ESTABLISHES A TIME FRAME FOR
THERMOFORM FOOD PACKAGING
MANUFACTURERS TO USE. MINIMUM
RECYCLED CONTENT INTO PLASTIC
CONTAINERS STARTING WITH 10%
THE 202420% 202730% BY TWENTY
THIRTY. THERMA FORMS ARE THE
PLASTIC CONTAINERS THAT WILL
YOU SEE IN GROCERY STORES AND
STRAWBERRIES- SALADS OR LEAFY
GREENS OR TAKE OUT CONTAINERS.
RIGHT NOW ALL APPROXIMATELY TWO
HUNDRED POUNDS OF THERMOFORM
WASTE ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR
IN CALIFORNIA WHAT MANY PEOPLE
THINK THAT THEY GET RECYCLED
MOST OFTEN ARE MORE OFTEN THAN
NOT THEY END UP IN LANDFILL
LAST YEAR I WAS VERY PROUD TO
WORK. WITH MY COLLEAGUE THE
MEMBER- WENT ON A. B. SEVEN
NINETY THREE TO ESTABLISH A-
HISTORIC MINIMUM RECYCLED
CONTENT FOR PAP PLASTIC
BEVERAGE BOTTLES. THIS BILL IS
MODELED AFTER THAT- AND IT
TURNED IT OVER TO HER TO DO A
PRESENTATION THEN WE HAVE TO
KEEP WITNESSES BOB. DAVID DUKE
WHO IS THE CEO OF OUR PLANET
EARTH AND SCOTT WILKERSON WITH.
BOND DO FRESH AMERICANS. THANK
YOU MR CHAIR AND MY JOINT
ASSEMBLYMEMBER. AV FOUR SEVEN
EIGHT IS ANOTHER BIG STEP FOR
CALIFORNIA TO TAKE THE LEAD IN
CREATING A CIRCULAR ECONOMY. IT
PROVIDES INCENTIVES TO PULL OUT
A HIGHLY RECYCLABLE MATERIAL
FROM THE WASTE STREAM. AND
THROUGH MINIMUM CONTENT
REQUIREMENTS CREATES A MARKET
FOR THE MATERIAL FURTHER THE
BILL INCREASES THE SUPPLY OF
RECYCLED P. ET WHICH IS SEEING
AN INCREASE IN DEMAND FROM
SEVERAL INDUSTRIES. WHILE THERE
REMAIN A FEW OUTSTANDING ITEMS
TO ADDRESS WE ARE CONTINUING
THAT WE ARE COMMITTED TO
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS. AND THAT INCLUDES
THE STRAWBERRY COMMISSION THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SO

COMPLETELY VERTICALLY
INTEGRATED MANUFACTURER OF
RECYCLED PET PACKAGING AND
OTHER PRODUCTS SUCH AS CHECKING
COPS. THAT ARE DERIVED FROM
POST CONSUMER PET CONTAINERS
BOTH BOTTLES AND THERMAL FORMS
AN OFFICE BUILDING THAT IS
LOCATED IN VERNON CALIFORNIA.
AT THE PRESENT TIME THERE ARE
APPROXIMATELY THREE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION POUNDS OF POSTING
SOME WITH SOME FORM OF
ENTERTAINERS DISCARDED IN
CALIFORNIA. EVERY YEAR AND
GROWING. EIGHTY FOUR SEVENTY
WILL CREATE MARKETS. AND
BECAUSE OF CONCERN CONFORM
CONTAIN. WHICH WILL DIVERT THEM
FROM LANDFILLS. THE BILL WILL
COVER DON'T WANT CONTAINERS
USED FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGES
INCLUDING ITEMS SUCH AS PRODUCE
VERY CLAM SHELL CONTAINERS
SANDWICHING FINGERS OVER TOP
SPOT. OWN TAKEOUT CONTAINERS
AND DRINKING CUPS. PURCHASERS
ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF
CERTAIN RESIN TYPES IN RECYCLED
FORM THAT ARE COMPLIANT WITH
THE FDA'S REQUIREMENTS FOR FOOD
GRADE APPLICATIONS. IN ORDER TO
USE RECYCLED MATERIALS AND
DIRECT FOOD CONTACT
APPLICATIONS THEY MUST BE SAFE.
WHICH IS TYPICALLY DETERMINED
BY OBTAINING A LETTER OF NON
OBJECTION SO KNOWN AS THE NOW.
ON A- FROM THE US FDA. 84%
EIGHT ONE TO THE FOR FOOD
STAPLE CONSUMER PRICE GLASS
SUCH PEOPLE T. R. POLY PRO.
THEY'RE BY ENCOURAGING
RECYCLERS THAT DO NOT HAVETHE
FDA'S DELANO DESIGNATION TO
OBTAIN IT BECAUSE BRAND DEMAND
WILL EXIST JUSTIFY THE
INVESTMENT REQUIRED TO COLLECT
AND RECYCLE THE VARIOUS WEAPON
TYPES. TO A FOOD GRADE QUALITY.
THERE WAS AN ANTI PROVISION IN
THIS BILL. WITH ONE OF THE
PRIMARY REASONS FOR ITS
INCLUSION IS TO FOSTER
COLLECTION AND ALLOW
MANUFACTURERS TO FACILITATE THE
PURCHASE OF RECYCLED FROM A
FORM. IN ORDER TO MEET THE
RECYCLED CONTENT TARGETS. IN
ADDITION THE PACKAGING
MANUFACTURERS WILL BE ABLE TO
WORK TOGETHER TO SET BAIL
QUALITY STANDARDS NEEDED TO
MEET SPECIFICATIONS PRECLUDES

EXCLUDE THERMAL FORMS FROM THE
COMING OPERATE THIS BILL ALSO
ADDRESS CONTAMINATION ISSUES

ENCOURAGE THE COLLECTION OF
FORMAL FORMS THAT WILL
SEPARATELY BE BAILED. IN
SUMMARY WE BELIEVE IMPROVE

AFTERNOON MISTER KERR MEMBERS
SYMPATHETIC WITH AMERICAN
CHEMISTRY COUNCIL THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY
TODAY WE CURRENTLY HAVE AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
ON THE BILL WE ARE SUPPORTIVE
OF WHAT THEY STILL SEEK TO
ACCOMPLISH HOWEVER WE DO
BELIEVE SOME AMENDMENTS ARE
NECESSARY AROUND A FEW AREAS
ONE BEING THE FEASIBILITY OF
USING RECYCLED MATERIALS AND
FOOD CONTACT PACKAGING- THE
AVAILABLE. SUPPLY OF RIGHT
RECYCLED RESIN THAT'S CURRENTLY
IN THE MARKET PLACE. TO MEET
THE MANDATE PROPOSED IN THE
BILL. CAN PROVIDE MANY FACTORS
WITH SOME ADDITIONAL COMPLIANCE
FLEXIBILITY. GIVEN CURRENT
MARKET CONDITIONS RECLAMATION
CAPACITY AND U. S. FDA
REQUIREMENTS FOR USING RECYCLED
RATHER THAN IN FOOD PACKAGING.
HI IT'S ARGUED THAT THE
AVAILABLE LIVE RECYCLED RESIN
THAT I'M LIKELY TO BE
SUFFICIENT. TO ACHIEVE THE
MANDATE OF PERCENTAGES. WE HAVE
BEEN ENGAGED CONVERSATION WITH
THE AUTHOR AND HALF OF THOSE.
FROM LANGUAGE YOUR GRASSY
CONCERN. THOSE CHANGES WOULD
PROVIDE MANUFACTURERS WITH SOME
ADDITIONAL COMPLIANCE TIME
ALLOW FOR POWER CYCLE YEAH HE
RESPECTED CONTENT PERCENTAGES.
FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTY
FEE OR BOTH BASED ON CERTAIN
CRITERIA INCLUDING THE
AVAILABLE TO BUY RECYCLED
RESIN. AND REQUIRE POWER CYCLE
THE BY THE LEGISLATURE WITH.
SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON AN
ONGOING BASIS HOW MANY REVENUE
GENERATED FROM THE
ADMINISTRATIVE. PENALTIES ARE
BEING SPENT. WE REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT TO WORK WITH
THE. AUTHORS IN THE SPA. AT THE

CONTINUE TO DISCUSSION ENOUGH
TO CRAFT THE FEASIBLE- AND
GLOBAL FILL. THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR THE OP TO TODAY. THANK YOU
SIR AND I NOTE THAT- THERE IS
ENOUGH WITNESS ENOUGH. MISS
GAIL DELAHUNT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND I AM GAIL DEL HANA AND
I REPRESENT WHAT YOUR GROWERS
ASSOCIATION OUR MEMBERS GROW
FRESH PRODUCE IN CALIFORNIA
ARIZONA COLORADO AND NEW MEXICO.
WE ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
RECYCLING THE PLASTIC
CONTAINERS WE USE THAT PROTECT
THE INTEGRITY OF OUR PRODUCE.
HOWEVER WE HAVE THREE MAJOR
CONCERNS WITH THIS BILL. AND
ARE POSING LESS AMENDED AT THE
TIME. WE HAVE TO JERK BUT WE
HAVE SHARED THESE CONCERNS WITH
THE AUTHOR AND CO AUTHOR AND
PROVIDED THEM WITH THEM JUST
SUGGESTED AND THEN THAT. FIRST
THE BILL DOES NOT PROVIDE
DISCRETION FOR CAL RECYCLE TO
EXTEND THE COMPLIANCE RATE
GREAT. IF THE RECYCLED CONTENT
IN THERMOFORM PACKAGING IS NOT
AVAILABLE IN SUFFICIENT
QUANTITIES. AT REASONABLE
PRICES. THE SUBJECTING FARMERS
TO ENFORCEMENT YOUR NO FAULT OF
THEIR OWN. EVERY OTHER AGENCY
HAS HAD AND STILL HAVE HOT
BUTTON. ALLOW FOR UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. SECOND THE BILL
EXEMPTS MANUFACTURERS FROM THE
COURT RIGHT ACT THAT DOES NOT
GUARANTEE THAT ONCE AN ENTITY
IS FORMED AND GATHERS UP ALL
THE THERMOFORM CLAM SHELLS WE
CAN ACTUALLY GET THAT APPLIED
THAT. WE ARE CONCERNED THE
SUPPLY WILL GET SOLD OFF THE
TEXT FILE. WHICH IN TURN DRIVES
UP OUR SUPPLY. TODAY THE POST
CONSUMER P. E. T. BOTTLES ARE
UP THREE HUNDRED PERCENT. BUT
THERE IS ALREADY A MAJOR
DISRUPTION IN THE MARKET. THIRD
THE BILLS EXEMPTION FOR THE
FARMER IN THE FIELD DOES NOT
ACCOUNT FOR THE FARMERS WHO
HARVEST THEIR CROP. TO THE
COOLING FACILITY AND THEN
PACKAGES IT FOR SHIPPING. THE
BILL THREE FARMERS WITH THE
MANUFACTURERS FOR SIMPLY USING
THERMOFORMED CONTAINERS TO SELL
THEIR PRODUCE. WHILE FRMERS
ARE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
PURCHASING RECYCLED CONTAINERS
THEY ARE IN THE FOOD GROWING
BUSINESS NOT THE PLASTIC
CONTAINER MANUFACTURING THE- WE
ASK THAT YOU CALL THE COMMITTEE

AFTER THE CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRY
COMMISSION WITH AN OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION AS WELL
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. AND WE
HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENT THANK
YOU AT THIS TIME ALL RIGHTY
WELL LET'S COME BACK TO THE
FLOOR- MEMBERS WHO WISH TO ASK
QUESTIONS- CENTER WHITE HOUSE
YES YEAH MISTER TURNER I'M
LOOKING FOR CLARIFICATION ON
THE DEFINITION. OF THE COMPACT
COMMINGLING RATE THEORY RECENT
AMENDMENTS AFTER OR BEFORE-
AFTER HE Q. TALK ABOUT THE FORM
OF THE PLASTIC MATERIAL VERSUS
THE TYPE OF THE TYPE IS THE
RESIN IS THE IS THE SAME. AS
THE ONE BUT WE'RE SEPARATING
RATHER THAN WE'RE SEPARATING
BOTH OF THEM AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND. THE IMPLICATIONS OF
THAT IF THE RESIN IS THE SAME
AT AN END I GUESS THE REASON
FOR. RT ASSEMBLYMEMBER TING I
WAS ON THAT- MISTER- DAVID TO
CANCER THAT. DAVID ARE YOU
AVAILABLE. I AM I'M HERE YES-
THE REASON WHY WE'RE LOOKING TO
HAVE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
CONTAINER SEPARATED OUT BECAUSE
WITH THE B. SEVEN NINETY THREE
BOTTLES ARE REALLY GOING TO END
UP BEING RECYCLED AND MR TO GO
BACK INTO BOTTLES. AND GIVE
THEM A FORMS ARE NOT SEGREGATED
OUT- THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THAT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE SAME
SITUATION THAT WE'VE HAD UP TO
THIS POINT WHICH IS WHERE THEY
ARE NOT COLLECTED- AND MOST
AMANDA BEING SENT TO LANDFILL
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PLATFORM CONTAINERS ARE
AVAILABLE FOR RECYCLING TO GO
BACK INTO. NORMAL FORMS ARE
ALSO SOME- PROPERTIES THERMAL
FORMS- THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT
THROUGH THE IVIES ARE LOWER
THAN BOTTLES AND THEY REALLY
ARE COMPATIBLE TO BE RECYCLED
WITH BOTTLES EITHER MOST OF THE
BOTTLE RECYCLERS WILL SPEAK
AROUND THE STATE. THEY HAVE NO.
THERMAL FORMS IN THE DALES
WHATSOEVER. MISTER CHAIR BUT
THAT WE GET INTO THAT'S THE
TYPE BIKE I GET THAT THE PET
ONE AND THE PET FOR A GUY I SEE
THAT SEPARATION I'D LIKE. ALL
MANUFACTURERS TO BE PEP ONE THE
QUESTION IS THAT. 80% OF. THE
BOTTLES THAT ARE RECYCLED NEVER
GET TO CURBSIDE THEY GO
DIRECTLY TO RECYCLING CENTER
THERE CO MINGLED WITH OTHER
PLASTICS SO THAT. YOU'RE ONLY
DEALING WITH 12% OF THE WORLD
AND- I KNOW A SENATOR THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE. OF THE
RECYCLING TO RECYCLERS VERSUS
CURBSIDE SO THAT WORLD WOULD
SHRINK THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE
THAT ABANDONED THEIR THEIR
BOTTLES SO IT'S ONLY A SMALL
PERCENTAGE PROBABLY SINGLE
DIGITS. AT THE END OF THE DAY
THAT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT BUT IF
WE FOCUS ON THE TYPE. IT WILL
GET MORE BANG BANG OUT OF THAT
BECAUSE- THEY'LL BE THE BOTTLES
WILL BE GOING TO THE RECYCLERS
AND THE OTHER PLASTICS. WE GET
IN BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT
THERE'S JUST A LOOP ON THE-
THE- THE- CLAM SHELLS RIDER IN
THE INCOME COLLECTING THESE
THINGS- IT'S A CONCERN. THAT
THE IN THE BIG IN THE LONG RUN
HI I DON'T WANT US TO CREATE A
BUNCH OF WORK FOR PEOPLE. WE'RE
WE'RE WE'RE NOT. IT IS MORE
IMPORANT FOR US TO GET TO THE-
THE MANUFACTURING OF THE-
MATERIAL SO THAT IT'S IN TAP
ONE AND IT'S ALL IN THAT IN
THAT CLOSE LOOP- I URGE THE
AUTHORS TO. TO WORK ON THAT
BECAUSE WE HAVE A BUT- WE MAY
BE SHIFTING SOME COSTS HERE FOR
PEOPLE THAT ARE AT THE- WASTE
TREATMENT PLANT PLANTS- FOR A
VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF RECOVERY
WHERE WE COULD TACKLE MINGLE
RATE. IF IT'S IF I'M SEPARATING
CONTAMINATION FROM MAYONNAISE
FROM CONTAMINATION WITH. ONE
IMPACT TWO AND THREE SO THAT'S
THAT'S A DIFFERENT BED I THINK
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN THERE
KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
THE SUBJECT JUST- LET SEVERAL
ACCOUNTS KENO- THROUGH THE
CHAIR THAT THE BEVERAGE BOTTLE
MANUFACTURERS ACTUALLY HAVE
OTHER SIMILAR ISSUES AND SO WE
ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO
ADDRESS IT. SPECIALLY WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF SEVEN NINETY
THREE WE DEFINITELY WANT TO
ECONOMY FOR THE BEVERAGE
BOTTLES AS WELL. PARTY THANK
YOU SEVERAL CASKEY- SEEING NO
OTHER MICROPHONES RAISED- IS
THERE A MOTION. WELL LET'S
LET'S DO THIS WE WE'VE
ESTABLISHED A QUORUM ACTUALLY-
LOOK USER IS OUR MOTION.
SENATOR ALSO MOVES THE BILL.
ALL RIGHT WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE
SOMEONE MEMBER IRWIN OR TANG
OKAY I JUST WANT TO SAY WE ARE
CONTINUING TO AGAIN AS I
MENTIONED WORK WITH ALL THE
DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS AND ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT WAS
MENTIONED WAS- THE DEFINITION
OF PRODUCER AND WE'RE LOOKING
AT SWITCHING THAT TO- THE
THERMOFORM ABOUT PURCHASER SO.
THESE ARE WE WANT THIS BILL TO
WORK AND WE WANT THIS TO BE
FIXED REALLY SOMETHING THAT IS-
THAT IS- TREND SETTING IN THE
WORLD THIS IS OUR BILL LAST
YEAR WAS SO WE'RE GONNA MAKE
SURE TO GET THIS RIGHT. THANK
YOU. ANYTHING FURTHER NOTHING

IS AN ISSUE THAT. A HE- SEVEN
FIVE ONE I'M SORRY I CAN'T AND
I'M GREAT I'M JUST TOO OLD.
HELLO. THANK YOU NECKS NEXT
RECORD. AND WE DO NOT HAVE
ANYMORE IN CUBA SHELTER OKAY WE
SEEN WAS CLOSE THE PUBLIC
HEARING BRING IT BACK TO-
MEMBERS FOR QUESTIONS- A SEVEN
MEMBER- WHEN I WILL- ASK IT IT
DID THE BILL REMOVES SUNSET
DATE THAT WAS SET IN A. B. AT
TWENTY SIX THIRTY SIX AND AS WE
HEARD FROM SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION THERE IS A CONCERN
OF. THE AFTER THE MORATORIUM
BIOMETRICS AND FACIAL
RECOGNITION- TECHNOLOGY WHICH
IS IN. DEVELOPED BEING USED IN.
A BODY HURT THE YEAR WITH THE
OPPOSITION- THE. WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING ON THAT EFFORT VERSUS
CONTINUING- EXTENDING THE
SUNSET AND HAVING THE
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED. OKAY SO
THE PERSISTENT THIS REMOVES THE
SUNSET TO ALLOW COUNTY
RECORDERS TO CONTINUE TO. GIVE
VITAL RECORDS OF REMOTELY SO
THAT'S THE ONE SENSE SUNSET WE
ALIGNED IT BECAUSE OF THE
CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY SOME OF
THE PRIVACY ORGANIZATIONS WE
DID SAY WE WOULD DO A THREE
YEAR MORATORIUM ON ISSUES LIKE
USING BIOMETRICS OR FACIAL
RECOGNITION VALVE MAKE REALLY
CLEAR. THE MAIN THING WE WANT
IS TO FOLLOW NEW STANDARDS AND
WHEN ONE OF THE CALLERS SAID WE
SANCTIONED THE USE OF FACIAL
RECOGNITION WHICH IN THIS
STANDARD SAY IS NOT READY FOR
PRIME TIME I THINK THAT'S A
LITTLE BIT DISINGENUOUS BECAUSE
NO STANDARDS ARE THE GOLD
STANDARD AND WHAT WE WANT TO DO
IS PROTECT OUR VERY MOST
PRIVATE INFORMATION SO. COUNTY
RECORDERS DO NOT USE FACIAL
RECOGNITION OR BIOMETRICS
REMOTELY THEY USE- THEY VERIFY
IDENTITIES THROUGH KNOWLEDGE
BASED SYSTEMS WHAT WE'RE SAYING
IS A FEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD IF
THESE- TECHNOLOGY. SHOW PROMISE
IT WOULD BE A WAY TO GUARANTEE
YOUR PRIVACY SO THAT SOMEBODY
ELSE IS NOT ABLE TO GET YOUR
RECORDS SO WE WANTED TO LEAVE
THAT OPEN AND SEE HOW THE
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPED. JUST AS
MR FIT MR TING'S BILL- DID ALSO
AND IT IS ALSO A LITTLE
DISINGENUOUS TO SAY GOVERNMENT
IS NOT ALREADY USING OF A
BIOMETRIC DATA BECAUSE WHEN YOU
HAVE A NOTARIZATION OF YOUR YOU
KNOW A MORTGAGE OR TITLE. YOU
ARE USING BIOMETRICS THOSE ARE
FINGERPRINTS SO AGAIN COUNTY
RECORDERS HAVE NO EXPECTATION
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE THIS
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF A FEW YEARS
DOWN THE ROAD IT TURNS OUT THAT
THESE KNOWLEDGE BASED SYSTEMS
START TO BE HACKED WELL THEN
YOU WOULD HAVE TO DEVELOP. A
WHOLE SYSTEM AT A BANK OF-
PERHAPS SOME PRINTS AND COMPARE
TO THEM NONE OF THAT IS
AVAILABLE CURRENTLY BUT BECAUSE
I AM THE- EURO I I'M VERY
INVOLVED WITH- CYBER SECURITY I
KNOW THAT THE MOST CRUCIAL
THING IS KEEPING YOUR PRIVATE
INFORMATION PRIVATE WHICH IS.
WHY I FIND THE ARGUMENTS OF THE
OPPOSITION SO DISINGENUOUS.
OKAY I MEAN BECAUSE THESE ARE
SOME GROUPS THAT WE- RELY ON TO
PROVIDE US WITH YOU KNOW WHEN
THEY'RE DEVELOPING OUR-
THEORIES ON- THE WHAT IS A DATA
SECURITY WHAT IS A PRIVACY
BREACH AND TRY AGAIN THEY'VE-
THEY'VE RAISED THE POINT THAT
THIS IS THE FIRST. STATUTE THAT
EXPLICITLY WILL ALLOW FOR- THE
USE OF FACIAL SERVING OTHERS
THREE YEARS CENTERS NO THERE IS
NO LANGUAGE ON THAT ALL THE
LANGUAGE SAYS IS THAT WE ARE
ABIDING BY THE HIGHEST SECURITY
STANDARDS WHICH IS NO STANDARDS
AND THEN. SPECIFICALLY THEY
WERE CONCERNED THAT BECAUSE-
THIS IS A VERY VERY LONG GUIDE
MENTIONS OF BIOMETRIC DATA OR
FACIAL RECOGNITION THAT THE
COUNTY RECORDER'S WOULD BE
USING IT THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY NOT
USING IT. IT'S JUST LISTED IN
THE NEST STANDARDS. OKAY.
SENATORS OFFICES HERE MAX THANK
YOU MR CHAIR AND- I TOO WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR I KNOW YOU DO
A LOT OF WORK IN THIS SPACE- AS
I HAVE IN THE PAST AS WELL AND
SO I WANT I KNOW YOU'VE DONE
YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND I
APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE
AMENDMENTS AND ENSURING THAT-
NO OTHER MUNICIPAL AGENCY OR
THIRD PARTY OR STATE AGENCY-
FOR ANY PURPOSES SHALL
DISTRIBUTE OR SHARE THIS
INFORMATION WHICH I THINK IS
ALREADY- REALLY A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO MOVE
FORWARD HERE- IN ADDITION TO
THE NEST ELECTRONIC
AUTHENTICATION- GUIDELINES
OFFER THE MULTI LAYERED-
IDENTITY PROOFING WHICH I THINK
IS WONDERFUL. NOW I'M JUST
BUILDING OFF OF WHAT SENATOR-
WE'LL GET WITH THE CHAIR HAD
MENTIONED ABOUT THE BIOMETRICS
BECAUSE I DO SHARE THAT CONCERN
AS WELL BIOMETRICS IN ADDITION
TO FINGERPRINTS COULD BE YOU
KNOW RIGHT NOW I YOUR IRIS-
YOUR FACE OF COURSE RECOGNITION
WHICH I KNOW IS IT'S GOTTEN A
LOT OF HEAT BACK HOME AND IN MY
DISTRICT SO CAN YOU. CAN YOU
ELABORATE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND
WHAT TYPES OF BIOMETRICS COULD
BE USED AFTER- IF THIS SHOULD
BE IN A MOVE AFTER THREE YEARS
I MEAN I IT WOULD BE AGAIN THE
TECHNOLOGY IS NOWHERE NEAR
READY FOR REPORTERS TO USE THEY
DON'T HAVE THE VENDOR THAT USES
IT THEY ARE NOT PLANNING ON
USING IT IT'S JUST MENTIONED IN
THIS BUT IF YOU WANT AN EXAMPLE
OF HOW YOUR YOUR- BIOMETRICS
PROTECT YOUR DATA YOUR IPHONE
READS YOUR FACE AND- THAT THAT
IS A ONE WAY THAT- IT IS MUCH
SAFER THAN- USING YOUR PASSPORT
A PASSWORD TO MAKE SURE THAT
NOBODY HAS ACCESS TO YOUR
PHONE. BUT AGAIN THERE IS NO
TECHNOLOGICAL WAY THAT
REPORTERS WOULD DO THIS THEY
WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE A
DATABASE THEY WOULD HAVE TO
COLLECT FOR THE DATABASE AND
THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO COMPARE
TO THE DATABASE THE ONLY PLACE
THAT I HAVE REALLY SEEN THIS
HAPPENED IS AT THE AIRPORT.
WITH CLEAR SO THE REASON THE
WEIGHT CLEAR WORKS THAT- YOU.
YOU WOULD. WILLINGLY PUT YOUR
FACE INTO A DATABASE AND YOU
ARE COMPARED EVERY TIME YOU GO
TO THE THREE SECURITY TO THAT
DATABASE. BUT THERE IS NO
INTENTION HERE OF DOING THAT AT
ALL. WE ONLY TOOK THE AMENDMENT
BECAUSE OF THE PRIVACY GROUPS
THAT WERE CONCERNED THAT IN THE
NEXT STANDARDS WHICH ARE AGAIN
THE STANDARDS USED BY. STATES
AND TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES AND
DRIVE YOU KNOW YOU COME FROM A
TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND. THE
HIGHEST LEVEL STANDARDS AND
THEY THAT THOSE STANDARDS GO
THROUGH- EVERY POSSIBLE THING
THAT HAS TO DO WITH CYBER
SECURITY SO. THEY MENTION
FACIAL RECOGNITION AND AGAIN IN
THERE THEY SAID THAT THERE IS A
PROBLEM WITH IDENTIFYING PEOPLE
OF COLOR. THEY DON'T RECOMMEND
USING IT BUT THEY DO
CONTINUALLY UPDATE THAT- THOSE
STANDARDS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE THE VERY HIGHEST LEVEL.
YEAH AND I HAVE AND I
APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH I
WILL- PROBABLY LAY OFF OF THE
BILL TODAY JUST CONSIDERING THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS RELATED AND ALTHOUGH
IT'S JUST AN ESTIMATE. YOU
DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE
RECORDERS WILL BE UTILIZING
THAT. IN THE IMMEDIATE IT'S
POSSIBLE THAT THEY COULD.
ANSWER THAT- WHERE I SORT OF
HAVE THE ISSUE THERE BUT I
WOULD LOVE TO CHAT WITH YOU
MORE ABOUT THAT AND THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR ANSWERING MY
QUESTIONS. CENTRE COVER YEAH
YOUR RECORD HIGHS WILL DEVELOP.
SEEING NO OTHER MIKES UP THERE
IS A MOTION BY CENTRE COVER
EURO- THIS SET A SIMILAR IRVINE
AS I JUST SAID YOU'RE
UNDERSTAND. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE
HAVE THAT LANGUAGE IN THE BILL
THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE
IT BUT- IT'S M. S. I HAVE SENT
MY CONCERNS ALSO SO YOU MAY
CLOSE. YEAH I JUST- I WANT TO
REITERATE WE JUST WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT THE COUNTY RECORDERS
ARE ABLE TO MAINTAIN
CONVENIENCE TO AND SAFE ACCESS

FOR A LOAN ME TO. JUMP IN HERE
REAL QUICK MEMBERS I'M HERE TO
PRESENT- THAT'S J. R. SEVEN AS
CHAIR OF A LEGISLATIVE BLACK-CAUCUS I THINK THIS IS A
CRITICAL. THE ISSUE AS IT
RELATES TO- WRITING THAT A
TERRIBLE WRONG THOUGH. IN THIS
NATION AND THIS MEASURE CALLS
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF A MORAL
RECORDINGS AND TRANSCRIPTS OF
THE REVEREND DR MARTIN LUTHER
KING JUNIOR. DR MELISSA KING
JUNIOR LED THE MODERN CIVIL
RIGHTS MOVEMENT FOR OVER
THIRTEEN YEARS. AND FROM HIS
ELECTION AS A SPOKESMAN FOR THE
MONTGOMERY IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATION IN DECEMBER OF
NINETEEN FIFTY FIVE UNTIL IT
SAYS THE NATION FIFTY THREE
YEARS AGO WHILE STANDING. ON
THE BALCONY OF HIS ROOM AT THE
LORRAINE MOTEL. DR KING WAS
UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE
TODAY DR KING IS ONE OF THE
MOST REVERED LEADERS THIS
COUNTRY AND THIS WORLD HAS EVER
KNOWN. THIS GREAT MAN'S LEGACY
CHALLENGE THE MORAL COMPASS OF
THIS NATION CREATING A SURGE OF
GENES RELATED TO EQUITY
EQUALITY AND JUSTICE. DR KING
BELIEVED IN THE WORDS OF HIS
LIFE TO ENSURE. THAT THE FULL
PROMISES OF THIS COUNTRY WILL
REALIZE FOR ALL HUMAN BEINGS
REGARDLESS OF RACE COLOR OR
CREED. THE FBI BEGAN MONITORING
DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR IN
DECEMBER OF NINETEEN FIFTY FIVE
DURING HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE
MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT
SUPPOSEDLY BUT WRONG FEE SOUL
BECAUSE OF CONNECTIONS WITH THE
COMMUNIST PARTY. FBI DIRECTOR
J. EDGAR HOOVER WAS
AGGRESSIVELY HOSTILE AND
OBSESSED TOWARDS DR. KING
ORDERED HIS AGENTS TO ENGAGE IN
COVERT OPERATIONS AGAINST HIM.
OPERATIONS LIKE THE
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
WHICH WAS CREATED TO
INVESTIGATE BLACK NATIONALIST
HATE GROUPS TARGETED. AUTHORS
THE N. DOUBLE ACP AND OTHERS
STILL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS
LEADERS JUST TO NAME A FEW.
UNDER THE FBI'S DOMESTIC
COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM DR
KING HIS FAMILY AND ASSOCIATES
WERE SUBJECTED TO VARIOUS KINDS
OF FBI SURVEILLANCE THE FBI
EVEN SENT DR KING A NOTE URGING
HIM TO COMMIT SUICIDE IN ORDER
TO AVOID HUMILIATION OF THE
RELEASE OF THESE PUBLIC.
ILLEGALLY GATHERED TAKES AND
RECORDINGS AND TRANSCRIPTS.
THAT THE FBI HAD- RECORDED IN
SECURE ACCORDING TO A US SENATE
COMMITTEE CONVENED IN THE
NINETEEN SEVENTIES TO
INVESTIGATE THE FBI DOMESTIC
INTELLIGENCE OPERATIONS THE
COMMITTEE TO TERMING THE
FOLLOWING. RATHER THAN TRYING
TO DISCREDIT THE LEADS
COMMUNISTS TO IT BELIEVES WERE
ATTEMPTING TO INFLUENCE DR KING
THE GENERAL INSTEAD ADOPTED A
CURIOUS TACTIC OF TRYING TO
DISCREDIT THE SUPPOSED TARGET
OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY'S
INTERESTS. BEING DR KING
HIMSELF THESE RECORDINGS ARE
SCHEDULED TO BE RELEASED BY THE
NATIONAL ARCHIVES IN TWO
THOUSAND AND TWENTY SEVEN. WHAT
THE FBI DID TO DR KING AND
OTHERS WAS UNLAWFUL VAN AND
IT'S A LAWFUL TODAY IT WAS IN A
LOSS OF LAWFUL INVASION OF
PRIVACY. FURTHERMORE THIS WAS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL SEARCH UNDER
THE FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE
UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION. THE
FBI LAW ENFORCEMENT AND LOCAL
POLICE FORCES HAVE USED THESE
SURVEILLANCE TACTICS TO TARGET
BLACK PEOPLE AND OTHERS
FIGHTING FOR RACIAL JUSTICE FOR
DECADES THEY EVEN USE IT TODAY.
AND YET WE CAN SEE THE STATUS
BEING CONTINUED. TO BE USED TO
TARGET BLACK ACTIVISTS IN ORDER
ORGANIZATIONS AS RECENTLY AS
LAST YEAR AFTER THE MURDER OF
GEORGE FLOYD. FOR EXAMPLE BLACK
ACTIVISTS IN SAN FRANCISCO HAD
TO SUE THE CITY AND THE COUNTY
OF SAN FRANCISCO LAST YEAR
BECAUSE OF UNLAWFUL
SURVEILLANCE TACTICS. THIS IS
WHY THIS RESOLUTION IS NOT ONLY
CALLS FOR THESE UNLAWFUL TAPES
TO BE DESTROYED IT ALSO CALLS
FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO
ROUTE PREVENT. SIMILAR ABUSES
THIS RESOLUTE RESOLUTION
FOCUSES ATTENTION ON THE
FAILURE IN OUR HISTORY THAT
MUST BE CORRECTED. LEAST WE
IGNORE- ISIS UNLESS WE HAVE A
NOR IT AND CONTINUE TO PREPARE
PREPARED TO WAIT THE SAME
INJUSTICE AGAINST OTHER CIVIL
RIGHTS ACTIVISTS I THINK
MEMBERS HISTORY SPOKEN FOR
ITSELF AND THESE TAPES NEED TO
BE RE SPORTS STORY I MEAN
DESTROYED I'M SORRY AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT. LIKE DR
KING AND SEVERAL NOTABLE CIVIL
RIGHTS ACTIVIST AT THE TIME THE
FBI INVESTIGATED THE N. DOUBLE
ACP FOR SUPPOSED CONNECTIONS
WITH THE COMMUNIST PARTY. THE
INVESTIGATIVE TACTICS USED
RANGED FROM PLANTING INFORMANTS
AND BUGGING HOTELS IN HOUSE
PHONES AMONGST OTHER THINGS BUT
NO ONE DEALT WITH THE BURDEN OF
THE INTENSE UNWARRANTED
SURVEILLANCE. MORE THAN DR
KING. THE FBI DID EVERYTHING IN
THEIR POWER TO INFRINGE UPON DR
KING'S RIGHT UNDER THE PRETENSE
OF PROTECTING THIS COUNTRY FROM
COMMUNIST FROM COMMUNISM. THE
FBI SURVEILLANCE RECORDINGS OF
DR KING. WE MADE WITH THE
INTENTION TO DISCREDIT HIS
LEADERSHIP IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT AS A WHOLE. DR KING
LIVED THE LAST YEARS OF HIS
LIFE WITHOUT ANY SEMBLANCE OF
PRIVACY WHILE CARRYING THE
TREMENDOUS BURDEN OF BEING A
BLACK PERSON IN AMERICA. LET US

LET'S CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING
ON A PETITION IN SUPPORT ARE
THE MEMBERS HAVING QUESTIONS
CENTER BORDERS. YOU RECOGNIZE.
THE RESEARCH RESEARCHER ALEX
SEGMENT- ME RECORDS POSE A
QUESTION FOR YOU TOO THE AUTHOR
IF HE'D BE WILLING TO ACCEPT
VERY GOOD- DO YOU HAVE ANY
CONCERN THAT THESE MATERIALS
ARE OF SUCH HISTORIC IN
ACADEMIC VALUE THAT TO DESTROY
THEM WOULD BE- SIGNIFICANT LOSS.
TO THE BACKGROUND FROM THAT ERA
ESPECIALLY AS WE'VE GONE
THROUGH- THE CULTURAL AND
SOCIAL CHANGES RIGHT NOW AND
WILL CONTINUE FOR SOME TIME
THAT THESE THINGS OFFER
SIGNIFICANT VALUE. AS MANY
THOUGHTS ON THE FUTURE CENTER
ROGER PLEASE- WHAT HISTORICAL
VALUE OR CULTURAL VALUE DOES IT
HAVE TO LEGALLY LARGECAP
SOMEONE BE IT IN THE PRIVACY OF
THEIR OWN HOME INTO THEIR OWN
PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN OFFICE. OR
IN THEIR HOTEL ROOM I SEE
ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE TO. CULTURE
TO SOCIETY TO THIS NATION OR TO
THE WORLD FOR ILLEGALLY GAINED
WIRETAPS OF A PRIVATE CITIZEN
WELL I THINK YOU JUST ANSWERED
THAT. MAYBE IN YOUR EARLIER
STATEMENTS THAT THIS IS OF
SERVICE SUCH SYMBOLIC
IMPORTANCE WITH THE OVER REACH
OF LA ENFORCEMENT. THAT THIS
IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF HOW
THINGS SHOULD NOT BE DONE. AND
WITH THAT YOU KNOW IT HAS
HISTORICALLY BEEN ACADEMIC
VALUE DOES IT NOT. THE STORY OF
THE LEGAL WIRETAPPING ITSELF
DOES THE CONTENT OF THE WIRE
TAP NO THERE IS NO VALUE AND
WHATEVER. OFFHAND THE
CONVERSATIONS DR KING MIGHT
HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH
ASSOCIATES FRIENDS AND FAMILY
THAT BRINGS NO VALUE WHATSOEVER
THE FACT THAT IT WAS LEGALLY
DONE I THINK IT'S A LESSON TO
BE LEARNED HERE WILL HOLD THIS
GOVERNMENT HAS INTRUDED
ESPECIALLY ON PEOPLE OF COLOR.
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADERS FOR NUMBER
OF YEARS A DOCTOR KING WAS
ALIVE. IN IT F ITSELF THAT
STORY NEEDS TO BE TWELVE BUT
WHAT WAS RECORDED THAT WAS
CAPTURED ILLEGALLY NOT A SINGLE
PERSON IN THIS ROOM RIGHT HERE
THAT WANT THEIR HOME OR THEIR
OFFICES ILLEGALLY WIRETAPPING
HOPE THAT. FIFTY YEARS LATER IT
WOULD BE. THOUGHT TO BE
EDUCATIONAL IN ANY SENSE OF THE
MAGIC NEXT. THANK YOU HI- I
PERSONALLY THINK THAT MANY OF
THE POINTS THAT MINE THAT MY-COLLEAGUE HAS HAS MADE. ARE
MERITORIOUS. EVEN IF WE DON'T
LIKE HOWEVER ON HOW THINGS
WERE- OBTAINED IN THIS CASE
PATENTLY ILLEGAL. THAT- OUR
SCHOLARS- WILL DRAW UPON THESE
IN THE YEARS AHEAD IN TO.
REMOVE FROM THE ARCHIVE. ACCESS
TO THOSE I KIND OF. THE SHOE ON
THE OTHER FOOT AND I RESPECT
WHAT HE'S ABSOLUTELY TRYING TO
DO- IF- IF. THE SHOE WERE ON
THE OTHER FOOT AND- FOLKS WERE
TRYING TO GET THE BRITISH
ARCHIVES TO DESTROY THE RECORDS
OF GANDHI I THINK THERE MIGHT
BE AN ISSUE- THAT WE CAN LEARN
FROM. AND I DON'T LIKE WHAT
HAPPENED I THINK IT'S WRONG IT
WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL IT WAS
ILLEGAL. BUT THERE IS
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE- THAT I
THINK WE COULD BE LOSING- IF
WE- TOSS IT OUT. JULIE NOTED
OTHER MEMBERS WHO HAVE.
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION. THING
IN CENTER PRESS FOR YOU MAY
CLOSE. THANK YOU THIS YEAR- IN
DR KING'S CLOSING REMARKS AT
THE END OF WAYS TO BE
EMANCIPATION DAY RALLY IN
NINETEEN FIFTY SEVEN DR KING
ELOQUENTLY STATED THERE'S
NOTHING GREATER IN THE WORLD
THAN FREEDOM. IT'S WORTH GOING
TO JAIL FOR IT'S WORTH LOSING A
JOB FOR IT'S WORTH DYING FOR.
AND UNFORTUNATELY DR KING DIED
FOR THAT FREEDOM UNFORTUNATELY
DID NOT LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO
EXPERIENCE THE FREEDOM THAT HE
HAD HOPED FOR AND THAT HE HAD
FOUGHT FORCE SO VIOLENTLY
THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE. FOR THE
LAST FOUR AND A HALF YEARS OF
HIS LIFE FROM NOVEMBER NINETEEN
SIXTY THREE UNTIL HIS DEATH IN
APRIL NINETEEN SIXTY EIGHT DR
KING LIVE WITHOUT ANY SEMBLANCE
OF PRIVACY. OR FREEDOM. THIS
RESOLUTION IS JUST A FIRST STEP
TOWARD RIGHTING THE WRONGS DR

PUBLIC IN THE SENATE GALLERY MR
OSCAR PLEASE FOR C. THANK YOU
MR CHAIR MEMBERS OF BURNING A
ROSTER WITH CALIFORNIA CABLE
AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS
ASSOCIATION WE ARE OPPOSED TO
AB ELEVEN HUNDRED. THE U. S.
HOMELAND SECURITY HAS
DESIGNATED SIXTEEN CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS SECTORS
THAT ARE VITAL AND CRITICAL TO
THE ECONOMY AND PUBLIC SAFETY
OF THE COUNTRY- COMMUNICATIONS
IS ONE OF THOSE AND FOR THAT
REASON INFORMATION ABOUT THOSE
INFRASTRUCTURES ARE CONSIDERED.
CONFIDENTIAL WE ARE NOT OPPOSED
TO SHARE INFORMATION WITH STATE
AGENCIES ABOUT OUR RESTORATION
EFFORTS AND OUTAGES WHEN THEY
OCCUR IN FACT IN TWENTY
NINETEEN. THIS LEGISLATURE
ADOPTED A NEW LAW THAT REQUIRES
US WITHIN AN HOUR OF DISCOVERY
MANAGES TO SHARE THAT
INFORMATION WITH TELL- YES
WHICH WE DO IT'S ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED. WHAT WAS THE EXTENT
OF THE DAMAGE- WHEN DID WE
RESTORE IT SO THAT INFORMATION
IS PROVIDED TO THE STATE AND IS
PROVIDED TO CALLAWAY S. WHICH
IS THE EMERGENCY RESPONSE
AGENCY. SO WHAT ARE THE
CONCERNS WE HAVE HERE IS THAT
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
IS GOING TO TAKE THAT
INFORMATION AN MAKE IT PUBLIC
MAKE IT PUBLICLY AVAILABLE.
WHICH IS OUR CONCERN IS THAT WE
DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TIMING IS
BETTER DISCLOSURE OF THAT
INFORMATION. CURRENT LAW TODAY
ALREADY REQUIRES THAT WHEN
COMMUNICATION NETWORKS ARE
DESTROYED AND THAT THEIR WRIST
D. OR RESTORE TO EQUAL OR
BETTER QUALITY. IF ANYONE IS C.
W. A. HAS FOUND A SITUATION.
WHERE A COMMUNICATIONS SERVICE
PROVIDER HAS FAILED TO RESTORE
TO EQUAL OR BETTER IT IS THEIR
OBLIGATION TO REPORT THAT. YEAH
WE'VE GOT US IN THE PAST TO
NAME AT LEAST ONE COMMUNITY
WHERE THIS HAS OCCURRED. AND NO
ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT.

EXERCISE- FOR EXPANDING THE
JURISDICTION FROM BIANCA- YES

PLEASED TO SEE CALIFORNIANS
RETURNING TO THE STATE CAPITOL
AND WE'RE PLEASED TO SEE YOU
OBSERVE YOUR GOVERNMENT IN
PROGRESS. ALL RIGHT. SO THIS
FOR THOSE OF YOU LISTENING AND
WATCHING- WE'RE GOING TO TAKE
THINGS OUT OF ORDER A BIT-
ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO ASSUME
YOU'RE HERE TO PRESENT AT
ELEVEN EIGHTY FOUR. I AM
ASSEMBLYMEMBER OUR CANADA
STEPPED OUT FROM MEETING SO SHE
TOLD ME I GOT TO POP UP ONLINE
WHICH ALL RIGHT WE APPRECIATE
YOU GOT. QUITE A BOMB THERE ARE
SOME NUMBER TWO I HOPE YOU
REMEMBER THIS IN THE FUTURE. I
WILL REMEMBER THIS TO MY DYING
DAY ALL RIGHT ALL RIGHT- SO AB
ELEVEN. EIGHTY FOUR PHYLUM
NUMBER THIRTEEN. OF THE FLOOR'S
YOURS THANK YOU SENATORS
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION
OF EIGHTY ELEVEN EIGHTY FOUR TO
ENSURE. PATIENT PRIVACY. LET ME
START BY FIRST THANKING THE
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
YOUR ENGAGEMENT AND ACCEPT ALL
OF THE MOMENTS IN THE ANALYSIS.
INCLUDING SEVERAL AGREED TO IN
SENATE HEALTH. THAT WOULD
CLARIFY THAT A CONFIDENTIAL
COMMUNICATION REQUEST APPLIES
TO ALL SERVICES. REMOVED
EXPLANATION OF BENEFITS FROM
THE LIST OF DOCUMENTS IN WHICH
HEALTH PLANS MUST NOTIFY.
PATIENTS ABOUT THE CCR PROCESS
AND CLEAN UP DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION PROVISIONS.
SENATORS THIS BILL ADDRESSES
THE PRIVACY OF INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE NOT THE PRIMARY POLICY
HOLDER FOR THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE. SUCH AS THOSE RUN
THEIR PARTNER'S HEALTH PLAN FOR
YOUNG ADULTS COVERED ON THEIR
PARENT'S PLAN BEFORE THE AGE OF
TWENTY SIX. UNDER THE ACA. IN
SOME INSTANCES THE PRIMARY
POLICY HOLDER MAY RECEIVE
INFORMATION. ABOUT CARE
PROVIDED THAT THE PATIENT DOES
NOT WANT REVEALED TO THAT
PRIMARY POLICY HOLDER. IN SOME
CASES IT WOULD BE EVEN
DANGEROUS FOR A PRIMARY POLICY
HOLDER TO RECEIVE INFORMATION.
ABOUT WHAT SERVICES THE PATIENT
HAS RECEIVED. FOR EXAMPLE. A
WOMAN WHO'S ACCESSING
REPRODUCTIVE CARE OR CARE
RELATED TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
MAY NOT WANT HER PARTNER TO
KNOW SHE'S ACCESSING THAT CARE.
A TRANSGENDER YOUTH MAY NOT
WANT THEIR PARENTS TO KNOW THAT
THEY'RE ACCESSING HEALTHCARE
SERVICES. THIS BILL UPDATES
EXISTING PATIENT PRIVACY LAWS
TO DO SEVERAL THINGS FIRST. IT
AUTOMATICALLY ENSURES A
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE
INSURANCE COMPANY REGARDING
SENSITIVE SERVICES AS DEFINED
ARE CONFIDENTIAL. AND NOT SENT
TO THE PRIMARY POLICY HOLDER.
SO IT. EXISTING DEFINITION OF
SENSITIVE SERVICES TO INCLUDE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE AND
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE.
EXTENDING AUTOMATIC
CONFIDENTIALITY FOR THOSE
SERVICES AND THIRD. IT ENSURES
THAT PATIENTS WHO ARE RECEIVING
SENSITIVE SERVICES HAVE A
PATHWAY TO REQUEST CONFIDENTIAL
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THEIR
HEALTH PLAN. BUT I WANT TO BE
CLEAR SINCE WE'VE HEARD SOME
RECENT OPPOSITION SUGGEST
OTHERWISE THIS BILL DOES NOT
CHANGE EXISTING MEDICAL CONSENT
LAW NOR DOES IT CHANGE THE AGE
OF CONSENT FOR ANY SERVICE. ALL
IT DOES IS ENSURE THAT FOLKS
WHO NEED CONFIDENTIAL
COMMUNICATIONS CAN RECEIVE IT.
AND WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO TURN
IT OVER TO OUR MAIN WITNESSES-
MOLLY ROBSON FROM PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AND CHRISTINE SMITH
FROM THE CALIFORNIA PARTNERSHIP
TO END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. BACK

TOUGH IN THE PAST AT THE ONE
THIRTY EIGHT YEARS AGO. THE END
OF THE ONE THIRTY EIGHT
PATIENTS CONTINUE TO FIND IT
DIFFICULT ACTION SIDE THEIR
RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW. TO GAIN
CONFIDENTIALITY FOR THEIR
HEALTH CARE SERVICES. FOR
PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S HEALTH
CENTRES CONFIDENTIALITY IS AT
THE CORE. OF ITS ROLE AS A
TRUSTED HEALTH CARE PROVIDER.
WHEN PATIENTS SEEK. THEY MAY
NOT RE. THAT ABOUT THE THEY
RECEIVE MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE BY
REACHING OUT AND SAYS OUT AND-
THIS IS. TRUE FOR MINORS AND
YOUNG ADULTS FROM THEIR PARENTS.
ANYONE HAVE NAVIGATE COVERAGE
ISSUES WITH THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE KNOWS THAT IT'S NOT A
SIMPLE OR EASY PROCESS. EIGHTY
ELEVEN EIGHTY FOUR WILL SHIFT
THE DEFAULT POSITION TO THE ONE
WHERE THE HEALTH PLAN
AUTOMATICALLY DIRECT
COMMUNICATION TO THE PATIENT.
RATHER THAN HAVE THE PRIMARY
SUBSCRIBER OF THE PLAN YOU
SHOULD RECEIVING CERTAIN TYPES
OF SERVICE AT. PERSONAL AND
CONFIDENTIALITY IS CRITICAL TO
ENSURING THAT ALL PATIENTS CAN
CONTINUE TO ACCESS NEEDED
SERVICES WITHOUT YOUR JUDGMENT
FOR THEIR DECISION. ELEVEN

JUDICIAL SYSTEM REMAINS AN
IMPORTANT PART OF SOCIETY
DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED
TIMES AND I THINK WE'VE LEARNED
TO COPE WITH THAT- THERE ARE
MANY THINGS THAT WE SHOULD AT
LEAST CONSIDER DOING
DIFFERENTLY AND COURT ACCESS IS
CERTAINLY ONE OF THOSE- IN JUNE
TWENTY TWENTY A KERN COUNTY
COURT COMMITTED TO PROVIDING
PUBLIC ACCESS TO AN OPEN
HEARING. ALTHOUGH THE HEARING
WAS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SOME
FAMILY MEMBERS AND OTHER
OBSERVERS WERE BARRED FROM
ENTERING HE COURT AND WERE NOT
PROVIDED WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TO
VIEW OR LISTEN TO THE HEARING.
SIMILARLY CONSTITUENTS FROM MY
OWN DISTRICT WERE DENIED REMOTE
PARTICIPATION TO VIEW AN OPEN
COURT PROCEEDING AS COURTHOUSES
PHYSICALLY CLOSED FOR
EVERYONE'S SAFETY DURING THE
PANDEMIC PUBLIC ACCESS TO FALL
OPEN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS THE
RIGHT UNDER THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION WAS BEING LIMITED.
A. B. SEVEN ONE SIX WOULD
REQUIRE COURTS TO PROVIDE
REMOTE ACCESS TO HEARINGS VIA
AN AUDIO STREAM TO OPEN
PROCEEDINGS STRIKING A BALANCE
BETWEEN MATING FULL ACCESS IN
COURT FLEXIBILITY. WITHOUT
LIMITING A JUDGE'S ABILITY TO
HOLD COURT CLOSED PROCEEDINGS-
WHEREVER IT IS APPROPRIATE.

NEIGHBORHOODS- DECISIONS AND
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE HAVE
MADE THESE RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE
COVENANTS UNENFORCEABLE
HOWEVER. THESE COVENANTS OFTEN
CONTAIN OTHER VESTIGES OF
DISCRIMINATION SUCH AS LIMITS
ON THE NUMBER AND SIZE OF UNITS
THAT CAN BE BUILT. THE DENSITY
LIMITS ALSO CONFLICT WITH LOCAL
ZONING CODES THAT WOULD ALLOW
FOR MULTI FAMILY HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT. DESPITE THEIR
DISCRIMINATORY ORIGIN IN CLEAR
CONFLICT WITH LOCAL ZONING
DENSITY RESTRICTIONS ON HOUSING
COVENANTS REMAIN ENFORCEABLE
AGAINST AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPER. AT SEVENTY ONE WILL
PROVIDE A PROCESS TO REMOVE
RESTRICTIVE HOUSING COVENANTS
AND ENSURE THAT WE BUILD MORE
AFFORDABLE UNITS WHILE
PRESERVING AND STRENGTHENING
LOCAL CONTROL. THIS MEASURE
CLARIFIES THAT DENSITY
RESTRICTIONS IN PRIVATE
COVENANTS ARE UNENFORCEABLE
AGAINST A 1100% AFFORDABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. UNDER AB

STILL TREATED AS ENFORCEABLE
THAT EVEN IF THOSE PRIVATE

READ BACK TO THE CHAMBER-
SEEING NO MICROPHONES RAISED
CENTER CAL SKI. I DO HAVE A- A
QUESTION I GUESS THE POINT TO
MAKE IS WE HEARD THIS IN- A
HOUSING AND AT THE TIME I
RAISED THE CONCERNTHAT I HAD
THAT THAT THIS IS WELL THE
STAFF REPORT IS A WONDERFUL
TIME. EXPLAINING WHAT THE
PROBLEM IS IN THESE RESTRICTED
GOVERNMENT COVENANTS THE
SOLUTION IS TO VERO VERY
NARROWLY LIMITED REMOVAL THESE
COVENANTS WITH A HUNDRED
PERCENT. AFFORDABLE HOUSING I
GUESS AT THE TIME I REACHED THE
POINT THAT WHY WOULD WE NOT
ALLOW 50% AFFORDABLE HOUSING-
30% AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE-
AS WE SEE THESE THESE OF. THESE
RESTRICTIONS ARE OF A POOR AND
TO THE TO WHERE WE I THINK MANY
OF US THINK OF CALIFORNIA LAW.
AND I SPENT SOME TIME THINKING
ABOUT AS HE DID SUPPORT THE
MATTER IN A IN HOUSING I'M GOOD
AT STAYING THE DAY AND I GUESS
IT'S A MINORITY VOTE BECAUSE I
WELL I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
INDICATING THAT. THEIR SPONSORS
ARE 100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING-
BUT ENTHUSIAST AND BUILDERS I
THINK THAT THESE TYPES OF
RESTRICTIONS AND SOME OF THE
RECALL SOME OF THE TESTIMONY WE
HEARD TODAY FROM PEOPLE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SEE THESE
REMOVED. I WOULD LIKE TO
ACCELERATE THAT AND ALLOW OTHER
TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD
COME IN TO REMOVE THESE
RESTRICTIONS AND NOT JUST A
100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO.
THAT'S THE REASON. FOR MY
EXTENSION ALREADY THANK YOU.
OTHERS I SEE NO OTHER
MICROPHONES THEIR MOTION.
SENATORS ALSO MOVES THE BILL
ALL RIGHT- YOU COULD CLOSE SOME
NUMBER BELOW. THANK YOU MR
CHAIR AND- MEMBERS- I THINK
THIS IS AN INCREMENTAL BILL
THERE CERTAINLY ARE STEPS THAT
CAN BE TAKEN IN THE FUTURE AS-
THE SENATOR AND I DISCUSSED- IN
THE LAST COMMITTEE- WE'VE BEN
ABLE TO OVERCOME A SURPRISING
NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT CAME UP
WITH THE BILL WITH RESPECT TO
LAND TRUSTS AND RECORDERS AND
SO I THINK WE'VE LAID THE
GROUNDWORK FOR. FUTURE WORK BUT
FOR NOW THIS IS ABOUT A 100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS ARE EDGY THANK YOU THANK
YOU COUNSEL YOU CALL THE ROLL
THIS IS THE EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY
ONE BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM
WITH THE MOTION BY SENATOR

MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS- I'D
LIKE TO- START JOB BY ACCEPTING
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND
THANK THE CHAIR AND A COMMITTEE
STAFFER WORKING. VERY-DILIGENTLY ON THOSE AMENDMENTS.
EIGHTY NINE SEVENTEEN WILL
ALLOW TRANSIT AGENCIES TO
CAPTURE IMAGES OF VEHICLES THAT
VIOLATE TRANSIT ONLY LANES AND
BLOCKBUSTER OPS. DESPITE CLEAR
MARKINGS AND SIGNAGE TRANSIT
ONLY LANES ARE FREQUENTLY
IGNORED. BUS ONLY LANE
VIOLATIONS AND PARKED VEHICLES
FORCED TRANSIT OPERATORS TO
MANEUVER AROUND CONGESTED LANES
AND MAKE DROP OFFS FURTHER FROM
THE CURVE. CURB VIOLATIONS
BECAUSE SERVICE DELAYS AND POSE
SAFETY ISSUES TO DRIVERS TO
RIDERS WHO NEED ADDITIONAL
ASSISTANCE AND TWO OTHER
VEHICLES AS WELL. CAMERA
ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS IN SAN
FRANCISCO ALAMEDA AND CONTRA
COSTA COUNTY HAVE SHOWN GREAT
SUCCESS IN REDUCING VIOLATIONS
AND IMPROVING TRAVEL TIMES.
BOTH PROGRAMS REPORTED CLOSE TO
IT 20% IMPROVEMENT IN ON TIME
PERFORMANCE AND SAW A REDUCTION
IN REPEAT VIOLATORS. EIGHTY
NINE SEVENTEEN WILL PROVIDE
TRANSIT AGENCIES WITH A COST
EFFECTIVE TOOL TO ENSURE SAFE
AND RAPID BUS SERVICE
ESPECIALLY FOR BUSY STREETS
WHERE IN PERSON PARKING
ENFORCEMENT IS SIMPLY NOT
REALISTIC. EIGHTY NINE
SEVENTEEN ALSO CONTAINS
GUARDRAILS FOR CONSUMER AND
PRIVACY PROTECTIONS. NEW
ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS MUST GIVE
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC ISSUE
WARNING NOTICES IN ADVANCE OF
IMPLEMENTATION AND PROVIDE
OPTIONS TO REDUCE OR WAIVE THE
COST OF CITATIONS. ADDITIONALLY
IMAGES OF VIOLATIONS CAN BE
RETAINED FOR NO MORE THAN SIX
MONTHS AND CAN ONLY BE USED FOR
PURPOSES OF PARKING ENFORCEMENT.
WITH THESE ADDITIONAL
PROTECTIONS EIGHTY NINE
SEVENTEEN WILL INSURE LOW
INCOME INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY
CITATIONS WHILE ALSO PROVIDING
BUS RIDERS WITH ACCESS TO SAFE
AND RAPID TRANSIT SERVICE WITH
ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF A.
B. NINE SEVENTEEN OR MICHAEL
TURNER THE DEPUTY EXECUTIVE

AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE AT AC
TRANSIT THANK YOU THANK YOU MR
TURNER- MISTER JONES. THANK YOU
CHAIR AND MEMBERS- THIS IS
MICHAEL TURNER ON BEHALF OF THE
LA COUNTY METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. AS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM MENTIONED
THIS BILL WOULD AUTHORIZE
PUBLIC TRANSIT AGENCIES TO A
FAULT INSTALL FRONT FACING
CAMERAS ON OUR VEHICLES TO
ASSIST WITH IMPORTANT FOR SMITH
PARKING VIOLATIONS IN TRANSIT
ONLY LANES. AND THAT BUS STOPS
IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
SOME OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF OUR
WRITERS AND HOW THIS PROGRAM
FITS INTO THAT. IN LA COUNTY
60% 66% OF BUS RIDERS IDENTIFY
AS LATINO 15% IDENTIFY AS
AFRICAN AMERICAN THE MEDIAN
HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF METRO'S BUS
WRITER IS LESS THAN EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. THE
ABILITY OF THOUSANDS OF THESE
WRITERS IS BEING DELAYED BY
PEOPLE WHO PARK ILLEGALLY AND
BUS ONLY LANES. FOR A SINGLE
CAR THAT IS ILLEGALLY PARKED IN
THE BUS LANE UP TO EIGHTY BUS
RIDERS ARE DELAYED EACH MINUTE.
THAT'S ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND
RIDERS AN HOUR IF IT TAKES AN
HOUR FOR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
TO CLEAR THE BUS LINE. WITH
THIS ADORED EACH METRO ANOTHER
TRANSIT AGENCIES CAN PARTNER
WITH LOCAL JURISDICTIONS THAT
ALREADY HAVE PARKING
ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY THE ONE
IN REITERATE THAT WE ARE NOT
ISSUING THE PARKING CITATIONS
WERE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THAT CURRENTLY
HAVE THAT AUTHORITY. WE'RE
SPONSORING THE MEASURE TO
AUTHORIZE THIS SO AS WE DEPLOY
TRANSLATOR TRANSLATED FORSMAN
PROGRAM BUT ALSO AS WE EXPAND
OUR- TRANSIT ONLY LANE NETWORK
WE CURRENTLY HAVE OVER TWENTY
NINE MILES OF TRANSIT ONLY
LANES BUT THAT'S EXPANDING TO-
SIGNIFICANTLY. OVER THE NEXT- A
FEW YEARS TO OVER A HUNDRED
MILES. OF TRANSIT ONLY LANES
IMPROVING THE SPEED AND
RELIABILITY OF OUR BUS NETWORK
THROUGH THIS MEASURE WILL BE
CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS OF THAT
PROGRAM AND WILL HELP INCREASE
MOBILITY FOR MILLIONS OF
ESSENTIAL WORKERS REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
REDUCING CONGESTION. I JUST
WANT TO REITERATE ALSO THAT
ILLEGALLY PARKED CARS THE
SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE ABOUT
SOMETIMES HAS TO SWERVE INTO.
TRAFFIC LANES IN ORDER TO- IN
ORDER TO THE VIA. THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TESTIFY AND I
WILL STOP THEIR- THANK YOU MR

AFTERNOON SENATOR STEPHEN JONES

REPRESENTATIVE URGING THE
COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT FOR EIGHTY
NINE SEVENTEEN MILLION TO
CALIFORNIA'S MOST VULNERABLE
RESIDENTS RELY ON PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION TO CONNECT THEM
TO THEIR JOB MEDICAL
APPOINTMENTS SCHOOLS AND OTHER
ESSENTIAL ACTIVITIES. BUT
TRANSIT SYSTEM CANNOT PROVIDE A
SAFE AND RELIABLE SERVICE TO
THESE WRITERS WHEN MOTORISTS
ILLEGALLY PARKED THEIR CARS IN
TRANSIT ONLY LANES OR TRYING TO
STOP. ILLEGAL PARKING MAKES
TRANSIT LAISSEZ LESS RELIABLE
LESS ACCESSIBLE. AND LESS
EQUITABLE EIGHTY TRANSIT 65% OF
OUR WRITERS ARE LOW INCOME AND
75% OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. NEARLY
HALFOF OUR WRITERS DON'T EVEN
HAVE ACCESSTO A WORKING
VEHICLE. THE FACT IS IT IS THE
PUBLIC TRANSIT RIDERS WHO
SUFFERS THE MOST WHEN MOTORISTS
DELIVERY TRUCKS AND RIDE SHARE
SERVICES PARK ILLEGALLY AND
ABOUT THEM. CURRENT LAW A LOT
OF THE TRANSIT USE CAMERAS TO
DISCOURAGE ILLEGAL PARKING IN
THE TRANSIT ONLY LANES OF OUR
NEW BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM.
THE CAMERAS ARE WORKING. ON
AVERAGE WE ISSUE LESS THAN FOUR
TICKETS PER DAY ON A LINE THAT
CARRIES SEVEN THOUSAND SIX
HUNDRED RIDERS PER DAY AND IT'S
PROJECTED THE CITY CARRYING AS
MANY AS ELEVEN THOUSAND RIDERS
PER DAY. OUR AVERAGE ON TRACK
PERFORMANCE EXCEEDS 80% AND
WE'VE RECEIVED ZERO PRIVACY
COMPLAINTS. EVERY DAY THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE RIDE OUR BUS RAPID
TRANSIT SYSTEM BUT THE
CONFIDENCE THAT WE WILL DELIVER
THEM SAFELY AND ON TIME GOOD
JOB SCHOOL COMMUNITY SERVICES
AND MORE. ALL CALIFORNIANS WHO
RIDE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
DESERVE THIS LEVEL OF SERVICE.
EIGHTY NINE SEVENTY WILL HELP
ENSURE THE TRANSIT RIDERS
ESPECIALLY THOSE FROM
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.

THE VIOLATIONS ARE A TREMENDOUS
SOURCE OF INSTABILITY PASSING
THIS BILL WOULD SEVERELY
BURDENED LOW INCOME CALIFORNIA
BY GREATLY INCREASING THE
NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS ISSUED AN
IMPOSING MANY BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ON THAT. THERE'S NO
DOUBT THAT EIGHTY NINE
SEVENTEEN WOULD INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF VIOLATIONS ISSUED
PRELIMINARY DATA FROM AC
TRANSIT SHOWS A FOUR HUNDRED
AND 70% INCREASE IN THE TYPES
OF VIOLATIONS ISSUED THROUGH
THE PILOT PROGRAM THE
TECHNICIANS WILL BURN SOME MORE
THAN OTHERS LOW INCOME PEOPLE
WILL BE HIT HARD BECAUSE THESE
TEMPTATIONS DEPRIVE THEM OF A
LARGER SHARE OF THEIR INCOME
GIG WORKERS WILL BE ESPECIALLY
AFFECTED I'M BLACK AND BROWN
WOMEN WILL PAY A STEEP PRICE
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THEY BEAR A
DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF LEGAL
THAT. WHETHER OR NOT THEY
RECEIVE THE VIOLATION VIOLATION
CAP CATASTROPHIC IMPACT FOR

ANYBODY WHO RELIES ON THAT

TO DRIVE THERE BY THREATENING
PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO WORK AND
GET THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL THE

ALL OF THIS WILL BE BLUNTED BY
ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR
LOW INCOME PEOPLE WITH
DIFFERENT LARGELY ON TRAIL IT'S
OUR EXPERIENCE THAT ALTERNATIVE
PAYMENT PROGRAM. AVAILABLE TO

THE FIVE HUNDRED OKAY THEN
TENSION EIGHTY NINE ONE SEVEN
GOES OO FAR BY FOSTERING THE

HURTING THE USE OF SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES LIKE CAMERAS ON

NINE NINE SEVEN RELIES ON THE
FALSE NOTION FOR ME ON BENEFITS
THE COMMUNITY THAT ARE

WAYS OF ACHIEVING CLEAR HAND
THE ONLY LANE SECTION
INSTRUCTING HER GO MEDIAN
PREVENT CARS FROM PARKING
ILLEGALLY. BY ADDING MORE MINDS

MAINTAIN A DATABASE TO IDENTIFY
THOSE PEOPLE- BEEN HAVE MAYBE
EARNED ASECOND FOR YOU KNOW
THE FIRST FINE BECAUSE WE WOULD
NEED TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY-
WARNING TICKETS. WERE- I
COULDN'T IT WILL. AND THEN
MAINTAIN THAT DATABASE SO THAT
IF THAT PERSON- VIOLATES THE
BOSS OF ME DOING AGAIN BUT WILL
NEED TO KNOW THAT WELL THEY'VE
JUST TURNED THEIR OFFICIAL
FIRST. I NEVER. THOUGHT I WOULD
YOU KNOW REQUIRE INDEFINITELY
THE MAINTENANCE OF A DATABASE
AND WE HAD NO INTEREST IN DOING
THAT. SO WHAT I KNOW OF THE AC
TRANSIT HAS A- A PILOT PROGRAM
THAT IS BEING INCORPORATED INTO
SOME BIG AND BEING MADE
PERMANENT I GUESS THE OTHER
QUESTION I HAVE FOR THE AUTHOR
FOR AC TRANSIT IS THAT. MY
FIGURES SHOW THAT THE ALAMEDA
COUNTY SHERIFF'S HAVE GIVEN OUT
SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY KITS THAT
WERE ISSUED BY THESE CAMERAS-
AND MANY OF THEM AS THE
OPPOSITION HAS POINT OUT OF
MANY OF THEM ARE TO LOW INCOME.
IN THREE YEARS SINCE TWENTY
NINETEEN THERE'S ONLY BEEN
THIRTY TWO PEOPLE THAT HAVE
PARTICIPATED IN THE IN THE LOW
INCOME PAYMENT PROGRAM- AND IT
JUST SEEMS IN ONE YEAR SEVEN
HUNDRED AND EIGHT TICKETS IN
THREE YEARS THIRTY TWO PEOPLE
SO NOBODY. I THINK IT'S IT IT
APPEARS THAT THE PROGRAM IS
THERE SO WE WANT TO HAVE LOW
INCOME PEOPLE MAKE A LITTLE
TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR PAYMENT A
MONTH BUT NOBODY'S DOING IT AND
I WAS WONDERING IF ALAMEDA
COUNTY COULD RESPOND TO. THAT
MEEKER PARTICIPATION RATE. YEAH
SO I THINK WHAT WE SEE IS THAT-
WELL FIRST- WE DON'T KNOW THE
FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE
INDIVIDUALS WHO RECEIVE THE
TICKETS- YOU KNOW WHEN YOU
REFERENCE THE SEVEN HUNDRED AND
NINE TO GET THE MACHINE. THIS
YEAR- BUT LET ME LOOK- DISTRICT
WIDE AT THE TICKET THAT- I'M
SORRY THE INDIVIDUALS WHO DO
PARTICIPATE IN THE LOW INCOME
PLAN- PROGRAM- WE SEE THAT-
THEY ARE- NOT PAYING ON THEIR
NOT PARTICIPATING. THE PAY DOWN
THE ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS
FINE DISSOCIATED WITH. OUR
CAMERA PROGRAM- THEY'RE PAYING
FOR- FIND ASSOCIATED WITH FOR
EXAMPLE MAYBE PARKING AT A- BUS
STOP ORNATE NA- HANDICAP LOAN.
AND THAT INFRACTION COULD BE.
ANYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE
DISTRICT NOT ONLY LONG ARTICLE
B. R. T. LINE. SO I THINK WHAT
WE HAVE HERE REALLY IS A
SITUATION WHERE. THE ONE
HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLARS FINE-
WELL NOT INSUBSTANTIAL IS
SOMETHING THAT MAYBE IS A
LITTLE MORE MANAGEABLE FOR
FOLKS- AND THAT- FOR THE FOLKS
WHO ARE. PARTICIPATING. IN THE
LOW INCOME PAYMENT PLAN. THERE
DOING SO DOING THEIR INSTALL
THE TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR DID NOT.
AND AND AGAIN YOU DON'T REALLY
SEE- YEP AGAIN THE CROSS
MILITARY TO INDIVIDUALS OVER
THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF YEARS
OR SO- PARTICIPATED IN THAT
PLANT SO IT'S REALLY. ABOUT
PLANNED- THE PARTICIPANTS-
OPTUS STADIUM TO PAY DOWN THE
LARGER FINES. I GUESS I GUESS
MR CHERRY IT'S CONCERNING
BECAUSE THE APP THE OPPOSITION
IS POINTING POINTING OUT THAT
THEY BELIEVE THAT THE HEAVY
BURDEN IS GONNA FALL ON LOW
INCOME DRIVERS AND WOMEN WOMEN%
OF COLOR THAT HAVE ALL THESE
DUTIES IN TRYING TO PARK THE
CAR AND GET IN THERE THAT
THAT'S IT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT
RECONCILING WHAT THE- AMOUNT OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE. PAYING THE
FINE SIR- ARE NOT PROTESTING
THE LOW INCOME PROGRAM ALL
RIGHT. THANK YOU THANK YOU SIR
WHAT CAL STATE SENATOR ALSO.
YES THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR- I'M
SORRY I MISSED THE BEGINNING OF
THIS CONVERSATION- AND I JUST
WANT TO ALSO I THINK OF THE
ISSUE THAT'S BEEN RAISED IS THE
IMPACT ON THE POOR PEOPLE- I
SERVED ON. I SERVED ON A
WALLACE CHAIR OF BUDGET SUB
FIVE AND WE TOOK SEVERAL
ACTIONS- ACTUALLY THE TWENTY
EIGHTEEN BUDGET- TOOK BUT-
ACTION BUT ON THIS BUDGET WE
TOOK AN ACTION OF. INCREASING
FROM TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS TO
FIFTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS. TO
HELP THE TRAFFIC AND NON
TRAFFIC IN OUR INFRACTIONS AND
SO HERE WE ARE PAIN BECAUSE
PEOPLE AREN'T ABLE TO PAY. FEES
BOTH FOR TRAFFIC AND NON
TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS IT'S A DEBT
THAT BUILDS ON THEM PERSONALLY
IT'S A DEBT THAT WE'RE ONLY
KIDDING OURSELVES AND NOT GONNA
BE ABLE TO PAY OFF BUT THERE'S-A REAL IMPACT ON THEIR ON THEIR
LIVES THERE'S AN IMPACT ON. IF
YOU HAVE THESE TICKETS YOU CAN
GET REGISTRATION FOR YOUR CAR
BECAUSE YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING
PARKING FEE- AND THERE'S A
PENALTIES COULD BE AS HIGH AS
ALMOST FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS SO-
I AM. EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT
THE EXPANSION OF THIS- EVEN IF
THERE'S A SUNSET DATE- THAT'S
ANOTHER FIVE YEARS- THAT PEOPLE
OF DEBT- THEY COULD GET THE
TICKET THEY COULD STAY ON THERE
STAY ON THE RECORDS AND THAT SO
I THINK VERY DETRIMENTAL SO
I'M- SORRY I'M SURE THERE'S A
RESPONSE FROM THE AUTHOR. SEVEN
NUMBER BLOOM YES- THANK YOU FOR
THE- QUESTION THE- THAT THAT
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT- WAS OF
CONCERN IN THE LAST THE- A
COMMITTEE AND WE ADDRESSED IT
BY- REQUIRING OPTIONS TO REDUCE
THE FINE OR WITH- EVEN WAIVE
THE TICKET TO- IN CIRCUMSTANCES
THEN THE- AGENCY WOULD HAVE THE
DISCRETION. TO DO BOTH OF THOSE
THINGS IN THE PROPER
CIRCUMSTANCE. AND THE- UHHUH WE
BUILT IN A SIXTY DAY PUBLIC
EDUCATION PROGRAM- IT WAS A
THIRTY NOW- WITH THAT TODAY'S
AMENDMENTS A SIXTY DAY WARNING
CITATION PERIOD AND- AS I SAID-
OPTIONS MUST BE PROVIDED IT'S
NOT DISCRETIONARY IT'S- THAT
OPTIONS MUST BE PROVIDED TO
REDUCE OR WAIVE THE COST OF A
CITATION. FOR THOSE WHO NEED TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE
PROVISIONS I WOULD- ASK MEMBERS
TO TAKE NOTE THAT TRANSIT
RIDERS THEMSELVES ARE
PREDOMINANTLY LOW INCOME AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN LA
COUNTY. 66% OF BUS RIDERS
IDENTIFIES LATINO 15% AS
AFRICAN AMERICAN IN THE MEDIAN
HOUSEHOLD INCOME OF METRO'S BUS
RIDERS IS LESS THAN EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR AND FOR
AC TRANSIT THE STATISTICS ARE.
ARE SIMILAR. HAVE THESE ARE THE
MAIN BENEFICIARIES LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS ARE THE MAIN
BENEFICIARIES OF THIS BILL THEY
DESERVE SAFE EFFICIENT BUS
SERVICE AND THIS BILL TRIES TO
DRAW THE RIGHTBALANCE- THE
ONLY OTHER THING I WOULD POINT
OUT IS THAT- OF THOSE TICKETS
THAT WERE ISSUED MANY OF THOSE
WERE SURELY DELIVERY DRIVERS
WHO ARE DELIBERATELY VIOLATING
CUT THE BUS ONLY LANES AND- AND
TNCS AS WELL WHO ORGANISED IT
OTHER MAKING A LIVING- OUT
THERE ON THE STREETS AND I
REALIZE THAT FOR MANY OF THEM
IT'S TOUGH BUT THEY CAN'T BLOCK
BUS ONLY LANES IN THE PROCESS
AND TO- THEY WILL BE THE FIRST.
TO TAKE HEED OF WARNINGS I
BELIEVE AND IT- AND TO NOT
CONTINUE VIOLATING. RIGHT NOW
IT'S JUST TOO EASY TO VIOLATE
AND THAT'S WHY THERE'S A
PROLIFERATION OF VIOLATIONS AND
BUS ONLY LANES. THANK YOU SO
NUMBER OF SIR JOHN'S. MISTER
CHAIR THANK YOU MR BLOOM I'VE
I'VE BEEN REALLY STRUGGLING
WITH THIS BILL AS WELL AS-
GOING BACK AND FORTH ON AND I
ACTUALLY CAME IN HERE- THIS
AFTERNOON OPPOSED TO IT BUT-
YOUR- OPENING WITNESS SAID
SOMETHING THAT PIQUED MY
INTERESTED I'D I'D MISSED IN
THE ANALYSIS IN THAT- IT'S NOT
THE- TRANSIT AGENCY THAT'S
ISSUING THE CITATION IT'S- A
LOCAL AGENT LA I. I'D LIKE FOR
YOU TO EXPAND ON THE
EXPLANATION THE LOCAL AGENCY
THAT IS AUTHORIZED. TO ISSUE-THE CITATIONS AND THEN ONE OF
THE OTHER THINGS. I APPRECIATED
ABOUT THE BILL EVEN BEFORE
COMING AS IT HAS TO BE REVIEWED
BY A HUMAN BEING- IT'S ON
AUTOMATIC- TICKET LIKE THE RED
LIGHT TICKETS- USED TO BECAUSE
I'M I WAS ADAMANTLY OPPOSED TO
THOSE- SO CAN YOU EXPLAIN THOSE
TWO THINGS- WHO WHO HAS THE
AUTHORIZATION TO REVIEW THE
VIDEO IN EACH OF THE CITATION
AND WHAT AGENCIES. HAVE THE
AUTHORIZATION TO ISSUE THE
CITATIONS AND I AND BEFORE ALL
THAT I WANT TO SAY THAT I.
AGREE WITH YOU IN YOUR ANSWER
TO THAT- CONCERNS ABOUT THE LOW
INCOME FOLKS BEING CITED VERSES
THE LOW INCOME FOLKS ARE RIDING%
ON THE BUS BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE
ONE PERSON IT'S INCONSIDERATE
AND PARKS. IN THESE BUS LANES
YOU'VE GOT DOZENS OF PEOPLE ON
THE BUS- THAT MAY BE LATE TO
WORK OR- A CHILD'S- DOCTOR'S
APPOINTMENT THE- IN. I THINK WE
GET WE NEED TO BALANCE THAT SO
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT ANSWER
BUT BACK TO MY QUESTIONS THE
PERSON WHO. IS AUTHORIZED IN
THE AGENCY THAT OPERATES PLEASE
ONE ANSWER FOR TO A MISTER
TURNER. WHO AGREES THAT ISSUE
INITIALLY. OUR MISS TURNER
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU-
THIS IS MICHAEL TURNER YEAH
THIS WE SET THIS UP IN A IN A
WAY. WHERE WE WOULD WANT TO SET
THIS UP RATHER IN A WAY WHERE
WE WOULD METRO WOULD NOT BE
DOING. ANY OF THE PARKING UP
ENFORCEMENT THE S. THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENSURING THE
TICKET. WOULD REMAIN WITH THE
JURISDICTIONS THAT CURRENTLY
HAVE THAT AUTHORITY WHICH IN
OUR CASE IS MOSTLY THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES. SO WE WOULD- THE
ROLE WE WOULD PLAY WOULD BE TO
IDENTIFY THAT THERE WAS A
PARKING VIOLATION. AND IN THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES- OR
WHATEVER CITY THE- FACILITY IS
pTICKET THROUGH THEIR NORMAL
PROCESS THESE AND- OR THEY
WOULD VALIDATE THE TICKET AND
THEN ISSUE THE TICKET. THROUGH
THEIR NORMAL PROCESS THESE BUT
THEY WOULD ALSO PROCESS
WHATEVER FINE- FEE WAIVER WOULD
BE APPROPRIATE. CAN YOU SPEAK
TO THIS THE PERSON THAT IS
AUTHORIZED. TO REVIEW THE VIDEO
AND- ISSUED A CITATION. YEAH WE
WOULD- COORDINATE THAT WE
HAVEN'T IDENTIFIED WHO EXACTLY
WOULD DO THAT WHETHER THAT
WOULD BE A METRO EMPLOYEE OR A
CITY OF LOS ANGELES EMPLOYEE-
BUT THERE WOULD BE A HUMAN THAT
REVIEWS- THE VIOLATION TO
ENSURE THAT IT'S VALID BUT IT
WOULDN'T NECESSARILY BE A POST
OFFICE OR IT COULD JUST BE A-
AN AGENCY STAFF MEMBER THAT'S
TRAINED. IN THIS PARTICULAR. I
THINK MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE
FOR TO BE A POST OFFICERS SO
THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE- BUT-
I'LL LET YOU ANSWER TO THAT.
SEVEN NUMBER BELOW. ALLAH LET
MISTER TURNER RESPOND TO THAT.
YEAH I MEAN WE WOULDN'T HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THAT IT WAS A POST
OFFICER. ALL RIGHT- AND I SEE
ALSO- SET A COUPLE EUROS
MICROPHONES UP AND TURNED. YEAH
I APPRECIATE THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I JUST WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR THIS BILL I YOU KNOW
I LOOK AT IT A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY AND I AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR LAST COMMENTS
BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO MAKE
MANY OF THE- OF THE ISSUES THAT
YOU MADE WHICH IS THAT- WHAT.
THIS REALLY IS A BALANCE
BETWEEN- BETWEEN HAVING PEOPLE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE RULES
AROUND WHERE YOU CAN. WHERE YOU
CAN DRIVE AND WHERE YOU
SHOULDN'T BE DRIVING IT- OF
SINK OR A FAMILY CAR BECAUSE
IT'S A IT'S A TRANSIT- LANE AND
THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE THE TAKE
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION RELY ON
IT AND DEPEND ON IT TO BE ON
TIME AND- AND BE ABLE TO STOP
AT THE STOP WHERE THEY NEED TO
GET OFF AND- AND YOU KNOW A LOT
OF TIME TO MAKE EXCUSES ABOUT.
WELL YOU KNOW POOR PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY IT BUT
I'M I'M IMPRESSED BY HOW- YOU
YOU STRUCTURED IT SO THAT
THERE'S SOME OPTIONS THERE'S A
PUBLIC EDUCATION DISTRICT
THERE'S- WARNINGS AND THEN
THERE'S THE FLEXIBILITY WITH
THE TRANSIT AGENCY TO BE ABLE
TO DECIDE. TO FORGIVE A FINER
TO BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH A
DIFFERENT WAY FOR IT TO BE PAID
AND- AND THE REALITY THE
SITUATION IS THAT POOR PEOPLE
HAVE NO CHOICE MANY TIMES THEY
HAVE TO TAKE PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION AND IT REALLY IS
IMPORTANT THAT IT BE ON TIME
AND PART OF THE CHALLENGE I
HAVE WITH. WITH THE DETRACTORS
OF THE CAMERAS IS THAT- IF YOU
DON'T ENFORCE. PEOPLE DON'T PAY
ATTENTION. AND I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU BUT THESE RED LIGHT.
PEOPLE WHO RUN RED LIGHTS DRIVE
ME CRAZY. BECAUSE IF I MOVED
WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I'D BE
BROADSIDED MANY TIMES AND SO.
AND PART OF THE PART OF THE
CHALLENGES WE HAVE STOPPED
ENFORCING. RED LIGHT WITH
PATROLS AND SO THIS IS A VERY
SIMILAR SITUATION WHERE I'M AT.
NOT ENFORCING OR NOT HAVING
ENOUGH STAFF TO ENFORCE THE
RULES ABOUT WHERE PEOPLE SHOULD
GO IF YOU IF YOU DON'T DO THE
ENFORCEMENT THEN IT BECOMES
WORSE AND WORSE AND WORSE. AND
I THINK THIS IS A BILL THAT
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE I AM
CONCERNED YOU KNOW MY
PRIORITIES ALWAYS BEEN WORKING
FOLKS- BUT THEY GOT TO FOLLOW
THE LOSS IN ONCE THEY GET A
WARNING ONCE THEY THEY FIND OUT
THAT- THAT THAT IT IS GOING TO
BE ENFORCED I DON'T THINK WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE THE PROBLEMS THAT
ARE. ARE PROJECTED HERE SO-
WHEN IT'S APPROPRIATE MISTER
CHAIR I'D LIKE TO- MOVED ABOUT.
ALREADY THANK YOU OTHERS. THE
OTHER COMMENTS NO OTHER
QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- IN A CYNICAL YOU'RE
MOST BUILT IN THE HEART. THIS
THIS IS THE CLASSIC CASE WE'VE
GOT SOCIETAL VALUES THAT OUR
ATTENTION WITH ONE ANOTHER-
WHETHER IT'S THE ESCALADE
DRIVER WHO JUST SIMPLY DOESN'T
CARE AND PARKS IN THE TRANSIT
LANE VERSUS THE DOOR DASH
DRIVER WHO BASICALLY HAS TO
PARK THERE BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO
OTHER ALTERNATIVE. THAT'S A
TOUGH CHOICE THE TRANSIT LANES
DON'T WORK THEN YOU HAVE LOW
INCOME RIDERS WEREN'T USING
TRANSIT OR CAN'T USE RANSIT
EFFICIENTLY- YOU'VE GOT ALL
SORTS OF DUE PROCESS ISSUES
HERE IT IS YOU AND I HAVE
DISCUSSED WITH RESPECT TO WHO'S
GOING TO VALUE WAIT. THE
VIOLATION OF WHETHER THERE'S
GONNA BE SOME MITIGATION
MEASURES SO THAT THOSE WHO
CAN'T AFFORD IT- HAVE SOME SORT
OF MITIGATION EASURE- THERE'S
ALSO SOME ISSUES WITH RESPECT
TO TECHNOLOGY I APPRECIATE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM YOU
WORKING WITH US ON THESE
ISSUES- THAT'S WHY WE'RE
LOOKING FORWARD TO REPORT IN
THREE YEARS AND THERE'S A
SUNSET OF FIVE YEARS. AND
THAT'S WHY WE'RE ALSO ADDING AN
ADDITIONAL PERIOD OF TIME IN
TERMS OF WARNING AND- I KNOW
YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
WORK ON SOME OF THESE ISSUES AS
THEY INVOLVED BECAUSE THESE ARE
TOUGH ISSUES AND I APPRECIATE
YOUR- ATTENTION TO THEM. ALL
RIGHT HAVING SAID THAT- THEN

SO YOUR CHILD THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND ALSO WELCOME TO OUR
GUESTS HERE IN THE GALLERY
THANK YOU FOR COMING TO OBSERVE
YOUR GOVERNMENT PROGRESS WITH
PARTICULARLY LIKE TO HAVE YOUNG
PEOPLE HERE SO THAT THEY CAN
SEE WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE
CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE. ALL
RIGHT ASSEMBLYMEMBER CHILD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN
AND SENATORS AT THIRTEEN WOULD
ESTABLISH CRITERIA. FOR THE
PROCUREMENT OF HYORI'S
AUTOMATED DECISION SYSTEMS BY
GOVERNMENT ENTITIES IN ORDER TO
MINIMIZE THE RISK OF BIASED. OR
DISCRIMINATORY IMPACTS FROM
THEIR DESIGN AND APPLICATION.
THE USE OF AUGER THEM DRIVEN
AUTOMATED DECISION SYSTEMS OR
ADAS. CAN ASSIST WITH CREDIT
DECISIONS EMPLOYMENT SCREENING
INSURANCE ELIGIBILITY MARKETING
AND DELIVERY OF GOVERNMENT
SERVICES JUST TO NAME A FEW.
HOWEVER PULLEY DESIGN ADS IS
CAN ALSO CREATE AN UNFAIR
BIASED AND INACCURATE RESULTS.
CAUSING DISPROPORTIONATE HARM
TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR WHILE ALSO
UNDERMINING TRUST IN THE PUBLIC
SECTOR. SO WHEN IT COMES TO
ACQUISITION OF THESE SYSTEMS BY
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES WE MUST
EXAMINE THE STATE'S PROCUREMENT
POLICIES CLOSELY. GOVERNMENT
ENTITIES NEED TO CONSIDER
UNIQUE POLICY CHOICES INHERENT
IN MACHINE LEARNING SYSTEMS.
INSTEAD OF TREATING THEIR
PURCHASES AS USUAL GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTING DECISIONS AND
FOCUSING SOLELY ON PRICE
INNOVATION AND COMPETITION THEY
SHOULD ALSO EXAMINE THE GOALS
VALUES AND RISKS INVOLVED IN
THESE SYSTEMS. OTHERWISE THEY
MAY FAIL TO MEET PUBLIC
EXPECTATIONS OF OVERSIGHT OF
THE SYSTEMS. AND INADVERTENTLY
CREATE NEW HARMS. LET ME SHARE
SOME EXAMPLES WERE POORLY
DESIGNED OR UNDERSTOOD. PUBLIC
SECTOR AGRI MISSING- SYSTEMS
HAVE CAUSED HARM TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. FOR
EXAMPLE IN MICHIGAN IN AN
EMPLOYMENT AUGUR THEM
WRONGFULLY ACCUSED FORTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE WELL FRAUD
FORCING MANY OF THEM TO PAY
HEAVY FINES. DECLARE BANKRUPTCY.
OR HELP THEIR HOMES FORECLOSED
UPON. IN MEDICAID WAS. LOST
ACCESS HOME CARE NURSE VISITS.
AND MEDICAL TREATMENTS. OF
ERRORS IN IT THEM. DETROIT THE
MARKET AND ARE THEM USE TO THE
PUBLIC HOUSING SUBSIDIES AND
TAX AND IT UP THERE A FIGHT
COULD. FOR AWAY FOR THE DETROIT
POOREST IN PREDOMINANTLY BLACK
NEIGHBORHOODS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA CALLED WRITERS
AWHILE AGO HE CORRECTLY
TRANSLATED POLICY INTO AN
AUTOMATED PUBLIC BENEFITS
SYSTEM KNOWN AS CAL WIN. WHICH
IMPROPERLY DENIED MEDICAID TO
FOSTER CHILDREN IN VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL LAW IT MOST RECENTLY AN
ACLU STUDY SUGGESTS THAT AN
AUGER THEM USE FOR VACCINE
DISTRIBUTION MAY HAVE LEFT MORE
THAN TWO MILLION CALIFORNIANS.
MANY OF THEM FROM BLACK AND
LATINO X. COMMUNITIES WITHOUT
PROPER VACCINE SUPPLY THE LIST
GOES ON. SO IT IS IMPORTANT TO
ESTABLISH CLEAR GUIDELINES ON
HOW TO ENSURE ACCOUNTABILITY
TRANSPARENCY AND EXPLAINED THE
ABILITY OF THESE SYSTEMS. THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY TO DO
THE FOLLOWING ONE IDENTIFY
WHICH EDS IS OURHIGH RISK. TO
CONDUCT AN INVENTORY OF ALL
HIGH RES EDS IS THAT ARE BEING
USED TO DEVELOP OR PROCURE BY
PUBLIC AGENCIES THREE ENCOURAGE
A PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR TO
SUBMIT AN ADS IMPACT ASSESSMENT
REPORT. TO EVALUATE THE PRIVACY
AND SECURITY RISKS THE PERSONAL
INFORMATION THAT MAY RESULT IN
UNFAIR BIASED OR DISCRIMINATORY
IMPACT FOR REQUIRED THE STATE
AGENCY AWARDING A CONTRACT TO
PROVIDE A COPY OF THE REPORT TO
ALSO EXPLAIN. HOW THE PUBLIC
CAN ACCESS AND CORRECT THE
RESULTS AND FIVE MAKE THE
REPORT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC
ONLINE IF APPROPRIATE. AS NOTED
BY THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM
GOVERNMENTS DO NOT HAVE THE
LATITUDE OF USING THE BLACK BOX
ALGORITHMS THAT INCREASINGLY
CHARACTERIZE ORGANISMS DEPLOYED
IN THE MARKETPLACE OUR
GOVERNMENT HAS THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
THESE SYSTEMS DO NOT CREATE NEW
HARMS CLOSE RACE TO THE LEGAL.
LEGAL RIGHTS HEALTH AND
ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF
INDIVIDUALS- RESULT IN UNFAIR
BIASED OR DISCRIMINATORY
DECISIONS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR I WILL. THANK YOU SOMEONE
THEM WERE CHA- DO ACCEPT THE
MEMBER THAT ARE PROPOSED YES.
YES THANK YOU- WE HAVE VINCENT
LEE- I BELIEVE ON THE PHONE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS THAT
CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT ALL
RIGHT MR LEE YEAH. A GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY
NAME IS VINCENT LIFE BEGAN ON
BEHALF OF THE GREEN LINING
INSTITUTE WHERE I WORK TO
ENSURE THAT TECHNOLOGY CLOSES
THE RACIAL WEALTH GAP AND BUILD
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. BUT YOU
THE A. I. AND GOVERNMENT THE
GALLERY. YEAH ONLY 30% OF
AMERICANS ARE CONFIDENT THAT
THE GOVERNMENT IS UP TO THE
TASK OF MANAGING A I. PUT THE
BOOKING THE BOND IS A DISTINCT
LACK OF OVERSIGHT AND TECHNICAL
EXPERTISE IN OUR GOVERNMENT.
ESPECIALLY AROUND A. I. IN FACT
YOU CAN TAKE WHAT HAPPENED AT
MICHIGAN- OVER FORTY THOUSAND
pUNEMPLOYMENT FRAUD BY THE
ALGORITHM A COPY WHICH AGAIN
OVER FORTY SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS TO PURCHASE WHAT
HAPPENED AFTER MICHIGAN WAS
INVOLVED IN A CLASS ACTION
LAWSUIT. IT WOULD TURN OVER
SIXTEEN MILLION DOLLARS TO
THOSE AFFECTED THROUGHOUT ALL
OF THIS THE AGENCY IN CHARGE
HAD LITTLE OR NO IDEA OF HOW
THE SYSTEM WORKS OR EXACTLY
WHEN BROCK. INTACT INVESTMENT
WOULD HELP PREVENT THIS OUTCOME
BECAUSE IT WILL HELP THOSE IN
CHARGE UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR
SYSTEM WORKS AND RECOGNIZE THE
ISSUES THAT LED TO MULTIPLE
LAWSUITS AND THE DISASTROUS
ROLLOUT OF THE SYSTEM. THIS IS
WHY WE NEED THE WE DON'T WANT
THAT TO HAPPEN IN CALIFORNIA A.
B. THIRTEEN OF THE WAY TO BUILD
TRUST IN OUR INSTITUTIONS. AND
PROTECT VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES.
AND THE PUBLIC AT ALL THE MORE.
AS WE TO MODERN AND IMPROVE
GOVERNMENT SERVICES- AND YOU
KNOW EIGHTY THIRTEEN IS VERY
MUCH LIKE TOUCH REGULATION OF
AUTOMATED DECISION. THAT WE
TAKE STOCK OF ADMITTING HIRING
A ITEM. WE KNOW WHEN WE'RE
USING AI TO MAKE KEY GOVERNMENT
DECISION. THAT THE DEPARTMENT
TECHNOLOGY TO DEVELOP AND
OPTIONAL IMPACTED SENTIMENT A
QUESTIONNAIRE CENTRALLY BUT AT
THE BELLBIRD. AND GENERALLY
WORK WHETHER THEY'RE A I CAN
HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
ARTICULATE DEPLOYED INCORRECTLY.
AND HOW TO MINIMIZE THOSE RISKS.
SIMPLY PUT THESE ARE THINGS
THAT SHOULD BE TO CLOSE TO
PUBLIC AGENCIES AS A MATTER OF
COURSE AND WILL HELP THEM MAKE
WELL INFORMED DECISIONS WHEN
THEY PROCURE AUTOMATED DECISION.
FINALLY A. B. THIRTEEN IS
NARROWLY TAILORED ONLY APPLYING
CASES OF GOVERNMENT
PROCUREMENT. ONLY INSTANCES
WHERE- THE DECISIONS THAT SOME
DETERMINED THAT THAT THE
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY HOW THE
LEGAL RIGHT. THE DECISIONS
AROUND YOU KNOW PUBLIC BENEFITS
ELIGIBILITY CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SENTENCING OR HOW. IT ALL AREAS
WHERE THE RISK OF A WRONG
DECISION AT HIGH AND YOU KNOW
OUR GOVERNMENT HAS A STRONG
RESPONSIBILITY TO GET IT RIGHT.
AND THEN THANK YOU MR. OKAY

FOR YOUR I. BOATS THANK THANK
YOU. ALL RIGHT. OTHERS IN

HAPPENED THAT WAS NOT NEEDED ON
MY END- BUT- ROAD WHICH WOULD
HELP ME CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HERE SEXUALLY OPPOSED AB
THIRTEEN I'M ARE BEGINNING A
DEBATE ON POLICY CONCERNS AS
WELL ACTUALLY THE BILL. AT A
POLICY LEVEL WE SEE AB THIRTEEN
IT DRIVING UP THE DIFFICULTY OF
BIDDING PARTICULARLY FOR SMALL
EMPLOYERS AND THEREFORE
INCREASING COUGH BOTH
BUSINESSES AND STATE WITHOUT A
CLEAR COMMENSURATE BENEFIT- I
THINK KNOWLEDGE THE A MAN. WE
APPRECIATE THE INTENTION BEHIND
THE CRAZY MAN WE DO NOT DEMAND
THAT ACTUALLY ADDRESSING THE
CORE ISSUES WITH MAGNUS RUNNING-THE DEFINITION OF AUTOMATED
DECISION SYSTEMS FOR HIGH RISK
APPLICATION- I DON'T LIKE THE
FLAG THAT DESPITE THEM AS SOME
AMBIGUITY THE TESTIMONY. BY NO
MEANS LIMITED TO MACHINE
LEARNING AND THOSE KIND OF
SITUATIONS WHERE THAT THAT
SYSTEM INTRODUCING ITS OWN
RULES IN FACT QUITE BROAD- ALSO
LIKE THE BLACK BACKGROUND
ISSUES HERE THEY'RE IMPORTANT
CONSIDERATION. PERSON CALLING
FOR PRIVATE CORRECT THAT WILL
INCLUDE TOUCHING ON THE TOPIC
OF AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING
SYSTEM AND WE DON'T THINK THAT
WE'VE BEEN HAVING DEPARTED
MELODY DRAFTING SIMILAR OR
POTENTIALLY CONFLICTING
DEFINITIONS OF THE THING TERM
AT THE SAME TIME. THERE'S A LOT
THAT THE PRH A REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK THAT MEET THAT TERM.
ALSO IS LIKE THE FLAG AT THE
CORE CONCERN HERE'S
DISCRIMINATION AND
UNINTENTIONAL DISCRIMINATION
BY- PROBABILITY WE DON'T. WE
DON'T ACTUALLY COVERED BY. THE
UNREASONABLE RIGHT BACK HAS
FALLEN- MY CONTRACT THAT ENTITY
SECURING THE UP SOME SOFTWARE
THAT HELP SORT THAT THE- FROM A-
WE'LL PUT IT DOWN TO. BECAUSE
IN THE COSTS. AND THEN IF.
DISCRIMINATION OCCURRED IN THE
EIGHTEEN WITHIN SUED RELATED-THAT. THE BURDEN WOULD ALREADY
ON THE APPLICANT BRINGING THE
SOFTWARE SO WE DON'T THE
DISCRIMINATION AS AN
OUTSTANDING CONCERN GIVEN THAT
FRAMEWORK- I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
NOTE HOPEFULLY BEFORE KIND OF
TIME. THAT WE DO NOT SEE THE
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS THAT MUST
ACCOMPANY THE APPLICATION IT
WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES TO DO ARE THEY A
QUESTIONNAIRE AS QUOTED BY
BELIEVE THAT THE SPONSOR. IF

WANT TO EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION
TO THE AUTHOR FOR TAKING TIME
TO CHAT WITH ME- WE SPOKE AT
GREAT LENGTH- A FEW TO A FEW
DAYS BACK AND- I'VE GIVEN A LOT
OF THOUGHT THIS IS THIS IS A
TOUGH ISSUE- BUT I THINK AT
SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I
EXPRESSED. TO YOU WERE ON
BEFORE I THINK STILL STANDS-
AND I. IF YOU ALLOW ME I THINK
I'D LIKE TO KIND OF WALK JUST
WALK THROUGH SOME OF THE
VULNERABILITIES- IN THE
PROPOSAL. AND A. I. IS
CERTAINLY GOING TO BE IN HAS
BEEN A GAME CHANGER. AND WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO ADJUST- WITH
CERTAIN PRIVACY RELATED
MATTERS- THE CONFINES OF HOW AI
IS INCORPORATED INTO OR OR
DAILY LIFE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT
I THINK THAT WE HAVE WITH THIS
BILL RIGHT HERE IS THAT. A. I.
IS BUILT ON DATA. AND
PREDICTIVE DATA. SO THAT POLICY
MAKERS OR- INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE
THE CONSUMERS OF THAT
INFORMATION USE IT AS A AS A AS
pA PLATFORM. FOR A VARIETY OF
FUNCTIONS SO. SOMETIMES YOU
HAVE BIAS THAT'S ALREADY BUILT
IN- TO THE INFORMATION
GATHERING ALGORITHM. AND THAT
IS PROBLEMATIC AND THEN
SOMETIMES IT IS SELF REALIZING
OVER TIME. I THINK THERE'S TWO
THINGS THAT THEY CAN MAKE THIS
A LITTLE BIT BETTER AND OF
COURSE I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU
THIS YEAR BILL. ONE IS. THESE
THESE BUSINESSES COBBETT IN
VALUE THEIR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY THEY HAVE EVERY REASON
TO PROTECT THAT INTEREST AND BY
FORCIBLY DISCLOSING INFORMATION
ABOUT THE UNDERLYING FACTUAL
ASSUMPTIONS THAT GO INTO A
PLATFORM LIKE THIS. COULD
REALLY COULD REVEAL PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION SO THE IDEA OF
MAKING THE FINDINGS ARE PUBLIC
I THINK IT'S TERRIBLY DANGEROUS
ANIMAL DISINCENTIVE EYES
BUSINESS FROM WANTING TO MOVE
INTO PUBLIC CONTRACTS. AND SO
ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS I
HAD TO YOU AND I'LL LEAVE IT TO
YOU TO CONSIDER WHETHER ITS
MERITORIOUS OR NOT IS NOT
MAKING THIS INFORMATION PUBLIC.
IN ANY FASHION THAT WOULD
REVEAL THE INTELLECTUAL OUR OUR
PRODUCT. THE OTHER IS- THERE
SHOULD BE A SELF CORRECTING
AUDIT SYSTEM WHETHER IT'S
THROUGH THE- MEDIC IN THE- THE
RISK ASSESSMENT OR WHATEVER THE
REPORTING TERMINOLOGIES USED IN
HERE IS THAT IF AN ALGORITHM
REVEALS A DISPARATE IMPACT FOR
AN UNINTENTIONAL DISPARATE
IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS BEING
SINGLED OUT BY VIRTUE OF THE
AREA MODELING. THAT THERE BE A
CORRECTIVE INTERNAL PROCESS
THAT THE STICKER PARTICIPATE IN.
BUT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT WE
HAVE I THINK ONE OF THE CALLERS
POINT OUT IS THAT DO WE HAVE
THE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE TO GET
INTO THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL. AND
I THINK- WHEN YOU ADD ALL THAT
TOGETHER- THIS I THINK WOULD BE
A PERFECT- BUILD TO MOVE INTO A
TWO YEAR PROCESS IN MY
ESTIMATIONS I THINK. THERE ARE
THERE ARE THERE SOME STRONG
MERIT TO WHAT YOU'RE DOING I
HAVE ABSOLUTE RESPECT FOR THIS
AUTHOR. AND DIVING DEEP INTO
THIS AREA. BUT IN ITS CURRENT
FORM. ALLOWING IT TO BE PUBLIC.
COULD DISINCENTIVE VICE PUBLIC
CONTRACT- PURSUITS. FROM
INDIVIDUALS THAT WANT TO
PROTECT. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
ARE NOT GOING TO- ALLOW THAT TO
HAPPEN AND PARTICIPATE. IN
MAKING IT. OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT
CALIFORNIA BRIEF BUREAUCRATS.
REVIEWING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
I'M WORRIED ABOUT THIRD PARTIES
HAVING PUBLIC ACCESS TO DATA
POINTS OR INFORMATION THAT
COULD BE STOLEN AND RE
APPROPRIATED ELSEWHERE IN
INDUSTRY AND OVERSEAS. SO WITH
THOSE I'M I'M GONNA PROBABLY
REFER RESPECTFULLY DECLINED TO
SUPPORT AT THIS TIME BUT I
THINK IT HAS SOMETHING THERE I
WOULD JUST WISH YOU COME BACK
NEXT YEAR WITH A LITTLE BIT
MORE VETTING. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR WORK THOUGH FULLY RESPECT
WHAT YOU'RE DOING ALREADY.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHILD HE WAS
RESPONDING YOUR CLOSE UP I'LL
RESPOND RIGHT OUT THAT'S ALL
RIGHT. YEAH WELL SENATOR THANK
YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION AND THANK
YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO CHAT
WITH ME THE OTHER DAY AND I
DEFINITELY RESPECT YOU FOR.
YOUR POSITION ON THE IMPORTANCE
OF DATA AND ALSO INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY IN FACT- YOU KNOW I'LL
BILL REALLY DOES NOT. REQUIRE
THE DISCLOSURE OF ANY
PARTICULAR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY ON THE PART OF THE
VENDOR IN FACTORIES VERY
SPECIFIC LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT
SAYS THAT YOU KNOW. PLEASE DO
NOT PROVIDE US WITH ANY TRADE
SECRETS OR PROPRIETARY
INFORMATION AND ON TOP OF THAT
THE CD T. WHEN IT RECEIVES ANY
POTENTIAL TRADE SECRETS OR
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION THEY
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOULD NOT
DISCLOSE THAT INFORMATION. TO
IT UNTIL A THIRD POINT IS THAT
YOU KNOW THIS IS ENTIRELY
VOLUNTARY WE ARE ASKING WE ARE
ENCOURAGING THE VENDORS TO
PROVIDE THE INFORMATION IN THE
FORM OF A- IMPACT ASSESSMENT
REPORT. YET THEY DON'T HAVE TO
DO SO AND WHEN THEY DO PROVIDE
INFORMATION DATE TOTALLY HOW
THE DISCUSSION OF WHAT TO
DISCLOSE AND WHAT NOT TO
DISCLOSE TO THE CDT. SO THERE
IS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY ADDRESS THAT
PARTICULAR ISSUE AND- YOU KNOW
WE YOU KNOW WE DON'T DON'T
DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT THESE VENDORS ENTRY
SEQUENCE AND WHATEVER THE CASE
MAY BE. N. ON TOP OF THAT THESE
VENDORS. BEING THE. SUPPLIER OR
THE ODD MAN YOUR THANK THESE
FROM THEY ARE SHOULD KNOW THEY
HAVE. AS TO WHAT IS SO WHAT
WOULD CONSTITUTE TRADE SECRETS
OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TODAY
SHOULD BE IN A BETTER POSITION
TO DISCLOSE TO DECIPHER WHAT
IS. OUR PROPRIETARY VERSUS NON
PROPRIETORY STILL AND THEN R.
AS FAR AS THE SELF CORRECTING
MECHANISM YEAH I THINK THAT'S
ALREADY KIND OF BUILT IN
BECAUSE WHEN WE DO ASK THE
VENDOR TO PROVIDE THE IMPACT
ASSESSMENT REPORT. WEDNESDAY
CONDUCTED HOUSE THEY WILL HAVE
THE ABILITY TO ESSENTIALLY FIND
OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEIR
SYSTEM IF ANYTHING- HIGH LIKE
THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THEIR
SYSTEM. THEY DISCOVERED THAT
YOU KNOW THEIR SYSTEMS WOULD
CREATE SOME KIND OF BIASED OR
DISCRIMINATORY IMPACT ON PEOPLE
THEN D. SHOULD HAVE THEYOU
KNOW THE KNOWLEDGE TO ACTUALLY
OUR SELF CORRECT. TO THE WOULD
BE AUDITING THEMSELVES WE'RE
NOT ASKING FOR INDEPENDENT
AUDITING FIRM AND OUTSIDEWITH
THIRD PARTY. VENDOR BUT YOU
KNOW ESSENTIALLY WE'RE ASKING
THEM TO TELL US WHAT STEPS THEY
HAVE TAKEN TO. BASICALLY A
MEDICARE OR OR- ADDRESS
DIVISIVE SITUATION. BUT BUT
YOUR POINT IS OUT OF WHAT HE
CAN TO. ALL RIGHT OTHER
QUESTIONS COMMENTS SINGLE OTHER
MICROPHONES RAISED AS THEIR
MOTION. SO WHAT COUNTS CAN MOVE

YOUR YOUR- WILLINGNESS TO MEET.

THE COMMITTEE- IN PARTICULAR
CHANGING THE BILL FROM BEING A
REQUIREMENT TO BEING
ENCOURAGED. OTHER SEVERAL

DEFINITIONS- AND HAVING SAID
THAT- MANAGE ACCOUNT SO IF YOU

BILLS WELL- AND THAT IS ITEM.
NUMBER THIRTY THREE FOR THOSE
OF YOU WHO ARE FOLLOWING ALONG.
WITH YOUR PROGRAM ALL RIGHT.
THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU MR
TERREL TAKE A BABY THIRTEEN
FIFTY SIX FIRST FIRST ON THE
AGENDA I WANT TO THANK THE
CHAIR AND YOUR STAFF FOR THE
EXTENSIVE WORK TO ENSURE THE
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION AND I
WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT I'M
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE'S
AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL. AND THE
AMENDMENTS REQUIRE WRITTEN
STATEMENT TO PREVENT POSTING OF
IMAGES OF PATIENTS AND
PROVIDERS THEY WERE FINE THE
LANGUAGE AROUND THE INTENT TO
INTIMIDATE THEY HAD AN EXPRESS
EXEMPTION FOR THE PRESS AND
CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OF
PERSONAL INFORMATION. WITH THAT
TODAY I AM PROUD TO PRESENT AB
THIRTEEN FIFTY SIX A BILL THAT
UPDATES OUR LAWS TO ADDRESS THE
INSIDIOUS THREATS THAT PATIENTS
AND PROVIDERS AND REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CLINICS IN CALIFORNIA
FACE. ROE VERSUS WADE IS THE
LAW OF THE LAND PEOPLE HAVE THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO SEEK
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE HOWEVER
DAILY PROTESTS AND INCREASING
HARASSMENT ONLINE NOW
FUNDAMENTALLY THREATEN THIS
RIGHT EVERY DAY PATIENTS ARRIVE
AT CLINICS AND AGREED WITH
CAMERAS IN THEIR FACES
HARASSMENT PHYSICAL
INTIMIDATION AND THREATS OF
ONLINE BOXING. THESE PATIENTS
ARE MOSTLY UNINSURED AND THE
MAJORITY OF THEM ARE WOMEN OF
COLOR THEY DO NOT HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE OF ANONYMITY AT A
HOSPITAL AS I DID WHEN I WAS
PREGNANT. THEY ARE TARGETED
BASED ON ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE
THAT THEY'RE SEEKING. TODAY
EXTEND BEYOND THE CLINIC
ENTRANCE NEW CAMERA
CAPABILITIES ALLOW PROTESTERS
TO FILM AND IDENTIFY PATIENTS
AND PROVIDERS. SO THAT THEIR
HELPER RIGHTS MEAN NOTHING.
PROTESTERS POST THESE IMAGES ON
WEBSITES TARGETING REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS AND MAKING PROVIDER OF
PERSONAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE
ONLINE TO MILLIONS OF USERS.
THIS DOXING THREATENED LIVES
CURRENT LAW IN THE FACE ACT WAS
WRITTEN DECADES AGO AND DOES
NOT REFLECT THE SEVERITY OF THE
THREAT. PROTESTER GROUPS ARE
WELL ORGANIZED AND WELL FUNDED
THE LOW FINES AND PENALTIES
HAVE SIMPLY NOT DETERRED THEM.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE PRIVACY
AND PHYSICAL SAFETY OR PRE
REQUISITES FOR ACCESSIBLE
HEALTHCARE ESPECIALLY
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE.
SOMEHOW WE'VE ACCEPTED THE
STATUS QUO. OVER PENALIZES
MARIJUANA POSSESSION BUT LEAVE
THESE YOUNG WOMEN OF COLOR
VICTIMS OF DEATH THREATS SIMPLY
FOR SEEKING TREATMENT. AB
THIRTEEN FIFTY SIX UPDATES ARE
LOST TO INCREASE FINES FOR THE
ONLINE HARASSMENT AND
INTENTIONALLY TERRORIZING
PROVIDERS AND PATIENTS. IT ALSO
INCLUDES NEEDED TRAINING FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT AND ACTUALLY TO
ACTUALLY PROSECUTE THESE CRIMES
AND PROTECT CLINICS. TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF A. B. THIRTEEN
FIFTY SIX I'M JOINED VIA PHONE

HARASSED AND THREATENED
ABORTION PROVIDERS FOR DECADES
BECAUSE LIKE ACTIVE VIOLENCE
AGAINST PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS.
HEALTH CENTERS ARE SEEING A
DRAMATIC INCREASE IN
THREATENING SECURITY INCIDENTS
OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS. THE
TACTICS OF ANTI ABORTION
EXTREMIST BIRD RESTED AND
DESIGNED TO FRIGHTEN AND
INTIMIDATE PATIENTS FROM
SEEKING MUCH NEEDED HEALTH CARE
SERVICES. AND CLINIC STAFF AND
PROVIDING THAT CARE BECAUSE
THEY'RE WORRIED FOR THEIR
SAFETY AND PRIVACY.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR TOO LONG
THERE'S BEEN A CULTURAL
COMPLACENCY AROUND EIGHTY ANTI
ABORTION TERRORISM WHICH HAS
HELPED IN BOLDON IN NORMAL LIFE
THREATENING BEHAVIOR OUTSIDE.
OF THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE
FACILITIES. IT THIRTEEN FIFTY
SIX UPDATED THE THING OF. THAT
SPECIFICALLY PROTECT
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE
PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS TO
REFLECT THE REAL THREAT THE
DIGITAL AGE. THESE PATIENTS AND
PROVIDERS FACE HARASSING AND
THREATENING BEHAVIORS THAT THEY
WALK OR DRIVE TO THEIR DOCTORS
APPOINTMENTS OR TO WORK. THE
CASE BEING RECORDED BY BODY
CAMERAS GOT TO PEOPLE WHO
FOLLOW THEM AS THEY APPROACH
THE BUILDING OR HAVEN'T FOUND
THEIR THEIR CARDS BEING BILLED
AS A PARKING ENTER THE HELP
CENTER. FOR PATIENTS ARE TRYING
TO ACCESS SENSITIVE SERVICES
THESE ACTIONS INCITE FEAR TO
DETERRENT ON. GETTING THE CARE
THEY NEED AND IN DANGER THAT BY
WIDELY IDENTIFYING THEM ONLINE
AS PATIENT TO PROVIDER OF
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE
SERVICES. PATIENTS THAT HAVE A
CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED
RIGHT TO PRIVACY WHEN ACCESSING
IMPORTANT SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CARE SERVICES. AND THEY
SHOULD BE FREE OF INTIMIDATION
AND THREATS. FOR THESE REASONS

MISTER CLEAR WE DO NOT HAVE ANY

BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE-
I SEE NO MICRO ALL I DO SEE ONE
WOULD RAISE CENTER BY CAL SKI.
YES- MISTER CHAIR I'VE I FEEL
COMPELLED TO SAY SOMETHING AS A
LEGISLATOR- WHO'S IT READILY.
SADLY SAY TO FOLKS THAT I'M PRO
CHOICE AND I HAVE A 100% VOTING
RECORD IN MY ELEVEN YEARS HERE
I'M ALSO AN ATTORNEY. AND THIS
LEGISLATION CAUSES ME IS A
GREAT CONCERN LET ME EXPLAIN
IT'S OFTEN THE CASE WITH FIRST
AMENDMENT. RIGHTS TO FREE
SPEECH AND FREE EXPRESSION IT'S
EASY SUPPORT FREE SPEECH WHEN
YOU LIKE THE SPEECH THAT YOU'RE
HEARING. BUT IT'S FAR MORE
DIFFICULT TO SUPPORT THE RIGHT
TO FREE SPEECH WHEN YOU FIND
THE MESSAGE REPUGNANT. AND
THAT'S PRECISELY THE TIME THAT
IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR US TO
DEFEND THIS RIGHT. I RECOGNIZE
THAT THIS BILL IS MADE HAD
MANY- A MAN MR TAKEN BY THE BY
THE AUTHOR BUT IT DOES CALL OUT
THE FACT THAT THE EXISTING
CRIMES ARE NOT BEING PROSECUTED
PROSECUTED IN SOME PLACES IN
OUR STATE. BUT I CANNOT VOTE
TODAY TO SUPPORT. OF ONE
HUNDRED FOOT A PRUNER AROUND
THE HEALTH FACILITY JUSTIN THIS
IS I WOULD NOT SUPPORT A
HUNDRED FOOT PRIMER AROUND A-
GUN STORE OR COURTHOUSE. THIS
BILL MAY NOT BE DISCRIMINATORY
ON ITS FACE IT'S PLAINLY
DISCRIMINATORY IN THIS FACT FOR
THOSE REASONS AS A STAUNCH PRO
CHOICE SENATOR AND A SUPPORTER
OF WOMEN'S RIGHTS. I REGRETTED
REGRETTABLY CANNOT SUPPORT IT
TODAY. THANK YOU SO I CAL SKI-
SEEING NO OTHER MICROPHONES
RAISED. IS THERE A MOTION YES
AND A CONSULT. SENATORS ALSO
MOVES THE BILL ALL RIGHT- SOME
REMEMBER DO YOU CARE TO CLOSE
THANK YOU MR CHAIR I'LL JUST
ADDRESS THE COMMENTS OF OUR
COLLEAGUE- HI TO BETTER TOURNEY
AND ONE WHO BELIEVES DEEPLY IN
THE CONSTITUTION THE FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHT BUT AS YOU AND
THE MANY LAWYERS HAVE TOUCHED
THIS INCLUDING A PLANNED
PARENTHOOD THE ACLU AND THE
COMMITTEES WHICH HAVE BEEN
BEFORE. WE ARE ALLOWED TO
RESTRICT SPEECH WHEN THERE IS A
COMPELLING GOVERNMENT INTEREST
AND IT IS NARROWLY TAILORED I
WOULD FIRST SAY THAT THE FACE
ACT IS ALREADY IN LOS SO MOST
OF THIS IS ALREADY BEEN IN
PLACE AND IS CLEARLY
CONSTITUTIONAL AND THERE'S NO
QUESTION THAT THERE IS A
COMPELLING GOVERNMENT INTEREST
TO ENSURE ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE
AND THAT MEANS ALL HEALTHCARE
INCLUDING REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
CARE. AND WE WORKED INCREDIBLY
HARD TO NARROWLY TAILOR THIS
BILL TO ENSURE. THAT THOSE. YOU
WANT TO SPEAK HAVE THE RIGHT TO
AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
THE RIGHT TO. BUT THEY WILL NOT
HAVE TO CONTINUE THE ABILITY TO
CONTINUE TO INTIMIDATE.
THREATEN AND STOP THESE
PATIENTS FROM GETTING THE
HEALTHCARE THEY DESERVE. SO I
STAND FIRMLY BEHIND THIS BILL
BELIEVE IT'S CONSTITUTIONAL
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR PRIVATE.
THANK YOU MADAM CHIEF COUNSEL
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL YES IS AB
THIRTEEN FIFTY SIX BY A FAMILY
MEMBER. OUR K. HAAN- BUT THE
MOTION BY SENATOR GONZALES. THE
MOTION IS TO PASS AS AMENDED
BUT FIRST AMENDED AND RE
REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS AMBERG. AMBERG
BY BARGES. HEAVY AT ALL. THE
RUSSELL GONZALEZ GONZALEZ I
HURTS BURKE. JONES JONES NO
LAYERED SKINNER STERN STERN I
WAKE HOUSEKI NO WHITE HOUSE SKI
KNOWS SO FAR YOU HAVE TO READ
IT TO YOU WITH MEMBERS MISSING.
ALL RIGHT WE'LL PUT THAT ON
CALL- NEXT TO- ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BARK AND YOU'RE GOING TO
PRESENT ITEM NUMBER THIRTY
THREE WHICH IS- A. B. TEN
EIGHTY FOUR BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER
LOW SAT CORRECT YES THANK YOU
GUYS FOR TRAVELERS YEARS- I
WANT TO START BY THANKING THE
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT FOR YOUR
THOROUGH ANALYSIS THIS BILL
REQUIRES A RETAILER WITH FIVE
HUNDRED OR MORE EMPLOYEES.
EMPLOYED IN CALIFORNIA PROVIDE
GENDER NEUTRAL RETAIL SECTION
OF TOYS IN CHILD CARE ITEMS IF
THEY CHOOSE TO MAINTAIN THE
LABELING OF KIDS SECTIONS BY
BOYS AND GIRLS. THE RETAILER
CHOOSES TO SIMPLY LABEL TOYS
OUR KIDS HE DID DISH ON GENDER
NEUTRAL SECTION WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY IN TODAY'S CULTURE IS
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
STOP REINFORCING GENDER NORMS
THEY CAN BE HARMFUL. I WANT TO
NOTE THAT THIS LEGISLATION DOES
NOT APPLY TO SMALL BUSINESSES
AND THE KOBE NINETEEN
RESTRICTIONS LESSENING KIDS
START GOING BACK TO SCHOOL WE
WANT TO PROCESS THEIR SHOPPING
TO BE A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE
AFTER AN UNPRECEDENTED YEAR OF
STRESS WE ARE CREATING A
WELCOMING PLACE FOR ALL
CHILDREN SO THEY CAN WEAR WHAT
THEY LIKE AND MOVE AWAY FROM
THE STEREOTYPES OF THE ONLY
BLUE FOR BOYS AND ONLY PINK FOR
GIRLS. AS A MOTHER MYSELF WHO
HAS BOTH SONS AND A DAUGHTER
I'VE TAKEN MY CHILDREN TO
STORES AND BE DISAPPOINTED WHEN
MY DAUGHTER HAD TO GO TO A
SECTION LABELED BOYS IN ORDER
TO GET TOYS THAT ALLOWED HER TO
BUILD OR DO SCIENCE. THE GENDER
STEREOTYPES THAT ARE BEING
REINFORCED OUR STORES TODAY
LEAVE A CHILD TO FEEL JUDGED OR
IS IT THE ACTIVITY BUT HERE SHE
IS CHOOSING ISN'T APPROPRIATE.
AND SO THIS IS A SIMPLE CHANGE
THAT. THAT STOPS THE
STEREOTYPES FROM BEING
REINFORCED AND ENSURES THAT OUR
CHILDREN ARE WELCOMED
EVERYWHERE. OUR OWN INCLUDING
ABERCROMBIE H. AND M. OLD NAVY
JOHN LEWIS AND ZARA WHICH ONCE
UNISEX APPAREL LINES FOR KIDS
MEANWHILE TARGET MADE HEADLINES
IN TWENTY FIFTEEN WHEN IT
DECIDED TO DO AWAY WITH THOSE
GENDER BASED SCIENCE IN SOME
DEPARTMENTS SUCH AS HOME AND
TOYS. THE LITTLE GIRL LIKE MY
DAUGHTER WANTS TO SIGN SKATER
DINOSAUR TOY TO PLAY WITH SHE
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK ME TO
TAKE HER TO A VOICE SECTION SHE
SHOULDN'T FEEL LIKE SHE'S
BUYING THE WRONG WAY WE SHOULD
SIMPLY LET THESE KIDS BE KIDS.
THIS WON'T HURT ANYONE BUT IT
COULD DEFINITELY HELP A LOT OF
CHILDREN. WITH ME TODAY IS
BRITAIN SIRES AND ANJALI SOURCE
ON BEHALF OF ROBERT SMITH AND
THE FOOD PRODUCT. THANK YOU

EIGHTY FOURTH TURNED OUT OF MY
YEAH BUT I NEVER THOUGHT I
WOULD GET THIS FAR THERE ARE SO
MANY LITTLE KIDS OUT THERE WHO
DON'T NECESSARILY FIT INTO
SOCIETY'S EXPECTATIONS IT CAN
BE SO HARD FOR THEM TO LOOK AT
A PARTY IN THE GIRLS SECTION
FOR TORY DANCER IN THE BOYS
SECTION AND FEEL EYES ON THEM
AS THEY WALKED INTO. A SECTION
LABELED FOR THE OPPOSITE GENDER
I ASK WHO ARE SUPPORTIVE OF ME
BUT NOT EVERY KID HAS I CAN
JUST IMAGINE A CHILD BEING
PULLED OUT OF A SECTION LABELED
FOR THE OPPOSITE GENDER WELL
WHAT IF IT WASN'T LIKE THAT
WHAT IS THE TWENTY THIRD
TEARING DOWN THE WALLS BETWEEN
ACTS ACTS ACTS WINES AND MADE
SO MANY KIDS FEEL. LIKE THEY
BELONG YEAH I MEAN I GUESS I'M
JUST TRYING TO MAKE KIDS. FEEL
COMFORTABLE PLAYING WITH TOYS
FROM. FROM BOTH A GIRL AND BOYS

YOU. AND THERE ARE NO OTHERS IN
THE QUEUE AT THIS TIME ALREADY
LET'S NOW TURN TO. HELLO HELLO
YES. THIS IS ANDRE PARK I'VE
BEEN TRYING TO SPEAK BUT
UNFORTUNATELY YOU COULDN'T HEAR
ME ALL RIGHT. YOU'RE YOU'RE NOW
ON THE LINE. THANK YOU AND
THANK YOU BRIGHTEN YOUR LEADER
AND AN INSPIRATION I FELT WOULD
BE WISE TO LISTEN TO OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE MORE. HI MY NAME IS
ANJALI FORTHCOMING EXECUTIVE AT
THE FLUID PROJECT AND GENDER
FREE FASHION BRANDS I DON'T GET
TO IT OUR GENDER BENDING
EXPANDED TRAINING PLATFORM
OPERA CORPORATION I'M THINKING
TODAY THE PROFESSIONAL INVOLVED
IN THE SPACE BUT ALSO AS A
MOTHER. A MOTHER WHO IS TRYING
HARD TO READ HER CHILD FREE
FROM OUTDATED GENDER ROLES AND
STEREOTYPES THAT SOCIETY PLACES
UPON US. LET'S BEGIN BY NOTING
THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING TODAY IS
NOTHING NEW LIKE WE HEARD
EARLIER MAJOR RETAILERS ARE
ALREADY ADOPTING MEASURES TO BE
GENDER THE DEPARTMENTS. TARGET
HAS ADOPTED GENDER NEUTRAL BABY
CLOTHING DATE THE GENDERED TOYS
AND BEDDING AND WHO WILL DO THE
SAME. WITH KIDS SHOES- IF I USE
MY THE- MY SON PLAYS WITH HIS
DOLL. THESE CALL AND TAKE WALKS
IN THEIR STROLLER AND I'M
INCREDIBLY PLEASED BY THEIR
BECAUSE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS
PRACTICE. CAN LEAD TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A MORE SENSITIVE
CARING HUMAN UNFORTUNATELY
DESTROYED WOULD BE CONSIDERED
GIRL WICE BY MANY. BAD
BASKETBALL. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW
TO BE TRUE SOCIETAL
EXPECTATIONS AROUND GENDER
IMPACT EACH AND EVERYONE OF US.
WE ARE LIMITED BY GENDER BINARY
CONSTRUCTS ALL OF US. BOYS ARE
RAISED FULL OF AMBITION
OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCCESS HOLD
WHICH CHOICE THEY CAN PLAY
WITHIN WHICH THEY CAN. GIRLS
ARE TAUGHT TO BE NURTURING ME
AND CRYING BUT EQUALLY LIMITING
SELECTION OF TOYS. IF YOU WALK
THROUGH A TYPICAL RETAILER YOU
WILL FIND A GIRL SECTION FULL
OF PINK AND GLITTER WITH
LANGUAGE. LIKE MILE STAY HAPPY.
BUT OTHER SIDE OF AISLE WITH
BLUE AND GRAY WITH GLAND
READING. LEGEND FUTURE-
HOPEFULLY RETAILERS WILL WAKE
UP ONE DAY BUT HOW MUCH LONGER
WILL CALIFORNIA CHILDREN HAVE
TO WAIT. CHILDREN WHO HAVE THE
ABILITY TO PLAY AND EXPRESS
THEMSELVES WITH THEIR OWN
CREATIVITY GROW UP TO HAVE A
GREATER AWARENESS OF THEIR
IDENTITY AND SELF ESTEEM AND
BECOME AGENTS OF GENDER
EQUALITY. I REALIZE THIS MAY
SEEM. SMALL AND PERHAPS
INCONVENIENT FOR SOME BUT
DECONSTRUCTING THE AREA IS JUST
THE BEGINNING OF UNLEASHING A
YOUNGER PERSON FULL POTENTIAL.
WE ARE CAPABLE OF AND I BELIEVE
RESPONSIBLE TO CREATE SAFE
SPACES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE FOR ALL
PEOPLE REALLY CAN'T. START.
THANK YOU THE SOURCE IF YOU
COULD WRAP IT UP. SURE I JUST
WANNA WRAP THAT THEY THINK
THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
AND I REALLY AM VERY MUCH IN
SUPPORT OF THE SELF. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. OKAY LET'S TURN TO
OPPOSITION MISTER GREG BIRD IN
OPPOSITION TO. AB. ONE ZERO
EIGHT FOUR. SURE REMEMBERS MY
NAME'S GREG BIRD WITH THE
CALIFORNIA FAMILY COUNCIL WE
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS TO
THE BILL AND REMOVING THE BAN
ON SEPARATING CHILDREN'S
CLOTHES AND TOYS BY SEX AND NOW
CHILDREN'S CLOTHES HAVE BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE BILL AS WELL
SO THAT'S GOOD. BUT WE STILL
OBJECT TO THE STATE DICTATING
TO RETAIL STORES HOW TO MARKET
THEIR PRODUCTS TO THE CUSTOMERS
FIRST OFF THE BILL IS CONFUSING
AND IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLY WITH
THE BILL REQUIRES A RETAIL
STORE TO CREATE A GENDER
NEUTRAL SECTION OR A REASONABLE
NUMBER OF EIGHT ITEMS ARE TO BE
PLACED. BUT THE BILL DOES NOT
THE FINAL WORD REASONABLE NOR
DOES IT EXPLAIN WHAT ITEMS
SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE JUNE
GENDER NEUTRAL SECTION. IF A
PARTICULAR ITEM IS INCLUDED.
WON'T THAT GIVES SOME A CHILD
OR ACTIVIST A REASON TO
COMPLAIN WHO WILL RESOLVE THESE
DISPUTES. NO STORE WILL EVER BE
ABLE TO KNOW FOR SURE IF
THEY'RE COMPLYING. A BILL LIKE
THIS ALTHOUGH ALSO OPENS THE
DOOR TO A NEVER. ENDING NUMBER
OF COMPLAINTS FROM ACTIVIST
GROUPS WHO DON'T LIKE THE WAY
STORES ARE MARKETING THEIR
PRODUCTS TO ONE SEX OR ANOTHER.
RETAIL STORES HAVE A RIGHT TO
BE LEFT ALONE TO DECIDE HOW
BEST TO MARKET THE PRODUCTS TO
THEIR CUSTOMERS BASED ON WHAT
MARKET RESEARCH TELLS THEM THE
CONSUMERS WANT. IT WILL NOT BE
PERFECT THEY WILL GET IT WRONG
SOMETIMES BUT WHEN THEY GET IT
WRONG THAT PRODUCT WON'T SELL.
THE MARKET MARKET WILL DO A
BETTER JOB OF MEETING PUBLIC
NEEDS AND THEN YOUR LAW WILL. A
LITTLE MARKER SEE THAT PROTECTS
THE FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION LIKE
CARS. NO INDIVIDUAL OR
LEGISLATOR HAS THE RIGHT TO
TELL A COMPANY OWNER WHAT
MESSAGES ABOUT GENDER THEY CAN
USE TO SELL THEIR PRODUCTS.
STATE LEGISLATORS NEED TO STOP
FORCING THEIR PERSONAL OPINIONS
UPON THOSE THEY DISAGREE WITH.
THIS IS THE ILLEGAL USE OF
POWER. LEGISLATOR SHOULD
RESPECT THE VIEWS OF OTHER
PEOPLE AND TRIED TO PERSUADE
THEM TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS
INSTEAD OF USING THEIR
LEGISLATIVE POWER TO FORCE
THEIR VIEWS ON OTHERS. IT'S A
VIOLATION OF FREE SPEECH
BECAUSE IT'S COMPELLED THE
GOVERNMENT SPEECH THE

STRUCTURE THAT WILL PROVIDE
CALPERS INTERNAL STAFF. THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECTLY LEND
MONEY TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
COMPANIES. BRINGING SOME OF THE
MANAGEMENT OF THESE LOANS IN

FEES WE PAY TO EXTERNAL
INVESTMENT MANAGERS. WHILE ALSO
GIVING US MORE CONTROL OVER THE
LOANS WE MAKE. WHEN MAKING
THESE LOANS STAFF WE NEED TO
ENSURE THE LOANS ARE CONSISTENT
WITH THE POLICIES SET BY THE

MISTER YEAH WAIT ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK

ONLINE. ALL RIGHT- HAVING HEARD
FROM ALL OPPOSITION WITNESSES-
BRING IT BACK TO THE FLOOR SAID
EARLIER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MISTER CHAIR- I HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS OF THE AUTHOR IT IS
ALWAYS KIND OF FUNNY BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T FACE THE AUTHOR WHILE
YOU'RE ASKING THE QUESTIONS AND
BE ON THE MARK BUT- FIRST. THE
WITNESS FROM THE RETIRED PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES AND OUR ANALYSIS SAYS
THE H. R. AMENDMENTS THAT THEY
REQUESTED WERE TAKEN- AND HE
SAID IN HIS TESTIMONY THAT.
THEY WEREN'T TAKEN COULD YOU
CLARIFY WHETHER YOU HAVE TAKEN
THE AMENDMENTS THAT THEY OFFER.
WE TOOK A MINISTRY COMMITTEE
AND MR STORIES NEVER GIVES
AMENDMENTS ARE COULD YOU
PREPARE MYSELF SORRY. WE TOOK A
MINUTE FOR THE COMMITTEE MR
SOARES NEVER DO WITH AMENDMENTS.
THEY WERE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
I BELIEVE IT WAS ON PAGE NINE
ABOUT THE AUTHOR ATTESTED TO
ACCEPTING- IF THAT MIGHT ANSWER
QUESTIONS. OKAY IT ON PAGE TEN
IT SAYS THEY WERE PLEASED WITH
THE OMIT AMENDMENTS BUT HE SAID
IN HIS TESTIMONY THAT THEY HAD
SO IT IF IN FACT THERE ARE MANY
MYTHS THEY HAVE WOULD YOU
CONSIDER THEM IT SOUNDS LIKE
FROM THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION
THAT. I MEAN COULD YOU REVIEW
pWERE THESE CENTER THAT WAS ALL
THE DISINGENUOUS STATEMENT BY
MR SOROS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT
ELSE TO TELL YOU IT WAS
DISINGENUOUS ON HIS PART. SO
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE
OFFERED YOU ANY AMENDMENTS.
THEY MAY HAVE OFFERED WAS A
CALIPER THAT WE TAKE THEIR NAME
AND SO THERE'S A LOT OF
QUESTIONS BACK AND FORTH BUT I
MEAN THE WHOLE I'VE I'VE I'VE
BEEN HERE SEVEN YEARS SENATOR
AND JUST THE WHOLE INFLAMMATORY
BILLIONAIRES THE BOOGEYMAN AND
DISPLAYS STATEMENT ALONE- VERY
INFLAMMATORY OUR GET THAT
THAT'S INFLAMMATORY IF HE'S A
CONSTITUENT AND I KNOW HIM OKAY
AND- IF HE SAID THEY OFFER
AMENDMENTS I BELIEVE HIM SO.
LET'S JUST TRY TO GET TO THE
BOTTOM OF THE DISHES THEY'VE
OFFERED. AMENDMENTS I WOULD
HOPE YOU WOULD LOOK AT THEM.
EIGHT AND SIX SECOND WORRY-
THERE WAS TESTIMONY AGAINST AND
THERE IS IN THE IN THE ANALYSIS
FROM VERY VERY S- CLIMATE
ACTIVISTS PHILOSOPHY CALIFORNIA
AND THERE WASTHE- THE THREE
FIFTY SILICON VALLEY AND YET
WHEN I READ THE ANALYSIS IT
DOESN'T TELL ME WHY- ADVOCATES
IN CLIMATE WOULD OPPOSE THE
BILL DO YOU KNOW COULD YOU
SPEAK TO THAT AT ALL. I'M NOT
SURE THE RATIONALE IS HERE WITH
HER THINKING IS. THEN THE MAIN
ISSUE I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT.
IS THAT WHEN THIS BILL CAME UP
IN THE PRIOR COMMITTEE. I WAS
CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THERE BE ACCOUNTABILITY WITHIN
PERS. THAT IF THERE'S NOT
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF THESE
LOANS OR THE TRANSACTIONS WHICH-
MAY WELL BE TOTALLY
APPROPRIATE- THAT PRIVATELY THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PURSE
WOULD HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY AND
BE ABLE TO BE ON TOP OF THIS
AND IF THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT
WASN'T RIGHT. IT WOULD. ARE
THERE WOULD BE ACCOUNTABILITY
THROUGH THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE
ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS OF HERS.
BANNON ASKING PERSON AT THAT
HEARING I COULDN'T GET A CLEAR
ANSWER IN THE LETTER- THAT CAME
SUBSEQUENTLY. TALKS ABOUT THEIR
PROCESS FOR DAT IN LOTS OF
OTHER THINGS BUT IT DOESN'T
SEEM TO ADDRESS THAT CLEARLY
AND THEN SOMEBODY SENT ME-
SOMEBODY SENT ME A STATEMENT
THAT SAYS ALL INVESTMENT
DOCUMENTS ARE MADE AVAILABLE TO
THE BOARD PRIOR TO AND AFTER
UNDERWRITING IF THE STAFF
BELIEVES THERE'S ANY PROBLEM
WITH AN EXISTING OR PENDING
INVESTMENT THAT IS FRAUDULENT
DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS ARE
POTENTIAL DEFAULT STAFF IS
REQUIRED TO INFORM THE BOARD OF
ANY CONCERNS AND ANY BOARD
MEMBER CAN REQUEST ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTS FOR FURTHER
INVESTIGATION. THIS IS THERE
SOMEBODY THAT STILL ON THE LINE
FROM PURSE THEY COULD SAY
WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S TRUE
BECAUSE IT DIDN'T COME CLEARLY
FROM THE LOBBYIST AND IT
DIDN'T- GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
PERSON IT DIDN'T COME CLEARLY
IN THE LETTER BUT IT COMES
CLEARLY IN THAT STATEMENT IS
THAT STATEMENT TRUE. THROUGH
THE CHAIR. SENATOR MISTER BROWN
ZERO LIKE TO HAVE AN ADDRESS
THAT ISSUE. THE CARD IS THE
MIKE BACK ON ARE THERE WE GO-
MISTER BROWN YOU WOULD YOU-
CARROT DANCER THAT. THE MIKE'S
NOT ON THERE HI THERE. YEAH
GOING ON NOW OKAY- THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION- SENATOR
LAYERED AND I DO APOLOGIZE FOR
NOT BEING ABLE TO CLEARLY-
ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THE FIRST
TIME- WHAT I WOULD SAY THAT FOR
THE MOST PART THAT IS TRUE BUT
I WOULD BE RELUCTANT TO SAY
THAT ALL DOCUMENTS ARE
PROVIDED. YOU KNOW TO THE BOARD
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A LOT OF
DOCUMENTS THAT STUFF LOOKS
LOOKS OUT BUT ULTIMATELY THE
BOARD AS FIDUCIARIES ARE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL INVESTMENT
DECISIONS THEN THEY SET THE
POLICIES AND DELEGATE.
AUTHORITY TO STAFF TO MAKE
THOSE INVESTMENTS BUT THE STAFF
MUST KEEP THE BOARD INFORMED OF
THE INVESTMENTS THAT THEY'RE
MAKING WHILE THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH THE PROCESS SO THEY ARE
KEPT INFORMED THEIR PROVIDED
INFORMATION AS THE BILL'S GOING
AS OF PROPOSALS GOING THROUGH
DUE DILIGENCE ONCE A PROPOSAL
IS- FINALIZED UNDER THEIR BOARD
DELEGATED AUTHORITY AT ANY ANY
TIME SOMETHING FALLS OUT OF
THE- OUT OF THE- IS. OUT OF THE
BOARD POLICY OR DELEGATED
AUTHORITY THEY'RE REQUIRED TO
BRING THAT TO THE BOARD'S
ATTENTION AND OBVIOUSLY THEY'RE
GOING TO BRING ANY OTHER
PROBLEMS THAT MAY ARISE WITH
THAT. ENTITY THAT MAY IMPACT
THE INVESTMENT TO THE BOARD'S
ATTENTION THEN THEN MAYBE I
SHOULD GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL
QUESTION OF THE LAST HEARING.
AND THAT QUESTION WAS
BASICALLY- IF THE BOARD IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR REVIEWING FEES
OR HAS THE ACCOUNTABILITY HOW
DID THEY KNOW. ONE ONE OF THE
POTENTIAL TRANSACTIONS IS
FLAWED BECAUSE THE ANSWER THAT
THREW US OFF IN THE LAST
HEARING WAS. THEY COULD REQUEST
PAPERS OR BACKGROUND DOCUMENTS
ABOUT ANY TRANSACTION BUT THEY
WOULD HAVE TO KNOW THAT THAT
TRANSACTION IS FLAWED OR
THERE'S SOMETHING THERE AND
WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET AT. IS
HOW WAS THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY
HOW DO THEY KNOW WITHOUT THEM
HAVING TO GUESS WHERE THERE'S A
PROBLEM. IN A WAY THAT THERE'S
TRUE ACCOUNTABILITY BY KEEPING
THIS PRIVATE. BUT HAVING A
PUBLICLY ELECTED BOARD THAT IS
ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANNA. ANNA OKAY
AND THE REASON I GO BACK TO
THAT QUESTION IS I'M NOT SURE
YOU JUST AGREED TO THE
STATEMENT THAT I READ TO YOU
THAT ONE OF THE ADVOCATES GAVE
TO ME. THAT ADDRESSES THAT
ISSUE SO LET'S GO BACK TO THAT.
SO HOW DO WE KNOW THERE'S
ACCOUNTABILITY WITH THE BOARD
IN THESE TRANSACTIONS. IN YOUR
UNIT ADDRESSING THAT TO MISTER
BROWN OR YES ANDREW THE CHAIR
TO MISTER BROWN SORRY WE WERE
HAVING A DIALOGUE SO- SURE- SO
THE- STAFF. BRINGS THOSE TO THE
BOARD'S ATTENTION THE BOARD
REQUIRES CERTAIN INFORMATION TO
COME TO THE BOARD- FOR THESE
INVESTMENTS SO THOSE WOULD BE
BROUGHT TO THE BOARD'S
ATTENTION FROM FROM STAFF THEY
COULD ALSO BE BROUGHT TO THE
BOARD'S ATTENTION. THROUGH
THEIR- INDEPENDENT. CONSULTANT
THAT THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT TO
OVERSEE THE INVESTMENTS AND
THEN OBVIOUSLY THEY MAY PICK UP
SOMETHING THEMSELVES FOR A
STAKEHOLDER. NEWSPAPER OR
SOMETHING COMES TO THEIR
ATTENTION THEY MAY I STAFF
THOSE SO. I THINK THERE'S A
NUMBER OF AVENUES BUT
ULTIMATELY. I THINK IT'S THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
INVESTMENT TEAM TO- FIGURE
THOSE THINGS OUT AND BRING
THOSE TO THE BOARD'S ATTENTION
SO THEY'RE AWARE OF THE- WEAR
OF THEM THEYCAN GIVE THEM
EXTRA SCRUTINY. IF THEY NEED TO.
THEN. OKAY THEN LET ME DRIVE
THIS IS A THIRD WAY IF IT'S
OKAY THROUGH THE CHAIR. BOMB.
HOW DO WE KNOW THAT SOMETHING
DOESN'T GO ON FOR A WHILE
BEFORE IT'S BROUGHT TO THE
ATTENTION OF THE BOARD R. I
MEAN WERE BEING ASKED TO TAKE A
LEAP HERE AND I THINK IN
EXCHANGE FOR TAKING AWAY WE
WANT TO KNOW THAT THERE'S
ACCOUNTABILITY AND ABILITY TO
GET ON A PROBLEM IN SHORT ORDER.
I MEAN THE- WELL THE WAY TOO
FAR AWAY FROM THE C. SPEAKER
HER THE MIKE- I MEAN THE BOARD.
IS THE FIDUCIARY SO THEY HAVE
ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL
INVESTMENTS AND THEN THE STAFF
ALSO HAS A FIDUCIARY DUTY TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE MAKING.
INVESTMENTS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF OUR OF OUR-
RECIPIENTS AND OBVIOUSLY THERE
ARE LEGAL ISSUES THAT THEY
DON'T DO THAT THEY CAN GET SUED
THERE'S- YOU KNOW STIRS-
STAKEHOLDERS WILL BRING IT TO
YOU KNOW BRING. THIS UP TO THEM
I MEAN THERE'S OBVIOUSLY- THE
LEGISLATURE HAS OVERSIGHT IF
THEY'RE NOT DOING THE RIGHT
THING SO RIGHT I THINK THAT.
YOU KNOW ULTIMATELY THEY HAVE
TO PUT IN PLACE THE SAFEGUARDS
SO THAT THE STAFF KNOWS WHEN TO
BRING THINGS TO THEIR ATTENTION
AND STAFF HAS THE EXPERTISE TO
KNOW WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH THE PARTICULAR INVESTMENT.
THAT CONCLUDES YOUR INQUIRY YES
IT DOES I. I STILL FEEL
AMBIVALENT. BUT I APPRECIATE
THE EXCHANGE HAVEN'T FIGURED
OUT WHAT I'M GONNA DO YET THANK
YOU AND I APPRECIATE THE
INDULGENCE. OF THE COMMITTEE
BEEN A LONG HERE I ALWAYS
PROMOTE- DIALOGUE AND EXCHANGE.
NOW MOVING ON TO OUR OUR
FEARLESS CHAIRMAN I DO BELIEVE
HE WANTED TO PARTICIPATE. WELL
THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIR THANK
YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT
CHAIRMANSHIP THERE I'M GONNA
LEAVE YOU AS THE CHAIR HERE
UNTIL WE FINISH THIS BILL- AND
I MISSED SOME OF THE COLLOQUY.
BUT FOLLOWING ON TO WHAT I
THINK CENTER LAYERED WAS
TALKING ABOUT- IN TERMS OF
TRANSPARENCY. AND
ACCOUNTABILITY- AND I KNOW
ASSEMBLYMEMBER COOPER YOU WHAT
I'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS BILL WE
SPENT SOME TIME. TRYING TO
CONTINUE THAT QUEST FOR
ADEQUATE TRANSPARENCY AND STILL
FULFILLING THE GOAL WHICH IS-
MAKING SURE THAT IN A- WAY THAT
THE TAXPAYERS CAN BE PROUD OF.
THAT THAT WE MAXIMIZE PROFIT
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT I RECALL
YOU YOU'RE CONTINUING
COMMITMENT. TO WORK ON THIS TO
TRY TO MEET BOTH OF THOSE
GOALS- I'M GONNA SUPPORT THIS
TODAY- YOU'VE ADDED A SUNSET
WE'VE ADDED A SUNSET AND ALSO.
A PROVISION THAT UP PROVIDED
FOR THE TRANSPARENCY AS TO THE
CONSTITUENT OWNERS. BUT I TRUST
YOU WILL CONTINUE THAT QUEST.
TERMS OF TRANSPARENCY
ACCOUNTABILITY. YES YOU HAVE MY
COMMITMENT RIGHT RT THANK YOU
BACK TO YOU MR THANK YOU I JUST
HAVE A CUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS-
ASSEMBLY MEMBER OR MAYBE MISTER
BROWN- MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT
THAT THERE WAS AN ASSUMPTION OF
A 7% RETURN- THAT HAS NOW I
THINK DROPPED AROUND. MAYBE SIX
POINT EIGHT BUT IN REAL TERMS
IT'S AROUND SIX DOES THAT SOUND
ACCURATE. THEREABOUTS. SO IT
DID GO DOWN TO SIX POINT EIGHT
DUE TO A RISK MITIGATION
STRATEGY AS A RESULT OF OUR
RECENT- RETURN RETURNS IN THE
20% RANGE BUT THE BOARD IS
CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE
ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
CYCLE NOW ALSO THAT DECISION IS
NOT GOING TO BE MADE TO LATER
THIS YEAR OR EARLY NEXT YEAR AS
TO WHETHER THE DISCOUNT RATE
WILL GO DOWN EITHER EVEN
FURTHER IT'S REALLY A POOR
DECISION AND SO WE'RE JUST
GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS BUT
IT IS POSSIBLE TO GO DOWN
FURTHER THAN SIX POINT EIGHT.
OKAY AND- IF THERE IS IF THERE
IS A LOSS- WHAT IS THE STATE'S
ROLE. AT SOME POINT IF THERE IS
SUBSTANTIAL LOSS. OF THE STATE
IS EXPECTED TO STEP IN AND MAKE
A CONTRIBUTION IS THAT IS THAT
ACCURATE. IT IS ACCURATE FOR
THE STATE PLANS BUT NOT FOR THE
OTHER PUBLIC AGENCIES THAT
CONTRACT WITH US THE SCHOOLS
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS BUT THE
STATE HAS FIVE PLANTS IS SO TO
THE EXTENT WE DON'T HIT OUR-
RATE OF RETURN. THE
CONTRIBUTION RATES WILL GO UP
FOR THE STATE GOT IT GOT IT. I
THINK THERE'S SOME STRONG
ARGUMENTS BACK AND FORTH ON
THIS CALPERS WANTING TO- PURSUE
MORE- RISKY BUT- LUCRATIVE-
INVESTMENTS. ARE TO DRIVE UP ON
THE PRTFOLIO AND THEN OF
COURSE YOU HAVE THE PUBLIC-
EXPECTATION OF ACCESS GIVEN IT
BEING A PUBLIC. SEMI PUBLIC
ENTITY. BUT THIS IS BECAUSE
IT'S NOW MOVING INTO THE- THE
VENTURE CAPITAL THE INVESTMENT
WORLD THROUGH THIS PROCESS-
THERE'S A BIT OF A RUB ON.
KEEPING INFORMATION- EXAM FROM
THE TRADITIONAL- ACCESS POINTS
FROM THE PUBLIC- SO I THINK. I
IS THERE NOT A- HYBRID WHERE
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC MAYBE NOT
NECESSARILY THROUGH THE
TRADITIONAL PROTOCOLS OF-
PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT- OR FOR
YOU WELL THAT'S ACTUALLY
FEDERAL BUT- PUBLIC INFORMATION
ALL RESPONSES THAT. COULD GET
MORE INFORMATION IF THERE WAS
MORE DUE DILIGENCE IN INQUIRY
BY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC BEYOND
THE- THE NAMES AND PRINCIPLES
AND- OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU
AGREE TO THROUGH COMMITTEE-
AMENDMENTS. I THINK THIS RAP
RECORD CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M
WRONG THE RIGHT NOW THE PRIVATE
INVESTMENT FOLKS DIDN'T PROVIDE
ANY INFORMATION. A CONCERT YOU
REPEAT THAT PLEASE I'M- SORRY I
MISSED YOU CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW
THE PRIVATE INVESTMENT FLOWS
WITH SET UP RIGHT NOW THEY
DON'T PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION.
THE PRIVATE BROKERS AND I THINK
MISTER BROWN CAN VERIFY THAT.
IS THAT IS AN ACCURATE SIR I'M
SORRY I MENTIONED THAT EARLIER
THAT. WHEN CALPERS MOVES
THROUGH A THIRD PARTY BROKER
FOR THESE TYPES OF INVESTMENTS.
IT THEN. GOES OUTSIDE OF THE-
PUBLIC DISCLOSURE- OBLIGATIONS
THAT CORRECT- THAT IS CORRECT
THE ONLY THING THAT GETS
REPORTED OUT IS. YOU KNOW THE
PRIVATE FUND WE EAT THE
EXTERNAL MANAGER USE AND-
RETURN INFORMATION AT THE
AGGREGATE LEVEL BUT THERE'S NO
INFORMATION ON THE ACTUAL
INDIVIDUAL. LOANS OR
INVESTMENTS. GOT IT GOT IT ALL
RIGHT THAT'S HELPFUL. ALL
RIGHT- THING NO OTHER MIKES.
OFF ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD YOU
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE UP
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
OUR OUR OWN THINK INSURANCE
STAFF AN INCIDENT EARLIER FOR-
OTHER INPUT. INFORMATION TO
APPRECIATE IT. COUNSELOR WOULD
YOU- WISH TO. CALL FOR THE VOTE
I WOULD. HI THIS IS A. B. THREE
EIGHTY SIX BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER

ELECTIONS THIS PLACES A HUGE
BURDEN ON YOUR CHOICE AND
ULTIMATELY THE COST FOR THESE
UNNEEDED ELECTIONS GET FUNNELED
DOWN TO THE HOMEOWNERS A FEW
YEARS AGO THE LEGISLATORS
PASSED A MEASURE TO ALLEVIATE
THIS SITUATION BY ALLOWING
LARGE HOAS. TO DO A VOTE BY THE
COMMISSION IF THE EXACT NUMBER
OF PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP TO RUN
FOR A POSITION MATCHES THE
NUMBER OF POSITIONS OPEN
UNFORTUNATELY THAT MEASURE ONLY
APPLIES TO EACH ALWAYS WITH SIX

VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I WANT TO FIRST OF ALL
THANK YOU AND YOUR COMMITTEE
FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK THAT
YOU'VE DONE ON THIS BILL AND BY
THE WAY I AM PRESENTING FIRST
EVEY FOUR SIXTY EIGHT- THIS
CALL IS INTENDED TO PROTECT THE
RIGHTS OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO
HAVE CONSISTENTLY HAD TO FIGHT
FOR EQUAL ACCESS TO PUBLIC
SPACES AND BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS
FOR SAFETY AND INDEPENDENCE.
RATES AVAILABLE TO THOSE
WITHOUT DISABILITIES AB FOUR
SIXTY EIGHT WOULD PREVENT THE
SALE OF EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
ANIMALS AND THEIR EQUIPMENT AS
BEING MISREPRESENTED AS TO HAVE
THE SAME RATES AS A GUIDE
SIGNAL OR SERVICE DOG AND IT
WILL REQUIRE THE SALE OF
EMOTIONAL UPPORT ANIMALS AND
EQUIPMENT TO BE ACCOMPANIED BY
A WRITTEN NOTICE. THE BILL
WOULD ALSO PROHIBIT A
HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER
PROVIDING DOCUMENTATION
RELATING TO AN INDIVIDUAL'S
NEED. FOR AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
DOG THAT IS NOT A GUIDE SIGNAL
OR SERVICE DOG AS DEFINED.
UNLESS THE HEALTHCARE.
ACTIVATION COMPLIES WITH
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS MEMBERS
THE IMPETUS FOR THIS BILL CAME
FROM AN NPR STORY THAT I HEARD
LASTYEAR. THAT HAD A FAMILY
TALKING ABOUT HAVING ADOPTED
WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS A TRAINED
ANIMAL AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
ANIMAL FOR THEIR ARTISTIC SON.
ONLY TO HAVE THAT ANIMAL TURN
AROUND AND KILLED THEIR OTHER
PETS IN FRONT OF THIS CHILD NOW
IT TURNED OUT THAT THE PEOPLE
WHO SOLD THEM THIS ANIMAL FOR A
COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS HAD
ADOPTED THE WEEK BEFORE FROM
THE ANIMAL SHELTER. THAT IS
BECAUSE UNDER THE LAW THERE IS
NO SUCH THING AS AN EMOTIONAL
SUPPORT ANIMAL THERE'S NO
TRAINING FOR AN EMOTIONAL
SUPPORT ANIMAL THAT'S REQUIRED.
LIKE I LIKE SERVICE DOGS AND
SERVICE ANIMALS BUT THE PUBLIC.
IS VERY CONFUSED BY THESE TERMS
AND THAT'S WHY THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO ARE PREYING ON THIS VERY
VULNERABLE POPULATION AND IF
YOU DON'T MIND MISTER CHAIR I
JUST WANTED TO TRY TO HOLD UP A
COUPLE OF ILLUSTRATIONS. THAT
WERE RESTAURANTS AND OTHER
ENTITIES THAT ALLOW SERVICE
DOGS IN THEMSELVES ARE CONFUSED
ABOUT WHAT A SERVICE DOG IS AND
WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE ALLOWED
INTO THEIR ESTABLISHMENT. THIS
WAS A SIGN THAT MY STOPS ON
FRONT OF TRADER JOE'S THAT SAYS
NO PETS ALLOWED. SERVICE
ANIMALS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED.
TO HELP SOME OF THE DISABILITY
ARE ALLOWED NOW. THIS IS A
SERVICE ANIMAL CALLER THAT
TELLS A RESTAURANT OR
ESTABLISHMENT THAT THAT ANIMAL
IS A TRAINED SERVICE DOG ON THE
INTERNET YOU CAN GO AND BUY
THIS CALLER THAT IS MEANT TO
LOOK PRETTY MUCH IDENTICAL TO
THE SERVICE DOG COLLAR BUT IT
SAYS EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL.
THIS PET IT. THE PROBLEM IS
THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE NOT
TRAINED IN THE SOME OF MY
WITNESSES ARE GOING TO TESTIFY
HAVE ATTACKED HUMANS- THEY'VE
BEEN ATTACKS ON OTHER SIR ON
SERVICE ANIMALS AND REALLY
LEADING TO PEOPLE WHO NEED
SERVICE ANIMALS TO FEEL AFRAID
TO BRING THEIR ANIMALS INTO
THESE ESTABLISHMENTS. NOW- THIS
BILL IS INTENDED TO CURTAIL
THAT MISINFORMATION AND TO HELP
TO PUSH BACK AGAINST THE
FRAUDULENT SALE OF
CERTIFICATIONS THAT IMPLIED TO
PEOPLE THAT THEIR PET WILL NOW
HAVE THE SAME ACCESS RATES AS A
SERVICE DOG THIS BILL IS
RECEIVED WIDE BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT IN BOTH THE ASSEMBLY
AND SENATE BNP COMMITTEES AND
ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR WITH NO
NO VOTES TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT
THIS EVENING IT SAYS MORNING
BLITZ EVENING AS WELL AS
CROSSMAN FROM CANINE COMPANIONS
AND RABBIT OUT FROM GUIDE DOGS
FOR THE BLIND I APPRECIATE YOUR
THOUGHTFUL CONSIDERATION OF
THIS BILL. BUT THANK YOU BEFORE
THEY TESTIFIED DO YOU ACCEPT

HALF YOUR PARTNERSHIP. HE WAS
AN EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE DOG BUT
AFTER TEN INSTANCES IN PLACES

SUPPORT ANIMALS ARE NOT
PERMITTED. HE COULD NO LONGER

BEING THERE I RETIRED MY
SERVICE DOG WORK AT AGE FOUR
AND I LOST MY INDEPENDENCE IT
TOOK ME YEARS AND IT'S STILL
WORK IN PROGRESS TO MAKE TO NOT
HAVE A DRAMATIC RESPONSE TO

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOGS ARE NOT

AND MISLEADING BUSINESS

POSITION ON THE BILL- BOARD HAD
CONCERNS THAT SOME OF THE
BILL'S PROVISIONS. COULD
REQUIRE HEALTH CARE
PRACTITIONERS- THEY COULD
BECAUSE HE KNEW THE PUBLIC'S
ACCESS TO EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
ANIMALS WHEN THEY'RE NEEDED DUE
TO LIMITING HEALTH CARE
PRACTITIONERS ABILITY. TO TO

RESPONSIVE TO HEARING THE

RAISED HERE- IS THERE A MOTION.
SIR LAYERED MOUSSE ALL RIGHT
SETTLER LAYERED MOVES- AB FOUR
SIX EIGHTY K. TO CLOSE. I WOULD
JUST SAY THAT WE WILL CONTINUE
TO SPEAK WITH THE BOARD OF
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES WAS VERY
LATE TO OPPOSITION. I WILL SAY
THAT. THE THE HAVING AN . AN
ESA DOES ALLOW IF IT'S WRITTEN
ANYBODY CAN BUY A PET TOO YOU
KNOW THE SUPPORT THEMSELVES
HAVING THE ESSAY GIVES YOU A
CERTAIN PRIVILEGE WHEN IT COMES
TO FOR INSTANCE BEING ABLE TO
RENT AN APARTMENT WITH THE DOG
WHEN YOU MIGHT OTHERWISE NOT BE
ABLE TO. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
THAT A THERAPIST ACTUALLY
EVALUATE PEOPL FOR THAT NEED.
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT IS
PEOPLE JUST LITERALLY CALL A
THERAPIST ON THE PHONE. AND SAY
YOU NEED THIS AND THEN THEY
SEND THEM THE PRESCRIPTION
HAVING A DOLL- TO MARSHAL
SUPPORT ANIMALS TO BE PART OF
AN ONGOING THERAPY IS NOT A
PILL THAT YOU TAKE WHEN YOU GET
IT AND ALL THE SUDDEN YOU'RE-
YOUR STRESS OR WHATEVER YOU'RE
TRYING TO ADDRESS IS CURED. ALL
THAT WE'RE ASKING IS THAT THE
PERSON WHO GETS THE ESA HAS AN
ONGOING RELATIONSHIP WITH THAT
THERAPIST THAT THEY ARE NOT
JUST LITERALLY. PHONING SOMEONE
OUT BECAUSE THEY'RE OFFERING A
SERVICE ON THE INTERNET JUST TO
GIVE ANYBODY A CERTIFICATE
THAT'S ALL THAT WE'RE REQUIRING
AND WE THINK THAT WE CONTINUE
TO SPEAK WITH THE BOARD I THINK
WE CAN ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS.
ALL RIGHT THE MAN CHIEF COUNSEL
IF YOU'D CALL THE ROLL. I YES
THIS IS EIGHTY FOUR SIXTY EIGHT
BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRIEDMAN.
WITH THE MOTION BY SENATOR
LAYERED THE MOTION IS TO PASS
AS AMENDED BUT FIRST AMEND AND
RE REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS AMBERG. HI AM
BERG I BURGESS. ABIERTO COVER.
I DID ASK. CONSULT HERTZBERG
HERTZBERG HI JONES HI JONES HI
LAYERED ON LAYERED I SKINNER.
STERN WHITE HOUSE SKI. YOU HAVE
FIVE TO ZERO SO FAR WITH
MEMBERS MISSING ALREADY WE'LL
PUT THAT ON CALL. SO REMEMBER
FREEMAN AT TEN TWENTY FLOORS
YOURS. THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER
CHAIRMAN SENATORS I WOULD LIKE
TO BEGIN BY THANKING THE
COMMITTEE STAFF IN THE BILLS
TAKE COLDER FOR WORKING WITH US
ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILL. AS
YOUR ANALYSIS NOTES WE HAVE
REACHED AN AGREEMENT WITH ONE
OF THE MAIN THE MAIN
STAKEHOLDER THAT WAS STILL IN
OPPOSITION WHICH WITH THE DEBT
BUYERS ON AMENDMENTS THAT WILL
ALLOW HOSPITALS TO CONTINUE
CONTRACTING WITH THOSE DEBT
BUYERS UNDER CERTAIN
CONDITIONS. GIVEN THE POLICY
COMMITTEE'S DEADLINE WE'RE
GOING TO BE TAKING THOSE
AMENDMENTS OUTLINED IN THE
ANALYSIS BEFORE THE BILL WAS
HEARD IN APPROPRIATIONS.
MEDICAL DEBT IS A SIGNIFICANT
DRIVER PER BANKRUPTCY POVERTY
AND RACIAL INEQUALITY IN
CALIFORNIA TO ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM OUR PREDECESSORS IN THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED A KEY
REFORMS TO PROTECT CALIFORNIANS
AT RISK BUT THE HOSPITAL PEER
PRICING ACT AND THE FAIR DEBT
CUT DEBT COLLECTION PRACTICES
ACT WERE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
BASIC CONSUMER PROTECTIONS IN
DEBT COLLECTION. AND INCREASED
PATIENT AWARENESS OF FREE AND
DISCOUNTED MEDICAL CARE
HOSPITALS IN CALIFORNIA MUST
PROVIDE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO
PATIENTS WHO RECEIVE MEDICAL
SERVICES AND ARE UNINSURED OR
UNDER INSURED THE FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE CAN IT. CAN BE FULL
OR PARTIAL DISCOUNTS OF THEIR
BILLS OR PAYMENT PLANS OR BOTH.
NOW THE HOSPITALS MUST FOLLOW
THIS A DEBT COLLECTORS ALSO
HAVE TO FOLLOW THE SAME RULES-
AND THERE ARE OTHER PROTECTIONS
AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS WITH A
COLLECTION PRICE A PREP PROCESS
SUCH AS A HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAY
TIME PERIOD. BEFORE THEY CAN
REPORT A PATIENT ACCOUNT TO A
CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING
AGENCY OR COMMENCE OF ALL
ACTION AGAINST THE PATIENT. AND
ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE
PATIENTS TO APPLY FOR THE KERR
FOR WHICH THEY COULD BE
ENTITLED. HOWEVER DESPITE THOSE
PROTECTIONS PATIENTS ARE STILL
NOT BENEFITING FROM THE LAW
KAISER HEALTH NEWS REPORTED IN
TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN THAT NON
HA HA A PROFIT HOSPITALS IN
CALIFORNIA COULD HAVE. BUT DID
NOT PROVIDE A HUNDRED AND
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN
CHARITY CARE TO PATIENTS
PATIENTS INSTEAD OF REPORT
BEING DISCHARGED AND RECEIVING
MEDICAL BILLS WITHOUT KNOWING
THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY
ELIGIBLE FOR MEDI CAL OR COULD
HAVE APPLIED FOR A CHARITY
CARE. WORSE THOSE HOSPITALS
OFTEN SELL PATIENT ACCOUNTS TO
COLLECTION AGENCIES WHICH THEN
ALSO FURTHER NEGLECT TO INFORM
PATIENTS BUT THEY COULD APPLY
FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE OR BE
ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE.
CONSEQUENTLY THESE PATIENTS
FACE NEGATIVE CREDIT REPORTING
AND FINALLY COLLECTIONS
LAWSUITS RIGHT AT THE TIME WHEN
THEY'RE MOST VULNERABLE WHEN
THEY HAVE BEEN SICK OR ILL. TO
ADDRESS THE GAPS IN EXISTING
LAW AND STRENGTHENS PROTECTIONS
FOR CONSUMERS AND OUR
RESIDENTS. AB TEN TWENTY WILL
STRENGTHEN STATE ENFORCEMENT
OVERSIGHT OF A HOSPITAL FAIR
PRICING ACT BY PENALIZING
HOSPITALS THAT DON'T COMPLY.
PROVIDE PATIENTS WITH MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT
THEIR BILLS AND HOW TO APPLY
FOR PUBLIC PROGRAMS LIKE
MEDICAL. AS WELL AS CHARITY
CARE AT THE TIME OF DISCHARGE
AND ALSO WHEN THE BILL IS SENT
TO COLLECTIONS. EXTENDED VERSE
CREDIT REPORTING AND
COMMENCEMENT OF CIVIL ACTIONS
FROM A HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO A
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS. AND
REQUIRE DEBT COLLECTORS AND
DEBT BUYERS TO CERTIFY THAT THE
PATIENT HASBEEN SCREENED FOR
PUBLIC PROGRAMS AND FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE BEFORE FILING A
LAWSUIT. IT ALSO RAISES THE
INCOME LEVEL FOR FINANCIAL%
ASSISTANCE FROM THREE HUNDRED
FIFTY PERCENT. OF THE POVERTY
LEVEL 24100% MEMBERS MEDICAL
DEBT IS AN OBSCENITY THAT WE
SHOULDN'T HAVE IN CALIFORNIA TO
BEGIN WITH AT THE VERY LEAST WE
SHOULD BE OFFERING THE
PROTECTIONS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE UNDER THE LAW TO
THESE PATIENTS TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT THIS AFTERNOON OR TRACY
DOUGLAS WITH. THAT SET UP LEGAL
SERVICES. AND MOTOHARU
SUPERMARKET FROM THE PUBLIC LAW
CENTER THANK YOU. THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR YOU IN MY
CORRECT THERE'S NO LONGER ANY
OPPOSITION THE BILL. MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE'S
NO LONGER ANY OPPOSITION THAT
THAT WE ARE AWARE OF ALL RIGHT-
TRACY DOUGLAS AND MANOHAR.
SUPERMARKET. THE FLOOR IS YOURS
TO TESTIFY ON THE BILL WITHOUT
OPPOSITION. GOOD EVENING SURE
AMBER AGAIN MEMBERS OF THE
SENATE JUDICIARY MY NAME IS
MARISSA KUMAR AND I'M THE
SUPERVISING ATTORNEY FOR THE
HELP ALL UNITS. OF PUBLIC LAW
CENTER A NONPROFIT LAW FIRM
THAT PROVIDES FREE LEGAL
SERVICES TO LOW INCOME ORANGE
COUNTY RESIDENTS. OVER THE
YEARS I'VE SEEN A NUMBER OF
MEDICAL BILLING ISSUES BUT IT
IS INCREDIBLY DISTURBING WHEN
DEALING WITH HOSPITAL BILLS.
FOR LOW INCOME UNINSURED OR
UNDER INSURED CLIENT NEVER
OFFERED. THE OPPORTUNITY TO
APPLY FOR CHARITY CARE. CASE IN
POINT IS MONIQUE DAVIS- CLIMATE
TESTIFIED PREVIOUSLY FOR THE
BELL WHEN YOU PUT IN THE PRIMER
OR LIFE. WHEN IN NOVEMBER TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN TO DEVELOP
AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE BONE MARROW
DISORDER. DEADLY SICK FOR THE
NEXT YEAR AND A HALF MONEY
WOULD BE RUSHED TO THE ER ON
MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND ADMITTED
FOR A WEEK OR MORE AT OVER FIVE
DIFFERENT HOSPITALS. EACH VISIT
COMPOUNDING HER MEDICAL DEBT.
MONEY CANNOT WORK AND HER
HUSBAND HAD TO MISS WORK TO
CARE FOR HER. WHILE AT AN
ORANGE COUNTY HOSPITAL EVEN
TOLD HER HUSBAND TO BORROW
MONEY FROM FAMILY MEMBERS. TO
PAY OUT OF POCKET BEFORE THEY
WOULD CONTINUE HER TREATMENT.
NONE OF THE HOSPITALS IN FOR
MONIQUE ABOUT POTENTIAL
FINANCIAL HELP. WHEN YOU START
TO RECEIVE NUMEROUS BILLS IN
THE MAIL AND HOSPITALS WILL
CALL MONIQUE'S HUSBAND
DEMANDING PAYMENT. MONIQUE AND
HER HUSBAND WERE SCARED FELT
ALONE AND TERRIFIED AT TIMES
MANY THOUGHT MAYBE IT WOULD BE
BETTER HAD SHE DIED BELIEVING
HER HUSBAND OF THE STRESS AND
FINANCIAL BURDEN. THE BUILDING
MOUNTED IN THE CALLS INCREASED.
WHEN IT WAS TURNED OVER TO
COLLECTION AGENCIES- CREDIT WAS
RUINED BUT NOT UNTIL MANY
CONTACTED PUBLIC LAW CENTER.
THAT SHE LEARNED SHE SHOULD'VE
GONE HELP FROM THE HOSPITAL TO
REDUCE REDUCE OUR BILL. AND SET
UP A PAYMENT PLAN. THAT SAID
PATIENTS SHOULD NOT NEED A
LAWYER TO BE OFFERED THE
FINANCIAL IF IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
ARE ALREADY REQUIRED TO PROVIDE.
PUT YOURSELF IN OUR CLIENTS
SHOES IMAGINE GETTING SICK OR
INJURED THEN ADDING INSULT TO
INJURY WITH UNAFFORDABLE
MEDICAL BILLS AB TEN TWENTY IS
CRITICAL TO ADDING FURTHER
CHARITY CARE PROTECTIONS
ENSURING THAT WE'RE TREATING
OUR FELLOW COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
WITH HUMANITY THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME TODAY. THANK YOU.
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE. HELLO I
MEAN THANK YOU HONOURABLE
MEMBERS BUT SENATE GIVEN
NONPROFIT LEGAL AID
ORGANIZATION AND WE ARE PROUD
TO CO SPONSOR AT TEN TWENTY. MY
WORK ROUTINE OVER AND OVER
AGAIN WHAT WE KNOW HARD
DESCRIBES AS A PRETTY CLEAR
CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL ARE NOT
PROVIDING CHARITY CARE WHEN
THEY COULD AND ARE ALSO NT
TELLING PATIENTS ABOUT IT
SHOULD BE A BILITY. MEDICAL
DEBT HAS DEVASTATING ATTACKS
CONTINUE PEOPLE INTO POVERTY
THEY MIGHT LOSE THEIR HOUSING
THEIR AFFECTION FOR CLOSURE THE
STRETCH FROM DEBT PILING UP A
COLLECTION CALLED HORSE WITH
THEIR HEALTH. WHERE'S THE NEEDY
FORCED TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY
MEDICAL DEBT IS THE LEADING.
CAUSE OF CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY.
MAYBE TEN TWENTY PROVIDE
CONSUMERS. FOR PATIENTS IN A
NUMBER OF WAYS IT INCREASES
ELIGIBILITY 24100% OF THE
FEDERAL POVERTY LINE IT ADDS
STATE OVERSIGHT I HATE HOSPITAL
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICIES
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE. HOW DOES
THE NEW CHOIR TO GIVE NOTICE OF
THE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
POLICIES AS WELL AS DEBT
COLLECTORS AND BUYERS TO
PATIENTS. REQUIRES DEBT
COLLECTORS AND ADMIRERS TO SHOW
THAT THE PATIENT HASN'T SCREEN
FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN
FILING A LAWSUIT. REALLY
HOSPITAL DEBT BUYERS TO ENSURE
THAT DATA CAN BE TRANSFERRED
BACK TO HOSPITALS WHEN THERE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN ASSISTANT
THERE IS NO INTEREST CHARGE
FROM HOSPITAL. THAT MY CLIENTS
EFFICIENT BUILDER SENIOR SHOULD
MERGE INTO CARE NEEDED SURGERY
FOR CONDITIONS AT NO TIME DID
THE HOSPITAL NEVER LET THEM
KNOW ABOUT CHARITY CARE THEY
WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE
REFERRED TO LEGAL AID FOR HELP.
ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE AN
ATTORNEY TO TELL THEM ABOUT.

TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL TEN OH
SEVEN A MEASURE THAT WILL
RIGHTFULLY COMPENSATE PEOPLE
SPECIFICALLY WOMEN WHO WERE
INVOLUNTARILY STERILIZED UNDER
CALIFORNIA'S PREVIOUS. AND
EGREGIOUS EUGENICS LAWSON
THEREAFTER BY CREATING THE
FORCED STERILIZATION
COMPENSATION PROGRAM EUGENICS
PRACTICES HAVE A LONG SHAMEFUL
HISTORY IN OUR COUNTRY
INCLUDING INVOLUNTARY AND
FORCED STERILIZATIONS. BETWEEN
NINETEEN OH NINE IN NINETEEN
SEVENTY NINE AT LEAST TWENTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE STERILIZED
UNDER CALIFORNIA'S EUGENICS
LAWS MAKING IT UP MAKING UP ONE
THIRD OF STERILIZATIONS
NATIONWIDE. ONE OF THE MOST
COMPELLING CASES OF FORCED AN
UNKNOWN STERILIZATION HAPPENED
IN THE LATE NINETEEN SIXTIES
AND EARLY COUNTY HOSPITAL IN
DISTRICT. WHICH I AM PROUD TO
REPRESENT IN WHICH MEXICAN
AMERICAN AND MEXICAN WOMEN AND
IMMIGRANT LATINO WOMEN WERE
STERILIZED WITHOUT THEIR
CONSENT POST LABOR. THESE WOMEN
THESE WOMEN NEVER KNEW WHY THEY
CAN NEVER HAVE ADDITIONAL
CHILDREN THE PAIN CONFUSION
ANGER DEPRESSION. AND MENTAL
HEALTH CHALLENGES THESE WOMEN
FACE IS DOCUMENTED IN THE FILM
NO MY HUSBAND IS NO MORE
BABIES. THESE WOMEN ARE NOW
ELDERLY. AND LEAVING OUR WORLD
EVERY DAY. ALTHOUGH THIS
HORRIFIC LAW WAS REPEALED IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE. A LATER
STATE AUDIT REVEALED A HUNDRED
AND FORTY FOUR WOMEN WERE
STERILIZED DURING LABOR AND
DELIVERY WITHOUT PROPER CONSENT
WHILE INCARCERATED FROM TWO
THOUSAND SIX. TO TWO THOUSAND
TEN. IT WASN'T SO LONG AGO MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS. DATING TO THE
LATE NINETEEN NINETIES AN
ADDITIONAL ONE HUNDRED WOMEN
WERE INVOLUNTARILY STERILIZED
IN PRISON DURING LABOR AND
DELIVERY AS WELL AS A NUMBER OF
FOUR STERILIZATIONS WERE
PERFORMED. DURING OTHER
SURGERIES. IT IS CURRENTLY
ESTIMATED THERE ARE ROUGHLY
THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE
SURVIVING INDIVIDUALS
STERILIZED UNDER THE LAW. IN
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR
SURVIVORS OF PRISON
STERILIZATION ABUSE. THESE
ABUSES ARE ALSO REFLECTED IN
THE FILM. BELLY OF THE BEAST.
INVOLUNTARY FOR STERILIZATION
HAS HISTORICALLY AND
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED
INCARCERATED WOMEN OF COLOR
WITH 65% OF SURVIVORS IDENTIFY
AS BLACK. LATINO MEXICAN OR
OTHER. IT IS SHAMEFUL TO KNOW
THAT EVEN TO THIS DAY MANY MANY
SURVIVORS STILL DO NOT KNOW.
THAT THE REPRODUCTIVE CAPACITY
WAS VIOLENTLY STOLEN FROM THEM.
FORCED AN INVALID INVOLUNTARY
STERILIZATION HAS IMPACTED MORE
THAN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH IN
SOME CASES THERE WERE EXTREME
SIDE EFFECTS LIFELONG HEALTH
COMPLICATIONS. SOCIAL
ISOLATION. AND EVEN DEATH.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS THE FORCED
STERILIZATION COMPENSATION
PROGRAM IS MORE THAN MONETARY
COMPENSATION IT PROVIDES A
FRAMEWORK FOR OUTREACH
IDENTIFICATION AN APPEALS
PROCESS AND PAYMENT.
REPARATIONS MOST IMPORTANTLY IT
OFFERS A SEMBLANCE OF JUSTICE
BY CONFRONTING CALIFORNIA'S
SHAMEFUL PAST. AB TUNNEL SEVEN
WILL PROVIDE SOME CLOSURES TO
THOSE HARMED UNDER GOVERNMENT
SPONSORED STERILIZATION
PRACTICES AND ENSURE THAT IT
NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS
THE FIRST STEP IN HEALING
COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS AND ENDING THE
PERPETRATION OF REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH INEQUALITIES. THE RIGHT
TO CHOOSE INCLUDES THE RIGHT TO
BE A PARENT TO BE A MOTHER AND
TO BE A FATHER. AND NO AMOUNT
OF COMPENSATION WILL EVER MAKE
THAT RIGHT BUT THIS IS ANOTHER
STEP TOWARDS JUSTICE. THIS BILL
HAS NO OPPOSITION AND HAS
RECEIVED UNANIMOUS BI PARTISAN
SUPPORT FOR THE LAST THREE
YEARS THAT I HAVE CARRIED THIS
PIECE OF LEGISLATION IN THE
FOUR YEARS THAT I HAVE BEEN
HONORED TO SERVE AND THE
DECADES LONG PROCESS. THAT THIS
ENTIRE CONVERSATION HAS TAKEN

SEVENTY NINE TO THE APOLOGY IN

MOMENT WHERE WE FIND OURSELVES

SEVEN MEMBER GIBSON THE FLOOR
IS YOURS THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS. MR
CHAIRMAN THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT TO
SIMPLY BILL EIGHT EIGHT NINE
WHICH SEEKS TO REQUIRE ALL
CORPORATE LANDLORDS WHO HAVE A
25% OR MORE EQUITY STAKE TO
REPORT TO THE CALIFORNIA
SECRETARY OF STATE'S. THIS
SIMPLE REQUIREMENT LOL REQUIRES
LLC'S TO REPORT INFORMATION TO
THE SECRETARY OF STATE. THAT
THEY ARE AUTHORIZED TO COLLECT
BUT LLC'S FAILED TO SUBMIT. I
AM HERE TODAY BECAUSE MY
CONCERN IS THAT WORKING
FAMILIES IN MY DISTRICT AND
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA ARE BEING
DEPRIVED BEING DEPRIVED OF THE
AMERICAN DREAM. THERE IS AN
ALARMING THERE IS AN ALARMING
INCREASE OF CORPORATE LANDLORDS
PURCHASING HOMES ALL OVER
CALIFORNIA BUT THEIR NAMES ARE
NEVER RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC.
UNIDENTIFIED BUYERS HIDE BEHIND
THEIR LLCS BUYING GENERATIONAL
HOMES ACROSS THE STATE
ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL
RESERVE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS
OFTEN BIT HIGHER THAN
CONVENTIONAL BUYERS. BUY A
MONOPOLIZING THE MARKET THESE
CORPORATE INVESTORS HAVE DRIVEN
UP HOME VALUES AND HAVE
CONTRIBUTE TO HOUSING THE
HOUSING SHORTAGE OF NEARLY
THREE POINT FIVE MILLION HOMES.
THIS MAKES IT HARD FOR LOW
INCOME AND MEDIUM- INDIVIDUALS
FAMILIES TO PURCHASE A HOME AND
BUILD GENERATIONAL WEALTH A. B.
EIGHT EIGHT NINE WILL PROVIDE A
NEED FOR TRANSPARENCY. TO KNOW
WHO IS BEHIND THESE L. L. C.'S
THIS BILL WILL REQUIRE
CORPORATE LANDLORDS TO REPORT
THE BENEFACTOR OWNERS OF THE
CORPORATIONS OR- OR THE LIMITED
LIABILITY COMPANIES. OF RENTERS
OUT OF THEIR OF PROPERTY
JOINING ME HERE TO SET TO
PROVIDE SUPPORTING TESTIMONY
THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
CALIFORNIA REINVESTMENT
COALITION AND A REPRESENTATIVE
FROM GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY LAW
CENTER. THEY WILL SELL PRODUCE.
THANK YOU- FIRST UP. KATIE PARK
ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF LAW
PROPERTY LAW AT GEORGETOWN
UNIVERSITY LAW CENTER- THANK
YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME TODAY-
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF
PROPERTY INFORMATION ABOUT WHO
OWNS PROPERTY INFORMATION THAT
HAS BEEN PUBLICLY AVAILABLE TO
THE TITLE REGISTRY IN AMERICA
FOR ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED YEARS-
THIS TITLE REGISTRY HAS BEEN
THE HALLMARK OF THE AMERICAN
PROPERTY SYSTEM. AND IF MARKET
IT'S A MAJOR INNOVATION FROM
ENGLISH LAW THAT HAVE BEEN
CELEBRATED AND ADOPTED ALL OVER
THE WORLD FOR A BENEFIT TO THE
MARKET AND SOCIETY WHICH
INCLUDE PREVENTING FRAUD
CORRUPTION DECREASING
LITIGATION PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
AS WELL AS THE COST OF
LITIGATION. YOU ALWAYS KNEW WHO
OWNS WHAT HOW TO FIND THEM THE
LAWSUIT THE FEDERAL. ENERGY
STILL AN IMPORTANT FUNCTION
NURSES. MUCH LITIGATION OVER
PROPERTY AS EVER. BUT THE
RECENT USE OF LLC. TO PURCHASE
PROPERTY HAS CHANGED A LONG
STANDING STATUS QUO- THIS NEW
PRACTICE- CHANGING THE STATUS
QUO CENTURIES REALLY TOOK OFF
IN THE NINETEEN NINETIES INTO
THE TWO THOUSAND. THE LLC WAS
ORIGINALLY CREATED TO PROVIDE A
TAX BENEFIT NOT TO SHIELD
IDENTITY THE PROPERTY OWNERS.
IT HAS ACQUIRED THAT FUNCTION
OVER THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS OR
SO AND IT ISN'T UNINTENDED AND
UNPRECEDENTED SITUATION BUT THE
USE OF LLC IS TO PURCHASE
PROPERTY. HAVE GUARDED THE
TITLE REGISTRY OF INFORMATION
ABOUT BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP.
THERE WAS NO GOVERNMENTAL
DESIGNED A PLAN THERE AND
PREDICTABLY IT IS GIVING RISE
TO ALL THE PROBLEM TITLE
REGISTRY WAS DESIGNED TO
PREVENT. FRAUD MONEY LAUNDERING
LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY TO
NEIGHBORS TENANTS LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. AND RIGHT NOW WHAT
WE'RE SEEING ACROSS THE COUNTRY
IF THE PIECEMEAL ATTEMPT TO
ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. BY STATE.
HOW DO YOU- TO THE WEST COAST
AND KEEP OF THESE EFFORTS IF
THE COLLECTION OF INFORMATION
ABOUT BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP FROM
WHERE- THIS IS NOT A
COORDINATED EFFORT COLLECTION
OF THIS INFORMATION BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOESN'T FALL
STATE YOUR CITY PROBLEM REALLY
THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING MORE
COMPREHENSIVE BUT RIGHT NOW
IT'S EACH GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES
FOR ITSELF. BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP IS THE KIND OF
INFORMATION THAT CAN BE
OBTAINED IN LITIGATION ONE
THERE ARE PROBLEMS THROUGH
DISCOVERY. BUT WHAT THE ABSENCE
OF A PUBLIC RECORD DOES IS
PROFOUNDLY RAISE THE COST FOR
OTHER PARTIES I'M TRYING TO
SETTLE A DISPUTE. THE COST
PREMEDICATION AND DURING
LITIGATION THE SUSPECTS
NEIGHBORS. AND CITY EXCUSE THE
ADVANTAGES- OF LITIGATION IT
COULD ENCOURAGE BAD BEHAVIOR IT
MAKES IT HARDER FOR CITIES TO
MAKE POLICY CHOICES ABOUT THEIR
HOUSING MARKET. BY RAISING THE
COST OF ENFORCEMENT. IT IS
SIMPLY THE CASE THAT NATURAL
PERSONS IN THE UNITED STATES
ARE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR
PROPERTY INTEREST. ALWAYS HAS
BEEN A NOMINALLY THEY STILL ARE
EVEN IF THIS INFORMATION IS
STRICTLY THE REGISTRY BUT NOT
HAVING BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP IN
THE PUBLIC RECORD MAKES IT MUCH
HARDER FOR THAT SYSTEM OF
ACCOUNTABILITY TO WORK. THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO TESTIFY
TODAY. THANK YOU PROFESSOR NEXT
WITNESS. HI ANGELA TRIP FOLLOW
THE CALIFORNIA REINVESTMENT
COALITION AND TRANSPARENCY OF
CORPORATE AND ARGUMENTS URGENT
AND IMPORTANT MATTER TO US
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME TODAY.
IN MAY IT WAS REVEALED THAT
PRIVATE EQUITY GIANT THE
BLACKSTONE GROUP HAD PURCHASED
SIX THOUSAND APARTMENT UNITS IN
SAN DIEGO FOR NEARLY ONE
BILLION DOLLARS. WE WERE NOT
SURPRISED AS A REPORT EARLIER
IN THE YEAR SHOW THAT JOHN
HAMMOND OF THE LARGEST
CORPORATE LANDLORDS HAD AMASSED
HUNDRED AND NINETY ONE BILLION
CASH ON HAND DURING THE
PANDEMIC AND WE'RE READY FOR A
BUYING FRENZY. IN A HAD ALREADY
STRESSED BY HOUSING
UNAFFORDABILITY FURTHER
CONSOLIDATION UNDER LARGE
CORPORATE LANDLORDS. WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY MAKE THINGS WORSE
FOR TENANTS AND HOMEBUYERS
HOWEVER NOT HAVING SPECIFIC
DATA FOR CITIES COUNTIES AND
ELECTORAL DISTRICT IS A BARRIER
TO DESIGNING. AND MOVING POLICY
THAT ADDRESSES ALL THESE
HOUSING ISSUES EFFECTIVELY.
LACK OF OWNER INFORMATION IS
ALSO PROBLEMATIC AS YOU
CONSIDER THAT THE STATE IS
EXPECTING TO GRANT EIGHTY
MILLION IN RENT- TO LANDLORDS.
WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT
THEY ARE STRUGGLING WITHOUT
THAT THEY NEED HOWEVER WITHOUT
EIGHTY EIGHT NINE RELATED
TRANSPARENCY THIS TIME NEXT
YEAR THE LEGISLATURE WILL NOT
KNOW HOW MUCH WHAT AND BAILING

NOT CLEAR WHAT THE PURPOSE OF
EIGHTY EIGHTY NINE IS. THE
LANGUAGE OF THE BILL TO OUR
KNOWLEDGE NOT COINCIDE WITH THE
LETTERS OF SOME OF THE
SUPPORTERS WE- BE RECEIVING.
SOME SPONSORS INDICATE THAT
IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING WHO'S
BUYING HEALTHY. TRANSPARENCY
BUT ONCE IT'S LIKE COUPLE
YOU'LL BE DROPPED THE NAME
BLACK ROCK- AND- TO OUR
KNOWLEDGE OF. THE AND AGAIN THE
CORE KNOWLEDGE THIS WOULD NOT

SIMILAR MEASURES SIMILAR

LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHO HAVE MORE
INSPECTION PROGRAMS ARE THERE

WANT TO BUY HOUSING. IT'S OPEN

CLOSURES. IS TA MEMBER-
TESTIFYING THAT IS REALLY
REALLY RELEVANT THEY BOUGHT.
BLACKSTONE BOUGHT THOUSANDS OF
HOMES THAT WORK IN FORECLOSURE

MORAN WITH ERIN READING
ASSOCIATES REPRESENTING THE
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RENTAL
HOUSING ASOCIATION IN
OPPOSITION THANK YOU ALREADY
THANK YOU. MODERATOR ANYONE
ELSE IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION
ON THE PHONE LINE. WE DO NOT
HAVE ANYONE IN Q. OKAY WELL
BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE-
QUESTIONS COMMENTS. NOT SEEING
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO
THE COMMITTEE ON JUST A FEW
QUESTIONS- WHILE I CERTAINLY
SUPPORT. THE THRUST OF THE BILL
IDENTIFYING PROPERTY OWNERS-
THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THOUGH
THAT STILL EXIST ON THE BILL'S
BEEN IN PRINT NOW FOR TWENTY
ONE DAYS I BELIEVE IT IS. AND
THIS IS OUR FIRST OPPORTUNITY
TO REALLY REVIEW THE BILL IN
THE LEGISLATURE. SO WHILE I
SUPPORT THE IDEA OF MAKING SURE
THAT WE IDENTIFY THOSE WHO ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PROPERTY
OWNERSHIP SOME QUESTIONS SO IT
WAS IT WAS MENTIONED BY ONE OF
THE WITNESSES WHAT WOULD
BLACKSTONE HAVE TO REVEAL.
UNDER THIS BILL IN TERMS OF THE
BENEFICIAL OWNERS. SURE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH I THINK WE HAVE
OUR- THE INDIVIDUAL FROM-
GEORGETOWN. TO BE ABLE TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION. ALL RIGHT
I THINK THAT'S PROFESSOR PARK
WHAT WOULD BLACKSTONE HAVE TO
REVEAL. WHAT WOULD LASH DON'T
HAVE TO REVEAL I MEAN ISN'T
THAT BILL JUST 25% BENEFICIAL
OWNERSHIP INTEREST I DON'T KNOW
WHO BLACKS DON'T HAVE 25%
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTEREST.
SO BLACKSTONE WOULDN'T REVEAL
ANYTHING IS THAT RIGHT. I DON'T
ACTUALLY KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THE-
THE INTEREST THAT BLACKSTONE TONOTE THAT SOMEBODY HAD 25%
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP INTEREST
OUT BLACKSTONE THEN THAT PERSON
WOULD HAVE TO DISCLOSE WHICH
SEEMS REASONABLE RIGHT HOWEVER
WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
PROPERTY INSURANCE. ANALYTICS
AND MATTER OF LITIGATION OVER A
PROPERTY INTEREST WOULD HAVE TO
SHOW UP TO COURT WHOEVER THAT
PERSON WOULD BE ULTIMATELY
WOULD BE THE PERSON I WOULD
HAVE TO REPORT. ALL RIGHT SO.
TRUST. WHAT WOULD THAT BE FOR
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS
WOULD BE THE GENERAL MANAGER OF
A PARTNER WOULD BE SOMEONE WHO.
HAS AND THEN I'M GONNA ASK A
SECOND WHAT WHAT A SUBSTANTIAL
INTEREST IT IS OURS I'M SORRY
SUBSTANTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS.
WHO WOULD SHOW UP FOR A MINUTE
BUT- PETER COMPLICATED
QUESTIONS THAT ARE BEING
DETERMINED BY COURTS OF LAW IT
WILL BE DIFFERENT IN DIFFERENT
JURISDICTIONS BUT THIS IS THE
QUESTION THAT COURTS ARE
DEALING WITH IT BECAUSE IT
ARISES- BECAUSE- SUCH FIGURES
AND ENTITIES. ARE ARE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE IN COURT FOR THEIR
PROPERTY INTERESTS. ALL THE
TIME THE QUESTION IS HOW ARE
YOU GOING TO MAKE IT BEAT. TO
BRING THEM INTO COURT IN THE
FIRST PLACE THAT'S REALLY THE
QUESTION HERE BUT THEN WHAT
WOULD THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM
BE. IMPORTANT MECHANISM FOR
ENSURING THAT- INSURING THAT
THE INFORMATION REQUESTED IT
ACTUALLY REPORTED IT BUT THE
QUESTION SIR WELL FOR VIOLATION
OF SHOULD THIS LAW BE ENACTED
WHAT WITH THE ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISM BE. IT WELL I THINK
THAT THEY'RE WHATEVER-
MECHANISMS ARE IN PLACE TO
ENSURE REPORTING OF OTHER KINDS
OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE
ALREADY BUSINESS ENTITIES ARE
REQUIRED AND YOU KNOW- TO
REGISTER AND PROVIDE ALL KINDS
OF INFORMATION JUST NOT
BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP WITH THE
SIMPLY JUST ADDING ONE MORE
LINE. TO AN EXISTING PRACTICE
AN EXISTING KIND OF FORM- AND
SO IT WOULD UPDATE REGULARLY
ADDS FILING WITH THE SECRETARY
OF STATE ARE SUPPOSED TO-
REGULARLY BE UPDATED AND
REFRESHED. BUT SO IF FOR
EXAMPLE A CORPORATION- WITH.
SAY TWENTY OWNERS OR TWENTY
SHAREHOLDERS- THEY NEED ONLY
LIST THE NAME OF THE
CORPORATION ASSUMING EACH OF
EQUAL SHARE IS THAT RIGHT. IT
SOUNDS THAT WAY THE LAN I.
PRESENTS BUDGETS BY TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT- INTEREST HOLDING
BENEFICIAL OWNERS. BUT IF MY
WIFE AND I BOUGHT- FORMED AN
LLC AND BOUGHT A UNIT THEN WE
WOULD NEED TO NAME OUR
INDIVIDUAL NAMES IS THAT RIGHT.
THAT'S CORRECT I SEE. OKAY IN
WHAT. I'M LOOKING AT THE BILL.
IT SAYS UNIVERSITY. WHAT IS THE
DEFINITION OF SUBSTANTIAL
ECONOMIC BENEFIT I SEE THAT
SOMEONE WHO RECEIVES
SUBSTANTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS
MUST ALSO BE LISTED AS A
BENEFICIAL OWNER WHAT WHAT'S
THE DEFINITION OF SUBSTANTIAL
ECONOMIC BENEFITS. SUBSTANTIAL
ECONOMIC BENEFIT IS AGAIN LIKE
I SAID SOMETHING THAT BEING
DETERMINED BY THE COURT I MEAN
IT'S GING TO DIFFER A LITTLE
BIT JERK DICTION TO
JURISDICTION SO I WOULD
HESITATE TO SAY EXACTLY. I'M
NOT EVEN SURE WHAT YOU'RE
THINKING YOU'RE THINKING OF
RIGHT NOW- BYE YOU KNOW IT'S
FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD RICH
WRIST THE INCOME STREAM THAT IS
SUBSTANTIAL RELIED YOU KNOW
SOME QUANTITY THAT- IT'S
SIZEABLE- IN TERMS OF IN TERMS
OF ECONOMICS- BENEFIT FROM THE
PROPERTY ITSELF FROM THE
OWNERSHIP- THAT SORT OF THING
THAT PROBABLY THE MOST OBVIOUS
EXAMPLE. SO IF THIS LET'S
ASSUME THIS IS A CIVIL
VIOLATION. AND IF A JUDGE WOULD
INSTRUCT THE JURY HOW WOULD
THAT JUDGE HOW WOULD SHE
INSTRUCTS THE JURY AS TO WHAT A
SUBSTANTIAL ECONOMIC BENEFIT
IS. FOR PURPOSES OF ISOLATION
ALONG. IN CALIFORNIA WE'RE JUST
REFERRING TO CALIFORNIA LAW AT
THIS POINT. I'M ACTUALLY IN
WASHINGTON DC IF I'M NOT
FAMILIAR WITH WHAT CALIFORNIA
LAW SAYS ABOUT THIS BUT IT'S A
FAIRLY INTUITIVE DEFINITION YOU
KNOW IT'S A FAIRLY
COMMONSENSICAL IDEA THAT IF
SOMEONE GETS A SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT OF INCOME- FROM. SOME
KIND OF PROPERTY HOLDINGS- THAT
THAT WILL BE A SUBSTANTIAL
ECONOMIC BENEFITS- YOU KNOW I
THINK. I DON'T KNOW TO TELL YOU
WHAT IT REALLY COMMONSENSICAL
IF YOU'RE ASKING EXACTLY WHERE
THE LINE IS I THINK YOU KNOW
THAT WILL DEPEND ON LOTS OF-
OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES IN THE
CASE- BUT THE FAIRLY AGAIN
INTUITIVE STRAIGHTFORWARD. FIVE
OF- TYPE OF PROVISION SO WOULD
THAT BE THE JURY INSTRUCTION
THAT A JUDGE WOULD GIVE TO A
JURY THAT YOU ARE TO JUST.
ASSUME WHAT A SUBSTANTIAL
ECONOMIC BENEFIT IS THAT WOULD
BE THIS THAT WOULD BE THE
DEFINITION FOR I HAVE. YOU KNOW
WHAT I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
ANY PARTICULAR DAY MY
EXPERIENCE IS THAT JUDGES GIVE
ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF JURY
JUDGE. THERE IS NO WAY TO
GENERALIZE ABOUT SUCH A THING.
BUT I SEE ALL RIGHT WELL I'M
GONNA LET THAT GO ALL RIGHT SO-
CENTER WHITE HOUSE GIVE A
QUESTION. NO NO NO ALL RIGHT-
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
YES SENATOR RUSSELL- YES I
UNDERSTAND THERE WERE- CONCERNS
RAISED RAISED BY THE SECRETARY
OF STATE AND I'M NOT SURE THERE
WAS ANOTHER AGENCY- BUT I'M
JUST MY QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR
IS THE- ISSUES OR CONCERNS
RAISED BY RAISED BY THE
SECRETARY OF STATE- HAVE YOU OR
WILL YOU CONTINUE TO BE WORKING
TO- THE SATISFACTION OF THE
SECRETARY OF STATE ON THE
ISSUES THAT. THE SECRETARY HAS
RAISED ABSOLUTELY THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SENATOR- AND
ABSOLUTELY I WAS ON THE PHONE
WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE
TODAY- SHE'S PROVIDED AN
ANALYSIS IN TERMS OF HOW MUCH
THIS WOULD COST IF IT MEANS
UPGRADING THEIR SYSTEM- SHE
THINK THAT SHE COULD ALSO GET-
THE COST DOWN- BASED ON ANOTHER
MATTER. AND SO WE'RE ABSOLUTELY
TALKING ABOUT IT I JUST BLEW
THIS UP FOR YOU HAD OCCASION WE
TALK THIS IS SECRETARY OF STATE
FOR WE'RE TALKING ABOUT D.
BEING REMOVED WHERE IT SAYS-
LIST ADDITIONAL MANAGERS OR
MEMBERS AND WE JUST WANT
INCLUDE BENEFACTOR OWNER. THERE
AND THAT'S THE FORM THAT NEEDS
TO BE CHANGED- PEOPLE ALREADY
WITH A FILE LOC THAT
INFORMATION IS SENT TO THE
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE
ALREADY BY LAW AND WE'RE WE'RE-
ATTEMPTING TO DO IN THIS
PARTICULAR BILL. IT'S JUST LIKE
EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU WHO
OWNS PROPERTY. YOUR INFORMATION
IS MADE PUBLIC PEOPLE CAN FIND
OUT WHO OWNS THIRTEEN FOURTEEN
MARKING BARREL LANE WELL WHEN
IT WHEN IT COMES TO L. L. C. NO
ONE KNOWS AND WE WANT TO- IT
THROUGH THIS BILL TO CREATE
TRANSPARENCY SO THAT WE
ACTUALLY KNOW WHO IS BEHIND THE
L. L. C. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
FORM WILL MODIFY. AND SO MY
COMMITMENT TO WORK WITH THE-
SECRETARY OF STATE AS WELL AS
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE-
IN THIS REGARD THAT IS WHAT ASK
THE DEBT IS BODY ALLOW THIS
BILL TO MOVE FORWARD SO WE CAN
GET. I WORK CLOSELY TOGETHER IN
ORDER TO GET- THIS BO- ON THE
FLOOR AND PASSED. THANK YOU FOR
THE SUMMER GIVES IT WHAT WHAT
WHAT IS WHAT WHAT'S THE SECTOR
STATES POSITION ON THE BILL THE
SECRETARY OF STATE HAS NO
POSITION AVAILABLE ALL RIGHT AT
THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU
SIMPLY MEMBER ALL RIGHT- ANY
OTHER FURTHER QUESTIONS.
ANYTHING. FOR THE MOTION. I'M
SORRY. SENATOR ALSO MOVES THE
BILL ALL RIGHT MAN CHIEF
COUNSEL PLEASE BOTH WOULD LIKE
TO CLOSE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THANK YOU THANK YOU AND I WANT
TO JUST APPRECIATE THE CHAIR
WHEN WE ASK THE QUESTION I JUST
WANTED TO PROVIDE SOME CLARITY
TO MY UNDERSTANDING MY- HE
BEING HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SUBSTANTIAL AND
THAT'S 25% OF THE EQUITY
INTEREST IN A QUALIFIED
ENTITLEMENT- THAT'S WHERE THE
INDIVIDUALS WOULD IN FACT BE A
DISCLOSE IF THERE'S THAT MUCH
OF YOUR INTEREST AS A
STAKEHOLDER INTO A PIECE OF
PROPERTY OR THE L. L. C. THAT
INFORMATION WILL BE IN FACT.
DISCLOSED IN ADDITION TO THE S.
MEMBERS I THINK THE OPPOSITION
WERE TALKING ABOUT. WHAT
INDIVIDUALS- STATING WHEN THEY
WERE UP IN SUPPORT OF THIS
PARTICULAR BILL- I DIDN'T
MENTION BLACKSTONE OR ANYONE
ELSE- DO WHAT I SHARE WITH YOU
IS WHAT THIS BILL INTENDS TO DO
AND THAT IS TO PROVIDE
TRANSPARENCY. THIS BILL IS TO
MAKING SURE THAT INDIVIDUALS
WHO WANT TO. KNOW WHO THEY'RE
ALL WHO THE NEIGHBORS ARE-
WHETHER IT'S A CORPORATION
WHOSE BEHIND CORPORATION. AND
THAT INFORMATION SHOULD BE MADE
PUBLIC- MY PROPERTY IS MADE
PUBLIC AND WHY SHOULD SOMEONE
HIDE BEHIND LOC THE PROFESSOR
FROM GEORGETOWN INDICATING-
THAT LOC WAS NOT CREATED TO
HIDE THE INDIVIDUAL'S IDENTITY.
BUT IT'S BECOME THAT AND SO
THIS BILL EIGHT EIGHT NINE SIX
TWO ONE PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY-
WE CANNOT TO EIGHT NINE TO STOP
A CORPORATION FROM PURCHASING
PROPERTY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
BUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW.
WHO'S BEHIND THESE CORPORATIONS
LLCS ARE RESPECTFULLY ASK WHEN

NEXT- THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
CONSOLIDATES AB. SEVEN OH ONE.
THANK YOU. MY TALKING POINTS A
GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD EVENING
CHAIR AND MEMBERS AT FIRST OFF
I'D LIKE TO ACCEPT ALL OF THE
COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENTS AND I
WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
STAFFER WORKING CLOSELY WITH US
ON THIS LANGUAGE WHICH RESPONSE
TO MANY OF THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS TO MAKE NEXT DAY
DELIVERY POSSIBLE CORPORATIONS
LIKE AMAZON HAVE FORCED
WAREHOUSE WORKERS TO MOVE
FASTER SERVICE MORE CUSTOMERS
IN RECORD AMOUNTS OF TIME AND
RISK THEIR OWN BODIES IN THE
PROCESS. EVERY DAY THEY FACE
INCREASING WORK SPEEDS TO MEET
RELENTLESS PRODUCTIVE
PRODUCTIVITY QUOTAS THEIR TIME
MOMENTS AND HOW QUICKLY THEY
CAN PACKAGE UP TO FOUR HUNDRED
ITEMS IN OUR OFFICE IN REGARDS
TO SIZE OR WEIGHT OF THE ITEM
IS STRICTLY MONITORED BY ALL
THE RHYTHM. AI MINUTES BETWEEN
SCANNING PACKAGES WHERE THE
SYSTEM DETECTS THE WORKERS OFF
TASK CAN RESULT IN AUTOMATIC
DISCIPLINE AND EVEN
TERMINATION. CORPORATIONS LIKE
AMAZON OR SETTING THE INDICES
INDUSTRY STANDARD OF WHAT'S
CONSIDERED COMPETITIVE AMONG
THE MOST PHYSICALLY DANGEROUS
JOBS IN PRIVATE SECTOR AND THE
NUMBERS DON'T LOOK GOOD. AMAZON
WORKERS ARE INJURED ON THE JOB
TWICE THE AVERAGE RATE OF THE
OVERALL WE'RE HOUSING INDUSTRY
AND THREE TIMES THE AVERAGE
RATE ACROSS ALL PRIVATE
EMPLOYERS. DURING THE PANDEMIC
AMAZON SERIOUS INJURY RATE WAS
80% HIGHER THAN THE RATE FOR
ALL OTHER WAREHOUSE EMPLOYERS.
ALMOST 89% OF THOSE INJURED
WORKERS HAD TO MISS WORK THE
EXPERIENCE LONGER RECOVERY
PERIODS AND OTHER WORKERS
WAREHOUSE WORKERS. WHERE
WORKERS HAVE REPEATEDLY GOTTEN
INJURED ON THE JOB BECAUSE THEY
WERE FORCED TO RUSH THROUGH
SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO TRY TO MEET.
THE RATE YET MOST STILL CANNOT
SPEAK OUT FOR FEAR OF LOSING
THEIR JOB THESE DANGEROUS
PRACTICES ARE CAUSING AMAZON TO
TURN THREE WORKERS AT AN
UNPRECEDENTED RATE AND IT'S
SIMPLY UNSUSTAINABLE. THE
ANNUAL TURNOVER RATE FOR
WAREHOUSE WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES WITH AMAZON
DISTRIBUTION CENTERS HAS SHOT
UP TO OVER A 100% PER YEAR.
THEY'RE REPLACING THEIR ENTIRE
WORK FORCE A 100% OF THE TIME
EACH YEAR. WE SHOULD HAVE TO
SPECIFY LAW THAT WORKERS HAVE A
RIGHT TO USE THE BATHROOM DRINK
WATER OR THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT
TO WASH THEIR HANDS AND
SANITIZER APPOINTMENT DURING
THE PANDEMIC. WE CANNOT STAND
BY AND ACCEPT THESE UNDIGNIFIED
IN UNSAFE CONDITIONS AS THE NEW
FUTURE OF WORK. EIGHTY SEVEN NO
ONE WOULD MAKE IT CLEAR WORKERS
CANNOT BE DISCIPLINED FOR
FAILING TO MEET A QUOTA THAT
DIDN'T ALLOW THEM TO COMPLY
WITH EXISTING HEALTH AND SAFETY
LAWS NO LABOR CODE OR CAL OSHA
STANDARDS. THAT COMPLIANCE
COULD NOT BE COUNTED AGAINST
THEM AS BEING OFF TASK IF A
WORKER FACES DISCIPLINE WITHIN
NINETY DAYS DAYS AFTER THEY
FILED A COMPLAINT ABOUT HEALTH
AND SAFETY CONCERNS RELATED TO
QUOTA. AB SEVEN OH ONE WOULD
CREATE EVERY BOTTLE FULL
PERCEPTION THAT THE AD ADVERSE
ACTION TAKEN BY THE COMPANIES
WAS RETALIATORY. EIGHTY SEVEN
OH ONE WOULD ALSO DIRECT HELLO
SHOULDDEVELOP A WAREHOUSE
SPECIFIC SAFETY STANDARDS. THAT
MINIMIZE WORKER INJURIES IN
WAREHOUSES THAT USE PRODUCTION
QUOTAS. AFTER TAKING AMENDMENTS
AND SENATE LABOR WE CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE OPPOSITION AND
THIS COMMITTEE TO MAKE
SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS TO
ADDRESS. THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS INCLUDING LIMITING
FORMER EMPLOYEES ABILITY
REQUEST QUOTE INFORMATION AND
PERSONAL WORKS B. DATA.
LIMITING THE REBUTTABLE
PRESUMPTION SO CONFUSE
REPETITIVELY BY CURRENT
EMPLOYEES. IN NARROWING THE
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF ONLY TO
ADDRESS UNSAFE QUOTAS AMONG
OTHER CHANGES. THE PAGA.
IMPLICATIONS OF THIS BILL ARE
ALL CURABLE WE MADE SURE THAT
THE LANGUAGE WAS VERY CLEAR ON
THAT SO THEY ALWAYS HAVE THIRTY
DAYS THEY ALWAYS HAVE DAYS TO
CURE. AND THIS IS IMPORTANT
BILL FOR ALL OF OUR WORKFORCE
BUT ESPECIALLY WAREHOUSE
WORKERS. I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S
STILL AVAILABLE I KNOW HE HAD
TIME CONSTRAINTS BUT I DID HAVE
RON FERRER THE PRESENTLY LA
LABOR FED. AS THE LEAD- WITNESS
ALL RIGHT MISS. MR ERA ARE YOU
AVAILABLE. YES GERMAN NUMBER
ALL RIGHT THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU DISTINGUISHED
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS RON FERRER
AS YOU HEARD ON THE PRESIDENT
OF THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
FEDERATION OF LABOR AND
INTERNATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS I'M
SPEAKING TODAY ON BEHALF OF
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS WHO WORK IN THE
WAREHOUSE IN CALIFORNIA EIGHTY
SEVEN OH ONE. IT IS AN URGENT
PRIORITY IS IT SEEKS TO CREATE
MUCH NEEDED TRANSPARENCY AND
SAFETY PROTECTION FOR WORKERS
WHO ARE WORKING TIRELESSLY TO
GIVE US A GOOD IN RECORD TIME.
THE WAREHOUSING INDUSTRY IS
GROWING IT HAS TRIPLED IN SIZE
IN LOS ANGELES WE WELCOME THIS
GIRL BUT WE MUST PROTECT THE
WORK FORCE AND THE INDUSTRY AND
SHARE THIS IT HAS NOT BEEN
EXPANDED BY BREAKING THE BACKS
OF WORKERS AND MOSTLY YOUNG
WORKERS OF COLOR. IT IS
UNACCEPTABLE THAT WORKERS ARE
REPORTING HAVING TO WORK ON
YOUR QUOTE IS THAT ARE
IMPOSSIBLE TO MEET THAT WORKERS
ARE FORGOING BASIC HUMAN NEEDS
SUCH AS USING THE RESTROOM SO
THAT THEY CAN MEET THE BRUTAL
QUOTAS WAREHOUSES. THAT WORKERS
IN THEIR EARLY TWENTIES ARE
SUFFERING FROM TORN LIGAMENTS
BRANDON SERIOUS INJURIES IN
INJURIES THAT LEAVE THEM OUT OF
WORK FOR MONTHS AT A TIME THESE
JOBS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN
CONSTRUCTION. AND EVEN COAL
MINE. HUNDREDS OF I HAD HELPED
CREATE WHERE HOW ALLOWS WORKERS
TO MEET CODE. STANDARDS WILL
NOT ROCKING THEM. OF THE RIGHT
TO SAFETY MINE MEMBERS WORK
HARD AND WITHOUT THE FEAR OF
GETTING GETTING FIRED FOR
SPEAKING UP AGAINST WORKING
CONDITIONS. THESE ARE THE
STANDARDS WE ARE RECREATING
WITH A. B. SEVEN OH ONE
STANDARDS THAT ARE NECESSARY
FOR THIS INDUSTRY TO CONTINUE
TO GROW AND THRIVE STANDARDS
THAT CAN PREVENT THE HUNDRED
AND 50% TURNOVER RATE WE SEE IN
THE WAREHOUSES LIKE AMAZON. I
ENCOURAGE YOU. TO LOOK AT THE
CORE FUNCTIONS OF THIS BILL AND
SEE HOW ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO
IS CREATE BASIC PROTECTIONS FOR
WORKERS IN AN INDUSTRY. THAT IS
AT THE CENTER OF OUR ECONOMY
FOR THE SAKE OF WORKERS AND-WAREHOUSES. WE HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO LEGISLATE THE
STRONGEST STANDARDS POSSIBLE I

WORKING WITH MY STAFF TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE CHAIRS
CONCERNS WHILE KEEPING THE
SPIRIT OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH IN TACT. WHICH IS TO
SEE UPWARD MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE
OF COLOR IN THE CIVIL SERVICE
SYSTEM. MEMBERS TODAY I'M
PRESENTING A B. ONE OH FIVE A
BILL THAT IDENTIFIES AND
REFORMS PROCESSES THAT HINDER
UPWARD MOBILITY FOR PEOPLE OF
COLOR IN THE CIVIL SERVICE
SYSTEM. OVER THE PAST FEW
MONTHS THE SACRAMENTO BEE HAS
PUBLISHED A SERIES OF LETTERS
WRITTEN ON BEHALF OF AFRICAN
AMERICAN EMPLOYEES WORKING AT
ORGANIZATIONS. SUCH AS THE
CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD.
OUR CALIFORNIA PRISON SYSTEM
AND THE OFFICE OF STATE
PUBLISHING. ALL OF THESE
INSTANCES HAVE A COMMON
DENOMINATOR. THERE ARE BARRIERS
TO UPWARD MOBILITY AND
INCLUSION. LAST YEAR GOVERNOR
NEWSOM TOOK A BOLD STEP FORWARD
BY SIGNING MY BILL AB NINE
SEVEN NINE WHICH REQUIRES EACH
PUBLICLY HELD CORPORATION WHOSE
PRINCIPAL. EXECUTIVE OFFICES
ARE LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA. THEY
HAVE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF
DIRECTORS FROM UNDER
REPRESENTED COMMUNITIES ON ITS
BOARDS OF DIRECTORS. THE GOAL
WAS PLAIN AND SIMPLE WE NEED TO
INCREASE UPWARD MOBILITY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE OF
COLOR. THIS WAS A PRAISE WORTHY
STEP FOR EMPLOYEES IN THE
PRIVATE SECTOR. HOWEVER THERE
ARE PERPETUAL BARRIERS TO
UPWARD MOBILITY THAT EXIST IN
OUR PUBLIC SECTOR SERVICE CIVIL
SERVICE SYSTEM. IT IS IN THIS
SPIRIT THAT I HAVE PUT FORWARD
A NUMBER OF CIVIL SERVICE
REFORMS. THAT ARE REFLECTED IN
A B. ONE OH FIVE. FOR STARTERS
AB ONE OF FIVE CALLS FOR
DIVERSITY ON THE STATE'S BOARD
AND COMMISSIONS THAT HAVE
VOLUNTEERS AS YOU KNOW THE
CONSTITUTION DID NOT ALLOW
PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT BASED ON
RACE GENDER OR SEXUAL
ORIENTATION. AND THE OPERATION
OF PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT. EDUCATION
AND CONTRACTING THEREFORE THE
LEGISLATURE CANNOT REQUIRE
DIVERSITY RECORD REGARDING
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS. THAT
SOLELY HAVE STATE EMPLOYEES.
HOWEVER THE LEGISLATURE IS
ALLOWED TO REQUIRE DIVERSITY ON
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS WERE THE
BOARD MEMBER COMMISSIONER IS A
VOLUNTEER. MAYBE ONE OF FIVE
SIX TO DIVERSIFY THE POSITIONS
OF VOLUNTEER BOARD MEMBERS AND
COMMISSIONERS AS VACANCIES
OCCUR. ADDITIONALLY THE BILL
REQUIRES THAT THE STATE
PERSONNEL BOARD ESTABLISHED A
PROCESS THAT INCLUDES DIVERSITY
AND BEST PRACTICES IN EACH
ASPECT OF THE DESIGN.
ANNOUNCEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
OF EXAMINATIONS FOR THIS
TALISMAN OF EMPLOYMENT LISTS.
THE DIVERSE PERSPECTIVE ON ALL
ASPECTS OF THE HIRING PROCESS
PROVIDES FOR A MORE DIVERSE
WORKFORCE AND BETTER OUTCOMES.
EIGHTY ONE OH FIVE PROVIDES
THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN
RESOURCES MAY DEVELOP MODEL
UPWARD MOBILITY GOALS. TO
INCLUDE RACE GENDER AND LGBT Q.
AS FACTORS TO EXTENT POSSIBLE
UNDER STATE AND FEDERAL EQUAL
PROTECTION LAWS. MEMBERS THE
INCLUSION OF THESE FACTORS ARE
SIMPLY MEANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE
NEED FOR DIVERSITY. I'M AWARE
OF THE PROVISIONS OF PROP TWO
OH NINE AND I WANT TO ASSURE
YOU THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT
VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION. OVER
THE PAST SEVEN YEARS. THE
COLLEGE OUR WORKFORCE ANALYSIS
INSTANCES REPORTS INDICATE
CONSISTENTLY THAT OVER SIXTY
PERCENT. OF THOSE IN MANAGEMENT
POSITIONS ARE WHITE ALE AND
FEMALE. ON THE OTHER END OF THE
SPECTRUM OVER 60% OF THOSE
MAKING LESS THAN FORTY THOUSAND
OR PEOPLE OF COLOR. THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR IMPLICIT BIAS
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. FINALLY
A. B. ONE OH FIVE REQUIRES THAT
COLLEGE ARE SUBMITTED WITHIN
ITS ANNUAL WORKFORCE ANALYSIS
AND CENSUS REPORT ALL OF THE
ADVERSE ACTIONS TAKEN BY
DEPARTMENTS AGAINST EMPLOYEES.
THE CALLS FOR THE REPORTS TO
INCLUDE THE TYPE OF ADVERSE
ACTION THAT THIS CITY GENDER
AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION IF
AVAILABLE. THE GOAL IS TO SEE
THAT. THERE IS A IF SEE IF
THERE'S A PATTERN OF
DISCRIMINATION IN THE
DEPARTMENT'S. MEMBERS OVER THE
PAST YEAR ISSUES OF SOCIAL
JUSTICE DIVERSITY EQUITY AND
INCLUSION HAVE BEEN. TOP AREAS
OF CONCERN NATIONALLY AND HERE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT
HAS BEEN NEARLY EIGHT YEARS
SINCE GOVERNOR BROWN'S
REORGANIZATION PLAN FOR CIVIL
SERVICE. COLLEGE R. HAS
PROVIDED US OVER SEVEN YEARS OF
DATA. THAT HIGHLIGHTS THAT
THERE ARE PROCESSES IN PLACE
THAT HINDER UPWARD MOBILITY FOR
PEOPLE OF COLOR. THIS BILL
REPRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
FINE TUNE OUR CIVIL SERVICE
SYSTEM. WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT. IS A MANUAL AMOR FOR
CO FOUNDER DIRECTOR ABOUT REACH
COALITION OF BLACK EMPLOYEES.
AND CHRIS LOXTON WITH THE
COALITION FOR JUST AND
EQUITABLE CALIFORNIA WITH THAT
I ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS. THANK

LEVEL OF OUR LEADERS. ARE NOT
BEING UTILIZED RESPECTIVELY
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE MOST
QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE.
THESE ARE THESE ARE SOME OF THE
COMMENTS HE SAID AND I'VE HEARD
FROM MANY STATE EMPLOYEES OF
COLORS. THEY DID THE DAMAGE
CALIFORNIA HAS ALREADY SHOWN
ITSELF TO BE THE LEADER OF
NATIONAL CHANGE BUT REPARATIONS
PLANTS FOR DESCENDANTS OF
SLAVES. WHERE THE MOST
CONSCIENTIOUS STATE IN THE
COUNTRY AND ALWAYS WANT TO
WRITE LONG. I AND MANY OF OUR
MEMBERS HAVE WORK WITH THE
STATE FROM WORK FROM THREE TO
THIRTY YEARS AND THE MOST
DISHEARTENING EXPERIENCE WE
SHARED. IN QUALITY THE
PROMOTION ABUSE OF POWER AND
MISTREATMENT OF PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND ALL STATE DEPARTMENT. THIS
IS LIKE EIGHTY ONE OF FIVE IT
WAS VERY PERSONAL TO US BECAUSE
IT AFFECTS ALL OF US DIRECTLY.
WE CRIED OUT TO OUR DEPARTMENT
EXECUTIVE SECRETARY AND ACTING
BUT OUR CRIES WERE DAMPENED BY
THEIR LACK OF INTEREST. TO MAKE
A CHANGE. EIGHTY ONE OH FIVE IS
THE FIRST STEP TO WRITING
PRACTICES THAT ARE WRONG. WE'RE
FATHERS MOTHERS SONS SISTERS
DAUGHTERS VOTERS AND LEADERS.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR EQUALITY
IN STATE DEPARTMENT DEVELOPS
FOR THE PEOPLE. WE ALL KNOW
WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT IS WRONG.

SIGNING YOUR NAME INTO THE

QUEUE ARE A GREAT THANK YOU
LET'S BRING IT BACK TO THE
CHAMBER- QUESTIONS COMMENTS.
SIX SENATOR- SENT A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS. YES MISTER CHAIR
AND- THE I HAVE A QUESTION AS
TO WHY- WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF
STRIPPING AS P. B. AT THE AT
THIRTY TO CONDUCT INDEPENDENT
AUDITS AND INVESTIGATIONS. A
PERSONAL PRACTICES IT JUST
SEEMS COUNTER INTUITIVE TO ME
AND I IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE
WHY YOU TAKE IT AWAY FROM AN
INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION AND
PUT IT SOMEWHERE WHERE. THEY DO
ALL THE HIRING AND THE FIRING.
SEVEN NUMBER HOLD. I THINK THE
GOAL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
IS OPPORTUNITY FOR TRANSPARENCY
AND FOR THERE TO BE- A PROCESS
IN PLACE TO ALLOW FOR THE KIND
OF ACCOUNTABILITY WHERE- THOSE
WHO ARE SEEKING TO HAVE THEIR
OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROMOTION
EVALUATED CAN BE EVALUATED IN A
WAY THAT THERE WAS CLARITY AND
TRANSPARENCY TO THE TO THE
PROCESS AND I THINK THAT WAS
ESSENTIALLY THE- THE THINKING
BEHIND. OKAY THE PROBE. SO MY
AND MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY I
THINK IT'S- MAKE IT MAKES A LOT
OF SENSE I SEE WHERE YOU'RE
TRYING TO GO WITH IT BUT SBB
WAS SET UP AS AN INDEPENDENT.
ENTITY TO DO AUDITS AND
INVESTIGATION OF PERSONNEL
PRACTICES SO IT JUST DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE TO ME JUST TO SEND
THAT OVER TO KELLY CHAR- WHEN
THIS IS REALLY A- A BODY THAT
WAS SPECIFICALLY SET UP TO LOOK
AT- AND HOW OUR SYSTEMS WORK
SO- I'M JUST GONNA. I'LL LAVE
THAT THERE- AND- AND I WILL
SUPPORT THE BILL- DELIVERY HOLD
YOU WISH ADDRESS THE POINTER IN
YOUR CLOTHES WOULD LIKE TO
ADDRESS IT. WELL I APPRECIATE
THE POINT AND I'M HAPPY TO-
PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION THAT WE DROVE ON TO
REACH THAT CONCLUSION BECAUSE I
THINK IT WAS AFTER HAVING-
REVIEWED THE CALLOUS OUR
REPORTS AND HOW- THE- THE
ISSUES THAT WERE. IMPEDING THE
UPWARD MOBILITY OPPORTUNITIES.
THAT WE WERE SEEN NOT. THE
BECAUSE THIS IS A PROCESS THAT
WAS IN PLACE AT THE ESPYS WERE
IN PLACE SO WE'RE TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE'S- SOME CLARITY TO
THIS AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND I
THINK THAT. THERE MAY BE SOME
OTHER ELEMENTS THAT I'M LEAVING
OUT TODAY BUT I'M HAPPY TO
SHARE WITH YOU TO. ADDRESS
FURTHER YOU'RE CONCERNED. PARTY
THANK YOU CENTERS FOR. MISTER
CHAIRMAN I HOLD THIS AUTHOR IN
HIGH REGARD HE'S BEEN A FRIEND
OF MINE FOR DECADES BUT I HAVE
A BONE TO PICK WITH THEM WITH
RESPECT TO THIS MEASURE. IN TWO
THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN I
INTRODUCE. THE UPWARD MOBILITY
ACT. AND I THINK THERE MIGHT BE
SOME INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY-
ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO THIS
MEASURE. FORTUNATELY MY UPWARD
MOBILITY ACT HAD TO DO WITH MY
SERVICE TAX THAT NEVER MADE IT
ANYWHERE IN. FIFTEEN SIXTEEN
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN OR NINETEEN.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO NOTE FOR
THE RECORD THAT THE UPWARD
MOBILITY ACT WAS THE SERVICE
TAX THAT NEVER WENT ANYWHERE
AND I OPEN MY FRIENDS GOOD WILL
THAT HIS UPWARD MOBILITY ACT
DOES IT BETTER THAN BY UPWARD
MOBILITY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I ALSO HAD ONE IN
TRANSPORTATION CALLED UPWARD
MOBILITY THANK YOU SENATOR HERS
FOR AGAIN. FOR EITHER OF YOU
TWO ALL RIGHT. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS- IT IS-
YOU KNOW SIMPLY MEMBER HOLDING-
I THINK THIS IS A LAUDABLE GOAL
I THINK YOU'VE LEFT OUT TWO
VERY IMPORTANT CATEGORIES OF
THOSE WHO ARE PROTECTED.
PERSONS UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW A
DISABLED AS WELL AS VETERANS I
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONTINUE
TO CONSIDER INCLUDING A MORE
COMPLETE LIST OF THOSE WHO
SHOULD BE- NOT JUST CONSIDERED
BUT ALSO FOCUSED UPON FOR
PURPOSES OF BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS. ALL RIGHT I
APPRECIATE THE SUGGESTION AND
CERTAINLY- MISTER CHAIRMAN- I
TAKE YOUR YOUR THOUGHTS A VERY
SERIOUSLY AND AS WE REFLECTED
BACK AFTER OUR CONVERSATION IT
BECAME. JUST TO REITERATE THAT
UNDER NINE SEVEN NINE IT WAS
REALLY ESTABLISHING WHAT UNDER
REPRESENTED COMMUNITIES- WHO
ARE NOT EVIDENTLY- ON THESE
BOARDS- IN A WAY THAT SHOWS
REPRESENTATION. THAT DATA
REPORTS THAT WERE IN PLACE THEY
WERE COULD JUSTIFY EACH GROUP
WHO FALLS UNDER THE UNDER
REPRESENTED CATEGORIES- WHY
THERE IS AN ISSUE THERE AND
WHERE THERE NEEDS TO BE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO INCREASE THEIR
REPRESENTATION ON THESE BOARDS.
AND AS I. WAS NOTING- THE S. B.
SEVEN OH TWO. A LOW MOAN
ESTABLISHES REALLY BACK DATA
WHICH I THINK IS VERY CRITICAL
TO THE NEXT STEP SO IT'S THE
DATA IN THE MANDATE AND WITHIN
HER BILL THERE'S A CALLS OUT
WITHIN SECTION THIRTEEN OH FIVE
B. THE COLLECTION OF DATA ON
DISABLED DISABILITY STATUS AND
VETERAN STATUS. AS IT RELATES
TO THE STATE BOARD MEMBERS AND
COMMISSIONS AND SINCE THAT'S
CALLED OUT CURRENTLY IN ER
BILL WHICH THIS COMMITTEE
APPROVED IT IS THE WHAT I WOULD
CALL THE PRECURSOR TO THE NEXT
STEP WHICH WOULD BE THE MANDATE
WHICH THIS BILL IS DESIGNED TO
DO AND I'M VERY HAPPY. TO
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT- AS WE GO
FORWARD HOW THAT CAN BE
ADDRESSED IN FUTURE BILLS
ALREADY THANKS VERY MUCH- I

MR CHAIRMAN- FIRST I'D LIKE TO
STATE THAT I ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS AND I THINK THAT'S
HERE AND HIS CONSULTANT FOR
WORKING WITH MY TAFF TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE TEACHERS
CONCERNS. BOB TURN MEMBERS
TODAY I PRESENT IN A. B. NINE
FORTY EIGHT A BILL THAT
REQUIRES THAT EVERY CONTRACT
FOR THE SALE OF REAL PROPERTY.
CONTAIN A NOTICE INFORMING THE
BUYER AND SELLER OF THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REPORT ANY
SUSPICION OF DISCRIMINATORY
APPRAISAL. BY A REAL ESTATE
APPRAISER THROUGH THE BUREAU OF
REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS INTERNET
WEBSITE OR TELEPHONE NUMBER.
FOR THOSE THAT SEEK TO
REFINANCE THEIR PROPERTY THE
NOTICE WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE
LOAN MATERIAL. MEMBERS THE FAIR
HOUSING ACT OF NINETEEN SIXTY
EIGHT PROHIBITS HOME APPRAISERS
FROM DISCRIMINATING BASED ON
RACE RELIGION NATIONAL ORIGIN
OR GENDER. HOWEVER OVER FIFTY
YEARS AFTER THE ACT WAS PUT IN
PLACE THE HOMES OF PEOPLE OF
COLOR ARE STILL BEING
UNDERVALUED. RECENTLY THERE
HAVE BEEN A SERIES OF
DOCUMENTED INSTANCES WHERE THE
HOMES OF PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE
BEING UNDERESTIMATED. FOR
EXAMPLE IN MARIN CITY AN
APPRAISER S. UNDERESTIMATED A
BLACK COUPLES HOME BY NEARLY
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND. IN
OAKLAND AN APPRAISER LOWBALL
THE VALUE OF A BLACK AND PORTER
RICAN COUPLE'S HOME BY TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOUR
THOUSAND. THERE HAVE BEEN
ADDITIONAL HEADLINES IN NEWS
REPORTS OF RACIAL BIAS IN REAL
ESTATE APPRAISALS THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED STATES. MAYBE NINE
FORTY EIGHT WOULD REQUIRE THE
BUREAU REAL ESTATE APPRAISERS
TO PLACE ON ITS EXISTING
COMPLAINT FORM. A PLACE FOR
BUYERS AND SELLERS OR WITH
PERMISSION THE REAL ESTATE OF
REPRESENTATIVES TO VOLUNTARILY
PROVIDE DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION. NINE FOUR EIGHT
WOULD REQUIRE THE BUREAU TO
COMPILE THE DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION. AND SUBMIT A
REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON OR
BEFORE. JULY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. IN TERMS OF
CONTINUING EDUCATION THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE AN APPLICANT. FOR
APPRAISAL LICENSE INTO A
COMPLETE CULTURAL COMPETENCY
AND ELIMINATION. OF BIAS
TRAINING FINALLY THIS BILL ADDS
ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES TO THE
FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT
REGARDING DISCRIMINATION AND
THE PROVISIONS OF APPRAISAL
SERVICES. MEMBERS FOR MANY
CALIFORNIA IS THEIR HOME IS
CONSIDERED TO BE THE GREATEST
ASSET. THE EQUITY IN THEIR HOME
ALLOWS THEM TO FIND CONTINUING
EDUCATION FOR THEIR CHILDREN
RETIREMENT AND HEALTH EXPENSES.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A TIMELY
BILL AND I ASK FOR YOUR I.
VOTE. TONIGHT FOR THOSE OF
THOSE WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT. OUR OUT OF BOX WITH

OF THE APPRAISAL INSTITUTE. THE
NATION'S LARGEST REAL ESTATE
APPRAISER ORGANIZATION. GIVEN

FREE- THESE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
REPORTS ARE VERY VERY
CONCERNING OUR HEARTS HOPE THAT
THERE WERE SOME EXPLANATION
OTHER THAN RACE. BETTER HEAD
SUGGESTS THAT WE DON'T KNOW AND
IT'S VERY SIMPLE- REAL ESTATE
APPRAISING SHOULD ESTIMATE THE
VALUE OF A PIECE OF REAL
PROPERTY AT A GIVEN POINT OF
TIME. IN THE RACE NATIONALITY
ETHNICITY. SEXUAL ORIENTATION.
ETCETERA SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO
DO WITH VALUE SO WE THINK THAT-
MR HOLDEN IS PUT TOGETHER
THOUGHTFUL PACKAGE HERE IT'S
NOT JUST CONTINUING EDUCATION
IT'S DISCLOSURE IT'S A PLACE TO
COMPLAIN. IT'S A START START

CURRENT DIRECT PROXIMATE CAUSE
LEGAL STANDARD IS STATUTE HAS
CREATED INCONSISTENCY WHEN
APPLYING CLASS W. CITATIONS IN
OUR STATE'S NURSING HOMES.
BECAUSE COURTS HAVE CONCLUDED
THAT DIRECT PROXIMATE CAUSE IS
CONFUSING. AND UNCLEAR. IN FACT
THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT
HAS SINCE REJECTED THE

THE LATE HOUR. A WESTERN
GROWERS IS STRONGLY OPPOSED TO
EIGHTEEN EIGHT FIVE SEVEN- THE
BILL REPRESENTS FAR MORE THAN A
SIMPLE NOTIFICATION. A
PROCEDURE THAT IN FACT. CHANGE
IS THAT A LOCK ON A TRAVEL

PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED BY THE
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT. IN
THE EARLY IN PERSON WHILE
PACKERS NUMBER YOU CAN GET IN

EIGHTY EIGHT EIGHT FIVE SEVEN
AT NEW SITUATIONS WHEREBY
TRAVEL TIME WOULD BE REQUIRED
H. U. H. TWO EIGHT EMPLOYEE.
ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL GOES
WELL BEYOND EXISTING COURT
STATIONS BY REQUIRING THAT THE
TRAVEL TWENTY EIGHT AT THE
REGULAR RATE OF PAY. THIS IS
NOT A NOTICE OF EXISTING RIGHT
SINCE CURRENT LAW REQUIRES A
TRAVEL TWENTY COMPLICATED AT NO
LESS THAN THE- MINIMUM WAGE.
FINALLY THEY'RE STILL
SIGNIFICANTLY MAYORS AT ELEVEN

GOVERNOR NEWSOM LAST YEAR. AND
IS IT A MESSAGE THE GOVERNOR

THE EMPLOYEE NOTIFICATION
TEMPLATE THAT WAS CONTEMPLATED
IN AT ELEVEN A JUNIOR. STUDENT
THAT IS A PROCESS THAT CAN MORE
READILY TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
CHANGES IN H. TWO EIGHT
GOVERNING LAW. AND ANY FUTURE
COURT DECISIONS. WE STRONGLY
BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
DIRECTION OUTLINED IF YOU DON'T
MATCH IT SHOULD PROCEED FORWARD
WITHOUT THE INTERFERENCE OF
EIGHT EIGHTY EIGHT FIVE SEVEN.

OTHERS. THAT WE ARE CLOSE TO

LIKE THIS EIGHTY EIGHT FIFTY
SEVEN DOES NOT CHANGE THE CASE
ODD DEFINITION OF COMPENSABLE
TRAVEL TIME FOR H. TWO A.
WORKERS. IN CALIFORNIA ALL TIME
SPENT UNDER THE CONTROL OF AN
EMPLOYER MUST BE COMPENSATED.
IN COURT AND MARIO MAKE CLEAR
THAT EXTENDS TO TRAVEL TIME AND
CASES LIKE THOSE REFERENCING
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. SDLC
AND AL CONTAR REJECT THE NOTION
THAT IS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER
THAT TIME IS CHARACTERIZED AS
MANAGER MANDATORY OR VOLUNTARY.
AND RECOGNIZE THAT AND ILLUSORY
CHOICE IS NO CHOICE AT ALL.
THAT COMPATIBILITY TURNS ON
WHETHER THE EMPLOYER CONTROLS
WHEN WHERE AND HOW THE EMPLOYEE
GETS TO WORK. H. TWO A. WORKERS
ARE BROUGHT INTO THE COUNTRY BY
THEIR EMPLOYERS AND ARE
ASSIGNED TO SPECIFIC HOUSING
SITE THEY HAVE NO CARS NO
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS
AVAILABLE. AND THEIR ACCESS TO
OTHERS IS LIMITED. EMPLOYERS
CONTROL THEIR H. TO A CRUISE BY
TELLING THEM WHEN AND WHERE TO
REPORT NOT TO A FIELD OF WORK-LOCATION BUT TWELVE BUSTER VAN
AFTER HOUSING SITE. WORKERS
ADVANTECH INTO THE WORK SITE
SOMETIMES AN HOUR AWAY. AFTER
THE FIELD WORK AND THEY WAIT
FOR THE. EMPLOYER TO SEND THE
BUS TO COME AND PICK THEM UP.
THEY ARE UNDER THE CONTROL OF
THE EMPLOYER AND MUST BE PAID
FOR THAT TIME AT THE REGULAR
RATE OF PAY. WHICH FOR H. TWO
A. WORKERS IS GENERALLY BE A
WERE A HIGHER RATE OF PAY SET
BY FEDERAL H. TWO A. LAW. TO
ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO
FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO REPLACE
U. S. WORKERS WITH H. TWO WAY.
THE OPPONENTS OF THE BILL SEIZE
UPON THE VOLUNTARY LANGUAGE OF
MARIANE. AND IGNORE ITS
ANALYSIS AND THE TWENTY YEARS
OF CASE LAW APPLYING IT TO THE
BALDING SITUATIONS. THEY DO SO
TO PROTECT EMPLOYERS WHO
CURRENTLY UNDER CONTRACT AND ON
PLACARDS IN THE BOXES. PRESENT
AN ILLUSORY CHOICE BY STATING
THAT TRANSPORTATION IS
VOLUNTARY WHEN WORKERS HAVE NO
REAL ALTERNATIVE. TO GET TO THE
WORK SITE. CURRENTLY AND UNDER
PROPOSED SECTION. TWENTY EIGHT
TEN POINT SIXTY FIVE OF THE
BILL. WORKERS H. TWO A. WORKERS
WHO HAVE A REAL ALTERNATIVE TO
GET TO WORK AND ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO TAKE THE BUS. WILL
NOT BE ENTITLED TO
COMPENSATION. EIGHTY EIGHT

THANK YOU VERY MUCH READ NEXT

SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION AND HE
BEAT FIVE SEVEN YOU MAY PRESS
ONE THEN ZERO ON YOUR TELEPHONE
KEYPAD. I HAVE NO ONE QUEUING
UP ON THE PHONE ALL RIGHT CAN
YOU LET'S COME BACK TO THE
FLOOR- QUESTIONS COMMENTS BY
MEMBERS YES CENTER BOARD JUST.
FIGURES FEATURE. DISTURB POINT
OF CLARIFICATION MAYBE I CAN
POSE A QUESTION TO THREE YOU
TOO THE AUTHOR- IF HE'S WILLING
TO ACCEPT MY QUESTION WOULD BE.
IT IS THERE ANY CASE LAW THAT.
THAT EXPLAINS IN DETAIL THAT
THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE ENTITLED
TO PAY. WHILE IN TRANSIT AND WE
HEARD FROM SOMEONE THAT CALLED
IN IT SAYS WHEN YOU'RE UNDER
THE CONTROL THAT THAT BE THE
OPERATIVE- PART OF THE ANALYSIS
BUT WAS THIS RESOLVED IN THE
COURT SYSTEM. BUT SELLING
NUMBER CAR HERE SO THANK YOU
THE RESEARCHERS UNDER FARM THE
REALITY IS THAT. THE COURT
SYSTEM. MORE GENERALLY TALK
ABOUT MANITOBA SO VOLUNTARY
WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE IS
ACTUALLY A B. V. SEVEN IS
DECLARATORY OF EXISTING LAW.
AND ACTUALLY PUTS IN FACTORS TO
MAKE THE DETERMINATION BECAUSE
ONE CAN SAY VOLUNTARY. BUT AS
INDICATED BY THE BY THE WITNESS
OFTENTIMES A LOSER YOU SO FOR
EXAMPLE IF SOMEONE DOES NOT A
PERSONAL VEHICLE THEY CAN'T
TAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. TO
FROM THE WORK SITE YOU HAVE NO
REAL OTHER REAL OR TURNER TO
TAKE A TRANSPORTATION. PROBLEM
THE REQUIRED BY THE EMPLOYER
ASIA TAKE CHANCES PROVIDED FOR
BY THE EMPLOYER THESE ALL
FACTORS THAT ACTUALLY ALTHOUGH.
ON THE SURFACE MAYBE DIDN'T
MAYBE DEEMED VOLUNTARY IN
ACTUALITY IT'S MANDATED FOR
THEM TO BE ABLE TO PERFORM
THEIR DUTIES. R. M. THANK YOU
IT SEEMS AS IF THE BASED ON THE
REPRESENTATIONS BY AT LEAST ONE
OTHER CALLERS AT THIS WAS A
MATTER OF. LAW THAT HAD ALREADY
BEEN DETERMINED AND THIS WAS
SIMPLY EFFECTUATENG- YOU KNOW
SOME SORT OF- CASE LAW
DETERMINATION- IT I FIND IT
VERY DIFFICULT TO WRAP MY ARMS
AROUND THAT IF WE HAVE FEDERAL
LAW THAT'S REQUIRING
TRANSPORTATION. AND THEN FOLKS
ARE- OBLIGING- THAT SERVICE FOR
THEIR EMPLOYEES- THAT SEEMS
ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE. BUT TO
PAY THEM I IN TRANSIT JUST
SEEMS LIKE A BIT MUCH WHEN I
HAPPEN TO REPRESENT AN
AGRICULTURAL AREA AND YOU KNOW
SOMETIMES THERE MIGHT BE
DISTANCES ON IT OTHER TIMES-
THE RELATIVELY CLOSE. THE
WAITING TIME IS THAT THE THRUST
OF WHY YOU'RE PROPOSING THIS
BILL THAT THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT
WAITING TIME EITHER AT THE
BEGINNING. OF THE DAY BEGINNING
IN A SHIFT TOWARD THE END OF
THE SHIFT. THE CENTER THE
REALITY IS THAT. THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE WORKING
WITH THESE CONTRACTORS ARE
UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE
CONTRACTORS IN TERMS OF WHEN
THEIR SHIFT BEGINS AND WHERE
THEY GO EVERY DAY FOR THEIR
SHARE SO THE REALITY IS IT'S
NOT- OPTIONAL- THAT THEY STEP
ON THE BUS TO GO TO THE WORK
SITE. AND SO THEIR WORK DAY
STARTS WHEN THEIR EMPLOYER
TELLS THEM THE STARS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T STEP ON THE BUS.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WORK. ALL
RIGHT. I THINK WE'RE GONNA HEAR
IS THAT I'M SORRY GO AHEAD AND
I DON'T THEY DON'T FINISH HERE-
I THINK I UNDERSTAND- WHAT THIS
ISSUE IS- WE HAVE GONE THROUGH
A PANDEMIC. WHERE AGRICULTURE
AS A WHOLE HAS SUFFERED
GREATLY- IN A IN WE SHOULD ALL
BE TERRIBLY APPRECIATIVE OF
THOSE THAT CONTRIBUTE TO OUR
WORK FORCE ESPECIALLY THROUGH
THE H. TWO A. VISA PROGRAMS
THAT WERE DESPERATELY RELIANT
UPON. WE'RE ALSO IN A SITUATION
WHERE WE ARE IN A DEVASTATING
DROUGHT IN THAT DROUGHT. HAS IS
PROBABLY GOING TO CONTINUE ON
FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
SO WHEN YOU ADD NOT ONLY THE
ENORMOUS REGULATORY
OBLIGATIONS. THE DAD- ARE
IMPOSED UPON THE AGRICULTURE
SECTOR IN CALIFORNIA WE'RE BAR
NONE THE GOLD STANDARD OF THE
WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO
AGRICULTURE. ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AS WELL AS LABOR
PROTECTION. THAT YOU THEN MOVE
INTO. OUR WHAT WE'VE GONE
THROUGH IN THE PANDEMIC NOW
MOVING TO DROUGHT I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH YOU CAN MORE YOU CAN
IMPOSE UPON- IN INDUSTRY. AND
NOT EXPECTED TO BREAK- WITH
THAT I THINK. ALL ALL CONCLUDE
MY COMMENTS THANK YOU. ALREADY
THANK YOU SORT OF BORED JUST
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS I
SEE NO OTHER MICROPHONES RAISE
SENATOR ALSO MOVES THE BILL.
ALL RIGHT WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH RESEARCHER-
AND THE REALITY IS THAT- YOU
KNOW IN IN RESPONSE OF THE
COMMISSAR POSITION- THAT. FIRST
OF ALL THE DETAILS THE ISSUE WE
WILL WORK WITH THE GOVERNOR IN
TERMS OF GIVING A MORE
DISCUSSION LABOR COMMISSIONER
AND THOSE WITH ISSUES HAVE BEEN
RESOLVED- AND- HIS DAUGHTERS.
THE REALITY IS FEDERAL LAW DOES
NOT MANDATE THESE RICE WE
NOTICED A FORMER OCCURS AND
THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING.
AND ULTIMATELY THIS IS WELL
ESTABLISHED EMPLOYMENT LAW WHEN
IT COMES TO BEING UNDER CONTROL
THE EMPLOYER. HAS THE OPTION IS
OPPOSITE SHE INDICATED REFER TO
TECH WORKERS- FROM THE CAPITAL
SILICON VALLEY. THERE'S A BIG
DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIVING
IN SAN FRANCISCO MAKING A
CHOICE OF DRIVING THEIR TESLA
TAKING CALTRAIN OR STEPPING
INTO A BUS THAT HAS WIFI AND
COFFEE AND WENT ON TO WORK IN
SILICON VALLEY- AND A FARMER
OCCUR AS BEING TOLD WHERE TO
LIVE- EIGHT AND IS BEING KEPT
UNDER ALMOST COMPLETE CONTROL
THE EMPLOYER. AND SO WE HAVE TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A VERY
UNIQUE THIS IS A UNIQUE
SITUATION THAT IS EXPERIENCED
BY MANY THOUSANDS AND I'LL END
BY SAYING. THAT THE CALL THE
CRISIS HIT FARM WORKERS- AS BAD
AS ANYONE IN OURNATION AND OUR
STATE THEY'RE THE ONES DYING
THEY'RE THE ONES ALLOWING US TO
BE ABLE TO STAY AT HOME AND BE
WITH OUR FAMILIES AND BE SAFE
AND SECURE- AND I WANT TO THANK
THE CHAIRMAN AND HIS STAFF.
WERE PUTTING A LOT OF TIME INTO
THIS BILL A VALUE CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE CHAIR AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT AND I'M. GRATEFUL
AND WITHOUT A RECIPIENT'S RIVAL.

SHARON SENATORS- TODAY I'M
PRESENTING AB THREE THREE NINE
A BILL TO EXPAND AND PRESERVE
THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEMBERS
OF THE PUBLIC TO ENGAGE WITH
THEIR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. OUT OF
THE SEWER LINE DEPENDS ON MAKE
WE LEARNED THAT WE COULD ENGAGE
REMOTELY DIGITALLY AND
TELEPHONICALLY AND WE'RE
LOOKING TO RESERVE THAT FOR
LARGER SECTIONS THIS BILL ALSO
HAS- SOME RESIDENTS BECAUSE WE
LEARNED THAT IN NINETEEN FIFTY
THREE THE ORIGINAL BROWN ACT
WAS ALSO ASSEMBLY BILL THREE
THREE NINE GREAT COINCIDENCE.
THE NOW ALMOST SEVENTY YEARS
LATER WE'RE WORKING TO
MODERNIZE THE WAY GOVERNMENT
OPERATES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
THEIR CONSTITUENTS THIS BILL
REQUIRES CITY COUNCILS AND
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISOR
MEETINGS IN JURISDICTIONS WITH
A POPULATION OF OVER TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND TO ALLOW
THE PUBLIC TO RESPECT EITHER
THROUGH TELEPHONE OR INTERNET
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE
AS LOW GOVERNMENTS HAVE
SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTED A
REMOTE PARTICIPATION OPTIONS
RUN PANDEMIC. TO ADDRESS COST
CONCERNS ARE TAKEN MANY
SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS FOR FAR TOO LONG
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE BEEN
PRECLUDED FROM PURCHASING
GOVERNMENT DUE TO REQUIREMENTS
ATTEND IN PERSON THERE ARE MANY
REASONS WHY SOMEONE WOULD BE
UNABLE TO ATTEND SAY A TUESDAY
HEARING AT NINE PM. AND SAT
THERE FOR SEVERAL HOURS IN
ORDER TO MAKE A COMMENT SO
THEIR VOICES HEARD BUT AS LOCAL
AGENCIES HAVE ALREADY HAD TO
IMPLEMENT WAYS FOR MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC TO ENGAGE OUR MULTI
WE WANT TO SEE THESE
OPPORTUNITIES CONTINUED AFTER
THE BAND THAT MAKE IN ORDER FOR
US TO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT WE NEED TO BE ABLE
TO HEAR THE VOICES OF OUR
CONSTITUENTS AND REDUCE
EXISTING BARRIERS IN PLACE THAT
STOP THE PURPOSE MAY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS ON A. B. ASSEMBLY BILL
THREE THREE NINE AND WITH THAT
I HAVE HOPEFULLY
WHO ARE STILL ON THE LINE IT'S
DAVID SNYDER FROM THE EXECUTIVE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FIRST
MEDICAL MISSION AND BONNIE
LIEBERMAN FROM THE SANTA CLARA
UNIFIED SCHOOL BOARD ALREADY.
THANK YOU MR LIEBERMAN ARE YOU
AVAILABLE. I AM ALL RIGHT.
CLOSE YOUR EYES THANK YOU. GOOD
EVENING CHAIR AND MEMBERS HI MY
NAME IS BONNIE LIEBERMAN I AM A
BOARD MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF THE JANITOR UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT. I'M SPEAKING
IN SUPPORT AND. EIGHTY THREE
THREE NINETY DAY- THE LOCAL.
ELECTED IN A DRASTIC INCREASE
IN PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND
ENGAGEMENT IN OUR MEETING THEM.
IT'S STILL A TIMELY AND VERY
MUCH NEEDED TO CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCESSIBILITY TO MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC. AFTER SCHOOL- NUMBER I
OFTEN WORK WITH PARENTS WHO ARE
NOT ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR
MEETING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT
TRAVEL WITH MY CHILD CARE
OPTIONS FOR MEETINGS THAT MAY
GO ON FOR SEVERAL HOURS. DURING
THE PANDEMIC WE BEEN REQUIRED
TO FIND ALTERNATIVE METHODS TO
ENGAGE THE PUBLIC. WHICH HAS
INCLUDED NEW MEETING. PRIOR TO
THE PANDEMIC REGULAR IN PERSON
BOARD MEETINGS WITH A TRACKING
MAYBE A DOZEN MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC. DURING THE PENDENNIS
CAN BASE PANDEMIC THANKS TO THE
LIVE STREAM AND RELATED PUBLIC
ACCESS BE A WEAPON ARE AND
TELEPHONE. I'VE SEEN IT
EXPONENTIAL INCREASE IN
PARTICIPATION BECAUSE WE ALLOW
REMOTE PARTICIPATION THROUGH
OPTIONS LIKE BEER WHICH HAS
BEEN CRITICAL AND ENGAGING
PARENTS. AND DISCUSSING REMOTE
EDUCATION AND THE SAME PRE
OPENING UP OUR SCHOOL. I'VE
ALSO HEARD FEEDBACK ABOUT HOW
THE PUBLIC HAS SEEN A LOT OF
DOORS OPEN FOR THEM TO ENGAGE
YOU PHYSICALLY AND MAKE THEIR
VOICES HEARD THANK YOU BYE I
REALLY HOPE YOU CONTINUE
OFFERING VIRTUAL PARTICIPATION
IN BOARD MEETINGS BECAUSE I
CAN'T ATTEND IN PERSON. AND
BEING ABLE TO ATTEND MEETINGS
VIRTUALLY HAS HELPED ME BE
BETTER INFORMED ABOUT THE
GOINGS ON IN THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT. I KNOW A LOT OF LOCAL
AGENCIES ARE CONCERNED ABOUT
THE COST OF IMPLEMENTATION. BUT
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT
WE'VE ALREADY FOUND WAYS TO
IMPLEMENT TECHNOLOGY. AND THE
INCREASED AVENUES OF
PARTICIPATION ARE WELL WORTH
THAT. I'M DELIGHTED OFFICIALS
WE SHOULD ALWAYS BE LOOKING FOR
WAYS TO INCREASE OUR OUTREACH
AND ENGAGEMENT WITH MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC. AND THIS BILL IS A
GREAT STEP IN THAT DIRECTION. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR ALL
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE TO
SUPPORT THE BILL. AND THE
AUTHORS MISSION FOR INCREASING
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU MISLI ROMAN MISTER SNYDER.
GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I'M
DAVID SNYDER AND I'M THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE FIRST
AMENDMENT COALITION WE ADVOCATE
FOR FREE SPEECH OPENING IT OPEN
AND ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNMENT AND
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION CIVIC
AFFAIRS WE HELP JOURNALISTS
ACTIVISTS ACADEMICS AND MANY
OTHERS ACCESS THE GOVERNMENT
AND WE DO SO BY PROVIDING
EDUCATION. ONE ON ONE LEGAL
COUNSELING LITIGATION AND MORE
WE ARE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF
EIGHTY THREE THREE NINE WE
BELIEVE IN THE HEALTH OF ANY
DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON THE
ABILITY OF THE PEOPLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN OUR DEMOCRACY TO
OBSERVE IN INTERACT EACH
ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS
HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD. AT
LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEVEL THIS
MEANS BEING ABLE TO SEE YOU IN
HERE IMPORTANTLY TO SPEAK AT
PUBLIC MEETINGS IN REAL TIME
BEING ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN
PUBLIC MEETINGS USED TO MEAN
HAVING TO RANGE CHILDCARE TAKE
TIME OFF WORK GETTING A RIDEOR
PAYING FOR TRANSIT TRAVELING
LONG DISTANCES WITHIN RURAL
COMMUNITIES OR WORSE BEING ABLE
UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE DUE TO
HEALTH CONCERNS OR DISABILITY.
THAT'S A BURDEN SO HIGH THAT IT
MADE MEANINGFUL PARTICIPATION
OUT OF REACH FOR FAR TOO MANY
ANALYSTS GOVERNMENT'S FREE TO
MAKE. DECISIONS WITHOUT INPUT
FROM THE COMMUNITY. THERE'S ONE
SO LINING FROM PANDEMIC IT IS
AN AXIS TO GOVERNMENT DECISION
MAKING BECAME AVAILABLE TO A
BROADER RANGE OF PEOPLE THAT
WAS BEFORE. EIGHTY THREE THREE
NINE WOULD ENSURE THESE GAMES
ARE NOT LOST FOR CITY COUNCIL
AND COUNTY BOARD SUPERVISOR
MEETINGS. IN JURISDICTIONS WITH
POPULATIONS OVER TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND. IT WOULD
REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE
CONSTITUENTS OF EITHER CALL IN
OR INTERFACE INTERNET BASED
OPTION FOR PARTICIPATION. FOR
THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF
AGENCIES DEMONSTRATED THAT THEY
COULD PROVIDE THIS KIND OF
ACCESS LOCAL DEMOCRACY IN
CALIFORNIA DEPENDS ON
TRANSPARENCY FOR ITSELF. IT'S
WHY ABILITY PARTICULARLY TO
SERVE THE PEOPLE OF OUR STATE
AND SO THE FIRST AMENDMENT
COALITION URGES THE COMMITTEE
TO ENSURE THIS LEVEL OF ACCESS
IS MAINTAINED AS PROVIDED.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT

CONCERNS- PUT IT ON BEHALF OF
THE AGENCIES THAT WOULD BE
AFFECTED. WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED
THAT THERE ARE WAYS TO- YOU CAN
GAUGE THE PUBLIC MORE
EFFECTIVELY GIVEN THE EXECUTIVE
ORDERS THAT INCLUDE SOME SOME
OF THE RESTRICTIONS OF THE
BROWN ACT I WOULD NOTE THAT NOT
ALL OF THOSE. LISTINGS ARE IN
THE FIELD ONLY THE REQUIREMENT-
THAT MEETINGS START REMOTE
PARTICIPATION BE MADE OPENTO
THE PUBLIC SO IMAGINE. IF YOU
WILL- HEARING THAT GOES LATE

MINUTES OF TIME WORRIED THAT
WITHOUT THAT KIND OF-
FLEXIBILITY WELL WHICH WE- DO
ENJOY UNDER THE EXECUTIVE
ORDERS. AT LOCAL GOVERNMENT

AND I HAVE NO ONE ELSE IN THE
QUEUE AT THIS TIME ON THE PHONE
PLEASE ALL WRITING YOU THANK
YOU- LET'S BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE- QUESTIONS SITTING
YES- JONES. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR A SWIMMINGLY. I'M I'M
INTRIGUED BY A COUPLE OF
ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL THAT I AGREE WITH- I DO
BELIEVE THAT- HAVING THIS
ABILITY TO ACCESS OUR MEETINGS
HAS. INCREASED DEMOCRACY IN
CALIFORNIA FOR SURE SO I HAVE
ONE QUESTION AND ONE CONCERN
THAT MAYBE YOU COULD DRESS- WHY
THE TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND-
NUMBER- WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT
ACROSS THE BOARD. AND THEN
NUMBER TWO I NOTICED THAT YOU
TOOK. AMENDMENTS AT SOME POINT
IN TIME THAT REMOVED- THE
STATE. LEGISLATURE AND THE
STATE AGENCIES FROM THE SAME
REQUIREMENT- WHY EXEMPT WHAT
RIGHT WHY REQUIRE THIS ON
LOCALITIES BUT NOT THE STATE
PLAN I THINK THE ARGUMENT CAN
BE MADE. SACRAMENTO AND
WHEREVER THE STATE AGENCIES
MEET IS ACTUALLY HARDER TO GET
TO. THEN THE LOCALITIES THAT
WERE REQUIRING- THESE EFFORTS
ON. THANK YOU SIR JOHN'S I
THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY GREAT
QUESTION WHEN I BEGAN THE BILL
IT DID APPLY TO ALMOST EVERY
AGENCY AND BODY INCLUDING US IN
THE STATE LEGISLATURE- BUT-
GOING TO IT IS A PROCESS I
CERTAINLY HAD TO TAKE
AMENDMENTS THAT I DID NOT
ENVISION TAKING. WHEN WE
ARRIVED AT THIS THRESHOLD FOR
LARGE COUNTIES IN LARGE CITIES-
NOT IDEAL BUT I DO AGREE WITH
YOU I THINK IT SHOULD BE
APPLICABLE IN FACT ACTUALLY
ADMINISTRATION HAS A TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGEOUT THERE FOR
STATE AGENCIES RIGHT NOW. I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW OUR
HOUSES WILL CONCUR WITH THAT
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY CERTAINLY
SOMETHING I'M INTERESTED IN AND
BECAUSE THIS BILL HAS A SUNSET
IN TWENTY EIGHT DECEMBER OF
TWENTY TWENTY THREE THIS IS AN
ISSUE WE'RE GONNA KEEP WORKING
ON. SHOULD THE GOVERNOR SIGNED-IT BUT I DO AGREE WITH YOU THAT
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AS
EXPENSIVE AS POSSIBLE. YOU'RE
IN YOUR INITIAL. A PROPOSAL
WHEN YOU STARTED THE BILL WHAT
IT DIDN'T HAVE THE TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR LIMIT. OF
TWENTY THREE THOUSAND PEOPLE. I
GOT TO READ DOES NOT. TURN
FIFTY THOUSAND PEOPLE IT DIDN'T
HAVE THAT LIMIT. OKAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR JOHNSON A COUPLE
EURO. MISTER CHAIR- I THINK
MIKE MY QUESTION HAS TO DO
WITH- WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE
OF A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM IS
IT THAT. THE THE BOARD OR THE
COUNCIL HAS TO IMMEDIATELY
CEASE THE MEETING AND- AND
RESCHEDULE IT. I HEARD OF THAT
CONCERN VIA THE OPPOSITION BUT
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT CONCERN
I MEAN IT'S THE SAME CASE IF
YOU'RE HAVING A PUBLIC MEETING
IN THE ALL THE POWER WENT OFF.
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT
CONSTITUTES A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN
OF THE MEETING I DON'T KNOW IF
MY WITNESS FROM THE FIRST OF A
COLLISION WITH THE COMMENT ON
THAT BUT I DON'T. READ A SUCH.
AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT. WELL
I AM CERTAINLY WILLING TO
LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR- EX. EXPERT
HAS TO SAY BUT- THE BROWN ACT
REQUIRES. ACCESS AND IF YOU IF
FOR SOME REASON YOU HAVE A
FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM YOU HAVE
SOMEBODY THAT DISRUPTS- A GROUP
OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO
CALL IN AND TOTALLY DISRUPT THE
MEETING I MEAN I WHAT WHAT
HAPPENED IN OUR CITY IS WHEN
PEOPLE SHOWED UP AND THEY
DISRUPTED THE MEETING. WE
RECESS UNTIL WE CAN GET CONTROL
OF THE MEETING BACK AGAIN AND
IF WE COULDN'T CONTINUE BECAUSE
THERE WAS TOO MUCH OF A
DISRUPTION WE HAD TO. CANCEL
THE REST OF THE MEETING AND
LEAVE WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT
THANKFULLY BUT I AM. I LIKE TO
BUILD. THE CONCERN I HAVE IS
THAT THERE ARE. THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF WAYS THAT A SYSTEM
CAN FAIL. AND IF IT MEANS THAT
THE MEETING HAS TO BE CANCELED
THEN YOU END UP WITH TIMELINE
CONSTRAINTS THAT REQUIRE YOU TO
DO THINGS BY A CERTAIN DATE
LIKE PASS A BUDGET BY A CERTAIN
DATE- POOR FINISH- IF YOU'RE
DOING BOND WORK THERE'S USUALLY
DEADLINES THAT ARE INVOLVED
WITH THAT. THEY'RE JUST A LOT
OF TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT COULD
ARISE AND FOR US TO TELL LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. AND FRANKLY I DON'T
HAVE VERY MANY I HAVE NO CITIES.
BUT A COUPLE OF COUNTIES IF
THIS WOULD APPLY TO- THAT. SO
TO A CERTAIN EXTENT IT IT
DOESN'T APPLY IN MY AREA BUT I
AM CONCERNED WITH THAT WITH THE
CONSTRAINTS. THAT DISAPPEARS TO
PUT. ON LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
PARTICIPATION AND IT'S FOR THE
NEXT TWO AND A HALF YEARS. AND
TO THE EXTENT THAT WERE THROUGH
WITH COVERT- I JUST WORRY ABOUT
THAT TIMELINE AND I WORRY
ABOUT. BURDENING IS THAT IT AND
NOT HAVING A AN ESCAPE HATCH.
OR IF YOUR LINE GOES AND I AND
I AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT
IN RURAL CALIFORNIA. THIS
ACCESS IS ILLUSORY. BECAUSE I
HAVE PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO MOVE
GO OVER TO A PARK. OR A LIBRARY
IN ORDER TO GET INTERNET
ACCESS. AND SO IT'S IT MAY WORK
IN- BRILL URBANIZED CENTERS BUT
IT IT DOESN'T WORK QUITE AS
WELL IN RURAL COMMUNITIES WHERE
INTERNET ACCESS IS. IS NOT
AVAILABLE SO I AM CONCERNED
WITH THE- END RESULT AND
BECAUSE OF THAT I PROBABLY
WON'T END UP SUPPORTING IT
TODAY. UNLESS I GET AN
ASSURANCE THAT THERE WILL BE AN
ESCAPE HATCH FOR THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT- BUT FOR SOME
REASON LOSE ACCESS TO THEIR
INTERNET THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE
WITH THEIR MEETING AND- AND
TELL PEOPLE YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO COME DOWN TO THE
COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO
PARTICIPATE. THE SENATE CAREER
I THINK YOU BRING UP THREE GOOD
POINTS- THE FIRST I'LL JUST SAY
ABOUT THE DISRUPTION IS YOU
KNOW I THINK BECAUSE WE'VE
EXPERIENCED HERE IT'S MUCH
EASIER TO CONTROL MAYBE A
HUNDRED ROWDY GUESTS-
VIRTUALLY. THAT A HUNDRED ROWDY
GUESTS IN YOUR CHAMBER SURFACE
GIVEN DOWN TO THE OPTION OF.
ONE OR THE OTHER I THINK WE
BUSINESS'S SAKE CHOOSE TO HAVE
A VIRTUAL OPTION. AND IT'S
AGAIN REMEMBER IS HAVING
ADDITIONAL THE OPTION OF
TELEPHONIC. OR VIRTUAL SO
PEOPLE IN RURAL COUNTIES WHICH
OF COURSE WE HAVE A REAL
DIGITAL VIBE WHICH IS A REAL
PROBLEM- STILL PEOPLE HAVE THE
OPTION TO CALL IN OR- ZOOM IN
OR WHATEVER ONLINE PLATFORM
JURISDICTION CHOOSES TO DO SO.
SO I'M HOPING THAT RATHER THAN
HAVING TO DRIVE TO YOUR SKIN
YOU SEE. IN A RURAL DISTRICT
IT'S MUCH EASIER TO SAY DRIVE
TO PARK OR GET ON THE PHONE AND
CALL IN A PRESCRIPTION. FOR
YOUR FIVE MINUTES OF PUBLIC
TESTIMONY PROBABLY MORE. MORE
EFFICIENT AND THEN I WOULD SAY
THE THIRD THING TO THAT POINT
IS. TO MY KNOWLEDGE DURING THE
YEAR PLUS THEM ENDEMIC I DON'T
KNOW OF ANY JURISDICTION WHICH-
AND KEEP IN MIND. YOU NEVER IT
HAS UNIVERSAL EXISTED BEYOND OR
SIX JUST TO UNDER FIFTY
THOUSAND. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY
FAILURES AND OUTAGES THAT EVER
EXISTED. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT
IN THE CASE OF THIS JUST BEING
EDITION WITH THAT ALSO EXISTS
SO I. I GENERALLY DON'T KNOW IF
THAT HAS ALSO BEEN A PROBLEM
BUT I'VE NOT HEARD OF THIS IS
AN ISSUE. AND I WOULD AM
ASSUMING THAT YOU KNOW WITH A
MODERN TECHNOLOGY MODERN. POWER
GRIDTHAT I THINK WE WOULD BE
PRETTY DURABLE WITH OUR-
TELEPHONIC AND DIGITAL SYSTEM
SO I'M I'M SAYING THAT. I JUST
DON'T THINK IT NECESSARILY IN
REALITY IT'S GOING TO BE AS
DESTRUCTIVE AS IT IS- YEAH. BUT
THIS WOULD BE A GREAT ADDITION
FOR RURAL AND URBAN COUNTIES
LIKE TO HAVE MORE MORE. OPTIONS
ULTIMATELY. YOU CAN. PLEASE
CHAIRMAN I MIGHT. ALL RIGHT MY
BIGGEST ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH
WHETHER YOU PUT THIS IN THE
BROWN ACT. SUCH THAT IT IS
REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED BY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. AND AS A
CONDITION OF THE BROWN ACT THAT
IF. THERE'S ANY PROBLEM WITH
THE SERVICE. THAT THEY HAVE TO
TERMINATE THE MEETING THAT'S MY
ISSUE. ON WHETHER YOU AGREE
WITH WHETHER IT'S- A- PHONE
LINES AND- INTERNET IS. IS
FAULTY IN RURAL CALIFORNIA. I
MEAN I DID COME OUT AND I'LL
SHOW YOU HOW IT'S FAULTY BUT-
BUT THE REAL ISSUE HAS TO DO
WITH. THE BROWN ACT
REQUIREMENTS REQUIRE CERTAIN
THINGS AND IF THIS IS IN THE
BROWN ACT AND MY READING OF IT.
IS SUCH THAT YOU'D HAVE TO STOP.
YOUR MEETING IF YOU HAVE A
FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM AND IF
I'M WRONG THAT'S THE QUESTION
IS AM I WRONG. IF IT NOBODY CAN
TELL ME THEN I'M NOT GING TO
SUPPORT IT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO PUT LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN THAT
POSITION SO THAT'S THAT'S THE
ONE ISSUE THAT I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT. SORRY THANK YOU- SEVERAL
MEMBERS LEADING CARRIERS FONT.
OR IN YOUR CLOTHES AND CLOTHES.
ARE ALWAYS ON MY CLOTHES RIGHT.
IN YOUR CLOSER NOW- IN MY
CLOTHES ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT A
SINISTER. THANK YOU MR- THANK
YOU SENATOR FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD I YOU KNOW I THINK
THROUGH THIS PANDEMIC WE'VE
ACTUALLY FOUND INCREASED
PARTICIPATION IN SOMEONE IN
GOVERNMENT. AND ESPECIALLY FOR
RURAL- CONSTITUENTS FOR FOLKS
FROM SAY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
WHO CAN'T GET UP TO SACRAMENTO.
MMHM EITHER BECAUSE OF A
PANDEMIC OR FRANKLY BECAUSE OF
MANY FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES
THIS PLACE IS INHERENTLY
LIMITING TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T
HAVE THE MEANS EITHER TO HIRE A
LOBBYIST OR TAKE A SOUTHWEST
FLIGHT UP TO SACRAMENTO- I'M
DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE
ORIGINAL VERSION OF YOUR
LEGISLATION- THAT THE STATE
LEGISLATURE FIX OFF IT TO
EXEMPT ITSELF. FROM THIS BILL
AND I THINK I HOPE IT'S NOT A
FATAL FLAW ON THIS BILL BECAUSE
I WANT TO SEE THIS BECOME LAW
BUT- I DON'T THINK THAT
REFLECTS VERY WELL ON ON THIS
BODY- AND I'M I'M I'M PLEASED
THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO HAVE
THIS HEARING RIGHT NOW- IN
ALLOWING REMOTE PARTICIPATION-
NOT FROM MEMBERS BUT CERTAINLY
FROM THE PUBLIC. I THINK IT'S
ENABLED THE GREATER EXPANSION
OF DEMOCRACY AND I HOPE THAT
CONTINUES BUT RIGHT NOW IT'S AT
THE DISCRETION OF OUR
LEADERSHIP I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT
THE IN LAW SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
HAVING ISSUES RETAINING THE
STATE LEGISLATURE'S. ROLE IN
THIS- AND SO YOU'RE LIMITED NOT
JUST A LOCAL GOVERNMENT BUT TO
LARGER LOCAL GOVERNMENTS- SO
ANOTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT.
YOU KNOW THE SMALLER
GOVERNMENTS THE SMALLER CITIES
THE SMALLER COUNTIES THOSE THE
PLACES THAT IT'S EVEN HARDER TO
PARTICIPATE SOMETIMES THOSE
ALSO DISAPPOINTED TO SEE THAT
THAT TWENTY FIFTY THOUSAND
PERSON LIMITATION WAS ADDED
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S ACTUALLY
GONNA HURT- THOSE WITHOUT
ACCESS- I HOPE GOING FORWARD
YOU'LL FIND SOME OPPORTUNITY OR
MAYBE THIS BODY WILL FIND
OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN THIS
MEASURE. I THINK SENATOR JONES
BROUGHT UP VERY IMPORTANT
POINTS AND I THINK THERE'S IT'S
ACTUALLY A REALLY GREAT
OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR SOME BI
PARTISAN- AGREEMENT- I'D ALSO
LIKE TO SEE. THE ELEMENTS OF
THE EXECUTIVE ORDER. THAT ALLOW
FOR MEMBER PARTICIPATION- FROM
IN IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES- TO
PERMIT IT TO PERSIST. BECAUSE I
THINK THAT. YOU KNOW I CREATE
WE DON'T LOSE ANYTHING WHEN I
WAS. QUARANTINING AT HOME
DURING THIS PANDEMIC IN
PARTICIPATING THESE PROCEEDINGS
FROM ZOOM- I HAD EVERY BIT AS
MUCH STANDING AS ANY OTHER
MEMBER. AND I THINK THAT THE
TECHNICAL ISSUES CAN BE SOLVED
HERE SO I HOPE THAT YOU'LL
CONSIDER BOTH SUBJECTING THE
MEMBERS THEMSELVES OF THESE
BODIES NOT JUST THE PUBLIC TO
THIS TO THIS BILL. I HOPE
YOU'LL TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THE
STATE LEGISLATURE AND WHATEVER
WHOEVER IS EXEMPTED US HOPE
THEY RECONSIDER THAT PROVISION.
AND I HAVE TO SAY LASTLY VERY
DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THE URBAN
COUNTIES TESTIMONY IN
OPPOSITION I ASSUME THAT MEANS
INCLUDE MY OWN COUNTY IN LA-
WE'VE WE'VE THRIVED WITH
MAXIMUM PARTICIPATION IN LOS
ANGELES. AND WE'RE
TECHNOLOGICALLY CAPABLE PLACE-
THAT YOU CAN CALL ON THE PHONE
OR YOU CAN ZOOM IN THERE'S ALL
KINDS OF OPTIONSBUT- THAT
RESISTANCE TO ME IS- ALLIES ARE
ARE ARE UNDERLYING- ETHOS IS AS
BOTH THE COUNTY AND- AND AS A
STATE SO. I'LL BE SUPPORTING
THE MEASURE TODAY. RECEIVE YOUR
WORK ON THIS AND I KNOW YOU'RE
SORT OF YOU'RE UP AGAINST
FORCES BIGGER THAN YOURSELF BUT
I HOPE THAT- WE ALL KIND OF
RECONSIDER. OUR TREPIDATION
HERE AND- REALIZE THAT- AS I
SEE MYSELF STREAMING LIVE ON A
SCREEN BUT THERE'S NOTHING THAT
SCARY ABOUT STREAMING PUBLIC
SEARCH PUBLIC PROCEEDINGS LIKE
THIS AND- THIS IS FRANKLY THE
FUTURE. SO. ALTHOUGH I'VE MOVED
THE BILL AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME. ALL RIGHTY- OTHER
COMMENTS QUESTIONS YES THERE
WERE KELSEY. LISTEN TO MY
COLLEAGUES WERE STUCK WITH THE
FACT THAT THE ASSEMBLY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT PUT A 210050% CAP ON
IT BECAUSE OF I GUESS POTENTIAL
FINANCIAL BURDEN SOME OF THIS
MANDATE OULD HAVE A SMALLER
COMMUNITIES BUT WE HAVE A TWO
YEAR SON SAID IN THAT ALLOWS US
THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ASSESS THIS
POPULATION FLOOR. AND ALSO THE
BILLS OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS AND
I GUESS WE'LL HAVE INFORMATION
HOW PEOPLE. WILL DO IT WILL
PARTICIPATE HOW. THIS IS THE
AUTHOR OF ANY IDEA OF HOW WE
WILL ASSESS THE POPULATION
FLOOR IF WE DON'T HAVE ANY HERE
TO REMOTE HEARINGS GOING ON IN
THESE SALLER COMMUNITIES LESS
THAN TWO HUNDRED FIFTY. HAVE
THERE WERE SOMETHING THAT THE
ASSEMBLY. WHEN THEY PUT THE
AMENDMENT ON YOU THAT'S AN
EXCELLENT POINT SENATOR AND I
VALUE I APPRECIATE THE POINT-
YES YOU KNOW NOTHING IN THIS
BILL OR EVEN EXISTING LAW NOW
PRECLUDES JURISDICTIONS OF ANY
SIZE OR TYPE FROM HAVING THE
REMOTE OPTION I KNOW
ANECDOTALLY EVEN FROM OUR
DISTRICT THERE WILL BE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN THE SMALL CITY
THAT CONTINUE TO INTEGRATE.
ONLINE OR VIRTUAL POSITIONS
SOME FORM SO YES THE ACCESSING
OF THE DATA WILL PROBABLY NOT
BE A PERFECT COMPARISON BUT THE
LITTLE HOOVER COMMISSION
ACTUALLY DID A REPORT I THINK
LAST WEEK. AND THEY ALSO DID
TALK ABOUT HOW THE ECSTASY OF
VIRTUAL MEETINGS ALSO EXPANDED
ACCESS SO I THINK THERE WILL BE
MORE DATA POINTS I THINK SO
LONG AS THEY WERE STILL LIVING
IN THIS CURRENT SAID EMERGENCE
WE SEE IF WE STILL AT LEAST
HAVE THAT DATA POINT WHERE.
IT'S MORE UNIVERSAL VIRTUAL
VIRTUAL POSITION. AND THEN
THERE'S THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN
AN EMERGENCY MORE HAVE A COVERT
HEALTH SITUATION AND THEN WHEN
WE DON'T WE JUST GO ON AND WE
DO THIS. AND I WHEN I WAS IN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT I HAD SOME
ISSUES WITH THE BROWN ACT
PARTICULARLY WHEN. NOW I THINK
WE'RE MORE SOPHISTICATED WHEN
WE POST IF A MEMBER IS GOING TO
PARTICIPATE TELECOMMUNICATION
OR TELEPHONE NOT TELEPHONICALLY
REMOTELY. WE NOTICE IT THE
PERSON IN THEIR HOTEL ROOM HAS
TO PUT A SIGN UP THAT SAYS I'M
PARTICIPATING THIS LITTLE CITY
COUNCIL MEETING AND THEN THE
PUBLIC IS ABLE TO GO IN. TO
YOUR ROOM SINCE IT'S NOW AN
OFFICIAL AREA AND I'M WONDERING
IF WE MAKE A DISTINCTION
BETWEEN I MEAN. IF WE HAVE A
HEALTH. PROBLEM OR HEALTH- I.
WHY IN THE WORLD SOMEBODY COULD
COME INTO MY HOUSE SO I GUESS
IF I WAS PARTICIPATING I JUST
WOULD ASK THAT YOU LOOK AT THAT
BECAUSE IT WASN'T CLEAR TO ME
IF THAT LITTLE WRINKLE
CONTINUES AND IT WAS ONE OF
THOSE THINGS AS WE GO INTO THE
BROWN ACT HE THINKING AS WE'RE
MORE SOPHISTICATED NOW THAT
SEEMS STRANGE THAT WE WOULD
STILL DO THAT IT'S NOT NINETEEN
EIGHTY EIGHT ANYMORE SO I'LL
JUST. LEAVE THAT AS A
pRHETORICAL QUESTION FOR THE
AUTHOR AND I'LL JUST SAY YOU
KNOW AND TO YOUR POINT SENATOR
AND SENATOR STARNES POINT I
THINK THERE IS MUCH TO BE
MODERNIZING THE BROWN ACT
EXECUTIVE ORDER BY THE GOVERNOR
WAS MODERNIZATIONS DEPEND OF
COURSE FOR THE PUBLIC AND THE
OFFICIAL SIDE AND I INTEND TO
KEEP WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT- CONSTITUENCIES TO
KEEP MODERNIZING THAT HOPEFULLY
WE WILL SEE SOME SORT OF CHANGE
ON THAT FRONT. THE SORRY.
FURTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS
SAYING NONE OF THEIR MOTION. OH
I'M SORRY CENTER MORICHES.
THANK YOU CHAIR. THIS IS A
GREAT CONVERSATION I'VE LEARNED
A LOT FROM MY COLLEAGUES- IN
THE COURSE OF- I WAS REVIEWING
THIS MATTER HAVING SERVED IN. A
CITY COUNCIL AS WELL AS A-
SUPERVISOR OREO CAPACITY- THE
BROWN ACT IS A VERY REAL- SET
OF OBLIGATIONS. AND NOT ONLY IS
A VIOLATION. READ HAVOC IN
CONSEQUENCE OF FOR THE BODY IT
CAN ALSO UNDO ALL OF THE POLICY
OR LEGISLATION OR DECISION
MAKING THAT WAS DONE BY THAT
BOARD THE CONSEQUENCES ARE VERY
SIGNIFICANT IN EXPECTATION
OBLIGATIONS ARE VERY REAL- I
AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE THAT I
THINK. WE SHOULD HAVE THIS
ATTACHED TO THE STATE
LEGISLATURE IN TWO BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS IF WE'RE GOING TO
DO IT IRRESPECTIVE OF THE SIZE
OF THE CITY. NOW WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT TECHNOLOGICAL. ISSUES
TECH ISSUES THAT CALIFORNIA
SHOULD BE IN A POSITION IF IT
CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL OR AT THE COUNTY
LEVEL THE STEP IN AND PROVIDE
THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AND
POSSIBLY EVEN THE EQUIPMENT
SPECIALLY IN THESE RURAL.
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE
RELATIVELY SMALL BUDGETS SO I
GUESS AS I'VE HEARD MY COMMENT
READ THE COMMENTS FROM MY
COLLEAGUES ESPECIALLY GREW WITH
THE IDEA THAT INDIVIDUALS NOT
JUST FROM THE PUBLIC BUT THOSE
WHO SERVE ON A BOARD OR
COMMISSION FOR A MUNICIPALITY
OR COUNTY BE IN A POSITION TO
PARTICIPATE AS WELL. BUT UNLESS
YOU FIGURE OUT HOW THE BROWN
ACT. THE UPON THIS IN THE
CONSEQUENCES OF IT. MY CONCERN
IS THAT. WE COULD BE OPENING UP
A PANDORA'S BOX WITHOUT ANY
REAL- SOLUTIONS. AT OUR
DISPOSAL SO I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY YOU KNOW JUST
THROW THIS OUT FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION. WOULD THIS NOT
BE A SITUATION THAT. MORE CAN
BE DONE TO SEE IF WHETHER THEY
BE- MORE SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONS
TO THE LEGISLATION AS WELL AS A
BETTER ON THE SET OF
DISCUSSIONS THROUGH BOTH
HOUSES. TO BRING EVERYONE EXIT
SIDE THIS HAS THE THIS HAS THE
KERNEL OF A SIGNIFICANT
BROWNBACK REFORM ACT. MAYBE
MAKE THIS A TWO YEAR BILL. IS
WHAT I'M ULTIMATELY GOING TO
THROW OUT THERE BECAUSE IF WE
CAN ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS
RIGHT NOW WE'RE IN THE FINAL.
COMMITTEE COMMITTEE OF THIS
HOUSE THIS IS GOING TO A FLOOR
VOTE IF IT PASSES TODAY AND
IT'S MOVING FORWARD. I MEAN SO
THIS IS I DON'T THINK THE RIGHT
AND THE MISSILE IN THE RIGHT
PLACE FOR US TO BE THROWING OUT
TRULY SUBSTANTIVE. ABSENCES IN
THIS BILL BECAUSE IT IS
MERITORIOUS I WANT TO GIVE YOU
ABSOLUTE CREDIT. AS A FORMER
LOCAL OFFICIAL THESE ARE THE
THINGS THAT WE SHOULD BE
THINKING ABOUT ESPECIALLY
LEARNING LESSONS FROM THE
PANDEMIC. I THINK MORE TIME FOR
THIS BILL WOULD MAKE IT EVEN
BETTER. I'LL JUST SAY SENATOR-
THE I HAVE LISTING THE
CONVERSATION TODAY SOMETIMES I
WISH I WAS ABLE TO START MY
BILL IN THIS COMMITTEE OR THIS
HOUSE- BUT I'D APPRECIATE ALL
YOU DO IS YES I'M FOR IT BUT
SINCE THIS IS HAS A SUNSET OF
DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY THREE IN
EFFECT YOU KNOW WE WILL BE BACK
HERE AGAIN NEXT YEAR. IF THE
BILL IS SIGNED- AND WE WILL
KEEP WORKING AT IT AND I DO
BELIEVE IT IS THE CEILING OF A
GREATER PRODUCT REFORM
HOPEFULLY IS I THINK TO MY
KNOWLEDGE ONE OF THE FEW BROWN
ACTIVE REFORM BILLS THAT EXISTS
RIGHT NOW AND- WE'RE HOPING TO
KEEP ENGAGING ALL STAKEHOLDERS
LOCAL GOV AD ACTIVISTS ALL
WHOLE LIFE FOR DOWNSTATE.

ALL OF THEIR CONCERNS I BELIEVE
WE WERE ABLE TO ADDRESS THE
MAJORITY OF THEIR PRIVACY
CONCERNS. AND THAT ARE THAT ARE
REFLECTED IN THE AMENDMENTS AND
WE WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN
CONVERSATIONS THROUGHOUT THE
PROCESS IN ADDITION THE
CONCERNS FROM THE CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION- WERE BROUGHT
TO MY ATTENTION LATE LAST WEEK
DUE TO TIME CONSTRAINTS I'M
ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THEM TO
ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS AS THE
MAYOR BILL. MOVES THROUGH THE
PROCESS- EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY
FOUR CONTAINS LANGUAGE TO
SPECIFY THAT THE PROGRAM IS
SUBJECT TO THE CALIFORNIA
CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT AND
PROHIBITS THE SALE OF DATA BY
PARTICIPATING VENDORS IN THE
CASE OF DIGITAL PLATES
CONSUMERS HAVE A CHOICE OF
DEVICES THAT ARE EQUIPPED WITH
GPS OR NOT WITH THE NON GPS
PLATE CARRYING A LOWER PRICE
POINT. EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY FOUR
CARRIES A REQUIREMENT THAT THE
GPS MODEL BE VISUALLY
DISTINGUISHED FROM THE NON GPS
VERSION DIGITAL PLATES ARE NOT
MANDATORY AND SHOULD THE DEVICE
FAILED THE VENDOR IS OBLIGATED
TO REPLACE IT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. SO NOW I'LL TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE HISTORY
OF. OF THESE PROGRAMS IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN S. B. EIGHT OH SIX
AUTHORIZE THE DMV TO CREATE A
PILOT PROGRAM FOR VEHICLE
REGISTRATION ALTERNATIVES AND
REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE ON
THE RESULTS OF THIS PILOT
PROGRAM THE PILOT PROGRAM
ALLOWED SPECIALTY PLATE OWNERS.
TO RENEW THE REGISTRATION
ELECTRONICALLY THROUGH DIGITAL
LICENSE PLATES AND ALLOWED
INDIVIDUALS TO ACCESS THE
REGISTRATION INFORMATION. FROM
THE LICENSE PLATES APP
ESTABLISHED BY THE PROVIDER.
THIS PILOT PROGRAM FOUND THAT
THESE ALTERNATIVE REGISTRATION.
IMPROVED EFFICIENCY AT THE DMV
BY ALLOWING SPECIALTY PLATE
OWNERS TO RENEW THE
REGISTRATION VIA AN MOBILE APP
RATHER THAN HAVING TO GO INTO
THE DMV. EIGHTY NINE EIGHTY
FOUR WILL IMPLEMENT THE
FINDINGS FOR THE VEHICLE
REGISTRATION ALTERNATIVE PILOT
PROGRAM BY AUTHORIZING THE DMB
IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CHP. TO
DEVELOP REGULATIONS AND MOVE
FORWARD WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF
ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION CARDS
DIGITAL LICENSE PLATES AND
LICENSE PLATE WRAPS. TODAY TO
PROVIDE TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL I HAVE GYM LIGHTS

PROTECTION PROVISIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN ADDED TO THE BILL THROUGH
A SERIES OF AMENDMENTS ARE
ABSOLUTELY MANAGEABLE FOR US AS
A VENDOR THAT ALLOWS US TO
CARRY FORWARD WITH THE PROGRAM
AS THE DMV WOULD BE
IMPLEMENTED. WHILE PROVIDING
MULTIPLE LEVELS OF PROTECTION
FOR CONSUMERS AND I JUST WANTED
TO INSURE THAT THE COMMITTEE
KNOWS- THIS IS- THE DIGITAL
LICENSE PLATE TECHNOLOGY WAS
INVENTED BY AND THE COMPANY WAS
FOUNDED BY- CALIFORNIA AFRICAN
AMERICAN ENTREPRENEURS SO WHEN
IT COMES TO SURVEILLANCE AND
TRACKING CONCERNS WE'RE

ALL RIGHT LET'S BRING IT BACK
TO THE CHAMBER I SEES THAT HER
SPURS MIKE'S UP AND HE'S
STANDING. MUST BE IMPORTANT IN
HER SPORT. INDEED IT IS MISTER
CHAIRMAN BECAUSE I WANT TO
ADDRESS THE POINTS THAT WERE
RAISED BY THE OPPOSITION IN THE
LATE OPPOSITION HERE BECAUSE
ICE WE SPENT HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF HOURS
GOING THROUGH THE DETAILS ON A.
B. THREE SEVENTY FIVE IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. AND ALSO
WITH RESPECT TO PROPOSITION
TWENTY FOUR WHEN WAS THE CCPA
THE ONE C. P. R. A. PROPOSITION
TWENTY FOUR WHICH WAS APPROVED
BY THE VOTERS. WE SPENT
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS CONSULTING
LABOR LAWYERS. TO DEAL WITH THE
PRECISE ISSUE THAT WAS
DISCUSSED. THE DEFINITION IN
THE C. P. R. A. WHICH IS
PROPOSITION TWENTY FOUR WHICH
WILL SOON BE THE LAW OF THE
LAND. IS THAT YOUR GEO LOCATION
IS SENSITIVE PERSONAL
INFORMATION. SENSITIVE PERSONAL
INFORMATION IS DEFINING YOUR
GEO LOCATION IS ANYWHERE WITHIN
TWO OR FIFTY YARDS THEY CANNOT
PINPOINT YOU. THAT MEANS THAT
IF YOU ORGANIZING FROM A LABOUR
POINT OF VIEW AND SOMEONE WANTS
TO FOLLOW YOU IN TRACK YOU THEY
CAN'T. BE SUBJECT TO INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF AND PENALTIES IT MEANS
THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO A
CLINIC TO DEAL WITH THE HEALTH
CARE PROBLEM ORDER BOOK CLUB OF
YOUR PARTICULAR SEXUAL
ORIENTATION YOU CAN'T BE
TRACKED IT IS DEFINED AS YOUR
SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION.
THE UNDERLYING ISSUES EXPRESSED
BY EACH OF THOSE THAT
ARTICULATED THEIR OPPOSITION TO
THIS MATTER HAVE BEEN TAKEN
CARE IN OUR PART OF THE LAW. TO
THE EXTENT THAT THIS MEASURE
EVER BECOMES LAW IT WILL ALWAYS
BE SUBJECT TO. TITLE TO I MEAN
PROPOSITION TWENTY FOUR WHICH
CAN'T BE AMENDED OUTSIDE OF
PROTECTING CONSUMERS. AT
BRIGHTS AND PRIVACY RIGHTS AS
SET FORTH IN SECTION THREE OF
THE MEASURE. SO I WOULD SUGGEST
THAT THOSE WHO. PUT THEIR LATE
OPPOSITION TO TAKE A DEEP DIVE.
INTO THE HOMEWORK THAT WE DID
IN PUTTING THIS TOGETHER
BECAUSE THE CONCERNS THAT THEY
RAISED- WHICH I RESPECT
TREMENDOUSLY. AND THINK THEY'RE
A 100% RIGHT. HAVE BEEN
COMPLETELY DIRECTED TO AND ARE
NOT IMPACTED BY THIS
LEGISLATION BECAUSE WE HAVE
ALREADY PROTECTED THAT IN TERMS
OF DEFINING. YOUR GEOLOCATION
SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION.
AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN USE
SENSITIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION.
UNDER THE LAW IS IF IT'S
SPECIFICALLY APPROVED BY THE
INDIVIDUAL WHO ALLOWS
THEMSELVES TO. TO PROVIDE THAT
IF THEY PROVIDE THAT THEY HAVE
THE RIGHT SUBSEQUENTLY. TO
REMOVE THEIR APPROVAL- AND
THERE'S A SPECIFIC PROCESS TO
DO SO WELL I COMPLETELY AGREE
WITH THE SENSITIVITY IS
REFLECTED. I WOULD SUGGEST AND
I ONLY DO SO BECAUSE I'VE PUT
JUST AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME
IN. PROTECTING EXACTLY WHAT
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT AND SO I
DON'T THINK THAT THE CHALLENGE
THE RACE THIS LATE TIME AT ALL
IMPACT THIS LEGISLATION ANYWAY.
I OUR LAST YEAR. THANK YOU
OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS IS
THAT YES SENATOR STERN. THANK
YOU MR- VERY IMPORTANT
CLARIFICATION APPRECIATE THAT
FROM- FROM SENATOR HERTZBERG I
JUST WANTED TO SEE IF I GET THE

OF THOSE. INTERIM CONCERNS
BEFORE IT IS VERY IN THAT IN
THAT INTERIM PERIOD BETWEEN THE
WIN WIN CCPA KICKS IN- THE
ANALYSIS SAYS THAT- THE
EXEMPTION EXPIRES AS OF JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY THREE SO IT
SEEMS LIKE WE'VE GOT A- YEAR
AND A HALF OR MAYBE A YEAR.
PERIOD WHERE THE TRACKING WOULD
BE ALLOWED- AND THEN WHEN THOSE
IN IN THOSE PROVISIONS WOULD
KICK IN. THEN IN JANUARY FIRST
TWENTY TWENTY THREE SO. I JUST
WANT TO SEE IF WE CAN GET SOME
JUST A RESPONSE TO I GUESS THE
LABOR FEDERATION'S CONCERNS ON
THAT IN TERMS THAT THAT ONE
YEAR PERIOD IF THERE'S SOME WAY

OPPOSITION BUT I HAD A GREAT
CONVERSATION YESTERDAY. WITH
THEM- AND WE AGREED TO CONTINUE
WORKING TOGETHER ON THEIR
CONCERNS. THANK YOU BUT THERE
STANDING UP WE SUPPORT IN THE-
SORRY- CENTER HERZBERG MOVES
THE BILL I'M SORRY SENATOR
ALSO. OF CLIMBING- IDEA. I
DON'T HAVE THE EXPERTISE THAT
MY COLLEAGUE SENATOR FROM LOS
ANGELES HAS ON THESE ISSUES
AND- I HAVE ENORMOUS RESPECT
FOR. HIS EXPERTISE ON THIS. I
STILL THINK. THAT IT'S WORTH IT
TO RAISE THESE ISSUES. BECAUSE
THE IMPACT THAT HAS ON SO MANY
PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE- AND WE
NEVER KNOW WHEN. AND HOW. THIS
KIND OF INFORMATION CAN BE USED
WITH WORKING PEOPLE SO I'D
RATHER ERR ON THE SIDE OF BEING
MORE CONSERVATIVE. AND FILLING
IN THESE- THESE HOLES THAN NOT
AND WITH THAT I HAVE GREAT
RESPECT FOR THE AUTHOR- AND
WHEN SHE COMMITS TO WORKING ON
THIS I'M SURE SHE WILL AND FOR
THAT REASON. AND UNDERSTANDING
HI ALL THIS IS THE CORE ISSUE.
FOR WORKING PEOPLE HOW
EMPLOYERS AND BUSINESSES DO USE
INFORMATION THAT THEY GET
OUTSIDE OF THE WORKPLACE- YOU
KNOW SOMETIMES AGAINST THEM BUT
WITH THAT AND THOSE ASSURANCES
FROM THE OFFICE AUTHOR I WILL
BE SUPPORTING. PARTY THANK YOU
OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS SEEING
NONE. SEVEN MEMBER REVIEWS DO
YOU CARE TO ADD TO- CENTER
THERE ALSO AND SENATOR
HERTZBERG'S CLOSE I WANT TO
THANK BOTH THE SENATORS FOR
THEIR COMMENTS- AND EDITION OF
COURSE- THE SENATOR. FROM THE
SOUTH WEST SAN FERNANDO VALLEY-
ALL OF THEM- FOR THIS
DISCUSSION I THINK- ITO BASED
ON MY DISCUSSIONS- WITH THE
OPPOSITION THEY HAVE BROUGHT A
LOT OF CONCERNS AND I HAVE
ASSURED THEM. YOU KNOW THAT I
AM FOR PROTECTING WORKERS RIGHT
I AM NOT- I WOULD NEVER
INTRODUCE A BILL THAT WOULD
AFFECT WORKER PROTECTIONS. I
AND YOU KNOW THAT THAT IS I
KNOW THAT THAT THAT'S TRUE I'VE
ACCEPTED SIX OUT OF THE SEVEN
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE REQUESTED
BY THE ACLU PRIOR- TO THIS
COMMITTEE AND MY HOUSE THE ONLY
AMENDMENT THAT I HAVE NOT
ACCEPTED IS TO BAN. THE
MANUFACTURE OF AN ELECTRONIC
PLATE WITH GPS TECHNOLOGY- YOU
KNOW THERE ARE MANY DEVICES-
FOR CARS THAT HAVE GPS
TECHNOLOGY WE PROBABLY ALL HAVE
GPS. IN OUR CARS WHEN I WAS AN
ENGINEER THAT'S WHAT I WORKED
ON I WORKED ON NAVIGATION
SYSTEMS I DESIGNED NAVIGATE
TION SYSTEM. FOR CARS AND SO I
REALLY BELIEVE THAT THIS
TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED
EFFECTIVELY. AND WHILE THERE
ARE MANY PRIVACY CONCERNS OF
THIS BILL DOES CONTAIN LANGUAGE
THAT SPECIFIES THAT THIS
PROGRAM IS SUBJECT TO THE
CALIFORNIA CONSUMER PROTECTION
ACT AND LIKE SENATOR HERTZBERG
MENTIONED- ALL HIS WORK ON THIS
THAT. IS WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN-
YOU KNOW THOUGHT OF IN TERMS OF
WORKER PROTECTIONS ARE JUST NOT
JUST WORKER BUT JUST ANYONE
THAT THAT IS USING ANY TYPE OF
TRACKING DEVICE. R. AND SO-
LIKE BUT I STILL HAVE COMMITTED
TO WORKING- WITH THE OPPOSITION
ON THIS- I FEEL IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT SINCE IT IS. YOU KNOW
THEY ARE BRINGING LEGITIMATE
PRIVACY CONCERNS THAT I AGREE
WITH I WANT TO MAKE SURE. THAT
THEY ARE PART OF THIS BILL OR
IT'S COVERED BY THE PRIVACY
ACT. AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT MONTH
WORKING ON TO MAKE SURE WE'RE
ALL GOING TO WORK ON THIS
TOGETHER. I'M AND SO- AT TODAY
I'M REQUESTING YOUR I. VOTE

AND SENATORS LIKE TO THINK THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR WORK
ON THE ANALYSIS FOR THIS BILL
AND THEIR ENGAGEMENT. AS WE ALL
KNOW LAST YEAR AT THE BEGINNING
OF- THIS COVER NINETY PANDEMIC-
IT WAS GOVERNOR NEWSOM WHO
ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT.
TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED PORTIONS
OF THE BROWN ACT REQUIRING IN
PERSON MEETINGS AND ALLOWING
MEMBERS OF A LOCAL AGENCIES ARE
OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO ATTEND
MEETINGS REMOTELY AND IN THIS
LEGISLATION HERE THIS EVENING.
WHICH HAS A SUNSET DATE OF
JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR. PROPOSES TO ENACT- SOME
SIMILAR- SOME PROVISIONS
ALLOWING BROWN OUT ACT
EXEMPTIONS FOR SOME
TELECONFERENCE MEETINGS- YOU
HAVE A MINUTE ANY FUTURE UP- SO
PRO CLAIM STATE EMERGENCIES IN
WHICH CERTAIN OFFICIALS HAVE
DETERMINED THAT IN PERSON-
MEETINGS. WOULD PRESENT AN
IMMINENT RISK TO THE HEALTH OR
SAFETY OF ATTENDEES AND SO
ADDITIONALLY IN AN EFFORT TO
PRESERVE PUBLIC TRANSPARENCY
THIS BILL ALSO REQUIRES THAT
THE PUBLIC CAN JOIN THESE
MEETINGS VIA PHONE OR VIDEO
CONFERENCE. UNDER THIS BILL
LOCAL AGENCIES WILL NOT HAVE TO
RELY ON AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
THAT TO HOLD FULLY REMOTE
MEETINGS- IF THERE'S AN
UNEXPECTED EMERGENCY EVENT
EMERGENCIES THAT COULD MAKE IT
PERSON MEETINGS VERY DANGEROUS
OR NEAR IMPOSSIBLE- THIS
LEGISLATION HAS ENJOYED BROAD
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT RESPECTFULLY

YOURS. YES MISTER CHAIR THANK
YOU. MY NAME IS MARK MARKET
THAT WEILER I'M LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST WITH THE CALIFORNIA
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION
THE FDA THE SPONSOR OF THE
MEASURE. EIGHTY THREE SIXTY ONE
OF THE NARROWLY CRAFTED
COMMONSENSE MEASURE TO CODIFY
SELECT PORTIONS OF THE
GOVERNOR'S MARCH TWENTY TWENTY
EXECUTIVE ORDERS CONCERNING THE
BROWN ACT IN THE EVENT OF
FUTURE EMERGENCIES WHICH WOULD.
SPECIFICALLY PREVENT PEOPLE
FROM GATHERING IN PERSON. BACK
IN MARCH TWENTY TWENTY THE
GOVERNOR'S ADMINISTRATION
GRANTED TARGETED RELIEF TO
PUBLIC AGENCIES OBLIGATED TO
FOLLOW THE BROWN ACT
RECOGNIZING THAT A SELECT FEW
OF THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
IMPOSED BY THE ACT. WOULD
UNDERMINE EFFORTS TO KEEP
CALIFORNIANS SAFE. THREE SIXTY
ONE SIX TO ALLOW FOR PUBLIC
AGENCIES TO USE THE MODIFIED
BROWN ACTIVE SHOOTERS USED OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. IN THE
EVENT OF A SIMILAR FUTURE
EMERGENCY THAT IS AND I CANNOT
STRESS THIS ENOUGH. AN
EMERGENCY WHICH WOULD PREVENT
PEOPLE FROM. GATHERING IN
PERSON SAFELY. EIGHTY THREE ONE
OF NOT ONLY ABOUT THE PANDEMIC
WHAT ABOUT SUBSTANTIALLY
SIMILAR EMERGENCIES FOR EXAMPLE
THE TWENTY EIGHTEEN CAMPFIRE.
FOR THE CITY OF PARADISE WAS
DESTROYED BY WILDFIRE AND
RENDERED UNSAFE TO MEET WITH
THEM. THE TERMS OF THREE SIXTY
ONE WHAT IF ALLOWED AGENCIES
WITHIN THE CITY LIKE THE
PARADISE YOUR NATION DISTRICT.
TO MEET REMOTELY IN ORDER T
ENSURE THE CONTINUED DELIVERY
AND RESTORATION OF ESSENTIAL
LOCAL SERVICES. IMPORTANTLY
THIS BILL INCLUDES NUMEROUS
SAFEGUARDS TO PROTECT THE
PUBLIC'S RIGHT OF ACCESS. THIS
MODEST MEASURE WAS MADE ALL THE
MORE MODEST Y AMENDMENTS IN
THE SENATE GOVERNANCE AND
FINANCE COMMITTEE. NOW THE
BILL'S TERMS ARE OPERABLE ONLY
IN THE INSTANCES WHERE THE
STATE HAS DECLARED AN EMERGENCY
AS PPOSED TO INCLUDING BOTH
STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY
DECLARATION. THE BILL AS
PREVIOUSLY REFERENCED ALSO HAS
A TWO YEAR SUNSET PROVISION
MANY OF THE BILL'S PROVISIONS
WILL BE SUBJECT TO REFLECTION
AND EXAMINATION IN THE VERY
NEAR TERM. THE EXTENT OF THE
PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO PROVIDE
COMMENTS HAVE BEEN EXPLICITLY
REFERENCED AND PROTECTED WITHIN
THE BILL'S PROVISIONS. AND
TECHNOLOGICAL DISRUPTIONS
ARISING BEFORE OR DURING A
MEETING WHICH PRECLUDE WOULD
PRECLUDE LOCAL AGENCIES FROM
TAKING ACTION WITHOUT HAVING
FIRST RESOLVE THE DESTRUCTION.

CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY NAME IS ON
THE S. ROMMEL'S LEGISLATIVE
COUNCIL WITH PUBLIC AND
BECAUSE- WE ARE RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSED TO TWO EIGHTY THREE
SIXTY ONE UNLESS AMENDED. AS A
NONPROFIT LAW FIRM AND ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATIONS THAT WORKS
CLOSELY WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES
TO CHALLENGE THE SYSTEMIC
CAUSES OF POVERTY AND RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION IN PUBLIC
POLICY. PARTICULARLY IN THE
AREAS OF EDUCATION HOUSING
TRANSPORTATION EQUITY AND
CLIMATE JUSTICE WE KNOW VERY
WELL THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
BROWN ACT IN GUARANTEEING THAT
THE VOICES OF IMPACTED
COMMUNITIES. ESPECIALLY LOW
INCOME AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
ARE. HURTING THE LOCAL DECISION
MAKING PROCESS. THAT'S WHY WE
RECKON THE IMPORTANCE OF
ENSURING THAT THE BUSINESS OF
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN CONTINUE.
IN AN OPEN AND TRANSPARENT
MANNER DURING A STATE OF
EMERGENCY AND WE APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR'S EFFORTS IN THIS AREA.
HOWEVER WE BELIEVE THAT THIS
BILL GOES TOO FAR IN EXEMPTING
LOCALGOVERNMENTS FROM EXISTING
PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS. WHICH MAY
RESULT IN COMMUNITY MEMBERS NOT
BEING ABLE TO FULLY PARTICIPATE
IN THE LOCAL DECISION MAKING
PROCESS FOR OPENING THE DOOR
FOR LOCAL AGENCIES USING
PROVISIONS IN THE BILL. TO
AVOID OUR OBLIGATION TO BE
FULLY PRESENT AND LISTEN TO THE
VOICES OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IS
ESSENTIAL TO PUBLIC POLICY
MAKING. TO THAT AND IT'S
CRITICAL THAT ANY CHANGES TO
THE BROWN ARE YOU SURE ABOUT
ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND IN
PARTICULAR THE DIVERSE
COMMUNITIES WITH WHOM WE WORK.
CAN CONVENIENTLY ACCESS AND
FULLY PARTICIPATE IN PUBLIC
MEETINGS IN AN EQUITABLE
MANNER. AGAIN WE THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR HIS EFFORTS IN THIS
AREA WE KNOW THIS BILL IS WELL
INTENTIONED BUT ARE CONCERNED
THAT IT MAY HAVE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. UNLESS IT'S
AMENDED. FOR THESE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE
ON EIGHTY THREE SIXTY ONE
TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER ROBERTS PRISTINE. THE
MILITARY MEMBERS CAME WHEN DEAN
BUT DEFENDED ADVOCATE WITH ACLU
CALIFORNIA ACTION. AS EXPECTED
THE OFFICE OPENS ON THURS IN
THIS COMMITTEE WE ARE
REGRETTABLY OPPOSE EACH WEEK
ONE LUCKY WOMAN. FATHER GOAL OF
ENSURING THAT PUBLIC AGENCIES.
NEED TO PROVIDE CRITICAL
SERVICES DURING TIMES OF CRISIS
OR EMERGENCY ABSOLUTELY
LAUDABLE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MUST
CONDUCT THE PUBLIC'S BUSINESS.
OPEN AND TRANSPARENT MANNER.
THE LEADING FUNDING FROM.
PUBLIC PROTECTION SHOULD BE
EXTREMELY RARE AND HIGHLY
CERTIFIED. THE PREDICATE FOR
THE LOSER TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY WILL JUST OVER
THE LAST FIFTEEN LAST. FALL BUT
IT REQUIRES THE STATE
DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY SUCH
AS THE ONE WE'VE BEEN UNDER
SINCE MARCH AND WILL CONTINUE
TO BE UNDER FOR SOMETIME IN A
RECOMMENDATION BY A LOCAL
OFFICIAL BUT THERE SHOULD BE
SOME KIND OF SOCIAL DIFFERENT
THINGS I'VE SEEN IN SECTION ONE
SUBDIVISION ONE WAY. EACH TERMS
ARE UNDEFINED UNDEFINED AND
QUITE VAGUE AND WOULD ALLOW
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INVOKE THE
EXCEPTION TO THE BROWN ACT.
WITH VERY LITTLE JUSTIFICATION.
ONE DIRECTION THE X. AXIS
EXCEPTION IS INVOKED THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT COULD CONDUCT
BUSINESS WITHOUT BEING REQUIRED
TO DO SO IN PUBLIC WHICH IS ONE
OF THE KEY REQUIREMENTS OF
DEMOCRACY. UNFORTUNATELY EIGHTY
THREE FOR TWENTY TWO FAR RIGHT
SENDING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM
THE OBLIGATION THE BROWN ACT.
AGAIN TO FIND A LOCATION EACH
TELECONFERENCE OCCASION. IN
FROM THE REQUIREMENT THAT
TELECONFERENCE LOCATIONS BE
ACCEPTABLE TO THE PUBLIC. A
WELL INFORMED AND ENGAGED
COMMUNITY IS CRITICAL TO
BUILDING TRUST AND REBUILDING
BETTER AND THE PUBLIC
ACCESSIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OF
THE BROWN ACT ENSURE THAT ALL
CALIFORNIANS CAN ATTEND
MEETINGS IN PERSON I CAN
DIRECTLY ADDRESSED MEMBERS OF
GOVERNING BODY. WHAT THE
REMOVING THE ABILITY IS
CONTRARY TO THE BASIC TENANTS
OF A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY
AND FOR THESE REASONS PLEASE
TELL YOUR CALIFORNIA ACCENT
IT'S A CODE EIGHTY THREE SIX
ONE. THE NUMBER THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT OTHERS IN

ALL RIGHT- LET'S BRING IT BACK
TO THE CHAMBER I SEE N
MICROPHONES EXCEPT FOR SENATOR
STERN CENTER THERE ALSO IS IN
CENTER GONZALEZ IS MICROPHONE
SENATOR STERN. I SPOKE TO SOON
MISTER CHAIR- OKAY A BRIEF JUST
A BRIEF. COMMENT I GUESS NOT SO
MUCH FOR THE AUTHOR MAYBE MORE
FOR THE SPONSORS OF THE
SUPPORTERS I JUST. CAN'T HELP
BUT NOTE. THE SEEMING
DISCONNECT HERE WE JUST HEARD A
MEASURE TRY TO EXPAND PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION REMOTELY THAT WAS
ROUNDLY OPPOSED BY EVERYONE
SUPPORTING THIS MEASURE
THINKING OF OUR URBAN COUNTIES
AND- VARIOUS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TOURS IN SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE. SO I'M- I'M CURIOUS
FOR- AND MAYBE EXPERT- THE
SPONSORS- IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH
FOR AN EMERGENCY WHY ISN'T IT.
WHY ARE WE ACTUALLY TRYING TO
EXTEND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
UNDER THE SORT OF BROADER
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THE
OPPOSITION- IS ASKING FOR
WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE
RELUCTANCE TO HAVE THOSE PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS OR-
AND- RESOLVE SOME OF THOSE
VAGARIES THAT HAVE BEEN
MENTIONED HERE. I DON'T FOR THE
AUTHOR MAYBE TO. THE SPONSOR ON
THE LINE. I ALL RIGHT SURE THIS
DO YOU CARE TO TAKE THE
QUESTION SURE- YOU KNOW- I DO
HAVE A PATH TO THE SPONSOR ALL
RIGHT. IF YOU LIKE TO WEIGH ON
IT BE GREAT. THE CALIFORNIA
SPECIAL DISTRICTS ASSOCIATION
OF ACTUALLY NOT AFFECTED BY
THREE THIRTY NINE. AND FOR THAT
REASON WE ACTUALLY HAVE A
NEUTRAL POSITION ON THAT BILL-
I WILL NOTE HOWEVER- THE POINTS
RAISED BY SENATOR CAFIERO
RELATING TO. REIMBURSEMENT AND
MANDATES THAT ARE CONTAINED
WITHIN THE WITHIN THE CONFINES
OF THE BROWN ACT. YOU CREATE
THOSE. NON REIMBURSABLE
MANDATES ON LOCAL AGENCIES- IT
DOES- MAKES SENSE GIVEN THAT IN
THE- POLICY COMMITTEE THAT IS
THE ASSEMBLY LOCAL GOVERNMENT
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. FOR THREE
THIRTY NINE- IT HAD REMARKED
THAT THE- TELECONFERENCING THAT
WE'VE SEEN HAS NEVER BEEN
BEFORE REQUIRED OF LOCAL
AGENCIES OF ALWAYS BEEN
PERMISSIVE. AND MANY AGENCIES
STILL LACK THE EQUIPMENT STAFF
AND INTERNET ACCESS ANOTHER
TECHNICAL SUPPORT NECESSARY TO
PROVIDE THAT TECHNO TELEPHONIC
AND INTERNET ACCESS TO THEIR
MEETINGS. TO INTERPRETIVE
REQUIREMENT ON TOP OF THAT
WOULD POSE A PARTICULARLY
COSTLY MANDATES ON LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. YES SENATOR STERN
IF I MAY UNDER THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS BILL. HOW WOULD YOU
AVOID THAT WHAT YOU'RE CALLING
A COSTLY MANDATE. HE WOULD HE
WOULD NOT HAVE INTERPRETERS
THEN IN THESE EMERGENCY
CIRCUMSTANCES OR WOULD NOT.
HAVE THOSE SORT OF
TELECONFERENCING SERVICES. OR
THAT FOR YOU WHAT IS A SPECIAL
DISTRICT OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. A
TAKE ON THAT COST YOU JUST WANT
THE STATE TO REIMBURSE YOU FOR.
SO I WOULDN'T BE ABLE
NECESSARILY TO COMMENT ON WHAT
WE WOULD WANT AGAIN WERE NOT.
AFFECTED BY THAT BE A TERM OF
THREE THREE NINE BUT YES THE
MAJOR FACTOR OF A MAJOR FACTOR
OF THE OTHER LOCAL GOVERNMENT
ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ENTITY IN OPPOSITION
THREE THREE NINE- AS I
UNDERSTAND IT DOES CENTER ON
BE. A MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF
THAT BILL VERSES THIS BILL
WHICH HIS PERMISSION- IN NATURE.
BUT WHAT I'M ASKING IS YOU
WOULD YOU WOULD DEPLOY
INTERPRETIVE SERVICES. IF THE
IF THOSE OPTIONS WERE EXERCISED
UNDER THIS LEGISLATION OR OTHER
ACCOMMODATIONS TO. IN THOSE
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT IS THAT LAID
OUT OR IS THAT ALL PERMISSIVE
THAT'S ALL THE OPTION OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENT UNDER THREE SIX ONE.
THREE ONE DOESN'T SPEAK TO
TRANSLATION SERVICES- AS FOR
THE TRANSLATION SERVICES AS
THEY EXIST AND FINALLY ALATORRE
ACT THAT MAY CREATE OBLIGATIONS
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS- WHICH
OPERATE GENERALLY. WHICH IS.
INCLUDING THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
ACCORDING TO THE MERGER
PHYSICAL SAMPLES. SIR SIR ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU- JUST ADJUSTED
A NOTE OF THAT WE'VE BEEN HERE
SO LONG THAT CENTER BOARD IS
ACTUALLY CROSS THE ISLAND ALIGN
HIMSELF WITH SENATOR SKINNER
THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF HOW LONG
WE'VE BEEN HERE AND HOW WE WARN
CENTER BOARD JUST DOWN. ALL
RIGHT- SIR THERE ALSO. IF I
COULD JUST AS THE- THE AUTHOR
TO RESPOND TO THOSE I I'M SURE
IT'S BEEN MIXED UP IN THE
ANSWERS BUT THE- OPPOSITION I
THINK THERE WERE FOUR. FOR
CONCERNS YEAH I'D BE HAPPY ON I
APPRECIATE THE LOVE ENGAGING
WE'VE HAD WITH OPPOSITION YOU
KNOW WE'VE- THE GAUGE OF THEM
SINCE THE TIME WE INTRODUCE THE
BILL WHEN THEY RAISED. THEIR
CONCERNS AND WE'VE TAKEN.
NUMEROUS ROUNDS OF AMENDMENTS
TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS AND
YOU KNOW AND I THINK SOME OF
THE REMAINING CONCERNS OR
SPECIFICALLY THE REQUEST TO
MANDY BOTH PHONE AND VIDEO
COMMENTS OPTION. IT'S ACTUALLY
A PROVISION- THAT WAS REMOVED
FROM THEIR OWN SPONSORED BILL
IN A. B. THREE THREE NINE AND
THE SEMI LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
BECAUSE OF THE BROADBAND
DISCREPANCIES THAT WE KNOW
EXIST THROUGHOUT OUR STATE AND
THE IMPACT IT'S HAVING TO RULE
RESIDENCE- AND- THESE SMALLER-
THESE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND
SO UNFORTUNATELY REQUIRING BOTH
PHONE AND THESE VIDEO
CONFERENCING FOR ALL MEETINGS
IS NOT. TECHNOLOGICALLY
FEASIBLE- FOR MANY OF THESE A
SMALLER AREAS AND SO YOU KNOW
CERTAINLY. TRYING TO FORCE
THESE TOUGH REQUIREMENTS IN
ARBIL- IS- THE- YOU KNOW
CERTAINLY. YOU KNOW A VERY
CHALLENGING- KNOWING THAT IT'S
BEEN AMENDED OUT OF THEIR BILL
AND SO CERTAINLY JUST. YOU KNOW
AS WAS MENTIONED HI THIS IS A
BILL THAT HAS. BEEN YOU KNOW
NARROWLY TAILORED- IN THE SENSE
THAT. IN ORDER FOR. THIS TO BE
UTILIZED THERE HAS TO BE ONE A
PROCLAMATION OF A STATE
EMERGENCY. AND THEN- FURTHER A
LOCAL- A DETERMINATION BY A
MAJORITY VOTE. TWO TWO THAT
THAT THAT. SPECIFICALLY STATES
THE OTHER RESULT OF THIS
EMERGENCY. THAT A MEETING A
PERSON WILL PRESENT AN IMMINENT
RISK TO HEALTH OR SAFETY OF
ATTENDEES AND SO IT'S EXTREMELY
NARROW. IN SCOPE- TO REALLY
FOCUS ON- YOU KNOW A LOCAL
EMERGENCY AS WE EXPERIENCE AMID
THIS PANDEMIC. THANK YOU ON THE
SECOND HOUSE. YES THANK YOU- TO
THE AUTHOR AND MAY I HAVE THE
SAME QUESTIONS AS US SENATOR
ASAL- YOU KNOW MAYBE SOME
SOMETHING TO ADD THAT COULD SAY
THAT YOU KNOW BEST EFFORTS
COULD BE MADE IF SOMEONE DOES
HAVE GOOD BROADBAND BECAUSE I
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU KNOW THE
CONCEPT OF NOT HAVING THAT
ACCESS. FOR PHONE AND VIDEO BUT
IF YOU DO HAVE THAT YOU SHOULD
HAVE THAT AVAILABLE TO BE AS
TRANSPARENT AS TRANSPARENT AS
POSSIBLE FOR THE PUBLIC- SO
JUST YOU KNOW SOMETHING ELSE TO
THINK ABOUT THE OTHER-
COMPONENT WHICH I DON'T KNOW
HAD BEEN ADDRESSED BUT IT WAS-
IN THE BILL HAD MENTIONED THAT
THIS PROVISION WILL ALLOW
MEMBERS OF THE BODY TO
PARTICIPATE REMOTELY HAVING.
WITHOUT HAVING TO POST OUR HOME
ADDRESS WHICH I CAN UNDERSTAND.
OR AT THE ADDRESS OF WHATEVER
LOCATION FROM WHICH THEY ARE
PARTICIPATING SO. I CAN SEE
WHERE MAYBE THERE'S SOME
DISTRUST AND EVEN THOUGH IT'S
AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE
THE PUBLIC MAY THINK YOU KNOW
YOU'RE SOMEWHERE ELSE THANK
YOU. YOU KNOW ARE NOT IN THE
JURISDICTION THAT USE. SHOULD
BE IN- THE WHILE VOTING
REQUIRED TO HAVE A QUORUM IN
THE JURISDICTION SO JUST
SOMETHING ELSE I'M THINKING
ABOUT BUT I KNOW YOU'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH- YOU
KNOW OPPOSITION ON THIS AND-
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD I KNOW YOU KNOW THIS IS
A VERY NARROW SCOPE BILL THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YO.
ALL RIGHT OTHER QUESTIONS

UP LATE WITH US. SO REMEMBER
RODRIGUEZ FLOOR'S YOURS THANK
YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENT
AB THREE SIXTY FOUR THIS BILL
WILL ENSURE THAT ALL OF
APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND TEMPORARY VISA
HOLDERS. WHO COME TO CALIFORNIA
TO WORK RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE
PROTECTIONS FROM WELL
DOCUMENTED DECEITFUL PRACTICES
OF THIRD PARTY FOREIGN LABOR
RECRUITERS. AB THREE SIXTY FORT
WORTH CORRECT A DRAFTING ERROR
MADE AN SP FOUR SEVEN SEVEN IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN THAT CREATED
THE FIRST FRAMEWORK OF
COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTIONS FOR
TEMPORARY VISA HOLDERS BY
pAGRICULTURAL WORKERS. AMONG ALL
TYPES OF BASES THE H. TWO A.
PROGRAM VISA PROGRAM THE
TEMPORARY VISA CALORIE LINK TO
THE LARGEST NUMBER OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING CASES IN THE UNITED
STATES. NEWLY RELEASED DATA
FROM THE NATIONAL HUMAN
TRAFFICKING HOTLINE SHOWS THAT
OUR CULTURE WORKERS WITH H. TWO
A. VISA REPORTED 70% MORE CASES
OF TRAFFICKING. AND
EXPLOITATION DURING THE
PANDEMIC AND AT LEAST ONE THIRD
OF THESE WORKERS ALSO REPORTED
BEING DENIED MEDICAL ATTENTION
AMONG OTHER USES WHAT THEY WERE
DEEMED ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES BY
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENTS.
THESE ARE JUST TOOK JUMP
EXAMPLES OF THE WAYS IN WHICH
OUR CURRENT SYSTEMS BOTH
FEDERALLY AND IN CALIFORNIA. DO
NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECT THESE
WONDERFUL TEMPORARY MIGRANT
WORKERS ENTERING CALIFORNIA.
DURING THE SERVICES OF FOREIGN
LABOR RECRUITERS. THE BILLS
INCREASE PROTECTION WOULD JUST
DO THAT FOLLOWING THE LAST
COMMITTEE'S HEARING. OPPONENTS

COMPROMISE. MY OFFICE REACH OUT

SPONSOR MAYBE THREE SIX FOUR
CASTLE THE LARGEST LEGAL AND
SOCIAL SERVICE PRIOR FOR
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS AND UNITED
STATES. BASED ON FORECAST
MODELS WRITERS APPEARANCE
WORKING A TRAFFICKING VICTIMS
YOU LEARN THAT ONE OF THE BEST
WAY TO PREVENT TRAFFICKING
BEFORE IT. WAS TO LIMIT THE
FRAUDULENT PRACTICES A THIRD
PARTY FOR LABOR CONTRACTORS AT
THE TIME OF WORKER RECRUITMENT.
TRAFFICKING IS THE DIFFICULT
CRIME TO VENT BUT THE DAY WE
CAN PROTECT THE VULNERABLE
WORKERS AT THE PORT SEVEN SEVEN
REQUIREMENTS AS CLARIFIED BY
EIGHTY THREE SIX FOUR OR CRIME
SO PROTECTING ALL TEMPORARY
WORKERS COMING TO CALIFORNIA.
MUCH OF THE DEBATE AROUND
EIGHTY THREE SIX FOUR FOCUSES
ON THE H. TWO A. AGRICULTURAL
WORKERS ONLY ABOUT TWENTY
THOUSAND OF THE WORKERS- THE

FOUR. THE WHOLE WAY BEYOND
THOSE EXISTING IN CALIFORNIA OR
FEDERAL LAW THEY PROVIDE A
SORELY NEEDED ASSISTANCE
FRAMEWORK COVERING ALL THE

PROVISIONS ARE ALSO GOOD FOR
BUSINESS EMPLOYERS WILL NOT
HAVE A VETTED LIST OF

MISTER CHAIR- THIS IS MATTHEW
ALLEN WITH WESTERN GROWERS
ASSOCIATION I WILL KEEP MY
SYSTEM WHEN YOU BREATHE IN A
LATE HOUR. WE ARE OPPOSED TO

EXISTING LAW- BONIVA
CONTRACTORS IN CALIFORNIA IN.
CALIFORNIA ALREADY HAVE TO BE
REGISTERED UNDER THE- FARM
LABOR CONTRACTOR LOG THAT IS
THROUGH THE LABOR COPPER LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE. AND
THIS- REGULATION WOULD BE
DUPLICATIVE TO THAT IT WOULD
SUBJECT- ARE POSTED TO
LICENSING RESTRICTIONS- THAT-
THE JUDGE WILL BE COVERING THE
SAME THING AND SO. FOR THOSE
REASONS THAT WE ARE OPPOSED TO
THE BILL. THANK YOU. ALSO BRIAN
LITTLE. BEING A TEACHER MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE I'M QUITE A
LITTLE REPRESENTING CALIFORNIA
FARM BUREAU CALIFORNIA'S
LARGEST ORGANIZATION OF FARMERS
AND RANCHERS WE RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSE AB THREE SIXTY FOUR
BECAUSE ALL OPPOSED TO CLICK A
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS ON FARM
LABOR CONTRACTORS TO
PARTICIPATE WITH FEDERAL H. TWO
A. TEMPORARY CULTURAL WORKER
VISA PROGRAM AND FURNITURE
CULTURAL PULLEYS ON MANY
CALIFORNIA FARMS THE FARM LABOR
CONTRACTORS HAVE FOR DECADES
BEEN REQUIRED TO CLEAN AND
MAINTAIN. THE STATE FARM LABOR
CONTRACTORS LICENSE WHICH
REQUIRES FARM LABOR CONTRACTORS
TO DEMONSTRATE COMPLIANCE AND
SATISFACTION BUT THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER WITH NUMEROUS
IMPORTANT PROTECTIONS FOR
EMPLOYEES INCLUDING SEXUAL
HARASSMENT TRAINING FOR THEIR
PERSONNEL PUT YOU AWAY TO BOND
FOR CONTRACTORS SEEKING INITIAL
LICENSES EXPECTED IT'S CRUCIAL
ACQUIREMENT CONTINUING
EDUCATION PROPEL SEES SEEK
RENEWAL OF THEIR LICENCES
EIGHTY THREE SIXTY FOUR IS AN
UNNECESSARY EXPANSION THE

FARM LABOR CONTRACTORS ALREADY
LICENSED BONDED AND SUBJECT TO

THE LABOR COMMISSIONER. THANK

FORMERLY AN OPPOSITION THANK

ELSE IS IN OPPOSITION OF E. B.
THREE SIX FOUR YOU MAY PRESS

MODERATOR. WE HAVE NO ONE ELSE
IN THE PHONE CALL RIGHT I SEE
SO THE BOARD JUST AT OUR
BORDERS. THANK YOU CHAIR BOY IT
HAS BEEN ONE HECK OF A DAY- THE
GROUP THAT THAT WOULD NINE HOUR
MARKER SO- FIVE RISE. IN
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL ONLY BECAUSE AND I THINK
SOME FOLKS THAT ARE YOUR TICKET
LATER SOME OF THE CONCERNS.
THE- THE MOTIVATION BEHIND THIS
BILL SEEMS MERITORIOUS I MEAN
WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT WE REDUCE OR
IDEALLY ELIMINATE TRAFFICKING-
IN ORGANIZED CRIME THAT GOES
ALONG WITH- THAT ELICIT-
ENTERPRISE. THE ISSUE IS WHAT
EXACTLY IS NOT WORKING WITH THE
TWO OTHER EXISTING REGISTRATION
AND COMPLIANCE. OUR REGION IS
THAT WE HAVE BOTH FEDERAL AND
STATE RIGHT NOW. IN ADDING THAT
THIRD. YOU'RE WELCOME CLIENTS-
I THINK WE WOULD BE BETTER
SERVED IF WE IMPROVED IF
NECESSARY. THE EXISTING STATE
REGISTRATION AND COMPLIANCE-
REGIME RATHER THAN CREATE A
THIRD ONE SO I DON'T DISAGREE
THAT THERE CAN BE IMPROVEMENTS
IN WAYS THAT WE CAN LOOK AFTER
THE WELFARE OF THOSE THAT ARE
WORKING IN THIS COUNTRY-
BECAUSE WE RELY ON THEM SO MUCH
APPRECIATE WHAT THEY CONTRIBUTE
TO. OUR INDUSTRY. BUT AT SOME
POINT I MEAN. WHEN YOU HAVE
THREE SEPARATE REGIMES THAT ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR IN MANY
RESPECTS THE SAME THING- I
DON'T SEE. WHY IT COULD BE
TERRIBLY USEFUL. AND I THINK
WITH THAT I WOULD- RESPECTFULLY
LET THE AUTHOR KNOW THAT I
APPRECIATE WHAT HE'S DONE BUT-
WE TALK ABOUT THE REGULATORY.
AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL ARE IN
POSITIONS ON ENTERPRISE WE ALSO
TALK ABOUT THE DROUGHT AND
DISEASE THE OVERALL CONDITIONS
WE'VE EXPERIENCED RECOVERED-
AND WHAT HAVOC THAT IS READ ON
OUR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION WE
ARE HELD TO HIGHER STANDARDS IN
THE WORLD. IN THESE AREAS OF
REGULATION AND WELFARE AND
LABOR- I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD
NECESSARILY LOOK UPON WHAT IS
OCCURRING AS SOMETHING THAT IS
INHERENTLY FAULTY ESPECIALLY
WHEN WE HAVE FEDERAL AND STATE.
REGISTRATION REGIMES THAT CAN
SATISFY THESE CONCERNS SO THANK
YOU. THANK YOU- CENTER MORICHES
ALL RIGHT. OTHER COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS I SEE NO OTHER
MICROPHONES RAISED- IS THERE A

NINE- SPONSORED BY PLACEMENT
AGENCIES AND PROVIDES FOR NO-OVERSIGHT WHATSOEVER. AND WHILE
THAT DOES INCLUDE A HANDFUL OF
CONSUMER PROTECTION IT DOESN'T
