MORNING, SENATOR PORTANTINO
WON'T WHY DON'T YOU TELL US
ABOUT CHN? THANK YOU, MR CHAIR
AND MEMBERS COLLEAGUES. TODAY
I'M HERE TO PROUDLY PRESENT
SENATE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
10 ON BEHALF OF SENATE PROTHOM
ATKINS AND A COALITION OF
LEGISLATORS AND I AM PROUD TO BE
A PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR. OF
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 10.
FRANKLY WE'RE ON THE BRINK OF A
U. S SUPREME COURT DECISION THAT
WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE
WILL TOPPLE ROE V. WADE AND
ERODE THE RIGHT TO ABORTION THAT
WAS SECURED NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO.
ALTERING REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IN
AMERICA AS WE KNOW IT IN
CALIFORNIA. WE CANNOT STAND BY
AS A WOMAN AND FAMILIES ARE LEFT
VULNERABLE AS OUR HIGHEST COURT
MOVES TO STRIP AWAY OUR RIGHT
AND PUT COUNTLESS PEOPLE IN
HARM'S WAY. FRANKLY, IT'S.
UNIMAGINABLE THAT OUR DAUGHTERS
WILL HAVE LESS RIGHTS THAN OUR
GRANDMOTHERS. AT THIS POINT IN
TIME, WE CANNOT STAND BY AND DO
NOTHING. UM. ALONGSIDE MANY OF
OUR COLLEAGUES. WE HAVE
INTRODUCED A 10 TO ENSURE THAT
THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO CHOOSE
TO HAVE AN ABORTION AND USE
CONTRACEPTION IS PROTECTED IN
CALIFORNIA NOW. AND FOR
GENERATIONS TO COME. ABORTION IS
HEALTHCARE. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
AND LIKE MANY IMPORTANT MEDICAL
DECISIONS, IT IS A DISCUSSION
BETWEEN THE PATIENT. AND THEIR
HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. NO JUDGE,
NO POLITICIAN. SHOULD BE IN THAT
ROOM WHERE WE MAKING THIS
DECISION. THESE ARE DEEP
PERSONAL CHOICES THAT SHOULD BE
GROUNDED IN SCIENTIFIC FACTS AND
NOT A MEAN SPIRITED POLITICAL
AGENDA. WHEN THE ABILITY TO
ACCESS SAFE LEGAL ABORTIONS IS
STOLEN. THINGS GET GRIM. AND GET
DANGEROUS. YOUNG WOMEN WILL BE
PUT AT RISK. AND THAT'S JUST
UNACCEPTABLE. THAT IS WHY I
ASKED TODAY. TO LOOK FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THESE WOMEN. REAL
FAMILIES, REAL LIVES REAL
OPTIONS. WE SHOULD MAINTAIN A
PERSON'S RIGHT. AND FREEDOMS TO
MAKE THAT CHOICE. AND WE SHOULD
CERTAINLY SEND A MESSAGE THAT
THIS MEAN SPIRITED POLITICAL
AGENDA HAS NO PLACE IN
CALIFORNIA. WITH ME TODAY. I
HAVE LISA MESSED MATSUBARA WITH
PLANNED PARENTHOOD, AFFILIATES
OF CALIFORNIA AND WHEN
APPROPRIATE, MR CHAIR, I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND I VOTE.
VERY GOOD MR CHAIR. THANK YOU
FOR THE PRESENTATION. LET'S MOVE
TO THE PUBLIC HEARING. GOOD
MORNING. MISMATCH SABARA FROM
PLANNED PARENTHOOD AFFILIATES
YOU HAVE AH, WE'RE ALLOWING YOU
FIVE MINUTES OF TOTAL PRIMARY
TESTIMONY ON EACH SIDE. AND THIS
IS THE FISCAL COMMITTEE. SO IF
YOU COULD LIMIT YOUR REMARKS TO
THE FISCAL IMPACTS, WE
APPRECIATE THAT. GOOD MORNING
CHAIR MEMBERS. MY NAME IS LISA
MATSUBARA FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD
AFFILIATES OF CALIFORNIA,
REPRESENTING THE SEVEN
AFFILIATES IN THE STATE
OPERATING OVER 100 HEALTH
CENTERS. AND HERE, ALSO
REPRESENTING THE STEERING
COMMITTEE OF THE CALIFORNIA
FUTURE OF ABORTION COUNCIL, THE
COALITION OF MORE THAN 40
ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TOWARDS
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO ABORTION
SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA. AND TO
ENSURE THAT PEOPLE CAN CONTINUE
TO GET THE ABORTION CARE THEY
NEED AND DESERVE HERE. WE ARE
PROUD TO CO SPONSOR STATE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT 10 AT C
A 10 WILL AMEND OUR STATE'S
CONSTITUTION TO PROTECT ABORTION
AND CONTRACEPTION. THIS EFFORT
IS NOT JUST WHAT IS NEEDED TO
MEET THIS MOMENT. BUT IT IS WHAT
WE NEED TO FUTURE PROOF ACCESS
TO ESSENTIAL SEXUAL AND
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE IN OUR
STATE NOW AND FOR GENERATIONS TO
COME. THE RIGHT TO ABORTION AND
THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY OR AT RISK,
LIKE NEVER BEFORE, JUST LAST
MONTH IN AN UNPRECEDENTED MANNER
THROUGH A LEAKED DRAFT DECISION
THE PUBLIC SAW FOR THE FIRST
TIME JUST HOW MUCH THE RIGHT TO
ABORTION AND ULTIMATELY, THE
RIGHT TO PRIVACY IS UNDER
ATTACK. BY EXTREME CONSERVATIVE
JUSTICES ON THE SUPREME COURT.
THE LEAGUE DECISION INDICATES
THAT THE COURT IS PREPARED TO
EVISCERATE THE CONSTITUTIONAL
PRIVACY RIGHTS PROTECTED A ROW
V. WADE. IN THIS WILL ALLOW
STATES TO BAR ACCESS TO SAFE AND
LEGAL ABORTIONS, CRIMINALIZED
PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS AND
CREATE INSURMOUNTABLE BARRIERS
FOR PEOPLE ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE. THE
REALITY IS AND THAT IT NEXT
COMING DAYS WEEKS WHEN ROW FALLS
IS VERY LIKELY THAT 26 STATES
WILL SEVERELY OR COMPLETELY BAN
ABORTION, TAKING AWAY PEOPLE'S
RIGHTS TO MAKE THE HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS. THAT ARE RIGHT FOR
THEM, THEIR HEALTH AND THEIR
CIRCUMSTANCES AS THE A 10 IS
ESSENTIAL TO CALIFORNIA MEETING
THAT'S MOMENT. AT THE TIME WILL
ENSHRINE THE RIGHT TO ABORTION
AND CONTRACEPTION IN OUR STATE
CONSTITUTION EXPLICITLY AND
ENSURE THAT THESE RIGHTS THAT
PROTECT THESE RIGHTS ARE
CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED UNDER
CALIFORNIA YEAR CALIFORNIA LAW
FOR YEARS TO COME. FOR THESE
REASONS. I STRONGLY URGE YOUR

THIS SERIOUS DECISION. I WANT TO
COMPLIMENT PRO TEM ATKINS AND
THE SPEAKER, PLANNED PARENTHOOD
AND THE COALITION FOR BEING
READY WITH THIS CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT AND HAVING IT IN

POTENTIAL OVERTURNING AGAIN. IT

PROACTIVE PROTECTION ON A

TWO DAUGHTERS, UM AND THE SON OF
A SINGLE MOM. I KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THESE ISSUES ARE. UM
AND I JUST STAND IN SOLIDARITY.
WITH MY DAUGHTERS AND MY

I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE
ALRIGHT, THE BILL HAS BEEN MOVED
BY SENATOR LAIRD. THE MOTION IS
THAT THE MEASURE BE ADAPTED AND
REFERRED TO THE SENATE FLOOR. MR
MACKENZIE, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
SEE A 10. THE MOTION IS TO BE

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FRIEDMAN ON
PUPILS, SAFETY, PARENTAL
NOTIFICATION AND FIREARMS. UM,
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PLEASE COME UP
AND TELL US ABOUT A B 4 52.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
AND BEFORE I BEGIN, I JUST WANT
TO TAKE A MOMENT TO ACKNOWLEDGE
CHAIR PORTANTINO'S MANY, MANY
YEARS OF WORK ON THE ISSUE OF
GUN SAFETY. AND ALL OF THE
AMAZING WORK THAT HE HAS DONE IN
THIS TOPIC. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE
ABLE TO PRESENT THIS BILL TO YOU
HERE TODAY, AS YOU KNOW,
EDUCATION AROUND GUN VIOLENCE IS
ESSENTIAL TO KEEPING OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFE. 87% OF
CHILDREN KNOW WHERE THEIR
PARENTS GUNS ARE KEPT, AND 60%
HAVE REPORTED HANDLING THEM. NEW
DATA RELEASED BY THE CDC SHOWS
THAT FIREARMS ARE NOW THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR
CHILDREN AND TEENS IN AMERICA.
EVERY YEAR. 18,000 CHILDREN AND
TEENS ARE SHOT OR KILLED OR
WOUNDED AND APPROXIMATELY THREE
MILLION ARE EXPOSED TO GUN
VIOLENCE. 4 52 WOULD REQUIRE THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION AND CONSULTATION WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. TO
DEVELOP AN UPDATE AS NECESSARY A
NOTIFICATION REGARDING SAFE
FIREARM STORAGE TO ANNUALLY
PROVIDED TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION AND
CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR
DISTRIBUTION. SPECIFICALLY THIS
NOTIFICATION WILL INFORM PARENTS
AND GUARDIANS OF PUPILS OF
CALIFORNIA'S CHILD ACCESS
PREVENTION LAWS AND LAWS RELATED
TO THE SAFE STORAGE OF FIREARMS
AND HOPEFULLY ALSO GIVE SOME
EDUCATION OF PARENTS ABOUT THE
DANGERS THAT ARE PRESENTED IF
THEY KEEP A GUN IN ISSUE BOX AT
THE TOP OF THE CLOSET, OR HAVE A
TEENAGER THAT THEY MIGHT NOT
REALIZE. IS SUICIDAL OR
HOMICIDAL AND KNOWS WHERE THE
KEYS THE GUN SAFES ARE KEPT. WE
HAVE DRAFTED THE BILL. EXCUSE ME
, SO THE NOTIFICATION IS EASY
AND AS COST EFFECTIVE TO
DISTRIBUTE AS POSSIBLE IT CAN BE
DONE THROUGH EMAIL. FOR
INSTANCE, ALONG WITH I GET
WEEKLY NOTIFICATIONS. FROM MY
DAUGHTER'S ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SO
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE VERY USED TO DOING
. TESTIFYING AND SUPPORT THIS
MORNING. IS TANYA SHARP FROM THE
BRADY AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE. THIS
BILL HAS RECEIVED BROAD
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, AND I WROTE
RESPECTFULLY OR DUE TO VOTE FOR
IT TODAY. THANK YOU AND WE HAVE
MISS CHARRED ON THE CONFERENCE
LINE. AND SHE HAS UP TO FIVE
MINUTES AS OUR PRIMARY WITNESS
SO SHARP, PLEASE TAKE IT AWAY.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE WILL BE
MUCH SHORTER THAN THAT PART
BUILT CONCERT. BRADY CAMPAIGN TO
PREVENT GUN VIOLENCE. THE OTHER

STANDARD. WITH THE RIGHT COMES
GREATER RESPONSIBILITY AND I

MILLION. HEY DO AND MR TING
AGREE WITH THOSE ESTIMATES AND
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE HASN'T
GIVEN US AN ESTIMATED ON THE
FISCAL IMPACT ON THE COURT. IT
SEEMS THAT THEY'RE ASKING TOO
FOR MONEY FOR LEGAL EXPERTS.
DEFENDING LEGAL CHALLENGES, BUT
DON'T HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE
COURTS. COULD YOU GIVE US SOME
IDEA WHAT THAT MAYBE IN THIS
AREA? WITH A B 15 90 FOR SURE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF WE CAN GO
TO THE PHONE LINES OF TANYA, WHO
REPRESENTS THE BRADY, THEY MAY
ABSOLUTELY HAVE AN ANSWER TO
THAT, UM. TANYA ARE YOU PREPARED
TO ANSWER? SENATOR WIECKOWSKI IS
QUESTION I WILL DO AS BEST AS I
CAN RECENTLY THINK THAT THOSE
ESTIMATES ARE HIGH. UM I THINK
THERE WILL BE AN OBLIGATION FOR
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO
BOTH, UM, DEFEND THIS LAW
PARTICIPATE. THERE MAY BE A
LAWSUIT FILED CHALLENGING IT.
AND THEN WE ALSO THAT THEY MAY
PURSUE CLAIMS PURSUANT TO THE
WELL. I WOULD KNOW, HOWEVER,
THAT TODAY WOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO
REPRESENT THE RECOVERED DAMAGES
, UM, FOR LOSSES, BUT THEY'RE
AGAINST GUN INITIALLY MEMBERS
THROUGH THIS AS WELL THAT FIBER
THAT SHOULD OFFSET SOME OF THE
COST. LONG TERM. I'M JUST LAST
NOTE WOULD BE YOU KNOW AGAIN, WE
EXPECT THAT THIS WALL WILL NOT
ONLY BE USED AS A MECHANISM
CLAIMS THAT IT WILL ALSO INSPIRE
GUN MURDERS TO ACT MORE
RESPONSIBLY, AND WE THINK THAT
THAT WILL HAVE A VERY LARGE
IMPACT ROTATION GUN VIOLENCE IN
THE STATE, WHICH IN OF ITSELF
TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO WE THINK
LONG TERM IT WILL ACTUALLY END
UP SAVING THE STATE MONEY. NO
THEY ARE THE PEOPLE ACT
RESPONSIBILITY. THERE WOULD BE
NO COST ON THE STATE. THIS NOVEL OF FIREARM INDUSTRY
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT. THERE
MIGHT BE SOME PUSHBACK ON THAT
IN THE LITIGATION, SO I JUST
WANT TO BE SURE THAT YOU KNOW?
THIS IS THIS IS A INTERESTING
IDEA. NEEDED IDEA FOR BUT IN AN
INDUSTRY THAT DOESN'T REALLY THE
SHY AWAY FROM LITIGATION AGAINST
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, SO I
JUST CALL THAT OUT, MR CHAIR.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. UM, DO WE
HAVE A MOTION? OH, IT NEVER
MOTION BY MR WIECKOWSKI. MR
GIBSON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
ON BEHALF OF MR TEAM? ABSOLUTELY
AND THANK THANK THE SENATOR FOR
YOUR QUESTION. UM IF YOU IF WE
CAN SUE A CAR MANUFACTURER FOR
NOT A SEATBELT BEING DEPLOYED,
OR AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED UM AND
THIS INDUSTRY, THE GUN INDUSTRY
HAS BEEN EXEMPT FOR MANY, MANY
YEARS THEY MANUFACTURE THEY SELL
. THEY SHOULD BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY SHOULD BE
ABLE TO AND PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE
AND BRING PRIVATE RIGHTS OF
ACTION. I THINK THIS IS POSSIBLY
A VERY UNIQUE THING, BUT
ABSOLUTELY I BELIEVE ONCE
CALIFORNIA LEADS THE WAY IN THIS
SPACE YOU WILL FIND OTHER STATES
THAT WILL FOLLOW WITH CALIFORNIA
HAS DONE AND SO I BELIEVE THIS
IS CERTAINLY THE MOTIVATION
BEHIND THE AUTHOR AND
RESPECTFULLY ASKED WHAT I VOTE
ON 15 94. THANK YOU, SIR. MR.
CONSULT, WHICH CALL THE ROLL.
SOMEBODY BUILT 15 94. THE MOTION
IS DUE PASS TO THE SENATE FLOOR.
SENATOR PORTANTINO. I SENATOR
BATES BATES. NO SENATOR BRADFORD

SENATOR KAMLAGER KAMLAGER I,
SENATOR LAIRD, I, SENATOR
WIECKOWSKI WIECKOWSKI. I THANK
YOU FOR THAT BILL IS OUT. 5 TO 1
WILL CLOSE THE ROLE. MR GIBSON
TELL US ABOUT 16, 21, FIREARMS
AND SERIALIZED. WEAPONS BE HAPPY
TO AGAIN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL 16 21,
WHICH SEEKS TO INCREASE PUBLIC
SAFETY BY FURTHER RESTRICTING
GHOST GUNS, AND THE PARTS KITS
USED TO BUILD THEM WHILE
PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF LEGAL
AND I WANT TO UNDERSCORE LEGAL
GUN OWNERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. BEFORE I BEGIN. I
WANT TO SPECIAL THANKS TO SHOUT
OUT TO OUR GOVERNOR, BUT ONE FOR
HIS GREAT AND TREMENDOUS
LEADERSHIP, CALLING ON THE
LEGISLATURE TO ONE EXPEDITE
THEIR CRITERIA. THIS LEGISLATION
BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE TODAY IS
ABSOLUTELY NEEDED BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THIS GOVERNOR ONE
WORKING IN A VERY PROACTIVE WAY
IN ORDER TO AGAIN LEAD THE WAY
IN THIS SPACE. THIS IS, UM THIS
BILL HAS RECEIVED BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT IN THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSEMBLY. WE'RE HAPPY WITH THAT
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE CERTAINLY
SEE THERE IS A NEED AND URGENCY
THAT WE MUST PASS GOOD, SENSIBLE
GUN LEGISLATION OR ESPECIALLY
AROUND GHOST GUNS. GHOST GUN
PARTS. AND KIDS CAN BE ORDERED
ONLINE IN STORES AND OR AT GUN
SHOWS WITHOUT A BACKGROUND
CHECK, AND I WANT TO UNDERSCORE
WITHOUT A BACKGROUND CHECK. THEY
CAN BE PUT TOGETHER TO FORM A
FULLY FUNCTIONING FAR ARM IN
JUST IN HALF AN HOUR AND EVEN
LESS TIME. THEN IT TOOK THEM TO
BUILD THE GUN. THEY CAN USE THAT
GUN AND TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE.
THIS IS WHY GHOST GUNS HAVE
CONTINUED TO LEAD THE WILDFIRE
OF GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES AND ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES, AND ESPECIALLY
HERE IN CALIFORNIA, JUST IN LOS
ANGELES, LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS
RECOVERED. AGAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT
IN LOS ANGELES HAD RECOVERED
OVER 1921 GHOST GUNS IN 2021,
WHICH WAS MORE THAN DOUBLE THE
813 GHOST GUNS RECOVERED IN 2000
AND 20 BEYOND INDIVIDUAL
HOMICIDES. THESE UNTRACEABLE
WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTIONS ARE
ALSO USED IN MASS SHOOTINGS
ACROSS THE STATE AND NATION.
MEMBERS. UM I REPRESENT A
COMMUNITY WHO HAVE ABSOLUTELY
BEEN RAVISHED. AND WE SIMPLY SAY
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. ASSEMBLY BILL
16 21 SEEKS TO HALT THE SELL OF
UNFINISHED AND UNTRACEABLE GUN
PARTS UNTIL UNTIL AND SO LONG AS
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REGULATES
THEM. IF PASSED, THIS BILL WOULD
GO INTO EFFECT IMMEDIATELY AS AN
URGENCY STATUS. THE QUICKER WE
DO THIS, THE QUICKER WE CAN SAVE
LIVES. IT IS ABSOLUTELY
IMPORTANT. FOR THE ENTIRE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. AND TO THOSE
WATCHING FROM THEIR STATES THAT
WE MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION TO
ONE. SAVE OUR BABIES, SAVE THE
FAMILIES AND STOP THE SENSELESS
KILLINGS YOU BROUGHT ON BY THESE

SENATOR PORTANTINO PORTANTINO I,
SENATOR BATES I SENATOR BRADFORD
BRADFORD I, SENATOR JONES.

GABRIEL 1929 ON MEDICAL VIOLENCE
PREVENTION SERVICES. SO, MR
GABRIEL, PLEASE TELL US ABOUT
YOUR BILL. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. I AM PLEASED TODAY
TO PRESENT A B 1929 BILL TO
PROVIDE MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT
FOR PROFESSIONAL VIOLENCE
PREVENTION SERVICES THAT HAVE
PROVEN EFFECTIVE AT STOPPING
CYCLES OF GUN VIOLENCE AND
SAVING LIVES. THE COVID 19
PANDEMIC HAS INTENSIFIED THE
COUNTRY'S GUN VIOLENCE CRISIS
RECORD INCREASES IN GUN SALES,
SOCIAL ISOLATION AND ECONOMIC
STRUGGLES DUE TO COVID 19 HAVE
PUT MANY PEOPLE AT RISK FOR GUN
VIOLENCE. 2020 AND 2021 WERE
SOME OF THE DEADLIEST YEARS ON
RECORD IN THE UNITED STATES. WE
MUST ADDRESS THIS GUN VIOLENCE
HEAD ON NOT ONLY AS A PUBLIC
SAFETY ISSUE, BUT ALSO AS A
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS. OUR
HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS HAS SAVED
COUNTLESS LIVES FROM VIOLENCE,
BUT PATIENTS ARE OFTEN
DISCHARGED BACK INTO THE SAME
CONDITIONS THAT LED TO THEIR
VIOLENT VICTIMIZATION IN THE
FIRST PLACE. THIS CREATES A
REVOLVING DOOR OF VIOLENT INJURY
AND RE INJURY OR TRAUMA CENTERS,
TOO OFTEN SEE THE SAME VICTIMS
OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MAYBE 1929
ADDRESSES THIS UNFORTUNATE
REALITY BUT OF THE FACT THAT
MANY VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE ARE
AT HIGH RISK FOR RE INJURY AND
RETALIATION, AND IT DOES SO BY
LEVERAGING FEDERAL MEDICAID
DOLLARS TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE
FUNDING STREAM. FOR EVIDENCE
BASED VIOLENCE PREVENTION
SERVICES THAT PROMOTE TRAUMA
RECOVERY AND REDUCE THE RISK OF
VIOLENT RE INJURY BY EXPANDING
ACCESS TO VIOLENCE PREVENTION
SERVICES. THIS BILL WILL SAVE
LIVES, REDUCE BURDENS ON THE
MEDICAL AND JUDICIAL SYSTEMS AND
ADDRESS TROUBLING RACIAL
DISPARITIES IN HEALTH AND
COMMUNITY VIOLENCE OUTCOMES.
THAT'S WHY THIS LEGISLATION HAS
RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND
IS SUPPORTED BY A BROAD
COALITION OF GUN VIOLENCE AND
PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS,
INCLUDING MOMS DEMAND ACTION
GIFFORDS, THE BRADY CAMPAIGN
EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS, NURSES,
PEDIATRIC PRACTITIONERS AND
PUBLIC HEALTH ADVOCATES. THANK
YOU AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR I VOTE. ALL RIGHT. DO WE
HAVE A PRIMARY WITNESS? WE HAVE
NO PRIMARY WITNESS. IS THERE
ANYONE IN THIS ROOM THAT WOULD
LIKE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
1929? THERE YOU GO. NICOLE

THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. WOULD YOU
NOT HAVE A FILE ON THE SPILL?
ALRIGHT, NO FILE. MR WIECKOWSKI
CONCUR WITH THE STAFF ANALYSIS
THAT THIS WILL BE NO ADDITIONAL
COST TO THE STATE. SINCE WE HAVE
ESTABLISHED THESE VIOLENT
PREVENTATIVE SERVICES UNDER THE
COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER BENEFIT
. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE
SERVICES HAS SAID. SO WE AGREE
WITH THAT. REMOVE THE BILL. WE
HAVE EMOTIONS ALWAYS GOOD TO
AGREE WHEN THEY SAY THERE IS NO
SIGNIFICANT COST. THAT'S ALWAYS
A GOOD PLACE TO BE. MR
WIECKOWSKI HAS MOVED THE BILL,
MR CONSULTANT WILL CALL THE
ROLL. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
MR. YES WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLY BILL 1929. THE
MOTION IS DUE PASS TO THE SENATE
FLOOR. SENATOR PORTANTINO I.
ARGENTINA I SENATOR BATES,
SENATOR BRADFORD BRADFORD EYES,
SENATOR JONES. SENATOR KAMLAGER
KAMLAGER I, SENATOR LAIRD I,
SENATOR WIECKOWSKI WIECKOWSKI. I
GO TO 6 TO 0. THAT BILL IS OUT 6
TO 0. THANK YOU, MR GABRIEL. MS
BAUER, CAN YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING
PATIENTLY AND CONVERSING WITH
IRWIN? SO YOU GET A GOLD STAR?
SO PLEASE COME UP AND TELL US
ABOUT YOUR BILL, WHICH IS A B 25
71 ON FIREARMS ADVERTISING TO
MINORS. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. I
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY. MY
PRESENTATION FIRST FOR WINS, AND
I'M ALREADY READY TODAY AND
PRESENTING A B 25 71 A BILL THAT
PROTECTS OUR CHILDREN FROM
DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE
FIREARM ADVERTISEMENTS. GUN
VIOLENCE IS AT ITS MOST
DEVASTATING WHEN IT THREATENS
OUR KIDS IN 2021. THERE WERE
APPROXIMATELY 259 UNINTENTIONAL
SHOOTINGS BY CHILDREN, RESULTING
IN OVER 100 DEATHS AND 168
INJURIES. WEAPONS USED BY
CHILDREN HAVE PUT OTHER CHILDREN
AT RISK 91% OF VICTIMS IN THESE
SHOOTINGS BY CHILDREN, OUR
CHILDREN OFTEN SIBLINGS OF THE
CHILDREN SHOOTING IN CALIFORNIA
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE THIRD
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR KIDS
AND TEENS. THE EPIDEMIC OF
DEADLY VIOLENCE IS FUELED BY AN
INDUSTRY THAT OCCURRED TREES
CHILDREN TO HOLD A GUN AS SOON
AS THEY CAN WALK. GUN
MANUFACTURERS TARGET OUR KIDS
WITH SLICK ADVERTISING, COLORFUL
CARTOONS AND EVEN CHILDREN'S
BOOKS. THE ADVERTISING FOR THESE
WEAPONS IS SHAMELESS. AND
CALIFORNIA KIDS CANNOT BUY A GUN
, YET THEY ARE ADVERTISED ACROSS
ALL FORMS OF MEDIA WITH CARTOONS
, VIDEO GAMES AND SOCIAL MEDIA.
MAYBE 25 71 WILL PROHIBIT
FIREARM INDUSTRY MEMBERS THOSE
WHO MAKE SELL AND DISTRIBUTE
FIREARMS. FROM MARKETING OR
ADVERTISING FIREARM RELATED
PRODUCTS TO MINORS WHILE GIVING
ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT ABILITIES
TO THE STATE COUNTIES AND
CITIES. AS STATED IN THE
ANALYSIS COSTS WOULD BE FOR
PROSECUTION OF THE VIOLATION AND
COURT TIME, BOTH OF WHICH COULD
BE OFFSET WITH COLLECTION OF
SIGNIFICANT FINES ALLOWED UNDER
THE BILL WITH ME TODAY TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT IS A LEMON EMILY ALTS
WITH MOMS DEMAND ACTION AND BY
PHONE. BALLAD ALECKO WITH MARCH
FOR OUR LIVES. ALL RIGHT. COME
ON UP. MORNING. MY NAME IS EMILY
ALL AND I'M A MOM LIVING IN
DAVIS. I'M A VOLUNTEER LEADER
WITH THE CALIFORNIA CHAPTER OF
MOMS DEMAND ACTION FOR GUN
SENSE. FROM MY BACKGROUND,
WORKING IN PUBLIC HEALTH,
TEACHING KINDERGARTEN AND
RAISING MY OWN THREE CHILDREN. I
KNOW THE IMPORTANCE OF SETTING
CLEAR GUARDRAILS FOR KIDS,
INCLUDING MAKING SURE THAT ALL
KIDS KNOW THAT FIREARMS ARE NOT
TOYS, AND THIS BILL PRESENTS A
COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO JUST
THAT. ADVERTISING GUNS TO MINORS
BY USING STUFFED ANIMALS AND
CARTOON CHARACTERS COMPLICATES
OUR ABILITY TO MAKE THE CLEAR
DISTINCTION TO YOUNG KIDS THAT
GUNS ARE NOT TOYS. A B 25 71
WOULD PROHIBIT ADVERTISING,
FIREARMS AND MATERIALS DIRECTED
TO CHILDREN AND PROHIBIT
PUBLICATION OF FIREARMS
ADVERTISEMENTS OR MARKETING
MATERIALS THAT ARE ATTRACTIVE TO
MINORS. OUR STATE LAWS ALREADY
ACKNOWLEDGED TWO TRUTHS. ONE
FIREARMS ARE ESPECIALLY
DANGEROUS IN THE HANDS OF MINORS
AND TWO WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY
TO REGULATE THE MARKETING OF
DANGEROUS PRODUCTS TO MINORS. A
B 25 71 BUILDS A BRIDGE BETWEEN
THOSE CONCEPTS AND CLOSES A GAP
IN OUR STATE LAW BY REGULATING
THE MARKETING OF FIREARMS TO
CHILDREN. WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW
FOR PROFIT COMPANIES TO INUNDATE
OUR KIDS WITH ADS SUGGESTING
THAT DEADLY WEAPONS ARE
DESIRABLE TO OY. WE RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST ER I VOTE ON A B 25 71.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
FARRAKHAN. I THINK YOU HAVE A
PRIMARY WITNESS ON THE PHONE
LINE AS WELL. MODERATOR IF YOU
COULD QUÊ WHAT? MR ALEXIA
ALECKO. MISS DELLA CO. ALEXA.

TROUBLE HEARING YOU, MODERATORS.

DIFFERENCE IN SUPPORT. IT WAS
CONTEXT. ALRIGHT, WELL, WE'LL
JUST CONTINUE TO GO TO SUPPORT
AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE YOUR
PRIMARY WITNESS WELL, WE'RE
GOING TO TAKE SOMEBODY IN THIS
ROOM FIRST. COME ON UP NICOLE
KENYANS ON BEHALF OF EVERY TIME
FOR GUN SAFETY AND SUPPORT.
THANK YOU FOR ROLLING WITH US.
MISS KENYANS WILL GO BACK TO THE
PHONE LINE. IF YOU ARE SUPPORT

IMPORTANT FLORIDA. MARGINALIZES
UNEQUIVOCALLY. STILL, CURRENT
BOSS RESPECTED, DIFFERENT
ADVERTISING PROMOTIONAL
MARKETING FOR ALCOHOL, CANNABIS,
CASCO AND MARKERS. AND THIS
PREVENTS POTENTIALLY HARMFUL
SUBSTANCES GETTING INTO KANSAS
YOUNG PEOPLE. IT'S TIME THAT WE
DID THE SAME WHEN IT COMES TO
PROTECTING MINORS FROM GUN
FORTIFICATIONS. FIREARMS ARE THE
LEADING COSTS WITH CHILDREN IN
THE STATES AND THE THIRD LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN
CONTAINS IN SOUTH FLORIDA AT A
VERY EARLY AGE, YOUNG PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN FACED WITH SHOOTING
GIRLS WITH THE LOVED ONES, BUT
THAT'S WHY FIREARMS CONCERTS AND
COMPUTERS. YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
EXPERIENCING ALMOST DEVASTATING
FOR OUR GENERATION, MY
GENERATION SICK AND TIRED OF
BEING AFRAID. OPEN UP THIS PAST
SATURDAY. 450 PLUS MARCHES WERE
HELD ACROSS THE NATION TO CALL
ON OUR LEGISLATORS TAXING ON GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION LEGISLATION
JUST LIKE ÁP 25 21. HOWEVER AS A
LIVING SOMETIMES FIREARM
MANUFACTURERS TARGETING MIND.
FOR INSTANCE, COMPANIES COMING
OUT WITH THEIR ENCOUNTER
CHILDREN MARKETING INTO MARKETS,
INCLUDING CARTS, CARTS AND
CHARACTERS AND SAYING, JUST LIKE
MOM AND DAD STUFF. COMPLETELY
DISREGARDING THE HARM THAT CAN
CAUSE PEOPLE. MY LIFE IS STILL A
CHANCE TO HOLD DISTRICT ON A
VOICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE FACE.
CALIFORNIA IS THE LEADER WHEN IT
COMES TO THAT FOR THE REST OF
THE COUNTRY COUNTS POTENT. IT IS
STRICTLY AS FIREARMS MINING
PASSING A BIG THANK YOU. ALRIGHT

SUPPORTED OPPOSITION FINANCE.
YOU HAVE A FILE. THANK YOU. MR
CHAIRMAN DID NOT HAVE A FILE ON
THIS BILL. ALRIGHT, NO FILE. MR
WIECKOWSKI CONCUR IN THE
ANALYSIS THAT THEY'RE LIKELY
CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES TO
THIS LEGISLATION AND FOR THE
NEXT FOUR YEARS, DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE BELIEVES THAT THEY WILL
NEED AN ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY AND
THE GOVERNMENT SECTION
ADDITIONAL ATTORNEY AND CONSUMER
PROTECTION PLUS COMMENSURATE
LEGAL. ASSISTANT ON THAT, TOO.
RESPOND TO AND LAWSUITS AGAINST
THE STATE. I MEAN, I CAN'T
CONTROL AS YOU WELL KNOW,
COUNSELOR WHO SUES THE STATE FOR
ANY GIVEN ISSUE, BUT WE ARE
WITHOUT A DOUBT, AND WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH OBVIOUSLY BOTH JUDICIARY
COMMITTEES ON GOOD
CONSTITUTIONAL GROUND AND TAKEN
CITY OF ANY AMENDMENTS TO NARROW
THE BILL TO ENSURE ITS
CONSTITUTIONAL SO WE BELIEVE
THAT IT IS WELL WITHIN THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS
ABILITIES TO DEFEND THE SUIT IF
IX NOBODY, I GUESS THE QUESTION
IS, IS IT TO LAWYERS ENOUGH TO
DO IT? HONORED ON? THE
ADVERTISING TO MINORS BY THE
OPPOSITION. THAT'S. THE
QUESTIONS AND THE PRESIDENT IS
OUT THERE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT
A NOVEL LAW. WE HAVE DONE THIS
ON, YOU KNOW, MARIJUANA
ADVERTISING, CIGARETTE
ADVERTISING, ALCOHOL ADVERTISING
, SO THE PRESIDENT IS THERE AND
THE CASE WILL BE, I THINK
STRAIGHT FORWARD. I MOVED THE
BILL. THANK YOU. MR BAUER CAN

LIKE TO DO THAT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. AND GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. TODAY I'M
PRESENTING ASSEMBLY
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT A C A
THREE THE CALIFORNIA ABOLITION
ACT. THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION
PROHIBITS SLAVERY. INVOLUNTARY
SERVITUDE IS ALSO PROHIBITED.
BUT WITH ONE EXCEPTION. TO
PUNISH A CRIME. A C A THREE
SEEKS TO AMEND THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION TO REMOVE SUCH
CONDITIONAL LANGUAGE, A BOLUS
ABOLISHING SLAVERY AND
INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE WITHOUT
EXCEPTION. THIS AMENDMENT IS
LONG OVERDUE. DISSOLVING THE
VESTIGES OF SLAVERY, ECONOMIC
SUBJUGATION AND RACIAL
INEQUALITY IS MORE IMPORTANT NOW
THAN EVER BEFORE. IN 2021. US
SENATOR JEFF MERKLEY OF OREGON
INTRODUCED THE ABOLITION
AMENDMENT ALONG WITH
CONGRESSWOMAN KEMA, THE CHEMO
WILLIAMS OF GEORGIA TO REMOVE
INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE AS A
PUNISHMENT FOR CRIME. FROM THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
VOTERS IN COLORADO, NEBRASKA AND
UTAH VOTED TO REMOVE EXCEPTION
CLAUSES FROM THEIR STATE
CONSTITUTIONS. CALIFORNIA VOTERS
SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY
OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME. OUR
CONSTITUTION IS A DOCUMENT OF
PRINCIPLES SERVING AS A GUIDE
FOR THE OPERATIONS OF STATE LAW.
FROM A VALUES PLACE. THERE IS NO
PLACE FOR SLAVERY, FORCED LABOR
NOR INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE ON OUR
BOOKS AND VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
ARE THE BASIS OF ANY
CONSTITUTION. THERE HAVE BEEN
MANY CONVERSATIONS AND MUCH
SPECULATION ABOUT WHAT THE COST
OF SUCH AN AMENDMENT WOULD BE.
ALL OF THE ANALYSIS HAS

OF THE CALIFORNIA NATIVE POLK
COUNTY. COME IN A STRONG
SUPPORTER BASED GREECE. THANK
YOU. MR CHAIR. NOBODY DID QUEUE
UP IN OPPOSITION TO THREE.
ALRIGHT, WE'VE TAKEN SUPPORTING
OPPOSITION FINANCE. YOU HAVE A
FILE. YES THANK YOU, MR CHAIR
WHILE WE ARE SENSITIVE TO THE
INTENT OF THIS RESOLUTION, THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE DOES HAVE
AN OPPOSED POSITION DUE TO ITS
POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT GENERAL
FUND COSTS. BECAUSE THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
DEFINE INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE. IT
IS UNCLEAR HOW THIS AMENDMENT
WOULD AFFECT FORMS OF WORK
CURRENTLY BEING DONE BY JUSTICE
INVOLVED POPULATIONS. AND THESE
EFFECTS WE THINK WILL ULTIMATELY
BE DETERMINED BY THE OUTCOME OF
FUTURE LITIGATION AND COURT
DECISIONS. AS SUCH THE PHYSICAL
EFFECTS OF THIS MEASURE ON STATE
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
SUBJECT TO A HIGH DEGREE OF
UNCERTAINTY. COULD THEY COULD
RANGE FROM RELATIVELY MINOR
COSTS ALL THE WAY INTO THE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY?
THE LARGEST POTENTIAL IMPACT IS
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
AND REHABILITATION, WHICH
CURRENTLY EMPLOYEES AROUND
65,000 INCARCERATED PERSONS TO
SUPPORT ESSENTIAL PRISONS AND
OPERATIONS, SUCH AS BY PROVIDING
COOKING, CLEANING AND LAUNDRY
SERVICES. AFTER DEPARTMENT WERE
REQUIRED TO PAY THESE WORKERS
MINIMUM WAGE, WHICH IS ONE
POTENTIAL OUTCOME. IN OUR VIEW,
THE COST COULD BE IN THE RANGE
OF $1.5 BILLION ANNUALLY. THE
MEASURE COULD ALSO RESULT IN
SUBSTANTIAL COSTS OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS BECAUSE COUNTY IS
SIMILARLY EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS
IN COUNTY JAILS FOR SIMILAR
FUNCTIONS. IN ADDITION, UNDER
CURRENT SENTENCING LAW, JUDGES
CAN ORDER INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED
OF CERTAIN CRIMES TO COMPLETE
COMMUNITY SERVICE IN LIEU OF
INCARCERATION. THE MEASURES
INTERPRETED TO PROHIBIT THIS
PRACTICE. THESE INDIVIDUALS MAY
INSTEAD BE INCARCERATED AT
SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER CLASS. I
ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS
ESTIMATING THAT THIS AMENDMENT
COULD RESULT IN INCREASED
LITIGATION AGAINST THE STATE. UM
ASSOCIATED WORKLOAD COST IN THE
RANGE OF $560,000 IN 22 23, THEN
$772,000 ANNUALLY I'M GOING
THEREAFTER. AND FINALLY THE
SECRETARY SECRETARY OF STATE
ESTIMATES ONE TIME PRINTING
COSTS LIKELY BETWEEN $546,000
AND $728,000 TO ADD THIS
AMENDMENT TO THE STATEWIDE
SALAD. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.
WE'VE HEARD FROM FINANCE MR
LAIRD, MOVE A C A THREE. WE HAVE
A MOMENT. MR. WIECKOWSKI HAS A
QUESTION. UM. CENTERED KAMLAGER
. LET'S ASSUME THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IS RIGHT
AND THAT THIS TO MAINTAIN THE
PRISON SYSTEM AND PAY PEOPLE A
MINIMUM WAGE. IS GOING TO COST A
BILLION AND A HALF AND OUR
SECOND R SENATE OFFICE OF
RESEARCH SAYS THAT IF WE PAID
THE MINIMUM WAGE, AND EVERYBODY
SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE
PAYING PEOPLE, EIGHT CENTS THAT
37 CENTS CURRENTLY. RIGHT AND WE
GET AN EXTRA BUCK IF THEY WORK
ON THE FIRE CREWS, SO THAT'S
THAT. BUT WE HAVE MANY MEASURES
THAT TALK ABOUT THE CIRCLE OF
POVERTY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN
THE PRISON SYSTEM AND THEY COME
OUT. THEY FACE HOMELESSNESS.
THEY DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY
FOOD THEY DON'T HAVE MONEY FOR,
YOU KNOW, TO DO TRAINING OR TO
DO THINGS. ISN'T THERE A
SECONDARY BENEFIT OF ONE
STOPPING THE ABHORRENT,
INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE, RIGHT?
BUT THIS WOULDN'T THIS HELP HELP
PEOPLE WHO ARE LEAVING THE
PRISON SYSTEM TO BE BETTER
PREPARED, PREPARED AT LEAST
MONETARILY OR WHILE THEY'RE IN
THE PRISON SYSTEM AND MAKING
MINIMUM WAGE, A SISTER FAMILY
AND PEOPLE OUTSIDE THE PRISON
SYSTEM THAT THAT THERE'S STILL A
LITTLE KIDS. THEY STILL NEED
ASSISTANCE FROM WHOEVER IS
INCARCERATED. IS THAT A FAIR
ANALYSIS OF THE FISCAL IMPACT OF
THIS? WHAT THIS CONSTITUTIONAL
MEMBER MAY HAVE. WELL SENATOR
WIECKOWSKI. I HAVE TO THANK YOU
FOR ASKING THE QUESTION AND
BRINGING ME BACK TO REALITY
BECAUSE MY BLOOD PRESSURE SHOT
OFF THE CHAIN LISTENING TO
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. WE COULD
CERTAINLY HAVE A MORAL
DISCUSSION. THE REALITY IS THERE
IS SIX WORDS IN THIS, UM BILL
THAT JUST SAY TO REMOVE
INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE. THERE YOU
KNOW, THERE ARE REAL ECONOMIC
DISCUSSIONS. THIS COUNTRY HAS
BEEN HAVING ECONOMIC DISCUSSIONS
FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS AROUND
SLAVERY AND INVOLUNTARY
SERVITUDE AND INDENTURED
SERVITUDE. OBVIOUSLY YOU KEEP
PEOPLE AS SLAVES, AND YOU KEEP
THEM AS INDENTURED SERVANTS OR
FORCE INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE
BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER TO DO SO.
80% OF THE WORK THAT HAPPENS
INSIDE OUR CORRECTIONAL
FACILITIES. HIS MAINTENANCE
LABOR. OUR GOAL WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT CDCR AND POLICIES IS
AROUND HOW TO A REHABILITATE BE
PROVIDE ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES AND VOCATIONAL TRAINING
SO THAT FOLKS ARE RELEASED. THEY
ARE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY RE
ENTER THAT COSTS MONEY, BUT THE
GOAL IS IF YOU INVEST, THEN THEN
YOU CAN HOPEFULLY SAVE MONEY ON
THE OUTSIDE FOR EITHER COUNTY
SERVICES OR LOCAL SERVICES OR
EVEN STATE SERVICES. IT'S A
TRAVESTY THAT WE TRAINED FOLKS
WITH PARTICULAR SKILL SETS TO
GET PARTICULAR SKILL SETS.
WITHIN OUR CORRECTIONAL
FACILITIES AND THEN PROHIBIT
THEM FROM GETTING A JOB WITH
THOSE PARTICULAR SKILL SETS
BECAUSE OF THE LAWS THAT WE HAVE
ON THE BOOKS. IT'S A TRAVESTY
THAT WE ASKED FOLKS TO SERVE
TIME AND THEN WHEN WE WHEN THEY
LEAVE AND ARE RELEASED WE GIVE
THEM $200 AND ASK THEM NEVER TO
MAKE A MISTAKE NEVER TO DO WRONG
AND AUTOMATICALLY GET A JOB AND
FIGURE OUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO
DO CHECK INS WITH PAROLE AND
THEN CARE FOR YOUR FAMILY. THIS
BILL DOES NOT TALK ABOUT
ECONOMICS. THIS IS A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. THE
BEAUTY OF THIS BODY IS THAT WE
ARE THE ONES THAT DECIDE HOW TO
IMPLEMENTED THROUGH POLICY. AND
I HAVE TO SAY THAT DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE IS TONE DEAF. BECAUSE
CURRENT TREASURY CURRENCY IS NOT
THE ONLY MEASURE OF PAYMENT OR
COMPENSATION. YOU KNOW, THE
SERIOUS ER CAN GET INCREDIBLY
INNOVATIVE WITH HOW YOU REWARD
OR INCENTIVIZE WORKERS. WITH YOU
KNOW CREDITS WITH ADDITIONAL, UM
, DOLLARS ON THE BOOKS FOR YOUR
COMMENTARY WITH ADDITIONAL
VISITATION TIMES. THERE ARE SO
MANY OTHER WAYS. IF YOU'RE
TRYING TO SAVE MONEY, WHICH I
CAN'T BELIEVE WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
SOMEONE'S FREEDOM AS A WORKER,
BUT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT WAYS. THAT CDCR WORKS,
TOO. PAY INCENTIVIZED REWARD
COMPENSATE THOSE WITHIN THE
SYSTEM FOR DOING WORK, AND
THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANY OF
THAT AT ALL IN THIS INCREDIBLY
GROTESQUE ANALYSIS ABOUT WHY IT
MAKES MORE SENSE FOR THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA TO CONTINUE TO
ADVOCATE FOR AND ALLOW
INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE IN PRISONS
. I MEAN, I THINK THIS IS WHAT
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THAT LED
TO THE CIVIL WAR. VERY LONG
ANSWER. I'M NOW GOING TO GO
MEDITATE. ALRIGHT I VOTED ASKING
FOR MY VOTE CLOTHES, THE CLOTHES
. WE HAVE EMOTION. YES I MADE A
MOTION. MR LAIRD MADE A MOTION.
WE HAVE A PASSIONATE CLOSE. AND
A ROBUST COMMENT. I ALSO ASKED,
I'M ALSO JUST DEEPLY INSULTED
THAT OF ALL THE ONES THAT WE
HEARD TODAY. THIS IS THE ONLY
ONE WHERE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
HAS A FILE. AND THIS IS THE ONLY
ONE WHERE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
SAYS, HEY, WE COULD DEAL WITH
LITIGATION. THIS MIGHT NOT BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. I MEAN, WHEN
WE HAVE A RESOLUTION ON
JUNETEENTH. I'M FEELING DDULY
NOTED. ALRIGHT, MR CONSULTANT.
WHO'S THAT? THREE. THE MOTION
MOTION IS THAT THE MEASURES BE
ADOPTED AND RE REFERRED TO THE
SENATE FLOOR. SENATOR PORTANTINO
IMPORTANT. NÓI SENATOR BATES,
SENATOR BRADFORD. BRADFORD I,
SENATOR JONES. SENATOR KAMLAGER
I, ER I, SENATOR LAIRD. I HEARD
I SENATOR WIECKOWSKI. I SKI. I
VOTED 5 TO 0. IT IS OUT 5 TO 0.

BILLS ON CALL, AND WE WILL THIS
