SIX SIX
SIX MEANS TO ME.
SIX COUNTIES SIX DIFFERENT
CANDIDATES STATEMENT FORMS TO
FILL OUT AND SUBMIT AND SIX
DIFFERENT WAYS TO SUBMIT ALL
THAT PAPERWORK.
AB SIX SIX SIX WOULD ALLOW
CANDIDATES RUNNING IN MULTI
COUNTY DISTRICTS TO SUBMIT THE
CANDIDATE STATEMENT FROM THEIR
HOME COUNTY. TO ALL THE OTHER
COUNTIES IN THE DISTRICT.
IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE COUNTY
ELECTIONS OFFICIALS TO ACCEPT
THIS FORM ARE ELECTRONICALLY.
THIS BILL IS A STEP TOWARD
STREAMLINING THE OVERWHELMING
ELECTIONS FILING PROCESS FOR NEW
AND NOVICE CANDIDATES WHO ARE
UNFAMILIAR WITH THE COMPLICATED
STEPPED.
A QUALIFY FOR THE BALLOT IN EACH
COUNTY WHERE THEY ARE RUNNING.
I AM WORKING WITH THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF CLARKSON AND
ELECTION OFFICIALS
SECRETARY OF STATE AND MY LOCAL
ELECTIONS OFFICIALS TO ENSURE
THAT THIS PROCESS IS
COLLABORATIVE.

EASIER ONE FIRST FOR THE SHORTER
ONE FIRST AB TWENTY FIVE NINETY
TWO.
THAT MISTER SHARON SENATORS.
EVERY TEN YEARS THE UNITED
STATES CENSUS BUREAU CONDUCTS A
SURVEY OF EVERYONE LIVING IN THE
COUNTRY CENSUS DATA IS USED TO
DETERMINE POLITICAL
REPRESENTATION INCLUDING HOW
MANY SEATS EACH STATE HAS IN THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. AND TO
DISTRIBUTE OVER SIX HUNDRED
SEVENTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS IN
FEDERAL FUNDING TO STATE AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FOR HEALTH
CARE. EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE
UNFORTUNATELY MANY CHALLENGES
THREATEN A COMPLETE AND ACCURATE
COUNT OF CALIFORNIANS IN THE
UPCOMING TWENTY TWENTY CENSUS.
CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO TEN OF THE
NATION'S FIFTY HARD TO COUNT
COUNTIES.
COMMUNITIES WHERE THE SOFT
RESPONSE RATE TO THE CENSUS
QUESTIONNAIRE HAS HISTORICALLY
BEEN LOW.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES HAVE BEEN
MADE IN THE TWENTY TWENTY CENTS
OPERATIONS
INCLUDING USING A NEW I TESTED
METHOD OF RESPONSE RELYING ON
EXISTING DATA AND SATELLITE
IMAGERY TO UPDATE ADDRESS LISTS.
AND HIRING FIFTY PERCENT FEWER
FIELD WORKERS TO VISIT
HOUSEHOLDS THAT HAVE NOT
RESPONDED TO THE CENSUS
QUESTIONNAIRE.
A QUESTION ABOUT CITIZENSHIP WAS
ALSO ADDED AT WAS ALSO ADDED AT
THE LAST MINUTE AND IS WIDELY
EXPECTED TO DRIVE DOWN RESPONSE
RATES.
FURTHERMORE THE UNITED STATES
CENSUS BUREAU HAS HAD TO CANCEL
KEY PREPARATIONS INCLUDING
COMPREHENSIVE TESTS.
A CENSUS OPERATIONS IN TWO OUT
OF THREE LOCATIONS
AS A RESULT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE
IS DEEMED THE TWENTY TWENTY
CENSUS AND AT RISK PROGRAM.
AB TWENTY NINE FIFTY AB TWENTY
FIVE NINETY TWO WILL HELP
PROMOTE AWARENESS ABOUT IN
PARTICIPATION IN THE TWENTY
TWENTY CENSUS BY REQUIRING THE
SECRETARY OF STATE TO INCLUDE
INFORMATION. ABOUT AN UPCOMING
FEDERAL DC DECENNIAL CENSUS ON
THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S WEBSITE.
AND IN PUBLIC AT ELECTION
MATERIALS SUCH AS THE STATE
VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE ON AB TWENTY FIVE NINETY

SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE IS
TIFFANY MARK. THANK YOU SOME
ERROR MISS MONTH.
TIFFANY MARK ON THE HAVE THE
SECRETARY OUR STATE WE ARE
PROBABLY IN SUPPORT.
VERY GOOD OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
MADISON LOYALTY HAVE THE SOCOM
BALLOT COMMUNITY FOUNDATION AND
SUPPORT.
VERY GOOD THANK YOU.
SEEING NO OTHERS IN SUPPORT ANY
IN OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE.
MEMBERS.
COMMENTS.
QUESTIONS.
CLAUSES.
SEEMS LIKE A IT SEEMS LIKE A
COMMONSENSE MEASURE HERE WE'VE
BEEN WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO BEEF
UP THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S.
PASSIVITY FORD REUNIFYING
COMMUNICATIONS FOR YEARS NOW
UNIFYING THEIR MISSION LAST YEAR
ADDED THAT SORT OF PROACTIVE.
YEAH IN FRANCHISING SORT OF
MISSION SO THAT BEYOND THIS
CURRENT SECRETARY.
RIGHT WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT IN
IN THE MISSION IN THE MANDATE
FOR YEARS TO COME AND I I THINK
THE SAME ALIGNMENT MAKES
COMPLETE SENSE HERE.
AS IT DOES TO SOME EXTENT
YOU'VE PROCEED AS YET THE.
THE NEXT BILL SO.
WHEN WE HAVE A QUORUM.
.
ACTUALLY IF I MIGHT
AND AS I OPENED
CALL ME.
ALL I QUESTIONS COMMENTS I DO
PLEASE.
OUR I LOVE THE IDEA THAT YOU'RE
HELPING THE TRUMP MISSION
ADMINISTRATION
CLICK CENSUS
DATA.
WOULD THIS JUST TARGET THOSE
HIDEAWAY PLACES
OR WITH THIS HOUSE. WALK ME
THROUGH EXACTLY HOW THIS WORKS
AND ON HOW YOU TARGET.
SURE AND ADD TO THIS WOULDN'T BE
TARGETING.
AND IT'S IMPORTANT KNOW THAT
ANY INFORMATION THAT IS
COLLECTED BY THE CENSUS BUREAU
CAN ONLY BE USED FOR CENSUS
PURPOSES AND BY LAW CANNOT BE
USED BY ANY OTHER ADMINISTRATION
AGENCY. FOR ANY GOVERNMENT
PURPOSE SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
FOR OUR PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND
THAT COMPONENT OF THE CENSUS
DATA.
THIS JUST ALLOWS THE SECRETARY
OF STATE TO OR OR ENCOURAGES THE
SECRETARY OF STATE TO MENTION
THAT A SENSE THIS IS UP COMING
IN AND.
YOU PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT
THE CENSUS.
IN ELECTIONS MATERIAL THAT
THEY'RE PROMOTING TO EVERY
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT EVERY CALIFORNIA
PARTICIPATED THAT'S THE QUESTION.
WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH IT I
WASN'T SURE IF IT WAS GOING TWO
EVERY HOUSEHOLD ARE ONLY HIDE
AWAY HOUSEHOLDS.
OKAY.
I I'M I'M COMFORTABLE SUPPORTING
AT GOING TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD SURE.
THANK YOU SIR GREAT.
YEAH I'M I'M LOOKING THROUGH
LANGUAGE HERE I MEAN IN TERMS OF
THEY'RE MAKING REASONABLE
EFFORTS IT'S JUST TO ELIGIBLE
VOTERS.
AND TO.
.
BEGINNING THE YEAR I MEAN
THERE'S NO.
YET PROMOTING AWARENESS
ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION
THERE'S NO SORT OF CONFINING
STATISTIC HERE AND IN FACT RURAL
COMMUNITIES FROM
MY UNDERSTANDING.
OR ARE PART OF THAT SORT OF
BROADER AT REACH EFFORT TO SO
THIS IS JUST LIKE AND THERE'S
NOT EVEN AN URBAN RURAL DIVIDES
AT TARGETING THE BITES OF.
YEAH.
SEEMS A GOOD ATHLETE APPROACH
ALTHOUGH OF COURSE YOU KNOW SO I
HAD THE BILL BEFORE ME IN ON
PAGE THREE. YEAH IT PICKS UP
ONLINE FOURTEEN IN UNDERTAKING
THIS EFFORT THE SACRISTY SHALL
PRIORITIZE HISTORICAL HARD TO
COUNT COMMUNITIES.
BASED ON A RESPONSE.
RATE DATA FROM THE UNITED STATES
CENSUS BUREAU.
THAT WOULD.
THAT'S WHY WHEN I READ THAT LED
ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE
TARGETING YOU'RE NOT GOING OUT
TO EVERYBODY.
SO WOULD THERE BE A CIRCUMSTANCE.
YEAH YOU'D ONLY SEND IT TO
SOME HOUSEHOLDS BUT NOT ALL
HOUSEHOLDS.
IT IS OUR I CAN'T SUPPORT
SOMETHING THAT JUST GOES.
TARGETS
I DON'T WANT.
TO TURN THIS INTO A PUT
POLITICAL GAMESMANSHIP AND I'M
NOT SUGGESTING SECTOR STATE IS
THAT WE HAVE SERVED WITH ALEX IN
THE SENATE SO AWESOME GUY.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEN
EXPECT YOUR STATUS SIR.
THINKER UNDERSTANDING WAS TO
HAVE IT GO TO EVERYONE TO THE
EXTENT THAT. THERE WERE LIMITED
FUNDS ARE THERE SOME BARRIER TO
CREATING THAT OR IT WOULD. ONLY.
BE FEASIBLE TO SEND IT TO ONE
COUNTY WE WOULD THEN CRY OR
TRIES THAT COUNTY WHO
GEOGRAPHICALLY ALIGNED WITH THAT
LOIS COUNT COMMUNITIES. HOW I
THINK WAS ENVISIONED A? BUT.
BUT THAT SAID THAT IT IT REALLY
WOULD BE LIKE.
THAT THE IMAGES THAT WOULD CUT
IT DOESN'T SAY COUNTY SO YOU
COULD GO STREET BY STREET
PRIORITIZING STREETS.
AND I'M I'M I'M NOT COMFORTABLE
WITH THAT HAD TO ME THAT'S
TARGETING THAT. THAT.
SKEWS DATA IT DOESN'T I WOULD
FIRST SAY THAT I'M VERY
FLATTERED THAT.
IT WOULD HAVE THE CAPACITY TO A
STREET BY STREET TO BUY THOSE
HOUSEHOLDS IN OF IT IF I MAY
INTERJECT.
WE'RE SHE HAVE A TECHNOLOGY PDI
P. I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU
ABSOLUTELY YOU DO SO THAT'S
THAT'S RIDICULOUS TO SAY YOU
DON'T HAVE IT.
SO VERY EASY TO GET THAT SO BY
HISTORICALLY HARD ACCOUNT
COMMUNITIES IT'S IT'S A
QUANTIFIABLE ANALYSIS BASED ON
PAST RESULTS IT WOULDN'T BE A
POLITICAL.
CALCULUS IT WOULD BE IN THE
PAST IN PRIOR SINCE I WOULD OR
SENTENCES WHICH COMMUNITIES
HAVING HAD A HIGH RESPONSE RATE
AND THOSE ARE BOTH RURAL AND AS.
OF THE CHAIR NOTED THOSE ARE
BOTH RURAL COMMUNITIES AND URBAN
COMMUNITIES THEY DON'T THEY
DON'T HAVE ANY SORT OF.
POLITICAL COMMON DENOMINATOR OF
THOSE ARE THOSE ARE REPUBLICANS
EVERITT COMMUNITIES LIBERAL
COMMUNITIES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
DOING IT THROUGH THE CHAIR.
YEAH I JUST I JUST LET ME JUST
INTERJECT ONE POINT A FACT THAT
WILL ACTUALLY HELP THE GUY THIS
DEBATE JUST TO CLARIFY THE
SECRETARY OF STATE INTENDS TO
DISSEMINATE THIS INFORMATION
THROUGH.
A BALLOT.
GUIDE THOUGH THE BALLOT PAMPHLET
SO THAT GOES TO EVERY HOUSEHOLD
SO I JUST TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THE
VEHICLE FOR THIS KIND OF
COMMUNICATION IF IF YOU COULD
JUST TESTIFY THAT BECAUSE I
THINK.
THAT THAT MIGHT HELP ALLEVIATE
SOME SOME OF THESE CONCERNS IS
THE ACTUAL METHOD OF DELIVERY IS
JUST WAS TO BE AN THAT STANDARD.
OF VOTER INFORMATION VOTER GUIDE
SO WOULD BE THE VOTER GUIDE THAT
WOULD HAVE AN EXTRA. SENTENCE OR
NO. AND THAT'S THE SAME ONE THAT
GOES TO EVERYONE SO WE WON'T BE
SPECIFICALLY PRINTING SEPARATE
ONES FOR ANY GROUP.
SO. WITH THE ARTHUR BE WILLING
TO REMOVE THE SENTENCE SO THAT I
CAN GET TO THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T
SUPPORT IT WITH A CERTAIN
UNDERSTOOD I AM VERY HAPPY TO
LOOK AT REMOVING THAT AND AND
YOU HAVE A CONVERSATION BEFORE
GETS TO THE FLOOR IF HE GETS OUT
OF COMMITTEE. I DON'T WANT TO
SAY YES TO THAT ON THE SPOT
WITHOUT GETTING A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING BUT I FULLY
UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE COMING
FROM AND AND. NOW HAVE SOME MORE
QUESTIONS THAN YOU DO.
AND.
WE DO HAVE I BELIEVE DIFFERENT
BALLOTS FOR DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.
SO THE IDEA OF SEGMENTING OUT.
I MEAN I KNOW THE SAN DIEGO
REGISTRAR.
HERE'S A HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES THAT THEY
SUPPORT ME AND SO WE HAVE A
HUNDRED BETWEEN TWO DIFFERENT
VERSIONS OF THE IDEA OR THE
NOTION.
THAT COULD BE TARGETED AND
SEGREGATED OUT WHERE ARE DOING
IT.
MY ISSUE IS IF THE GOALIS TO
INCREASE THE TURNOUT AND TO HELP.
THE FEDS THEN WE SHOULD HELP
ACROSS THE BOARD.
NOT
TRYING TO SKEW THE NUMBERS BUT
EUROPEAN ONLY SAAB NINE.
OKAY.
SO. WELL I'M I'M GETTING SOME
FURTHER CLARIFICATION HERE THAT
VOTER INFORMATION GUIDE IS THE
SAME REGARDLESS OF. VOTER IS
JUST
THE LANGUAGE THAT IT'S IN THAT
DIFFERS BUT I THINK IT'S BEEN
HELPFUL COLLOQUY HERE AND
APPRECIATE THAT. LOOK INTO THIS
IN THE COMMENTARY SO I WOULD
JUST WANT TO SET THIS ONE ASIDE
FOR A SECOND WOULD STILL TRY TO
GET A CORPSMAN.
ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THAT TIME
GREAT.
.
THANK YOU SO THIS IS ITEM.
SORRY.
I DON'T HAVE ANY FIVE YES.
GOD PLEASE PROCEED ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. AS YOU KNOW EARLIER
THIS YEAR THE COMMITTEE HELD A
JOINT INFORMATIONAL HEARING ON
THE TOPIC OF ELECTION
CYBERSECURITY WITH THE COMMITTEE
THAT I CHAIR THE ASSEMBLY
ELECTIONS AND REDISTRICTING
COMMITTEE. ONE OF THE IMPORTANT
TAKEAWAYS FROM THE HEARING IS
THAT EXPERTS BROADLY AGREE THAT
THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST.
THAT VOTING MACHINES ARE VOTE
TALLYING IN CALIFORNIA WERE
COMPROMISED DURING THE TWENTY
SIXTEEN ELECTION. AND WHILE THAT
WAS A REASSURING AN IMPORTANT
MESSAGE FOR THE COMMUNITIES IN
THE PUBLIC TO HEAR. THE FEDERAL
STATE AND COUNTY OFFICIALS AND
OTHER EXPERTS WHO TESTIFIED AT
THE HEARING ALL AGREED THAT WE
CANNOT BE COMPLACENT BECAUSE
THERE'S NO REASON TO BELIEVE
THAT THE CYBER THREATS TO OUR
ELECTIONS ARE GOING AWAY.
IN FACT THE EXPERT WITNESSES AT
THE HEARING EMPHASIZED THE NEED
FOR CONTINUED COMMITMENT. TO
IDENTIFYING IN RESPONDING TO
CYBER THREATS.
ONE OF THE RECURRING THEMES THAT
EMERGED DURING THE TESTIMONY AT
THE INFORMATIONAL HEARING. IS
THAT MAXIMIZING THE
CYBERSECURITY OF OUR STATES.
WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES DEDICATED TO THAT
PURPOSE.
THAT'S ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
SMALLER COUNTIES THAT HAVE MORE
LIMITED RESOURCES IN THEIR
ELECTIONS OFFICES AND MUST RELY
ON THE ASSISTANCE THAT IS
PROVIDED BY FEDERAL AND STATE
OFFICIALS AND BY OTHER EXTERNAL
SOURCES.
AB THIRTY SEVENTY FIVE WOULD
CREATE THE OFFICE OF ELECTION
CYBERSECURITY WITHIN THE
SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE. THE
OFFICE WILL COORDINATE EFFORTS
BETWEEN FEDERAL STATE AND LOCAL
OFFICIALS INCLUDING COUNTY
REGISTRARS OF VOTERS TO REDUCE
THE LIKELIHOOD AND SEVERITY OF
CYBER INCIDENTS THAT THREATEN
THE INTEGRITY OF CALIFORNIA
ELECTIONS.
GIVEN THE ONGOING AN
INCREASINGLY SOPHISTICATED
THREATS POSED WERE ELECTION
SYSTEMS A. B. THIRTY SEVENTY
FIVE IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO
ENSURING THAT STATE AND COUNTY
ELECTIONS OFFICIALS HAVE THE
INFORMATION IN THE TOOLS
NECESSARY. TO DEFEND OUR
DEMOCRACY FROM CYBER ATTACKS.
TO HELP FUND THE OFFICE CHAIRMAN
STERN AND I BOTH REQUESTED
ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN THE BUDGET
FOR CYBERSECURITY EFFORTS IN THE
SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE AND
BOTH THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE
BUDGET INCLUDED SUCH FUNDING.
MISTER CHAIRMAN THINKS YOUR
LEADERSHIP.
THE SENATE'S PROPOSED BUDGET
ALSO INCLUDES FUNDING FOR THE
SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE TO
MONITOR AND COUNTERACT FALSE OR
MISLEADING INFORMATION ABOUT
ELECTIONS I FULLY SUPPORT THAT
EFFORT. AND I THINK YOU FOR YOUR
EFFORTS TO SECURE THAT FUNDING.
TO THAT POINT MISTER CHAIRMAN I
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE
INTERESTED IN ADDING SOME
LANGUAGE TO THIS BILL. TO CODIFY
THE ROLE OF THE SECRETARY OF
STATE'S OFFICE.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M
WILLING TO CONSIDER BUT I DON'T
WANT TO GET OUT AHEAD OF THE
BUDGET PROCESS.
SO IT'S AGREEABLE AND IT SEEMS
LIKE IT IS.
TO THE CHAIR AND THE MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I WILL COMMIT TO
ADDING LANGUAGE TO REQUIRE THE
OFFICE TO MONITOR AND COUNTERACT
FALSE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION
ABOUT ELECTIONS. BEFORE THIS
BILL IS TAKEN UP ON THE SENATE
FLOOR IF THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE
FUNDED IN THE BUDGET THAT IS
SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR.
AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH
THE COMMITTEE ON THE EXACT
LANGUAGE OF ANY SUCH AMENDMENTS.
A. B. THIRTY SEVENTY FIVE IS
SUPPORTED BY SECRETARY OF STATE
OUR EXPEDIA CALIFORNIA COMMON
CAUSE IN THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA IT HAS NO
OPPOSITION AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK.
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
AND WITH ME AGAIN IS TIFFANY
MARK FROM US THE SECRETARY OF
STATE'S OFFICE AS WELL MAYBE IS
NICHOLAS HEIGHT AREN'T FROM
CALIFORNIA COMING BECAUSE.
PERHAPS PERHAPS PERHAPS MS
ONGOING YOU CAN HANDLE YOURSELF
I'M SURE. WHERE PROBABLY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL?
THANK YOU OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
WHOSE MIRAMONTE WITH THE LEAGUE
OF WOMEN VOTERS OF CALIFORNIANS
SUPPORT FIGURE THANK YOU MUCH
REST.
I CHAIR MEMBERS NICK BROKE I AM
HALF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
OF CLICKS AND ELECTION IF.
THANK YOU
BECAUSE.
JACK LEONARD CALIFORNIA COME
BECAUSE IT'S.
OKAY.
ANY IN OPPOSITION.
TAKE HIM BACK TO THE MEMBER'S
QUESTIONS COMMENTS WILL HIS
RECORD I'M HAPPY TO MOVE THE
BILL USER.
WELCOME NEWS.
THIS ONE.
MAKES
ALL THE SENSE TO WEAR THEM AND
SO GLAD YOU TOOK ACTION AFTER
THAT COMMITTEE HEARING YOU NOTES.
COMPLICATED LANDSCAPE OUT THERE
AND WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE TO
LOOK BACK AT YESTERDAY AND.
SERVICE S. WHAT WAS LEADING UP
TO IT WE DON'T HAVE ANY FULL
INFORMATION YET BUT PART OF THE
CHALLENGES.
GOOD TO GATHER THAT INFORMATION
TO RESPOND TO IT ALL AND.
I AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE
COORDINATION HAS TO COME FIRST
RIGHT AND SO.
.
YOU'RE SORT OF MAKING SURE THAT
AT LEAST ALL ELECTION OFFICIALS
IN THE STATE ARE ON THE SAME
PAGE AND TAKING CARE OF THOSE
SORT OF BASICS OF GETTING THIS
OFFICE UP AND RUNNING. MAKES
TOTAL SENSE AND.
I APPRECIATE THIS SORT OF
CONTINGENCY HERE TO.
BECAUSE I HOPE THROUGH THESE
BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS FOLKS
REALIZE THAT.
YOU WANT TO HAVE THAT SORT OF.
I REACTIVE CAPACITY TO BE ABLE
TO COORDINATE SOMETHING HAPPENS.
BUT.
.
HOW TO ACTUALLY GO OUT AND
COUNTERACT AND PUT THAT
INFORMATION OUT THERE TO CLARIFY
THINGS IN THE RECORD AND ALSO?
THE THE VOLUME OF SCANNING GOING
ON OUT THERE NOT THE ACTUAL
HACKS BUT JUST THE ACTIVITY ON
THE WEB IS A HIGH VOLUME
EXERCISE.
AND TO EXPECT THE PRIVATE SECTOR
TO DO THAT ON THEI OWN I THINK
IS IMPOSSIBLE.
SO WITH THAT I AM SURE WE CAN
ENTER THAT WE HAVE A MOTION AT
THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
AND.
ALL YOUR OTHER BILLS ARE GONE
CONSENT HERE SO TRY I THINK YOUR
WORK. FIGURE WORK FOR THE
COMMITTEE STEP THANK YOU VERY
MUCH THAT RICHARD PRYOR THINKS.
MASS
JUROR LOW WELCOME ASSEMBLY
MEMBER.
HOPEFULLY THOSE PROMPT ENOUGH
FOR YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. THAT YOU VERY MUCH FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY
BILL NINETEEN FORTY SEVEN WHICH
ROUTE TO OF PROHIBITS OF
SIGNATURE DOLLARS TO BE PAID BY
THE HOUR IT THIS IS. A STILL AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS AND.
INDIVIDUALS TO BE PAID BY
STIPEND.
BUT THAT WE RESPECTFULLY
BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD HELP
MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF LIKE
TWELVE PROCESS AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR A VOTE.
THANK YOU SIR I WOULD ISN'T
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN MISTER
VICE CHAIRMAN CONSUMERS ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS AND WE
ARE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
WE'VE BEEN IN SUPPORT OF THIS.
EFFORT SIMILAR EFFORTS IN THE
PAST I AM I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT CALIFORNIA'S
INITIATIVE PROCESS WAS CREATED
FOR CITIZENS TO AFFECT CHANGE
WHEN THEY FELT LIKE THEIR
ELECTED OFFICIALS WERE NOT DOING
SO. AND OVER THE PAST TWENTY
YEARS WE'VE SEEN A MOVE AWAY
FROM REAL GRASSROOTS EFFORTS
BEING ABLE TO MAKE THE BALLOT.
WHEN SOMEONE WITH A MILLION OR
BILLION DOLLARS HAS A GOOD IDEA
THEY CAN JUST PAY. ON AS MUCH AS
IT TAKES PER SIGNATURE SOMETIMES
UPWARDS OF SEVEN DOLLARS PER
SIGNATURE TO COLLECT THE NEEDED
SIGNATURES TO MAKE THE BALLOT.
AND USUALLY BEFORE THAT BECAME
THE PRACTICE THE LACK OF OF
SIGNATURES. A SIGNIFIED NO
GRASSROOTS SUPPORT FOR AN EFFORT
AND AN EFFORT WOULD FAIL TO MAKE
THE BALLOT SO WE FEEL LIKE
STANDING THE PAYMENT PER
SIGNATURE A BOUNTY SIGNATURE AS
PROPOSED BY THIS BILL. WOULD
STILL ALLOW FOR ON PAVEMENT.
ON AN HOURLY BASIS OR A
STATEMENT BASIS LIKE THE AUTHOR
POINTED OUT BUT.
WOULD REALLY GET US BACK TO THE
INTENT OF THE INITIATIVE PROCESS
IN CALIFORNIA
AND FOR THOSE REASONS WERE IN
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
NOW MR WOLF I THOUGHT YOUR COME
UP IN SUPPORT SURPRISE ME ANY
OPPOSITION.
OKAY.
THINGS INTIMATE DURING THE
ELECTIONS COMMITTEE.
NICE AND HOME WELCOME MR. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SAT
IN MISTER CHAIRMAN WE DO SUPPORT
BILLS BY THE WAY PARA FAIRLY
ROUTINELY ACTUALLY ó I. I I
WOULD NEVER PRESUME OTHERWISE
HAVE SO THEY SOUND NOW JUST WANT
TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. AYE WE DON'T
LIKE TO RAIN ON EVERYONE'S PER.
SE.
BUT WE ARE GONNA RAIN ON THIS
ONE MISTER CHAIRMAN RICH GOOD
AFTERNOON DAVID WOLF WITH THE
HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION. IN OPPOSITION TO IT
IN NINETEEN FORTY SEVEN.
MEMBERS LISTEN INITIATIVES ARE
EXPENSIVE OKAY THERE'S THAT
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT IT
IS TIME CONSUMING AND EXPENSIVE
TO QUALIFY AN INITIATIVE FOR THE
BALLOT.
.
I THINK EVEN
TAKES ROUGHLY MILLION SIGNATURES
TO QUALIFY ONE FOR THE BALLOT.
AND THE BEST WOULD DO THAT AT
THIS POINT IS TO USE PAID
SIGNATURE GATHERS FROM ONE TO
BACK AWAY FROM THAT THERE'S A
COUPLE THINGS WE CAN DO.
WE CAN EITHER WILL DECREASE THE
AMOUNT OF SIGNATURES OF TAKES TO
QUALIFY MEASURE FOR THE BALLOT
OR WE CAN INCREASE THE TIME
PERIOD TO GO OUT AND.
.
GATHER SIGNATURES FOR AN
INITIATIVE FROM SIX MONTHS TO A
YEAR IF WE DID THAT WE WOULD
MAKE IT MORE OF A GRASSROOTS
PROCESS BECAUSE GROUPS LIKE
OURSELVES WOULD HAVE TIME TO GO
OUT. AND TARGET GRASSROOTS AND
GATHER SIGNATURES IN A MORE
NATURAL WAY TO WHERE WE WOULD
HAVE TO PAY X. NUMBER OF DOLLARS
PER SIGNATURE.
AND YOU KNOW I JUST THINK THOSE
SHOULD BE THE OPTIONS THAT
SHOULD BE EXPORTED TO DEAL WITH
THIS PROBLEM. NOT A BILL THAT
BANS PAID SIGNATURE GATHERING
SOME.
I WITHOUT ASK FOR NOVA.
THANK YOU.
ANY IS IN OPPOSITION.
MEMBERS MISTER VICE CHAIR
COMMENTS QUESTIONS.
OKAY.
.
SUIT IDEA TO TRY TO GET SOME
SENSE OF THE HISTORY HERE.
BUT.
UNDERSTOOD WE HAVE DONE SOME
EXTENSIONS IN THE PAST THE ONLY
QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU SOME
REMEMBER JUST.
THERE'S A SIMILAR VEHICLE MOVING.
FROM MISTER NEWMAN AT THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO.
THE.
PROGRAM.
WHERE YEAH? TRY TO WORK OUT.
WHAT WE ARE TODAY?
STILL TRYING TO ASSESS.
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS YOU KNOW
GOOD.
LET'S JUST I I WOULD. JUST KEEP
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE YES
IF YOU DON'T MIND AND.
AND LET'S YET NAVIGATORS FOR
LOOK HAVE WE'VE SEEN.
THIS SYSTEM BECOMES THAT I DON'T
THINK THAT
THE CONSTITUTION ANTICIPATED
WHEN IT WAS.
.
THAT THIS OPTION WAS ESTABLISHED
I DON'T.
I DON'T THINK WE'VE SEEN.
.
THE MARKET SORT OF.
KEEPING PACE WITH THE LAW AND
AND.
THE THE NOTION OF A COTTAGE
INDUSTRY BEING BUILT AROUND.
SPORTING DEMOCRATIC PROCESS HE'S.
TO ME IS SOMETHING THAT EVEN IF
IT'S
NOT.
GOING TO SOLVE THE ENTIRE
PROBLEM HERE BECAUSE WE PROBABLY
WON'T SOLVE ALL THE
MANIPULATIONS OUT THERE BUT.
IT'S OUR DUTY TO GO CASE BY CASE
AND PUSH THE ENVELOPE AND TRY TO
PLUG THE HOLES WHERE WE CAN WE
STILL HAVE SOME GAPING HOLES IN.
IN U. S. CONSTITUTIONAL
JURISPRUDENCE AROUND.
YOU HAVE CITIZENS UNITED CETERA

PETITION GATHER SOON REALIZED
THAT THIS WOULD BE A LONGER
DISCUSSION OF A CEASE
CONVERSATION SIMPLY DISEASES OUT
OKAY I DON'T TALK TO YOU. AND
THEN WENT TO THE OTHER. BY
STANDARDS TO TRY TO GET THE VOTE.
I THINK GET THEIR SIGNATURE AND
SO'S CLEAR CLEAR TO ME THAT THEY
WERE JUST INCENTIVIZE ON THE
SIGNATURE AND IF THEY FELT THAT.
YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE TIME DEVOTED
TO SOMEONE TRYING TO GET THEIR
SIGNATURE THAT THEY WOULD THEN
NOT WANT TO WASTE THEIR TIME
WITH YOU AND THEY BEING
INCENTIVIZE. AND JUST TO BE
CLEAR WE CAN STILL ALLOW FOR
HOURLY OR STIPEND.
