ANYBODY HERE ON THE COMMITTEE
WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON SENATE
BILL FOURTEEN THIRTY EIGHT. I'VE
SAID DR THANK YOU IT'S JUST A
QUESTION ABOUT THE ONE OF THE
FIRST AUTHOR AMENDMENTS WHICH
WAS SAID TWO POINT EXACTLY WHAT
EXEMPTS FROM PROVISIONS OF STATE
CIVIL SERVICE ACT. WHAT DOES NOT
CLARIFY THE REASON FOR EXEMPTING
THE EXECUTIVE OFFICER FROM THE
CIVIL SERVICE ACT. I'VE BEEN
INFORMED THAT ALL OF THE
EMPLOYEES ARE EXEMPT AS
PHYSICIANS. OKAY ALL EMPLOYEES
OF THIS BORDER ALL BOARDS ARE
EXEMPT FROM CIVIL SERVICE ACT.
CAN YOU ACTUALLY GET. BUT.
OKAY. OKAY ALL RIGHT AT A VERY
BRIEF I APPRECIATE THAT ANSWER-
YOU KNOW THE ONE REASONS I RAISE
THE QUESTION IS JUST THAT- YOU
TOO MANY TIMES AGENCIES HAVE
REQUESTED- PARTICULAR. A
RESIDENT AGENCIES TO BE EXEMPT
FROM CIVIL SERVICE ACT FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ACTUALLY PAYMENT
SALLY STILL DIFFERENT THAN THE
CIVIL SERVICE SALARY SCALE. AND
TWELVE THAT MAY BE NECESSARY AT
TIMES I THINK THAT ALSO RAISES
THE QUESTION IF THAT HAPPENS SO
FREQUENTLY THAT WE NEED TO
REVISIT THE CIVIL SERVICE SALARY
SCALE AS WE CAN BE COMPETITIVE
AS A STATE. SO I JUST WANT TO
CLARIFY THAT BUT- I APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT THE EXECUTIVE
OFFICER DOES NEED TO BE ABLE TO
SERVE AT THE- PLEASURE OF THE
BOARD. ITSELF THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SIR. IN ANY OTHER

CHAIR I'LL BE PRESENTING- SP
NINE SIXTY TWO. WHICH ENSURES
RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS
WHO MEET THE COLLEGE OF AMERICAN
PATHOLOGISTS STANDARDS MAY WORK
AS LABORATORY DIRECTORS AND
TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS IN
MODERATE. COMPLEXITY
LABORATORIES. CALIFORNIA'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR LABORATORY
PERSONNEL LICENSURE HAVE BECOME
A BARRIER FOR OTHERWISE
QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS AS
DEFINED BY THE COLLEGE OF
AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS
REQUIREMENTS. RESPIRATORY CARE
PRACTITIONERS ARE TRAINED AND
LICENSED TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE
BLOOD GASES AND RESPIRATORY
SECRETIONS. JUST AS IS NECESSARY
IN MODERATE COMPLEXITY
LABORATORIES. EARLIER THIS YEAR
THERE WERE OVER TWENTY ONE
THOUSAND RESPIRATORY CARE
PRACTITIONERS IN CALIFORNIA ANY
OF WHOM COULD QUALIFY TO BE
TECHNICAL CONSULTANT ACCORDING
TO C. P. STANDARDS ASSUMING THEY
HOLD  REQUIRED
BACHELOR'S DEGREE. THIS BILL
UPDATE THE DEFINITIONS OF
LABORATORY DIRECTOR AND
TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS TO INCLUDE
RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS
THAT MEET THE CAP STANDARDS.
THIS CHANGE WILL PROVIDE CAREER
ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR
INDIVIDUALS INDIVIDUALS ALREADY
WORKING IN BUT BLOOD GAS LABS AS
REGULAR TESTING PERSONNEL AND
HELP FILL THE CURRENT GAP IN
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL FOR THOSE
LABORATORIES. I'VE GOT TO- AS
SOME FOLKS ON THE LINE THEY'RE
AVAILABLE FOR- QUESTIONS IF
THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS AND I
THINK SOME WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
. THANK YOU SENATOR WE GENERALLY
LIMITS EACH SIDE TO A TOTAL OF
THREE MINUTES I'LL TRY TO HOLD
YOU TO THAT HERE IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE
JENNIFER TANNEHILL AND DOCTOR
GERALD DIVERSITY IF I PRONOUNCE
THAT CORRECTLY. HERE AS LEAD
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL. PLEASE PROCEED. GOOD
MORNING CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
JENNIFER TANNER HILL WITH THE
ERIN READ IT SAYS IT'S ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA SOCIETY FOR
RESPIRATORY CARE. BUT I THINK
THE- THE COMMITTEE FOR WORKING
WITH US IN THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE
FOR WORKING WITH US. TO GET SOME
GOOD AMENDMENTS INTO THE BILL. A
RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS
ALSO KNOWN AS RESPIRATORY
THERAPISTS WORK WITH VULNERABLE
PAPER PATIENT POPULATIONS FROM
INFANTS TO THE ELDERLY R. CP'S
HAVE SPECIALIZED TRAINING IN
CARDIOLOGY AND PULMONOLOGY THEY
WORK WITH PATIENTS IN INTENSIVE
CARE UNITS OPERATING ROOMS
OUTPATIENT CLINICS. SLEEP
CLINICS LABORATORIES AND HOME
HEALTH ENVIRONMENTS EVEN IN
HELICOPTERS TRANSPORTING
CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS AND
MANAGING THE PATIENT'S AIRWAY.
MOST RECENTLY R. C. P.'S WORK ON
THE FRONT LINES BATTLING CODE
NINETEEN FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING TO BREATHE. IT IS
MORE THAN APPROPRIATE TO ALLOW
R. CP'S WHO MEET THE REST OF THE
COLLEGE OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS
REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO
LAB DIRECTOR AND TECHNICAL
CONSULTANT POSITIONS. IN THE
MODERATE COMPLEXITY LABS IN
WHICH THEY WORK IN HOSPITALS
THESE LABS ARE OFTEN LOCATED IN
THIS RESPIRATORY CARE
DEPARTMENT. DUE TO THE NATURE OF
THE WORK WE REQUEST YOUR SUPPORT
I'LL GIVE THE REST OF MY TIME TO
DOCTORS OF OR SKI. GOOD MORNING
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS I'M GERALD
DIVORCE SKI I HAVE A PHD IN
EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE AND I HAVE
A LICENSE TO PRACTICE
RESPIRATORY CARE IN CALIFORNIA
AND ILLINOIS. I HAVE PUBLISHED
SEVERAL PEER REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC
ARTICLES ON BLOOD GASES AND
ELECTROLYTES AND LACTATE
STABILITY FOR THE LAST TWO AND A
HALF YEARS I WORKED IN THE BLOOD
GAS LAB AT UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA DAVIS. THE LAB IS
CONSIDERED MODERATELY COMPLEX
BASED ON SEVEN CRITERIA FROM THE
FEDERAL CLEAN AIR REGULATIONS.
WHEN I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN I DID NOT
REALIZE HOW LIMITING THE CURRENT
LAWS ARE FOR LABORATORY
PERSONNEL. IT IS DISHEARTENING
THAT SOMEONE WITH A PHD IN A
LICENSE TO PRACTICE RESPIRATORY
CARE. WITH NUMEROUS PUBLICATIONS
IN THE SCIENTIFIC FIELD DOES NOT
QUALIFY AS A TECHNICAL
CONSULTANT. IN A MODERATE
COMPLEXITY LAB. HOWEVER CLINICAL
LABORATORY SCIENTIST WITH A
BACHELOR'S DEGREE ARE ELIGIBLE
AS TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS IN
CALIFORNIA. A TECHNICAL
CONSULTANT ISA VITAL LABORATORY
POSITION SINCE THEY PERFORM
YEARLY COMPETENCY CHECK OFFS FOR
LAB PERSONNEL. TO MAINTAIN LAB
ACCREDITATION. IT HAS BEEN
HIGHLY FRUSTRATING NOT TO
PERFORM THIS THIS KIND OF JOB
THAT I WAS INITIALLY HIRED FOR.
THE FEDERAL CLEAR REGULATIONS
REQUIRE A BACHELOR'S DEGREE WITH
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE AS A
LABORATORY DIRECTOR OF A
MODERATE COMPLEXITY LAB. THIS
BILL SB NINE SIXTY TWO GOES
BEYOND THE KLIA BY REQUIRING THE
MORE STRINGENT COLLEGE OF
AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS GUIDELINES
FOR LABORATORY PERSONNEL
LICENSURE. THE COLLEGE OF
AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS GUIDELINES
REQUIRE A LABORATORY DIRECTOR TO
HAVE A DOCTORATE IN A BIOLOGICAL
SCIENCE AMONG OTHERS AND ONE
YEAR EXPERIENCE IN LAB
SUPERVISION. ANOTHER PATH TO LAB
DIRECTORSHIP IS A MEDICAL
LICENSE AND ONE YEAR A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE. TO BE CONSIDERED A
TECHNICAL CONSULTANT THE COLLEGE
OF AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS REQUIRE
THE SAME BACHELOR'S DEGREE AND
TWO YEARS OF LAB EXPERIENCE ALL
RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS
ARE TRAINED IN BLOOD SAMPLING
ANALYSES INTERPRETATION. AND IT
SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO EITHER THE
TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS OR
LABORATORY DIRECTOR POSITIONS IF
THEY MEET THE COLLEGE OF
AMERICAN PATHOLOGISTS STANDARDS.
DATA FROM THE RESPIRATORY CARE
BOARD OF CALIFORNIA SHOW THAT

TWENTY SIX THANK YOU MR CHAIR.
GOOD MORNING KEREN MEMBERS I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT S. B.
THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX WHICH WOULD
ALLOW THE CROSS JURISDICTIONAL
IMPORT AND EXPORT TO OTHER
STATES OF CANNABIS AND CANNABIS
PRODUCTS GROWN AND PRODUCED IN
CALIFORNIA BY AUTHORIZING THE
GOVERNOR TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE LAWFUL
INTERSTATE COMMERCE. CALIFORNIA
IS HOME TO THE NATION'S OLDEST
AND LARGEST CANNABIS INDUSTRY IN
THE US WITH WIDE KANNST
CONSENSUS THE CALIFORNIA
PRODUCES MORE CANNABIS THEY CAN
THEN IT CONSUMES HISTORICALLY
MOST OF THE CANNABIS GROWN IN
CALIFORNIA WAS EXPORTED UP 280%
BY SOME ESTIMATES AND THIS
PROHIBITION HAS CONSEQUENTLY
LEFT MANY CALIFORNIA CANNABIS
PRODUCERS. LEGAL CANNABIS
PRODUCERS WITH NO VIABLE PATHWAY
INTO THE LEGAL REGULATED MARKET.
WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE MARKET
EXPANSION IS ONE PART OF THE
SOLUTION TO STABILIZE THE LEGAL
INDUSTRY AND MISTER CHAIR I KNOW
YOU AND I HAVE SAT THROUGH
HEARINGS WHERE WE TALK ABOUT A
MYRIAD OF ISSUES WITH- CANNABIS
AND PART OF THAT ISSUES ARE ARE
TAXING NO QUESTION ABOUT IT-
THIS DOESN'T DEAL WITH THAT BUT-
ONE OF THIS IS A PARTIAL
SOLUTIONS. TO STABILIZE THE
LEGAL INDUSTRY AND INCENTIVIZE
PARTICIPATION IN THE REGULATED
MARKET HELLO- IS THIS BILL
CALIFORNIA WRIST THE CLASS
COLLAPSE THE PORTIONS OF THE
LEGAL INDUSTRY. THIS WOULD TAKE
US BACKWARDS AND WOULD RESULT IN
CONSIDERABLE EXPANSION OF THE
ILLICIT MARKET IN CALIFORNIA S.
B. THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX WOULD
PROVIDE A MECHANISM FOR
CALIFORNIA TO PERMIT PROSPEROUS
FICTIONAL CANNABIS COMMERCE WITH
ANY STATE THAT HAS LEGALIZED
CANNABIS USE. CALIFORNIA HAS
HISTORICALLY BEEN A NET EXPORTER
OF CANNABIS AND S. B. THIRTEEN
TWENTY SIX WILL DEMONSTRATE
CALIFORNIA'S WILLINGNESS TO
LEGALLY SUPPLIED CANNABIS TO
OTHER STATES WHO HAVE
TRADITIONALLY IMPORTED THESE
PRODUCTS ILLEGALLY. AND PRESENT
PRESENTLY HAVE DIFFICULTY
MEETING THE NEEDS OF THEIR LEGAL
OUR- THE PROPOSED INTER INTER
STATE CANNABIS ACTIVITIES MUST
BE LAWFUL AND SUBJECT TO
LICENSORS UNDER BOTH OF THE
STATE THE LOSS OF BOTH OF THE
STATE. S. B. THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX
REQUIRES THE AGREEMENT TO
INCLUDE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
. LABELING STANDARDS A SYSTEM TO
REGULATE AND TRACK CANNABIS-
COLLECTION OF APPLICABLES TAXES
ALL THE RULES THAT CALIFORNIA
HAS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT THE
PUBLIC AND THE LEGAL INDUSTRY
ANY OUT OF STATE CANNABIS ITEMS
DELIVERED TO CALIFORNIA WOULD
NEED TO BE TESTED PACKAGED AND
LABELED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LAW. SB
THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX PROVIDES A
RELIEF VALVE FOR THE OVER SUPPLY
OF CANNABIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
GROW CALIFORNIA'S BRAND AND
MARKET SHARE WOULD SUPPORT JOB
CREATION AND GIVES THE STATE A
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AS FEDERAL. TO ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA CAN
FULLY CAPITALIZE ON AND REMAIN A
LEADER IN THE FORTHCOMING
NATIONAL CANNABIS MARKET I'D
LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIRMAN THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR
THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS OF THE BILL
SHOULD THIS BILL MOVE FORWARD
TODAY I AM COMMITTED TO
CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS TO
DEVELOP AN APPROPRIATE MECHANISM
TO ENSURE THE LEGISLATURE'S
INVOLVEMENT. IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE INTERSTATE AGREEMENT
UNDER THIS BILL WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT AND ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE
IS LAUREN FRAZIER SHE'S FROM THE

PROBLEM IS ONE OF THE RARE. GOOD
MORNING IRAQ AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. ONE RADAR FOUNDING
BOARD MEMBER OF THE CANNABIS
DISTRIBUTION OF BOTH THE ASIAN
HERE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX.
THAT WILL ALLOW FOR EXPORT TO
LEGAL MARKET WHERE THERE HAVE
BEEN A DEMAND FOR CALIFORNIA
CANNABIS PROTECTING. THE MARKET
ACCIDENTAL FOR CANDIDATES
PATIENT AND MARKET EXPANSION
BELL FOR CANNABIS OPERATOR.
WHICH WE DESPERATELY NEED IN
LIGHT OF THE SLOW MOVING PROCESS
FOR RETAIL EXPANSION HERE WITHIN
CALIFORNIA. THOUSANDS OF SMALL
FARMS AND BUSINESSES THAT HAVE
PUT EVERYTHING ON THE LINE TO
ENTER THE LEGAL INDUSTRY CAN'T
AFFORD TO WAIT. ANY CHEATING
INTERSTATE COMMERCE NOW RATHER
THAN WAITING YEARS FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF FEDERAL
LEGALIZATION WOULD BENEFIT BOTH
PRODUCER AND CONSUMER STATE OF
ALL PATIENTS CONSUMERS SMALL AND
SOCIAL EQUITY BUSINESSES AND THE
ENVIRONMENT. COORDINATED ACTION
BY EIGHT I HAVE LEGALIZED
COMMERCIAL CANNABIS AND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A SENSIBLE AND
SECURE MULTI STATE LEGAL
CANNABIS MARKET. TO PROVIDE
NECESSARY EXPANSION
OPPORTUNITIES FOR DATING LEGAL
OPERATOR WHILE PORTING A POLICY
SHIFT TO GUIDE THE FEDERAL
CONVERSATION IN THE COMING
YEARS. CALIFORNIA'S LICENSED
DISTRIBUTOR REPRESENTED BY THE
CANNABIS DISTRIBUTION
ASSOCIATION ARE GRATEFUL TO THE
AUTHOR FOR ELEVATING THIS
IMPORTANT POLICY AND FOR THE
COMMITTEE'S CONSIDERATION TODAY
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
CERA DOCKETS GOOD MORNING
SHARING COMMITTEE MEMBERS HERE
TO CAT ON BEHALF OF THE RULE
COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES OF
CALIFORNIA IN STRONG SUPPORT OF
SB THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX AS
SENATOR CAFIERO SPOKE EARLIER
CALIFORNIA HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN
AN EXPORTER STATE AND SP
THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX WOULD ALLOW
THE PROSPEROUS DIVISIONAL IMPORT
AND EXPORT OF CANNABIS AND
CANNABIS PRODUCTS BY AUTHORIZING
THE GOVERNOR TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT WITH OTHER LEGALIZED
STATES AS MANY AS EIGHTEEN
STATES HAVE LEGALIZED ADULT USE
AND THIRTY STATES ALLOW MEDICAL
USE COORDINATED ACTION BY STATES
THAT HAVE LEGALIZED CANNABIS IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SENSIBLE
AND SECURE. MULTI STATE CANNABIS
MARKET WILL PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT
FEDERAL SHIFT MANY CANNABIS
BUSINESSES PARTICULARLY AT
PARTICULARLY IN RULE PRODUCING
REGIONS OF CALIFORNIA ARE
STRUGGLING TO SURVIVE AND MARKET
EXPANSION IS AN IMPORTANT PART
OF THE SOLUTION TO STABILIZE THE
INDUSTRY AND INCENTIVIZE
PARTICIPATION IN THE REGULATED
MARKET WITHOUT MARKET EXPANSION
CALIFORNIA RISK THE COLLAPSE OF
PORTIONS OF THE LEGAL INDUSTRY
DEVASTATING MANY RURAL
COMMUNITIES WHICH CAN LEAD TO A
SIGNIFICANT EXPANSION OF THE
ILLICIT MARKET IN DIRE ECONOMIC
IMPACTS TO LOCAL ECONOMIES SP
THIRTEEN TWENTY SIX IS A MUCH
NEEDED RELIEF VALVE FOR THE OVER
SUPPLY OF CANNABIS AND AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GROW CALIFORNIA'S
CANNABIS ECONOMY. FOR THESE

ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS. THERE ARE TWO LITTLE
YES THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN AND- I
AM SO PLEASED AT THAT WE'RE
LOOKING OUT FOR FARMERS AND
LABOR AS WELL MY CONCERN AND I'M
HOPING THAT IN THE BILL OR IN
THE FUTURE WE CAN ALLOCATE
SUFFICIENT FUNDS FROM THE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT MAY COME
FROM THE EXPORT IMPORTED UP FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT. MAKE SURE THAT
WE TAKE CARE OF THEM WHERE IN
TURN THEY CAN FIGHT THE ILLEGAL
GROWERS FIGHT THE ILLEGAL
PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF
MARIJUANA- IN AROUND THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA DO YOU FORESEE
THAT- THERE WILL BE ALLOCATED
FUNDS WITH THE ADDITIONAL
PROCEEDS THAT. MAY COME FROM
THIS BILL. THANK YOU VERY. THE
QUESTION SURE THINK THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- SENATOR TO LEAD
APPRECIATE THE QUESTION- THE
THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT THE-
THE FINANCING PORTION. OR THE
TAXING PORTION OF THE MARIJUANA
MARKET NEEDS TO BE. REORGANIZED
I'VE BEEN PART OF A HEARING
WHERE WE LOOKED AT THAT AND-
IT'S EXTREMELY COMPLICATED AND
IT'S PART OF WHAT IS DRIVING
PEOPLE TO THE ELEVEN ILLICIT
MARKET BECAUSE THE TAXES ARE SO
HIGH. THAT IT'S A LOT CHEAPER TO
BUY FROM THE ILLICIT MARKET AND
THAT'S PART OF WHAT THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY IS CONCERNED ABOUT AS
WELL IS THAT IT THEY'RE FIGHTING
ON ALL FRONTS TO BE ABLE TO
OPERATE AND- AND MANAGE AND PART
OF IT IS THAT TAX STRUCTURE SO I
HAVE NO. NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO RETHINK IT-
HOW WE DO OUR TAXES IT'S FAIRLY
COMPLICATED AND THAT'S NOT THE
SUBJECT OF THIS BILL BUT IT
CERTAINLY CAN BE SOMETHING THAT
WOULD BE THAT COULD BE PART OF A
COMPACT IS THAT ADDITIONAL
REVENUES WOULD GO TO INSURE THAT
WE- ARE MAINTAINING A LIT. A
LEGAL MARKET AND THAT WE'RE
DRIVING THE ILLEGAL- PRODUCERS
OUT OF BUSINESS. BUT YOU'RE FINE
MAY. I THINK WHEN THIS WHOLE
THING STARTED OBVIOUSLY YEARS
AGO WE HAD NO IDEA THAT THE
COST. OF THAT THE INDUSTRY WOULD
WOULD BE FACING BECAUSE OF THE
TAXES AND WHAT HAVE YOU BUT WE
ALSO I DON'T THINK WE REALIZED
THE NUMBER OF IT OF ILLEGAL.
FARMS AND- IN THE STATE- NOT
JUST IN CALIFORNIA BUT
THROUGHOUT THE OTHER STAGE SO
I'M I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN TAKE
ANOTHER GOOD LOOK AT THIS AND-
AND SENATOR IF YOU WOULD.
PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE LOOK INTO
THAT TO MAKE SOME ADJUSTMENTS SO
WE CAN'T FIGHT DELICIOUS. THE
LEGAL- GROWERS AND- AND HELP THE
INDUSTRY DO WHAT WAS AFTER
ACCOMPLISH AND- TO MAKE ENOUGH
MONEY FOR THEMSELVES BUT ALSO
PRODUCE INCOME FOR THE STATE.
AND TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO
ARE NEAT. THANK YOU FOR THAT I
DO APPRECIATE I HAVE ANOTHER
BILL IT'S NOT HERE TODAY THAT
THAT DEALS WITH THAT WATER
DIVERSIONS. AND UP-
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CAUSED
BY THE ILLEGAL GROWS AND SO I
THINK IF WE PUT A NOTE ON A
NUMBER OF PIECES IN PLACE. WE
CAN DO A LOT TO REDUCE THE
ILLICIT MARKET. SO I APPRECIATE
THAT. THANK YOU MR SURNAME ED
THANK YOU MR SACK OF A. R. I
JUST WANNA SAY BRIEFLY YOU KNOW
I AGREE A 100% WITH THE LOGIC OF
YOUR BILL I THINK IT'S THE RIGHT
DIRECTION WE ARE GLAD TO SUPPORT
TODAY- IN HAPPY TO MOVE IT WHEN
APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU SIR
WILLIAM CENTER CAREER WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE. UP SIR ATTENDANCE
HERE MIKE. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR I HAVE A QUESTION AT THE
AUTHOR. AUTHOR WOULD YOU LIKE TO
QUESTION. UP I HAVE A COUPLE
CONCERNS BUT NOT ANYTHING IN
REGARDS TO WHAT WAS DISCUSSED ON
THE ON THE FLOOR AS OF RIGHT NOW
BUT MY QUESTION REALLY STEMS
AROUND THE PURPOSE BEHIND
INCLUDING LANGUAGE TO ADD A
FOREIGN LICENSE YOU TO ENGAGE IN
COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITIES.
I BELIEVE THAT'S THAT'S PART OF
THIS BILL- AND PARTICULARLY- AND
JUST INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF
YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION IN
TERMS OF. HOW MANY YOU KNOW
PERMITS ARE GIVEN OUT THROUGHOUT
THE STATE THAT ARE IN OVERDRAFT
BASINS. AND THEN THE OTHER
CONCERN THAT I HAVE REALLY A
SLASH QUESTION. IS REALLY JUST A
MESS WITH WATER I MEAN WE'VE
HEARD THAT THERE IS. THEFT OF
WATER AND A LOT OF IT IS TIED
TO. AT ILLEGAL GROWS OF
MARIJUANA. AT THAT SEEMS TO BE
FRONT AND CENTER OF THIS IF THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE. AND SO I JUST
WANT TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY
SAFEGUARDS IN THIS BILL IN
REGARDS TO THAT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR FOR YOUR
QUESTIONS- FIRST OF ALL IS THAT
THE- IN REGARDS TO LICENSEES.
THE BILL. REQUIRES THAT ANY
AGREEMENT THAT THE GOVERNOR
WOULD ENTER INTO ON BEHALF OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WOULD
REQUIRE THAT ANY LICENSING
RESTRICTIONS THAT WE HAVE. ON
OUR OWN LICENSEES WOULD WOULD-
HAVE TO BE. MIRRORED IN THE
JURISDICTION THAT WERE DOING
BUSINESS WITH SO THAT WE
WOULDN'T PUT AN UNFAIR BURDEN ON
CALIFORNIA LICENSEES- WE WOULD
HAVE THE SAME BURDEN ON ANY
LICENSEES THAT WANT TO SELL
PRODUCTS IN CALIFORNIA SO IT
IT'S A TWO WAY. TO A STREET-
NUMBER ONE NUMBER TWO IS IN
REGARDS TO THE OVER DRAFTED
BASINS ON WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT
THERE ARE ILLEGAL GROWS
HAPPENING ALL OVER THE STATE-
AS- FAR AS UP. UP IN- THAT
NORTHERN MOST PART OF THE STATE
CLOSE TO OREGON ALL THE WAY DOWN
TO- THAT MEXICO BORDER AND THE
ESTIMATES ARE THAT HUNDREDS. OF
THOUSANDS. OF GALLONS OF-
ACTUALLY IT'S NOT YALA'S BECAUSE
THEY USE ACRE FEET AS THE AS THE
MEASUREMENT- ARE BEING DIVERTED
IN ORDER TO. EFFECTUATE THESE
GROWS- AND SO- PART OF THE
CHALLENGE WE HAVE IS TO HAVE A
GOOD ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM TO BE
ABLE TO GO IN. AND TO SHUT DOWN
THESE ILLEGAL GROWS. THAT WILL
MAKE A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE IN
OUR WATER SUPPLY- A LOT OF THE
WATER THAT- THAT ENDS UP IN OUR
RIVERS IS NOT. GETTING THERE SO
THE DELTA IS SHORTED. HUNDREDS
OF. OF ACRE FEET ARE HUNDREDS TO
THOUSANDS OF ACRE FEET EVERY
YEAR AND YET WE'RE TAKING FROM
WE'RE NOT DOING WATER DELIVERIES
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
BECAUSE THE DELTA DOESN'T HAVE
ANY WATER SO- THIS IS ONE OF OUR
OUR SOLUTIONS IS TO- ONE OF OUR
WATER SOLUTIONS IS TO REALLY
STOP THE ILLEGAL DIVERSION
BECAUSE OF BECAUSE OF. A
MARIJUANA GROWS IN ADDITION TO
THE WATER BEING IMPACTED YOU
HAVE- POLLUTION AS WELL AS
UNREGULATED- PESTICIDES AND
HERBICIDES ARE USED ON THESE
GROSS SO THAT ALSO CONTAMINATES
THE WATER IN THE WELLS- AS WELL
SO THE THEFT WATER BECOMES
IMPORTANT THIS BILL DOESN'T DEAL
WITH THAT BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT IT IT IS CRITICAL TO OUR-
TO OUR WATER SYSTEM THAT WE- WE
STOP THESE ILLEGAL GROWS. AND I
JUST WANT TO CONCLUDE BY THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR THE FOR THE-
ANSWERS AND- I JUST WANT TO
CONCLUDE WITH- THE SAME VARIETY.
I HAVE THESE CONCERNS AND WE
RESPECTFULLY I'LL BE NOT VOTING
FOR THIS BILL ACTUALLY. I HAVE A
BILL SENATE BILL TEN EIGHTY FOUR
THAT- TOUCHES ON FOREIGN
AGRICULTURAL LAND HOLDINGS. I
THINK THAT IT COULD BECOME
INCREASINGLY MORE OF AN ISSUE
AND MORE THAN HAPPY TO YOU KNOW
WORK WITH YOU AND OTHERS THAT
ARE PART OF YOUR- OF YOUR BILL
TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF ADDRESS
SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS THAT I
HAVE. BUT- AND HOPEFULLY CAN
SUPPORT DOWN THE ROAD THANK YOU
. THANK YOU- PAN. THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SECOND ROW
FOR BRAINS BILL FORD JUST A
QUESTION TERMS IF I UNDERSTAND
FROM WHAT YOUR TESTIMONY THAT.
IF WE HAVE A COMPACT WITH
ANOTHER STATE THAT CERTAINLY
ANY- CANNABIS ACCOUNTS OF THAT
STATE IN THE CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO
BE CALIFORNIA'S. CORRECT I GUESS
THE QUESTION IS THAT- DURING
INSTRUCTIONS IN TERMS OF THE-
CONTACTS IF SOMEONE WITH A GROWS
IN CALIFORNIA MAINLY FOR EXPORT
. THAT THEY ALSO HAVE TO WE WANT
TO BE SURE THEY FOLLOW
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE THE GROWING
AT A CALIFORNIA THEY MAY HAVE
DIFFERENT STANDARDS OF OUT OF
STATE RIGHT TERMS OF SELLING AND
THAT OTHER STATE THAT AT LEAST
THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW CALIFORNIA.
GOVERNMENTAL AND OTHER
PROTECTIONS SINCE THEY'RE
GROWING IN CALIFORNIA AND THAT
OF COURSE IMPACTS OUR STATE EVEN
IF THERE LET'S SAY MAINLY
EXPORTING ALL OF IT TO THE OTHER
STATE AND THE CONTACT. VERY GOOD
QUESTION- THERE'S NOTHING IN
THIS BILL THAT CHANGES AND WOULD
ALLOW- A- EITHER A GROWER OR
PRODUCER FOR PROJECT IN
CALIFORNIA CAN NOT MEET
CALIFORNIA STANDARDS IN ORDER TO
PARTICIPATE IN AN INTERSTATE
COMPACT SO- THEY WOULD HAVE TO
COMPLY WITH ALL OF OUR
REGULATORY OVERSIGHT. IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR CALIFORNIANS AND
IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR THE
RECEIVING STATE AS WELL ALL
RIGHT APPRECIATE THAT
CLARIFICATION I DID HEAR YOUR
COMMITMENT TO WORK ON
LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT I WOULD
LIKE TO SEE BEFORE THE BILL GETS
ON THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE
ACTUALLY HAVE TO PROVE COMPACTS-
SO- WITH THAT- SO HELP SUPPORT
YOUR BILL TODAY TO ALLOW TO
BEFORE THANK YOU. THANK YOU

VOTE IS EIGHT OZ ONE NO HOLD
ROLE OPEN FOR ABSENT MEMBERS.
SENATOR WESSEL. I REMEMBER FIVE
SENATE BILL TWELVE FORTY SEVEN
PLEASE PROCEED IN READING THANK
YOU GOOD MORNING- MISTER
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE MEMBERS. OF
FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE TO JUST
CLARIFY THAT- ASKING FOR SEVEN
MINUTES ON THIS BILL AND THE
REASON WHY- WE'VE BEEN WORKING
ON THIS BILL FOR MANY MONTHS NOW
AND IT'S A COMPLICATED BILL AND
- INTRODUCING THE BILL HAS
REALLY HELPED TO GUIDE US IN
TERMS OF WHERE THE BILL NEEDS
TO- MOVE. AND SO- WE ARE MAKING
SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENTS TO THIS
BILL AND I WANT TO EXPLAIN KIND
OF THE REASONS WHY. BUT BEFORE
THAT I'D LIKE TO ASK THAT IN
TERMS OF THE BILL AND IT'S ON-
IT'S WRITTEN. I WOULD LIKE TO
FIRST. A STRIKE THE FIRST
PARAGRAPH IN ITS ENTIRETY. AND
THAT WOULD BE THE PERC GRAPH
CURRENTLY NUMBERED. ONE SEVEN
EIGHT TWO ZERO. AND EVERY NIGHT
READ NUMBER THE SECOND PARAGRAPH
CURRENTLY NUMBERED ONE SEVEN
EIGHT TWO ONE A AND B. TWO ONE
SEVEN EIGHT TWO ZERO A AND B.
NOW AGAIN THE PURPOSE OF THIS
LANGUAGE WITH THE AMENDED MATT
LANGUAGE. IS TO MAKE A CONTRACT
MORE EQUITABLE AND MORE
TRANSPARENT BETWEEN THE MAKER OF
THE CONTRACT IN THE SIGNER.
WHERE THE CONTRACT CONTAINS A
CLAUSE WHICH REQUIRES THE
SIGNER. TO ASSIGN AWAY ALL THEIR
RIGHTS TO REBATES. EMOTIONAL
PROGRAMS AND INCENTIVE INCOME AS
IT STATED IN THE FACT SHEET IF
YOU HAVE THAT AVAILABLE AND
LARGELY WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO DO
HERE YOU KNOW IT IS CALM TORE
ATTENTION THAT INSTEAD OF
CALIFORNIA WHEN THE RENT WITH
WITH IN REGARDS TO BUSINESSES
MAKING CONTRACTS SPECIFICALLY
FRANCHISES- WITH THEIR FRANCHISE
STORES OFTEN THERE IS A VERY-
UNCLEAR CLAUSES JUST A CLAUSE
THAT SAYS THAT YOU SIGN AWAY
YOUR RIGHTS. TO ANY- PROMOTIONAL
INCOME WITHOUT NECESSARILY
STATING HOW MUCH THAT IS AND
WHAT PERCENTAGE OF YOUR REVENUE
THAT IS AND WHEN YOU A SIGN AWAY
YOUR RIGHTS YOU ACTUALLY ASSIGN
AWAY ACTUALLY- PRODUCT PLACEMENT
RIGHTS- YOU- HE COULD YOU COULD
EVEN- SIGN AWAY IN TERMS OF-
WHAT AMOUNT OF YOUR BUSINESS
PLAN IS THAT DEDICATED TO A
SPECIFIC ENDEAVOR. WHEN THAT
HAPPENS GIVING YOU AN EXAMPLE
LET'S SAY ON VALENTINE'S DAY THE
FRANCHISE OR THE MAKER OF THE
CONTRACT AND SAY YOU HAVE TO
DISPLAY THIS PRODUCT IN THE MOST
PROMINENT LOCATION AND THAT
COULDN'T COULDN'T HAVE A HUGE
INFLUENCE AND HOW MUCH THAT
PRODUCT. IS MOVED WITH RESPECT
TO OTHERS. SO WHEN WE CAME TO.
THE UNDERSTANDING THAT A LOT OF
TIMES THESE- SIGNERS OF THESE
CONTRACTS SPEND A LOT OF TIME
MOVING PODUCTS THAT ARE NOT
SPECIFICALLY IN THEIR OWN
BUSINESS PLAN INTERESTS ARE
OFTEN WORKING. FOR THE MAKER OF
THE CONTRACT WHO MAKES QUITE A
BIT OF REVENUE FROM THE SPECIFIC
PRODUCTS WITHOUT EVER HAVING
DISCLOSED IN THE BEGINNING OF
THE CONTRACT PERIOD ALL WE'RE
ASKING IS THAT PROCESS BE
TRANSPARENT. THAT THE SIGN OF
THE CONTRACT UNDERSTAND THAT
HERE'S A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF
MONEY THAT IS- EXCHANGED THROUGH
THIS PROCESS WHEN THEY GIVE AWAY
THEIR RIGHTS THEY'RE GIVEN AWAY-
RIGHTS TO- IMPORTANT GAINS THAT
COULD HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR
BUSINESSES OFTEN TIMES IF YOU
CAN IMAGINE A STATE LIKE
CALIFORNIA. OFTEN TIMES- CERTAIN
. COMPANIES THAT ARE UNDER THE
UMBRELLA OF A FRANCHISE OFTEN
TIMES CAN DO BETTER IN SPECIFIC
PARTS OF THE STATE. THEN IN
OTHERS. AND THAT ALLOWS THEM TO
AT LEAST OPERATE UNDER. A
STRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS THEM TO
SURVIVE SO YOU KNOW OFTEN TIMES
THE CENTERS OF THESE CONTRACTS
ARE VERY SMALL- THESE ARE NEW-
BUSINESS PEOPLE THAT ARE OFTEN
INVESTING. THEIR THEIR LIFE
SAVINGS INTO A BUSINESS THAT IS
OFTEN TIED. TO A FRANCHISE-
ARRANGEMENT. SO THIS IS WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IN
THIS BILL MOVING FORWARD WE
EXPECT TO MAKE THE RIGHT
AMENDMENTS IN TERMS OF TO- GET
TO THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE. OF
DISCLOSURE IN THE CONTRACT
SIGNING PROCESS THOSE. REBATES
PROMOTIONS AND INCENTIVES-
OFTENTIMES ARE ARE A BIG PART OF
THIS CONTRACT YET THEY'RE
SILENT. THERE IS NO INFORMATION
EXCHANGE IN THE PRIMARY PART OF
THIS PROCESS TO ACCOUNT FOR.
WHAT IS A REALLY BIG PART OF THE
OF THE BUSINESS PLAN. SO THERE
THERE'S FEDERAL LAW THAT IS
GENERAL IN TERMS OF ADDRESSING
REVENUE. BUT UNDER UNDER- I
THINK AND I'M WHAT WE'RE
LEARNING OF THIS PROCESS IS THAT
MANY NEW STRATEGIES HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED TO. AVOID DISCLOSURE
INCLUDING A HIDING SOME OF THIS
REVENUE IN TERMS OF- IN IN
PROMOTIONS AND REBATES AND
INCENTIVES WHICH ARE WAY I WE
THINK AROUND FEDERAL LAW AND I
THINK CALIFORNIA. NEEDS TO STAND
UP FOR OUR OUR ALL THE SMALL
BUSINESS PERSON THAT- NEEDS TO
GO INTO THESE CONTRACTS
COMPLETELY AWARE. OF WHAT
THEY'RE SIGNING. ONE OF YOU KNOW
ONE LAST THING. THAT I'D LEFT.
AT LIKE TO ADD- JUST GENERALLY-
YOU KNOW. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS
A WORK IN PROGRESS AND I'M
ASKING THIS COMMITTEE TO KIND OF
WORK WITH ME AND I THINK THE MEN
MEN'S- THAT WE'RE PROPOSING AT
LEAST WILL MAKE THIS BILL A PAL
PALATABLE IT WILL REMOVE
OPPOSITION BUT WE ARE EXPECTING
OPPOSITION IN THE FUTURE I
THINK. THAT IT'S FAIR TO SAY.
THAT THE COMPANIES THAT STAND TO
GAIN FROM THESE PROMOTIONS WILL
WILL DEFINITELY. HAVE AN
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT TO SHOW
THAT THEY THERE IS A CERTAIN
INCOME THIS NOT BEING DISCLOSED
IN THE CONTRACT I'M SURE I'M NOT
I DON'T KNOW THIS FOR CERTAIN
BUT- BUT- I KNOW IN THIS PROCESS
I KNOW THEY MIGHT COME OUT AND
PUT OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL SO
WANT FULL DISCLOSURE. TO KNOW
WHAT DIRECTION WE INTEND TO
MOVE- D. LAST THING I WANTED TO
MENTION THAT I THINK IS VERY
KEY. IMAGINE YOU ENTER INTO A
CONTRACT WITH A COMPANY THAT
SAYS YOU NEED TO BUY FROM THIS
BUS SUPPLIER UNDER OUR CONTRACT
. AND AS THE SIGNER TO THE
CONTRACT I'M COMPLETELY
OBLIGATED. FROM BUYING FROM THAT
SUPPLIER I DON'T HAVE A CHOICE
UNDER THAT AGREEMENT. I HAVE TO
ACTUALLY APPLY AND GET A CREDIT
APPROVAL AND GET APPROVED SO
THE- THE UMBRELLA CORPORATION A
MAKES ME SIGNS AGREEMENT DOESN'T
GIVE ME ANY PROTECTION FROM THE
SUPPLIER DOESN'T. GIVE ME ANY
CREDIT IT DOESN'T GIVE ME THE
YOU KNOW HELP ME SATISFY THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUPPLIER I
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS
SEPT SEPARATELY AS THE SIGNER TO
THE CONTRACT. AND ONCE I'VE DONE
THAT. THEY HAD THESE. DEALS THAT
THEY THESE BLANKET DEALS AT THE
DATE OF ENTRY INTO WITH ALL THE
SUPPLIERS. THAT GIVE THEM A
DIFFERENT YOU KNOW REBATES SO
WHATEVER PRICE I GET FROM THAT
SUPPLIER. THEY ARE GETTING A
PERCENTAGE IN THE FORM OF A
REBATE OR SOME INCENTIVE BECAUSE
THEY ARE CREATED. MARK MORE US
SALES AND ACTIVITY- I THINK-
THAT IS- WHAT FROM WHAT WE'VE
HEARD FROM A LOT OF SIGNERS THEY
WERE EVEN A VAGUE WHERE. THAT
THAT SITUATION EXISTED AT THE
TIME OF SOCKS SIGNING THE
CONTRACT AND I THINK THAT IS.
EXTREMELY UNFAIR IN THIS PROCESS
AND ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR IS
FAIRNESS WE WANT PEOPLE TO ENTER
INTO A CONTRACT. WITH A COMPLETE
KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S ON THE TABLE
WHEN THEY SIGNED A CONTRACT IN
THE DECIDE TO SIGN THAT CONTRACT
WITH PROVISIONS I THINK THAT. IS
THEIR DECISION BUT AT LEAST
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW WE WOULD
PROTECT THE SIGNER. WAS- YOU
KNOW INTEREST IN MAKING SURE
THAT HE IS OR SHE- OR THEY ARE
FULLY AWARE OF ALL THE-
PROVISIONS OF THE CONTRACT AND
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR- GIVEN THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT AMENDMENTS I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT. WE'RE
ALL CLEAR ALL MY COLLEAGUES HERE
IN THE CHAMBER. AND WHAT THE
PROPOSED AUTHOR AMENDMENT IS
THAT I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE
ACCEPTED. IT'S FAIRLY LIMITED
IT'S SET FORTH ON PAGE THREE OF
THE ANALYSIS. THE CURRENT
VERSION OF THE BILL REQUIRES
REPORTING TO FTP WHICH THE
AUTHOR IS PROPOSING TO REMOVE.
ON PAGE TWO STRIKE LINE SEVEN
THROUGH TWELVE INCLUSIVE
BEGINNING WITH THE WORDS ANY
MANUFACTURER. AND ENDING WITH
ENDING WITH THE WORDS OR OTHER
MONETARY INCENTIVE. TO THE

AMENDMENT THAT WAS. NOTICED TO

THE BILL A SEARCH- BOTH. ENDS
THE WHITE CLEAR FIVE SANDERSON
FROM THE ANALYSIS THAT THE FEES
WAS ONLY WOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
AT THE ORDER OF A LICENSED
PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON WHO
HOPEFULLY WILL BE EVALUATING FOR
ANY CONTRA INDICATIONS AND NOT
ORDER IT IF THERE'S A
CONTRIBUTION AT THE TIME. IS
THAT CORRECT. I'M SORRY ONE MORE
TIME THOSE- SO ACCORDING TO THE
ANALYSIS IN THE BILL THAT THE
FEES PROCEDURE WOULD ONLY BE
PERFORMED ONLY UPON ORDERS OF A
LICENSED PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON.
SO AND THEREFORE HOPEFULLY THAT
LICENSED PHYSICIAN SURGEON WOULD
BE EVALUATING IF THERE'S ANY
CONTRIBUTIONS WERE PERFORMING
THE PROCEDURE FOR THAT
PARTICULAR PATIENT. AND I WILL
LET MY WITNESSES ANSWER THE
QUESTION FOR YOU THANK YOU.
HELLO THERE SO MY RESPONSE TO
THAT WOULD BE THAT WE WORK
COLLABORATIVELY AS A TEAM SO- I
ALSO WOULD MAKE SURE THAT THE
PATIENT WAS APPROPRIATE IN
RECOMMENDING REQUESTING THE TASK
TO GET AN ORDER FROM THE
POSITION- IF THAT PATIENT HAD
ANY- CONTRA INDICATIONS WE WOULD
NOT DO THAT TASK WE WOULD MAYBE
DO A DIFFERENT TACT OR WAIT.
TILL A DIFFERENT TIME- SO WE
WORK COLLABORATIVELY TO MAKE
THAT DECISION. OKAY BUT JUST TO
CLARIFY ACCORDING TO THE
ANALYSIS THE BILL SAYS THAT
PROCEDURE. IS ONLY GONNA BE
DONE. ONLY UPON ORDERS OF A
LICENSED PHYSICIAN SURGEON YES.
OKAY THAT'S I JUST WANT TO
CLARIFY BECAUSE I THINK THAT
HELPS ALSO ADDRESSED THE
CONTRIBUTION ISSUE THAT WAS
RAISED AND ANALYSIS AS WELL
BECAUSE- WELL CERTAINLY I THINK
THE SPEECH LANGUAGE- JUST- OF
COURSE ALSO EXERCISE THEIR OWN
PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT EVALUATING
APPROPRIATE MESSAGING PROCEDURE
AT THE TIME SO WOULD. THROUGH
THE ORDER THE POSITION ALSO TAKE
SOME RESPONSIBILITY BEING SURE
THEY'LL HAVE A CONDITION THAT
PREVENTS THE SAFE. PERFORMANCE
OF THAT PROCEDURE. THANK YOU.

THE ROPE OF REPS AND MEMBERS. SO
LET'S MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER THREE
SENATE BILL TEN THIRTY ONE
HEALING ARTS BOARDS. THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN VERS I AM PLEASED TO
PRESENT SENATE BILL TEN THIRTY
ONE S. B. TEN THIRTY ONE
REQUIRES HEALING ART BOARDS
UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER
AFFAIRS TO REDUCE THE RENEWAL
FEE FOR INACTIVE LICENSES TO NO
MORE THAN HALF OF THE FEE FOR
RENEWAL. OF AN ACTIVE LICENSE
LICENSE PROFESSIONALS WHO
RECEIVE THEIR LICENSE YOU'RE
FROM A BOARD UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS
MAY CHOOSE TO TEMPORARILY PAUSE
THEIR PRACTICE AND APPLY FOR AN
ACTIVE LICENSE AT THE TIME FOR
RENEWAL WHILE ON INACTIVE STATUS
A LICENSEE IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN
THEIR LICENSE WITHOUT BEING ABLE
TO PRACTICE THEIR PROFESSION.
AND WITHOUT HAVING TO MEET
LICENSE RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS
INCLUDING CONTINUATION EDUCATION
COURSES. DESPITE THE REDUCED
NEED FOR THE LICENSEES
DESIGNATED BOARD TO PROVIDE
OVERSIGHT OVER THEIR WORK THE
RENEWAL FEE ASSESSED ON AN
INACTIVE LICENSE IS TYPICALLY
THE SAME RATE AS THE FEE
ASSESSED ON AN ACTIVE LICENSE E.
WE THE WORSENING. SHORTAGE AMONG
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ESPECIALLY
DUE TO THE COPA NINETEEN
PANDEMIC IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE
STATE PROVIDE. FINANCIAL
FLEXIBILITY FOR WORKERS WHO
CHOOSE TO TAKE A TEMPORARY PAUSE
ON THEIR PROFESSION. ON AN
INACTIVE LICENSE PROVIDES FOR
LONG TERM FLEXIBILITY AND ALLOWS
WORKERS TO USE THE HIATUS FOR A
MULTITUDE OF REASONS INCLUDING
RECOVERING FROM BURNOUT STARTING
A FAMILY OR TAKING CARE OF A
LOVED ONE WITH A LONG TERM
HEALTH ISSUES. ALTHOUGH INACTIVE
STATUS PROVIDES FOR FLEXIBILITY
LOGISTICALLY IF RENEWAL FEES ARE
NOT REDUCED AS COMPARED TO AN
ACTIVE STATUS LICENSE IT MAY
HINDER WORKERS FROM BEING ABLE
TO MAKE THE FINANCIAL DECISION
TO GO ON INACTIVE STATUS.
MOREOVER MAINTAINING AN INACTIVE
LICENSE MAKES FOR A MUCH EASIER
TRANSITION BACK TO ACTIVE
LICENSE STATUS AS COMPARED TO A
LICENSED PHYSICIAN TRANSITIONING
THEIR LICENSE FROM DELINQUENT OR
RETIRED STATUS. BY REQUIRING THE
RENEWAL FEE FOR AN ACTIVE
LICENSE TO BE NO MORE THAN HALF
THE AMOUNT OF THE FEE FOR
RENEWAL OF AN ACTIVE LICENSE FOR
HEALING ART BOARDS. S. B. TEN
THIRTY ONE WILL PROVIDE
HEALTHCARE LICENSEES WITH
FINANCIAL RELIEF AND
FLEXIBILITY. IT WILL ALSO
INCENTIVIZE INDIVIDUALS WHO
CHOOSE TO TAKE A TEMPORARY PAUSE
ON THEIR PROFESSION TO GO ON
INACTIVE STATUS RATHER THAN
DELINQUENT ALL RETIRED. WITH THE
ON GOING HEALTH CARE LABOR
SHORTAGE THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A
MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO ENSURE
THAT THESE PROFESSIONALS DO NOT
CHOOSE TO GO ON DELINQUENT OR
RETIRED STATUS RATHER THAN
INACTIVE STATUS SIMPLY BECAUSE
OF THE COST. I HAVE WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT LINDSEY COLOR

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION

APPROXIMATELY TWENTY THOUSAND
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY CALIPH AT
CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA WE ARE
PLEASED TO BE IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF SB TEN THIRTY ONE BECAUSE IT
WILL REDUCE COSTS FOR HEALING
ARTS LICENSEES- AND MAKE IT
EASIER FOR PRACTITIONERS TO RE
ENTER THEIR PROFESSION WHEN AND
IF THEY CHOOSE TO DO SO.
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS
OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY ASSISTANTS
WHICH ARE REGULATED BY THE BOARD
OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY. MAY
CONSIDER OR CHOOSE TO APPLY FOR
AN ACT OF LICENSE FOR ANY NUMBER
OF REASONS. AND THE NAME OF THE
STATE WITH PLANS TO RETURN TO
CALIFORNIA. OR THEY MAY SUSPEND
THEIR LICENSE TO CARE FOR A
FAMILY MEMBER- OR JUST TAKE A
BREAK FROM THE PROFESSION.
HAVING THE OPTION TO MAINTAIN OF
A LICENSEE IN ACTIVE STATUS IS
INVALUABLE FOR THESE LICENSEES.
AND NECESSARY FOR OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM. AS THE STATE IS IN
THE MIDST OF A WORKFORCE
SHORTAGE- BECAUSE RESUMING
PRACTICE FROM AN ACTIVE LICENSE
IT'S EASIER THAN TRYING TO RE
ENTER THE PROFESSION OF A
LICENSE AS WELL. LAST M. SO
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE CURRENT
AUTHORIZATION A LOT TO ALLOW FOR
AN ACTIVE LICENSES WE ALSO
RECOGNIZE RECENT STATUTORY
CHANGES. THAT ALLOW HEALING ARTS
BOARDS TO CHARGE LESS FOR AN ACT
OF LICENSE FEES. AND WE DO
BELIEVE AS THE TEN THIRTY ONE
TAKES THIS A STEP FURTHER AND IS
NECESSARY IMPROVES ON EXISTING
LAW. BY CAPTAIN CAPPING THE AN
ACTIVE LICENSE YET 50% OF THE
ACTIVE LICENSE B. I'M JUST FOR
O. T. PRACTITIONER'S LICENSE
FEES HAVE INCREASED MULTIPLE
TIMES IN RECENT YEARS. MOST
RECENT INCREASES JUST LAST YEAR
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE. AND PAIN
EXISTING LICENSE FEES. M. IS
ALREADY A FINANCIAL BURDEN FOR
MANY O. T. PRACTITIONERS AND
OTHER HEALING ARTS PROVIDERS. TO
ENSURING THAT THE AN ACT OF
LICENSE BECAUSE LESS THAN THE
ACTIVE LICENSE RENEWAL FEE WILL
HELP RENEW RENEW AT EASE THIS
ECONOMIC HARDSHIP FOR LICENSEES.
AND FOR THESE REASONS WE ARE
PLEASED TO SUPPORT SB TEN THIRTY
ONE ENERGY DRIVE AND I'D ALSO
LIKE TO NOTE THAT I REPRESENT
THE CALIFORNIA RETAILERS
ASSOCIATION. WE'RE ALSO IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL THANK YOU.

FOLLOWED BY ZERO PLEASE. WE HAVE
NO LINES IN Q. THANK YOU MR
MODERATOR LET'S BRING THE
DISCUSSION BACK TO MY COLLEAGUES
IN THE CHAMBER OF SIR EDMUND.
THANK YOU ANNA THANK YOU TO THE
CENTER FOR BRING THIS FORTNIGHT.
SINCE CENTER SITS ON THIS
COMMITTEE AND THIS- THIS
PERFUSED GENERALLY DONE UNDER
THE SUNSET REVIEW PROCESS I'M
WONDERING WHY DO A BILL VERSUS
JUST LOOKING AT THIS IN THE
SENSE THAT PROCESS. BECAUSE WE
DON'T KNOW BUT WE WOULDN'T WANT
ANY AM ANYMORE TO TAKE A BIG HIT
AS WE KNOW THE LICENSE FEES
PAYS. FOR THE OVERSIGHT. I'M NOT
THE EXPERT EXCELLENT QUESTION I
THINK THE REASON WE'RE PUTTING
THIS FOURTH RIGHT NOW IS BECAUSE
OF THE URGENCY OF IT WERE JUST
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT IT GOES
THROUGH IN AND- MORE EFFICIENT
AND- AND- WAY- SPEEDIER WAY I
SHOULD SAY- AND I THINK THE
REASON FOR IT RIGHT NOW. THE
REASON WE'RE MOVING IT THROGH
IS BECAUSE THERE'S SUCH A NEED
RIGHT NOW WITH- THE
CONVERSATIONS WE'VE BEEN HAVING
ACROSS THE FIELD WITH THE
HEALING HEARTS. WITH PEOPLE
BEING BURNT OUT IN BEING- JUST.
JUST OVERWHELMED THERE WE
THOUGHT WHAT A GREAT WAY TO HELP
THOSE THAT ARE IN NEED RIGHT
NOW- IN OUR HEALTH CARE WORKERS
TO BE SURE TO HAVE THE TIME.
INSTEAD OF. COMPLETELY
RELINQUISHING THEIR ABILITY TO
CONTINUE THEIR WORK ARE YOU
GIVING UP ON THEIR PROFESSION TO
ACTUALLY GIVING THEM A BREAK- AT
THIS TIME. THE DECISION PROVIDE
EXTRA BREAK IT JUST PROVIDES A
REDUCTION OF COST POTENTIALLY.
EITHER AN ACTIVE FEES YES IS
THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING I'M
SORRY SENATOR EDMUND I GUESS I
WAS ASKING. BUT I AND I
UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION OKAY
YOUR POSITION THANK YOU. HOW IS
ANY OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS. SEEING NONE OF CENTER
TO- DOCTRINE PLEASE THANK YOU
SEARCH ABOVE. EIGHT- I THINK YOU
KNOW THERE ARE CONCERNS RAISED
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BOARDS
BUT I ALSO HEAR WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO DO N. COURSES DURING
OUR SUNSET REVIEW ONE OF THINGS
WE DO LOOK AT WE LOOK AT THE
VARIOUS BUDGETS OF THE BOARDS
INCLUDING HOW MUCH THEY SPEND ON
ENFORCEMENT RIGHT- SO- I THINK
IT'S- I THINK THE BILLS WORTH.
LOOKING AT I GUESS THE QUESTION
IS THAT THE 50% SHOULD SHOULD
REALLY BE PERHAPS MORE ADJUSTED
FOR THE FACT THAT. YOU MADE THE
BOARD SAID THEY HAVE TO STILL
SPEND OF COURSE MONEY FOR
CERTIFICATION AND SO FORTH THAT
WE WOULD WANT TO LEAVE THAT.
AMOUNT INTACT BUT SAY THAT WELL
SINCE YOU'RE AN ACTIVE. THE
ENFORCEMENT PARTS- WHICH THINGS
WHICH ARE USING SOCIAL PRACTICE.
AT THAT EXPENSE WOULD BE
REDUCTIONS SINCE THAT WOULD NOT
BE THE BURDEN ON THE POOR
FACILITIES AN ACTIVE- TO THAT
DEGREE. IS THAT SOMETHING YOU
MIGHT BE OPEN TO LOOKING AT WE
WILL BE OPEN TO LOOKING AT THE
FEE WE LOOKED AT 50% JUST
BECAUSE WE THOUGHT THAT WOULD
BE. A CONSERVATIVE. JUST THE
HALFWAY POINT AS TO THE COST
SINCE THERE'S NOT. ACTIVELY
ENGAGED IN DOING AND ANY
OVERSIGHT. WITH THE WITH THE
INACTIVE FEES IN COMPARISON TO
SOMEBODY THAT IS ACTUALLY
ACTIVE. THAT'S WHAT WE CAME UP
WITH THE FIFTY WE JUST THOUGHT
IT WAS A NICE COMPROMISE MID
MIDWAY. SAY WASN'T. FULLY THE
FUNDING D. E. S. THE BOARD. BUT
ACTUALLY GIVE THEM SOMEWHAT OF A
FEAT AND ALSO GIVING US A BIT OF
A- A BREAK TO OUR OUR- THANK YOU
. THANK YOU SENATOR PAN ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS. SIR I WILL SAY THIS I
DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE
AN INACTIVE STATUS WHEN YOU HAVE
A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL OR
SOMEBODY IN AN OCCUPATION SO
THAT THEY CAN. TAKE A BREAK OR
DO SOMETHING ELSE WITHOUT.
FORFEITING OR RELINQUISHING
THEIR LICENSE AND THEN HAVING TO
START THE PROCESS ALL OVER AGAIN
WHETHER IT'S TAKING OF THE
MEDICAL BOARD EXAMS OR TAKING A
LOOK OF STATE BAR EXAM OR AN
ACCOUNTANCY BATTERY OF
ACCOUNTANCY EXAMS I ALSO THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT IF YOU HAVE AN
ACTIVE STATUS TO SET THE FEES.
UP PROPERLY AND I SUSPECT IT'S
NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL SO I
WOULD JOIN- MY COLLEAGUE SENATOR
PAN AND ASKING YOU TO TAKE A-
CLOSER LOOK AT THIS SHOULD THIS
BILL MOVED OUT OF THE COMMITTEE
TODAY- HI I HAVE TO ALSO SAY I
WAS. SINGULARLY UNIMPRESSED.
WITH THE BOARD OR BOARDS THAT
SAY THEY HAVE TO CHARGE THE
INACTIVE. LICENSEE THE SAME FEE
AS AN INDIVIDUAL WITH AN ACTIVE
LICENSE SINCE IN ACTIVE STATUS
MEANS YOU ARE NOT USING YOUR
LICENSE. HENCE THE ENFORCEMENT
ACTIVITY. BY ITS VERY NATURE
MUST BE. PRETTY LIMP LIMITED SO-
I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
YOU ON THIS AGAIN SHOULD MOVE
OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE TO TRY TO.
TO MAKE THIS A BIT MORE PERFECT
TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE'S
ANYTHING HERE WE DO THAT'S
PERFECT. WE HAVE A MOTION ON
SENATE BILL TEN THIRTY ONE'S

GOOD MORNING MEMBERS. I THIS IS
A BIPARTISAN BILL AND IT WOULD
ESTABLISH A DEDICATED HUB WITHIN
COPE IS TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR
EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP. ASSIST ALL
TYPES OF BUSINESS OWNERS IN
NAVIGATING RESOURCES FUNDING FOR
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FEASIBILITY
STUDIES OR DISPARAGE THE
EXISTING BUSINESS STARTUP IN
TRANSITION PROCESS EMPLOYEE
OWNED BUSINESSES COMMONLY FORMED
AS HE STOPS EMPLOYEE STOCK

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THEY
GENERATE MORE JOBS PER YEAR THAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTED
ABSOLUTELY OWNERSHIP IN THE LAY
PEOPLE OFF AT FAR LOWER RATES
AFFECT EMPLOYER BUSINESSES WERE
FOUR TIMES AS LIKELY TO RETAIN
EMPLOYEES DURING THEIR- THIS IS
THE WORST OF THIS RECENT
PANDEMIC. AS IN OTHER
RECESSIONS. THE RIGHT QUALITY
JOBS A VOICE IN THE WORKPLACE
AND FOR EACH STOPS ROUGHLY THREE
TIMES THE RETIREMENT ASSETS. AS
COMPARED TO A NON STOP COMPANIES
. THESE BENEFITS ARE PROVIDED
FOR MORE EQUITABLY IN TERMS OF
RACE GENDER ECONOMIC STATUS-
THAN OTHER. PLANS UNFORTUNATELY
FEW ADVISORS LENDERS STATE AND
LOCAL AGENCIES AND BUSINESS
OWNERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE
TOPIC. EVEN PRESIDENT REAGAN IN
THE EIGHTIES SAID EMPLOYEE
OWNERSHIP IS THE FUTURE OF FREE
PEOPLE. BUT OUR SMALL BUSINESSES
FACE INTO A CRISIS BOTH THE
LINGERING EFFECTS OF THE
SHUTDOWN AND THE SILVER TSUNAMI
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT. THE DEBATE
THESE ARE BABY BUSINESS SRGB
BOOMER BUSINESS OWNERS WER AT
OR NEAR RETIREMENT AGE WHO OWN
MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND BUSINESSES IN
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYING ALMOST FOUR
MILLION PEOPLE. A SHOCKING 85%
OF BUSINESS OWNERS DO NOT HAVE
SUCCESSION PLANS MANY MANY
COMPANIES MAKE CLOSE OR SELL A
NON LOCAL BUYERS. WHO ALSO COULD
RELOCATE AND CUT JOBS. WE TAKE A
BEST PRACTICES FROM OTHER STATES
THAT HAVE DONE THIS COLORADO FOR
EXAMPLE HAS RECENTLY CREATED. AN
OFFICE OF EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP.
AND SOME CITIES HAVE DONE A
GREAT JOB. A COALITION OF
SUPPORT INCLUDING DOZENS OF

PLEASE PROCEED GOOD AFTERNOON
SHERRIN MEMBERS MY NAME IS
REQUESTED HELLO I'M THE DEPUTY
DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AT S. C. I.
U. U. H. W. WEST HERE IN SUPPORT
OF SB FOURTEEN OH SEVEN S. CI U.
U. H. W. IS A LABOR UNION OF
MORE THAN A HUNDRED THOUSAND
CALIFORNIA HEALTH CARE WORKERS
PATIENTS AND HEALTH CARE
CONSUMERS. OUR MEMBERS ARE
FRONTLINE CAREGIVERS INCLUDING
RESPIRATORY CARE PRACTITIONERS
DIETARY ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES
AND NURSING STAFF WHO AIM TO
IMPROVE THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
BY PROVIDING QUALITY CARE FOR
ALL PATIENTS EXPANDING ACCESS TO
EXCELLENT AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE
FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS AND
IMPROVING LIVING STANDARDS FOR
ALL WORKERS. WE'RE VERY PROUD
MEMBER OF THE WORKER OWN
RECOVERY CALIFORNIA COALITION
ONE OF THE CO SPONSORS OF THIS
MEASURE. THE COALITION IS
COMPRISED OF STATE AND NATIONAL
EXPERTS ON WORKER OWNERSHIP.
WORKER OWNED BUSINESSES AND
ORGANIZED LABOR. WE CAME
TOGETHER IN EARLY TWENTY TWENTY
KNOWING THE EXISTING PRESSURES
FROM THE SILVER TSUNAMI OF BABY
BOOMER BUSINESS OWNERS. WHO ARE
AT OR NEAR RETIREMENT AGE WOULD
ONLY BE FURTHER COMPOUNDED DUE
TO THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE
COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC. EVEN
BEFORE COVERT THERE WERE NEARLY
THREE HUNDRED SIXTY THOUSAND
BUSINESSES AT RISK OF CLOSURE IN
CALIFORNIA. BECAUSE THE OWNER IS
NEARING RETIREMENT AND LACKS A
SUCCESSION PLAN. THESE ARE NOT
BUSINESSES CLOSING DUE TO UNDER
PERFORMANCE. MANY OF THESE
COMPANIES WILL CLOSE ALL
TOGETHER OR SELL TO NON LOCAL
BUYERS WHO ARE LIKELY TO
RELOCATE OR CUT JOBS. THIS WOULD
HAVE A DETRIMENTAL IMPACT BY
ELIMINATING JOBS THAT WORKERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES DEPEND ON.
ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY REMOVING FROM
LOCAL COMMUNITIES BUSINESSES
THAT PROVIDE POOR SERVICES AND
CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY
. WORKER OWNED BUSINESSES HAVE
PROVEN TO BE RESILIENT BUSINESS
MODELS THAT PROVIDE BETTER PAY
AND BENEFITS. ASSET BUILDING
THROUGH PROFIT SHARING
RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND SHARED
BUSINESS OWNERSHIP ENHANCED JOB
SECURITY STABILITY AND WELLBEING
FOR WORKERS. DURING THE GREAT
RECESSION OF TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
IN THE RECENT PANDEMIC WORKER
OWNED BUSINESSES WERE LESS
LIKELY TO LAY OFF WORKERS AND
WERE ABLE TO RECOVER MORE
QUICKLY THAN THEIR TRADITIONAL
BUSINESS COUNTERPARTS. WE SEE
THESE MODELS ESPECIALLY
COOPERATIVES AS INCREDIBLE
PATHWAYS TO HELPING CREATE A
MORE EQUITABLE ECONOMY. AND
STRENGTHEN WORKER VOICE
ESPECIALLY FOR UNDERPAID WORKERS
AND PEOPLE OF COLOR. SB FORTINO
SEVEN ESTABLISHES THE NECESSARY
FRAMEWORK TO HELP EXPAND WORKER
OWNERSHIP. AND FURTHER THE
STATE'S EFFORTS TO PROACTIVELY
RETAIN BUSINESSES AND SUPPORT
THE FUTURES OF WORKING PEOPLE.
MOST GOVERNMENT SERVICES ARE
DESIGNED EITHER TO SERVE A
BUSINESS OWNER OR ENTREPRENEUR
OR WORKERS. HAVING A CENTRALIZED
HUB WITHIN THE STATE GOVERNMENT
CAN BRING SAT TOGETHER THESE
PARADIGMS. GOVERNMENT SUPPORT
FOR WORKER OWNERSHIP ISN'T NOVEL
THE FEDERAL MAINSTREET EMPLOYEE
OWNERSHIP ACT WAS ENACTED IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN. MANDATING THE
SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
SUPPORT WORKER OWNERSHIP.
PROMPTING NEW AND CONTINUED
SUPPORT IN A NUMBER OF STATES
INCLUDING LOCAL JURISDICTIONS IN
CALIFORNIA. MAKING ORDERS OUT OF
EMPLOYEES FITS THE
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT OF
CALIFORNIA THE WORKER CENTERED
VISION OF ORGANIZED LABOR. AND
BUILD A MORE INCLUSIVE ECONOMY
FIT FOR THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY. WE RESPECTFULLY URGE- I
VOTE THANK YOU THANK YOU. NEXT
PLEASE. GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS I'M HILLARY A BELL CO
FOUNDER AND CHIEF POLICY AND
IMPACT OFFICER PROJECT EQUITY.
WE ARE A NATIONAL NONPROFIT
BASED IN OAKLAND WITH A MISSION
TO INCREASE ECONOMIC RESILIENCY
IN LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES
THROUGH EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP. OUR
WORK INCLUDES EDUCATING BUSINESS
OWNERS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS
PARTNERING WITH DIVERSE
STAKEHOLDERS AND PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASISTANCE TO HELP
SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES TRANSITION
TO EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP INCLUDING
BUILDING THE CAPACITY OF THE NEW
EMPLOYEE OWNERS. WE ARE PROUD CO
SPONSORED SB FORTINO SEVEN.
DURING MY TWENTY YEARS IN THIS
FIELD I'VE SEEN EMPLOYEE
OWNERSHIP CREATE TRANSFORMATIVE
BENEFITS FOR SOME OF
CALIFORNIA'S MOST DISADVANTAGED
AND ESSENTIAL WORKERS. FOR
EXAMPLE SERRA VEGAS IS A SINGLE
MOM IN UNION CITY WHO BECAME A
CO OWNER OF THE BAKERY WHERE SHE
WORKS. HER FIRST PROFIT SCHERING
CHECK INCREASED HER ANNUAL
EARNINGS BY MORE THAN 20% AND
BECAME THE FIRST MISTAKE THAT
SHE AND HER SON EVER HAD. ALMOST
FOUR MILLION CALIFORNIANS LIKE
SERRA WORKING COMPANIES THERE
THAT ARE AT RISK SIMPLY BECAUSE
THEIR OWNER IS AT RETIREMENT
AGE. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT MANY
BUSINESS OWNERS ALREADY KNOW
ABOUT AIR WHO CAN CARRY ON THEIR
LEGACY AND KEEP JOBS IN PLACE.
THEIR OWN EMPLOYEES. I CAN TELL
YOU DOZENS OF SUCCESS STORIES OF
CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES LIKE
SERRA'S THAT WILL THRIVE FOR
YEARS TO COME BECAUSE THEY ARE
NOW EMPLOYEE OWNED. BUT WE NEED
THOUSANDS OF THESE STORIES NOT
DOZENS. I URGE THE STATE TO
INVEST IN SCALING THIS WELL
PROVEN BUT UNDER UTILIZED
APPROACH TO ECONOMIC INCLUSION
AND COMPETITIVENESS. I'VE
AUTHORED MANY REPORTS ON THE
TOPIC INCLUDING THE CASE FOR
EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP WHICH
COMPILES DECADES OF RESEARCH ON
ITS BENEFITS. BOTH IN WORKER
COOPERATIVES AND COMPANIES THAT
ARE MAJORITY OWNED BY EAST TOPS.
SENATOR BECKER SPOKE VERY WELL
TO THOSE MANY BENEFITS SO I
WON'T REPEAT THEM- SEVEN
CALIFORNIA CITIES AND COUNTIES
IN SEVERAL STATES HAVE
RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE OF
BUSINESS RETENTION AND THE VALUE
OF EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP. AND HAVE
DEPLOYED THE STRATEGIES WE ARE
ASKING THE STATE TO SCALE UP
THROUGH SP FORTINO SEVEN.
FUNDING EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP
EDUCATION AND SUBSIDIZING
FEASIBILITY STUDY ASSESSMENTS.
S. B. FORTINO SEVEN ALSO MAKE
CALIFORNIA A NATIONAL LEADER IN
THE FIELD OF EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP
BY TAKING THE ESSENTIAL STEP OF
CREATING A CENTRAL HUB WITHIN
GOLD IS. TO STREAMLINE EFFORTS
ACROSS MULTIPLE AGENCIES AND
CREATE SUSTAINABLE AND EFFECTIVE
PROGRAM WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE OR
