YOU'RE HERE TO PRESENT AB SIX
FIVE TWO AND YOU MAY PROCEED
WHEN READY THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I WANT TO
FIRST THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF
FOR THIS FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS
BILL I WILL ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS ON PAGE
NINE OF THE ANALYSIS. SB SIX
FIFTY TWO WOULD PROHIBIT THE
INCLUSION OF P. FAST CHEMICALS
AND A WIDE RANGE OF JUVENILE
PRODUCTS. SUCH AS SLEEP MATS
NURSING PILLOWS CAR SEATS AND
CRIBS MATTRESSES. THESE THESE
CHEMICALS ARE OFTEN USED- WITH
THE CLAIM THAT THEY MAKE
PRODUCTS MORE STAIN RESISTANT
ALTHOUGH THAT CLAIM IS FAIRLY
DUBIOUS. AND YOU KNOW AS A MOM
WHEN I BUY A MATTRESS PAD FOR
MY DAUGHTER IN CALIFORNIA OR
ANY PRODUCT THAT'S GONNA BE
TOUCHING MY DAUGHTER'S SKIN AS
A BABY. I ASSUME THAT IT'S
COMPLETELY SAFE AND THAT
ANYTHING THAT'S UNNECESSARY
THAT HAS ANY CHANCE OF CAUSING
HER HARM WOULDN'T BE THERE BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S NOT THE
CASE IN CALIFORNIA. BUT WE KNOW
THAT P. FAST CHEMICALS HAVE
BEEN SHOWN AND PROVEN TO HAVE
AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON HUMAN
HEALTH AND THAT THEY ARE
ABSORBED THROUGH THE SKIN AND
CERTAINLY THROUGH THE MOUTH AND
ANYONE IS NOT A CHILD KNOWS
THAT EVERYTHING GOES IN THEIR
MOUTH- EVENTUALLY. IMPACTS TO
ADULTS ALBUM HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO
INCLUDE LIVER DAMAGE INCREASE
RISK OF THYROID DISEASE AND
DECREASED ANTIBODY RESPONSE TO
VACCINES HEALTH IMPACTS THE
CHILDREN INCLUDE SUPPRESSED
IMMUNE SYSTEMS. IMPAIR KIDNEY
FUNCTION AND DELAYED ONSET OF
MENSTRUATION. A RESEARCH INTO
THE STUDIES INDICATE THAT
HEALTH EFFECTS ARE OCCURRING AT
COMMON EXPOSURE LEVELS IN THE
GENERAL POPULATION AND THESE
CHEMICALS. ARE NOW FOUND TO BE
PRESENT IN HUMAN BLOOD. DID HE
A C. AS THE P. FAST HORRIBLE
HEALTH AND THE NEEDS REMOVE
FROM CERTAIN. SUCH AS CARPET.
HOW MANY JUVENILE PRODUCTS AS
DEFINED BY THE BILL CONTAINED
FEW FAST. WHICH CAN MIGRATE
INTO- CHILDREN THROUGH SKIN
ABSORPTION AND THROOP DUSTS
THAT THAT THAT COULD BE COMING
OFF OF THESE PRODUCTS. AND
THESE CHEMICALS ARE CERTAINLY
NOT ESSENTIAL TO THESE PRODUCTS
AND I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE A
STAIN ON A BED SHEET OR
INCLUDING THAT HAVE A OF
CHEMICAL THAT'S HARMFUL IN MY
DAUGHTER'S BLOOD STREAM AND- I
JUST THINK IF PARENTS IN
CALIFORNIA NEW. ABOUT THESE
CHEMICALS IN THESE PRODUCTS THE
REALLY BE OUTRAGE THAT WE ALLOW
THIS TO HAPPEN IT'S NOT WHAT
THEY EXPECT FROM CALIFORNIA
PRODUCTS. HOW WE WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION AND WE'VE NARROWED
WHAT IS CAN DISCONCERTED UNDER
THE BILL AS A JUVENILE PRODUCT
TO EXCLUDE CHILDREN ELECTRONICS
MEDICAL DEVICES. AND INTERNAL
COMPONENTS OF CHILDREN'S
PRODUCTS AND ADULT MATTRESSES.
THESE AMENDMENTS REMOVE THE
OPPOSITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL
SLEEP PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION AND
ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION. A RESTRICTION ON
THE SALE OF CERTAIN PRODUCTS
CONTAINING P. FAST IS THE ONLY
WAY TO ENSURE THAT EVERY
CALIFORNIA'S ACCESS. TO
PRODUCTS THAT ARE TRULY SAFE.
AND I DON'T PRESENT A HEALTH
RISK JUST FROM THEIR EXISTENCE
IN THE HOME. AB SIX FIFTY TWO
IS SUPPORTED BY THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP OF
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS CAL CALIFORNIA. SMU
A CALIFORNIA NURSES ASSOCIATION
CLEAN WATER ACTION ORANGE
COUNTY WATER DISTRICT. AND SAN
FRANCISCO DEPARTMENT OF THE
ENVIRONMENT AND MAY I SAY AS
SOMEONE WHO SAT ON A WATER
BOARD FOR FIVE YEARS. HE
FASTENED THE WATER SUPPLY IS AN
EMERGING CONTAMINANT AND A HUGE
CONCERN FOR WATER AGENCIES WHO
KNOW THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE ON
THE HOOK FOR REMOVING THESE-
THIS THE SUBSTANCE OUT OF THE
WATER EVENTUALLY BECAUSE WE'RE
ALL DRINKING THIS EVERY SINGLE
DAY. THIS IS THE LOW HANGING
FRUIT WHEN IT COMES TO REMOVING
P. FAST CONTAMINATION. THAT IS
EXPOSING OUR MOST VULNERABLE
MEMBERS. I APPRECIATE YOUR
THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION AND I
WOULD URGE AN AYE VOTE THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT I
BELIEVE THAT- WE'VE GOT. TO
ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK FIRST FROM A
FROM A WORKING GROUP IN SUPPORT
HI I'M BILL ALLEY- GOVERNMENT
AFFAIRS DIRECTOR IN CALIFORNIA
FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING
GROUP AND WE'RE SPONSORING THE
BILL I WANT TO INTRODUCE FIRST
DAVE ANDREWS PHD OF OUR STAFF
HE'S GOING TO GIVE US A BRIEF-
TESTIMONY ON THE SCIENCE OF P.
FAST AND WHY THE CONCERN. DAVE
THANK YOU AND I HOPE EVERYONE
CAN HEAR ME- THANK YOU JOHN
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR
INTRODUCED IN THAT. THE BILL.
MY NAME'S DAVID ANDERS I HAVE A
PHD IN CHEMISTRY AND I'M A
SENIOR SCIENTIST FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP. I
HAVE PUBLISHED NUMEROUS REPORTS
AND WORKED ON OUR P. THOUGHT
CONTAMINATION THAT. ALSO CO
AUTHORED FIVE PEER REVIEWED
PUBLICATION ON TEACH US THE
CURRENT THAN HELP IT. FIFTY
THOUSAND IN THE NATION AS THE
NATIONAL PUBLIC ENVIRONMENTAL
HEALTH EMERGENCY AND URGENT
ACTION IS NEEDED TO REDUCE AND
ELIMINATE EXPOSURE AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE. RECENT STUDIES
INDICATE THAT HUMANS BOTH
ADULTS AND CHILDREN ARE
SUSCEPTIBLE TO. THE HEART
COMPUBOX EXPOSURE. EXPOSURE
LEVELS COMMON ALREADY IN THE
GENERAL POPULATION ARE
IMPACTING HEALTH. IN CHILDREN
ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE TO
PEOPLE IT'S INTACT ESPECIALLY
TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM INCLUDING
REDUCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
VACCINES. AND HARM DURING
CRITICAL PERIODS OF DEVELOPMENT.
FOR THAT DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC
SUBSTANCES CONTROL SAFER
CONSUMER PRODUCTS PROGRAM HAS
ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT P. FIVE
OUR THREAT TO HELL. THEY HAVE
ALSO DETERMINED THAT P. FIVE
SHOULD BE REGULATED AS AN
ENTIRE CLASS NOT JUST CHEMICAL
BY CHEMICAL THIS REALLY
INCLUDES THE FLOOR POMMEL
MURDERS THE SHORT TERM
REPLACEMENT CHEMICALS AND THERE
ARE HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF
THESE P. FIVE'S COMPOUND. IT IS
BECAUSE OF THE URGENT HEALTH
PRIORITY OF PROTECTING CHILDREN
THAT HE W. AS PROUD TO SPONSOR
EIGHTY SIX FIFTY TWO. THAT'LL
LEMONADE THIS UNNECESSARY AND
POTENTIALLY HARMFUL USE OF
PEOPLE AND CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS.
THESE PRODUCTS LEAD TO EXPOSURE
THROUGH CONTACT WITH THE SKIN
AND INHALATION OF DUST. AND
EITHER CLICK CHEMICAL THE
CULTURE EVER CHEMICAL THEY DO
NOT BREAK APART IN THE
ENVIRONMENT AND THEY CAN BUILD
UP IN PEOPLE. THESE ARE NOT
CHEMICALS THAT BELONG IN OUR
CHILDREN. MANY PEOPLE IT'S
ACCUMULATING BLOOD AND THESE
CHEMICALS ARE DETECTED IN
NEARLY EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN
THE COUNTRY. INCLUDING INTENT.
I'VE SEEN EIGHTY SIX FIFTY TWO
IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN
REDUCING THIS REALLY
UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE. AND WHAT
THE CALIFORNIA IN THE LEAD OF
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY. THANK
YOU CAN I BILL ELLIOTT
ENVIRONMENT WORKING GROUP WILL
BE BRIEF WE WISH THE SAFER
CONSUMER PRODUCTS PROGRAM AT
DTS HE COULD HAVE A LIST AND
BUT AND THEY WILL MAYBE SOME
DAY BUT AS THE LEGISLATURE IS
FINDING OUT THAT PROCESS IS
GOING REALLY REALLY SLOWLY AND
WE LIKE THE STAFF THERE IT'S A
GOOD PROGRAM BUT SOMETIMES THE
LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO STEP IN
WHEN THERE'S A MORE URGENT
PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE AS THERE IS
IN THIS CASE NATIONALLY WE'RE
LOOKING AT TRYING TO HAVE
ESSENTIAL USES ONLY OF THIS
CHEMICAL FOR NOW. AND
NONESSENTIAL USES SUCH AS
CODING A CHILD'S A NURSING
PILLOW OR CAR SEAT ELIMINATED-
I WANT TO SAY THIS IS ONE OF
THE BEST WORKING RELATIONSHIPS
I'VE EVER HAD WITH THE
OPPOSITION WE'VE WAITED THROUGH
A LOT OF TOUGH ISSUES WE'RE
DOWN TO SOME TECHNICAL LANGUAGE
ON THE DEFINITION IN THE
THRESHOLD THAT I THINK WE'RE
GOING TO COME TO AGREEMENT ON
REALLY SOON WE COULDN'T QUITE
GET THERE BY TODAY BUT WE WELL
I'M PRETTY SURE SO THANK YOU
FOR YOUR SUPPORT. AND I REMAIN
IN THE ROOM FOR QUESTIONS.

AMENDMENTS SINCE THE BILL WAS
INTRODUCED. AMENDED MATCHING
THOSE US I WON'T NOT REITERATE-
THE- IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR VIEW
THE BILL- THUS FAR- AND
REFLECTED IN THE ANNOUNCES ONE
REMAINING ISSUE- OF THE SENATE
IS THE DEFINITION OF
INTENTIONALLY ADDED. SUBSTANCES
WE HAVE BEEN IN DISCUSSION.
ALUALU YOU AS TO WHETHER THIS
DEFINITION COULD BE BETTER
ALIGNED WITH OTHER. STATUTES
THAT HAVE BEEN ENACTED. IN THE
CHEMICAL BAY. OUT WE ANOTHER
MEMBERS OF THE ARE CURRENTLY
REVIEW FROM LANGUAGE SPOKEN
LAST FEW DAYS. BASED ON A CLEAN
PRODUCT INGREDIENT DISCLOSURE
BILL AN ACT A FEW YEARS AGO. WE
ARE STILL AWAITING FEEDBACK
FROM ALL OF OUR INDUSTRY A
COALITION STAKEHOLDERS. BY THIS
LANGUAGE IS CERTAINLY- TRENDING
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IN MY
VIEW AND I AM VERY OPTIMISTIC

SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE
SIGNIFICANTLY HELPFUL
AMENDMENTS TAKEN UP ALREADY

WHAT WOULD CONSTITUTE A
JUVENILE PRODUCT. WE ALSO
GREATLY APPRECIATE THE ONGOING
CONVERSATIONS REGARDING YOUR
IRANIAN ISSUE AT THE
MANUFACTURING COMMUNITY HAS NOT
THE BILL NAMELY THE DEFINITION
INTENSELY ADDED NOT
WITHSTANDING OUR CURRENT
CONDITION WE BELIEVE THE
CONVERSATION HOUSE REFINEMENTS
UNDER DISCUSSION ABOUT
LEGISLATURE DIONYSIAN
UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED ARE
INDEED HAD ADDED A MORE
WORKABLE DIRECTION IN MIND THE
CURRENT INTENTIONALLY OUT OF
PROVISIONS IN THE STATUTE
TODAY. FURTHER DISCLOSURE OF
PROHIBITED SUBSTANCES
LEGISLATION TO THAT END THE NPA
IS ALSO WORKING WITH A NUMBER
OF COMPANIES THAT ARE HOPEFUL
THAT WITH SOME REQUIREMENTS TO
THE INTENTIONALLY ADDED
DEFINITION CURRENTLY IN THE
BILL ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT
CURRENT DISCUSSIONS ARE
HAPPENING BUT WE ARE HOPEFUL
THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REMOVE
OPPOSITION TO AB SIX FIVE TWO
IN THE COMING DAYS. I IN THE
MEANTIME IT WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN HER
STOP AND- SEARCH FOR THEIR
WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THAT
AND THE MANUFACTURING COMMUNITY
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE

HOPEFUL WILL BE ABLE TO GET TO
NEUTRAL IN THE COMING DAYS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU
APPRECIATE THAT OKAY. SO- LET'S

ONE THEN ZERO. WE HAVE A LINE
QUEUING UP ONE MOMENT WHILE WE
PROVIDE THEM THEIR LINE NUMBER.
I'M MODERATOR ANY MINUTE NO ONE
ELSE. YEAH WE DO HAVE A LINE IN
Q. LINE ONE HUNDRED GO AHEAD
PLEASE. MORNING SHARE MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE ADAM WRIGLEY
WITH THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE WE CURRENTLY HAVE A
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
BUT THAT WOULD BE UTHORS-
INTEND TO WORK ON THE INTENSELY
ADDED DEFINITION. WERE LIKELY
TO MOVE TO NEUTRAL ONCE WE SEE
THAT LANGUAGE IN CURRENT BUT-
REALLY APPRECIATE WORKING WITH
THAT THE OFFERINGS THAT THANK
YOU. THANK YOU OKAY IF. FEB
HAVE BELIEVE AS JUST ONE PERSON
MIND SO LET'S BRING IT BACK TO
THE LINE OVER THE LINES INTO
SIR THANK YOU THANK YOU MATTER
OKAY SO IT'S BEEN BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS
COMMENTS THOUGHTS. I SEE ONE
COMMENT OR QUESTION FROM
SENATOR ALI. THANK YOU TAKE
YOUR SHARE SO. I ACTUALLY JUST
WANNA CLARIFICATION AND I KNOW
WE WORKED ON P. VOSS. IN IT WAS
LAST YEAR MAYBE THE YEAR BEFORE
WITH YOU KNOW THE FIREFIGHTERS
AND THEN TRYING TO. GIVE THEM
AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME UP WITH
NEW TECHNOLOGY TO COME WITHOUT
THAT THE DEPTH OF THE TO
IMPLEMENT IT SO IT WAS A PHASE
IN TIME. BUT I MY QUESTION IS
AND- FORGIVE ME FOR MIGHT BE
NOT AS- EDUCATED ON THIS ISSUE
AS I WANT TO BE- WHY DO WE HAVE
TO HAVE PEOPLE AS IN THE FIRST
PLACE WHAT IS IT IS ISN'T
TERRIBLE I WANTED I RECALL AND-
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG MAYBE
ONE OF THE- WITNESSES COULD
HELP ME OUT THAT THERE WAS. A
TIME WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO
STOP THINGS FROM BURNING IS
FAST- AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS
INCORPORATED INTO OUR- CHAIRS
AND CARPET AND- CLOTHING- AND
SO. IT IS THAT IS THAT THE CASE
THAT WE HAVE THOSE SOME LAW IN
THE BOOK THE SAYS SOMETHING
CAN'T BURN AS FAST AS IT WOULD
NOT OR WOULD OTHERWISE WITHOUT
PEOPLE SENATE. SO THAT IF YOU
CAME UP WITH FLAME RETARDANTS
WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN REMOVED
FROM CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS. THIS
P. FOSS IS USED FOR EVEN A- YOU
KNOW SORT OF LESS IMPORTANT
REASON IT'S REALLY ROUTINELY
BEEN SPRAYED ON A LOT OF THESE
PRODUCTS BECAUSE THEY THINK
IT'S MAKES IT MORE STAIN
RESISTANT. WHICH IS SOMEONE
THAT HAS A LOT OF THESE
PRODUCTS WILL TELL YOU I DON'T
EVEN BELIEVE THAT- BECAUSE
EVERYTHING GETS STAINED. BUT
IT'S CERTAINLY THERE'S NO LAW
THAT SAYS THAT. THAT THEY NEED
TO. MAKE A CAR SEAT MORE STRAIN
RESISTANT THERE'S FOR CLOTHING
AND OTHER PRODUCTS ARE
CERTAINLY OTHER MATERIALS THAT
ARE USED BY A LOT OF INCOME
COMPANIES IF YOU BUY ORGANIC
MATERIALS A LOT OF TIMES THEY
HAVE OTHER TYPES OF. YOU KNOW
THINGS ON THEM THAT WOULD HELP
MAKE IT A LITTLE SLICKER WHEN
YOU WASH IT SO UNLIKE WITH
FLAME RETARDANTS WHICH AT ONE
POINT WHERE I THINK WERE
MANDATED BY LAW. NONE OF THIS
IS IMPACTED BY ANY REGULATIONS
AND WE'VE EXEMPTED THINGS THAT
WE THINK THERE IS AN ARGUMENT
FOR SOME OF THE ELECTRONICS FOR
INSTANCE AND- THINGS THAT ARE
INSIDE- INSIDE THESE PRODUCTS
SO. IF THAT YOUR QUESTION IF
YOUR QUESTION IS WHETHER
THEY'RE USING IT BECAUSE OF ANY
LAW THAT REQUIRES THEM TO THE
ANSWER IS NO. SO- SO THIS BILL
BASICALLY IS DEFINING DOES IF
IT WANTS TO WE ARE PROP SIXTY
FIVE WHICH LATE THAT'S A
LABELING ISSUE AND LETTING THE
CONSUMERS KNOW WHAT THE RISK IS
OF USING THE PRODUCTS SO THAT
DOES NOT THIS BILL DOES NOT
TOUCH THAT IS STILL GOING TO BE
LABELED- THIS BILL BASICALLY IS
NEARING IN ON THOSE- VERY.
DEFINED PRODUCTS THAT ARE ONLY
FOR CHILDREN CORRECT YOUR
HEALTH PRODUCTS. SO PEOPLE ALSO
STILL BE USED I AM PLEASED TO
ANNOUNCE IS FOR ADULT
MATTRESSES WHICH SO IF YOUR
CHILD IS. SLEEPING WITH YOU IN
YOUR BED YOUR THEY'RE STILL
GOING TO BE. SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE
PEOPLE ASSETS AND- ALL THE
ADULT PRODUCTS CORRECT AND I
THINK IT'S A REAL CONCERN.
THANK YOU CHAIR THANK YOU- THE
REQUESTED I MUST SAY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER AT THAT POINT I
NATIONALLY HEARD ABOUT THIS
BILL AND ANOTHER SORT OF A
KNOCKOFF OF GREEN CHEMISTRY
WHILE I SHARE YOUR FRUSTRATION
TED IT'S MOVING SLOWER THAN ALL
OF US HAVE ANTICIPATED- IS
STILL DOING GOOD WORK I THINK
WHAT I HEARD TODAY AND FROM THE
STAFF REPORT BECAUSE WHAT. WHAT
MAKES. IT'S TO GIVE YOU THE
BENEFIT OF MY THINKING THE-
DGSE IS ALREADY MADE A DECISION
ON THE RUGS AND CARPETS WHAT
DID. A P. FAST AND I'VE ALSO
MADE A DECISION ON. PLANT BASED
FOOD PACKAGING SO THIS IS THIS
IS GREEN CHEMISTRY WORKING AND
NOW SAYING BECAUSE OF THE
INFANT AND JUVENILE PRODUCTS WE
WANT TO EXTEND THAT SCIENCE
THAT WE HAVE DONE THAT BODY
SCIENCE TO IT. I THINK THAT'S
REFLECTED IN SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION THAT HAVE SAID OKAY
THAT'S A NATURAL PROGRESSION
VERSUS JUST. WE THOUGHT WE JUST
FOUND NEW CHEMICAL AND WE
WANTED TO BE WE WANT TO GO TO
THE FRONTLINE AND I. AND GREEN
CHEMISTRY SO I APPRECIATE THAT
I DID I'M SORRY I WASN'T HERE
TO BEGINNING BUT I DID HEAR
SOME. BECAUSE THE THINGS THAT
PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE-
INTENTIONAL- N. IF I IF I COULD
HEAR FROM YOU I'M SORRY IF IT'S
REPETITIVE VALERIE MENTION THAT
YOU REMARKS WHERE DO YOU THINK
THAT THAT'S COULD LAND. ON IT'S
NOT. IT'S IT IS IT THE
NATURALLY OCCURRING INTENTION.
OR IS IT THAT THAT'S ADDED TO
THE PRODUCTS- FOR THESE
JUVENILE PRODUCTS. YEAH I WELL
WE HAVE TAKEN- THE LANGUAGE
THAT WE TOOK FROM THE COMMITTEE
WAS TO GIVE MORE CERTAINTY TO
THAT MANUFACTURERS IN THAT
REGARD. SO THAT THEY FELT THAT
THEY WOULDN'T BE- SORT OF. THEY
WOULD NEVER PUNITIVE ACTION
AGAINST THEM WHEN THEY DID NOT
KNOW THAT THERE WAS PEOPLE ALSO
WAS NATURALLY OCCURRING. OR
THERE WAS OTHER KIND OF
CONTAMINATION. SO WE'RE HOPEFUL
THAT THAT WILL REMOVE THEIR
OPPOSITION AS YOU HER I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU WERE IF YOU WERE
CAME IN AS THEY WERE SPEAKING.
THEY CERTAINLY HAVE TO GO BACK
TO THEIR MEMBERS TO. MAKE SURE
THAT ALL OF THEIR ISSUES ARE
ADDRESSED AND YOU KNOW WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS
WORKABLE FOR INDUSTRY AS WELL-
THE SO- YOU KNOW I THINK THAT
THEY'RE JUST CONCERNED ABOUT
LIABILITY WHEN THEY IF THEY
MAKE ALL THE BEST EFFORTS TO
MAKE SURE THAT. THAT THIS
MATERIAL IS NOT THERE. AND IT
COMES FROM THE INSIDE OF THE
PRODUCT OR SOMETHING HAPPENS
THAT THEY'LL HAVE A CHANCE T
CORRECT THAT. AND IT'S
CONSISTENT WITH THE LARA
LANGUAGE THAT DAY THAT WE HAD
CORRECT IN YOUR SYSTEM THAT
LIKE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT. THEY
UNDERSTAND THEY KNOW HOW TO
WORK WITHIN SO- WE'VE BEEN YOU
KNOW WE REALLY HAVE BEEN
WORKING VERY HARD TO REMOVE.
THE SMALL AMOUNT OF OPPOSITION
THAT THEY HAD AND I WOULD LIKE
TO THIS POINT OUT THAT THEIR
OPPOSITION WAS NOT ABOUT THE
INTENT OF THIS BILL. I WILL
GIVE INDUSTRY A LOT OF CREDIT
FOR SAYING HEY WE GET THAT THIS
IS A PROBLEM WE DON'T WANT TO
SEE THIS ANYMORE EITHER WE
UNDERSTAND THE EMERGING. DATA
SCIENCE ABOUT THE RISKS OF THIS
WE WANT TO GET THIS OUT OF OUR
PRODUCTS NOW WE JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT. YOU KNOW THAT
WE DO IT IN A WAY THAT WE THAT.
WE CAN ACHIEVE SO THEY'VE BEEN
REALLY GOOD ABOUT WORKING WITH
US ON THAT. I'M OF THE BILL.
THE SENATE. THIRTY DOLLAR. THE
FOLLOW UP. THAT'S VERY GOOD
INFORMATION AND- BOB BILL LATE
IT FREES THERE USING RECYCLED
MATERIAL HAD THE PEOPLE SENATE
BEFORE THE I MEAN THEY THEY
NEED TO BE HELD HARMLESS TO TRY
DOING THE BEST EFFORT TO
ELIMINATE THE PRODUCTS AND SO-
I COMMENDED THE ABILITY TO WORK
TOGETHER I'M ONLY OFF THE
BUILDING TO SEE WHAT YOU'RE
GOING TO PROCS NEXT I BELIEVE.
THERE WAS A- IT- I THINK ONE OF
FOR. SO ARE YOU GONNA BE TAKEN
MINUTES BEFORE THE FLOOR WELL
WE FIRST WANT TO SEE IF THEY-
AGREED TO THE LANGUAGE THAT WE
PUT IN IT'S POSSIBLE THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO YOU KNOW DO
THEY DO THAT DEEP DIVE INTO THE
LANGUAGE GO BACK TO THE MEMBERS
AND COME BACK AND REMOVE THEIR
OPPOSITION THAT'S OUR HOPE.
OKAY THANK YOU. OKAY BRADFORD
BATES I JUST SAYS CLOTHING I
JUST WANT TO THANK OUR-
ASSEMBLY WOMAN. FRIEDMAN FOR
THE WORK ON THIS BECAUSE I
THINK YOU'VE RAISED A
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES AND ALL OF
US AS PARENTS. YOU KNOW HAVE

MONITORED FOR RECREATIONAL
WATER QUALITY IN THE SAME
MANNER AS OCEAN BEACHES. IN
ADDITION THE SMALL AMOUNT OF

CONTAMINATED WATER. RATHER THAN
ATTEMPT TO ESTABLISH AN STATUTE
WHICH SITES NEED TO BE TESTED
AB TEN SIXTY SIX REQUIRES THAT
THE CALIFORNIA WATER QUALITY
MONITORING COUNCIL. BY JULY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY TWO DIRECT
A NEW OR EXISTING WORKING GROUP
TO STUDY WATER RECREATION
HAZARDS AT PRIORITY WATER
CONTACT RECREATION SITES. THE
WORKING GROUP IS TO CONDUCT
THOSE STUDIES OVER A TWELVE
MONTH PERIOD BEFORE SUBMITTING
A REPORT OF THEIR FINDINGS TO
THE STATE WATER RESOURCES
CONTROL BOARD THE COUNCIL WILL
THEN IN COLLABORATION WITH THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH LOCAL HEALTH OFFICERS
AND THE PUBLIC PROPOSED TO THE
STATE WATER BOARD TO CONSIDER A
DEFINITION OF MONITORED FRESH
ROCK FRESHWATER RECREATION SITE
AND THE SHOULD HAPPEN ON OR
BEFORE DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST.
TWENTY TWENTY THREE. AB TEN
SIXTY SIX IS MODELED AFTER A B.
FOUR ONE ONE WHICH WAS SIGNED
INTO LAW IN NINETEEN NINETY
SEVEN. AND ESTABLISHED
REQUIREMENTS FOR REGULAR STATE
AND LOCAL MONITORING OF COASTAL
WATERS. AND INFORM THE PUBLIC
WHEN THE WATERS POSED A HEALTH
HAZARD. AND LET ME POINT OUT
THAT THIS IS NOT A COSTLY NEW
STATE PROGRAM WHAT IT DOES IS
BUILD ON WORK THAT'S ALREADY
BEING DONE BY THE S. W. R. C.
B. AND MANY PUBLIC PRIVATE AND
PRIVATE AND PRIVATE. SECTOR
FRESHWATER RECREATION SITE
MANAGERS BY IMPROVING GREATER
CONSISTENCY AND TRANSPARENCY.
CURRENTLY THOSE PUBLIC CA AND
PRIVATE MANAGERS I JUST DON'T
HAVE CONSISTENT TESTING
PROTOCOLS AND METHODOLOGIES. AB
TEN SIXTY SIX FIXES KEY
ELEMENTS OF THIS HEALTH PROBLEM
BY ESTABLISHING UNIFORM
MONITORING STANDARDS WHILE ALSO
ADDRESSING INEQUITY ISSUE
INLAND AREAS SHOULD BE AFFORDED
THE SAME PUBLIC HEALTH
PROTECTIONS AS COASTAL AREAS.
WE RECOGNIZE. I SHOULD SAY OF
COURSE ARE THERE ARE MILLIONS
OF CALIFORNIANS AND VISITORS
WHO RELY ON FRESH WATER BODIES
LIKE LAKES RIVERS AND STREAMS
FOR RECREATION AND THEY SHOULD
HAVE THE SAME PROTECTION THAT
FOLKS WHO HAD OUT TO OUR
BEACHES HALF THE BEACH
MONITORING PROGRAM HAS BEEN A
RESOUNDING SUCCESS AROUND THE
STATE- AND WE KNOW THAT- MISTER
CHAIR UNITE- BECAUSE IT'S BEEN
A SUCCESS RIGHT AT HOME IN OUR
BEACH AND US. IN SANTA MONICA
WHERE WE NOW UNDERSTAND THE
WATER QUALITY ISSUES- POOR
WATER QUALITY ISSUES FRANKLY
THAT CAME FROM STORMWATER
RUNOFF THAT CAME FROM RESIDUE
THAT WAS COMING OFF OF THE
SANTA MONICA PIER ONCE YOU KNOW
THOSE THINGS YOU CAN LET PEOPLE
KNOW WHEN THEY'RE BAD WHEN
THEY'RE PROBLEMATIC SO THAT
SURFERS AND- BAY THIS
CONSPIRATORIAL- AND IT ALSO
ELEVATES PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING
ABOUT THE- THE ISSUE- AND
MOTIVATES. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN
THE STATE TO TAKE ACTION TO
CLEAN UP THE PROBLEMS WHICH
WE'VE DONE IN SANTA MONICA TO
GREAT EFFECT. YEP WE RECOGNIZE
THE TEN SIXTY SIX IS A WORK IN
PROGRESS AND IS ONLY THE FIRST
STEP IN ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE
THE BILL WILL ADDRESS A KEY
PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGE THAT
MANY CALIFORNIANS FACE AN
OUTDOOR RECREATION ENSURING
THAT THERE ARE SIGNS AND HEALTH
BASED MICROBIOLOGICAL STANDARDS
ONGOING WATER QUALITY
MONITORING AND PUBLIC
NOTIFICATION FOR FRESH WATER
RECREATION WHERE NEEDED
CALIFORNIA IS A MAGNIFICENT
STATE ONE THAT AFFORDS ALL OUR
COMMUNITIES WITH OPPORTUNITIES
TO RECREATION OUTDOORS NOT TO
MENTION THOSE WHO COME. TO
VISIT OUR GREAT STATE. POSTED
ENSURE LAKES RIVERS AND STREAMS
DESERVE THE SAME ASSURANCES
THAT FRESHWATER SITES ARE SAFE
TO SWIM AND JUST AS THOSE WHO
ENJOY OUR COASTAL BEACHES.
CALLING IN TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL ARE

APPRECIATE SHARE ALLEN CO
AUTHORSHIP. OVER THE RECENT
HOLIDAY WEEKENDS PEOPLE ALL
ACROSS CALIFORNIA FLOCKED TO
BEACHES AND RIVERS TO COOL OFF
AND ENJOY TIME WITH FRIENDS AND
FAMILY. HOWEVER CALIFORNIANS
WHO WENT TO OCEAN BEACHES WERE
AFFORDED MORE PROTECTIONS
REGARDING WATER QUALITY AND
THOSE WHO WENT TO FRESH WATER
RECREATION SITE LIKE RIVERS
CREEKS COMPLAINING ALL. THE
WATER IN MANY OCEAN BEACHES
CAPTAIN REGULARLY FOR BACTERIAL
POLLUTION AND THAT INFORMATION
IS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE
PUBLIC. THE SAME IS NOT TRUE
BURKE FRESHWATER RECREATION
SITE. AB TEN SIXTY SIX TAKES
THE FIRST IMPORTANT STEPS IN
ADDRESSING THIS DISPARITY.
HILDA MAY LEAD THE EFFORT OVER
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO GET BASIC
HEALTH PROTECTIONS FOR OCEAN
BEACH GOERS. THANKS TO A BEFORE
ELEVEN WHICH PASSED THE
NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN VISITORS
TO OVER FIVE HUNDRED OF
CALIFORNIA'S BELOVED BEACHES
ARE BETTER PROTECTED BECAUSE
THEY ARE INFORMED ON THE AMOUNT
OF BACTERIAL POLLUTION IN THE
WATER. INCREASED AND
STANDARDIZED MONITORING AT OUR
BEACHES HAS LED TO FURTHER
LEGISLATION THAT PROVIDED
FUNDING FOR PROJECTS. TO
IMPROVE WATER QUALITY AND
FURTHER PUBLIC EDUCATION THAT
KEEPS PEOPLE SAFE. SO THE BAY
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM IS NOW
LEADING THE EFFORT TO ACHIEVE
HEALTH PROTECTIONS FOR VISITORS
TO FRESHWATER SITES. AB TEN
FIFTY SIX WHAT PASSED THE
CALIFORNIA WATER QUALITY
MONITORING COUNCIL BUT DEFINING
AND IDENTIFYING PRIORITY
FRESHWATER RECREATION RIGHT
ACROSS THE STATE. AS WELL AS
MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AN
APPROPRIATE MONITORING PROGRAM
FOR THE SITE. THIS IS NOT A
MONITORING AND PUBLIC
NOTIFICATION MANDATE LIKE IT
BEFORE ELEVEN BUT IT IS A
CRITICAL FIRST STEP IN
ACHIEVING THOSE HEALTH
PROTECTIONS FOR FRESH WATER.
CHILDREN MAY SUPPORT THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL NAMELY
EXPANDING TO MORE BROADLY
ADDRESSED MICROBIOLOGICAL
STANDARDS. FOCUSING EFFORTS ON
OVERBURDENED COMMUNITIES AND
SHIFTING FROM HIGH USED TO
PRIORITY APPROACH. WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS AND THE AUTHOR TO
ENSURE THAT THERE IS WIDESPREAD
SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL. AB TEN
SIXTY SIX THE FIRST STEP
TOWARDS PROTECTING ALL
CALIFORNIANS FROM POLLUTION AT
THEIR FAVORITE SWIMMING HOLE.
IN IT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
INSPIRE MORE HEALTH PROTECTION
AND WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS
AS WE HAVE SEEN AT OUR OCEAN
BEACHES. WE URGE YOU TO VOTE
YESTERDAY ON AB TEMP SIXTY SIX
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THANK

ACTIVISTS TV STRONGLY SUPPORTS
A. B. TEN SIXTY SIX BECAUSE IT
TAKES THE NECESSARY FIRST STEPS
IN ADDRESSING THE CASE THE
EXISTING PUBLIC HEALTH
DISPARITY IN CALIFORNIA BETWEEN
PROTECTIONS ACCORDED TO OCEAN
BEACH GOERS. AND THOSE AFFORDED
TO VISITORS BY RIVERS STREAMS
AND LAKES- OCEAN BEACHES WITH A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF VISITORS AND
PROXIMITY TO STORM DRAINS
REQUIRE REGULAR TESTING OF THE
WATER FOR BACTERIAL POLLUTION
AS WELL AS PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.
THE WATER QUALITY. TODAY PEOPLE
STILL GET SICK FROM FRESHWATER
RECREATION BECAUSE CALIFORNIA'S
ICONIC RIVERS LAKES AND STREAMS
ARE NOT MONITORED CONSISTENTLY
BACTERIAL POLLUTION. THE
REQUESTED BY THE CDC AND
ACADEMIC RESEARCHERS INDICATES
THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ACROSS
CALIFORNIA GET SICK FROM
FRESHWATER RECREATION EVERY
YEAR. FOR CALIFORNIANS WHO DO
NOT LIVE NEAR THE COASTER FOR
WHOM THE COAST IS NOT EASILY
ACCESSIBLE INLAND FRESHWATER
AREAS PROVIDE ESSENTIAL
RECREATIONAL SPACE FOR SWIMMING
WEEDING AND OTHER FORMS WATER
CONTACT RECREATION.
CALIFORNIANS TO USE THESE
WATERWAYS SHOULD BE PROVIDED

OCEAN BEACH GOERS ARE GIVEN. WE
WORRY THAT THE CURRENT LACK OF

MISTER CHAIR WE HAVE KNOWN
QUEUED UP THANK YOU LET'S BRING
THE ITEM BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR QUESTIONS THOUGHTS
COMMENTS. CENTER DOLLY. THANK
YOU SENATOR BOOM FOR BRING THIS
FOR I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ON
THE DETAILS OF HOW IT'S GOING
TO ROLL OUT SOMEBODY WHO
REPRESENTS. LAKE TAHOE AND-
THOUSANDS OF MILES OF RIVERS
THAT RUN. AND STREAM THAT RUNS
REGISTER CAL HOUSING- SO WITH
THIS BILL- OBVIOUSLY FOR THE
BEACHES IT'S PRETTY EASY
THERE'S ONE COASTLINE AND BUT
THERE'S LOTS OF TRIBUTARIES
THAT BRANCH OFF THROUGHOUT THE
DAY MY DISTRICT WHAT WHAT DO
YOU THINK THE PROCESS IS GOING
TO LOOK LIKE I MEAN AND THIS
BILLS LIKE GIVING SOME GUIDANCE
TO THE WATER BORDER LIKE
DETERMINE- SO WHAT'S THE
DEFINITION OF A BEACH WHAT'S
THE DEPOSITION OF THIS OF
COURSE SO I GUESS FOR ME IT'S
LIKE. WHO'S GOING TO DO WHAT
AND- HOW THE PROCESS GOING TO
GO FORWARD. WELL UNDER THE BILL
THE WATER BOARD IS SET- CHARGED
WITH SETTING UP THAT PROCESS
AND CARRYING IT THROUGH AND WE
PROVIDE. SOME GUIDANCE AND TIME
LIMITS- TO GET WITHIN WHICH
THAT WORK IS TO BE DONE. I
THINK FOR MORE DETAIL PROBABLY-
A DOCTOR PIZZA AT HEAL THE BAY
MAY BE ABLE TO ADD SOME
ADDITIONAL DETAIL. SURE I CAN
ADD TO THAT THANK YOU. SO IN
TERMS OF THE ATTENDING THE
DEFINITION I THINK THERE IS
SOME SUGGESTION AND SOME
SUGGESTIONS AND THE BILL
LANGUAGE WHERE INDIFFERENT
CRITERIA COULD BE TAKEN INTO
ACCOUNT TO- SET FORTH WHAT
WOULD BE A PRIORITY RECREATION
PLIGHT THE CLEARLY IT WE
WOULDN'T EXPECT MONITORING TO
HAPPEN AT. YOU KNOW EVERY
SINGLE SITE ON THE RIVER WHERE
THERE'S ANY SORT OF RECREATION
BUT WE WOULD TRY TO PRIORITIZE
THOSE AREAS THAT WOULD BE BASED
ON THINGS LIKE. HOW USE THEY
GET WHETHER THEY'RE IS I THANK
WATER CALL CONCERNS. WHETHER
THERE IS A LOCATION THAT ARE
USED FOR A COMMERCIAL.
ENDEAVORS LIKE. RAFTING OR
OTHER KINDS OF THINGS LIKE THAT
AS WELL AS THE IT BY
OVERBURDENED COMMUNITIES SO.
THAT THE IN THE CALIFORNIA
WATER QUALITY MONITORING
COUNCIL WOULD SET UP A WORK
GROUP THAT WOULD WORK THROUGH
THOSE ISSUES IN TERMS OF WHAT
WOULD BE THE CRITERIA THAT
WOULD QUALIFY. RIGHT TO. I'VE
ACTUALLY BE MONITORED. THAT
WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY. A LONG
MOST OF THESE TRIBUTARIES THERE
RT THERE'S A LOT OF MONITORING
GOING ON ALREADY FOR THE OXYGEN
AND- FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
DROPPING OUT OF THE SO WITH
THAT INFORMATION IS ALREADY
AVAILABLE STE BE USED TO
DETERMINE WHETHER YOU. NEED
EVEN GOING FURTHER. WHAT I'M
LOOKING FOR THAT ONE ANOTHER
LAYER OF BUREAUCRACY ON TOP OF
WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE. A LOT OF
MONITORING GOING ON IT MOST OF
THE STREAMS AND RIVERS IN MY
DISTRICT HAVE. A MUNICIPALITIES
THAT ARE PULLING OUT OF THOSE
OR PUTTING STUFF BACK IN AND
THEN WE HAVE MONITORING THAT'S
IT ALREADY AVAILABLE THAT WE
WOULD NOT REQUIRE A NOTHER. AND
THEN THERE'S RECREATION ALONG
THOSE TRIBUTARIES THAT WE WOULD
NOT REQUIRE THAT THAT WOULD BE
SUFFICIENT IF THEY USE THE
MONITORING THE PROBLEM THOSE
MINUTES APOLOGIES. THE BILL
ACTUALLY KNOWLEDGE IS THAT THAT
IS- HI IN FACT THE CASE-
HOWEVER WE KNOW THAT OTHER
MONITORING CUT THAT'S GOING ON
IS NOT ALWAYS CONSISTENT
STANDARDS SO ONE OF THE EFFORTS
HERE SHOULD BE TO- I HAVE A
CONSISTENT SET OF STANDARDS SO
THAT ONE GOES FROM ONE. AREA TO
THE NEXT- YOUR- YOU'RE GETTING
A REPORT THAT HAS SOME
CONSISTENCY. TO IT. HI AND- SO
I THINK THAT'S AT LEAST
PARTIALLY IN RESPONSE TO YOUR
TO YOUR QUESTION. THANK YOU.
SENATE BATES A YEAR FOR THANK
YOU I THINK CONSERVE
CONCEPTUALLY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BILLION I IT'S REALLY A GOOD
IDEA I THINK IMPRACTICALITY
HOWEVER I'M JUST FOLLOWING UP
ON MY COLLEAGUES FROM BEAVER
ARE WHO MENTIONED- YOU KNOW HOW
MANY TRIBUTARIES AND RIVERS AND
ALL THAT IT'S A KIND OF A
MASSIVE UNDERTAKING AND SOME OF
THE MORE ON NOT ENOUGH AREAS
WHERE WE HAVE THOSE STREAMS AND
LAKES ALONG THE BEACH AREAS I
WAS VERY INVOLVED IN THE
MONITORING CONFIRMED THERE WAS
A LOT OF POLLUTION HERE IN
SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY BEACHES AND
IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS THE
BIRDS THAT WERE. THE REAL
PROBLEM SO I GO TO THE QUESTION
OF A WIN THE SOURCES DISCOVERED
AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT
OF POLLUTION GOING ON WITH THE
ILLEGAL MARIJUANA GROWING UP IN
THE NORTHERN PART OF OUR STATE
I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT THAT ON THIS BOARD
THAT WILL BE BROUGHT TOGETHER-
THAT WE DO HAVE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS I INVOLVED IN
THOSE- AS MENTIONED BY MY
COLLEAGUE THE- OF THE- TESTING
THAT'S ALREADY GOING ON FOR YOU
KNOW OTHER OTHER PURPOSES ALL
OF THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO BE AT
THE TABLE. AND I WOULD ALSO
SUGGEST AND I'M GONNA SUPPORT
IT TODAY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A
VERY IMPORTANT STEP BUT I THINK
OF THE WORD MANNER IN WHICH IS
PUT TOGETHER IS PROBABLY THE
MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF
THIS BEING WORKABLE DATA SOURCE
IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE ALL
COSTS IS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE
AND THOSE ARE ALREADY LAYERED-
IN A NUMBER OF AREAS BUT WHEN
YOU DETERMINE THE SOURCE IN THE
PROGRAM OF HOW THAT'S GOING TO
BE CONTROLLED I DO BELIEVE THE
PLAN NEEDS TO BE BROUGHT BACK
THE LEGISLATURE. AND I'D LIKE
TO HAVE SOME COMMITMENT THAT
THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED
BECAUSE THEY CAN COME UP WITH A
PLAN THAT SOUNDS GREAT BUT WHEN
IT'S IMPOSED ON LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS THEY'RE ALREADY
DOING SOME OF THESE THINGS AND
THE MYRIAD OF SOURCE POTENTIAL
FOR THE POLLUTION OF WHATEVER
RADIOS CAN BE- HUGE HUGE ARE IT
TOOK FOR THE BEACH AREAS I WAS
ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FOR
EIGHT YEARS IT TOOK ALMOST.
THAT ENTIRE TIME TO TESTING OUR
TO DETERMINE THAT IT WAS. OF
THE BIRD IN THE SIZE FOR THEM
FOR OF THE CAMPUS- BEECHER.
THAT WE REALLY SOURCE AND IT
WASN'T JUST THE ODD. OUTFLOW
FROM FERTILIZING LAWNS UP UP
AND NOT HIGHLANDS OF. THE FACT
MANY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
AREA. AND THAT WAS VERY COSTLY
BUT IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE DOWN THERE WERE-
DEFICIT CAME FORWARD TO
DISCOURAGE THE BIRDS FROM
COLLECTING. IN CERTAIN AREAS.
BUT ANYWAY THOSE ARE THINGS
THAT ARE OF CONCERN AS WE PUT
TOGETHER- A PROGRAM THAT'S
REALLY GOING TO DO THE JOB THAT
YOU HOPE AND THAT WE ALL WANT
DONE- SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT
REALLY NEEDS COME BACK. HERE
ONCE WE GOT SOMETHING TOGETHER
AND IMPERATIVE. THAT WE HAVE OF
THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY
INVOLVED IN ALL OF THAT. THAT
THERE AT THE TABLE. I THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR THOSE COMMENTS
SENATOR OF THE BILL IN FACT TO
ANTICIPATE SO- THAT THERE WOULD
BE- IMPLEMENTATION- CUT
LEGISLATION REQUIRED. BEFORE
THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY MOVES
FORWARD SO AFTER ALL THIS DATA
IS. COLLECTED AND TO THE
WORKING GROUP DOES ITS WORK
REPORTS BACK TO THE WATER
POURED. WATER BOARD-
ESSENTIALLY MAKES
RECOMMENDATIONS ALTHOUGH I
DON'T THINK THAT'S THE WORD
THAT'S USED- AND THEN THE
LEGISLATURE WOULD HAVE TO ACT.
WELL THANK YOU AND AGAIN THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING UP FOR. YOU
GREAT. I QUESTIONS- BILLS MOVED
SENATOR. MCCASKEY HI ASSEMBLY

AB TWELVE HUNDRED PROTECT
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS BY
REDUCING HUMAN EXPOSURE TO AN

ARE A CLASS OF OVER NINE
THOUSAND FOREVER FOREVER
CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN LINKED TO
ISSUES. SUCH AS CANCER HORMONE
DISRUPTION KIDNEY AND LIVER
DAMAGE AND- MANY OTHER.
DISEASES CURRENTLY P. FAST CAN
BE DETECTED IN 98% OF
AMERICANS- WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THEIR BLOOD. WE'VE SEEN
COMPANIES- TAKE ACTION. WHICH
IS GREAT THESE THESE CHEMICALS
CAN BE FOUND IN TAKE OUT
CONTAINERS COOKWARE- AND
THEY'RE THERE TO PROTECT THE-
TRUMP CONTAINERS SO THAT THE
FOOD. HAS A LEAK ONTO OUR
CLOSER. OUT OF THEIR-
CONTAINERS BUT WE'VE SEEN
INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES LIKE
MCDONALD'S WENDY'S CHIPOTLE
WHOLE FOODS AND OTHER STATES
LIKE NEW YORK. ALREADY TAKE
ACTION TO PHASE OUT OR BAN P.
FASTER FROM THEIR PAPER FOOD
PACKAGING. A RECENT REPORT
FOUND THAT 80% OF NONSTICK PANS
IN 20% A BIG WHERE TESTING
CONTAINING CODY MADE FROM P.
FAST. SAID THIS BILL BANS THE
USE OF INTENTIONALLY ADDED P.
FAST. IN PLANT BASED FOOD
PACKAGING BY TWENTY TWENTY
THREE IT ALSO REQUIRES COOKWARE
MANUFACTURERS TO DISCLOSE THE
USE OF PEOPLE AFTER THE
HAZARDOUS CHEMICALS FROM THE
DTCS CARE TO CHEMICAL THIS. THE
PRODUCTS ONLINE BY TWENTY
TWENTY THREE AND ON PACKAGING
BY TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. AND
PROHIBITS MISLEADING MARKETING
CLAIMS ON COOKWARE CLAIMING TO
BE FREE OF A SPECIFIC.
HAZARDOUS CHEMICAL WHEN OTHER

IN ON PACKAGING BY TWENTY

TESTING FOUND PFAS CHEMICALS
SUCH AS PTSD OFTEN KNOWN BY THE
BRAND NAME TEFLON. IN THE
HORMONE DISRUPTING CHEMICAL
DISNEYLAND OR BPA IN THE
COATINGS OF COOK AND BAKEWARE.
WE KNOW P. FAST CAN BE RELEASED
INTO THE AIR WHEN HANDS REACH
HIGH TEMPERATURES EXPOSING BOTH
PEOPLE AND PETS. HOWEVER NO
DISCLOSURE OF CHEMICALS IN
THESE PRODUCTS IS REQUIRED AT
THE FEDERAL OR STATE LEVEL.
ADDITIONALLY COOKWARE PACKAGING
OFTEN CLAIMS A PRODUCT IS FREE
OF A SPECIFIC P. FILES SUCH AS
PFOA OR PFOS. EVEN CONSUMERS
THE FALSE IMPRESSION THE
PRODUCT IS FREE OF ALL SIMILAR
TOXIC CHEMICALS IN FACT HAND
LABELED P. FOR FREE ARE OFTEN
MADE WITH ANOTHER FORM OF P.
FAST. CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO
KNOW TOXIC CHEMICALS ARE IN
COOKWARE AND MANUFACTURE SHOULD
NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE MARKETING
CLAIMS TO MISLEAD CONSUMERS. AB
TWELVE HUNDRED ADDRESSES BOTH

FOR DISCUSSIONS AND ALI. YEAH I
JUST WANTED COMMENTED. IT SEEMS
WE HAVE A THEME TODAY OF. BILLS
THAT ARE COMING THROUGH WEEK SO
I JUST WANTED TO SPEND.
GENERALLY STATE WE'VE WE HAVE
THE DEPARTMENT TOXIC SUBSTANCE
WHICH WE WORKED ON IT MEANS IS
THAT- I CAL SKIN I SAID ON. SUB
TWO AND WE'RE FINDING THEM AND
WE'RE GIVING THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO. MOVE THROUGH
THESE PROCESSES WHERE WE HAVE-
YOU KNOW SCIENCE AND DATA AND
THINGS THAT WE CAN TRY TO GET
TO A PLACE WHERE. THE
MANUFACTURERS KNOW WHAT THE
RULES ARE AND SO TODAY WE'VE
SEEN TWO BILLS NOW- COMING
THROUGH WITH. YOU KNOW SPEEDING
UP THE PROCESS ARE NEARING IN
ON. ON CERTAIN PRODUCTS AND SO
I'M A LITTLE AREAS OF THE FACT
THAT IN AND WE'VE HEARD FROM
THE OPPOSITION THAT. THE
OPPORTUNITY TO. BE HELD
HARMLESS I THINK IS SOMETHING
THAT THEY THEY NEED TO BE ABLE
TO NOT BE ABLE TO GO SU IF WERE.
CHANGING THAT WERE FOR SPEEDING
UP THE PROCESS QUITE FRANKLY SO
I'M AND I KNOW THAT BOTH
AUTHORS THAT CAME IN HAVE BEEN
WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION TO
TRY TO GET. TO A PLACE WHERE
EVERYBODY IS WORKABLE SO I JUST
WANT TO SHARE THAT I THINK THAT
WE DO. A AND FOR THE FOR THE
TIME I'VE SAT ON THIS COMMITTEE
IN THIS HOUSE IN THE TIME I SAT
ON THE COMMITTEE IN THE OTHER
HOUSE E. Q. WE'VE BEEN. VERY
CRITICAL OF DEPARTMENT OF TOXIC
SUBSTANCES AND HOW. AND GREEN
CHEMISTRY ON HOW WE GET. FROM
WHERE WERE ARE TO WHERE WE WERE.
WANT TO GO. TO WANT TO SURE
THAT WE'RE- AS SENIOR LOT OF
BILLS THROUGH SO I. COMMTTEE
THE AUTHOR I MEAN OF. LAY OFF
YOUR BILL UNTIL I SEE WHAT THE
MIMICS REAL ARE BUT I DON'T
ONCE WE ENCOURAGE- THE
COMMITTEE. MAKE SURE THAT THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE TRYING TO. GET
TO A PLACE WHERE THEIR
MANUFACTURING IN MAKING IT SAFE
FOR THE PUBLIC THAT THEY HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET CAUGHT IN
A CATCH TWENTY TWO BECAUSE
WE'RE MOVING A LITTLE BIT. FOR
TRYING TO PUSHED. DEPARTMENT
TALK TO SUBJECTS. SUBSTANCE
INTO. IT TO GET THESE DONE SO I
JUST CAUTION AND WE'VE- WE'VE
DIPPED. IN THIS BUDGET. HAS
BEEN PROPOSED A LOT OF
RESOURCES TO HELP. DEPARTMENT
TOXIC SUBSTANCE GET WHERE THEY
NEED TO BE IN SO I THINK WE'RE
PUSHING THEM. WITHOUT GIVING
THEM THE OPPORTUNITY. WITH THE
RESOURCES AVAILABLE. TO GET
WHERE WE WANT TO GO SO JUST A
COMMENT I KNOW THAT THE- THE
BOTH AUTHORS APPEAR LOOK NOBODY
WANTS THESE. THIS STUFF IN
THEIR PRODUCTS AND YOU'VE HEARD
FROM THE MANUFACTURER SO JUST-
ENCOURAGEMENT TO BE ABLE TO
GETS TO. HAVE A- PLACE WHERE
THE- OPPOSITION IS COMFORTABLE
AS WELL AND ARE NOT. HELD TO
SOME. THE STANDARD THAT ALLOWS
THEM TO BE SUED AND I THINK
THAT'S WHAT I AM SOME OF OUR-
AT LEAST ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE
HERE. COMMENTS HAVE BEEN YOU
KNOW THE LIABILITY PART OF IT
IS A BIG DEAL. AND WE STILL
NEED THESE WE STILL NEED THESE
PRODUCTS BILL TO PACKAGE OUR
FOOD AND GET IT WE'RE GOING TO
ESPECIALLY. WITH TAKE OUT IN
THE THINGS WE'VE SEEN DURING
THE PANDEMIC SO JUST SOME
THOUGHTS THANK YOU. SARCASTIC
IS THE AUTHOR KNOWS I'VE BEEN A
DEFENDER GREEN CHEMISTRY IN
VERY LEERY OF ONE OFFS I THINK
WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN THIS
SITUATION AND I AGREE WITH MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BEAVER IS THAT
FOOD DGSE HAS ALREADY
IDENTIFIED AS TO PRIORITY-
PRODUCTS WITH ED HAPPY FAST
WITH CARPETS AND A PLANT BASED
FOOD SO WE'RE TAKING A SEPARATE
SEIZE THE LEGISLATURE'S WE'VE
GOT THAT BOOK SLOW MOVING THE
MINUTE LEAVE CRITICAL SLOW
MOVING- TRAIN THAT IS
IDENTIFIED PLANT FACE COVERING
SO BY EXTENDING IT TO. ALL FOOD
PACKAGING IT'S IN THIS IT I
THINK IT'S HARMONIZING RIGHT
AND OBVIOUSLY TO MOVE TO COOK
WHERE HE HAD TO BE AND THE
CHAPLAIN PAN BEFORE YOU GOT
INTO THE IF THE FOOD PACKAGING
SO IT'S NOT IN THE IN THE RICH
ASSEMBLY AND SENATE TRADITION
OF ONE OFF CHEMICAL BANDS TO
COME OUT OF NOWHERE THAT ARE
ARE ADVOCATES GIVE IS TO SELL
AT WITH THAT SAID AND- VARYING
NARROWLY. TAILORED I WOULD MOVE
THE BILL. THANK YOU. THE HAS
BEEN MOVED WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE FIFTIES VERY QUICKLY IN
THE SENATE SENATOR DOLLY AND I
ARE FROM THE SAME CLASS WEEKLY
CAME INTO OFFICE IN TWENTY
TWELVE WEEKS SAT ON THE STM
TOGETHER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
AND WE CONSTANTLY HEARD OF THE
INDUSTRY TALKING ABOUT WAIT FOR
THE GREEN CHEMISTRY PROCESS
WAIT FOR THE GREEN CHEMISTRY
PROCESS I THINK CENTER CAL SKI.
COMMENTED AS TO HOW THEY'VE
IDENTIFIED- THESE PRODUCTS
ALREADY- HOWEVER WERE LONGER
FRESHMEN OR IN OUR SECOND TERM
FOR OUR THIRD TERM THIS HAS
BEEN WE WE'VE BEEN IN OFFICE
NOW FOR NINE YEARS ON AND THE
PROCESS HAS MOVED TOO SLOWLY TO
THE POINT WHERE AGAIN. INDUSTRY
IS ALREADY MOVING AHEAD OF THIS
PROCESS YOU HAVE MAKE DONALD
YOU HAVE. THE TRIPLE A YOU HAVE
WHOLE FOODS YOU HAVE WENDY'S
THESE ARE NOT SMALL COMPANY
WITH ALL OF THE LOAN MOVES THE
MARKET AS WE ALL KNOW. IT SO IF
THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS
SOMETHING A PRODUCT OR WE DON'T
FEEL COMFORTABLE GIVING TO OUR
CONSUMERS I THINK IT'S
CALIFORNIANS WE HAVE TO TAKE A
VERY LEERY- LOOK AT THESE
CHEMICALS AND POTENTIALLY THE
DATA THAT THE DATA IS THE DATA
IS THERE. THE SCIENCE IS THERE

CALIFORNIANS AGAINST WASTE.
NEIL EDGAR COVERED MOST OF THE
DETAILS SO I WILL BE BRIEF IN
MY COMMENTS. THIS ACTUALLY
FAIRLY SIMPLE BILL THAT ENSURES
THAT CONSUMERS GET WHAT THEY
PAY FOR WHEN THEY BUY A PRODUCT
THAT'S LABELED COMPOSTABLE.
MYERS AT THE PRODUCT IS THIRD
PARTY CERTIFIED ACTUALLY BREAK
DOWN IN CALIFORNIA COMPOSTING
FACILITIES- IT'S REQUIRED NOT
CONTAMINATE COMPOST OR THE
STATE AGRICULTURAL SYSTEM WITH
TOXIC CHEMICALS LIKE PEACOCKS.
AND IT IS READILY IDENTIFIABLE
TO BOTH CONSUMERS AND SOLID
WASTE FACILITIES AND
DESTRUCTIVE LOOKALIKE PRODUCTS
AREN'T ALLOWED TO GREENWASHING
THEIR PRODUCTS AND COMPETE WITH
GENUINELY COMPOSTABLE
ALTERNATIVES- IN ADDITION TO
WHAT NIELSEN I WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT THE OVERLAP BETWEEN
THIS BILL AND TWO OTHER BILLS
THAT HAVE COME BEFORE THIS
COMMITTEE. THIS YEAR- THE FIRST
WITH THE CHAIRS SB THREE FORTY
THREE THAT ENACTED PARALLEL
LIMITS ON THE ITEMS LABELED
RECYCLABLE. AND THE SECOND IS A
FAMILY MEMBER GONZALEZ IS AB
EIGHT EIGHT ONE OF THE
COMMITTEE BACK I'M SO SORRY WE
HAVE TO ASK YOU TO FINISH UP.
OKAY MY ABOUT FINAL STATEMENT
SORRY- IS THAT TOGETHER THESE
THREE BILLS SHOULD RESTORE
CONSUMERS SAY THAN THE
RECYCLING SYSTEM BY ENSURING
THAT THINGS LABELED RECYCLABLE
OR COMPOSTABLE ARE TRULY
RECYCLABLE OR COMPOSTABLE IN
CALIFORNIA. AND ACTUALLY GET
RECYCLED OR COMPOSTED IF THE
CONSUMER DOES THEIR JOB B
PUTTING HIM IN THE RIGHT AND
ZACHARY. YEP OKAY THANK YOU-

MISTER CHAIR NUMBERS ON
CAPTAINING THE Q. CAPTAIN
ADVOCATES ON BEHALF CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION CURRENTLY WITH AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
ON IT A LITTLE TROUBLE ONE. WE
DO APPRECIATE HOWEVER THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSORS WILLINGNESS
TO CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE ON THE
BILL LAST YEAR REVISED GREATER
CLARITY ODD AND YOU ADDRESS
SOME OF THE CONCERNS ARE THAT
GMG MEMBER COMPANIES HAVE
IDENTIFIED FIVE. OUT OF THE
GATE TO BE CLEAR SKIN J. AND
MEMBER COMPANIES DO SUPPORT
ESTABLISHING CLEAR STANDARDS
FOR GREEN CLAIMS SUCH AS
COMPOSTABLE TO ENSURE CLARITY
FOR CONSUMERS AND TO CREATE A
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR
MANUFACTURERS THAT WISH TO
INVEST IN COMBUSTIBLE PRODUCTS
AND PACKAGING THAT SAID WE ARE
CONCERNED THAT AB TROUBLE ONE
OF CURRENTLY DROPPED DEAD WOULD
PROHIBIT LEGITIMATE COMPOSABLE
CLEAN ON A VARIETY OF PRODUCTS
AND PACKAGING. THEREBY CREATING
A DISINCENTIVE FOR
MANUFACTURERS AND COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS ARE FUNDAMENTAL
CONCERN WITH AB TROUBLE ONE OF
CURRENTLY DROPPED IS THAT IT
WOULD REQUIRE A PRODUCT LABELED
AS COMPOSED OF ALL TO BE AN
ALLOWABLE ORGANIC AND PLANT I'M
THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
NATIONAL ORGANIC PROGRAM. AND
THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE'S ORGANIC AND
NATURAL PROGRAM UNFORTUNATELY
HOWEVER THE NOPD AND ORGANIC
MATERIAL PROGRAMMER. OKAY JOHN.
PRODUCT PACKAGING APPROACH
COULD FOR ORGANIC I. PRODUCTS
TO FIVE AND CROP. IN THIS
REGARD ANY. OR PACKAGE THAT CAN
BE LABELED AS OF TODAY. BUT
THAT MADE BY YOU PATTERSON FOR
AND GOT CON FOR OTHER USE. WITH
NO BE ABLE TO DELAY COMPOSTABLE
THAT WOULD NOT BE DEEMED ACROSS
FOR THE NEAR SCOPE THE BILL OF
ORGANIC ON. SPONSOR OF AB
TWELVE AWAY. SEVEN AT THE
INDIAN NUMBER COMPANIES THE
BIGGEST MARKET GOING DRUG. OUT
I DID ORGANIC AGRO. AND
INTEREST. ACTUALLY DROPPED A
WITH YOUR MARKETING. BUT THE
PRO DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE BY OF
SEVERAL OTHER HARD EARNED
DOCTORAL CALL. THE FIRE. OF ALL
THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD APPROACH
ORGANIC FARMING SUCH AS GOING.
AND ARE CONTROL. IN FACT ON
INNOVATION FOR COMPANIES
SEEKING TO USE MORE SUSTAINABLE
PRODUCTS AND PACKAGING AMID A
LARGER PUSH RELATED TO THE
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND THE
STATE'S WASTE REDUCTION GOAL.
ORDINIS CM JANET MEMBER
COMPANIES BELIEVE THAT THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSORS UNDERLYING
TENTH MAY BE ACHIEVED BY
NARROWING THE SCOPE OF THE BILL
THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE INTENDED
TO FALL WITHIN THE WITHIN THE
SCOPE OF NOPD MAINLY
ORGANICALLY PRODUCED
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. FOOD
FIGHT FRENCH TO CROP. FINALLY
THINKING OF MEMBER COMPANIES
ARE ALSO CONSTRUED THE NEW
LABELING REQUIREMENTS UNDER
EACH OTHER ONE WHAT WE SUPPORT
CLEAR COMMUNICATION OF CLAIMS.
TO CONSUMERS THAT COMPOSTABLE
CROP. I'M THE OKAY. ALL RIGHT
WELL THANK YOU DONNA YOU YOU
HAVE REACHED YOUR TIMES BUT-
BUT BUT HOPEFULLY IT WILL STAY
ON IN CASES ANY QUESTIONS OTHER
PEOPLE MY ONE ASK LET'S GO TO-
THE PHONE LINES IF ANYONE ELSE
WANTS TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT
THE BILL. OR THE OPPOSITION
MODERATOR. IF THERE IS
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL PRESS

AGAIN PRESS ONE THEN ZERO.
STRUCTURE WE HAVE KNOWN QUEUING
UP AT THIS TIME ALL RIGHT THANK

MEMBERS FOR QUESTIONS COMMENTS
CONCERNS. OUR MOTION. THE MOVE
BY A CENTER GONZALEZ AND I. SEE
NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
YOU MAY CLOSE. THAT THEY CAN TO
CHAIR JUST VERY BRIEFLY A
COUPLE TO SOMETHING THAT'S
REALLY WONDERFUL ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES IS WHEN YOU PUT- P.
FAST CONTAMINATED- BURKE LIKE
LIKE FOOD YOU KNOW- FAST FOOD
WRAPPINGS OR- ANY KIND OF FIVE
BAGS OR EVEN RECEIPTS I I'VE
TALKED ABOUT PAPER RECEIPTS THE
PAST. THE CONTAMINATES THE
COMPOST DREAM UNNECESSARILY WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOR
PROJECT IS ACTUALLY COMPOSTABLE
DOESN'T CONTAIN P. FAST- WHICH
I THINK WILL CAP THE MAKE THE
COMPOST THE MOST VALUABLE.
PRODUCT IT COULD BE SO WITHOUT
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL YES
OKAY THANK YOU AND WE WILL AND
WE DO CONTINUE TO BE AWARE OF
AND WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE-
THE WITH WITH DON AND HER FOLKS
TO MAKE SURE THAT. NOTHING AND
THAT THAT THE WE'RE NOT GONNA
HARM INDUSTRIAL COMPOSTING AS
PART OF THIS PROCESS WHICH
ROUGHLY RIGHT THERE AND YOU'RE
GETTING IT AT A REAL ISSUE HERE
WHICH IS THAT FOR THE VAST
MAJORITY OF PEOPLE- THE ITEMS
THAT THEY BY THINKING THAT
THEIR COMBUSTIBLE ARE ACTUALLY
NOT COMBUSTIBLE AND SO WE'RE
GETTING SOME TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING HERE. SO FOLKS ARE
ARE BETTER INFORMED- WITH THAT

NOT ASKING FOR STRIKING MORE
THINGS. IN THE BILL. MOVE THE
BILL AB. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE MEMANTINE
THANK ME STAFF ON BEHALF OF THE
AUTHOR FOR THE WORK ON THESE.
AB SEVEN NINETY FOUR WOULD
REQUIRE PUBLIC SUBSIDIES FOR
CLEAN DREDGING SHORT HAUL
TRUCKS TO BE TIED COMPLIANCE
WITH LABOR STANDARDS. AS
IMPORTANT AS IT IS FOR STATE TO
TRANSITION TO A GREEN ECONOMY
IT'S EQUALLY IMPORTANT MAKE
SURE WE PROTECT AND SUPPORT
CALIFORNIA WORKERS.ABILITY TO
STATE TO MEET AMBITIOUS CLIMATE
GOALS DEPENDS IN LARGE PART ON
FLEET PURCHASERS TRANSITIONING
TO ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES. AS
WE WORK TO COMBAT. GREEN GET
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM
THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IT'S
IMPORTANT REALIZE THERE'S A
HISTORY OF LABOR LAW VIOLATIONS
IN THE COMMERCIAL TRUCKING
INDUSTRY. CAN IN THE DROEGE
INDUSTRY IN PARTICULAR TRACKING
COMPANIES INTENTIONALLY AND
ILLEGALLY MISCLASSIFIED DRIVERS
AS INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS TO
SHIFT THE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS. AS MENTIONED ANALYSIS
BETWEEN 75285% PORT TRUCK
DRIVERS LIKELY MEET THE CORPUS
CLASSIFICATION CRITERIA.
DRIVER'S CANNOT AFFORD THE NEW
CLEAN ZERO EMISSION TRUCKS WITH
THE COST TO PURCHASE MAINTAIN
VEHICLES FALLS ON THEM RATHER
THAN THE COMPANIES. AB SEVEN
NAME FOR WILL ENSURE THE PUBLIC
FUNDS ADMINISTERED BY CARD FOR
THE PURCHASE OF ZERO EMISSION
PORT DRAYAGE AND SHORT HAUL
TRUCKS ARE TIED TO REQUIREMENTS
OF THE FLEET PURCHASERS. NOT
VIOLATE STATE LAWS REGARDING
MISS CLASSIFICATION WORKERS IN
A BANK CONTRACTORS. I ADD. I
HOPE THAT THIS IS THE- IT WHAT
WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER BILLS
COMING THROUGH THAT THIS IS A
REAL- EFFORT TO LOOK FOR A JUST
TRANSITION AS WE'RE ALWAYS
TALKING ABOUT. HOW DO WE-
INCORPORATE THE NEEDS THAT WE
HAVE TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
ALONG WITH THE NEEDS TO ENSURE
THAT WORKERS ARE MADE WHOLE.
AND CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO
PROSPER IN INDUSTRIES THAT ARE
PRIMARILY BLUE COLLAR IN THE
STATE I RESPECTFULLY ON BEHALF
OF THE AUTHOR ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE BEFORE THAT IN- FOR
TESTIMONY OF THEIR FLOCKS TO
REPRESENT TEAMSTERS PORT
DIVISION. AND SAM APPEL THE
CALIFORNIA POLICY MANAGER THE
GREEN. THE BLUE GREEN ALLIANCE.
SURGERIES ARE YOU SIR. MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS THEIR FLOCKS- THE
TEAMSTERS PORT DIVISION WHERE A
CO SPONSOR OF THE BILL AND
WE'RE VERY PROUD TO BE PART OF
THIS COALITION IS A COALITION
OF LABOR COMMUNITY. AND
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS AND WE'VE
BEEN BROUGHT TOGETHER BY THE
BELIEF THAT WE CAN CREATE AND
WE NEED TO CREATE GOOD WELL
PAYING JOBS. IN ORDER TO MEET
OUR CLIMATE GOALS THAT CLIMATE
JUSTICE IS TIED TO ECONOMIC AND
TO RACIAL JUSTICE. LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR ARE THE
HARDEST HIT BY CLIMATE CHANGE
AND THEY SUFFER A DIST
DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE
IMPACTS. NO WHERE IS THAT MORE
CLEAR THAN AT THE PORTS AND IN
TRANSPORTATION. YOU SEE SHORT
HAUL AND DRAYAGE TRUCKS THE
HEAVIEST EMITTERS THESE ARE
HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS THEY'RE
MOVING GOODS FROM THE PORTS
THEY PUT THEM ON LONG HAUL
TRUCKS THOSE TRACKS GO ACROSS
ALL THE FREEWAYS. THEY GO TO
WAREHOUSES THERE IDOLING THERE
A MEETING MORE AND MORE TOXINS
AND ALL THE WHILE THESE ARE
pIMPORTS THEY'RE ALL UNDER THE
FREEWAYS AROUND WAREHOUSES
WORKERS AND COMMUNITIES ARE
SUFFERING. AND TRUCK DRIVERS AT
THE PORTS ARE ALSO SUFFERING
FROM MISS CLASSIFICATION. THEY
ARE JUST NOT MAKING THE WAGES
THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLETO BE
PART OF THE TRANSITION. YOU CAN
SEE FROM THE AT THE ANALYSIS
WHICH WAS AN EXCELLENT
ANALYSIS- THAT- MISCLASSIFIED
OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTED TRUCK
DRIVERS MAKE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS
THAN THOSE THAT ARE DIRECTLY
EMPLOYED. AND SO AT THE SAME
TIME THEY HAVE HIGHER CAPITAL
EXPENSES TO DO UPKEEP AND BUY
FUEL FOR THEIR TRUCKS. AND SO
MISCLASSIFIED TRUCK DRIVERS ARE
THE LEAST ABLE TO AFFORD THE
TRANSITION TO A CLEAN VEHICLES
AND YET THE STATE EXPECTS THEM
TO. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE
TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF THE
TRANSITION SO WHAT AB SEVEN
NINETY FOUR SIMPLY DOES IS IT
SAYS. THAT IN ORDER TO BE ABLE
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CLEAN

THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR AND
THANK YOU TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GONZALEZ FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD INTO SARAH AND THE AND
THE AND THE WHOLE CREW FOR-
BEING THE COALITION THIS IS IN
MY BACKYARD AND SO. FOR ME IT'S
ESPECIALLY- IMPORTANT THAT
WE'RE ALIGNING BOTH LABOR
STANDARDS- AND- OF COURSE
ADVANCING ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
OF FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE
NEARBY WHICH MANY OF OUR TRUCK
DRIVERS. I JUST WANT TO SEE-
YOU KNOW FAIR STANDARDS FOR
THEMSELVES WHILE ALSO ENSURING
THAT MORE REDUCING GHGS AND
CRITERIA AIR POLLUTANTS SO.
WITHOUT IT- LOVE TO MOVE THE
BILL INAPPROPRIATE AND- I WOULD
LOVE TO CONTINUE TO HEAR MORE
ABOUT THE DISCUSSION AS IT
MOVES FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK
YOU CENTER- BATES. THANK YOU I
WAS SUPPOSED TO OPPOSE THE BILL
BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE WE'VE
GOTTEN A GREAT PARTNERSHIP
COMING TOGETHER THAT PROJECTS
KIND OF BOTH SIDES THE AUTO
INDUSTRY AND ALL. OF THE WORK
FORCE I WILL A LAYOFF TODAY AND
HOPES THAT WE'LL SEE THOSE
AMENDMENTS WHEN IT COMES TO THE
NEXT COMMITTEE OR TO THE FLOOR.
BUT THANK YOU TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CARILLO AND THAT'S
CERTAINLY THE CO AUTHORS FOR A
HAVING THAT VERY STRONG
ENGAGEMENT ON THE ISSUES THAT
WERE IMPORTANT. TO YOU KNOW
BOTH SIDES THANK YOU. THIRTY
SEVEN DOLLARS. THE RESEARCHER I
HAVE A QUESTION SO IF YOU'RE AN
INDEPENDENT- THE OWNER OPERATOR
AND YOU WANTED TO ACCESS THE
GINGER OF FUNDS I BELIEVE THAT
WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS
PROGRAM WOULD YOU BE REQUIRED
TO BE IN A- THE LABOR AGREEMENT.
NO I MEAN I WON'T SPEAK FOR BUT
IT MAY JUST HAVE TO BE A
PROPERLY CLASSIFIED INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS SO THEY ACTUALLY
HAVE TO. YEAH THE- ON THROUGH
THE CHAIRED BY MAY- THROUGH THE
DEFINITION IS- ON PAGE SEVEN
ACTUALLY IT'S APPLICABLE LAW
VIOLATION- AND WE WORKED WITH
THE TRUCKING ASSOCIATION.
OAKLEY ANYONE WHO IS APPLYING
FOR A CARPSUBSIDY JUST HAS TO
SHOW THAT THEY DON'T HAVE AN
APPLICABLES LAW VIOLATION AND
THAT IS VERY CLEARLY WRITTEN
THAT IT IS AND I'M SATISFIED
UNABATED VIOLATION OF THE LAWS
RELATING TO MISS
CLASSIFICATION. PASS THE TIME
OF APPEAL SO WE TRIED TO MAKE
IT VERY CLEAR AND SO ANYONE WHO
DOESN'T HAVE THAT- WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE SO AN INDEPENDENT
OWNER OPERATOR EVEN IF THEY HAD
ALLEGE MISS CLASSIFICATION
AGAIN SOME WOULDN'T BE THE ONE
WITH THE JUDGMENT AGAINST THEM
IT WOULD BE- THE COMPANY. SAID
THERE WOULD BE NOTHING
PREVENTING THEM IF THEY WERE
TRULY THERE. WELL OBVIOUSLY YOU
KNOW IF THEY WERE IF. THE
FUNDING TO GET IT. RIGHT WILL.
I DON'T KNOW THE PROVISIONS OF
WHATEVER THAT WAS A THREE
EIGHTY EIGHT SEVENTY SAID THREE.
I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT BUT-
MY CONCERN IS THAT. SOME USE IN
THE CHINESE WE HAVE ALIGNMENT
NOW WITH BASICALLY PERSONAL G.
DRIVE FUNDS COME FROM EVERYBODY
IN THE STATE AND EVERYBODY
SHOULD BE ABLE TO APPLY FOR
THOSE FUNDS WHETHER YOU'RE-
PART OF A BARGAINING UNIT OR
NOT OR YOU'RE PART OF A COMPANY
THAT'S UNION OR NON UNION. AND
SO YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
FOLKS WHO WE'VE SEEN WITH THE
INFINITE CONTRACTING IN AB FIVE
IN ALL THESE RULES THAT COME
THROUGH HERE- BUT SOME PEOPLE
CHOOSE TO DO THAT I JUST WANT
THEM TO BE DISADVANTAGED BY THE
FACT THAT. IF THEY'RE NOT PART
OF- A COALITION OR A COMPANY
THAT. IS APPLYING FOR THOSE
GRANTS THAT THEY STILL HAVE THE
ABILITY TO APPLY FOR THE GRANTS
AND MEET THE CRITERIA. AND WE
KNOW THAT THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT
WERE. BASICALLY FORCING UPON
THEM. AREN'T EVEN REALLY
AVAILABLE YET IN LEAST IN THE-
FULLY HUNDRED PERCENT- NON ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES ON THE LEAST
I TO MY KNOWLEDGE I'VE BEEN
LOOKING I'M IN THE TRUCKING
BUSINESS AND I HAVE NOT SEEN
ANY THAT ARE AVAILABLE YET THAT
MEET THAT CRITERIA AND I KNOW
THIS IS SPECIFIC TO. THE PORTS
AND DRIED STRUCK SO- I'M NOT
GONNA SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY
I WANT I WANT WHAT WHAT WAS IT
SB THREE EIGHTY EIGHT THAT IS
IT IT'S IN THIS BILL AS WELL-
I'M IN. IT BASIC IF YOU ARE A
LEGITIMATE OPERATOR AND HAVE NO
VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW YOU'RE
ELIGIBLE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE
UNION MMHM YEAH. AND I JUST I
JUST AS A POINT OF
CLARIFICATION THE MISS
CLASSIFICATION OF POOR DRIVERS
PRE SEEDS AB FIVE BY A LOT THEY
WERE THOUSAND- CASES THAT THE
LATE AT THOUSAND CASES FROM THE
DRIVERS THEMSELVES FILED IN THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE
BEFORE- DYNAMICS OR AB FIVE SO
THIS IS NOT. THAT YOU KNOW AB
FIVE MAKES IT MORE CLEAR FOR A
LOT OF THINGS BUT WE'VE BEEN
DEALING WITH THIS MASK MIS
CLASSIFICATION FOR DECADES.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY MISS FOR
CLASSIFICATION GIVE ME EXAMPLE
OF WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT
SOMEBODY WHO DOESN'T HAVE A
CLASS ONE LICENSE OR IS THAT
SOMEBODY WHO. ISN'T MISS
CLASSIFICATION AS FAR AS THEIR
STATUS UNDER THE LABOR CODE
THEY'RE THEY'RE TREATED AS
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. OWNER
OPERATOR SOMETIMES AND THE PORT
INDUSTRY IT'S BEEN FOUND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN THEY ACTUALLY
ARE EMPLOYEES OF A COMPANY. AND
AND THE COMPANY IS SKIRTING THE
LAW BY CLASSIFYING THEM AS
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS SAVING
THE COMPANY ABOUT THIRTY
PERCENT. TAKING FROM THE
WORKERS THEMSELVES THESE
WORKERS THESE DRIVERS ACTUALLY
FILED SUIT THEY FILED WITH THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE AT
LIKE I SAID THIS IS THIS
PREDATES AB FIVE THIS HAS
NOTHING EVEN. TO DO WITH AB
FIVE BUT UNDER DIE I UNDER
BROWN- PREVIOUSLY- BEEN FOUND
MISCLASSIFIED AND THAT'S
THOUSAND DRIVERS AT THE PORT OF
LA. OKAY THE I WOULD JUST LIKE
TO SAY THAT. I DON'T BELIEVE
THAT YOU CAN BE. WITH THE LAWS
WE HAVE TODAY I DON'T THINK
IT'S REALLY HARD TO BE OUT OF
CLASSIFICATION IF YOU PAY AN
HOURLY WAGE. ARE YOU ACTUALLY
OWN THE TRUCK YOURSELF THERE'S
REALLY. FROM FROM MY
INTERPRETATION OF THE LAWS THAT
HAVE BEEN PASSED. ON AND WE
BROUGHT A TRUCKING BUSINESS SO
WE PAY HOURLY THERE THAT WITH
THE MATTER WHAT IT'S OUR
BECAUSE THERE'S IN YOUR NOSE
WHERE COMPLIANCE I KNOW I'M IN
COMPLIANCE THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO DON'T I COULD TELL
YOU THE STORY I'M SORRY I DON'T
WANNA GET INTO THIS BUT STORIES
OF TRUCK DRIVERS. SHE LOST ME
THEY HAD AT LEAST THEIR TRUCK
FROM THE COMPANY. AND YOU KNOW
THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR
DECADES BUT IT'S NOT YOU ARE
BEING THE JUDGE AND JURY THE
JUDGE HAS ALREADY FOUND THESE
FOLKS OUT OF COMPLIANCE WE JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THEY PAY
THE FACT IS THAT THEY'RE NOT
GETTING. TAXPAYER FUNDS IF
THEY'RE BREAKING THE LAW. HE
BUT I'M GLAD TO PAY HOURLY
THAT'S GOT. THERE'S A BY THE
WAY THERE IS A- A GOOD
DESCRIPTION OF THE ISSUES THAT
ARE DISCUSSED ON PAGE SIXTEEN
AND IT GETS INTO THE- YOU KNOW
THE LARA BILL WHERE THERE'S
THIS LIST OF CARRIERS- THAT
HAVEN'T SATISFIED COURT
JUDGMENTS AND TAX ASSESSMENTS
TAX LIENS SO. THOSE ARE THE
FOLKS WHO ARE IMPLICATED HERE.
OKAY THE BILL HAS BEEN MOVED BY
A CENTRE GONZALEZ. WHO IS A
COMING UP REALLY QUICKLY AND I
WANTED TO JUST SPECIFY AND THE
AUTHOR OF SB THREE THIRTY EIGHT
SO IF YOU WANT TO CHAT ABOUT
YOU KNOW. WHAT'S GOING ON IN
