RETENTION OF DISPLACED WORKERS
IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY.
AND A. B. TWO ONE THREE THE
GOLDEN STATE STIMULUS CLEANUP
WHICH ALSO CONTAINS SOME OTHER
TECHNICAL CHANGES TO HELP
IMPLEMENTED COVERT NINETEEN
SUPPORTS IN OUR SAFETY NET
PROGRAMS. AB EIGHTY FOUR IS A
CONTINUATION OF BUDGET EARLY
ACTIONS TO ASSIST CALIFORNIA'S
ONGOING RESPONSE TO AND
RECOVERY FROM COVERT NINETEEN-
THE HOSPITALITY SECTOR WAS ONE
OF THE SECTORS HARDEST HIT IN
TERMS OF JOB LOSS BECAUSE MUCH
OF IT HAD TO BE CLOSED ENTIRELY
AS WE KNOW FOR EXAMPLE THE-
MUSIC MEANT. PARKS CONVENTION
CENTERS VARIOUS THINGS HAVE HAD
TO BE CLOSED IN THEIR ENTIRETY
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
PANDEMIC. CAUSING SEVEN HUNDRED
THOUSAND JOBS TO BE LOST IN
THAT SECTOR SINCE FEBRUARY
TWENTY TWENTY THE HIGHEST OF
ANY SECTOR WITHIN- WHICH AGAIN
CALIFORNIA. AND SO THE
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WITHIN THAT
SECTOR NATIONWIDE IS TWICE THE
NATIONAL. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.
WOMEN MAKE UP THE LARGEST
PERCENTAGE OF THAT WORK FOR SO
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED
THE REPORTS THAT INDICATE THAT
MORE WOMEN EITHER WERE LAID OFF
OR LEFT THE WORKPLACE DURING
THIS PANDEMIC THAN MEN AND IN
DECEMBER ALONE. WOMEN MADE UP
ENTIRELY THE LAYOFFS FROM. SRO.
FIVE ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT
MANY ECONOMISTS HAVE IS THAT WE
HAVE 80% OF WOMEN WHO MAY NEVER
RETURN TO THE WORK FORCE AND WE
WATCH THE NUMBERS FROM THE
RECESSION WE- THERE WERE MANY
PEOPLE WHO LOST JOBS DURING THE
RECESSION WHO'VE HAD A
DIFFICULT TIME EVER RETURNING
ESPECIALLY WITH OF SALT- FULL
TIME WORK SINCE THAT TIME-
GOVERNOR NEWSOM MADE HIS
ANNOUNCEMENT TO FULLY REOPEN
THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY ON JUNE
FIFTEENTH YOU JUST MADE THAT
RECENTLY. AND OF COURSE THE
HOSPITALITY SECTOR IS INCLUDED
IN THAT. NOW AB SEVENTY NINE
THE BILL- THE BUDGET BILL
JUNIOR ADDRESSES ANOTHER
ONGOING STATE EMERGENCY IN THE
WILDFIRE EARLY ACTION PLAN. AS
WE KNOW WE'RE IN VERY SERIOUS
DROUGHT CONDITIONS WE HAVE HAD
EACH SUCCESSIVE YEAR HAS BEEN
THE WORST WILDFIRE YEAR IN THE
PAST. AND IN THE PAST FEW YEARS
OVER SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION
ADDITIONAL FUNDING HAS BEEN
DEDICATED TO WILDFIRE
SUPPRESSION- MEANING OUTSIDE
GETTING NEW HELICOPTER STATED
YOUR TOTAL TECHNOLOGY LARGE AIR
TANKERS VARIOUS HIRING
ADDITIONAL FIREFIGHTERS. AND
WE'VE SPENT A GOOD AMOUNT OF
MONEY ON SUPPRESSION BUT WHAT
WE NEED TO INVEST IN IS OUR
PREVENTION AND RESILIENCY
EFFORTS. UNDER EACH DOLLAR
INVESTED IN WILDFIRE PREVENTION
WE SAVE SIXTY SEVEN DOLLARS IN
DAMAGES- THIS THE WILDFIRE BILL
IS HAS AN APPROPRIATION OF FIVE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE HUNDRED
AND THIRTY SIX MILLION AND IT
PROVIDES AN IMMEDIATE DOWN
PAYMENT TO HELP THE CREASE THE
SEVERITY OF WILDFIRES. WE WILL
TAKE OUR PUBLIC COMMENT AFTER
WE HEAR ALL THREE OF THE BILLS
SO WE'LL HAVE THE PRESENTATION
AND DISCUSSION ON EACH OF THE
BILLS. OF COURSE EACH BILL WILL
BE PRESENTED INDIVIDUALLY WE
CAN DISCUSS THEM INDIVIDUALLY

CLARIFICATION ON WE HAVE SHOVEL
READY PROJECTS WE HAVE.
FIRESTICK COUNCILS THIS YEAR
ABOUT A CONSERVANCY HAS A
BACKLOG IN MY DISTRICT OF
PROJECTS THAT NEED FUNDING. SO
WE WANNA GET THIS ON THE GROUND
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND MAKE
AND TRY TO GET AHEAD OF THIS
FIRE SEASON IS EXACTLY WHY
WE'RE DOING THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION AND I AND I COMMEND
THE ADMINISTRATION AND ALL OF
THAT LEGISLATORS FOR DOING
THIS. BUT WHO IS GOING TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR LIKE GETTING IT
TO THE GROUND THAT'S THAT'S I
THINK WHAT I THINK IS VERY KEY
IN SO WHO WHICH WHICH AGENCY IS
GONNA THEY GONNA JUST DIRECT
THE MONEY OUT ANOTHER TWENTY
MILLION IN THERE FOR ABOUT A
CONSERVANCY BUT- HOW'S IT GONNA
GO TO THE COUNTY SO THAT WE CAN
WATCH THIS IN THE NEXT. YOU
KNOW FEW WEEKS AFTER THIS PIECE
OF LEGISLATION GETS SIGNED AND
WE CAN ACTUALLY SEE THOSE
SHOVEL READY PROJECTS GET.
STARTED THANK YOU SENATOR I'M
GONNA TURN THAT QUESTION OVER
TO JESSICA MORSE. THANK YOU
SENATOR ABSOLUTELY THIS IS
INCREDIBLY URGENT AND- EVERY
WEEK WE CAN DO WORK OUT OF FIRE
SEASON- MAKES THIS FIRE SEASON
JUST A LITTLE BIT EASIER- AND
WE'RE ALSO SOBRE ABOUT THE
RESULTS WE CAN DELIVER ON
BECAUSE FIRE SEASON IS UPON US
NOW- SO IN HERE YOU HAVE.
PROGRAMS THAT ARE GONNA BE
DIRECTLY DONE BY THE STATE WE
HAVE REQUESTED CONTRACTING
RELIEF TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY
GET PROGRAMS ON THE GROUND-
WITHIN JUST A FEW WEEKS WHERE
IS USUALLY A CONTRACTING
PROCESS WOULD TAKE- MONTHS AT A
TIME AND SO THIS ALLOWS US TO
GO QUICKLY. SO CAL FIRE IS
EXPANDING AND HAND CREWS AND
FUEL CREWS SO YOU SEE THIS
PROJECT START VERY QUICKLY
DEPLOYING NATIONAL GUARD-
CONSERVATION CORPS AND
EXPANDING FUEL CREWS ON THE
GROUND TO DO THESE STRATEGIC
FUEL BREAKS IMMEDIATELY WILL
ALSO BE SEEN THE CALVARY UNIT
FIRE PROJECTS. EXPANDING THOSE
ARE PART OF THE UNIT FIRE
PLANTS AGAIN THOSE WILL BE ON
THE GROUND VERY QUICKLY AND THE
FUNDING FOR STATE PARKS
DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL I LIFE AND
DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION ALSO
HAVE CONTRACTING RELIEF AND SO
WE'LL BE ABLE TO GET THOSE
DOLLARS- TO. THE GROUND SHOULD
PROJECTS- WITH IN JUST A FEW
WEEKS THE REST OF THE PROGRAM
IS- IN GRANT DOLLARS AND WE
ACTUALLY IN AN UNPRECEDENTED
MOVE. GRANT SOLICITATIONS
BEFORE WE HAD THE FUNDING IN
HAND SO THAT WE COULD EXPEDITE
THIS PROCESS AS YOU KNOW- IT
BEAT THE GRANT. THAT MANY OF
LOCAL COUNTIES AND COMMUNITIES
RELY ON THOSE GRANTS TO BE
EFFECTIVE AND SO WE'RE SEEING
THOUGH IS. TO GET ON THE GROUND.
LEE GRANT SOLICITATION ARE
ALREADY OUT WHEN WE GET USED
RESOURCE WILL BE ABLE TO STAY
AWARD THOSE FOR- BUT YOU KNOW
THAT WHILE. CRISIS JUST FIT ME
IN THE BUDGET CRISIS THE BEST
TIME TO BE ABLE TO GET WORK ON
THE GROUND WHEN YOU TYPICALLY
HAVE WHETHER WINDOWS. IS
BETWEEN- JANUARY AND MAY AND SO
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT
WINDOW WE'RE GOING TO START
GETTING WORK ON THE GROUND NOW.
BUT WE'RE HAVING AN
UNPRECEDENTED DRY SEASON WE'VE-
ALMOST DOUBLED THE ACREAGE
BURNED. AS THIS YEAR AS WE HAD
THIS TIME LAST YEAR SO WE ARE
IN A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND
THESE TOOLS WILL BE INCREDIBLY
IMPACTFUL- ND SO HERE THE
CALIFORNIA NATURAL RESOURCES
AGENCY. WE ARE WORKING WITH ALL
OF THESE DEPARTMENTS THAT ARE
GETTING THESE RESOURCES TO
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE
DELIVERING. AN INCREDIBLY FAST
PACE BUT WE HAVE TO BE
REALISTIC THAT. THESE ARE MULTI
GENERATIONAL CRISES CUT
COLLIDING TO CREATE THE FIRE
CRISIS WE HAVE FROM. CHANGE AND
OF COURSE HOW. AND I SO YOU
CAN'T RULE IT BACK JUST IN TWO.
AND SO THIS IS. A FAST
INVESTMENT US A HEAD START AND
SHOULD BIAS RESULTS THAT WE CAN
SEE THIS FIRE SEASON. AND
CUMULATIVE RESULTS THAT WERE
REALLY START SEEING THE IMPACT-
BY NEXT FIRE SEASON. I THANK
YOU FOR THE THOSE COMMENTS I
APPRECIATE THAT- I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL I KNOW
THAT I REPRESENT LEVIN COUNTIES
IT'S A HUGE AREA THAT HAS A LOT
OF OUR CD'S. HAS PARTED CANCELS
HAS THE CEREMONY CONSERVANCY-
AND THEY'RE ALREADY READY TO GO
I MEAN THEY JUST NEED FUNDING
AND SO THAT WAS AND SO I HEARD
A CCC I HEARD KALIFORNIA YOU
KNOW IN IN THEIR PROCESSES AND
THAT'S WHAT. ONE OF MY
FRUSTRATIONS HAS BEEN THAT WE-
IT MONEY IN THE PROGRAM AND WE
CREATE NEW PROGRAMS WHEN
THERE'S PROGRAMS THAT ARE UNDER
FUNDED RIGHT NOW THAT ALREADY
DO THE WORK AND THAT'S THAT'S
WHAT I JUST WANNA BE ABLE TO
TRACK IT BECAUSE I'M GONNA BE
WATCHING THIS. OVER THE NEXT
FEW WEEKS I AGREE WITH YOU WE
ARE WAY BEHIND THE CURVE. THIS
IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET BUT
IT'S ACTUALLY WE'RE DOING
SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY
POSITIVE FOR CALIFORNIA AND-
THE EARLIER WE GET ON THE
GROUND. THE BETTER TO WE HAVE
THE ABILITY TO DO IT IN BEFORE
WE GET INTO FIRE SEASON WHERE
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THESE
PROJECTS WHEN IT'S HOT DROUGHT
TO BECAUSE ACTUALLY DOING THE
PROJECT CAN. CAN CREATE FIRE.
SO I APPRECIATE THAT I'LL BE
WATCHING AS WE GO THROUGH AND-
MAKING SURE THAT WILL HOPEFULLY
WE GET TO THE AGENCIES THAT ARE
ALREADY READY TO DO IT. THE R.
C. D. SIX FIRE SAFE COUNCILS
THE CONSERVANCY'S. SO WE CAN
GET ON THE GROUND. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR DOLLY LET ME
GO TO SENATOR MEN NOW. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH I APPRECIATE THE
EMPHASIS ON HARDENING AND
PREVENTION AND I'M AS A SOMEONE
WHO REPRESENTS ORANGE COUNTY
I'M I'M GRATEFUL YOU MENTION MY
AREA AND AS WE'VE SUFFERED- HI
TWO RECENT FIRES WITH BOND AND
SILVERADO WITHIN ONE MONTH OF
EACH OTHER- I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THE
LOCALIZED NATURE FIRE RISKS-
BUT I WANTED TO. ASK YOU ABOUT-
MY BUDGET REQUESTS FOR A LITTLE
WHILE FIRE- AD PHASE TWO
EXPANSION I UNDERSTAND THE
ALERT WILDFIRE PHASE ONE WAS
SEEN AS TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
SUCCESSFUL- THE INSTALLATION OF
HUNDREDS OF CAMERAS IN. FIRE
PRONE AREAS ACROSS THE STATE
HAS PROVIDED FIRST RESPONDERS
WITH- YOU KNOW EARLY NOTICE OF
WHEN FIRES ARE OCCURRING- AND
THAT'S I THINK SAVED A LOT OF
LIVES SAVED A LOT OF PROPERTY-
BUT FACE TO AS I UNDERSTAND IT
WOULD WOULD PROVIDE DIGITAL
MAPS. THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE THERE
ARE FIRE RISKS WHERE FIRES
MIGHT HEAD- WHERE WE MIGHT
FOCUS OUR FUEL REDUCTION
EFFORTS AND ALSO ALLOWING FIRST
RESPONDERS TO TRY TO. FIGURE
OUT WHERE TO DEPLOY THEIR
RESOURCES WHEN FIRES ARE RAGING
ALL OF THIS I UNDERSTAND WILL
SAVE LIVES AND- THE COST OF
THIS PROGRAM AT TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS- I REALIZE
EVERY BUDGET LINE ITEM IS
DEALING WITH SCARCE RESOURCES
BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE- SOMETHING
THAT IS A NO BRAINER JUST
BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL IT HAS
FOR ALLOWING US TO MITIGATE.
FIRE SO- I GUESS MY QUESTION IS
IT WOULD YOU CONSIDER THAT IN
IN AS WE GO FORWARD I HOPE THIS
COMMITTEE DOES CONSIDER
INCORPORATING THAT PROGRAM AND.
FUNDING IT IS IT'S PART OF OUR
DISCUSSIONS- THANK YOU SENATOR
I GUESS WHAT I WOULD SAY IS
THAT THE SCOPE OF THIS EARLY
ACTION PACKAGE BEFORE YOU IT IS
TO. IS REALLY FOCUSED ON THE
FIRE. BUT IN GETTING THESE
PROJECTS STARTED AS AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY
ARE A NORMAL BUDGET CYCLE- NAY
NO BUDGET CYCLE- WHERE- WE HAVE
THE MAIN REVISION PROCESS THAT
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF- A
DEVELOPING IN THERE WILL BE
FURTHER CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE
TWENTY TWENTY. ONE TWENTY TWO
BUDGET. AND THAT THERE WILL BE.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FURTHER
DISCUSSION ON ADDITIONAL ITEMS
AT THAT TIME. THANK YOU I
APPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU
MANAGER. THANK YOU SENATOR MEN
SENATOR NIELSEN. BUT DO YOU
HAVE A CLARIFICATION OF FINANCE
IF I MAY. IN THE MY- COLLEAGUE
FROM THE COAST AND FROM BEAVER-
WE'RE ASKING ABOUT THE DIRECTED
MONIES TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT I
WANT TO BE IS IT SPECIFICALLY
CORRECT THAT THESE MONIES WOULD
BE DIRECTED TO IN PART. FIRE
SAFE COUNCILS AND RESURS RESURS
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT
WILL THEY BE ACCESSIBLE TO
THOSE ENTITIES. I'D LIKE TO
TURN THE QUESTION OVER JUST
COMMERCE. THE QUESTION SENATOR
YES V. V. PROGRAM- THE REGIONAL
FORTUNE FIRE CAPACITY PROGRAM
AT THE RESOURCE CONSERVATION AT
THE END DEPARTMENT OF
CONSERVATION PARTNERS DIRECTLY
WITH COUNTIES AND RESOURCE
CONSERVATION DISTRICTS AND SO
ONE OF THE MAIN TOOLS WE HAVE
FOR GETTING THEM RESOURCES IS
ENSURING THAT WE'RE GIVING THEM
THE CAPACITY IN THE TOOLS TO
SUCCEED. AND THEN OUR GRANT
DOLLARS FROM THE FOREST HEALTH
PROGRAMS FIRE PREVENTION GRANT
THEN HERE IN DIRECTLY TO THOSE
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO APPLY
FOR THE GRANTS BUT WHAT WE'RE
DOING IS ENSURING THAT THEY ARE
GETTING THE TOOLS TO SUCCEED-
AND SO B. THE PROGRAM PART OF
THE INNOVATION HERE IS THAT. WE
ARE EXPANDING THE EXISTING OUR-
REGIONAL FORCING FIRE CAPACITY
PROGRAM WHICH DOES INCLUDE
SANTA CRUZ ALREADY AND-
EXPANDING IT YOU KNOW COVER
STATEWIDE SO WITH THAT BEING
RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT
AND LOCAL COUNTIES HAVE DIRECT
PATHS TO GET FUNDING- IN
ADDITION TO THE- THAT HELP
SUPPORT AND EXPEDITE OUR GRANT
DOLLARS- AND THIS ALSO GETS
DOLLY WAS RAISING ABOUT SHOVEL
READY PROJECTS THE MAJORITY OF
THE FUNDS IN HERE ARE DIRECTED
EXACTLY TOWARD SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS. THAT THAT IS OUR
CLEAR CRITERIA THAT YOU'RE
NEVADA CONSERVANCY HAS A
HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE MILLION
SHOVEL OVERA HUNDRED TWENTY
FIVE SHOVEL READY PROJECTS
WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE GETTING-
DIRECT FUNDING AND SO I JUST
WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR THAT
FOR THE EARLY ACTION DOLLARS IT
IS GOING TOWARDS SHOVEL READY
PROJECTS AND I'M JUST TRYING TO
EMPHASIZE THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED
TOOLS TO ALSO THEN. SUPPORT
REGIONS IN ACCESSING THOSE
DOLLARS. MORE EFFICIENTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY. THE ANSWERS
QUESTION IN REGARD THE R. C.
D.'S BUT ABOUT THE- FIRE
COUNCIL. WHAT THEY CALL AND
LOCAL. THE FIRE TO ALL OF THESE
GRANTS AVAILABLE TO ANY ENTITY
THE FIRE SAFE COUNCILS ARE
OFTEN RECIPIENT OF THE FIRE
PREVENTION- GRANT FUNDING OF
WHICH THERE'S A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY THREE MILLION I BELIEVE
I'M IN THIS IN THIS BUDGET
PROPOSAL- FOR. FIRE PREVENTION
GRANTS SO THEY ARE PART OF THE
TEAM ON THIS EFFORT AND- AND
ARE WE ARE GIVING THEM SUPPORT
TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THESE
DOLLARS QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY
LET ME FOLLOW UP AGAIN AND- MY
FIEND FROM BEAVERS QUESTION
TO- DO YOU HAVE A TRACKING
SYSTEM. IN PLACE. AS THE MONEY
THAT IS A LOT OF THIS YEAR WILL
THERE BE TRACKING TO SEE HOW
THIS WENT. WHAT THE SUCCESSES
BANNED. ANY ASSESSMENT OF THE
SUCCESS OF THE MONIES. DEALT
OUT TO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.
CERTAINLY ON THE AND WE ALREADY
HAVE TRACKING SYSTEMS FOR THESE
LARGE GRANT PROGRAMS SUCH AS
THE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THREE
MILLION IN FIRE PREVENTION
GRANTS THAT HELP US A REPORT
OUT ON WHAT THE DO YOU AND- AND
HOW THEY ARE DELIVERED THE
REGIONAL ALL OF THESE ENTITIES
ALREADY HAVE. MECHANISMS THAT
TRACK AND THEN WILL BE-
TRACKING IT INTERNALLY AS A
WHOLE PROGRAM AS WELL TO
DELIVER THE RESULTS BUT IT'LL
IT'LL LIKELY BE LOOKING AT.
WHEN YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING AT
HOW DO YOU MEASURE SUCCESS WILL
BE ABLE TO MEASURE THE WORK
THAT'S BEEN DONE AND- THE
ACTIVITIES WE'VE ACHIEVED AND
WHERE THEY ARE- BUT ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL
SUCH AS WE LEARN THE LESSON
WITH LIKE THE THIRTY FIVE
EMERGENCY FUEL. SAVE LIVES FOR
EXAMPLE WE WENT DOWN TO THE
CREEK FIRE WHERE WE HAD FIVE
EMERGENCY FUEL BREAKSTHAT HAVE
BEEN PUT IN WITH THE NATIONAL
GUARD. IN TWENTY NINETEEN IN
RECORD TIME AND THEY SAVE LIVES
AND HOMES AND CREATIVE STATION
ACTIVATION ROUTES DURING THE

THE PANDEMIC. THIS BILL
PROVIDES A STATEWIDE UNIFORM
POLICY FOR THE RECALL OF LAID
OFF EMPLOYEES BY THEIR

PROVIDE THOSE WORKERS WITH AN
OPPORTUNITY TO REGAIN
EMPLOYMENT SPECIFICALLY THIS

RELATED REASONS WITHIN FIVE

MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER TO FORCE THIS BILL.
THANK YOU AND HAPPY AND. ANSWER
QUESTIONS OKAY- LET'S SEE IF
THERE ARE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS%
FROM MEMBERS CENTER NIELSEN.
THE MANAGER OF THIS AND I'M
OBJECTING JUST FOR THE RECORD
THIS IS A MAJOR POLICY BILL
BEING. PUT IN THE GUYS AND I
USE THAT WORD VERY EXPLICITLY
GUYS. OF A BUDGET BILL THE
TRAILER BILL I DON'T THINK IT
IS A TRAILER BILL I THINK IT IS
A POLICY BILL IT SHOULD GO TO
COLLEGE- COMMITTEE THERE ARE
MAJOR POLICY. DECISIONS HERE.
IN THIS LEGISLATION. AND PLEASE
DO ALSO AFFECT BUSINESS AND IN
A MAJOR WAY. THERE ARE
PROVISIONS IN HERE OF THE RETRO
ACTIVE. THE POSITIONS REGARDING
WHO COULD COME BACK TO WORK AND
UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES. AND
IT DOES I THINK AT LEAST
DISCOUNT OF NOT OBVIATE
CONSIDERING MARRIAGE AND THE
RECALL. OF WORKERS. A LOT OF
PROVISIONS IN HERE I THINK. DO
WARRANT THE IN DEPTH SCRUTINY
AND OUR HEARING HERE TODAY
CERTAINLY IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR
THAT PURPOSE. AND NORA
COMMITTEE WHEN WE VOTE NOR IN
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE. STILL
I'M OBJECTING AND I THINK THAT
THERE ARE SOME PROVISIONS IN
HERE THAT I THINK- OUGHT NOT BE.
YOU SEE IF THERE'S THE OTHER
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS SENATOR
LAYERED. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
BUT THOUGHT I BOUGHT HAD SOME
ANGST ABOUT. THIS BILL JUST ON
THE BASIS THAT I AM NOT.
CERTAIN THAT PEOPLE AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL ARE FULLY AWARE OF.
THE FACT THAT THIS IS MOVING-
PARTICULARLY SINCE I KNOW AND-
IT AND NOW ONE OF MY DISTRICT
COUNTIES MONTEREY THERE'S A BIG
DEBATE- ABOUT THIS GOING ON AND
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ANYONE IN
MONTEREY COUNTY AND SO THAT
GAVE ME CONCERNED. I THINK OUR
OUR I ALSO MET A DISADVANTAGE
IN THAT THIS WAS THOROUGHLY
DEBATED- BEFORE I WAS HERE. IN
THE SENATE. AND THE GOVERNOR
VETOED IT BUT HE LAID OUT
THINGS IN THIS BILL CLEARLY
ADDRESSES EACH OF THOSE AFTER
THAT THOROUGH DEBATE WHETHER IT
IS. A SUNSET THAT DIDN'T EXIST
WHETHER IT'S REALLY TIED
COVERED WHICH WAS DIFFERENT
THAN WHETHER IT REMOVES THE
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION SO
WHILE I WISH THIS WAS MOVING IN
A WAY. THAT I COULD HEAR FROM
LOCALS AND THEY WERE FULLY
AWARE OF IT- I THINK THAT THAT
GIVES ME ENOUGH OF A COMFORT
LEVEL TO MOVE IT ALONG. FIVE
SENATOR DOLLY I GOT YOU BUT LET
ME HAVE SENATOR DRAWS SO FIRST
THAT WAS THE NEXT DAY AND I SAW
IT UP. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR- I
JUST WANT TO ADDRESS SOME OF
THE- ISSUES BEFORE US THIS WAS
A BILL THAT WAS FULLY DEBATED
THOROUGHLY DEBATED. LAST YEAR
WHEN WE WERE IN THE WORST PART
I THINK OF OUR OF OUR PANDEMIC
OF CONCERN ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN
WORKERS. THIS INDUSTRY HAS A
OF- SIGNIFICANT IF NOT MAJORITY
WOMEN WORKERS WE KNOW TO STUDY
AFTER STUDY AFTER STUDY THAT
WOMEN WORKERS ESPECIALLY AS
THEY GET A LITTLE BIT OLDER ARE
THE MOST DISCRIMINATED AGAINST
WHEN IT COMES TO. THREE ARE
GETTING THEIR JOBS BACK- AND
THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN NATIONALLY
AS WELL AS IN CALIFORNIA. IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE WOMEN
IN THIS INDUSTRY TO BE ABLE TO
GO BACK TO THE JOB THAT THEY
HELD THAT IT NOTHING MORE
NOTHING LESS JUST GET THEIR
JOBS BACK SO THIS WAS FULLY
DEBATED LAST YEAR IT WENT ALL
THE WAY. TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK
AND THE GOVERNOR RAISED SEVERAL
ISSUES OF CONCERN TO HIM IN THE
VETO MESSAGE ALL OF THOSE
ISSUES HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED IN
THIS BILL ALL OF THOSE ISSUES
FROM- THE LINK THERE IS A
SUNSET IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
LAST YEAR THERE WAS NO. LAWS
SUNSET. SOME OF THE PRIVATE
RIGHT OF ACTION WELL THERE WERE
SEVERAL OTHER OF THE SCOPE THAT
IT HAD TO BE RELATED TO. A
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY LIKE
COVERT NINETEEN. OF THEIR WORDS
NO- IT WAS NOT THAT NARAL LAST
YEAR IS VERY NARROW THIS YEAR.
AND REALLY GOES TO THE HEART OF
THE ISSUE IS. WORKING PEOPLE IN
THE VERY VERY CRITICAL INDUSTRY
TO CALIFORNIA. THOSE MEN AND
WOMEN ESPECIALLY WOMEN- NO
FAULT OF THEIR OWN LOST THEIR
JOBS BECAUSE OF THIS PANDEMIC.
ALL IT'S SAYING IS LET'S ALLOW
THEM TO GO BACK TO THEIR JOBS
LET'S JUST MAKE SURE THEY GET
BACK TO WORK. NOW THE TIMING IS
SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE
OPENING UP OPENING UP WILL
FULLY OPEN UP IN A MATTER OF
MAYBE A COUPLE OF MONTHS. AND
THOSE PEOPLE THOSE WORKERS
THOSE WORKING FAMILIES SHOULD
BE ABLE TO COUNT ON THEIR THEIR
JOBS SO THE URGENCY IS NOW TO
GET THEM ALLOW THEM TO GET BACK
TO WORK- AND I REALLY BELIEVE
THE- THE NARROW SCOPE. IS THAT
THE KEY ELEMENT HERE AND THAT
WE FULLY DEBATED THIS LAST YEAR
SO I REALLY URGE. EVERYONE TOOK
TO LOOK AT THAT AND SUPPORT
THIS OF FOR THE TIMELINESS FOR
THE FOR THE FACT THAT WE FULLY
DEBATED THE FACT THAT IT'S
IMPACTING SO MANY WOMEN WHO
JUST WANT TO GET BACK TO WORK.
THANK YOU MENTION. THANK YOU
SENATOR ALI FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
CAFIERO. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS I WANTED TO SHARE- A
LITTLE BIT EXPERIENCE AS A
BUSINESS OWNER ON JUST
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT
HAPPENED DURING COVERT SO
NUMBER ONE FIRST WE DID A STATE
HOME ORDER EVERYBODY WENT HOME.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALONG
WITH THE STATE GOVERNMENT
ALLOWED. THERE ARE POLICE TO
YEAH WE GET TO UNEMPLOYMENT ONE
OF THE HUGE PROBLEMS WITH
UNEMPLOYMENT APARTMENT WE'VE
ALL DEALT WITH THAT NOT GONNA
GO THERE BUT IS THAT THEY
DIDN'T ASK THE EMPLOYERS. WHEN
THE EMPLOYEES WERE LAID OFF
BECAUSE EVERYBODY WAS LAID OFF
FOR A SHORT PERIOD FOR SURE AND
IN THIS THEY WERE SENT TO
WORKERS- BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS
THAT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GAVE
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS A WEEK AND
THEN. AND THEN THE MAXIMUM I
THINK FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
CALIFORNIA'S. MAYBE FOUR
HUNDRED A LITTLE MORE. SO SOME
OF THESE EMPLOYEES ARE ACTUALLY
MAKING MORE MONEY BY NOT
WORKING. BECAUSE OF THE FEDERAL
INFUSION OF RESOURCES. TO CAUSE
A PROBLEM FOR THOSE BUSINESSES
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO HIRE THE
BACKS OF MANY. BUSINESSES WHICH
I KNOW PERSONALLY- FOR THEIR
EMPLOYEES WOULDN'T COME BACK TO
WORK BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
ABILITY FOR THE E. D. TO
ACTUALLY DIDN'T SAY STOP
QUANTIFYING. TO THE TO THE
EMPLOYERS IF THEY WERE. REALLY
UNEMPLOYED BECAUSE IF YOU OFFER
THEM BACK THEIR JOB. AND THEY
DON'T AND THEY DON'T RETURN TO
THEIR JOB. THEN YOU ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO PAID EMPLOYMENT BUT
THE EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT
DIDN'T. FILL IN THAT LOOP SO A
LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE WORKING
WERE WHY WOULD THEY GO BACK TO
WORK WHEN THEY'RE MAKING MORE
MONEY BY NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF
THE- RESOURCES THAT WERE PUT
IN. TO NOW THIS BILL WE COME WE
FAST FORWARD TO THIS TIME.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO IT WE'RE
GOING TO PENALIZE SOME OF THOSE
EMPLOYERS. BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO
HIRE IN A DIFFERENT I WOULD
TELL YOU IF I OFFERED A JOB
BACK TO MY EMPLOYEE WHO DIDN'T
COME BACK BECAUSE THEY WERE
MAKING MORE MONEY BECAUSE THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND THE
STATE WAS PUT. PASSING OUT
MONEY AND WASN'T VERIFYING. THE
REASON FOR THEM TO LOSE THEIR
JOB. I WOULD NOT WANT TO HIRE
THEM FIRST BECAUSE THEY HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK TO
WORK. AND THEY DIDN'T COME BACK
TO WORK SO MY POINT IS THAT
IT'S UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
BUT IS NOT DEALT WITH. IN THIS
SCENARIO ED BUT IT PENALIZES.
THE BUSINESS OWNERS AND MANY OF
THESE ARE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
THAT ARE VERY STRUGGLING RIGHT
NOW. TRANSMITIDO USES ISSUE
IT'S NOT BEEN TALKED ABOUT BUT
IT'S A FACT. IN ITS IN ITS
REALLY DIFFICULT AS A BUSINESS
OWNER THEY HAVE THE LEGISLATURE
PUSH DOWN THESE RULES. WHEN
YOU'RE BASICALLY TELLING US HOW
TO RUN OUR BUSINESS WHEN
THERE'S- WE HAVE WE COULDN'T
GET THEM TO COME BACK TO WORK
IN THE FIRST PLACE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR CAREER. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR I
HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS BUT I
WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING- I
SUPPORT OF THE BILL LAST YEAR
AND I'M GONNA SUPPORT THE BILL
THIS YEAR BUT THE KEY IS THAT
THAT IS MAKING SURE YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S IN THE BILL.
IT'S BEEN SAID TO ME THAT- PAGA
HAS BEEN- TAKEN OUT OF AND I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE- AT SO THE
FIRST QUESTION I HAVE IS- AND
THAT THERE IS NO PAGA-
PRESCRIPTION IN THE BILL NUMBER
ONE- NUMBER TWO CAN AN EMPLOYEE
BROUGHT BRING A PRIVATE PRIVATE
RIGHT OF ACTION THAT'S NUMBER
TWO AND I'M ASSUMING IF THE
ANSWER IS NO THERE'S NO PAGA IT
NO THERE'S NO PRIVATE RIGHT OF
ACTION THAT IT'S A LABOR
COMMISSIONER THAT'S ENFORCING
THIS AND SO I WANNA MAKE SURE
OF THAT- AND THEN AND THEN.
LASTLY I I'D LIKE TO- THAT
CONFIRM THAT THIS OVERRIDES
LOCAL ORDINANCES- I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL WE ALL
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S WHAT IT
WHAT IT'S DOING I BELIEVE
THAT'S WHAT THE BILL SAYS I
JUST WANT A CONFIRMATION OF
THAT ADAM CHAIR AND THEN I
JUST THINK THE WHOLE PURPOSE
FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY IS THAT- I
NOW THAT WHERE WE CAN MOVE
AROUND A LITTLE BIT I'VE BEEN
ABLE TO TRAVEL AND COMING BACK
AND FORTH FROM HOME TO
SACRAMENTO. THERE ARE HELP
WANTED SIGNS EVERYWHERE AND- I
THINK WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE
WANT TO GET PEOPLE BACK TO WORK
AS QUICKLY. AS POSSIBLE. NOT BE
SLAPPING- BUSINESSES. MAY
INADVERTENTLY. MESS UP AND SO
THAT THAT'S MY ONLY CONCERN IS
THAT- THIS IS KIND OF
PRESCRIPTIVE LIKE I SAID I'VE
SUPPORTED IT IN THE PAST
BECAUSE I REALLY DO THINK THAT
EMPLOYEES ARE TO BE HIRED BACK
BY THEIR EMPLOYERS- IF THEY
WERE DOING A GOOD ENOUGH JOB
BACK BEFORE THE PANDEMIC THEY
THEY NEED TO BE RE HIRED AGAIN-
BUT IF I COULD GET THOSE THOSE
QUESTIONS ANSWERED I APPRECIATE
THANK HURTLING. FAR IN FINANCE
CAN YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR- I'M
GONNA ASK ROBERT- THE LOBOS- TO
HELP ANSWER THAT QUESTION THANK
YOU. HERE ON MUTE. YOU NEED TO
ON ME YOURSELF DANCER. OKAY CAN
YOU HEAR ME NOW YES. OKAY YES
ROBERT THE LOCALS FROM THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
AND- YOU KNOW THE ANSWER TO
BOTH QUESTIONS I THINK IS NOT
ADDRESSED IN THE IN THE
LANGUAGE AND IN THE SECTION
ITSELF AND IT CONFERS EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION- UPON THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER. AND THAT THE
SECTION CAN ONLY BE ENFORCED.
BY A COMPLAINT THAT'S FILED BY.
EIGHTY LAID OFF EMPLOYEE A WITH
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
SO I GOT THAT DONE VERY-
EXPRESSING AND DEFINITE-
LANGUAGE. SPEAKS TO BOTH THE-
THE LACK OF A PRIVATE RIGHT OF
ACTION IN THE IN A FLEXIBILITY
TO. THANK YOU. SENATOR MAN JUST
TO BE SURE THAT- THE BILL- IT.
IS MANDATORY IN TERMS OF THE
ENTIRE STATE AND SUPERSEDES
LOCAL ORDINANCES. YES IT DID IT
WAS DOCTOR LOCAL ORDINANCES-
BUT WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED TO
EXIST HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT
AFFORD ANY PROTECTION THAT
WOULD BE LESS THAN WHAT IS
PROVIDED UNDER STATE LAW SO
THERE IS THEIR DINNER. THEY
WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST ABOUT
WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE
ENFORCED IN A MANNER WHICH
WOULD BE DONE WITH THE-
FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENT
SUPPOSED LACK OF THE STATE.
LANGUAGE C. PROVISIONS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. LET ME SEE VERY
SEE ANY OTHER. MIKE SAID- THE
COMMON I WANTED TO ADD IS THAT-
HI. I THINK IT IS CERTAINLY THE
INTERESTING THING WAS WE'VE
NOTED MORRIS- DESCRIBED IS THAT
THIS IS A SECTOR THAT HAD VERY
HUGE JOB LOSS WHICH OF COURSE
IT WOULD HAVE BECAUSE IT
CLOSED- AND INTERESTINGLY IT IS
ALSO RIGHT NOW THE SECTOR THAT
IS OPENING. MOST QUICKLY. AND
SO THERE THAT IS A THAT GIVES
US THAN A RATIONALE FOR WHY WE
WOULD WANT TO ACT NOW TO HELP
INSURE THAT THOSE EMPLOYEES WHO
AS ONE OF OUR COLLEAGUE STATED
NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN LOSS OF
JOB. NOW HOWEVER. SOME OF THOSE
EMPLOYEES MAY CHOOSE NOT TO GO
BACK RIGHT NOW AND THAT IS
THEIR CHOICE NOW FOR SOME OF
THEM IT MAY NOT BE IN EFFECT
WHAT I WANT TO CALL A. THERE'S
CHOICE AND THEIR CHOICE BUT I
THINK WE- YES IT ON UNDER
EMPLOYMENT WITH THE ADDITIONAL
BENEFITS THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT PROVIDED SOME LOADS
LOW WAGE WORKERS WERE
COMPENSATED DID HIGHER HOWEVER.
THE CHOICE TO GO BACK TO WORK
OR NOT LET'S TAKE FOR EXAMPLESOME OF THE WOMEN IN THE
SECTOR. IS ALSO. DEPENDING ON
WHETHER THEY HAVE CHILDREN AT
HOME. AND WHETHER THERE'S CHILD
CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN AND WE
KNOW THAT THE PANDEMIC ALSO
CLOSED MOSTRO CARE FACILITIES
OR WHETHER SCHOOLS ARE OPEN.
AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE'RE
JUST BEGINNING TO GET OUR
SCHOOLS BACK OPEN. SO WE COULD
FACE A SITUATION WHERE SOME
WOMEN WHEN THEIR EMPLOYER
OFFERS IT BACK TO HIM OR NOT IN
A POSITION TO BE ABLE TO
EXERCISE THE CHOICE. TO TAKE
THE JOB ACT WHICH I THINK WOULD
BE VERY UNFORTUNATE. BUT THERE
IS NOT ANY THEN. RESPONSIBILITY
ON EMPLOYERS IF THE PERSON IS
OFFERED THE JOB AND THEY CHOOSE
NOT TO THE EMPLOYER CAN PROCEED
WITH HIRING SOMEONE ELSE. NOW I
WOULD HOPE THAT IN THAT WE CAN
THESE THINGS CAN ALL KIND OF A
LINE IN THE TRIAL CARE BEGINS
TO GET OPEN AGAIN ALSO. AND I
THINK WE'VE A- WE AND THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN
ACTING TO PROVIDE SOME MORE
FUNDING. IN ORDER TO HELP
ENSURE THAT CHILD CARE SAVING
TO GET CHILD CARE BACK OPEN WE
KNOW THAT WE'VE ACTED TO HELP
OUR SCHOOLS GET BACK OPEN. SO
HOPEFULLY THESE THINGS A LINE.
SO THAT FOR EXAMPLE AND WOMEN
ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT
HAVE AG CHILD. CARE
RESPONSIBILITIES AT HOME BUT
CERTAIN PRIMARILY. HOPEFULLY
THESE THINGS A LINE SO THAT
WHEN PEOPLE ARE OFFERED THEIR
JOBS BACK THEY CAN TAKE THEM.
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT OF
COURSE IS THAT. THEY WOULD BE
OFFERED THEIR JOBS BACK AND GET
THE SAME TYPE OF WAGE. THAT
THEY RECEIVED. PRIOR WHEN THEY
LAID OFF. INTERESTINGLY DURING
THE GREAT RECESSION. OLDER
WORKERS NOW WE'RE TALKING AGES
FORTY FIVE AND ABOVE. WERE LAID
OFF AT A HIGHER RATE. LOWER
WAGE WORKERS NOT AS NOT
EXECUTIVE BUT LOWER WAGE WERE
LAID OFF AT A HIGHER RATE THAN
YOUNGER. AND ON AVERAGE PICKED
UP TO A YEAR TO GET ANOTHER
JOB. COMPARED TO WORKERS WHO
WERE FORTY AND YOUNGER WHO ON
THE AVERAGE TOOK NINETEEN TO
TWENTY WEEKS. THE ADDITIONAL
FACTOR IS THAT THOSE OLDER
WORKERS DURING THE RECESSION
WHO WERE LAID OFF. AND IT TOOK
ON AVERAGE A YEAR TO GET
ANOTHER JOB THERE SAID NEXT JOB
AFTER THAT LONG PERIOD OF
UNEMPLOYMENT WAS AT A FAR LOWER
WAGE THAN THEIR PREVIOUS JOB
NOT SO WITH THE YOUNGER
WORKERS. SO WHEN YOU IMAGINE I
THINK ANY OF US AS WE GET.
CLOSER TOWARDS RETIREMENT. WE
ARE HOPING THAT WE ARE NOT
GOING BACKWARDS IN TERMS OF
OUR- INCOME OR CONTRIBUTIONS TO
SOCIAL SECURITY SINCE THAT IS
WHAT'S GOING TO BE OUR
RETIREMENT SECURITY. SO I THINK
THIS WHEN WE LOOK AT. WHAT
HAPPENED DURING THE GREAT
RECESSION AND IF WE WANT TO TRY
TO PREVENT SIMILAR CONSEQUENCES
AS TO NOW AND WHEN WE ALSO LOOK
AT THE MANY OF THE WOMEN IN
THIS CATEGORY OF WORK. FIVE NOT
IN ALL CASES BY ANY MEANS BUT A
LOT OF THEM ARE THE SOLE HEAD
OF HOUSEHOLD AND HAVE DEPENDENT
CHILDREN. SO THEY'RE- EITHER IF
THEY DO NOT GET BACK INTO WORK
WHERE THEY ARE PAID COMPARABLE
TO WHAT THEY WERE BEFORE. AND
ALSO HAVE GREAT IMPACTS ON
THEIR CHILDREN SO. FOR THOSE
REASONS I WILL BE SUPPORTING.
THIS LEGISLATION AND I
APPRECIATE THAT IT IS BEEN
NARROWED AND HAS A SUNSET AND
ALSO WOULD ONLY GOING TO
AFFECT. INSIDE IN RELATION TO
THE SERIOUS EMERGENCIES LIKE
THIS PANDEMIC. MILANESI SAID A
CENTER RECORDS COULD YOU HAVE
YOUR MAKE UP. NO OKAY I THOUGHT
I SAW MIKE UP. AS SENATOR- CHAU
BOOK. GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEAK I JUST HAVE A QUICK
QUESTION- RIGHT. IS THERE A
REASON WHY- THIS BILL DOES NOT
PROVIDE A RIGHT TO Q. WERE FOR
EMPLOYERS PRIOR TO GOING
STRAIGHT TO PENALTIES OF UP TO
SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS. PER
EMPLOYEE PER DAY AND ENFORCED
BY THE LABOR COMMISSIONER- I
UNDERSTAND THAT HALF OF THE
LOCAL ORDERS ON THIS PARTICULAR
TOPIC ALLOW FOR A FIFTEEN DAY
RIGHT TO CURE- THAT WOULD AT
LEAST BE A REASONABLE STEPS TO
BEGIN WITH. THE BERMAN OF
FINANCE WOULD YOU LIKE TO
ADDRESS THAT. YES LET ME TURN
IT OVER TO- ROBERT VILLA LOBOS-
WELL WE PRETTY MUCH YOU TO
REVIEW THE JOB THE BILL. IN A
LANGUAGE AS YOU KNOW WELL AS IT
IS AND- ONE OF THE THINGS WE
DID NOTICE THAT THERE WERE
LOCAL ORDINANCES THAT WOULD
PROVIDE FOR THE- RIGHT TO KEEP
YOUR- THE ONE ASPECT OF IT I
THINK THAT PRESENTS PROBLEMS IS
THAT IT IMPOSES A REQUIREMENT.
ON WORKERS TO YOU KNOW TO
COMPLY TO INITIATE- YOU KNOW HE
THEIR OPPORTUNITY TO BE
REHIRED. AND THAT YOU KNOW CAN
BE PERCEIVED AS A AS A SOMEONE.
ONEROUS REQUIREMENT FOR LOW
WAGE WORKERS AND GOD SAW THAT
THE YOU KNOW THE ABSENCE OF
THAT LANGUAGE YOU KNOW IN THIS
BILL YOU KNOW SEEM TO. BE MORE
APPROPRIATE- THAT IS THAT IS A
SENSE THAT- YOU KNOW OUR OFFICE
SADDAM HAD WITH RESPECT TO THE
ABSENCE OF A RIGHT TO CURE
PROVISION. SENDER TERRIBLE YOU
HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION I WOULD
YES MADAM CHAIR FRED- SO WOULD
IT BE. WOULD IT BE BEST-
PERHAPS PURSUED FROM AN
EMPLOYER'S PERSPECTIVE TO. C.
OR REQUEST A MEANS OF- HAVING
A- THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE
RIGHT TO CURE AB A REQUEST I
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE
STATING THAT YOUR CONCERN WAS
FROM THE EMPLOYEES- PROVOCATIVE
BEING THAT I HAVE A AN EXTRA
STEP TO TAKE WOULD IT BE BEST
IF IT WAS- STARTED FROM THE
EMPLOYERS. SPECTATOR INGLE. I
WOULD. WELL I MEAN WE REALLY
WORK LOOKING AFTER YOU KNOW THE
SPECIFIC PROBLEM YOU KNOW
POLICY- WELL YOU KNOW PROS AND
CONS IN TERMS OF WHAT COULD BE
UTILIZED TO YOU KNOW TO. ADD TO
THE EXISTING PROVISIONS OR THE
CURRENT PROVISION OF THE BILL-
IT IS SO WHICH IS IT WE WERE
LOOKING AT IN TERMS OF JUST
WHAT. YOU KNOW WHAT WHAT EXISTS
AND- YOU KNOW SAW THAT THERE
WAS SOME IT WAS A REASONABLE
POSITION TO HAVE- OR WERE TO
NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CURE
PROVISION IN THE BILL- SO ARE
YOU HI. I JUST UNABLE TO REALLY
ANSWER WHETHER- THAT COULD BE
VIEWED AS YOU KNOW BY OTHERS-
INCLUDING THE LEGISLATIVE BODY
AS AS BEING THAT THE POLICY-
TATE YOU KNOW FOR. THAT ISSUE.
IF I COULD TO SAID QUICKLY ED
MR LOS DOESN T. ISN'T MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE
PROCESS FOR THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER IS A QUICK
RESOLUTION TO COMPLAINTS AND
GIVEN THAT THIS IS A SHORT
DURATION IS THAT WHAT MIGHT
THAT HAVE BEEN CERTAINLY SHE
COULD SPEAK TO THAT PROCESS
BECAUSE NEEDED YES YES YES WITH
THAT THAT'S CERTAINLY- YOU NO
LONGER WOULD FACTOR IN AND
UNDER THE AFORESAID PROVISIONS-
YOU KNOW AGENTS IN TERMS OF OUR
FEEL GOOD FOR SPENT WHERE. WE
WOULD BE LOOKING TO ENFORCE THE-
PERHAPS THIS PENALTY OR LIQUID
DAMAGES. R. ONCE OUR OFFICE
RECEIVES A COMPLAINT. THERE
THERE'S EARLY INTERVENTION- WE
WOULD BE CONTACTING THE
EMPLOYER YOU KNOW WE- WOULD
ALSO IS PART OF OUR TOOLS OF
FROM. THE PRECEDING WE CAN
ISSUE A NOTICE TO DISCONTINUE
OUR PRIOR TO. ACTUALLY
DETERMINING WHETHER K A
CIVIL PENALTY AND LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES IS THE APPROPRIATE
REMEDY- IN THE CONTEXT OF THE
FILING OF A CLAIM FOR
INDIVIDUAL RELIEF SUCH AS THE
REINSTATEMENT OF THE FRONT AND
THE BACK HEY YOU KNOW THE- THE
VALUE OF THE BENEFITS. BUT
AGAIN YOU KNOW. ONCE THE
COMPLAINT COMES TO US NO THERE
WOULD BE A NOTIFICATION TO THE
EMPLOYER- THAT THERE WAS AN
INVESTIGATION YOU KNOW. AND
HOMES SOLD YOU KNOW IN BOTH
CASES THERE'S A REASONABLY.
QUICK OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
EMPLOYER TO. YOU KNOW TO- HIGHS
YOU KNOW IT ITS LIABILITY WITH
RESPECT TO THE INDIVIDUAL
RELIEF. FOR A VOID PERHAPS YOU
KNOW THE- CIVIL PENALTY
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BY BEING
INFORMED THAT- THAT THEY NEED
TO COMPLY. MR LEWIS'S GIVEN
THAT SENATOR OCHO BOOKS
QUESTION WAS ABOUT THE RIGHT TO
CURE AND PLEASE CORRECT ME IF
I'M WRONG BUT MY THINK MY
UNDERSTANDING IS ISN'T THE
RIGHT PICTURE ASSOCIATED WITH
PROGRESS. IN THE- THE RIGHT OF
THE EMPLOYEE TO SUE AND ISN'T
THE ELIMINATION OF PAGA MEANING
THE FACT THAT THIS BILL THIS
ELIMINATES THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE
THAT RIGHT DOES THE EMPLOYEE
DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE.
THAT THAT IS A FACTOR IN
WHETHER YOU NEED WHETHER THE
RIGHT THE- TIME IS NECESSARY.
WELL CERTAINLY THERE ARE
PROVISIONS IN PART ABOUT WHICH-
YOU KNOW WHICH ARE CURABLE.
BEHIND SO AND I NOTICE WOULD
HAVE TO GO YOU KNOW WELL BE
MADE TO THE EMPLOYER- AND THAT.
SHOULD MAYBE THAT ONE OF THE
UNDERLYING. PRINCIPLES OR
CONCEPTS THAT- LOCAL ORDINANCES
WERE LOOKING AT- PRIOR TO
IMPOSING LIABILITY- SO YOU YES
I THINK THE ABSENCE OF. ANY
OBJECT ABILITY TO PAGO- YOU
KNOW- IS IT SOMEWHAT TELLING-
AND SO. I WOULD SAY THAT THAT'S
YOU KNOW THAT CERTAINLY WOULD.
BE A FACTOR- SENATOR JOE BERGIN
CAN HAVE THE FLOOR AGAIN I JUST
I WAS TRYING TO SINCE YOU ASKED
ABOUT THE RIGHT TO CURE I
THOUGHT. PERHAPS HE HAD NOT
THOUGHT ABOUT THAT ASPECT BUT-
I WASN'T SURE IF MY INFORMATION
WAS CORRECT OR NOT BUT POLICE
YOU HAVE THE FLOOR IF THERE'S
ANY OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS.
MADAM CHAIR THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ASSISTANCE ACTION APPRECIATE AS
A FRESHMAN SENATOR HERE FOR SHE
AND FEEDBACK AND SUPPORT FROM
ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES. IN
CONVEYING MY QUESTIONS AND MY
IDEAS SO THANK YOU- SO IJUST
WANT TO JUST FOR CLARIFICATION
PURPOSES WANT TO MAKE SURE I
ABSOLUTELY AGREE. I UNDERSTAND.
THIS W STILL HAVE WITHIN THIS
BILL THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
BUSINESSES TO. HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY WITH THE ABILITY
TO- BASICALLY. MEET WHATEVER
THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE- WOULD
YOU SAY THE CLAIM WOULD BE
BEFORE ANY PUNITIVE- MEASURES
ARE IMPLEMENTED OUR PURSUIT. DO
YOU THINK WOULD IN SO FAR AS AS
I AS I PREVIOUSLY- EXPRESS IT
WOULD BE YOU KNOW HOW THE PARTY
NOTIFICATION TO THE EMPLOYER-
OF A COLORFUL VIOLATION OR
POTENTIAL VIOLATION THAT WE
WOULD BE INVESTIGATING. AND HOW
TO THAT EXTENT THAT MAY FOR
CLOTHES OR- WORSE CERTAINLY TO
BE CONSIDERED IN EVALUATING
WHETHER THE LABOR COMMISSIONER
WOULD PROCEED TO COLLECT THIS
CIVIL PENALTY A LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES- WITH RESPECT TO THE-
INDIVIDUAL RECOVERY ON THE
REINSTATEMENT- AS WELL AS THE
BACK PAY YOU KNOW THAT. WOULD
BE SOMETHING THAT- THEY WOULD
CERTAINLY BE A TO. ANY SORT OF-
ACTUAL DAMAGES THAT LABOR
COMMISSIONER MIKE RECEIVE
AGAINST THE EMPLOYER. BUT YOU
KNOW WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT. THE
NOTIFICATION CAN MINIMIZE THIS
AND IN THAT WE REALLY ARE ARE
TRYING TO MOVE TOWARDS THE
UNDERLYING INTENT OF THE BILL
WHICH IS TO. IT'LL FORD. PLAYED
OFF WORKERS THE OPPORTUNITY. TO
YOU KNOW NEEDS TO BE REAPPLIED
INCOMPLETE. WITH HER FORMER
EMPLOYER. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
WELCOME SENATOR NIELSEN. NOPE
MANAGER I'M GOING TO RE VISIT
THE POLICY ISSUE OF. A
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES
TALKED AT LENGTH HEALTH
THOROUGHLY THIS WAS DEBATED
LAST YEAR. AND THAT WOULD BEEN
AS A POLICY BILL I'D LIKE TO
ASK THEN FINANCE WHY IS THE
ADMINISTRATION ADVANCING THIS
NOW AS A TRAILER BILL RATHER
THAN AS A POLICY BILL. I'M
GONNA HAVE TO TURN THAT OVER TO
YOU- CHRIS COOK. GOOD MORNING
CHRIS COOK WITH DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE- CENTER NIELSEN TO YOUR
QUESTION AND AS PREVIOUSLY
STATED- SB EIGHTY FOUR IS VERY
SIMILAR TO THE BILL THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED LAST YEAR AB
THIRTY TWO SIXTEEN. WHICH WAS
AGAIN SUBSEQUENTLY VETOED BY
THE GOVERNOR- IN THIS MESSAGE
THE GOVERNOR SHARED HIS
CONCERNS AND ASK THAT THE
LEGISLATURE CONSIDER OTHER
APPROACHES- SO THAT THAT NO
WORKERS ARE LEFT BEHIND- AS THE
ECONOMY REOPENS AND AS WE'VE
KIND OF NOTED SEVERAL TIMES
THIS MORNING. THAT YOU KNOW THE
ECONOMY IS HOPEFUL THAT'LL BE
REOPEN IN THE COMING MONTHS AND
SO AFTER DISCUSSIONS- MANY OF
THOSE CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED IN
THIS BILL- A BEAUTY FOR WHICH-
AS NOTED- BY A COUPLE MEMBERS
THIS MORNING THAT WAS
THOROUGHLY DEBATED. LAST YEAR-
MORE SPECIFICALLY THOSE THOSE
THOSE- ELEMENTS THAT WERE
ADDRESSED IS THE ELIMINATED-
THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE
EMPLOYEE TO YOU KNOW PROVIDE
CERTAIN. INFORMATION AND THEN
ALSO IT NEARLY DEFINE THE
COLGATE- STATED THE MARGIN C.
AS BEING THAT THE TARGET FOR
THIS SO IT VERY NARROWLY-
CRAFTED AT AB EIGHTY FOUR. I
THANK SIR BUT I UNDERSTAND
DEATHS IN THERE IRRELEVANT
ANSWER. WHATEVER HAPPENED LAST
YEAR DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS
YEAR. WHAT FLIES AND WHAT
COUNTS IS WHAT WE DEAL WITH NOW.
AND WHAT THE BILL DOES SAY IN
THE PROCESS THROUGH WHICH IT.
TRANSCEND TRANSCEND THE PROCESS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
GOING TO REQUIRE ME TO GO TO
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL AND GET A
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OPINION.
I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH THE
RESPONSE. LET ME SEE IF THERE'S
ANY MORE. MIKE SUB CENTER
CORTESE. WE CAN MANAGER I JUST
SAW A WONDERFUL- PHONE- MY
COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS REGARDING.
RIGHT TO CURE THE BILL IT READS
LIKE A STRIP CLUB BILITY.
PROCESS AS OPPOSED TO A RIGHT
TO CARE BUT I'M NOT FAMILIAR
WITH THE. THE GENERAL
ADMINISTRATION- OR PROCESS TO
PROCESS THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE WOULD USE
SO. I THINK SOME OF. SOME OF
OUR COLLEAGUES HAVE RAISED THE
ISSUE OF. NUANCE OF YOU KNOW
SHOULD NOT GOING AFTER FOLKS
WHO ARE- BUT PERHAPS HAVE
CHANGED OUR BUSINESS MODEL HAVE
SOME SORT OF. ISSUE BEYOND.
WHAT THE COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE
KOHLI NOW ON V. P. N. PLEASE
COMPLAIN. IN A I DON'T KNOW IF-
IF- LABOR COMMISSIONER I MEAN
OF THEIR LABOR COMMISSION
REPRESENTATIVE CAN. VERY
QUICKLY AND IF IT CAN'T BE DONE
QUICKLY I SUPPOSE IT WOULD BE
HELPFUL INFORMATION TO HELP
OFFLINE WE'RE VOTING TODAY SO
I'D PREFER TO HEAR IT NOW. YOU
KNOW A SORT OF A THREE MINUTE.
OVERVIEW OF. OF WHAT THE
PROCESS. WOULD IT WILL ACTUALLY
DO COMPLAINT COMES IN WE KNOW
THAT PART- I'M NOT CLEAR AFTER
THAT WHETHER A COMPLIANCE ORDER
IS THEN ISSUED- TO THE EMPLOYER.
WHETHER RIGHT TO A HEARING IS
ISSUED. AND IF SO. ARE THEY AT
THAT POINT. JUST PUSHING BACK
ON ON WAGES OR DO THEY STILL
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
THE ENTIRE PENALTY VITIATED
DURING DURING THAT PROCESS MEET
SOME FROM GETTING THERE HAS TO
BE SOME ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS.
PRISON MINIMUM THE MINISTRY OF
LAW PROCESS SOME KIND OF A
HEARING. A BASED ON ASSUME SOME
KIND OF A COMPLIANCE ORDER. I
DON'T WANT TO ATTEMPT. TO
CONFUSE THINGS HERE MYSELF BY
TRYING TO CREATE A PROCESS I
JUST LIKE TO HEAR. WHAT IS THAT
PROCESS AND AT WHAT POINT. IT
DOES- A MISUNDERSTANDING OR
MISAPPLICATION. OF THE
COMPLAINT PROCESS- GET GET AN
EMPLOYER OFF THE HOOK ON. ON
THE PENALTIES THAT ARE CALLED
OF LEGISLATION WHICH IN THE
LEGISLATION AGAIN LOOKALIKES
FOR GLOBAL BE PENALTIES. YES
LIKE I COULD I COULD SPEAK TO.
YOU KNOW TO- THAT TO IN IN THE
RESPECT THAT THE ENFORCEMENT-
PROVISION IN THE BILL. REFERS
TO EXISTING ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISMS THAT THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER HAS HISTORICALLY
UTILIZED- ENDED IN THE
IMPLICATES THE YOU KNOW TWO OF
OUR INVESTIGATIVE PROGRAMS- AND
THAT IS OUR FEELING PERCENT
PROGRAM- AS WELL AS THE HER
RETALIATION COMPLAINT
INVESTIGATION UNIT. BOTH
DOUBLED- THEIR RESOURCES TO.
INVESTIGATION AND- THAT
INVESTIGATION IS THE SPEAKING
TO THE PARTIES INVOLVED WHETHER
THAT BE YOU KNOW THE CURRENT
EMPLOYER OR A SUCCESSOR
EMPLOYER UNDER THIS BILL.
CANADA MINISTRY DETERMINATION
WOULD THEN BE MADE INDICTED
MINISTRY DETERMINATION WOULD BE
IN THE FORM OF A CITATION IT
WAS ISSUED BY OUR FIELD
ENFORCEMENT UNIT. OR IT WOULD
BE. DETERMINATION UNDER- THE-
ACTUALLY NINETY EIGHT POINT
SEVEN UNDER THE RETALIATION
COMPLAINT. PROCESS SO- THERE
WOULD BE A FINDING AND KNOWS
WHAT CONSTITUTES ADMINISTRATIVE
FINDINGS.AND ON THE SURFACE
CITATION FRONT. OF THE EMPLOYER
CAN THEN REQUEST A HEARING.
BEFORE THE HEARING OFFICER SAID
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER'S UNIT.
WHO WOULD ISSUE A
DETERMINATION- AFTER HEARING
EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY BOTH
SIDES THAT IS ALSO SUBJECT TO
REVIEW BY A COURT IF AN
EMPLOYER. IS UNSATISFIED WITH
pINDIVIDUAL RELIEF- ARM ABOVE
THE REMEDIES UNDER THIS
SECTION. OF THE DETERMINATION
THAT WOULD BE ISSUED BY THE%
LABOR COMMISSIONER- WOULD BE
SENT TO THE EMPLOYER ANY
SUCCESSOR EMPLOYERS THAT. ARE
APPROPRIATE. AND THEN YOU KNOW
IN ORDER TO ENFORCE THAT WE
WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT YOU KNOW
IN- IN SUPERIOR COURT IN ORDER
TO. YOU KNOW TOO WELL AND FORCE
THAT ADMINISTRATIVE
DETERMINATION. SO BECAUSE-
EXISTENTIALLY DUE PROCESS THAT
WOULD BE EMBODIED IN THE FUTURE
JUST A POLL QUESTION MR THE
LOBOS IS IT YOUR- UNDERSTANDING
OF. THE PROCESS THAT YOU JUST
DESCRIBED THAT THE HEARING
OFFICER WOULD RETAIN ULTIMATE
DISCRETION OVER. WHETHER
PENALTIES. OUR KERN FORCED OR
NOT THE SYSTEM FORCE OR NOT IS
THAT HEARING OFFICER IN YOUR
MIND TO DO THIS BILL STILL
RETAIN. DISCRETION TO MAKE A
DECISION. ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW
THE HEARING OFFICER HIS YOU
KNOW FUNCTIONS YOU KNOW WHAT IT
INDEPENDENT OF THE
INVESTIGATION SO THEY WOULD BE
BASING THEIR DETERMINATION NO
ON THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY
BOTH PARTIES- AT THE AT THE AT
THE HEARING. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH THANK YOU MANAGER. THIRTY
FIVE A QUICK CLARIFICATION YOU
YOU REFERENCE THE HEARING BUT
AT THE POINT A COMPLAINT IS
FILED THIS IN THE FIELD NEED
THE EMPLOYER IS INFORMED AND
THE EMPLOYER HAS THE ABILITY TO
PROVIDE INFORMATION TO THE- THE
FIELD. IN OTHER WORDS IT IS IT
IT ISN'T NECESSARILY ALL THE
WAY TO THE PROCESS OF A HEARING
BEFORE THE EMPLOYER IS ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WHAT CARTERET
RESPOND OKAY THAT'S WHAT I WANT
TO MAKE SURE SO THERE'S ALWAYS
THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU
WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE A HEARING
THAT IN OTHER WORDS. LET'S SAY
I MAKE THE COMPLAINT AND THE
FIELD INVESTIGATORS INVESTIGATE
THE EMPLOYER SUBMITS
INFORMATION THAT THE
INVESTIGATOR FEELS- CONTRADICTS
THAT WHICH WAS PROVIDED THE
COMPLAINT DEPENDING ON HOW YOU
KNOW THE EXTENT OF THAT- THE
THOROUGHNESS OF IT THE FIELD
INVESTIGATOR COULD DENY A
WITHOUT NECESSARILY IT HAVING
TO GO TO A HEARING. IS NEXT SIR.
YES YES THAT IS CORRECT. SAGAY
YOU KNOW HIS HIS. YOU KNOW
BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER OBTAINS.
AND THE SELECTED REDUCE. ORDERS
RIGHT. RIGHT CENTER CORTESE
CERTAINLY IF YOU HAVE
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS GO AHEAD.
HELLO YOU KNOW THE ONLY
QUESTION OTHER QUESTION I HAVE
THANK YOU FOR IT FOR ASKING
DONE I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SEE
THE FLOOR HERE OF MR VIDEO
LOBOS IS- TO UP TO WHAT EXTENT.
HAS THE LABOR COMMISSIONER'S
OFFICE BEEN ABLE TO TWO-
CALCULATOR ANTICIPATE- SB
NEEDED- YOU KNOW TO YOU KNOW TO
BASICALLY EXECUTE ON THIS
PROGRAM- IF THIS BECOMES LAW
AND I. LET ME JUST PUT KNOW
THAT AND SAY I THINK WE ALL
UNDERSTAND- THAT THOSE
PROJECTIONS WOULD BE
SPECULATIVE- AT BEST BUT I'M
I'M JUST WARNED IF. HE WERE
OFFICES RUN THROUGH ANY
CALCULATIONS ON THAT AT ALL IN
TERMS OF JUST HER OWN CAPACITY
TO KEEP UP WITH THE POTENTIAL
OF DEMAND THE APPLICATION
PROCESS. THAT THAT WE MIGHT
ANTICIPATE FROM THE SAW. THANK
YOU JUST GENERALLY STATE TO
THAT YOU KNOW WITH THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER RECOGNIZES THAT-
FOCUSED RESOURCES WOULD HAVE
TO. YOU KNOW BE APPLIED HE WENT
OVER TO COMPLEMENT THIS BILL
WILL BE GIVEN THE- THE CLEAR
INTENT OF IT. HANDS HE DOES
THAT WOULD REQUIRE US TO YOU
KNOW- PRIOR TOR PRIORITIZE
COMPLAINTS BY WORKERS IN THIS
INDUSTRY- THAT IT WILL. GET
INVOLVED IN A PUBLIC OUTREACH.
NO LONGER YOU KNOW TO INFORM
BOTH THE EMPLOYEE AND EMPLOYER
COMMUNITIES. OF FONG. ABOVE
THESE RECRUITMENT REQUIREMENTS.
AND OTHER WE WOULD HAVE TO
CLEARLY PUT ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU
KNOW- DIRECTION. FAQS WHICH
WOULD- YOU KNOW PROVIDE A YOUNG.
SOURCE FOR THE POP TO CONSOLE
AND IN DETERMINE THEIR-
OBLIGATIONS AND- RIGHTS UNDER
THE STEEP SECTION- FIGURE AGAIN
FUTURE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'VE
DONE SOME WORK ON THAT I GUESS
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR IS WHETHER
OR NOT YOU ANTICIPATE THE NEED
FOR AUGMENTATION. OR NOT AT
THIS POINT- COLLEAGUES AT THE.
LET ME REPHRASE THE FRIEND THAT
IS A QUESTION DO YOU NEED
AUGMENTATION TO KEEP UP WITH
THE DEMAND OF THIS PROGRAM
THERE IS AN APPROPRIATION IN

ASSUMING THAT THEY'VE MADE SOME
ESTIMATION OF WHAT THEY FELT
MIGHT. WHAT ADITIONAL
RESOURCES THEY MAY NEED LIMIT

JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
WE CAN OFFER LET ME PAUSE AND
SAY I DON'T TRYING TO- DRAW
THIS TODAY'S HEARING OUT ANY
FURTHER THAN WE NEED TO WE'RE
TRYING TO MOVE THINGS FORWARD I
THINK I PERSONALLY THAT'S MY
INTENT. ON THE OTHER HAND THERE
CERTAINLY BEEN A CHALLENGE AT
TIMES DURING COLD RESPONSE
HELLO FOR THE STATE TO
ESSENTIALLY PROHIBIT OR TURN ON
A DIME IN IT CAN RAMP UP THE F.
T. E. THAT'S NECESSARY- TO DEAL
WITH- LAWS THAT CAN EVEN

THIS BILL MICROMANAGES HOW AN

AN EMPLOYER IN VIOLATION OF ANY
OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE
CONTENT THE INTENDED TO PROVIDE
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER WITH
DISCRETION WE THINK THE
