HERE WELCOME TO BEGIN WITH I'M
NUMBER ONE EIGHTY THIRTY TWO
I THOUGHT IT TO BE HERE TODAY
VERY EXCITED ABOUT MY DAY
MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATORS FIRST
INFORM OUT MOST I'D LIKE TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING TIRELESSLY WITH MY
STUFF AND A SPECIAL THANK YOU
TO TERRY BROUGHTON FOR YOUR
INCREASE INCREDIBLE PATIENCE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS HARD
AS SOME OF US HAVE WORKED ON
TELEHEALTH OVER THE YEARS THE
TOOK A PANDEMIC FOR MANY OF OUR
COLLEAGUES AND THE PUBLIC TO
REALIZE HOW MUCH MORE WE NEED
TO DO TO DO TO OFFER AFFORDABLE
AND RELIABLE WAYS TO PROVIDE
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE TO THE
MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US DURING
THE HEALTH EMERGENCY PATIENTS
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE
TO SEE THE PROVIDERS CREATING
A BRIDGE TO EXPAND ACCESS IN
MORE NORMAL TIMES AB THIRTY
TWO MAKES THIS FLEXIBILITY TO
ACCESS OUR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
MORE PERMANENT SO THAT ACCESS
DOESN'T GO AWAY WITH THE
PANDEMIC WELL THE PANDEMIC HAS
LED TO DISRUPTIONS IN PATIENTS
ACCESS TO CARE TELEHEALTH
SPECIFICALLY TELEPHONIC CARE
HAS A LOT OF PROVIDERS TO BRING
CARE TO THEIR PATIENTS WELL
AND WHILE VIRTUAL CARE CANNOT
AND SHOULD NOT REPLACE IN
PERSON CARE RESEARCH HAS SHOWN
THAT TELEHEALTH EXPEDIENTS
ACCESS TO CARE AND WILL FOSTER
MORE CONTINUITY OF CARE FOR
MEDICALLY AND UNDERSERVED
POPULATIONS ACCORDING TO THE
CALIFORNIA HEALTH BENEFITS
REVIEW PROGRAM SB THIRTY
TWO WILL INCREASE HEALTH
CARE ACCESS FOR DECREASING
DISPARITIES CREATED BY
INCOME RACE ETHNICITY LACK
OF MOBILITY IS SHORTAGE OF
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS FOR A
LACK OF TECHNOLOGY PERSONALLY
I'VE GOTTEN A GREAT DEAL OF
FEEDBACK FROM BOTH CONSTITUENT
PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS WHO SAID
THAT TELEHEALTH HAS LITERALLY
BEEN A LIFESAVER STUDENTS IN
ENTERING THE HEALTH WORKFORCE
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GRADUATE ON
TIME ENJOYING THE FRONTLINES
BECAUSE TELEHEALTH ALLOWED THEM
TO SATISFY REQUIRED CLINICAL
HOURS FIFTEEN IT PROVIDERS HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ACCESS
TO PREVENTATIVE CARE AND I'VE
SEEN A DECREASE IN NO SHOWS
I FEEL LIKE I'M IN HEAVEN
THIS IS PRETTY COOL DO YOU
DO THIS TO ALL THE BILLS COME
THROUGH YOUR SPECIAL IT IS
I'M IN TRIBAL COMMUNITIES WHERE
THEY'RE AT THEY LACK ACCESS TO
RELIABLE INTERNET OR COMPUTERS
BEING ABLE TO CALL THE
PROVIDERS HAS BEEN EXTREMELY
BENEFICIAL AND ELDERLY
COMMUNITIES WHERE TECHNOLOGY
MOBILITY CAN BE A CHALLENGE
TELEPHONIC CARE HAS MADE IT
EASIER TO ACCESS SERVICES
STAYED HOME PARENTS WHO DO
NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CHILDCARE
ARE ABLE TO SPEAK TO PROVIDERS
VIA VIDEO OR PHONE PEOPLE IN
HOUSEHOLDS WHERE PARENTS OR
SPOUSES TRIED PREVENT TAXES
CAN SOMETIMES ONLY ACCESS CARE
THROUGH THE PHONE AND WORKING
FAMILIES HAVE NOT HAD TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN TAKING TIME OFF AND
TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES
OR THEIR FAMILIES COLLEAGUES
TELEHEALTH IS REVOLUTIONIZING
HOW WE PROVIDE SAFE EQUITABLE
AND EFFECTIVE HEALTH CARE
IT IS A CRITICAL TOOL IN OUR
HEALTH TOOLBOX PLEASE JOIN ME
IN OUR TELEHEALTH COALITION
CHAMPIONING THIS EXPANSION OF
OPTIONS FOR OUR CONSTITUENT
PATIENTS AND THEIR PROVIDERS
INCREASING ACCESS TO BOTH
PRIMARY AND SPECIALTY CARE
AND REDUCTION OF THE BARRIERS

LEADERSHIP ON TELEHEALTH WHEN
THE COVER NINETEEN PUBLIC
HEALTH EMERGENCY BEGAN PLANNED
PARENTHOOD QUICKLY SHIFTED TO
OFFER TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS
FOR SENSITIVE SERVICES SUCH
AS BIRTH CONTROL STI TREATMENT
PREGNANCY COUNSELING PEP AND
PREP FOLLOW UP AND GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE BECAUSE OF
THESE EMERGENCY FLEXIBILITIES
PLANNED PARENTHOOD PATIENTS
COULD RECEIVE CRUCIAL SERVICES
VIA AUDIO ONLY TELEHEALTH
WITHOUT SPENDING ADDITIONAL
TIME AND RESOURCES FOR AN IN
PERSON APPOINTMENT AND WITHOUT
HAVING TO OVERCOME BARRIERS TO
VIDEO BASED TELEHEALTH SUCH AS
LACKING SUFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY
RELIABLE INTERNET SERVICE
ADEQUATE MOBILE DATA PLANS AND
PERSONAL PRIVACY CONCERNS IN
FACT MANY PLANNED PARENTHOOD
PATIENTS PREFER AN AUDIO ONLY
TELL HEALTH APPOINTMENT OVER
VIDEO AND IN PERSON OPTIONS
WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE TWO MAJOR
PROVISIONS OF AB THIRTY TWO ARE
OF TOP IMPORTANCE FOR PLANNED
PARENTHOOD FIRST PRESERVING
PATIENT CHOICE FOR TELEHEALTH
MODALITY WHEN ESTABLISHING A
NEW PROVIDER RELATIONSHIP AND
SECOND PRESERVING FLEXIBILITY
FOR SAFETY NET PROVIDERS
TO CHOOSE WHICH TELEHEALTH
MODALITIES THEY OFFER WHEN
LACKING THE NECESSARY RESOURCES
FOR MULTIPLE MODALITIES
ASIANS OFTEN CHOOSE TO GO
OUT OF NETWORK TO PLANNED
PARENTHOOD FOR SENSITIVE
SERVICES SUCH AS BIRTH CONTROL
STI SCREENING AND ABORTION
FOR REASONS INCLUDING THEIR
SAFETY AND CONFIDENTIALITY
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE MORE
THAN TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
PLANNED PARENTHOOD PATIENTS
WERE NEW MEDIC HELP PATIENT
CLINICIAN RELATIONSHIPS
BAKER HAD STRONGLY BELIEVES
THAT A PATIENT CENTERED AND
EQUITABLE HEALTH CARE POLICY
SHOULD NOT RESTRICT MEDICAL
PATIENTS CHOICE OF TELEHEALTH
MODALITY WHEN ESTABLISHING
A NEW PROVIDER RELATIONSHIP

OF IMPORTANT BENEFITS AS A
RESULT IN EXPANDED TELEHEALTH
INCLUDING A GREATER NUMBER OF
PATIENTS BEING ABLE TO MAKE
THEIR APPOINTMENT ABILITY TO
CONNECT WITH PATIENTS THAT
MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE COME INTO
THE CLINIC FOR VISIT IN PERSON
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE QUALITY
WHEN THEY'RE TOUCH POINT HAS
MOVED TO BEING OVER THE PHONE
TELL HEALTH CAN BE A GOOD
SUBSTITUTE FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF
IN PERSON VISITS AND A PROVEN
ESPECIALLY VALUABLE TO PROVIDER
AND PATIENT BUSINESSES THAT
INCLUDE CHANGING MEDICATIONS
ADDRESSING CHRONIC DISEASE
MANAGEMENT CONCERNS THE
CRUSHING PAIN MANAGEMENT AND
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PHONE IS
ALSO PARTICULARLY VALUABLE
WHEN CONNECTING WITH PATIENTS
THAT HAVE CHALLENGES COMING
IN FOR APPOINTMENTS ARE
ACCESSING VIDEO MANY OF OUR
PATIENTS PREFERRED THE PHONE
BECAUSE THEY STRUGGLE WITH
LIMITED DATA PLANS INTERNET
ACCESS CHALLENGES AND A LACK
OF PRIVACY MANY OF OUR SYSTEMS
HAVE RECENTLY OR IN THE PROCESS
OF IMPLEMENTING VIDEO PLATFORMS
FOR TELEHEALTH BUT PHONE WILL
STILL BE A CRITICAL ENGAGE
FOR PATIENTS I WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER I YEAR CURRY
FOR HER LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE LEADERSHIP CALL MAYBE
THIRTY TWO AND THE LEGISLATURE
COMMITMENT TO TELEHEALTH HELPED
FACILITATE THE CREATION OF
AN ADVISORY GROUP THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION ORCHESTRATED

LANGUISHING CONCERNS ABOUT
THE CURRENT DRAFT OF ASSEMBLY
BILL THIRTY THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY
TODAY ON THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE T.
WE SUPPORTED THIS BILL WHEN IT
CAME OUT OF THE ASSEMBLY AND
WE APPRECIATE THE EXPANSION OF
COVERAGE TO MEDICARE OUTPATIENT
CLINIC HERE THAT THEY RECEIVE
COVERAGE WHEN RECEIVING
VIRTUAL CARE REGARDLESS OF
THE MODALITY THAT'LL MAKE IT
EASIER FOR PATIENTS RECEIVE
THE CARE THEY NEED HOWEVER
WE HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN AND
THAT CONCERN IS IS DEALING
WITH THE HOT HAND OFF REFERRAL
REQUIREMENTS THIS OF COURSE IS
A CONCERN THAT REFLECT BY MANY
OF OUR REPORTERS MEMBERS AS
WRITTEN HELLO PROVIDER WOULD
BE REQUIRED TO SEE EVERYBODY
INFORMATION IN PERSON OR FIND
SPECIFIC PROVIDERS FOR PATIENTS
IN NEED IN PERSON CARE AND
PERHAPS EVEN SCHEDULING THIS
COULD AFFECT PATIENT CHOICES
PROVIDERS WHO WOULD NOT BE ABLE
TO COMPLY WITH THE REFERRAL
REQUIREMENTS THEY CHOOSE NOT
TO ENROLL IN THE MEDICARE
ADDITIONALLY CALIFORNIA LICENSE
TELEHEALTH PROVIDERS WITHOUT A
BRICK AND MORTAR PRESENCE WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO DELIVER SERVICES
TO PATIENTS THAT THEY DID NOT
HAVE THE PROPER BAND WITH THE
SCHEDULING CAPABILITIES TO MEET
THE REFERRAL REQUIRE OF COURSE
IS DESIGNED TO OVERCOME THE
GEOGRAPHIC OBSTACLES TO CARE
THESE HOT HAND OFF REQUIREMENTS
DO NOT EXIST TODAY FOR THE
PACKAGING AND BRICK AND MORTAR
WE ALSO WERE FIRMLY OF THE
BELIEF IN THE EIGHTY EIGHT THAT
A PROFESSIONAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE PATIENT SHOULD BE
ABLE TO ESTABLISH THROUGH BOTH
ASYNCHRONOUS AND ASYNCHRONOUS
MODALITIES WE BELIEVE THAT THE
CONSENT REQUIREMENT THE BILL
WOULD PLACE AN UNDUE BURDEN
ON HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AS
THESE ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
FALL OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF
RESPONSIBILITIES AND FINALLY WE
BELIEVE -- THAT PROVIDERS WHO
OFFER SERVICES THROUGH AUDIO
ONLY TELEHEALTH PROVISIONS
OF THE BILL SHOULD NOT BE
ABLE HAVE TO ALSO OFFER
SERVICES VIA VIDEO SYNCHRONOUS
INTERACTION PATIENTS SHOULD
BE ABLE TO RECEIVE HEALTH CARE
VIA TELEHEALTH INDEPENDENT OF
THE MODALITY SO LONG AS THAT

THE COMMITTEE -- S.
THANK YOU IN HIS FRONT THINK
THIS SUMMER FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD I WAS ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE REALLY MADE SURE
IN IN ON THE BUDGET IS TO MAKE
SURE THERE'S CONTINUES TO BE
A FUNDING REIMBURSEMENT FOR A
MINUTE CAL AN OLD YOU KNOW AND
FOR TELEHEALTH -- SO I JUST
THINK IS ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS
PROVIDING ACCESS NAY THANK YOU
FOR IT AND BE WILLING TO MOVE
THE BILL WHEN THERE IS A CORE
YES WE DO HAVE A CORN YET --
SEVERAL INDUSTRIES THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN -- SO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
THERE HAS BEEN SOME OPPOSITION
THAT HAS COME FORWARD TO BUILD
LIKELY DIED AS A RESULT OF
THE FOR FIRST WITH WITNESS
WHO TESTIFIED IN SUPPORT I'M
GUESSING BUT I JUST WANT YOU
TO CLARIFY FOR EVERYONE WHAT
TYPES OF SERVICES THIS BILL
COVERS -- SEPARATE AND DISTINCT
FROM THE FIRST WITNESS WHO
TESTIFIED WELL OBVIOUSLY IT'S
GIVING ACCESS TO ALL HEALTH
HEALTH CARE DOESN'T MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE PARTICULARLY WHAT
TIME IT IS WEATHER'S GERIATRICS
WHETHER IT'S -- I CARE DENTAL
WHATEVER THE CASE MIGHT BE IT'S
GIVING ACCESS THIS BILL CAME
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WE'VE HAD
IT OUT THERE FOR TWO YEARS WE
WERE WORKING ON IT DILIGENTLY
WITH ALL OF OUR HUNDREDS OF
SUPPORTERS OF THE KEY HERE THE
KEY IS FOR EVERYONE TO HAVE
ACCESS AND DURING THE PANDEMIC
IT REALLY REALLY BROUGHT UP
THE DISPARITIES THROUGHOUT OUR
COMMUNITIES THE PEOPLE DIDN'T
HAVE ACCESS IS NOT JUST ABOUT
PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS NOT
BECAUSE OF ANYTHING ELSE HAS
HAPPENED ACROSS THIS IS BEEN
GOING ON FOR TWO YEARS WE'VE
HAD INCREDIBLE SUPPORT FROM
THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WE'VE GONE
THROUGH WITHOUT ANY OPPOSITION
-- I UNDERSTAND PEOPLE RIGHT
NOW OR YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT
NERVOUS ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW
THINGS WE'RE DOING AND HEALTH
CARE BUT LET'S LOOK AT THIS
WHAT IS IT WE HAVE A VISION
NOW AND WE'RE DOING HEALTH CARE
IS BEING DONE DIFFERENTLY THAN
IT USED TO BE AND I THINK THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT
I WANT ALL MY PEOPLE AND I'M
SURE YOU DO TOO TO HAVE ACCESS
TO HEALTH CARE WHETHER IT'S
OVER THE PHONE OR WHETHER IT'S
-- TELEHEALTH OVER -- VIDEO
EITHER WAY THESE ARE WAYS THAT
PEOPLE CAN GET ACCESS WERE
HELPING STUDENTS GET -- INTO
THE WORK FORCE SOONER AS WELL
THROUGH TELEHEALTH SO WITH
THIS ALSO COVER -- PERHAPS
-- YOUNG PEOPLE WHO NEED SOME
SORT OF MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
HELPS DOING IT -- OKAY I'M I'M
AGREES THAT WHILE I BRING THAT
UP HERE BECAUSE -- I HAVE BAD
CONSTITUENTS IN MY DISTRICT TO
BECAUSE OF THE CODE PANDEMIC
IN BECAUSE OF SCHOOLS BEING
LOCKED DOWN IN THESE KIDS
SITTING IN IN THEIR ROOMS ON A
LAPTOP ALL DAY LONG FOR MONTHS
ON END HAVE DEVELOPED VERY
SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
AND IN MY DISTRICT ANYWAY --
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
THROUGHOUT THE STATE BUT FOR
A PERSON TO GET INTO A MENTAL
HEALTH PROVIDERS PSYCHIATRISTS
OR PSYCHOLOGISTS THEY'RE NOT
DOING IN PERSON VISITS THEY'RE
ONLY DOING THEM VIA -- YOU
KNOW VIDEO CONFERENCE SO THIS
WHAT I'M ASKING IS YOU KNOW FOR
YOU TO CLARIFY THAT THIS WOULD
ALSO COVER SERVICES LIKE THIS
WHERE WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE
REALLY STRUGGLING AND NEED SOME
HELP IN THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN
GET IT IS VIA TELEHEALTH YOU
KNOW ABSOLUTE I'M SO GLAD YOU
BROUGHT THAT UP WE HAVE FOUND
THE INCREASE OF PEOPLE USING IT
FOR MENTAL HEALTH APPOINTMENTS
PER SE EVEN PEOPLE THAT ARE ON
THE STREET MANY HAVE A PHONE
AND SILICON -- USE THE SERVICES
OF THROUGH THE MENTAL HEALTH OF
THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SYSTEM SO
I THINK THAT ROOF WE JUST CAN'T
PIGEONHOLE YOURSELF ON ONE
THING THIS IS OPENING UP THE
DOOR FOR SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THE HEALTH CARE WITH THIS
MENTAL HEALTH PHYSICAL CAL
HEALTH CARE AND I -- I'M SO
DELIGHTED WITH THIS BILL OF
HOW HARD ALL OF THE SPONSORS
HAVE WORKED ON THIS LIKE I SAID
IT WAS A TO YOUR BILL AND WE
HAVE TRIED TO A DAUGHTER EYES
ACROSS SORTIES AND YOU'RE NOT
GONNA MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY ON
THIS BUT THE FACT THE MATTER
IS WE'VE GOT TO BRING BETTER
HEALTH CARE TO OUR COMMUNITIES
THE OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
AND WE'RE STILL WAITING QUORUM
-- TO LESSEN REGULATION THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD AND EVEN
WORKING FOR A LONG TIME ON
THIS ISSUE AND I THINK IS --
MY RACERS POINTED OUT THIS IS
REALLY ABOUT BE SURE PEOPLE
GASES PARTICULARLY FOR THE
REST OF THE COVERAGE BUT ALSO
FOR EXAMPLE PEOPLE IN RURAL
COMMUNITIES ARE COMMUNITIES
WHERE THERE ARE -- THERE MAY
BE AN ABSENCE OF HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS PARTICULARLY AS A
SPECIALTY CARE -- WHERE MAYBE
VERY DISTANCE ARE HARD TO
GET TO AND OF COURSE WE KNOW
FAMILIES ARE ALSO JUGGLING
A LOT OF THINGS TO SELL NOT
HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE TRAVEL
AND ALL THAT THAT CAN BE
ASSOCIATED WITH AN IN PERSON
VISIT IN PERSON VISITS HAVE
THEIR OWN PLACE BUT TELEHEALTH
ALSO AND CERTAINLY IS A
PEDIATRICIAN TO -- YOU KNOW THE
FOUR OF YOU KNOW PEOPLE THINK
VAULTIC BOOK CALL THE -- CALL
FOR ADVICE RATE THEY DON'T NEED
TO HAVE A VISIT IF WE CAN BE
SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THAT
KIND OF ADVICE AS WELL SO WITH
THAT -- CERTAINLY SUPPORTING
YOUR BILL -- WOULD YOU LIKE THE
CLOTHES I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE
IT YOU MAKE A GOOD POINT IT
PROVIDES A DOCTOR AND HE SAID
TO ME HAS CHANGED HIS PRACTICE
TO THE BETTER AND THAT HE HAS
SOME OF THE INITIAL PHONE CALLS
PARTICULAR WITH OUR ELDERLY ON
THE PHONE AND WALK THEM THROUGH
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR
HEALTH CARE AND THEN THEY COME
IN AND THEY'VE ALREADY BUILT
TRUST THOSE WE WANT WITH OUR
HEALTH CARE THE PEOPLE BELIEVE
THEIR DOCTORS THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY'RE GETTING THEIR ANSWERS
AND THEY'RE GETTING FOR HEALTH
TAKING CARE SO I THINK THERE'S
SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT
THIS BILL -- AND YOU KNOW I I
IG I'D BE SILLY NOT TO STATE
I MEAN I'M I'M I'M I JUST NEED
TO SAY TRISH I WANT TO THANK
YOU -- AND THE STAFF YOURSELF

BILL AND I REALLY WANT TO

COMMITTEE FOR ALL THEIR HARD
WORK AB TWENTY FIVE SIXTEEN
WOULD REQUIRE ALL HEALTH
PLANS TO COVER THE HPV VACCINE
WITHOUT ANY COST SHARING
REGARDLESS OF INSURANCE FOR
STATUS ADDITIONALLY IT WOULD
MAKE HPV VACCINE A COVERED
BENEFIT IN THE FAMILY PLANNING
ACCESS CARE AND TREATMENT
FOR KNOWN AS FAMILY PACK
MEDI CAL PROGRAM H.
P.
V.
IS THE MOST COMMON SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED INFECTION IN
THE UNITED STATES THERE ARE
MULTIPLE TYPES OF HPV THAT
CAN LEAD TO DIFFERENT HEALTH
PROBLEMS THE MOST SEVERE OF
WHICH ARE CERVICAL AND OTHER
TYPES OF CANCERS THE COURT
IN THE CENTER OF DISEASE
CONTROL AND PREVENTION MORE
THAN THIRTY SIX THOUSAND NEW
CANCER DIAGNOSIS EACH YEAR
CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO PRIOR
HPV INFECTION IF CURRENT HPV
VACCINATION RECOMMENDATIONS
WERE FOLLOWED THE CDC ESTIMATES
THAT AROUND THIRTY THREE
THOUSAND OF THESE CANCERS
COULD BE AVOIDED AND WHILE
MOST HEALTH INSURERS OFFER
COVERAGE FOR THE H.
P.
VACCINE OF THE PRINTER
PREVENTED OF SERVICE UNDER
THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
SOME REQUIRE PATIENTS TO
COVER SOME OR PART OF THAT
COST WHICH COULD BE UP TO
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS
A DOSE ADDITIONALLY NOT ALL
CALIFORNIANS WHO QUALIFY FOR
FAMILY PACKED WILL BE ABLE TO
OBTAIN FULL SCOPE -- INSURANCE
FAMILY PACK DOES NOT CURRENTLY
COVER ANY VACCINES SO MAKING
HPV VACCINE A COVERED BENEFIT
WILL MAKE IT MORE ACCESSIBLE TO
THOSE WHO WISH TO BE VACCINATED
WELL THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE
PROVIDERS LOCATION FOR OTHER
HEALTH SERVICES AVOIDING DELAYS
TO THIS CRITICAL PREVENTABLE
CARE WITH ME TO TESTIFY TODAY

COMMON SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED
DISEASE AND OVER THIRTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE U.
S.
ANNUALLY ARE AFFECTED BY CANCER
THAT'S CAUSED BY AN H.
P.
V.
INFECTION THESE CANCERS ARE
PREVENTABLE IN FACT MANY
OTHER COUNTRIES WITH HIGH HPV
VACCINE UPTAKE ARE NEARING
EXTINCTION OF CERVICAL
CANCER HOWEVER IN CALIFORNIA
ONLY SIXTY FIVE PERCENT
OF RECOMMENDED INDIVIDUALS
HAVE RECEIVE THE HPV VACCINE
WHICH CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO A
VARIETY OF FACTORS INCLUDING
THAT NOT ALL OF OUR AND STATE
PROGRAMS OR INSURERS ARE
REQUIRED TO COVER THE VACCINE
THIS BILL ROQUE WILL REQUIRE
THE FAMILY TAX PROGRAM A
PROGRAM DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
COMPREHENSIVE FAMILY PLANNING
TO LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS TO
PROVIDE COVERAGE OF THE HPV
VACCINE THIS IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT AS FORTY PERCENT OF
PLANNED PARENTHOOD PATIENTS
IN CALIFORNIA RECEIVE SERVICES
THROUGH THE AFFECT PROGRAM
THESE PATIENTS HOWEVER DO
NOT HAVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO
THE HPV VACCINE WHICH MEANS
PEOPLE OF COLOR PEOPLE WITH LOW
INCOMES AND PATIENTS STRUGGLING

DISPROPORTIONATELY EXPERIENCE
THE EFFECTS OF CERVICAL CANCER
ORAL CANCER AND GENITAL WARTS

DO DURING KEVIN WHAT WAS THE
REASON RENTS TOGETHER BUT WAS
TO VISIT A PROGRAM THAT WAS
USING BUT THE -- THE ROBUST
BERMAN TAURUS MODEL ESPECIALLY
AS IT DEALT WITH MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES AND I WAS THINK SO
INCREDIBLY MOVED AND JUST
INSPIRED WAS ONE THOSE THINGS
THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO GO OUT AND
SEE AND AND FEEL GOOD ABOUT
ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING -- IT
WAS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT
SO DO YOU KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN
AN ASSESSMENT DONE TO SEE HOW
MANY FOLKS ARE FEELING IN THESE
ROLES CURRENTLY AND AND AND
IS THERE AN ESTIMATED AMOUNT
THAT WE KNOW WILL BE NEEDED
OR IS THAT PART OF WHAT YOU
HOPE TO ACHIEVE WITH ONE HOPE

QUESTION YEAH I THINK I'D BE
HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR
OFFICE DIRECTLY ARE WHAT THOSE
NUMBERS AND STAY HERE FOR
QUITE I DON'T KNOW I THINK
WITH COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKER
WORKFORCE IS A PART OF THE
CHALLENGE IN THE SENATE BY
NUMBERS LOOK LIKE AT THIS TIME
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE H.
W.
BUT OUR COUNTIES
WE HAVE MANY BASED
ORGANIZATION WE HAVE EACH W.
EVEN PROVIDE SERVICES THROUGH
OTHER MEANS AND MAY NOT
ACTUALLY HAVE THAT FATAL ALINE
OFFICIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH
WORKER AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS
I WOULD LIKE TO FOLLOW UP WITH
YOUR OFFICE AT BERKELEY --
BUT YOU KNOW AS FAR AS WHAT
THE UNIVERSE WHAT WILL LOOK
LIKE FOR SPEECH THERAPY IS
ANOTHER GOVERNOR HAS NETTED
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN ORDER TO EXPAND
EACH OF YOU WORK FOR A TO AN
ESTIMATED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
MANY HEALTH WORKERS OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AGO WE
CAN CERTAINLY EXPECT THERE
TO BE AN INCREASE IN THE WORK
FORCE AND PART OF THE REASON
WHY WORK OPTING INTO FOR A
WEEK INTRODUCED AB TWENTY
SEVEN BECAUSE WE CAN SEE THAT
THERE IS A NEED TO START TO
BUILD AND BUILD MECHANISMS THAT
ULTIMATELY SUSTAIN THE LONG
TERM INFRASTRUCTURE OF THIS
CRITICAL WORKFORCE THANK YOU

EFFECTIVE -- DELIVERIES WE

CORRECTLY PERCEIVE BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD -- ACTUALLY
WHEN I GOT MY MASTERS OF PUBLIC
HEALTH THE -- MY PROJECT WAS
ACTUALLY ABOUT TRYING TO BRIDGE
THE ESSENTIALLY THE CULTURES
OF THE MEDICAL CULTURE AND
COMMUNITY RIGHT AT THE PATIENTS
AND -- CERTAINLY -- HAVING
CULTURAL BROKERS ESSENTIALLY
LIKE PRO TORS COMMITTEE HEALTH
WORKERS THEY COULD PLAY THAT
ROLE AND I ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE
THAT WHEN IT COMES COMMITTEE
HEALTH WORKERS FROM A TAURUS
IS THAT -- CERTAINLY THEY DO
NEED SOME KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTH
AND HEALTH CARE RIGHT TO TO
TO DO THAT BRIDGE BUT WAS MORE
IMPORTANT AND THE PART WE NEED
TO VALUE WHAT WE'RE PAYING FOR
LIKE IN THE PAYMENT SO FORTH
IS THERE A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SO -- I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED
IT SOMETIMES WE WANT TO PAY
THEM FOR THEIR SERVE HEALTH
EDUCATION AND OTHER TYPES OF
KNOWLEDGE IS ACTUALLY THAT
CAMINO IT'S BEING ABLE TO BE
THAT CULTURAL BROKER AND I
KNOW THAT -- YOUR BUILD OUT
THAT THAT'S THAT THAT'S A
VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THAT
RIGHT AND I WANNA BE SURE THAT
DOESN'T EVER GET LOST BECAUSE
SOMETIMES I THINK WHAT WE'RE
NOT GONNA SUPPORT WITH THAT
CREDENTIAL ALL THESE THINGS
AND THERE'S ALSO A CERTAIN
ROLE WE NEED TO BE SURE THAT
WE HAVE -- THAT THEY HAVE A
GOOD CAREER PATH AND SO FORTH
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT BUT THAT
-- -- THAT WHAT WE VALUE MOST
IS THEIR ABILITY TO BRIDGE THE
CULTURES TO NOTE THE CALL THE
CALL COMMITTEE CULTURE SO AGAIN

ABOUT IT HAPPENED OVER THE
LAST TWO YEARS WHICH IS PEOPLE
AS WE'VE ALREADY HEARD FROM
OUR COLLEAGUE SENATOR MELENDEZ
WHO'VE SUFFERED FROM MENTAL
ILLNESS IN A TIME WHEN IT HAS
BEEN INCREDIBLY HARD TO GET
SUPPORT AND THEY HAVE TURNED
TO MENTAL HEALTH APPS AND IN
THE PROCESS OF DOING SO THEY'VE
ANSWERED QUESTIONS LIKE WHAT
SURGERIES ARE HOSPITALIZATIONS
HAVE YOU HAVE AT HOW OFTEN IN
THE LAST YEAR HE HAD FIVE OR
MORE ALCOHOLIC DRINKS ON ONE
OCCASION WHICH MENTAL HEALTH
CONDITIONS HAVE MEMBERS OF YOUR
FAMILY BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ON A
SCALE OF ONE TO THREE HOW OFTEN
DO YOU FEEL AS IF SOMETHING
TERRIBLE MIGHT HAPPEN IF YOU
ANSWERED ANY OF THESE QUESTIONS
TO A PHYSICIAN OR LICENSED
THERAPIST IT WOULD BE PROTECTED
UNDER HIPAA BUT IF YOU ANSWER
THESE QUESTIONS TO CONNECT TO
PROVIDER THROUGH AN APP YOUR

LEGALLY SELL THIS INFORMATION

ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PANDEMIC
THEY MENTION THE ONLINE MENTAL
HEALTH CARE SPACES EXPLODED AS
MANY AS TWENTY THOUSAND APPS
EXIST IN THIS CATEGORY GLOBALLY
FIRST THESE COMPANIES WILL
TARGET THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS
INDIVIDUALS BASED OFF OF A
PROBABLE DIAGNOSIS AND THEN
THE APPS REQUIRE A DETAILED
SURVEY WITH QUESTIONS LIKE
THE ONES I'VE MENTIONED TO
THE CONTAIN HIGHLY SENSITIVE
INFORMATION WE'VE SEEN DATA
SHARED WITH THESE APPS SHOW
UP ACROSS THE INTERNET AND
EVEN SOLD TO THIRD PARTIES A
STUDY OF THE THIRTY SIX TOP
RANKED APPS FOR DEPRESSION AND
SMOKING FROM THE TWENTY NINE OF
THEM TRANSMITTED DATA SERVICES
PROVIDED BY FACEBOOK OR GOOGLE
IT IS CRITICAL TO ENSURE IT
PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING CARE
THEY KNOW HOW THEIR DATA IS
SHARED AND HOW IT IS PROTECTED
IF AT ALL THIS BILL SIMPLY
EQUALIZE THE PROTECTIONS FOR
DATA THAT CONNECTS PATIENTS
TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE BY

HELLO BOTH THESE BEGIN
I THINK THE SENATE AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE FOR GIVING
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK

MEAN IT'S OFTEN QUESTION THE
CALIFORNIA PROGRAM DIRECTOR
FOR SMALL BUSINESS MAJORITY
SMALL BUSINESS MAJORITY
THE NATIONAL SMALL BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION WITH OFFICES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA SENATE
PRIMERICA'S DIVERSE COMMUNITIES
TO BUILD A THRIVING AND
EQUITABLE ECONOMY WE ENGAGE
OUR NETWORK OF MORE THAN FIVE
THOUSAND SMALL BUSINESSES IN
FIFTEEN HUNDRED BUSINESSES
AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
EDUCATE ENTREPRENEURS AN
ADVOCATE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
SOLUTIONS THAT PROMOTE
INCLUSIVE SMALL BUSINESS
GROWTH OUR WORK IS BACKED BY
EXTENSIVE RESEARCH THAT ENABLES
US TO ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS
ABOUT ISSUES IMPACTING
CALIFORNIAN ENTREPRENEURS WITH
A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE SMALL
BUSINESSES IN THOSE FACING
SYSTEMATIC EQUITIES WE'RE
PLEASED TO SUPPORT E.
EIGHTY EIGHTEEN SEVENTY EIGHT
AS AN IMPROVE THE PORTABILITY
FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
LOW AND MODERATE INCOME
ENTREPRENEURS AND SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS AT A TIME
WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST MORE
THAN HALF OF ALL ACA ENROLLEES
NATIONWIDE ARE SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS SMALL BUSINESS EMPLOYEES
OR SELF EMPLOYED INDIVIDUALS
AND THERE ARE OVER FOUR MILLION
SMALL BUSINESSES THAT MAKE UP
NINETY NINE PERCENT OF TOTAL
BUSINESSES IN OUR GREAT STATE
BUT RECENT FEDERAL ACTIONS MAKE
HEALTH CARE MORE AFFORDABLE

WE URGE YOU TO TAKE ACTION
TO REDUCE OUT OF POCKET COSTS
THAT ARE HINDERING INTERVIEWER
SHIPS IN OUR GREAT STATE THE
NEED FOR AFFORDABILITY AMONG
CALIFORNIA ENTREPRENEURS
IS GROWING SEVEN POINT TWO
MILLION WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA
DEPEND ON JOBS PROVIDED BY
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS BUT
ACCORDING TO OUR RESEARCH MORE
THAN ONE IN THREE OR THIRTY
FOUR PERCENT SMALL BUSINESSES
REPORTED IN A CHALLENGE THAT
THE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE
FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR
EMPLOYEES DURING THE PANDEMIC
SIXTEEN PERCENT REPORTED
THAT THEY CONSIDERED REDUCING
HEALTHCARE COVERAGE IN ORDER
TO KEEP THEIR BUSINESSES OPEN
AND ENTREPRENEURS OF COLOR
WERE MORE LIKELY TO INDICATE
MAKING THIS CHANGE STRONG
AND AFFORDABLE MARKETPLACE IS
ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA'S ENTREPRENEURS AB
EIGHTEEN SEVENTY EIGHT IS A
CENTRAL FOR NETWORK BECAUSE
THE MEDIAN INCOME FOR A SMALL
BUSINESS OWNER WITHIN PLEASES

DO SO BECAUSE THEY'RE FIGHTING
FOR A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR
THEMSELVES THEIR CO WORKERS AND

BE CATASTROPHIC WE'RE SHOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO CUT OFF HEALTH
INSURANCE FOR WORKERS AND THEIR

THEIR PENSIONS BUT AFTER THIRTY
DAYS OF BEING ON STRIKE THE

L.
W.
YOU THE INTERNATIONAL
LONGSHOREMEN WHO PAID THE
PREMIUMS FOR ANY OF THE MEMBERS
WHO HAD CANCER AND WE'RE GOING
THROUGH CANCER TREATMENT -- BUT
IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY AND
WE KNOW THE PART OF THE REASON
WE'RE OUT SO LONG AS THAT WE
WERE BEING WAITED OUT AND THEY
FIGURED PEOPLE WOULD ULTIMATELY
ACCEPT ABOUT CONTRACT BECAUSE
THEY NEED THEIR HEALTHCARE BACK
SO THIS IS A GREAT BILL THANK
YOU VERY MUCH I WOULD MOVE IT
WHEN WE HAVE A QUORUM SUNDAY
RIGHT THANK YOU HAVE A QUESTION
THE COMMENTS SAYING NONE --
THROUGH WOOD -- SO I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD CERTAINLY SUPPORT
THAT THE -- THE THE PURPOSE
OF THIS BILL -- WE NEED TO BE
SURE IT'S AND I'M A PROUD UNION
MEMBER AND -- I BELIEVE THAT
-- CERTAINLY WORKERS SHOULD
NOT HAVE TO SUFFER THE LOSS
OF THEIR HEALTHCARE COVERAGE
-- FOR EXERCISING DELIBERATES
SO THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT --
THERE IS A ONE CONCERN I DO
HAVE ABOUT THE BILL AND I KNOW
THAT CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
LABOR COMMUNITY ABOUT THIS
-- BUT -- IS IS SORT OF THE
THE FINANCING PART WHICH -- I
PLAY IS WHERE IT'S COMING OUT
OF THE ESSENTIALLY THE FUNDS
THAT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT FOR
HELPING OUT PEOPLE ARE COVERED
CALIFORNIA AND -- THAT YOU KNOW
IF WHICH ONE BE CAREFUL THAT
WE CERTAINLY WANT TO BE SURE
STRIKING WORKERS GET HEALTH
CARE COVERAGE WE ALSO NEED
TO OF COURSE BE SURE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING PARTISAN COVER
CALIFORNIA THAT WILL KEEP THAT
AFFORDABLE SO THE YEAH THAT'S
WHAT WE BOTH THE DOES MAYOR
BILLS -- -- SO I IS TRULY
HOPE THAT THIS A COMMUNITY
CONVERSATION ABOUT YOU KNOW
BEING SURE THAT WE SHOULD
BE ABLE TO DO BOTH RIGHT WE
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO BE WE HELP
TENSIONING ONE AGAINST THE
OTHER YEAH AGAINST THE OTHER
MOST THE TIME I CERTAINLY
HOPE BY THE WAY FIRST OF ALL
I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT PEOPLE
COME TO THE TABLE AND NO ONE
ACTUALLY HAS TO GO ON STRIKE
NOW WE KNOW THAT I'M FORTY
DOESN'T HAPPEN RIGHT AND AND
AND SO SO IDEALLY THAT'S WHAT
SHOULD HAPPEN IN WHICH CASE WE
DON'T REALLY NEED TO USE THESE
FUNDS ARE OURS IT'S A VERY
RARE EVENT AND -- -- -- BUT
UNFORTUNATELY ALSO KNOW THAT
UNFORTUNATELY DOESN'T ALWAYS
HAPPEN EITHER AND I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE WE DON'T CREATE A
SITUATION WHERE ARE NOW FULLY
FUNDS AWAY TO HELP OUT BEFORE
BUYING SO I THINK THAT'S A
MORE LONG TERM CONVERSATION
TO HAVE ABOUT HOW WE FINANCE
BUT -- CERTAINLY -- YOU DON'T
SUPPORTING THE BILL -- -- IS
IT IS -- TODAY IS A MOVES ON
AND MAYBE PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE
THEY MIGHT BE YOU MAY WORK ON
SOME SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD FIX
THIS IN THE FUTURE SO THAT
WE CAN WE CAN IDENTIFY AS A
AS A SOURCE OF FUNDS -- THAT
DOESN'T PULL LATE MONEY FROM
OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO LOOKING
TO GET ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE
SO WITH THAT AGAIN REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT IT IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT BILL WE NEED TO BE
SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS
TO TO TO TO TO THAT THEY DON'T
GET TO HEALTH CARE REMOVED
JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE EXERCISING
THEIR RIGHTS -- WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE BUDGET THANK YOU FOR
YOUR COMMENTS I APPRECIATE THAT
AND -- AND AND WE APPRECIATE
AND WILL CONSIDER THE OFC
THE CON GOING CONVERSATIONS
AROUND THE FINANCING PIECE OF
IT MY HOPE IS THAT THIS IS THE
THIS IS A HUGE DETERRENT AND
THAT WE NEVER FACED WITH THIS
EARLIER THIS YEAR WE WERE --
POTENTIALLY FACE WITH THIS WAS
STANFORD'S SANFORD HEALTH CARE
THREATENING TO FULL MEDICAL
INSURANCE FROM THEIR NURSES
-- WHICH WAS I'M I'M SORRY
ENCONTRABA FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
AND SO SO HOPEFULLY THIS
BECOMES A HUGE DETERRENT AND --
WORKERS CAN BE PROTECTED THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL IS ALL ABOUT
EXCELLENT ALL RIGHT WELL WE'RE
STILL WAITING FOR A QUORUM SO
BUT -- LET'S MOVE ON THEN LET'S
GO BACK TO ITEM NUMBER THIRTEEN
EIGHTY TWENTY SEVENTY NINE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH -- THANK
YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS FIRST
LET ME THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
THE WORK ON THIS BILL EXCEPT
THE AMENDMENTS AS DESCRIBED IN
THE ANALYSIS THIS BILL REQUIRES
A FACILITY TO SPEND EIGHTY FIVE
PERCENT OF ITS TOTAL REVENUES
ON DIRECT PATIENT CARE FUNCTION
THE SAME WAY THAT INSURANCE
COMPANIES ARE ALREADY REQUIRED
TO PUT EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT
OF REVENUES INTO PATIENT CARE
THROUGH THE USE OF MEDICAL
LOSS RATIOS CORE ML OURS DIRECT
PATIENT CARE INCLUDES THINGS
LIKE STAFFING WAGES BENEFITS
AND THERAPY THINGS THAT
DIRECTLY BENEFIT A RESIDENT OF
A NURSING HOME NON DIRECT CARE

EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT SPENDING
REQUIREMENT AND INCLUDES
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS EXECUTIVE
WAGES PAYMENTS TO MANAGEMENT
COMPANIES HOME OFFICE EXPENSES
FOR PARENT COMPANIES AND

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM TO TRAIN
STUDENTS TO PERFORM ABORTIONS
NOT DELIVERY NOT OBGYN SERVICES
TESTABLE RUSSIANS SO WHAT
EXACTLY WILL THE STUDENTS
BE LEARNING TO DO WHAT IS
AN ABORTION SECOND TRIMESTER
ABORTIONS HAPPEN BETWEEN
THIRTEEN AND TWENTY EIGHT WEEKS
GESTATION DR ANTHONY LEVITT
TINO A PRACTICING OBGYN WHO HAS
PERFORMED OVER TWELVE HUNDRED
ABORTIONS DESCRIBES A D.
ANY SECOND TRIMESTER ABORTION
AS FOLLOWS OVER SEVERAL DAYS
THAT THE WOMAN'S CERVIX IS
FORCED OPEN USING CHEMICAL
LAMINARIA AND METAL TOOLS
INSERTED INTO THE ONCE THE
CERVIX IS FORCED OPEN THE
ABORTIONIST INSERTS A CATHETER
TO RUPTURE THE AMNIOTIC SAC AND
USE SUCTION TO DRAIN OUT THE
AMNIOTIC FLUID IN THE SECOND
TRIMESTER THE BABY IS TOO BIG
TO FIT THROUGH A CATHETER SO
THE BABY'S BODY IS ALREADY
SEVEN INCHES LONG THE LENGTH
OF A REGULAR IPHONE FROM HEAD
TO RUMP NOT COUNTING THE LEGS
THE BABY'S BONES AND SKULLS
ARE TOO STRONG TO BE TORN
APART BY SECTION ALONE SO THE
ABORTIONIST USES A SPECIAL LONG
METAL CLAMP WITH ROWS OF SHARP
METAL TEETH HE INSERTS THIS
THIRTEEN INCH LONG METAL CLAMP
IN TO GRASP THE BABY'S ARM OR A
LEG ONCE HE HAS A FIRM GLASS P.
MUST PULL REALLY HARD TO TEAR
OFF THE BABY'S LEG OR ARM
THE ABORTION IS DONE WITHOUT
ULTRASOUND SO HE RE INSERTS
THE CLAMP AND GRASS FOR ANOTHER
LEG OR ARM ONE AT A TIME HE
TEARS OFF THE LIMBS WHILE THE
BABY IS ALIVE THEN HE GRABS AND
PULLS OUT THE INTESTINES THE
HEART THE LUNGS AND SPINE BUT
HE'S NOT DONE THE BABY'S HEAD
IT IS THE SIZE OF A PROMINENT
WON'T FIT THROUGH THE CERVIX
SO THE ABORTIONIST MUST GRASP
THE SKULL AND CRUSH IT HE KNOWS
HE'S CRUSHED IT WHEN HE SEES A
WHITE SUBSTANCE LOSING OUT OF
THE CERVIX THAT'S THE BABY'S
BRAINS HE REMOVES PIECES OF
THE SKULL THE PLACENTA AND
ALSO SCRAPES THE LINING OF THE
UTERUS TO REMOVE ANY REMAINING
TISSUE THAT HE RESEMBLES THE
BABY'S BODY ON A TRAY TO MAKE
SURE HE GOT IT ALL TWO ARMS
TWO LEGS AND ALL THE ORGANS AND
PIECES FROM THE TORSO AND SKULL
THIS IS THE PROCEDURE YOUR AYE
VOTE ON AB NINETEEN EIGHTEEN
WILL FUND TEACHING STUDENTS
HOW TO PERFORM THIS GRUESOME
PROCEDURE ON LIVE FETUSES
WHO HAVE BEEN SEEN IN VIDEOS
TRYING TO DODGE THE INSTRUMENTS
OR WRITHING IN PAIN FROM THE
PROCEDURE SILENTLY SCREAMING IN
THE WOMB THERE ARE ALSO MAJOR
RISKS TO THE WOMAN DURING THE
ABORTION PROCESS PREPARATION
OR LACERATION OF THE UTERUS OR
THE CERVIX POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO
THE WOMAN'S BOWELS BLADDER AND
OTHER MATERNAL ORGANS INFECTION
AND HEMORRHAGE CAN ALSO OCCUR
WHICH CAN LEAD TO THE MOTHER'S
DEATH ABORTION INCREASES
THE RISK OF FUTURE PREGNANCY
COMPLICATIONS AND PREGNANCY
LOSS OR PREMATURE DELIVERY DUE
TO ABORTION RELATED TRAUMA TO
THE CERVIX ABORTION ENDS THE
LIFE OF A CHILD IN A GRUESOME
BARBARIC PROCESS AND RISKS
THE MOTHER'S HEALTH WHY ARE
WE FUNDING SCHOLARSHIPS TO
TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO PERFORM
MORE ABORTIONS INSTEAD OF FULL

WITNESS SURE THERE'S SOMEONE
ELSE TO SIGNAL THEY WISH TO
SPEAK THANK YOU FOR BRING IT
BACK TO COMMITTEE QUESTIONS
COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
OKAY YES CENTER GROVE SO JUST
FIRST A QUICK STATEMENT AND
GAZED UP BY THE SUPREME COURT
FOR THE THREE GREAT DECISIONS
THAT THEY PASSED DOWN THIS
WEEKEND ONE OF THE MOST SICK
-- RELEGATING THE DECISION OF
ABORTION BACK TO THE STATES
WHICH IS WHERE IT BELONGS
BECAUSE NOT A CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT AND I THINK THAT -- THAT
WAS ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS
THAT THEY MADE THE SECOND THING
I HAVE IS -- THAT IS SIMPLY
WOMAN THROUGH THE CHAIR I GUESS
IS IT -- ARE YOU AWARE OF --
MEDICAL DOCTORS THAT WE ARE
IN SHORTAGE OF IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WE TEND TO HAVE WHAT I
WOULD THINK CAN MY COLLEAGUE
STOCKS STARTED I BELIEVE A
GREAT CAREER WITH ME ON -- I
DISAGREE THAT RULE HEALTH CARE
IS DIFFERENT THAN HEALTH CARE
IN MAJOR METROPOLITAN CITY
CITIES WE DON'T HAVE LIKE SAN
FRANCISCO FACILITIES ARE LOS
ANGELES FACILITIES AND -- THE
THINGS THAT MY CONSTITUENTS
CONTACT ME ON AND I JUST GOT
A TEXT MESSAGE TODAY WITH
PHOTOGRAPHS OF -- AN INDIVIDUAL
-- LANE HIS OWN FECES BC'S
MIXTURES TO -- IT'S IT'S REAL
HEALTH CARE THAT'S THE BEST
WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT DO YOU
KNOW HOW MANY CARDIOLOGISTS
WERE SHORT IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THERE'S CERTAINLY A
HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE SHORTAGE
ALL ACROSS THE STATE AND IS IS
YOU SAID IS PARTICULARLY ACUTE
IN OUR RURAL AREAS AND I'M
CERTAINLY GLAD IT'S NOT UNIQUE
TO THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
CARE SPACE BUT IT'S ALSO A
VERY IMPORTANT SHORTAGE IN THAT
SPHERE SEVEN THOUSAND EIGHTY
CARDIOLOGY SHORTAGES THAT
WE NEED FOR HEALTH CARE WHAT
ABOUT -- OPHTHALMOLOGY ARE YOU
AWARE OF THE SHORTAGE NUMBER
IN THAT AREA I AM NOT A CENTER
SIX THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY WHAT ABOUT ORTHOPEDIC
SURGERY MY ASSUMPTION IS
THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS THAT
WERE SHORT THOUSANDS FIVE
FIVE PRACTITIONERS AND IN ALL
THE FIELDS THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO ASK ME ABOUT AND I WOULD
WELCOME THE OPPORTUNITY AS I
IMAGINE MANY YOU KNOW IT IN
OUR BODY WOULD TO WORK WITH
YOU ON FUTURE LEGISLATION TO
HELP ADDRESSES HEALTH CARE
WORKFORCE SHORTAGES THANK YOU
AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY THERE'S
FIVE THOUSAND FIFTY WHAT ABOUT
UROLOGY SERVICEELECT THREE
THIRTY THREE THOUSAND SIX
HUNDRED AND THIRTY -- THERE'S
ALSO I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU
THE TOP TEN BUT I CAN HEAR
THAT JENNIFER IS ANNOYED WITH
MY QUESTION SO I'LL MOVE ON --
THE ISSUE THAT I'M TRYING TO
-- THAT THE POINT I'M TRYING
TO MAKE IS THAT AS THERE IS
AN ABORTION CLINIC -- IT YEAR
OF THE PORTIONS THAT COLLEGES
COLLEGE CAMPUS THERE'S ALMOST
AN ABORTION CLINIC ON EVERY
CORNER IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD
PREDOMINATELY BLACK AND
BROWN COMMUNITIES WHICH IS
INTERESTING TO ME THAT THERE
ARE ABORTION CLINICS THAT ARE
THEATER THERE AND AND THAT'S
THAT'S INTERESTING TO ME AS
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THE --
FOUNDER OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD
WAS A KNOWN RACIST AND --
PLANNED PARENTHOOD PROVIDES
MOST OF THE ABORTIONS THAT ARE
IN OUR STATE AND ACROSS THE
NATION BUT COMPLETED THIRTEEN
STATES THAT TRIGGER LAWS THAT
HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BUILD
OPERATE IN THE STATE'S ANYMORE
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND EVEN WITH
ALL THESE MEDICAL SHORTAGES
OF CARDIOLOGY OPHTHALMOLOGY
ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY UROLOGY
GENERAL SURGERY -- YOU KNOW
NEUROSURGERY ALL OF THOSE
THINGS THAT WE NEED HERE IN
THIS STATE IT'S ALMOST AS IF
THIS BILL IS GOING TO FOCUS ON
BRINGING CHEST ABORTION CARE
MORE ABORTION CARE TO THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA OR TRAINING I
GUESS YOU WOULD SAY -- AND IT'S
LIKE DURING COVERED WE HAVE
THOSE DRIVE IT TENDS ON EVERY
CORNER WE COULD JUST GO GET A
TEST WHENEVER YOU WANTED IT I
MEAN IT'S LIKE AND THAT'S THAT
SEEMS TO ME TO BE THE INTENT
OF YOUR BILL TO PUT AN ABORTION
CLINIC ON LIKE A DRIVE AT TEN
IN A COMBAT SITUATION WHERE YOU
COULD JUST YOU KNOW GO THERE'S
SO MANY OF THEM ARE READY AND
CALIFORNIA THE DATA SHOWS THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS MORE ABORTION
CLINICS IN ANY OTHER STATE THE
NATION SUE AND INTERESTED TO
CLARIFY A COUPLE POINTS TO --
IN ACTUAL FACT FORTY PERCENT
FORTY PERCENT OF CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES DON'T HAVE A SINGLE
ABORTION PROVIDER AND I THINK
ALSO TO CLARIFY A POINT THAT
WAS ERRONEOUSLY MADE BY THE
OPPOSITION THIS IS NOT THIS
BILL IS NOT ABOUT JUST FINDING
PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY GOING TO
PROVIDE ABORTION SERVICES THIS
IS ABOUT SUPPORTING SCHOLARS
WHO ARE PURSUING CAREERS IN
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE AND
INCLUDE ABORTION TRAINING AND
ABORTION SERVICE PROVISION
AS PART OF THE WORK THEY
DO PROVIDING COMPREHENSIVE
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE
I THINK WHICH INCLUDES
MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT AND
ABORTION CARE HE SAID FORTY
PERCENT OF THE COUNTIES IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA DON'T HAVE
ONE ABORTION CLINIC CORRECT
SO YOU'RE FIFTY EIGHT COUNTIES
YOUR SEATS ARE AWFULLY WHAT
TWENTY THREE OF THEM TWENTY
TWO OF THEM DON'T HAVE -- DO
YOU KNOW THOSE TWENTY TWO I'D
BE CURIOUS ABOUT IT I DON'T
KNOW THAT I CAN PROVIDE MY
OFFICE WOULD BE VERY HAPPY
TO PROVIDE TRAVIS I'D LIKE
THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A TRUE STATEMENT THAT
WAS SOME OF THE ODD THAT THE
SOME OF THAT WORK THAT WAS
DONE BY THE FACT COUNCIL AND
SOME OF THE RESEARCH THAT WAS
DONE TO IDENTIFY PRIORITIES TO
ENSURE THAT WE'RE PROTECTING
AND EXPANDING ACCESS TO
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO
VERY HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT AND
I I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH
I'D REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THAT
AND THEN -- YOU KNOW I REALIZE
WHAT THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
CALIFORNIA'S GONNA TAKE THIS
SUBJECT MATTER TO THE EXTREME
-- AND -- GOOD EVEN TO THE
EXTENT OF VIOLATING RULES OF
OTHER STATES TO ACCOMMODATE --
INDIVIDUALS COMING FROM THOSE
STATES FOR THE STATES HAVE
OUTLAWED IT AND BUT I JUST
THINK THAT -- YOU KNOW AND I
APPLAUD THAT THE OPPOSITION
TO DESCRIBE YOU KNOW IT HURTS
MY HEART AND I ALMOST CRIED
BECAUSE -- IT IS A LIFE AND THE
DIFFERENCE IS IS THAT I BELIEVE
IT'S A LIFE YOU DON'T AND SO
I GUESS I JUST HAVE TO TELL
YOU THAT I'M OPPOSE YOUR PIECE
OF LEGISLATION THAT SOMETHING
THAT'S NOT I MEAN THAT'S NOT
A REAL SURPRISE BUT -- I -- I
MEAN IT'S JUST VERY FRUSTRATING
THAT THIS IS A ZERO SUM GAME
THAT YOU KNOW THE POLICIES
THAT ARE BEING PASSED INCLUDING
YOUR POLICY THAT'S BEFORE US
HERE TODAY IS -- ADDRESSING A
SINGLE SUBJECT ISSUE WHEN THERE
ARE AT LEAST TOP TEN OTHER
MEDICAL ISSUES WHERE PEOPLE ARE
STRUGGLING AND TO BE ABLE TO
GET ADEQUATE HEALTH CARE AND SO
-- AGAIN I'M IMPOSING YOUR BILL
STATEMENT THANK YOU FOR LETTING
ME ASK A QUESTION YES THANK
YOU OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS THE BILL
HAS ALREADY MOVED A SCENE NO
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS --
SUMMER PENSIONERS -- RESHOOT
-- YEAH THANK YOU FOR DOING
THE BILL -- ACTUALLY THE THE
THE DISTRIBUTION OF -- --
FIVE CLINICS THAT ACTUALLY CAN
PROVIDE ABORTION SERVICES HAS
BEEN ACTUALLY RECENTLY REPORTED
ON BY -- AND AND THEN I I
DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE NUMBERS
YOU CITED A ONE STEP THAT
THEY FOUND IN THEIR REPORTING
INVESTIGATION -- US INTO THE
ANOTHER THING THAT WAS REPORTED
WAS THAT ACTUALLY THERE ARE
NO MORE SO CALLED PREGNANCY
SERVICE CENTER STATEMENT THEY
FOUND BRIGHT MISINFORMATION
ABOUT ABORTION AND AND IN FACT
SEE CARE THAN THERE ACTUALLY
SITES THAT PROVIDE ABORTION
THE READ MORE OF THOSE SO --
I THINK THE THE REAL CHALLENGE
HAS RISEN FOURTEEN WITH THE --
IT RULING IS IS THAT -- THERE'S
A MEDICAL EDUCATOR MYSELF
I RAN A RESIDENCY TRAINING
PROGRAM AND TALKING TO MY
OBGYN COLLEAGUES WHO ARE DOING
RESIDENCIA RESIDUE TRAINING AND
THEN OF COURSE WE TALKED THAT
SERVICE FOR PHYSICIANS AND WE
ALSO HAVE OTHER PROVIDERS AS
WELL IS THAT ACTUALLY THEY'RE
VERY CONCERNED THAT -- OUR
FUTURE OF SURGERY GYNECOLOGISTS
AS WELL AS WELL THERE'S THERE'S
PRACTITIONERS -- AND I GOT
THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THE
SKILLS THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE
TO TAKE CARE OF WOMEN WHO ARE
PREGNANT INCLUDING BY THE WAY
ONCE YOU HAVE MISCARRIAGES THE
THE PROCEDURES ARE ESSENTIALLY
THE SAME -- AND -- I ALSO APPLY
TO MAKE NOTE OF THAT -- THAT
ACTUALLY THE STATISTICS VERY
CLEARLY SHOW THAT -- YOU KNOW
ACTUALLY BEING PREGNANT HAVING
TO BEAR A CHILD ALTHOUGH OF
COURSE MANY WOMEN ACCEPT THAT
RISK IS ACTUALLY MORE DANGEROUS
AND HAS A HIGHER MORTALITY
RATE THAN HAVING AN ABORTION
OUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE A FACTOR
IN THIS BUT THAT IS STATUS
TRUE THAT SO -- SO WHEN PEOPLE
ARE MAKING DECISIONS I WOULD
TALK ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE
WOMAN -- THERE THERE IS THAT
THAT THAT RISKS WE HAVE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE AS WELL SO -- BUT
I THINK FUNDAMENTALLY WE WANNA
BE SURE EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO
QUALITY HEALTHCARE FOR WHATEVER
DECISION THEY WANT TO MAKE
AND THAT MEANS WE NEED TO HAVE
WELL TRAINED PRACTITIONERS WHO
KNOWS YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW TO
PERFORM HE SAYS YOU KNOW HOW
TO PROVIDE THE CARE AND PERFORM
THE PROCEDURES ARE NECESSARY
TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE
OF THE OF THE OF THAT PERSON
AND -- SO CERTAINLY I THINK
THIS IS GOING TO BE IMPORTANT
TO DO SO ESPECIALLY SINCE WE
KNOW THAT TRAINING WILL BE
LIMITED AND ALMOST HALF OUR
COUNTRY PERHAPS EVEN MORE
HALF OUR COUNTRY BECAUSE OF
OF WHAT'S RECENTLY HAPPENED
THIS EARLY ON IN SUPPORT OF
YOUR BILL -- WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE IN THE THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR WE ALL RECOGNIZE THAT
FIVE ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM PRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS ARE UNDER ASSAULT AND
WE RECOGNIZE THAT CALIFORNIA

INSURING THAT WOMEN IN AMERICA
WOMEN IN CALIFORNIA HAVE ACCESS
TO FUNDAMENTAL FUNDAMENTAL
AND BASIC HEALTH CARE WHICH
INCLUDES REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
CARE AND INCLUDES ABORTION
CARE AND -- WE ALSO RECOGNIZE
THAT THAT RIGHTS WITHOUT
ACCESS DON'T MEAN A DAMN THING

THIS PAST WEEK THE UNITED
STATES OVERTURNED ROE V.
WADE BY DOING THIS THEY
STRIPPED BIRTHING PEOPLE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY OF A LIFE
CHANGING FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
OTHER BIRTHING PEOPLE HAVE
ACCESS TO ABORTION NOW IT'S
UP TO THE STATES THIS FOR ME
IS TERRIFYING IN THE PAST YEAR
MULTIPLE STATES HAVE RAMPED
UP THEIR ANTI ABORTION EFFORTS
AND PASSED LAWS TARGETING
OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO
AN ABORTION LAST YEAR ALONE
A HUNDRED EIGHT ABORTION
RESTRICTIONS WERE ENACTED IN
NINETEEN STATES THIS INCLUDES
TEXAS WHERE THEIR MOST RECENT
ANTI ABORTION LAW ENCOURAGES
PRIVATE CITIZENS TO ACT AS
BOUNTY HUNTERS TO SEEK OUT
AND TO THOSE WHO HAVE PROVIDED
ANY FORM OF SUPPORT TO PEOPLE
SEEKING AN ABORTION INCLUDING
THEIR DOCTOR THEIR NURSE A
FRIEND TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT
WHETHER TO GET AN ABORTION
EVEN THEIR COOPER DRIVER
STATES ARE CONTINUING TO
FOLLOW TEXAS LEAD JUST THIS
PAST MONTH OKLAHOMA'S GOVERNOR
SIGNED A LAW THAT OUTRIGHT
BANS ABORTION AND LEAVES
ENFORCEMENT UP TO THE PRIVATE
CITIZENS BE A CIVIL SUITS IT
IS ESSENTIAL NOW MORE THAN
EVER THAT WE IMPROVE ABORTION
ACCESS AND STRENGTHEN PRIVACY
PROTECTIONS FOR THOSE SEEKING
SENSITIVE SERVICES PEOPLE
ARE ALREADY AND WILL COME AND
CONTINUE TO COME TO CALIFORNIA
TO SEEK REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
CARE HOWEVER WE WORRY THAT
OUT OF STATE PRIVATE CITIZENS
AND ACTORS WILL DEMAND THE
MEDICAL RECORDS OF THOSE WHO
SEEK CARE TO PUNISH THEM FOR
EXERCISING THEIR FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHTS HERE IN CALIFORNIA
NO ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
MANIPULATE CALIFORNIA'S LEGAL
SYSTEM TO TARGET AND PUNISH
PEOPLE WHO SEE CARE AND REFUGE
HERE AB TWENTY NINETY ONE WILL
ENSURE OUT OF STATE SUBPOENAS
WHICH SEEK INFORMATION RELATED
TO A PATIENT WHO RECEIVED
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE HERE
IN CALIFORNIA ARE NOT GRANTED
BY DOING THIS CALIFORNIA WILL
PROTECT THE MEDICAL PRIVACY
OF THOSE PATIENTS WHO MAY BE
TARGETED BY HOSTILE LAWS IN
OTHER STATES AB TWENTY ONE
NINETY ONE ALSO INTERESTED TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE
CAN ENFORCE VIOLATIONS
OF THE RELEASE OF MEDICAL
RECORDS RELATED TO SENSITIVE
SERVICES AB TWENTY NINETY ONE
CONTINUES THE LEGISLATURE'S
WORK OF PROTECTING PRIVACY
AND CONFIDENTIALITY OF
LGBTQ PLUS PEOPLE AND THEIR
MEDICAL INTERCONVERSION
THE LGBTQ PLUS Q.
COMMUNITY IS DIRECTLY IMPACTED
BY LAWS THAT UNDERMINE
ABORTION CARE WHICH COMPOUND
LONGSTANDING BARRIERS TO
INCLUSIVE CARE AND EXACERBATE
NEGATIVE HEALTH DISPARITIES
CALIFORNIA MUST PROACTIVELY
PROTECT THE CONFIDENTIALITY
OF MEDICAL RECORDS OF EVERYONE
AS WE SEE STATES AROUND
THE COUNTRY PAVING THE WAY
TO USE THOSE RECORDS TO
ENFORCE THEIR OWN STATES ANTI
ABORTION LAWS THANK YOU AND AS
WITNESS WITH ME TODAY I HAVE
LISA MATSUBARA WITH PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AFFILIATES OF
CALIFORNIA A CO SPONSOR OF THIS
BILL OKAY WELCOME TO MINUTES

OPERATING OVER A HUNDRED HEALTH
CENTERS LAST WEEK THE U.

SUPREME COURT OVERTURN ROE
VERSUS WADE TAKING AWAY THE
CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS
THE RIGHT TO ABORTION FOR
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY AS OF THIS MORNING
ABORTION IS BANNED IN SEVEN
STATES DOWN FROM NINE EARLIER
THIS WEEK THANKS TO THE WORK
OF MY COLLEAGUES IN ADVOCATES
FIGHTING TO BLOCK TRIGGER B.
AS IN LOUISIANA AND UTAH AND
ALLOWING ABORTION TO RESUME IN
THE STATE'S FOR NOW WE EXPECT
BANDS TO GO INTO EFFECT IN MORE
STATES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
WITHOUT THE PROTECTIONS UNDER
RO ANTI ABORTION LEGISLATORS
ARE NOW FREE TO ENACT HARMFUL
AND DANGEROUS LAWS TARGETING
ABORTION PROVIDERS AND PREGNANT
PEOPLE THAT WOULD TARGET NOT
JUST A PROVIDERS BUT PATIENTS
AND PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE
PATIENTS ACCESS CARE NOT JUST
IN THEIR HOME STATES BUT IF
THEY SEE CARE AND OTHER STATES
LIKE CALIFORNIA I'M DEVASTATED
ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE COURT'S
DECISION IS HAVING ON PEOPLE
NO LONGER HAVE THE ABILITY
TO EXERCISE THEIR BASIC HUMAN
RIGHTS TO MAKE HEALTHCARE
DECISIONS THAT ARE BEST FOR
THEM THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR
CIRCUMSTANCES THESE BANDS AND
I PEOPLE TIMELY ACCESS TO CARE
AND WILL DISPROPORTIONATELY
HARM PEOPLE WHO ARE FACING
SYSTEMIC BARRIERS IN THE HEALTH
SYSTEM AND FORCE PEOPLE TO
FLEE THEIR HOMES STATE TO GET
THE CARE THEY NEED AND DESERVE
PLEASE BOUNCE ALSO CREATE
CONFUSION AND A CULTURE OF
FEAR THAT MAKE IT DIFFICULT
FOR PROVIDERS AND PEOPLE TO
PROVIDE OR SEE CARE FOR PLANNED
PARENTHOOD PROTECTING PATIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY IS AT THE CORE
OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY
OUR AFFILIATES THE PATIENT'S
MEDICAL RECORDS SHOULD NEVER
BE USED TO PUNISH SOMEONE FOR
OBTAINING AN ABORTION A RIGHT
THAT IS EXPLICITLY PROTECTED
UNDER OUR STATE LAWS AB
TWENTY NINETY ONE ESTABLISHES
SAFEGUARDS IN THE LAW TO
PROTECT THE MEDICAL RECORDS
OF ABORTION PATIENTS TO ENSURE
THAT THIS INFORMATION IS NOT
USED AS EVIDENCE IN AN OUT
OF STATE CASE TO PENALIZE A
PATIENT WHO SEEKS CARE IN OUR
STATE I WOULD SIMILARLY PROTECT
THOSE WHO PROVIDE ABORTIONS
OR ASSIST PATIENTS TO ACCESS
ABORTION CARE IN CALIFORNIA WE
THANK THIS COMMITTEE AND CAN'T

CARRYING THIS IMPORTANT BILL

TWENTY NINETY ONE BLATANTLY
VIOLATES THE FULL FAITH AND
CREDIT CLAUSE OF THE U.

CONSTITUTION CHERRY PICKING
WHICH OUT OF STATE SUBPOENAS
CALIFORNIA WILL RECOGNIZE THE
FULL FAITH AND CREDIT CLAUSE
ENSURES OTHER STATES RECOGNIZE
VALID COURT ORDERS LIKE CHILD
CUSTODY RESTRAINING ORDERS
SUBPOENAS OR OTHER LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS SECTION FIVE B.
OF AB TWENTY NINETY ONE
VIOLATES THE US CONSTITUTION
BY FORBIDDING ISSUANCE OF A
CALIFORNIA SUBPOENA IF THE OUT
OF STATE ACTION QUOTE RELATES
TO A FOREIGN PENAL CIVIL
ACTION CONCERNING ABORTION
THIS IS A RIDICULOUS ATTEMPT
TO SKIRT THE FULL FAITH AND
CREDIT CLAUSE SOMEHOW THE BILL
ANALYSIS DOES NOT EXPLAIN HOW
BUT SOMEHOW A LAWFUL SUBPOENA
DEMANDING RECORDS FOR USE IN A
FOREIGN COURT COULD BE IGNORED
BY CALIFORNIA LAW THE BILL
ANALYSIS ARGUES THAT THERE
MAY BE A PENAL EXCEPTION TO
JUSTIFY DOING SO AND YET IN
THE VERY SAME PARAGRAPH THE
BILL ANALYSIS ADMITS THAT
THE SUPREME COURT HAS NEVER
UPHELD A PENAL EXCEPTION NOT
EVEN ONE NOT SINCE NINETEEN
EIGHTEEN NINETY TWO NOT EVEN
IN THE VERY CASE CITED BY
THE BILL ANALYSIS AB TWENTY
NINETY ONE IS AN ATTEMPT TO
BRUSH ASIDE WELL ESTABLISHED
CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
AND REPLACE THEM WITH A LEGAL
FANTASY A THEORETICAL EXCEPTION
THAT HAS NEVER EXISTED BUT
COULD POSSIBLY EXIST IN SUPREME
COURT JURISPRUDENCE IN ITS
COMMITMENT TO PROTECT THE
ABORTION INDUSTRY AT ALL COSTS
AB TWENTY NINETY ONE DISREGARDS
THE CLEAR PROVISIONS OF THE
FULL FAITH AND CREDIT CLAUSE
IF ANYTHING THE BILL ANALYSIS
MAKES IT CLEAR THAT THE BILL
WILL BE ABSOLUTELY STRUCK DOWN
AFTER VERY EXPENSIVE LITIGATION
AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE JUST

THAT WE -- THAT BASICALLY
THREE COURSE CREATE A SITUATION
WHICH I THINK AND -- ONE --
NEWS REPORTS -- COMPARED IT
TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING PRIOR TO
THE CIVIL WAR WITH SLAVERY AND
THERE IS DO YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT -- AND -- RIFIC HISTORY
OF SLAVERY AND THE FACT THAT WE
HAD STATES THAT WOULD THEN TRY
TO PURSUE -- PEOPLE WHO WERE
TRYING TO STATE THE FREEDOM --
INTO OTHER STATES THAT WOULD
GIVE THEM THAT FREEDOM -- AND
THAT THERE WERE ACTUALLY STEPS
THEY NEED TO TAKE TO TRY TO
PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING AND
-- SO -- IT UNFORTUNATELY THIS
DOES SEEM LIKE WE'RE STARTING
TO ECHO THAT HORRIBLE HISTORY
IN OUR COUNTRY AND -- SO IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT -- PEOPLE WHO
ARE PROVIDING HEALTH CARE -- IN
GOOD FAITH HERE IN THIS STATE
ARE NOT SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION
FROM OTHER STATES FOR DOING
WHAT IS PERFECTLY BOTH LEGAL
BUT ALSO THE STANDARD CARE
AND ALSO WE NEED TO BE SURE
THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE SEEKING
KERR ARE PROTECTED AS WELL AS
WELL AND -- SO UNFORTUNATELY
THE SUPREME COURT HAS CREATE A
SITUATION WHERE THAT IS BECOME
LESS CERTAIN I THINK YOUR
BILL IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO
ADDRESS THAT ISSUE SO WITH THAT
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE THANK
YOU CHAIR AND I APPRECIATE
THE COMMENTS BECAUSE WHEN
THE FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS FROM
ANOTHER STATE WHO EXPERIENCES
INCEST OR RAPE ABSCONDS FROM
ANOTHER STATE AND COMES TO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THEY
SHOULD ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE
RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR
MEDICAL RECORDS PROVIDED I
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS AS WELL
REGARDING THE NEED TO ENSURE
THAT THAT THIS IS ALREADY
BEEN KIND OF DISCUSSED IN THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE COMMITTEE
I WILL SAY YEAH AND HERE TO
BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE FULL
FAITH AND CREDIT CLAUSE THAT
THAT GENERALLY REQUIRES THE
STATES TO HONOR THE JUDGMENT
AND ACTIONS OF OTHER STATES
AB TWENTY NINETY ONE WOULD
IMPLEMENT PROTECTIONS TO
ENSURE THAT COMPLIANCE WITH
OUT OF STATE SUBPOENAS WOULD
NOT VIOLATE THE CALIFORNIA
REPRODUCTIVE PRIVACY ACT
SUBPOENAS ARE ISSUED AS PART
OF THE PROCESS OF GATHERING
TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE FOR
LEGAL CASE A FINAL JUDGMENT THE
DOCUMENT ISSUED AT THE END OF
CASE CAN AT THE END OF THE CASE
CONTAINING A COURT'S RULING
ON THE MERITS OF THAT CASE AND
THAT IS THE APPLICATION THAT
IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE FULL
FAITH AND CREDIT LAW UP WITH
THAT WE KNOW THAT AB TWENTY
NINETY ONE IS A NECESSARY BILL
NEEDED TO COMBAT THE WAVE OF
ABORTION RESTRICTIONS BEING
ENACTED ACROSS THE COUNTRY
THIS BILL PROTECTS EVERY
PERSON'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT
TO MAKE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
DECISIONS AND TO HAVE THEIR
MEDICAL PRIVACY PROTECTED
THANK YOU MISTER TURN MEMBERS
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST ARRIVAL
THANK YOU CENTER BONTA IS OUR
MOTION OKAY MOVED BY CENTER

EGGMAN GONZALEZ GROW FURTADO
LEYVA I LIVE I LIVE MY OWN ROTH
ROTH AYE RUBIO WIENER OKAY THAT
THOSE CURRENTLY THREE ONE WE'RE
WAITING FOR ABSENT MEMBERS
WILL PUT THAT ON CALL THANK
YOU VERY MUCH OKAY SO WE ARE
GOING TO FOLLOW ORDERS SO THAT
MEANS SUMMER FRIEDMAN I SEE
YOU ARE HERE TO CHECK EVERYBODY
SO I THINK YOU ARE NEXT IN THE
FOLLOWING -- AND -- SO WE'RE
GOING TO BE DOING ITEM NUMBER
EIGHTEEN AB TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
YES AND THEN -- EVEN TWENTY
SEVEN ZERO TWO ITEMS CORRECT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS LET ME BEGIN
BY ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENT
OUTLINED ON PAGE SEVEN OF THE
ANALYSIS I APPRECIATE THE WORK
OF THE CHAIR AND YOUR COMMITTEE
STAFF IN CALIFORNIA ALONE
ALMOST THIRTY TWO THOUSAND
WOMEN ARE GOING TO BE DIAGNOSED
WITH BREAST CANCER THIS YEAR
FORTY SIX THOUSAND OVER I'M
SORRY OVER FOUR THOUSAND WOMEN
WILL DIE FROM THE DISEASE IN
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY TWO THANKS
TO THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT
MILLIONS OF WOMEN HAVE ACCESS
TO PREVENTATIVE SCREENING
MAMMOGRAPHY HOWEVER MANY TIMES
AFTER A MAMMOGRAM A FOLLOW UP
EXAM AND MORE ADVANCED IMAGING
IS NECESSARY PARTICULARLY IF
YOUR TISSUE IS DENSE OR IF
YOU'RE A YOUNGER WOMAN AND
SO MANY PATIENTS WILL FACE
SIGNIFICANT OUT OF POCKET
COSTS -- EVEN WITH THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE BEFORE ANY TREATMENT
TO BE DONE AND IT'S AN
ESTIMATED ABOUT SIXTEEN PERCENT
OF WOMEN DO HAVE TO HAVE THIS
MORE ADVANCED SCREENING AFTER
A MAMMOGRAM IN FACT BY MYSELF
WAS ASKED TO TAKE IT TO HAVE
A MORE ADVANCED SCREENINGS --
JUST A WEEK AGO BECAUSE I'M
A BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR AND
SO MY DOCTOR LIKES TO BE SURE
THAT LUCKILY MY INSURANCE DID
PAY FOR THAT SCREENING BUT FOR
MANY WOMEN IT DOESN'T LET ME
TELL YOU WHAT MY DOCTOR SENT
ME FOR THE ADVANCE SCREENING
THAT'S THE LAST THING IN THE
WORLD BUT I WANTED TO DO IN
FACT I PUT IT OFF MYSELF FOR
OVER A MONTH I WILL ADMIT THAT
NOW IF YOU'RE SOMEBODY WHO
THINKS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO PAY SOMETIMES TWO OR
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THAT
SCREENING IS A MAY AS AN MRI
MIGHT COST YOU MIGHT NEVER GO
BACK IF YOU'RE SOMEONE WHO'S
GOING TO CHOOSE BUT WE PAYING
RENT THAT MONTH OR GETTING
THAT SCREENING YOU MIGHT DO IT
A LOT OF WOMEN DO WHAT TO SAY
YOU KNOW WHAT IT THEY THEY'RE
JUST BEING EXTRA CAREFUL I'M
NOT GOING TO GO AND DO THAT
MAYBE ALL WAIT SIX MONTHS GO
FOR ANOTHER MAMMOGRAM AND SEE
WHAT HAPPENS BUT WHAT WE KNOW
IS THAT THE EARLIER THAT BREAST
CANCER IS CAUGHT THE MORE
TREATABLE IT IS AND LIVES CAN
BE SAVED BY HAVING THAT SOONER
DIAGNOSIS AND IN ADDITION
TREATING ADVANCED BREAST CANCER
IS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE SO IF
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE COST
TO THE SYSTEM IT'S REALLY
PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH
TO NOT FIND OUT EARLY IF YOU
HAVE SOMETHING TREATABLE WHAT
THIS BILL WOULD DO IS IT WOULD
REQUIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO
COVER THAT ADVANCE SCREENING
WHEN A DOCTOR SAYS THAT IT'S
NECESSARY FOR CAP COST THAT'S
AFFORDABLE -- AS OPPOSED TO
LEAVING IT UP TO THE INSURANCE
PLANS TO CHARGE PRETTY MUCH
WHATEVER THEY WANT FOR THIS TEN
OTHER STATES HAVE SIMILAR BILLS
MOVING THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS TO DO THIS AND --
SIMILAR LEGISLATION IS ALREADY
PASSED IN ARKANSAS COLORADO
ILLINOIS LOUISIANA NEW YORK IN
TEXAS WE DON'T LIKE TO BE LAST
I THINK WE SHOULD GET GOING
THIS BILL IS SPONSORED BY SUSAN
-- BY THE SUSAN G.
KOMEN IT'S A PRIORITY BILL FOR
THE LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
AND I WOULD URGE YOU TO VOTE I
ON THIS TODAY I HAVE IN SUPPORT
REBECCA BIRCH FROM COLEMAN ON
BY THE PHONE AND RYAN SPENCER
ALSO IT WAS HERE IN THE
HEARING ROOM FROM THE AMERICAN
COLLEGE OF OBSTETRICIANS AND
GYNECOLOGISTS THANK YOU THANKS
SO MUCH CENTER FRIEDMAN WILL
FIRST BRING OUT TO LINE REBEKAH
BIRCH FROM SUSAN G.
KOMEN YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES
FIVE THANK YOU YOU CHAIR PANEL
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS REBECCA BIRCH AND I
SERVED AS THE DIRECTOR A STATE
POLICY ADVOCACY AT PPG COMMENT
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT
OF AB TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WE
BELIEVE THE BILL WOULD ENSURE
FAIR AND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO
MEDICALLY NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC
BREAST IMAGING VIOLATING THE
ELIMINATING PATIENTS OUT OF
POCKET COSTS I'D LIKE TO SPEND
MY TIME TODAY TO SHARE A STORY
WITH YOU ABOUT A PATIENT THAT
WOULD HAVE BENEFITTED FROM THE
BUDGET SOLUTION ITS STORY OF A
WOMAN THAT WENT FOR HER ANNUAL
MAMMOGRAM WHICH WAS COVERED
AT NO COST BY HER INSURANCE
COMPANY HOWEVER HER RESULTS
CAME BACK ABNORMAL SHE WOULD
NEED A FOLLOW UP DIAGNOSTIC
MAMMOGRAM THE DAM WAS GOING
TO COST HER EIGHTY DOLLARS OUT
OF POCKET SHE SHARED THAT IT
COULD HAVE BEEN EIGHT THOUSAND
FOR ALL SHE CARED SHE WAS NEWLY
DIVORCED WITH TWO KIDS BARELY
MAKING ENDS MEET SHE SIMPLY
COULD NOT HAVE EIGHTY DOLLARS
SO SHE DIDN'T GET THE FOLLOW
UP TESTS SIX MONTHS LATER HER
CAT JUMPED ON HER CAUSING A
SHARP PAIN IN HER CHEST SHE
WENT BACK TO THE DOCTOR IN
A SHARED SHE WOULD NEED TO
GET THE FOLLOW UP DIAGNOSTIC
MAMMOGRAM FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS
BUT SHE TOOK OUT A PAYDAY
LOAN TO REPORT THE THEFT
UNFORTUNATELY THE RESULTS
WITH STAGE THREE CANCER SHE
ENDED UP -- MEETING AFFECTING
RECONSTRUCTION AND CHEMO AND
RADIATION PRODUCTOR SHARED DUE
TO THE PROGRESSIVE NATURE OF
HER CANCER SHE HAD CAUGHT SIX
MONTHS EARLIER SHE MIGHT HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO SAVE HER BREATH
ALL FOR THE SAKE OF EIGHTY
DOLLARS WE REGULARLY HEAR WHO
PATIENTS FORCED TO MAKE THE
SAME DIFFICULT DECISIONS WE
IMPORTANT TO PRIORITIZE THE
PATIENTS HEALTH OVER BOTTOM
LINE ANY DOING SO THE HEALTH
SYSTEM WILL BECOME LESS BURDEN
AND INSURANCE COMPANIES WILL
BENEFIT FROM REDUCE TREATMENT
COSTS HOPEFULLY RESULTING IN
LOWER PREMIUMS FOR ALL LONELY
WE RESPECTFULLY URGE IN IDAHO
ON AB TWENTY TWENTY FOUR I
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY
AND I THINK ASSEMBLYMEMBERS
FRIEDMAN FOR HER LEADERSHIP
ON THIS ISSUE AND IF I NAY
ON BEHALF OF ALL OF THOSE
IMPACTED BY BREAST CANCER I'D
LIKE TO SEE WHAT FLETCHER HAD
BEEN WORKING WITH YOU SENATOR
TANCREDO THANK YOU THANK
YOU HELLO LET'S MOVE ON TO
-- TRANSMITTER FROM BECAUSE
WELCOME AT THE RIGHT SPENT ON
BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE
OF OBGYN STRYCHNINE IN SUPPORT
OF AB TWENTY TWENTY FOUR I
WON AGAIN BY A WANTED TO BEGIN
WITH A BRIEF EXAMPLE PROVIDED
BY ONE OF OUR PHYSICIANS AS
WELL AS SHE HAD AN OLD AN OLDER
PATIENT FIFTY TWO YEARS OLD
WHO FINER ANNUAL MAMMOGRAM WAS
TOLD SHE SHOULD HAVE AN MRI
FOR INCREASED BREAST CANCER
RISK DUE TO FAMILY HISTORY SHE
DID THE MRI AND AFTER RECEIVED
A EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS
INSURANCE NOT COVER THE EXPENSE
SHE SAID SHE WOULD NOT HAVE
DONE THE MRI DUE TO COST IF
SHE HAD KNOWN IT WOULD NOT BE
COVERED WHAT ARE THE POSITIVE
THE CAUSTIC PUTTING PRESS
GREEN SHOULD NOT BE A BARRIER
TO APPROPRIATE SCREENING
SITUATIONS LIKE THIS OCCUR
ALMOST DAILY IN OUR POSITIONS
PRACTICES UNDER THE ACA
SCREENING MAMMOGRAMS COVERED
BY JUST OVER TEN PERCENT OF
CASES THE IMAGING IS ABNORMAL
AND DEEMED INCOMPLETE FOR
CAPITATION REQUIRES FURTHER
STUDIES THIS CREATES A HEAVY
BURDEN ON THE PATIENT BOTH
EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY
WHEN THEY MUST PAY OUT OF
POCKET FOR THESE ADDED STUDIES
AB TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WOULD
PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR DIGITAL
TESTS AS NEEDED WITHOUT COST
SHARING WOULD ALSO COVER
DIGITAL IMAGING IS INDICATED
WHEN RISK BASED ON FAMILY
HISTORY OR GENETIC MUTATIONS
EXIST SCREEN MAMMOGRAPHY
ENABLES OUR WE DIAGNOSIS AND
AS RESULT IN DECREASED CANCER

WITH THE HUGE IMPACTS TO PUBLIC
HEALTH THE HUGE IMPACT TO COST
WHERE WATER AGENCIES THAT ARE
DESPERATELY TRYING TO CLEAN
THESE TOXINS AND POLLUTANTS OUT

ABLE TO BUY COSMETICS AND I DO
WEAR COSMETICS I'D LIKE TO BE
ABLE TO BUY THEM IN CALIFORNIA
KNOWING THAT THE STATE IS ON

THE USE OF THESE TOXIC
FREDERICK FOREVER CHEMICALS
IN THE COSMETIC PRODUCTS
THAT WE PUT DIRECTLY ON OUR

IT'S BEEN BILL'S BEEN MOVED
-- THIS I SEE NONE A SUMMER
FRIEDMAN -- AT PROCEED ALL THE
WORK I IN IT AND WE'VE HAD SOME
THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
THE OPPOSITION WE'VE HAD SOME
CONVERSATIONS WITH IT TOO I
THINK I THINK IN THIS CASE --
AND -- AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
PRODUCTS ARE BEING DIRECTLY
APPLIED TO PEOPLE RIGHT BECAUSE
MEDICS RIGHT WHAT DO YOU SPRING
OUT ON IT -- BUT IT CENTER
AND AND AND AND AND SO IT'S
A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN LET'S
SAY AND WE CAN HAVE A WHOLE
NOTHER DEBATE ABOUT THE USE
OF REPELLENCY WHICH REPELLENTS
FOR OTHER TYPES OF USES BUT
THIS IS REALLY BEING APPLIED
DIRECTLY TO PEOPLE STAND --
AND RELEASE -- IT DID NOT IN
TERMS OF NECESSITY OF HAVING
TO USE EVEN DHFL WHAT THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT SO -- CERTAINLY
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY I
WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE I'LL JUST
SAY IN TERMS OF THE H.
OPPOSED THERE ARE CERTAINLY
OTHER ALTERNATIVES THAT
ARE READILY AVAILABLE LIKE
COMPRESSED AIR PUMPS BECAUSE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE SPRAY
THINGS LIKE THAT -- AND -- A
COMPRESSED NITROGEN -- THAT
ARE COMMONLY USED THERE'S NO
REASON TO OPEN THE DOOR RIGHT
NOW TWO CHEMICALS THAT WE
KNOW DO ACTUALLY ACCUMULATE AS
THE CHEMIST WHO SPOKE IN THE
BEGINNING SAID THEY'RE NOT A
PROBLEM NOW BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
USED VERY MUCH BUT IF YOU OPEN
THE DOOR AND ALLOW THEM TO BE
USED MORE NEXT THING YOU KNOW
JUST LIKE WITH MANY OF THESE
OTHER CHEMICALS YOU HAVE A BIG
PROBLEM IN THE ENVIRONMENT SO
GIVEN THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
COSMETICS AND THAT THERE ARE
OTHER ALTERNATIVES THERE'S NO
REASON TO HAVE AN EXEMPTION
FOR THIS ONE CALL FOR A CERTAIN
CLASS OF CHEMICALS THAT WE KNOW
BREAKDOWN TO HARMFUL SUBSTANCES
WITH THAT I WOULD REQUEST AND

TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE WELCOME
THERE WERE TWO GROUPS OF --
SALEM'S FIVE THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AT AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I WANT TO START
BY THANKING THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR ALL HER HARD WORK
MELANIE'S BEEN GREAT ON THE
BILL SO THANK YOU AND THE PAST
TWO DECADES AT LEAST THIRTEEN
HUNDRED PREGNANT PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED
FOR HAVING MISCARRIAGES OR
STILLBIRTHS OR SELF MANAGING AN
ABORTION CALIFORNIA'S AN EXAM
FROM PROSECUTING INDIVIDUALS
FOR THEIR PREGNANCY OUTCOMES
DESPITE CLEAR LAW THAT ENDING
OR LOSING A PREGNANCY IS NOT
A CRIME PROSECUTORS IN THE
STATE HAVE CHARGED PEOPLE WITH
HOMICIDE OFFENSES FOR PREGNANCY
LOSS TWO EXAMPLES OF THE CASE
OF CHELSEA BECKER AND A DOOR
PRESS TO CALIFORNIA WOMAN WHO
ARE RECENTLY PROSECUTORS IN
PRISON FOR THEIR STILLBIRTHS
ADORE IN FACT WAS IN PRISON FOR
FOUR YEARS IT WAS JUST RELEASED
A COUPLE MONTHS AGO HAVING A
STILLBIRTH TO PROTECT PEOPLE'S
REPORTER FREEDOM AND DECISION
MAKING AB TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE WILL REINFORCE EXISTING
STATE PROTECTIONS TO ENSURE
THAT NO ONE IN CALIFORNIA
WHETHER YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA
RESIDENT OR COMING FROM OUT
OF STATE WILL BE PROSECUTED
FOR ENDING A PREGNANCY OR
EXPERIENCE OF EXPERIENCING A
PREGNANCY LOSS WHETHER B.
SILVERS MISCARRIAGE OR ABORTION
THE SAME GROUPS ATTACKING
ABORTION RIGHTS HAS SPREAD
DISINFORMATION ABOUT THIS BILL
THEREFORE I WANT TO BE CLEAR
ABOUT WHAT THIS BILL DOES AND
DOES NOT DO THIS BILL PROTECTS
AGAINST PROSECUTION PREGNANCY
OUTCOMES INCLUDING ABORTION
MISCARRIAGE STILLBIRTH AND
PERINATAL DEATH DUE TO CAUSES
THAT OCCURRED IN UTERO HERE'S
WHAT THIS BILL WON'T DO AB
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE WILL
NOT PREVENT A THIRTIES FROM
BEING ABLE TO INVESTIGATE THE
FACTS OF A NEWBORN CHILD TO
DEATH INCLUDING WHETHER THE
CHILD WAS BORN LIVING THIS
BILL ONLY PREVENT FURTHER
INVESTIGATION OF THE PREGNANT
PERSON IN THE EVENTS THAT THE
DEATH WAS DETERMINED TO BE
A PREGNANCY RELATED BECAUSE
THAT OCCURRED IN UTERO IT IS
DESIGNED TO PROTECT PARENTS
WHO EXPERIENCED THE TRAUMA
OF LOSING A CHILD FROM BEING
RE TRAUMATIZED BY UNWANTED
UNWARRANTED INVESTIGATIONS
TO BE CLEAR THIS BILL WILL
NOT PREVENT POLICE FROM
INVESTIGATING FETAL DEATH
THAT OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF
THE CRIME COMMITTED AGAINST
A PREGNANT PERSON IN ADDITION
THIS BILL DOES NOT DIMINISH
OR CHANGE THE ABILITY OF THE
STATE TO INTERVENE TO PROTECT
A LIVING CHILD AND INSTANCES
OF ABUSE OR NEGLECT OR FROM
INVESTIGATING AN INFANT DEATHS
THAT OCCURRED AS A RESULT OF
AN ACTOR MISSION THAT TOOK
PLACE AFTER DELIVERY IT IS
ONLY FOCUSED ON PREGNANCY
OUTCOMES AND EVENTS THAT
OCCUR IN UTERO AB TWENTY
TWO TWENTY THREE WILL REMOVE
OUTDATED PROVISIONS REQUIRING
CORNERS TO INVESTIGATE CERTAIN
PREGNANCY LOSSES CLARIFY THAT
THE REPRODUCTIVE PRIVACY ACT
PROHIBITS CRIMINALIZATION OF
PREGNANCY LOSS AND PREGNANCY
OUTCOMES AND CREATE A PRIVATE
RIGHT OF ACTION FOR PEOPLE
WHOSE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN
VIOLATED THIS BILL SPONSORED

REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE INCLUDING

OF PEOPLE IMMUNE FROM HEALTH
REGULATIONS OR INVESTIGATION
AND NULLIFIES BORN ALIVE
PROTECTIONS IN OUR STATE LAW
THE BILL GOES MUCH FURTHER
THAN SIMPLY SHIELDING MOTHERS
FROM PROSECUTION FOR ABORTION
IT USES THE PHRASE QUOTE
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
LAW A LEGAL TERM OF ART THAT
DECLARES THE LEGISLATIVE
INTENT TO OVERRIDE ALL
COUNTRY LAWS THE BILL STATES
THIS IS IN SECTION B.
OF NUMBER SEVEN A PERSON WHO
AIDS OR ASSIST A PREGNANT
PERSON IN EXERCISING THEIR
RIGHTS UNDER THIS ARTICLE SHALL
NOT BE SUBJECT TO CIVIL OR
CRIMINAL LIABILITY OR PENALTY
OR OTHERWISE BE DEPRIVED OF
THEIR RIGHTS BASED SOLELY
ON THEIR ACTIONS TO AID OR

THIS ARTICLE WITH THE PREGNANT
PERSON'S VOLUNTARY CONSENT
THIS LANGUAGE POTENTIALLY
EXEMPTS ANYONE WHO AIDS OR
ASSISTS MOMS IN CHILDBIRTH OR
ABORTION FROM INVESTIGATION OR
FROM LICENSING OR PROFESSIONAL
REQUIREMENTS SO ANYONE CAN
ACT AS AN UNLICENSED OBGYN
ABORTIONIST OR OTHER CLINICAL
PROFESSIONAL WITH IMPUNITY
AND WITHOUT STATE OVERSIGHT IF
THE STATE ASKS QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE LICENSING THEY CAN SUE THE
STATE FOR TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND

ALL ALSO PERMITS INFANTICIDE
FOLLOWING A BOTCHED ABORTION
IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO
EXISTING CALIFORNIA BORN
ALIVE PROTECTION BY PROVIDING
IMMUNITY FOR A PERINATAL
DEATHS DUE TO QUOTE CAUSES
THAT OCCURRED IN UTERO THAT
UNDEFINED PHRASE MEANS THAT
AN INFANT BORN ALIVE DUE TO
A BOTCHED ABORTION MINUTES
CAN BE LEFT TO DIE OVER THE
COURSE OF DAYS OR WEEKS SO
LONG AS THE ABORTIONIST POINTS
TO A BECAUSE THAT OCCURRED
IN UTERO NO CORNER HAS A DUTY
TO INVESTIGATE AB TWENTY TWO

UNLICENSED ABORTIONISTS TOTALLY
IMMUNE FROM STATE OVERSIGHT

THANK YOU THANK YOU I THINK
SHE LEFT TO A MINUTE AND TWENTY
NINE SECONDS TWENTY SEVEN
EIGHT SECONDS WELCOME THANK
YOU -- REMEMBERS MY NAME IS
GREG BIRD WITH THE CALIFORNIA
FAMILY COUNCIL SINCE AB TWO
TWO TWO THREE WAS INTRODUCED
OUR ORGANIZATION HAS FOCUSED ON
HOW THIS BILL MOVES THE STATE
BEYOND PROTECTING ABORTION
INTO PROTECTING CERTAIN FORMS
INFANTICIDE DESPITE CLAIMS
THAT WE WERE PUTTING OUT
FALSE INFORMATION THE BILL HAS
BEEN AMENDED TWICE TO NARROW
THE DEFINITION OF PERI NATAL
DEATH IN RESPONSE TO THESE
ACCUSATIONS WILL WE BELIEVE
THE DEFINITION IS STILL TOO
BIG BUT I WANT TO FOCUS ON
ANOTHER PART OF THE BILL THAT
MAKES INFANTICIDE VERY HARD TO
PROSECUTE AB TWO TWO TWO THREE
SAYS CORNERS WILL NO LONGER
BE REQUIRED TO INVESTIGATE THE
CAUSE OF DEATH FOR SELF INDUCED
THANK FOR CRIMINAL ABORTION
BUT EVEN MORE CONCERNING IS
A PROVISION THAT YOU CAN FIND
EXPLAINED ON PAGE TWO OF THE
BILL ANALYSIS IN PARAGRAPH TWO
IT SAYS WHEN THE CORNERS JOB --
DOES THEIR JOB AND DETERMINES
THE CAUSE OF DEATH OF A NEWBORN
ANY EVIDENCE OF A CRIME THE
CORNER FINES CAN'T BE USED AND
I QUOTE TO ESTABLISH BRING OR
SUPPORT A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION
OR CIVIL ACTION SEEKING DAMAGE
AGAINST ANY PERSON WHETHER OR
NOT THE PERSON WHO WAS PREGNANT
WITH THE FETUS SO IF THE CORNER
FINDS EVIDENCE THAT THE CAUSE
OF DEATH WAS CRIMINAL MAYBE
INFANTICIDE BY SUFFOCATION OR
NEGLECT OR DROWNING THAT COULD
NOT BE USED TO PROSECUTE ANYONE
FOR CRIME MY QUESTION IS WHY
WHY IS A PROVISION IN AB TWO
TWO TWO THREE IF NOT TO MAKE
INFANTICIDE NEARLY NOT POSSIBLE
TO PROSECUTE OVER TIME'S UP

THANK YOU LET'S BRING IT BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE
MEMBERS SIR MELINDA'S THANK
YOU MR CHAIRMAN -- SO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WICKS I HAVE SEVERAL
QUESTIONS FIRST OF ALL -- IN
THE BILL -- IN THE DIGESTIVE
TALKS SPEAKS TO THE BILL WOULD
DELETE THE REQUIREMENT THAT
A CORNER HOLDEN QUEST FOR
DESTE RELATOR FOLLOWING KNOWN
OR SUSPECTED SELF INDUCED OR
CRIMINAL ABORTION WHAT IS A
CRIMINAL ABORTION IF I MAY
-- MISTER CHAIR I ALSO HAVE
LEGAL COUNSEL FOR TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS -- BRUCE JOHNSON IS
LINE ONE SIXTY ONE WOULD YOU
MIND IF WE PUT HER IN IT SHOULD
BE NICE SHE'S A LAWYER SO YES
SO PLEASE BRING IN -- THAT
YOU SUPPORT -- ROOST AUSTIN
RUTH DAWSON TWENTY SIXTY ONE
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A CRIMINAL
ABORTION I PREFER YOU TALK
TO A LAWYER WHO HAS MORE
EXPERTISE IN THIS PLEASE BRING
IN WITH US AND ON THE LINE
OKAY NUMBER ONE
ALL RIGHT OKAY FOR SALE
THINK SHE'S AVAILABLE AT
THE MOMENT IS THERE A WAY
WE CAN CAN YOU ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS GIVE ME ONE SEVEN
PLEASE WAIT A MINUTE TO WANT
TO GET YOUR QUESTION ANSWERED
I USED TO WANT TO MISSPEAK
EIGHT SOMEONE COMMUNICATING
TO GET ON THE LINE IT'S --
CAN YOU JUST OF ALL OF IT TELL
YOU WHAT I'LL MOVE ON OKAY APPS
DURING THAT TAXIS LINED UP WITH
US AND WHILE WE'RE WAITING OKAY
OKAY SO THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
-- SO YOU AMENDED YOUR BILL
CHECK OUT THE PART THAT SAID
DUE TO PREGNANCY RELATED CAUSES
ANY CHANGE THAT TO CAUSES
THAT OCCURRED IN UTERO SO --
ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS WITH
THIS BILL IS THAT -- YOUR BILL
SEEMS TO OVERRULE ANY OTHER
CURRENT LAWS AND I THINK ONE
OF THE WITNESSES SPOKE TO THAT
-- IN THE BILL WHERE IT SAYS
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW
A PERSON SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT
TO CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LIABILITY
OR PENALTY NOTWITHSTANDING
OTHER LAW ANY OTHER LIFE MEANS
THIS LAW WORK TO GO INTO EFFECT
SUPERSEDES ANY OTHER LAWS THAT
ARE ON THE BOOKS TODAY IS THAT
YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF IT MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE GOAL
OF THIS BILL IS TO CLARIFY
-- THAT -- PREGNANCY LOSS OF
INCOME CANNOT BE CRIMINALIZED
BUT IT BUT IT TO FURTHER BILL
SAYS NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
LAW AND THE -- LET'S SEE SO
FROM THE -- THE CALIFORNIA
COURT OF APPEALS ACTUALLY
WEIGHED IN ON THAT PARTICULAR
TERM AND AND AND BY THE WAY
JUST SORRY I I HEARD THAT A
THEY WANT TO MEET HER LINE
SHE'S LIKE WELL OKAY WELL LET
ME CAN OFTEN YOU WITH MY HEART
IS JEREMY INTERRUPTION IF
THE EIGHTEEN THE OPERATOR WE
BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE THE LINE
RIGHT NOW OKAY AND I'M GOING
TO OPEN HER NO I NO NO NO NO
NO I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
QUESTION HERE SO THAT'S GOING
TO HAVE TO WAIT SURE WHAT WHAT
WHATEVER WE ARE DOING WILL
BE SURE SHE'S AVAILABLE OKAY
SO THE CALIFORNIA COURT OF
APPEALS EXPLAINED IN THE CASE
CLASSIC VERSES CASTAIC LAKE
WATER AGENCY IT SAYS THIS IS
THE CALIFORNIA COURT OF APPEALS
NOT WITHSTANDING MEANS WITHOUT
PREVENTION OR OBSTRUCTION
FROM OR BY OR IN SPITE OF OR
DESPITE THE STATUTORY PHRASE
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER
LAW HAS BEEN CALLED THE TERM
OF ART THAT DECLARES THE
LEGISLATIVE INTENT TO OVERRIDE
ALL CONTRARY LAW BY USE OF
THIS TERM THE LEGISLATURE
EXPRESSES ITS INTENT TO HAVE
THE SPECIFIC STATUTE CONTROL
DESPITE THE EXISTENCE OF
ANY OTHER LAW WHICH MIGHT
OTHERWISE GOVERNMENT GOVERNS
SO IN YOUR BILL IT SAYS NOT
WAS TUNING IN THERE ANY OTHER
LAW WHICH MEANS IT SUPERSEDES
AND TAKES PRECEDENT OVER
ANY OTHER LAWS WE HAVE ON
THE BOOKS OKAY SO IN THAT
PARTICULAR CASE THEN THAT OPENS
UP A WHOLE HOST OF ISSUES --
YOU HAVE MANY PEOPLE WHO
ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS
BILL WOULD ALLOW FOR -- THE
KILLING OF AN INFANT OR THE
NEGLECT OF AN INFANT WHICH
WOULD THEN -- RESULT IN THE
INFANT'S DEATH TIME WHEN IT
COMES TO ABORTION I'M SURE
YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT --
THERE ARE FAILED ABORTIONS
AND THERE ARE TIMES WHEN AN
INFANT IS BORN ALIVE AFTER
AN ATTEMPT AT AN ABORTION YES
THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL I'M
NOT SURE THAT I AM NOT ASKING
I KNOW WHAT YOUR PURPOSE IN
THE BILL AS I'M JUST ASKING
YOU IT LET'S HAVE AN HONEST
CONVERSATION HERE ABOUT WHAT
TAKES PLACE OKAY YOU ARE
WHERE I'M I'M HOPING THAT
YOU HAVE AS YOU NO DONE YOUR
HOMEWORK ON THIS ISSUE BEYOND
YOUR OWN PERSONAL INTEREST
IN GETTING THE BILL PASSED IN
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN AN INFANT A BABY IS
BORN AFTER A FAILED ABORTION
TEN IF YOU'RE NOT I ENCOURAGE
YOU TO GOOGLE KERMIT GOSNELL
OKAY HE WENT TO PRISON BECAUSE
HE WAS ALLOWING BABIES TO BE
BORN ALIVE AND THEN PUTTING
THEM IN A BUCKET AND STICKING
THEM IN A UTILITY CLOSET
FORTY SEVEN DIFFERENT BODIES
THEY FOUND IN THAT CLINIC THE
INVESTIGATORS FOUND THAT THEY
COULDN'T DETERMINE WHETHER
THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS IN
UTERO OR AFTERWARDS SO IT'S
A IT'S A DIFFICULT THING TO
PROVE THAT SOMETHING BECAUSE
WAS CAUSED IN UTERO THAT IS
ALREADY ESTABLISHED SCIENCE SO
HOW DO YOU SURE PEOPLE THAT
BABIES THAT ARE BORN ALIVE
OR BABIES THAT ARE INDUCED
AT A VIABLE AGE THAT THEN DIE
BECAUSE THEY THEIR CARE IS
NEGLECTED MUCH LIKE GOVERNOR
NORTHAM A VIRGINIA STATED
WOULD HAPPEN IN HIS STATE
THAT A DISCUSSION WOULD TAKE
PLACE WELL THEY KEPT THE
BABY COMFORTABLE AND THEN THE
DISCUSSION WOULD BE WHAT SHOULD
WE DO ABOUT THIS BABY SHOULD
WE LET IT LIVE OR SHOULD WE
LET IT DIE I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IS SO FUNNY THAT YOU KEEPS
WORKING OUT BUT THIS IS A VERY
SERIOUS ISSUE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT LIVES SO WHAT CAN YOU
DO TO ASSURE PEOPLE THAT THAT
WOULD NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE YOUR
BILL VERY CLEARLY IS WORDING IN
A WAY THAT SUPERSEDES CURRENT
LAW SO I WANT TO DEFERRED FOR
LAWYERS -- ROOF IS ON ONE SIXTY
ONE AND ALSO OUR WHENEVER --
DOCTORS I THINK DOCTOR ROBERTS
MY BUILDING ANSWER THOSE
QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY
GIVE YOU THE INFORMATION THE EX
I'M NOT A DOCTOR NOR LAYER OKAY
AND ACTUALLY I URGE EVERYONE
TO TRY TO KEEP THE REMARKS
BRIEF BECAUSE WE ARE COMING
ABOUT THE TIME WHEN WE NEED
TO CLOSE CLOSE DOWN THIS --
HEARING SO -- SO PLEASE PLEASE
ANSWER SAID THAT WHICH YOU
WANT TO YES IF IF ROOF COULD
ANSWER ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
THAT PLEASE SENATOR AUSTIN
AND DR ROBERTS COULD WEIGH IN
ON THE MEDICAL QUESTIONS FOR
HELLO YES PLEASE PLEASE GO ON
WONDERFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH
AND MY NAME IS RICK JOHNSON AND
WHAT THEY SALINAS CALIFORNIA
-- SO I'M LOOKING AT THE
DEFINITION IN THE REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE ONE TWO
THREE FOUR SIX EIGHT BUT THE
PERFORMANCE OF AN ABORTION IS
ON AUTHORIZED EITHER OF THE
FOLLOWING -- TRUE -- AND THEN
LEFT CIRCUMSTANCES -- ANYWAY
MY QUESTION WAS WHAT IS A
CRIMINAL ABORTION NOT WHAT IS
AN AND ON AUTHORIZED ABORTION
WHAT IS A CRIMINAL ABORTION
THANK YOU IT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING SENATOR THAT
THAT IF YOU DETERMINE THAT IS
PART OF THE REASON I'M AS BAD
AS THAT PORTION -- ALREADY IN
CORONARY IS BEING CLEANED UP
I AM HAPPY TO READ TO YOU
CURRENTLY IN THE REPRODUCTIVE
PRIVACY ACT WELL THAT WON'T BE
NECESSARY I THINK THAT WON'T
BE NECESSARY THANK YOU WE ARE
IN LIMITED TIME HERE I WANT TO
GET TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER
IS HERE BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH
WAS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT
SHE WAS GOING TO JUST INSERTED
OR JUST THAT ONE FOR LEGAL
QUESTION WAS THERE SOMEONE
AND DR ROBERTS IS A DOCTOR
WHO I THINK CAN HELP ANSWER
YOUR MEDICAL QUESTIONS THANK
YOU IS HE ON THE LINE SHE YES
SHE SORRY ROBERTS ON THE LINE
THE DOCUMENT I'M ACTUALLY
LIKE HEALTH RESEARCHER AND
PHYSICIAN IS DOCTOR FROM THE
FALL AND I DON'T SEE IT HERE
FEDEX AND OF ALL IANS OF ALL
CAN YOU YEAH IF YOU COULD
PLEASE REPEAT THE QUESTION OF
RELATED TO MY MEDICAL EXPERTISE
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME
-- AT OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE BECAUSE I'M
NOT GONNA GO BACK THROUGH I
MEAN I HAD A WHOLE LITANY OF
THINGS HERE THAT WE SPOKE ABOUT
AND SHE CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT
I ASK SO AGAIN I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO ASSURE US
THAT AN INFANT IS NOT GOING TO
BE ALLOWED TO DIE AFTER BEING
PREMATURELY BORN WHETHER THAT'S
BY INDUCTION OR SOMETHING ELSE
AND THAT THIS LAW WOULDN'T
SHIELD THE PERSON WHO HELPED
HER DO THAT OR THIS LAW IS
BUT IF YOU WANT TO FINISH YEAH
I HAD THIS LAWS SPECIFIC TO
PERINATAL DEATH DUE TO CAUSES
THAT OCCUR IN UTERO UHHUH SO
IF SOMEONE'S CHILD IS BORN YES
AND COMES OUT OF THE WOMAN IS
A HEALTHY OR IF NOT YOU KNOW
A LIVING PERSON THEY HAVE
THOSE RIGHTS AND IF SOMETHING
HAPPENS AFTER BIRTH WERE
THERE SOME SORT OF MALPRACTICE
OR HOMICIDE OR ANYTHING TO
THAT NATURE -- AFTER THE
BABY IS BORN THEN THEY CAN
CERTAINLY BE INVESTIGATED
-- BY INVESTIGATORS HOW CAN
THEY BE INVESTIGATED IF YOUR
BILL SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T BE
INVESTIGATED YOUR BILL SAYS
THAT YOU CANNOT THAT THE
CORNER CAN'T CONDUCT AN INQUEST
THIS BILL DOES NOT PREVENT
POLICE FROM INVESTIGATING FETAL
DEATH THAT WAS A CARDS THE
CRIME OUR POLICE HER TO IT OUR
OUR OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT REALLY
-- QUALIFIED TO DO THAT TYPE
INVESTIGATION IS THAT SOMETHING
MORE SUITABLE TO A CORNER THAT
DOCTORS STILL MAKE THE MEDICAL
DETERMINATION CORRECT YES SO
SO THEY HAVE A PROCESS TO TO
MAKE THAT DETERMINATION AND IF
THE MEDICAL DETERMINATION IS
THAT SOMEONE DID SOMETHING TO
HARM A BABY -- AND IT WASN'T
STILLBIRTH WE CAN STILL BE
INVESTIGATED BASED ON THOSE
MEDICAL TO TERMINATE THAT IS
NOT WHAT YOUR BILL SAYS AND
THIS IS WHERE I BUT LOOKED UP
DOCTOR SANDEL SPEAK TO THIS
BUT YOUR BILL I UNDERSTAND BUT
SHE IS A DOCTOR I'M TELLING YOU
WHAT MY BILL DOES LEGISLATOR
IT'S YOUR BILL THIS WAS YOUR
IDEA AND I'M AND I JUST TOLD
YOU MY ANSWER BILL SAYS THAT
THE THE CAUSE OF DEATH CAN BE
PLACED ON THE DEATH CERTIFICATE
BUT IT CANNOT BE INVESTIGATED
THE CORNER MAY NOT START AN
INQUEST IF A DOCTOR DETERMINES
THAT THERE SOMETHING THAT NEEDS
TO BE INVESTIGATED IT CAN BE AN
INVESTIGATION CAN BE TRIGGERED
BY WHOM YOUR BILL SAYS IT
CAN'T BE DONE HE CLEARLY SAYS
YOU CANNOT DO THAT AFTER A
BABY IS BORN IF SOME SOME
SORT OF MALPRACTICE HAPPENS
THAT CAN BE INVESTIGATED
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS IN
UTERO AND THERE'S A SILVER
SENATE THAN A DOCTOR HAVE TO
DETERMINE IF THEY'RE SOMEWHERE
IN YOUR BILL DOES IT SAY IT
CAN STILL BE INVESTIGATED
WELL IT LOOKS THE FIFTY
THOUSAND WITH THIS OPINION
ABOUT WHAT THE BILL IT SAYS WE
JUST HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT WE ARE
DEBATING A BILL SECTION GO TO
THIS SAYS THE CORNER ALSO
IN THE DATA JUDICIARY NOTED
ON THE FETAL DEATH BUT IT
SAYS IT CANNOT BE USED TO
ESTABLISH BRING MORE SUPPORT
A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION OR
CIVIL CAUSE OF ACTION THAT'S
WHAT IT SAYS AND I THINK --
BRUCE CAN ANSWER SOME OF THESE
QUESTIONS TOO AS A LAWYER OKAY
CAN WE BRING ON THE CHANNEL
TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS
THE STATE AND MEET RUTH OKAY
CAN YOU PLEASE ON ROUTE MUTE
SLAUGHTER PLEASE AND YEAH
AT THE CORNERS OF THE
STATUTORY DUTY TO INVESTIGATE
UNATTENDED CHILDREN THAT DON'T
HAPPEN UNDER THE TENANTS HAD
INTO A TRADITION OR QUOTE
THOUSAND USED FOR CRIMINAL
ABORTION QUOTE EVEN THOUGH
THE MENTIONED EARLIER NONE
OF THESE ARE CURRENTLY CRIMES
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW THERE IS
NO SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS SUPPORT
FOR ABORTION ACCORDING THAT
NUMBER LACK THERE IS CONFUSION
ABOUT THE INTERSECTION
INTERSECTION THE THE THING
REQUIREMENTS WHAT THE WHAT THE
HOSPITAL TURNING TO PATIENTS
OVER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
STUFF SO WE'RE STICKING TO
OUR KILL OF THE BILL THANK YOU
FOR IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO
INVESTIGATE ALLEGED CRIMES YEAH
I I APPRECIATE YOUR READING
TO ME THAT DOCUMENTS ARE HAVE
IN FRONT OF ME BUT I'M STILL
NOT GETTING THE ANSWER TO MY
QUESTION BECAUSE THIS BILL SAYS
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW
A PERSON SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT
TO CRIMINAL OR CIVIL LIABILITY
OR PENALTY OR OTHERWISE
DEPRIVED OF THEIR RIGHTS
AND IN THIS ARTICLE BASED ON
THEIR ACTIONS OR OMISSIONS
AND OTHER WORDS NEGLECT LEAVE
THE BABY THERE TO DIE WITH
RESPECT TO THEIR PREGNANCY OR
ACTUAL POTENTIAL OR ALLEGED
PREGNANCY OUTCOME INCLUDING
MISCARRIAGE STILLBIRTH OR
ABORTION INCLUDING MISCARRIAGE
NOT LIMITED TO BUT INCLUDING
MISCARRIAGE STILLBIRTH OR
ABORTION OR PERINATAL DEATH
DUE TO HER PREGNANCY RELATED
OR DUE TO THAT BECAUSE IN UTERO
SO WE'RE IN THIS BILL
DOES IT SAY THAT YOU CAN
INVESTIGATE THE DEATH OF
AN INFANT THE I BELIEVE THE
JUDICIARY ANALYSIS -- POINTS
OF THIS GREAT READ IT TO ME
I DON'T HAVE IT ON ME OKAY
WE'RE HERE DEBATING IN
VETTING THIS BILL AND YOU'RE
NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS AND THIS IS A
MONUMENTAL SUPPORT I THINK WE
HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
ON THAT ONE WE DON'T HAVE A
DESCRIPTION OF UNION THE INTEL
RENDON AND HAD WE HAD WOMEN
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
IMPRISONED FOR STILLBIRTH AND
THEY WERE RELEASED AFTER FOUR
YEARS THEY WERE STILL RELEASED
THAT WERE AFTER FOUR YEARS BUT
YOUR BILL DOESN'T TALK ABOUT
CRIMINALIZING SOMEONE JUST ON
THE BASIS OF BEING PENALIZED
FOR STILLBIRTH YOU WOULD HAVE
GONE FAR BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES
OF THAT AND YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE
YOU CANNOT INVESTIGATE THE
DEATH OF AN INFANT UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES AS LONG AS TRUE
IT WAS A SELF MANAGED ABORTION
OR -- MISCARRIAGE STILLBIRTH
AND YOU CAN'T EVEN INVESTIGATE
THE PERSON WHO HELPED HER
DO IT IF THERE WAS ANY -- IT
AGAIN I'LL REPEAT IF A BABY
IS BORN AFTER THE BABY IS BORN
FULL INVESTIGATIONS CAN TAKE
PLACE IF THERE'S SOMETHING
THAT HAPPENS IN UTERO WE'RE
TRYING TO YOUR AVAILABLE
LANGUAGE BECAUSE OTHERWISE
AND I'M ASKING YOU I'M BEGGING
YOU SHOW ME POINT TO ME WHAT
OF THE BILL IN ORDER YES IT
IS IN THE BILL THAT THOSE CAN
BE DONE THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING
SENATOR SENATOR I BELIEVE
SHE'S ANSWER QUESTIONS SHE
HASN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION
I BELIEVE SHE HAS ANSWERED
YOUR QUESTION MICHAEL HOLD ON
SORRY AND I JUST CLARIFICATION
AS TO ORDER MY CLASS ORDER
IT'S ALSO HER DECIDE HOW SHE
WANTS TO ENTER QUESTION BEYOND
SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER NO
I AM YOU SATISFIED FOR ANY
ANSWER OKAY SUCH THAT BELIEVE
SHE HAS ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION
NO SHE HAS NOT YET I JUST WANT
TO KNOW TELL ME WHAT SECTION
OF THE BILL SAYS THAT YOU CAN
INVESTIGATE THE DEATH OF AN
INFANT YOU CHECK SO YOU HAVE
A QUESTION MULTIPLE TIMES AND
I HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY ANSWERS
HE HAS GIVEN YOU ANSWER YOU
MAY NOT BE SET UP PRESENT HE
KNOWS WHAT HAS NOT I'M SORRY
THIS ORDER WHICH MISTER CHAIR
I MISSED THAT ANSWERING SAID
UNITED SO SORRY WAS THE ELDER
WHAT SECTION OF THE BOOK IS
IT IN SHE SETTLED ON SO FIRST
OF ALL WE HAVE A POINT OF EACH
YEAR SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY
THAT I HAVE HEARD THE AUTHOR
GIVE AID TO THAT ANSWER OKAY
THAT'S NOT AN ANSWER RIGHT
THAT EVERYBODY'S NOT A POINT
OF ORDER HOLD ON I'M SORRY
SO SO SO SO ANYWAY THAT IT IS
SECTION SHE HAS GIVEN IN ANSWER
YOU MAY NOT BE SATISFIED WITH
THE ANSWER RIGHT BUT WE ARE WE
NEED TO MOVE ON AND -- SO LET'S
LET'S OKAY PERHAPS YOU CAN ASK
IS I'M NOT GONNA ASK THE SAME
QUESTION MULTIPLE TIMES AND SHE
HAS GIVEN OKAY ONLY FINANCER
SO THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BILL
AND IT'S JUST UNFATHOMABLE TO
ME THAT WE WOULD TRY TO RUSH
THROUGH IT A BILL OF THIS
SIGNIFICANCE WE'RE GOING TO
SAVE HER YET BECAUSE WE NEED
TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE THIS IS
JUST UNBELIEVABLE OKAY YOUR --
YOUR BILL TALKS ABOUT
SHE'S NOT LISTENING OKAY --
YOUR BILL TALKS ABOUT CAUSES
THAT TOOK PLACE IN UTERO --
SO IF A BABY IS I MEAN BECAUSE
REMEMBER THIS LEGISLATURE YOUR
PARTY HAS DECIDED TO INVITE
PEOPLE TO CALIFORNIA TO HAVE
ABORTIONS OKAY SO WE HAVE
BECOME THE ABORTION SANCTUARY
STATE THAT WAS THE GOVERNOR'S
WORDS NOT MINE SO IN DOING SO
DO YOU NOT THINK THAT THERE IS
GOING TO BE A SURGE OF THOSE
WHO ARE WISHING TO PROVIDE
ABORTION SERVICES AND THAT
SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE MAY NOT BE
OPERATING WITHIN THE CONFINES
OF THE LAW AND THEN YOUR BILL
WILL ALLOW WILL ALLOW THEM
TO BE SHIELDED FROM THE LAW
SO IF YOU HAVE AN INFANT I'M
SORRY IF YOU HAVE A WOMAN WHO
IS PREGNANT AND YOU START TO
RICHARD AND IF YOU HAVE LET'S
SAY SHE GIVES BIRTH AND THE
BABY IS LIVING OKAY YOUR BILL
I DON'T SEE ANYWHERE IN HERE
WHERE IT SAYS HE WOULD HAVE
TO PROVIDE THAT INFANT CARE
BECAUSE IF LET'S SAY OKAY
LET'S GO A STEP FURTHER SO AN
ABORTION IS ATTEMPTING BECAUSE
YOUR BILL CONTEMPLATES THAT
RIGHT AND IT AND AND AND IT
INTENDED ABORTION PERHAPS IT
WAS A FAILED EFFORT SO BUT NOW
THE BABY WAS INJURED IN UTERO
DURING THIS PROCESS THE BABY
IS NOW OUT OF THE MOTHER'S
WOMB IN YOUR BILL BASICALLY
SAYS YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE
ANY CARE AND PROVIDE THE BABY
ANY CARE CORRECT I'M SORRY
TO UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION
YOUR BILL SAYS THAT
YOU DON'T YOU CAN'T BE
CRIMINALLY LIABLE FOR NOT
PROVIDING CARE OUR REACH
YOU DIRECTLY FROM YOUR BILL
IT A PERSON OR TALK ABOUT THE
MOTHER TO -- CANNOT BE DEPRIVED
OF THE RATES CANNOT BE HELD
LIABLE BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS
SO ANSWER YOUR FRENCH WORD
IS BORN AND RAISED IN ISSUES
BUT BASED ON THEIR ACTIONS
OR OMISSIONS WITH RESPECT
TO THEIR PREGNANT WIVES MY
MY FRIEND TURNED OUT FOR --
ACTIONS OR EMISSIONS SO ACTION
PERHAPS MEDIA MAURITIAN OR
OMISSION BEING THE NEGLECT
OF CARE WITH RESPECT TO THEIR
PREGNANCY GOT MORE ACTUAL
POTENTIAL OR ALLEGED PREGNANCY
OUTCOME SO THE CONTINUE THIS
THE BILL SAYS THAT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO IF I MISTER CHAIR WE
NEED TO TAKE A RECESS OKAY YOU
KNOW IT CAN I JUST ANSWER THAT
ACTUALLY CAN I TELL THE BILL
ACTUALLY SAYS UNFORTUNATELY
WE DO NEED TO RECESS WE CAN'T
INITIATE NO WE'RE NOT GOING
TO FINISH THE BILL RIGHT NOW
WE NEED TO TAKE A RECESS AND
THEN WE CAN COME BACK AND --
THEN WILL DECIDE WHETHER THE
HOLDS OVER FOR TOMORROW OR
WE WRAP THIS OUT TODAY SO WE
WE DO HAVE TO TAKE A RECESS
