WE STILL MAY REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION
AND ALSO ASK YOUR SUPPORT FOR
THE BILL PRIMARY REASONS ARE THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LAW DOES NOT
ALLOW FOR THE FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD TO CONSIDER THE HISTORY.
OF THE COMPLAINTS HISTORY THE
TAXPAYER NUMBER TWO THIS WOULD
REDUCE WORKLOAD FOR THE OFFICE
OF TAX APPEALS. ANY OTHER ISSUES
THAT RELATE TO TIMELESS
PENALTIES MAY BE APPEALED IN
WITH THE NEW TAX BILL
ORGANIZATION COMING UP WE LIKE
TO REDUCE THE WORKLOAD TO THE-EXTENT POSSIBLE THIS WOULD
STREAMLINED THE PROCESS. AS
BLANKET IMPOSITION OF PENALTIES.
FREQUENTLY RESULT IN APPEALS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH IT'S GREAT TO

ALRIGHT THIS BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE WANNA MAKE NOTE THAT
WE DO HAVE A SUBCOMMITTEE WE'RE
NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO. TAKE
ACTION ON THIS ITEM BUT WITH ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CENTER
MORLOCK.
SURE UP WHEN I WAS TREASURER THE
COUNTY OF ORANGE.
A WE HAD INTERNAL POLICIES LIKE
THIS YOU KNOW THE PEOPLE THERE
TO HEAR THE REASONS. SO WE WOULD
EMPOWER MY EMPLOYEES TO GO AHEAD
WAIT PENALTIES AND THAT MAKE IT
A FEDERAL CASE COMING UP TO THE
BOSS ALL THE TIME.
SO I GUESS THE ONLY QUESTION I
WOULD HAVE IS.
DISENFRANCHISED TAX BORDER
READY HAVE SOME KIND OF.
INTERNAL CHECKLIST ERROR
APPROACH VALID REASONS FOR
WAVING.
ARE CURRENTLY THE LAW ALLOWS FOR
REASONABLE CAUSE EXCEPTIONS BUT
THAT'S REASONABLE CAUSE
EXCEPTIONS ARE. QUITE EXTREME
IT'S OF PURE DISASTER YOUR BOOK
KEEPER OF. YOU KNOW IT IS
UNAVAILABLE OR HAS BEEN
INCAPACITATED DUE TO ILLNESS AND
SO THIS RECOGNIZES THE HISTORY
OF A TAXPAYER OF THE HAVE
TAXPAYER HAS BEEN COMPLIANT HAS
PAID ALL THEIR TAXES ON TIME.
HAS PRETTY MUCH BEEN A GOOD
STANDING CITIZEN WHEN IT COMES
TO TAXES THIS ALLOWS A ONE TIME
WAIVER AND RECOGNITION THAT
THINGS DO HAPPEN OF IF A
TAXPAYER WAITS UNTIL THE LAST
DAY. THEIR COMPUTER BREAKS DOWN
THERE UNABLE TO FILE ONLINE AS A
MATTER OF FACT OF THE IRS HAS
EXTENDED THE FILING DEADLINE
FROM YESTERDAY TO TODAY BECAUSE
OF. SYSTEM FAILURE AND SO THE
FTV ALSO HAS EXAMINED THEIR
DEADLINE SO IT'S FOR UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES OF SPECIALLY
TARGETED FOR TAXPAYERS WHO HAVE
A LONG STANDING COMPLIANCE
HISTORY.
STARTING TO DIFFERENCES LE A
COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR.
IS INDEPENDENTLY ELECTED AND IN
MOST CASES CAN THEN YOU KNOW.
UNAUTHORIZED TO POLICY BUT BIT
RAP FOR AN INDEPENDENT
DEPARTMENT PROBABLY HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO GUESS

THE FILM INDUSTRY IS A CRUCIAL
ELEMENT OF MY DISTRICT AND

CALIFORNIA FROM NEW JERSEY MANY
MANY MANY A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
MULTIPLE FILM STUDIOS ARE
LOCATED IN MY DISTRICT AND THE
FILM INDUSTRY PROVIDES STEADY
JOBS FOR NEIGHBORS FRIENDS AND

KEY CONTRIBUTOR. TO WHAT

SENATOR MITCHELL MISTER CHAIR
COMMITTEE MEMBERS THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT TO YOU S. B. NINE FIVE
ONE. WHICH WE ARE CALLING IN MY
OFFICE CALIFORNIA STATE HIM TAX
CREDIT THREE POINT OH.
TO BEGIN I WOULD LIKE TO ACCEPT
THE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS LISTA
DIDN'T COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
WHICH INCLUDES THE CORRECTION OF
A DRAFTING AIR. THAT WAS
INADVERTENTLY REMOVED.
WHICH FOCUSES ON THE BONUS
POINTS FOR SCORING MUSICIANS SO
HE WON IT NOW IS THAT WITH THE
JACK IN THE AIR AND WE ACCEPT
THE AMENDMENTS TO CORRECT THAT.
THE CALIFORNIA FILM TAX CREDIT
AS A MODEL PROGRAM IN THE WORLD
OF TAX CREDITS
EACH ITERATION IS BEEN IMPORTANT
HAS INCLUDED IMPORTANT
IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE PRIOR
VERSION AND TODAY THREE POINT OH
VERSION IS NO EXCEPTION.
THREE POINT ALL COLLEAGUES WILL
GO INTO AFFECTED TWENTY TWENTY
AND MORE FOCUS ON STAYING AHEAD
OF THE CURVE IN ORDER TO
ACCOMMODATE THE WORK FLOW AND
WORK LOAD. OF THE PRODUCTION
PROCESS.
THREE POINT OH ALSO HOLD THE
LINE ONE OF THE CHANGES THAT
LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT IS THE NEW
CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM WHICH
DIRECTS APPLICANTS RECEIVING A-CREDIT TO PAY A FEE. TO FUND
TECHNICAL SKILLS TRAINING TO
INDIVIDUALS FROM UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES FOR ENTRY INTO FILM
AND TELEVISION INDUSTRY JOBS.
BUT MY OWN BROTHER FORTY YEARS
AGO WAS THE BENEFICIARY OF A
SIMILAR PROGRAM ABOUT RENDON BY
THE URBAN LEAGUE.
HE WAS TRAINED TO BECAME A
EDITOR IN CHIEF FOR UNIVERSAL
STUDIOS WHERE HE SPENT HIS
ENTIRE CAREER POLICE KIND OF
TECHNICAL SKILLS PROGRAMS.
ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND.
CREATE.
CAREER PATHWAYS.
THESE ARE GOOD PAYING JOBS
VALUABLE SKILLS THAT TRANSLATE
INTO CAREERS THAT CAN LAST A
LIFETIME.
TODAY THE PROGRAM WAS ALLOCATED
A TOTAL OF EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN TAX CREDIT TO
ONE HUNDRED FIFTY APPROVED
PROJECTS
TOGETHER THESE PROJECTS ARE
CONTRIBUTING FIVE POINT NINE
BILLION DOLLARS OF DIRECT. IN
STATE SPENDING INCLUDING TWO
POINT THREE BILLION DOLLARS IN
WAGES TO THE TECHNICAL CREW.
THESE FIGURES I SHARE WITH YOU
DO NOT INCLUDE WAGES PAID FOR
WRITERS DIRECTORS PRODUCERS ARE
ACTORS AS THOSE WAGES AS YOU
KNOW ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE
TAX CREDIT.
ALL OF THESE FIGURES ARE ACTUAL
DOLLARS THESE ARE NOT USING
MULTIPLIERS.
TWENTY NINE THOUSAND CAST
MEMBERS HIRED. EIGHTEEN THOUSAND
CREW MEMBERS HIRED
BACKGROUND FIRES WITH THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE HIRED ON A DAILY BASIS
ADDS ANOTHER FOUR HUNDRED
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS.
WE'VE ALSO HAVE THIRTEEN TV
SERIES RELOCATE TO CALIFORNIA
FROM OUT OF STATE.
THREE SERIES MOVED FROM NEW YORK
FOR PRINT AND COOPER AND THE
REST CAME FROM NORTH CAROLINA
MARYLAND TEXAS LOUISIANA AND
FLORIDA.
THESE THOUSAND JOBS HAVE DEEPER
IMPLICATIONS THAN JUST
EMPLOYMENT.
THE PROGRAM HELPS TO KEEP
FAMILIES TOGETHER IT KEEPS
CHILDREN LIVING WITH THEIR
PARENTS TWELVE MONTHS OF THE
YEAR INSURING THERE ARE NO MORE
A LONG SEPARATIONS WHILE PARENTS
HAVE TO GO TO OTHER STATES FOR
WORK. AND BECAUSE THE PRODUCTION
TAKES PLACE IN CALIFORNIA BEFORE
THE TAX CREDIT IS CLAIMED ALL OF
THAT MONEY GOES DIRECTLY INTO
OUR ECONOMY FOR AT LEAST TWO
YEARS BEFORE ANY CREDIT IS
ACTUALLY CLAIMED.
WHEN I SAY THAT MONEY ON TALK
ABOUT THEIR SALARIES THIS RESULT
IN A DEEP INVESTMENT IN OUR
COMMUNITIES FAMILIES AND WORK
OPPORTUNITIES. OTHER STATES AND
OTHER COUNTRIES ARE ACTIVELY
RECRUITING THE INDUSTRY
INCLUDING EXTENSIVE INCENTIVES
LIKE TAX CREDIT PROGRAMS.
THE WERE PROVIDED A TAX CREDIT
BUT THE MONEY IS NOT A LOS WHERE
BENEFITING IN MANY WAYS FROM
CORPORATION INCOME TAX TO
PERSONAL INCOME TAX AND MOST
IMPORTANT BY KEEPING FAMILIES IN
CALIFORNIA. WORKING AND DRIVING.

CAMERA DEPARTMENT RANGED FROM
MARKING ACTORS WHICH LETS THEM
KNOW WHERE TO STAND. KEEPING
IMPORTANT CAMERA RECORDS AND
MAKING SURE THERE'S ENOUGH FILM
OR MEDIA TO GET THROUGH THE NEXT
TAKE.
MOSTLY WOULD RECOGNIZE MY JOB AS
THE PERSON THAT OPERATES THE
CLAPPERBOARD BEFORE EACH SCENE
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU HEAR TAKE ONE.
THIS MAY SOUND EASY BUT IT WAS
IT'S ACTUALLY I BEGAN MY
TRAINING AT BROOKS INSTITUTE OF
PHOTOGRAPHY.
AND SPENT MANY YEARS PERFECTING
MY CRAFT LEARNING HOW TO WORK
WITH THE CINEMATOGRAPHER AND A
CAMERA CREW AND WORKING
COLLABORATIVE WITH
COLLABORATIVELY WITH ALL THE SET
CRAFTSPEOPLE TO CAPTURE THE
DIRECTOR'S VISION.
NO STATE OR COUNTRY CAN COME
CLOSE TO THE TALENT AND
KNOWLEDGE OF OUR CALIFORNIA CREW
MEMBERS.
EVERYONE IN THE BUSINESS WILL
ATTEST TO THAT FACT
UNFORTUNATELY EVEN THOUGH WE
HAVE THE BEST CREWS AND TALENT
THE DECISIONS OF WHERE TO SHOOT
IS FREQUENTLY DRIVEN BY WHERE
YOU CAN MAKE IT AT THE LOWEST
COST. AND THAT IS WHY OTHER
STATES AND COUNTRIES HAVE USED
INCENTIVES TO LURE PRODUCTION
AWAY FROM CALIFORNIA.
BEFORE THIS LEGISLATURE PASSED A
BE EIGHTEEN THIRTY NINE AND
TWENTY FOURTEEN THE INDUSTRY HAD
SLOWED SO DRAMATICALLY CREATING
A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR ME.
AND MANY OF MY CO WORKERS. MY
PARENTS ARE BOTH IMMIGRANTS AND
I'M FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN.
AND I HAVE AN OLDER MOTHER FOR
WHOM MY SISTER AND I ARE THE
ONLY CARE GIVERS AND SUPPORT SHE
HAS.
MY SISTER NOW LIVES IN HAWAII SO
FOR ME SPECIFICALLY AS YOU I'M
SURE YOU COULD UNDERSTAND I HAVE
TO STAY IN CALIFORNIA TO ENSURE
THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO MY
ELDERLY MOTHER. I WAS NEARBY TO
TEND AND CARE AND SUPPORT HER.
JOBS RIGHT UP FOR SO MANY PEOPLE
AND I HAD A COUPLE BAD YEARS BUT
I WAS ABLE TO WORK NOT AS MUCH
AS I WANTED OR AND OFTENTIMES
TAKING LOWER POSITIONS IN
EXCHANGE. TO WORKING CLOTHES INC
EXCHANGE FOR WORKING CLOSE TO
HOME.
MANY PEOPLE WERE NOT AS LUCKY
THEY FOUND THEMSELVES UNEMPLOYED
OR HAVING TO LEAVE THEIR
FAMILIES TRAVELING TO OTHER
STATES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF
TIME TO WORK. OFTENTIMES THEY
WERE ASKED TO TRAIN LOCAL PEOPLE
WHO WOULD ULTIMATELY REPLACE
THEM.
IT ALL TURNED AROUND IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN FEATURE FILMS AND TV
SERIES CAME BACK OR THEY STAYED
I REAP THE BENEFITS BY WORKING
ON FOUR DIFFERENT INCENTIVE
SHOWS. TOUR IN THE ONE POINT OH
PROGRAM ONE WAS MURDER IN THE
FIRST THE OTHER BUNHEADS.
TWO WERE MORE WERE PART OF THE
CURRENT PROGRAM AND THEY'RE BOTH
TV SERIES THAT RELOCATED TO
CALIFORNIA. THE FIRST SECRETS
UNWISE MOVE FROM NORTH NORTH
CAROLINA FOR ITS SECOND SEASON
PUTTING THIRTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS INTO THE CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY HIRING A HUNDRED EIGHTY
pTWENTY CAST MEMBERS. AND ALSO
HUNDRED EIGHTEEN HUNDRED
BACKGROUND PERFORMERS
THE SECOND SHOW IS THE AWARD
WINNING AMERICAN HORROR STORY
AND MOVED BACK TO CALIFORNIA
FROM LOUISIANA FOR ITS FIFTH
SEASON. PUTTING ALMOST SEVENTY
MILLION INTO THE CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY WITH A CREW OF A HUNDRED
FIFTY TWO PEOPLE CAST OF TWO
HUNDRED NINETY AT CLOSE TO FOUR
THOUSAND EXTRAS.
YOU CAN MULTIPLY ALL THESE
ADDITIONAL SEASONS. I CAN
DIRECTLY TESTIFY TO THE REAL AND
IMMEDIATE IMPACT OF CALIFORNIA'S
INCENTIVE PROGRAM ON MY LIFE AND
THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE THAT
I'VE WORKED WITH ON THE SETS.
WITHOUT THE INCENTIVES THOSE TWO
SERIES WOULD NOT HAVE RETURNED
TO CALIFORNIA AND NEITHER WOULD
THOUSANDS OF JOBS.
IN OUR BUSINESS
PRODUCTION DECISIONS ARE MADE
ONE OR TWO YEARS IN ADVANCE
CERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE IS
NEEDED. SENATOR MITCHELL'S BILL
S. B. NINE FIVE ONE IS A JOB

WE'RE GONNA BRING IT BACK TO

FOR A START WITH SENATOR LARA
QUESTIONSARE COMES THANK YOU I
THINK YOU CENTER MITCHELL FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD. I HAVE A
COUPLE QUESTIONS. FOR THE
SUPPORT.
.
DO WE AT NO THE ANTICIPATED
REVENUE GAINS OR SHELLS COMING
IF WE EXTEND THIS TAX CREDIT.
I HOPE WE CAN PROVIDE AN
ESTIMATE BASED ON WHAT WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED WHAT WHAT IS WHAT IS
THE EXCITEMENT THAT YOU WOULD.
SO FOR APPROXIMATELY FOR EVERY.
.
TAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW.
FOR EVERY.
.
WITH ALLOCATED SO FAR
APPROXIMATELY EIGHT HUNDRED
MILLION AND THE DIRECT SPEND
THAT WERE GOING TO GET FROM THAT
IS FIVE POINT NINE BILLION
DOLLARS SO. I CAN SEND YOU
SOMETHING LATER TO GIVE YOU AN
EXACT ESTIMATE FOR THE FIVE
YEARS.
GREAT OUT OF TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
THE THE THING I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT BECAUSE THIS IS CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS MONEY.
AND THIS IS REAL MONEY THAT WERE
INVESTING.
AND CALIFORNIA'S VERY DIVERSE.
YET WE SEE AN INDUSTRY WHERE.
AFRICAN AMERICANS HAVE MADE
TREMENDOUS STRIDES BUT.
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR API
COMMUNITY LATINO COMMUNITY.
BEHIND THE CAMERA AND IN FRONT
OF THE CAMERA.
WE SEE A GREAT TEARS.
OF PARTICIPATION AND I KNOW
WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT A
DIVERSITY COMPONENT.
TO THIS BILL WHICH I WOULD.
A FULLY SUPPORT CAN YOU WE TALK
ABOUT. ANY IDEAS OF MOVING
FORWARD I I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE
TO SEE IT ON THE BILL BUT. ANY%
THOUGHTS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
SENATE MITCHELL BECAUSE I KNOW
YOU AND I.
THE REPORT BACK I DID YES I LOVE.
DOES APPEAR TO JUST TALK ABOUT
THAT.
HAPPY TO AND YOU KNOW I I THINK
WE'VE HEARD PERFECT TESTIMONY
AND AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE EFFORT AROUND
CAREER READINESS. AND AND WHO
BENEFITS IN THE INDUSTRY
DIRECTLY FROM THE TAX CREDIT
AREN'T THE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF
THE CAMERA.
AND YOU KNOW I THINK SOMEONE
WOULD QUESTION IT ANY COMMUNITY
OF COLOR REALLY IS ACCURATELY
AND FAIRLY REPRESENTED BUT IT'S
THE BEHIND THE CAMERA THAT I
THINK THE INDUSTRY HAS WORKED
HARD IN MORE RECENT YEARS.
TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK
FORCE REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA.
I WOULD DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO
THE PACKET.
THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US.
THAT TALKS ABOUT THEIR
EDUCATION PARTNERS AND WE SEE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES INCLUDING.
LA MISSION COLLEGE LA CITY
COLLEGE BAKERSFIELD COLLEGE EL
CAMINO COMMUNITY COLLEGE WE KNOW.
WHO THE STUDENT BODY IS IN IN
THOSE COMMUNITIES IN THOSE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES?
AND AND THE VARIETY OF
WORKFORCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN
UNDER REPRESENTED COMMUNITIES LA
YOU HIGHER BUT GET ALL FILM
SCHOOL THIS NAME A FEW THE
VETERANS IN FILM AND TELEVISION.
WHERE?
IT I I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO BUT
LABOR AND THE INDUSTRY IN
RECOGNIZING THE LACK OF
DIVERSITY. BELOW THE LINE AS YOU
SAY AND WORKING HARD TO WORK
WITHIN THE CONFINES OF COMMUNITY
BASED COMMUNITY VESTED
INSTITUTIONS. TO EXPOSE THAT
ENTIRE NEW WORK FORCE TO THEIR
INDUSTRYBUBBLE CONTINUE TO HAVE
THAT CONVERSATION BUT LOOKING UP
THE COMMUNITY.
PARTNERS AS THEY EXIST
HIGH SCHOOLS EAST LA PERFORMING
ARTS MAGNET BOMB HOLLYWOOD HIGH
SCHOOL DOWNEY UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
THESE ARE EXAMPLES OF.
INSTITUTIONS IN COMMUNITIES
REPRESENTED BY WHAT THE PEOPLE
OF COLOR WHO ARE PARTNERING AND
WILL CONTINUE TO RAISE THE ISSUE
RAISE THE IT MAKE SURE THE
DIALOGUE CONTINUES. THAT WE WORK
HARD TO TO DIVERSIFY THE BELOW
THE LINE WORKFORCE WHO ARE THE
EMPLOYEES WHO WILL BENEFIT
DIRECTLY FROM THE EXTENSION OF
THE TAX CREDIT. THANK YOU SO
MUCH AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE
THAT. BELOW THE LINE WITH
THERE'S BEEN A MAJOR SUCCESS BUT
I THINK ALSO IT BEHOOVES US
GIVEN THAT IT IS CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYER MONEY. THAT WE FIGURE
OUT. HOW WE ALSO INCENTIVIZE IN
FRONT OF THE CAMERA AS WE KNOW?
APPROPRIATE REPRESENTATION
REPRESENT PROPER REPRESENTATION.
MAKES A WORLD OF A DIFFERENCE
FOR ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNG MINDS
AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT WE
CONTINUE.
STRUGGLE TO SEE PEOPLE OF COLOR
IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. AYE
MAYBE THIS IS A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY
TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND TO
INCENTIVIZE.
PEOPLE ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THIS APPROPRIATE TAX CREDIT.
AND THE WHICH IT COMES FROM
EVERY CALIFORNIA.
TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE CAN BE
CREATIVE WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.
AND THEN JUST AN ADDITIONAL NOTE
AND I'VE TALKED TO MAKE A FRIEND
QUAN ABOUT WHEN YOU SEE THE. THE
DYNAMISM HAPPENING IN DOWNTOWN
LA WHEN PEOPLE ARE FILMING.
IF YOU WILL CAN BE A LITTLE MORE
COURTEOUS SOME PEOPLE JUST
WALKING THE STREET I'M NOT
YELLING AT YOU.
SHUT UP BECAUSE OUR FILMING
GIVEN THAT THEY'RE USING
CALIFORNIATAX DOLLARS.
TO BE ABLE TO ALLOW PASSAGE
ACROSS THE STREET.
AND GO. ON OUR MERRY WAY.
NO OILY BLACK OR TO LET US IS TO
CATCH A BREAK IN THE ME HAVE A
LOCK ON ON MY
BE ABLE TO.
SO DISTRICT STATE SENATE GEOGHAN
FIND MY TRUE CALLING RIGHT. BUT
A POINT WELL TAKEN AND I'M GLAD
YOU RAISED IN THIS ROOM FULL OF.
INDUSTRY LEADERS WHO I'M SURE
WILL.
AND COMMUNICATE DEAF I WANNA
MAKE OR ISSUE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE.
FOR.
PROUD TO SUPPORT
THE MEASURE.
BUT YOU KNOW WE'RE ON THIS
TOGETHER AND LOW.
KEEP IN MIND THAT THE PERSON
THAT'S A SIMPLY WALKING BY IF
THE TAXPAYER AND CONTRIBUTING TO.
THE SUCCESS OF THE INDUSTRY AND
I OF AGAIN BUT I WOULD BE
HONORED TO HAVE TO MOVE THIS
BILL THANK YOU. TO TO CHEZ INTO
AND AND AND YOUR YOUR POINT.
POINTS ARE WELL TAKEN SENATOR
AND I WOULD SAY.
FOR US TO CONTINUE TO USE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT FRONT OF THE
CAMERA THAT IT'S NOT ONLY
REFLECTIVE BUT THE IMAGES THAT
ARE PORTRAYED ARE HEALTHY AND
WHOLE AARON REALISTIC. AND SO I
APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.
BECAUSE SO MUCH INTO IT IT'S
THIS SENATORS BEEN VERY FOCUSED
ON THE SCENE AS PART OF THE BILL
TO.
EACH STUDIO HASS BICU TO FILL
OUT.
AS PART OF THE APPLICATION TO
RECEIVE A TAX CREDIT.
THE DIVERSITY THE WORKFORCE
EMPLOYED BY THAT STUDIO OR BY
THE APPLICANT. SO THAT IS PART
OF THE REPORTING MECHANISM
BETTER REPORT THE DIVERSITY OF
THOSE WHO ARE BEING EMPLOYED AYE
IN ALL SECTORS OF THE FILMING
WHETHER IT'S BEHIND OR IN FRONT.
ON IN THAT HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THIS AND I THINK MORE
IMPORTANT THAN EVER IT'S WELL
I'VE BEEN ABLE HAVE THOSE
REPORTS WHICH STUDENTS ARE
CURRENTLY REPORTING NOW LET'S GO
TO SENATOR MORE LOCK.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH RICHER
SENATOR MITCHELL LIBRARY.
CAN I SHARED MY. CONCERNS ABOUT
TAX CREDITS WITH SENATOR
PORTANTINO BUT SINCE SENATOR
LORDS KIND OF BROUGHT UP.
ANOTHER ISSUE.
.
I'D LIKE TO DO SOMETHING THE
SAME BEING YOU AND I. HAVE THE
PLAYER EVER PLAY PRIVILEGED USE
ME OF SERVING ON THE.
JOINT RULES COMMITTEE ON SEXUAL
HARASSMENT WE DID ITS PREVENTION
AND RESPONSE.
AND WE'VE BEEN REAL FOCUSED ON
ONE WORD THAT'S CULTURE YES
AND SO CULTURE I'VE BEEN DOING.
THE LITTLE ANALYSIS ON CULTURE
YOU KNOW THE OBVIOUS HE STARTS
AT THE TOP OF IT. FROM ALSO
SENSING THAT IN THE STATE AID TO
START AT THE BOTTOM AS WELL. AND
MAYBE IN THE MIDDLE.
SO.
WE'VE WE'VE BEEN GIVING TAX
CREDITS TO INDIVIDUALS AND IT
REALLY MADE SOME. AWFUL
HEADLINES.
IN THIS INDUSTRY CAN AND SO THAT
MEANS THAT. WE'VE CONTRIBUTED TO
THE BEHAVIOR PERHAPS.
OF A HARVEY WEINSTEIN OR A
PRODUCER TOLD BACK.
AND THAT KIND OF.
MEANS THAT ALL THE TAXPAYERS OF
SORT OF.
CONTRIBUTED IN A WAY THROUGH
THERE THEY PAID TAX SOMEONE ELSE
GOT A TAX CREDIT.
AND SO WE'RE ALL KIND OF IN THIS
AND SO IT KINDA LEAVES AN
AWKWARD.
FEELING LEAST IN MY CASE.
THAT SOMEHOW FIVE.
WHO WOULD YOU KNOW IT APPEAL IT
WOULD KIND OF?
BEEN PART OF THIS.
UNFORTUNATE CULTURE'S ARE. I
JUST WANT TO JUST RAISE THAT AS
A AS A CONCERN.
.
AND I DID JUST JOBS LAID OUT
THERE I HAVE NO SPECIFIC
QUESTION I JUST WANTED TO. PUT
IT IF I MAY RESPOND PLEASE COME
ON IN MY OPENING I CLEAR FI COOL
INDEED.
ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE
TAX CREDIT AND WHO AND WHO.
AREN'T.
THE TAX CREDIT DOES NOT INCLUDE
WAGES PAID FOR WRITERS DIRECTORS
PRODUCERS OR ACTORS AND SO AS I
THINK ABOUT THE MEDIA COVERAGE
I'VE SEEN ABOUT THE INDUSTRY ON
AND THEIR STRUGGLE.
WITH A.
CORPORATE CULTURE BOND AND AND
POWER AND DOMINANCE IN THE AND
EXPERIENCE WOMEN HAVE IN THE
INDUSTRY. UP I DON'T KNOW THAT
I'VE HEARD.
BUT KEY GRIPS AND BELOW THE
LINE.
CALIFORNIA WORKERS WHO BOB HAD
MADE THOSE HEADLINES
AS A AS WE KNOW AS WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT IN THIS COMMITTEE A WILL
WE TALK ABOUT WORKPLACE
HARASSMENT SEXUAL HARASSMENT
SPECIFICALLY. IT IS THE POWER
DYNAMIC OF THE RELATIONSHIP.
AND THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL
BENEFIT DIRECTLY IN TERMS OF THE
CAST AND CREW AND THE BEHIND THE
THE BACKGROUND HIRES.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE STAR ON A
HAVE NOT BEEN REFLECTED SOME OF
THE MEDIA AND ALSO. IT IT'S A
DIFFERENT ISSUE WITH REGARD TO
THE POT POWER DYNAMIC I THINK
YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN AND
IT'S AN ISSUE THAT WE'RE ALL
ADDRESSED IN TERMS OF THE KIND
OF. CORPORATE CULTURE WORKPLACE
CULTURE THAT WE KNOW WHAT'S UP
APPROPRIATE AND HEALTHY FOR
EVERY INDUSTRY TO SURVIVE BEAT
THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY BUT
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE BIT
MANUFACTURERS BIG BUSINESS SMALL
BUSINESS.
AND SO I'VE HEARD YOU. BUT I
WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE CLEAR
THAT THOSE WHO WILL DIRECTLY
BENEFIT IN TERMS OF SALARY.
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE AREN'T THE
PEOPLE WHO'VE MADE THE HEADLINES
UP RECENTLY FROM THIS PARTICULAR
INDUSTRY OR SECTOR.
WELL IF A KEY GRIP IS GONNA BE
IN THE HEADLINES. IN MY
NEWSPAPERS TOO THICK.
BUT YEAH.
SO OBVIOUSLY THAT I GET THEIR
NOT GONNA MAKE IT'S WE'RE NOT
GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THEM BUT I I
WONDER IF THERE'S A PROVISION.
WHERE THERE IS AN ABILITY TO
SAY LOOK IF IF ANYONE IN
MANAGEMENT?
I OR SOMEONE SERIOUS IN YOUR
ORGANIZATION HAS IS.
PERPETRATING.
THIS PREDATORY KIND OF NONSENSE
THAT MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A
RISK OF LOSING A TAX CREDIT. AS
SOME WAY FOR THE STATE TO SAY
HEY WE'RE. WE'RE GONNA STEP UP
AND THEIR BATONS OCCURRENCES.
TO THOSE THAT HAVE MADE THE
HEADLINES
PROTECT THE KEY GRIPS AND
EVERYONE ON MY DOWN.
I'M I THINK WE ARE ARE STILL
VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESSOF THE
BILL AND WE WILL CONTINUE THE
DIALOGUE.
WOULD JUST SAY IN THE CONTEXT
OF OUR EXPERIENCE ON THIS
COMMITTEE WHERE WE HAVE STEPPED
UP AS THE LEGISLATURE. TO SAY
THAT WE DO HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
DESIGN A CULTURE AND DESIGN
POLICIES TO SELF POLICE IN TERMS
OF CORRECTING. RIGHTING OUR SHIP.
THAT THAT'S THE ROLE WE ARE
PLAYING IN CERTAIN IN THIS
COMMITTEE.
AND AND SO I DON'T KNOW AND
CAN'T COMMIT THAT WE WILL YOU
KNOW. THE MAKE THAT CREDIT
CONTINGENT UPON THIS INDUSTRY
STEPPING UP AND DOING THE RIGHT
THING.
IT IT.
BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY GET YOU
HAVE THE CONVERSATION ON I
APPRECIATE YOU RAISE IN THE
POINT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
SERVING AS CO CHAIR OF THAT
COMMITTEE. AND.
APPRECIATE WORKING WITH YOU
AFFECTED IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN.
THE TOPIC
FOR THIS YEAR AND I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T.
FORGET TO SOMEHOW WHERE WE CAN.
PROTECT WOMEN IN THIS INDUSTRY I
APPRECIATE YOU I THINK THE CEO
OF STARBUCKS DECISION YESTERDAY
TO CLOSE STARBUCKS FOR DAY. TO
ENGAGE ALL EMPLOYEES AN IMPLICIT
BIAS TRAINING IS A IN YET
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF.
CORPORATE CULTURE AND HOW IT
MUST BE.
RESPONSIVE TO ALL WORKERS AND.
THE GENERAL POPULATION HAND SO I

THAT.
WE ARE NOT FOCUS ON RURAL AREAS
OF THE STATE.
I'M A AND THOSE TAX CREDITS WERE
PRIMARILY BEING INVESTED IN
THOSE TRADITIONAL MARKETS ABOUT
WHERE THE STUDIOS ARE PRESENT.
BUT AND I GOTTA SAY THERE HAS
BEEN A SHIFT IN A ONE TO SAY.
GRATEFUL.
.
AND IF WE TAKE A LOOK AT FOR
EXAMPLE HUMBLE COUNTY OR DELMARK
COUNTY DELAWARE COUNTY SOME OF
THE. HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT RATES.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
BIRD BOX JUST WRAPPED UP OVER
MILLION DOLLARS IN SPENDING OVER
SEVERAL WEEKS THAT IN THAT SMALL

THANKS FOR THAT WONDERFUL
INTRODUCTION AS WELL.
MEMBERS.
MISTER BERRYHILL SUMMARIZED
VERY WELL THE HISTORY OF THE
FIRE TAX I WON'T GO INTO THAT
SIMPLY BUT WE DO BELIEVE.
FIRE P. IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
BECAUSE IT SHOULD REQUIRED A TWO
THIRDS VOTE THE LEGISLATURE
UNDER PROP THIRTEEN IMPROPER
TWENTY SIX.
HER JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO ADVANCE
AUSSIE ON THE GRUNDS THAT IT'S
UNCONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE THERE'S
NO DIRECT BENEFIT TO THAT THE
PAIR IN EXCHANGE FOR WHAT
THEY'RE PAYING. AND IT'S PRETTY
OBVIOUS THAT THERE'S NOT A
DIRECT BENEFIT WHEN WE TAKE IN
TWENTY ELEVEN FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS OF CAL FIRES BUDGET. AND
DIVERT ITS OTHER GENERAL FUND
PRIORITIES AND THEN BACK
FELL THAT MONEY OFF OF EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND.
PREDOMINANTLY RURAL HOMEOWNERS
IN STATE RESPONSIBILITY AREAS.
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S NO DIRECT
BENEFIT TO THE FEW PAIR ALL THIS
WAS WAS A PINE SHIFT.
AND.
AND FOR ALL THOSE RURAL
HOMEOWNERS MANY CAN'T AFFORD IT.
YOU KNOW THERE'S MANY MANY
PEOPLE NOW WE SEE THE TFA ON
PAYMENT PLANS ON INSTALLMENT
PLANS.
AND THIS IS UNICENTER BERRYHILL

HERE
I'M VERY GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE
WITH US TODAY THIS IS ITEM
SENATE BILL NINE FORTY SIX.
ASSIGN SIDEWALK VENDORS WERE
TURNED OVER
SENATOR LARA AND
BEFORE HE STARTS
WHAT'S IT THINK IT THE CENTER
LARA FOR ALL OF HIS WORK.
AT WITH THE COMMITTEE CAN TRULY
APPRECIATE THAT THAT PARTNERSHIP
IS WELL.
THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT ONE I
KNOW I DID CENTER LARA NEED.
THERE LARA THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS.
OR SO I WOULD JUST WANNA
APOLOGIZE SIMMONS LANCHESTER SHE.
LAST WEEK
I HAD A OTHER ENGAGEMENTS AND
KERN MISSED A MEETING.
ANSWER APOLOGIZE TO THE DEAN OF
OUR COMMITTEE.
MEMBERS THAT MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO START BY
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
SUGGESTED A TECH
MEN MEN SUSPECT
FIVE MP
SEVEN.
SO THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS AND
THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF.
FOR A CAR YOU CAN TO
THE WORK ON THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE.
MEMBERS ACROSS THE STATE TEND TO
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WORK A
SIDEWALK VENDORS.
SELLING FOOD ON THE PUMP ON
SIDEWALKS OR IN OUR PARKS.
WE HAVE TO START SEEING THESE
PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY ARE.
WOMEN
SENIORS SINGLE PARENTS AND MICRO
BUSINESS OWNERS
TAKING THE FIRST STEP TO
STARTING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.
THEY DON'T COME LOOKING FOR A
HANDOUT AND THEIR ART BEGGING ON
THE STREETS.
THE FOOD AND THE GOODS THEY SOW
HIS DICK IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FEEDING THEIR FAMILIES.
PAYING THE RENT AND
COMING HOMELESS.
BUT TOO OFTEN OUR LAW STREET
THEM AS A NUISANCE AND EVEN
CRIMINALS
OUR LAWS IGNORE THAT THEY ARE.
THAT MANY OF THEM ARE VICTIMS
THEMSELVES.
THEY FACE SHAKE DOWN FROM
BUSINESSES AND EXTORTION BY
CRIMINAL GANGS IN THE LOCAL AREA.
THAT FACE HARASSMENT FROM LOCAL
OFFICIALS AND POLICE WHO SHOULD
BE PROTECTING THEM.
THEY'RE ALREADY PAYING THE PRICE
OF THIS UNDERGROUND SYSTEM.
VENDORS ARE THE EYES AND EARS OF
OUR COMMUNITY.
AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE SAFETY OF
OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.
WE NEED A NEW PARADIGM WHAT WE
TALK ABOUT SIDEWALK VENDORS.
TODAY YOU WILL HEAR STORIES AND
FIRST OF STORIES FIRSTHAND.
THE STORY IS THAT YOU DO NOT
OFTEN HERE IN THE HALLS OF.
THE STATE CAPITOL OR IN A CITY
HALL.
BUT THESE ARE THE REAL STORIES
OF PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE ON THE
STREETS EVERYDAY.
WORKING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE
PART OF THE FORMAL ECONOMY.
THEY DON'T WANT TO WORK IN THE
SHADOWS
BUT OUR LAWS GIVE THEM NO CHOICE.
HE WANTS TO PLAY BY THE RULES
THEY WANT TO BUT.
PEOPLE TO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE.
BUT IN MOST PLACES IN CALIFORNIA
THE DECK IS ALREADY STACKED
AGAINST THEM.
MANY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND POSE
A NOT RIGHT PROHIBITION BUT ALSO
WHAT WENDY WHAT OTHERS IMPOSED
ABRONIA US RESTRICTIONS THAT
SEVERELY LIMIT. AND REGULATE
VENDORS TO THE UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY.
IT'S ARE OFTEN IMPOSSIBLE TO
OBTAIN AND VENDING WITHOUT A
PERMIT IS PROSECUTED AS A CRIME.
THE CRIMINALIZATION OF SIDEWALK
VENDING OF THE SIX
WE GET AND DEVASTATING
CONSEQUENCES
ESPECIALLY IN LOW INCOME AND
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.
BENDERS CHARGED WITH A
MISDEMEANOR CAN FACE PENALTIES
UP TO SIX MONTHS IN JAIL. AND A
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN FINES.
COURT FEES AND ASSESSMENTS CAN
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE
FINANCE FINANCIAL PENALTIES AS
WELL.
ADDITIONALLY MANY VENDORS REPORT
VERY QUICK MAN AND OTHER
PROPERTY.
I HAVE BEEN CONFISCATED DURING
ENFORCEMENT ENCOUNTERS CREATED
SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL AND
EMOTIONAL STRESS
AND THE IRONY OF THIS IS THAT
YOU OFTEN SEE THE CONFISCATED
EQUIPMENT. BEING USED BY CITY AT
CITY EVENTS AND FUNCTIONS.
A CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR
STREET VENDING CAN ALSO CARRY
SEVERE CONSEQUENCES FOR
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS VENDORS.
A CONVICTION MAY INCREASE AND
UNDOCUMENTED RESIDENTS PRIORITY
FOR REMOVAL UNDER THE DEPARTMENT
OF HOMELAND SECURITY PRIORITY
ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM.
UNDOCUMENTED VENDORS CAN.
BE AT HEIGHTENED RISK FOR
DEPORTATION EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT
ULTIMATELY CHARGED OR CONVICTED.
INFRACTIONS OFTEN TURN INTO
MISDEMEANORS AND VENDORS HAVE NO
OTHER CHOICE BUT TO ACTUALLY
SERVE JAIL TIME PREVENTING THEM
FROM PROVIDING FOR THEIR
FAMILIES AND ONCE THEY ARE
FORCED TO SERVE TIME. YOU KNOW
THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEM
BEING ABLE TO GRANT.
PROVIDE HOUSING FOR THE
FAMILIES AND EMPLOYMENT.
BUT SLIM TO NONE.
UNDER THE NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER ON
IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
TRUMP THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS ARTIST
INSTRUCTED TO PRIORITIZE FOR
DEPORTATION DOES WEB MERELY
COMMITTED ACTS
THAT CONSTITUTE A CHARGEABLE
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
SO STEVE NINE FORTY SIX WILL DO
THREE THINGS
WILL ALLOW LOCAL AUTHORITY TO
ADOPT A SIDEWALK VENDING PROGRAM
IN ORDER TO ADEQUATELY ENFORCE.
SIDEWALK BENDING BY ALLEGATIONS.
BY THAT ANYVIOLATION OF LOCAL
SIDEWALK AMENDING RULES
SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO
ADMINISTRATIVE ENALTY PROGRAM.
AND NOT
A CRIMINAL.
THE INSTRUCTION.
ESTABLISH MINIMUM SAFETY
STANDARDS TO GUIDE LOCAL
AUTHORITIES WHEN INITIATING
ASIDE WHAT MANDY PROGRAM.
SO THIS BILL WILL PROTECT
VULNERABLE SIDEWALK VENDORS AND
CREATE A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR
ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ECONOMIC
MOBILITY WHILE STILL PRESERVING
LOCAL CONTROL.
BY ENCOURAGING LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO ADOPT LOCAL
ORDINANCES THAT SUPPORT AND
REGULATE SIDEWALK MENDING
CITIES WILL BENEFIT FROM MICHAEL
BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURSHIP.
FORMALIZATION OF AN UNDERGROUND
ECONOMY AND PROVIDE THE
REGULATIONS PROTECTING PUBLIC
SAFETY. PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
LEGALIZING AND REGULATING
SIDEWALK FINDING AS MORE GROWING
LIKELY.
PRODUCE A COLLABORATIVE AND
MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL
RELATIONSHIPS
JEAN MOBILE VENDORS AND BRICK
AND MORTAR STORES. AGAIN WE
FULLY EXPECT TO TAKE AMENDMENTS
AT THIS MOBILES FORWARD AND WE
WILL WORK WITH THE CHAIR ON ANY
LANGUAGE THAT IS A CONCERN TO
THE COMMITTEE HERE TODAY. WHAT
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AYE
VOTE?
THANK YOU SO MUCH RICHER LARA WE
WELCOME AYE TO INDIVIDUALS BE TO
PROVIDE TESTIMONY OF TWO MINUTES
IF YOU DON'T MIND TO SITTING
YOUR FIRST AND LAST NAME WE
WELCOME YOU COULD TO.

DISPLACED FROM AN AREA THAT HAD

OUT TO ME WAS OF A SENIOR VENDOR
THAT WHISTLING PLANTS AND HAD
BEEN IN THAT PLACE.
FOR ALMOST FIFTEEN YEARS.
AND WE WANNA OFFICERS WHEN MASS
MEDIA PERMITS.
THEY SAID NO SO THEY TELL THEM
TO PICK UP HIS THINGS AND PUT
HIM IN HIS CAR.
TO DRIVE AWAY
AT THE MOMENT HE DRIVES AWAY THE
POLICE OFFICER STOPPED HIM
BECAUSE THEY KNEW HE DID HAVE A
DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THEN THEY
PICKED UP HIS CAR AND HE POUNDED.
THEY WERE HEARING THESE KIND OF
STORIES FROM DIFFERENT VENDORS

HOLLYWOOD AREA I'M STRONGLY
SUPPORT OR AND SPEED NINE FORTY
SIX THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
WE NOW WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
TURN IT OVER TO THOSE WHO MAY BE
OPPOSE WE WELCOME YOU.
I SO WHAT WE DO IN THE COMMITTEE
IS WE DO PROVIDE EQUAL TIME.
IF YOU CAN JUST PLEASE
INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR SOME LAST
ORGANIZATION IN THE FLOOR SOURCE
WHO LIKELY TO KICK US OFF.
A GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN
RESTORED THE JOHNSON OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF
COUNTIES. AND RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION TO SB NINE FORTY SIX
AND I REALLY DO ON EXPRESSING.
MY APPRECIATION TO THE AUTHOR
AND STAFFERS ENGAGING WITH US AS
FAR BACK AS NOVEMBER TO SEE HOW
WE CAN ADDRESS THIS.
DOES IT THIS ISSUE AND AND AND
IN A WAY THAT STRIKES A BALANCE
BETWEEN LOCAL CONTROL AND
STATEWIDE. ON REGULATION.
WHO REALLY WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE TOP ANALYSIS
IT'S ON MANY OF THE POINTS TO
CONCERNS THAT? ARE STILL
REMAINING FOR US FOR THIS BILL.
IS SIMPLY SILENT OR FALL SHORT
FAR FAR SHORT OF WHAT WE THINK
IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE
MEANINGFUL AND HELPFUL
REGULATION IN THIS AREA.
UNITS UP WHEN WE HAVE SOME
COUNTIES THAT HAVE AND
REGULATIONS IN PLACE TO ACTUALLY
LAST STRENUOUS UNLESS.
BURDENSOME ON STREET VENDORS.
DAM OF THE PROPOSED UNDER SP
FOUR SIXTY A. ABOUT FOUR NINE
FORTY SIX MY APOLOGIES.
ONE OF THE AREAS WERE REALLY
CONCERNED ABOUT IS.
OTHER LOCAL PERMITS AND THE
ORDER IN WHICH THEY CAN BE
GRANTED SO IF THERE IS A AYE
LICENSING SCHEME FOR STREET
VENDORS HOW DOES A POTENTIALLY
COMPLEX WITH.
PERMITS GIVEN TO FILM
PRODUCTIONS OR FUND RUNS OR
PARADES OR WEDDINGS.
THERE'S NO WAY TO RESOLVE THOSE
CONFLICTS POTENTIALLY.
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE
TREATMENT OF PARKS I'M WHICH
INCLUDE COASTLINE AND WATER
ACCESS AND MANY COUNTY PARKS.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE OVERLYING
ISSUE OF SPECIAL DISTRICTS WHICH
HAVE THEIR OWN GOVERNANCE AND
REGULATORY STRUCTURE ON AND
ABILITY TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT
PORTIONS OF PARK SPACE.
UNDER THEIR CONTROL
AND AND THEN IN ADDITION.
AND WE DO APPRECIATE THE
CONSIDERATION OF ADDING THAT
TELCO LANGUAGE TO ENSURE SAFE
FOOD HANDLING.
BUT WE DO HAVE OTHER CONCERNS
THAT WE'RE WORRIED WILL NOT FALL.
UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE
WELFARE HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
EXCEPTIONS SO.
IN CLOSING I WANT TO SAY WE DO
HOPE TO FIND AND ADMINISTRATIVE
SOLUTION FORWARD AND WE THINK WE
CAN GET THERE BUT RIGHT NOW THIS
BILL AGAIN FALLS VERY SHORT OF
PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT GUIDANCE.
AND AS TOO SILENT ON TOO MANY
ISSUES AND FOR THOSE REASONS
REMAIN OPPOSED AT THIS TIME.
TOO MUCH TO GIVE YOUR TESTIMONY
GOOD MORNING GOOD TO SEE HOSTAGE
OUR MEMBERS JOIN OF OR SOMETHING
OF THE URBAN COUNTIES OF
CALIFORNIA ALSO IN OPPOSITION.
ALSO VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR'S OWN WILLINGNESS TO
DISCUSS THESE ISSUES WITH THE
COUNTIES.
AND.
REALLY APPRECIATE THE.
IMPORTANCE OF SIDEWALK VENDORS
IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND THE
ECONOMIC IMPACT.
COUNTIES ARE JUST SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT IN THIS AREA THAN
CITIES.
NOT ALL COUNTIES ISSUE BUSINESS
LICENSE SO.
BY SAYING YOU HAVE TO HAVE THIS.
FRAMEWORKS FOR THOSE THAT DO
HAVE A THEY HAVE TO REDO ALL OF
THEIR ORDINANCES.
AND AND AND HAS A BUSINESS ON
SINCE THAT THERE ARE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE BILL AND WHERE ARE
CURRENTLY AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
ALSO WANT TO NOTE THAT.
THIS MAY IMPACT OF THE WORK THAT
COUNTIES HAVE DONE ON HEALTHY
CHOICES FOR SCHOOLS AND PRIME
PRIDE TO HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES
FOR OUR CHILDREN AND IS A LOT OF
THE URBAN CHINESE I KNOW THAT
HAVE DONE THAT NOT ONLY FOR
CHILDREN THAT FOR ADULTS.
SO WE JUST WANT TO BE SURE THAT
WE STILL HAVE AS MUCH
FLEXIBILITY AS WE CAN TO AYE

BUT I'D LIKE TO BE OF OPENING UP
FOR THE COMMITTEE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. ON.
TIM WATCHED YOUR QUESTION PLEASE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
SENATOR LARA I'M JUST CURIOUS BY
I LOOK THROUGH THE BILL AND I
DIDN'T SEE ANY MENTION ON SALES
TAX.
RESALE LICENSE NUMBERS ARE
WORKING WITH THE STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION
SINCE FOOD PREPARATION REQUIRES
A SALES TAX ON.
I'M WONDERING IF IT MIGHT GIVE
AND I MISS IT IN MY SCANNING TO
FATHOM THAT. YOU KNOW YOU
ACTUALLY WHAT THOSE ARE.
WERE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD NOW AND.
THE PLANETS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
SOME AMENDMENTS
SHOULD THIS BILL MOVED FORWARD
DURING THE APPROPRIATIONS FISCAL
ALCHEMY THE ANALYSIS TO PEOPLE
WERE SO TRYING TO TWEAK THAT OUT
AND GET SOME NUMBERS FROM THE
FUNDS HAVE SEX BUT. AS WE SPEAK
AND YOU MEAN STATE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION ANTI STAY PART OF
THE CLUB IS OF YES FIT IN IT IN
WE DO WE DO HAVE.
WE DO HAVE LANGUAGE IN THERE NOW
IT'S I JUST.
TURN ON THE BILL WITH ME.
YEAH SO I IT REQUIRED SIDEWALK
FINGERS TO POSSESS A VALID TOPIC
DEPARTMENT TAX AND FEE
MINISTRATION SELLERS PERMIT.
OKAY NIGHTMARE THAT THE ONE OF
THE OPPONENTS IS THE SWAP MEET
OWNERS ASSOCIATION.
AND I AND THERE IS MAY BE
PERMITTED ASKED HIM WHY HE
SUPPOSED.
BRIEFLY.
CONSIDER SINCE WE DID HAVE
OPPONENTS SIT AT THE TABLE HERE.
EVERY DAY IS IT.
IF YOU WANT I JUST COMPORTMENT
OVER HERE TO THE MIKE SIR.
SO CENTER BOATS ARE QUESTIONS
HELP ME OUT WHITEWATER YOU POST
THIS BILL.
SOON. HISTORICALLY THE SWAP MEET
OWNERS ASSOCIATION HAVE ALSO AT
TIMES BEEN PICKED OUT FOR
SPECIAL LEGISLATION
PROHIBITING SALES OF CERTAIN
PRODUCTS.
WE'VE HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN APPROACH
WHERE.
ON ANY MATTER IS ALMOST TO THE
CONDITIONS APPLY TO ONE LEVEL
BUSINESS IF THEY APPLY AT ALL
LEVELS.
A GOODEXAMPLE WAS THE.
FEW YEARS AGO THERE IS
LEGISLATION RELATED THE SALE OF
ANIMALS AT SWAP MEETS AND THE
COMPROMISE WAS.
APPLYING THE SAME STANDARDS THAT
OF CURRENT.
LIKE A BRICK AND MORTAR PET
STORE. TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF
VENDORS AND SO FOR US WITH THIS
FILM WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH
CENTER LARS OFFICE TO ENSURE
THAT YOU KNOW OUR VENDORS HAVE
TO MEET THE SAME.
.
GET THE PERMIT FROM CAL CODE FOR
SELLING FOOD THEY HAVE TO GET A
SELLER'S PERMIT DUH THE BEND THE
SWAMI DONORS ACTUALLY ACT AS
INTERFACE BETWEEN.
THE STATE AND THOSE VENDORS LA
COLLECTION SALES TAX
SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT.
IF THIS WAS GOING TO BE.
CHANGES ARE GONNA BE MADE THAT
THEY APPLY EQUALLY WHETHER
YOU'RE.
SUPER WALMART STORE A VENDOR ONE
OF OUR SLOT NEEDS FOR A STREET
VENDOR. YOU'RE SAYING NO BETTER
NO WORSE EXACTLY AND THAT'S OUR
INTENT.
HOW DOES YOUR INDUSTRY IS DOING
A GOOD JOB OF COLLECTING OR
HELPING?
THE STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
BECAUSE WE WORK VERY CLOSELY
STATE BOARD KNOWS OUR VENDORS
VERY WELL WE COLLECT.
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE
TO DO WHEN YOU COME
IF YOUR REGULAR VENDOR AT A SLOT.
THE THOUGHT PEOPLE WERE
IDENTIFYING.
ADDRESS NAME.
FOR THE COLLECTION THOSE
REVENUES.
THINK THINK YOU FORGET THAT
pAPPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU
STRUCTURE THE LAST QUESTION
WOULD BE THAT. IT'S A OF THE ONE
OF BALLOTS JUST TRYING TO.
FIGURE OUT I'VE GOT TO GET ALL
THESE BUSINESSES THEIR
FRANCHISES PEOPLE THAT ARE
INVESTING IN.
YOU KNOW YOUR NAME THE FRANCHISE
TO PROVIDE FOOD SERVICE AND.
SO THEY'RE HIRING IN THERE
PAYING THE PAYROLL TAXES IN THE
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND
WORKERS COMP AND. ITS OTHER ALL
TAKING THE RISK OF THEIR
PERSONAL CAPITAL TIME.
AND AND SO YOU HAVE COMPETITORS
COMING IN.
AND SO I'M I'M JUST WONDERING
HOW WE.
IN A STRIKE THE BALANCE THAT
WE'RE WE'RE FAIR TO.
EVERYONE THAT'S TRYING TO MAKE A
LIVING AND PUT FOOD ON THEIR
TABLES AND YOU KNOW RAISE OUR
KIDS YOU KNOW ALL THE SAME
ARGUMENTS WOULD COME FROM A.
PRICE FROM THE SENATE AND YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT CENTER MORE
LOCK IN THIS IS WHERE WHERE WE
ONE HAVE.
CONTINUE DIALOGUES ALSO LISTA
THIS SEVERAL STUDIES THAT
INDICATE THAT. BUSINESSES THAT
HAVE US A SIDEWALK VENDOR
ACTUALLY DO MUCH BETTER.
AND THE OTHER THING TO THAT AND
AND DO THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HAS.
THAT BUT YES ARE BECOME MORE
STORES ARE TAKING A PARTICULAR
TAKING OPPORTUNITY THEY ALSO
MAKE A LOT MORE MONEY. THAN THE
STREET VENDOR SO.
IT'S HONESTLY ALWAYS APPLES TO
APPLES BUT THIS IS WHY WE WANTED
TO HAVE THIS DIALOGUE WE TOLD
YOU RESPECT.
THAT ARE ARE BRICK AND MORTARS
RESTAURANTS.
FAR ALSO TRYING TO MAKE A
LIVING AND WE'VE PROVEN THAT
THEY CAN COEXIST WOULD FUNCTION
AT THE RULES AND REGULATIONS.
APPLY FAIRLY TO EVERYONE AND
ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE TO ALSO AND
I KNOW THAT SEVERAL OF OUR
STREET SIDEWALK VENDORS.
ARE NOW OPENING BUSINESSES
AND THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR THEM TO TAKE A RISK AND TO
TO SEE AND BE ABLE TO MASTER AND
AND PHONE IN THEIR PRODUCT AND
I'LL TELL YOU.
OF A STORY FROM MY OWN
COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR HAS HIS
FAMILY AND HIS OUR FATHER AND
MOTHER IN LAW STARTED AT STREET
VENDORS. IN DAHLE GARDENS IN MY
DISTRICT AND NOW OPENED THEIR
FIRST.
TOPPLERESTAURANT IN RIVERSIDE
AND SO YOU SEE THESE.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS AND AND
INDICATORS ALSO.
IMPROVE AS STREET VENDORS ARE
YOU ABLE TO TO DO THEIR JOB AND
SO WE'RE VERY SENSITIVE OF THE
LOCAL CONTROL ISSUE. WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT.
WE STRIKE THE APPROPRIATE
BALANCE AND I HOPEFULLY.
AS THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD WILL
CONTINUE TO TO TEASE THAT OUT
AND WILL KEEP THIS COMMITTEE AND
THE CHAIRMAN INFORMED OF OUR
PROGRESS.
I CAN NO YOU HAVE TO SAY THAT IN
THE EIGHTEEN HUNDREDS.
AFTER WHAT THAT PUT THE START OF
THE GOLD RUSH ATLANTA JEWISH
PEDDLERS THAT STARTED GET.
PRETTY AMAZING BUSINESSES AND
RETAIL.
CHANGE ZERO THE STATE'S I PREACH
APPRECIATE THAT.
BY GOING TO STRIKE THE BALANCE
