THE COMMITTEE. THIS BILL IS
LONG OVERDUE. IS A DOWN PAYMENT
TOWARDS STATE PLAYING A MORE
ACTIVE ROLE IN DISMANTLING OVER

STRATEGY. IT'S NOT JUST ENOUGH
TO DECLARE RACISM AS A PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS IS SO MANY OF OUR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. HAVE HAVE
DONE AND DISCUSS OTHER PEOPLE
ACROSS THE STATE WE MUST ALSO
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THE

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. UP I
JUST WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD- I
DON'T WANT TO BELABOR THE POINT
AS I THINK OTHERS SPEAKERS AS
WELL AS THE AUTHOR DID A GREAT
JOB OF HIGHLIGHTING WHY THIS
IS. IMPORTANT AS WE KNOW THAT
RACIAL AND HOLD DISPARITIES
EXIST AND ESPECIALLY DURING THE
PANDEMIC IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY
CLEAR THAT- COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR MINORITY COMMUNITIES ARE
THE ONES THAT ARE HARDEST HIT.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO REITERATE
SOMETHING IN ONE OF THE
SPEAKERS SET AND MEENA KNOWING
THAT RACE ON HEALTH DISPARITIES
EXIST RESPONSE HAS TO BE. THIS
MONTH SYSTEMATIC I'M SORRY IT
WILL BE SYSTEMATIC IN TERMS OF
IDENTIFYING DEVELOPING
STRATEGIES. AND ELIMINATING
WASTE ON HOLD DISPARITIES SELL
WITHOUT- I WANT BY LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR AND
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A
CLOCK WHEN APPROPRIATE AND WITH
THAT I WANT TO MOVE THE BILL.
THANK YOU WE HAVE A MOTION BY.
THE- DOCTOR PAN BEFORE- WE GO
TO THE VOTE- FOR THE RECORD I
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
ARE ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS ON
PAGE TEN OF THE ANALYSIS AS
WELL AS THE- SEVEN YEAR SUNSET
CORRECT YES CORRECT. WHAT I'M
SORRY MR BECK CENTER BACKER I
DID NOT SEE THAT MICROPHONE GO
AHEAD. MISTER CHAIR JUST A
QUICK COMMENT AS WELL TO THANK
THE AUTHOR- IT'S OF COURSE VERY
TIMELY. BILL AND A SYSTEMIC
PROBLEM REQUIRES A SYSTEMIC
RESPONSE AND THAT'S WHY IN
SUPPORT OF THIS I WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO BE. ADDED TO A CO
AUTHOR IF YOU'RE ACCEPTING CO
AUTHORS AND I. APPRECIATE THE
LEGISLATION. FANTASTIC SENATOR.
THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIR I'M
IT'S TIME FOR SOMEONE SPEAK FOR
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AND OUR CONSTITUTION. YOU MAY
HAVE ISSUES WITH OUR
CONSTITUTION THAT GOES BACK
OVER TWO HUNDRED YEARS. THE
FOUNDERS ANTICIPATED THAT AND
SET IN PLACE MECHANISMS FOR
THAT CONSTITUTION TO BE AMENDED
BE IT THE DESIRE. WE COME FROM
TWO HUNDRED TWENTY SEVEN YEARS
WITH VERY FEW AMENDMENTS. MOST
ALL OF BEEN VERY POSITIVE
AMENDMENTS. IT SEEMS LIKE ALL
OF A SUDDEN HERE IN AMERICA
WE'RE ON A- GREAT RUSH. THE
PURGE OUR HISTORY BECAUSE FROM
BODIES PEARL DO NOT LIKE
ELEMENTS OF OUR HISTORY. I DO
NOT LIKE SOME ELEMENTS OF OUR
HISTORY. BUT THIS COUNTRY HAS
SURVIVED AND PROSPERED. FOR ALL
OF THESE DECADES VERY WELL. AS
AN EXAMPLE. TO THE WORLD. OF
GOODNESS KINDNESS BENEVOLENCE
RESPECT. DAVID CHERRY PICK ALL
YOU WANT IS THE FINDING HERE DO.
AND CONDEMN ALL YOU WANT. BUT I
SUBMIT. OUR CONSTITUTION IS
QUITE SOUND. AND THERE'S STILL
ORDER THE SWELLED THROUGH THE
DECADES AS HAS THE CALIFORNIA.
CONSTITUTION. HERE WE CHANGE IT
MORE OFTEN THAN NATIONALLY. AS
WELL WE SHOULD I SUPPOSE. BUT I
CAN'T ABIDE WITH THIRTEEN PAGES
OF CHERRY PICKED EXAMPLES. OF
WHAT SOME DETERMINAR BAD
SOMEBODY'S I DETERMINAR BAD.
BUT DO WE WANT TO REINVENT OUR
HISTORY. FRANKLY ONE OF THE
MOST NEGLECTED PARTS OF
EDUCATION IN CALIFORNIA IS
HISTORY. OUR YOUTH ARE NOT
IMBUED WITH A SENSE OF HISTORY.
AND THIS HAS BEEN CONVEYED VERY
OFTEN TO ME BY HISTORY
PROFESSORS. AND TEACHERS. WE
WANT TO REWRITE HISTORY. I DO
NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE
WAY TO DO IT. THEY WANT TO
STAND UP FINE NOW TO THE
ELEMENTS OF THE BILL. AT THE
SAME ESTIMATED THE GOVERNOR
MIGHT HAVE SOME PROBLEMS HERE
BECAUSE IF YOU SEARCH THE
GOVERNOR'S AUTHORITY. ALL THE
GOVERNOR DOESN'T SEEM TO BE
RELUCTANT TO USURP LEGISLATIVE
AUTHORITY THESE DAYS. BUT IT
DOES IT GIVES JUST. IT THIRTY.
THE ABILITY TO CONTROL OTHER
AGENCIES. TO A BLANK CHECK THE
BUDGETS OF OTHER AGENCIES. IN
THIS AGENCY IS RECORDED ALMOST
A BLANK CHECK IN THE BUDGET. I
WILL BE UNKNOWABLE. SIR CALM
WATER THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND EITHER WAY WELCOME TO THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR YOUR-
M. AND I WANT I APPRECIATE THE-
AUTHOR FOR- BRINGING THIS. BILL
FORWARD I WANTED TO ASK I AM
ACTUALLY HAVE A QUESTION FOR
THE AUTHOR- ABOUT SORT OF THE
COORDINATED INTEGRATED
APPROACH- THAT THIS OFFICE
WOULD HAVE I THINK OFTEN TIMES
WHEN WE'RE THINKING ABOUT AND
TALKING ABOUT RACIAL EQUITY-
WE'RE THINKING ABOUT THE TOP
LINE ISSUES CRIMINAL JUSTICE
HEALTH CARE RACIAL VIOLENCE BUT
WE'VE NOTICED AND WE KNOW THAT-
THEIR RACIAL INEQUITIES THAT
HAPPENED IN EDUCATION AND
TRANSPORTATION AND NOW
INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS ARE
GIVEN OUT. IN A DEVELOPMENT
CONSTRUCTION HOUSING X. SENTARA
AND- IT WOULD BE. I THINK THE
STATE WOULD BE REMISS TO HAVE
AN OFFICE A NEWLY CREATED
OFFICE THAT OPERATES IN A SILO-
AND THAT ISN'T LOOKING TO SORT
OF INTEGRATE IN INFUSE- EITHER
THESE KINDS OF- METRICS OR
QUESTIONS OR BENCHMARKS THAT WE
SHOULD REALLY BE APPLYING
ACROSS THE BOARD IN ALL OF THE
AGENCIES THAT ARE RUN BY THE
STATE. SO I WAS WONDERING IF
YOU COULD TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT AND THEN GIVEN THE
FACT THAT THERE WILL BE A
SUNSET WITH SEVEN YEARS AND I
CERTAINLY DON'T THINK THAT
WE'RE GOING TO CURE AND THE
CHALLENGES WITH OF RACIAL
INEQUITY IN SEVEN YEARS. WHAT
WOULD BE THE PLAN TO SORT OF-
INTEGRATE YOU KNOW SO THAT IF
IT DOES DISSOLVE THERE ARE
STILL THE ELEMENTS OF THE
OFFICE THAT ARE PERMEATING- YOU
KNOW ACROSS ALL OF THE
DEPARTMENTS. OF COURSE THERE IS
AN OPPORTUNITY I'M SURE EXTEND
THE SUNSET BUT IF THAT WERE NOT
TO HAPPEN HOW WOULD WE MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE STILL ABLE TO
SAVE AND USE- AND EXPANDON THE
WORK THAT WILL BE HAPPENING IN
THIS OFFICE. I THINK YOU-
CENTER CALLING FOR- FOR THE
QUESTION- FIRST OF ALL- I THINK
THE INTENT OF THE SUNSETS AS
WORKING AS A IF I HAD A
CONVERSATION WITH A CHAIR IS
REALLY TO FOR- AND OPTING FOR
REVIEW- TO EXAMINE THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE OFFICE SEE
THERE'S ADJUSTMENTS WE NEED TO
MAKE. TO THE LEGISLATION
SOUNDING THIS OFFICE IN TERMS
OF INSPECTORS MOVING FORWARD SO
AT LEAST I CERTAINLY HOPE
PERSONALLY THAT- THE PURPOSE OF
THE SUNSET IS NOT TO TERMINATE
THE OFFICE AT THAT TIME BUT TO
IMPROVE IT AND AT NOW THAT WE
HAD. THAT TIME LESSONS I DO
APPRECIATE THE CHAIR WORKING
WITH ME TO MAKE IT A SEVEN YEAR
SUNSET TO GET SUFFICIENT TIME
FOR THIS OFFICE TO. BE ABLE TO-
LUNCH IT'S INITIAL WORK
SUPPORTERS OPPORTUNITIES ENOUGH
SO THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A
GOOD VALUE AND GOOD EVALUATION
BUT YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT GONNA
SOLVE SYSTEMIC RACISM IN SEVEN
YEARS- AND NOT ALL. DEAL PART
IS YOU MEANT IS THAT- TO A OF
EXAMPLE DO AN OFF OF. EQUITY
AND THE HEALTH HUMAN. AND
HEALTH EQUITY BUT AGAIN THE
SILO IN ISSUE IS VERY IMPORTANT
SO FOR EXAMPLE WE CAN THINK
ABOUT CERTAIN HOUSING POLICIES
THEN UNDERMINING- ACTUALLY
WEALTH'S. CONTINUATION BY THAT
BY- ACTUALLY BLACK AMERICANS
AND OTHER. ANGEL GROUPS AS WELL
THEN WHICH THEN HAS.
CONSEQUENCES FOR. NOT ONLY
ACTUALLY HEALTHY I CONSEQUENCES
IT ALSO HAS OTHER TYPES OF
CONSEQUENCES IN TERMS OF WELLS
INTERLOCKING FINE AND SO FORTH
SO THESE. POLICIES IN ONE SILO
CAN HAVE TREMENDOUS IMPACTS IN
OTHERS AND I THINK THIS IS
SOMETHING IS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY
PEOPLES- IS THE MANY LOCALITIES
HAVE DECLARED RACE RACISM IS A
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AS SOMEONE
WHO HAS A BACKGROUND PUBLIC
HEALTH. WE KNOW THAT-
OFTENTIMES. YEAH WE HAVE TO
LOOK ACROSS THE SYSTEM THAT WHY
CALL SYSTEMIC RACISM RAPE-
BECAUSE AND OFTENTIMES AND WHAT
WE NEED TO DO IS WE NEED TO
BETTER BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND
AND MEASURE IT. RIGHT AND IN
MANY WAYS THIS OFFICE ONLY A
FIRST STEP RIGHT THIS OFFICE
GONNA LOOK AT TRADE ABOUT
MEASURES. GET YOU'LL BE SITTING
IN COULD. BE ABLE TO LOOK AT
THE DATA AND THEN MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN IT'S
GOING TO BE OUR JOBS AS A
LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR
AND SO FORTH AND THEN TAKE
THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND YOU
KNOW ENACT THEM AND MOVE THEM
FORWARD. RIGHT BUT IF YOU DON'T
LOOK AT YOU DON'T DEFINE THE
PROBLEM EXAMINE THE PROBLEM THE
FIRST PLACE YOU CAN TAKE STEPS
TO ADDRESS IT AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT THIS OFFICE WHAT THIS BILL
IS. ABOUT GETTING THAT FIRST
STEP JUST LIKE IF YOU TRY IT
YOU KNOW AND A PANDEMIC OR YOU
SEE- WHAT HOW DO WE REDUCE SO
IT'S A HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR
ANY OTHER THINGS REPUBLICAN
STANDPOINT FIRST THING YOU GOT
TO DO IS- THAT IS ACTUALLY
GATHERS THE DATA TO FIND A
SOCIAL STRATEGY IN AND- OF
COURSE GET THE POLITICAL WILL
TO SOLVE IT AND I'M ACTUALLY
QUITE ACTIVE PARAPHRASING AS
SURGEON GENERAL JULIUS RICHMOND
WHO WAS A MENTOR OF MINE. IN
TERMS OF HOW TO ESTABLISH GOOD
PUBLIC POLICY TO TRY TO.
IMPROVE HEALTH SO- SO THANK YOU.
SO MUCH FOR YOUR QUESTION.
CENTER THANK YOU- BORDERS.
THANK YOU. MAN POSE A QUESTION
TO AUTHOR SURE THAT WOULD
ACCEPT. WHAT IS THE ANTICIPATED
COST FOR CREATING THIS
COMMISSION. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.
SO WERE AT FIRST WELL I GUESS
WE'RE WE'RE STILL WORKING THAT
OUT ACTUALLY IS WE'RE HAVING
DISCUSSIONS- ON THE BUDGET AS
WELL AS- APPROPRIATIONS AND SO
I SEE COMMISSION ITSELF- IS IN
ITSELF- NOT TERRIBLY EXPENSIVE
YEAH WE HAVE MANY WE DO HAVE
OTHER CONDITIONS BUT I THINK
THE REAL PART IS THE WORK TO BE
ABLE TO DO THE DAY TO DATA
ANALYSIS CERTAINLY OUR STATE
COLLECTS A LOT OF DATA. IN FACT
ACTUALLY A PREVIOUSLY OFF AND-
OPEN DATA LOSS TO TRY TO MAKE
THAT DATA MORE AVAILABLE TO THE
PUBLIC- BUT THEN WE NEED TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE THE ANALYTICAL
CAPACITY AS WELL AS WELL TO DO
THAT AND SO- WE ARE- OF
CONTINUING TO WORK ON THE- THE-
THE FISCAL PART I'D REALIZING
THAT THIS IS A- YOU KNOW A
POLICY COMMITTEE DID DID NOT.
HAVE THE ANALYSIS YET- TRUE AND
PROCREATION AND CERTAINLY
WORKING WHETHER THE CHAIR
PROCREATION CENTER PORTANTINO
WE WILL WORK OUT A MORE
DETAILED US AT FISCAL
ASSISTANCE TERMS OF WHAT THE
COST WOULD BE FOR- THIS BILL.
ABOUT BALLPARK FIGURE. WELL I
THINK I INSTEAD OF TRYING TO
SPEC. ON THAT- I THINK WHEN IT
GETS YEN GOES. TO
APPROPRIATIONS BUDGET WE CAN
GET A MORE SPECIFIC I'M YOU CAN
SCALE IT IN DIFFERENT SCALES
ARE- IN TERMS OF- THE DEFIANCE
OF THE QUESTIONS HOWHOW. WHAT
DEGREE ARE WE- GOING TO SKATE
AT WHAT SCALE ARE GOING TO DO
THIS SO- I'M GONNA ASK A CENTER
PORTANTINO TO COMMENT. BUT JUST
FOR THAT FOR THOSE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS A DON'T KNOW. THIS IS A
COMMITTEE HEARING SO YOU'RE
FREE. TO DIRECTOR COMMENTS TO-
THE AUTHORED ANYTIME. WITHOUT
GOING THROUGH THE CHAIR. SO-
CENTER PORTANTINO YEAH I WAS
JUST GONNA SAY SO WE HAVE NOT
DONE A THE FULL COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS BECAUSE THE BILL
HASN'T LEFT THIS COMMITTEE YET
BUT REST ASSURED WE WILL AND
THAT'LL BE MADE AVAILABLE AND
IS THE AUTHOR STATED TYPICALLY
THESE ARE NOT SUPER EXPENSIVE-
PROGRAMS BUT- I'M HAPPY ONCE
THE ANALYSIS IS COMPLETE TO
SHARE THAT WITH YOU SENATOR. BY
ALL MEANS THANK YOU. I THINK
THE- YOU SPEAK INTO THE MIKE
PLEASE- SELF IMAGE OF MY OF MY
LAST QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR.
THIS OFFICE OF RICK RACIAL
EQUITY WOULD. PUT FORWARD OR
MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO BOTH
THE EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE AS
THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH'S
POSSIBLY EVEN. THE ENTIRE
BREADTH OF. DIVISIONS OF THE
STATE IS THAT CORRECT. YES
SEVEN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS
WHICH OF COURSE WOULD GO TO THE
ABOUT THE GOVERNOR AND THE
LEGISLATURE JUST LIKE MANY
OTHER COMMISSIONS WOULD ALL
RIGHT IN WITH IT. WITH THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS BE LIMITED TO-
PIECES OF LEGISLATION TO ENACT-
POLICY WITHIN THE DIVISIONS OF
THE STATE OR COULD THEY BE
DIRECTED IT SEPARATELY TO
REGULATORY BODIES THAT WOULD BY
PASS THE LEGISLATURE. WELL I
THINK THAT ANY REGULATORY BODY
HAS TO WORK WITHIN THE
CONSTRAINTS OF THE- THE CODE
WHICH WE OF COURSE PASSES THE
LEGISLATURE AND SO- IN MY EIGHT
TIMES BODIES TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN
BETWEEN IT AND THE DIALOGUE
BETWEEN NOT EXECUTIVE AND THE
LEGISLATIVE- WE HAD A
DISCUSSION ABOUT HOW WHAT WOULD
WE DO WITH THE WITH THAT
PARTICULAR RECOMMENDATION AND-
OFTENTIMES WE WILL ACT AS THE
LEGISLATURE TO. EITHER PUSH THE
ADMINISTRATION TO DO SOMETHING
OR EVEN LIMITED MINISTRATION
FROM DOING SOMETHING WE DON'T
AGREE WITH SO I THINK THAT'S
PART OF THE NORMAL POLICY
MAKING PROCESS. SO HERE ALL IN
ALL FINISH HERE. ONE OF THE
CONCERNS THAT I HAVE IS BECAUSE
OF THIS HAS. EXPANSIVE
JURISDICTIONAL AUTHORITY THAT
REACHES TO ALL DIVISIONS
POTENTIALLY OF THE STATE. AS
WELL AS ALL THREE BRANCHES OF
OUR GOVERNMENT. THAT THERE BE A
FORMAL SYSTEM IN IT THIS WOULD
ALL THIS BE LIKE A FRIENDLY I
REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT. THAT AS
THIS MOVES FORWARD TO
APPROPRIATIONS. THAT IT BE
AMENDED THAT THE
RECOMMENDATIONS TAKE A
FORMALITY MEANING THAT IN ONE
DOCUMENT WETHERBY ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS OR EVERY NUMBER OF YEARS
ANY RECOMMENDATIONS BE
CONSOLIDATED SO WE THEY CAN BE
KEPT TRACK OF BECAUSE MY
CONCERN IS THAT A COMMISSION
LIKE THIS IS GOING TO SIPHON
OUT. IN SELECT IN TARGETED WAYS
OVER SEVEN YEAR PERIOD OF TIME
AND WE'RE THE PUBLIC AND OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE ARE
NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO KEEP
TRACK OF EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS
BEING- HOW THIS IS BEING
CONDUCTED IN A WAY THAT IS
HOLISTIC AND COMPREHENSIVE. SO
I'LL LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU IF
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU
THINK. COULD IMPROVE UPON.
CERTAIN CERTAINLY THE
GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONED- ISSUED
ITS RECOMMENDATION SHOULD BE A
MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD AND-
STUDENTS HAVE TO BE ORGANIZED
IN A WAY THAT COULD BE EASILY
REFERENCED BY OTHERS- THOUGH
THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS COURSE-
POLICYMAKERS AND- CERTAINLY
WILL- TAKE THAT SUGGESTION TO
HEART- WE'LL SEE WHETHER DEBT
TO. BE THE PUT IN THE CODE BUT
CERTAINLY HAPPY TO HAVE A
DIALOGUE WITH YOU- THAT THAT
BUT I WOULD IMAGINE ANY PUBLIC
COMMISSION PUTTING THIS ONE
SHOULD CERTAINLY MAKE ITS
RECOMMENDATIONS. I REALLY
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL
AS TO- THE LEGISLATURE AND
INDEPENDENT ADMINISTRATION. AND
SO I HEARKEN BACK TO WHAT- MY
COLLEAGUES COMMENT. THAT I'M
SUPER. I KNOW THE NEED IS THERE
I KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES. ARE
ENCOURAGING US TO LOOK AT THE
QUALITY AND EQUITY RELATED
ISSUES- I'M STILL A LITTLE HARD
PRESSED TO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE
HAVE. HAS THE INSTRUMENTS THAT
ARE CAPABLE OF ADDRESSING THIS
ISSUE. ALREADY WITHOUT
NECESSARILY CREATING A BRAND
NEW COMMISSION- BECAUSE THIS IS
THE ISSUE OF SILO. THINKING CAN
EASILY BE OVERCOME BY AN INTER
DISCIPLINARY DIRECTIVE FROM THE
GOVERNOR WITHIN THE EXISTING
DIVISIONS OF THE STATE RIGHT
NOW THE- BUT THAT WAS THE SITE
OF ON IT THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
OKAY SO I'M YOU KNOW JUST
MAKES- MY COMMENTS YOU KNOW I
TOOK A LOOK AT THIS AND YOU
KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THE
JURISDICTIONS OF THIS
COMMITTEE. IS WHEN WE SET UP
NEW THINGS AND GOVERNMENT
AGENTS AGENCIES COMMISSIONS AT
CENTRE THEY FALL TO OUR
COMMITTEE THIS THIS BILL WILL
BE GOING TO THE JUDICIARY WHICH
WILL BE DOING A DEEPER DIVE IN
ISSUES LIKE THIS. AND FOR A
FRANKLY I WAS MOVED BY THIS
BILL ACTUALLY AS A RESULT OF
THE FACT THAT- THE COST TO THE
STATE IS SO LOW THE SITUATIONS
IN OUR COUNTRY AND- I THINK
EVEN IN OUR STATE. I THINK A
MORE ACCESS TO MORE
UNDERSTANDING OF- THE- THE
RACIAL INEQUITIES OR
DISCRIMINATION OR THE LIKE IN
OUR- IN OUR GOVERNMENT IN OUR
SOCIETY- ANY ATTENTION THAT WE
CAN PUT TO THAT IN A POSITIVE
MANNER. TO CHANGE THINGS THAT
WE DO OR HOW WE ACT- YET ANY
INDIVIDUAL DEPARTMENT TO BE BE
MADE AWARE IT'S PROBABLY NOT
PROBABLY IT'S A POTS THANK SO
WITH THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE DR PAN THANK YOU THANK
YOU- CHAIR DOT AND- I SHOULD
MENTION ALSO JUST- THAT.
THERE'S AN ANNUAL REPORTING
REQUIREMENT AND IN THE BILL
ALREADY SO THAT'S- READY PART
OF THE- THE BILL IN TERMS OF-
BUT MONEY COMMISSIONS DUTIES IS
TO DO ANNUAL REPORT- I WOULD
ALSO DID THANK. THE MEMBERS TO
THE SPOKEN ON THIS BILL I DO
WAY TO. AT ADDRESS THE ISSUE IN
TERMS OF- THEIR COUNTRIES HIS
BECAUSE- I'M A L. A. I'M A OF
IMMIGRANTS BUT I'M PROUD OF
THIS COUNTRY AND THERE'S A
REASON MY PARENTS CAME TO THIS
COUNTRY GREAT. IN FACT OUR
COUNTRY IS FOUNDED ON AN
ASPIRATION NOW WE MAY FEEL THAT
THE IN THE BEGINNING AND WE
SELL A LONG WAYS TO GO BUT WE
OUR ASPIRATION WAS EQUITY INTO
FOUND THE OUR FOUNDING
DOCUMENTS THE DECLARATION
INDEPENDENCE AND- WELL COULD
OF- MAJOR FOR ME THOMAS JESSICA
WORDED A LITTLE BETTER TO
ENSURE INCLUDE ONE AND THEY'LL
TALK ABOUT. EQUITY AND EQUALITY
IN OUR I WOULD MAKE THAT THAT
OUR CONSTITUTION A DOCUMENT
THAT CERTAINLY I HOLD VERY
DEAR- THE PREAMBLE STARTS OFF
WE THE PEOPLE THE UNITED STATES.
IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT
UNION. ESTABLISH INSURED AND
TRANQUILITY PROVIDE FOR THE
COMMON DEFENSE PROMOTE THE
GENERAL WELFARE. RIGHT AND
SECURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY
TO OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY
DO ORDAIN AND ESTABLISH THE
CONSTITUTION THAT STATES SO-
YOU KNOW MARTIN LUTHER KING
JUNIOR SAID THAT THE MORAL ARC
OF THE UNIVERSE BENDS TOWARDS
JUSTICE. AS WE TALK ABOUT
JUSTICE THAT'S IN THE PREAMBLE
TO CONSTITUTION WE ALSO KNOW
THAT UNFORTUNATELY THAT DOES
NOT HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY THAT
HAPPENS ONLY RESULT OF EFFORT
AND EVEN SACRIFICE. SO I WOULD
DO THAT SB SEVENTEEN IS A-
NOTHER STEP. IMPORTANT STEP BUT
ATTENDED A STEP. TOWARD
ACHIEVING THOSE ASPIRATIONS
THAT IDEAL OF OUR COUNTRY
THAT'S EMBODIED BOTH IN OUR IN
OUR FOUNDING DOCUMENTS. AND
THAT WE REALLY ARE ABOUT
CREATING A MORE PERFECT UNION
WHERE. EVERYONE HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES IN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
THAT WE CHIEF ACTITUD CHIEF

YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SB
FOUR SEVENTEEN ALLOWS HERE
COMMON CARRIERS THE ABILITY TO
TRACK IN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
INTO THE STATE FOR THE SOLE
PURPOSE LET ME JUST RESTATE
THAT THE SOLE PURPOSE OF
SERVING THAT ALCOHOL ON THEIR
AIRPLANES WITHOUT THE NEED TO
OBTAIN AN IMPORTER LICENSE.
UNDER CURRENT LAW YOUR COMMON
CARRIERS ALREADY ARE ALLOWED TO
BRING IN ALCOHOL GET TO THE
STATE FOR THAT PURPOSE WITHOUT
THE NEED TO OBTAIN AN IMPORTER
LICENSE HOWEVER CURRENT LAW
REQUIRES THAT OUT THAT ALCOHOL
TO BE BROUGHT IN ON THIS VERY
SAME AIRPLANES. IN WHICH THE
ALCOHOL IS SERVED. GIVEN THE
LOGISTICAL COMPLEXITY OF AIR
TRAVEL THIS GRIEF PROBLEMS FOR
AIRLINES BECAUSE OF THE NEED.
TO PLAY ON THE PATH OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES SO THAT
ENDS UP ON THE CORRECT FLIGHT
AT THE CORRECT PLACE AT THE
CORRECT TIME WHEN IT WILL BE
NEEDED. THIS BILL WILL SOLVE
THAT ISSUE BY ALLOWING AIRLINES
THE ABILITY TO TRACK IN ALCOHOL
FROM OUT OF STATE. THAT'S IT
ELSE'S POINTS OUT THOSE
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES WOULD ONLY
BE ALLOWED TO BE SERVED ON
THOSE AIR COMMON CARRIERS
AIRPLANES IF THOSE ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES ARE USED FOR ANY
OTHER PURPOSE. THESE ARE LIFE
WOULD BE A VIOLATION OF THE APC
ACT. SUCH A VIOLATION WOULD
RESULT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF A.
B. C. HAVING THE AUTHORITY TO
SEIZE THOSE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
AND INDIVIDUALS SHOULD COULD
BE. CHARGED WITH A MISDEMEANOR
I RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. THANK
YOU. AND DO WE HAVE ANY

GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN

GREATLY APPRECIATE HIS
LEADERSHIP AND THAT HE
MENTIONED UNDER CURRENT LAW
AIRLINES NOT MOVING IMPORTED
LIVE ALCOHOL THAT IS BROUGHT
INTO ST PROPHETICALLY FOR YOU
ON THEIR AIRCRAFT THE NARROWLY
DEFINED LIMITED AMOUNT OF
ALCOHOL AMERICAN AIRLINES
BRINGS ABOUT THE WHOLE IN THE
TYPE FIFTY FIVE LICENSEE. SB

THAT ALCOHOL CAN BE BOTH SOLD
OR SERVED ON AIRCRAFT AND ALLOW
FOR FLEXIBILITY AS FIFTY FIVE

YOU HELLO MY NAME IS KAITLYN
KRUGER I'M A PARTNER AT THE LAW
FOR CLEARY HERA PENNSYLVANIA I

OF THE HERE EVERY IN. AIRLINE
YOU NEED TYPE OF RETAIL EIGHT.
AND THAT THEY ARE ALREADY
REGULATED BY THE FEDERAL AGENCY
THE FAA ADDITIONALLY UNLIKE
MOST RETAIL AGENCIES THE
IMPORTATION SALE AND OUR
SERVICE OF ALCOHOL IS NOT THE
PRIMARY BUSINESS OF THE
AIRLINE. THE PRIMARY BUSINESS
OF THE AIRLINE TRANSPORT
PASSENGERS SAFELY. THE TOTAL
VOLUME OF ALCOHOL DISTURBED IN
THE AIRCRAFT IN CALIFORNIA IS
NOMINAL AND ADDED THE TAX
REVENUE GENERATED FROM THE
INVENTORY IN FACT THE TAXES
REMITTED ARE LESS ANNUALLY THAN
THE LICENSING FEES AMERICAN
PAID TO MAINTAIN THEIR TYPE
FIFTY FIVE LICENSE. THE VAST
MAJORITY OF ALCOHOL ORDERED IN
SERVING CALIFORNIA IS FOR CLUB
OPERATIONS AT THE AIRPORT. ALL
ALCOHOL ORDERS FOR THE CLUBS
WILL CONTINUE TO BE PLEASED
WITH AND THE FILLED BY
CALIFORNIA WHOLESALERS. FOR THE
TAXIDERMY INTERVENE ON CHANGE
BECAUSE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL
DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER RETAIL
LICENSEES THE AIRLINES ARE
COMMONLY GRANTED STATUTORY.
EXCEPTIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY.
THESE EXCEPTIONS INTENDED TO
GIVE THE AIRLINES FOR RELIGIOUS
ISSUES. THAT ARE SPECIFIC TO
THE L. SUPPLY. AND NOT TO
CIRCUMVENT THE THREE THAT. WELL
THE EARLY THERE FOR TO A- L. I
THE AIR. THERE ARE PRACTICE
REASONS FOR THE NEED TO IMPORT
ALCOHOL TRUCK SUCH A- THE
LIMITED BALL THEY DID FOR ME TO

DIFFICULT IF. WITH PREDICTING
THE TYPE OF ALCOHOL THAT WILL
BE CONSUMED BY PASSENGERS EN
ROUTE. INCLUDING BEVERAGE
INVENTORY HAS TO BE ABLE TO
MOVE REALLY AROUND THE COUNTRY
IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEVEN

TO JUST OPEN IT UP TO WHERE
MEMBERS. OF THE COMMITTEE
ANYBODY WISHING- CENTER JONES.
THANK YOU SHARE ANSWER GONZALEZ
I HAD- JUST A QUICK QUESTION
IT'S IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE-
EFFORT MY DEEP MIGHT BE
DUPLICATIVE- I DO APPRECIATE IN
CONTRAST TO THE BILL I'M GOING
TO MENTION I DO APPRECIATE YOU
BRINGING IT THROUGH COMMITTEE-
BECAUSE IN TWO THOUSAND
FIFTEEN. THE LEGISLATURE
APPROVED SB EIGHTY FOUR. WHICH
IS ACTUALLY BUDGET TRAILER BILL
WHICH- THE LEGISLATURE APPROVED
IN THE AND THE GOVERNOR AND
GOVERNOR BROWN SIGNED THAT YOU
KNOW PROBABLY DIDN'T I REMEMBER
ALL THE DETAILS THAT BILL BUT
IT PROBABLY DIDN'T COME TO
COMMITTEE SUFFICIENT YOU. DOING
THE- OPPER PROCESS- BUT- SB
EIGHTY FOUR ESTABLISHED THE
OFFICE OF STATEWIDE DIRECTOR OF
IMMIGRATION INTEGRATION. TO
SERVE AS A STATE WIDE LEAD FOR
THE PLANNING AND COORDINATION
OF IMMIGRANT SERVICES AND
POLICIES. THE WORK OF THE
OFFICE IS DESCRIBED AS QUOTE. I
THINK THIS IS MIGHT BE FROM
THEIR WEBSITE OR FROM THEIR
CHARTER I'M EXACTLY SURE WE
HELP IMPROVE ACCESS TO STATE
PROGRAMS AND SERVICES THAT
INCLUDE FOR EXAMPLE DRIVERS
LICENSES. COLLEGE ACCESS ADULT
EDUCATION HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE
TRAINING AND LEGAL SERVICES
WE'RE ALSO EXPANDING SUPPORT
FOR NATURALIZATION TO FULLY
INTEGRATE IMMIGRANTS. AND SO
THE QUESTION WOULD BE I GUESS
IS YOU KNOW WHAT. WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN. THIS AND
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH YES THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THE QUESTION SENATOR
JONES- THAT WAS UNDER THE
GOVERNOR- THE BROWN
ADMINISTRATION BACK IN TWENTY
FIFTEEN. AND IT YOUR IN FACT
CORRECTED DID INCLUDE- A
STATEWIDE DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRANT
INTEGRATION HOWEVER- WITH THIS
NEW ADMINISTRATION. THAT COULD
BE IT'S NOW VACANT THIS
DIRECTOR DOES NOT EXIST SO WE
DON'T HAVE A DIRECTOR CURRENT.
AND WE WANTED TO INCLUDE-
REFUGEES IN THAT TITLE AS WELL
AND ALSO EXPAND THAT TO NOT
JUST IMMIGRANTS BUT REFUGEE
SERVICES. SO THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS THAT IS
ASKING FOR THIS OFFICE THIS
AGENCY AND THEN YOU KNOW WHEN
WE'RE ABLE TO APPOINTED THEY
SHOULD PASS A DIRECTOR. THEY
CAN THEN CREATE OFFICES THAT
WILL WORK IN VARIOUS ARENAS
EDUCATION SMALL BUSINESS AND
ESPECIALLY AS MENTIONED WITH
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE PRO
ACTIVELY WORKING TO OFFER
PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP.
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR US I
THINK YOU HAVE APPRECIATE THAT
AND- RIGHT THE END PLACE TO DO
REMAIN CONCERNED AND IT IS
DUPLICATIVE IN THAT WE'RE
ADDING ADDITIONAL GOVERNMENT-
THERE'S A QUOTE FROM THE SECOND
BE THEY DID EDITORIAL BACK I
BELIEVE IN THE FALL REGARDING
THE UP THIS UPCOMING
LEGISLATION. LEGISLATIVE SEASON
I'LL JUST READ THE QUOTE REAL
QUICK FROM THERE OP ED
CALIFORNIA HAS PIONEERED PRO
IMMIGRANT LAWS. POLITICAL
LEADERS AND ADVOCATES HAVE
DEMANDED THAT CONGRESS OVERHAUL
IMMIGRATION LAW. WHICH I AGREE
WITH BUT IT ALSO- IF BUT IT'S
ALSO IS THAT ISN'T FULLY AND
ABA TO EXISTING AMERICANS. THE
STATE'S PER PUPIL EDUCATION
FUNDING IS AMONG THE LOWEST IN
THE COUNTRY WHICH I DO DISAGREE
WITH- WE HAVE A WE HAVE
ESSENTIALLY THROWN OUT THE
MASTER PLAN FOR PUBLIC HIGHER
EDUCATION. AND WHILE HIKING THE
COST OF PUBLIC COLLEGES WE
CAN'T AFFORD TO MAINTAIN OUR
FREEWAYS THE WAY THEY REQUIRE
AND ARE SYSTEMATICALLY TURNING
THEM INTO FREEWAYS. THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT DISCUSSION FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO HAVE WHEN
RETURNS IN JANUARY. BUT IT IS
ONE THAT MUST TURN TO THE
QUESTION OF FINANCIAL
OBLIGATION SO THAT'S THAT'S THE
KIND OF SUMS UP MY CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL. AND I DO I DO
THINK YOU THOUGH FOR YOUR
COMMENTS AND CONCERNS THANK YOU.
