NINETY FOUR YES IN FOR QUITE A
GRACIOUS GUY. HUMBLE.
TO
ALL RIGHT MY TRUSTY VICE CHAIR
ALONG GOING ON I KNOW I KNOW
IT'S A MAD HOUSE WE DO ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE
BRENT ALL RIGHT WITHOUT FURTHER
ADO LET'S START A SUBCOMMITTEE
WILL ASK ROGER NEELAM CENTER TO
COME FORWARD TO PRESENT ITEM TEN
IN THE GENDER THAT'S SB SEVEN
NINETY FOUR YOU'RE VERY WELCOME
TO START WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISS SURE AN
- GREAT THANKS SENATOR FOR
ALLOWING ME TO GO BEFORE HIM OR
MAKE A NOTE ABA THAT I HAVE OF
THIS MORNING- I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU-
SB SEVEN NINETY FOUR WHICH WOULD
DO TWO THINGS TO IMPROVE THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
ACT. FIRST IT WOULD LIMIT THE
TIMELINE FOR CHALLENGES AND
APPELLATE REVIEW TWO THREE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DAYS FOR
ALL MAJOR HOUSING COMMERCIAL AND
PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS OVER
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
SECOND IT WOULD REQUIRE IDENTITY
DISCLOSURE OF INDIVIDUALS AND
GROUPS THAT CONTRIBUTE ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS OR MORE TO A
SEQUEL LAWSUIT THAT MEANS
EFFECTIVELY ANYBODY- IN ORDER TO
DISCLOSE THE ECONOMIC INTERESTS
OF THOSE SEEKING TO STOP OR SLOW
DOWN A PROJECT. AS THE LAW
CURRENTLY STANDS- AND- AND
RELATE UNRELATED TO ITS ORIGINAL
IT INTENDS SEQUEL IS BEING USED
AS A TOOL OF OBSTRUCTION TO STOP
PROJECTS OF ANY SIZE WHEN
SOMEONE DOESN'T LIKE IT EVEN.
AND ESPECIALLY FOR NON
ENVIRONMENTAL REASONS. EVEN OUR
GOVERNOR KNOWLEDGE THAT SEQUEL
IS FLAWED STATING IN A RECENT
PRESS RELEASE. OUR SECRET
PROCESS IS CLEARLY BROKEN WHEN A
FEW WEALTHY WEALTHY BERKELEY
HOMEOWNERS CAN BLOCK DESPERATELY
NEEDED STUDENT HOUSING FOR YEARS
AND EVEN DECADES CALIFORNIA
CAN'T AFFORD TO BE HAAS TELL
HOSTAGE BY NIMBYS WHO WEAPONIZE
SECRET TO BLOCK STUDENT AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THIS SELFISH
MINDSET IS DRIVING UP HOUSING
COSTS AND MAKING OUR STATE LESS
AFFORDABLE THE LAW NEEDS TO
CHANGE AND I'M COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH LAWMAKERS THIS YEAR
TO MAKING MORE CHANGES SO OUR
STATE CAN BUILD HOUSING. WE
DESPERATELY NEED SO GOVERNOR. IF
YOU'RE WATCHING HERE I AM.
CHANGE IS NEEDED SO WERE THE
PROJECTS OF ALL KINDS CAN BE
IMPROVED WITH REAL ENVIRONMENTAL
MITIGATION TO ADDRESS LONG
STANDING NEEDS. INSTEAD OF
OCCASIONAL INDIVIDUAL EXEMPTIONS
BY LIMITING TIMELINES THE
PROCESS WOULD BE STREAMLINED
AND- GOOD PROJECTS WILL ACTUALLY
BE BUILT. THIS BILL WOULD
PREVENT THOSE WITH ULTERIOR OR
NON ENVIRONMENTAL INTERESTS FROM
HIDING BEHIND SEQUEL TO BLOCK
PROJECTS WITH FRIVOLOUS LAWSUITS
. ALL TO OFTEN THOSE USING
SEQUEL- DO SO FOR LABOR UNION
INTEREST COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES
FOR THOSE SEEKING TO PREVENT
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES FROM
ENTERING THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD OR
ANY OTHER REASON THAT- MANY
TIMES IS NON ENVIRONMENTALLY
RELATED. BY ROUTE REMOVING
ANONYMITY FROM THOSE WHO FILE
NAME LESLIE TRANSPARENCY WILL BE
ENSURED FOR ALL. RIGHT NOW
APPEALS A PROJECT APPROVALS ARE
SURPRISINGLY EASY AND AFFORDABLE
TO FILE. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT CAN
BE DONE ANONYMOUSLY. A SENSUALLY
GIVING EVERY NEIGHBOR OR ANY
INTEREST GROUP OF VETO POWER
OVER ANY NEW PROJECTS. SEQUEL IS
KNOWN TO BE CALIFORNIA'S MOST
IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL LAW BUT
WHEN A FAVORITE PROJECT HAS TO
BE DONE IT IS EXEMPTED FROM
SEQUEL FOR EXAMPLE A SPORTS
STADIUM SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER
MANAGEMENT PLANS PROJECT ROOM
KEY. LET'S REFORM THIS FOR EVERY
THING AND RETURN THE PROCESS TO
TRUE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND
MEDICATION. ONE LOCAL EXAMPLE BY
THE WAY OF SEEK WERE BEING
ABUSED- AND VERY FRUSTRATING
LOCALLY FOR NON RETIREMENT-
REASONS- THAT I FOUND
PARTICULARLY TROUBLING WAS THE-
SUTTER MEDICAL CENTER IN MID
TOWN SACRAMENTO THAT WAS DELAYED
FOR. PROBABLY AT LEAST FOUR
YEARS DUE TO LAWSUITS FILED BY
S. CI YOU. LITIGATION OR THE
THREAT OF IT CREATES DELAYS
UNCERTAINTY AND LEADS TO
INCREASED PROJECT TIMELINES AND
COSTS FOR ABANDONING THE PROJECT
ALL TOGETHER. WITHOUT LIMITS ON
TIME LINES THESE CHANGES TO BE
FOR THESE CHANGES TO BE
LITIGATED THE CHALLENGE WILL
ESSENTIALLY RUN UNTIL ONE PARTY
RUNS OUT OF MONEY OR GIVES UP.
WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO INVITE
JORDAN CANNOT. CAR BALK SKEWS ME
- WITH A CALIFORNIA YIMBY AND-
P. ANTHONY THOMAS WITH THE
CALIFORNIA BUILDING ASSOCIATION
TO- TESTIFY ON BEHALF OF THE
BILL. THANK YOU SENATOR GOOD
MORNING CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS JORDAN PLAN
A KIND OF A HOT LIST OF ADVOCATE
FOR CALL FOR U. M. B. AND WE ARE
HERE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF SB
SEVEN NINE FOUR. CALIFORNIA WITH
THE STATEWIDE ORGANIZATION OF
OVER EIGHTY THOUSAND NEIGHBORS
DEDICATED TO MAKING OUR STATE A
FORMAL PLACE TO LIVE WORK AND
RAISE A FAMILY FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING HOUSING CRISIS IS DUE IN
LARGE PART TO THE PRODUCTION OF
HOUSING IN MANY INSTANCES THAT
BEATS A SEQUEL ALSO CONTRIBUTE
TO UNNECESSARY DELAYS IN
DEVELOPMENT EXACERBATING THE
PROBLEM. UNDER CURRENT LAWS
LOSSES CAN BE FILED ANONYMOUSLY
MEANING PARTISAN NOT REQUIRED TO
DISCLOSE IDENTITIES FINANCIAL
DONORS OR CONFLICTING INTERESTS.
AS SOME CASES MANY PARTIES FILE
LAWSUITS PROJECTS UNDER SECRET
WITHOUT REGARD TO ENVIRONMENTAL
EFFECTS THE ONLY TO STALL THE
PROJECTS. THESE ANONYMOUS EQUAL
LOSSES ALSO IMPACT OUR DEMOCRACY
REDUCING TRANSPARENCY IN A
COMPLEX AND OPAQUE PROCESS.
WITHOUT TRANSPORT SEEK LOSSES
BECAUSE IS INFANT ENDING.
INCREASED COSTS AND ONGOING
DELAYS IF WE DO NOT MAKE
MEANINGFUL REFORMS. HI
LITIGATION AND CERTAIN THE INTO
PRICE CALL THIRTY PASS ON TO THE
FUTURE CONSUMER OF THE
DEVELOPMENT OR LEAD DEVELOPERS
TO ABANDON THE PROJECT
ALTOGETHER. SB SEVEN NINE FOUR
REQUIRE PARTIES FINALLY SEQUEL
LOSSES TO IDENTIFY INDIVIDUALS.
OR GROUPS PROVIDED ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS OR IN KIND CONTRIBUTIONS
OF A HUNDRED DOLLAR VALUE OR
MORE TO THE LAWSUIT. IN TO
DISCLOSE ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF
THOSE OPPOSING OR SEEKING TO
MODIFY THE APPROVED PROJECT. WE
BELIEVE THIS BILL WILL PROVIDE
CRITICALLY NEEDED TRANSPARENCY
TO ADDRESS SEQUEL EDUCATION
ABUSES REMOVING A BARRIER TO
INCREASE CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING
SUPPLY. IT'S FOR THESE REASONS
CALIFORNIAN BE RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT FOR SB
SEVEN NINE FOUR THANK YOU.

FOR HOLLAND KNIGHT OF ALL SEQUEL
LAWSUIT TODAY FUNDING ONLY 13%
THIRTEEN PER WERE FIVE BAY ACT
ORGAN WITH SIX PER. DEFINING
THEIR SECRET LOS ONE OF THE CHAT
OF C. SUIT IS THAT IT ONLY CAN
THE NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE
PROJECT WITHOUT GIVING EQUAL
CONSIDERATION TO ITS BENEFITS OR
CONSEQUENCES IF THE PROJECT IS
NOT BUILT. EXEMPTIONS CAN BE
THEIR OWN PIECEMEAL AND NOT
ALWAYS ENOUGH TO INSULATE
IMPORTANT PROJECTS TO BEING
STOPPED BY C. WAS SUIT AND
CLOSING MISTER CHAIRMAN SEQUEL

CHALLENGES TO OUR- FAILING OF

STICK TO A CORE GOALS OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PER. RYAN SO
THAT'S MY POSITION I'M NOT
CERTAIN TO HEAR FOR OTHER MEMBER
ARE. OTHERS I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE
A QUORUM YEAH. RIGHT WELL I
WOULD JUST SAY THE- THINGS FAST
THAT WE SEE SO MANY SEE BILLS
AND WE DON'T REALLY TALK THE
WHOLE SEQUEL AND SO EVERY TRYING
TO AROUND THE EDGES. DO
SOMETHING- BECAUSE ARKANSAS AND
I DON'T THINK WIENER NIPPLE.
WITH HIS. WELL DEPENDS ON WHAT
SIDE OF THE BILL OWN RIGHTS ARE
SO ANYWAY- THE IS THAT- WE
REALLY DO NEED TO TACKLE SOME OF
THESE ISSUES AND- OBVIOUSLY I
MEAN THE OPPOSITION THE CALLED
IN. IS IT OPPOSITION IN AS A-
LOT OF ADMIN MISTER MAKE SURE
THAT THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT.
AND ON THE OTHER SIDE OF IT
EVERYBODY'S WAITING FOR THEIR
SIDE THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH
SEEK WAS THAT. IT GETS USED FOR
A LOT OF THINGS THAT IT WASN'T
INTENDED TO DO IT WAS INTENDED
TO MAKE SURE THAT. IF YOU
IMPACTED SOMEBODY. NEXT DOOR- OR
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD YOU
MITIGATED THAT WAS AND IT'S FOR
LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING IT IS TURNED INTO. YOU
KNOW AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
EVERYBODY TO EXTRACT FROM THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY TRYING
TO DO SOMETHING AND- ON ON ALL
SIDES BUSINESS USES AGAINST
BUSINESS LABOR USES IT FOR LABOR
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES OF FOR.
THEIR GOALS AND THAT'S WHY WE
CAN'T ANYTHING DOWN IN
CALIFORNIA IT TAKES TWENTY FIVE
YEARS TO GET A SHOVEL IN THE
GROUND. ON A PROJECT AT THE SAME
TIME THESE PROJECTS- AT THE
BONDS THAT ARE ISSUED FORM- THE
INFLATION GOES UP AND YOU CAN
AFFORDABLE THE PROJECT BY THE
TIME YOU GET IT DONE SO. I'LL
MOVE THE BILL WHEN WE GET A CORD
OKAY. OKAY APPRECIATE IT- THANK
YOU SENATOR- WE DON'T HAVE
GROCERY HAD UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE
STILL TRYING TO GET OTHER FOLKS
TO COME ON DOWN BUT- I HAD TO DO
. YOU LOOK AT AFTER CLOSE. THANK
YOU- AND- THE REST OF THE
COMMITTEE MIGHT BE. LISTENING
IN- THE TO THE POINT OF- SENATOR
GLAZERS BILL I HAVE IN THE PAST
WHEN I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY.
VOTED AGAINST. THE SINGLE
EXCEPTION TO. A SEQUEL
REQUIREMENTS. SUPPORT PRIMARILY
SPORTS STADIUMS YEAH- BECAUSE- I
THINK. THE IT SEQUEL HAS TO BE
REFORMED. FOR EVERYTHING- BUT
STILL ANALYZE BASED UPON
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT.
SUGGESTING MITIGATION THIRTY
FERRET YOU KNOW THOSE FOUR
SYRIANS HAVE TO ME VERY HIGH. TO
HAVE TO BE VERY HIGH
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS IN ORDER
TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
EXCEPTION OF THE OF THE
STREAMLINED AS A GIVEN THE
PASSWORD IS YOUR BILL JUST. I
MYSTERY MONEY FOR A PRICE.
REGARDLESS OF THAT MEETING
ANYBODY. MODEL SET BEING SAID I
HAD TO INSTANCE. IT'S NOT IT'S
EXEMPTS. YEAH IT IT IT IS NOT AN
EXCEPTION IT DOES NOT A BIG
DIFFERENCE BIG DIFFERENCE THE
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT YEAH-
DETAILS ABOUT ALL. OF THE ONE
COULD EVEN SUGGEST THAT THIS IS
NIBBLING AT THE EDGES BUT IT'S
NIBBLING AT THE EDGES ON BEHALF
OF ALL PROJECTS. THAT MIGHT BE A
PROPOSED- ALL IT DOES IS
REQUIRE. A QUICK LITIGATION.
LITIGATE ARCS ME. DELAYED IS
JUSTICE DENIED AND THE CLEAR
OBJECTIVE. OF INTEREST GROUPS OR
INDIVIDUALS. THAT FILE A SEQUEL
LAWSUITS THAT ARE NOT
FUNDAMENTALLY BASED ON THE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE
PROJECT ALL ARE DONE WITH THE
OBJECTIVE. TO DELAY OR DEFEAT
THE PROJECT EITHER DELAY IT SO
SIGNIFICANTLY SO THAT THE
PROJECT- PROPONENT WALKS AWAY
THAT WAS NEVER THE INTENT OF
SYKORA THE INTENT OF SYKORA WAS
TO ANALYZE THE ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS OF PROJECTS. AND SUGGEST
MITIGATION MEASURES WHERE THERE
ARE NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON THE
ENVIRONMENT THAT'S PRETTY SIMPLE
THE EXECUTION OF SEACOR HAS
BECOME IN TOO MANY CASES
SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT.
AND SO- WELL I DID CO AUTHOR-
SENATOR GLAZERS BILL- I DECIDED
THAT THAT WAS WORTH IT FOR THOSE
PARTICULAR PROJECTS BUT I STILL
BELIEVE THAT THE- PROCESS THE
LEGAL PROCESS SHOULD BE
STREAMLINED IN A REASONABLE
MANNER- SO THAT THE- LITIGATION
CAN BE HANDLED QUICKLY AND THE
PROJECT IS NOT. SIGNIFICANTLY
DELAYED AND THEREFORE SICKENING
SIGNIFICANTLY ADDING TO THE TO
THE COST OF THE PROJECT OR
ABANDONED ALTOGETHER SO I
REQUEST FULLY. ASK FOR FIVE VOTE
BOARD BOTH OF THOSE OF YOU THAT
ARE HERE AS WELL AS THOSE WILL

LIKE IN. EIGHTEEN- MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS I'D PRISON. SP FIFTH
THREE. ALSO KNOWN AS THE BOTTLED
. TWENTY TWENTY. I'M HAPPY
ACCEPT COULD BE- THE COMMITTEE-
TO A- AUTHORED THAT SEQUEL. WITH
THAT THE QUEBEC SEQUEL GO. BOB
FIVE OF THE MELT- I WANT TO NOTE
THAT THE- ARE ONGOING WITH
STATE. IN KABHI CYCLING RESULT.
IN SLIGHT CHANGE TO THE-
DIPLOMAT. TIME ALL IS. WE WILL
COULD DOING WITH THIS COMMITTEE
ALL THESE ISSUES FOR. RECYCLING
HIS DICK ABOUT AND YEARS PART OF
THE REASON FOR THIS TO. IS THE
CLOSURE OF APPROXIMATELY HALF OF
ALL RECYCLING CENTERS SINCE TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN ANOTHER REASON
IS CONFUSION ABOUT WHAT CAN BE
REDEEMED CURRENTLY SIXTY FOUR
ELSE CRANBERRY JUICE COCKTAIL
BOTTLES ARE INCLUDED IN THE
PROGRAM BUT SIXTY FOUR PERCENT.
A SIXTY FOUR ALEX 1100%
CRANBERRY JUICE BOTTLES ARE NOT
. CONTINUE MY STRONG EFFORT TO
BOOST RECYCLING CALIFORNIA SB
THREE FIFTY THREE WILL ADD 1100%
FRUIT JUICE BOTTLES OVER FORTY
SIX OUNCES TO THE MIX OF
RECYCLABLES INCLUDED IN THE C.
R. V. PROGRAM. THIS WILL
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF ITEMS
RECYCLED AS MANY AS TWO HUNDRED
MILLION MORE PER YEAR
ADDITIONALLY SB THREE FIFTY
THREE WILL AUTHORIZE CAL
RECYCLED TO SET PROCESSING
PAYMENTS BASED UPON THE
PRECEDING THREE MONTH AVERAGE
SCRAP VALUE INSTEAD OF THE
CURRENT. TWELVE MONTH SCRAP
VALUE THIS CHANGE WILL ALLOW FOR
PAYMENTS TO BE MORE RESPONSIVE
TO THE CHANGES IN THE MARKET FOR
RECYCLED MATERIALS. ALTERNATELY
WE EXPECT THIS CHANGE TO THE
PROGRAM RESULT IN MORE MONEY
GOING TO SMALL BUSINESSES TO
MAKE UP THE VAST MAJORITY OF
RECYCLING CENTERS IN OUR STATE
WITH ME TODAY IS MARK MURRAY.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
CALIFORNIA'S CALIFORNIANS
AGAINST WASTE TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. GOOD
MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MARK
MURRAY WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUP CALIFORNIANS AGAINST WASTE
. PORTING THE MEASURE TO
IMPORTANT PROVISIONS ONE IS- THE
CLOSURE OF THE FRUIT JUICE
LOOPHOLE- I WAS CHANNELING EVAN
GOLDBERG- WITH THAT SO- BOB AND
THIS IS IMPORTANT NOT JUST IN
TERMS OF THE INCREASING THE
RECYCLING OF THESE CONTAINERS
BUT AS THE- CENTER POINTED OUT.
IF YOU GO TO A RECYCLING CENTER
YOU'VE GOT A SIXTY FOUR OUNCE PT
CONTAINER AND THE RECYCLER HAS
TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT IT IS
HAVE A 100% FRUIT JUICE. THEN
IT'S NOT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM
BUT IF IT'S A FRUIT JUICE
COCKTAIL THAT IT IS IN THE
PROGRAM SO THIS IS CLOSING A
LOOPHOLE IT WILL MEAN INCREASE
RECYCLING BUT ALSO REDUCE
CONFUSION FOR THE PUBLIC- AND
FOR CONSUMERS. IT'S ALSO GOING
TO HAVE A POSITIVE FINANCIAL
BENEFIT ON THE PROGRAM IN THAT A
LOT OF THOSE NON REDEEMABLE 100%
PREACHES CONTAINERS HAVE BEEN
REDEEMED THEY'RE DRAWING FROM
THE FUND BUT THEY'RE NOT PAYING
INTO THE FUND SO IT'S GOING TO.
BE A POSITIVE FINANCIALLY ON THE
PROGRAM THE OTHER VERY IMPORTANT
PROVISIONS IN THIS BILL IS A
MODEST UPDATE TO THE PROCESSING
PAYMENT PROVISIONS AND I HOPE
THAT THIS IS A DOWN PAYMENT ON
AN UPDATE OF THE PROCESSING
PAYMENT PROVISIONS. I THINK YOUR
TEAM DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF
DESCRIBING WHAT THE PROCESSING
PAYMENT DOES IN THE IMPORTANCE
OF THE PROCESSING PAYMENT TERMS
OF FUNDING RECYCLING CENTERS
FUNDING THE RECYCLING
INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS IS GOING TO
MAKE A MODEST IN THAT. HAS
POINTED OUT THE ANALYSIS THE
SCRABBLE YOU CAN FLUCTUATE-
SIGNIFICANTLY FROM MONTH TO
MONTH THERE WERE TIMES LAST YEAR
WHEN THE SCRABBLE YOU FOR PT WAS
GREATER THAN THE COST TO
RECYCLING PT SO IT WAS VALUABLE-
TO RECYCLERS BEYOND- YOU KNOW
JUST THE- THE- THE- THE
PROCESSING PAYMENT. BUT FOR MOST
OF THE YEAR IT WAS WELL BELOW
THAT. THE TWELVE MONTH AVERAGE
HE'S NOT CON COMPENSATING
RECYCLERS IN REAL TIME FOR WHAT
THEIR COSTS ARE AND RIGHT NOW
FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS SINCE.
SEPTEMBER HEY PLEASE WRAP IT UP
DESCRIBED. HE'S ON HIS WAY OUR
VALUES SPEND BELOW A HUNDRED
DOLLARS A TON SO WE NEED THIS WE
NEED THIS ABILITY OF CAL RECYCLE
TO MAKE THESE ADJUSTMENTS- IN IN
REAL TIME. PER SHARE SUPPORT.
THANK YOU. SENATE SELBY ANI- ON
BEHALF OF THE RECYCLING. THE
CALIFORNIA WE OUGHT ARE THE

LEVEL VERSUS. THE TWELVE MONTHS
WILL SUPPORT THE FORTY SIX
OUNCES AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
ON THAT AS FAR AS THE AMENDMENTS
WE APPRECIATE IN AND THE
DISCUSSIONS ARE ONGOING AND THE
CONSULTANTS IDENTIFICATION
THOSE. WE MAY SUGGEST A LIST TO
DISCUSS AS IT GOES ON. ACTUALLY
FOCUSING ON THE POST CONSUMER
RECYCLED CONTENT REQUIREMENTS

THE REPORTER CROWDS TO EVEN
ACTUALLY NEARING THAT DON'T
ACCEPT THEM FROM EVERYTHING JUST
EXEMPT THEM FROM. THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE FOR THE
NEXT YEAR TOO AS WE MOVE THOSE
PRODUCTS INTO THE- INTO THE- THE
PROGRAM AND THEN MAYBE A SALE

. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
PRESENTING SP YES EIGHTY ON. OF
STORE. THE WOULD REQUIRE CAL. TO
FRY. REDUCE OF MATH EMISSIONS
INCLUDING IMPORTED NATURAL GAS.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE JURY
CONSULTANT FOR THEIR WORK ON
THIS BILL AND ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS OUTLINED
ON PAGE SEVEN. OF THE ANALYSIS
THAT YOU KNOW MET THEME IS A
SUPER POLLUTANT WITH MORE THAN
EIGHTY TIMES. THE CLIMATE
FORCING IMPACTED FARBEN DIOXIDE.
AT LEAST 25% OF TODAY'S GLOBAL
WARMING. IS RESULT OF METHANE
FROM HUMAN ACTIVITY AND ONE OF
THE LARGEST SOURCES OF METHANE
EMISSIONS- FROM HUMAN ACTIVITY
COMES FROM OIL AND NATURAL GAS
PRODUCTION. NEARLY ALL OF THE
ACTUAL CALIFORNIA'S NATURAL GAS
IS IMPORTED AND NOT SUBJECT TO
CALIFORNIA'S OIL GAS ABOUT THE
RULES. WHILE THE STATE HAS TAKEN
IMPORTANT STEPS TO REDUCE
METHANE FROM A WIDE ARRAY OF
SOURCES IN STATE. IS IMPORTANT
THAT WE CONSIDER. IT IS A THAT
WE CONSIDER THAT SEVEN EIGHTY
ONE WILL PROVIDE SOLUTIONS BY
REQUIRING CARB. YOU SEE AND
OTHER RELEVANT AGENCIES TO
CONSIDER FURTHER METHANE
REDUCTION METHODS INCLUDING
CERTIFIED LOW ABOUT THE NATURAL
GAS IMPORTED FROM OUT OF STATE.
THIS WILL HELP CALIFORNIA
ACHIEVE ITS GHG IN SHORT LIVED
CLIMATE POLLUTANT EMISSIONS
REDUCTION GOALS LEADING TO
HEALTHIER CALIFORNIA WITH ME
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT TODAY. R.
MACHEL- APPLEGATE SENIOR
DIRECTOR OF POLICY FOR PROJECT
CANARY ED TJ CAUGHT AWAY
PRINCIPLE WITH THE ROCKY
MOUNTAIN IS TO CLIMB
INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM. GOOD
MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS TJ
CONNOLLY PRINCIPAL AT ARE MINE
I'M TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF SB
SEVEN EIGHTY ONE AN IMPORTANT
BILL THAT WILL HELP DRIVE
PRODUCTION OF METHANE EMISSIONS
FROM GAS THE CALIFORNIA
IMPORTANT PORTS DURING THIS
DECISIVE DECADE FOR THE CLIMATE.
NOTHING HAS OVER EIGHTY TIMES
THE GLOBAL WARMING IMPACT OF
CARBON DIOXIDE IN THE NEAR TERM
LAST YEAR METHANE ATMOSPHERIC
CONCENTRATIONS HIT AN ALL TIME
HIGH WITH THE LARGEST ANNUAL
INCREASE SINCE SYSTEMATIC
MEASUREMENTS BEGAN IN NINETEEN
EIGHTY THREE. CUTTING METHANE
LEAKS ACROSS THE OIL AND GAS
VALUE CHAIN IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPACTFUL COST FULL COST
EFFECTIVE ABATEMENT OPTIONS BY
REQUIRING STATE AGENCIES TO
CERTIFY LOWLY GAS PROCUREMENT
THIS BILL CAN DRIVE METHANE
EMISSIONS CUTS IN CALIFORNIA AND
FAR BEYOND. BILL IS POWERFUL FOR
SEVERAL REASONS FIRST IT
RECOGNIZES THAT CALIFORNIA'S
EMISSIONS STEM FROM PRODUCERS
AND SHIPPERS BEYOND THE STATE'S
BORDERS A BIG SHARE OF EMISSIONS
GOES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE LONG
BEFORE COMBUSTION IN A POWER
PLANT. THIS BILL WOULD SPUR
BUYERS TO INCORPORATE UPSTREAM
METHANE EMISSIONS INTO THEIR
PURCHASING DECISIONS. SECOND
THIS BILL WOULD CAPITALIZE ON
CALIFORNIA'S TREMENDOUS MARKET
POWER CALIFORNIA'S SECOND
LARGEST CONSUMER OF GAS AFTER
TEXAS. AND UNLIKE TEXAS
CALIFORNIA DEPENDS HEAVILY ON
IMPORTED GAS WITH NEARLY 90% OF
ITS GAS SOURCE FROM OUT OF
STATE. BY REQUIRING THE PURCHASE
OF THE METHANE GAS CALIFORNIA
CAN INFLUENCE PRODUCERS OUTSIDE
THE STATE TO SIGNIFICANTLY CUT
THEIR EMISSIONS. THIRD THIS BILL
UNDERSCORES THAT CERTIFICATION
CAN PLAY A KEY ROLE IN CREATING
A LOW METHANE GAS MARKET IF THE
STANDARD IS TRANSPARENT AND
RELIABLE. SB SEVENTY ONE WILL
TEST THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD TO
APPROVE A MUCH NEEDED LOW
METHANE CERTIFICATION. CAN BE
TECHNICALLY ROBUST OPEN SOURCE
AND FREE FROM CONFLICT OF
INTEREST. CALIFORNIA HAS PUT IN
PLACE POLICIES TO CUT EMISSIONS
FROM IMPORTED ELECTRICITY AND
TRANSPORT FUELS WE NOW MUST DO
THE SAME FOR DOMESTIC AND
IMPORTED GAS. EVEN WHILE
ADVANCING DEMAND SIDE EFFORTS TO
TRANSITION AWAY FROM FOSSIL
FUELS. THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY AND
WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR OF THE
COMMITTEE. ON PERMITS IN THE
BILL. THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME'S MICHELLE MORMON APPLEGATE
AND I AM HERE AS THE SENIOR
DIRECTOR OF POLICY FOR PROJECT
CANARY AND WE ARE HERE IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. WE ARE AN
ENVIRONMENTAL DATA AND
TECHNOLOGY COMPANY A MISSION
DRIVEN B. CORPORATION WITH THE
GOAL OF DECARBONISING THE
NATURAL GAS SUPPLY CHAIN.
CALIFORNIA CAN MAKE A MEANINGFUL
IMPACT TODAY IN THE BATTLE
AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH
SIMPLE MEANS SUCH AS
PRIORITIZING. THE PROCUREMENT OF
CERTIFIED LOW EMISSION NATURAL
GAS THAT QUANTIFIES AND REPORTS
AN ACTUAL METHANE INTENSITY. WE
CAN MAKE SUBSTANTIAL AND
MATERIAL REDUCTIONS IN
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
HAPPENED TODAY BY STOPPING THE
INTERMITTENTLY. THAT KERR IN THE
ENERGY SUPPLY CHAIN. WE BELIEVE
YOU CAN'T MANAGE IF YOU DON'T
MEASURE AND THE BILL BEFORE YOU
TODAY POSITIONS CALIFORNIA TO
SET A NEW PERFORMANCE STANDARD
AND STOP THE LEAKS. USING ITS
INFLUENCE AND ENERGY MARKETS TO
PROCURE NATURAL GAS THEY
MEASURED METHANE INTENSITY. TO
MAXIMIZE OUR CLIMATE BENEFIT WE
MUST STRIVE TO DRIVE THE METHANE
INTENSITY AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
BUT NOT HIGHER THAN ZERO POINT
2% THE T. DIMENSION CALIFORNIA
IS THE SECOND LARGEST CONSUMER
NATURAL GAS IN THIS COUNTRY. I
JUST OVER TWO TRILLION CUBIC
FEET AND TWENTY TWENTY WITH 90%
PRODUCED IN OTHER STATES AND
COUNTRIES. IF THE GAS THAT WAS
PRODUCED FOR CALIFORNIA WAS
MEASURED WITH THE METHANE
INTENSITY ZERO POINT 2% INSTEAD
OF THE ONE POINT 38% ESTIMATED
BY EDF. THAT'S THE EQUIVALENT OF
THIRTY SIX MILLION METRIC TONS
OF CO TWO. FOUR TAKING EIGHT
MILLION CARS OFF THE ROAD
ANNUALLY. TARGETING METHANE
REDUCTION ON IMPORTED NATURAL
GAS WILL DRIVE ADOPTION IN OTHER
SEGMENTS OF THE ENERGY SUPPLY
CHAIN INCLUDING THE PIPELINE
INDUSTRY. WE CAN ACCELERATE THE
DECARBONISATION OF THESE FUEL
SOURCES TODAY AND A BAY MILLIONS
OF METRIC TONS OF CO TWO. YEARS
AHEAD OF THE STATE'S DEADLINES
FOR EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATING
FOSSIL FUEL USE. CALIFORNIA CAN
SIGNAL TO THE GLOBAL OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY THAT ONLY CERTIFIED LOW
EMISSION NATURAL GAS WITH A
MEASURED METHANE INTENSITY IS
ZERO POINT 2% OR LESS IS
ACCEPTABLE. BUDGET CANARY THANK
SENATOR STERN AND SENATOR DODD

YOU PLEASE PRESS ONE ZERO AT
THIS TIME. AND CURRENTLY NOBODY
IN Q. B. WELL BRING IT BACK TO
MYSELF THEN AND- I DO HAVE A
QUESTION- AND MAYBE I KNOW THAT
YOU'RE PRESENTING THIS BILL FOR
CENTER STERN- BUT I DO WANT TO
GET ON THE RECORD BECAUSE IT'S
SOMETHING I CONCERNED ABOUT. TO
THIS BILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN
TWENTY TWENTY SIX AND THIS IS
GOING TO SET CALIFORNIA. INTO
THE SAME CATEGORY WE HAVE WITH
FUELS WHICH WE HAVE A LOW CARBON
FUEL IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS A
SPECIAL BLEND. AND WE HAVE SINCE
WE'VE JUST PASSED LAWS TO FIGURE
OUT HOW COME OUR PRICES ARE
HIGHER IF CALIFORNIA WHICH IS
THE LARGEST. CONSUMER OF NATURAL
GAS- IS NOW. GOING TO BE BY
TWENTY TWENTY SIX IN THAT SAME
CATEGORY AS WE ARE WITH DIESEL
AND GAS. DO YOU EXPECT THE PRICE
TO GO UP AND YOU EXPECT THE
ABILITY FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO
GAME THE SYSTEM. LIKE WE JUST
HEARD ABOUT LAST WEEK OUT THERE
THESE BAD PEOPLE ARE GOING TO
COME AND YOU KNOW TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF ALL OF MY CONSTITUENTS. WHICH
IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS OR
MONTHS HAVE BEEN PAYING.
EXORBITANT PRICES FOR NATURAL
GAS AND WE'RE NOT IN ANY
CATEGORY RIGHT NOW SO I WOULD
LIKE FOR YOU TO TALK ABOUT THAT
MAYBE FOR SECOND CERTAINLY AND I
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION. SO
CURRENTLY CERTIFIED LOW EMISSION
GAS IS BEING PRODUCED IN ALL OF
THE MAJOR BASES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND IT IS BEING PRODUCED
IN BASINS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
PROVIDING GUEST CALIFORNIA.
RIGHT NOW THERE MAY BE A PREMIUM
ASSOCIATED BUT THE PREMIUMS AND
IS INCREDIBLY SMALL WE'RE
TALKING ONE TO FIVE PENNIES PER
MM BTU. AND SO WE DO NOT EXPECT
THERE TO BE A SIGNIFICANT PRICE
INCREASE AND IN FACT AS THERE'S
MORE TO OPTION ACROSS THE
INDUSTRY WE EXPECT THAT PREMIUM
TO DECLINE OVER TIME AS WE
EXPECT THE PRODUCERS. DOING
THIS- WILL WILL BASICALLY
BALANCE OUT THE COST. SO YOU'RE
TELLING ME THAT. BASICALLY IF
YOU'RE NEARING UP THIS AMOUNT
THAT CAN BE AVAILABLE THAT THE
PRICE IS GOING TO GO UP A COUPLE
CENTS. NO I'M SAYING THAT AS THE
AMOUNT THAT'S AVAILABLE
INCREASES THE PRICE WILL WILL GO
DOWN IN LEVEL AND IF THAT AMOUNT
DOESN'T INCREASE WHAT HAPPENS.
WELL RIGHT NOW IT'S ZERO THE
RIGHT NOW PREMIUMS BEING PAID OR
ZERO TO FIVE CENTS PER AND THEN
BE TO YOU AND I THINK YOU CAN
EXPECT THAT TO BE THE CASE.
THERE ARE ARE FEES THAT ARE
GOING OUT FOR CERTIFIED GAS THEY
GET ZERO PREMIUM. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. GOOD ANSWER I WON'T
BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL SENATOR-

AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY'S BEEN A
LEADER ON METHANE EMISSION
REDUCTION. AS LARS SB THIRTEEN
EIGHTY EIGHT SET A TARGET OF 40%
METHANE EMISSIONS REDUCTION.
FROM THE AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY BY
TWENTY THIRTY. HOWEVER THIS
TARGET EXCLUDED EMISSIONS FROM
ENTERIC FERMENTATION THE TWENTY
TWENTY TO SCOPING PLAN FINDS IT
TO MEET ITS EMISSIONS GOALS
CALIFORNIA SHOULD QUOTE
EMPLOYMENT INTERPRETATIONS THAT
ARE COST EFFECTIVE
SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN SAFER
ANIMAL HUMAN HEALTH AND
ACCEPTABLE TO CONSUMERS. AND
THAT DO NOT IMPACT AND LOW
PRODUCTIVITY END QUOTE PROVIDE
FINANCIAL CENTERS FOR THE
STRATEGIES AS NEEDED. MOREOVER
THE CALIFORNIA RESOURCES BOARD

ADOPTIVE OF FEED ADDITIVES. THE
BILL CREATED OFFSET PROGRAM
REQUIRES CARP TO SET THE COURAGE
VOLUNTARY ADOPTION OF FEED
ADDITIVES ONCE THERE
DEMONSTRATED SCIENTIFICALLY BE
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IN THE LONG
RUN. THIS LEGISLATION FURTHER
PLACES THIS PROGRAM AS WELL AS
THE OTHER TWO LIVESTOCK METHANE
PROGRAMS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE. UNDER THE
SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD TO
ENSURE THAT WERE USING LONG TERM
EFFECTIVE METHODS OVER METHODS
OF REDUCING METHANE. I WANT TO
THANK OUR INDUSTRY PARTNERS THAT
ARE WORKING WITH US TO ENSURE
THIS LEGISLATION GIVES THEM
ENOUGH CERTAINTY ABOUT THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY. OF THEIR

AND- WE SHOULD NOTE THAT IN

SEE- YOU KNOW THE INFLATION IS
HAPPENING SO THE MONEY THAT WE
APPROPRIATED IN. IN BONDS IN TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN OUR- THAT THAT
MONEY'S NOT GONNA GOES FAR. I'D
LIKE TO JUST CLOSE WITH THE CITY
AND I KNOW THAT. I WASN'T AWARE
OF THE OPPOSITION AS WELL- BUT
YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST CAME TO
THE LEGISLATURE- THERE WAS MANY
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS WHO THOUGHT
WE SHOULDN'T. THE TREES IN THE

THOUSAND. AND TWELVE BEFORE WE
HAD TO MAKE A FAR AS I WAS

THE HAZARDOUS WASTE CONTROL ACT
TO AUTHORIZE COUNTY COUNCILS TO
PROSECUTE THESE VIOLATIONS. IN
ORDER TO PROMOTE A LEVEL PLAYING

CONFORMING CHANGES TO SEVERAL
RELATED STATUTES. THESE INCLUDE
OTHER ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS OF
THE ACT. THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
BUSINESS PLAN PROGRAM THE
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK PROGRAM
THE ABOVE GROUND PETROLEUM
STORAGE ACT PROGRAM IN THE
MEDICAL WASTE PROGRAM. THIS
INCOMPLETE AUTHORITY LIMITS
COUNTY COUNCIL'S ABILITY TO

FOR EXAMPLE THE ABOVE GROUND
PETROLEUM STORAGE PROGRAM
REQUIRES CERTAIN PETROLEUM
STORAGE FACILITIES TO DEVELOP
AND IMPLEMENT THE SPILL
PREVENTION CONTROL AND

LEGISLATURE HAS VESTED CIVIL
PROSECUTION TORY AUTHORITY AND
COUNTY COUNCILS IN NUMEROUS
STATUTES INCLUDING THE UNFAIR
COMPETITION LAW FALSE

ABATEMENT ACTS IN THE PUBLIC
NUISANCE LAW. LAST YEAR THE
LEGISLATURE GRANTED COUNTY
COUNCILS AND CITY ATTORNEYS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE THE
AUTHORITY TO TAKE CIVIL
ENFORCEMENT ACTION AGAINST AND
LICENSED CANNABIS CULTIVATION IN
ORDER TO HELP PROTECT OUR WATER
SUPPLY AND QUALITY. THIS BILL IS
A CLEAN UP THE MEASURE IN
MULTIPLE SENSES. AS A SENATOR
MENTIONED THE FUNDAMENTAL POLICY
DECISION TO GIVE COUNTY
COUNCIL'S ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY
IN THIS AREA WAS MADE IN
NINETEEN NINETY THREE. AT THE
REQUEST OF THE AUTO DISPENSER
SOCIAIS ASIAN BUSINESSES

RURAL COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES OF
CALIFORNIA R. C. R. C.
REPRESENTS FORTY OF THE STATE'S
FIFTY EIGHT COUNTIES INCLUDING
NEARLY ALL WITH POPULATIONS
BETWEEN ELEVEN HUNDRED AND FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND RESIDENTS.
WE'RE PLEASED TO SPONSOR SB SIX
FORTY TWO TODAY BECAUSE IT
PROVIDES ANOTHER TOOL IN THE
TOOLBOX FOR LOCALS. TO ADDRESS
VIOLATIONS THAT IMPACT PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY RELATED TO
ABOVE GROUND STORAGE TANKS
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS AND
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS BUSINESS
PLANS. THESE ARE VIOLATIONS THAT
COULD POSE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS
INCLUDING THREATS TO FIRST
RESPONDERS THAT ARE RESPONDING
TO AN EMERGENCY IT REGULATED
FACILITY. FOR NOT SEEKING TO
NECESSARILY ADDRESS ANY PAST
PROBLEMS BUT MERELY TO PROVIDE
SOME ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY
GOING FORWARD SHOULD THE NEED
ARISE. IN THE EVENT THAT ONE OF
THESE CASES DOESN'T RISE TO THE
LEVEL OF THE AG BRINGING AN
ACTION. FOR THE DA OTHERWISE
DOESN'T HAVE CAPACITY TO ADDRESS
THIS. THIS ALLOWS FLEXIBILITY
FOR LOCAL COUNTY COUNCILS TO
PURSUE THE ISSUE. THIS
FLEXIBILITY IS ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT AND MANY OF OUR
SMALLER RURAL COMMUNITIES. WHERE
WE HAVE FEWER RESOURCES BOTH AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL AND ALSO WITH
THE DA- IN SOME CASES THE DA MAY
HAVE OTHER CRIMINAL
ENVIRONMENTAL CASES THAT ARE
TAKING THEIR ATTENTION-
INCLUDING ILLEGAL CANNABIS
GROWS. AND SO WE REALLY PERJURE
SUPPORT OF SB SIX FORTY TWO
TODAY TO IMPROVE LOCAL
FLEXIBILITY AND NOT A TOOL TO
OUR TOOLBOX EDMUND ADMITTEDLY A
TOOL THAT WE HOPE WE DON'T HAVE
TO USE. BUT A TOOL THAT COULD BE
VERY HELPFUL IF THE NEED ARISES
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS THAT MAY ARISE AND-

HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND TO
GIVE THE DA'S THE FIRST RIGHT OF
REFUSAL. THIS BILL SEEKS TO DO
MORE THAN WHAT IS STATED.
INSTEAD OF BEING A BILL THAT
CONFORMS. TO THE INTENT TO. THE
CONFORMS TO THE LAW. TO THE
INTENT OF AB NINETEEN THIRTY
FOUR. FROM NINETEEN NINETY THREE
THAT THAT WAS MENTIONED THIS
BILL INSTEAD EXPANDS PROSTITUTE
FORTY THE COUNTY COUNCIL'S.
BEYOND WAY STATUTES. AT OUTSIDE
OF CHAPTER SIX POINT FIVE WHICH
WAS THE ONLY STATUE THAT WAS
AMENDED BY NINETEEN THIRTY FOUR
. NINE OF THE FIFTEEN CODE
SECTIONS THIS BILL. AMENDS ARE
NOT IN CHAPTER SIX POINT FIVE.
THE RESULT OF THIS EXPANSIVE
PROFIT TOTAL POWER WOULD BE TO
ALLOW THE ABSOLUTE WORST.
ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATORS. AND
VIOLATIONS ESCAPE. CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION. AND INSTEAD RUN A
CHECK AS A COST OF DOING
BUSINESS. BECAUSE WHEN COUNTY
COUNCIL VALUE IT'S AN
ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATION. THEY DO
SO WITH THE TOOLS. THEY HAVE.
SYBIL TRAINING AND CIVIL
REMEDIES. NOT CRIMINAL ONES. SO
THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW A CRIMINAL
VIOLATION. TO BY PASS CRIMINAL
PROSECUTORS. THANK GO TO
ATTORNEYS WITH AGAIN CIVIL
TRAINING AND CIVIL REMEDIES NOT
CRIMINAL ONCE. ENVIRONMENTAL
VIOLATIONS DESERVE TO BE
EVALUATED FOR NOT ONLY CIVIL
REMEDIES. CONDOLENCES WELL THANK
YOU. TO LISTEN. WHY WHAT'S
STOPPING. I THIS THIS IS STILL
POSSIBLE REMEDIES ANY THERE'S
NOTHING STOPPING A PROSECUTOR
FROM THE DA'S OFFICE TO PURSUE
CRIMINAL ENTITIES IF THEY WANT
TO. RIGHT BUT WHAT WHAT THIS
BILL WOULD ALLOW WOULD WOULD
ALLOW A COOPER OR OTHER PROGRAM
AGENCY TO REFER A CASE STRAIGHT
TO COUNTY COUNCIL RIGHT WITHOUT
ALERTING THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY
WITHOUT THAT THE SECURITY EVER
EVEN KNOWING. SO THE BLACK GOES
TO A COUNTY COUNCIL IS NEVER YOU
VALUE WAITED FOR CRIMINAL
PROSECUTOR CAN PROVIDE ANY CASE
HE WANTS FOR CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION NOT IF THEY DON'T
KNOW ABOUT IT. AND THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY IN. THE CASE. THIS
EXAMS OF. IT'S AS THOUGH. PEOPLE
ARE FINE OUT AT SOME POINT ABOUT
THINGS. ALL THE DIFFERENT OFFICE
IS AREN'T AWAY OF THE OF THE
VIOLATE ARE HAVE THE ONLY MADE
AWAY BY THE COOPER. SO IT AND
THEN MADE WHEN THE COUPLE MAKES
REFERRAL AND NOTHING COOPER FROM
ALL REFERRING TO THE DA. RIGHT
THAT THAT'S TRUE BUT IF A COOPER
SEES THE CASE IN THE SIDES-
PRIOR CASES THAT WERE. THAT WERE
PITCHED THE DA'S OFFICE- WERE
TAKEN OR DIDN'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES FOR OR WHAT WHATEVER
IT THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT THE
DA'S ARE DROPPING THE BALL ON
THE ON PERSONALLY THESE CASES
WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE MORE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR. ENFORCEMENT
BUT NOTHING'S LIMITING THE POWER
OF THE DA TO. TO PURSUE CRIMINAL
ACTION IF IT WANTS TO WHAT AND
THERE'S NO THERE'S NO HIDING THE
BALL HERE IT'S NOT LIKE. THE DA
CAN'T- FIND OUT ABOUT THIS. I
DON'T KNOW OF A SINGLE. OF A OF
A COOPER PITCHED CASE THE DA'S
OFFICE SAID WE LIKE TO RESOURCES
THAT THAT COULD YOU JUST SAID
THAT THAT'S THE REASON WHY
COOPER WOULD GO TO A CIVIL- TO
THESE TO THE CIVIL FORTUNATE
TORIES WHAT. THE REASON- OF
COOPER MIGHT GO IS BECAUSE THEY
THEY FEEL THAT THEIR CASE WAS
TURNED DOWN FOR WHATEVER REASON
THEY FEEL SO IF UNDERSTOOD FOR
BLACKHAM RESOURCES OR OR JUST
NOT TAKE UP THE CASE RIGHT AND
THAT'S WHAT THEY MIGHT BELIEVE
THE REASON WAS IT WAS TURNED
DOWN WHEN. IN FACT OF THE CASE
WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE THERE
WAS NOT ADEQUATE PROOF TO PROVE
BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT WAS
THAT SCHOOL STANDARDS OF DS SO
IT WHICH IS WHICH IS THE WHICH
IS THE CRIMINAL PERCENT THAT'S
THE CRIMINAL STANDARD. RIGHT
THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES YOU PURSUE
A CIVIL REMEDY. CORRECT SOME. SO
FIFTY S. IS THAT IF THERE
WORRIED ABOUT THE THRASH. THEN
THAT THE CIVIL ENFORCEMENT
REMEDIES BETTER ANYWAY RIGHT.
RIGHT BUT WHAT I'M SAYING WHAT
THE THRESHOLD IS IF A PRIOR CASE
WAS NOT TAKEN BECAUSE OF
THRESHOLD AND BECAUSE OF THAT.
THE CUB PITCHER THE CASE
STRAIGHT TO A COUNTY COUNCIL.
THAT VIOLATION WILL NEVER BE OF
VALUE WOULD FOR CRIMINAL
PROSECUTORS NOTHING STOPPING THE
DAY FROM DOING IT IF IT WANTS
TO. DO YOU CAN'T TAKE A CASE I
DON'T KNOW ABOUT. YEAH I MEAN I
SO AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S
BEEN. AMENDMENTS DISCUSSED
ABOUT. NOTICE I MEAN I GUESS WE
COULD LOOK IT MAY BE REQUIRING
THE- BUT TO. YOU KNOW GIVE A
HEADS UP TO THE LOCAL DA AS
THEY'RE REFERRING THE CASE I
MEAN THAT'S SOMETHING WE COULD
CONSIDER IF THAT'S THE CONCERN.
THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THE DA IS
AT LEAST AWARE. THAT THIS IS
THIS INVESTIGATION IS BEING.
REFERRED I DO THINK THAT
ALLEVIATE SOME CONCERNS- WHEN.
THE MINUTES WERE DISCUSSED- I'M
HOLDING LIGHT AMENDMENTS WAS WAS
THE RESPONSE- SO I THINK THAT
AMONG SIMILAR CONCERNS- DETAILED
IN THE LETTER OR- OR WHAT THE
WHAT THE PROSECUTORS. OUTLINED
IN FORGET WHEN ASKED. FOR A
SINGLE EXAMPLE THE NEW CASE.
PLEASE DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCE
TO PROSECUTE NUMBER GIVEN
THERE'S A THERE'S A PLETHORA. OF
INFORMAL PROSECUTORS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE THE WITH. PROSECUTORS
IN THE STATE LEAD THE NATION. IN
A FINAL PROSECUTION I DON'T
THINK THERE'S ANY INTEREST ON
THE PART OF THIS COMMITTEE TO
HAMPER THE- YOU KNOW THE- ROBUST
ENVIRONMENTAL PROSECUTION FROM
THE DA'S. SO LISTEN I APPRECIATE
YOUR COMMENTS THIS OP HE'S GOING
TO JUDICIARY. I HATE I MORE I'M
TAKING OUT OF THIS COLLOQUY
WHICH I APPRECIATE YOU REACHING
AND- IS- IS THAT MAYBE THERE BE
THERE OUGHT TO BE SOME. SORT OF
MECHANISM WHEREBY- D. AS WITH AT
LEAST GIVEN NOTE- SO THE THEY
CAN ALSO CONSIDER- BUT BUT I BUT
I WITH SOME. RESPECT I CAN'T
HELP BUT FEEL AS THOUGH AT LEAST
SOME OF THE OPPOSITION IS JUST
KIND OF BASIC TURF STUFF. O. DOT
AT ALL- IN MY COUNTY AND IN IN
MY COLLEAGUES COUNTIES THAT WE
DISCUSSED THIS WITH REGULATIONS
THAT'S WHAT COUNTY COUNCIL AND I
KNOW WE CAN'T SPEAK TO EVERYBODY
A LOT OF FOR COUNTIES A LOT OF
DIFFERENT. RESOURCES AND IN
DIFFERENT SHAPES AND FORMS- BUT
YOU KNOW THE PART OF THE CONCERN
IS A CASE GOES THE COUNTY
COUNCIL AND- FOR COUNTY COUNCIL
OFTEN. USE OUTSIDE- DID YOU SEE
VERY CONTENT BASED- FOR. AND
THAT KIND OF OPENS THE DOOR TO
SOME KIND OF THE PIECES THAT WE
SEE IN THE PAST WITH SOME OF
THESE CIVIL STATUTES. THE ONE
FORCE OF MECHANISMS AND THAT'S
YOU KNOW AN ADDITIONAL WORRY UP
FOR PROSPER SECURES TO.
PROSECUTE ON BEHALF OF THE
PEOPLE ON BEHALF OF AN ELECTED
PERSON AS A AS OPPOSED TO
CLIENTS LIKE KERN COUNTY OKAY. I
SAID DID YOU WANT TO DID YOU
WANT TO JUST LOOK AT A DIFFERENT
THOUGHT I'M SORRY I NESTLING
USUAL BUT I DO APPRECIATE THIS
OPPORTUNITY. I'M JUST. TO A CALL
IS ONE- SMALLER COUNTIES UNDER
SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND ARE
OFTEN THE ONES THAT WILL NEED
THIS THE MAPS OF THE- LIMITED
RESOURCES CAPSULE SOME OF THE
SMALLEST COUNTIES WE DO
CONTRACTOR FOR COUNTY. COUNCIL
OPERATIONS BUT THAT'S NO
DIFFERENT THAN A LOT OF SMALLER
CITIES THE CITY I LIVE IN NY
SACRAMENTO AS LONG CONTRACTED
OUT FOR CITY COUNCIL- ACT.
COUNCIL ADVICE. TO SOME OF OUR
SMALLER COUNTIES ARE IN THE SAME
BOAT. THESE COUNCILS ARE STILL.
AT THE- SECOND CALL OF THE
ELECTED SUPERVISORS AND
ANSWERABLE TO THEM. AND SO I
DON'T SEE RAMPANT- ABUSE OR-
EIGHTY EIGHT TYPE LITIGATION
BEING BROUGHT IN MANY OF THESE
COUNTIES I THINK THEY WOULD BE
VERY AVERSE TO THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND MANY OF THE SMALLER
COUNTIES. OKAY I PURCHASED THIS-
AND I APPRECIATE THE DILIGENCE
OF MY DEVICE CHAIR- LET'S LET'S
LET'S NOW HERE FOR ANYONE ELSE
WHO WANTS TO RAISE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL- AND- STICK
AROUND BECAUSE I'M SURE DOLLY
ONCE ASKS MORE QUESTIONS- ANYONE
ON THE PHONE LINES. WENT AWAY
AND ON THE BILL. I WOULD LIKE TO
PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ON THE
BILL PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN ZERO
AT THIS TIME. AND WE HAVE NO
COMMENT COMING OKAY ALL RIGHT
GREAT RIGHT- ANY COMMENTS
QUESTIONS CONCERNS CALL AND
SPEAK WITH. HIM THE NO COLLAR
SOPHIA YEAH YES IDEA ARE A REAL
VICE CHAIR THE REAL THING WE
SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT OKAY
THAT OF WHOSE TURF. IS TAKEN UP
IS. IS THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH
THE BILL IS THAT AND I'VE
MENTIONED IT TO THE FOLKS ARE
STARSIEGE HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR
BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT REALLY
SMALL COUNTIES LIKE THE COUNTY I
WAS A SUPERVISOR IN. THIRTEEN OF
THE DAY- THE COOPERS- IT WHEN
THEY FIND SOMEBODY IT'S S. THE
FOX WATCHING THE HENHOUSE
BECAUSE THAT THOSE FINE MONIES
COME BACK AND THEY'RE ALL
STRAPPED FOR. RESOURCES WHETHER
IT'S THE DA OR WHETHER IT'S THE
COUNTY COUNCIL. AND WHEN YOU
HAPPEN TO THOUGHT YOU HAVE THE
ABILITY. TO FINE AND THOSE
RESOURCES COME BACK TO YOU
YOU'RE GONNA GO OUT AND FIND
MORE PEOPLE SO I WANT TO JUST
SHARE. I ACTUALLY HAD A FUEL
SUPPLIER I'M NOT I'M NOT GONNA
NAME THE COUNTY- BUT DID THE
FIRST THING THE COOPER ASK YOU
IS IF IN VIOLATION THEY THERE
WAS A VIOLATION. BY THE WAY NOT
ONE DROP OF FUEL WAS SPILLED
THERE WAS NO ENVIRONMENTAL
PROBLEM IT WAS A REPORTING ISSUE
. AND THE FIRST THING ON THE
FORM THEY ASK USE WHAT YOUR
GROSS RECEIPTS. FOR YOUR
BUSINESS SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU
MOVE LOTS OF FUEL THERE'S IT WAS
VERY HIGH SO. I THINK SOME OF
THEIR SOME ABILITY TO TARGET.
PRODUCERS WHO HAVE THE ABILITY
TO BE ABLE TO PAY AND SO. MY
EXPERIENCE WAS NOT GOOD WITH THE
WITH THE- COUNTY THAT WAS TAKING
IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND A LOT
OF THESE ARE NEGOTIATED AND
SETTLED FINES AND SO AND THAT'S
FINE GO BACK TO THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE FORCING. LAW SO THAT'S
MICHAEL THAT'S MY BIGGEST ISSUE
WITH THIS IS LOOK CAN COUNCILS
OF THE BILL TO DO IT I LIKE THE
FACT THAT DJS ARE ELECTED. AND
THERE'S THEY'RE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
TO THAT COUNTY COUNCILS ARE
APPOINTED BY. STATE CITY BOARDS
OR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
WHICH IS. YOU KNOW SOMEONE IN
THERE BUT- MY BIG QUESTION IS
YOU HAVE THE FOX WATCHING THE
HENHOUSE. AND IT'S VERY. THERE'S
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE
TO BE ABLE TO ABUSE THAT SYSTEM.
AND FORGIVE AND PRODUCE FINES-
OUT WHEN THERE IS REALLY NO
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE SO. THAT'S
THE THING I THINK WE SHOULD BE
FOCUSED ON AND MAKE SURE THAT
I'D LIKE TO SEE A SUNSET ON THIS
BILL ACTUALLY WOULD BE GREAT. WE
COULD TRY IT FOR A FEW YEARS AND
SEE WHAT HAPPENS AND THEN. IF
WE- DON'T HAVE CONCERNS WE CAN
CONTINUE TO A LOT OF WORK AND IF
NOT WE CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUES
THAT COME OUT OF IT- WHEN YOU
SEE NO INTERNAL DAMAGE CENTER I
GUESS. THE THESE ARE ALL
HAZARDOUS WASTE VIOLATIONS- SO
AN INMATE YOU KNOW I MEAN UNLESS
UNLESS THERE'S SOME SORT OF
RAMPANT ABUSE AND AMONGST THE
COUNTY COUNCIL'S AYE AYE I JUST.
DON'T KNOW I DON'T KNOW THAT I
AGREE WITH THAT ARE YOU STILL.
YOU STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO
FIND. YEAH AND WHEN YOU HAVE THE
ABILITY TO FIND YOU'RE GOING TO
GET MORE FINES IF THAT MONEY
GOES BACK TO YOUR ORGANIZATION
WHICH IS TYPICALLY SUFFERING.
ESPECIALLY IN BUDGET YEARS WORK
STUFF BUT THERE'S A THERE'S A
REMEDY IF FOR COUNTY COUNCIL AS-
YOU KNOW IS ACTING IN AN-
ARBITRARY CAPRICIOUS UNJUSTIFIED
MANNER. ANYWAY OKAY RIGHT I'VE-
MET WITH THE SOFT LOOK I KNOW I
KNOW BILL'S TO PASS IT DIDN'T.
IF ARE AN BILL AND YOU'RE
GETTING HARASSED OR YOU'RE
GETTING IT'S DEMEANING YOU HAVE
THOSE CALLS WHICH I'VE HAD.
THERE WAS NO. DROP OF OIL SPILL
ANYWHERE IT'S A REPORTING
PROCESS. YOU FEEL ABUSED AND YOU
KNOW IT SOUNDS GREAT WE WENT
AFTER TWENTY FIVE- WE RAISED A
MILLION DOLLARS AND IT GOES
RIGHT INTO THE POT AND IT'S-
IT'S NOT RIGHT TO TAKE TACK
VIOLATIONS. YEAH WHEN IT
HAPPENS. IT HAPPENS BECAUSE-
THEY NEED MONEY TO RUN THERE SO
SHE THEIR ORGANIZATION. THAT I
GETS DH COULD DO THE SAME THING
I GUESS. BUT THE POINT IS THERE
HAS TO BE SOME SOME. GUARD RAILS
ON IT THAT. IT THAT IF YOU'RE
THAT FINING AGENCY AND THE MONEY
GOES BACK TO YOU THE CARD DOES
THE SAME THING. THE MONEY GOES
BACK TO THEM SO THERE'S
INCENTIVE TO GO FIND PEOPLE.
WELL I WOULD I WOULD LIKE TO DO
SOME OF THE BILL PASSES OUT WHAT
LIKE TO REFER. TO ISSUES TO
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ONE THIS
ISSUE OF NOTICE TO THE DA'S IT
WAS REYES AND I THINK. YOUR
ISSUE OF ENSURING THAT- THIS IS
A ABOUT. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
- BECAUSE BECAUSE TO SEND ISSUE
RAISING IS A- QUESTIONS ABOUT.
IT'S ABOUT. PROSECUTORIAL ABUSE
BECAUSE OUR CIVIL CASES BUT
NONE. BUT FORSMAN ABUSE I
SUPPOSE THAT'S JUDICIARY
QUESTION- HEY HOW ARE YOU. USA
SOMETHING BAD MAY ADDRESS ONE OF
THE POINTS THAT WAS BROUGHT UP
OKAY. THANK YOU AND IT TO SPEAK
TO SOME OF THE ENFORCEMENT AND
JUDGMENT MECHANISMS. THAT'S
ANOTHER. POINT WITH. YOU KNOW
THE DA'S BEEN DOING THIS FOR NOW
DECADES THERE'S TRAININGS
THERE'S A THERE'S A STATEWIDE.
ORGANIZATION THAT THE
PROSECUTORS USED TO DISCUSS IT
TREAT EVERY. EVERY SINGLE
VIOLATOR FAIRLY AND USE FUNDS TO
GO BACK TO ORGANIZATIONS THAT
HELP REMEDY SITUATIONS. SO NOW
OPENING THESE KIND OF JUDGEMENTS
IN THESE KIND OF VIOLATIONS OF
THESE KIND OF FINES UP TO.
OFFICES WHO HAVE NEVER DONE THIS
CAN LEAD TO SOME SOME OF THE
THAT THE ISSUES THAT WERE
BROUGHT UP OKAY THANK YOU. AND
MISTER RESTER. SO I JUST WANT TO
MAKE ONE MORE COMMENT BECAUSE
THIS IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM. WE
HAVE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AND THE- IS A RAPPER. OF OUR
STAR UP ILLEGAL GROW. I WILL
GIVE THERE'S NO D. A. ARE I HAVE
NOT SEEN ONE. OR OR COOPER OR
ANYBODY GOING AFTER ANYBODY
THAT'S GROUP THAT DAMAGE THE
ENVIRONMENT. FOR MARIJUANA NOT
ONE IN THE ELEVEN COUNTIES THAT
I REPRESENT NOT ONE OF THEM WILL
GO OUT THERE YOU AND THE REASON
IS. THERE FEARFUL. BECAUSE THERE
ARE PEOPLE WITH. FIREARMS THERE
ARE A LOT AND THEY DON'T DO ANY
THAT NONE OF THIS EVER HAPPENS.
TO THE ILLEGAL GUY IT ALL
HAPPENS TO THE GUY WHO'S
ACTUALLY A PER MANY. WHO IS
TRYING TO. GET THE JOB DONE AND
SO IF YOU CAN SHOW ME SOMEWHERE
IN THE STATE WHERE WE'VE
ACTUALLY WENT IN AND WITH NOW
THERE'S COUNTIES OF WOMEN IN
TAKE OUT GROSS BUT THEY NEVER
FIND ANYBODY THEY NEVER PUT
ANYBODY. IN EVERYTHING. AND
THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR
ENVIRONMENT THAT'S THE
HYPOCRISY. THEY GO OUT TO THEIR
LAW ABIDING CITIZEN WHO'S GOT A
PERMIT AND TRYING TO THE GAS
STATION OWNER. BUT THEY DON'T GO
OUT TO THE ILLEGAL PEOPLE WHO
ARE REALLY DESTROYING OUR
ENVIRONMENT IS AND IT'S NOT
RIGHT. I'M ALL IN WITH YOU ON
THAT ISSUE I KNOW THERE'S
SOMEONE ALWAYS BROUGHT UP THAT
WE'RE GONNA GO OUT OF THE DEAL
GROWS AND I'LL GUARANTEE YOU I
LIKE I CHALLENGE ANYBODY IN THE
STATE. SHOW ME SOMEWHERE WHERE
WE ACTUALLY WENT AFTER SOME
ENVIRONMENTALLY DID SOMETHING
BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FOUND ONE YET
BUT WE GOT TO AND YES WE SHOULD
DO IT. I DON'T KNOW. GET SO TO
ME SO I SAY HOW MANY DONE OUT OF
THE- MILLIONS OF FREE ILLEGAL.
WE HAVE THERE YES- I'LL DO AND
THAT'S PART OF THE- YOU KNOW THE
BANDAGE OF HAVING A STATEWIDE
GROUP WHERE WE TALK ABOUT AND
OUR ACTUAL UPCOMING TRAINING IS.
ALMOST FULLY ABOUT. ILLEGAL
ENVIRONMENTAL VIOLATIONS AT.
CANNABIS GROW SO I APPRECIATE
YOU BRING UP THAT ISSUE AND I'LL
GET ALL OF THOSE. EXAMPLES DO
YOU THINK IF YOU COULD SEND THEM
TO COMMITTEE TO IT. FOR SURE
YEAH. ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU THANK
YOU SO MUCH OKAY. SO LOOK I MEAN
I THINK THE ISSUES THAT HAVE
BEEN. THE OF THESE ISSUES.
EXCEPT FOR THE LAST POINT.
EVERYTHING ELSE IT'S BEEN
DISCUSSED TO SPEND. JUDICIARY
QUESTIONS. WE'RE GONNA WE'RE
GONNA REALLY ASK THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE TO WATCH THIS HEARING.
CAREFULLY SO THEY CAN TAKING
CONSIDER ALL THESE ISSUES
INCLUDING THE ISSUES RAISED BOTH
BY THE SENATE OF THE LAST YEAR
AND- AND THAT THE FOLKS FROM THE
DA. DA'S ASSOCIATION SO THAT
THOSE CAN BE TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE- TAKES. UP THE BILL
BUT WITH THAT I'M CERTAINLY
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BILL I'M- I
THINK IN THE END OF. DAY WHAT
YOU'RE TO GET OUT IS MORE
ENFORCED. OF OF HAZARDOUS WASTE
VIOLATIONS WHICH IS WHICH IS
ALLEGED ISSUE- YOU KNOW WE DON'T
WANT ANY WORK ON THE TECH TECH
STUFF THAT THE- DEVICE CARE WAS
WAS TALKING ABOUT BUT WE
CERTAINLY DO WANT TO WORK ON THE
SERIOUS STUFF. WE KNOW THERE'S A
LOT OF CHALLENGES OUT THERE AND
THIS IS GOING TO PROVIDE MORE
TOOLS. FOR CIVIL ENFORCEMENT
AUTHORITY AND I THINK THAT'S-
VERY MERITORIOUS AND I CERTAINLY
SUPPORT THAT ALSO. THAT LEFT TO.
HEAR A BILL WITH LEFT AT. ASK
YOU TO CLOSE. WE ALSO ASK FOR A
MOTION. BY SKINNER YES OKAY
THANK YOU CAN BE SURE OF
CERTAINLY PER. THE ROLE DISCUSS
ALTHOUGH HAVE TO SAY. THE LAST
THING I. WAS TO GET INTO A
CANNABIS ILLEGAL DISCUSS- THIS
IS THE FOR. ALL YEAR YOU KNOW
YEAH. THE AND WE WILL SEE. IS OF
COURSE. YEAH I WILL PLUG- SO.
TARO'S AND- TOWN HOME. TOMORROW
NIGHT- WE IS GOING TO BE.
PRESENTED IN THREE COUNTY WITH
THAT. ON SOME OF THAT TALK. BUT
HAVE IS A WITH BILL IS A- THIS.
IS ABOUT COOPER REFER. WITH LOVE
TO SEE A BILL ON COOPER. IF YOU
WANT TO BRING IT SENATOR DOLLY.
BUT THAT IS WHAT THIS BILL IS
ABOUT THIS BILL IS ABOUT. WHO
SHOULD RECEIVE THE REFERRALS
BASED ON THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE
RIGHT NOW IN WHO SHOULD BE ABLE
TO PROSECUTE SANTA CLARA COUNTY-
MISS MILLS COUNTY WHICH I WAS
PROUD TO SERVE AS A MEMBER THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON- WAS
NAMED. THE NUMBER ONE PUBLIC LAW
FIRM LAW OFFICE PUBLIC OFFICE IN
THE COUNTRY JUST A COUPLE YEARS
AGO OVER ABOVE ANYBODY ELSE IN
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO
NOT HAVE THEM IN A POSITION- IN
A LARGE. URBAN COUNTY WHICH ALSO
HAS. FIFTEEN THOUSAND OR
CULTURAL PLEASE IN OVER TWELVE
THOUSAND ACRES OF FLAT LAND
AGRICULTURE. IN HERE AND-
AGRICULTURAL EXTENDS ALL THE WAY
TO THE STANDS ONE ALAMEDA COUNTY
LINE COULD NOT HELP THEM IN A
POSITION. TO PROSECUTE THESE
CASES WOULD BE SHAMEFUL AS FAR
AS I'M CONCERNED- THE OPPOSITION
DIDN'T HOUSE FOR CONCURRENT
NOTICE. THEY ASKED FOR A SIXTY
DAY GRACE PERIOD THAT'S AND
WRITER AS WELL WE DIDN'T ACCEPT
THEIR SUGGESTION. AS AN
AMENDMENT- I CAN'T IMAGINE OF
THE SODA TALKS POSSIBLY CAN
IMAGINE ANY COUNTY. NOT WILLING
TO IN EFFECT CONCURRENTLY AS A
COURTESY- OR MANDATED BUT A
IMAGINE OF. TO CONQUER NOTICE TO
THE LOK DJS- WHEN THE FILES ACT
SO THE THEY ARE A NOTICE THE
KNOWN TO. DO EFFORTS ARE TO DO
SOME THIS READ. BUT SIXTY TWO-
WE THOUGHT WAS OUT OF THE-
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE UP
SITUATIONS WERE. OPERATING
ENGINEERS AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT
ARE MOVING IN IN IN ALL KINDS OF
THINGS ARE GOING ON. THIS IT
REQUIRE. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF- IT.
ON IT IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE
SO. THE HERO THAT'S MY RESPONSES
TO THOSE ISSUES- WE OF COURSE
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION IS TRYING TO COME UP
WITH. OF THE SWEET SPOT YOU KNOW
ON THE NOTIFICATION ISSUE I
THINK THAT'S REALLY THE ONLY
THING OF STANDING HERE. IF I
MIGHT SAY SO WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT IN IN AGAIN RESPECTFULLY
I WOULD ASK FOR A VOTE. THANK
YOU THANK YOU SIR AND I. THE
PRINCIPLES VERY MUCH AND I THINK
AT LEAST. THE MOST TIME. SUBSIDY
COMMENTS I FIVE WE'LL BE ABLE

GONZALEZ HER TADO. HER TADO EYES
MENJIVAR. MENJIVAR I'D WIN.
SKINNER FIVE SKINNER TIME GREAT
. ALL RIGHT- THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU SENATOR. AND I'M ALSO
CENTER IF YOU SHARE THE-
INFORMATION ABOUT THIS. ILLEGAL
GROWS TOWN HALL YOU'RE DOING
WITH THE COMMITTEE THAT WOULD BE
APPRECIATED. WE'LL GET IT OVER
CERTAINLY RANGE THAT EXPECT TO.
OKAY I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER
OFFICER FROM THE FROM THE- NINE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MAYBE WE CAN
ASK OUR GOOD FRIEND CENTER
SKINNER SHE'S. WILLING AND ABLE
TO PRESENT ITEM FOURTEEN SB.
SIXTY TWO. I CAN. STERNDALE A
MINUTE OUT OF. MISTER DOT IN
FILLING. SO I DON'T MEMBERS THIS
IS TO DO WITH CARB CEMENT AS.
FOR CENTER SKINNER YOU MAY
PROCEED WHEN READY. THERE'S
ARMOR THE GRAY SOCCER STAR. THE
MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH KIRIM- I
AM PLEASED TO PRESENT S. B. SIX
EIGHTY TWO. CEMENT PRODUCTION A
THINK MOST OF YOUR WHERE IS ONE
OF THE- INTO TO CARBON. BECAUSE
CAR EMISSION FROM THE VERY POWER
THAT HAS TO POWER THE INDUSTRY
PLUS IN MOST CASE FOR THE PRO
THERE IS PER- EMISSIONS TO. THE
USE LIMES IN OTHER ADMIN IN THAT
PER. GLOBALLY CEMENT CONCRETE
REPRESENT ABOUT 8% OF CARBON
EMISSIONS AND IN CALIFORNIA THIS
INDUSTRY IS THE SECOND HIGHEST
SOURCE OF INDUSTRIAL MISSIONS
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS THERE ARE
TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS EMERGING
TO HELP ACHIEVE. MUCH DEEPER
CEMENT AND CONCRETE
DECARBONISATION NOW I CARRIED A
BILL LAST YEAR FOR EXAMPLE THAT
ALLOWED FOR SOME PILOT PROJECTS
TO CAPTURE THE CARBON FROM
CEMENT THAT WOULD THEN BE STORED
GEOLOGICALLY- THAT IS ONE METHOD
ONE TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION TO
REDUCE CARBON AND THERE ARE
OTHER TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS
THAT HAVE ARE BEING TESTED NOW
BUT HAVEN'T FULLY BEEN BROUGHT
UP TO SCALE IN TERMS OF
PRODUCTION- BUT ADOPTING. CLEAR
MARKET SIGNALS THAT HELP
MOTIVATE THE INVESTMENT
NECESSARY TO BRING THOSE
TECHNOLOGIES TO MARKET CAN HELP
US ACHIEVE THE BRING THEM TO
SCALE AND THUS DECARBONIZING THE
INDUSTRY. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
FOR EXAMPLES ESTABLISHED WHAT'S
CALLED THE FIRST MOVERS
COALITION WHICH IS A PUBLIC
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO
COMMERCIALIZE CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES
THROUGH ADVANCE PROCUREMENT
AGREEMENTS. WHAT SB SIXTY TWO
DOES IS BUILD ON CALIFORNIA'S
EFFORTS TO DECARBONISE CEMENT
CONCRETE BY ALLOWING ADVANCED
PROCUREMENT AGREEMENTS WITH
STATE AGENCIES TO HELP DRIVE
THESE MARKETS FOR CLEANER
TECHNOLOGIES IN THE CEMENT AND
CONCRETES SECTOR. AND JUST AS AN
EXAMPLE CALTRANS PRINT PURCHASES
40% OF ALL CONCRETE IN THE STATE
SO CALTRANS FOR EXAMPLE HAVING
AN ADVANCED PROCUREMENT
AGREEMENT ON LOW CARBON CEMENT
SOLUTIONS IS ONE WAY TO ACHIEVE
THIS TO ALLOW ME NOW TO HAVE MY
WITNESSES WHERE I'VE SIMON
BRANDLER. WHO IS THE VP OF
PUBLIC POLICY FOR BRIMSTONE AND
JOE HIGGINS WHO IS HEAD OF
POLICY FOR SUBLIME SYSTEMS. OKAY
AT U. S. CENTERS CAN- CHERRY. BY
CHAIR DOLLY MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TODAY. ON BEHALF OF DC TO
WHICH IS THE DECARBONIZE CEMENT
AND CONCRETE WORKING GROUP- IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF SB SIX EIGHTY
TWO- I CENTER SKINNER SAID MY
NAME IS SIMON BRANDLER I SERVED
AS A VICE PRESIDENT POLICY. OF
BRIMSTONE- BRIMSTONE IS IN
OAKLAND CALIFORNIA COMPANY THAT
DEVELOPED A BREAKTHROUGH
PROCESS- THAT'S CARBON MEDIC
NEGATIVE TO MAKE ORDINARY
PORTLAND CEMENT. WE'RE ONE OF
SEVEN FOUNDING MEMBERS OF THE C.
TWO WHICH IS A COALITION OF
INNOVATIVE US BASED VENTURE
BACKED COMPANIES WITH SOLUTIONS
FOR ACHIEVING DEEP DE
CARBONIZATION OF THE CEMENT AND
CONCRETE SECTOR. PASSAGES SIX
EIGHTY TWO WOULD MARK A
SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN
CLEANING UP THE SECTOR THAT
TODAY ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT SEVEN
AND A HALF 480% OF GLOBAL CARBON
EMISSIONS BY HELPING CALIFORNIA
TO DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE
EMBODIED CARBON THE STATE
PROJECTS. THE LEGISLATION
REPRESENTS A CRITICAL STEP IN
CALIFORNIA'S QUEST FOR CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE-
ACHIEVING CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE
PRIORITIES WILL REQUIRE CEMENT
AND CONCRETE WITH DRAMATICALLY
SMALLER CARBON FOOTPRINTS THAT
EVEN THOUGH THE LOWEST CARBON
SOLUTIONS. ON THE MARKET TODAY.
SB SIX EIGHTY TWO WOULD LEVERAGE
THE STATE'S POWER IS THE LARGEST
BUYER OF CEMENT AND CONCRETE TO
BRIDGE THE GAP IN THE MARKET TO
SCALE UP AND COMMERCIALIZE TRULY
TRANSFORMATIVE LOW CARBON
TECHNOLOGIES NEEDED FOR FUTURE
STATE PROJECTS. UNDER SB SIX
EIGHTY TWO CALTRANS AND OTHER
STATE AGENCIES WOULD BE
EMPOWERED TO DIRECTLY CONTRACT
FOR LOW CARBON CEMENT AND
CONCRETE UP TO TEN YEARS IN
ADVANCE NEARING THE POWER
PURCHASE AGREEMENTS LONG USED TO
PURCHASE. IN FINANCE CLEAN
ENERGY THESE ADVANCED MARKET
COMMITMENTS WOULD PROVIDE TO
ESSENTIAL BENEFIT RESIDENTS COME
FIRST WHETHER THEY WOULD ENABLE
STATE AGENCY. ALL STATE AGENCIES
TO SECURE A PIPELINE OF THE
ULTRA LOW CARBON MATERIALS
INCREASINGLY NEEDED TO ACHIEVE
CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE AMBITIONS.
SECOND EMERGING. SUPPLIERS MUST
SHOW PROOF OF THE AND TO A THE
IT INDUSTRIAL. FIVE NECESSARY TO
UP THEIR OPERATE. PROCUREMENT
AGREEMENTS FROM CALIFORNIA STATE
AGENCIES THE MOST DOMINANT
BUYERS OF CEMENT AND CONCRETE
ANYWHERE WOULD UNLOCK FINANCING
TO COMMERCIALIZE LOW CARBON
SOLUTIONS. THIS WOULD CREATE
JOBS SPUR ECONOMIC ACTIVITY AND
CRITICALLY ESTABLISH A LOW
CARBON INDUSTRIAL BASE IN
CALIFORNIA. WE GREATLY
APPRECIATE SENATOR SKINNER FOR
INTRODUCING THIS LEGISLATION AND
THE COMMITTEE FOR ITS
CONSIDERATION AND FEEDBACK- AND
WE LOOK FORWARD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO COLLABORATE WITH YOU I'M SURE
THIS THAT LEGISLATION ADVANCE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. YES SIR.
THANK YOU BYE SHARE. THAT YOU'RE
ALLEN VICE CHAIR DOLLY AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY PRESENT TODAY. HI
I'M JOE HE CAN HAVE A POLICY
ITSELF LIME SYSTEMS WORKING WITH
INFRASTRUCTURE OWNERS
CONTRACTORS ENGINEERS ARCHITECTS
AND READY MIX CONCRETE PLANTS.
THAT TO COMMERCIALIZE ELECTRIC
CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING OF ULTRA
LOW CARBON CEMENT WE'RE ALSO A
FOUNDING MEMBERS OF DC TO HEAR
AND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF S. B.
SIX EIGHTY TWO- I'M PROUD OF
YOUR LEADERSHIP THAT THE CITY
CALIFORNIA'S LEADERSHIP. AT THE
INTERSECTION OF THE CLIMATE
CRISIS AND OUR ONGOING ECONOMIC
TRANSFORMATION. DESPITE MY
RECENT RELOCATION TO NORTH
CAROLINA I OFTEN JOKE THAT MY
DAUGHTERS WERE BORN ALAMEDA AND
CONTRA COSTA COUNTIES AND ARE
THEREFORE ENTITLED TO THEIR
CALIFORNIANS CITIZENSHIP- ARE
COALITIONS INNOVATIVE COMPANIES
BELIEVE CEMENT AND CONCRETE
PROVIDE CALIFORNIA AND UNTAPPED.
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITY TO
ADVANCE THIS CLIMATE OBJECTIVES
WILL PAVING THE WAY DAD JOKE
INTENDED. TOWARD ECONOMIC AND
CLIMATE INNOVATION. CEMENT AND
CONCRETE PROVIDE THE LITERAL
BUILDING BLOCKS FOR OUR ROADS
AND HOSPITALS BUT THE MID
PRODUCTION IS ALSO A MAJOR
SOURCE OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS. NEW MANUFACTURING
TECHNOLOGY AND NOVEL MATERIALS
ARE EMERGING FROM DC TO AND
OTHER INNOVATORS. TO SUPPORT
THIS SECTOR'S TRANSITION TO A
NET ZERO ACADEMY OF THE FUTURE.
STATE AGENCIES REPRESENT THE
LARGEST CONSUMER OF CONCRETE IN
CALIFORNIA AND ONE OF THE
LARGEST USERS ON THE GLOBE.
THEIR CHOICES ON CEMENT AND
CONCRETE CAN DEFINE THE MARKET
MOVING FORWARD. SB SIX EIGHTY
TWOS PERMISSIVE AUTHORITY ALIGNS
THE STATE'S PROCUREMENT
CAPABILITIES IN ANTICIPATION OF
THE SECTOR'S TRANSITION AND
SENDS A RELIABLE SIGNAL TO THE
MARKET THAT THE LARGEST
PURCHASER IS INTERESTED. BY
DUCTING STRUCTURED OFFTAKE
AGREEMENTS FOR RELATIVELY SMALL
FRACTION OF THE STATE'S TOTAL
CEMENT AND CONCRETE USE
CALIFORNIA CAN CREATE EVEN MORE
HIGH QUALITY MANUFACTURING JOBS
IN THE CLEAN ENERGY ECONOMY. WE
THINK CENTERS KILLER SKINNER FOR
HER VISION OF ECONOMIC
PROSPERITY HIGH QUALITY JOBS OF
THE FUTURE AND CLEAN
MANUFACTURING AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THIS BILL
. THANK YOU THANK YOU- WE'LL
HAVE TO. WHAT WHAT WILL HAVE A-
EVALUATION THE DAD JOKES LATER
BUT- OKAY LET'S HEAR FROM OTHER
FOLKS WENT OUT ON. CHRISTMAS I
ON BEHALF OF IN OUR DC LOW
CARBON CONCRETE AS A PRIORITY
FOR IN OUR DC WE THINK THE
AUTHOR FOR- PUSHING THIS BILL
AND ASK YOUR AYE VOTE GREAT
THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS BOB USED TO REPRESENTING
THE CALIFORNIA NEVADA CEMENT
ASSOCIATION WITH THE PEOPLE WHO
ACTUALLY MAKE CONCRETE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA- WE- WE JOIN THE
SENATOR IN OUR EFFORTS. TO LOWER
OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT HOWEVER WE
DON'T HAVE A POSITION ON THIS
BILL THAT I THINK OF PASSED IS
BEEN. EVIDENCED BY THE FACT IT
WAS SUPPORTED UNIDO FIVE LAST

. I'M YES I PRE- ARE FOR FROM
THE CALIFORNIA NEVADA. ASSOC BE
HERE WE DO HAVE AT LEAST FIVE A
CEMENT PRODUCTION FACILITIES
EXISTING CALIFORNIA AND FROM MY
POINT OF VIEW IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT TO RETAIN THOSE- ONE
OF THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT A
PROBLEM BUT- AS WE INCREASE OUR
DECARBONISATION GOALS WE WANT TO
DO IT IN A WAY. THAT RETAINS OUR
INDUSTRIES BECAUSE TO HAVE TO
LOSE THOSE INDUSTRIES AND TO
THEN NUMBER ONE THERE'S NO
GUARANTEE THAT A CONCRETE OR
CEMENT PRODUCED ANYWHERE ELSE IS
GOING TO MEET OUR GOALS. AND
NUMBER TWO WITH THE EMISSIONS
ARE FIVE EFFECT US REGARDLESS
RIGHT SO. SO IF WE CAN SUPPORT
OUR- INDUSTRIES THAT ARE HERE
RIGHT WHICH IS I THINK WAS THE
PURPOSE OF MR RECORDS BILL AND
ALSO MY BILL LAST YEAR- WIT
THAT'S ESSENTIAL AND SO. IN
WORKING WITH THEM I AM GOING TO
BE. WORKING CLOSELY TO CRAFT
THIS BILL IN SUCH A WAY THAT. IT
SENDS THE RIGHT SIGNALS TO
INNOVATION IN THE TECHNOLOGIES
OR THE INDUSTRY BUT DOES NOT
HARM. THE THE PRODUCTIONS THAT
WE HAVE NOW SO. AND I THINK
WE'LL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THAT
I'M HOPEFUL IT RIGHT NOW IT'S-
THERE'S- THE BILL DOESN'T
NECESSARILY HARM EXISTING
INDUSTRIES BUT WE JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE
PROCESS. AND REALLY APPRECIATE

COMMUNITY CARE MONITORING
PROGRAM. I ALSO WANT TO THANK
THE EQ COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
THOROUGH ANALYSIS IS WEALTH
GREAT JOB. THREE REFINERIES
FENCE LINE PROGRAM WHICH WAS
CODIFIED IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
REQUIRES REFINERIES TO INSTALL
AND MAINTAIN AIR MONITORS ALONG
THEIR FACILITY FENCE LINE TO
PUBLISH THIS THERE MONITORING-
DATA ONLINE AND SEND REAL TIME
ALERTS TO THE COMMUNITY. AS WELL
AS TO TAKE A CORRECTIVE ACTION
WHEN DANGEROUS LEVELS OF
POLLUTANTS ARE DETECTED. IN THE
SIX YEARS SINCE THE REFINERY
FENCE LINE PROGRAM WAS LAUNCHED
THERE HAVE BEEN SERIOUS
DEFICIENCIES IN IMPLEMENTATION
THAT ARE DEPRIVING FENCING
COMMUNITIES OF THE INFORMATION
PROTECTIONS NEEDED. IN
PARTICULAR REAL TIME ALERTS ARE
NOT BEING SENT FENCE LINE DATA
IS NOT AVAILABLE ONLINE.
DANGEROUS POLLUTANTS ARE NOT
BEING MONITORED AND SOME
REFINERIES HAVE EVEN EXEMPTED
FROM- THE PROGRAM ALTOGETHER. SB
SIX SEVENTY FOUR WILL ADDRESS
THIS THESE SHORTCOMINGS AND
CREATE A STATEWIDE STANDARD FOR
THE REFINERY FENCE LINE
MONITORING PROGRAM TO ENSURE
THAT PULL ALL. NECESSARY
POLLUTANTS ARE MEASURED AND THAT
BEST PRACTICES AND TECHNOLOGIES
ARE DEPLOYED. TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT TODAY I HAVE OSCAR
ESPINO BY THEIR OWN A SENIOR
ATTORNEY FOR EARTHJUSTICE AND
JAN VICTOR AND INSTANT WITH
EASTER COMMUNITIES FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AS WELL.
SO THANK YOU I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR A VOTE THANK YOU LET'S LET'S
HEAR FOR ME WITNESSES HI GOOD
MORNING GOOD MORNING CHAIRED AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS OSCAR ESPINO ON THEIR OWN.
AND I'M A SENIOR ATTORNEY AT
EARTHJUSTICE WHICH IS WHICH IS A
CO SPONSOR OF SB SIX SEVENTY
FOUR- YOU KNOW REFINERIES ARE
INHERENTLY DANGEROUS OPERATIONS
THAT ARE PRONE TO EXPLOSIONS.
FIRES AND FLARING INCIDENTS THAT
CAN THREATEN THE HEALTH. AND
LIVES OF SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
REFINE IT REFINE YOUR WORKERS AS
WELL AS FIRST RESPONDERS.
BETWEEN JANUARY TWENTY TWENTY
ONE TO JUNE. TWENTY TWENTY TWO
ALONE CALIFORNIA REFINERIES
EXPIRY IN OVER HUN INCIDENT. OF
OIL AND SPILL FIRES AND FOR
ABOUT FOR. AND VAPOR AND DIOXIDE
REALLY. AMONG MANY OTHER
DANGEROUS INCIDENTS REFINERIES
ARE ALSO SOME OF THE LARGEST
STATIONARY SOURCES OF AIR
POLLUTION IN THE STATE'S MOST
OVER POLLUTED COMMUNITIES. AND
THAT'S STUDIES HAVE CONFIRMED
REFINERY EMISSIONS ARE
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT'S
REPORTED TO REGULATORS AND THE
PUBLIC. IT WAS FOR THESE REASONS
THAT IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN THE
LEGISLATURE ADOPTED AB SIXTEEN
FORTY SEVEN. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MURATSUCHI TO IMPLEMENT A
UNIFORM STATEWIDE REFINERY FUND
SIGNED AND COMMUNITY AIR
MONITORING PROGRAM BY JANUARY
JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY.
UNFORTUNATELY WHAT HAS EMERGED
IS A PATCHWORK OF REQUIREMENTS
THAT ARE UNDERMINING THE
LEGISLATURE IS INTENDED GOALS IN
ENACTING A. B. SIXTEEN FORTY
SEVEN. IN PARTICULAR TO IDENTIFY
SOURCES OF REFINERY POLLUTION.
INFORM EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND
NOTIFY RESIDENTS. SB SIX SEVENTY
FOUR IS A CRITICAL STEP FORWARD
TO CREATE A UNIFORM PROGRAM AND
IMPLEMENT BEST PRACTICES THAT
ENSURE DATA QUALITY. PROVIDE THE
PUBLIC WITH THAT DATA ACCESS I
NOTIFICATION OF EXCESS EMISSIONS
AND ADDRESS- TAXES EMISSIONS AT
REFINERIES SO WE ARE WE ORCHARD
YOUR SUPPORT- AND WE ALSO WANT
TO THANK THE SENATOR FOR ALL
THREE IN THIS BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. YES. FOUR ZERO NOT AS
A PRIMER- DIDN'T. THIS UP WITH
MORNING MY IS JOHN VICTOR AND
DAWSON AM A IN AT C. R. T. FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. WHEN WE
ORGANIZE WITH BY IN THE LONG
BEACH SOUTH BAY SOUTHEAST L. A.
AND EASILY COMMUNITY COULD DRESS
INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION AFFECTING
PREDOMINANTLY BLACK AND BROWN
NEIGHBORHOODS- AND WE ARE GOING
TO CLOSE SPONSORED THAT THIS
BILL. NOT ONLY DO A CURRENT
ORGANIZE WITH DIRECTLY WITH
RESIDENTS A G. SENSOR OPERATIONS
BUT I ALSO GREW UP NEXT TO THE
NOW MARATHON FACILITY WHICH IS
ONE OF THE LARGEST. FACILITIES
IN THE WEST COAST. GROWING UP I
THOUGHT THAT THESE FACILITIES
WERE NORMAL AND HAVING
RESPIRATORY ISSUES LIKE ASTHMA
WERE NORMAL. MY BROTHER WAS BORN
A YEAR AFTER I IMMIGRATED FROM
THE PHILIPPINES TO THE U. S. AND
HE WAS BORN ONLY TO COME OUT OF
THE WOMB LEADING TO THE
NEBULIZER. EVERY NIGHT TO BE
ABLE TO BREED. MY FAMILY STORY
IS NOT UNIQUE IT HAPPENS IN
NEIGHBORHOODS NEXT TO REFINERY
FACILITIES AND IT'S STILL
HAPPENING TODAY TWENTY SIX YEARS
LATER AFTER I'VE COME TO THIS.
COUNTRY TO THE STATE AND EVERY
DAY MANY RESIDENTS A G. SENSOR
FINALLY PRODUCTION HAVE TO
DECIDE WHAT THEIR G. WILL LOOK
LIKE FOR ME I THINK DOES IT EVER
FEEL HAPPIER. CAN I FEEL MY
THROAT CLOSE UP SO INSTEAD OF
WALKING IN THE PARK I'LL GO TO
AN INDOOR GYM. THESE ARE THE
QUESTIONS THAT MANY HAVE TO GO
THROUGH DAILY EVEN JUST DOING
BASIC TASKS. SO WE URGE YOU TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL BECAUSE IT'S
NOT REVOLUTIONARY. THROUGH THIS
BILL WE ARE SIMPLY FILLING GAPS
IN THE FENCE LINE MONITORING
THAT NEEDS TO OCCUR AT ALL
REFINERY FACILITIES IN THE
STATE. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW TO
FILL GAPS OF THE MONITORING. OF
THE GAPS IN MONITORING WHAT
SITES THAT ALREADY HAVE THEIR
MONITORING. BUT THEY'RE NOT
CAPTURING ALL THAT WE NEED TO
KNOW. THIS WILL ALLOW LOCAL
RESIDENTS LIKE THOSE IN LONG
BEACH CRISIS IN SOUTH EAST LA
CENTRAL VALLEY. I'VE BEEN DOWN
TO SEE TO BE EQUIPPED TO MAKE
BETTER DECISIONS IN THEIR LIVES.
FINALLY YOU THIS BILL WILL ALLOW
DECISION MAKERS TO HAVE THE
DATA. TO MAKE MORE INFORMED
POLICYMAKING ON HOW TO OVERSEE.
THESE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS
FACILITIES. OUR STORIES ARE
OFTEN TOLD IN QUESTION WELL WHAT
DOES THE DATA LOOK LIKE. HOW
MANY DAYS AT THIS FACILITY
POTENTIALLY EMIT. WHAT WERE YOU
EXPOSED TO BECAUSE APPARENTLY
I'M A SCIENTIST AND ALL IT WAS
EXPOSED TO. THIS BILL IS ABOUT
TRANSPARENCY SO REFINERIES
EMISSIONS OVER TIME WILL BE
COLLECTED. AND PAIRED WITH OUR
COMMUNITY NARRATIVES AND WHAT
WE'RE EXPERIENCING ON THE GROUND
WE CAN TRULY. TRULY COME
TOGETHER TO CREATE. SOLUTIONS
BOTH AS READ IN THE- MAKERS AND
AGAIN I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
THIS. AND SO A LONG SAID. YOU
CAN YOU. THANK YOU THANK YOU.
OTHER FOLKS WHO WANT TO WIN ITS
OF THE BILL. MELISSA ROMERO.
MELISSA ROMERO CAL. AMBER THE-
IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU DANIEL
BROUGHT IN BEHALF OF THE BECAUSE
SCIENTISTS IN SUPPORT. AND
WILLIAM B. HAVE A SIERRA CLUB
CALIFORNIA AND SUPPORT THANK YOU
. ANY GOVERNMENT ON BEHALF OF
BREAST CANCER PREVENTION
PARTNERS INCLUDE SEEDS IN STRONG
SUPPORT. THANK YOU OKAY- FOLKS
YOU WANT TO RAISE CONCERNS ARE
OPPOSITION THE BILL HE'S ACT.
MORNING MR CHECK MORNING
SENATORS AS THAT CLEAR ON BEHALF
OF THE WESTERN STATES PETROLEUM
ASSOCIATION. WE'VE TAKEN A
OPPOSE OF LESS AMENDED POSITION
BUT ONE OF THAT THE SENATOR AND
HER STAFF. VERY GOOD
CONVERSATION WITH THEIR STAFF ON
THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE OUTLINED.
IN OUR LETTER- AND THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WE WERE ASKING
FOR. OUR MEMBERS DO HAVE ROBUST-
FENCE LINE MONITORING SYSTEM
THAT THEIR FACILITIES. I JUST
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF THE
CONCERNS IN THE BILL BECAUSE IT
IS A VERY TECHNICAL BILL- THIS
BILL SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDS THE
VERY PRESCRIPTIVE REQUIREMENTS
FOR- REFINERY FENCE LINE
SYSTEMS. CURRENTLY THE AIR
DISTRICTS AND AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL DISTRICTS. ARE HAVE
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE TAILORED
TO EACH DISTRICT PARTICULARLY-
IN PARAGRAPH D. OF THE BILL IT
REQUIRES A PRESCRIPTIVE LIST OF
POLLUTANTS THAT MUST BE
MONITORED. WE BELIEVE THE
DETERMINATION FOR WHICH
POLLUTANTS MONITORED SHOULD
CONTINUE TO RESIDE WITH THE
DISTRICTS OF SITE SPECIFIC
REFINERY CONFIGURATIONS CAN BE
TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT. I BELIEVE
ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS AND THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THAT
ADDRESSES THAT ISSUE BUT WANT.
TO SEE THE FINAL LANGUAGE ON
THAT- GRAPH SEE- RECORD IN THE
ENTIRE. OF THEIR FINAL OF ME MY
- WE THINK IT'S A PER. THAT
PRINTER CAN SHOULD BE SITES.
DETERMINATION MADE BY THE
DISTRICT WITH INPUT FROM THE
COMMUNITY AS IS CURRENTLY TODAY.
MONITORING SECTIONS OF A
REFINERY PARAMETER THAT DOES NOT
HAVE RECEPTORS DOWNWIND OF THE
SOURCES WILL NOT PROVIDE
MEANINGFUL OR ACTIONABLE DATA TO
THE PUBLIC- AND THEN- AND
FINALLY ON THE BILL AND PRINT IN
PARAGRAPH. H. SUBDIVISION FOR-
THE BILL STATES THAT FENCE LINE
MONITORING SYSTEM CHAU
PRESUMPTIVELY YIELD CREDIBLE
EVIDENCE TO DETERMINE A
VIOLATION. WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT
THIS ALONE SHOULD BE THE BASIS
TO INVOKE A VIOLATION BECAUSE
FENCE LINE MONITORING SYSTEMS
CANNOT DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
REFINERY MISSION OR NON REFINERY
EMISSIONS. AND THEN ONE CONCERN
ALL JUST REYES WITH ONE OF THE
AMENDMENTS OUTLINED IN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS- THE
AMENDMENT APPEARS TO EXPAND THE
DEFINITION OF AUXILIARY
FACILITIES TO INCLUDE FACILITIES
THAT. RECEIVE 50% OF PRODUCTION
OR INPUT FROM THE REFINERY WE
READ THAT AS POTENTIALLY
CAPTURING GAS STATION TERMINALS
TERMINALS AT AIRPORTS AG
OPERATIONS THAT OPERATE GAS
STATIONS OR TANKS. BECAUSE THOSE
FACILITIES RECEIVE INPUTS FROM
THE REFINERY WE DON'T BELIEVE
THAT'S THE INTENT- BUT WANT TO
WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE AND THE
AUTHOR TO CLARIFY. FOR THESE
REASONS WE REMAIN OPPOSED UNLESS
AMENDED AND LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR TO
HOPEFULLY RESOLVE OUR CONCERNS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU AND I WILL
LISTEN TAKE A LOOK AT THAT I
KNOW AND WHAT ONE OF THE
AMENDMENTS IS SEEKING ONE OF
YOUR EARLIER POINTS- AND I
BELIEVE THE BROTHERS AGREE
EXCEPT THE MEMBER YES- BUT IT
TALKS ABOUT- A ALLOWING HIM TO
MANY YOUR JUSTER- TO EXCLUDE
POLLUTANTS FOR. EVIDENCE
SUPPORTS THE MONITORING THAT
POLLUTION IN REAL TIME WOULD BE
EITHER TECHNOLOGICALLY FEASIBLE
OR AN APPLE COUPLE FOR THE
REFINERY SO. I'M OKAY YES.
GENESIS TANK ON BEHALF OF RURAL
ENERGY WE SUBMITTED A LETTER OF
CONCERN REGARDING THE OVERLY
BROAD DEFINITIONS AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH THE OTHERS OFFICE. BUT I
WHAT DO WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE
THE BILL'S ALSO GOING TO BE TO

WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK

WILL PULL WINS WITH A NEW GETS
HERE WILL ALL DEFERRED HIM LET
HIM FOR FALSE. IT WAS.
MADAM INTERIM CHAIR- SO.
CALIFORNIA IS BEGINNING TO SEE
PIECEMEAL DEVELOPMENT OF A
MARKET AND INFRASTRUCTURE
DESIGNED TO CAPTURE THE VALUE
MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE
ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE
PARTICULARLY TRACTION BATTERIES
IN THOSE ELECTRIC VEHICLES ONCE
THAT BATTERY IS REMOVED FROM THE
VEHICLE SO IN SOME INSTANCES THE
BATTERIES RECYCLED- IN OTHERS
THE BATTERIES REPURPOSE
REPLICATION SUCH AS ENERGY
STORAGE. HOWEVER CALIFORNIA
LACKS A POLICY FRAMEWORK TO
ENSURE THE BATTERIES ARE REUSED
OR REPURPOSED IMPOSSIBLE AND
RECYCLED WHEN NO LONGER USEFUL.
SO BACKING TWENTY EIGHTEEN OUR
OUR GREAT VICE CHAIR- CENTER
DOLLY PASSED I AUTHORED AND WE
PASSED A. B. I TWENTY EIGHT
THIRTY TWO WHEN HE WAS ASSEMBLY
NOT CALLED FOR AN ADVISORY GROUP
OF EXPERTS TO DEVELOP
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO ENSURE QUOTE THAT
IS CLOSE TO HER PERCENT AS
POSSIBLE. OF LITHIUM ION
BATTERIES IN THE STATE WOULD BE
REUSED AND RECYCLED AT END OF
LIFE. SO I'M- SB SIX FIFTEEN SIX
TO TAKE THE POLICY OPTIONS
FORMULATED BY THE GROUP THAT WAS
. THAT WAS BROUGHT TOGETHER BY
CENTER DOLLARS BILL. AND CREATE
A FIRST IN THE NATION PROGRAM
THAT WILL ENSURE THAT ALL
ELECTRIC VEHICLE TRACTION
BATTERIES ARE PROPERLY HANDLED
AND EVENTUALLY RECYCLED AT THE
END OF THEIR USEFUL LIFE. THIS
MEASURE IS STILL WORK IN
PROGRESS WHERE WE'VE CONVENE A
WORKING GROUP- MEET BOTH PARTY'S
INTEREST IN THE ISSUE INCLUDES
AUTOMATIC FRACTURES DEALERS THE
DISMANTLING EARNERS. THE BATTERY
RECYCLERS ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS
INVITE INNOVATIVE COMPANIES THAT
ARE. BUYING USE BATTERIES FOR
STORAGE INSTALLATION IT'S IT
REALLY IS A FASCINATING AND
STRONG GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM ALL
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. ARE WE
STILL HAVE SOME SIGNIFICANT
DETAILS TO WORK OUT. BUT ALL
PARTIES ALREADY AGREED TO A TO A
FEW TRULY MEANINGFUL POLICY
OBJECTIVES FIRST. RECYCLING
BATTERIES REDUCES DEMAND FOR RAW
MATERIALS THEREBY AVOIDING THE
NEGATIVE SOCIAL ECONOMIC AND
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF MINING.
OPPORTUNITY CATALYZING A
DOMESTIC SUPPLY AS DEMAND FOR
THE CRITICAL MATERIALS NEEDED TO
BUILD BATTERIES INCREASES AND I
KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT. IS
A SHARED CONCERN ABOUT DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS. THEREFORE THIS
BILL. WOULD REQUIRE ALL EVEY
TRACTION BATTERIES IN THE STATE
TO BE SENT TO A QUALIFIED
RECYCLER AT THE END OF LIFE. SO
WE CAN CAPTURE THOSE MATERIALS
FROM THOSE BATTERIES REVIEWS
THEM AND REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCE
ON. FOREIGN HI. PORTS OF SOME OF
THESE MATERIALS THAT THAT WE
KNOW OUR OUR OFTENTIMES PROCURED
IN A REALLY. PROBLEMATIC MANNER.
SECONDS THE MANUFACTURES OF
THESE BATTERIES IN THOSE PUTTING
THE BATTERIES ON THE MARKET THE
AUTO MAKERS HAVE ARE A REALLY
IMPORTANT ROLE TO PLAY IN
ENSURING- THE PROPER END OF LIFE
MANAGEMENT BUT ALL ENTITIES
HANDLING THESE BATTERIES WILL
NEED TO BE INVOLVED. SO THIS
BILL. WELL IT TAKES A PAGE OUT
OF OUR BI PARTISAN EFFORT LAST
YEAR WITH SB FIFTY FOUR WITH
PLASTICS AND EXTENDED PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BILL
WOULD CREATE. A PRODUCER'S
POSSIBLY PROGRAM DESIGNED TO
ENSURE THOSE WHO HANDLE
BATTERIES. HAVE A CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR ROLES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES AND REALLY
IMPORTANTLY MAKE SURE THE
PRODUCERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY ORPHANS WERE STRANDED
BATTERIES IN THAT WE HAVE THE
PUBLIC'S NOT JUST LEFT HOLDING
THE BAG. SIZE AS HE SAID THE
DETAILS ARE STILL UNDER
DISCUSSION WE REALLY ARE IT'S A
GREAT DISCUSSION SO FAR ISRAEL
INCLUDING EVERYBODY AND WE'RE
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THIS
COMMITTEE AS TALKS PROGRESS-
AND- SO. HOPING HOPING TO HAVE
YOUR SUPPORT. DO YOU HAVE ANY
WITH IN SOME. I DON'T DO WEEK

. TECH CONSORTIUM AND OUR
MEMBERS WHICH NOW OVER HUNDRED
VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS BATTERY
MANUFACTURERS. AND ECOSYSTEM OF
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES. ARE ALL
WORKING TO ACCELERATE THE
TRANSITION ZERO MISSION- CAL
START IS VERY HAPPY CAN BE OUR
SUPPORT FOR MR ALLEN'S IDEA AND
PROPOSALS AND WORKING TOGETHER.
WITH THIS WIDE ARRAY OF
STAKEHOLDERS CREATING A LIFE
CYCLE FOR EVEY BATTERIES THAT
INCLUDES RE PURPOSING REUSING.
AND EVENTUALLY RECYCLING THE
BATTERY MATERIAL IS A WIN WIN
FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND FOR THE
CLEAN TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGY
INDUSTRY. THE TEAM I ON ANOTHER
CRITICAL MINERALS IN THE
BATTERIES ARE PERFECT FOR
RECYCLING WHEN THEY HAVE REACHED
THEIR USEFUL LIFE. AS A POWER
SOURCE PRIOR TO THAT THOUGH THEY
CAN BE REUSED AND THEY CAN BE
REPURPOSED FOR THINGS LIKE SOLID
STATE BATTERY STORAGE AND HELP
OUR UTILITIES. ACHIEVE
CALIFORNIA'S AMBITIOUS CLIMATE
GOALS FOR THOSE REASONS AND MANY
MORE WE HOPE THAT THIS
COMMITTEE. CLOSE TO PASS THIS
BILL AS WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON
IT AND ALLOW US THOSE
CONVERSATIONS TO BE HAD THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MISTER
THOMAS. ANY OTHER WITNESSES

REMANUFACTURE TO RECYCLE TO THE
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. WE
ARE THE EXPERTS IN EXTENDED
PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY HELPED
DRAFT PASS AND IMPLEMENT EPR
BILLS IN CALIFORNIA. ET
BATTERIES ARE LARGE AND A
QUICKLY GROWING IN THE WASTE
STREAM WITH CALIFORNIA'S
ADOPTING THE USE OF EV'S. IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO HUNDRED AND
FORTY FOUR THOUSAND EV'S WERE
SOLD IN CALIFORNIA- WE CAN SEE
WHAT'S COMING CALIFORNIA HAS A
HISTORY OF ALLOWING PRODUCTS TO
BE SOLD IN THE MARKET WITHOUT
HAVING AND A LIFE. PLAN CAUSING
A REAL PROBLEM IN THE BACK END
OF THE SYSTEM. EXAMPLES INCLUDE
SOLAR PANELS LOOSE BATTERIES
MARINE FLARES TO JUST NAME A FEW
WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE COSTS ARE
BORNE UNFAIRLY TO THE GARBAGE
REPAIRS AND OR SOCIALIZE AMONGST
ALL REPAIRS CAUSING FRUSTRATIONS
AMONGST CONSUMERS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE.

THAT HARD WORKING CALIFORNIANS.
CAN AND WILL MORE FULLY
PARTICIPATE IN OUR TRANSITION TO
A ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE FLEET IN
CALIFORNIA AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE
CALIFORNIA'S NOT FULLY COMMITTED
TO THE AMBITIOUS AND AGGRESSIVE
GOAL OF MOVING BEYOND GASOLINE
POWERED PASSENGER VEHICLES BY
THE YEAR TWENTY THIRTY FIVE HERE
WITHIN THE LEGISLATURE WE'VE
BEEN HAVING A CONVERSATION. OVER
THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AS TO
HOW BEST TO DESIGN PROGRAMS IN
PRIORITIZE RESOURCES TO MOST
EFFECTIVELY FACILITATE THAT
TRANSITION THAT'S PART OF THE
CONVERSATION HAS BEEN AN ONGOING
DEBATE AS TO THE PLACE OF
HYDROGEN AND HYDROGEN FUEL CELL
ELECTRIC VEHICLES RELATIVE TO
OTHER INVESTMENTS WE MIGHT MAKE
IN SUPPORT OF THE ADOPTION OF
BATTERY ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND
EXPAND ELECTRIC. CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN THE LIGHT
DUTY SEGMENT. THERE IS ACTUALLY
ONE CATEGORY THAT WILL BE
DEMONSTRABLY HARDER TO
DECARBONISING WHOSE TRANSITION
TO ZERO EMISSIONS ON SOME BASIS
WILL BE NECESSARY AT SCALE FOR
GOING TO CHEAPER TWENTY THIRTY
FIVE GOALS. AND THAT'S LIGHT
DUTY WORK VEHICLES FOR PICKUP
TRUCKS IT'S FOR THIS DRIVER
COHORT WHICH CURRENTLY COMPRISES
MORE THAN TWO POINT SEVEN
MILLION OF CALIFORNIA'S OVERALL
FLEET OF ROUGHLY TWENTY MILLION
VEHICLES. FROM HYDROGEN FUEL
CELL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY OFFERS
SUBSTANTIAL PROMISED TOWARD
RAPID DECARBONISE
DECARBONISATION UNLIKE BATTERY
ELECTRIC VEHICLES OR BEVS FUEL
CELL ELECTRIC VEHICLES ARE FC
BEES. DO NOT REQUIRE LONG
INTERVALS FOR STATIONARY

ALLOWS CONSUMERS THE OPTION OF
TOWING AND HAULING HEAVY CARGO

IN CHARGING DOWNTIME ASSOCIATED
WITH BATTERY ELECTRIC.
EQUIVALENTS SB FOUR TWENTY FIVE
WOULD UPDATE THE STATE'S
EXISTING MARKET INCENTIVE UNDER
THE CLEAN VEHICLE REBATE
PROJECT. TO ALIGN WITH AN
INCREASED MARKET EXPANSION OF FC
VIS IN THE- TRUCK SEGMENT
SPECIFICALLY AS BEFORE. TWENTY
FIVE WOULD ENHANCE THE CONSUMER
REBATE PROVIDED PURCHASERS OF A
LIGHTER MEDIUM DO FCEV. TRUCK BY
A THOUSAND DOLLARS. B. FOR
TWENTY FIVE ALSO FOR A- OF UP TO
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR LOW
AND MODERATE INCOME DRIVERS IN
CALIFORNIA. WHO WANT TO
PARTICIPATE IN OUR CLEAN ENERGY
TRANSITION BUT CURRENTLY. OFTEN
CANNOT AFFORD TO DO SO FOR THESE
DRIVERS AS BEFORE TWENTY FIVE
WOULD VALIDATE THE STATE'S
COMMITMENT. TO EQUITABLY
INVESTING IN A WORKING CLASS
FAMILIES ENSURING THEY HAVE
ACCESS TO ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES. THAT MEET THEIR NEEDS
IN ADDITION TO THE ENHANCE DVR
P. REBATE. AS BEFORE TWENTY FIVE
WOULD FURTHER ALLOW PURCHASE OF
QUALIFYING FCV PICKUP TRUCKS TO
CLEAN A CLEAN AIR VEHICLE
DECALS. WHICH MAKES THEM
ELIGIBLE TO UTILIZE HOV LANES
ACROSS THE STATE IRRESPECTIVE OF
HOUSEHOLD INCOME. THE ALLOWANCE
FOR TO AWARD A BOTH SEATS BOTH
THE C. V. R. P. AND C. A. B.
PROGRAMS IS DELIBERATELY
INTENDED. TO CREATE COMPELLING
INCENTIVES FOR ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES ADOPTION. IN THIS HARD
TO DECARBONISE CATEGORY AT A
MINIMAL FISCAL EXPENSE. INDUSTRY
EXPERTS AGREE THAT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A ROBUST MARKET
FOR LIGHT AND MEDIUM DUTY FUEL
CELL VEHICLES. REPRESENT THE
SMOOTHEST PATH TOWARD ACHIEVING
ECONOMIES OF SCALE NEEDED FOR
THE WIDESPREAD FURTHER
DEPLOYMENT. OF HYDROGEN AND
HEAVY DUTY TRANSPORTATION PORT
DRAYAGE. AND GOODS MOVEMENT IN
GENERAL AS EVIDENCED BY THE
REGISTRATION OF ALMOST ONE
MILLION NEW PICKUP TRUCKS A YEAR
IN CALIFORNIA. PICKUP TRUCKS ARE
A PRIME EXAMPLE OF A VEHICLE
CLASS IN HIGH DEMAND. AND
DESPERATELY IN NEED OF ZERO
EMISSION OPTIONS IF CALIFORNIA
TENDS TO REALISTICALLY REACH OUR
DECARBONISATION GOALS WE NEED TO
INCREASE. THE MANUFACTURE AND
ADOPTION OF ZERO EMISSION PICKUP
TRUCKS. CONSUMERS WILL WANT
FARMERS AGRICULTURAL WORKERS
LABOR'S LANDSCAPERS CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS AND INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS. ARE EXAMPLES OF THE
TYPES OF PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS
WHOSE LIVELIHOODS DEPEND ON THE
USE. OF A CAPABLE AND RELIABLE

THE PASSAGE OF SB FOUR TWENTY

INCENTIVES. TO ENSURE THESE HARD
WORKING CALIFORNIA'S CANNON WILL
PARTICIPATE IN THIS CRITICAL

CRITICAL SEGMENT OF CALIFORNIA'S
WORKFORCE RANGING FROM
CONSTRUCTION TO LAWN CARE TO
DELIVERY SERVICES. EACH WITH
UNPLANNED INVARIABLE ROUTES WITH

NOT JUST ABOUT CHOICE OF.
PLATFORM BUT ABOUT THE YOU KNOW
SERVE DOWNSTREAM EXTERNAL
CONSEQUENCES OF DIFFERENT
APPROACHES TO DECARBONISATION OF
IT AND THEY'RE ALL VALID RIGHT
BUT BUT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US.
A TWENTY THIRTY FIVE GOAL- YEAH
AND YOU KNOW I WOULD ORGANIZING
MANY REALLY THE ONLY WAY TO MEET
THAT GOAL. IS TO USE ONE OF THE
TWO TECHNOLOGIES FOR ZERO
EMISSIONS VEHICLES ONE OF THOSE
BEING FUEL CELL ELECTRIC

THAT IT WILL BE MUCH HARDER TO
ELECTRIFY THAN OTHERS THAT IS
WHY THE FOCUS IS ON THIS
CATEGORY IN THIS CASE RIGHT.

RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING AND
FUNDING PROGRAMMATIC PLANS TO
BETTER FACILITATE THE REPAIR AND
REUSE OF CLOTHING AND THE
RECYCLING OF TEXTILE FIBERS IN
CALIFORNIA ALTHOUGH MANY PEOPLE.
ARE NOT AWARE AT THE CLOTHING
AND FASHION INDUSTRY ACCOUNTS
FOR FULLY 10% OF THE WORLD'S
CURRENT CARBON DIOXIDE OUTPUT.
FURTHER THE RISING CONTINUED
GROWTH OF FAST FASHION WHICH
REVOLVES AROUND THE MARKETING.
AND SALE OF LOW COST LOW QUALITY
GARMENTS THAT TEND TO GO TO
START WITH INCREASING SPEED.
THREATENS TO HAVE A LONG LASTING
AND DEVASTATING IMPACT ON THE
ENVIRONMENT. IN FACT TEXTILES
ARE CURRENTLY THE FASTEST
GROWING COMPONENT OF
CALIFORNIA'S WAY STREAMS AND
ACCOUNT FOR A PROXY 35% OF TOTAL
WASTE IN CALIFORNIA AND EVEN
THOUGH FULLY NINETY FIVE
PERCENT. OF THE MATERIALS
COMPANY FOUNDED APPAREL AND
TEXTILES ARE IN FACT HIGHLY
RECYCLABLE ONLY AROUND 15% OF
THESE MATERIALS ARE CURRENTLY
BEING RECYCLED. THERE HAS THERE
HAS HOWEVER BEEN A RECENT A
PROFOUND SHIFT IN CONSUMER
SENTIMENT TOWARD PRODUCTS WHICH
ARE SUSTAINABLE AND
ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE IN
RESPONSE TO THIS DEMAND AND THE
INCREASED ATTENTION BEING GIVEN
TO FASHION'S. PROSPECTIVELY
NEGATIVE CLIMATE IMPACTS. AN
INCREASING NUMBER OF MAJOR
CLOTHING BRANDS HAVE RECENTLY
COMMITTED TO BETTER UTILIZING.
RECYCLED FIBERS AND UPCYCLED
MATERIALS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
THEIR PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO
ENCOURAGE. THIS MOVEMENT IN
THEIR BY UNLOCK THE MARKET
POTENTIAL OF SKILLED RECOVERY
PROGRAMS A REVISED FRAMEWORK FOR
RESPONSIBLE STEWARDSHIP.
INFRASTRUCTURE IS NECESSARY IN
CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA HAS A LONG
HISTORY AS A LEADER IN RECYCLING
. MODELS AND TECHNOLOGIES AND
HAS IN PERMITTED A NUMBER OF
GROUND EFFECT EPR PROGRAMS
DESIGN. FOR THEIR OF WAY. AND
ENVIRONMENTAL BY SO ISSUE RISK.
FOR END OF LIFE PRODUCT
MANAGEMENT TO THE PRODUCERS AND
OTHER ENTITIES PARTICIPATING
ACROSS. THE PRODUCT VALUE CHAIN
OF THE NOTE THAT YOU WERE JUST
EARLIER DISCUSSING AND EASY
BATTERY RECYCLING PROGRAM WHICH
APPLIES THE SAME BASIC
PRINCIPLES. IN LIGHT OF THE
NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
OF TEXTILES ON THE WAY STREAM
IT'S TIME TO APPLY. A SIMILAR
INFRASTRUCTURE AND STANDARDS TO
THIS GROWING CATEGORY OF WASTE
UNDER THE CURRENT FRAMEWORK THE
THREE STORES CHARITIES INCLUDING
COLLECTORS ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
WHICH CURRENTLY ACCEPT TEXTILE
DONATIONS HAVE LONG REPRESENTED
THE BEST SECONDHAND MARKET FOR
TEXTILES THAT REMAIN RE.
UNFORTUNATELY HOWEVER WHEN
DONATED GARMENTS ARE FOUND TO BE
DAMAGED OR UNUSABLE BUT SURELY
END UP IN ONE OF TWO PLACES
EITHER IN CALIFORNIA LANDFILLS.
OR- IN OVERSEAS MARKETS TOO
OFTEN ENDING UP IN PARTS OF THE
WORLD WHERE THERE IS
INSUFFICIENT RECYCLING
INFRASTRUCTURE. OR LANDFILLS
SAFETY STANDARDS WHICH
REPRESENTS A SUBSTANTIAL DANGER
TO BOTH THE ENVIRONMENT AND
PUBLIC HEALTH IN THOSE
LOCATIONS. DESPITE THEIR BEST
EFFORTS IN THE POSITIVE ROLE
THAT THEY PLAY THREE STORES
INCLUDING COLLECTORS
UNFORTUNATELY. HAVE NEITHER THE
ADEQUATE RESOURCES NOR ACCESS TO
SYSTEMS WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR THE
EFFECTIVE SORTING OF ONE
SYLLABLE EXES GARMENTS TO
SUPPORT THE REPAIR AND RECLAIM
OF RECYCLABLE TEXTILE FIBERS IN
WAYS THAT WOULD MAKE FIVE BUCKS
THE ECONOMICS OF SUCH EFFORTS.
THAT IS WHY WE NEED ANY PR
FRAMEWORK THE PROVISIONS BEST B.
AS SEVEN SEVEN WILL GENERATE
INDUSTRY FUNDS AND CREATE THE
APPROPRIATE INFRASTRUCTURE. TO
ALLOW THREE SOME COLLECTORS TO
ACCESS- AND CONTRIBUTE TO THESE
SYSTEMS AND ACCESS THESE
RESOURCES. UNDER THESE
PROVISIONS TEXTILE PRODUCERS AND
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS WILL DEVELOP
A FRAMEWORK FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION. AND MANAGEMENT
OF AN END TO END SYSTEM THAT
ENCOURAGES THE REPAIR RECYCLING
OF ALL COVERED PRODUCTS. THEREBY
MINIMIZING THE FLOW OF TEXTILE
PRODUCTS INTO OUR LANDFILLS OR
THE LANDFILLS OF OTHER NATIONS.
ONE OF THE MANY BENEFITS OF THE
PROPOSED EPR FRAMEWORK IS THE
CALIFORNIA WILL NOT HAVE TO
SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFY THEIR
BEHAVIOR. CONSUMERS WILL STILL
BE ENCOURAGED TO BRING THEIR
UNWANTED CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD
TEXTILES TO THREE STORES
CHARITIES. AND OTHER COLLECTION
SITES. FOR DONATION WITH THESE
COLLECTION SITES BECOMING MORE
FULLY IN. INTO A SO. RESTORE AND
ALTER RECITE USED TO. FOR WHICH
FOR WHATEVER REASON MAY BE
REUSABLE RECYCLABLE- A WELL

CURRENTLY BEING LANDFILLED EVEN
WITHOUT BEING SORTED FOR

NAME IS TO TURNER WITH THE NOT
DISTRICT THIRTY. AND I'LL BE
HAPPY OUR LIVE AT THE MEMBERS
AND SOMETHING. WHERE IN
SUPPORTERS THANK THANK YOU FOR.
OKAY BY OPPOSITION FOLKS WANNA
CONCERNED. THANK YOU MISTER
MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE RAINY PA
ON BEHALF OF THE CARPET AND RUG
INSTITUTE WE REPRESENT THE
MANUFACTURES OF THE CARPET
INDUSTRY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
CARE PROGRAM. I FIRST WANT TO
THANK THE SENATOR AND HIS STAFF
AND ALSO THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
TAKING THE TIME TO MEET WITH US
TO TALK ABOUT THE CARPET PROGRAM
BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR
IMPROVEMENT. I THINK IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT JUST TO ACKNOWLEDGE
TODAY THAT FOR THE YEAR TWENTY
TWENTY TO CARE CAME OUT WITH
THEIR REPORT WHERE THEY EXCEEDED
ALL OF THEIR GOALS AND MATTER
FACT RECYCLING RATE WAS SUPPOSED
TO BE A TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT.
THEY CAME IN AT 33% IN THE
FOURTH QUARTER IT REACHED 39%
THE PROGRAM IS WORKING WE HAVE
OVER FOUR HUNDRED COLLECTION
SITES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. AND
TO THE FOLKS AT THE UNION WITH
THE PRINCIPAL GRAMS I CAN TELL
YOU WE DID TRAINED CARE TOLD ME
THEY TRAIN TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE
DOWN AT D. C. SIXTEEN. THEY DID
VIDEOS THEY HAVE PAPER MATERIALS
THEY HAVE WEBSITES THEY ALSO
HAVE DONE EXTENT ABOUT REACH DC
THIRTY SIX SO I WOULD ASK THAT
THEY CONTINUE TO CONTACT CARE.
THEY'RE READY TO BEGIN TRAINING
IMMEDIATELY WE'VE ALSO PLACE
PALLETS WE ALSO PLACE CONTAINERS
AT THEIR LOCATIONS TO MAKE SURE
WE CAN CONTINUE TO TAKE BACK
CARPET. WITH THE PROGRAM
CONTINUES TO WORK PROPERLY WE
JUST ARE CONCERNED A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE BILL ABOUT HOW
DISTRACTING LIKE SAYS THREE OR
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS TOWARDS A
PROGRAM. WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW
WHETHER YOU NEED THAT MUCH MONEY
TO DO THIS TRAINING SO WE
BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE VERY
FOCUSED IT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON
HOW DO YOU TAKE BACK CARPET. HOW
YOU PREPARED FOR RECYCLING. AND

GOING OUT FOR ITS ACROSS SEVERAL
STATE AGENCIES TO ADDRESS THE
PERVASIVE ENVIRONMENTAL AND
PUBLIC HEALTH RISKS POSED BY
PLASTIC HAS LAID SOME FERTILE
GROUND FOR THE GROWTH OF
ALTERNATIVE MATERIAL TYPES. WE
GOT PIONEERING COMPANIES MINIMUM
BASE HERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT ARE
SEIZING ON CONSUMER DEMAND FOR
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OPTIONS
BY CREATING PACKAGING MATERIALS
ARE INTRODUCING CUTLERY MADE
FROM UNCONVENTIONAL SOURCES FOR
THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THESE
NOVEL MATERIAL TYPES VARY
GREATLY DEPENDING ON HOW THEY'RE
PRODUCED OR HOW THEY BREAK DOWN
AND END OF LIFE. SOME OF THESE
NEW MATERIALS ARE CREATED FROM
BIOLOGICAL SOURCES THAT COULD BE
COMPOSTABLE OR BIODEGRADABLE AND
DIFFERENT TYPES OF ENVIRONMENTS
OR WITH THE USE OF CATALYST.
SUMMER SOURCE RENEWABLE
FEEDSTOCK BUT HAVE THE SAME
PROPERTIES IS FOSSIL FUEL BASED
PLASTIC. CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY
LACKS A MEANINGFUL WAY TO
EVALUATE THE POTENTIAL BENEFITS
OR LONG TERM IMPACTS OF THESE
NEW MATERIALS EVEN OUR
VERNACULAR STRUGGLES TO
DIFFERENT SHEETS OF SUSTAINABLE
OPTIONS FROM THOSE. WHO HE MIGHT
SEEK TO SHIFT AWAY FROM. THIS
BILL WILL CONVENE A WORKING
GROUP OF THE RELEVANT STATE
AGENCIES TO DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK
TO EVALUATE PLASTIC ALTERNATIVES
AS THEY ARE INTRODUCED ON THE
MARKET INFORM EFFORTS TO ENSURE
THE MATERIALS ARE PROPERLY
MANAGED. THE GROUP WILL BE
TASKED WITH ESTABLISHING A
METHODOLOGY FOR EFFECTIVELY
EVALUATING COMPARING THESE NEW
MATERIALS ALONG WITH
RECOMMENDING POLICY APPROACHES
TO ENSURE PROPER REGULATORY
OVERSIGHT. THIS WOULD INCLUDE
DEVELOPING PRODUCTION AND
CONSUMER SAFETY STANDARDS
EVALUATING ENVIRONMENTAL AND
PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACTS
RECOMMENDING. LABELING AND SAFE
AND OF LIFE MANAGEMENT
REQUIREMENTS SHE DOES. MEMBERS
RIGHT ACROSS JUNCTURE UNIT IN
THE- ARE BEING INTO. UNDER

THE TOOLS TO UNDERSTAND THE
PRESENT CONSERVATION ALTERNATIVE
AND TO ENSURE OUR STATUTORY AND
REGULATORY REGIMES. INCENTIVIZE
BETTER MORE STAFF MORE
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS AND WE
HAVE HERE TODAY JOHN KENNEDY.
WITH THE RURAL COUNTIES RC RC.
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
. MORNING SO I THINK- JOHN
KENNEDY WITH RC RC AND STRONG
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. AS I SAID
BEFORE WE HAVE FORTY WORLD
COUNTIES- OFTEN VERY LOW
POPULATION COUNTIES. LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HISTORICALLY HAVE
BEEN THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR
ACHIEVING THE STATE SOLID WASTE
RECYCLING OBJECTIVES. AND WE'VE
TRADITIONALLY HAD NO ROLE- FOR
SAY AND WHAT GETS INTRODUCED
INTO THE STREAM OF COMMERCE THAT
WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH AT THE END
OF THE DAY ONCE CONSUMERS ARE
DONE WITH THAT. SO FOR THOSE
REASONS THAT WE'VE SUPPORTED-
THE AUTHORS SB FIFTY FOUR LAST
YEAR- WHICH REQUIRES
MANUFACTURERS TO TAKE GREATER
CONTROL OVER SOME CLASSES OF
PRODUCTS SINGLE USE PACKAGING
SINGLE USE. PLASTIC FOODSERVICE
WHERE- SB SIX SIXTY FIVE DOES
FILL AN IMPORTANT GAP- IT TRIES
TO HELP THE STATE GET AHEAD OF
FUTURE PROBLEMS AVOID
REGRETTABLE SUBSTITUTIONS. SO WE
DON'T HAVE THE CHALLENGES WITH
WASTE MANAGEMENT IN THE FUTURE
REQUIRES THE STATE TO DEVELOP A
FRAMEWORK TO EVALUATE THESE NEW
MATERIAL TYPES. THEIR IMPACT ON
THE ENVIRONMENT AND HOW THEY FIT
INTO THE EXISTING SOLID WASTE
SYSTEM. SO WE APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR BRING IN THIS BILL UP WE
APPRECIATE CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE AUTHOR ON HOW TO ENSURE
LOCALS ARE ENGAGED IN THIS-
WORKING GROUP AND TO ENSURE THAT
IT CONSIDERS. THE EASE WITH
WHICH THESE MATERIALS CAN BE
WORKED INTO THE EXISTING
RECYCLING PROCESS SO FOR THESE
REASONS WE URGE DRIVERS ON SIX

OF A- THE MOTION. CALL THE ROLL
. I NUMBER SIXTEEN SB SIX FIVE
FIVE BY SENATOR ALLEN THE MOTION
IS TO PASS TO THE SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE ALLEN.
ALLEN HI DALY DALY AYE GONZALEZ
GONZALEZ I HER TADO MENJIVAR
MAJOR ARE I KNEW IN. SKINNER.
THAT BILL IS ON CALL DOCTORS THE
THERE SO. ALL RIGHT- YOUR SECOND
AND LAST BILL I THINK OF THE DAY
. THE U. S. BILL TODAY. YES SB
SEVEN SEVEN SEVEN. THE DOCTOR
BOEING JET- THIS BILL PROVIDES
MUCH NEEDED TRANSPARENCY ON HOW
RETAIL STORES OR SPENDING THE
MONEY THEY CHARGE CONSUMERS AND
CUSTOMERS FOR PLASTIC CARRY OUT
BAGS SO I'M NOT EITHER SO IT'S
ABOUT A DECADE AGO I CENTER. THE
IDEA X. NOW BACK TO BEING CENTER
PADILLA- PAST DUE AUTHORED SB
TWO SEVENTY IN BEEN IN THIS IS A
BILL THAT. WHERE WHERE IT WAS
THE PLASTIC BAG BILL FOLKS ME
REMEMBERS THAT MEASURE ALLOWS
STORES TO SELL. REUSABLE BAGS
INCLUDING THICK PLASTIC BAGS ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE REASONABLE
ADDITIONALLY IT'S AS THE STORIES
MUST CHARGE A MINIMUM. OF TEN
CENTS FOR THE STICK PLASTIC BAGS
AND ONLY ALLOWS THE REVENUE THAT
THEY COLLECT TO BE USED TO COVER
THE COST OF THE BAG ACOSTA
COMPLIANCE AROUND EDUCATIONAL
MATERIALS TO ENCOURAGE.
CUSTOMERS TO REUSE THE BACKS NOW
THE LAW CONTAINS OTHER
SIGNIFICANT REQUIREMENTS RELATED
THE RECYCLABILITY OF THE CURB
BAGS WHICH I'M NATURALLY
CONCERNED ABOUT- HOWEVER THE
GOAL THE BILL'S FOCUS ON SHARING
RETAILERS ARE LAWFULLY SPENDING
THE MONEY MADE BY CHARGING
CONSUMERS FOR THOSE BACKS. NINE
YEAR OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM
CONSTITUENTS OFFERED THE THICK
PLASTIC BAGS ABOUT THEIR-
SINCERE CONCERNS REGARDING THE
LACK OF EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE AND
REUSE THE BAGS. ON THE GENERAL
FEELING IS THAT STORES ARE
PUSHING THESE PLASTIC BAGS OUT
SIMPLY TO PROFIT. ON THE TEN
CENSUS- ARE BEING COLLECTED WITH
ZERO REGARD AS TO WHETHER OR NOT
WE'RE SIMPLY. NOT PUSHING MORE
PLASTIC IN THE ENVIRONMENT. WITH
REALLY NO PLAN IN PLACE TO
COLLECT. WE'RE HEARING ALL SORTS
OF. STORIES FROM. A FROM FOLKS
WHO WERE GROUP'S STORES ABOUT-
HOW THEY'RE BEING ENCOURAGED TO
PUSH THOSE BAGS ON FOLKS. SO
THIS BILL WOULD AS IF THE IT'S
EASY TO GIVE DATA I MEAN IT'S
ULTIMATELY TRANSPARENCY BILL
ABOUT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND HOW
THIS MONEY IS BEING SPENT BY
REQUIRING RETAILERS. TO REPORT
THE COSTS INCURRED TO PROVIDE
THE BAGS ACOSTA COMPLIANCE WITH
SB TWO SEVENTY CENTER BUT YES
BILL. AND THE COST OF EFFORTS TO
EDUCATE CONSUMERS AND WORKERS TO
INCREASE. FOR USE. SO WE'VE GOT
TODAY- OTHER TOTAL RECALL WHO
IS. WHERE YOU DONE. YES YES.
WELL IN SOME. RIGHT THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN.
EDITORS IN WELCOME AFTER. SENATE
ALLEN THANK YOU FOR WRITING
ABOUT LIBERAL TO RECALL ME UP
UNITED PUTTING. WORKERS WESTERN
STATES COUNCIL SPONSORS OF THE
BILL. I CENTERONE ARTICULATED OR
DIRECT THREE ALLOWABLE USES. FOR
THE FUNDS COLLECTED FROM THE
SALE OF THE OF THE REUSABLE
BAGS. ARE ONE OF THEM IS TRUE
THE COSTS ASSOCIATED PROGRAM THE
SECOND. IS THE ACTUAL COST OF
THE BAGS IN THE THIRD IS TO.
EDUCATE THE PUBLIC. IF I ALL OF
YOU OF COURSE HAVE BEEN IN
GROCERY STORES AND THERE REALLY
IS. NO SIGHT OF ANY EDUCATIONAL.
EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE CONSUMERS
TO CHANGE BEHAVIOR. I WILL SAY
THAT HAS UP HIS CLOTHES FORWARD
ONE THE ISSUES RAISED ANALYSIS
IS. PERHAPS THE MISUSE OF FUNDS.
AND THIS BILL IS NOT NECESSARY
WE SHOULD USE THE MONEY FOR
THAT. I'LL JUST POINT OUT THAT
THE- IT'S IRONIC ISN'T RUNNING
ARGUMENT BECAUSE- THE ORIGINAL
BILL SB TWO SEVENTY. I'D I'D SET
FORTH THE PROPER USE OF THE
MONEY. I DID NOT SEE. OPRY'S OF
THE MONEY FROM THE BANKS IS
PROFITEERING. SO WE THINK THE
BANK'S CUSTOMER FROM THREE TO
FIVE CENTS EACH THE BUDGET SO
FOR TEN CENTS. THAT'S AT MINIMUM
UNDER PERCENT MARKUP SO IT'S
PROBABLY THE MOST PROFITABLE
ITEM IN THE STORE AND THAT'S
CLEARLY NOT THE PURPOSE. SO WITH
THAT- COMMITTEE REFLECT SALES
FROM ABOUT. OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT. MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
MARK MURRAY WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP CALIFORNIANS
AGAINST WASTE- I THINK THERE'S
SOME CONFUSION ABOUT THE YOU
KNOW THIS IS TEN YEARS SINCE WE
PASS THIS LAW AND THE OPPOSITION
IS ASK THE QUESTION. WHY IS THIS
BILL NECESSARY AND I THINK THE
ANALYSIS POINTS OUT PRECISELY
WHY THIS BILL IS NECESSARY AND I
HEARD SOME COMMENTS AT A RECENT
BUDGET HEARING ON THIS SUBJECT
BY CENTER DOLLY. THAT
UNDERSCORES WHY I THINK THAT
THIS BILL IS NEEDED THERE SEEMS
TO BE CONFUSION REGARDING THE
REQUIREMENT THAT THESE BAGS BE
RICK. RECYCLABLE AS A CONDITION
OF THEIR SALE RIGHT THIS THE
STATUTE THAT WE PASSED FORTY TO
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN IS EXPLICIT
THEY MUST BE RECYCLABLE IN THIS
STATE. THE ONLY WAY THAT THESE
BAGS ARE RECYCLABLE IN THE STATE
IS IF THE GROCERY STORES ARE
TAKING THEM BACK. I BELIEVE THAT
THE LANGUAGE WHICH ALLOWS THE
STORES TO SPEND THIS MONEY ON
ONLY THREE THINGS. ALL MONIES
COLLECTED. MAY ONLY BE USED. ON
THE RECYCLING. THIS THIS
LEGISLATION IS MAKING THAT
EXPLICIT IN TERMS OF THAT'S ONE
OF THE THINGS YOU CAN SPEND THIS
MONEY ON JUST IN CASE THERE WAS
CONFUSION ABOUT THAT. THE SECOND
GENERAL ISSUE OF CONFUSION IS.
THAT IT IT WAS RAISED IN THE
ANALYSIS IS. THERE IS NO PATHWAY
FOR STORES TO MAKE ANY MONEY ON
THIS BAG THE ONLY PURPOSE OF
THIS THIS CHARGE THAT WE COMPEL
THE STORES TO CHARGE WE
COMPELLED THEM TO SELL THESE
BAGS AT A MINIMUM PRICE. IS TO
SPEND IT FOR THE PURPOSES THAT
ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE BILL ON
THE EDUCATION BOND
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ACT- AND
ON THE COSTS OF THE BAGS
THEMSELVES SO THOSE ARE THE ONLY
THINGS. THIS THIS IS PRECISELY
WHY THIS BILL IS NEEDED BECAUSE
THERE SEEMS TO BE CONFUSION ON
THE PART OF THE STORES AS TO
WHETHER THE THESE BAGS HAVE TO
BE RECYCLABLE AND WHAT THEY CAN
SPEND THIS MONEY ON. WE ARE
TRIBAL THANK YOU- NOW WILL HEAR
THOSE. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT HERE
IN ROOM TWELVE HUNDRED SIGNAL IN
OPPOSITION MAY. NOW TESTIFY ALL
. GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. I
GUESS WE'LL PUT THIS UNDER NO
GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED- THE
CALIFORNIA GROCERY ASSOCIATION
WAS PART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS ON
S. B. TWO SEVENTY HELP TO GET
THE VOTES TO PASS SB TWO
SEVENTY. HELP FIGHT AGAINST THE
REFERENDUM ON S. B. TWO SEVENTY
AND NOW OUR STORES. ONLY OFFER.
REUSABLE RECYCLABLE. BAGS
CERTIFIED BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO OUR CONSUMERS WHO
ASKED FOR THEM. STARTING TWENTY
ONE TWENTY FIVE EVEN THE PRE
CHECK OUT BAGS IN OUR STORES
WILL BE COMPOSTABLE. WE DID THIS
BECAUSE AT THAT TIME SINGLE USE
PLASTIC BAGS WERE THE BANE OF
OUR EXISTENCE WE HAD TO GET RID
OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAGS. AND
SINCE THAT TIME THERE'S BEEN NO
ADDITIONAL ACTION AGAINST ANY
OTHER BUSINESS. ENTERPRISE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT
OFFERS SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAGS
IN FACT. I HAD TO GET ONE TO GET
INTO THIS BUILDING TODAY. AND SO
NOW WE COME BACK AND WE'RE
ASKING ABOUT TRANSPARENCY
GROCERY STORES ARE MAKING MONEY
ON THIS CONSUMERS. WANT THE
OPTION OF BAGS ONE OF THE
REASONS THAT WE OFFERED AND WE
PUT IN THIS BILL THE REUSABLE
PLASTIC BAG BECAUSE DURING THOSE
CONVERSATIONS IT WAS REALIZED
THAT THERE'S SIGNIFICANT PART.
OF OUR CONSUMERS IN CALIFORNIA.
THEY CAN'T HANDLE MULTIPLE
PAPERBACKS. I CAN'T TAKEN FROM
THE STORE AND GET ON PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION. AND GO GO HOME
WITH THAT WITH THOSE BAGS THEY
NEEDED SOMETHING WAS MORE
DURABLE. SO WE PUT IN THE BILL.
THESE REQUIREMENTS THAT THESE
REUSABLE PLASTIC BAG TO BE
CERTIFIED BY CAL RECYCLE A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE USES. IT
SAYS IT ON THE BACK. IF THERE'S
ISSUES WITH THE RECYCLABILITY IS
IT ON THE GROCERY STORE. OR IS
IT ON THE SYSTEM. MOST LOCAL
MOST LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WON'T
ALLOW YOU TO PUT BAGS OF THIS
NATURE IN A BLUE BAND. AND SO IF
A CONSUMER WANTS TO EACH RECYCLE
THEM THEY MAY THEY MAY NOT HAVE
ANY OPTIONS. THERE ARE MANY
STORES WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA DO PROVIDE FOR IT AND
DO ALLOW FOR THOSE THOSE BAGS TO
COME BACK WE WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THAT PART OF THE PROCESS HAPPY
TO DO THAT. WE NEED TO PROVIDE
SOME DATA HAPPY TO DO THAT IN A
GENERAL FORM THAT THE CAL
RECYCLE COULD USED TO ACTUALLY
START TO MEASURE THE
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS BUT THIS
BILL WOULD HAVE US GIVE THAT
INFORMATION TO. THE UNIONS FOR
PURPOSES A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AGREEMENTS WHAT ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFIT DOES IT HAVE WITH THAT
SO. WE'RE HERE NOT WITHSTANDING
MY COMMENTS STAY WILLING TO WORK
WITH SENATOR ALAN- WE WANT TO
MAKE THIS WORK WE'VE BEEN AT THE
FOREFRONT OF THIS WE FEEL LIKE
FOR MAYBE BEING TARGETED JUST A
LITTLE BIT AFTER DOING THE GOOD
DEED SO WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE
LAST TEN YEARS. BUT WITH THAT
BEING SAID WILL WORK WITH THE
SENATOR BUT AFTER ASK FOR NO
VOTE TODAY. THANK YOU ANYONE
ELSE WISHING TO. SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION. MISTER VICE CHAIR
SENATORS TINA FEEL- ON BEHALF
THE CALIFORNIA RETAILERS
ASSOCIATION. IN AGREEMENT WITH
THE PREVIOUS- PREVIOUS WITNESS
IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE CENTER AND OTHERS THANK YOU
. SEEING NO ONE ELSE IN YOUR IN
ROOM TWELVE HUNDRED WE CAN GO TO
THE- LINES FOR OPPOSITION AND
SUPPORT TOGETHER. PLEASE PRESS
ONE ZERO AT THIS TIME. FIRST THE
LINE. FORTY THREE. FORTY THREE
ORLANDO BENNETT. HELLO GO AHEAD
AND ATTACK RETIREMENT CALIFORNIA
. THANK YOU. AND CURRENTLY NOT
MEANT FOR THEIR IN. THANK YOU WE
WILL THEN CLOSE THAT PART OF THE
HEARING AND BRING IT BACK TO-
LEGISLATORS WHO WOULD HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BILL I HAVE
A MOTION FROM. SENATOR GONZALEZ-
I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS WELL I
HAVE SOME COMMENTS FIRST OFFICE
SENATOR ALAN- I DID BRING THIS
UP IN SUB TO BECAUSE THIS IS A
VERY- AND I'M GONNA I'M GONNA BE
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY- COMMENTS
HERE AND I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT
THE RETAILERS AND I WAS HERE AND
TO WIN WIN THE BAG BAN. SO THE
REGIONALLY THERE WAS A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION IS THAT WE'RE GONNA
BAN BAGS IN THE REFERENDUM WHICH
MEANS YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING
UNTIL I GOT WAS GOING TO BE
REFERENDUM AND THEN OUT OF THAT
GAME. ACTUALLY THIS BILL- THE
BILL ORIGINAL BILL THAT ALLOWED
HIM TO CHARGE- UP TO TEN CENTS.
MY FRUSTRATION IS THAT. IT
DOESN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT THE END OF THE DAY
IT'S JUST DROUGHT DROVE THE COST
UP AND THE RETAILERS I GUESS NOW
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO.
DEMONSTRATE WHAT IT WHAT'S
HAPPENING WITH IT I BELIEVE
THEY'RE PROFITING. AND THAT'S
WHY THEY AGREED TO THOSE. THINGS
IN THE BILL LIKE WE'RE HELPING
TO THIS THAT I OF COURSE IF YOU
CAN. CHARGE MORE FOR A PRODUCT.
AND MAKE MONEY. AND NOT HAVE TO
REALLY DO ANYTHING THEN YOU
WOULD DO IT. SO I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I LIKE ABOUT THE
BILL THE FACT IS THAT THE AND I
WAS TRYING TO. FIND THE UNION
PART OF I WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT
THAT. PART OF THE BILL- BECAUSE
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH.
DOING THE RIGHT THING FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT I THINK THE RIGHT
THING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT IS. IS
THAT. WE WOULD ACTUALLY SEE.
THESE BAGS ARE ALL OVER THE
PLACE STILL. BE DRIVE DOWN TODAY
THE LEVY RIGHT OUT HERE ON ON
AMERICAN RIVER AND BAGS
EVERYWHERE. SO THIS MONEY IS NOT
GOING TO. THAT IS IN THERE'S NOT
GOING TO PICK IT UP AND I WANNA
SAY. THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY
WHICH SUPPORTED THE LEGISLATION
- UNDER BAGS. SHAME ON THEM
BECAUSE IT WAS ALL ABOUT JUST
DRIVING THE COST UP- IT WILL ADD
TO MAKE THE CONSUMER PAY MORE SO
THEY'LL DIVERTED USING SOME
OTHER SOURCE. OF A BAG SO. SO
THERE WAS THERE'S BEEN ISSUES ON
BOTH SIDES OF IT- BUT I'D LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT THE UNION PART OF
IT BECAUSE THAT'S THE PART I
THINK THE RETAILERS ARE GONNA
GET WHATEVER THEY DESERVE.
BECAUSE THEY JUST CUT A DEAL.
THE DEAL WAS. WE DON'T HAVE TO
DO ANYTHING WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
A PROFIT THE VIRUS LIKE TO CAUSE
A DRIVE THE COST UP. BUT TALK
ABOUT THE UNION PART OF THIS IS
THAT THE ONLY THING ABOUT THE
UNION IS THAT THEY CAN SEE THE
REPORT. THANKS FOR WOULD HAVE TO
PUT THAT IN THERE ANYBODY CAN
LOOK AT IT. RIGHT WHO WHO CAN'T
LOOK AT IT FRAZIER ARGUMENT
EARLIER TO THE- DA PERSON. THAT
WHY WHY DO YOU HAVE TO PUT THAT
AND I AGREE THAT THEY OUGHT TO
BE GIVEN NOTICE TO SO I'M GONNA
TALK TO JUDICIARY ABOUT- SO I'M
ALL ABOUT GIVE PEOPLE NOTICE.
RIGHT BUT I MEAN YOU'RE YOU'RE
ACTUALLY CARVING OUT JUST THE
UNIONS HERE WHEN THEY'RE GOING
TO BUILD ANYBODY SHOULD BE A
LOOK AT THE REPORT NOT JUST
UNIONS AND- IT SMELLS OF A
REASON FOR UNIONS TO BE
NEGOTIATED. LOOK AT THEIR
PROFITEERING OFF OF. THE BAGS
AND THEY'RE NOT HELPING
ENVIRONMENT UNLESS HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION- GOSH I MEAN IT'S
SUCH A MINOR ASK WELL WHY. I'M
HAPPY YOU KNOW LET'S. TALK ABOUT
IT I MEAN I DO I WANT TO SUPPORT
YOUR BILL BECAUSE I'M FOR IT I
DON'T KNOW. I REALLY THAT BIG A
DEAL. I BROUGHT IT UP I WAS ONE
OF THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT US I'M
FRUSTRATED THAT WITH THE FACT
IT. JUST DRIVING THE COSTA. I
MEAN I MEAN I GUESS I GUESS WHAT
I WOULD SAY IS. IN THE ORIGINAL
DEAL THE MONEY WAS SUPPOSED TO
BE USED TO TRAIN WORKERS. SO I
GUESS TO THAT EXTENT THERE'S-
DIFFERENT WORKERS TO DO WHAT. TO
DO TO BE NO TO BETTER UNDERSTAND
ALL THE ISSUES AT PLAY AND- YOU
KNOW ABOUT ABOUT RECYCLABILITY
WHERE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE.
COLLECTING THE- OTHER SOURCE WE
COLLECTING THE BAGS AND
EVERYTHING AFTERWARDS. SO. WELL
I DON'T KNOW I MEAN I LOOK I
HEAR YOU BUT I. MEAN OF ALL THE-
OF ALL THE LABOR CARVE OUTS THAT
EXISTS TO THIS LEGISLATURE- THAT
I I'VE I KNOW THAT YOU ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT- THIS GOT IT
WOULD YOU PROVIDING OF THE
REPORT I DON'T KNOW IS I REALLY-
ALL RIGHT. WELL I DO PROVIDE A
THINK IT'S- YOU KNOW. I MEAN I
REALLY NEED TO BE SAID BECAUSE
EARLIER. YOU YOU DEBATED THE
STORY I PRETTY HEAVILY EXCEPT
EXCEPT I AGREE WITH HIM THAT
THEY OUGHT TO BE GIVEN. THE
ALREADY GIVEN. NOTICE I DO AGREE
WITH HIM ON THAT. I'M IN A I'M
I'M PERSONALLY ENCOURAGING-
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE TO GET OUT
TO. THE WELL I'M- SO I MEAN
THAT'S THIS I DON'T KNOW I MEAN
. YEAH I GOT YEAH THAT'S AWESOME
THE- I JUST I DON'T KNOW I JUST
THINK IT'S A- TO REQUIRE BY
YEAH. IF I COULD DO THAT BUT
WHAT THE MESSAGE IS FOR SURE. AB
APPROACH WE'RE GONNA BE UP FOR
YOU C. W. FIRST OF ALL. AS A
SENATOR SEVERAL POINTED OUT. ONE
OF THE PRO. USE THE FUNDS IS FOR
TED THE PUBLIC IMAGE. HAVE AN
EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN WHICH IN
THE MEMBERS OF YOUR SHOULD WE
SEEN THAT THAT'S OUR INTEREST IN
THE LET'S SAY. WE PUT LANGUAGE
IN. REGARDING REPORT BECAUSE WE
WERE CAN AS BILL GOES TO THE
PROCESS. THE W. SICK ERROR OF
THE BILL THE BILL THING FROM.
FOR WHAT MAKES. IF THE IF THE
AMENDMENT IS THAT THE PUBLIC
WILL HAVE ACCESS TO THE
INFORMATION ONCE IT'S FILED. THE
GENERAL PUBLIC. OVER DARLING
WHICH WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN
CONCERNED ABOUT THE BILL
ULTIMATELY BE NARROWED IN
BECOMING SOLD. A POTENTIAL
MOMENT THAT THE LINK THAT THE
INFORMATION IS NOT AVAILABLE TO
THE PUBLIC IT'S ONLY BUILT WILL
TO COVER CYCLE. THAT'S REALLY
WHAT THAT LANGUAGE RESIDENT FOR
TO MAKE SURE. THAT THE LANGUAGE
WAS ACCESSIBLE TO WE HAD THE
REPORTS WE CAN EVALUATE
PROPERLY. HOW MUCH MONEY WAS
BEING. MADE FOR THE BACKS. I
THINK MISTER OUR- OUR SUPPORT
YOUR BILL TODAY BUT I BUT I
THINK. THAT IS BE AVAILABLE TO
ANY THAT WANTS READ WHY IS IT
NOT. IMAGE IT'S KIND OF I'M JUST
MY STAFF THAT AND I. IT'S GOING
TO BE. COVERED IT'S KIND OF A
CALLING FOR ON A COUPLE GO TO
COACH IS PART IT FOR. CORRECT
THE BILL DOESN'T SAY IT'S THEM.
IS IN DIRECTION BE PUBLIC THE
LANGUAGE IS NOT. I MEAN ALL IT
SAYS OVER TO ABOUT HERE SENATOR
IS THIS LINE ON THE SIDE PAGE OF
THE BILL THAT YOU SAYS. AN
AUTHOR REPRESENTATIVE. OF A STE.
WITH A BY MADE A REVIEW IN MAY
COPIES THE REPORTS. BY THE STORE
THE PART PURSUED SUBDIVISION BE
. BUT THESE ARE ALL THAT THAT
ALL SOME THAT. THAT'S ALL THAT'S
ALL PUBLIC GOOD FOR AS IT IS I.
I'M DONE IF YOU WANT TO CLOSE
THAT BIG. IT JUST PROVIDES
AMERICAN FOR THE FOR CLASS.
INFORMATION I DON'T KNOW. OF
OKAY I. THE DEBATE AS ALWAYS I
APPRECIATE YOU. MY GOOD FOR AND
- I DON'T ALSO FOR YOU USE IN.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING DO HERE RIGHT
I MEAN IN END TODAY I THINK YOU.
THAT THIS IS A- I REALLY. I
HEARD MIKE MY LOUIS BROWN'S COM
AND I WILL CARE IN I'M CERTAINLY
WE DON'T WANT- TO BE PUT IN
PLACE REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE. YOU
KNOW OVERLY ONEROUS I MEAN THIS
IS JUST ALL TOO MANY ABOUT-
TRANSPARENCY THAT WOULD ALLOW US
TO GET TO THE CORE OF WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO WITH. THE ORIGINAL
PADILLA BILL- SO IF IT'S A
MATTER OF HONING THE- REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS TO REALLY GET DOWN
TO. THE CORE GOALS THAT WE HAVE
WE'RE SO HAPPY TO HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION AND FIGURE OUT SOME
GOOD LANGUAGE THAT WE CAN- WE
CAN ALL FEEL GOOD ABOUT BUT- YOU
KNOW I DO I DO THINK THAT. YOU
KNOW THE FOLKS WHO WORK THOSE
THOSE LINES AT AT THE AT THE- AT
THE AT THE GROCERY STORES. I
HAVE A- YOU KNOW HAVE A LOT OF
KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE FOOTBALL
SEASON THAT ARE BEING PURSUED
WITHIN. THE STORES AND- THEY
THEY WERE PART OF THE
CONVERSATION TOO AND I JUST
DON'T THINK IT'S AN APPROPRIATE
FOR THEM TO BE- PROVIDED WITH
