GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
SENATORS ON BEHALF OF ASSEMBLY
MEMBER KALRA AB NINETEEN FORTY
SEVEN EXTENDS THE FILING
DEADLINE FOR RETALIATION CLAIMS
FOR THE DIVISION OF LABOR
STANDARDS ENFORCEMENT DLS SEE
FROM SIX MONTHS TO ONE YEAR NOW
OUT FROM LAST YEAR'S AB FOUR OH
THREE FROM TWO YEARS TO ADDRESS
THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
ALLOWS RECOVERY OF ATTORNEYS
FEES TO PREVAILING EMPLOYEES
AND ONLY APPLIES FOR WHISTLE
BLOWER RETALIATION CLAIMS
RETALIATION IS NOT ONLY
PERVASIVE BUT ALSO A GROWING
PROBLEM. DUE TO THE CURRENT
POLITICAL CLIMATE SURROUNDING
IMMIGRATION AND THE LAST FOUR
YEARS OF AVAILABLE DATA FROM
TWENTY FIFTEEN TO TWENTY
EIGHTEEN IMMIGRATION RELATED
RETALIATION CLAIMS FILED WITH
THE T. L. S. E. INCREASED BY
NEARLY 2000% AMID THE PANDEMIC
ADVOCATES REPORT AN INCREASE IN
CALLS REGARDING HEALTH AND
SAFETY ISSUES AND WE JUST UP
AND MISS CLASSIFICATION. IT IS
IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER THAT WE
INSURE ALL LEGAL AND- AVENUES
ARE AVAILABLE FOR WORKERS WHO
COME FORWARD. THE TWO MAIN
BARRIERS WORKERS SPACE TO
FILING A CLAIM ARE DRESSED IN
THIS BILL. FIRST WORKERS WHO
HAVE FACED RETALIATION
ESPECIALLY IN EXTREME FORMS OF
TERMINATION OR VIOLENCE NEED
MORE TIME TO GATHER THE
RESOURCES AND SEEK ASSISTANCE.
A SIMPLE SIX MONTH EXTENSION
FOR FILING A WORKER RETALIATION
CLAIM WILL GIVE PEOPLE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER THEIR
LIVELIHOOD AND THEN. THEIR NEXT
STEPS FOR RECOURSE. AB NINETEEN
FORTY SEVEN ALSO BUILD UPON
EXISTING ABILITIES FOR COURTS
TO WORK REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S
FEES TO ATTORNEYS WHO TAKE
THESE CASES ON BEHALF OF
WORKERS. THIS IS NOT A BILL
INTENDED TO INCREASE LITIGATION
AS THE OPPOSITION ARGUES RATHER
IT IS. IT PROVIDES AN
ADDITIONAL SENSIBLE AND
REASONABLE WAY FOR LOW WAGE
WORKERS TO PURSUE RECOURSE WHEN
IT UNFAIRLY TALLY IT AGAINST
FOR INVOKING THE RIGHTS UNDER
STATE LAW. WITH TO PROVIDE
SUPPORT TESTIMONY IS
CHRISTOPHER SANCHEZ FROM CHIRLA
AND MEDICAL SO HE HADA WITH.
THE CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT
LAWYERS ASSOCIATION AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FERNANDO.
THANK YOU ARE. SENATOR WE HAVE.
I BELIEVE TWO WITNESSES- AND
ARE THEY BOTH INTENDED TO BE ON
THE LINE TALKING REMOTELY YES
AND ARE THEY AVAILABLE. AFTER
YES HELLO AND THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS THIS IS MERRY
GO YOSHI HARDEN THE POLICY
DIRECTOR FOR THE CALIFORNIA
EMPLOYMENT LAWYERS ASSOCIATION.
I'M ARE LAWYERS LIKE MANY OF
YOU I'M SURE- ARE HEARING FROM
SO MANY WORKERS ACROSS THE
STATE WHO FEEL UNSAFE AT WORK
BECAUSE THEIR EMPLOYERS NOT
TAKING PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO
PROTECT THEM FROM BECAUSE THE
NINETEEN. AND THE LEGISLATURE
IS WORKING ON ANY OF THE BILL
TO ADDRESS THE SITUATION THAT
HELPS STRENGTHEN PROTECTIONS
FOR OUR ITS CENTRAL WORKERS IN
CALIFORNIA BUT THE RIGHT ACTION
THAT WE PUT IN PLACE FOR
WORKERS REALLY MEAN NOTHING IF
THEY CAN BE FIRED RETALIATED
AGAINST FOR TRYING TO A THIRD
THOSE RIGHT OR ASK FOR THOSE
PROTECTION. THE REALITY OF MANY
WORKERS. SPEAK OUT BECAUSE WE
SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE
THEIR JOB ESPECIALLY IN THIS
ECONOMY. I REMEMBER THOSE
WORKERS WHO DO SPEAK OUT AND DO
FACE RETALIATION SIX MONTHS
DOES NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR THEM
FILE CLAIMS LABOR. THAT. WILL
HELP INSURE THAT THESE WERE
DON'T LOSE THEIR- BY GIVING
THEM AND SIX. OF THEIR CAR. ON
EIGHTEEN FORTY SEVEN WILL. HELP
WORKER THE TICKET. LOW WAY.
IMMIGRANT WORK TO GET
ASSISTANCE. FOR WHAT THE LOWER
RETALIATION CLAIM BECAUSE IT
WILL ALLOW THOSE RECOVERS
WORKERS TO RECOVER THEIR
ATTORNEY. THE NEXT. RIGHT NOW
I'M LIKE MOST THE END FEDERAL
WHISTLEBLOWER STATUTE THERE IS
NO ATTORNEY P. PROVISION WHICH
MEANS THE WORKER HALF THE PAY
THEIR LEGAL FEES THROUGH A
PORTION OF THEIR RECOVERY. OR
ELSE FIND AN ATTORNEY TO TAKE
THE CASE FOR FREE. I'M AT THE
RECENT NEW YORK TIMES EDITORIAL
POINTED OUT ALLOWING WORKERS TO
RECOVER THEIR ATTORNEY FEES IF
THEY PREVAILED DOES NOT
INCENTIVIZE FRIVOLOUS
LITIGATION BECAUSE OF COURSE
THE LAWYER GET NOTHING I'M NOT
THEY WENT. MICHAEL WILL LOSE
ALL THE THEY PUT INTO A INTO
WORKING ON A CASE IF THE CLAIM
HAS NO MERIT IN REALITY
ALLOWING THE RECOVERY OF
ATTORNEY FEES REALLY PROVIDES
MORE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO
JUSTICE BECAUSE LOWER WAGE
WORKERS CAN PAY THEIR LEGAL
FEES REGARDLESS OF WHAT THEY
END UP RECOVERY. AND THEIR
AWARD WHICH IS OFTEN TIED TO
THE WAGES. THIS BILL. WILL HELP
INSURE MORE WORKERS ABLE TO
ENFORCE THEIR RIGHTS UNDER THE
LABOR CODE WHICH WE KNOW IT'S
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT SO MANY
WORKERS ARE RISKING THEIR LIVES
DURING AND THAT MAKE. THE FOR
ALL THESE REASONS WE STRONGLY
URGE YOUR SUPPORT. THANK YOU

RIGHT SO- NOW WE WILL BRING THE
MATTER BACK TO DISCUSSION OF
WITHIN THE DYE IS HERE AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. AND
LET'S GO AHEAD AND- I BELIEVE A
SENATOR BORCHERS SHE WANTED TO
SPEAK. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
I'D LIKE TO ALSO- EXPRESS A
HEARTY- CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR
NEWEST MEMBER- SENT FORMER
ASSEMBLY WOMAN MELINDA'S NOW
SENATOR MELINDA'S TO OUR FIND
COMMITTEE. I HAVE A QUESTION
AND I'M NOT CERTAIN TO WHOM I
SUPPOSE IT IS. IT'S. IF A PARTY
INITIATES SUIT OR A GRIEVANCE
ON TO THE LABOR COMMISSIONER.
CAN AT THAT- GRIEVANCE BE
WITHDRAWN IF THE PARTIES
SETTLED THE MATTER OUTSIDE OF
THE COMMISSION SETTING. TWO WE
ED IT MADAM PRESENTER FOOD LIKE
TO SPEAK OR WE DO HAVE TO I
BELIEVE THE TO- WITNESSES
EXPERTS ON THE LINE WHO MAY BE
ABLE TO ASSIST IN ANSWERING
THAT QUESTION THE STANDARD ARE
YOU STILL ON THE LINE. SORRY.
TO HAVE MR OFF. YES MERRY GO
MERRY WHICH USED MY UNDER IS
YEAH AND IF THE IF THE MATTER
IS SETTLED THAT BIN AND THEN IT
WILL BE WITHDRAWN FROM THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER'S PROCESS TO
A FINANCIAL SETTLEMENT BETWEEN
THE PARTIES THAT'S REACHED-
COULD CRITICIZE TO ASIAN WHERE
THE GRIEVANCES WITHDRAWN FROM
THE LABOR COMMISSION. THAT'S
CORRECT. MY UNDERSTANDING THE
REASON THE REASON WHY I ASK
AUTO BUT IT. I'M SORRY GO AHEAD.
I KNOW GO AHEAD. THE REASON WHY
I ASK IS IN THE COURSE OF
BUSINESS I THINK WHAT IS LIKELY
TO HAPPEN. AND I WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT THE FOLKS THAT DON'T
THINK THAT PLAINTIFFS ATTORNEYS
FOR CONSUMER ATTORNEYS WHO
WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS
OPPORTUNITY. IS THAT IF IT'S
THE CASE THE ATTORNEYS FEES
COULD BE COLLECTED AND IT IS A
ONE SIDED- AS OPPOSED TO WHAT
WE LEARNED IN LAW SCHOOL THE
BRITISH RULE AND- BY WAY OF
BACKGROUND. THE BRITISH RULE IS
THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IS
ABLE TO COLLECT NOT JUST. ON
ONE SIDE A SITUATION LIKE THIS
SO I THINK IN TERMS OF EQUITY I
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL
LIKELY BE AN IMBALANCE OF
RESOURCES BETWEEN A LOW WAGE
EMPLOYEE VERSES EIGHT
CORPORATION I UNDERSTAND THAT
BUT FOR PURPOSES OF EQUITY. IF
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE FOR
ATTORNEYS FEES- ON THE TABLE I
THINK WE'VE HEARD FROM FOLKS IN
THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT ON
THEY DON'T HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
THE EXTENSION OF THE- STATURE
THE LIMITATIONS THEY HAVE ISSUE
WITH THE ATTORNEYS FEES AS TO
WHY SO I THINK. IF EQUITY IS
GUIDING THIS THEN I THINK IT
WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TO I'LL-
BOTH PARTIES THE ABILITY TO
COLLECT BUT HERE'S REALLY WHERE
IT'S GONNA GO I SUSPECT. IS
THAT. ONE DO WE HAVE A DEFINITE
DO WE HAVE A DEFINITION OF THE
PREVAILING PARTY IN A CIVIL
ACTION. I'M NOT CERTAIN ABOUT
LABOR CIRCUMSTANCE BUT A CIVIL
ACTION. IT COULD BE A PARTIAL
VICTORY. LAW WOULD ALLOW AN
INDIVIDUAL TO DECLARE
THEMSELVES A PREVAILING PARTY
IT COULD BE 51% OF THE ACTIONS
OR DETERMINATIONS IN ONES
FAVOR- WHATEVER THE GUIDING
PRINCIPLE IS SO I DON'T KNOW
HOW IT PERTAINS IN A LABOR-
CONTEXT OF RETALIATION WHETHER
TO ONE DETERMINED OF. JUDGMENT
ON THE ISSUE OR THURSDAY
ASSEMBLY OF DIFFERENT ISSUES SO
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT HOW YOU
WOULD COME ABOUT WITH A
PREVAILING DETERMINATION THE
PREVAILING PARTY BUT MORE
REALISTICALLY. IF WE CAN IF WE
CAN APPRECIATE THAT THESE
THINGS ARE GOING TO BE SETTLED
BY VIRTUE OF THE ELIGIBILITY
FOR- FOR THE FOR THE
ELIGIBILITY OF ATTORNEYS FEES.
I CAN EASILY SEE. ATTORNEYS
RACKING UP RETALIATION
ALLEGATIONS AGAINST AN EMPLOYER.
EMPLOYER CALCULATING THE COST
OF GOING TO TRIAL OR GOING TO A
REGULATORY BODY IN DEFENDING
ITSELF IN SIMPLY SAYING I WILL
OFFER YOU THIS TO WITHDRAW YOUR
COMPLAINT. AND THAT I THINK IS
A TERRIBLE DISINCENTIVE IN THE
WORK FORCE BECAUSE THE
CORPORATION OR THE BUSINESS
WILL SIPLYLOOK AT THE
OVERHEAD OF WHAT IT TAKES TO GO
THROUGH A REGULATORY REVIEW
WORD MINISTRY TO REVIEW. AND
JUST PAY IT OUT SO BY VOLUME
YOU COULD BE LOOKING AT
ATTORNEYS. ASSEMBLING A NUMBER
OF INDIVIDUALS AND HAVE THIS
BEING A CASH COW SO- I THINK I
WOULD CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE
FIRST PART OF IT. I WOULD ASK
THE AUTHOR OR THE PERSON
REPRESENTING THE AUTHOR. CAN'T
WE JUST LEAVE THE FIRST PART
THERE FOR THE EXTENSION. AND
WITHDRAW THE ATTORNEY'S FEES
PORTION THAT I THINK WOULD MAKE
THIS. A BI PARTISAN IN
CERTAINLY AN ACCEPTABLE BILL IN
MY OPINION THANK YOU CENTER
PORCHES BEFORE I GO TO SENATOR
MORNING LET ME OBSERVE WE DON'T
USE THE BRITISH SYSTEM- AND
THERE'S A GOOD REASON WE DON'T
WE HAVE VERY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
OF JUSTICE. AND IN TERMS OF THE
BALANCE OF POWER. THERE'S NO
QUESTION THAT CORPORATIONS.
HAVE MUCH GREATER RESOURCES AND
WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO HAVE AN
ATTORNEY'S FEES PRISON
PREVENTION. MANY PARTICULAR OF
OUR LOW WAGE WORKERS HAVE NO
RESOURCES I DON'T KNOW TOO MANY
ATTORNEYS WHO ARE WILLING TO
WORK FOR FREE THESE DAYS. AND
WE CERTAINLY PULL THE PLUG ON A
LOT OF OUR LEGAL AID PROGRAMS
THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD DO THAT
SO- I THINK THAT TO. YOU'D LIKE
TO BRING A BILL PERHAPS PICTURE
THAT PUSHED MOVES US INTO THE
BRITISH SYSTEM I'M SURE THAT
THAT WOULD TO. BE SOMETHING
THAT- YOU COULD TO- I THINK THE
SYSTEM WE HAVE HERE WORKS WELL
AND THESE DIRE PREDICTIONS JUST
DON'T EVER SEEM TO HAPPEN- SO.
THE WORST CASE SCENARIO IS MORE
FICTIONAL THAN FACT AND- I
THINK WE- WE REALLY NEED TO.
RECOGNIZE THAT. LAWSUIT AND-
THE OPPORTUNITY TO EQUALIZE THE
PLAYING FIELD JUST SIMPLY DON'T
HAPPEN IF. PLAINTIFFS WHO ARE
MOST OF THEM. WITHOUT THE
RESOURCES ARE FIGHTING THE
GOLIATH OF CORPORATE AMERICA
WE'RE MANY OF THEM HAVE
STABLES. ALL FOR A- UP ON ON
SITE COUNCIL. THE RARE IN TO GO
AND VERY HAPPY TO. AND THESE
CLAIMS AND OF COURSE IF IT'S A
FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT AGAINST
THROWN OUT AND THERE ARE
ATTORNEYS FEES PROVISIONS LET'S
NOT FORGET. THAT THERE IS AN
INHERENT BALANCE THAT IS
CREATED WHEN YOU HAVE A
FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT. LAWYERS
GENERALLY WON'T TAKE A CASE
UNLESS THEY BELIEVE THAT THERE
IS MERIT TO IT BECAUSE THEY
WON'T GET PAID. AND AS SOMEONE
WHO HAS PRACTICED LAW- YOU
DON'T. WANT TO TAKE THOSE CASES
BECAUSE THERE'S USUALLY NOT
ONLY YOUR TIME THAT IS NOT
COMPENSATED BUT OUT OF POCKET
EXPENSES AS WELL. AND OF COURSE
IF A SETTLEMENT IS REACHED- THE
CASE IS RESOLVED AND- THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO HAVE
HAPPEN AND FRANKLY SOME OF US
ARE HOPING THAT WE DON'T HAVE
TO EVEN. UP THE SHOULD BE. COMP
WILL COMPLY. AND THAT'S THE
ULTIMATE GOAL IN IF YOU HAVE A
HEAVY CAMERA THAT'S THE
INCENTIVE. OFFER COMPLIANCE AND
CHANGED THE WORKING WELL SO
WITH THAT SENATOR MONNING. I
JUST WANTED ALSO MY WELCOMING.
MELINDA'S TO THE COMMITTEE
WELCOME- THIS IS WHERE WE GET
TO HAMMER OUT ALL KINDS OF
EXCITING LEGAL ISSUES IF YOU
WANT A LAWYER COMING IN YOU'LL
BE A- LAWYER LEAVING- FOR
BETTER OR WORSE IN A- COUPLE OF
COMMENTS THE CHAIR ADDRESS SOME
OF THIS. IT'S MY EXPERIENCE
THAT IF THERE'S AN OUT OF COURT
SETTLEMENT BETWEEN AN EMPLOYEE
AND EMPLOYER. PART OF THAT
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS THE
WITHDRAWAL OF THE CHARGE FROM
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER IT'S
NEGOTIATED IT'S PART OF THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT. THERE'S
NOTHING IN THIS THAT PREVENTS.
THAT BEING A COMPONENT OF A
SETTLED CASE. ON THE ATTORNEY'S
FEES ISSUE WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD
LEGISLATION PROPOSED. TO
REQUIRE- LOSING. PLAINTIFF WHO
ALLEGES RETALIATION HAVE TO
SHOULDER ATTORNEYS FEES AND
THAT'S NEVER MADE IT THROUGH
THE LEGISLATURE AND IN TWO.
WELL YOU CAN LOOK AT THE
BALANCE OF POWER IN THE
LEGISLATURE OR YOU CAN LOOK AT
THE EQUITY QUESTION OF WHAT ARE
WE TO PUTS THE PUBLIC POLICY.
OF ANALYZING AN EMPLOYER WHO
RETALIATES ILLEGALLY AGAINST AN
EMPLOYEE. WHO COMPLAINS THAT
SAY ABOUT AN UNSAFE WORKING
CONDITION. BUT SAY WORKING
CONDITION THAT COULD COULD
SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL OTHER
WORKERS. A WORKER BRINGS THAT
TO THE ATTENTION OF
AUTHORITIES. AND IS TERMINATED
FOR THAT. IF THERE'S THE THREAT
OF HAVING TO SHOULDER.
EXTRAORDINARY ATTORNEY'S FEES
IF YOU DON'T PREVAIL. IN THAT
CASE. EIGHT THE PUBLIC POLICY
IMPACT IS A CHILLING IMPACT ON
BRINGING TO THE. FOR REPORTS
EXERCISING EXISTING ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISMS WHETHER THAT'S TO
CAL OSHA OR THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER ON WAGE CLAIMS
THAT CENTURY SO THE PUBLIC
POLICY DIVIDE IN IN WHAT MAY
LOOK LIKE AN IMBALANCE OF WHO'S
ELIGIBLE FOR ATTORNEYS FEES IT
THAT THAT IMBALANCE IN
APPEARANCE IS BALANCED TERMS OF
THE PUBLIC POLICY ENCOURAGED
YOU DON'T WANNA CHILL AFFECT ON
SOME MISSING. SOME THAT BUT IF
CLEAN IN PURSUE A CASE AND
DON'T PREVAIL MY FAMILY I'M
WORKING FOR MINIMUM WAGE I
CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THE
ATTORNEY'S FEES. OF A
CORPORATION- SO THAT'S WHY I
THINK THERE'S- UNNECESSARY
DISTINCTION BETWEEN WHO'S
ELIGIBLE ON AND IS THIS BILL
BOTH EXTENDS A STATUE
LIMITATIONS AND REAFFIRMS THAT
PRINCIPLE I'LL BE SUPPORTING
THE BILL TODAY IN MADAME SHARED
LIKE TO MOVE THE BILL AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME. VERY GOOD-
CENTER I CAL SKI. AND HIGH I
DON'T SEE ANY OTHER HAND UP
SENATOR STERN CHOICE IN WHAT
YOU'RE GOOD BUT WILL END WITH
THE OBSERVATION BY CENTER Y.
CASKEY I'M ON PAGE SIX OF THE
STAFF AND ALL SUS UNDER PRE
EXISTING CLAIMS THE AUTHOR
AGREES WITH THE- THE FLAPS. ARE
CLAIMS THAT THERE'S NO REVIVAL
SINCE THE BILL SIMON ON IT
JUST. DOUBLE CHECKING. AND I
WOULD LIKE TO WELCOME CENTER
MELENDEZ TO THE COMMITTEE ALSO.
HE SAID I SING THAT THAT'S- THE
ANALYSIS THEY HAVE IN YEARS.
I'M SURE WOULD YOU REPEAT THAT
GET THE HIT THEY TALK ABOUT PRE
SIXTEEN CLAIMS THAT THERE'S THE
BILL SILENT ON ARE REVIVING ANY
LAPSE CLAIMS THAT THERE IT'S
ONLY GOING FORWARD A
PROSPECTIVE CLAIMS THE DO A
NICE ANALYSIS OF THE SUPREME
COURT DECISION ON THIS SO I
ASSUME THAT THAT'S- THE AUTHOR
AGREES. THERE'S NO TRICKS HERE.
IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IS THE CASE
BUT ALL DEFERRED OF MARIE GO AS
WELL AS SHE HAS ADDITIONAL OR
CHRISTOPHER FOR ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION ON THAT I BELIEVE
THAT'S CORRECT BUT LET'S GO
AHEAD AND GET CONFIRMATION- ARE
ONE OF THE TWO OF YOU MISS-
MISTER LET'S SEE I HAVE
CHRISTOPHER AMERICAL I
APOLOGIZE I DON'T LAST NAMES
ARE. NOT AS QUICK TO OF TO MY
MIND BUT IF EITHER OF YOU- HAS
A COMMENT TO CONFIRM OR REJECT

EXPRESSING THAT TO US. YES FEET
THE INTENDED NOT TO REVISE
BLOCKED CLAIMS THAT IT'S FOR-
EXISTING CLAIM TO EXPAND. THAT
THE TIME PERIOD. FOR THOSE
EXISTING CLAIM NOT TO REVISE

THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. IT BRIEFLY PLEASE
THANK YOU. I AGREE WITH THE
COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES I DID WANT
TO POINT OUT ASSEMBLY BILL LINE
BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER RACE LAST
YEAR WHICH EXTENDED THE
STRUCTURE LIMITATIONS FOR
CLAIMS EXPLICITLY PROVIDEDTHAT
IT DID NOT REVIVED LAPSED
CLAIMS SO WE THINK IT WOULD BE
CONSISTENT WITH THAT STATUTE
AND MORE CLEAR IF THAT'S THE
INTENT TO EXPLICITLY PROVIDE SO
IN THIS LEGISLATION THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF THAT WE
DON'T HAVE OUR- CONSULTANT WITH
US IN THE ROOM TO RAISE THAT
ISSUE BUT CERTAINLY WE WILL.
HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSIONS ALONG
THAT LINE WITHOUT ANY PROMISES
JUST CAN'T DO. OUR THE TO HAVE
THAT ONE ON ONE BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT WAS THE INTENT AND-
IF THE AUTHOR IS WILLING TO
TAKE FURTHER CLARIFICATION THAT
CERTAINLY- WOULD MAKE SENSE-
BUT WE ARE NOW THIS BILL IS
BEEN MOVED AGAIN THE MOTION. IS
TO PASS. A TO APPROPRIATIONS
BEFORE THAT DID YOU WISH TO SAY
SOMETHING I DID- MANAGER I
APOLOGIZE BUT- CHRISTOPHER AND
MARIE CAL IS IT. COULD YOU

OUTSIDE FOLKS ANSWERING
QUESTIONS ON ASSEMBLY MEMBER
TOM KALRA IS BILL. WELL IT'S

WILL INDICATE TO THAT ONE OF
THE COURTESIES THAT HAS BEEN

A CONFINED SPACE AS POSSIBLE
THAT WE ARE OFFERING AND THE
ASSEMBLY IS ALSO REST
RECIPROCATING AND OFFERING
THERE. ARE COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO
PRESENT BILLS ON BEHALF OF THE

PRODUCT OF LITERALLY YEARS OF
EFFORT BY MY OFFICE TO UPDATE
CALIFORNIA LAW FOR THE NEW
REALITY OF ONLINE CHARITABLE

NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BEEN LED BY
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL THAT BEGAN
LAST FALL. OUR STATE AND LOCAL

PROVIDE SUPPORT TO LOCAL
CHARITIES. THERE ARE VARIOUS
WAYS TO GIVE ONLINE INCLUDING
DIRECTLY TO A CHARITY AND
INDIRECTLY TO VARIOUS CHARITIES
THROUGH ONLINE PLATFORMS THAT
LIST ALL CHARITIES REGISTERED
WITH THE IRS. THE BENEFITS AND
EFFICIENCIES OF TODAY'S
TECHNOLOGY ALLOWING
CALIFORNIANS TO DONATE TO
VIRTUALLY ANY CHARITY DO NOT
FIT EASILY WITHIN THE CURRENT
LETTER OF THE LAW. AT WHICH
NEVER CONTEMPLATED A PERSON OR
COMPANY WOULD HAVE THE CAPACITY
TO SOLICIT FOR MORE THAN A
HANDFUL OF PARTNER CHARITIES.
AB TWENTY TWO AWAY WILL ALLOW

CONTINUED ABILITY TO PROTECT
THE PUBLIC OUR OFFICE NEEDS TO
BE IN A POSITION TO OVERSEE

NEW CONCERNS WHATEVER THEY
ARRIVE. AS POINTED OUT IN THE
COMMITTEE ANNOUNCEMENTS IN TIME
OF NATURAL DISASTER WE SEE AN
INCREASE ONLINE SHOWING

RELATES TO GENERAL FUND RAISING
AND DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE WORK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND OUR STAFF

MEASURE BUT UNFORTUNATELY AFTER
NINE MONTHS OF CONVERSATIONS
AND STAKEHOLDER MEETING. TECH
THAT REMAINS OPPOSING LAST
MINUTE ON AB TWENTY TWO OH
EIGHT. I MEMBER COMPANIES WORK
WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS AND
PARTNERS TO RAISING PROCESS
BILLION DOLLARS IN DONATIONS

EVER THIS IS GOING EXPECT
HIGHLIGHTED DURING THE COKE

REASON CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT

AND LOCAL COMMUNITY. WE WANT TO
ENSURE THAT THE PROVISIONS OF
AB TWENTY TWO EIGHTEEN NOT
NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE
SUCCESSFUL FUNDRAISING EFFORTS
THAT HAVE BEEN REALIZED TO OUR
PLATFORMS. IN ORDER TO
ACCOMPLISH THIS WE HAVE
PROPOSES HERE'S AMENDMENTS TO
THE AUTHOR THAT WOULD. HELP
REMEDY THE TENANTS OF THOSE
LEGISLATION WITH THE REALITIES
OF OUR CURRENT CHARITABLE
PRACTICES. FIRST IT IS
IMPERATIVE THAT OUR MEMBERS ARE
PROVIDED TIME TO ADAPT TO NEW
STATUTORY AND STILL UNKNOWN
REGULATORY SCHEMES CONTEMPLATED
IT AB TWENTY TWO OH EIGHT. FOR
THIS REASON WE THINK A DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION FOR BUSINESSES
TO MODIFY. THEIR CURRENT
PROSTHESES. IN ORDER TO BE.
WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE OVERHAUL
AND CHAIRED GIVING PROCESS.
SECOND WE REQUEST A LITTLE.
RECIPIENTS AND STAND AT THE IN
THIS. SHOULD BE MORE. OF NON.
CHARITY INCLUDING THOSE OUT OF
THE UNIED STATES THEY MAY NOT
BE. BY THE ARE OR AT THESE WERE.
THIRD TECH THAT REMAINS
CONCERNED ABOUT THE BROAD
STATUTE STATUTORY AT THE
DEFERRED AN AGING OFFICE FOR.
RULEMAKING THE BILL AS MANY
PRESCRIPTIVE COMPONENTS CLEARLY
OUTLINED IN THE LANGUAGE THE
BILL ALSO MAKES SPECIFIC
ALLOWANCE THE AG TO
SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE. THE
STATUTORY PARAMETERS OF THIS
BILL ONE EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE
OPEN IN THE NATURE OF WHAT
INFORMATION WOULD BE REQUIRED

IN STATUTE BUT WHICH COULD BE
RESULT AND CATCH YOU ANOTHER

CHARITABLE FUNDRAISING CLASS
FORMER PLATFORMS. TO JESSE
CHANGES IN TECH. IN CLASS
FUNDRAISING CLOUT FOR. WE
BELIEVE FEATURES AND ARE BETTER
OFF. AND WILL DO. BY ABILITY
OUT THAN WHAT THE DOJ. THE
REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN THE

REGULATORY AUTHORITY THAT WE

COUPLE OTHER ISSUES- THAT OUR
ORGANIZATION HAS FLAGS- RELATED
TO THE- BILL'S COULD STAND
REQUIREMENTS. WE BELIEVE
ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS- ALONE
FOR A LIST OF ORGANIZATIONS IN
GOOD STANDING THREE MACHINE
READABLE WOULD BE HELPFUL TO
REDUCE ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS-
AND MAKE IT EASIER TO IMPLEMENT
THE BILL- IN- THE BILL'S
REQUIRE. PLACE BURDENS ON.
HUNDRED AND PLATFORMS COULD

BENEFICIAL- I. SIR OVER AND MY
APOLOGIES FOR WE ARE TO KEEP

FURTHER LINES IN Q. AT THIS
TIME ALL RIGHT THE WE WILL THEN
BRING THIS BACK TO DISCUSSION-
ALONG THE MEMBERS AND I BELIEVE
CENTER BORCHERS FALL BY CENTER
Y. CASKEY. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR I WOULD LIKE TO THINK A
ASSEMBLY WOMAN OR ONE FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I THINK
THERE ARE SOME REALLY.
IMPORTANT TOOLS THAT ARE BEING
PROPOSED. ON I THINK WE HAVE
SEEN THAT. WHEN PEOPLE ARE
DRAWN EITHER THROUGH SOCIAL
MEDIA OR ODD THROUGH OTHER TECH
MEANS- TO SUPPORT A CAUSE- IN
THOSE INDIVIDUALS DONATE
DOLLARS TO THIS BECAUSE USING A
PLATFORM. IT'S A SITUATION
WHERE THINGS CAN GO AWRY
MEANING THAT THE PLATFORM OR
THE FOLKS THAT ARE OPERATING AT
A OR SUBMITTING THE MESSAGE TO
THE VIEWER CAN MISLEAD THE
VIEWER- IN ALL USING EXAMPLE-
THERE WAS A- THERE WAS A
FOREIGN ENTITY- ASKING FOR
DONATIONS TO SUPPORT TO SUPPORT
THAT REFUGEES. AND IT WAS LATER
REVEALED THAT IT WAS TO A
TOTALLY UNRELATED- ENTITY THAT
USE THAT PLATFORM TO BY PASS
AND GIVE THE DOLLARS ON TO
ANOTHER PURPOSE THAT SOME WITH
THE THAT SCHIST FRAUD BUT I
THINK T'S RIPE THAT STUFF LIKE
THIS DOES HAPPEN- I THINK WE'VE
HEARD THAT. EVEN WITH THIS GOOD
IDEA THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
IMPORTANT. STAKEHOLDERS THAT
ARE RECOMMENDING THE THIS. MOVE
FORWARD WITH SOME AMENDMENTS
AND MORE DISCUSSION AND I KINDA
GETS TO MY LAST POINT IS- I
WOULD LIKE TO SUPPORTER VERSION
OF THIS BILL AT SOME POINT IN
TIME I THINK RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT.
FULLY DEVELOPED IN A WAY THAT I
THINK IT COULD BE. AND I'M KIND
OF CONCERNED THAT. HOW THIS
FITS IN WITH OUR OVERALL-
APPRECIATION OF BILLS THAT
SHOULD BE HEARD IN OUR
TRUNCATED- TIMELINE IT'S NOT
COLLUDED RELATED. IT'S NOT TIME
SENSITIVE IT'S NOT COMPLETELY
VETTED SO I DON'T KNOW WHY.
THIS WAS ELIGIBLE AND SHOULDN'T
BE BROUGHT BACK IN JANUARY.
MAYBE ALL THE FOR MY QUESTION
TO CHAIR WOMAN TO EXPLAIN HOW
WE'RE DEALING WITH THIS
PARTICULAR BILL UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES. THE COVERT
SESSION IS AN IMPERFECT SCIENCE.
THAT THAT'S MY RESPONSE SENATOR
WHY CAL SKI. WELL I'M GLAD I'M
GLAD THAT THAT'S NO CLEAR THE
AIR. THAT IT'S NOT BASED ON THE
LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT WAS PER.
I WOULD RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
THAT DISCUSSION HERE WE'RE HERE
WITH THE HEARING WE'VE GOT A
BILL BEFORE US- AND- SENATOR
WHERE CASKEY IF YOU'D LIKE TO
PROCEED PLEASE FEEL FREE. FROM
THE OPPOSITE IN ABOUT NO
GUIDANCE IN CERTAIN- AREAS
ABOUT THE H. E. L. AT ISSUE IN
THESE REGULATIONS TAKEN FROM ON
THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE MORE
GUIDANCE ON PAGE TEN OF OUR
ANALYSIS TO TALK ABOUT DO
REGISTRATION FOR COMMERCIAL
CHARITIES. I WANT TO KNOW IF-
IS THE SUGGESTION THAT MAYBE.
THE EIGHT ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
MAYBE DEPUTY LIEU ONCE ANSWER
THIS FOR THE AUTHORS AT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL DOES HAVE THE-
OPTION TO EXEMPT PEOPLE THAT
ARE ALREADY. REPORTING
REGISTERED AND LIKE WHAT IS HE
AUTHORS THOUGHTS ON THAT. I'D I
WOULD I WOULD FIRST LIKE TO SAY
IS YOU KNOW THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR. THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR
THIS BILL AND IT IS VERY
RELEVANT TO COUPLE THAT THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS COMING
INTO THE ONLINE PLATFORMS IS.
ABSOLUTELY EXPLODING AND IN
SOME WAYS ONLINE GIVING IS THE
WILD WEST SO I WOULD LIKE TO
THE- THAT. THEN SENATOR
JACKSON'S ABOUT OF AND REALLY
GETTING DOWN INTO THE WEEDS ON
THIS BILL AND IT HAS BEEN A
VERY A HARD BALANCING ACT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR
SPONSOR- WHO IS REALLY LEADING
THE DISCUSSIONS IN SUPPORT TO
KEEP CAL NON PROFITS IN SUPPORT
AND REALLY TRYING TO ADDRESS
ALSO THE ISSUES OF TECH THAT
THAT WILL CONTINUE OVER THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS BUT WE ARE NOT
IN ANY WAY GOING TO REDUCE
CONSUMER PROTECTION WHICH IS
REALLY WHAT THIS BILL IS ALL
ABOUT SO. ON YOUR SPECIFIC.
QUESTION I THINK IT'S MUCH
BETTER THAT THE SPOT OF ANSWER
THE SO I EITHER MISTER LOW OR
MISTER ARMSTRONG I'M SURE CAN
YOU TALK ABOUT TO REGISTRY
LET'S GO AHEAD. MISSION WHEN I
IS THE PERSON YOU'RE TO GET.
BOB TO YOU DO THAT MR HOFFMAN
FISH ON THE CALL FOR YOUR
YOU'LL SIGN THIS IS HAPPENING I
THINK YOU ARE. AND I THINK
BRIAN WILL TRY ABOUT COULD
SORRY MIGHT BE FACIAL. ALL
RIGHT SO WE DO HAVE ON THE CALL.
TRYING TO FLEE THROUGH ALL OF
THE NOTES IS THAT RIGHT
CHALLENGE WE DO HAVE LET ME IT
THIS WAY WE HAVE AG ON THE CALL
WHOEVER WOULD LIKE TO ANSWER
THIS QUESTION FROM THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. SURE YOUR HONOR THIS IS
THIS IS BRIAN ARMSTRONG. LET ME
EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT MORE OF
THE CONCEPT OF A TOOL
REGISTRATION AND HOW IT'S
REALLY NOT A PROBLEM-
ESSENTIALLY THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL NEEDS TO KNOW WHO'S
DOING WHAT FOR INSTANCE TWO
BUTTONS AT THE WALL. THAT THE
FIRM IS PLAYING WHEN THEY'RE
SOLICITING DONATIONS POLLUTION
HALF THE GAS. AND FIGURE THAT
OUT- AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF REGISTRATION CATEGORY
IF THERE'S ONE CALLED THE TREE
HE IS A CENTURY ASKS ARE. OLD
CHARITABLE ASSET. THERE'S A
WEDGE AND WHAT WILL FOR THAT
THAT FOCUSED ON FOR INSTANCE
CHAIRED CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
AND THE PROVIDING INFORMATION
ALONG THE LINES OF FLAKE OUT OF
FINANCIAL STATEMENT THAT YOU'LL
SEE FROM AN AUDITOR IT REALLY
INVOLVES FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF
BEING A CHARITY- MEANWHILE WHAT
WE HAVE HERE IS- BUT THE BILL-
ENVISIONED AS A CHARITABLE
FUNDRAISING PLATFORM. IS VERY
WELL MAY NOT BE AN ACTUAL
CHARITY AT ALL ALTHOUGH IN SOME
CASES THE COULD BE. AND THIS IS
AN AND IN THE OPTIONAL ROLE
THAT IF IT IS A CHARITY BUT IT
MAY TAKE ON AND IT'S KIND OF
LIKE THEY'RE THEY'RE TAKING ON
THE ROLE OF FUND RAISING FOR
OTHER CHARITY. SO WE NEED TO
KNOW FOR INSTANCE WHO IS
SERVING IN THAT ROLE OUR
CAPACITY OF A CHARITABLE
FUNDRAISING TOP FORM. SO WE CAN
SUPERVISE FACILITATION FOR
POSSIBLE WRONGDOING. IN THIS
BAG FOR AN ADDITIONAL
REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS SO WE
CAN LEARN THAT FOR AN
ADEQUATELY PROTECT THE PUBLIC
SPECIFIC TO THE ONLINE.
SOLICITATION WHAT PORTING
REQUIREMENTS THAT GO WITH
REGISTRATION WOULD BE SPECIFIC
ALSO TO THE ONLINE FLIRTATIONS
SO THERE WOULDN'T BE
DUPLICATION AND REPORTING AND
NOT CARD. I DO WANT TO POINT
OUT TODAY THAT THERE IS A DUAL
REGISTRATION AS A RELATES TO
THESE TYPES OF TRUSTEES TODAY.
OR NOT IT'S WHEN THEY PERFORM
RAFFLES WHICH IS THE TYPE OF
THE LEGAL FORM OF GAMBLING AND
WHEN A CHARITY PERFORMS ARRIVAL
THEY NEED TO REGISTER IN
ADVANCE BEFORE PERFORMING THE
RAFFLES AND PROVIDE- SEPARATE
REPORTING ON THAT AS WELL- YOU
KNOW THAT. THIS IS WORKED OUT
FINE AND THE CAPACITY OF
RAFFLES LIKE THAT. I'M. AND WE
WE'RE NOT SEEING THE CONCERN
THAT. IT MAY HAVE. THE DOOR
REGISTRATION. THE THAT'S IT
YOUR HONOR. THANK YOU DESERVE
TO YEAH I THINK SO I EIGHTH.
WE'RE WE'RE SAYING THAT THE
POLL ON THE- THAT MAY PRESENT
AS A CHARITABLE PLATFORM BUT
BUT IS DIFFERENT FROM THE
ACTUAL- TRUST IN THE CHURCH
ORGANIZATION AND IF THERE'S
DIFFERENCES THERE THEN WE WANT
TO BE ABLE TO SKIP THOSE PEOPLE
IN AND THE BILL. OKAY SO THE
GET AN AGING THIS COULD I COME
JUST MAKE ONE THE VERY BRIEFLY
SIR. SURE THAT OF WE ARE.
REVIEWING AMEND UNDERLYING THAT
WE'RE MADE. TO THE COMMITTEE ON
MONDAY AFTERNOON. AND WE'RE
COMMITTED TO. DISCUSSING AND-
WORK THROUGH THE THINGS OF THE
NEXT DAYS I THINK AS A GENERAL
MATTER. YOU HOW ORGANIZATIONS
THAT ARE ALREADY REGISTERED
UNDER THIS LAW AS DIFFERENT
ENTITIES THAT THE COMMERCIAL
COVENTRY AS A- COMMERCIAL
FRIENDLY MADE. AND CONDUCT THAT
THIS BILL SEEKS TO ADDRESS OF
COURSE THE INTERNET FUND
RAISING ON THE PLATFORM SO IF
YOU'RE AN EXISTING ORGANIZATION
ALREADY REGISTERED AT THE END
AND YOU ELECT TO. THE KIND. OF
CONDUCT FALLS UNDER THE BUILD
BUT NAKHTMIN ISSUE VYING.
SHOULD THERE BE SEPARATE
REGISTRATION. AND IN ORDER TO.
FACILITATE OVERSIGHT OVER
PLATFORM TYPE OF CONDUCT OR
SHOULD USE SIMPLY BE ALLOWED TO
ENGAGE IN THAT KIND OF CONDUCT.
AND MAINTAIN YOUR PREVIOUS
REGISTRATION OF A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT ENTITY. WHICH WAS
REQUIRED OF YOU IN THE FIRST
PLACE FOR DIFFERENT SET OF
CONDUCT. SO THAT'S ALL I HAVE
THANK VERY GOOD THANK YOU
SENATOR MONNING. THANK YOU.
MADAM CHAIR AND I THINK THE
AUTHOR ADDRESS THIS BUT I WOULD
JUST AMPLIFY THE NEXUS WITH
COVERT NINETEEN TO ME IS
CRYSTAL CLEAR. THIS WEEK
TOMORROW THE SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS A MONTH FOR PEOPLE
WHO'VE LOST THEIR JOBS THROUGH
NO CHOICE OF THEIR OWN EXPIRES
NO BACK UP COMING FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WE'RE GONNA
PEOPLE FACING. FICTION THE
INABILITY TO PAY RENT AND
ABILITY TO PAY THEIR- FEED
THEIR FAMILIES TO PUT GAS IN
THEIR CARS. WERE GOING FROM
CRISIS TO SUPER CRISIS AND- IN
THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN DISPLACED
ARE GONNA BE MORE DEPENDENT ON
CHARITABLE GIVING THERE'S GOING
TO BE AN INCREASE IN CHARITABLE
APPEALS. MANNING HOPEFULLY MOST
WILL BE LEGITIMATE SOME WILL BE
CON ARTISTS WHO ARE GONNA PLAY
UP ON PEOPLE'S SYMPATHY AND
CONCERN FOR OTHER DISPLACED IN
WITH. SUPPORT IN THIS TIME OF
CRISIS SO. I DON'T THINK IT'S A
STRETCH TO SEE THIS BILL IS
VERY CONSISTENT WITH OUR
PRIORITIZATION OF COVERT
NINETEEN AND I'D LIKE TO MOVE
THE BILL AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME THANK YOU THANK YOU. AND I
WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO MY
RESPONSE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
A LITTLE CLIP THIS IS VERY
DEFINITELY COVERED RELATED
DIRECTLY WERE A COUPLE BILLS.
THAT WE CONSIDERED TO HEAR
DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE OF
CHARITABLE GIVING AND THE
MINUTE. SADLY THAT WE'RE SEEING
WITH THE AUNT OF WELL MEANING
IN INTEREST WHO WOULD TO HELP
THOSE. NEED THIS BILL ACT. UP
AS FAR THAT. AND I KNOW THAT
THERE ARE TWO AMENDMENTS
SHOULD'VE TO. WITH ATTORNEY
OFFICE IS SORT OF THE OF IT
FIND WE HAVE AN ONLINE. EMPIRE
OF THE- IS THAT. THEY'RE VERY
PLATFORM OUT THERE THAT ARE-
WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OR
APPROVAL OF THE ACTUAL CHARITY
THAT IS BEING REPRESENTED
CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE IN FACT
RAISING MONEY FOR THEIR CHARITY
AND IF THAT IS THE CASE THEN
THEY SHOULD FALL WITH THE PER
OF THE- GENERAL WHO. CONTROL
CHAIRED GIVING SO WITH THE-
INTRODUCTION AND IN FACT MEANT
OF INTERNET TRANSACTIONS IN
THIS WAY THERE IS REALLY BEEN
INADEQUATE PROTECTIONS. FOR
THOSE WHO WANT TO GIVE ONLINE
FOR THOSE CHARITIES AND THAT'S
ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS BILL. IS
AND A DESIGNS TO REGULATE SO.
AGAIN THE CURRENT PROVISIONS
ARE REGULATE MORE CHARTER A
MORE TRADITIONAL SOLICITATIONS
AND IT HASN'T BEEN MODERNIZED-
PARTICULARLY AT THIS POINT TIME.
WHERE WE'RE SEEING- THE
GENEROSITY OF THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA IN THE PEOPLE'S

TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR GIFTS
TO THOSE IN NEED GOAL TO THOSE
PEOPLE IN NEED AND-
UNFORTUNATELY. WE HAVE WITH
THIS CRISIS AS WE SEE WITH
EVERY CRISIS THERE ARE THOSE
OUT THERE WANT TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE CROP FOR THE
PHONE. UP OFTEN. THREE SHELF
AND GREED DROVE DOES AND THIS
IS A MEASURE THAT TRIES TO PUT
A CHECK ON THAT AND FRANKLY
THAT'S THE REASON THAT I WAS-
WANTING AN ANXIOUS TO HEAR THIS
BILL BECAUSE I DO THINK IT WILL
MOVE US FORWARD I IN THAT
PROTECT. THE ARE ON GOAL.
DISCUSSIONS I KNOW THAT MANY
AMENDMENTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN AND
I THINK ARE THERE ARE STILL.
DISCUSSIONS GOING ON. BUT AT
THIS MOMENT IN TIME IN ALL
CANDOR WE ARE SEEING. A LOT OF
MONEY MOVING ON THE INTERNET
FOR CHARITABLE GIVING AND WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE IT GOES WHERE
IT'S SUPPOSED TO SO. I WANT TO

THREE YEAR TWENTY FORTY ALL
RIGHT WE'VE ALREADY BEEN
THROUGH THAT WILL BRING IT BACK
THEN TO THE DíAS AND SENATOR
MELINDA'S THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR- SO I HAVE A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS. LET'S ASSUME IT IS-
A MOTHER WHO HAS HE'S TAKING
CARE OF THE CHILDREN AND THEIR
SPOUSE OR EX SPOUSES
INCARCERATED. SO IF THE CHILD
SUPPORT PAYMENTS STOP. THEN OUT
WHAT IS THE MOTHER TO DO TO. ME
IN A SUPPLEMENT THE INCOME THAT
SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN RECEIVING
AS CHILD SUPPORT. THAT'S AN
EXCELLENT QUESTION SENATOR- ONE
THING THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER
WHEN A PARENT IS INCARCERATED
IS THAT THEY MAKE ABOUT EIGHT
CENTS AN HOUR. ON TOP OF THAT
THE STATE TAKE THE MANDATORY
55% OUT OF THE EIGHT CENTS PER
HOUR. SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO
WAY THAT A PARENT THAT IS
INCARCERATED CAN CONTINUE TO
MAKE THE CHILD SUPPORT
PAYMENTS. IN ADDITION TO THAT
THERE ARE FEES AND PENALTIES
THE ONE THAT PARENTS RELEASED
FROM PRISON. A HOT. THEY HAVE A
DEBT. THAT THEY ARE. OFTEN NOT
ABLE TO GET OUT OF I'M SORRY IN
THE INTEREST OF TIME AND I
APPRECIATE YOU TRYING TO
EXPLAIN BUT IF YOU COULD JUST.
YOU KNOW ANSWER THIS QUESTION
WHICH IS WHAT IS THE- THOSE
MOTHER WHO'S TAKING CARE TO
CHILDREN SUPPOSED HOW WOULD HOW
DOES SHE SUPPLEMENT. THAT LIKE
HIM I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRO.
VISIT DOESN'T HAVE THE SAME
SALARY COMING IN WELL YOU'RE
ASKING A QUESTION THAT. THE
ANSWER IS IN FRONT OF YOU
SENATOR. A MOTHER THAT DOESN'T
HAVE THE CHILD SUPPORT FROM
PARENTS THAT IF INCARCERATED IS
GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK FOR OTHER
RESOURCES. AND LUCKILY WE LIVE
IN A STATE THAT PROVIDES
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS. AS LONG AS
WE'RE NOT CUTTING THEM. AMID
CODED AND A MAN OF VERY LITTLE.
RECESSION SO WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO BE ABLE POINT. THAT
PROGRAM PROVIDE. FOOD
HEALTHCARE. FOR INDIVIDUALS
NEED ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE
AND I HOPE WE CAN COUNT YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THAT AND I AND IF I
MAY JUST JUMP IN WE ASKED YOU
YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT. IN THE
PLACE THE. HI RUNNING. WORST TO
PEOPLE CARS RATED YOU TO HAVE
TO PAY YEARS. AND OBVIOUSLY
AGENTS AN HOUR THERE GOING TO
BE A TO. WELL WHAT ABOUT THE-
PARENT. WHO THEN AND- EVEN RISK
YOU KNOW WE HAVE TO ALSO GIVE
CONSIDERATION TO THAT FACT WELL
AND THAT'S WHAT THE STUDY. WILL
LOOK AT WHAT SERVICES ARE
AVAILABLE- BECAUSE THE CHILDREN
ULTIMATELY WILL SUFFER- IF
THERE IS NO SUCH. COMING IN- AT
WHAT WERE YOU FREQUENTLY FIND
COOLEY IS IT'S USUALLY
CUSTODIAL OTHER. AND ENDS UP
TAKING A SECOND JOB NO TAKING A
THIRD JOB- SO THE BURDEN DAN.
RETURNS TO THAT COULD STILL BE
A PARENT WHICH OF COURSE WHEN
PARENTS ARE NOT IN THE HOME
ABLE TO DO THE NECESSARY THE
DISCIPLINE AND OVERSIGHT OF
CHILDREN. A CREATES A REAL
PROBLEM AND THEN OF COURSE IF
THERE'S NO FOOD ON THE TABLE
SO. THIS BILL AT AT MY REQUEST
FRANKLY. OF THE AUTHOR
GRACIOUSLY AGREED TO ACCEPT.
THAT AMENDMENT SO WE CAN START
LOOKING AT THAT WE HAD ANOTHER
BILL THAT WE PUT- A DID WAS
CONSENT ITEM- BY IT ASSEMBLY
MEMBER VOEPEL- THAT ALSO. LIMIT
ON A SUPPORT WHEN YOU HAVE A
NEW. VETERAN TO WHOSE ONLY
GETTING SSI AND OBVIOUSLY
DOESN'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF
RESOURCES. THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT WE CANNOT FORGET. THE
PARENT TO INTO POTENTIALLY
STUCK WITH THE BILL IF YOU
WILL- BUT CLEARLY- IN THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN YOU HAVE
PEOPLE IN PRISON I CANNOT PAY.
THEY THEY JUST DON'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES AN- ARM I THINK. OUT
WITH THIS STUDY WILL BE ABLE
TO. GET A BASS TO MAKE SURE
THAT THOSE ARE. PROPERLY CARED
FORCE THAT THERE NEEDS ARE NOT
UNDERMINE BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
PARENT TO IN MARCH. AND NOT
GETTING ANY. I THINK. ANSWERED
YES YEAH MA'AM IN A APPRECIATE
CLARIFICATION SO I AS A PANDERS
IT THEN WE BE IF THE MOTHER
DOESN'T HAVE A WAY TO STOP THE
IN. FOR SUPPORT SHE WOULD HAVE
BEEN GETTING SHE WOULD THEN
HAVE TO GO AND SOME SORT OF-
GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE WHICH I
BELIEVE IS WHAT YOU WERE.
RECOMMENDING OR SUGGESTING AND
THE CHAIR SAID THAT YOU HAD
AGREED TO PUT A STUDY IN PLACE-
THOUGH THE STUDY- CERTAINLY
DOESN'T HELP THE CUSTODIAL
PARENT DURING THE TIME WHEN SHE
STILL NEEDS TO FEED HER
CHILDREN INCLUDE HER CHILDREN
AND ALL THE THINGS THAT TAKE
PLACE SO I DON'T KNOW I THINK
THIS STUDY MIGHT COME A LITTLE.
CONSOLATION TO THE ACTUAL
BECAUSE OF TO BE YOU KNOW.
SORRY FOR BEING A ABOUT THIS.
THE I JUST HAVE ONE FINAL
QUESTION- IT SAYS THIS DOES NOT
APPLY WERE THE INCARCERATED
INDIVIDUAL HAS THE ABILITY. TO
CONTINUE MAKING CHILD SUPPORT
PAYMENTS AND THAT- DOES THAT
MIRROR FEDERAL LAW. OKAY AND
THEN IT ALSO SAYS- IT DOES NOT
APPLY. WHERE INCARCERATION IS
THE RESULT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AGAINST THEIR SUPPORTED PARTY
OR CHILD IS DOES THAT ALSO MERE
FEDERAL LAW OR IS THAT
SOMETHING. THAT'S JUST STATE
LAW. I'LL HAVE TO THE BY TO YOU
ON ONE I BELIEVE IN THEIR STATE
LAW BUT LET ME DOUBLE CHECK ON
A STEER YOU IN THE WRONG OKAY
AND IT'S JUST A MISTAKE
VIOLENCE SO NO WEATHER SO IN
OTHER WORDS IF THERE WERE ANY
SORT OF SEXUAL ABUSE. THAT'S
NOT FACTORED INTO THIS LIVE
USES FACTORED INTO IT. OKAY IT
IS FACTORS OR ANYTHING ELSE
FACTORED IN THAT. I DON'T HAVE
IN FRONT I DON'T I JUST HAVE A
DOMESTIC ABUSE IN FRONT OF ME
IS THERE I'M HAPPY TO GET YOUR
INFORMATION ON THE BILL. OKAY
SIR TO A CASKET FUND. CLEAR
THAT THIS DOESN'T APPLY TO
DOMESTIC PEOPLE SERVING PRISON
TIME FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE ARGUMENTS
FOR AUTOMATICALLY SUSPENDED
BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMIC
SITUATION WOULD APPLY TO THEM
DO YOU ENVISION THE STUDY THAT
YOU AGREE TO WITH THAT GIVE US
REPORT ON THE IMPACT THAT.
ALLOWING THE DEBT BURDEN TO
CONTINUE ON THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
BEEN CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND MONTHS SAID AND
THE NONCUSTODIAL PARENTS WHAT
THAT IMPACT MAY HAVE WANTS TO
RELEASE FOR PAYING CHILD
SUPPORT. FINDING A JOB DOING
ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS I DON'T
KNOW ITS ACT READ THE AMENDMENT
BUT IT DOESN'T SPECIFICALLY SAY
THAT IT'S ASKING FOR THOSE
IMPACTS BUT I DON'T KNOW IF
THAT WAS. DISCUSSED WITH YOU IN
THE CHAIR WELL THEY'RE ACTUALLY
HAS ALREADY BEEN RESEARCH ON
THAT. AND THE RICHARD RESEARCH
DOES SHOW- THAT MOST OF THE
CHILD SUPPORT THAT COMES FROM
PARENTS MAKING LESS THAN TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. AND
THAT- WHAT WE'VE DONE NOW IS
THERE ON TOP OF THE REAR RIDGE
IS A 10% INTEREST PENALTY. SO
OF THE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT
WHEN A PERSON COMES OUT OF
PRISON. GET BACK ON THEIR FEET
THEY ARE THEY PERCEIVE THAT
THEY ARE IN SUCH ENORMOUS DEBT.
THAT FREQUENTLY THEY WON'T THAT
DAY. DISASSOCIATE FROM ANY KIND
OF RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR
CHILDREN THAT'S FINANCIALLY
BASED THE ROOM BARROW STORE
THERE ARE DATE THEY FEEL
INADEQUATE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
PROVIDE THOSE RESOURCES AND
THAT- THEY DON'T REUNITE WITH
THEIR FAMILY SO WOULD IT
APPARENTLY INCREASES
RECIDIVISM. ME TO IT'S A LOSE
LOSE SITUATION I MEAN I SEE
THAT WERE YOU KNOW WE'RE
EXCLUDING THE ROBBERS MORE
EXCLUDING THE TRUCK DRIVERS AT
TO TIME BUT WE'RE NOT EXCLUDING
THE PEOPLE OVER. SAID THERE CAN
BEEN CONVICTED OF A DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND I'M JUST THINKING
THAT. DAY THE POLICY GOALS FOR
THE GOALS WE STAYED OF FREE
REUNIFICATION AND MAKING SURE
THAT ONCE THEY'RE OUT. THEIR
BEHAVIORS IMPROVE THAT THEY PAY
WHATEVER THE AMOUNT WAS JUST
WONDERFUL SHOULD BE STARTING
THAT ALSO. OKAY THEIR DATE THE
BE CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND BE IN POVERTY BE
POOR UPPER PER PERSON AND FALL
INTO ALL THE OTHER CATEGORIES
EXCEPT FOR THE CRIME THAT THEY
WERE. INCARCERATED FOR AND JUST
SEEMS. I DON'T KNOW. SEEMS LIKE
SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE TO STUDY
TO SEE. MAYBE IS THAT IS THAT
HELPFUL OR HARMFUL. MAY I
RESPOND IF YOU'D LIKE TO
PROCEED THE RESPONSE CERTAINLY
SO LET'S LET'S BE CLEAR ON THE
INTENT OF THE BILL THE INTENT
OF THE BILL IS TO BRING
CALIFORNIA UP TO A FEDERAL
STANDARD IT IS TO ENSURE THAT
PEOPLE THAT ARE IN CARS. AND
ADDITIONALLY. SUPPORT PAYMENTS
THE DAY CURRENTLY CA MEET
BECAUSE THEY ARE IN CARS AND
MAKING EIGHT CENTS AN HOUR I AM
MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK WITH
ALL OF YOU ON YOUR CELL SENATOR
AND ANYONE IN THIS ROOM TO TRY
TO DO ADDITIONAL STUDIES ON HOW
TO HELP PEOPLE. GET BACK ON
THEIR FEET DECREASE RECIDIVISM
RATES. AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY
GO BACK TO THEIR FAMILIES. PART
OF THE CONVERSATION AND IF
WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS I WANT
TO. BUY YOUR REQUEST MADAM
CHAIR KEEP THE SHORT BUT WE
COULD GET INTO IT. WHAT I HAVE
HEARD IN BOTH HOUSES FROM BOTH
PARTIES. IS AN AGREED IS
IMPLICIT BIAS. PARENTS ARE
INCARCERATED THE REALITY IS THE
MAJORITY OF PARENTS WANT TO
REUNITE WITH THEIR FAMILIES
THEY WANT TO BE A PART OF THEIR
CHILD'S LIFE. BUT THE BURDENS
THAT THEY ENCOUNTER ALONG THE
WAY ARE SO HIGH. THEY'RE COMING
OUT OF PRISON DURING PULLED IT.
NO JOBS LACK OF HOUSING AN
INCREDIBLY REDUCED
OPPORTUNITIES IT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
EVERY MEMBER OF SOCIETY. WHO
HAVE CLEARLY PAID THEIR DEBT TO
SOCIETY AND WANTS TO RENO TO
REUNIFY WITH THEIR FAMILIES AND
WHAT THEIR KIDS CAN DO SO FOR
LET'S TAKE CARE OF THAT RIGHT
NOW IN ITS URGENCY. AND NEXT
YEAR I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO
ANY STUDY THAT YOU WISH TO
ENSURE THAT WE ARE MOVING AN
AGENDA THAT HELPS FAMILIES AT
THE END OF THE DAY MADAM CHAIR
I JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT WE
WERE SAYING EXACT THAT'S TRUE
FOR EVERY THING EXCEPT FOR THE
PERSON WHO SERVING TIME FOR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND ABUSE AS
I UNDERSTAND THE BILL. I THINK
THE PROBLEM IS WE DON'T WANT TO
CREATE ANY POTENTIAL IN SAN.
SOMEONE COMMITTED A STICK FILA
AND GETS THE OPPORTUNITY IS A
RESULT OF THAT TO AVOID THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PAYING CHILD
SUPPORT. THAT THAT'S A PROBLEM
RIGHT RIGHT AND THAT'S WHY I'M
I'M NOT. I'M JUST RAISING THE
ISSUE BECAUSE I THINK THAT THIS
IS. THIS IS A- AND JERRY THE
LAW THAT WE TEND TO WE DON'T.
ISN'T PICKY. A SITUATION WHERE
PEOPLE ARE ABUSING THEIR LOVED
ONES AND WE THINK YOU GET
THROWN IN JAIL AND- PART OF THE
GOAL HERE IS THAT REUNIFICATION
AND BRINGING PEOPLE BACK IN.
AND I'M JUST SAYING THERE'S- I
WOULD SAY TO CARPOOL BUT THIS
IS FROM A GROUP OF PEOPLE A LOT
OF PEOPLE IN JAIL THAT ARE POOR
THAT GOT ALL THE OTHER. ALL THE
SIGNALS HERE THAT ARE
PRODIGIOUS RAISING. HIS INITIAL
MEAN I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL TODAY BUT IT'S NOT ALL THE
BOAT TO FLOAT. AT IS I IS I SEE
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE IT'S A
COMPLICATED THERE'S A THOUSAND
DIFFERENT. SCENARIOS WHERE
PEOPLE GET CONVICTED AND- THE-
WELL I'M GLAD TO RAISE THE
ISSUE MORE. I THINK A THIS IS
AN AREA WHERE I HAPPEN TO HAVE
SOME EXPERIENCE PRESS WHEN I
WAS A PRACTITIONER. AND NO ONE
EVER ASKED WHAT ABOUT THE
CUSTODIAL PARENT WHO'S LEFT
HAVING TO GET TWO AND THREE
JOBS TO MAKE ENDS MEET. I WAS
JUST EXPECTED AND MOST OF THEM
ARE WOMEN AND- YOU KNOW BEING
IN THE LOWER PAID JOB
CATEGORIES ANYWAY JUST ANOTHER
ELEMENT OF THAT SUM COMING DOWN
ON THE SCALE OF FAIRNESS AND
JUSTICE SO. HAVING THIS I THINK
IS THE FIRST TIME ACTUALLY WE
WILL OF DONE THAT STUDY FROM
THIS SIDE OF THE AVENUE AVENUE
AND I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE
THAT. ASSEMBLY MEMBER CARILLO
BEING. VERY STRONG ADVOCATE ON
BEHALF OF THE QUALITY IN
PARTICULAR GENDER EQUALITY AS
WELL WILK- IF NECESSARY FOLLOW
UP AFTER THE INFORMATION IS.
RECEIVED AND- TRY TO MAKE
WHATEVER ADJUSTMENTS ARE
NECESSARY UNDER AN ABSOLUTELY
IT IS A TOTAL LOSE LOSE
SITUATION. NO MENTION THIS SHOW.
WITH THAT WE HAVE I BELIEVE A
MOTION BY SENATOR MONNING THE
MOTION IS. ADD TO PASS AS
AMENDED TO THE SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE WITH
THAT MADAM CONSULTANT WOULD YOU
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL AND
THERE'S PLEASE TURN OUR
MICROPHONE'S ON THIS IS FILE
ITEM EIGHT AB TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FIVE BERRYHILL THE
MOTION IS TO PASS AS AMENDED TO
THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS CAN
AND PERHAPS MY APOLOGIES I
SHOULD LET THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
CLOSE WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I
WOULD THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR- I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE- VAST.
JUST GOT. AND PART OF A LOT OF
WHAT I HAVE HEARD I WILL REPEAT
AGAIN IS JUST IMPLICIT BIAS
THAT THERE ARE MEMBERS OF OUR
SOCIETY THAT. ARE USING OUR
PRISON SYSTEM TO AVOID. PAYING
THEIR CHILD SUPPORT WHICH TO ME
IS LUDICROUS. YOU CAN HAVE A
SITUATION IN WHICH- PARENTS ARE
HOPING TO FEED THEIR KIDS. ARE
COMMIT A CRIME OF ROBBING FOOD
AND THEN GOES TO PRISON. YOU
CAN LOOK AT THAT AND SAY. WAS
THAT INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO HELP
THEIR CHILD WHILE THEY'RE
PAYING CHILD SUPPORT WHAT KIND
OF SYSTEM DO WE HAVE WHICH
ALLOWS AN INDIVIDUAL TO
CONTINUE TO WOULD GET PENALTIES
AND FEES WHILE MAKING EIGHT
CENTS AN HOUR. AND THEN GETS UP
ON AND THEN GET THEIR LICENSE
REVOKED BECAUSE THEY HAVE
OUTSTANDING CHILD SUPPORT DEBT.
CAN'T GET TO A JOB. DOESN'T
HAVE TRANSPORTATION. CAN BARELY
AFFORD TO MAKE ENDS MEET AND
THEN THEY CONTINUE TO HOW
ISSUES WITH THEIR CHILD SUPPORT
AND THEN GO BACK INTO PRISON WE
HAVE HAD A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS
IN BOTH HOUSES- ON BREAK DOWN
THE TUITION ALLIES RATE THEM
FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR THIS. IF
IDEA THAT YOU CAN PAY CHILD
SUPPORT WILL MAKING EIGHT CENTS
AN HOUR IS RIDICULOUS. AND
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT
WE NEED TO ADDRESS BUT I JUST
HOPE THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY TRUE
TO OUR WORD AND IF WE ARE TO
SAY THAT WE ARE ABOUT HELPING
PEOPLE IN OURS. THAT WE BEGIN
TO LOOK AT LAWS SECOND
TENUOUSLY HARM PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND IF WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT
MEN. ACTUALLY HAVE A HARM. MEN
OF COLOR MOSTLY FULL ARE LET ME
IN BLACK. IN OUR STATE. I HOPE
THAT WHILE WE DELIBERATE ON
WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE
ACTUAL PEOPLE WHO ARE HURTING.
AND WHO NEED THIS LEGISLATURE
TO ACT AND TO ACT NOW I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST ZERO.

ANOTHER. THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE
LIMITED TO THE DECEDENT'S
SPOUSECHILD AND IN SOME CASES
THE PARENTS. SPECIFICALLY FOR
MINOR PASSES AWAY DUE TO THE
WRONGFUL CONDUCT OF OTHERS AND
THE MINOR IS ON MARRIED AND
DOES NOT HAVE CHILDREN. THAN
THOSE WHO CAN BRING FORTH A- BY.
THE MY LEGAL GUARDIANS HAVE NOT
OFFICIALLY ADOPTED THE MINOR
THESE LEGAL GUARDIANS DO NOT
HAVE LEGAL STANDING TO BRING A
CLAIM IN THE EVENT OF A
WRONGFUL DEATH EVEN THOUGH BOTH
OF THE CHILD'S PARENTS DECEASED.
AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY FIVE
CORRECT THIS OVERSIGHT LAW BY
ALLOWING LEGAL GUARDIANS TO
BRING FORTH A WRONGFUL DEATH
CASE BUT ONLY WHEN THE DECEASED
CHILD'S PARENTS. HAVE ALSO
PASSED AWAY. AB TWENTY FOUR
FORTY FIVE ALLOWS A LEGAL
GUARDIAN TO SEEK JUSTICE FOR
CHILD WAS PASSED AWAY DUE TO
THE WRONGFUL CONDUCT OF OTHERS
WHEN THE CHILD'S PARENT CANNOT
DO SO. BECAUSE THEY ARE
DECEASED THIS BILL IS AN IS AN
URGENCY MEASURE IN ORDER TO
PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF DESERVING
LEGAL GUARDIANS TO PROSECUTE
WRONGFUL. ACTIONS ON BEHALF OF
THEIR MINOR CHILDREN. TIME IS
OF THE ESSENCE TO ENSURE THAT
WRITERS CLAIMS ARE NOT TURNED
AWAY DUE TO ANTIQUATED LEGAL
BARRIERS. HERE TO TESTIFY VIA
TELEPHONE TODAY I HAVE BILL.
GALLO WANTED WAS AN ATTORNEY
WITH THE LAW FIRM OF TAYLOR AND
RING. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY. THE
LET US SOME HERE FROM MR GILL
WHAT I BELIEVE HE IS ON THE
PHONE AND READY TO SPEAK IS
THAT CORRECT. A THANK YOU
MISTER GILL WHAT THE FLOOR IS
YOURS IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
THAT HE IS THE ONLY WITNESS AND
IF THAT'S THE CASE HE DOES HAVE
UP TO THREE MINUTES IF HE
WISHES TO TAKE IT THANK YOU.
MISTER GILL WHAT THE FLOORS YOU.
THANK YOU CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME
OKAY. YES. OKAY MEMBERS OF THE
SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO ALL OF
YOU ABOUT THIS BILL BY WAY OF
INTRODUCTION MY NAME IS NEIL
KELLER WHY I AM A MEMBER OF THE
CONSUMER ATTORNEYS FOR IN
SUPPORT OF AB. TWO FOUR FOUR
FIVE. BEACH WILL. I PRACTICE IN
THE AREA OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY WRONGFUL DEATH AND
SEXUAL ABUSE ABOVE ALL AB TWO
FOUR FOUR FIVE IS ABOUT
FAIRNESS THE BILL AIMS TO
CORRECT INEQUITIES IN THE LAW
UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE A
MINOR DIES TO THE WRONGFUL
CONDUCT OF OTHERS UNDER SUCH
CIRCUMSTANCES THE RIGHT CARE IS
IN THE WRONG ACTION. THERE WAS.
NINE CHILDREN ARE THE MINOR'S
PARENT HOWEVER IF THE MINERS
PARENTS PREDECEASED HIM OR HER
THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW FOR THE
MINERS LEGAL GUARDIANS TO WRITE
FULLY STEP INTO THE SHOES OF
THE MINERS PARENTS CAN PURSUE
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS ON HIS OR
HER BEHALF. AS WE THE LOS WE
ALREADY IN SHIP IS NOT ENOUGH
THE LAW REQUIRES THE MINERS
LEGAL GUARDIAN TO HAVE FORMALLY
ADOPTED THE MINOR IN ORDER TO
BE ABLE TO BRING A LAWSUIT ON
THE MINOR'S BEHALF. OWNER IT IN
CANADA. DID SHOULD ELIMINATED
AS THE LAW SHOULD RECOGNIZE THE
CHANGING NATURE OF FAMILY. THIS
BILL WOULD STILL REQUIRE THESE
LEGAL GUARDIANS TO BE FORMALLY
APPOINTED AS SUCH BY THE COURT
PRIOR TO THE MINOR STAFF. THIS
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT WOULD
STILL REQUIRE A JUDICIAL
OFFICER TO EVALUATE THE
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERLYING THE
APPOINTMENT THANK INCLUDED THE
PARTY'S BRINGING THE
APPLICATION SHOULD IN FACT BE
OF THE MINERS LEGAL PARTY. IT
SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THIS
BILL WILL NOT EXPAND THE
UNIVERSE OF PLANETS THAT MARK
MAY PURSUE A WRONGFUL DEATH
ACTION ON BEHALF OF THE MINE.
RATHER IT NEARLY ALLOW
GUARDIANS TO STEP INTO THE
SHOES OF THE MINERS PARENTS
WHEN BOTH PARENTS HAVE PASSED
AWAY. IN SOME AB TWO FOUR FOUR
FIVE NARROWLY AND THEN TO
EXISTING LAW TO ALLOW FOR THE
FULL PROSECUTION OF WRONGFUL
DEATH ACTION. STEPPING INTO THE
SHOES OF THE PARENT IS NO EASY
TASK WHEN INDIVIDUALS TAKE ON
THIS NOBLE VENTURE THEY SHOULD
BE AFFORDED THE SAME RIGHTS
AFFORDED TO THE MINORS. THANK

BYE MEMBER LAURIE FOR BREATH
THE BILL WE HEARD THAT
PREVIOUSLY WITH RESPECT TO ALL
COUNTIES THAT HAD SEVEN
HUNDRED. THOUSAND OR MORE
RESIDENTS AND I THINK BASICALLY
THOSE ARE SAN FRANCISCO. SAN
JOSE AND LOS ANGELES- AT THIS
POINT THERE IS NO OPPOSITION
AND THE BILL ONLY FOCUSES ON
SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND CERTAINLY.
YOU KNOW THERE IS AN ARGUMENT
OF FAIRNESS ARGUMENT THAT IF
YOU BRING THE ACTION YOU SHOULD
BE ABLE TO REAP THE BENEFITS-
THERE WAS SOME DISAGREEMENT
ABOUT THAT THAT CAME. FROM SOME
OF THE OTHER JURISDICTIONS BUT
CLEARLY SAN DIEGO. RESOLVED ITS
STIFF AND- WITH THAT I
CERTAINLY THINK IT'S
APPROPRIATE THAT UP. TO THE
CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO CONTINUE TO
MAXIMIZE THEIR EFFORTS AND
THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS-BILL OR THAT'S WHAT IT APPEARS
AS BILL'S GOING TO DO IN ORDER.
TO WHAT SUGGESTS CAN. IN THE
PEOPLE THE COUNTY AND I COULD
COMMEND YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
AND- CERTAINLY LOOK FOR TO SPUR
IT ARE THERE ANY OTHER
COMMENTS. WITH THE BILL. WE
HAVE A MOTION BY SENATOR UMBERG
TO MOVE THE BILL WE HAVE A
COMMENT BY MISTER BORCHERS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. US BRAND
THE OF HONOR HEADING INTO YOUR
NAKED WOODS CHATTING WITH THE
YOUR MAYOR ON CODE RE OPENING
UP POLICIES AND JUST ACTUALLY
LOVE YOUR BACKYARD- WHEN THIS.
BILL CAME MINUTES EARLIER
VERSION I HAD EXPRESSED
CONCERNS THAT IT WOULD HIT
COUNTIES AGAIN CITIES AND VICE
VERSA AND I STILL HAVE THAT ARE
CONCERNED AS I EXPRESSED
EARLIER. AND THIS IS. FOCUS
ONLY ON SAN DIEGO WHICH I DON'T
KNOW WHY THERE CAN'T BE A
COUNTY CITY REVENUE SHARING
AGREEMENT I THINK EVERY YEAR
EVERY COUNTY AND CITY GO
THROUGH SOME SORT OF REVENUE
SHARING DISCUSSION OR EVERY
NUMBER OF YEARS- I'M SURPRISED
JUST BY VIRTUE OF LOCAL CONTROL
IF THEY CAN'T. REACH SOME SORT
OF ACCOMMODATION IN YOUR
EXPERIENCE ARE THESE PARTIES
JUST AT AN IMPASSE. WELL NOT
CITY WILL HAVE CONSENSUS
BETWEEN BUT THE CITY IN THE
COUNTY ON THIS BILL AND SUPPORT
FOR- THAT CONSIDER CROSS
AMERICAN SINCE THIS NOT EVIDENT
IN THESE OTHER. CITIES THAT THE
CHAIR REFERENCE AS A
CONSEQUENCE THE BILL HAS BEEN
NARROWED TO EXCLUDE THEM. ALL
RIGHT- I'M I'M CONCERNED THAT
IF THIS HAPPENS IN SAN DIEGO-
WE'RE GOING TO BE FINE THAT-
THE CITY OF FRESNO FOR EXAMPLE
IS GOING TO WANT TO HAVE-
SOMETHING DIFFERENT- FRESNO
COUNTY OR JUST ACROSS THE
STATE- BUT- MOST IMPORTANTLY-
HOW. AGAIN IS THIS SATISFACTORY
OF CONDITIONS OF HAVING. A BILL
HEARD THAT WAS MY LOOK MY
ULTIMATE LAST POINT HERE IT'S
NOT CODE RELATED IT'S NOT TIME
SENSITIVE- OR- WHAT WHAT IS THE
ULTIMATE BECAUSE IT THIS SOUNDS
LIKE. THIS S THE JANUARY BILL.
LET ME AS FRAZIER CONCERNED IN
PARTICULAR FOR THE RECORD
BECAUSE UP FRESNO CANNOT BRING
THESE KINDS OF ACTIONS UNDER
STATE LAW CURRENTLY IS TOO
SMALL. SO IT'S ONLY CITIES OF
SEVENTY THOUSAND OR MORE SO IF
THAT KEEP ME UP NIGHTS YOU
COULD SLEEP SOUNDLY TONIGHT
OKAY HA HA HA CONSISTING TO
COVET YOU AND I BOTH KNOW THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE BEING
SQUEEZED IN THIS PANDEMIC AND
THEIR REVENUES ARE PLAN. MAKING
AND HAVING TO CHOOSE VERY VOCAL.
FORTIES ABOUT WHAT TO PERSON
WHAT NOT TO PURSUE TO THE
EXTENT THAT OUR CITY ATTORNEY
HE HEARD FROM A MOMENT AGO IS
ACTIVELY HAND COLLUDED CONSUMER
PROTECTION CASES BUT HAS TO
JUDGE ON THE FACT THAT IF SHE
SPENDS A HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN DOING IT. SHE'LL FOR
THE REVENUE BACK SO. FOR SHADI
TESTING. THROUGH DOING I DID
DRIVE OF OPERATIONS CHARGING
CUTS NOT DOING CALL TEST. ARTS
TWENTY WANTS TO PASS THAT THE
RIGHT NOW SHE ONLY GETS HOW OF
THE- THAT COMES TO THE PROJECT.
THE COMES AFTERWARDS AND IF THE
COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO THE SAME
THING SHE GETS. NOTHING SO I
HUMBLY SUGGEST THAT THIS TIME
WITH CONSUMERS ARE BEING
SQUEEZED BY UNSCRUPULOUS ACTORS.
ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO HAVE OUR
PUBLIC WATCHDOGS AFTER DOING
THE WORK AND THIS WILL MAKE IT
MORE LIKELY AND BECAUSE THE
REVENUES UPON MANY ACTION MAKES
IT LESS LIKELY WITHOUT THIS
LEGISLATION. I WILL CERTAINLY
APPLAUD THAT EFFORT TO DRAW A
NEXUS OUGHT TO COVERED AS
UNIQUE AND CREATIVE AS IT WAS.
AND WHAT IF. BIGGIE GETS BACK
THE- THE OVERALL ON THE OVERALL
IMPORT OF THIS IS WHETHER IT'S
LIMITED TO COUNTIES OVER SEVEN
HUNDRED THOUSAND OR CITIES
RATHER- THE IDEA OF CREATING A
CONTEST BETWEEN MUNICIPALITIES
AND COUNTIES EVER SIZE THEY MAY
BE. HAVING SERVED AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL IN BOTH LEVELS THAT'S WHY
THAT'S BIGGEST SIR IS THAT WE
ARE JOB CREATING AN ATMOSPHERE
OF REVENUE CONTROL AND- BEING
VERY DOGGEDLY IN TERMS OF- WHO
HAS TURF HERE VERSUS TURF THEIR
THING. IT'S IT IS SAN DIEGO.

VERY GOOD LET'S BRING IT BACK
TO DISCUSSION BY THE MEMBERS
WERE GOING TO START WITH THE
SENATE BOAR SENATOR. WHY CAN'T
SKI THE MORNING IN I BELIEVE
URBAN SO WHAT'S GOING AND THE
FOR SURE SENATOR. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR. MANY OF YOU THAT I
HAVE STRONG. IN BY IN GREEK
ARMENIAN. RELY ISSUES AND FOR A
LONG LONG TIME I HAVE ADVOCATED
FOR PREPARATION DISCUSSIONS
GIVEN THE LOSS OF PROPERTY THE
LOSS OF LIFE THE LOSS OF. OF
VALUABLE SECOND IN TERRITORY
WHEN THERE WERE THE- WHEN THERE
WAS THE FORCIBLE EXCHANGE
BETWEEN TURKEY AND GREECE IN
THE TWENTIES PRIOR TO THAT THE
PONTIC GENOCIDE GREEK GENOCIDE
IN THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE. SO
THIS ISSUE PRESENTS SOME VERY
NOVEL AND- COMPONENTS. THAT IF
I AM TO BE CONSISTENT. IN THE
BELIEF THAT. HISTORY DOES NOT
HAVE A STATUE OF LIMITATIONS
WHEN IT COMES TO WRITING A
WRONG. THEN I HAVE TO.
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOMETHING THAT
IS AS FOR DATING. AS SLAVERY
THAT IS AS PROBABLY THE MOST.
PROFOUND INSIGNIFICANT. CASTOR
FEE TO THE FALL OF PEOPLE. AS
THE INSTITUTION OF SLAVERY AS
IT SPEND CONTINENTS IT SPANNED
CIVILIZATIONS BUT IT CONTINUED
INTO MODERN PERIODS OF TIME.
DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT THAN OUR
NOTIONS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.
THE REASON WHY I'M BRINGING
THIS UP IS AS AN ADVOCATE FOR
THE GREEKS ARMENIANS AND OTHERS
AS THEY TRIED IS TO SEEK
REDRESS FROM THE HISTORICAL
INJUSTICES THAT BEFELL THEM.
THEN SO TOO SHOULD AFRICAN
AMERICANS BE IN A POSITION TO
SEEK REDRESS. UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES WE FIND OURSELVES
IN AS AMERICANS. IT'S ONLY FAIR.
HERE'S MY REQUEST TO. THE
AUTHOR PERHAPS A BIT WILL BE
THROUGH. THE CENTER BRADFORD- I
THINK IT'S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE
FOR A BODY TO BE CONVENED TO
STUDY THIS ISSUE. I'D SURPRISE
THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE- BY OTHER
STATES MAYBE IT HAS BEEN I
DON'T I DON'T NOW. BUT HERE'S
WHAT I WOULD WANT TO SEE
DIFFERENT ABOUT THE PROPOSED
CONSTITUTION OF THIS GROUP. IS
RIGHT NOW THE APPOINTMENTS
WOULD BE FROM THE GOVERNOR AND
THE LEADERS OF THE ASSEMBLY AND
THE SENATE. WHAT I DON'T SEE I
THINK IT'S ESSENTIAL JUST AS
WE'VE- LOOK AT SOUTH AFRICA
CAMBODIA ARMENIA AND ELSEWHERE
AROUND THE WORLD WE'VE HAD
THESE CATASTROPHES IS THAT WHEN
A GROUP IS CONVENE. THESE
INDIVIDUALS BE PROPERLY
SCHOOLED AND- ARE DISCIPLINED
ON MATTERS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO
THE BODY ITSELF. SO HERE'S MY
RECOMMENDATION WOULD THE AUTHOR
CONSIDER. THAT THE EIGHT
APPOINTMENTS. BE EXPANDED I
DON'T KNOW TO WHAT AMOUNT. BUT
THAT IT INCLUDE COMPARED OF LAW
EXPERTS. INNING THE REASON I
BRING THAT UP IS BECAUSE- THE
REPORT ON THE CREATION OF THIS.
COMMISSION TALKS ABOUT. THIS
UNITED NATIONS ORGANS IN
DIFFERENT TREES AND OTHER
OBLIGATIONS TO UNDERSTAND HOW
OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE DONE THIS.
SO COMPARED OF LAW EXPERT.
SOMEONE EXPERIENCED IN FOR
EXAMPLE AS A HOLOCAUST SCHOLAR.
OR SOUTH AFRICAN APARTHEID
SCHOLAR THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE
A BACKGROUND IN DEALING WITH
REPARATIONS BUT THIS IS NOT.
JUST A- NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS
APPOINTED BY THE PRO TEM THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IN THE GOVERNOR
AND LASTLY IT WOULD BE THAT
THERE BE A POLITICAL CROSS
SECTION REPRESENTED HERE.
BECAUSE IF IT'S JUST THOSE
THREE ENTITIES MAKING THE
APPOINTMENT. I THINK IT WOULD
BENEFIT. THE COMMISSION OR THIS
COUNCIL. THAT BODY IN BENEFIT
ALL OF US IF WE HAD SOME
REPRESENTATION THAT REPRESENTED.
THE CROSS SECTION OF OUR
POLITICAL SYSTEM. I THINK DOES
A REASONABLE REQUEST I DON'T
KNOW IF I'D LIKE TO LEAVE IT
OPEN TO. BOB THE PRESENTER I
THINK THIS HAS A LOT OF MERIT.
I'M SCARED. THAT IF THE
COMPOSITION IS NOT. ALL TO
MODIFY. DATA WON'T BE IS AS IT
NEED TO BE AND I'M ALSO AFRAID
THAT WILL UNNECESSARILY IGNITE
PARTISAN PASSIONS. THAT I THINK
ARE INAPPROPRIATE. SOME SOME
MANAGER DO YOU MIND IF I
THROUGH YOU. HOSE THAT REQUEST
TO THE PRESENTER. I SIR THE
PRESENTER CAN COMMENT ON IT IN
HIS CLOTHES A BOAT YOU KNOW WE
DON'T NEGOTIATE THE TERMS OF
THE BILL IN ADVANCE BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT THE PROVISIONS IN
THE BILL CALL FOR EIGHT PEOPLE
ARE AND THAT THEY CANNOT ALL BE
OF THE SAME PARTY SO BAD THAT
HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BUT ALL ALL
THAT THE PRESENTER COMMENT ON
THAT. AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMENTS SO THE CENTER BOARD OF
MOVING ALONG I CAN'T REMEMBER
THE ORDER I INITIALLY PRESENTED
BUT IF YOU'LL INDULGE ME WILL
GO TO SENATOR WHITE HOUSE SKI
IN AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
PRISONERS COMMENTS COMMENT ON
HIS AT HIS CLOSE I'VE ASKED HIM
TO DO THAT. A SIMPLE WHITE. THE
MAN I TO WITH THE A SHOUT OUT
FOR ALICE MERRILEES WHO WROTE
STAFF. THIS IS. MY TENTH YEAR
IN LESS. BEEN AND THE ASSEMBLY
SENATE SHOULD. COMMITTEES ALL
TIME AND WE DO EVERY DOES A
WONDERFUL JOB THIS IS. THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT. WAS WELL
WRITTEN BUT IT ALSO. TEES UP
THIS. TASK FORCE BECAUSE YOU
KNOW WE CAN GO BACK A HUNDRED
FIFTY FIVE YEARS AND ASK WHY
WAS THIS NOT DONE WHEN THE
CIVIL WAR WAS OVER AND THEN
YOU'RE INTO. YOU KNOW THE. JIM
CROW LAWS IN THE N. IT IN THE
TURN OF THIS. NEARLY TWO BUT-
BUT THE STAFF REPORT.
HIGHLIGHTS HOW THE NEW TO WAS
REAL A WHITE DEAL AND AT A-
EXCLUDED TO. WORKER IN
AGRICULTURAL WORKERS WHICH
SEEING IT AS I READ IT
YESTERDAY JUMPED OFF THE PAGES
WITH ME AND THEN I MOVED INTO.
THE GI WHICH EXCLUDED AND THE
RED LINE THAT WE ALL KNOW ABOUT
AND I WAS EXCLUDED THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THEN YOU
GET INTO THE- CRIMINAL ORDERED
FEDERAL CRIMINALIZATION OF LAW
ON THE MASS. INCARCERATION AND
YOU'VE- IF WE DON'T TO THIS.
TASK FORCE AND SET UP TO
REPARATION WHAT DOES IT STOP
ONE TWO WHEN. ONE DISC
CALIFORNIA'S INTERAMERICAN
SOCIETY. LOOK AT THESE OR THAT
WE HAVE IN OUR- I. THE ALL AN
AS PERCENT TODAY BRING IT I'M
YOU KNOW I FILLED WITH GUILT AS
THEY SHOULD BE THEN ALL THE
BUSH BE ABOUT. THAT THE LACK OF
A TWO THAT HAD TO THIS CANCER
THAT WE HAVE IN OUR AND THAT
SHOULD BE ADDRESSED SO I
APPRECIATE THE INDULGENCE OF
THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU SIR

IS AN EMAIL ATTACHMENT FROM THE
FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT BUT
IT'S- IT. SO MANY WHO INCLUDING
MYSELF WERE TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
THAT CALIFORNIA'S ESTABLISHED.
NOT AS A SLAVE STATE AND THAT
WAS ONE OF THE FIGHTS THAT TOOK
PLACE IN MONTEREY IN WHETHER OR
NOT THE CONSTITUTION. OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
RECOGNIZE THE INSTITUTION OF
SLAVERY OR NOT AND WHILE. IT
DIDN'T FORMALLY YOU LOOK AT THE
LEGACY IN VESTIGES OF ON SO
MANY FRONTS. RECOGNIZING
OWNERSHIP OF OTHER PEOPLE BY
PEOPLE COMING IN TO THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA THE DENIAL OF
PROPERTY RIGHTS THE RED LINING
IN THE LIST GOES ON AND ON TO
PUT THIS IN OUR- CHALLENGE
TODAY. THE DEPTH OF THE
CHALLENGE MAY BE ONLY OFFSET.
BY THEM MOVEMENT UNDER WAY IN
THIS COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. MOM THE-
LOSS OF JOHN LEWIS IN YET. IN
DEATH HIS LIFE IS BEING BETTER
UNDERSTOOD AND SHARED AROUND
THE COUNTRY. AND SO MANY OTHERS
YOUNG PEOPLE STEPPING UP. IN
RESISTANCE TO PLEASE PRACTICES
BUT GOING BEYOND PLEASE
PRACTICES I FULLY SUPPORT THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THIS
COMMISSION I WOULD HOPE THAT
PART OF THE ITS STUDY WOULD
LOOK TO THE TRUTH AND
RECONCILIATION COMMISSIONS
ESTABLISHED BY NELSON MANDELA.
FROM IN ARCHBISHOP DESMOND TUTU
IN SOUTH AFRICA A DIFFERENT
COUNTRY AT DIFFERENT HISTORY
BUT DEEP WOUNDS COMING OUT OF
DECADES OF WAR- IN APARTHEID IN
CONVENING. FORUM WHERE PEOPLE
FACE EACH OTHER AND SHARED
THEIR LOSS THEIR GRIEF THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY AND WAS A
HEALING PROCESS THAT STILL
UNDER WAY BUT IT WAS RECOGNIZED
BY THE LEADERS. OF THE SOUTH
AFRICAN REVOLUTION THAT IT WAS
ESSENTIAL FOR THE COUNTRY TO BE
ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD. THIS
NEVER HAPPENED IN THIS COUNTRY
AND I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS
WOULD MARK A STARTING POINT-
GLAD TO SUPPORT THE BILL I'D-
BE PROUD TO. MOVE THE BILL AT
THE APPROPRIATE TIME MADAM
CHAIR THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR TO RUSSELL FOLLOWED BY
SENATOR GONZALEZ AND I SEE

LOSSES THAT WERE INFLICTED ON
ON GENERATIONS AND GENERATIONS
OF BLACK AMERICANS. BUT THERE'S
ALSO THE TRAUMA AND THEIR ARE A
LOT OF THINGS. WHEN ASKED WHEN
DOES IT STOP. IT STOPS WILL WE
TO THE BOND OF IT ALL STOP SO
WE REALLY FIGURE THE- OF THE
DAMAGE TO- IN GENERATIONS OF A
BLACK AMERICANS- AND I HOLD
THROUGH THIS JUST AS- THE-
ANALYSIS BECAME MORE OF A- OF A
HISTORIC- PICTURE. ALL WE CAN
YOU FURTHER BECAUSE AS AS
SLAVES TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM
SLAVERY IN THE SOUTH IN THE
SOUTHEAST AND THEY WENT MORE
MORE WEST- THEY WERE THEY WERE
MOVING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO I
MEAN THEY WANT TO TAXES UP
BEFORE WITH TEXAS. BECAUSE THEY
WANT TO GET AWAY FROM SLAVERY.
AND THE PRIMARY REASON THAT
THERE WAS A ME U. S. MEXICO
WALLER WAS BECAUSE OF A VERY.
THE OF PEOPLE LIVING IN TEXAS
SAID WE WANT SLAVERY HERE TOO
AND THEY WERE PART OF MEXICO
AND IT WAS ILLEGAL IN MEXICO
FOR DECADES BEFORE IT HAD.
BECOME ILLEGAL SO. THERE IS SO
MUCH TO UNCOVER THAT I HOPE IN
THE PROCESS. OF COMING UP WITH
WHAT THE- THE PLAN ON THE ON
THE REPARATIONS HOW TO ADDRESS
REPARATIONS THAT WE ALSO USES
THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY.
EDUCATE AND INFORM- OF SO MANY
OF US ON MANY ISSUES THAT WE
DON'T KNOW ABOUT AND FINALLY I
WANT TO GIVE THAT AS AN
EXAMPLE- I'VE MENTIONED THIS
WITH REGARDS TO- THE LOSS OF
CONGRESSMAN LEWIS. IN TWO
THOUSAND THREE WE DID THE
IMMIGRANT WORKERS FREEDOM RIDE

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE OF
AMERICANS OF ALL COLORS. OF
TRAVELING ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

SINGLE FOR DEBATE OR DO ON TO
THANK YOU AS WELL AND THANK THE
HUNDRED SO WHO GOT ON THE PHONE
AND PAY WE TO THEIR FOR THIS

BOGGLES MY MIND THAT TO WE ARE
SO IGNORANT ACTUALLY OF A LOT
OF THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY.
EVEN THOSE OF OUR AND ESTERS
THAT WE'RE NOT COMPLICIT BACK
IN THE EIGHTEEN FIFTIES OF WHO
WERE EITHER IGNORANT OR
UNINFORMED AND FRANKLY IN
READING THIS DOCUMENT I
REALIZED THAT I ALSO LIKE I
THINK PROBABLY MOST OF US. ARE
NOT AWARE OF THE DEPTHS. OF THE
DISCRIMINATION AND THE- CURRENT
EXTRAORDINARY DE HUMANIZATION.
OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
SO I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY
IMPORTANT WORTHWHILE MOMENT TO
ITS COMP AIDED. TO THE EXTENT
THAT. THE AMERICA WE ALL AS A
TRIBUTE TO ASCRIBE TO IS REALLY
AN ASPIRATIONAL AMERICA. THAT
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT US
HISTORICALLY VIRTUALLY EVERY.
IMMIGRANT GROUP IN THIS COUNTRY
WAS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST I
THINK OF OUR NATIVE AMERICAN
BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO WERE
SYSTEMATICALLY- OF VICTIMIZED-
I THINK OF. A JUST ABOUT EVERY
GROUP- WHEN THEY CAME NEAR THE
IRISH THE ITALIANS IN NEW YORK
CAN CERTAINLY MY A JEWISH
ANCESTORS BUT NOBODY ARE AT
UNDER WENT THE BLATANT A BREAK
UP OF. AND THE D. HUMAN. WE
BROUGHT PEOPLE OVER TO THEIR- A
FROM AFRICA IN SEOUL OFF
FAMILIES. IT IN BUT HE DIDN'T
IN A WAY THAT ABSOLUTELY IN
HUMAN. AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE
FRANKLY I THINK TO SOME OF US
SO TO LEARN ABOUT THAT IN TO
FACE THE HISTORY OF THIS
COUNTRY. IN HOPES SAYS IN THE
SPIRIT OF JOHN LEWIS WOULD MAKE
US BETTER I THINK IS. AN
OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CERTAINLY
CANNOT AND SHOULD NOT BUT
PASSED SO WITH THAT- SENATOR
SHOULD LIKE TO CLOSE FOR SMART
I WOULD TAKE YOUR COMMENTS AS
MY CLOTHES BUT I WILL TRY TO
RESPOND TO SOME OF THE CONCERN
ISSUES THAT SIN REPORTAGE REYES
AS FAR AS THE NUMBER OF THE-
OF. THIS ARE COMMITTEE- RIGHT
NOW WHY OPEN TO GET THIS WHAT
EIGHT PASSED TO SO I'M PRETTY
WE WHAT WE LOOK AT A LARGE.
BODY IF THAT WAS. YEAH WE WILL.
BUT AS SAY YOU DO FOR ONE THAT
SO START WITH THAT EIGHT BUT
WE'RE- SURE AND WE ARE GONNA
SIGN. THAT BILLS EIGHT OURS THE
MOST. PEOPLE ON THIS WITH THIS
ISSUE WE'RE JUST GONNA A SONG
AN OLD PEOPLE BE A SIGN WILLIE
NAY. TO LET'S LOOK AT REBEL WE
WANT HIS STORY WE WANT PEOPLE
WHO HAVE A LEGAL BACKGROUND
RESEARCH BACKGROUND ALL THOSE
THINGS ARE GONNA BE NECESSARY
TO TRACE BACK ALL THE DAMAGES.
AND RIGHTS THAT PEOPLE. WHO
HAVE BEEN IN SLAVE ARE ENTITLED
TO THROUGH OUT THE FOUR HUNDRED
YEARS OF BEING BROUGHT TO THIS
LAND AS FAR AS A DIVERSITY OF
OPINION THAT'S CRITICAL- I A
FEW SPEAKING PARTY I THINK.
ONLY OUR CURRENT. WAS NOT A
THAT A LINCOLN OR- IN IN AND
NOT UNDER THAT HE PROBABLY
WASN'T THAT AFTERNOON UP UNTIL
THE SICK WERE REPUBLIC SO WE
WANT DIVERSITY OF POLITICAL
PARTY BACK TOOL WE WORK AS A
PEOPLE AND THAT'S WHO WE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE SO WE WILL WALK
OUT BIPARTISAN PARTICIPATION AS
IT MAKES UP THIS BODY BECAUSE
AGAIN. MARTIN LUTHER KING'S
FAMILY WERE REPUBLICANS UNTIL
THE SIXTIES UNTIL KENNEDY. BUT
A LOT OF FOLKS DON'T KNOW THAT.
IN MANY BLACKS. REPUBLICANS
THIS COUNTRY UNTIL THE EARLY.
SIXTIES BECAUSE A RIVER LINCOLN
AND HE DID THE FREE FLOW. AND
WHAT HE IN A MATTER PROP. OF
THE OF ROUGH. THAT WAS QUICKLY
ALL. AFTER HIS A SOUTH. THE P.
FILLED UNDERSTAND. AND THE
ROUNDABOUT WAY TO RE
INSTITUTIONALIZING SLAVERY
THROUGH THE THIRTEENTH
AMENDMENT MASS INCARCERATION IS
NOTHING NEW HERE WHEN IT COMES
TO PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THIS
COUNTRY AND THE THIRTEENTH
AMENDMENT HAS ALLOWED WHO BY
SLAVERY THE LAST. HUNDRED AND
YEARS TO MASS GARCIA. AND WHEN
TALK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SINGLE
FAMILIES. LIKE FAMILIES IN THIS
COUNTRY AGAIN THIS IS BEEN
INSTITUTIONAL. IT WAS TO BLACK
FAMILIES ADVANTAGES THE KICKED
THE MAN OUT THE HOUSE BECAUSE
WHAT THE IT LEARN TO SLAVERY
SEPARATING FAMILIES AND THAT'S
WHAT WE'VE DONE INSTITUTIONAL
TO AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THIS
COUNTRY. FOR AGAIN SINCE OUR
EXISTENCE AND THAT'S HAS
MEANING REMY TALK ABOUT HOW ARE
YOU IMAGE IN THE LOW
PERFORMANCE OF SCORES IN
EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY WENT
AT THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. I
AN AMERICAN SHIP INSTEAD OF
LEARNING THE OTHER GROUP IN
THIS COUNTRY MORE THAN THE
CATHOLIC MORE THAN THE JEWS
MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE AND IN
THE NINETEEN HUNDREDS TO THE-
THOUSANDS THIS. BLACK COLLEGES
WE VALUE EDUCATION BUT THROUGH
THE SYSTEMATICS. SYSTEM HERE IN
AMERICA DISCO OPPRESSION OF THE
NILE. PUNISHING YOU LEARN
GETTING YOUR EYES GOUGED OUT AS
A SLAVE FOR LEARNING TO READ.
BEING PUT TO DEATH LOSE YEAH I
HAD EIGHT. A LAW ON THE BOOKS
UP UNTIL THE LATE EIGHTEEN
HUNDREDS ACT IF YOU WERE A
SLAVE IN YOU TALK TO YOUR CHILD
TO READ. YOU COULD BE SENTENCED
TO DEATH. THERE WERE SEVENTY
TWO LAWS ON THE BOOKS IN
LOUISIANA. FOR DEATH FOR BLACK
FOLKS ONLY TO WIN A RELATED TO
WHITES. SO WHAT THIS IS AT ALL
OF YOU AGREE TO IS A HISTORY
LESSON. IS A HISTORY LESSON
THAT WE SO BADLY NEED HERE IN
THIS COUNTRY. ABOUT WHAT. WE
WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS
REPRESENTED. IT'S BADLY EEDED
SO I'M HONORED TO BE. A JOINT
AUTHORED DOCTOR WEBER A CALL
AUTHORED SHOULD TO. DOCTOR
WHETHER WAS DOCTOR WAS MINE.
TEACHER MY FOR YEAR IN COLLEGE.
AND I DROPPED TO REPLY BECAUSE
I SAW HOW YOU'LL BE FEEL
PREPARED I WAS. A THE BAR HIS
IN THIS COUNTRY ARE AMERICA
HISTORY SO. HELLO TRACK THERE
BUT IT ALL TIES IN WHAT. THIS
BILL IS ABOUT AND AGAIN IT DOES
NOT SPELL OUT THE FORMER
REFEREE THAT WE WILL THAT WE
WILL TAKE. BUT I EVERY DOES
TAKE A BLUE ON UP AS MESSED TO
ADDRESS THE PERSISTENT A FAX OF
SLAVERY AND ITS SUCCESSORS.
INCLUDING JIM CORAL.
SHARECROPPING REDLINING WAY TO
LABOR. OVER IN CARS OVER POLICE.
AND SYSTEMATIC DISCRIMINATION
IN THE PAST WE HAVE. RIGHTLY
ADDRESS DEGREE JUST WRONG TO
REPARATIONS FOR JAPANESE
BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHO WERE
PUT AN INTERNMENT CAMPS DURING
WORLD WAR TWO. WE'VE GOT
DRESSED AND IN THE BEST WAY SO
FAR FAR NATIVE AMERICANS WHO
HAD. ALL OF THEIR LAND STOLEN
FROM THEM. ALL THE COASTAL
LOWLANDS MALIBU TO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA THAT WAS ALL NATIVE
AMERICAN LANDS THOSE REST
RESERVATIONS WHERE THEY ARE NOW
IN LYNN AND ROCKY ON FAR BEHIND
RANCH THE LAND. WAS A
PUNISHMENT. THANK AND THEIR LAN
STAKING AWAY THAT TO MAKE
SOMEONE MAY TO MEN'S I SHOULD
SAY TO. THE COMPACT SO WE
PROVIDE THEM TO BUT NOT AFTER
AMERICAN. WE HAVE YET TO SEE.
ANY JUSTICE SO WE RECKON IT AND
A THREE A RESPONSE. AND THE
GREATER. THE LONGER THE LEGACY.
THE WANTED AT A REPARATIONS
AFTER THE CIVIL CIVIL WAR THAT
WAS PROMISED THE FORTY ACRES
AND A MULE WAS REVERSED AS I
STATED SHIRLEY AFTER LINCOLN
WAS ASSASSINATED FORMER SLAVES
ENDED UP WORKING ON THE LAND.
OF THEIR FORMER- AND SLIPPERS.
SOME REPARATIONS WERE ACTUALLY
PAID BUT NOT TO THE SLAVE BUT
TO THE FARMER. AND SLAVE OWNER
WHO LOST THEIR SLAVES THEY WERE
PAID COMPENSATION FOR THOSE
SLAVES THAT HAS SINCE BEEN FREE.
AGAIN THIS PANDEMIC HAS CLEARLY
SHOWN ITS DISPROPORTIONATE
IMPACT ON BLACK CALIFORNIA'S AS
WELL AS BLACK AMERICANS AND
IT'S ONLY THE LATEST REMINDER

REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT OF THE
PROCESS THAT IS DESIGNED AS A
PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND
EVENTS MENTIONED- IT HAS BEEN
BUILT OVER THE LAST FORTY YEARS
AN INCORPORATE THAT THE SUPPORT
OF FEDERAL AND STATE
GOVERNMENT. MANY COMMUNITY
PARTNERS. AND THE REFUGEE
RESETTLING- AGENCIES THAT
FACILITATE A SUCCESSFUL
TRANSITION FOR OUR CLIENTS. AS
RECESSES RESETTLEMENT AGENCIES
WE WORK CLOSELY WITH A WIDE
RANGE OF LOCAL AGENCIES CAN
PROVIDE FEDERALLY FUNDED
SUPPORT TO HELP NEWLY ARRIVED
REFUGEES AND OTHER VULNERABLE
GROUPS SUCH AS ASYLUM SEEKERS
TO INTEGRATE INTO AND FIVE IN
THE COMMUNITY. AND DESPITE ALL
THIS COORDINATION. THEIR
RELATIONSHIP THAT MANIFEST IN A
SUCCESSFUL RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM
CAN BE ELIMINATED IN AN ACTION
AND SWIFT AS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
IN THE LAST THREE YEARS THE
RESETTLEMENT INFRASTRUCTURE HAS
FACED UNPRECEDENTED ATTACKS
AGAINST WHAT WAS ONCE A
STANDARD ENJOYED BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT. IN A FEW YEARS WE HAVE
WITNESSED STATE BOB TO WITHDRAW

SETTLEMENT CONTINUING THEIR
STATE. ABSENT THERE'S BY AN
RESETTLEMENT WOULD HAVE ENDED
IN OUR STATE COMMUNITIES.
CALIFORNIA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
WELCOMING HOME FOR THE WORLD'S
MOST VULNERABLE AND AT RISK IT
IS THE STATE WHERE THE
RESETTLEMENT PROGRAM AS WE KNOW
IT TODAY WAS ACTUALLY BORN AND
WHEN THE FIRST WAVE OF
SOUTHEASTERN. ASIAN REFUGEES

SHELTER. REFUGEES ARRIVED IN A
VERY TO WORK AND THEY HAVE MADE
THEIR MARK IN CALIFORNIA
CERTAINLY. CONTRIBUTING TO
MAJOR INDUSTRY STARTING
BUSINESSES BOTH SMALL AND LARGE
AND REVITALIZING COMMUNITIES AS
THEY MAKE THEIR HOMES AND RAISE
THEIR FAMILIES HERE. AND
ESPECIALLY DURING THE PANDEMIC
REFUGEES ARE SERVING AS THE
SPECIAL WORKERS IN A VARIETY OF
CAPACITIES AND THOSE WITH
HEALTHCARE TRAINING ARE
STEPPING UP TO HELP ON THE
FRONT LINES OUR STATE AND LOCAL
COMMUNITIES BENEFIT FROM THEIR
RESILIENCE. FINALLY AND
IMPORTANTLY GIVEN SUPPORT AND
OPPORTUNITY REFUGEES GO ON TO
PROBABLY BECOME THE SOME OF OUR
MOST DEVOTED AND ENGAGED U. S.
THAT IS AN- WE BELIEVE IT IS

THAT- WE WILL BRING THE MATTER
BACK TO THE DíAS AND I WANT TO
THANK A- THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL AND TO.
FORGE SENATOR DRAWS THOSE
PRESENTATION. YOU KNOW WE ARE A
NATION OF IMMIGRANTS. WHETHER
THEY WERE THE PEOPLE WHO CAME
OVER INVOLUNTARILY AS WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT PREVIOUSLY AS
SLAVES OR WHETHER THEY CAN THEY
WERE PEOPLE WHO CAME OVER FROM
ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD TO
OVERCOME. OF FAMINE AND WAR
AND- GENOCIDES SO IT COULD THIS
COUNTRY HAS. A HISTORY OF
OPENING ITSELF UP WHETHER IT'S
A TOUGH ROAD TO GET THAT
ACCEPTANCE ONCE THEY GET HERE.
OF COURSE IS FOR THE HISTORY
BOOKS TO DISCUSSION FOR US TO.
LEARN ABOUT- BECAUSE IT HASN'T
BEEN EASY BUT IT IS THE PLACE
WHERE PEOPLE WITH THE HOPE AND
EXPECTATION AND THE PROMISE.
THAT IF THEY- CAME TO THIS
COUNTRY AND THEY WORKED HARD
AND THEY DID THEIR BEST AND
THEY PLAY BY THE RULES THEY
COULD SUCCEED AND IT HAS BEEN
PROVEN FOR SO MANY TO BE THE
CASE. AND YET OF WE STILL FINE
THAT THERE ARE THOSE WANT TO
PUT UP OBSTACLES AND WALLS. ARE
AND KEEP OUT OTHERS AFTER WE
HAVE BEEN THE BENEFICIARIES OF
THAT OPPORTUNITY AND CERTAINLY-
IT IS A VERY SAD MOMENT THAT IT
HAS BECOME- A POLITICAL
FOOTBALL. AT THIS POINT WE KNOW
THE REFUGEES TRYING TO ESCAPE
WAR- IN CENTRAL AMERICA THE
STORIES OF LEGION PEOPLE WHO
ARE HERE BECAUSE OF OPPORTUNITY
BECAUSE I HAVE. FAMILY HERE FOR
WHATEVER REASON. AND TO OF
SADLY WE HAVE OF AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER THAT- YOU KNOW HIS
BASICALLY. IN CITED THOSE KIND
OF INTERNET SEEN WARS AND OF
COURSE THE ORDERS OF MASS- A
FEDERAL OURT ACTUALLY
RECOGNIZED THAT OF MR TRUMP'S
ORDER EXECUTIVE ORDER THIRTEEN
EIGHT EIGHTY EIGHT- WAS
DEFICIENT IN TERMS OF PASSING
CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER COMPLYING
WITH THE SEPARATION OF POWERS
PRINCIPLES AND SATISFYING THE
STRICTURES OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT-
IN OTHER MATTERS OF LAW THAT
DON'T SEEM TO. MEAN A WHOLE LOT
TO. THIS INDIVIDUAL BUT TO ITS
CREDIT THE OF THE FEDERAL COURT
DID ENJYING THAT ORDER NONE
THE LESS IT IS ON APPEAL. AND I
THINK IT'S AND THAT WE-
RECOGNIZE AND VALUE THOSE
PEOPLE IN RECOGNIZING VALUE THE
LAW. MY UNDERSTANDING IS
THERE'S NO LOCALITY THAT IS
SUPPOSED THIS BILL OR HAS IT
SUGGESTED THAT IT'S AN UNDUE
INFRINGEMENT ON LOCAL CONTROL-
IT REALLY ISN'T CONTROVERSIAL
IT IT SIMPLY REQUIRES THE
CALIFORNIA LOCALITIES. NOT
REFUSE TO CONSENT TO RESETTLE
REFUGEES IN A WAY THAT
INTENTIONALLY OR EFFECTIVELY.
DISCRIMINATES ON THE BASIS OF
RACE OR GENDER OR OTHER
PROTECTED CHARACTERISTIC SO-
THIS BILL REALLY. I WOULD REFER
TO IT IS SORT OF A NO BRAINER.
AND IT IS ESSENTIAL TO ENSURE
THE CALIFORNIA CAN CONTINUE TO
LEAD THE COUNTRY IN OPENING OUR
DOORS. TO OUR THE REFUGEE
POPULATION IT IS HERE SEEKING A
BETTER LIFE IS ALL OF OUR
PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS AND
GREAT GRANDPARENTS AND GREAT
GREAT GRANDPARENTS BEFORE THEM
HAVE DONE SO WITH THAT I
APPRECIATE THIS BILL AND- WOULD
WELCOME ANY OTHER COMMENTS.
CENTER ON BURKE MOVES THE BILL.
THE COMMENTS ALL RIGHT- SENATOR
DRAWN SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE AS FOR YOUR AYE VOTE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR
VERY GOOD SO THE MOTION BY

CASCADE A CASKET EIGHT ZERO
WITH THE MISSING MEMBER VOTE IS

MEMBER MISSING WE WILL HOLD THE
ROLE OPEN AND WHEN WE'RE DONE
WITH OUR NEXT A BILL WE WILL
ASK ANY MEMBERS WHO WERE NOT
HERE WHO WISH TO VOTE TO PLEASE
COME BACK BECAUSE- WE WILL THEN
DO ONE ROUND. AND THEN WE WILL
CLOSE THE ROLES WITH THAT WE
HAVE ONE FINAL BILL THIS IS AB
THIRTY THREE SIXTY C. THIRTY
THREE SIXTY SIX THE. ASSEMBLY
COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY MEASURE
FOR DEALING WITH JUDICIAL
EMERGENCIES AND IT ALSO HAS AN
EMERGENCY CLAUSE. OF SENATOR
EXCUSE ME AS MEMBER STONE
WELCOME TO A PLEASE FEEL FREE
TO PRESENT. THANK YOU I THINK
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE
STATE'S RESPONSE OF PANDEMIC
SHOWN THAT A LOT OF THE SYSTEMS
THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE FOR A
STATEEMERGENCY ARE SOMETIMES
INADEQUATE IN FACT WHEN THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL NEEDED
AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO ADJUST
WHAT IT NEEDED TO ADJUST IT
TOOK. A AN EXECUTIVE ORDER SO
INSTEAD OF LETTING THE
EXECUTIVE ALWAYS THAT THEN I
THINK IT'S TIME FOR US IS AS
THE LEGISLATURE TO ENSURE THAT
WE HAVE THE MECHANISMS IN PLACE
TO ALLOW. ALL THREE BRANCHES OF
GOVERNMENT FUNCTION DURING
STATEWIDE. EMERGENCIES THE
EXISTING LAW. ALLOWS THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL THE CHIEF
JUSTICE TO. ADDRESS SOME OF
THESE EMERGENCIES BUT IT'S ONLY
A COUNTY BY COUNTY BASIS AND AT
THE REQUEST OF THE PRESIDING
JUDGE OF THAT COUNTY WITH THIS
BILL DOES IS IT GIVES A FORTY
TWO. THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL TO
THE CHAIR THE USUAL COUNSEL. TO
THOSE ADJUSTMENTS ON WIDE OPEN
BECAUSE THESE EMERGENCIES DON'T
ARE NOT CONTAINED COUNTY BY
COUNTY. SO IT'S ABOUT
EFFICIENCY IT'S ABOUT THE
LEGISLATURE SETTING THE
STANDARD. FOR THE- JUDICIAL
BRANCH TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT IT
NEEDS TO DO TO ADDRESS.
EMERGENCIES AND I ASK FOR YOUR
AYE ABOUT. THANK YOU OF WE WILL
NOW GO TO OUR WITNESSES ONLINE
I WILL HAVE TO REPEAT THAT DUE
TO THE CONSTRAINTS REGARDING
THE LENGTH OF HEARINGS
TECHNOLOGY CONSIDERATIONS AND
CLEANING PROTOCOLS. COMMITTEES
ARE INSTITUTING OR BE REQUIRED
TO INSTITUTE A THREE MINUTE
TIME LIMIT- TO BE SHARED
BETWEEN THE I BELIEVE THERE TO
WITNESSES HERE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE. ALL OTHERS WHO
WISH TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT MUST
LIMIT THEIR COMMENTS TO THEIR
NAME AFFILIATION AND POSITION
ON THE MEASURES OF THE SAME
WILL APPLY TO ANY OPPOSITION.
AND WITH THAT- I BELIEVE WE
HAVE- NANCY TRAVEL WITH THE
CONSUMER ATTORNEYS OF
CALIFORNIA ON THE LINE IN
SUPPORT AS WELL AS MIKE BELOW
TO ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
DEFENSE COUNSEL. ALSO ON THE
LINE IN SUPPORT. BETTER
MODERATORS CHECK CORRECT. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR THIS IS NANCY
TRAVEL AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER STONE
MANSION AND THE COPA CRISIS
REALLY LAID BARE THE INADEQUACY
OF THE CURRENT AUTHORITY. FOR
THE CHIEF JUSTICE TO DEAL WITH
THE STATE WIDE EMERGENCY. SO
THIS BILL IS A NECESSARY FIRST
STEP. TO GIVE HER THE AUTHORITY
TO ATTEMPT TO OF HOPE WITH THE
TYPE OF EMERGENCY THAT WE'VE
BEEN FACING FOR THE LAST
SEVERAL MONTHS. EVEN WITH THE
AUTHORITY THAT SHE WAS GRANTED
BY THE EXECUTIVE ORDER AND NOW
THE AUTHORITY THAT WOULD BE
OFFERED UNDER THIS STILL.
ACROSS THE STATE WE REALLY HAVE
SEEN EXTREME IN EQUITY. IN HOW
FULL WHO NEED TO GO TO COURT
CAN GET JUSTICE- MISTER BELOW
NEIER REPRESENTING. PEOPLE WHO
HAVE CIVIL CASES AND OF COURSE
THAT'S EVERYTHING FROM ELDER
ABUSE TO POLICE BRUTALITY TO
PERSONAL INJURY TO PRODUCT
LIABILITY AND WHAT WE ARE
SEEING AND THIS WILL REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL ATTENTION GOING
FORWARD. IS THAT TRIAL DATES
ARE BEING SEVERELY DELAYED IN
SOME COUNTIES PEOPLE ARE ABLE
TO. ELECTRONICALLY FILE AND
OTHER COUNTIES THEY CAN'T IN
SOME COUNTIES THEY CAN GET A
COURT DATE AND OTHERS THEY
CAN'T. AND SO THIS BILL. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO STARTING TO HAVE
UNIFORMITY INJUSTICE ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO THAT IT
SHOULDN'T MATTER WHICH COUNTY
YOU HAPPEN TO BE IN ABOUT BEING
ABLE TO GET YOUR DAY IN COURT.
ON SO WE THINK IT'S ESSENTIAL-
ALONG WITH NECESSARY FUNDING
FOR THE COURTS SO THEY CAN
OPERATE REMOTELY AND THEY CAN'T
PROVIDE JUSTICE TO PEOPLE
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU MISTER RUBBLE NEXT
MADAM CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS A
MIKE BELOW TO ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA DEFENSE COUNSEL I
WOULD MERELY ADD. THAT THIS WE
DON'T VIEW THIS INTERROGATION
OF THE APPROPRIATE AND
NECESSARY AUTHORITY OF
INDIVIDUAL PRESIDING JUDGES. A
THAT WILL ALWAYS BE TAKEN INTO-
IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION- BUT
AS- HIS TRAVEL NOTED YOU KNOW
WE'RE IN A TIME WHERE PEOPLE
OPERATE IN MULTIPLE COUNTIES-
AND SO THERE OUGHT TO BE
REASONABLE. ASSURANCE THAT
JUSTICE WILL BE A FORM.
REGARDLESS OF WHICH COUNTY
YOU'RE IN ITS- HE- WRITTEN
CONTEMPLATION OF A CATASTROPHE
OF FIRE OR OR SOME AFFECT A
SMALL NUMBER OF COUNTIES AND
REALLY DIDN'T CONTEMPLATE A
STATEWIDE EMERGENCY LIKE THE
PANDEMIC HOUSE HAS GIVEN US SO
AGAIN WE THINK THIS IS
IMPORTANT REGARDLESS OF WHO THE
CHIEF JUSTICE IS- IN PLANNING
FOR THE FUTURE AND FOR THAT WE
WOULD ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT-
LET'S GO TO- FORTY TWO OR THREE
