MEMBERS AB TWENTY THREE EIGHTY
WILL REQUIRE THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES. AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE
PROTECTION TO COLLABORATE ON
REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE
OPERATIONS OF PRIVATELY
CONTRACTED PRIVATE FIRE
RESOURCES.
THIS BILL IS THE DIRECT RESULT
OF COMMUNICATION I HAD WITH.
YES IN CALIFORNIA OR FOLLOWING
THE WILDFIRES THAT AFFECTED MANY
OF OUR DISTRICTS. LAST FALL
FIREFIGHTERS FROM ACROSS THE
STATE WORKED TO FIGHT THESE
FIRES AND THERE'S SIGNIFICANT
PRESENCE OF PRIVATELY CONTRACTED
RESOURCES. THIS PART CONFUSION
AND QUESTIONS ABOUT PRIVATE FIRE
PART. PREVENTION CONTRACTORS AND
HOW THEY INTERACT WITH STATE AND
LOCAL PUBLIC FIREFIGHTERS.
LET ME MAKE CLEAR THAT I VALUE
EVERY PARTIES EFFORTS TO PROTECT
OUR CONSTITUENTS IN THE
COMMUNITIES. AS LONG AS THEY'RE
WORKING WITHIN THE INCIDENT
COMMAND STRUCTURE.
DEVELOPING STANDARD GUIDELINES
FOR COMMUNICATION COORDINATION
AND IDENTIFICATION AB TWENTY
THREE EIGHTY WILL. PUT IT INTO
CONFUSION ABOUT WHETHER FAR
RESOURCES ARE TRAINED PUBLIC
FIRST RESPONDERS OR PRIVATELY
CONTRACTED FOR SPECIFIC
PREVENTION PURPOSE. ANDIT WILL
STRENGTHEN OVERALL EMERGENCY
RESPONSE STANDARDS TO BENEFIT
ALL FIRE RESOURCES INVOLVED IN
AN ACT OF FIRE.
IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EMERGENCY WE
DO NOT WANT OUR CONSTITUENTS TO
INCORRECTLY ASSUME THE PRIVATE
FIRE CONTRACTORS. HIRED BY
PRIVATE COMPANIES ARE FOR
SUPPORT GROUP FOR FIRST
RESPONDERS. THAT WILL AID THE
PUBLIC. REGARDING THE COMMENTS
OF THE ANALYSIS I'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH THE STAKE HOLDERS
TO CLARIFY HOW AND WHEN PRIVATE
CONTRACTORS SHOULD BE ABLE. TO
ACCESS EVACUATED AREAS.
I ASSURE THE COMMITTEE THAT I
WOULD HAVE HIM SENSITIVE TO THE
SITUATION. I'M WORKING TOGETHER
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION TO GET
FEEDBACK ON THIS. THESE
TERRITORIES ARE CLOSED OFF FOR
SIGNIFICANT. PUBLIC SAFETY
REASON. IT'S A COMMAND MUST BE
ABLE TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL PARTIES
IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
ESPECIALLY WHEN EVACUATION
ORDERS ARE GIVEN. THIS IS FOR
THE SAFETY OF THE CONTRACTORS
THE PUBLIC RESPONDED AND THE
PUBLIC.
I ASK FOR YOUR EYE VOTE TODAY

THEM ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS. OF
POLICE TO BE SPONSORS THIS
MEASURE WEIRD YOUR STRONG
SUPPORT TODAY I SENATOR DODD
MISTER CHAIR I DON'T HAVE TO
TELL YOU. THE DEVASTATION THAT
STRUCK CALIFORNIA LATE LAST FALL.
AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF OF MY
MY MEMBERS THAT THE MAGNITUDE OF
THE FIRE AND THE
UNPREDICTABILITY I HAD A VENTURE
A FIREFIGHTER. CAPTAIN WHO'S
BEEN A FIREFIGHTER FOR TWENTY
EIGHT YEARS WHO IN THE THOMAS
FIRE SAID I'VE WATCHED THAT FIRE
BURN. FIVE TIMES OVER THE COURSE
OF MY THIRTY YEAR CAREER AND IT
HAS NEVER MOVED WITH SUCH
VENGEANCE AND SUCH SPEED. AND SO
I RESPECT ALL OF THE STAKE
HOLDERS AS. OUR AUTHOR SO
EXPERTLY SAID ABOUT THEIR
WILLINGNESS AND INTEREST TO BE
ALL HANDS ON DECK IN THESE
SCENARIOS BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO
HAVE A VERY CLEAR. COMMAND AND
CONTROL SO THAT THEY THEMSELVES
ARE NOT IN HARM'S WAY AND THE
FIREFIGHTERS ARE NOT IN HARM'S
WAY TRYING TO EVACUATE THEM IF
THEY DON'T HEED THE DIRECTIVE OF
THE INCIDENT COMMAND SO I THINK.
THERE'S DEFINITELY. A PATH HERE
AND WE COMMIT TO WORKING ON IT
WITH OUR AUTHOR AND WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY THANK YOU SO MUCH
MISS BOWMAN.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
OUR MEMBERS NIGGLING ATLANTIS
WAS SENDING A GAS AND ELECTRIC
WE SUBMITTED A LETTER OF CONCERN
WERE NOT IN OPPOSITION. WANTED
THANK.
EVERYONE FOR WORKING WITH US
AND TALKING WITH US IN ONE TWO
AM ADDRESS SOME OF THE CONCERNS
THAT WE HAD A PARTICULAR HE
TEACHES QUESTIONS TO ADDRESS THE
EVACUATION ORDER AND
COMMUNICATION PIECES.
CAN YOU SPEAK INTO THE
MICROPHONE PLEASE.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW YEAH GREAT
AND WE HAVE A TECHNICAL EXPERT
AVAILABLE FOR ANY PARTICULAR
QUESTIONS BUT JUST WANTED TO
RAISE THAT. I'M SENDING A GAS
AND ELECTRIC IS THE BEST IN
pCOMES TO WILDFIRE PREVENTION
EFFORTS AND WE HAVE DONE
EXTENSIVE WORK IN INVESTING IN
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE TECHNOLOGIES
IN OPERATIONS.
AND THAT INCLUDES CONTRACTING
TO THIRD PARTY FIRE RESOURCES
NOT JUST.
FIREFIGHTERS BUT OTHERS
INCLUDING AN AIR CRANE THAT WORK.
EXTENSIVELY IN ERROR ARE
STRICTLY EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
INCIDENT COMMAND STRUCTURE WE
JUST THINK THERE'S A FEW NEW
ONES DIFFERENCES THAT WE WOULD
NEED.
AND WE THINK IT COMPLIMENTS THE
THE PUBLIC RESOURCES AS WELL SO
I'LL I WILL INTRODUCE OUR
TECHNICAL EXPERT HERE FROM SAN
DIEGO.
GOOD MORNING TO. THE CHAIRMAN
AND.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I THANK YOU
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY YOU'VE
GIVEN ME A DOUBLE WHAMMY FROM
SENATE WE GOT SELECTED ONE OF
THE FIRE COORDINATORS FOR THE.
UTILITY IN SAN DIEGO. AND I
HAVE MY PRIOR CAREER WAS THIRTY
FIVE YEARS IN THE FIRE SERVICE
AND A TYPE ONE ISN'T COMMANDERS
ON THE QT OR. A FAMILIAR WITH
THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE THIS MORNING THE ONLY
TWO OF THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE
WORRIED ABOUT ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT IS JUST A WORDING.
REGARDING THE.
THE EVACUATION ORDERS AS WELL
AS A COMMUNICATION DIA PART
PORTIONS AND ADJUST THE WORDING
LET ME BE CLEAR I THOUGHT WERE
NOT CONSIDERED WERE NOT
ADDRESSING THE ISSUE WITH THE AT
THE PRIVATE. INSURERS AND THEIR
USE OF THE.
CONTRACT RESOURCES WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THOSE RESOURCES
THAT ARE CONTRACTED BY THE
UTILITY AND PERFORMING
ASSISTANCE TO ARE YOU QUALIFIED
ELECTRICAL WORKERS IN THE FIELD.
AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE CLEAR
THAT THE WORDING DOES NOT
PROHIBIT US FROM CONTINUE THAT
OPERATION CURRENTLY WE SEND OUT
OUR TEAMS OF A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICAL WORKERS LINEMAN. TO
DO REPAIRS TO DO PATROLS AND WE
MARRY THEM UP WITH A PRIVATE
CONTRACT RESOURCES AT TWO ENGINE.
CHASE. ENGINE AND DID PROVIDE
THAT ASSISTANCE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO
CONTINUE THAT OPERATION WITH OUR
ELECTRICAL WORKERS WHEN
EVACUATION ORDERS GIVEN. AND A
AND SUCH I PERFORM THE JOB AS A
LIAISON AT THE INSTANT COMMAND
POST AND SO I AM DIRECT.
INDIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THE
ICY INTO COMMANDER TO OUR
RESOURCES IN THE FIELD AND SO
THAT WE'VE WORKED ON THIS FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS SINCE TWO
THOUSAND SEVEN AND HAVE
DEVELOPED A REALLY ROBUST SYSTEM
TO WORK WITH THIS AND WORK WITH
OUR FIRE AGENCIES IN SENEGAL SO.
OUR CONCERN IS THAT EVACUATION
ORDER IF WE CONTINUED bTINUE
TO USE OUR RESOURCES AND
EFFECTIVE WAY AND NOT ENCUMBER
THE RESOURCES THAT ARE DOING THE
FIRE SUPPRESSION. THAT'S A WIN
FOR BOTH SIDES AS WELL THE
COMMUNICATION.
WE YOU HAVE WORLD FREQUENCY
WE'RE NOT TRYING TO GET ON THE.
THE COMMAND FREQUENCIES A USER
FREQUENCY WE HAVE OUR OWN RADIOS
OUR OWN SYSTEMS WE CAN
COMMUNICATE FROM THE COMMAND
POST TO THE FIELD. ONLY CONCERN
IS WE MONITOR THE VHF FREQUENCY
THE COMMAND AND TACTICAL FOR
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS WE WERE
TO BE ABLE TO. CONTINUE TO
MONITOR THAT FREQUENCY AND IF
THERE'S A LIFE AND DEATH
SITUATION TO BE ABLE TO CALL UP
AND HAIL.
PERSISTENCE AND WE AGAIN WE
WORK WITH THE INTO COMMANDER ON
THOSE THINGS AND MAKE SURE THOSE
PROTOCOLS IN PLACE. SO AGAIN I
HOPE I'VE ANSWERED YOUR
QUESTIONS I HOPE BY THE AGENDA
EFFECTIVELY BUT A. YEAH. THE
TIME YOU'VE GIVEN ME THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
BRING IT BACK TO.
.
THIS COMMITTEE.
CENTER WAY SO.
THANK YOU MANAGED TO MAKE SOME
COMMENTS TO APPLAUD THE AUTHOR'S
EFFORTS IN THIS EVERYTHING THAT
WE CAN DO TO. IMPROVE RESPONSE
TIMES TO PROTECT OUR
FIREFIGHTERS TO PROTECT THE
VICTIMS OF FIRE. WE HAVE TO
START TAKING THOSE ACTIONS NOW
THIS IS THE TIME TO START TO ACT
WE ARE SEEING. THE WILDFIRES ARE
ARE GETTING MORE VIOLENT MORE
PERVASIVE THE MORE COMMON IN OUR
STATE. SO.
TAKING HIS BUSINESS BUILT A
WONDERFUL BILL. PRICE SUPPORT
EVERY ASPECT OF IT.
I DID I KNOW WE'VE BEEN IN
COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR OFFICE
ABOUT SOME CONCERNS THAT WERE
EXPRESSED BY. OUR OUR LOCAL
UTILITY IN SAN DIEGO. SENEGAL
HAS PROBABLY MORE YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE. THAN AT ANY OTHER
UTILITY HANDILY IN.
WILDFIRES. IN THE LAST FIFTEEN
YEARS WE'VE BEEN HIT REALLY HARD
AND. IF YOU VISIT. THE EMERGENCY
RESPONSE COULD COMMAND POST AND.
THE COMMAND OFFICE AND AND AND
NOT AT AT SOME PRESTIGE YOU NEED
IS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. WHAT
THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO PUT
TOGETHER THE WEATHER STATION? IS
NOW WEATHER STATION THAT OUR. TV
STATIONS ACTUALLY GO TO FOR
INFORMATION THERE SO ACCURATE.
AND THEY'RE SO.
.
HE QUIPPED THAT MONITOR IN. THE
COUNTY FOR FIRES OTHER REALLY
STATE OF THE OF OUR ART ADVANCE
AND THEY HAVE ESTABLISHED. BOB
PROTOCOLS INTERNALLY THAT. HAVE
BEEN.
THE FINE TUNED OVER FIFTEEN
YEARS OF TRIAL AND ERROR. AND WE
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT. IN
YOUR EFFORTS TO IMPROVE RESPONSE
TIMES AND PROTECT FIREFIGHTERS
THAT WE DON'T.
INTERRUPT A A PROGRAM THAT'S
ALREADY PROVEN TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
IN OUR COUNTY AND WE JUST
ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK WITH AND I
KNOWYOU'VE EXPRESSES. THE
WILLINGNESS TO DO THAT I JUST
WANTED TO.
.
SUPPORT YOUR WORK AND ALSO
ENCOURAGE YOU TO WORK WITH THEM
TO. GET IT YOU KNOW THEY ALWAYS
SAY THE DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS
AND. THAT SOMETIMES THE THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND
FAILURE IS. IS S IS IS IN A IN
A IN A MINUTE.
OR A HANNAH AND MY NEW SMALL
AMOUNT OF TIME IN RESPONSE TO
MAKING SURE THAT YEAR EFFICIENT
EFFECTIVE AND. THEN A QUICK
RESPONSE SO THANK YOU VERY
WELCOME.
YOU IN A BODY ELSE. CENTER GAINS
YEAH I'D JUST LIKE TO GET A.
IS THE QUESTION OF
CLARIFICATION.
IF I COULD THE.
EVERYONE IN OUR RULER KERRY IN
TERMS OF.
.
IT SAYS HERE THAT THERE MAY BE
AN ISSUE WITH.
UTILITIES NOT BEING ABLE TO.
.
TO CUT FIRE BREAKS I CAN YOU
HELP CLARIFY THAT FOR ME. WILL
THIS BILL IS NOT RUN THAT STORY
ABOUT THE FIRE BREAKS PER SE
THIS IS JUST WHEN THE FIRES
HAPPENING THAT WE HAVE
COORDINATION THE INCIDENT
COMMAND. AND MY MAIN KEY KEY
HERE IS TO MAKE SURE IS THAT
EVERYONE'S COORDINATED BETWEEN
OF PART OF A PRIVATE OF FIRE
RESOURCES VERSES ARE PUBLIC FIRE
RESOURCES. SO THAT'S MY MAIN
CONCERN HERE IS THAT THERE WAS
AT THE TIME THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T
REALIZE PARTICULAR IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA THE FIRES OF PEOPLE
WERE NOT. COORDINATING EFFORTS
SO THIS BILL IS REALLY TO
COORDINATE THE EFFORTS. OF
COURSE ONCE THE AREA IS DEEMED
THE THAT PEOPLE CAN GO IN AND
THROUGH THE INCIDENT COMMAND AND
THEY WILL CONTACT THE PRIVATE
RESOURCES WELL THEN THEY CAN GO
IN AND DO WHAT THEY NEED TO GET
DONE. CASE TO BE THIS MORE OF AN
ISSUE COORDINATION.
THE SO THAT IT IT'S ABOUT
COORDINATING ANTS DOING RIGHT I
MEAN I I'M I'M NOT MANY OF
YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THESE
FIRES AND INITIALLY WHEN THOSE
COME IN YOU'RE HAVING. RESOURCES
COME FROM ALL OVER THE STATE IN
AND. OUT OF THE. OTHER COUNTRIES
AND YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PLACE TO
COORDINATE THAT THROUGH AND WE
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURETHAT THAT
IS CONNECTED THAT IS.
AT THE FINEST AS JUST A NICE
AND TIGHT AND SPECIFIC SO
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE
DOING AT THE FIRE. AND THAT THE
PUBLIC UNDERSTANDS THAT WHEN
THEY SEE A FIRE TRUCK DRIVING BY
AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY IT'S
NOT STOPPING IS WITH PARTICULAR
PLACE. THERE IS A REASON BEHIND
IT SO WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THERE
WAS THAT THE PUBLIC WAS AWARE.
AND OBVIOUSLY WANT TO MAKE SURE
OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE SAFE IN THE
PUBLIC IS SAFE. IS THERE.
LIKE THIS FOLLOW UP.
.
THERE. ARE ANALYSIS IS SHOWING
CONCERN ABOUT THE CUT OFF OF
RADIO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN
THIRD PARTY COMMAND. AND WORKERS
ALREADY IN THE FIELD.
A SUDDEN BEING ADDRESSES AT A
REAL CONCERN ARE WELL ONE OF THE
THINGS WE DO HAVE THIS IS THE
PRIVATE RESOURCES MUST BE ABLE
TO MONITOR INCIDENT RADIO.
TRAFFIC THEY SHALL REFRAIN FROM
USING INSTANT RADIO.
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE IN
LINE WITH THE INS TO COMMANDER
AT ALL TIMES.
OKAY SO AGAIN THAT'S A
COORDINATION ISSUE. ABSOLUTELY.
ALL RIGHT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
WANT TO.
EXPAND ON MATTERS.
MISTER CHAIR WITH YOUR
INDULGENCE I WOULD JUST SAY ON
YOUR FRIEND.
ON YOUR FIRST QUESTION ABOUT
CUTTING FIRE LINES YOU KNOW OUR
OWN FIRE TEAMS ARE CUTTING FIRE
LINES AND IF. THEY BECOME AT
RISK THEIR VACUUM WAITED FOR
THEIR OWN SAFETY SO I THINK IT'S
IT IS NOT A DESPAIRED STANDARD.
FOR PRIVACY PRIVATE UTILITIES
WHO MAY HAVE A WORKERS IN THE
AREA SO THIS IS IT LIKE OUR
AUTHOR SAYS ABOUT COORDINATION.
AND AN ON AIR ON YOUR SECOND
POINT SAME IS TRUE I MEAN THE.
THE CURRENT FIRE SCOPE STANDARDS
THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN SAY THAT
THESE RESOURCES SHOULD HAVE A
LIAISON AT INSTANT COMMAND SO
THEY CAN CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THEIR. RESOURCES
UNDERSTANDING WHAT'S HAPPENING
INCIDENT COMMANDED WILDFIRES
MOVING OR THE DISASTERS
IMPACTING WHERE THEY ARE THANK
YOU THANK YOU THANKS FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY. ANSWER THAT ONE
OTHER POINT TO IS IT INTO THE
COMMAND IT I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW
IN MAP AND ALSO IN SANTA ROSA.
YOU KNOW ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO
GET IN AROUND THE AREA ALL THEY
HAVE TO DO IS IS TALKED FIRE
CHIEF. THE PERSON THAT'S IN
CHARGE TO GET PERMISSION TO GO.
WHERE THEY NEED TO GO SO I THINK
THIS IS A GOOD BILL ANYBODY ELSE?
I'M. SO WE'RE WE'RE WAITING FOR
ONE PERSON TO GET A QUORUM HERE.
DO WHAT CLOSE.
I'D LIKE TO.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NEAR AND DEAR
TO MY HEART. AS AS TO MANY OF US
FROM SENATOR DODD AS WELL AS
MISS LINA MON WE SAW THIS IN
ACTION AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT. EVERYBODY'S SAFE TO MAKE
SURE THE PUBLIC SAFE AND THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE THAT
SOMEONE IS WATCHING OVER THERE A
PARTICULAR DISTRICTS. SO YOU
HAVE MY WORD I WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH.
SAN DIEGO GAS ELECTRIC
PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS AND
THE ADMINISTRATION TO CLARIFY
ANY UTSTANDING ITEMS. AND WE
GOT US HERE FIVE OF WHAT I
THOUGHT WHEN IT COMES TO THE U.

THE MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER EIGHTEEN
AB TWENTY FIVE FORTY THREE THE

TODAY A PRESENT TO AB TWENTY
FIVE FORTY THREE A MEASURE THAT
WOULD REQUIRE STATE AGENCIES TO
POST INFORMATION ON BUDGET
OVERRUNS POINTS OR SCHEDULE
DELAYS. TWO MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS ON THEIR WEBSITE. AND
THIS CAME AS A RESULT OF AN
AUDIT WE DID ON THE WATER FIXES
KINDA LOOKING AT EVERYTHING AND
THE MASSIVE OVERRUNS THERE HAVE
BEEN. SO THAT THE AUDITOR AND
MADE SOME SUGGESTIONS.
AND THIS IS THE ONE THAT WE
THOUGHT THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE
AWARE OF. AND AGAIN I APPRECIATE
THE.
POSITIONS.
OPPOSITION.
BUT THIS ONLY APPLIES TO STATE
PROJECTS THAT ARE OVER A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS OVER A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR STATE PROJECTS
THAT OVERRUN BECAUSE SIGNIFICANT
WAY EITHER TIME OR MONEY AND
THAT BE LISTED TO THE PUBLIC HAS
FULL AND ACCESSIBLE TRANSPARENCY.
AS TO THE COST OF OUR PROJECTS

WE'RE ON AB TWENTY FIVE FORTY
THREE IN CASE ANYBODY HAS ANY
QUESTIONS.
GOOD MORNING.
MORNING MR KERRY COMMITTEE
MEMBERS JONATHAN CLAY ON BEHALF
OF METROPOLITAN DISCO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND A BROAD COALITION
OF PUBLIC AGENCIES AND
OPPOSITION. FROM.
OUR CONCERN STEMS FROM THAT WITH
EXISTING LARGE SCALE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS AS OR A
NUMBER OF REGULATORY HURDLES
THAT YOU HAVE TO CHECK OCCUR
THROUGH. EXISTING ALREADY
PROVIDES FOR EXTENSIVE OVERSIGHT
AND REVIEW ESPECIALLY FOR THE
LEGISLATURE EITHER THROUGH THE
BUDGET PROCESS OR THROUGH. AS A
SEVEN OR EIGHT MINUTES
HIGHLIGHTED THROUGH THE
LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMITTEE WE
THINK THAT THIS IS.
WA AD HURDLES TO EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS WHICH IS
PROBLEM IS LEFT UNDEFINED IN THE
BILL SO THIS COULD BE ANYTHING
FROM WATER PROJECTS ROADS
INFRASTRUCTURE. ALSO UNDEFINED
IS THE DEFINITION OF WHAT THAT
BUDGET AND SCHEDULE IS SO FOR A
NUMBER OF REASONS.
WE FEEL THAT THIS WOULD NOT
IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OF IMPORTANT
PROJECTS AND ONLY ADD COSTS AND
MORE PAPERWORK AND POSSIBLY EVEN
MORE LITIGATION BECAUSE THE
BROAD DEFINITIONS FOR THOSE
REASONS WE ARE. OPPOSED TO THIS
BILL. THANK YOU NEXT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SAID
MANNING ON BEHALF OF MY HOBBY
WATER AGENCY.
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
ABOUT THE WATER FIX WHICH
MISSTATEMENT REFERRED TO.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS
PRIMARILY AIMED AT AND THAT IS A
PROJECT WHICH WAS.
IT KNOWLEDGE IN TWO THOUSAND
NINE WHEN WE DID THE DELTA
REFORM ACT AND DRAMATICALLY
CHANGED A CALIFORNIA LAW IN THIS
REGARDS TO WATER POLICY. WITH
OPTICAL WILL GOALS WE ADOPTED
AUTHORIZE A PAID ALL THE
PLANNING PROCESS FEDERAL.
AT THAT TIME THE STATE
PROHIBITED.
ANY.
STATE FUNDING TO BE USED IN
SUPPORT OF THE WATER FIX.
SO THE WATER FIX IS FUNDED ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT.
BY LOCAL REPAIR FUNDS.
ALL THE STATE WATER PROJECT
CONTRACTORS IN PARTICULAR
FUNDINGTHE OF THE PROJECT. IN
MISS SEGMENT.
TO HER CREDIT IS AUTHORIZED TO
AUDIT STRELA GOT IT'S THAT SHOW
THAT THERE WERE IN FACT NO STATE
DOLLAR SHOES.
SO IT IS TRULY IRONIC. THAT THE
BILL IS AIMED AT A PROJECT
FUNDED EXCLUSIVELY BY LOCAL
RATEPAYERS. WITH LOCAL AT THE
BOARDS POINTED BOARDS TO OVERSEE
THOSE FUNDS. AND WHO ARE PAYING
FOR THE PROJECT AND HAVING TO
OVERSEE THE PROJECT INCLUDING
ITS CONSTRUCTION.
SO IF THE BILL WAS EXPLICIT AND.
EXCLUDING.
PROJECTS THAT A HUNDRED PERCENT
FUNDED BY LOCAL RATE PAYER MONEY
WHICH MAY INVOLVE A STATE AGENCY
WHO'S NOT SPENDING ANY STATE
MONEY.
WE WOULD. BE FINE WITH THE BILL
BUT AT THIS POINT WE THINK THE
BILL IS SQUARELY INTO THE WATER
FIX AS A WAY TO. GET AT IT. AND
FOR THOSE REASONS WE OPPOSE THE
BILL.
MORNING THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS MICHAEL ARNOLD
REPRESENTING THE THREE DOLLARS
MUNICIPAL WATER DISTRICT WERE
ALSO IN OPPOSITION FOR THE
REASONS PREVIOUSLY STATED.
THANK YOU.
OTHER MEMBERS IN OUR.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
WE TURN TO THE.
COMMITTEE. A COMMITTEE MEMBER
CENTER GLAZIER.
I WANTED TO GET A CLARIFICATION.
SO THAT THIS THIS BILL WOULD
AFFECT THE HIGH SPEED RAIL
PROJECT THAT'S CORRECT ANYTHING
OVER A HUNDRED IN A STATE
PROJECT OVER A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS. THAT AND AND I
APPRECIATE THE OPPOSITION'S
SAYING THIS IS LOCAL LOCALLY
FUNDED BUT THAT'S ALL TAXPAYER
MONEY FRIENDS AS ALL TAXPAYER
MONEY AND WHAT WE HAVE MIGHT
HAVE MIGHT HAVE MECHANISMS TO DO
SOME OVERSIGHT IF WE SO CHOOSE
TO. THIS WOULD APPLY FOR THE
PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO. BE ABLE TO
FIND THAT OUT FOR THEMSELVES AT
A WELL I WOULD JUST SAY.
SO MANY WOMEN THAT I I THINK
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BILL. AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE
TRANSPARENCY GIVEN THAT THE
COSTS THAT THRESHOLDS THAT HAVE
TO BE MET THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS
PROJECTS IN OUR STATE. I THINK
IN TERMS OF OF THE OF ONE OF THE
BIG TAKEAWAYS IN THE LAST
ELECTION WAS THE LACK OF
PARTICIPATION. AND.
IT UNDERCUTS ALL OF OUR
DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS TO HAVE
THE PUBLIC NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT
WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT AND THIS
TRANSPARENCY IS ANOTHER BUILDING
BLOCK. BUILDING THAT TRUST AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
LEADERSHIP IN MOVING THIS BILL
THINKING.
CENTER WILL COME.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR SO
READING THE NOW SAYS I HAVE
THREE WATER AGENCIES IN MY
DISTRICT THAT ARE OPPOSED TO
THIS BILL ONE OF THOSE AGENCIES
I ACTUALLY WOKE UP TO THE
LEGISLATION THAT CREATED IT LAST
YEAR. WHEN I CREATED THAT I ALSO
PUT IN A RATE PAYER ADVOCATE TO
PROTECT SMALL BUSINESS AND THE
RATE PAYERS. BECAUSE WE NEED
ACCOUNTABILITY TRANSPARENCY
HOUSE SEVENTY CAUGHT HIS BILLS
I'M SUPPORTING A TAPE TODAY BUT
WE NEED MORE THIS NOT LAST AND I
AGREE WITH MY MY GOOD FRIEND
FROM LIVERMORE. THAT.
THE MORE WE DO THIS THE GREATER
PEOPLE HAVE IT TRUST IN THE
GOVERNMENT AND WILL HAVE GREATER
PARTICIPATION SO I WISH I
THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BUT. AT LEAST
I'M A CO AUTHOR SO THANK YOU
THANK YOU SENATOR GAINS.
I YEAH I WANNA THANK YOU A.
AS A MEMBER AIKMAN FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD I THINK IT MAKES
TREMENDOUS SENSE IN TERMS OF.
TRANSPARENCY IN SUNSHINE. AND
HOPEFULLY WHAT IT.
I THINK THE ULTIMATE GOALS
ACCOUNTABILITY AND AND DRIVING
COSTS DOWN THAT IF. WE'RE
KEEPING AN EYE ON THESE COST
OVERRUNS THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES
ARE THERE WERE. SOME ISSUES THAT
ARE RAISED BY THE OPPOSITION IN
TERMS OF.
OUR CLARITY.
WITHIN THE BUILD THE I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO. I
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEIR.
SPEAKING TO SPECIFICALLY BUT.
I THINK ANY SUNSHINE IS GOOD
FOR EVER WHETHER TO WRITE PAIRED
STATE DOLLARS FEDERAL DOLLARS SO.
I'M IN SUPPORT THANK YOU THANK
YOU VERY MUCH SIR.
ELSE.
YEAH YEAH I JUST.
THOSE IN LIGHT UP SO CENTER WAY
SO I JUST WANTED A IN TERMS OF
IN.
YOU KNOW WHEN I WAS A CITY
GOVERNMENT.
ONE OF OUR BIGGEST COSTS.
I WAS SHOCKED.
AT HOW MUCH MONEY WE ACTUALLY
SPENT NOT ONLY DEFENDING
LAWSUITS.
BUT GOING TO I MEAN A LOT OF
THESE LAWSUITS WERE FRIVOLOUS
COST TAXPAYERS TONS AND TONS OF
MONEY.
WE COULD HAVE BUILT A PART PR
YEAR. IN OUR IN OUR CITY THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY WE SPEND
DEFENDING LAWSUITS THE MANY
CASES WERE NOT.
NOT.
.
FOR THE BEST REASONS.
AND IN TERMS OF JUST
UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS OF HOW
HOW THIS BILL WOULD ACTUALLY
TAKE PLACE.
BECAUSE I I I AGREE
ACCOUNTABILITY IS GOOD
TRANSPARENCY IS GOOD. BUT AT THE
SAME TIME.
I UNDERSTAND OFTEN BIG PROJECTS
ARE VERY HARD TO ESTIMATE.
SO IF YOU'RE BUILDING A HIGHWAY
ACROSS THE STATE IF YOU BUILD IN
A.
A RAIL LINE ACROSS THE STATE IF
YOU WILL BUILDING A WATER CANAL
ACROSS THE STATE.
OFTEN TIMES YOU COULD COME INTO.
ESPECIALLY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WERE STILL
DISCOVERING.
A FAULT LINES.
WE DON'T HAVE FAULT LINES FULLY
MAPPED OUT IN OUR STATE AND I'VE
BEEN INVOLVED IN PRIVATE
PROJECTS WHERE PEOPLE AFTER A HUNDRED OR A HUNDRED
FIFTY YEARS OF THAT PROPERTY BE
DEVELOPED THEY ACTUALLY FIND OUT
THROUGH THE SITE. A FAULT LINE
GOING RIGHT TO THE PROPERTY
NOBODY COULD HAVE EVER KNOWN
THAT THAT ACTUALLY DO STUDIES.
THAT THROWS A WRENCH.
INTO PRIVATE PROJECT AS WELL AS
A PUBLIC PROJECT.
AND OFTENTIMES. IT'S HARD MOST
OF THE THE WAY THESE PROJECTS.
THESE PROJECTS ARE OUR BID.
IS THERE PUT OUT TO BID WITH THE
INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
SOMEBODY BIDS ON HIM AND SAY I
COULD DO IT FOR THIS MUCH
WITHOUT ACCOUNTING FOR THE FACT
THAT THERE'S A FAULT LINE.
OR WITHOUT ACCOUNTING. FOR THE
FACT THAT THERE MAY BE. A LABOR
SHORTAGE OR WITHOUT ACCOUNTING
FOR THE FACT THAT THERE MAY.
HAVE DISCOVERED A BURIAL SITE.
THAT NOBODY KNEW EXISTED.
THERE'S ALL THESE THINGS THAT
CAN. PUT A WRENCH INTO THAT.
AT WHAT POINT IN THIS BILL IS
THE PRICE ESTABLISH AND AT WHAT
POINT.
IS ALLOWED TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS
AT WHAT POINT IS IT CONSIDERED
BY A LEGAL DEFINITION IS A COST
OVERRUN. RUN AND NOT AS AN
UNDERESTIMATE.
THE A IN IN AND COMING UP WITH A
RESPONSE OF. INTEREST COMING UP
WITH THE PRICE CHANGED ANY
QUESTION CENTER. SO THIS THIS IS
THIS IS FOR PROJECTS OVER A
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS SO THESE
ARE IF A IF A BURIAL SITE WAS
FOUND ON A PROJECT THAT SO I
THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
LEVELS OF PROJECTS. I ALSO
SERVED ON THE LOCAL CITY COUNCIL
WAS ALSO ASTOUNDED BY THE AMOUNT
OF LAWSUITS THAT WOULD COME IN
AND THE COMPLICATIONS IN IN
BEING ABLE COMPLETE PROJECTS NOW
WHICH IS FOR. YOU KNOW MAYBE
THREE FOUR FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
SO WHEN A WHEN A PROJECT IS BAD
WE'RE HOPING THAT. THE STATE
AGENCY IS GOING TO CHOOSE
SOMEBODY WHO HAS THE
QUALIFICATIONS TO BE ABLE TO DO
UP UP A PROJECT OF THIS
MAGNITUDE OF THAT HAS THIS LEVEL
OF STATE IMPORTANCE. AND SO WHEN
THE PROJECT IS BID. WOULD COME
UP WITH A COST ESTIMATE IT GOES
OUT THAT WAY AND SO ANY OVERRUNS
WERE NOT SAYING THE PROJECT A
STOP WITH OVERRUNS BUT THOUGH
SHOULD BE LISTED CERTAINLY I
THINK WE WANT TO KNOW WHEN A.
WHEN A PROJECT IS GOLD GOING
OVER AND ESPECIALLY SOMETHING BY
DOUBLE OR TRIPLE WHAT WAS
INITIALLY ESTIMATED WE JUST NEED
TO KNOW AND I THINK THE PUBLIC
HAS A RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO KNOW
THOSE THINGS AS WELL.
WHAT IF IF IT'S A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT IS
SEPARATED INTO THREE DIFFERENT?
PHASES IS IT IS THAT WOULD THAT
BE CONSIDERED A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR PROJECT SEPARATED THREE
PHASES. ARE YOU ARE YOU MAKING
THAT SUGGESTION OR. I'M ASKING
IS ANOTHER WORDS.
LET'S SAY A HIGH SPEED RAIL. IS
A TEN BILLION DOLLAR PROJECT.
THAT WOULD QUALIFY BUT IT'S
BUILT IN SEVENTY BILLION NOW BUT
YEAH WELL I MEAN JUST THAT
ARBITRARY NUMBER. WHAT WE SAID
IT WAS TEN BILLION AND NOW IT'S
SEVENTY BILLION AND THESE I
DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT THESE
ARE THE KINDS OF THINGS A PUBLIC
ASK ME ALL THE TIME? HOW DID IT
GO OVER THAT MUCH IF I WAS
RUNNING MY HOUSEHOLD I CERTAINLY
IF I WAS I WAS BUILDING A LARGE
HOUSE LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT? I
CERTAINLY COULDN'T START OFF
WITH A FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR
BUDGET AND NEXT THING I KNOW
IT'S THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO HAVE TO PAY
THAT AND AND THAT'S MY POINT I
MEAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO. BUILD
A HIGH SPEED RAIL LINE.
IT IN CALIFORNIA FOR TEN BILLION
THE INITIAL. PROJECT.
THE INITIAL LINE WAS TEN BILLION
AND OF COURSE.
THAT PROJECTS GOING TO GO UP AND
THAT'S MY POINT I MEAN. YOU CAN.
I'M JUST TRYING TO. YOU KNOW GET
WHY A HUNDRED MILLION WHY NOT
EIGHTY BUT AT THE SAME TIME.
HAD YOU KNOW.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
GET TO WHERE YOU KNOW. I'D I'D
LIKE THESE PROJECTS TO BE LISTED.
COST OVERRUNS TO BE LISTED BUT
I.
I I GUESS IT LIKE ANYTHING THE
DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS AND I'M
ASKING YOU HOW HOW YOU HOW CAN
YOU.
SURE THAT. THAT THIS IS NOT
GONNA BE USED AS A TOOL.
TO JUST SPUR LITIGATION.
AND USE IT JUST. YOU KNOW TO TO
STOP.
PROJECTS THAT ARE VERY IMPORTANT
TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR
STATE.
WELL I GUESS I WOULD ANSWER THAT
IN IN ANY BILL WE DO ANY KIND OF
LAW THAT WE PASSED IT HAS TO DO
WITH ACCOUNTABILITY AND
OVERSIGHT AND TRANSPARENCY. THAT
WE ALWAYS RUN THE RISK THAT
WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA SHOW
PEOPLE THAT WE MAY HAVE MADE A
MISTAKE IN SOMETHING OR A COST
OVERRUN IS IS BIGGER THAN WE
THINK. THIS IS PER PROJECTS OVER
A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IF
YOU'D LIKE. TO TALK ABOUT
AMENDMENTS OR SOMETHING THAT WE
WOULD PARCEL THESE OUT. BUT I
THINK WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
WE KNOW WHAT MASSIVE PROJECTS
ARE.
RIGHT WE ALL KNOW WHAT NASA
PROJECTS ARE SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT RIGHT NOW ALL THE MONEY
THAT'S COMING IN FROM A
TRANSPORTATION.
WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW WE DON'T
TALK ABOUT DOING A WHOLE FREEWAY
AND NAPPING OVER A HUNDRED
BILLION DOLLARS WE TALK ABOUT
PIECES OF THOSE AT A TIME SO
THOSE WOULD NOT MEET THE
CRITERIA FOR SOMETHING OF THIS
LIKE THIS.
I JUST I JUST THINK OF AS AS
MEMBERS HAVE SAID. ANYTIME WE DO-MORE OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY
AND INCREASE THE PUBLIC'S TRUST
IN THE WORK THAT WE ARE DOING.
THE MORE THEY BELIEVE IN
GOVERNMENT AND I JUST THINK THAT
THE MORE THAT WE HAVE A KIND OF
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THAT WE ALSO
DESIRE.
VERY GOOD TO HAVE A MOTION.

ROLL UP AND THANK YOU SEMI
MEMBER.
YEAH WE'RE GONNA GO TO AB TWENTY
FOUR FIFTY SIX SEVEN MEMBER BLOW.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR. AND
SENATORS. IT GIVES ME GREAT
PLEASURE TO BE HERE TO PRESENT
AB TWENTY FOUR FIFTY SIX WHICH
IS A BILL RELATING TO THE
CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL GRANT
PROGRAMS.
SAYS FOR PROVING GRANT
APPLICATIONS OF THE ARTS COUNCIL
INCLUDES A PEER REVIEW PANEL
COMPRISED OF EXPERTS IN VARIOUS
ARTISTIC FIELDS. WHO REPRESENT A
WIDE ARRAY OF DIVERSE GROUPS AND
COMMUNITIES AROUND THE STATE?
EXCUSE ME.
THIS BILL PROVIDES AUTHORITY FOR
THE ARTS COUNCIL TO PROVIDE AN
HONORARIUM TO MEMBERS OF THE
PANEL FOR THEIR TIME IT.
A SPENT IN MEETING REVIEWING
AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
GRANT AWARDS SIMILAR TO WHAT
EXISTS IN MANY OTHER. UP PANELS
OF ITS NATURE THIS IS IMPORTANT
SINCE PANELISTS ARE OFTEN
CHALLENGED IN THEIR ABILITY TO
AFFORD THE VARIOUS EXPENSES
REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
GRANT PROCESS. AB TWENTY FOUR
FIFTY SIX IS A WAY TO INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF GRANT REVIEWERS
AND WILL HELP EXPEDITE THE FLOW
OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING. THAT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS GIVEN TO THE
ARTS COUNCIL TO SUPPORT THE
GRANTEES AND NEW PROGRAMS WHICH
WAS OF COURSE THE LEGISLATURE
SCHOOL. THE AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE
HONORARIA WILL IMPROVE THE
COUNCIL'S ABILITY TO INVOLVE A
DIVERSE GROUP OF GRANT PANELISTS
WHICH WILL OFFSET THE COST OF
THAT THE PANELISTS WILL
OTHERWISE HAVE TO BEAR. HERE
WITH ME TODAY IS KRISTIN
MARGOLIS THE DIRECTOR OF
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS FOR THE
CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL WHO WILL
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
RIGHT GOOD MORNING THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN DIED AND MEMBERS.
WE ARE DELIGHTED TO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BRING THIS BILL.
THIS PAST YEAR WE HAD EIGHTY
PANELISTS IT'S CRITICAL TO OUR
MISSION THAT WE REACH OUT TO
EVERYBODY IN THE STATE AND.
OFTENTIMES WE FIND THAT THE RULE
COUNTIES.
HAD DIFFICULTY PARTICIPATING IN
PANELS IF.
IF WE DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THEM SOME
TYPE OF HONORARIUM. I MAY ALSO
ADD THAT.
BEING REALLY EFFECTIVE AND
EFFICIENT IN OUR WORK IS
CRITICAL FOR AN AGENCY OUR SIZE
WE ARE VERY SMALL AND COURSES
YOU KNOW WITH FIFTY EIGHT
COUNTIES IT'S A VERY BIG STATE.
SO WE DO HOLD WEBINARS.
AND DO EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY
CAN WITHOUT BRINGING PEOPLE TO
TO SACRAMENTO FOR PANELS BUT WE
HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS VERY
DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF. US
ACTUALLY SWATHS OF AREAS TO HAVE
A HIGH SPEED INTERNET CONNECTION.
FOR EIGHT HOURS STRAIGHT ONE TO
THREE DAYS IN A ROW AND SO IT IT
ULTIMATELY ENDS UP
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THOSE
AREAS WHO ARE UNABLE TO
PARTICIPATE.
SO WE WE WANT TO INCLUDE
EVERYBODY WITHOUT A DOUBT.
I WOULD ALSO ADD IT'S THAT IN
PERSON.
SITUATION THAT REALLY HELPS.
JUST LIKE YOU ALL MEET AND
DISCUSS DIFFERENT BILLS IT'S
THAT FACE TO FACE INTERACTION
NAME MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE.
AND WE ALSO FIND ESPECIALLY FOR
SOME OF THE RURAL AREAS AND IN
THE CENTRAL VALLEY THAT IT'S A
NETWORKING EXPERIENCE FOR THESE
ARTISTS AND ARTS ORGANIZATIONS
TO COME TOGETHER. TO COMMUNICATE
AND AND DISCUSS THIS ON THE WORK
IS QUITE ARDUOUS ACTUALLY I I
MUST SAY AND SO ON. IT'S IT'S
TOUGH FOR US TO ASK PEOPLE TO
COME FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE.
FOR FREE.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR.
LOOKING INTO THIS BILL AND WE
ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO SIMPLY TO
BRING THIS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY ANY

ITS KIND IN THE UNITED STATES.
SUCH A MOMENTOUS DEDICATION TO
NOT GO UNNOTICED. AND HANDFUL OF
OF FORMER PRESIDENTS.
FOR BILL CLINTON GEORGE BUSH AND.
UP BARACKOBAMA ALL RECOGNIZED
THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION
INCLUDING TWO FORMER GOVERNORS
HERE THE STATE.
WE BELIEVE THE CALIFORNIA SHOULD
HONOR ALL BRAVE MEN WOMEN WHO
HAVE SERVED IN OUR NATION'S
ARMED FORCES THIS MEMORIAL IS A
TESTAMENT. TO ON THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE LGBT
COMMUNITY. AND DOWN HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES WITH ME IS A TOUGH
ONE HERNANDEZ THE COMMANDER OF
THE M. POSTS SIXTY SIX WHO'S
BEEN LEADING THIS CHARGE SINCE
AT TWO THOUSAND ONE. RESPECT US
FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
GOOD MORNING SIR MY NAME IS TOM
PHONINESS AND THE FOUNDER AND
COMMANDER OF THEEVENTUAL
SUBJECTS INVOLVED BRINGS. AM
LEGALLY BLIND AS TO BE PAID WITH
ME TODAY AND I'LL LIVE RANKS ROD
CALIFORNIA. AND THIS BILL WOULD
MAKE THE AMERICANS FOR HILL GB
DEVENDRA OIL THE STATE OFFICIALS
TO CALIFORNIA WOULD YOU BE
DEVELOPED FROM OIL. AND UP.
IT IS MODELED AFTER LEGISLATED
TWO THOUSAND FOUR BY SIMPLY
CLICKING DEAL. TO HAVE A STATE
L. G. B. DEVENDRA MORAL THAT
DEAD BILL PASSED LEGISLATION
BUILDS VETOED BY GOVERNOR ARNOLD
SCHWARZENEGGER HE SAID WE DIDN'T
NEED ANOTHER. STATE BETTER THE
WORLD COMMISSION WE CAN AFFORD

YEARS AGO THE STATE HAVE A
MEXICAN AMERICAN VETERANS
MEMORIAL.
AND LIVES AND THE STATE ALREADY
HAD ONE THAT OF THE THERE'S MORE
OIL AND SAY THEIR GOAL IS TO BE

THIS BILL IS THAT AGE HE SAID
FORMER PRESIDENTS THREE
CALIFORNIA GOVERNORS OF HONOR
DOES MEMORIAL ADDITIONAL MORTAL
IS IT LOCATED A DIGITAL WORLD
PARK AND GIVE IT A CITY. A
SUBURB OF THE PAUL BRING HIM
DURING THE DRUG AND THE PUBLIC
SHOULD CARRY THE MEMORIAL SHOULD
BE MAINTAINED BY A LITTLE CLOSER
TO SIX MIDDLE RANGE FROM VERY
DIFFERENT. SO WE DON'T CALL FOR
THE STATE.
AND NOW I WANT TO SAY ONE THING
PERSONALLY ABOUT WHY THIS IS
IMPORTANT IN MY OPINION. FOR
MANY YEARS LESBIAN GAY BISEXUAL
TRANSGENDER AMERICANS COULD NOT
SERVE OPENLY IN THE MILITARY.
AND I'VE MET OVER THE YEARS
ABOUT THE HUNDREDS OF THE. GAY
LESBIAN VETERANS. WHO SAID THEIR
LOVED ONE DIED IN BATTLE?
AND BECAUSE THIS IS YOUR DAY YOU
WOULD. CONCEALED. THE MILITARY
DID NOT LET THE SAME SEX LOVER
DISPLAYED IN THE FUNERAL.
AND I FELT ABANDONED AND LEFT
OUT.
AND IT HURTS THEM.
AND WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE DOING
IS WHAT WOULD THE. WORLD FILM
PLAYS A PRIOR.
OR PEOPLE WHO AROUND THE COUNTRY
COME AND PRAY FOR YOUR LOVED ONE
THAT DIED IN BATTLE. AND DOES
THE WORLD NOT REALLY LARGE AND
SMALL. ISN'T THAT LARGE BUT IT

GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU SORRY
FELLAS THAT WHEN WHEN A LITTLE
FASTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD
AND SO. DASHED UP THE STAIRS.
SO THAT. THIS BILL IS ABOUT
PUBLIC ACCESS TO STATE FUNDED
RESEARCH CALIFORNIA WAS THE
FIRST STATE A NUMBER OF YEARS
AGO. TO ENSURE THAT AT LEAST
WITH RESPECT APARTMENT PUBLIC
HEALTH. STATE FUNDED RESEARCH
WAS THEN MADE AVAILABLE TO THE
PUBLIC AND WHAT THIS BILL DOES
IS TRY TO APPLY THAT STANDARD.
ACROSS THE THE ALL OF THE.
DEPARTMENTS IN THE STATE SO
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH. THE
SOME OF THE THE RESULT FOLKS WHO
ARE OPPOSED TO THIS BILL BECAUSE
THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO. SELL
THEIR JOURNALS THESE ARE ALL
SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS THESE ARE%
ALL JOURNALS THAT ARE.
REVIEWED AND SO THE.
THEY HAVE A BUSINESS THAT THEY
WANT TO TRY TO MAINTAIN. BUT OUR
INTEREST IS TO ENSURE THAT AT
LEAST AT SOME POINT. THAT BAD
AND AND IN THIS BILL TO BE AFTER
TWELVE MONTHS. THAT THE BENEFITS
OF STATE FUNDED RESEARCH BEN BE
MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL DOES THE
STATE DOES RESEARCH IN A NUMBER
DIFFERENT CATEGORIES. WHETHER
IT'S THINGS LIKE ALZHEIMER'S
TRANSPORTATION OTHER CATEGORIES
WE JUST NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE PUBLIC. BENEFITS FROM THE
RESEARCH THAT THE PUBLIC WILL
DIMLY PAID FOR. WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR EYES
OUT.
THE WITNESSES AND SUPPORT.
BUT.
IT. TURNED OUT VICE CHAIRMAN
WILKE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO SPEAK HERE I'M HONORED TO BE
A PART OF THIS VERY IMPORTANT
DISCUSSION. MY NAME IS ELLEN
HARMON I'M THE ASSOCIATE
DIRECTOR OF ACTIVISM FOR THE
ELECTRONIC FRONTIER FOUNDATION.
EFF IS THE LEADING NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION DEFENDING CIVIL
LIBERTIES ONLINE WE HAVE OVER
FORTY ONE THOUSAND DUES PAYING
MEMBERS AT MANY OF THEM RIGHT
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. WE ADVOCATE
FOR POLICIES THAT PROTECT
PRIVACY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
AND INNOVATION.
ACCESS TO KNOWLEDGE IS ESSENTIAL
FOR A HEALTHY SOCIETY WHEN
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IS LOCKED
BEHIND A PAYWALL AVAILABLE ONLY
TO PEOPLE WITH EXPENSIVE JOURNAL
SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE SUBSCRIPTION
BASED ACADEMIC DATABASES. IT
HURTS PEOPLE WITH FEWER
RESOURCES.
TWO THOUSAND TWELVE MALARIA
RESEARCHER BARR KNOWLES NOTICED
A DEPRESSING TREND DOCTORS IN
SUB SAHARAN AFRICA KNEW LESS
THAN THEIR WESTERN COUNTERPARTS
ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS IN MALARIA
TREATMENT. THE PEOPLE HURT MOST
BY MALARIA WE'RE GETTING THE
WORST CARE. DOCTOR KNOWS A
TRIBUTE TO THIS PROBLEM DIRECTLY
TO THE FACT THAT MUCH OF THAT
RESEARCH WAS PUBLISHED IN PAY
WALL JOURNALS. IN DOLE'S WORDS
THOSE WORKING IN WELL AND OUR
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS IN THE
NORTH DON'T EVEN NOTICE THIS PAY
WALL IN THEIR DAY TO DAY MINING
OF SCHOLARLY MATERIAL. BUT FOR
SCIENTISTS IN THE SOUTH THIS IS
CRUCIAL IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO
PAY YOU CAN'T READ.
WHETHER IT'S IN SUB SAHARAN
AFRICA OR HERE IN CALIFORNIA
IT'S WRONG TO KEEP THE LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS IN SCIENCE AWAY
FROM THE COMMUNITIES THEY COULD
MOST BENEFIT FROM THEM.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER STONES BILL AB
TWENTY ONE NINETY TWO WILL
REQUIRE THAT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
FUNDED BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA BE MADE AVAILABLE TO
THE PUBLIC WITHIN A YEAR OF
PUBLICATION. THAT CLOSELY
MIRRORS POLICIES REGARDING
ACCESS TO RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
POLICIES THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE
SINCE TWENTY THIRTEEN.
THE F. HOPES TO SEE AB TWENTY
ONE NINETY TO PASS THE SENATE
AND BECOME A MODEL FOR OTHER
STATE LEGISLATURES AROUND THE
COUNTRY TO EMULATE.
WE ALSO HOPE THAT THE
LEGISLATURE TREATS AB TWENTY ONE
NINETY TWO AS A FOUNDATION ON
WHICH TO BUILD EVEN STRONGER
OPEN ACCESS POLICIES IN THE
FUTURE. WE URGE THE LEGISLATURE
TO BRING MORE STATE FUNDED
RESEARCH TO THE PUBLIC ON THE
DATE OF PUBLICATION. IN THE FAST
MOVING WORLD OF SCIENTIFIC
RESEARCH A ONE YEAR EMBARGO IS A
VERY LONG TIME.
OPPONENTS OF OPEN ACCESS
SOMETIMES CLAIMED THAT OPEN
PUBLISHING HURTS RESEARCHERS
REPUTATIONS BUT INCREASINGLY THE
EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE. TWENTY
SIXTEEN WHEN CAL TECH
RESEARCHERS CONFIRMS THE
EXISTENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVES
ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY OF THE
TWENTY FIRST CENTURY THUS FAR.
THEY PUBLISH THE RESULTS IN AN
OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL.
TO CLOSE I'D LIKE TO TELL YOU
THE STORY OF A COLOMBIAN
BIOLOGIST NAME TO DIEGO GOMEZ.
IN TWENTY ELEVEN WHEN GOMEZ WAS
STILL A GRADUATE STUDENT HE DID
SOMETHING THAT MANY RESEARCHERS
TO EVERY DAY WITHOUT EVEN
THINKING ABOUT IT HE SHARED
ANOTHER SCIENTISTS PAPER WITH
COLLEAGUES OVER THE INTERNET.
THAT ARC BUT ACT SPARKED A SEVEN
YEAR LEGAL ORDEAL THAT COULD
HAVE PUT HIM IN PRISON FOR YEARS.
THANKFULLY THE TRIAL HAS ENDED
INCOME AS A SAFE. TODAY THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE CAN
ENSURE THAT NO ONE EVER FACE A
SIMILAR RISKS ON ACCOUNT OF
RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR I VOTE ON THIS BILL.
THE OTHER WITNESSES SUPPORT.
IF THERE AND. IF YOU.
TEACHER DIED AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MY NAME IS DOCTOR THIS
FALL I AM THE STATE POLICY
MANAGER FOR TECHNET. AND WE'RE
PLEASED TO SUPPORT SB TWENTY ONE
NINETY TWO WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
THAT THE RESULTS FROM STATE
FUNDED RESEARCH IS OPEN
ACCESSIBLE.
TECHNET REPRESENTS THE DIVERSE
MEMBERSHIP OF OVER EIGHTY MEMBER
COMPANIES INCLUDING DYNAMIC
START UPS AND THE MOST ICONIC
COMPANIES THAT TOO. THAT OUR
HEADQUARTERS IS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND WE PLAY MORE THAN
THREE MILLION EMPLOYEES.
AB TWENTY ONE NINETY TWO
ALLIANCE WITH A POLICY
PRIORITIES OF ADVANCING
INNOVATION AND RESEARCH
FOSTERING CAREER READINESS AND
INCREASING EDUCATIONAL ACCESS TO
UNDER REPRESENTED MINORITIES.
SO FOR THE ABOVE REASONS WE
SUPPORT AB TWENTY ONE NINETY TWO
AND WE REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT ON
THIS MEASURE AS WELL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
NEXT.
GOOD MORNING CHAIRPERSON DATA
MEMBERS OF MY NAME IS BRANDON
WALL THEN I'M A FIRST YEAR PHD
STUDENT IN THE DEPARTMENT OF
LINGUISTICS AT STANFORD
UNIVERSITY. I'M HERE TODAY I'M
HERE TODAY TO VOICE MY SUPPORT
FOR AB TWENTY ONE NINETY TWO. A
BILL THAT WOULD ENHANCE AND
EXPAND EXISTING LAW TO PROVIDE
THE RESULTS OF STATE FUNDED
RESEARCH TO THE PUBLIC IN A WAY
THAT IS FREE AND ACCESSIBLE. TO
GRADUATE STUDENT SUCH AS MYSELF
HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL INTEREST IN
OPEN ACCESS TO PUBLICLY FUNDED
RESEARCH IS VERY CALIFORNIA'S
FUTURE LEADERS IN ACADEMIA
INDUSTRY AND PUBLIC SERVICE.
OPEN ACCESS TO STATE FUNDED
RESEARCH ALLOWS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO MAXIMIZE THE
RETURN ON INVESTMENT THE
TAXPAYERS HAVE ALREADY MADE IN
THE FORM OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
A YEAR TO VARIOUS STATE AGENCIES.
BY ENABLING TAXPAYERS TO ACCESS
THE RESEARCH THAT THEIR TAX
DOLLARS HAVE PURCHASED.
UNDER THE CURRENT STATUS QUO THE
RESULTS OF STATE FUNDED RESEARCH
ARE TYPICALLY PUBLISHED IN PEER
REFERRED PEER REVIEW JOURNALS
WHILE THE CERTAIN LAWS ARE OFTEN
ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WORKING OR
STUDYING IN OUR STATE'S TOP
HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS.
PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE FOR MOST
CALIFORNIANS THIS MAY BE
PARTICULARLY TRUE FOR STUDENTS
AT SMALLER AND LESS WELL FUNDED
UNIVERSITIES SOME OF THESE
PROPOSED EXPANSIONS TO OPEN
ACCESS. IN THE BUILD MAKE THE
SYSTEM MORE FAIR FOR CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS THEY'RE CLEAR BENEFITS
FOR STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE AS
WELL UNDER THE CURRENT SYSTEM
STUDENTS MUST DEPEND ON
UNIVERSITY SUBSCRIPTIONS OR PAY
OUT OF POCKET. TO ACCESS
IMPORTANT RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY
OUR STATE THIS IS A NEW LISTEN
I'M JUST HERE FOR STUDENTS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. OPEN ACCESS
HELPS ENSURE THE CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO THE
KNOWLEDGE NEEDED FOR A STATE OF
THE ART EDUCATION AND NARROWS
THE GAP BETWEEN STUDENTS AT
LARGE WELL FUNDED RESEARCH
INSTITUTIONS AND THOSE
INSTITUTIONS WERE BUDGETS FOR
EXPENSIVE JOURNAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.
MAY BE MUCH SMALLER. I STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT A MORE
JUST AND FAIR SYSTEM BY PUTTING
THIS BILL OUT OF COMMITTEE
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. ANY OTHER.
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
