MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS --
CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO OVER NINE
MILLION CHILDREN.
WHAT CHILD WELFARE IS ALWAYS
BEEN A PRIORITY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE STILL HAVE AMONG?
THE WORST OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN
HEALTH EDUCATION JUVENILE
JUSTICE FOR EXAMPLE CALIFORNIA
RANKS FORTY FIRST AND FOR PER
PUPIL SPENDING CALIFORNIA RANKS
FORTY THIRD FOR THE RATE OF
YOUNG CHILDREN RECEIVING
DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENINGS.
AND HALF OF ALL CHILDREN IN
CALIFORNIA FOSTER CARE RENDERED
FOUR OR MORE ADVERSE TODD HAD
EXPERIENCES WHICH ARE MORE
LIKELY LEAD TO CHRONIC DISEASES
ADULTHOOD.
WE DO HAVE MULTIPLE STATE
AGENCIES AND DEPARTMENTS
PROVIDING DIRECT SERVICES THAT
AIM ALLEVIATING THESE CHALLENGES
AND YET WE HAVE NOT SEEN THE
NEED TO MOVE ON SOME OF THESE
MEASURES.
OF CHILD WELL BEING.
A CHILDREN'S CABINET MADE UP OF
KEY AGENCY LEADERS CAN HELP
MOBILIZE EFFORTS AND RESOURCES
ROUTE STATE PRIORITIES FOR
CHILDREN IMPROVE EFFICIENCY AND
SERVICE DELIVERY CROSS STATE
LOCAL DEPARTMENTS.
AS BEFORE TWENTY ONE WOULD
ESTABLISH THE CHILDREN'S CABINET
DEVELOP A SHARED VISION AMONG
THE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT NOR
TO PRODUCE.
A CHILD A FAMILY OUTCOMES THIS
CABINET I WOULD BE QUARTERLY
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT A
REPORT EVERY TWO YEARS WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE
COORDINATION OF SERVICES. TO
CHILDREN YOUTH AND FAMILIES I
WANT THANK YOU AND YOUR
COMMITTEE FOR WORKING WITH MY
OFFICE IN A CRAFTING.
THESE -- SPECIFICS.
THE NATIONAL GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION CONSIDERS CHILDREN'S
CABINETS A BEST PRACTICE AND
EARLY SIXTEEN OTHER STATES THAT
HAVE A CHILDREN'S CABINET.
THE NATIONAL GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION HAS ALSO SET FORTH
GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR
ESTABLISHING A CHILDREN'S
CABINET AND A LOOK FORWARD TO
UTILIZING THESE PRINCIPLES A
WORKING WITH STAPLES REFINED
CABINETS SPECIFIC GOALS ENSURE
SUCCESS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE

THANK YOU SENATOR -- WITNESSES

WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION -- SO
WITH THAT -- OBVIOUSLY WERE
SUBCOMMITTEE I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR WORK IN THIS AREA I
THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
WORK AND I WILL BE --
RECOMMENDING AND I BUILT ON THIS
BILL THANK YOU THANKS FOR MUCH.
OKAY ITEM NUMBER EIGHT SB.
FIVE TWELVE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AGAIN CHAIR AND
MEMBERS FOR THE OUT THE PRESENT
SB FIVE TWELVE I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH -- MY OFFICE ON AMENDMENTS
WHICH WILL ACCEPT TO ADD A FIVE
YEAR SUNSET TO THE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE.
SB FIVE TWELVE TAKES THE FIRST
CRITICAL STEP TWO IS CREATING A
NEW LONG TERM SERVICES AND
SUPPORTS OUR L. TSS BENEFIT FOR
CALIFORNIA.
THE NEED FOR THIS LEGISLATION
THIS NEW BENEFIT IS URGENT
ALMOST EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE
EITHER OLDER ADULTS ARE
INDIVIDUALS WITH PHYSICAL MENTAL
DISABILITIES CURRENTLY LIVE IN
CALIFORNIA.
THIS POPULATION WILL GROW
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE NEXT
DECADE.
UNFORTUNATELY MANY CALIFORNIANS
LACK ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE L. TSS
SERVICES.
LONG TERM SERVICES AND SUPPORTS
ARE NOT ADEQUATELY COVERED BY
MEDICARE AND MOST CALIFORNIANS
CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE
PRIVATE LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE.
PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR LTE
ASSESSES THE HIGHLY EXPENSIVE
AND CREATES A SIGNIFICANT
FINANCIAL SOCIAL BURDEN FOR
FAMILIES.
ALTERNATIVE LEE CALIFORNIANS
MUST SPEND DOWN THROUGH THEIR
LIFE SAVINGS TO BECOME ELIGIBLE
FOR MEDICARE NOW. TOO OFTEN THIS
IS THE PRIMARY MEANS BY WHICH
OLDER ADULTS AND INDIVIDUALS
WITH DISABILITIES CURRENTLY
RECEIVE ACCESS TO PAID LONG TERM
SUPPORTS AND SERVICES.
MEDI CAL IS A CRITICAL SAFETY
NET BUT THIS SYSTEM IS BEING
OVER BURDEN AND CERTAINLY -- AT
HAVING TO BE SUPPORTED BY
TAXPAYERS.
INDIVIDUALS SHOULD HAVE TO
IMPOVERISH THEMSELVES SPEND
THROUGH THEIR LIFE SAVINGS AND
OUR CHILDREN'S INHERITANCE OR TO
FOREGO WORKING IN A GENERATING
EARNED INCOME IN ORDER TO HAVE
ACCESS TO THE SERVICES THEY NEED
TO LIVE.
INDEPENDENT HIGH QUALITY LIVES.
THIS LEGISLATION IS CREATING A
FRAMEWORK FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF
LONG TERM SERVICES AND SUPPORTS.
BLOTTER SUBJECT SERVICES
SUPPORTS BENEFIT TO BE AVAILABLE
TO ALL CALIFORNIANS SPECIFICALLY
SB FIVE TWELVE CREATES THE
INFRASTRUCTURE MODELED AFTER THE
CALCIUM OR SECURE CHOICE PROGRAM

SIGN IN FINANCE AND YOUBENEFIT
INDEED THIS LEGISLATION
SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA
AGING AND DISABILITY ALLIANCE
WHICH REPRESENTS TWENTY
ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE
SPECTRUM OF L. T..
STAKEHOLDERS WE NEED TO MOVE
FORWARD NOW TO PUT THESE
CRITICAL PIECES IN PLACE SO THAT
WE CAN CONTINUE MOVING FORWARD
WITH BENEFIT AND FINANCING
DESIGN.
WE WILL -- I PLEASED TO HAVE IN
SUPPORT TESTIMONY FROM THE
CALIFORNIA FOUNDATION FOR
INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTERS AND
A. R. P. EXPECT THE ASPIRIN I
THOUGHT THANK YOU [inaudible]
GOOD MORNING.
CRISTINA MILLS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA FOUNDATION FOR
INDEPENDENT LIVING CENTERS A
VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE TODAY ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ALLIANCE.
FOR AT PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
AN AGING COMMUNITY AND
INTRODUCING OUR WONDERFUL
SPEAKER TODAY FROM SACRAMENTO
CAME LATE TRIP TO TALK ABOUT HOW
THE BILL WOULD.
HELP HER IF IT WERE PASSED WE
ARE IN SUPPORT.
SPORTING GOOD MORNING -- AS
MENTIONED MY NAME'S CAM LATER
OUT I AM THIRTY THREE YEARS OLD
AND I LIVE WITH A DISABILITY.
I WAS BORN WITHOUT ARMS OR LEGS.
ALSO AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED I
WAS BORN AND RAISED HERE IN
SACRAMENTO AND I AM A REGISTERED
VOTER -- THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
TODAY AND I MEAN HERE IN SUPPORT
FOR IT SB. FIVE TWELVE FOR AS
FAR BACK AS I CAN REMEMBER.
I WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT WORKING
FULL TIME AND KEEPING MY LONG
TERM SUPPORTS AND SERVICES WOULD
JUST NOT BE POSSIBLE.
INSTEAD OF JUST ACCEPTING THAT
IS FACT I DECIDED TO CHALLENGE
IT.
I WANTED TO COME HOME AT NIGHT
KNOWING THAT I SPENT MY DAY NOT
ONLY DOING MY PART IN
CONTRIBUTING AND GIVING BACK TO
MY COMMUNITIES.
BUT I DID MY PART AS AN AMERICAN
TAXPAYER WHO COULD CONTRIBUTE TO
MY COUNTRY.
A FEW YEARS BACK WHAT I HAD
ALWAYS DREAMED BECAME A REALITY
WHEN I WAS OFFERED MY VERY FIRST
INTERNSHIP.
THAT INTERNSHIP TURNED INTO A
PART TIME JOB.
AND EVENTUALLY AFTER HARD WORK.
MY FULL TIME MY PART TIME JOB
TURNED INTO A FULL TIME -- JOB.
THAT WAS A VERY DIFFICULT
DECISION TO MAKE TO ACCEPT THAT
JOB.
BECAUSE I KNEW THERE WAS AN
INCOME THRESHOLD. TO WHAT I
COULD EARN IN ORDER TO KEEP MY
LONG TERM SUPPORTS AND SERVICES.
NONE THE LESS I DECIDED TO
PERSEVERE AND MOVE FORWARD.
ALWAYS MAKING SURE THAT I NEVER
HAD THAT INCOME LIMIT AS TO PUT
MY LONG TERM SUPPORTS AND
SERVICES AT RISK.
BUT BUT IN DECEMBER OF TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN MY FATHER
PASSED AWAY.
AND I BEGAN TO RECEIVE SOME OF
HIS BENEFITS.
THIS MEANT THAT I COULD NO
LONGER KEEP MY EARNED INCOME.
AND MY LONG TERM SUPPORTS AND
SERVICES.
SO I WAS FACED WITH THE CHOICE.
TO EITHER KEEP MY HEALTH CARE
AND MY PERSONAL CARE ATTENDANTS
THAT ENABLES ME TO LIVE
INDEPENDENTLY.
OR TO QUIT MY JOB.
A JOB THAT I HAD WORKED SO HARD.
FOR A JOB WHERE I WAS GROWING MY
SKILLS IN.
AND HAD THE WHERE I HAD BUILT MY
COMMUNITY AND MY NETWORK THROUGH.
I THOUGHT ROB THAT I WAS FORCED
TO BE DUG GIVE UP EVERYTHING AND
I ALSO FELT DISAPPOINTED THAT I
WAS GOING TO REMAIN ON THE
SYSTEM.
BUT SINCE THERE'S NO WAY I CAN
AFFORD OUT OF POCKET COSTS FOR
MY LONG TERM SUPPORTS AND
SERVICES ON MY EARNED INCOME
ALONE.
I DID QUIT MY JOB.
SO THAT I CAN MAINTAIN LIVING AT
HOME AND LIVING INDEPENDENTLY.
I AM NOT ALONE.
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR FACED
WITH THESE KINDS OF DECISIONS.
WHETHER WE CHOOSE TO PURSUE JOBS
CAREERS AND EARN AN INCOME OR TO
KEEP THE SERVICES AND SUPPORTS
THAT WE NEED TO LIVE
INDEPENDENTLY.
THIS DECISION IS NOT FAIR AND IT
IS ALWAYS PLACED ON PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES.
WITH YOUR SUPPORT OF SB.
FIVE TWELVE THERE WILL BE MORE
OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR PEOPLE
LIKE MYSELF SO THAT WE ARE NOT
FACED WITH THESE UNFAIR
SITUATIONS.
THERE WILL BE MORE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR US TO BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO
PURSUE A CAREER.
WITHOUT RISKING OUR SERVICES.
THE SERVICES THAT WE NEED IN
ORDER TO LIVE THE LIFE WE
DESERVE. TO LIVE SAFELY AND
INDEPENDENTLY IN OUR OWN HOMES
AND WITHIN OUR COMMUNITIES.
I STRONGLY LOOK FORWARD TO GOING
BACK TO WORK AND HAVING THE
SUPPORT OF SB FIVE TWELVE THANK
YOU [inaudible]
THANK YOU.

APPOINTMENT WAS A ONE HOLDING A
FAIR BECAUSE I DRIVE FROM

A GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO START-OFF BY SUBPOENA COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS OFFERED -- BY THE
COMMITTEE WHICH WOULD AMEND THE
BILL TO CLARIFY THAT THE RIDLEY
ARMORIES NOW ELIGIBLE FOR SALE.
I ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR CHAIR
AND FELIPE LOPEZ WITH THE
COMMITTEE FOR WORKING WITH OUR
OFFICE ON THESE IMPORTANT
AMENDMENTS.
A SENATE BILL FIVE ALL ONE WILL
HELP A SMALL COMMUNITY IN THE
SOUTHERN CENTRAL VALLEY RETAIN
AN ARMORY THAT WILL HELP SERVE
OUR VETERANS IN THE REGION.
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS
RIDLEY AREA VETERANS HAVE
OPERATED THE ARMORY FOR VARIOUS
EVENTS INCLUDING VETERAN
SERVICES.
THE READ LEE AREA VETERANS WORK
TO HELP RETURNING VETERANS WHO
ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET
THROUGH RENTAL ASSISTANCE.
OR WORKING WITH FOUNDATIONS THE
LIKE THE JOE LUSK MEMORIAL
FOUNDATION TO PER RIGHT TO
PROVIDE RESOURCES FOOD AND
ASSISTANCE WITH MEDICAL COSTS TO
VETERANS.
AND THEIR FAMILIES.
THE CITY OF RIDLEY AS INVESTED
IN MAKING SURE THAT THE ARMORY
STAYS IN THE COMMUNITY FOR
PURPOSES OF SERVING OUR VETERANS.
AND ALREADY WORKS TO MAINTAIN
THE ARMORY INCLUDING THE LAWN
AND LANDSCAPING AND WORKS WITH
NONPROFIT ENTITIES TO ENSURE
VETERANS SERVICES ACCESSIBLE TO
VETERANS IN THE REGION.
HOWEVER AS A RIDLEY ARMORY WAS
AUTHORIZED FOR SALE BY THE BY
LAST YEAR'S COMMITTEE BILL AB.
THREE TWO FIVE ONE THE CITY OF
RIDLEY HAS BEEN WORKING WITH THE
STATE TO TRY TO KEEP THE ARMY
NOW THAT IT HAS BEEN.
UP FOR SALE.
THE WRIGLEY ARMORY SERVES AS A
CRITICAL ACCESS POINT FOR
VETERANS AND RIDLEY AND
SURROUNDING REGION.
WHO OFTEN HAVE TO DIFFICULTY
ACCESSING YOUR AMERICAN LEGION
POSTER NEARBY VETERANS ARE BEING
ORGANIZATIONS? FOR EXAMPLE THE
NEAREST VETERANS MEMORIAL
DISTRICT IS IN CLOVIS OVER TWO
HOURS AWAY BY PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION.
AND FORTY MINUTES AWAY BY CAR.
AS PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED SB
FIVE A ONE WILL HELP ENSURE THAT
OUR LOCAL.
THERE ARE RURAL COMMUNITIES AND
VETERANS ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO
THESE CRITICAL SERVICES BY
CLARIFYING CLARIFYING THAT THE
ARMORY IS NOT -- ELIGIBLE FOR
CELL AND ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT
TODAY ON THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE
AND WITH ME TODAY I HAVE PAUL
MELIKIAN REPRESENTING THE CITY
OF RIDLEY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SENATOR --
HER TADO.
THOSE AYE COMMENTS WE WE
ABSOLUTELY -- SUPPORT THOSE
COMMENTS.
THE CITY OF RIDLEY IS A
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY WITH
POCKETS THAT ARE ACTUALLY
CLASSIFIED AS SEVERELY
DISADVANTAGED AND FOR OVER A
DECADE THE READ LEE AREA
VETERANS HAVE SIX SUCCESSFULLY
OPERATED THE THE ARMORY AS A
REGIONAL -- FACILITY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF VETERANS OF ALL
BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY.
THE FACILITY IS WELL USED BY
VETERANS -- BETTER BOTH IN THE
CITY AND IN THE ENTIRE REGION
THAT ACTUALLY -- PART WORLD WAR
TWO VETERANS KOREA VIETNAM AS
AND TO THE MORE RECENT WARS AND
ENGAGEMENT -- IN THE MIDDLE EAST
THIS IS A TRULY MULTI
GENERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT THAT IS
CREATED A STRONG SUPPORT NETWORK
FOR THOSE RECENT VETERANS THAT
ARE TRANSITIONING BACK INTO
CIVILIAN LIFE.
AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
GREATEST.
DIED THE GREATEST GENERATION TO
GIVE BACK IN WAYS THAT THEY
SIMPLY WOULD NOT HAVE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR
THE ARMORY -- THE CITY IS A
GEOGRAPHICALLY ISOLATED WORLD
COMMUNITY WITH AS THE AS A
SENATOR SPOKE IS AT THE ACCESS
TO SERVICES FOR THE ECONOMICALLY
OR MOBILITY CHALLENGED ARE
SOMETIMES SEVERAL HOURS -- WAY
AND RECOGNIZING THIS NEED THE
READ LEE AREA VETERANS FORMED A
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE
SOLE MISSION IT IS TO OPERATE
THE THE FOR THE ARMORY FOR THE
BENEFIT OF VETERANS UP ALL
BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY. ONE
SUCH IMPORTANT ACTIVITY IS --
HOSTING REGULAR RESOURCE FAIRS
TO CONNECT VETERANS TO CRITICAL
IMPORTANCE SERVICES IN THEIR
LIVES ESPECIALLY THOSE
TRANSITIONING BACK IN THOSE TO
CIVILIAN LIFE.
THE CITY. FOR THE RIDLEY AREA
VETERAN SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE
FUNDING AT THIS TIME TO PURCHASE
THE FACILITY OUT RIGHT HOWEVER
OUR LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND
THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE
UNEQUIVOCALLY FEEL THAT SELLING
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
WHICH SERVE TO DESTABILIZE THE
VETERANS AND THE IMPORTANT WORK
THAT IS OCCURRING AT THE
FACILITY I PERSONALLY HAVE A
FAMILY MEMBER THAT WAS STATIONED
AT THE ATTHE ARMORY IN THE
NINETEEN SIXTIES AND CAN ATTEST
THAT THERE IS A VERY STRONG
EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT TO THIS
REGIONAL -- FACILITY AT THAT AND
AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR IN THE
ENTIRE REGION WE IMPLORE YOU TO
PLEASE ALLOW THE RIDLEY AREA
VETERANS WHO HAVE SERVED THIS
COUNTRY AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE
WORLD IN THEIR DARKEST HOURS. TO
TO CONTINUE TO HAVE A PLACE TO
ASSEMBLE A PLACE TO VOLUNTEER A
PLACE TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER AND
TO REMAIN A BEACON IN THIS CAN
THIS SIDE COMMUNITY -- THANK YOU
VERY MUCH THANK YOU -- ANYBODY
ELSE WISHING TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
IN OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE ANY QUESTIONS CENTER
ARCHULETA.
I'D LIKE TO THANK THE SENATOR
AGAIN FOR STANDING UP FOR HER
COMMUNITY.
IN THE CERTAINLY THE VETERANS
AND IS WHEN IT BECAME -- WHEN IT
VIA THE BILL BECAME BEFORE OF
THE VETERANS COMMITTEE MY
CONCERN IS THAT IT WOULD ALWAYS
BE USE FOR VETERANS?
ALL BRANCHES NOT GIVEN TO ONE
PARTICULAR UNIT LIKE VFW
AMERICAN LEGION -- AMVETS ANYONE
BUT JUST GENERALLY USED BY ALL
BETTER AND AND UNDER THE
UMBRELLA OF THE CITY.
AND FOR MAINTENANCE AND CARE AND
THE END OF THE MANAGEMENT.
AND THAT WAS ONE OF THE THE THE
CONDITIONS.
THE OTHER OF WHICH ARE ANY LAST
MINUTE -- AMENDMENTS FROM A FEW
HOURS AGO TO NOW IN REFERENCE TO
A LEASE PURCHASE.
A NON PURCHASE AND IT WAS THERE
ANY AMENDMENTS THAT THE THREE
MEN.
OF THE OTHER THE THE ONE
AMENDMENT -- IS A IT IMMENSE --
FIVE OH ONE THAT WILL DELETE
CURRENT CONTENTS THE BILL
INSTEAD WOULD REMOVE THE CURRENT
AUTHORIZATION TO SELL.
THE THE THE ARMORY.
AND SO -- I APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR TAKING -- THOSE
AMENDMENTS THAT ALLOWS US TO
STAY CONSISTENT WITH OUR
POLICIES.
THAT WE'VE HAD THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ON THE SALE OF STATE
PROPERTY.
EVERYBODY IS BEING TREATED
EXACTLY THE SAME BUT I THINK
ULTIMATELY YOUR END GAME HERE IS --
YEAH OUT.
REALLY STRONG AND WE SUPPORT
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AND I
SUPPORT THE BILL IN URGENT AYE
VOTE THANK YOU.
WELL SENATOR WE STILL DON'T HAVE
A QUORUM WHAT'S ONE OF THE
NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HAVING
SUCH A BIG -- COMMITTEE.
YOU JUST NEED TO HAVE A THING
WHAT WE NEED TO HAVE A MEMBERS
HERE NINE MEMBERS. NINE MEMBERS
IN THE ROOM AT THE SAME TIME --
TO GET A QUORUM SO I APPRECIATED
THIS -- BILL WITH A MAMMOTH WILL --
ENJOYED TO PASS --
RECOMMENDATIONS SO THANK YOU

TWENTY THIRTEEN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA EDISON SHUT DOWN THE
REMAINING TWO UNITS THAT SERRANO
FREE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
ALSO KNOWN AS SONGS WITH THE
CLOSURE OF THEIR UNITS THEY HAVE
MADE THE DECISION TO COMMENCE
THE NUCLEAR DECOMMISSIONING
PROCESS.
WHILE FINANCES OPERATIONAL ON
EDISON WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR
PROVIDING LOCAL AGENCIES WITH
THE NUCLEAR POWER PREPAREDNESS
FUNDS.
THESE FUNDS WERE USED BY
COUNTIES AND CITIES TO PLAN AND
PREPARE DRILL IN RESPOND TO ANY
EMERGENCY INCIDENTS REGARDING
THE NUCLEAR SITES.
THE COMMISSION PLANTS ARE NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING SUCH
FUNDING EVEN THOUGH THAT RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH STORED NUCLEAR
FUEL REMAINS.
SB FOR SIXTY FIVE MAKES IT CLEAR
IN STATUTE THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WILL CONTINUE TO
RECEIVE FUNDING FOR COSTS
INCURRED.
AS A RESULT OF CARRYING OUT
ACTIVITIES THAT ENSURE THE
SAFETY AND WELFARE OF THE
COMMUNITY SURROUNDING SONGS.
IN TWENTY FIFTEEN EDISON IN THE
COUNTIES.
ENTERED INTO A SEVEN YEAR
NUCLEAR FUNDING AGREEMENT WHICH
CONTINUE CONTINUED EMERGENCY
PLANNING AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
CAPABILITY RELATED TO SONGS THIS
AGREEMENT MAINTAIN FUNDING AT A
100% UNTIL.
TWENTY NINETEEN BEGINNING IN
TWENTY TWENTY FUNDING WOULD GO
AYE DOWN FIRST 275% IN AND 50%

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO.
DONNA.
THANK YOU SENATOR BATES GOOD
MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND THE
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD -- SB FOR
SIXTY FIVE IS THE SOLUTION TO
THE LEGISLATIVE GAP IN FUNDING
FOR LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES
THAT HAS RESULTED FROM AS
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON
SENATE -- FREE NUCLEAR.
STATION DE COMMISSIONING.
DECOMMISSIONING PROCESS
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED ON SITE
EMERGENCY RESPONSE CAPABILITIES.
AND LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES
MAINTAIN THE RESPONSIBILITY TO
RESPOND TO ANY EMERGENCY AT SAN
ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING
STATION.
AND COORDINATE WITH THE SAN
ONOFRE NUCLEAR GENERATING
STATION IN THAT RESPONSE.
COMMUNITY CONCERN HAS REMAINED A
CONSTANT HIGH LEVEL PUBLIC
SAFETY AGENCIES HAVE DOCUMENTED
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR RESPONDING
ON SITE.
SENATE -- FREE NUCLEAR
GENERATING STATIONS PERMANENTLY
DE FIELD EMERGENCY PLAN LISTS
OFF SITE EMERGENCY RESPONSE
AGENCIES ARE.
PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES AS THOSE
THAT WILL RESPOND TO EMERGENCY
PROVIDE NOTIFICATION TO OTHER
EMERGENCY RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS.
SENATE OF FREE MAINTAINS AN A
SITE SPECIFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT
EMERGENCY RSPONSE PLAN IN WHICH
OUR LOCAL EMERGENCY RESPONDERS.
OUR FIRST IN FOR EMERGENCIES AT
THE PLANTS.
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
ARE PROVIDED WITH TRAINING IN
THE TOOLS IN ADVANCE OF THOSE
INCIDENTS.
ALL FIRST RESPONDERS MUST BE
PROVIDED WITH THE RIGHT
EQUIPMENT THE TRAINING AND
MONITORING TO ENSURE THEIR
SAFETY.
WHILE THEY ACT TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITY.
THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
DECOMMISSIONING AT A NUCLEAR
PLANT STILL EXISTS.
WITHIN THE SITUATION AT SEVEN OH
FREE.
AN PASSED DOCUMENTED
COMPLICATIONS THERE IS A
DEMONSTRATED NEED TO CONTINUE
THE CURRENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE
CAPABILITY.
SB FOUR SIXTY FIVE RESOLVES THE
ISSUE OF CONTINUAL NEGOTIATIONS
FOR ALL PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES.
BY RETURNING TO THEIR ORIGINAL
FORMAT FOR FUNDING.
THE FUNDING WILL PASS THROUGH
THE STATE AND ENDS. FOR THE
ORIGINATES THE UTILITY IT PASSES
THROUGH IS THAT THROUGH THE
STATE AND ENDS WITH THE PUBLIC
SAFETY AGENCIES.
AS BEFORE SIXTY FIVE PREVENTS
TAXPAYERS FROM HAVING TO
SUBSIDIZE THE DECOMMISSIONING.
OF AN INVESTOR OWNED UTILITY.
AND ENSURES THE CONTINUATION OF
THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE
CAPABILITY.
THE COUNTIES OF ORANGE AND SAN
DIEGO TOGETHER WITH THE CITIES
OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO DANA
POINT IN SAN CLEMENTE.
WORK COLLABORATIVELY CREEK
COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE SENATE
FREE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION
TO ENSURE OUR COMMUNITY RECEIVES
THE BEST SERVICE AND HAS THE
HIGHEST LEVEL OF EMERGENCY
RESPONSE CAPABILITY.
REDUCING THIS COORDINATION OR
CAPABILITY IS NOT IN THE
INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY
[inaudible]
THANK YOU [inaudible]

JONATHAN CLAN BEHALF OF THE
COUNTY SAN DIEGO OF MY COLLEAGUE
FROM ORANGE COUNTY COVERED ALL
THE MAIN POINTS I JUST WANT TO
REINFORCE -- COUPLE THINGS THAT
THE RADIATION PROTECTION ACT IN
NINETEEN NINETY NINE REQUIRES
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PROVIDE
THESE COMMUNITY PLANNING AND
SERVICES TO HELP PROTECT OUR
CITIZENS IN THE CASE OF
EMERGENCY -- WITH THIS THE
COMMISSION PROCESS WE STILL HAVE
RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL IT'S GOING
TO BE ON SITE FOR AWHILE.
THERE ARE STILL CONCERNS WITHIN
OUR COMMUNITIES ARE ELECTED

CAPISTRANO DANA POINT -- TO
MAINTAIN FUNDING LEVELS THAT
REFLECT THE SCALE DOWN RISK WITH
SONGS.
YES HE IS ALWAYS BEEN COMMITTED
TO PROVIDING CONTINUED FUNDING
FOR OFF SITE LOCAL AGENCIES.
HOWEVER IF THE AS HE DOES
BELIEVE THAT THE LEVEL OF
FUNDING FOR OFFSET AGENCIES
SHOULD BE INFORMED BY THE LEVEL
OF RISK WHICH ALREADY IS GREATLY
REDUCED -- DUE TO THE NUCLEAR
REACTORS BEING PERMANENTLY DE
FUELED.
IN SIMPLE TERMS THIS MEANS IS
SONGS NO LONGER IS AT RISK OF A
NUCLEAR MELTDOWN FOR INSTANCE --
IN THE REACTORS.
IT'S FURTHER MILESTONES IN
DECOMMISSIONING OR ACHIEVED --
THE RISK IT SONGS WILL CONTINUE
TO STEP DOWN -- INTEL SONGS IS
FULLY DECOMMISSIONED.
ALREADY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ITSELF.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FEMA
THERE IN THIS YEAR OF MADE --
REDUCTIONS IN EMERGENCY STAFFING
TO ALIGN WITH THE WITH THE
REDUCE RISK AND AS PURSUANT TO
U. S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION REGULATIONS.
WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY
THE AUTHOR IN THE COMMITTEE HAS
GRANTED IS HERE TODAY -- TO

BETWEEN L. C. E. AND THE
AFFECTED PARTIES AND I'M SURE
THAT THEYARE GETTING CLOSE TO A
RESOLUTION US ALL ABOUT FINDING
OUR EQUALS RISK RISKY BECAUSE
FUNDING AND SO OF THE THIS WILL
HELP.
I THINK PUSH IT ALONG BECAUSE
THEY THEY NEEDED A LITTLE MORE --
ENERGY AND IN THEIR DISCUSSIONS
HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE
AWHILE AND THERE'S NO CONCLUSION
YET BUT I THINK WE'RE GETTING
CLOSE THANK YOU RIGHT RETREAT
THAT MUCH.
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE HERE
BESIDES ME.
SHOULD I JUST [inaudible]
GLAZER.
GOOD MORNING WOULD LIKE TO
PRESENT YOUR BILL WE'VE GOT TO
ITEM NUMBER THIRTEEN SB.
SEVEN SIX SEVEN MORNING MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MORNING.
LET ME CREATE SOME CONTEXT FOR
THIS SIDE THIS BILL.
I TO DISTRICT BILL FOR ME.
I HAVE IN MY DISTRICT IN OFF
HIGHWAY VEHICLE PARK.
NOTHING IN THE END THIS BILL
CHANGES THAT.
THEY ARE.
SPACE THAT -- MANY USED TO ENJOY
THAT ACTIVITY IF YOU LIKE IT
SOME PEOPLE LIKE IT SOME PEOPLE
DON'T.
NOTHING IN THIS BILL AFFECTS
THAT EXISTING PARK THERE ARE TOO
MANY IN THE STATE BUT I HAVE.
ONE THERE'S A EXPANSION PROPOSAL
TO THIS PARK.
REFERRED TO ASSESS Là.
THE PARKS DEPARTMENT BOUGHT THE
PROPERTY [inaudible]
A COUPLE [inaudible]
DECADES AGO -- AND THEY'VE BEEN
WORKING TO TRY TO CREATE AN
EXPANSION OF THAT PARK.
NOTHING IN THIS BILL CHANGES
THAT PROCESS.
THE LAND'S BEEN PURCHASED
THEY'RE GOING TO THE PROCESS OF
TRYING TO DEVELOP IT.
AND MY LEGISLATION DOESN'T
CHANGE THAT AT ALL.
BUT THIS LAND FOR THIS EXPANSION
HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT OPINIONS
ABOUT IT.
AT THE SENSITIVE PARCEL OF LAND
I'M GONNA HAVE SOME WONDERFUL
WITNESSES WILL TALK ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY.
ABOUT IT.
BUT WHAT THIS LEGISLATION DOES
AND WHAT IT ONLY DOES.
IS THAT IF THE PARKS DEPARTMENT
AND THE OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE
COMMISSION.
DECIDES THAT THIS EXPANSION AT
THIRD THAT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A
LONG LONG TIME IS IN LITIGATION
AFTER LITIGATION AFTER
LITIGATION IF THEY DECIDE.
THAT THIS IS NOT GONNA WORK WE
HAVE AN EXISTING PARK WE'RE NOT
GOING TO CHANGE THAT BUT THIS
EXPANSION IS TOO CONTROVERSIAL.
THIS LEGISLATION GIVES THEM THE
CHANCE TO HAVE A CHOICE TO TRY
TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK.
THAT'S IT.
GIVES THEM THE OPTION.
HI THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT I
RAN ON IN MY CAMPAIGN I TOOK NO
POSITION ON UNTIL I COULD
RESEARCH IT CAREFULLY AND
THOUGHTFULLY.
AND I DID.
ALONG WITH THIS FAMILY WOMAN
CATHERINE BAKER THE REPUBLICAN --
WHO USED TO REPRESENT THIS AREA?
AND AFTER ALL THAT WORK THAT WE
DID TO KEEP IT HERE FROM ALL
SIDES OF THE ISSUE WE CAME TO
THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE SHOULD
AT LEAST BE AN OPTION.
IF THIS LITIGATION AND THIS
CONTROVERSY'S GOING NO WHERE TO
HAVE AN OPTION TO GET THEIR
MONEY BACK INTO THE OFF HIGHWAY
FUND.
pTO ENHANCE THAT ACTIVITY IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE OR EVEN
NEARBY. SIXTEEN LEGISLATORS
SENATORS AND ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
JOIN WITH US LAST YEAR IN
ENCOURAGING THE PARKS DEPARTMENT
TO PURSUE THIS OPTION.
THEIR ANSWER IS WE CAN'T DO IT
LEGALLY WE NEED A BILL TO GIVE
US THAT RIGHT IF WE EVER CHOSE
TO HAVE THAT RIGHT AND THAT'S
WHAT'S -- BEFORE YOU.
YOU'RE GONNA HEAR FROM MY
WITNESSES ABOUT THE VALUE OF THE
LAND NEXT DOOR THIS BILL COULD
PROTECT.
BUT I WANT TO JUST ADDRESS THE
OPPOSITION CONCERNS THAT YOU'LL
ALSO HEAR IN A MOMENT.
THEY MAKE THE ASSERTION THAT
THIS LEGISLATION FORCES A SALE
FORCES NOT.
THIS BILL DOESN'T FORCE ANYTHING.
THE ONLY WAY THISBILL GOES INTO
OPERATION IT TO THE PARKS
DEPARTMENT AND THE OFF HIGHWAY.
VEHICLE COMMISSION WHICH IS MADE
UP OF ENTHUSIASTS FOR OFF
HIGHWAY SAY YOU KNOW WHAT.
IF WE CAN GET OUR MONEY BACK.
THAT MIGHT BE THE BEST COURSE
FOR TRYING.
TO ENCOURAGE THAT ACTIVITY IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE OR EVEN
NEARBY SO THAT MY FRIENDS IS
WHAT THIS BILL IS ABOUT. TO
DISTRICT BILL I HAVE SOME
WONDERFUL WITNESSES TALK ABOUT
THE ISSUE MORE AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION THANK YOU
SENATOR.
HI -- CATHERINE PHILLIPS WITH
SIERRA CLUB CALIFORNIA -- WE
HAVE ABOUT A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
THOUSAND MEMBERS STATEWIDE AND
THEY INCLUDE ACTIVE MEMBERS AND
VOLUNTEERS IN THE AREA WHERE
THIS PARK.
EXISTS IN WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING
FOR NEARLY TWENTY YEARS TO HAVE
IT PRESERVED AS A PARK A PASSIVE
PARK -- OUR LOCAL SIERRA CLUB
CHAPTER IS PART OF THE ALTAMONT.
LANDFILL OPEN SPACE COMMITTEE
THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPANDING
LOCAL OPEN SPACE MITIGATION
FUNDS IN THAT HAS OFFERED TO USE
ITS LOCAL FUNDS TO PURCHASE THE
ALAMEDA TESLA EXPANSION AREA --
WE CARE ABOUT THIS LAND SO MUCH
BECAUSE SIMPLY IT IS A STUNNING
BIODIVERSITY HOT SPOT THE MOIST
COAST RANGE MEETS THE NORTH EDGE
OF THE DRY SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY IN
JUST CREATES A VERY UNUSUAL.
HABITAT -- IT'S GENERALLY
DESCRIBED AS BLUE OAK WOODLAND
AND GRASSLAND BUT THAT DOESN'T
DO THE PLACE JUSTICE IT'S UNLIKE
OTHER WOODLANDS AND GRASSLANDS
IN THE REGION BECAUSE OF ITS
BIODIVERSITY RICHNESS BECAUSE IT
BRINGS TOGETHER ESSENTIALLY.
FIVE SORT OF ECO SYSTEMS.
AND ONE OF THOSE THE IT'S IT'S
DRAWN LEADING NATURALISTS FOR
MORE THAN A HUNDRED YEARS
INCLUDING -- JOHN ME OR WHO WAS
THE FOUNDER OF SIERRA CLUB AND
THE FATHER OF THE NATIONAL PARK
SYSTEM -- THE SCIENTISTS
CONSENSUS STATEMENT ON
ECOLOGICAL VALUE OF THE ALAMEDA
TESLA EXPANSIONARY WAS SIGNED BY
FORTY FIVE SCIENTISTS INCLUDING.
LEADING PROFESSORS FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES --
IT HAS FORTY TWO SPECIAL STATUS
WILDLIFE SPECIES INCLUDING EIGHT
FEDERALLY OR STATE LISTED IN
CANDIDATES SPECIES.
AND I COULD GO ON WITH LOTS OF
DETAILS ABOUT THE ECOLOGICAL AND
NATURAL RESOURCE VALUE -- BUT
SUFFICE IT TO SAY IT'S A VERY
SPECIAL PLACE AND THIS BILL
FOCUSES ON A SPECIFIC LOCAL
ISSUE AS THE AUTHOR NOTED.
THAT WILL PROVIDE BOTH OF WHY
HE'S OF USE OF OF A RESOLUTION
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND WILL BE
FAIR TO STATE PARKS AND TO THE
DIVISION.
OF OFF HIGHWAY MOTOR VEHICLE
RECREATION -- BUT IT HAS
STATEWIDE IMPORTANCE BECAUSE
AGAIN THIS PLACE IS -- IS A AN
ECOLOGICALLY VALUABLE PLACE THAT
AGAIN HAS BEEN THE SOURCE OR THE
THE SUBJECT OF LOTS OF STUDY FOR
GENERATIONS -- THIS AREA JUST
SCREAMS FOR GOOD RESPONSIBLE
STEWARDSHIP AND THE BACK THIS
BILL WILL OPEN A PATHWAY TO
PROVIDE THAT KIND OF STEWARDSHIP
THAT IT WARRANTS SO I URGE THAT
YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL.
THANK YOU.
NEXT WITNESS.
MORNING MY NAME IS NANCY
RHETORIC I'M FROM LIVERMORE.
AND I'VE BEEN A MEMBER OF
FRIENDS ATTESA PARK AND I HAVE
BEEN FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS --
I'M VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT
PRESERVING THIS LAND BECAUSE
I'VE ACTUALLY HIKES ON IT.
SO AND THAT'S HOW I GOT INVOLVED --
I'D LIKE TO ADDRESS SOME OTHER
ITEMS -- THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
BY THE O. H. P. DIVISION. SIX SO --
SB SIX SEVEN SIX SEVEN IS A
LOCAL MEASURE.
ALL OF THE ALAMEDA TESLA
EXPANSION AREA IS LOCATED IN
ALAMEDA COUNTY.
THERE'S OVERWHELMING LOCAL
SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL. SIX
PUBLIC AGENCIES INCLUDING THE
COUNTY OF ALAMEDA AND AT THE
CITY OF LIVERMORE.
ARE SUPPORTING THIS BILL.
THE LOCAL OPEN SPACE FUND HAS
OFFERED THE MONEY FOR THE
PURCHASE OF TESLA.
SENATE BILL SIX SEVEN SIX SEVEN
DOES NOT TAKE AWAY ANY OF THE
EXISTING CARNEGIE ALWAYS BE
WRITING AREAS.
STATE PARKS DID NOT COMPLETE AN
ACQUISITION E. I. R. PRIOR TO
THE PURCHASE OF THE EXPANSION
AREA.
SO PUBLIC NOTICE DID NOT OCCUR
UNTIL AFTER THE LAND WAS ALREADY
PURCHASED IN.
TWO THOUSAND SB TWO FORTY NINE
LAST YEAR DID NOT ADDRESS TESLA.
PRESERVATION.
BUT IF TWO FOR TWO FOR FOUR NINE
WERE FOLLOWED TUSSLE WOULD NEVER
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED -- FOR EACH
P. RECREATION.
ALMOST THE ENTIRE AREA WE SHOULD
INSTEAD BE DESIGNATED AS A
SENSITIVE AREA AND PROTECTED BY
STATUTE.
THE EXPANSION AREA IN THE
PROPOSED VOICE HM VIS OUR PLAN
IS ONLY DESIGNATED AS A
MOTORIZED VEHICLE PARK LIKE
CARNEGIE.
NONE OF THE EXPANSION AREA IS
PROTECTED AS A DEFINED SENSITIVE
AREA. SEVEN SIX SEVEN DOES NOT
ESTABLISH ANY STATE WHY
PRESIDENT BUT RATHER IT
ADDRESSES THE SPECIFIC LOCAL
ISSUE WITH THE UNIQUE HISTORY.
WE'D LIKE TO THANK SENATOR

SPONSORS. FOR SEEKING A PATH TO
RESOLVE THIS TWENTY YEAR LOCAL

MORNING.
BUT TERRY MCHALE WITH THEIR IN
READING ASSOCIATES REPRESENT A
CONSORTIUM OF OHB.
ASSOCIATIONS INCLUDING A IN A
THIRTY SIX AND THIRTY SEVEN AND
AMERICAN SAND ASSOCIATION.
WE WERE OPPOSED TO THE BILL LAST
YEAR WERE OPPOSED TO THE BILL
THIS YEAR.
THE DIFFERENCE HOWEVER IS WE DO
APPRECIATE SENATOR GLAZER DID
MAKE THE PRICING OF LAST YEAR'S
BILL THE FLOOR INSTEAD OF THE
CEILING -- AND SECOND OF ALL WE
APPRECIATE THAT HIS OFFICE IS
BEEN OPEN.
AND WILLING TO DISCUSS SOME KIND
OF SOLUTION.
I'VE LEARNED WITH -- HP THAT
DOING AWAY TO BE ISSUES IS
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN DOING THE DOG
CHASING THE BEAR UP THE TREE AND
VACCINATIONS.
I MEAN IT'S VERY VERY DIFFICULT
BECAUSE FULLER ARE SO POLARIZED
ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE.
MY CONCERN WITH THIS BILL BOILS
DOWN TO THIS [inaudible]
NOBODY.
WHO KNOWS SENATOR GLAZER WOULD
BELIEVE THAT HE DOES A BILL THAT
DOESN'T DO SOMETHING OF
SUBSTANCE?
HE'S A QUALITY LEGISLATOR WHO
DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THIS
CONSTITUENTS AND IT'S REFLECTED
IN THE ARTICLE THAT COMES OUT
AFTER THE LAST BILL IN WHICH THE
HEADLINE SAYS.
TESLA PARK SALE APPROVED BY
STATE SENATE COMMITTEE SB SEVEN
SIXTY SEVEN A MEASURE THAT WOULD
ALLOW THE STATE TO SELL CARNEGIE
STATE VEHICULAR RECREATION AREA.
FOR CONSERVATION PURPOSES
CLEARED ITS FIRST HEARING.
AND FUNDAMENTALLY THAT'S THE
PROBLEM WITH THE BILL THE BILL
ITSELF.
I AGREE WE NEED A SOLUTION.
WE NEED A SOLUTION BECAUSE IT'S
GONE ON TOO LONG.
HOWEVER THE BILL ONLY GIVES ONE
SOLUTION IT'S SORT OF LIKE THE
JUDGE ROY BEAN THING YOU KNOW
WE'RE GONNA DO A HEARING ON EACH
OF FAIR HEARING ON A WAY TO BE
AND THEN WE'RE GONNA GET RID OF
IT.
THE BILL DOESN'T SAY WHAT
HAPPENS IF WE DO THESE HEARINGS
AND IT TURNS OUT.
THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DID
EVERYTHING CORRECTLY.
THIS IS NOT STE LOCAL THIS IS
NOT A LOCAL ISSUE THIS IS AN
AREA IN WHICH MOTORCYCLES WERE
WRITTEN ON IT.
THIS IS AN AREA IN WHICH STATE
PARKS DID PUBLIC HEARINGS.
THIS IS AN ISSUE WHICH THE STATE
PARKS DID EVERYTHING THEY WERE
SUPPOSED TO DO TO REACH THE
POINT WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.
AND WHAT IF IT TURNS OUT THEY
DID DO EVERYTHING CORRECTLY THEN
THE BILL SHOULD SAY THAT WE WILL
EXPEDITE THE USE OF THIS
PROPERTY -- FOR HD PURPOSES OF
CLOSE BY SAYING THERE TO MORE
THAN TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY PARKS.
OF STATE PARKS IN CALIFORNIA
ONLY EIGHT OF THEM.
DEAL WITH OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLE
RECREATION.
THIS IS AN AREA IN WHICH EVEN
THOSE WHO STAND UP IN OPPOSITION
WERE APPROACHED AND WERE GIVEN
THE ABILITY TO SPEAK ON THIS
ISSUE IN THE PARKS DECIDED.
IT WAS A GOOD IDEA SO I WOULD
ASK THAT YOU PLEASE REJECT THIS
BILL THANK YOU MR CALE NEXT
SPEAKER [inaudible]
OPPOSITION.

STAYED ON PROPERTY OR COUNTY ON

VISIBLE WAY LOW YET -- NO WE'RE
GOING TO LET CENTER GLAZER
FINISH AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH --
AND VOTE ON SOME OF THESE.
THOUGH. FOR THE MOST PART IT'S
PADLOCKED AREA OR IT'S NOT IT'S
NOT EVEN IT'S NOT ALLOWABLE EVEN
PASSIVE OPEN SPACE LEGALLY.
IT'S IN THE POSSESSION OF STATE
PARKS THEY DON'T HAVE ANY
OFFICIAL PUBLIC ENTRY ON IT --
TODAY -- THAT I'M AWARE OF TO BE
THROUGH IT ALL YOU'RE SEEKING TO
DO IS.
GIVE THE STATE PARK THE RIGHT
THE STATE PARK SYSTEM THE RIGHT
TO DO.
WITH THAT AS A FEEL IS THE BEST
A LOOK INTERESTED IN ADVANCING A
PLAN TO EXPAND THE OFFER HIGHWAY
VEHICLE AREA IF THEY DECIDE THEY
DON'T WANT TO ADVANCE THOSE
PLANS ANY FURTHER.
THEN IT GIVES THEM AN OPTION TO
SELL IT AND GET ALL THE MONEY
BACK THAT'S ALL IT DOES.
THEY COULD THEY ALSO DECIDED
JUST MAKE IT A REGULAR STATE
PARK OR A OR IS THAT THEY COULD
DO -- WELL THIS BILL ONLY DEALS
WITH THE ISSUE OF SELLING IT AS
SURPLUS PROPERTY WHATEVER THE
CURRENT LAW OR CODE ALLOWS THE
DEPARTMENT TO DO -- IF THEY
CHOOSE TO HOLD ON TO IT IT WOULD
WOULD STILL BE IN PLACE IN WOULD
BE AFFECTED BY THIS BILL WHO ARE
THE RESTRICTIONS TO THE KIND OF
THE FOLKS THEY COULD SELL IT TO
A SURPLUS PROPERTY -- THERE
THERE'S THERE'S CODE THERE'S
LOTS A IN REGARD TO THAT.
AND THAT'S WHY THE BILL IS HERE
BECAUSE WHEN. SIXTEEN
LEGISLATORS ALL LAST THE PARKS
DEPARTMENT CONSIDER THE SALE
THEY SAID WE DON'T EVEN HAVE THE
LAWFUL RIGHT ONE OF MY QUESTIONS
I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF ROOM IN
THE FOLKS HERE IN SUPPORT.
MEAN ISN'T THERE A CONCERN THAT
IF IT WERE TO BE SOLD OFF --
AMANDA AND I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH
ABOUT THE RULES BUT THAT --
HERE'S THIS.
PORTION OF OPEN SPACE -- AND IT
COULD BE USED FOR DEVELOPMENT OR
OR OTHER -- USES THAT MAY BE OF
CONCERN.
GIVEN THE FACT IT'S ONE OF THE
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AREA OF A SPACE
IN THE AND YOUR PORTION.
OF THE BAY AREA I DON'T KNOW OF
ANY OTHER PLANS THAT THEY HAVE
AT THE MOMENT SO I DON'T WANT TO
SPECULATE ON IT EXCEPT THAT
WHATEVER THE CURRENT LAW WOULD
PROVIDE IN THAT REGARD WOULD BE
CHANGED BY THIS BILL SIMPLY SAYS
THAT IF THE CHOICE WOULD BE.
TO SELL IT FOR CONSERVATION%
PURPOSES THIS BILL WOULD GIVE
THEM THAT THAT RIGHT.
CENTER I I DO HAVE -- THE
DEPARTMENT THE YOUR FROM THE
BILL.
THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL
SERVICES SHALL SELL THE LAND
ONLY TO A LOCAL AGENCY OR
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION FOR USE
AS A PARK OR OTHER OPEN SPACE
PURPOSES OKAY LAND SHOULD BE
SOLD FOR NO LESS THAN THE
ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE NO LESS.
THAN THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE PRICE
BASED ON THE ACTUAL PARCELS TO
BE INCLUDED THE SALE THAT THAT'S
BASED ON THE PASSAGE OF THIS
BILL THANK YOU ARE ALSO ASKING
ABOUT UNDER EXISTING LOT TODAY
IF THEY CHOSE NOT TO EVEN
WITHOUT THIS BILL WHAT RIGHTS TO
THEY HAPPENED I I CAN'T.
SPEAK TO THAT EXCEPT THIS
DOESN'T CHANGE IT OKAY THAT'S
VERY HELPFUL OUT SO SO BASICALLY
THEY THEY HAVE A PROCEDURE THAT.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THEY HAVE
INTERNALLY ABOUT THE WAY THEY
DISPOSE OF THEIR LAND OUR USUAL
AS THEIR LAND OR A YOU KNOW TURN
IT INTO A AS WE ARE A AND AND
THIS JUST THIS GIVES THEM MORE
FLEXIBILITY.
SIMPLY GETS IN THE OPTION IF
THEY DECIDE NOT TO GO FORWARD
WITH THEIR PLANS TO EXPAND THE
PARK.
GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SELL IT FOR OPEN SPACE FOR
PURPOSES AND IT WOULDN'T IMPACT
THE CURRENT.
RECREATIONAL USE.
THAT'S HAPPENING NOW AS I SAID
THE EXISTING OFF HIGHWAY PARK
ISN'T TO AFFECT IT AT ALL BY
THIS BILL.
AND THIS BILL DOES ENFORCE
ANYTHING JUST GIVE THEM AN
OPTION OKAY [inaudible]
THANK YOU.

OTHER SIMILAR REPORTS ARE ALSO
PREPARED.
THE PEOPLE GETTING EFFORTS AND

I. X. B. R. L. WOULD REQUIRE

ADOPTING AYE XBRL IS THE GOAL OF

STARTS THE RESEARCH PROCESS FOR

IN LINE EXTENSIBLE BUSINESS
REPORTING LANGUAGE IS AN OPEN

IT UTILIZES A DIGITAL DICTIONARY

YOU CAN ALSO COMPARE CAPPERS
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL

THIS SUFFICIENT MONEY SAVING
TECHNOLOGY IS ALREADY IN USE
AROUND THE GLOBE.
IN THE U. S. THE SEC REQUIRES AT

CHAIRMAN AND THANK YOU THE
COMMITTEE FOR ALLOWING ME TO
SPEAK HERE TODAY ON SB.
FIVE NINETY EIGHT THE DECISION
TO FORM A COMMITTEE TO EXPLORE
THE XP ARE ALL STANDARDS FOR THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
I MYSELF AM ACTIVE IN THE
FINANCIAL MARKETS AND I PROVIDE
INFO A CREDIT. TO VARIOUS
ENTITIES AND I RELY ON THEIR
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND WE
CURRENTLY USE THE XP ARE ALL FOR
ALL PUBLICLY TRADED COMPANIES.
OUR UNDERWRITERS CAN IMPORT THAT
INFORMATION AND SO IT'S ALREADY
AVAILABLE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR
AND IS ALREADY BEING USED.
I AM ALSO INVOLVED IN AN EFFORT
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY TO
EXPAND THE TAXONOMY TO INCLUDE
THE DATA FIELDS NECESSARY FOR
BUILDING ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
AND RECENTLY EXPANDED THE
TAXONOMY BY OVER FIVE THOUSAND
DATA ELEMENTS. TO BRING IN THE
FINANCIAL MARKETS TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE FINANCING AND WHATNOT TO
MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.
MANY OF WHICH WILL BE FUNDED BY
MUNICIPAL BONDS WERE BY GREEN
BOND FUNDS. THIRTY IS A
FINANCIAL GUARANTEE WE LIVE ON
THE INFORMATION WE RECEIVE THE
BETTER THE INFORMATION WE
RECEIVE A MORE ACCURATE IT IS
THE BETTER WE CAN DO OUR JOBS.
SO PROVIDING THE DIGITAL
INFORMATION AS A SENATORS
MENTIONED ALLOWS FOR THAT
CAPABILITY.
AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THAT
HAS GOING TO HAVE A MAJOR
FINANCIAL IMPACT TOWARDS
EFFICIENCY.
THE CASF REPORTING ALSO
GENERATES.
A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF
CONSISTENT DATA ELEMENTS THAT
WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE TO THE
FINANCIAL MARKETS.
AND THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO
THE NEW EMERGING FAN TEX
CONSTRUCTED SURE TECH AND ALL
THE VARIOUS NEW TECHNOLOGIES
THAT ARE BEING DEVELOPED.
THOSE NEW TOOLS AND RESOURCES
WILL HAVE ALSO SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT.
DATE INTERRUPT ABILITY TO THE
PUBLIC AGENCIES AND THE PRIVATE
INDUSTRY IS GOING TO BE A BIG
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AS WELL.
AND WHILE THERE ARE MANY
DIFFERING VIEWS ON ALL SORTS OF
DIFFERENT PRIORITY POLICIES.
I WOULD SUGGEST TO YOU THAT
THERE IS A CONSISTENT VIEW THAT
EFFICIENCY IS IMPORTANT FOR OUR
STATE.
AND I RECOMMEND THAT YOU.
SUPPORT SB FIVE NINETY EIGHT AND
ALLOW THAT EFFICIENCY TO TAKE
HOLD IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WHICH LEADS THE NATION.

A BIG BIG DEAL OKAY SO THIS BILL
SB -- THREE ESTABLISHES THE
OFFICE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
COORDINATION ACCOUNTABILITY

AND IS THE DRESS IS A GAP THAT
WE'VE HAD AS A POLICY MATTER FOR
SOMETIME -- AND THIS OFFICE WILL
ARTICULATE STATE GOALS CORNEIL
BETWEEN HIGHER EDUCATION

AND IT SERVE THE STATE VERY WELL
BUT ULTIMATELY -- GOVERNOR BROWN
I THINK LOST FAITH.
IN THE IN THE COMMISSION AND IN
PARTICULAR IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
DOWNTURN ALL THE BUDGET CUTS
THAT WERE HAPPENING.
AT THE TIME.
HI HE ULTIMATELY GOVERNOR BROWN --
ZEROED OUT FUNDING FOR C. PACK --

OUGHTA REESTABLISHING DEPEND
OVERSIGHT BODY FOR HIGHER

BE A GREAT OFFICE THAT WILL HAVE
INDEPENDENT POLICY
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WILL BE
MADE TO THE LEGISLATURE AND THE
GOVERNOR PROVIDE A VISION. TO

INTERIM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
CALIFORNIA COMPETES HIGHER
EDUCATION FOR A STRONG ECONOMY.
WE ARE AN INDEPENDENT
NONPARTISAN NONPROFIT PROJECT
THAT HAS LONG SUPPORTED GREATER
OVERSIGHT AND COORDINATION IN
HIGHER EDUCATION TO PROMOTE
STUDENT SUCCESS.
I'M HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF
SENATE BILL THREE THE STATE
FACES CRITICAL POSTSECONDARY
CHALLENGES INCLUDING RISING
COSTS CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS AN
INEQUITABLE OUTCOMES.
NO SEGMENT OR GOVERNING BODY IS
CHARGED WITH ADDRESSING THESE
CHALLENGES IN WHOLE.
NOW MORE THAN ANY OTHER TIME
SINCE THE MASTER PLAN FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION WAS CHARTERED THE
STATE NEEDS EXPERT LEADERSHIP TO
SUPPORT EQUITABLE COLLEGE ACCESS
AND COMPLETION FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS.
WHILE THE SEGMENTS HAVE MADE
IMPORTANT EFFORTS TO ADDRESS
CHALLENGES AND HIGHER EDUCATION
SUCH AS AFFORDABILITY.
ACCESS TIME TO DEGREE
FUNDAMENTALLY THESE ARE
STATEWIDE PROBLEMS THAT
TRANSCEND ANY ONE INSTITUTION OR
SEGMENT AND THEY REQUIRE
SYSTEMIC SOLUTIONS.
THE OFFICE ESTABLISHED BY SB
THREE COULD TAKE A STATE WIE
APPROACH TO ADDRESSING ISSUES
SUCH AS INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY
AND SUPPORTING CROSS SECTOR
INITIATIVES SUCH AS DUAL
ENROLLMENT IN TRANSFER PROGRAMS.
SPECIFICALLY SB THREE CREATED
INFRASTRUCTURE TO DEVELOP
STATEWIDE HIGHER EDUCATION GOALS
TO OVERSEE INTER AGENCY EFFORTS
AND TO PROMOTE EVIDENCE BASED
POLICY MAKING BY USING DATA.
ACROSS EDUCATION AND WORK FOR
CENTER IS FURTHER SB THREE
CAREFULLY THINGS THROUGH THE
APPROPRIATE ROLES OF KEY STAKE
HOLDERS CREATING ADVISORY BOARD
WITH STUDENT AND SEGMENT
REPRESENTATIVES.
THESE FUNCTIONS WILL IMPROVE
OUTCOMES ACROSS DIVERSE REGIONS
AND DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATIONS
CALIFORNIA'S HIGHER EDUCATION
SYSTEM REQUIRES COORDINATED
LEADERSHIP AND DATA DRIVEN
DECISION MAKING.
THAT CENTERS ON THE NEEDS OF
STUDENTS AND FOR THESE REASONS
WE STRONGLY SUPPORT SB THREE
THANK YOU.
A GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEES THERE
ARE SEE DIRECTOR OF POLICY NOW
ADVOCACY WITH THE CAMPAIGN FOR
COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY.
A STATEWIDE POLICY AND ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION DEDICATED TO
ENSURING THAT ALL CALIFORNIANS
HAVE AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO
ATTEND AND SUCCEED IN COLLEGE.
I'D LIKE TO THINK SENATORS ALLEN
IN GLACIER FOR THE LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ISSUE EXPRESS OUR STRONG
SUPPORT FOR SB.
THREE WE KNOW THAT IN THE COMING
YEARS THE STATE WILL NEED A
GROWING SUPPLY OF EDUCATED
WORKERS TO MEET THE DEMANDS OF
AYE DYNAMICS -- STATE ECONOMY
AND THAT KEY TO FOR FILLING THIS
NEED WILL BE ENSURING THE ACCESS
AND SUCCESS OF THOSE POPULATIONS
THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN
UNDER REPRESENTED IN HIGHER
EDUCATION.
YET CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY STANDS
AS ONLY ONE OF TWO STATES
WITHOUT A STATEWIDE COORDINATING
BODY FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
MEANING WE LACKED THE STATE
LEVEL LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE PLANNING OVERSIGHT AND
COORDINATION THAT POSITIONS THE
STATE TO MEET THESE CALLENGES.
A BODY THAT IS NOT
REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY ONE SECTOR
SEGMENT BUT RATHER UNDERSTANDS
THE BROADER NEEDS OF THE STATE
AND CAN FACILITATE THE NECESSARY
CONVERSATIONS.
ANALYSIS AND EXPERTISE TOWARDS
THESE GOALS.
SB THREE RECOGNIZES THIS
CRITICAL VOID AND ESTABLISH A
STATE LEADERSHIP POSITION TO
CONFRONT THESE CHALLENGES AND
FOR THOSE REASONS.
WE SUPPORT THE BILL AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I WILL.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES

IN THE WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
SEE NONE TURN BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE [inaudible]
CENTER NIELSEN.
IF I MAY ASK A CENTER ALLEN THE
MASTER PLAN OF HIGHER ED WAS.
MENTIONED.
AND IT WAS FIRST PASSED IN THE
SIXTIES AND THROUGH THE EIGHTIES
WE REVIEWED THE MASTER PLAN.
THAT WAS A THREE YEAR EFFORT BY
A BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION AND A
JOINT LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE -- I
WORKED WITH SENATOR VASCONCELOS.
AND THE MISSION GOALS IN IN
RELATIONSHIPS OF THE THREE
LEVELS OF HIGHER EDUCATION WERE.
I GUESS I WOULD SAY CONTEMPORARY
RISE DOOR MADE MORE CLEAR BY
VIRTUE OF THAT REVIEW.
NOW AND CREATING THIS ENTITY.
WILL THIS IN ANY LANGUAGE IN THE
BILL REQUIRE THEM TO BE GUIDED
BY THE MASTER PLAN IN PLACE SO
THAT THEY CAN'T JUST GO REINVENT
THE MASTER PLAN ON THEIR OWN.
THAT THAT SHOULD BE THE PURVIEW
OF THE LEGISLATURE SOLELY.
THERE ARE I WOULD CONSIDER AS
YOU MOVE ALONG SOME LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD MAKE IT EXPRESS
[inaudible]
THAT.
TO GUIDED BY THE MASTER PLAN ARE.
NO WITH THERE'S NO ON SPECIFIC
LANGUAGE ABOUT THE MASTER PLAN
YEAH IN THE BILL BUT I I
CERTAINLY WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK
IN THE OFFICE THAT THAT'S NOT
IT'S NOT THE IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY
THE INTENT OF THE BILL. TO FIVE
TO TO FILL THE THE PROMISE THE
MASTER PLAN I MEAN AND AND I I
THE REASON WHY MATCH THE MASTER
PLAN IT'S ACTUALLY MENTIONED.
IN YOUR ANALYSIS ON PAGE FIVE IT
TALKS ABOUT HOW -- HOW THE
MASTER PLAN CREATED SEE BACK AS

ADD ON TO THIS IMPORTANT BILL.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
NOW WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM
THREE SB.
THREE FIFTY TWO I BELIEVE THE
RECOMMENDATION IS TO PASS TO
APPROPRIATIONS.
SO WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
AARON MEMBERS SB THREE RIGHT
THREE FIVE TWO WOULD ALLOW THE
DEPARTMENT OF A..
ALCOHOL BEVERAGE
COMMISSION TO ISSUE UP. TO TEN
NEW TYPE FORTY SEVEN LICENSES IN
THOSE COUNTIES THAT HAVE REACHED
THE CURRENT LIMIT OF ALCOHOL
LICENSES.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW CURRENT LAW
PLACES A LIMIT ON THE NUMBER OF
ON SALE GENERAL LICENSES. TO
WHAT LICENSE FOR EVERY TWO
THOUSAND RESIDENTS IN THAT
COUNTY.
WELL THIS SYSTEM CERTAINLY WORKS
FOR MOST THERE ARE A LARGE
NUMBER OF COUNTIES WHERE THE
DEMAND -- FOR LICENSES FAR
OUTWEIGHS THE CURRENT NUMBER.
HE NAPA COUNTY FOR INSTANCE THE
POPULATION IS LOW THAT'S THE
NUMBER OF LICENSED IS AS WELL
HOWEVER BECAUSE OF TOURISM IN
THE DEMAND FOR RESTAURANTS.
WHO SERVE ALCOHOL IS MUCH HIGHER --
THIS IS IMPORTANT HE INDIVIDUALS
HOPING TO OPEN A RESTAURANT IN
THOSE COUNTIES ARE FORCED TO GO
TO THE OPEN MARKET.
WE'RE LICENSES CAN COST UPWARDS
OF FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.
IN OBSTACLE THAT MANY CANNOT
OVERCOME.
THIS RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
REVENUES TO OUR CITIES IN OUR
STATE NOT TO MENTION A LOTS OF
JOBS FOR COMMUNITIES.
AS EMAIL SUSPENSIONS THE THIS
BILL ONLY APPLIES TO TYPE FORTY
SEVEN LICENSES WHICH ARE MORE
COMMONLY USED TO OPEN
RESTAURANTS.
LICENSES FROM BEING SOLD FOR
MORE THAN THEY ARE PURCHASED --
PURCHASED WHICH SHOULD DIMINISH --
THE IMPACT ON CURRENT LICENSES
MEMBERS AT A TIME MORE DEMAND
FOR RESTAURANTS IS AN ALL TIME
HIGH IT IS TIME FOR US TO RE
EVALUATE HOW THE STATE ISSUES
THESE LICENSES.
I BELIEVE THIS BILL IS A STEP
FORWARD IN THAT DIRECTION I ASK
YOUR AYE VOTE.
HERE WITH ME TODAY IS PAT CHOICE
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS PAT
CHOICE I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATIONS REPRESENTING
APPROXIMATELY -- TWENTY TWO
HUNDRED EATING ESTABLISHMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
I'M PLEASED TO SUPPORT SB THREE
FIFTY TWO A WELL BOUNCE MEASURE
THAT WOULD PERMIT NO MORE THAN
TEN OR TEN NEW ORIGINAL ON STILL
GENERAL LICENSES PER YEAR FOR
RESTAURANTS AND COUNTIES THAT
HAVE REACHED.
THE LIMIT ON ON SALE JOURNAL
LICENSES -- WHY THE NEED FOR THE
BILL?
THE DEMAND FOR ON SALE OUT THE
WHOLE LICENSES HAS EXCEEDED THE
CAP ON SUCH LICENSES MANY
POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATIONS
SUCH AS SAN FRANCISCO NAPA A LOS
ANGELES ORANGE COUNTY IN SAN
DIEGO.
RESULTED IN EXPENSIVE ONLINE --
ON SALE LICE'S CREATE A BARRIER
OF ENTRY. FOR SOMEONE TRYING TO
OPEN A NEW RESTAURANT.
THE BARRIER TO ENTRY SLOWS DOWN
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND JOB CREATION
LOCAL ECONOMIES.
SB THREE FIFTY TWO ADDRESSES
THIS ISSUE BY ALLOWING FOR A
LIMITED NUMBER OF NEW ORIGINAL
ON SALE LICENSES PER YEAR FOR
BONAFIDE EATING PLACES ONLY.
SO THEY CAN ONLY BE USED TO OPEN
UP.
A NEW RESTAURANTS.
LOCAL COMMUNITIES WILL BENEFIT
FROM THE RESTAURANT ELEMENT.
THE EMPLOYEES THAT COME WITH
THAT INVESTMENT AND THE
ASSOCIATED SALES TAX DOLLARS
THAT WILL BE GENERATED FROM
THESE LOCATIONS LIKE TO THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
ON THIS ISSUE.
WHICH WILL STIMULATE LOCAL
ECONOMIC GROWTH LIMIT THE NUMBER
OF NEW LICENSES WITHIN A GIVEN
COUNTY.
AND HELP FOSTER SYSTEM OF OF
INCENTIVES THAT ACTUALLY.
USE THESE LICENSES FOR THESE
REASONS AND OTHER REASONS WE ASK
FOR YOUR RIVAL THANK YOU.
GREAT THANK YOU GOT ANY OTHERS
IN SUPPORT. THREE NINE IN IN
OPPOSITION.
SEEING THEM PULL BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE SENATOR GORGEOUS.
THANK YOU CHAIRMAN --TURNED OUT
CAN YOU EXPLAIN A BIT FURTHER ON
THE DYNAMIC OF A THESE LICENSES --
ESCALATE IN PRICE AND CREATE
THIS KIND OF BIZARRE MARKET FOR
FOR THEM HE'S GOING TO GO ON A
BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.
YEAH SURE A BABY IS CLEARLY JUST
A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUE --
PEOPLE NEED ALCOHOL LICENSES IF
THEY'RE GOING TO OPERATE A
RESTAURANT PARTICULARLY IN THE
HEAVILY TOURIST AREA OR
YELLOWING IN JUST IN THE
CULINARY.
HIGHER QUALITY OR ACTUALLY ANY
CULINARY EVEN AT SO YOU HAVE
VERY FEW LICENSES HIGH DEMAND
THE PRICES PRICE JUST GOES UP
AND IT IS GONE UP AND UP AND UP.
YOU OVER THE YEARS -- MA'AM
WE'VE TRIED TO BAD DATE
APPROACHES ONE OF THEM WOULD BE
A TYPE SEVENTY FIVE LICENSE
PEOPLE BREWING BEER BUT WE FOUND
OUT CENTER BRADFORD HAD A BILL
LAST YEAR.
WE FOUND OUT THAT -- YOU KNOW
PEOPLE WERE JUST.
YEAH BREWING BEER TO GET THE
ALCOHOL LICENSE AND IT JUST IT
REALLY WASN'T WORKING AND WE
WERE HAVING.
IF FOR SOME ISSUES THERE AND SO
THIS SEEM TO BE THE BEST STEP
FORWARD. ONE DEFINITELY
SUPPORTIVE I THINK ANYTHING THAT
WE CAN DO TO HELP OUT THE THE
RESTAURANT INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY
WHEN THERE'S A FOOD COMPONENT --
IN PRINCIPALLY THESE ARE
RESTAURANTS THAT ARE SERVING
ALCOHOL NOT BARS -- ABSOLUTELY
HELPED INDUSTRIES OUT.
VITAL COMPONENT OF OUR ECONOMY.

HEY MISTER -- MR MEMBERS.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT THE FUTURE OF
WORK IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA --
WE HEAR A LOT ABOUT [inaudible]
ROBOTICS AUTOMATION THREATS TO
THE WORK FORCE CHANGES IN THE
WORKPLACE -- BUT AT THIS POINT
B. ANALYSIS DRIVE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA STRATEGY IS
BORROWED NATIONAL IN SCOPE LACKS
REGIONAL GRANULARITY WE TRULY
DON'T KNOW.
WHAT THE RISKS REALLY ARE -- WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
OPPORTUNITIES ARE -- AND AT THIS
POINT IS A LOT OF CONJECTURE
DRIVING BOTH OUR WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT.
AGENDA -- WHEN IT COMES TO
AUTOMATION AS WELL AS OUR OUR
FUTURE PLANNING FOR THIS EONOMY
THIS BILL IS HOPEFULLY DESIGNED
TO GET AHEAD OF THAT THE
GOVERNOR ANNOUNCED HIS FUTURE
WORK COMMISSION -- IN HIS STATE
OF THE STATE AND THIS BILL WOULD
PUT.
A LEGISLATIVE BATCHES
CODIFICATION BUT LEGISLATIVE
VOICE INTO THAT COMMISSION TO
MAKE SURE NOT ONLY THAT WERE
INFORMED BY THE ANALYSES BUT
THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY DRIVE THE
PROCESS -- AS WELL I IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GOVERNOR --
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS I MEAN WE ARE WE KNOW
SOME OF THE STATISTICS 50% I
THINK OF THE WORK FORCE
MACKENZIE ESTIMATES IS
SUSCEPTIBLE THE AUTOMATION OVER.
THE NEXT PERIOD OF TIME -- 5% OF
OCCUPATIONS COULD BE FULLY
AUTOMATED BY EXISTING
TECHNOLOGIES ACCORDING TO
MACKENZIE BUT AGAIN WE DO NOT
WANT FEAR OR DOUBT TO DRY THIS
AUTOMATION CONVERSATION WE WANT
NUMBERS AND DATA TO DRIVE THIS
STATE AND SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE
BEHIND THIS BILL WITH THAT
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AYE VOTE.
AND LOOK FOR ANY QUESTIONS YOU
MIGHT HAVE.
OKAY I'M SORRY I'M HERE WITH
MATT HORTON ON BEHALF OF THE
MILKEN NSTITUTE IT WAS DID BEEN
DOING A LOT OF VERY IMPORTANT
HOUSES SOME IT'S CENTER.
ALL UP THANK YOU CENTERS ARE
MEMBERS.
SHARE COME UP AS CENTER SAID ON
MATT HORTON I AM REPRESENTING
THE MILKEN INSTITUTE CENTER FOR
REGIONAL ECONOMICS.
THE MILKEN INSTITUTE IS A
NONPROFIT NONPARTISAN ECONOMIC
POLICY THINK TANK.
AND IN OUR WORK IN IN TERMS OF
LOOKING AT THE FUTURE OF WORK --
IN PREPARING CALIFORNIA FOR THE
FUTURE WORK WE BELIEVE IT IS
CRUCIAL THAT WE LEVERAGE
EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS INCREASE
NEW LINKS BETWEEN INDUSTRY AND
EDUCATION LEADERS.
THESE CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE THE
FOCUS ON CULTIVATING A PIPELINE
THAT SUPPORTS NIBBLE UPSCALING
PROGRAMS FOR WORKERS AT
DIFFERENT STAGES OF THEIR
CAREERS AND FOR VARIOUS INDUSTRY
NEEDS.
A COMMON THEME RESIN FOR MORE
WORK HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR
WORKERS TO BE QUIPPED WITH THE
SKILLS THAT ARE COMPLEMENTARY TO
TECHNOLOGY SUCH AS COMPUTER
LITERACY -- AS WELL AS
TRADITIONAL SKILLS AND
COMMUNICATION A MANAGEMENT THAT
CANNOT BE OFFSET BY AUTOMATION --
AS SENATOR STATED AND AND AN
OVERVIEW AUTOMATION SECTOR THE
UPSET OR DISRUPT AROUND 50% OF
THE U. S. JOBS BY -- TWENTY
FORTY IT IS ALSO EXPECTED -- TO
CREATE THE NEED FOR MORE
EMPLOYEES TO CONTINUOUSLY LEARN
OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR CAREERS --
AS TECHNOLOGY ACCELERATES THE
SPEED AT WHICH INDUSTRIES CHANGE --
FOR ALL THESE REASONS WE THINK --
IN ORDER TO MEET THIS CHALLENGE
WILL BE ESSENTIAL TO BRING ALL
STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER TO DISCUSS
AREAS OF CONCERN OPPORTUNITIES
FOR COLLABORATION -- A STATE
COMMISSION COULD BE THE FIRST
STEP IN ENSURING CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES AND WORKERS ARE
PREPARE FOR THIS NEXT ITERATION
OF JOBS -- IN PREPARING
CALIFORNIA FOR THE FUTURE OF
WORK WE CAN RE AFFIRM THE
CALIFORNIA DREAM FOR NEW
GENERATION.
PROVIDING BY FOR ANY GREATER
ACCESS -- TO EQUITABLE SKILLS --
AND TECHNOLOGY IN SOFT SKILLS
THAT ARE ALSO NECESSARY
THROUGHOUT INVOLVING QUIRK
LANDSCAPE SO THANK YOU THANK YOU.
NEXT WITNESSES SUPPORT.
DROUGHT COOK FOR THE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION WE SUPPORT THE BILL
IF AMENDED.
WE KNOW THE DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
WILL BE IMPACTED DIFFERENTLY --
DUE TO CHANGES IN -- THE
WORKPLACE DUE TO AUTOMATION
TECHNOLOGY SO WE'RE SEEKING IS
INSTEAD OF ONE PRIVATE SECTOR
REPRESENTATIVES TO HAVE
REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE
DIFFERENT SECTORS ARE MOST
LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED.
CAMERA DIMITRI WITH TECHNO AND
NOW WE'RE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL.
GOOD MORNING MR CHEN MEMBERS
MATTHEW ALL OF WESTERN GROWERS
ASSOCIATION WE ALSO HAVE A
SUPPORT OF HIM IN A POSITION ON
THE BILL.
GOOD MORNING LOWER CURTIS ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE WE ARE ALSO IN
SUPPORT OF HIM IN A POSITION ON
THE BILL THANK SO MUCH.
IT WILL BE -- ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION.
SEE NONE TURN BACK -- TO THE
COMMITTEE [inaudible]
CENTER HELP.
THANK THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I
JUST WANTED TO TO COMPLEMENT THE
AUTHORED THIS BILL WAS HEARD
LAST WEEK IN LABOR COMMITTEE AND
IT RECEIVED TREMENDOUS SUPPORT.
IT'S TIMELY AND NECESSARY TO GO
FORWARD WITH THAT SO
[inaudible]
CENTER GLAZER.
AT JUST A HISTORICAL NOTE -- IF
THAT RELATES TO THIS BILL IT
JUST IT TWO YEARS AGO -- THIS
LEGISLATURE PASSED OUT A TRAILER
BILL THAT AS A CONDITION OF
FUNDING IN THIS CASE IT WAS THE
PORTS.
ARE PUT A PROHIBITION ON ON NOT.
THE THE WHAT WAS THE AUTOMATE
YOU COULDN'T USE THE MONEY. TO
USE AT IT COULD BE INVOLVED IN
ANY AUTOMATION ABOUT THAT WE
GAVE MONEY BUT SAID YOU COULD
USE IT FOR AUTOMATION.
AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF FEAR IN
THIS SPACE AND APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR'S WORK TO TRY TO GET IN
FRONT OF THIS SO WE CAN MAKE
GOOD CHOICES DOWN THE LINE
[inaudible]
CENTER JONES.
THANK YOU I THINK I SUPPORT YOUR
BILL THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD
IDEA I'M I'M I'M.
ALWAYS HESITANT -- TO DEVELOP A
NEW COMMISSION -- THAT'S JUST
KIND OF MY NATURAL BEND BUT I
THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT WORK I
DO HAVE ONE CONCERN.
LOOKING AT MY NOTES THAT -- THE
COMMISSION OF EIGHT MEMBERS
MANDATES THAT ONLY ONE MEMBER.
BE FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS
THAT ACCURATE.
IT IS THE ONLY REAL GRANULARITY
WE HAVE IN THE BILL IN TERMS OF
WHO REPRESENTS WHO IS ONE MEMBER
FROM THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND ONE
MEMBER FROM LABOR.
THERE'S REALLY NOT A LOT OF
CAN'T SORT OF GRANULARITY IN THE
MEASURE RIGHT NOW I'M VERY OPEN --
TO IDEAS ON EITHER EXPANDING TO
MULTIPLESECTORS AND GETTING
REALLY SPECIFIC -- AND INTENSELY
EVEN EXPANDING THE SCOPE OF THE
BOARD ALTHOUGH YOU GET INTO A A
PLACE FOR YOU KNOW DECISION
MAKING GETS COMPLICATED
DEPENDING ON HOW BIG IT GETS.
BUT IT'S IT'S GONNA BE HARD FOR
ONE PRIVATE SECTOR MEMBER OR
WHAT ONE SECTOR OF THE LABOR
ECONOMY FRANKLY A TEAMSTERS
GONNA HAVE VERY DIFFERENT
INTERESTS THAN SAY A NURSE OR A
OR A LONGSHOREMANRIGHT SO.
I THINK WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO TRY
TO FIND SOME WAY TO MAKE THIS
WORK THAT WE CAN COVER THOSE
MULTIPLE SECTORS AYE AYE IT'S A
VALID CONCERN.
AND I'M I'M OPEN TO IDEAS OKAY
SO YOUR VISION IS TO HAVE MORE
THAN ONE PERSON FROM THE PRIVATE
SECTOR BUT YOU'RE INCLUDING IN
THE BILL THAT.
AT LEAST ONE PURCHASE AGAIN AND
I YOU KNOW YOU FOR YOUR TIME
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF WORK YOU
KNOW.
MOST EMPLOYEES STILL IN
CALIFORNIA WORK FOR IN THE
PRIVATE SECTOR AND THAT'S A
LARGE MARGIN I WOULD.
JUST ENCOURAGES IT MOVES DOWN
THE ROAD TO MAYBE.
EXPAND THAT MANDATE IN THE BILL
SO THANK YOU THANK YOU.
SO THERE CHIANG.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR SO I WANT
TO COMMEND THE AUTHOR FOR THIS
BILL -- IT THERE SEEMS TO BE A
LOT OF FEAR REGARDING AUTOMATION
AND I'VE BEEN.
TELLING A LOT OF FOLKS I JUST
DIDN'T POP CHALLENGE WITH KIDS
AND I SAID YOU HAVE TO GET IN
FRONT OF THIS.
BE THE CREATORS OF THE
TECHNOLOGY NOT JUST THE
CONSUMERS I THINK WE NEED TO
ALSO ADDRESS THE TRAINING.
ASPECT AND I'M HOPING THAT YOU
WOULD CONSIDER -- COMMISSION
MEMBERSHIP OF FROM THE FROM
ACADEMIA -- OR SOME TRAINING
THAT INCORPORATES SOME TRAINING
ASPECT BECAUSE I THINK IT'S I
THINK THAT IS AN ISSUE THAT WE
NEED TO ADDRESS SO THAT WE CAN
ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE FEAR --
BUT WITH THAT I I DO WANT TO
COMMEND YOU FOR FOR THIS BILL I
THINK THIS IS.
THIS IS GREAT TO START DRESSING
THIS ISSUE THANK CENTER.
WHAT HAPPENED TAKE THAT IN
CONSIDERATION ABSOLUTELY?
OKAY IN ANY OTHER COMMENTS --
SIR STERN YOU DID IT -- YOU YOU
HAVEN'T SAID IT YET BUT I NEED
YOU -- TO I'M EXCEPT IMMENSELY
AMENDMENTS ABSOLUTELY AND I AND
I WILL IN THE PRESENTATION THE
NEXT I THINK IS IMPORTANT
COMMENT ABOUT HOW THIS
COMMISSION MIGHT RELATE TO
ANOTHER COMMISSION WE'RE GONNA
BE TALKING ABOUT BUT I'LL
RESERVE THAT FOR THE NEXT
DISCUSSION WITH THAT MAY HAVE A
MOTION.
MOTION SENATOR ARCHULETA WE CALL
THE ROLL PLEASE.
FILE ITEM ELEVEN AS BE SEVEN
THIRTY MOTION IS TO PASS AS
AMENDED TO APPROPRIATIONS

RUBIO AYE WIENER.
VERY GOOD ELEVEN IS THERE ARE
LOTS OF IN THE BILL'S ON CALL --
THAT WOULD MOVED ITEM NUMBER
TWELVE SB [inaudible]
SEVEN FIVE TWO VERY GOOD -- I'M
A VERY MILLENNIAL I'M GETTING A
CALL ON MY WATCH I FEEL LIKE
DICK TRACY APPEAR -- IN A THAT'S
A VERY NON MILLENNIAL REFERENCE
SO I THINK THAT'S A LITTLE
ANACHRONISTIC AYE YEAH -- THIS
BILL IS ABOUT.
ANOTHER CHALLENGING ISSUE IN THE
TECHNOLOGY SPACE WHICH GOES
BEYOND JUST THE FUTURE OF WORK
IN WHAT AUTOMATION COULD DO TO
OUR WORK FORCE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA BUT THE SPEED OF
INNOVATION WHEN IT COMES TO
CHANGES IN SOCIAL MEDIA -- AND
OUR BROADER TECHNOLOGY LANDSCAPE.
WE FEEL IS OUTPACING OUR ABILITY
TO TO TO NOT JUST TO REGULATE
BUT TO TRULY COMPREHEND IS
PUBLIC POLICY MAKERS AND HIS
GOVERNMENT -- THE THE IMPACT OF
BROADLY PROLIFERATED SOCIAL
MEDIA ON OUR DEMOCRACY.
ON OUR PUBLIC HEALTH -- ON THE
WAY WE GO ABOUT OUR DAILY LIVES
I DON'T THINK IS FULLY
UNDERSTOOD I KNOW WE WILL BE
WRESTLING WITH MANY ISSUES
AROUND PRIVACY -- AND HOW
CONSUMERS INTERACT WITH --
THEY'RE SORT OF THESE DATA
PLATFORMS THE GOVERNOR PUT OUT
IN HIS STATE OF THE STATE A
CONCEPT OF A DATED DIVIDENDS --
THIS BILL TRIES TO SORT OF SCOPE
OUT A BROADER APPROACH WHERE
CALIFORNIA MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET
A BETTER SENSE.
OF WHAT THE TRUE IMPACTS OF THE
SPEED AND SCALE OF INNOVATION
ARE THAT WE'VE SEEN.
AS A SOCIAL MATTER SO NOT JUST
IMPACTS ON WORKFORCE.
BUT TRULY THE IMPACT ON OUR
LIVES ON THE VALUE OF THE DATA
THAT WERE SENDING -- TO THE
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES THAT ARE
BEING UTILIZED TO TARGET ADS OR
TO GENERATE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN REVENUE -- WHAT'S HAPPENING.
TO YOUR KIDS AND GRANDKIDS AS
THEY USE INSTAGRAM FOR NINETEEN
HOURS A DAY AND LIVE THEIR LIVES
IN THIS PARADIGM THAT IS TRULY
IMPACTING OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
ONE ANOTHER -- AS WELL AS WITH
DEMOCRACY -- NOT JUST A YOUNG
PERSON ISSUE THOUGH FAKE NEWS
LAST CYCLE I THINK THE VAST
MAJORITY WAS SHARED BY THOSE
SIXTY FIVE AND OLDER.
HI THIS IS NOT JUST MILLENNIALS
IGNORANTLY WANDERING THROUGH THE
WEB.
SO THE GUY IDEA HERE IS TO FORM
SOME KIND OF COMMISSION TO BRING
BOTH -- THE TOP ACADEMICS -- THE
TOP ECONOMISTS FOLKS FROM
PRIVATE SECTOR BUT ALSO CONSUMER
AND PRIVACY ADVOCATES TO TRY TO
DEVELOP SOME STRATEGY TO LOOK AT
WHAT AN EQUITY STAKE FROM THE
TECH COMMUNITY REALLY LOOKS LIKE.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR ME TO JUST
SAY.
YOU CAN OFFSET THE IMPACT YOU
MAY HAVE HAD ON JOURNALISM ON
DEMOCRACY THROUGH CHARITABLE
CONTRIBUTIONS OR THROUGH SOME
OTHER -- STUDIES ARE REPORTS SIR
EVEN THE WONDERFUL EVENTS WE DO
OUR WE WE CODE IN THE DISTRICTS
ARE WE HELP EDUCATE YOUNG PEOPLE
ABOUT -- THE THE PITFALLS OF
SOCIAL MEDIA IT'S THAT'S NOT
ENOUGH -- WE ACTUALLY NEED TO
LOOK AT A SITTING DOWN THE TECH
COMMUNITY WHAT AN EQUITY STAKE
REALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE FUTURE
ANYTHING THAT STARTS WITH
ACCOUNTING DATA AND HAVE AN
ACCURATE SET OF FACTS ABOUT.
WHAT THESE IMPACTS COULD TRULY
BE SO -- THIS IS SORT OF TAKING
THAT BALL AND RUNNING WITH IT
FROM THE GOVERNOR'S STATE OF THE
STATE AND TRY TO EXPAND UPON
THAT TO NOT JUST BE ABOUT A DATA
DIVIDEND CONVERSATION BUT
SOMETHING MUCH BROADER THAT WE
THINK COULD.
TRY PUBLIC POLICY IN YEARS TO
COME.
I'VE GOT HERE THIS BUSY UGLIES
HERE FROM COMMON SENSE MEDIA
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY
AND HELPING US ALONG WITH THIS
MEASURE -- AND HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU CENTER STERN CARE
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I'M
ELIZABETH POLICIA I AM VICE
PRESIDENT POLICY FOR COMMON
SENSE.
WE ARE A NATIONAL NONPROFIT
ADVOCATING FOR HEALTHY DIGITAL
ECOSYSTEM.
WE REPRESENT MORE THAN A HUNDRED
MILLION PARENTS FAMILIES
STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS ACROSS
THE NATION WHO WANT TO LIVE IN A
WORLD WHERE THEY CAN HARNESS THE
POWER OF MEDIA AND TECHNOLOGY
FOR LEARNING AND LIFE.
THEY WANT THEIR PRIVACY
PROTECTED THEY WANT TO CONNECT
WITH FRIENDS WITH JOBS WITH THE
WORLD AND THEY WANT A VIBRANT
FUTURE.
THE SAME KIDS AND FAMILIES FEEL
THEY'RE PART OF A GRAND
EXPERIMENT THE INNOVATION
ECONOMY IS ONE IN WHICH WE ARE
TESTING DISRUPTING AND IN THE
END FAILING OUR NEXT GENERATIONS.
AND IT'S NOW TIME TO INNOVATE
FOR CHANGE.
AND I QUOTE.
IT IS NO LONGER MORALLY
ACCEPTABLE FOR TECHNOLOGY
COMPANIES TO SAY WE JUST CREATE
THE PLATFORMS HOW PEOPLE USE
THEM IS UP TO THEM.
THAT IS MORALLY INDEFENSIBLE IT
IS GOOD COP OUT AND IS HURTING
CHILDREN AND ADULTS AND SOCIETY
AT LARGE.
THESE WORDS ARE FROM THE
NINETEENTH SURGEON GENERAL OF
THE UNITED STATES VACHE MARTY.
A FEW WEEKS AGO IN WASHINGTON DC.
THE NATION'S DOCTOR FOR FOUR
YEARS WHO CHALLENGE THE MEDICAL
ESTABLISHMENT TO TURN THE TIDE
ON THE OPIOID CRISIS.
CONTINUED IN THOSE COMMENTS.
WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS ASK
OURSELVES WHAT THE IMPACT OF OUR
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES ON?
OUR ON THE PEOPLE THAT WE ARE
SEEKING TO SERVE.
PART OF THAT INVOLVES
UNDERSTANDING AND INVESTING IN
THAT IMPACT AND THE COURAGE TO
ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION IF WE SEE
THERE MAY BE NEGATIVE IMPACTS.
EVEN IF THAT IMPACTS OUR PROFIT
WE HAVE TO FUNCTION WITH AN
ETHIC THAT PEOPLE AND THEIR WELL
BEING COME FIRST.
AND GOVERNMENT CAN PLAY A ROLE
BY CONVENING THE RIGHT PLAYERS
TO HAVE A CONVERSATION AND
PLACING THIS HIGH ON OUR
NATIONAL AGENDA.
CALIFORNIA WITH THE TECH EQUITY
ACT IS DOING JUST THAT.
ELEVATING HOW TECH IMPACTS
SOCIETY HI ON THE NATIONAL
AGENDA.
PRIVACY A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS IS ONLY THE
BEGINNING OF THE CONVERSATION
WHEN IT COMES TO RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITY.
AROUND TECHNOLOGY USE JUSTICE AN
IMPACT.
AND ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY WELL
CRITICAL IS ONLY THE THE
BEGINNING OF ADDRESSING EQUITY
FOR VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
THROUGH THE TECH EQUITY ACT WE
HOPE TO EXPLORE TAX IMPACT ON
ANY QUALITY.
OUR KIDS FUTURE THE FUTURE OF A
FREE PRESS AND TAX IMPACT ON OUR
DEMOCRACY AND OUR COMMUNITIES.
THIS WORK WILL HAPPEN BY
ENGAGING COMMUNITIES IN SECTORS
THAT ARE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE AND
THAT HAVE AN WITH THOSE THAT
HAVE THE MOST AT STAKE WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
LEGISLATURE TO REALIZE A JUST
AND EQUITABLE TECH FUTURE FOR
ALL.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT [inaudible]
WITNESSES OPPOSITION.
TURN BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
[inaudible]
CENTER RUBIO.
THANK YOU WELL I THINK THIS IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT STAFFED I AS AN
EDUCATOR FOR SO MANY YEARS I CAN
TELL YOU THAT DOWN.
THERE'S A LOT OF ISSUES AS
TEACHERS ON NOT GOING UP IN THE
TECHNOLOGY ERA THERE WERE NOT
UNDERSTANDING IN THE CLASSROOM
THE IMPACTS OF PARENT TEACHER.
ANYHOW I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WITH THIS IS
IMPORTANT IN PARTICULAR AS IT
PERTAINS TO OUR STUDENTS AND
WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO DO SO
HOPEFULLY WE GET SOME DATA ON
HOW THAT AFFECTS.
OUR CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM
THANK YOU.
SO RUBIO CAN I COUNT THAT AS A
OCEAN [inaudible]
SIR WORKS.
WE'RE USING THE THE TERM
EQUITIES AND INEQUITIES.
WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT?
DOES THAT MEAN.
I WE IS THIS A SYNONYM FOR
TAXATION.
RESEARCH.
I DO I DON'T THINK SO I I I
THINK THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
WAYS THAT TECHNOLOGY AND THE
INDUSTRY'S DRIVING IT -- CAN
TAKE AN EQUITY STAKE IN THE
CONVERSATION I THINK IT STARTS
WITH ACCOUNTING -- AND SORT OF
UNDERSTANDING.
THE IF IT'S POSSIBLE WE WE MAY
NOT GET TO A PERFECT ACCOUNTING
OF SOCIAL COST HERE -- IT'S NOT
THE SAME SAY IS A CARBON PRICING
EXERCISE WHERE YOU CAN.
GET DOWN TO THE EXACT DOLLAR PER
TON EQUIVALENT.
BUT I DON'T THINK THAT THE
TECHNOLOGY COMMUNITY YET FULLY
UNDERSTANDS THAT THEY'RE NOT
SOMETHING SEPARATE FROM US BUT
THEY ARE US AND I GUESS THAT'S
THAT'S THE MEANING BEHIND THE
EQUITY POINT IS THAT -- HEY
THEY DON'T EXIST JUST IN THE
CLOUD THEY'RE NOT JUST A
PLATFORM -- THEY'RE HERE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THEY LIVE HERE.
HOUSING THE WORK FORCE -- THEY
OUGHT TO EXERCISE SOME EQUITY
STAKE IN WHAT THAT IS AND NOW
I'M I DON'T THINK THIS IS
SUPPOSED TO BE -- TAXATION
ORIENTED MEASURE PER SE -- I
THINK THAT IT'S A IT'S A BROADER
FRAMEWORK TO ALLOW OURSELVES
ACTUALLY INTEGRATE -- THOSE
COMMUNITIES IMPACTS INTO OUR
FUTURE PLANNING OF WE KNOW THAT
THE 85% OF FAKE NEWS ARE BEING
SHARED BY THOSE SIXTY FIVE AND
OLDER IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WELL MAYBE WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING.
EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS ON THOSE
COMMUNITIES AGAIN I THINK A LOT
OF FEAR DRIVES OUR CONVERSATION
AROUND TECH AND THAT SORT OF THE
RELATION BACK TO THE FUTURE WORK --
WE ARE SPECULATING RIGHT NOW AND
A LOT OF THE BLOW UPS THAT WE
SEEN OVER LAST COUPLE YEARS IN
TERMS OF THE USE OF FACEBOOK --
IT'S IMPACT ON JOURNALISM -- I
STILL BELIEVE IN A FREE AND OPEN
INTERNET AND I DON'T THINK THE
ANSWER TO THIS IS TO SHUT DOWN
FACEBOOK OR TO GO -- TAX GOOGLE
BECAUSE THE CURRENT PARADIGM IS
SIMPLY NOT WORKING.
IN I THINK YOU'RE HITTING ON
SOME REALLY IMPORTANT POINTS I
THINK.
THE TECH DYNAMIC IN ITS EVERYDAY
IMPACT OUR LIVES WERE CERTAINLY
HAVING TO CALIBRATE RECALIBRATE --
AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END IN
SIGHT BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS A STEP
OR TWO AHEAD OF US.
I'M JUST WONDERING DO YOU HAVE
ANY CONCERN BY THE CREATION OF A
COMMISSION LIKE THIS.
THAT.
IT WOULD.
THE FIRST A CALCULATION ON
IMPACT.
AND THE MOTIVATION TO CREATE NEW
FUNDING STREAMS WILL BE SO
OVERWHELMING IN SEDUCTIVE.
THAT.
IT'S AN IRREVERSIBLE PROCESS --
WITH ITS OWN CONCLUSION.
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE
OUT OF THE FUTURE OF THIS AREA
OF REGULATION AND I AND I THINK
THE TECH MEANS ACTUALLY ASKING
FOR THAT REGULATION TO SOME
EXTENT THEY'RE SAYING PLEASE
HELP US THROUGH THIS BECAUSE WE
AS POLICY MAKERS ACTUALLY NEED.
TO GET OUR HANDS AROUND THIS.
IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK IT
IS -- THE FUTURE OF A
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN ORGANIZE
PARTIES SAY -- CONSUMERS OF
SOCIAL MEDIA AND THEIR ABILITY
TO SAY THIS IS HOW MUCH VALUE
FOR INSTANCE FOR PROVIDING DO
YOU FACE BOOK -- NOT THAT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA EVEN BE
INTERESTED IN TAXING YOU BUT HOW
TO SAY EMPOWER -- YOU THOSE
THOSE SORT OF DATA CONTRIBUTORS
TO HAVE THEIR OWN NEGOTIATION
WITH A SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM NEW
CONSTRUCTS THAT.
I I I DON'T THINK WE HAVE IN OUR
LEXICON AT THIS POINT IN TERMS
OF TAXATION REGULATION BECAUSE
THIS.
THIS NEW PARADIGM IS SO
UNPRECEDENTED -- I DON'T THINK
IT'S JUST A STRAIGHT STALKING
HORSE FOR YOU KNOW A DIGITAL
SERVICES TAX OR SOME SOME
DIFFERENT KIND OF TEXT TAX THAT
LIKE THERE WITH WHAT THEY'RE
LOOKING AT THE U. K. THE U. I
THINK WE HAVE TO DO SOME
DIFFERENT HERE INCALIFORNIA SO.
I'M SORRY I DON'T HAVE SOME MORE
GRANULAR BUT I GOTTA GET PEOPLE
MUCH SMARTER THAN MYSELF --
TOGETHER WITH THE BEST PEOPLE --
THAT THE GOVERNOR CAN COME UP
WITH AND HOPEFULLY YOU WALKING
I'M OF COME UP WITH AND DO SOME
ANALYSIS HERE BECAUSE I DON'T
EVEN THINK WE HAVE THE
MECHANISMS IN MIND YET LET ALONE
THE ACCOUNTING.
IF THAT HELPS CAN'T STUDY WHAT
YOU CAN'T MEASURE THERE YOU GO --
THANK YOU YES -- CHIANG.
JUST FOR CLARIFICATION ANYONE
FROM THE TECH COMMUNITY THAT'S
SUPPOSED.
I DON'T I THINK THIS IS STILL
RELATIVELY NEW I THINK WE HAVE
VERY LIMITED SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION AT THIS POINT -- I I
DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY.

SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION OTHER THAN

CENTER THIS BILL -- ENJOYS THE
THE CHAIR SUPPORT.
I SAW MANY ASK YOU IN THE VICE
CHAIRS BOTH SIDES SO I'M GONNA
ASK YOU IN YOUR WITH THIS IS TO
BE BRIEF WE HAVE VERY LITTLE
TIME.
VERY GOOD THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS -- PLEASED TO
PRESENT SENATE BILL SIX SIX NINE
WHICH WOULD ESTABLISH THE SAFE
DRINKING WATER FUND AND SAFE
DRINKING WATER TRUST -- AS YOU
KNOW THERE ARE OVER TWO HUNDRED
AND FIFTY COMMUNITY WATER
SYSTEMS THAT.
ARE.
CHRONICALLY FAILING TO SERVE
SAFE DRINKING WATER AND A
MAJORITY OF THEM ARE IN SMALL
RURAL DISTRICTS.
ARE DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES A
LOT OF IN MINE -- SO TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THIS
BILL WOULD SET UP A BOMB IT
WOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUES.
THAT WAS WE HAVE WE HAVE WATER
IN THE BOND.
WE HAVE MANY IN THE IN THE WATER
BOND TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SOME OF
THE IMPROVEMENTS SUMS TO SOME OF
THESE WATER SYSTEMS BUT WHAT WE
REALLY NEED.
IS A SUSTAINABLE FUNDING SOURCE
TO ASSIST THE STRUGGLING PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEMS FOR THE OPERATIONS
AND MAINTENANCE COSTS WHICH
GENERALLY CANNOT BE FINANCED
WITH EXISTING FEDERAL AND STATE
SAFE DRINKING WATER FIND SOURCES.
SO THE BILL WOULD ADDRESS THE
GAP IN FUNDING AT THE STATE BY
CREATING THE SAFE DRINKING WATER
TRUST WHICH WOULD BE CREATED AT
THE STATE TREASURY AND FINANCE
WITH GENERAL FUND DOLLARS DURING
A BUDGET SURPLUS YEAR.
LIKE THIS -- THE TRUSTS
PRINTABLE WOULD BE INVESTED AND
THE NET INCOME WOULD BE
TRANSFERRED TO THE SAFE DRINKING
WATER FIND AT THE STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD. TO BE
ABLE TO FIX THE SYSTEM FIRST
WITNESS.
