SENATOR WILKES BILL.
SB TWO ZERO TWO DEALING WITH
ANIMAL BLOOD DONORS.
AND SENATOR BEFORE YOU BEGAN
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU
MET WITH THE CALVET CALIFORNIA
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
REGARDING THE USE OF THE TERM
GUARDIAN THROUGHOUT THE BILL.
AND THAT YOU'RE TAKING
AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD REPLACE
THE WORD GUARDIAN WITH THE OWNER.
ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU.
AND YOU'VE AGREED TO TAKE THIS
IS AUTHORS AMENDMENTS TODAY.
YES THANK YOU VERY MUCH PLEASE
GO AHEAD PRESENT.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
LIKE WHAT.
ARE WE CAN SKIP THAT PART
BECAUSE I AM GONNA TAKE THE
AMENDMENTS.
SO SB TWO OH TWO IS AN IMPORTANT
MEASURE TO ENSURE THAT HEALTHY
AND BOUNTIFUL BLOOD SUPPLY FOR
ANIMALS IS AVAILABLE ACROSS THE
STATE.
CALIFORNIA'S CURRENTLY FACING A
SHORTAGE OF ANIMAL BLOOD
PRODUCTS IN THE STATE NEEDS TO
HELP TO ENSURE THE WELL BEING OF
OUR ANIMALS AND PETS.
SB TWO OH TWO CLARIFIES EXISTING
LAW TO ALLOW FOR THE LICENSURE
COMMUNITY BASED ANIMAL BLOOD
BANKS.
AMBIGUITY IN THE CURRENT CODE IS
LEAD TO MORE LIMITED REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK.
ALLOWING ONLY FOR THE COMMERCIAL
USE OF BLOOD FROM -- CLOSED
COLONY BANKS WHICH KEEP DOGS AND
CATS HOUSE OF FOR YEARS ON THEIR
PREMISES TO TO EXTRACT THEIR
BLOOD.
WELL THESE BLOOD BANKS PLAY A
CRUCIAL ROLE ROLE IN
CALIFORNIA'S VETERINARIAN.
VETERINARIAN MEDICAL WORLD.
MAKING ALLOWANCES FOR COMMUNITY
ANIMAL DONORS AS WELL WILL HELP
INCREASE THE BLOOD SUPPLY.
AND ENSURE THAT BOTH ANIMALS AND
FAMILIES PROSPER BY HAVING THESE
PETS IN THEIR IN THEIR HOMES
THIS BILL WILL ALLOW THE ANIMAL
OWNERS TO VOLUNTEER THEIR DOGS
AND CATS. FOR BLOOD DONATIONS.
UNDER THE OVERSIGHT OF A
LICENSED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL.
WE HAVE DISCUSSES PROBE PROPOSAL
AT LENGTH WITH EXISTING ANIMAL
BLOOD BANKS AND WE ARE RECEPTIVE
TO THEIR CONCERNS AND AND
WILLING TO CONTINUE TO DIALOGUE
ON STICKING ISSUES.
LOOK.
FOR BOARD WORKING WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS IN REACHING A GOAL
THAT SUITS EVERYONE IN BENEFITS
THE ENTIRE ANIMAL COMMUNITY.
WITH ME TODAY I HAVE DOCTORS
KAREN HALOGEN. TO PRESENT
TESTIMONY YEAH HI I'M DOCTOR
HALOGEN I GRADUATED FROM UC
DAVIS IN NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE SO
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING THIRTY
YEARS.
I'M CURRENTLY THAT CHEAP THAT
OFFICER FOR THE LUCY PET
FOUNDATION AND WE PROVIDE FREE
SPIN NEUTER SERVICES AND
WELLNESS FOR LOW INCOME
RESIDENTS IN THE CITY OF LA.
I ALSO SERVED ON THE AMERICAN
RED CROSS BOARD IN LOS ANGELES
FOR SIX YEARS.
AND I AM CURRENTLY ON THE BOARD
OF SOCIAL COMPASSIONATE
LEGISLATION WHICH IS THE PROUD
SPONSOR.
OF SB.
TWO OH TWO CALIFORNIA IS THE
ONLY STATE IN THE NATION.
THAT DOES NOT ALLOW COMMUNITY
BASED ALLIED BANK.
AND THERE'S ONLY TWO COMPANIES
IN THE ENTIRE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT PROVIDE THIS
LIFESAVING BLOOD.
OR CATS AND DOGS TO COMPANIES.
I BELIEVE IT'S TIME FOR THIS
MONOPOLY TO END.
AND YOU NEED TO OPEN THE MARKET
SO WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO IS
THAT'S GOING TO ALLOW.
AT ITS CAN ALLEVIATE THE
SHORTAGE THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY
SEEING BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE
WAIT TIME IS CRITICAL FOR AN
ANIMAL IT GETS HIT BY A CAR AND
IT'S BLEEDING NOW.
WE NEED BLOOD HE HAS AUTOIMMUNE
DISEASE IT'S DYING RIGHT THERE
IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES WE NEED
BLOOD.
I EIGHTY THE DOG EATS RAT POISON
AND THEY'RE BLEEDING OUT THERE
SO MANY TIMES THAT WE NEED BOOD
AND THERE'S A CURRENT SHORTAGE.
BECAUSE AS I SAID THERE'S ONLY
TWO COMPANIES THAT PROVIDE FOR
US.
I'M AT THAT THE POSSIBILITIES
ARE ENDLESS INCLUDING I SEE LIKE
THE AMERICAN RED CROSS MOBILE
BLOOD BANKS -- THAT'S GONNA
ALLOW HUGE INCREASE OF BLOOD TO
VETERINARIANS CATS AND DOGS.
IN CALIFORNIA SO.
SB TWO OH TWO IS GOOD FOR
CALIFORNIA THAT'S IT'S GOOD FOR
CALIFORNIA DOGS AND CATS AND
IT'S GOOD FOR CALIFORNIA.
HAD OWNERS TO PLEASE VOTE YES IN

CALIFORNIA BASED VETERINARIAN
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR THE
PAST FIVE YEARS EXCLUSIVELY ON
ANIMAL WELFARE ISSUES.
AS THE SUPERVISING VETERINARIAN
FOR THE PIZZA FOUNDATION -- I'M
HERE TO SUPPORT SENATE BILL TWO
OH TWO THIS BILL WOULD OPEN UP A
NEW FRONTIER FOR VETERINARY
BUSINESS AND IT WOULD ALSO HELP
CREATE A MORE ROBUST AND
RELIABLE SUPPLY OF LIFESAVING
BLOOD PRODUCTS. FOR DOGS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA AND BEYOND.
THIS BILL IS IN MY OPINION LOOKS
REALLY A WIN FOR EVERYONE
INVOLVED FROM MY VETERINARY
COLLEAGUES AND OUR PATIENTS. TO
THE OWNERS WHO DEPEND UPON US TO
PROVIDE THE BEST VETERANS ARE
POSSIBLE TO THEIR BELOVED PETS
TO THE DONOR DOGS THEMSELVES.
MEET ANY BLOOD BANKS ARE VIABLE
AND INDEED ARE LITERALLY
THRIVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY
RIGHT NOW.
IN THESE BUSINESSES HEALTHY
DONOR DOGS WHO LIVE IN LOVING
HOMES ARE VOLUNTEERED BY THEIR
GUARDIANS. TO PROVIDE BLOOD FOR
DOGS IN NEED.
THESE DOGS AND THEIR OWNERS
BENEFIT FROM RECEIVING --
PREVENTATIVE HEALTH CARE AND
ROUTINE HEALTH SCREENINGS OFTEN
AT LOWER NO COST.
AND THEN RECIPIENT DOGS A
VETERINARIANS BENEFIT FROM THE
AVAILABILITY OF SAFE AND
RELIABLE BLOOD PRODUCTS.
WHICH ARE ALL TOO OFTEN IN SHORT
SUPPLY I'M IN CALIFORNIA.
EVERY SINGLE DOG DESERVE TO LIVE
IN A LOVING HOME.
AND EVERY SINGLE DOES NOT A DOG
DESERVES THE BEST VETERINARY
CARE POSSIBLE THIS IS BOTH
ACHIEVABLE -- THIS IS ACHIEVABLE
AND QUITE SIMPLE AND WE PLEASE
WE WOULD LIKE FOR YOU FOR
SUPPORT FOR SB TO A TWO THANK

ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
HI I'M JUDY MAY INCLUSO FOUNDER
AND PRESIDENT AS SOCIAL

PLEASE SUPPORT THE BILL AND
THANK YOU SENATOR WILK.
GOOD MORNING SUSAN MADDEN ACT
LIKE HAS PUBLIC AFFAIRS ON
BEHALF OF ANIMAL LEGAL DEFENSE
FUND IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION WERE
WITH CONCERNS.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF MA'AM
JERRY AND OF SHARED WILL MIKE
DILLON REPRESENT THE CALIFORNIA
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
WHERE IN THAT -- TWEENER
POSITION WE APPRECIATE VERY VERY
MUCH THE COMMITTEE AND SENATOR
WILK AGREEING TO TAKE OUT OF THE
WORD GUARDIAN.
AND WITH THESE AMENDMENTS -- WE
COMPLETELY REMOVE OPPOSITION AND
OUR BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETS
THIS WEEKEND AND THEY WILL BE
TAKEN A FORMAL POSITION BUT AS
AMENDED WE THINK THE BILL AS A
VERY POSITIVE STEP IN ALLOWING
FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A
COMMUNITY SOURCED.
I BANKS AND THE WHILE STILL
ALLOWING THE TWO EXISTING BLOOD
BANKS TO CONTINUE THEIR
OPERATIONS ARE VETERINARIAN FEEL
VERY STRONGLY THAT COMPLETING
SHUTTING THEM DOWN WOULD BE.
A REAL PROBLEM AND SO ALLOWING
IT -- TO TO GO FORWARD WE THINK
IS A POSITIVE STEP THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
NEXT WITNESS.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS CHAT BRIEFLY ****
GREENBERG TRAURIG ON BEHALF OF
ANIMAL BLOOD BANK -- ANIMAL
BLOOD BANK IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
COMMUNITY SOURCED BLOOD BANKING
IN FACT THEY OPERATE A COMMUNITY
SOURCED BLOOD BANK IN MICHIGAN --
I WOULD TELL YOU THAT THERE IS A
SHORTAGE OF BLOOD NOT ONLY IN
CALIFORNIA.
BUT THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
WERE COMMUNITY FORCED BLOOD
BANKS OPERATE SO WE WELCOME --
QUALITY BLOOD TO THE MARKET.
I'M WILL DO OUR BEST TO SUPPORT
COMMUNITY BLOOD BANKS.
A WE DO HAVE THREE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL PRINCIPALLY THAT --
THE CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTION
THAT EXISTS IN IN CURRENT LAW
AND THAT IS PROPOSED FOR THE
COMMUNITY SOURCE BLOOD BANKS
NEEDS TO BE CONTINUED.
I'M FOR REASONS THAT WERE CLEAR
TWENTY YEARS AGO AND REMAIN
TODAY.
I'M ALSO HAD THE BILL WOULD
CHANGE.
THE LICENSING REQUIREMENT FROM A
PERSON QUALIFIED TO RUN A BLOOD
BANK TO A LICENSED VETERINARIAN
THAT IS BOTH A TOO STRINGENT
INTO ENGINE TO LENIENT IN THAT
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE A
VETERINARIAN TO RUN A BLOOD BANK.
AND JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A
VETERINARIAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU
CAN'T RUN A BLOOD BANK.
SO WE THINK EXISTING LAWS PINE
AN EXISTING LAW ALSO REQUIRES
OVERSIGHT BY A LICENSED
VETERINARIAN SO-- HAVING IT RUN
BY A BY A LICENSED VETERINARIAN
IS DUPLICATIVE.
AND FINALLY.
THERE'S A PROVISION IN EXISTING
LAW THAT TALKS ABOUT THE MAXIMUM
LENGH OF TIME.
A DONATION IN THE BILL WOULD
CHANGE -- THE WORD OR TAKE AND
THAT PROVISION WAS PUT THERE TO
ACCOMMODATE THE TWO EXISTING
BLOOD BANKS ONE OF WHICH RELIES
UPON THE THE FIRST PROPOSITION.
EIGHT THEY TAKE.
A DONOR OR THEY TAKE DOGS FROM
THE GREYHOUND RACING INDUSTRY --
WHO DONATE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME
BEFORE THEY -- OR TRANSFERRED
OWNERSHIP TO ANOTHER HOME WHERE
IS ANIMAL BLOOD BANK HAS ALWAYS
RESCUED ANIMALS -- AND NOW HAS
TO USE BRED ANIMALS BECAUSE OF
RESCUE ANIMALS ARE NO LONGER
AVAILABLE TO THEM BUT THOSE
ANIMALS DONATE WHILE THEY'RE
HEALTHY.
AND WHEN THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY
THEY CONTINUE ON AS PART OF THE
PACK.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION OR WITH CONCERNS.
OKAY -- TO THE AUTHOR COULD YOU
RESPOND FOR THE COMMITTEE TO THE
CONCERNS THAT WERE JUST RAISE AN
OPTION.
I THINK WE'VE GOT A MEETING
SCHEDULE LATER LATER THIS WEEK --
TODAY TO DISCUSS TO DISCUSS
THOSE ISSUES -- AND NUMBER THOSE
ISSUES I I THINK.
RE BE TOTALLY AMENABLE -- TO
NEED TO HAVE MORE DISCUSSIONS ON
THAT ON THAT.
ON THE ASPECT OF THE
CONFIDENTIALITY -- WE'RE NOT
RELEASING ANY PERSON'S NAME IS
JUST GONNA BE DATA ON ON ON ON
THE THE DOCKS THEMSELVES MEDICAL
DATA SO ON SO BUT WE WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS AS YOU KNOW THIS
IS A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS.
AND THE WHOLE POINT OF THE BILL
IS NOT TO PUT ANYBODY OUT OF
BUSINESS AS MORE RADICAL
APPROACH BEING TAKEN OVER IN THE
ASSEMBLY SIDE.
BUT TO JUST.
TO INCREASE THE RATE LIABILITY
OF THESE BLOOD BANKS AND THEN
AGAIN AS MENTIONED BY THE DOCTOR
TO HAVE THESE.
HER DOGS YOU KNOW RAISED IN A
LOVING ENVIRONMENT SO IT'S A WIN
WIN FOR THE DOGS FOR THE
FAMILIES.
AND FOR THE RECIPIENTS OF THE OF
THE BLOOD DONATION SO YEAH WE'RE
GOOD GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE
THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

HOPEFULLY WE ALL CAN GET TO BUT

EIGHTY FIVE I MADAM CHAIR THIS
LEGISLATION IS A TRUTH IN
LABELING TRANSPARENCY BILL.
THAT CLOSES A LOOPHOLE IN THE
CURRENT LAW THAT ALLOWS FOR
COMPANIES TO USE THE NAMES OF
APPELLATIONS IN THE PRODUCTS IN
ADVERTISING AND IT FURTHER
CLARIFIES THE ORGANIC
CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR
CANNABIS IN CANADA PRODUCTS ON
THE GOLDEN STATE.
CURRENTLY IS YOUNG THOUGH IT IS
LEGAL FOR CANVAS PRODUCTS USING
NAME OF A CALIFORNIA COUNTY THE
PRODUCT'S LABELING ITS MARKETING
OR PACKAGING.
EVEN IF THE CANNABIS WAS DOT
RHONE IN THAT COUNTY BOARDS.
BUT THERE IS A LOOPHOLE UNDER
THE MEDICAL AND DON'T USE
CANNABIS REGULATION AND SAFETY
ACT THAT ALLOWS FOR THE LABELING
OF CANVAS PRODUCTS TO
MISREPRESENT THE NAME OF
APPELLATIONS.
THIS CAN MAKE CONSUMERS THINK
THAT THE PRODUCT THEIR
PURCHASING IS GROWN IN A
SPECIFIC REGION.
IN FACT IT'S NOT.
SB ONE EIGHTY FIVE EXPANDS THE
PROHIBITIONS RD STATUTE.
ON IMPROPERLY USING COUNTY NAMES
FOR CANNABIS PRODUCTS DO INCLUDE
ANY SIMILAR SOUNDING NAME
APPELLATIONS THAT IS LIKELY TO
MISREPRESENT THE ORIGIN OF THE
PRODUCT.
THIS WILL ENSURE THAT IF
PRODUCTS ARE LABELED IN WAYS
THAT LEAD CONSUMERS TO BELIEVE
THERE FROM CERTAIN AREAS.
THOSE PRODUCTS SHOULD IN FACT BE
FROM THOSE LOCATIONS.
SIMULATING LIES HAVE
SUCCESSFULLY BEEN IN PLACE FOR
WINE HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND AT
THE FEDERAL LEVELS FOR YEARS.
AND IT IS PROMOTED CORPORATE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND CLARITY FOR
CUSTOMERS FOR EXAMPLE WHEN A
CONSUMER BUYS.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL COMMISSIONER
TO INCLUDE CANNABIS AS AN
ADDENDUM TO THE COUNTY'S ANNUAL
AGRICULTURE REPORT.

SOME COUNTIES ARE FINDING THAT
BECAUSE CANNABIS IS CURRENTLY
NOT INCLUDED IN THE ANNUAL CROP
REPORT IT IS NOT AN ACCURATE
REPRESENTATION.
OF THE COUNTY'S AGRICULTURAL
CULTIVATION.
NORMALIZING CANNABIS AS AN
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT WILL
ENCOURAGE UNLICENSED GROWERS TO
COME FORWARD AND BECOME
LEGITIMATE PERMITTED AND TAX
PAYING BUSINESSES.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CALIFORNIA
FARM BUREAU FEDERATION IS
SUPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED. TO THE
