MR SECRETARY PLEASE READ.
SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION TWENTY
BY SENATOR HERTZBERG RELATIVE TO
ELECTRICITY CENTER HERTZBERG.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT THIS MEASURE URGES THE
PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.
TO WORK TOGETHER TO IMPLEMENT
GRID HARDENING MEASURES TO HELP
ENSURE OUR NATION'S CRITICAL.
ELECTRICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IS
PROTECTED FROM THREATS OF
ELECTRIC MAGNETIC IMPULSES AND
PHYSICAL ATTACKS ON THE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
ONE MIGHT ASK WHY WOULD WE DO
SUCH A RESOLUTION.
COUPLE REASONS
FIRST.
I THINK IT'S THE ROLE OF
GOVERNMENT TO GET AHEAD OF
PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY BECOME
PROBLEMS.
YOU MIGHT ASK WILL WHY DO YOU
THINK ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPULSE
ATTACK ON THE GRID IS A
PARTICULAR PROBLEM WILL JUST IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY NINE IN QUEBEC
THERE WAS A ELECTROMAGNET POSTED
SHUT THE SYSTEM DOWN COST OVER A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. IN THE
SYSTEM FURTHER WHAT WE'RE SEEING
IS OTHER COUNTRIES CHINA EVEN
THE INDIA OTHER STATES THE E. U.
DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT IN THIS
ELECTRIC GRID HARDENING WE SEE
JUST LAST MONTH THE FBI COMING
OUT WITH FURTHER REPORTS TALKING
ABOUT. OUR EXPOSURE AND WHAT'S
HAPPENED IS WE ARE CAUGHT IN
GRIDLOCK IN THE SENSE OF WHETHER
IT'S THE DEPARTMENT DEFENSE FOR
HOMELAND SECURITY OR INVESTOR
OWNED UTILITIES AND WO'S GOING
TO PAY FOR. WHAT WE DO NOT
ALWAYS THERE'S EXAMPLE AFTER
EXAMPLE IN SAN JOSE RELATIVELY
RECENTLY A NUMBER OF TERRORIST
ATTACK TO SYSTEM WHICH SET THE
SYSTEM DOWN FOR A MONTH? AND
THANK GOD THERE WERE BACKUP
SYSTEMS AND THEY DID IT WITH
VERY FEW. A VERY LITTLE AMOUNT
OF EFFORT.
WE ARE RELYING MORE AND MORE ON
ELECTRICITY FOR EVERYTHING THAT
WE DO IN OUR SOCIETY HOW WE PUMP
WORE HER.
HOW HOW WE ARE ORG HOSPITALS
OPERATE EXAMPLE AFTER EXAMPLE SO
ON THE ONE HAND WE'RE OUT HERE
RELYING ON THIS TECHNOLOGY? ON
THE OTHER HAND WE GOT A WHOLE
YOU COULD DRIVE A TRUCK THROUGH
THERE ARE DOZENS OF REPORT CITED
THE RESOLUTION ABOUT.
THREATS AND ASSESSMENTS AND
REPORTS IT'S TIME FOR ACTION IT
REQUIRES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE IN
IMPORTANT FOR CALIFORNIA TO MAKE
A STATEMENT ABOUT THIS THAT'S
WHY DO SISTERS LUCIEN THAT'S WHY
ASK YOUR VOTE ON THIS MEASURE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU CENTER
HERTZBERG SENATOR JACKSON.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES I TO RISE AND IN
SUPPORT OF ITS SHARE TENTY IS
THE CHAIR OF THE JOINT.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE ON
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT.
I FREQUENTLY HEARD ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL IMPACT THAT PHYSICAL
AND CYBER VULNERABILITIES COULD
HAVE ON OUR CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING OUR
ELECTRICAL GRIDS SENATE THE GOOD
SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES. HAS
ARTICULATED.
INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS IN
FACT HAPPENED AND AS OUR SOCIETY
BECOMES MORE CONNECTED ANNA'S
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION TECHNIQUES
DEVELOPED. WERE ABLE TO OPERATE
MUCH MORE OF OUR CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS NATURAL
GAS PIPELINES WATER CONVEYANCE
ELECTRIFY ENERGY TRANSMISSION
AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS.
MUCH MORE EFFICIENTLY BUT
WITHOUT EFFICIENCY COMES AND
COST.
AND FOR YEARS NOW IS MENTIONED
HACKERS HAVE ATTACKED
CALIFORNIA'S NINE ONE ONE SYSTEM
FOR EXAMPLE THROUGH COMPUTER
NETWORKS RESULTING IN SYSTEM
DEGRADATION AND POTENTIAL
OUTAGES THAT COULD HAVE FATAL
CONSEQUENCES AND WE'VE SEEN WHAT
HAPPENS. WHEN OUR EMERGENCY
SYSTEMS GO DOWN AND THE LOSS OF
LIFE THE CANON HAS IN FACT
OCCURRED IN ASIDE FROM CYBER
VULNERABILITIES ARE GREAT HAS
CERTAIN FELT PHYSICAL
VULNERABILITIES AS WELL. THAT IF
EXPLOITED COULD RESULT IN
PROLONGED POWER OUTAGES TO LARGE
SWATHS OF OUR STATE. AND YEARS
AGO WHEN WE SAW WITH SOME OF
THESE BROWNOUTS WHAT THOSE
IMPACTS CAN BE WHEN OUR
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES DOWN. AND
LAST YEAR DURING OUR HEARING.
SERIES ON MEGA QUAKES THE JOINT
COMMITTEE EXAMINED SOME OF THE
PHYSICAL VULNERABILITIES OFF OUR
ELECTRICAL GRID IN AREAS WHERE
TRANSMISSION LINES CROSS
EARTHQUAKE FAULTS FOR EXAMPLE.
WITH AREN'T WELL OUR EMERGENCY
MANAGERS AND UTILITIES ARE
TAKING STEPS TO ADDRESS GRID
VULNERABILITIES MORE NEEDS TO BE
DONE. AND IT IS CRITICAL THAT
OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS PRIORITIZES
GRID HARDENING IN PROTECTION
PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE
EVENTS THAT WE'VE JUST HEARD
THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME. THAT SEEM TO BE
INCREASING BECOMING MORE INTENSE.
BOB FROM FOREIGN NATIONS WHERE
THEY HAVE.
SUCCESSFULLY DISABLED ARE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AS PART OF A
CYBER WARFARE CAMPAIGN THIS IS
NOT A MOVIE THIS IS NOT THE
FUTURE THIS IS NOW AND SO WE
MUST ACT. AND I WANT TO THANK
THE GOOD SENATOR FROM LOS
ANGELES FOR BRINGING THIS
IMPORTANT RESOLUTION FORWARD AND
TO AS WE GO FOR WE HAVE TO
RECOGNIZE THE POWER. OF THIS
KIND OF A VULNERABILITY AND WHAT
A FOREIGN NATIONS IN PARTICULAR
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO AND ARE
STILL PLANNING TO DO TO FURTHER
UNDERMINE OUR SAFETY OUR
SECURITY. AND OUR FUNCTIONING
DEMOCRACY WITH THAT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
BIG YOU SOONER JACKSON CENTER
MORLOCK.
THANK YOU MADAM MADAM HOOCH
BENNETT PRESIDENT I ALSO RISE IN
SUPPORT OF S..
J. R. TWENTY.
IN THIS RESOLUTION ITS FOCUS BUT
EXTREMELY CRITICAL.
OF THE RESOLUTION DOES NOT
MENTION HOWEVER AT THAT AGREED
THAT IS NOT HARDENED IS ALSO A
POTENTIAL.
FOR THE CAUSE OF WILDFIRES.
WE SAW THIS IN TRAGIC
PROPORTIONS IN SANTA ROSA AND
AROUND THE STATE AND WE ALL KNOW
THAT THE DATA IN THE STATISTICS
INCLUDING THE MANY. LIVES LOST
MORE THAN FORTY FOUR. AND
WILDFIRES ALSO COLLEAGUES
GENERATE MORE GREENHOUSE GASES
IN TWO AND A HALF DAYS.
THEN ALL THE CARS IN CALIFORNIA
DRIVING FOR ONE YEAR.
SO IF. SACRAMENTO IS SERIOUS
ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE IT BUT
SERIOUS ABOUT.
ELECTRIFYING CARS IF IT'S
SERIOUS ABOUT SAVING LIVES THEN
WE NEED TO HARDEN THESE
POWERLINES.
THE GOOD SENATOR FROM LOS
ANGELES MANSION YOU COULD DRIVE
A TRUCK THROUGH SOME OF THE
LOOPHOLES.
THERE'S A RECENT STUDY THAT WAS
DONE.
BY FINANCIAL TIMES THEY SAID
THAT A TEST FOR TRUCK.
WILL NEED FOUR THOUSAND HOMES TO
RECHARGE.
WE'RE TALKING SERIOUS
ELECTRICITY MOVING UP AND DOWN
THE STATE WITH THE SERIOUS GRID.
AND SO.
IF IF WE CAN JUST GET SERIOUS
ABOUT GREENHOUSE GASES AND CLOSE
THE LOOPHOLES WE NEED TO START
BY USING CAP AND TRADE FUNDING.
TO FIX OUR POWERLINES WE HAVE
THE RESOURCES WE NEED TO HELP
THE UTILITIES WE NEED TO GET
THIS FIXED BECAUSE AS WILL THE
SENATOR FROM SANTA BARBARA
MENTIONED WE LOSE THESE
POWERLINES THE WHOLE STATE.
STOPS SO WE NOT ONLY NEED TO
SEND A MESSAGE TO OUR PRESIDENT
BUT WE NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE TO
OUR GOVERNOR TO. IMPLEMENT THE
HARDENING. OF OUR.
POWER GRID THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT THANK YOU SENATOR
MORLOCKS SENATOR ALLEN NEVER
MIND. SOONER ERTZBERG WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE.
APARTMENT CENTER HERTZBERG
THINNER NIELSEN.
META PUZZLE AGENT IN THE SENATE
I'D LIKE TO.
FOLLOW OF MY. DISTINGUISHED
COLLEAGUE FROM ORANGE COUNTY'S
RIFF REFERENCE TO THESE
CATACLYSMIC FIRES. THAT ARE
OCCURRING.
AND THEY DO JEOPARDIZE THE
SYSTEM.
AND ONE OF THE ELEMENTS OF THIS
IS FOR DECADES.
IN THE FOREST IN THE WILD LANDS.
THE POLICY HAS BEEN TO LET ALL
OF THE BRUSH
ACCUMULATE.
TO NOT TOUCH THEM.
NOT CLEAN THEM UP. THAT AFTER
FIRES NOT GET RID OF THE SNAKES.
WELL THAT HAS CHANGED IN THE
LAST TWO YEARS.
FINALLY ENOUGH FOR THESE FIRES
HAVE AFFECTED ENOUGH
CALIFORNIANS THAT.
THERE IS A CHANGE IN POLICY
WHEREBY.
THE POLICY IS TO MANAGE OUR
FOREST IN OUR WILD LANDS.
AND ONE OF THE ELEMENTS OF THAT.
OVER THE DECADES.
EVEN THE POWER COMPANIES.
HAVE BEEN IMPEDED ON OCCASION.
BY POLICY.
FROM CLEARING. THERE RIGHT AWAY.
OF THAT BLUSH THAT IS NEAR TO
WHERE THE POWER LINES ARE. AND
WHEN THEY BREAK AS THEY WILL.
THEN THE FUEL IS RIGHT HANDY
BLUNDER NATHAN.
SO THIS IS ALSO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
OF THE PROGRESS IN THE TURN OF
THE TIDE. WHEREBY WE WILL BE
PROTECTING THE FORCE IN WILD
LANDS TO ENSURE THAT THESE
CATACLYSMIC FIRES DO NOT HAVE
THAT FUEL. DEFEAT THEM.
THANK YOU SENATOR NIELSEN CENTER

THE CLEARING MAY IS MENTAL
HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH.

LEADING CAUSES.
OF DISABILITIES IN THE UNITED
STATES.
AFFECTING ONE OUT OF FOUR
FAMILIES.
FIFTY SEVEN MILLION AMERICANS

RECEIVE ACTUAL TREATMENT.
LAST YEAR.
NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF ALL PEOPLE

ILLNESS TO NOT RECEIVE MENTAL
HEALTH TREATMENT DUE TO STATE
WHILE.
LACK OF COMMUNITY BASED
RESOURCES.
INADEQUATE DIAGNOSIS OR JUST
PLAIN NO DIAGNOSIS.
AMONG AMERICA CALIFORNIA DOES
ONE IS SIX CAL BILLION IN
CALIFORNIA HAS A MENTAL HEALTH
NEEDS.
AND APPROXIMATELY ONE IN TWENTY
SUFFER FROM.
SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS THAT

TO CARRY OUT.
MAJOR LIFE ACTIVITIES.
THE RATE OF MENTAL ILLNESS AMONG
CALIFORNIA CHILDREN'S ACTUALLY
EVEN HIGHER.
ONE OF THIRTEEN.
SUFFER FROM A MENTAL ILLNESS
THAT LIMITS PARTICIPATION.
IN THEIR DAILY ACTIVITIES.
A MASS A AN ESTIMATED SEVENTY
PERCENT OF ALL YOUTH IN THE
JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM. HAVE AT

CONDITION.
AT LEAST TWENTY. PERCENT LIVE
WITH SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESSES YOU
SEE UNDIAGNOSED.

HEALTH PROBLEMS BEFORE THEY
ENTERED.
INTO THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
NOW NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF IT WITH
A DIAGNOSABLE MENTAL ILLNESS DO
NOT. RECEIVE.
OF MENTAL HEALTH.
.
DO THE STIGMA.
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
AREAS THAT THE LEGISLATURE CAN
PLAY A BIG ROLE. IN.
HELPING AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE
DOING WHAT WE'RE DOING TODAY.
WE MUST CONTINUE TO BATTLE.
AND MAKE GAINES.
AND WORK TOGETHER.
AND I APPLAUD THE MEMBERS THAT
HAVE JOINED WITH ME.
AND.
THE SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
MENTAL HEALTH.
AND THE MENTAL HEALTH CAUCUS.
THE MIDDLE HELL CAUCUS IN THE
SELECT COMMITTEE MENTAL HEALTH.
HAVE IN MY MIND QUIETLY PRODUCED
LESSIG HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT
BODY OF LEGISLATION.
IN THE AREA OF MENTAL HEALTH.
AND I LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT
ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ISSUE.
THEY CAME OUT OF THOSE CAUCUS
THE CAUCUS IN THE SELECT
COMMITTEE HAVE BEEN DONE ON A
BIPARTISAN BASIS SO IT'S ONE OF
THE TRUE.
SUCCESS IS WE'VE HAD. IN WORKING
TOGETHER. THAT WE'RE NOT RED OR
BLUE BUT ALL GREEN.
SO WE HAVE TO APPLAUD THE
SUCCESS OF THE SENATE.
AND CREATING A BIPARTISAN.
APPROACH TO MENTAL HEALTH.
WE WE WE CONTINUE TO BATTLE
INSURANCE REGULATORY BARRIERS.
TO PARODY AND TREATMENT ACCESS.
AND RIGHT NOW OUR JAILS SERVE AS
A MAJOR REPOSITORY.
OF PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS
AND WE CONTINUE TO FIGHT.
TO REDUCE THAT SITUATION.
WE'RE ALSO FACING.
.
A CRADLE SH CRITICAL SHORTAGE.
OF TRAIN MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS.
AND WELL CALIFORNIA HAS MADE
SIGNIFICANT STRIDES.
FORWARD IN THE PAST SHOULD.
PASSAGE OF THE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES ACT.
PROPOSITION SIXTY THREE WE CAN
DO MUCH MORE.
EACH OF YOU KNOW HAVE A VIBRANT
GREEN.
TIE A RIBBON OR SHAW.
AND.
WE THANK YOU FOR. DISPLAYING
YOUR SUPPORT.
AND.
YOUR WORK INDIVIDUALLY.
AND AT THAT ATTEMPTING TO REDUCE
STATE MA. AND TO SUPPORT MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA.
I REQUEST THAT I VOTE ON THIS
RESOLUTION.
ONE TWO SEVEN MADAM PRESIDENT
YOU SENATOR BILL SENATOR ATKINS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT.
COLLEAGUES I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF S. SEE ARE ONE TWENTY
SEVEN AND I WANT TO THANK OUR
GOOD SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE. FOR
HIS INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ISSUE.
FOR TOO LONG IN THIS COUNTRY
MENTAL ILLNESS HAS BEEN TABOO IN
TERMS OF A TOPIC OF DISCUSSION.
AND IN OUR DISCOURSE AND MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES HAVE BEEN AN
AFTERTHOUGHT IN OUR HEALTHCARE
SYSTEM.
WE'VE TREATED MENTAL HEALTH CARE
SOMEHOW SEPARATE FROM WHILE.
AND SECOND TO THE REST OF OUR
HEALTH CARE NEEDS.
WE'VE KNOWN FOR SOMETIME AND
THAT'S JUST NOT HEALTHY.
WE KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES CAN BE
COSTLY AND EVEN DEADLY. WE'VE
BEEN WORKING HARD TO BREAK DOWN
THESE ARTIFICIAL FIREWALLS THAT
LEAVE SO MANY PEOPLE WITHOUT THE
CARE AND SUPPORT. THAT THEY NEED
TO LIVE THEIR LIVES
BUT WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO
GO. OUR HOSPITALS ARE COMMUNITY
CLINICS AND HEALTH CENTERS MUST
BE ABLE TO SEAMLESSLY PROVIDE
SAME DAY TREATMENT FOR BOTH
PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH.
WE NEED MORE RESOURCES LIKE
WRAPAROUND SERVICES WE NEED
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR
CHRONICALLY HOMELESS INDIVIDUALS
WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM MENTAL
ILLNESS WE SEE IT IN OUR CITIES
IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AS WE. GO
ABOUT OUR DAILY LIVES PEOPLE ON
THE STREETS THAT WE KNOW ARE
SUFFERING FROM MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES AND THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT
SUPPORT. AND A STABLE HOUSE TO
LIVE IN.
WE NEED TO EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES FOR OUR VETERANS
DEALING WITH TRAUMA. WE NEED ARE
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO HAVE
MORE RESOURCES AND TRAINING. TO
BE ABLE TO SAFELY DE ESCALATE
ENCOUNTERS WITH INDIVIDUALS
SUFFERING FROM MENTAL ILLNESS.
A LOT OF THIS CAN BE
ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH LEGISLATION
AN APPROPRIATION.
BUT WE ALSO NEED A CULTURE
CHANGE TO A RACE THE STUBBORN
REMNANTS OF STIGMA. THAT OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN JOSE
MENTIONED AND THE SOCIAL
ISOLATION THAT SO OFTEN
SURROUNDS MENTAL ILLNESS.
WE CAN'T JUST LEGISLATE THAT
CULTURE CHANGE
SO WE NEED TO EDUCATE AND WE
NEED TO RAISE AWARENESS.
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING WHAT
WE'RE DOING TODAY. IT'S WHY I
WANT TO THANK THE SENATOR FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND I'M
VERY PROUD TO SUPPORT SCR ONE
TWENTY SEVEN. AS WE SEEK TO A
RATE TO RAISE OUR OWN AWARENESS
AND I URGE SUPPORT FOR THIS SCR.
THANK YOU SENATOR ATKINS FULLER
GAINES.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT I JUST.
WANT TO RECOGNIZE AND THANK THE
GOOD SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE FOR.
BRINGING FORWARD SCR ONE TWENTY
SEVEN.
AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE
LIFT UP THIS ISSUE AND CONTINUE
TO DO SO.
I IN THE LEGISLATURE AND.
.
JUST WANTED TO YOU.
.
I ALSO AGREE WITH.
THE SENATE.
PRO TEM.
IN TERMS OF THIS ISSUE OF STIGMA.
AND CULTURE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS.
THAT PEOPLE REALIZE MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES ARE.
EARLIER A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE.
AND THAT REALLY NO DIFFERENT
THAN CANCER.
OR HEART DISEASE OR ANYTHING OF.
THAT NATURE AND SHOULD BE
TREATED AS SUCH.
AND I BUT I DID SUPPORT.
CENTER STEINBERG'S LEGISLATION
IN THE PAST.
THAT PROVIDED PARITY.
AS FAR AS HEALTHCARE IS
CONCERNED AND.
SO ON WANT TO THANK CAB TO GET
SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE FOR
BRINGING THIS ISSUE FORWARD.
THAT.
THIS IS A TIME TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY THE CULTURE.
WILL RECOGNIZE HIS I THINK IT
IS I THINK IT'S GETTING BETTER
IN THAT RESPECT AND WE HAVE
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES TO THE
PEOPLE.
CAN BE.
COMPLETELY FUNCTIONAL.
WITH THE PROPER COUNSELING AND
MEDICATION.
AND LET OF.
.
FULL IN NORMAL LIVES AND SO. AND
IT'S A VERY EXCITING PROSPECT
FOR THE FUTURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR GAME CENTER
NIELSEN.
MADAM PRESIDENT LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN THE SENATE.
I WANT TO THANK OUR
DISTINGUISHED COLLEAGUE FROM.
SENATE SAY FOR HIS LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ISSUE.
THIS IS A SENATOR WHO LEADS WITH
HIS HEART.
ON ISSUES THAT AFFECT THE HEART.
AND WHAT DO I MEAN BY THAT HEART.
IT'S IT'S BEYOND JUST AN
INDIVIDUAL IT'S MANY.
MILLIONS.
THEN TO MY ATTENTION AS A VERY
YOUNG FARMER SERVING IN THE
SENATE AND REPRESENTING.
NAPA COUNTY.
NAPA STATE HOSPITAL. IN CINEMA
STATE HOSPITAL.
NAPA.
DEALT WITH DEALS WITH MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES.
AND CINEMA DEVELOPMENTALLY
DISABLED.
NOW WITH MY KNEE IT THAT THEY.
GOING AND TOURING THOSE
FACILITIES.
WAS QUITE A SHOCK.
BUT THEN IT WAS EXPANDED MANY
MANY YEARS LATER WHEN I BECAME
CHAIRMAN THE BOARD PRISON TERMS.
AND BEGIN TO DEAL WITH TENS OF
NO RATHER HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF INDIVIDUALS WHO.
OR CRIMINAL OFFENDERS.
THE CONSTANT IN THE LIVES.
OF NINETY PERCENT OF THOSE NOW I
HAVE NO STATISTICS OR SURVEYS.
TO VALIDATE. THAT'S JUST A GUT
INSTINCT BASED ON. HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF REVIEW OF FILES.
BUT THAT GREAT MAJORITY.
THE ONE THING CONSTANT.
A BROKEN HEART.
THE BROKEN HEARTED MANY CASES.
BEGAN IN THE WORLD.
LACK OF GUIDANCE.
LACK OF CONSEQUENCES.
AND LACK OF CARE.
SOME.
STIGMA.
THAT HAS AFFECTED OTHERS
FEELINGS TOWARDS THEM.
IN THE SEVENTIES THERE WAS A DE
INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
THE DD HOSPITALS IN MENTAL
HOSPITALS.
HAPPENED AGAIN WITH REALIGNMENT
MOST RECENTLY.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THAT.
BUT AS WE DE INSTITUTIONALIZE IT.
THOSE WERE PUT OUT ON TO THE
STREETS.
IN NEED OF CARE AND SUPPORT.
AND THE RESOURCES IN OUR
COMMUNITIES OR LACKING.
WE DIDN'T BIG THOSE UP BEFORE WE
PUT PEOPLE OUT.
FOR EXAMPLE IN THAT THERE'S NOW
VIRTUALLY NO PAROLE.
INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN
ON PAROLE WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN
REQUIRED AS A CONDITION OF
PAROLE TO CHECK IN AT THE PEARL
OUTPATIENT CLINIC.
WHERE?
PROFESSIONALS COULD AT LEAST.
DETERMINE IF MAYBE THEY HAVE.
DECOMPENSATED.
ARE OFF THEIR MARRIAGE.
AND INTERVENE.
TO SUSTAIN THEM.
BUT GETTING BACK ON TRACK.
AND IT ISN'T ONLY CRIMINAL
OFFENDERS AT ALL.
BRIDGETTE FOR POSTTRAUMATIC
STRESS SYNDROME.
IS NOT ONLY A FACTOR.
AFFECTING OUR MILITARY.
BUT JUST A REGULAR CITIZEN.
WHO'S HAD A TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE.
HAS POST TRAUMATIC. STRESS
SYNDROME I'M NO DOCTOR I'M
RELYING ON DOCTORS WHO HAVE
COMMENTED TO ME ABOUT THIS.
SO IT DOES NEED TO BE.
OF INCREASING PRIORITY. TO ALL
OF US.
AND THE GOOD SENATOR.
FROM SAN JOSE HAS PROVIDED GREAT
LEADERSHIP.
I'M HONORED TO SERVE IN THAT
CAUCUS.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A
GOOD WAY.
TO ACKNOWLEDGE TO THE MASSES OF
CALIFORNIA.
HELD PORTENT METAL HEALTH
INTERVENTION IS.
THANK YOU SENATOR NIELSEN
SENATOR GLAZER.
THANK YOU I'M THAT I'M PRESIDENT
MEMBERS AYE AYE SOMETHING RISE
TO ADD MY VOICE TO MANY WHO HAVE
SPOKEN OUT THIS MORNING.
ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS ISSUE
IS I. I JOIN YOU MIKE WITH MY
COLLEAGUES AND THANK HIM.
ARE SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE FOR
HIS LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.
AND A WHOLE ARRAY OF ISSUES IN
THIS.
SPACE.

AND AND YOUR LEADERSHIP.
I.
EVERYBODY WHO WAS LISTENING TO
MY TO MEET TODAY IN THIS CHAMBER
KNOWS SOMEONE.
WHO'S GOING THROUGH A MENTAL
HEALTH.
PROBLEMS.
AND I'M SURE THAT'S THE CASE FOR
THOSE WHO HEAR OUR VOICES
OUTSIDE OF OUR CHAMBERS TODAY.
AND FOR MANY.
THEY REALIZE IT'S.
AND THEY'RE TAKING ACTION WITH
THE SUPPORT OF THEIR FAMILIES
AND LOVED ONES.
THEY'RE REACHING OUT FOR THE
HELP THAT THE IS OUT THERE AND
IS SO IMPORTANT OF THERE. ARE
THRIVING IN A IN THE FUTURE BUT
FOR SO MANY OTHERS THE. THEY ARE
TAKING THAT STEP. AND I THINK
THAT THE. IMPORTANCE OF THE
RESOLUTION THAT'S BEFORE US THIS
MORNING. IS TO LET THOSE PEOPLE
KNOW THAT I IT IS NOT A STIGMA
TO TO. SAY I'M HAVING A PROBLEM
I'M HURTING AND I NEED HELP.
AND THAT THE IT'S NOT UNIQUE TO
THEM IT'S IT'S A COMMON.
ANXIETY AND STRESS AND PROBLEM.
AND AND AND I WANT THEM TO KNOW
AS MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES OF
SHARED THIS MORNING THAT I THEIR
PART OF OUR HUMAN FAMILY AND
THEIR FRAILTIES. ARE MAKE THEM
NO DIFFERENT THAN YOU OR ME.
BUT FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED HELP IN
THAT WE ARE THERE TO HELP THEM
AND SUPPORT THEM.
ONE OF THE TRAGEDIES THAT THE
GOOD SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE. BOOK
ABOUT A FEW MINUTES AGO.
WAS THAT.
WE DON'T HAVE.
THE FACILITIES THE STAFFING THE
PROFESSIONALS THAT ARE REALLY.
AT THE LEVELS THAT ARE REQUIRED
IF YOU GO IF YOU'RE A STUDENT AT
OUR UNIVERSITIES ARE PUBLIC
UNIVERSITIES TODAY. AND YOU'RE
UNDER GREAT STRESS AND GO IF
YOU'RE COUNSELING CENTER FOR.
FOR HELP UNDER STRESS THE
AVERAGE WAIT TIMES.
IS IT IS OVER THREE WEEKS.
THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE THOROUGHLY
FOR THE MOST VULNERABLE ARE YOU
THOUGHT OUR CHILDREN.
WE GOTTA DO BETTER I SO
APPRECIATE THE COLLEAGUES WHO
HAVE JOINED WITH THAT THE
SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE AND
SHOWING OUR SUPPORT BY WEARING
GREEN. AND I HOPE THAT WE ALL

OKAY TO TALK ABOUT THEIR ISSUE
AND HOPE THAT WE CAN TOGETHER
WORK TO MAKE IT BETTER THANK YOU.

MAROC.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT TIED
TO WHAT I JOIN THE BIPARTISAN
CHORUS.
IN BANKING THE SENATOR FROM SAN
JOSE FOR HIS LEADERSHIP ON.
MENTAL HEALTH LIZA DOING A
OUTSTANDING JOB IS THE CAUCUS
CHAIR. AND IS DOING A GREAT JOB.
AS THE CHAIR OF THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON MENTAL HEALTH SO. I
WANTED TO TAKE HIM.
FOR SCR ONE TWENTY SEVEN AND
FOR THE TIE.
WE ARE REALLY BLESSED IN ORANGE
COUNTY JUST LAST MONTH WE OPENED.
.
A FLOOR AT THE CHILDREN'S
HOSPITAL CHALK.
I HAD TO DEAL WITH EARLY
DIAGNOSIS OF MENTAL HEALTH IT'S
REALLY A GLORIOUS.
EXAMPLE OF WHAT CAN BE DONE IT
WOULD ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES
WHEN YOU'RE IN THE AREA PLEASE
VISIT. THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
OF ORANGE COUNTY.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK OF THOSE
ARE HERE THAT ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT EARLY PREVENTION AND
INTERVENTION WANT TO THANK THE
SENATOR FROM SAN FRANCISCO ON
HIS EFFORTS.
BUT I AM LOOKING FORWARD
COLLEAGUES FOR THE DAY WHEN I
DON'T HAVE A.
I CONSTITUENTS OR A THAT WALKS
INTO MY OFFICE.
AND SAYS OR WE JUST LOST OUR SON.
DEPRESSION.
SO I WANT TO.
VIRGIN AYE VOTE THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT THANK YOU SENATOR
MORLOCK SENATOR PAN.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.
CENTER SITE TO HONOR IT RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF THIS YEAR ONE
TWENTY SEVEN I THINK MY GOOD
FRIEND FROM SAN JOSE FOR
BRINGING THIS. ISSUE FORWARD
I'VE.
ONE OBJECTION MENTIONED. TWO
ANGLES ON THIS SO ONE CERTAINLY
IS A PEDIATRICIAN.
ONE THING I WANT MAKE NOTE IS
THAT OFTENTIMES A MOST OF OUR. A
SIGNIFICANT MENTAL HEALTH
ILLNESSES.
ACTUAR DIAGNOSED. IN THE TEENS
OR EARLY TWENTIES.
AND THE REASON I MENTION THAT
ALTHOUGH CERTAINLY PEOPLE CAN
COME OF THE SYMPTOMS EITHER
EARLIER OR LATER. IS IS THAT TWO
OFF AND OUT THAT IS A POPULATION
THAT ACTUALLY TENDS TO HAVE.
THE LISA AXIS ARE INTERESTED IN
HEALTH CARE OFTEN HAVE FEWER
OPPORTUNITIES ARE TIMES THAT WE
HAVE THEM COME IN FOR.
GETTING HEALTH CARE OF POINT
OUT THAT OUR OWN CTP PROGRAM
ACTUALLY.
FUND PAYS FOR WELL CHILD VISITS
ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS BY TIME
YOUR TEENAGER.
SO. I THINK WHEN THINGS THAT WE
NEED TO LOOK AT AS WERE.
.
ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH IS IS
THAT TOO OFF AND OUR OUR USE ARE
THE ONES WHO OFTEN HAVE.
BOTH LESS ACCESS.
AS WELL AS. A OFTENTIMES. THOSE
EARLY SYMPTOMS ARE NOT VIEWED AS
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND INSTEAD
AND UP IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE OR
SOME OTHER ISSUES SO. I I THINK
THAT WE NEED TO THINK MORE ABOUT
HOW WE INVEST IN THAT AGE RANGE
IN TERMS OF PARTICULARLY UPER
NOLLIE PREVENTION BUT ALSO
SCREENING FOR MENTAL HEALTH
ILLNESSES.
WE TALK HERE ALSO TALK OFTEN
WITH THAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THE
STIGMA ISSUE I KNOW THAT AND THE
API COMMUNITY AT PARTICULAR
TALENTS.
BUT I KNOW THAT ANOTHER.
NEEDS IS ALSO HAVING ACCESS TO
A CULTURALLY SENSITIVE
APPROACHES BOTH TO OFFER
TREATMENT BUT ALSO FOR.
EDUCATING PEOPLE AND.
DOING IDENTIFICATION A
DIAGNOSIS AS WELL OUT TOO OFTEN.
IN MANY OF.
DIFFERENT CULTURES.
.
NOW HEALTH IS NOT NECESSARILY.
LOOKED UPON POSITIVELY AND WE
NEED TO NOT ONLY BREAK DOWN THE
STATE MINOR GENERAL POPULATION
WOULD CERTAINLY EXISTS BUT ALSO
HELPING WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
OUR. VARIOUS.
ETHNIC AND.
UNITIES IS WELL TO TRY TO
ADDRESS HOW CAN WE GET THE WORD
OUT AND HOW CAN WE ALLOW PEOPLE
TO COME FORWARD.
IN THOSE COMMUNITIES TO TALK
ABOUT A MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES
OF AGAIN I WANT TO THANK MY GOOD
FRIEND. OF SAN JOSE FOR BRING
THIS REPORT RESOLUTION FOR IT
AND I'M VERY PROUD TO WORK WITH
THAT HIM AS WELL ON THE SLICK
COMMUNITY HEALTH AND. LET'S
CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD AND AND
AND AND ADDRESSING THESE
CHALLENGES THANK. YOU SOONER PAN
SENATOR STONE.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
THEN MEMBERS I STAND HERE TODAY
IS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE MENTAL
HEALTH CAUCUS AND I AM PROUD TO
STAND WITH THE BY. GOOD FRIEND
THE SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE TO
ADVOCATE FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS
WITH MENTAL ILLNESS.
STIGMATIZE SOMETHING I LEARNED
ABOUT AFTER BECOMING A COUNTY
SUPERVISOR IN TWO THOUSAND FIVE.
AND I RECOGNIZE THE NEED MORE
NEEDED TO BE DONE TO REDUCE THE
STATE MA AND I WORK VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
MENTAL ILLNESS. AND WE DID
ANNUAL WALKS.
TO RAISE AWARENESS OF.
OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
I'M ALSO VERY.
PROUD OF OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL
PROFESSION AND IN COMING UP WITH
MUCH BETTER DRUGS TO TREAT
THINGS LIKE DEPRESSION TODAY
THAT.
ADDS QUALITY LIFE TO MANY
PEOPLE THAT SUFFER FROM THIS
DEBILITATING DISEASE.
BUT MY FRIENDS MENTAL ILLNESSES
ACCOUNT FOR THE LARGEST
PROPORTION OF DISABILITY IN
DEVELOPED COUNTRIES MORE THAN.
ANY OTHER GROUP OF ILLNESSES
INCLUDING CANCER AND HEART
DISEASE.
WE'VE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT
TOGETHER OVER THE YEARS BUT
THERE'S STILL MUCH MORE THAT WE
ALL KNOW NEEDS TO BE DONE.
PEOPLE ARE DYING ON OUR STREETS
AS WE DEBATE THE SENATE
RESOLUTION.
BUT PEOPLE WITH THE NECESSARY
INTENTION OF ATTENTION CAN IN
FACT BE SAVED.
SADLY THERE ARE SEVERAL
GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATIONS OF
MENTAL ILLNESS.
IT'S BEEN SHOWN THAT THE STATE'S
POOREST AREAS HAVE THE HIGHEST
MENTAL ILLNESS INCLUDING THE
INLAND EMPIRE RIGHT GOVERN.
THE POOREST AREAS OFTEN HAVE THE
LEAST NUMBER OF LICENSE
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS.
AND WE CAN ASK WHY.
WELL EITHER THOUGH SERVICES
EITHER CANNOT BE AFFORDED
BECAUSE THEY'RE EXPENSIVE.
OR BECAUSE OF OUR LOW MEDI CAL
FEES OFFER TO VISIT POSITIONS
INCLUDING PSYCHIATRISTS.
THE CARE FOR THIRTY FIVE PERCENT
OF THE MEDICAL POPULATION THAT
WILL RARELY SEE A PSYCHIATRIST
OR A PSYCHOLOGIST BECAUSE. THESE
PROFESSIONALS REFUSE TO WORK FOR
FREE.
WE HAVE ROUGHLY A HUNDRED AND
FOURTEEN THOUSAND HOMELESS
PEOPLE AND THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE KNOW. THAT MANY
SUFFER FROM MENTAL ILLNESS SADLY
INCLUDING VETERANS.
WE ALREADY PAY HIGH COSTS FOR
THESE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE.
THE ESTIMATED COSTS TO TAXPAYERS
IS ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND PER
PERSON DUE TO EXPENSES INCURRED.
FOR THEIR MEDICAL CARE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND SOCIAL SERVICES.
THESE COSTS ARE WIPING OUT THE
GENERAL FUNDS OF OUR CITIES AND
COUNTIES AND IT'S NOW TIME.
TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND
OFFER TRUE. EXPEDITIOUS AND
HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE.
SO MY COLLEAGUES.
LET ONE MEMBER OF THE MINORITY
PARTY CHALLENGES THE MAJORITY
PARTY.
TO NOT JUST TALK THE TALK.
VIA THIS RESOLUTION.
CELEBRATING THE WORDS OF YET
ANOTHER MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
RESOLUTION IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH.
LET'S WORK AND CONTINUE TO WORK
IN A BIPARTISAN WAY LET'S UNITE.
AND LET STAND UP AND WALK THE
WALK TOGETHER IN DEMAND CHANGE
RIGHT HERE.
AND RIGHT NOW.
MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT
DISCRIMINATE.
IT DOES NOT CHOOSE DEMOCRATS OR
REPUBLICANS POOR VERSUS RICH.
OR YOUNG VERSUS OLD.
MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT CARE
ABOUT YOUR RACE YOUR COLOR. YOUR
NATIONAL ORIGIN OR YOUR SEXUAL
ORIENTATION.
IT IS A TRUE ILLNESS OR DISEASE
UNLIKE THAT MANY PHYSICAL
AILMENTS THAT WE SEEM TO TREAT
WITH A MUCH HIGHER URGENCY. AND
PRIORITY.
COLLEAGUES WE WILL SIR LOON
LEARN. THAT ARE BUDGET SURPLUS
THIS YEAR WILL BE MUCH LARGER.
IN THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS MUCH
MORE THAN WE PROJECTED.
THIS MAY BE THE LARGEST REVENUE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA'S
EVER SEEN SINCE WE BECAME A
STATE SEPTEMBER NINTH EIGHTEEN
FIFTY.
WE CAN'T STAND HERE AND SAY ANY
LONGER THAT WE JUST DON'T HAVE
THE MONEY TO ADDRESS MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES.
BECAUSE IN FACT WE DO HAVE THE
MONEY WE NO LONGER CAN SAY
TREATING THE MENTALLY ILL
REMAINS OUR TOP PRIORITY AS MANY
OF YOU HAVE MENTIONED TODAY. IF
WE CHOOSE NOT TO TRULY AT.
NO LONGER CAN WE IGNORE THE VAST
HUMAN SUFFERING AND INHUMANE
CONDITIONS WE SEE EVERY DAY.
ON THE STREETS OF OFF FIFTY
EIGHT COUNTIES THAT WE ALL
REPRESENT INCLUDING. WOMEN AND
CHILDREN WHO DESPERATELY NEED
OUR HELP.
LET'S PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR
MOUTH THIS.
WE SHOULD CHOOSE WE SHOULD USE
OUR BUDGET SURPLUS AND ALLOCATED
TO ALL COUNTIES AS A PROPORTION
TO THE MOST ECENT. HOMELESS
COUNTY CENSUS.
IT SHOULD BE A MATCHING GRANT
MATCHING THREE STATE DOLLARS FOR
EVERYONE DOLLAR OFFERED UP. BY
EACH AND EVERY COUNTY.
WHICH IS TREAT THE ALLOCATION
WITH THE SAME URGENCY THAT WE DO
WHEN DISBURSING MONEY IN STATE
DISASTERS.
MY FRIENDS IS THIS NOT A STATE
DISASTER.
LET'S SHOW THE COUNTRY AND THE
WORLD THAT WE STAND UNITED AND
TALL TO ADDRESS ALL HUMAN
SUFFERING. INCLUDING THOSE
STRICKEN FOR MENTAL ILLNESS.
PEOPLE NEED OUR HELP.
RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW. IN OUR
OWN STATE.
AS A MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE JOHN
LEWIS ONCE SAID WE MUST BRING
THE ISSUE OF MENTAL ILLNESS.
OUT INTO THE SUNLIGHT.
OUT OF THE SHADOW.
OUT OF THE CLOSET.
DEAL WITH IT. TREAT PEOPLE.
HAVE CENTERS WHERE PEOPLE CAN
GET THE NECESSARY HELP.
IT'S TIME COLLEAGUES TO FINALLY
ADDRESSES MENTAL HEALTH
HUMANITARIAN CRISIS ON OUR WATCH.
PLEASE JOIN THE ESTEEM SENATOR
FROM SAN JOSE IN SUPPORT BESSIE

COLLEAGUES ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE
THE POWER TO DO WE HAVE THE
POWER TO LEGISLATE IN
APPROPRIATE.
AND A WILD RESOLUTIONS ARE
SOMETIMES CEREMONIAL.
I OF COURSE WILL BE SUPPORTING
TODAY AND I WEAR THE GREEN. I
THINK THE IRONY OF THE COLOR OF
CHOICE TODAY.
TO THE AUTHOR OF THE RESOLUTION
IS IT IS ALSO THE COLOR OF MONEY.
AND.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT I
CERTAINLY HOPE THAT THE MENTAL
HEALTH DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION
HAVE BEEN LISTENING TO THIS
DEBATE TODAY.
BECAUSE A LOTS OF DECLARATIVE
STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE I LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING THE BUDGET
PRIORITIES FOR MY COLLEAGUES ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE NOT
JUST NO VOTES ON BUDGET.
ACTIONS THAT WE'VE TAKEN
SUBCOMMITTEE THEIR INCOME IT OR
IN THE FULL BUDGET COMMITTEE BUT
ACTUAL. BUDGET PROPOSALS THAT
WILL BE BROUGHT FORWARD.
TO.
KIND OF VALIDATE SOME OF THE
STATEMENTS MADE TODAY IN SUPPORT
OF A RESOLUTION.
YES IT'S VERY LIKELY THAT.
THIS BUDGET THAT WE THIS BODY
WILL HERE AND PASS AND DEBATE.
ON AND AND AND WORK OVER IN
THROUGH WILL BE THE LARGEST IN
THE STATE'S HISTORY WE SAID THE
SAME THING LAST YEAR.
AND YES THIS IS A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY ONCE AGAIN TO INVEST
IN CRITICAL SERVICES NEEDED BY
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
SO I'M JUST HOPING THAT THE
ADVOCATE TO ASK US TO WEAR GREEN
TODAY WERE LISTENING. AND THAT
THEY WILL VISIT OFFICES IN BRING
SUGGESTIONS THE PROPOSALS AND
THAT WE SEE BUDGET SUGGESTIONS
THAT PROPOSALS COME FOR. IN THE
AFFIRMATIVE.
NOT NEARLY.
NO VOTES FROM SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES.
BUT THAT THEY REMEMBER THE WORDS
THEY SPOKE TODAY IN SUPPORT. OF
A SEGMENT OF OUR COMMUNITY THAT
IS LOOKING TO US
TO BRING FOR.
THE GREEN PROVIDE HOUSING AND

THAT SOMEBODY HAD SIGNS OF
HAVING A MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM
AND EVEN BEFORE IN TERMS OF
PREVENTION.
WE CAN TAKE ACTION.
TO.
PREVENT.
ABOUT THE TRAGEDY OF A LIFELONG
CHRONIC ILLNESS.
THE OTHER THE OTHER THING WE CAN
DO IS WE CAN GO WITHIN.
AND I LIKE TO.
I LIKE TO MADAME PRESIDENT

IT WOULD BE A BIG PLUS FOR THE
SENATE. AND IT WOULD ALSO.
INGRAIN IN OUR STAFF THE CULTURE.
OF ELIMINATING STATEMENT IF THEY

THAT WILL MAKE A CULTURE CHANGE.

MR SECRETARY PLEASE READ THING
ABOUT NINE FORTY SIX BY SENATOR
LADA AND ACKLINGTON SIDEWALK
VENDORS.
SENATOR LARA THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT MEMBERS.
UNDER PRESENT ONE OF OUR LATINO
CAUCUS PRIORITY BILLS THIS
MORNING.
ACROSS THE STATE TENS AND
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WORK AT
SIDEWALK VENDORS SELLING FOOD
AND MERCHANDISE ON PUBLIC
SIDEWALKS WHEN OUR PUBLIC PARKS.
WE HAVE TO REALLY START HAVING
CONVERSATIONS ARE SEEING THESE
HARDWORKING PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY
ARE THEY ARE WOMEN SENIORS
SINGLE PARENTS A MICRO BUSINESS
OWNERS TAKING THE FIRST STEP TO
STARTING THEIR OWN BUSINESSES.
THEY DON'T COME LOOKING FOR ANY
TYPE OF HAND OUT THE FOOD AND
GOODS THEY ARE SET OUT SOUNDING
IN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
FEEDING THEIR FAMILIES. PAYING
THE RENT OR BECOMING HOMELESS
BUT TOO OFTEN OUR LAW ST THEM AS
A NUISANCE AND EVEN CRIMINALS
ARE LAWS IGNORE. THAT THESE BY
INDIVIDUALS ARE OFTEN VICTIMS
THEMSELVES THEY FACE SHAKE DOWNS
FROM BUSINESSES AND EXTORTION
FROM GROUP CRIMINAL GANGS AND
YES EVEN SOME OF OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
MANY OF OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
IMPOSE AN OUTRIGHT PROHIBITION
AND ALL SIDEWALK BENDING Y.
OTHERS IMPOSE OR ONLY AS
RESTRICTIONS THAT SEVERELY LIMIT.
LIMITED AND REGULATE VENDORS TO
UNDERGO ARE UNDERGROUND ECONOMY.
PERMITS ARE OFTEN IMPOSSIBLE TO
OBTAIN AND VENDING WITHOUT A
PERMIT IS PROSECUTED AS A CRIME.
THE CRIMINALIZATION OF SIDEWALK
VENDING HAVE SIGNIFICANT AND
DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES
ESPECIALLY IN LOW INCOME AND ARE
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.
ADDITIONALLY MANY OTHER VENDORS
APPORTER EQUIPMENT AND OTHER
PROPERTY HAS BEEN CONFISCATED
DURING ENFORCEMENT ENCOUNTERS
CREATING SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL
AND EMOTIONAL STRESS. AND THE
IRONY IS THAT YOU OFTEN SEE THE
EQUIPMENT THAT HAS BEEN
CONFISCATED AT CITY SPONSORED
EVENTS LATER ON.
INFRACTIONS OFTEN TURN INTO
MISDEMEANORS AND VENDORS HAVE TO
SERVE JAIL TIME TO PREVENT THEM
FROM PROVIDING. FOR THEIR
EMPLOYMENT THE FROM PROVIDING
FOOD FOR THEIR FAMILIES THIS
KEEP VENDORS ADDITIONALLY FROM
ANY HOUSING AND EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES. SO OUR BILL A
ALLOWS LOCAL AUTHORITY TO ADOPT
A SIDEWALK VENDING PERMIT
PROGRAM IN ORDER TO ADEQUATELY
ENFORCE ANY SIDEWALK VENTILATION.
IT WILL PROVIDE THAT ANY
VIOLATION OF A LOCAL SIDEWALK
WENDY RULE SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO
AN ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY
INSTEAD OF A MISDEMEANOR.
ESTABLISH A MINIMUM SAFETY
STANDARDS AND.
TO GUIDE LOCAL AUTHORITIES WHEN
IT.
INITIATING A SIGH WORK BENDING
PROGRAM THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS
TO PROTECT VULNERABLE SIDEWALK
VENDORS AND CREATE A NEW
OPPORTUNITY FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP
AND ECONOMIC MOBILITY WHILE
STILL PRESERVING. LOCAL CONTROL
MEMBERS WE CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE OPPOSITION WE'VE MADE
TREMENDOUS HEADWAY AND HAS THIS
BILL MOST OF THIS BILL MOVES TO
THE ASSEMBLY. AND CONFIDENT THAT
WE CAN CONTENT OUT HOPEFULLY
REACH AN AGREEMENT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK HER AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR LARA MEMBERS
ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE CENTER
GLAZER.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS.
BUT THIS BILL ADDRESSES TWO VERY
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
THE FIRST ONE IS WHETHER
VIOLATIONS OF LOCAL STREET
VENDING RULES.
WE CARRY CRIMINAL SANCTIONS.
I STRONGLY SUPPORT
DECRIMINALIZING THESE VIOLATIONS
NO ONE SHOULD FACE DEPORTATION.
PROVIDING THESE KINDS OF RULES
AT MOST THEY SHOULD FACE
ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES.
IF THAT IS ALL THIS BILL DID I
WOULD ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORTED.
BUT I'M FORCING THERE'S ANOTHER
ISSUE RAISED IN THE BILL.
AND THAT IS THE ISSUE OF HOW
MUCH LEEWAY. LOCAL COMMUNITY
SHOULD HAVE TO REGULATE. VENDING
ON THEIR STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.
REGULATING THIS ACTIVITY HAS
HISTORICALLY BEEN THE JOB OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
AND I'M NOT CONVINCED THAT THE
LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO INTERVENE.
IN THOSE DECISIONS.
LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND THEIR
ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES.
ARE THE BEST ONES TO DECIDE WHAT
KIND OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITY THEY
WANT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS.
REGRETTABLY FOR THAT REASON I
CANNOT SUPPORT THE BILL AT THIS
TIME.
THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER MEMBERS
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
SENATOR WOULD TAKE TO CLOSE
THANK YOU MEMBERS I DO.
RESPECT MY COLLEAGUES.
OPINION A CONCERNS AND WE ARE
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

SENATE BILL ELEVEN FORTY SIX BY
SENATOR STONE ENACT INTERPRETERS.
SENATOR STONE THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT PRESIDENT MEMBERS OF
THE SENATE TO SB ELEVEN FORTY
SIX IS A SIMPLE BILL THAT WILL
HAVE THE GREATEST IMPACT IN
PROVIDING VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE
AND HARASSMENT. ONE MORE BARRIER
PROTECTION THESE VICTIMS SUFFER
EMOTIONAL TRAUMA AND LIVE IN
CONSTANT FEAR OF SOMETHING WE
ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED. THE U. S.
MAIL.
THESE VICTIMS FILED RESTRAINING
ORDERS AND IT FOR HAVE
PROTECTIVE ORDERS GIVEN THROUGH
THE COURTS AGAINST INCARCERATED
INDIVIDUALS. AND THEY EXPECT
PROTECTION.
THIS BILL WAS INSPIRED FROM
RECENT CASE WHERE AN INDIVIDUAL
WAS IN CUSTODY ON A CASE FOR
STALKING.
DESPITE A PROTECTIVE ORDER THIS
INDIVIDUAL SENT MULTIPLE LETTERS
CARDS AND NOTES TO THE VICTIM
WHILE IN CUSTODY.
THE DA'S OFFICE WAS FORCE TO
JUST NOTE THE ACTION.
SO DESPITE THE PROTECTIVE ORDER
OF THESE FORMS OF COMMUNICATION
COULD NOT BE INTERCEPTED AND THE
DA'S OFFICE COULD NOT SEE
PUNISHMENT FOR BREAKING THE
PROTECTIVE ORDER. THE VICTIM WAS
FORCED TO CONSTANTLY UNDERGO THE
EMOTIONAL TRAUMA OF SEEING THOSE
COMMUNICATIONS EACH TIME THEY
CHECKED THEIR MAIL. A PROTECTIVE
ORDER UNDER EXISTING LAW
PROHIBITS THE CONTACT OF
INDIVIDUAL VIA E-MAIL VERBAL
NONVERBAL OR ELECTRONIC MEANS
UNDER CURRENT LAW THE PENALTY
FOR BREAKING A PROTECTIVE ORDER
A RESTRAINING ORDER. HAS LITTLE
OR NO AFFECT ON INCARCERATED
INDIVIDUAL AS SEEN IN THIS
EXAMPLE. S. B. ELEVEN FORTY SIX
GIVES THE VICTIMS AT LAYER
PROTECTION FROM A CARCERI DID
INDIVIDUALS BY LONG THE PRISON
AUTHORITIES TO ENFORCE A
RESTRAINING ORDER PROTECTIVE
ORDER AGAINST AN INMATE. WHILE
CONDUCTING THE INSPECTION OF THE
OUTGOING MAIL. LET'S GIVE A
LEVEL OF PROTECTION TO THOSE
VICTIMS WHO ALREADY HAVE
SUFFERED ENOUGH EXPECT US THE

PROTECTION I RESPECTFULLY ASK

SENATE BILL THIRTEEN FORTY SIX
BUT SENATOR JACKSON AND AQUINNAH
FIREARMS
SENATE JACKSON IT'S GOOD MORNING
MADAM PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES.
THIS IS S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY
SIX A BILL TO CLARIFY EXISTING
LAW. THAT SO CALLED BUNCH
STARK'S ARE COVERED BY
CALIFORNIA STATUTE OUTLAWING THE
USE OF MULTI BURST TRIGGER.
ACTIVATORS.
A* STOCK IS AN ATTACHMENT
THAT CAN INCREASE THE SPEED AT
WHICH A SEMI AUTOMATIC WEAPON
FIRES. THIS ACCESSORY WORKS BY
REPLACING THE PART OF THE GUN
THAT RESTS AGAINST THE USERS
SHOULDER. ON UNLIKE A STANDARD
STARK THE BOMB STARK USES THE
RECOIL FROM A GUNSHOT THE SLIDE
BACK AND FORTH CAUSING THE
TRIGGER. TO HIT THE USER'S
FINGER AND THE GUN TO FIRE.
AS A RESULT THIS MODIFICATION
CAN ALLOW SEMI AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
TO FIRE AT ALMOST THE SAME RATE
AS MACHINE GUNS
WHAT WHICH FIRE CONTINUOUSLY
AFTER THE TRIGGER IS PRESSED.
ONCE.
ALTHOUGH MACHINE GUNS ARE
ILLEGAL* STOCKS ARE NOT IN
MANY STATES OUTSIDE OF
CALIFORNIA FARM STOCKS WERE
REPORTEDLY USED IN LAS VEGAS.
FOR THAT SHOOTING SPREE IN LATE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN. WERE A GUNMAN
SHOT MORE THAN ELEVEN HUNDRED
ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION FROM HIS
HOTEL ROOM IN THE TOWERS OF THE
MANDALAY BAY RESORT. KILLING
FIFTY EIGHT PEOPLE AND INJURING
ANOTHER EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY
ONE. AND SO YOU CAN GET A SENSE
OF THIS.
THE TOTAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE
IMPACTED BY THE USE OF THIS TYPE
OF WEAPON.
WAS NINE HUNDRED AND NINE PEOPLE
IN THE COURSE OF APPROXIMATELY
TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES.
IN LIGHT OF THAT ATTACK ON
INNOCENT CONCERT GOERS.
IF YOU RECALL WE ALL STOOD IN
MEMORY TO MEMORIALIZE THOSE WHO
HAD DIED WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS
AND I THINK EVERYONE OF US. HAD
AT LEAST ONE OR TWO. OF ITS
CONSTITUENTS WHO WERE KILLED OR
SEVERELY EARNED INJURED BY THIS
ATTACK.
IN LIGHT OF THAT ATTACK THE
CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA'S ATTORNEY
GENERAL.
ISSUED AN ADVISORY TO STATE GUN
RETAILERS THIS FALL REMINDING
THEM THAT BOMB STARK'S ARE LEGAL
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW. IN
FEBRUARY THIS YEAR FOLLOWING THE
STONEMAN DOUGLAS FAIR
VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE IN
FLORIDA. PRESIDENT TRUMP OUT TO
BAN THE DEVICES BUT TO DATE HAS
TAKEN.
NO ACTION.
WITH S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY SIX WE.
ARE GOING TO CLARIFY
THE LAW IN CALIFORNIA SO THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL DOESN'T HAVE TO
SEND OUT ADVISORIES.
BUT THE CLARIFY AND EMPHASIZE
THE CALIFORNIA TO ENSURE THERE
IS NO CONFUSION ABOUT WHAT
FIREARM ACCESSORIES ARE LEGAL
AND ILLEGAL IN THE STATE. WILL
MAKE IT CLEAR THROUGH THIS
LEGISLATION THAT BOMB STOCKS ARE
PROHIBITED.
