFFLE --
GET MISDEMEANOR --
CHARGES FILED AGAINST THEM THAT
THAT YOU HAVE A SITUATION WARY.
SINGLE MOTHER AS AN EXAMPLE MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO HARM HERSELF FOR
FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE WHICH I
THINK IS A VERY ONEROUS WITHOUT
ANY APPEAL.
PROCESS OR WAY FOR HER TO
RESTORE THOSE --
THOSE RIGHTS AND SO WHILE I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND
IF I FIND IT VERY HARD TO
BELIEVE MACKEY SIDING WITH THE
ACLU.
THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR YEARS
I'VE DONE THAT --
BUT I I GUESS I FIND A SOLDIER
UNITED ON THIS ONE ISSUE IN FOR
THOSE REACHED.
OPRAH JUST TO CLARIFY I'M TO
YOUR POINT --
ON THIS ON THE MINOR SCUFFLE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WE TOOK
SPECIFICALLY SAID THAT WE'RE
TAKING AMENDMENTS --
FOR TO FOLKS IN THE MORE SERIOUS
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE A MISDEMEANOR
OFFENSE IS NOT JUST A MINOR
SCUFFLE AND THAT WAS I DON'T
WORKING WITH THE CHAIR IN THE
COMMITTEE SYSTEMATICALLY THE
AMENDMENT IS THAT IT NOW ONLY
COVERS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
MISDEMEANOR IT'S WHO HAVE CAUSED
AN INJURY SO THOSE WHO WORK
CONVICTED.
UNDER SECTION TWO SEVEN THREE
POINT FIVE OF THE CODE.
SO THE SUBSTITUTE BECAUSE WE
WERE AWARE AND OF THE YOU KNOW.
SITUATIONS GET HOT A HEATED AND
THE MINOR PUSH HIS WORK WE
CONSIDERED THAT --
BASED ON THE COMMUNITY
COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS.
I DO APPRECIATE THAT I'M SO
CONCERNED ABOUT THE ABILITY TO
YOU KNOW APPEAL AND POTENTIALLY
RESTORE YOUR YOUR RIGHTS.
CANNOT BE HEARD ON THAT
AMENDMENT --
I'M I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT
PARTICULAR AMENDMENT.
BUT WITHOUT SEEING THE TEXT I
HAVE TO WONDER WHAT IT REALLY
MEANS BECAUSE TWO SEVENTY THREE
POINT FIVE MISDEMEANOR.
ALREADY REQUIRES A AND I'M NOT A
CONDITION TURNS OUT TO BE VERY
SLIGHT [inaudible]
RENDON YEAR.
BOB I HAVE CLIENTS OF MINE
PREDICTED ARE DRIVING YEAR.
AND SO.
I WITHOUT SAYING A DEFINITION OF
WHAT IT MEANS.
I HAVE TO SAY I MEAN ACTUALLY SO
THAT HE WILL CHANGE FROM.
THE EXISTING FORMAT --
MISTER BILL CENTERS YOU CAN
RESPOND.
VEHICLE SECTION TWO SEVENTY
THREE POINT FIVE AND I THAT I'M
SORRY AND ON MY CODES WITH ME
BUT AND IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I
PROSECUTE MISMATCH BUT I TWO
SEVENTY THREE POINT.
FIVE DEFINES WHAT THE INJURY IS
WHAT LEVEL.
OF I THINK IT'S YOU ASKED
[inaudible]
ALTER WHAT IS ALREADY --
THE LAW TODAY BUT I THINK IT IS
APPROPRIATE TO POINT OUT THAT IF
IT IS A MORE SERIOUS INJURY IT
IS THAT A FELONY.
CARUSO THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS
POINT THAT THE THAT CODE.
IS.
WHILE IT MUST BE.
AN INJURY IT CAN BE A MILES TO
OR PICTURING BACK. TO FOR THE
CHAIR CLOSER TO SEVENTY THREE
POINT FIVE IS A WALL BLUR --
SO DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF
INJURY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY CAN
FILE THAT --
AS A FELONY UP OR MISDEMEANOR --
IN MY EXPERIENCE THE TYPICAL
MISDEMEANORS WERE YOU KNOW THE
BLACK GUY --
YOU KNOW THE THE THE BLOODY NOSE
--
CLOTHES WERE BEING FILED AS THE
MISDEMEANORS THOUGH THE MORE
SERIOUS --
TYPE OF INJURIES FROM BEING
FILED AS THE FELLOW.
AND ALSO --
IF I MAY ADD --
YOU KNOW TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
RECIDIVISM I CAN SEE THE WORDS
AND ASSEMBLY IT IS I'M A SECOND
WHICH ARE KNOWN AND I TALKED.
GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH --
DOT THOUGH THE PROBLEM THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE IS AS WE READ IN THE
STATISTICS AS A LOT OF THESE
CASES ARE REPORTED SO OF COURSE
THERE IS NO.
RECIDIVISM BECAUSE THEY DON'T.
I IT'S NOT LIKE YOU KNOW SOME WE
GOT CAUGHT STEALING WHEN THEY
GET CAUGHT STEALING THEY GOT
CAUGHT STEALING THEY GET TAKEN
AND IF THEY GET CAUGHT STEALING
AGAIN.
WHEN THEY GET TAKEN AGAIN AND
YOU CAN TRACK OF THE YOU KNOW
THE THE THE THE AMOUNT OF TIME
THAT THEY HAVE BEEN --
INCARCERATE OR PICK THAT IN THIS
CASE THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE --
VICTIMS DON'T REPORT AND THAT'S
WHERE WHERE THIS BILL I SEE WHAT
IS MY CONCERN OR THIS IS WHAT
I'M TRYING TO ADDRESSES BECAUSE
THESE DAYS --
VICTIMS DON'T REPORT OR AND
REPORTING --
THIS IS WHERE THIS COMES AND
IT'S NOT A A DRASTIC CHANGE TO
THE FEDERAL LAW UNFORTUNATELY
THE FEDERAL LAW THE THE DEBATE
--
INDICATED.
THE WAY THE US PROSECUTORS ARE
NOT GOING TO COME DOWN AND AND
PROSECUTE SOLD THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FEDERAL ON
CALIFORNIA LAW.
SO MY HOPE IS TO ALIGN OUR
CALIFORNIA'S --
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE GUN LAWS TO
THE FEDERAL.
