THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB TWO FIVE
EIGHT A BILL THAT WOULD USE
FUNDS FROM PROP SIXTY FOUR YEAR
MARK FOR TREATMENT AND
PREVENTION.
TO FUND SUSTAINABLE HEALTH AND
MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS THIS BILL
ADDRESSES THE NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL SUPPORT
SERVICES THE GRANTS CREATED BY
THIS BILL WILL HELP FILL THE
VOID IN A NUMBER OF SUPPORTIVE
SERVICES STAFF.
ALLEVIATE THE WORKLOAD OF
ALREADY OVERWORKED TEACHERS AND
CONNECT SCHOOLS TO EXISTING
COMMUNITY RESOURCES.
THE BILL IS STRUCTURED SUCH THAT
GRANTS TO LEVERAGE ADDITIONAL
FEDERAL RESOURCES SPECIFICALLY A
50% FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR
MEDI CAL ELIGIBLE SERVICE.
THE NEED FOR THIS BILL IS CLEAR
AS EVIDENCED IN THE TEACHER
STRIKES WE HAVE SEEN ACROSS THIS
STATE.
EDUCATORS STATEWIDE HAVE MADE
CLEAR THE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL
SUPPORT.
CURRENT RATIOS OF SUPPORT STAFF
ARE TERRIBLE WITH ONE COUNSEL
FOR EVERY EIGHT SIX HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY ONE STUDENTS ONE NURSE
FOR EVERY TWO THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED STUDENTS AND ONE SOCIAL
WORKER FOR EVERY NINE THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED STUDENTS.
OUR STUDENTS ARE FACING.
STRESS AND TRAUMA AT
UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS WITHOUT
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES STAFF.
AND PROGRAMS ON CAMPUS TO ATTEND
THE THESE NEEDS WE CANNOT
POSSIBLY EXPECT OUR STUDENTS TO
SUCCEED.
THIS BILL PROVIDES GRANTS THAT
ALLOW SCHOOLS TO MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISIONS ON WHAT SERVICES BEST
BIT THE NEEDS OF THEIR STUDENTS.
FOR SOME THIS MAY MEAN TRAUMA
INFORMED CARE. FOR OTHERS
TRAINING FOR TEACHERS IN
IDENTIFYING STUDENTS IN NEED OF
TREATMENT. FOR OTHERS THE
CREATION OF A SCHOOL BASED
HEALTH CENTER MIGHT BE THE MOST
SUPPORTIVE.
WHICH STUDENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH
THE SUPPORT OF SERVICES STAFF
THAT THEY NEED WE SEE INCEASE
CLASSROOM ENGAGEMENT BETTER
ATTENDANCE IMPROVE STUDENT
SUCCESS AND MOST IMPORTANT
REDUCED DRUG USAGE RATES.
GRAHAM IS MODELED AFTER A
SIMILAR -- SOME REALLY
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM IN COLORADO

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS -- TOM RENT FREE WITH
THE COUNTY BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA -- WELL WE APPRECIATE
THE THE INTENT OF THIS BILL WE
DO HAVE A COUPLE OF CONCERNS
THAT WE HAVE DISCUSSED AT SOME
LENGTH WITH THE AUTHORS STAFF --
THE FIRST WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE%
LANGUAGE TO ENSURE THAT HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THESE
PROGRAMS HAVE SOME EXPERTISE OR
ADEQUATE TRAINING IN SUBSTANCE
USE DISORDER PREVENTION -- THE
THE CURRENT.
IN THE CURRENT FORM.
THERE'S A DESCRIPTION OF THE
SCHOOL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL MEANS
AN INDIVIDUAL HOLDING A SERVICES
CREDENTIAL WITH A SPECIALIZATION
IN PUPIL PERSONNEL SERVICES.
OR SERVICES CREDENTIAL WITH A
SPECIALIZATION IN HEALTH FOR A
SCHOOL NURSE BUT THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT THAT THEY HAVE ANY
SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN
ENVIRONMENTAL PRIMARY OR
SECONDARY SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
PREVENTION WHICH IS AN
ESTABLISHED FIELD OF WORK IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND THAT RELATES TO A SECOND
CONCERN.
WE THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER IF
THE BILL LEVERAGE CALIFORNIA'S
EXISTING SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
PREVENTION INFRASTRUCTURE
CERTIFIED THE SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDER PREVENTION SPECIALISTS
ARE ALREADY ACTIVE IN MANY
SCHOOLS -- WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
LANGUAGE ENCOURAGING THESE
PROGRAMS TO COORDINATE WITH
EXISTING PREVENTION ACTIVITIES
RATHER THAN CREATING A SEPARATE
STRUCTURE WHICH BYPASSES THE
GOOD PREVENTION WORK THAT'S
ALREADY -- BEING DONE AND WE
THINK THAT WOULD MAKE FOR A MORE
EFFECTIVE USE OF THE PROPOSITION
SIXTY FOUR FUNDS.
HAVING SAID ALL THAT WE HAVE AN
OVER OVER AN HOUR LONG A
CONVERSATION WITH THE AUTHOR
STAFF YESTERDAY I THOUGHT IT WAS
IT WAS HELPFUL AND PRODUCTIVE --
AND WE DO APPRECIATE THE THE
WORK THAT AND THEM WORKING WITH

OF THESE ISSUES AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING WORKING
WITH THEM THANK YOU [inaudible]

MULA SO HERE GLAZER MCGUIRE PAN
PAN HERE.
GOOD WE HAVE A QUORUM ANY
COMMENTS QUESTIONS SENATOR
TORONTO.
IS JUST A FOLLOW UP WITH THE
LAST -- REMARKS THAT WERE MADE.
DO YOU SEE THE THAT -- THAT
CONCERN COULD BE FIXED.
YEAH IN THIS LEGISLATION.
LET ME JUST START WITH ONE I
DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE WAY IT'S
WRITTEN NOW PRECLUDES ON ANY OF
THAT FROM HAPPENING -- WE WANT
TO WORK WITH THEM TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE STRENGTH IN THAT -- LET
ME GIVE AN EXAMPLE IN MY
DISTRICT AT FREMONT HIGH SCHOOL
THERE'S A HEALTH CENTER CALL
MMHM.
WHICH IS BOTH THE COUNTY.
AND SCHOOL RESOURCES COMEY
TOGETHER ON ONE CAMPUS PROVIDING
DRUG REHABILITATION SERVICES FOR
PREGNANT WOMEN SERVICE FOR
MENTAL HEALTH AND THEY ALL HAVE
BROUGHT THOSE ON CAMPUS.
THAT'S MY VISION FOR WHAT THIS
ULTIMATELY WILL BE IT WILL BE.
WE CANNOT EXCLUDE THE MENTAL
HEALTH PROFESSION WE CAN'T
EXCLUDE THE DRUG REHABILITATION
INDIVIDUALS ON OUR CAMPUS WE
NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND MAKE
THIS HAPPEN AND AND SO I WILL
WORK VERY CLOSELY. TO MAKE SURE
THAT HAPPENED BECAUSE AS YOU
KNOW SOUTH LOS ANGELES.
ARE WE EXPERIENCE EVERY.
TYPE OF AILMENT POSSIBLE.
IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM RIGHT NOW
AND BECAUSE OF THE BUDGET CUTS
BEFORE WE GOT HERE.
WE JUST TOTALLY DECIMATED AT
THAT THAT SUPPORT SERVICES I'M
JUST TRYING TO USE MONEY TO
BUILD IT BACK UP AGAIN AND I
DEFINITELY WE CANNOT DO IT
WITHOUT COUNTY RESOURCES EITHER.
JUST A FOLLOW UP -- YEAH.
I APPRECIATE THAT THERE ARE
THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY DOING IT
BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE OTHERS.
ARE AND I'M NOT SAYING THERE
THERE'S ANYTHING YOU KNOW BAD
ABOUT THE MORE THAT BAD
INTENTIONS IT JUST DOESN'T
HAPPEN UNLESS.
THEY'RE NUDGED OR PUSHED IN THAT
DIRECTION SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT
I GOT OUT OF THE REMARKS OF
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER PAN.
THANK YOU AND NOW I THINK YOU AS
A MEMBER JONES SAWYER FOR BRING
THIS BILL FORD I WAS ACTUALLY
FOR USE THE THE MEDICAL
CONSULTANTS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT

NURSES AND PSYCHOLOGISTS AND SO
FORTH AND HOW IMPORTANT IS TO
BRING THESE THINGS ON CAMPUS AS
YOU SAID I CERTAINLY -- HERE THE
CONCERNS OF THE OPPOSITION IN
TERMS OF SAYING ABOUT
IMMIGRATION BUT ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT ALSO WE NEED TO
THINK ABOUT IS IS THAT -- NO WE
DO NEED AS I THINK THE SELLER
SAID -- TO NOT TO SAY WHAT LAMBS
IS THEY'LL REFER PEOPLE OUT
BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE DON'T
MAKE IT THERE WE NEED TO BRING
THINGS LIKE CAMPUS SCHOOLS OUR
COMMUNITY CENTERS -- SO WE'VE
GOT TO FIGURE HOW TO BETTER
INTEGRATE IN FACT ONE OF THE
THINGS I I WORKED ON AS MEDICAL
CONSULTANT WAS ACTUALLY FIGURE
OUT HOW WE BETTER INTEGRATE THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM WHAT THE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE MENTAL
HEALTH SYSTEM RIGHT -- SOMETIMES
WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT DOESN'T
REALLY HAPPEN AND I THINK THIS
WOULD BE AN IMPORTANT STEP
FORWARD AYE -- I GUESS THE
QUESTION DOES THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER IS IS THAT -- ARE YOU
BASED -- YOU CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH THE OPPOSITION TO SEE WHAT
WE CAN TRY TO DO TO ACHIEVE THE
VISION HAT YOU EXPRESSED.

THAT -- AS MANY OF YOU MAY KNOW
STUDENT DEBT IN THIS COUNTRY IS
ESTIMATED AT ONE POINT FIVE
TRILLION DOLLARS IT IS MORE THAN
CREDIT CARD DEBT AND CAR LOANS

LEGISLATION THAT ADDRESSES THE
TIP OF THE ICEBERG AS IT RELATES
TO STUDENT DEBT COMMUNITY

WITH US ALL AYE GLAZER MCGUIRE
PAN PAN AYE.
AS FOR VOTES AND LEAVE IT OPEN
BELIEVE IT ON CALL AND YOU HAVE
ALSO ITEM NUMBER NINE WHICH IS
AB SEVEN TEN BEGIN WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU AGAIN MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS SUFFER LONG ME TO
PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL SEVEN TEN
TODAY ALSO WANT TO THANK AYE
YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR
DILIGENT WORK ON THIS BILL. ONE
OF THE BIGGEST COMPONENT OF THE
INCREASING COST TO RECEIVE A
HIGH QUALITY POST SECONDARY
EDUCATION IS THE COST OF HOUSING.
IN THE RECENT YEARS A COST TO
ATTEND COLLEGE HAS GROWN FOUR
TIMES THE RATE OF INFLATION.
AB SEVEN TEN SIX TO ENSURE THAT
HOUSING COSTS FIGURES ACCURATELY
REFLECT THE ACTUAL FINANCIAL
NEED OF THE STUDENT AT THAT
INSTITUTION.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT DATA AND
TRANSPARENCY IN THE COST OF
HOUSING FOR STUDENTS NOTHING
MORE NOTHING LESS THE DATA WE
PROVIDE TO STUDENTS ON THE
PERSPECTIVE COST OF ATTENDANCE
IF.
EXCUSE ME INFLUENCES OF THEIR
CHOICE I THEY MAKE ABOUT WHICH
COLLEGE THEY DECIDE TO ATTEND
WHETHER OR NOT TO TAKE OUT LOANS
TO PAY FOR THAT COLLEGE FOR THE
HIGHER EDUCATION OR TO PURSUE.
A HIGHER EDUCATION AT ALL.
UNDER EXISTING LAW THERE IS NO
STANDARD NO SYSTEM WIDE PROCESS
TO CALCULATE HOUSING COSTS AT
ANY HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION
COLLEGES HAVE CONSIDERABLE
DISCRETION IN THIS CATEGORY.
WELL CS I WASI SACK HAS
CONDUCTED A PILOT STUDENT EXACT --
EXPENSE AND RESOURCE SURVEY
OTHER NINE OTHERWISE KNOWN AS
SEARS FOR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
THERE'S NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR
INSTITUTIONS TO USE THAT DATA OR
OTHER SURVEYS AT ALL.
FURTHERMORE THE STATE'S STUDENT
EXPENSE AND RESOURCE SURVEYS
HAVE NOT BEEN ACTIVE FOR MORE
THAN A DECADE.
THE LAST YEAR'S UPDATE WAS IN
TWENTY EIGHT TWO THOUSAND SIX
AND SEVEN SCHOOL YEAR ACADEMIC
SCHOOL YEAR THERE'S NO GUARANTEE
THAT SEARS WILL BE REINSTATED BY
THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION OR
THAT IT WILL STAY ACTIVE IN THE
STATE IF THE STATE ENCOUNTERS
DIFFICULT BUDGETARY CHALLENGES
IN THE FUTURE.
SURVEYS ALSO I DO NOT PROVIDE AN
ACCURATE ACCURATE REFLECTION OF
THE RESOURCES STUDENTS ACTUALLY
NEED TO ATTEND COLLEGE THEY
OFTEN PRESENT A DISTORTED IMAGE
OF WHAT STUDENTS ACTUALLY SPEND
WHEN THEY ARE FORCED TO DO --
MAKE DO WITH HE RESOURCES THE
LIMITED RESOURCES THE COLLEGE
STUDENTS ALREADY HAVE A LOT OF
THEM ARE FOOD IN SECURE -- MANY
GO TO EVENTS WHERE THERE IS FREE
FOOD AND CARPOOL LANE IN ORDER
TO AVOID TRANSPORTATION COSTS.
ARE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER
LEARNING SHOULD BE UPDATING
THEIR HOUSING COSTS ON A
FREQUENT BASIS IN ORDER TO KEEP
UP WITH THE STATE'S EVER
FLUCTUATING MARKET HOUSING
MARKET.
AB SEVEN TEN WILL HELP ADDRESS
THIS ISSUE BY REQUIRING
INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING
TO USE THE FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF
HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT --
DEVELOPMENTS MARKET FOR MARKET
RATES I WHICH IS ACTUALLY VERY
RELIABLE AND CONSISTENTLY
PUBLISHED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
FIVE TO THE FAIR MARKET RENT
SYSTEM FOR THE FOR OVER FORTY
FIVE YEARS THIS IS BEEN IN PLACE
THE FOR MARKET RENT DOUBT IS
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND MORE
ACCURATELY PORTRAYS THE COST OF
HOUSING AND SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES.
NOT ONLY IS A FAIR MARKET RATE
DATA MORE ACCURATE RELIABLY.
UPDATED BUT USING ONE STANDARD
TO CALCULATE COST OF HOUSING
WILL ALLOW STUDENTS TO MAKE
BETTER COST COMPARISONS BETWEEN
INSTITUTE.
INSTITUTIONS WHEN CHOOSING WHICH
COLLEGE TO ATTEND.
AB SEVEN TEN WILL HELP ALL
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS ESPECIALLY
FIRST GENERATION LOW INCOME
STUDENTS AND STUDENTS OF COLOR
HAVE MORE ACCURATE PICTURE OF A
FINANCIAL RESOURCE THEY WILL
MAKE.
ALL THE WAY THROUGH THEIR
COMMENCEMENTS ARE WITH ME TODAY
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.
IS MANY RODRIGUEZ -- EXCUSE ME

BENEVOLENT CHAIR WELL THAT'S

GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS OUT OF
MODESTY I'M AN UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENT FROM UC DAVIS -- I'M A
FINANCIAL AID RECIPIENT AND I AM
ALSO THE XO WHAT'S PRESIDENT FOR
THE UC DAVIS IN ASSOCIATION ON
THE OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVES OF
THE UC DAVIS OTHER OF SENATOR OF
THE YOU SEE OF SOMEBODY -- I'M
HERE TO TED TODAY TO TELL YOU
THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY MONTHS
WHERE I LOOKED AT MY BILL AND
THOUGHT TO MYSELF MY GOD.
I'M NOT GONNA MAKE MY RENT THIS
MONTH THANKFULLY THAT HASN'T
HAPPENED YET A RECENT SURVEY AT
UC DAVIS SHOWED THAT 18% OF
STUDENTS HAVE BEEN HOUSING AND
SECURE.
AND 7% HAVE EXPERIENCED
HOMELESSNESS AND WHEN I WAS
LOOKING AT THOSE NUMBERS I
THOUGHT TO MYSELF.
I'M ONE OF THOSE THAT 18% AND
THE THOUGHT OF NOT BEING ABLE TO
PAY MY RENT ONE MONTH IS.
TERRIFYING TO ME -- AND THE FACT
OF THE MATTER IS THAT TO US TO
IN STATE STUDENTS RECEIVE
FINANCIAL AID HOUSING IS THE
BIZARRE BIGGEST COSTS OF IT
BIGGEST CONSUMMATE IN ATTENDANCE --
OP I PAY MORE THAN A THOUSAND
DOLLARS A MONTH FOR SINGLE ROOM
IN A FOUR BEDROOM APARTMENT --
I'VE SPOKEN TO PEOPLE I
REPRESENTED UC DAVIS WHO HAVE.
NO INCOME -- CAN GET NO HELP
FROM THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY
HAVE CONSIDERED DROPPING OUT OF
SCHOOL ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS MY
OWN ROOMMATE.
HAS MOVED GRADUATED RECENTLY
TOLD ME THAT HE CONSIDERED
DROPPING OUT AT LEAST FIVE OR
SIX TIMES BECAUSE OF HOUSING
COSTS -- AND KNOWING WHAT WE'RE
GETTING OURSELVES INTO A KNOWING
WHAT THE COST OF OUR HOUSING IS
GOING TO BE ONE WERE SIGNING UP
FOR OUR FOR FOR FOR THE
UNIVERSITY -- AND THAT THAT
COULD MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN
AND HOW WE PROCEED WITH OUR
EDUCATION -- AND THAT'S WHY I'M
HERE TODAY.
IN THIS BILL.
THANK YOU.
PLEASE PROCEED GOOD MORNING BY
SIR WILK AND SAID EDUCATION
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MANY RODRIGUEZ
FROM THE EDUCATION TRUST WEST --
TODAY WERE HERE TO EXPRESS OUR
SUPPORT FOR AB SEVEN TEN A BILL
THAT WILL ENSURE ACCURATE FAIR
CONSISTENT HOUSING BY UTILIZING
FAIR AND AND HOUSING URBAN
DEVELOPMENT DATA.
AS OPPOSED OUTDATED SURVEY
SURVEY.
ET W BELIEVES THAT THIS
TRANSPARENCY IN ACCURACY IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR ALL
STUDENTS BUT PARTICULARLY.
FIRST HISTORICALLY
DISENFRANCHISED COMMUNITIES WHO
MIGHT NOT HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
OR FRIEND WHO CAN HELP THEM
NAVIGATE -- AFFORDING COLLEGE.
IF OUR HIGHER ED INSTITUTIONS
NOT DISCLOSE ACCURATE
INFORMATION TO OUR STUDENTS AND
PARENTS ON THE COST OF LIVING IN
AN AREA.
THEIR ULTIMATELY LEFT AT THE
MERCY OF THOSE INSTITUTIONS
INFORMATIONS AND STUDENTS WHO
CAN BE MOST HARMED OR LOW INCOME
STUDENTS FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS AND OTHER HISTORICALLY
UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS.
THIS BILL IS A STEP FORWARD TO
HELP OUR STUDENTS AND PARENTS
ACCESS ACCURATE DATA ENSURING
THAT.
WE ARE NOT UNDERESTIMATING OR
OVERESTIMATING THE COSTS COLLEGE.
IS FOR THESE REASONS
RESPECTFULLY ASK BROUGH.
THANK YOU ANY OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
SAYING THAT ANY OF OUR OWN
SURGERY SO THE CAR REPRESENTING
THE CALL SIX IN ASSOCIATION WITH
THE SPONSORS OF THE BILL AND I'M
HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU.
ANYONE IN OPPOSITION.
THERE'S ALWAYS.
ONE NO IT'S FINE KNOW WHAT THIS
OF I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT.
IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
STATE NAME ORGANIZATION AND
PLEASE PROCEED -- ALEX GRAYS
WITH THE ICC REPRESENT THE
PRIVATE NOT FOR PROFIT COLLEGES
IN THE STATE AND WE DON'T HAVE
AYE OPPOSED POSITION AT THIS
TIME WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF
CONVERSATION WITH THE AUTHORS
OFFICE WHEN IT THANK HEIR STAFF
FOR THAT TIME BUT WE DO HAVE.
A FEW CONCERNS I JUST WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT ON THIS BILL -- I
THINK FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE THE
QUESTION FOR US IS IS IS THE
GOAL OF THIS THIS POLICY
CONSISTENCY -- ACCURACY AND WE
DO BELIEVE THAT THIS WOUD
CREATE A CONSISTENT MECHANISM
FOR HOUSEHOLDS HAVE TO CALCULATE
HOUSING BUT WE DON'T BELIEVE.
THAT IT'S GOING TO BE MORE
ACCURATE -- YOU KNOW OUR SCHOOLS
DO WORK HARD TO SET THIS
ACCURATELY WERE REQUIRED UNDER
FEDERAL RAGS TO TO SET IT IS
ACTUALLY POSSIBLE FOR THE ACTUAL
LIVING CONDITION OF WHERE
STUDENTS GO TO SCHOOL -- AND YOU
KNOW I'D LIKE TO PROVIDE TWO
EXAMPLES I THINK HIGHLIGHT ARE
CONCERNED WITH PERHAPS THE THE
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS.
SO.
UNDER THIS BILL -- ALL OUR
INSTITUTIONS IN LA COUNTY WE
HAVE TWENTY FIVE INSTITUTIONS IN
LA COUNTY WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
USE THE SAME HIGH DATA POINT AND
SETTING.
HOUSING A CALC ACOSTA TENANTS
JUST BE CLEAR THIS IS SETTING
BECAUSE WE TEND TO THE CEILING.
THE OUR SCHOOLS CAN PROVIDE
EIGHT UP TO THAT POINT WE CAN'T
PROVIDED BEYOND THAT.
SO THAT WOULD MEAN THAT FOR ALL
OUR SCHOOLS LA COUNTY -- WE
WOULD HAVE TO USE A FIGURE ONE
THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY
FOUR DOLLARS THAT WOULD APPLY TO
OUR SCHOOLS IN MALIBU IN WITH
HERE IN PASADENA AND EVERYWHERE
ELSE IN BETWEEN THE COUNTY -- IN
OUR SCHOOLS ARE CONCERNED THEY
ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT THE LOCAL
HOUSING CONTACTS IN THE REGION
THERE AND THAT THAT NUMBER MIGHT
NOT BE THE MOST ACCURATE MEASURE.
IN A COUNTY'S LARGEST LA.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE -- IN RIVERSIDE
COUNTY THAT FIGURE WOULD BE NINE
HUNDRED EIGHTY SIX DOLLARS FOR A
ONE BEDROOM -- HOUSING AT LAST
YEAR WHICH IS ONE REMEMBER
INSTITUTIONS ARE CURRENTLY USING
A NUMBER OF ONE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED FORTY FIVE DOLLARS -- SO
IN ESSENCE WHAT THIS WOULD DO IS
REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF AID BY
ABOUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN
DOLLARS PER MONTH AT OUR SCHOOLS
COULD PROVIDE.
STUDENTS -- IN THAT AREA -- NET
EFFECT BEING ABOUT FOURTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS LESS AN AIDE PER
YEAR AND YOU KNOW THERE ARE YOU
KNOW WE'RE DECENTRALIZED SYSTEM
SO WE'RE USING A NUMBER
MECHANISM SOME SCHOOLS LOOK AT
SEARS AND JUST UPDATE HAVE BEEN
UPDATING FOR INFLATION.
SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE ARE
ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THE NEW SEARS
DATA WHICH IS GOING TO BE MORE
NUANCED AND LOCALIZED.
OTHERS LOOK AT LOCAL HOUSING
SURVEYS I EVEN OTHER SURVEYS
WITH AND HIDE IT FOR EXAMPLE IN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY TALK ABOUT
SIGNIFICANT VARIATION WITHIN
REGIONS -- YOU KNOW WHETHER
YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT TO A CAMPUS OR
WHETHER YOU'RE IN A MORE RURAL
AREA SO THOSE ARE OUR CONCERNS
WE CERTAINLY YOU KNOW WORK HARD
TO SET THIS IS ACCURATELY AS
POSSIBLE CAUSES IMPLICATIONS FOR
STUDENTS -- BUT THAT WE WE
REALLY BELIEVE THAT THAT THIS IS
GOING TO LIMIT THEIR FLEXIBILITY
TO CONSIDER LOCAL CONTACTS AND
SET THAT NUMBER ACCURATELY
THANKS.
I FELT LIKE YOU FOR SECOND.
ANY OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.
CASINO TO BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS COMMENTS
AND CONCERNS.
SENATOR DRAWS.
YES ASSEMBLY MEMBER THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THIS SOME.
THIS FORWARD COULD YOU RESPOND
TO THE ISSUES RAISED -- ACTUALLY
OUT MY QUESTION WAS A LITTLE BIT
SIMILAR BUT I WAS GONNA ASK YOU
TO GIVE ME A EXAMPLE OF A
CONCRETE WAY IN WHICH THIS
CHANGE.
HOW WOULD THAT ACTUALLY IN A
VERY SPECIFIC WAY HELP?
STUDENTS UP BECAUSE I'LL HEAR
FROM THE OPPOSITION THAT IT
COULD ACTUALLY HURT.
US STUDENTS AND I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE DOING IT WITH MALICE SIR --
TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING WRONG
SO COULD YOU THEY'RE SORT OF
CONNECTED THERE UP STORY THANK
YOU.
WE HAVE DONE VERY THOROUGH
RESEARCH ON MANY INSTITUTIONS
ACROSS THE STATE LOOKING AT THE
UC DATA AND CAL STATE DATA FOR
EXAMPLE HOW WE COMPARE THE UC
COST OF ATTENDANCE FIGURES FOR
OFF AGAIN THIS IS JUST FOR OFF
CAMPUS HOUSING -- OFF HAS OFF
CAMPUS HOUSING COSTS TO YOU SEE
YOU THROUGH THE CSU SYSTEM I
NEAR OR THE SAME COUNTY SAME
REGION -- SO THAT WE CAN FIND
COMPARISONS WE FOUND OUT THAT.
WITHIN THE SEVEN COMPARISONS
THAT WE DID ARGUE LOOK AT
BERKELEY EAST BAY SANTA CRUZ
MONTEREY BAY I RIVERSIDE SAMBAR
DINO SAN DIEGO SAN DIEGO -- TWO
CAMPUSES BURKE CLEAN UC SAN
DIEGO HAVE HIGHER THAN THE CS
USE OFF CAMPUS HOUSING FIGURES
BALL THE OTHER FIVE HAVE LOWER
OFF CAMPUS HOUSING THAN THE
LOCAL CSU'S.
SO WE DO SEE DISCREPANCIES I'M
EVEN BETWEEN THE UC'S AND THE CS
USE THAT ARE LITERALLY JUST
MILES APART FROM EACH OTHER.
AND SO WHAT WE WIND TO IS THAT
WE WANT JUST TO HAVE AN ACCURATE
ASSESSMENTS TO STUDENTS CAN MAKE
THE BEST FINANCIAL -- CHOICE
WHEN IT AFFECTS IT COULD -- YOU
KNOW.
THE FACT HOW MUCH ONCE A TAKE
OUT.
DO THEY NEED TO TAKE OUT MORE
LOANS DO THEY TAKE OUT LESS
LOANS AT THE END OF THE DAY WE
WANT TO ADDRESS STUDENT DEBT WE
DON'T WANT STUDENTS TO INCUR
MORE DEBT THAN NEEDED -- BUT AT
THE SAME TIME WE WANT THEM TO
GET A STRONG FINANCIAL PACKAGE --
THAT COULD HELP THEM COVER THESE
COSTS AND WHEN THEY'RE DECIDING
WHICH INSTITUTION TO GO TO THEY
NEED TO KNOW WHAT WILL MY
FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE COVER WHAT
WHAT I NEED TO PAY.
OUT OF POCKET AND THEN TURNING --
TO STUDENT LOANS AND
UNFORTUNATELY WE THAT'S ALREADY
A CRISIS THAT WE FACE NATION
WIDE SO AFTER DOING THOROUGH
RESEARCH -- WE FOUND OUT THE
FEDERAL HOUSING AND URBAN
DEVELOPMENT HAS CREATED THIS
FAIR MARKET RATE EACH YEAR SINCE
NINETEEN SEVENTY FOUR UPDATING
THAT LIST -- BECAUSE SEVERAL
SERVICES RELY ON THIS HIGH DATA
ALREADY ACROSS THE NATION AND
ITS UPDATED ANNUALLY WITH CENSUS
TRACKS AT ITS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE
TO ANYONE.
I SO YOU DON'T AYE WE HAVE
ACTUALLY SPOKEN -- TO THE
OPPOSITION AT LANES AND WERE
ALWAYS OPEN AND WILLING TO
FIGURE OUT A PATH FORWARD OR IF
THERE ISN'T AN EASY NESS WHERE
THEY FILLED IT STUDENTS WOULD BE
AFFECTED IN ANY WAY THAT IS
CERTAINLY NOT WHAT WE EVER WANT
HAPPY NIGHT.
I FEEL LIKE I RESISTED IT THE
OTHER DAY TEN YEARS AGO I
GRADUATED FROM UC RIVERSIDE --
AND AND THE COST OF HOUSING I
CONTINUES TO BE A NUMBER ONE
CONCERN FOR STUDENTS AND SO ALL
WE'RE LOOKING FORCE TRANSPARENCY.
ACCURACY AND THE CONSISTENCY --
THAT EVERY UNIVERSITY PUBLIC
PRIVATE TAKE [inaudible]
YOU'RE SATISFIED.
OKAY GREAT DOCTOR PAN.
THANK YOU AND CENTER CERVANTES
EMMA YEAH I THANK YOU I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH HERE.
BUT I THINK THAT -- WITH LOOK AT
SEARS IN THESE BASED ON ANALYSIS
I MEAN IT'S DONE TRY ANNUALLY I
THINK THE FACT ALTHOUGH EVEN
THOSE SUPPOSEDLY EVERY THREE
YEARS THE LAST ONES LIKE TEN
YEARS SO THAT.
THAT'S A BIT DISTURBING THE
TERMS OF SAYING THAT THAT SHOULD
BE USED AS THE MAIN BENCHMARK
WHICH I THINK IS. ONE OF THE
REASONS FOR THIS BILL.
HIDE IS UPDATE MORE RECENTLY BUT
ONE HEARING FOR THE OPPOSITION
IT MAY NOT BE GRANULAR ENOUGH
RATES OF THE REGION'S VERY LARGE --
AND YOU'RE AVERAGING OUT THEN
THE PROBLEM IS IS THAT DEPENDING
ON WHERE THE CAMPUS IS A BABY AN
AREA WHERE HOUSING IS MUCH MORE
COSTLY THAN THE AVERAGE AND
OTHER AREA WHAT.
SO -- YES -- SO I GUESS MY
QUESTION IS IS THAT -- YOU KNOW
GIVEN WHAT THE OPPOSITION'S
REYES I KNOW YOU'VE WORKED VERY
HARD ON THIS BILL I THINK.
YOU KNOW HOW THE TIDE VARIETY
MUCH MORE RECENT INFORMATION IT
SOUNDS LIKE IT'S OF PERHAPS
STILL A BETTER BASS LINE.
DO YOU SEE FOR EXAMPLE -- AT AT
IN YOUR BILL PERHAPS.
TREATING SOME KIND OF
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE CAMPUS TO BE
ABLE TO IN THAT BECAUSE THAT YOU
WRITE THESE IT TRIES FINANCIAL
AID A BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS --
AND IN TERMS OF BEGAN TRYING
FRIDAY TRANSPARENCY ACCURATE
INFORMATION -- SOME ABILITY FOR
CAMPUSES TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
USING THE MOST RECENT SEARS TO
THE HEAD OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
THAT THAT THAT MIGHT GIVE A
BETTER IDEA WHAT'S LOCALLY I I'M
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
DEAL THE GRANULARITY ISSUE THAT
WAS -- I THINK SORT OF RAISED BY
THE OPPOSITION AND BY ALSO
APPRECIATE THAT WELL CERTAINLY
THE SURVEY MAY SOUND LIKE IT'S
WHAT IF YOU'RE ONLY DOING IT
EVERY THREE YEARS THE HOUSING
MARKET CAN CHANGE A LOT THREE
YEARS SAYS THE LAST ONE WAS
ALMOST TEN YEARS EVEN THEY
SUPPOSED TO DO.
IT EVERY FEW YEARS IT DOESN'T
SOUND TO ME TO BE VERY VERY
RELIABLE AND SO WE JUST DOING A
PERCENTAGE ADJUSTMENT.
THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE AN
ACTOR REFLECTIONS GOING ON THE
HOUSING MARKET IT'S SO.
I'D MAYBE CAN SPEAK TO FOR YOU
SEE.
DO YOU SEE THE BILL GOING AND
YELLED.
AS A MOVES FORWARD THAT --
MAKING ANY SORT OF WIGGLE ROOM
THERE ARE ARE NOT I'M JUST
CURIOUS WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE
GIVEN WHAT THE EXPENSE SPECS.
BY THE OPPOSITION HERE NO THANK
YOU SENATOR SO MUCH SO WE
CERTAINLY -- WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE OPPOSITION AND IF
THERE'S A WAY FOR WE CAN ADDED A
PROVISION LANGUAGE AND THAT
WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL.
BETTER IN ADDRESSING THAT
GRANULAR PORTION -- WE ARE
ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN.
CERTAINLY OPEN TO THAT ONLY
BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS
IS GOING TO POSITIVELY AFFECT
EVERY STUDENT WHEN THEY'RE
DECIDING WHICH CHOICES TO MAKE.
OUR FOR THEIR FUTURE AND SO WE
ARE THAT IS MY FAITH -- MY
COMMITMENTS. TO THE BODY TODAY
OKAY AND AN APPRECIATE SO YOU
BRING THIS BILL FOR BECAUSE I
THINK THAT YOU'RE DRESSING UP
THE REAL PROBLEM WHERE SPECIALLY
IF THERE'S NOT.
WE TALK ABOUT ACCURACY AND SO
FORTH -- IF.
THE SURVEY NEEDS TO BE DONE MUCH
MORE CONSISTENTLY TO WE'RE GOING
TO USE THAT AND EVEN AS AN
ADJUSTER SO -- WITH THAT -- I
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMITMENT TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON MAYBE
REFINING SOME OF THESE ASPECTS
OF BEHALF IN WAS BUILT
APPROPRIATE TIME.
THANK YOU CENTER PAN ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS THERE MCGUIRE PAN.

VOTES BUT WE WILL KEEP IT ON
CALL FOR OTHER MEMBERS.

ACCESS TO HEALTHY PLANT BASED
OPTIONS FOR LOW INCOME.
COMMUNITIES AND THREE
ACCOMMODATE STUDENTS WITH

MINUTES BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY.
GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN LEYVA AND
HIS TEAM MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE I'M JENNIFER
LE BAR WITH SAN FRANCISCO
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
I'VE SPENT THE LAST TWENTY ONE
YEARS OPERATING URBAN SCHOOL
FOOD SERVICE SYSTEMS IN
CALIFORNIA.
THE SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAMS PROVIDE
A RELIABLE AND MUCH NEEDED
SOURCE OF HEALTHY MEALS FOR
CHILDREN.
DUE TO LOW REIMBURSEMENT RATE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS OFTEN ONLY HAVE
A DOLLAR TWENTY FIVE TO PAY FOR
THE ENTREE FRUIT VEGETABLE IN
MILK THAT WE MUST SERVE TO OUR
STUDENTS.
DUE TO THIS WE ARE NOT ALWAYS
ABLE TO PROVIDE THE TYPES OF
FOODS THAT ARE CULTURALLY
APPROPRIATE. FOR EXAMPLE WE CAN
AFFORD TO PROVIDE MILK
ALTERNATIVES AS A CHOICE FOR
STUDENTS AND ONE OF VAST NUMBER
OF YOUR STUDENTS ARE LACTOSE
INTOLERANT WE ARE HIS MISSING
THE MARK.
AB FOUR SEVEN NINE WOULD HELP
OFFSET MANY OF THE SCHOOL FOOD
SERVICE EXPENSES INCURRED WITH
OFFERING MORE PLANT BASED
OPTIONS.
AND IT WOULD ALLOW SCHOOLS TO
CONTINUE TO EXPAND THESE MEALS
WHICH ARE GOOD FOR BOTH THE
CHILDREN'S MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
HEALTH AND WELL BEING.
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU
TO SUPPORT AB FOUR SEVEN NINE
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.

THE COMMITTEE JUST OLD FILLED
WITH THE CALIFORNIA CATTLEMEN'S
ASSOCIATION -- IN ADDITION TO
THE CALIFORNIA CATTLEMEN'S
ASSOCIATION.
ALSO HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF
WESTERN NINETY DURING AND
ORGANIZATIONS ARE NEUTRAL IN THE
BILL WE DON'T HAVE A POSITION
THANKS TO THE WORK OF THE
ASSEMBLY EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
AND THE AUTHOR FOR TAKING
AMENDMENTS IN THE FIRST POLICY
COMMITTEE TO ADDRESS OUR
CONCERNS.
WE DO BELIEVE HOWEVER IS
IMPORTANT BE ON RECORD THAT WE
CONTINUE TO HAVE CONCERNS WITH
AMENDMENTS MADE FOLLOWING FIRST
POLICY COMMITTEE.
THAT WE WERE MADE WITHOUT OUR
KNOWLEDGE OR CONSERVE OUR
CONSULTATION.
HELLO PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS TO
FUND IMPLEMENTATION.
WITH THIS COULD RESULT IN A ROLL
OUT OF A PROGRAM THAT IS BIASED
AND PROMOTED BY UNSUBSTANTIATED
INFORMATION BY INDIVIDUALS AND
ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE.
MOTIVES OTHER THAN PROMOTING THE
BEST ATTRITION FOR SCHOOL AGE
CHILDREN.
ORGANIZATIONS ARE SUPPORTIVE OF
CHOICE.
HOWEVER WE ALSO SIX PROMOTE A
BALANCED DIET INCLUDES PROPER
NUTRITION BASED SCIENCE.
WRITERS AND DAIRY PRODUCERS ARE
CRITICAL IN PROVIDING THE
PROTEIN VITAMINS AND CALCIUM OR
SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN REQUIRED
DAILY BASIS TO EXCEL IN IN
SCHOOL WE APPRECIATE THE ABILITY
TO CONTACT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER.
IN BETWEEN THEIR OPPOSITION
SEEING THAT WILL BRING BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS CONCERNS.
SEEING AND WE HAVE A MOTION SIR
A SENATOR WILK.
I'M CO AUTHOR THE BILL'S SAW BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY BUT
CAN YOU CAN YOU DRESS THE OF THE
CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY MISTER --
FILLED HER I WE HAD WORKED
TOGETHER AND WE HAD TAKEN
AMENDMENTS SO THAT AG WE COULD
ALLEVIATE SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS.
MY GOAL IS NOT TO REPLACE ME AS
I HAD DISCUSSED WITH THEM MY
MICHAEL SURELY WISH TO ENSURE
THAT SCHOOLS ARE OFFERING.
CHOICES TO STUDENTS SO THAT WE
HAVE -- GENERATIONS OF YOUNG
ADULTS GROWING BECOMING BETTER
INFORMED ABOUT.
NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND ALSO BEING
AWARE OF FOOD CHOICES -- BECAUSE
ESPECIALLY IN MANY OF OUR POOR
COMMUNITIES STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE
THE BENEFIT OF THAT -- AND AND
THIS IS WHERE PRIMARILY THIS
BILL IS TARGETING.
AND AMONGST OTHER THINGS THAT IT
I THINK HELPS IN THE LONG TERM
ADDRESS.
AND AND SO WHEN SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT WERE.
ADDRESSED AND DISCUSSED SINCE
THEN I I DO WANNA SAY BELIEVE
WE'VE BEEN AND CONTINUED
COMMUNICATION -- BUT I GUESS BUT
SOME OF THE LANGUAGE HAVING TO
DO WITH.
VARIOUS SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS ON
BEHALF OF THE BILL -- WHO MAY
RUN CONTRARY TO SOME OF THE
INTERESTS?
THAT THAT THAT'S CONTRIBUTING TO
SOME OF THE CONCERNS
[inaudible]
CARE.
THAT'S I HOPE I ANSWERED YOUR
QUESTION.
NOT REALLY -- SO HE SAID THAT HE
SO IT WAS IMMEDIATELY BE MORE
SPECIFIC QUE THANKS.
YOU CAN.
END UP HAVING MANY ORGANIZATIONS
THAT SUPPORT.
A BILL.
AND SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS
INVOLVED MAY BE IN DIRECT
CONTRAST THING VIEWPOINT.
WITH FORMER OPPOSITION.
I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE CONCERN
IS COMING FROM NOT KNOWING
EXACTLY WHAT.
SOME OF THE SET UP OF WITH THE
POTENTIAL PRIVATE FUNDS BEING
USED. TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
THIS BILL -- I THINK THERE'S
CONCERN THAT WELL HOW WILL THESE
FUNDS BE USED AND WHAT.
DOCTOR AND WILL THEY BE
UTILIZING THAT IN SCHOOLS EIGHT
THAT'S WHERE THE CONCERN IS
COMING FROM.
WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN MAY I
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHO EVEN
MAKES THAT DECISION OF SOME WAS
A PRIVATELY FUNDED FOR SCHOOLS
HOW DOES HOW DOES THAT EVEN WORK.
IF WHO MAKES THE DECISION.
BECAUSE IT.
CAN YOU CAN YOU.
COME TO THE MIKE THERE YEAH.
A LOOK AT A YOU WHO ELSE WILL BE
LOOKING.
SHISEIDO.
YOUR GOOD IT'S ON THANK YOU.
SO -- OUR UNDERSTANDING IS IS
THE MAN AND WHAT WAS PUT IN TO
ALLOW -- PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS
AND INDIVIDUALS TO PROVIDE FUNDS
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
OKAY TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM.
I THINK OUR CONCERN IS AND I
THINK WE'VE WE'VE EXPRESSED THE
CITY OFFERS OFFICE SENSES
AMENDMENTS WERE MADE.
THAT THERE'S REALLY NO GUARANTEE.
THAT THERE IS WON'T BE -- YOU
KNOW ANY ANY BIAS OR INFORMATION
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY NUTRITION
BASED -- THAT THAT WILL BE USED
TO PROMOTE THAT MOVING FORWARD --
BEYOND -- YOU KNOW THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROGRAM IN
THIS PRIVATE FUNDS UTILIZED --
IT'S IT'S JUST A VERY BROAD
PROVISION THAT'S IN THE BILL
THAT SIMPLY ALLOWS THEM TO
ACCEPT PRIVATE FUNDS TO
REIMBURSE SCHOOLS.
THAT CHOOSE -- TO TO USE -- TO
USE THIS OPTION SO I GUESS PART
OF IT IS ALSO JUST THAT THE FOR
THE FACT THAT -- THE PROVISION
IS VERY BROAD WITH REALLY NO
CONSTRAINTS OR FOR OR LIMITING
FRAME FOR LIVING AROUND THE
FRAMEWORK.
THAT PROVIDES US WITH WITH THAT
CONCERN MOVING MOVING FORWARD IF
THE AUTHOR SO INCLINED WOULD YOU
BE WILLING TO CONTINUE HAVE
DISCUSSIONS ON THAT YEAH I THINK
WE HAVE AND WE'VE WE'VE WE'VE
WE'VE BEEN IN CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE AUTHORS OFFICE SENSE ABOUT
ARC THAT CONCERNED -- SO FAR
THERE'S NOT BEEN A DESIRE TO
ADDRESS THAT CONCERN BUT IF
THERE WAS AT SOME POINT -- WE
WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY WILLING TO
SIT DOWN AS WE HAVE IN THE PAST
WE HAVE BEEN.
OPERATING AND GO SHOOTING GOOD
FAITHON THIS BILL AND SO I
THINK YOU KNOW WE'RE OPEN TO
CONTINUE TO DO THAT.
THANK YOU MISTER VICE CHAIR I DO
BELIEVE THAT IT'S C. D. E. THAT
WOULD MAKE THE DECISION.
YEAH CAT IF THAT WOULD HELP YEAH
JUSTIN SAID THAT OKAY.
GOOD ASSEMBLY SENATOR DRUG SO.
YEAH I I'M NOT SURE HOW TO IF
THERE'S A FIX FOR THIS BUT ONE
THING THAT THE GENTLEMAN SAID
THAT DID.
GET MY ATTENTION IS THAT DOES
THIS BECOME A BIAS -- YOU KNOW
AGAINST OTHER FOODS -- AND I
WOULD BE REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT IT'S ONE THING TO
ACCOMMODATE AND PROVIDE CHOICES
BECAUSE I KNOW WHEN I GO TO
CERTAIN GROCERY STORES AND MY
COMMUNITY.
WE ARE NOT PROVIDED THE CHOICES
AND FRANKLY I DO A MIX OF THINGS
YOU KNOW IT'S A TRY TO GET MORE.
VEGETABLES YEAR IN THERE AND ALL
THAT BUT I DO GET A MIX UP I
LIKE THE CHOICES AND SO I WOULD
WANT THIS TO BECOME THAT WERE.
SLOWLY MOVING IN WITH CERTAIN
FOODS AND A TO THE DETRIMENT OF
NOT OFFERING OTHER FOODS SO AND
I THAT.
COULD HAPPEN I MEAN THERE'S VERY --
SERIOUS OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
FOR EXAMPLE A BUDGETARY AND BE
GOOD AND THEN MEAT EATERS SO.
THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE BUT I I
APPRECIATE THAT.
THIS IS ALSO ADDRESSING
RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL ISSUES
AND CONCERNS SO.
I'M FOR IT BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE
WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO IN THE
OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE NINE
OTHER FOODS -- IN THIS PROCESS.
THANK YOU SO.
LET ME LET ME JUST.
TRY.
TO GIVE A AS AS SPACE BRIEF OF A
RESPONSE.
PART OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
ACHIEVE WITH THIS IS CHANGE A
CULTURE.
BECAUSE WHAT'S BEEN
INSTITUTIONALIZED OVER TIME.
ARE CERTAIN TYPES OF FOODS THAT
HAVE BEEN -- SUBSIDIZED BY
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
AND HAVE BEEN INSTITUTIONALIZED
IN THE PROCESS.
NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
A LARGE GROWING POPULATION SOME
OF THOSE EFFORTS NEEDED TO BE
PUT INTO PLACE.
BUT THE REALITY IS THAT ONCE
THAT HAPPENS.
THEN OVER TIME SOME THINGS ARE
NEGLECTED.
AND SO THIS IS AN EFFORT TO TRY
TO JUST DEMONSTRATE THAT THERE
ARE OTHER OPTIONS.
AND FOR CHILDREN SCHOOL AGE
STUDENTS TO BECOME BETTER
INFORMED ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE
CONSUMING.
IT'S NOT EVEN FORCING THEM. TO
EAT IT IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO
THEY DON'T HAVE.
TO IT'S BASICALLY.
FOR REQUIRING SCHOOLS AT LEAST
OFFER THE OPTION.
SO THAT THEN STUDENTS CAN BE
BETTER INFORMED AND KNOW FOR
THEMSELVES IF THEY WANT TO
PARTICIPATE OR NOT.
THAT'S REALLY THE GOAL NOW.
PRIVATELY FUNDING SOMETHING WE
CONSTANTLY DO THAT WE CONSTANTLY
GET INTO PUBLIC PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIPS.
IN ORDER BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO
MEET THE NEEDS THAT.
OF DIFFERENT PROGRAMS AND SO WE
USUALLY SET UP A PILOT PROJECT
PROJECT AND WE GARNER PRIVATE
SUPPORT SO THAT WE CAN HELP.
MOVE OR ADVANCE A CERTAIN ISSUE
FORWARD THIS IS.
THIS IS BASICALLY DOING THAT
WHAT'S ALLOWING FOR THAT TO
HAPPEN.
MINOR OFFER SOMETHING AS AN
OPERATIONAL POINT OF VIEW OUR
JOB IS TO FEED.
STUDENTS AND IF WE ARE CREATING
A SYSTEM THAT DOES NOT SATISFY
THE NEEDS OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
THEN THAT'S WHEN WE'RE FAILING
AND SO RIGHT NOW WE STRUGGLE TO
DO THAT INTO OLD EMILY WE'RE
STILL GOING TO BE PROVIDING FOOD
THAT EVERY CHILD WANTS IN THIS
IS ASSISTING US TO MEET THE MARK
WHERE WERE MISSING IT.
AND SO. TO SAY THAT THIS WILL
SUPPLANT OR REMOVE OTHER TYPES
OF PROTEIN SOURCES THAT'S NOT IN
OUR BEST INTERESTS IN IT'S NOT
IN OUR STUDENTS BEST NTEREST.
BUT WE NEED TO ADD TO THAT AND
SO THAT WE CAN DO THOSE
CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE.
ITEMS FOR OUR STUDENTS TO MEET
THEIR NEEDS.
I'D LIKE TO ACT AS ONE THING THE
PENDULUM HAS BEEN SWUNG ALL THE
WAY TO ONE SIDE WE'RE JUST
TRYING TO GET IT TO COME.
IT SOMEWHERE EVEN NEAR THE
MIDDLE [inaudible]
SO.
YOU KNOW AS A VEGAN FOR TWENTY
NINE YEARS.
WE ARE MORE OR LESS
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST BY NOT
HAVING FOOD CHOICES SO IT'S JUST
GIVING PEOPLE CHILDREN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THAT CHOICE
AND TO MAYBE START OFF.
ON THE RIGHT FOOT THAT THEIR
PARENTS WANT THEM TO HAVE THAT
THE DOCTOR WANTS THEM TO HAVE SO
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR RUSSELL GOOD OKAY
CENTER PAN.
THANK YOU SUGGEST JUST TO
CLARIFY THE PRIVATE FUNDING
WOULD GO TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION AND IT'S ONLY TO HELP
PAY FOR THE PLANT BASED DIET
IT'S NOT TO FIGHT AND I THINK
EDUCATION OR OTHER TYPES OF I'M
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
EXACTLY WE SAID PRIVATE FUNDING
WHAT.
EXACTLY ARE YOU YES BY THE
FUNDING FOR IT BECAUSE I
UNDERSTAND IN THE BILL WERE
CREATING A FUND TO HELP.
SUPPORT AND THEY HAVE SCHOOL
THIS XP ABLE TO PAY FOR PLANT
BASED.
FOODS BECAUSE THEY MAY COST A
LITTLE MORE FOR SOME REASON --
SO IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THAT
CORRECT IS IN THE THE MONEY
DOESN'T GET ANYTHING ELSE.
RIGHT.
POLICE THE CELL.
NO THE THE WELL THE THE PROGRAM
DOES HAVE A GRANT PROGRAM FOR
EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES AND RECIPES
AND EIGHT SO THAT AND THAT
SINISTER BY C. D. E. S. OKAY.
AND C. E. WOULD HAVE THE CHOICE
TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE FUNDS
[inaudible]
I YES I WOULD JUST YES I DON'T
HAVE A PRESCRIPTION IT'S NOT
PRESCRIBE WHAT MONEY THEY CAN
TAKE OVER NOT SO.
IT WOULD BE THEIR CHOICE OKAY I
MEAN I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING IS IS THAT -- CD NEEDS TO
HAVE THE ABILITY.
TO IF YOU RECEIVING FIRE FUNDS
TO MAKE JUDGMENTS ABOUT IS IT
ASKING THE PART OF EDUCATION TO
FOR FORD LET'S SAY I DON'T
THOUGH I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE
DESIRE OF YOUR BILL OR TO
SPONSORS BUT IF SOMEONE SAYS
WELL I'M WILLING TO GIVE A
MILLION DOLLARS.
TO SEE E. SO THAT EVERY SO THAT
STUDENTS SINCE PARTICULAR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS OR SOMETHING OR TOLD
THAT.
YOU KNOW MEAT IS POISON.
SO IT'S NOT CONDITIONAL OKAY
THAT THAT'S IF IF I'M UNDERSTAND
OKAY YOUR CONCERN BY IT'S
ANOTHER WITHOUT CD NEEDS ABILITY
TO BE ABLE TO SAY THIS THE
FOREVER PROGRAM WERE EXTEND OUR
FOR MIKE IT TAKING ACCEPTING
FUNDING FROM AND THEN GRANTING.
TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS IS GONNA BE
MEET THEIR STANDARDS FOR
ACCURACY AND AND AND SO FORTH I
MEAN THAT'S THAT'S THE NIGHT
STATE COULD BE COMPELLED TO TAKE
EXCEPT FUNDS.
AND THEN HAVE TO TEACH STUDENTS
SOMETHING THAT'S INACCURATE THAT
THE CITY WOULD NOT VIEW IS
APPROPRIATE OR ACCURATE.
I THINK THAT'S RIGHT.
I AM PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHAT YOU
INTEND I JUST ONE OF THE I THINK
THAT'S THE ISSUE THAT SEEMS TO
BE FLOATING OUT THERE IT'S ONE
BE SURE THAT'S THAT'S CLEAR
RIGHT.
YES CD HAS THE DISCRETION RIGHT
SO THEY CAN ACCEPT THE FUNDS
THEY CANNOT ACCEPT THE FUNDS IF
IF ONE THE CONDITIONS OF THE
FUND IS.
TO PROVIDE AN ACCURATE
INFORMATION IN THEIR VIEW IT'S
AN ACCURATE SO THAT THEY CAN
DECLINE DAY WILL BE ABLE TO
CLIMB THAT.
YES OKAY ALL RIGHT RIGHT DOES
THAT AND I GUESS -- I WOULD ASK --
PDD TWEENER AS IS IS THAT YOUR
UNDERSTANDING AS WELL IN THAT
YES I THINK THAT YOU AND I
SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED THIS
EARLIER AND I MY APOLOGIES I
THINK IT AGAIN IT'S NOT. FOR THE
NECESSARILY THE THE I
REIMBURSABLE OF OF OF THE
PRODUCT ITSELF.
IT'S THE OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE
BILL IT'S THE ADVERTISING ITS
THE EDUCATION THAT GOES ALONG
WITH THAT SO I THINK IN IN THE
EXAMPLE THAT YOU PROVIDED -- YOU
KNOW AS IS PART OF THE DONATION
THAT IS TO CD THAT COMES WITH.
YOU KNOW A TYPE OF PROMOTIONAL
ACT YOU KNOW MATERIAL OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT IT'S JUST
NOT SPELLED OUT TO I GUESS OUR
TO RELIEVE THE CONCERNS THAT WE
HAVE THAT THERE MIGHT BE -- YOU
KNOW INFORMATION THAT'S THAT'S
DISTRIBUTED WITH THAT PRODUCT
WHICH AGAIN THE INTENT I
UNDERSTAND IS TO PAY FOR THE
REIMBURSEMENT OF THE MEAL BUT
BECAUSE THE BILL GOES BEYOND
THAT.
THAT'S REALLY THE HEART OF OUR
CONCERN I AND I APOLOGIZE FOR
THAT -- OKAY BUT THAT BUT I
THINK AS THE AS I THE AUTHORS
ANSWERED.
CITY HAS THE DISCRETION
THEREFORE TO TO EXERCISE THAT
DISCRETION WHETHER TO ACCEPT THE
FUNDS AIR.
IF THEY FEEL THAT WHATEVER
EDUCATION ADVERTISING GOES WITH
THE SUIT IS AN APPROPRIATE OR IS
INACCURATE.
THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO SAY NO WE
DON'T ACCEPT THOSE FUNDS BECAUSE
WE CAN'T ACCEPT THOSE CONDITIONS
[inaudible]
NICE OKAY.
THANK YOU.
YES.
I DON'T WANT TO ELABORATE THE
POINT BUT IF WE WERE GONNA WRITE
BILLS WITH ALL THE INTENSE OF
WHAT WE DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO
DO I THINK THE BILLS WOULD BE.
OF THE VERY PRESCRIPTIVE AND
VERY LONG AND SO THAT SO.
THIS IS NOT TO DISPARAGE IN
ANYWAY BUT IT'S JUST TO SAY THAT
I APPRECIATE WHERE THE CONCERN
IS COMING FROM BUT THAT WAS NOT
THE INTENT.
AND AND AND CITY.
IT THE BILL DOES NOT PRESCRIBE.
WHAT TO DO -- EIGHT EIGHT ALLOW
CD TO TAKE PRIVATE FUNDING IT'S
PERMISSIVE YEAH.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER THANK YOU -- I
THINK EVERYBODY FOR THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION AND I KNOW THAT YOU
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THESE
ISSUES -- DO WE HAVE A MOTION.
THANKYOU A SEVEN MEMBER WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
I RESPECTFULLY AFTER THAT
CONVERSATION I JUST RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR A VOTE I I THINK.
I THINK WE ALL SEE THE VALUE IN
THIS AND I THINK SOMETIMES WHEN
WE ARE PROPOSING SOMETHING A
LITTLE DIFFERENT THAT REQUIRES A
LITTLE BIT OF CHANGE.
IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT OF
DISCOMFORT TO GET USED.
TO THE NEW AND AND SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE WITH THAT THANK YOU
SIMPLY MEMBERS THE BILL HAS BEEN
MOVED BY SENATOR TO RAZA MADAM
SECRETARY PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
ITEM FOR A. B. FOUR SEVEN NINE

UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE STATE OF

THE MOST INTELLIGENT AND DRIVEN
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS WORK AND
THE FLEA AND TIRELESSLY TO NOT
ONLYATTEND IN SUCH AN
INSTITUTION O HIGHER EDUCATION.
BUT GRADUATED FROM INSTITUTION
OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
THE REALITY IS AND DOCUMENTS
STUDENTS FACE REAL DAHLE
CHALLENGES BEFORE THEY EVEN
REACH THEIR ADULT YEARS. FOR
MANY STUDENTS ATTENDING COLLEGE
IS NOT A MATTER OF DESIRE OR
WILLINGNESS TO PUT IN THE EFFORT.
BUT A MATTER FINANCIAL COSTS
MILLION DOCUMENTS STUDENTS
WITHIN THE WITHIN THE CITY AND
BALANCE SCHOOLWORK INTERNSHIPS
FELLOWSHIPS VOLUNTEER WORK STUDY
AND A JOB TO BE ABLE TO SUSTAIN
THEMSELVES THROUGHOUT THEIR
COLLEGE YEARS.
AND FOR MANY OF THEM THE CUT THE
MONEY THEY RECEIVE IS STILL NOT
ENOUGH AND THAT'S BECAUSE
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS MANY TIMES
ARE ALSO FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS WHO HAVE THE
RESPONSIBILITY. TO CONTRIBUTE
AND HELP SUSTAIN THEIR FAMILIES
BACK HOME.
THESE ARE STUDENTS WHO USE THEIR
SUMMER BREAKS TO GO BACK HOME
JOIN THEIR PARENTS IN THE FIELDS.
WORKING FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET
WHO TAKE CARE OF HER SIBLINGS
AND MENTOR THEM LIKE THEIR OWN
BECAUSE HER PARENTS HAVE TO TAKE
ON A DOUBLE SHIPPED. TO BE ABLE

JEFF PERFECT BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE
READY.
YOUR MANAGER OF RED BUTTONS
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS RAY FOR
NOW I'M THE DIRECTOR OF
EDUCATION FOR THE CALIFORNIA
CATHOLIC CONFERENCE.
AND WE ARE OPPOSED TO A. B..
SIX TWO FOUR OUR OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL IS VERY SPECIFIC.
THE INCLUSION OF ANYMORE HOTLINE
NUMBERS REGARDLESS HOW WERE THEY
WILL DIMINISH THE EFFECTIVENESS
OF THE ONLY NUMBER.
THAT IS NOW REQUIRED ENSUED
IDENTIFICATION CARDS FROM
SEVENTH GRADE THROUGH COLLEGE
WHICH IS THIS IS THIS WHO IS THE
NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION
LIFELINE.
NOT EVERY IMPORTANT ASSISTANCE
NUMBER CAN FIT ON STOOD NINETIES.
WITH EACH ADDITIONAL NUMBER
REQUIRED AND STUDENT ID'S ALL
BECOME SMALLER.
AT SOME POINT USELESS.
THEREFORE THE FOCUS SHOULD
REMAIN ON PREVENTING YOUTH
SUICIDE.
SUICIDE AMONG OUR TEENS AND
COLLEGE STUDENTS IS AN
UNPARALLELED NATIONAL CRISIS.
SUICIDE RATES AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE
HAVE ALMOST DOUBLED IN SEVENTEEN
YEARS.
SUICIDE IS NOW THE SECOND
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR THOSE
AGES.
TEN TO FOURTEEN NEARLY ONE IN
FIVE CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS HAVE SERIOUSLY
CONSIDERED ATTEMPTING SUICIDE.
9% HAVE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ONE OR
MORE TIMES. ONE IN TWELVE
COLLEGE STUDENTS HAVE MADE A
SUICIDE PLAN.
EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS TO MUST
BE PROTECTED.
ESPECIALLY WHEN MOST WEAK AND
VULNERABLE.
HAVING ONLY THE NATIONAL SUICIDE
PREVENTION LIFELINE ON ID'S
HELPS PREVENT IMMINENT EATH
AMONG OUR YOUTH WHO ARE AT RISK
OF KILLING THEMSELVES.
THAT'S WHY THE SINGLE NUMBER WAS
PLACED ON STUDENT ID'S WITH
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THE
LEGISLATURE AND WITH UNIVERSAL
SUPPORT AMONG CALIFORNIA'S
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOL
COMMUNITIES.
THIS ONE NUMBER.
GIVE STUDENTS CONTEMPLATING
SUICIDE AND OTHER STUDENTS WHO
KNOW CLASSMATES THAT MAY BE
DOING SO.
A DEDICATED RESOURCE TO
IMMEDIATELY ACCESS FOR CRITICAL
SUPPORT IN MOMENTS OF CRISIS.
AB SIX TWO FOUR WOULD DETRACT
FROM THIS VITAL LIFESAVING
RESOURCE.
UNDER THIS BILL TWO OR THREE
ADDITIONAL NUMBERS WOULD BE
MANDATED TO BE PLACED ON STUDENT
ID'S.
ALTHOUGH THIS MEASURE HAS THE
BEST INTENTIONS.
IT WOULD UNDERMINE OUR STATE'S
COMMITMENT TO PREVENT YOUTH
SUICIDE.
AND WE ASK FOR YOUR NO VOTE.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
YOUR MEMBERS MY OWN.
IF.
YOU'RE MEMBERS A THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPPOSE -- AB
SIX TWENTY FOUR MY NAME IS --
GREG BIRDS WITH THE CALIFORNIA
FAMILY COUNCIL.
WE APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
CHANGING THIS BILL FROM WHEN IT
WAS FIRST INTRODUCED.
BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME SERIOUS
PROBLEMS WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
FIRST ORGANIZATION A JET OF
CHECKS TO THE AUTHOR GIVING A
PRIVATE ORGANIZATION THAT
SUPPORTS HIS CAMPAIGN PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
THE BILL OF THE TO USE THIS LAW
TO PROMOTE ITSELF TO MILLIONS OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS AND
COLLEGE STUDENTS.
YOU HAVE TO ADMIT THIS BILL WILL
GIVE A LOT OF FREE ADVERTISING
TO ORGANIZATIONS LIKE PLANNED
PARENTHOOD.
THAT IS GOING TO MAKE OTHER
PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS JEALOUS I
CAN IMAGINE IN THE COMING YEARS
MANY PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS
GIVING MONEY TO POLITICIANS.
IN HOPES THAT THEIR PRODUCT HOT
LINES GET MANDATED IN THE PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
THIS IS NOT AN APPROPRIATE USE
OF GOVERNMENT RESOURCES WE ALSO
BELIEVE THIS BILL VIOLATES THE
FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF PRO LIFE
STUDENTS WITHIN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BY FORCING THEM TO DISPLAY
AROUND THEIR NECKS OR HOLD IN
THEIR POCKETS AND ID CARD THAT
ADVERTISES FOR ABORTION SERVICES.
IN CONTRADICTION TO THEIR
SINCERELY HELD BELIEFS.
AND LASTLY THIS BILL STILL
COMPELS PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO
COMMUNICATE A GOVERNMENT
SPONSORED MESSAGE BY REQUIRING
THEM TO PRINT THE NUMBERS OF
PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS ON STUDENT
NINETIES.
THE SUPREME COURT RECENTLY
INVALIDATED THE CALIFORNIA FACT
ACT FOR THE SAME TYPE OF
GOVERNMENT COMPELLED SPEECH
CALLING IT A VIOLATION OF FIRST
AMENDMENT.
AND THIS BILL IS NO DIFFERENT.
I APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THE
AUTHOR REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT
THAT RELIGIOUS PRIVATE SCHOOLS --
DON'T HAVE TO PRINT THE SEXUAL
AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH HOTLINE
ON ID CARDS HE RECOGNIZED A
COMPELLING A RELIGIOUS SCHOOL TO
PROMOTE A MESSAGE IT DISAGREES
WITH.
VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION.
BUT ALL THE GOVERNMENT COMPELLED
SPEECH VIOLATES THE FIRST
AMENDMENT.
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE SPEECH
BEING COMPELLED AGREED YOU CAN
WRAP IT UP YOUR TIME'S UP.
A AGREES OR CONFLICTS WITH THE
PRIVATE MESSAGE OF THE VALUES OF
THE ORGANIZATION PRIVATE
ORGANIZATIONS ARE PRIVATE FOR A
REASON.
THE CONTENT THEY GIVE TO THEIR
STUDENTS REGARDING MORAL ISSUES
A BEHAVIOR COME FROM THEM ALONE
AND THE STATE SHOULD NOT BE
MANDATING THESE MESSAGES ON
PRIVATE SCHOOLS OR ANY OTHER
PRIVATE ORGANIZATION AND FOR
THESE RINK YOU.
WE OPPOSE THANK YOU FOR BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE I JUST
WANT TO SAY THAT BUT I FIND IT
SOMEWHAT -- OFFENSIVE THAT THE
OPPOSITION DOESN'T THINK THAT
BEING RAPED IS LIFE ALTERING AND
I KNOW THAT WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE
COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE IT DOES
IN YOUR LIFE BUT I WOULD ARGUE
THAT A PIECE OF YOU AND A PIECE
OF YOUR SOUL DIES.
WHEN YOU ARE RATE SO I DO NOT
THINK ADDING THIS NUMBER TO THE
BACK OF THE CARD WOULD DO
ANYTHING BUT HELP PEOPLE WITHOUT
IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM
YES SENATOR PAM?
I THANK YOU AND US -- GABRIEL I
WANT THANK YOU FRAME THIS PIECE
OF LEGISLATION FOR NOW I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS LEGISLATION --
HIDE I DO HERE -- A LITTLE BIT
WHAT THE OPPOSITION IS SAYING IN
TERMS OF I THINK THAT THE PRICE
PERHAPS SEVENTY THREE OR FOUR
NUMBERS BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY
HERE THIS COMMITTEE THAT.
I A WOOD BEES DRAWING CONCERNED
IF PEOPLE WANT TO PUT EVEN MORE
NUMBERS ON THE CARD JUST GIVEN
THE SIZE AND DO I UNDERSTAND I I
THINK -- THAT -- ON ON THAT WHY
PRECIADO THE EMPHASIS ON THE
SUICIDE HOTLINE EIGHT THEY DO
THINK HAVING. THREE OR FOUR
THAT'S BY MAX'S THAT'S KINDA
MAXING OUT WERE STAND AT THIS
REALLY GETS TO BE TOO LAW SO --
I I DO AGREE THAT I THINK THE
NUMBERS THAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING --
WOULD BE UP IN THAT LIST -- IN
MY MIND -- SO I AM THAT'S WHY I
SAID I'LL BE VOTING FOR I
SUPPORT THE BILL NOT BE VOTING
FOR THE BILL -- BUT I GUESS I
ALSO JUST WANT TO SAY IS FOR
SOMEONE ELSE AUTHORS ANOTHER
BILL TO ADD A FEW MORE NUMBERS
WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT WHICH THREE
OR FOUR SHOULD BE IN ON THE CARD --
I'VE WITH THE THOUGH I WOULD
AGREE WITH YOU THAT BOTH THE
EXISTING LAW WHICH INCLUDES
SUICIDE NUMBER AND THE NUMBER
YOU SUGGESTED WOULD BE IN MY
LIST OF THE TOP THREE OR FOUR
DAYS I WOULD THINK SHOULD BE ON
THE CARDS BUT I DO SO I SAY THAT.
I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE
BUNCH MORE PEOPLE SUGGESTING
MORE NUMBERS ON THE CARDS.
THANK YOU THE USER PAN AS
SOMEONE US CENTER DRAWS.
I DO WANT TO AT LEAST.
IN THE RECEIVING END MAKE THE
DISTINCTION IN THE OPPOSITION.
OF THE WITNESSES AND I
APPRECIATE -- THE VERY SINCERE
CONCERNED ABOUT -- SUICIDE I
APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE BRINGING
THAT TO OUR ATTENTION -- I TOO
AM OFFENDED BY THE OTHER
WITNESSES REMARK SO I I WON A
LUMP IN.
TOGETHER THE OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU SENATOR ALSO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WHICH I TO CLOSE GET FIT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM TURNER
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS WANT TO
ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THEM --
CENTER OF CENTER PIN JUST YOUR
COMMENTS -- I AGREE VERY
STRONGLY WITH YOU WE HAVE THE
SAME CONVERSATION ACTUALLY OVER.
IN COMMITTEE ON THE ASSEMBLY
SIDE I THINK THERE -- THERE
REALLY OUGHT TO BE A A LIMIT
HERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WHERE
TO DRAW THE LINE IT WAS THINGS
THAT WOULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT.
LONG TERM IMPACT ON FOLKS --
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE AND SO THAT'S WHY
WE DECIDED ON THESE NUMBERS AND
NOT SOME OTHERS THAT WE ARE
UNDER -- DISCUSSION WITH SO SO I
AGREE WITH YOU AND I THINK THIS
IS A NICE PLACE TO DRAW THE LINE
BECAUSE HE'S A REALLY SERIOUS
ISSUES THAT.
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE DEALING WITH
AND THAT'S BORNE OUT BY THE DATA
THAT WE THAT WE LOOKED AT AS
WELL SO I DON'T THINK THIS IS A
GOOD PLACE TO STOP APPRECIATE --
THE SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE -- APPRECIATE
CONVERSATION ABOUT SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION WHICH I THINK IS TO
SPEND -- RESPECTFUL DISAGREEMENT
BUT I DO AGREE -- I DO AGREE

CRIME IS LATER PROVED TO BE
INNOCENT.
EXONERATES MAY BE RELEASED THE
LAST CARD WITH THE MEMORIES OF

I REALIZE AND UNDERSTOOD THE
EDUCATION WAS MY KEY TO BE ABLE
TO BE SUCCESSFUL -- HERE IN

THINGS THAT YOU GUYS ARE DOING.

CONTINUE THAT EDUCATION.
AND IT COST ME TO GO TO COLLEGE

LEGISLATORS.
THANK YOU THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING MISTER
HERNANDEZ ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA TERMS FOR CRIMINAL
JUSTICE STATE WHAT ASSOCIATION
CALLED OFFENSE ATTORNEYS -- I
THINK AFTER HEARING OP LET LET
ME JUST CHANGE MY COMMENTS JUST
JUST A BIT -- THIS BILLS REAL
REALLY BYPRODUCT OF WORK THAT
OBESE PUT IN.
SINCE USER HE WAS RELEASED FROM
PRISON ON MY FIRST MEADOW BE.
ABOUT FOUR FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN I
WAS WORKING ON A BILL -- TO TRY
TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF WRONGFUL
CONVICTIONS AND DEAL WITH
PASTORAL MISCONDUCT.
AND OB VOLUNTEERS TIME TO COME
UP AND MEET LEGISLATORS TO TELL
HIS STORY HOW BOTH DA'S AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT WITHHELD EVIDENCE OF
HIS INNOCENCE.
AND IT TOOK SEVENTEEN YEARS FOR
HIM TO GET OUT OF PRISON HE WAS
SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON.
PLUS FIFTY YEARS THE FACT THAT
HE ACTUALLY TOOK EDUCATION K.
CLASSES IN PRISON SAID SOMETHING
ABOUT OP -- ABOUT THAT TIME
LIMIT LET ME JUST SAY THIS AT
THAT TIME.
AND I'VE WORKING CRIMINAL
DEFENSE WORK FOR NOT ONLY THE
LOBBYIST HOUSES IN ATTORNEY FOR
YEARS.
ANY BROUGHT SOMETHING UP TO ADD
IN REAL LIFE AND THAT IS
EXONERATED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
WHEN THEY ARE RELEASED FROM
PRISON RECEIVE NOTHING?
WHEN YOU COMMIT A CRIME IN YOUR
OWN POORLY RECEIVED GET MONEY
YOU GET A PAROLE OFFICER GET
PAROLE SERVICES HOUSING MENTAL
HEALTH?
JOB TRAINING.
ALL THESE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE
THE OPTION COMMITTED THE CRIME
FOR EXONERATE.
UP TO FOUR YEARS AGO THERE IS
NOTHING PROVIDED -- OUT OF THE
GATE YOU CAN FILE FOR CLAIMING
COMPENSATION TAKES ABOUT FIVE
SIX SEVEN YEARS DIESEL IS OPPOSE
IT.
SUCKED OUT POINT WE MADE A
COMMITMENT TO WORK TOGETHER TO
START ADDRESSING THAT TO CHANGE
THE PRACTICES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THE FIRST BILL THAT
PASSED.
GRACIOUSLY ON THE LEGISLATURE
CALLED OBESE LAW.
AND MADE BECAUSE HONOREES
ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME SERVICES
PAROLEES.
HE CAN HE STARTED ORGANIZATION
CONVENE EXONERATES AROUND THE
COUNTRY SAT DOWN WITH THEM FACE
TO FACE AND SAID WHAT WOULD WE
NEED MENTAL HEALTH.
JOB TRAINING EDUCATION WE LOOK
TO WHAT OTHER STATES ARE DOING
TEXAS IS THE ONLY STATE RIGHT
NOW THAT PROVIDES EDUCATION FREE
OF CHARGE. FOR EXONERATION WE
SAID THIS IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO
IN CALIFORNIA.
THE LAST THING I'LL ADD IS THAT --
BUT FOR HIS WORK BUT FOR HIM
BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.
THE CITY CALIFORNIA WOULD BE
TWENTY THOUSAND STEPS BEHIND
INSTEAD OF YOU KNOW TEN THOUSAND
STEPS BEHIND.
AND THE ONE THING THAT HE
REMINDED US IS THAT SINCE THE
SEVENTEEN YEARS HE SPENT IN
PRISON AND THEN SAVE THE ON
JOHNSON AND SOME OF THE OTHER
FOLKS THAT WE MEET WITH.
THOSE ARE YEARS THAT THEY'RE NOT
IN SCHOOL THEY'RE NOT LEARNING
THE JOB SKILLS THEY'RE NOT DOING
ALL OF THIS IT'S A WAY TO CATCH
UP AND SO THIS BILL WAS REALLY --
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE.
PART OF THAT PATHWAY AND TO MAKE
UP. TO SOME EXTENT MAKE UP FOR
THE CITY CALIFORNIA TAKEN AWAY
ALL THE YEARS OF THE OF THEIR
LIFE SO.
I'VE SAID THIS JOKINGLY BUT I
ACTUALLY MEAN THIS I WILL HELP
THROW PARADE FOR THE FIRST
EXONERATED GET INTO THE UC.
UNDER THIS BILL BECAUSE IT IS A
TESTAMENT TO JUST THERE THERE'S
THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND I CAN'T
REALLY MAKE UP FOR WHAT WE'VE
TAKEN AWAY BUT WE CAN DO ABOUT
SO. FOR THOSE REASONS I ASKED
FOR A SUPPORT THE BILL.

PAN.
THANK YOU AND I AS A MEMBER OF

BILL THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
TESTIFYING -- AND AND IS THAT
THE CASE WAS SAID -- YOU KNOW A
GRAVE INJUSTICE WAS UNDER NO WAY
WE CAN MAKE IT UP BUT WE CAN TRY
TO DO SOMETHING MOVING FORWARD
AND CERTAINLY I THINK THIS IS
MORE THAN APPROPRIATE -- TO BE
SURE THAT WE PROVIDE THAT
OPPORTUNITY TAKING THOSE YEARS
OF LIFE AWAY FROM YOU AND OTHERS
ON THE RES -- WE NEED TO TRY TO
GIVE YOU OPPORTUNITIES WHEN YOU
COME OUT AND SO I'M VERY HAPPY
THIS NICE SUPPORT BILL WOULD
LIKE TO MOVE THE BUILT
APPROPRIATE TIME.
THANK YOU SENATOR PAN CENTER
DRUG SO.
I I TO WANT TO THANK YOU VERY
MUCH THERE'S NOTHING MORE
POWERFUL.
SECOND -- ONLY TO DOCTOR WEBER
IS THE WAY SHE TESTIFIES.
AND I MUST SAY THAT'S A VERY
VERY HIGH BAR AND YOUR YOUR
ABOVE THAT.
SO -- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THE CENTER DORADO ASSEMBLY WOMAN
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
I WANT TO I WANT TO THANK -- BE
IN ANTHONY FOR WORK FOR COMING
TODAY -- YOU KNOW I I HE WAS
WITH ME THE OTHER DAY BECAUSE
THERE'S A SECOND BILL THAT WE'RE
DOING.
ALL THE ALSO DEALS WITH HOUSING
FOR EXONERATING IN -- AND IT'S
NOT A LOT OF THEM BUT THE IMPACT
OF THAT OF THAT INCARCERATIONS
HAD ON THEIR LIVES IS JUST AN
UNBELIEVABLE.
I DON'T THINK ANY OF US CAN
IMAGINE IT'S HORRIBLE TO IMAGINE
BEING INCARCERATED.
IT'S EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO
IMAGINE BEING INCARCERATED FOR
SOMETHING YOU DID NOT DO.
AND THEN TO BE LET FREE TO COME
OUT OF AND THEN AND BE GIVEN
NOTHING.
IN RETURN TO BE BROUGHT OUT
BECAUSE MANY OF THEM HAVE LOST
THEIR FAMILIES AND ON ALL THOSE
YEARS.
THEIR SPOUSES HAVE DIVORCED --
THEIR FAMILIES HAVE MOVED AWAY
THEIR PARENTS HAVE DIED YOU KNOW
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF THINGS
THAT HAPPEN IN A FIFTEEN TO
TWENTY YEAR PERIOD WELL YOU
INCARCERATED SO YOU COME OUT
WITHOUT A LOT OF SUPPORT AND AS
A STATE WE DON'T EVEN SAY I'M
SORRY.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU SEEN
THE MOVIE A WHEN THEY SEE US IF
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YOU MUST SEE
IT IT'S ON NETFLIX.
IT'S ABOUT THE YOUNG MAN IN NEW
YORK COOL WRONGFULLY CONVICTED
AND SO I ASKED MISTER ANTHONY
THE OTHER DAY.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO
HIT THE THE THE WHO HID EVIDENCE
FROM YOU WHAT ABOUT THE JUDGE
YOU DIDN'T CONSIDER CERTAIN
THINGS WHAT ABOUT THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY AND WITH THE WHOLE IS?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THOSE PEOPLE
WHO INTENTIONALLY HELD
INFORMATION EVERY LAST ONE OF
HAS BEEN PROMOTED UP THE LINE?
THE JUDGES NOW AIDED DEALING
WITH THE HE'S ON THE COURT OF
APPEALS -- THAT SOMEBODY ELSE IS
NOT CHARGE OF ALL INVESTIGATION
SO NOTHING NEGATIVE IS HAPPEN TO
THOSE FOLKS WHO INTENTIONALLY
INTENTIONALLY KEPT INFORMATION
WAY.
AND SO WHEN YOU SEE THESE THINGS
IT'S HEARTBREAKING TO THE TO
MATCH AND OUR SYSTEM DOES THIS
AND THEN WE DON'T DO ANYTHING IN
RETURN.
IT TAKES YEARS FOR THEM TO GET
ANY KIND OF COMPENSATION -- TO
BASICALLY REBUILD THEIR LIVES
AND IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO
THAT AND SO -- MANY OF THEM LIVE
WITH THEIR ATTORNEYS HE'S BEEN
ABLE TO SHARE WITH US HIS STORY --
ON A VERY PERSONAL LEVEL AND AND
SO I JUST REALLY THINK THAT IT
THIS TIME WE'VE GOT TWO BILLS
THAT STILL ALIVE THE THIRD ONE
DEALT WITH MENTAL HEALTH AND
WILL WILL COVER THAT AND ANOTHER
THING BUT WE GET TWO BILLS.
THAT IS STILL A LOT OF THIS IS
CALIFORNIA IS SORRY.
WE'RE SORRY FOR WHAT TOOK PLACE
AND W WANT TO HELP YOU REBUILD
YOUR LIFE AND THAT'S WHY I ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR A BI.

ACKNOWLEDGE THE CONFLICT LISTED
IN THE ANALYSIS WITH SB SEVENTY
SEVEN THE EDUCATION BUDGET
TRAILER BILL AND LET THE
COMMITTEE KNOW THAT I WILL WORK
WITH LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL TO
ENSURE THE CONFLICT IS RESOLVED.
SHOULD THIS BILL MOVED FORWARD
TODAY.
I BELIEVE THAT IT IS CRITICAL TO

DETERMINATION WHEN CHOOSING A
COLLEGE TO ATTEND.
THAT IS WHY I AM VERY EXCITED TO
AUTHOR ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTEEN OH
SEVEN THE COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY

THIS BILL WILL BRING STABILITY
TO THE CAL GRANT AWARD BY
IMPLEMENTING A NEW WORD FUNDING
FORMULA FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING
PRIVATE NONPROFIT UNIVERSITIES.
I LIKE THE AWARDS FOR UC AND CSU

CHANGES IN TUITION THE AWARD
ALLOCATION FOR PRIVATE NONPROFIT
UNIVERSITIES WHAT SET TO A
STATIC AMOUNT IN THE BUDGET ACT
OF TWO THOUSAND UPON SUCCESS OF
AB.
THIRTEEN OH SEVEN CAL GRANT
AWARDS FOR PRIVATE NONPROFIT
COLLEGES WILL INCREASE AND IT
JUST WITH FUTURE INCREASES IN
ALLOCATIONS FOR THE CSU.
CAL GRANT AWARDS PROVIDE
CRITICAL FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO
STUDENTS AND CAN OFTEN BE THE
FINAL DETERMINATION ON SCHOOL
ACCESS.
NOT ONLY DOES THE CAL GRANT
PROVIDING AFFORDABLE PATHWAY TO
COLLEGE IT SERVES A SIGNIFICANT
POPULATION OF UNDERSERVED SERVE
STUDENTS.
IN FACT 48% OF CAL GRANT
RECIPIENTS ARE LATINO WHICH IS
ONE REASON THIS BILL IS A TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN A LATINO
CAUCUS PRIORITY.
NOW MORE THAN EVER IT IS CRUCIAL
THAT WE INCREASE ACCESS TO
COLLEGE FOR ALL CALL CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS.
SO THAT STUDENTS FINANCIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES DO NOT DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT THEY CAN AFFORD

ATTEST THAT THE CAL GRANT WAS AN
IMPORTANT INVESTMENT IN THE
PURSUIT OF AN EDUCATION.
GROWING UP I KNEW THAT I WANTED
TO PURSUE MY POST SECONDARY
EDUCATION AT A PRIVATE
INSTITUTION.
I DECIDED TO SMALLER CLASS SIZES
AN INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION BASS
CAMPUS RESOURCES AND WELCOMING
COMMUNITY.
THE UNIVERSITY OF REDLANDS HAD
EVERYTHING THEY DESIRED AND MUCH
MORE.

AFFORD IT.
THANKS TO THE CAL GRANT MY
FAMILY AND I COULD AFFORD SUCH A
PROCEDURE EDUCATION WITHOUT
HAVING TO WORK EXCESSIVE HOURS
IN WITHOUT HAVING TO POSTPONE MY
EDUCATION YOUTH TO FINANCIAL
HARDSHIP.
I AM FOREVER THANKFUL TO THE CAL
GRANT PROGRAM AS AS PROVIDED ME
WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP
MY PROFESSIONAL SKILLS IT
ALLOWED ME TO GRADUATE A YEAR
EARLY.
AND HAS HELPED ME BECOME WORK
FORCE READY.
INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES ARE PLACES OF
INNOVATION INSPIRATION AND ARE
PIONEERS OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM
TO GO.
ABOVE AND BEYOND TRADITIONAL
BOUNDARIES.
THESE INSTITUTIONS PROVIDE
STUDENTS WITH INDIVIDUALIZED
EDUCATION PROVIDE ONE ON ONE
ATTENTION FINANCIAL RESOURCES
AND GUARANTEED ON CAMPUS HOUSING

SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO CONTINUE AN
ASSESSMENT FOR THE USE OF
RECREATIONAL SPACE SUCH AS
ATHLETIC FIELDS TRACK AND FIELD.
TENNIS COURTS AND IT OUTDOOR
BASKETBALL COURTS.
SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL PROVIDES
A FIVE YEAR.
SUNSET ON THE AUTHORITY TO
CHARGER A PROPOSED A
PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE COSTS
FOR THE USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES.
AND GROUNDS.
LISTING Là AUTHORIZES SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO CHARGE AN AMOUNT
NOT TO EXCEED DIRECT COSTS FOR
THE USE OF ANY SCHOOL FACILITIES
SUCH AS UTILITIES AND JANITORIAL
SERVICE.
UNTIL JANUARY FIRST.
TWENTY TWENTY DIRECT COSTS ALSO
INCLUDE THE SHARE OF THE COSTS
FOR MAINTENANCE.
REPAIR AND RESTORATION FOR THE
USE OF ANY NON CLASSROOM AREAS
THIS IS WHAT THE SIX TO KEEP
GOING.
KEEP DOING -- EXCESSIVE WEAR AND
TEAR RESULTS IN INCREASED COSTS
TO MAINTAIN AND REPAIR GROUNDS.
JUST LIKE THE THEM JUST LIKE THE
MORE MILES YOU PUT ON A CAR.
THE SOONER YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE
A CAR IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND
REPAIRS.
THIS BILL WILL ALLOW FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO SHARE FACILITIES
FOR COMMUNITIES COVER COMMUNITY
USE WHILE ENSURING THAT OUR K.
TWELVE STUDENTS ARE ALE TO
ATTEND P. CLASSES AND CULTIVATE
SCHOOL SPIRIT.
THROUGH SCHOOL -- THROUGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL OR BASKETBALL TEAMS I
ASKED FOR AN AYE VOTE ON THIS
THERE ARE COUPLE WITNESSES HERE --
MADAM CHAIR VERY SIMPLY THIS IS
ODD WERE SEEKING TO CONTINUE IN
EXISTING PROCESS.
THAT'S GOOD THANK YOU SIR
ASSEMBLYMEMBER PERCY WHEN YOU'RE
READY I'LL LET YOU GUYS DECIDE
WHO GOES FIRST ERROR BUT WITH
THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION JUST WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD I
THINK HE'S COVERED THE BILL
THOROUGHLY JUST WANT TO SIMPLY.
ADD -- THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
SUPPORT THE GOALS AND PURPOSES
THE CIVIC CENTER ACT THAT THE
GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT THE THE
SCHOOLS ARE THE CENTER OF THE
COMMUNITY WHICH THEY HAVE BEEN
FOR DECADES.
WE LOOK YOU KNOW SCHOOLS ARE
LOOKED AT AS A CENTER IN CASE%
THERE'S A DISASTER BUT ON A
POSITIVE NOTE THERE ALSO THERE
FOR THE THE SPORTS AND THE YOUTH --
THE SPECIAL PROGRAMS -- AND EVEN
SOME OF THE SPECIAL EVENTS THAT
ARE OCCURRING IN THE COMMUNITY.
AS THE ANALYSIS -- CORRECTLY
INDICATES THE CIVIC CENTER ACT
DOES REQUIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO
MAINTAIN THE FACILITIES AND
CLEAN SAFE CONDITION.
AND SUBJECT SCHOOL DISTRICTSTO
LIABILITY FOR ANY INJURY FOR
FAILURE. TO MAINTAIN THOSE
FACILITIES ARE GROUNDS WITH
BUDGET STRESSES AND CONSTRAINTS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS STILL COULD
INCUR OVER ALL THESE YEARS
MAINTENANCE OPERATION BUDGETS
HAVE NOT YET FULLY RECOVERED.
AND BUILDING GROUNDS CONTINUE TO
FALL SHORT OF THE NECESSARY
MAINTENANCE WHEN YOU ADD IN AS
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER INDICATED
THE ADDITIONAL TIME IN THE WEAR
AND TEAR CREATED BY ALL THE
YOUTH SPORTS IN THE COMMUNITY
ACTIVITIES.
THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO MAINTAIN
THOSE FACILITIES AND TO AVOID
THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY.
WE THINK THIS BILL IS A
REASONABLE APPROACH YEAH IT
HERE'S TO THE INTENT AND PURPOSE
OF THE CIVIC CENTER ACT FOR THAT
REASON WE SUPPORT.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS OR
PRESIDENT ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
I THINK MY COLLEAGUE -- REALLY
COVER THE BILL I EXTENSIVELY THE
ONLY THING I WOULD LIKE TO ADD
IS THAT OUR MEMBERS ARE TELLING
US THAT.
THEY'RE GETTING MORE MORE
REQUEST TO USE OUR FACILITIES
AND SO THE DEMAND IS EVEN
INCREASING THAT THE NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO HELP
MAINTAIN THE SITES.

AT THIS BILL WOULD AUTHORIZE THE

TO EXTEND FINANCIAL AID
APPLICATION DEADLINES BY THIRTY
DAYS FOR STUDENTS TO NATURAL
DISASTERS.

SOUND APPROACH. TO PROVIDE SOME
FLEXIBILITY TO THIS TO NAY
COMMISSION WHEN WE HAVE THINGS
LIKE WILD FIRES OR OR OTHER WHAT
OTHER INCIDENTS THAT DON'T ALLOW
STUDENTS TO BE ABLE -- TO APPLY
AS THEY NORMALLY WOULD FOR
FINANCIAL AID -- WE DID SEE FOR
EXAMPLE IN -- PARADISE UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT A 38% DECREASE
IN FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS --
COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS I
THINK THIS IS A SOUND AND
THOUGHTFUL APPROACH -- TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS GET THAT
FINANCE EIGHT IF THEY NEED I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FREE AYE VOTE
ON AB.
SEVENTEEN SEVENTY FOUR I HAVE

REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
STUDENT AID COMMISSION AND ALMA
