COMMITTEE MEMBERS. J. THE CHANCE
THIS MORNING TO CRIED RIGHT
INFORMATION ON THE CONTACT
AMENDMENTS IN FRONT OF THE
SENATE GEO COMMITTEE MY NAME IS
NATHAN VOCALLY ON THE SENIOR
ADVISER FOR TRAVEL NEGOTIATIONS
FOR THE OFFICE. BEFORE WE START
I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE TRIBES
IN THEIR CHAIRPERSONS CHAIR
MARKETS QUERO CAMPER VAN TO DIG
WHEN YOU MISSION INDIANS JOSE
SIMON THE THIRD FOR MIDDLETOWN
RANCHERIA CHADLI A CISCO FOR
SANTA ROSA RANCHERIA AND CHAIR
BRENDA LOVELL FOR TABLE MOUNTAIN
RANCHERIA. THESE FOUR TRIBES ARE
ALL CURRENTLY CONDUCTING CLASS
THREE GAMING PURSUANT TO TRIBAL
STATE GAMING COMPACT ORIGINALLY
SIGNED IN NINETEEN NINETY NINE
ANDREFERRED TO AS NINETY NINE
CONTACT. SB EIGHT NINETY EIGHT
WOULD RATIFY AMENDMENTS
EXTENDING THESE NINETY NINE
CONTACTS FOR ONE YEAR TO JUNE
THIRTIETH TWENTY TWENTY THREE.
I'LL GIVE A VERY BRIEF
BACKGROUND ON THE NINETY NINE
CONTACTS TOUCH ON THE RASON FOR
THE EXTENSIONS AND THEN WRAP UP
WITH THE PROCESS FOR FINALIZING
THOSE EXTENSIONS. IN TWO
THOUSAND PROP ONE A. GRANTED
TRIBES THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO
OPERATE SLOT MACHINES AND
BANKING IN PERCENTAGE CARD GAMES
IN CALIFORNIA. PROP ANDONE A
WAS CODIFIED IN THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION ARTICLE FOUR
SECTION NINETEEN WHICH ALSO
AUTHORIZES THE GOVERNOR TO
NEGOTIATE. COMPAQ'S INCLUDING
AMENDMENTS SUBJECT TO
LEGISLATIVE RATIFICATION. IN
NINETEEN NINETY NINE TO TWO
THOUSAND THE STATE ENTERED INTO
OVER SIXTY TRIBAL STATE GAMING
COMPACTS PURSUANT TO THE INDIAN
GAMING REGULATORY ACT. THE
NINETEEN NINETY NINE CONTACTS
WERE FOR AN INITIAL TWENTY YEAR
TERM EXPIRING DECEMBER THIRTY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY. THE
NINETEEN NINETY NINE CONTACTS
ARE AUTOMATICALLY EXTENDED FOR
EIGHTEEN MONTHS FOR TRYING THAT
DID NOT YET HAVE A NEW CONTACT.
THOSE NINETY NINETY NINE
CONTACTS NOW EXPIRE BY THEIR OWN
TERMS ON JUNE THIRTIETH TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. THE NINETEEN NINETY
NINE CONTACTS ALLOWED BUT DO NOT
REQUIRE SURE I'VE IN THE STATE
TO EXTEND THEIR TERM BY MUTUAL
AGREEMENT. MORE RECENTLY IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE EIGHT TRIBES
WITH NINETEEN NINETY NINE
CONTACTS SIGNS NEW CONTACTS.
THREE OF THESE CONTACTS
INCLUDING THOSE FOR MIDDLETOWN
RANCHERIA AND SANTA ROSA
RANCHERIA WERE RATIFIED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND SUBMITTED TO THE
SECRETARY FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
INTERIOR FOR REQUIRED FORTY FIVE
DAY REVIEW. UNDER THE INDIAN
GAMING REGULATORY ACT. THE
PRIMARY REASON FOR THESE
EXTENSIONS IS THAT IN NOVEMBER
TWENTY TWENTY ONE THE ASSISTANT
SECRETARY FOR INDIAN AFFAIRS.
PURSUANT TO AUTHORITY DELEGATED
FROM THE SECRETARY OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR
DISAPPROVE THREE OF THE GAMING
COMPACTS. AS A RESULT OF THOSE
CONTACT US APPROVALS IT BECAME
CLEAR THAT THE STATE AND
REMAINING NINETEEN NINETY NINE
CONTACT CRIMES. WOULD NOT BE
ABLE TO NEGOTIATE A NEW COMPACT
WITH SUFFICIENT CONFIDENCE THAT
THE NEW CONTACTS WOULD TAKE
EFFECT UNDER A GRAD. BEFORE
TRIES NINETY NINE CONTACT
EXPIRES ON JUNE THIRTIETH OF
THIS YEAR. A ONE YEAR EXTENSION
SHOULD AFFORD SUFFICIENT TIME TO
HELP ADDRESS THE UNCERTAINTY
CREATED BY THE RECENT CONTACT IS
APPROVALS. AND ALLOW THE STATE
TO NEGOTIATE NEW CONTACTS WITH
TRIBES THAT ARE INTERESTED IN
DOING SO. THESE FOUR TRIBES HAVE
ALL AGREED TO ONE YEAR
EXTENSIONS FOR THEIR NINETEEN
NINETY NINE CONTACTS. OTHER
TRIBES HAVE PUBLICLY EXPRESSED
INTEREST IN A LONGER TERM
EXTENSION. THE EXTENSION IS
EFFECTIVELY AN AMENDMENT TO THE
CONTACT FOR PURPOSES OF STATE
LAW. THE AMENDMENTS WERE
NEGOTIATED BY THE GOVERNOR AND
MUST BE RATIFIED BY THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE. AND
AMENDMENTS ONLY TO EXTEND THE
TERM OF THE CONTACT UNDER
FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE.
THE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF INTERIOR TO APPROVE THE
EXTENSION BUT IT STILL MUST BE
SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT.
THESE AMENDMENTS TO EXTEND THE
CONTACTS FOR ONE YEAR WOULD NOT
PREVENT THE STATE TRIBES FOR
MUTUALLY AGREEING TO FURTHER
EXTENSIONS AS NECESSARY. I
APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S TIME TODAY
AND I REMAIN AVAILABLE TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH VOCALOID APOLOGIES FOR
MISPRONOUNCING YOUR NAME OUT AT
THE TOP. THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM I
GET IT ALL IN ALL DIFFERENT
KINDS OF WAYS THANK YOU SO MUCH
APPRECIATE IT BEFORE WE MOVED

THE PUBLIC WANTED TO PARTICIPATE
THE CALLING NOW AS A REMINDER
PLEASE DIAL THIS TOLL FREE

THE DISCUSSION BACK TO THE
MEMBERS- MANY MEMBERS HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THE WAS
QUITE CLEAR AND CONCISE. FOR
MISTER MOBILITY- YOU KNOW I DO
HAVE ONE HERE- A MISTER VOCALLY-
THERE'S BEEN SOME CONCERN BY A
NUMBER OF THE NINETEEN NINETY
TRIBES YOU BREAK OUT OF-
MENTIONED IT DID A YEAR MAY NOT

SOME IDEA EXCEPT SURE THEY'VE
HEARD ABOUT THIS. THE COULD YOU
SAY THAT ONE MORE TIME I HEARD
THAT YEAH THERE'S BEEN CONCERNED
ABOUT A NUMBER BY A NUMBER OF
TRIBES IN ONE YEAR MAY NOT BE

TODAY ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
THEY THINK THAT THEY CAN DO THIS
BUT THERE'S OTHERS AND I KNOW
THE MEMBERS OF HEARD THIS AND-
CAN YOU COMMENT ON WHY YOU THINK
A YEAR IS. AB- IS- ACCEPTABLE OR
OR WHAT IN WHAT'S GOING ON HERE
IN YOUR MIND YEAH CERTAINLY SO
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
ESSENTIALLY RESET THE CLOCK BACK
TO NOVEMBER TWENTY TWENTY ONE
AND WHEN WE HAVE THOSE JUST
APPROVALS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
INTERIOR FOR THE THREE CONTACTS
WE THINK WE'RE ON TRACK TO HAVE
A PROCESS TO BE ABLE TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH NEW CONTACTS- WELL
AHEAD OF NOVEMBER TWENTY TWENTY
TWO SO WE THINK WE'RE IN GOOD
SHAPE TO GET BACK ON TO THE-
THAT ONE YEAR DELAY BUT TO GET
US BACK TO JUNE THIRTIETH TWENTY
TWENTY THREE FOR THE- FOR THE
NINETEEN NINETY NINE CONTACTS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THAT'S
HELPFUL. BUT IT APPEARS- AT
LEAST THAT'S ACCORDING TO- MY
AGENDA THAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
THE PUBLIC- DISCUSSION FIRST AND
THEN WILL ASK MEMBERS- OF THE-
PRINCIPLES OF THE PARTIES TO-
TOOK TO COMMENT SO- WILL NOW

APOLOGISE FOR MY ORIGINAL
COMMENTS I THINK I'M JUST READ
THE SCRIPT HERE SO WE ARE GOING

SYLVIA OF. THE NAGA AND VICE
CHAIRMAN- OF MORONGO ON THE
COASTLINE TO PROVIDE SOME
COMMENTS. YES THANK YOU CHAIRMAN
DONE. GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN DIED
IN MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING THE TIME
TO SPEAK THIS MORNING. WE ARE
HERE TO EXPRESS THEIR SUPPORT.
FOR SB EIGHT NINE EIGHT. IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN THE UNITED
SUPREMO COURT. RECOGNIZE
INHERENT SOVEREIGN RIGHT TO
TRIED TO HAVE GAME ON THEIR
LAND. UNITED IS THE MAGAZINE
DEDICATED TO THE PROTECTION OF
THE UNIT HERE IN RIGHT IN THE
GOVERNMENT THE GOVERNMENT
NEGOTIATION OF TRIBAL STATE
COMPACT. EITHER THAT OR
RESPECTFUL OF UNIQUE TO CONTENT
OF THE TRIBE. SB EIGHT NINE
EIGHT CERTAINLY REFLECT THE
SENATE WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THE
DECISION OF THESE FOR TRIED.
THREE WHICH ARE CAN I GET
MEMBERS. IT TAKES A YEAR LINE
EXPANSION OF THEIR CURRENT
CONTRACT TERMS. WE HAVE FOR YES
VOTE ON THE LEGISLATION. WHAT WE
AGAIN THE PORT THE RITE OF
TRIBES DECIDE WHAT IS BEST FOR
THEMSELVES. THEY MIGHT BE
KNOWLEDGE THE TRIBES HAVE
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND
DIFFERENT NEED. THERE SHOULD
NEVER BE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
COOKIE CUTTER APPROACH TO TRIBAL
AGREEMENT. AND THAT WE SUPPORT
THE RIGHT OF TRIED TO TAKE THE
ONE YEAR EXTENSION OFFERED. WE
ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE
SEVERAL OTHER TRIES INCLUDING
THE NUMBER OF THE MEGA MEMBER
TRIBE. THAT PHILIP THIRTY MONTH
EXTENSION WOULD BE MUCH BETTER
FIT FOR THEIR UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES. FOREMOST AMONG
THE FACTORS ARE MULTIPLE FEDERAL
COURT CASES THAT HAVE YET TO BE
RESOLVED. INCLUDING THE STATE ON
APPEAL AND CHICKEN RANCH
RANCHERIA THE NEWS THEM. IN THAT
CASE THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT
IN FRESNO FOUND AT THE STATE AND
NOT NEGOTIATED IN GOOD FAITH
WITH FIVE TRIED. TO THE STATE
INSISTENCE ON INCLUDING
CERTAINLY CONTACT PROVISION.
WHICH THE TRIBES HAD OBJECTED
INCONSISTENT WITH AGRA. THAT
CASE IS NOW PENDING BEFORE THE
NINTH CIRCUIT. THE DIFFERENT
CORNER FRESNO NOW HAS EIGHT
OTHER CASES PENDING IN VERY
SIMILAR ISSUE. PUBLIC RADIO
MATTERS FURTHER. EVEN TRIED TO
AGREE TO THE STATE CERTAIN TODAY
THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR WHICH
MUST ALSO REVIEW THE COMPACT
WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY
DISAPPROVE THEM FOR INCLUDING
PROVISIONS DEEMED OUT OF THE
SCOPE OF EGRA AND THEY RECENTLY
DID THE LAST FOUR RATIFIED
COMPAQ. AT THIS POINT EVEN IF
THE CASE WERE TO BE RESOLVED.
NEGOTIATING RATIFYING AND
OBTAINING THE L. I APPROVAL
THIRTY NEW COMPACT. COULD NOT BE
COMPLETED BY JUNE THIRTIETH

CALIFORNIA IS THE WORLD LEADER
IN THE MARKET HOWEVER OUR LOW

OWN THEM. IN WHITE HIGHER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS. PRIOR TO MY CURRENT
LAW I HAD OPPORTUNITY TO. CHEN
ALLEGE. DIRECT THROUGH THE- AREA
CLING FOR ALL PROGRAMS. WHICH
ALSO A FIRST FIRST PROGRAM. I
THE NEED HAVE A- ADVOCATE TO

IN EQUITY. AND LEAVES THE LONG

THE MOST A LOT. I THINK TWELVE
FIFTY WANT TO ADDRESS THE
CURRENT IN EQUITY IN THAT
DEPLOYMENT. BY CREATING OFFICE
AND THEN EQUITY ADVOCATE. IN
ADDITION TO WHAT NOT SHARING THE
OFFICE WILL PROVIDE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES
LIKE MYSELF. WITH A SINGLE
ENTITY TO HOLD ACCOUNTABLE FOR

TRANSITION. MAKE IT MORE
EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVOCATE.

WELL BUT I THINK THIS IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO OUR
SHE'S TRYING TO ACHIEVE IN THIS
BILL AND AS WE MOVE TOWARDS ARE
VERY AMBITIOUS CLIMATE GOALS I
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
TAKE A STEP BACK AND BRING THOSE
COMMUNITIES ALONG THAT YOU KNOW
THAT I'VE BEEN SPEAKING ABOUT
FOR AWHILE NOW. I KNOW THERE
WERE VERY FOCUSED ON ON HAVING
THESE ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES BY
WHEN WE THINK OF OUR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
THEY'RE NOT NECESSARY FIRST
THINKING ABOUT THAT I WANT TO
DRIVE ZERO EMISSION VEHICLE
THEY'RE THINKING DO I HAVE
TRANSPORTATION AT ALL SO THEY'RE
JUST FOCUSED ON TRANSPORTATION
THEY DON'T CARE WHAT TYPE OF
TRANSPORTATION IT IS AND IT HAS
BEEN MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT
A LOT OF THE TIMES THEY ARE TOLD
WHAT THE SHOULD BE DRIVING BUT
NOT NECESSARILY BRINGING THEM
ALONG IN TERMS OF EDUCATION AND
REALLY. AREN'T YOU KNOW PUT A
LAYING OUT WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT
THAT WE GET THERE AND SO I'M
REALLY PLEASED TO SEE THAT SHE'S
MOVING FOR WITH THIS BILL
SPECIALLY ARE OUR IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES REALLY THEY'RE JUST
THINKING ABOUT MORE PRESSING
ISSUES LIKE HOUSING FOOD HOW TO
EDUCATE THEIR KIDS AND I THINK
THAT BRINGING THEM ALONG
GRADUALLY EDUCATING THEM I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT SO HAVING THE

ON CULTURE THANK YOU THE BILL'S
ON CALL WE'RE MOVING NOW TO FILE
ITEM NUMBER SEVEN S. B. TWELVE
OH THREE BY CENTER BACKER. YOU
MAY BEGIN. THANK YOU BUT CHAIR
MEMBERS. SB TWELVE A THREE IS
ABOUT HAVING THE STATE
GOVERNMENT'S AN EXAMPLE. BY
GETTING TO NET ZERO GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSION EMISSIONS ITSELF
BEFORE ASKING EVERYONE ELSE IN
THE STATE TO DO SO. CALIFORNIA'S
BEEN LEADING THE WORLD REDUCE
OUR EMISSIONS AND ASCETICAL FOR
THE WHOLE STATE TO BE NET ZERO
BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE. WEST IN
OUR COMPANIES AND OUR CITIZENS
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS DRAMATICALLY IN ORDER
TO HIT THAT TARGET. I BELIEVE
THAT WE IN STATE GOVERNMENT NEED
TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. THIS BILL
SETS A PLANNING GOAL FOR ALL OF
OUR STATE AGENCIES TO AIM TO
ACHIEVE NET ZERO FROM THEIR OWN
EMISSIONS BY TWENTY THIRTY FIVE.
TEN YEARS AHEAD OF THE STATE AS
A WHOLE. THAT MEANS REDUCE
EMISSIONS FOR STATE AGENCIES
BUILDINGS AND VEHICLES EVAN
ELECTRICITY THEY CONSUME.
REQUIRES AGENCIES TO PUT
TOGETHER PLANS TO IDENTIFY WHAT
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO GET TO THIS
YEAR BY TWENTY THIRTY FIVE. AND
HOW MUCH IT WILL COST
INTRODUCTION TO INCLUDE THOSE
ACTIONS IN THE PLANNING PROCESS
SEES. AN BUDGET REQUESTS. THIS
BILL WE'RE BUILDING A WORK THAT
MANY FIRST AGENCIES HAVE ALREADY
BEEN DOING. IN REPORTING THEIR
EMISSIONS INVENTORIES ANNUALLY
AND MAKING PROGRESS ON REDUCING
EMISSIONS SINCE TWENTY TEN. THIS
BILL PROVIDES A CLEAR TARGET TO
MOTIVATE CONTINUED PROGRESS. TO
ALLOW AGENCIES TO ACHIEVE NET
ZERO AS COST EFFECTIVELY AS
POSSIBLE. THE BILL PROVIDES
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY IN THE
TECHNOLOGIES AND APPROACHES
AVAILABLE. IT ALSO DIRECTS DCS
IS OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY TO
ACCESS THE CENTRE OF EXPERTISE
AND ASSIST OTHER AGENCIES AND
PLANNING EXECUTION. WHAT THE
QUESTIONS ARE OFTEN HERE IS
WHETHER IT'S REALLY FEASIBLE FOR
STATE AGENCIES TO GET TO KNOW
ZERO BY TWENTY THIRTY FIVE.
BECAUSE WE CAN BE CONFIDENT THAT
IN ITS YOUR TARGET IS
ACHIEVABLE. BECAUSE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA SYSTEM IS ALREADY
SHOWING US HOW. IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN THE UC SYSTEM SET A
TARGET FOR SELF TO BE NET ZERO
BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. NOT
TWENTY THIRTY FIVE TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE. GIVEN THE HOMES THEMSELVES
ABOUT THE SAME OUT OF LEAD TIME
IS THIS BILL WOULD GET BETWEEN
NOW AND TWENTY THIRTY FIVE. AND
THE REPORT BE ON TRACK TO
ACHIEVE THAT TARGET IN JUST A
COUPLE MORE YEARS. AGAIN THAT'S
NOT GOING TO BE OFF EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS THAT WILL PLAY PARTLY
THROUGH OFFSETS IN THE HAVE TO
HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT-
WHAT. ARE HIGH QUALITY OFFSETS
IN WITH THOSE- AGREED TO BE. I
DO NOT TO CONCERNED AGENCIES
HAVE NOT YET DEVELOPED PLANS.
FOR GETTING THAT ZERO. AND I
THINK MY COLLEAGUES THE CRIME
WORKING GROUP FOR THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION ON THIS TICKET TO
REMAIN. AND SO WE- AND WE NEED A
BETTER UNDERSTAND THE
FEASIBILITY AND COST OF
ACHIEVING THE NETS RECALL ONCE
THEY DO SO. SO AGAIN PASSING
THIS BILL WE'VE MADE THIS BILL.
IS NOT A BINDING COMMITMENT TO
THAT ZERO BY TWENTY THIRD FEB
WERE COMMITTING TO UNKNOWN
FUTURE BUDGET EXPENDITURES. THE
LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO DECIDE HOW FAR.
AND HOW FAST. YOU GO THROUGH
FUTURE BUDGET PROCREATION ONCE
THOSE PLANS ARE DEVELOPED. FOR
THIS BILL WILL BE AN IMPORTANT
FIRST STEP TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING
WHAT IS GOING ON WHAT'S GOING TO
TAKE. TO GET TO KNOW ZERO. AND
HAVING THE WHOLE STATE
GOVERNMENT START HEADING IN THAT
DIRECTION. I'M AGAIN ONCE THEY
GET KNOWLEDGE THAT SECOND
GROUP'S ASSISTANCE. A PARTICULAR
CENTER BY CAL SKI CENTER
CABALLERO. IMPROVING THIS BILL
ALONG WITH THE COMMITTEE AND
EXPECT TO ASK FOR AYE VOTE.
HERE'S A WITNESS I HAVE CAITLYN
ROGER SUTTER FROM EDF SHE'S A
SENIOR MANAGER OF U. S. CLIMATE
POLICY. SIR PLEASE BEGIN. WHEN
RATHER SUTTER SENIOR MANAGER FOR
U. S. CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL
DEFENSE FUND I'M PLEASED TO JOIN
YOU TODAY IN SUPPORT OF SENATOR
BACKERS SB TWELVE OH THREE TO
ESTABLISH A GOAL FOR ALL STATE
AGENCIES TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS BY
TWENTY THIRTY FIVE. AS
YESTERDAY'S INTERGOVERNMENTAL
PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE REPORT
ONCE AGAIN MADE CLEAR. THE WORLD
IS SWIFTLY MOVING TOWARD ONE
POINT FIVE DEGREES OF WARMING.
BUT THE REPORT ALSO MAKES CLEAR
THAT. WE HAVE THE TOOLS THE
TECHNOLOGY IN THE RESOURCES TO
MAKE THE NECESSARY TRANSITION.
SB TWELVE OH THREE IS ONE STEP
IN THIS TRANSITION FOR
CALIFORNIA BY ASKING STATE
AGENCIES TO INVENTORY THEIR
EMISSIONS TO SET INTERIM TARGETS
FOR REDUCING THEIR EMISSIONS
TOWARD NET ZERO. AND DEVELOP A
PATH TO MEET THOSE TARGETS
CALIFORNIA WILL TAKE A BIG STEP
FORWARD IN UNDERSTANDING HOW TO
ULTIMATELY ACHIEVE NET ZERO
EMISSIONS ECONOMY WIDE. FULL
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AGENCY'S
PLANS WILL STILL BE CONTINGENT
ON FUELPERKS FUTURE
APPROPRIATIONS BY THE
LEGISLATURE TO THIS BODY CAN
DETERMINE HOW TO PRIORITIZE
STATEWIDE EMISSION REDUCTIONS.
CALIFORNIA HAS LONG BEEN A
CLIMATE LEADER AND ASKING THE
STATE GOVERNMENT TO DEVELOP
PLANS TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO
CONTRIBUTES TO THIS LEGACY AND
LEVERAGES THE STATE'S
PROCUREMENT POWER TO SPUR DEMAND
FOR NEW CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES. AS
WELL AS CREATING A PUBLIC HEALTH
BENEFITS ACROSS OUR STATE. SB
TWELVE OH THREE IS ALSO A STEP
THAT MANY OTHER STATES CAN
FOLLOW FURTHER ENHANCING
CALIFORNIA'S LEADERSHIP IN
ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE. THE
IPCC REPORT IS ENCOURAGING AND
THAT IT IN FOR IT AFFIRMS THAT
WE HAVE THE KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS
RAPID CHANGES IN OUR CLIMATE.
BUT IT'S ALSO CLEAR THE
POLITICAL WILL IS HOLDING THE
WORLD BACK FROM DEPLOYING THOSE
TOOLS AND RESOURCES. THE
CALIFORNIA HAS THE POLITICAL
WILL TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE
NOW IS YET ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY
TO LEAD BY EXAMPLE. THANK YOU

A GOOD MORNING M. MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. IN RECENT YEARS THE
UNITED STATES HAS SEEN AN
INCREASE IN ATTACKS ARE TOWARDS
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE SECTORS
INCLUDING ITS AGRICULTURE AND
WATER SECTORS. THESE THREATS
INCREASINGLY BOTH FOREIGN AND
DOMESTIC COULD HAVE DEVASTATING
CONSEQUENCES ULTIMATELY
AFFECTING BOTH THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY. OF CALIFORNIANS AND THE
ECONOMIC STRENGTH OF CALIFORNIA
AS A WHOLE. THE CYBER ATTACKS
AFFECT THE INTEGRITY OF OUR FOOD
AND WATER AND THESE CREATE
UNCERTAINTY THAT CAN LEAD TO
INCREASED RISK TO OUR FOOD
SUPPLY CHAIN. A BROKEN FOOD
SUPPLY CHAIN WOULD HAVE A
DISPROPORTIONATE EFFECT ON OUR
MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
LIVING TO INCREASE PRICES AND
LESS FOOD AVAILABILITY. THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE ALREADY THAT
WERE ALREADY SEEN DUE TO THE
LACK OF WATER FROM DOCTOR
DROUGHT AND MANY CALIFORNIANS
ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THIS AT
THE GROCERY STORE. ADDITIONALLY
AS OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS
NOTED WE NEEDED TO STRENGTH WE
NEED TO STRENGTHEN OUR CYBER
PREPAREDNESS IN THE WAKE OF AN
INCREASING PROBABILITY. OF
RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACKS. FOR
EXAMPLE OF WE KNOW THAT THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST OFFICE IN
CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH FOUND
THAT. AN INCREASING NUMBER OF
CYBER ATTACKS- HAVE BEEN DOWN
HERE AND IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA FOR EXAMPLE IN TWENTY
TWENTY AN ESTIMATED FORTY SEVEN
THOUSAND CYBERATTACKS WITH
PAYOUTS TOTALING ONE POINT TWO
BILLION WERE REPORTED IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IN THE
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. THIRTY EIGHT
THOUSAND CYBERATTACKS HAD
ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN THE
STATE REPRESENTING IT IN AN
ANNUAL INCREASE OF 62% IF TRENDS
CONTINUE. WHAT ALL THIS IN MIND
IT IS INCREASINGLY NECESSARY FOR
STATE TO STATE PROACTIVE IN
ENSURE WE ARE PREPARED IN THE
EVENT OF A CYBER ATTACK ON THESE
CRITICAL SECTORS. SB EIGHT
NINETY TWO ISSUES OPTIONAL
REPORTING GUIDELINES AROUND
CALIFORNIA'S FOOD AND WATER
SECTORS AND IT ENCOURAGES OUR
STATE CYBERSECURITY AGENCIES. TO
STRENGTHEN OUR STATE
CYBERSECURITY DEFENSES. SB EIGHT
NINE TWO ENCOURAGES ENTITIES IN
THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE SECTOR
AND WATER AND WASTE WATER SECTOR
TO REPORT INSTANCES OF A
VERIFIED CYBERTHREAT. OR CYBER
ATTACK WITHIN THIRTY DAYS TO
RELEVANT TECHNOLOGY BASED STATE
AGENCIES THIS THE BILL ALSO
DIRECTS OFFICE OF EMERGENCY
SERVICES IN THE CYBER SECURITY
INTEGRATIONS TO DEVELOP PLANS TO
INCREASE OUTREACH FOR
CYBERSECURITY PREPAREDNESS AS
WELL AS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL
FUNDING SOURCES THAT SUPPORT
CYBERSECURITY BUT PLACING A
STRONGER FOCUS ON CYBERSECURITY
NOW AND RECOGNIZING ITS
IMPORTANCE TO CALIFORNIA'S.
AGRICULTURE AND WATER SECTORS SB
EIGHT EIGHT TWO ALLOWS
CALIFORNIA TAKE A MUCH NEEDED
STEP IN THE DIRECTION OF CYBER
CYBERSECURITY PREPAREDNESS- AND
I HAVE ONE WITNESS TODAY JOINING
US REMOTELY AND THAT'S OUR
JUSTICE GARBA POLICY TRIP FOR
THE CALIFORNIA WATER ASSOCIATION
. HE THE WITNESS MAY PROCEED.
GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
A COMEDIAN COUNTERTOP THANK YOU-
AS SENATOR THOMAS AND I'M THE
CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA WATER

WATER SUPPLIERS THAT ARE
REGULATED BY THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION-
TOGETHER WE PROVIDE SAFE CLEAN
AND PORTABLE DRINKING WATER
SERVICE TO ABOUT SIX MILLION
CALIFORNIANS- I CAN SURELY LIKE
TO THANK SENATOR TADO FOR
OPENING DISCUSSION ON THIS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC AND
BRING FORWARD SENATE BILL EIGHT
NINE TWO- HER STAFF AND SHE
HERSELF HAD BEEN ABSOLUTELY
FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH. THREE
THAT HIGH RISK SO IMPORTANT
WATERSHED. IS QUITE SIMPLE WE
PROVIDE THE ONLY PUBLIC UTILITY
SERVICE FOR CONGESTED. ENSURING
THE SAFETY WATER WE PROVIDED
ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AND IT'S ONE
OF THOSE THINGS THAT WE JUST
CAN'T EVER GET WRONG- AND ON THE
ON THE FLIP SIDE WE FACE MERRY.
THREATS CYBERSECURITY TRACKS AS
WITH MOST THINGS MANY PORTIONS
OF STATE WATER SYSTEMS ARE
CONTROLLED REMOTELY. OPEN UNITED
THEM UP TO POTENTIAL
CYBERATTACKS. JUST LAST YEAR WAS
WIDELY REPORTED THAT HACKERS- IN
THE BAY AREA WILL BE ABLE TO I
BELIEVE SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
USED TO OPERATE A WATER
TREATMENT PLANT THAT. SUPPLIES
WATER TO CUSTOMERS IN THE BAY
AREA. AND WHILE THIS TAP WAS
CAUGHT AND ADDRESSED IN TIME.
RELYING ON LUCK IT'S NOT A SOUND
STRATEGY- NOT ONLY CAN FIBER
CARE ACT AFFECT THE SAFETY OF
DRINKING WATER BUT THEY CAN
IMPACT EVERYTHING FROM. THE
SUPPLY OF DRINKING WATER SHE WAS
SIMPLY THE LOSS OF CUSTOMER-
YEAH- AND THE LOSS OF PUBLIC A-
PUBLIC IDEA PUBLICLY
IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. AND
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT THE
WATER SECTOR FACES IS THE LACK
OF STATE. UNIFORMS BEING FEDERAL
CYBERSECURITY STANDARDS FOR
WATER SUPPLIERS THE PROBLEM.
ASSEMBLE A NINETY WILL HELP
CLOSE THAT GAP. AND WE TRULY
APPRECIATE SENATOR THOMAS WORK
ON THIS IMPORTANT VITAL TOPIC.

MOVES FORWARD THAT WE ARE OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED. AT THIS POINT

WHY YOU ARE OLD ENOUGH THAT I
JUST WANT A LITTLE BIT
CLARIFICATION IF I MAY ADDRESS
THE AUTHOR. QUESTION TO THE
OTHER. WE ARE AND THAT IS YOU

I THINK I READ SOME OF THE
INFORMATION THAT ALSO CAME FROM
THE OPPOSITION. I'M READING HERE
THAT IT'S COMPLETELY OPTIONAL
AND THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO
SIMPLY OPT OUT CAN YOU CLARIFY
THAT FOR ME PLEASE. YOU SO. THE
BILL WAS AMENDED AT BECAUSE OF
THE CONCERNS THAT THE OPPOSITION
RAISED- IN REGARDS TO- MANDATING

THE CHAIR OF A CERTAIN COMMITTEE

PRESENTING SB NINE NINE THREE.
WHICH IS GOING TO MAKE SOME
IMPROVEMENTS TO OUR VICTIMS
COMPENSATION. OF PROCESS AND
ALSO SOME- REVISIONS TO OUR
FLEXIBLE ASSISTANCE. SURVIVORS
OF VIOLENCE. ON GRANT PROGRAM.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
ESTABLISH THE VICTIMS
COMPENSATION BOARD WHICH
PROVIDES FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND
SERVICES TO CRIME VICTIMS AND TO
EXONERATE. NOW WHAT WE'VE FOUND
AND THERE'S GOOD DATA SUPPORTING
THIS THAT PROVIDING SUCH
SUPPORT. INCREASES COMMUNITY
SAFETY. IMPROVES THE TRUST
BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
VICTIMS AND LEAVES. RETIRED
REDUCES RETALIATION CRIMES THAT
CAN OCCUR WHEN THE VICTIM OF
CRIME FEELS THAT THERE ARE NOT
THAT THE- THERE'S NOT BEEN AN
APPROPRIATE RESPONSE THEY'VE NOT
BEEN ASSISTED HERE'S YOU KNOW
THE CRIME IS NOT BEING SOLVED
AND WE HAVE SEEN IN MANY CASES
WHERE. CRIME IN CERTAIN
COMMUNITIES ENDS UP BEING THIS-
CYCLE OF KIND OF RETALIATORY
CRIMES WHICH DOES NOT BENEFIT
ANYONE. NOW THIS IMPORTANT
SERVICE IS UNDERFUNDED AND
GOVERNED BY STATUTORY LANGUAGE
THAT HAS PREVENTED MANY CRIME
SURVIVORS FROM BEING ABLE TO
ACCESS FUNDS OR RECEIVE THE HELP
THEY NEED. AND DISTINCTIONS
ABOUT WHO DESERVES HELP WHEN
THEY'VE EXPERIENCED A CRIME
LEAVES MANY VICTIMS LEAVING
FEELING LEFT OUT OF THE
PROTECTION OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
SYSTEM IS INTENDED TO PROVIDE
AND I THINK ALL OF US KNOW. IF
WE ANY OF US ARE EVER SUBJECT TO
A VIOLENT CRIME WE'RE OTHER
CRIME THAT WE ALL DESERVE
SUPPORT IF THE STATE HAS
DEVELOPED A SYSTEM TO PROVIDE
SUCH SUPPORT. WHAT SB NINE NINE
THREE DOES IS IMPROVES ACCESS TO
SUPPORT AND SERVICES FOR
SURVIVORS OF CRIME AND TO
EXONERATION THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO
WERE. WRONGFULLY CONVICTED AND
INCREASES THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT
A CRIME SURVIVOR CAN RECEIVE AND
WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK MY
WITNESSES- TOUR HERE- I BELIEVE
ON A CALL LINE TO PROVIDERS-
CAST MONIQUE. AND MY WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT. CARTOONISH ROLLINS
WHO IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
CRIME SURVIVORS FOR SAFETY AND
JUSTICE AND MARK HUGHES THE
DIRECTOR OF YOUTH ALIVE WHICH IS
A VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROGRAM.
THANK YOU SENATOR- MISS HOLLINS
I BELIEVE YOU'RE IN THE CHAMBER
HERE. I AM THANK YOU GOOD
MORNING TO THE CHAIR INTO THE

SILENCE I'M THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF CALIFORNIANS SAFETY
AND JUSTICE. ALSO THE STATE
DIRECTOR OF CRIME SURVIVORS FOR

STATE'S LARGEST NETWORK OF
VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS. CCJ IS
PROUD TO SPONSOR SB NINE THREE
THREE AND I WANT TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO THANK SENATOR SKINNER
FOR CHAMPIONING. THIS
GROUNDBREAKING LEGISLATION.
BEFORE I BEGIN I WANT TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO SEND PRAYER AND
CONDOLENCES TO THE VICTIMS AND
SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBERS WHO
WERE IMPACTED BY THE MASS
SHOOTING THAT TOOK PLACE. JUST A
BLOCK AWAY FROM THIS BUILDING.
AND I SPENT THIS MORNING READING
THE NAMES OF HOSE ITEMS ARE
LEARNING ABOUT THEIR LOVED ONES
AS THEY DESCRIBE THEM AND THOSE
WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND. AS A
SURVIVING FAMILY MEMBER OF TWO
HOMICIDE VICTIMS SOMEONE WHO
LOVES TO READ AND THEN VIOLENCE
IN THE TRAUMA. I UNDERSTAND THE
TRAUMA THAT CAUSED. DAMAGE TO MY
IMMEDIATE FAMILY I UNDERSTAND
WITH THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS
OF THIS EXPERIENCE ARE GOING
THROUGH. SOME OF THOSE JOBS
HOMES SO MAY LITERALLY LOSE LIVE
I'M SELF MEDICATING IN BEING
UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE PAIN OF
THE PROBLEM. LYFT COMES VERY
COMPLICATED EXPENSIVE AND
CONFUSING FOR VICTIMS AND FAMILY
MEMBERS AFTER CRIME IN ANY
BARRIER TO GETTING HELP OR
SUPPORT CAUSES MORE TRAUMA IT
CAN PLACE PEOPLE IN DANGER. IN
THIS MOMENT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE ASSESS THE NEEDS OF ALL
VICTIMS THIS IS THE IN THE BEST
IT IS THE SAFE. AND IT THE NIGHT
HE IS A BILL. THAT WILL HELP
MAKE THAT HAPPEN MAKE THAT REAL
. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DOES
COME. FOR NATIONAL LEAGUE.
FORTUNE TOO MANY PEOPLE IN LEGAL
BAY TO HIM THIS BILL WOULD
REMOVE DOZEN OF LEGAL BARRIERS
IN PREVENT PREVENT CRIME AND SO
WILL GIVE SYSTEM IT WOULD REDUCE
TAPE IN THE APPLICATION PROCESS
INCREASED FLEXIBILITY IN FUNDS
INCREASE RESPONSE TIME FOR FOLKS
MAKE SURE THAT THE OUT REACH
PROGRAMS REALLY TOUCH THE
COMMUNITY AND THE PEOPLE
ACTUALLY GET ACCESS TO THE HELP
THAT THEY NEED IT WOULD LESSEN
THE RATE VARIES THAT HAVE. ANY
PEOPLE THAT ARE MOST. BY CRIME
FROM GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY
NEED. AGAIN HELPING VICTIMS AND
SURVIVORS IS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF PUBLIC SAFETY IN
THE STATE. AND WE WANT
CALIFORNIA TO CONTINUE TO LEAD
THE WAY IN SAFETY INTO MAKING
SURE THE VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS
GET HELP. TODAY WE RESPECTFULLY

CENTER ARCHER LET US MIKE IS UP

CHAIRMAN AND I CERTAINLY WOULD
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTHOR-
SB NINE NINE THREE. WHAT A
WONDERFUL BILL AND I AM I AM SO
ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THE BILL I'D
LIKE TO BE A CO AUTHOR BUT I'D
LIKE TO POINT OUT THE- THE
SENSITIVITY THAT IT EXPRESSES
DRUG KNOWLEDGE THAT SO MANY
FAMILIES THAT ARE VICTIMS OF
CRIME A FIND THEMSELVES- NOT
KNOWING WHERE TO GO AND WHO TO
SEEK. BUT NOW THIS BILL WILL
OPEN UP SOME DOORS IN THE
SURVIVORS OF CAN YOU IMAGINE
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE IN OUR OWN
SACRAMENTAL THE FAMILIES WHAT
THEY FEEL THE TRAGEDIES THAT
JUST HAPPENED WHERE ARE THEY
TURNING TO HOW THEY'RE GOING TO
GET HELP. AND SENATE BILL NINE
NINE THREE WILL OPEN DOORS- IT
IS SO IMPORTANT WE RECOGNISE
FAMILIES IN THE MENTAL HEALTH
SITUATION THAT'S GOING ON RIGHT
NOW THE ANGUISH THE PAIN- AND
THE EXPENSE OF THE FUNERALS IN
STRONG ONE. I THINK THIS IS A
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US
IN THE SENATE TO REACH OUT TO
THE COMMUNITY AND SAY WE DO CARE
ABOUT THE VICTIMS WE DO CARE
ABOUT THE VICTIMS OF CRIME AND
THAT WE'RE TAKING THIS STEP
FORWARD. AND ONCE AGAIN I AM SO
HONORED THAT THIS BILL IS BEFORE
US BECAUSE IT TOUCHES US ALL SO
I. OBVIOUSLY URGENT AYE VOTE
THANK YOU. KEEP CENTER RUBY.
THANK MISTER TERM I ALSO WANT TO
COMMEND THE THERE FOR WONDERFUL
BELL I THINK IT'S IT IS
IMPORTANT AS NECESSARY AND AS
THE AUTHOR STATED- THE VICTIM
COMPENSATION IS ALREADY IT'S
COVERED BY STATUTORY LANGUAGE IN
ITS THEY ALREADY HAVE SO MANY
BARRIERS AND SO MANY OF THE RED
TAPE AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO TO
GET ON THE SUPPORT AND THE HELP
THEY NEED I THINK IT'S NECESSARY
I THINK IN MY PERSONAL OPINION.
THE TRAGEDY DOESN'T JUST STOP
WITH THE CRIME IT'S WHAT'S LEFT
IN THE AFTERMATH WITH FAMILIES
TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES
TOGETHER WITH YOU KNOW VICTIM
STRUGGLING TO RECOVER AND
EVERYTHING THAT COMES WITH IT SO
I'MREALLY PLEASED TO SEE THIS
BILL MOVE FORWARD IN ANYTHING
AGAIN THAT WE CAN DO TO INCREASE
FINANCIAL SUPPORT SO THEY CAN
GET. THE HELP THAT THEY NEED I
THINK WE SHOULD ALL BE ON BOARD
AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ADD AS
A CO AUTHOR THANK YOU. AND I
CONSIDER THAT A MOTION CENTER
RUBIO. SKEWS ME SUTTER AS OF
SERGEANTS YOUR MIND THAT'S OKAY
MISTER CHAIRMAN I PUT IT UP A
LITTLE LATE APOLOGIES- SO I WILL
BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY BY
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS I
WANNA MAKE- I THINK WE NEED TO
RECOGNIZE THE FACT THAT. THE
FUNDING FOR THIS TYPE OF
PROGRAM- IS AT RISK IT IS
NEARING INSOLVENCY IN OVER. THE
COURSE OF MANY YEARS THIS BODY
HAS. DECREASED THE ABILITY TO
COLLECT FUNDS FOR THIS PROGRAM
IN THE IN THAT WE HAVE REDUCED
FINES AND FEES- YOU KNOW. FOR-
CHECK TICKETS YOU KNOW TO GET
REVENUE IN PARTICULAR- IN AND
THEN OF COURSE WE'VE INCREASED-
THE ABILITY FOR OTHERS TO
COLLECT FROM THIS BE SO WE'RE
INCREASING NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO
CAN USE THIS REVENUE- WE'RE
DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE
AND WE DON'T HAVE A DURING A
DEDICATED FUNDING STREAM FOR
THIS AND THAT NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED OTHERWISE THERE WON'T
BE ANY MONEY FOR ANYBODY IN THE
FUTURE- SO I REALIZE THAT'S NOT
THE POINT OF YOUR BILL SENATORS
SKINNER- AND I APPLAUD YOUR
EFFORTS AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING
THE BILL BUT AT SOME POINT THIS
ODY HAS TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE
ARE DEPLETING THIS FIND. AND
IT'S NOT GONNA FEEL GOOD ANYMORE
TO SAY YOU'RE EXPANDING THIS
PROGRAM IF THERE'S NOTHING IN IT
TO GET THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- OKAY- THE BILL'S BEEN
MOVED. UP BY SENATOR RUBIO. THE
MOTIONS TO PASS TO PUBLIC
SAFETY. BUT FIRST CENTER SKINNER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. THANK
YOU SO MUCH TERROR AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUES AND SENATOR TO LEAD
TO YOUR REFERENCE THE JUST.
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY OF SATURDAY
NIGHT. WITH THAT. MASS SHOOTING.
AND WE I THINK ALL OF US WERE
RELIEVED TO SEE THAT AT LEAST
ONE ARREST HAS BEEN MADE. NOW IN
SUCH AND WE HOPE THAT THE
PERPETRATORS ARE FOUND. AND THAT
WE- THE ANTI- TRIED- HAND THAT
WE GET US A RESOLUTION TO THIS
HORRIBLEMASS SHOOTING BUT WHAT
WE FIND SO OFTEN IN SOME OF OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THE
SHOOTINGS OCCURRED. IS THAT
THERE'S- WE NEED COOPERATION
WITH OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR
THEM TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO
IDENTIFY SUSPECTS AND MAKE THE
ARRESTS AND THAT IS WHAT'S GOING
TO KEEP US SAFER AND SO THANK
GOODNESS THERE WERE. EITHER
OBSERVERS ARE VICTIMS IN THIS
SITUATION ON SATURDAY NIGHT WHO
COOPERATED WITH THE POLICE THANK
GOODNESS AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT
TO ACHIEVE AND OF COURSE
PROVIDING SUPPORT TO THOSE
WHO'VE EXPERIENCED THESE AWFUL
INCIDENTS. IS GOING TO ASSIST US
IN DOING THAT NOW I ALSO WANT TO
JUST BE CLEAR IN CASE SOMEONE
FEELS THAT THIS THESE CHANGES
WILL SOMEHOW ONLY BENEFIT
CERTAIN VICTIMS NO WE'RE MAKING
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL IMPROVE
ALL WE'RE NOT CREATING A ZERO
SUM GAME. AND TO SENATOR
MELENDEZ COMMENTS- YES THE
DEPENDENCE THE FUND'S DEPENDENCE
ON THE FINES OR FEES LIKE SO
MANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE
HAVE MADE DEPENDENT ON SUCH
THINGS. HAS MADE THE FIND LESS
STABLE AND SO WE WILL IF THIS
BILL IS SUCCESSFUL WE WILL HAVE
TO ADDRESS THAT AND AS THE
BUDGET YEAR. I INTEND TO WHILE I
CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO PRESUME
WE HAVE TO SEE HOW THIS PROCEEDS
THROUGH THE PROCESS IT IS
DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT TO DO WHICH IS TO-
ADJUST AND IMPROVE THE FUNDING
SO THAT WE CAN SUPPORT VICTIMS.
ALL CRIME SURVIVORS. AND WITH
THAT I ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS.

THAT THE AUTHOR HAS DONE AND
CONTINUES TO DO IN THE SPACE- I
THINK- THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE
IN- CYBERSECURITY AND IDENTITY
THEFT- THIS IS OUR NEW REALITY.
AND WE SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AT
MANY OF THESE ISSUES TACTICALLY.
BUT MORE- FROM A STRATEGIC
STANDPOINT. DO WE HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE WHERE WITH
ALL TO STICK TO KEEP UP AT THE
PACE. THAT MALWARE AND
RANSOMWARE AND IDENTITY THEFT.
OPERATORS WITH THEIR ONGOING
SOPHISTICATION. ARE OPERATING-
TO MATCH OUR TACTICAL MEANS SO I
WANTED TO CONGRATULATE YOU
CERTAINLY BE SUPPORTIVE AND
APPRECIATE THE WORK YOU DO.
THANK YOU SENATE. THANK YOU
CENTER MELENDEZ THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN I'M- SENATE SENATOR MAN
. THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE CAL
CYSTIC TO SUBMIT THEIR REPORT TO
LEGISLATURE IN THE FEASIBILITY
AND BENEFITS OF REQUIRING CREDIT
- CREDIT REPORTING BUREAUS AND
LENDERS TO IMPLEMENT NEW
INFORMATION SECURITY TACTICS TO
PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM FINANCIAL
FRAUD- IN THIS AGENCY. I'M
LOOKING AT WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE CAN YOU
TELL ME- WHAT SUCCESS THEY HAVE
HAD SO FAR SINCE THEIR INCEPTION
IN THWARTING- THESE TYPES OF
ATTACKS- SO I JUST ACTUALLY
VISITED CAL CYSTIC A COUPLE
WEEKS AGO AS YOU ARE AWARE
CENTER THEY'RE A RELATIVELY NEW
I DON'T BELIEVE IN AGENCY AT
THIS POINT THERE ARE A PART OF
CAL OH YES. MY UNDERSTANDING BUT
THE- HAVE. I THINK BEEN FAIRLY
SUCCESSFUL SO FAR IN TRYING TO
COORDINATE BEST PRACTICES. I AM
TRYING TO FEND OFF. A CYBER
SECURITY TAX- I CAN'T SPEAK TO
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE
OBSERVE JUST BECAUSE I KNOW SOME
OF THAT SENSITIVE INFORMATION-
BY IN VISITING THEM IN IN
TALKING WITH OTHER AGENCY HEADS
I THINK THAT THERE SO FAR SEEN
AS A KIND OF A MODEL FOR THE
NATION TO FOLLOW. I BELIEVE IN
THE NEAR FUTURE THEY'LL BE
LEADING. A COORDINATION OF A
NUMBERS STATION AND- THE SENSE
THAT I'M GETTING FROM OTHER
STATES AS A CALIFORNIA HAS THE
BEST PRACTICES- SO AS FAR AS
BEATING UP OUR CYBER SECURITY- I
THINK THAT WE'RE DOING. THE
RIGHT JOB I DON'T KNOW TO WHAT
EXTENT WE FENDED OFF.
CYBERSECURITY ATTACKS BUT- BY MY
BELIEF IS YOU KNOW IT WITH IN
CONCERT WITH. SOME OF THE
LEADING. CYBERSECURITY
PREVENTION PRIVATE FIRMS WHICH
ARE BASED IN CALIFORNIA AS YOU
KNOW- THE THEY ARE SEEN AS A- A
GROWING MODEL NOW THIS IS KIND
OF NEW AS FAR AS GOVERNMENT
ACTION- WE- WE ARE TRYING TO.
WADE INTO IT NEW SPACE HERE IN
AND SET PRECEDENTS THAT REALLY
HAVEN'T BEEN SET YET BUT- YOU
KNOW MY SENSE SO FAR IS THAT
THEY ARE SEEN AS SUCCESS. OKAY
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT- I'M
JUST. YOU KNOW I'M LOOKING HERE
AS ENVISIONED BY THE LEGISLATURE
THAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
INCLUDE DEVELOPING A STATEWIDE
CYBERSECURITY STRATEGY
OVERSEEING A CYBER INCIDENT
RESPONSE TEAM WHICH SERVICE
CALIFORNIA'S PRIMARY UNIT IN
CYBER THREAT DETECTION REPORTING
IN RESPONSE FOR THE PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE SECTORS ASSISTING LAW
ENFORCEMENT- FROM COLLECTING AND
SHARING CYBER THREAT INFORMATION
IT SEEMS LIKE. THEY HAVE ALREADY
BEEN TASKED WITH ESSENTIALLY
WHAT YOUR BILL- PROPOSES TO DO
THERE WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANY
INFORMATION YET ARE DATA TO
SUGGEST THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
LARGELY SUCCESSFUL- IN THEIR
EFFORTS WELL I'M AS DEFINED IN
THE BEGINNING SO IT'S NOT THAT I
DON'T SUPPORT THE IDEA I'M JUST
. YOU KNOW KIND OF THINKING IN
MY HEAD THAT PERHAPS WE'RE
GIVING THEM MORE AND THEY SEEM
TO DO THE WHOLE POINT BEHIND
CREATING CAO CYSTIC WAS IT WAS
THIS. THINK TANK THAT- NEW
CERTAINLY MORE THAN THE MEMBERS
OF THE LEGISLATURE OF HOW TO
ADDRESS THIS. ISSUE AND LIKELY
WOULD. MAKE THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS YOU KNOW TO THE
LEGISLATURE REGARDLESS OF IF WE
MANDATE OR NOT MEAN THAT'S THE
WHOLE POINT OF THEIR EXISTENCE-
SEVEN THANK YOU FOR THE
INFORMATION. IF I MIGHT JUST
RESPOND JUST TO BE CLARIFIED
THAT WHAT CAL CYSTIC IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR IS CYBER
SECURITY PREVENTION I WHAT WE
ARE TRYING TO WITH THIS BILL IS
A SOME PARTICULAR CHANGES I IN
PRACTICE AROUND- THE CREDIT
REPORTING BUREAUS IN THE
RELATIONSHIP LENDERS WHICH
HOUSES IT DOES NOT HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO DO- AND
SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING
CONTEMPLATING IS WHETHER IT
WOULD MAKE SENSE. TO HAVE MULTI
FACTOR AUTHENTICATION EVERY TIME
YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT OPENED OUT
WHETHER WE SHOULD CREATE
ALTERNATIVES TO SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBERS. SO SCARY NUMBERS ARE
ALWAYS GOING TO BE ASSOCIATE
WITH ARDENT IDENTIFICATION. I'VE
JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE TIED TO SO
MUCH ANCILLARY INFORMATION BUT
THE IDEA THAT YOUR SSN IS USED
AS YOUR PRIMARY POINT OF
AUTHORIZATION THAT IS TO SAY.
YOU GIVEN SSN. AND YOU HAVE
ACCESS TO OPENING UP FINANCIAL.
ACCOUNTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT
AYE DADDY SCENE IS VERY OUTDATED
THAT THIS NINE DIGIT NUMBER
SHOULD SERVE THAT PURPOSE. ALSO
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION
ABOUT WHAT WE SHOULD DO IS AN
ALTERNATIVE- THERE'S BEEN SOME
DEBATE AND SO WE HAVE THE CYBER
SECURITY- SELECT COMMITTEE
HEARING WHICH I CHAIR. RECENTLY
AND I THINK CENTER BOARD JUST
WAS PART OF THAT. AND I THINK
THIS SET CONSENSUS WAS THAT THE
NEED TO BE MORE STUDY BUT WHAT
THE BEST PRACTICES SHOULD BE SO.
THIS PARTICULAR STUDY IS VERY
FOCUSED. ON HOW WE CAN CREATE A
BERRIER STATE ANY THEFT AND
FINANCIAL FRAUD PARTICULAR NOT
CYBER SECURITY INCURSIONS BUT
HOW CAN PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM
THAT FIXING PROBLEM THAT IS
HITTING SO MANY OF US. THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION. THE CIVIC
CENTER BACKER. YEAH I WOULD.
WHICH CAN THINK ON THEIR FOR HIS
WORK ON THIS BILL CERTAINLY
THESE THE CREDIT REPORTING
AGENCIES HAVE JUST VAST VAST
VAST AMOUNTS OF DATA AND LOOKING
AT WHAT WE CAN DO TO. MAKE SURE
IT'S PROTECTED I THINK IS VERY
VALUABLE AMOUNT DATABROKER BILL
THAT WILL- IF YOU TALK ABOUT
LATER BUT- I JUST APPRECIATE
YOUR EFFORTS IN THIS AREA.

LINE FIFTY PLEASE GO AHEAD. GOOD
MORNING MR CARE MEMBERS MY NAME
IS PHIL VERMAELEN I REPRESENT
THE COALITION A SMALL A DISABLED
VETERAN BUSINESSES- I ALSO SERVE
ON THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL
SERVICES SMALL BUSINESS ADVISORY
TASK FORCE FOR THE LAST EIGHT
YEARS AND LAST YEAR WAS CHAIRMAN
OF THE COMMERCIALLY USEFUL
FUNCTION COMMITTEE- ONE OF THE
BIG PROBLEMS WITH THE SMALL
BUSINESS IS THERE ARE MANY LARGE
BUSINESSES THAT WILL GO IN THE
AN OFFER A SMALL BUSINESSES 82%
SPIFF AS WE CALL IT. TO ALLOW
THEM TO UTILIZE THE SMALL
BUSINESS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THOSE SMALL
BUSINESS- IT PROGRAMS THE
PROBLEM IS WE'RE TALKING YOU
HAVE TO CLARIFY THERE IS WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE TODAY
AND THAT IS THE TO CALL SYSTEM
SO FOR EXAMPLE UP TO TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS DGS NOW
FROM THERE BUYERS CAN CALL TO
PEOPLE THAT ARE CERTIFIED SMALL
BUSINESSES ARE DISABLED VETERAN
BUSINESSES. AND OBTAIN A PRICE
FROM THEM THAT'S ALL GREAT AND
WONDERFUL- THEY WERE BEEN FOR
DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS BILL HAS
BEEN. BUT THROUGH THE LEAD. WE
HAVE BEEN ACT. OPPOSED THE WHOLE
TIME IT'S COUNTER TO THE BY.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT AND THINK
WELL GEEZ WE'RE GONNA RAISE AT
THE FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS. REMEMBER FOR FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS A SMALL
BUSINESSES HAVE TO RAISE THOSE
KINDS OF FUNDS FROM. BANK ALONE
TO BE ABLE TO TAKE OUT THAT LOAN
TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE
PRODUCT. OF A LOT OF SMALL
BUSINESSES CARE IF YOU LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS. ON THE AUDIENCE
OVERLAP NUMEROUS YEARS OVER THE
LAST TEN YEARS THERE ARE A
HANDFUL OF BUSINESSES THAT ARE
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE
PROGRAMS THE BASS MAJORITY AT
THE BP AND SMALL BUSINESSES. ARE
NOT GETTING THE BENEFITS FROM
THE REYES FROM TO AT UP TO TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY IF YOU MAKE IT UP
TO FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND THAT
AGAIN IS GOING TO BENEFIT SOME
PEOPLE THERE ARE NUMEROUS THINGS
WE CAN DO WE NEED TO TIGHTEN THE
LAWS FOR EXAMPLE- ONE OF THE
PROBLEM. THE DEPARTMENT OF
GENERAL SERVICES DID AWAY WITH
WHAT WE CALL CONTRACTS ONE OF
MYERS SEVERAL OF MY MEMBERS A
COUPLE YEARS AGO LOST OVER A
MILLION DOLLARS ON A CONTRACT
WITH THE STATE. WHERE THEY
ACTUALLY CONTRACTED WITH THE
STATE TO PROVIDE PRODUCTS THEY
HAVE TO ORDER THOSE PRODUCTS.
AND AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE AND
THEN GIVE YOU A MAP OVER THE
YEAR THE CONTRACT UNFORTUNATELY
THE STATE HAS THE RIGHT NOW. TO
ELIMINATE THOSE CONTRACTS IF FOR
WHATEVER REASON THINGS CHANGE SO
THEY'RE NOT REALLY CONTRACT A
ONE PLANET GREEN. THAT IT BURNS
SMALL BUSINESSES THAT IS
SOMETHING WE NEED TO CLARIFY WE
NEED TO GET THAT RESOLVED
BECAUSE THAT ALMOST RATES OF ALL
MY BILLS. MY MEMBERS OUT OF
BUSINESS BUT BY RAISING A FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS THERE
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL
OVER THOSE. BUYERS IN TERMS OF
WHO THE TWO PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO GO OUT AND REACH OUT TO
YOU. AND THAT CONSEQUENTLY IS
WHY IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS-
THAT THEY ARE GOING TO A VAST
MAJORITY OF US BY THE HANDFUL.
OF BUSINESS IS NOT TO. ASKED ME
TO OF PEOPLE IT SHOULD BE OUT
THERE WITH ARE SMALL BUSINESS
HELLO THREE I PLEDGE TO WORK THE
SENATE ON COMING UP WITH SOME
THAT WILL WORK BUT INCREASE THE
LIMIT OF FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
IS JUST GOING TO PROMOTE MORE

ELEVEN FORTY FOUR I CENTER
WIENER CENTER YOU MAY BEGIN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I CHAIRMAN
THANK YOU TO YOU IN THE
COMMITTEE. OUR COLLEAGUES THAT
I'M PRESENTING SENATE BILL
ELEVEN FORTY FOR THE SAFE AND
EFFICIENT WATER ACT. WE KNOW
THAT CALIFORNIA IS A LEADING
EXAMPLE FOR THE NATION AND
WORLD- WITH SO MANY OF OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH AND
SAFETY POLICIES. HOWEVER
TRAGICALLY OUR DRINKING WATER
REGULATIONS DO NOT ALWAYS PASS
MUSTER. I KNOW WHERE IS THIS
MORE EVIDENT THAN IN OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS DATA COLLECTED IN TWENTY
NINETEEN TO TWENTY TWENTY- SHOW
THAT 53% OF REPORTING SCHOOL
DISTRICTS FOUND LEAD IN AT LEAST
ONE OF THEIR DRINKING WATER
FOUND. GUNS ON CAMPUS. LET OF
COURSE IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS
FOR EVERYONE PARTICULARLY
CHILDREN. I'M AFRAID IN TWENTY
ONE HUNDRED DRINKING WATER
FOUNTAINS TESTED POSITIVE FOR
LEAD IN THIRTEEN HUNDRED SCHOOLS
IN CALIFORNIA. UNFORTUNATELY
THIS ISSUE- DOESN'T STOP WITH
LET THE SAME WATER SYSTEMS I MAY
HAVE BEEN EXPOSING STUDENTS TO
LEASE AN HOUR RATE ON AN ARM AND
A HOST OF OTHER POTENTIALLY
HARMFUL CONTAMINANTS. I HOWEVER
THE TESTING THE BROUGHT- THE
DATA AROUND LED TO LIGHT DID NOT
REQUIRE TESTING FOR ANY OF THESE
OTHER CONTAMINANTS. WITHOUT A
TESTING REGIME STATE WILL
CONTINUE TO OPERATE- IN
DARKNESS- ASSUMING THAT SCHOOLS
AND STATE AGENCIES ARE FOR
FILLING EVERY CALIFORNIANS RIGHT
TO CLEAN AND SAFE WATER WHEN
THAT ASSUMPTION TRAGICALLY IS
NOT WARRANTED NOT AND- NOT
BECAUSE OF INTENTIONAL HARM- BUT
BECAUSE WE'RE SIMPLY NOT DOING
INSPECTIONS. SB ELEVEN FORTY
FOUR WILL REMEDY THE SITUATION
BY REQUIRING ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AS WELL AS STATE AGENCIES FOR
STATE OWNED BUILDINGS TO
COMPLETE A WATER QUALITY
ASSESSMENT ON THEIR FACILITIES.
INCLUDING TESTING PER LED RATE
ON A LEGIONELLA AND OTHER
CONTAMINANTS IF THEY FIND A
CONTAMINANT THE OPERATING AGENCY
WILL BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE
FIXTURE AT THE EARLIEST
PRACTICAL TIME SUBJECT TO
FUNDING- AND ALSO. TO PROVIDE
NOTIFICATIONS SO PEOPLE KNOW
THAT THEIR IS AN ISSUE- IF. DAY
FUNDS IS NOT A- IN. IS NOT KERR
POSSIBLE- THE OPERATING- AGENCY
WILL BE REQUIRED TO PREPARE
WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN.
TO INCLUDE INTERIM REMEDIATION
MEASURES AS WELL AS REGULAR
TESTING. ON A MAJOR REASON FOR
CONTAMINATION OF SCHOOLS AND
STATE AGENCIES IS THE AGE OF
BUILDINGS OLDER PLUMBING SYSTEMS
ARE OFTEN MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO
POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION. AND ARE
MORE LIKELY TO CONTAIN SOME.
ASPECT OF LEAD FROM THE PIPES
ADDITIONALLY THESE OLD SYSTEMS
ARE LIKELY TO BE INEFFICIENT
EITHER BY LEAKING AND WASTING. A
LARGE AMOUNT OF WATER- OR BY
SIMPLY BEING AN EFFICIENT AND
UTILIZING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS. OF
WATER SB ONE FORTY FOUR WILL
ADDITIONALLY REQUIRE SCHOOLS AND
STATE AGENCIES TO TEST THEIR
WATER EFFICIENCY- AND SUBJECT TO
FUNDING. OF REPLACE FIXTURES OR
APPLIANCES THAT DON'T MEET WATER
EFFICIENCY STANDARDS. FINALLY
THE BILL WILL REQUIRE SCHOOLS
AND STATE AGENCIES. TO DETERMINE
THE FEASIBILITY OF INSTALLING AN
ONSITE GREYWATER SYSTEM WE KNOW
THAT WATER RECYCLING AS PART OF.
CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE- WE ARE
WORKING CURRENTLY ON AMENDMENTS
WITH- WHATEVER USE- REGARDING
THIS- GRAY WATER PROVISION TO
BROADEN AT- AND ALLOW CONNECTION
TO ALTERNATIVE RECYCLED WATER
SYSTEMS. RATHER THAN EXCLUSIVELY
OUR GRAY WATER- SO WE- OUR
INTENT IS TO INCORPORATE- THOSE
MOMENTS IN THE NEXT COMMITTEE IF
THE COMMITTEE PASSES THE BILL
TODAY- THIS TESTING. BOTH OF
POTENTIAL CONTAMINATION IN WATER%
QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY ACROSS
BUILDINGS THAT HOUSE OR USE
PUBLIC SERVANTS AND A HOST OF
OTHER CALIFORNIANS WILL ENSURE
THAT THE STATE IS PROTECTING THE
RIGHT TO CLEAN SAFE WATER. AND
IS CONSERVING THIS PRECIOUS
RESOURCE- COLLEAGUES I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS ARE WELL WITH ME TODAY TO
TESTIFY. OR SCOTT WHAT'S ON
BEHALF OF OUR SPONSORED THE
STATE PIPES. COUNCIL AS WELL AS
THOMAS AND ON THE OF THE- SO. OF

TRADES COUNCIL THE PATRIOTS
COUNCIL REPRESENTS LOCAL
PLUMBING INSPECTORS IN
JURISDICTIONS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA WHOSE JOB IT IS TO
PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S HEALTH AND
SAFETY IN DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS
. UNFORTUNATELY CORRODING PIPES-
PROVIDING THE IDEAL NUTRIENTS
FOR BACTERIA TO GROW AS A RESULT
ACCORDING TO THE CASE THE CDC.
THE NUMBER OF. SICKNESS IS BEING
REPORTED EACH YEAR AS A RESULT
OF MICRO ORGANISMS IN OUR
DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS NOW
APPROACHES NEARLY THIRTY TWO
MILLION. PARTICULARLY OF CONCERN
IS THE DRAMATIC RISE IN THE
CASES OF LEGIONELLA THAT HAVE
BEEN REPORTED SINCE TWO
THOUSAND. IN THE LAST YEAR
AVAILABLE THAT THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT'S REPORTED OVER TEN
THOUSAND CASES OF LEGIONELLA IN
THE UNITED STATES. YOU MAY NOT
BE AWARE BUT 10% OF VICTIMS WHO
FALL ILL WITH LEGIONELLA
ACTUALLY DYING. JUST LAST WEEK
WE HAD A LEGIONELLA OUTBREAK AT
A HOTEL IN HAWAII. SB ELEVEN
FORTY FOUR ATTEMPTS TO GET- THE
STATE'S ARMS AROUND THIS. BY
THIS PROBLEM BY A MODEST BUT
TESTING OF OUR WATER SYSTEM AND
REQUIRING THE BUILDING OWNERS
PUT TOGETHER A MANAGEMENT PLAN

MISTER WAX NECKS BAKER. GOOD
MORNING CHAIR MEMBERS COMMENTS
ON BEHALF OF THE INTERNATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF PLUMBING AND
MECHANICAL OFFICIALS OR AT I AM
ALL I AM WITH THE PUBLISHER OF
THE- MODEL OP TIMING CODE THAT
CALIFORNIA PLUMBING CODE IS
BASED ON AND ALSO HAS. WATER
QUALITY- DIVISIONS AS WELL. WE
SUPPORT THIS BILL I JUST LIKE TO
MAKE A COUPLE- ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS ON IT ONE ON THE
EFFICIENCY ISSUE- THERE WAS
LEGISLATION A NUMBER YEARS AGO
THAT REQUIRED COMMERCIAL AND
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS TO UPDATE
UPDATE AND REPLACE OLD
INEFFICIENT PLUMBING FIXTURES.
BUT IT DIDN'T APPLY TO PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND STATE BUILDINGS-
REPLACING THESE INEFFICIENT
PICTURES WOULD SAVE BILLIONS OF
GALLONS OF WATER A YEAR AS WELL
AS- REPLACE OLDER PICTURES THAT
HAVE A HIGHER MY CONTENT. THIS
LEGISLATION WOULD. REQUIRE
SCHOOLS AND STATE BUILDINGS TO
IDENTIFY WHETHER THEY HAVE AN
EFFICIENT FIXTURES TO REPLACE IT
IF FUNDING IS AVAILABLE AND WE
DO KNOW FUNDING IS AVAILABLE
SUCH AS AB EIGHT FORTY ONE
CALLOUS A PLUMBING PROGRAM
INCENTIVES THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED. A COUPLE YEARS AGO AND
THE NEW FEDERAL OF BUILDING
BETTER SCHOOL. INFRASTRUCTURE
PROGRAM THAT'S COMING DOWN THE
LINE. THE ALSO REQUIRES A
CERTAIN WATER POLO AND- AS A I
MISS WEST DISK THIS IS A RELEASE
WITH. RATE ON WE- LEGION IS
LEADING CAUSE OF- OF SICKNESS
AND BUILDINGS. ARE THIS WOULD
REQUIRE THEM TO IDENTIFY WHETHER
THESE ISSUES TO REMEDIATE THEM
WITHIN A YEAR OR TO HAVE A
MANAGEMENT PLAN IF YOU CAN'T
REMEDIATE INTERMEDIATE IT WITHIN
A YEAR. IT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE
THE COOLING TOWERS HAVE
LEGIONELLA MANAGEMENT PLAN IN
PLACE WHICH IS THE INDUSTRY.
MOST BUILDINGS ARE IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THAT YOU KNOW THE GENERAL
INDUSTRY STANDARD. AND THEN
FINALLY MYERS- NO SCHOOLS TO
ENSURE THAT YOU KNOW THOSE THAT
IF THEY DO HAVE WATER QUALITY
THAT AT RISK FOR STUDENTS OR
STATE- WORKERS THAT THEY ARE
PROVIDE NOTICE OF IT AND WE
THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT WAY TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE STUFF GOOD
STUFF I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU. EXPECT HER. MISTER
CHAIRMAN BIRDS MIKE WEST ON
BEHALF OF THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL ALSO

WHAT WHAT DID YOU FIND IN ON
THAT YEAH I SURE CAN ANSWER THAT
IF MR WATCH THANK YOU NOT ONLY
CAN THE ON THIS IS NOT JUST
ABOUT THE WATER FOUNTAIN ITSELF
I MEAN IT'S ABOUT- THE ENTIRE
PLUMBING SYSTEM POTENTIALLY-

DEEPER. PROBLEM AND OF COURSE
WATER ALSO COMES OUT OF SYNCS

ACTION TO TRY TO- PROMOTE.
ESTABLISH DIVERSITY AND PRIVATE
BOARDS AROUND OUR STATE WHICH
HAS COME UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL
CHALLENGE NOT UNEXPECTEDLY. BUT
THIS IS A AN EXAMPLE OF- OF
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS THAT WE
CONTROL AND I THINK THAT THE-
THE PURPOSES- AS OUTLINED IN THE
BILL ARE MERITORIOUS. AND WORTHY
I DON'T THINK THE AUTHOR AND I
CERTAINLY DOUBT MYSELF INCLUDED
DON'T FEEL THAT OUR CURRENT
GOVERNOR GOVERNOR BROWN BEFORE
HIM- THEY'VE DONE A GREAT JOB
OF- ADVANCING DIVERSITY AND
THEIR APPOINTMENTS AND I DON'T
SEE THIS NECESSARILY IS ANY KIND
OF CRITICISM- BUT IT'S- IT'S
TRYING TO GATHER THE FACTS TO
MAKE SURE THAT. IF THERE WAYS
THAT WE CAN DO BETTER- WE
CERTAINLY DO SO WITH THAT
THERE'S OPPORTUNITY DOWN THE

WOULD YOU LIKE CLOSE. THANK YOU

AUTHORS AND ALSO THE COMMENT
THAT THIS IS NOT A REFLECTION OR
CRITICISM WE'RE ACTUALLY TRYING
TO FIND A WAY TO
INSTITUTIONALIZE BEST PRACTICES.
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF
MEANINGFUL GAMES IN TERMS OF
DIVERSIFYING OUR MANY MANY
BOARDS IN THE STATE AND THIS IS
A WAY TO TRY TO ALLOW US. TO
INSTITUTIONALIZE SOME OF THESE
GAMES AND I ALSO WANT TO KNOW
THAT THE GAMES ARE NOT JUST
BASED ON RACE AND ETHNICITY AND
GENDER THEY'RE ALSO GEOGRAPHIC.
AYE WE REPRESENT FIFTY DIFFERENT
COUNTIES AND SO FOR US IT'S
IMPORTANT TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT
HOW WE KEEP AND MAINTAIN THAT
DIVERSITY- THAT WE'VE SEEN.
INCREASING OVER THE LAST YEARS
AND SO WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY

SENATOR COM AUGER. SENATOR CALM
WATER YOU MAY BEGIN. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND I THINK IT'S
STILL A GOOD MORNING TO EVERYONE
. YES THAT'S ELEVEN O'CLOCK SO
GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
I'M HERE TODAY TO PRESENT ON SB
TWELVE SEVENTY FIVE AND I WANT
TO THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
COMMITTEE STAFFER THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION THAT WE HAVE HAD ON
THIS BILL. SB TWELVE SEVENTY
FIVE LEE SAYS THAT IF YOU ARE A
CALIFORNIANS AND YOU HAVE BILLS
TO PAY TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT YOU CAN NOTE
THAT YOU MUST BUT THAT YOU CAN
USE VIRTUAL CURRENCY TO DO SO IF
THE STATE AGENCY WILL ALLOW IT.
SB TWELVE SEVENTY FIVE IS A
PERMISSIVE BILL THAT WOULD NOT
REQUIRE A STATE AGENCY TO ACCEPT
VIRTUAL. WHAT IT WOULD DO IS PUT
CALIFORNIA IN THE GAME ON AN
ISSUE WHERE WE HAVE BEEN SORELY
LACKING. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
THIRTY THREE STATES AUTHORED
LEGISLATION ON VIRTUAL CURRENCY
AND HOW TO USE IT EXCEPT IT
VALUE IT RECORD IT. AND REALLY
JUST HOW TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT
EXISTS. IN CALIFORNIA WAS NOT
ONE OF THOSE STATES AND SO HERE
WE ARE IN TWENTY TWO. VIRTUAL
CURRENCY IS HERE TO STAY AND
WHILE IT MAY NOT BE INGRAINED IN
DAILY LIFE. OR UBIQUITOUS IN THE
FINANCIAL ECOSYSTEM OR EVEN A
PROMINENT PART F AN INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIO IS ON TRACK TO BE ALL
OF THOSE THINGS AND MORE IN THE
VERY NEAR FUTURE. WE SHOULD NOT
BE AFRAID OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY WE
SHOULD BE EMBRACING IT. BECAUSE
IT IS MONEY. IT IS JUST MONEY
THAT IS STORED OR EXCHANGED
USING COMPUTER SYSTEMS. THE ROLE
OF PHYSICAL CASH IS DECLINING
ACROSS THE GLOBE AS INSTITUTIONS
ADOPT NEW TECHNOLOGIES. AND
VIRTUAL CURRENCY HAS ARRIVED AND
INDIVIDUALS AND COMPANIES ARE
ADOPTING IT. WHILE STOCK MARKET
INVESTORS ARE GENERALLY WHITE
MAN 44% OF BITCOIN AND CRYPTO
INVESTORS ARE NON WHITE SURVEY
SHOWS THAT 16% OF AMERICANS HAVE
INVESTED IN DIGITAL CURRENCY AND
ACCORDING TO DATA FROM HARRIS
POLL GIVEN EXCLUSIVELY TO USA
TODAY 23% OF AFRICAN AMERICANS
IN SEVENTEEN PERCENT. OF
HISPANIC AMERICANS OWN VIRTUAL
ASSETS WHICH IS JUST ABOUT
INVESTING NOT ABOUT PAYMENTS IT
IS CLEAR THAT BANKING
INSTITUTIONS ARE ALSO INVESTING
A LOT OF THEIR RESEARCH RESEARCH
RESOURCES AND RESEARCH REGARDING
CRYPTOCURRENCY INTEGRATION IN
THEIR OPERATIONS. VISA HAS
STARTED A CRYPTO CONSULTING
SERVICE AND INVESTED IN CRYPTO
PLATFORMS AS PART OF A PUSH FOR
DIGITAL CURRENCY ADOPTION APPLE
PAY AND GOOGLE PAY MAKE IT EVEN
EASIER TO SPEND VIRTUAL CURRENCY
CHASE AND BANK OF AMERICA ARE
INVESTING HEAVILY IN THIS SPACE
IN ORDER TO BE PREPARED FOR THE
WAVE OF TRANSACTIONS THAT ARE
COMING. MANY OF WHICH THEY ARE
ALREADY MISSING OUT ON. SB
TWELVE SEVENTY FIVE ACCEPTANCE
OF VIRTUAL CURRENCY MAKES SENSE
FOR STATE AGENCIES FOR THE SAME
REASONS THAT MAKES SENSE FOR
BUSINESSES THE EASE OF PAYMENT
BY THE CONSUMER. AND REDUCED
COSTS OF PAYMENT PROCESSING BY
THE SERVICE AGENCY. VIRTUAL
CURRENCY CAN BE USED AS A TOOL
FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTICE
ONE THAT CAN HELP UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES INCREASE OUR
ECONOMIC MOBILITY BY BUILDING
GENERATIONAL WEALTH. ACCORDING
TO THE FINANCIAL HEALTH NETWORK
UNBANKED AND UNDERBANKED
AMERICANS SPEND A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY NINE BILLION DOLLARS IN
FEES AND INTEREST ON FINANCIAL
PRODUCTS IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN THE
LATEST YEAR FOR WHICH THERE IS
COMPLETE DATA. USING THE FDIC'S
ESTIMATE THAT SOME SIXTY THREE
MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNBANKED
OR UNDERBANKED THAT WOULD BE AN
AVERAGE OF THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN ANNUAL COSTS PER
PERSON THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE TO
BEAR. MANY PEOPLE HAVE RAISED
CONCERNS ABOUT SECURITY AND
HACKING AND BAD ACTORS AND I DO
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOME OF
THAT. IN MY OPENING HEY THERE
ARE CONCERNS CONCERN SECURITY
CONCERNS HACKING AND BAD ACTORS
IN THE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL
LENDING SPACES RIGHT NOW. B.
THIS BILL WOULD NOT REQUIRE THE
STATE TO START ACCEPTING VIRTUAL
CURRENCY IN FACT IF THIS BILL
WERE TO MOVE INDIVIDUAL AGENCIES
THAT EXPRESSED INTEREST IN
ACCEPTING PAYMENTS COULD CONDUCT
THEIR OWN STUDY. AND MAKE
DECISIONS ABOUT IF THEY'RE
WILLING OR ABLE TO ACCEPT IT.
AND SEE. ANY BILL THAT DEALS
WITH CURRENCY SHOULD MAKE SURE
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS ARE IN
PLACE THAT SAFEGUARDS AGAINST
MALICIOUS ACTORS AND THERE ARE
VIABLE SOLUTIONS FOR THOSE AS
WELL AS SOLUTIONS FOR USER
PRIVACY. MY HOPE IS THAT THIS
WOULD BE ABLE TO CONTINUE SO
THAT THOSE DETAILS AND
GUARDRAILS COULD BE FLESHED OUT
. I ALSO WANT TO ADD THAT THERE
ARE STATE LEVEL STUDIES
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AS WELL AS
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER COMING FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE THAT ASKS FOR A
HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS. THE STUDY
AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE. IN THAT
REPORT IS SCHEDULED TO BE
FINISHED AND RELEASED IN
SEPTEMBER SO LOTS OF OUR EYES
ARE ON THIS ISSUE. AND SB TWELVE
SEVENTY FIVE WOULD JUST ALLOW A
LAUNCH PAD FOR WHEN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS READY. WITH ME IN
SUPPORT TODAY IS ALLEY MEDINA
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
BLOCKCHAIN ADVOCACY COALITION
AND MICHELLE NEEDS FROM
BLOCKCHAIN LAW AND SOCIAL GOOD
CENTER- WITHOUT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
AND I THINK I'M ALSO SUPPOSED TO
MENTION THAT. MY TWO WITNESSES
ARE IN THE GENERAL Q. RATHER-THAN THE DEDICATED LINE. AND SO
THEY MAY HAVE TO BE CALLED OUT.
OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH CENTER
COM AUGER I WILL NOW MOVES ON TO
ANYONE WAITING. WANTING TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT- SO LET'S
MOVE THERE'S NOBODY IN THE
CHAMBERS LET'S MOVE TO WITNESSES
WAITING TO TESTIFY VIA THE
TELECONFERENCE OR. AND IF SO YOU
CAN PRESS ONE ZERO WE CAN OPEN
YOUR LINE.
DISBARMENT HERE. ILLEGAL LINE
FIFTY SEVEN PLEASE GO AHEAD.
GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS MICHELLE
NEEDS AND I AM A LAW PROFESSOR
AT GOLDEN GATE UNIVERSITY I AM
ALSO THE FOUNDING DIRECTOR OF
THE BLOCKCHAIN LOT FOR SOCIAL
GOOD CENTER AND I WAS A MEMBER
OF THE CALIFORNIA BLOCKCHAIN
WORKING GROUP IN TWENTY NINETEEN
AND TWENTY TWENTY. OUT WE'RE
HERE BECAUSE BECAUSE WE
RECOGNIZE THE CRYPTO CURRENCY IS
A NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT THE BILL
IS INTRIGUING BECAUSE IT RAISES
THE POSSIBILITY THAT CALIFORNIA
COULD BE INVOLVED WITH THE USE
OF CRYPTO CURRENCIES AS A WAY TO
FOSTER FINANCIAL INCLUSION. SO
WE WOULD ADVOCATE FOR A BALANCED
AND RESEARCH APPROACH TO THE
ISSUE A CRYPTOCURRENCY VIEWED BY
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AS
OUTLINED IN THE CALIFORNIA
BLOCKCHAIN WORKING GROUP REPORT
THAT WAS PUBLISHED. IN JULY OF
TWENTY TWENTY- YOU KNOW THAT'S
IN THE IN. FINDERS IN IN
NUMEROUS. AROUND THE WORLD FOCUS
ON FINANCIAL. AND WE NEED TO
DEVELOP A BETTER PATH TOWARDS
FINANCIAL INCLUSION IN
CALIFORNIA. WELL WHERE THERE ARE
SUCH HIGH NUMBERS OF UNBANKED
AND UNDERBANKED POPULATIONS
ESPECIALLY AMONG COMMUNITY AS A
COLOR. CURRENTLY IN A- COULD
PLAY A ROLE IN THIS EFFORT TO
PROVIDE FINANCIAL SERVICES TO
TRADITIONALLY DISENFRANCHISED
POPULATION. AND GOVERNMENT
PAYMENTS AND RECEIPT OF PAYMENT
WOULD BE A STEP FORWARD. SO WITH
NEW TECHNOLOGY THERE ARE MANY
ISSUES TO BE CONSIDERED. FIRST
THE ISSUE OF PRIVACY AND
CYBERSECURITY ARE CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE AVOID UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES WHILE IT IS
ENSURING THAT INNOVATION AND
PUBLIC PROTECTION ARE WELL
BALANCED. WE ALSO SHOULD MAKE
SURE TO BE CAREFUL IN OUR
SELECTION OF A BLOCKCHAIN
APPLICATION TO RECEIVE AN
ADMINISTER CRYPTO PAYMENT.
BECAUSE IT MUST BE FLEXIBLE
ENOUGH TO ADAPT TO THE
FLUCTUATIONS. HAPPENING IN THIS
NEW TECHNOLOGY. LASTLY WE HOPE
THAT LED TO WOULD CONSIDER USING
AN APPLICATION THE FIFTY AND
WITH CALIFORNIA'S STATED VALUES
FROM THE BLOCKCHAIN WORKING
GROUP REPORT. THESE INCLUDE
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND
ISSUES OF FAIRNESS AND EQUITY
WHEN SELECTING APPLICATIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NEXT IN THE

TWELVE SEVENTY FIVE WHICH ALLOWS
THE AGENCIES TO ACCEPT
CRYPTOCURRENCY IS A FORM OF
PAYMENT. AS CALIFORNIA'S CHIEF
FISCAL OFFICER CONTROL HE
BELIEVES IT WOULD BE FISCALLY
IRRESPONSIBLE THE STATE TO
VENTURE INTO THE CRYPTOCURRENCY
SPACE AT THIS TIME SEOS PRIMARY
CONCERN CENTERS ON OUR OFFICES
CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO
PRODUCE TIMELY AND ACCURATE YEAR
END FINANCIAL REPORTS IN BOTH
THE BUDGETARY LEGAL BASIS IN A
FORMAT CONSISTENT WITH GENERALLY
ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES.
CALIFORNIA WAS ELEVEN MONTHLY

SIXTEEN AGENCIES AND A HUNDRED
EIGHTY THREE FUNDS STILL
DELINQUENT IN REPORTING THEIR
BUDGETARY LEGAL FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS. WELL AS HE WAS
WORKING WITH THESE DEPARTMENTS
INTRODUCING DIGITAL CURRENCIES A
METHOD OF PAYMENT FOR GOVERNMENT
SERVICES BILL TIME AND NOT
PRUDENT. GIVEN THE NEWNESS OF
CRYPTO CURRENCIES PREVAILING
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES WERE
ESTABLISHED A TIME TO DIGITAL
CURRENCIES WERE NOT YET
CONTEMPLATED. CALIFORNIA HAVE
WOULD HAVE CRYPTO CURRENCIES ON

BE LEFT WITHOUT ACCOUNTING

AND WE GO TO LINE SIXTY TWO
PLEASE GO AHEAD. DANIEL
GUTIERREZ ON BEHALF OF THE
CONSUMER FEDERATION OF
CALIFORNIA RESPECTFULLY IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL AND WE
LOOK FOR TO THINK ANY CHANGES
ARE MADE THE BILL BUT WE- WERE.
AND CURRENTLY NONE FURTHER IN Q.
OKAY THANK YOU TO ALL OUR
SUPPORT OPPOSITION WITNESSES
WILL BRING THE DISCUSSION BACK
TO OUR MEMBERS. ANYBODY WISHING
TO. YES THIS CENTER BACKER. YES
A TWENTIETH OF PERSONAL THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR HER WORK ON THIS
AT MEASURE- AND- DO YOU TAKE THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE- COMMENTS
IS SERIOUSLY I DID YOU WANT TO
ASK YOU KNOW IF YOU'D BE WILLING
TO DESERT AT POSSIBLE DOING SOME
KIND OF PILOT. OR SOMETHING
THAT- MIGHT ALLOW TO TEST THIS
OUT WITHOUT- REQUIRED A LOT OF
WORK ON A LARGER SCALE. THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION- ABSOLUTELY
INTERESTED IN. A PILOT-
INTERESTED IN ENGAGING WITH
DIFFERENT AGENCIES TO FIGURE OUT
WHICH ONES ARE MOST INTERESTED
IN VENTURING INTO THIS SPACE. MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE DEALS
MOSTLY WITH PAYROLL AND SO THIS
ISN'T NECESSARILY ANYTHING THAT
WOULD COME TO THAT PARTICULAR
OFFICE AND I KNOW THERE BEEN
MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
VOLATILITY AND FLUCTUATION SO
ALSO INTERESTED IN PRESENTING
MORE GUARD RAILS. SO THAT THE
STATE DOESN'T HAVE TO
NECESSARILY ACCEPT THE
CRYPTOCURRENCY AND THAT FORM BUT
COULD ACCEPT IT AS IT IS
CONVERTED INTO CASH. WHICH WILL
STOP THE VOLATILITY IN ISSUES
AND CONCERNS AROUND FLUCTUATION-
SO THE SHORT ANSWER AGAINST THE
LONG ANSWER IS YES. THANK YOU
ARE BE WILLING TO HELP SUPPORT
IN THE INTEREST OF CONTINUED ON
THOSE DISCUSSIONS. SENATOR
GLAZERS. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND I ALSO ENJOYED THANKING THE
AUTHOR FOR ADVANCING THIS
DISCUSSION BECAUSE IT'S AN
IMPORTANT DISCUSSION WE SEE- HOW
NEW INNOVATIONS AND PAYMENT
SYSTEMS AND- MONEY ARE HAPPENING
AROUND THE GLOBE- THE CONTROLLER
WAS VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT THE
PROBLEMS THAT SHE SAW WITH- WITH
ALLOWING THIS IN OUR STATE IN
TERMS OF THE FINANCIAL REPORTS
THAT. THAT OFFICE IS REQUIRED TO
PROVIDE AND THE PROBLEMS THAT
SHE'S HAD- JUST IN THE LAST FEW
YEARS OF SOLVING THE AUTHOR
COULD SPEAK TO THAT ISSUE WITH
THE FINANCIAL REPORTS THAT COULD
BE IN JEOPARDY- WITHOUT EITHER
OF YOU KNOW THE CARE THAT I KNOW
WE ALL WOULD WANT INDICT VANCE
IN THIS TYPE OF A PROGRAM AND
HAD A SECOND FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS
WELL MISTER CHAIRMAN. AND THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION- THE GOOD
NEWS IS THAT THIS IS NOT
HAPPENING TODAY AND IT WOULDN'T
HAPPEN TOMORROW AND I THINK MANY
OF- THE STATEMENTS AND COMMENTS
BOTH IN THE LETTER OF OPPOSITION
IN THE STATEMENTS TODAY TALK
ABOUT THE REPORTS THAT THE BACK
LOGGED ON NOW MY EXPECTATION AND
EVEN THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT THIS
ISN'T ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAPPEN
IMMEDIATELY I ALSO BELIEVE AS I
SIT IN CHAIR BUDGET SUB THAT
THEY'RE INTERESTED IN A BUDGET
INCREASE TO HELP THEM WITH THIS
KIND OF BACKLOG AND- I THINK
THAT'S ALSO VERY IMPORTANT- IT
DOES. AND THIS YOU KNOW MOVING
SOMETHING FORWARD ALLOWS FOR
THESE KINDS OF QUESTIONS TO BE
RAISED AND TO BE TACKLED. I'M
USING- THE REPORTS THAT HAVE
COME OUT OF THE BLOCKCHAIN
WORKING GROUP USING HOPEFULLY
THE STUDY THAT WILL COME FROM
THE FBI- IN A FINANCIAL
PROTECTION AND INNOVATION AND
HOPEFULLY EVEN USING THE
GUIDANCE THAT WOULD COME FROM-
THE WHITE HOUSE. THE SECOND
QUESTION WAS THERE AT THE
ANALYSIS AND THANK YOU TO THE
STAFF FOR WRITING A TERRIFIC
ANALYSIS ON THE BILL- RAISES THE
AYE CONCERNED IT INDICATES AT
LEAST THAT IT THIS ONE STATE HAD
ADOPTED THIS OHIO- AND THEN-
QUICKLY REVERSED COURSE. ARE YOU
AWARE OF ANY OTHER STATE THAT'S
ALLOWING THIS TYPE OF. ACTION TO
TAKE PLACE YES SO MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE- THE
ISSUE WITH THE OHIO IT REVERSED
COURSE BECAUSE THERE WAS THAT A
CHANGE- IN THE PERSON IN THE
POSITION YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY-
TO MOVE THAT KIND OF FORWARD
THAT- THIS ISSUE FORWARD AT. A
PARTY CHANGE AS WELL AS AN
IDEOLOGICAL CHANGE- BUT THERE AS
I MENTIONED IN MY OPENING THEIR
THIRTY SEVEN STATES THAT ARE
INVOLVED IN THIS WYOMING. NEW
YORK. ARIZONA OKLAHOMA COLORADO-
MANY OF THEM ARE EITHER.
ALLOWING YOU TO ACTUALLY PAY
YOUR TAXES WHAT DID VIRTUAL
CURRENCY ALLOWING YOU TO
PURCHASE A LOTTERY TICKETS
ALLOWING YOU TO PAY FOR
REGISTRATION FEES- YOU KNOW
ALLOWING YOU TO RECORD YOUR
INVESTMENTS AND SO THERE ARE
DOZENS OF- STATES. THAT HAVE
INTRODUCED- LAST YEAR AND THIS
YEAR THIS KIND OF LEGISLATION.
IN MY IN MY- MY TIME- I WOULD
JUST SAY THAT- NOT ALWAYS LIKE
CALIFORNIA TO BE AND- THE
INNOVATION STATE AND TO- IT'LL
BE A LEADER AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES
. BUT I REMAIN WORRIED AND
CONCERNED THAT- THAT WE MAY BE
GOING A LITTLE TOO FAST AND- I
WOULD LIKE TO. SEE A LITTLE BIT
MORE STUDY DONE AND MORE-
CALIBRATED. SMALL BABY STEPS
INTO THE SPACE- VERSUS THE
BROADER- AUTHORIZATION THAT
WOULD BE PROVIDED IN THE BILL
AND SO I AND- I AM IN A LAYOFF
THE BILL TODAY AND HOPE THAT- IF
THE BILL DOES MOVE FORWARD IT-
IT WEEK. IT CAN BE NARROWED TO A
PLACE OF A MORE THOUGHTFUL STUDY
AND CARE. ANYBODY ELSE WISHING
TO ADDRESS THE BODY ON THIS.
OKAY CENTER CAMARGO I BELIEVE
THE BILL'S PREMATURE IT COULD
LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS FOR
BOTH THE STATE AND THOSE SEEKING
TO USE THIS TYPE OF CURRENCY WE
MUST MAKE SURE THE APPROPRIATE
SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE AND
ENSURE THAT CUSTOMERS ARE
INFORMATION IS WELL PROTECTED
YOU HAVE BEEN DOLLARS YOURSELF
ABOUT THE STATE STUDY THAT'S
COMING THE FEDERAL STUDY THIS
COMING- I BELIEVE WE SHOULD WAIT
AND SEE WHAT THOSE STUDIES.
PRODUCED BEFORE WE MOVE DOWN
THAT ROAD WAS INTERESTING
BECAUSE I WAS- ON THE PHONE WITH
SENATOR COM AUGER THIS MORNING
PRIOR TO THAT THE TODAY SHOW
REPORTED THIS MORNING THE CRYPTO
CURRENCY IS THE SECOND LEADING
FRAUDULENT AREA IN FINANCE IN
THE COUNTRY TODAY. THAT IS VERY
CONCERNING TO ME IS WILL WELL I
HOPE THAT YOU WOULD AGREE TO A
WORKING GROUP TO STUDY THIS
ISSUE AND ALLOW MORE TIME TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS IT
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE YOU'RE OPEN TO
THAT SUGGESTION SO ODD
UNFORTUNATELY I CANNOT SUPPORT
THE BILL AS IS SENATOR COM AUGER
WHICH I DO CLOSE. YES THANK. YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND I AM.
WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE AND I'M
OPEN TO A DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION
AS I MENTIONED IN MY OPENING IT
THIS IS A PERMISSIVE BILL AND SO
THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT OR
MANDATE. THAT ALL AGENCIES HAVE
TO START IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTING
DIGITAL CURRENCY AS PAYMENT-
THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN INVESTING IN DIGITAL
CURRENCY WHICH I THINK WHERE
MOST OF THE DISCUSSION LINES.
AND THEN ACTUALLY USING DIGITAL
CURRENCY TO PAY FOR SOMETHING-
THERE'S ALSO A HUGE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN ACCEPTING DIGITAL
CURRENCY IN ITS FORM RIGHT AND
IT'S DIGITAL FORM. AS OPPOSED TO
WORKING WITH THIRD PARTY VENDORS
TO CONVERT IT INTO CASH WE
ACTUALLY THERE IS A AS A BANK
HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA-
THAT ACCEPTS DIGITAL CURRENCY
AND SO THESE THINGS ARE
HAPPENING. IN CITIES AND
COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE AND
THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS AS I
MENTIONED TO CREATE A LAUNCHING
PAD FOR THE STATE TO BEGIN TO.
INCREMENTALLY OR NOT MOVE INTO
THIS SPACE AS WELL I WANT TO
ALSO ADD THAT THE UNITED STATES
IS TIED FOR TENTH PLACE IN THE
WORLD IN TERMS OF HOW MANY OF
OUR CITIZENS ARE RESIDENTS. OWN
AND USE DIGITAL CURRENCY- THE
PEOPLE BEEN TALKING ABOUT RISK
YOU KNOW THE INTERNET IS RISKY
PEOPLE WERE SCARED ABOUT
INVESTING IN INTERNET STOCKS IN
THE NINETIES AND THEN LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED- AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT
SUGGESTING. THAT WE DON'T TAKE
ANY OF THOSE THINGS INTO
CONSIDERATION IN FACT WHAT I'M
SUGGESTING IS WHY DON'T WE USE
THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE
REPORT THAT ARE IN PROCESS NOW
TO HELP GUIDE HOW WE CONTINUE TO
DEVELOP GUARD RAILS. AND YET
ALLOW FOR THE FLEXIBILITY THAT
CAN ENCOURAGE THOUSANDS HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS PERHAPS MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS WHO HAVE DIGITAL
CURRENCY AND WOULD LIKE THAT TO
PAY FOR A STATE PROVISION. IN A
WAY THAT IS SAFE IN A WAY THAT
IS SECURE AND IN A WAY THAT DOES
NOT EEP BILL. PUSH THE
LIABILITY OF VOLATILITY ON TO
THE STATE THERE ARE SO MANY
OPPORTUNITIES THAT ARE OUT THERE
AND THIS BILL IS JUST ASKING THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO BE PART
OF DISCUSSING- THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES. WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS I RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S A
NO VOTE COMING FROM THE CHAIR
AND IF THIS WERE TO FAIL I AM
WOULD CERTAINLY ASK FOR
RECONSIDERATION SO THAT WE CAN
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO CONTINUE
THIS CONVERSATION. IN THIS HOUSE
