MORNING SENATOR MITCHELL HAS THE
FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT AND GOOD MORNING TO
YOU AND ALL IS WELL.
I'M PROUD TO STAND BEFORE YOU
TODAY TO PRESENT SB NINE FIVE
ONE WHICH IS VERSION THREE POINT
ALL OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE FILM
AND TELEVISION PRODUCTION ACT.
THE FILM AND TELEVISION TAX
CREDIT PROGRAM PROVIDES TAX
CREDITS BASS FROM QUALIFIED
EXPENDITURES. FOR ELIGIBLE
PRODUCTIONS THAT ARE PRODUCED IN
CALIFORNIA.
THIS BILL COLLEAGUES EXTENDS THE
CURRENT SENSITIVE THE FILM
PRODUCTION TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
FROM JUNE THIRTEENTH TWENTY
TWENTY TO JUNE THIRTY TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE AND MAKES
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CURRENT
PROGRAM.
AS YOU'LL RECALL IN OH NINE THE
LEGISLATURE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
PRODUCTION FLIGHT WAS A VERY
REAL THING. A STEADY STREAM OF
FILM AND TV PRODUCTION WAS
LEAVING CALIFORNIA FOR STATES
ACTIVELY RECRUITING THEM AND
TAKING WITH IT. HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF JOBS.
PRODUCTIONFLIGHT DOES NOT LEAVE
BEHIND BIG NAME ACTORS DIRECTORS
AND PRODUCERS BUT THE VAST
INFRASTRUCTURE OF BELOW THE LINE
AND BEHIND THE SCENES WORKERS AS
WELL AS THE NECESSARY SUPPORT
BUSINESSES. THAT SERVE THE
PRODUCTION TEAMS.
THE LINE IN BELOW THE LINE
REFERS TO THE SEPARATION OF
PRODUCTION COSTS BETWEEN LA
ABOVE THE LINE SCRIPT AND STORY
PRODUCERS WRITERS DIRECTORS
ACTORS AND CASTING. AND TO THE
REST OF THE CREW AND THE
PRODUCTION TEAM YOU KNOW LIKE
THE KEY GRIPS.
THE CALIFORNIA FILM COMMISSION
WAS TAPPED TO RUN WHAT WOULD
BECOME THE MODEL PRODUCTION
CENTER PROGRAM FOR THE REST OF
THE COUNTRY.
THE AUDIT PROCEDURES INVOLVED IN
DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY
COMPLIANCE ARE MORE TRANSPARENT
RIGOROUS AND FAIR THAN ANY OTHER
PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY AND WE
SHOULD BE PROUD OF THAT.
IN FACT MANY STATES OF MODEL
THERE ARE PROCEDURES BASED ON
THE CALIFORNIA REGULATIONS
THOUGH FAITH INCLUDE NEW YORK
PENNSYLVANIA AND LOUISIANA.
TODAY THE PROGRAM IS ALLOCATED A
TOTAL OF EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY
MILLION DOLLARS IN TAX CREDITS
TO ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
APPROVED PROJECTS.
TOGETHER THESE PROJECTS ARE
CONTRIBUTING FIVE POINT NINE
BILLION DOLLARS.
BUT DIRECT IN STATE SPENDING
INCLUDING TWO POINT THREE
BILLION DOLLARS IN WAGES TO THE
TECHNICAL CREW.
THESE DOLLARS MEANS THOUSANDS OF
JOBS IN CALIFORNIA. TWENTY NINE
THOUSAND CAST MEMBERS HIRED
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND CREW MEMBERS
HIRED AND OVER FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND INDIVIDUALS ARE HIRED
ON A DAILY BASIS. AS BACKGROUND
HIRES.
S. B. NINE FIVE ONE IS THE THIRD
WE AUTHORIZATION THE PRODUCTION
INCENTIVE. EACH VERSION HAS.
SEEN THEM IMPORTANT PROGRAMS
FROM THE PRIOR VERSION KEEPING
IN STEP WITH THE NEEDS OF THE
INDUSTRY THE EVOLUTION OF
TECHNOLOGY AND CONSUMER VIEWING
HABITS.
AMONG THE MANY IMPROVEMENTS
INCLUDED IN THIS YEAR'S VERSION.
ARE THE FOLLOWING.
THE BILL INCREASES FUNDING FOR
INDEPENDENT FILMS AND LEVEL THE
PLAYING FIELD BY ENSURING THAT
SMALLER PRODUCTIONS ARE NOT
COMPETING WITH LARGER PRODUCTION
FOR RESOURCES.
AND A CONTINUING EFFORT TO
INCENTIVIZE FILMING OUTSIDE OF
THE LA ZONE AND ACROSS THE STATE
IT CREATES AN ADDITIONAL FIVE
PERCENT INCENTIVE FOR THE HIRING
OF LOCALLY BASED CREW MEMBERS
WERE PRODUCTION TO GO OUT. OF
THE LA.
RESPONDING TO THE NEED FOR A
SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY IN THE
INDUSTRY THE BILL WAS RECENTLY
AMENDED TO REQUIRE THAT ALL
PARTICIPATING PRODUCTIONS CREATE
AND ENFORCE HARASSMENT. FREE
ENVIRONMENT.
IF A PRODUCTION DOES NOT HAVE
THE REQUIRED POLICIES IN PLACE
WITHIN THREE DAYS THEY ARE
DISQUALIFIED FROM THE PROGRAM.
RESPONDING TO THE ONGOING NEED
FOR DIVERSITY.
IN FRONT OF BUT PRIMARILY IN
THIS CASE BEHIND THE CAMERA. WE
ESTABLISH SOMETHING NEW CALLED
CAREER PATHWAYS PROGRAM
IT PROVIDES TECHNICAL SKILLS
TRAINING FOR INDIVIDUALS FROM
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES FOR
ENTRY INTO FILM AND TELEVISION
INDUSTRY JOBS.
PAID FOR BY PARTICIPATING
PRODUCTIONS NOT BY THE
PRODUCTION INCENTIVE.
THESE ARE SKILLS FOR GOOD PAYING
JOBS THAT TRANSLATE INTO
LIFETIME CAREERS THESE AREN'T
TEMPORARY JOBS IS NOT A
MENTORING PROGRAM.
THESE ARE CAREER JOBS.
THE PRODUCTION INCENTIVE IS
INDEED A TAX CREDIT. BUT IT'S
CLEAR THAT THE STATE DOLLARS ARE
DOUBLING AND TRIPLING
INVESTMENTS IN OUR COMMUNITIES
AND IN CALIFORNIA'S. PREMIER
INDUSTRY THE FILM INDUSTRY.
THIS IS WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER A
JOB PROTECTOR BILL.
AS LONG AS OTHER STATES CONTINUE
TO TRY TO LURE THE JOBS AND
REVENUE THE INDUSTRY AWAY FROM
CALIFORNIA WE NEED TO REMAIN
INVESTED IN THIS IMPORTANT
PROGRAM. WITH THAT I ASK THAT
YOU VOTE FOR THE THIRD ITERATION
OF THE FILM TAX CREDIT. S. B.
NINE FIVE ONE.
THANK YOU SENATOR MITCHELL
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION ON THIS
ITEM WE WILL START WITH SENATOR
PAN. FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
HERTZBERG AND THEN SENATOR
PORTANTINO.
OKAY THANK YOU I'M AND PRESIDENT
I WILL FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO
THANK MY GOOD FRIEND FROM LOS
ANGELES FOR HER LEADERSHIP AND.
AND HOW AND BE SURE WE SUPPORT
THIS.
VERY IMPORTANT VITAL INDUSTRY.
FOR CALIFORNIA I ALSO WANT TO
RECOGNIZE HER LEADERSHIP AS WELL
IN THE ISSUE AREAS OF DIVERSITY
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE INCLUSION
AND I CALIFORNIA AND OUR POLICY
AND AND OUR. OUR STATE.
CALIFORNIA SOLELY IS
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNIZE FOR FILM
IN YOUR ATTAINMENT INDUSTRY IN
THIS MEASURE WILL HELP PRESERVE
THAT REPUTATION AND MORE
IMPORTANTLY IT'S GOT PROTECT
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIANS JOBS.
JUST WHY AM PROUD TO STAND IN
SUPPORT OF IT TODAY.
HOWEVER AS WE VOTE TO EXTEND
THIS FILM TAXPAYER PROGRAM IT IS
CRITICAL THAT FILMS AND
TELEVISION SHOWS.
AND I WORKFORCE REFLECT THE
DIVERSITY OF OUR STATE BOAT BOTH
ON AND OFF THE SCREEN.
A REPORT ON THE DIVERSITY IN
HOLLYWOOD BY UCLA STATES THAT
PEOPLE OF COLOR MAKEUP NEARLY
FORTY PERCENT THE US POPULATION
AND EVEN THE LARGER PROPORTION.
HERE IN CALIFORNIA YET REMAIN
UNDER. ON EVERY FRONT AND ALL
PLATFORMS INCLUDING.
A IN LEAD ROLES.
WRITERS DIRECTORS AND
SHOWRUNNERS BASICALLY ABOVE THE
LINE
DIVERSITY MATTERS
THE FILM IS SHE RECEIVED SHOULD
RESPECT REFLECT THAT DIVERSITY
IN OUR STATE.
ON BEHALF OF THE API CAUCUS WE
URGE THAT WE ALSO INCLUDE
PROVISIONS AS THIS BILL MOVES
FORWARDTO BE SURE WE ADDRESS
THAT I KNOW AGAIN MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM LOS ANGELES IS A LEADER IN
THIS ISSUE AND I KNOW THAT WE
WON. CERTAINLY THEY TECH*
WHAT'S WORK WITH HER AND OTHERS
IN ASSURING THAT THEY SUCK
PROVISIONS AS WE HELP SUPPORT
THE INDUSTRY TO SUPPORT INDUSTRY
IT AS WELL NEEDS TO SUPPORT THE
VALUES THAT MAKES CALIFORNIA
GREAT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR PAN SENATOR
HERTZBERG.
THANK YOU MADAM BUDGET YEAR.
I REPRESENT COMMUNITIES IN LOS
ANGELES ONE APTLY NAMED STUDIO
CITY.
FOR ITS ROLE IN THE INDUSTRY IN
NORTH HOLLYWOOD AND OTHERS.
AND I AM OF THE OPPORTUNITY ON A
DAILY BASIS WITH YOUR KNOCKING
DOOR TO DOOR TO TALK TO PEOPLE
OR. TALKING TO PEOPLE AT
HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATIONS IN THE
LIKE TO UNDERSTAND THE HUMAN
IMPACT.
THE IMPACT ON LOCKS MISSIN
TRADERS AND DRIVERS AND GRIPS
AND SET DESIGNERS WHO LIVES HAVE
BEEN TURNED AROUND. AND ON A
PERSONAL LEVEL ONE OF THE GREAT
CHALLENGES THAT WE DON'T THINK
ABOUT WITH RESPECT TO THE
INDUSTRY IS THAT WHEN THERE ARE
TAX CREDITS AND OTHER STATES
PEOPLE HAVE TO LEAVE CALIFORNIA.
TO GO TO THE OTHER STATES TO
TEARS THEIR FAMILY APART THE
SOCIAL IMPACTS ARE EXTRAORDINARY
AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
ECONOMIC FEEDBACK AFFECT. THE
PARTNER THE FINANCE TALKS ABOUT
THE PAYROLL TAX AND ALL THE
OTHER THING THE CHAIR A BUDGET
TALKED ABOUT THE FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND BACKGROUND HIRES WILL.
THAT'S ABOUT HALF MY DISTRICT
IN THE COMMITTEES THAT WE
REPRESENT IN LOS ANGELES AND
IT'S BEEN EXTRAORDINARY BUT ABLE
TO SEAT UP FRONT.
AND SO THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF
DEBATE OVER THE YEARS IN MANY
DIFFERENT RATIONS AND MANY
DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATIONS TO
WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD. AND
USEFUL PROGRAM AND THE ANSWER IS
NOT ONLY ON A PERSONAL HUMAN
LEVEL ON A FINANCIAL LEVEL IN
TERMS OF THE IMPACT ON THE
ECONOMIC FEEDBACK TO CALIFORNIA.
AND WHAT IT DOES BUT I WOULD
ALSO ARGUE MORE GLOBAL LEVEL
BECAUSE ONE OF THE GREAT ASSETS
IN ADDITION TO OUR HIGHER
EDUCATION OTHER ASSETS THAT WE
HAVE IN CALIFORNIA. IS THIS
BRAND OF THE MOVIE INDUSTRY AND
TELEVISION SHOWS AND THE LIKE IT
IS IN FORM SO MUCH INTEREST
INVESTMENT. AND AND AND POSITIVE
ASPECTS
WHAT CALIFORNIA'S ABOUT SO I
APPLAUD YOU FOR THIS A MEASURE I
SUPPORTED AND I THINK IT DOES
GREAT FOR CALIFORNIA THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR HERTZBERG
SENATOR PORTANTINO FOLLOWED BY
SENATOR MORE LOCK AND THEN

ANCILLARY A SUPPORT. AYE
INDUSTRIES THAT SUPPORT OUR
GREAT FILM INDUSTRY I'M AS

THE HERITAGE OF THIS INDUSTRY.
MANY PEOPLE COME TO CALIFORNIA

HOLLYWOOD PURSUE THEIR DREAMS TO
WORK ON FILMS PURSUE THEIR
DREAMS TO TELL STORIES AYE THIS
IS PART OF THE FABRIC OF OUR
GREAT STATE. IT IS ONE OF THE
MOST. IMPORTANT ECONOMIC DRIVERS

INFLUENCE ON THE TWENTY FIFTH
SENATE DISTRICT WHICH I'M PROUD
TO REPRESENT WHICH INCLUDES
NUMEROUS STUDIOS AND A
TELEVISION NETWORK SO AGAIN I

FOR AMENDMENTS ADDRESSING MY
CONCERNS IN LIGHT OF OUR JOINT
EFFORTS ON THE JOINT COMMITTEE
ON RULES SUBCOMMITTEE.
ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT PREVENTION
AND RESPONSE.
STAYING ON COURSE WITH
ADDRESSING THE CULTURE HERE.
IN THE CAPITAL AND IN AND IN THE
STATE THE AMENDMENTS ARE
REFLECTIVE OF SETTING A PROPER
TONE.
IF THE TAXPAYERS ARE SUBSIDIZING
THIS INDUSTRY THEY SHOULD NOT BE
IN DIRECT PARTICIPANTS IN
OFFENSES AGAINST ACTRESSES.
WE SHOULD ALSO CONSIDER
CALIFORNIA'S SEVERE UNFUNDED
LIABILITIES.
AS TAX CREDITS
MAYBE A MISDIRECTION.
OF THE FUNDS THAT SHOULD MAYBE
BE PAYING DOWN. OUR DEBT SO TAX
CREDIT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED VERY
CAREFULLY.
SACRAMENTO SHOULD BE FAIR AND
PROVIDING INCENTIVES TO ALL
INDUSTRIES.
IN CALIFORNIA WE SHOULD BE NO
BETTER NO WORSE.
THE STATE OF LOUISIANA CERTAINLY
TRIED TO.
PROVIDE MASSIVE TAX CREDITS FOR
MOVIES AND THEY ARE CHOKING ON
THAT PILL. SO WE'VE TAUGHT THEM
A LESSON.
IN NE FORMER FASHION BUT I JUST
WANT TO CAUTION THAT WE HAVE TO
MONITOR ARE FINANCES AS A WHOLE

WHOLE THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.

ALWAYS KNEW THAT WE DO NEED TO

BACK THAT SHOW THAT YOU NOT ONLY
IS THERE BEEN A FOLLOW ON IMPACT

SENSITIVE.
TO THE NEEDS OF THE AGRICULTURAL
INDUSTRY. AND THE ONEROUS
BURDENS

AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT.

THAT SAID. I WILL BE AN AYE VOTE
TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR NIELSEN
SENATORLARA THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT I WAS JUST MOVED HER
TO SPEAK ON THIS MEASURE AS WE.
ARE CELEBRATING KEEPING FAMILIES
TOGETHER AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
THAT.
AN I HOPE WE CONTINUE WITH
THIS THEME AS WE CONTINUE TO
HAVE. MORE ROBUST DISCUSSIONS
BUT I WANTED JUST TO INJURY
REITERATE WHAT THE AYE MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SACRAMENTO SAID.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS TAX
CREDIT WHICH IS PAID BY EVERY
SINGLE CALIFORNIA.
FROM EVERY SINGLE WALK OF LIFE.
REGARDLESS OF THEIR IMMIGRATION
STATUS AND THEREFORE I. LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH OF MY
GREAT COLLEAGUE SENATOR MITCHELL
AS WE.
WORK TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE ALSO
IMPACT. AND.
INCLUDE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA
THE GREAT DIVERSITY OF OUR STATE
GIVEN THAT WE'RE ALL PAYING FOR
THIS TAX CREDIT WHICH IS
IMPORTANT AND GREATLY NEEDED I'M
PROUD TO WRITE THE SUPPORT.
THANK YOU SENATOR LARA SENATOR
DE LEóN.
BIGGER MUCH.
MADAM PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES I AM
I TO A RISE IN AND IN STRONG
SUPPORT. OF THIS MEASURE I HAVE
A GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH THIS
MEASURE BECAUSE A I WAS THE MAIN
NEGOTIATOR OF THE LAST FILM TO
BE TAX CREDIT. INVITE OUR
REMEMBER WHEN WE WERE IN THE
ROOM NEGOTIATING.
THEN SPEAKER EMERITUS.
MISS ATKINS AND I WERE IN THE
ROOM TOGETHER.
WHAT WE NEGOTIATED WHICH CAME
OUT TO BE THE BEST FILM TO BE
TAX CREDIT IN THE HISTORY OF
CALIFORNIA?
SECOND BEST WOMAN SAYING TO THE
ROD DOLLARS IN A PERSON IN NEW
YORK WE WILL HAVE TO BE NUMBER
ONE BECAUSE WE HAD THE BEST
TALENTS.
THE BEST HOME GROWN TALENT IN
THE NATION RIGHT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. OF BUT I'VE HEARD OF
A COUPLE COLLEAGUES MENTIONED
FEW OTHER STATES WITH LOUISIANA.
WITH OF SOUTH CAROLINA MICHIGAN
OR ELSEWHERE THAT QUITE FRANKLY
IN SOME WAYS OBJECTIVELY SPEAK
IN TERMS OF GENERAL FUND BUDGETS.
HAVE NO BUSINESS IN THE FILM AND
TV TAX CREDIT BUSINESS
BECAUSE OF OTHER MORE PRESSING
PRIORITIES WE HAVE THAT LUXURY
HERE BEING THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY. IN THE WORLD BUT THIS
IS A HUGE ECONOMIC STIMULATOR
BECAUSE AS SEVERAL FOLKS HAVE
MENTIONED HERE WE HAVE SO MANY
HARD WORKING CALIFORNIANS
SPENDING BASSINGER TIMES EITHER
VANCOUVER.
IN NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA IN NEW
MEXICO OR ELSEWHERE MISSING.
PROM DATES FOR THEIR TEENAGERS
MISSING SCHOOL NIGHTS OUT
MISSING ALL KINDS OF THINGS THAT
WE TAKE
A FOR GRANTED. A IN CALIFORNIA
NOW THESE FOLKS GET TO STAY HERE
IN CALIFORNIA IN SPEND THEIR TAX
DOLLARS HERE IN CALIFORNIA. AND
THIS HAS REALLY HELPED GROW THIS
ECONOMY BECAUSE AS THE GOOD
CENTER FROM ORANGE COUNTY WHO IS.
NO DOUBT VERY GOOD AT OF FISCAL
UP FINANCES AT THE BURGER A
PERSPECTIVE TO IT.
FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT YOU INVEST
IN A TAX CREDIT DOES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE OF THE FILM AND TV
DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE OF ITS
TACK.
OR SMALL BUSINESS OR
AGRIBUSINESS.
THE ASSUMPTION IS YOU'RE GONNA
GET YOUR PRINCIPAL BACK.
AND THEN PENNIES ABOVE AND
BEYOND THAT IS GRAVY TO OUR
GENERAL FUND DOLLARS.
BUT WE HAVE THE EMPIRICAL
EVIDENCE THAT'S BEEN SUGGESTED
BY THE CENTER FROM SANTA MONICA
THAT THIS DEAL IS WORKING FOR
CALIFORNIA.
BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING PAID BACK.
ABOVE AND BEYOND OUR PRINCIPAL
INVESTMENT OF ONE DOLLAR.
AND ALSO TOO WE'RE GROWING THIS
ECONOMY IN KEEPING FOLKS HOME IN
CALIFORNIA SO WE MUST CONTINUE.
THIS HUGE JOB.
ECONOMIC STIMULATOR A COURSE
IT'S A DIFFERENT BALLGAME IF WE
INVEST DOLLAR AND WE ACTUALLY
GET BACK NINETY SEVEN. EIGHTY
FOUR SEVENTY SIX ON THE DOLLAR
WHICH MEANS WE THE TAXPAYERS A
CALIFORNIA ARE SUBSIDIZING AN
INDUSTRY.
IN FACT.
IMPROVE LEVIN SUGGESTS IT'S THE
OTHER WAY AROUND BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT THERE IS NO SPECIAL DOOR A
SHOOT IT OPENS UP IN THE SKY
WHAT TAX CREDIT DOLLARS TO FALL
DOWN. THESE ARE TAX CREDIT
DOLLARS THE COMPANY GENERAL FUND
THAT COMPETES.
WITH FOLKS WHO HAVE DEMENTIA.
FOLKS WHO.
I HAVE ONE I HAVE ACCESS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION TO UC'S SEE
IT'S YOU WHO WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE AS DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS.
FIRST AND FOREMOST REGARDLESS OF
THE INDUSTRY.
THERE WERE FAT GIVING OUR DOLLAR
BACK.
AND HOPEFULLY KNOCK ON WOOD.
MONEY ON RETURN AS WELL SO THAT
IS A GOOD INVESTMENT BECAUSE THE
THESIS BEHIND A TAX CREDIT IS TO
INCENTIVIZE A CERTAIN TYPE OF.
POSITIVE BEHAVIOR AN OUTCOME NOW
THE RESULT. WE GOT VEEP THAT HAS
LEFT MARILYN WE GOT AMERICAN
HORROR STORY HAS LEFT NEW
ORLEANS LOUISIANA COME BACK TO
CALIFORNIA WE HAVE LEGION FROM
VANCOUVER CANADA THAT'S COME
BACK BUT TWO OF.
TO CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS
TIMELESS.
ALL OF THESE FOLKS ARE COMING
BACK TO CALIFORNIA BECAUSE THEY
CAN ACTUALLY BUDGET THIS AND
THEY CAN WORK OUT THE NUMBERS
AND IT MAKES SENSE FOR THEM MISS
SPECIALLY COULD YOU HELP. HOME
GROWN TALENT THE BEST OF ITS
KIND.
BECAUSE YEARS BACK IT WAS VERY
PERVERSE THAT CALIFORNIANS GO TO
NEW MEXICO AND ELSEWHERE
TRAINING OTHER MEN AND WOMEN WHO
ARE VENTURE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
REPLACE THEM.
AND THEIR JOB SPECIFICALLY AND
GROW THEIR ECONOMIES
BUT AS A RESULT WE FINALIZES
DEAL SEVERAL STATES.
DROP THE TAX CREDIT.
ALTOGETHER WHICH STRENGTHENS OUR
HAD.
SO THIS IS A GOOD ECONOMIC
SIMILAR DOES THE BIPARTISAN
MEASURE I WANT TO THANK THE
JOINT AUTHORS.
THE SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES AS
WELL AS THE SENATE FROM PASADENA.
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP WHEN I THINK
ARE.
SPEAKER AMERICA'S AND A PROTEST
TONI ATKINS BECAUSE WE WERE IN
THAT ROOM WHEN WE NEGOTIATE A
DEAL. WHICH WAS
GOVERNOR ONLY ONE AT THAT TIME I
THINK A HUNDRED.
WE GOT A TO THREE HUNDRED ON AN
ANNUAL BASIS FOR FIVE YEARS TO

PRESIDENT.
I'M PRESENTING SB NINE EIGHT TO
A BILL THAT WOULD INCREASE THE
AMOUNT RECEIVED FROM A CAL WORKS
GRANT IN AN EFFORT TO LIFT
FAMILIES OUT OF DEEP POVERTY.
COLLEAGUES AS YOU'LL RECALL
DURING THE STATE'S GREAT
RECESSION TWO THOUSAND EIGHT.
WE WERE FORCED TO CUT THE AMOUNT
OF AID FOR CAL WORKS RECIPIENTS
WHO ARE CHILDREN.
INCLUDING REMOVING THE COST OF
LIVING ADJUSTMENT. AND IT HAS
REMAINED ABYSMALLY LOW EVER
SINCE.
THE CURRENT MAXIMUM GRANT LEVEL
THE MAXIMUM OUT GRANT LEVEL THAT
A FAMILY CAN RECEIVE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
IS SEVEN HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
DOLLARS.
A MONTH.
THAT AMOUNT IS NINE DOLLARS
LOWER THAN THE MAXIMUM GRANT
LEVEL WAS IN TWO THOUSAND SEVEN.
IN FACT.
CAL WORKS GRANT HAS LOST MORE
THAN ONE THIRD OF THIS
PURCHASING POWER SINCE NINETEEN
NINETY EIGHT.
AND SO WHAT WE TALK ABOUT OUR
COMMITMENT TO FAMILIES WORKING
FAMILIES WITHIN THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM THANKS TO WELFARE REFORM
YOU MUST WORK ARE GOING TO GO TO
SCHOOL. FOR THESE ARE WORKING
FAMILIES.
HOW WE HAVE AN EXPECTATION THAT
MOTHERS AND FATHERS?
CAN FEED CLOTHE AND EDUCATE
THEIR CHILDREN AND KEEP THEM
WELL AND PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THEM TO THRIVE.
ONE SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS A
MONTH.
I AM NOT SURE HOW THOSE MOTHERS
AND FATHERS GET THROUGH EVERY
MONTH.
WITHOUT A SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE
GRANT LEVELS WILL HAVE REMAINED.
THE DEEP POVERTY LINE FOR ELEVEN
YEARS IN A ROW.
TO ME AND HOPEFULLY TO ALL OF
YOU THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.
IT FALLS ON US COLLEAGUES TO NOT
ONLY HELP UNDO THE HARM THAT HAS
BEEN DONE TO THE CAL WORKS
PROGRAM.
BY OUR HANDS.
BUT THE ALSO MAKE SURE WE
MAINTAIN A KEEN AWARENESS OF HOW
CUTS TO THESE PROGRAMS DISRUPT
THE FOUNDATION OF OUR MOST AT
RISK POPULATION.
CALIFORNIA'S CHILDREN.
WITH THAT MADAM PRESIDENT I ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR MITCHELL
MEMBERS DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
SENATOR HERTZBERG.
YOU NOAH.
WE TALK SO OFTEN.
ABOUT BEING THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY IN ABOUT THE
EXTRAORDINARY.
DYNAMISM OF CALIFORNIA WHICH WE
HAVE.
BUT WE ALSO HAVE DEEP POVERTY.
THE POVERTY TO ADD WHAT.
SHARE OF BUDGET SAID CAL WORKS
AVERAGE FAMILY GRANT FOR THREE
WAS FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY SEVEN
DOLLARS A MONTH WHICH IS THIRTY
SIX PERCENT OF THE FEDERAL
POVERTY LEVEL. FOR A FAMILY
LIVING ON A FIXED INCOME. AND
BELOW FIFTY PERCENT
INCIDENT LIVING IN DEEP POVERTY.
WE HAVE TO BALANCE OUT THE
LARGER DYNAMIC I REPRESENT A
COMMUNITY THAT HAS EXTRAORDINARY
WEALTH BUT IN MY IN MY COMMUNITY
ALONE I THINK IT'S.
TWENTY SIX PERCENT.
OF CHILDREN ARE LIVING IN
POVERTY.
IT'S SO I HAVE BEEN SPENT A LOT
OF TIME I DO A LOTOF GROUND
WORK IN MY COMMITTEE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THE UNION CONTRACTS
COULD IT WAS AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE.
AND
BUT THE BOTTO LINE IS IF YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE A SOCIETY THAT'S FAIR.
IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE A SOCIETY
THAT HUBERT HUMPHREY TAUGHT USED
TO TALK ABOUT JUDGE BY HOW WE
TREAT. THE MOST.
UNFORTUNATELY IN OUR SOCIETY TO
ME THAT IS COOL OR VALUES AS WE
GET OUT TO PROMOTE ALL THE OTHER
THINGS THAT WE DO WHEN I TALK
ABOUT BOTS AND BLOCK TRAINS AND
ALL THESE. GREAT NEW TECHNOLOGY
WE CAN'T LET PEOPLE. LIVE IN
DEEP POVERTY IT IS JUST
FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG AND THAT IS
THE REASON WHY THIS MEASURE
SHOULD PASS AND THAT IS THE
REASON WHY I'M SUPPORTING THIS
MEASURE.
THANK YOU CENTER HERTZBERG
SENATOR WIENER.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT I WANT
TO THANK.
THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THAT
SUPPORT AND GO FORWARD.
AND WHEN IT COMES ENDING
POVERTY IT'S NOT CHEAP TO DO
THAT I'VE THERE IS SO MUCH.
THERE IS STILL MUCH WORK TO DO.
BUT IT IS IT IS SO CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT WE ARE SUCH A WELL
THERE'S SO MUCH WEALTH IN THE
STATE. AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND
PARTICULARLY THE NUMBER OF
CHILDREN WHO WERE LIVING NOT
SYSTEM POVERTY BUT IN THE
DEEPEST KIND OF POVERTY WE KNOW
WHAT IT TAKES TO LIFT PEOPLE OUT
OF POVERTY. THIS IS NOT ROCKET
SCIENCE IT JUST TAKES THE
POLITICAL WILL TO MAKE THE
INVESTMENTS NECESSARY TO ALLOW
AYE VIS HUMAN BEINGS OUR
NEIGHBORS OUR FELLOW
CALIFORNIANS. ARE TO SUCCEED AND
SO I'D URGE UNIDO.
THANK YOU SENATOR WIENER CENTER
MCGUIRE THE COMMENDED PRESIDENT
GOOD MORNING MEMBERS.
RIVERS I COME FROM UP A PART OF
CALIFORNIA.

FAMILIES?
WE HAVE THE HIGHEST RATE OF
CHILDHOOD POVERTY PER CAPITA.
ON THE NORTH COAST RIGHT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WHICH IS WHY I STAND STRONG
SUPPORT OF S. B. NINETY TWO
BECAUSE. TOO MANY FAMILIES AND
KIDS IN THIS GREAT STATE ARE
LIVING IN POVERTY.
THIS BILL IS AN IMPORTANT STEP
FORWARD.
DANNY DE POVERTY AMONG TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF KIDS AND FAMILIES
BY RESTORING BENEFITS TO THEIR
AMOUNT PRIOR TO WELFARE REFORM.
TODAY WE HAVE A GOLDEN
OPPORTUNITY TO INVEST IN THE
STATE'S FUTURE.

I'VE HEARD SO MANY MEMBERS.
SPEAK ABOUT WHAT A GREAT.
RAY ECONOMIC ENGINE CALIFORNIA'S
WHETHER IT'S THE NINTH THE
SEVENTH OF THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.
BUT I BELIEVE THE GREATEST
MEASURE OF A STATE IS NOT. HOW
MANY RICH PEOPLE LIVE IN SEOUL

PEOPLE LIVE IN CENTRAL VALLEY?
AND THIS IS ONE.
ARE I BELIEVE OF MANY STEPS THAT
THIS WAR SHOULD TAKE.
CORD SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF
POVERTY IN CALIFORNIA AND I WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR DOING
THIS BECAUSE. WHEN YOU LIVE IN
ABJECT POVERTY AND YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT FRESH WATER
POTABLE WATER WHEN YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT IN EDUCATION WE'RE
WORRIED ALL THESE THINGS.
AND YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT A ROOF
OVER YOUR HEAD.
WE NEED TO STEP UP AND HELP YOU.
BUT I WANT YOU ALL TO THINK.
DEEPER THAN JUST GIVING OUT A
HAND OUT TO THOSE IN NEED BUT
ARE SO TO LOOK AT HOW WE FUND
EDUCATION.
YOU NO OUR FOR MORE FOR CENTRAL
VALLEY ME THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
GET UNDER THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER STUDENT IN AVERAGE DAILY
ATTENDANCE MONEY EIGHTY A MONEY.
IT WE KNOW AND SOME OF THE MAJOR
URBAN CITIES.
THEY RECEIVE THREE FOUR TIMES
THAT AMOUNT.
YOU KNOW IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST
TO MEET THEIR DAILY NEEDS
BUT WE NEED TO MEET FEET
PEOPLE'S FUTURE NEEDS AND THE
BEST WAY OUT OF POVERTY IS
EDUCATION. IN WORK OPPORTUNITIES
TIED TO OUR. THIS IS A VERY
COMMENDABLE BILL AND I'M
GRATEFUL FOR IT.
BUT I DON'T WANT US TO JUST SAY
WHAT WE DID SOMETHING FOR THEM
AND THAT WAS GOOD ENOUGH.
I THINK THAT.
THOSE IMPOVERISHED COMMUNITIES
DESERVE MORE FROM THIS FLOOR. IF
WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO FUND
BUTTERFLY FESTIVALS WE CERTAINLY
HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. TO FUND THE
POOR. URGING AYE VOTE THANK YOU
SENATOR ANDERSON SENATOR HUESO.

LATINO CAUCUS AND I'M PROUD TO

A LOT LESS POOR AND WE SHOULD DO
MORE TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
LESS POOR PEOPLE IN OUR STATE
GIVEN THAT WE HAVE. OF SUCH
PROSPERITY IN OUR STATE.
BUT IN IN THE IN ROUTE WOULD
REGARD TO THE LATINO COMMUNITY.
WE TEND TO HAVE A LARGER
INCIDENCES OF POVERTY THAN ANY
OTHER ETHNIC GROUP. FOR LATINO

JACKSON'S MISTER SECRETARY
PLEASE READ.
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN HUNDRED BY
SENATOR JACKSON AND ACT RELATING
TO EMPLOYMENT.
SENATE JACKSON THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES WE HAVE
SEEN OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS TO
YEAR THE LEAD COME OFF OF A
TERRIBLY LONG HELD SECRET. ON
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORK
FORCE.
AND AS A RESULT THIS PAST YEAR.
I WAS A HONOR TO CONDUCT A
COUPLE HEARINGS TO ADDRESS WHAT
IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON. IN THE
WORKPLACE AND WHY HAVE WE BEEN
INEFFECTIVE IN ADDRESSING THOSE
THOSE VERY SERIOUS AND
SIGNIFICANT SCOURGE ON OUR
WORKFORCE. AND ON THE WOMEN AND
FAMILIES WHO ARE SUBJECTED TO
THIS BEHAVIOR.
OVER THE PAST YEAR AS PART OF
THE MEET TWO MOVEMENT WE HAVE
HEARD STORIES AND HUNDREDS OF
WOMEN IF NOT THOUSANDS OF WOMEN.
HAVE STEPPED FORWARD TO EXPOSE
THE PREVALENCE OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT IN THE WORKPLACE AND
IN INDUSTRIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WE'VE SEEN SOME PERPETRATORS
FINALLY. BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE WE
CAN THINK NO FURTHER THAN HARVEY
WEINSTEIN NO FURTHER THAN THE
SITUATION AT U. S. C. THE IN
EXPLICABLE BEHAVIOR THAT ALLOWED
A PHYSICIAN. WHO EXAMINED TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF YOUNG WOMEN IN A
WAY THAT WAS CLEARLY CONTRARY TO
THE PROTOCOLS? OF NOT JUST THE
UNIVERSITY BUT OF MEDICINE
ITSELF AND TO GET AWAY WITH IT
OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME AND
HARVEY WEINSTEIN AND MANY MANY
OTHERS WHOSE BEHAVIOR SUDDENLY.
BECAME SUBJECT TO PUBLIC
RIDICULE AND ACTION.
THANK YOU.
OUR LAWS AND OUR WORKPLACE
CULTURE HAVE BEEN FOR FAR TOO
LONG COMPLICIT.
IN THE PERPETRATION OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT THEY PROTECTED
PERPETRATORS FORCE VICTIMS INTO
SILENCE AND FORCED THEM TO SIGN
AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO SEEK
JUSTICE IN OUR COURTS. IN
EXCHANGE FOR WAGES OR PERHAPS A
SMALL BONUS.
OUR COURTS HAVE TOO OFTEN
ALLOWED PERPETRATORS TO WALK
AWAY UNSCATHED AND VICTIMS TO GO
ON HEARD.
OUR WORKPLACES HAVE FAR TOO
OFTEN FAILED TO DRAW THE LINE
WHEN EMPLOYEES HAVE CROSSED OVER
THE LINE AND INDEED WE NEED LOOK
NO FURTHER THAN THE HALLS OF THE
LEGISLATURE HERE IN SACRAMENTO.
AND IN WASHINGTON DC AND MANY
OTHER COULD STATE HOUSES AROUND
THE NATION.
TO THAT END THIS BILL.
AFTER THESE HEARINGS AND CAREFUL
THOUGHT AND DISCUSSION WITH THE
NUMBER OF THE STAKEHOLDERS.
THOSE FOR MAJOR THINGS TO TRY TO
FINALLY ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.
AND A SLAP ON THE WRIST IS NOT
GOING TO AND DECADES IF NOT
CENTURIES OF THIS KIND OF
BEHAVIOR IN THE WORKFORCE WE
NEED ACTION.
THIS BILL PROVIDES GUIDANCE TO
THE COURTS ON THE SEVERE AND
PERVASIVE LEGAL STANDARD WHICH
BY THE WAY IS A VERY HIGH
STANDARD.
BUT WE CHOSE TO KEEP THAT
STANDARD RATHER THAN TRY TO
REDUCE IT THE WAY THEY'VE DONE
IN LA IN THE WAY THEY'VE DONE IN
NEW YORK CITY. BUT N ORDER TO
KEEP SUCH A HIGH STANDARD WE
HAVE INSISTED ON CERTAIN ACTION.
ONE OF THOSE ACTIONS IS TO GIVE
GUIDANCE TO THE COURTS.
TO GIVE GUIDANCE TO THE COURTS
SO THAT.
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE CONDUCT
IS ON WELCOME TO IT MUST BE
DISCRIMINATORY AND IT MUST MEET
THE LEVEL OF BECOMING SEVERE OR
PERVASIVE.
THIS STANDARD PROVIDES GUIDANCE
TO THE COURTSIT ENCOURAGES SOME
TO APPLY THE LAW THROUGH THE
LANDS OF THIS QUESTION.
AND THE LANDS OF THIS QUESTION
THAT WE WILL BE PROVIDING
THROUGH THIS LEGISLATION IS.
DID THE UNWELCOME BEHAVIOR
FUNDAMENTALLY DEPRIVE SOMEONE OF
AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED.
BECAUSE THAT IS IN THE END WHAT
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS ALL ABOUT.
OUR CIVIL RIGHTS.
TO THIS BILL STRENGTHENS AND
CLARIFIES EMPLOYER
ACCOUNTABILITY.
WHEN EMPLOYEES CROSSED THE LINE
EMPLOYERS NEED TO DRAW THE LINE.
ASKING FOR MASSAGES LEADING
PICTURES OF MALE GENITALIA ON A
COWORKERS DESK MAKING SEXUAL
INNUENDO CAESAR ALL EVENTS THAT
HAVE HAPPENED AND I SUSPECT.
EVERY WOMAN IN THIS ROOM.
STAND UP AND TALK ABOUT
EXPERIENCES OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
THAT SHE'S HAD DURING HER
WORKING LIFE.
I KNOW I CAN.
AND I KNOW TO THIS DAY.
THOSE EVENTS HAVE AN IMPACT
A PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT ON OUR
ABILITY TO LOOK FORWARD TO GOING
TO WORK OUR ABILITY TO PERFORM
OUR JOBS MOST EFFICIENTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY. AND TO BE ABLE TO
ENJOY WHAT WE CALL OUR TASK TO
DO AT LEAST FORTY HOURS A WEEK.
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP NOW.
SO.
THIS BILL.
WHILE MAINTAINING THAT SEVERE
AND PERVASIVE STANDARD.
THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR WE KNOW
DOESN'T BELONG IN THE WORKPLACE
AND EMPLOYERS NEED TO RESPOND
WHEN IT DOES.
YOU KNOW THAT'S HOW PREDATORS
TEST THE WATERS.
THAT'S HOW WORKPLACE CULTURE
STARTS TO DISTRICT INTEGRATED
BECOMES DISCRIMINATORY AND
UNSAFE TO WOMEN AND OTHER
VULNERABLE EMPLOYEES.
SECTION PAY OF THAT THIS BILL IS
A RESPONSE TO THAT NOW EXISTING
LAW ALREADY REQUIRES EMPLOYEES
TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE STEPS
NECESSARY. TO PREVENT
DISCRIMINATION FROM OCCURRING
BODY LOGICALLY UNDER CURRENT LAW
AN EMPLOYER'S DUTY TO PREVENT IN
HAVE A HARASSMENT ONLY KICKS IN
ONCE THE HARASSING CONDUCT HAS
REACHED OUT HIGH BAR OF SEVERE
AND PERVASIVE THAT IS. ONLY
UNTIL AN EMPLOYER HAS A
POTENTIAL LAWSUIT ON THEIR HANDS
WE ARE TRYING TO INTERCEDE
BEFORE WE END UP WITH LITIGATION
THAT IS THE POINT OF THIS
PROVISION. IT SAYS TO AN
EMPLOYER.
IF YOU KNOW AND THAT'S IMPORTANT
BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN AN EFFORT
TO MISLEAD THE LANGUAGE IS VERY
CLEAR THE EMPLOYER DOESN'T HAVE
TO GAS.
OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IF THE
EMPLOYER KNOWS THAT THIS
HARASSMENT IS TAKING PLACE THEY
HAVE A DUTY TO TAKE REASONABLE
STEPS
POSTOPERATIVE YEAR BEFORE IT
BECOMES SEVERE AND PERVASIVE.
REASONABLE STEPS LIKE TELLING
WHOEVER IT IS TO PUT THE. A
PICTURE OF MALE GENITALIA ON
SOMEONE'S DESK THAT THAT
BEHAVIORS GOTTA STOP.
THAT'S A REASONABLE ACTION BUT
WHAT WE FIND IS THAT EMPLOYERS
IGNORE THIS BEHAVIOR UNTIL WE
END UP IN LITIGATION OVER A
SEVERE AND PERVASIVE VIOLATION.
WE CLOSE LEGAL LOOPHOLES BECAUSE
HER LIEU POLLS NOW THE
PROHIBITING EMPLOYERS FROM
REQUIRING EMPOWER THEM WORKERS
TO SIGN AWAY THEIR ABILITY TO
SPEAK OUT.
AND TO FOLLOW. IN THEIR RIGHT TO
CLAIM A AGAINST THEIR EMPLOYER.
THEY DO THIS AS A CONDITION OF
EMPLOYMENT.
THIS IS GOT TO STOP.
NOW.
COLLEAGUES THERE ARE MANY OTHER
ASPECTS TO THIS AND I KNOW I
PROBABLY TALKED A LITTLE. TOO
LONG BUT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT
OF.
THERE'VE BEEN A LOT OF
MISCONCEPTIONS AND
MISREPRESENTATIONS ABOUT WHAT
THIS BILL DOES AND DOESN'T DO.
I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
THIS STUFF DISCUSSION AND
WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION BUT
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS IT IS
TIME WE STEPPED UP. IT IS TIME
WE TOOK THIS SITUATION SERIOUSLY
IT IS TIME WE STOP IN HIS TRACKS
BEFORE WE END UP WITH
SIGNIFICANT LAWSUITS. AND THE
HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF
YOUNG WOMEN WHO BUT FOR SOMEONE
COMING FORWARD SOONER WOULD HAVE
STOPPED THIS DOCTOR U. S. C.
SAVE THAT INSTITUTION WHAT I
SUSPECT WILL BE HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. AND SAVED
US FROM THE HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S
OF THIS WORLD WITHOUT I ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE.
BIGGEST INTERJECTS IN MEMBERS
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE
FLOOR. WE HAVE CENTER LABOR AND
THEY WERE GONNA GO TO SENATOR
STONE.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT
MEMBERS I WILL BE BRIEF BUT I
JUST HAVE TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF
SB THIRTEEN HUNDRED.
THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT I
COULD SPEAK ABOUT IN RETALIATION
TO THIS BILL STUDENT AND WE
RELATION THIS BILL BY ONE OF
FOUR FOCUS ON THE CORE. PORTION
OF THIS LEGISLATION WHICH IS
CIVIL RIGHTS.
IT IS A CIVIL RIGHTS BILL IN THE
SENSE THAT IS NOT JUST A BILL
ABOUT STOPPING HARM IN THE
WORKPLACE.
AT ITS CORE THIS BILL IS ABOUT
ENSURING EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY
IN THE WORKPLACE BECAUSE
HARASSMENT UNDERMINES EQUITY. S.
B. THIRTEEN HUNDRED ADDRESSES
DISCRIMINATORY DISCRIMINATORY
HARASSMENT AGAINST BOTH WOMEN
AND MEN THOUGH PRIMARY AFFECTS
WOMEN. TO AVOID HARASSERS WOMEN
MOST FREQUENTLY GIVE OPPORTUNITY
GIVE UP OPPORTUNITIES AT WORK
SUCH AS.
GOING TO WORK GOING SOMEPLACE
AFTER WORK WITH THEIR COLLEAGUES
ATTENDING THE COMPANY RETREAT.
JOINING THE BOARD WHAT I THINK
IS MOST IMPACTFUL IS STAYING
AFTER WORK TO STRATEGIZE IN PLAN
WITH YOUR CO WORKERS IF THERE'S
SOMEONE THERE THAT IS GOING TO
HARASS YOU. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
BE A PART OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS
AND MANY TIMES THAT IS WHAT
HELPS YOU ADVANCE YOUR CAREER.
OF ALL THE BIG AND LITTLE THINGS
TO HELP ADVANCE A CAREER THESE
ARE JUST SOME OF THEM. TO AVOID
HARASSERS WOMEN OFTEN QUIT JOBS
LOSING SENIORITY LOSING
ACCUMULATED BENEFITS AND PERHAPS
EVEN TAKING A PA CUT IN THE
PROCESS.
ALL THINGS THAT COMPOUND OVER
TIME.
EVERY WOMAN AND WE KNOW THAT HARASSMENT
UNDERMINES WHO WE ARE
PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY.
SO I PROUDLY STAND IN SUPPORT OF
SB THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR.
GOOD MORNING SENATOR STONE.
GOOD MORNING MISTER PRESIDENT
AND MEMBERS OF FIRST I WANNA
PREFACE MY COMMENTS TO SAY HOW
MUCH I APPRECIATE OF THE AUTHOR
FOR HER. ALWAYS STANDING UP FOR.
WOMEN'S RIGHTS OF EQUAL PAY
ENSURING THAT WOMEN ARE
PROTECTED.
IN THE WORKPLACE
AND.
I APPRECIATE ALL OF HER HER
STRONG EFFORTS.
YOU KNOW.
SEXUAL.
HARASSMENT IS NOT A NEW ISSUE
IN THE CAPITAL IT'S BEEN GOING
ON FOR MANY YEARS MANY YEARS
BEFORE MANY OF US REMAIN HERE
AND WE HAVE A COLLEAGUE IN THE
ASSEMBLY THAT MADE IT VERY CLEAR
THAT WAS A REAL ISSUE THAT NEED
TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH
LEGISLATION.
THAT BILL WAS.
.
AUTHORED BY ASSEMBLY WOMAN
MELISSA MELENDEZ.
AND THAT BILL FELL ON.
DEAF EARS IN THIS INSTITUTION
FOR YEARS BECAUSE THIS
INSTITUTION ONE AND MAKE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT.
A PARTISAN ISSUE.
UNTIL.
WE HAD THREE DEMOCRAT.
LEGISLATORS THAT HAD TO RESIGN
IN SHAME.
FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT ISSUES IN
THE CAPITAL.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE WITNESS
ALL OF.
THE MEAT TO MOVE BENTS
APPROPRIATE ME TWO MOVEMENTS
THAT WE'VE SEEN.
AND THE PRIVATE SECTOR WITH THE
HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S A THE BILL
COSBY'S OF THE WORLD.
AND.
WHAT DOES THIS?
INSTITUTION DO WELL.
IS WE DO WELL WITH KNEE JERK
REACTIONS.
TO TRY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.
THAT SOMETIMES.
GO A BIT TOO FAR.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
THE SENATE TOOK UP MELISSA
MELENDEZ IS BILL WHEN ALL THESE.
PERPETRATORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
WERE BEING.
LOOKED AT.
AND THIS BODY.
PAST.
THAT BILL. EXPEDITIOUSLY IN THE
BEST INTEREST OF PROTECTING.
OUR EMPLOYEES THAT HAVE BEEN
INTIMIDATED.
ABOUT COMING FORWARD.
AND SHARING THEIR.
HORRIFICALLY EXPERIENCES FOR
FEAR OF RETALIATION.
AND GETTING FIRED.
THAT TAKES US TO TODAY WITH S.
B. THIRTEEN HUNDRED.
AND TODAY I'M US RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO SB THIRTEEN
HUNDRED OF THIS BILL. WILL
RADICALLY LOWER THE LEGAL
STANDING THE CURRENT LEGAL
STANDING REQUIRED FOR THE FAIR
EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING EXPLAINS.
THIS BILL WILL ALLOW ANYONE TO
SUE A BUSINESS.
FOR HARASSMENT CLAIMS EVEN IF
THEY'RE NOT ACTUALLY HARM WHICH
WILL THEREBY SIGNIFICANTLY
INCREASED LITIGATION AGAINST
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYERS.
AND LIMIT THEIR AVAILABILITY.
TO INVEST IN THEIR WORKPLACE.
OR EXPAND AND CREATE NEW JOBS.
JUST LOOK AT THE AMERICAN TORT
REFORM.
CALLS CALIFORNIA
THE JUDICIAL HELL HOLE OF THE
COUNTRY.
AS I MENTIONED YESTERDAY
CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES.
ARE LEAVING THE STATE ANDROSS.
WE HAVE TO SPEND EXPENSIVE.
INCENTIVES LIKE THE ONE WE JUST
DID TO KEEP THE MOTION PICTURE
INDUSTRY HERE.
BECAUSE OF THE.
EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES OF THE
STATE THAT'S DRIVEN AMOUNT.
TEN THOUSAND GONE BETWEEN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT IN TWO THOUSAND
FIFTEEN.
AND IT'S LEGISLATION LIKE THIS.
THAT IS CAUSING.
THOSE BUSINESSES TO LEAVE OR
WORSE SHUT DOWN AND MORE
BUSINESSES.
TO THROW THE TOWEL IN.
I ONLY WISH THAT I COULD SHARE
WITH THE LEGISLATURE.
THE NUMEROUS FACEBOOK POSTS THAT
I SEE.
TELLING ME.
THAT THEY'RE PACKING UP.
THE MOVING OUT OF CALIFORNIA.
THE MOVING THEIR BUSINESSES
THEY'RE MOVING THEIR FAMILIES OR
THE FACE PROPOSES THAT WE DID IT
THREE YEARS AGO. AND WAS THE
BEST THING THAT WE EVER DID.
S. B. THIRTEEN HUNDRED.
WHO DOES A REALLY BENEFIT?
WELL ONCE AGAIN IF THE ATTORNEYS.
WHO WILL BENEFIT BY HAVING MORE
INCENTIVES TO MAKE AN EASY BUCK?
WITH A MUCH LOWER STANDARD TO
PROVE WRONGDOING.
SADLY EVEN IN SOME CASES WERE
WRONGDOING HAS NOT EVEN.
OCCURRED.
WE ALL KNOW THE BUSINESSES WILL
JUST PAY MONEY.
IT WAS CHEAP ENOUGH TO GET OUT
OF OF PROLONGED LITIGATION.
SITUATION.
LOOK AT THE OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL.
PROBABLY MOST CHAMBERS OF
COMMERCE.
IN THE STATE A CALIFORNIA
PROBABLY MANY.
IN ALL OF YOUR DISTRICTS.
BUT THERE IS A COMMON
DENOMINATOR ON THIS FLOOR.
WE ALL WANT A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.
A STATE. FREE WORKPLACE.
FOR BOTH WOMEN AND FOR MEN.
BUT THIS LEGISLATION I BELIEVE.
POSTED FAR.
IT IS NOT THE ANSWER.
WE NEED TO WORK.
CLOSER.
AND ENSURE. THAT WE HAVE THE
RIGHT TOOLS TO ENSURE. THAT
ANYBODY.
THE POST PICTURES LIKE THE
AUTHOR.
PASSAGE JUST SAID.
HAS BEEN POSTED IT AS
PERPETRATORS LIKE THAT THE NEED
TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
BUT WE NEED TO ELIMINATE GRAY
AREAS OF THE LAW.
AND A VERY SKITTISH ECONOMY.
WITH A VERY SKITTISH BUSINESS
COMMUNITY.
THE SAYING WHEN HAS ENOUGH.
I KNOW.
AGAIN I REGRET REGRETFULLY URGE
A NO VOTE ON S. B. THIRTEEN
HUNDRED.
THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERATION
THANK YOU SENATOR STONE CENTER
JACKSON PLEASE CLOSE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT WE GET OUT CONTINUE TO
BE THE FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN

FICTITIOUS A OF THE EXODUS IS OF
VARIOUS COMPANIES AND THE NOTION
THAT SUPPORTING WOMEN FROM
SEXUAL HARASSMENT. A IS MOVING
BUSINESSES OUT OF THE STATE IS
PREPOSTEROUS AT BEST.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT.
.
A.
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS A GENDER
ISSUE IT'S NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE.
OF WE HAVE SEXUAL HARASSERS THAT
ARE IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE HAVE SEXUAL HARASSERS THAT
COME FROM BOTH PARTIES.
AND FRANKLY AS A WOMAN I FIND
MYSELF SOMEWHAT INSULTED. AT THE
NOTION THAT THIS IS A PARTISAN
ISSUE.
HARASSMENT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS
GOT TO STOP.
AND THIS IS A CAREFULLY CRAFTED
MEASURE. THAT IS GOING TO
ENCOURAGE INDEED REQUIRE
EMPLOYERS.
TO TAKE REASONABLE STEPS.
THE STOP SITTING ON THEIR HANDS.
THE TAKE ACTIVE STEPS TO PREVENT
THIS BEHAVIOR FROM RISING TO THE
LEVEL WHEN IT BECOMES.
SUBJECT TO LITIGATION.
THIS IS A BILL ABOUT PREVENTION
NOT RETALIATION.
IT IS BEEN CAREFULLY CRAFTED
AFTER A NUMBER OF HEARINGS
WORKING WITH A VARIETY OF STAKE
HOLDERS. AND MAKING SURE THAT WE
ARE GOING TO MOVE THIS ISSUE
FORWARD AND STOP THIS HARASSMENT
ONCE AND FOR ALL. AND LET ME
JUST FINALLY SAY IF YOU READ THE
BILL YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE TO
BE PERSONALLY IMPACTED TO BRING
A LAWSUIT.
I SURE WISH PEOPLE WOULD DO THAT
EVERY NOW AND THEN JUST READ THE
LANGUAGE OF THE BILL IT'S QUITE
CLEAR. AND WITH THAT COLLEAGUES
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP
FORWARD IF WE REALLY WANT TO
ADDRESS. AND ATTACK SEXUAL
HARASSMENT THIS IS A GOOD START.
I WOULD URGE DRIVE VOTE.

MISTER SECRETARY PLEASE READ.
SENATE BILL TEN FOURTEEN BY
SENATOR SKINNER AND ACT RELATED
VEHICLES CENTER SKINNER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MANIFESTED MEMBERS.
S. B. TEN FOURTEEN RECOGNIZES
THAT
UNFORTUNATELY TAILPIPE EMISSIONS
FROM FOSSIL FUEL POWERED
VEHICLES.
THERE ARE STILL OUR BIGGEST
SOURCE OF BOTH AIR POLLUTION.
AND THE POLLUTION THAT
CONTRIBUTES TO CLIMATE CHANGE.
I AM IN UNFORTUNATELY CALIFORNIA
STILL HAS MANY MANY COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE IN NON ATTAINMENT AREAS
FOR AIR POLLUTION.
NOW ARE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
COMPANIES
WHICH PROVIDE US THE RIDE
HAILING SERVICE'S.
ARE GROWING IN POPULARITY WHICH
I COMPLETELY APPRECIATE AS A
USER OF THEM MYSELF BECAUSE THEY
GET YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO GO
QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY.
BUT AS WE RELY MORE AND MORE ON
THIS TRANSPORTATION SERVICE.
IT'S.
IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE ENGAGE
THOSE COMPANIES IN ASSISTING US
TO MEET. OUR GOALS THAT WILL
CLEANER AIR IN PROTECT OUR
CLIMATE AND SPECIFICALLY THOSE
ARE GOALS FOR ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES.
NOW WHAT TEN FOURTEEN DOES.
IS IT SACKS.
OR STAB WISHES CLEAN MILD
TARGETS
FOR EITHER THE VEHICLE MILES OR
THE PASSENGER MILES WE'VE LEFT
FLEXIBILITY THERE.
BY VEHICLES THAT ARE DEPLOYED BY
OUR TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
COMPANIES KNOWING MAKE THAT
DISTINCTION BECAUSE THE BILL
DOES NOT AFFECT. ALL DRIVERS
THAT ARE DRIVERS FOR THESE
COMPANIES.
IT DOES NOT AFFECT ALL VEHICLES
THEN IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE
TOTAL VOLUME OF MILES.
IT'S A REASONABLE THE FIRST IT'S
TWENTY PERCENT THE SECOND GOAL
IS FIFTY PERCENT WE'VE
ELIMINATED THE HUNDRED PERCENT
GOAL ENTIRELY FOR. THE DRIVERS
AND INSTEAD THE HUNDRED PERCENT
GOAL WHICH IS MANY YEARS INTO
THE FUTURE. ONLY IMPACTS THE
COMPANIES THEMSELVES IF THEY
CHOOSE TO START BUILDING A FLEET
AND BUYING THEIR OWN CARS.
I'M AMENDMENTS WERE TAKEN THAT
WERE SUGGESTED BY THE
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES
WERE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH
THEM OR I WILL SAY I AM.
AND ADDITIONALLY WE JUST AGREED
YESTERDAY TO A SET OF AMENDMENTS
THAT WERE REQUESTED BY UBER FOR
EXAMPLE BUT DOES WE WILL HAVE TO
TAKE. IN THE.
ASSEMBLY SO THIS IS A VERY
REASONABLE BILL IT WILL HELP.
CLEAN AIR AND.
ALLOW WAS TO FEEL IN GOOD FAITH
WHEN WE. USE THESE VERY
CONVENIENT RIDE HAILING
SERVICE'S WITHOUT I ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE.
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION DEBATER
DISCUSSION SENATOR STONE.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND.
AND I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE UP
BY. MY GOOD FRIEND UP FROM.
OAKLAND AND HER ATTEMPTS TO TRY
TO. DO WHAT WE CAN TO HAVE.
CLEANER AIR IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
BUT MEMBERS I REGRETFULLY HAVE
TO STAND IN OPPOSITION S. B. TEN
ONE FOUR.
COLLEAGUES WE WITNESS A NEW BAR
BUSINESS MODEL GROWING.
AND MANY.
AREAS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
COMPANIES LIKE UBER AND LEFT.
THAT DATA CONNECT PEOPLE.
WAS SERVICES OR PRODUCTS
ESPECIALLY.
GETTING A RIDE FROM ONE PLACE TO
ANOTHER.
MY WIFE AND AYE COMMONLY USE.
BOTH OF THESE.
WE GO OUT TO A RESTAURANT
EVERYONE EVER DRINK IT'S ALWAYS
NICE TO. NOT WORRY ABOUT
DRINKING AND DRIVING AND HAVING
A SAFE.
RETURN HOME.
AND WHILE I UNDERSTAND MY
COLLEAGUES INTENT TO REDUCE THE
EMISSIONS OF VEHICLES ON THE
ROAD.
I HAVE TO RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
WITH THIS DIRECTION.
YOU SEE I'M LIKE.
TRADITIONAL TAXI SERVICES THE
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES
OR PNC'S AS WE CALL THEM NOW.
ARE NOT IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF
THEIR FLEET.
EACH VEHICLE DRIVING IN THE TNC
IS NOT A TAXI BUT A CONTRACTOR
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO WORKS WHEN
THEY WANT. FOR AS LONG AS THEY
WANT.
I CAN TELL YOU A LOT OF.
PART TIME PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING TO LIVE IN MY
DISTRICT HAVE FOUND A WAY TO
MAKE ENDS MEET.
BY.
GOING ON THE ROAD.
TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY WHEN
AFFECTS OUR SCHEDULES TO. PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE.
TO MAKE SURE THEIR CHILDREN ARE
CLOSE TO MAKE SURE THEIR
CHILDREN GET TO SCHOOL. TO MAKE
SURE GRANDMA GETS TO THE
DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT.
MANY OF THESE DRIVERS USE TNC
SAYS.
BASICALLY SECONDARY INCOME IN
THEIR OFF TIME.
OR ALL MAKING THEIR COMMUTE.
HOME FROM WORK.
WHO ARE THESE TNC IS MOST OF
THEM?
OUR LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME
INDIVIDUALS.
WHO USE THEIR PERSONAL VEHICLES
TO GET TO WORK IN THEIR OFF TIME
MAKE SOME EXTRA MONEY?
THIS BILL EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATES
pCALIFORNIANS USED TO PAY BILLS.
AND ENTITLES ONLY THOSE THEIR
COMPETITORS.
WHO CAN AFFORD A ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
ECONOMY WHY?
WHAT WE WANNA LIMIT THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOW INCOME
PEOPLE?
TO TRY TO HELP THEMSELVES
FINANCIALLY AND STAY OFF THE
WELFARE ROLLS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
SO I BELIEVE THE THE MOTIVATION
BEHIND THE BILL IS NOBLE.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE WAY THE
BILL'S WRITTEN.
IT'S GOING TO PUT SOME.
PRIVATE CONTRACTORS IT.
ARE A PART OF THE TNC INDUSTRY
EFFECTIVELY. OUT OF BUSINESS.
AND NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR
THEIR FAMILIES.
AND AGAIN WE MAY SEE JUST
ANOTHER FURTHER GROWTH OF OUR
WELFARE ROLES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO ADOPTED.
THOSE ARE REASONS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR A NO VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR STONE SENATOR
ANDERSON.
SENATORS ARE I LOVE CLEANER.
I DON'T KNOW ANYBODY IN THIS
FLOOR THAT'S.
ROOTING FOR THIRTY YEAR WE ALL
OF CLEAN AIR.
BUT I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE
CAREFUL AS WE MOVE FORWARD THESE
TNC.
YOU KNOW.
I GET I HAVE.
SOME SOFTWARE ON MY PHONE.
AND IT HELPS WITH DIRECTIONS
AND I DON'T WANT TO CALL OUT A
BRAND.
BUT THEY STARTED CARPOOLING
SERVICE.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WITH THE
TNC I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW MANY
COLLEGE KIDS.
WERE PART OF THAT MOVEMENT.
AND THEY WERE PART OF THAT
MOVEMENT BECAUSE THEY WERE
LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO SHARE THE
COST.
BY CAR POOLING FROM COLLEGE HOME
OR TO OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE
STATE.
AND WHILE SOME PEOPLE TO IT FOR
PROFIT TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
ARE BETWEEN JOBS WHICH IS
TERRIFIC.
OTHER PEOPLE DO IT BECAUSE IT'S
A GREAT WAY TO CARPOOL.
I THINK CARPOOL IT'S A GOOD
THING
I THINK IT MOVES US TOWARDS ZERO
EMISSIONS RIDE LOWERING THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.
AND I JUST WANNA BE CAREFUL THAT
WE'RE NOT CRUSHING THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE TO MAKE
A BUCK. BY SHARING THE ROAD WITH
ANOTHER IN THE CAR.
AND I FEAR.
THIS BILL.
WILL DO MORE HARM THAN HELP.
NOW ARE ALSO.
BELIEVE THERE IF THE GOAL IS
ZERO EMISSIONS MOM WE JUST SAY.
EVERYBODY WHO'S A BILLIONAIRE
THAT LIVES IN CALIFORNIA THEY
CAN ONLY DRIVE ZERO EMISSIONS.
BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD IT.
THEY CAN DO IT YOU KNOW STILL
HAVE THE SAME OUTCOME BUT ALWAYS
FARM BILLS SEEM TO FOCUS. ON THE
LOWER MIDDLE CLASS THE WORKING
POOR.
THEN I JUST WE JUST PASSED A
BILL TO HELP.
POOR PEOPLE.
SUBSIDIZE FOOD AND HOUSING.
I HATE THAT IT THE FIRST TIME
THEY A FORT A CARD MORE TO PAY
FOR IT. THERE THEY HIRE OUT AND
NOW WE'RE COMING THEM THEY DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO EITHER. SO.
I WOULD ENCOURAGE NOT VOTING
FOR THIS ALTHOUGH I HOLD THE
AUTHOR IN THE HIGHEST ESTEEM I
ENJOY WORKING WITH HER SHE SAID.
DYNAMIC SENATOR BUT I THINK
SHE'S GOING THE WRONG WAY ON
THIS BILL. SO LISTED ON THE
RIGHT ROAD.
ANY FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION
SING IN HEARING NONE SENATOR
SKINNER YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU
I APPRECIATE.
MY COLLEAGUES.
CONCERNS ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
IMPACT ON LOW INCOME DRIVERS. I
WOULD SAY THAT WHILE CALIFORNIA
IT DEFINITELY HAS AN INCREASING
NUMBER OF BILLIONAIRES.
PROBABLY NOT MORE THAN ABOUT TWO
HUNDRED OF OUR RESIDENTS SO IT
WOULDN'T DO A LOT FOR OUR AIR
QUALITY IF WE JUST HAD OUR
BILLIONAIRES DRIVE SENIOR ZERO
MIR. MISSION VEHICLES.
BUT THAT'S SAID.
WE KNOW THAT THE PRICE OF ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES ARE COMING
DOWN. AND CALIFORNIA IS
INVESTING IN AND WE HAVE BEEN WE
ARE INCREASING IT IN THIS
UPCOMING BUDGET ALL THINGS AT
LEAST THE BOTH SENATE AND THE.
GOVERNOR HAVE PUT FORWARD AN
INCREASE IN THE CALIFORNIA
VEHICLE REBATE PROGRAM WHICH
HELPS OUR RESIDENTS.
.
GET A LITTLE BREAK ON THEIR
PURCHASER OF ZERO EMISSION
VEHICLES.
AND WE ARE ALSO INVESTING IN
INCREASING THE CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE UP AND DOWN OUR
STATE SO WE ARE REALLY SENDING
THE MARKET SIGNALS. TO HELP OUR
GOALS FOR TRANSPORTATION
ELECTRIC ELECTRIFICATION NOW
THIS BILL IS VERY COMPARABLE TO
THAT BECAUSE IT HAS REASONABLE
SMALL GOALS.
IN.
IN FIVE YEARS FROM NOW ONLY
TWENTY PERCENT OF THE MILES FOR
OUR TNC VEHICLES BEING HONEST
WITH THE A STEPS.
AND THEN ULTIMATELY FIFTY
PERCENT BUT THAT'S WELL INTO THE
FUTURE SO WE'VE DESIGNED IT TO.
TO BASICALLY ACCOMODATE ODD
NUMBER ONE NOT AFFECT ALL
DRIVERS NUMBER TO. A.
COMPLEMENT THOSE INVESTMENTS THE
STATE IS ALREADY MAKING AND
KNOWING THAT THE PRICES COMING
DOWN FOR SUCH VEHICLES
SO I THINK WE'VE BEEN VERY VERY
SENSITIVE TO THESE ISSUES AROUND
THE POTENTIAL IMPACT ON LOW
INCOME DRIVERS OF OUR SERVICES.
AND AS A RESULT OF OUR.
ADDRESSING THAT IN THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE BILL WE HAVE
MY BILL HAS THE SUPPORT OF BOTH
THE WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY AND ALSO THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ALLIANCE.
AND WITH THAT I WOULD ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR SKINNER ALL
DEBATE HAVING SEIZE COLLEAGUES
WE ARE GOING TO. A GO THROUGH

ITEM ON CALL SO IF YOU ARE

SENATOR GLAZER MISTER SECRETARY
PLEASE READ SENATE BILL TWELVE
THIRTY FIVE BY SENATOR GLAZER AN
ACT RELATING TO COMMERCIAL
FINANCING.
SENATOR GLAZER PLEASE PROCEED.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS.
I YOU KNOW MAYBE IT'S A SMALL
BUSINESS MONTH HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND TODAY I'M PRESENTING YOU A
BILL THAT WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS
BENEFIT TO MILLIONS OF SMALL
BUSINESS.
MEMBERS IN THIS STATE.
BUT THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE
LENDERS AND FINANCE COMPANIES.
TO PROVIDE CLEAR AND CONSISTENT
DISCLOSURES TO SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS.
WHEN THEY OFFER THEM FINANCING.
AND WHEN THEY CLOSE A DEAL.
UNTIL NOW OUR TRUTH IN LENDING
LAWS HAVE APPLIED ONLY DO
CONSUMER FINANCE.
BUSINESS OWNERS WERE LEFT TO
FEND FOR THEMSELVES ON THE
THEORY THAT THEY WERE
SOPHISTICATED MERCHANTS.
WHO UNDERSTOOD THE WORLD OF
FINANCE?
INCREASINGLY THOUGH.
THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE.
TODAY SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS ARE
OFTEN.
IMMIGRANT ENTREPRENEUR
STRUGGLING TO GET THEIR
ENTERPRISE OFF THE GROUND. WITH
LITTLE KNOWLEDGE.
BUT THE FINANCE INDUSTRY.
OTHERS ARE YOUNG PEOPLE FOR
RETIREES.
WHO WORK FOR THEMSELVES IN
TRADES? WHERE THEIR PREDECESSORS
WOULD HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED BY A
LARGE COMPANY?
TRADITIONAL BANKS MEANWHILE ARE
NO LONGER INTERESTED IN MAKING
SMALLER LOANS.
INSET INSTEAD THAT SPACE IN THE
MARKET IS BEING FILLED BY
INNOVATIVE LENDERS OFFERING AN
ARRAY OF FINANCIAL OPTIONS.
THIS NEW ONLINE INDUSTRIES BRING
CAPITAL THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT
BADLY.
I APPLAUD THEIR CREATIVITY.
BUT THERE ARE ABUSES.
TOO MANY SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
ARE FINDING THEMSELVES SADDLED
WITH DEBT THEY CANNOT AFFORD.
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND
THE TERMS OF THEIR LOAN.
RESEARCH FOR THE FEDERAL RESERVE
BANKS SHOWED THAT EVEN BUSINESS
OWNERS WHO THINK THEY UNDERSTAND
FINANCES.
ARE WILDLY WRONG WHEN THEY ARE
ASKED TO ESTIMATE THE COSTS ARE
INTEREST RATES OF DIFFERENT
FINANCE OPTIONS ON THE
MARKETPLACE.
THIS BILL OFFERS A MODEST
MEASURED.
DISCLOSURE TO HELP LEVEL THE
PLAYING FIELD FOR THE SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS.
THE DISCLOSURE WOULD TELL A A
BUSINESS OWNER IN CLEAR LANGUAGE.
THE AMOUNT THAT THEY'RE
BORROWING.
FEES THAT THEY ARE PAYING.
HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO REPAY
THE LOAN?
AND THE ANNUAL OR ANNUALIZED
INTEREST RATE.
NOW THE LENDERS KNOW ALL THIS
INFORMATION ALREADY.
SOME OF THEM EVEN DISCLOSE IT IN
THE FINANCIAL MARKETS WHEN THEY
PACKAGE THEIR SMALL BUSINESS
LOANS AND SELL THEM. AS
SECURITIES.
ALL WE ARE ASKING IS THAT THEY
DISCLOSE THE SAME INFORMATION TO
THEIR CUSTOMERS.
WHAT IS GOOD FOR WALL STREET?
SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH FOR MAIN
STREET.
NOW THERE'S BEEN A NUMBER OF
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
ABOUT THIS BILL AS IT MOVES
ALONG ITS PROCESS.
I AND THE CONCERN IS ABOUT THE
ISSUE OF JUST WOOD DISCLOSURE
WORK WITH ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF
LENDING.
AND WE'VE BEEN VERY WORKING VERY
HARD.
TO PROVIDE FOR THAT BUT THERE
ARE SOME EXAMPLES LIKE AN
EQUIPMENT LEASING.
WORD.
SHOULD NOT APPLY.
AND I DON'T WANT IT TO APPLY.
AND I COMMIT TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH INDUSTRY TO ENSURE.
THAT DISTANCE
DISCLOSURE WORKS.
WE WANT MORE FARE LENDING NOT
LESS.
I WANT TO THANK THE CHAIRMAN OF
THE BANKING COMMITTEE THE
SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES.
THROUGH HIS WORK AND THAT OF HIS
STAFF HAS MADE THIS BILL BETTER.
I WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR OF THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
SENATOR FROM SANTA BARBARA WHO
ALSO WORKED ON THIS BILL.
AND IT'S WHY THERE IS A FOUR
YEAR SUNSET. IN THE BILL.
AND WITHOUT MEMBERS I'D ASK YOUR
CONSIDERATION TODAY AND. HELP
FOR A YES VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER DEBATER
DISCUSSION SENATOR GAINES.
THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS AYE OUR.
RISE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS
LEGISLATION BUT.
MAYBE.
WOULD LOOK DIFFERENTLY ON IT IF
AMENDMENTS ARE TAKEN AS IT COMES
BACK.
FROM THE ASSEMBLY I BELIEVE
THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL
MEHMET'S BUTTA MAYBE YOU COULD.
OF RESPOND TO THAT.
AFTER I CLOSE IT DURING YOUR
CLOTHES BUT.
MY CONCERN IS THAT WE ARE AND
MAKE SURE THAT THAT SMALL
BUSINESSES HAVE ACCESS TO
CAPITAL. SOMETIMES INDEED THAT
ACCESS TO CAPITAL VERY QUICKLY
OF FOR INSTANCE LET'S SAY YOU
HAD A RESTAURATEUR. WHILE WITH A
PIZZA OVEN AND A PIZZA OVEN WENT
OUT A YOU HAD TO REPLACE IT VERY
VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE YOU HAVE
CASH FLOW.
.
COMING AND THAT'S THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT.
TO THE VIABILITY OF YOUR
BUSINESS YEAH YOU'RE RUNNING OUT
OF BUSINESS FOR WHICH YOU'RE
TURNING OUT A LOT OF PIZZA ES.
AND DUH YOU NEED THAT REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. AND.
BUSINESS OWNERS ARE WILLING TO
PAY MORE TO GET THE APPROVAL
PROCESS DONE IN A QUICK MANNER.
CHEF I GET YOU ALONE APPROVED TO
IN A DAY. AND GET THAT PIZZA
OVEN REPLACED WITHIN TWENTY FOUR
HOURS THAN MY DOWNTIME IS SUCH
THAT I'M WILLING TO PAY A HIGHER
RATE.
FOR MY LOAN SOMETIMES HE'S
EARNED IN AND.
IN THE FOR A FEES MAY BE PAID
UP FRONT FEE.
OF BACK IN ACTION EXAGGERATE
WHAT APRS
AND SO.
.
I'VE BY LIKE THE IDEA DISCLOSURE
I THINK.
.
THE GOOD CENTER FOR DARIUS ON ON
THE RIGHT TRACK THERE BUT I WANT
TO MAKE SURE IT'S NOT
EXAGGERATED IN THE WRONG WAY IN
TERMS OF AND. A APR
INTERPRETATION THAT MAY BE
INVALID.
WHEN IT'S MORE OF A FEW BASS.
OF A BUSINESS OWNER I'M WILLING
TO PAY A THOSAND BUCKS GET MY
LOAN APPROVED QUICKLY TO GET
THAT PASSED THE CASH IMMEDIATELY
SO I CAN REPLACE THAT EQUIPMENT.
THERAPIST THIS POINT ON THE NO
VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR GATES ANY
FURTHER DEBATE OR DISCUSSION
THING IN HEARING NONE SENATOR
CLOSE YOU MAY CLOSE.
WELL I THINK THE SENATOR FROM EL
DORADO FOR HIS SET THOUGHTFUL
CONSIDERATION OF THE BILL IN THE
CONCERNS THAT HE'S REYES BECAUSE.
I SHARE THE AME CONCERN I WANT
THAT PIZZA OWNER TO BE ABLE TO
REPLACE THAT OF AND UP QUICKLY.
AND I THINK THAT THE.
AND NOTHING IN THIS BILL WOULD
BECAUSE EVEN A DISCLOSURE
DOESN'T MEAN THAT THAT THAT THE
PERSON THAT'S BORROWING THE
MONEY. I AT IT DOESN'T PREVENT
THEM FROM MAKING ANY CHOICES IN
THE MARKETPLACE THEY WANT TO
MAKE.
BUT THE CHALLENGE IN WHAT'S
THERE TODAY IS THAT THERE IS NO
WAY FOR THAT PIZZA OWNER. OR
THAT OTHER SMALL BUSINESS PERSON
WHO HAS THE TIME AND I
APPRECIATE THAT TIME SENSITIVITY
I SHOULDN'T GET THIS BILL
DOESN'T GET IN THE WAY OF MAKING
QUICK CHOICES.
BUT THEY'RE NOT IN A POSITION
TODAY TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE
CHOICE BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO
COMPAE. AYE THOSE IN THE
INDUSTRY SAY THAT I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO TELL THEM WHAT THE COST
OF THE MONEY IS.
BUT THAT REALLY IS IN A A A.
DISCLOSURE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO
GO TO THE OTHER LANDER AND TO
ASK
FOR THE TOTAL COSTS THE MONEY IN
THE SAME WAY THAT IT'S BEING
OFFERED TO THEM BECAUSE.
IT'S ABOUT THE INTEREST RATE AND
IT'S ABOUT THE TIME DURATION ARE
YOU GONNA BORROW THE MONEY FOR
TEN DAYS. OR FOR SIX MONTHS.
AND BECAUSE THE IN THAT THE
MARKETPLACE IS LIKE A BIZARRE
WITH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE SAME
BORROW MONEY FROM ME HERE'S MY
GREAT DEAL. THAT HAVE BECOME SO
DIFFICULT FOR THAT SMALL
BUSINESS OWNER.
.
AND AND THE REASON THAT THIS
BILL HAS THE ANNUALIZED COST OF
CAPITAL IS BECAUSE IT TRIES TO
CREATE A FRAME IN WHICH YOU CAN
COMPARE ACROSS THE BOARD MATTER
WHO WANTS TO LEND YOU THE MONEY.
BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE LOOKED
AT OVER A TWELVE MONTH PERIOD
BECAUSE THE DURATION OF THE TIME
DURATION MATTERS TO THE
CALCULATION.
SO EVEN IF THE LOANS FOR TWO
WEEKS REFER TO MY ANSWER FOR TWO
YEARS HOW DO YOU COMPARE. WILL
THAT WE DO IT JUST LIKE ON THE
COVER ON THE ON THE PERSONAL
LENDING SIDE WITH THE A PR.
IT'S THE ANNUALIZED COST IN THE
SAME WHAT'S WHAT'S BEING
PROPOSED IN THIS BILL IS THE
ANNUALIZED COST.
SO EVEN IF YOU'RE LENDING TIME
PERIOD SHORTER LONGER AT LEAST
YOU HAVE A WAY TO COMPARE THAT'S
ALL THE DISCLOSURE REALLY DOES
IT DOESN'T PREVENT THAT SMALL
BUSINESS OWNER FOR MAKING ANY
CHOICES. IN THE MARKETPLACE
BECAUSE OF THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES
POLICE ALLOWS HIM TO GO TO
LENDER A BNC AND SEE IF THEY
CHOSE SO CHOOSE HOW IT MY
COMPARED TO HELP THEM MAKE A
BETTER CHOICE. WITHOUT MEMBERS
THANK YOU FOR THE CONSIDERATION
AND THE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER ALL

BRYCE TO BRING YOU S. B. THIRTY
NO THREE BILL THAT REQUIRES THE
MEDICAL EXAMINER'S OFFICE TO BE
ESTABLISHED IN LIEU OF SHERIFF
CORNER AND COUNTIES OF THE
POPULATION OF FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND BOARD THAT ARE NOT
CHARTER COUNTIES.
THIS BRINGS OUR FORENSIC AUTOPSY
SYSTEM INTO THE MODERN AGE.
CURRENTLY CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF
THE THREE LAST STATES MAINTAIN A
SHERIFF CORNER MODEL TO
INVESTIGATE SUSPICIOUS DEATHS.
IN THIS OUTDATED MODEL THE
SHERIFF DISCHARGED CONDUCTING
AUTOPSIES AND INVESTIGATING
SUSPICIOUS DEATHS INCLUDING
THOSE INVOLVING A LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WHO MAY EVEN
BE IN THEIR OWN DEPARTMENT.
CURRENTLY THE MAJORITY OF
SHERIFF GUY CALIFORNIA COUNTIES
OPERATED CHEF CORNER MODEL
WHEREBY THE SHERIFF RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE INVEST THAT
INVESTIGATION.
WHILE EIGHT LICENSE POSITION
MUST ACTUALLY CONDUCT THE
AUTOPSY DID THE TERMINATION OF
THE MANNER OF THE DEATH WHETHER
IT'S AN ACCIDENT HOMICIDE OR.
OTHERWISE REMAINS VESTED IN THE
SHARE.
THIS MEANS UNDERSHERIFF QUORUM
MODEL SOMEONE WITH NO MEDICAL
BACKGROUND OR EXPERTISE IN
FORENSIC PATHOLOGY CAN OVERRULE
A BOARD CERTIFIED FORENSIC
PATHOLOGIST AS IT PERTAINS TO A
MATTER OF DEATH DETERMINATION.
S. B. THIRTY NO THREE IS IN
RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS OF
IMPROPER INFLUENCE INTO THE MAT
MEDICAL DETERMINATIONS OF
POSITIONS CONDUCTING AUTOPSIES.
FOR EXAMPLES HAS BEEN RECENTLY
DOCUMENTS SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY.
AND THAT COUNTY TO QUALIFIED
FORENSIC PATHOLOGISTS RESIGNED.
HAD TO RESIGN IN LATE TWENTY
SEVENTEEN.
ALLEGING THE SHERIFF HAD
PRESSURED THEM INTO CHANGING
THEIR FINDINGS REPORT OUTLINING
THE CAUSE AND MANNER OF DEATH OF
INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED IN OFFICER
RELATED DEATHS.
THE PHYSICIANS ALSO LET'S A
CRITICAL INFORMATION WAS
WITHHELD FOR THE PURPOSE OF
FRUSTRATING THEIR ABILITY TO
ACTUALLY DETERMINE THE TYPE IN
MANNER OF AN INDIVIDUAL STAFF.
ASSURING THAT AUTOPSIES ARE DONE
IN AN ETHICAL AND EQUITABLE
MANNER IS ESSENTIAL AND DURING
THAT WE HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
THESE AUTOPSIES ARE OFTEN THE
BASIS FOR CRIMINAL CHARGES IS
IMPERATIVE THAT THE PUBLIC

THE NECESSARY FAXES TURMAN FAULT
ENSURE JUSTICE.
ADDITIONALLY CLINICAL
DETERMINATIONS MADE BY POSITIONS

INFLUENCE.
S. B. THIRTY NO THREE IS A VITAL.
BILL THAT SAFEGUARDS
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM BY
INSULATING THE FORENSIC
PATHOLOGISTS FROM UNDUE PRESSURE
INTRUSION. BY INDIVIDUALS
WITHOUT MEDICAL TRAINING AND
POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
I EXPECT WE ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU SENATOR PAN DEBATE OR
DISCUSSION SENATOR GALGIANI.
MEMBERS THE NEED FOR THIS BILL
IS BECAUSE OF SOME ACTIONS THAT
OCCURRED AND SALAS KING COUNTY
SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW DR BENNETT
AMALA WHO WAS PART OF THE MOVIE
CONCUSSION. WHO IS ONE OF THE
MOST? WORLD RENOWNED FORENSIC
PATHOLOGISTS AND HE WAS THE
CHIEF MEDICAL EXAMINER IN SAN
JOAQUIN COUNTY WHO RESIGNED AND
IT'S HIS RESIGNATION THAT
PROMPTED THIS. SOME OF YOU WILL
REMEMBER THAT AND TWENTY TWELVE
WHEN I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY.
WE HAD AND TWO SERIAL KILLERS
THAT HAD BEEN ACTIVE IN OUR
DISTRICT WESLEY SHERMAN TIENEN
LORNE HERTZOG IN AT THAT TIME.
WE PRESSURED THE SHERIFF TO DO
OF RECOVERY OF MISSING PERSONS
FROM A WELL THAT WAS SIXTY FEET
DEEP.
AT THAT TIME HE HAD DR AMALA WHO
ON STAFF IS THE CHIEF. MEDICAL
PATHOLOGIST
BUT HE CHOSE NOT TO CONSULT WITH
HIM.
HE DID NOT CONSULT WITH HIM AT
ALL EXISTED HE RECOVERED THE
REMAINS OF SIXTEEN YEAR OLD JOE
AND HOPS AND KIMBERLY BELLY. AND
UNKNOWN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN
AND HER BABY FROM A WELL WITH A
BULLDOZER.
BUT THE BACK CO.
AND CRASH THE REMAINS AND
COMMINGLED THE REMAINS
AND TO THIS DAY.
THE UNIDENTIFIED REMAINS OF THE
AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN AND HER
BABY HAD NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AND
THOSE REMAINS HAVE NOT BEEN
BURIED.
FAST FORWARD WESLEY SHERMAN TIME
WAS WRITING LETTERS ABOUT WAR
WHERE MORE VICTIMS WERE BURIED.
IN CALAVERAS COUNTY.
THE SHERIFF GOT PERMISSION FROM
SEND EVANDER HEINZ FAMILY TO
CREMATE THE THREE BONES THAT HE
THEY HAD FOUND OF HER REMAINS.
ALL THE WHILE THEY WERE
INTERCEPTING LETTERS ABOUT
WESLEY SHERMAN TYING SAYING THIS
IS WHERE I BURIED HER LETTERS
THAT WERE WRITTEN TO ME. AND A
DAY AFTER THEY GOT PERMISSION TO
CREMATE HER REMAINS. THEY WENT
OUT TO THE SITE. AND THEY
QUIETLY WITHOUT TELLING THE
FAMILY OR THE PRESS OR ANYBODY.
AND THEY NEVER NOT NOTIFY DR
AMALA THEY QUIETLY WENT OUT AND
RECOVERED ADDITIONAL REMAINS
THAT ARE LISTED. AND REPORT.
ADDITIONAL REMAINS OF SANDY
WITHOUT EVER TELLING A FAMILY
AND THEY PROCEEDED TO CREMATE
THOSE REMAINS WITHOUT SAYING A
WORD TO ANYBODY.
DOCTOR AMAL WAS NEVER NOTIFIED
YOU NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO.
THE TO ENGAGE AND TO SAY HOW
THAT CRIME SCENE SHOULD HAVE
BEEN TREATED AND HOW THOSE
REMAINS SHOULD HAVE BEEN
RESPECTFULLY TREATED.
COME TO FIND OUT.
SEVENTY POUNDS.
IS WHAT WAS CREMATED. MANY FIFTY
EIGHT POUNDS OF REMAINS WERE
CREMATED.
FAR MORE THAN WHATEVER SHOULD
HAVE BEEN THE TOTALITY FOR THE.
FOR THE CREMATION OF ONE
INDIVIDUAL AND TO THIS DAY THERE
ARE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO BELIEVE
THAT THEIR MISSING LOVED ONES
WERE ALSO FOUND. AND CREMATED
ALONG WITH CINDY VANDER HAYDN
AND THEY WILL NEVER KNOW IF FROM
ONE OF THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WAS
PERHAPS AT THE SCENE. AND I
REMIND YOU THAT WE HAD THE WORLD
RENOWNED.
FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST DR BENNETT
O. MODELO WHO SHOULD HAVE AND
COULD HAVE CONSULTED AT THAT
SITE. AND IT WAS NEVER ALLOWED
THE OPPORTUNITY THAT MEMBERS. IS
WHAT PROMPTED THIS LEGISLATION

SEVEN SENATOR NEWMAN. MISTER
SECRETARY PLEASE THREE. SENATE
BILL THIRTEEN NINETY FOUR BY
SENATOR NEWMAN AN ACT RELATING
TO ELECTIONS.
THANK YOU SENATOR DOESN'T.
YOU NO MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO TREAT
EVERY BILL. LIKE IT'S MY LAST.
AN SP THIRTEEN NINETY FOUR IS AN
APPROPRIATE VEHICLE IN THAT
REGARDS.
AS THREE THIRTEEN NINETY FOUR
WOULD MAKE SENSIBLE MUCH NEEDED
REFORMS TO THE RULES GOVERNING
THE COLLECTION SIGNATURES FOR
DIRECT VOTER PETITION ACTIONS IN
CALIFORNIA.
SPECIFICALLY IT WOULD PROHIBIT
THE PRACTICE OF INCENTIVIZING
PAGE SIGNATURE GATHERERS THROUGH
THE PAYMENT OF BOUNTIES ON A PER
SIGNATURE BASSES.
WELL IMPOSING PENALTIES FOR
VIOLATORS IT WILL DETER THE
KINDS UNETHICAL PRACTICES AND
SIGNATURE GATHERING WHICH HAVE
BECOME ALL TOO COMMON THROUGHOUT
THE STATE IN RECENT YEARS.
TO THE ORIGINAL FRAMERS WAY OF
THINKING THE INITIATIVE
REFERENDUM AND RECALL PROCESS
SEIZE REPRESENTED A MEANS FOR
THE LITTLE GUY TO TO DIRECT
REFORMS ACTIONS.
THAT ELECTED INVESTED INTEREST
MIGHT OTHERWISE TOWARD IN RECENT
TIMES HOWEVER SOMETHING VERY
DIFFERENT HAS TRANSPIRED THESE
TOOLS OF DIRECT DEMOCRACY HAVE
BEEN EFFECTIVELY CO OPTED BY THE
VERY MONEYED INTERESTS THEY WERE
RECENTLY TENDED. TO OFFSET AND
IZZY'S MONEYED INTERESTS HAVE
BECOME INCREASINGLY ADEPT AT
USING THE INITIATIVE REFERENDUM
AND RECALL PROCESS IS TO THEIR
ADVANTAGE. AN ARMS RACE OF SORTS
HAS ENSUED ESPECIALLY AS IT
PERTAINS TO SIGNATURE GATHERING.
AT ITS CENTER A SMALL NUMBER
SPECIALIZED FIRMS HAVE COME TO
DOMINATE OFFERING THEIR SERVICES
FROM PROPONENTS OF BALLOT
MEASURES SEEKING TO PLACE A
MEASURE ON THE BALLOT. ONE OF
THE PRINCIPAL TACTICS USED BY
THESE FIRMS IS THE DEPLOYMENT OF
WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONAL
SIGNATURE GATHERERS TYPICALLY
THE SIX GATHERS ARE PAID ON A
PER SIGNATURE OR COMMISSION
BASIS ALSO KNOWN S A BOUNTY AT
A RATE DETERMINED BY THE MARKET.
AS IT IS ASSESSED AT THE TIME
DEPENDING ON THE NATURE OF THE
INITIATIVE THE CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE DISTRICT THAT TIME OF
YEAR. OR COMPETITION WITH OTHER
IN ISSUES AT A GIVEN TIME THE
COST PER SIGNATURE CAN VARY
WIDELY FROM AS LOW AS TWO
DOLLARS PER SIGNATURE GATHERED
TO AS HIGH AS TWENTY DOLLARS.
AGAINST THIS BACKDROP THE
DETERMINING FACTOR FOR GETTING A
MEASURE ON THE BALLOT TOO OFTEN
HAS MUCH LESS TO DO WITH ITS
MERITS AND MUCH MORE TO DO WITH
THE DEPTH OF THE POCKETS OF ITS
PROPONENTS. THIS IS OF COURSE
PRECISELY THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT
THE FRAMERS HAD IN MIND AND
BECAUSE DOWNEY PACING TO GATHER
IS OPTIMIZE THEIR YIELD THEY CAN SECURE
SIGNATURES. PRICKLY TRAFFIC
MISLEADING INFORMATION AND
OUTRIGHT FALSEHOODS IN ORDER TO
INDUCE IS MANY VOTERS AS
POSSIBLE TO SIGN IN THE MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF TIME. JUSTICE PAST
YEAR IN THE CITY OF IRVINE
VOTERS WERE DECEIVED. THAT IT.
IN SIGNING A REFERENDUM PETITION
TO OVERTURN A ZONING ORDINANCE
RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF
AN ORANGE COUNTY VETERANS
CEMETERY. LOCAL RESIDENTS
REPORTED THE SIX GATHERS HER
TELLING VOTERS ANYTHING IN ORDER
TO GAIN THEIR SIGNATURES TO
INCLUDE MAKING MISLEADING CLAIMS
THAT THE PETITION WAS FOR A
VETERANS JOBS SENT. THAT IT WAS
FOR CLEAN WATER THAT WAR EVEN
MORE DISTURBING THAT VETERANS
WOULD BE DUG UP AND MOVE ACROSS
TOWN IF THE REFERENDUM FAILED TO
GET ON THE BALLOT. THESE CLAIMS
WERE KNOWINGLY AND PATENTLY
FALSE BUT NEVER LESS ENABLE THE
REFERENDUM TO QUICKLY GAIN
ENOUGH SIGNATURES TO QUALIFY FOR
THE BALLOT. AS ORIGINALLY
ENVISIONED BY THE FRAMERS OF THE
AND ISSUED THE REFERENDUM THE
RECALL THE STANDARD FOR
QUALIFYING IN MEASURE FOR THE
BALLOT WAS INTENDED TO BE
EXPLICITLY RIGOROUS FOR IT WAS A
VERY ACTIVE SECURING. A DELIVER
REALLY CHALLENGING NUMBER
SIGNATURES THAT WAS SEEN AS THE
AFFECTED BASIS FOR DEMONSTRATING
THE VALIDITY OF THAT EFFORT.
UNDER THAT SENSIBLE LOGIC NOT
ALL MEASURES SHOULD QUALIFY FOR
THE BALLOT ONLY THOSE WHO TO
MEET A DELIVER EARLY HIGH
STANDARD. AFTER ALL THE DIRECTLY
TO SAY PROCESS FOR WHICH THE
INITIATIVE REFERENDUM AND RECALL
WERE DEVELOPED WERE INTENDED TO
SUPERSEDE NOT TO RUN PARALLEL TO
OR SERVE AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. FURTHER
MORE COMPELLING CASE CAN BE MADE
THAT THE MODERN PHENOMENON OF SO
MANY PROPOSITIONS IN RED
AND ON THE BALLOT PERENNIALLY
HAS HAD A DAMAGING IMPACT ON
BOTH OUR POLITICS AND OUR
GOVERNMENT SAYS THE VOTING
PUBLIC STRUGGLES TO SORT THE
GOOD IDEAS. FROM THE BAD WELL
ASKING THE OBVIOUS QUESTION AS
TO WHY THEY'RE BEING FORCED TO
MAKE POLICY FOR THE GREAT STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. DESPITE HAVING
HIRED US FOR THAT VERY PURPOSE
TO OPTIMIZE IS TO TURN IMPACT
AND THEREBY ENSURE MORE ETHICAL
CONDUCT IN TOGETHER YOU VALID
SIGNATURES TO BALLOT MEASURES.
S. B. THIRTY NINETY FOUR WOULD
IMPOSE UPON VIOLATORS EITHER A
TOTAL FINE OF TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR ENGAGING IN
THE PRACTICE OF OFFERING BOUNTY
PAYMENTS INSECURE GETTING
OPERATIONS OR FIFTY DOLLARS PER
SIGNATURE UNLAWFULLY GATHERED
WHICHEVER AMOUNT. IS GREATER
FURTHER S. B. THIRTY NINETY FOUR
WILL ALSO EMPOWER VOTERS WHO
WITNESSED FRAUD FIRSTHAND TO ACT
AS WHISTLEBLOWERS THEMSELVES
THEREBY PROTECTING THE INTEGRITY
AND TRANSPARENCY OF SECURE
GATHER CAMPAIGNS. BY ALLOWING
INDIVIDUALS TO BRING CIVIL
ACTION FOR VIOLATIONS EVEN IF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR LOCAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT CHOOSES NOT TO.
FIVE OTHER STATES HAVE SIMILAR
EXAMINE THE ISSUE STARTED PAID
SINCE YOU'RE GATHERING AND PER
SIGNATURE BODIES AND HAVE
ADOPTED LEGISLATION PROHIBITING
THIS PRACTICE RETRYING THE
PAYMENTS FOR SIX A GATHERING.
EFFORTS MAY ONLY BE MADE ON AN
HOURLY OR A SALARIED BASIS BY
ELIMINATING INCENTIVES FOR
UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR THE CONDUCT
OF SIX TOGETHER CAMPAIGNS AS ME
THIRTEEN NINETY FOUR WILL MORE
PROPERLY SAFEGUARD THE PUBLIC
VERY CLEAR INTEREST. IN GREATER
HONESTY AND TRANSPARENCY IN THE
CONDUCT OF BALLOT MEASURE
CAMPAIGNS I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE TODAY.

ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
SENATOR HILL THANK YOU MADAM
PRESIDENT.
COLLEAGUES S. B. ELEVEN EIGHTY
SIX INSURERS THAT STATE LAW
KEEPS UP WITH THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT'S.
RAPID ADOPTION OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES
WITH THE AMENDMENTS MADE IN
SENATE APPROPRIATIONS SP ELEVEN
EIGHTY SIX APPLIES. THE EXACT
SAME POLICY IN PLACE FOR LICENSE
PLATE READERS AND CELLPHONE
INTERCEPTED VICES TO ALL
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY USED BY
LAW ENFORCEMENT.
THE LICENSE PLATE READER AND
CELLPHONE INTERCEPTED VICE
LEGISLATION PASSED OFF THIS
FLOOR WITH BROAD BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT.
THE POLICE WANT TO SEARCH YOUR
PHONE YOUR CAR OR YOUR HOUSE.
WE HAVE TO GET A WARRANT.
BUT MANY AGENCIES HAVE
TECHNOLOGY THE CONTRACT WHERE
YOU GO. WHO YOU TALK TO AND WHAT
YOU SAY IN PUBLIC PLACES WITHOUT?
ANY SAFEGUARDS.
OVER ONE HUNDRED LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES IN THE STATE OR THOUGHT
TO YOU SOME TYPE OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGY.
IN MANY THE PLOY MULTIPLE KINDS
INCLUDING FACIAL RECOGNITION
TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE THAT CAN
MONITOR SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITES.
THIS MEANS SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGY WILL BE SUBJECT TO
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE AND LOCAL
LEGISLATIVE REVIEW.
THE BILL PROVIDES AN EXIGENT
CIRCUMSTANCE PROVISION TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO ALLOW THEM TO USE
UNAPPROVED ABSORB SURVEILLANCE
DEVICES.
IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
THE LAW ENFORCEMENT GROUPS WILL
ARGUE THAT CREATING TRANSPARENCY
PROVIDES A SURVEILLANCE ROAD MAP
TO CRIMINALS.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
THE MERE KNOWLEDGE OF A POLICE
TACTIC DOES NOT RENDER IT
USELESS.
THERE ARE ALREADY LAWS MANDATING
THE DISCLOSURE OF WIRE TAPS AND
LICENSE PLATE READERS AND BOTH
TECHNOLOGIES STILL HELP CATCH
CRIMINALS.
SOME CONCERNS WE ALSO BE
EXPRESSED BY THE BREATHS OF
SURVEILLANCE IT TECHNOLOGIES
COVERED BY THE BILL.
S. B. ELEVEN EIGHTY IX
RECOGNIZES THE WIDE AN EVER
CHANGING ARRAY OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES AT THE DISPOSAL OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT NOW AND IN THE
FUTURE.
THE GOAL IS TO BE SPECIFIC
ENOUGH.
PACIFIC ENOUGH TO CAPTURE THE
APPROPRIATE SURVEILLANCE DEVICES
BUT NOT OVERLY PRESCRIPTIVE SO
THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO RUN A BILL
EACH TIME A NEW TECHNOLOGY IS
INVENTED. INCLUSION OF LIKE TO
MAKE ONE THING VERY CLEAR.
THIS BILL DOES NOT PROHIBIT LAW
ENFORCEMENT FROM USING
SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY TO FIGHT
CRIME.
SIMPLY TAKES EXISTING STANDARDS
FOR LICENSE PLATE READERS AND
CELL PHONE INTERCEPTED VICES.
AND APPLIES THEM TO ALL
SURVEILLANCE DEVICES.
I SUPPORT USING TECHNOLOGY TO
INCREASE PUBLIC SAFETY BUT WE
NEED TO SAFEGUARD BASIC CIVIL
LIBERTIES FROM POTENTIAL ABUSES.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR RIVAL

AND MY FRIENDS IT WAS A VERY
SPECIAL PLACE TO GO AND FIND IN
AND GET TO KNOW NATURE EVEN
THOUGH WE LIVE IN THE CITY.
AND THAT'S QUITE A STORY BEHIND
THE CREATION OF THIS NATIONAL
RECREATION AREA. OTHERS LITTLE
CAMPAIGN WAS LED BY THREE
INDEFATIGABLE WOMEN'S TO NELSON

MISTER SECRETARY CAN YOU PLEASE
READ.
SENATE BILL A TWENTY SIX BY
SENATOR JACKSON AND AQUINNAH
CORPORATIONS GOOD AFTERNOON
CENTER JACKSON THE FLOOR'S YOURS
MA'AM THANK YOU SIR AND DOG GOOD
AFTERNOON COLLEAGUES.
THIS IS A MEASURE THAT TRIES TO
ADDRESS THE PROBLEM THAT WE DO
NOT HAVE.
A IN TODAY'S WORLD A APPROPRIATE
REPRESENTATION ON CORPORATE
BOARDS A WITH A WOMEN SERVING IN
CAPACITIES ON THOSE BOARDS A
COUPLE YEARS AGO I DID A.
RESOLUTION THAT WOULD THAT
CALLED ON THAT URGED ARE A MAJOR
COMPANIES TO PUT WOMEN ON THEIR
BOARDS BECAUSE WE KNOW IN EUROPE
WHERE THIS HAS BEEN DONE THAT
THESE BUSINESSES ARE MORE. ARE
EFFICIENT MORE PROFITABLE AND
THE POLICIES ARE MORE APT TO
ADDRESS THIS THE PROBLEMS AND
THE ISSUES THAT ARE WORKING
FAMILIES HAVE IN TODAY'S WORLD.
SO RESEARCH ARE SHOWS THAT. AS I
MENTIONED WHEN WE HAVE WOMEN ON
THESE BOARDS THEY SERVE ARE A
FUNCTION OF BOTH EFFICIENCY
PROFITABILITY AND BETTER
MANAGEMENT SO WE ARM.
A IN THIS BILL WHO TAKES A FIRST
STEP TO TRY TO CLOSE THAT GAP
AGAIN WE TRIED TO BE NICE ABOUT
IT THAT DIDN'T WORK. SO THIS
BILL IN AN EFFORT TO TRY TO
CLOSE THIS GENDER GAP INCREASES
GENDER DIVERSITY BY REQUIRING
EACH PUBLICLY HELD CORPORATIONS
PUBLICLY HELD CORPORATION THESE
ARE PUBLICLY HELD COMPANIES.
THAT ARE ARE CORPORA HIT
CORPORATELY HEADQUARTERED HERE
IN CALIFORNIA TO HAVE AT LEAST
ONE WOMAN ON ITS BOARD OF
DIRECTORS BY THE END TO TWENTY
NINETEEN. AND BEGINNING IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE REQUIRING A
MINIMUM OF TWO WOMEN FOR I'M
DIRECTORS ON BOARDS WITH FIVE
DIRECTORS AND THEN A AT LEAST
THREE WOMEN ON PORTS WITH SIX OR
MORE. NOW THERE'S A CONCERN
THAT'S BEEN RAISED ABOUT THE
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THIS ISSUE.
WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS IT
DOESN'T KICK ANYBODY OFF IT
DOESN'T LIMIT PARTICIPATION IT
SAYS THAT IF A WOMAN IS NOT
APPOINTED TO A BOARD WITHIN THAT
PERIOD OF TIME WE WILL ADD A
POSITION?
FOR WHICH A WOMAN WILL THEN BE
PERMITTED AND ENCOURAGED AND
REQUIRED TO SERVE AND WITH THAT
I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. THAT MIGHT EXIST A
AND WOULD URGE YOUR SUPPORT AS
WE NOW TRY TO BREAK A MOLD THAT
WE HAVE TRIED TO DO NICELY AND
HASN'T WORKED. AND IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT SEVENTY PERCENT
OF THE CONSUMERS.
IN THIS COUNTRY WHO ARE WOMEN BE
REPRESENTED ON THESE BOARDS IT'S
GOOD FOR BUSINESS IT'S GOOD FOR
WOMEN IT'S GOOD FOR FAMILIES
IT'S GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY
WITHOUT I WOULD AS RIVAL. BIG
MEN IN SENATOR PRETTY GOOD
MADAME POTEMKIN IN SENATOR
ANDERSON BAD APPROACH OF.
THANK YOU MISTER PRESIDENT AND I
WANT TO. EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION
TO THE AUTHOR OF S. B. EIGHT
TWENTY SIX.
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PRIORITY
FOR THE LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS.
AND I THINK FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
I WAS PLEASED TO SUPPORT
YESTERDAY OUR COLLEAGUE.
FROM BERKELEY'S S. B. NINE
EIGHTY FOUR. WHICH MOVES ALONG
THE SAME LINES.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING WE HAD.
AS REFERENCED.
ALREADY.
A SELECT COMMITTEE ON WOMEN
WORKING FAMILIES.
AND IT WAS ENTITLED A SEAT AT
THE TABLE WHY MORE WOMEN ON
CORPORATE BOARDS PROTECTS
WORKERS FAMILIES EMPLOYEES AND
SHAREHOLDERS.
AND YOU KNOW WE HEARD THAT
CORPORATE BOARD MEMBERS COME
FROM THE RANKS OF CEOS AND
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY MEMBERS
OF OTHER BOARDS THAT SEEMS TO BE.
HOW THE STATUS QUO WORKS?
BUT OUR COMPANIES REALLY NEED TO
REACH BEYOND A SMALL POOL OF
CANDIDATES IF WE'RE GOING TO BE
MORE DIVERSE.
BECAUSE WERE LEAVING BEHIND A
LOT OF TALENT.
AND WE HAVE TO EXPAND OUR
REFERRAL PROCESS.
THERE WAS.
OF COURSE AS THE AUTHOR SAID
AND URGING TO DO THIS
ORGANICALLY AND NATURALLY.
BUT YOU KNOW AS WE HAVE SEEN
FROM MANY OTHER THINGS IT
ACTUALLY TAKES FOCUS SOME WORK
TO CREATE DIVERSITY WE HAD TO DO
THIS ON OUR OWN HIRING PRACTICES
IN THIS VERY.
IN THE SENATE AND IN THE
ASSEMBLY I MIGHT ADD AND YOU
KNOW IT'S INTERESTING IT ISN'T
THAT THERE ISN'T THE TALENT AND
EXPERTISE TO DO IT.
IT'S THAT TYPICALLY ARE IT IN IN
THE WORLD OF CORPORATE BUSINESS.
YOU PICK THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW.
AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE A SEAT AT
THE TABLE YOU'RE NOT KNOWN.
AND THEREFORE. YOU ARE CUTTING
OUT HALF THE POPULATION.
I FOUND SOME STATISTICS PRETTY
INTERESTING ODD DURING THAT
SELECT COMMITTEE.
WOMEN MAKE PURCHASES OF
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN FIVE TRILLION
AND FIFTEEN TRILLION ANNUALLY IN
THE UNITED STATES.
MORE THAN HALF OF ALL U. S.
PERSONAL WEALTH IS CONTROLLED BY
WOMEN.
WOMEN EVEN PURCHASE FIFTY
PERCENT OF PRODUCTS
TRADITIONALLY CONSIDERED TO BE
PRODUCTS. FOR MEN.
AND ONE STUDY SHOWED THAT NINETY
ONE PERCENT OF WOMEN BELIEVE
THAT ADVERTISERS DON'T
UNDERSTAND THEM.
AND A POINT WAS MADE THAT IT
WASN'T ABOUT PERCEPTION OUR
BALANCE FOR THE SAKE A BALANCE
IT'S ABOUT SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY.
MORE WOMEN ON BOARDS THE STUDIES
HAVE SHOWN WE'VE WE'VE PRESENTED
THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN.
MORE WOMEN ON BOARDS WILL RESULT
IN MORE SUCCESS SO IF IT IS GOOD
BUSINESS PRACTICE.
WHY ARE WE NOT MAKE IN THE
EFFORT TO DO A BETTER JOB?
AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE LONG
LIST.
OF PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE THIS.
OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE WE'RE TRYING
TO DO MORE THAN. ENCOURAGE.
THIS PRACTICE WE ARE ACTUALLY
SETTING GOALS AND WANTING TO DO
A MANDATE THAT YOU CONSIDER IT
WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO. CAN I
JUST ASK WHY.
WHY COMPANIES WHO WANT TO BE
SUCCESSFUL? AND COMPANIES WHO
BASE THEIR BUSINESS PRACTICES
AND THEIR MARKETING AND THEIR
BUSINESS PLAN.
ON DATA.
MARKETING DATA WHY THEY WOULD
IGNORE IT AND NOT EVEN TRY.
NOT EVEN TRY.
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR HALF THE
BOARD WERE SUGGESTING THAT IT
WOULD BE GOOD TO START AND
ACTUALLY MAKE A REAL EFFORT SO
WHEN I SEE.
CHAMBERS AND BUSINESSES WHO
OPPOSE THIS I HAVE TO WONDER WHY.
WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR US TO TRY
AND MAKE THE CASE?
THAT WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP AND
WOMEN ON CORPORATE BOARDS COULD
ACTUALLY BE GOOD FOR YOUR BOTTOM
LINE IN YOUR RETURN ON
INVESTMENT.
I AM AMAZED THAT WE HAVE TO
STAND HERE AND SUGGEST THIS.
TO OUR COLLEAGUES.
THAT WE HAVE TO MAYBE CONSIDER
THE LAW TO GET ONE.
WOMAN ON A BOARD.
I DID TALK TO A COUPLE OF
CORPORATIONS THAT ARE DOING
QUITE WELL.
I AND I DON'T WANT TO SINGLE
ANYBODY OUT POSITIVELY OR
NEGATIVELY. BUT I WOULD SAY.
BUT THIS ONE COMPANY HAS NOT ONE
WOMAN ON THE BOARD BUT THREE.
AND THE COMPANY'S DOING QUITE
WELL.
AND THEN WHEN I SEE OTHER
COMPANIES ASK ME WHAT CAN I DO
TO CREATE DIVERSITY ON MY BOARD
AND THEY COME TO ME I'VE EVER
OWNED A BUSINESS.
I'M A PUBLIC SERVANT.
MY SPOUSE OWNS A BUSINESS AND I
SAID.
OF THREE ACTUALLY. I SEE MAYBE
YOU SHOULD CALL HER.
SHE ACTUALLY HAS WORKED IN
CORPORATE AMERICA SHE
UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
AND MAYBE YOU SHOULD CALL HER
AND ASK SOMEONE WHO IS RIGHT IN
FRONT OF YOU NOTCHES HER. PLENTY
WOMEN WORK IN YOUR COMPANY ASSN
THEN.
SO I AT YOU KNOW.
I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A HARD BILL.
I UNDERSTAND MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SANTA BARBARA IS HAVING TO
ACTUALLY ASK PEOPLE.
AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHY
THIS TO BE GOOD THING TO DO I DO
NOT UNDERSTAND THAT I DO NOT
UNDERSTAND THAT. IN THIS DAY AND
TIME WE ARE TALKING.
ABOUT INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY.
AND THERE ARE STUDIES THAT SHOW
THAT IT IT INCREASES YOUR BOTTOM
LINE I DON'T KNOW WHY I HAVE TO
STAND HERE AND ACTUALLY PLEAD.
I THINK MOST OF YOU HAVE NOTICED
OF STOP AYE I DON'T TALK A LOT
ON THE FLOOR I DON'T FEEL LIKE
THAT'S MY JOB.
BECAUSE YOU DO IT QUITE WELL ON
EVERY ISSUE AND I THANK YOU FOR
THAT.
BUT THIS MATTERS.
THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR THE
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS AS IT
SHOULD BE BUT I WOULD SUGGEST IT
SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR EACH
AND EVERYONE OF YOU.
PARTICULARLY.
BECAUSE WE'RE BUSY BY AND ALL
THE STUFF AND BRING IT HOME TO
YOU THAT YOU NEED OBVIOUSLY.
SO I WILL STOP.
AND CLOSE WITH THIS IS THE RIGHT
THING TO DO THE SHOULD NOT BE
THIS DIFFICULT AND I WOULD URGE
MY COLLEAGUES TO UNDERSTAND
WHERE WE ARE AT THIS POINT IN
TIME IN HISTORY. AND SUPPORT A
PRETTY SIMPLE.
STRETCH GOAL AND IT SHOULD EVEN
BE A STRETCH GOAL BUT WILL GRANT
YOU THAT.
BUT PLEASE.
PLEASE I URGE YOU TO VOTE YES ON
S. B. EIGHT TWENTY SIX AND LET'S
MOVE INTO THIS.
CENTURY.
THE COMMANDER PROTEIN
CENTER HERTZBERG FLOORS OR SIR.
OUR COULD NOT AGREE MORE.
THAT THIS IS A CRITICAL
COMMONSENSE.
OBJECTIVE.
I'VE HAD FAMILY MEMBERS.
WHO HAVE BEEN THE FIRST WOMEN ON
MANY PUBLICLY TRADED BOARDS?
TO INTEGRATE THEM INTO PROVIDE.
THOUGHTFUL AND INTELLIGENT
INSIGHTS
THAT I THOUGHT WERE EXTREMELY
HELPFUL TO THE COMPANIES.
I RISE TO RAISE AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION.
WE ARE A.
BODY OF LAWS.
THERE THE QUESTION BECOMES NOT
WHETHER THE OBJECTIVE SHOULD BE
ACHIEVED AND I HAVE A QUESTION
UP OF QUESTIONS THE AUTHOR.
BUT WHETHER THE OBJECTIVES THAT
ARE APPROPRIATE. HONORABLE IT
EVERY RESPECT THE RIGHT THING TO
DO DOES THIS BILL I THINK IT'S
IMPERATIVE ON US TO ALWAYS ASK
THOSE QUESTIONS
GET THERE IN THE
CONSTITUTIONALLY PERMISSIBLE
MANNER.
WHAT IT SAYS IS THAT?
BUT CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT.
IT IS GOING TO TELL ENTITIES.
WELL HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD BUT
BE ON THEIR BOARDS.
AND.
WHO SHOULD THEY BE BY GENDER?
THERE'S TWO ISSUES IN THAT
REGARD ONE WHAT ABOUT OTHER
SUSPECT CLASSES AS DEFINED IN
THE CONSTITUTION WHAT DO WE DO
THERE.
TO.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THERE IS A
BROAD BODY OF LAW THAT SAYS
SHAREHOLDERS DETERMINE WHO GETS
ON BOARDS.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A SOLUTION
HERE WOULD EASILY BE TO SAY THAT
MANAGEMENT HAD TO SUGGEST
BECAUSE WHEN I ASKED THIS
QUESTION IN JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
OUR EXPERT WHO WAS THERE FROM
HEAD HUNTING FIRM SAID LOOK YOU
KNOW HOW THIS REALLY HAPPENS
MANAGEMENT COMES IN MAKES A
RECOMMENDATION ARTICULATE CICELY.
AND GENERALLY PEOPLE GO ALONG
WITH IT AND I BELIEVE THAT TRUE
TO BE TRUE I'VE EXPERIENCED IT.
I SEEN IT I'VE BEEN SUBJECT TO
IT NO QUESTION ABOUT IT.
SO MANAGEMENT SHOULD BE
OBLIGATED TO MAKE THOSE
RECOMMENDATIONS BUT WHAT I DON'T
UNDERSTAND IS HOW WE CAN MAKE
THE LEAP.
SAY.
THAT SHAREHOLDERS HAVE TO ELECT
CERTAIN PEOPLE IT'S CHALLENGING
SECOND.
I DON'T THINK.
UNDER THE LAW WE CAN TELL
COMPANIES HOW MANY BOARD MEMBERS
THEY CAN HAVE.
PEOPLE MAKE DECISIONS COMPANIES
MAKE DECISIONS AS TO SIZE OF
THEIR BOARDS FOR A SERIES OF
REASONS.
LIKE WE CAN'T BEGRUDGE THAT.
SO THE TEST HERE IS NOT WHETHER
THE CHALLENGE BEFORE US IS A
RIGHTEOUS ONE BECAUSE IT IS.
THAT WE SHOULD ACHIEVE THE
DELIVERABLE IN TERMS OF. ARE
HAVING A BROAD DIVERSITY BECAUSE
WE SHOULD.
THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT'S THE
APPROPRIATE LEGAL MANNER BECAUSE
I JUST AND TIRED OF HAVING THIS
BODY PASS LAWS THAT GET
OVERTURNED BY COURTS.
WE HAVE THE ABILITY THE CAPACITY
NOT BASED UPON POLITICAL REASONS
BECAUSE WE THINK IT TO BE THE
RIGHT THING TO DO WE CAN GET
THERE IN A CONSTITUTIONALLY
PERMISSIBLE MANNER. WHY COULDN'T
WE SAY THAT DIRECTORS ARE THAT
THAT MANAGEMENT'S REQUIRED TO
PUT UP A SLIGHT THAT IS BALANCED
Y. COULDN'T WE DO THAT? THE BILL
SAYS IN A CERTAIN YEAR IT'S A
CERTAIN NUMBER IT DOESN'T SAY
THAT. I'M SORRY DIRECT
SHAREHOLDERS MAKE THOSE
SELECTIONS SO ALL I'M SUGGESTING
IS I AM IN EVERY INCH OF MY BODY
IN SUPPORT OF THE POLICY.
I AM JUST DEEPLY CONCERNED WHICH
I RAISED IN COMMITTEE AND THE
ANSWER WHAT WAS AN OTHERWISE
GIVEN. BUT WHAT WE DO IS TO SIZE
OF BOARDS AND WHAT WE DO AS TO
WHO ELECT SHAREHOLDERS BECAUSE
THOSE ARE TWO REALLY BIG
CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES. BUT
WE HAVE TO ADDRESS AND WE COULD
ACHIEVE THE NOBLE. IMPORTANT
APPROACH THAT WE NEED TO DO AS A
BODY ON THE ONE HAND WITHOUT
RUNNING AFOUL OF THE OTHER AND I
THINK THE FIRST PRACTICAL MATTER
WHAT WAS MADE FINAL POINT BY THE.
AUTHOR OF THIS MEASURE IN
COMMITTEE WAS THAT SHE HAS
CONTINUALLY AND REPEATEDLY TRIED
TO VARIOUS MEASURES TO
RESOLUTIONS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
TO GET TO GOAL THAT'S WHAT YOU
TRIED TO DO.
I GET IT.
I'M WITH IT I JUST DON'T WANT
HER OBJECTIVE TO BE.
THROWN OUT BY THE COURTS
BECAUSE WE'VE NOW TAKEN A
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
MOVE AND WE WANT TO WIN WE WANT
TO WIN WE WANT TO WIN. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR MEMBERS
SWINNEY DIGITAL DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THE FLOOR.
ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THE FLOOR.
SENATE JACKSON WOULD LIKE TO
CLOSE THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUESAND I
WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL
APPRECIATION TO. A THERE GOOD
SENATOR FROM SAN DIEGO OUR
PRESIDENT PRO TEM WHO IS ALSO
PRINCIPLE CO AUTHOR IN THIS BILL.
I SHE GETS THIS.
MANY OF US WHO WATCHED THE
CORPORATE WORLD HAVE SHARED IN
OUR FRUSTRATIONS THAT THERE ARE
NOT WOMEN WHO ARE PARTICIPATING
AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF
CORPORATE AMERICA. EVEN THOUGH
WE ARE FIFTY TWO PERCENT OF THE
POPULATION AND PURCHASE SEVENTY
PERCENT OF ALL THE GOODS AND
SERVICES AND IN RESPONSE TO MY
GOOD FRIEND FROM LOS ANGELES.
I'M TERRY WAS CHAIR OF THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE ARE WE HAVE
LOOKED AT THE CONSTITUTIONALITY
OF THIS BILL AND ALTHOUGH
SOMETIMES YOU NEVER KNOW GOING
INTO SOMETHING. ABOUT WE BELIEVE
THAT THIS BILL IS CONSTITUTIONAL
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SET A QUOTA
IT DOESN'T SET A PERCENTAGE IT
SAYS IF YOU HAVE A BOARD OF FIVE
OR MORE. YOU HAVE TO EITHER
ELECT A WOMAN.
TO ONE OF THOSE FIVE OR ADD A AN
ADDITIONAL POSITIONS SO THAT
THERE IS A WOMAN SERVING ON THE
BOARD AS TO WHETHER OR NOT.
THE GOVERNMENT CAN TELL
CORPORATIONS WHAT TO DO I KNOW
MY COLLEAGUE KNOWS THAT IN FACT.
CORPORATIONS ARE THE A VEHICLE
ON THE STATE YOU HAVE GOT TO
APPLY TO THE STATE IN ORDER TO
GET ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION.
THE STATE THE STATE DOES IN FACT
CONTROL CORPORATIONS WE GIVE
THEM AND WE TAKE THEM AWAY.
SO ARE WE DO HAVE AUTHORITY THE
STATE HAS AUTHORITY TO GRANT
PEOPLE CORPORATE STATUS OR NOT
WE ALSO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
MAKE RULES THAT AFFECT
CORPORATIONS.
SO THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM HERE
AND WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT THIS
IS A STRONG STATEMENT I THINK IT
IS A CRITICAL ONE WE HAVEN'T
GOTTEN THERE ANY OTHER WAY. IT'S
TIME WE MADE A VERY STRONG
STATEMENT FOR CALIFORNIA THAT WE
ARE GOING TO INVITE THE BEST AND
THE BRIGHTEST
REGARDLESS OF THEIR GENDER. TO
SERVE.
ON CORPORATE BOARDS AND WITH
THAT I WOULD URGE HER AYE VOTE.

OUR COLLEAGUES IN TWENTY SIXTEEN
WE PASSED.
IN OUR BUDGET A NO PLACE LIKE
HOME TO DRESS TO DRESS THE
BURGEONING. HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.
WHOSE EPICENTER IS RIGHT HERE
IN THE GREAT STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
IN FACT THE NATIONAL UP A CENTER
FOR HOMELESSNESS IS IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY MORE SPECIFICALLY
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES IF
YOU RECALL. NO PLACE LIKE HOME
AUTHORIZED TO BILLION DOLLARS
THAT TWO BILLION OR TWENTY
MILLION OR TWO HUNDRED MILLION
BUT TWO BILLION DOLLAR. REVENUE
BOND FOR CONSTRUCTION AND
REHABILITATION OF PERMANENT
HOUSING
FOR THE CHRONICALLY HOMELESS
PEOPLE WITH SEVERE MENTAL
ILLNESSES.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE REALITIES
OF FALLING.
SINCE THE PASSAGE OF NO PLACE
LIKE HOME. THIS MEASURE HAS BEEN
TIED UP IN A COURT OF LAW.
IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT RIGHT NOW
CHALLENGING THE LEGISLATURE'S
AUTHORITY TO SPEND.
PROP SIXTY THREE FUNDS ON
HOUSING FOR THOSE WITH MENTAL
ILLNESSES.
AS A RESULT. FUNDING TO BUILD
HOUSING AND PROVIDE SERVICES
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES HAS BEEN
DELAYED.
AND QUITE FRANKLY DURING THE
PAST YEAR.
ARE HOMELESS POPULATION HAS IN
FACT GROWN BY OVER FOURTEEN
PERCENT.
SO WE HAVE BEEN BUILDING
HOMELESS SHELTERS ARCHES A
PERMANENT HOUSING UP FOR THOSE
WHO NEED THE MOST AND AS A
RESULT.
HOME SINCE HAS GROWN BY FORTY
PERCENT.
FOOD WE DO HAVE INDIVIDUALS OUT
THERE WHO ARE PROUD TO. CLAIM
THAT VIOLIN LIKE NERO AS ROME
BURNS.
IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU
LIVE IN THE SUBURBAN COMMUNITY
AND URBAN OR RURAL COMMUNITY.
HOMELESSNESS IS GROWING AS WE
KNOW IT.
OUR STATE IS HOME TO NEARLY HALF
OF THE NATION'S HOMELESS
POPULATION AND THAT NUMBER
CONTINUES TO BLOOM.
IN THE WEALTHIEST STATE IN THE
WEALTHIEST NATION IN THE WORLD.
THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE UP
COLLEAGUES THIS IS OUR
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THIS
LITIGATION IS LAWSUIT MOOT.
SO WE CAN GET THESE DOLLARS. OUT
THE DOOR AND GIVE IT TO THE
PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THE MOST.
I WAS PROUD TO.
MOVE IS MEASURE A FEW YEARS AGO
WITH ALL OF YOU BUT SPECIAL OF

SENATE BILL TWELVE EIGHTY FOUR
BY SENATOR JACKSON AND ACT
RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT.
SENATOR JACKSON THANK YOU MADAM
OF PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES THIS IS
A A CONTINUATION OF EFFORTS THAT.
ARE I'VE BEEN PURSUING AND THE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS HAS BEEN PURSUING
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS PERHAPS
MANY OF YOU AS WELL ON EQUAL PAY.
ARE WE NOW HAVE ONE OF THE
STRONGEST EQUAL PAY LAWS IN THE
COUNTRY BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THAT. AND
THIS IS A MEASURE THAT WILL HELP
FIGHT DISCRIMINATION.
THIS IS A MEASURE THAT WILL HELP
FIGHT DISCRIMINATION WITH DATA
WITH INFORMATION BECAUSE WHEN IT
COMES TO PAY EQUITY FOR WOMEN
AND MINORITIES WE CAN'T FIX WHAT
WE DON'T KNOW. AND ARE THIS IS A
MEASURE THAT TAKES OF FOLLOWS UP
ON A. A REGULATION THAT TOOK TWO
AND A HALF YEARS PROMULGATED
DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
WHICH WAS GOING TO OUR AND
ENHANCE THE EO ONE FORM BY
SIMPLY REQUIRING EMPLOYERS IN
ADDITION TO THE OTHER
INFORMATION BEING SOUGHT. TO ADD
INFORMATION ON VERY GENERALIZED
IT EMPLOYMENT LEVELS OF WHAT
KIND OF PAY PEOPLE WERE GETTING
BASED UPON RACE ETHNICITY GENDER.
AND VARIOUS CATEGORIES TO SEE
WHERE AND WHETHER WE WERE SEEING
DISCRIMINATION PRIMARILY I WOULD
SUSPECT IN INTO YEAH UNINTENDED
IMPLICIT. THAT'S WHAT THIS
MEASURE DOES IT TAKES THAT OBAMA
ADMINISTRATIVE EFFORT WHICH THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SADLY BUT
PREDICTABLY PULLED OUT WHEN IT
GOT INTO OFFICE.
THIS BILL I WILL EMPHASIZE IS
NOT ABOUT PUBLIC SHAMING. LAST
YEAR WE DID A BILL THAT PASSED
THIS HOUSE THAT WOULD HAVE MADE
THIS INFORMATION KNOWN TO THE
PUBLIC ABOUT WITH THE GOAL OF
SHAMING. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
OR RATHER SHAMING COMPANIES IN
THE EYES OF THE PUBLIC THIS BILL
DOES NOT DO THAT THIS BILL IS AN
EFFORT TO PUT A MIRROR. IN FRONT
OF EACH COMPANY SO THAT THEY CAN
SEE HOW THEIR COMPANIES ARE
OPERATING WHEN IT COMES THE
FOLLOWING UP AND SUPPORTING PAY
EQUITY.
WITHOUT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE BIGGEST CENTER JACKSON
CENTER HERTZBERG.
YEAH I WANT TO JOIN IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE SALES FORCE
EXECUTIVES CEO MARK BENNETT OFF
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT INTERVIEWED
BECAUSE ON SIXTY MINUTES AND
EVEN THOUGH IT PROBLEMS AND PAY
EQUITY THIS COMPANY.
I MEAN THIS TO ME IS A COMMON
SENSE APPROACH.
BUT AS THE AUTHOR INDICATES A
REQUIRES PEOPLE TO PUT A MIRROR
UP TO THEIR COMPANY AND REALLY
REALIZE WHAT THE PATTERNS ARE
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN THIS
LARGER EXAMINATION IN MY
JUDGMENT WHETHER YOUR BOARD OF
DIRECTORS MEMBER OR EMPLOYEE OF
A COMPANY. IS TO FAIRLY GATHER
DATA SO THAT WE CAN THEN MAKE
THAT DETERMINATION YOU CAN GO
APPLES TO APPLES HOW LONG PEOPLE
IN THE COMPANY AND THE LIKE. AND
THAT IT REVEALS PATTERNS AND I
BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU DO REVEAL
PATTERNS LIKE BY THE C. E. O. OF
SALES FORCE DID YOU'RE GONNA SEE
A DRAMATIC SHIFT IN IMPROVEMENTS.
ARE A IT IN THIS PAY EQUITY
ISSUE AND I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT
THING TO DO IT'S A SMART
APPROACH TO GOVERNING ASK YOU
AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU CENTER HERTZBERG.
THUNDERSTONE.
THINK ABOUT PRESIDENT CLINTON.
.
I SUPPORTED APPLAUD THE OFFER ON
S. B. THREE FIFTY EIGHT THE
STRONGEST PAY EQUITY.
.
LAW PRETTY MUCH ON THE BOOKS IN
THE UNITED STATES BUT I'M VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BILL.
CAL CHAMBER HIS LABEL THIS A
JOB KILLER BILL.
I'VE ALWAYS CONSIDERED MYSELF A
VERY STRONG ADVOCATE FOR
BUSINESS THERE ARE SO MANY
LOOPHOLES IN THIS BILL. THAT
WOULD MAKE BUSINESSES A TARGET
FOR LITIGATION NOT TO MENTION
THE PRIVACY ISSUES OF HAVING
YOUR NAME YOUR SALARY.
BROADCASTED FOR THE WORLD TO
SEE IT'S NOT UNCOMMON THAT
PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME JOB
DESCRIPTION BUT DUDE TWO
DIFFERENT JOBS.
AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GO TRY TO
DECIPHER THIS IN DEFENDING
ATTORNEY AND TRY TO CLARIFY IT
IN A COURT OF LAW. MY FRIENDS
THIS IS JUST GOING TO CONTINUE
TO HAVE THE REGULAR TO BE THE
LEGAL BURDEN.
TO BUSINESSES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS A VERY FRAGILE
ECONOMY OUT THERE RIGHT NOW IN
SPITE OF. OF THOSE CLAIMING THAT
WE HAVE THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY COULD IMAGINE IF WE HAD
THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT WAS AND
HAD ALL THOSE THIS IS A LEFT THE
STATE. BE IN THE STATE WE HAVE A
SUPER HOT ECONOMY HERE GOING
RIGHT NOW BUT MY FRIENDS WE ARE
AT A PRECIPICE.
WE ARE AT A FULCRUM.
WHERE WE ARE PUSHING BUSINESSES
JUST OVER THE EDGE?
AND IT'S GOING TO BE SIGNIFICANT
FALLOUT.
WHY ARE THERE SO MANY
RESPECTABLE ORGANIZATIONS
OPPOSING THIS BILL? NOT BECAUSE
THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE PAY
EQUITY IS BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
CREATE GARY GRAY AREAS OF THE
LAW THEY'RE GONNA MAKE
BUSINESSES THE BENEFICIARIES OF
YET MORE LAWSUITS. IS JUST
THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL BACK KEEP
THE ATTORNEYS IN BUSINESS LAW IF
YOU WANNA SUPPORTED I POSE S. B.
TWELVE EIGHTY FOUR AND A BIT
MESSENGERS OF ALL THIS IS A
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE
CONTINUE TO DO THEIR BEST TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS.
GENDER EQUITY WHEN IT COMES TO
PAYING THEIR EMPLOYEES AND URGE
A NO VOTE.
THANK YOU CENTER STONE SENATOR
JACKSON WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
I'M ALWAYS AMAZED AT HOW
SOMETHING THAT TRIES TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION TO PEOPLE CAN BE A
JOB KILLER.
ACTUALLY THIS IS JUST AS WAS
MENTIONED INFORMATION GATHERING.
ARE DONE IN AGGREGATE FORM SO
THAT NOBODY'S PRIVACY IS BEING
VIOLATED.
IT THOUGH WAS A A PROGRAM THAT
WAS DEVELOPED OVER THE COURSE OF
TWO AND A HALF YEARS. AYE IT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA HELP US
MAKE SURE THAT WE IN FACT
IMPLEMENT THE EQUAL PAY ACT THAT
EVERYBODY ON THIS FLOOR I'M VERY
HONORED TO SAY.
SUPPORTED WE NEED THE
INFORMATION WE NEED COMPANIES
KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE
MEETING THOSE EXPECTATIONS
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL DOES. AND

PETS ARE AFFECTED BY THESE
TRAGEDIES.
WHEN A DOG OR A CAT IS INVOLVED
IN A FIRE. IT'S RECOMMENDED THAT
THEY RECEIVE OXYGEN THERAPY AS

FIRST RESPONDERS TO PROVIDE TO
PROVIDE THESE ANIMALS BASIC
FIRST AID. ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS
AT THE SCENE OF AN EMERGENCY
PRIOR TO TRANSFERRING THAT
ANIMAL TO A VETERINARY CARE
FACILITY.
IMPORTANTLY THIS BILL PROTECTS

EXPLICIT.
BUT THEY'RE NOT LIABLE FOR
DAMAGES ARE SUBJECT TO CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION HER OR EVEN

AID TO ANIMALS. MANY STATES HAVE
