BILL THAT I'M- PROCEEDING ON
TODAY'S AB TWELVE EIGHTY TWO.
THE CALIFORNIA PET BLOOD
MODERNIZATION ACT AND THE BILL
THAT'S BEING REMOVED AS AB ONE
OH THREE FOUR. THAT IS CORRECT
THANK THANK YOU MR CHAIR AT THE
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FIRST
LET ME THANK. BNP AND ACT
COMMITTEE STAFFER WORKING
CLOSELY WITH MY OFFICE ON THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WE DEVELOPED IN
COLLABORATION WITH
STAKEHOLDERS. WE'VE MADE GREAT
STRIDES TOWARDS RESOLVING THE
REMAINING ISSUES IN THE BILL
WITH THEIR HEALTH. EIGHTY
TWELVE EIGHTY TWO THE
CALIFORNIA PET BLOOD BANK
MODERNIZATION ACT SEEKS TO
ADDRESS BOTH THE SHORTAGE OF
ANIMAL BLOOD FOR VETERINARY
TRANSFUSION MEDICINE. HAND THE
OBSOLETE IN HUMANE AND
ULTIMATELY LIMITING PRACTICE OF
CAPTIVE CLOSED COLONY CANINE
BLOOD BANKS IN CALIFORNIA. THE
BILL AUTHORIZES LICENSED
VETERINARIANS TO OPERATE
COMMUNITY BLOOD BANKS THAT
PRODUCE AND SELL ANIMAL BLOOD
AND BLOOD PRODUCTS. THESE
COMMUNITY BLOOD BANKS FOR
ANIMALS ARE SIMILAR TO HUMAN
MODELS IN THAT THEY COLLECT
BLOOD FROM PETS WHOSE ONERS
VOLUNTARILY CONSENT TO THE
DONATION. CURRENTLY THIS
VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY BASED
APPROACH ISN'T ALLOWED HERE. IN
FACT CALIFORNIA IS THE ONLY
STATE IN THE COUNTRY THAT
REQUIRES ANIMAL BLOOD TO COME
FROM SO CALLED CLOSED COLONIES
THAT KEEP HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS
IN CONFINEMENT FOR YEARS. FOR
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF HARVESTING
THEIR BLOOD. THERE HAVE ONLY
EVER BEEN TO AN EIGHTIES THAT
HAVE OPERATED SUCH A BUSINESS
IN CALIFORNIA. AND MEANWHILE
DEMAND FOR ANIMAL BLOOD VASTLY
OUTSTRIPS THIS CLOSE CALL IN
THE SUPPLY AND VETERINARIANS
ARE REGULARLY FACED WITH A LACK
OF LIFE SAVING PRODUCTS TO
PERFORM TRANSFUSIONS. AND
RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES. AB
TWELVE EIGHTY TWO PROVIDES A
HUMANE SOLUTION FOR SOURCING
ANIMAL BLOOD WHILE
SIMULTANEOUSLY ADDRESSING THE
SUPPLY SHORTAGE AND
ESTABLISHING CONDITIONS TO
EVENTUALLY PHASE OUT CAPTIVE
CLOSE CALL IN THE CANINE BLOOD
BANKS. AB TWELVE EIGHTY TWO
ADDRESSES THE GOVERNOR'S TWENTY
NINETEEN VETO OF SB TWO OH TWO
BY PROVIDING A TRANSITION AWAY
FROM THE USE OF CAPTIVE CLOSE
CALL IN THE CANINE BLOOD BANKS
IN CALIFORNIA. ONLY PHASING
THEM OUT ONCE THE AMOUNT OF DOG
BLOOD COMMUNITY BANK SELL
EQUALS OR EXCEEDS THE AMOUNT
THE CLOSE CALL ON THE CELL. OF
FOUR CONSECUTIVE QUARTERS THIS
IS AN ISSUE THAT SENATOR WELL
CAN I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
PASSIONATELY FOR THE PAST THREE
YEARS AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS
IS THE APPROACH THAT
VETERINARIANS ANIMAL WELFARE
INTERESTS IN THE AFFECTED STATE
DEPARTMENTS CAN ALL AGREE WILL
PUT CALIFORNIA ON A PATH TO AN
ETHICALLY SOURCED SAFE AND
EXPANDED. ANIMAL BLOOD SUPPLY.

REGARDING THE TRIGGER LANGUAGE
PARTICULAR WHILE WE HAD CALLED
FOR A TRIGGER BASED ON A
ROLLING THREE YEAR AVERAGE THE
AMENDMENTS. ARE PUT IN PLACE
ONE BASED ON A ONE VOLUME OVER
FOUR QUARTERS SHORTER PERIOD
BUT THE CONCEPT IS THE SAME.
RATHER CONCERN WAS THAT THE
TRIGGER. ONCE IT WAS CALLED. K.

EXTEND THE TIME. AND CALLING
THE BLOOD PRODUCTION FROM
TWELVE TO EIGHTEEN MONTHS WE
REMAIN CONCERNED. THE PEPSI

RIGOROUSLY ASKED. TO BE
INCLUDED AS A CO AUTHORS MOVES
FORWARD AND WHEN THE MOMENT
APPROPRIATE LIKE TO MOVE THE
BILL. THANK YOU SIR CENTER IT'S
A LITTLE YEAH- THANK YOU MISTER
JUST A COUPLE OF. QUESTIONS
THAT LEAD TO CALL AUTHORS WELL
I'M- GOING TO MOVE ALONG WITH
JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS IS
YOUR COMPENSATION- FOR THE
OWNER. OR OR IS IT TOTALLY
VOLUNTEER AND IS THE ANIMAL
EXAMINED BEFORE. ANY BLOOD IS
DONATED. AND IS IT FINAL IS IT
JUST FOR THAT ONE CLINIC OR
DOES THE BLOOD- THAT SHE CEDED
TO DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTY OR STATE. PLEASE PROCEED
THANK YOU MR CHAIR OF THE
PROGRAM IS VOLUNTARY AND I'M
SORRY THE OTHER TWO QUESTIONS-
ONCE AGAIN THAT IT WAS
VOLUNTARY THAT WAS THAT'S GREAT
AND THE- IS THE ANIMAL CHECKED
BY THE VETERINARIAN YES. I HAD
AN EXAMINATION AS TYPICAL. OKAY
AND THEN FINALLY THE BLOOD IS
IT KEPT THERE AT THAT
PARTICULAR CLINIC OR IS THE
BLOOD SENT THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTY OR THE STATE. OR JUST
FOR THAT CLINIC. FOR THAT
ANSWER I WOULD- CALL ON DOCTOR
BERGER. DOCTOR BERGER. YES YEAH
SO AT THAT POINT AND IT WILL BE
IT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED AFTER
THE FACT THAT THE COLD COLONY
BANK BLOODY CAN BE DISTRIBUTED
AT THAT LIGHT WILL BE AVAILABLE
TO VETERINARIANS THEY NEED AND-
IN A PATIENT IN. GOOD THANK YOU
THE REASON I ASK. MISS CHAIRS
BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT IT'S- ANIMALS ACROSS THE
BORDER GIVEN THAT EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE YOU MAY
HAVE ONE BLANK- BLOOD BANK THAT
IS EXTREMELY ACTIVE. WHILE
ANOTHER COMMUNITY ISN'T SO THAT
FRONT BUT I. WOULD LIKE TO-
MOVE THE BILL AND ALSO ASK FOR
CALL AUTHORSHIP. OKAY HANK YOU
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS CALLING SPINNER JONES
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I CAME
DOWN ON THE FLOOR TODAY- IN
FULL SUPPORT HIS BILL BUT THEN
WHEN I GOT ON MY DESK I WAS
NOTICING THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY
TWO COMPANIES THAT ARE IMPACTED
BY THIS LEGISLATION. WHICH I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT- THE
LEGISLATURE. PUTTING LEGITIMATE
CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES OUT OF
BUSINESS SO THE- SPEAKER IN.
WHAT STARTED OFF AS OPPOSITION-
WAS INTERESTING TO ME AND I WAS
WONDERING IF THE AUTHOR COULD.
RESPOND TO THAT- THOSE COMMENTS
FROM MR LEE **** WHAT WE'RE
GRATEFUL- THAT- THE BUSINESS HE
REPRESENTS SAID HAS GONE
NEUTRAL ON THE BILL- AND THERE
THAT THIS BILL IS NOT INTENDED
TO PUT ANYONE OUT OF BUSINESS-
THE- TWO. COMPANIES THAT
CURRENTLY DO CLOSE COLONY- A
BLOOD DONOR WORK. ARE MORE THAN
WELCOME TO JOIN THE NEW SYSTEM.
AND PROBABLY WILL OKAY AND OKAY
SO I GUESS AT LEAST SET AT A
QUESTION OR A SYNERGY THAT WAS
ALLUDING TO BAN A WE GOT A
CLEAR ANSWER ON IT AND- WHEN
YOU ENROLL YOUR PET INTO THIS
PROGRAM ARE YOU COMPENSATED.
FOR WHAT YOUR PETS PROVIDING. I
GUESS IT DEPENDS ON THE TERM
COMPENSATION YOU DO RECEIVE IN
THE A TYPICAL ITERATION AS I
UNDERSTAND IT YOU RECEIVE A
FREE EXAMINATION FOR YOUR DOG-
WHICH MIGHT BE CONSIDERED SOME
FORM OF COMPENSATION- AND
USUALLY THERE'S A TREAT
INVOLVED. ABOUT ALL THAT-
DOCTOR BERGER- ADD COMMENTS OR
ANYTHING ON IT MAYBE I CAN GIVE
SOME YOU KNOW IN SOME FOR
DOCTOR BERGER YOU KNOW IF
YOU'RE SAYING THAT THAT THE TWO
COMPANIES THAT DO THIS NOW CAN
PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. I
GUESS THE BOTTOM LINE IS OUR
PROFIT- CENTER IS- PROFIT
OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM IF THEY
CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE. BUT
THE QUESTION HELLO THERE YOU
KNOW AND MONEY COMPENSATION FOR
THE DONORS BECAUSE IT'S JUST
LIKE IN HUMANS IT IS VOLUNTARY
SO IT'S THE BENEFIT TO THE
COMMUNITY BUT THEY WILL RECEIVE
AN EXAM SO WE'RE ACTUALLY.
MAKING MORE HEALTHY ANIMAL FOR
THE COMMUNITY IF THEY
PARTICIPATE AND YES I LIKE THE
TREE SO THEY DEFINITELY GET A
TREAT. AND IN ADDITION YES IT
WILL ACTUALLY PROVIDE FOR MORE
BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE
EVERYBODY CAN PARTICIPATE AS
SUB LIMITED TO TRIP TO
BUSINESSES THAT. ARE CURRENTLY
IN PLACE SO EVERYBODY HAS A
FAIR CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE CREATION AND THAT WE WANT
TO HAVE MORE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES. THANK YOU WELL

THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
I'M PROUD TO PRESENT BY
TESTIMONY ONLY EIGHTY FOUR FOUR
THREE WHICH AIMS TO CREATE A
PATHWAY TO ALLOW FOREIGN
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND
MEDICAL GRADUATES TO WORK IN
CALIFORNIA'S UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES TO PROVIDE. PATIENT
CARE. PATIENT CARE SUPPORT THE
REFLECTS CALIFORNIA'S
LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY THE COVERT
NINETEEN PANDEMIC MADE IT CLEAR
THAT ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE IS
TRULY. A LIFE OR DATH ISSUE
ARE ESSENTIAL WORKERS IN
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES WERE
OVER REPRESENTED. IN NOT ONLY
CALL THE NINETEEN CASES BUT IN
MORTALITY RATES AND LONG TERM
COMPLICATIONS. THE ROOT OF
THESE OUTCOMES OUTCOME
DISPARITIES. WE TOOK GREAT
STEPS IN THE BUDGET THIS YEAR
TO GET MORE OF OUR STATE'S
RESIDENTS ACCESS TO MEDICAL.
BUT HOW USEFUL THAT B. TWO ARE
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES THAT
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH PROVIDERS
AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO THE
CALIFORNIA HEALTH CARE
WORKFORCE COMMISSION SEVEN
MILLION CALIFORNIANS ALMOST ONE
IN SIX LIVE IN AN AREA WITH A
SWORD A SHORTAGE OF PROVIDERS.
THOUGH SHORTAGES ARE
CONCENTRATED IN COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR MAKING THE NEED FOR MULTI
LINGUAL PHYSICIANS AND EVEN
MORE ACUTE ONE. CALIFORNIA LAGS
SIGNIFICANTLY BEHIND OTHER
LARGE STATES. AND THE NATION
AND THE RATIO OF LATINO
PHYSICIANS THAT ARE AVAILABLE
TO OUR SPANISH SPEAKING
RESIDENTS. A TWENTY NINETEEN
STUDY FROM UCLA FOUND THAT
THERE WERE ONLY SIX POINT TO
LET THE KNOW PHYSICIANS
AVAILABLE FOR EVERY ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND SPANISH SPEAKING
CALIFORNIANS. FOR THE NATION
THAT WHOLE RATIO IS SIX TIMES
GREATER. THIS LAST YEAR WE HAVE
FACED A PANDEMIC AND NOW IS THE
VACCINE IS WIDELY AVAILABLE WE
HAVE SEEN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS
TO HAVE CULTURALLY. COMPETENT
POSITIONS THAT CAN BUILD
RELATIONSHIPS. WITH AND
ADVOCATE FOR COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE UNDERSERVED IN OUR
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM REPEATED
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THE NON
ENGLISH SPEAKING PATIENTS SEE
MORE POSITIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES.
WHEN THEY'RE CARED FOR BY A
LINGUISTIC. AND CULTURALLY
COMPETENT PROVIDERS. RIGHT NOW
CALIFORNIA DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH
OF THOSE PROVIDERS AVAILABLE
CREATING A PATHWAY FOR
EXPERIENCE FOR MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS AND MEDICAL
GRADUATES TO WORK WITH
UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS.IN THE
LANGUAGE THAT THEY SPEAK WILL
ENSURE THAT THESE PROFESSIONALS
ARE WORKING UNDER SUPERVISION
AND THAT SUFFICIENT PATIENT
SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE. AND IT
WILL HELP CLOSE THE EQUITY GAPS
IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. I
WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE STAFF AND THE CHAIR
FOR WORKING WITH MY OFFICE ON
THIS BILL. AND LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS TO DRAFT A
FRAMEWORK THAT ACCOMPLISHES
THOSE GOALS. AND I LOOK FORWARD

IS THE CONTINUED CONVERSATION
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THAT WE LACK PROVIDERS WE LACK
DOCTORS WE LIKE NURSES WE LIKE
ENGINEERS WE LIKE EVERYTHING

NINETEEN HAS REALLY TAUGHT US

DIFFICULTIES AND HAD- HAD TO

TO- RIGHT THEY'VE BEEN ON
BEHALF OF THE BILL IS THAT OKAY.
PLEASE PROCEED. OKAY SO- MY
NAME'S MAKAI POLANSKI ON BEHALF
OF THE CANNABIS BEVERAGE
ASSOCIATION AND I'M HERE TO-
ADVOCATE THAT WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT OUR SPONSORED MEASURE
AB TWELVE TWENTY TWO RELATING
TO THE FOLLOWING. CANNABIS
BEVERAGE PRODUCTS- THE BILL
EXEMPTS HIM WITH BEVERAGES FROM
THE OPAQUE PACKAGING
REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
REQUIRED FOR ALL ANIMALS AND
WOULD INSTEAD AUTHORIZED
CANNABIS BEVERAGES TO BE
PACKAGED IN A GLASS CONTAINER
THAT IS CLEAR. OR ANY OTHER
COLOR TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT.
WELL TWENTY TWO IS MUCH MEASURE
BECAUSE WHEN THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED THE GOVERNOR BROWN
SIGNED- AND MEDICINAL AND ADULT
USE CANNABIS REGULATION AND
SAFETY ACT- OCCURRED. IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN THE CANNABIS BEVERAGE
SECTOR WITH THE NAVY AND PART
OF THE INDUSTRY. IT WAS SO
SMALL THAT WHEN THE INITIAL
PACKAGING LAWS AND REGULATIONS
WERE FORMULATED THE UNIQUE AND
SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE CANNABIS
BEVERAGE PACKAGING. FOR
UNFORTUNATELY NOT TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION. TODAY THE
CANNABIS BEVERAGE SECTOR IS NOW
THE FASTEST GROWING SECTOR
WITHIN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE
MANUFACTURER FIND THEMSELVES
HAVING TO ABIDE BY PACKAGING
LANGUAGE THAT WAS DESIGNED FOR
EDIBLE. MOBILES AND FLOWER
UNFORTUNATELY GIVEN THE UNIQUE
NATURE OF BEVERAGES. THIS HAS
BEEN INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING AND
BECAUSE OF THE COST A TRUE
BARRIER TO ENTRY FOR MANY
CANNABIS BEVERAGE BRANDS AND
MANUFACTURERS. WHAT THE BILL
SPECIFICALLY DOES THAT ALLOW
CANNABIS BEVERAGES TO BE
BOTTLED. IN CLEAR OR ANY OTHER
COLOR CONTAINER. A GOOD THING
WHERE YOU. ARE THAT CANNABIS.
B. AND BOTTLED. BOTTLES THAT
ARE OPAQUE OR AMBER COLORED
AMBER GLASS WALL COMMONLY
AVAILABLE FOR BEER BOTTLES IT'S
NOT READILY AVAILABLE IN THE U.
S. FOR MOST OTHER BOTTLE DESIGN
SHAPES AND SIZES. THIS KIND OF
COMPETITION- EXPENSES IN
PRODUCING CANNABIS BEVERAGES BY
FORCING PRODUCERS TO SOURCE
COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CHERRY
OFFICE SAYS IMPORTING GLASS
BOTTLES FROM EUROPE RATHER THAN
WORKING WITH LOCAL CALIFORNIA
VENDORS OR HAVING BOTTLED HAND
PAINTED TO MEET YOUR PATH YOUR
REQUIREMENT. IT'S ABOUT THE
REQUIREMENT IT IS UNNECESSARILY
DRIVING UP THE COST OF GOODS
FOR CANNABIS BEVERAGE PRODUCERS
AND DRIVING BUSINESS FIFTY
FOREIGN PRODUCERS WITHOUT
OFFERING ANY BENEFIT TO THE
CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS. FOR THE
REASONS STATED ABOVE THE CDA
URGES AND I HOPE FOR A B.

GOOD MORNING SENATORS
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION
TODAY OF A. B. NINE FIFTEEN A
BILL THAT WILL HELP OUR STATE
LIVE UP TO ITS PROMISE TO
SUPPORT OUR SMALL DIVERSE
BUSINESSES. AS THE FIFTH
LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD
CALIFORNIA HAS ENORMOUS
PURCHASING POWER. AND WE SHOULD
USE THAT POWER TO HELP SMALL
MICRO BUSINESSES WHO'VE TAKEN
THE LARGEST ECONOMIC HIT DURING
CALL OF IT. AND ARE STILL
STRUGGLING TO RECOVER ON A
DAILY BASIS. IN TWO THOUSAND
SIX GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER
SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT
ESTABLISHED A GOAL FOR ALL
STATE AGENCIES THAT 25% OF ALL
CONTRACTS. SHOULD GO TO
CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESSES.
SINCE THEN AGENCIES HAVE
LARGELY IGNORED THAT EXECUTIVE
ORDER. OF THE TWO HUNDRED
THIRTY ONE STATE AGENCIES
DEPARTMENTS AND COMMISSIONS
ONLY TWELVE HAVE ADOPTED A
SMALL BUSINESS OR DISABLED
VETERANS BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
POLICY. GIVEN THE HIT THE SMALL
BUSINESSES PARTICULARLY DIVERSE
AND MINORITY OWNED SMALL
BUSINESSES AND MICRO BUSINESSES
DURING THIS PANDEMIC WE
SQUANDER REAL OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP THOSE BUSINESSESON THEIR
AMERICAN DREAM. THIS BILL WOULD
CODIFY THAT 25% GO INTO LAW AND
CREATE A FASTTRACK
CERTIFICATION FOR DISADVANTAGED
BUSINESS ENTERPRISES. THIS BILL
ALSO LOOKS AT SMALL BUSINESS
SURVIVAL THROUGH AN EQUITY LENS
BY CREATING AN ECONOMIC EQUITY
FIRST EXPECTATION. THAT
REQUIRES STATE AGENCIES TO
DEVELOP EQUITY PLANS FOR
PROCURING GOODS FROM DVDS. I
NOW LIKE TO TURN THINGS OVER TO

PROCUREMENT OVER THE CITY

STATE. AS OF JUST LAST MONTH-
DATA THAT GOES INTO THE
CALIFORNIA DREAMIN DECKS 41% OF
BUSINESSES IN THE STATE ARE
STILL NOT OPEN. FROM THE
BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC LAST
YEAR. AND WE KNOW THAT
CONTRACTING CAN BE THE
LIFEBLOOD OF SUCCESS FOR ANY
BUSINESS SMALL OR LARGE. AND AT
A CONTRACT WITH THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. COULD BE THE
GATEWAY TO MAKING PAYROLL AND
FEEDING FAMILIES AND POSITIVELY
IMPACT IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT
THESE BUSINESSES OPERATE IN.

MILLION ARE MINORITY OWNED AND

WE HAVE TO. MAKE SURE THAT WE
EMPOWER MINORITY OWNED
BUSINESSES WHICH ARE- SUCH A
CRUCIAL ENGINE FOR. MANY MANY
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND-
HISTORICALLY. UNDERSERVED AND
ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED
COMMUNITIES- WE HAVE TO TRY TO
CREATE A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD I
THINK A. B. NINE FIFTEEN I WILL
PROVIDE THAT CRUCIAL SUPPORT-
THAT REMOVES BARRIERS FOR
DISADVANTAGED ENTITIES AND
PROMOTES ACCOUNTABILITY TO
ENSURE THAT THE STATE IS DOING
ITS BEST TO REACH OUT. TO
MINORITY IN HARD TO REACH

HOUSEHOLD MOVERS BY EXPANDING

CLARIFICATION OF THE LAW SO
THAT THE COMPANIES WE WORK FOR.
DON'T FACE DEPLETED OF AND OVER
REGULATION. AND HAVE A NEGATIVE
IMPACT ON THE BOTTOM LINE WHICH
OF COURSE HAS A NEGATIVE IMPACT
ON THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE
GOOD JOBS FOR US SO WE SUPPORT
THIS BILL. WE ARE GENERALLY NOT
FOR EXEMPTIONS TO REGULATION
BUT IN THIS INSTANCE THESE
COMPANIES ARE REGULATED IN
OTHER WAYS. AND I THINK IT'S
VERY TELLING- ON A CONSUMER
POINT OF VIEW THAT THERE ARE NO
CONSUMER ORGANIZATIONS IN

STRONGLY SUPPORT AT INNER DRIVE

PLEASE PROCEED. H. GOOD MORNING
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE STEVE WHITEY CAMP
PRESIDENT OF CALIFORNIA MOVING
AND STORAGE ASSOCIATION A
HUNDRED AND FOUR YEAR OLD TRADE
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING OVER
FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE MEMBER
COMPANIES SERVING CALIFORNIA
CONSUMERS IN THE REGULATED
MOVING APARTMENTS WE WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
THEIR WORK ON MAYBE THREE TO
FOUR THESE LAST FEW MONTHS BUT
UNFORTUNATELY WE REMAIN
STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS BILL. WE
APPRECIATE THE ASSESSMENT OF
THE COMMITTEE CONSULTANT AT THE
ANALYST NOTES WE BELIEVE THE
FEDERAL ARE CLEARLY GIVES
CALIFORNIA'S ABILITY TO
REGULATE THE TRANSPORTATION OF
HOUSEHOLD GOODS WITHIN OUR
BORDERS AND THE FOCUS OF
EXISTING REGULATIONS IS NOT
CENTERED AROUND- LOADS OR
UNLOADS A TRUCK BUT RATHER THE
TRANSPORT. OF HOUSEHOLD GOODS
ALSO AREN'T. BUT ARE MOST AT
RISK. THANKS TO CALIFORNIA
REGULATIONS MOST RECENTLY
ADDRESSED THE NEPHEW NINETEEN
HILL. CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS THAT
UTILIZE MOVING SERVICES ARE
SAFER THAN CONSUMERS AROUND THE
COUNTRY FROM FINANCIAL CRIMES
RELATED TO SCAMMERS THAT
PROLIFERATE NATIONWIDE. THIS
BILL WOULD WEAKEN CONSUMER
PROTECTIONS BY ALLOWING
COMPANIES. ENGAGED IN
TRANSPORTATION OF HOUSEHOLD
GOODS SUBJECT THEMSELVES FROM
STATE OVERSIGHT. THE ARGUMENT
THAT THE SPONSORS PERCEIVE AS
INNOVATION SHOULD ALLOW THEM TO
OPERATE WITHOUT REGULATION THAT
SERVE THE CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS
SO WELL. IS A MORAL HAZARD. THE
JOBS ARGUMENT IS PURE SOPHISTRY
ENACTMENT OF THIS BILL WOULD
ONLY MOVE JOBS FROM THE
REGULATED COMPANIES TO FUND
REGULATED CREATING NO NEW JOBS.
ADDITIONALLY BE HARD FOR ME TO
MOVERS HAVE SERVED AS ESSENTIAL
SERVICE PROVIDERS. BEGINNING A
STATEWIDE SHELTER IN PLACE
ORDERS. DATA PROVIDED BY THE

RETIREE FROM CONTRA COSTA
COUNTY TO THE COACHELLA VALLEY
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HAVING
RECENTLY USED TWO OF THESE
CONTAINER TYPE POT COMPANIES AS
RECENTLY AS THREE WEEKS AGO AND
I AM. HOLD STRONGLY IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS THE FROG.
THE OVER REACH BUT THESE
COMPANIES- WAS. ABSOLUTELY
OUTRAGEOUS THE. THE FACT THAT
THEY COULD BE EVEN MORE
UNREGULATED. SPEAKS TO THE
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES TO
CONSUMERS LIKE ME IF ANYTHING
THERE SHOULD BE MORE
REGULATIONS I TOTALLY AM AN
OPPOSITION SUPPORTER CALIFORNIA
MOVING AND STORAGE POSITION
I'VE READ THEIR OPPOSITION IN
THE ASSEMBLY PAPERS AND I
SUPPORT THEIR- POSITION IN
OPPOSITION I HAVE NEVER CALLED
TO THE STATE CAPITOL. EITHER
FOR OR AGAINST THE BILL BUT
HAVING BEEN HORROR. AS A
CONSUMER CALIFORNIA CONSUMER BY
THESE COMPANIES. I HAVE BEEN
MOTIVATED FOR THE FIRST TIME TO
CALL IN AND I HOPE MY STATE
REPRESENTATIVE. IN THE
LEGISLATURE ASSEMBLY AND THE
SENATE YOU KNOW AND THE REST OF
THE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE MEMBERS
HAVING HEARD NOT FROM A
LOBBYIST NOT FROM AN
ASSOCIATION BUT FROM A CONSUMER
ME. HAVING EXPERIENCED THIS AND
I HAVE IT ALL DOCUMENTED. AND
PUT TOGETHER THAT IT CAN ALL BE
REPRESENTED TOTALLY IN
OPPOSITION I WISH. SURE THERE
IS NO ONE ELSE TO SIGNAL BUT
THEY WISH TO SPEAK. THANK YOU
LET'S BRING THE DISCUSSION BACK
TO MY COLLEAGUES HERE IN THE
CHAMBER COLLEAGUES ANY
QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS MEASURE SENATOR
EDMUND. THANK YOU- HI I HAVE
SOME CONCERNS WITH THIS IS THAT.
SO HOW MANY HOW MANY OF THESE
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THAT WOULD
THEN BE GRANTED THIS EXEMPTION
DO WE KNOW HOW MANY COMPANIES
BECAUSE I MEAN THIS IS A
BUSINESS MODEL CORRECT- THAT
MOVES GOODS RIGHT. SO I JUST
DON'T UNDERSTAND THEN HOW WE'RE
SAYING THEY'RE NOT MOVERS JUST
BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THE
ACTUAL PACKING BUT THEY DO THE-
THE TRANSPORTATION SO I GUESS I
GUESS I. MEAN HOW MANY ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT IT AND IF WE'RE
DOING AN EXEMPTION TO GET
AROUND. OUR SYSTEM OF
REGULATION- AND ARE. YOU GOING
TO DO IT AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL-
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE IT IS THAT
YOU CAN EASILY. CREATE A
PROLIFERATION OF PEOPLE WHO
JUST MAY NOT ADVERTISE AS OUR
FULL SERVICE MOVERS BUT INDEED
THEY ARE MOVING GOOD SO DO YOU
KNOW ABOUT HOW MANY. COMPANIES
OPERATE UNDER THIS TYPE OF
BUSINESS MODEL WHICH IS. A
DIFFERENT FROM DOING THE
PACKING. WITH THE PERMISSION OF
THE CHAIR. PLEASE SEE I WOULD-
RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED MR
SHIMODA. AND OR MR GUSMAN BUT.
GERMAN EITHER ONE OF YOU WANT
TO RESPOND IF YOU'RE STILL ON
THE LINE. TO RESPOND TO A
CENTER ADMINS QUESTION- THIS
KRISHNA CALIFORNIA TRUCKING
ASSOCIATION SO WE HAVE- WE WERE
BRINGING THE MEASURE
PREDOMINANTLY ON BEHALF OF
THREE OF OUR MEDICARE MEMBERS
IN WHAT'S CALLED THE LESS THAN
TRUCKLOAD SECTOR TO USE A TRUCK
IN TERM. THESE ARE VERY LARGE
WELL CAPITALIZED CARRIERS WITH
REGIONAL NETWORKS THAT ALLOW
THEM TO PROVIDE THIS SERVICE-
THEY'RE NOT MOVING COMPANIES IN
THE TRADITIONAL SENSE IN THAT
THEY OFFER MULTIPLE LINES OF
SERVICE PREDOMINANTLY IN THE IN
THE- TRADITIONAL FREIGHT
TRUCKING SECTOR. SO AT LEAST
THREE COMPANIES THAT ARE DOING
THIS BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY. AND WE ALSO DON'T KNOW.
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THEIR
BUSINESS IS THIS SPECIFICALLY
JUST JUST TO MOVE TO TRANSPORT
GOODS DO WE KNOW THAT. OKAY
JUST TO- FURTHER- CLARIFY I
KNOW WE'VE WE'VE HAD SOME
DISCUSSIONS- WITH COMMITTEE
CONSULTATS ABOUT THE SCOPE. OF
THE MEASURE. AND OR INTENTION-
YOU KNOW THAT WE CAN SPEAK AT
LEAST ON THE CO SPONSOR
STANDPOINT- WAS NOT TO ADDRESS-
COMPANIES WHO ARE LOOKING TO BE
IN THE MOVIE BUSINESS FULL TIME
BUT RATHER. OUR MEMBERSHIP WHO
ARE PREDOMINATELY- FREIGHT
TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE
PROVIDING THIS AS AN ANCILLARY
SERVICE TO. THEIR OVERALL
BUSINESS SO THAT THAT IS A
DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE. I HAD
HOPED TO HAVE ON ON GOING BASIS.
OKAY I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS I JUST I
DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS IT. IT
FEELS IKE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
INFORMATION TO BE ABLE TO GROW
UP TO BE GRAND TO GO A WHOLE
BIG EXEMPTION IF WE DON'T KNOW.
THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THE NUMBER AND
THEN WHAT WHAT IT DOES TO THE
EXISTING REGULATED INDUSTRY
THAT IS ALREADY ESTABLISHED
THANK. COLLEAGUES ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR CONCERNS.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER I WILL I'LL SAY
THIS I- SEARCHABLE. THANK YOU
MR AS A REAL ESTATE BROKER I
HAVE HAD CLIENTS- OVER THE
YEARS WHO VIEWS THIS TYPE OF
SERVICE AND THEIR COMMENTS THAT
I'VE HEARD ABOUT THE TEAMSTERS
THE DRIVERS- THE
PROFESSIONALISM IN DROPPING OFF
THE CONTAINER PICKING HIM UP-
IT'S BEEN FANTASTIC AND THEY'VE
GONE- FROM ONE END TO THE
COUNTY TO THE OTHER. IN SOME
EVEN OUT OF STATE AND THE
CONTAINERS WERE THERE AS AGREED
AND SO I SEE THIS IS A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT ENTRY
LEVEL OF BUYER AND ALSO PEOPLE-
WHO JUST CAN'T AFFORD THE
NORMAL PROCESS OF HIRING A
LARGE- COMPANY TO PACK THEM UP.
AND AS WE KNOW IN TODAY'S
ECONOMY A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
MOVING FROM POINT A TO POINT B.
AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS WILL
ALL PARTICIPATE AND HELP HIM
PACK UP IN THEY COULD FILL UP
THE CONTAINERS AND OF COURSE
THE TEAMSTER DRIVERS- WITH
THEIR EXPERIENCE AND
PROFESSIONALISM. PICK IT UP AND
MOVING ON SO- I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THE BILL AND I'LL MOVE
IT AT THE PROPER TIME. THANK
YOU THANK YOU SIR EXCELLENT I
WAS ABOUT TO SAY- SOME OF YOU
KNOW I SORT OF BELIEVE THAT THE
REASON WE REGULATE. ONE
PARTICULAR SECTION OF THE
INDUSTRY OR OCCUPATION THIS
PARTICULAR CASES. WE REGULATE
THOSE WHO MOVE THE HOUSEHOLD
GOODS OF RESIDENTS OF THE
STATE. AND THE PURPOSE I ASSUME
IS TO ENSURE THAT THOSE
HOUSEHOLD GOODS ARE
SAFEGUARDED. BUT DURING THE
PROCESS FROM WITHOUT REGARD TO
WHO ACTUALLY PACKS THE BOXES
WHO ACTUALLY TAKES THE BOXES.
AND PUTS THEM IN THIS CASE IN
THE PODS. SO I BELIEVE I SHARE
THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY
SENATOR EGGMAN. ABOUT THIS
MEASURE- AND I COMPLETELY AGREE
WITH MY CUT COME IN THE
COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUE
SENATOR ARCHER LETTER WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROFESSIONALISM
OF. THE TEAMSTERS AND OTHERS
WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THIS
PROCESS. BUT I SUPPOSE THE SAME
COMMENTS COULD BE MADE WITH
RESPECT TO THE OTHER ASPECTS OF
THE HOUSEHOLD GOODS MOVING
INDUSTRY AND THEN THE QUESTION
IS WHY REGULATE. A SECTION OF
IT AND THEN. ON NOT ANOTHER
PART OF THE OPERATION. I AM
GOING TO- DEFER TO THE WISHES
F MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO THE
MOTION AND THE VOTE- BUT I DO
HAVE THOSE CONCERNS AND I THINK
IF WE MOVE THIS BILL FORWARD IF
THIS BILL MOVES OUT OF THE
COMMITTEE WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS. AS TO
WHAT DIFFERENTIATES. THIS
ASPECT OF THE POT OPERATION AS
OPPOSED TO WHEN YOU JUST HAVE
ONE DROP IN YOUR DRIVEWAY AND
YOU USE IT TO TEMPORARILY STORE
YOUR- HOUSEHOLD GOODS WHILE
YOU'RE REMODELING YOUR HOUSE.
AND THE ASPECT OF THE POT
INDUSTRY THAT REALLY CLOSELY
RESEMBLES THE REST OF THE
MOVING AND TRANSPORT INDUSTRY
IN THIS STATE SO. COLLEGE ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS CENTRE ARCHULETA HAS
MOVED. SUBMIT MEMBER WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE- IN REGARDING THE
POD IN THE COURSE THERE'S A
COMPANY CALLED POD- IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT THAT TYPE OF
BUSINESS IS NOT DEALT WITH. IN
THIS BILL- OTHER TYPES BUT NOT
SPECIFICALLY POD BUSINESS
MODEL- AGAIN I'LL DEFER TO THE-
CO SPONSORS TO CLEAR. OR
CORRECT THAT BUT THAT'S WHAT MY
UNDERSTANDING IS- HAVING SAID
THAT I WILL RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT AND
PLEDGED TO WORK TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH ALL OF YOU- TO
IMPROVE THE BILL IF IT NEEDS TO
BE IMPROVED- WE'VE HAD GOOD
CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFF- AND OFFERED AN
AMENDMENT BUT THERE'S BEEN NO-
MEETING OF THE MINDS YET. ON
THAT AMENDMENT SO I WOULD

COMING FORTH AND OF COURSE THE
COMMUNITY OF CONTENT FOR COMING
TOGETHER- AND TAKING PRIDE IN
THEIR COMMUNITY THE STAND UP.
FOR SOMETHING THAT OBVIOUSLY
HAS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS AND
YEARS MY QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR
IS. ISN'T THERE A PROPRIETOR
ISN'TTHERE OWNERSHIP OF THAT
CEMETERY THAT- THEY SHOULD HAVE
MAINTAINED THIS ALONG THE WAY
AND HOW HOW HAS IT ALL FALLING
APART. NOW THAT- WITH THIS BILL
OBVIOUSLY ISN'T IN DIRE NEED OF
CORRECTING THIS BUT HOW HOW DID
THIS HAPPEN AND HOW DO WE
PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING
ACROSS THE STATE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SENATOR- WE HAVE A
LAW AND THIS BILL SEEKS TO
CLOSE THE LOOPHOLE IN THE LAW-
CEMETERY CARETAKER OWNER CAN
SURRENDER HIS OR HER LICENSE
AND WALK AWAY. AND THIS BILL
SIX FIFTY ONE PREVENTS THAT
FROM HAPPENING IT CREATES NO
ACCOUNTABILITY BUT ALSO
TRANSPARENCY BECAUSE WHEN WE
LAY OUR LOVED ONES TO REST AT-
THEIR FINAL RESTING LOCATION WE
EXPECT THOSE LOVED ONES TO BE
TAKEN CARE OF. IN A CEMETERY
YOU CAN GO VISIT THAT IS THAT
IS- IT'S A QUIET PLACE BUT IT'S
A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND WOODLAWN
CEMETERY DOESN'T REPRESENT THAT
IN THE PREVIOUS CARETAKER.
COULD NOT AFFORD- THE UPKEEP
AND SURRENDER AND WALKED AWAY
AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE CLOSE THIS LOOPHOLE- AS
THE CEMETERY HAS THE CEMETERY
THROUGH THEIR RESEARCH AT THE
SEVEN DAY- CALIFORNIA CEMETERY
AND FUNERAL. BUREAU PUBLISHED
THE REPORT I'M SHOWING THAT
THERE'S OVER A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTEEN PRIVATELY OWNED
CEMETERIES THAT ARE ON THE
BRINK OF INSOLVENCY SO THIS
BILL. WILL CLOSE THAT LOOPHOLE
TO MAKING SURE THE AT ONE THIS
NEVER AGAIN. AND TO PROVIDE A
NEST SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL
SUPPORT. IN WHICH THAT THE
CEMETERIES CAN ABSOLUTELY GET
THE HELP THAT THEY NEED- AND
THEY NEED IT RIGHT NOW SO
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS SO
IMPORTANT AND THIS BILL SEEKS
TO CORRECT THIS FROM HAPPENING.
IN THE FUTURE. THANK YOU
ASSEMBLYMEMBER TIME THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS CENTERING THANK YOU
BUT- IF YOU DO AND IS THERE A
MAJORITY IN THE HOUSE IS THEIR
WANT TO CEMETERIES IN PLACE AND
THERE'S NO DAMAGE DO WE KNOW
THE HEALTH OF ALL THE
INDICTMENTS ACROSS THE STATE AT
THIS TIME AND IF YOU'RE GONNA
MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS FOR MORE
TO GO IN THERE. BUT I I'M A I'M
A FAN OF CEMETERIES IN HISTORY
AND VISIT THEM VISIT THEM
WHEREVER I GO AND THIS- YOU
KNOW UP IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT
ARE ARE- ARE NOT IN GREAT
REPAIR- BUT I BUT I WONDER YOU
KNOW WHO'S RESPONSIBLE THEN AND
IF THERE IS NO EXISTING AND
DAMAGES THE COUNTY THEN JUST.
PICK UP THE COST FOR
MAINTAINING THAT SURE I WANT TO
DEFER TO MISTER GERRY DESMOND
TO ADDRESS- WHAT PART OF YOUR
QUESTION. THIS DOESN'T. IN THE
GALLERY. THREE GERRY DOESN'T
END WITH THE C. MAX THE
CEMETERY ASSOCIATION FIRST IN
TERMS OF THE OVERSIGHT OF THE

DISCUSSED IN THE ANALYSIS THERE
ARE MAINTENANCE STANDARDS
REQUIRED BY STATUTE THAT
ADOPTED BY REGULATION THAT ARE
ALSO OF THE DUE TO INSPECTION
THERE'S I KNOW INSPECTIONS BY
THE BUREAU OF EACH OF THE
PROPERTIES THE WAY THAT THIS
WOULD BE PREVENTED IN THE
FUTURE WE BELIEVE IS A- ADDRESS
BY EIGHTY SIX FIFTY ONE AND ONE
WAY WICH IS. THE OVER THE OVER
A HUNDRED PROPERTIES ARE
REFERRED TO BY A SEVEN MEMBER
GIBSON WE KNOW THAT THERE HAS
BEEN A LONG TIME WAITING FOR
THE ODOMETER FUN MINIMUM
DEPOSITS TO BE INCREASED WE
ESTIMATE THAT WITH THE MEASURE
THE L. DEPOSITS WILL BE
INCREASED ALMOST DOUBLE WHAT
THE NEW KIND OF MECHANISM IN
THE NEW STANDARDS WILL BE IN
PLACE AND THEN SECONDARILY THE
BUREAU IS ADOPTING REGULATIONS
THAT WILL PROVIDE FOR THE
BETTER INVESTMENT. OF THOSE
FUNDS TO ENABLE THEM TO BE- TO
BE MORE SUCCESSFUL IN THE
FUTURE PROVIDE FOR THE
MAINTENANCE OF AN OPENING OF
THE CEMETERIES. YOU KNOW AFTER
THEY RUN OUT OF SPACE IS. TELL
ME OR OR THE OF THE CEMETERIES

ADMIN JERRY DOESN'T AGAIN P.
EACH CEMETERY- REGULATED
CEMETERY AGAIN. IS REQUIRED TO
MAINTAIN AN ODOMETER FUN FOR
ALL OF THE SEVEN ONE FUN FOR
THE ENTIRE CEMETERY. OKAY AND
THEN AND THEN JUST FINALLY
WE'RE GOING TO INCREASE THE
COST BUT WHO PAYS AT THE-
SENATOR THE SO TO POTENTIALLY
THE COST TO BURY SOMEBODY COULD
GO UP IF THE AMOUNT OF. THE
COST. THE PRICE OF THAT REAL
ESTATE PROPERTY GOES UP IS THAT
CORRECT HE PUT UP A POTENTIALLY
OF LIKE MANY OTHER INDUSTRIES
IT'S QUITE COMPETITIVE AND IT'S
A BUSINESS DECISION OF EACH
CEMETERY BUT KNOWING THAT IN
SOME CASES IN COMPETITIVE AREAS
THE COST MAY BE. UPDATE JUST
THE PRICE MAY BE ADJUSTED
UPWARD THAT'S WHY THE
LEGISLATION THANKS TO
ASSEMBLYMEMBER GIPSON WILL
INCREASE OVER THREE YEARS SO
THAT IT'S NOT A SHOCK IN THOSE
CASES WHERE IT WILL BE THE
CONSUMER THE PACE. THANK YOU.

EIGHT HUNDRED NUMBER THAT WOULD
LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR CONTINUED
OPPOSITION SHOULD SIMPLY GO TO
EIGHTY SIX ADULT ADS IT IS
CURRENTLY WRITTEN WELL WE
SUPPORT THE REMOVAL OF THE
CURRENT ACCOUNT PROVISION OF
THE BILL WHAT CONCERNS FOR THE
BADLY NEEDED PROVISION BOOK
CLUB FIFTY FIFTH AT A
COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.
PUBLIC WITHIN A RESTAURANT HAD
TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS DURING THE
DURING UNDER THE PRESSURE OF
THE INDOOR DINING WILL
PROTECTION THAN OTHER TYPES OF
PROTECTION BECAUSE YOU'RE MANY
OF OUR MEMBERS DIDN'T RETURN TO
DELIBERATE ON THE THIRTY FIFTH
GOING OFTEN FOR THE FIRST TIME
AND INDEED WERE ABLE TO KEEP
THE BUSINESS ALIVE DURING THE
EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIMES
BECAUSE OF THE PLATFORM-
DELIVERY PLATFORM TO GIVE OUR
MEMBERS MORE FLEXIBILITY AND
CHOICE AND LET US DECIDE WHAT
SERVICES WORK BEST FOR A
BUSINESS THAT. THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
PROVISION IN THE BILL WHICH
WOULD REQUIRE DELIVERY
COMPANIES TO PUBLICLY DISCLOSE
THE CUSTOMER'S EMISSION AND
INFORMATION PAID BY US ON FOR
DELIVERY SERVICES BROUGHT.
EVERYTHING BUT THEY'RE CHOOSING.
WE APPRECIATE MAN BECAUSE BY
THE COMMITTEE AND WE ARE
REVIEWING THEM AND FEEL LIKE
STILL. IS IN A MUCH BETTER
PLACE THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT
WE NEED TO DISCUSS THIS WITH
OUR EIGHT HUNDRED BUT NUMBERS.
YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU MA'AM.
BUT DAVIS. THE NEW CHAIRMAN OF

DAVIS AND I'M ON THE INDUSTRY
RELATIONS TEAM AT CHILI'S AND
MAGGIANO'S RESTAURANTS THANK
YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY TODAY. WE APPRECIATE
THE OFFER WILL MOVE INTO
PERMANENT CAPTAIN BILL WE DO
HAVE CONCERNS WITH THE
COMMISSION DISCLOSURE
PROVISIONS AS CURRENTLY DRAFTED
EIGHTY TWO EIGHTY SIX WOULD
REQUIRE THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
PLATFORMS TO DISCLOSE WHAT UR
RESTAURANTS PAY PLATFORMS IN
COMMISSIONS TO OUR RESTAURANT
CUSTOMERS TO TAKE PLACE THROUGH
THOSE PLATFORMS RECORD BREAKER
DATA PARENT COMPANY COULD BE
USED TO CLASSROOMS IS IT A PAID
A COMMISSION TO PLATFORMS
BECAUSE WE NEGOTIATE PEACE

PLATFORMS WHICH COULD BE EASILY.
PAY A VOLUNTARY AND
CONFIDENTIAL. RIGHT BUSINESS TO
CONTRACTS MAYBE. GERMAN PRIVATE
BETWEEN PARTIES WHO VOLUNTARILY
NEGOTIATE AND AGREE TO THESE
CONTRACTORS. ADDITIONALLY THIS
INFORMATION IS HIGHLY
COMPETITIVE BETWEEN RESTAURANTS
THE PANDEMIC HAVE BEEN
DIFFICULT ENOUGH ON THE
RESTAURANT INDUSTRY AND WE
CANNOT RISK IMPLEMENTING THIS
BILL AFTER THE TUMULTUOUS YEAR
RESTAURANTS HAVE. A BETTER
SOLUTION WOULD BE TO REQUIRE
PLATFORMS TO DISCLOSE TO
CUSTOMERS THAT RESTAURANTS LIKE
CHILI'S AND MAGGIANO'S DO IN
FACT PAY A COMMISSION AS PART
OF THE TRANSACTION. WITHOUT
REQUIRING THE DISCLOSURE OF THE
ACTUAL WORK. THAT BEING SAID I
APPRECIATE THE REASON THAN
THAT- ADDITION OF AMENDMENTS

DISCLOSURE AND IT'LL BE ALL THE
LOOKS UP TO THEM. PLEASE READ

DISCUSSION BACK TO MY
COLLEAGUES IN THE SENATE
CHAMBER COLLEAGUES ANY
QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR CONCERNS
SENATOR MAN FOLLOWED BY.
SENATOR EDMUND. THANK YOU MR
CHAIR- SO I DID HAVE A QUESTION
I GENERALLY THINK THE
TRANSPARENCY BILLS OF THIS KIND
ARE ARE GOOD AND- YOU KNOW
SUPPORT THE GOALS OF THIS BILL-
I DID WONDER WHETHER THE
AMENDMENTS ADDRESSING THE
CONCERNS OF THE GROCERS I. YOU
KNOW HEARD FROM THE GROCERS
EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT SOME OF
THEIR CONCERNS AROUND. THE
PRICING BUT- AS I AS I READ THE
AMENDMENTS TODAY THEY SEEM TO.
ADDRESS ANY CONCERNS AROUND
GROCERS HAVING SALES AND THOSE
PRICES. BEING REFLECTED OR NOT
REFLECTED IN THE FOOD DELIVERY
PLATFORM WEBSITE SO I GUESS MY
QUESTION IS BOOKED TO. MISTER
BROWN AND ALSO TO THE AUTHOR TO
JUST UNDERSTAND BETTER HI
WHETHER THESE AMENDMENTS- DO
ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS OR NOT
AND ALSO WHETHER- THE AUTHOR
BELIEVES THEY DO AND IF THEY
DON'T IF SHE'S WILLING TO
CONSIDER FUTURE AMENDMENTS TO
TRY TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS.
OUT LAID OUT BY THE GROCERS. I
WILL SAY I THINK- I THINK THE
CHAIR REALLY PROVIDE ME WITH A
VERY CLEAR AMENDMENT SO THAT
IT'S CLEAR THAT IT IS THE FOOD
FACILITY SETTING WHATEVER FEET
WHATEVER COST. WHATEVER SPECIAL
THAT THEY WON IT'S JUST CAN'T
BE MANIPULATED OR CHANGED BY
THE APP. IF IF GROCERS AREN'T
HAPPY WITH WITH- WHAT I THOUGHT
WAS VERY GRACEFUL SOLUTION
WE'RE HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO.
CLARIFY I DON'T KNOW I THOUGHT
IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR DEFINITELY
CLEAR THAT WE HAD IT BEFORESO
I'M HOPEFUL THAT- IF THERE'S
STILL WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE
DONE OUR OUR- OUR GOAL. IS
UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE A LOT OF
CASES THAT CAME TO US WHERE
WHERE THE APPLE IS. CHARGING
THE MENU OR SALE PRICE AND
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO TRY TO
AVOID- AND BEFORE- I TURNED TO.
A MISTER BROWN FROM THE CHAIRS
STANDPOINT SINCE WE WERE VERY
ACTIVELY INVOLVED. WITH THE
GRACIOUS CONSENT OF THE AUTHOR
I WILL NOTE. THE INTENT IS. TO
MAKE THE UNLAWFUL LAWFUL
DECISION POINT. WHAT IS POSTED
BY THE FOOD FACILITY. ON THE
MENU WHEN THE FOOD PLATFORMS.
BRO CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE LOUIS BROWN ON BEHALF
OF CALIFORNIA GROCERS
ASSOCIATION A WE'RE STILL
REVIEWING THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS AS WE JUST SAW THEM
LATE LAST EVENING TO SEE HOW
THEY WOULD IMPACT US BUT WE
STILL DON'T SEE THAT THE SCOPE
OF THE BILL NATURALLY FITS
GROCERS THIS IS A BILL DEALING
WITH FOOD DELIVERY OF FOOD AND
BEVERAGES AND IS FOCUSED ON THE
RESTAURANT INDUSTRY OUR
AGREEMENTS WITH OUR THIRD PARTY
FOOD DELIVERY PROVIDERS- ARE
MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE- WE ALREADY
DISCLOSED WHEN PRICES MAY BE
DIFFERENT ON THE APP. AND
FRANKLY JUST DON'T SEE HOW THE
INTENT OF THE BILL FIX OUR
BUSINESS MODEL SO AGAIN WE WILL
REVIEW THE AMENDMENTS BUT AT
THIS POINT WE JUST DON'T SEE
HOW THIS BILL FIX OUR BUSINESS
MODEL OUR AGREEMENTS AND THINK
THAT WE SHOULD BE WRITTEN OUT
OF THIS SPECIFIC SECTION. THE
MANAGER BY SENTIMENT I'LL JUST
SAY THAT GIVEN THE AUTHOR'S
WILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT THESE
AMENDMENTS- THE WAY THAT I READ
THE AMENDMENTS IN THE BILL- I
WILL SUPPORT THIS BILL TO MOVE
IT OUT OF COMMITTEE BECAUSE- IT
DOESN'T CLEAR THE AUTHORS-
TRYING TO MOVE THIS IN A WAY
THAT ADDRESSES THE GROCERS
CONCERNS. THANK YOU THANK YOU
AND I WOULD MOVE TO BUILD A
PROPER TIME THANK YOU SIR-
CENTER ADMIN. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIR- THANKS TO
THE AUTHOR. OF THIS IS THAT. I
GUESS I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.
WHO THIS HELPS. THIS IS
BUSINESS PROFESSIONS AND
CONSUMER PROTECTION SO ARE WE
ARE WE TRYING TO. INITIALLY
APPELLEE PROTECTING THE
BUSINESS ARE WE PROTECTING THE
CONSUMER I GUESS IS MY QUESTION
BECAUSE- LIKE LIKE SO AS A AS A
CONSUMER I KNOW THAT IT IS
BETTER FOR THE RESTAURANT IF
I'M AN ORDER FOOD THAT I GO
THERE AND EAT. IF NOT I CAN GO
THERE AND PICK IT UP. THERE ARE
SOMETIMES THOUGH WHEN I DON'T.
WHEN I'M FEELING A LITTLE LAZY
I DON'T WANT TO GO OUT AND THEN
I KNOW I'M GOING TO FEEL A BIT
MORE AND BUT IT IS A BUSINESS
MODEL. SO AND I DON'T KNOW THAT
I NEED TO KNOW. ALL OF THAT
BECAUSE WHEN I WHEN I DO IT ON
MY APP AND HAVE THEM GO LOOKING
AT OUR APP ONLY WHEN WE USE
THESE AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT'S
GOING TO COST YOU SEE THE
TOTALLY SEE EVERYTHING. WHY DO
I NEED SOMETHING ELSE AT THE
END T TELL ME. WHAT I THINK
WHAT I ALREADY KNOW AND I GUESS
AND I GUESS. WHO WHO CARES WHO
WHO'S BEEN PROTECTED BY THIS.
ACT AND IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.
I ACTUALLY THINK EVERYBODY'S
BEING PROTECTED BY THIS AND
THAT WAS A SET AT THE BILL CAME
TO US THROUGH RESTAURANTS FIRST
WHICH IS INTERESTING- BECAUSE
OF. OF A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY-
WITH THE APPS. WHAT YOU MIGHT
HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES IN
YOU MIGHT. WHAT CAME UP ON
YOUR- ON YOUR PHONE MAY HAVE
BEEN WHAT YOU WERE ACTUALLY
CHARGE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE
WHO HAVE COME AND SAID. WAIT I
ORDERED THIS AND THEN ALL OF A
SUDDEN I HAD ADDITIONAL FEES
CHARGED. AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE
THIS CAME FROM I DON'T KNOW
THAT WHY THERE'S A DISPARITY- I
DON'T KNOW WHY. SO WE CAN GO
THROUGH ALL IT'S ALL ABOUT
TRANSPARENCY IT'S LETTING
CONSUMERS KNOW. WHAT THEY'RE
BEING CHARGED AND WHY THEY'RE
BEING CHARGED THAT. TO LET
CONSUMERS KNOW THAT THE PRICE
THEY'RE PAYING FOR A MENU ITEM.
IS SET BY THE RESTAURANT AT THE
OP DIDN'T. PAD ONTO THAT
BECAUSE WE HAVE WE'VE- WE'VE
FOUND ALL OF THESE CASES RIGHT.
THEY THAT THEY KNOW- IT'S- FOR
THE RESTAURANT- AND TERE ARE A
LOT OF RESTAURANTS COMING OUT.
COBIT WHO ARE LIKE. HEY I YES
WE HAVE TO RELY ON THIS TO KEEP
OUR DOORS OPEN BUT- PEOPLE NEED
TO KNOW HOW MUCH. OR IT'S NOW
THE RESTAURANT'S CHOICE WHETHER
THEY WANT TO DISCLOSE THE
AMOUNT BUT THAT THEY- ARE. ALSO
PAYING A FEE A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T. REALIZE I THINK. HI WHAT
IS GOING ON HERE. AND IT'S ALSO
THE TIPS AND GRATUITIES TO MAKE
SURE. THAT THE DRIVER- YOU
KNOW. GETS THOSE ACTUAL TIPS
AND GRATUITIES AND THAT THE
RESTAURANT IF IT'S A DELIVERY
ORDER. ARE YOU AT THE PICKUP
ORDER THAT THE RESTAURANT. GETS
IT IN NOT THE APP COMPANY. SO
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO. ENSURE
THAT. WHAT YOU WOULD THINK
NORMALLY. IS HAPPENING BECAUSE
THERE ARE NO RULES RIGHT NOW
AROUND IT. AND THAT YOU
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE PAYING
FOR. THAT IT'S CLEAR IT'S UP
FRONT AND YOU HAVE THAT
INFORMATION. RIGHT BUT DID YOU
SEEMS TO BE AN AN INHERENT
ASSUMPTIONS THAT WE SHOULDN'T
BE CHARGED LIKE BECAUSE
SOMEBODY'S GONNA PAY RIGHT SOME
IS GOING TO PAY THAT FOR TO GO
PICK IT UP AND INSURE I MEAN
SURE RIGHT. SO I ASSUME THAT
I'M GOING TO BE CHARGED WHEN I
WHEN I HAVE SOMEBODY BRING MY
FOOD TO MY DOOR. ABSOLUTELY AND
I ACTUALLY THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT- BECAUSE THERE ARE
ALL THESE YOU KNOW THEY THEY
THEY COME UP WITH THE SALES
LIKE YOU'RE GOING TO GET THIS
WE HAVE FREE DELIVERY DELIVERY
IS NOT FREE IT IS IMPORTANT FOR
PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT IF
SOMEBODY'S JOB THAT IS AT YOU
KNOW. WHAT HAPPENS SO WHEN IT'S
FREE FOR US AS A CONSUMER IT'S
BEING CHARGED TO THE RESTAURANT
AND MAYBE WE THINK THAT'S
OBVIOUS RIGHT BUT THERE ARE A
LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE THINKING
THROUGH ALL OF THESE AND WHAT
WE WANT IS PEOPLE TO HAVE THAT
INFORMATION. MAKE AN INFORMED
DECISION I FULLY ANTICIPATE
THAT THIS WILL CONTINUE THIS
IS- THIS KIND OF TRANSPARENCY
IS IN PLACE IN DIFFERENT CITIES
THIS IS JUST ALLOWING EVERYBODY
TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON YES DELIVERIES COST
THAT'S OKAY THAT'S- THE
CONVENIENCE AND HOPEFULLY
PEOPLE REALIZE. IF I GET MY
LITTLE CODE AND I GET FREE
DELIVERY SOMEBODY IS STILL
PAYING THAT DELIVERY IT'S NOT
YOU KNOW AND WHO IS PAYING
INTEREST SO THAT THEY HAVE THAT
INFORMATION. OKAY SO. SO
BASICALLY THE BILL IS TO LET
PEOPLE KNOW. THAT THEY ARE
PAYING FOR DELIVERY. WELL WHAT
SOME PEOPLE DIDN'T REALIZE THEY
THINK THEY'RE PAYING FOR
DELIVERY THEY DON'T REALIZE THE
RESTAURANT IS ALSO PAYING A
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT FOR THE
DELIVERY THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT-
THEY SHOULD KNOW. BASICALLY
THAT WHAT I JUST ORDERED WAS
ACTUALLY WHAT THE RESTAURANT IS
CHARGING SO THEY COULD CHARGE
MORE FOR A MENU ITEM THAT IS
OUT ON DELIVERY BECAUSE THEY'RE
PAYING MORE BUT THE RESTAURANT
SETTING THAT. BECAUSE RIGHT NOW
SOME OF THE APPS HAVE A CHARGE
ON ON ACTUAL ITEMS THEY KNOW
THAT THE EVERYBODY WILL KNOW
NOW THIS THIS IS A GRATUITY IT
GOES TO MY DRIVER OR THE PERSON
SERVICING ME. IN ADDITION TO
WHATEVER ELSE THEIR PAIN AT
THIS DOESN'T FULFILL THE
OBLIGATION OF THEM BEING PAID
WE JUST THINK YOU KNOW THIS IS
BEEN A VERY- HIT IN PROCESS AND
UNFORTUNATELY THESE COMPANIES
HAVE BEEN CAUGHT EVERY STEP OF
THE WAY TRYING TO. GET MORE
MONEY FOR THEM WHICH I GOT BUT
LIKE TRYING TO PULL A FAST ONE
WHETHER IT'S ON THE DRIVERS FOR
THE RESTAURANTS FOR THE
CONSUMERS AND WE JUST THINK
THAT THE TRANSPARENCY WILL
ALLOW PEOPLE TO FEEL
COMFORTABLE USING IT WILL KNOW.
WHAT IS HAPPENING. THANK LET ME
JUST NOTE IN CASE IT HELPS SOME
OF MY COLLEAGUES THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WAS GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO
ACCEPT TO ACCEPT AN AMENDMENT
AS TO THE DISCLOSURES. WHERE
THE DISCLOSURE TO THE CONSUMER
SIMPLY STATES THAT THERE WILL
BE THERE THERE IS A CHARGE TO
THE FOOD FACILITY FOR THIS
PARTICULAR SERVICE. AND ONLY IF
THE FOOD FACILITY DIRECTS THAT
MORE DETAIL BE PROVIDED BY THE
FOOD DELIVERY PLATFORM IS MORE
DETAILS. REGARDING THE
ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE FOOD
FACILITY AND THE DELIVERY
PLATFORM. PROVIDED SO ONLY IF
THE FOOD FACILITY. DIRECTS THAT
THE DIGITAL INFORMATION BE
PROVIDED WILL BE PROVIDED BY
THE AS A DISCLOSURE BY THE
DELIVERY PLATFORM. CENTRE BACK
FOR. EXAGGERATE CLEAR FILES FOR
MY COLLEAGUE OF MINE IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE WERE
CASES WHERE PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY
WERE PAYING TIPS THAT WE'RE
GOING TO THE DRIVERS AND
ACTUALLY WAS GOING TO THE
COMPANY ITSELF RIGHT NOW YEAH
THAT'S ONE THING THAT WILL BE
THAT PREVENTED BY THIS BILL A.
N. AND ALSO AT THAT BELIEVES
THE BILL WILL CAN IMPROVE
ECOSYSTEM ESSENTIALLY WHERE THE
RESTAURANTS WERE- AT THE POINT
WHERE THE SERVICE WAS NOT
PROFITABLE ESSENTIALLY FOR THEM
AND SO. THE HOPE IS THAT
TRANSPARENCY WILL ALSO MAKE THE
ECO SYSTEM WORK FOR EVERYONE.
YEAH ESPECIALLY THE MOM AND POP
RESTAURANTS I MEAN I. GOT YOU
KNOW WE'VE WE'VE BEEN TALKING
TO RESTAURANTS ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES THAT THEY'RE FACING-
OBVIOUSLY IF YOU'RE A BIG CHAIN
LKE MCDONALD'S YOU CAN YOU
KNOW THAT FIRST OF ALL THEY
HAVE A BETTER YEAH. THEY HAVE A
BETTER FEE SCHEDULE BUT THEY
CAN ALSO NEGOTIATE THIS
THEMSELVES THEY CAN TAKE CARE
OF IT BUT WHEN YOU'RE A MOM AND
POP THAT. HAD TO RELY ON
DELIVERY SERVICES AND NOW JUST
WANT YOUR CUSTOMERS TO
UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE DEALING WITH THE OTHER
THING IS ALSO ON A PICK UP
ORDER IF YOU CALL YOU CAN CALL
THROUGH GRUBHUB FOR EXAMPLE IN
ACTUALLY GO PICK UP YOUR ORDER
YOURSELF. I THINK MOST PEOPLE
ASSUME IF I WRITE A TIP IT'S TO
THE RESTAURANT WELL THAT'S NOT
THE LAW RIGHT NOW YOU KNOW THAT
YOU WRITE A TIP IN THE APP
COMPANY TO TAKE IT SO WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE. THAT THAT.
BELONGS TO WHO YOU THINK YOU'RE
GIVING IT TO AND EVERYTHING
ABOUT THIS BILL IS NOT TO
PUNISH ANYONE IT IS TO PROVIDE
CONSUMERS. BUSINESSES AND-
DRIVERS WITH THE MOST AMOUNT OF
INFORMATION AND PROTECTION
ABOUT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON SO
THAT THEY CAN MAKE INFORMED
DECISIONS. THANK YOU ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR CONCERNS.

ENSURES THAT FOOD OVER

INCLUDE CLEAR INFORMATION ON
ALL POSSIBLE CHARGES OR FEES
THAT MAY BE INCURRED ON TO THE
RESTAURANT RIGHT CLICK
INFORMATION LISTING WEBSITE
WEBSITES WE PARTNER WITH THE
FOOD DELIVERY PLATFORM. HOWEVER
AS I KNOW WE JUST HAD A
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ONLINE
ECOSYSTEM FOR SMALL RESTAURANTS
AND I JUST WANNA POINT OUT WHY
THIS BILL IS NECESSARY FOR THE
CONSUMER AND THE RESTAURANT
FROM THE CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE
IF YOU WERE TO GO ON A LISTING
WEB SITES A YELP OR GOOGLE. YOU
WOULD HOPEFULLY BE CALLING A
NUMBER WITHOUT AND WITHOUT
INCURRING MORE COSTS ONTO THE
RESTAURANT YOUR FAVORITE
RESTAURANT BUT THAT'S NOT THE
CASE OF THE PRACTICE THAT WE
ARE TRYING TO LEGISLATE. IN
EARLIER THIS YEAR YEP ITSELF
WHICH HAS A NEUTRAL POSITION AS
BILL ACTUALLY ENDED THE
PRACTICE OF CALL FORWARDING
BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE
SO SHE WITH THIS ANYMORE AND I
WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WHY
THE DISCLOSURES ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO. IS THAT- THIS IS
AN EXAMPLE THIS ONE PAGES TWO
SIDED DOCUMENT IS EXAMPLE OF A
CONTRACT AT A RESTAURANT ENTERS
AND IT EVEN AS ON WORKS IN MUCH
THE POLICY IS VERY CONFUSING
AND- DOES NOT TALK ABOUT THE
PROJECT ACTS OF CALL
FORWARDING. AND IN A STREET
THAT HAS RAZOR THIN MARGINS AND
HAS REALLY SUFFERED DURING THE
PANDEMIC ESPECIALLY OUR API
BUSINESSES WHICH- HAVE REALLY
SUFFERED DURING THIS PANDEMIC
IT'S REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT.
THIS IS WHY IT'S NECESSARY TO
PROTECTION FOR THE SMALL
BUSINESSES AND CONSUMERS- AND
THIS IS WHY WE'RE HAPPY TO HAVE
THE SUPPORT OF THE SOUL CAN.

RESULT IN ORDERS. HOWEVER
GRAHAM HAD STRONGLY OPPOSES THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT REQUIRING
THE DISCLOSURE OF PHONE NUMBERS
ON THIRD PARTY WITHIN MY-
CERTAINLY BELIEVES IN A FUTURE
WHERE THERE IS A VIBRANT AND
GROWING RESTAURANT COMMUNITY
AND THERE IS A BALANCE THAT IN
PERSON IN THE LIBRARY OPTIONS
FOR THEIR TEACHERS YOU'RE PART
OF THAT COMMUNITY WORKING WITH
AND ALONGSIDE A RESTAURANT
SUPPORT THEIR BROWS. SHE GOT A
CONTRACT WITH RUSSIA TO CALL
CALIFORNIA IN THE COUNTRY TO
PROVIDE. PHONE ORDERING SERVICE.
RAPID BILL REQUIRES PROPER
INSULIN TWO PHONE NUMBERS FOR
THE REST. UNIQUE PHONE. FOR THE
THIRD CONTE. TO PROVIDE. THE
RESTAURANT DIRECTION AND- E.ON
BEING CONFUSING FOR CONSUMERS.
I'M FRIGHTENED REQUIRE WOULD
HURT ABILITY FOR RESTAURANTS TO
RUN THEIR BUSINESS IN THE STATE
HE SAID. WE PROVIDE IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH RESTAURANTS
AND THEY'RE ABLE TO SEE THEIR
ORDERS- AND WHO GENERATED BY
IMPLANT CUSTOM PHONE ORDER A
CUSTOM PHONE NUMBERS AND ABLE
WE ALL TIME MARKETING. AND
ALLOW FOR A RESTAURANT TO HAVE
A BETTER IDEA WHICH MARKETING
TOOLS WORK BY GENERATING THEIR
ORDERS AND WHICH ONES DO NOT.
THE NEGATIVE IMPACT OF THE BILL
GO BEYOND THE ORDER GENERATION
RESTAURANT CONTRACTOR THAT TO
PROVIDE SERVICES FOR A REASON
PRETTY QUICKLY AND ESPECIALLY
RIGHT NOW WE HEAR HOW THE
SERVICE PARTICULARLY CRITICAL
BECAUSE OF THE UNPRECEDENTED
SHORTAGE OF HOSPITALITY
STAFFERS. THE SERVICE IS ALSO
AN IMPORTANT NEED TO OVERCOMING
LANGUAGE BARRIERS FOR
RESTAURANT OWNERS AROSS
CALIFORNIA MAKE NO MISTAKE IF
THIS LEGISLATION WERE TO PASS
IT WOULD DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACT MANY SMALL AN IMMIGRANT
OWNED RESTAURANT. WE'VE BEEN
ENGAGING WITH THE SPONSOR FOR
SOMETIME AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE
CELL NEED MEANINGFUL PROGRESS.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. AND
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
CONVERSATION. THANK YOU. MR
DIMITRI IF YOU'RE ON THE LINE.
YEAH GOOD MORNING CHAIR AND
MEMBERS WHEN IT CAME. CIOS AND
SENIOR EXECUTIVES THAT PROMOTES
THE GROWTH OF INNOVATION
ECONOMY AND REPRESENTS OVER
EIGHTY COMPANIES AND FOUR
MILLION EMPLOYEES. WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AB FOURTEEN
FORTY FOUR AS WE FIND IT IS
PROBLEMATIC FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
AS REPORTED BY A. B. TWENTY ONE
FORTY NINE DOLLARS FROM LAST
YEAR. WE DELIVERY COMPANIES
HAVE CONTRACTS WITH ALL OF OUR
RESTAURANT PARTNERS PRIOR TO
LISTING THEM ON OUR SERVICE.
REQUIREMENTS OF A. B. FOURTEEN
FORTY FOUR THAT PRESCRIBE THE
EXACT TAPING CONTENT OF
ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES THE
COMPANY NEED TO MAKE WHAT THEY
NEED CONTRACTS. TOO FAR INTO A
REALLY PRESCRIPTIVE ADDITIONAL
DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS ONLY
SERVE TO MAKE THE PROCESS OF
JOINING OUR PLATFORMS MORE.
DRAWN OUT AND BURN THEM FOR
RESTAURANTS. NEED TO BE COVERED
BY BRICK RANGE OF SERVICES
AVAILABLE TO RESTAURANTS YOUR
MEMBERS PLATFORMS THEY'RE NOT A
ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH.
RATHER TAILORED TO EACH FRENCH.
RESTAURANTS EDITED COLLABORATE
ON MARKETING COLLATERAL
DETERMINED THE APPROPRIATE.
NEIGHBORHOODS TO OPEN NEW
LOCATIONS AND EVEN SEE HOW
PRICING AFFECTS CONSUMER DEMAND
ENTERTAINMENT RESTAURANT.
STAFFING IT HAS STORED ABOUT
THIS COULD ULTIMATELY COST OUR
PARTNERS BIBLE ORDERS AND
REVENUE. FOR THESE REASONS WE.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOU KNOW
ABOUT THANK YOU. MODERATOR ARE
THERE ANY OTHER WITNESSES
WAITING TO TESTIFY ON THE LINE.
MISTER CHAIR I DO NOT BELIEVE
THERE ARE. THANK YOU LET'S
BRING THE CONVERSATION BACK TO
MY COLLEAGUES IN THE SENATE
CHAMBER COLLEAGUES ANY
QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR CONCERNS
CENTER NEWMAN. THANK YOU MR
ASSEMBLYMAN LEADS. WANT TO
COMMEND YOU FOR THIS BILL- I
USED TO WORK FOR A LONG TIME IN
THE INTERNET- AND- YOU KNOW
FOLLOW THE PROGRESSION THE
GROWTH OF SEARCH RELATED
COMPANIES LIKE GOOGLE. AND HAVE
BEEN CONTINUE PRESS OVER THE
YEARS AT. THE POWER OF THE
INTERNET PROVIDE SEARCH
CAPABILITIES BUT BUT THE SKILL
IN WHICH COMPANIES- MEDICATION
THAT FIND NEW OPPORTUNITIES TO
EXTRACT. REVENUES FROM SEARCH
THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE- AND SO
WHAT YOU'RE RESPONDING TO DO
HERE BY WAY OF PROVIDING
TRANSPARENCY AND DISCLOSURE- I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY
FOR. SOME OF THE RESTAURANT
CATEGORIES THAT HAVE BEEN
MENTIONED- GROUP THE RESTAURANT
BUSINESS IS A CHALLENGING
BUSINESS- EIGHTY EIGHT SMALL
MOM AND POP RESTAURANT IS.
UNDER A TON OF PRESSURE EVERY
DAY SIMPLY TO MAKE IT WORK AND
SO THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXTEND
THEIR BUSINESS THROUGH THE
INTERNET THROUGH THE OFFER OF A
PARTNER- IS A COMPELLING OFFER
BUT IT IT QUITE OFTEN DOESN'T.
YIELD THE BENEFITS. THAT ARE
PROMISED TOWARD MORE POORLY
UNDERSTOOD SO TO THE EXTENT
THAT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
SOME RESEARCH BUT SOME MOON
CONSEILS BILL. IS PROVIDE
TRANSPARENCY IN A PROPER
DISCLOSURE I THINK THAT'S A
GOOD THING- BUT I COMMEND MANY
SERVICES FOR THE FOR THE VALUE
THAT THEY PROVIDE BUT IN THIS
IMPORTANT AT THE RESTAURANTS
AND THEIR CONSUMERS ARE FULLY
AWARE OF WHAT- THE NUMBER THEY
ARE CALLING INCIDENT AND WHAT
THAT ENTAILS THAT SHE'LL BE IN
A CLASS WITH THE BILL TODAY
GLAD TO MOVE IT WHEN IT'S
APPROPRIATE- AND I WOULD ASK
YOU. ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR IF
THAT'S POSSIBLE. I LOVE TO
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO NEWMAN
I SEE. US AND FAN. THANK YOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
AND- SOME REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD I
THINK WHAT YOU KNOW IF THERE'S
A CERTAINLY LOVE THE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE
RESTAURANTS AND THE- AND THE-
DELIVERY COMPANY AREN'T- APPS.
OR IS ASIAN BUT WE SHOULD THINK
ABOUT THE CONSUMER TO AM I MEAN
BY THAT IS THAT. CERTAINLY IS A
CONSUMER I'D LIKE TO ACTUALLY
HAVE SOME CHOICE LIKE WHO I
SUPPORT WITH MY SPENDING
DOLLARS AND I THINK MANY
CONSUMERS FEEL THAT WAY. AND
SO- I THINK BLACK CONSUMERS
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT IF THEY
GO TO A RESTAURANT AND THEY
MAKE A CALL AND THE CALL
NUMBER- WHERE THE MONEY IS
GOING IN THE SENSE THAT IF THEY
GIVE A TIP OR SOME OTHER THING
IS IT WHO'S GOING TO WRITE AND
I THINK THE- PEOPLE HAVE
PERCEPTIONS OF WHAT I THINK
IT'S GOING BUT IT'S NOT GOING
WHERE PEOPLE PERCEIVE- THAT-
THEN- THAT CAN BE A BIT
DECEPTIVE SO. I DO APPRECIATE
THIS EFFORT AT TRANSPARENCY-
FEATURE YOUR WORK AT TO TRY TO
BE SURE THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT'S GOING TO WORK SMOOTHLY.
BUT ALSO CERTAINLY IS A SMALL
BUSINESS OWNER APPRECIATE
BECAUSE OFTENTIMES SMALL
BUSINESS DON'T HAVE LEVERAGE I
THINK MOST IMPORTANTLY IS THAT-
CONSUMERS. ACTUALLY- KIDS OF
PEOPLE THEY WANT SUPPORT AND
THEY CHOOSE NOT TO THEY AN
CHOOSE NOT TO BUT- LET'S LET'S
GIVE BE SURE TO CONSUMER HAVE
SAYS TRANSPARENCY CHOICE. AND
THAT SO THANK YOU. SERVER THANK
YOU I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT TO
YOU KNOW DO YOU TAKE THE
CONCERN SERIOUSLY OF TECHNICAL
TERMS RAISED I DO APPRECIATE
AND HAVE A LOT OF CONVERSATION
WITH THE AUTHOR AND APPRECIATE
THE MINUTES THAT YOU'VE MADE-
TO- WORK TO CLARIFY A LOT INTO
TWO MOVIES BEFORE SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER AGAIN THANK
YOU. IN DECEMBER THE TALK TO ME
TALK TALK ME THROUGH THE
ENFORCEMENT COMPONENT OF THIS
RIGHT SO IS THAT THE CHARGES
ONLY HAPPENED IF- PURCHASES
MADE. HOW DO WE TRACK THAT HAD
WE KNOWN HOW IS THAT IMPORTANT
YEAH ACCORDING TO GRUBHUB
ITSELF THEY ALREADY THEY
ALREADY ARE ABLE TO WERE WERE
ABLE TO- RECORD RECORD PHONE
CALLS ABLE TO TRACK THAT AND
THERE IS A MECHANISM IN WHICH
BUSINESS OWNERS CAN DISPUTE
SAID CALLS RIGHT TO SAY I
CALLED YOUR BURGER RESTAURANT
AND I JUST THREW THE BEFOREHAND
WHEN THAT THIS WAS A PRACTICE
ON YELP- AND I CALLED A GROUP
OF PHONE NUMBER AND I SAID HEY.
WHEN YOU WHEN YOU GUYS CLOSE
TODAYYOU KNOW AND I JUST HUNG
UP AFTER THAT THERE COULD BE
COULD AND THERE ARE ALLEGED
ALLEGATIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
NOW WHERE THERE ARE DUBIOUS
CHARGES LIKE THAN THE
RESTAURANTS THE RESTAURANTS CAN
OF COURSE GO THROUGH THE
RECORDS AND CHECK YOU CAN ALSO
IMAGINE A SMALL MOM PA PLAN A
SMALL MOM AND POP RSTAURANT
SITUATION HOW ONEROUS AND
PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GO TO
CATCH THOSE THINGS. AND ALSO
SOMETHING TO MENTION IS THIS
CALL FORWARDING HAD BEEN LUMPED
UNDER WHAT THEY HAD CALLED A
MARKETING COMMISSION OUR
MARKETING FEE THAT IS SINGLE
HIGHEST COMMISSION INDIANS
HIGHER ORDERING- JUST FOR
REFERENCE BECAUSE I HAVE THE
MODEL BILL THAT COMES FROM
REPUBLIC SO. MARKETING WAS 20%
OF EVERY ORDER DELIVERY WAS 10%
ONLINE ORDERING LINK WAS ONE
DOLLAR AND THE MICROSITE WHICH
NOTHING IS ONE DOLLAR JUST FLAT
FEE MARKETING ITSELF IN THE
CONTRACTS IN THE CONTRACT THEY
GIVE TO. THE RESTAURANTS WHICH
IS IN VERY TINY FONT CAN EVEN
SEE IT FROM HERE- HAS A VERY
VAGUE MENTION OF CALL
FORWARDING AT BEST I COULD
ARGUE AND IT'S NOT VERY CLEAR
THAT THAT HAPPENS RIGHT SO WHEN
YOU'RE HOARDING SET TEN DOLLAR
BURGER AND 20% OF THAT IS ON
MARKETING THIS TWO DOLLARS
RIGHT THERE AND I HAD A LOT OF
THE MARGIN SO THERE ARE
MECHANISMS IN WHICH THEY
ALREADY CLAIM TO HAPPEN AND
ALSO BROKE UP SAYS AS A MATTER
OF POLICY. THEY DON'T CHARGE
BUT HE DIDN'T THEY DON'T CHARGE
PHONE CALLS. THAT DON'T RESULT
IN ORDER AND WE'RE GONNA FIND
OUT NOW. THE TO THE CHAIR ARE
YOU ARE YOU THEN IS THE IS THE-
THAT THAT. PER MARKET. THAT
ONLY FOR THE CALL FORWARDING OR
OR IS THAT NOT. IS THAT 20% IN
MARKETING NOT ALSO OTHER FORMS
OF ADVERTISING AND LISTING OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SO THE 20%
MARKETING FEE INCLUDES ALMOST
EVERY ANYTHING IN ITS LEGAL
DEFINITION OF THE TERMS IT
COULD BE EVERYTHING FROM ONLINE
ADVERTISEMENTS PHONE CALL EVEN
USER AT IT COULD BE ANYTHING
BUT CALL FORWARDING IS ALSO
LISTED THERE SO IF YOU ARE A
SMALL BUSINESS OWNER. YOU GOT
TO REALLY DISSECT WHAT THAT
CHARGES AND WHAT THAT MEANS
OKAY SO IT'S NOT THIS TWENTY
FIRST IS NOT 20% MARKUP FOR
THAT CALL FORWARDING. IT TWENTY
SEVEN MARKETING AND THAT CALL
ORWARDING COULD BE A COMPONENT
OF THAT 20% YES JUST TO BE
CLEAR THIS BILL DOES NOT BAN
THE PRACTICE- CALL FORWARDING.
SO LONG AS IT RESULTS IN. AN
UNPAID ORDER AND ALSO YOU KNOW
A LISTING WHICH THEY COULD
STILL DO IT SO LONG AS THE
ACCURATE INFORMATION ACCURATE
PHONE NUMBER. THANK YOU SENATOR
SIR MELINDA'S. THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN- I HAVE A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS SO WHAT YOU DO YOU
TALKED ABOUT- SPACE A CUSTOMER
CALLS AND ASKS WHAT TIME DO YOU
CLOSE TODAY AND THEY HNG UP
AND THEN A RESTAURANT COULD BE
CHARGED FOR THAT CALL SO. I
GUESS I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
THE LOGISTICS OF THIS HOW DOES
A RESTAURANT OWNER IF THEY ARE
GOING TO GO THROUGH THE CALLS
AND THE CHARGES HOW WOULD THEY
KNOW THAT A CALL. THAT SOMEONE
CALLED IN AND ONLY ASKED WHAT
TIME THEY CLOSE AS OPPOSED TO
SOMEBODY CALLED IN AND PLACED
AN ORDER. IT'S A GREAT QUESTION
I DON'T KNOW IF MY WITNESS
RECESS STILL ON OR ANY OF MY
WITNESSES IF THEY WANT
EXPLAINED ON. THE LIKE DID A
LOGISTICAL PART I WOULDN'T KNOW
AS NOT A RESTAURANT OWNER BUT I
DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE STILL ON
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW. A
RESTAURANT OWNER COULD DISCERN
BETWEEN A CALL THEY SHOULD E
CHARGED FOR IN A CALL THAT
PERHAPS THEY SHOULD NOT RIGHT
AND I MEAN JUST TO PRACTICE IF
THEY SAY YEAH THAT'S THE
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM IS MOST THE
TIME IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO
DISCERN- I DON'T KNOW IF
THEY'RE- STILL ON. WELL MY I
GUESS MA'AM PERHAPS WHILE WE
WAIT FOR HER IF SHE'S GOING TO
COME BACK ON THE LINE- I READ
THROUGH THE CONTRACT. AND I
THINK THERE'S A SUGGESTION THAT
PERHAPS WITH THE SMALLER
RESTAURANTS- WHO DON'T HAVE A
STAFF ATTORNEY THAT THEY'RE
UNABLE TO DECIPHER YOU KNOW THE
LEGALESE WITHIN THAT CONTRACT
BUT I I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS
THE BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS
COMMITTEE IN SO. YOU KNOW
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON
AND I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT
IT'S APPROPRIATE TO SUGGEST
THAT BECAUSE IT'S A SMALL
BUSINESS AND THEY DON'T HAVE A
STAFF ATTORNEY THAT THEY'RE NOT
STILL REQUIRED- AND BOUND TO.
UNDERSTAND THE CONTRACT THAT
THEY'RE SIGNING PERHAPS RUN IT
BY YOU KNOW SOMEONE SO THAT
THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE AGREEING
TO BECAUSE IT IS A CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE TWO PARTIES- SO I'M
WONDERING IS YOUR WITNESS IS
COMING BACK. ANYONE BY HE
WITNESS IS STILL ON THE LINE MR
DURAN. WITNESS TO RESERVE. OKAY
YES HELLO HI- SO ACTUALLY- WE
HAVE NO WAY OF TELLING YOU KNOW
WELL AT THE TIME OF THE CALL
WHETHER YOU KNOW IT'S A CALL
COMING IN FROM BUT PROBABLY NOT
AND YOU KNOW THERE'S DIFFERENT
STAFF WORKING IN YOU KNOW WE
JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME AND AN
EFFORT. TO OKAY THING WHICH THE
CALLS AND THEN YOU KNOW. WHERE
YOUR RANKING ABOUT. HI WE WOULD
USE CHARGES OR- THANK YOU THANK
YOU MA'AM I APPRECIATE YOUR-
PROVIDING CLARITY SO YOU SEE
THE PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING
HERE IS THAT YOU'RE SAYING
SOMEONE COULD YOU KNOW THEY
THEY MAY BE GETTING CHARGED FOR
BECAUSE THEY SHOULDN'T BE
GETTING CHARGED FOR BUT IT
DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THERE'S ANY
WAY FOR A RESTAURANT TO- OR ONE
OF THESE PLATFORMS TO BE ABLE
TO SAY. YES THIS WAS A
LEGITIMATE CHARGER NO THIS
WASN'T I DON'T KNOW HOW. I YEAH
HOW YOU SOLVE THAT PROBLEM BUT
YEAH- IS THAT I'M IN. A SEVEN
EXCUSE ME MA'AM IF SOME WOMEN
ONLY IF YOU COULD. ADDRESS
THAT. I THINK YOU HAVE A VERY.
IT'S A VALID CONCERN ABOUT IT
BUT I THINK WITHIN THE SCOPE OF
THE COMMITTEE AS WELL AS
BAPTIZING SMALL BUSINESSES AND
IN A PERFECT WORLD WE ARM
CONSUMERS AND BUSINESSES WITH
THE MOST INFORMED BUT THE MOST
INFORMATION LIKE MOST INFORMED
DECISIONS RIGHT BUT WE KNOW IN
REAL LIFE AND IN PRACTICE THAT
DOES NOT EXIST AND ESPECIALLY
EXISTS FOR SMALL BUSINESSES AS
YOU HEARD WHO. YOU KNOW RIGHT
NOW ARE HAVING STAFFING
DIFFICULTIES ARE HAVING
DIFFICULTY BEING UP WITH THE
ONLINE ENVIRONMENT AS WELL SO
IT'S NOT A PERFECT ENVIRONMENT
AND HASN'T EVEN MENTIONED YOU
KNOW THERE IS A BOUNTY THERE IS
A THERE IS A TEMPTATION TO GO
ONLINE PLATFORM SURVIVE AND WE
THRIVE BUT PERHAPS A LOT OF
TIMES THEY ARE SIGNING UP FOR
THEY ARE GETTING EXACTLY THE
SIGN UP FOR AND THAT'S THE CASE
A LOT OF BUSINESSES THAT GO ON.
THIRD PARTY PLATFORMS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THAT'LL HAVE
MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU
SENATOR. I SEE NO OTHER MIKES
UP. SO WITH SOME REMEMBER LEE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. I
APPRECIATE THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION AND WE- HOPE THAT WE
CAN BE A PASS THIS BILL. THEY
ARE SMALL BUSINESSES ARE
DEFINITELY STILL HURTING. AND I
DO THINK THAT- REMOTE ORDERING
WHETHER BE TELEPHONICALLY OR
DIGITAL IS HERE TO STAY FOR THE
NUMEROUS CONSUMERS GAIN MORE
MORE USED TO IT. SO WE SHOULD
BE EQUIPPING CONSUMERS AND
SMALL BUSINESSES ALIKE WITH AS
MUCH INFORMATION TRANSPARENCY
AS POSSIBLE. AND AGAIN THANK.
THE CHAIR FOR HIS. AMENDMENTS
AND DISCLOSURE BECAUSE I DO
THINK THE- THE SUGGESTION
FOURTEEN POINT. FOURTEEN POINT
FIVE IS GREAT BECAUSE I'M A
CURRENT CONTRACT LANGUAGE MUST
BE IN POINT. SIX OR SOMETHING
BECAUSE IF. IF IT NOW SAYS HIS
POINT TEN IT'S MUCH LESS OF
THAT SO THANK YOU SO MUCH AND-
