. OKAY. CEREMONY PRESENTING ONE
BILL TODAY SENATE BILL SIX TWO
TWO THESE ARE EVEN READY THANK
YOU SO MUCH MISTER CHAIRMAN
FIRST SO EXISTING LAW REQUIRES
THE STATE TO ESTABLISH A UNIQUE
IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR
CANNABIS I TO TRACK PRODUCT FROM
SEED TO SALE AT THIS TRACK AND
TRACE SYSTEM IS INTENDED TO
PREVENT DIVERSION TO AND- AND
THE- HAVE A PROTECTION FROM THE
UNLICENSED MARKET AND ALSO TO
MINIMIZE THREATS TO PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY IN THE EVENT
OF A PRODUCT RECALL. NO LAW ALSO
SPECIFIES THAT A UNIQUE.
IDENTIFIER MUST BE VISIBLE IN A
FIX BY CULTIVATORS TO THE BASE
OF EACH CANNABIS PLANT THIS
REQUIREMENT CREATES UNNECESSARY
LABOR AND OPERATIONAL COSTS FOR
CANNABIS CULTIVATORS AS WELL AS
MILLIONS OF POUNDS. OF NEEDLESS
PLASTIC WASTE INCLUDING TAGS OF
TIES PACKAGING AND DISPOSAL BAGS
. ACCORDING TO. DATA PROVIDED TO
US BY THE DEPARTMENT THE DC THE
DEPARTMENT OF CAMPUS CONTROL-
SOMETHING LIKE FORTY THREE
MILLION PLASTIC TAGS WHERE YOU
SHOULD BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
LICENSED CULTIVATORS IN TWENTY
TWO TWENTY TWO. AT A COST OF NET
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS TO THE
STATE- THE INDIVIDUAL PLASTIC
PLANT TAGS ARE INEFFECTIVE AT
PREVENTING DIVERSION SINCE
CANNABIS PRODUCT WOULD NOT BE
DEFERRED UNTIL THE PLANTS ARE
HARVESTED. ALL INDIVIDUAL
PLANTAGENETS CARD UPON OUR UPON
HARVEST AND THE PRODUCT IS THEN
BASHED WITH A SINGLE PACKAGE TAG
FOR THE TRACK AND TRACE PROGRAM
PRODUCTS ONLY EVER TRACED BACK
TO THE BATCH. AND THE INDIVIDUAL
PLANT IS NEVER IDENTIFIED THE
SAME BATCHING SYSTEM IS USED BY
THE CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU IN
THE US DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE TO
TRACK PRODUCE IN CASE A PRODUCT
RECALL SO THIS BILL SEEKS TO
PROVIDE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE
DEPARTMENT. TO REGULATE HOW
CANNABIS PLANTS ARE TAG TO
ENSURE EASY IDENTIFICATION OF
PLANTS. FOR EFFECTIVE
ENFORCEMENT BY INSPECTORS IN
COMPLIANCE BY CULTIVATORS WHILE
MINIMIZING WASTEFUL AND
EXPENSIVE QUITE FRANKLY ABSENT
NECESSARY. SINGLE USE TAGS. THE
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF OUR
BUILT. ON THIS AFTERNOON THIS
MORNING. IS AMY ACQUIREMENT
JENKINS- ON BEHALF OF CANDY
CRAFT AND WE ALSO DO SINCE
MONSTER ON BEHALF OF THE
NATIONAL STEWARDSHIP ACTION
COUNCIL. MS JENKINS PLEASE
PROCEED GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AMY
JENKINS HERE ON BEHALF OF
CALCRAFT VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
CALIFORNIA CANNABIS COMPANY.
WITH A LICENSED CANNABIS FARM
LAKE COUNTY- EXISTING LAW
REQUIRES LICENSED CULTIVATORS TO
US FIX THE PLANT TAG TO EVERY
SINGLE CANNABIS PLANT IN THE
STATE. BESIDES ARE ONLY USED
ONCE ON ONE PLANT AND THEN
THROWN AWAY AS THE AUTHOR STATED
DURING THE SUMMER PLANTING THIS
MEANS CULTIVATORS LIKE
HANDICRAFT. BRING IN TEMPORARY
CREWS TO DO THE BACK BREAKING
WORK OF THE ZIP TYING ONE TIED
TO EACH INDIVIDUAL PLANT IN
TEMPERATURES WELL OVER A HUNDRED
DEGREES IN SOME CASES. DURING
THE FALL HARVEST CULTIVATORS
BRING INCREASE AGAIN TO REMOVE
THOSE SAME TAGS AND THEN THROW
THEM AWAY. AS IMPORTANT AS THE
HUMAN TOLL IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL.
OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS AT THE
STATE HAS USED BETWEEN TWO
HUNDRED AND TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION PLASTIC PLANT TAGS
GENERATING OVER A MILLION POUNDS
OF PLASTIC WASTE. BUT THE
BIGGEST TRAGEDY HERE IS THAT
THOSE TAGS DO NOTHING TO PREVENT
DIVERSION WHICH WAS THE STATED
INTENT OF THESE TAGS IN THE
FIRST PLACE. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT
IS THAT THE ONE TIME PLANTS I DO
NOTHING TO PREVENT DIVERSION
WHEN THE PLANT IS IN THE GROUND
AS STATED. US SB SIX TWENTY TWO
UPDATES THE INDIVIDUAL PLANT
TAKE REQUIREMENT BY REMOVING THE
MANDATE THAT THE TIDE BE AFFIXED
TO THE BASE OF EACH CANNABIS
PLANT. AND INSTEAD AUTHORIZES
THE DEPARTMENT TO ESTABLISH
ALTERNATIVE MECHANISMS TO ENSURE
LICENSE CANNABIS IS PROPERLY
TRACKED AND TRACED THROUGHOUT
THE SUPPLY CHAIN. THIS IS A
COMMON SENSE BILL THAT WILL SAVE
POTENTIALLY TENS OF MILLION
DOLLARS TO THE STATE.
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE THE
CANNABIS INDUSTRY'S
ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT WHILE
IMPROVING THE OPERATIONAL
EFFICIENCY OF CANVAS FARMS.
THESE REASONS CALCRAFT STRONGLY
ENCOURAGES YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS
BILL TODAY. I'M ALSO PROUD TO

TWO WHICH WOULD REDUCE.
UNNECESSARY SINGLE USE PLASTICS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY BEING
PRODUCED IN CALIFORNIA'S
CANNABIS. CULTIVATION SYSTEM THE
LAW REQUIRES THE SINGLE USE
PLASTIC PLANT TAGS AFFIXED TO
THE BASE OF EACH CANNABIS PLANT
FORTY THREE MILLION OF THE
SINGLE USE TAGS WERE ISSUED LAST
YEAR. OF THE CANNABIS PLANTS ARE
ALSO REQUIRED TO HAVE A DIGITAL
TAG WHICH ESSENTIALLY NEGATES
THE USE OF PLASTIC TAG- SO
LIMITING THE MANDATE. WOULD
DRAMATICALLY CUT SINGLE USE

MISTER. OKAY NO OTHER AUTHORS IN
THE ROOM CENTER EGGMAN WOULD YOU
LIKE TO PRESENT. AND CENTER
EGGMAN WILL BE PRESENTING ITEM
NUMBER SIX SENATE BILL SEVEN SIX
SIX. SOCIAL WORKERS.
PLEASE PROCEED IN READING. THANK
YOU. AND YOU ALL MAY HAVE HEARD
ME MENTION FROM TIME TO TIME
THAT I'M A SOCIAL WORKER- AND
WHEN YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE
HEARD ME MENTION FROM TIME TO
TIME IS THAT SOCIAL WORKERS
DON'T HAVE TITLE PROTECTION.
MEANING THAT PEOPLE USE IT AS A
DESCRIPTOR VERSES A PROFESSION
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE SPENT A
LIFETIME DEVELOPING OUR- OUR
PROFESSION AND IT'S BEEN AROUND
FOR WELL OVER A HUNDRED YEARS. I
STARTED MAKING ADAMS AT THE TURN
OF THE CENTURY WHEN. THE THE ON
THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE WAS ALSO
REALLY HAD CAME INTO THE
PROFESSIONALIZATION AT THAT
TIME- SO THIS WOULD SAY AND MANY
OF OUR THAT THAT SOCIAL WORKERS
NOT DESCRIPTIVE IT IS A
PROFESSION. AND THAT IN ORDER TO
CALL SOMEBODY A SOCIAL WORKER
THEY HAVE TO HAVE THAT TITLE IN
MANY OF OUR AGENCIES THEY USE
THE TERM SOCIAL WORKER AS A
DESCRIPTOR. AND PEOPLE HAVE THAT
JOB WHO MAYBE HAVE A DEGREE IN
SPANISH A DEGREE IN ENGLISH OR
WHATEVER ELSE BUT THEY'RE GIVEN
A JOB WITH THE TITLE AS A SOCIAL
WORKER. SO WHEN OFTENTIMES WE
YOU KNOW AND CERTAINLY NO DURING
THE PANDEMIC SOCIAL ASSEMBLY
STUDENT AT BREACHING OR CALLING
OUT TO HIM NOW FOR A LOT OF
HELP. AND SO AS A PROFESSION
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE
OF IS THAT WHEN WE ACTUALLY
IDENTIFY SOMEONE AS A SOCIAL
WORKER THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE
PROFESSION. IS A TWO YEAR
MASTER'S DEGREE OR A THREE YEAR
DEPENDING WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT
OF HOURS THAT HAVE TO BE-
ATTAINED DURING THAT TIME UNDER
SOMEBODY ELSE WHO ALREADY HAS AN
MSW DEGREE IF SOMEONE CAN GET
LICENSE LATER AN LCSW. BUT THE
MASTER'S DEGREE IS A TERMINAL
DEGREE FOR AN MSW IS RECOGNIZED
AROUND THE WORLD- AND MANY-
AGENCIES ACTUALLY CALL FOR IT
LIKE IN THE- IN OUR PRISON
SYSTEM IN OUR HOSPITAL SYSTEM.
HAVE TO HAVE AN MSW. BECAUSE OF
THE DIVERSITY OF THE- DEGREE IT
LOOKS AT THE- MICRO OR THE
INDIVIDUAL IT LOOKS AT THE
GROUP. AND ALSO LOOKS AT
SYSTEMS. WHICH IS. UNLIKE THE
COUNSELING DEGREES PER SE. SO
THIS WOULD SIMPLY SAY. THAT IN
ORDER TO HAVE. BEEN CALLED AND-
SO WORKER YOU HAVE HAVE AN M.
TO. AND WE WOULD ALLOW A FIVE
YEAR- GRANDFATHERING FOR THOSE
PEOPLE WHO MAY ALREADY HAVE A
JOB AS A SOCIAL WORKER TO BE
ABLE TO GET THEIR- DEGREE-
INDOOR. THE AGENCY TO BE ABLE TO
CHANGE OF THESE ARE CASE
MANAGERS OR THESE. NAME BESIDES
CALLING THEM A SOCIAL WORKER.
WHY YOU MIGHT SAY JUST BECAUSE
YOU KNOW WHEN PEOPLE COME SHOOT
FOR SOCIAL ROUTED THIS OR DID
THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. THE PROFESSION AS
IT WAS INTENDED TO BE. AND WITH
ME TODAY I HAVE REBEKAH GONZALEZ
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAPTER OF THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL WORKERS.
THIS IS THOSE PEOPLE PLEASE
PROCEED. OKAY MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS MY NAME IS REBECCA
GONZALEZ AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND
POLITICAL AFFAIRS FOR THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL
WORKERS CALIFORNIA CHAPTER. WE
REPRESENT SOCIAL WORKERS WITH A
SOCIAL WORK. DEGREE FROM AN
ACCREDITED SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
AND I SW THE LARGEST SOCIAL WORK
ORGANIZATION IN THE WORLD. WE
REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY A
HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND MEMBERS
NATIONALLY AND WE HAVE FIFTY SIX
CHAPTERS. WE STRIVE TO ADVANCE
THE QUALITY OF SOCIAL WORK
PRACTICE AND TO PROMOTE THE
UNITY AND RECOGNITION OF THE
PROFESSION. TITLE PROTECTION FOR
SOCIAL WORKERS HAS BEEN A
PRIORITY OF ANY S. W. CALIFORNIA
FOR MANY YEARS AND WE ARE THE
SPONSOR OF THE SPELL. WE BELIEVE
SB SEVEN SIX SIX TO BE PASSED
FOR SEVERAL KEY REASONS WHY.
SOCIAL WORKERS A PROFESSION AS
THE SEGMENTS THAT THAT HAS
EXISTED FOR OVER A HUNDRED YEARS
OUR PROFESSION IS COMMONLY
DEFINED AS A VOCATION. FOUNDED
UPON SPECIALIZED EDUCATIONAL
TRAINING THE MAIN MILESTONES
WHICH MARK AN OCCUPATION BEING
IDENTIFIED AS A PROFESSION ARE
THAT. IT IS A FULL TIME
OCCUPATION THE FIRST TRAINING
WAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. FIRST THE
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED. THE FIRST LOCALIST
ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED
AND THE FIRST NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN
ESTABLISHED. IN ADDITION THE
PROFESSION HAS ESTABLISHED AND
FOLLOWS A CODE OF PROFESSIONAL
ETHICS. THE SOCIAL WORK
PROFESSION MEETS ALL OF THESE
CRITERIA IN CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY
HAS TWENTY FOUR ACCREDITED. CSU
UC AND PRIVATE PROGRAMS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. LIKE OTHER
PROFESSIONAL HOW TO PROTECTIONS
SUCH AS REALTORS NURSES PHYSICAL
THERAPISTS AND DOCTORS SOCIAL
WORKERS IT IS A PROFESSION AND
SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS SUCH.
SECONDLY WITHOUT HOW TO
PROTECTION FOR SOCIAL WORKERS.
WE BELIEVE BOTH CONSUMERS AND
THE PROFESSIONAL WILL BE HARMED
I CONSUMER SHOULD BE CONFIDENT
THAT THEIR SOCIAL WORKER IS
FULLY TRAINED AND EDUCATED. THIS
BILL WILL PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM
MISREPRESENTATION BY GUARANTEED.
THAT THEIR SOCIAL WORKER HAS THE
TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROVIDED
BY A DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK.
CONFUSION OVER A TITLE CAN BE
QUITE SERIOUS BECAUSE SOCIAL
WORKERS IMPACT THE LIVES OF.
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN IN
DRAMATIC WAYS. NATIONAL SOCIAL
WORK ARE SO. EDUC AND TRAINED TO
INTERVENE IN LIFE THREATENING
SITUATIONS SUCH AS THE B. USE OF
A CHILD OR PROTECTING THE
ELDERLY DISABLED. FOR THESE
REASONS THE TITLE MUST NOT BE
REPRESENTED. IN ADDITION WHEN
COMPLAINTS ARE MADE AGAINST
SOCIAL WORKERS TO PROGRAM
ADMINISTRATORS POLICY MAKERS OF
THE MEDIA. THERE IS NO MECHANISM
TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THOSE WHO
HAVE ATTAINED THE DEGREE. AND
THE TITLE AND THOSE WHO HAVE NOT
THIS IS DETRIMENTAL TO THE
PUBLIC A PROFESSION AND
CONSUMERS LASTLY RESTRICTING THE
TITLE OF SOCIAL WORKER TODAY
AGREED SOCIAL WORKERS. ELEVATES
AND VALUES THE PROFESSION IN THE
YEARS OF STUDY SPENT GETTING A
SOCIAL WORK EDUCATION SOCIAL
WORKERS ARE ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH
SAFETY AND WELL BEING A SHOULD
BE UPLIFTED IN VALUE FOR THEIR
CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR SOCIETY.
I'M THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS HAVE
SOME CONCERNS THAT EMPLOYERS MAY
DROP THE SOCIAL WORK KIND OF
COMPLETELY AND UTILIZED IN THEIR
JOB TITLES WELL THIS IS NOT OUR
FIRST CHOICE IT IS AN ACCEPTABLE
CHOICE BECAUSE WE ARE MORE
CONCERNED WITH THE MISUSE OF THE
TITLE. AND THE FACT THE BILL
DOESN'T EVEN SAY THAT YOU HAVE
TO USE THE SOCIAL WORK TITLE FOR
A SOCIAL WORKER WITH A DEGREE.
WE HAVE ALSO HEARD CONCERNS THAT
THIS COULD IMPACT THE WORKFORCE
AND SOCIAL WORKERS WILL NOT
APPLY FOR JOBS. THAT DO NOT HAVE
A SOCIAL WORK TITLE OR THAT IT
WILL BE HARDER TO RECRUIT FOR
POSITIONS. CURRENTLY SOCIAL
WORKERS APPLY FOR JOBS THAT THEY
QUALIFY FOR. AND EVEN IF IT'S
CALLED CHILD WELFARE WORKER
PROTECTIVE SERVICES WORKER X.
CETERA- AND AS WAS STATED SOME
COUNTIES ALREADY USE GENERIC
TITLES ANOTHER CONCERN THAT-
IRAN'S COUNTY IT RUNS COUNTER TO
COUNTIES EFFORTS TO BUILD
DIVERSITY EQUITY INCLUSION- OUR
RESPONSE IS THAT SB SEVEN SIX
SIX. IS NOT AN EMPLOYMENT ACT
AND WE ARE NOT TELLING COUNTIES
WHO WERE HIRED. WHO WHO TO HIRE
WE'RE NOT SAYING YOU CAN ONLY
HIGHER DEGREES SOCIAL WORKERS.
AND SOCIAL WORKERS WE VALUE
THOSE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE AND
OFTEN WORK WITH THEM TEAMS IN
ADDITION SOCIAL WORKERS ARE VERY
DIVERSE PROFESSION. OVERALL
FORTY ONE STATES HAVE TITLE
PROTECTION FOR SOCIAL WORKERS
AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY.
PROBLEMS OR. CHALLENGES TO THE
STATUTES ONCE THEY HAVE PAST. IN
CONCLUSION AS A- HAS A RIGHT TO
KNOW THE- ARE BEING SIR BY
PROFESSIONALS. WORKER WHO'S
EXPERTLY TRAINED AND FOLLOWS A
CODE OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS AND
CAN BE OBTAINED BY PROTECTING
THE SOCIAL WORK TITLE. THANK YOU
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN

SIR. THIS IS A CRITICAL WOULD
REDUCE DISPROPORTION AUDI AND
INCREASE EQUITY IN OUR SYSTEMS.
THERE IS A SEVERE SHORTAGE OF
DEGREE IN SOCIAL WORK
PROFESSIONALS OF THE TYPE THAT
THIS BILL WOULD AFFECT. OUR
SCHOOLS OF SOCIAL WORK ARE
HEAVILY IMPACTED THEY TURN AWAY
MANY APPLICANTS WHO ARE HIGHLY
QUALIFIED EVERY YEAR WE HAVE
WORKED WITH THE BILL'S SPONSORS
TRY TO ADDRESS THIS. BY
ACHIEVING A THIRTY MILLION
DOLLAR ALLOTMENT OVER TWO YEARS
AND LAST YEAR'S BUDGET. THIS
ONLY SERVES A FRACTION OF THE
NEED AND YEAR TWO IS NOW
PROPOSED TO BE DELAYED FOR
IMPLEMENTATION TO EVEN. PROVIDE
WHAT WE CUT. AT A TIME WHEN
WE'RE STRUGGLING TO FILL
POSITIONS PROVIDING SOCIAL WORK
SERVICES THANK THE PEOPLE OF THE
COMBINATION OF EDUCATION AND
EXPERIENCE EVEN IF NOT A SOCIAL
WORK DEGREE. CANNOT DO THAT WORK
WILL PERPETUATE HIGH VACANCIES
IN THOSE POSITIONS AND HEART OFF
AVENUES TO HIGHER EDUCATION LIKE
AN MSW FOR THOSE WE BRING IN
TODAY'S ENTRY LEVEL SOCIAL
WORKERS. WE THINK THAT
ULTIMATELY THIS WILL HARM THE
PROFESSION AS WELL AS OUR
ABILITY TO PROVIDE EXCELLENT
SERVICES TO COMMUNITIES WE DO
TYPICALLY SEE EYE TO EYE WITH
THE AUTHOR AND HER SPONSOR. IN
THIS CASE WE HAVE A DIFFERENT

MY NAME IS MOLLY BY I AM A
LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKER

ALSO THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR
THE ENHANCED IDEAS AND DIEGO
THANK YOU THANK YOU NEXT PLEASE
. MEDICARE THERE ARE NO FURTHER
COMMENTS THANK YOU AT THIS TIME
THANK YOU MODERATOR NOW LET'S
BRING THE ISSUE BACK TO MY
COLLEAGUES ON THE DAIS
COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS FEDERAL HUB FOLLOWED BY
SENATOR NEW LOW. AND SENATOR
ASHBY THANK YOU SENATOR I JUST
WANTED FOR YOU TO BE ABLE TO
CLARIFY THIS IS A PERSON THAT
CAN CALL THEMSELVES A SOCIAL
WORKER UNDER THIS BILL IS
ANYBODY THAT HAS A- DEGREE. OR
THAT THE AMOUNT OF HOURS IS THAT
CORRECT- THE LICENSURE. IT IS AN
MSW DEGREE MASTER SOCIAL DEGREE
OKAY AND- IF THEY ARE TRYING TO
BE- UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE DOES
NOT COUNT FOR ANYTHING CORRECT
IF THEY STUDIED SOCIAL SERVICES
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT RIGHT.
OKAY AND- I ALSO WANT TO ASK
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR TOTAL
PROTECTION FOR BACHELORS LEVEL
ONLY MASTER'S LEVEL OKAY
PERFECT- AND THESE INDIVIDUALS
WHEN WE- YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY HAVE
INDIVIDUALS WORKING AT THE
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND SO
FORTH- COULD YOU DESCRIBE A
LITTLE BIT OF THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A CASE WORKER. I AND
WHAT A SOCIAL WORKER POTENTIALLY
DOES. A CASE WORKER OF
OFTENTIMES AND AN ENTRY LEVEL
PERSON WHO WILL HANDLE. CASES AS
THEY COME AND SAY IT'S OF A
HOMELESS SHELTER YOU MIGHT BE
ASSIGNED A SO MANY CASES YOU'LL
BE HELPING THAT PERSON WITH
RESOURCES YOU'LL BE HELPING THAT
PERSON POTENTIALLY WITH TRYING
TO FIND HOUSING WITH TRYING TO
FIND TRANSPORTATION. A SOCIAL
WORKER THEN WOULD PROBABLY BE
THE SUPERVISOR OF SAID PROGRAM
PROVIDE SUPERVISION FOR THOSE
FOLKS. AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO
PROVIDE FOR A HIGHER LEVEL OF
COUNSELING PERHAPS GRANT
APPLICATIONS- AND IN
COORDINATION WITH WITH OTHER
FACILITIES- COULD BE THERAPY
THERE COULD BE A WIDE RANGE OF
THINGS THAT FALL UNDER. THE
TITLE OF A SOCIAL WORKER OKAY
AND THEN ODD WITH THE OPPOSITION
FROM LMF TEAS- AND OFTEN. IF
THESE TWO. LET'S SAY PER. KIND
OF OVERLAP AT LEAST IN
JURISDICTION OF SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT THEY DO RATE- WOULD
YOU BE ABLE TO LEVERAGE AS TO
HOW IT DOES NOT NECESSARILY
HARM- ANY EFFORTS REGARDING
ELEMENT HE'S- BUT THIS ISN'T A
TOTAL PROTECTION FOR ELEMENT
HE'S WHICH IS A LICENSED
PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR PEOPLE
COULD BE CALLED CANCERS THAT
COULD BE. A TITLE THAT THE
COUNTIES ARE- AGENCIES COULD.
YOU KNOW USE INSTEAD UP SOCIAL
WORKER. WE'RE JUST SAYING SOCIAL
WORK IS A- PROFESSIONAL DEGREE-
WHICH IS NOT AT THE DID THE
EDUCATION IS DIFFERENT. RIGHT IT
IS A DIFFERENT FOCUS IT IS A
DIFFERENT FOCUS ON SYSTEMS LEVEL
IS A DIFFERENT FOCUS ON
UNDERSTANDING ORGANIZATIONS.
THAT HAD AN MFT DOES NOT HAVE
THERE'S NOT TAUGHT IN YOUR
PROFESSIONAL DEGREE ALL RIGHT
AND- SENATOR I DO SUPPORT THIS
BILL- I WILL MOVE WHEN.
APPROPRIATE AND I DO JUST ONE
HIGHLIGHT AS A PERSON WHOSE
SISTER IS A SOCIAL WORKER WITH
THE MSW AND THAT DISTRICT
DIRECTOR WHO IS A LICENSED
MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST-
WE HAD A CONVERSATION AND IT'S
VERY MUCH. NEEDED THERE'S A LOT
OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS THAT
ARE TRYING TO HIRE INDIVIDUALS
LIVED EXPERIENCES THAT REALLY
DON'T HAVE ANY EDUCATION. AND IN
AND AROUND THE SOCIAL WORK
PROFESSION IN FACT THEY'RE MORE
LIKE LIFE COACHES OR SOMEBODY
WHO GOT LUCKY ON THEIR OWN.
LIVED EXPERIENCE AND OR TRYING
TO GET BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
BUT- TO YOUR POINT THERE IS A
STANDARD AND THE LEVEL OF AFFIX
APPLY TO SOCIAL WORKERS AND
OBVIOUSLY LICENSE HERE TO FAMILY
THERAPIST- THAT NEEDS TO BE
REINFORCED- AND SO I DO SUPPORT
THIS BILL AND- CHAIR AYE I WILL.
MOVE THIS. BILL IF AND WHEN
NECESSARY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SURESH BEING. THANK YOU. I
ACTUALLY JUST HAVE A COUPLE
QUESTIONS THAT I JUST DIDN'T I
AM NOT AN EXPERT AND THERE ARE
SO MANY. DIFFERENT THAT I SEE
WHY YOU'RE DOING THE BILL
BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY
DIFFERENT LABELS AND TITLES AND-
AND I KNOW IT THAT I HAVE SOME
SYMPATHY FOR THAT COUNTIES
BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE REALLY
STRUGGLING TO FILL THIS BUT- I
DO. A LEAN YOUR WAY THAT IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW
WHICH FOLKS ARE ACTUALLY SOCIAL
WORKERS IN WHICH PEOPLE ARE
DOING. SOCIAL SERVICES. BUT ARE
NOT NECESSARILY SOCIAL WORKER
SO. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS- JUST
MOSTLY ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION. ONE
IS THAT I THINK I SAW THIS RIGHT
WAS A FIVE YEAR GRACE PERIOD
THAT'S CORRECT. IF THAT'S WHAT
WHAT IF THAT'S NOT QUITE LONG
ENOUGH FOR RESEARCH STRATEGY FOR
THAT ON THE CALF TO HELP THE
COUNTIES ARE TO HELP. WELL
REALLY THE COUNTIES ARE THE ONES
I'M THINKING ABOUT. IS THERE- DO
YOU THINK THAT'S LONG ENOUGH
HAVE HAVE YOU HEARD FROM. THEM
ABOUT THAT WELL AN MSW DEGREES
TWO YEARS. RIGHT SO WE'RE GIVING
PEOPLE FIVE YEAR GRACE PERIOD SO
THAT'S EITHER TIME FOR SOMEBODY.
TO GET AN MSW DEGREE AND ONE OF
THE THINGS WE WORKED ON THROUGH
THE BUDGET PROCESS. IS A
POSSIBILITY FOR SOMEBODY WITH A
LOT OF EXPERIENCE TO BE ABLE TO
GET. AN MSW IT BORN HERE IF THEY
HAVE CORRESPONDING ALREADY
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND AND OR
EXPERIENCE THAT MEETS THE
CRITERIA. SO THAT IS AN OPTION
ANOTHER OPTION IS AGAIN I THINK
YOU HEARD FROM THE OPPOSITION
THAT THERE IS GREAT VALUE. IN
THE WORD SOCIAL WORKER WHAT WE
FEEL LIKE WE CREATED THAT VALUE
BY THE PROFESSION. AND SO WE'RE
NOT SAYING YOU CAN'T YOU HAVE TO
LET PEOPLE GO WE'RE SAYING YOU
JUST CAN'T CALL THEM. A SOCIAL
WORKER I SEE SO THE INTENT OF
THE FIVE YEARS IS ACTUALLY TO
GET PEOPLE WHO ARE USING THE
TITLE BUT COULD. ACTUALLY ATTAIN
IT BY GOING TO A TWO YEAR
PROGRAM TO DO SO DURING THAT
PERIOD. WHICH KIND OF BEGS MY
NEXT QUESTION WHICH IS I KNOW AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL WE DO- OFTEN
PROVIDE PROGRAMS TO TRY TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE. HOW DOES THIS
HOW DOES YOUR BILL INTERFACE
WITH. THOSE EDUCATIONAL EFFORTS
WOULD. YOU SEE I GUESS IN THE
FIVE YEARS THEY WOULD REALLY BE
PUSHING PEOPLE FUNNELING FOLKS
IN BUT BEYOND THAT. HOW WOULD
THAT HOW WOULD YOUR BILL
INTERFACE WITH FOLKS WHO ARE
SORT OF IN THE PIPELINE. WITH
THE END GOAL OF BECOMING A
SOCIAL WORKER GOING THROUGH
THOSE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. I
DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND YOUR
QUESTION I MEAN. GOING THROUGH
AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM TO GET M.
S. W. I'M WORRIED THAT. WE HAVE
THIS PIE THAT IT'S NOT EASY FOR
EVERYONE TO GET THROUGH THE
BACHELOR'S PROGRAM AND THEN INTO
THE- MASTER'S PROGRAM FOR SOME
PEOPLE THAT'S A LONG. JOURNEY
AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT FUNDING
CONTINUING TO HELP PEOPLE. WHO
ARE PARTICULARLY IN COMMUNITIES-
THAT PROBABLY NEED SOCIAL
WORKERS THE MOST AND ALSO.
PROBABLY WOULD BE HAVING TO WALK
FOLKS ALL THE WAY FROM A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE THROUGH A-
BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN INTO AN MSW
PROGRAM THAT THAT PIPELINE MIGHT
BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED BY THE
BILL. AND I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT IT'S NOT OKAY I THINK IF
THE REVERSE OF YOUR INTENT I'M
JUST ASKING HOW THOSE TWO THINGS
WILL INTERPLAY BUT IT SOUNDS TO
ME LIKE YOU'RE ASKING. IF IT'S
OKAY TO CALL SOMEBODY WITH NO
THAT EUROPE ARE. THAT YOU'RE
PRESUMING THAT THERE ARE
CURRENTLY PEOPLE THAT RIGHT NOW
WITH NO EDUCATION. WHO COUNTIES
ARE HIRING AT A MASTER'S LEVEL.
I KNOW NO AT THE COUNTIES HAVE A
LOT OF PROGRAMS IN PLACE WHERE
THEY HIRE SOMEBODY AT A LOWER
LEVEL WITH THE INTENT OF MOVING
THEM TO THE SOCIAL WORKER LEVEL.
WOULD YOUR BILL HELP ACHIEVE
THAT GOAL BY TRYING TO ADD
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES THE
COUNTIES TO MOVE PEOPLE FROM. A
NON SOCIAL WORKER ROLE INTO A
SOCIAL WORKER ROLE THIS BILL HAS
NO. NONE OF THOSE FISCAL
IMPLICATIONS HOW COME BUT I CAN
TELL YOU FOR THE LAST COUPLE
YEARS. AND THROUGH BUDGET SUB
THREE WHICH I SAID ON YEAH- WE
HAVE AND THROUGH THE
ADMINISTRATION. WE HAVE HAD A
HUGE FOCUS ON WORKFORCE- IN IN
IN THE- BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.
UPDATE WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR
THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER LARGE
COMPONENT IN THERE FOR WORK-
DURING MY TIME AS FACULTY AT SAC
STATE IN THE DIVISION OF SOCIAL
WORK- WE WORKED WITH THE MHSAA.
WITH SOME OF THE WET FUNDS OR
THE FANS FOR TO GET PEOPLE AND
DID ACTUALLY DID. I DID A
PROGRAM THREE PROGRAMS IN
REDDING- ONE UP IN THE FOOTHILLS
WE REALLY GO OUT TO THE
COMMUNITY AND TRY TO PROVIDE
THAT EDUCATION WHERE STUDENTS
ARE SO THOSE FINDINGS WILL
CONTINUE ALONG. SO I DON'T I
DON'T SEE THOSE A SERVICE
CONNECTED. OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
AND THE- FOR THIS BILL IS SIMPLY
JUST. YOU HAVE AN M. S. W. TO
CALL YOURSELF A SOCIAL WORKER OR
YOU CHANGE THE DESCRIPTOR FOR
THE JOB TITLE. TO BE A COUNSELOR
OR SOMETHING ELSE I GUESS I
COULD SEE AS A NEXT STEP NEEDING
TO POUR MORE MONEY INTO THAT
PIPELINE TO MOVE PEOPLE. MORE TO
THAT MSW DEGREE. I GUESS THAT'S
MAYBE. THANK YOU THOUGH. THANK
SENATOR I JUST. CENTER I THINK
YOU MAY THE POINT. THIS BILL
THE- CALL FOR ANYONE WHO'S
CURRENTLY PERFORMING. SOCIAL
SERVICE WORK AT THE COUNTY LEVEL
OR ANY OTHER LEVEL. TO LOSE
THEIR JOBS IS NOT. IF YOU HAVE A
WAGE AND BENEFIT SCHEDULED AS
POSITION TITLES. THEY MAY NOT.
BE LISTED AS A SOCIAL WORKER.
THEY MAY BE LISTED AS A SOCIAL
SERVICE WORKER. OR SOME OTHER
TITLE AND INNOVATIVE TITLE THAT
THE COUNTY OR THE OTHER AGENCIES
COME UP WITH. BUT NOBODY LOSES A
JOB WHICH IS WHY I'M HAVING A
DIFFICULTY CONNECTING THIS BILL.
TO THE WORK FORCE SHORTAGE WHICH
IS ANOTHER ISSUE CORRECT- WHICH
THIS BILL DOESN'T SEEM. TO TOUCH
TOUCH WORK WORSEN CORRECT. OKAY
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ANY LOW.
THANK YOU- IF THE FIRST LAW
CENTER EGGMAN IT APPEARS THIS IS
PROSPECTIVE. THAT IS A TAKES A
FACT- FIRST OF NEXT YEAR. SO
ANYBODY WHO'S WORKING- AS A
SOCIAL WORKER NOW. NOT UNDER THE
QUALIFICATIONS YOU CALL FOR CAN
STILL BE CALLED A SOCIAL WORKER
UP UNTIL THE TWENTY NINETEEN TO
TWENTY TWENTY NO THAT'S THE FIVE
YEAR TO FIVE YEARS- AND- OUT
WITHIN. THE CLASSIFICATION THERE
ARE- SEVERAL- MORE SPECIFIC
CLASSIFICATIONS MSW LCSW. WHAT
IS A CSW STAND FOR THAT SOMEBODY
WHO HAS AN MSW IS GETTING IN THE
PROCESS OF GETTING THEIR HOURS
FOR THEIR LICENSURE BUT HAVEN'T
RECEIVED THEIR LICENSURE YET
OKAY. SO IN MY PROFESSION THAT
IS. WHERE I FIRST WORKED AND
WHAT I WAS TRAINED FOR
ACCOUNTING- ANYBODY CAN BE
CALLED AN ACCOUNTANT. RIGHT BUT
IT IS THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND
PASSING A TEST THAT YOU BECOME A
CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT. I
DON'T KNOW IF THE CLASSIFICATION
STILL EXIST BUT THE LEAST THERE
WAS A PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT WHICH
WAS BASED ON- A- LOWER SET OF
STANDARDS AND CERTIFIED. PUBLIC
ACCOUNTANT SO ANYBODY COULD BE
AN ACCOUNTANT BUT THEN THE- FOR
THE QUALIFICATION PROFESSIONALLY
WAS- CPA AS AN EXAMPLE- WHY
WOULD NOT THAT APPLY FOR SOCIAL
WORKER WHEREBY BE SOCIAL WORKER
COMMA. AND THEN MSW LCSW AT
CETERA. IS THERE NOT VALUE IN
THAT. THE OF A SOCIAL THEN PUT
COMMA. MASTERS AND- IN SPEECH I
MEAN WE KNOW MSL. MASTERS AND SO
WORK IN OTHER WORDS QUALIFIED
THE DESCRIPTOR SOCIAL WORK BY-
WHAT EDUCATION- ACHIEVEMENTS-
EDUCATION- STATUS THEY'VE
ACHIEVED- WHICH IS BASICALLY
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. BUT
JUST CALLING A SOCIAL WORKER.
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT MY POINT. SO
YOU'RE ASKING THE DESCRIPTOR TO
STAY THE SAME BUT A COMMA I'M
NOT ASKING I'M JUST SAYING WHY
WHY WOULDN'T THAT SATISFY WHAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR- TO BE CALLED
SOCIAL WORKER WITH THE
QUALIFICATION OF THE HIGHER
STATUS BASED UPON EDUCATION
ACHIEVEMENT. I MEAN THAT'S
CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE COULD
LOOK AT GOING FORWARD I'M STILL
NOT QUITE SURE I A 100%
UNDERSTAND AND I GUESS I MEAN I
GUESS TO YOUR POINT- DOWNEY'S.
ART FULL OF PEOPLE WHO WERE
CALLING THEMSELVES ACCOUNTANTS.
AND PEOPLE ARE AND WHO WANTS TO
BECAUSE I WHO PUT OUT CALLED
ACCOUNT RIGHT FAIRLY EVERYBODY
WANTS BECAUSE NO SHOWER CURTAIN
JUST SEEING IF YOU GET OUR
DEGREE BEFORE YOU CALL YOURSELF
ONE ACCOUNTS ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
GOOD WITH NUMBERS BUT THEY JUST
DON'T HAVE THE PERSONALITY TO
STATUS. RIGHT SO I GET THAT BUT-
I'M I'M ONLY RELATING IT TO THE
HIGHER QUALIFICATION OF
ACCOUNTANTS AND THERE CAN BE
SOCIAL WORKERS BUT THEN A HIGHER
QUALIFICATION OF SOCIAL WORKER
AND I'M JUST WONDERING I'M NOT
SUGGESTING I'M WONDERING WHY.
YOU DIDN'T GO TO THE DESCRIPTOR
OF THE EDUCATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT
IN ADDITION TO THE JOB
DESCRIPTOR. FOCUS ARE NOT ASKING
FOR BATCHES LEVEL ONLY MASTERS
AND GENERALLY IF SOMEBODY IS IN
A LICENSE DEGREE. THAT. WILL BE
THEY'LL THEY'LL HAVE A HIGHER
TITLE. THEN AT BEST SOCIAL
WORKER. IS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE.
CORRECT THE- SMALLWOOD CUEVAS

WANTED TO SORT OF FOLLOW UP ON

RECOGNIZE AND THANK YOU FOR- FOR

IT ALSO SIGNALS. YOU KNOW
ESPECIALLY AREAS OF WORK WHERE
WOMEN HAVE HISTORICALLY SHINE

SPECIALIZATION AND THAT. THAT
CORRELATES WITH- PAY IN WAGES
AND BENEFITS AND THE ACTUAL
SPECIFICITY AND- TECHNIQUE RIGHT
OF THAT PARTICULAR. FIELD SO I
JUST WANT TO SAY HOW IMPORTANT

PLEASE PROCEED SIR WHEN YOU'RE
READY THE CHAIRPERSON FROM US
FAR AS A Q. INTO YEAR AND TAX
ACCEPTING FOR ALL THE WORK ON
THIS BILL UP. GRATEFUL I'M GONNA
BE VERY QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE AT LARGE DOCKET IN
FRONT OF YOU TODAY SB THREE
THREE WOULD ALLOW SMALL FAMILY
CANNABIS FARMERS TO EITHER HIS
THEIR LICENSING FEE IF THEY
DON'T CREDIT GROW CANNABIS IN
THAT PARTICULAR GROWING YEAR OR-
PRO RATE. THEIR FEE BASED OFF OF
WHAT THEIR CROP IS FOR THAT
SPECIFIC GROWING YEAR RIGHT NOW
IF YOU GROW. FOR YOU DON'T YOU
PAY THE SAME FEE. IT GOES A ALL
COMMENTS. THERE'S BEEN THIS
MASSIVE DROP IN THE CANNABIS
MARKET ACROSS CALIFORNIA AND IN
PARTICULAR SMALL FAMILY FARMERS
HAVE BEEN HIT PARTICULARLY HARD.
AND SMALL FAMILY FARMERS ARE
DEFINED OF EITHER GROWING
CANNABIS ON TEN THOUSAND SQUARE
FEET OR AN ACRE OR LESS. YET
EVEN WHEN THERE IS A MASSIVE
DROP IN THE MARKET LIKE WE'RE
SEEING NOW THE STATE EXPECTS HIM
TO PAY THE SAME LICENSE FEE.
THAT LICENSE FEE IS FORTY TO
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR
PER YEAR. NO OTHER AGRICULTURAL
CROP IN THE STATE HAS TO PAY A
LICENSE FEE LIKE THAT LET ALONE
WHEN THEY DON'T DELIVER THEIR
CROP TO MARKET. THIS REGULATION
PAINFUL FREIGHT FOR A LICENSE
GOES AGAINST ALL COMMON SENSE
AND IT'S ONE OF THE DRIVING
FACTORS WHY SO MANY FAMILY
FARMERS ARE GOING OUT OF
BUSINESS. I NEED IT RIGHT HERE
IN STATUS SB EIGHT THREE THREE
WILL GIVE FARMERS THE ABILITY TO
PASS THEIR GROWING WITHOUT
LOSING YEARS AND TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS THE SPENT
TO GET THEIR LICENSE APPROVED.
AND DISABILITY ALREADY EXISTS IN
MANY LOCAL PERMITTING PROGRAMS
AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. MISTER

JEFF. SMITH RESEARCHER MEMBERS
MARK SMITH ON BEHALF OF ORIGINS
COUNCIL WE ARE AN ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING EIGHT
HUNDRED MEMBERS ACROSS. THE
CANNABIS SUPPLY CHAIN BUT MOSTLY
THE SMALL INDEPENDENT LEGACY
CANNABIS FARMERS THAT THE
SENATOR WAS TALKING ABOUT AS WAS
POINTED OUT. OTHER SECTORS OF
AGRICULTURE DON'T HAVE THIS
REQUIREMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO
PAY THIS LICENSING FEE
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT A
CROP COMES TO MARKET. THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT DISADVANTAGE FOR US
AND IT IS A SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS
CHALLENGE PARTICULARLY IN YEARS
LIKE WE'VE HAD LEADING UP TO
THIS ONE WHERE THERE'S BEEN
MAJOR DROUGHT. AND IN SOME CASES
FARMERS WERE ASKED NOT TO PLANT
THINGS WE DON'T HAVE THAT
OPTION. BECAUSE WE GOT TO PAY
THE FEE REGARDLESS SO THEY
PLANT- MANY OF US HAVE BEEN
AFFECTED BY MARKET VOLATILITY
DROUGHT AND FIRE ISSUES OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE WANT TO
THANK THE SENATOR FOR BRINGING
THIS MEASURE FORWARD WE BELIEVE
IT'S COMMONSENSE AND WE ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT TODAY. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH THANK YOU SERVICED

WORK HAS BEEN DONE AND I WILL BE

WILL DIRECT THE COURT REPORTER
BOARD TO REVIEW THE
APPROPRIATENESS OF THE EXAM AND
REVIEW HOW TO DECREASE BARRIERS
TO THOSE WANTING TO TAKE THE
CERTIFIED SHORTHAND REPORTER
EXAM IN ORDER TO INCREASE
WORKFORCE CAPACITY. MEMBERS OF
HUNDREDS THOUSANDS A CASES
HAPPEN EVERY YEAR AND THERE IS
NO COURT RECORD PLEASE CONSIDER
THE NUMBER OF PORTFOLIO LEVEL
PEOPLE WITHOUT FINANCIAL MEANS
OR WITHOUT KEYS TRANSCRIPTS
UNABLE TO APPEAL IN THE EVENT
THAT THE COURT GETS IT WRONG.
ESPECIALLY WHEN CHILDREN ARE
PLACED IN DANGEROUS HOUSEHOLDS.
THIS BILL WILL HELP KEEP THEM
SAFE I UNDERSTAND THERE'S ALSO A
LOT OF CONCERNS AND SO- THIS
BILL IN PARTICULAR DOES INCLUDE
WASTE STRENGTHEN THE PROFESSION.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE AND
SENATE BMP TRYING TO SEE HOW WE
CAN BREAK DOWN THE BARRIERS FOR
CANDIDATES TO PASS THE EXAM WILL
CONTINUE. TO ALLOW ACCESS TO
JUSTICE. WE ALSO THAT THE COURT
REPORTERS ARE THE GOLD STANDARD
WHEN IT COMES TO. OUR RECORDS OF
COURT PROCEEDINGS BUT WE NEED
MORE COURT REPORTERS WHICH WE
DON'T HAVE AT THIS TIME AND
UNTIL WE'RE ABLE TO HAVE COR
REPORT IS AVAILABLE WE MUST TAKE
ACTION TO ENSURE OUR VULNERABLE
VICTIMS. CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
ARE NOT LEFT WITHOUT A RECORD I
KNOW MANY VICTIMS STRUGGLING
EMOTIONALLY FINANCIALLY AND
CONTINUE TO BE DISADVANTAGED.
AND THEIR QUEST FOR JUSTICE DUE
TO LACK OF RECORDS I JOINING ME
HERE TODAY IS CHRISTINE SMITH
POLICY ANALYST WITH THE
CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP TENTA
MYSTIC VIOLENCE. AND OUR BILL
SPONSOR AS WELL AS GLORIA TRONG
ATTORNEY WITH THE FAMILY
VIOLENCE A PALLET PROJECT- WHO
ARE HERE IN SUPPORT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU BEFORE WITNESSES START
THE ANALYSIS THAT'S THIS OUT
PRETTY CLEARLY BUT THIS MEASURE
IS ALREADY BEEN HEARD BY THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. AND AS
THOSE IN THE ROOM. SHOULD KNOW
AND PROBABLY DO THAT COMMITTEES
JURISDICTION PERTAINS TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL THAT
IMPACT THE COURTS. AND THE
AUTHORITY TO EXPAND ELECTRONIC
REPORTING. THAT IS NOT THIS
COMMITTEE THIS COMMITTEE RETAINS
JURISDICTION FOR PUT PROVISIONS
IN THIS MEASURE. THE CHANGE THE
PROFESSION OF COURT REPORTING
AND SPECIFICALLY THE DEAL WITH
LICENSURE CHANGES WITH RESPECT
TO COURT REPORTERS. AND THE
COURT REPORTING OCCUPATION SO
HAVING SAID THAT. PLEASE PROCEED
. GOOD MORNING I THANK YOU FOR
CONSIDERING THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE
MY NAME IS CHRISTINE AND I
REPRESENT THE CALIFORNIA
PARTNERSHIPS AND MUST FINALLY
THAT WE ARE A SUPPORTER OF THE
SPELL AND RESPECTFULLY LIKE TO
THE FAMILY VIOLENCE APPELLATE
PROJECT TO IS THE SPONSOR. OF
THE CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIPS AND
MYSTIC VIOLENCE IS A STATE RIGHT
ORGANIZATION THAT REPRESENTS
OVER THOUSAND SURVIVORS
ADVOCATES ORGANIZATIONS AND
ALLIED INDIVIDUALS. ACROSS THE
STATE. WE BELIEVE THAT BY
COLLECTIVELY WORKING WITH OUR
DIVERSE MEMBERSHIP ADVOCATES AND
STATE POLICYMAKERS BEGIN DEEP IN
THE PROCESS OF HEALING AND
RESTORATION BY IDENTIFYING AND
ADDRESSING THE UNDERLYING AND
CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. ACCESS TO
SPECIAL RECORDS OF CORPORATE. IS
CRITICAL FOR SURVIVORS
UNDERSTAND THIS PROCESS AND
ULTIMATELY THE ORDERS THE COURT
MAKES. IT IS ALSO CRITICAL IN
THE EVENT THAT IN ORDER IS WRONG
OR PLACES THE SURVIVOR OR THEIR
CHILDREN IN DANGER. RIGHT NOW
HAVING AN OFFICIAL RECORD
DEPENDS ON A CERTIFIED COURT
REPORTER IN AVAILABLE AND THE
SURVIVOR EVEN EITHER QUALIFYING
FIRST THE WAIVER. OR HAVING THE
RESOURCES TO PAY FOR AN
EXPENSIVE PRIVATE REPORTER. FOR
MOST SURVIVORS THESE ARE UNSER
MOUNTABLE BARRIERS. THOUSANDS OF
CASES ARE HEARD EACH MONTH IN
FACT WHEN I COUNTY ALONE. AND
FOR MANY MANY OF THEM THERE IS
NO TRANSCRIPT FOR WHAT IS THAT
AND- WHAT THE JUDGE CONSIDERED
OR WHY ORDERS WERE MADE. THIS IS
ENORMOUSLY IMPACTFUL EVEN IN
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE AN APPEAL IS
NOT ON THE HORIZON. FOR AN
EXAMPLE FOR EXAMPLE A JUDGE
MIGHT MAKE FINDINGS THAT ARE
STREAMED PARTY CONTINUES TO
POSSESS FIREARMS DESPITE BEING
ORDERED TO RELINQUISH THEM. THAT
COULD HELP LAW ENFORCEMENT
LOCATE AND REMOVE THE WEAPONS.
THESE FINANCE CAN ALSO PROVIDE
CRUCIAL CONTACTS FOR A JUDGE
CONSIDERING THE RENEWAL OF THE
RESTRAINING ORDER. I CAN BE
EXTREMELY RELEVANT FOR THE NEXT
JUDGE WHO'S ASKED TO MAKE
CUSTODY ORDERS FOR THE PARTY'S
CHILDREN OR IN OUR ANNUAL.
WITHOUT OFFICIAL RECORDS OF
PRIOR HEARINGS OR TRIALS IT IS
NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR FREAKER
JUDGES. TO HAVE THE FULL CONTEXT
IN THESE CASE AS- WHICH HINDERS
THEIR ABILITY TO MAKE
COMPREHENSIVE ORDERS. THAT KEEP
CHILDREN AND SURVIVORS SAFE-
TRYING TO RECORDS OF COURT
PROCEEDINGS ARE NOT NEW.
STANDARDS AND PROCESS THESE
ALREADY EXIST IN THE STATE WE
CAN BE LEVERAGED TO MEET THE
CURRENT NEEDS. AND ULTIMATELY
BETTER SERVE WITH AGAINST AND
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. THIS BILL
IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CALIFORNIA
TO EMBRACE A TECHNOLOGY
SOLUTION. TO A STATEWIDE ISSUE
WE SHOULD NOT MISS THE
OPPORTUNITY. ESPECIALLY AFTER I
BOTH. THANK YOU NEXT PLEASE.
GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS
CONNECTICUT ALINA TRONG AND THAT
ATTORNEY WITH THE FAMILY
VIOLENCE APPELLATE PROJECT PROUD
CO SPONSOR OF SB SIX SIX TWO.
ALONG WITH THE LEGAL AID
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA. I'M
HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF OVER
THIRTY FIVE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AND LEGAL SERVICES ORGANIZATIONS
URGE YOUR AYE VOTE ON THIS BILL.
SINCE TWENTY EIGHTEEN WHEN THE
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT
DECLARED THE INDIGENT LITIGANTS
HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREE CAR PARK-
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED FOR LOW AND
MODERATE INCOME. PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA COURT. DESPITE TENS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AN
INCREASE ANNUAL FUNDING FOR
COURT REPORTERS. ARE STILL NOT
ENOUGH CERTIFIED SHORTHAND
REPORTER IS IN COURT. THE RESULT
IS THAT THOUSANDS OF HEARINGS
HAPPEN EVERY DAY WITHOUT ANY
RECORD. PEOPLE LEAVE COURT
WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE
COURT DECIDED OR WHY THEY
DECIDED IT. AND WITHOUT A RECORD
DANGEROUS OR WRONG DECISIONS
CANNOT BE APPEALED. THIS IS A
CRISIS AFFECTING PEOPLE IN ALL
WALKS OF LIFE. FOR INSTANCE NO
COURT REPORTER IS REQUIRED WHEN
ELDERLY PERSONS WHO IS A
CONTRACTOR WHO DEFRAUDED. I WANT
TO SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVOR SIX
THE CIVIL PROTECTION ORDER
AGAINST TO SERVE A SUPERVISOR
WHO ASSAULTED HER. OR WHEN A
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVOR SEEKS
A RESTRAINING ORDER. OR EVEN
WHEN AN UNACCOMPANIED MINOR
NEEDS THE COURT TO FIND SHE WAS
ABUSED IN HER HOME COUNTRY IN
ORDER TO APPLY FOR SPECIAL
IMMIGRANT JUVENILE STATUS WITH
USCIS. WHEN A PARENT SIX CUSTODY
VISITATION SPOUSAL OR CHILD
SUPPORT ORDERS. AND NEARLY
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT PEOPLE RELY
ON COURTS TO PROTECT THEIR
RIGHTS FOR. IF THESE PEOPLE ARE
LOW INCOME AND FILE A REQUEST
FOR A COURT REPORTER. THEY WILL
FACE THE TRAUMA OF COMING BACK
TO COURT MONTH AFTER MONTH.
UNTIL A COURT REPORTERS
AVAILABLE. HOWEVER IN THE SAME
COURTROOM AND AFFECTION
DEFENDANT. WILL GET AN
ELECTRONIC RECORDING THAT CAN BE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SAFETY
AND ABUSE. FOR SECURITY AND
HOMELESSNESS. RENT SENSE IN THE
CASE OF A MASSIVE LOTUS OUR
CLIENT WAS WRONGLY DENIED THE
RIGHT TO USE A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
ADDICTION DEFENSE FOR ACTS OF
ABUSE AGAINST HER. BECAUSE HER
TRIAL WAS ELECTRONICALLY
RECORDING. WE WERE ABLE TO
SUCCESSFULLY APPEALED HER
EVICTION. EVERYONE DESERVES A
RECORD LIKE WITH LOTUS. WE ARE
IN A CRISIS THAT INTERACTION
NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY
OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. JUST
REMIND EVERYBODY ONCE AGAIN
WE'RE NOT DECIDING THE
ELECTRONIC RECORDING ISSUE IN
THIS COMMITTEE IT WAS NOT
COVERED IN THE ANALYSIS AND WE
DIDN'T TO. WE'RE NOT DOING A
JUDICIARY JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
REDO SO WHICH PROCEDURE GOOD
MORNING SENATORS MY NAME IS GREG
WAS YOUR PRESIDENT OF THE
CONSUMER ATTORNEYS OF CALIFORNIA
AND WE SUPPORT THIS. THANK YOU.
NEXT PLEASE IN MORNING MISTER
TURNER NUMBERS OF EVA SIMON ON
BEHALF OF THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL
OF CALIFORNIA IN SUPPORT. THANK
YOU NEXT PLEASE RETURN MEMBERS
MIKE BELOW ON BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA JUDGES ASSOCIATION
CALIFORNIA DEFENSE COUNSEL IN
SUPPORT THANK YOU. OKAY HERE'S
WE'VE EXHAUSTED THE SUPPORT
WITNESSES ANY LEAD OPPOSITION
WITNESSES IN THE HEARING ROOM.
GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
CENTER FOR ON BEHALF OF SEIU
CALIFORNIA. I UNDERSTAND THE
JURISDICTION OF THIS COMMITTEE
IS LIMITED TO PROVISIONAL
LICENSE- BUT BECAUSE OF THE-
PROPONENTS ADDRESS THE ARE I
WOULD LIKE TO ALSO ADDRESS THE
ARE. OUT WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE
TWICE THE NUMBER OF COURT
REPORTERS AND JUDGES SO THIS
PROBLEM IS IN A COURT REPORTER
SHORTAGE IT'S A RECRUITMENT AND
RETENTION PROBLEMS THAT'S WHY
THE LEGISLATURE ALLOCATED
FUNDING TO SPECIFICALLY HELP
COURTS RECRUITING RETAIN COURT
REPORTERS. YET DESPITE THIS MANY
COURTS HAVE REFUSED TO SPEND THE
FUNDING. THERE BEEN SEVERAL
TIMES IN THE PAST EXPAND THE R.
BUT THE LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZED
THAT IN AN ACCURATE TRANSCRIPT
IS NO BETTER THAN A TREND NO
TRANSCRIPT AT ALL. THE TENS OF
THIS BILL IS TO HELP
INVESTIGATORS VICTIMS WHO COULD
NOT AFFORD A COURT REPORTER. BUT
THE COST OF TRANSCRIBING AN
ELECTRONIC RECORDING IS 20% MORE
THAN HIRING A STENOGRAPHIC
REPORTER. WE ALSO KNOW THAT
ABUSE VICTIMS. OFTEN DON'T
CONTROL THE FINANCES. AND WHEN
ELECTRONIC RECORDINGS FAILED
THERE'S NO RECOURSE FOR
CONSUMERS. SO FOR EXAMPLE IN ONE
INSTANCE AN ELECTRONIC RECORDING
AWAITED FIFTY FIVE PAGES OF
WITNESS TESTIMONY WHEN THE
VICTIM BROUGHT IT TO THE JUDGE'S
ATTENTION SHE WAS DEEMED NOT
CREDIBLE AND LOST CUSTODY OF HER
CHILD FOR A YEAR. FOR DOMESTIC
ABUSE VICTIMS A TRANSCRIPT WITH
MISSING PAGES OR IN AUDIBLE'S
FEEDS OF THE CONFUSION CREATED
BY COERCIVE CONTROL. AN ABUSER
WHO HIRES A COURT REPORTER WILL
HAVE AN ACCURATE TRANSCRIPT.
WHICH GIVES THEM CONTROL OF THE
PROCESS. DESPITE THE BILL'S
INTENT WINDOW QUIRK-SILVA TRONIC
ACCORDING TO REPLACE WHAT
REPORTERS. THE GENERAL COUNSEL
MADE IT CLEAR WHEN THEIR
WORKGROUP ON REMOTE PROCEEDINGS
PRODUCED RECOMMENDATION. TO
EXPAND ER. THIS BILL DOES NOT
SOLVE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE
PROBLEM AND BY LEGITIMIZING
ELECTRONIC RECORDING GIVES
CONSUMERS FALSE CONFIDENCE AND A
PRODUCT KNOWN TO FAIL. I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR NO
VOTE THANK YOU THANK YOU MA'AM
NEXT PLEASE- NAME AFFILIATION
AND POSITION. I HAVE A- A BRIEF
SPEECH OKAY. MY NAME IS MICHELLE
CALDWELL I'M A COURT REPORTER A
MEMBER OF THIS YEAR YOU HAVE
DIRECTOR WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COURT REPORTERS ASSOCIATION. WE
URGE YOU TO VOTE NO UNLICENSED
UNREGULATED INDIVIDUALS BEING
HANDED LICENSES IS NOT THE
ANSWER. STANDARDS EXIST FOR A
REASON WE AGREE THAT REPORTERS
ARE THE GOLD STANDARD FOR COURT
PROCEEDINGS SIX SIX TWO DOESN'T
JUST DEVIATE FROM GOLD STANDARD.
INSTEAD IT OBLITERATES ANY
STANDARDS WHATSOEVER WHO WILL
GET STUCK LUGGING THE BURDEN OF
UNREGULATED ER IT'S NO SECRET
IT'S THE OBJECT WE HAVE A
GREATER RESPONSIBILITY THAN JUST
A QUICK FIX WITHOUT
CONSIDERATION OF CONSEQUENCE.
THE BILL'S PROPOSED PROTECTION
OF REPORTERS THAT YOUR WOULD
ONLY BE USED IF A REPORTER IS
UNAVAILABLE IS NOT REALITY. THE
CODE ALREADY USES THAT SAME ONLY
IF LANGUAGE ABOUT MISDEMEANORS
YET COURTS ALL OVER CALIFORNIA.
THE BILL REPORTERS ARE NOT USED
IN THOSE MATTERS. AND THEN THERE
ARE THE TRANSCRIPTS AT LEAST OR
TRANSCRIPTION SERVICE OUTSOURCES
ITS WORK OVERSEAS ANOTHER
CHARGES DIFFERENT RATES
DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ARE. ZERO
REGULATION ZERO OVERSIGHT AND
ZERO ACCOUNTABILITY. THE FUNDS
THE LEGISLATURE PROVIDED TO
COURTS IN TWENTY ONE AND TWENTY
TWO TO HIRE AND RETAIN REPORTERS
WEREN'T USED EVEN UNTIL LATE
LAST YEAR. SINCE THEN THE
EIGHTEEN COURTS THAT HAVE BEGUN
TO USE THE MONEY HAVE HIRED
REPORTERS. JUST LATE LAST YEAR
THE LEGISLATURE VOTED TO LICENSE
VOICE WRITERS AS COURT ORDERS.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY SIX HUNDRED
STUDENTS STATEWIDE IN BOSTON-
INVOICE WRITING SCHOOLS. LAST
WEEK WEST VALLEY COLLEGE OPENED
ITS VOICE WRITING. A
REGISTRATION AND ON THE SAME DAY
IT WAS FULL AND ITS WAITING LIST
IS ALSO FULL. THIS PAST FRIDAY
SANTA CLARA COUNTY COURT
EXTENDED A JOB OFFER TO THE
STATE'S VERY FIRST LICENSE VOICE
WRITER. BY THE NATURE OF OUR
PROFESSION NEARLY EVERY REPORTER

SENATOR RUBIO WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE. THANK YOU- AND I REALLY
DO WANT TO THANK ALL THE WITNESS
SAYS WHETHER THEY'RE IN SUPPORT
AND OPPOSITION OF THE BELL. THE
REALITY IS THAT I BASED ON THE
TESTIMONY ON BOTH SIDES IT
APPEARS THAT WERE ALL HAVE WE
ALL HAVE THE SAME MISSION AND
MINE AND THAT IS TO ENSURE THAT
WE HAVE. FOR REPORTERS IN EVERY
COURT AND THAT'LL WHY WERE HERE
IN THIS COMMITTEE VMP BECAUSE
WE'RE TRYING TO ENSURE THAT WE
FIGURE OUT HOW TO STRENGTHEN THE
PROFESSION. AND THE ONE THING
THAT I WILL SAY THAT I STRONGLY
DISAGREE WITH IS THAT NO RECORD
IS BETTER THAN ELECTRONIC
RECORDING AS IT'S ALREADY PROVED
AND SEVERAL CASES TO BE HOW
HELPFUL USEFUL- AND I'VE ALSO
SEEN. ACCORDING TO THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THAT FEDERAL
COURTS ALREADY USE. HOT
ELECTRONIC RECORDINGS I KNOW
SOME MEMBERS HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT
A STORAGE TO RELIABILITY BUT
EVEN IN SOME COURTS THAT THEY
ALREADY HAVE STANDARDS ON HOW TO
KEEP RECORDS. AND AGAIN JUST
WANT TO REITERATE THIS IS NOT
ABOUT ELIMINATING THE PROFESSION
THIS IS. WORKING TOWARDS MAKING
A PATTERN AND MAKING SURE THAT
WE HAVE ENOUGH BODIES SO THAT
VICTIMS DON'T HAVE TO. CARRY THE
BURDEN OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH
PEOPLE CURRENTLY IN PLACE TO
SERVICE THEMSELVES WITH THAT I
WILL ASK. FOR YOUR RIVAL THANK
YOU. THE YOU SAID AROUND. A AS
THE ISSUE. OR ISSUES PERTAINING

NINE ITEM NUMBER FOUR. PLEASE
PROCEED WHEN READY. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS SOME.
FIRST OF ALL LET ME THANK. YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR WORKING WITH ME AND MY STUFF
UP ON THE BILL- SO DILIGENTLY
AND I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS WHICH IN
NO. OUR EXTENSIVE SB SIX SIXTY
NINE REPRESENTS THE MUTUAL GOAL
OF BOTH THE CALIFORNIA
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
THE REGISTERED VETERINARY
TECHNICIAN ASSOCIATION. THIS
LEGISLATION- REALLY IS THE RARE
SCOPE OF PRACTICE BILL WERE BOTH
ASSOCIATIONS ARE IN AGREEMENT.
THEY'RE GIVEN SPEAKS THE
COMMONSENSE NATURE OF THIS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THE CONCEPT IS
SIMPLE EMPOWER VETERINARIANS TO
ENABLE REGISTERED VETERINARIAN
TECHNICIANS TO ESTABLISH A
VETERINARIAN CLIENT PATIENT
RELATIONSHIP FOR THE PURPOSES OF
MINISTRY PREVENTIVE OR
PROPHYLACTIC VACCINES OR
MEDICATIONS. THE BENEFITS ARE
TWO FOLD A TECHNICIAN WILL BE
ABLE TO GO OUT INTO THE
COMMUNITY AND A MINISTER THE
PERMITTED TREATMENTS TO ANIMALS
INCLUDING THE ANIMALS OF THE
UNDER REPRESENTED AND UNDER
HOUSE. IT ALSO WOULD ALLOW THE
TECHNICIAN TO ESTABLISH THE
RELATIONSHIP IN A CLINICAL
SETTING FOR THE SAME PURPOSE
CRUCIALLY THIS CHANGE IN THE
CLINICAL SETTING LOWER THE COST
OF GETTING YOUR PET OR ANIMAL
VACCINATED. AS WELL AS ALLOW
VETERINARIANS TO DO MORE
COMPLICATED PROCEDURES WITH
THEIR TIME. THE NEED FOR THIS
BILL IS PRESSING DUE TO
COMPETITION FOR VETERINARIANS
THE ACCOMPANYING INCREASING
COSTS NONPROFITS ACROSS THE
STATE PARTICULARLY HAVE BEEN
FORCED TO CURTAIL OR CLOSER LOW
OR NO COST VACCINE CLINICS DUE.
TO THE LACK OF IGNORANCE- BY IT
WAY OF ANALOGY. AS WE ALL KNOW
DURING THE ROLLOUT OF COVERT
NINETEEN VACCINATIONS PARKING
LOTS IN SUBURBAN MALLS BECAME
DRIVE THRU VACCINATION CLINICS
IN MANY CASES IT WAS. IT WAS NOT
EMPLOYEES IT WAS EMTS FROM LOCAL
FIRE DEPARTMENTS EVEN THE
NATIONAL GUARD WHO ADMINISTERED.
THAT PARTICULAR VACCINE OF
COURSE- THAT WAS- A HUMAN. NEED
HERE. THOUGH THERE IS A SIMILAR
CRISIS THREATENING OR PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY WHICH IS
UNVACCINATED PETS CALIFORNIA.
THESE PETS OR AT RISK OF
CATCHING IN TRANSMITTING. RABIES
IN THE PARVO VIRUS. I GUESS THE
QUESTION REALLY IS WHY WOULD WE
NOT ALLOW A GROUP OF
PROFESSIONALS. WITH SIGNIFICANT
EXPERIENCE- TO ADMINISTER- THOSE
VACCINES- JUST LIKE WE'VE DONE
IN HUMAN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
HERE WITH ME TO PRESENT HERE
WITH ME TO PRESENT TODAY IS DR
GRANT MILLER DIRECTOR OF
REGULATORY AFFAIRS OF THE
CALIFORNIA VETERINARY MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION. IN MISTER KENNEL
TEAM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF
THE SACRAMENTO SPCA THANK YOU

AYE VOTE. OKAY WHO'S UP FIRST
GOOD AFTERNOON OF CHAIR AND
SENATOR THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THE TIME TODAY MY NAME IS GRANT
MILLER I'M THE VETERINARIAN AND
THE DIRECTOR OF REGULATORY
AFFAIRS AT THE CALIFORNIA
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME AND CONSIDERATION OF SB SIX
SIXTY NINE WITH ADDITIONAL
THANKS TO SENATOR CORTESE FOR
CAMPING THE IMPORTANT CAUSES SET
FORTH IN THE MEASURE. CDMA HAS A
SUPPORT POSITION ON THE BILL AND
FEELS IT IS A PROGRESSIVE
NATIONAL PRESIDENT THAT WILL
HELP ANIMAL OWNERS ACCESS MUCH
NEEDED VETERINARY CARE FOR THEIR
PETS. ACCESS TO VETERINARY CARE
IS A NATIONAL ISSUE THAT STEMS
LARGELY FROM SURVEYS THAT SHOW
THAT ONE OUT OF EVERY FOUR PET
OWNING HOUSEHOLDS HAVE
SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTY IN
AFFORDING EVEN THE MOST BASIC
VETERINARY CARE FOR ANIMALS. BY
BASIC CARE THIS INCLUDES PETS
RECEIVING VACCINATIONS AND
MEDICATIONS TO CONTROL
PARASITES. STUDIES ALSO SHOW
UNEQUIVOCALLY THAT THE HEALTH OF
THE FAMILY PETS IS DIRECTLY
LINKED TO THE HEALTH OF THE
FAMILY MEMBERS MEANING THE HUMAN
BEINGS IN THE HOUSEHOLD. THUS
ENSURING THAT PETS ARE
VACCINATED AND PROVIDED PARA SE
CONTROL MEDICATION CAN EQUATE TO
IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH OVERALL.
SB SIX SIXTY NINE WILL ADDRESS
ACCESS TO VETERINARY CARE AND
IMPROVE PUBLIC HEALTH BY
EXPANDING THE USE OF REGISTERED
VETERINARY TECHNICIANS ALSO
CALLED RVT IS. IN VETERINARY
PRACTICE THIS BILL WILL PERMIT
VETERINARIANS TO AUTHORIZE OUR
FEET HE'S WORKING UNDER THEIR
SUPERVISION TO ACT AS AN AGENT
OF THE VETERINARIAN AND
ESTABLISHING THE VETERINARIAN
CLIENT PATIENT RELATIONSHIP FOR
THE SPECIFIC PURPOSES OF
ADMINISTERING VACCINATIONS AND
PARASITE CONTROL. THE CDMA VIEWS
THIS AS A SOLUTION WHICH
BENEFITS ALL PARTIES.
VETERINARIANS WHO CHOOSE TO
DELEGATE AUTHORITY TO THEIR RV
TEASE FOR THESE SPECIFIC
PURPOSES WILL HAVE MORE TIME TO
SEE SICK ANIMALS. AND
EMERGENCIES RBT IS WILL BE ABLE
TO BETTER UTILIZE THEIR
EDUCATION AND TRAINING AND HELP
ANIMALS AND THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE
BETTER ACCESS. TO CARE AT A
LOWER COST. ALL OF THIS AND THE
BEST IS THE CALIFORNIA ANIMALS
WILL ALSO BE HEALTHIER BECAUSE
OF THIS IMPORTANT LEGISLATION

MISTER CHAIRMAN PLEASE PERSON.
THAT I'M SURE COLLEAGUES- SB
EIGHT ONE FIVE IS THE SUNSET
BILL FOR THE MEDICAL BOARD OF
CALIFORNIA YOU KNOW WITHOUT
LEGISLATION THE MEDICAL BOARD
WILL NO LONGER EXIST AFTER
JANUARY ONE. TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
FOUR. AS PROPOSED THE AMENDED AT
THIS POINT THE BILL RESPONDS TO
A NUMBER OF THE ISSUES DISCUSSED
PUBLICLY AT THE MEDICAL BOARD
MEETINGS AND DISCUSSED PUBLICLY
. IN THIS COMMITTEE ACTUALLY FOR
A NUMBER OF YEARS THE CHANGES TO
THE MEDICAL PRACTICE ACT THAT
WILL BE THAT ARE PROPOSED TO BE
CONTAINED IN THIS BILL DIRECTLY
CORRESPOND TO THE LINK THE
SUNSET REVIEW OVERSIGHT HEARING.
WE HELD WITH THE ASSEMBLY
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS
COMMITTEE LAST MONTH AND ARE
AIMED AT ENSURING THAT THE
MEDICAL BOARD HAS THE TOOLS TO
DO THE JOB THAT WE'VE TESTED
WITH AND TO DO SO EFFICIENTLY
AND EFFECTIVELY. THE BILL WILL
PROVIDE THE MEDICAL BOARD WITH A
NUMBER OF ENHANCEMENTS IN ITS
ENFORCEMENT PROCESS TO ALLOW FOR
SWIFT DISCIPLINARY ACTION WHEN
NECESSARY AND REMOTE CONSUMER
AND PATIENT INTERESTS. AS I
THINK YOU KNOW THE MEDICAL BOARD
IS INSOLVENT AND HAS ATTEMPTED
TO RECEIVE INCREASED REVENUE FOR
THE PAST NUMBER OF YEARS THIS
BILL INCREASES PHYSICIAN AND
SURGEON LICENSING FEES TO ALLOW
THE MEDICAL BOARD TO FUNCTION.
THE BOARD HAS BEEN PAYING ITS
BILLS THANKS TO LOANS FROM OTHER
STATE AGENCY FOR YEARS AND IT
AND FRANKLY IT'S TIME FOR US TO.
FUND THIS IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND
TO ALLOW IT TO EFFECTIVELY DO
ITS WORK ITS LICENSURE AND ITS
ENFORCEMENT WORK. THE BILL
RETAINS A HIGH BURDEN OF PROOF
FOR ENFORCEMENT CASES THAT WOULD
RESULT IN LICENSE REVOCATION.
BUT NOTABLY PROVIDES THE BOARD
WITH THE THIRTY THAT FORTY ONE
OTHER STATES CURRENTLY HAVE.
UTILIZED A PREPONDERANCE OF
EVIDENCE STANDARD FOR CASES THAT
ARE LESS SEVERE. THE BILL ALSO
SPEEDS UP THE MEDICAL BOARD'S
ABILITY TO TAKE ENFORCEMENT
ACTION AGAINST A CURRENTLY A
LICENSEE. WHO IS CONVICTED OF A
FELONY WHERE THE CONVICTION
INVOLVES MORAL TURPITUDE
DISHONESTY OR CORRUPTION FRAUD
OR SEXUAL ASSAULT. WHETHER IN
THE COURSE OF THE LICENSEES
ACTION IS A PHYSICIAN AND
SURGEON OR OTHERWISE. OBVIOUSLY
THESE ARE PROPOSED THESE ARE
PROPOSED ACTIONS I LOOK FORWARD
TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE
BROAD RANGE AND I MEAN BROAD
RANGE. OF INTERESTED PARTIES IS
THIS MEASURE PROGRESSES. AND AT
THIS POINT RESPECTFULLY AS FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU WILL
MOVE TO WITNESSES LEAD WITNESSES
OR INDIVIDUALS WHO LIKE TO
SUPPORT. PLEASE COME FORWARD.
GOOD AFTERNOON SANDERS ERIN BONE
WITH THE MEDICAL BOARD OF
CALIFORNIA WE WISH TO EXPRESS
OUR APPRECIATION TO CENTER ROTH
AND STAFF FOR THEIR TIME AND
ENGAGEMENT WITH THE BOARD. TO
WORK THROUGH THE VARIOUS
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE AND HOPE
TO ADDRESS DURING THIS YEAR
SUNSET REVIEW. ALTHOUGH THE
BOARD DOES NOT YET HAVE A
POSITION ON SB EIGHT ONE FIVE I
WOULD LIKE TO NOTE FOR THE
COMMITTEE. THAT THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS ADDRESS A NUMBER OF
TOPICS RAISED BY THE BOARD AND
IN SOME CASES INCLUDE SPECIFIC
LANGUAGE PROPOSED BY THE BOARD.
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE LANGUAGE
FOR U. S. SENATE ROTH INDICATED
INCLUDES THE PHYSICIAN FEE
AMOUNT REQUESTED BY THE BOARD
INCLUDING A PROPOSAL TO INCREASE
THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS THAT WE MAY
HOLD IN RESERVE. IN ADDITION
ESTABLISHING A COMPLAINANT
LIAISON UNIT WILL HELP THE BOARD
TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS OF
OUR PRESENCE AND ROLE AND
RESPONDED VARIOUS ENQUIRIES
ABOUT OUR ENFORCEMENT PROCESS.
THE BOARD REQUESTED FORSMAN
CHANGES INCLUDED IN THE MEMBERS
TODAY WILL FACILITATE THE TIMELY
RESOLUTION OF COMPLAINTS
INVESTIGATIONS AND PROSECUTIONS
OF OUR LICENSEES. WHO FAILED TO
ADEQUATELY CARE FOR THEIR
PATIENTS. AGAIN THE BOARD
APPRECIATES THE EFFORTS OF THE
SHARE IN THIS COMMITTEE TO HELP
ENSURE. WE HAVE THE ADEQUATE
RESOURCES AND TOOLS TO MEET OUR
CONSUMER PROTECTION MISSION. THE
BOARD WILL REVIEW ALL THE
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL DURING
THEIR MAY EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
HEARING IT MAY TAKE A POSITION
AT THAT TIME. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
WITNESSES WHO WOULD LIKE TO
STATE A SUPPORT. WHEN I MOVE TO
THE OPPOSITION. GOOD AFTERNOON.
CHAIR MEMBERS I MEAN IT WAS
GEORGE SOURIS OF THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. AND YOU
REALLY APPRECIATE THE- THE CHAIR
AND AN AUTHOR AND THE
COMMITTEE'S WORK ON THIS IS A
LONG PROCESS WE LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUE TO WORK THERE- YOU
DON'T SEE IN A WE CARE DEEPLY
ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT'S IN THIS
BUT SOME OF THAT WE REALLY WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT. IS THE FEE
INCREASE THE RETIREMENT A FEW
THAT'S GOING FROM EIGHT HUNDRED
SIXTY THREE DOLLARS TO. ONE
THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
UP TO MAKE CANNOT AGREE TO A FEE
INCREASE THAT'S NEARLY SIXTY
PERCENT. THAT WOULD. PRIMARILY
GO TO ABOUT A HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS. TWENTY FOUR
MONTHS RESERVE FUND FOR THE
MEDICAL BOARD IT MOVING FORWARD
AFTER A COUPLE YEARS- THE
PROPOSAL THE PROPOSED FEE
INCREASES SO STEEP. BECAUSE
CURRENTLY THE MEDICAL BOARD
WOULD HAVE TO PAY OFF THEIR
LOANS WITHIN ABOUT TWO YEARS.
AND CREATES A LARGE BALLOON
PAYMENT- THE MEDICAL PORTION OF
THE PAY THESE OFF AND A LONGER
STRETCH OUT TIME PERIOD- IN OUR
OPINION- IF THIS WILL. BE
INCREASE WAS ADOPTED MEDICAL
WOULD HAVE ABOUT ROUGHLY THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS EXTRA AFTER
PAYING OFF THEIR LOANS. WHICH
WOULD JUST WE FEEL THIS
UNNECESSARY CREEDS CREATES
UNPRECEDENTED THE INCREASE ONE
TIME OVER. FOR ANY OTHER TYPE OF
BOARD AS WELL- CALIFORNIA
CURRENTLY HIS TOP THREE ALMOST
AT ALL TIMES IN THE NATION. IN A
POSITION LICENSURE FEES AND HAVE
SOME OF THE SLOWEST APPROVAL
WAIT TIMES SO. FOR OUR MEMBERS
IT'S REALLY HARD TO JUSTIFY SUCH
A FEE INCREASE IN A LIKE YOU
KNOW WE'RE WE'RE WAITING FOR A
LONG TIME TO BEGIN WITH- WE DO
DEEPLY UNDERSTAND THE STRUCTURAL
DEFICIT THAT THE BOARD HAS AND
HAS HAD IN THE PAST. AND WE'RE
TOTALLY COMMITTED TO HELPING
SOLVE THAT AND POTENTIALLY. YOU
KNOW EVEN WORK WITH THE DEBT AS
WELL- BUT WE DON'T FEEL LIKE
THIS FEE INCREASES IS THE- RIGHT
AMOUNT AND WE'D LIKE TO YOU KNOW
FOLKS. SOMEWHERE ELSE WITH THAT-
BUT THE SIDE FROM THE FEED JUST
WANNA HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE OTHER
ISSUES THAT ARE WITH IN THIS-
THE ANALYSIS ON THE MARKET. RUPO
ADDING A PUBLIC NUMBER. THERE
BEEN NO DAMAGE. OF WHY IS BE
GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC. FOR THE FOR
THE STATE FOR PATIENTS OR THE
PRACTICE OF MEDICINE. AND
FRANKLY THERE'S NOT THAT MANY
OTHER BOARDS THAT ARE LIKE THAT.
EITHER SO WE'RE OPPOSED TO THAT-
WE'RE OPPOSED TO CHANGING THE
EVIDENTIARY STANDARD. IN GENERAL
AND WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST THAT GETS MOVED OUT OF
THE BILL- NO POSITIONS BEEN
TAKEN BECAUSE WE HAVE TO TAKE A
DEEPER LOOK AT IT BUT- WE LIKE
TO. LOOK MORE TO THE WHAT CRIMES
WOULD BE COVERING THE SEXUALLY
TO LICENSURE. REVOCATION FOR
CRIMINAL CASES WE SEE SOME OF IN
THERE BUT LIKE WHERE IS A START
AND AS WE REALLY WANNA GET TO
THE BOTTOM UP- AND THEN ON THE
PTL THE POST TRAINING LICENSURE
PROPOSAL- WE'RE STILL GOING
THROUGH THAT BUT WE'RE- WE'RE
CONFIDENT THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO
YOU KNOW REACH SOME SORT OF
AGREEMENT ON THAT WITH THE

DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS.
THE MEASURE MAKES CHANGES TO THE
OPERATIONS OF THESE PROGRAMS AND
THE CALIFORNIA COUNCIL FOR
INTERIOR DESIGN CERTIFICATION.
FOLLOWING THE RECENT SUNSET
REVIEW OVERSIGHT WORK. FOR
DESIGN CHAPTER TO CLARIFY THAT
THE CALIFORNIA COUNCIL FOR
INTERIOR DESIGN CERTIFICATION IS
THE CERTIFYING ENTITY INCLUDING
CODIFYING THE COMMERCIAL DESIGN
STAMP DESIGNATION AMONG OTHER
TECHNICAL AND CLARIFYING CHANGES
. I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
TO WORK WITH COMMERCIAL
DESIGNERS AND OTHERS IN THIS
SPACE TO DETERMINE WHAT
ADDITIONAL CHANGES MAY BE
NECESSARY TO ENSURE EFFICIENCY
AND THE APPROPRIATENESS OF THE
COUNCIL'S WORK. THE BILL DELETES
THE CURRENT PROHIBITION IN THE
VETERINARY VETERINARY MEDICAL
PRACTICE ACT THAT PREVENTS THE
VETERINARY MEDICAL BOARD FROM
BEING ABLE TO ISSUE A
PROBATIONARY CERTIFICATE IF
APPROPRIATE TO AN APPLICANT FOR
A VETERINARY ASSISTANT
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE PERMIT. THE
BILL ALSO MAKES TECHNICAL
CHANGES RELATED TO THE S. THIRTY
FOR THE BOARD OF VOCATIONAL
NURSING AND PSYCHIATRIC
TECHNICIANS TO DECREASE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FEES FOR THAT
BOARD SCHOOL APPROVED PROPOSAL
PROCESS. WHEN THOSE INSTITUTIONS
