PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR BEFORE

THE COURTESY YES. I JACKSON
THANK YOU- SO COLLEAGUES I
WANTED TO OPEN SESSION- A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY THAN WE
TYPICALLY DO- WITH THE. REMAIN
OF MY OLLEAGUES I WANTED TO
JUST ACKNOWLEDGE SOME THINGS
THESE ARE VERY MUCH
UNPRECEDENTED TIMES AS THE
GOVERNOR'S ACTIONS YESTERDAY IN
THE ACTIONS WE SEEN FROM LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AND THE FEDERAL
ADMINISTRATION MAKE ABSOLUTELY
CLEAR. WE'VE HEARD FROM HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS THAT CALIFORNIA
IS IN A CRITICAL PERIOD FOR
FLATTENING THE TRANSMISSION
CURVE FOR COVERT NINETEEN. THE
CORONA VIRUS IF WE'RE TO
PREVENT OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS
FROM BEING OVERWHELMED. THE
SENATE HAS ALREADY TAKEN STEPS
TO MAKE THE CAPITAL CITY FOR
AND TO HELP THOSE IN THE
CAPITAL COMMUNITY FOLLOW PUBLIC
HEALTH GUIDELINES THEMSELVES.
AND IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT
WHILE SOME OF US ON THIS FLOOR
ARE SIXTY FIVE OR OLDER THE
GOVERNOR'S ORDER DOES INCLUDE
EXEMPTIONS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR
BEING HERE FOR THE ACTIONS THAT
WE NEED TO TAKE TODAY. AND AS
YOU CAN SEE WE'VE IMPLEMENTED
SOCIAL DISTANCING IN THE SENATE
CHAMBER. AS YOU KNOW THE
CAPITAL WAS CLOSED TO THE
PUBLIC OVER THE WEEKEND THIS
WEEK'S COMMITTEE HEARINGS HAVE
BEEN POSTPONED. AND SECRETARY
CONTRAIRE US OFFICE HAS
CONTACTED STAFF ABOUT OPTIONS
AVAILABLE TO THEM. BEHIND THE
SCENES WE WORK WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES
WITH OUR SERGEANTS WITH OUR
SECURITY SCREENING TEAM ON NEW
PROTOCOLS INCLUDING SOCIAL
DISTANCING. NEW EQUIPMENT AND
NEW SCREENING AND CLEANING
PRACTICES. THE SENATE HAS ALSO
BEEN TESTING REMOTE
CAPABILITIES FOR MEETINGS AND
OTHER LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY AND
WE'RE WORKING TO HAVE THOSE
SYSTEMS AVAILABLE FOR USE AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE. IN A FEW
MOMENTS WE'LL BE TAKING
ADDITIONAL ACTIONS THAT WILL
ACHIEVE THREE THINGS. TO PUT
ADDITIONAL TOOLS AND RESOURCES
WHERE THEY'RE NEEDED MOST TO
HELP PROVIDE FOR BOTH
LIFESAVING CARE AND
PREVENTATIVE ACTIONS. TO HELP
REDUCE THE RISK OF SENATORS
STAFF AND OTHER MEMBERS OF OUR
CAPITAL COMMUNITY EITHER
CONTRACTING THE VIRUS ARE
CARRYING IT TO OTHERS. AND
THIRD TO PROVIDE AN IMMEDIATE
WAY FOR US TO DO OUR PART TO
HELP FLATTEN THE CURVE WITHOUT
JEOPARDIZING OUR OVERALL WORK
IS LEGISLATURE ON BILLS AND THE
BUDGET. AS I SAID WE WILL NOT
COMPROMISE THE DELIVERY OF FAIR
AND OPEN GOVERNMENT IN OUR
DEMOCRACY. BUT IN THIS TIME OF
URGENCY IF THERE ARE BARRIERS
TO NEEDED ACTION WE MUST TAKE
THE NECESSARY CHANGES.
COLLEAGUES THE FACT THAT IT
CAN'T BE BUSINESS AS USUAL AND
IT CAN'T BE NO BUSINESS AT ALL
WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
FIND THE RESPONSIBLE BALANCE
BETWEEN THE TWO AND I KNOW THAT
MY COLLEAGUES. WILL BE ABLE TO
DO THAT AS THE SENATE CONTINUES
OUR RESPONSE TO THE EMERGENCY I
HAVE TO SAY HOW PROUD I AM OF
EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO SERVES
EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS
CHAMBER WHO SERVES THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA. IN THE CAPITAL
AND IN OUR DISTRICT OFFICES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE I AM
EXTREMELY APPRECIATIVE. I KNOW
THAT MY COLLEAGUE THE
REPUBLICAN LEADER IS EQUALLY
APPRECIATIVE I'VE HEARD OR
EXPRESS IT NUMEROUS TIMES. I
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE SECURITY.
OF HR AND PAYROLL AND
HOUSEKEEPING STAFF WHOSE WORK
IN THE BUILDING WILL CONTINUE
TO KEEP THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
CAPITAL FUNCTIONING DURING THIS
CRISIS. I HOPE WE WOULD ALSO
ALL HONOR AND THANK ALL THE
WORKERS BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SECTOR
WORKERS WHO CONTINUE TO WORK
AROUND THE CLOCK INCLUDING OUR
NURSES ARE DOCTORS ARE IN T. S.
PERSONNEL OTHER HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS THEIR
CONTRIBUTION TO US IS ACTUALLY
IMMEASURABLE. AND HELPING EASE
THEIR BURDEN WHICH IS WHAT THE
ACTIONS WE WILL TAKE TODAY WILL
HELP DUE TO HELP EASE THEIR
BURDEN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING ANY OF US CAN DO RIGHT
NOW. SO I WANNA SET THIS
CONTEXT AS WE GO INTO THE
ACTIONS THAT WE WILL TAKE AS
THE SENATE AND AS A
LEGISLATURE. I KNOW I'LL HAVE
MORE TO SAY AS WE MOVE THROUGH
SOME OF THE ACTIONS TODAY AND I
KNOW THAT YOU MAY AS WELL. BUT
I WANTED TO OPEN TODAY'S
PROCEEDINGS WITH THIS OVERVIEW
THIS PERSPECTIVE AND- THIS TONE
IN CONTEXT AS WE GET STARTED

EMPLOYED THEN WILL CONTINUALLY
BE I'M GOING BACK TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUES OF EMPLOYEES NOT
GETTING A PAYCHECK AND
EMPLOYEES POSSIBLY NOT HAVING A
JOB TO GO BACK TO THE EMPLOYER
ISN'T TAKING CARE OF AND THEN
IMPACTS ARE MINIMIZED ON THEM A
LOT OF PEOPLE IN OUR DISTRICTS
ARE EXPERIENCING ESPECIALLY THE
BUSINESS OWNER SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS RESTAURANTS- BARS AT.
EVEN THE MCDONALDS CORPORATIONS
THIS THE BUSINESS OWNERS ARE
TEXTING ME I'VE GOTTEN TAX FROM
OUR HOSPITAL EXECUTIVES THAT
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT A STAFFING
RATIOS AND I KNOW THAT'S A BIG
A POLITICAL ISSUE BUT WE NEED
TO SET POLITICS ASIDE AND WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE
HAVE A NURSE ON STAFF IS
CAPABLE OF TAKING CARE OF THREE
TO FIVE TO TEN PATIENTS THAN
THAT NEEDS TO BE LIFTED I MEAN
THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT
DESPERATELY NEED BE ADDRESS SO
THAT WE LIMóN EIGHT THE RED
TAPE. SO THAT WE CAN SERVICE
OUR CONSTITUENTS THAT ARE ALL
STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE AND
THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THE
EMERGENCY CRISIS AT OUR STATE
FINDS US I AND SO AGAIN I WOULD
ASK THE GOVERNOR TO THINK ABOUT
THE EMPLOYMENT ASPECT OF IT
BECAUSE WITHOUT THE EMPLOYER
AND THE EMPLOYEE HAVE A JOB TO
GO BACK TO AND- THAT COULD
CREATE A HUGE PROBLEM AND ALSO
IT CAN ALSO IMPACT A MORE
HOMELESS. THE OTHER- ISSUE THAT
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAS THE
FARMING COMMUNITY AND I
APPRECIATE MY I'M CALLING FROM
THE BAY AREA. I'VE BEEN. A HAD
PICTURES SENT TO ME ABOUT
GROCERY STORES EMPTY SHELVES
EVERYWHERE. AND WE HAVE- THE
GOVERNOR OF THIS STATE IS
BLESSED. TO BE ABLE TO GOVERNOR
STATE. IT HAS THE TOP THREE
FOOD PRODUCING COUNTIES IN THE
WORLD. MY COLLEAGUE- FROM THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. BOTH MY
COLLEAGUES ALL THREE OF YOU
GUYS I GUESS FROM THE CENTRAL
VALLEY THAT JOIN ME- FRESNO
KERN AND TULARE OR THE TOP FOOD
PRODUCING COUNTIES FOR THE
ENTIRE. WORLD AND 99% OF SOME
PRODUCTS ARE GROWN RIGHT HERE.
IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY THAT FEED
THE WORLD IN FEEDER
CONSTITUENTS. SO I THINK WE
NEED TO LEARN A LESSON IN ON
THIS ON THIS ISSUE THAT WE'RE
DEALING WITH. THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT FOOD IS PRODUCED
HERE DOMESTICALLY SO THAT WE
CAN CONTINUE TO NOT BE-
DEPENDING ON OTHER FOREIGN
NATIONS TO GET FOOD PRODUCTS
AND WE DO DESPERATELY NEED
THEM. AM I HOPE THE GOVERNOR
TAKES SAID IN THIS
CONSIDERATION. I DO APPLAUD HIM
AND EVERYBODY THIS WORKED HARD
THE SENATE PROTEIN HAS BEEN
AMAZING. ON COMMUNICATION AND
SO IS THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
WITH US. IN THE REPUBLICAN
CAUCUS WE APPRECIATE THAT VERY
MUCH. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO-
WORKING THROUGH THIS ISSUE IN
THIS EMERGENCY RESPONSE THAT WE
HAVE. TOGETHER AS A TEAM. AND
NOT A SEPARATE PARTIES. THANK

MITIGATE THE IMPACT OF THIS-
INSPECTION- IT IS A COMMENT ON

WAY THAT WILL AGAIN PROTECT THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA AND

CALIFORNIANS AND SO CERTAINLY I
WANTED- URGE I HOPEFULLY

MEMBERS I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF SB ONE SEVENTEEN-
COMPLEMENT THE GOVERNOR FOR
HIS- ACTION ON HELPING SCHOOLS
HAVE CERTAINTY AS THIS BUDGET
YEAR AND SCHOOL YEAR PROGRESSES
WITH A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY I
ALSO WANT TO COMPLIMENT OUR
APPROACH HIM AND BUDGET CHAIR-
FOR GETTING THIS BILL TO THE
FLOOR TODAY SO WE CAN TAKE THIS
ACTION.BUT IN ADDITION I WANT
TO COMPLIMENT ALL OF THOSE
SCHOOL DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENTS
MANY OF WHOM TOOK ACTION BEFORE
IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THEY WERE
GONNA BE REMAIN WHOLE- THEY
WERE WRESTLING WITH THE SSUE
OF PUTTING CHILDREN SAFETY
FIRST AND NOT HAVING TO SAY
WE'RE GONNA PUT KIDS IN HARM'S
WAY BECAUSE OF BUDGETARY
CONCERNS IN THOSE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THAT DID THE RIGHT
THING ALSO RIVER DESERVE TO BE
COMMENDED BECAUSE THIS IS A
CASE WHERE. EVERYONE CAME
TOGETHER TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
CHILDREN WERE SAFE OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE HOLE AND WE CAN
GET THROUGH THIS UNPRECEDENTED-
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS SO I
STRONGLY URGE SUPPORT OF SB ONE
SEVENTEEN THANK YOU SENATOR
GIRL. THANK YOU MISTER
PRESIDENT I TO HAVE- RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS EDUCATION
TRAILER BILL. AGAIN IT'S JUST
THINGS THAT I DON'T THINK THAT
WE HAVE THOUGHT AS I KNOW THAT
MAKING SURE THAT THE SCHOOLS
ARE MADE WHOLE THAT THERE'RE
MANY IN THERE THE FOR THE
RESOURCES CONTINUE- I GOT A
TEXT FROM A TEACHER THAT HAS
TWO YOUNG KIDS THAT IS GONNA BE
REQUIRED TO GO TO SCHOOL. AND
TAKERS YOUNG KIDS WITH HER TO
SCHOOL TO FACILITATE THE
PROCESS OF MAKING SURE THERE'S
OTHER STUDENTS ARE KATE SAFE
WHEN SHE DOESN'T HAVE DAY CARE
FOR HER OWN CHILDREN AND SHE
STILL REQUIRED TO GO. SO I
THINK THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
THAT WE DO HERE- WITHOUT FULL
VETTING AND AGAIN WE HAVE TO
ACT IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
BUT I THINK THAT WE NEED TO
HAVE LONGER DISCUSSIONS. ABOUT
HOW IT ACTUALLY WORKS ON THE
GROUND AND OUR TEACHERS ARE
TAKING CARE OF AND- TAKE CARE
OF THEIR OWN FAMILIES AS WELL.
ANOTHER THING IS THAT YOU KNOW
A LOT OF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE OPERATING REMOTELY AND ONE
OF THE BARRIERS OF OPERATING
REMOTELY AND NOT HAVING
STUDENTS THERE WAS THE FISCAL
IMPACT OF THE MISSING DAYS. BUT
ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WE HAVE
OPERATING REMOTELY IS A LOT OF
OUR MAJORITY MINORITY DISTRICTS
IN A POOR COMMUNITIES EVEN IN
MY DISTRICT DON'T HAVE CRIME
NOTEBOOKS. SO STUDENTS CAN'T
OPERATE THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A
LAPTOP AT HOME SO HOW DID THEY
PARTICIPATE WHERE DO THEY GO-
SO ALL I WHERE I SEE HOW- WE
ARE TRYING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
ALMOST ALL STUDENTS. WE ARE
FAILING TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
SOME STUDENTS AND I'D LIKE THAT
DISCUSSION TO CONTINUE BUT IN
THE MEANTIME I THINK THIS IS A
VERY GOOD START- MAKING SURE
THAT OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS
MADE WHOLE. THANK YOU. ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE BAIT
ON THIS ITEM. HEARING SEEN ON

ABOUT THE CROSS IT'S ABOUT AND
CONDITIONAL LEFT. AND THERE IS
NO DOUBT THAT ALL OF US THAT

REPRESENTED AND CONDITIONAL
LOVE DIDN'T MATTER WHO IT WAS
OR WHO WE ENGAGED WITH- EVEN IF
HE WAS IN OPPOSITION HE ALWAYS
DID IT WITH AN AMAZING LOVE
THAT JUST TOUCH PEOPLE'S
HEARTS. CACHO IMMIGRATED TO
UNITED STTES FROM LEBANON IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE TO FURTHER
IS EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY. HE
TOUCHES DRIVE WAS TRULY
DEMONSTRATED A WIN IT MEANS AND
DEMONSTRATED WHAT IT MEANS TO
BECOME AN AMERICAN TO PURSUE
THE AMERICAN DREAM. AFTER
ATTENDING COMMUNITY COLLEGE HE
PROUDLY BECAME A US CITIZEN HE
MARRIES BEAUTIFUL WIFE ROXIE OF
ROXY THEY WOULD LATER GO ON TO
THEIR DAUGHTER NINE THREE AND
ROCH HIS SON. CUT TO OPEN THE
BUSINESS IN NINETEEN SEVENTY
EIGHT WHEN HE PURCHASED ZERO
GRANDE SHELL STATION AND LATER
EXPANDED TO THREE SHELL
STATIONS IN THAT AREA. GIVING
BACK TO THE COMMUNITY WAS
IMPORTANT TO CACHO AND HE DID.
EVERYTHING THAT HE DID HE DID
AS A DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANT.
CUT TO MAYBE IMPACTS SERVING
GOVERNMENT BOTH IN HIS COUNTY
LEVEL AND AT THE STATE LEVEL IN
DURING HIS TWO DECADES OF
PUBLIC SERVICE HE SERVED
COMMUNITIES IN COUNTLESS ROLES.
INCLUDING THE FEAR THE STATE
ASSEMBLYMAN FOR THE SAN LUIS
OBISPO COUNTY. EVEN AS A STATE
LEGISLATOR WITH MANY DUTIES AND
PRESSURES. CULTURE WAS NEVER
TOO BUSY EMPOWER USING GIVE
BACK TO THE COMMUNITY OR HELP
OTHERS ALL WITH A WARM GENEROUS
SPIRIT. JUST TO SHARE A COUPLE
OF PERSONAL STORIES. WE MET AT
THE TRAINING DAY WE ALL GOT PUT
IN TOGETHER IS. AS SENATOR
BRADFORD SAID AND WE GO TO THE
TRAINING DAY IN. AND THEN- IN
THE ELEVATOR AFTER TRAINING I
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET
CACHO AND HIS. FAMILY AND SO WE
HAVE TO PICTURE THIS AND YOU
GUYS WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M
SAYING THE ELEVATOR DOOR OPENS.
AND HERE'S CACHO RATE HE'S GOT
THIS FLUFFY WHITE DOG IN HIS
ARMS. ANY AS THESE TWO
BEAUTIFUL TALL AMAZING LOOKING
WOMEN STANDING NEXT TO HIM. IN
A VERY HANDSOME SON. AND I SAID
OH HI IS THAT YOUR DOG AND ARE
THESE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND HE
GOES. HE WAS A SURE DODD
TALKING THE DAUGHTERS AND IS
THIS YOUR DAUGHTERS AND CATCH A
GOES NO IT'S MY DOG IN. THIS IS
MY WIFE AND MY DAUGHTER. SO HE
WAS REALLY PROUD OF HIS FAMILY
AND- WHO THEY WERE AND THEY
WERE AMAZING INDIVIDUALS AND
ROXY ROXY WAS. IS JUST A
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHO JUST ADORE
DEMAND THAT JUST GAVE HER.
UNCONDITIONAL ELEVEN METER FEEL
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AND I THINK
THAT SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR THE
HUSBAND AND THE FATHER THAT HE

COLLEAGUE. SENATOR BRADFORD- I
DO HAVE TO CONCUR THERE WAS A-
LONG STANDING JOKE BETWEEN
SENATOR FULLER WRESTLE AND I
THAT KOCH IT WOULD MAKE IT HOME
BEFORE JUDGE RUSSELL COULD FLY
JEAN AND I HOME. AND IT'S THE
SAME DISTANCE SO IT'S FIVE
HOURS TO BAKERSFIELD FIVE HOURS
TO SAN LUIS OBISPO. AND WE
WOULD GET IN THE PLANE BEFORE
WE WOULD TAKE OFF WE WOULD MAKE
JOKES THAT KOCH'S ALREADY
GETTING. INTO ST LOUIS SO THAT
IS NOT VERY FAR FROM THE TRUTH
OF HIS SPEED DEMON DRIVING. HE
WAS AN IMMIGRANT A PROUD
AMERICAN AND A FATHER. AND A
HUSBAND AND A FRIEND. AND I AM
HE TRULY EMBODIED WHAT I WOULD
SAY IS A STATESMAN. IN THE

THINKING MAN. AND I THINK
THAT'S WHAT ALL OF US
EXPERIENCED ON IN OUR
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS WITH
HIM IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
HIM SERVING ON COMMITTEE AND
HEARING HIM STAND UP AND TAKE A
POSITION ON THE FLOOR- BECAUSE
HIS FAMILY WAS SO IMPORTANT TO
HIM. HE ALWAYS TOUCH BASES WITH
US IN OUR FAMILY AND- I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL WITH MY
FAMILY WITH CACCIA WHICH
ALLOWED HIM TO. DEVELOP A
RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT MY SON
THAT LASTED OVER THE YEARS AND-
CAUGHT CHILL MADE IT A HABIT OF
GIVING GIVING RYAN BOOKS. ON
THE NEXT TIME HE'D SEE HIM HE
WOULD ASK ME WHAT HE THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT BOOK. AND SO I WILL
FOREVER APPRECIATE CACHO FOR
EMBRACING MY FAMILY AS WELL-
THROUGHOUT YOUR CAREER HERE
WERE ALL CAPTURED IN IMAGES BY
THE PRESS. AND ONE OF THE MY
FAVORITE IMAGES THAT I WILL
ALWAYS HONOR AND APPRECIATE
WHICH WILL BRING A WARM SMILE
TO MY FACE. IS THE IMAGE
CAPTURE OF KHAT CHEWING ON THE
BACK OF THE CHAMBERS IN THE
ASSEMBLY BY. AP PHOTOGRAPHER
RICH PETROCELLI. AND WHAT MAKES
IT SO FUNNY IS **** AND I DON'T
HAVE A CLUE WHAT WE WERE SAYING
TO EACH OTHER. BECAUSE AFTER
THE PICTURE RAN IN THE LA TIMES
IT RUN IT REGULARLY WE WOULD
CUT IT OUT EVERY COUPLE RUN AND
SEND IT TO WORK TO EACH OTHER
AND LAUGH. AND KOCH WAS KISSING
ME ON MY CHEEK AND I'M HOLDING
A CUP OF HOT TEA. AND I'M
SAYING SOMETHING BACK TO ****
WHO IS HERE. AND WE HAVE NO
IDEA WHAT WE WERE SAYING TO
EACH OTHER. BUT WHATEVER IT WAS
YOU COULD TELL BY MY EXPRESSION
THAT- HOW WARM I FELT ABOUT
CACHO AND HOW MUCH FUN WE WERE
HAVING IN THAT MOMENT. AND SO I
APPRECIATE RICH FOR CAPTURING
JUST THAT MOMENT IN TIME
BETWEEN TWO COLLEAGUES THAT
REALLY IS A REFLECTION TO THE
WORLD. OF WHAT OUR
RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE WITH ONE
ANOTHER WHEN WE CHOOSE FOR THEM
TO BE I WANT TO JOIN WITH ALL
OF YOU. IN HONORING- ARE TWENTY
TEN CAT CLASSMATE. AT AN
ELEGANT THINKING MAN FORMER
ASSEMBLYMAN CACHO SHASHIN.
THANK YOU SO MUCH SENATOR UBER
IS RUNNING GIVE THE PROTEIN THE
LAST WORD PRO TWO MAC INSOFAR
AS YOURS WELL THANK YOU MISTER
PRESIDENT AND- I DON'T DESERVE
THE LAST WORD BUT- I AM
THRILLED THAT I GOT TO HEAR
WHAT ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
SAID ABOUT AN INCREASE
INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL. ALSO A
CLASS OF TWENTY TEN- WITH MY
COLLEAGUES HERE- HE WAS ONE OF
THE MOST- KIND INDIVIDUALS I
MEAN IT IS KIND OF AMAZING THAT
YOU SEE EVERYBODY IN BOTH
CHAMBERS OF GOAL IN EXTRA
ORDINARY DISTANCES TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE DO THIS RIGHT FOR
SOMEONE WHO TRULY DESERVED IT-
MY COMMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE
AS AS I THINK PROFOUND AS- THAT
OF MY COLLEAGUES BUT WE ALL
HAVE STORIES. YOU KNOW OP I
DON'T SMOKE CIGARS- BUT I HAVE
A HUMIDOR- THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME
BY CACHO- IT STORES GREAT
THINGS JUST NOT CIGARS- BUT IT
WAS JUST SUCH AN INCREDIBLE
GIFT BECAUSE WE HAD- TRAVEL TO
CUBA TOGETHER AND HE WAS IN
HEAVEN. IN CUBA- YOU CAN JUST
IMAGINE BUT- YOU KNOW TO SEE
THE RESPECTIVE EVERYONE HAS FOR
AN INDIVIDUAL OBVIOUSLY THERE
ARE LESSONS WE NEED TO LEARN IN
HUMANITY ABOUT HOW SOMEONE
COULD BE THAT KIND OF PERSON
ARE A DECENT HUMAN BEING
SOMEONE WHO ADORED HIS FAMILY
AS YOU'VE SAID. I AND SOMEONE
WHO RECOGNIZED YOUR FAMILY AND-
MY SPOUSE LOVED IT I MEAN WE
TRAVEL WHEN WE TRAVEL TO CUBA
TOGETHER TO IT LOOK IT AG AND
DO A NUMBER OF OTHER THINGS WE
CLEARLY HAD FUN HOWEVER IT WAS
AN ENJOYABLE TRIP. AND WHEN YOU
SAY- ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES SAID
HE WAS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE. WHEN
YOU'RE A AN OF PRINCIPLE AND
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND YOU
KNOW WHY YOU'RE IN A PLACE. HOW
IS IT POSSIBLE PEOPLE CAN BE
ANGRY AT YOU ARE OR- YOU KNOW
THIS IS AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS
ABLE TO- JUST DEFY. LABELS
FRANKLY. AND IT WAS JUST
GENUINELY A GOOD HUMAN BEING
AND I WILL SAY THANK YOU TO MY
COLLEAGUES. WHO REPRESENTED THE
SENATE. I IT'S NOT OFTEN I
THINK THAT SENATORS- AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS CROSS OVER
ALWAYS TO RECOGNIZE UNLESS
THEY'VE SERVED WITH SOMEONE.
BUT MANY OF YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE
SERVED WITH CACHO ACTUALLY BUT
YOU KNEW HIM AND YOU KNEW WHO
HE WAS AND YOU KNEW THE
RESPECT. THAT HE HELD- THE
REPUBLICAN LEADER SAID HE WAS A
STATESMAN I COULDN'T AGREE
MORE. AND WE HAVE LOST AN
INCREDIBLE STATESMAN AND I WANT
TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR
TAKING THE TIME TO GO REPRESENT
US. OZ SO THAT HIS FAMILY KNEW
THAT IT WAS WIDE WIDELY HELD.
THAT HE WAS SOMEONE THAT MADE A
DIFFERENCE IN OUR STATE AND FOR
THIS INSTITUTION. THANK YOU FOR
LETTING ME ADD A FEW WERE. IN
HONOR OF A GREAT MAN AND PAY
RESPECTS TO HIS INCREDIBLE
FAMILY. A BETTER BRITAIN THANK

EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS AND MY
COLLEAGUE SHOULD HAVE THE PRINT
OUT OF THE LANGUAGE- THAT GIVES
THE- EXCEPT AS FOLLOWS AND IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT YOU TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT HEY. EITHER HOUSE MAY

WORKING IN OUR DISTRICTS TO
SERVE OUR CONSTITUENTS WE'RE
COMMITTED TO PROTECTING THE

I WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL
CALIFORNIANS TO PLEASE FALL THE
ADVICE OF OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICIALS. OUT WITH THAT I
WOULD ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. WE
NEED. OF THE- IN GROW I TO
RAISE AN SUPPORT OF THIS RARE
YOU KNOW IT'S THAT WE SHOW AND
WHAT'S GOING ON ACROSS THE
WORLD AND ESPECIALLY IN THE
UNITED STATES IN CALIFORNIA AND
LEADERSHIP IS IT HEARING TO THE
RULES THAT HELP PREVENTS THE
SPREADING OF COVERT NINETEEN IN
MAKING SURE THAT WE- LEAD BY
EXAMPLE SO I APPLIED THE SENATE
PRO TEM FOR WORKING UP THE
LANGUAGE WITH SPEAKER. AND I
KNOW THAT TIME TO THINK THAT
JUST BECAUSE WE'RE NOT HERE IN
SACRAMENTO THAT WE ARE NOT
GOING TO WORK I A I KNOW THAT
ALL OF US KNOW THAT IS
ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOT TRUE
WE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE IN OUR
DISTRICTS TO RESPOND TO THE
LOCAL ISSUES THAT ARE TAKING
PLACE WE WILL GO HOME AND FACE
THE FACT THAT ALMOST EVERYONE
OF OUR SCHOOLS HAVE CLOSED.
PEOPLE ARE BEING REQUESTED NOT
TO MEET- WITH OVER TEN PEOPLE
IN PRESENCE WHICH WILL AFFECT
OUR AFFECT OUR CHURCHES AND
THEM A LOT OF BUSINESSES AND SO
OUR WORK IT WILL BECOME HARDER
THAN ALL OF US BEING RIGHT HERE
IN THIS BUILDING TRYING TO
ADDRESS LEGISLATIVE ISSUES THAT
COME UP SO I THINK WITH THIS
AND WE'RE WELL. IN OUR
DISTRICTS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
DISTRICTS ARE TAKEN CARE OF
THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU WOULD
THINK IS GOING TO BE A FREE
VACATION AND I KNOW NONE OF YOU
THINK THAT I KNOW THAT E ARE
I'M HEADED HOME TO HARDER WORK
THAN WE'VE EVER FACED BEFORE IN
THIS BUILDING AND SO I
CHALLENGE YOU TO BE TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF YOUR DISTRICT WHICH I
KNOW YOU WILL. AND LET US
CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
SOLVE CALIFORNIA'S PROBLEMS I'M
IN EVERY PART OF THE STATE AND
NOT JUST YOU KNOW IN EVERY PART
OF THE STATE BECAUSE I KNOW
WE'RE ALL FACING THIS TOGETHER.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION A- SCENE
HERE NUNS. MADAM PRO TO. WHICH
CLOSE. I YES I WILL DO THE VERY.
FIVE AND WILL HAVE NO FURTHER
COMMENTS AS WE CLOSE. FOR THE
EVENING- I WANT TO THANK ALL OF
YOU FOR- THESE CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT STEPS THAT WE'VE
TAKEN TODAY AND AYE I EACH AND
EVERYONE OF YOU I WANT TO THANK
BUT I WANT TO EXPAND MY
INCREDIBLE THANKS TO THE
REPUBLICAN LEADER. WE I THINK
HAVE PUT PARTISAN POLITICS
ASIDE TO COME TOGETHER TO TAKE
THESE ACTIONS TODAY. AND FIVE
WE AS YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE BEEN
LOOKING AT EVERY POSSIBLE
ACTION TO TAKE IN ORDER FOR THE
STATE SENATE TO DO OUR PART IN
THIS CRISIS. I DESCRIBE SEVERAL
SEVERAL OF THOSE ACTIONS
EARLIER TODAY OUR
CONSIDERATIONS HAVE BEEN
SCIENCE DRIVEN AND BASED IN
BOTH PROTECTING THE PUBLIC
HEALTH AND MAINTAINING ACCESS
TO THIS PUBLIC INSTITUTION.
RESPONDING TO THE CORRUPT
CORONAVIRUS IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES TO FACE THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE IN
MODERN TIMES. THE RESPONSIBLE
THING FR US TO DO IS TO HELP
FLATTEN THE CURB REDUCE
TRANSMISSION KEEP OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM ABOVE WATER. THAT
IS THE INTENT OF THE ACTIONS
THAT WE ARE TAKING THAT DOES
NOT MEAN. AS THE REPUBLICAN
LEADER SAID THE SENATE WILL BE
CLOSED IN ANY SENSE OF THE WORD
IN FACT I THINK VERY LIKELY
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE WORK
THAN EVER TO DO. IN ADDITION TO
PROVIDING OUR CONSTITUENTS WAS
SUPPORT INFORMATIONAND
GUIDANCE. TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
HEALTH ON COVERT NINETEEN THERE
ARE STILL A CRISIS AND HOUSING
HOMELESSNESS POTENTIAL
DEVASTATION FROM WILDFIRES ANC
LEVEL RISE. STILL PROGRESS IT
NEEDS TO BE MADE ON A HOST OF
CHALLENGES FACING OUR STATE. WE
WILL BE PREPARED ON A MOMENT'S
NOTICE TO RETURN TO ADDRESS ANY
URGENT ACTION THAT WE MUST AND
NEED TO TAKE. I MENTIONED
EARLIER SOME OF THE STAFF WHOSE
WORK IN THE BUILDING ARE
CRITICAL TO ENSURING THE
MECHANICS OF THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE CAPITAL KEEP GOING. I
KNOW MANY OF MY STAFF WILL
CONTINUE WORKING IN THE
BUILDING AS WELL WHILE OTHERS-ARE MY STAFF WILL WORK REMOTELY
YOURS AS WELL. BUT I HAVING A
MIX OF FOLKS WORKING IN THE
BUILDING AND WORKING REMOTELY
WE ABSOLUTELY DO LESSEN THE
RISK. AND AGAIN WE DO OUR PART
TO HELP FLATTEN OCCUR. SO
COLLEAGUES YOU KNOW I KNOW IT'S
GOING TO TAKE PATIENTS AND
SACRIFICE FROM ALL OF US IN
THIS STATE TO MITIGATE THIS
PANDEMIC. AND MINIMIZE ITS HARM
TO OUR HEALTH CARESYSTEMS AND
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. WE
WILL KEEP YOU UPDATED WITH THE
VERY BEST INFORMATION WE CAN IN
THE DAYS AND WEEKS AHEAD. SO
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT FOR
THE ADDITIONAL TIME. PLEASE I
URGE AN AYE VOTE. MEMBERS IS
THERE ANY OBJECTION TO USING A
UNANIMOUS ROLL CALL ON THE SIDE
OF. SEE NINE OZ THIRTY TWO NO
ZERO. THE RESOLUTION IS ADOPTED.
WHAT IS THAT I'M SORRY SENATOR
YEAH AND I IT'S IT REGARDING
THAT ALSO BE UNDER A WE CAN GO
TO MOTIONS RESOLUTIONS IF THAT
WOULD BE A APPROPRIATE. WORD
NOW IT MORE WERE. SOONER BREAUX
THANK YOU MISTER. I DIDN'T
REALIZE THAT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT RECESS I THOUGHT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE SPECIFIC BILL
OF. REGARDING RECESS BUT I KNEW
THAT THE SENATE PRO TEM AND I
WERE GOING TO MAKE CLOSING
REMARKS AND- SO I APOLOGIZE
SENATE PRETEND FOR NOT MAKING
MY CLOSING REMARKS AT THE
PREPARATORY. BUT I DID WANT TO
SHARE WITH YOU THAT. ONE OF MY
FAVORITE SCRIPTURES AS ROMANS
EIGHT TWENTY EIGHT. AM IT'S HAS
GOTTEN WORK ALL THINGS OUT
TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR THOSE OF
US WHO LIVE IN THE CALLED
ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. AND I
THINKABOUT OUR SESSION I'VE
BEEN HERE SIX YEARS IN THE
ASSEMBLY AND NOW YEAR AND A
HALF IN THE SENATE. AND I'VE
NEVER FACED A LEGISLATIVE
SESSION LIKE WE FACE HERE
TODAY. AND NOT TO MENTION WHAT
WE FACE THE LAST NIGHT OF
SESSION. LAST YEAR WHEN WE WERE
HERE SO THERE HAVE BEEN
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES WHERE
WE- EVEN THOUGH OPPOSITE SIDE
THE AISLE WE'VE COME TOGETHER.
AND OVERCAME A LOT OF THINGS.
THE LAST NIGHT A SESSION FOR
INSTANCE. WE OVERCAME LEAVING
THIS PART OF THE CHAMBER AND
GOING INTO A- REMOTE LOCATION
AND THE STAFF PULLED TOGETHER
AND MADE SURE THAT EVERY VOTE
COUNTED IN THAT WE HAD. THE
PROTECTIONS. A CONSTITUTIONALLY
AND- TO PROVE TO THE PUBLIC
THAT WE ACTUALLY CAST THOSE
VOTES HAD MADE THOSE DECISIONS.
SO WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED THIS TIME WITH CODE
NINETEEN AND I THINK ABOUT WHAT
THE SENATE PRO TEM AND I HAVE.
GONE THROUGH. I AM NOT JUST S.
BUT I JUST REALLY DO. I WANT TO
SAY THAT I WOULD NOT RATHER AND
NO OFFENSE TO ANYBODY IN THE
ROOM BUT I WOULD RATHER. AND
SHOULDER TO SHOW. WITH SENATE
PRO TEM TONI ATKINS. ON THIS
ISSUE FACING OUR STATE. BECAUSE
SHE PROVIDES FAIR LEADERSHIP.
SHE INCLUDES S. AND I THINK
THAT WHEN I WHEN I QUOTED THAT
SCRIPTURE EARLIER I THINK
ABOUT. THE PRESIDENT THE UNITED
STATES WORKING WITH THE
GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF%
CALIFORNIA. THE GOVERNOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA SPEAKING POSITIVELY
ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP GOING ON
WITH THE PRESENT UNITED STATES
IN THE ADMINISTRATION TO SOLVE
pTEM THE DEMOCRAT LEADER OF THE
HOUSE AND THE SENATE MINORITY
LEADER THE REPUBLICAN LEADER OF
THE HOUSE WORKING TOGETHER WITH
OUR CAUCUSES TO SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM. AND SO I THINK THAT
THAT JUST SHOWS THAT. YOU KNOW
WE CAN WORK TOGETHER ON ISSUES
THAT FACE CALIFORNIANS AND MAKE
SURE THAT ALL CALIFORNIANS ARE
PROTECTED AND SAFE AND THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING IS THE
PROTECTION AND HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF ALL CALIFORNIANS. NO
WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO CUT
OUT FOR US. AND I THINK THAT.
WE OWE A GREAT DEAL OF
GRATITUDE TO ERICA CONTRARIES
WHO'S THE PRESIDENT OF THE
SENATE. HE HAS PUT TOGETHER A
PLAN TO MAKE SURE THAT
CONSTITUTIONALLY WE ARE- ABLE
TO CAST A VOTE IF WE CANNOT
COME BACK IN CAST A VOTEHERE.
SHE IS PUT TOGETHER A PLAN TO
MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR STAFF
HERE YOU KNOW THREE THOUSAND OR
SO EMPLOYEES IN THIS BUILDING.
THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT.
MATT THERE'S ME WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY AS EMPLOYERS NOT
JUST LEGISLATORS TO GOVERN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA BE A PART
OF THAT PROCESS. BERNIE AND
EVERYBODY THAT'S PARTICIPATED
IN THIS PROJECT THE SERGEANTS
THE CHIEF YOU KNOW EVERYBODY
THAT'S PARTICIPATED IN MAKING
SURE THAT WE'VE BEEN SAFE IN
THIS BUILDING. THE G. S. I MEAN
