CALIFORNIA DUE TO ALZHEIMER'S
INCREASED TWO HUNDRED AND 43%
FROM TWO THOUSAND TO TWENTY
FIFTEEN AND IN TWENTY FIFTEEN
ALZHEIMER'S WAS THE THIRD
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH.
ACCORDING TO THE ALZHEIMER'S
ASSOCIATION LESS THAN HALF OF
THE INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH
ALZHEIMER'S HAVE BEEN GIVEN A
DIAGNOSIS THE LACK OF A
DIAGNOSIS LEADS TO A NUMBER OF
CHALLENGES RELATED TO PLANNING
CARE COST OF CARE AND
ENGAGEMENT IN CLINICAL TRIALS.
WHILE THE STATE HAS A GERIATRIC
CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS AND HAS FUNDED THE
DEVELOPMENT OF TOOLS TO HELP
PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS DIAGNOSE
FOR ALZHEIMER'S IT CHALLENGES
IN RECEIVING A TIMELY AND
ACCURATE ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS
CONTINUE TO PERSIST. FOR
EXAMPLE ANY SURE MY SURVEY
CONDUCTED BY THE ALZHEIMER'S
ASSOCIATION REVEALED THAT
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIANS THE A
GROWING ISSUE PRESENTED BY
DEMENTIA AND FEEL UNPREPARED
MORE THAN HALF SAY THEY ARE NOT
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DEMENTIA
CARE SPECIALIST IN THE AREA TO
MEET PATIENT DEMAND AND NEARLY
39% REPORT THAT THEY ARE NEVER
OR ONLY SOMETIMES COMFORTABLE
MAKING THE DIAGNOSIS OF

CONCERNED THAT PHYSICIANS
SHOULD HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO
CHOOSE CONTINUING EDUCATION
MOST APPROPRIATE TO THEIR
PRACTICE AND THAT MANDATING
CERTAIN COURSEWORK BY STATUTE
MAINLY TO FUTURE PRESSURES TO
DO SO ON OTHER MATTERS AND
POTENTIALLY CROWD OUT OTHER
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS THE

POPULATION. ON THIS TOPIC
MISTER CHAIRMAN AS OF ALL OTHER

THE FLOOR MEMBERS. DO YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
REGARDING SENATE BILL. FORTY
EIGHT- FIRST TRUST NOTICE
CENTER EGGMAN. BUT THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIR HI I GUESS THE
QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR WHY TAKE
THE ROUTE OF MANDATING THE- THE
COURSE VERSES AS AS THE
OPPOSITION SUGGESTED LETTING
THEM MEDICAL BOARD DECIDE IF
ONE IS NEEDED OR NOT. THREE
THANK YOU AND YOU KNOW OUR OUR
INTENT IS THAT IS TO ENSURE
THAT FOLKS HAVE ACCESS TO THIS
INFORMATION BECAUSE IT'S OFTEN
THE PRIMARY CARE DOCTORS- AND
IN THE FAMILY POSITIONS THAT
FIRST SEE- THE INDIVIDUALS AND
SO. IT IS YOU KNOW PART OF THE-
THE MASTER PLAN I THINK AFTER
SEEN THE IN MASTER PLAN ON
AGING AND HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS-
ARE HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS ARE
NOT GETTING DINERS WE NEED TO
GET DIAGNOSED AND SO ARE OUR
INTENT IS REALLY TO SAY LOOK
THIS THIS SHOULD BE. SOMETHING
THAT EVERYONE HAS SOME
FAMILIARITY CERTAINLY WE'RE NOT
ASKING FOR THE GENERAL
SPECIALIST FOR FAMILY
PHYSICIANS TO BECOME A
SPECIALIST IN ANYWAYS- WE JUST
WANT SOME UNDERSTANDING AND
THIS COMES ALSO FROM SURVEYS
FROM THE DECISIONS THEMSELVES
SAYING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH TRAINING OR INFORMATION.
I KNOW THAT I'VE HEARD FROM
POSITIONS AT THE I'D ABSOLUTELY
WELCOME IT'S NOT MY SPECIALTY
BUT I'D WELCOME KNOWING
SOMETHING AND SO WE'RE TRYING
TO IDENTIFY WHAT IT WOULD LOOK
LIKE- AS YOU KNOW THIS BILL WAS
JUST INTRODUCED THIS IS THE
FIRST HEARING SO WE'RE STILL IN
CONVERSATIONS TO IDENTIFY. ANY
THE CONVERSATIONON WHETHER IT
SHOULD BE SHALL OR YOU KNOW- OR
MAY I THINK IS PART OF THIS
CONVERSATION OF WHAT WILL IT
CHEAP AND WE'RE OPEN TO HAVING
A CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT IT IS
SHE'S AT THE END BECAUSE THE
OUTCOME IS FOR MORE PEOPLE TO
BE DIAGNOSED. AND I WOULD. AND
I KNOW YOU ARE AN AUTHOR AS A
LEAD. IN I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORKING ON
I KNOW IT'S IMPORTANT- AND WITH
I WOULD MOVE THE BILL. THANK
YOU. BUT PAN. THANK YOU- FAIR
AND- FIRST OF ALL I DO
APPRECIATE- THE AUTHORS GOALS
AND THE SPONSORS SCHOOL OF-
TRYING TO IMPROVE- SCREENING
AND- AND MANAGEMENT OF- PEOPLE
WITH DEMENTIA- AND HOWEVER I DO
HAVE CONCERNS THAT THE APPROACH
WHICH IS TO MANDATE CONTINUE
EDUCATION IS NOT THE
APPROPRIATE ONE OR DEFECTIVE
WAY OF GOING ABOUT DOING THIS
FACT IN THE PAST THIS COMMITTEE
HAS- GENERALLY- DISCOURAGED-
MANDATING CONCERNING EDUCATION
BECAUSE OUT AS A MEDICAL
EDUCATOR I TELL YOU THAT ADULT
LEARNING PRINCIPLES BECAUSE WE
WANT TO PLAY EVIDENCE TO OUR
POLICIES. FIGLEY SAY THAT FOR
ADULTS THAT SELF DIRECTED
LEARNING IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO FOR PEOPLE TO LEARN SO
MAKING SOMEONE SIT THROUGH A
CLASS THAT THEY THEMSELVES- DID
NOT CHOOSE BUT ARE REQUIRED TO
IS NOT A VERY EFFECTIVE WAY OF
TRYING TO- TO IMPROVE THEIR
THEIR SKILLS SAID IN FACT I
THINK THE I APPRECIATE THE
TESTIMONY FROM SUPPORTERS BUT
I'M NOT SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT
SOLUTION. HOWEVER I WOULD SAY
THAT- THAT THE ANSWERS ARE THE
DRAWCONTRAST ACTUALLY IS FOR
EXAMPLE- WE'RE TRYING TO
IMPROVE- BECAUSE PETERSON WE'RE
TRYING TO PROVE SCREENING FOR
ADVERSE HEALTH EVENTS- SO WHAT
WE HAVEN'T DONE IS MANDATE THAT
PEDIATRICIANS AND OTHER
PHYSICIANS TAKE YOUR CHILDREN
ARE MANDATED TO SIT THROUGH S.
C. C. COURSE ABOUT ADVERSE
CHILDHOOD EVENTS BECAUSE SOME
ACTUALLY ARE FAIRLY FAMILIAR
JUDGE THEREFORE CHOOSE HOWEVER
WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE'VE
ESTABLISHED OUTCOME MEASURES-
THROUGH OUR MEDICAL PROGRAM
WE'VE- ALSO. SET QUALITY
STANDARDS AROUND THAT AND I
HOPE THAT THAT'S THE APPROACH
THAT THE- THE PROPONENTS MIGHT
WANT TO CONSIDER AS AN
ALTERNATIVE SIDE THAT BECAUSE
IT'S REALLY THE OUTCOME THAT
MATTERS IT'S NOT THAT SOMEONE
DID SOMEONE TO OF COURSE AND
TAKE. THAT OFF THEY SAT THROUGH
A COURSE INHOPEFULLY. AND
FORTY THIS IS ALSO A HAVING SAN.
THIS AND WE CAN ABOUT WIFE OUR
VERSUS HOURS OR SIX HOURS- AND
IT'S EVERY TWO YEARS. THAT
SOMEONE DOES IT JUST TAKE THE
SAME COURSE EVERY TWO YEARS IN
ORDER TO CHECK OFF THE
REQUIREMENTS OF WE'RE NOT
EXACTLY- THREE OR KNOWLEDGE OR
ACTUALLY TAKING AWAY THEIR
OPPORTUNITY TO THAN TO TAKE
COURSES AND OTHER THINGS THAT
THEY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT. SO I
APPRECIATE- THE AUTHORS- GOALS
I WOULD CERTAINLY LOOK FORWARD
TO THE OPPORTUNITY TO- TO- TO
WORK WITH YOU A CERTAIN AMOUNT
ON THIS BUT FORTUNATE. CANNOT
SUPPORT THE BILL AS IT IS AT
THIS TIME BUT I APPRECIATE YOU
HAVING THESE CONVERSATIONS AND
I HOPE THAT- THOSE
CONVERSATIONS ARE. BECOME
FRUITFUL AND THAT WE CAN.
REALLY LOOK AT A BILL THAT
ACTUALLY WOULD IMPROVE OUTCOMES
FOR- OUT PATIENTS WITH DEMENTIA
THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATE-ROOM. I THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR- THE CEREMONY I WANT TO
COMMEND YOU ON THIS BILL- MY
FAMILY HAS HAD A DIRECT AND
VERY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH
ALZHEIMER'S- AND ACTUALLY IT IT
COMPLETELY CORRESPONDS TO THE
SCENARIO OUTLINED. MY WIFE'S
MOM. WAS. ASSESSED IN
IMPROPERLY DIAGNOSED FRESHLY
THREE YEARS BEFORE FINAL
DIAGNOSIS WAS ACTUALLY MADE
CLEAR THAT FALSE DIAGNOSIS
UNFORTUNATELY GAVE MY FATHER IN
LAW THE HOPE. THAT HIS BELOVED
WIFE WAS NOT SUFFERING FROM
DEMENTIA AND AS A RESULT HE
FOUGHT THAT PROCESS FOR SEVERAL
YEARS AND AS A CONSEQUENCE- NOT
ONLY WAS HER CARE LESS THAN
IDEAL BUT THE FAMILY LOST
PRECIOUS TIME. WITH THEIR MOM
SO I UNDERSTAND YOU'VE OFFERED
TO TAKE AMENDMENTS- AND I AM
GRATEFUL FOR THAT I COMMEND YOU
ON THIS BILL AND I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK BE ADDED AS A
CO AUTHOR RICHMOND FORD. THANK
CENTER NEWMAN CENTER OF YOUR
MAKEUP. I WANT TO THANK
COLLEAGUE FOR I THINK THIS IS I
WANT TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM FOR
SHARING THAT- PERSONALS IN I
WANT TO ECHO HIS SENTIMENTS
ABOUT. THE GOALS OF THIS BILL-
THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY INCREDIBLY
LAUDABLE- I HAD A QUESTION A
COUPLE QUESTIONS JUST THE FIRST
WITH THIS BILL AS WRITTEN A
PLIGHT OF PEDIATRICIANS. RIGHT
NOW THE RIGHT NOW THE BILL-
ONLY APPLIES. TO FAMILY
PHYSICIANS PHYSICIANS
ASSISTANTS AND GENERAL
INTERNIST NOT. ALL OKAY JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE JUST BECAUSE MY
STAFF WAS NOT CLEAR FROM THE
LANGUAGE IF IT MIGHT ALSO
PLAYED PETERSON'S. AND I THINK
I WOULD JUST- ECHO SOME OF THE
CONCERNS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE OPEN AMENDMENTS AND
THAT'S WONDERFUL JUST AROUND-
TAILORING THE BILL JUST
BECAUSE- YOU KNOW I HAVE A
NUMBER OF PHYSICIANS IN MY
FAMILY AND I THINK THAT THEY-
WOULD ECHO SOME OF DR PANTS
AND- I'M SORRY MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SACRAMENTO'S CONCERNS-
JUST AROUND- ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS AND SO JUST MAKING
SURE THAT. IT THE BILL IS
TAILORED AND SO THAT THOSE WHO
MIGHT BENEFIT FROM THIS ARE THE
ONES RECEIVING IT WOULD BE.
AMAZING BUT. I THANK YOU FOR
PROPOSING THIS BILL. I THINK
IT'S- THANK YOU SO MEN MEMBERS
pOTHER. CENTER JONES. I THINK
ANY OF TWO OTHER MICROPHONES UP
AS WELL MISTER CHAIR I JUST
WANT TO SHARE THE- I SHARE THE
CONCERNS OF THE OPPOSITION ON
THE BILL SO I ALSO WON'T BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY BUT I DO
WANT THE FOLKS KNOW THEY'RE
PROPOSING A BILL. THAT YOU KNOW
I ANNUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE
ALZHEIMER AWARENESS DAY I'VE
GOT TO THE PURPLE SASHES IN MY
OFFICE RIGHT NOW- SO WE'LL KEEP
UP THE EFFORTS OF- OF THAT BUT
UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE
CONCERNS- I WON'T BE SUPPORTING
THE BILL TODAY. THANK YOU
MISTER. THANK YOU- CENTER JONES
CENTER HER TITLE. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I JUST WANT TO
COMMEND THREE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD I
THINK THAT THERE'S A REAL ISSUE
TO ADDRESS HERE. AND BUT I
THINK IT ALSO- I HAVE SOME
CONCERNS REGARDING THE BILL AND
HOW AND HOW IT'S BEING
ADDRESSED I THINK WE DEFINITELY
NEED TO HAVE A GREAT A
CONVERSATION AROUND MEDICAL
EDUCATION MEDICAL TRAINING AND
CONTINUING EDUCATION- AND- I
REALLY WANT TO WORK- WITH THE
AUTHOR MOVING FORWARD BUT AT
THE MOMENT DOES THE BILL STAND
TAKEN NOT SUPPORTED. BUT I LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR AND MOVING THIS FALL
ALONG THE WAY FORWARD THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR CENTER
OF TROUBLES. GOOD MORNING AND
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEAK- I WOULD LIKE TO
COMMEND THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING
FORTH SUCH AN IMPORTANT BILL AS
SOMEONE WHO- HAS BEEN
PERSONALLY TOUCHED IN OUR
FAMILY WITH- WITH ALZHEIMER'S
AND DEMENTIA I THINK THE
GREATEST CONCERN THAT WE HAVE
THAT IT TOOK OVER TEN YEARS.
FOR OUR FAMILY MEMBER MY
GRANDMOTHER IN THIS CASE WHO I
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE
WITHIN MEXICO- WAS DIAGNOSED
BEFORE SHE WAS DIAGNOSED AND
THERE WAS A LOT OF HARM THAT
HAPPENED IN THE PROCESS OF. NOT
BEING DIAGNOSED BECAUSE WE DID
NOT FIRST OF ALL WE'RE NOT VERY
AWARE OF ALZHEIMER'S OR
DEMENTIA AND- AND IT CREATED A
LOT HAVE ACT. IN IN IN THE
FAMILY SO. I DO APPRECIATE THE
BILL'S I DO UNDERSTAND THE
CONCERNS OF DOCTOR PAN HOUSE.
BUT I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY THAT THE- AUTHOR-
HAS IN REGARDS TO AMENDING IT
SO THAT IT DOES. ACCOMMODATE
SOME OF THE CONCERNS BUT I DO
BELIEVE THAT WE DO NEED MORE
AWARENESS IN THE MEDICAL.
PROFESSION ESPECIALLY THE ONES
THAT ARE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH
OUR WITH THE- WITH THE PEOPLE
WHO COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE
ALZHEIMER'S DEMENTIA SO I THINK
THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE
AWARENESS AND DEFINITELY MORE
TRAINING IN. AND DIAGNOSING
THE- THE- THE DISEASE WHICH
STARTS VERY VERY LIGHT YEAH.
INNOCUOUS SO- WITH THAT THOUGH-
THANK YOU THANKS TO THE AUTHOR
FOR WILLING TO WORK IN AND
ACCEPT AMENDMENTS AND IF SHE
WOULD ACCEPT A CO AUTHOR BE
MORE THAN HAPPY TO SIGN ON TO
THIS BILL. AND I DO MOVE- WE
HOPE TO MOVE THIS AT BILLBOARD.
THANK YOU MA'AM CENTER BECKER.
TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE
POINT THAT THIS IS A GROWING
PHENOMENON AS WE LIVE LONGER
SAYS MR RIGHT NOW ABOUT ONE
THIRD OF THOSE EIGHTY FIVE AND
OLDER. HAVE ALZHEIMER'S AND
I'VE HEARD ESTIMATES UP TO
EIGHT ONE HALF OF FOLKS EIGHTY
FIVE AN OLD OLDER WILL GET
ALZHEIMER'S THIS IS INCREASING-
THE INCREASING ISSUE AND I
THINK THIS LEGISLATION IS VERY
TIMELY. AND I THINK THE AUTHOR.
THANK YOU SENATOR DODD. I YES
I'D LIKE TO ALSO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS-
FORWARD FOR THE REASONS MY
COLLEAGUES OF ARTISTS-
DESCRIBED. I DO HAVE SOME
CONCERNS WITH THIS ISSUE ABOUT
MAKING THIS COURSE REPEATED
EVERY TWO YEARS I DID NOT SEE
THAT ANALYSIS I MAY HAVE MISSED
IT. BUT I THINK I WOULD HOPE
THAT THE AUTHOR WOULD TAKE A
LOOK AT THAT- MOVING FORWARD
AND- YOU KNOW WILL WORK WITH
THE OPPOSITION ON THAT. POINT
THANK YOU CENTER DOT ANY OTHER
MEMBERS. SO ALONE I GUESS I
HAVE A QUESTION AND A COMMENT I
GUESS THIS- THIS IS CERTAINLY.
TOUCHED US ALL AND IF IT HAS
ENDED WILL I. MY MOTHER IN LAW
AND MY UNCLE BOTH PASSED FROM
ALZHEIMER'S ALZHEIMER'S RELATED
COMPLICATIONS SO- I'M ACUTELY
AWARE OF THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE
AS OBVIOUSLY ARE MY COLLEAGUES
IN MANY MANY MANY. THOUSANDS
AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS
OUR COUNTRY MY QUESTION IS
GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE
OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIANS- IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
CERTAINLY ELSEWHERE PROBABLY
THOUSANDS OF THEM ARE PROVIDING
PRIMARY CARE TO RESIDENTS IN
OUR STATE- EVERY DAY- WAS THERE
A REASON THAT- OSTEOPATHIC
PHYSICIANS- WERE LEFT. OUT OF
THE EDUCATION REQUIREMENT
REFERENCED IN YOUR BILL. THANK
YOU THANK YOU CHAIR YOU KNOW WE
AGREED THAT MORE PEOPLE YOU
KNOW MORE INDIVIDUALS THAT
WOULD INCREASE THE
UNDERSTANDING BUT WE DID WANT
TO NARROW THE SCOPE OF THE
BILL- AND WE ALSO UNDERSTAND
THAT. THE FOR PRIMARY CARE
PHYSICIANS ARE FOR SO MANY THE
FIRST STOP IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T
MEAN THAT WE CAN AND CONSIDER
OTHERS BUT I THINK IT WAS
IMPORTANT FOR US TO NARROW AND
GIVEN THE FEEDBACK OF THE
COMMITTEE I WE ARE HAPPY TO
COMMUNICATE- WITH OTHER
PROVIDER GROUPS TO POTENTIALLY
INCLUDE THEM IN THE FUTURE- BUT
CERTAINLY YOU KNOW OUR GOAL IS
TO START SOMEWHERE- AND I THINK
THAT THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE SEEING
WITH THE BILL GENERALLY IT.
STARTS SOMEWHERE AND IT GIVES
US POLICY TO DISCUSS AND WE'RE
VERY OPEN TO AMENDMENTS WERE
OPEN TO HAVING A CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW TO REACH THE OUTCOME-
THAT WE ALL WANT AND SO.
CERTAINLY AGAIN WE'RE OPEN WE
SAW IT IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS AND ARE OPEN TO
DISCUSSIONS. THANK YOU SENATOR
AND AS YOU MOVE HOPEFULLY MOVE
THIS BILL FORWARD- THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE. ARE YOU AND YOUR
TEAM WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THE-
PRIMARY CARE THAT OSTEOPATHIC
PHYSICIANS ACTUALLY PROVIDE ON
A DAY TO DAY BASIS IN THE STATE
AND- AND TAKE A LOOK AT
INCLUDING. OSTEOPATHIC
PHYSICIANS- DEOS. ARE WITHIN
THE SCOPE OF YOUR BILL. CENTER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. THANK
YOU. SO I WANT TO THANK ALL MY
COLLEAGUES AND I WHO ARE
SUPPORTING AND THOSE WHO HAVE
EXPRESSED CONCERNS THIS IS A
FIRST STEP- SO I UNDERSTAND THE
CONCERNS BUT I ALSO HOPE. THAT
WE COULD SEE A WAY TO SUPPORT
THIS BECAUSE WITHOUT THE BILL
WE DON'T HAVE CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT HOW WE CAN GET TO THE END
GOAL. I CERTAINLY I WELCOME ALL
OF THAT THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE
BEEN SEPARATIONS AND EXPRESSED
YOU'D LIKE TO BE A CO AUTHOR I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO
FIND A WAY AND ALSO VEHICLES TO
ACHIEVE THE OUTCOMES AND HAPPY
TO CONTINUE WORKING. OUT WITH
THOSE OF YOU WHO I WOULD LIKE
TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE I AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU THE BILL AS

SIXTEEN. THIS IS YOUR NOW THAT
I MADE IT INTO THE- TO THE
MICROPHONE. THIS WAS A TEST IS
A TEST I FAILED AT MISERABLY.
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. EVERY YEAR 55% OF
LICENSE CONTRACTORS CLAIM TO
HAVE NO EMPLOYEES AND FILE FOR
AN EXEMPTION FROM HAVING
WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE
FOR THE CONTRACTORS STATE
LICENSE BOARD. HOWEVER THE
CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE BOARD
IN RESEARCH IN ENFORCEMENT CASE
DATA DEMONSTRATES THAT MANY
CONTRACTORS ARE FALSELY MAKING
THAT CLAIM. THIS DRIVES UP THE
COST OF WORKERS COMPENSATION
INSURANCE FOR THE GOOD ACTORS
IT PUTS WORKERS AT RISK WHEN
THEIR PLAYER LACKS SUCH
INSURANCE. SB TWO SIXTEEN WILL
HELP PROTECT WORKERS IN
PRECLUDE THE FILING OF WORKERS
COMPENSATION EXEMPTIONS FOR
CONCRETE. HVAC IN TREE SERVICE
CONTRACTORS AND BY TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE WILL REQUIRE ALL
CONTRACTORS TO MAINTAIN WORKERS
COMPENSATION INSURANCE.
REQUIRING ALL CONTRACTORS TO
HAVE WORKERS COMPENSATION
INSURANCE WILL PROTECT WORKERS
WHO WERE INJURED ON THE JOB
WHETHER THEY'RE WORKING FOR THE
CONTRACTOR FOR A DAY A WEEK OR
FULL TIME IT LEVEL THE PLAYING
FIELD FOR LAW ABIDING
CONTRACTORS. THE SYSTEM. THE
SYSTEMIC PROBLEM OF CONTRACTORS
CLAIMING AN EXEMPTION EVEN
WHILE HAVING EMPLOYEES HAS LED
TO UNFAIR INCREASES IN WORKERS
COMPENSATION FOR COMPLY
CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES IN EXPOSES
WORKERS AND CONSUMERS TO
PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL RISKS
HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
THE CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE
BOARD IS MICHAEL JIM THAT SKI.
THANK YOU A SENATOR AS WE
PREVIOUSLY NOTED EACH SIDE WILL
ONLY BE PERMITTED A TOTAL OF
THREE MINUTES. ALL OTHERS
WISHING TO TESTIFY SHOULD LIMIT
TESTIMONY TO THEIR NAME
AFFILIATION AND POSITION ON THE
MEASURES PLEASE PROCEED. DO WE
HAVE SOMEONE PRESENTING FROM
THE CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE
BOARD. OKAY EARLY- CENTER
THEY'RE NOT ON THE LINE JUST.
IS UPS OKAY WHICH PROVIDES NEXT
I HEAR FROM WITNESSES IN THE
GALLERY. GOOD MORNING SHARE
MEMBERS MIGHT CHEN THAT HE FOR
THE CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSE
BOARD THE BOARD IS PLEASED TO
SPONSOR SB TWO ONE SIX. AS THE
SENATOR STATED- EVERY YEAR 55%
OF LICENSE CONTRACTORS TO FILE
AN EXEMPTION CLAIMING THEY HAVE
NO EMPLOYEES AND THE
ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATIONS DO
BEAR OUT THAT MANY OF THEM IN
FACT DO. SO THE EXISTING
STRUCTURE OF ALLOWING A
LICENSED CONTRACTOR TO FILE
EITHER PROOF OF INSURANCE OR AN
EXEMPTION HAS NOT BEEN
EFFECTIVE. NOW THE BOARD IS OF
COURSE COMMITTED TO EXERCISING
ITS LIMITED AUTHORITY IN THIS
AREA AS IT STANDS IT TO PROTECT
WORKERS AND TO PROTECT THE
PUBLIC IT DOES SO BY TAKING
ADMINISTRATIVE OR CRIMINAL
ACTIONS AGAINST LICENSED OR
UNLICENSED CONTRACTORS. WERE
FOUND TO HAVE EMPLOYEES BUT
HAVE NO COVERAGE IN PLACE.
EVERY YEAR THEBOARD DOES ISSUE
HUNDREDS OF STOP WORK ORDERS OR
LEGAL ACTION FOR HAVING A FAULT
EXEMPTION ON FILE- BUT AFFORD.
THIS HAS NOT MOVED THE
PROVERBIAL NEEDLE AS A NUMBER
OF EXEMPTIONS THAT REMAIN
CONSISTENT EVERY YEAR. AND THE
BOARD IS SIMPLY NOT STAFF TO
AUDIT THE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND OR SO
CONTRACTORS WHO CLAIM NOT TO
HAVE EMPLOYEES. SO WITH THAT
SAID- WE APPRECIATE YOUR AYE
VOTE AND I'M AVAILABLE TO
ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS THANK YOU

OKAY SENATOR EGGMAN. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH I GUESS I JUST HAVE
ONE QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR AND
I THINK WE'VE ALL. BEEN
EXPERIENCING. SURE PROJECTS
AROUND THE HOUSE THAT WE'VE
HIRED CONTRACTORS FOR. THEM
WHAT WHAT HAPPENS- IF SOMEBODY
IS JUST A ONE PERSON
CONTRACTING ASSOCIATION- ONE
PERSON BUSINESS. WELL IF IT. HI
MAY- THE YOU KNOW- ALLOW THE-
YOU KNOW THE GENTLEMAN FROM
STATE CONTRACTORS LICENSE BOARD
TO OPINE ON THIS BUT BY MY
READING OF THIS IS IF THEY
LEGITIMATELY ARE A ONE PERSON
OPERATION THAT THEY WOULD
EITHER BE GET EXACT OR PERHAPS
PAVE THE OFFER FOR THEIR FOR
THEMSELVES THE LOOKS AT THE IF
YOU STILL. APPEAR SIR HELLO I
THANK YOU MY TRINITY FOR THE
CONTRACTORS BOARD THANK YOU FOR
THAT QUESTION JUST SOME VERY
VERY QUICK BACKGROUND ON OUR
LICENSING STRUCTURE SO OUR
LICENSES ARE ACTUALLY ISSUED TO
THE ENTITY NOT THE INDIVIDUAL
SO WE DO ISSUE TO SOLVE
OWNERSHIPS CORPORATIONS LLCS
JOURNAL PARTNERSHIPS AND JOINT
VENTURES HOWEVER THE SOLE
OWNERSHIP ENTITY REALLY WORK
FOR ALL OF THESE ENTITIES WHAT
THAT TELLS YOU IT'S JUST. WHAT
PERCENTAGE OF OWNERSHIP THERE
IS BUT THERE'S AMPLE EVIDENCE
THAT A NUMBER OF SOLE OWNERS
HAVE- EMPLOYEES HAS BORNE OUT
IN OUR ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
ABOUT 70% OF OUR STOP WORK
ORDERS ISSUED ON ACTIVE JOB
SITES ARE TO THE SOLE OWNERS
WHO HAVE AN EXEMPTION ON FILE
AND 66% OF THE LEGAL ACTIONS-
THAT ARE TAKEN FOR A FAULT
EXEMPTION ARE TO SELL OWNERS
SO- WHILE THE BOARD IS
CERTAINLY COGNIZANT THAT THERE
MAY INDEED AND THERE LIKELY ARE
TRUE SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS OUT
THERE WAS TRULY SOLD ONE PERSON
OPERATIONS THE EVIDENCE BEARS
OUT THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER A
LARGE NUMBER OF. SOLE OWNERSHIP
ENTITIES THAT HAVE EMPLOYEES
AND THE OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE
DOESN'T TEND TO INDICATE
WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL HAVE
EMPLOYEES I HOPE THAT ANSWERS
THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE- THIS
BILL WILL REQUIRE LICENSES I
INDICATED TO YOU OUR TEAM.
WORKERS COMPENSATION INSURANCE
THANKS. SO I HEAR THAT THAT
THERE IS NO. EXCEPTIONS WHEN I
READ EVERY DAY EVERYBODY HAS TO
IT WHETHER A SOLE. OWNER NOT.
THANK YOU OF CENTER TO A- S.
YES THANK OU MEASURE I- WOULD
LIKE TO STAND IN SUPPORT SENATE
BILL TWO SIXTEEN WHEN I HEARD
NUMBERS THAT WOULD JUST BE
GIVEN AS TO WHAT THE LICENSING
BOARD. THE FACT THAT THAT SO
MANY EMPLOYEES THAT FEEL
CONFIDENT WHEN THEY WORK WITH
CONTRACTOR THAT THEY WILL BE
PROTECTED AND WE ALL KNOW THAT
DURING THIS PANDEMIC SO MANY
PEOPLE OF THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS
WORKING TO BUILD THEM IN OUR
ROADS AND WHATEVER THEY WERE
DOING- THEY WERE DOING IT WITH
A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE THAT GOD
FORBID SOMETHING HAPPENS THEIR
FAMILIES WOULD BE PROTECTED.
AND THE- INSURANCE WOULD BE
THERE FOR WORKMAN'S
COMPENSATION STATION THIS IS
JUST A SMALL FRY A FRAGMENT OF
THEIR SUPPORT AND TO FIND THAT
THERE ARE SO MANY- THAT ARE NOT
PROTECTED IF THIS IS OUR FIRST
STEP TO MAKE SURE WE EQUALIZE
IT WE LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD
SO WITH THAT I URGE THE AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU- CENTER ANY
MEMBERS ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. SEEING NONE SENATOR
DODD WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
THANK YOU SENATOR. DO WE HAVE A
MOTION ON SENATE BILL. TWO

YOU MISTER CHAIR. GOOD MORNING
MEMBERS AND COMMITTEE TODAY I
PRESENT SENATE BILL TWO SIXTY
THREE WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT
BILL THAT WILL HELP CORRECT THE
LONG HISTORY OF BIAS AGAINST
PEOPLE OF COLOR WHEN IT COMES
TO OWNING A HOME SB TWO SIXTY
THREE REPORTS REAL ESTATE
PROFESSIONALS TO TAKE IMPLICIT
BIAS TRAINING AS PART OF THEIR
CONTINUING EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS. THIS BILL
UNFORTUNATELY IS NECESSARY
BECAUSE THE HOMEOWNERSHIP GAP
FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR IN
CALIFORNIA IT'S NOT WHERE IT
NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERING THE
DIVERSITY OF OUR STATE EIGHT
TWENTY TWENTY REPORT BY THE
GREEN LINE INSTITUTE FOUND THAT
CALIFORNIA'S BLACK
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE IS 35% AND
LET YOU KNOW HOMEOWNERSHIP
SEPARATE IS 42% BOTH OF THESE
RATES ARE FAR LOWER THAN
CALIFORNIA'S OVERALL OVERALL
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE. WE CAN AND
MUST DO BETTER TO END THE BIAS
THAT IS CAUSING THIS
HOMEOWNERSHIP GAP FOR PEOPLE OF
COLOR THANKFULLY THERE IS
CONSENSUS ON THIS ISSUE THIS
BILL IS SPONSORED BY THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS AND THERE IS NO
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL. AND
TODAY THE PHONE TO TESTIFY HAVE
ANNA BUCK THE CALIFORNIA. OF
REALTORS. THANK YOU THANK YOU A

THE POWER TO CHANGE THE PROJECT

LIGHTS. AND BIAS IN THESE AREAS
CAN HAVE THE DISTURBING THE
FACT OF UNDERMINING CONFIDENCE
IN THESE SYSTEMS. AND IT'S BEEN
LIVING THE ACTIVE A HOME. CAN
ALSO HE SAID BACK DURING THE
PRE LIFE FOR THE VAST OF.
PURCHASING A HOME IS LARGEST
AND MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL
TRANSACTION THEY WILL EVER
MAKE. IT HAS THE POWER TO SET A
FAMILY ON A CORD TO CREATING
FINANCIAL SECURITY AND
GENERATIONAL WELL. AS AN
ORGANIZATION WE WANT TO DO ALL
THAT WE CAN TO ENSURE THAT THIS
PROCESS IS. AS FAIR AND
EXPERIENCE FROM BY AT THE
POSSIBLE WHAT IS OF COURSE
IMPOSSIBLE TO ELIMINATE
IMPLICIT BIAS. TRAINING COURSES
GIVE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
EXAMINE AND ADJUST THEIR
PATTERNS OF THINKING WITH THE
GOAL OF ELIMINATING BIAS. THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS PRICES JUST OVER TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND. OTHER STATE
APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED
TWENTY TWO THOUSAND REAL ESTATE
LICENSEES NOT ALL OF THESE
LICENSEES ARE REALTORS BUT WE
BELIEVE ALL REAL ESTATE
PROFESSIONALS- THE INTERACT.
WITH THE PUBLIC IN CONSUMERS-
SHOULD BENEFIT FROM THE
TRAINING AS AN ORGANIZATION WE
HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED
LEGISLATION THAT WILL ENHANCE
CONSUMER PROTECTION A REAL
ESTATE TRANSACTION. AND IN
RECENT TIMES WE ARE PROUD TO
SAY THAT IS ALSO INCLUDED FAIR
HOUSING INITIATIVES. IF YOU ARE

PRAYER I THINK THANK YOU AND US
ARE RUBIO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD- AND
THE CERTAINLY VERY SUPPORTIVE
AND- APPRECIATE THE LEADERSHIP
OF THE REALTORS I GUESS MY
QUESTION IS THAT- IS THERE
WHITE TWO HOURS- AND HAVE YOU
CONSIDERED INSTEAD OF TURN IT
IS AN OUTCOME MEASURE I THINK
IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE
HAVE PEOPLE DEVELOP A CERTAIN
LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OR AWARENESS
IS VERSUS A FIXED NUMBER OF
HOURS- FOR THE FOR THE-
REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE
ESTABLISHING. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SUGGESTION- YOU KNOW AND I
DEFINITELY THINK THIS YEAR
APPOINTMENT IN THIS PARTICULAR
BILL. UNLIKE OTHERS YOU KNOW IT
IS A TWO HOUR REQUIREMENT BUT
IT IS ALREADY IT'S FOLDED INTO
WHAT IT'S ALREADY REQUIRED FOR
REALTORS SO WE'RE NOT ADDING
EXTRA HOURS. AND AS I HEARD
EARLIER IN. YOUR TESTIMONY YOU
KNOW WE JUST WANT TO MAKE
PEOPLE AWARE AND THERE HAVE
BEEN REALLY AGREE JUST CASES IN
WHICH- EMAIL PEOPLE OF COLOR
HAVE TRIED TO GET IT OUT. LET'S
SAY AN ASSESSMENT ON THEIR HOME
AND THE OUTCOME IS DRAMATICALLY
DIFFERENT WHEN THEY GET WHITE
FRIENDS TO POSE. NOW IS SELLING
A HOME I MEAN IN ONE CASE ONE
HOME WAS APPRAISED AT HALF A
MILLION. DOLLARS HIGHER. THAN
WHAT THE BLACK COUPLE HAVE
RECEIVED WHEN THEY ARE
ENCOURAGED THAT THEIR WHITE.
FRIENDS TO POSE AS THE OWNERS
AND STAGE THE HOME WITH THEIR
FAMILY PICTURES OF WHITE
FAMILIES. HALF A MILLION MORE
CELL. IT IS NECESSARY AND THE
TWO HOURS IS FOLDED INTO THIS
ALREADY REQUIRED UP HOURS OF
TRAINING. SO IT JUST IS REALLY
ABOUT MAKING PEOPLE AWARE AND-
AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT START.
AS THAT- I- EIGHT AGAIN I
SUPPOSE FULLY SUPPORT WHAT
YOU'RE TO SHE AND SIR
APPRECIATE THAT- BUILDERS OF
CELLS ARE SPONSORS THIS BILL.
HI JUST USUALLY SUGGEST PEOPLE
LOOK AT OUTCOMES VERSUS. TAKING
UP TIME TO SOMEONE COULD SPEND
TWO HOURS AND NOT REALLY
UNDERSTAND THAT VERSUS SOMEONE
COULD ACTUALLY HOPEFULLY EVEN
SEE COMPETENCY SOME OTHERS AND
AT LAST TIME. AND SO WE'RE NOT
JUST TO HELP TIME BUT WITH
THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH US
REALLY HAPPY WITH THE BILL TO
PROTECT THANK YOU. THANK YOU
CAN I SURE JUST A LITTLE BIT TO
TALK ON TO THAT AND I DO
ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING BUT THE THERE IS
ACTIONABLE STEPS HERE AND- I
BELIEVE AS THE WITNESS
TESTIFIED FOR HIS ROLE PLAYING
AND JUST TO REALLY. HAVE AN
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT IS NOT
JUST SOMETHING THAT WE HEAR A
STUDENTS TO COME YOU KNOW WE
DON'T NECESSARILY. REALLY
UNDERSTAND THIS THERE'S REAL
PLAIN SOUL WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
OUTCOMES WE HELD TOGETHER
INFORMATION AND MAKE SURE THAT
WE UNDERSTAND. WHAT WE NEED TO
CHANGE IN THE FUTURE. THANK
CENTER BACK. CONTRA THE AUTHOR
FOR BILL WERE FIGHTING IMPLICIT
BIAS AT MANY LEVELS OF OUR
CULTURE AS WAS MENTIONED AT THE
BEGINNING THAT WE HAVE WE
TACKLE ANOTHER AREAS BUT IT'S
ESPECIALLY. FUN HARMFUL IN THIS
AREA IN ROB'S COMMITTEES COLORS
OF MUSIC COLOR THE MOST BASIC
NEED OF A SAFE PLACE TO LIVE.
IN MY OWN DISAGREED ON A NUMBER
OF. MEETINGS RECENTLY WERE JUST
COMING TO GRIPS AYE I'VE
LEARNED A LOT. ABOUT THE
HISTORY STRUCTURE RACISM AND IN
HOUSING AND MY COMMUNITIES- AND
THE- DAMAGES INFLICTED ON
PEOPLE OF COLOR NOT ONLY THE
RED LINE BUT- IT PREVENTED FROM
LIVING IN CERTAIN
NEIGHBOURHOODS HISTORICALLY.
BUT REALLY THAT DENIES A
GENERATIONAL WEALTH THAT
HOMEOWNERSHIP. BRINGS WHICH
BROADENS THE WHICH WIDENS THE
RACIAL ECONOMIC DIVIDE IN OUR
COUNTRY SO I THINK THIS IS A
STRONG STEP FORWARD. AND. I AM
IN STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
THANK YOU SENATOR CENTER JONES.
BERMAN I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL AND SIMILAR TO
SB FORTY EIGHT EARLIER I THINK
THE LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO SET A
REALLY HIGH BAR AND SHOW SOME
RESTRAINT WHEN WERE-
INTERFERING WITH THE DIFFERENT
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND HOW
THEY- ESTABLISH CONTINUING
EDUCATION. I CERTAINLY AGREE
WITH THE AUTHOR- HER CONCERNS
AND THAT THE STORY THAT SHE
SHARED THAT SHE SHARED WITH ME
PERSONALLY- IN IT AND THAT IS A
TROUBLESOME STORY- YOU KNOW
MAYBE APPRAISERS WE NEED TO BE
LOOKING AT AT THEIR CONTINUING
EDUCATION PROGRAM AS WELL. I DO
BELIEVE THAT- I HAVE A VERY
CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
THREE REALTOR ASSOCIATIONS IN
MY IN IN MY COUNTY IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY- THAT REPRESENT- A HUGE
NUMBER REALTORS. AND I THINK
YOU KNOW ALL THREE OF THEIR
BOARDS ARE- IT IS THERE'S A LOT
OF DIVERSITY ON ALL THREE OF
THOSE BOARDS THE- THE SPEAKER
AND SUPPORT OF THE- BILL
ACTUALLY REYES ONE OF MY
CONCERNS IS THERE'S- FOUR
HUNDRED TWENTY THOUSAND
LICENSEES. AND CALIFORNIA AND
LESS THAN HALF OF THOSE ARE
RECOGNIZED AS CAPITAL ARE
REALTORS. AND SO WE'RE
PROPOSING YOU KNOW SOMETHING
THAT. YOU KNOW THE PROCESS
ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THE
INDUSTRY- AND SO THAT THAT
RAISES CONCERN FOR ME ONE OF
THE OTHER CONCERNS AND I WOULD
IF THE AUTHOR WOULD MIND
SPEAKING TO THIS- THE ROLE PLAY
COMPONENT. YOU KNOW MOST OF THE
I THINK ALL OF THE REALTOR
CONTINUE EDUCATION NOW CAN BE
DONE ONLINE THROUGH THE GRE.
AND IS THAT CREATES- A UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCE OR DO A ROLE PLAY
SO IF THE SPEAKER WOULD. LIKE
TO EXPLAIN THAT I AM CURIOUS
ABOUT HOW THE ROLE PLAYED THING
WOULD WORK BUT UNFORTUNATELY I
CAN'T SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COMMENTS. AND I KNOW THAT IT
DOES YOU KNOW IMPACT ALL THE
LICENSEES BUT- I THINK I THE
CONVERSATIONS HAVE TO START I
JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT AND
THERE'S DOCUMENTATION SOMETIMES
WE DON'T EVEN REALIZE BECAUSE
IT'S NOT. SOMETHING THAT W CAN
WE THINK ABOUT SO I JUST WANTED
TO SHARE THAT CURRENTLY- THERE
IS A REPORT THAT CAME OUT THAT
SPEAKS TO THE HOMES. AND
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH SIMILAR
AMENITIES AND LOS ANGELES WERE
BLACK MAJORITY NEIGHBORHOODS
FOR SEVENTEEN POINT 1% LESS.
THEIR WORTH IS LESS 71% JUST
FOR BEING A BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS
IN THE BAY AREA. LOCATED IN
BLUE MUCH NEIGHBORHOOD IS
TWENTY SEVEN POINT ONE PERCENT.
LESS SO I KNOW THAT THESE ARE
NOT THINGS THAT WE TYPICALLY
THINK ABOUT IT BUT WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE DISPARITY IN AND
OUT OF THE PROPERTY VALUE JUST
BECAUSE IT'S A MINORITY
COMMUNITY. MY MINORITY OWNED
COMMUNITY. IT IS SOMETHING THAT
IT IS IT IS REALLY MIND
BOGGLING FOR ME PERSONALLY AS A
MINORITY. FEMALE AND MISTER
JONES AP SHARE COMMENT. BUT
IT'S A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS
TO HAPPEN AND I THINK THAT JUST
HAVING THIS KNOWLEDGE DOESN'T.
HURT BUT IT DOES HELP MOVING
FORWARD AND THEN I WILL HI
WELCOME TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU
AND SEE HOW I CAN MAKE IT
BETTER I'M OPEN TO THAT
CONVERSATION. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SEND A MAN. THANK YOU
SENATOR I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL- I THINK THE WHOLE POINT
OF IMPLICIT RACIAL BIAS. AND I
HAVE CONFESSED THIS IS NOT A
FIELD I'M SUPER FAMILIAR WITH
BUT I HAVE HAD COLLEAGUES IN
THE PAST WHO ARE LEADING
EXPERTS IN THIS AREA HI AND I
THINK THAT SOME OF THE ID HERE
IT'S IS THAT A SIMPLICITY IT'S
COMES FROM PEOPLE WHO. YOU KNOW
THESE ARE NOT THE KKK OR OPEN
RACISTS OF THE PASSER THERE
PEOPLE THAT ARE WE WOULD CALL
GOOD PEOPLE- THEY THEY THINK OF
THEMSELVES OF RACE NEUTRAL BUT
WE ALL HAVE RACIAL BIASES I
HAVE RACIAL BIASES EVERYONE IN
THIS ROOM HAS RACIAL BIASES.
AND I THINK THE WHOLE POINT OF
AN EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT IS
TO RECOGNIZE THAT NOW MANY OF
US MAY HAVE READ THAT STORY
ABOUT. THE BLACK COUPLE IN
MARIN. AND THEN IT GOT AN
APPRAISAL FOR THEIR HOME. ARE
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS LOW AND SO
THEY WENT OUT AND GOT A WHITE
FRIEND OF THEIRS TO POSE AS THE
HOME BUYER- THAT NEXT APPRAISAL
THEY HAD WITH THE WHITE THIS
PRINCIPLES AT HOME BUYER WAS
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
GREATER. HI THIS IS ONE OF MANY
EXAMPLES IN THIS ONE WAS VERY
STARKLY DOCUMENTED I IT WAS IN
THE NEWS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. BUT IF YOU ARE
PARTICULARLY UNDERREPRESENTED
MINORITY YOU ARE FACING THIS
TYPE OF IMPLICIT RACIAL BIAS
THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE AND AS
MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
ELOQUENTLY POINTED OUT
HOMEOWNERSHIP. IS SO IMPORTANT.
FOR BUILDING AT FOR. WEALTH AND
IT IS SO IMPORTANT AS A RESULT
THAT WE TRY TO DO ALL WE CAN TO
AND IMPLICIT RACIAL BIAS. IN
THIS REGARD AND SO I THINK THIS
IS A GREAT FIRST STEP I WOULD
ENCOURAGE ALL OF US TO THINK
ABOUT WHAT WE MIGHT DO GOING
FORWARD BECAUSE EDUCATION. IS
IMPORTANT BUT MAY NOT BE ENOUGH
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO LEARNING
MORE ABOUT WHAT WE AS A BODY
CAN DO BECAUSE- THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT. ASPECT OF. OUR
ECONOMIC WELL BEING IN THE
STATE. SIDE SUPPORT THIS BILL
INTENDED BEFORE THANK YOU MR.
THANK YOU SENATOR CENTER
ARCHULETA. YES THANK YOU MISTER.
I'D LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
SENATE BILL TWO SIXTY THREE
WILL OBVIOUSLY OPEN THE DOOR TO
REALITY. BECAUSE OF THE FACT
THAT. THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS IS A
PROFESSIONAL. ETHICAL
ASSOCIATION DEALING WITH-
PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE
AGENTS. WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. BUT
AGAIN AS- ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES
MENTIONED THERE'S FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND APPROXIMATELY
LICENSED. REAL ESTATE AGENTS
ACROSS THE STATE. BUT MAYBE
ONLY TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
OUR ACTUAL REALTORS. TO THE
REALTORS ASSOCIATION ARE
CONSTANTLY GIVING CONTINUING
EDUCATION CONTINUOUS TEACHINGS
AND GUIDING- OF FAIR PRACTICES
BUT THIS BILL. ADDRESSES THE
BLANKET ACROSS THE BOARD THAT
ALL. PEOPLE WITH REAL ESTATE
LICENSE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS
PRESIDENT BIASES THAT THEY MAY
CONTAIN. AT THE TREAT EVERYBODY
FAIRLY GIVEN EVERYONE THE EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY. SO SOMEONE CAN
CROSS THE LINE AND GO TO THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS PER SE
AND PARTICIPATE IN BETTER
SCHOOLS BETTER- EDUCATION FOR
THEIR KIDS OR BETTER SHOPPING
OR BETTER JOBS WHATEVER. AND
THAT WOULD JUST MELT TOGETHER
AS WE SHOULD AS AMERICANS IT
NOT LOOKING THAT ONE'S- SKIN
COLOR OR THEIR BACKGROUND OR
THE RELIGION OR WHATEVER. IN
WE'VE GOT TO OPEN UP THE STORE
IN THESE ADDITIONAL HOURS IF
THAT WILL HELP. BY ALL MEANS
LET'S DO IT THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. IS A
SAND YES- THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS TO SAY
YES AND I IS A LICENSED REAL
ESTATE BROKER AND A MEMBER OF
THE BOARD OF REALTORS I TO SAY
YES. SO I AGREE AS B. TWO SIXTY
THREE SHOULD BE ACCEPTED. AND I
HOLD PROBABLY HARD TO THE
SUPPORT. THANK YOU MR. THANK
YOU SENATOR MEMBERS ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS. OR COMMENTS OF THE
AUTHOR. SEEING THAT. THURMOND
AS SORRY. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
SIR WE HAVE. HAD A LOT OF
DISCUSSION ABOUT- THE APPRAISAL
OF HOMES AND THERE'S HOMES
COMING IN- THE VALUE COMING IN
LOWER THAN WHAT IT WOULD
COMMAND IF A WHITE COUPLE WERE
SHOWING THE HOME AND WHAT I'M
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IS THIS
BILL RELATES TO- REAL ESTATE
AGENTS BUT. THIS DOESN'T
COVERED THOSE WHO DO APPRAISALS
OF HOMES RATE. SO IF THAT'S-
WHAT WE'RE FOCUSING ON. IT
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE IT ADDRESSES-
WHERE IN A PART OF THAT PROBLEM
IS GENERATING FIRM. CAN YOU
SPEAK TO THEM HELLO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR COMMENT AND I AND THAT
ONLY JUST INDICATES HOW
WIDESPREAD THIS THIS ISSUE AS
AND WE HAVE TO TACKLE THIS
ISSUE FROM ALL ANGLES WHEN I
SHARED SOME OF THE DATA ALREADY
HERE IN TERMS OF YOU KNOW THE
VALUE OF HOMES AND AS WE SHARED
SOMEBODY AND THERE IS A LOT OF
EXAMPLES ON THE BOOKS IN TERMS
OF REALTORS APPRAISERS. THIS IS
ONE ISSUE BUT YOU'RE RIGHT AND
I HOPE TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE
FUTURE TO TACKLE THE APPRAISER
SIDE OF THE ISSUE BYE DAD THANK
YOU FOR POINTING THAT OUT I
THINK THAT JUSTICE IN
PARTICULAR GIVEN THE HISTORICAL
AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF THOSE
BIASES IT'S JUST INFORMATIVE
AND I THINK AS I STATED EARLIER
HE JUST HELPED EVERYONE START
THINKING ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND
JUST RECOGNIZING YOUR OWN
BIASES SO- I APPRECIATE YOUR
COMMENTS AND- THANK YOU. SERMON
I AND I THINK THAT LAST
QUESTION WAS RAISED BY ONE OF
MY COMMENTS AND SO I JUST
WANTED TO QUICKLY ADDRESS THAT.
OF COURSE THIS BILL REFERS TO
REALTORS AND NOT APPRAISERS-
BUT I GAVE THAT EXAMPLE AS AN
EXAMPLE OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH
IMPLICIT BIAS- IS RAMPANT THE
REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS AT THE
STATE. THANK MISTER. THANK YOU
I SEE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS- CENTER RUBIO WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE YES THANK YOU
FARE AND WOULD JUST WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR
COMMENTS THOSE THAT ARE
SUPPORTIVE AND THOSE THAT HAVE

EGGMAN. THANK YOU JUST A
COMMENTED THANK MY COLLEAGUES
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND
I'M GLAD TO BE A CO AUTHOR ON
THIS. WORKING IN THE END OF
LIFE THAT FIELD WITH CERTAINLY
SEE FIRSTHAND THE- STRUGGLES
PEOPLE HAVE TO PURCHASE
MEDICATIONS AWAY FROM
MEDICATION TO PAY FOR
MEDICATIONS. AND SO MANY OF
THEM BEING DISPOSED OF LIFE BY
FOLKS WHO DON'T NEED THEM
ANYMORE SO THIS IS A GOOD
COMMONSENSE SOLUTION WE NEED
THAT SYSTEM SET UP. SO IT'S
EASY FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE THEIR UNUSED
MEDICATIONS FOR OTHER SINCE IT
IS A GREAT BILL AND I WOULD
MAKE THE MOTION TO MOVE THE

IS. THANK YOU SENATOR
SENATE-ROOM. AT DAVIS JACK I
WOULD TO COMMEND THE AUTHOR IN
THE SPONSORS OF THIS BILL THIS
IS A CREATIVE INNOVATIVE
SOLUTION TO AREAL PROBLEM FOR
FAMILIES AND SO- I WILL I WILL
SUPPORT THE BILL I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK ME AND IS A CO
AUTHOR AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE
OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU. ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
MEMBERS SACRAMENTO. I ALSO WANT
TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES FOR
BRINGING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE
TO THE SENATE- THIS BILL
REMOVES BARRIERS TO LIFE SAVING
MEDICATION WHICH WE KNOW IS ONE
OF THE LARGEST ISSUES IN
MEDICINE IN THIS COUNTRY BUT I
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE CENTRAL
ISSUE AT HAND. ASCRIPTION DRUG
PRICES THE UNITED STATES ARE
MORE THAN TWICE AS HIGH AS IN
OTHER COUNTRIES AND
PRESCRIPTION DRUG EXPENDITURES
ALONE ACCOUNT FOR SEVENTEEN
PERCENT. OF THE OVERALL COST OF
HEALTHCARE IN THE UNITED
STATES. 30% OF AMERICANS WHO
CURRENTLY HAVE PRESCRIPTION
MEDICINE SAY THEY HAVE SEEN
INCREASES IN OUT OF POCKET
COSTS. AND OBVIOUSLY THIS
FINANCIAL BURDEN IS ONLY
INTENSIFIED FOR CANCER PATIENTS
AS THE AUTHOR NOTES. ARE CANCER
PATIENTS DECLARE BANKRUPTCY AT
HIGHER RATES THAN OTHERS. AND
ARE SUBJECTED TO IT AMAZING AND
HORRENDOUS FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS-
THIS ABUSE WILL CONTINUE. UNTIL
WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE SO THIS
IS A GREAT START I APPRECIATE
THE INGENUITY BEHIND THIS- BUT
NO ONE IN THIS COUNTRY SHOULD
GO BANKRUPT. OR FACE THE
POSSIBILITY OF DEATH BECAUSE
THEY LACK HEALTH INSURANCE AND
I THINK WE NEED TO MOVE IN THAT
DIRECTION. HI SIR THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS I INTEND TO VOTE
I'D THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THANK YOU CENTER ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. SEEING
NONE. THE BILL HAS BEEN- WELL
CENTER RUBIO WHICH LIKE CLOSE
THANK YOU MISTER TURN THINKING
TOM MY COLLEAGUES HAVE JOINED
THE WHO HAVE JOINED ME AND AN
AUTHORSHIP AND NOT JUST ONE
ALSO- JUST SAY THAT THAT THIS
MEASURE IS VERY NARROW BUT IT'S
RELIEF WITH THE HI FOCUS ON
SAFETY AND A SOMEONE JUST CURRY
STATED IT REMOVES BARRIERS AND
IT SAVES LIVES AND TRAGICALLY
PATIENTS HAVE DIED BECAUSE THEY
CAN'T AFFORD THE MEDICATION OR
DO NOT GET IT IN A TIMELY
MANNER AND SO THIS PROGRAM IS
NOT NEW. IT'S BEEN TRIED IN
OTHER STATES SUCCESSFULLY AND
WE JUST WANT CALIFORNIA TO
CATCH UP IN THIS VERY IMPORTANT
STAFF AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR RIFLE THANK YOU. THANK
YOU THE BILL HAS BEN MOVED BY
SENATOR EGGMAN THE MOTION IS TO
PASS TO JUDICIARY. PLEASE CALL

GENERAL SUPERVISION WHAT DOES
NOT MEAN THE PRESENCE OF THE
RADIOLOGY WHICH IS VERY
DANGEROUS- ULTIMATE WE-
QUESTIONED THE NECESSITY OF
CREATING THIS. NEW CATEGORY OF
HEALTHCARE WORKERS. AND ARE
CONCERNED THAT THE INTRODUCTION
OF A NEW TYPE OF PRACTITIONER
WILL LEAD TO MORE RIGHT MANY.
AIR FOR RADIO STATION. BOTH
POSITION ASSISTANCE AND NURSE
PRACTITIONERS CAN FUNCTION IN
RADIOLOGY- NON POSITION ACTIVE.
THE INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY
NURSE PRACTITIONER IS A
MASTER'S PREPARED PROVIDER THAT
COMPLEMENTS THE ROLE OF THE
READY OUT IT. THROUGH THE
APPLICATION OF IT AND THIS
TECHNICAL SKILLS THE CUTE CARE
AND AMBULATORY CARE SAID. IN
ADDITION TO POSITION ASSISTANT
AT S. PRACTITIONERS. CERTIFIED
RADIOLOGY MISSION REFORM
SPECIFIED OR I'M SORRY SUPPORT
OF SERVICES UNDER THE
SUPERVISION OF RADIOLOGISTS BUT
THERE ARE NUMBER OF EXISTING
ROLES AND PRACTICE OR THE BILL
THE SUPPORT RADIOLOGIST WE NEED.
ALSO SOME HAVE ASSERTED. BY THE
CAREER LADDER FOR RADIOLOGY
WILL BE ALLOWED THE TECHNICIAN.
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE BILL
REQUIRE IN OUR A TO ALL WILL BE
A RADIOLOGICAL. THIS BILL WOULD
POTENTIALLY UNDERMINE THE
EMPLOYABILITY APART. WISH TO GO
ON TO BECOME AN RA BECAUSE
THERE WOULD BE LITTLE IN A BOY
BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. TO SOME
CIRCUMVENT THE FOR- FRAGMENTS
IN THE CONTINUUM OF CARE FOR
PATIENTS OFF MEDICATIONS.
RESPECT WITHOUT FOR YOUR NOBLE
TODAY. THANK YOU NEXT. SURE NO
ONE ELSE IS QUEUED UP TO SPEAK
I'M GOING TO A PROMPT AGAIN IF
YOU HAVE JOINED THIS CONFERENCE
CALL THIS COMMITTEE MEETING BY
ZOOM A EUROPE TALK BAR IS OPEN
DOOR IMPACTING THIS MEETING.
SLURRY WERE YOU CHECKING TO SEE
IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION THAT
WE'VE NOT HEARD FROM. IF NOT
PLEASE DO. IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK
IN OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE
ENTER AT THIS TIME. NO ONE
OUGHT TO SIGNAL IF THEY WISH TO
SPEAK MISTER CHAIR THANK YOU MR
MODERATOR LET'S NOT BRING IT
BACK TO- THE CHAMBER AND MY
COLLEAGUES FOR QUESTIONS. OR
COMMENTS. ADDUCT PAN. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- THE I GUESS THE
QUESTION FOR- THAT'S ACTUALLY
ME WHEN ASKED HERE- SUPPORTERS
TO EXPLAIN. SO FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND WE HAVE THE RESEARCH
TECHNOLOGISTS AND WE HAVE THE-
THE RATE THE RADIOLOGY
ASSISTANCE BUT NOT. THE LEAST
THAT I CAN TELL FROM THE
TESTIMONY ANALYSIS IS ACTUALLY.
WHAT IS WHAT CAN THE ASSISTANCE
TO THAT THE TECHNOLOGIST CANNOT
SO WHAT IS THE DISTINGUISHING
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE
ASSISTANCE SO WE HEAR THAT YOU
KNOW THE SUBSISTENCE AND MORE
ADVANCED VERSION OF THE
TECHNOLOGIST. AND OF COURSE
CERTAINLY IS A POSITION I
UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE NO NEW
DANCES AND SORT OF IMAGING AND
SO FORTH. BUT CAN WE CLARIFY
AND THOSE SORT OF FLY BY THE
OPPOSITION WHAT IS THE
ASSISTANT DOING THAT THE
TECHNOLOGIST CANNOT THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO CLEAR. THAT TO DO
THE- AT- THE DOES THIS BILL
STRANGE ADDRESS IN TERMS OF-
TRYING TO PROTECT. THE- THE
NAME SO. THANK YOU SENATOR FOR
THE QUESTION A REFER TO MY-
EXPERTS YES. FOR EXAMPLE THE
FOR EXAMPLE DOCTOR CANOPY
RADIOLOGICAL FIFTEEN- WINNER
THIRTY CAN CAN HELP. THE IN
BETWEEN IN WHICH THE PATTERN
BUT THIRTY WILL GO- I WAS THE
FIRST TO BOB. B. LEGISLATION
VERY CLEAR WE GET THIS. I TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE WENT TO THE
DOCTOR THE THEY WERE GOING TO
OPPOSITION. AND WE'RE WORK
CLOSELY WITH THE RADIO. AT AT
IF YOU COULD AND THAT'S WHY DO
WE- THAT THEY WERE BROUGHT ON
BOARD BUT. OUR LADY WORK 50%
SENATE ROTH ABOUTWOULD HAVE
RESPOND. PERCY SO HERE LIKE THE
BALLOT JUST IS LICENSED UNDER A
LOT OF READY USING QUICKBOOKS-
THEY ARE NOT REALLY YOU KNOW
WHAT IT SCOPE OF TO DO ANY
OTHER- THERE'S A COUPLE PAY.
DISCUSS EXAMINATIONS. OF
PERFORMANCE OF. ANY
INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES SO
THE ARE A IS A BAND PRACTICE
FOR THE SKILL SETS ARE TAUGHT.
AND- EXPERIENCE WITH CLINICAL
PRECEPTOR SHIP. DAHLE REALLY
BROADENS WHAT IN ARE A CAN TO
TERMS OF REPLACING THE
RADIOLOGISTS FUNCTION. SO
THEY'RE MORE AKIN TO A RESPECT
FOR THE A SPECIFIC TO RADIOLOGY.
OKAY AND JUST TO CLARIFY
BECAUSE THE OPPOSITION SAID
THAT WITH THE R. EIGHT V. DOING
ADDITIONAL PROCEDURES LIKE
ADMINISTERING MEDICATION OR
OTHER TYPES OF THINGS ARE NOT.
I DON'T BELIEVE THEIR MINISTRY.
MEDICATION THERE IS A- IS A
LIST OF SERVICES THAT ARE PART
OF THIS NATIONAL OCCASIONALLY
RIGHT TO YOU. BUT IT IS VERY
CONTRAST MEDIA IS SOMETHING
THAT ARE HE COULD YOU CAN
ALREADY WOULD DO AS WELL BUT
THERE ARE MINOR CONVICTION
PROCEDURES THAT ARE IS TRYING
TO TEACH. OKAY- THEY'RE NOT
PRESCRIBING. OKAY THEY'RE NOT
INVESTORS CLARIFIED THAT THEY
ARE NOT FIGHTING MEDICAL. OKAY
BY NO THAT'S VERY HELPFUL I
THINK COULD BE GOOD TO HAVE
CLARITY ON THAT- CERTAINLY
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'D WANT TO.
HAVE BE SURE PEOPLE ACTUALLY
IDENTIFYING THEMSELVES AND THAT
WE DON'T- THE SEARCH FOR
PATIENTS AND SO FORTH- IT'D BE
HELPFUL TO HAVE SOME MORE
CLARITY BUT I THINK THIS IS
CERTAINLY. IMPORTANT TO
CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD AND-
APPRECIATE THE ANSWERS THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SENTIMENT. THANK
YOU MR SO AND CONTINUING ALONG
THE LINES OF CENTER PANIC AS
I'M A LAYMAN- AND SO. YES MY
QUESTION IS A LIMIT. THAT BY
INTRODUCING A NEW STATUTORY
SCOPE OF PRACTICE I'M STILL
UNCLEAR WHAT EXACTLY WHAT
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WE'RE TRYING
TO SOLVE A PARTICULAR IN THIS
CASE WITH REGARD TO EITHER
QUALITY OF CARE OR COST OF CARE
DESPITE AYE I'VE MISSED IT- AND
I APOLOGIZE- IF IT'S BEEN CLEAR
TO THEM. ROTHA BY MAPPING
RESPOND AS WELL. PLEASE YES
PLEASE DO SURRENDER WHAT THANK
YOU FOR NEWMAN AT AN EXCELLENT
SO- THIS IS WHY PRESTON AND
BALAJI HAS BEEN ENHANCED. BURKE
IMAGES THAT RADIO HAS TO. IT A
SECURE THAT EXPEDITION CREATES.
THEY ARE CURRENTLY USED. TIMES
STAFF LIKE A P. A R. AND HE
DOES. BUT WHAT ARE EAGER IS
THAT BACK IN RADIO SAFE AND THE
BACKGROUND IS A RETAIL.
TECHNOLOGISTS THE REALLY
ENHANCES THE LEVEL OF
ASSISTANCE TO GET BY. AND THEIR
ADVANCED TRAINING CERTAIN THE
KRIMS ON LOMA LINDA AS OUR
PROGRAM FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS.
AND UNFORTUNATELY OUR REYES
THAT COME FROM THAT PROGRAM.
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO PRACTICE THE FULLEST
OF THEIR TRAINING SO WITH THIS
BILL ALLOWS. THE RADIOLOGIST TO
CORPORATE IMAGE THEIR PRACTICE.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT BUT I
THINK AT LEAST. ONE OF THE-
SOMETHING'S FALLING HERE SO ONE
OF THE PREMISES BILL IS THAT
THIS WOULD PRECLUDE.
PROFESSIONALS WHO UP TO NOW
HAVE HAD A ROLE IN THE
CONTINUED CARE OF DOING SO IN
THE FUTURE UNDER THIS NEW
STATUTES. SURGICAL EXPLAINED IS
THAT THERE IS. NOT CLEAR TO ME
WHETHER THERE'S A NET BENEFIT
TO THAT- AND SO STILL NOT A
100% CLEAR SO IF YOU COULD SHED
A LITTLE MORE LIGHT ON THAT ARE
GONNA BE GRATEFUL. IT DOESN'T
IT DOES NOT PRECLUDE. THOSE WHO
ARE DOING WHAT THEY DO NOW.
WHAT IT ALLOWS THEY ALLOW IT
THIRTY OTHER STATES. IS THAT
THE R. HAYES WILL BE ABLE TO
WORK. IN A MORE ADVANCED WAY
WITH THE RADIOLOGIST IN TERMS
OF THE SYSTEM IT'S NOT BEING
DONE IN CALIFORNIA PARKING
PLACE AND THIS ALLOWS IT TO BE
DONE- AND OVER. OVERWHELMED
RADIOLOGIC PRACTICE BE ABLE TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A THIRTY
OTHER STATES THAT THE BANDS OF
JOBS AND HAVE A RADIOLOGIC
ASSISTANT. M- IN THEIR IN THEIR
JOB AND ALLOW THEM TO FOCUS AND
CONCENTRATE. THE MOTOR
RADIOLOGY SHOULD BE FOCUSING
AND CONCENTRATING ON. THANK YOU
MR IS THE DISPLACEMENT. YOU
KNOW HOW DO I CHANGE YOU KNOW
ONE R. EIGHT CANADAPART OF
DEBATE WE HAVE THIRTY ARE KEY.
THOSE ARE KEYS COULD YOU TO AS
A HAVE. MISPLACE OF. THANKS
MISTER THANK YOU- SENATORS
CENTER MAN. I WANTED TO JUST
FOLLOW UP ON CENTER NEWMAN'S
FINAL QUESTIONING- I ALSO THE
LAY PERSON I'M NEW TO THIS
COMMITTEE- AND I GUESS WHEN I
THINK OF OCCUPATIONAL BARRIERS
TO ENTRY- MY DISPOSITION ESTATE
GENERALLY NOT FAVOR THESE
UNLESS THERE'S SOME STRONG
REASON TO DO THAT. IN SO I
GUESS I'M I'M TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND THE COST BENEFIT
RATIONALE THIS I CAN UNDERSTAND
SOME OF THE COST POTENTIALLY A
I ASSUME THIS WOULD DRIVE UP
MEDICAL COSTS- IT MIGHT LEAD TO
SHORTAGES IN THE NUMBER OF OUR
IS WE HAVE. A BUT WHAT I'M-HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING IS
WHAT THE BENEFITS ARE I GET THE
ARGUMENTS FROM RIGHT WANT THIS
BUT I HAVE THERE BEEN ANY
ATTEMPTS TO QUANTIFY OR EVEN
PROVIDE QUALITATIVE MEASURES OF
WHAT THE BENEFITS OF THIS WOULD
BE FOR- MEDICAL QUALITY OF CARE
FOR PATIENTS FOR TAXPAYERS FOR
ANYONE ELSE- I I'D BE VERY
INTERESTED TO HEAR THAT. THANK
YOU. SO SOUTHERN METHODIST
SPONGEBOB ACKERMAN AGAIN SO. I
DON'T THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE TO
BE THIS IS DRIVING UP THE COST
OF CARE BECAUSE THE PERSON WE
DISPLAY CERTAIN HERBS WORK
QUICKLY ALEX. WHICH A PROBABLY
MORE EXPENSIVE COST HERE AND
ALL RIGHT. PLEASE EXPENSIVE SO
IT MAKE IT. RAILTRACK'S
CORPORATIONS DOESN'T RESEARCH
THE COST FOR THIS PURPOSE AND
OF BUILDING A RE. WE ALLOW THE
R. EIGHT PROVIDE OUR BUNCH OF
THE RADIOLOGIST AND DIRECTOR OR
ACTION AN ASSESSMENT THINGS
THAT ARE ARE KEEPING BE. HAVE
THEIR BEEN ANY STUDIES OR
RESEARCH HAS TAKEN A ANYTHING
YOU CAN POINT TO IT I JUST BE
CURIOUS AGAIN ONE OF THE
BENEFITS. FROM JUST FROM A PURE
QUANTITATIVE PERSPECTIVE WITH
THIS PROVIDES LIKE. YOUR TOWN I
THINK THAT'S A GOOD ARGUMENT
THAT ARE REYES WOULD LOWER THE
PROSPECT BUT HAS ANYONE ELSE AT
THIS. FINALLY VANGUARD. FOR BUT
I GOT IT RIGHT LOOK FOR A STUDY
BUT REALLY THAT COLLABORATION
HEARD OVER THE LAST TWENTY
YEARS BETWEEN ONE PM ET
OURSELVES THE BILL'S BENEFIT IN
TERMS OF PRODUCTIVITY AND
EFFICIENCY- AND I'D BE HAPPY TO
TRY TO FIND YOU SOMETHING TO
THE EXTENT THAT WILL HAVE TO
FIGURE TIPS BUT- THE- BEEN DONE.
IN MANY OTHER STATES HER. MANY
YEARS. WITHOUT WE WELCOME DATA
COST PERSPECTIVE. THANK YOU TO
BE VERY INTERESTED IN THAT ANY
DATA THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR. A CENTER JONES. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN I AT EIGHT
CENTER MEN'S CONCERNS ABOUT THE
BARRIERS TO ENTRY I SHARE THAT
pMY CONCERNS ON THE CONTINUING
EDUCATION EARLIER AND THE IN
THE LEGISLATURE INSERTING OUR
INFLUENCE INTO THESE MATTERS-
YOU KNOW I THE LEGISLATURE EVEN
I TAKE A MORE RESTRAINED
POSTURE- IN THESE TYPES OF
ISSUES WHEN IT COMES TO TITLE
PROTECTION AND EVENTUALLY
EVENTUALLY LEADS TO LICENSING
CALIFORNIA HAS THE HIGHEST
NUMBER OF LICENSED PROFESSIONS
IN THE COUNTRY. AND IS THAT
JUST UNDERSCORES YOU KNOW MY-PERSPECTIVE THAT WE NEED TO BE
VERY VERY THOUGHTFUL AND SET A
HIGH HURDLE- ON THESE TYPES OF
ISSUES GOING FORWARD IN
LICENSING OR- TITLE RECOGNIZING
EVEN MORE PROFESSIONS THERE'S
NOTHING IN CURRENT LAW THAT WE
ARE EXEMPTS SOMEBODY FROM
CALLING THEMSELVES A-
RADIOLOGICAL AS- ASSISTANT- SO
I CAN SHARE THE CONCERN OF WHAT
PROBLEM ARE WE TRYING TO SOLVE.
BUT WITH ALL THAT SAID- EVEN IF
HIS DID- RISE TO THE LEVEL AND
JUMP THE HURDLE OF. BEING
NECESSARY REQUIRED. FOR
CALIFORNIA THE PENALTY ALONE IN
THIS BILL. REALLY CAUSES SOME
CONCERN THAT WE'RE GOING TO
JAIL PEOPLE. FOR VIOLATING THIS
POLICY OR FIND THEM UP TO FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS WHILE THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS. LEADING
OTHER. MORE EGREGIOUS.
CRIMINALS OUT OF JAIL- I'M I'M
REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THAT
PENALTY PROVISION OF THE BILL
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. THANK
YOU SENATOR COLLEAGUES ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
CENTER MELINDA'S. I THINK YOU
MISTER CHARGES HAVE A QUESTION
FOR THE BILL AUTHOR BECAUSE AS-
AS- COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS CAME
OUT NOW I'M A LITTLE MORE
CONFUSED IS THE GOAL OF THE
BILL TO. REMOVE LIMITATIONS ON
THE SCOPE OF PRACTICE FOR THESE
INDIVIDUALS IS THAT THE GOAL OF
THE BILL. OTHER THAN YOU KNOW
THAT THE TITLE ISSUE THAT WE
HAVE HERE. IF YOU RECALL WHEN
MY MADE MY PRESENTATION I
TALKED ABOUT THE SAFETY. OF AND
AT HIGH LEVEL OF SAFETY WHEN IT
COMES TO RADIATION. AND THE
FACT THAT- SOMEONE WOULD HAVE
THE SPECIALTY AS A RADIOLOGIST
SYSTEM TO PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT AT THE HOSPITAL TO
PROTECT THE RADIOLOGIST AND THE
PATIENT- TO BE CERTIFIED TO DO
THAT EDUCATED TO DO THAT BUT
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH. AND IT AND SOMEONE
WHO IS CALLING THEMSELVES THAT
RADIOLOGIST ASSISTANT WHICH IS
NOT TRAINED NOT AUTHORIZED
THAT'S WHERE THE PENALTY COMES
IN. BECAUSE WE HAVE TO PROTECT
THE CONSUMERS IN THIS OPENS THE
DOOR TO THAT AND- THE DIAGNOSIS
THAT I MENTIONED THE
RADIOLOGISTS- SITTING WITH THE
PATIENT AND THE DOCTORS- THAT
IS IN THE REALM OF THE OF THE
RADIOLOGIST BUT THE SYSTEM. IS
TO DO HIS OR HER JOB TO PROTECT
THE ENVIRONMENT AND TO MAKE
SURE THAT ANYONE WHO CALLS
THEMSELVES A RADIOLOGIST
ASSISTANT. HAS IT HERE TO THE
LAW ON THE PRACTICE AND THAT'S
WHY THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATION
IS WORKING IN THAT SAME
DIRECTION AS WE ARE. TO ALLOW
THEM TO COME IN AND PROTECT OUR
VETERANS AND EVERYONE ELSE SO
WE WILL TAKE ANY AMENDMENTS IN
THE FUTURE I'D LIKE TO SEE THIS
BILL GO FORWARD. SO THEN WE CAN
MAKE SURE THE CONSUMER IS WELL
PROTECTED. THANK THANK YOU
CENTER CENTER EGGMAN. THANK
YOU- YEAH I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH
A LOT OF- MEDICAL TECHS AT FORT
SAM HOUSTON WHEN I WAS GETTING
MY MEDICAL TRAINING AT AS FAR
AS I KNOW THAT THE MILITARY HAS
NOT THAT QUANTIFY. THE
PROTECTION THAT YOU COULDN'T
NAME YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT
OTHERS CAN'T- AND I GUESS I
KNOW I'M OFFER TRAVEL
PROTECTION BUT I JUST DON'T
NOW THAT WE NEED TO BE.
CREATING NEW ONES RIGHT NOW WE
KNOW THERE'S A DEARTH OF
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
PROFESSIONALS AND A LOT OF
TIMES PEOPLE NEED TO HELP OUT
AND THINGS LIKE THIS. AND I
GUESS JUST AS AN ASIDE TO THIS
COMMITTEE CAN HEAR THAT BECAUSE
PEOPLE MAY NOT KNOW THAT THERE
IS NO TITLE PROTECTION FOR
SOCIAL WORKERS RIGHT A MASTER'S
DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK PEOPLE A
BACHELOR'S DEGREE PHD BUT THERE
IS NO TITLE PROTECTION IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW.
TRIED BEFORE ALL TRY AGAIN
BEFORE WE'RE DONE HERE BUT IT
SEEMS TO ME OF SOMEBODY WITH A
MASTER'S DEGREE IN A PROFESSION
DOES NOT HAVE THE PROTECTION TO
CALL THEMSELVES A SOCIAL WORKER
AND NOT TO HAVE ANYBODY ELSE
WHO MIGHT HAVE A JOB WITH THE
TITLE OF SOCIAL WORKER CALL
THEMSELVES AT. THAT I DON'T
KNOW THAT WE NEED TO BE
CREATING HOLDING OUT CATEGORIES
AT THIS TIME DURING A PANDEMIC
FOR A RADIOLOGIST ASSISTANT
BURST A TECHNOLOGIST THOSE ARE
MY CONCERNS. THANK. YOU CENTER
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS-
MISTER CHAIRMAN WE ADDRESS THAT
QUICKLY. YES PLEASE. NOW
APPROPRIATE TIME PEOPLE'S
WORKERS HOWEVER ARE STILL ALLOW.
PRACTICE OF THE FULLNESS OF
THEIR PER WHAT THIS DOES IS
WHAT IT ALLOWS YOU AND WHAT
YEAR'S AT THIS WE WERE GOING TO
DO MY JOB. AND THEN OUT NOT DO
LIFE INSURER TO DIG VITAL
PROTECTION AND THAT. BECAUSE
BUT BELIEF IS THAT BY
RECOGNIZING. YOU CAN. THEY CAN
DO WHAT THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO
DO NOW BUT OFFERING WHICH IS TO
BE RECOGNIZED AS THEY ARE BUT
THE OTHER STATES. TO ASSIST
RADIOLOGY. ON THOSE TASKED WITH
WHICH THEY ARE SPECIFICALLY
QUALIFIED FRAME. AND ALLOW
THOSE RADIO. GREAT ON OTHER
RESPONSIBLE. IT WILL MAKE IT
WILL MAKE THEIR POCKETBOOK.
EIGHT EIGHT MORE OPPOSITION AND
ALLOW HIGHER MEDICAL DOCTORS.
THE FOCUS AND CONCENTRATE ON
WHAT THEY- AND THEY WORK ONLY
ONLY. THE SUPERVISION HELLO
RADIOLOGIST. THANK YOU LET ME
ASK IF I SEE NO OTHER MIKES UP
LET ME ASK A COUPLE QUESTIONS-
I I'M OBVIOUSLY- I TRY TO BE
SUPPORTIVE OF BILLS MOVING
THROUGH THIS COMMITTEE. I'M
CONCERNED THAT HAVE BEEN N A
VARIETY OF WAYS OVER A VARIETY
OF YEARS WITH BARRIERS TO
EMPLOYMENT THAT WE- PUT UP HERE
IN THE LEGISLATURE AND
PARTICULARLY HERE GIVEN THE
DEMOGRAPHIC THAT WE'RE ON
DEADLY DEALING WITH. SO WHAT'S
THE COST OF THIS TRAINING IN
THE COST OF THIS EXAMINATION-
THAT ARE APPARENTLY REQUIRED IN
ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS REALLY
REALLY. RADIOLOGICAL ASSISTANT-
DESIGNATION AND TITLE. I DON'T
KNOW THE SPECIFIC COST OF THE
TEST. BUT I WILL TAKE IN TERMS
OF BARRIERS. NOBODY WHO'S
WORKING ON THE JOB THEY WANT TO
RIGHT NOW AS A TECHNOLOGIST IS
IN. IF AN INDIVIDUAL WANTS TO
BE A RADIOLOGIC ASSERTS. SO
WHAT'S THE COST OF THE AS SOON
AS TRAINING THAT'S REQUIRED AND
PRIOR TO AN EXAM. WHAT'S THE
COST OF THAT. GENERAL BOB
ACKERMAN I IT CERTAINLY THEY
DON'T KNOW SOMEONE OR MULTIPLE
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE A TWO YEAR
PROGRAM GLOBAL OFF BEFORE IT
GETS CLOSED FOR YOU NOT FOR
MUCH. SO IT'S A TWO BEDROOM
MULLIN IS A PER PRO SO IT'S A
TWO YEAR PRIVATE. THERE IS
OFTEN ELSEWHERE BUT THAT BROKE
THE PROPERTY CALIFORNIA. SO
WHAT'S THE DRIVING AND IN MOST
CASES. SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
IN THE AVERAGE PAY RATE BETWEEN
A- RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGIST OR
TECHNICIAN AND A RADIOLOGICAL
ASSISTANT. AGAIN I CAN'T GIVE
YOU A SPECIFIC NUMBER BUT OUR
KEYS ARE FAIRLY WELL
COMPETITION IN CALIFORNIA I
WOULD STAY BETWEEN NINETY AND A
HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR. AND I THINK
IT'S AN ADVANCED LEVEL R. A.
YOU BE. AS THAT PICKED UP ON
THE VALUE DIFFERENT BRACKET.
BUT THOSE ARE NOT EMPLOYED IN
CALIFORNIA. WHAT'S PURPOSES NOW
I CAN'T GIVE YOU A- OR SALARY
RANGER OR BORDER CROSSINGS.
WELL I'LL GET TO THE BOTTOM
LINE BECAUSE THIS IS THIS WILL
TELL YOU WHERE I'M COMING FROM
AND SHOULD THIS BILL MOVE OUT
OF THIS COMMITTEE I CERTAINLY
WANT SOMEBODY TO THINK ABOUT
THISAND MY BASIC QUESTION IS
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PARTIES
THAT ARE OUT THERE WORKING IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. ONE
AND TWO. ARE YOU SENATOR ARE
YOU CONCERNED. ABOUT CREATING
ORPHANS OUT OF THIS EXISTING.
CADRE OF. RADIOLOGIC
TECHNOLOGISTS AND TECHNICIANS
ARE EMPLOYED IN WORKPLACES ALL
UP AND DOWN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THOSE ARE TWO
QUESTIONS AND THE REASON FOR
THE QUESTIONS AS WE HAVE WE
HAVE SEEN IT TO SOME EXTENT. IN
THE NURSING PROFESSION WORK
OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
NURSING PROGRAMS. TURNOUT
ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN NURSING.
STUDENTS BUT BECAUSE OF A
VARIETY OF PREFERENCES IN THE
HEALTH CARE. ENVIRONMENT
HOSPITALS AND OTHERS PREFER
BACHELOR'S DEGREE NURSES. AND
THEREFORE CREATE DIFFICULTY FOR
OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
GRADUATES OF NURSING PROGRAMS
AND I'D CERTAINLY HATE FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO CREATE. ANOTHER
RULE THAT CREATES ORPHANS OUT
OF FOLKS WHO WERE WORKING
DILIGENTLY IN THE HEALTHCARE
PROFESSION UP AND DOWN THE
STATE BECAUSE- EMPLOYERS NOW
PREFER. TO HIRE RADIOLOGICAL
ASSISTANCE BECAUSE THE PAY
DIFFERENTIAL MAY NOT BE THAT
MUCH. OVER THE OUR TEASER
CURRENTLY QUALIFIED IN
PERFORMING WORK. HELLO MY
QUESTION MAKES SENSE DOES NOT
NECESSARILY NEED TO BE EVER
RESPONDED TO UNLESS YOU CHOOSE
TO RESPOND. SENATOR IF I I'VE I
MAY ONCE AGAIN THE TITLE AS THE
RADIO SYSTEM AND TO PROTECT
THAT TITLE THAT'S THE
FOUNDATION BUT ALONG WITH THAT
IS THE ELEMENTS OF EDUCATION
THE ELEMENTS OF A GROWTH WITHIN
THE INDUSTRY. BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY IS THE FACT THAT
THESE PRACTITIONERS ARE THERE
TO PROVIDE SAFETY IN RADIATION
SAFETY AND ASSISTANCE- FOR THE
CONSUMER AND IF THIS BILL GOES
FORWARD THEN WHATEVER
AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE ABLE TO
PUT TOGETHER TO CONTINUE THE
WE'RE OPEN TO THAT. BUT GIVEN
THIS OPPORTUNITY WE WILL FIND
THAT- ALONG WITH THE VETERANS
HEALTH ADMINISTRATION ALONG
WITH- LARGE- HOSPITALS AND
CLINICS THAT NEEDED TO WELL
TRAINED AND CERTIFIED
INDIVIDUALS THAT'S WHAT THIS
DOOR WILL OPEN. THANK CENTER I
SEE NO OTHER MIKES UP. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE AND I WILL
CLOSE WITH THOSE LAST COMMENTS
AND RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU'RE
ABLE TO MOVE THIS BILL FORWARD

REGARDING LICENSED PLUMBER
LICENSED PLUMBING CONTRACTOR
REPAIR EXEMPTIONS EXEMPTION AND
I WOULD LIKE TO START BY SAYING
THAT I WILL AND HAVE ACCEPTED
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS THAT
WE PUT THAT ON THE TABLE RIGHT
AWAY. UNDER CURRENT LAW
PLUMBING CONTRACTORS ARE
LICENSED BY THE CONTRACTORS
STATE LICENSING BOARD AND ARE
CERTIFIED TO PERFORM SEWER
LATERAL INSPECTIONS. AND MAKE
REPAIRS BASED ON THEIR
INSPECTIONS IN THESE
INSPECTIONS ARE NOW BEING
REQUIRED TIME AND TIME AGAIN BY
CITIES AND COUNTIES THROUGHOUT
THE STATE. A HOME INSPECTION BY
A PHYSICAL EXAMINATION OF A
HOME. INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED
TO SOME PLUMBING SYSTEMS
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS HAS SYSTEM
HEATING SYSTEMS AND GENERAL
MAINTENANCE PERFORMED FOR A
FREE IN CONNECTION WITH THE
TRANSFER REAL PROPERTY AND
THESE DISCLOSURE REQUIRED- IN
MANY FORMS OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION REALTORS. AND THE
DISCLOSURES BY THE SELLER TO
THE BUYER OR VITAL IN THE
TRANSACTION. SEWER LATERAL
INSPECTIONS ARE NOT PART OF A
TRADITIONAL HOME INSPECTIONS
SEWER LATERAL INSPECTIONS WHICH
ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY SEWER
LEAKS ARE REQUIRED BY AS I
MENTIONED CITIES AND COUNTIES.
AT THE TIME WHEN THE HOME WAS
SOLD AND THE COUNTY RECORDER
HAS KNOWLEDGE OF A TRANSFER.
EXISTING LAW PROHIBITS HOME
INSPECTOR A HOME INSPECTION
COMPANY OR EMPLOYEE OF A HOME
INSPECTION COMPANY FOR
PERFORMING WORK ON ANY HOME.
WHICH THEY HAVE EXPECTED IN THE
LAST TWELVE MONTHS. THESE
PROHIBITIONS ARE IN LAW BECAUSE
HOME INSPECTORS ARE NOT
LICENSED HOWEVER PLUMBER'S
LICENSE BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND THE LICENSING
BOARDS ARE ALLOWED TO INSPECT
AND REPAIR SEWER LATERAL.
DAMAGE CURRENTLY IT IS
CONSIDERED UNFAIR BUSINESS
PRACTICE FOR PLUMBING
CONTRACTED TO DO BOTH THE SEWER
INSPECTION AND THE SEWER REPAIR
IF THE COMPANY HAS ALSO
CONDUCTED A HOME INSPECTION ON
THE SAME PROPERTY. SENATE BILL
FORTY FOUR CORRECTS THIS
PROBLEM ALLOWS CONSUMERS MORE
CHOICES AND ALLOW THEM TO BE
MORE INVOLVED TO SAVE TIME SAVE
MONEY AND TO REVIEW THE
INSPECTION- THAT IS PROVIDED BY
THE LICENSE PLUMBER. SENATE
BILL EIGHT FORTY FOUR CLARIFIES
THAT A LICENSED PLUMBING
CONTRACTOR CAN MAKE REPAIRS TO
A SEWER LATERAL PIPE. THEY HAVE
INSPECTED EVEN IF THEY OR THEIR
COMPANY HAS PERFORMED A HOME
INSPECTION ON THE SAME PROPERTY.
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN AB THIRTEEN
FIFTY SEVEN CHIU PROVIDED AN
EXEMPTION FOR LICENSE ROOF
INSPECTORS SENATE BILL FORTY
FOUR WOULD PROVIDE A SIMILAR
EXEMPTION FOR THE SPECIALIST
LICENSED PLUMBERS. SENATE BILL
FORTY FOUR PROTECT CONSUMERS
WHILE ALLOWING THEM TO CHOOSE A
LICENSED PLUMBING CONTRACTOR TO
CONDUCT THE SEWER LATERAL
INSPECTION AND MAKE ANY NEEDED
REPAIRS EVEN IF THE PLUMBERS
COMPANY HAS PERFORMED HOME
INSPECTION ON THE SAME PROPERTY
IN THE PAST. FOR ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS TODAY I HAVE TRANSMIT
REPRESENTING OUR BILL SPONSORED
HOME GUARD TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT VIA THE TELECONFERENCE
LINE. THIS BILL HAS NO
OPPOSITION AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AYE VOTE THANK YOU
JACKSON- MISTER SMITH PLEASE
PROCEED. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS TRANSMIT
ON BEHALF OF HOME GUARD SPONSOR
OF THE BILL. THE INTENT OF THE
BILL IS TO ADDRESS. LOOKING
BODY THE WALL ONE DEALING WITH
THE REGULATION OF HOME
INSPECTORS- ARE UNLICENSED AND
THEREFORE PROHIBITED FROM
MAKING. ANY REPAIRS UNDER A
HOME INSPECTION- AND THE SECOND
BODY OF LAW WHICH DEALS WITH
LICENSED CONTRACTORS IN THIS
CASE PLUMBERS WHO ARE IN FACT
ALLOWED TO MAKE REPAIRS BASED
ON THEIR INSPECTION- THE
PROBLEM EXISTS IF A COMPANY-
OFFERS BOTH INSPECTIONS A HOME
INSPECTION AND A SEWER LATERAL
INSPECTION. THE MERE FACT THAT
THEY'VE DONE A HOME INSPECTION
ON THE PROPERTY DAMAGE LIMITS
THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE A SEWER
REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THERE
LICENSE UNDER THEIR PLUMBING
LICENSE. WE ARE NOT ALLOWING
REPAIRS BE MADE UNDER THE HOME
INSPECTION REPORT THESE ARE TWO
SEPARATE REPORTS- WILL ONLY
ALLOWING REPAIRS UNDER THE
TERMS OF THE PLUMBING LICENSE-
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT EIGHTY SEWER LATERAL
INSPECTION IS DONE UP WITH KGO
CAMERA AND S THE CONSUMER IS
PROVIDED. THE EITHER VIDEO
EVIDENCE OR PHOTOGRAPHIC
EVIDENCE FOR THE NEED FOR A
REPAIR. THERE ARE SEVERAL
CONSUMER DISCLOSURES REQUIRED
UNDER THE BILL WILL MAKE IT
VERY CLEAR TO THE CONSUMER THAT
IF THEY AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR
TO THEIR SEWER LATERAL- THEY
ARE NOT AUTHORIZED THE HEATING
REPAIRS PROVIDED UNDER THE HOME
INSPECTION REPORT SO WE ARE
KEEPING BOTH REPORTS-
SEPARATELY AND REPAIRS ARE ONLY
ALLOWED. IN THE PLUMBING REPORT
NOT THE HOME INSPECTION REPORT
AGAIN THERE AREN'T THERE'S NO
OPPOSITION. AND WE RESPECT

OPPOSITION. MISTER CHAIR NO ONE
IS SIGNALED THAT THEY WISH TO
SPEAK THANK YOU LET'S NOT BRING
THE DISCUSSION BACK TO THE
CHAMBER. AND MY COLLEAGUES
COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS DR PAN. I THANK YOU
SHARE- CIRCULAR APPRECIATE-
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO BRING
FORWARD I KNOW WE'VE HAD SOME
DISCUSSIONS. I GUESS YEAH
LEVINE MY CONCERN IS WE HAVE
THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST RULES
TO PREVENT- ESSENTIALLY
CREATING INCENTIVES PARTICULAR
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES OR SOMEONE
TO. FIND SOMETHING ON
INSPECTION REPORT WHICH THEM
COULD AFFECT THEIR ABILITY TO
SELL THEIR HOME OR THE VALUE OF
THEIR HOMES BECAUSE- THE
PURCHASER WOULD NOT WANT TO
FIGHT YOU KNOW HAVE A DEFECT ON
THEIR- AND THEN- THE SAME
PERSON'S DOING INSPECTION IS
ALSO DOING THE REPAIR. THERE'S
PERHAPS AN INCENTIVE FOR THEM
TO FIND A PROBLEM RIGHT BECAUSE
THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
SOME MONEY. AND WHY DO
APPRECIATE THAT YOU MENTIONED
THAT SOMEONE CAN TAKE A LOOK AT
THE VIDEO I MEAN A LAY PERSON
IS PROBABLY YOU KNOW THOSE OF A
FARMER SAYS WELL THERE'S A
PROBLEM THERE- IT HARD FOR A
LAYPERSON SAID WELL NO THERE
ISN'T AND- BY THE WAY IT'S
GONNA SHOW UP ON INSPECTION
REPORTS SO I AM GOING TO HAVE
TO. YOU KNOW HI IS A- SELLER OF
THE HOME. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO
EXPLAIN TO ANY PURCHASER THAT
WELL ACTUALLY I DISAGREED WITH
THE PLUMBER- BUT IT'S STILL
INSPECTION REPORT SO BASICALLY
I'M STUCK AND HAVING REPAIRED-
SO CAN YOU TELL ME NOW OF
COURSE AGAIN THE OTHER REASON
FOR INSPECTION IS TO BE SURE
THAT THE PURCHASER HAS AN
ACCURATE. ASSESSMENT OF THE PER
PROPERTY DEVICE SO CAN YOU
EXPLAIN TO ME ASIDE FROM THE
VIDEO PART. WHAT IS IT WHAT ARE
THE PROTECTIONS THAT PREVENT
THE ESSENTIALLY THE PLUMBER WHO
IS ALSO BY THE WAY IN THIS CASE
EMPLOYEE BY THE INSPECTION
COMPANY SO EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T
STAND INSPECTOR THE PLUMBER TO
SEPARATE PEOPLE. IF THE PLUMBER
WHO IS INDEED WHO'S EMPLOYED BY
THE INSPECTION COMPANY IS DOING
INSPECTION REPORT- NOT HAVE A
CONFLICT OR WHAT KIND OF THINGS
ARE YOU DOING TO BEFRIEND BE
SURE THERE IS A FINANCIAL
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE PERSON
DOING THE INSPECTION. AND THE
PERSON DOING THE REPAIR TOOL
THAT PROFIT FROM CONDUCTING
THOSE REPAIRS. THAT WERE
ESSENTIALLY- WELL I MEAN IN
CITED BY A BECAUSE- A-
INSPECTION FINDINGS SO HOW DO
WE BE SURE THAT. WE PROTECT
CONSUMERS AGAINST A POTENTIAL
SALE BEING LEVERAGED TO THANK
YOU FOR TO SERVICES THAT- THAT-
WELL THAT- MAY NOT HAS TO BE
WELL BASICALLY WE SAW I CREATE
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR- SOMEONE THE
LEVERAGE SOMEONE TO. IT TO MAKE
MONEY. CENTER I'M GOING TO GO
AHEAD AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS
AT THE END OF THE- EXPERT HAS%
ANYTHING YOU COULD DO A JUMP IN
WITH. BUT AS I MENTIONED
EARLIER IN THE DAY THAT ARE MY
I AM A LICENSED REAL ESTATE
BROKER- I HAVE REPRESENTED-
NUMEROUS CLIENTS OVER THE
YEARS. AND I'VE WORKED WITH
NUMEROUS HOME INSPECTION
COMPANIES AND- WE LOOK FOR THE
MOST PROFESSIONAL MARCH
FEDERAL- HOME INSPECTION
COMPANY IF WE COULD FIND. AT
THE REPUTATION IS ACROSS THE
BOARD- IF IT'S BAD EVERYONE
STAYS AWAY FROM IT IF IT'S GOOD
EVERYONE WILL GO TO IT AND
THAT'S WHERE THE ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS. HAS ASSOCIATE MEMBERS
WHO ARE IN GOOD STANDINGS
THAT'S NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO
IF THE HOME INSPECTION COMPANY
IS LARGE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO
EMPLOY A LICENSED PLUMBER. THAT
WILL COME ON BOARD ONLY IF THE
HOME INSPECTION. REVEALS THAT
THERE MIGHT BE DAMAGE IN THE
LATERAL LINE OR THE FACT THAT
THE LATERAL LNE MUST BE
INSPECTED FOR THE COUNTY OR
CITY REQUIREMENT BEFORE. IT
TRANSFERRED BECAUSE WE HAVE TWO
SCENARIOS ONE THAT THE HOME
INSPECTION TURNED ON THE WATER
FAUCETS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IT
IT'S SLOW THE PLAN MUST BE AN
ISSUE SO SOMETHING MUST BE
CAUSINGTHE PROBLEM. THAT THEY
RECOMMENDED THAT THE LICENSE A
PLUMBER DO. A LATERAL
INSPECTION. SO THERE IS THIS
CLOSE THAT THEY HAVE SOMEONE ON
STAFF THAT CAN DO THAT AND
REMEMBER AND I DON'T KNOW THAT
YOU KNOW THIS BUT- THE HOME
INSPECTION- CONSIST OF THE
PLUMBING HEATING ELECTRICAL-
THE AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUES- ALL ACROSS THAT THE
HOME BECAUSE- THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS IS
LOOKING FOR A GOOD SOLID
DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. BY THE
SELLER SO IF THE SELLER HAS
KNOWLEDGE OF SOMETHING BY LAW
THEY HAVE TO DISCLOSE IT IF
THEY DON'T. THEN THE INSPECTION
WOULD DISCOVER IT AND THAT'S
WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT HAVE A
GOOD DILIGENT INSPECTION MADE
THAT WILL REVEAL THESE THINGS
SO WHEN THE HOME INSPECTION
REVEALS THAT- IT MUST GO TO THE
NEXT LEVEL THE EXPERT THE
LICENSE- PLUMBER. THEN HE WILL
FIND IT AND THEN HE'LL LOOK AT
AND SIT DOWN WITH THE HOMEOWNER
AND SAY THIS IS WHAT I FOUND
THESE ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS
HERE'S THE VIDEO HERE THE
PICTURES. AND YOU HAVE THE
CHOICE TO USE THE SERVICES OF
THAT PARTICULAR COMPANY OR
SOMEONE ELSE AND AS YOU KNOW AS
WELL AS I DO THAT ALL OF US
HAVE A FRIEND OF A FRIEND. WHO
IS A PLUMBER ELECTRICIAN AND SO
ON SO MORE THAN LIKELY THE
CONSUMER MIGHT GET ANOTHER- BID
AND- OR GET THREE BIDS THIS IS
WHAT'S RECOMMENDED BY THE
ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS THREE
BIDS. SO THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO
DO THAT SO THE CONSUMER ALWAYS
HAS THE OPTION TO DO THAT. AND
SO IN REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT
OF INTEREST I THINK THE
DISCLOSURE BY THE HOME
PROTECTION COMPANY THE
DISCLOSURE BY THE REALTOR
HIMSELF. WITH THE FULL
KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS HOMEOWNER
HAS THE OPTION TO GET THREE
BIDS I THINK THERE'S A
PROTECTION THAT WE'RE LOOKING
FOR. BUT AGAIN THE CONSUMER
PROTECTION IS WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING FOR IN THE COURSE OF
BEING ABLE TO. MEET THAT
STANDARD THAT THE CITY OR
COUNTY HAS PUT ON THE TABLE AND
NOT ALL OF THEM DO NOT. ALL OF
THEM DO. BUT WHEN IT'S REQUIRED
THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO DO IT
WITH A LICENSE- PLUMBER. SO IF
THERE'S ANYTHING THAT- MY-
EXPERT LIKE TO ADD- PLEASE JOIN
IN. SURE MISTER CHAIRMAN OKAY
WE HEAR THIS IN THE
ENTRENCHMENT- THE ONLY OTHER
THING I WOULD ADD AND AS
REMEMBER BECAUSE OF THE COMPANY
OF THE LICENSED PLUMBER- THERE
IS ADDED CONSUMER PROTECTION
THAT IF THEY FEEL THERE IS
ANYTHING FRAUDULENT GOING ON A
REPAIRS ARE BEING RECOMMENDED.
OR NOT WARRANTED AND AGM FILED
COMPLAINTS OR THEY CAN CHECK IN
ADVANCE- WITH ON THAT COMPANY
TO SEE IF THEY HAVE COMPLAINTS
FILED AGAINST THEM AND THE
BALL'S MONTHLY THE STATE
CONTRACTORS BOARD DOES HAVE THE
ABILITY TO FIND THE FOUNDER
REVOKE A PLUMBER'S LICENSE THAT
THEIR- ACT THE FRAUDULENTLY SO
THERE IS THAT ACT THAT ADDED.
BENEFIT OF KNOWING IN A LICENSE
AND TO THE IS BEING REGULATED
AND OVERSEEN BY. STATE AGENCIES.
OKAY CERTAINLY A UNDERSTAND
THAT THE FORMER DEBTS LICENSE
SERVICES TO- MAINTAIN THEIR
LICENSE- I AM CONCERNED THAT-
UNLESS THERE'S SUFFICIENT
WORKER PROTECTIONS THAT- IS
THAT SUMMER'S ACTUALLY AN
EMPLOYEE OF THE SAME COMPANY
THAT'S CONDUCTING THE
INSPECTION THAT SO THEY'RE BOTH
INSPECTOR ANDERSON THE PERSON
OFFERING TO FIX SAID THERE IS
NO POTENTIAL CHALLENGE UNLESS-
YOU KNOW. CONFLICT THERE AND
UNLESS. FOR SOME REASON THE
PLUMBER- WELL GUESS THE- THE
QUESTION IS THAT WITH THE SAME
COMPANY THAT STATE INSPECTION
ALSO THEN PROFIT BY HAVING THE
REPAIR DONE BY THEIR OWN
PLUMBER TODAY IN FLOYD I THINK
IT'S STILL STILL BIT
PROBLEMATIC BUT I DO APPRECIATE
YOUR EXPLANATION CERTAINLY AYE
YUP BOW TO YOUR SUPERIOR
EXPERIENCE IN REAL ESTATE I'VE-
PERSONALLY FEEL OF COURSE THAT
BIDEN TOLD A COUPLE HOUSES AS
AND IN MY LIFETIME- NOT NOT TO
USE SLF BUT I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT KNOWING HOW IMPORTANT
INSPECTOR REPORT IS- TO SELLING
A HOUSE- I DO HAVE CONCERNS BUT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR
ANSWER. THANK YOU SENATOR PAN
COLLEAGUES- I WOULD REMIND YOU
WE ARE NOWAFTER THE HOUR OF
TWELVE NOON WE HAVE ALL TURNED
INTO PUMPKINS SO FOR THOSE OF
YOU WITH QUESTIONS AND THOSE OF
YOU RESPONDING I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT IF YOU WOULD BE
AS CONCISE AS POSSIBLE WHILE
GETTING THE INFORMATION THAT
YOU NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE AN
INFORMED DECISION SENATOR
NEWMAN- ANYTHING CHURCHILL
CENTER PROJECT YOU DONE MY WORK
FOR ME TODAY- AND I'M HAVING
ONE OF THE STATION REMOTE
DIGITAL MOMENTS IT WAS ACTUALLY
TWENTY SEVENTEEN- HE AND I WERE
BOTH ON THE SAME COMMITTEE AND
WE HEARD AB THIRTEEN FIFTY
SEVEN WHICH ACTUALLY. PERTAIN
TO ROOFERS AND I THINK PROBABLY
COINCIDENTALLY- THE SPONSOR
WITH THE SAME COMPANY AS TODAY
I SHARE SENATOR PANTS
CONCERNED- ABOUT THAT NOT JUST
CONFLICT OF INTEREST BUT THE
ISSUE PROVIDING THE ASSURANCE
TO CONSUMERS THAT THEY'RE NOT
SUBJECT TO CONFLICT OF INTEREST
IN A PARTICULAR AT A MOMENT.
THAT IS- YOU KNOW THE END OF
SORT OF. WITH RISK AND A BIG-
IF FROM- PEOPLE MOST FAMILIES-
AND SO I HAVE MISSED GIVE. NOT
A THIS- BUT ABOUT THE BROADER.
CERTIFICATIONS HERE THIS IS
PRECISELY WHY IN CALIFORNIA.
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR CAR SMOG
CHECKED- THAT THE COMPANY DOING
THE CHECK IS NOT ALLOWED TO DO
THE REPAIRS. TO PROVIDE THAT
SIMILAR ASSURANCE TO CONSUMERS-
INSIDE I WILL PROBABLY STAY OF
THE BILL TODAY GIVEN THAT- AND
I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S WORK
ON THIS. THANK YOU SIR AND I
SEE- NO OTHER. MIKES UP NO
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
SERRAJ LETTER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE YES THANK YOU THIS YEAR.
ONCE AGAIN- MY COLLEAGUES THIS
BILL. IS A CONSUMER PROTECTION
BILL IN REALITY BECAUSE THE
FACT THAT THE CONSUMER DOES
ALWAYS HAVE THE OPTION. AND IT
IS ALWAYS DISCLOSED BY THE
REALTORS THE HOME INSPECTION
COMPANY. THAT THEY CAN'T GET-
THE FINAL INSPECTION BY
LICENSED PLUMBER OF THEIR
CHOICE. SO THE EXEMPTION I
THINK WILL- CREATE- AN
AWARENESS IT WILL CREATE THE
SENSE OF- OF SAFETY. WHEN A
PROPERTY IS BEING TRANSFERRED.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL.
THANK YOU SIR DO WE HAVE A

MISTER CHAIR. A LOT. IN
RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC THE
DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
CONSUMER AFFAIRS ISSUED A
WAIVER LAST ME TO ALLOW
PHARMACISTS TO ORDER AN
ADMINISTER COVERED NINETEEN
TESTS IN THE STATE. IN AUGUST
OF TWENTY TWENTY THE DCA

LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND
AMENDING THE SCOPES OF PRACTICE

CLIA WAIVED TESTS. THOSE ARE
CLINICAL LABORATORY IMPROVEMENT
AMENDMENTS CONTEST IN AN EFFORT

SB FOUR OH NINE SECURES A MORE
PERMANENT SOLUTION THROUGH
STATUTORY CHANGES THAT
FACILITATE THE AUTHORITY FOR
PHARMACISTS. TO PERFORM THESE
CLIA WAIVED CORBIN AND
INFLUENZA TESTING IN A SAFE
MATT MATTER. THE BILL
FORMALIZES THE DCA ORDER AND
AUTHORIZES A PHARMACIST OR A
PHARMACY TO PERFORM UNDER
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS ANY ASPECT
OF AN FDA APPROVED TEST. FOR
THE PRESENCE OF SARS COVERED TO
THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES COBIT
NINETEEN OR INFLUENZA THAT IS
CLASSIFIED AS WAIVED UNDER THAT
THE CLEAR RULES. MANY OF OUR

CHALLENGES IN OBTAINING ACCESS
TO TESTING AND VACCINES FROM
THE ONSET OF THE PANDEMIC.
PEOPLE TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES IN
ORDER TO OBTAIN PRESCRIPTIONS
TESTING AND NOW TO RECEIVE
THEIR VACCINES MOST OF OUR
COMMUNITIES HAVE AT LEAST ONE
PHARMACIES THESE LOCATIONS HAVE
BEEN KEY PILLARS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. PRE PANDEMIC AND
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC HAVE
SERVED AS LIFELINES TO OUR
RESIDENTS ESPECIALLY IN RURAL
AREAS LIKE MY DISTRICT WERE
AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO QUALITY
HEALTHCARE IS DIFFICULT TO COME
BY. IT IS CRITICAL TO UTILIZE
THIS RESOURCE AND THE HIGHLY
SPECIALIZED TRAINING AND
EXPERIENCE MORE PHARMACISTS TO
EXPAND MUCH NEEDED ACCESS TO
TESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY. THIS
BILL DOES NOT EXPAND THEIR
SCOPE OF PRACTICE BEYOND THE
CURRENT EDUCATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS HERE TO TESTIFY IN

THE QUESTION IS IN TERMS OF
THE- INCLUDING A PHARMACIST IN
CHARGE OF THE DEFINITIONAL
LABORATORY DIRECTOR- BUT HE CAN

SIR PAN SENATOR PER YEAR WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- MISTER CHAIR AND
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION
DOCTOR COUNTY BY THE I BELIEVE
THAT THE WAY THAT THE THAT IT'S
REGULATED BY THE FDA IS YOU
NEED A PHARMACY DIRECTOR YOU
MAY HAVE TO HAVE TO IDENTIFY
SOMEBODY AS THE DIRECTOR WHO'S
IN CHARGE- BUT- FRANKLY. THE
THAT THE ISSUE MAYBE WE CAN
LOOK AT CALLING IT SOMETHING
ELSE BUT THE ISSUE IS JUST
SOMEBODY HAS TO BE IN CHARGE
OF. OF OF THE WHOLE PROCESS AND
IT TO THE CLOSED LOOP PROCESS
THERE'S NOTHING COMPLICATED
ABOUT IT- BOB FIVE SEEN THAT IN
THE OPPOSITION WANT TO TALK TO
THEM AND ALSO TALK TO THE
PHARMACY BOARD TO SEE IF
THERE'S SOME RESOLUTION THAT
WILL. SATISFY THAT PARTICULAR
REQUIREMENT I THINK THE ISSUE
YOU KNOW THAT THE BIGGEST
CONCERN IS EIGHT. IS THIS IDEA
THAT YOU'RE MAKING SOMEBODY A
DIRECTOR OF SOMETHING BUT I
THINK IT JUST HAS TO BE
SOMEBODY IN CHARGE. SO I
