SENATOR CORTESE AND COMMITTEE

A RETIRED TEACHER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA RETIRED TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION. I RETIRED FROM THE
REAL LINDA SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
NINETEEN NINETY ONE. ENJOYING
THE CALIFORNIA STATE TEACHERS
RETIREMENT SYSTEM AFTER A TOTAL
OF THIRTY EIGHT YEARS OF WORKING
WITH CHILDREN IN KINDERGARTEN
AND FIRST GRADE. SPENDING TIME
WORKING WITH THE YOUNGEST
LEARNERS WAS SO FULFILLING AND
GAVE ME A SENSE OF PURPOSE I
LOVED EVERY MINUTE. AS A RETIREE
I ENJOY WORKING WITH OTHER

. CHECK YOUR EARLY THE IMPACT MY
RETIREMENT ALLOWANCE WILL
PROVIDE ME BOTH NOW AND IN THE
UNCERTAIN FUTURE. AS A RETIRED
TEACHER I CERTAINLY DIDN'T ENTER
THIS PROFESSION TO BECOME
WEALTHY. BUT THE FACT THAT I
HAVE A LITTLE CERTAINTY OF
PURCHASING POWER. THROUGH THE
CAL STIRS SUPPLEMENTAL BENEFIT
MAINTENANCE ACCOUNT GIVES ME A
SENSE OF SECURITY THAT I WILL BE
PROTECTED FROM INFLATION WHICH
IS TAKING MORE AND MORE OF MY
INCOME. SB EIGHT SIX EIGHT WILL
PROVIDE RETIREES LIKE ME. WITH A
LITTLE RETIREMENT SECURITY BY
INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF
PURCHASING POWER THAT WE RECEIVE
BASED ON WHEN WE RETIRE. FOR THE
OLDEST OF US. 80% OF WHOM ARE
WOMEN. WE COULD RECEIVE UP
21100% PURCHASING POWER WHICH
COULD MEAN WE WON'T HAVE TO
STRUGGLE AS MUCH TO DECIDE
WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO SPEND OUR
INCOME ON MEDICATION RENT OR
OTHER ESSENTIALS. JUST THIS YEAR
MY MEDICARE COSTS WENT UP BY
FOURTEEN POINT 9% HOW AM I ON A
FIXED INCOME COUPLED WITH HAVING
MY HARD EARNED SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS ELIMINATED. BY THE
SOCIAL SECURITY OFFSETS SUPPOSED
TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THESE COSTS

THINGS THAT YOU DREAD- I GOT A
LETTER FROM MY MOTHER THAT I HAD

TRUE. ABOUT NOT GETTING THE 2%
BECAUSE SHE IS A RETIRED
KINDERGARTEN AND FIRST GRADE
TEACHER WHO IS ON STIRRERS AND
SHE'S AT THAT POINT IN HER LIFE

BIRTHDAYS AGAIN SO SHE'S AT
NINETY SEVEN AND A HALF AND
HOPEFULLY SHE'LL LIVE TO BE IN
THE HUNDRED BUT I KNOW EXACTLY
HOW MUCH ON A FIXED INCOME MMHM

FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE IN IT I
THINK THE REAL ISSUE IS THAT.
THE RETIREMENT SYSTEMS ROAD

FOURTEEN- IF YOU'RE PREPARED TO

YOU- MISTER CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO START BY
THANKING THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH MY STAFF
SPONSORS ON THIS BILL. TODAY I'M
PRESENTING SP ONE THOUSAND TWO
WHICH LOOKS TO ADDRESS THE
SHORTAGE OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS IN THE WORKERS
COMP SYSTEM THIS BILL WILL ALLOW
LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL WORKERS
LCSW TO BE ADDED TO OUR STATE'S
WORKERS COMPENSATION MEDICAL
PROVIDER NETWORK. THE US IS
FACING A MENTAL AND BEHAVIOR
HEALTH CRISIS ESPECIALLY AMONGST
FRONTLINE WORKERS. LIKE FIRST
RESPONDERS HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
GROCERY STORE EMPLOYEES AND
OTHER ESSENTIAL WORKERS THIS
CRISIS WAS EXACERBATED BY THE
STRESSES OF HOPE IN NINETEEN
OTHER STATES LIKE TEXAS AND NEW
YORK HAVE MOBILIZED THEIR LCSW
IS TO HELP FILL THE NEED FOR
MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIANS.
ACCORDING TO THE WORKERS
COMPENSATION INSURANCE RATING
BUREAU THERE APPROXIMATELY SIX
HUNDRED THOUSAND WORKERS
COMPENSATION CLAIMS FILED EACH
YEAR HOWEVER CALIFORNIA HAS ONLY
SIXTEEN THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED
LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST AND FIVE
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
FOUR PSYCHIATRISTS IN THE ENTIRE
STATE. CLEARLY THERE ARE NOT
ENOUGH MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS TO ADDRESS THE
BEHAVIOR HEALTH NEEDS OF
CALIFORNIANS IN INJURED WORKERS
BY INCLUDING LCS W'S IN THE- M.
P. PROVIDER LISTINGS- THE
NETWORK ACCESS CAN BE EXPANDED
TO INCLUDE UP TO TWENTY NINE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY
SIX LCSW C. TO HELP MEET THE
NEEDS. HERE TODAY I HAVE WITH ME
LISA AND BACK FOR DIRECTOR OF
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS FOR
COVENTRY AND BLUE AND A BOARD
MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION OF PAYERS
ADMINISTRATORS AND NETWORKS. AND
HERE ARE MONTEREY AN LCSW- OF
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
SOCIAL WORKERS CALIFORNIA
CHAPTER SO WHAT RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME. THANK YOU
SENATOR WILL MOVE ON THEN TO
LEASE AND BECKFORD DONE THE
FIRST LEAD WITNESS YOU MAY
PROCEED HI GOOD AFTERNOON AND
THANK YOU SENATOR FOR THAT LOVE
LOVELY INTRODUCTION- I WOULD
URGE YOUR AYE VOTE ON THIS
LEGISLATION S. B. ONE ZERO ZERO
TWO- AS THE SENATOR MENTIONED- I
AM FROM. THE OF COVENTRY WHICH
IS PART OF THE AND LIGHT AND
MITCHELL FAMILY OF COMPANIES-
BUT I'M ALSO HERE REPRESENTING
THE PACIFIC REGION OF THE
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF PAYERS
ADMINISTRATORS AND NETWORK- OUR
ORGANIZATION IS THE LARGEST
ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES
MEDICAL PROVIDER NETWORKS IN THE
WORKERS COMPENSATION SYSTEM. I'M
NOT JUST IN CALIFORNIA BUT IN
OTHER STATES AS WELL- AND WE'VE
BEEN DOING THIS FOR MANY MANY
YEARS. AND I AM BILL JUST TELL
YOU OFFHANDEDLY FROM MY OWN
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAVE
STRUGGLED AS A NETWORK PROVIDER
TO GET THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF
MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDERS INTO OUR
NETWORKS TO HELP INJURED
WORKERS- I'M NORMALLY ONE WOULD
THINK IF ONE WAS ON THE PAYER
SIDE OR THE INSURANCE SIDE THAT.
I WOULD STAND UP HERE AND SAY OH
WE'RE OPPOSED TO ANYTHING THAT'S
GOING TO COST MOM BUT IN THIS
PARTICULAR CASE I THINK WE HAVE
NEARLY UNANIMOUS SUPPORT I THINK
THE SENATOR CONVENTION ON THAT
AS WELL- BECAUSE WE ALL
RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A SEVERE
SHORTAGE OF MENTAL HEALTH
PROVIDERS. AND THAT'S OF COURSE
TRUE COMMERCIAL HEALTH BUT IT'S
PARTICULARLY PERTINENT FOR
WORKERS COMPENSATION- MY
COLLEAGUE WHO'S GONNA SPEAK AND
FROM A CLINICAL PERSPECTIVE IN A
MORE MOMENT CAN TALK ABOUT THIS
BUT- I'M PARTICULARLY FOR OUR
FIRST RESPONDERS PERSONAL THAT
HAVE WORKED IN HOSPITALS. PEOPLE
THAT ARE ON THE FRONT LINES OF
THE PANDEMIC- HAS RESULTED IN AN
EXPLOSION OF MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS
THAT WE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE
I'M FROM A NETWORK PERSPECTIVE
AND OF COURSE OUR OBJECTIVE IS
TO GET THESE FOLKS TO HELP THAT
THEY NEED TO GET THEM RETURNED
TO WORK AS- QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE-
THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW US. TO
UPDATE AN ANTIQUATED SECTION OF
THE LABOR CODE THAT PREVENTS US
FROM USING LICENSED CLINICAL
SOCIAL WORKERS. AS PROVIDE
TYPES. WORKS IT'S SORT OF A
GLITCH IN THE LAW- AT THE TIME
THAT THIS WAS WRITTEN IT WAS
NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT AND OUR
PROVIDER DEMANDS HAVE CHANGED
DOWN THE PROVIDER TYPES OF
SHIFTED. AND THIS IS SORT OF
ALLOWING US AS A NETWORK TO KEEP
UP WITH WHERE COMMERCIAL HEALTH
IS- WHERE BEARS ARE THAT ARE IN
THE NON COMP WORKER'S
COMPENSATION SECTOR IT'S ADDRESS
SO IT ALLOWS US TO. BASICALLY
HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROVIDER
TYPES THAT THOSE ON THE
COMMERCIAL SIDE ALREADY HAVE- SO
AGAIN- LEASE AND BECKFORD. WITH
COVENTRY REPRESENTING MEDICAL
PROVIDER NETWORKS ALL THROUGH
CALIFORNIA AND WE WOULD URGE

WELCOME IN THE HE MAY PRESENT
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. THANK YOU
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. SB ELEVEN
SIXTY TWO ADDRESSES AN ISSUE
THAT IS AFFECTING WOMEN AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR ACROSS THE STATE
THE GENDER AND RACE PAY GAP
ACCORDING TO RECENT ANALYSIS OF
PAY DATA CALIFORNIA WOMEN IN
TWENTY TWENTY LOST FORTY SIX
BILLION DOLLARS DUE TO THE
GENDER PAY GAP. AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR IN THE STATE LOST SIXTY
ONE BILLION DOLLARS TO THE RACE
PAY GAP. THE WAGE GAP PERSISTS
ACROSS INDUSTRIES OCCUPATIONS
AND EDUCATION LEVELS AND EXACTS
A HEAVY TOLL NOT ONLY ON WOMEN
AND PEOPLE OF COLOR BUT ALSO ON
THE FAMILIES THE SUPPORT. AND
THE ECONOMY AS A WHOLE. OVER THE
COURSE OF A FORTY YEAR CAREER A
WOMAN BEGINNING HER CAREER TODAY
TYPICALLY STANDS TO LOSE OVER
FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO
THE WAGE GAP. WOMEN OF COLOR
STAND TO LOSE THE MOST WITH
BLACK AND NATIVE WOMEN NATIVE
AMERICAN WOMEN LOSING NEARLY
NINE HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS AND LATINAS LOSING OF
ONE POINT ONE MILLION OVER THEIR
LIFETIMES THE WAGE GAP AS
COMPARED TO WHITE NON HISPANIC
MEN. HE TRANSPARENCY IS KEY TO
ACHIEVING PAY EQUITY. SB ELEVEN
SIXTY TO THE PAY TRANSPARENCY
FOR PAY EQUITY ACT WILL HELP
IDENTIFY THE GENDER AND RACE
BASED HE DISPARITIES BY
REQUIRING FEE TRANSPARENCY AT
EVERY STAGE OF EMPLOYMENT
PROCESS. FROM HIRING PROMOTION
AND ONGOING EMPLOYMENT.
SPECIFICALLY SB ELEVEN SIXTY TWO
WILL HELP NARROW THE WAGE GAP BY
REQUIRING THE DISCLOSURE OF
SALARY RANGES ON ALL JOB
POSTINGS. AND MAKE AN EMPLOYER
FOR INTERNAL PROMOTION
OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO
CURRENT EMPLOYEES. INCLUDING THE
MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM SALARIES AND
JOB POSTING PROVIDES JOB SEEKERS
WITH THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO
NEGOTIATE FAIR SALARIES AND HELP
BUSINESS. BUSINESSES EFFICIENT
EFFICIENTLY HIRE AND RETAIN THE
BEST TALENT THAT MATCHES THEIR
NEEDS. SB ELEVEN SIXTY TWO ALSO
REQUIRES COMPANIES TO PUBLICLY
REPORT PD THAT BROKEN DOWN BY
RACE ETHNICITY AND SEX FOR BOTH
DIRECT EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEES
HIRED THROUGH A THIRD PARTY
STAFFING AGENCY. MANY MAJOR
COMPANIES ARE ALREADY DISCLOSING
THEIR FEDERAL PAY DATA REPORT AS
PART OF THEIR COMMITMENT TO
DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION
INITIATIVES AND RACIAL JUSTICE
INCLUDING HALF OF THE TOP ONE
HUNDRED PUBLICLY TRADED
COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
P. EXCLUDING HALF OF THE TOP ONE
HUNDRED PUBLICLY TRADED
COMPANIES IN THE UNITED STATES
ALREADY DISCLOSED THE STATE UP
PUBLICLY. ENSURING EUAL PAY IS
NOT ONLY CRITICAL FOR WOMEN AND
THEIR FAMILIES BUT ALSO BENEFITS
EMPLOYERS. EQUITABLE EMPLOYMENT
PRACTICES INCLUDING PREVENTING
AND ADDRESSING PAY DISPARITIES
CAN COME FOR A WIDE RANGE OF
BENEFITS ON A COMPANY INCLUDING
ACCESS TO THE BEST TALENT
INCREASED EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
AND PRODUCTIVITY. WE MUST
INCREASE PAY TRANSPARENCY IN
ORDER TO NARROW THE GENDER AND
RACIAL WAGE GAP WHICH PREVENTS
WOMEN PARTICULARLY WOMEN OF
COLOR FROM ACHIEVING ECONOMIC
SECURITY I LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION WITH
THE OPPOSITION A HOW TO TAKE
MEANINGFUL STEPS TO NARROW THE
GENDER AND RACIAL PAY GAP. TO
DATE WE HAVE JUST NEKRON AND
HANNAH HOLLOWAY THE TESTIFYING
IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU SENATOR OF
WILL GO AHEAD IN FIRST. CALL ON
I HAVE- JUST IN THE GROUND AS
THE SECOND LEAD WITNESS- HELLO%
THIS CORRECTLY TRY CALLING ON
HIM THE WHOLE WAY. SHE'S HERE.
GREAT YES. GOOD AFTERNOON MR
JERRY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
ALSO THANK YOU DODD SENATOR THEM
I'M FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. ON THIS
ISSUE. I'M HANNAH HOLLOWAY WITH
TECH EQUITY COLLABORATIVE A
PROBLEM FOR THE SPONSOR OF THIS
BILL. AS A SENATOR OUTLINES THE
BILL BEFORE YOU REQUIRES
EMPLOYERS DISCLOSE PROMOTION
OPPORTUNITIES TO CURRENT
EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS PAY SCALES
AND JOB POSTINGS IT ALSO
INCLUDES TEMPORARY WORKERS AND
PAID OUT OF REPORTS.
TRANSPARENCY IS GOOD FOR WORKERS
THE STUDY'S FINDING THAT WOMEN
AND PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE MORE
WILLING TO NEGOTIATE AND MORE
SUCCESSFUL IN DOING SO. WHEN THE
PARAMETERS FOR NEGOTIATIONSARE
CLEARLY OUTLINED. RESEARCH SHOWS
THAT THAT'S GOOD POLICY FOR
COMPANIES TO. ADDRESS CAPITAL
CITY FOUND THAT COMPANIES THAT
PUBLICLY. RELEASED THEIR PAY
DATA INFORMATION. FORM HERE'S ON
THE STOCK BUT TWO POINT FOUR.
FOLLOWING SOME CLAIM YOU MIGHT
ABOUT TRANSPARENCY EFFORTS
HAMPER ACT ECONOMIC GROWTH OR
BUSINESS COMPETITIVENESS. THERE
ARE ARGUMENTS FROM A POSITION OF
TRANSPARENCY HURTS BUSINESSES BY
INVITING LAWSUITS. THE BILL DOES
ADDRESSES CONCERNS BUT LIMITING
THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION TO
ONLY AGGRIEVED PARTIES AND ALSO
REQUIRING ONLY ADVOCATE PAID
OFF. WHICH CANNOT BE THE BASIS
FOR INDIVIDUAL EQUAL PAY CLAIMS.
THE RESEARCHERS ALSO DOESN'T
SUPPORT THE FLOWS TO CLEAN. THE
STUDIES ON THE EFFECT OF THE
PUBLICLY START HAS ENDURING PAY
DISPARITIES ATTRIBUTED PROGRESS
NOT TO LAWSUITS BUT TO VOLUNTARY
CORPORATE PRACTICE CHANGE. SO
COMPANIES CAN AVOID LIABILITY BY
PROACTIVELY FIXING. GAPS UNDER
TO BE ABLE TO. WE JUSTIFIED
FACTOR. AND IN THE SUN.
INSTANCES OF IN. THESE SYSTEMIC
FIXES RATHER THAN RELYING ON OUR
CURRENT SYSTEM OF INDIVIDUAL
COURT CASES TO FIX THE ISSUE.
THE EVIDENCE TRANSPARENCY CAN
HELP PREVENT LAWSUITS FACT THAT
COMPANIES MIGHT BE. SUSCEPTIBLE
TO SUSCEPTIBLE TO. IN THE LAST
ELEMENT OF THIS BILL HIS
INCLUSION STAFFING AGENCY
WORKERS IN THE EXISTING
CALIFORNIA PAID OUT OF REPORTS-
THESE WORKERS ARE SIGNIFICANT
AND GROWING PART OF THE
CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE TEMPORARY
EMPLOYMENT HAS INCREASED 75%
SINCE THE GREAT RECESSION
COMPARED TO JUST 19% OF THAT
TOTAL. ACCORDING TO PROTECT HIS
OWN RESEARCH THESE WORKERS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY LIKELY TO BE
WOMEN NON BINARY AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR. AND EARNED A FRACTION OF
THE PAY AS DIRECT WORKERS EVEN
WHEN PERFORMING SIMILAR ROLES.
THE STAFFING INDUSTRY HOWEVER
HAS LOBBIED FOR EXEMPTIONS TO
NEARLY ALL PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY
AND REPORTING SO WE DON'T KNOW
EXACTLY WHERE THIS INDUSTRY
GROWTH IS COMING FROM OR THE
FULL EXTENT OF THE DISPARITIES
WITHIN IT. SUCH A SIGNIFICANT
SUBGROUP OF CALIFORNIA WORKERS
SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN STATE
OVERSIGHT. I DON'T JUST CLOSE BY
SAYING THAT THIS BILL MEARS
CALIFORNIA PAID ON A REPORTS.
AND THE FEDERAL EEO ONE. THE
DECISION OF PAY DATA TO THOSE
YEAR ONES WAS APPROVED AFTER AN
ESTIMATED BURDEN TO EMPLOYERS
WAS FOUND TO BE MINIMAL- WHICH
WILL ALSO BE FOR THE LARGE
EMPLOYERS LIKE THOSE COVERED IN
THIS BILL. SB ELEVEN SIXTY TWO.
SIMPLY EXPANDS ON EXISTING BEST
PRACTICES TO THE BENEFIT OF ALL
CALIFORNIA WORKERS I
RESPECTFULLY HER DRIVE OFF. OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
TESTIMONY JUST LIKE RON IS
SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE LINE THE
MODERATORS LINE ARE YOU THERE.
YEAH ARE YOU MAY PROCEED WITH
YOUR TESTIMONY THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SO MUCH I JUST WANNA SAY
THANK YOU TO MR CARE AND THE
MEMBERS OF THECOMMITTEE FOR
LETTING ME SHARE MY STORY
FAMILY- I'M A THIRTY TWO YEAR
OLD LATINO WOMAN AND I'VE WORKED
EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO GET WHERE
I AM IN MY CAREER. I'M CURRENTLY
FOUNDER AND CEO OF RECKON MEDIA
AND I'VE WORKED IN A VARIETY OF
MEDIA COMPANIES IN MY CAREER
INCLUDING THE VIDEO GAME COMPANY
RIGHT AND- RIGHT. FROM TWO
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY SEVENTEEN- I
SERVED AS A CLASS AND TALK
REPRESENTATIVE EQUAL PAY CASE I
CAN TRANSFORM WE'RE WE OBTAINED
ONE OF THE LARGEST EQUAL PAY
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT IN THE
HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AND
THIS INCLUDED ROBUST
PROGRAMMATIC RELIEF. UNDER THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT MORE THAN A
pTHIRTEEN HUNDRED CONTRACT
WORKERS WILL GET RELIEF FOR THE
PAY DISCRIMINATION WE
EXPERIENCED WHILE WORKING AT
RITE AID WILL NOT SETTLEMENT UP
RECORD APPROVAL IN JUST A FEW
WEEKS. WHAT I AND OTHERS
EXPERIENCE. THAT RIGHT AND
SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. WHEN I
WORKED THERE I FOUND OUT THE
PERSON WHO ROLE I PACKED BILLS
HAVE BEEN PAID. THREE HI MORE
THAN MORE FOR THE SAME JOB. IT
WAS IN THE FACE WHEN I WOULD
THEN ASK THE TRAIN AND MENTOR
THE MAN WHO GOT A PROMOTION THAT
HAD BEEN PROMISED ME. WHEN I
STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT
MY K. COMPARED TO THE PAY OF
MYSELF HERE'S IT NEARLY BROKE ME
WHEN I WAS TOLD IN NO UNCERTAIN
TERMS. THAT I HAD NO BIG LOSS
ASKING TO BE PAID AT THAT LEVEL.
LIKE MANY WOMEN I'M TIRED OF
PROVING MYSELF IN THE WORKPLACE
BEING TRUSTEDWITH MORE
RESPONSIBILITY AND EARNING
POSITIONS OF LEADERSHIP. ONLY TO
BE FEATURED ISLAND THE SUBJECT
TO PAY COMES UP AND IN SOME
CASES OUTRIGHT. HELLO HEY
TRANSPARENCY IS VITAL TO MAKE
SURE MARGINALIZED WORKERS ARE
EXPLOITED. IF WE'RE UNAWARE OF
THE INEQUALITY IS IMPACTING US
WE CAN'T APPROPRIATELY ADVOCATE
FOR OURSELVES. TRANSPARENCY KEEP
LEADERSHIP ON THAT AND KEEP
EMPLOYEES INFORMED EVERYONE WINS
WHEN YOU VALUE YOUR TEAMS AND
THEY CAN CLEARLY. SEE THAT
THEY'RE BEING VALUE. HI OF THE
SETTLEMENT ALSO. CON KENNEDY IN
THE OF A YEAR THIRTY IN THE- OF
GENDER EQUITY. PAY OR JOB. IN IT
REQUIRED RIGHT GAINES PHOTOS TO
WORK THE STATE KIND OF EIGHT DE
AND- THAT WOULD BE TO BE TO.
UNDER THIS BILL. I ONLY BECAME
AWARE THAT I WAS UNDERPAID
COMPARED TO MY MALE PEERS
BECAUSE SOME OF THEM HAPPEN TO
BE WILLING TO TELL ME WHEN I ASK
THEM OUT RIGHT. THE BAD
EXPERIENCE IN MIND I TRULY DON'T
BELIEVE ACCOUNTABILITY WILL
HAPPEN WITHOUT INTERVENTION

THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. THANK
YOU GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
VERS TAKE ME UP ON BEHALF OF
SEJAK ADDRESSING THE COMMITTE
TODAY WAS SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT
THE IMPACT THIS BILL WOULD HAVE
ON EMPLOYER LIABILITY IN
CALIFORNIA. WILL BE ABSOLUTELY
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S WANTING
TO HIGHLIGHT GENDER BASED WAGE
GAPS SEJAK IS INCREDIBLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXPANDED AN
ONEROUS LITIGATION THAT WOULD
SURELY BE DIRECTED. AT EMPLOYERS
OF FORCETO DEFEND THEMSELVES
AGAINST MISLEADING WAGE DATA
PUBLISHED ONLINE. DATA ALONE
DOESN'T TELL THE WHOLE STORY OUT
OF CONTEXT THERE ARE VALID AND
LEGAL REASONS WHY PAY
DISPARITIES EXIST. NONE OF WHICH
WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED ALONGSIDE
THE DATA UNDER THIS BILL
CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES SHOULDN'T
BE SUBJECT TO LAWSUITS
REPUTATIONAL BACKLASH. FOR
REASONABLE AND LEGAL PAY
DIFFERENCES THAT EXIST IN THEIR
WORK FORCE. COLLECTION OF THE
STATE IS NOT THE CONCERN THE
STATE ALREADY REQUIRES EMPLOYERS
TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION THE
CONCERT IS THE PUBLICATION. OF
THE DATA- CREATING BASICALLY A
SEARCHABLE A DIFFERENT DATABASE
ONLINE FOR PLAINTIFFS TO USE TO
SOON PLAYERS. ONCE THIS TYPE OF
DATA IS MADE PUBLIC ALL OF
PLAINTIFF ATTORNEY WOULD NEED TO
DO A SEARCH THE COMPANIES. THE
PERCEIVED PAY DIFFERENCES AND-
STATE. OF DEMAND FOR A- FOR
LITIGATION. IT'S WERE MENTION
THAT THE ENABLING LEGISLATION
THAT REQUIRES WAGE DATA
COLLECTION SPECIFICALLY REJECTED
THE IDEA OF MAKING THE DATA
PUBLIC. FIVE YEARS AGO THE STATE
HAD THE SAME CONVERSATION ABOUT
PAY ONLINE DATA. THEN THE
GOVERNOR BROWN WHO IS A LONG
TIME CHAMPION OF PAY EQUITY I
RECOGNIZE THE THREAT OF
LITIGATION IS A SERIOUS ISSUE
AND VETOED A BILL SIMILAR TO
THIS ONE. NOTING IN HIS VETO
MESSAGE THE WALL TRANSPARENCY IS
A GREAT WAY TO IDENTIFY A
PROBLEM PROVIDING DATA OUTSIDE
OF CONTEXT CREATES AMBIGUITY.
AND COULD BE EXPORTED TO
ENCOURAGE MORE LITIGATION THAN
PAY EQUITY. IN AN ARTICLE
PUBLISHED SAY NEAR A PLAINTIFF
ATTORNEY QUOTED AND PARAPHRASING
HERE ABOUT PUBLISHING THIS TYPE
OF DATA ONLINE IS THE GOVERNMENT
BASICALLY GIVING UP PLAINTIFF
ATTORNEYS THE DATA THEY NEED. TO
GO OUT AND SEE COMPANIES.
PUBLICIZING THE STATE WOULD PUT
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYERS IN A
POSITION TO DEFEND THEMSELVES
AGAINST MERITLESS LITIGATION
WITHOUT THE ADDED BENEFIT OF
IDENTIFYING INTENTIONAL WAGE
GAPS. FOR THESE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THANKS. OKAY
THANK YOU. THE NOW- ASHLEY HOPE
. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS
ACTUALLY OFTEN ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
IN OPPOSITION SB ELEVEN SIXTY
TWO. WE HAVE TO THE CONCERNS OF
MISS HELP REGARDING PART ONE OF
THE BILL SOMEONE LIMIT MY
TESTIMONY TO PARTS TWO AND
THREE- PRESENTLY- THE
LEGISLATURE HAS RECENTLY ENACTED
LEGISLATION SAYING THAT YOU
CANNOT RELY ON SALARY
INFORMATION YOU CAN ASK AN
APPLICANT FOR SALARY
INFORMATION. YOU CANNOT PROHIBIT
SOMEONE FROM ASKING ABOUT WAGES
ARE TALKING ABOUT IN THE
WORKPLACE AND AN APPLICANT MAY
ASK FOR A PAY SCALE- AFTER
THEY'VE GOTTEN THEIR FIRST ROUND
INTERVIEW- AND SO WE HAVE
SEVERAL CONCERNS IS MANDATING
THE PAY SCALE TO BE ON EVERY
SINGLE JOB POSTING. FIRST I WANT
TO KNOW WHO IS GOING TO HAPPEN
IS THAT EMPLOYERS ARE GOING TO
BE FORCED TO PUT QUITE A LARGE
RANGE ON THOSE JOB POSTINGS.
THEY NEED FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR
PAY SCALES I'M FOR A LOT OF
DIFFERENT REASONS WHETHER THAT'S
TO BE ABLE TO LEARN TALENT TO
FIT IF THEY CAN'T FIND AN
APPLICATION WHO EXACTLY NEEDS OF
QUALIFICATIONS THAT ARE LOOKING
FOR. OR IF THERE ARE CHANGES IN
JOB DUTIES SO WE ARE GOING TO
GET ON THESE JOB POSTINGS IS NOT
GOING TO BE SOMETHING OF THAT'S
HELPFUL FOR THE WORKER. WHO ARE
GOING TO BENEFIT IS THE BIG
BUSINESSES BIG BUSINESSES THAT
ARE TO BE ABLE TO PUT THESE
REALLY STRIKING NUMBERS ON THERE
THAT SMALL BUSINESSES AND MEDIUM
AND LOCAL BUSINESSES ARE JUST
NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO COMPETE
WITH. LEASE NOW IF THEY HAVE AN
INTERVIEW THEY CAN TALK TO THE
APPLICANT OTHER BENEFITS WORK
ENVIRONMENT WHAT HAVE YOU
THEY'RE JUST SIMPLY NOT GONNA BE
ABLE TO COMPETE ESPECIALLY IN
TODAY'S LABOR SHORTAGE- MORE
THEY'RE BARELY GETTING
APPLICANTS TO BEGIN WITH. PART
THREE OF THE BILL REQUIRES
DOESN'T NOTIFY EVERY SINGLE
EMPLOYEE OF NOT ONLY ANY OPEN
JOB VACANCY BUT IN ANTICIPATED
JOB VACANCY. SO IS THIS
COMMITTEES ANALYSIS NOTES AND
THAT'S GONNA END UP ITH A LOT
OF PROBABLY POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS
AND SOME BIG COMPANIES
NOTIFICATIONS CONSISTENTLY GOING
OUT TO PLEASE WHICH IS NOT
EXACTLY THE BEST USE OF
RESOURCES. AND FINALLY ARE
CONCERNED WITH A PROVISION IS
REALLY FLEXIBILITY PEOPLE LEAVE
ALL THE TIME WITHOUT NOTICE OR
THEY'RE TERMINATED. YOU CONSIDER
RESTAURANT RIGHT YOU HAVE A HEAD
CHEF WHO OFTEN MIGHT LEAVE TO GO
START THEIR OWN RESTAURANT OR
WHAT HAVE YOU. AND YOU CAN'T
SIMPLY THEN JUST PROMOTE THE
DEPUTY THE SECOND IN COMMAND AT
TO DO DINNER SERVICE AT NIGHT
UNDER THIS BILL. THAT'S OUT. FOR
YOU WOULD HAVE TO- THAT HAS. UP
TO EVERYONE IN THAT RESTAURANT
EVEN IF THEY'RE NOT QUALIFIED OR
THEY HAVE NO INTEREST BEFORE YOU
COULD EVEN TEMPORARILY PROMOTE
SOMEONE. UP TO THE NEXT
POSITION. AND ANY MISSTEP HERE
SUBJECT YOU TO A PRN PAGO IN
CONTRARY TO WHAT WAS STATED
BEFORE. IT'S NOT ACTUALLY
LIMITED TO PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR
GRIEVED. UNDER PAR THAT ANY
PERSON CAN SUE FOR ANY TECHNICAL
VIOLATION OF THE LABOR CODE
THERE'S CASE LAW ON THAT. YOU
DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE HARMED
YOU COULD HAVE A PAGA PLAINTIFFS
WHO HAD NO INTENTION OF EVER
APPLYING FOR ANY OF THESE JOBS.
SERVICE PLAINTIFF ON BEHALF OF
AN ENTIRE CLASS. THE FOR THESE
OTHER REASONS WE ARE URGING NO
VOTE. THANK YOU. OKAY THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE- WE WILL NOW. ASK
TO SEE WHEN THE COMMITTEE ROOM
WHO WISH TO EXPRESS IN OPPOSE
POSITION OTHER THAN THE ME
WITNESSES. IF SO PLEASE COME
FORWARD. HI HI GOOD AFTERNOON
SHERRY MEMBERS KATIE HANSON WITH
THE CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION WE ARE HERE AND
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION FOR THE

PLEASE PROCEED. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS- BEFORE I
BEGIN I'D LIKE TO ACCEPT THE TO
YOUR ALL RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS
THAT WOULD ALLOW. FOR A PAUSE ON
DIVESTMENT FOR SPECIFIED
UNFORESEEABLE EVENTS WOULD
REQUIRE THE BOARDS OF CALPERS
AND CAL STIRS TO PRODUCE AN
ANALYSIS ON HOW RAPIDLY PENSION
FUNDS. CAN REDUCE THEIR
DEPENDENCE ON FOSSIL FUELS.
MEMBERS I'M HERE TODAY- ONCE
AGAIN TO PRESENT SB ELEVEN
SEVENTY THREE WHICH WILL AND THE
USE OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES HARD
EARNED PENSIONS THE FINANCE
FOSSIL FUELS. SB ELEVEN SEVENTY
THREE- IS NOT JUST A POLITICAL
STATEMENT IT IS THE CREATION
FROM YEARS AND YEARS OF ADVOCACY
BY TEACHERS FACULTY MEMBERS AND
STATE EMPLOYEES. HAVE DEMANDED
THAT THE BOARDS OF CALPERS AND
STIRS THIS CONTINUE INVESTING
NEARLY TEN BILLION DOLLARS OF
THEIR HARD EARNED PENSIONS TO
FINANCE THE VERY INDUSTRY.
RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE THE
CALIFORNIA FACULTY ASSOCIATION
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS ALONG
WITH LOCAL CHAPTERS OF THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
REPRESENT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF PERSONS THERE'S MEMBERS
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND ONCE THE
LEGISLATURE TO ACT NOW
ESPECIALLY AFTER TODAY. AFTER
THE IPCC THE INTERGOVERNMENTAL
POLICY AND CLIMATE CHANGE JUST
TODAY ANNOUNCED THAT IN THE NEXT
THIRTY MONTHS NOT THIRTY YEARS.
THIRTY MONTHS WE WILL SEE THE
WORST IMPACTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE
IF IMMEDIATE CUTS. IN EMISSIONS
IN ALL SECTORS ARE NOT DONE.
THERE IS PRECEDENT GLOBALLY
WE'VE SEEN OVER THIRTY NINE
TRILLION DOLLARS INVESTED WITH
HUNDREDS OF PENSION PORTFOLIOS.
TAKING ACTION BUT NOT JUST
SETTING THAT ZERO GOAL BUT BY
PER. DIVEST HERE IN CAL. THIS
YEAR USES IN THE UC HAVE
CONFIDENTLY AND PROACTIVELY
REMOVE FOSSIL FUEL INVESTMENTS
OUT OF THEIR PORTFOLIOS. THE
UC'S INFECTIOUS THING OVER A
BILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENTS
IN TWENTY TWENTY INTO NEW. CLEAN
TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS AND IN
TWENTY TWENTY THE STATE OF NEW
YORK IS ALSO COMMITTED TO THE
INVESTMENT OVER THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS SIMILAR TO THIS BILL. AND
IN FACT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
HAS OPENED COMMON AT THIS POINT-
IN FACT HE BACK. LAST YEAR.
CREATED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER ON
CLIMATE RELATED FINANCIAL RISK.
WELL THE LET THE SECRETARY OF
LABOR AND SECRETARY OF TREASURY.
OF TREACHERY EXCUSE ME ARE
TAKING COMMENTS ON A FEDERAL
PENSIONS AS WE SPEAK. WELL THE
BOARD'S COMMITMENT TO INVESTING
IN RENEWABLE ENERGIES AND
COMMITMENT TO REAP REACHING A
NET ZERO GOAL BY TWENTY FIFTY OR
ADMIRABLE. IT IS NOT ENOUGH IN
FACT MANY OF THE FOSSIL FUEL
COMPANIES PER- THE CLIMATE
ACTION ONE HUNDRED WEBSITE
FOUNDED BY CALPERS INVESTORS.
ARE NOT EVEN HITTING THEIR OWN
NET ZERO- FOR- GIGI REMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS BY TWENTY FIFTY SO-WHY WOULD WE BE INVESTING IN
THEM. AND WHY WOULD THE
INVESTMENTS GO. OF THAT. REDUCE
EVEN FURTHER THAN A TWENTY FOUR
BELOW TWENTY FIFTY A LEVELS.
OPPONENTS ARGUE THOUGH THAT
FUNDS WILL FACING NEGATIVE
FINANCIAL IMPACT IF WE DIVEST
AND- TO THE CONTRARY IN FACT.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT FIRMS IN
STUDIES HAVE CONCLUDED THAT
MOVING AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS
ACTUALLY IMPROVE NOT WEAKENS
INVESTMENT RETURNS. AND WE KNOW
THIS BECAUSE OF FOSSIL FUEL
SECTOR. HAS A DIMINISH PRESENCE
IN THE S. AND P. FIVE HUNDRED
AND ESG AND FOSSIL FUEL. OF
BUZZELL FEEL FREE INDEXES ARE
BEATING THE S. AND P. FIVE
HUNDRED. AND APPROVING TO BE A
RISKY INVESTMENT FOR CUTS PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT FEATURES
THAT IS ALSO FEELS THAT IS.
FINALLY THE BILL CONTAINS
LANGUAGE THANK YOU AGAIN MISTER
CHAIR EMPOWERING BOTH BOARDS TO
REFRAIN FROM DIVESTMENT SHOULD
THEY DETERMINE IN GOOD FAITH.
THAT THIS POLICY WOULD BE
SUBJECT. TO MEMBERS- SIGNIFICANT
LOSSES IN THEIR PENSIONS WHICH
WOULD THEN IMPACT THEIR
FIDUCIARY. DUTIES UNDER THE
STATE CONSTITUTION. I MUST
STRESS. THIS IS ON JUST NUMBER
GOAL BUT THAT THE INTENTION HERE
IS TO ENSURE THAT WE MINIMIZE
RISK OF UNDERPERFORMING FOSSIL
FUELS AND MAXIMIZE RETURN WITH
CLEAN INVESTMENTS WHILE
SIMULTANEOUSLY TAKING A STAND ON
CLIMATE CHANGE. AS A CALPERS
MEMBER MYSELF FOR OVER A DECADE.

TOM SINCE- ON THE DIRECTOR
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS FOR THE
INSTITUTE FOR ENERGY ECONOMICS
AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS- MONA
THANK YOU- FIRM GIVE ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF S. B. ELEVEN SEVENTY
THREE SPONSORED BY SENATOR
GONZALEZ- THE BILL REQUIRES
CALPERS AND CAL STIRS TO DIVEST
FROM FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES- I
SERVED IN SENIOR MANAGEMENT
POSITIONS IN THE NEW YORK CITY
IN NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER'S
OFFICE FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS- EACH
OFFICE PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE
MANAGING THE RESPECTIVE PENSION
SYSTEMS- DURING MY TENURE IN
THE- POSITION THERE WERE PLEASE-
TO- DIVEST PENSION FUNDS RELATED
TO SOUTH AFRICA TOBACCO NUCLEAR
POWER. ISRAEL GUNS AND
REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS BY FAR THE
CASE FOR THE INVESTMENT OF
FOSSIL FUELS IS THE MOST
FINANCIALLY COMPELLING- THE
FOSSIL FUEL SECTOR CLAIM 28% OF
THE STANDARD AND POOR'S FIVE
HUNDRED IN NINETEEN EIGHTY.
TODAY IT IS JUST OVER FOUR.
RETURNS OVER THE PAST DECADE
HAVE BEEN PARTICULARLY WEAK AND
MSCI'S FOSSEL FREE INDEX HAS
OUTPACED INDEXES THAT CONTAIN
FOSSIL FUELS. DESPITE RECENT
HIGHER OIL PRICES AND A SPIKE IN
STOCK VALUES THE LONG TERM
OUTLOOK IS NOT POSITIVE. OIL AND
GAS COMPANIES ARE USING CURRENT
CASH SURPLUSES TO PAY DIVIDENDS
AND REDUCE THAT. AS OF MARCH
TWENTY TWENTY SOME ELEVEN
HUNDRED INVESTMENT FUNDS OF
DIFFERING SIZE AND VARYING
MISSIONS OF THE VESTED IN SOME
FORM. BLACKROCK UNDER CONTRACT
WITH THE CITY OF NEW YORK
CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF
INSTITUTIONAL FUNDS THAT DECIDED
TO DIVEST OF THOSE FUNDS THAT
EXPLICITLY MEASURE DIRECT
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE NO
INVESTORS FOUND SIGNIFICANT
NEGATIVE PERFORMANCE. BUT RATHER
HAVE REPORTED NEUTRAL TO
POSITIVE RESULTS. THE INVESTMENT
MANAGEMENT COMPANY BLACKROCK HAS
MADE IT CLEAR THAT THEY ARE NOT
ADVOCATES OF DIVESTMENT. HOWEVER
WHEN A CLIENT POSED THE QUESTION
TO BLACKROCK THE COMPANY
PROVIDED FIFTY SHIRLEY FOUND
EVIDENCE THAT A FUND COULD
ELIMINATE FOSSIL FUEL
INVESTMENTS FROM A PORTFOLIO AND
STILL MEET FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
TARGETS. DIVESTING FROM FOSSIL
FUELS IS A DICE DEFENSIVE
MEASURE DESIGNED TO PROTECT
INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS FROM THE
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE. BLACKROCK AND OTHER
INVESTMENT HOUSES I FOUND THAT
MOST FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES ARE
NOT PREPARED TO HANDLE THE
PHYSICAL AND TRANSITION RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE EXTRACTION
AND SELLING OF FOSSIL FUELS.
MOST INVESTMENT STRATEGIES ALSO
DEVISE AN ON RAMP SO THAT
COMPANIES WITH WELL THOUGHT OUT
STRATEGIES TO ADDRESS CLIMATE
CHANGE CAN BE HELD IN PORTFOLIOS
THAT OTHERWISE THAT ARE
OTHERWISE THE VESTING FROM
FOSSIL FUELS. FOSSIL FUEL
COMPANIES WERE ONCE MAJOR
CONTRIBUTORS THE INSTITUTIONAL
FUNDS. AND TO THE WORLD ECONOMY
TODAY THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
IS UNSTABLE AND THE OUTLOOK IS
NEGATIVE FOR THOSE WITHOUT SOUND
STRATEGIES TO COPE WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE THANKS. Q. IS THERE

AT THE ELEVEN SEVENTY THREE. AT
THIS TIME WE HAVE NO FURTHER
COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION OF SB
ELEVEN SEVENTY THREE. FLORIDA
THANK YOU MODERATOR AND WILL
COME BACK NOW TO THE COMMITTEE
AND LOOK FOR COMMITTEE COMMENTS
OR QUESTIONS. HI ANYBODY WISH WE
RECOGNIZE OUR VOICES HERE TO A
VOTE. RIGHT AS A NEW MEMBER I.
IT'S VERY HARD TO HEAR SO MANY
GOOD INTENDED BILLS- AND I'M
BEING TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS
THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW WHICH HAVE
. I ALWAYS TRY TO BE VERY FAIR
BALANCED AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT-
BILLS AND I TRIED TO REALLY
THINK THROUGH THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES THAT COME FROM. AT
WHAT IT CALLED WARM HEARTED AND
GOOD INTENDED BILLS SOMEONE IT
JUST BEGAN BY EXPRESSING WHAT
I'VE LEARNED THIS PAST YEAR-
WITH REGARD TO THE OIL INDUSTRY
AND- THE ENVIRONMENT. ONE I'VE
LEARNED THAT- CALIFORNIA ONLY
PRODUCES OF ABOUT30% OF THE OIL
THAT WE UTILIZE IN THE STATE IN
THAT WE IMPORT ABOUT 70% OF THE
OIL WHICH AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WE
IMPORTED FROM AREAS THAT DON'T
HAVE THE SAME STANDARDS-
ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICE THAT WE
HAVE SO. LET ME JUST BEGIN BY
THAT- LET ME ALSO STATE THE FACT
THAT CALIFORNIA. IS THE LEADING
STATE WHEN IT COMES TO
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS LABOR LAWS
GENDER LAWS. AND EVERY OTHER LAW
YOU CAN THINK OF CALIFORNIANS
LEADS THE WAY SO IF WE'RE GOING
TO TALK ABOUT ENVIRONMENTALLY
RESPONSIBLE- AT MARKET
EVERYWHERE WE CAN PRODUCE
MANUFACTURE DISTRIBUTE. OIL IT
WOULD BE US SO I'M A LITTLE BIT
QUITE FRANKLY DISTURBING THE
FACT THAT WE WOULD TRUST OTHER
COUNTRIES TO PRODUCE THE OIL
THAT WE UTILIZE IN CALIFORNIA-
THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME
STANDARDS THAT WE DO AND BY.
BASICALLY CLOSING OUR EYES AND
SAYING OKAY AS LONG AS WE DON'T
SEE HOW THEY DO THAT THINGS WERE
GOING TO TAKE THEIR OIL I THINK
WE HAVE A PROBLEM. SO THAT'S
NUMBER TWO NUMBER THREE THE
OTHER CONCERN THAT I HAVE WITH
THIS WITH THIS BILL- BUYS THAT
DIVESTMENT OF IT IS THAT THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF
CURBING INNOVATION- TOWARDS LOW
IN ZERO EMISSION TECHNOLOGY
BECAUSE MANY OF THESE COMPANIES
ARE ALSO TRYING TO- ARE HAVE
SHOWN AN EFFORT. IN TRYING TO
LEAD THE- BASICALLY THE EFFORT
OF TRYING TO FIND NEW WAYS OF
UTILIZING TECHNOLOGY- THAT IS
ZERO AND LOW EMISSION. NUMBER
FOUR- SOMETHING THAT I HEARD I
HEARD TODAY AND THAT'S THE- THE
UNINTENDED. THE CIVILIZATION OF
THE LOCAL WORKFORCE THAT WHAT
HAPPENED- WITH THE DIVESTMENT-
THAT WOULD OCCUR- WITH REGARDS
TO OUR LOCAL MARKETS BECAUSE WE
STILL HAVE THAT 30% OF THAT
WORLD IT'S BEING MANUFACTURED
MOVES TO REACH YOUR LOCALLYSO
THAT'S ANOTHER CONCERN THAT I
WOULD HAVE. IN THE AREA- SO. I
AM ONCE AGAIN GOING BACK TO
CALIFORNIA BEING THE LEADER IN
ENVIRONMENTAL LABOR GENDER IN
EVERY SINGLE OTHER- FIELD WHEN
IT COMES TO LAWS WE HAVE IT
HERE. SO IF I WOULD TRUST IN AND
I'M NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT THE
BILL ADDRESSES THAT I WAS TRYING
TO REACH HERE IN THE NIGHT THE
ANALYSIS AND I COULDN'T FIND IT
SO. I'M NOT SURE IF I OVERLOOKED
IT BUT IT DIDN'T SPECIFY WHETHER
OR NOT YOU WERE REFERRING TO
DIVESTMENT OF OIL COMPANIES HERE
IN THE U. S. AND- INTERNATIONAL
COMPANIES OR IS IT JUST
INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES THAT YOU
WANT TO DIVEST FROM- SO THAT'S-
I'M NOT SURE IF YOU OUT INTO THE
CHAIR AT THE TIME. WHEN YOU KNOW
WHEN THE TIME COMES I WOULD LOVE
TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT THAT WOULD
BE OUT- SOMETHING THAT I MISSED
HERE SOMEWHERE BUT- TO ME- THOSE
ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT I
HAVE WITH THIS BILL- THAT I
FEEL. ARE PROBABLY NOT
SOMETHING. I CAN'T SUPPORT IT
TODAY- AND- I HOPE THAT I'VE
MADE CLEAR AS TO SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH REGARD
TO THIS BILL. THAT
WHOLEHEARTEDLY WELL INTENDED.
THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES I
THINK IN THE LONG TERM AND
CURRENTLY WITH THAT WOULD NEED
TO HAVE THE PRODUCTION OF OIL-
WITH REGARDS TO I SEE. NEEDY NOT
OIL IN CALIFORNIA AND- CURBING
THE ABILITY TO DO THAT FOR
COMPANIES HERE IN CALIFORNIA
WOULD BE A HUGE CONCERN SO-
THANK YOU. OKAY THANK YOU
MEMBERS SURE OTHERS- CENTER
NEWMAN. THANK YOU MISTER SO I'M
SORRY YOUR DOLLARS YOU YOU AND
I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE BILL I MEAN
I'M I'M VERY CONFLICTED- AS I'VE
- HOLD YOU- NOT AS A MATTER OF
PURPOSE BUT AS A MATTER POLICY
RIGHT AND I THINK WE CAN ALL
AGREE ON THE PURPOSE OF THE
BROADER IMPERATIVE TO
DECARBONISE. BUT WITH RESPECT TO
THE POLICY DID IT'S YOU KNOW
THERE'S TWO COMPONENTS IS A
MORAL ARGUMENT- THERE'S A
FIDUCIARY I'VE BEEN OUT ON THE
ON THE MORAL ARGUMENT. YEAH-
PART OF MY CONCERNS ARE
DEFINITIONAL SO GET BUDGET
QUESTIONS SO. YOU KNOW THIS IS
BASED ON THE DEFINITION OF
FOSSIL FUEL COMPANIES IT'S
PROBABLY WORTH NOTING THAT NONE
OF THESE COMPANIES RECALL
THEMSELVES FOSSIL FUEL COMES
THIS POINT SO YOU KNOW WITH
RESPECT TO THAT. HOW DO WE
ACCOUNT FOR A COMPANY THAT HOLDS
SUBSTANTIAL CARBON ASSETS- BUT
IS AT THE SAME TIME MAKING
MATERIAL INVESTMENTS- IN
ALTERNATIVE FUEL TECHNOLOGIES
SUCH AS REMOTE RENEWABLE
HYDROGEN OR OTHER ACTIVITIES
CALIFORNIA THAT DOES THE BILL
MAKING ALLOWANCE FOR THAT OR
COULD IT. SO THROUGH THE CHAIR
THANK YOU- THANK YOU SENATOR
NEWMAN FOR A QUESTION SO. TO
SORT OF ADDRESS WHAT YOU'RE
REFERENCING AS WELL AS AS UNDER
A CHOI BOGUE IS WE'RE LOOKING AT
THE C. THE CARBON UNDERGROUND
TWO HUNDRED THIS IS A LIST. OF
THE LARGEST OIL GAS RESERVES
THAT HAVE A SPECIFIC CARBON
INTENSITY THAT IS SO HIGH- THAT
UP AGAIN DRITTEN DETRIMENT TARDE
BARNETT. AND SO WE'RE JUST
LOOKING AT THOSE TWO HUNDRED
COMPANIES WHICH IS BASED OFF OF
WHAT OTHER- THE VESTMENT
POLICIES HAVE DONE THE C. S. USE
THE UC'S ETCETERA. AND SO IT
DOESN'T TAKE IN ACCOUNT WE HAVE
AS A AS A LEGISLATURE OUR
PURVIEW IS JUST TO LOOK AT
DIVESTMENT WE CAN'T- ADDRESS. WE
CAN'T WITHIN OUR PURVIEW TELL
THE- CALPERS MISTERS BOARD- WHAT
TO INVEST IN NECESSARILY BUT IT
DOESN'T PRECLUDE THE INVESTMENTS
FOR CLIMATE SAFE- I'M SORRY
MAYBE THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M
ASKING WHAT WHAT I'M WHAT I'M
ASKING ABOUT IS. THERE MAY BE
COMPANIES WITHIN THOSE TWO
HUNDRED THAT HOLD CARBON ASSETS
BUT AT THE SAME TIME DOING
RESEARCH MAKING INVESTMENTS IN
ALTERNATIVE FUELS FEARS. THAT WE
SHOULD WELCOME RIGHT AND SO IS
IT FAIR TO INCLUDE THEM AS A
MATTER AS A DEFINITION OR SIMPLY
BECAUSE THEY HOLD ASSETS RIGHT
SO YOU KNOW A BUNCH OF BIG
ENERGY COMPANIES APPROACH AT
THAT DESCRIPTION. INCLUDING
CHEVRON FOR INSTANCE- WILLING
SEPARATE FROM THIS BILL THANK
YOU SIR EVEN SEPARATE FROM THIS
BILL. THE CALPERS AND STIRS
BOARD HAS TAKEN A POSITION ON
NET ZERO GHG EMISSIONS BY TWENTY
FIFTY. WHICH IS THE PARA CLIMATE
OF PARIS CLIMATE AGREEMENT AS
WELL SO BASED OFF OF THAT EVEN
LOOKING AT THAT. ON THEIR
CLIMATE ACTION ONE HUNDRED
WEBSITE WHERE THEY LIST ALL THE
COMPANIES IN THAT CARBON
UNDERGROUND IF YOU LOOK UP THE
EXXON OR CHEVRON THEY'RE NOT
EVEN HITTING THOSETWENTY FIFTY.
MARKS A REGARDLESS OF THE
INNOVATIONS THEY'RE NOT EVEN
HITTING THEIR OWN STANDARDS THAT. CALPERS AND SERVICES AS PUT
FORWARD. YEAH WHAT DO WE ACCOUNT
FOR. THEY'RE NOT EVEN HEADING
INTERIM SAID TO THIRTY TWO
THIRTY FIVE WHICH IS THE
TYPICAL. GOAL FOR CALIFORNIA
STAND. YOU DO I THANK THAT'S
AFFECT OF THAT BRINGS ME TO THE
SECOND. COMPONENT WHICH IS THE
FIDUCIARY MAIN SHOW IT SO I WANT
HIM WE'VE HEARD ARGUMENTS FROM
FOLKS IN SUPPORT. THAT HAVE SAID
FAIRLY CLEARLY THAT THIS IS IN
THE BEST INTEREST OF THE
ENVIRONMENT NUMBER OF ISSUE WITH
THAT BUT ALSO WITH RESPECT TO
THE INVESTMENT. PORTFOLIOS OF
CALPERS CLUSTERS BUT WE'VE ALSO
HEARD FROM MISS. MARTINEZ WITH
THAT THEY DISAGREE SO IT SHOW
HOW. WITH RESPECT TO. YOU KNOW
THE FIDUCIARY PLEASE- YOU KNOW
WHAT HOW DO I SQUARE THAT WHERE
IT WHERE IT SEEMS REASONABLE TO
ME TO ASSUME- THE INVESTMENT
MANAGERS AT BOTH FUNDS ARE
ACTUALLY ALREADY DOING. THEIR
VERY BEST- IN LIGHT OF THE
FUTURE RESPONSIBILITY. AGAIN
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
CENTER THE NEWMAN I'LL GO BACK
INTO THE TWENTY FIFTY GOALS WERE
NOT EVEN HITTING THOSE PEOPLE
CAN'T WAIT THIRTY YEARS AS A
MENTION. THE IPCC CAME OUT TODAY
WITH A REPORT OF OVER A HUNDRED
SCIENTISTS THAT SAID WITH THIRTY
MONTHS. TO FIGURE THIS OUT. THE
THIRTY YEARS IS TOO LONG- FOR
ONE NUMBER TWO BY THE CALPERS
OWN FIVE YEAR DIVESTMENT REVIEW.
WHICH I HAVE WHICH IS ONLINE
FOR. THE ACTUALLY ANALYZE THE
FIVE CURRENT INVESTMENT POLICIES
THAT FOR LIKE THE VESTING FROM
SADDAM SIX THE DAY LESSON FROM
TOBACCO. THE VESTING FROM COAL.
ALL FIVE OF THOSE IN WHAT IT
MENTIONS HERE'S LEGISLATIVE
MANDATES OT JUST READING OFF OF
THIS. CALPERS CANNOT THIS IS
JUST FOR IRAN DIVESTMENT.
HELPERS CANNOT DEMONSTRATE HOW
THIS DIVESTMENT DISADVANTAGES
THE FUND AND THE ANY FEASIBLE
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES WOULD
YIELD. A LOWER RETURN RATE OF
RETURN. TO BUY THEIR OWN
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. IS FIVE THE
BEST POLICY. DON'T REALLY. LOWER
RATES OF RETURN. I I'M NOT SURE
THAT IS THEIR ONLY DOLLARS IT'S
A GOOD COULD I ASK MISS MARTINEZ
WAY TO TESTIFIED IN A POSITION
FOR HER RESPONSE TO THE- YOU MAY
HAVE MISSED MARTINEZ WEIGHT IS
STILL AVAILABLE AND I HAVE DONE
IT BY NOW. THE NEW MAN- I
BELIEVE THAT'S A- BUT AS HELPERS
REPORT SO FORTUNATELY CAN'T
BECAUSE THAT IS I'M WITH
CHARACTERS. FROM OUR DIVESTMENTS
WE DO SEE A REDUCTION IN OUR
FIND OF THAT THE COMPOUNDED
COSTS- FOR ALL OF OUR
DIVESTMENTS TO DATE WHETHER
MANDATED OR ON THE BOARD HAVING
VOTED ON THE MEASURE. A COST OF
NEARLY NINE BILLION DOLLARS.
IT'S OF A IF I ASK YOU MENTION
IN YOUR TESTIMONY MS MARTINEZ
WOULD. CARBON RELATED METRICS-
SO YOU KNOW AGAIN IN IN KEEPING
WITH YOUR PRODUCERS POSSIBILITY
HOW ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT
COURTLY METRICS SPECIALLY AS
DISTINCT FROM THIS BILL. VERY
GOOD QUESTION SENATOR WE'RE
WORKING WITH OTHERS WHO ARE ARE.
TRYING TO GET THOSE MEASUREMENTS
TOGETHER RIGHT NOW THERE ARE A
LOT OF APPLES TO ORANGES
COMPARISONS ARE NOT THERE'S NOT
CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
AND THE HAPPY WITH SCOPE ONE
SCOPE TWO AND SCOPE THREE
EMISSIONS. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING
TO HAVE THOSE MEASUREMENTS BE
CONSISTENT ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
SO THAT A HOLISTIC ANALYSIS CAN
BE DONE TO DETERMINE HOW TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS AND IN A ONE
PIECE OF ACTION IS HAPPENING ON
THAT IS THAT THE SEC AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL. WHEN THERE ARE
TRYING TO GET THAT CONSISTENT
MEASUREMENT OUT THERE NOT FOR
EXAMPLE. AND I APPRECIATE THAT
AND SO. SOMEBODY I THINK IT WAS
THE TREASURE'S OFFICE MENTIONED.
THAT THE FIDUCIARY GUARDRAILS
THAT ARE NOW INCLUDING THE BILL
IS THAT A REFERENCE- TO I GUESS
TO THE CHAIRPERSON EXHAUSTED TO
THE NEW AMENDMENTS. THE MOST
RECENT QUARTER AMENITIES OR
SOMETHING ELSE. I BELIEVE SO BUT
DO TRAFFIC LIGHT TO FOCUS ON AS
WELL. THERE IS THERE EXISTING.
IN THE BILL- PRIOR TO THE
AMENDMENTS HAD BEEN ACCEPTED BY
THE AUTHOR TODAY- THAT- THAT
REQUIRED DEFERENCE TO THE
PRODUCE FIDUCIARY. DUTY OF THE-
OF THE OF THE FUNDS M. IF
THERE'S BEEN FURTHER CLARIFIED
IN THE AMENDMENTS- CLARIFY THAT
FOR YOU KNOW IT'S VERY URGENT TO
QUESTIONS WITH RESPECT TO EACH
ONE FOR EACH OF THE MEMBERS SO.
ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT- YOU THAT
TALKS ABOUT FORCE MAJEURE- AND
NOW THAT THAT IS PART OF THE
BILL. HOW DOES THAT AFFECT. THE
FUNDS MOVING FORWARD IS THE
REASON WAS CENSORSHIP GIVEN CUT
THE UKRAINE SITUATION THAT THAT.
THAT CIRCUMSTANCES IN AFFECTING
OUR WILL BE AT THE TIME OF
SHELTERING THE THAT THE BILL
PASSES. WE THINK YOU OF THE
CENTER WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER
IS THAT YOU KNOW BASED ON ON THE. ADVICE OF THIS COMMITTEE- WE
AS ALLEGES- CAN I. DICTATE TO
THE PENSION FUNDS- HOW DO THIS
WITH WE CAN DIVE WE CAN ASK HIM
TO DIVERSE ACTUALLY WE CAN
DICTATE TO THEM TODAY BECAUSE-
WE CAN'T TELL THEM HOW TO INVEST
SO. THE AMENDMENTS CALL FOR. DO
CREATE A KIND OF FORCE MAJEURE
CLAUSE THAT ALLOWS YOU KNOW THE
FUNDS TO SUSPEND THE
REQUIREMENT- BASED ON. THEIR
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO
REACT. UP TO IDENTIFY AND REACT
TO THE TYPICAL KINDS OF-
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT YOU SEE IN IN
THAT KIND OF FORCE MAJEURE
CLAUSE ACT OF GOD WAR
UNFORESEEABLE. EVENT CREATES
CONDITIONS THAT. THE IMPACT
NORMAL MARKET MECHANISMS. WHAT
IS SAYS IS SO INEFFECTIVE
INFECTED WITH READING THROUGH IS
THAT. ONCE THAT DETERMINATION
HAS THEN BEEN RELAXED BY THAT
SEEM MORE NOW BY THE
LEGISLATURE- THEY HAVE- A ROLE%
TO BE SHORT PERIOD OF TIME-
CALLED OUT IN IN THE AMENDMENTS
IN IN THE IN THE IN THE BILL
LANGUAGE AS IT. IS IT WOULD NOW
STAND- TO BEGIN REINVESTING
AGAIN- HOWEVER NOTED THAT GOES
BEYOND TWENTY THIRTY FIVE WHICH
WAS JUST A TIED TO. A SUMMER
CLIMATE GOALS AS YOU KNOW THAT
BECAUSE EITHER THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE SIX AT THE SECTOR BRANCH
LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY PUT IN
PLACE. AND I DON'T THINK THAT I
WOULD THAT BE THE SUNSET IF
YOU'D LIKE US TO MAKE SENSE BUT
I I'M STILL UNCLEAR AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT- THESE CONDITIONS
WOULD APPLY NOW DID THIS IS A
MATTER OF SEVEN ASSERTION BY THE
FUNDS THEMSELVES. SO THAT THAT
DEMOCRATS SUGGEST MISS. MARTINEZ
WAITED YOU KNOW TO THE EXTENT
THAT THERE IS A YOU KNOW A
GLOBAL CONFLICT GOING ON WHICH
IS HAVING A MEANINGFUL IMPACT.
ON ENERGY PRICES IN THAT MARKET
HE WOULD WITH THAT APPLY NOW.
WITH THAT BE A GOOD BASIS FOR
SUSPENDING- YOUNG. LIQUIDATION
DIVESTMENT ON THE BASIS. THANK
YOU CENTER I CAN'T TO THE EXACT.
BUT WE ARE. SCANNING THE PORT
FOR RISK ALL THE TIME WE HAVE.
TO FIVE RE FACTOR THE WE ARE
LOOK AT- AND OUR INVESTMENT
MANAGERS ARE MAKING DECISIONS
BASED ON THAT SO SOMETHING RISES
TO A LEVEL THAT IT WILL HAVE A
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE FUNDS
THEY DO TAKE ACTION OF THEIR
INTERNAL BUSINESS AFTER THEY
WORK WITH OUR EXTERNAL MANAGERS.
OF EXAMPLE OF THAT IS WITH THE
RUSSIAN INVASION OF UKRAINE.
THAT TRIGGERED ARE RISK FACTORS
RELATED TO WAR AND VIOLENCE AND
SO THERE WERE ACTIONS THAT WERE
TAKEN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. FROM
LATE FEBRUARY TO EARLY MARCH
THAT REDUCED OUR DIRECT
INVESTMENTS IN RUSSIA. I
APPRECIATE THAT AND SO IT'S ON
THE ON THE SECOND. AMENDMENT IT
IT IT REQUIRES AN ANALYSIS
METHODS OPPORTUNITIES- YOU KNOW
SO AS TO MAKE A SMART TRANSITION
AND ACTUALLY WITH A PARTICULAR
ON ECONOMIC CONDITIONS. ABOUT
FORTY BOTH RETIREMENT FUNDS AND
THE NET EMPLOYMENT EARNINGS OF
STATE WORKFORCE. AND SO EACH OF
THESE ARE RELATIVELY NEW MEMBERS
SO I WANT TO SEND STAND THEM. TO
THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS NOW
INCLUDED. WOULD WOULD THE
CONDUCT OF THAT ANALYSIS BE A
SUFFICIENT TO HOLD IN ABEYANCE.
YOU KNOW DIVESTMENTS OF SUCH
TIME IS AN ANALYSIS IS COMPLETED
. I GUESS IF I IF YEAH IF I MEAN
THIS IS A TEACHER BECAUSE-
COMMITTEE. DRAFTED A MEMBER'S
HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED- THAT IS PART
OF A SECTION OF THE BILL THAT
REQUIRES A REPORT TO COME BACK
ANNUALLY TO THE LEGISLATURE
WHICH WITHIN T. UP- SO TO SPEAK
THOSE THOSE ISSUES SO. IT WOULD
IT WOULD ALLOW THIS DEBATE TO
CONTINUE ON INTO THE
DELIBERATIONS AND DEBATE THAT
WE'RE HEARING TODAY ON ON AN
ANNUAL ASIS OF COURSE- IN IN
CERTAINLY IT WOULD BRING THAT
INFORMATION FORWARD TO THE
LEGISLATURE WANT TO STEP IN. AND
MODIFY THIS APPROACH OF
WORKFORCES IS STRUGGLING WE JUST
GOT THAT FROM THE FIRST ANNUAL
REPORT- NET IMPLEMENTER RESERVE
DROPPED OFF THE TABLE AND- THESE
OTHER CIRCUM THERE'S THE
TRANSITION- WHAT WE'RE GETTING
FROM THE ANNUAL REPORT IS THAT
OPPORTUNITIES ROUGHLY
EFFECTIVELY. A REDUCE FOSSIL
FUELS AND TRANSITION ARE NOT
AVAILABLE IF THAT WAS IN THE
REPORT THE I THINK THE IDEA IS
THAT THE LEGISLATURE COULD THEN.
ACT BY BRINGING FORWARD A
SUBSEQUENT BILL. OKAY BUT BUT
BUT BUT DID NOT OF THIS WOULD
WOULD SLOW DOWN OR OTHERWISE
INTERFERE WITH INVESTMENT
PROCESS IS CALLED UPON. NOT THE
BILL NOT OTHERWISE EXCEPT FOR
THE EXERCISE OF THE BOARD'S
FIDUCIARY. DUTIES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES SO THEY THEY
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
THAT ANALYSIS THEMSELVES- TO THE
EXTENT THAT. THIS OF. COURSE
MEASURE LANGUAGE EARLY IS IN
EFFECT- IF HEY'RE IF THEY'RE
CONTINUING ON THEIR MERRY WAY-
THEY HAVE TO AT LEAST. A
DISCLOSING TO CLEAR WHAT'S GOING
ON THIS ANNUAL REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE SO THE LEGISLATURE
COULD CONSIDER ACTION I SAW IT
SO I GUESS I MEAN. MIGHT BE
CONFUSING- ASSIST WITHOUT THEIR
MERRY WAY IS THE BILL'S
PRESCRIBED WAY. BABY FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND FROM TESTIMONIES.
THERE THERE. CURRENT INCLUDE IS
TO DO A SIR WAY OUR FIRST IF
THIS PASSES TO DO IT ANOTHER WAY
RIGHT AND SO THE ANALYSIS. MAKES
PERMISSIVE. THERE OBSERVE
ADDITION ALICE'S INACTION OR
DOES IT SIMPLY. KOREANA STRIP
COMBINE THESE TWO THINGS
SERVICES TWO TRACKS LATER IN THE
DAY WOULD THEY WOULD STILL I
ASSUME- BE REQUIRED BY
LEGISLATION TO DIVEST SO WHAT
WHAT IS WHAT IS THE ANALYSIS TO
BY WAY OF. SLOWING THAT DOWN OR
NOT- THE I THINK THE BILL'S
PRETTY CLEAR THAT DIVESTMENT HAS
TO OCCUR BETWEEN JANUARY FIRST
TWENTY TWENTY THREE AND TWENTY
TWENTY SEVEN- FIRST. THOUGH I
THINK THIS FIRST PART OF THE
ANSWER- HOWEVER THE BILL. HAS
VERY CLEAR LANGUAGE- THAT WITH
DEFERENCE TOWARDS THE PENSION
FUNDS OWN FIDUCIARY DUTY
RESPONSIBILITY AND IN IN THE
CASE OF THE LEGISLATURE HAS NO
THERE'S NOTHING IN THE BILL OR
FOR THE LEGISLATIVE INTENT- TO
ENCROACH UPON THEIR FIDUCIARY
RESPONSIBILITY SO HOW THEY
INVEST. FUNDAMENTALLY COMES DOWN
TO IT THEY'RE ON THE SAME DAY
MISTER CHAIRS WELL TO ADD YOU
KNOW SOLD ON THAT- THESE ARE
YOUR AMENDMENTS NAY APPRECIATE
THEM I THINK AT THE END OF THE
DAY THAT OVER TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNION MEMBERS THAT
CALLED FOR THIS DIVESTMENT BILL.
ARE ALSO ASKING FOR ADDITIONAL
TRANSPARENCY AS WELL I THINK
THAT'S ALSO PART OF THIS- YOU
KNOW FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND PART
OF THIS AND I KNOW THAT- YOU
KNOW. FOR SOME TIME CALPERS AND
CAL STIRS HAVE RELIED ON ONE
TYPE OF POLICY WHICH IS
ENGAGEMENT POLICY WITH BIG OIL
WHICH IS FINE. WE HAVE TO BE AT
THE TABLE IF THAT'S WHAT THEY
WANT TO DO THAT'S GREAT TO BE
ABLE TO PUSH FORWARD. YOU KNOW
AN AGENDA OF NET ZERO AT BY
TWENTY FIFTY OR TWENTY THIRTY
FIVE. BUT IT SHOULDN'T TAKE OFF
THE TABLE DIVESTMENT AS WELL
WHICH IS PROVEN TO BE- TO BE. A
GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT FOR
MEMBERS OVERALL SO THAT ANY AND
AGAINST THAT SENATORS I WAS I
REALLY DO APPRECIATE WHERE WERE
YOU IN CENTER WE'RE TRYING TO
HEAR- BUT THERE'S NOTHING
PREVENTING EITHER THESE FUNDS
FROM DIVESTING NOW SO WHAT WE'RE
DOING IS. WE'RE GIVEN VERY CLEAR
GUIDANCE THAT THAT IS IN FACT
WHAT THEY'RE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO
DO. AND YOU KNOW YOU KNOW YOU
YOU MENTIONED- UNION MEMBERS AND
AGAIN I DO APPRECIATE AND I'VE
HEARD FROM LOTS OF. THAT BUT WE
HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM MANY IN
OPPOSITION TODAY AND I HAPPEN TO
KNOW. A FAIR NUMBER OF THESE
FOLKS DID YOU KNOW MANY OF WHOM
WERE FOR THE BUILDING TRADES-
ARE THEMSELVES.
ENVIRONMENTALISTS WHO ARE
THEMSELVES. FULLY COMMITTED TO
DECARBONISING CALIFORNIA'S
ENERGY ECONOMY. BUT IT IS THEIR
VERY STRONG OPINION THAT THIS
WILL HAVE A- AN ADVERSE EFFECT
ON ON THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS
AND SO. HOW DO WE RECONCILE THAT
. BUT I WOULD SAY AGAIN- GOING
BACK TO THIS BILL WHICH IS WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
DIVESTMENT. YOU TO BE ABLE TO
DIVEST ON THEIR OWN HOWEVER IF
YOU LOOK ON THEIR WEBSITE THEY
HAVE A CLEAR POLICY THAT ALREADY
SET DEEMS DIVESTMENT AS A AS A
RISK WHEN WE KNOW IT'S REALLY
NOT THAT ALREADY DEEMS IT- IN A
NEGATIVE LIGHT IN MY OPINION AND
SO WHAT I'M SAYING WITH THIS IS
THAT WE HAVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE
ALL THEY WANTED TO DO IS ENGAGE
WITH. AND SIT DOWN AT THE TABLE
WITH EXAM WHICH IS FINE YOU SIT
ON THE TABLE WITH EXXON MOBIL TO
GET THREE MORE ENVIRONMENT
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BOARD
MEMBERS TO A TWELVE MEMBER BOARD
THAT'S GREAT THAT'S NOT A QUORUM
NUMBER TWO IT'S STILL NOT MOVING
OF THE NEEDLE FAST ENOUGH FOR
WHERE WE NEED TO GO GIVEN YOU
KNOW WHERE WE ARE CURRENTLY. SO
AGAIN THIS IS NOT LOOKING AT
NECESSARILY THE WORK FORCE AND
WHAT THIS WILL DO THIS IS SIMPLY
A DIVESTMENT BILL THAT WILL LOOK
AT ENSURING THAT IF WE ARE
DIVESTING IN THIS MOVES FORWARD
THAT THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THE
CALPERS AND STIRS BOARD WOULD
THEN START SHIFTING MORE
ENVIRONMENTALLY SET FRIENDLY-
INVESTMENTS BUT ALSO LABOR
FRIENDLY COME COMPANIES AS WELL
AS- ERIN LEHANE ALLUDED TO THE
ESG. RISK PORTFOLIO IS WHAT WE
WANT TO OUR ESG MORE- MORE ESG
INVESTMENT IS WHAT WE WANT TO BE
GEARED TOWARDS NOT JUST THE
ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND BUT ALSO
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE ARE THEY
PROTECTING LGBTQ EMPLOYEES DO
THEY HAVE GOOD GOVERNANCE AND
TRANSPARENCY CLASSES LIKE WHAT
WHAT ELSE CAN WE INVEST AND
THAT'S NOT JUST ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY BUT THE WHOLE PORTFOLIO
OF SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
INVESTMENTS- WHICH- IS WHAT WE
SHOULD BE DOING AND THEY ARE YOU
KNOW DOING SOME WORK BUT I THINK
THEY NEED TO GO FARTHER IN ORDER
FOR US TO HIT OUR GOALS. AND
THAT IS I THINK THAT IS THAT IS
A- YEAH. DIæN SO I GUESS IT DID
PROBABLY PREVENT MISLED. ONLY
SHE CAN RESPOND. FROM MISS LANE
ARE YOU BUILD STILL. SOME AYE
SHE WAS STRUGGLING WITH HER
VOICE A LITTLE BIT. I'M HERE.
DID YOU HEAR THE QUESTION ALL
RIGHT. CAN YOU SAY IT ONE MORE
TIME PUT OUT SO THAT I'M GONNA
PARAPHRASE CENTER GONZALEZ'S
ARGUMENT WHICH IS YOU KNOW THAT
THAT THAT YOU AMONG OTHERS HAVE
HAVE- SUPPORTED THROUGH THE
GENERAL APPROACH TO ESG
INVESTMENTS. BUT AS YOU KNOW
WITH RESPECT TO THIS BILL- THE
WHOLE VIEW AND MANY OF YOUR
MEMBERS HAVE MADE THE EXPLICIT
ARGUED THAT THIS BILL WILL HAVE
AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON THE STATE'S
WORKFORCE SO IF YOU COULD
RESPOND. TO THE SENATOR'S
ASSERTION THAT THAT YOU ARE
SUPPORTIVE BUT MORE GENERALLY
THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS EXACTLY
THE KIND OF THING WE SHOULD BE
DOING. WHAT THE IMPORTANT THING
IS WE CAN'T BE PICKING AND
CHOOSING. RIGHT UNFORTUNATELY
GOING TO. DIRECTION OF YOU KNOW
OF. I'VE BEEN DRESSING AND ALL
THE COMPANIES THAT WE USE
CALIFORNIA'S SHARE VALUES WITH
THE DEFENDER SAID YOU KNOW
COMPANIES THAT THEY YOU KNOW OUR
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST THE LGBTQ
COMMUNITY OR WHAT HAVE YOU IF TO
DO I HE. FEEL LIKE THIS IS
WHAT'S TROUBLING. THE WORD. THE
PENSION SYSTEMS LIKE WITHIN LIKE
A HALF HERE WITHOUT FULLY
LOOKING AT THIS IN A
COMPREHENSIVE WAY. AND THAT'S
WHERE WE'RE WHERE WE REALLY TAKE
EXCEPTION. YOU KNOW WHAT A LOT
OF THE DEVELOPMENT CONVERSATION
THAT HAPPENS OVER THE YEARS- YOU
DON'T I WANT TO BRING UP ANOTHER
YOU KNOW THAT WE SHOULD NOT A
BUILDING TRADE ISSUE BUT THE
CALL TODAY FROM ISRAEL THAT
HAPPENED YOU KNOW A COUPLE YEARS
AGO IT WOULD BE GETTING A VERY
MUCH A SELECTIVE CHOICE OF WHERE
WE WANTED TO GET BACK. OUT BASED
ON YOU KNOW. ARE LIVE OR NOT HE
- FOR AND YOUR OTHER VALUES IT
WOULD BE. MORE HELP IN THE
JORDAN SO I THINK IT'S A PICK
AND CHOOSE. ACTUALLY CONCERNING
TO US BECAUSE THAT IS. YOU KNOW
JUST BY THE NATURE DESTABILIZE.
WE WILL MOVING TOGETHER. IN A
MORE COMPREHENSIVE WAY IT WOULD
BE LESS DE STABILIZING. AND MAKE
MORE SENSIBLE PROBABLY OUR
MEMBERS. WELL IF YOU DON'T ALL
OF THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
DEPENDING ON THE PACKAGE BUT
THE- IT'S HYPOCRITICAL. TO JUST
GO AFTER YOU KNOW PULLING GAS
ENERGY SECTORS WHEREAS I THINK-
I THINK IT WAS BETTER NEWMAN
POINTED OUT THAT MANY OF THESE
COMPANIES ARE ALREADY YOU. KNOW
YOU HAVE. IN ALTERNATIVE ONE OF
ENERGY I. AND OTHER. GLOBAL OUR
CHEN OR LESS CARBON INTENSIVE
GENERATION THANK YOU MUCH YOU
KNOW BROADER WAY. HELLO TO
REALLY YOU KNOW RIGHT. THE
RESPONSIBLE. MAN AND THANK YOU
TO MR IBM AND I THOUGHT YOU
GONNA FOR US ALL LAST QUESTION
THAT I TO MISS LANE ON BEHALF OF
YOU KNOW ALL OF THE WITNESSES
THE OPPOSITION IT IS JUST TO BE
CLEAR IS IT TRUE THAT IT IS YOUR
ASSESSMENT THAT THIS BILL WOULD
NOT ONLY BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE
RETURNS OF THE INVESTING FUNDS
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WOULD BE
WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON
CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE. HUNDRED
PERCENT. THANK YOU. WORKING IN
THIS INDUSTRY. WE SHOULD THAT
SHOULD THANK YOU INDUSTRY
BECAUSE I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING.
SO THAT IS IF THAT'S HOW IT
FEELS- BUT AS I SAID I YOU KNOW
I DO BELIEVE IN THE IN THE
LARGER GOAL- RIGHT AND I AM
CONCERNED HOWEVER ABOUT THIS
POLICY. THANK YOU MISTER. MR
YEAH THANK YOU- JUST ONE SECOND
SIR WHERE IT IN. THE IF. ANYBODY
NEEDS THE EXACT- SECTION OF THE
BILL THAT DEALS WITH THE SHERRY
DUTY- JUST SPEAK UP WE CAN READ
THAT OUT. PEOPLE CAN LOOK IT UP.
THANK YOU A CENTER- THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIR I JUST WANNA MAKE
SOME COMMENTS AND FIRST. BOB
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PAINFUL
HEARINGS WHERE. I HAD A LOT OF
FRIENDS TESTIFIED ON EACH SIDE
AND SO. ARE THAT IS ALWAYS
DIFFICULT BECAUSE IT WAS
HEARTFELT AND WRONG ON EACH AND
I THINK ALTHOUGH IN SOME WAYS IT
LIBERATES US TO TRY TO DO WE
THINK IS RIGHT- WITHIN THAT. N.
IT IT IT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE I
AM A FORTY YEAR. CREDIT MEMBER
IN THE PER SYSTEM AND IT IN THE
NINETEEN EIGHTIES I WAS VERY
ACTIVE IN THE DIVESTMENT FROM
SOUTH AFRICA MOVEMENT AND THAT
HAPPENED THE VOTERS OF MY TOWN
WHEN I WAS MAYOR APPROVED THE
DIVESTMENT BALLOT MEASURE THAT
WE PUT ON THE BALLOT. INTO A LOT
OF THE SAME ARGUMENTS WERE MADE
WE HEARD TODAY A. N. THOSE
NEGATIVE THINGS DID NOT
MATERIALIZE AND I THINK IN
RETROSPECT ANYBODY THAT STOOD UP
ARE FOR NOT INVESTING IN SOUTH
AFRICA WAS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF
HISTORY. IN A AND A LOT OF THE
SAME ARGUMENTS ARE MADE THIS IS
GONNA BE LOSE WE'RE GOING TO
LOSE MONEY IT'S GONNA PUSH THE
PENSION SYSTEMS INTO A CORNER
AND IT JUST DIDN'T I THINK THE
SIGNIFICANT THING IN THE DEBATE
THAT WAS GOING ON. WHAT THERE
FIVE YEARS TO DIVEST THERE'S ALL
THE OTHER THINGS THAT CAME IN IN
THE AMENDMENTS ABOUT. ACTS OF
GOD AND EVERYTHING AND YOU KNOW
NINE ELEVEN HAPPENED SO FOUR
YEARS AND ELEVEN MONTHS AND
TWENTY FIVE DAYS AND OKAY-
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD
HOPE THAT THOSE AMENDMENTS WOULD
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. BUT IN FIVE
YEARS WITH THE PENSION SYSTEM
SHOULD HAVE THE UPS THE DOWNS
THE EVERYTHING TO BE ABLE TO
DEAL WITH THIS IN A WAY THAT IS
RESPONSIBLE TO THE FIDUCIARY
INTERESTED AND TO ME THAT TIME
FRAME HAS BEEN THE TIME FRAME.
IS THAT THAT HAS BEEN USED IT IN
OTHERS AND THE- THERE THERE BEEN
A LOT OF ARGUMENTS MADE AND I
THINK SOME OF THEM ARE
CONFLATING THINGS BECAUSE IT'S A
WHOLE ISSUE OF NOT FROM
INVESTING IN FOSSIL FUEL IN
THESE TIMES BUT- THE SOMEBODY
THAT SUPERVISED THE OIL
REGULATOR FOR EIGHT YEARS IT THE
ISSUE IS RIGHT THAT WAS SAID WE
IMPORT A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF
OIL IN CALIFORNIA. AND I THINK
THAT IS AN ARGUMENT FOR THAT IS
NOT NECESSARILY RELATED TO THIS
BILL BUT IT IS A VERY VALID
ARGUMENT IF YOU. YOU KNOW JERRY
BROWN WAS FORTHRIGHT ON THAT
ISSUE THAT ARM JEEZ IF WE FORCE
ADDITIONAL. IMPORTS BECAUSE WE
CUT CALIFORNIA PRODUCTION AND
IT'S A CHOICE BETWEEN TANKERS
AND OIL TRAINS AND ALL THESE
THINGS THAT AREN'T NECESSARILY
SAFE HOW WAS THAT SMART PUBLIC
POLICY THE REAL PUBLIC POLICY.
IS ABOUT LOWERING DEMAND IT AND
THAT IS WHAT. HAS BEEN DONE IN
THERE ALWAYS ARGUMENTS THAT WERE
MADE LIKE. THAT CALIFORNIA WAS
GOING TO GOT THE AUTOMOBILE
INDUSTRY BY DOING THE TAILPIPE
STANDARDS AND WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE WAS SO MUCH IN THE MARKET
DRAINING TWO OUT OF THE COUNTRY
CAR COMPANIES THAT MET WHAT THE
CONSUMERS WANTED. THAT IN FACT
THE GOVERNMENT HAD TO BAIL OUT
OF THE U. S. AUTO COMPANIES IN
TIME TO ALLOW THEM TO SHIFT TO
WHERE THE PUBLIC WAS IN THE
MARKET WAS AND WHEN THE- THE
REGULATIONS WERE DONE
NATIONALLY. VERY ALARMED AT THE
OTHER FORTY NINE STATES WITH
CALIFORNIA THAT WAS THE WAY THEY
DEALT WITH IT AND THAT WAS. THE
LOWERING DEMAND AND THAT THAT IS
A LOGICAL ARGUMENT TO HAVE BUT
THAT'S NOT WHAT'S CENTRAL TO
THIS BILL. ON THIS BILL IS ABOUT
INVESTING IN THE COMPANIES AND
THE LOWERING DEMAND IS A
SEPARATE ISSUE THAT I THINK WE
STILL VERY MUCH HAVE TO ADDRESS.
IT AND THE TOUGH THING IS THAT.
I GROANED I HAVE A VERY RETAIL
DISTRICT AND I MEET WITH PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME AND I MEET WITH
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST
. YOU KNOW THE VERSION AS YOU
OLDER PEOPLE OF REALLY SCREWED
THINGS UP THANKS FOR LEAVING
THIS ARE WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT
YOU WON'T EVEN BE HERE WHEN WE
HIT THE BIGGER IMPACTS BUT- HE-
YOU KNOW. HE I LIVE IN THIS
PLACE WHERE WE TREASURE THE FOG
IN THE SUMMER AND THE SUMMER
BEFORE LAST. WE LOST NINE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE HOMES
AND PLACES THAT IT NEVER BURNED
BEFORE HISTORY. AND THE WE
DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES
WERE CONSIDERING A BILL NATURAL
RESOURCES TOMORROW MORNING WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES TO
FIGHT THE FIRE THE FIRE WAS AT
FAULT FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS. WE
JUST HAD OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT AT
THE CITY LIMITS ONE BIG WIND AND
IT'S AND I WAS PACKED AND READY
TO GO IN THIS TEMPERATE SEASIDE
TOWN. AND EVERYBODY IS ASKING
WHAT ARE WE DOING HOW ARE WE
GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAKE
A STATEMENT AND WE DEAL WITH IT
AND IT'S- IT IS AND- I THINK
SOME OF THE CONCERNS. NOT NOT ON
THE INVESTMENT BUT ON THE JOBS
ARE REALLY LEGITIMATE AND IT AND
IT REALLY IS HOW DO WE MAKE SURE
THAT. THAT THERE ARE JOBS THAT
ARE GOOD PAYING JOBS WITH
PENSIONS BUT- I DON'T THINK THAT
MEANS ACCOMMODATING THE CHANGING
CLIMATE IN A WAY THAT. THAT IS
AFFECTING US EVERY YEAR WE SAY
THE FIRE SEASON IS THE WORST IN
HISTORY AND NOW. ALREADY
PREDICTING THIS NEXT ONE'S GOING
TO BE THE WORST IN HISTORY AND-
AND WE ARE SEEING THE IMPACTS OF
THE CHANGING CLIMATE NOW. AND
SO. IT MAKES THIS REALLY
DIFFICULT. BUT I THINK THAT.
THERE'S ENOUGH BILL TO THIS BILL
ON THE PAST. OF THINGS LIKE
SOUTH AFRICA BUT SO CHAU WE HAVE
FIVE YEARS TO DEAL WITH THIS.
AND WE HAVE THE AMENDMENTS THAT
TAKEN TO EMERGENCY SITUATIONS
AND- IT N. I SUSPECT IF I WENT
DOOR TO DOOR. IN MY DISTRICT I
WOULD FIND OVERWHELMING SUPPORT
FOR THIS AND SO. OF EVEN KNOW I
WANT TO WORK TO TRY TO
ACCOMMODATE EVERYBODY THAT
TESTIFIED IN THEIR WAYS WE STILL
HAVE TO DO IT. ARM I'M GOING TO
VOTE FOR THIS BILL. FIVE ZERO
ZERO THANK YOU- I WANT TO THANK
THE CHAIR. FOR GETTING INVOLVED
IN THE WAY THAT IS GOING TO I
THINK TAKE IS MORE IN THE
DIRECTION. OF WHERE I PERSONALLY
FEEL WE NEED TO GET- THE FIRST
AMENDMENT I THINK IS. BECAUSE OF
WHAT WE'RE GOING THROUGH WITH
THE UKRAINE AND RUSSIA THAT
MAKES SENSE TO PUT THAT IN MAYBE
A FEW YEARS AGO WE WOULDN'T HAVE
THOUGHT OF THAT BUT WE ARE IN A
REAL LIFE SITUATION REAL REAL
TIME IN HERE- THIS IS NOT A-
GOOD GUYS VERSUS THE BAD GUYS.
THIS IS. GOOD GUYS BAD GUYS ON
BOTH SIDES OF THE OF THE LINER
THE EQUATION HERE ANNA I THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. THAT
EVERYONE WHO CALLED IN IN
OPPOSITION IS NOT OPPOSE. TO A
CLEANER ENVIRONMENT IS NOT
OPPOSE IS NOT FIGHTING FOR THE
JOBS BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE
ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT AND I
THINK WE REALLY HAVE TO REMEMBER
THAT AS WE LOOK TO FIND THESE-
THE SOLUTIONS AND THE BEST WAY
OF GETTING WHERE WE HAVE TO GET.
OUT ONE THING- BUT IF IT WAS
BROUGHT UP TODAY OR IN THE PAST
IS THE AND I THINK THAT WAS A
QUESTION BY- SENATOR NEWMAN IS
THE IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE FOSSEL
FEEL WHAT IS A FOSSIL FUELS. IF
YOU'RE DOING BOTH YOU KNOW IF
YOU'RE DOING BOTH PRODUCTION OF
FOSSIL FUEL AND YOU'RE DOING
PRODUCTION OF CLEAN CLEAN ENERGY
SO I JUST WANT TO. FOR ME THESE
AMENDMENTS- INDICATED THE- AN
INCLUSION OF THE ISSUES THAT I
CARE ABOUT. THAT WERE NOT IN THE
OTHER VERSION OF. SO I WOULD
LIKE TO ESPECIALLY OF THE ONE
RELATED TO AND NOT CONTRIBUTING
TO ECONOMIC CONDITIONS THAT
WOULD DAMAGE THE RETIREMENT
FUNDS OR THE EMPLOYMENT EARNINGS
OF THE WORK FORCE IS SOMETHING
THERE THAT I THINK IS REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT. MAYBE WE COULD
CONTINUE TO I HOPE WE CAN
CONTINUE TO WORK ON AND THE
OTHER ONE IS THE ADDAMS THE TIME
FRAME. TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN HI
WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN THEE
CONVERSATIONS OVER THE LAST FEW
MONTHS ABOUT WHAT YEAR HOW DO WE
GET TO THAT FINAL THE GOALS AND
YET YOU KNOW MAKE SURE- MOVING
IN THAT DIRECTION AND NONE OF
THEM ARE THIS. QUICK AND I KNOW
QUICK SOUNDS TERRIBLE BECAUSE
THINGS ARE HAPPENING- AS SENATOR
LEONARD SAID YOU KNOW THESE
FIRES AND EVERYTHING THAT'S
THAT'S GOING ON BUT TO ME
COMPARED TO THE OTHER ONES AND
I'M NOT SURE IF THE IF THE
AUTHOR HAS A- OF A PARTICULAR
EXPLANATION AS TO WHY TWENTY
TWENTY SEVEN. COMPARED TO A LOT
OF THE OTHER STATES THAT WE'RE
WORKING TOWARDS AS A STATE
WORKING IN- AND UNDER MUCH YOU
KNOW MORE. 552-040-2040 FIVE I
KNOW THERE IS A CRISIS IS AN
URGENCY BUT WHY EXISTE. COMPARED
TO THE DATES THAT WERE
ADDRESSING AS A STATE- BETTER
FOR THEIR HUESO I HOPE. THAT
BOTH OF REGARDS TO THE DATE ON
BOTH OF AND THE SECOND AMENDMENT
ON THE ECONOMIC IMPACT- THAT WE
COULD. WORK FURTHER ON THAT
FRONT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
THE- MORE I UNDERSTAND THAT ARE
CHAIR HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS.
OKAY THANK YOU- IF YOU'LL LET ME
MAKE A COUPLE. THAT IS. THAT IS
NOT MAYES MEDINA SOMEBODY. WE
STILL HAVE A MODERATOR THAT CAN
ASK PEOPLE TO ME THAT WAS NOT ME
SOMEBODY JUST SPILLED ALL THEIR
DISHES ON THE TABLE FOR NOVEMBER
THAT'S RIGHT IT IS I THINK IT'S
WORTH NOTING HERE THAT JUST ONE
LAST COMMENT THAT CENTER LATE
ACTION MADE A VERY GOOD POINT
WHICH IS. EITHER THE WORK WE
SHOULD BE DOING THE WORK WE ARE
DOING BUT THERE THAT WE SHOULD
REALLY ALWAYS IS ON DEMAND ON ON
SHIFTING THE DEMAND CURVE IN
CALIFORNIA SO I THINK THE
QUESTION OF THE S. WITH RESPECT
TO THIS BILL AS ADMIRABLE AS ITS
INTENT IS DOES IT DO THAT AND I
THINK THE ANSWER UNFORTUNATELY
ISN'T NO IT WILL NOT DO THAT IT
MAY IT MAY DEGENERATE SHIFT THE
SUPPLY CURVE. RIGHT BY BY
CHANGING KIND OF THE YOU KNOW
THE FIVE FINANCIAL POSTURE BUNCH
COMPANIES WHO IN THIS INDUSTRY-
THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAVE THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THE
COSTING CALIFORNIANS MORE
BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT CHANGED THE
DEMAND IN CALIFORNIA WE WILL
STILL AS AS I THINK MISCELLANY
MENTION WITH YOU KNOW FOR THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE- SOME. THIRTY
MILLION PEOPLE GIVER TAKING
CALIFORNIA WE DRIVING IT
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND
UNTIL WE. FIGURE OUT HOW TO GIVE
THEM AN ALTERNATIVE. MUCH OF
THIS WON'T MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
WHEN FOR. ALTHOUGH IT WILL BE
EIGHT EIGHT. YOU KNOW IN ANOTHER
PRESENT FOR HOW WEAK- SORT
PRESCRIBE TERMS TO CALPERS AND
CAL STIRS. TO DO THEIR FIDUCIARY
DUTY WHICH AGAIN I THINK FOLKS
WHO MADE THEIR DOING THEIR BEST-
AS IT IS- SO. WITH THAT I'LL
TURN IT BACK TO YOU. OKAY THANKS
CENTER. LET ME. LET ME JUST. SAY
THIS AGAIN WHEN I THINK OF THE
AUTHOR FOR ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS AT THIS COMMITTEES
COME UP WITH TO. IMPART I THINK
A SENATOR ALSO WAS ALLUDING TO-
TO. TO BEGIN. A AS THIS
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS HAS TO THIS
BILL CONTINUES TO GO FORWARD. TO
IDENTIFY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE
OF FURTHER DEBATED AND
DELIBERATED- BE ON THE FIVE
PERSONS IN THIS COMMITTEE AND I
SAY. THAT EFFICACY THE EFFICACY
OF THIS BILL IS IN QUESTION I'M
I'M GOING TO SUPPORT. THE BILL
BUT- QUESTION OF WHETHER IN THIS
WILL MAKE AN IMPACT ON. THE
REDUCTION OF GHG WHICH ACCORDING
TO UNITED NATIONS THIS MORNING
NEEDS TO BE ACHIEVED AT A 43%
LEVEL BY TWENTY THIRTY OR WERE
IN BIG TROUBLE- IN THAT'S NOT TO
GIVE UP AFTER TWENTY THIRTY TO
TWENTY THIRTY FIVE AND SO ON BUT
THAT'S THE PIECE. THAT WE'RE
TOLD BY- FOLKS IT SHOULD BE
TRUSTED AT LEAST IN THIS
COUNTRY- THE UNITED NATIONS IN
IN SCIENTISTS AND EXPERTS FROM.
ALMOST TWO HUNDRED DIFFERENT
JURISDICTIONS AROUND THE WORLD
TELLING US THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE
TO GET TO THE QUESTION IS DOES
THIS PARTICULAR BILL HELP US GET
THERE ANYMORE RAPIDLY THEN WE'RE
GOING INTO THE GET THERE
WITHOUT. HURTING WORKFORCE DOES
HE GET THERE WITHOUT UNDERMINING
THE WORKERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY
PAYING IN OR WORKERS WHO ARE
CURRENTLY- ENJOYING THE
PENSIONS- I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T
KNOW WHO'S HERE TODAY- ABOUT THE
EFFICACY- I LISTEN TO EVERYONE
VERY CAREFULLY TODAY. IN HIS.
VERY DIFFICULT TO READ BUT WHAT
WE HEARD FROM THE OPPOSITION I
DON'T THINK I COULD DO IT TODAY
WHO WAS A BRILLIANT OPPOSITION-
BUT IT'S ALSO- IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME
TO READ BUT THE FACT THAT WE
NEED TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD. IN
I JUST WANT TO CLOSE MY OWN
COMMENTS IN IN SUPPORT TODAY OF
GETTING THIS BILL OUT OF
COMMITTEE BY SAYING THE ONLY
THING I'M ABSOLUTELY SURE OF
THIS IS HERE TODAY IS THAT WE
NEED TO GET THE BILL OUT OF
COMMITTEE. SO THAT THIS ISSUE OF
EFFICACY CAN CAN CAN ACHIEVE A
BROADER DEBATE IN THIS
LEGISLATURE SOMETIMES THAT
HAPPENS AND SOMETIMES.
OCCASIONALLY HERE AS EACH YEAR I
FEEL THAT MY JOB IS SIMPLY
SUPPORT OR OPPOSE LIKE EVERYONE
ELSE IT COMES FORWARD. BASED ON
MY VALUES. THERE ARE A FEW TIMES
. THAT COME ALONG WORK I FEEL
THAT MY JOB IS TO. MAKE SURE
THAT THE BILL ADVANCES TO THE
BROADER DEBATE THAT REALLY NEEDS
TO HAPPEN ON THESE ISSUES- AND I
THINK- EVEN IS ELAINE TALKING
ABOUT THE BROADER DEBATE OF IF
YOU'RE GOING TO DIVEST DO YOU
AVOID THAT SLIPPERY SLOPE OR DO
YOU EMBRACE THE ISSUE OF
ALIGNING CALIFORNIA'S VALUES
WITH THEIR PENSION INVESTMENT IS
A MUCH BROADER DISCUSSION- IF
THAT DISCUSSION IS GOING TO
HAPPEN THIS YEAR IN THIS
SESSION. WE NEED TO MOVE THIS
BILL FORWARD BECAUSE IT'S
OBVIOUSLY TRIGGERING THAT
CONVERSATION AND I THINK THAT'S
A GOOD THING- WE- IF THE BILL
GETS OUT TODAY LIKELY WE WILL
ALL. HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO
MAKE A DECISION BASED ON OUR
THIS IS OUR VALUES IN BASED ON
WHAT WE THEN BELIEVE THE
EFFICACY OF THE BILL AS FURTHER
AMENDED IS AS FOR THE DEBATED-
IN THAT'S GOING TO BE A TOUGH
VOTE THIS COULD BE A TOUGH FOR
B. AS WELL BUT TODAY I'M GOING
TO VOTE FOR GETTING. THE BILL
OUT OF COMMITTEE INCLUDED ALONG
SO THAT BROADER DEBATE CAN
OCCUR- THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OF METAL BY
SHERRY I KNOW YOU HAVE TO
QUESTIONS ALREADY BUT WANT TO
MAKE SURE. THAT THE CIRCLE BACK
TO IN CASE THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE
YOU NEED TO SAY IT IS JUST
GETTING. BROWN TO OF COURSE. I
JUST WANT O SORT OF JUST
REITERATE THAT THE COMMENT THAT
. I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT BEHIND
THE BILL AND- JUST THE CONCERN
THAT I HAVE WITH REGARDS TO IF
WE'RE GOING TO ADVANCE ANY
ENVIRONMENTAL- PROGRESS YOU KNOW
WITH THE URGENCY I THINK
CALIFORNIA CAN LEAD THE WAY- AND
IT HAS BEEN LEADING THE WAY THE
PROBLEM IS THAT. WE WERE.
REGULATING OUR OWN STATE THE
POINT WHERE WE CAN'T DO. I DO A
JOB WELL DONE AND WE EXPECT
OTHER COUNTRIES TO DO IT ON OUR
BEHALF WHETHER IT'S INVEST
DIVESTMENT IN THIS IN YOUR WITH
YOUR BILL BUT THE IMPACT THAT
HAS ON THE MARKET- WITH.
LIMITING OUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE
AND MANUFACTURE HERE VERSUS
HAVING TO IMPORTED I THINK IT'S
JUST A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME.
BECAUSE AS AS MENTIONED EARLIER
THE DEMAND IT HAS TO BE- AND I
THINK WE ARE DOING PROGRESS IN
THAT SENATOR- MAN I THINK I
THINK THE CONSUMERS IN
CALIFORNIA ARE BECOMING MUCH
MORE EDUCATED AND THEY ARE
MAKING. CHOICES THEY HAVE MORE
CHOICES THAN THEY'VE EVER HAD
BUT I THINK IT'S A SLOW PROCESS-
JUST THE WAY THE HUMAN NATURE IS
BUT I THINK CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN
AND WILL BE LEADING THE WAY THE
PROBLEM THAT I SEE. IS MOSTLY
WHAT'S HAPPENING INTERNATIONALLY
. THANK YOU VERY MUCH- IN
pBECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THAT
SITUATION WE'RE GOING TO START
MOVING ALONG HERE AND TO TRY TO
PICK UP THE PACE OF THE
COMMITTEE AT THIS POINT- BUT AT
THIS POINT WE- ENTERTAIN AS WELL
SURE I WOULD HAVE. THE BILL. DID
YOU MOVE THE BILL JUST THINK
IT'S JUST GOING FOR A MOTION
THANK YOU FOR THAT- THERE'S ON A
MOTION FOR WAS CONSUMED CALL THE
ROLL CALL- I'M SORRY CENTER
CONSOLE AS YOU DO OF THE
OPTICAL- I WAS LIKE YOU BEEN
CLOSING ALL. ALONG HERE. KIND OF
SORT OF AND I APPRECIATE THE
DEBATEI REALLY DO REGARDLESS OF
WHAT SIDE YOU'RE ON AND IN THE
NEED FOR MORE DISCUSSION BECAUSE
I THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED
WAS TO ENSURE THAT WE HAD MORE
DISCUSSION WE SHOULDN'T SHUT THE
DOOR- ON THIS JUST BECAUSE WE
HAVE SOME FRIENDS OPPOSE OR SORT
OF SUPPORTING ART CETERA. AND I
KNOW YOU'RE ALL- YOU ALSO
PROVIDED REALLY INCREDIBLE
INSIGHT AND I RESPECT THE
OPPOSITION DEEPLY IN FACT I
RESPECTED SO MUCH THAT I THINK
THAT IF WE WOULD HAVE INVESTED
QUITE HONESTLY A FEW YEARS AGO-
ED CALPERS AND STIRS WOULD HAVE
HAD ELEVEN BILLION DOLLARS IN
CLEAN ENERGY. WHICH WOULD HAVE
SAID HAD YOU KNOW PEOPLE ON THE
JOB RIGHT AWAY THIS CLEAN ENERGY
FIELD AND I THINK WE COULD HAVE
BUT EASE THE TRANSITION A LITTLE
BIT FASTER IN THAT SENSE BUT-
WITH ALL THAT SAID I JUST WANT
TO SAY AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THE
DEBATE THERE'S AGAIN. THANK YOU
TO BOOKS HAVE COME IN PERSONALLY
TO DEBATE AND MANY MANY FOLKS
THAT CALLED IN- AT THE END OF
THE DAY WE HAVE TO REALLY LOOK
AT THE RISKS AND OF COURSE IN
THE RATE OF RETURN. THE BEST
MEANT- HAS BEEN PROVEN AGAIN
AGAIN AND AGAIN NOT JUST
GLOBALLY BUT HERE IN CALIFORNIA
TO NOT BE THAT RISK THAT HAS
BEEN- THE ALLUDED TO BY SOME OF
THE OPPOSITION. AND SO- I ASK US
TO CONTINUE THE DEBATE AND TO
CONTINUE DISCUSSING ON BOTH
SIDES AND I WELCOME THE
OPPOSITION OF THE LIKE TO SIT
DOWN WITH ME TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT AND IN A WAY THAT'S
RESPECTFUL BUT IN A WAY THAT

HERTZBERG- IN THIS HAS TO DO
WITH- A COMMENT THAT I HAVE HERE
WITH REGARDS TO THIS IT BEING AN
ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED

UNCONSTITUTIONAL- ACCORDING TO
AN ARTICLE ELEVEN SECTION ONE B.

SENATOR PHIL. OKAY I JUST HAVE
ONE LAST ONE QUESTION. M. AND
THAT IS WITH REGARDS TO- THE
FOLLOWING QUESTION WHICH- STATE-
RIGHT NOW. WHICH EMPLOYEES ARE
INCLUDED IN DIRECT PATIENT CARE-
THIS BILL IS NOT CLEAR ON WHO
THIS DEFINITION WOULD INCLUDE-
IF YOU MIND CLARIFYING THAT
REALLY QUICK FOR THE RECORD
SPEAKS TO A FIRST ARE NURSES OR
NURSES ASSISTANTS THOSE FOLKS
WHO HAVE DIRECT ENGAGEMENT AND
PROVIDING PATIENT CARE TO OUR-
PATIENTS ARE IN A MEDICAL
SETTING SO AS ARE PRIMARILY ARE
NURSES. OKAY AND THEN LAST
QUESTION- THERE HAS BEEN A
QUESTION THAT HAS ARISEN WITH
REGARDS TO WHETHER OR NOT THIS
IS AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED WITHIN THE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING UNITS WOULD YOU LIKE
TO. MAKE A COMMENT ON THAT- NO I
THINK WE'RE TRYING TO BRING THIS
IN LINE. AGAIN TO. THE REST OF
THE WORKERS WHO. OUR CONSIDER ME
GIVEN THE SAME LEVEL OF
CONSIDERATION FOR REST BREAKS AS
WE SAID NURSES IN PRIVATE SECTOR
ARE FORTY- THESE BREAKS AND THEY
DO THE EXACT SAME WORKS SO I
DON'T SEE IT AS A COMPLETE CUT
OF COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ISSUE
BUT- I'LL LET MY- WITNESSES MY
EXPERT ITNESSES AT AND IF THEY
HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEIR- SURE
ABSOLUTELY- MADAM CHAIR. I'D
ALSO ADD THAT. BUT THE
BARGAINING IS CONSIDERED IN THIS
BILL IT ACTUALLY EXEMPT. FROM
THESE PROVISIONS EMPLOYEES ARE
COVERED BY COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AGREEMENT IF THAT'S HELPFUL.
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT M. AS A WE
HAVE A MOTION TO MOVE THE BILL
BY SENATOR RAZA. OKAY LET'S SEE
. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SENATOR
DRAW SO THE MOTION IS TO PASS
BUT FIRST AMEND AND RE REFER TO
THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
. SB THIRTY THIRTY FOR THE
MOTION IS TO PASS THE FIRST
AMENDMENT AND FOR TO THE
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
CORTES C. OR CHOI BO. NO FOR
TROUBLED NO THE RUSSELL. HI THE
REST OF I LAYERED NEWMAN AYE
NEWMAN I MOVEMENT THAT. I WILL
PUT THAT FELL ON THE CALL FOR
ABSENT MEMBERS. THANK YOU OF
CHAIR MEMBERS THANK YOU. I KNOW
THAT THERE. IS A- NEXT WE HAVE
SENATOR LEYVA PRESENTING SB.
THIRTEEN FORTY THREE. READY
PLEASE PROCEED GET ALL RIGHT
GOOD EVENING EVERYONE ALL RIGHT
GOOD AFTERNOON MATT OR EVENING
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS SB
THIRTEEN FORTY THREE SIX TO
ENSURE THAT EVERY TEACHER HAS A
RETIREMENT SECURITY AFFORDED TO
THEM BY OUR STATE PENSION
SYSTEM. SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL
REQUIRES ALL CHARTER SCHOOLS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE CALIFORNIA
STATE TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM
CAL STIRS AND IN THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT
SYSTEM CALPERS ACCORDING TO CAL
STIRS BETWEEN 2240% OF NEWLY
CREATED CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
OPTING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE
RETIREMENT SYSTEM. BY NOT
ALLOWING TEACHERS TO ACCESS A
DEFINED BENEFIT SYSTEM TEACHERS
ARE LEFT WITH RETIREMENT OPTIONS
THAT ARE HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON
MARKET FLUCTUATIONS CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE FUNDED WITH PUBLIC
DOLLARS AND SHOULD ENSURE THAT
THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE FOR THE SAME
RETIREMENT OPPORTUNITIES AS ALL
OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEES. EVERY
TEACHER SHOULD HAVE THE SAME
OPTIONS NO MATTER WHICH PUBLIC
SCHOOL THEY DECIDE TO TEACH AT
TEACHERS ALREADY DO NOT HAVE
ACCESS TO SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS THEY SHOULD NOT BE
ADDITIONALLY FINANCIALLY
HAMPERED BY NOT HAVING ACCESS TO
CAL STIRS ARE CALPERS. EACH
TEACHER TEACHER SHOULD HAVE A
CHOICE. SB THIRTEEN FORTY THREE
ALSO PUT SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE FOR
RETIREMENT PAYMENTS WHEN A
CHARTER SCHOOL FALLS BEHIND-
SHUTS ITS DOORS COMPLETELY. WHEN
THIS OCCURS THE COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION AND WHICH TO CHARTER
SCHOOLS LOCATED HAS BEEN
REQUIRED TO PAY THE BILL THIS
CAN LEAVE THE COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS IN UNEXPECTED. AND
UNWARRANTED RETIREMENT PAYMENT
OBLIGATIONS SB THIRTEEN FORTY
THREE CORRECTS THIS BY REQUIRING
COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION TO
WITHHOLD A REASONABLE PORTION.
OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS FUNDING
DISBURSEMENT AND PAY THE
RETIREMENT RETIREMENT
OBLIGATIONS TO EACH SYSTEM
AUTOMATICALLY. SB FOUR THIRTEEN
FORTY THREE IS ABOUT PROVIDING
ALL PUBLIC EMPLOYEES WITH THE
RETIREMENT SECURITY THEY DESERVE
AND ARE FORWARDED. TEACHERS
PROVIDE GUIDANCE SUPPORT AND AN
EDUCATION TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE
OUR CHILDREN. THE LEAST WE CAN
DO IS GIVE THEM ACCESS TO A
SECURE RETIREMENT SYSTEM. MY
OFFICE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH CAL
STIRS A CLARIFYING AMENDMENTS TO
DO THE FOLLOWING. OFTEN ONLY
HAPPENS WHEN A NEW CHARTER
SCHOOLS CREATED NOT A REAL
AUTHORIZATION. THIS WILL MEAN AN
EXISTING CHARTER THAT HASN'T
BEEN PARTICIPATING ANSWERS OUR
PURSE IS REAUTHORIZED NOTHING
CHANGES FOR THEM THEY WILL BE
LEFT OUT OF THIS BILL. WITH ME
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT AND ANSWER
ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS IS
TRISTEN BROWN WITH THE
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
TEACHERS MEMBERS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU
SENATOR LEVEL NOW MOVED OUR LEAD
SUPPORT WAIT DISTRICTS AND BROWN
ARE YOU ON THE LINE. HE'S ON
RIGHT HERE IN PERSON SORRY. IT
IS AMAZING TO BE HERE IN PERSON
OUT OF HERE IN MEMBERS AND THANK
YOU FOR HAVING ME IT'S GREAT TO
BE BACK- TROSZYN BROWN CFT IN A
UNION OF EDUCATORS IN CLASS I
PROFESSIONALS WE ARE THE SPONSOR
OF THIS BILL- YOU KNOW IN SOME
WAYS I THINK IT'S- PULLING UP A
HOLE IN THE BOAT- STIRS HAS
RELEASED REPORTS. ON HOW YOU
KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT A-
TIMELINE IN THIRTY YEAR
INCREMENTS ON HOW TO- HAVE FOLKS
PAY AND THEN GET THEIR DEFINED
BENEFITS- WE START TO SEE A
LITTLE BIT OF A SHORTFALL AS
MORE AND MORE SCHOOLS. MY CODE
THE CHARTER ROUTE WITHOUT EATING
AND STIRS AND PURRS AND SO THIS
IS GOING TO PATCH THAT HOLE- AND
HAVE THAT EVERY NEW CHARTER
DON'T KNOW EXISTING WILL BE
BROUGHT IN AS AS WHAT THE
SENATOR SAID IN ORDER AMEND
OTHER ARE PENDING AMENDMENTS.
BUT THAT ALL NEW CHARTERS WILL
THEN JOIN THE PUBLIC PENSION
SYSTEMS AS ALL OTHER- PUBLIC
EDUCATION ENTITIES ARE A WE
BELIEVE THAT A PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHER WHO TEACHES AT A PUBLIC
SCHOOL- SHOULD HAVE THE THEIR
RIGHT TO THEIR PUBLIC
RETIREMENT. THEY DO NOT HOUSE OF
SECURITY BENEFITS- IN THE STATE-
AND THEN ON THE CLASSIFIED SIDE-
IT'S THE SAME IF THOSE MEMBERS
ARE CONTRACTED OUT WHICH STILL
IS POSSIBLE FOR CHARTERS TO DO-
THEN THEY TOO WOULD HAVE ACCESS
TO THEIR CALPERS BENEFIT AND
HAVE SOME RETIREMENT SECURITY-
BY THE TIME THE FINISH THEIR
CAREER. WE WANT TO DO NO HARM
EITHER TO INDIVIDUALS OR THE
SYSTEM WHICH IS WHY WE'RE NOT
GOING TO BRING IN EXISTING
CHARTERS AND IF THEY'RE NOT
PARTICIPATING HE GETS TO BE A
BIT OF A LOGISTICAL NIGHTMARE
HAVING FOLKS COME IN. BUT ALSO
YOU KNOW IF FOLKS WERE TO MOVE
FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT OF THE
SYSTEM- IF YOU'RE A PUBLIC
SCHOOL TEACHER THAT IS TAUGHT AT
A TRADITIONAL SCHOOL FOR SAY
FIFTEEN YEARS. AND THEN YOU
WANTED TO TAKE A JOB AT A
CHARTER SCHOOL THAT'S NOT
PARTICIPATING YOU MIGHT NOT BE
AWARE THAT AS A PUBLIC TEACHER
IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL YOU'RE NO
LONGER ATTAINING PUBLIC
RETIREMENT CREDIT. AND SO WE
WANT TO AT LEAST START. TO LIVE
AS I SAY STOP THE LEAK AND FROM
HERE ON OUT MAKE SURE THAT ALL
PUBLIC EDUCATORS ARE IN THE
PUBLIC RETIREMENT SYSTEM AND
HAVE MORE OF ASECURE RETIREMENT
WHEN THEIR. TIME IS UP SO WITH
THAT WE ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. AND
ALL. HERE FOR QUESTIONS THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH- MISTER
BROWN WILL NOW MOVE ON TO OUR
SECOND LEAD SUPPORT WITNESS

HIGH COSTS AS ALL OF YOU KNOW-
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT A PUBLIC
PENSION SYSTEMS. AND AS MANY OF
YOU KNOW PARTICULAR MEMBER OR

ONE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE NOT
FUNDED COMPARABLY TO TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND NEW SCHOOLS
IN PARTICULAR HAVE AVERY
DIFFICULT TIME. OF MEETING THEIR
EXPENSES SECOND IT WOULD WREAK
HAVOC WITH NEW CHARTER SCHOOLS
PARTICULARLY EVEN AS THE BILL IS
AMENDED IF I UNDERSTAND
AMENDMENTS CORRECTLY THEY'RE NOT

WOULDN'T POSE THIS REQUIREMENT A
NEW CHARTER SCHOOLS AND IF A-
PRE EXISTING NONPROFIT COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATION THAT HAS
EXISTING RETIREMENT SYSTEMS
WANTS TO START A CHARTER SCHOOL.
THIS WOULD MAKE THINGSVERY
COMPLICATED BY EFFECTIVELY
MANDATING TWO DIFFERENT PENSION
SYSTEMS AND SCHEMES WHICH NOT
ALLOWED UNDER FEDERAL TAX LAW
AND PENSION OFF. THIRD IT
MANDATES THAT COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS- TAP WITH UP TO
THREE MONTHS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
RETIREMENT CONTRIBUTIONS IN
ADVANCE CREATING SIGNIFICANT
CASH FLOW PROBLEMS AND AGAIN NEW
SCHOOLS IN PARTICULAR. ARE
USUALLY VERY LEAN ON CASH
PARTICULARLY GIVEN HOW LATE THE
STATE PROVIDES MONEY TO SCHOOLS.
UNDER THE STATE'S FUNDING
SYSTEM- FINALLY IT GRANTS.
STURGEON PERS UNFETTERED
AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH- JUST
ABOUT ANY RULE OR REGULATION IF

THANK YOU CENTER NEWMAN THANK
YOU MET MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS THE
BIGGEST PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO
LIVE IN POVERTY ARE WOMEN OVER
SIXTY FIVE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT
HAVE ACCESS TO A PENSION MORE
SPECIFICALLY A DEFINED BENEFIT
PENSION. MOST OF OUR TEACHERS
THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR
TEACHERS ARE WOMEN- WHAT I HEAR
FROM THE OPPOSITION IS THAT THEY
CAN'T AFFORD THIS TO ME IT'S
LIKE SAYING WE'RE GOING TO OPEN
A BUSINESS BUT WE CAN'T REALLY
AFFORD TO OPEN THE BUSINESS IF
WE HAVE TO PAY PEOPLE. A MINIMUM
WAGE OR IMPAIR EVERYBODY FIVE
DOLLARS AN HOUR SO THAT WAY WE
CAN KEEP OUR BUSINESS GOING IF
YOU'RE GOING TO OPEN A CHARTER
SCHOOL YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE
YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE WORKING THE HARDEST FOR
YOU AND THOSE ARE T. SHIRTS
TEACHERS. AND A DEFINED BENEFIT
PENSION I GOT TO NEGOTIATE THOSE
FOR TWELVE YEARS AND IT WAS A
REAL PRIVILEGE BECAUSE SOMETIMES
PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE WHEN
THEY'RE YOUNG AND WORKING AND
GETTING A PAYCHECK AS I TELL
YOUNG PEOPLE TIME YOU'RE GOING
TO GET OLD ONE DAY AND YOU'RE
STILL GOING TO WANT TO EAT. AND
A FOUR ONE K. DOES NOT DO THE
SAME THING FOR PEOPLE AND I'M
GUESSING THAT'S WHAT THE
ALTERNATE RETIREMENT SYSTEM IS I
ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW. IS VERY
DIFFERENT THAN SOMETHING WHERE
YOU MONTHLY GET A SPECIFIC
AMOUNT OF MONEY THIS BILL WILL
MAKE SURE THAT OUR TEACHERS IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE TAKING CARE

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA HAS A PLACE- HAS IN
PLACE A POLICY. EQUAL PAY FOR
EQUAL WORK. AND THAT POLICY
REQUIRES VENDOR COMPANIES THAT
HAVE ONE OF AN ESTIMATED FOUR
HUNDRED SERVICE CONTRACTS WITH
YOU SEE. TO PAY THEIR COMPANY'S
EMPLOYEES. WAGES AND BENEFITS
EQUAL. TO WHAT YOU SEE. PAYS ITS
OWN SERVICE WORKERS WHO WORK
DIRECTLY FOR YOU SEE. UC'S
RESPONSIBLE VENDOR COMPANY
VIOLATIONS OF THIS POLICY
HIGHLIGHTS THE NEED FOR S. B.
THIRTEEN SIXTY FOUR. AND THE PAY
INFORMATION REQUIRED UNDER THIS
BILL. QUOTE UNIVERSITY IS NOT
THE EMPLOYER OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS AND DOES NOT HAVE
THIS INFORMATION AND QUOTE.
THOUSANDS OF IMPACTED SERVICE
WORKERS WE DO NOT DO NOT WORK
FOR YOU SEE NOR ARE THEY COVERED
BY A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
AGREEMENT. AND SINCE NO LAW
REQUIRES THE PRIVATE EMPLOYERS
TO TELL THESE WORKERS THAT
UNIVERSITY OR ANY STATE AGENCY
HOW WAGES AND BENEFITS BEING
PAID COMPARED TO WHAT THE UC.
EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK
REQUIRES THERE IS NO EFFECTIVE
OR LEGAL WAY FOR WORKERS TO
ENFORCE THE UC POLICY OR A PATH
WHERE WORKERS TO RECOVER THEIR
LOST WAGES. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
HIGHLIGHT THAT THE BILL WILL NOT
NEGATIVELY IMPACT ANY STRIDES
YOU SEE IS MAKING TOWARDS ANY
THIRD PARTY VENDOR COMPLIANCE.
THE BILL MILL IT MERELY PROVIDES
AN OPPORTUNITY. FOR WORKERS TO
RESOLVE A SITUATION WHERE YOU
SEE WAS GIVEN MISINFORMATION BY
THE VENDOR WITH THE VENDOR MADE
