EVERYBODY'S UP AND WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
OTHER ENGAGEMENTS AND AS A- THE
CONSIDERATION OF THIS BILL AND-
AS WE ALL KNOW- MISTER CHAIR-
YOU'LL WILDFIRES HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN A PART OF LIFE HERE. IN
OUR STATE OF CALIFORNIA YOU
KNOW AS- OUR STATE BRACES FOR
THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER- A
DEVASTATING FIRE SEASON NO
RECENT WILDFIRES AS TO SIX HAVE
BEEN STAGGERING- A RECENTLY
PUBLISHED A WILDFIRE SMOKE
STUDY FOUND THAT TINY PARTICLES
RELEASED IN WILDFIRE SMOKE OR
UP TO TEN TIMES. MORE HARMFUL
TO HUMANS. ARTICLES RELEASE
FROM OTHER SOURCES SUCH AS CAR
EXHAUST FACTORIES OR- OUR
PLANTS YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T TAKE
MUCH TO REMEMBER THE WILDFIRE
CONDITIONS FROM LAST YEAR AND
FROM PRIOR YEARS WHEN SKIES
WERE ORANGE THE AIR WAS FILLED
WITH TXIC LEVELS OF SMOKE. AND
CALIFORNIANS WELL WE WERE
ADVISED TO STAY INDOORS TO
AVOID OUTDOOR ACTIVITY. AND
WHILE MANY OF US HAVE THE
LUXURY TO SHELTER INDOORS OUR
FARM AND AGRICULTURAL WORKERS
REMAIN OUTDOORS AND SMOKY
FIELDS IN ORCHARDS. TO PICK
CROPS THAT HELP FEED CALIFORNIA
AND OUR COUNTRY. SO THIS
LEGISLATION SENATE BILL SEVENTY
THREE SIX TO BUILD ON CAL OR
OSHA'S STANDARDS FOR PROTECTING
FARMING AGRICULTURAL WORKERS
FROM WILDFIRE SMOKE AN
UNHEALTHY AIR QUALITY
CONDITIONS. UNFORTUNATELY
DESPITE HAVING THIS FIRST IN
THE NATION EMERGENCY WILDFIRE
SMOKE STANDARD. MANY FARMING
AGRICULTURE WORKERS DIDN'T GET
TO THE WORKPLACE PROTECTION
THEY NEEDED LAST YEAR. YOU KNOW
THE COMBINATION OF A GLOBAL
PANDEMIC AN UNPRECEDENTED
NUMBER OF WILDFIRES. THEY PUT
AN ENORMOUS STRAIN ON THE
AVAILABILITY OF PPP AND MADE IT
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PROCURE
SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES OF THE
RECOMMENDED N. NINETY FIVE
MASKS FOR. WORKERS AND FOR THE
WORK FORCE. SO THIS LEGISLATION
PROPOSES TO FIRST ENSURE THAT
THE STATE STOCKPILE OF N.
NINETY FIVE MASK WILL BE
UTILIZING MADE AVAILABLE. TO
OUR FARM NEGLIGENT WORKERS IT
WOULD- INSURE THAT WE DIRECTED
THE FORMATION IN AND OUT OF
DEPLOYMENT OF CAL OSHA WILDFIRE
RESPONSE STRIKE TEAMS DURING
MAJOR UNHEALTHY AIR QUALITY
EVENTS. AND FINALLY WOODCOCK
TELLS YOU TO- TO WORK ON- THAT
PROVIDE CULTURALLY COMPETENT
WILDFIRE SMOKE SAFETY EDUCATION

PHARMACOLOGIC WORKERS YOU KNOW
THE NUMBER OF UNHEALTHY AIR
QUALITY DAYS CONTINUE TO
INCREASE ANNUALLY HERE IN OUR
STATE- AND I SHOULD NOTE IN OUR
FIRST IN THE NATION.
AGRICULTURAL STATE HERE IN

FEDERAL RECORD RICHARD HERRING.
AND MEMBERS OF THE SENATE
COMMITTEE ON HEALTH. WE LIVE IN
A STATE. WHERE WE HAVE AN
ESTIMATED EIGHT HUNDRED
THOUSAND FARMWORKERS. ANYWHERE
MAYBE MORE THAN HALF OF THESE
ARE UNDOCUMENTED. IT IS A
POPULATION THAT DURING THE CALL
THE DEFENDER MADE WAS HEAVILY
EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS. WHILE
MAINTAINING OUR FOOD SUPPLY.
THEY WERE NOT JUST A SENSUAL
LABOR FORCE. THEY'RE ALMOST
BECAME A SACRIFICIAL LABOR
FORCE. TODAY WE LIVE IN THE
HISTORICAL PERIOD WHERE WE ARE
EXPERIENCING AN EXPONENTIAL
INCREASE. IN WILDFIRE FREQUENCY
AND INTENSITY CAUSING DAMAGES
ON THE MAGNITUDE NOT. SEEN
BEFORE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. IT HAS BEEN
REFERRED FOR USE THAT YOU
RETURN QUALITY. THE ONE CENTURY
FIRE EVER WAS SEVEN POINT THREE
FIVE PER YEAR. BUT IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ALONE THEY
HAD SIXTY NINE FIRES. THE FARM
WORKERS FACE A SITUATION TODAY
WHERE THE WILDFIRE SMOKE
INHALATION IS INEVITABLE. WHEN
THEY HAVE TO CONTINUE WORKING
AND BEING EXPOSED. TO HEAVY
SMOKE WITHOUT ADEQUATE
PROTECTION. THIS IS BRINGING A
GREATER NUMBER OF HEALTH RISKS
FOR FARMERS THE CHEMICALS FOUND
SMOKE GET THE POSITIVE IN THE
SOIL AND BOLSTERING THE WATER.
THE INSTALLATION OF MOKE MAY
BRING ABOUT PULMONARY DISEASES
CARDIOVASCULAR ILLNESSES AT AN
EXACERBATIONS OF ASTHMA. BUT HE
BELIEVES THE RISKS INCLUDE
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS THAT MIGHT
BE CONTAINED IN THE EMISSION OF
ASH AND SOIL PARTICLES IT'S
DUST DURING AGRICULTURAL
ACTIVITIES. MAYBE SEVENTY THREE

CONDITIONS SUFFERED BY FARM

PLEASE BEGIN. THANK YOU HI MY
NAME IS MICHAEL MILLER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF WINE
GRAPE GROWERS AND THAT SUPPORT
AND NOTE THAT THE BILL DOES
HAVE NO OPPOSITION I THINK IT'S
BECAUSE WE ALL. AGREE WITH WHAT
THE BILL IS TRYING TO DO- WE'VE
BEEN VERY SUPPORT OF ALL OF
THE- INTEREST AND CONCERN AND A
GOAL OF GETTING- AND NINETY
FIVE MASK RESPIRATORS. FOR
EMPLOYEES IN WILDFIRE SMOKE
SITUATIONS- AND WE CAN CONTINUE
THAT LAST YEAR WE HAD A BIG
LESSON LEARNED WHEN THOSE MAPS
WERE UNAVAILABLE DUE TO COLD.
AND MISTY HAD TO READ THIS MASK
FROM THE ESTATE STOCKPILE AND
DISTRIBUTED THOSE TO THE
COUNTER WHAT SORT OF-
COMMISSIONS TO THE EMPLOYERS
YOU GOT THEM THEY HAD TO
REPLACE RIGHT AWAY AND THAT
THAT WORK VERY WELL. ON THAT WE
SUPPORT THE- THE AFTERNOON. I
WANT TO GIVE A STAFF OR-
PARAGRAPH ABOUT OTHER ARE NOT.
THAT PART OF THE BOTTOM OF PAGE-BY. A VERY VERY ACTUALLY CARE.
OUR CONCERNS THE DELL. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT I'M JUST ONE
PARAGRAPH HIGHER PARAGRAPHS SIX
OF THE BOTTOM OF EACH FIVE. THE
SUPPORT AMENDED I THINK THAT
PARAGRAPH HIGHLIGHTS THE- THE
ISSUE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET
OUT THERE SIMPLY SHOULD YOU
MEET A LOT OF CONFUSION ABOUT.
ALL THIS THIS- REGULATIONS
WORKS. THE CALIFORNIA
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
STANDARDS BOARD. APPROVED A
REGULATION FROM OPERATIONAL
PROTECTION. THE REGULATION
REQUIRES EMPLOYERS TO NOTIFY
AMAZON EMPLOYEES WHEN THERE'S A
WILDFIRE SMOKE SITUATION. AND
TO PROVIDE THEM N. NINETY FIVE
RESPIRATORS VOLUNTEER YEARS TO
PROTECT THEM FROM SMOKE
EXPOSURE. THAT REGULATIONS IN
EFFECT AS BEING FORCED BY CAL
OSHA. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THAT CONTINUES BECAUSE IT IS
WORKING- SO WE THE NUMBERS ARE
SUGGESTING ARE TO KEEP IT
CONSISTENT. WITH THAT
REGULATION. AFTER DECADES. WHAT
YOU MAY. A LITTLE WE- THE
BOARDS DOWN THAT IS APPROVED
AND THEN YOU HAVE A NEW LAW
COMING IN BEHIND IT YOU TRY TO.
YOU KNOW I'LL PROVIDE THE NEED
TO COMPLY WITH THAT STANDARD
THE BIG FADING AT VIRTUALLY
OTHER REQUIREMENTS CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH THAT STANDARD
SO. WHAT WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO
GET AT IS LET'S MAKE IT
CONSISTENT WITH THAT STANDARD.
ABOUT HOW THE TRAINING WORKS A
MASTER PROVIDED AND MAKE SURE
THAT THE- THAT THE PROGRAM.
WORKS WITH THE GOAL OF GETTING
THE N. NINETY FIVE MASKS TO
EMPLOYEES. IS THAT PROGRAM IS-
GETS DOWN UNDER EXISTING LAW
HOW ALL WORKPLACE STANDARDS ARE
ADOPTED AND ENFORCED. AND THAT
SHOULD CONTINUE AND SOME SORT
OF MAKE SURE. THAT THAT THAT IS
NOT IMPORTANTLY- I'M DONE BY
THIS BILL AGAIN WE WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR. YOU WORKING
WITH COMMITTEES ARE STAFFED
WITH THE OFFICE STAFF WILL
HAPPEN THAT WILL BE ABLE TO
RESOLVE THESE CONCERTS. AND
VERY APPRECIATIVE OF HIM TAKING
ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE AND-

ABILITY WILL GET SUPPORT ON THE

THANK YOU. THANKS VERY MUCH-
NEXT LINE. THERE ARE NO OTHER
LINES NOT POSITION PLEASE
CONTINUE RIGHT THANKS VERY MUCH
LET'S BRING YOU BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE OF THE QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
CENTER GROVE I THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I DO HAVE A COME A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO
ASK THE AUTHOR. AND FIRST I
APPLIED YOUR BILL I THINK IT'S
REALLY GOOD THAT WE'RE GOING TO
USE EXISTING M. P. B. E. THAT'S
AVAILABLE IN A STOCKPILE. AND
TO PROTECT OUR FARM WORKERS WHO
BRING OUR FOOD TO THE TABLE AT
THE CENTER VALLEY IS BLESSED
TO. HAVE MANY FARM WORKERS AND
MANY PEOPLE THAT- PRODUCE FOOD
ACTUALLY OF BUT IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WHERE THE TOP THREE FOOD
PRODUCING COUNTIES IN THE WORLD
SO- I KNOW MY COLLEAGUES ARE
STOCKED IN SHARES IN THAT. AND-
THAT BLESSING AS WELL. BUT WE
ALL REMEMBER I GUESS- WHEN
COLBERT STARTED THE BILLION
DOLLAR MASS DEAL- THE NATION
STATE TRYING TO FIGHT AND-
OTHER YOU KNOW ACTUALLY
CALIFORNIA THE GOVERNOR WAS
ACTUALLY COMPETING WITH OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT'S WHY HE
REFERENCED CALIFORNIA'S A
NATION STATE. WITH THE AMOUNT
OF THEM. B. E. THAT HE WOULD BE
ACQUIRING FROM DIFFERENT
NATIONS SPECIFICALLY I BELIEVE
CHINA- BUT- I GUESS MY QUESTION
IS IF WE HAVE TO STOCKPILE NOW
AND T IS AN IN IT AVAILABLE TO
US AT THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH OR WHEREVER
IT'S AT. AND WE HAVE A RISE IN
THE PANDEMIC AGAIN AND WE NEED
THESE N. NINETY FIVE MASKS FOR
FRONTLINE WORKERS LIKE NURSES
AND THINGS LIKE THAT- HOSPITALS
WHICH WE WERE STRUGGLING TO
GET. IN THE BEGINNING OF THE
PANDEMIC FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST
SIX MONTHS. DOES YOUR BILL TAKE
IT DOWN TO ZERO AND DEPLETED TO
NOTHING OR DO WE LEAVE SOME
THERE JUST IN CASE WE HAVE A- A
RISE IN THE PANDEMIC AGAIN WE
NEED ACCESS TO THOSE TYPES OF.
THAT TYPE OF PP- OR- DO YOU
DOES YOUR BILL REFERENCE IT AND
I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HAVE A
CHANCE TO READ THE WHOLE THING
MEASURES QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP
AS I READ THE ANALYSIS. YES SO
I- APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS IN
YOU KNOW ARE HAPPY TO- INSURE
THAT. WE PROVIDE SOME FOLLOW UP
BUT YOU KNOW CERTAINLY AS THE
BILL STIPULATES YOU KNOW.
REQUIRING THE CLOSE
COORDINATION WITH THESE THESE
THESE EXISTING AGENCIES THAT
HANDLE THE STOCKPILE- AND YOU
KNOW CERTAINLY HOPE THAT- YOU
KNOW WE CAN WORK TO. ENSURE
THAT WE CLARIFY THAT- THE
DEPARTMENT FOOD NAG BE INVOLVED
AS WELL- BUT BUT CERTAINLY IN
THE BILL IT DOES- TATING THAT.
THAT YOU KNOW RICKY- THE YELP
REVIEW. REQUIRING A REPORT
FROM. FROM- THE DEPARTMENT OF-
OF- STATE PUBLIC HEALTH WITHIN
SIX MONTHS OF THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THIS BILL WITH REGARD
TO THE AMOUNT OF P. P. IN. THE
STOCKPILE. THE AMOUNT OF TV
FROM THE STOCKPILE THAT HAS
BEEN USED AND THE AMOUNT OF-
ANTICIPATED FUTURE USAGE- AND
YOU KNOW AND SO I WOULD- YOU
KNOW- BE HAPPY TO. DO SOME
FOLLOW UP TO MAKE SURE THAT-
YOU KNOW WE ADDRESS THE
SPECIFIC CONCERN. MA'AM
SENATOR. I REALLY APPRECIATE
THAT I GUESS YOU KNOW LIKE I
SAID I REALLY LIKE THE BILL I
KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THERE ARE
INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE STILL
WORKING THAT NEED- YOU KNOW
WHEN. YOU'RE IN A HIGH FIRE
HAZARD AREA OR THE SMOKE GOES
DOWN TO THE CENTRAL VALLEY FROM
THE NORTH. AND WE DO NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT EMPLOYEES ARE
PROTECTED I GUESS. MY CONCERN
WHICH RELATE TO YOU IS- IN
THE HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC THAT
TERM WE WERE ALL SCRAMBLING TO
GET MASK AND- PP. F. FOR
EVERYONE AND SO I DO HAVE A
CONCERN THAT WOULD BE IT WOULD.
DEPLETE ZERO R. STOCKPILE. BUT
YOUR FOLLOW UP- ON THAT WOULD
BE WONDERFUL AND I WOULD REALLY
APPRECIATE IT. MY SECOND.
QUESTION THAT I HAVE FOR YOU.
AND AN IS THAT ONCE WE- SEE
IT'S- I DON'T KNOW FIFTY PER. I
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER
IS BUT JUST SAY IT'S FIFTY
PERCENT. WHEN WE REACH THAT AND
THERE'S NO MORE THAN 50%
AVAILABLE IN THE STOCKPILE OR
WHATEVER NUMBER YOU DEAN. AND
SUITABLE FOR THE BILL TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE DON'T GO BELOW
THAT IN THE STOCKPILE. AND IT
STILL REQUIRED BY LAW. IF IT'S
NOT IN YOUR BILL IF IT'S NOT-
PROVIDED FOR BY DEPARTMENT OF
IT AT C. P. H. THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH. WHO PROVIDES
THAT IS A TEAM PLAYER THAT
WOULD PROVIDE IT AFTER THE
STOCKPILE IS DEPLETED TO A
CERTAIN PERCENTAGE POINT OR-
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE
PROVIDED FOR THESE MASK AFTER
THAT STOCKPILE. IS DEPLETED
SURE SO MY UNDERSTANDING IS
ACCORDING TO THE CURRENT- STATE
STANDARD OF YOU KNOW WILDFIRE
SMOKE- STANDARD THAT WAS
ESTABLISHED. JUST PART OF THE
PANDEMIC. IT IS- THE EMPLOYER'S
RESPONSIBILITY TO- INSURE THAT
THEY ARE THAT. THEY ARE
PROVIDING THIS BP IN PARTICULAR
AND I FIVE MASTED PLAYERS AND
AS YOU STATED IN. A SENATOR YOU
KNOW THE ABILITY FOR THE
INDUSTRY TO. PROCURE THESE
MASKS WERE. IMPOSSIBLE AS THE-
THE AMOUNT OF CHARGES THAT ARE
STATED IN AN IN COUNTRY FACED.
AND I APPRECIATE THAT AND I DO
KNOW I MEAN I KNOW OF THE
FARMERS IN OUR AREA PROVIDE P.
PT PP TO THEIR PLAYERS AND IT'S
REQUIRED BY CAL OSHA. BUT WHEN
IT'S NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL I
MEAN THEY WERE SCRAMBLING
TRYING TO PROVIDE PP SO I
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THE
FOURTH THOUGHT THAT YOU HAD AND
THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX
THAT YOU KNOW WE HAVE THIS
MASSIVE STOCKPILE. AND THE ONLY
THING THAT I WOULD REALLY LIKE
YOU TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME AND I
THINK EVERYBODY I CAN'T SPEAK
FOR EVERYBODY BUT I WOULD THINK
IT WOULD BE ON EVERYBODY'S MIND
IS THAT. THAT WE- NOT DEPLETE
COMPLETELY THE STOCKPILE THAT
WE HAVE JUST IN CASE WE COME
INTO ANOTHER AND COOK IT
SITUATION AND THEN IN THE NEXT
YEAR TO YEAR SO IT WOULD BE
NICE TO HAVE THAT AVAILABLE- SO
THAT WE'RE NOT FRANTICALLY.
COMPLETING COMPETING WITH OTHER
COUNTRIES IN ORDER TO-
REPLENISH WHAT WE'VE USED. IN
THIS BILL- SO THANK YOU SIR
VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME ASK
YOU THOSE QUESTIONS. AND THEY
HAVE A QUESTIONS BE SURE TO.
RIGHT UNDER THE OTHER QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS.
SEEING NONE OF THE THIRTY FIRST
OF ALL- THANK YOU SO MUCH
SUMMER FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD THAT SAY ALRIGHT I'M
I'M I PERHAPS GOING TO
PARTIALLY ADDRESS HOPEFULLY THE
QUESTIONS OF MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM BAKER STILL DOESN'T GROW.
UP BECAUSE AS THE AUTHOR WITH
US OUR LABOR OF THE ORIGINAL
STOCKPILE BUILD. IT DOWN HERE
IS THAT THE STOCKPILE OBVIOUSLY
IN A LARGE EVENT LIKE COVE IT
EVEN IN TRYING NEVER GOT WE'RE
TRYING TO BUILD A STOCKPILE
ENOUGH. TO AVOID THAT HOWEVER.
FOR THE PURPOSES HOUSE ACTUALLY
THE BUFFER IN TO BUY TIME RATES
BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT.
IN AN IMMEDIATE CRUNCH OF
COURSE THERE'S VERY LITTLE PP
AVAILABLE SO PRICES GO SKY HIGH
IT'S AN ACCESSIBLE YOU KNOW
YOU'RE POTENTIALLY AT RISK
FROM- PREDATORY SELLERS WHO
EITHER DON'T CARRY THROUGH OUR-
SUPPLY SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT. SO
THE IDEA IS THAT THE STOCKPILES
THE SHARES AT LEAST FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME YOU DO HAVE
ACCESS TO. HIGHER COURT YOU
KNOW. TO THE DVD THAT IS. THAT
WAS PURCHASED AT WHEN THINGS
WORK TO ADDRESS SUCH A HIGH
PRICE ND SO FORTH AND- SO I
THAT'S HOW I VIEW THE STOCKPILE
HAPPENING. IS THE OBVIOUSLY IN
A LARGE PANDEMIC SITUATION IT
WOULD BUY SOME TIME ALLOWS YOU
TO RE ESTABLISH SUPPLIES CHAINS
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF
IT. I WOULD THINK THAT IN A
WILDFIRE SITUATION WHERE. THERE
MAY NOT BE A WORLDWIDE SHORTAGE
OR EVEN A NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE
OF PP WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THE
STATE WOULD. MAKE THE STOCKPILE
OF SALEABLE- THE MAY MAKE
AVAILABLE AT COST- RIGHT SO
THAT'S A LOWER COST NOT EDDIE
YOU KNOW A CRUNCH CLASS. BUT
THEN ALSO OF COURSE AS SOON AS
WE'RE ABLE TO. SECURE
ADDITIONAL PP START PURCHASING
IT IN MASS TO RE- RESTOCK THE
STOCKPILES RIGHT. HOWEVER IF
IT'S IN A CRUNCH SITUATION AT
LEAST WE BOUGHT SOME TIME SO
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO CHASE DOWN
AND HAVING TO IMMEDIATELY BITE
BECAUSE OF THE IMMEDIATE NEED-
PP THAT IS EITHER UNAVALABLE
OR JUST SKY HIGH PRICES. RIGHT
SO THAT I THINK IS THE PURPOSE
OF THE STOCKPILE AND THAT
CERTAINLY WOULD I THINK HELP
EMPLOYERS BECAUSE IF THERE IS A
LOCAL SORT OF SHORTAGE. THEY'RE
NOT HAVING TO FIND IT AND THEN
HAVING TO BUY IT WHATEVER PRICE
I WAS WILLING TO SELL IT FOR
INSTEAD THEY CAN RELY ON THE
STOCK PILE INTO THE STOCK HOW
CAN BE IS A LARGE PURCHASER.
EVENTUALLY ABLE TO YOU KNOW-
REBUILT YOU KNOW BASICALLY
RESUME WHEN PRICES HAVE HAVE
SETTLED OBVIOUSLY WITH A VERY
LARGE OUTBREAK LIKE TELEVISION-
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A
CHALLENGE BUT- CERTAINLY I
THINK. THAT WE WHAT WE SAW WAS
THAT PEOPLE HAD EVEN HAD THE-
BE. SUPPLY LINES AND JUST I'LL
BE BUYS THE TO READ. SOME OF
THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS. AT THE TOP
YES SENATOR GROWTH. YOUR CHAIR
FOR ADDRESSING MY CONCERNS- I
DID I SAW IT HERE FROM THE
STATE LEVEL AS A LEGISLATOR AND
AS A BUSINESS OWNER. I ALSO SAW
IT- YOU KNOW JUST TRYING TO
OBTAIN PAPER MASK RIGHT. AND
YOU CAN GET IN FOR I DON'T KNOW
FIFTY CENTS EACH AND TILL.
COULD HAPPEN AND THEN THEY WERE
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET YOU
WERE PAYING FIVE DOLLARS A
PIECE. SO IT WAS AND THAT WAS
MY CONCERN IS IF WE DEPLETED
THIS BUT I APPRECIATE THE PIECE
OF LEGISLATION AND I THINK IT'S
A GREAT SOLUTION. TO A PROBLEM
THAT WE DO HAVE SO THANK YOU
SIR THANK YOU BUT I GUESS THAT
ONE OTHER GUY I DID HAVE A
BRIEF QUESTION FOR YOU- SOME
THE NUMBER THAT THE- IT'S NOT
REALLY OPPOSITION BUT THE
CONCERN THAT WAS RAISED BY ALSO
WOULD MAKE NOTE THAT THIS ILL
IS AFTER. A SIMILAR PASSES OUT
THIS COMMITTEE WOULD GO TO
LABOR WHERE I THINK THEY WOULD
PROBABLY MORE SPECIFICALLY
ADDRESS THAT CONCERN BUT- DID
YOU WANT JUST ME BRIEFLY
RESPOND TO. THE CONCERNS RAISED
BY THE GREAT GROWERS IN TERMS
OF IS THERE ANY CONFLICT WITH
THIS BILL WITH EXISTING OSHA
GUIDELINES- REGARDING A P. T.
E. R. NO IN I- REALLY
APPRECIATE- THE CONCERNS THAT
WERE RAISED AND WE HAVE WORKED
EXTENSIVELY WITH- THE
ASSOCIATION AND WILL CONTINUE
TO DO SO. AND WORK TO GET SOME
COMPROMISE LANGUAGE YOU KNOW WE
SHOULD- WE BE SUCCESSFUL THIS
AFTERNOON. OKAY THANK YOU ALL

I WOULD HURRY WELCOME. ELLO
WELCOME THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS FIRST I WOULD LIKE
TO ACCEPT AS AN AUTHOR'S
AMENDMENT LANGUAGE TO CLARIFY
ISSUE TWO ON PAGE. ELEVEN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS DEALING WITH
THE CALCULATION OF THC IN HEMP
PRODUCTS I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE. FOR ITS WORK ON
THIS MEASURE. MAYBE FORTY FIVE
CREATES A REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
FOR INDUSTRIAL HEMP PRODUCTS IN
CALIFORNIA. IN FOODS BEVERAGES
AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS. IT
LIMITS HIM PRODUCTS TO CONTAIN
NO MORE THAN THREE TENTHS OF A
PERCENT OF THC. REQUIRES THAT
HEMP PRODUCTS BE SUBJECT TO
TESTING AND LABELING
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PRODUCTS.
THE TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN THE
FEDERAL FARM BILL CLARIFIED
THAT INDUSTRIAL HEMP AS AN
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCT. AND
THE FEDERAL FOOD AND DRUG
ADMINISTRATION SCHEDULES. THIS
ACTION CLASSIFIED HIM BEING
GREETED AS GENERALLY SAFE FOR
HUMAN CONSUMPTION. AND OPEN THE
DOORS FOR FARMERS TO CULTIVATE
CULTIVATE INDUSTRIAL HEMP.
CALIFORNIA LEGALIZED CANNABIS
IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S POSITION THAT
CANNABIS IS ILLEGAL. IRONICALLY
WHILE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
HAS REMOVED BARRIERS TO THE
LEGAL USE OF HEMP DERIVED
PRODUCTS INCLUDING CBD.
CALIFORNIA HAS NOT TAKEN A
SIMILAR APPROACH. CALIFORNIA
CURRENTLY ALLOWS THE
MANUFACTURING AND SALE OF
RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA PRODUCTS
INCLUDING FOOD AND DRINKS YOU
DON'T WANT HIM IS THE SOURCE OF
CBD TO BE ADDED TO FOOD
PRODUCTS IT IS PROHIBITED. MANY
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN PERCHING HIM
DRIVE CBD PRODUCTS OF THEIR
LOCAL NATURAL FOOD SHOPS
FITNESS CENTERS AND EVEN HIGH
END DEPARTMENT STORES FOR SOME
TIME. THESE PRODUCTS ARE
UNREGULATED IN FACT SENIORS
HAVE PART A SIGNIFICANT PORTION
OF THE PEOPLE CHOOSING TO USE
HEMP CBD BECAUSE THEY DO NOT
WANT TO VISIT A MARIJUANA
DISPENSARY. THE MANUFACTURE AND
SALE OF CBD DERIVED FROM HEMP
IS RAPIDLY EXPANDING BUSINESS
IN CALIFORNIA. WITH MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF ECONOMIC
PRODUCTIVITY. SHOULD THE CHANGE
SEES ME SHOULD THE STATE CHOOSE
NOT TO CLARIFY THAT HEMP CBD
PRODUCTS ARE ILLEGAL FOR SALE
IN CONCEPTION. BUSINESSES AND
THE TAX REVENUES ARE LOST. WE
SIMPLY HAVE A WILD WILD WEST
FOR CBD PRODUCTS NOW ONLINE AND
IN STORES AND WITH ONLY SELLING
ON REGULATED PRODUCTS. I DON'T
WANT MY CONSTITUENTS BUYING
UNTESTED UNREGULATED AND OUT OF
STATE FOR FOREIGN PRODUCTS. ARE
UNSAFE FOR FARMERS AND
BUSINESSES LOSE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY A. B. FORTY FIVE
WILL ALLOW CALIFORNIA TO MAKE
IT EASIER TO ACCESS THE NON
INTOXICATING ALTERNATIVE
PRODUCT CONSUMERS WANT. FOR
FARMERS TO ESTABLISH THEMSELVES
IN A FAST GROWING INDUSTRY.
WITH ME TODAY ARE TO TESTIFY OR
RANDOM MARTIN HERE IN THE
GALLERY REPRESENTING U. S. HEMP
ROUNDTABLE THAT EDDIE BERNACCHI
VIA PHONE REPRESENT THE
CALIFORNIA HIM COUNSEL. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH HIS ARM- AGARI-
SO NOW MOVE ON TO THE WITNESSES
AND SUPPORT SO WE'LL BEGIN
WITH- RAN MARTIN FROM THE U. S.
I HAVE BROWN TABLE AT THE
MICROPHONE AND THE GALLERY YOU
HAVE TWO MINUTES TOTAL. FOUR
EARNING IT GOES OFF THE OTHER
PERSON'S TIME SO PLEASE BEGIN.
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
AGAIN RANDY MARTIN ON BEHALF OF
THE U. S. HEMP ROUNDTABLE VERY
QUICKLY TO SUMMARIZE WHAT THIS
BILL DOES AND WHY IT'S SO
IMPORTANT NUMBER ONE IT'S GOING
TO GIVE ACCESS TO MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PURCHASE.
HIM CBD PRODUCTS- CURRENTLY
CAN'T LEGALLY- IT WILL ALLOW
THEM TO BUY SOMETHING THAT THEY
HAVE SOME COMFORT WITH RELATIVE
TO THE INGREDIENTS THAT THERE'S
NOT CONTAMINATION THINGS I
THAT. PROVIDES VERY CLEAR SO
THE CONSUMER SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS
TESTING- TO THE SAME LEVEL AS
CANNABIS AND NUMBER THREE IS
GOING TO JUMP START AN INDUSTRY
IN CALIFORNIA THAT'S GOING TO
BE A BILLION DOLLARS IN THE
NEXT TWO OR THREE YEARS. WITH
THOUSANDS OF JOBS BEING
CREATED. I WANT TO PICK THAT
REAL QUICKLY TO SOME OF THE
THINGS YOU'VE BEEN HEARING FROM
THE OPPOSITION TO MAKE VERY
CLEAR NUMBER ONE THE OPPOSITION
HAS SAID THEY'RE OPPOSED TO THE
BILL BECAUSE IT DOES NOT
INCLUDE CANNABIS LICENSEES. WE
WANTED TO INCLUDE CANNABIS
LICENSEES JUST AS MUCH AS THEY
DO WE ARE WORKING WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION TO CONVINCE THEM
THAT THAT'S A GOOD IDEA THAT WE
SHOULD BE- INCLUDING THAT
INDUSTRY AS WELL AND THEY CAN'T
INDUSTRY- WE THINK WE'RE GOING
TO GET THERE- BUT IT'S GOING TO
TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A LITTLE
MORE TIME TO GET TERE. COULD
BE REALLY HELPFUL IF THE
OPPOSITION WOULD ACTUALLY BE
WORKING WITH US TO TRY AND GET
THE ADMINISTRATION TO AGREE TO
INCLUDE CANNABIS LICENSEES AND
THEY CAN'T- CAN'T SEE BEAUTY
SUPPLY CHAIN- THE OPPOSITION
TALKS ABOUT NEEDING TESTING
PARITY WITH CANNABIS. SO PAGE
FIFTEEN LINE NINETEEN OF THE
BILL SAYS TESTING REQUIREMENTS
FOR CONTAMINANT LEVELS SHALL BE
THE SAME AS THOSE FOR CAMPUS
I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH MORE
PARITY WE CAN GET IN THE BILL-
THAN. TO SAY THAT IT HAS TO BE
THE SAME AS CANNABIS. NUMBER
THREE- THEY WANT TO SEE PROBLEM.
ON NON MEDICAL CLAIMS THAT
CANNABIS HAS TO FOLLOW. THAT IS
IN THE BILL IS ALREADY REQUIRED
UNDER THE SHERMAN. FOOD DRUG
AND COSMETICS ACT. OF VIRTUALLY
IDENTICAL TO WHAT'S IN THE
CANNABIS LAW. SO WE ARE
PROHIBITED FROM MAKING CLAIMS
IT CAN'T B SUBSTANTIATED.
THAT'S ALSO GOVERNED BY THE FDA
THE FDA IS CLAMPING DOWN WHERE
PEOPLE ARE MAKING.
UNSUBSTANTIATED MEDICAL CLAIMS.
I HOPE THOSE ANSWER THE KEY
QUESTIONS FROM THE OPPOSITION-
WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VOTE ON
THIS BILL THIS IS VIRTUALLY
IDENTICAL TO SB TWO THIRTY
FIVE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
OKAY THANKS VERY MUCH NOW LET'S

CANNED BEVERAGE PRODUCTS IN
DOING SO CREATE A SIGNIFICANT
PATH FORWARD FOR CALIFORNIA
FARMERS. TO EXPAND IN IN THE

INDUSTRY AND OPPOSITION TO AB.
FORTY FIVE I WOULD HAVE IN A
POST ON THIS A MAN. AND HOW
MUCH TO THE- OF MR RAN MARTIN
SAYING THAT WE ARE SPEAKING.
THE BILL REQUIRES TESTING FOR
RAW MATERIALS WHAT WE'RE ASKING
FOR IS FINAL FORM IT'S NOT IN
THE BILL FINAL FOUR MEANING M.
F. ONCE THE PRODUCT IT'S
PACKAGED AND IT'S READY TO BE
CONSUMED BY AN INDIVIDUAL. ROB
PRODUCT AND IF YOU TEST IT IS
GOING TO GIVE YOU A VERY
DIFFERENT RESULT DAN WHEN YOU
HAVE A FINAL FORM CONTAMINANTS
METALS AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
PUBLIC HEALTH HERE ALSO THERE
IS NO AGE THREE AGE LIMIT ON
THIS PRODUCT READ PASSING THAT
ON TO THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH. WE SHOULD BE
DECIDING THAT THE NOT PUT AN
END TO THE STATE AGENCY WE
STAYED STRONG MEASURES TO
PROTECT OUR USERS AND THE
PUBLIC SO THAT'S MISSING ON THE
BILL- I LIKE TO JUMP ON IN.
THERE'S A WE ASKED FOR AND THEN
AND OF TEACHING TWO ZERO ONE
FIVE MILLIGRAM. WE HEARD THAT
THERE'S NOT. COMING WE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE THAT- WE THINK THAT
IT SHOULD BE LIMITED- THEN WE
HAVE A I TOOK SOME TESTING
PAIRED. THE OTHER. COMPONENT IS
ALLOWING THE CANNABIS-
MANUFACTURES CULTIVATORS
MANUFACTURERS RETAILERS TO BE
ABLE TO SELL THOSE PRODUCTS.
RIGHT NOW. THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY IS ALREADY DECIMATED
SO THIS BILL REALLY CATERS TO
OUT OF STATE HELP.
MANUFACTURERS PRODUCTS COMING
FROM CHINA IN THE LIMITS JOBS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. WHAT KIND
OF JOBS ARE CREATED IN
CALIFORNIA. MY WE ALSO ASK FOR-
CANNABIS ARE CONNECTED TO
MOVIES LISTED IN MILLIGRAMS
THREE TWO MINUTES THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THAT TIME- WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NOBLE.
THANKS VERY MUCH FOR NOW MOVE
ON TO- DOCTOR LYNN SILVER WHO'S
ALSO GOING TESTIFYING FROM THE
GALLERY WELCOME. THANK YOU
SENATOR IS- MY NAME IS DR LYNN
SILVER I'M A PEDIATRICIAN
CLINICAL PROFESSOR AT UCSF AND
SENIOR ADVISER AT THE PUBLIC
HEALTH INSTITUTE. A. B. FORTY
FIVE IS AN HISTORIC ERROR FOR
THE SIMPLEST OF REASONS. FOOD
IS FOOD TO BE SAFE FOR OUR
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN FOR
PREGNANT WOMEN AND BABIES IT
SHOULD NOT BE ADULTERATED.
ADDING NEUROLOGICALLY ACTIVE
CANNABINOIDS TO FOOD WITH KNOWN
SIDE EFFECTS AND DRUG
INTERACTIONS IS A VERY BAD IDEA.
A. B. FORTY FIVE UNDERMINES THE
OBLIGATION OF GOVERNMENT TO
ASSURE A SAFE AND UNADULTERATED
FOOD SUPPLY. THE FUNDAMENTAL
PRINCIPLE OF FDA REGULATION.
HAS BEEN THAT APPROVED
PHARMACEUTICALS CANNOT BE ADDED
TO FOOD OR SOLD THE SUPPLEMENTS
GET THIS BILL ALLOWS TO SUCH
SUBSTANCES CBD AND THC. INTO
FOOD SOLD AT THE CORNER STORE.
CBD ITSELF CAN CAUSE SOMNOLENCE
SEDATION DIARRHEA LIVER INJURY
AND INTERACTS WITH MANY
MEDICATIONS INCLUDING BLOOD
THINNERS. TWO MINUTES IS
INSUFFICIENT TO DESCRIBE ALL
THE WAYS THE SPECIAL INTEREST
pCURRENTLY SO POORLY DRAFTED
THAT IT ALLOWS THE TEACH YOU
PREVALENT OF EIGHTY FIVE
CANNABIS EDIBLES AND CANNABIS
AND BREWED BEER. EVEN WITH THE
PROPOSED CHANGES WHICH WE
HAVEN'T SEEN. THC EXPOSURE IS
NOT FULLY RESOLVED. THE SURGEON
GENERAL WARNS THAT EXPOSURE TO
CANNABIS IN UTERO DURING
CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENCE.
INTERFERES WITH BRAIN
DEVELOPMENT BUT WE DO NOT YET
FULLY KNOW. WHAT CANNABINOIDS
DRIVE THESE EFFECTS THAT HEMP
DIFFERS MOSTLY IN THC. ARE
THESE THE SNACKS YOU WANT YOUR
KIDS TO GRAB LUNCH BREAK. FOODS
SHOULD NOT REQUIRE LABEL SAYING
DON'T EAT UNLESS YOU ARE TWENTY
ONE. HOPE IT IS AN EMERGENCY
HEMP IS NOT. ITS REGULATION
REQUIRES ANALYSIS NOT URGENCY
THE BEST PATH IS TO AWAIT FDA
REGULATION. OR ALTERNATIVELY TO
AUTHORIZE C. PH TO PROPOSE A
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK. WITHIN
TWO TO THREE YEARS BUT A. B.
FORTY FIVE PM SCIENTIFIC
EVALUATION AND IS MORE HARMFUL
THAN HELPFUL- ALLOWING US TO
MEDICAL CLAIMS THAT SHOULD BE
ALLOWED FURTHERMORE PLEASE
INCLUDE TO CLOAK HEALTH
REGULATION IN SECRECY IS
DANGEROUS. MAYBE FORTY FIVE IS
DANGEROUS PLEASE PROTECT OUR
CHILDREN AND VOTE NO THANK YOU.
THANKS VERY MUCH ALL RIGHT- NOW

BACK TO THE COMMITTEE AND THE
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBER CENTER WINNER.
pWINNER AS I MENTIONED TO THE
AUTHOR I SUPPORT. THIS BILL AS
I SUPPORTED THE SIMILAR BILL
AND SENATOR ALLEN. PRESENTED IN
THIS COMMITTEE EARLIER THIS
YEAR AND- THIS IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT ISSUE TO TACKLE- ASI
MENTIONED IT TO THE AUTHOR OF
THE ONE THING. I REQUESTED- TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH WITH
PARTICULAR THE SMALL- CANNABIS
MEDICAL CANNABIS EQUITY-
BUSINESSES IN PARTICULAR IN SAN
FRANCISCO- WE HAVE A VERY
ROBUST NETWORK OF THESE SMALL.
CANNABIS BUSINESSES INCLUDING-
MEDICAL CANNABIS AND WE'VE
WORKED VERY HARD- ON THE EQUITY
FRONT TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE-
YOU KNOW THAT THAT THE
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN MOST
IMPACTED. BY THE WAR ON DRUGS
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PARTICIPATE
AND- AND- YOU KNOW BIT. USE
CANNABIS CAUSES OF COLOR ARE
ABLE TO- ARE ABLE TO SUCCEED.
AND IT'S BEEN VERY CHALLENGING
WITH LEGALIZATION. OF CANNABIS
AND SOME OF THE- FRANKLY
PROBLEMSWITH THAT BALLOT
MEASURE NOTHING'S PERFECT- THE
SORT OF BIT LARGER BUSINESSES
COME AND- AND CAN REALLY IMPACT
THE SMALL COMMUNITY BUSINESSES.
WE'VE WORKED REALLY HARD TO TRY
TO SHORE UP THESE BUSINESSES-
AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE AND I'M
VERY SYMPATHETIC TO THEIR
CONCERNS. THAT THE LARGE LARGE
HEMP BUSINESSES COULD COME IN
AND POTENTIALLY BIG FIGHT- THE
SMALL LOCAL. CANNABIS
BUSINESSES AND IT'S A VERY VERY
IMPORTANT- FROZEN SALMON CISCO
I KNOW IN OTHER PARTS OF THE
STATE. AND SO I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT THE- AUTHOR HAS
YOU KNOW INDICATED SHOULD
CONTINUE THIS WHOLE- TALK WITH
THEM AND TRY TO SEE WHAT CAN BE
DONE. IN THE BILL TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE MAINTAINING- THAT
REALLY IMPORTANT BALANCE I'LL
BE SUPPORTING BOTH TODAY AND I
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR CONTINUING
THE CONVERSATION. AND IF YOU
HAVE ANY. COMMENTS ON THAT I
WOULD. HAVE TO DO THE COMMENT I
HAVE IS THAT ABSOLUTELY I'M
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE OPPONENTS. FROM OBVIOUSLY
NOT EVERY BILLS PERFECT BUT I
WOULD REALLY WANT TO MAKE IT
PERFECT SO WE HAVE TO COME BACK
AND DO THIS AGAIN. I THINK WE
WORKED REALLY HARD WITH THE
BOSS FIGHTS BUT I AGAIN I.
REALLY WANT TO HONOR PARTICULAR
SMALL. I'VE BEEN BECAUSE THEY
THE ONES THAT UNDERSTOOD. TAKE
IT WOULD TAKE THE HIT SO I
TOTALLY. SO I PROMISE YOU WHEN
YOU KNOW THEY WILL DO IT I WILL
DEFINITELY MEET WITH THEM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU-
CENTER LATER THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL TODAY BUT I HAVE A
QUESTION OF THE OFF IF THAT'S
OKAY. MY UNDERSTANDING IS A LOT
OF WHAT- THE OPPOSITION IS. BUT
THEIR OPPOSITION IS IT CAN NOT
FREEZING THAT'S RIGHT AT ALL.
THIS BILL IS AN ATTEMPT TO
REGULATE AN UNREGULATED PORTION
OF THIS INDUSTRY YES THANK YOU
AND SOME OF WHAT THE OPPOSITION
IS WORRIED ABOUT IS ALREADY
HAPPENING YES AND YOUR BILL IS.
GOING AFTER THIS IN A SMALL WAY
AND HOPEFULLY IN A BIGGER WAY
SOON YES AND IT'S BEEN A
CONSUMER PROTECTION AS YOU KNOW
YOU CAN BUY THIS THIS PRODUCT
MOST SO MANY PLACES IT'S JUST
AMAZING. AND THERE'S NO IDEA
WHAT'S BEEN IF IT'S BEEN TESTED
IT'S NOT REGULATED THAT'S WHAT
IT IS IT'S ABOUT CONSUMER
PROTECTION FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS
AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE USING A PRODUCT THAT
IS. GOOD AND THEN ON TO NOT TO
GET SICK SO IT'S ALL ABOUT
SAFETY CONSUMER PROTECTION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. RIGHT ANY
OTHER- QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS SO
YES SIR RUBIO. THANK YOU MR
CHAIR- AND IT HERE AT THE
DEBATE AND I'M SENSITIVE TO
BOTH SIDES- I DO KNOW THE
AUTHOR HOWEVER- HAS EXPRESSED
WANTING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS- I HAD CONCERNS WHEN I
HEAR ON A DOCTOR TALK ABOUT THE
HELP. IT TO CHILDREN AND
EXPOSURE AND IT'S SOMETHING
THAT I THINK I WOULD NEED TO
TAKE DEEPER TO UNDERSTAND. ME I
DID HERE RIGHT NOW IT'S ABOUT
SAFETY AND MAKING SURE THAT
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
GETTING BUT I CANNOT HELP BUT-
THINK THAT THERE IS OPPORTUNITY
TO CONTINUE TO WORK AND REALLY
TALENT INTO SOME OF THAT
OPPOSITION AND COME TO AN
AGREEMENT SO HOPEFULLY. THAT
WILL HAPPEN BUT I WILL ALSO BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR MELINDA'S. THANK
YOU MR CHAIRMAN- SO.
ASSEMBLYWOMAN I HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT- ONE OF THE STATEMENTS
HERE IN THE ANALYSIS- G. R. S.
WHICH IS THE GETTING IT RIGHT
GROUP A PROJECT OF A PUBLIC
HEALTH INSTITUTE. THEY'RE
SAYING THAT THE CAP OF POINT 3%
THC MEANS THAT A TEN OUNCE
BEVERAGE COULD CONTAIN AS MUCH
AS EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLIGRAMS OF THC WHICH WOULD
BE EIGHTY FIVE TIMES THE
LEGALLY ALLOWED DOSE OF THC AND
CANNABIS EDIBLE- WOULD YOU
ADDRESS THAT FOR ME PLEASE FOR
CORPORATE RATE ONLY THAT'S TRUE
ON MY ONLY TO MY EXPERT
WITNESSES OF ABOVE MISTER
MARTIN OR MR BERNACCHI K. G.
MISTER MARTIN'S COMING UP TO
THE MICROPHONE. I WOULD ALSO
MAKE NOTE THAT THE AMENDMENT
THAT YOU ACCEPTED ALSO TRIED TO
DRESS THAT IT RADIATION BUT-
REMARKS PLEASE. WELL MISTER
JERRY TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY-
THE CHAIRMAN OBVIOUSLY IS
CONCERNED. ON THAT ISSUE AS
WELL AND WE WORKED WITH HE AND
HIS STAFF OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS. TO COME WITH UP WITH THAT
AMENDMENT THAT BASICALLY LIMITS
THE EXTRACT THAT GOES INTO THE
PRODUCT NOT THE ENTIRE PRODUCT.
TO THAT ZERO POINT 3% OF THAT'S
REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL LAW THE
CONCERN HAS BEEN EXPRESSED AS A
ZERO POINT THREE WOULD APPLY
TO. A TWELVE OUNCE BEVERAGE
INSTEAD OF THE HALF AN OUNCE OR
SO OF EXTRACTED MY GO TO THE
PRODUCT. THIS WILL ONLY APPLY
TO THE EXTRACT AND NOT TO THE
ENTIRE PRODUCT. TO THOSE EIGHT
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLIGRAMS WILL
NEVER FORGET A PRODUCT. SO IF
YOU WOULDN'T MIND WE HAVE AN
AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE I'M SURE
ARE LISTENING TO THIS TESTIMONY
IF YOU COULD BOIL THAT DOWN
INTO SOMETHING THAT'S MORE.
UNDERSTANDABLE FOR THE AVERAGE
PERSON WHO ISN'T YOU KNOW- A
POLICY TYPE OF PERSON PUT IT IN
LAYMAN'S TERMS FOR THOSE WHO
ARE LISTENING PLEASE. I WILL
TRY AS THE LETTER FROM PH II-
HELPLINE THEY WERE TALKING
ABOUT A BEVERAGE THAT WOULD
HAVE TEN OUNCES OF PRODUCT AND
THEN APPLYING THE ZERO POINT
THREE AND THEIR CALCULATION
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL EIGHT
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLIGRAMS OF
THC. BY PUTTING A CAP ON IT AS
THE CHAIR HAS REQUESTED WE ARE
NOW BOILING DOWN THAT PRODUCT
TO JUDGE THE EXTRACT THAT GOES
INTO THE PRODUCT TO MAKE IT A
HEMP CBD PRODUCTS. AT THAT
POINT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A
VERY SMALL AMOUNT THAT GOES
INTO THIS TEN OUNCE BEVERAGE.
SO THE ZERO POINT THREE THAT'S
REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL LAW THE
CAPITAL T. H. C. ZERO POINT
THREE. APPLIES TO THAT LITTLE
BIT OF EXTRACT SO IT DOES NOT
APPLY THERE'S NO THC AND THE
REST OF THAT. TEN PLUS POUNDS
OF- NINE PLUS THOUSANDS OF THE
BEVERAGE. SO- IF IT WORKS
AGAINST WHAT LITTLE BIT OF THC
IS ALREADY AGAIN IN THE
PRODUCT. I HOPE THAT WAS MORE
CLEAR I'M NOT I'M NOT A
SCIENTIST HEY. I WAS NOT THAT
CLEAR NO NO THAT THAT THAT'S
VERY GOOD THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR FOR YOUR. EXPLANATION-
I. WELL YOU THAT AND LISTEN TO
THE- I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND-
THE CONCERNS. ON THE SIDE OF
THE OPPOSITION THOUGH I DON'T
KNOW THAT IT WARRANTS-
OPPOSITION FOR ME. AND I WILL
ALSO NOTE THAT- THE- YOU KNOW
THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY HAS-
MAKING HAY OVER THE- DANGER
THAT THIS MAY POSE TO MINORS.
AND ALL THE WHILE THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY IS TARGETING MINORS-
THE- MINERS AREN'T ALLOWED TO
TAKE PART IN CANNABIS PRODUCTS
UNTIL YOU KNOW THEY'RE THE AGE
OF TWENTY ONE THE CAN'T-MISS
INTEREST INDUSTRY IS IN FACT
TARGETING MINORS AND I KNOW
THIS BECAUSE I'M THE MOM OF
FIVE CHILDREN AND SO I SEE IT
AND I KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON SO I
DON'T. KNOW THAT IT'S GENUINE
TO SUGGEST THAT THE- THE-
THEY'RE SO DEEPLY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE HARM THAT THIS MAY
CAUSE TWO CHILDREN- I DON'T.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK OF MY
QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED SO
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN. THANK U.
S. SENATOR'S OFFICE S. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR- I HAVE BEEN
WATCHING THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE
I GOT ON THE FLOOR TODAY AND I
THINK MY- FRIENDS FROM LONG
BEACH FOR CALLING IN- I KNOW
THAT THEY ARE A VERY VERY MUCH
A DEEP INTO THIS THIS BILL AND
THEY HAVE THEIR VERY STRONG
OPINIONS AND I CERTAINLY SHARE
A LOT OF THOSE CONCERNS BUT-
MY- CONCERNS ARE ALSO WERE
RAISED WITH. WHAT MY COLLEAGUE
IMAGES FROM SAN FRANCISCO AS
WELL AND I KNOW THE AUTHOR WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THESE
SMALLER- CANNABIS ENTITIES AND
I HOPE SHE CONTINUES TO DO THAT
ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO
DRESSING THE TESTING ISSUE THAT
I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW-
WHICH SEEMS TO BE THAT THE ROOT
OF THE ISSUE- I DON'T HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS AS OF YET BUT I WILL
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY- BUT I
WOULD LIKE IT I KNOW. GOOD
FAITH EFFORTS SHOULD CONTINUE
WORKING ON THIS AND HEAR THE
CONCERNS A LOT OF WORK AND
CLEAR BACK HOME THANK YOU THANK
YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS SEEING
NONE- SUMMER I WANT TO THANK
YOU. FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS
BILL- I KNOW WE HAVE TO FIRST
OF ALL IT KNOWLEDGE THAT THE
VOTERS MADE CLEAR THAT- THEY
WANTED- MARIJUANA LEGALIZED IN
THE STATE- WHEN IT COMES TO HIM
MORE PARTICULARLY UNFORTUNATE
WE DON'T HAVE A- FOR REGULATION
SO THE. THING IS YOU POINTED
OUT- THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN
FACT FOR THE PEOPLE AND YOU
KNOW AS PETERSON I TOO AM
CONCERNED ABOUT EXPOSURE OF
CHILDREN- BUT I WOULD MAKE NOTE
OF THAT- WITHOUT THIS BILL-
THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN
FACT THIS BILL PUTS LIMITS ON
THAT- MAYBE NOT LIMITS THAT-
SOME PEOPLE ARE ENTIRELY-
THRILLED WITH BUT I'D ALSO SAY
THAT SOME BILLS LIMITS ARE IN
THE CONTEXT THE FACT THAT THE
VOTERS LEGALIZED. WANT SO WE
UNFORTUNATELY WE- WELL
FORTUNATE UNFORTUNATELY
BASICALLY THE PEOPLE WHO WANT
TO. BAN THIS ALL TOGETHER
PERHAPS- AND- YOU KNOW THAT
WOULD BE GOING AGAINST THE
CENTURY THE OVERALL WILL OF THE
VOTERS WHEN HE CAME TO THE
LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA
ITSELF. SO I THINK THIS IS IN A
IN A SENSE IS ALSO AN EMERGENCY
BILL- BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO
HAVE AT LEAST SOME FORM OF
REGULATORY. MECHANISM I'LL ALSO
MAKE NOTE THAT- CERTAINLY.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FDA BUT
THE FDA HASN'T ACTED YET AND WE
CAN'T JUST LEAVE IT AS A
VACUUM. UNTIL THE FDA ACTS-
BECAUSE AGAIN I THINK IN MY
PERSPECTIVE TO CHILDREN BEING
AFFECTED. I APPRECIATE YOU-
WORKING WITH US TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE ABOUT THE I GUESS THE
DOSAGE OR EXPOSURE OF WHICH I
JUST REMIND IS. IS BASED ON THE
FEDERAL STANDARD AND ENSURES
THAT NO ONE'S GONNA BE EXPOSED
ANYMORE THAN THE FEDERAL
STANDARD READIES IN PLACE. AND
AND I ALSO APPRECIATE YOU
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION. ON SOME OF THE
POINTS THAT THE OPPOSITION HAS
CONCERNED ABOUT- SO CERTAINLY I
MEAN YOU KNOW. IT'S I THINK
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT WE CONTINUE
MOVE FORWARD THIS LEGISLATION.
AND WHAT THAT WHICH I LIKE
CLOTHES. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT
JUST SAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS
LIKE TAKE THOSE SERIOUSLY AND I
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION. LET'S FACE IT. YOU
CAN GO TO ANY STORE RIGHT NOW.
AND YOU CAN GET THIS PRODUCT
EVEN THOUGH THERE'S NO LABELING
ON IT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S
ONLY SAFE. FOR SENIOR CITIZENS
BUT A FATHER'S THE DECIDE TO
USE THIS PRODUCT WHETHER IT'S A
CREAM. FOR THOSE. OF THE
BEVERAGE WHATEVER IT MIGHT BE
BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE DO
SOME REGULATION REGULATION ON.
SO WITHOUT MY CLOTHES. AND THEN
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK AND- I.

YOUR STAFF- I WILL BE ACCEPTING
ALL COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS THAT
ARE SPECIFIED IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS- WHICH SHOULD REMOVE-
HOPEFULLY THE CALIFORNIA
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION WILL
CONFIRM THAT THEY'RE REMOVING
THEIR OPPOSITION TO THIS THIS
MEASURE. I'M PRESENTING EIGHTY
TWO SEVEN NINE. TO HELP PROTECT
NURSING HOME RESIDENTS DURING
THIS PANDEMIC. THIS MEASURE
RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IN
THE SAMPLING. WITH SUPPORT FROM
THE A. R. P. THE CALIFORNIA
LONG TERM CARE OMBUDSMAN
ASSOCIATION AND THE CALIFORNIA
ADVOCATES FOR NURSING HOME
REFORM. THIS BILL WILL
TEMPORARILY HALT NURSING HOME
EVICTIONS AND INVOLUNTARY
TRANSFERS UNLESS MEDICAL
MEDICALLY NECESSARY DURING THIS
COVERT STATE OF EMERGENCY.
SENIORS LIVING IN NURSING HOMES
AS WE ALL KNOW HAVE BEEN AMONG
THE MOST VULNERABLE TO COME OF
IT. IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE
PANDEMIC THEY ACCOUNTED FOR
ALMOST HALF OF ALL DEATHS. DUE
TO COVE IT. ACCORDING TO A NEW
YORK TIMES ARTICLE THAT IS
REFERENCED IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. NURSING HOMES IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. HAVE BEEN DUMPING
THOUSANDS OF RESIDENTS NURSING
HOME RESIDENTS AND HOMELESS
SHELTERS AND OTHER UNSAFE
FACILITIES DURING THIS PANDEMIC.
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIGHER
PRIVATE INSURANCE OR MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES. HERE IN
CALIFORNIA ONE EXAMPLE IS ROCK
PORT HEALTHCARE SERVICES WHICH
MANAGES THE STATE'S LARGEST
CHAIN OF FOR PROFIT NURSING
HOMES THEY HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY
CITED FOR ILLEGAL EVICTIONS. IN
LOS ANGELES MY JOIN AUTHOR ON
THIS BILL ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SANTIAGO. PRESENTS BOYLE
HEIGHTS WHERE. THE COMPANY
PACIFICA THE OWNER OF ANOTHER
FOR PROFIT NURSING HOME CHAIN
STARTED TRANSFERRING RESIDENCE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAGING
PANDEMIC SO THAT THEY CAN
CONVERT THE FACILITY INTO
LUXURY APARTMENTS. I AM
CONTINUING TO WORK. ON
AMENDMENTS TO REMOVE ALL
OPPOSITION. AGAIN I BELIEVE
THAT THE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION I
SHOULD BE REMOVING THEIR
OPPOSITION. BUT I ASK YOU
SENATORS AT THE PLEASE HELP
PROTECT VULNERABLE SENIORS
DURING THIS PANDEMIC FOR BEING
EVICTED OR FOUR FROM SUFFERING
TRANSFER TRAUMA. DURING THIS
PANDEMIC. BECAUSE FINANCE-
SUPPORTERS SAY THE MEASURE

MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE
IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
LIKE IF IN THE LAST YEAR YOU
HAD TO LEAVE YOUR CAREER. YOUR
HOME YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS. TO LIVE IN A
NURSING HOME. HE WOULD HAVE
LIVED IN THE LAST YEAR IN NEAR
COMPLETE ISOLATION. SEEING
PEOPLE DIE ALL AROUND DURING
THE PANDEMIC. UNDER CURRENT
RULES YOU CAN BE TOLD THAT YOU
WILL BE EVEN BIGGER. THIRTY
DAYS. EVEN THOUGH YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO
CURSE IT'S A NEW FACILITY THAT
MIGHT. BECAUSE OF ONGOING
COVERT VISITATION RESTRICTIONS
THAT THAT SOUNDS UNFAIR THAT'S
BECAUSE IT. IS BROKEN. STATE
AND MUNICIPAL THAT EARLY CAN.
LOW MANY HELD. WE JUST FILE IT
CAN EXTEND TOWARDS ON THE-
YESTERDAY. BUT NONE OF THOSE
RULES HAVE APPLIED TO THE MOST
VULNERABLE AMONG. ISOLATED
ELDERLY ANDDISABLED PEOPLE
LIVING. THERE EIGHTY TWO SEVEN
MILLION WOULD REQUIRE THAT ONLY
FINANCIALLY HEALTHY FACILITIES.
CORPORATE EARLY RESTRICTED FROM
UNDERTAKING CERTAIN INVOLUNTARY
CONVICTIONS DURING THE STATE OF
EMERGENCY. UNLIKE OTHER
LANDLORDS SUBJECT TO DEPICTION
MORATORIUM HOWEVER UNDER EIGHTY
TWO SEVEN NINE USABILITY CAN
STILL BE REIMBURSED. UNDER
PROGRAMS LIKE MEDICAID AND
MEDICARE FOR CONTINUING TO
HOUSE RESIDENTS. WE URGE YOUR
YES CLOSE TO THAT IMPORTANT BUT
TEMPORARY. MEASURE TO HELP OUR
SENIORS AND DISABLED PEOPLE
MAINTAIN SAFE PLACES TO LIVE
DURING. THIS PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS THANK YOU. THANK YOU

SCHERING HERE OKAY. THE I'M
VACCINATED I GET FROM. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR WE
WISH YOU LUCK IN THE COMMITTEE-
SENATOR WIENER ARE YOU GOING TO
BE FROM DOING THE NEXT BILL AS
WELL YES I THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR- I AM PRESENTING AV FIVE
SEVENTY ALSO ON BEHALF OF THE
SUMMER SANTIAGO- AND HEALTH
CARE ACT- AND I'M- ON BEHALF OF
THE SUMMER SANTIAGO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE'S. AMENDMENTS EIGHTY
FIVE SEVENTY WILL ALLOW ADULT
CHILDREN TO ADD THEIR DEPENDENT
PARENTS WERE STEPPARENTS TO
HEALTH CARE PLANS- THE PARENT
OR STEPPAENT MUST BE THE
FEDERAL DEFINITION OF A QUOTE
QUALIFYING RELATIVE. MEANING
THAT THEY RELY ON THEIR ADULT
CHILDREN FOR MORE THAN 50% OF
THEIR FINANCIAL SUPPORT. OTHERS
NO AGE REQUIREMENT- THE BILLS
RECENTLY AMENDED AND NOW ONLY
APPLIES TO THE INDIVIDUAL
INSURANCE MARKET NOT EMPLOYER
SPONSORED HEALTH PLANS. THIS
BILL WILL SAVE FAMILIES MONEY
ON HEALTH CARE COSTS BY
ALLOWING THEM TO COMBINE COSTS
AND PROVIDES A GREAT OPTION FOR
MIXED STATUS FAMILIES AS
UNDOCUMENTED ADULTS ARE AN
ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE. UNDER
COVERED CALIFORNIA- WITH ME
TODAY ARE- ARE OUR MAIN
WITNESSES MICHAEL MARTINEZ FROM
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE ON BY BEHALF OF
COMMISSIONER ON A LOT OF- AND
THEN- BRUCE BRUCE HINES WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS
HERE. FOR TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
RIVAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SENATOR IF WE COULD PLEASE OPEN
IT IS MR MARTINEZ IN THE
CHAMBER. I'M ON THE PHONE SURE
EDMONTON OKAY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH OPERATOR IF YOU COULD OPEN
A PHONE LINE FOR MISTER
MARTINEZ R. FIRST PERSON. YES
GOOD AFTERNOON SURE ADMIN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MICHAEL MARTINEZ. SENIOR DEPUTY
COMMISSIONER LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR FOR INSURANCE
COMMISSIONER CARLOTTA THE
TELEPHONE DEPARTMENT OF
INSURANCE. HE IS VERY PROUD TO
BE THE SPONSOR OF ASSEMBLY BILL
FIVE SEVENTY AND THEN WE REALLY
WANT TO THANK YOU FAMILY MEMBER
SANTIAGO AND OF COURSE SENATOR
WE KNOW FOR PRESENTING- THIS
IMPORTANT HEALTH ACCESS MEASURE
KNOWN AS THE PARENT. HEALTHCARE
ACT. EIGHTY FIVE SEVENTY IS AN
IMPORTANT STEP IN EXPANDING
COVERAGE OPTIONS IN THE
INDIVIDUAL MARKET TO WORKING
FAMILIES. WORKING FAMILIES CAN
CURRENTLY BUY SEPARATE POLICIES
AND THE INDIVIDUAL MARKET FOR
THEIR DEPENDENT PARENTS YET AT
A SIGNIFICANT COST TO THE
FAMILY BECAUSE EXISTING LAW
FORCES THE FAMILY TO PAY
SEPARATE OUT OF POCKET COSTS
AND MEET SEPARATE DEDUCTIBLES
POINT FOR THE WORKING FAMILY
AND ANOTHER FOR THE DEFENDANT
PARENT. THIS BILL EIGHTY FIVE
SEVENTY WOULD CHANGE THIS BY
ALLOWING THE FAMILY. INCLUDING
THE DEPENDENT PARENTS TO BE ON
ONE SINGLE POLICY. COMBINING
THEIR OUT OF POCKET COSTS AS
WELL AS THEIR DEDUCTIBLE TO
SAVE SOME MONEY. FIFTY FIVE
SEVENTY FOCUSES ON THE
INDIVIDUAL MARKET BECAUSE IT IS
CONSIDERED A MARKET OF LAST
RESORT. FOR CALIFORNIANS
WITHOUT EMPLOYER BASED
COVERAGE. ALLOWING ADULT
CHILDREN TO THEIR PARENTS TO
THEIR FAMILY POLICY LOWERS THE
FAMILY'S COSTS WITHOUT IMPACT
TO THE RITUAL OF THE INDIVIDUAL
MARKET BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS
WOULD HAVE BOUGHT AN INDIVIDUAL
POLICY ANYWAY. NOW FOR MOST
FAMILIES IF THE DEPENDENT
PARENT QUALIFIES FOR MEDI CAL
OR MEDICARE DOCUMENT PROGRAM
WILL BE A BETTER DEAL FOR THE
FAMILY. BUT FOR CONSUMERS
WITHOUT ACCESS TO THESE
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS FOR THEIR
DEPENDENT PARENTS. WILL PROVIDE
SOME AN END TO TOY. AS THEY
DECIDE THE COVERAGE THAT BEST
SUITS THE NEEDS FROM HER FAMILY.
WHEN WE NEEDED SHARES CHILDREN
OUR PARENTS WERE ALWAYS THERE
FOR US. AS OUR PARENTS AGE A
LOT OF US IN TURN HAVE BECOME
THEIR CARETAKERS AND THIS IS
GOING EVEN HARDER TO THE
PANDEMIC AND RESULTING ECONOMIC
CRISIS. IN CLOSING NOW THAT OUR
PARENT TEACHER WE SHOULD BE
ABLE TO CARE FOR THEM AS OUR
PARENTS TOOK CARE OF US WHEN WE
WERE CHILDREN. PART OF THAT
CARE SHOULD BE AN OPTION TO ADD
THEM TO OUR SAME INDIVIDUAL
HEALTH COVERAGE WITH EIGHTY
FIVE SEVENTY THIS CAN BE A RIP
REALITY SO THAT THERE CAN BE.
SO THAT WE CAN BE THERE FOR
THEM I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR ITEM THANK YOU THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MISTER MARTINEZ AND
WE HAVE ALSO BRUCE HINES. A YOU

EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS I AM ALSO
INCREASE CARSHARING PAID BY
INDIVIDUALS IN THE INDIVIDUAL

AN ADDITIONAL MANDATE ALSO
MOVED HIS LEGS THE LEGISLATIVE
SESSION BUT WE DO HAVE. A
CONCERN THAT THE FILMING ONLY
FURTHER INCREASE THE COST OF
HEALTHCARE COVERAGE.
PARTICULARLY FOR FAMILIES TO
BUY COVERAGE OUTSIDE OF THE
EXCHANGE. ADDITIONALLY WE ARE
CONCERNED THAT TE PROPOSAL YOU

FRAME OF THE BILL AS MANY OF
YOU KNOW HEALTH PLANS AND
INSURERS FILED THEIR TWO
THOUSAND AND TWENTY TWO RIGHT
FILINGS FOR REVIEW BY THE

CREATED BY THIS BILL WOULD
CERTAINLY NEED TO BE INCLUDED
YET DUE TO THE TIMING OF THE
CELL PLANT MANAGERS AND NOT BE
ABLE TO CONSIDER THIS AS A PART
OF THEIR TWO THOUSAND AND
TWENTY TWO GREAT DEVELOPMENT.
FOR THAT REASON WE WOULD
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THE BILL
IMPLEMENTATION DATE EXTENDED
AFTER JANUARY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY THREE IN ORDER TO GET
HEALTH PLANS INSURERS NECESSARY
TIME TO DEVELOP THEIR ACTUARIAL
METHODOLOGIES. FOR THESE
REASONS REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE

TO COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE
QUESTIONS COMING FROM COMMITTEE
MEMBER CENTER RUBIO. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I FIRST I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR WORKING SO
HARD TO. TRY AND ELIMINATE THIS
OUT VERY DANGEROUS CHEMICAL AND
I ALSO HEARD FROM I GUESS THE
OPPOSITION. SUPPORTERS HOW HARD
HE HAS WORKED TO REALLY- BRING
EVERYONE TO THE TABLE AND TAKE
EVERYONE'S CONCERNS- SERIOUSLY
AND CLEARLY REFLECTED IN SOME
OF THE DATA IN THE BILL
ALREADY- I JUST WANNA ADDRESS
TWO THINGS AND THAT'S JUST-
AGAIN JUST GIVE THE OTHER
DEPUTY TO SHARE. HIS THOUGHTS.
ARE I THINK THERE WAS A COMMENT
ABOUT THE DEFINITION OF
INTENTIONALITY ADDED. AND THE
PERHAPS THE ABILITY TO
INTERPRET THAT DIFFERENTLY. IT
MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH THE
WAY IT'S USED. BY OTHERS- IF HE
CAN ADDRESS SUCH AS FOR CLARITY
THANK YOU. SEVENTEEN THIRTY
CENTER PUSHES YOUR COMMENTS IN
YOUR QUESTION- WE THOUGHT THAT
THAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO
DEFINE. WHETHER A CHEMICALS IN
THERE I THINK THE POINT IS. TO
IDENTIFY- P. FASTEN THOSE
FOREVER CHEMICALS THAT THAT
WERE REALLY INTENTIONALLY ADDED
RATHER THAN. PERHAPS THERE ARE
SOME ACCIDENTAL ADDITION OR-
SOME SORT OF. ELEMENT THAT WAS
NOT THE INTENTION OF THE-
COMPANY AND WE THOUGHT THAT
THAT WAS THE BEST WAY TO. SORT
OF IDENTIFY THAT PARTICULAR-
PRODUCT BUT AGAIN. WE'RE HAPPY
TO CONTINUE TO HAVE
DISCUSSIONS. WITH OPPOSITION
ABOUT WHAT HE WHAT THE MOST
APPROPRIATE WAY. TO IDENTIFY
THAT PARTICULAR ELEMENT AS-
THANK YOU THAT DOES SOUND TO MY
QUESTION ND I YOU KNOW THANK
YOU I JUST I THOUGHT I HEARD
YOU SAY YOU'LL CONTINUE TO WORK
ON THAT ISSUE- AND DOES
SECONDLY I ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS
THIS BECAUSE I MEAN I'M HEARING
FROM- THE OPPOSITION THE
PROPONENTS. LITTLE BIT OF A
CONFLICT IF I MAY ALSO
ADDRESSES WITH THE OTHER GIVE
HIM THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLARIFY
AGAIN JUST TO MAKE SURE ON.
IT'S CLEAR I MEAN I JUST HEARD
A LOT OF ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS-
STRONGLY SUPPORTING YOUR BILL
WHICH IS GREAT AND I ALSO HEARD
FROM THE OPPOSITION THAT. THIS
BILL OR- SOME OTHER PORTIONS OF
THIS BILL MAY BE IN CONFLICT
WITH THE STATE'S RECYCLING
GOALS AND AGAIN JUST FOR
CLARITY CAN YOU ADDRESS THAT.
THANK YOU. RICHARD I DON'T
THINK THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING-
AGAIN THE MADE IMPETUS FOR THE-
HE FAST ESPECIALLY IN FOOD
PACKAGING IS. QUITE OFTEN- TO
SAY IN MY JURISDICTION I'M VERY
FORTUNATE THAT WE ACTUALLY
ALLOW FOOD PACKAGING INTO OUR
COMPOST HOWEVER IF THE FOOD
PACKAGING HAS P. FASTER SOME OF
THESE OTHER- FOREVER CHEMICALS
ACTUALLY POLLUTES THE COMPASS
SO- AGAIN- I DON'T BELIEVE THAT
THERE IS A PARTICULAR CONFLICT
WITH OUR STATES- RECYCLING LAWS
BUT AGAIN THE ELEMENT WAS TO
MAKE SURE. THAT THESE CHEMICALS
DON'T IN PARTICULAR THE IMPACT
THE COMPOSTING BUT ALSO DON'T
HARM TO INDIVIDUALS FOR USING
IT ON THE OTHER PIECE IS MANY
COMPANIES. FOR TWO LARGE FAST
FOOD COMPANIES THEY ALREADY
PURCHASED- NON P. FAST FOOD
PACKAGING IT'S QUITE RANDOM AT
THE CLUB IT'S BASED ON LOCATION
AND WHICH- WHICH- FOOD
PACKAGING- PRODUCERS ACTUALLY
PRODUCING IT BUT- WHAT WE WANT
TO DO IT BY SENDING SENDING
THIS VERY STRONG SIGNAL LEAST
IN CALIFORNIA TO ENSURE THAT
ALL THE CALIFORNIA RESTAURANTS
ARE PURCHASING FOOD PACKAGING
THAT NO. LONGER HAS THESE
PICTURES CHEMICALS. WELL ONCE
AGAIN JUST WANT THANK THE
AUTHOR HE'S DONE A LOT OF WORK
TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE
CONCERNS FOR DRESSING YOU KNOW
THESE ARE JUST MINOR QUESTIONS
FOR CLARIFICATION. BUT I DO
APPRECIATE HIS STATEMENT ABOUT
CONTINUED TO WORK ON THIS AND I
WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL

NUMBER. THIRTEEN EIGHTY TWELVE
SEVENTY THREE BY SUMMARIZED
REGUS. WELCOME. FOR THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS AB TWELVE
SEVENTY THREE WOULD PROMOTE-
LEARN TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES BY
DOING TWO THINGS FIRST IT WOULD
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO THE INTER
AGENCY COUNCIL ON
APPRENTICESHIP STANDARDS
BECAUSE THOSE DEPARTMENTS CAN
POSITIVELY IMPACT BURNER AND
OPPORTUNITIES SECOND THIS BILL
WOULD PROHIBIT THOSE
DEPARTMENTS FROM DISCOURAGING
OR NUMBER. OPPORTUNITIES THE
APPEALS TO APPEARS TO BE NO
VALID POLICY REASON TO PROHIBIT
TRAINEES FROM BEING COMPENSATED
FOR THE WORK THEY DO DURING
CLINICAL TRAINING IN THE FIELD.
IN FACT PROHIBITING ARNOLD ARE
DISCOURAGED THE MORE DIVERSE
GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM ENTERING
THE HEALTH CARE FIELD BECAUSE-
THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE
HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF CLINICAL
EXPERIENCE WITHOUT PAIN MAKING
IT. PROHIBITIVE FOR THOSE WHO
CANNOT AFFORD TO. THIS BILL
THIS COMPROMISE. OF SOME OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WERE
INCLUDED IN THE INTERNAL REPORT
PUBLISHED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
CONSUMER AFFAIRS LAST YEAR
WHICH IS REQUIRED BY MY EIGHTY
TWENTY ONE OF FIVE AND TWENTY
SIXTEEN. AT THE TIME AND
HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE
DESPERATELY NEEDED TO SERVE OUR
POPULATION. THIS BILL WOULD
HELP BRIDGE THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
CAN ENCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM
DIVERSE ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS TO
JOIN THE WORK FORCE. COMING IN
TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS
MATT THE SHEIK REPRESENTING AND
SHOW YOU AND HELEN ROTH DOWD
AND REPRESENTING. THE JEWISH
VOCATIONAL SERVICE. THANKS VERY.
S. AND THEN THE MEMBER- BUT
REGUS AND- THAT'S A MODERATE
PLEASE BRING ON THE LINE MATT
LUCE FROM S. A. U. CALIFORNIA
STATE COUNCIL AND HELEN DALAM
FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO JEWISH
VOCATIONAL SERVICES BEGIN WITH
METALLURGY. TWO MINUTES GOOD
AFTERNOON JERRY MEMBERS MET
WITH JAY ON BEHALF OF S. U.
CALIFORNIA AND STRONG SUPPORT
OF P. TWELVE SEVENTY THREE.
FIRST I LIKE TO THINK THE CHAIR
AND STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON
THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE. I WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD
IN CONTINUING TO CHAMPION
EARNING. MORE WE SHALL GET
PROFESSIONAL. DO YOU BELIEVE
THAT- MY PROGRAMS ARE CRITICAL
TOOL TO ADDRESS CALIFORNIA'S
GROWING WORK FORCE SHORTAGE. BY
INSURING REGARDLESS OF
INDIVIDUAL SOCIAL ECONOMIC
BACKGROUNDS- YOU CAN PURSUE
THEIR DREAM OF BECOMING A
HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL. I WAS
A MEMBER OF THE EIGHTY TWENTY
ONE OF FIVE COMMITTEE WHERE
LABOR MANAGEMENT EDUCATION
PROVIDERS LICENSING BOARD AND
THE DEPARTMENT. OF RECREATION
STANDARDS CAME TOGETHER TO
CRITICALLY EXAMINE WHAT
CALIFORNIA CAN DO. TO REMOVE
BARRIERS TO EARN AND LEARN
PROGRAMMES. AT TWELVE SEVENTY
THREE TAKES TWO KEY
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE REPORT
TO ADDRESSBARRIERS FOR.
PROGRAMS IN CALIFORNIA THE
FIRST IS TO ENSURE THAT THE
GATEKEEPERS TO HEALTHCARE
CAREERS A LICENSING BOARDS. ARE
WORKING MORE COLLABORATIVELY
COLLABORATIVELY WITH STATE
ENTITIES AND STAKEHOLDERS ARE
WORKING ON DEVELOPING OUR MARCH
STANDARDS. IN THESE
PROFESSIONS. THE SECOND IS TO
ENSURE THAT PROGRAM
ACCREDITATION WHICH IS WHEN A
PRIVATE ORGANIZATION CERTIFIED
PROGRAM NEEDS THEIR- PRIVACY.
ANDERS- THE ARE NOT PREPARED
TO- EARNING MORE. HOW LIGHTING
BOARD AND HOW DEFERRED PROGRAM
THE CREDITORS TO ENSURE THE
APPLICANTS HAD GONE TO A
REPUTABLE SCHOOL. IN IN
ADDITION TO TESTING FOR OTHER
LICENSING REQUIREMENTS. EIGHTY
TWELVE SEVENTY THREE SIMPLY
STATES THAT WHEN A LICENSING
BOARD LOOKS TO A PRIVATE
ACCREDITING BODY WE MUST ENSURE
THAT THOSE BODIES DO NOT
PROHIBIT. PROGRAMS TO BE CLEAR
THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT IN
EIGHTY TWELVE SEVENTY THREE
FOUR MANDATE THAT A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PROGRAM OR OTHER
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR
EMPLOYER PARTICIPATE IN OUR IN
OUR PROGRAM. THIS IS SIMPLY A
REVIEW OF EXISTING LICENSING
LAWS TO ENSURE THAT THE
LICENSING REQUIREMENTS IN
CALIFORNIA ALIGNED WITH OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT TOOL TWO MINUTES
FOR THESE REASONS I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR EYES
OUT THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK
YOU NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO HELEN
DALVIN. FROM SAN FRANCISCO
JEWISH VOCATIONAL SERVICES. HI
THIS IS REID OUT IN I WAS ALSO
AS NETWORK A MAN OF THE ONE OH
FIVE TASK FOR. IN CURRENTLY
LISTED ON THE ON THE PAYMENT OF
THE- TWO THAT DEPARTMENT
CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND CURRENTLY
SIT ON THE I. AKA HEALTH
SUBCOMMITTEE. AND I WON'T
REPEAT A LOT OF SWEAT THAT
MATTER ALREADY SAD BUT JUST TO
POINT OUT THAT THIS BILL- TO
MEET US OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS
THE THIRD RECOMMENDATION. IS AN
AB TWELVE THIRTY SIX NOW AT A
TRAILER BILL WHICH ADDRESSES
THE LACK OF DEMOGRAPHIC DATA
COLLECTED BY HEALTH LEGISLATION
SIR. BOARDS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS
IT PRO IT WILL PROHIBIT A
PRIVATE ACCREDITING AGENCIES
FOR BANNING THE USE OF EARN AND
LEARN. AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY
IMPORTANT SINCE OVER 18% OF
CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE HASN'T
HEALTH RELATED LICENSURE. AND
HEALTH IS ONE OF THE FASTEST
GROWING AREAS IN THE ECONOMY.
ONE OUT OF FOUR JOBS IS
PROTECTED COULD BE RELATED TO
HEALTHCARE. SO WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT PARTICULARLY STUDENTS
WHO MIGHT BE COME FROM
DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS.
GENERAL AND ON. THESE PROGRAMS.
BECAUSE AS IT IS NOW AT THE
THEY CAN'T. BE EMPLOYED AND- IN
A PRO AND EDUCATION PROGRAM NOW
INSTEAD THEY HAVE TO FOREGO
INCOME FOR UP TO TWO YEARS AGO
AND TO DEATH. WITH ONE
EXCEPTION IS EVERYONE AT REALLY
AN EXAMPLE OF THE BOARD OF
REGISTERED NURSING WHICH ALLOWS
HER TO LEARN MODELS. OF THE
INDEPENDENT ROLE AND- WITHOUT
REDUCING THE QUALITY OF THEIR
TRAINING OR THEIR EDUCATION.
THEY CAN GAIN ARE IN LICENSE
HERE IN THE ONE PROGRAM I'VE
BEEN INVOLVED WITH. THIS I
DON'T IAN'S HE WENT FROM FORTY
FIVE THOUSAND A YEAR NINETY
THREE THOUSAND A YEAR AN 85% OF
THE LPN WORK FORCES ACTUALLY
MINORITIES. SO THIS IS A HUGE
WAY OF THEM GETTING INTO VERY
MIDDLE CLASS ARE IN JOBS. LET
ME GIVE YOU A CONTEST WHICH IS
PRIVATE LICENSURE ENTITY FOR
RADIOLOGY TECHNICIANS. THEIR
LICENSE WHO ARE LICENSED IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
ACCORDING TO THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DATA OBTAINING AFTER
OBTAINING A LEISURELY ELEGY
TECHNICIAN DEGREE OR
CERTIFICATION. YOU CAN EARN
BETWEEN EIGHTY EIGHT AND NINETY
THOUSAND DOLLARS AFTER FIVE
YEARS OLD AND PLEASE READ THIS
IS ANOTHER GOOD MIDDLE CLASS
JOBS. SO WHEN I JUST IN CLOSING
I WANT TO SAY IS I THINK THAT.
CALIFORNIA LAW AUTO SUPERSEDE

WILL NOW MOVE ON THE QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE
MEMBERS- CENTER RAS. THANK YOU
MR CHAIR YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
LISTENING TO THE- PUBLIC
COMMENTS IN THE TESTIMONY I'M-
BUT I'M CERTAINLY A SUPPORTER
OF EARN AND LEARN PARTICULARLY
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
PARTICULARLY IN THE HEALTHCARE
FIELD AND PARTICULARLY GIVEN
THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR STATE I
AM SOMEWHAT CONCERNED THOUGH AS
TO WHETHER WE REALLY HAVE A
HANDLE ON THE- SCHOOLS. THE
STUDENTS IN THE OCCUPATIONS
THAT MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED.
BY THE CONTENT OF THIS BILL
OBVIOUSLY WE'VE HEARD FROM A
LOT OF THE FOLKS IN THE
RADIOLOGY FEELS NUCLEAR
MEDICINE AND THE LIKE. BUT FOR
EXAMPLE IF A IF AN ACCREDITING
BODY. DOES NOT PERMIT EARN AND
LEARN IF THE ACCREDITING BODY
PERHAPS IS THE ONLY ACCREDITING
BODY IN THE NATION THAT
ACCREDITS SCHOOLS AND THERE ARE
AT LEAST A FEW OF THOSE IDEAS
AS I RECALL PHYSICIANS
ASSISTANTS FOR EXAMPLE. AT
LEAST AT ONE POINT IN TIME HAD
ONE ACCREDITING BODY IN THE- IN
THE COUNTRY. IN SCHOOLS AND
STUDENTS DEPEND ON
ACCREDITATION IN ORDER TO
GRADUATE AND TO GET JOBS AND
CERTAINLY WELL PERHAPS THEY MAY
BE WORKING BE ABLE TO WORK IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO HAVE THE SORT OF
MOBILITY THAT THEY FULLY EXPECT
TO HAVE. WHEN THEY PAY THE
MONEY THAT SOME OF THEM PAY TO
GO TO SOME OF THESE SCHOOLS AND
OBTAIN. THE CREDENTIALS. SO I'M
BOTH I JUST SAID I'M GOOD I'M
CONCERNED SO I GUESS I HAVE
HAVING MADE THAT COMMENT I HAVE
A I HAVE A QUESTION. OF THE
AUTHOR IF YOU WILL ACCEPT IT
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT ASKING
IN ADVANCE. THESE THANK YOU MR
SO IF- IF THE PARTICULAR
ACCREDITING BODY DOES NOT
PERMIT EARN AND LEARN. IF IT'S
THE ONLY ACCREDITING BODY THAT
ACCREDITS PROGRAMS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. AND IF THE
ACCREDITING BODY HAPPENS TO BE
OUTSIDE THE JURISDICTION OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE IN
THE LAWS THAT WE PASS HERE.
WHAT'S THE SOLUTION AND WHAT'S
THE IMPACT OF ON CALIFORNIA
SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA STUDENTS.
WELL THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN
DEFINITELY LOOK AT WITH- THE
SPONSORS AS WELL OBVIOUSLY THAT
THE OPPOSITION THAT CAME IN AS
WE SPOKE. FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES-
THAT CAME IN LATE JUST RECENTLY
SEVEN REALLY BEEN ABLE TO
ADDRESS THEIR ISSUES AND
CONCERNS BUT DEFINITELY WAITING
TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM I HAVE-
REACHED OUT TO ME AS WELL SINCE
I JUST SORT OF THEIR
OPPOSITION. SO AS SOON AS I GET
ARE IN WRITING BACK FROM THEM I
LOOK AT DRESSING THEIR ISSUES
OBVIOUSLY THIS COULD BE A
COMPLICATION WITH SOME OF THESE
AGENCIES BUT DEFINITELY I'M I'M
WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM TO
SEE WHAT YOUR FOLKS IN A BETTER
PLACE. I THINK ONE OF THE
BIGGEST ISSUES IS- SOME OF
THESE FOLKS BELIEVE THAT- THIS
BILLMANDATES PAYMENTS TO
STUDENTS WHICH IT DOES NOT IT
SIMPLY EASES RESTRICTIONS THAT
CURRENTLY. DO NOT ALLOW
STUDENTS TO EARN MONEY. FOR THE
FREE WORK THEY'RE DOING. TWENTY
FIVE MISTER JUST ANOTHER. OR
TWO. PLEASE THANK YOU TO THE
AUTHOR FOR LOOKING INTO THIS
I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT WE CAN
IMPACT. NECESSARILY IF THE
ACCREDITING BODY IS LOCATED IN
NORTH CAROLINA OR GEORGIA OR
CHICAGO WHEN WE- SAY THE
ACCREDITING BODIES MAY NOT.
RESTRICT EARN AND LEARN I DON'T
KNOW THAT THEY HAVE TO PAY ANY
ATTENTION TO US AND THEN IF
THAT'S THE BODY THAT ACCREDITS
THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM I DON'T
KNOW WHAT HAPPENS TO THE-
SCHOOL IF THE ACCREDITING BODY
DECIDES NOT TO ACCREDIT THE
SCHOOL. AND THE STUDENTS THAT
ARE PARTICIPATING IN IT. DO WE
KNOW FOR EXAMPLE HAVING. KNOWN
MY CURRENT ASSIGNMENT I DABBLE
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER
AFFAIRS AND THE VERS BOARDS AND
BUREAUS THAT. FALL UNDER THAT
DO WE KNOW HOW MANY OF THE
BOARDS AND BUREAUS IN THE-
PROGRAMS THAT ARE LICENSED BY
THOSE BOARDS AND BUREAUS HOW
MANY OF THEM. HAVE EARN AND
LEARN- RESTRICTIONS AND HOW
MANY. OF THOSE PROGRAMS ARE
ACCREDITED BY. THE BODIES OR
ENTITIES OR AGENCIES THAT
PROHIBIT EARN AND LEARN. IF I
MAY I KNOW- BACK IN- TWENTY
SIXTEEN MY A. B. TWENTY ONE OH
FIVE WITH SIX POINT THE ISSUE I
BELIEVE ABOUT LEISURE FREE
STILL ON HE COULD PROBABLY
GOING TO BE MORE DETAIL ON THAT
IF IT'S POSSIBLE YES CAN
REBUILD PLEASE BRING BACK MATT
LUCE FROM S. YEAH YOU. GOOD
AFTERNOON- JANITORS AND CHAIR
TWO REGARDING THE TCA THAT
PRIMARILY THE RESPIRATORY
THERAPY- BOARD RESTRICTS
AIRPORT- BUT I THINK IT IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT-
IN TERMS OF THE RAD TAX WHICH
FALLS UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH. WHEN WE WERE IN
DISCUSSION WITH DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH THE ACTION DO NOT
REQUIRE PROGRAMS TO BE
ACCREDITED BY ADAM G. R.
CERTAIN CALIFORNIA SO IN TERMS
OF- PROGRAM STILL BEING ABLE TO
GRADUATE STUDENTS OR NOT THEY
WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO GRADUATE
AND STUDENTS WOULD STILL BE
ABLE TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR
LICENSE IN CALIFORNIA PRACTICE
WITHIN CALIFORNIA. THE REAL
ISSUE AND BROUGHT THAT COMES
WITH THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THAT
NATIONAL CERTIFICATION WHICH-
THAT CUTTING BODY COULD SIMPLY
UPDATE THEIR STANDARDS- TO
ALLOW EARNING MORE PROGRAMS.
AND WOULD COME INTO COMPLIANCE
WITH THE BILL. WELL MR I. AM
NOT SURE I AGREE WITH THAT DID
YOU JUST SAY THAT PROGRAMS.
FALL THAT FALL UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS.
DO NOT NEED TO BE ACCREDITED WE
SPEND A LOT OF TIME TALKING
ABOUT THE NURSING PROGRAMS AND
ACCREDITATION AND VOCATIONAL
NURSING PROGRAMS AND
ACCREDITATION. I HAVE PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE WITH A PHYSICIAN'S
ASSISTANT PROGRAM THAT COULD
NOT RETAIN ITS ACCREDITATION
BECAUSE THEPROGRAM OR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE COULD NOT
OFFER A MASTER'S DEGREE. SO I
WANNA MAKE SURE. I'M CLEAR I
WILL STOP MY QUESTIONS AT THIS
POINT MISTER CHAIR AFTER I GET
A RESPONSE I WILL BE SUPPORTING
THE BILL TO MOVE IT OUT OF THIS
COMMITTEE BUT I HAVE VERY
SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE
IMPACT. ONE HEALTH CARE
TRAINING PROGRAMS AT LEAST
UNTIL I GET A HANDLE ON HOW
MANY THERE ARE. AND WHAT THE
ALTERNATIVES ARE. WITH
RESPECTED ACCREDITATION BUT I
WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE TO MY
QUESTION. SO- DECEMBER
ACTUALLY- I WILL TELL YOU THAT
WHEN WE WHEN THE HEALTH
COMMITTEE STAFF LOOKED AT THE
BILL BECAUSE I THINK THE VERY
QUESTION YOU RAISE IS ONE THAT
WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT AS
WELL- THE WAY THE LANGUAGE IN
THE BILL IS PHRASED AND AGAIN
OBVIOUSLY THE SPONSORS OR THE
AUTHOR- SAM WRONG PLEASE TELL
ME- BUT WHEN WE LOOKED AT THAT-
IT FOR EXAMPLE IT SAYS THAT
THE- DC AIRFARES BOARDS FROM
PROHIBITS THEM FROM-
PROHIBITING APPROVING
ACCREDITING PRO PROGRAM. BUT
IT'S THE DATE THE A AND C. P.
H. AS WELL THAT THE USUALLY THE
BOARD ITSELF IS LICENSING THE
INDIVIDUAL AND NOT THE TRAINING
PROGRAM SO IN SOME SENSE IS
THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS IN
TERMS OF GIVEN THE WAY THE
LANGUAGE IS PHRASED IN THE
LEGISLATION THAT WOULD NOT
DIRECTLY- THAT. THE CDPH
CERTAINLY AS WE TALK ABOUT THE
RADIATION- FOLKS- AS AT THAT
DATE WERE TESTIFYING AS WELL
AS- DCA. AND THAT THEY WOULD
NOT NECESSARILY- BE DIRECTLY-
BECAUSE THE BLADECENTER'S ABOUT
THE INDIVIDUAL AND NOT PROGRAM
THAT- THERE ARE SOME LIMITS TO
HOW MUCH THE- THAT IMPACTED
ACTUALLY HAS ON THE BODY'S
ACTUALLY CREDIT. CREDIT THE
ACTUAL TRAINING PROGRAM ITSELF
WHAT YES MISTER CHAIRMAN YOU
ARE YOU MAY BE MORE OF AN
EXTRANET AND I KNOW BUT I WILL
MISS YOU IF I MAY I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THE BILL THAT. MIGHT AT
LEAST WITH SOME PROGRAMS
INCLUDING THE PROGRAM THAT I
HAVE TO REPORT TO HER IF YOU'RE
NOT A GRADUATE FROM AN
ACCREDITED SCHOOL. RIGHT YOUR
MOBILITY TO THE EXTENT YOU WERE
ABLE TO GET A LICENSE IS
SEVERELY LIMITED. AND I THINK
WE SHOULD AT LEAST BE AWARE OF
THAT AND I WOULD ASK THE AUTHOR
TO CHECK ON THAT BEFORE THE
BILL COMES UP ON THE FLOOR
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN THANK YOU
SERRA OFFICER AGNES. YEAH I
WOULD LIKE TO TOUCH IT SO MY
COMMENTS WITH SENATOR RAWSON
JUSTICE UP ALSO SOMEBODY WHO.
HOLDS A LICENSE THAT HAD TO
HAVE. GRADUATE OF AN ACCREDITED
SCHOOL OF MAKES ME SOMEWHAT
NERVOUS ESPECIALLY SINCE SOME
OF THE- OPPOSITION AND I
UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION WAS
LATE ENOUGH OR- SOMETHING IS
COMMITTED TO. CONTINUE TO LOOK
AT THIS BUT- UP ALL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY BUT
I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT. SOME
OF THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CALLING
INTO OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
WILL WHO ARE OFTEN SOME OF THE
ONLY. PEOPLE WILL PROVIDE THIS
KIND OF EDUCATION AND SOME OF
OUR- AT. NINETY COMMITTEES
WROTE. THANK YOU MR TEAR AND I
DO APOLOGIZE BOUNCING BACK AND
FORTH BETWEEN COMMITTEES I DO
HAVE. A BASICALLY THE SAME COME
A CONCERN THAT SENATOR ROTH HAS
BEEN ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL- I
THINK IT STANDS WITH
RECRUITMENT IF SOME PROGRAMS
ARE. ELIGIBLE TO- PAY FOR THESE
INDIVIDUALS TO GO THROUGH THE
CLINICAL PORTION OF THEIR
STUDIES. I THINK. A LARGE
PORTION OF THE POPULATION AND
THE DOES RECRUITMENT TRAINING
LIKE A CLLEGE IS IN OUR SCHOOL
SYSTEMS- YOU KNOW BIG. BIG SHOW
COLLEGE FOR INSTANCE LIKE MANY
OF THE COLLEGES THAT CALLED IN
AS OPPOSED TO THIS BILL.
BECAUSE OF BAKERSFIELD COLLEGE%
PROGRAM DOESN'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO PAY PEOPLE TO GO
THROUGH THIS RECRUITMENT PART
OR THIS. TRAINING PROGRAM FOR
THE CLINICAL PORTION. WHEN
THEY'RE INTERNING AT THE
HOSPITALS BECAUSE THEY DO- MY
DAUGHTER IS A NURSE BUT THEY
DID TESTING AND TRAINING AT THE
SCHOOL AND THEN THEY DID
CLINICAL PORTIONS OF THE
HOSPITAL IF THEY CAN'T PAY FOR
THEM TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. OR
THE EMPLOYER OR THE BENEFITING
PERSON DOESN'T- ORGANIZATION
DOESN'T PAY FOR THEM. THEN THEY
COULD GO TO A DIFFERENT PROGRAM
AND BECAUSE THEY'RE FREE TO DO
THAT AND IT WOULD BE YOU KNOW
THEIR CHOICE TO GO TO A PROGRAM
THAT PAID THEM TO GO THROUGH
SOME OF THE TRAINING- TO LEARN.
IN SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE
WAGE ALLIES I KNOW THE BILL- I
GUESS I SHOULD ASK THE AUTHOR.
THE BILL DOESN'T MANDATE
PAYMENT- FOR CLINICALS RIGHT-
INTERNS OKAY THERE'S NO MANDATE
FOR PAYMENT AND I THINK THE
CONCERN IS THAT. IF YOU KNOW
HOW STATE CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR
THEIR INTERNS TO HAVE CLINICALS
N. B. C. PLANT. OR MERCED CAN'T
BUT ANOTHER COLLEGE CAN I THINK
THAT'S WHERE THE ROAD IS GOING
TO BE IN IT WOULD BE CONSISTENT
SO- IDEA AND- I DO HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL IN THAT
CASE BUT I JUST THANK YOU FOR
ANSWERING THE QUESTION IT. IT'S
NOT MANDATED BUT I THINK IT
LIES IN THE RECRUITING PIECE-
FOR CLASSES TO CONTINUE AND IT
AFFECTS. THE COLLEGE IS
DIFFERENT IF THEY CAN'T AFFORD
AND TO PAY FOR THE CLINICALS-
IN THE INTERNSHIP PROCESS THANK
YOU SIR FOR LETTING ME ASK
QUESTIONS OF COURSE. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS- RUBIO.
THANK YOU MR CHAIR AND- I DON'T
WANT TO BELABOR THE POINT BUT
CLEARLY THIS ROBUST IMPORTANT
DEBATE HAS CREATED SOME-QUESTIONS THAT- AND I
UNDERSTAND THOUGH THE LATE
OPPOSITION SOMETIMES REALLY
DIFFICULT TO ADDRESS- WHEN IT
COMES TO SLATE AND ALSO AS A
MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE IT'S
DIFFICULT TO. TO TACKLE THESE
ISSUES AND AGAIN I WANT TO
ENCOURAGE THE OPTED TO CONTINUE
TO WORK ON THIS AND REALLY GO
DEEP AND ANSWER SOME OF THESE
QUESTIONS ARE LEFT UNANSWERED
AND I WILL ALSO SUPPORT THE
BILL BUT WITH THE UNDERSTANDING
THAT THESE QUESTIONS AND ISSUES
WILL BE ADDRESSED BEFORE
FOURTEEN KIA. THANK YOU A
CERTAIN AMOUNT THANK YOU
ANYTHING HERE YOU'RE SEEING A
PATTERN HERE OF A KIND OF
COMING IN FEELING REALLY
CONFIDENT AND THEN SWING WE
WAIT WAIT. WHAT'S HAPPENING- IN
AS SOMEONE WHO DID HAVE A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CALL AND- MY
QUESTION IS. YOU CAN YOU JUST
PLEASE CLARIFY IT WHERE THE
FUNDING IS SUPPOSED TO COME
FROM- IS IT THE ACADEMIC
INSTITUTIONS IS THERE GOING TO
BE- A PRIVATE PUBLIC
OPPORTUNITY IS ALL OF THE ABOVE
NOTHING SPECIFIED- AND I GUESS.
I AM THINKING ALONG THE LINES
THAT. IF THEIR FUNDING ISN'T
THERE HOW DOES THAT IMPACT THE
PROGRAM THE EXPERIENCE AND THE
TRAINING- IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
PAIN BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S THE-
WHAT'S THE FALLOUT OF NOT
HAVING SOME OF THIS- AND
CERTAINLY THE ACCREDITATION
PIECES HAS BEEN MENTIONED- IS
ALSO. SOMETHING THAT'S ON MY
MIND. IT DEFINITELY GET IT OVER
WITH THE LATE OPPOSITION TO A
LOT OF QUESTIONS CAME SO I
REALLY CAN'T ANSWER A LOT OF
THEM. HAVE DEFINITELY LOOK INTO
IT AND- MAYBE DIFFERENT AMOUNT
AGAIN WOULD YOU HAVE ANYTHING
TO KIND OF HELP WITH SOME OF
THIS DISCUSSION AND CONCERN FOR
HAVING THAT. YOU HAVE TO GET
BETTER OKAY THE CHAIR. YES
PLEASE DO. YEP AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION BETTER.
I WOULD I WOULD JUST RESPOND BY
SAYING THAT THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT FOR PAYMENT OR
FUNDING TO HAPPEN IN THIS CASE
THIS IS JUST REALLY ENSURING
THAT IT THE PROGRAM. AND WOULD
LIKE TO CREATE A- PROGRAM THAT
YOU CAN DO SO I'M IN ASKING OUR
STATE LICENSING STANDARDS TO
ALIGN WITH THAT TO MAKE SURE
THAT. I'M WAITING- IT'S NOT A-
IT'S NOT A BIG TO THE CREATION
OF RUNNING PROGRAMS. NO
REQUIREMENT ON FUNDING- DID NOT
REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE.
WAGES OR ANYONE TO PROVIDE
REACHES FOR PAYMENT. SO I GUESS
IF I IF I MAY THROUGH THE CHAIR
AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT I GUESS I'M
THINKING WELL WHAT WAS THE IDEA
LIKE WHERE IS THIS GOING TO
COME FROM IS IT POTENTIALLY
FROM THE ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS
AND SO. YOU KNOW I'M GOING TO
BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY I
THINK THAT- THERE'S BEEN A
NUMBER OF COMMENTS THAT ARE
BROUGHT UP AND I ALSO
ENCOURAGE. THE OPPOSITION TO
HELP US BETTER UNDERSTAND SOME
OF THIS BECAUSE I THINK
QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP
BUT I'M NOT SURE WE'VE GOTTEN
SOME OF THE ANSWERS ON EITHER
SIDE- TO HELP US UNDERSTAND
WHAT IT WILL REALLY LOOK LIKE
ONCE IT'S BEING- IMPLEMENTED BY
THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO IMPLEMENT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO BUT IT
BUT IT'S BEEN A ROBUST AN
IMPORTANT DISCUSSION THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS. OKAY SAYING NINE
ACTUALLY I DO HAVE A QUESTION I
JUST WANT TO CLARIFY- SOMEBODY
ELSE ACTUALLY POSE THIS TO- TO-
MATT LUCE BUT THIS YEAR I USE
SO WE DO HAVE FOR EXAMPLE YOU
KNOW WE HAVE OPPONENTS- WHO FOR
EXAMPLE THERE'S THIS JOINT
REVIEW COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION
RADIATION RADIOLOGIC TECHNOLOGY
J. OR SEARCH OUT THERE SHE
TESTIFIED IN OPPOSITION THEY DO
HAVE AN ACCREDITATION
REQUIREMENT. ACTUALLY FOR BIDS-
STUDENTS RUNNING WAGES FOR
CLINICAL HOURS OR- SO WOULDN'T
BILL DOES IS LIKE I WANNA KNOW
WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS ARE SO
WITH THIS BILL BASED ON YOUR
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT YOUR
INTENTIONS OF THE SPELLS A
SPONSOR. FOR BID- PROGRAMS-
DEREK CREDITED BASICALLY J. J.
R. SIR ACCREDITED PROGRAMS FROM
OPERATING HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION THAT I WOULD JUST
RESPOND BY THIS IS ACTUALLY A
REAL REQUIREMENT ON OUR
LICENSING BOARDS WERE THE
GATEKEEPERS FOR THESE PROGRAMS
FOR THEM TO UPDATE THE
STANDARDS AND USE ACCREDITING
BODIES BACK ALLOW EARLY
LEARNING PROGRAMS. OKAY BUT IT
DIDN'T QUITE ANSWER MY QUESTION
MY QUESTION IS THAT OKAY THE-
THE BODY I THINK IT'S C. PH
ACTUALLY ACCEPTS- WITH THIS IS
INTENTION IS BILLED TO SAY
BECAUSE THIS MAY BE I THINK IT
MAY BE I'M NOT SURE FOR SURE
AND MAYBE THE ONLY CREDITING
BODY FOR- FOR. THESE RADIOLOGY
THAT THESE TECHNICIANS
RADIOLOGICAL TECHNICIANS WOULD
FOR BID. C. P. H. FROM
RECOGNIZING GRADUATES. OF
PROGRAMS ARE ACCREDITED BY
JERRY BY JAY ARE SERVED. I
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION IT IT
WOULD. BE J. R. SERV MAINTAIN.
THEIR PROHIBITION AGAINST OUR
OWN LEARN IF WOULD ASK THEM TO-
IT WOULD NOT THEY WOULD NOT USE
THAT CREDIT CARD. BUT I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE
CITY CALIFORNIA FOR RAT PACKS
RECOGNIZES PROGRAMS- IN
RECOGNIZES GRADUATES THAT- ARE
ABLE TO GRADUATE COMPONENT EVEN
IF IT DOESN'T HAVE THE G. R.
CERTIFICATION SO WHEN TALKING
TO. THAT DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH. THE THEY DO NOT HAVE A
ON THE BILL BECAUSE HEALTHCARE
PROGRAMS IN CALIFORNIA THAT
GRADUATE RIGHT TAX- THEY WOULD
STILL RECOGNIZE AND BE ABLE TO
GET THEIR LICENSE. THE WHOLE
WITHIN OUR INTENTION IS THAT WE
WOULD REMOVE BARRIERS EARNING
MONEY PROGRAMS AND- IN.
ORGANIZATIONS UPDATE THEIR
STANDARDS RECOGNIZED THIS NEW
MODEL. OKAY ALL RIGHT. NOW I'VE
MET THAT WHEN I WAS TALKING TO
THE STAFF THE NOW AT LEAST WE
WERE DISCUSSING IT. AT THE
LEAST THE LANGUAGE DIDN'T
APPEAR THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY
WHAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAPPEN WITH
THE BILL THAT WAS PASSED- BUT
IT IS HELPFUL FOR ME TO HEAR
FROM YOU WHAT YOUR INTENTIONS
ARE. IN RELATION TO DEVELOP I
THINK YOU HEAR THERE ARE SOME
CONCERNS OF THE COMMITTEE ABOUT
WHAT WOULD RESULT I CERTAINLY
SUPPORT THE GOAL. OF TRYING TO
NOT DISCOURAGE EARN AND LEARN-
BUT- AND- BUT I THINK THERE ARE
THERE ARE GONNA BE SOMETHING
THAT THE CONCERNS ARE BEING
RAISED THAT- THERE'S ISSUES
RELATED TO- YEAH. ACTUALLY THE
PIPELINES AND STANDARDS FOR US.
FOR VARIOUS HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS I DO KNOW THAT
SIR LEYVA HAS HER MICROPHONE UP
SO- I WILL. MOVE IT TO HER BUT
I DO HAVE SOME OTHER ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS AS WELL SO THEIR
LABOR. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I
JUST WON THE ECHO LL THE
COMMENTS MADE FROM YOURSELF AND
ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. I'LL BE HAPPY TO
MOVE THE BILL TODAY BUT I TOO
WILL BE HOPING SOMEBODY TO
ISSUES CAN BE ADDRESSED. AND IF
IT GETS TO THE FLOOR THEY WILL
BE ADDRESSED AND I CAN STILL
SUPPORT THE BILL OKAY THANK YOU
SENATOR LEYVA- THE AND- THE
OTHER QUESTION I DO HAVE- IN A
BIG DOSE OF THE COMMITTEE SAYS
OUR LAST BILL TO- FOR. SO I USE
THIS ACTUALLY SAT ON THE BOARD
AND ACCREDITATION BODY SO I SAT
ON IT HEALTH CARE ACCREDITATION
NO HEALTH EDUCATOR- PREDATION
BODY. AND ONE OF THE THINGS FOR
AN ACCREDITATION BODY FOR THE
GOVERNMENT RECOGNIZES THAT WE
DON'T. GAUGE IN ANTI
COMPETITIVE BEHAVIOR- THAT THE
STAN. ARE PURELY- EDUCATIONAL
STANDARDS. SO I GUESS THE
QUESTION I POSE TO J. CERT- SO
WE HAVE THE CLG SORT OF
TESTIFIED. YOU KNOW I HEARD
THAT YOU SAID THE RATIONALE FOR
BIDDING- STUDENTS BRAVING RAGES
IN CLINICAL HOURS TWO INCH TO
WAS TO QUOTE INSURE THEY'RE NOT
USED TO REPLACE QUALIFIED
STAFF. WHICH SOUNDS ANTI
COMPETITIVE CAN YOU JUSTIFY WHY
THAT REQUIREMENTS IN EXISTENCE
I REALIZE THAT THAT'S A BIT
SEPARATE FROM THE BILL. BUT I
AM CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. WHAT
WAS THE QUESTION THE QUESTION
IS WHY THAT REQUIREMENT IS AN
EDUCATIONAL STANDARD AND IT'S
NOT ANTI COMPETITIVE. THE
STANDARD DATA YOU ARE PROVIDING
IDEAS FROM EARNING WAGES FOR
CLINICAL HOURS AND ASSIGNMENTS
THAT PROHIBITION DOES NOT HOW
DOES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO THE
QUALITY PROGRAMS ARE ENSURING
THAT- THE STUDENTS ARE MEETING
STANDARD EXACT. REPEAT
PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS NOT.
HELLO HELLO YES SO I GUESS
THAT'S- MISS- LET'S SEE WINTER
PLEASE. HI SO THE STUDENTS ARE
STUDENTS AND THEY'RE NOT
CLINICALLY COMPETENT. ON MANY
CORCORAN SUPERVISED YOU SURE
THEY'RE NOT TAKING A DIG. HIGHS
IN POSITIONS THAT COULD
COMPROMISE THEN YOU. OKAY THEY
CAN BE STUDENTS AND RECEIVE HEY
BUT- I DON'T SEE HOW THAT HAS
TO DO WITH NO THEY CANNOT I'M
SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO
INTERRUPT. WELL THEY THEY ONLY
BECAUSE OF THE STANDARD YOU PUT
IN PLACE NOT BECAUSE- THE
ANOTHER IT'S A SUPERVISION
STANDARD IS ABOUT EDUCATIONAL
QUALITY. I'M NOT SURE WHAT
THEY'RE PAYING US TO DO WITH
THAT. EDUCATIONAL QUALITY
INSURERS THAT WE'RE DELIVERING
IONIZING RADIATION THANKS FOR
SHARING. QUALITY PATIENT CARE.
OKAY ALL RIGHT WELL I
APPRECIATE YOUR ANSWER- THERE
MIGHT BE SOME OTHER PEOPLE WANT
TO ASK FOR THE QUESTION THAT-
OKAY- ALL RIGHT WELL WITH THAT-
I THINK THAT- SEMI RODRIGUEZ I
THINK YOU HEAR THERE ARE SOME
OPEN QUESTIONS- THAT- NEED TO
BE WORKED ON- I THINK ARE YOU
KNOW- WE CAN TRY TO WORK ON
SOME OF THEM IS- IN THIS
COMMITTEE- BUT I THINK THAT
SOME OTHER ONES ARE ALSO OPEN.
SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN TRY TO
WORK THAT OUT- WITH THE
KNOWLEDGE IS THE OPPOSITION BUT
ALSO TO ENSURING THAT WE'RE NOT
CREATING A ALTERNATE PROBLEM I
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS YOU'RE
TRYING TO CREATE MORE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE
PARTICULARLY FROM DISADVANTAGED
BACKGROUNDS WHO- ALSO THAT WHO
WHO MAY ALSO NOT HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO GO
ESSENTIALLY WITHOUT PAY- OR
HAVE TO COMPLETE MORE LOANS- IF
ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE PEOPLE
WILLING TO STEP UP AND PROVIDE
WHILE THERE IS WHILE THEY'RE
LEARNING- AND- PROVIDING- YELP
CLINICAL SERVICES UNDER
SUPERVISION UNDER AN
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM SO I THINK
THAT'S A WORTHY GOAL- BUT I
ALSO THINK THERE ARE SOME
CONCERTS SERMONS ABOUT THE WAY
THE BILLS FRAME TO CLARIFY THAT
WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ESSENTIALLY DENYING PEOPLE ALSO
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
BECAUSE OF CONFLICTS WITH
ACCREDITATION- AS. WELL SO WITH
THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
YOU THANK YOU WILL- YOUR VOICES
MESSAGES BEEN. I WORK OTHER
