CHAIRMAN MEMBERS. EIGHTY TWO
SIXTY THREE THE HEALTH
OVERSIGHT AND LEADERSHIP AND
DETENTION ACT TAKES STEPS TO
CLARIFY THAT ALL PRIVATE
DETENTION FACILITIES IN THE
STATE MUST ABIDE BY STATE AND
LOCAL PUBLIC ORDERS. AT PRESENT
CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO SEVEN
PRIVATELY OWNED CIVIL DETENTION
FACILITIES THAT HAVE A CAPACITY
TO HOLD SEVENTY TWO HUNDRED
INDIVIDUALS AT ANY GIVEN TIME.
THESE FACILITIES POISE A UNIQUE
AND CRITICAL CHALLENGE WITH
RESPECT TO PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SAFETY. DURING THE COPA
NINETEEN PANDEMIC AND OVER THE
LAST YEAR THEY HAVE BEEN THE
SITE OF MASSIVE OUTBREAKS.
OUTBREAKS IN THESE FACILITIES
CAN QUICKLY OVERWHELM LOCAL
HOSPITALS AND THREE MEDICAL
RESOURCES THREATENING COMMUNITY
HEALTH AND PUBLIC SAFETY. CIVIL
DETENTION FACILITIES THAT HOUSE
IMMIGRANTS HAVE REUIREMENTS IN
THE FEDERAL CONTRACTS WITH
RESPECT TO AND SAFETY. THIS
INCLUDES LANGUAGE REQUIRING
EACH FACILITYTO COMPLY WITH
CURRENT AND FUTURE PLANS
IMPLEMENTED BY FEDERAL STATE
AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES
ADDRESSING SPECIFIC PUBLIC
HEALTH ISSUES INCLUDING
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS. THIS WOULD
INCLUDE PLANS FOR TESTING OR
VACCINATIONS FOR COVERT
NINETEEN TO HELP MITIGATE THE
SPREAD INSIDE OF THESE
FACILITIES. BY CLARIFYING THAT
ALL PRIVATE DETENTION
FACILITIES IN THE STATE MUST
ABIDE BY STATE AND LOCAL HEALTH
ORDERS EIGHTY TWO SIXTY THREE
M. SHARES NECESSARY STATEWIDE
COORDINATION THAT WILL SECURE
OUR STATE DURING THE COPA
NINETEEN PANDEMIC AND BEYOND.
THE BILL IS SUPPORTED BY MANY
OF OUR STATE'S LOCAL COUNTY AND
CITY HEALTH OFFICERS AND
DEPARTMENTS. ADDITION GROUPS
IMMIGRATION RIGHT ORGANIZATIONS
AMONG MANY OTHERS AND AS A
BIPARTISAN AUTHORED BILL THANK
YOU MEMBERS AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AND I BOTH. THANK YOU A

MAKE ONE OTHER HOUSEKEEPING
ANNOUNCEMENT- EARLIER AG ARE
TWELVE ITEM NUMBER THIRTY TWO
BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER STONE WAS
LISTED AS A ON THE CONSENT
CALENDAR THAT IS NO LONGER ON
THE CONSENT CALENDAR AND WILL
BE. PRESENTED FOR A VOTE- ALL
RIGHT CONTINUE ON WITH ITEM
NUMBER ONE A. B. TWO SIX THREE-
I BELIEVE EUNICE CHOU IS A
WITNESS IN SUPPORT PRIMARY
WITNESS AND SUPPORT MODERATOR
IF THIS SHOW IS AVAILABLE IF
YOU WOULD OPEN THE LINE.
COLLINSON LINE OPEN. HELLO CAN
YOU HEAR ME YES WE CAN. GREAT
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MY NAME IS
EUNICE CHOU I'M A SENIOR STAFF
ATTORNEY AT THE ACLU'S NATIONAL
PRISON PROJECT WHERE I WORK ON
BEHALF OF IMMIGRANT DETAINEES
FACING UNCONSTITUTIONAL
CONDITIONS OF CONFINEMENT.
EIGHTY TWO SIXTY THREE IS A
CENTRAL LOOK LEGISLATION TO
PROTECT THE LIVES OF VULNERABLE
PEOPLE IN IMMIGRATION DETENTION
IN THE LAST YEAR TWENTY ONE
PEOPLE DIED IN IMMIGRATION
DETENTION FACILITIES THE
HIGHEST IT HAS BEEN IN FIFTEEN
YEARS. THOUSANDS MORE HAVE
CONTRACTED COVEN NINETEEN DUE
TO THE FAILURE OF THE TENSION
OPERATORS TO ENSURE SAFE
CONDITIONS AND THE TENSION.
CALIFORNIA CAN AND MUST DO MORE
WE HAVE SEEN REPEATED PATTERNS
OF NEGLIGENCE AND MISCONDUCT BY
PRIVATE DETENTION OPERATORS IN
CALIFORNIA. IMMIGRANT DETAINEES
MAY BE IN THE LEGAL CUSTODY OF
A FEDERAL AGENCY CALIFORNIA HAS
CLEAR AUTHORITY TO REGULATE THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF PEOPLE IN
DETENTION FACILITIES INCLUDING
THOSE WHO HAVE IMMIGRANTS.
STATE AND LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS HAVE THE POWER AND
THE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE
HEALTH AND SAFETY IMMIGRATION
DETENTION CENTERS INCLUDING
THOSE OWNED AND OPERATED BY
PRIVATE PRISON COMPANIES.
HOWEVER IT'S QUITE COMMON THAT
THESE AGENCIES DON'T ALWAYS
REALIZE THEIR AUTHORITY AND
EIGHTY TWO SIXTY THREE WILL NOT
ONLY BENEFIT PEOPLE IN
IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTERS
BUT ALSO THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN
THESE FACILITIES AND THE
SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. THIS
IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN
FACILITIES OWNED AND OPERATED
BY PRIVATE PRISON CORPORATIONS
OFTEN HAVE PERVERSE FINANCIAL
INCENTIVES TO PAY LOWER WAGES
AND CUT CORNERS ON HEALTHCARE
FOR DETAIN PEOPLE AND
COMPUTATIONAL SAFEGUARDS FOR
WORKERS. AMONG OTHER
PROTECTIONS EIGHTY TWO SIXTY
THREE WOULD MAKE CLEAR THAT CAL
OSHA REGULATIONS ARE MANDATORY
FOR THESE FACILITIES PROTECTING
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF-WORKERS CALIFORNIA HAS LED THE
NATION IN PASSING COMPREHENSIVE
AND CONSTITUTIONALLY SOUND
LEGISLATION. FOCUSED ON
ENSURING PUBLIC HEALTH
OVERSIGHT BY THE STATE IN THE
FACILITIES THIS BUILD BUILD
FROM THAT LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND
URGENTLY NEEDED DURING THIS
PANDEMIC COULD SAVE HUMAN LIVES
AND CLARIFY THE ROLE AND.
RESPONSIBILITY OF PUBLIC HEALTH
OVERSIGHT IN THE FACILITY.

THANK YOU MR VICE CHAIR MEMBERS
I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT A B.
ELEVEN TWENTY SIX WHICH WILL
ESTABLISH THE COMMISSION ON THE
STATUS EIGHT. WE'RE ALL AWARE
OF THE ALARMING INCREASE IN
HATE CRIMES AND TRAGICALLY.
ORDERLY RIGHT INTO THE CENTER
FOR THE STUDY OF HATE AND
EXTREMISM TWENTY TWENTY REPORT
TO THE NATION. A CRIME TOTALS
FOR TWENTY NINETEEN HIT THEIR
HIGHEST LEVEL IN OVER A DECADE
WITH SEVEN THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN INCIDENTS
REPORTED. FBI DATA REVEALS THAT
TWENTY NINETEEN WAS ALSO THE
DEADLIEST YEAR ON RECORD FOR
HATE CRIMES WITH FIFTY ONE
MURDERS. AND WHICH WAS A MORE
THAN 1100% INCREASE OVER TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. IN TWENTY TWENTY ANTI
ASIAN HATE CRIMES SURGED BY ONE
HUNDRED AND 49% AND HATE CRIMES
AGAINST GAY MEN JUMPED NEARLY
30% TO SEVENTY CRIMES. AND ANTI
TRANSGENDER HATE CRIMES ROSE
ABOUT 26% ALREADY IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE THE LOS ANGELES
POLICE DEPARTMENT AS REPORTED A
66% INCREASE IN HATE CRIMES
OVERALL AND A 26% INCREASE IN
HATE CRIMES BASED ON SEXUAL
ORIENTATION. BLACK PEOPLE
REMAIN THE NUMBER ONE TARGET
FOR HATE CRIMES IN AMERICA AT
TWICE HE LEVEL THAT THEY
REPRESENT IN THE POPULATION.
WELL WE HAVE SOME DATA ON THE
NUMBER AND TYPE OF HATE CRIMES
THAT ARE BEING PERPETRATED.
EXPERTS SAY THAT THE FBI DATA
LIKELY UNDERCOUNTS THE NUMBER
OF HATE CRIMES IN AMERICA BOTH
BECAUSE MANY VICTIMS DO NOT
REPORT INCIDENTS AND LOCAL
AGENCIES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO
REPORT HATE CRIME DATA TO THE
FBI. SO THE FBI RELIES ON THE
VOLUNTARY REPORTING OF MORE
THAN FIFTEEN THOUSAND
PARTICIPATING LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY BUT
IT'S CLEAR THAT MANY ARE NOT
DOING SO. LAST YEAR 86% OF
AGENCIES DID NOT REPORT A
SINGLE HATE CRIME INCLUDING AT
LEAST SEVENTY ONE CITIES WITH
POPULATIONS OVER ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND. THIS IS ACCORDING TO
THE ANTI DEFAMATION LEAGUE AND
THE C. COALITION. DO THE
STAGGERING STATISTICS AND
CHALLENGES OF MONITORING
COLLECTING AND ANALYZING THIS
DATA IT IS CLEAR THAT
CALIFORNIA COULD USE BETTER
TOOLS AND DEDICATED INDIVIDUALS
TO HELP US TRACK. AND REPORT
THIS INFORMATION FOR THE STATE.
THE COMMISSION ON THE STATE OF
HATE WILL MONITOR AND ASSESS
CURRENT TRENDS RELATIVE DAY
CRIMES PRODUCE ANNUAL REPORTS
ON THESE TRENDS AND MAKE POLICY
RECOMMEND STATIONS TO THE
LEGISLATURE GOVERNOR. AND
RELEVANT STATE AGENCIES AND
DEPARTMENTS IN ORDER TO HELP
THE SAFETY AWARE OF ADDRESS AND
HOPEFULLY REDUCE INSTANCES OF
THESE CRIMES. THE COMMISSION IS
NECESSARY IN ORDER TO FULLY
UNDERSTAND WHO IS PERPETRATING
THESE CRIMES AND WHO'S BEING
TARGETED. WHERE THEY'RE
OCCURRING AND HOW WE CAN
DEVELOP POLICY SOLUTIONS TO
ADDRESS AND REDUCE THE
INSTANCES OF THESE CRIMES I AM
PLEASED TO HAVE PROFESSOR BRIAN
LEVIN THE DIRECTOR OF THE
CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF HATE
AND EXTREMISM AT CSU SAMBAR TO
DINO. TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
A. B. ELEVEN TWENTY SIX. THANK
YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER AS WAS

70% INCREASE JUST YOU'RE- IN

GAVE UCLA SOME MONEY TO STOP A
API HEY SO HI THEY WILL BE
GIVING A REPORT COLLECTING
INFORMATION GIVING IT BACK TO
US- THIS IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
THIS COMMISSION IS TO STAND ON
ITS OWN. IS THAT THE AUTHOR'S
INTENT OR IS THERE SOME
COORDINATION IT SEEMS LIKE
THERE'S AT ITS CORE THERE'S
THIS. BAD MO JO THAT'S GOING
AROUND IS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
GET A HOLD ON AND THAT YOU KEEP
PEOPLE IN AND GET
RECOMMENDATIONS HOW DO YOU SEE
THAT. IF YOU SEE IT INTERACTING
WITH THOSE OTHER ACTIONS THAT
WE'VE TAKEN BOTH OF THE SORT OF
LIBERTY WHICH TAKE THE QUESTION
YES THANK YOU- AND THANK YOU
SENATOR WHITE HOUSE YOU FOR THE
QUESTION- THE- JURISDICTION OF
THE COMMISSION ON THE STATE
HATE WOULD BE- JURISDICTION IN
THE BROADEST SENSE- THE FUNDING-THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO AND
THE- PAN LEGISLATION WERE. VERY
SPECIFIC AND THERE'S NO REASON
WHY IN THE FUTURE- FUNDING LIKE
THAT OR BILLS LIKE THAT COULD
BE WRAPPED INTO THE
JURISDICTION OF THE OF THE
COMMISSION- FOR WORK IN
COORDINATION WITH THE
COMMISSION. OKAY ANYTHING ELSE
SENATOR. THANK YOU- I HAVE A
FEW QUESTIONS- WHAT IS THE
FEDERAL. DEFINITION OF HATE CAN
YOU DESCRIBE THAT I'M SORRY I
DON'T HAVE THAT TO EVERYBODY
WITH HIS PROFESSOR LEVIN'S
STILL ON THE LINE ELEVEN EXCUSE
ME. YES I AM SIR PROFESSOR G.
DONE IS THERE A FEDERAL
DEFINITION FOR HATE OR HATE
CRIME. ABSOLUTELY A CRIMINAL
ACT W. CLARK MOTIVATED TO GO
THE WHOLE. FOR ME TO SELECTION
ALL OF OUR TARGET. ON BEING
COVERED IN THE STATUTES SUCH AS
RACE RELIGION SEXUAL
GENDER IDENTITY IN ADDITION OUR
MANDATE WOULD COVER. WHO ARE
ACTING. WITH VIOLENCE TO
PROMOTE THESE PARTICULAR GOAL
SO FOR INSTANCE IF THERE WOULD
BE A GROUP THAT WOULD TARGET
WHITE REPUBLICANS EVEN COME
UNDER THE AMBIT AS WELL GOT IT
AND IS THERE A STATE WHERE.
UNDER LAW. AND I'M SORRY REPEAT
THAT PLEASE WHAT. IS THERE A
STATE EQUIVALENT IN CALIFORNIA.
NO BUT THERE ARE IN OTHER
STATES. IS IT YOUR EXPECTATION
THAT YOU WOULD YOU BE USING
FEDERAL DEFINITION FOR WHAT
WOULD GO INTO THE HEAT
JURISDICTION OF SUCH A-
COMMITTEE COMMITTEE OR
COMMISSION. TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE
GENERALLY YEAH. I'M SORRY
PROFESSOR AND I'M MOVING ON TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER- BLOOM EXCUSE
ME. GO AHEAD SIR I'M TEMPTED TO
SAY IN GENERAL YES BUT I THINK
WE WOULD USE THE FEDERAL-
DEFINITION OF GUIDANCE. OKAY- I
THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WOULD BE REALLY HELPFUL HERE IS
THAT IF WE DID HAVE IT I DON'T
KNOW IF IT EXISTS IF WE HAD
THAT. INSTRUCTIONAL DEFINITION-
AND- WE HAVE SEEN
EXTRAORDINARY- AMOUNT OF
VIOLENCE PERPETRATED AAINST.
THE BLACK COMMUNITY THE ASIAN
COMMUNITY I MEAN THIS IS BEEN A
VERY VERY DIFFICULT. AMERICAN
AMERICAN HISTORY. WHAT I. ARE
THERE ANY SAFEGUARDS IN THIS
THAT TIE INTO POLITICAL SPEECH
MEANING THAT IF THERE IS A
MESSAGE THAT IS PUT FORWARD BY
AN ORGANIZATION OR A GROUP OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT IS POLITICAL
IN NATURE. WOULD THAT BE A
TARGET FOR REVIEW BY MEMBERS OF
THIS COMMITTEE. BECAUSE OF ITS
CONNECTION TO VIOLENCE.
POLITICAL SPEECH IN AND OF
ITSELF- IS CERTAINLY NOT THE
TOPIC- OR JURISDICTION OF THE
PROPOSED COMMISSION. NO DOUBT
I'M I'M I'M I'M A LITTLE. COOL
CONCERNED IF WE START GETTING
INTO A NONDESCRIPT HATE
JURISDICTION- BECAUSE WE DON'T
HAVE APPARENTLY ONE FOR
CALIFORNIA THAT WE COULD BE
VEERING INTO- AREAS THAT ARE
OUTSIDE THE TRADITIONAL
INTUITIVE UNDERSTANDING OF A
HATE CRIME. SO ARE THERE ANY
SAFEGUARDS FOR THE JURISDICTION
THE CREATION OF THE
JURISDICTION FOR THIS TYPE OF
COMMITTEE. I THINK A PROFESSOR
LEVIN MAY BE. THE BEST PERSON
TO ADDRESS THAT QUESTION TOO.
YES YOU WILL BE MY PLEASURE AND
I ECHO YOUR CONCERNS THAT'S WHY
IT MUST BE A VIOLENT PREDICATE
STORY NEWS. WE STARTED HOW DID
WE NATURALLY INCREASING THREATS
AGAINST ELECTED OFFICIALS
PRESENT I THINK THAT WOULD COME
UNDER THE AMBIT BUT THERE MUST
BE A CRIMINAL PREDICATE WITH
DISH AND THE SUPREME COURT HAS
BEEN VERY CLEAR IN WHAT. WHAT
WHAT THE JURISDICTION GENERALLY
IS ABOUT THE PERMISSIBLE STATUS
WITH REGARD TO PUBLISHING THESE
KIND OF THINGS SO FAR. IN THE
ABSENCE OF DESPAIR WITH ME. ONE
SECOND. ONE THE WORDS AS OF IT
I YOU FOR THROUGH THE WEEKEND
TWENTY THREE BOTH FIRED SPEAK
SENATORS NOW ABOUT. NO I JUST
WANT. OUR COMMUNITY TO AT THE
CONDITION OF THE ABLE TO LOOK
AT UP WOULD YOU. THE GROUPS
THAT ARE BY THE OTHER. FORTY
SOME OF. ARE THE PRODUCT THANK
YOU- AND I MY LAST IS. I'M A
LITTLE. THAT THE FEDERAL-
ASSEMBLY OF INFORMATION- YOU
KNOW ON HATE GROUPS AND HATE
CRIMES IS NOT GIVING US WHAT WE
NEED. THAT WE NEED TO CREATE A
STATE. ENTITY FOR THIS. SITE AS
SOMEONE IN THIS WILL BE MY
LAST. DO YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS
AS TO. WHY WE'RE DEEMING THOSE
FEDERAL ACCUMULATIONS TO BE
DEFICIENT FOR OUR PURPOSES THAT
THE DEFICIENCY IS AS DUE TO THE
LACK OF REPORTING- ON THE PART
OF MANY JURISDICTIONS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. AND TO- SO AS LONG
AS THE F. B. I.'S NOT
REUIRING- REPORTING. AND
RETRIEVING THAT INFORMATION.
THERE'S THE P. I THINK- THE-
STATISTIC WAS ABOUT 85% OF THE
JURISDICTIONS SO WE'RE NOT
REPORTING AND- AS IF THAT'S THE
CASE WERE CLEARLY GETTING
INCOMPLETE INFORMATION AND
THAT'S WHY. WE NEED TO. MAKE
SOME EFFORT SOME SUBSTANTIAL
EFFORT HERE IN CALIFORNIA TO
RETRIEVE THE INFORMATION FROM
OUR OWN JURISDICTIONS. OKAY SO
IT'S BECAUSE THE FEDERAL
AUTHORITIES ARE NOT MANDATING-
THE PRODUCTION OF THOSE. HATE
CRIMES THAT THEIR DATABASE IN
THEIR ANALYTICS ARE DEFICIENT
IS THAT ACCURATE THAT IS
CORRECT OKAY. ALL RIGHT- WE
HAVE OUR LEADERS BACK- WHAT DO
YOU WISH TO TAKE OVER RIGHT NOW
OR HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS- I
HAVE NO COMMENTS THANK YOU
CENTER BOARD JUST FOR YOUR
VALIANT EFFORTS AS CHAIR
APPRECIATED THANK YOU ALTHOUGH
I KNOW THAT THEY'RE STILL ITEMS

EPISODIC PLOT FAILURES HAVE
CAUSED HUMAN INJURY AND SEVERAL
DEATHS IN RECENT YEARS. ON JULY
TWO TWENTY SEVENTEEN A WOMAN
DIED AFTER SHE FELL HUNDRED
FIFTY FEET FROM THE SEASIDE
BLUFF IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY WHEN
THE GROUND BENEATH HER CRUMBLED
THE CLIFF HAVE BEEN BATTERED BY
WINTER STORMS AND COLLAPSED. ON
FEBRUARY TWENTY NINETEEN THE
SAME WITH THIS GIRL WOMAN AND
HER DOG WERE RESCUED ANOTHER
WOMAN REMAIN TRAPPED AFTER THE
EDGE OF A CLIFF AT FORT FUSION
FUNSTON SORRY COLLAPSE ON TOP
OF THEM WEARING ONE VICTIM
UNDER TONS OF DIRT THE TRUMP
WOMAN'S BODY WAS NEVER
RECOVERED. ON AUGUST TWENTY
NINETEEN IN MY DISTRICT THREE
PEOPLE WERE FATALLY CRUSHED
WHEN A BLUFF CLASS AND
INSIDIOUS BEACH IN MY HOMETOWN.
THE VICTIMS ARE PART OF A LARGE
FAMILY GATHERING THAT DAY AND
HOW THE CLUB OF CLUBS A FEW
MINUTES EARLIER THE. DEATH TOLL
WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER INCLUDED
CHILDREN. IN ADDITION PUBLIC
THINK CONCERN ARE RUNNING.
THREATENED CLIFFTOP DEVELOPMENT
THE STATE. INCLUDING HIGHWAYS.
RAILWAYS WASTEWATER OIL.
NATURAL GAS AND NUCLEAR
FACILITIES. UNIVERSITIES
SEVERAL CRITICAL MILITARY BASES
AND NUMEROUS STATE BEACHES AND
PARKS. WHAT IS MISSING RIGHT
NOW AS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE
SCIENCE. AROUND BLAH FIGURES.
UNDERSTAND THE PROCESSES THAT
DRIVER FEEL YEARS. PRE MAPPING
IS A MAGNITUDE OF EROSION. AND
THE TIMING OF CLOUGH IS
ESSENTIAL FOR COASTAL
MANAGEMENT. AND BUILDING
RESILIENT AND SAFE COMMUNITIES.
AT SIXTY SIX IS THE FIRST STEP
IN CREATING AN EARLY WARNING
NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR BLOOD
FIGURES. MUCH LIKE WE HAVE FOR
EARTHQUAKES. THE RESEARCH WILL
FOCUS ON THE DELMAR BLOCKS AS
WELL AS BEACONS BEACH. AN
ACTIVE. LANDSLIDE AREA IN
INSIDIOUS. THIS RESEARCH WILL
PROVIDE THE SCIENCE TO DEVELOP
IN PHASE TWO THE EARLY WARNING
NOTIFICATION SYSTEM IT IS MY
HOPE THAT EVENTUALLY WILL HAVE
WARNINGS FOR THE FAILURES ON
OUR WEATHER APPS MUCH LIKE WE
DO. FOR HIGH WIND ADVISORIES OF
FLOODING OR HIGH SURF
ADVISORIES. THIS INFORMATION IS
CRITICAL TO KEEP OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFER IN THE FACE
OF SEA LEVEL RISE. THE BILL
BEFORE YOU IS BIG HERE BECAUSE
OF THE NARROW IMMUNITY FROM
LIABILITY FOR THIS SPECIFIC
TYPE OF RAL WORLD RESEARCH.
WHICH IS LIMITED TO THE
MEASUREMENTS PREDICTIONS AND
WARNINGS OF THE SCIENTIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADDRESS
PROFITEERS I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL TODAY OR
DAMPER CHIEF CAMPUS COUNSEL AT
UCSD. AND DEPUTY MAYOR RIGHT

ALL RIGHTY- MISTER PARK OR
DEPUTY MAYOR WHARTON. IF EITHER
YOU ARE ON THE PHONE PLEASE
PLEASE MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN. ON

AS WELL ALL RIGHT LET'S START
WITH YOU MUST PARK. GO AHEAD. I
THINK YOU'RE ON BOARD. AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
DAN PARK AND I AM THE CHIEF
CAMPUS COUNSEL FOR UC SAN
DIEGO. AND I'D LIKE TO THANK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BURNED A HOLE
ABOUT BRINGING FORWARD THIS
THIS VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION. A. B. FIFTY SIX
TIMES CRITICAL RESEARCH INTO
THE CAUSES AND WARNING SIGNS OF
LANDSLIDES- THIS KNOWLEDGE WILL
HELP. BUILD A WARNING SYSTEM
ONE DAY. THAT WILL. PROTECT THE
LIVES AND PROPERTY OF THE
CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA. THE
REASON WE'RE HERE TODAY IS
BECAUSE- AB SIXTY SIX CONTAINS
THE TARGETED LIMITED.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
PROVISION. LIMITATION OF
LIABILITY MAYBE SIXTY SIX
INSURERS THE QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE SCIENCE OF LANDSLIDES WILL
BE DEBATED AND RESOLVED IN THE
PUBLIC FORUM AND NOT IN
COURTROOMS. AB SIXTY SIX IS
DESIGNED TO OPERATE MUCH LIKE
THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR
GOOD SAMARITANS. THAT IS
CURRENTLY OPERATIONAL. LAW
IMITATION OF. INCURRED PUBLIC
CITIZENS TO RENDER AID TO WHO
ARE IN DISTRESS. BY SHIELDING
THESE GOOD SAMARITANS FROM
LAWSUITS IF THE AID THEY RENDER
IS LESS THAN PERFECT. THE
PUBLIC POLICY BEHIND THIS LAW
IS THAT THE RISK OF THEM
PERFECT EIGHT IS BETTER THAN NO
AID AT ALL. SIMILARLY AB SIXTY
SIX ENCOURAGES THE SCIENTISTS
WITH THE BEST CHANCEOF
FIGURING OUT HOW WHY WHEN AND
WHERE LANDSLIDES ARE LIKELY TO
OCCUR. TO DEVELOP THIS
KNOWLEDGE AND SHARE IT WITH THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA. IT IS OUR
BELIEF THAT BY ENCOURAGING AND
SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
LANDSLIDES AND BLOCKED
COLLAPSES. EIGHTY SIXTY SIX
SERVE THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA
BY SAVING LIVES AND PROTECTING
PROPERTY THANK YOU. THANK YOU A
W. MEHR WARTEN. I THANK YOU MY
NAME IS DWIGHT WORDEN I'M THE
DEPUTY MAYOR OF THE CITY OF
DELMAR JUST HERE IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY LOOKS LIKE GUESTS HAVE
OCCURRED IN DELMAR TO THE SOUTH
TOWARDS PINES AND YOUR NORTH
INTERMEDIATE ROADING UNSTABLE
OCEAN BLUFFS COLLAPSE ON
UNSUSPECTING BEACHGOERS ON THE
BEACH. THIS PUBLIC SAFETY RISK
WILL GET WORSE THE FEATURES
NARROW DUE TO SAM LAW THE
MOBILE RISE AND CLIMATE CHANGE
AND THERE'S MORE AND MORE
PEOPLE ATTEND THE NARROWING
BEACH AND COMPETE FOR SPACE
NEARER TO THE ERODING BLUFFS
THIS RISK EXISTS ALONG THE
ENTIRE CALIFORNIA BECAUSE AFTER
THE ACTION MORE DEATHS ARE
INEVITABLE. DEVELOPING A
WARNING SYSTEM IS THE ANSWER
PUBLISHED STUDIES SHOW TWENTY
NINE WARNING SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE
ARE IN PLACE BUT NONE YET IN
CALIFORNIA. WARNING IS CHEAPER
AND LESS ENVIRONMENTALLY
INTRUSIVE C. WALLS ARMORING AND
STRUCTURES TO TRY AND FIGHT
NATURE TO KEEP WHAT STABLES
SCRIPTS INSTITUTE IS PERFECTLY
POSITIONED TO DO THE DATA
COLLECTION AND PILOT STUDIES
BEACONS AND DELMAR CALLED FOR
BY AT SIXTY SIX TRIPS ALREADY
HAS EXTENSIVE DATA FROM YEARS
OF BEACH INVOLVED MONITORING IN
THE AREA STRIPS HAS TOP WORLD
SCIENTISTS SCRIPTS KNOWS THE
BEACONS AND DELMAR AREAS.
INCLUDING THE REAL REAL RISKS
ALONG THE BLOCK SCRIPTS CAN USE
THE EXISTING STUDIES FROM
AROUND THE WORLD AND WILL NOT
BE STARTING AT GROUND ZERO. THE
CITY OF DEL MAR HAS A LONG
HISTORY OF WORKING WITH SCRIPTS
AND WELCOMES EIGHTY SIXTY SIX
WE'RE A TOWN OF FORTY TWO
HUNDRED PEOPLE WELCOMING TWO
MILLION PLUS PEOPLE PER YEAR TO
THE BEACH WE WANT THEM TO BE
SAFE AND WE CAN'T FOR MANY
REASONS FINANCES BAYERN MENTAL
AND PERMITTING ARMOR THE BLOCKS
TO PREVENT OSS FALLS. AB SIXTY
SIX PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
PEACE G. PILOT STUDIES TO
DEVELOP WARNING SYSTEMS TO SAVE
LIVES WITHOUT DAMAGING BEACHES
AND BLUFFS WARNING SYSTEMS ARE
NON INTRUSIVE AND RELATIVELY
INEXPENSIVE COMPARED TO THE
OPTIONS THAT'S A GOOD. THING
AND WORSE DURING DOING I URGE
YOUR SUPPORT MAY BE THREE.

THIS TIME THERE'S NO ONE IN Q.
ALL RIGHT LET'S BRING BACK TO
THE FLOOR OF QUESTIONS COMMENTS
I SEE SORT OF BORED JUST YES.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK HERE. I
WANT TO COMMEND THE AUTHOR FOR-
PURSUING THIS I'VE SPENT A GOOD
AMOUNT OF TIME. IN THIS AREA
AND I UNDERSTAND IF ANYBODY HAS
GONE OVER OFF- TORREY PINES FOR
EXAMPLE- THE EROSION THAT IS
HAPPENING THERE IS. NOT ONLY IS
IT ENVIRONMENTALLY SCARING BUT
FROM A PHYSICAL STANDPOINT YOU
CAN'T EVEN WALK ALONG THE BLUFF
UNDERNEATH IT BECAUSE THERE
HAVE BEEN FATALITIES OVER TIME
HI THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HUGE I'M
I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO BE
SUPPORTING IT. BUT MY QUESTION
TO YOU IS THERE'S NOT
APPROPRIATION ATTACHED TO THIS
BUT NUMBER ONE WHY ARE WE-
ORIENTING THIS TOWARDS SCRIPTS
AND SCRIPT STEPS AGAIN TESTED
BUT WHY THEM AS OPPOSED TO
REACHING OUT TO. THE COASTAL
COMMISSION AND OTHER- OCEANIC
RELATED ORGANIZATIONS- AND- IN
IN NATURAL. PROTECTION
ORGANIZATIONS THAT COULD DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND THREE
WOULD THIS BE ESSENTIALLY A
SOLE SOURCE. TYPE OF
APPROPRIATION AT SOME LATER
POINT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN- CAN
YOU COMMENT ON THOSE TWO ITEMS
YES- THOUGH TWO POINT FIVE
MILLION IN THE BILL HAS ALREADY
BEEN SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR SO
THE MONEY'S THERE HAS BEEN
SIGNED SO FIRST QUESTION. THINK
TAKES CARE OF THE THIRD
QUESTION TO THE SECOND QUESTION
IS WHY SCRIPTS SO THIS IS A
VERY PARTICULAR TYPE OF SCIENCE
OF UNDERSTANDING WHY PLUS FEEL.
SCRIPTURES ALREADY STARTED WITH
LIGHTER STUDIES IN THIS AREA
AND THE SCIENCE THAT WE DEVELOP
BEHIND LOVE FAILURES FOR THIS
AREA. IS APPLICABLE STATE WIDE
SO IT EVEN THOUGH IT'S YOU KNOW
DOING IT FROM TORREY PINES
OCEANSIDE IT IS- BE APPLICABLES
STATEWIDE AND BECAUSE THEY ARE
DONE THE SCIENTIFIC WORKS OF
THE COASTAL COMMISSION. DOESN'T
DO SCIENTIFIC STUDIES OF- YOU
KNOW Q. PHYSICS AND ON THAT
TYPE OF STUFF THAT'S WHAT
SCRIPTS AND SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE
USING SCRIPTS THEY'VE ALREADY
DONE IT THEY HAVE THE KNOW HOW.
AND THEY HAVE THE SCIENTISTS
WHO CAN ACTUALLY DEVELOP THE
SCIENCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN I
WENT TO SCRIPT AND SAID I WANT
TO EARLY MORNING WARNING
NOTIFICATION SYSTEM FOR BLOOD
FIGURES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THEY SAID HOLD ON
FOR A HORA FIRST WE HAVE TO GO
BACK AND WE NEED TO KNOW WE
KNOW BLESS FEEL AND WE KNOW
AFTER THE FACT ONE OF THE FIELD
WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO PREDICT
IT. SO THAT'S THE FOR THE
EIGHTY SIXTY SIX OF THE FIRST
PHASE OF A THREE PHASE PLAN
THAT I HAVE AND HOPEFULLY
YOU'LL JOIN ME IN THAT JOURNEY-
TO CREATE THE SCIENCE AROUND
THE PHILLIES INCLUDED EARLY
WARNING NOTIFICATION SYSTEM ALL
RIGHT SO WE DON'T HAVE JUST TO
BE CLEAR WE DON'T HAVE ANY SOLE
SOURCE. RELATED ISSUES BECAUSE
THEY ARE THE END OF THE MOST
KNOWLEDGEABLE AND CAPABLE OF
CONDUCTING THE STUDY. AND THAT
THE YOU IDENTIFY THAT THERE
DOLLARS ARE ALREADY IN THE
QUEUE- I THINK THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC AND-
BECAUSE I DO SUPPORT. IT MAKE
THE MOTION AT THE PROPER TIME.
THANK YOU- BOARD JUST MORE THE
BILL. SAYING NO OTHER MICRO.
RAISED- SO REMEMBER. BURNER OR

ZERO BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER REAL.
CLOSURES THANK YOU MR CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I AM PROUD TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL FOUR EIGHTY A
MEASURE THAT WILL STRAIN LOCAL
AUTHORITIES TO TAKE IMMEDIATE
ACTION AGAINST LOCAL THREATS.
TO THE PUBLIC'S HEALTH AND
SAFETY INCLUDING THE ABILITY
FOR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO
DIRECT A FACILITY OR A PORTION
OF THE FACILITY TO TEMPORARILY
DISCONTINUE THE OPERATIONS
THAT. COST AND EXPOSURE. IN
CALIFORNIA MULTIPLE REGULATORY
AUTHORITIES HAVE JURISDICTIONS
OVER THE BUSINESSES THAT HANDLE
OR GENERATE HAZARDOUS WASTE
MATERIALS AND THAT POSE A RISK
TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND
SAFETY. LOCALLY A CERTIFIED
UNIFIED PROGRAM AGENCY ALSO
KNOWN AS KOUBA IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR IMPLEMENTING AND ENFORCING
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND WASTE
LAWS AND THE LOCAL HEALTH
OFFICER HAS GENERAL THIRTY TO
PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S HEALTH
EXPANDED THIRTY. ONLY AFTER A
COUNTY WIDE EMERGENCY IS
DECLARED CURRENTLY. SOME
FACILITIES THAT EMIT HAZARDOUS
SUBSTANCES CONTINUE TO OPERATE
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT EET
REGULATORY MINIMUM STANDARDS TO
CEASE OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY. A
PRIME EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE OF
ATROCITY IMPACTING OUR
COMMUNITIES BEING THE EXIDE
BATTERY RECYCLING FACILITY IN
VERNON CALIFORNIA WHICH-
CONTINUOUSLY EXPOSED FAMILIES
AND RESIDENTS OF MY ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT. AND OUR URROUNDING
COMMUNITIES TO DANGEROUS LEVELS
OF TOXIC LET. THE DELAY TO SHUT
THIS FACILITY DOWN LED TO
EMISSIONS FROM THE PLANT
CONTAMINATING MORE THAN TEN
THOUSAND. OF OUR RESIDENTIAL
PROPERTIES ACROSS A NUMBER OF
pCOMMUNITIES INCLUDING BOYLE
HEIGHTS IN EAST LOS ANGELES AND
I WOULD JUST SAY. NOT ONLY-
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES PARCELS
INCLUDING SCHOOLS AND PARKS.
EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY WILL ENABLE
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO DIRECT
THE FACILITY OR A PORTION OF
THE FACILITY TO TEMPORARILY
DISCONTINUE THE OPERATIONS.
THAT HAVE EXPOSED OUR
COMMUNITIES TO HARMFUL TOXIC
MATERIALS UNTIL THE ISSUE WAS
CORRECTED. FOR THE PAST TWO.
YEARS I HAVE WORKED TO BRING
GREATER AUTHORITY TO LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO TAKE THE
APPROPRIATE ACTION AGAINST THE
THREATS OF OUR PUBLIC HEALTH. I
WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT I TOOK
THE AMENDMENTS TO ADDRESS
OPPOSITION WHO HAVE NOW GONE
NEUTRAL. THE AMENDMENTS REQUIRE
COUPONS TO FOLLOW DEPARTMENT
THE DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL
RELATIONS REGULATIONS WITH
RESPECTS TO REPORTABLE AMOUNTS.
INTO THE OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
SERVICES ADOPTS ITS REGULATIONS
ON THE SUBJECT. I HAVE ALSO
ADDED LEGISLATIVE INTENT WITH
RESPECT TO DESCRIBING WHAT
IMMINENT AND SUBSTANTIAL THREAT
IS GIVEN THAT THERE IS NO
STATUTORY DEFINITION FOR THE
TERM AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFFER
WORKING WITH MY OFFICE. ON THIS
VERY URGENT ISSUE AND LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK

LIKE THE COMMON OPPOSITION OF
EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY. PRESS ONE
AND ZERO AT THE TIME. AT A TIME
THERE'S NO WINNING QUEUE
ALREADY THANK YOU I SEE SAID A
WHITE HOUSE THESE MICROPHONES
RAISE ENOUGH COME DUE NEXT AN
EARLIER. THANK YOU MR CHAIR
SITTING HERE IN THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE I WOULD NOTE THAT.
THE STAFF REPORT PORT POINTS
OUT THAT VIRTUALLY ALL THE
NOTICE HEARING AND REVIEW
PROCEDURES. IN THIS BILL ARE
IDENTICAL TO EXISTING
HAZARDOUS. MATERIALS LAWS IN
THIS LAW ADDRESSES SPILLS AND
RELEASES IN THE- THE BILL ALSO
PROVIDES FOR THE REVIEW OF
ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS. ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT
BY FILING FILING A WRIT OF
MANDATE SO. I WOULD MOVE TO
BILL AND APPLAUD THE AUTHOR AND
THE STAFF FOR PUTTING TOGETHER
SUCH A- WELL CRAFTED MEASURE.
ALREADY APPROVED AND APPLAUDED
CENTER LAYERED. I WOULD SAY THE
SOONER OUR CASKET JUST ACTUALLY
MADE THE APPROPRIATE POINTS
WHICH IS SPEAKING TO THE
COMMITTEE'S JURISDICTION. AND
WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN THE BILL
ON THE POLICY WHICH MIGHT NOT
BE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF IT.
THIS IS A LOGICAL NEXT STEP.
BECAUSE THE COOPERS FLY UNDER
THE RADAR MOST PEOPLE WOULDN'T
KNOW WHAT THEY WERE IF YOU IF
THEY HEARD OF THOUGHT MAN YET.
THEY'RE VERY SIGNIFICANT IN
UNDERGROUND HAZARDOUS
SITUATIONS OVER GROUND AND THEY
PROVIDE A REGIONAL OR BROADER
RESPONSE THAN JUST A SINGLE
AGENCY AND SO GIVING THEM THE
AUTHORITY. AN EMINENT THREATS
IS A GOOD PUBLIC POLICY MOVE
AND THERE'S A REASON THAT
THERE'S NO OPPOSITION. IN THE
ANALYSIS AND SO I LOOK FORWARD
TO SUPPORTING SENATOR WHITE
HOUSE SKIS MOTION. THANK YOU
SIX ALERT ALL RIGHT. SIR
RUSSELL THANK YOU- MISTER CHAIR
I JUST WANT TO ALSO THANK THE
AUTHOR- I KNOW BECAUSE WE SHARE
AN OVERLAP DISTRICTS THAT. THE
ISSUES- BASE IN THOSE
COMMUNITIES- WORK OF.
EXTRAORDINARY EXTRAORDINARY
DANGER AND CONCERN AND I'M GLAD
THIS SHE HAD PUT THIS BILL
TOGETHER THANK YOU THANK YOU
SENATOR ALSO SAYING NO OTHER
MICROPHONES RAISED- ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GRILL. THANKS THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN I WANT TO THINK
THAT THE SENATORS FOR THEIR
COMMENTS AND SUPPORT. GOOD
LEGISLATION TAKES TIME AND IT
TAKES BOTH OPPOSITION AND-
THOSE IN SUPPORT TO COME TO THE
TABLE TO ACTUALLY REALIZE. THE
INTENT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IN MY COMMUNITY B. EXIDE
BATTERY PLANT CONTAMINATION
THAT LED TO A USC STUDY. THAT
SHOWED THAT CHILDREN WHO HAVE
LOST THEIR BABY TEETH HAVE LEAD
IN THEIR BABY TEETH THERE'S NO
AMOUNT OF BLOOD THAT IS SAFE
FOR THE HUMAN BODY. AND WHEN
YOU BEGIN TO THINK ABOUT THE
ISSUES OF ECONOMIC JUSTICE AND
CLIMATE JUSTICE AND THE WAY IN
WHICH GOVERNMENT IS MEANT TO
PROTECT COMMUNITIES. THERE ARE
OFTEN PLACES WHERE WE GET TO
CHOOSE A DIFFERENT PATH AND
ALIGN THE LAW TO ENSURE THAT
THE MOST VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES. ARE PROTECTED AND
THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IT WILL ENSURE THAT THERE
IS NO OTHER EXCITE ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
TAXPAYER DOLLARS. THAT HAVE
GONE TOWARDS THE CLEAN UP.
TOWARDS HOLDING DTC RESPONSIBLE
FOR THEIR NEGLIGENCE AND THAT
ULTIMATELY AT THE END OF THE
DAY EXIDE FILE BANKRUPTCY WHICH
IS GONNA END UP BEING PAID FOR
BY ALL OF US IN THIS ROOM AND
BY THE FORTY MILLION PEOPLE
THAT CALL CALIFORNIA HOME.
BECAUSE OF THESE AWFUL-
REGULATIONS THAT WERE NOT TAKEN
CARE OF AND SO THIS IS A- A
RESPONSIBLE. AND PROACTIVE STEP
FORWARD IT IS A COMMON SENSE
PIECE OF LEGISLATION ON
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE THAT WILL
ENABLE OUR LOCAL AUTHORITIES TO
ACT IN THE INTERESTS OF. OUR
CONSTITUENTS AND BETTER PROTECT
OUR EIGHTIES HELP AND SEE.
WHILE COORDINATING WITH THE
PROPER AGENCY AND I RESPECT
REQUEST AND I BUILT THANK YOU.

THANK YOU NEXT WE HAVE A B. I
REMEMBER TEN A. B. ONE FOUR
EIGHT SEVEN BY SEVEN MEMBER
GABRIEL. WHO IS PRESENT.
REMEMBER GABRIEL WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I AM
PLEASED TODAY TO PRESENT AT
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN WHICH
WILL ESTABLISH A STATEWIDE
LEGAL DEFENSE AND EDUCATION
FUND KNOWN AS THE HOMELESSNESS
PREVENTION FUND TO PROTECT OUR
MOST VALUABLE RENTERS AND HELP
PREVENT HOMELESSNESS BEFORE
AGAINST. THIS BILL IS BASED ON
THREE KEY NOTIONS THE FIRST IS
THAT EVICTION DEFENSE IS KEY TO
MEANINGFULLY ADDRESSING OUR
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS WE'VE SPENT
A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY FOCUSED
ON HOW TO HELP FOLKS WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS AND
NOT ENOUGH TIME TO FOCUS ON HOW
WE CAN PREVENT HOMELESSNESS IN
FROM HAPPENING IN THE FIRST%
INSTANCE AND THE DATA MAKES
CLEAR TO US ON THIS THAT
HOMELESSNESS PREVENTION IS KEY.
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY ON
AVERAGE EVERY SINGLE DAY TWO
HUNDRED SEVEN PEOPLE ARE PUT
INTO HOUSING AND TWO HUNDRED
TWENTY SEVEN PEOPLE BECOME
NEWLY HOMELESS SO EVERY SINGLE
DAY THE PROBLEM IS GETTING
WORSE AND WE KNOW THAT
EVICTIONS ARE PLAYING A KEY
ROLE IN DRIVING HOMELESSNESS
AND SO IF WE WANT TO BE SERIOUS
ABOUT ADDRESSING HOMELESSNESS
CRISIS WE NEED TO ADDRESS.
INFECTIONS THE SECOND IS THAT
LEGAL SERVICES ARE AN EXTREMELY
COST EFFECTIVE BEYOND. THAT
AFFECT A BIT AND AN OVERALL
EFFECTIVE SOLUTION AND AS THE
ANALYSIS NOTES THE TENANT
PROTECTIONS THAT WE'VE ENACTED
RECENTLY ARE NOT SELF
EXECUTING. THAT THEY REQUIRE
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF
LEGAL PROCESS AND RIGHTS AND
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THIS BILL
PROVIDES. WE ALSO KNOW FROM
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION THAT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED AND
RESEARCH THAT WAS DONE INTO
THAT LEGISLATION. THAT RIGHT TO
COUNSEL PROGRAMS ARE EXTREMELY
EFFECTIVE IN PREVENTING
HOMELESSNESS AND THIS IS. THE
RESULT OF INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS
THAT WAS DONE AROUND THE
SHRIVER PROGRAM AND OTHER
PROGRAMS AND WE KNOW THAT. IN
MOST CASES FOLKS WHO ARE
REPRESENTED IN A FICTION
PROCEEDINGS ARE 30% MORE LIKELY
TO BE HOUSED. A YEAR LATER
BASED ON THE LONGITUDINAL
STUDIES THAT THEY'VE DONE
FOLLOWING FOLKS WHO ARE IN A
FICTION PROCEEDINGS HORTON WHO
WERE WHO WERE REPRESENTED. AND
WHO WERE UNDER REPRESENTED. WE
ALSO KNOW THAT THE YOUR THESE
PROGRAMS ARE PROVEN TO SAVE
TAXPAYER RESOURCES AND ANALYSIS
A BIT. OF FICTION DEFENSE
PROGRAM IN LOS ANGELES FOUND
THAT FOR EVERY ONE DOLLAR
INVESTED THERE'S ABOUT FOUR
DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS A
PUBLIC BENEFIT AND AVOIDED
COSTS AND SO THE PROGRAM THAT
WE- ARE PROPOSING TODAY- IS
CAREFULLY CRAFTED TO LEVERAGE
EXISTING PARTNERSHIPS. AND
AREAS OF EXPERTISE. AND THE
THIRD PREMISE ON WHICH THIS
BILL IS BASED IS THAT
MEANINGFUL ACCESS TO JUSTICE IS
FUNDAMENTAL TO OUR LEGAL
SYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT 90% OF
LANDLORDS ARE REPRESENTED-
COMPARED TO APPROXIMATELY 10%
OF TENANTS. AND THEN. AND THAT
THIS BILL IS GOING TO HELP
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD FOR
SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE
CALIFORNIANS. AND WE KNOW THAT
THE REPRESENTATION DOESN'T
CHANGE THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW IT
DOESN'T CHANGE LEGAL RIGHTS OR
DUTIES IT DOESN'T PUT A THUMB
ON THE SCALE. IN MERELY MEANS
THAT EVICTION PROCEEDINGS ARE
MUCH MORE LIKELY TO BE DECIDED.
BASED ON THE FACTS AND THE LAW
RATHER THAN SIMPLY ON THE
ABILITY TO AFFORD AN ATTORNEY
AND SO THIS IS GOING TO HELP
FOLKS. SECURE ACCESS TO JUSTICE
IN A MANNER THAT IS GOING TO
HELP SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES IT'S
GOING TO SAVE TAXPAYER
RESOURCES. AND IT'S GOING TO
HELP OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM LIVE UP
TO ITS IDEALS. AND THAT'S PART
OF THE REASON THIS BILL IS
SUPPORTED BY A BROAD COALITION
OF MORE THAN FIFTY. NONPROFIT
COMMUNITY AND FAITH BASED
ORGANIZATIONS. AND WITH ME TO
TESTIFY TODAY ON BEHALF OF ONE
OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO SASHA
HARMON FROM THE INNER CITY LAW

RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AND I VOTE

FIND AN ATTORNEY. CONVICTION
PROTECTIONS ARE MOSTLY WORKING
AS INTENDED TO KEEP THE HOUSE.
HOWEVER THE TENANTS ARE UNABLE
TO. TO SECURE UNLIMITED LEGAL
RESOURCES I'VE EXPERIENCED A
RANGE OF CHALLENGES TRYING TO
ASSERT THEIR RIGHTS IN COURT.

WITNESSES LISTED IN OPPOSITION-
DEBORAH CALLED CARLTON IN
JENNIFER'S SEX. THIS GIRL KNOW
YOU ON THE PHONE. YES I AM
THANK YOU SIR GOOD AFTERNOON MR
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS- DEBRA
CARLTON WITH THE CALIFORNIA
APARTMENT ASSOCIATION FIRST I
WANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT WE DO
NOT OBJECT TO THE FUNDING FOR
EDUCATION ABOUT THE EVICTION
PROCESS WHAT WE DO OBJECT TO
HOWEVER IS THE METHOD USED BY
ATTORNEYS TO RECEIVE THIS MONEY
WHEN IT COMES TO DOUBLE DELAYS
THE DECREASE IN THE COURT. WE
ALREADY HAVE FORTY MILLION
DOLLARS FOR LEGAL DEFENSE
PUTTING ADDITIONAL TEN MILLION
IN LOS ANGELES AND ANOTHERNINE
POINT EIGHT MILLION IN SAN
FRANCISCO YOU KNOW THIS BILL
INCLUDES FINDINGS ABOUT THE
SUCCESS RATE WHEN DOLLARS ARE
USED TO PROVIDE FOR LEGAL
DEFENSE. IRONICALLY HOWEVER
WHILE ATTORNEYS CAN HELP
TENANTS TO BLADE TO DELAY THEIR
OBJECTION IN NEARLY ALL CASES
THE TENANT IS EVENTUALLY
AFFECTED AND NOT BECAUSE THEY
CAN'T PAY THE RENT IN MANY
CASES BUT HOWEVER THE BOTTOM
LINE IS THAT OWNERS ARE NOT IN
THE BUSINESS TO EVICT TENANTS
IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE. AND IT'S
TOO TIME CONSUMING YOU KNOW YOU
CALL THIS A HOMELESS PREVENTION
FUND IF YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS
YOU SHOULD PROVIDE FUNDS TO
HELP TENANTS PAY THEIR RENT
WHEN THEY ARE TEMPORARILY
UNABLE TO DO SO WITH THESE
DOLLARS THEY WOULDN'T FACE AN
EVICTION THEY WOULDN'T HAVE
THEIR CREDIT CARD AND THEY
COULD STAY IN THEIR RENTAL
UNITS INDEFINITELY. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR LISTENING. I ASK
FOR YOUR NO VOTE. THANK YOU
MISS CARLTON. SPEC. AFTER
MISTER CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS JENNIFER STACK ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA

AMENDED POSITION ON A. B.
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN. WHICH
ESTABLISHED OF THE HOMELESS THE
HOMELESS PREVENTION FUND TO
PROVIDE FREE LEGAL SERVICES TO
TENANTS IN THE PACIFIC WITH
ALLSTATE THE FREE LEGAL
SERVICES SHALL NOT BE PROVIDED
TO HOUSEHOLDS WHOSE INCOMES
EXCEED. 80% OF THE AREA MEDIAN
INCOME. HOWEVER THE BUILDER
CONTAIN AMONG OTHER THINGS A
LOOPHOLE THAT ALLOWED ANY
TENANT REGARDLESS OF THEIR
INCOME ELIGIBILITY. ACCESS TO
FREE LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDED
UNDER THE BELT. CONSIDERABLY A
LITTLE ENCOURAGING HIGHER
INCOME TENANTS TO ACCESS AN
ABUSE FREE LEGAL SERVICES. AT
FOURTEEN EIGHTY SEVEN FAILS TO
REQUIRE EVEN THE STYLE
VERIFICATION UNDER THE PENALTY
OF PERJURY AS PROOF OF THE
TENANT INCOME ELIGIBILITY.
SIMPLY STATED THE BILL PROVIDES
AN EXPANSIVE FUNDING SOURCE OF
FREE LEGAL SERVICES THE
TENTATIVE INCOME MAY WELL
EXCEED THE 80% LIMITATION. IN
INCOME AND ENCOURAGES TENANTS
YOU CAN AFFORD LEGAL COUNSEL TO
INSTEAD ABUSE RESOURCES THAT
MUST BE RESERVED FOR STATE LOW
INCOME FAMILIES WHO CANNOT
AFFORD REPRESENTATION. I THINK
TO BE A RESOURCE IN THE
CREATION OF PROGRAMS THAT
SUPPORT THOSE IN NEED.
UNFORTUNATELY AS CURRENTLY
DRAFTED BECAUSE EIGHTY FOURTEEN
EIGHTY SEVEN CONTAINS THIS AND
OTHER LOOPHOLES THAT WILL MOST
CERTAINLY BE ABUSED. THEY ARE

GROUNDSKEEPERS. CAFETERIA
WORKERS AND MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
YOU THE STATE LEGISLATURE GAVE
US THE RIGHT TO STRIKE. AND
WHEN WE THE WORKERS INSIDE
EXERCISE THAT RIGHT. WE DO SELL
AFTER WAITING ALL OTHER OPTIONS.
BECAUSE WHEN WE GO ON STRIKE WE
SACRIFICE. WE ARE PAID WE MAKE
THAT SACRIFICE IN THE HOPE WE
CAN IMPROVE OUR LIVES AND THAT
OF OUR FAMILIES. HOWEVER THERE
IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR USING
MEDICINE FOR LIFE SAVING
TREATMENT AS A WEAPON AGAINST
EXERCISING THAT RIGHT. FOR US
WE EXPERIENCED A RECENT THREAT%
AT UC SANTA CRUZ WHEN THEY

CONSEQUENCES THE DAMAGE TO
THEIR FAMILIES INTO THE ENTIRE
POPULATION CAN DO THIS AFTER.
ALLOWING EMPLOYERS TO WEAPONIZE
ACCENT HEALTHCARE SIMPLY TO
GAIN AN ADVANTAGE IN THEIR
NEGOTIATIONS. NOT ONLY
INCREDIBLY UNFAIR BUT DANGEROUS
OUR ENTIRE SOCIETY. THE FACT
THAT THERE IS NO EXISTING
STATUTORY PROHIBITION AGAINST
PUT THEM FOR YOU AT AN UNFAIR
DISADVANTAGE AND EVEN THE
THREAT OF SUCH ACTION BY AN
EMPLOYER SERVES TO WEAPONIZE
HERE IN THE RETENTION OF
BENEFIT. UNFAIR SCARE TACTIC
SHOULD NEVER BE USED. TO
DISSUADE AN EMPLOYEE FROM THE
EXERCISE OF THEIR RIGHT UNDER
THE LAW. EMPLOYERS MUST BE
PROHIBITED FROM CONTINUING TO
BENEFIT FROM THE DEGREE JUST
BEHAVIOR. THE CALIFORNIA LABOR%
FEDERATION BELIEVE THAT D. B.

OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEES SAY.
THEY INDICATED THEY'VE NEVER
PROACTIVELY LOOK TO CUT OFF
DURING A STRIKE THE HEALTHCARE
BENEFITS OF FOLKS IN THAT THEY
INDICATE THAT MOST OF THE TIME
THE STRUCTURE A FEW DAYS AND
THAT IN THEIR CURRENT LAW IF

WOULD CONTINUE. TO SORT OF AN
INDICATION THAT IT MAY BE. MAY
NOT BE NECESSARY WHAT DO YOU DO
YOU HAVE A RESPONSE TO THOSE.

WOULD HOPE THIS BECOMES THE
NORM WITH EVEN PRIVATE

UNCONSCIONABLE AND WE'VE SEEN
THIS- DURING THE PANDEMIC AS
MANY SMALL. AND LARGE
BUSINESSES- STRUGGLED TO ADAPT
TO BASICALLY CHANGING
CONDITIONS BY THE DAY. WE DON'T
WANT SOMEBODY'S HEALTH CARE. TO
GET LOST IN THE SHUFFLE. OF
THEIR EMPLOYMENT AND SO I THINK
MAYBE TWO THIRTY SEVEN- MAKES
THAT. MESSAGE SENDS THAT
MESSAGE FRANKLY MAKES IT VERY
CLEAR THAT THIS IS THE PRACTICE
HERE IN CALIFORNIA- THIS IS OUR
EXPECTATION AND FOR THOSE
REASONS I THINK IT IS A
CRITICAL BILL EVEN IF- YOU SEE
OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER
ASSERTS THAT. THEY CURRENTLY
DON'T ENGAGE- IN DISMISSING-
EMPLOYEES DURING A- WORK
STOPPAGE OR STRIKE OKAY AND
THEIR HEALTH CARE I KNOW I-
HAVE GREAT INTEREST IN LAST
YEAR'S BILL BY THERE YOU ALSO
AUTHORED AB THREE TO FOUR-
WHICH HELP PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
EMPLOYEES BECAUSE STAFF REPORT.
IS HE TALKED ABOUT THE ACTIONS
THAT- THE UNITED AUTO WORKERS-
THE FACE WITH IT IN AN ACTUAL
STRIKE THAT WAS. MY TRADITIONAL
MODEL OF THE BAD EMPLOYER
HURTING THE AND- THE EMPLOYEE
I'M IN AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION
I'M GONNA STAY OFF THE BILL
TODAY JUST TO JUST TO BECAUSE I
HAVEN'T HAD DIRECT
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE- THE
OPPOSITION. BUT I SEE TO WRITE-
SENATOR ALSO YOU HAVE YOUR MIKE
UP. YES THANK YOU- I'M REALLY
GLAD THAT THE AUTHOR HAS
INTRODUCED THIS BILL- THERE IS
AN IMBALANCE CLEARLY AN
IMBALANCE OF POWER BETWEEN
WHETHER IT'S A PUBLIC OR
PRIVATE EMPLOYER IN THIS CASE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PUBLIC
EMPLOYERS. WHERE IF THE
EMPLOYEES THAT THEY WERE. THAT
WORK FOR THEM WANT TO GO OUT ON
STRIKE THEY HAVE TO. THEY HAVE
TO CONSIDER EVERYTHING FROM
WHETHER THEY'LL HAVE INCOME OR
NOT HAVE INCOME. AND THE FACT
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO FACE
ALSO THE LOSS OF HEALTH CARE
BECAUSE THE EMPLOYER WOULD STOP
PAYING FOR THAT HEALTH CARE
THAT IS NOT A PASSIVE DECISION
THAT MAY BE. THIS IS A VERY
SPECIFIC AND DELIBERATE
DECISION. THAT WOULD BE MADE I
SEE IN THE OPPOSITION COMMENTS-
THAT THERE IS A BY THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WHERE
IT SAYS. YOU SEE CURRENTLY PAYS
FOR COVERED HEALTH CARE COSTS
DURING THE STRIKE AS LONG AS
THE EMPLOYEE WORKS AT LEAST
HALF THE HOURS WE MUST NOT A
STRIKE. AND IF YOU'RE ON STRIKE
YOU KNOW WORKING HALF THE HOURS
SO CLEARLY THE POLICY OF UC AND
IN THIS CASE I'M JUST REFERRING
TO THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR
RESPONSE. CLEARLY THEY'RE
MAKING A DECISION THEY WOULD
MAKE A DECISION TO NOT COVER
HEALTH CARE DURING THE STRIKE.
THEY'RE ALREADY THOSE EMPLOYEES
ARE ALREADY HAVING TO FACE NO
NOT HAVING ANY INCOME. AND THEN
ON TOP OF THAT I THINK THIS
IT'S AN ABUSE OF THE POWER- I
THINK IT'S INHUMANE AND I'M
REALLY GLAD TO SEE THAT- WE'RE
ADDRESSING THIS NOW. FROM AND
THE FACT THAT WHEN THEY SAY
ALSO THAT THE UNIVERSITY DOES
NOT IMPEDE AN EMPLOYEE'S RIGHT
TO STRIKE. THE FACT ALL BY
DENYING THEM ON BY ACTIVELY
DECIDE DECIDING NOT TO PAY FOR
THE HEALTH CARE THEY ARE THAT'S
AN EXAMPLE OF IMPEDING THAT
EMPLOYEES RIGHT TO STRIKE SO I
AM VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS AND-
I WOULD URGE MY COLLEAGUES TO
SUPPORT THIS AS WELL THANK YOU.
OTHER MEMBERS. A SUMMARY
BROTHER THAT- A SECOND SENTENCE
OKAY SORRY THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I KNOW IT'S HARD DURING
UP THERE AND SING THE GLARE
BUT- I TOO WANT TO COMMEND THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD IT'S IT IS
UNCONSCIONABLE THAT- THIS IS A
PRACTICE GOING ON. IN OUR STATE.
AND SO- OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE
TO SUPPORT THE BILL I'D LIKE TO
BE A CO AUTHOR- BUT AS THE
STATE IS MAKING. INCREDIBLE
INVESTMENTS TO EXPAND HEALTH
CARE FOR FOLKS. THIS MAKES NO
SENSE WHATSOEVER. AND SO I
REALLY- YOU KNOW KNOW THAT YOU
ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TAKING
THIS BILL FORWARD AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU IN
THAT SENSE TO ENSURE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOLKS TO FIND
THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE. THEY
HAVE COVERAGE FOR THEM AND
THEIR FAMILIES THAT IS A BASIC
RIGHT THANK YOU. I SEE NO OTHER
MIKES UP OF SEVEN OR GREATER
YOU MAY CLOSE. THANK YOU-
SENATORS FOR THE THOUGHTFUL
COMMENTS AND DELIBERATION I DO
THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT BILL
AND I'LL JUST SAY THIS I HAVE A
YOUNGER SISTER WHO LIVES WITH
TYPE ONE DIABETES AND SHE'S
LIVE WITH THAT CONDITION SINCE
SHE WAS TWO YEARS OLD. AND IF
MY MOTHER WERE FOR THE POSITION
OF LOSING. HER HEALTH CARE
STANDING UP FOR HER RIGHTS AND
HER PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AND SHE
HAD TO CONSIDER THE LOSS OF
HEALTH CARE WHAT THAT
PRACTICALLY MEANS FOR MY LITTLE
SISTER. OR ANY OTHER FAMILY
FACING SIMILAR CONDITIONS IT IS
UNCONSCIONABLE AND- ALTHOUGH AS
WE SAID THIS DEBATE YOU CAN
POINT TO. A CURRENT LAW WHICH
SOME ARGUE PROHIBITS THIS
PRACTICE ANYWAY- I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT WE SEND A CLEAR
MESSAGE FROM SACRAMENTO A
CLEARLY IN STATUTE I OPENED UP.
SAYING THAT THIS BILL SIMPLY
PROHIBITS PUBLIC EMPLOYERS FROM
TERMINATING HEALTH CARE
COVERAGE DURING THE WORK
STOPPAGE OR STRIKE PERIOD THE
END. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT I
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION-
AND RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU I
VOTE. THIS AFTERNOON. AND THERE

FOURTEEN FORTY FOUR TAKES A
THREE PRONGED APPROACH PROTECT
CONSUMERS AND HELP SMALL
BUSINESSES. FIRST ENSURE THAT
FOOD DELIVERY PLATFORMS AND
ONLINE DIRECTORIES PROVIDE
ACCURATE BUSINESS INFORMATION
SECOND IT PROHIBITS THIRD PARTY
PLATFORMS IN CHARGING
RESTAURANTS FOR RAPID CALLS
THAT DO NOT RESULT IN A PAID
ORDER AND THIRDLY THERE
REQUIRES ALL FUTURE CONTRACTS
IN A FOOD FACILITY. AND FOOD
DELIVERY PLATFORMS INCLUDE
CLEAR INFORMATION OF ALL
POSSIBLE CHARGES OR FEES THAT
MAY BE INCURRED ON TO THE
RESTAURANT AND PROVIDE
INFORMATION LISTING WEBSITES WE
PARTNER WITH THE FOOD ORDER BY
FORM. AN INDEPENDENT ECONOMY
MANY BUSINESSES THAT HAD NO
CHOICE BUT TO BECOME MORE LINE
ON THIRD PARTY FOOD DELIVERY
PLATFORM SURVIVE. GIVEN THAT
RESTAURANTS ARE EXISTENTIALLY
RELIANT ON THESE SERVICES
THERE'S SIGNIFICANT DISPARITY
IN BARGAINING POWER BETWEEN THE
PLATFORMS AND RESTAURANTS AND
DESPITE GROWING COMPETITION IN
THIS SPACE THE FOOD DELIVERY
INDUSTRIES PRIMARILY CONTROLLED
BY ONLY FOUR COMPANIES. UBER
EATS POSTMATES DOORDASH AND
GRUBHUB COMPRISE. 99% OF SALES
IN THE FOOD DELIVERY MARKET.
THE PANDEMIC IT IS CLEAR THAT
BIG MONOPOLIES HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS NEW
ECONOMIC REALITY. WHILE MANY
RESTAURANTS HAVE STRUGGLED TO
SURVIVE THIS IS EVIDENT WITH
OVER FORTY THOUSAND RESTAURANTS
THAT HAVE CLOSED THEIR DOORS IN
CALIFORNIA WHILE THESE FOOD
DEALER PLATFORMS HAVE GROWN.
THEIR PROFITS EXPONENTIALLY TO
THE XENA PHOBIC AND MISINFORMED
NARRATIVES SURROUNDING COVER
NINETEEN THESE IMPACTS HAVE
BEEN FELT EVEN HARDER. BY ASIAN
AND ASIAN OWNED BUSINESSES. IT
IS CRITICAL WE PROVIDE THE
NECESSARY TOOLS ARE PROTECTIONS

THRIVE. HE MUST ENSURE THEY ARE

HEALTH RESTRICTIONS WE ALSO SAW
THAT THE AVERAGE RESTAURANT

TESTIFIED IN OPPOSITION MISS
SMITH PLEASE PROCEED. THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AMERICAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS HANNAH SMITH AND I AM
HERE ON BEHALF OF GRANDPA. I'D
LIKE TO THINK SHARE ON BERGEN
AND STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON AT
FOURTEEN FORTY FOUR IN REMOVING
ONEROUS REQUIREMENTS ON THIRD
PARTY LISTING WEBSITES. WE
REMAIN SUPPORTIVE OF THE
PROVISION PROHIBITING THIRD
PARTY PLATFORMS FROM CHARGING
RESTAURANTS FOR ROUTE A CALL
BUT DID NOT RESULT IN BORDERS.
HOWEVER STRONGLY OPPOSES THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT REQUIRING
THE DISCLOSURE OF THE
RESTAURANT PHONE NUMBERS ON THE
THIRD PARTY LISTING WEBSITE.
CERTAINLY THE THAT HE WHEN THE
BIBLE AND GROWING RESTAURANT
COMMUNITY THAT IS ABLE TO
BALANCE INTEREST UNTIL EVERY
OPTION FOR DINERS. WHAT ABOUT
COMMUNITIES WORKING ALONGSIDE
AND WITH RESTAURANTS TO SUPPORT
THEIR GROWTH. GRUBHUB CONTRACTS
WITH RESTAURANTS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA AND THE COUNTRY TO
PROVIDE PHONE ORDERING SERVICE.
I'M INTERESTED IN THIS BILL
REQUIRES POPCORN TWO PHONE
NUMBERS FOR THESE RESTAURANTS A
UNIQUE PHONE NUMBER OF THE
SERVICE THAT THEY ARE
CONTRACTED WITH GRUBHUB TO
PROVIDE. THE RESTAURANT
DIRECTION NUMBER. BEYOND BEING
CONFUSING FOR CONSUMERS THIS IS
AN UNPRECEDENTED REQUIREMENTS
IT WOULD HURT THE ABILITY FOR
RESTAURANTS TO RUN THEIR OWN
BUSINESSES AS THEY SEE FIT.
DURING THE SERVICE THAT WE
PROVIDE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
RESTAURANTS THEY'RE ABLE TO SEE
HOW THEIR ORDERS ARE BEING
GENERATED BY. I ON ORDER NUMBER
CONSTANT PHONE NUMBERS AND ABLE
REAL TIME MARKETING MEASUREMENT
AND ALLOW RESTAURANTS TO GET A
BETTER IDEA OF WHICH MARKETING
TOOLS WORK. BY GENERATING
ORDERS AND WHICH DO NOT. THE
NEGATIVE IMPACT OF THE BILL GO
BEYOND OLDER GENERATION
RESTAURANT CONTRACT ABOUT TO
PROVIDE SERVICES FOR A NUMBER
OF REASONS. FREQUENTLY AND
ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW WE HEAR
HOW THE SERVICE IS PARTICULARLY
CRITICAL BECAUSE OF THE
UNPRECEDENTED SHORTAGE OF
HOSPITALITY STAFFERS. IT IS
ALSO IMPORTANT AS AN IMPORTANT
MEANS OVERCOMING LANGUAGE
BARRIERS. FOR RESTAURANT OWNERS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. MAKE NO
MISTAKE. THIS BUDGET AT THIS
LEGISLATION WERE TO PASS IT
WOULD DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT
MANY SMALL IMMIGRANT OWNED
BUSINESSES. WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING
WITH THE CHAIR NUMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE FOR SOME TIME AND
RECOGNIZE THAT. MEETING AT THE
CAMP PROGRESS AND WE THANK YOU
FOR YOUR HELP AND LOOK FORWARD
TO THAT CONTINUING
CONVERSATIONS. THANK YOU DAVID
NELSON PLEASE PROCEED. A GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR IN- MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE THIS IS DAVID
MALCOLM THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC
POLICY FOR THE CALIFORNIA ASIAN
PACIFIC CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-
REPRESENTING THEIR RESPECTIVE-
THOUSANDS OF APIAPI OWNED
BUSINESSES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND WE DO HAVE
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS ABOUT THIS
BILL AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN WE
DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE DON'T
SUPPORT THE STATE- AND IMPOSING
RESTRICTIONS ON ALREADY
EXISTING CONTRACTS. THAT HAVE
BEEN SIGNED IN GOOD FAITH IT IS
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
BUSINESS OWNERS. FRANKLY THEY
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING WHEN
THEY GO INTO CONTRACTS WITH
VENDORS THAT HELP AND SUPPORT
THE BUSINESSES. SHOULD THINK
THAT THEY ARE DUPED OR THAT
THEY HAVE THE INABILITY. TO
UNDERSTAND THE CONTRACT WHICH
THEY ARE GETTING INTO I THINK
IT'S A DISCREDIT TO- THE
INTELLIGENCE OF ALL SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS. I WOULD LIKE
TO REFERENCE THAT FORTY ONE
PERCENT. OF PHONE ORDERS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA FROM BROKE
GRUBHUB COME FROM ASIAN
RESTAURANTS. THAT IS A VERY
SIGNIFICANT REVENUE STREAM FOR
API RESTAURANT. ANY. DISRUPTION
OR CONFUSION ABOUTSERVICE WILL
NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE BOTTOM
LINE OF ASIAN RESTAURANTS AND
ON TOP OF THAT AS WE ALL KNOW
THERE IS A WORKER SHORTAGE AND
THIS IS PART OF THE SERVICE
THAT IS PROVIDED IN THIS
CONTRACT BETWEEN IN THIS CASE
FOR A PUBLIC AND A PRIVATE AND
A PRIVATE RESTAURANT WE NEED TO
HONOR THAT AND WE NEED TO BE
MINDFUL OF WHAT WILL HELP MAKE
BUSINESSES GROW. UP LIKE THIS
LIKE THIS HELP BUSINESSES TO
GROW I WOULD- I WOULD POSE THAT
IF. THESE SERVICES HAD NOT BEEN
IN EXISTENCE SINCE LAST YEAR WE
WOULD SEE EVEN MORE BUSINESSES
ESPECIALLY WITH IMMIGRANT OWNED
BUSINESSES RESTAURANTS. OUT OF.
SO WE CURRENTLY HAVE POSED. THE
FILM WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME
AND CONSIDERATION OF THE COMMON.

LET'S BRING IT BACK TO THE
CHAIR NO ONE ELSE ON THE PHONE
LINE IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION
BRING BACK THE CHAMBER
QUESTIONS IN THE CHAMBER.
SENATOR HERTZBERG. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MR CHAIRMAN I. WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR WE CAME TO
THE OFFICE AND SPENT SOME TIME
TALKING ABOUT. BY THIS MEASURE
HADN'T STUDIED BEFORE. BUT I
APPRECIATE. HIS TIME AND
WILLINGNESS TO. DISCUSS IT I
JUST. YOU'VE HEARD THE
ARGUMENTS SUNNY AND CONCERNS
ME. A LITTLE BIT HERE AND EAT
IT WAS THE ARGUMENT BY THE- ONE
OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE. AND I
LIKE TO GET YOUR THOUGHTS ON
THIS SORT OF SPONSOR STARTS ON
THIS- THERE'S A GAP CALLED OPEN
TABLE WHICH IS KIND OF A COOL
APP. IF IT'S A RESTAURANT WHAT
I DO IS I GO TO OPEN TABLE AND
I SAY- I WANNA RESERVATION
BECAUSE I'M HAVING DINNER WITH
SENATOR ALSO. IN THE TWO OF US
ARE GOING TO BE THERE THAT
NIGHT AND CAN YOU DO IT AND I
HOPE THE TABLE THEN CONTACTS
THE RESTAURANT. GETS THE
RESERVATION I HAVE A LITTLE
THING ON MY PHONE WHEN I GO
THERE IT SHOWS THAT. WERE
AVAILABLE FOR THAT. SO
BUSINESSES CHOOSE THE OPTION SO
THE QUESTION HERE IS THE YOU
KNOW HEY I DO UNDERSTAND THE
POINT ABOUT THE BARGAINING
DESPITE BARGAINING POWER THAT
YOU MAKE AS AN UNDERLYING IT IS
ALWAYS IMPORTANT CONSIDERATION
AS WE SAW IN THE LAST BILL. AS
WAS DISCUSSED. FROM MY POINT OF
VIEW A BIT IF A BUSINESS WANTS
TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. COULD
THEY- HAVE AN OPT OUT PROVISION
THAT SAYS I WOULD RATHER I
DON'T WANT TO TAKE TELEPHONE
CALLS. DURING SOME OF THE
HOLIDAYS RECENTLY WHEN I TRY TO
GET STUFF DELIVERED TO THE
HOUSE RECALLED SOME RESTAURANTS
IS ONE IN PASADENA. WHICH I
LOVE AND THE LIKE AND WE TRIED
TO CALL THE TAKE THAT ORDER WE
COULDN'T GET IN ORDER TO THEY
WOULDN'T TAKE IT ON THE PHONE.
THEY MADE US GO TO THEIR APP.
OR GO TO SOME OTHER APP TO GO
TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE THEY'RE
SO BUSY AND THEY DON'T WANT TO
BE BURDENED BY IT. SO FOR
PURPOSES OF FLEXIBILITY IN THIS
KIND OF NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN
WITH THIS. THESE COMPUTER
THINGS IN THESE PHONE THINGS WE
GOT OUT THERE THAT WE DIDN'T
HAVE SOME TIME AGO. WHY SHOULD
WE HAVE THAT FLEXIBILITY WE
HAVE AN OPT OUT PROVISION THAT
SAYS OKAY IF I'M A BUSINESS AND
I WANT TO SIGN A CONTRACT AND I
WANT TO SUBCONTRACT OUT. TO
SOME COMPANY LIKE OPENTABLE. TO
DEAL WITH MY ORDERS OR WHOEVER
ELSE IT. MAY BE. WHAT DO YOU
WHAT YOU THOUGHT IN THAT REGARD
SO YOU DEAL WITH THIS TELEPHONE
ISSUE. BECAUSE THAT'S THAT
THAT'S SOMETHING WE'RE FROM A
BUSINESS. IT ACTUALLY MIGHT BE
COMPLETELY AGAINST MY INTERESTS
IN TERMS OF HOW I CHOOSE TO DO
BUSINESS YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT
YOUR. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION
CENTER THROUGH THANK YOU FOR
THAT. I THINK THE HEART OF THE
ISSUE REALLY IS THE INFORMED
CONSENT INFORMED AGREEMENT. SO
YOU HEARD FROM THE OPPOSITION
THAT IT MIGHT BE INSULTING TO
SMALL BUSINESSES THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE CONTRACTOR
SIGNING I WILL SHOW YOU THIS IS
FROM BROOKLYN SITE. THIS IS THE
CONTRACT THAT THEY SIGN. THAT
SAID. AND IT TOOK AWHILE FOR ME
MY TEAM TO EVEN UNDERSTAND THE
TEN EIGHT POINT. FINE FINE
PRINT RIGHT HERE. AND THERE IS
NO MENTION ABOUT CALL
FORWARDING I WILL LET YOU KNOW
THAT PRIOR TO THIS BILL BEING
INTRODUCED. AS PRIVATE
OPPOSITION THERE WERE TWO PHONE
NUMBERS LISTED BEFORE ONE THAT
WAS. A NUMBER CREATED BY
GRUBHUB ON YELP. I'M THE ONE
THAT DIRECTLY WITH THE
CUSTOMERS AND IN THE ANALYSIS
THERE WAS A- IT'S LIKE THEY GET
ADVICE PIECE THAT TALKS ABOUT.
WHEN CUSTOMERS GO TO COLD
COLDER THROUGH. THAT YUP
CRITICAL NUMBER EIGHT IT'S USED
AS A REFERRAL FEE A MARKETING
FEE THAT'S ASSESSED ON
BUSINESSES AND WE KNOW IT'S
SMALL RESTAURANT SMALL
RESTAURANTS. THE PROFIT MARGINS
ARE RAZOR THIN AND ADDING ON A
2230% MARKETING CHARGE
MARKETING CHARGE. REALLY HURTS
BUSINESSES SO IN THE COURSE OF
THIS BILL INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH
YELP WHICH SUBMITTED A LETTER
OF NEUTRALITY. ACTUALLY
DISCONTINUED THE PRACTICE
ALTOGETHER SO THE PRACTICE OF
THE BILL IS. IS HOPING TO
ENSURE THAT NO LONGER EXISTS IN
THE REAL WORLD NOW. BECAUSE
THEY UNDERSTAND IT IS SERIOUS
BECAUSE THE REAL PART IS YOU
KNOW A BUSINESS SHOULD HAVE THE
ABILITY CONTRACT WITH AN OPEN
TABLE OR- ANY SORT OF DIFFERENT
VENDORS AND THIRD PARTY APPS.
BUT HE NEED TO BE KNOWING WHAT
THEY'RE GETTING INTO. AND IN
THE CASE OF CALL FORWARDING IS
A PROBLEM WITH THE CONSUMER DID
YOU KNOW THEY WERE CHARGING
RESTAURANT AND THE RESTAURANT.
WAS ENTIRELY UNDERSTANDING WHAT
WAS HAPPENING. SO IF A
RESTAURANT WANTS TO SPEAK
WHAT'S HAPPENING THEY WOULD
HAVE TO GO TO SPEED THE MARKING
CHARGE WHICH- AND I HAD TO READ
THROUGH SEVERAL DOCUMENTS.
FALLS FROM EVERYTHING FROM
SOCIAL MEDIA TO PRINT MEDIA TO
PHONE ORDERS IT'S SUCH A HUGE
PART OF THAT. IF YOU'RE A SMALL
BUSINESS THAT'S WORKING. YOU
KNOW YOUR FAMILY AND YOU'RE
WORKING ALL THE HOURS YOU'RE
NOT GONNA HAVE THE TIME JUST.
RINSE THE WRINKLE FOR
EVERYTHING. AND THAT'S WERE
TRYING TO DO AND THAT'S WHY
WITH THE CHAIRS AND DOOR WITH
THE WORK OF THE CHAIR. HE ALSO
MORE DISCLOSURE LANGUAGE TO
MAKE OUT WHAT THESE FEES ARE
GOING TO BE SUCH A BETTER
INFORMED- GRIMMETT. CHECK ASK.
FOR THE QUESTION FOLLOW UP ON
THAT. THE MAJORITY LEADER YOU
MAY. THANK YOU KIND SIR. ON A
COMPLETELY ON THIS WHOLE WE
CALL ON THE LINE HE'S IN
CONTRACTS YOU KNOW WHEN YOU SEE
THESE THINGS AND WE DEALT WITH
THIS INITIAL PRIVACY THAT WE
DEALT WITH OVER MANY MANY
YEARS. AND YOU SEE THESE THESE-
THESE DOCUMENTS ARE SO LONG
EITHER PHD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
THEY SAY I COMPLETELY AGREE
THAT'S THE ISSUE. SO IF YOU
WANT TO DEAL WITH THIS LAW AND
SAY OKAY THESE HAD TO BE IN SO
MANY POINT TYPE. AND THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS- I'VE HAD A
NUMBER OF BILLS THAT WOULD
REDUCE IN THAT REGARD. WHAT I'M
TRYING TO GET TO IS. OKAY
INFORMED CONSENT. PUT A BOX ON
THERE RATHER THAN SAYING YOU
HAVE TO HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER
IF I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE
PHONE CALLS BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO HAVE SOMEBODY. IN OUR
CONTRACT OUT THOSE PHONE CALLS
TO SOMEBODY ELSE. WHY CAN'T I
AS A BUSINESS LIKE AN OPEN
TABLE. CHOOSE TO HAVE THAT
FLEXIBILITY. NOW YOU CAN MAKE
SURE IT'S CLEAR. THAT WHEN YOU
SIGN A CONTRACT THIS IS WHAT
YOU'RE DOING THIS IS WHY YOU'RE
DOING IT HERE'S THE CHARGE FOR
DOING IT. BUT WHY COULDN'T I
GIVE TO OPENTABLE TO SOMEBODY
ELSE AND NOT BE BOTHERED. TO
HAVE PHONE CALLS COME TO ME
AGAIN IF I WANT TO I CAN. BUT
WE'RE DOING AS A GOVERNMENT. IS
WE'RE MANDATING THAT THAT'S ON
THERE. AND THE QUESTION IS. WHO
WE PROTECTING. THE PROTECTION
DOESN'T OCCUR AT THE WITH THE
PHONE NUMBERS THERE. THE
PROTECTION OCCURS. TO THE
BUSINESS OWNER AT THE TIME THE
CONTRACTS SIGNED. SO THAT'S THE
INFLECTION POINT WHERE YOU
PROTECT SOMEBODY. AND YOU SAY
YOU'RE SIGNING A CONTRACT THESE
ARE THE TERMS. YOU KNOW YOU
NEED A LAWYER OR WHATEVER THE
CASE MAY BE BUT THAT'S THE
DETERMINATION AS TO WHENYOU
MAKE THAT DECISION. AND WHAT
YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR. NOT
MANDATING HOW YOU WANT TO. TAKE
YOUR CUSTOMERS. I THINK THE
IDEA OF HAVING AN OPT OUT
PROVISION. OR HAVING SOME
DISCLOSURE IN A WAY THAT IT WAS
BIGGER PRINT. OR SOMETHING
WOULD BE. ACHIEVE EXACTLY JUST
AS YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE. WITHOUT
TAKING AWAY THE ABILITY OF THE
USINESS OWNER TO. PAY WHAT
THEY WANT HOW THEY WANT TO DO
IT BUT YOU REALLY PROTECTING AT
THE SAME TIME HOW DOES THAT
MAKE SENSE TO YOU BY. I THINK
THAT KIND OF HELPS DEAL WITH
THE ISSUE. THANK YOU THANK YOU
SENATOR EXPERT. YEAH NUMBER LI
YOU CARE TO RESPOND OR IN YOUR
CLOTHES I WAS ON MY CLOTHES ALL
RIGHT. OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS
SAYING NONE IS THERE A MOTION.
SEND A COUPLE YEAR ALMOST THE
BILL. ALL RIGHT- YES SIR- HURTS
BIRD. ALL I'M SAYING IS I RAISE
THAT ISSUE I KNOW THAT YOU YOU
YOU WERE VERY GRACIOUS TAKING A
SERIES OF AMENDMENTS. THAT THE
CHAIR ASKED FOR IN YOUR
COMMITTEE YOUR STAFF WORK VERY
WELL WITH THE COMMITTEE. I
THINK WHAT I'LL DO HERE TODAY
IS I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT
I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE CHANGES
SOMEHOW ALONG THE PROCESS SO
VOTE FOR YOUR- MEASURE TODAY
BUT I WANT TO CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING THAT I THINK YOU
SHOULD WORK ON THIS ISSUE. THAT
REALLY ACHIEVE YOUR OBJECTIVE
ON THE ONE HAND AND AVOIDS THE
COMPELLING BUSINESSES HOW THEY
DO THEIR THE OTHER AND ALL WITH
HOLD THE RIGHT TO VOTE AT- AT A
LATER TIME ON THE FLOOR. IN
OTHER INSTANCES THANK YOU- SENT
A COUPLE YEAR THAN ARE ALSO I'M
OPEN THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I
JUST WANT A SECOND WOULD- MY
GOOD FRIEND FROM LOS ANGELES
SAID I HI THE FIRST. ITERATION
pLITTLE BIT CONCERNED WITH
TELLING PEOPLE WHAT KIND OF
CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIPS THEY
CAN HAVE WHEN IT'S VOLUNTARILY
ENTERED ITO BUT I ALSO
UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE FOR A
SMALL BUSINESS AND THAT IT'S
NOT AN EQUAL. RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE BUSINESS AND THESE
COMPANIES BUT BUT THERE SHOULD
BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SMALL
BUSINESS TO OFFLOAD SOME OF THE
WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND I
GOT TO SAY THAT IT'S REALLY
HARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE- YOU
DON'T KNOW WHO'S OPEN. AND
YOU'RE CALLING AND THEY DON'T
ANSWER THE PHONE BUT THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT OPEN
AND SO IT IT TO BE ABLE TO
OFFLOAD THE NEED TO ANSWER
PHONES- MAY BE A BENEFIT TO A
SMALL BUSINESS AND SO I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S THAT
OPPORTUNITY AS WELL. THANK YOU
SENT A COPY OF SOME OF RUSSELL
THANK YOU I HAVE A QUESTION.
RIGHT IS SOME OF ONE OF THE
WAYS THAT I LOOK AT THE BILLS
IS TO SEE WHO SUPPORTS AND WHO
OPPOSES OF COURSE. AND I'M
INTERESTED I'M CURIOUS ON THE
SUPPORT SIDE THE CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION- AND
OTHER CHAMBERS. ALONGSIDE THE
CONSUMER FEDERATION- AND THEN
ON THE OTHER SIDE OTHER-
CHAMBERS SO I'M UNCLEAR AS TO
WHAT THE INTERESTS ARE HERE.
THAT LEADS TO- BUSINESSES US
SUPPORTING AND THEN. BUSINESSES
OPPOSING ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY
APPEARED TO BE THE SAME KIND OF
BUSINESSES. SIMILAR MEMBER LEE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ANSWER THAT
QUESTION OR SANDRA AT THE THOSE
LISTENERS I THINK THAT'S A VERY
FAIR QUESTION AS A WONDER WHY
CERTAIN BUSINESSES ARE POSES
BILL THEY WERE NOT OPPOSED TO
IN THE ASSEMBLY THEY HAVE
JOINED ON LATER ON BUT I DO
THINK THEY MIGHT BE
MISUNDERSTANDING OUR BILL OUR
BILLS ONLY PROTECTS. THE PEOPLE
THERE WITHIN SMALL BUSINESSES
SMALL RESTAURANTS THAT FOR
REASONS WE DISCUSSED ARE HAVING
PERFECT BARGAINING POSITION AND
SO I'M UNSURE WHY THEY ARE BUT
WE DID ENGAGE IN CALIFORNIA
ASIAN CHAMBER- PACIFIC CHAMBER.
EARLY ON AS WELL. HE'S SORRY
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
THE BILL HAS EEN MOVED BY SOME
A COUPLE EURO. ALL RIGHT
BENCHING OF WHICH COULD BE
CLOSE YES THANK YOU SENATOR
ALBUM CLOSER BRIEFLY I JUST
WANT TO. CLARIFY TWO THINGS.
ONE IS THAT I DO AGREE THAT
BUSINESSES SHOULD BE ABLE TO
CONTRACT WITH THIRD PARTIES AS
THEY WISH. A. N. OPENTABLE
RAZZIE OR ALL THESE OTHER APPS
THAT EXIST OUT THERE FOR
SPECIFIC PURPOSES. IN THIS CASE
ABOUT FOURTEEN CALLS. I WILL
ARGUE MOST BUSINESS PROBLEM DID
NOT GET INTO BUSINESS
CONTRACTING TO BE HAVE OTHER
CALLS FOR IT ON ANOTHER LISTING
SERVICE. IN THE CASE OF THIS
BILL IS HAPPENING IS A YELP A
DIFFERENT APP. WAS HAVING FORTY
CALLS OF A GRUB WHICH IS A
PARTNERSHIP ON IT. THIS BILL
DOES NOT PROHIBIT PRESS SMALL
RESTAURANTS FROM STILL
RECEIVING ONLINE ORDERS THE
GROUPON APP RIGHT FOR THE
GROWTH OF BUILT IN APPLE YEP ON
YELP. THAT DOES NOT PROHIBIT
ANY OF THAT THING. AND I WILL
SAY ALSO. WE DO NOT HEAR ABOUT
THE SERVICE OF. LIKE A LIKE A
CENTER. THIS THAT HAS NOT
EXISTED WHEN THIS BILL WAS
PROPOSED THAT DID NOT EXIST YET
SO EVEN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT A WORKER SHORTAGE
ARGUMENT. IF YOUR CALL
FORWARDING A CALL WHETHER BE
THE ACTUAL PHONE NUMBER YOU
FIND ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD
OR YOU TO FORTY CALL IT STILL
GOES TO THE SAME. PEOPLE RIGHT
SO I CALLED THE GOWTH OF
NUMBER AND THE SAME RESTAURANT.
OWNERS THEY STILL PICK UP THE
PHONE SO THERE IS NO HOPE.
WORKER ARGUMENT THERE.
ULTIMATELY IF GRUBHUB DOES
EXPANDING CREEK THIS CALL
CENTER MODEL THAT'S SOMETHING I
CAN DO AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE
CAN REFINE IN THE PROCESS BUT
RIGHT NOW I WOULDSAY IS.
RESTAURANTS DID NOT SIGN UP TO
HAVE- THIS PRACTICE OF CALL
FORWARDING AND THEN PUT UNDER
MARKETING SERVICES THEY DID NOT
SIGN UP FOR THAT. WHAT THEY
SIGNED UP FOR THE NEWS THAT.
DURING THE PANDEMIC OF PEOPLE
STAYED HOME. THEY WENT TO THESE
COMFORTING ONLINE APPS AND MANY
OF THEM ESPECIALLY ASIANS
ALWAYS IN MY AREA DID NOT
UNDERSTAND THEM FULLY. BUT HE
KNEW THEY WERE PART OF
SURVIVAL. AND NOW AS WE KNOW
THAT STAYING ORDERING ON APPS
AND ORDERING. REMOTELY IS HERE
TO STAY AND THOSE PROFITS ALSO
SURGING. PEOPLE ARE STILL
DECIDING RIGHT THE PROBABLY
LOCAL BUSINESSES YOU'VE HEARD
EVERY MOVING AWAY FROM YELP
MOVING WE'VE BROUGHT UP AND
THERE'S A LOT MORE OPTIONS NOW

A LOT MORE DIFFERENT APPS OUT

LITTLE. MORE APPS OUT THERE

I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE'S
AMENDMENTS AND THANKING THE
CHAIR AND HIS STAFF FOR THEIR
WORK ON THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE
EIGHTY EIGHT ONE FOUR WILL
PROHIBIT EMPLOYEES OF A LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY AND
CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS FROM
CONDUCTING CONTACT TRACING AND
PLEASE PRIVACY PROTECTIONS ON
DATA COLLECTED FOR CONTACT
TRACING PURPOSES. SPECIFICALLY
THE BILL PROHIBITS DATA
COLLECTED RECEIVER PREPARED FOR
CONTACT TRACING PURPOSES FROM
BEING USED TO MAINTAIN OR
DISCLOSED FOR ANY OTHER
PURPOSES. OTHER THAN
FACILITATING CONTACT TRACING
EFFORTS. THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES
DELETION OF THIS DATA WITHIN
SIXTY DAYS WITH LIMITED
EXCEPTIONS THAT SERVE A PUBLIC
HEALTH PURPOSE. EXCEPT FOR
CONTACT TRACING REQUIRES THE
SHARING OF SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL
INFORMATION INCLUDING THE
PERSON'S NAME PHONE

IDENTIFYING DATA WELL THIS
INFORMATION WILL BE REQUIRED TO
SUCCESSFULLY STOP THE SPREAD.
OF THE CORONA VIRUS IN FUTURE
PANDEMICS THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
CONCERNS ABOUT THE STATE OF
POTENTIALLY BEING USED FOR NON
HEALTHCARE RELATED PURPOSES
INCLUDING ADVERTISING AND BY
LAW ENFORCEMENT IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR ARE LESS LIKELY TO
WILLINGLY INTERACT WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT. REGARDLESS OF THE
CONTEXT TO DISTRUST AND FEAR
AND HAVE BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED AND
AFFECTED BY TWELVE IN NINETEEN
CONTACT TRACING IS NOT AN
APPROPRIATE FUNCTION OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND UTILIZING LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO CONTACT TRACE
WILL CREATE DISTRUST IN CONTACT
TRACING EFFORTS. AND HINDER OUR
PUBLIC HEALTH GOALS. THIS BILLIS CRITICAL TO ENSURE THE
PUBLIC CAN TRUST THEIR DATA
WILL NOT BE MISUSED AND WILL
ONLY BE USED FOR A PUBLIC
HEALTH PURPOSE. THROUGHOUT THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS MY STAFF
AND I HAD ENGAGED WITH MANY
STAKEHOLDERS ON THIS BILL AND
WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO MOVING
FORWARD. AFTER THIS COMMITTEE I
PLAN TO WORK WITH AFFECTED
STAKEHOLDERS TO CREATE A
PROCESS WITH APPROPRIATE
OVERSIGHT FOR EXTENSIONS OF THE
SIXTY DAY DATA DELETION
REQUIREMENT FOR SPECIFIC
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES THAT
NECESSITATE LONGER DATA
RETENTION. EIGHTY EIGHT ONE

PRIVACY CALIFORNIANS AND BUILD
PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THE

THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
OFFERED TODAY- ALTHOUGH ALL THE
CONCERNS OF STAKEHOLDERS HAVE
NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BUT I TRUST

BILL MOVE OUT OF COMMITTEE IN
HIM OVER TO THE- I BELIEVE IT
GOES TO THE PREPARATIONS
COMMITTEE FROM HERE THAT'S
TRYING TO BALANCE THE PUBLIC
HEALTH INTERESTS OF THE PRIVACY
INTERESTS DIFFICULT TO DO. BUT
I'M CONFIDENT THAT- BY THE TIME

STRICTER ALL RIGHT LET'S BRING
IT BACK HERE TO THE CHAMBER-
LOOKING AROUND THE CHAMBER I
SEE CENTRE LAYERS MICROPHONE
RAISED EARLIER THANK YOU- WITH
THE PERMISSION OF THE CHAIR I'D
LIKE A QUESTION OF THE AUTHOR
SURE- BECAUSE IN ANY ANALYSIS
AND I THINK YOU MENTIONED IN
YOUR- IN YOUR STATEMENT YOU
MENTION THERE CERTAIN
EXCEPTIONS ON THE SIXTY DAY. OF
RULE ABOUT DELETION. OF
INFORMATION BUT IT ALSO SEEMS
TO INDICATE YOU WERE STILL
NEGOTIATING ON IT. THE ANALYSIS
SORT OF CALLED OUT TO BERKELEY
LOS THIS IS A PLACE THAT- YOU
WOULDN'T WANT THE INFORMATION
DELETED AND I JUST KNOW FROM.
MY YEARS AS AN AIDS SERVICE
AGENCY DIRECTOR THAT WOULD BE
ANOTHER THING WHERE YOU
WOULDN'T WANT THAT DELETED IT
SIXTY DAYS I JUST WANTED TO ASK
WHAT IS THE PROGRESS IN ANY
NEGOTIATIONS RELATED TO THAT
SIXTY DAY DELETION AND- AND
WHERE ARE YOU HEADING WEST IT
DOES YOU MOVED THE BILL. FOR
PERSONAL THANK YOU SENATOR FOR
THE QUESTION HIGHLIGHTING THAT
ISSUE THAT THE ANALYSIS DOES
NOTE AS WELL AS I THINK
IMPORTANT CONCERN RAISED BY THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. AND
THEY'VE BEEN ONE OF THE
STAKEHOLDERS THAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH VERY CLOSELY ON
THIS THIS BILL HAS A NUMBER OF
EXCEPTIONS ALREADY TO THE SIXTY
DAY- PERIOD- AND YOU SEE
DELIVERED US SOME LANGUAGE LOOK
OUT THIS MORNING THAT WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON
WHAT YOU SEE AND I THINK THAT
WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO FIGURING
THAT OUT- BEFORE THE BILL HEADS
TO THE FLOOR. AND MISTER JEFF I
CAN FOLLOW UP AND THE UC
CONCERN IS IT DOESN'T MAKE. A
SENSE TO DO WE WHEN THERE MIGHT
BE RESEARCH DONE UP BASED ON IT
IS THAT ONE OF THEIR MAJOR
CONCERNS I THINK THAT THEY HAVE
A NUMBER OF CONCERNS THAT- I
DON'T THINK IT'S JUST LIMITED
TO THAT. IN A IN A BROAD SENSE
STATED HE COLLECTED SOME OF
THEIR OWN DATA- WHICH IS
SEPARATE FROM DATA THAT THERE
MAY BE BORROWING HI I JUST KNOW
WE WERE. WE WERE IN A
PARTNERSHIP WITH UC SAN
FRANCISCO ON A RESEARCH PROJECT
WHEN I WAS DOING THAT DECADES
AGO. IN THE COLLECTION OF DATA
REALLY ALLOW THE POINT TO BE
PROVEN ON HIV AND SO OUR VOTE
TO MOVE THE BILL BUT I HOPE YOU
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT
BECAUSE- I THINK IT REALLY.
NEEDS SOME WORK YEAH I DON'T
KNOW. I DON'T DISCOUNT YOUR
CONCERN I SHARE AND I DON'T
THAT THE- DID. BETWEEN THE
LANGUAGE THAT WE HAVE NOW AND
THE LANGUAGE THAT YOU SEE
PRESENTED THIS MORNING WHICH
WERE AGAIN MEETING WITH
MULTIPLE STAKEHOLDERS. IN
CONJUNCTION WITH YOU SEE. TO
RESOLVE WHATEVER THOSE
DISTANCES MIGHT BE IT'S NOT
INSURMOUNTABLE I THINK THAT
WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
RESPOND OKAY. BUT WHAT. ON MY
OWN TIME MISTER CHAIR. AS I
SAID I'D BE WILLING TO DO A-
BOOK TO MOVE THE BILL BUT I'M
GONNA BE LOOKING CLOSELY AT HOW
THAT ISSUE RESOLVED AS IT MOVES
ALONG THANK YOU EARNINGS
PREVIEW CENTER LAST YEAR. CYCLE
WE ARE. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
I HAVE THE SAME- CONCERNED SO I
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT I'M- VERY
CLEAR THAT I'LL SUPPORT IT
TODAY I HAD AN INTERESTING BUT
I. HEAR THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON
SOMEONE TO BE SUPPORTIVE HERE'S
HERE'S THE CHALLENGE THAT I
HAVE AND IT'S- I'M REALLY
CONCERNED WITH US GETTING. DATA
THAT HELPS US TO DETERMINE HOW
WE CAN. SLOW DOWN THE VIRUSES
IT'S COMING IN THE FUTURE AND
THERE WAS DATA THAT WE DID NOT
COLLECT. IN DURING THAT THE
PEAKER AS THIS. AS THIS VIRUS
IS ROLLING OUT THAT I THINK
WOULD HAVE TOLD US. WHERE WE
WERE WE WOULD FIND THAT THE
BIGGEST INFECTIONS- NUMBER ONE
IS WE DIDN'T. WE DIDN'T SK
PEOPLE WHERE THEY WORKED AND
WHAT KIND OF WORK THEYDID- AND
WE DIDN'T ASK THEM- WHAT KIND
WHAT THEIR LIVING SITUATION WAS
WAS WAS LIKE IN OTHER WORDS. IF
WE'RE GOING TO SEND THEM HOME
TO QUARANTINE HOW MANY OTHER
PEOPLE WERE LIVING IN THE SPACE
AND WHAT WHAT WHAT WAS THE
SPACE WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE.
AND EARLY ON WHEN WE WERE ALL
SENT HOME IT WAS VERY CLEAR TO
ME THAT IF THIS. WAS A
TRANSMISSION TRANSMISSIBLE
DISEASE THAT WAS CARRIED- IN IN
THE AIR THAT TELLING PEOPLE TO
GO HOME. WHEN THERE WERE TEN
PEOPLE LIVING IN A THOUSAND
SQUARE FOOT. APARTMENT WHAT'S
NOT GOING TO BE A GOOD THING
AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT I THINK
THAT THAT WE REALLY NEED THE
DATA BECOMES REALLY CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT AND I DON'T. WE'RE
GONNA HOLD EMPLOYERS
RESPONSIBLE IF THEIR EMPLOYEES
ARE GETTING SICK AND DYING BUT
THEY MAY GO BACK TO A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT COMPANIES AND THEN IN
THOSE COUNTIES WE WEREN'T
ASKING YOU KNOW FOR YOU WORKING
WHAT KIND OF YOU'RE WORKING IN
A MEAT PACKING FACILITY OR
YOU'RE WORKING IN A- SOLID FOR
THIS FACILITY WITH PEOPLE
SHOULDER TO SHOULDER- WITHOUT
MASKS. THOSE ARE THE KINDS OF
THINGS THAT THAT I THINK WE- IF
WE HAD. IF WE HAD DONE THE KIND
OF CONTRACT TRACING THAT I
THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN. ITALY-
UNDERSTANDABLE FROM A
CONTAGIOUS CONTAGION
PERSPECTIVE SO I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WHATEVER WE'RE DOING
HERE DOES NOT IMPEDE RESEARCH
IF WE GO BACK AND WE START
SAYING OKAY WHAT WHAT COULD WE
HAVE LEARNED FROM THE DATA THAT
WE DID COLLECT AND- AND CAN WE
KEEP IT IN. IN A- THE DATA.
DISAGGREGATED IN A PUBLIC
SPHERE SO THAT PEOPLE CAN DO
RESEARCH SO THAT WE LEARN A
LITTLE BIT MORE FROM IT SO I
REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE AND I WANT TO
SUPPORT IT SO I WILL TODAY. BUT
I'M I'M CONCERNED ABOUT TRUCK
JUST. GETTING RID OF
INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN
PRODUCE PRODUCE. PRODUCE SOME
PRETTY GOOD RESULTS I THINK IN
TERMS OF UNDERSTANDING HOW WE
SHOULD MOVE FORWARD YEAH I
THINK THANK YOU VERY MUCH
SENATOR I SHARE ALL OF YOUR
CONCERNS- AND YOU KNOW ANY
EXCEPTIONS. THAT WE HAVE WHICH
IS WHY I FEEL LIKE WE'RE SO
CLOSE TO DC TO RESOLVING VALID.
ISSUES THAT THEY THEY ARE
RAISING- YOU KNOW STATE AND
LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS CAN
KEEP DATA LONGER THAN SIXTY
DAYS AND WHEN ONE OF THE
EXCEPTIONS HERE. WE ALSO HAVE-
ABILITIES TO SHARE- WHEN YOU'VE
GOT REQUESTS FOR APPROVALS FROM
THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
BEING YOU SEE- ALONG WITH THEIR
COMMITTEE FOR THE PROTECTION OF
HUMAN SUBJECTS FOR THE
CALIFORNIA HHS SO THERE ARE.
THERE ALREADY IN THE BILL WAYS
TO MAKE THESE THESE THINGS WORK
BUT WE WANT TO GO AND MEET YOU
SEE A LITTLE BIT CLOSER-
BECAUSE I DO SHARE THEIR THEIR
VALID CONCERNS AS WELL THIS IS.
WHAT IT IS COMPLICATED BUT IT
IT IS COMPLEX AND IT- IT IT IT
CALLS FOR THE ATTENTION THAT
YOU'RE ASKING FOR. PARTY THANK
YOU- SENATOR BORCHERS. THANK
YOU CHAIR. I'VE TAKEN A LOT OF
VOTES ON PRIVACY LAW RELATED
MATTERS- JUST LIKE MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE SPECIALLY
INJURED DISH. AND I'VE TRIED TO
DO FOR THAT. BECAUSE IT REALLY
IS I CAN'T ALLOW FOR THE FULL
X. IN COMMODITIES A OF INFOR.
ON NO CAN YOU. ALLOW THE
PENDULUM TO SWING TOO FAR
WHERE. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION IS
NOT AT. DISPOSABLE AT THE
DISPOSAL OF INDIVIDUALS- THAT
NEEDED AND I'M I'M CONCERNED
AND I VOTED FOR A NUMBER OF
YOUR ITEMS BEFORE THIS ONE I'M
I'M CONCERNED GOES A LITTLE BIT
TOO FAR. AND I KNOW THAT THERE
ARE MOMENTS IN CONVERSATION
STILL ON GOING. BUT I HAVE TO
KIND OF GO BACK TO MARCH OF
TWENTY TWENTY. WHERE SOMETHING
NEW HAPPENS AND WE SPENT THE
NEXT. SIX MONTHS NINE MONTHS
TRYING TO ACCUMULATE
INFORMATION. IN LEARN AS
QUICKLY AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE
WHAT THIS VIRUS WAS ABOUT AND I
THINK MY COLLEAGUE FROM SALINAS
EVEN IDENTIFIED THAT- WE HAD
MAJOR FAILURES AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL WHEN IT CAME TO CONTACT
TRACING BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS WHO
DIDN'T WANT TO DISCLOSE THE
INFORMATION AND YOU COULDN'T BY
FORCE OF LAW ANOTHER MEANS
PRODUCE THAT FOR SOME PRODUCE
THAT. AND WE ALSO DIDN'T HAVE
THE FOLLOW THROUGH OF PLACES OF
EMPLOYMENT AND CO HABITATION
AND ALL THAT WENT ALONG WITH
THAT SO. WE NOW HAVE A NEW
VARIANT THAT IS APPARENTLY MORE
CONTAGIOUS. THAN ON THE
ORIGINAL THAT WAS INTRODUCED.
INTO THE U. S. YEAR AND A HALF
AGO. AND I JUST BEEN TRYING TO
WRAP MY ARMS AROUND WHY WE
WOULD BE RESTRICTING
INFORMATION IF SAFEGUARDS CAN
BE PUT INTO PLACE IN LEGAL
MEASURES CAN BE PUT INTO PLACE
THAT WOULD DISALLOW THE ABUSE
AND MISUSE OF THAT INFORMATION.
NOW YOUR TICKET LATE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA AS BEING AN ENTITY
THROUGH WHICH A LOT OF THESE
NEGOTIATIONS ARE OUR ON GOING.
BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF PRIVATE
RESEARCH ENTITIES THAT ARE NOT
AFFILIATED WITH UNIVERSITIES
THAT ARE GOING TO NEED THIS.
AND A LOT F THESE
ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD HAVE
COMPLETE ACCESS. OR MORE FREE
ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION.
MAYBE THE SEGREGATION IS THE
WAY THAT HE CAN BE MAINTAINED
WHILE IDENTITIES ARE PROTECTED-
BUT I'M I'M CONCERNED THAT WE
ARE ALLOWING THE PRIVACY
ARGUMENT. TO OVERWHELM US WHEN
WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDST OF A
PANDEMIC WITH THE NEW VARIANT
ON THE STAGE. AND SO I THINK
YOU KNOW ONE OF THOSE CONCERNS
SO FOR EXAMPLE VACCINATION
STATUS. NOW IS THAT CAN YOU CAN
YOU ARTICULATE OR CONFIRM THAT
VACCINATION STATUS IS A PIECE
OF INFORMATION THAT WILL. B.
DEEMS RECOVERABLE OR WOULD THAT
NEED TO BE DELETED. IN THE
SIXTY DAYS AS WELL. THANKS FOR
THE QUESTION CENTER WERE JUST
THIS BILL IS NOT ABOUT VACCINES
THERE IS NOT THE WORD VACCINE
IN THE BILL. SORT OF BORED JUST
AS THAT RESPOND YOUR QUESTION
I'M NOT I'M NOT I'M NOT CERTAIN
IT DOES- IN TERMS OF. WHETHER
OR NOT SOMEONE STATUS AS HAVING
BEEN SICK OR NOT. WHETHER IT BE
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC OR THROUGH
ANY OTHER. ACTUATION IS THEIR
STATUS CONSIDER PROTECTED
PRIVACY MATTERS OR WOULD THAT
BE MAINTAINED IN. THE EXAM TWO
CATEGORIES. SOME I'M NOT. I'M
NOT SURE IF- YOU KNOW IT IF WE
JUST GO BACK TO WHAT THE BILL
IS ATTEMPTING TO DO IT'S
PROHIBITING EMPLOYEES OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND
CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS FROM
CONDUCTING CONTACT TRACING AND
IT ALSO PROHIBITS THAT DATA
THAT IS COLLECTED- AND RECEIVED
HER PREPARED FOR CONTACT TRICKS
TREATING PURPOSES FROM BEING
USED OR DISCLOSED FOR OTHER
PURPOSES THEN CONTACT TRACING
ITSELF IT DOES OF COURSE HAVE
THE EXEMPTIONS FOR THE RESEARCH
WHICH WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT-
SO IT'S INFORMATION COLLECTED
IN CONTACT TRACING- SAID I
DON'T I DON'T KNOW YOU KNOW
FROM A PEOPLE POWER PERSPECTIVE
WHICH I THINK WE ALL WERE VERY
CONCERNED EARLY IN THE PANDEMIC
IF WE'RE DOING A CONTACT PERSON
THAT WE NEEDED TO DO- IF THERE
IS A UNIFORM WAY. THAT THAT WAS
HAPPENING ACROSS COUNTIES- SO
I'M NOT SURE WHAT DATA IS BEING
COLLECTED. OKAY NOW I'M EVEN
MORE CONFUSED. SO THE IF YOU
DON'T KNOW WHAT DATA IS BEING
COLLECTED BUT THERE'S AN
EXCLUSIONARY PROCESS. A. B. U.
I THIS BILL RIGHT. AND IT'S
WHATEVER INFORMATION IS
COLLECTED IN CONTACT TRACING SO
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW IN
THE COUNTY THAT YEAR AND WHAT
WHAT THEY'RE COLLECTING RIGHT
SO YOU'RE ASKING YOU'RE ASKING
ME ABOUT SPECIFIC DATA POINTS.
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
CONTACT TRACING DATA SO
WHATEVER IS BEING CONDUCTED IN
A TRACING. SO IMAGINE. PERSON
ACTS WAS DEEMED TO TEST
POSITIVE. IT THROUGH CONTACT
TRACING IDENTIFIED THAT PERSON
X. HAD A RESTAURANT. OUR
ENGAGEMENT THE DAY BEFORE LIVES
WITH THREE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS
SO ON THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF A
NETWORK OF INFORMATION. THAT'S
WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO
CORRECT. BECAUSE THE PATHOLOGY
IN BEHAVIOR HUMAN BEHAVIOR IN
VIRUS PATHOLOGY ARE THINGS THAT
ARE CENTRAL TO ENTER THROUGH
CONTACT TRACING THAT'S WHY
ACADEMICS AND SCIENTISTS AND
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS. DO
THEIR ABSOLUTE BEST TO ASSEMBLE
THIS INFORMATION IN THE
ANALYTICS THAT GO ALONG WITH IT
TO PRODUCE A REPORT THAT
IDENTIFIES TRENDS. THAT ALLOW
US TO PREVENT SIMILAR OUTBREAKS
IN THE FUTURE OR SIMILAR
ENGAGEMENTS IN THE FUTURE. SO
EXACTLY IS YOUR QUESTION. WELL
THE FIRST QUESTION IS
VACCINATION STATUS CONSIDERED-
HE ADDED THAT SHOULD BE
PROTECTED AND PRESERVED OR
DELETED IN SIXTY DAYS YES AS I
MENTIONED THAT VACCINES ARE
MENTIONED IN THE BILL BUT TO
YOUR BROADER QUESTION LOCAL AND
STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENTS CAN
KEEP THE DATA LONGER THAN SIXTY
DAYS HELLO THAT IS NOT ALREADY
AN EXCEPTION IN THE BILL. HOW
LONG CAN THEY KEEP IT. SO THE
SIXTY DAY NUMBER IS WHAT'S IN
THE BILL NOT MUCH LONGER SO I
CAN'T I CAN'T MAKE THAT
DECISION FOR YOU OR I CAN TELL
YOU WHAT THAT NUMBER IS THAT
THEY'LL DETERMINE THAT THEY
NEED IT FOR LOOK LET ME LET ME
LET ME INTERJECT HERE PADDLING
SECOND AS MUCH FUN AS THIS IS
HALF OF IT IN TERMS OF CONTACT
TRACING CONTACT TRACING- CENTER
BOARD IS IF YOU'VE BEEN
CONTACTED BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN
IN PROXIMITY TO SOMEONE WHO-
TEST POSITIVE FOR IT AS YOU MAY
KNOW THEY ASK. ABOUT THAT THE
CONTACT THAT RELATIONSHIP
SHOULD TECH TRACING SO FAR AS I
KNOW DOES NOT INVOLVE INQUIRY
AS TO VACCINATION STATUS EITHER
WHETHER ONE'S BEEN VACCINATED
HOW MANY TIMES ONCE VACCINATED
OR NOT VACCINATED OR REASONS
WHY SO THAT DATA WOULD NOT BE
IN THE SIMPLY MEMBER LIVING YOU
CAN CORRECT ME THAT THAT IT
WOULD NOT BE COLLECTED IN
CONNECTION WITH CONTACT TRACING
SO SOME REMEMBER LEVIN CARE TO
COMMENT ON MY COMMENTS. NO
WE'RE GOOD THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT
HELPS OR HINDERS THE INQUIRY
CENTER MORICHES SURGEON JUST TO
CLARIFY WHEN INDIVIDUALS WERE
REACHING OUT- ORAS THEY HAVE
FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF MONTHS-
ARE YOU SAYING THAT NOT. DURING
THE CONTACT TRACING PROCESS
THEY DON'T INQUIRE INTO AN
INDIVIDUAL'S VACCINATION STATUS.
I'M NOT AN EXPERT ON CONTACT
TRACING BUT THAT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING AND EXPERIENCE
YES OKAY THE ASSOCIATION
MODELING THAT GOES IN THE
CONTACT TRACING IDENTIFIES TILL
THERE'S A CONTAINMENT- RATIO
WHERE THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED. UP
A CIRCLE OF INTERACTION. NOW IN
ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THOSE
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD BEEN
VACCINATED BUT STILL EITHER
TESTED POSITIVE OR- EXHIBITED
SYMPTOMS. THE ENTIRE NOTION OF
CONTACT TRACING IS TO
INVESTIGATE THE BREATH IN THE
EXPERT EXPOSURE- THAT
INDIVIDUALS HAVE GONE THROUGH.
AND SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT-
TRACY CONTACT TRACING
INFORMATION HE CAN INCLUDE. A
WHILE THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
ASSORTMENT OF INFORMATION THAT
COULD BE TERRIBLY HELPFUL. FOR
RESEARCH AND ACADEMICS AND
OTHERS IN OTHER. I MEAN MY
MISSING SOMETHING HERE. I MEAN
I REALLY APPRECIATE THE

I I'VE READ THROUGH THE
ANNOUNCES A FEW TIMES. AND THE
BILL WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT IS BEYOND THE SORT OF
RECORD RETENTION ISSUE THAT WE
KNOW YOU'RE- TRYING TO WORK ON
AND SETTLE. AM I MISREADING THE
BILL. TO SAVE IT YOU SEE OR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR YOUR CS
YOU. COULD NOT CONDUCT CONDUCT
CONTACT TRACING UNLESS IT WAS
OF THEIR EMPLOYEES OR IS THAT
NOT. NO THAT'S NOT IT NOT THAT
NOT ENOUGH SO EVEN THOUGH THE
DEFINITION OF LAUNCH HI I MISS
READING AT THAT SO THE
DEFINITION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY IT SAYS THAT YOU KNOW A
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY CAN ONLY
CONDUCT CONTACT RACING. FOR
THEIR EMPLOYEES AT THE SAME LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. JUST
BECAUSE YOU SEE SEE AS HUMAN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE UNDER
THAT DEFINITION OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY WE'RE STILL
GOING TO LET THEM. DO CONTACT
TRACING ON THEIR CAMPUS BUT
THEY CAN'T HAVE LIKE A- CAMPUS
POLICE BE THE ONE TO VISIT IS
THAT SORT OF THING YEAH
EXACTLY. OKAY SO THEY CAN STILL
CONDUCT THE CONTACT TRACING
EVEN IF IT'S NOT JUST THEIR
EMPLOYEES EVEN IF IT'S-
STUDENTS OWNER KNOWS THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WOULD NOT
YOU KNOW HOW TO DO THAT. ONE
PERSON OFFICE COULD NOT BUT-
YOU SEEN BEFORE EMPLOYEE EARLY.
AND THEN HAVE SOMEONE ELSE
VISIT THAT DORM ROOM OR
WHEREVER IT IS. ALL RIGHT SO
LONG AS IT WAS NOT A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. DOING THAT
INTERFACING OKAY GREAT. THANKS
FOR THAT UNDERSTANDING OF THE
MEASURE OF ITS PROPERTY THANK
YOU. FOR THE QUESTIONS THANK
YOU SEEING SEEING NONE- I'M
SORRY SIR WINNER. THANK YOU
THANK YOU- MR CHECK MISTER
CHAIRMAN I SPOKE TO THE AUTHOR
ON ABOUT THIS YESTERDAY I
SUPPORT THIS BILL- AND I
APOLOGIZE I WAS OUT TO SENDING
A BILL SO THIS CAME UP ALREADY
WHILE I WAS PRESENTING
APOLOGIZE. ON THAT I'M VERY
GRATEFUL THAT THE BILL HAS AN
EXEMPTION FOR OUR COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS AND STATE PUBLIC
HEALTH- AND THAT I DO. BELIEVE
THAT- THAT YOU SEE SHOULD HAVE-
IT'S NOT THE SAME IN SIMILAR OR
SOME SORT OF GUARD RAIL-
EXEMPTION. BECAUSE YOU SEE A
AND THEN WE SAW THIS IN THIS
KIND OF AMERICAN SOME WAYS
FUNCTIONS. LIKE A PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT A LOT OF WAYS AND
WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF HIS
BASIC. PUBLIC HEALTH WORK
HAPPENING AT OUR UC CAMPUSES
ARE LITTLE DIFFERENT VERY
DIFFERENT THAN A- PRIVATE
ENTITY WHERE I COMPLETELY I.
UNDERSTAND THE PRIVACY CONCERNS
AND SO I WILL I'M GLAD AND I
AGREE WITH THE AUTHORS
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE YOU
SEE I DON'T THINK IT'S A BROAD.
MAJOR AMENDMENT I THINK IT'S
PROBABLY A VERY NARROW
EXEMPTIONS THAT YOU SEE WHEN
IT'S- CAN RETAIN THIS DATA. FOR
RESEARCH AND DATA.
DISAGGREGATED DATA COLLECTION
PURPOSES WITHOUT HAVING TO GET
IT FROM A PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT- AND YOU KNOW I GOT
I COME OUT TO US. FROM THE WORK
WE'VE DONE DURING THE PANDEMIC
WHICH REALLY SHOWED SOME OF THE
REAL DEFICIENCIES. ON OUR DATA
COLLECTION- SPECIFICALLY WE ARE
WORKING ON THEIR PROFOUND LACK
OF LGBTQ. DATA COLLECTION
AROUND KOBE BUT IT'S A BROADER
THAN THAT WE JUST DON'T DO A
GREAT JOB. AND THE LGBTQ
CONTACTS WE LEARNED AFTER THE
FACT. THAT THE CDPH AFFECTED WE
WAS REALLY ONLY COLLECTING
CONTACT TRACING RELATED. DATA
WHICH IS. PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE
IT WASN'T THE ACTUAL TESTING
DATA BUT AT LEAST IT WAS
SOMETHING- AND SO THAT THE
CONTEXT RAISING DATA WHEN IT'S
DISAGGREGATED SO IT'S NOT
VIOLATE ANYONE'S PRIVACY. CAN
BE QUITE VALUABLE AND I WOULD
HATE TO HAVE TO JUST DELETE
THAT AND- AND SO THAT'S WHY I%
DO THINK INCLUDING YOU SEE
WOULD BE A GOOD THING SO. I
WILL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL AND
I APPRECIATE. THE AUTHOR'S
CONTINUING WORK. OR THANK YOU

IN Q. ALL RIGHT LET'S TURNED
OPPOSITION I SEE- TWO PRIMARY
WITNESSES LISTEN OPPOSITION MR
GLAND BACCHUS AND MISS KATHY
SCHEER. MR BACCHUS ARE YOU ON
THE LINE. MR KERRY COMMITTEE
GOING BACK AS A DRUG POLICY
ALLIANCE. THANK YOU FOR HEARING
OUR OPPOSITION TO THE DIMMER
CAN I- DON'T OPULATED NOT
PROFIT FROM THE SALE OF
CANNABIS WE WORK FOR THE
PASSAGE OF PROP SIXTY FOUR. THE
STOCK CALIFORNIANS ARE BEING
ARRESTED INCARCERATED. ANOTHER
USE FOR GROWING SMALL AMOUNTS
OF CANNABIS. WE ALSO WANTED TO
FUND DRUG TREATMENT HARM
REDUCTION AND PREVENTION
PROGRAMS AND TO REINVEST IN
COMMUNITIES THAT THEN
DEVASTATED BY THE DRUG WAR AND
MASS INCARCERATION. I THINK WE
SPONSORED AND SUPPORTED BILL TO
BRING ON MORE EQUITY LICENSES.
FOR EQUITY LICENSEES AND
LEGISLATION TO ASSIST STATE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND BRINGING
ON MORE EQUITY LICENSES AND
OTHER TYPES OF LICENSES. WE
DON'T WEIGH IN ALMOST A
REGULATORY BILLS. HOWEVER WE
PROPOSED TO BE AMENDED. CURRENT
LAW ALREADY PUNISHES THE
UNLAWFUL SINGLE CAMPUS. WITH UP
TO SIX MONTHS IN JAIL PERFECT.
THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW THE SAME
PROSECUTOR COULD THREATEN LOCAL
CONVICTIONS THAT RESULTED IN
CONSERVATION AND TO THREATEN
MASSIVE CIVIL PENALTIES AS WELL
BASED ON SAMETIME SHOCKS.
PREHISTORICAL PLEA BARGAIN THE
DEFENDANT MIGHT HAVE TO ACCEPT
IT ON JUST JAIL SENTENCE. AVOID
CRIPPLING GAP OR ALTERNATELY
EXCEPT CRIPPLING DEBT TO AVOID
THE DANGERS OF COUNTY JAIL.
SCREAMING IN FACT BE PUNISHED
WITH BULLS BECAUSE THE
LEGISLATURE ELECTED TO GIVE
THIS POWER THE PROSECUTORS AND
COURTS. PROSECUTORS SHOULD
SIMPLY HAVE TO CHOOSE CRIMINAL
OR CIVIL BUT NOT BOTH THIS THIS
BILL GIBSON BUT- WE DON'T
OPPOSE THE PROVISION ALLOWS
PROSECUTORS TO BE REIMBURSED
FOR THE COST OF ENFORCING THE
LAW. WE BELIEVE THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT FUNCTIONS SHOULD BE
FUNDED FROM STATE AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS BUDGETS. NOT FROM
FINES LEVIED BY THE SAME LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY. WE KNOW
FROM HISTORY ABOUT THE
FORFEITURE THAT WHEN AN AGENCY
MAY LEGALLY PROFIT FROM THE
TYPE OF ENFORCEMENT. THAT SOME
AGENCIES NOT ALL BUT SOME WILL
INEVITABLY DIVERT RESOURCES
FROM OTHER EFFORTS THE ONE THAT
PAYS FOR ITSELF AND PERHAPS
PROVIDE A LITTLE EXTRA TO BE
ABLE TO COME. THIS IS A
MISTAKE. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE
THAT INCENTIVIZING PROSECUTIONS
IN THIS WAY AND BY ADDING HIGH
CIVIL PENALTIES ON TOP OF
CRIMINAL PENALTIES. IT'S GOING
TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF THE
LEGAL STORES. OR OTHER CANNABIS
ACTIVITIES AND WATCH AS WELL AS
ANY PLACE ELSE. WE BELIEVE THIS
BILL OKAY MAYBE YEARS TO
PUNISH. LOW INCOME PEOPLE OF
COLOR HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN THE
HISTORY OF EVERY PENALTY IN THE
CONTEXT OF MARIJUANA OR OTHER
DRUGS. NO MATTER WHAT THE
LEGISLATIVE INTENT. THAT'S HOW
IT GOES WE DO KNOW ABOUT THANK
YOU. THANK YOU MISS MARGUS
MISCAVIGE HERE. YES GOOD
EVENING KATHY SHARED RADIO YOU
CALIFORNIA ACTIONS WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE ELEVEN
THIRTY EIGHT I WANT TO START BY
THANKING THE AUTHOR FOR HER
WILLINGNESS TO WORK ON OUR
CONCERNS AND THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON THE
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE SET OUT.
THE ANALYSIS. SO THE MEMBERS
ARE AN ENORMOUS IMPROVEMENT AND
WILL HELP TO KEEP THE LAW FROM
BEING USED TO TARGET THE LOW
LEVEL. LOW INCOME EMPLOYEES WHO
HAVE LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE
ILLEGAL OPERATION RUN BY THEIR
EMPLOYER. HOWEVER WE HAVE
REMAINING CONCERNS AND MUST
REMAIN IN OPPOSITION. I JOINED
IN THE COMMENTS OF MR BACK
INSIDE TO THE DANGERS OF
ALLOWING. THE SAME AGENCY THIS
BECAUSE SEVERAL AND CRIMINAL
PENALTIES AGAINST AN INDIVIDUAL.
SECONDLY WE ARE CONCERNED THAT
BECAUSE THE AG COUNTY COUNCIL
CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE CITY
PROSECUTORS WILL BE ABLE TO BE
REIMBURSED FROM THE FINES
GENERATED BUT THIS WILL GIVE
THEM AN IMPROPER INCENTIVE. TO
USE THE PROSECUTION OF THE CASE
BECAUSE THE GENERATE REVENUE
FOR THEIR OFFICE. WE REMAIN
UNCONVINCED THAT THE ONEROUS
PENALTIES PERMITTED IN THE CELL
WILL ACTUALLY REDUCE THE NUMBER
OF UNLICENSED ESTABLISHMENTS
OPERATING IN THE STATE. INSTEAD
WE FEAR THAT THOSE WHO WILL BE
HURT MOST OF THE PEOPLE OF
COLOR AND LOW INCOME PLACES. AT
WHICH- WE RESPECTFULLY ASK
COLONEL. ALL RIGHT OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION SAYING NO ONE OF THE
GALLERY NO ONE ROOM ONE TWELVE
ONE TWELVE. ON THE PHONE LINE
DOES AN OPPOSITION MATER IF YOU
PLEASE QUEUE THEM UP. IF YOU
LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION YOU
MAY PRESS ONE ZERO AT THE TIME.
WE HAVE NO ONE IN Q. SORRY
THANK YOU LET'S BRING IT BACK
TO THE FLOOR US AND A COUPLE
EURO. THANK YOU MR CHAIR- I
JUST WANNA SAY THAT THIS IS- I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
BRINGING THIS BELL- I THINK THE
AMENDMENTS TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION- ADDRESS SOME OF
THE ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED BY
THE OPPOSITION. THAT THAT THAT
THAT I THINK- I THINK THEY
REALLY RESOLVE IT AND SO I JUST
WANT TO SAY THAT- BYE BYE
ADDING THAT THE PERSON HAS TO
BE AN OWNER OFFICER OR
CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER. IN AS
PART OF THE ANALYSIS AS TO
WHETHER THEY- THEY HAD A AND A
COMMAND OR CONTROL DECISION- I
THINK WE SHOULD RESOLVE SOME OF
THE ISSUES THAT THAT WERE
RAISED IN REGARDS TO HOW IT
GETS USED IN AND INTERPRETED UP
OUT IN THE REAL WORLD AND-
QUITE FRANKLY PART OF THE-
CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE. IN
LEGALIZING CANNABIS IS WE
HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH TO STOP THE
ILLEGAL TRADE IN THE IN THE
STATE SO IF THE ILLEGAL TRADE
IS EASILY ACCESSIBLE AND CHEAP.
THAT'S WHERE PEOPLE WILL GO
INSTEAD OF THE LEGAL TRADE AND
SO ON THE MORE THAT WE CAN DO
TO PUT TO PUT TEETH IN THE LAW
SO THAT WE CAN. START TO DRIVE
THE ILLEGAL TRADE OUT OF THE
STATE AND INTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S
STATE- THE BETTER OFF WE'RE
GOING TO BE IN SO I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY AND I'D
LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR
WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE AND WHEN
IT'S APPROPRIATE AND LIKE TO
MAKE THE MOTION. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU SO THE COVER GIRL
SENATOR CHARLES. YEAH THANK
YOU- I TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES
AS MY COLLEAGUE- CENTER CAPITAL
HAD JUST MENTIONED ABOUT-
INSURING THAT WERE REALLY GOING
AFTER THE BIGGER GUYS AND I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR FOR
TAKING THOSE AMENDMENTS AND FOR
WORKING. ON THIS BECAUSE IT IS
A REALLY BIG ISSUE- YOU KNOW I
STILL I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE
ANY MAYBE WHEN I'M ADDING YOUR
CLOSING REMARKS BUT- I STILL
HAD ISSUES WITH THE- OPPOSITION
I MEAN IN THE GLOBAL CONTACTS
AND I DON'T THINK THIS BILL
DOES THAT BUT IN A GLOBAL
CONTEXT I KNOW. THIS IS A
LARGER ISSUE WITH CONTINUING
TO- CRIMINALIZE- THIS SPECIALLY
PEOPLE OF COLOR FOR MARIJUANA-
AND THAT'S NOT. WHAT TRYING TO
TACKLE HERE THIS IS NOT YOUR
INTENTION WHATSOEVER. BUT I GET
YOU KNOW WHAT THE OPPOSITION IS
SAYING IN THAT SENSE SO- OF
COURSE WILL BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL AND I JUST THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING IT FORWARD BUT I.
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.
SENATOR WIENER. I THANK YOUR
MANAGER IN THE CHORUS BRITAIN'S
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY AND I
REALLY- I REALLY DO APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR TAKING THOSE
AMENDMENTS TO MAKE CLEAR WE'RE
GOING AFTER THE- THE
RINGLEADERS NOT THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE. LOOKING AT A LOWER LEVEL
IN THE ORGANIZATION ARE CAUGHT
UP IN IT I DO. NOT SEE VERY
SENSITIVE TO THE CONCERNS OF
THE OPPOSITION- IN TERMS OF NOT
REALLY. ATTENDING PEOPLE'S
LIVES BECAUSE THEY'RE CAUGHT UP
IN. AN ILLEGAL OPERATION I
THINK IS A MAN IN SCHOOL A LONG
WAY. TO ADDRESSING THAT. YOUR
BIG PICTURE HERE. WE HAVE
CANNABIS BUSINESSES. WHO ARE
TRYING TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW.
THEY'RE SPENDING. A LOT OF
MONEY. AND IBM THIS IS
SOMETHING I SAY THIS AS A
LIBERAL DEMOCRAT WHO. YOU KNOW
BUT FOR A LOT OF TAXES AND
REGULATIONS. WE HAVE SO HEAVILY
REGULATED AND- IMPOSE VERY HIGH
TAXES ON THIS. INDUSTRY THAT IT
HELPS IN SOME WAYS FUEL AN
ILLICIT MARKET- AND APART FROM
THE TAXES THAT THEY'RE PAYING I
THINK IT'S- BETWEEN THE
CULTIVATION AND USE TAXES LIKE
TWENTY FIVE PERCENT. PLUS ANY
LOCAL TAXES. BEST OF ALL SORTS
OF SECURITY AND OTHER
REQUIREMENTS IT'S VERY
EXPENSIVE. AND FOR THE BIG
OPERATORS THEY CAN ABSORB THAT.
BUT FOR THE ESPECIALLY THE
SMALL LOCAL OPERATORS WITH A
LOT OF THEM IN SAN FRANCISCO
AND LONG BEACH IN OTHER AREAS
TOO AS WELL. THEY HAVE YOU KNOW
THEY'RE REALLY STRUGGLING TO
SURVIVE AND- WE HAVE AN EQUITY
PROGRAM SO WE HAVE A LOT OF.
FOLKS WE'VE- IT'S BEEN GREAT TO
GET INTO. WHO WHO SUFFERED THE
MOST DURING THE PROHIBITION. ON
CANNABIS SOME. ME IN NOW AND
MAKE SURE THEY CAN- PARTAKE IN
THE LEGAL BUSINESS- AND IT'S
REALLY UNFAIR. WHEN THEY ARE
BEING UNDERMINED. BY THESE
ILLEGAL OPERATIONS AS A LOT OF
THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DO WE
NEED TO DEAL. WITH SOME OF THE-
REGULATORY AND TAX STRUCTURES
AS WELL AS SOME OF THE LOCAL
LAND USE STRUCTURES THAT.
EFFECTIVELY BANNED THESE
BUSINESSES AND MOST OF
CALIFORNIA- BUT THIS IS ONE
APPROACH AND SOME HAPPY. TO
SUPPORT THE BILL. THANK YOU SIR
WE ARE OTHER COMMENTS- THE
LAYERED AND SENT AWAY CAL SKI.
THANK YOU MR. FROM THE I REALLY
APPRECIATE SENATOR WIENER'S
COMMENTS AND I WANT TO ADD ONE
THING AND THE- THERE IS AN
ISSUE GOING ON ARE WE AS A
LEGISLATURE DECIDING WHETHER OR
NOT TO EXTEND THE PROVISIONAL
LICENSES ARE LOCKED AT SUNSET.
AND THEN THERE ARE CERTAIN
COUNTY STATE CAN'T PROCESS ANY
OF THE PERMITS IN ANY EXPEDITED
WAY. AND WE'RE ON THE VERGE OF
KICKING PEOPLE OUT WHEN WE NEED
TO GET THE MAN AND WE NEED TO
ELIMINATE THE BLACK MARKET AND
THERE'S ONE PARTICULAR CASE IN
POINT. WHICH IS MONTEREY COUNTY
WHICH SENATOR CAFIERO AND I
SHARE. AND THERE WAS A
OF SUPERVISORS THAT YOU COULD
ONLY DO THE GROSS AND
GREENHOUSES AND IF YOU HAPPEN
TO BE ONE OF THE- LEGACY
FARMERS IN BIG SUR THAT'VE BEEN
THERE FOREVER. THEY DON'T HAVE
GREENHOUSES THEY CAN'T COME IN
AND THEY'VE JUST MODERATED THIS
REQUIREMENT IN THE LAST FEW
MONTHS AND PEOPLE ARE STARTING
TO STRUGGLE TO GET THEIR
LICENSE BUT- IF WE SUNSET THE
PROVISIONAL IT MIGHT SUNSET THE
ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO COME IN TO
THE LEGAL POINTS THAT WE WANT
THEM ALL TO BE. BANNED SO
ENORMOUS SUPPORT THIS BILL AND
ITIS THE RIGHT DIRECTION
BECAUSE THE REAL QUESTION IS.
IS DO IT PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR
PEOPLE TO BE LEGAL AS OPPOSED
OTHERWISE I THINK WE JUST HAVE
TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE IF WE
DON'T DO OTHER THINGS WERE
PUSHING PEOPLE OUT OF THE
SYSTEM AND THEN PICKING UP IN
FORT SMITH SO- I'M GONNA
SUPPORT THE BILL BUT THERE ARE.
THIS IS A COMPLEX ISSUE WITH
LOTS OF MOVING PARTS RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU SAID EARLIER SO MY
CASKET A MYSTERY BOOK QUESTION
OF THE OPPOSITION EITHER MR
BACCHUS SERMONS HERE BECAUSE-
OF ONE THAT COULD WIN THE
OBJECTIONS WAS. THAT IF YOU
HAVE TO D. A. GOING AFTER THE
CIVIL PENALTIES N. AT LEAST
FROM WHERE I WAS SITTING I
THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS A
HORRIBLE IDEA BECAUSE HE COULD.
PRESSURE PEOPLE INTO TAKING A
COP INTO THIS THREE HUNDRED OR
THIRTY THOUSAND. A DOLLAR
PENALTY BUT NOW THAT'S THAT'S
REMOVED WITH THE AMENDMENTS AS
I UNDERSTAND IT AND YOU HAVE.
COUNTY COUNCIL AND BIG CITY-
CITY ATTORNEYS SO DOESN'T THAT
ALLEVIATE THE CONCERNS ITSELF
RIGHT IN. THEIR OPPOSITION. LET
ME POSE THE QUESTION WITH A
QUESTION POSED THE OPPOSITION
MR BACCHUS OR MACHINE- ARE YOU
AVAILABLE. I DEFINITELY CARE WE
CAN CLIMB BACK IN THANK YOU
SENATOR WHITE COUNTY. THE BILL-
DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO BE ABLE TO
BRING MISDEMEANOR CHARGES AND
CIVIL CHARGES IT PROVIDES FOR
THE CITY ATTORNEY. IN LOS
ANGELES SATURDAY. LET'S JUST GO
IN THE AREA AND THEY PROSECUTE
MISDEMEANORS INCLUDING THE
POSSESSION SALE OR POSSESSION
FOR SALES CANNABIS. AND PENALTY
IS SIX MONTHS IN JAIL. THOUSAND
DOLLAR FINE FOR EACH. AVERAGE
CONNECTION. YOU COULD MAKE A
CHARGE MULTIPLE CHARGES FOR
MISDEMEANOR SALE AND PURSUE THE
CIVIL C. AS WELL SO THAT THE
EXAMPLE OF AGENCY GIVEN THAT
POWER BUT NOT THE
DISTRIBUTARIES OFFICE. I GUESS
THE PROBLEM WAS HE SAID IF YOU
ORIGINALLY THE BILL GAVE THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY THAT POWER SO
THEN I'M I'VE GOT YOU IN COURT
I'M PROSECUTING YOU. EMILY AND
IT IT SEEMS LIKE THESE ONEROUS
FINES WAS AN OVER REACHING BY
SEPARATING THEM. AND GIVING A
DIFFERENT ATTORNEY AN ATTORNEY
CITY ATTORNEY OF SAN JOSE'S
THEN OF THE BIG REPUTATION
ABOUT GOING AFTER PEOPLE BUT
MAYBE IT COULD HAPPEN THIS N.
THAT. LESSEN SOME OF THIS- THE
AGGRESSIVE ACTIVITY SET UP
CONCERN OF. FULL OF COLOR THAT
MAY BE PROSECUTOR MAYBE PUT IN
A BAD SITUATION WHEN THE WHEN
THE DA'S GOT THEM ON A CRIMINAL
CHARGE. MR BACCHUS SECURE
RESPOND. ZURCHER YES GOOD THANK
YOU THANK YOU FOR YOUR OWN BERG.
B. I'M GOING TO TAKE IN THIS
COMMITTEE AND IN THE FEDERAL
JUDICIARY LIMITED THE NUMBER OF
AGENCIES THAT COULD BRING
SIMULTANEOUS CIVIL AND CRIMINAL
ENFORCEMENT. THE BILL STILL
WILL PROVIDE WITH AMENDMENTS
THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY FROM THE
FOUR LARGEST CITIES WOULD BE
ABLE TO PERSON ALL CIVIL
PENALTIES AND CRIMINAL
PENALTIES. THE AMENDMENTS ARE
PART HELPFUL- THERE MAY BE
CONCERN THAT ACTUALLY FOR
CAPITAL THERE ARE MORE. LIKE
CALIFORNIA FOR CITIES ARE
MENTIONED- AND GIVEN HIS POWER
IT'S JUST THAT. BUT THE BILL
DOESN'T HAVE THE ELEMENTS THAT
WILL CREATE MORE LICENSED
STORES INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT
MECHANISM AGAINST ONLINE
CONSTRUCTED STATION DOESN'T
DEFINE HOW SMALLER OPERATION
MIGHT BE THERE'S STILL A DANGER
THAT THIS FINDING STUDENTS
CAN'T IT WILL EVENTUALLY BE
USED AT ALL GOOD PENALTIES HAVE
BEEN. TO PUNISH LOW INCOME
PEOPLE OF COLOR. MR HAVE
ANOTHER QUESTION AT THE
OPPOSITION IT APPEARS TO ME
THAT THE AMENDMENT ANOTHER
AMENDMENT TO SORT OF FOCUS ON
THE OWNER THE OFFICERS THE
MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS. TAKES
AWAY THESE PEOPLE THAT DON'T
HAVE AN EQUITY STAKE JUST A LOW
LEVEL. M. EMPLOYEES AND I GUESS
MY CONCERN WITH THE OPPOSITION
CONTINUING ON WITH THAT IS THAT
THIS AIDING AND ABETTING. ONE
OF THE FACTORS ARE OUTLINED ON
PAGE SEVEN OF OUR STAFF REPORTS
TALKS ABOUT PROVIDING
SUBSTANTIAL ASSISTANCE OR
ENCOURAGEMENT. ARE THEY
CONCERNED THAT- OF JUST A
REGULAR EMPLOYEE COULD BE FIRED
BY THE FACT THAT THEY'RE-
WORKING IS THAT. MEET THAT
THRESHOLD FOR ENCOURAGEMENT%
THAT WOULD WOULD CATCH HIM
UNDER THE NETWORK. IT SEEMS
THAT THE AUTHORS TRYING TO
SEPARATE THE BIG CHEESE FROM
THE SMALL SMALL CHEESE- IS THAT
A CONCERN OF THE OPPOSITION. MR
BACCHUS. YOUR ACCOUNT PLEASE
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION B.
COMMENT HAVE NARROWED THE SCOPE
OF THE BILL IF YOU'RE MANAGING
A STORE WITH TWENTY EMPLOYEES
IT WOULDN'T CAPTURE THE PERSON
WORKING THE COUNTER FOR THE
PERSON- PUSHING A BROOM OR WHAT
SECURITY HOWEVER HERE IN
BEIJING A STOREFRONT ACCOUNTS
TWO OR THREE PEOPLE WHO IS THE
OWNER THE OPERATOR. OF THE
SHAREHOLDERS THE PERSON WITH
THE WITH THE FINANCIAL INTEREST
THERE ARE DEFINITIONS THAT WILL
PROTECT SMALL DRIVES. ARE BEING
CAUGHT UP IN. SIX OF THE TO
PEOPLE FOR. CAROUSEL OUR GOAL
IS TO SEE MORE LEGAL STORES
OPEN SO THAT THE CONSUMERS AND
GO WHERE THAT. PRODUCT IS SAFE
CONVENIENT. AND COMPETITIVELY
PRICED THEM STILL DOESN'T GET
TO THAT GOAL IT ONLY SEEKS TO
CREATE A CUDDLE AND WAS
CONCERNED ABOUT THE
RAMIFICATIONS OF ALSO
REIMBURSING AND CRIMINAL
CHARGES FOR AGENCIES TO GO
AFTER SUPPORTERS. ORDINAL ROSE
FROM UNDERSTANDING THE FOURTH
FACTOR THAT'S SUPPOSED TO
CONSIDER IS WHETHER THE
PERSON'S CONTACT WAS A
SUBSTANTIAL FACTOR IN
FURTHERING THE UNLICENSED
CANNABIS SECTOR ACTIVITY SO
THEN IF YOU HAVE A REALLY
SMALL. FOR PERSON OPERATION AND
TWO OF THEM ARE JUST REGULAR
EMPLOYEES. VERSUS A TWENTY FIVE
PERSON OPERATION AND TWENTY
THREE PEOPLE ARE JUST REGULAR
EMPLOYEES. IS THE IS THE
CONCERN OF THE OPPOSITION THAT
THAT THAT MAY GET THE CITY
ATTORNEY- EVIDENCE THAT THEY
WERE VERY HALF OF THE EMPLOYEES
SAID THEY WOULD BECOME. THEY
WOULD SIGNIFICANT FURTHER THE
ON LICENSING- CANVAS ACTIVITY
VERSUS THE PERSON WORKS FOR A
BIGGER FIRM WOULDN'T BE.
CAPTURED IS TAT BECAUSE THAT'S
THAT'S CORRECTABLE LIGHTING.
IT'S THE I DON'T THINK THAT'S
WHAT THE WHAT THE THIRD. YES
MISS PARKER'S RESPONSE. DON'T
OF THAT WAS AVAILABLE TO AND
ANY ACTIVE SHOOTER OKAY SO YOU
AS WELL. THERE'S NO DEFINITION
THE BILL ON THE SIDE THE
OPERATION ON THE AMOUNT OF
MONEY TRADERS. SO I THINK A LOT
OF GOING DOWN TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS ABOUT PEOPLE WHO
SIMPLY ARE ARE WORKING IN A
STORE THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT
KNOW WHICH PHONE LICENSE BUT
THEY'RE STILL- WHICH ROOM FOR.
FORD BECAUSE WE'LL BE USING
EXACTLY THE POINT OF THE
BUILDERS TO INCENTIVIZE MORE.
PUNISHMENT INCENTIVIZE MORE
ENFORCEMENT BY MAKING THE
FLYING SIZEABLE AND PROVIDING
FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO THE- THAT
BRINGS THE ACTION. SO THAT IS
THE PURPOSE IS TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF ENFORCEMENT AND WE'RE
CONCERNED THAT IT WILL GET EVEN
SMALL OPERATORS ARE SMALL- LOW
INCOME PEOPLE COLOR MIDDLE
INCOME PEOPLE OF COLOR. IT
CANNOT BE EDUCATED AND IT'S NOT
THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE GOAL
BUT THE BILL IS WRITTEN HOUSE
ADDRESS. I'M SORRY THANK YOU
SEMI KELSEY'S AT RESPOND YOUR
QUESTIONS YEAH I'M RIGHT. MR
I'M STILL A LITTLE NERVOUS I
THINK I'M GOING TO. FIVE
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY I AM I
WAS IN. A SORT OF HANG ON THAT
ARE ON THE FENCE BUT I THINK-
I'LL DO SOME MORE STUDY OF THIS
BUT I THINK THEY'LL GIVE THE
AUTHOR. A CHANCE TO MOVE
FORWARD TO THE NEXT LEVEL. ALL
RIGHT. OTHER QUESTIONS CONCERNS
OF WAS OUR MOTION IS THERE A
MOTION MOVED BY SENATOR CAFIERO
DO YOU CARE TO CLOSE- IN BEFORE
YOU CLOSE THE SEVEN MEMBER
RUBIO- YOU HAVE BEEN- QUITE
DILIGENT IN. YOUR EFFORTS ON
THIS BILL AND AS YOU CAN SEE
THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS CAN SEE
YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY OF THE
BILLS COME A LONG WAY SINCE IT
FIRST ARRIVED THIS COMMITTEE.
AND I THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR
DEDICATION TO THE BILL AS WELL
AS TO YOUR- FLEXIBILITY TO
ACCOMMODATE THE CONCERNS OF
VARIOUS STAKE HOLDERS ALL RIGHT
YOU CAN CLOSE THANK YOU KNOW I
JUST APPRECIATE THE COMMENT
FROM THE CONVERSATION. AND THE
JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR ABOUT THE
INTENT OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD LIKE
TO INCREASE AND I CANNOT TELL
YOU HOW MANY AGENCIES I GOT
CALLS FROM. OUR STORE THAT SAID
HE HELP US GET MORE MORE
LICENSES AND UNFORTUNATELY
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO
BE ADDRESSED AT A- I GOT
SEPARATED- BILL OR A PACKAGE OF
BILLS BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT
OF CHALLENGES WITHIN THE
CANNABIS INDUSTRY AND THE- THE
LACK OF. LICENSES FOR FOLKS
THAT ARE WILLING TO DO THE
RIGHT THING- IS NOT AVAILABLE
AND I WISH WE COULD ADDRESS
THAT WITH THIS BUT WE CAN'T
HELP WITH THE OTHER CONCERN
THAT I HAD THE MAJOR CONCERN
WAS THAT. SOME OF THIS ILLEGAL
OF FACILITIES ARE PROVIDING TO
THE SAME BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE
THEY'RE PROVIDING CANNABIS THAT
HAS NOT BEEN TESTED BY THE
STATE. THEREFORE PUTTING HIM IN
DANGER OF YOU KNOW WHO KNOWS
WHAT IS IN THOSE- WHEN THEY
SELL THOUGH THAT THAT TOP
PRODUCT. AND SO I APPRECIATE
THE CALL CERN'S FROM. FROM THE
OPPOSITION. BUT THAT'S WHY I
WAS ABLE TO WORK WITH THE
COMMITTEE TO MAKE SURE THAT.
YOU KNEW THAT MY INTENT IS NOT
TO PENALIZE BUT TO PROTECT THE
CONSUMERS AND ALSO. DO THE MAKE
OME HEADWAY SO THAT WE CAN
MOVE TO THE BUT TO MOVE FORWARD
AND REALLY ADDRESS THE ISSUES
OF MORE LICENSES. AND EQUITY
WITHIN THOSE LICENSES SO AGAIN
I JUST WANTED TO THANK YOU AND
THE COMMITTEE FOR. FOR GIVING
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY
WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES AND
UNFORTUNATELY I THINK THAT THE
OPPOSITION IS. YOU KNOW I CAN
I'VE DONE ALL THAT I COULD- TO
MAKE SURE THAT I ADDRESS THE
ISSUES OF THE COMMITTEE. AND
TRY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE IS FAR
FROM THE OPPOSITION BUT IT
SEEMS LIKE. THAT I'M NOT
GETTING NO MATTER WHAT I DO-
THE FACT IS THAT THE BILL IS
NOT WHAT THE WHAT THE
OPPOSITION WANTS AND I
APPRECIATE. THEIR ADVOCACY BUT
AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO
ADVOCATE FOR THE COMMUNITIES

BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER STONE THIS IS
THE LAST AUTHOR. SENT TODAY-
THANK YOU SSEMBLYMEMBER STONE
AND I KNOW YOU'VE WORKED VERY
HARD WITH STAKEHOLDERS ON THIS
BILL THE OPPOSITION TO MAKE IT
FAIR AND MEASURED- TAKING MA'AM
IT'S BOTH FROM THE COMMITTEE.
AND IN THE COMMITTED TODAY TO
ADDRESS CONCERNS THE CALIFORNIA-BANKERS ASSOCIATION THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
COLLECTORS. THEY ARE STILL BOTH
IN OPPOSITION BUT I KNOW YOU
WORKED DILIGENTLY TO SEE IF YOU
CAN'T RESOLVE SOME OF THEIR
CONCERNS AT LEAST. AND I
UNDERSTAND THE CONVERSATIONS
ARE CONTINUING I SUPPOSE I WANT
TO CONFIRM THAT AND THAT YOU
AND YOUR STAFF ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO DO SO. THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN SENATORS YES WE ARE IN
FACT THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
THAT I'M ACCEPTING TODAY THANK
YOU THANKS FOR THE- THE GOOD
ANALYSIS OF THIS BILL. ARE IN
FURTHERANCE OF TRYING TO WORK
WITH THE ISSUES. SO WHAT THIS
BILL DOES WHAT WHAT HAPPENS
WITH A LOT OF THIS IS ONLY. FOR
PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENT LOANS.
MOST THESE. THESE WHO TAKE
THESE LONG IN THEN IF THEY HAVE
RUN INTO. WITH THE LOAN. WE'LL
GET A NOTICE OR MAY EVEN A CASE
AGAINST HIM IN COURT. N. OR
MOSTLY. NOT EVEN REPRESENT BY
pKEN. AND WHAT HAVE IS THEY'LL
MISS. OR NOT UNDERSTAND THE
IMPACT OF WHAT THEY'RE GETTING
INTO COURT DOCUMENTS. IN THE
SERVICES OF THESE LOANS AND
THEN WE'LL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THAT AND IT'S LIKE A- LIKE A
MIDDLE OF THE DAY JUST RUN
THROUGH THESE LAWSUITS. THAT'S
A LOT OF DEFAULT JUDGMENTS THAT
GET ENTERED IN AND ONE THAT IT
FILTERS AND GET CENTERED. AND
DEFECTS IN WHAT LED TO THAT
JUDGMENT OR NOT EXPLORE UNLESS
AN ATTORNEY IS HIRED AND
THERE'S A LOT OF PROCESS TO GO
THROUGH SO ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR
IN THIS BILL REALLY. IS
INCREASING THE EVIDENTIARY
STANDARD SO THAT IN THESE CASES
ARE PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS IF
THEY WANT TO BRING A CASE
AGAINST. A BAR WHERE THEY HAVE
TO PROVE AND SHOW THAT THEY OWN
THE LOAN. THAT THEY PROVIDE A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
DOCUMENTATION. TO BE ABLE TO
ESTABLISH THAT FOR THE QUARTER
BEFORE THE COURT ENTERS A FULL
TOUCH MEANT. THAT IT IS THE
PROPER. ACTION AND WHAT SOME OF
THE ATTORNEYS WHO HAVE BEEN
FIGHTING THIS HAVE FOUND. WHEN
SOMEBODY COMES TO THEM AND SAYS
I'M IN REAL TROUBLE NOW. AND I
NEED YOUR HELP IS THEY WILL
FIND SIGNIFICANT DEFECTS IN THE
ORIGINAL FILINGS. AND
OFTENTIMES THE SERVICER OR THE
PARTY WITH A DEFAULT JUDGMENT
CAN'T EVEN ESTABLISH THAT THEY
HAVE THE RIGHT. TO GET THAT
DEFAULT JUDGMENT THAT THEY HAVE
THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
THESE ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT
ISSUES ALL WE'RE DOING. IS
ENSURING THAT THERE'S AN
APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF
DOCUMENTATION AND EVIDENCE
BEING BROUGHT TO THE COURT. IF
THAT KIND OF A PROCESS IS GOING
TO BE ENTERED INTO. THAT WE
HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
COLLECTORS THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON THE BANKERS BECAUSE
WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO. IS
TO. PREJUDICE LEGITIMATE
COLLECTION ACTIONS BUT WE WANT
TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S ENOUGH
PROCESS AROUND. THESE PRIVATE
STUDENT LOAN IN THE COLLECTION
ACTIONS THAT HAPPEN. THAT WE
CAN PROTECT THOSE CONSUMERS.
AND THAT THE JUDGMENTS THAT
HAPPEN OR THE CORRECT
JUDGEMENTS THAT'S REALLY WHAT
THIS BILL IS ABOUT YES WE'RE
WORKING. WITH THE OPPOSITION
WE'VE GOT WE'RE TRYING TO. HOME
TO SOME SOME OF THE BIT BETTER
AGREEMENT I THINK WERE MOSTLY
THERE WAS SOME OF THESE SO.
WITH THE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE
WE OFFER ABSOLUTELY CAN. KEEP
TALKING TO THE COMMITTEE ABOUT
SOME OF THESE EVENTS. IT N. TO
BE ABLE TO SATISFY SOME OF THE
CONCERNS HERE SO THAT THERE ARE
LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS CAN GO
FORWARD AND THE THIS SORT OF
FACTORY OF LAWSUITS REALLY GETS
ADDRESSED IN A MORE APPROPRIATE
WAY. SO WITH ME I HAVE MY
COMPUTER FROM THE STUDENT
BORROWER PROTECTION CENTER AND
CARAMEL GREW FROM THE LEGAL AID
FOUNDATION OF LOS ANGELES
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT AND THEY
REALLY DESCRIBE THE LANDSCAPE
THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH VERY
WELL. AND THE PROBLEM THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE SO WITH
THAT I ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS.
THANK YOU SIMPLY MEMBER STONE-
MR PEERS SO YOU BILLABLE. YES
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TEST THE BY DAY
AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A REALLY
LONG AFTERNOON FOR EVERYBODY
SO- YOU NEED TO KEEP. MOVING I
CERTAINLY WON'T PRESCRIBE BUILT
UP AGAIN TODAY I THINK THAT
JUST DON'T GET THE GREAT JOB-
BUT- THANK YOU SHARE THANK YOU
BYE. THANK YOU MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE- MY NAME IS MIKE
PIERCE ON THE POLICY RECORD
STUDENTS ARE PROTECTED THERE.
WERE NATIONAL NONPROFIT
COMMITTED TO ENDING THE STUDENT
DEBT CRISIS- AND WE'RE ALSO
SPONSORING A SUPPORTER OF
EIGHTY FOUR TWENTY FOUR. I DO
WANT TO GIVE A- SPECIFIC
EXAMPLE ABOUT WHY EIGHTY FOUR
TWENTY FOUR IS NECESSARY.
BEFORE I CO FOUNDED THE STUDENT
BAR PROTECTION CENTER I SPENT
SEVEN YEARS AS AN ATTORNEY AT
THE FEDERAL CONSUMER FINANCIAL
PROTECTION BUREAU. WE BROUGHT
IN FORCE NOW ACTUALLY GET THE
BIGGEST ABUSER OF CALIFORNIA
COURTS. THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE
STUDENT LOAN TRUSTS. NPSL P.
ALONG WITH BIG OUT OF STATE
NONBANK CREDITORS LIKE NAPPING
IN. A FILE THOUSANDS OF
WASHINGTON. CALIFORNIA FOR THE
PAST FIVE YEARS. THE LANDMARK
LAW AGAIN ANTI. P. THE BUREAU
FOUND THE TRUCK. FULL
AFFIDAVITS AND THE COURT. AND
WHACKED OUT. TO BACK UP THE
DEBT DOWN CASES. THE LAWSUIT
MILK BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACT.
BY RECENT RESEARCH BY OUR
PARTNERS AT THE UC IRVINE
CONSUMER LAW CONNECTIONS IN
ACTIONS BROUGHT BY NCLT. AND
ITS PEERS FULLY 90% OF CASES-
IF. 90% OF CASES. FARMERS LACK
LEGAL COUNSEL. THESE TWO WHICH
ISN'T. THE LACK OF THE OKAY.
AND YOU USED TO HELP COURTS
CREATE AN UNMITIGATED DISASTER
FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE
BORROWERS. TOO MANY YOU CAN
DISCOVER AFTER THE FACT THAT
THE REGIONAL PARTNERS FOR DEATH
THE GREETER AND DOCUMENTED READ
OUT. I UNDERSTAND THE
CALIFORNIA BANKERS THE
CALIFORNIA CREDIT UNION HERE
TODAY- JUST AS THAT YOU NOTED
MISTER CHAIR. DON'T KNOW THAT.
YOU'RE NOT POSITION BUT I ALSO
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE'RE
ENGAGED IN A CONSTRUCTIVE
DIALOGUE AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
THOSE CORRECTED DISCUSSIONS.
ALONG WITH OUR CONVERSATION
WITH THE COLLECTORS AFTER THAT
AND I WANT TO CONCLUDE BY
EMPHASIZING THAT THE MAJOR
DRIVERS OF THE PIECES ARE NOT
CALIFORNIA BANKS AND THEY'RE
NOT CALIFORNIA CREDIT. I
THOUGHT HE WAS NOT BACK AT ALL
BUT THE LOAN STOCKED INTO THESE
TRUCKS WERE MADE BY THE BIGGEST
BANKS IN THE WORLD. ORGAN CHASE
BANK OF AMERICA AND YOU EXPECT.
THE BANK MADE SUBPRIME STUDENT
LOANS WERE PASSED ON TO
INVESTORS BARBER STRUGGLE TO
REPAY IN DECADES LATER THESE
CASES CONTINUE TO CLOG
CALIFORNIA COURTS AND HURT
CALIFORNIA. BUT THE BOXES FOR
ME I A LEGACY OF PREDATORY
LENDING BY OUT OF STATE AND
NATIONAL BANKS FORTUNATELY

TWO PIECES JUST AS MR
SOUNDTRACKED WE STRONGLY

OPPOSITION MR CLIFF BURGER YOU
AVAILABLE. THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN CLOSE BERG HERE WITH
GOVERNMENTAL ADVOCATES
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF COLLECTORS WE
ARE OPPOSED AB FOUR TO FOUR AT
THIS POINT- TWO MAJOR AREAS OF
CONCERN THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
BRING TO THE COMMITTEE'S
ATTENTION- EIGHTY FOUR TO FOUR
IS REALLY ONE OF THREE BILLS
THIS YEAR. THAT SEEK TO EXTEND
PROVISIONS OF THE FAIR DEBT
BUYERS ACT- TO COLLECTION
AGENCIES AND YOUR CREDITORS-
THAT ACT PROVIDES A UNIFORM
REGULATORY SCHEME OF
DOCUMENTATION NOTICE FOR DEBT
BUYERS- EXTENDING INTO DEBT
COLLECTORS IT IS CERTAINLY-
DOABLE AND- WE'RE NOT OPPOSED
TO DOING THAT HOWEVER WE HAVE
THREE DIFFERENT BILLS ONE
STUDENT DEBT HERE ONE ON
MEDICAL DEBT BY- SOMEONE WHO'D
FRIEDMAN. AND OTHER BILLING
GENERAL CONSUMER DEBT ACROSS
THE BOARD THE SENATE BILL WENT
THROUGH THIS COMEDIAN IS IN THE
ASSEMBLY I BELIEVE WAS UP THIS
MORNING- YEAH WE'VE BEEN ABLE
TO WORK OUT ALL THOSE CONCERNS
WITH THE OTHER TWO BILLS WE ARE
MAKING PROGRESS WE WOULD LIKE
IT TO GET IT STANDARDIZED
NOTICE AND DOCUMENTATION AS
POSSIBLE RATHER THAN HAVING.
CONFLICTING REGULATORY SCHEMES
US DOCUMENTATION AND NOTICE WE
ARE MAKING PROGRESS WITH MR
STONE WE HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH
HIS STAFF AND THE BILL'S
SPONSORS AND WE WILL CONTINUE
TO DO THAT. WE. THINK IT IS
THAT THAT IS DOABLE. ASSUR TRY
TO GET THE STANDARD THESE KINDS
OF DOCUMENTS THREE REQUIREMENTS
THE NOTICE REQUIREMENTS.
CONCERN THAT I WANT TO BRING TO
THE COMMITTEE'S ATTENTION IS
THE- PENALTY PROVISIONS OF THIS
BILL ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT A
PROVISION THAT HAS A PER
VIOLATION- STRICT LIABILITY
STANDARD- GENERALLY WAS
REQUIRED ABILITY IT'S PER
ACTION. AND THIS BILL IS
EXTENDING AN EXCELLENT
DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS FROM
THE WINDOW BUILDING CERTIFIERS
ACT- THAT WAS PER ACTION NOT
PER VIOLATION I WOULD LIKE TO
BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION ALSO
THAT. THIS COMMITTEE AND THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED LAST YEAR SB
NINE AWAIT JUST ABOLITION IS
ALL LICENSING OF DEBT BUYERS
DEBT COLLECTORS AND- COLLECTION
ATTORNEYS BY THE NEW DEPARTMENT
OF THE FBI WHICH PROVIDES A
GREATER FORCE MAGNETIC
MECHANISM WHAT WE'VE BEEN TOLD
IS. THAT THERE ARE BAD ACTORS
OUT THERE AND NONE OF WHOM ARE
MEMBERS WHO NEED INSURANCE TERM
BAD ACTIVITY I THINK IF THE
AUTHOR IN HIS STAFF LOOKS AT
THE- NEW LICENSING LAW IN THE
IN THE POWERS THAT HAVE BEEN
GIVEN TO THE DEPARTMENT.
THERE'S REALLY A PRETTY
STRAIGHTFORWARD PATH TO GETTING
THE BAD ACTORS WHICH IS TAKING
AWAY THEIR LICENSE FOR A DEBT
COLLECTION IN CALIFORNIA SO
ANYWAY WE APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF OUR CONCERNS
AND LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR. AND
HIS STAFF ON THE SPONSORED ON
THIS THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER BERG ALL RIGHT OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION I SEE NO ONE IN THE

SENATOR ROB WILSON WITH THE

I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHORS
SPONSORS AND STAFF FOR THE
CONVERSATION LOOK FOR THEM ON

A POST ABOUT THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. AT THIS TIME THERE'S NO
ONE ELSE IN Q. ALL RIGHT- SEE
NO ONE ELSE WHO WISHES TO
COMMENT. ADULT CENTER WACO SKI
YES THERE WERE KELSEY. MISTER
CHAIR I WOULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT
THAT THIS BILL IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE SURE
THAT THE STANDARD OF PROOF. FOR
THE EVIDENCE FREE PROOF MUST BE
HIGHER WHEN AS- PLAYERS GO INTO
CALIFORNIA COURTS TO GET
JUDGMENTS AGAINST CALIFORNIANS
TO COLLECT ON THE DEBT. AND I
WOULD ARGUE THAT ANY DEFECT IN
THE PLEADINGS ARE SOME I OR T.
THAT'S NOT CROSS SHOULD. SHOULD
R. STAHL THE JUDGMENT AGAINST
CREEK CALIFORNIA DEBTORS AND
THE REASON IS AND SHE IT'S
ILLOGICAL BUT- BUT THE FEDERAL
LAW MAKES A DISTINCTION BETWEEN
STUDENT AT AND ALL OTHER DEBT.
AND IT'S A FREAK OF OUR LEGAL
SYSTEM THAT THAT HAPPENS BUT IN
TWO THOUSAND FIVE. PRIVATE
STUDENT LOAN DEBT WAS THIS
CHARGEABLE IN BANKRUPTCY SO
THERE WAS A BALANCE THAT WENT
ON BETWEEN THE AGGRESSIVE.
COLLECTION IN A DEBTOR'S
ABILITY TO PLAY AND BY SOME BAD
TOOTH. STROKE OF LUCK NOW
STUDENT PRIVATE STUDENT LOANS
IS NOT THIS CHARGE WILL END IN
BANKRUPTCY COURT BUT A MEDICAL
DEBT IS A CREDIT CARD DEBT IS
AND ALL THESE OTHER TICKETS TO
WIN SO WHEN THE ACTIVITIES
GOING ON IN CALIFORNIA COURTS
TO COLLECT THESE DEBTS AGAINST.
OUR CONSUMERS WE CAN TALK ABOUT
THE RISING COSTS OF STUDENT
LOANS BUT THEY THEY HAVE NO
OTHER BACKDROP EXCEPT FOR THIS
LONG FOR THIS VERSION OF AB OF
FOUR TO FOUR TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYTHING IS CORRECT BECAUSE
THAT. IS NOT LIKE THE OTHER DID
YOU HAVE IT FOREVER SO I THINK
WE HAVE A DUTY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THIS EVIDENCE YOU STAND

COULD BE N. N. IT'S CAREFULLY

UNDERSTAND THAT CENTER BOARD
THIS IS ANOTHER COMMITTEE BUT
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ONE LAST
MEASURE THAT'S ITEM NUMBER
THIRTY TWO AG ARE TWELVE THAT
WAS ORIGINALLY ON CONSENT IS NO
LONGER ON CONSENT. SO REMEMBER
STONE YOU COULD PROCEED. THANK
YOU. MR CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
AND ENSURE TWELVE SO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO MEXICANAS
TOOK SOME ACTION TO PROTECT THE
GI BILL. AND THEN. IT WAS VERY
WELL CONSIDERED AND IT WAS AN
APPROPRIATE STEP. BUT WHAT THEY
MISSED WAS THEY WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE GI FUNDS FOR
EDUCATION ONLY GO TO ABA
ACCREDITED LAW SCHOOLS. AND
WHAT THEY DID NOT REALIZE IS
THAT CALIFORNIA HAS A VERY HIGH
STANDARD FOR CALIFORNIA
ACCREDITED LAW SCHOOLS. IN FACT
A LOT OF CALIFORNIA CREDIT LAW
SCHOOLS THESE ARE NONPROFITS IN
OUR COMMUNITIES. WE WERE VERY
VIABLE OPTIONS FOR. ATTORNEYS
IN AS WE HAVE IS BOTH OF OUR
COMMITTEES HAVE BEEN WORKING
VERY HARD. TO PROVIDE DIVERSITY
IN THE LEGAL PROFESSION AT THE
BENCH AT THE BAR. AND THROUGH
THE SCHOOLS THESE. CALIFORNIA
ACCREDITED LAW SCHOOLS FILL
THAT FUNCTION AND THE BAR PASS
RATE IN MOST OF THE SCHOOLS IS
HIGHER THAN MANY. NATIONAL ABA
ACCREDITED SCHOOLS SO WE THINK
IT WAS A MISTAKE OR A LACK OF
UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF
CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED LAW
SCHOOLS. THAT LED TO THE
DECISION TO PRECLUDE THEIR
ABILITY TO HAVE THEIR STUDENTS.
BE FUNDED BY THE GI BILL SO
THIS RESOLUTION IS JUST SAYING
CONGRESS HEY. TAKE A LOOK AT
CALIFORNIA A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY I UNDERSTAND THE
VALUE OF OUR CALIFORNIA
ACCREDITED. LAW SCHOOLS THESE
ARE NOT. THE DIPLOMA THESE ARE
NOT THESE FOR PROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS THAT TAKE
PEOPLE'S MONEY PROVIDED
SUBSTANDARD EDUCATION. AND THEN
THEY CAN'T PASS THE BAR THE
CAMP PRACTICE THAT IS
COMPLETELY WRONG WHEN IT COMES
TO THESE LAW SCHOOLS THIS IS
JUST A NATURE ENCOURAGING
CONGRESS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE
SITUATION. AND THINK ABOUT

PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS
PRESIDENT AND DEAN OF MONTEREY
COLLEGE OF LAW A NONPROFIT
CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED LAW
SCHOOL THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY
SERVED OUR LOCAL VETERANS UNDER
THE GI BILL FOR MORE TAN FORTY
YEARS I SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF A
J. R. TWELVE BECAUSE FOR
DECADES STATE ACCREDITED LAW
SCHOOLS LIKE MINE ARE COLLEGE
OF LAW HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SERVE
VETERANS UNDER THE PROTECTION
OF THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME
COURT. THE STATE BAR OF
CALIFORNIA THE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS CODE
VETERANS ADMINISTRATION PALS AT
AND STATE OTHERS HAVE RECENTLY
ARGUED THAT CALIFORNIA VETERANS
WOULD NOW BE BETTER SERVED BY
REJECTING THE STATE PROTECTION
AND DENYING CALIFORNIA VETERANS
THEIR RIGHT TO USE THEIR EARNED
GI BENEFITS ON A CALIFORNIA LAW
SCHOOL OF THEIR CHOICE THIS
ARGUMENT IGNORES THESE DECADES
OF VETERANS SUCCESSFULLY
ATTENDING CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED
LAW SCHOOLS UNDER THE GI BILL
AND IN FACT- NEEDED THE
CONGRESSIONAL RECORD NOR THE
RECORD SUPPORTING H. A R.
TWELVE PROVIDES ANY EVIDENCE OF
COMPLAINTS FILED. BY VETERANS
USING THE GI BILL TO ATTEND A
CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED LAW
SCHOOL I WILL CONCLUDE BY
EMPHASIZING THAT IT IS
INCORRECT A. J. R. TWELVE
REPRESENTS AN EFFORT TO UNDO
THE GI BILL PROTECTION ACT
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM
THE TRUTH CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED

CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED LAW

YEARS OF SERVICE. TODAY TODAY
WE HAVE. YET TO FIND A SINGLE
ACTION THAT HAS BEEN NEGATIVELY
IMPACTED BY CAL. OFTENTIMES IN
VETERANS RETURN TO CALIFORNIA
AFTER THE CLAIM SERVICE. THEY

ABOUT ASSEMBLY JOINT RESOLUTION
NUMBER TWELVE AND WISH TO
REGISTER THE STRONG OPPOSITION
OF MANY VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS
NEARLY TWENTY MORE THAN FORTY I
HAVE WORKED WITH CONGRESS TO
ACT TO PROTECT THE GI BILL ACT
WHICH ENSURES VETERANS HAVE
ACCESS TO EDUCATION RESPECTED
NATIONWIDE IN TWO THOUSAND SIX
I JOINED THE MARINE CORPS THE
STEP THAT LANDED ME A RECRUIT
DEPOT SAN DIEGO BENNETT CAMP
PENDLETON THE TRAINING WAS
EXPECTEDLY ARDUOUS BUT I GREW
FOND OF THE BEAUTY AND THE
OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE IN
CALIFORNIA. TODAY I SERVE AN
ORGANIZATION CALLED VETERANS
EDUCATION SUCCESS AND I LIVE IN
WORK IN VIRGINIA WITH MY FAMILY
IN AN ECONOMY THAT SWITCHES ON
A DIME THE MOBILITY OF PATRONS
AND OUR FAMILIES IS PARAMOUNT
THE PROTECTED YEAH THE LACK IN
ITS ENTIRETY ENSURES THAT THE
GI BILL BENEFITS LEAD TO A
DEGREE TO HAVE MOBILITY THE JOB
MARKET THIS IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT FOR THE MILITARY
FAMILIES WHO FREQUENTLY
RELOCATE ACROSS STATE LINES APR
TWELFTH IS A RESOLUTION TO
PROTECT THE LAW SCHOOLS OTHER
STATES U. S. UNACCREDITED IT IS
NOT A RESOLUTION TO PROTECT THE
INTERESTS OF THAT ORANGE. THESE
ARE NOT INSTITUTIONS ACCREDITED
BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED
ACCREDITOR AND THEIR NUMBERS
TELL YOU THAT ALL YOU NEED TO
KNOW OVER 25% HAVE BEEN PLACED
ON PROBATION THROUGH JULY
TWENTY TWENTY TWO DUE TO A NON
COMPLIANT MINIMUM PASSAGE RATE
OR HAVE LOST ACCREDITATION
ENTIRELY NONE OF THE SCHOOLS
MET THE MINIMUM AMERICAN BAR
ASSOCIATION PASS RATE OF
SEVENTY PART 35% THIS PAST
YEAR. AND ONE FINAL EXAMPLE THE
UNIVERSITY WEST LOS ANGELES
ACCORDING TO THE STATE PARK
PUBLISHED EXAM STATISTICS UW LA
AS THEY REPORTED BAR PASSAGE
RATE OF JUST 9% IS THIS THE
KIND OF QUALITY THAT WE EXPECT
FOR VETERANS I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST THAT YOU STAND WITH
VETERANS ORGANIZATIONS
NATIONWIDE NOT WITH THE LAW
SCHOOLS PROTECTING WHAT AGREE
DOT COM IS ONE OF THEIR OWN
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION THANK YOU AND I
MISSPOKE OBVIOUSLY. THERE WAS
SOMEONE IN OPPOSITION I THINK
THE THAT MISTER HUBBARD. IT
THAT YES THERE ARE RIGHT THANK
YOU JUST TO IDENTIFY YOU SIDE
YOU ALL RIGHT OTHERS IT UP
ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION
SAYING NO ONE IN THE GALLERY
KNOWN ROOM ONE TWELVE- ON THE
PHONE LINE OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.
IF YOU LIKE TO COME IN
OPPOSITION YOU MAY PRESS ONE
THEN ZERO AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE
NO ONE IN Q. ALL RIGHT I SEE
CENTER BARDS MICROPHONES RAISE
CENTER BOARD JUST. THANK YOU
CHAIR. I'D LIKE TO EXTEND-
APPRECIATION TO ASSEMBLYMEMBER
STONE- FOR AUTHORING A J. R.
TWELVE. I THINK THE INDIVIDUAL
THAT SPOKE A MOMENT AGO AND I
HAD OCCASION TO READ AN EMAIL
THAT HE SENT OUT- HAS BEEN VERY
SELECTIVE IN FRANKLY
DISINGENUOUS. ABOUT THE MOTIVES
IN REPRESENTATIONS ON THE VALUE
THE CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED LAW
SCHOOLS HAVE TO OUR MILITARY
COMMUNITY. MANY OF YOU KNOW
THAT FOLKS IN THE MILITARY.
FOUR OUT OF THE MILITARY I HAVE
TO RESIDE. IN PLACES WHERE
THERE MAY NOT BE AN ABA
ACCREDITED LAW SCHOOL. AND I
JUST TALK ABOUT MONTEREY OR
FRESNO OR A LOT OF THESE OTHER
PLACES ESPECIALLY RURAL
COMMUNITIES WHERE THAT LEGAL
EDUCATION CAN ONLY BE GOTTEN-
BY THE CALIFORNIA ACCREDITED-
ALL INSTITUTIONS IN THE AREA.
SO FOR THIS INDIVIDUAL AND
OTHERS TO CHALLENGE- WHETHER OR
NOT MILITARY FOLKS SHOULD BE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE OUR GI
BENEFITS TO BE ABLE TO GO TO
SCHOOL IN THESE CALIFORNIA
CREDITS- SCHOOLS. I THINK IS
PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE LET'S TAKE-
SOME OF THE METRICS THAT WERE
IDENTIFIED EARLIER 75% BAR
PASSAGE RATE WAS REPRESENTED AS
THE MINIMUM WELL WITH THIS
AUTHOR ON OR THIS OPPONENT
FAILED TO MENTION THAT'S ON A
TWO YEAR ROLLING AVERAGE. AND
EVEN SOME ABA ACCREDITED
SCHOOLS DON'T HIT THAT NUMBER.
AND SO I THINK THIS INDIVIDUAL
IS CATEGORIZING ALL CALIFORNIA
ACCREDITED SCHOOLS IN THE LAW
WHO IS A- LAW DEGREE DOT COM
SITUATION I THINK THAT'S WHAT
HE WAS SAYING. BUT THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF FINE INSTITUTIONS
THAT PROVIDE A SERVICE TO FOLKS
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE- HAVING GONE
INTO THE MILITARY OR RETIRED
FROM IT. AND IF ANYBODY CARES
ABOUT PROVIDING LEGAL EDUCATION
TO FOLKS IN- LESS POPULATED
AREAS- OF RURAL AREAS. THAN
THEY KNOW THE VALUE THAT THESE
THESE THESE SCHOOLS PROVIDE LET
THE INDIVIDUAL MAKE THE
DECISION ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY
WANT TO GO TO A SCHOOL THAT
WILL BE RECOGNIZED. IN ANOTHER
STATE BUT FOR THOSE THAT KNOW
THEY WANT TO PRACTICE AND LIVE
IN CALIFORNIA THAT SHOULD BE
THEIR DECISION SO WE'RE
HONORING THE MILITARY IN THEIR
SERVICE- THROUGH THE GI BILL
AND THE FUNDING THAT GOES ALONG
WITH THAT. THESE INDIVIDUALS
SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITYAND- BE
ABLE TO WORK PURSUE THAT LEGAL
EDUCATION IN THEIR OWN RIGHT SO
I WAS FULLY SUPPORT THIS BILL
AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
FORWARD AND HOPEFULLY OUR
FEDERAL COUNTERPARTS. WE'LL
LOOK UPON THE MERITS OF THE OF
THIS POSITION INTO CALIFORNIA
SERIOUSLY ON HOW MUCH WE
APPRECIATE. OF THE SERVICE IN
THE EDUCATION IS PROVIDED SO
SIR BOARD JUST MOVES A BILL-
ALL RIGHT OTHER DISCUSSIONS A
SINGLE MICROPHONES RAISE- I I'M
SORRY SIR WE'RE JUST MOVE THE
RESOLUTION- MAN CHIEF COUNSEL
IF YOU WOULD CALL THE ROLL- I'M
SORRY WOULD LIKE CLOSE. NOT TO
BELABOR THE POINT THANK YOU
SENATOR FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
LOOKING AT THE CORRESPONDENCE
THERE'S A REAL LACK OF
UNDERSTANDING THERE A LOT OF
TALK ABOUT. THE SCHOOLS THAT
FAIL TO GET A VISA CREDIT ATION
AND ASSUMING THAT THAT MEANS
THAT THEY BECOME CALIFORNIA
CREDITED NOT CASE AT ALL. THESE
ARE SCHOOLS THAT ARE CHOOSING
CALIFORNIA ACCREDITATION NOT
FAILING AT ABA ACCREDITATION.
THERE'S A REAL DISCONNECT
THERE. THAT'S THE POINT WE'RE
TRYING TO MAKE. THESE ARE HIGH
QUALITY SCHOOLS MANY OF WHOM
HAVE A HIGHER BAR PASS RATE.
THAN SOME ABA ACCREDITED
SCHOOLS. IN OTHER STATES SO.
THERE'S A DISCONNECT AND A LACK
OF INFORMATION WE'RE TRYING TO
FILL IN THE LACK OF INFORMATION
WITH THIS RESOLUTION ON ADS FOR
