FAMOUS JURY HILL. SENATOR WILL
BE PRESENTING SENATOR WAY SAYS
BILL. AND SENATOR. I HILL YOU
HAVE THE FLOOR THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIR FIRST I WOULD
LIKE TO START BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS ON BEHALF
OF SENATOR HUESO. SB TEN FIFTY
EIGHT IS A RELIEF BILL NEEDED
TO ENSURE THE CALIFORNIANS HAVE
MEANINGFUL ACCESS TO RELIABLE
COMMUNICATIONS DURING DISASTERS
AND EMERGENCIES INCLUDING THE
ONGOING PANDEMIC. THE BILL
WOULD REQUIRE INTERNET SEARCH
THE INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS
ISPS TO FILE ANNUAL EMERGENCY
OPERATIONS PLANS WITH THE CPUC
AND IDENTIFIES THE BASIC
ELEMENTS THESE PLANS MUST
CONTAIN. SB TEN FIFTY EIGHT
WOULD ALSO ENSURE THAT LOW
INCOME CALIFORNIANS WHO DO NOT
HAVE ACCESS TO BROADBAND. CAN
KEEP THEIR HOME PHONE SERVICE
AT AFFORDABLE RATES THROUGH THE
LIFELINE PROGRAM. EVEN BEFORE
COVERT NINETEEN CALIFORNIANS
STRUGGLED WITH A LACK OF
BROADBAND ACCESS APPROXIMATELY
ONE THIRD OF CALIFORNIANS LACK
BROADBAND SERVICE. WELL 5% OF
CALIFORNIANS CANNOT ACCESS
BROADBAND DUE TO A LACK OF
INFRASTRUCTURE IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES NEARLY TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT. DO NOT HAVE BROADBAND
DUE TO AFFORDABILITY. I KNOW
SENATOR HUESO HAS FOUGHT HARD
FOR EXPANSION OF THESE SERVICES
IN HIS DISTRICT AS I HAVE FOR
MY COAST SIDE RESIDENTS. RECENT
EMERGENCIES INCLUDING WILDFIRES
POWER SHUT OFF IN PANDEMIC HAVE
HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR
TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS TO
HAVE EMERGENCY PLANS. BUT WE
HOPE THAT THE WORST OF UTILITY
POWER SHOT OFF AND THE PANDEMIC
ARE BEHIND US WE ARE LIKELY TO
FACE MORE CHALLENGES IN THE
FUTURE. AND WE NEED TO PREPARE
NOW TO LIMIT THE RISKS FACING
CALIFORNIANS. SB TEN FIFTY

IT OVERLOOKS THE EXTRAORDINARY
COMMITMENTS MADE BY THE
WIRELESS INDUSTRY IN KEEPING
CALIFORNIA'S CONNECTED. DURING
THIS PANDEMIC. FORTUNATELY BUT
BELIEVE ALTHOUGH WELL ATTENDED
THE RECENT AMENDMENTS ARE
UNNECESSARY AND LARGELY
PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW.
WIRELESS INDUSTRY AND OTHER
TELECOM PROVIDERS SIGNED TO
KEEP AMERICA'S CONNECTED
PLEDGE- BUT NO TERMINATION FEES
AND NO LATE FEES. EACH COMPANY
ALSO HAS PROVIDED THINGS LIKE
CREE DATA OPTIONS FOR LOW
INCOME RESIDENTS. NEARLY
EFFORTS TO PORTRAY EDUCATION
INCLUDING- SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION- THURMAN'S
DIGITAL DIVIDE TASK FORCE. ON
THE ISSUES BAD WE OPPOSE OTHER
REQUIREMENT THAT WIRELESS
CARRIERS PROVIDE SERVICE ANY
RATE DEEMED AFFORDABLE BY THE

FEDERAL STATUTES SECTION THREE
THIRTY TO SEE OF THE
COMMUNICATIONS ACT. ALTHOUGH
THE. THE ANALYSIS INDICATES
THAT WILL CHANGE CARRIERS
INVOLUNTARILY PROVIDING THE
INPUT THE INFORMATION TO THE P.
UC THAT UP BY TO BE OKAY.
HOWEVER THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT
THAN HAVING A STATE STATUTE
REQUIRING AND USING EVALUATING
SUCH AFFORDABILITY. WE ALSO
OPPOSE A MANDATE TO IDENTIFY
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE PLAN.
BECAUSE OUR TRADE SECRETS-
DISCLOSED PROPRIETARY AND
COMPETITIVE INFORMATION. WHICH

YOU AT CAN YOU PLEASE AND I'M
SORRY I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR-
QUIPTEL AT ADDRESS THIS
QUESTION BUT SOMEONE AND ONE OF
THE CALLS MENTION- VIOLATION OF
TRADE SECRETS SUCH AS WANT TO
SEE IF SOMEONE CAN CLARIFY THAT
FOR ME. IS THERE ANYWAY I AM
VERY GOAL IS THERE ANY WAY THAT
SOMEONE CAN ADDRESS OUT WHAT
THE I THINK I HEARD OVER THE
LIFE ON THE LINE- A VIOLATION
OF TRADE SECRETS CAN SOMEONE
ADDRESS I JUST TO. CLARIFY THAT
COMMENT. THIS IS. ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR THE SUPPORTER OF
THE COMMENT OR A NOT A RESPONSE
TO THE COMMENT. IN OPPOSITION
MENTIONED THAT THAT SOMEHOW IT
VIOLATES TRADE SECRETS AND I
JUST WANT SOMEONE- THAT CAN
SPEAK TO THE BILL AND HOW THIS.
MAY BE THE CASE OR NOT IF THEY
CAN CLARIFY THAT FOR ME THANK
YOU. THE BIGGER PERHAPS THE
DOCTOR POTTER COULD INSURE. AT
ACTUALLY THIS IS CHRISTINE MAY
YOU FROM TURN I MAYBE ONLY
BECAUSE IT IT THE ISSUE IS
PREVENTING THE DATA IN FRONT OF
THE COMMISSION. AND CARRIERS
ARE ROUTINELY CONCERNED AND I
AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN
ABOUT PRESENTING- PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION. TO THE COMMISSION
AND OR POTENTIALLY TO THE
PUBLIC AND INVESTMENT DATA CAN
BE QUITE SENSITIVE AND SO THERE
WOULD JUST NEED TO BE AWAY AND
THERE IS PLENTY OF WAYS FOR THE
COMMISSION. TO PROTECT THAT
INVESTMENT INFORMATION OF THE
CARRIERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
PRESENTING BUT THE COMMISSION
NEEDS THE INVESTMENT
INFORMATION UNDERSTAND THE
FUTURE OF BROADBAND THE
CALIFORNIA- WE TURN SUGGEST
THAT DOES NOT TRADE TO GET
VIOLATION IS A SOMETHING THAT
THE COMMISSION WOULD NEED TO
PROTECT THE DATA AS IT. BEING
PRESENTED. THANK YOU TOM AND I
HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION. AND
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING- SENATOR
RUBIO THAT THERE IS NO
VIOLATION OF- IT'LL- SO THANK
YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION- I
THINK I ALSO HEARD ANOTHER
SPEAKER DISCUSS- THE LIFELINE
PROGRAM AND HOW IT'S UNDER
UTILIZED THESE ARE PROGRAMS
THAT ARE SET UP TO. TO HELP
PEOPLE OF FIVE SOMEONE CAN
SPEAK TO- HELD THIS WOULD BE
DIFFERENT AND BE USED IN A MUCH
MORE EFFICIENT WAY VERSUS THE
UNDER UTILIZED LIFELINE PROGRAM
THAT THEY- I THAT THE
OPPOSITION MENTIONED. I
COULDN'T REALLY HEAR THE
QUESTION I'M SORRY SENATOR
RUBIO IF THE MICROPHONE IS
THERE ENOUGH THANK YOU ASKED
SOMEONE IN THE LIGHT MENTION
AND I THINK IT WAS ON THE
OPPOSITION SIDE THE MENTION
THAT THERE'S A LIFELINE PROGRAM
DESIGNED TO HELP ALREADY BUT
THAT'S UNDER UTILIZED- IF THERE
IS ANY WAY TO JUST MAKE THAT
DISTINCTION THIS WILL HELP THAT
MANY MORE PEOPLE. I THINK THAT
WOULD HELP MORE PEOPLE WOULD
WOULD NOT INCREASE THE- THE
ACCESS THAT'S NECESSARY THAT WE
WERE LOOKING FOR ITS THE
AFFORDABILITY ASPECT OF IT. AS
WELL AS THE BROADBAND ACCESS
THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED FOR
THIS BILL BECAUSE- BOTH OF
THOSE- WITHIN IT SO. I MEAN
CERTAINLY MORE PEOPLE USING
LIFELINE IS ONE THING BUT-
THAT'S NOT GOING TO ENCOURAGE
OR HELP THE ISSUE OF BROADBAND
ACCESS TO THOSE COMMUNITIES
THAT HAVE NOT HAD IT AND DON'T
HAVE IT TODAY. THANK YOU FOR A
FOR THAT CLARIFICATION AND ALSO
I DID WANT TO MENTION ON THE
OTHER PART THAT THE BILL DOES.
OUR PUBLIC REPORTING OF
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR
THAT ON THE ISSUE. THANK
SENATOR. WELL I HAVE A WITNESS
UP IN THE GALLERY I'M NOT SURE
IF HE WANTS TO. JUST GIVE HIS
NAME AND AFFILIATION AND
POSITION OR IF HE WANTS TO.
RESPOND TO THE SENATOR US AND
RUBIO QUESTION. I. IS THE MY
PLAN IN THE GALLERY. IDENTIFY
YOURSELF. SENATOR OF BURNING A
RUST WITH THE COMPANY CABLE AND
TELECOMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATION
TO THE TWO ISSUES I WAS
PROPOSING TO HAVE A RESPONSE.
THAT IS FINE WITH ME THAT'S
FINE WITH THE PRISONER SO TO
THE ISSUE OF TRADE SECRETS ARE
CONFIDENTIALITY. BOB AND
INDUSTRY IS A VERY COMPETITIVE
ARKET SO THE I REPRESENT
COMCAST CHARTER **** AMONG
OTHER COMPANIES SO WE HAVE IN
COMPETITION WITH FRONTIER
EIGHTEEN T. SO TO THE EXTENT OF
THIS INFORMATION IS SHARED.
WITH OTHER ENTITIES ITS HIGHLY
CONFIDENTIAL AND IS THAT THAT
IS OUR CONCERN AT THIS IS A
TRADE SECRETS OF TRACY PERCENT
OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT AS A
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL SOURCE OF
INFORMATION. AND TO THE ISSUE
BROADBAND DEPLOYMENT UNDER
UTILIZATION OF BROADBAND.
LEGISLATION RECENTLY IN THE
PAST HAS HAS PROPOSED THAT THE
PC OPEN A PROCEEDING TO LOOK AT
OF MODIFYING LIFELINE PROGRAM
SO THAT HE CAN EXTEND BROADBAND
SERVICES THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
HAS A RIGHT. DOESN'T MEAN FOR
WORK. SENATOR HAS SOMEONE IN
THE PAST THAT LOOKS AT THE X.
OF LIFELINE TO INCLUDE
BROADBAND SERVICES I JUST WANT
TO SHARE THAT INFORMATION THANK
YOU. THANK YOU MISTER OSCO I
COULD NOT IDENTIFY YOU. FROM
THIS DISTANCE SO I APOLOGIZE.
ANY OTHER. FROM MEMBERS OF THE
QUE YEAH SENATOR BRADFORD
PLEASE THANK YOU MISTER VICE
CHAIR I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION
IS A COMMON AND JUST TO PIGGY
BACK ON WHAT MISTER ROSS ROSS
STATED- BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE
OF WORKING WITH LOW INCOME-
TELECOM IT BROAD BASE- ISSUES I
APPRECIATE. THE AUTHOR'S WORK-
HERE BUT I DO HAVE SOME
CONCERNS IT SEEMS TO ME THE
BILL IS FOCUSED PRIMARILY ON
INTERNET PORTABILITY ISSUES
FIRST INTERNET SERVICE
PROVIDERS DESERVES SOME CREDIT
FOR PROVIDING LOW INCOME
PROGRAMS WITHOUT CAPS ON THEIR
PARTICIPANTS. BUT THIS IS NOT
SUFFICIENT ON ITS OWN THESE
PROGRAMS NEED TO BE ASSESSABLE
IT IS OFTEN UNCLEAR WHETHER
HOUSEHOLD OUT SIR PART WHERE
EACH PROGRAMS OR CHOOSE TO
PARTICIPATE SO I THINK ARE MORE
INFORMATION NEEDED BUT THE LACK
OF CLARITY ON ITS OWN. IS CALLS
FOR CONCERNS ME SECOND THERE'S
A LEGITIMATE DEBATE ABOUT HOW
FAR IS TOO FAR WHEN IT COMES TO
RATES OF STERN SERVICE PROGRAMS
THIS REQUIRES. IDENTIFICATION
OF AFFORDABLE CLASS OF SERVICE
AS DEFINED BY THE P. C. P. YOU
SEE. I UNDERSTAND OPPOSITION
HAS CONCERT. THIS GOES TOO FAR
WHEN A COMBINED WITH PROVISIONS
ABOUT NOT RENEWING FRANCHISES
SUCH AS DEBORAH AND OUR LICENSE
AND SI PC AND- BUT I THINK
THERE IS. HERE PINE I'M
PROMOTE. THE PRO GOAL OF.
SHOULD BE ENSURE BUT AFFORDABLE
SERVER PLANTS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO
CUSTOMERS AND I TOTALLY SUPPORT
THOSE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES I
DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GO
FURTHER. AT OUR RATE READ. OF
INTERNET SERVICES TO THE C. C.
P. YOU SEE HOW MANY JOBS THAT
THEY HAVE ALREADY AND I MANY
TIMES- FELL INTO COMPLETE
THOSE. AND FINALLY I AGREE THAT
LIFELINE PROGRAM SHOULD BE
PROTECTED AND PROBABLY EXPANDED
TO INCLUDE BROADBAND IN FACT I
A BILL LAST YEAR THAT WOULD
HAVE STARTED THIS PROCESS. THE
FCC HAS FAILED WITH THE
DELIVERY OF THESE TRANSITION
TOWARD BROADBAND BASS LIFELINE
SERVICES. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
DONE ON. THE AVERAGE SHOULD SAY
THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE SO
IN A THOUGHTFUL MANNER THAT
PROTECTED LEGACY WIRELINE
CUSTOMERS WHO WANT TO KEEP
THEIR PHONE LINES. THIS BILL
ARE PROPERLY PROTECTS THOSE
CUSTOMERS EVEN WHEN THE FED TO
FILL TO SO I HOPE TO CHEER WILL
CONTINUE HIS WORK ON THIS ISSUE
AS THE BOOK BILL MOVES FORWARD
AND I'M HAVE TO SUPPORT THE DAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR BRADFORD. ANY
OTHER COLLEAGUES WISHING TO
SPEAK. OF THEN- I DO HAVE ONE
QUESTION SENATOR HILL AND THAT
IS THIS SEEMS AT- TO BE OF THE
DOMAIN OR JURISDICTION OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AND I I'M
JUST WONDERING WHY ONE STATE
WOULD WANT TO. DO SOMETHING
UNIQUE ON ITS OWN. WHEN IT'S
ALREADY BEING TAKEN CARE OF.
YES EIGHT SEVEN. YOU KNOW I
EIGHT IT'S IN THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION SENATOR MORE LIKE A
YOU KNOW I BELIEVE FROM WHAT
WE'VE READ THE RECENT FEDERAL
COURT DECISIONS MAKE IT CLEAR
THAT THE FCC DOES NOT HAVE
BLANKET PREEMPTION AUTHORITY%
ESPECIALLY WHEN THE FCC HAS
DECLINED TO SET RULES ON I. S.
P.'S REGARDING THIS PARTICULAR
ISSUE. SO THEY MAY HAVE
CERTAINLY PREEMPTION ON OTHER
ISSUES AND AREAS THAT WE'VE
HAD. CONVERSATIONS UP OVER THE
YEARS ON- BUT ON THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE WE DON'T
BELIEVE IT DOES. THANK YOU. A
HEARING NO FURTHER QUESTIONS
SENATOR HILL PLEASE GIVE US
YOUR CLOSING COMMENTS THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR AND- I
AM PROUD TO ADD MY NAME IS A CO
AUTHOR TO THIS MEASURE BY
SENATOR HUESO AND THE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR RIVAL

MUCH SENATOR HILL THANK YOU
MISTER GRAVEL YOURS GOOD WORK
TODAY AND WELCOME SENATOR
JACKSON'S- YOU MAY PRESENT YOUR
YOUR BILL SB TEN SIXTY NINE
PLEASE THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I'M OF LOOKING AT THIS OF
A NEW ONE UNLIKE ANY I IN THE
PERSPECTIVE ANY OTHER
PERSPECTIVE OF FOURTEEN YEARS
IN THE LEGISLATURE SO HI YA I
HAVE TO SAY THIS IS A QUITE AN
INTERESTING CHALLENGE. BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BRING THIS BILL FORWARD AND I
FIRST WANT TO START BY THANKING
THE COMMITTEE STAFF OF FOR THIS
FOR TO EXCELLENT ANALYSIS AND
ASSISTANCE- THE- THE BILL AS
AMENDED THE AMENDMENTS OF WHICH
I. AM ENTHUSIASTICALLY WILL
TAKING I THINK REALLY CLARIFY
THIS BILL AND- PROVIDED AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE THE
PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS
INTENDED. FOR THIS BILL
REQUIRES TELECOMMUNICATIONS
SERVICE PROVIDERS TO REPORT AN
INVENTORY OF ITS CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE. S. DEFINED BY
THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION. ON AN ANNUAL BASIS
TO LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
OFFICIALS WITH REAL TIME
UPDATES DURING EMERGENCIES AND
PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTDOWN
EVENTS. IT ALSO REQUIRES THE
TELESCOPE WAS. TO MAKE
AVAILABLE IN EMERGENCY
OPERATIONS TRAINED OFFICIAL ONE
AND HE- SEE AN EMERGENCY
OPERATIONS CENTER IS SET UP.
AND FINALLY IT REQUIRES THAT
THEY SURE WITH THE CPUC
WHATEVER INFORMATION THEY HAVE
ABOUT HOW THEIR NETWORKS
PERFORMED WHEN EMERGENCY
NOTIFICATIONS ARE SENT BY
EMERGENCY MANAGERS AND
SOMETIMES NEVER RECEIVED BY THE
PUBLIC. SO THIS BILL A CAME AS
A RESULT OF A NUMBER OF THE
TRAGEDIES THAT WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED HERE IN CALIFORNIA
AT THE TIME I WAS CHAIRING THE
JOINT COMMITTEE ON EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT WE TRUST THE HAD THE
CAMP EXCUSE ME THE- FIRES IN
CINEMA AND THE CAR FIRE- THE I
KNOW SENATOR DODD EXPERIENCED-
VERY INTENSELY- WHEN THE
CAMPFIRE. DEVASTATED PARADISE
CALIFORNIA TWENTY EIGHTEEN
SIXTY SIX TELECOMMUNICATIONS
FACILITIES WERE DESTROYED OR
OUT OF SERVICE LEAVING BOTH
RESIDENTS AND EMERGENCY
RESPONDERS ON ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER.
THIS MAKES A DISASTER EVEN MORE
A DISASTER WHEN YOU CANNOT FIND
OUT WHAT IS GOING ON. THIS
PROBLEM WAS THIRTEEN TIMES
WORSE. DURING THE SONOMA COUNTY
KINCAID FIRE WHICH SHUT DOWN
EIGHT HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR
TOWERS IN OCTOBER OF TWENTY
NINETEEN. ALSO IN THE FALL OF

WITH TWENTY FIVE MORE IN NAPA
COUNTY SO THAT SENATOR DODD.
WAS SUFFERING A CUTE. SO I.
THESE WERE DOWN NOW WHILE OF MY
COLLEAGUES. OUR INCLUDING THOSE
OF YOU HERE TODAY HAVE
SUCCESSFULLY PUSHED. FOR AND
SOME HAVE PASSED IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION TO REQUIRE FASTER
OUTAGE REPORTING AN INCREASE
BACKUP POWER BY INVESTOR OWNED
UTILITIES AND
TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE
PRIVATE PROVIDERS THIS BILL IS
FOCUSED ON IMPROVING
INFORMATION SHARING FROM TELCOS
TO EMERGENCY MANAGERS IN THREE
FUNDAMENTAL WAYS FIRSTLY
REQUIRES TELECOM SERVICE
PROVIDERS TO REPORT THE
LOCATION OF THEIR CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS. AN OPERATING STATUS OF
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE IN AS CLOSE
TO REAL TIME AS POSSIBLE DURING
CRISIS WHY WELL IF THESE IF
THESE WARNING FACILITIES GO
DOWN. THEN THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES WHICH ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR NOTIFYING PEOPLE KNOW THAT
THEY'VE GOT TO TAKE OTHER STEPS.
THE INFORMATION ISN'T COP ISN'T
BEING. COMMUNICATED BECAUSE
THESE FACILITIES ARE DOWN SO
THAT GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY
TO THE LITERALLY AND I'VE SEEN
THIS HAPPEN IN MY OWN BACK DOOR.
ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
COMING DOOR TO DOOR TO DOOR TO
TELL PEOPLE THEY NEED TO LEAVE.
AND IT'S BECAUSE THEY HAVE THIS
INFORMATION THAT THEY ARE ABLE
TO LITERALLY PUT THESE BOOTS ON
THE GROUND AND SAVE LIVES. THIS
EMERGENCY THIS BILL ALSO GIVES
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS
THE INFORMATION THEY NEED TO
KNOW TO BOTH PLAN AHEAD AND TO
RESPOND QUICKLY TO THESE
EMERGENCIES SO ARE THIS IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO GIVE
THE FIRES UP WERE THOSE TOWERS
ARE THEN IT IS REASONABLE FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ASSUME THEY
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A
BACKUP PLAN. AND HOPEFULLY THEY
WILL DEVELOP ONCE THEY KNOW
WHERE THESE VARIOUS FACILITIES
ARE I MIGHT MENTION THAT WE
ALSO HAVE A HOPEFULLY ADDRESS
THE CONCERNS THAT THESE ARE.
OUR TRADE SECRETS OR THAT THERE
IS SECURITY CONCERNS BECAUSE
WE'VE ADDRESSED THAT AND SAID
THAT THE INFORMATION WILL
CONTINUE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE
CYBERSECURITY ANOTHER
REGULATIONS THAT EXIST BUT THAT
THE INFORMATION WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
BECAUSE THE ONES THAT NEED TO
KNOW. IN ORDER SECOND SAVE
LIVES SECONDLY. BILL TELCO TO
PROVIDE TO EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
OFFICIALS THE CONTACT
INFORMATION FOR A RELEVANT LEE
TRAIN TELCO OFFICIALS WHO CAN
BE REACHED TELEPHONICALLY ARE
ASKED TO JOIN THEM. IN THE
EMERGENCY OPERATIONS MAN'S.
HAVING HAVING SEEN THIS
FIRSTHAND AS MANY OF YOU HAVE
WHEN YOU WERE IN THAT COMMAND
CENTER TOGETHER IT IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE
INFORMATION AND TO LEARN WHAT'S
GOING ON THAT YOU WILL NOT KNOW
OTHERWISE. THE TELCOS HAVE
REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE
PROGRAMS AND WE NEED TO KNOW WE
NEED THEIR EXPERTISE IN THAT
COMMAND CENTER IN REAL TIME
WHEN THESE EVENTS ARE OCCURRING
AND THIRDLY THIS MEASURE
REQUIRES THE TELCOS TO HELP US
UNDERSTAND WHETHER EMERGENCY
NOTIFICATIONS ARE GOING THROUGH
THEIR NETWORKS. SINCE WE'VE
SEEN ALL TOO DEVASTATINGLY.
WHEN THE SCRIPT DON'T GO
THROUGH DUE TO WIN OUTAGE OF
DAMAGED EQUIPMENT THE PEOPLE
ARE NOT GIVEN THOSE WARNINGS
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE
ARE PEOPLE AND BLOCKED AID THAT
GET THE NOTICE AND PEOPLE IN
BLOCK B. THE DON'T. AND WE NEED
TO KNOW WHY AND WHEN AND THAT
IS THE THIRD PART OF THIS BILL
AND AGAIN- THIS IS A BATTERY
SAVING LIVES. WE WORKED WITH.
THE OPPOSITION. I THINK THE AS
I MENTIONED AMENDMENTS I THINK
ARE ARE EXCELLENT AND WILL HELP
US GET TO THIS POINT- AGAIN WE
REALLY DO NEED TO- MAKE SURE
THAT WHEN THESE URGENCY IS
HAPPENED WHEN PSP ESSES OCCUR.
THAT WE ARE ON THE BALL AND
THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THE
PROBLEMS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE
I NEED THE CAR TO BE A PARTNER
AT BEST THAT'S WHAT THIS DOES
AND WE THAT I WOULD RISK. I FOR
YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU SIR CHECK.
DUE TO THE CONSTRAINTS
REGARDING THE LENGTH OF
HEARINGS THE TECHNOLOGY
CONSIDERATIONS- WE WILL
INSTITUTE TIME LIMITS ON
TESTIMONY. ACCORDINGLY EACH
SIDE WILL ONLY BE PERMITTED A
TOTAL OF THREE MINUTES. AND
THEN ALL THOSE WISHING TO
TESTIFY AS SUPPORTERS. MUST
LIMIT THEIR COMMENTS TO THEIR

MODERATE OR NOT WE WILL NOW
TURN TO THOSE IN OPPOSITION. I
UNDERSTAND THERE ARE TWO
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION- BERNIE
ROSCOE AND STEVE CARLSON MISTER
OSCO I SEE YOU IN THE GALLERY
PLEASE PROCEED. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS BERMAN
ROSTER WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CABLE AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
ASSOCIATION. BUT WE ARE OPPOSED
TO SB TEN SIXTY NINE BECAUSE IT
WOULD MANDATE UNNECESSARY
REPORTS THAT WE ALREADY
GENERATE TODAY- THE KEY
SITUATIONAL UNDERSTANDING
AMERICAN SEE SITUATIONS AS AT
THE EMERGENCY SERVICES ACT.
PROVIDES THAT THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES IT IS A LEAD
STATE AGENCY IN CALIFORNIA THAT
WILL COORDINATE ALL ACTIVITIES
ARE DONE STATE AND LOCAL. AND
THEY WILL COORDINATE WITH THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. AS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATE.
THIS BILL LOOKS TO- ADD
SECTIONS IN THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES CODE SECTION THAT
ALREADY EXIST TODAY IN THE
EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE. TO KEY
PIECES THE LETTER RECENTLY WERE
ADOPTED BY THIS COMMITTEE AND
THE LEGISLATURE AND SIGNED BY
THE GOVERNOR THE FIRST BEING SB
EIGHT THREE THREE IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. SB EIGHT THREE THREE
LOOKED AT THE SITUATIONS OF
EMERGENCIES AND FALL SOME OF
THE SHORTCOMINGS OF HOW ISSUE
HOW EMERGENCY ALERTS WERE
ISSUED. THE IMPORTANT THING TO
UNDERSTAND ABOUT EMERGENCY
ALERTS AS WE ARE THE PLATFORM
FOR SENDING THOSE ALERTS
THROUGH. THE ALERTS ARE
GENERATED BY GOVERNMENT. THEY
AND ALL THE CONTENT IS FROM
GOVERNMENT CAN YOU THE
GOVERNMENT WILL DICTATE WHEN
AND YOU IF AND WHEN YOU WILL
SEND THOSE ALERTS. SO THE POINT
ABOUT STATUS ALERTS AGO AT. THE
EMERGENCY SERVICES ACT ALLOWS
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONTRACT
WITH THIRD PARTY VENDORS TO DO
REVERSE NINE ONE ONE CALLS.
THOSE ARE GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED
WROBEL. THERE ARE. THE MAIN AND
PHONE OR CLAIM BY LOCAL. PUT
INTO THE MACHINE AND THEN THOSE
ALERTS WILL GO OUT WHEN THE
GOVERNMENT ISSUES THOSE ALERTS.
THOSE WORDS MAY GO TO A CELL
PHONE AND MAY GO TO A COPPER
LANDLINE OR MAY GO TO AVOID
SERVICE. BUT THE ONLY ENTITY IN
THIS CHAIN THAT HAS ALL THAT
INFORMATION IS A THIRD PARTY
ROLL CALL. IN ADDITION-LAST
YEAR SENATE MCGUIRE HAD SB SIX
SEVENTY. THE PURPOSE OF THAT
BILL WAS TO PROVIDE SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHEN
OUR NETWORKS THROUGHOUT THE
RESPONSIBILITY IS TO PROVIDE A
NETWORK ALEX REPORT. TO TELL-
YES THE ANALYSIS APPROPRIATE
CALLS OUT THEIR CODE SECTION IN
YOUR SECOND BULLARD OF EXISTING
LAW BUT WHAT IT FAILED TO. NO
WAS IN ADDITION TO TALKING THAT
INFORMATION ABOUT NETWORK
AVERAGES FOR SITUATION
AWARENESS DURING A DISASTER.
THERE'S ALSO THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR CALIFORNIANS TO. NOTIFY ANY
APPLICABLE COUNTY OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY SERVICES THE SHERIFF
OF ANY COUNTY AND ANY PUBLIC
SAFETY ANSWERING POINTS ABOUT
THE ELDERS. THAT REQUIREMENT IS
ALREADY THERE AND STATUTES IN
LAW IT'S AS PART OF THE
EMERGENCY SERVICES ACT. SO IN
THE RESPONSE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS
AFTER THE FACT EMERGENCY THE
EMERGENCY SERVICES ACT ALSO
REQUIRES CAL- YES WITHIN A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS. OF A
DISASTER TO PREPARE A REPORT TO
BE SURE WITH ALL PUBLIC SAFETY
ENTITIES ON HOW WELL THE
ENTITIES RESPONDED TO THE
DISASTERS AND WHAT ISSUES THAT
THEY DEAL WITH. SO AS FAR AS AS
WE TRANSITION TIME THE FINAL IS
UNNECESSARY. THE AMENDMENTS
THAT THE PROPOSED BY THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS WILL DO
NOTHING TO CHANGE OUR POSITION.
THIS THIS BILL IS REDUNDANT.
AND UNANSWERED. UNNECESSARY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR US

TO PRESENT SB ELEVEN THIRTY
WHICH IS A CRITICAL MEASURE TO
HELP CLOSE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
BOTH DURING AND AFTER THE KOBE
NINETEEN PANDEMIC A LACK ACCESS
TO HIGH SPEED INTERNET WAS AN
ISSUE IN OUR COMMUNITIES EVEN
FOR THIS PANDEMIC TOOK HOLD THE
NEED FOR MODERN AND STRUCTURE
FUTURE PROOF AND SHIP
INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN GREATLY
AND- WITH. THE MOVEMENT OF
HEALTH CARE WORK DISTANCE
LEARNING AND EDUCATION. AND
ONLINE PLATFORMS IN RESPONSE TO
COPE IN NINETEEN. ACROSS THE
STATE WE ARE SEEING EXAMPLES OF
HOW THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IS
PREVENTING CALIFORNIANS FROM
ENGAGING IN CRITICAL DIGITAL
ACTIVITIES. WHETHER IT BE
STUDENTS HAVING TO USE THIS
PARKING LOT- TO OBTAIN. ACCESS
TO WIFI CONNECTIONS TO DO THEIR
HOMEWORK OR OLDER CALIFORNIANS
WHO DO NOT HAVE FAST ENOUGH.
INTERNET TO RECEIVE TELEHEALTH
SERVICES OR TO CONNECT WITH
THEIR FAMILIES IN ALL PARTS OF
OUR STATE. OF THE COUNTRIES
HAVE FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE
FIFTH LARGEST STATE THIS IS
SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AND WE CAN
DO MUST MUCH BETTER. A LACK
TERM INVESTMENT IN TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY READY BROADBAND
TECHNOLOGIES IS A KEY DRIVER OF
THE EXISTING DIGITAL DIVIDE SB
ELEVEN THIRTY WILL BEGIN TO
PROVIDE THE INVESTMENT NEEDED.
TO BUILD FIBER CONNECTIVITY TO
EVERY HOME SCHOOL AND BUSINESS

THIS BILL REDEFINED THE
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF THE

TIED DIRECTLY TO LOW INTERNET
SPEEDS SIX DOWNLOAD ONE UPLOAD.
MAKING IN IT AT. LIKE SB IN

OVER THREE MILLION SITTING IN
THE FUN THAT TO BE LEVERAGE
FROM VARIOUS OTHER GOVERNMENTAL

THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT IS A
MINIMUM OF TWENTY FIVE OR
TWENTY FIVE ON THAT ONE SURE
ABOUT THE CLOSE TO ONE POINT
FIVE MILLION CALIFORNIANS THAT
DO NOT HAVE. BROADBAND ACCESS
WILL BE PART OF ANY STATE
INFRASTRUCTURE EFFORT. AND THIS
IS CRITICAL GIVEN THAT SCALE AN
AGGREGATION OF THE DEMAND FOR
HIGH SPEED ACCESS WHICH IS ONLY
GROWN OVER TIME- CAN BE PART OF
ANY SORT OF LONG TERM FINANCING
AFTER BY THE STATE. THAT WILL
ATTRACT ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF
INVESTMENT CAPITAL TO MATCH ANY
STATE EFFORT HERE. IT'S

I THANK YOU VERY GOOD DOT NOW
THERE'S NO WELL THANK YOU. I'M
SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR YOU. THAT'S
CORRECT THERE'S NO ONE ELSE
THINKING OF VERY GOOD THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND NOW WE WILL MOVE
TO THE OPPOSITION AND I
UNDERSTAND THERE IS ONE SPEAKER
IN OPPOSITION. AND ISSUES ON
THE CALL CAROLYN MCINTYRE. THE
FLOOR IS YOURS AND YOU HAVE
THREE MINUTES. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN I CAROLINE MCINTYRE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA CABLE
AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
ASSOCIATION IN OPPOSITION TO
THE BELL AND FIRST LET ME BE
CLEAR THAT WE ARE NOT OPPOSED
TO SB ELEVEN THIRTY BECAUSE OF
THE TWENTY FIVE THREE AS
AMENDED SPEED REQUIREMENTS AB
ONE OF THE SUPPORTING WITNESSES
POINTED OUT ALL OF OUR NETWORK.
EITHER MEET OR OPEN FAR EXCEED
THOSE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS
BILL IS THAT IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN THE CALIFORNIA
ADVANCED EVERYTHING'S FINE HAD
EIGHT REMAKE PURSUANT TO
LEGISLATION THREE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS WERE MADE
AVAILABLE. FOR DEPLOYING
BROADBAND INTO UNSERVED AREAS I
WILL NOTE THAT THE PROGRAM HAS
BEEN AROUND SINCE TWO THOUSAND
AND EIGHT AND SO THIS IS THE
SECOND POT OF THREE HUNDRED
MILLION. THAT HAVE IN FACT BEEN
MADE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE I
BROADBAND INTERNET WILL AREAS.
PROBLEM WITH THE BILL IS THAT
BY EXPANDING THE ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENT TO INCLUDE AREAS
THAT HAVE BE GREATER THAN SIX
ONE. WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET
TO THE- BROUGHT IN THE AREAS
THAT HAVE NOT. IT IS A
PRIORITIZE THE POWER OF THE
STATE CALIFORNIA TO TRY AND GET
ALL INDIVIDUALS SOME FORM THAT
CAN ACTIVITY BEFORE EXPANDING
THE PROGRAM TO ALLOW FOR
FUNDING AND AFTER AREA. THE CBC
RECENTLY RECIEVED FIFTY TWO
APPLICATIONS FOR THEIR
CALIFORNIA SERVICES AND
PROGRAMS. IF ALL OF THOSE
PROGRAMS THAT WERE TO BE HANDED
OUT ALL. THE APPLICATIONS WERE
TO BE FUNDED. EIGHT FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS TO DO
SOUTH THAT PROGRAM IS A-
CURRENTLY ONLY HAS THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS THIS
BILL OFFERS NO NEW SPENDING. SO
IT WOULD AGAIN REQUIRED THE
STATE TO. ATTEMPT PRIORITIZE
WHAT PROGRAMS NOW MEANING A
LARGER AREA WITHIN TWENTY FIVE
AND THREE THERE AGAIN I'M
LEAVING THE AREAS THAT HAVE NO
BROADBAND ACCESS AT ALL. SO A
NUMBER MANY PROVISION IN THE
BILL THAT WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR
THE SPENDING AND MIDDLE MILE
AND PORTIONS OF THE NETWORK
UNDER CURRENT LAN. MALE MALE
CAN ONLY BE OFFENDED IF IN FACT
IT IS CAN PROVIDE SOME LAST
MILE RESIDENTIAL CAN ACTIVITY.
HE ENDED HERE A LOT OF THE CPC
TO PROVIDE LOANS TO INDIVIDUALS
THAT CAN NOT PAID UPGRADE THEIR
OWN NETWORK WHICH I WOULD
SUGGEST WOULD CALL INTO
QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THEY
CAN AFFORD TO OPERATE A
NETWORK. SO THIS BILL HAD MANY
PROBLEMS WITH THAT AND IN ITS
EFFORT TO FUTURE PROOF. WOODS
NEED TO BE CONSIDERED ANYMORE
COMPREHENSIVE FRAMEWORK BUT THE
PRIMARY. PROBLEM HERE IS THE
FACT THAT KNOWS RULE
COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO BE LEFT
BEHIND EVEN THOUGH THE BILL
THAT AND MANDATE TO SAY THAT
CONTINUE TO BE A PRIORITY THEY
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A PRIORITY
SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT
AND WE ARE NO CLOSER TO GETTING
THEM FOR CAN ACTIVITIES AND WE
WERE IN THIS PROGRAM BEGAN. LOS
RECENTLY OPPOSE ABOUT. HER
THANK YOU ENTIRE IS THERE.
ANYONE IN THE GALLERY WISHING

OTHER THANK YOU VERY GOOD THANK
YOU MODERATOR APPRECIATE THAT
VERY MUCH WHEN I BRING IT BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE. TIONS YES THE
SENATOR CHECK. THANK YOU MISTER-CHAIR OF THE GOALS OF THIS BILL
ARE TRULY COMMENDABLE OF
ALTHOUGH I'VE HAD CONCERNS
SIMILAR TO THOSE RAISED BY. THE
OPPOSITION. AXIS IS SUFFICIENT
ROBIN IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT
TODAY WHERE STUDENTS ARE.
EDUCATED THROUGH DISTANCE
LEARNING AND WORK IS BEING DONE
WITH VIDEO CONFERENCING LIKE
ZOOM AND I'M SURE WE'VE ALL
DONE ON A MILLION OF THOSE.
BECAUSE I'M VERY GLAD THAT
YOU'LL BE ACCEPTING THE
RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS AND FOR
THE RATE THAT REASON I WILL BE
SUPPORTING TODAY- I DO HOPE
THAT YOU CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE OPPOSITION TO ADDRESS ANY
ISSUES THEY- MAY STILL HAVE
MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR CHANGE
SENATOR DOLLY. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS I. FIRST WANT
TO SAY I HAVE THE- A LOT OF
RESPECT FOR THE AUTHOR SHE- DID
HER WORK SHE CALLED IN. AND
TALKED TO ME ABOUT HER BILL AND
I KNOW HAS TAKEN SOME
AMENDMENTS TO. TRY TO MAKE THE
BILL OF MORE- THE POSSIBLE FOR
RULE COMMITTEES BUT I WOULD
JUST LIKE TO. BACK UP AND CHECK
AB EIGHT SIXTEEN SIXTY FIVE WAS
A BILL THAT ACTUALLY THAT TO.
THIS MCINTYRE WAS SPEAKING
ABOUT WHICH WAS I WAS A JOINT
AUTHORED ON THAT BILL WITH THE
EDUARDO GARCIA AND SOME OTHERS
IN IN A COUPLE YEARS BACK IN
THE ASSEMBLY AND THAT WAS AT
THE TIME WHEN THE FUNDS WERE
ACTUALLY GONNA GO AWAY. AND
WITHOUT THAT BILL WE EXTENDED
THE PROGRAM AND ALLOW THOSE
FUNDS TO ACCRUE- SO. AT THE
TIME I WAS A REPRESENTING
ASSEMBLY DISTRICT NUMBER ONE
WHICH WAS TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
SQUARE MILES AND THE REASON YOU
PROBABLY DIDN'T HAVE MANY
PEOPLE CALL ME OPPOSITION IS
BECAUSE THEY STILL DON'T HAVE
INTERNET AND THEY STILL DON'T
HAVE A PHONE SO THEY CAN'T
REALLY GET INVOLVED. GOVERNMENT
AND OUR GOAL WAS. YES POSSIBLE
OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR
CONSTITUENTS IN THOSE AREAS THE
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO GET AT
LEAST SIX UP AND ONE DAY AFTER
ONE ONE SIX AND SO. WE HAVE A
HELL HECK OF A LOT OF-
APPLICANTS THEY'RE IN THE
PROCESS THE FUNDS HAVE BEEN
ACCRUING FOR SOME TIME AND
WORSE JUST STARTING TO SEE THE
PROCESS NOW FOR WE CAN GET.
THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT I HAVE
TRULY BEEN LEFT BEHIND AND I
AND ONE OF THE- TESTIMONIES
THAT WE HELD DURING THE PROCESS
OF AB SIXTY SIXTY FIVE WAS. I
WOULD LIKE TO GO TO ANYWHERE IN
IN A IN A POPULATED DISTRICT
AND I BET YOU I CAN TURN MYSELF
ON ON AND GET BETTER SERVICE
THAN I GET MY HOME RIGHT NOW
TODAY. AND SO. FOR THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE
I KNOW MISTER MCGUIRE
REPRESENTS IS. A TON OF THOSE
COMMUNITIES. MR DOT HAS SOME OF
THOSE AS WELL. IN HIS DISTRICT-
BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LEFT
BEHIND. THE THIS TWENTY FIVE
AND THREE HE- IS GOING TO
DELETE UP THE FUNDS THAT THEY
WILL THEY JUST. THEY'RE THEY'RE
IT'S- EXPENSIVE TO GET OUT OF
THOSE RULERS AND THAT'S WHY WE
EXTENDED THE FUN SO. I WOULD
LIKE TO WAIT A FEW YEARS AND
TRY TO GET. THOSE APPLICATIONS
FUNDED IN THOSE AREAS SO WE CAN
SEE THOSE COMMUNITIES. ACTUALLY
BE ABLE TO GET CONNECTED SO FOR
THOSE REASONS I WILL BE
OPPOSING THE BILL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SENATOR DOLLY OTHER
QUESTIONS YES SENATORS FOR.
THAT THANK YOU MISTER CHAR I
JUST WANTED TO. COMMEND THE
AUTHOR ON HER DILIGENCE ON THIS
MATTER I. YOU KNOW I. OFTEN
THOUGHT THIS WAS. SOLELY A
RURAL ISSUE. THIS CALL. CRISIS
THE BODIES IN OUR AREAS WERE
JUST MAG AND LAID TO BEAR YOU
KNOW WE HAD SOME SOME SOLID
RESPONSES FRANKLY FROM INDUSTRY
AND YEAH I WANT TO PARTICULARLY
MENTIONED SPECTRUM CHARTER WHEN
THEY STEPPED UP WITH LAUSD AND-
STARTED OFFERING THAT'S I THINK
IT'S SIXTY DAYS OF. OF FREE
INTERNET FREE INTERNET AND A
HOOK UP TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN BUT
I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET
THROUGH THIS. CONNECTIVITY
CRISIS WITH THOSE KINDS OF
GESTURES ALONE IN THE VISIONARY
NATURE THIS BILL. TRY DOING
ASSUME CALL ON TEN YOU KNOW TEN
AT SIX DOWN RIGHT TRIED TRY
DOING TRY FINDING SOME WAY TO
TAP INTO YOUR- YOUR CLASSROOM
AND HAVE AN INTERACTIVE VIDEO
CONFERENCE- I GET THE WE GOT TO
START SOMEWHERE AND I WANT TO
START SEEN AS MAKE PROGRESS IN
THOSE EARLY. YEARS BUT- I SEE
THIS AS IT AS MUCH AS A VISION
STATEMENT AS ANYTHING OF WHERE
WE REALLY NEED TO HEAD. AND
THAT HUNDRED TARGETING THAT
FUTURE PROOF. IS FRANKLY THE
ONLY DIRECTION WE CAN HEAD
WITHOUT STRAINING A BUNCH
ASSETS AROUND THE STATE THAT
FRANK THE PEOPLE CAN UTILIZE
IF. IF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GONNA
LEARN IN THIS STRANGE NEW YEAR
SO AT THEAPPROPRIATE TIME I'D
LOVE TO BE ADDED ON AS A CO
AUTHOR. AND HELP IN THIS EFFORT.
SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE WORK
FROM CENTER OF FROM CENTER TO
THE NORTH AS WELL AS- A SIMILAR
GARCIA THIS EFFORT BUT- NOW'S
NOT THE TIME TO LET UP I
FRANKLY THINK WE NEED TO DOUBLE
DOWN. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU
FOR THE COMMON SENATOR STERN
AND A SENATOR WIENER. THANK
YOU. MISTER CHAIR ACTING CHAIR.
OUR SUPPORT HI THIS BILL I WAS
PROUD TO SUPPORT IT WITHOUT THE
AMENDMENTS AS WELL- AND I WANT
TO REITERATE WHAT CENTER STERN-
I SAID THAT COOLEY I'M VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF MAKING SURE WE
CLOSE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IN OUR
RURAL AREAS IT'S INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT HAS MAJOR. EQUITY
ECONOMIC HEALTH PUBLIC SAFETY.
RAMIFICATIONS BUT I THINK
SOMETIMES THERE IS A-
PERCEPTION THAT WELL IF YOU'RE
IN A CITY OR TESTIFYING AND WE
KNOW THAT IN OUR CITIES WHETHER
IT'S- SAN FRANCISCO. OR LA SAN
FRANCISCO IS PERCEIVED AS A
VERY WEALTHY CITY WE HAVE
SIGNIFICANT POVERTY IN OUR
CITY. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
REALLY STRUGGLE. WITH DIGITAL
ACCESS SO IT IS. IT IS A HUGE
WORLD ISSUE BUT IS A HUGE URBAN
ISSUE AS WELL- AND BECAUSE OF
THE TO SEARCH YOUR NUMBER OF
PEOPLE LIVING. IN POVERTY IN
OUR CITIES THAT AFFECTS AN
ENORMOUS NUMBER OF PEOPLE- AND
HAS LIFELONG RAMIFICATIONS ARE
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE TO BE ABLE
TO GET THAT ACCESS EARLY- AND
CONSISTENTLY BUT I DO SUPPORT
THIS BILL. SENATOR WIENER
SENATOR MORE UP SURE- MAYBE I'M
A LITTLE OLD FASHIONED BUT WHEN
I WAS YOUNGER I WAS INVOLVED
WITH THE SUMMER CAMP AND IT'S
A- ON THE WAY TO. BIG BEAR LAKE
ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT ROADS TO
GO UP TO. BIG BEAR LAKE IN THIS
WAS HIGHWAY THIRTY EIGHT OUT OF
MEN TONE. AND WE HAD NO
ELECTRICITY THERE WASN'T A LINE
THAT CAME ALL THE WAY FOR ALL
THOSE SUMMER CAMPS IN HOMES-
WOULD HAVE TO GENERATE THEIR
OWN ELECTRICITY. IT WAS SO WE
DID THAT FOR THE LONGEST TIME
BUT NEVER THOUGHT THAT OUR
NEIGHBORS SHOULD ALL. CHIP IN
AND SUBSIDIZE UP ONLINE. IT
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON TO
OUR FRONT GATE AND THEN HAVE US
ENJOY ELECTRICITY LIKE EVERYONE
ELSE. SO I'M KIND OF LOOKING AT
THIS BILL IN AND FROM THAT
PERSPECTIVE YOU KNOW YOU'VE GOT
AN INDUSTRY THAT. PROVIDES
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND WORKS
FOR YEARS TO GET EVERYONE TO
PARTICIPATE AND NOW THERE ARE
SOME THAT. AREN'T ONLINE FOR
WHATEVER PARTICULAR REASON AND
NOW THERE'S SOME KIND OF
ENTITLEMENT. WHERE ALL OF A
SUDDEN ALL THOSE THAT ARE USING
THE SERVICE NOW HAVE TO
SUBSIDIZE THE ABILITY FOR
OTHERS. TO GET IT SO IT'S SORT
OF MORPHED INTO SOMETHING ELSE
SO I. I'M HAVING A LITTLE
DIFFICULTY WITH WITH THAT IDEA
THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYONE.
HAS TO SUPPORT FOR THOSE THAT
DIDN'T BECAUSE THEY WERE THERE
FIRST. AND IN AND OUT UNLESS
I'M MISSING SOMETHING I'M JUST
HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH
THAT CONCEPT SO JUST NOT A
QUESTION JUSTIFIED IT MAYBE THE
AUTHOR COULD. HELP ME IN HER
CLOSING REMARKS THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND- ACTION RIGHT
FOR. THANK YOU AND I TO WANT TO
COMMEND AUTHOR FOR HER EFFORTS
IN THIS AREA BUT- HI TO HAPPEN
CHALLENGES WITH THIS AS STATED.
A FEW YEARS AGO I DID A BILL
ARE IN REGARDS TO TRYING TO.
BRIDGE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND
OUR PUBLIC HOUSING- SECTOR USE
IN CA S. OFF AND ON I'M- I
THINK IT BEST THERE'S MIXED
REVIEWS ON THE SUCCESS OF THAT
PROGRAM AND THAT'S WERE MY
GREATEST CONCERN IS NOT AND-
TARGETING THOSE AREAS BUT
MAKING URE THOSE DOLLARS ARE
USED EFFECTIVELY- NOT ALL HOMES
NEED FIBER BUT THEY ALL DESERVE
MORE THAN DSL FOR SURE. AND IN
AREAS SUCH AS- ARE SENATOR FROM
ON THE FIRSTDISTRICT I MEAN
THEY NEED. CONNECTIVITY BASIC
CONNECTIVITY SERVICE AND- BUT
THE LACK OF DIGITAL SERVICES
NOT JUST A REAL ISSUE IT'S A
URBAN ISSUE AS WELL AS I STATED
AS- WE TRY TO ADDRESS AND MUCH
OF OUR- PUBLIC HOUSING HERE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS WE
ALL KNOW- THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
IS. BASED ON TWO FACTORS ACCESS
AND AFFORDABILITY SO. I WOULD
HOLD. WE WOULD FOCUS OUR
CHALLENGES ON THERE I'M GOING
TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY BUT I
AM REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT- WE HAVE THE MOST
EFFECTIVE USE OF THESE FUNDS
GOING FORWARD AND MAKING SURE
THAT WE REALLY DRAW DOWN AND-
REACH TO COMMUNITIES THAT. NEED
TO SERVICE FIRST IS EXPANING
THAT WHICH IS ALREADY THERE SO-
INCREASING SPEED FOR AGAIN
COMMUNITIES AT OUR HOUSE
SERVICE SO I. REPORTED TODAY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR
BRADFORD SENATOR RUBIO. THANK

DIFFERENT CONCERNS AND
DIFFERENT SITES OF BUT I ONE
THING I AM CONFIDENT IS AT THE

VERY BEST THAT IT CAN BE BUT I
ALSO WANNA TRY TO PICK A TOWN-
ON NOT SENATOR WIENERS COMMENT

RICHER AREAS THAT SOMEHOW
EVERYONE'S COVERED BUT YOU KNOW
WHAT NINETEEN- AS AN EDUCATOR I
CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW THE CLUB
IN NINETEEN HAS HIGHLIGHTED
EMAIL SUCH A DEFICIENCY IN
TERMS OF ACCESS TO PORT.
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND I
COMMEND THE AUTHOR BUT I KNOW
THAT AGAIN I HAVE FULL
CONFIDENCE THAT SHOULD CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH EVERYONE TO ENSURE
THAT THIS IS THAT SHE MOVES

I'M TAKING A INTO AND WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ALL OF
THE MEMBERS OF THAT WANT TO
WORK WITH US AND SURE WE GET
THIS AS WELL AS STAKEHOLDERS
WHAT I SAY. IS THIS BILL. THREE
IS ACTUALLY THE FCC THRESHOLD.
AND BENCHMARK SO WE'RE ACTUALLY
BEHIND THE FEDERAL BENCH MARK
AS IT STANDS NOW. AND IT'S JUST
NOT SUFFICIENT WE KNOW OF
COURSE AS MANY OF YOU ALLUDED
TO THAT. ALL OF US AROUND ZOOM
IS FOUR FIVE KIDS IN THE
HOUSEHOLD. TWENTY FIVE THREE IS
ACTUALLY THE BARE MINIMUM WE
SHOULD BE ACTUALLY. HAVING ONE
HUNDRED ONE HUNDRED. BUT THAT'S
YOU KNOW CERTAINLY FOR LATER
CONVERSATION AND THIS IS WHAT.
THE AMENDMENTS DO THEY PROVIDE
A GOAL FOR ONE HUNDRED ONE
HUNDRED. BUT REALLY SET THE
STANDARD AND BENCHMARK AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL TWENTY FIVE
THREE. THE OPEN ACCESS PRATT
PROGRAM IS ALSO VERY ESSENTIAL
BECAUSETHIS ALLOWS FOR
COMPETITION FOR SMALLER- I. S.
P.'S. TO LOWER BARRIERS OF
ENTRY FOR LOWER ISPS.
ULTIMATELY TO LOWER THE COST
FOR SUBSCRIBERS WERE OUR
CONSTITUENTS. THAT DESERVE
LOWER COST ESPECIALLY IN THIS
DAY AND AGE. LASTLY THE PLOW OF
FOR BETTER AND- FOR ALL. AS
MANY AS OF MY COLLEAGUES
MENTIONED PLACES LIKE SOUTH LOS
ANGELES THAT BOTH SENATOR
BRAFORD AND I REPRESENT. ARE
ACTUALLYOFF THE GRID A LOT OF
PEOPLE THINK THAT THERE'S
ACCESS TO THE INTERNET. IS NO
IT. IN A- TO VERY HIGH COST.
YOU SEE THE- MAX THAT. YOU ALL

PIECE OF WHAT WE HOPE TO BE A
MORE COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO
OUR P. S. P. S. CHALLENGE IN A
STATE WHICH FRANKLY IS NOT
GOING AWAY WILDFIRE SEASON IS
ALREADY UPON US THE OVERALL
COST THE ECONOMY THUS FAR IS
ESTIMATED BY ONE STANFORD
ANALYSIS- TO BE ABOUT TEN
BILLION DOLLARS. AND SO WE'RE
LOOKING AT THE PIKE AT ANOTHER
SEE OF COMPARABLE SCOPE AT THE
IDEA OF THIS BILL IS TO
CONTINUE TO MAKE THE PROGRESS
THAT BEGAN WITH SB THIRTEEN
THIRTY NINE WITH. WHICH THE CPC
HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTING
DILIGENTLY AND TRYING TO GET
SOME PROGRESS MADE BEFORE THIS
WILDFIRE SEASON UNFORTUNATELY
WE DON'T THINK. THAT OR ARE
GENERATE AND CENTER PRO. WILL
HAVE. IN OUT. TO OUR- TO REALLY
GET THIS THEM THROUGH THIS NEXT
ROUND OF CRISES SAFELY- WE'RE
TRYING TO. BRING ALL
STAKEHOLDERS TOGETHER AND I DO
APPRECIATE THE INPUT NOT JUST
OF THE THIRD PARTIES- BUT OF
THE UTILITIES WHO I THINK OF A
CRITICAL ROLE TO PLAY IN- IN
OUR MAKER AGREED. AND SELF
GENERATION SYSTEM LABOR- OUR
REPAIR ADVOCATES ARE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS OF THOSE WHO
OPERATOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
FACILITIES AND OTHER KEY STAKE
HOLDERS SO- I THINK THE MAN.
THIS BILL DOWN REALLY TO ITS
ESSENCE WHICH IS SOME WAY TO.
YOU WE'RE BE DEPLOYED PUTTING
OUT THAT OF SOLAR DE SYSTEMS
AROUND THE STATE FOR A IN THERE
TO SITTING THERE BEHIND METERED
NOT YOU TO ANY ELSE IN THE THIS
GRAY WE THINK THAT ASSET COULD
BE WASTED LIKEWISE WITH MICHAEL
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT AS
BROAD BENEFIT IF THE REPAIRS
ARE ACTUALLY GONNA BE FUNDING
THIS ACTUALLY THINK THERE IS A
ROLE FOR NON REPAIR FUNDING AS
WELL- BUT OF WITHIN THE SCOPE
OF THIS BILL OF WITH JUST A PRE
MOVING THE COMP. FORD AND
HOPEFUL GETTING SOME URGENT
ACTION DONE NOT ENOUGH HAS BEEN
CONSTRUCTED SO FAR NOT ENOUGH

ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
COMMITTEES AND THEN IT'S NOTED
IN THE ANALYSIS TODAY MISTER
CHAIR HOUSE ONE TAKE AMONG THE
STATE THANK YOU TO SENATOR
STERN FIRST PARTNERSHIP ON THIS
BILL IS A JOINT AUTHORED. SB
THIRTEEN TWELVE TAKES CRUCIAL
STEPS CRUCIAL STEPS TO ENSURE
THE UTILITY POWER SHUT OFF
EVENTS HAVE SMALLER FOOTPRINTS
THIS YEAR SHORTER DURATIONS AND
PROPER OVERSIGHT IN DOING SO IT
REQUIRES INVESTOR OWNED
UTILITIES PART TO PRIORITIZE
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AS
WELL AS A POLL THE BELIEF THAT
CALIFORNIANS SHOULD HAVE THE
RIGHT TO RELIABLE ELECTRICAL
SERVICE IN THIS DAY AND AGE BY
THE WAY WERE IN TWENTY TWENTY.
LAST YEAR BROUGHT AN
UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF POWER
SHUT OFF OF IN SPITE UTILITIES
ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE P.
JEANNIE SERVICE TERRITORY
CUTTING CALIFORNIANS TO WONDER
IF THE NEW NORMAL BE A LACK OF
POWER FOR DAYS OR EVEN WEEKS ON
END. GAINING IN SEPTEMBER OVER
TWO MILLION RESIDENTS LOST
POWER ACROSS FORTY COUNTIES
SHUT OFF A VINCE OCCURRED WITH
SUCH FREQUENCY THAT THEY BLED
INTO EACH OTHER AS THE INTERNET
I WOULD. MEAN RESIDENTS WITHOUT
POWER OF FORTY DAYS IN A THIRTY
DAY. ITALY P. JEANNIE IN
PARTICULAR MUST DO BETTER.
CURRENTLY THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION REQUIRES-
UTILITIES TO FILL OUT REPORTS
AFTER POWER SHUT OFF OF THESE.
THESE REPORTS HOWEVER OFTEN
LACKEY INFORMATION IMPROPER
REVIEW. ADDED THE DOZENS OF
REPORTS FILED LAST FALL THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
DIDN'T DO THREE HEARINGS NOT TO.
THEY ONLY DID ONE OFFICIAL
REVIEW ANY HEARING. THIS IS
SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR
CALIFORNIANS OUR STATE LACKS A
FORMAL PROCESS FOR FUTURE
REVIEWS OF SHUT OFF EVENTS IN
CLEARLY THE LEVEL REVIEW
WITHOUT ONE HAS BEEN
INSUFFICIENT AT BEST. SB
THIRTEEN TWELVE PROVIDES THE
NECESSARY FRAMEWORK TO DECREASE
THE FREQUENCY OF POWER SHUT OFF
OF INS AND ALTERNATELY
ULTIMATELY ELIMINATE THEIR USE
BY REQUIRING INVESTOR OWNED
UTILITIES YOU TAKE BOTH SHORT
AND LONG TERM STEPS TO HARDEN
THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE. AS WELL
AS MODERNIZE IS WELL. SO HERE'S
WHAT IT DOES NUMBER ONE IT
AUTHORIZES THE CALIFORNIA
OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES
CALIFORNIA AND THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSIONTO CREATE
CONSISTENT PROCEDURES FOR POWER
SHUT OFF OVENS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF CALIFORNIANS.
HERE'S WHAT THIS MEANS ALL
THREE OF THESE AGENCIES ARE
WORKING TOGETHER ON WHAT THE
NEED NOW IT MAKES SOME COME
TOGETHER IN COLLABORATION WHEN
IT COMES TO THE TYPE OF
NOTIFICATION IS A NEED. WHEN
THE- HOW ALL DO UTILITY
REPAIRALE. WHAT FOOT PRINT IS
GOING TO BE INSURING THAT ALL
THE AGENCIES THAT ARE INTACT.
BY THESE UTILITIES. INDIGO
RIGHT IS REQUIRED COLLABORATE.
NUMBER EVERY WHAT I TO IDENTIFY
POWER LINES ARE MORE LIKELY TO
CAUSE POWER SHUT OFF A VINCE OR
WILDFIRES IT PROHIBITS THE IOUS
FROM CHARGING CALIFORNIA. OR
ELECTRICITY NOT BY THE- IN A-
WHEN THE POWER IS CUT REQUIRE
SIDE USED TO INCLUDE DETAIL
ABOUT THE LAW. AT CAR THE
POWERSHOT OFF OF THE THIS IS.
IN THERE AFTER EVENT REPORTS
HOW MANY MILES A LINE WERE
IMPACTED OR HOW MANY CIRCUITS
ARE IMPACTED IT WOULD REQUIRE
THAT INFORMATION DOWN THE
DETAIL AND THAT IS NOT
CURRENTLY REQUIRED. THIS WILL
ALLOW STATE AGENCY TO TRULY CAN
IT WHERE THE PROBLEMS ARE
WITHIN THE GREAT INDEED SELECT
AT ABOUT A FIX IT PLAN. IT ALSO
REQUIRES. THE WHOLE HERE. TO
WHETHER A POWER CHARLOTTE IN IS
IN COURT. WITH STANDARD. IN
AUTHORIZED TO LEVY FINES IF
NEEDED AFTER EVERY POWER SHUT
OFF. AFTER EVERYONE OF THEM. IF
CALIFORNIANS ARE GOING TO BE IN
PAIN. AND SURE ENOUGH THE
REGULATOR SHOULD BE IN PAIN
LISTENING TO WHAT THE
CHALLENGES ARE OF CALIFORNIANS
ON A DAILY BASIS. IT ALSO
REQUIRES A USER HARDEN THEIR
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CAUSES THE
POWERSHOT OF A VENN. REPORT
BACK TO THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION ON AGGRESSIVE ONE
AFTER THE SHUT OFF OF. RIGHT
NOW UTILITIES ARE BEHIND BEHIND
YEARS IN THERE HER NAME AND
EDUCATION MANAGEMENT ESPECIALLY
WITHIN THE- PACIFIC GAS AND
ELECTRIC- TERM. LASTLY THIS
BILL WILL NOT BY THE EXISTING
UNDERGROUND INSTAGRAM AT THE
UTILITY COMMISSION. THE PULL
OUT IS IN HIGH RISK FOR HIS.
IT'S RIGHT. WHILE YOUR FEET THE
BILL IS SUPPORTED BY THE STATE
FIRST THE FIRE CHIEF SALINAS IT
CAN'T THE AND SO SHE
ASSOCIATION AND THE REASON
BEING EACH ONE OF THESE
AGENCIES EACH ONE OF THESE
AGENCIES HAVE TO RESPOND
ESPECIALLY IN THE P. JEANNIE TO
SPUR SURGERY AS THE EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR PACIFIC
GAS ELECTRIC WE'VE BEEN WORKING
CLOSELY WITH THE ARE YOU USING
FOR CO WORKERS ON THE- BUDGET
AND THEY'LL- WE WANT TO SAY
THANK. BUSINESS HERE ENGAGE.

CRITICAL AND IT MADE SENSE. AND
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WITH
ALL STAKEHOLDERS TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS ARE BILL. OUR GOAL
IT'S NEVER TO THROW THE
EXISTING C. P. C. PROCESS OUT.
BUT THE BILL IN AREAS WHERE WE
START GAP LAST FALL IN IN THE
CURRENT PROCEEDINGS. SB
THIRTEEN TWELVE PROVIDES A
FRAMEWORK TO ENSURE THAT SHUT
OFF OF VINCE BECOME THE TOOL OF
LAST RESORT. AND NOT THE
DEFAULT STRATEGY. BUYERS NOW
HERE WE CAN ANTICIPATE A NUMBER
OF POWER SHUT OFF THE VINCE AND
IT'S GONNA BE SOON. THE FATE AS

AUTHOR FOR WORKING WITH US. A
AND- MOST RECENT AMENDMENTS ARE
OPPOSITION IS RIDLEY DOWN TO
ONE. BUT VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE
WHICH HAS TO DO WITH CREATING
AN ENTIRELY NEW METRIC OF

DIVISION CHARTER. WITH PERCY
THE PROGRESS IN THE PLANNING
OF. PARDON THIS IS THE OF THE-
INFRASTRUCTURE. WE CREATED A
WHAT ARE SIX. MORE TO BY FIRST
PROGRESS OF THAT TYPE OF WAR.
WE ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE WE
THINK THAT THE ARBITRARY TIME
FRAMES PLACED ON THIS VERY
COMPLEX AND DANGEROUS WORK IS
GOING TO ENDANGER THE LIVES OF
OUR MEMBERS BY FORCING
CONTRACTORS UNDER PRESSURE FROM
THE UTILITIES TO WORK TO GET
THINGS DONE FASTER THAN IN AND
WITH WITH OUT. FALLING ALL THE
SAFETY MEASURES THE SERVER
SECTOR. MEMBERS OF THE NEW IS
TO OCCUPATION SAFETY AND HEALTH
UTILITY LINE WORK IS ONE OF THE
DEADLIEST PROFESSIONS WITH
FIFTY SIX POINT THREE DEATHS.
FOR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
WORKERS. TO PUT THAT IN
PERSPECTIVE KOBE NINETEEN IN
THE U. S. AS OF TODAY HAS A
DEATH RATE OF NINE POINT THREE
PER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
POPULATION. WE DON'T NEED
ANOTHER METRIC FOR HARDENING
AND WE DON'T NEED TO CREATE
ARBITRARY TIME FRAMES THAT
FORCE DANGEROUS WORK TO BE
DONE. WITHOUT AN EYE TOWARD
SAFETY SO- OUR POSITION IS

ON THIS EFFORT BUT- I AM REALLY
TORN HERE BECAUSE- PUBLIC
SAFETY IS A PRIORITY OF EACH
AND EVERYONE OF US ARE HERE AND
IN THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY AS
WELL AS TO UTILITIES TO
RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING
SERVICES. BUT IT TOO NOW BURDEN
THE UTILITY. WITH ACTION YOUR
BARRIERS AND- REQUIREMENTS WHEN
IT WAS THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY
TWO YEARS AGO. THE U. S. B.
NINE OH ONE THAT REQUIRED HER
TO UTILITIES TO DO NOW WHAT
THEY'RE BEING CRITICIZED FOR
DOING. WE ASK OUR SHUT OFFS WE
ASKED FOR POWER SHOT UPS TO THE
DEGREE THAT THEY HAVE NOW TRULY
I THINK OUR FOCUS SHOULD HAVE
BEEN ON INFRASTRUCTURE REPAIR
AND VEGETATION MANAGEMENT BUT
WE ASKED TO FOCUS ON POWER SHUT
OFFS AND NOT TO UTILITIES HAVE
DONE. AND NOW TO NOW LIES DOWN
FOR DOING WHAT WE ASK THEM TO
DO NOT A SINGLE I OWE YOU OR-
PUBLICLY OWNED YOU TO. US FOR
THIS MEASURE BECAUSE HAVE BEEN
TURNING OFF POWER FOR DECADES
UNDER MY SISTER WAY SINCE WE
REPAIR WORK AND THEY HAVE. DONE
A BENSON. UNTIL IT BASS IN YOU.
FIRES ARE FAR DIFFERENT THAN
REGULAR INTEREST REPAIR BUT
NONE THE LESS I THINK THEY'VE
DONE THE BEST THEY COULD DO
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN
WHICH THEY WERE DIRECTED BY
THIS LEGISLATIVE. BODY IT ALSO
STATES THAT REPAIR SHOULD NOT
BE BURDENED WITH THE COST
DURING POWER SHUT OFF AT NO
TIME WAS I AWARE THAT A UTILITY
EVER CHARGES YOU IF YOUR METER
IS IT TURNED IF YOU'RE- AN
ELECTRON. YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR
THAT ELECTRIC BUT DIDN'T GO
ACROSS TO OUR INTO YOUR HOME OR
YOUR BUSINESS. YOU PAY FOR BACK
CAN. SERVICE SECTOR. COST BUT
THAT OUTLOOK TRON ITSELF YOU
DON'T PAY FOR IT WAS A THE- NOW
TO TALK ABOUT. ANY I'M A BIG
PROPONENT OF RULE TWENTY I WORK
FOR UTILITY AND I ADVOCATED
STRONGLY FOR RULE TWENTY FOUR
WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THERE'S A
RULE TWENTY EIGHT ZERO TWENTY
BEES. WROTE TWENTY SEATS. IF
YOU ARE A- GROUNDING HUNDREDS
OF MILES OF. TRANSMISSION WIRES
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY OR ON STATE
OR FEDERAL PROPERTY. THE
PROPERTY IN WHICH IS BEING
UNDERGROUND THEY PAY FOR NOT
RATE PAYERS SO WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THERE'S NO FREE RIDE
HERE'S SO EITHER THE LITTLE AN
OWNER HAS TO BEAR THOSE COSTS
OF UNDERGROUND AND UTILITY
SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO DO THAT.
AND WE TALK ABOUT SERVICE
RELIABILITY EVERY TIME YOU DO
UNDERGROUND FACILITY THAT THE
LADIES ROOM HERE'S WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND THAT ADDS A LONGER
DURATION OF THE OUTRAGE FROM
UNDERGROUND VERSE WERE HAD
FACILITIES SO FOR THOSE REASONS
I'M I'M I'M JUST. DâN I BRING
MY HOPE TO SUPPORT IT I
UNDERSTOOD AND INTENTIONS OF
THE- AUTHOR AND I KNOW. GENUINE
ANNE'S COULD BY. IT'S HARD FOR
ME TO GET TO YES WHAT WHAT IS
BEFORE ME TODAY SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR BRADFORD
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
SENATOR PAN AND THEN WE'LL ASK
A SENATOR MARK. MCGWIRE TO
RESPOND AND CLOSE. SENATE PAN.
THANK YOU OF ACTUALLY I WOULD.
APPRECIATE IF CENTER REQUIRED
COULD DRESS PARTICULARLY THE
CONCERNS OF THE COALITION
CALIFORNIA TO THE EMPLOYEES-
DAY EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT-
US THEIR WORK IS VERY DANGEROUS
SO APPRECIATE. THAT AT. MY
SISTER REQUIRED THIS IS THE
DEEPER DESPAIR PROPER TIME FOR
HIM TO RESPOND. THANK YOU
SENATOR PAN- SENATOR REQUIRE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND IN
CLOSE. THANK YOU SO MUCH AS THE
CHAIR THANK YOU CENTER PANTS
AND A RED. I DON'T THINK THAT
ANYONE OF US TODAY. WHO LIVES
IN IS P. JEANNIE SERVICE
SURGERY. WOULD RAISE THEIR HAND
AND SAID. THEY DID A HELL OF A
JOB. LAST YEAR. WE CAN'T DEFEND.
UTILITY CAN'T DEFEND. WE'RE
HERE TODAY WE'RE HERE TODAY AND
WE'RE ABOUT TO GO INTO OUR NEXT
POWER SHUT OFF SEASON BECAUSE
IN PARTICULAR WITH P. JEANNIE
THE LACK OF INVECTIVE
INVESTMENT IN MISMANAGEMENT
WHEN IT COMES TO LACK OF
INVESTMENT GRADE HARDENING.
SEXUAL LIES ATION VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT AND MODERNIZATION
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. IF YOU
GO IN TALK WITH THEIR TOP
EXECUTIVES. THEY'RE GONNA SAY
ESPECIALLY IN THE VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT AND ON THE
MODERNIZATION THEY'RE BEHIND
THIS YEAR. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
THE ALTERNATIVE THAT WE'RE
GONNA SAY TO NORTHERN
CALIFORNIANS. HE GOT TEN YEARS
OF THIS. TEN YEARS. IT'S
UNACCEPTABLE SO WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IT EXPEDITES RIGHTFULLY SO
IT EXPEDITES THE GRID HARDENING
THE MODERNIZATION THE SECTION
LIES ATION AS WELL AS THE
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT. END
LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FIFTEEN
PERSONAL LINES. THIS STATE
ISN'T TELLING THE UTILITIES
WHICH ALIGNS THEY HAVE TO TAKE
UTILITIES WORK WITH THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION IT'S IN
THE BILL THE WORK WITH THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION ON
WHICH LINES THEY'RE GOING TO
FOCUS ON EMPIRE TICE BASED OFF
OF WHERE THOSE POWER SHUT OFF
TO WAR. THERE IS NO LANGUAGE IN
THIS BILL THAT FORCE IS
UTILITIES TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS
ON ONE SPECIFIC LINE IT'S TEN
PERCENT. AND ITS FOCUS OVER
FIVE YEARS WE CUT THE TIMELINE
IN FIVE YEARS IF I'M A
CALIFORNIAN I THINK THAT'S-
THREE YEARS TOO LONG. BECAUSE
IT ENDED OR P. JEANNIE AND
AUNTS ARE SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY
ABOUT P. JEANNIE HAS SAID IS
THEY'RE GONNA CUT THEIR FOOT
PRINT THIS YEAR BY 30% 30% IT'S
NOT GONNA HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED
SO TALKING ABOUT NINE OH ONE
THIS LEGISLATURE 100% GAVE
UTILITIES RIGHTFULLY SO THE
AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO TURN
OFF THE POWER IN HIGH FIRE RISK
PART OF THE SEASON. IT'S NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE THEIR PRIMARY
TO. THE REASON WHY P. GENIE IS
HAD TO USE IT AS A BLUNT
INSTRUMENT IS BECAUSE THEY
HAVEN'T KEPT UP WITH THE
MODERNIZATION THE GREAT
HARDENING ERIN AND OR THE
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT THEY HAVE
NO OTHER TOOL TO BE ABLE TO
USE. THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE.
AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE ISSUE
OF. HOW WE'RE HERE IF YOU SEE
ALSO HAS TO TAKE SOME
RESPONSIBILITY THE LACK OF
SUPERVISION BY THE PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION HOLDING
THEM ACCOUNTABLE THAT'S ANOTHER
REASON WHY WE'RE HERE. AND IT'S
JUST BE CANDID CLIMATE CHANGE
NOW AS EXASPERATED THIS
PROBLEM. BACK IN 20001215% OF
P. GENIES LINES WERE IN A HIGH
FIRE RISK ZONE TO DAY TO DAY IT
IS HALF. SO WHAT I THINK WE
NEED TO DO TODAY IS TELL THOSE
FOLKS WHO WE WORK FOR. AVERAGE
CALIFORNIANS WORKING JOES THAT
WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THIS
UTILITY ACCOUNTABLE. I FIRMLY
BELIEVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO
NEED TO MAKE SOME ADDITIONAL
MINUTES AND YOU KNOW ME I WILL
WORK WITH ANYONE AND EVERYONE
WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN SIGNIFICANT
AMENDMENTS. AND I PROMISE YOU
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK
ON THIS BILL BUT I GOTTA TELL
YA I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYONE
IN THIS LEGISLATURE RIGHT NOW
THAT WILL STAND UP AND DEFEND.
TEACHING THESE ACTIONS WE HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HOLD THEM
ACCOUNTABLE IN WORK WITH THE
UTILITY- BOTH THE ELECTRICAL
WORKERS IN A CORPORATION TO
KEEP PEOPLE SAFE WE ALL WANT TO
ACT WE CAN DO IT IN HALF THE
TIME IN THE CASE. THAT THIS
UTILITY IS. WE ASK. THANK YOU

MOTION FOR SENATOR STERN-
