MERRILEES ON THE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE STAFF- TODAY I'M HERE
WITH SENATOR EGGMAN AND I HAVE
THE PLEASURE OF PRESENTING SB
THIRTEEN THIRTY EIGHT WHICH
CREATES THE COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE
RECOVERY EMPOWERMENT. KNOWN AS
CARE PROGRAM. CARE COURT IS A
PROPOSED FRAMEWORK SPONSORED BY
GOVERNOR NEWSOM TO DELIVER
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO
THE MOST SEVERELY IMPAIRED
CALIFORNIANS- THERE ARE
THOUSANDS OF CALIFORNIANS WHO
ARE LANGUISHING. HOMELESS OR
INCARCERATED AND THIS IMPACTS
FAMILIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THE CYCLE OF
INCARCERATION SEVENTY TWO HOUR
HOLD HOMELESSNESS FAMILIES
LOOKING FOR LOVED ONES AND CAN'T
FIND THEM IS A FLICKED IT SO
MANY CALIFORNIA INCLUDING MY OWN
FAMILY- THIS PROGRAM IS A
RESPONSE TO THE URGENT NEED FOR
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE SUFFERING
WITH UNTREATED SCHIZOPHRENIA.
SPECTRUM IN PSYCHOTICDISORDERS
OFTEN ON HOUSE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES IN A BASE HIGH RISKS
FOR REPEATED HOSPITALIZATION
REPEAT INCARCERATION
INSTITUTIONALIZATION MENTAL
HEALTH CONSERVATORSHIP AND-
PREMATURE DEATH. COMPREHENSIVE
CARE MEDICATION AND HOUSING HAVE
BEEN CLINICALLY PROVEN TO
SUCCESSFULLY TREAT AND STABILIZE
INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE MENTAL
ILLNESS. BUT ARE OFTEN
UNAVAILABLE THESE SERVICES ARE
OFTEN UNAVAILABLE AFTER ARRESTS
OR IN SECURE FACILITIES
THEREFORE SB THIRTEEN THIRTY
EIGHT WILL CREATE A PROGRAM TO
CONNECT A PERSON IN CRISIS WITH
A COURT ORDERED CARE PLAN FOR UP
TO TWELVE MONTHS. WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF EXTENDING THAT
PLAN FOR AN ADDITIONAL TWELVE
MONTHS THE PROGRAM PROVIDES
INDIVIDUALS WITH A CLINICALLY
APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY BASED SET
OF SERVICES AND SUPPORTS FOR
CULTURALLY AND LINGUISTICALLY
COMPETENT THIS INCLUDES SHORT
TERM STABILIZATION MEDICATION
WELLNESS RECOVERY SUPPORT. AND
CONNECTIONS SOCIAL SERVICES
INCLUDING HOUSING AND SUPPORT
UNDERLYING INCLUDING HOUSING ONE
OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE
IN TERMS OF GETTING PEOPLE
STABLE AND WELL AS PROVIDING
HOUSING AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THAT AS THIS BILL
PROGRESSES I HOPE. THE
LEGISLATURE. OUR CONCERN STATE
ANNOUNCES IMPORTANT AND WE WANT
TO HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU AS THIS
BILL MOVES FORWARD. I WANNA MAKE
IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT THE CARE COURT
CONCEPT IS NOT. IT IS NOT
CONSERVATIVE SHIP THERE IS NO
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE DECISION
MAKER- FOR THAT PERSON WHO MAY
BE- ILL CARE COURT DOES NOT
CREATE A PATH TO REST KERR COURT
IS A- IS IN. A CIVIL COURT IS
NOT A CRIMINAL COURT IT DOES NOT
ALLOW FOR FORCED INVOLUNTARY
MEDICATION. CARE COURT
PARTICIPANTS CANNOT BE FORCED TO
PARTICIPATE. LAW ENFORCEMENT
WILL NOT ARREST THEM IF THEY DO
NOT COME TO COURT CARE COURT
DOES NOT INVOLVE SECURITY
FACILITIES. FINALLY CARE COURT
DOES NOT TAKE AWAY RIGHTS. DUE
PROCESS IS PROTECTED SELF
pIT DOES DO IS OFFERS HOPE. AND A
PATH TO A BETTER LIFE FOR
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIANS AND THEIR FAMILIES-
AS I MENTIONED AT THE OUTSET I'M
PROUD TO BE HERE WITH UP. THE
SENATE. JOINT AUTHORS SENATORS
EGGMAN- SEN REGNANT IS GOING TO-
SAY A FEW WORDS AND THEN WE HAVE
AS WITNESSES- DR MARK GALLI WHO
IS PRESENT HERE IN THE HEARING
ROOM- JUDGE STEVE MANLEY SPEAR
COURT JUDGE IN SANTA CLARA. WHO
I BELIEVE WILL BE PARTICIPATING
BY- TELEPHONICALLY. IN UDAY CUP
POOR PRESIDENT OF NAMI- SANTA
CLARA- CENTER EGGMAN. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AN ARMORED- THANK YOU
ALL FOR TAKING SOME TIME HERE
THIS TODAY. AN INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT I THINK PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT HOPEFULLY IS
GONNA BE ANOTHER TOOL IN OUR
TOOLBOX AND BEING ABLE TO HELP
THOSE WHO MOST DESPERATELY NEED
OUR HELP- WE KNOW THAT I'M-
LOOKING AT. THESE LAST TWO YEARS
COMING OUT THE PANDEMIC THE
PROBLEMS WE HAD BEFORE EXIST AND
EVEN MORE HEIGHTENED LEVEL AND
RIGHTLY SO I THINK THE PUBLIC IS
SAYING WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT
THIS WE CONTINUE TO TRY- DEPOSIT
WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US AND I
HAVE BILLS IT'LL BE BEFORE THIS
COMMITTEE LATER. TO IMPROVE OUR
CURRENT SYSTEM. BUT WE NEED A
DIFFERENT ON RAMP THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE BEEN TRYING HAVE NOT
BEEN WORKING. INTO A TOTALITY-
THIS PLAN PUT FORWARD BY THE
GOVERNOR AND VERY PROUD TO
INTRODUCE WITH CENTER ON BURKE-
COMES OUT IN A DIFFERENT A
DIFFERENT WAY A WAY THAT IS MORE
ENGAGING ON THE UP FRONT. AWAY
THAT INVITES PEOPLE INTO THE
PROCESS IN A WAY THAT
COLLABORATIVELY MAKES A PLAN
THAT MUST INCLUDE HOUSING
STABILIZATION AND ALL THOSE
THINGS THAT WE THINK ARE
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT- MY ROLE IN
THE SENATE IS AS THE- BUDGET SUB
CHAIR ON HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES. IN SINCE I BEGAN THE
SENATE WE HAVE BEEN INVESTING
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO OUR
MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM INTO OUR
HOMELESSNESS SYSTEM. AND I'M NOT
SAYING AND THIS WILL IMPACT
HOMELESSNESS ON A BROAD SCALE
BUT THIS BILL I BELIEVE THIS
LEGISLATION IS CARE COURT WILL
HELP THOSE WHO ARE SICKEST AND
MOST DESPERATELY NEED OUR HELP
WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO SEND
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO A SYSTEM.
THAT IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE
NEEDS THAT WE SEE EVERY DAY ON
THE STREETS- WE'VE GOT TO DO
BETTER I THINK THE ONE THING
THAT WE KNOW IS THAT WE CANNOT
KEEP DOING THE SAME THING. AND
EXPECTING DIFFERENT OUTCOMES IT
JUST HAS NOT BEEN EFFECTIVE- AND
WE'D THIS THIS IS A PROGRAM.
THAT WILL BE WILL BE FUNDED I
DON'T THINK ANYBODY'S BE NO
DISPUTING IT WILL WILL BE FUNDED
IT WILL COST MORE. AND IT WILL
BE A DIFFERENT ON RAMP- THE
DEALS WITH A CHRONIC ISSUE
VERSUS COMING AT IT FROM AN
ACUTE. SYSTEM AS WE HAVE NOW- SO
WITH THAT AT THE SYSTEM STATUS
QUO IS NOT OKAY WE NEED TO DO
BETTER- AND I WILL URGE YOU ALL
IN SUPPORTING THIS CONCEPT AS WE
MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU- UP OUR
FIRST WITNESSES IS DOCTOR MARK
GALLI. GALLI ALL RIGHT I. AS IN
ROBERT INDICATED WE ARE MOVING
ON TO THOSE WISHING TESTIFIED

WOULD TAKE A POOR ON THE LINE
TEST FIND SUPPORT. DR MARK GALLI
IS HERE IN PERSON TO TESTIFY. I
ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
MEMBERS MAY HAVE. THANK YOU ARE
AND GOOD MORNING ALL MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE GOOD MORNING
SENATOR EGGMAN OF SENATOR UMBERG
THANK YOU FOR. PRESENTING OUT
THIS BILL. TODAY YESTERDAY CAN
BE AND I BELIEVE WILL BE A
HISTORIC TO THE STORK BEGINNING.
THE FIERCE SCRUTINIZING FACE OF
HISTORY WELL I HOPE JUDGE TODAY
IS A DAY WHERE CALIFORNIA MOVED
DEEPER DOWN A ROAD OF COMPASSION
AND CARE. VERSUS INSISTING ON
STAYING MIRED IN A STALE AND
DEADLY YES DEADLY CONVERSATION
ABOUT HAVING NOT ENOUGH OF THIS
WERE NOT ENOUGH OF THAT. THAT'S
OUR EXCUSE TO NOT SERVE THE MOST
SICK VULNERABLE AND SADLY
OVERLOOKED CALIFORNIANS. THE
CARE CORPORATE PUZZLE IS A
PARADIGM SHIFT IN MOVES BEYOND
THE NINETEEN SIXTIES- FRAMEWORK
OF LPS. BY RECOGNIZING AND
ADVANCES IN OUR UNDERSTANDING
AND TREATMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH
AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS.
IT'S THE PERSON AT THE CENTER IT
IS COMMUNITY BASED IT DOES NOT
DEPEND ON CONFINEMENT. THE
RECOGNIZES THE NEED TO COUPLE
TREATMENT IN SUPPORT WITH
COMMUNITY BASED HOUSING
SOLUTIONS IN ORDER TO HASTEN
RECOVERY. IT SEEKS TO EMPOWER
PARTICIPANTS DURING AND AFTER
EFFECTIVE TREATMENT AND PROMOTES
THEIR MEANT OVERALL MENTAL AND
SOCIAL STABILITY. IT FOCUSES ON
SUPPORTING AN INDIVIDUAL TO
REGAIN INSIGHT TO MAKE THEIR OWN
DECISIONS RATHER THAN HARDLY
WATCH IN INDIVIDUAL AND RAVEL IN
PLAIN SIGHT INTEL WE NOT THEM
FEEL LEGALLY COMFORTABLE
SUBSTITUTING THE DECISION MAKING
CAPACITY. WITH ADVANCES IN
TREATMENT MODELS THE NEW LONGER
ACTING ANTI PSYCHOTIC TREATMENTS
THE NOTION OF THE RIGHT CLINICAL
TEAM IN HOUSING PLAN INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE HISTORICALLY DIED ON
THE STREETS OR WALLING CARTS
RATED CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY
STABILIZED AND SUPPORTED IN
COMMUNITIES. CARE COURT AS
SENATOR ON BURKE SAID IS NOT FOR
EVERYONE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS OR WITH A MENTAL
ILLNESS BY FOCUSING ON A
NARROWER SET OF CONDITIONS THAT
ARE DEFINED BY IMPAIRMENT IN
INSIGHT AND JUDGMENT.
SCHIZOPHRENIA SPECTRUM WHEN
OTHER PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS THE
EVIDENCE THAT CARE COURT
INTERVENTIONS CAN HEAL AND
SUPPORT IS WELL DOCUMENTED. I
HAVE NOT ONLY SEEN THIS EVIDENCE
WITH MY OWN EYES I'VE BEEN A
PART OF TEAMS THAT HAVE
DEVELOPED AND STUDIED THESE
INTERVENTIONS FOR YEARS I HAVE
PHOTOS OF PARTICIPANTS ON FIELD
TRIPS TO A CONCERT OR THE BEACH
WHO JUST WEEKS EARLIER WERE
JAILED. AS A RALSTON'S ULTIMA
QUOTE CHARGE OFTEN A CHARGE OF
DESPERATION TO STAY WARM
NOURISHED OR SAY. WITHOUT THE
HEWING RECOVERY ORIENTED
ENVIRONMENT THEY FOUND THEIR WAY
INTO. BY CHANCE OR FORTUNE THEY
WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE SUFFERED
MORE GRAVELY AND DEEPLY WITH NO.
END IN SIGHT. WHERE HISTORICALLY
EITHER THE TREATMENT STAFF FOR
BEDS ARE SCARCE OR THE HOUSING
PLAN IS MISSING CARE COURT HOLDS
OUR PUBLIC SYSTEMS ACCOUNTABLE.
TO PRIORITIZE YES PRIORITIZE
DELIVERY OF THESE SERVICES
EFFECTIVELY TO THOSE WHO CAN
BENEFIT. CANACCORD SUIT SEEKS TO
SERVE A POPULATION THAT ISN'T AS
SOME SAY AT THE BACK OF THE LINE
WAITING FOR SERVICES I SAY
THEY'RE NOT IN THE LINE AT ALL.
THIS PER PROPOSAL NOT ONLY GETS
THEM IN THE LINE THE REQUIRES US
IN GOVERNMENT BROADLY SPEAKING.
TO PUT THEM TOWARDS THE FRONT.
WITH THE CLIENT CENTERED
APPROACH THE POSITIVE IMPACT
WILL NOT ONLY BE EXPERIENCED BY
INDIVIDUALS BUT BY THE
COMMUNITIES AT LARGE. BY
EMPHASIZING THE CREATION OF A
MENTAL HEALTH ADVANCE DIRECTIVE
BY AND FOR EACH CARE
PARTICIPANTS WHEN THEY ARE
STABLE AND POTENTIAL THE- TO
AVOID FUTURE EPISODES OF
PSYCHOSIS. AT IF THEY DO HAVE A
FUTURE EPISODE OF PSYCHOSIS I'M
NOT ALL THE GAINS ARE FULLY
UNRAVELED. ALTHOUGH HOMELESSNESS
HAS MANY FACES IN CALIFORNIA ONE
OF THE MOST TRAGIC YET TREATABLE
IS THAT EXPERIENCED BY THE
SICKEST OF THE SICK WHO OFTEN
NEED EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
SUPPORTS TO IDENTIFY THE ROAD TO
RECOVERY INSTABILITY. CARE COURT
WILL HELP THOUSANDS OF
CALIFORNIANS WE ESTIMATE
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN SEVEN TWELVE
THOUSAND CALIFORNIANS AND THE
COMMUNITIES THAT THEY LIVE IN
TODAY TO FIND THAT ROAD. I HAVE
OVER THE WEEKS SINCE THE
GOVERNOR'S ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE
CARE COURT FRAMEWORK HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF MEETING WITH AND
LEARNING FROM. WAS THIS PROPOSAL
THERE FEEDBACK HAS LED TO SOME
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THIS IN THE
PROPOSAL AND PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR EARLIER
ENGAGEMENT AND PARTNERSHIP TO
CREATE A PLAN WITH ALL THE
COMPONENTS ARE A AND DEEPER
ENGAGEMENT EARLY THIS SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT PERIOD WAS NOT THERE
IN THE INITIAL FRAMEWORK WE
HEARD AND LISTEN THIS FEEDBACK.
AND IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO ADD
IT AND THAT'S WHY IT WAS ADDED
IN TODAY'S MODEL USUALLY WELL
DOWNSTREAM AFTER YEARS OF
INDIVIDUALS LANGUISHING ON THE
STREETS HARDLY ENGAGED IN
SERVICES THE SAME VULNERABLE
INDIVIDUALS END UP IN OUR COURTS
IN OUR JAILS AND IN IN A
CONSERVATORSHIP PROCESS SEES WE
CAN DO BETTER IN CALIFORNIA WE
MUST DO BETTER LET ME CLOSE BY
ADDRESSING THE PROFOUND INEQUITY
CARE COURT ALSO SEEKS TO ADDRESS
ALBEIT IMPERFECTLY. WE HAVE
SYSTEMS THAT HAVE NEEDED DEEP
SEATED TRANSFORMATION IN ORDER
TO AMELIORATE THESE RACIAL AND
SOCIAL INEQUITIES OUR RESOLVE TO
REPAIR THE SYSTEMS MUST MOVE IN
PARALLEL BUT NOT IN CONFLICT
WITH OUR INSISTENCE TO IMPLEMENT
NEW SOLUTIONS NEW PROGRAMS TO DO
THE MOST BASIC THING WE ARE
CALLED IN GOVERNMENT TO DO SERVE
OUR MOST VULNERABLE I AM HERE
SLEEVES ROLLED UP YEARS CLEAR TO
CONTINUE IN THIS CONVERSATION.
THANKS FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF YOUR
TIME I'LL NOW TURN IT OVER TO
JUDGE STEVEN BAILEY FROM SANTA
CLARA THANK YOU AND THEN AND- TO
BE CONSISTENT- THAT- USED
APPROXIMATELY SIX MINUTES AND WE
HAVE- HONORABLE JUDGE- STEPHEN
MANLEY AND- WOULD DIE OUT A
COUPLE ORDER IF YOU COULD PLEASE
RESPECTIVELY LIMIT YOUR COMMENTS
TO TWO MINUTES EACH. FOR A TOTAL
OF FOUR THANK YOU. THANK YOU I
HAVE A PHD BUT NOW PROPHETIC
COUNTY UPS. TODAY ONLY FOR
MYSELF I DO NOT SPEAK OF THE
REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL. NOR THE
COURTS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
FAMILY- INDIVIDUALS IN THE COURT
SYSTEM. FOR OVER TWENTY FIVE
YEARS. THE CARE COURT PART THAT
THE ONE GROUP AT INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE MOST VULNERABLE IN OUR
SOCIETY. MANY OF WHOM LIVE AND
FILE THE STREETS WHEN THEY'RE
NOT IN JAIL. I SEE THIS EVERY
DAY THEY CONTINUE TO SUFFER
TRAUMA POVERTY AND
DISCRIMINATION AND STIGMA. THESE
INDIVIDUALS LIBERAL REALITY
CANNOT MAKE RATIONAL DECISIONS
THEY FOLLOWED BELIEVES DELUSIONS
A REALTOR BAM. UNFORTUNATELY
THAT LEADS TO A WIDE THE BLUES
FROM THE STREET TO THE HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY ROOMS AND LEAD TO JAIL
FOR A NEW OFFENSE. AND I. YOU
THEY CARS. ALL RESULTS IN MARCH
. AND LONGER AND LOWER LONGER
STAYS IN CONSTANT. WHAT IS MOST
TRAGIC MY VIEW IS THE FACT THAT
AS WE HAVE REDUCE THE GENERAL
POPULATIONS ARE JAILS DURING THE
PANDEMIC. THE NUMBER AND
PROPORTION OF MENTALLY ILL
INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE FOR PARTICIPATION IN
CARE COURT HAS ACTUALLY
INCREASED. DOCTOR FOSTER'S. NOT
PEROTIS. COURT SHOULD BE HERE TO
PROTECT AND SERVE THOSE WHO ARE
THE MOST VULNERABLE. MY
CHALLENGE THE CHALLENGE FOR ANY
JOB. IS TO FIND ALTERNATIVES TO
INCARCERATION. BUT THIS GROUP OF
INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY
RATHER THE CONTINUE YEAR AFTER
YEAR WATCHING THE SAME CYCLE
REPEAT ITSELF. BUT THE CARE
COURT BILL MAKING THE CIVIL
PROCEEDINGS ARE NOT CRIMINAL IS
VERY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE WITH
THEIR OWN SUPPORTER ON THEIR OWN
JOURNEY IT'S A NEW ROLE OF
APPROACH WITH THE DEDICATION OF
SUFFICIENT RESOURCES FOR HOUSING
TREATMENT AND SERVICES IN THE
COMMUNITY. THEY DO NOT EXIST IN
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
ONGOING COURT OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY IS IMPORTANT. AND
WE SHOULD BE THERE TO PERFORM
THAT FUNCTION. I WOULD LIKE
THEIR OWN ROLES WITH A BRIEF
EXAMPLE THANK YOU IN THE
INTEREST IN THE INTEREST OF TIME
VERY MUCH THANK YOU YOUR HONOR-
I THINK- WE ARE GOING TO NOW
MOVE ON TO- WITH A COUPLE WERE
ON THE LINE- I BELIEVE YOU HAVE
ABOUT. A MINUTE AND FORTY FIVE
SECONDS. IT IS SO MUCH. FOR THE
PRIVILEGE OF ADDRESSING THIS
AUGUST BODY. AND I HAVE A SON
FORTY YEARS FOR FORTY FOUR YEARS
OLD WHO WAS GRAVELY DISABLED THE
SPECIFIC. FISCAL EFFECTIVE
DISORDER HAD WITH THE CORCORAN.
INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY. AND IS
IN TREATMENT AT THE RESIDENTIAL
FACILITY IN SAN JOSE IN FACT
WE'RE- GOVERNOR NEWSOM RECENTLY
ANNOUNCED THE CARE COURT
INITIATIVE. AND I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE TO MEET HIM AND
SECRETARY. AND I SPEAK ON BEHALF
OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES
A MENTAL HEALTH DIAGNOSIS-
INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITH SERIOUS
MENTAL ILLNESS CONTINUE TO COME
TO HARM REGARDLESS OF MULTIPLE
OUTREACH ATTEMPTS BY A CODE
PENSION SYSTEM. WITHOUT SOME
LEVEL OF INTERVENTION. THE END
UP ON OUR STREETS IN PRISON
HOMELESS OR DEAD. MANY FAMILIES
SO CONTACT NAMI SANTA CLARA
COUNTY. IN DESPERATION TRYING TO
FIND HELP FOR THE VERY ILL
FAMILY MEMBERS. FURTHER
SUBSTANTIATES THIS ASSERTION.
FOR THIS SEGMENT OF THE
POPULATION SUFFERING FROM
SCHIZOPHRENIA AND RELATED
DISORDERS. THE CARE CORD MODEL
IS AN IMPORTANT OPTION. THAT CAN
PREVENT UNNECESSARY SUFFERING
NOT ONLY FOR THE PATIENTS BUT
ALSO FOR THE FAMILIES. NO ONE
SHOULD HAVE TO EXPERIENCE
MULTIPLE INVOLUNTARY
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARRESTS AND
JAIL TIME. OR YEARS OF
HOMELESSNESS IN ORDER TO ACCESS
NEEDED TREATMENT. AT THE LEVEL
THAT IS WARRANTED ROBUST
WRAPAROUND SERVICES AND
APPROPRIATE COMMUNITY BASED
PLACEMENT. THEN UNLOCK SETTING.
WELL THE CIVIL COURT IS A TOOL
USED IT IS A SHORT TERM
INTERVENTION THAT CAN HAVE
LASTING POSITIVE OUTCOMES. THE
PROGRAM THAT USES CIVIL COURT
COUNT ABILITY WITH COMMUNITY
BASED SOLUTIONS WITH EMPHASIS ON
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING. IS
NEEDED IN CALIFORNIA THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS OF NAMI SANTA CLARA
COUNTY AND I. SUPPORT IT BUT

PATH TO RECOVERY AND I'VE BEEN
ABLE TO HAVE A CAREER AS AN
ATTORNEY. AT WHEN I WAS IN
WASHINGTON DC I WAS THE
DISABILITY POLICY DIRECTOR FOR
SENATOR TOM HARKIN ON THE U. S.
SENATE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH
EDUCATION LABOR AND PENSIONS.
AND I'VE RAISED TWO CHILDREN
WITH MY WIFE. NONE OF THIS
WOULD'VE BEEN POSSIBLE FOR ME IF
I DIDN'T LEARN EARLY HOW TO MAKE
DECISIONS FOR MYSELF HOW TO GET
CARE THAT WAS GOING TO WORK FOR
ME AND HOW TO MANAGE MY SYMPTOMS
SO THAT I COULD ACCOMPLISH MY
GOALS. SO THE QUESTION FOR
PEOPLE WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA
SPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH
THE NEW DIAGNOSIS IS WHAT'S
GOING TO WORK BEST FOR THEM. WE
DON'T BELIEVE THAT FORCED CARER
WORKS WELL FOR PEOPLE WITH
MENTAL HEALTH DISABILITIES AND
WE DON'T FEEL THAT THERE'S A
GOOD EVIDENCE BASE TO SUPPORT
IT. I HEARD SENATOR I'M BURKE
SAY THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT
INVOLVE FORCED CARE SO THE
QUESTION THAT WE HAVE IN
OPPOSITION IS. HOW DO YOU HAVE A
COURT ORDERED CARE PLAN. WITHOUT
FORCE. AND END TO THEIR- THAT
ALL THAT HOW. IS THE BILL
EXPLAIN. SAYS YOU CAN ORDER
HOUSING. SO IF THE COURT CAN
ORDER HOUSING HOW ARE WE GOING
TO ENSURE. THAT THE HOUSING AND
PRIORITIZE THE LAST POINT I WANT
TO MAKE. THIS PEOPLE WHO ARE
AFRICAN AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY. DIAGNOSED
WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA OFTENTIMES.
INCORRECTLY SO LET'S ALSO MAKE
SURE THERE'S NOT AN UNINTENDED.
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCE PROPERTY
FROM AFRICAN AMERICANS WERE
DISPROPORTIONATELY HOMELESS. AND
DISPROPORTIONATE GAIN THESE
DIAGNOSES. AND NOW I'M GONNA
TURN OVER TO ANDREA WATSON. FROM
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
MENTAL HEALTH CARE RUN
ORGANIZATION. THANK YOU ANDY AND
THANK YOU MEMBERS OF THE
ASSEMBLY AND OUR SYSTEM EXCUSE
ME I'M HERE- I STATE INTERIM
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR CAMPRO
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
MENTAL HEALTH PEER RUN
ORGANIZATIONS. AND I AM HERE-
FOR CAMPERS VISION THAT WE HAVE
HAVE ARDENTLY OVER MANY YEARS
BEEN OPPOSED TO FORCE TREATMENT
WE FEEL CARE QUARTERS IS IN LINE
WITH THAT VISION OF BEING
OPPOSED TO- FORCED TREATMENT WE
BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW IN
COMMUNITY VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY
BASED ALTERNATIVES ARE REALLY.
THE ANSWER AND WE ENVISION A
SYSTEM WITHOUT
WELL AFTER MY LAST
HOSPITALIZATION IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN AFTER MY SON DIED OF
BRAIN CANCER. THAT I FOUND-
WELLNESS CENTER WHILE I WAS
STAYING AT A HOMELESS SHELTER.
AND THAT EXPOSURE TO THE
WELLNESS CENTER OF A COMMUNITY
BASED NONPROFIT AND EXPOSURE TO
PEER SUPPORT DID MORE FOR ME
THAN TWENTY YEARS OF
HOSPITALIZATION MEDICATION AND
BEING ON THE STREETS. AND I'M IN
THE LONGEST PHASE OF STABILITY
IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I'M ABOUT
TO GET MY MASTERS IN PUBLIC
EDUCATION OR PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION. M. I. IT WASN'T
THE FIRST TIME I HAD PEER
SUPPORT- BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
MY SISTER AND MY OLDER SISTER
WAS DIAGNOSED WITH PARANOID
SCHIZOPHRENIA WHEN I WAS A
CHILD. SHE WAS NOT OUR FAMILIES
THE CRAZY ONE NOBODY WANTED TO
LISTEN TO HER BUT SHE WAS THE
ONLY ONE I COULD TALK TO YOU.
ABOUT MY OWN EXPERIENCE THE ONLY
ONE THAT HELPED ME AND REACHED
OUT AND HAVE COMPASSION AND
TAUGHT ME A LOT ABOUT. LIFE AB
SHE WENT THROUGH CYCLES OF
HOMELESSNESS AS WELL- AND SO I
COME NOT ONLY AS A FAMILY MEMBER
I'M NOT A MOTHER ALSO WITH
CHILDREN WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE
AND I HAVE OTHER SIBLINGS HAVE
SUFFERED WITH WARNING AND
CLATTERING AND ALCOHOL AND
SUBSTANCE ABUSE SO IT IS ALL
AROUND ME- AFTER BEING
HOSPITALIZED I STARTED WORKING
WITH MY COUNTY BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH- I WORKED IN CRISIS
SERVICES FOR OVER FIVE YEARS I%
WORKED FOR ME AS A PEER AND AS A
CRISIS COUNSELOR. AND I CAN TELL
YOU IS A REALLY ODD FEELING TO
SUDDENLY HAVE THE KEYS TO THE
UNIT I WAS ONCE LOCKED UP IN AND
JUST ONLY BE ABLE TO WRITE THE
HOLES THAT I WAS ONCE ON- DURING
THAT EXPERIENCE I ALSO
COORDINATED HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
I CAN TELL YOU THERE ARE MANY
HOLES IN THE SYSTEM AND I CAN
TELL YOU EXPERIENCE LEE AS BOTH
A PATIENT AND SOMEONE WHO'S DONE
HOSPITALIZATION THAT THAT DOES
NOT WORK FOR MOST PEOPLE- I
WANTED TO SEE THAT ALSO IS MY
EXPERIENCE WITH LEAD- OUR
PROGRAM A CAMPER WE HAVE DONE
OVER- THE FORTY LISTENING
SESSIONS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS
TWENTY SEVEN. TWENTY SEVEN OF
THEM IN THE LAST TWO TWO MONTHS
OR THREE MONTHS AND WE'VE TALKED
TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH LIVED
EXPERIENCE ASKING THEM WHAT
THEIR NEEDS AND PRIORITIES ARE
FOR MENTAL HEALTH NOT ONE OF
THEM ASKED FOR MORE FORCED
TREATMENT FOR MORE MEDICATION
THEY WANTED SERVICES IN THEIR
COMMUNITY PLACES WHERE PEOPLE
COULD GO TO GET HELP WITH IN
THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS WHERE THEY
CAN HAVE NETWORKS OF SUPPORT AND
COMMUNITY OF A SOCIAL NETWORK OF
PEERS THAT UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY
WERE GOING- MY FEAR WITH. AN OUR
FEAR AT CAMP ROAD IS THAT- YOU
KNOW. THIS REPORT IS GOING TO
FAST TRACK PEOPLE AROUND OPS IN
INTO CONSERVATORSHIP BECAUSE
THOSE COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES
AREN'T FUNDED AND AREN'T THERE
IN THE LEVEL THAT THEY NEED TO
BE TO SUPPORT THIS PROCESS- WE
HAVE- AS A RESPONSES DEVELOPED A
WHOLE MENU OF VOLUNTARY OPTIONS.
THAT WE SUGGEST THAT YOU LOOK AT
AS ALTERNATIVES TO ANY KIND OF
FORCED A TREATMENT PROGRAM- AND
LOOK AT A ROBUSTLY FUNDING THOSE
INSTEAD OF PUTTING MONEY AWAY
FROM EXISTING PROGRAMS INTO A
FORCE OF SYSTEM- I WOULD LIKE
TO. JUST OFFER THAT AS- I HAVE A
COPY OF THOSE SOLUTIONS- WITH ME
IF YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE THEM AND
I'M OPEN TO ANY QUESTIONS MOST
OF THANK YOU VERY MUCH- KERIS-
MERRICK. ARE YOU IN THIS MATTER
YEAH ALL RIGHT YOU HAVE
ESSENTIALLY THREE MINUTES AND
THIRTY SECONDS BRING IT ALL HOME
WHERE IS OUR TIMER REMOTE
HOWEVER SO HIGH MY NAME IS
KARISHMA OKAY WITH THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY AND ARMY NATIONAL
PEER LEADER I PREFER UP
PREVIOUSLY WITH THE L. A. COUNTY
DEPARTMENT OF MENTAL HEALTH
SAMPSON WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
BOARD OF MONEY NATIONAL. I'M
ALSO A PERSON WHO WAS GIVEN A
DIAGNOSIS OF SCHIZOPHRENIA. MY
FIRST THING WITH THE MENTAL
HEALTH SYSTEM DURING A TIME OF
CRISIS. OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN
MY THIRTIES HERE IN LA. AND THE
VOICES WERE RELENTLESSLY
WOULDN'T STOP AND NEXT THING YOU
KNOW. I WASN'T CODE SWITCHING
SAID SOMETHING. AND OUR THAT WAS
INTERPRETED AS ME BEING SINGLE
FINAL COACHING AS AND- USING YOU
KNOW MORE CULTURAL LANGUAGE THAT
WITH AN UNDERSTOOD BY THE PEOPLE
WHO WERE HELPING ME. SO HOW
BEING DEEMED GREATLY DISABLED
AND A DANGER TO MYSELF I WAS
HANDCUFFED AND TAKEN TO THE
POLICE STATION. AND THEN I WAS
HOSPITALIZED UNDER FIFTY ONE
FIFTY. MY MOTHER CAME FROM
PHILADELPHIA TO HELP ME FIND
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING NONE WAS TO
BE FOUND. LONG WAITING LIST FOR
SECTION EGHT LEFT US WITH NO
CHOICE BUT FOR ME TO GIVE UP MY
HOUSING GIVE UP MY DOG. AND
MOVED TO PHILADELPHIA. I
TREATMENT THAT WITH- THE
CONSISTED OF CBT TO WHICH I CAN
PLAINTIFF WAS NOT HELPFUL BUT-
IF I DIDN'T PARTICIPATE I WAS
CALLED NON COMPLIANT. I FOUND
OUT WHAT MENTAL HEALTH CARE WAS
ALL ABOUT IT WAS NEEDING HELP
AND INSTEAD GETTING RIGHTS TAKEN
AWAY BEING HARMED PHYSICALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY AND NOT GETTING MY
NEEDS MET. EVIDENCE HAS SHOWN
THAT CB TEA IS NOT AS EFFECTIVE
FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS. FOR MANY
YEARS I WAS ON BILLING TO SEE
CARE THAT I NEEDED WHEN I NEEDED
IT MOST. AND I FELT THAT IT WAS
BROKEN AND SO BLACK IN AMERICA
THAT IN FACT I. DESERVED PATRICK
MCDERMOTT WAS GETTING. OVER 40%
OF CALIFORNIANS ARE HOMELESS OR
PLAQUE BUT WE ONLY MAKE UP SIX
POINT 5% OF THE POPULATION. FOR
DIAGNOSIS OF BLACK MEN WITH
SCHIZOPHRENIA IS WELL DOCUMENTED
AND THAT IS YET ANOTHER
DISPARITY. MY FEAR IS THAT CARE
COURT WILL PERPETUATE
DISPARITIES YOU'RE A COURT
PROCESS RATHER THAN ADDRESS THE
STRUCTURAL CAUSES. COURTS HAVE
NOT BEEN FAIR SAFE OR PLACE OF
CARE FOR BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE.
AS A CALIFORNIA AS A BLACK
INDIGENOUS CALIFORNIA I REALLY
WANT US TO HAVE ACCESS TO WE
WENT WITHOUT REACH ENGAGEMENT
SERVICES. PEER SUPPORT RESPITE
SUPPORTED HOUSING AND TREATMENT
THAT'S CULTURALLY ALIGNED AND
EFFECTIVE. THERE'S A LAKOTA
THING THAT. FORCE NO MATTER HOW
CONCEALED BECAUSE WE FIFTEENTH
WHEN FIFTEEN FAILED PEOPLE WE
CAN HELP PEOPLE TO THE VERY
BROKEN SYSTEMS RATHER THAN-
CREATING SYSTEMS THAT MEET THE
NEEDS OF ALL PEOPLE IN THE LEAST
RESTRICTIVE WAY POSSIBLE.
EVIDENCE TO SHOW THAT PEER
SUPPORT SERVICES INCREASE
ENGAGEMENT ACTIVATION
PARTICIPATION IN TREATMENT AS
WELL AS REDUCE HOSPITALIZATION
AND LONGER TENURE IN THE
COMMUNITY AND FAMILY SUPPORT
INCREASES CONFIDENCE IN KNOWING
HOW TO SUPPORT THEIR LOVED ONE
REDUCTION OF STIGMA AND
INCREASED SOCIAL INCLUSION. IT
IS NOT A MEDICAID STATE MIGHT
BENEFIT HERE BUT IT IS AN FORTY
EIGHT OTHER STATES. WE NEED
PEOPLE WHO LOOK LIKE US FROM THE
SAME CULTURE WHO SPEAK THE SAME
LANGUAGE AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH
SIMILAR MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES. TO AID IN RECOVERY JOURNEY.
AND MEET US HERE WE- TALKING.

BRING IT BACK TO THE DAIS-
COLLEAGUES WILL START WITH THE
CENTER WINNER AND THEN CENTER
WHAT KASKY. I'M GREAT THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- IS CHAIRMAN- SO I
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND HAPPY TO
MOVE IT- THANK THE AUTHORS FOR
THEIR WORK I'M ALSO THRILLED
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION IS
INVOLVED- WE WERE DOING- SOME OF
THIS WORK IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN
TWENTY NINETEEN- WE WERE SORT OF
IN A LOAN MAYOR. MAYOR BREED
WAS- WAS WITH MY PARTNER IN THAT
IT WAS BASICALLY JUST THE TWO OF
US- AND WE WENT THROUGH THE MEAT
GRINDER OF THIS COMMITTEE AND
THE- QUIBBLING COMMITTEE ON THE
ASSEMBLY- AND ENDED UP WITH A
MUCH NARROWER BILL. THAT WE
WOULD HAVE WANTED AND WE REALLY
HAD NO SUPPORT IN THAT- AND SO
IT- WE DON'T GO AS FAR AS WE
NEED TO SO I'M GLAD THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS NOW. I'VE
DECIDED TO PRIORITIZE THIS ISSUE
BECAUSE- OF STRUCTURAL REFORM-
OF OUR- OF OUR LAWS IN THIS AREA
WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITHOUT
LEADERSHIP- OF THE GOVERNOR'S
JUST TO- POLITICALLY
CHALLENGING. PINE ISSUE SOME
LIKE THRILLED WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION'S INVOLVEMENT WE
HAVE TWO STRONG AUTHORS ON THE
BILL- IT THIS IS ALWAYS AN
AWKWARD- SUBJECT FOR ME ONLY
BECAUSE OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE
OPPOSING A BILL OUR
MODERNISATIONS I WORK WITH ON A
VERY REGULAR BASIS THING AND
PARTNER WITH THINGS. CARRY BILLS
THEY SPONSOR TURNS EXPAND
EXPANDING ACCESS AND FUNDING FOR
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT FOR
ADDICTION- TREATMENT. AND SO
FORTH AND WE KNOW THAT FOR THE-
VERY LARGE ME. OF PEOPLE WERE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES-
THAT CONSERVATORSHIP ARE ARE NOT
THE ANSWER. TO THE VAST MAJORITY
OF PEOPLE MENTAL HEALTH
CHALLENGES THIS IS NOT. THE
ANSWER IT'S VOLUNTARY TREATMENT
BUT WE ALSO NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE
OF PEOPLE WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
CHALLENGES THAT VOLUNTARY
SERVICES IS NOT AND WILL NEVER-
SOLVE. THEIR PROBLEM I WILL
NEVER GET THEM HEALTHY I AND
THAT IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
PEOPLE WITH BEHAVIORAL
CHALLENGES BUT IT IS VERY VERY
REAL- AND THERE IS A SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO NEED.
EXTRA HELP- AND SOMETIMES FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME THEY NEED SOMEONE
TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR THEM TO
GET THEM HEALTHY SO THEY CAN RE
ENTER VOLUNTARY SERVICES. AND WE
SEE IT PLAYING OUT ON OUR
STREETS EVERYDAY- WITH PEOPLE
WHETHER IT'S YOUR FOLKS YOUR
SLEEPING IN THEIR OWN FECES
FOLKS WHO ARE RUNNING OUT IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET SCREAMING-
CARS ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTING
IN WAYS WHERE THEY'RE- THEY'RE
THEY'RE BASICALLY TRENDING
TOWARDS THAT. WE HAVE TO BE
CLEAR THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
TRENDING TOWARDS DEATH AND IT IS
TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE WHEN
PEOPLE WALK ON THE STREET AND
THEY SAY WHAT WHY IS THIS
HAPPENING. WHY ISN'T ANYONE
DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND AN
OFFERING. EXCLUSIVELY VOLUNTARY
SERVICES TO SOMEONE WHO IS IN
THAT CONDITION IS NOT GOING TO
WORK. ON I KNOW THAT THIS BILL
IS A WORK IN PROGRESS I KNOW
SOME OF THE OPPOSITION TO IT-
YOU KNOW THERE THERE THERE ARE
CONCERNS ABOUT DIFFERENT- WAYS
IN WHICH IT'S IMPLEMENTED OR
STRUCTURED- THIS BILL ISN'T VERY
EARLY FORM AND I KNOW IT'S GOING
TO EVOLVE- SO THAT IT IS. A VERY
FOCUSED AND TIGHTLY CRAFTED-
BILL- AND I'VE CONFIDENCE THAT
WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE- AND-
BUT THE STATUS QUO IS NOT OKAY
AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR STE
CHANGES SAYS QUOTE THIS IS ONE
PIECE OF IT. BUT. THE OTHER
PIECE OF IT HAS TO BE EXPANDING
OUR ACCESS. ON ACCESS TO MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES WE KNOW THAT
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FUNDING WE
KNOW THERE'S NOT ENOUGH ACCESS
WE KNOW THAT EVEN IF YOU ARE
PRIVILEGED TO HAVE THE BEST
INSURANCE. EVEN THOSE PEOPLE
STRUGGLE TO ACCESS MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS
BROKEN AND I THINK I AGREE I
AGREE WITH THE OPPOSITION. WHY
NOT- THE FACT THAT PEOPLE WITH
GOOD INSURANCE CAN'T GET MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES DOES SPEAK
VOLUMES- AND WE'RE DOING THAT
WORK IN THE LEGISLATURE WE HAVE
BEEN FOR A FEW YEARS I AUTHORED
THE MENTAL HEALTH MENTAL PAIR
MENTAL HEALTH PARITY. ALL LAW
WHICH IS THE STRONGEST IN THE
COUNTRY- WE DONE WORK. TO
STRENGTHEN THE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES ACT TO PROVIDE FOR
BILLION. DOLLARS IN FUNDING FOR
pBECAUSE WE HAVE BASICALLY AS A
SOCIETY JETTISONED ARE USED. TO
JUST DEAL WITH THEIR CHALLENGES
WITH GIVE AND GIVING THEM VERY
VERY FEW RESOURCES ON. BUT WITH
ALL THAT SAID AND WE HAVE TO
KEEP DOING THAT WORK AND DO
MORE- THERE THERE ARE. A SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WHO NEED
EXTRA HELP THIS BILL IS A STEP
IN THAT DIRECTION I SUPPORT- AND
AGAIN HAPPY TO MOVE THE BILL.
THANK YOU. SIR WHAT KASKY THEN
SENATOR RUSSELL. I THINK I HAVE
EITHER FOR. EITHER FOR THE- THE
CHAIR OR FOR JUDGE MANLEY
BECAUSE QUESTIONS. YOU KNOW THE
OPPOSITION IS ALL OVER EITHER
IT'S TOO OPPRESSIVE OR DOESN'T
DO ENOUGH AND IS THE COURTS THE
BEST VENUE OR ARE WE TAKING
WHITE PEOPLE'S CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS SO THERE'S THAT- BUT-
COLLABORATIVE COURTS I'M I'M I'M
WONDERING BECAUSE I WAS THINKING
ABOUT. CHAPTER NINE WHICH IS
ONLY BY WHITE HOUSE HE COULD
THINK ABOUT BANKRUPTCY MUNICIPAL
BANKRUPTCIES BECAUSE- THE REASON
IS THAT JUDGES CAN'T ORDER
ANYTHING. IF THEY CAN'T NOT
UNLIKE A CHAPTER SEVEN OR
THIRTEEN ELEVEN THEY CAN SAY YOU
DID OR DO THIS AND YOU CREDITORS
ARE FOUND IT'S ALL COLLABORATION
THEY HAVE TO HAVE AGREEMENT WITH
PEOPLE NIGHT AND I WAS THINKING.
THOSE COURTS DO THAT FOR
MUNICIPALITIES WHEN THEY COME IN
BEFORE THEM AND THEY TRY TO WORK
OUT THESE DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS ON
WHAT'S THE BEST PLAN FOR THAT
CITY TO REORGANIZE TO DEBTS AND
FOR CREDITORS TO TAKE A HAIR CUT
SO THE- JUDGE MANLEY SAID A
BUNCH OF WORK IN COLLABORATIVE
COURTS AND I'M WONDERING YOU
KNOW WHY WE- CAN'T ORDER.
HOUSING AND WE CAN'T ORDER
MEDICATION THAT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT HOUSING ADVOCATES AND THE
MEDICAL- FOLKS ARE THAT-
PSYCHIATRISTS ARE NOT IN THE
ROOM WHEN THESE DISCUSSIONS ARE
GOING ON AND I WAS WONDERING.
HOW DOES HE ENVISION THE
EFFECTIVENESS IF IT WERE IF THE
GOAL IS TO HIT SEVEN TO TWELVE
THOUSAND. EVEN THOUGH YOU CAN'T
ORDER PEOPLE TO THIS TREATMENT.
YES ORDER SET THEM UP WITH THE
DISCUSSION I GUESS I'M I DON'T
KNOW I'M NOT A JUDGE BUT I WAS
WONDERING IF THE JUDGE KIDS
COULD GIVE US SOME IDEA OF HOW
THIS MIGHT BE SUCCESSFUL HEARD
HOW IT MIGHT NOT BE SAFE FOR
MAYBE. THE CHAIR COULD TELL US
HOW BAD. LACK OF. POWER TO ORDER
SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING MIGHT
ACTUALLY PROVED TO BE EFFECTIVE
- I WILL LET THE EXPERTS ANSWER
THE QUESTION- MISTER DOCTOR
GALLEY IS HERE AND I THINK JUDGE
MANLEY IS STILL ON THE PHONE
BUT- THIS IS. THE A COUSIN TO
THE COLLABORATIVE COURTS- THE-
OUTCOME FOR THE RECORD IS THE
WORST CASE OUTCOME IS A
CONSERVATORSHIP WHERE'S AND
COLLABORATIVE COURTS YOU MAY END
UP BEING BACK IN A COUPLE
JUSTICE SYSTEM JUDICIAL COMMIT
JUST SYSTEM AND CAN POTENTIALLY
BE INCARCERATED THAT'S A
DIFFERENCE OF THE COURT CANNOT
AS I MENTIONED ORDER MEDICATION
THE COURT CANNOT ORDER
INCARCERATION BUT THE COURT CAN
FOR EXAMPLE- SUPERVISE IN ORDER
SOME OF THE ANCILLARY SERVICES
THAT SUPPORT. THE CARE COURTS SO
OUT I'LL NOW DEFERRED TO A JUDGE
MANLEY THAN TO- DOCTOR GALLEY
THEY WISH TO ADD. JUDGE'S ORDER
HONOR. MODERATOR IS THEN IT IS-
JUDGE FAMILY STILL ON THE LINE
CAN YOU CONFIRM. IT LOOKS LIKE
THE JUDGE DISCONNECTED CUT THAT
DR KELLY TO JEWISH DATING. WELL
THANK YOU DR KELLY THAT'S THE
FIRST TIME EVER ONCE ANYONE'S
EVER SAID THAT SINCE I'VE BEEN A
LEGISLATURE OF- I GUESS MY
FOLLOW UP QUESTION IS AGAIN IT'S
THIS. CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION
THAT'S NOT REALLY FLESHED OUT IS
THAT IF SOMEBODY IS
INCAPACITATED AND THEY YOU KNOW
THEY- ASSUMING MOST OF THESE
PEOPLE HAVEN'T REACHED THAT
INCAPACITATION SO THERE- THERE
IF THEY BREACH IT THEN WE HAVE
SOME CONSTITUTIONAL TRIGGERS
THAT WILL GO IN BUT IF THEY
HAVEN'T HOW DOES THE COURT.
ORDER A TREATMENT PLAN AND HOW
TO HAVE IT WHAT'S THE FORCE OF
THE LAW TO DO THAT. I SO THE
COLLABORATION COMES FROM A CASE
MANAGER FROM UP A PROFESSIONAL
FROM THE SUPPORTER WITH THE
JUDGE IN THE AND THE PUBLIC
DEFENDER IT'S- IT SHOULD BE AS
IT'S REFERRED TO AS IT LIKE IT'S
AN AGREEMENT SO WHILE THE JUDGE
CAN'T ORDER THE PERSON THIS IN
IT WHAT THE SYSTEM THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT IS AN AFFECT WHAT
THE WHAT THE OPPOSITION IS
ASKING FOR MORE COLLABORATION
MORE TOUCHES TO THAT PORTION
MORE ENGAGEMENT WITH THAT PERSON
THAT YOU'RE NOT JUST BEFORE A
JUDGE WITH THE SENTENCE ARE
GOING TO BE. HELD AGAINST YOUR
WILL OR NOT IT IS A
COLLABORATION AND IF IT'S A IF
IT'S A FAMILY MEMBER THAT WANTS
TO BE THAT SUPPORTER THAT CAN
HAPPEN AS WELL AND IT MISS PAID
IF THEY IF THEY DO NOT GO ALONG
THAT WOULD BE A- A FAIRLY PER
PERHAPS AT THAT LEVEL OF
TREATMENT WHICH THEN THE PERSON
WOULD COULD POTENTIALLY COME IN
THROUGH A DIFFERENT DOOR AS I
SAID BEFORE THIS IS A DIFFERENT
ON RAMP TO OUR SYSTEM SO IN THIS
ONE THERE WAS MORE FRONT AND
COLLABORATION TO GET AGREEMENT
WITH THAT PERSON AND THEN FOLLOW
UP TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ABLE TO
FOLLOW THROUGH. IF THE
OPPOSITION MOST OF WHAT THEY SAY
YOU NEED MORE ENGAGEMENT MORE
COLLABORATION IN FACT THIS IS
WHAT THIS IS TO KIND OF GET
PEOPLE THERE VERSUS JUST SAYING
DO IT AND THEN HOLDING THEM
ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUTCOMES THEY
MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE ON
THEIR OWN. SENATOR AWESOME THANK
YOU- AND I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHORS AND EVERYBODY WHO'S PUT
IN THEIR TWO CENTS A TO FIGURE
THIS OUT AYE AYE I WISH WE ALL
HAD CLEARER ANSWERS WHICH IS
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR RIGHT
CLEAR CUT AND- IT'S
UNDERSTANDABLE THAT THERE ARE
THOSE WHO ARE. THE WINNERS.
BECAUSE THIS IS A TWEENER BILL.
IT IS NEITHER FORCING AS I
UNDERSTAND IT NEITHER COMPLETELY
FORCING NOR IS IT SORT OF
COMPLETELY. ALLOWING YOU- TO
CONTINUE THE BILL AND THE
CONDITIONS THAT YOU'RE IN SO
THAT REALLY MAKES IT EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT- SO I JUST HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS BUT- ONE IS. IF THE
TARGETED- MEN AND WOMEN THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT. IF THEY LACK
MEDICAL DECISION MAKING IF THEY
LACK THE CAPACITY. HOW DO AT THE
SAME TIME- FIND THAT THEY'RE
CAPABLE OF AGREEING TO THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT OR A
TREATMENT PLAN. HI MAKE THAT
WORK THAT THE DOCTOR GOAL IS
GOING TO TAKE THAT. GREAT THANK
YOU THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION-
ADDRESS THIS QUESTION FIRST-
FIRST OFF THE PROCESS THAT IS
BEING PROPOSED ALLOWS FOR- WIDE
ARRAY OF PETITIONERS INCLUDING
FAMILY MEMBERS CLINICIANS OTHER
FIRST RESPONDERS ARE TO REALLY
ALLOW US TO. HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THOSE WHO ARE SUFFERING
DEEPLY MAYBE WHO DON'T HAVE A
FAMILY MEMBER AT THEIR SIDE
WHO'VE LOST THEIR COMMUNITY FOR
ONE REASON OR ANOTHER TO ENSURE
THAT THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO
RECEIVE THE FULL SET OF SERVICES
AND I'LL REMIND YOU THE CARE
PLAN REALLY HAS THREE
COMPONENTS. IT'S A TREATMENT
TEAM. SO A GROUP OF PEOPLE
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES SHOW US
THAT GROUPS OF CLINICIANS THAT
COME TOGETHER TO WRAP THEMSELVES
AROUND. INDIVIDUALS WITH SEVERE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONDITIONS TO
BETTER. SECOND PIECES
MEDICATIONS WE KNOW THAT OVER
THE LAST COUPLE OF DECADES WE
HAVE DEVELOPED BETTER.
MEDICATIONS FOR EXACTLY THE
CONDITIONS THAT ARE PLANNED AND-
IDENTIFIED FOR CARE COURT AND
THOSE MEDICATIONS OFTEN. CAN BE
GIVEN AS SINGLE INJECTIONS FOR
OVER TWO WEEKS OR A ONE ONCE A
MONTH AND INJECTION THAT DON'T
REQUIRE YOU TO SEE. DIRECTLY
OBSERVED THERAPY OF DAILY
TREATMENTS AND LOCKS OR OTHER
CONFINED SETTINGS SO IT ALLOWS
US TO DO THE THIRD PIECE WHICH
IS FOCUSED ON THE HOUSING PLAN
RUN COMMUNITY BASED HOUSING THAT
CAN MEAN MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
COULD MEAN HI DONNA FIND A
FAMILY MEMBER A LOVED ONE WHO
FEELS MORE EMPOWERED MORE
SUPPORTED TO ALLOW SOMEBODY
WHO'S IN THE PROCESS OF RECOVERY
AND HEALING TO BE AT HOME OR IT
COULD BE A COMMUNITY BASED
SUPPORT OF HOUSING UNIT. IT
COULD BE IN CERTAIN HIGH QUALITY
BOARDING CARE UNITS IN DIFFERENT
PARTS OF THE STATE WE HOPE TO
SEE THE LEVEL OF HOUSING AND THE
AVAILABILITY INVESTMENTS THAT
THE GOVERNOR IS MADE THE
LEGISLATURE IS MADE OVER THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT IS
PROPOSED IN THIS BUDGET. REALLY
ANCHOR AND BUILD THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR THAT HOUSE SO THAT SUITE OF
SERVICES- BECAUSE OF IMPORTANT
FEEDBACK FROM EXACTLY THE
PARTNERS IN ADVOCATES WHO WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH. THIS BILL HAS
A OUR ENGAGEMENT PERIOD IT'S
CALLED THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
PERIOD FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN
WHO DO NOT- DO NOT LACK SO OF
SUCH SIGNIFICANT CAPACITY AND
JUDGMENT CHALLENGES THAT THEY'RE
ABLE TO. PARTICIPATE IN THE
CREATION OF THE PLAN AND IT'S
NOT JUST ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY ON
THE PARTICIPANT WE'VE TALKED A
LOT ABOUT THAT TODAY BUT THERE'S
A STRONG ETHICAL COUNT ABILITY
ON GOVERNMENT WHETHER THAT'S
LOCAL COUNTY GOVERNMENT WHETHER
THAT'S ON. CITIES AND OTHERS WHO
HAVE FOR I NEED FOR HOUSE. TO
COME TOGETHER AND DELIVER A PAIR
PLAN COMMITMENT IN THE CAN. OVER
TIME TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
SUFFERING SO THE FOCUS OF THE
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT PERIOD THAT
ENGAGEMENT PERIOD IS TO BRING-
BRING TOGETHER A CLIENT WITH THE
WHOLE SUITE OF GOVERNMENT
ENTITIES THAT SHOULD BE SERVING
THEM WITH. MEDICAID REIMBURSABLE
SERVICES HOUSING AND A
SUPPORTIVE SETTING SO THAT WE
HAVE THE PROMISE THAT WE SHOULD
BE MAKING TO THESE INDIVIDUALS
FOR YEARS BEFORE NOW. AND WE
HOPE TODAY IS THE BEGINNING OF
MAKING THAT COMMITMENT IN A
STRONG SOLID WAY IF IN THE END
THAT ENGAGEMENT SETTLEMENT
PERIOD IS NOT ENOUGH. THE COURT
WILL HAVE TO THE CORK CARE CORE
PROCESS MORE OUR ENGAGEMENT AND
OVERSIGHT OVER ENSURING BOTH
PARTIES MEET THE FULL GLORY OF
THAT PLAN OVER THE COURSE OF
THAT FULL YEAR WITH THE ELECTION
OF A SECOND YEAR IF THAT'S
APPROPRIATE. THANK ONE MORE SURE
BUT ONE MORE QUESTION IS- WHY
NOT OR IS THERE WAIT FOR SOMEONE
TO OFTEN. TO THIS ON THEIR OWN
WITHOUT BEING RIGHT HAVE YOUR
DISHES AMONG SOMEONE CANNOT THEM
I MEAN SOMEONE CAN FOR EXAMPLE
IN ESSENCE SELF REFER IF I
UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY DR KELLY
SHAKING HIS HEAD IN THE
AFFIRMATIVE YEAH OKAY OKAY SO
THEY THEY GOT CAN OKAY. AND I'M
SORRY JUST ONE MORE ON THE
HOUSING ISSUE THAT'S BEEN
BROUGHT UP BY A NUMBER OF PEOPLE
I THINK DR KELLY STARTED TO TALK
ABOUT THAT- THAT THERE MAY BE
HOUSING OF A FAMILY MEMBER HAS.
COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN THAT A
LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT'S THAT CAME UP- BY
OPPOSITION A NUMBER OF TIMES AND
WE KNOW WE ARE WOEFULLY. YOU
KNOW BEHIND ON THE UNABLE TO
PROVIDE HOUSING SO- FIRST OFF
THE HOUSING PLAN COMPONENT. OF
CARE COURT IS MEANT TO BE BROAD
BECAUSE WE KNOW THE NEEDS OF
INDIVIDUALS IT'S THERE'S NO ONE
SIZE FITS ALL. SOMEBODY MIGHT
HAVE A VERY APPROPRIATE
ACCESSIBLE OUR ABILITY TO LIVE
WITH A FAMILY MEMBER WE DON'T
WANT TO TAKE THAT AWAY AND
SUGGEST A DIFFERENT OPTION IS
BETTER. BUT IN THAT CONTINUUM OF
HOUSING OPTIONS INCLUDES HOUSING
WITH A FAMILY MEMBER A COMMUNITY
MEMBER ALL THE WAY TO PERMANENT
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING OR MORE-
SERVICE ENRICHED HOUSING WITH
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES IF
THAT IS WHAT'S APPROPRIATE. WHAT
IS CALLED IN THE PLAN AND WHAT
HAS BEEN BACKED BY RESOURCES
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS
INCLUDING A PROPOSAL FOR ONE
POINT FIVE BILLION THIS YEAR.
FOR BEHAVIORAL HEALTH BRIDGE
HOUSING TO SUPPORT EXACTLY THE
POPULATION CARE COURT MIND. I
KNOW THAT WE TALK DAILY ABOUT
THE BREADTH AND DEPTH OF THE
HOUSING CRISIS IN HOMELESSNESS
CRISIS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SEVEN
TO TWELVE THOUSAND OF THE MOST
AT RISK SIX CALIFORNIANS WE CAN
MEET THEIR HOUSING NEEDS WITH
THOSE RESOURCES IT'S GONNA TAKE
PRIORITIZATION. IT'S GONNA TAKE
IDENTIFICATION OF THE
APPROPRIATESENTENCE BUT WE CAN
DO IT WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT
SOLVING EVERY FACE OF THE
HOMELESSNESS CRISIS. WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT SOLVING ONE OF THE
MOST CURABLE- A HEARTBREAKING
FRANKLY COMPONENTS OF THIS
ISSUE. I WE'VE TALKED ABOUT ARE
SOME OF THE STORIES OF
INDIVIDUALS IN OUR OWN
COMMUNITIES WHO ARE CLEARLY LACK
SOME OF THE DECISION MAKING AN
INSIGHT CHALLENGES THAT WE
TALKED ABOUT AND WE CAN DO
BETTER. AND SO THE HOUSING
COMPONENT YES IT'S A CHALLENGE
TO HOUSE EVERY CALIFORNIA WE
KNOW THAT BUT SEVEN TO TWELVE
THOUSAND ESTIMATED ELIGIBLE FOR
THIS PROGRAM WE CAN DO THAT IN
THIS PROGRAM IS COMMITTED. TO
HELPING MAKE THAT. IF I COULD
HAVE THING WE REFER SOMETHING
FAMILY. BECAUSE MOST FOLKS SOME
KIND OF FAMILY IN IN THEIR LIFE
WHO HAVE HAD TO SET REAL LIMITS
OR BOUNDARIES AND YOU CAN'T
CONTINUE TO STAY HERE IF YOU
DON'T COMPLY SO HAVING THIS.
COLLABORATIVE PROCESS GIVES A
FAMILY MEMBER- MORE EASE THAT
THEY'RE ABLE TO TAKE THAT PERSON
AND KEEP THEM THERE AND HAVE
RESOURCES TO BE ABLE TO GO BACK
AND FORTH WITH- AND THEN JUST TO
THAT SEVEN TO TWELVE IT IS A
SMALL. DEMOGRAPHIC IT IS A SMALL
AMOUNT OF PEOPLE AND RIGHT NOW
WE'RE JUST ASKING THOSE WHO ARE
THE MOST SIX SUMMER STREET TO
GET IN LINE WITH EVERYBODY ELSE
FOR A SECTION EIGHT VOUCHER AND
THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR. I JUST
WANNA SAY. REALLY THE WITNESSES
YOUR YOUR WORK-AND DOCTOR
GALLEONS AND JUDGE MANLEY- THESE
ARE REALLY TOUGH DECISIONS THAT
WORLD BEING. YOU KNOW. ESTIMATE
AND- WE DON'T UNDERSTAND.
EXACTLY HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING
TO REALLY WORK OUT. RAST TO TAKE
A- LEAP OF FAITH HERE- WERE
ASKED TO- MAKE A DECISION THAT.
MIGHT VIOLATE WHAT WE ALWAYS
BELIEVE IT RIGHT THE FREEDOMS-
AND THE CIVIL LIBERTIES THAT WE
ALL BELIEVE IN- SO. I JUST WANNA
SAY IN MAKING THIS DECISION IT'S
TOUGH BUT IT'S TOUGHER TO SEE-
HUMAN BEANS ON THE STREET LIKE
THAT- BUT IT IS ASKING US TO
TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH AND I'M
GLAD THAT YOU HAVE EXPERT
WITNESSES. WHO CAN TALK ABOUT
THIS TO THE DEGREE THAT WE CAN
OKAY I'M I'M RIGHT HERE I'M IN
BETWEEN I'M BEING ASKED TO MAKE
THIS DECISION. THAT'S DIFFICULT
BUT- I'M GLAD WE HAVE THE
WITNESSES THAT WE CAN RELY ON TO
HELP WITH TILT IN THAT DIRECTION
SO- MORE THAN ANYTHING I
APPRECIATE ALL THE EFFORT THAT'S
GOING INTO IT SO. I'LL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL. THANK YOU
SENEGAL'S. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN I ADD TO WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU TO BOTH THE SUPPORT IN
OPPOSITION AGAIN HAS BEEN STATED
MANY MANY TIMES BY MY COLLEAGUES
IS NOT AN EASY- DECISION TO MAKE
AND I TAKE- EVERYONE'S TESTIMONY
WITH- COMPLETE OF RESPECT AND I
ALSO JUST WANT TO THANK
EVERYBODY AGAIN FOR. PROVIDING
THEIR COMMENTARY BECAUSE THIS IS
GOING TO BE A AS OF THE WORK IN
PROGRESS THAT I LOOK FOR TO
LEANING IN ON- REPRESENTING A
VERY LARGE CITY THE SECOND
LARGEST CITY IN L. A. COUNTY
LONG BEACH THAT HAS ITS OWN
HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND ALSO- MANY
SOUTHEAST CITIES- IN AND AROUND
ONE LOS ANGELES. SO HAVE A QUICK
COUPLE OF QUICK QUESTIONS AND
THE ONE FIVE LOTS OF- OF COURSE
CONCERNS BROUGHT BROUGHT BY THE
OPPOSITION AND IN VARIOUS
DEGREES BUT WANTED OF WHICH IS
THE PRESUMPTION CONCERN ON NON
COMPLIANCE AND I JUST WANT TO
KNOW YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THAT
AND THEN SECONDLY BROUGHT UP
ANOTHER VALID CONCERN NOT
NECESSARILY WITHIN THE- YOU KNOW
PER VIEW LET'S SAY OF THE
JUDICIARY BUT- THE RACIAL
INEQUITY CONCERNS BECAUSE THOSE
ARE JUST CONCERNS OBVIOUSLY-
UNFORTUNATELY THE DATA SHOWS
THAT. THERE MAY BE MORE
MISDIAGNOSIS- FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA-
PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS FOR FOLKS
THAT IN COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND
HOW WE'RE GONNA BE WORKING
THROUGH THAT AND I THINK IT THE
LEAST THIS WOULD LIFT UP THOSE
ISSUES SO WE CAN DISCUSS THEM
GREATER- IN A GREATER. WAY DR
KELLY WILL TO THIS BUT I JUST
ALL. THE TO GO BACK TO THE ISSUE
OF THE DIAGNOSIS THAT'S ME
OFTENTIMES AT THIS LEVEL THE
GOAL IS IN AGAIN THE MONEY WE
PUT IN FOR- TO STAND UP A WHOLE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PLATFORM FOR
CHILDREN ZERO TO TWENTY SIX TO
BE ABLE TO GET AN EVALUATION.
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS WILL
ADDRESS THE LONG STANDING ISSUES
THE- OF RACIAL EQUITY THIS IS
NOT A NEW ISSUE THIS IS NOT AN
ISSUE THAT WE'RE SURPRISED THAT
WE SEE ON THE STREETS THIS IS AN
ISSUE OF ACCESS AND EQUITY OVER
GENERATIONS. AND SO THE EARLIER
THAT WE START INTERVENTION AND
TREATMENTS THE LESS OF THAT
DISPARITY THAT WE'RE GOING TO
SEE. YEAH- LET ME SAY A COUPLE
THINGS FIRST THANK YOU FOR
REALLY LIFTING UP THE WORK THAT
WE NEED TO DO FURTHER UPSTREAM
YOU CANNOT SEE CARE COURT IN
ISOLATION IF ALL OF THE OTHER
WORK. THAT IS HAPPENING LARGELY
BY PEOPLE THAT WERE WORKING
CLOSELY WITHIN COMMUNITIES. THE
FUNDING COMES THROUGH THE STATE
THE LEGISLATURE ME TO SAY OTHER
FUNDING FOR MEDIC. CADE SERVICES
REALIGNMENT DOLLARS THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT YET. WE
HAVE SUCH A CHALLENGE AND IT WAS
EXACERBATED DURING THE PANDEMIC
BUT IF YOU TRY. TO LOOK AT CARE
COURT IN ISOLATION OF EVERYTHING
YOU WILL GET A COMPLETE OR AN
INCOMPLETE PICTURE. IMMEDIATELY
THAT IS I THINK ONE POINT. THE
SECOND THING IS MY EXPERIENCE IN
THE SPACE AND L. A. COUNTY. OUR
TEAM. ARE LARGELY THROUGH
WORKING WITH DIVERSION PROGRAMS
WORKING WITH COURTS. THAT
UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE
SYSTEM WE HAVE IN THE COMMUNITY.
HAS BECOME THE PLACE WHERE SO
MANY PEOPLE WITH SEVERE MENTAL
ILLNESS GET. YOURS AGO WHEN I
MET JUDGES AND ONLY. THEY WOULD
SAY A FULL 30% OF MY DOCKET. IS
INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES BUT THAT WAS WIDESPREAD
EVERY COURT THROUGHOUT THAT
LARGE COUNTY I'M SURE THAT
SHARED ACROSS THE STATE. JUDGE
MERELY WE'RE HERE IF OU COULD
VERIFY THAT BUT THE EXPECTATION.
THAT ARE SO MANY INDIVIDUALS
TODAY. WHO ARE EITHER
MISDIAGNOSED MISLABELED OR A
PROPERLY DIAGNOSED ONLY AFTER
THEY ENCOUNTER THE CRIMINAL
SYSTEM. END UP IN OUR JAILS AND
PRISONS AND TO GO UPSTREAM FOR
THAT POPULATION. OFFERS
SOMETHING LIKE THE CHARACTER
MODEL CIVIL PROCESS ONE THAT
LOOKS AT ENGAGEMENT FIRST LOOKS
AT. REALLY BUILDING A
COLLABORATIVE CARE PLAN
INITIALLY. BUT WE KNOW THAT
ISN'T GOING TO WORK FOR
EVERYONE. AND SOME PEOPLE WILL
NEED THE SUPPORT NOT JUST FOR
THEM BUT TO MAKE SURE THE
SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT ARE
FUNDED TO SUPPORT THEM. ARE ABLE
TO COLLABORATE AND COMPLETE A
PLAN. THERE ARE DEEP INEQUITIES
IN OUR SYSTEM. WE ARE AWARE OF
THOSE WE DO A LOT IN CALIFORNIA
TO TRY TO ADDRESS THEM YET WE
SEE THEM PERSISTING. CONTINUE WE
NEED A NEW WAY. CARE CORD ISN'T
IGN TO THOSE THERE WILL BE
INVESTMENTS IN EVALUATION AND A
COMMITMENT TO ENSURE THAT WE PAY
ATTENTION TO THOSE ISSUES BUT
THE PRESENCE OF THOSE ISSUES.
CANNOT BECOME OUR EXCUSE TO NOT
TO TRY TO DO MORE WE NEED TO DO
BUT- THEY ARE NOT INDEPENDENT WE
NEED TO WORK ON IMPROVING THOSE
ISSUES ADDRESSING THEM. THROUGH
THE INVESTMENTS I MENTIONED IN
MAKING SURE. THAT THE SUPPORTER
ROLE WHICH IS A KEY COMPONENT OF
THIS PLAN. REFLECTS AND SUPPORTS
THE INDIVIDUAL WHOEVER THEY MAY
BE. AND UNDERSTANDS THEIR WISHES
OVERTIME AND COMMUNICATES THOSE
AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PART
OF THE CARE PLAN SO I THINK
THOSE PIECES NEVER A PERFECT
ANSWER. BECAUSE WE'RE ALL
WORKING PROGRESS ON THIS BUT I
THINK CALIFORNIA. IN THIS BILL-
ARE KEEPS A FRIEND OF MINE IT
WILL MAKE AND CONTINUE TO MAKE A
COMMITMENT. AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH LARGE NUMBERS OF
PEOPLE. MANY HERE TODAY MANY OUT
AROUND OUR STATE TO MAKE SURE WE
DO THAT THE RIGHT WAY. THANK YOU
. THANK YOU AND THEN JUST THE
LAST FEW SOME PRESUMPTION AND-
SORRY DR KELLY THANK YOU. I'M
THE PEACE AROUND PRESUMPTION SO
ARE THE BELIEF IS THAT THROUGH
THE CARE CORE PROCESS LEAD OVER
THE COURSE OF OUR MAMA INDEED
NOT AGGRESSIVE BUT CERTAINLY
CONSISTENT ENGAGEMENT THERE IS
AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING PEOPLE
FORWARD AND A COMMITMENT TO
DELIVER A FULL SUITE OF SERVICES
THAT WE KNOW ARE EVIDENCE BASED
AND CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I
WOULD THAT OUR IS NOT ENOUGH WE
KNOW THAT INDIVIDUALS WILL
RETURN TO SETTINGS WHERE THEY
WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER AND
DECOMPENSATED AND THAT IDEA THAT
THE EXPERIENCE IN THE CARE COURT
MODEL IF NOT EFFECTIVE SHOULDN'T
BE IGNORED AND SHOULD BE USED IN
THE CASE THAT SOMEBODY COMES
AGAIN TO THE HOSPITAL OR IS IN
ANOTHER SETTING AND THIS IDEA
THAT- WE HAVE TO START FROM
SCRATCH EVERY IME. DOESN'T
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND THEN WE
HAVE O TAKE INTO ACCOUNT PRIOR
ATTEMPTS IN PRIOR WORK TO MAKE
SURE THAT IF IT'S APPROPRIATE TO
GO DOWN A CONSERVATORSHIP
PATHWAY THE BIG CARE COURT
EXPERIENCES AT LEAST ACCOUNTED
FOR SO THAT PRESUMPTION IS
REALLY ABOUT ENSURING THAT WE
TAKE WHAT WE'VE LEARNED IN THE
PROCESS THERE WERE HONEST AND
TRUE ABOUT THAT BUT THERE WE ARE
DON'T FORGET IT AS WE MOVE
FORWARD TO TRY TO DELIVER AND
SERVE INDIVIDUALS. AND OTHER
SETTINGS IF THAT'S. THE ONLY
TOOLS THAT WE HAVE LEFT FOR US.
WELL FOR YOU OF THE THREE OF YOU

I WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR WORKING WITH OUR

TWENTY ONE MORE THAN ONE POINT
EIGHT MILLION HOMEOWNERS WERE
BEHIND ON THEIR MORTGAGES MANY
OF THESE HOMEOWNERS OWN RENTAL
PROPERTY WHEN FEDERAL MORTGAGE
FOR BANDS AND THEY MAY BE FORCED
TO REMOVE THE RENTAL UNTS FROM
THE MARKET SELL THEM IN ORDER TO
AVOID FORECLOSURE SB EIGHT FOUR
SEVEN ESTABLISHES A GRANT
PROGRAM ADMINISTERED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THAT
ALLOWS FOR DISTRIBUTION OF
FUNDS. TO HOMEOWNERS APPLICANTS. UPON APPROPRIATION BY THE
LEGISLATURE. THE CALIFORNIA
MORTGAGE PROGRAM USES FEDERAL
HOMEOWNER ASSISTANCE FUNDS TO
HELP HOME HOMEOWNERS GET. CAUGHT
UP ON THEIR HOUSING PAYMENTS BUT
IT DOESN'T INCLUDE HOMEOWNERS
WHO HAVE RENTAL PROPERTIES. THE
FEDERAL EMERGENCY RENTAL
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM PROVIDED FIVE
POINT TWO BILLION TO CALIFORNIA
TO PAY RENT FOR SOME LOW INCOME
TENANTS WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PAY THE RENT DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC. BUT IT DOES NOT
INCLUDE ALL RENTERS. WE DO HAVE
TENANTS IN CALIFORNIA WERE
BEHIND ON THEIR RENT BUT WILL
NOT RECEIVE GOVERNMENT
ASSISTANCE BECAUSE WHAT. THEY
MAKE FALLS JUST ABOVE THE
EXISTING THRESHOLD FOR THOSE
ELIGIBLE FOR THE FEDERAL
EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM. THIS LEAVE THE OWNERS
OF THE RENTAL PROPERTY WHO
SOMETIMES ARE STILL PAYING OFF
THE MORTGAGE ON THAT PROPERTY
STRUGGLING THEMSELVES. SB EIGHT

GAP FOR TENANTS AND HOMEOWNERS

GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS OF MY NAME IS ON THE
SHINE I'M HERE WITH MY HUSBAND

HOME IN ALAMEDA COUNTY AND HAD A
HORRENDOUS EXPERIENCE WITH
TENANTS WHO REFUSED TO PAY RENT
FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS WHY THEY
WERE SUBLETTING OUR PROPERTY ON
AIRBNB AGAINST THE LEASE
AGREEMENT. ALAMEDA COUNTY'S
LOCAL MORATORIUM PROHIBITED
EVERY ACTION EVEN WHEN TENANTS
HAVE BEEN DEFRAUDING THEIR
LANDLORDS AND THEY REFUSED- ANY
RENTAL ASSISTANCE AS WELL. WE
ORIGINALLY PURCHASED OUR HOME TO
BE OUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE. WE
ONLY DECIDED TO RENT IT OUT Y.
V. WERE- COMPLETING OUR OWN
RENTAL OBLIGATION TO OUR LAND
LINE. OUR PLAN WAS TO MOVE INTO
OUR HOME RIGHT AFTER. TO OUR
HORRIFIC SURPRISE OUR TENANTS
CLEAN HARDSHIP STOPPING RENT-
EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE MAKING
MONEY OFF OUR PROPERTY BY
RENTING IT OUT ON AIRBNB. AS OF
THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH THE AIRBNB
GUESTS REFUSED TO MOVE OUT AND
THE ORDERS NO TENANTS IN P.
ABANDONED THE HOME AFTER A
DISPUTE WITH THE AIRBNB GUESS.
ALAMEDA COUNTY'S LOCAL
MORATORIUM PROHIBITED US FROM
EVICTING TENANTS AND THE AIRBNB
GUESTS AND EVEN IN THIS
SITUATION. BY THE TIME THE
AIRBNB GUEST ABANDONED OUR HOME
B. HAD BEEN FINANCIALLY AND
EMOTIONALLY DRAINED. WE ENDED UP
WITH NOT ONLY RENTAL LOSSES THAT
AMOUNT TO FIFTY K. BUT ALSO A
HOUSE THAT WAS COMPLETELY
TRASHED. IT COST AS AN
ADDITIONAL FIFTY GET TO MAKE IT
HABITABLE. OUR FAMILY MY HUSBAND
AND I WE IMMIGRATED HERE WITH A
FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS WORKED VERY
HARD. SAVED UP FOR A FINANCIALLY
SECURE FUTURE FOR US AND OUR
KIDS. WOULD BE ENDED UP HOUSING
PEOPLE FOR FREE OF FOR OVER TWO
YEARS AND BEARING HUGE LOSSES

TWO WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
BRIAN AUGUSTA AND TINO SALAS MR
GUSTER. GOOD MORNING SHARON
MEMBERS BY A GUEST ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL
ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION- THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS
YEAR OF OUR OUR CONCERNS ON THIS
BILL. FIRST ONE OUR KNOWLEDGE
THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN
THE ANALYSIS AND- IT SOUNDS LIKE
ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS ARE
FORTHCOMING FROM THE AUTHOR'S
OFFICE AND SO I WILL NEED TO. WE
NEED TO REVIEW THOSE AND REVIEW
OUR POSITION IN LIGHT OF THAT
SIZE THAT STANDS NOW OUR
POSITION ON THE BILL AND PRINT
IS THAT WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT
CONCERNS WITH THE BILL AS ALL
EXPLAIN AND I ONE OF KNOWLEDGE.
OF THE HARDSHIP THAT THE TWO
PRIOR WITNESSES HAVE DESCRIBED I
THINK THE REAL QUESTION HERE IS
WHAT PROGRAM ARE WE GONNA CREATE
THE STATE LEVEL. THAT THAT
ADDRESSES. AND THAT'S IN THE
CONTEXT OF THIS BILL BECAUSE
JUST TO. OR SO WEEKS AGO THIS
COMMITTEE HEARD AB TWENTY ONE
SEVENTY NINE AND THAT'S MISTER
GRAYSON AND BUSYWORK SPELL WHICH
ESSENTIALLY SIGNAL THE END OF-
THE STATE'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE
RENTAL HOUSING- ASSISTANCE- THE
RAFT PROGRAM THAT WE'RE BRINGING
THAT PROGRAM TO AN END AND
THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION IN
THIS COMMITTEE ABOUT THE
IMPLICATIONS OF THAT THERE IS
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE
IMPLICATIONS. OF A OF A
BUREAUCRACY THAT IS HANDING OUT
HOURS AND WE HAVE NOT SOLVED THE
MANY BUREAUCRATIC HEADACHES
ABOUT TENANTS AND LANDLORDS ARE
EXPERIENCING. AND WE ALSO HAVE A
LOT OF IMPLICATIONS NUMBERS ARE
UP ON THE HIGHEST NOW DISCUSSED
ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS FOR
VULNERABLE TENANTS WHO ARE GOING
TO BE LEFT BEHIND WE HAVE
DISPROPORTION OVER SPANISH
SPEAKING. ARE FOLKS WHO NEVER
GOT THROUGH THE DOOR AND THE
PROGRAM IS NOW CLOSER OF
DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER OF
ELDERLY FOLKS WHO NEVER GOT
THROUGH THE DOOR WE HAVE A LOT
OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
BUT THE STATE HAS SIGNALED THAT
THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THAT
PROGRAM. AND WE HAD ARGUED AS
MANY OF YOU HAVE THAT WE SHOULD
EXTEND THAT PROGRAM WHICH EXTEND
ITS PROTECTIONS WE SHOULD PUT
MORE STATE MONEY BEHIND IT AND
WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
THAT ASSISTANCE BUT- FOR TWENTY
ONE SEVENTY NINE WITH THE ANSWER
THAT AND WE HAVEN'T DONE THAT SO
NOW TODAY WE'RE HERE TALKING
ABOUT STANDING UP A NEW PROGRAM
RELY ON THAT SAME BROKEN. I
SHOULD SAY TROUBLED. RECEIVE
THAT STRUGGLING AUGUST YOU'D GO
WRAP IT UP. THE USER. I WILL
JUST- NOTIFY THAT. ARE WE FEEL
LIKE THIS IN. WE INTERNAL OF
PROBLEMS WITH THE BILL EVERY AT
VOTE DON'T ANSWER QUESTION FOR
TENANTS TO EXPERT. HARDSHIP AND
IS THIS WHERE WE WERE FOCUS.
THOSE ALL- I WILL WITH MY
COLLEAGUES TO ON SOME OF THE
OTHER POINT. THAT I. AT THE
MOMENT WE REMAIN OPPOSED THANK
YOU SIR. THANK YOU MISTER
CUSTOM. ALL RIGHT. OF THIS
RESULT. NOW I'M NOT GONNA TAKE
THIS OFFICE GETS STUCK IN MY
HEARING. WELL I HAD THE PLEASURE
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING TRI
MEMBERS TO NORTH DALLAS WESTERN
CENTER ON LAW AND POVERTY
RESPECTFULLY HAVE TO OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED. WE WOULD LIKE TO
ALIGN OUR COMMENTS WITH THOSE OF
BRAIN ACOSTA AND I WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO EXTEND MY SYMPATHIES IN
MY EMPATHY IS. TO BE LANDLORDS
HERE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THOSE
PARTICULAR HARDSHIPS.
UNFORTUNATELY WE DO HAVE TO
OPPOSE THE BILL THAT'S CURRENTLY
IN PRINT BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT BRAND REYES BUT ALSO
BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE- YOUR
TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT WE'RE
SEEING SOME OF WHICH INCLUDE.
EXPANDING AN UNSPECIFIED AMOUNT
OF STATE RESOURCES. TO MAKE THE
LANDLORDS HOLD WHILE NOT. GOING
WITH THE GOAL OF THE EMERGENCY
RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM WHICH
IS TO STABILIZE AND KEEP PENDANT
HOUSE. WE ALSO HAVE- SOME
CONCERNS WITH- SOME OF THE MEANS
TEST THAT I BELIEVE ARE GOING TO
BE ADDRESSED AND SOME OF THE
COMMENTS AND SO WE'LL HAVE TO
TAKE A STRONGER LOOK AT THE
AMENDMENTS TO SEE IF THEY ALIGN-
BUT REALLY THE GOAL WITH THE
EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM THAT THIS BODY HAS
ALREADY DISCUSSED WAS TO KEEP
TENANTS HOUSE WHILE ALSO.
PROVIDING THE ASSISTANCE FOR THE
MOM AND POP LANDLORDS THAT
ACTUALLY NEED THE ASSISTANCE THE
CURRENT WAY THAT THIS BILL IS
WRITTEN IT DOES NOT HAVE THAT
SAME GOAL IN MIND. AND SO WITH
THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THANK YOU
pOPPOSITION TO SB EIGHT FOUR
SEVEN OR PRESENT HERE IN THE
HEARING ROOM SEEING NO ONE
APPROACHING THE MICROPHONE LET'S
TURN TO THE PHONE LINES

COMMITTEE QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE
MEMBERS CENTER GONZALEZ. INSULAR
DRAW SO YES THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND THINK YOU- CENTER HER
TADO FOR PRESENTATION- JUST A
COUPLE QUICK QUESTIONS- I
UNDERSTAND YOU TO TAKE AN
AMENDMENT THE LAST POINT OF THE
AMENDMENT IN THE ANALYSIS THE
STATE'S THAT. PREVENTS THE
RECIPIENT OF A GRANT UNDER THE
PROGRAM FOR A PERIOD TO BE
DETERMINED FROM PROCEEDING TO
EVICT THE TENANT WITHOUT AN OUT
FAULTS. BECAUSE IT'S IT DOESN'T
SEEM LIKE THAT'S- MAYBE THERE
CAN PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION THAT THAT THAT'S
SUFFICIENT ENOUGH FOR THE
OPPOSITION BUT- CAN YOU TELL ME
WHERE THOSE DISCUSSIONS ARE AND-
WHERE WE'RE AT WE'RE OUT WITH
THAT SPECIFIC. AMENDMENT AND
WHAT ELSE MIGHT BE TO COME. IN
AND CHECK. YES THANK YOU THANK
YOU FOR THE BUT THE REAL
QUESTION AND I'LL JUST SAY THAT-
TO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE-
AMENDMENTS THAT WE'VE- WORKED
WITH THIS COMMITTEE IT TO
ADDRESS THE- CONCERNS OF THE
OPPOSITION- BUT I WILL. ALLOW
OUR EXPERT WITNESS TO COME UP TO
PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENT
ON. THANK YOU. DISCOVER THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION I THINK
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IS TO
FIND A AN APPROPRIATE TIME
PERIOD IN WHICH THE LANDLORD
WOULD NOT A VET. IF THEY HAVE
RECEIVED GRANT DOLLARS- WE
TALKED ABOUT THIS JUST A FEW
DAYS BEFORE THE ANALYSIS NEED TO
BE COMPLETE SO WE ARE WORKING
WITH THE OPPOSITION TO SEE WHAT.
AMOUNT OF TIME IS FAIR WITH
OBVIOUSLY THE SITUATION HERE WE
HAVE A TENANT WHO ABSOLUTELY
REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE- DIDN'T
TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS ABILITY
SO WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A
DISAGREEMENT ON HOW LONG THAT
CAN CONTINUE TO STAY. SO WE WILL
WORK OUT THAT TIME PERIOD THOUGH
AND THAT IS PART OF THE-
COMMITMENT GOING FORWARD. THANK
YOU Q. AND THEN- ANOTHER
QUESTION ON THE STATE DAHLER
ASKED BECAUSE I DON'T SEE AN
APPROPRIATION HERE BUT WHAT DOES
THAT LOOK LIKE AT THIS POINT-
WITH. THE DISCUSSIONS BEEN
AROUND THAT- THE DISCUSSIONS
HAVE BEEN AROUND OBVIOUSLY WOULD
BE A BUDGET REQUEST- WE HAVE
DONE SOME INTERNAL POLLING JUST
AMONGST OUR MEMBERS WE KNOW THAT
WERE ABOUT. A HUNDRED MILLION-
FROM OWNERS AND THESE ARE SMALL
LANDLORDS BECAUSE THEY WILL BE
PRIORITIZED WHO HAVE NOT BEEN
PAID- I THINK THE CHALLENGE FOR
US IS. THAT THE STATE MADE IT
VERY EASY FOR INDIVIDUALS TO
STATE THAT THEY COULDN'T PAY THE
TENANTS COULDN'T PAID SO.
LEGISLATION OR THE LOSS SAID
SIMPLY TELL US YOU CAN'T PAY AND
THAT'S WHAT HAS HAPPENED NOW
THAT THE TENANTS HAVE TO.
DEMONSTRATE THEIR INABILITY OF
PAY WE'RE FINDING OUT THEY
CAN'T. SO FOR WHAT- SO WE ARE
WORKING. I KNOW WITH THE SENATOR
ON A BUDGET ASK- I WILL SEE WHAT
THE BUDGET COMMITTEE. WILL ALLOW
THANK YOU MISS CARP ALL RIGHT.
THE QUESTIONS SENT SERVICE ALSO
SERVED- SENATOR RUSSELL THANK
YOU- MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS
ABOUT. SOME AS ONE OF THE
WITNESSES SAID- WE ENDED THE
RENTAL HOUSING ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM AND THAT WAS FOR. OUR
LOWER INCOME- INDIVIDUALS- WE
ENDED IT AND THEY'RE STILL OUT
IN OUR STATE. PROBABLY THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE FOR LOW INCOME WHO
JUST CANNOT PAY THE OUTSTANDING
RENT- A DEBT- IN HERE WE'RE
BEING ASKED TO FULLY REIMBURSE-
A JUDGMENT AGAINST A TENANT. WHO
HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY- AND
USING DOLLARS YOU KNOW OUR FUND
DOLLARS TO PAY THE JUDGMENT
AGAINST SOMEONE WHO HAS THE
ABILITY TO PAY IT'S NOT BECAUSE
THEY'RE LOW INCOME. SO EITHER
HOW YOU RESPOND TO THAT BUT
THAT'S MY ONE OF MY BIGGEST
CONCERNS OF COURSE UP THE WAY
THAT I SEE IT IS THAT WE HAVE
SMALL A RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS
THAT. OUTSIDE OF THEIR CONTROL
THAT'S THAT REALLY IT'S NOT
THEIR FAULT THAT. THEY'RE IN THE
SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE
FINANCIALLY BURDEN COULD LOSE
THEIR HOMES OR THEIR RENTAL
PROPERTY WHERE THE TENANT COULD
END UP LOSING RIGHT OBVIOUSLY
THERE'S THERE SEEMS TO BE. AN
ISSUE HERE- IN THE STATE WHERE.
THERE'S PEOPLE THAT ARE TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF. YOU KNOW PERHAPS
THE RESOURCES THAT ARE BEING PUT
OUT THERE AND THE TENANTS IN
NEED THE MOST HELP ARE NOT
GETTING THE HELP THAT THEY NEED%
AND THE LANDLORDS THAT NEEDS THE
HELP TO KEEP THE TENANTS THAT
NEED THE HELP OR THE NEED TO
HOUSING T STAY AND ARE NOT
GETTING THE HELP AND SUPPORT
THAT THEY NEED. EITHER SO. I YOU
KNOW I SEE THAT IT I SEE THIS
AS- IF WE DON'T PROVIDE. SUPPORT
ODD TO THE SMALL LANDLORDS- IF
WE COULD CREATE OF A WORSE
SITUATION AND THE HOUSING MARKET
FOR TENANTS BECAUSE IF THEY LOSE
THE HOME WAS GONNA COME IN AND
PURCHASE THAT HOME IS IT GOING
TO BE SOME HEDGE FUND IS IT
GOING TO BE. AN INVESTOR THAT IS
JUST YOU KNOW WARSOP EITHER
PEOPLE BUT- INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES THAT YOU'D- LIKE LIKE
MY PARENTS IMMIGRATED FROM
MEXICO OR HAVE A STORY THAT'S
THAT IT'S NOT ONE THAT'S
INVESTOR TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THE SYSTEM THEY'RE STRUGGLING
JUST AS MUCH AS THE TENANTS ARE
BUT THE GO HEAD BIG IT'- THEIR
VERY MUCH INTERCONNECTED AND IF.
AND THEY'RE LOSING OUT BASED ON
ON A SYSTEM THAT HAS FAILED THEM
AND ALSO FAILED THE TENDED TO BE
AT THE MOST. ALL RIGHT OTHER
QUESTION SEEING NO OTHER
QUESTIONS HERE FROM COMMITTEE
MEMBERS- IS THERE MOTION. SET
SET HERTZBERG MOVES THE BILL ALL
RIGHT- BEFORE WE CLOSE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY

DESIGNED TO SUPPORT TENANTS WAS

OF THE LANDLORD. MISS DON'T I

YOURS THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN. FOR HEARING
THIS BILL TODAY AND FOR GETTING
THIS EXPEDITED SO ARE MY WITNESS
CAN STILL BE HERE- HERE THIS
BILL TODAY FOR MEN AS WELL AS A
FEW OTHERS- AND SO FAR THIS YEAR
COMMITTEES I'VE TRIED TO
PRESENT. A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
SYSTEM CONTINUE OF CARE. PACKAGE
OF BILLS. SO AGAIN THIS CARE
THIS THIS BILL IS NOT IN
ISOLATION FROM ANY OF THE OTHER
BILLS. WE'VE BEEN PRESENTING WE
THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
ENTIRE CONTINUUM AND NOT JUST
LOOKING AT ONE COMPONENT IN
ISOLATION- THIS IS HAPPENING
ALSO IN HISTORIC BUDGET
INVESTMENT- JUST GIVE ME. A CALL
BECAUSE MAYBE WE TALK MORE ABOUT
INVESTMENT SHOULD BE BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH IN. TRACTION WORK FORCE.
AS WELL AS HOUSING- AND I THINK
IT'S WE ALL AGREE THAT WERE IN
THE MIDST OF A CRISIS I DON'T
NEED TO KEEP ON HARPING ON THAT-
BUT WE ALSO KNOW IN IN THAT AND
THE ONE PART OF OUR SYSTEM THAT.
SOMETIMES IS MORE CONTROVERSIAL
THAN OTHERS IS THE- THE LPS. AND
I JOINED OUR SENATE COLLEAGUES
LAST YEAR WHEN THEY DID A- IT
WAS ON IT AND THEN- PRESENTATION
OF SAID AUDIT BY THE STATE
AUDITOR. AND I WAS ABLE TO-
ENGAGE IN THAT- INTO THINGS THAT
WE TOOK AWAY FROM THE STATE
AUDIT WAS. ONE WE NEED TO MORE
ABOUT HOW OUR SYSTEM IS WORKING.
AND YOU HEARD ME PRESENT A BILL
LOOKING AT DATA GATHERING A
COUPLE WEEKS AGO IN THIS
COMMITTEE. AND TO THERE APPEARS
TO BE A VARIATION FROM COUNTY TO
COUNTY ON HOW WE TERM AND LOOK
AT. DANGEROUS AND. DANGEROUS
MISSING GRAVE DISABILITY. SO
WHEN CARE IS NOT AVAILABLE
PEOPLE ARE OFTEN. LOCKED UP IN
JAILS- DID. CORONER'S OFFICES-
ABUSED ON THE STREETS- AND END
UP IN OUR HOSPITAL ROOMS AND
TAKING UP. A LARGE AMOUNT OF
TIME WITH OUR PUBLIC SAFETY
FIRST RESPONDERS WHO ARE OUT
THERE. RESPONDING SB FOURTEEN
SIXTEEN WOULD ALLOW FOR
INVOLUNTARY CARE WITH ALL OF THE
EXISTING DUE PROCESS PROTECTIONS
IS SOMEONE IS SO. MENTALLY ILL
AT THE POINT OF THEIR VALUE TO
THE CANNOT PROVIDE FOR THEIR OWN
MEDICAL CARE. TO THE POINT THAT
THEY ARE AT SUBSTANTIAL. RISK OF
BODILY HARM. DANGEROUS WORSENING
OF ANY RELATED SERIOUS PHYSICAL
ILLNESS. OR SIGNIFICANT
PSYCHIATRIC. DETERIORATION RIGHT
SO THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU SEE
SOMETIMES AND YOU THINK SOMEBODY
SHOULD DO SOMETHING. COULD BE
SITTING IN THEIR OWN FECES COULD
BE BANGING THEIR HEAD AGAINST
THE WALL COULD BE AS I'VE-
REGULARLY HAVE TO CALL NINE ONE
ONE ON MY WAY TO WORK DRIVING
THROUGH BOTH. DOWNTOWN STOCKTON
IN DOWNTOWN SACRAMENTO THAT
SOMEBODY IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
ROAD- NOT NOT FULLY CLOTHED- IN
CLEARLY TO SPEAKING TO SOMEBODY
OTHER THAN ANYBODY WHO'S AROUND
THEM IN TRAFFIC- IS THAT WHAT WE
WANT FOR PEOPLE AND I THINK THAT
REALLY COMES DOWN TO THAT IS. IS
THAT OKAY BECAUSE SOMEBODY CAN
SAY. I CAN SLEEP RIGHT HERE ON
THE SIDEWALK OR I'M NOT GOING TO
ACTIVELY KILL MYSELF RIGHT NOW
WE CLEARLY THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO
MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR OWN.
MEDICAL CARE. IS THIS BILL THE
SOLUTION. NO IT'S NOT- BUT IT IS
ANOTHER PART OF THE COMPONENT
AGAIN WE'RE TALKING VERY
NARROWLY- IN ADDITION TO FOOD
CLOTHING SHELTER. IF YOU ARE AT
THE RISK OF NOT BEING ABLE YOUR
ILLNESS NOT AND NOT JUST. YOU
KNOW YOUR LIFESTYLE OR- YOUR
POVERTY LEVEL OR NOTHING LIKE
THAT. BUT IF YOU'RE MENTAL
ILLNESS. IS SUCH THAT YOU CANNOT
PROVIDE FOR YOUR OWN MEDICAL.
CARE TO THE POINT THAT YOU ARE
AT RISK OF SUBSTANTIAL BODILY
HARM. DANGEROUS WORSENING OF ANY
RELATED SERIOUS PHYSICAL
ILLNESS. OR SIGNIFICANT
PSYCHIATRIC. DETERIORATION
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
FOLKS. THE OPS SYSTEM HAS
SIGNIFICANT GUARDRAILS THAT WE
PUT IN IS NOT INTENDED AS A TOOL
TO TARGET PEOPLE IN POVERTY AND
THE WHOLE POINT. IS TO PREVENT
THAT I KNOW THIS A DIFFICULT
ISSUE AND I KNOW THAT WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT
THIS ABOUT FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS
AND WE ALL AGREE ON FUNDAMENTAL
FREEDOMS AND PART OF A WHO WE
ARE. BUT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN
SOMEBODY'S MENTAL HEALTH
CONDITION. PUTS THEM IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY ARE UNABLE
TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS IN A
SAFE. MANNER AND THEN WE HAVE TO
DO SOMETHING- TO BE ABLE TO HELP
THEM- WE ARE WORKING ON ALL OF
THE OF THE HOUSING.
INFRASTRUCTURE THE- WORK FORCE-
AS WE SPEAK AND THIS HAS TO BE
IN CONJUNCTION WITH IT. WITH ME
HERE TODAY TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT

CAROL ROSS ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
OF STOCKTON SUPPORT THANK YOU
ALL RIGHT- CANNELLA STIR THE
OPPOSITION I HAVE TWO PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION MATT
GALLAGHER AND COMPUTER- I SEE
MISS PETERSON APPROACHING THE
MICROPHONE. YES GOOD AFTERNOON
MY NAME IS KIM PETERSON I AM AN
ATTORNEY AT DISABILITY RIGHTS
CALIFORNIA AND I FOCUS ON LEGAL
ISSUES RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INVITING
US TO BE HERE TODAY I'M JUST A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY BACKGROUND
BEFORE COMING TO THE R. C. I
SPENT TEN YEARS REPRESENTING ON
PEOPLE- WHO ARE INVOLUNTARILY
HELD ON FIFTY TO FIFTY HOLDS AND
THEIR CERTIFICATION REVIEW
HEARINGS SO. I AM VERY FAMILIAR
WITH THE PROCESS OF LPS AND
EXACTLY WHAT THE LEGAL PROCESS
ENTAILS AND WHAT IT IS LIKE TO
BE. WHAT IT IS LIKE TO OBSERVE
PEOPLE BEING ON HOLD IN ACUTE
INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNITS. THE
AUTHORS AND SPONSOR THE OTHER
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL STATE THAT
EXPANDING THE DEFINITION OF
GRAVELY DISABLED AS NECESSARY TO
PROVIDE CARE AND DIGNITY TO THE
MOST DIFFICULT TO REACH
CALIFORNIANS. AND IN TURN STOP
THE CYCLE OF HOMELESSNESS
INCARCERATION AND
HOSPITALIZATION NOT SO MANY
PEOPLE FACE. HOWEVER EXPANDING
THE GOVERNMENT'S ABILITY TO
INVOLUNTARILY DETAIN PEOPLE WILL
DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE
UNDERLYING SOCIETAL CAUSES OF
THIS CYCLE. WITHOUT REQUIRING
THE STATE AND THE COUNTY IS TO
ACTUALLY MAKE AVAILABLE HOUSING
AND INTENSIVE SERVICES THAT
PEOPLE NEED UPON DISCHARGE FROM
SHORT TERM LPS HOLDS AND
CONSERVATORSHIP. THE CYCLE WILL
PERSIST. AS DISCUSSED IN OUR
LETTER A RECENT UCLA STUDY
SHOWED THAT PLACING ON HOUSE
PEOPLE ON LPS HOLDS LEADS TO
LONGER HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
PEOPLE WHO ARE HOUSE AT THE TIME
THAT THEIR WHOLE BEGAN. AND ALSO
LEADS TO A GREATER THAN 50%
CHANCE THAT A PERSON WILL REMAIN
ON HOW IS THAT THE TIME OF
DISCHARGE. I HAVE SEEN THIS
FIRST HAND IN MY PREVIOUS WORK I
REPRESENTED DOZENS AND DOZENS
AND DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ON
HOW IS AND PLACED ON LPS HOLDS
WITH THE HOPE OF GETTING. WITH
SOMEONE HOPE OF GETTING THEM
INTO TREATMENT BUT THEY WIND UP
LINGERING IN THE HOSPITAL FOR
VERY LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND
THEN DISCHARGED BACK INTO
HOMELESSNESS. IN COMPARISON A
RECENT UCSF STUDY SHOWS THAT
LINKING ON HOUSE HIGH UTILIZE
THERE'S A PUBLIC SERVICES TO
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
WITH INTENSIVE CASE MANAGEMENT
SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES
PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY ROOM
VISITS AND INCREASES THE RATE OF
INCREASE OF OUTPATIENT MENTAL
HEALTH. VISITS AS WELL. THIS
STUDY SHOWS A VOLUNTARY
COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES AND
SUPPORTS CAN KEEP SOME OF OUR
STATE'S MOST VULNERABLE
RESIDENTS HOUSING GAINS WITHOUT
RESTRICTING THEIR LIBERTY. THANK
YOU MISS PETERSON IF YOU COULD
WRAP UP YES- I WOULD JUST LIKE
TO NOTE THAT- CALIFORNIA AS WELL
DOES NOT HAVE THE DATA TO
SUPPORT EXPANDING INVOLUNTARY
TREATMENT IN THE STATE AND ANY
EXPANSION. OF INVOLUNTARY
TREATMENT IN CALIFORNIA SHOULD
BE SUPPORTED BY DATA AND SHOULD
NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THAT DATA IS
AVAILABLE THANK YOU SO MUCH
OKAY. ODD NEXT MR GALLAGHER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
MATTHEW GALLAGHER ATTORNEY
FORMER PROSECUTOR. ON BEHALF OF
CAL VOICES. THE ISSUE BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE TODAY IS REALLY
OUTLINED ON PAGES THIRTEEN
THROUGH SIXTEEN OF THE ANALYSIS
WHICH IS. IS SB FOURTEEN SIXTEEN
AS DRAFTED UNCONSTITUTIONALLY
VAGUE AND OVERBROAD. WE BELIEVE
IT IS. WE LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC
LANGUAGE IN THE STATUTE AS
DRAFTED. THE QUESTION IS WILL
PROPOSE CONSERVANCY BE ABLE TO
READ THE STATUTE AND UNDERSTAND
THAT. WE DON'T BELIEVE THEY
WILL. WE LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE.
SUBSTANTIAL BODILY HARM.
DANGEROUS WORSENING OF ANY
CONTINENT SERIOUS PHYSICAL
ILLNESS OR SIGNIFICANT
PSYCHIATRIC DETERIORATION. THESE
ARE NOT THE FINE WEAGLE
STANDARDS THEY'RE NOT DEFINED IN
THE STATUTE THEY'RE NOT DEFINED
ANY APPELLATE CASE LAW. IN QUITE
SIMPLY INDIVIDUAL SUBJECT
CONSERVATIVE CONSERVATORSHIP FOR
OPS HOLDS WILL NOT KNOW WHAT
THESE WHAT CONDUCT OR FOR
BEHAVIOR. THIS LANGUAGE
PROHIBITS OR ALLOWS. AND WHAT'S
MORE CONCERNING IS THAT JURORS
AND JUDGES WILL NOT KNOW HOW TO
APPLY THESE LEGAL STANDARDS. SO
ASSUMING AN INDIVIDUAL IS
SUBJECT TO HELP YES HOLD
EVENTUALLY MAKES HER WAY TO A
CONSERVATORSHIP AND THEY OFFER A
TRIAL YOUR WITH THE JUDGE OR
JURY. JUDGES INJURIES WILL NOT
KNOW HOW TO APPLY THESE LEGAL
STANDARDS IT'LL CREATE
INCONSISTENCIES. OF COMPLETE
LACK UNIFORMITY IN CASES WILL BE
DECIDED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS
WITHOUT ANY CONSISTENCY. THAT WE
BELIEVE RUNS A PHALLIC DUE
PROCESS AND CONSTANTLY
CONSTITUTIONALLY PRECISE SIZE
WELL SETTLED LEGAL PRECEDENT.
AND AS I CLOSED I AND WITH THIS
. PROCEDURALS PROTECTIONS OR A
COLD COMFORT. WHEN THE
UNDERLYING SUBSTANCE OF THE LAW
IS OVERBROAD. THANK YOU MR
GALLAGHER WE LOOK FORWARD YOUR
SUGGESTIONS AS TO HOW TO NARROW
THE LANGUAGE ALL RIGHT OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION WHO ARE PRESENT HERE

ALREADY THANK OU VERY MUCH ALL
RIGHT LET'S BRING IT BACK HERE
TO. THE HEARING ROOM QUESTIONS.
COMMENTS NO QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS- CENTER. SURFBOARDS.
SECOND TIME'S A CHARM SO. OF.
NINE SIX FIVE FIVE IT TENDS TO-
TO DECIDE TO ALLOW WHAT WOULD
OTHERWISE BE HEARSAY AND I'M
JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND. WHAT
IS THE COMPELLING NEED FOR THESE
MEDICAL RECORDS TO BE TO BE
GIVEN THAT LEVEL OF PROTECTION.
WHY WHY CAN'T WHY CAN'T-
INDIVIDUALS BE BROUGHT IN- UNDER
OATH THURSDAY IN SOME OTHER
FASHION. THAT WOULD ALLOW THEIR
TESTIMONY TO BE AS FORMULAIC AS
ANY OTHER TESTIMONY. I CAN I CAN
MAKE IT BETTER I WAS I WAS A
MILITANT MR MAS ANSWER THAT. YES
HAPPY TO LEE AND YOU MUST HEAR-
FROM THE SAN FRANCISCO CITY
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. SO THAT IS
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS A
REALLY ALIGNING THE PRACTICE OF
MEDICINE WITH THE WAY THESE
HEARINGS ARE CONDUCTED AND WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT ALLOWING
PHYSICIAN EXPERT WITNESSES TO BE
ABLE TO EXPLAIN DURING THEIR
TESTIMONY WHAT THOSE POSITIONS
HAVE RELIED UPON IN MAKING THEIR
DECISION REGARDING SOMEONE'S
TREATMENT PLAN OR WHETHER
SOMEONE IS GRAVELY DISABLED. AND
E. EIGHTY PHYSICIAN IS RELYING
ON MEDICAL RECORDS REALLY HAVE
TO RELY ON MEDICAL RECORDS IN
ORDER TO PROVIDE TREATMENT AND
WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
EXPLAIN- THE INFORMATION THAT
THAT POSITION READS. AND THAT
THAT THAT POSITION IS RELYING ON
RIGHT NOW THAT IS NOT PERMITTED-
THAT- IS THE AFFECT POST- PEOPLE
B. SANCHEZ. SO YOU HAVE A DOCTOR
WHO'S RELYING ON VERY- CREDIBLE
AND- INFORMATION THAT WAS
PROVIDED AND DOCUMENTED WITH THE
UP MOST OF CARE BY OTHER MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS AND THAT DOCTORS
NOT ALLOWED. PLAINTIFF DOES. IN
COURT AND THE RESULT OF THAT IS-
YOU KNOW REALLY HAS THE EFFECT
OF THE COURT NOT HAVING THE
COMPLETE INFORMATION ABOUT AN
INDIVIDUAL'S CONDITION. THE
PROBLEM WITH THE- YEAH IT IS ONE
CLARIFY SO IMAGINE. AN EXPERT
WITNESSES HE'S CALLED IN TO
TESTIFY IN AN EXPERT WITNESS
IDENTIFIES- MAYBE YOU HEAR SHE
WAS PRESIDING POSITION IN SOME
CAPACITY. RELYING ON. THE
MEDICAL RECORDS TO EXPLAIN THEIR
INDIVIDUAL RATIONALE FOR HOW
THEY ENGAGE IN A COURSE OF
TREATMENT OR OVERSIGHT. THAT IS
WITHIN THEIR PURVIEW TO EXPLAIN
WHAT IN HOW AND WHY THEY WERE
DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING BUT
IN MY UNDERSTANDING THAT. THEY
CAN TAKE THAT ONE STEP FURTHER
IN SAY THAT DR JONES WAS RELYING
ON DR SMITH'S- REPRESENTATION IN
THIS REPORT BECAUSE HE THAT
DOCTOR JONES BELIEVES THAT
DOCTOR SMITH WAS MAKING THE
FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS BASED ON.
CERTAIN PRESUMPTIONS. IS THAT IS
THAT FAIR TO SAY. WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT IS A SPECIFIC CASE
SPECIFIC INFORMATION ABOUT
TREATMENT HISTORY FOR EXAMPLE OR
MEDICATION AND IF THERE WAS A
SAY AND OUTPATIENT PSYCHIATRIST
THIS WOULD BE THE MOST COMMON
EXAMPLE IN MY VIEW AN OUTPATIENT
PSYCHIATRIST THAT HAS BEEN
TREATING AN INDIVIDUAL FOR A
PERIOD OF TIME- TREATING THIS
INDIVIDUALS CHRONIC. ILLNESS AND
HAS BEEN CHARTING THE TRUE STORY
OF TREATMENT AND THE- HE AND
KIND OF THING THAT THE KERR
EITHER THE CURRENT TREATER WHO'S
TESTIFYING OR PERHAPS IT'S A
FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIST THAT'S
TESTIFYING THE NON TREAT- COULD
READ THE INFORMATION AND-
PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION AS PART
OF. HIS OR HER TESTIMONY THEY'RE
NOT LISTING TO THE POOREST OF
THE AMAZED. IN THE RECORD THERE
SIMPLY ATTESTING TO WHAT THEY
RELIED UPON FROM THE RECORD.
THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. WHAT
SEMI CASKEY PICKING UP ON WHAT-
CENTER BORCHERS JUST TALKING
ABOUT THE JURY OR THE JUDGE
STILL IS ABLE TO WEIGH THE
PROBATIVE VALUE OF THAT EVIDENCE
THE EVIDENCE ALL WE'RE DOING IS
SAYING THE EVIDENCE COMES IN BUT
THE PROBATIVE VALUE WHETHER
IT'S- ONE OR A HUNDRED. ARE YOU
. OKAY ABSOLUTELY RIGHT THAT THE
YOU KNOW THE FACT FINDER IS
ALWAYS PERMITTED TO WAY SORT OF
THE CREDIBILITY OF THE EVIDENCE
BEING PROVIDED AND THE
CREDIBILITY OF THE EXPERT
WITNESS FOR THAT MATTER.ALL
RIGHT OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS
CONCERNS SEEING NON. RIGHT SENT
SCISSOR MOTION SOME OF THE BILL
CYNICAL ALMOST THE BILL- WOULD
LIKE CLOTHES AND EVERYTHING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AN INCIDENT
WE'RE JUST YOU FOR THIS WOULD BE
LIKE READ A DOCTOR'S GETTING
READY TO TREAT YOU THEY LOOK IN
YOUR RECORD. YOU CAN CHECK FOR
THE SAME THING FIVE TOP TIPS
YOU'VE HAD A SERIES OF
MEDICATION THAT HAS OR HAS NOT
BEEN A PIC HE WOULD WANT THAT
PERSON IT WILL TAKE THAT INTO.
ACCOUNT WHEN THEIR YOUR OWN TREE
PLAN WILL WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THE AS THE IN THE MAP READ. AS
AS THAT PERSON AND BEING ABLE
TO- PRESENT BUT ISN'T. WILL NOT
BE IN THE OFFICIAL REQUEST.
BEING ABLE TO YOU. SOMETHING
THAT THAT THE PERSON NOT WITNESS
THEM SO. WE'RE YOU CAN DO UPON
THAT TO MAKE YOUR CASE. BEFORE
THE JUDGE. YOU KNOW I THINK
THERE'S A THERE'S A COMMONSENSE
ELEMENT TO THIS THAT ARE LIKE-
I'D I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF
THERE'S ANY OTHER MEANS BY
WHICH- THAT INFORMATION WOULD
HAVE BEEN. A BILLABLE TO THIS
LEGAL PROCESS. WITHOUT BREAKING
DOWN THE HEARSAY. PROTOCOLS MAY
I MAY I RESPOND SO LET ME LET ME
INTERVENE HERE JUST JUST TO
CLARIFY THINGS SO MR MAS- WHAT
WAS THE- QUESTION ONE WHAT WAS
THE STATE LAW BEFORE THE SANCHEZ
QUESTION. CASE AND QUESTION
NUMBER TWO IS THAT SO FOR
EXAMPLE FOR EXPERT WITNESSES
TESTIFYING IN A IN A- A MEDICAL
EXPERT SAYS I NOTE WHICH PARTS
OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS WERE
NOTED ONE MORE THE GIRL. THAT
LEXPERT CAN SAY BASED ON MY
OBSERVATION AND BASED ON THE
MEDICAL RECORDS I CAN. OFFER THE
FOLLOWING OPINION WITHOUT
CALLING THE PERSON WHO
ORIGINALLY ANNOTATED THE MEDICAL
RECORDS A MONTH AGO- MISSED US
THE- QUESTIONS TO YOU. YES THOSE
THEY DON'T BOB PRIOR TO SANCHEZ
WAS THAT THE EVIDENCE WAS
ENTERED SUCH THAT EXPERT
WITNESSES COULD TESTIFY TO CASE
SPECIFIC FACTS THAT THEY GOT
FROM HERE SAY SO. IN THE EXAMPLE
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AN
EXPERT WITNESS POSITION COULD
SAY I READ X. Y. AND Z. IN THE
MEDICAL RECORD AND I ASKED IN
ADDITION TO MY OWN OBSERVATIONS
IS WHAT I READ RIGHT ON IN. MAKE
MY OPINION THAT THE- ISSUE WITH
IT DURING THE MONEY. SAN CHANGE
THAT AND MADE IT SO THAT THE
EXPERT WITNESS COULD NOT PROVIDE
ANY CASE SPECIFIC FACTS TO BACK
UP HIS OR HER OPINION OTHER THAN
THE ONE THAT. THE PHYSICIAN-
EXPERT WITNESS HAS ACTUALLY
PERSONALLY OBSERVE THAT THANK
YOU YOU MUST I'M SORRY TO
INTERRUPT YOU BUT- THE DUE TO A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COMMITTEES

FOREVER CHANGED SB THIRTY ONE
BEGAN AS A RESPONSE TO THE
TRAGEDY OF THE ROSE SAID. IT HAS
EVOLVED THROUGH CISCO I HAVE HAD
WITH UNIONS AND GUILDS REPRESENT
WORKERS IN THE ENTERTAINMENT
INDUSTRY. INTO THE GROUND
BREAKING LEGISLATION THAT
ADDRESSES THE BROADER ISSUE OF
OVERALL HEALTH AND SAFETY ON
SETS. THE MAGIC OF FILM AND
TELEVISION CAN OBSCURE THE
DANGERS OF WORKING IN MOTION
PICTURE. SHOULD IS OPEN OUTSIDE
THAT IS AMBER SHOOTING SUBJECT
TO ALL KINDS OF WEATHER AND
TERRAIN CONDITIONS. THAT WERE
WORKERS CAN BE INVOLVED IN
ANYTHING FROM STANCE COMPLEX
ELECTRICAL SET UP CAR CRASHES
EXPLOSIONS ALL WHILE WORKING ON
IN THE REGULAR HOURS. OTHER
INDUSTRIES ALSO HAVE SIGNIFICANT
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN THE
WORKPLACE. WE ALL KNOW THAT OF
THE VERY FEW HAVE AS MANY IT IS
VERY THREATS. AND ALL IN ONE
PLACE WHERE THE USE OF A FIREARM
IS JUST PART OF ANOTHER DAY AT
WORK. WE OFTEN HEAR ABOUT THE
TRAGIC INCIDENT SECURE WORKERS
BUT WE DON'T HEAR ABOUT THE
ACCIDENTS. THAT CAUSED SERIOUS
INJURIES AND CONSTANT NEAR
MISSES. THE ENTERTAINMENT
INDUSTRY WIDE LABOR MANAGEMENT
SAFETY COMMITTEE HAS DEVELOP
SAFETY BOLTON'S FOR A BROAD
ARRAY OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS
INCLUDING USE OF FIREARMS AND
SETS. BUT THOSE BULLETINS ARE
NOT BINDING. WE'RE NOT BY ANY
LAWS OR REGULATIONS BUT ONLY
RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES MANY
RESPONSIBLE PRODUCTIONS FALL
THEM BUT MANY OTHERS PAY LIP
SERVICE OTHERS ARE BOUND BY THEM
AT ALL. THE ULTIMATE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAFETY ON ANY
SAID BUYS EMPLOYER. ACCIDENTS
ARE PREVENTABLE IF SAFETY
MEASURES ARE PRIORITIZE FOLLOWED
AND ENFORCED. WORDSMITH A LACK
THERE OF IS WHAT SB THIRTY ONE
ADDRESSES BY TAKING A PROACTIVE
RATHER THAN REACTIVE APPROACH SB
THIRTY ONE A SERVICE A CLEAR
ENFORCEABLE SAFETY STANDARDS TO
PROTECT WORKERS ON FILM AND
TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS. IT
RESTRICTS THE USE OF LIVE
AMMUNITION ON SET MANDATES
SUFFICIENT STAFFING OF QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL WITH FIREARMS BROWN
SAID IT REQUIRES ONLY. TWO
SPECIFIC TRAINING QUALIFICATIONS
MANAGE FIREARMS DURING
PRODUCTIONS MOST IMPORTANTLY THE
BILL RECOGNIZES THAT ENSURING
THE OVERALL HEALTH AND SAFETY ON
SETS REQUIRES ON THE GROUND
OVERSIGHT. THIS BILL REQUIRES
EMPLOYERS TO HAVE A TRAINED
QUALIFIED SAFETY SUPERVISOR ON
ALL PRODUCTIONS THE SAFETY
SUPERVISOR WILL BE TASKED WITH
CONDUCTING A PRE PRODUCTION RISK
ASSESSMENT. IT WILL BE. DEBT
EVERY DAY TO HEALTH AND SAFETY
OF CAST CREW AND EVERYONE
INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION. THE
CONCEPT OF A SAFETY SUPERVISOR
IS NOT SOMETHING NEW TO THE
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
PRODUCTIONS IN THE UK AUSTRALIA
AND NEW ZEALAND ALL HAVE SAFETY
OFFICER POSITIONS AND CONSULTANT
POSITIONS AND BOTH THE US
PRODUCERS IN UNION MEMBERS
WORKING IN THOSE COUNTRIES. ARE
QUITE FAMILIAR WITH THEM. THE
END INDUSTRY. CAME TOGETHER HERE
IN CALIFORNIA THANKS IS US WE
CREATED A COVERT NINETEEN PLAN.
THAT INCLUDED COMPLIANCE
SUPERVISORS ON THE SET FOCUS
SOLELY ON COVERT RELATED HEALTH
AND SAFETY TO ENSURE THE SAFE
RETURN. TO WORK DURING THE
PANDEMIC. SETS WERE NEVER THE
SOURCE OF WIDE COVERT SPREAD. SO
THE POINT IS. WE KNOW IT IS
POSSIBLE TO PRIORITIZE HEALTH
AND SAFETY YOU KNOW KEEP THE
RESOURCES NECESSARY TO MEET THAT
CHALLENGE IF THERE'S A WILL TO
DO IT. BY CODIFYING PROVEN
SAFETY MEASURES CREATED AN
APPROVED BY THE INDUSTRY. IN
REQUIRING A CRITICAL NEW SAFETY
POSITION SB EIGHT THIRTY ONE
SETS UP A FIRST IN THE NATION
REGULATORY STRUCTURE FOR HER
SAKE. AND HOLD ACCOUNTABLE.
COLLEAGUES IT'S TO CALIFORNIA.
THE HOME OF THE FILM INDUSTRY TO
SET SRONG STANDARDS OF
PROTECTION SO THAT TRAGIC
ACCIDENTS LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN
NEW MEXICO. NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN
AND SO THAT ENTERTAINMENT
INDUSTRY CAN CONTINUE TO THRIVE
THIS BILL MOVES US ONE STEP
CLOSER. TOWARD THE SCHOOL. WITH

ONE ELSE INTO IT. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU WILL BRING IT BACK- TO
THE DAIS ANY- COLLEAGUES SIR
WHAT CASTING. I'M I'M ON PAGE
EIGHT OF THE STAFF ANALYSIS AND
WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE
OTHER ATHLETES THAT PARTICIPATE
IN. ALL KINDS OF ACTIVITY AND
WHAT THE STAFF REPORT TALKS
ABOUT IS THE TITLE NINE
SEPARATION OF YOU KNOW AN
EDUCATION PROGRAM ANY EDUCATION
PROGRAM SO IT WOULD SEEM TO ME
THAT THE UNIVERSITY WOULD HAVE
TO WHATEVER THE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
GOT. FOR TUTORING OR SOMETHING
MENTAL- EDUCATION TO BE
SUCCESSFUL IN SCHOOL EVERY OTHER
PROGRAM HAD TO DO AND THEY MAYBE
THEY DO I DON'T KNOW BUT THEN IT
SAYS WERE. FOR ACTIVITY. AND
THAT ACTIVITY MAY BE THE TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT ARE
BE GIVE THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO
FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND BASKETBALL
PLAYERS IN THE SPORTS THAT RAISE
A LOT OF MONEY. CAN YOU ANSWERED
THAT IF HE SAID. HE SAID EACH
UNIVERSITY WOULD HAVE TO GIVE
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
WHERE STUDENT WAS IN SCHOOL OR
GIVE THEM OPPORTUNITIES TO
GRADUATE WITHIN SIX YEARS SO
THERE WILL BE EQUAL WOULD
REQUIRE AGAIN. THE FIRM HERE IS
UNFOUNDED BECAUSE IF YOU'RE NOT
MAKING A PROFIT IS NO REVENUE TO
BE SHARED TO BE PUT INTO THIS
ACCOUNT FOR STUDENT ATHLETES TO
BENEFIT FROM ITS ONLY THOSE
COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITIES ARE
SURE ACTIONS. ARE ARE MAKING A
PROFIT IF YOU'RE BREAKING EVEN
WITH YOUR SCHOLARSHIP AND HOW
WHAT YOU DO FOR ATHLETES WHETHER
YOU'RE A FEMALE ATHLETE OR MALE
ATHLETE WILL NOT BE IMPACTED AT
ALL IT'S ONLY FOR THOSE REVENUE
. IT'S A BEYOND. THAT PROFIT IF
IT'S NOT. IT'S NOTHING TO BE
SHE- IT'S A ZERO SUM GAIN IT'S
NO. OF NO PROFIT BY THESE
UNIVERSITIES BUT IF BUT IF 50%
OF THE PROFIT LET'S SAY LET'S
SAY THE THERE WAS. EVERYBODY
GREET THE DAY YOU HAD TO PROVIDE
WITH ALL THE ATHLETES. WITH
COMPENSATION TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS IF THEY GOT. IF
YOU HAVE IF YOU REQUIRE. HALF OF
IT TO GO TO THE JUSTICE
STUDENTS- IN THE IN THAT
ACTIVITY IN THAT SPORT. THERE
MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH AROUND. ON
WITHIN THE HIGH I WANT TO SEE
THE SPORTS BUDGET THAT'S NOT HOW
IT'S LOOK AT FOR YOU SEE. IF
THAT'S ENOUGH BUDGET TO GIVE
THOSE OTHER. OTHER STUDENTS THE
SAME TREATMENT. I MEAN I MEAN I
GUESS THE QUESTION IS THAT YOU
WE HAVE THIS HARD RULE THAT IF
YOU'RE IN A SPORT AND THE
WRITTEN GET REVENUE LET'S SAY
IT'S IT THERE'S A NUMBER THERE
IF THAT REVENUE CAN'T BE SHARED
BECAUSE NOW THERE'S NEW
REQUIREMENTS MINUTES STUDENTS
NOBODY'S GETTING TWENTY FIVE
GRAND TO GET TO GO TO SCHOOL AND
BE IN ANY SPORT RIGHT IT MAY BE
THAT THIS IT MAYBE THAT'S A GOOD
OUTCOME- I JUST BROKEN. WITH
THAT IS AYE AYES AYE READ. THE
STAFF ANALYSIS ON TIELINE IN
SAYING. AND SAYING IT'S THESE
ACTIVITIES BESIDES JUST THE
EDUCATION BECAUSE- THEY HAVE TO.
YOU KNOW. HAVE TO TREAT THEM THE
SAME. I GET THAT AND I GET TO
CONCERNED ABOUT TITLE NINE I
HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WERE.
FOR COACHES- WELL I HAVE A
COUSIN WHO'S A WOMAN'S
VOLLEYBALL COACH. AND THEY
CLEARLY UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT
WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE NEGLECTED
MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER ONES BUT
AGAIN. THIS WILL NOT HAVE ANY
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON. WOMEN'S
SPORTS ARE UNIVERSITIES IT WOULD
DO NOTHING TO THEM IF THERE'S-
EXTRA RECORD REVENUE THAT CAN BE
SHARED. THE ONLY STAND TO GAIN
FROM THIS PROGRAM. IF THERE IS
PROFITS TO BE MADE AND IT'S-
ABOVE AD BEYOND THE TWENTY
FIRST. I LET'S LET'S SEE EVERY
ATHLETE GOT. TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
AND THEN WITH THE EXTERIOR.
STANDARD THOUSAND. LEFT OVER. WE
WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGES. FUND
ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR
WOMEN'S SPORTS OR THOSE NON
REVENUE WHETHER IT'S WRESTLING.
OR BADMINTON WHAT WHATEVER I
MEAN THOSE SPORTS GENERATE NO
REVENUE- OFFER COLLEGES BUT
THESE ARE SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP
ATHLETES NONE THE LESS. IS IT
YOUR UNDERSTANDING MISTER CHAIR
HE SAID. I MEAN I. SORT OF HAVE
GROWN UP. NOT THAT I'M GROWN UP
NOW BUT AS I WAS GROWING UP. HE
SAID THAT HE SAID. HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL
SUBSIDIZED ALL THESE OTHER
SPORTS I JUST SORT OF. ASSUMED
THAT THEY GENERATE MONEY. AND
NOBODY WENT TO A BASEBALL GAME
AND- THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT
STUFF. SO YOU'RE- YOU. YOU'RE
TALKING PROFIT YOU'RE SAYING
THAT YOU PAY FOR THAT. THOSE
EXPERTS CURRENT EXPENSES THAT
YOU HAVE NOT YOU JUST.
SINGULARLY LOOK THAT ONLY.
EXPENSES FOR FOOTBALL. YEAH
WE'RE AGAIN WE'RE NOT AWAY ANY
OF CURRENT FUN THAT ACROSS THE
BOARD YOU WILL SEE FOR EXAMPLE
TOTAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ATHLETES
IT'S TWENTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
AND COMPOSITION COACHES BUT
TWELVE OF TWENTY ONE MILLION
DOLLARS. OUR PROGRAM WOULD NOT
TOUCH THAT IT WOULD ONLY ADD TO
THAT FOR THE ATHLETES BENEFIT
BUT USC GIVE ME A FANTASY TOUR
THE OTHER DAY. AND I ASSURE YOU
THERE PROGRAM RIVAL SOME
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS PROGRAMS AND
THEY WERE SHOWING ME WHY THIS
BILL WAS UNNECESSARY BUT I
WALKED AWAY SAYING THIS BILL IS
EVEN MORE SO I'M EVEN MORE SO
COMMITTED TO THIS BECAUSE I KNOW
THE MAJORITY OF COLLEGES DON'T
HAVE THOSE RESOURCES THAT THEY
HAVE AT USC YOU KNOW HOW THOSE
TYPE OF FACILITIES THEY DON'T
HAVE THE PSYCHIATRIST AT THE
INTRODUCED ME TO AN ALL BOYS AND
EVERY COLLEGE IS NOT BENEFITING
FROM THAT SO WE'RE SEEING. IF
THERE'S ADDITIONAL REVENUE.
THAT'S INCENTIVIZE THOSE
ATHLETES NOT ONLY TO STAND
SCHOOL BUT TO GRADUATE AND
THAT'S- WHAT ARE YOU SEE IF IT'S
NO PROPERTY BE SHARED IT'S NO
HARM HERE RIGHT I GUESS I'M-
LOOKING AT AND LOOKING AT. THE
FUNDS THAT ARE GIVEN TO THE
STUDENTS THAT SO THEY SUCCEED IN
COLLEGE AND WE USE THAT EXAMPLE
HERE IS TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS THAT I WOULD THINK THAT
THEY MIGHT HAVE TO. GIVE THAT TO
ALL. STATE WHETHER THEY'RE ON
BADMINTON WRESTLING SO THAT THEY
SUCCEED ALSO SAID THAT HAVE
EQUAL TREATMENT THE ACTIVITY IS
THE SAME. I'M NOT TAKEN OPINION
NOT AND I GUESS I JUST SPOT THE
ISSUE GOT. SIR CABALLERO. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR SO
FOR ME TO START OFF BY SAYING
THAT- RULES YOUR MIND THAT. THIS
IS A SCHOOL SET- UTILIZE STUDENT
ATHLETES AS PART OF THEIR
PROGRAM. THEY THEN DON'T
GRADUATE THOSE STUDENT ATHLETES
. I TO BE. FORECLOSED FROM
PARTICIPATING BEYOND KIND OF THE
REGULAR SEASON BECAUSE I FEEL
REALLY STRONGLY THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF UNIVERSITIES ON NOT
TOO MANY OF THEM CALIFORNIA BUT
BUT THERE ARE NUMBERED THEY
GRADUATE. THEIR ATHLETES RIGHT-
AND- IT'S PARTICULARLY
PROBLEMATIC WHEN YOU CONSIDER
THAT THEIR ATHLETES OF COLOR ARE
EVEN WORSE OFF THAN THAT- SO I'M
SUPPORTING OF YOUR GOAL OF THE
BILL THE ISSUE I'M TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT A ALONG WITH- WHAT
SENATOR WHITE HOUSE HE SAID IS-
AS I UNDERSTAND THE BILL. IS
THAT THE SPORTS. IN THE SPORT
THAT GENERATES THE REVENUE. GETS
THE REVENUE FOR THEIR ATHLETES.
AND THAT'S THE SPLIT AND IF
YOU'RE IN A SPORT THAT IS A NON
REVENUE GENERATING SPORT- THEN
YOUR ATHLETES ARE NOT GONNA
BENEFIT BECAUSE THERE WON'T BE
MONEY THERE WILL BE REVENUE
THERE WON'T BE EXCESS REVENUES
IT'S HIM I AM AM I CORRECT
THAT'S THAT'S ACCURATE
ASSESSMENT I MEAN IT'S FOR THESE
ATHLETES WHO ARE GENERATING THE
REVENUE BUT- BENEFITING. SO
AGAIN. GREATER INCENTIVIZING
THEM BY SETTING MONEY ASIDE AND
HOPING THAT THEY GRADUATE
BECAUSE AGAIN THEY'RE THE ONES
WHO PUT -(*** IN SEATS WELCOME TO
A BATMAN GAME I'M SORRY WELL IN
FACT PART OF THE PROBLEM THAT
YOU RUN INTO QUITE FRANKLY IS
THAT WELL I SHOULD SAY NO ONE'S
PAYING THE TICKETS ARE FREE TO
THOSE GUYS YEAH WELL AND THAT
THIS GETS AT THE CRUX OF IT I'M
GONNA I'M GONNA SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY I I'VE GOTTEN A BUNCH
OF COMMENTS. IN OPPOSITION FROM
PEOPLE THAT- WORK IN THE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM- AND I THINK
THE ISSUE REGARDING TITLE NINE
IS THAT- MANY OF THAT WOMEN'S
SPORTS PROGRAMS ARE FREE
TICKETS- AND THEY DON'T GENERATE
REVENUE AND THAT'S WHERE YOU GET
INTO THE AN EQUAL YOU KNOW-
ISSUE. IT'S GOING TO NEED TO BE
RESOLVED AT SOME POINT I JUST
THINK IT'S GOT TO BE RESOLVED
AND IT NUMBER ONE NUMBER TWO IS.
IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT. WERE
AND I REALLY LIKE WHERE YOU'RE
GOING WITH THIS I WENT I WENT
STUDENT ATHLETES TO GRADUATE-
AND I AND I WANT THERE TO BE A
COMMITMENT. TO THE PROGRAM. THAT
THEY THEY GET THEIR STUDENT
ATHLETES TO GRADUATE I MEAN I
THAT'S IT JUST IT'S- I THINK
IT'S FUNDAMENTAL WHERE WE WHERE
WHERE THE GOING TO COLLEGE THEN.
AND WE'RE IT WE'RE JUST USING
THEM AND THEN MOVING ON RIGHT.
AND I AND I GET IT BUT I BUT I
DO THINK THERE'S GONNA BE SOME.
SOME EQUITY ISSUES AND WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGURE
THIS OUT AND I DON'T HAVE THE
ANSWER FOR IT LIKE I SAID I'M
GOING TO. I'M GOING TO SUPPORT
IT TODAY BUT I DO THINK THAT
THERE'S GOING TO BE- IF. WE
WHILE I DO WANT TO SUPPORT THEM
THE ATHLETES THAT ARE IN THE
REVENUE. GENERATING CATEGORY
ALSO WANT TO SUPPORT THEM THE
ATHLETES. THAT ARE NOT IN THE
REVENUE GENERATING PROGRAM
TONIGHT I THINK THE- FOR WOMEN
TO BE. EQUALLY TO MEN IN THE
PROFESSIONAL WORLD HAS BEEN
REALLY IMPORTANT. TERRIFIC TO
SEE THE WOMEN'S SOCCER TEAM
FINALLY GET PAID FOR SOME STUFF
THEY'VE BEEN DOING THAT. THEY'VE
BEEN UNDER COMPENSATED SO WE'RE
JUST GONNA HAVE TO BE CAREFUL
SO- I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. THANK
YOU. ANY OTHER- DRAWS A YEAH-
JUST TO REITERATE- THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT.
COULD IMPACT WOMEN AND- WE NEED
TO B. LOOK AHEAD AND NOT JUST
SORT OF REACT TO THAT SO- BUT
THAT WOULD THAT OF- COMINTERN'S
SUPPORT THANK YOU AREN'T ANY
OTHER MEMBER OF THE COMMITTEE
WISHING TO COMMENT SEEING NONE-
LET'S CALL THE ROLL. GOING TO
CLOSE ALL SORRY YES BY ALL
MEANS. AND IN ONE OF THOSE DAYS
MAN NO I APPRECIATE IT AND I
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS THAT ARE
MADE IN THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE
BEEN RAISED IN IN IN THIS BY NO
MEANS WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING A
BILL THAT I THOUGHT WAS GONNA
HURT. ANY SPORTS ESPECIALLY
WOMEN'S SPORTS AGAIN I HAVE
FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE COACHING
WOMEN'S TEAMS SO I KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS I'VE FOUGHT FOR
FUNDING AT A UNIVERSITY ERASED
DATA DID FUND RAISERS FOR
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM AT CAL
STATE DOMINGUEZ HILLS WHO ARE
GRADUATED FROM SO I UNDERSTAND.
WORDS OF THIS. WORST TRYING TO
ACHIEVE HERE IS AGAIN A REVENUE
PULL FOR A PROFIT AND WHEN I
SAID BATMAN AND I'M IT NO ONE.
PIECE FOR BATMAN GAMES THOSE
GAMES ARE FREE THOSE ATHLETES
ARE ATHLETES ON THE LAST JUST AS
SERIOUS AS SOMEBODY ON THE
FOOTBALL FIELD. THE ONLY
DIFFERENCE IS NOBODY'S WILLING
TO PAY FIFTY DOLLARS YOU KNOW
AND ACTUALLY GIVE THOSE TICKETS
AWAY SO I'M SEEING THOSE ARE NOT
REVENUE GENERATING SPORTS BUT-
SPORTS NONETHELESS ATHLETES THAT
NEED TO BE RESPECTED AND
PROTECTED. AND AGAIN THE BILL
WILL HAPPEN IMPACT. STUDENTS ARE
WHETHER THEY'RE MALE OR FEMALE
AND AS I STATED IN MY OPENING
COMMENTS WHAT WE'VE LEARNED SO
FAR IN A SHORT PERIOD. NAME INCH
IMAGE. BIT ENACTED THEIR WOMEN
ATHLETES WERE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF
BECAUSE THEY'RE THE LOCAL
HOMETOWN HEROES AND- THE LOCAL
CAR DEALERSHIP FOR THE STORE
WANTS TO YOU KNOW SPONSOR THEM
OR HAVE THEM ADVERTISE. OUR
PRODUCTS SO THEY HAVE BENEFITTED
THEY HAVE SIGNED WHAT CONTRACTS
IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF
SINCE NAME AND MATURE- SO WE'RE
- MOVING FOR WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT. WE'RE GOING
LOOK AT- NINE. ONE THING THIS
BILL. MAY NOT DO IS HER TOP NOT
IT'S NOT GONNA TAKE ANYTHING
AWAY FROM WOMEN'S SPORTS IF
EVERYTHING WORKS WELL SB UPTICK

THERE ARE SOME REALLY OBVIOUS
THINGS THAT THE CRISIS YOU MAY
NOT KNOW ABOUT- THAT THAT MEANS
THAT TREATMENT SOMETIMES OFTEN
TAKES LONGER THAN YOU EXPECT.
AND THEREFORE GOING A LITTLE BIT
MORE TIME ON THE BACK END AND
AVOIDING THE CONSERVATORSHIP OF
THAT THING- IF YOU CAN GET A LOT
MORE TIME TO TREAT. SO NOTE. MY
SECOND. ESPECIALLY WITH BEEN
PRACTICE A LONG TIME THAT
PATIENT SICK IN THEY HAVE BEEN.
OUR GENERATIONS AND THAT'S
BECAUSE OF A COUPLE OF THINGS-
THEY THEY OFTEN COME INTO
INPATIENT UNITS AND THEY START
WITH A FIFTY ONE. AND THEN THE
FOURTEENTH A HOLD ON THE THIRTY
DAY ALL- THEY'RE THEY'RE SICKER
BECAUSE THEY OFTEN HAVE-
PHYSICALLY ON- MORE. OPEN HOUSE
ISSUES ISSUE ON. AND THESE
THINGS CAN ALL TAKE LONGER TO-
BUT THEY'RE ALL OTHER. THAT COME
INTO THE- AND SO IT DOWN A THE-
CONTINUE WITHIN IN. SECTOR OF
THOSE THAT THE ARE YOU KNOW YOU
CAN OBTAIN MEDICATION ORDERS FOR
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESISTANT
TO MEDICATION AND SOMETIMES
SCHEDULING THOSE. GETTING
HEARINGS GOING. TAKES MORE
PLANNING DOWN THEN YOU KNOW I
MEAN THEIR STATUTORY STANDARDS
THEREBY. YOU KNOW. PICKING
SOMETIMES IT TAKES LONGER- AT
THE END AND IN EACH CASE SO LIKE
COURT DAY IN THE FOR ALL THEY
HAVE OR- ASIAN CREATURE THE SO.
THAT HEARINGS. AND THAT KIND OF
MINISTRY PROCESSES THEY HAD THE
TIME. TO TREAT BY THE UNTREATED
DURATION OF PSYCHOTIC DISORDERS
ON THE STREETS. IT'S NOTHING
LIKE WE'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE
PEOPLE AGAIN AFTER LONGER
THEY'RE SICKER AND THE MORE THEY
GO UNTREATED- THE LAST. YOU KNOW
ABLE IT IS FOR SIX HIGH INTEREST
TO BRING BACK BASELINE. AND THEY
STRUGGLE AND THEY AND THEY WORK
ON THAT AND THEN THEY GET HIM
BACK TO CASE ONE BUT IT TAKES A
LONG TIME. IT ALSO TAKES TIME TO
SELECT THE CORRECT MEDICATION-
THOSE TYPES OF DISCONTINUATION
BECAUSE MEDICAID ARE. MAYBE
JACKSON SO ALL OF YOUS TOGETHER
YOU KNOW BECAUSE OF COMBINED
TELL US THAT IF WE JUST OVER
MORE TIME ON IN SOME CASES
TOWARD YOU KNOW- THE END OF THAT
FOR THIRTY DAYS PERIOD YOU COULD
ADD. CHIEF SINGLE- IN

NAME IS KIM PETERSON I AM
ATTORNEY AT DISABILITY RIGHTS
CALIFORNIA AND I FOCUS ON LEGAL
ISSUES RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE
HERE TODAY DRC OPPOSES THIS BILL
BECAUSE THE LEGISLATURE HAS NO
DATA UPON WHICH TO MAKE AN
INFORMED DECISION ABOUT WHETHER
EXTENDING THE FIFTY TO SEVENTY
HOLD FOR AN ADDITIONAL THIRTY
DAYS. IS AN INTERVENTION THAT IS
LIKELY TO LEAD TO SUSTAINED
POSSIBLE. POSITIVE OUTCOMES FOR
PEOPLE SUCH THAT IT JUSTIFIES.
THE INCREASE TIME. ANY DECISION
TO ENACT LAWS THAT INFRINGE ON
INDIVIDUAL LIBERTIES SHOULD BE
DRIVEN BY CLEAR DATA AND NOT
PRESUMPTIONS. LAST WEEK DRC
AGREES WITH THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CONCERNS RAISED BY THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS WITHOUT WITHOUT DATA TO
SUPPORT THE NEED FOR AN EXTENDED
FIFTY TO SEVENTY HOLD THE STATE
CANNOT SHOW THAT THE
INFRINGEMENT OF LIBERTY IS
JUSTIFIED BY A COMPELLING
GOVERNMENT INTEREST. IN HOLD
SHOULD NOT BE AN ENTITLEMENT
TWENTY TWO JUDICIAL REVIEW. IN
CONCLUSION EXTENDING INVOLUNTARY
TREATMENT DOES NOT RESOLVE THE
UNDERLYING SOCIAL CAUSES OF
REVOLVING DOOR HOSPITALIZATIONS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE. THREATS GOOD AFTERNOON GOING
BACK AS FOR ACLU CALIFORNIA
ACTION IN OPPOSITION. OTHER THAN
ADEQUATE EVIDENCE THAT DETAINING
PEOPLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL THIRTY
DAYS IS NARROWLY TAILORED AND
THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE MEANS OF
ACCOMPLISHING A COMPELLING
GOVERNMENT INTEREST CONSISTENT
WITH DISTRICTS SCRUTINY TEST FOR
EVALUATING GOVERNMENT
RESTRICTIONS OF FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHTS. IMAGERY CONVENIENCE OF
AVOIDING A CONSERVER HEARING IS
INADEQUATE FOR JUSTIFYING AN
ADDITIONAL THIRTY DAYS OF
INVOLUNTARY HOLDS THANK YOU
THANK YOU- MODERATE DO WE HAVE A
KIM PETERSON ON THE LINE. OR
EXCUSE ME. ALL RIGHT MODERATOR
LET'S MOVE ON TO THE PHONE
LINES- FOLKS WISHING TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION OF THE COULD- PLEASE
IDENTIFY THEMSELVES BY NAME-
FILIATION IMPOSITION. ANALYSTS
KNOW HOW MANY ARE IN THE- DID
YOU WISH SPEAKING OPPOSITION OF
S. B. TWELVE TWENTY SEVEN PLEASE
PRESS ONE THEN ZERO. WE SHOULD
WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE IN QUEUE AT
THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT BRING IT
BACK ON TO THE DAIS. SIR WHAT%
KASKY YOU'RE ONFIRE TODAY YOU
KNOW I WASN'T GOING TO GO UP ON
THIS BILL AND NOW. YOU'RE
WITNESSES HAVE TRIGGERED SOME
THOUGHTS IN MY MIND- BECAUSE YOU
KNOW THE WE'RE LAWYERS AND WE
LIKE TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF US
ARE LAWYERS TALK ABOUT NARROWLY
TAILORING TO LEAST RESTRICTIVE
TO THE DID AS A LAWYER TALK
THAT'S WE WANT. AND ONE OF YOUR
WITNESSES CAN'T BE HERE BECAUSE
SHE'S TREATING PATIENTS SO SHE
HAS THIS OTHER JOB OTHER THAN
GOING TO COURT AND TELLING US
WHAT THE TREATMENT PLAN IS BUT
YOUR OTHER WITNESS SAID THAT.
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GO TO COURT
FOR THE FOURTEEN DAY HOLD IN FOR
THE THIRTY DAY HOLD ITS THIS
OTHER THIS NEXT THIRTY DAY HOLD
ALSO GOING TO INCORPORATE GOING
TO. COURT SO THAT THE COURT FACT
DOES HAVE JUDICIAL REVIEW BEFORE
THEY AUTOMATICALLY GIVE YOU THE
THIRTY DAYS THE THAT IS CORRECT
THAT IS OUR INTENTION AND IF
THAT IS NOT CLEAR WE ARE GLAD TO
TAKE ANY AMENDMENT TO MAKE THAT
CLEAR THAT THE INTENTION OKAY SO
THIS IS NOT. THE END AND THE
COMPELLING STATE GOVERNMENT
INTEREST FOR HOLDING THESE
PEOPLE I THINK IT WAS
ARTICULATED IS THAT YOU WANT TO
AVOID CONSERVATORSHIP WHICH YOU
BELIEVE IS LESS RESTRICTIVE THAN
A SUCCESSFUL. MANAGEMENT
PSYCHIATRIC POINT WHERE BECAUSE
WHATEVER YOU PEOPLE CALL THAT ON
THAT IS THAT CORRECT THAT IS
CORRECT. OKAY WE BELIEVE AN
ADDITIONAL THIRTY DAYS IS LESS
RESTRICTIVE THAN A FULL. SHIFT
SO. WHAT MIGHT THE YOUR WITNESS
WAS TALKING ABOUT. BEING THE
MEDICATION RIGHT I MEAN IS THERE
SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT FORTY
SEVEN DAYS THAT'S WHAT THE
SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE NOW WHICH
I'M GUESSING WOULD ACTED. WE GOT
. FOURTEEN AND THIRTY GIVE YOU
FORTY SEVEN RIGHT YEAH AND I
FORTY THREE I THINK AS AS AS
WITH YOUR HAGAR TALKED ABOUT-
PEOPLE ARE COMING MORE ILL THAN
THEY USED TO. EXTEND INTO THEIR
THEIR THEIR THEIR BEHAVE HEALTH
ISSUES AND ALSO OFTENTIMES WITH
COMORBIDITY SUBSIDY USE ANOTHER
KIND OF MEDICAL ISSUES THAT THAT
NEED. TREATMENT AT THE SAME
TIME- I ARE YOU SUGGESTING THE
EXAMPLE OF WE ALL HAVE FAMILY
ISSUES WITH THIS RIGHT I HAD AN
AUNT WHO HAD SEVERE AND
PERSISTENT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES.
MY COUSIN HAS FOR YEARS UNTIL
SHE DIED AS LEICESTER GOD REST
YOUR SOUL- SAID YOU KNOW MY MOM
WASN'T SICK ENOUGH FOR YOU TO
KEEP A FOR THIRTY DAYS. BUT SHE
WAS SICK ENOUGH TO GO OUT AND
GET RID. THE BE I. B. H. SO TO
MY IN AND OUT OF THE- MY BECAUSE
WOULD BAG PLEASE KEEPER OF THAT
ADDITIONAL TIME BECAUSE THEN SHE
CAN GET STABILIZED WHEN SHE CAN
GET STABILIZE ON THE MEDICATION
SHE CAN MAKE GOOD DECISIONS BUT
UNTIL THAT TIME. SHE WASN'T ABLE
TO AND SO THE REVOLVING DOOR OF
IN AND OUT IN AND OUT AND IN AND
OUT THIS GIVES A LITTLE BIT
EXTRA TIME TO GET PEOPLE
STABILIZE BECAUSE SOMETIMES A
MEDICATION MIX DOESN'T WORK EVEN
IF YOU HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
A. B. YOU MIGHT HAVE IT TAKES A
CERTAIN MEDICATION TO BE ABLE TO
TREAT YOUR YOUR SPECIFIC. THIS
MISTER WHAT TYPE OF IT MEANS TO
THE PSYCHIATRIST AND FOLKS IN
THIS FIELD SPEND IN COURT
BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE I MEAN IF
YOU HAVE TO GO TO COURT FOR
FOURTEEN DAY HOLDING YOU HAVE
DIFFERENT PEOPLE COMING IN AND
THEN A THIRTY DAY HOLD YOU HAVE
TO GO IN AND YOU HAVE TO WRITE
THAT REPORT YOU HAVE TO DO IT
HOW MUCH OF THEIR TIME. IS SPENT
ON. PROVIDING NARROWLY TAILORED
EVIDENCE TO THE COURT ON THE
SPECIFIC TREATMENT PLAN THAT YOU
HAVE. VERSUS ACTUALLY. SEEING
THE PATIENT DOING THE TREATMENT
PLAN AND WE WILL HAVE PAPERWORK
MORE THAN ANYBODY WOULD LIKE.
RIGHT SO IT'S- BECAUSE- BECAUSE
THAT'S DATA SEWER WE WERE
WORRIED ABOUT THAT AT THAT WE
DON'T HAVE DATA. BUT IF WE KNEW
THAT THERE'S AND THEN. OF TOP
THAT SPENT ON. WELL THE BALANCE
OF TIME BETWEEN THE TREATMENT
AND WRITING IT AND THEN AND THEN
HOW THAT WHAT THAT THIRTY DAY
ADDITIONAL THIRTY GET A FULL
NOTE BEFORE I CAME HERE PSYCH
GET THE MEDICINES PRIDE PRIDE
BALANCE THAT PER BECAUSE IT
SEEMS THERE ARE. WAS THERE MORE
STE EARLY- PHYSICALLY OF A
SICKER OR SUBSTANCE ABUSE SICKER
THAT IS JUST NOT FORTY SEVEN
DAYS HIM AND WE'RE DONE- AND-
DAN THE GOAL WHICH IS NORMAL OF
AVOIDING THE- OF THAT SO. I FEEL
BETTER NOW. THEN THEN I WOULD
ALSO SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE OF SAID
THERE'S NOT ANY DATA AND YOU ALL
KNOW WHEN WE VOTED FOR LAST WEEK
AND LPS BUILT DATA AND ACTION
WHERE PEOPLE FALL OFF AND ON OF
OUR SYSTEM AND- WE ARE. HOPING
TO. ALSO DO KNOW THAT MARIE
COUNTY. DID A FIVE YEAR STUDY
THIRTY FIVE INDIVIDUALS USE
THIRTY DAY INTENSIVE TREATMENT
ONLY TWO HAD TO BE REFERRED TO A
MORE RESTRICTIVE-
CONSERVATORSHIP. OF THE PATIENTS
WHO WERE SUCCESSFULLY DISTRICT
FROM THURSDAY TO TREATMENT READ
- THE BOB GRAY THAT IS NO THREE
DATE WAS LESS STIGMATIZING AND
RESTRICTIVE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES. AND THE PUBLIC GARDEN
IT GUARDIANS TO YOUR POINT MR
WHITE HOUSE KEY REPORTED CHANGE
THEIR WORKFLOWS ALLOWING THEM TO
FOCUS MORE ON CONSOLES THAT THAT
THAT TRULY. AND MORE EXTENDED
PLACEMENT AND EVERYBODY OF
COURSE. TO THE COST SAVING- FOR
THE FOR THE WHOLE SYSTEM CAN I
HAVE ONE FINAL QUESTION BECAUSE
ONE OF THINGS WE'RE CONCERNED
WITH IS COMPELLING GOVERNMENT.
MEMBER THAT COMPELLING
GOVERNMENT INTEREST WITH THAT IN
MIND. GIVING SOMEBODY'S
MEDICATION RIGHT THAT PSYCHOTIC
OR SCHIZOPHRENIC OR WHATEVER THE
THIS IS THE- IS THAT IMPORTANT
TO THE COMMUNITY- OR TO THE
GOVERNMENT TOURISTS THE STATE.
YOU'RE GOING TO REPORT TO A
PERSON'S WELL BEING. AND IF THE
STATE HAS ANY INTEREST IN IN A
PERSON'S WELL BEING- I MEAN I'M
NOT AN ATTORNEY I'M A SOCIAL
WORKER AND I COULD TELL YOU THAT
PEOPLE THINK THIS WOULD ADD. ONE
MORE LEVEL OF CARE. TO AGAIN
AVOID THE MORE RESTRICTIVE.
CONSERVATORSHIP. ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU CENTER WORK ASKING CENTER
STERN. YEAH THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR- I GUESS I WOULD JUST A
COMMENT TO ADD ON TO THE
CONVERSATION AND THEN I'D LOVE
TO MOVE THE BILL AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME- I THINK THE
OTHER DATA SET THAT WE WERE
LOOKING AT IS AN AUDIT THAT I
HELPED. UP HE IS BACK LOS
ANGELES SAN FRANCISCO AND I
THINK SHASTA COUNTY- AND WE DO
HAVE DATA ABOUT THE NUMBER OF
INVOLUNTARY FIFTY ONE FIFTY
HOLDS WITH NO THAT'S IN THE TENS
OF THOUSANDS IN COUNTY ABOUT THE
L. A. TEN THOUSANDS IN SALMON
TO. I'M THE CAN SHIP THE CURRENT
- CASE FOR GUARDIANS OUT THERE
IS WAY TOO HIGH AND SO FOR FROM
MY PERSPECTIVE THE OTHER
COMPELLING INTEREST HERE IS
ACTUALLY A LIBERTY INTEREST IF
WE CAN FIND A WAY TO DO MORE
TRUNCATED AND PRECISE. TEMPORARY
CONSERVATORSHIP STABILIZE PEOPLE
AND THEN NOT HAVE TO BURDEN THE
SYSTEM WITH THE LONGER TERM
PROCEEDINGS YOU MAY ACTUALLY
HAVE FEWER PEOPLE IN. BRITISH
FOR THE VISIT. SO IN THE NEAR
TERM. YOU MAY HAVE. SOMETHING
BEYOND WHAT IS YOUR THREE DAY
HOLD RIGHT NOW FRANK THAT THE
THOSE THREE HOLES THE EVIDENCE
WE'RE FINDING OF FIFTY ONE
FIFTIES INCREDIBLY DRAMATIC
FORCED HOSPITALIZATIONS WITH
PERSPIRATION. THOSE ARE NOT-
REPUDIATE INTERFACES WITH OUR
SYSTEM I THINK GO IN A MONTH
PERIOD WHERE YOU HAVE SOMETHING
LIKE ABILIFY WHERE YOU CAN IF
YOU IF YOU CONSENT TO IT OR OR
OR END UP YOU KNOW SIGN OFF. THE
ON A WEAK LONG. ACTING DOUBLE TO
GET YOU STABILIZE AND MAKE SOME
DECISIONS AND THEN YOU CAN START
TO LOOK AT HOUSING OPTIONS AND
ALL THE REST OF IT SO. I
APPRECIATE YOU WE INTO. UP
IMPORTANT AND TOUGH TERRITORY
AND OF FOR ALL THE WORK BEEN
DOING THIS YEAR I WOULD LOVE TO
BE ABLE A CO AUTHOR. WELL BUT I
WOULD MOVE THE BILL. OR ANY
OTHER FINAL COMMENTS SEEING NONE
ON SYRACUSE LOOKED CLOSE I WOULD
USE TENER STERN SPINE COMMENTS

OF BART'S INSPECTOR GENERAL GIVE
THE OFFICE MORE PROTECTION FROM
IMPROPER INTERFERENCE IN ITS
WORK. BAY AREA VOTERS CREATED
THE INSPECTOR GENERAL IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN AS A PART OF A
BALLOT MEASURE. THAT ALSO GAVE
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION

WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS. PUBLISHED BY THE
COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF TH
UNITED STATES. AND WITH THE
PRINCIPLES AND STANDARDS FOR

SPECIFICALLY THE BILL GIVES THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL ACCESS TO
AGENCY DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHT
TO INTERVIEW EMPLOYEES. IT ALSO
GIVES THE OFFICE THE ABILITY TO
HIRE STAFF TO PROTECT
CONFIDENTIAL COMPUTER FILES FROM
IMPROPER DISCLOSURE. FINALLY THE
BILL ALSO RAISES THE BAR FOR
FIRING AN INSPECTOR GENERAL
DURING THEIR FOUR YEAR TERM.

GOOD AFTERNOON. TO YOU AND TO
MEMBERS I AM HERE TO PRESENT.
SENATE BILL TWELVE FORTY FIVE L.
A. COUNTY ABORTION ACCESS SAFE
HAVEN PILOT PROGRAM. SB TWELVE
FORTY FIVE WILL SUPPORT A FUNDED
PILOT PROGRAM FOR LOS ANGELES
COUNTY ONLY TO BUILD ON THE
STATEWIDE EFFORTS TO ADVANCE
CALIFORNIA'S A REPRODUCTIVE
FREEDOM STATE. THE PROGRAM WILL
HOUSE INNOVATIVE APPROACHES AND
PATIENT CENTERED COLLABORATIONS
TO SAFEGUARD ACCESS TO ABORTION
FOR PATIENTS COMING TO LOS
ANGELES COUNTY REGARDLESS OF
WHERE A PATIENT RESIDES. THIS
YEAR THE UNITED STATES SUPREME
COURT IS REVIEWING A DIRECT
CHALLENGE TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT TO ABORTION ESTABLISHED IN
ROE V. WADE SHOULD THE COURT
UPHOLD MISSISSIPPI'S BAN THEREBY
OVERTURNING ROE PEOPLE IN OVER
HALF THE STATES IN THE COUNTRY.
OVER THIRTY SIX MILLION WOMEN
AND OTHER PEOPLE THEY BECOME
PREGNANT WILL LOSE ACCESS TO
ABORTION CARE. AND IT IS ALREADY
HAPPENING PEOPLE IN TEXAS HAVE
BEEN DENIED PROTECTIONS UNDER
ROW SINCE THE STATE'S EXTREME
ABORTION BAN SB EIGHT WENT INTO
EFFECT LAST YEAR. ACCORDING TO A
REPORT RELEASED BY THE GUTMACHER
INSTITUTE THE NUMBER OF OUT OF
STATE PATIENTS WHO WOULD FIND
THEIR NEAREST ABORTION PROVIDER
IN CALIFORNIA FROM FORTY SIX
THOUSAND TO ONE POINT FOUR
MILLION AN INCREASE OF NEARLY
3000% L. A. COUNTY ACCOUNTS FOR
OVER A THIRD OF ALL ABORTIONS
THAT TAKE PLACE IN CALIFORNIA.
THE PREVALENCE OF ABORTION IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY IN PARTICULAR
LIKELY REFLECTS BETTER ACCESS IN
THE CITY THAN OTHER PARTS OF
CALIFORNIA AND QUITE FRANKLY
EVEN OTHER STATES IN THE NATION
. THIS PREVALENCE COUPLED WITH
THE COUNTY'S ROLE AS A MAJOR
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION HUB
WITH MULTIPLE AIRPORTS. MAKES
IT'S HIGHLY LIKELY THAT NON
RESIDENTS WILL COME TO L. A.
COUNTY FOR THE ABORTION CARE
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS.
HOME STATE OR COUNTY. CURRENTLY
L. A. COUNTY HAS ALREADY MADE
EVIDENT COMMITMENTS TO HEALTH
EQUITY THE COUNTY HAS A RECORD
OF SUCCESSFUL INNOVATIONS IN
CARE COORDINATION FOR PROGRAMS
SUCH AS MY HEALTH LA ECON SOLD
SYSTEM LANES HEALTH INFORMATION
EXCHANGE. AND THE WHOLE PERSON
CARE PILOT PROGRAMS WHICH ARE
NOW INFORMING CAL AIMS STATEWIDE
EFFORTS. BUILDING UPON THE L. A.
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
RESOLUTION OF BUILDING A COUNTY
WIDE RESPONSE TO THE POTENTIAL
OVERTURN OF ROE V. WADE. SB
TWELVE FORTY FIVE WOULD FIND AND
SUPPORT A PILOT PROGRAM APPROACH
TO CARE THAT IS RESPONSIVE TO
THE IMPENDING NEEDS OF PEOPLE
SEEKING ABORTION CARE. HE
FUNDING AREAS FOR THE PILOT
PROGRAM WOULD INCLUDE SERVICES
THAT PRIORITIZE EFFORTS TO
ADVANCE AND IMPROVE HEALTH
OUTCOMES COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL
AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICES
STREAMLINED AND SECURE
INFRASTRUCTURE TO COORDINATE
CARE AND OTHER PATIENTS
SERVICES. PATIENT ACCESS TO
TOOLS TO EMPOWER PATIENTS TO
OVERCOME BARRIERS TO CARE
MEDICALLY ACCURATE EDUCATION AND
TRAINING TOOLS SPECIFIC TO
COMMUNITY NEEDS WITHIN THE
COUNTY. AND PATIENT COMMUNITY
OUT REACH TO ASSESS OUNTY
SERVICES. WHETHER MAURITIAN
RIGHTS ALREADY A ROADING IN
NUMEROUS STATES. IN THE FUTURE

BALANCE NOW IS THE TIME TO PUT

RECENTLY ENACTED IN ARIZONA
IDAHO AND WYOMING. FIVE AGAIN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY IS HOME TO
ALMOST 30% OF THE STATE'S
POPULATION AND ACCOUNT FOR OVER
A THIRD OF ALL ABORTIONS THAT
TAKE PLACE IN CALIFORNIA. THE
FACT COUPLED WITH THE COUNTIES
WALL AT THE MAJOR METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION HUB WITH MULTIPLE
AIRPORT MAKES IT VERY HIGH WOULD
LIKELY THAT NON RESIDENTS WILL
COME TO LOS ANGELES COUNTY FOR
PORTION SERVICES CAFE
DESPERATELY. NEED AND CANNOT

OF PATIENTS TRAVELING TO AND

ARNELLE SHE WAS SICK SO I CAME
IN HER STEAD ALL RIGHT. MY NAME
IS THERESA BRENNAN. YOUR
ATTORNEY A THIRD GENERATION PRO
LIFE ACTIVIST. MOTHER OF FIVE
AND PRESIDENT OF THE RIGHT TO
LIFE LEAGUE. AMERICA'S FIRST PRO
LIFE ORGANIZATION REPRESENTING
FIFTY THREE PREGNANCY HEALTH
CLINICS CENTERS AND MATERNITY
HOMES IN EVERYONE OF YOUR
DISTRICT. AND TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF PRO LIFE VOTERS ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. SB TWO
FORTY FIVE ALTHOUGH FACIALLY
NEUTRAL WILL DESPERATELY IMPACT
MINORITIES. LOS ANGELES COUNTY
IS HOME 228% OF THE STATE'S
POPULATION AND ALREADY ACCOUNTS
FOR MORE THAN ONE THIRD OF ALL
ABORTIONS IN CALIFORNIA. MOST
ABORTIONS IN LOS ANGELES ARE IN
LOW INCOME HIGH MINORITY AREAS.
AND NOT SURPRISINGLY GOOD MARKER
INSTITUTE STATISTICS SHOW THAT
BLACKS AND HISPANICS ARE FAR
MORE LIKELY THAN ANY OTHER RACE
OR ETHNIC ETHNICITY TO HAVE AN
ABORTION. WE AS A NATION CANNOT
AND SHOULD NOT IGNORE RACISM IN
OUR HISTORY. IT IS WIDELY
ACCEPTED THAT PLANNED PARENTHOOD
FOUNDER MARGARET SANGER WITHIN
ADMITTED WHITE SUPREMACISTS HER
STATED PURPOSE WAS TO PROMOTE
BIRTH CONTROL AND ABORTION FOR
LOW INCOME PEOPLE OF COLOR.
CENTER REFERRED TO BLACK
AMERICANS IMMIGRANTS AND
INDIGENOUS AMERICANS AS AND I
QUOTE. HUMAN WEEDS RECKLESS
BREEDERS WHO ARE. HUMAN BEINGS
WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN. DO
NOT MISUNDERSTAND I AM NOT
SAYING AND DO NOT INTEND TO
IMPLY THAT THE AUTHORS OF PRO
ABOUT ABORT BILLS TRAVELING
THROUGH OUR LEGISLATURE ARE
RACIST NOR TO IMPLY THAT THEY
ARE INTENTIONALLY PROMOTING A
RACIST AGENDA. THANK YOU.
HOWEVER NO MATTER THE INTENTION
BY PLACING MORE ABORTION
FACILITIES AND LOW INCOME
NEIGHBORHOODS IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY SB TWELVE FORTY FIVE
UNDENIABLY FOLLOWS PLANNED
PARENTHOOD'S EUGENIC ROOTS
MARGARET SANGER WOULD BE
THRILLED WITH THE ONSLAUGHT OF
PRO ABORT BILLS MAKING THEIR WAY
THROUGH ITS CAPITAL BECAUSE
THESE BILLS WILL WIPE OUT FAR
MORE BLACK AND HISPANIC CITIZENS
IN CALIFORNIA IN FACT MANY OF
THESE ABORTION BILLS EXPRESSLY
TARGET BLACK AND INDIGENOUS OF
COLOR FOR ABORTION SERVICES.
THESE ARE BOARDED PEOPLE WILL
NEVER BE BORN THANK YOU MISS
BROWN WE SHOULD JUST ONE QUICK
QUESTION- I UNDERSTOOD THAT YOU
ARE NOT SUGGESTING THAT THOSE
WHO SUPPORTER AUTHORED THIS
MEASURES. ARE RACES BUT THE
QUOTES YOU YOU GAVE US FROM
MARGARET SANGER CLEARLY WERE
RACISM WONDERING WHAT WAS THE
PURPOSE THAT WELL THE GOOD
MARKER INSTITUTE SPECIFICALLY
STATES THAT ABORTION IN THE
UNITED STATES AS PRIMARILY-
RECEIVED BY PERSONS OF COLOR
HISPANICS AND BLACKS IN ADDITION
LOW INCOME. SO THE POINT IS THAT
THESE ARE NOT WOMEN WHO ARE
BEING OFFERED A CHOICE THEY'RE
BEING FORCED INTO A DECISION
THAT THEY OTHERWISE MIGHT NOT
HAVE CHOSEN AND THE FACT THAT
THESE. LOCATIONS ARE IN LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES SPEAKS TO THE
FACT THAT WE ARE NOT PROVIDING
THE SERVICES TO THESE WOMEN THAT
WE SHOULD TO ENABLE THEM TO HAVE
A TRUE CHOICE RIGHT BUT I JUST
SPEAKING FOR MYSELF I JUST
INTERVIEWED THEM TO BE QUITE
RACES IS IMPLIES I'M GONNA VOTE
AYE ON THE BILL'S APPLIES AT
LEAST TO ME. I DOUBT READ MY
TESTIMONY WAS GOING TO CHANGE

J. PAY AND PEOPLE OF IN THIS
LOST SIXTY ONE DO BASED PAGAN
THE WE JUST ACROSS IN THIS YOU
PATIENTS HANNAH SOME LEVEL EGGS
HEAVY FORM A PLAN WHEN BOTH. SO
ONLY THE PORT THE IS A WHOLE.
GIVE EMPLOYMENT THIS BILL WILL
NOT ELIMINATE THE GENDER AND
RACE PAY GAP BUT THIS BILL
ACCOMPLISHES TWO MAJOR POLICIES
THESE ACTIVE SERVERS AS TOOLS
FIRST IT WILL SERVE AS A TOOL TO
NARROW PAGE I REQUEST. AN SHOP
BILLABLE KERN EMPLOYEES
INCLUDING THE MINIMUM AND
MAXIMUM SALARIES ON JOB POSTING
PROVIDING JOB SEEKERS WITH THE
INFORMATION NEEDED TO NEGOTIATE
SALARIES BUSINESS FISHER HIGHER
RETAIN THE BEST AND THAT MET
THEIR NEEDS THE AMENDMENTS ON
THE FOURTEEN. THIS GAME. ANY
SALARY AND PROMOTION
NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS BEFORE
THEY CAN BE SUED UNDER PAGA.
INSTEAD IT ALL IMPLEMENTATION
CONCERNS BY PROVIDING A
MECHANISM FOR EMPLOYERS TO A
DEBT ADDRESSED URGENT PERSONAL
VACANCIES ALLOWING FOR TEMP RE
AND IN. APPOINTMENTS SECOND LIEN
. EXISTING REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS UNDER SB NINE SEVEN
NINE SEVENTY THREE BY REQUIRING
COMPANIES TO PUBLICLY REPORT HE
TO CONDUCT BY RACE IF THE AND-
FOR BOTH DISTRICT DIRECTORS AND
EMPLOYEES HAVE. RT THINKING.
MANY MAJOR COME READY TO CLOSING
THERE WERE FOR STATE AS PART OF
THEIR COMMIT TO DEBORAH BUT HE
AND- BUT IF TOLL JEFF. THANK OF
THE TOP ONE HUNDRED PUBLICLY
TRADED IN THE U. S. TRANSPARENCY
IS. VALLAPUDUA LAST YEAR A STUDY
FROM JUST CAPITAL AND THE HARRIS
POLL FOUND THAT 73% OF AMERICANS
WANT COMPANIES TO POP THE DISC.
R. FOR COMPANIES THIRTY FIVE. WE
MUST DISCLOSE THEIR PAY THE PAY
GAP HAS SHRUNK BY 7% FOR THOSE
REPORTING AND IT'S THE SAME FOR
THE BENEATH THAT DIDN'T HAVE TO
REPORT. AMENDMENT PAGE LEVIN IN
TWELVE AND SUMMARIZED ON PAGE
FOURTEEN AND FIFTEEN PREVENT
PLAINTIFFS FROM PURSUING
LAWSUITS AGAINST EMPLOYERS BAY
ON THE- EMPLOYER. THE M. A AND
FEES IN THE OF PAY DATA TO
COMPANIES WITH TWO HUNDRED AND
FIFTY OR MORE AND BY TWENTY SIX.
THIS WOULD ONLY AND- POINT 5%
AGAIN POINT 5% OF BUSINESSES AND
IT WOULD COVER 29% OF WORKERS
THIS APPROACH ALSO GIVES
EMPLOYERS TIME TO COME I AM AN
ANSWER BORDERS HAVE FOURTEEN
PROVIDE. AND FOR ME A COPY OF
THE PUBLIC OF THEIR PAPER TO
REPORT. WE MUST INCREASE PAY
TRANSPARENCY IN ORDER TO NARROW
THE GENDER AND RACIAL WAGE GAP
WHICH PREVENTS WHAT IN
PARTICULARLY WOMEN OF COLOR FROM
A CHEEKY ACHIEVING. THE ORTEGA.
HOW DID MEANINGFUL STEP TO
NARROW THE GENDER AND RACIAL PAY

MISTER CHAIR INTO YOUR COMMITTEE
STAFFER WORKING WITH US ON THIS
BILL I THINK WE ALL ARE THE SAME
. ULTIMATELY BUT- TAKING US LONG

OF CONTRIBUTORS TO THE PAY GAP.
AND BECAUSE COME. SIMPLY NOT UP
STEPS ON THEIR OWN TO FIX THE
PROBLEM FAST ENOUGH ALL WOMEN
AND PEOPLE OF COLOR LOSING BILL.
DOLLARS THEIR CLOTHES. WE'VE GOT
IS NOT JUST ABOUT AND SHE EVEN
PAY FOR WORK IT IS ALSO ABOUT
ENSURING FAIR EQUITABLE FROM AND
PRACTICES WHICH IS WHAT THE BILL
WILL DEAL FOR EXAMPLE COME IN
AND LOOK AT. HOW MUCH THEIR- AND
FIND AND- REYES. GENDER THIRTIES
BUT IF YOU HAVE FORTY MALE
EXECUTIVES AND ONE FEMALE
EXECUTIVES YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE AN
EQUAL PAY VIOLATION BUT YOU
STILL HAVE A PROBLEM. IF A
COMPANY. PAINTER AND ASSESSES
THE MAKE SURE THAT MAKE SURE
THAT THERE'S NO GENDER OR RACE
BASED PAID VERY YOU DON'T BY
LISTEN PUBLISHED WOMEN OF COLOR
ARE THE ONES DOING THE JOBS. AND
THAT'S WHAT THIS ILL IS ABOUT
THE PURPOSE OF. HE GOT THESE ARE
BIG PICTURE REPORTS THAT ALLOW
YOU TO ASSESS WHERE WOMEN AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE CONCENTRATED
OR UNDER. SENATE IN. AB AND
CATEGORIES AND THIS IS BASED ON
AGGREGATE PAY DATA AND JOB
CLASSIFICATION AND LAST MONTH
THE DPH RELEASED FINDINGS BASED
ON THESE REPORTS WHICH IS IN
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS AT PRESENT.
NOTED THAT. OVER A ENOUGH A BAND
HIGHER PAYING JOBS AND WOMEN
PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE OVER
REPRESENTED IN THE LOWER LOWER
PAY BANDS OF THE LOWER PAYING
JOBS. AND THIS IS PART OF THE
PAY GAP THEY GETS FAR LESS
ATTENTION BUT IS JUST AS
IMPORTANT. AND LAST MONTH A FEW
TURNING. THE FIRM WHAT.
REQUIRING EMPLOYERS TO ACTUALLY
DISCLOSE THESE PAY DATA REPORTS
TO THEIR WORKERS BECAUSE IT'S
ABOUT ACCOUNT OF. IN PEOPLE.

COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND I AM
GOING TO SAY- THAT I'VE YOU KNOW
I'VE HEARD ALL OF THAT SUPPORT
ME OPPOSITION AND I WANT TO
THINK- SYNERGY ONE FOR. FOR
TACKLING THIS THIS IS NOT AN
EASY AND EASY- BELT CRAFT A
SOLUTION FOR- THERE'S NO
QUESTION WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS
PAY EQUITY ISSUES- AND WE'VE
BEEN. TALKING ABOUT THESE EQUITY
ISSUES FOR THIRTY YEARS- AND THE
GAP DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER. DOES
IT YOU KNOW WE'VE WORKED ON IT
HERE IN THE LEGISLATURE AND I
THINK WE'RE WE'RE GETTING THERE
BUT- BUT IT'S A PROCESS AND PART
OF THAT PROCESS IS SET. SHINING
SUNLIGHT ON. WHAT KIND OF WORK
PEOPLE ARE DOING. HOW MUCH
THEY'RE EARNING AND WHETHER
OTHER PEOPLE SIMILAR SIMILARLY
SITUATED ARE EARNING THE SAME
AND I THINK THERE'S THIS THIS
BELIEF IN THE COMMUNITY THAT MEN
NEED TO WORK MORE THAN WOMEN AND
SO THEY SHOULD GET PAID MORE AND
THAT'S JUST THAT'S NOT THE CASE
ANYMORE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN OUR
SOCIETY FIFTY YEARS AGO SIXTY
YEARS AGO BUT IT'S NOT NOW-
WOMEN NEED TO. WORK AT- MONEY
JUST LIKE MEN DO AND SO WHEN I
THINK YOU FOR TACKLING THIS- I
KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
DISCUSS. WITH THE OPPOSITION.
TECHNICAL FIXES. TO RELIEVE SOME
OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN
RAISED AND I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR TAKING THE- AT THE AMENDS
BECAUSE THEY ADDRESS SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED AND
I AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT

APPROPRIATE MISTER CHAIR I'D
LIKE TO MOVE ABOUT. I THANK YOU
CYNICAL THANK YOU SEVERAL OTHER
QUESTIONS THE CENTER THE RUSSELL. YES I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR
. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GOING
WHATEVER YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
RIGHT NOW TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
BILL- YOU KNOW GETS HEARD AND
GETS VOTED ON- IT'S REALLY
INTERESTING TO SAY. **** ARE
COMPANIES GO TO BE PUBLICLY
SHAMED. WELL IF YOU THINK YOU'RE
GONNA BE PUBLICLY SHAMED AND FIX
THE PROBLEM- YOU KNOW JUST
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WE- ALL AROUND
THE EDGES WE GO AROUND THE EDGES
AND THIS ISN'T EVEN REALLY
HITTING AT THE HEART OF THE
PROBLEM- BUSINESSES TO KEEP ON
ACTING THIS WAY WITH WOMEN. IT'S
SHAMEFUL. MAYBE THE BE SHAMED
PUBLICLY THIS IS NOT I KNOW THE
PURPOSE THE INTENTION I KNOW
THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.
BUT I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU SENATOR ALSO OTHER

ARE STILL PLACES THAT YOU COULD
WORK TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE I
THINK TAKE COULD BE A MESS. IF
COMMITTEE ADDRESS. YOU THINK
KERR THE- THE CONCERNS THAT
AROUND SO I THINK THAT THE
AMENDMENTS I TUCK ADDRESS SOME
OF THE CONCERNS BUT AS YOU HEARD
OPPOSITION SAY THAT THERE'S
NOTHING I CAN DO THERE ARE NO
AMENDMENTS. THAT THE OPPOSITION
HAVE. THAT NO I CONTINUE TO
LISTEN AND SEE IF THERE'S PLACES
WHERE WE CAN WORK BUT WHEN

AGAIN THANK TO THE AT U. S.
CENTER. KIND OF MET WHAT AN
AUTHOR. BUT I ALSO WANT TO
RECOGNIZE WHAT MEMBERS OF
COMMITTEES GO THROUGH WHEN THEY
GET LOBBIED TO SIGNIFICANTLY ON
BOTH SIDES ON THESE DIFFERENT.
I'M THINK. AND I HAVE TO TELL
YOU I'VE ASKED MYSELF OVER AND
OVER AND OVER IF SHARING THE
TRUTH OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IS
THE ACT OF SHAMING AND I DON'T
BELIEVE IT IS GOING PUBLIC WHAT
THE REALITY IS I BELIEVE IS THE
ACT OF SHAMING I THINK THE ACT
OF SHAME COMES AND- I THINK THAT
. THE LATE THAT THAT INFORMATION
WILL NOT GO PUBLIC AND IT STARTS
AT A THOUSAND EMPLOYEES THEN
GOES DOWN TO EAT WE GET TO TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY EMPLOYEES. HE
AT. A SENATOR I GET- MENTIONED
WE HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO THIS
BILL DOESN'T TELL SOMEONE TO PAY
SOMEONE A CERTAIN SALARY OR
CERTAIN WAGE THIS BILL IS ABOUT
. UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING
AND WHAT OVER THREE OR FIVE
DECADES WE CONTINUE TO SEE THIS
PROBLEM AND THE MORE WE HIDE THE
DATA. THE HARDER GOING TO PRESS
TO ADDRESS THIS- AND SO
CERTAINLY I ALSO WANT TO RIP. A
LOT OF POSITION ROOM THERE ARE
COME NOW THAT ARE BE COMPANY
LIKE INTEL THAT IS OUR RELEASED
THIS INFORMATION THERE ARE
COMPANIES NATIONALLY AND IN THE
STATE WHO ARE DOING IT ON THEIR
OWN. BECAUSE THEY- AND THE-
PLEASE. ABLE TO. YOU KNOW THE
MAY- OF REALLY THEIR JOB IN
THEIR WORK FORCE BY BEING
TRANSPARENT ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW
DESPITE WHAT HAS BEEN SAID- AND
REFERENCING BILLS THAT ARE NOT
IN THIS COMMITTEE- OR IF THEY
HAVE EVEN MADE IT. TO LAW I
THINK IT'S ALSO IN INTO USE DATA
TO INFORM OUR DECISIONS I'M
SOMETIMES IN OUR WHERE YOU KNOW
PEOPLE SAY OH YOU SHOULD START
JUST YOU KNOW ASKING FOR. THERE
WERE AT AND IF THE JOB. RIGHT
IT'S LIKE OKAY WELL THERE'S NO
THERE'S NO REAL REGULATION
THERE- IT'S ALSO YOU KNOW
FASTENING IMPORTANT TO RECOGNIZE
THAT THE WHEAT THIS DATA
COMPANIES OF A HUNDRED OR MORE
EMPLOYEES ARE ALREADY REPORTING
THE STATE IT'S JUST NOT PUBLIC.
SO WE'RE NOT ASKING THEM. TO DO
SOMETHING THAT THEIR- NO. FIGURE
OUT HOW DO WE THIS AND WE ALSO
ARE LOOKING FOR YOU KNOW FOLKS
IN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY TO BE
PARTNERS INSTEAD OF OPPOSING AND
YOU KNOW AGREEING WITH THE
STATUS QUO THAT WE DON'T WANT.
TO PAY A YOU KNOW IN THE SAME
LIGHT AT MEN AND WOMEN AND YOU
KNOW AFRICAN AMERICANS AND I
HAVE I FEEL LIKE IT'S JUST
INPUT. SAY LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENING
AND LET'S LOOK AT THE DATA
TOGETHER TO OUT HOW WE ADDRESS
THIS. ARE NOT AND IT SAYS. FOR
NINE AM I WANT. MY BILL ALONE
WON'T DO IT MY BILL IS REALLY
ABOUT HAVING INFORMATION SO THAT
WE CAN UNDERSTAND. WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH THESE COMPANIES.

CALIFORNIA WHO CAN. FROM HEALTHY
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND- I THINK
THAT WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT
ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE FINANCIAL
PRODUCTS LIKE LO FI BANK
ACCOUNTS AND MORTGAGES OR SMALL
BUSINESS LOANS WITH FARE RATES
IT'S A POSITIVE THING FOR OUR
CONSTITUENTS. IT INTO MANY
PLACES ACROSS THE STATE
SPECIALLY IN LOWER INCOME
COMMUNITIES COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
AND RURAL COMMUNITIES ARE
CONSTITUENTS NOT ENJOY. ACCESS
AS WEALTHIER AND MORE DENSELY
POPULATED AREAS BACK IN THE
NINETEEN SEVENTIES FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TRIED TO ADDRESS
THESE DISPARITIES BY PASSING THE
COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT ACT KNOWN
AS THE C. R. EIGHT WHICH-ESTABLISHES A FRAMEWORK TO
EVALUATE HOW WELL BANKS. ARE
MEETING THE FINANCIAL SERVICES
NEED TO THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH
THEY DO BUSINESS. THE FEDERAL
CRA IS NOT PERFECT AND ONE OF
THE WAYS IF FALL SHORT IS THAT
IT COVERS ONLY BANKS THIS MAY
HAVE BEEN REASONABLE IN THE
NINETEEN SEVENTIES WHEN BANKS
HOW MANY DID THE FINANCIAL.
TIMES BUT FAST FORWARD TO TODAY
HAVE A VARIETY OF FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE NOT
EVAPORATED FOR HOW WELL THEY ARE
SERVING UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES

THE FINANCIAL CONSEQUENCES OF
THAT GAP WHETHER IT BE LESS
LIKELY TO HAVE MONEY FOR A DOWN

ALSO THE THING THAT MUST ADDRESS
WHEN IT COMES TO INTERACTING
WITH FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS I IS
. TO TRY. OKAY KING AND BANKING
HEARING TO BE TREATED
DIFFERENTLY. DECADES OF BEING
OFFERED STEPS STANDARD PRODUCTS
IF ANY AT ALL. AND THOSE DECADES
OF EXPERIENCE IS NOT JUST OUR
OWN GENERATION BUT ALSO THE
GENERATIONS THAT CAME BEFORE US.
ALL OF THAT EXPERIENCE CREEPS
ARE PREDICTIONS TODAY. THE
FEDERAL DID NOT EXT. FOR RAY. IN
AT THE- OF.
FINANCIAL SERVICES EVEN AS OUR
COUNTRY HAS MADE PROGRESS IN
NARROWING THE WAGE GAP THE GAP
IN HOME OWNERSHIP RATES. BETWEEN

COMMITTEE STAFF WHO'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH THIS CLOSELY ON
THIS BILL I SB EIGHT SIXTY THREE
WOULD ALLOW DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
DEATH REVIEW TEAMS TO EXAMINE
YOUR DEATH INCIDENTS OF DOMESTIC
ABUSE BEFORE I BEGIN TO CLARIFY
I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEES. RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS TODAY. WHILE FEW ARE
FAMILIAR THE WORK OF DEATH
REVIEW TEAMS THEY PLAY A CRUCIAL
ROLE IN CREATING THE DATA AND
RESEARCH ON THE CAUSES. OF
DOMESTIC ABUSE RELATED
FATALITIES WITH THE GOAL OF
PREVENTING FUTURE SUCH
TRAGEDIES. THAT THE REVIEW TEAMS
ARE OPTIONAL FOR COUNTIES AND
ARE COMPRISED OF. TEARS FROM
BILL. ADVOCATE IN JUDICIAL GROUP
. THEY WORK WITH ONE FOR TO
PROVIDE A CONFIDENTIAL FORUM TO
SYSTEMATICALLY REVIEWED DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE RELATED DEATHS. HOWEVER
CURRENTLY CALIFORNIA LAW
CURRENTLY LIMITS THESE TEAMS TO
ONLY INVESTIGATE AND RESEARCH
SITUATIONS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE
ABUSE THAT ACTUALLY RESULT IN
DEATH- THIS IGNORES A INCREDIBLY
LARGE NUMBER OF INCREDIBLY
SERIOUS. MYSTIC VIOLENCE WHERE
THE- PARTY CAME VERY CLOSE TO
BUT DID NOT ACTUALLY SUCCEED IN
PULLING THE SURVIVOR. ON TO MY
LEVEL OR SEEN MANY STATES
RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF
INVESTIGATING YOUR DEATH
INCIDENTS AND EXPANDING THE ROLE
OF DEATH REVIEW TEAMS. SINCE TWO
THOUSAND FOR A THIRD OF STATE
LEGISLATURE LIVES AROUND THE
COUNTRY HAVE PASSED US UP. THE
RISING ARE THESE TEAMS. L. HELP
USUALLY. IN AREAS LIKE THIS BUT
HE- ARE OUTDATED LAWS ARE
PREVENTING OUR ABILITY TO
CONDUCT COMPREHENSIVE RESEARCH
THAT WILL CLEARLY HELP PREVENT
FUTURE DEBTS. TO SUPPORT THE
ROLE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DEATH
REVIEW TEAMS PLAY IN PROTECTING
SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SB EIGHT SIXTY THREE. WOULD
AUTHORIZE TEAMS TO INVESTIGATE
YOUR DEATH INCIDENTS AND I WANT
TO CLARIFY THAT. BILL IS IT THIS
DOESN'T THINK TO EXPAND OR
CHANGE CRIMINAL LIABILITY.
ASSERTIONS OF OPPOSITION. TO
ACTUALLY DOES NOT CHANGE A LOT
SIMPLY EXPANSIVE BILITY OF-
THESE REVIEW TEAMS TO REVIEW A
BROADER ARRAY OF CASES. BY
BRINGING CALIFORNIA ALIGNMENT
WITH NUMEROUS OTHER STATES THE
BILL WOULD PROMOTE THAT CRUCIAL
WORK OF THE VIEW TEAMS AND SO
FORTH. EFFORTS TO. THIS OF

ADDRESS A PERVASIVE- FORM OF
ABUSE DEFINED HERE'S ECONOMIC
PORTION WHICH AFFECTS. THE
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ALL TOO OFTEN.
I AND IS ALSO FREQUENTLY WITH
SENIOR CITIZENS AND FOSTER
YOUTH. THIS ABUSE CAN LOOK LIKE
IN THE FOLLOWING WITHHOLDING
MONEY BEING A PARTNER AN
ALLOWANCE- OF FORCING OR
THREATEN A PARTNER TO FILE
FRAUDULENT LEGAL DOCUMENTS OR
SPEND CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF MONEY
AGAINST THEIR WILL. THREATENING
THIS WILL SAVE YOUR WELL BEING
OF THE SURVIVOR IF THEY DO NOT
AGREE TO MAKE CERTAIN PURPOSE

ASSAULT INCREDIBLY COMMON TACTIC
OF FINANCIAL. AND NINE PER. BUT
SHIPS. IS TO PRIVATE. STICKLE A-
SEEKING TO THESE ABUSIVE.
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT ACCESS TO
ECONOMIC RESOURCES IS THE MOST
LIKELY PREDICTOR OF WHETHER
SURVIVOR WILL EIGHT- ACTUALLY
CURRENTLY SEPARATE FROM THEIR
ABUSIVE PARTNER IN A TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE STEP OF 85%
VICTIM RETURNED TO THEIR VIEW
PART A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER CITED
AN INABILITY TO ADDRESS THEIR
FINANCES AS THE REASON THEY WENT
BACK. IT'S NOT AN EXAGGERATION

AND THE COMMISSION. CAN I HAVE
BEEN IN CLOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH
OPPOSITION OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
REALLY FOR LAST YEAR AND A HALF
AND YOU MAY RECALL THAT I PULLED
THE BILL LAST YEAR BECAUSE I
FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT RIGHT THAT
POINT. SUPP ACTIVELY SOUGHT
DISCUSSED THIS AND FEEDBACK FROM
OPPOSITION GROUPS AND WE'VE
TAKEN A NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS
ALONG THE WAY THAT HAVE REMOVED
OPPOSITION FROM VARIOUS GROUPS-
WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING
THE DIALOGUE ON THIS MEASURE-
THE GOAL OF THIS BILL IS NOT UP.
TO THE MAX ISN'T A GREAT GROUP.
OF THE BUTTE. READ AND
PERNICIOUS. THAT COERCED DEBT
CAN PREVENT PEOPLE KIND
PRIMARILY WOMEN FROM LEAVING
ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS THAT THEY
THAT CAN END UP IN DEATH FOR
THEM. I WILL TRY TO CREATE A
NARROW EXCEPTION THAT ALLOWS THE
SURVIVORS TO SKIP THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS THAT WILL
HOPEFULLY NOT ONE THAT IS RIFE
WITH ABUSE- AND SWEET LOOKING
FOR DESTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK TO TRY
TO MAKE THIS BILL BETTER. WE
WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO ALONG THE

THANK YOU. THEN FURTHER AT THE
FINE ALREADY THANK YOU NOW LET'S
TURN TO OPPOSITION- WE HAVE MR
WILSON AND MR GOVERNOR HERE IN
THE HEARING ROOM IN OPPOSITION
DO SB NINE SEVENTY FIVE. GOOD
AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
ROB WELLS WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CREDIT YOU. APPLE OPPOSITION SB
NINE SEVENTY FIVE THERE'S NO
QUESTION THAT FINANCIAL ABUSES
DESTRUCTIVE WHICH IS WHY WE ARE
COMMITTED TO PROVIDING REAL
VICTIMS WITH REAL RELIEF IN A
WAY THAT IS NOT RECOUNTED ON THE
FINANCIAL MARKET PLACE.
UNFORTUNATELY NINE SEVENTY FIVE
IS NOT A CALL VOTE THIS AND
INSTEAD SUFFERS FROM NUMEROUS.
MENTAL FIRST THE MEASURE TREATED
PREDATOR WORSEN THE- SB NINE
SEVENTY FIVE RIDGE NEW CAUSE OF
ACTION FOR THE NEW CRIME
ACCORDING TO DEBT. WHERE THE
CLAIM IS NOT THE PERPETRATOR THE
CRIME BUT A PARTY WHO'S
COLLECTING ON THE BALLOT DEBT.
RELIEF TO THE DEBTORS IN THE
FORM OF UNILATERAL CANCELLATION
OF THE DEAD ITS ENTIRETY. YET
ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION IS MADE.
OUT OF A DRUG ADDITION IS ABSENT
REQUIREMENT EVEN NAME THE
PERPETRATOR EVEN THOUGH THE IN
THE NATURE OF THIS CRIME
INDICATES THAT THE USERS NOW.
WHICH MEANS THAT THE PENALTY
THIS CRIME IS ON THE LENDERS
HAVE NO PATH WOULD BE. MADE
WHOLE. A CREDITOR WOULD NOT AND
SHOULD NOT HAVE INFORMATION
REGARDING REGARDING A DEBTOR'S
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. NOR THE
NATURE OF THE ABUSE IN ORDER TO
REBUT THE PRESUMPTION. THE
MEASURE STATES THAT ACCREDITORS
NOT PREVENTED FROM ENFORCING A
DEBT HOWEVER MERELY STATING THAT
A CREDITOR. CAN COLLECT IS NOT
GIVEN THE LEGAL AUTHORITY TO DO
SO. MANY GETS A PERPETRATOR AS A
RESPONSIBLE PARTY AS NECESSARY
TO ACCOMPLISH THAT GOAL. THE
MEASURE CONTAINS A MULTITUDE OF
OTHER SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WHICH
ARE LETTER EXPANSIVE POINT SUCH
AS DESPITE THE RECENT AMENDMENT
THE SCOPE REMAINS VIRTUALLY
ENDLESS WITHOUT GUARDRAILS IN
THE TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT QUALIFIED
DEBTOR FOR RELIEF. AND THERE'S
LITTLE NO PROTECTIONS FOR
CREDITORS AGAINST COLLUSION AND
FRAUDULENT CLAIMS WHICH MEANS
BAD ACTS HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE BY
MAKING FALSE ALLEGATIONS.
MEMBERS SB NINE SEVENTY FIVE UP
AND SPOTIFY CONTRACTS THE
REVOCATION TO FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS AND THE BILL BE
CREDIT WILL NOT BE SMALL
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS BILLS
HOPING TO HELP. FOR THOSE
REASONS WE MUST CONTINUALLY
RIGHT TO OPPOSE SB NINE SEVENTY
FIVE I RESPECTFULLY IMPLORE THE
COMMITTEE AND THE PROPONENT TO
CONSIDER OTHER SUCH AVENUE SUCH
AS RE EXAMINE TWENTY FIVE
SEVENTEEN WHICH JUST BECAME IN
WHICH WE JUST BECAME ACTIVE.
THIS JANUARY STARTING THE
ANALYSIS. LEVERAGING THE VICTIM
COMPENSATION FUND OR EXAM ONLY.
PROBABLY TO THE USER I LOOK
FORWARD HAVING CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE AUTHOR AND APPRECIATE
YOUR TIME THANK YOU THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT THIS GOVERNOR. MISTER
CHAIR MEMBER SCOTT GOVERNOR
BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA FINANCIAL
SERVICES ASSOCIATION. CERTAINLY
THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT
WE WOULD LIKE TO HELP RESOLVE-
BUT THIS IS NOT A NARAL BILLS
SUGGESTED BY THE SENATOR. OUR
PARTICULAR CONCERN RELATES TO
PERSONAL PROPERTY THAT IS CARS
MOTORCYCLES THOSE. VEHICLES
GENERALLY- AS THIS BILL IS
DRAFTED UP PEOPLE WOULD BE ABLE
TO KEEP THOSE VEHICLES- BECAUSE
THERE'S NO WAY TO RECOVER THEM.
THE AUTHOR ADDED PROVISION WHICH
SAID YOU CAN FORCE A LEAD. IS
NOT A TERM REFERENCING THE
REPOSSESSION ACTIONS AT ALL.
WHAT IT ALSO MEANS IS THAT AS
THE QUARTER. AFTER A WHILE THE
NOTICE OF INTENT WITH THE DMV GO
THROUGH THE ENTIRE REPOSSESSION
. IT TO RECOVER SOME THAT IS
YOURS WHAT THE BORROWER IS DOING
UNDER THE SITUATION IS
RESCINDING THE AGREEMENT UNDER
RECISION EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO
SQUARE ONE. YOU HAVE THE
CONTRACT CANCELLED THE VEHICLE
THE PROPERTY GOES BACK TO THE
LEGAL OWNER BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT
HAPPENS HERE HERE THE LEGAL
OWNER IS STUCK WITH THE BILL.
WITH VERY LITTLE RECOURSE TO GET
IT BACK BECAUSE AS MR WILSON
MENTIONED THERE ARE NO PENALTIES
ON THE PERPETRATOR HERE. THEY
COULD COLLUDE TERRIBLE THING
WITH THE VICTIM ALLEGED VICTIM
AND JUST KEEP PLAYING HIDE AND
SEEK WITH THAT VEHICLE AND WE
CAN'T GET IT BACK. IT'S ALSO
WORTH NOTING THAT BY ENFORCING
THE LIEN CARE ACTUALLY LEAVING
OUT OTHER FORMS OF PERSONAL
PROPERTY THAT IS. APPLIANCES
FURNITURE THOSE ITEMS WE HAVE A
SECURITY INTO. IN THOSE YES THIS
. SO YOU CANCEL THE CONTRACT AND
YOU KEEP EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS AGAIN WE GO
BACK TO THE NOTION THAT THE
EXAMPLES ARE REFER TO CREDIT
CARD DEBT OR KIND OF THEFT OF
FUNDS WITH A PERSONAL PROPERTY
SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THIS BILL
ENTIRELY AND THAT WAS REALLY GO
A LONG WAY. OUR BURNS SO. THEY
YOU MISTER. ALL RIGHT OTHERS THE
ROOM OTHERS IN THE HEARING ROOM%
IN OPPOSITION TO SB NINE SEVENTY
FIVE. PLEASE ENTER MEMBERS JAMIE
HAVE WITH THE JACK AND
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION THANK YOU
THANK YOU. OTHERS IN THE ROOM

THANK YOU. NINE THREE SIXTEEN.
GOOD AFTERNOON THEIR NUMBER IT
WILL BE ALL OVER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY BANKING
NETWORK AND A LOT OF THIS IS A
GIFT. THANK YOU. LINE FOR
THIRTEEN. THE FOURTEENTH I WOULD
BE ABLE TO SPEAK DURING THE
COURSE OF TIME I AM BUT I'M
CALLING ON BEHALF OF THE COURT I
AM KIND ENOUGH CONSIDERING IF
YOU I'M HALF OF THE LAWYERS
COMMITTEE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS THANK
YOU BAY AREA LUMINA. OKAY. IF
YOU WERE LINE FOR ALL FOUR.
MISTER CHAIRMAN SENATORS PUT
COSTA ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CREDITORS ARE
ASSOCIATION AND RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION THANK YOU THANK YOU.
AND LAST THREE NINETY SIX. ALL
RIGHT AFTERNOON MISTER BURKE.
NOW YOU CRAVE FOR THE CALIFORNIA
BANKERS ASSOCIATION ALSO
INTERGRAPH OPPOSITION FOR THE
RECORD PREVIOUSLY STATED BY MY
COLLEAGUES THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ALL RIGHT LET'S BRING
BACK TO COMMITTEE. SENATE WHITE
HOUSE KEEP. I'M SURE THE
CREDITORS- BAR IN FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS WILL FALL OFF THEIR
SEATS WHEN I'M SYMPATHETIC TO
THE CAUGHT THEIR OBJECTIONS THAT
THEY ARE RAISED- N. AND ALSO
JUST NOTING THAT I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU. PROVE IT WASN'T TO REST
IF. THAT THAT'S THEIR WORK
THAT'S NOT ARCHITECT OUR WORK
BUT THE QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW
DO YOU MARRY. TWENTY FIVE
SEVENTEEN WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING
HERE AND IN NINE SEVEN FIVE AND
I GUESS IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S A
JOINDER OF PARTIES RIGHT BECAUSE
YOU DON'T HAVE THE CREDITORS
INDEED TV ACTION AT THAT THAT
THAT THAT. AT THE- UNDER
GLORIOUS BILL BUT THEN YOU DON'T
HAVE THE ABUSER IN THIS ACTION
AGAINST THE CREDITORS AND IN THE
DC PARTICIPANTS JOINT LIABILITY
THEN YES YOU CAN GO AFTER CREDIT
BUT IF IT'S JUST I THINK WHAT
YOU'RE GETTING AT IS JUST. IT'S
JUST IT'S THE WIFE'S WERE THEY
ABUSED UP CREDIT IT'S NOT THE-
NOT THE ABUSERS HOW DO YOU JOIN
THOSE OTHER THAN. ALLOWING IF
YOU CREATING CAUSE OF ACTION
ALLOWING FOR THE JOINING OF THAT
THIRD. PARTY THAT'S- AGAIN I'M
I'M I'M THINKING AS I'M ASKING
THE QUESTION. IS I JUST AND I'LL
LET MY- MY FITNESS SPEAK AS WELL
BUT- I THINK AS I UNDERSTAND AB. TWO FIVE. THE IT. LEVERAGING
TO STAY THAT SOMEBODY WAS OR FOR
CERTAIN DEBTS THESE WERE THE
RESULT OF ECONOMIC VIEW ABUSE-
THIS IS A SEPARATE PROCESS FROM-
CANCELING THAT DEBT OR REMOVING
ANY KIND OF FINANCIAL LIABILITY-
AND SO THERE IS NO PROCESS IN
PLACE FOR DOING THAT THIS GOES A
STEP BEYOND THAT AND CREATES
THAT PROCESS SO SURVIVORS
ACTUALLY CAN ELIMINATE THAT DATA
AND- THAT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION
BUT I WILL ALLOW- LEE IF YOU
WOULD WILL NOT NECESSARILY BE
LIKE TO TAKE THAT. AS WELL. SURE
I DON'T HAVE A LOT TO ADD GAS
AND THAT ONE IS THAT IT IS A
TWENTY FIVE SEVENTEEN IT WOULD
BE- ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION THAT
COULD BE USED IN AN ACTION UNDER
AT THE NINE SEVENTY FIVE SO.
THEY WORK TOGETHER AND IN THAT
FAMILY COURT COULD IDENTIFY A
GUY AS BEING THE WORST WHICH
COULD THEN BE USED AS A PIECE OF
EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT A CLAIM
UNDER AT THE PROPERTY IDENTIFIED
IN IT YOU NINE SEVENTY FIVE.
OKAY I WE CAN STATE AGAIN I'M
NOT GONNA SPEAK FOR THE
CREDITORS PART BUT I THINK WHAT
THEY WOULD LIKE IT IS YES THE
SURVIVOR HAS PROVEN TO REST BUT
WE HAVE NOW HAVE A JUDGMENT
AGAINST. SOME OTHER PERSON WHO
IS THE REAL. PARTY IN INTEREST
I'M ON THE ISSUE OF RESCISSION
OF THE CONTRACT AND THE
SECURITY- AUTOMOBILES- THE ONLY
THING I.KNOW IS THAT THEY
CAN'T. THEY CAN'T SELL THAT CAR
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T BIG THEY THEY
GOT THE TIGHTLY GOT A BAD TITLE
BUT THEY CAN STILL DRIVE IT
AROUND. AND REGISTER IF THEY
CAN'T SELL TO SOMEBODY ELSE BUT
THEY JUST HAVE INDEFINITELY-
HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY THOUGHT TO.
THAT BECAUSE THAT SEEMS LIKE A
YEAH ADJUSTED. NO I AND I
ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THAT AND SO
I I'M SYMPATHETIC THE POINTS
RAISED BY MISTER GOVERNOR. I
THINK WITH THESE WERE LAID
AMENDMENTS AND THE GOAL WAS
ESSENTIALLY TO ADOPT A
RECESSIONARY APPROACH TO. THE
CONTRACT FOR THE LOAN OR THE
CREDIT EXTENDED- AND CERTAINLY
YOU KNOW IF YOU. YOU YOU KNOW
YOU HAVE WHETHER IT'S A SECURED
LOAN OR LOAN USED BY PARTICULAR
IDENTIFIABLE OBJECT. I DON'T
JUST GET THE PROPER CREDITS
BASIC CONTRACTS LAW. AND SO THE
GOAL HERE IS TO HAVE A DECISION
B. THE MEASURE AND WE CLEARLY
CAN CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE
BANKS THIS IS NOT A PERFECT
BILL. IT IS GETTING CLOSER TO
THAT THOUGH AND I CAN APPRECIATE
ACTUALLY THAT. PERSONALLY WAS.
IN WRESTLING. ACTIONS TO TRY TO
THIS BILL ON THE OTHER THE RIGHT
PLACE. AND WHY DIDN'T THIS
QUESTION REYES ONE OTHER CONCERN
BROUGHT UP BY MR WILSON. WHICH
IS THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE
CREDITOR I MEAN IT DID THE OF
THE USER WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE-
REQUIREMENT THAT- IT IS CERTAIN-
CERTAIN FORMS WERE HAPPY
ATTENDED THE PLEADINGS- BY THE
PERSON. THAT BE SURVIVORS
SEEKING TO HAVE THAT. THAT
CANCELED. ARE THE REASON WE
DON'T ALLOW HAPPENED
SPECIFICALLY CALL FOR IDENTITY
IS BECAUSE THAT. AS DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE ADVOCATES WILL TELL
YOU. I HE IS A RECIPE FOR
DISASTER THAT POTENTIALLY IT CAN
CAUSE ALL SORTS OF VIOLENT
SCENARIOS- SO WE'RE BEING
MINDFUL OF THE BALANCE HERE
BETWEEN THE SAFETY OF THE
SURVIVOR. AS WELL AS THAT TEN
AND WILL BE. AND FIT OF THIS
PROCESS. ALL RIGHT. COME CERN'S
OF CIRCLE HERE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIR RIGHT- CAN YOU
CAN YOU ARTICULATE A SITUATION
OTHER THAN A DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SITUATION WHERE YOU WOULD YOU
WOULD- YOU COULD SAY THAT- AND
I'M I'M LOOKING AT THAT IT WAS A
COERCED DEBT I. REAL TIME WITH
WITH THAT THAT THE CONCEPT IN IF%
IN ANY OTHER SITUATION OTHER
THAN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND- AND
IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT THAT
THIS IS MORE APPROPRIATELY-
SHOULD APPROPRIATELY BELOCATED
IN A IN A FAMILY LARA TO A
DOMESTIC- IN THE IN THE IN THE
RULES AROUND RELATIONSHIPS AS
OPPOSED TO- BEING APPLIED
BROADLY AND I AM STRUGGLING WITH
THAT AND I BELIEVE. THE FOR
FIVE. TWO IS. LIMITED TO- THREE
SITUATIONS- DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
ELDER OR DEPENDENT ADULT ABUSE I
GUESS FOR FOSTER YOUTH- THOSE
ARE THE SITUATIONS WE TO SPACE
SO- IN EACH OF THOSE SINNERS
OBVIOUSLY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS
THE ONE THAT IS THE PRIMARY
FOCUS OF THIS BUT A SIMILAR SET
OF ABUSIVE OR COERCIVE
CIRCUMSTANCES COULD ARISE IN-
WHO. WHO IN A SUBJECT TO THE
CARE OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR FOSTER
YOUTH- AND JUST AT THAT BAD ON
THIS IS ROOTED IN A DURESS
THEORY OF- CONTRACTS LAW THAT
THAT IS NOT NOVEL. IT'S WELL
ESTABLISHED IN COMMON LAW GOING
BACK TO ENGLAND SO- YOU KNOW WE
THINK THIS IS A NATURAL
EXTENSION THIS WORK WE'RE JUST
CLARIFYING THAT ECONOMIC
COERCION IS A FORM OF DIRECT
ESSENTIALLY. I AM THE IT IN ARE
ALREADY THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL
RIGHT CENTER BOARD JUST. KIND OF
IN LINE WITH CENTER COPY COVER
HEROES QUESTION IS. YOU HAVE
THREE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES HERE-
AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IS
THERE. IS THERE AN
ADMINISTRATIVE OPTIONS THAT IS
BEING OVERLOOKED IN FAVOR OF THE
COURT A LEGAL CAUSE OF ACTION.
WHAT I MEAN. IS THAT. MIGHT
THERE BE A SITUATION WHERE A CO
WORST DEPENDENT OR SPOUSE-
SUBMIT SOMETHING TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT. AS A AS A
PRECONDITION FOR SOMETHING LIKE
THIS THE EVIDENCE IS IN EARLY
STAGE. THAT THEY ARE ACTING
UNDER DURESS WITHOUT DISCLOSING
NECESSARILY IN ANOTHER
INFORMATION- THAT COULD PUT THEM
IN HARM'S WAY BECAUSE WHAT WE
HAVE HERE IS WE HAVE LENDERS
THAT THROUGH NO FAULT ON
MODERATOR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU
WANT TO. CLOSE OUT THE QUEUE-
LET ME SEE IF I CAN FIND LINE
THAT IS YOUR APOLOGIES FOR THAT. IF YOUR LINES ARE OPEN PREVIEW. I THINK WE'RE AND WHERE I'M
GOING IS THAT HAVE WE'VE
EXHAUSTED THE IDEA THAT THERE BE
OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE BECAUSE
WHEN YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE
LENDERS IN GOOD FAITH LAND TO A
PARTY THEY HAVE NO REASON TO
OBTAIN INSIGHT INTO THE DOMESTIC
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THAT HOUSEHOLD
OR WHETHER A HUSBAND OR A WIFE
OR SOME OTHER PARTNERSHIP. IS
TROUBLED THAT WOULD- THAT WOULD
PROHIBIT- THE CONTRACT FROM
BEING FILLED SO HOW DO YOU
BALANCE OUT THE INTERESTS OF THE
INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT HARMING THE-
SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE. PLACE
BECAUSE OUR BANKING AND LENDING
SYSTEM. IS ONE OF THE BEDROCK OF
HOW WE FUNCTION IF YOU TAKE IF
YOU INJECT A HIGH DEGREE OF
UNCERTAINTY WHICH A BILL LIKE
THIS COULD DO. AS A MEANS OF
FOLKS BEING ABLE TO GET OUT
SHOULD THEY REPRESENT THAT THEY
WERE UNHAPPY IN THEIR MARRIAGE
OR WERE UNDER YOU KNOW OR OR
WERE UNDER- SOME FORM OF
INTIMIDATION- I'M JUST. MORE OF
A DISCUSSION POINT LIKE HAVE WE
EXHAUSTED ALL IDEAS BEFORE
MOVING IN THIS COURSE OF ACTION-
WE'VE NOT EXHAUSTED ALL IDEAS OR
INPUT I WOULD SAY THAT. THE TO.
CHARACTERIZE THE PROCESS OF THIS
BILL IS MERELY SAYING I'M
UNHAPPY IN MY MARRIAGE OR I WAS
THREATENED IS NOT ACTUALLY AT
THIS BILL DOES YOU NEED SOME
KIND OF DOCUMENTATION WHETHER
POLICE REPORT. REPORT FROM A
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ABUSE
COUNSELOR- OR A JUDGE OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT YOU HAVE TO
ESTABLISH THAT YOU'RE IN AN
ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP OR SOME
MEASURE APPROVED. AND THAT DEBT
INCURRED WAS INCURRED DURING THE
PERIOD THAT ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP
AS A RESULT OF THE ABUSE. SO
THAT IS WHAT CREATES IN ORDER
MEANS THE IN BUT A MEANS- AND
APPROPRIATE TIME. BECAUSE IF MY
WIFE AND I- PURCHASED A CAR IN
WE WERE IN THIS. PARTICULAR CALL
STE. ALL BUT TEN YEARS OR YOU
KNOW FIVE YEARS INTO INTO THE
REPAYMENT. YOU KNOW- IT'S
DISCLOSED THE HARM COULD BE
BORNE BY THE LENDER THROUGH THIS
BILL SO THE IDEA IS AT IN
APPROPRIATE PERIOD OF TIME. IS
THERE IN ADMINISTRATIVE. ACTION
THAT COULD BE TAKEN THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE- I ALSO NOT UNCLEAR
INTERRUPT- CENTER- WHAT DO YOU
MEAN BY THE MINISTRY OF ACTION
IF YOU COULD GIVE ME SOME SENSE
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING OR- SOME OF
SOME OF MORE REALIZATION WHETHER
IT BE. WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT- OR
SOME OTHER ENTITY THAT
IDENTIFIES THAT I'M IN AN
ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. AND THIS
INDIVIDUALS CAPITALIZING ON MY
CREDIT AVAILABILITY IS PER
THING. THINGS I DON'T HAVE A
MEANS I DON'T HAVE THE MEANS OF
GETTING OUT OF IT. BUT I HAVE TO
DO NOT TO S. VOTED. OTHER CAR-
WHAT WHAT SO RESEARCH JOHNSON NO
I MEAN A- IT'S MORE OF A IT'S
NOT A ERROR IT'S KIND OF WHAT
WE'RE- PAID. FOR TRYING TO GET
AT IT AGAIN.
ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION WE'RE
TALKING THE POLICE REPORT
INDICATING THAT DEBT WAS
INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THAT
ARREST OR THREAT AND FTC
IDENTITY THEFT REPORT PLANS
AFTER WORK ORDER ISSUED SO THESE
ARE THE TYPES OF DOCUMENTATION
ON TALKING ABOUT. I SHARE YOUR
CONCERNS WE'RE NOT TRYING TO
DISRUPT THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM-
YOU KNOW LIKE I CUT MY TEETH IN
AN EARLIER LIFE- WORKING ON SOME
OF THE PROBLEMS WITH THE
MORTGAGE MARKETS. AND LANDING
AND WE HAVE A LOT OF SIMILAR
CONCERNS RAISED AROUND ONE OFFS-
YOU KNOW MORTGAGE RELIEF- LOAN
FORGIVENESS. BECAUSE THEY THEY
ALL DISRUPTING OF THE POTENTIAL
SECURITY PARTICULAR SECURITIZED
MARKETS. THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS THAT I DECIDED TO TAKE
OUT REAL PROPERTY- IS CONCERNED-
AND NOT JUST BY SOME OF THE
CONCERNS RAISED BY. BUT ALSO
ABOUT THE MBS MARKET GLOBALLY
AND I DID HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
THAT- SO WE MOVED AND THAT
REMOVED A LOT OPPOSITION TO WHAT
WE'RE TRYING OUR BEST TO TRY TO
NARROW THIS IN THE WAYS YOU
SUGGEST- AND I THINK THAT
ULTIMATELY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO HERE IS BALANCE THE FACT THAT
THERE ARE ACTUALLY LIKE A LOT OF
PEOPLE. WHO WE THINK WILL EITHER
LIVE MUCH BETTER LIVES OR LIVE
AS OPPOSED TO BEING IN ABUSIVE
RELATIONSHIPS OR DYING AS A
RESULT OF THAT THAT THIS BILL
CAN HELP AND WE'RE TRYING IT AND
BALANCE THAT AGAINST THE
CONCERNS RAISED WE DON'T WANT TO
GIVE A FREE PASS WE DON'T CREATE
A HUGE LOOPHOLE I THAT'S ONE OF
THE REASONS THAT WE PUT IN
PLACE- THIS PROVISION THAT. SAYS
AN ALLEGED DEBTOR WHO FALLS ON
MERITORIOUS MOTIONS PLEADINGS IT
CETERA SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE
ALLEGED PREDATORS IT TOURNEY'S
FEES AND COSTS NOTHING LAWSUIT
BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO OPEN UP
PRIVILEGE LITIGATION WE DON'T
WANT TO CREATE A MASSIVE
LOOPHOLE AND WILL CONTINUE TO
LOOK A CERTAIN SUGGESTIONS AND
FEEDBACK FROM OPPOSITION AND
OTHERS TO HELP US MAKE THIS BILL
BETTER THIS IS NOT A COMPLETED
PRODUCT I AM GOING TO CONTINUE
TO TRY AGAIN I. RECALL THAT I
DID THE BILL HERE WE MADE THE
VOTES BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUSH
THIS BILL THROUGH IN ITS FORM
THEN BECAUSE IF WE FOR LIKE BILL
NOT POINT YOU WANT TO DO. I COME
HERE. I IT'S IN YOUR MEN AND OF
COURSE IS WHAT'S WHAT'S TO
PREVENT FRAUD- I JUST DON'T WANT
TO PAY THIS AND NOW I START
MAKING ALLEGATIONS AND- AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR LAST
COMMENT THAT EXPLAINS IT TO ME-
I- EXPECT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE WORKING AND ADDRESS
SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT- THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION AND NOT SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY BUT I WILL I WANT TO.
SEE IT- GET BETTER BECAUSE I DO
THINK THAT THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE
YOU'RE YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING
AND THIS IS THIS IS IMPORTANT I
ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
NOT A TOOL TO BE ABLE TO AVOID
ON PAYING DEBTS THAT YOU
LEGITIMATELY. THAT YOU. NEED TO
RELEASED YOU DIDN'T OBJECT TO
AND THEN I GOT THIS- THIS BURDEN
ON ON THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AT
THAT IN IN GOOD FAITH MADE THE
VIDEO. I THINK IT THOSE COMMENTS
AND I AGREE WITH THEM COMPLETELY
CENTER. ALL RIGHT- BILL'S BEEN
MOVED ON IN CENTER MAN I
APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK ON
THIS OVER THE LAST. EIGHTEEN
MONTHS OF IN A AND I KNOW YOU
ARE IN GOOD FAITH HERE AND
TRYING TO BALANCE THE INTERESTS
OF GOOD FAITH NON CULPABLE
LENDERS. WHO NEITHER KNOW NOR
SHOULD KNOW THAT THERE'S A
COURSE OF RELATIONSHIP AND OF
COURSE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO
IS ILLUSTRATED BY SOME OF THE
OPPONENTS. IS WHERE A ABUSIVE
SPOUSE COURSES THIS MOUSE FOR
EXAMPLE INTO BUYING A
LAMBORGHINI UNDER THEIR NAME
EXCLUSIVELY UNDER THE- ABUSE
SPOUSE'S NAME AND NOT BEING ABLE
TO REPOSSESS IT. I AM CONFIDENT
THAT YOU'RE GOING TO. DO THIS.
LAMBERT IN B. REPROCESSED.
NUMBER ONE. AND NUMBER TWO THIS
MISTER WILSON INDICATE. I UNDER
THE SCENARIO. FORTY THE
PERPETRATOR IS NOT NAMED IF FOR
EXAMPLE THE DEBT IS SOLELY
ANCHORED BY THE VIEWS SPOUSE. I
ALSO UNDERSTAND CENTER MINUTE
YOU'RE GOING TO WORK TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE PERPETRATOR IS NOT
SOMEHOW. AVOIDING INSTABILITY OR
LIABILITY. OF COURSE IF IT'S A
JOINT DEBT THE CREDITOR KANAME
BOTH BUT IF IT'S AN EXCLUSIVE
THAT. WE'LL WE'LL FIGURE OUT A
WAY TO MAKE SURE WE DO THAT AND
THEN THIRDLY JUST AS A MATTER OF
DISCLOSURE- ONE OF THE SPOT CO
SPONSORS THE PUBLIC LAWCENTER

SUBJECTED TO THREATS
INTIMIDATION AND SOMETIMES
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AT POLLING

IMPORTANT FOR CALIFORNIA TO TAKE
SIMILAR PROACTIVE STEPS IN ORDER

PEACE OF MIND TO OUR ELECTION

OFFICIAL TOLD US THAT THEY WERE
FORCED TO FLEE THEIR HOMES. A
RECENT SURVEY IN TWENTY TWENTY
TWO FOUND THAT ONE IN FOR LOCAL
AFFECT ALEXION OFFICIALS STILL
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING
ASSAULTED ON THE JOB. WHEN THEY
HAVE BEEN THREATENED AND THREE

WILL MAKE RECRUITMENT DIFFICULT.
MANY ELECTION OFFICIALS YOUR
EXPRESSED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE
THE TIME OR RESOURCES TO

SATISFACTION OF HAVING AN IMPACT

POSITIONS AND ALREADY 17% OF
CALIFORNIA'S. FIFTY EIGHT COUNTY

B. TEN EIGHTEEN. THANK YOU OF
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND-
SENATORS AND ACTUALLY IT'S QUITE
APPROPRIATE THAT I'M PRESENTING
THIS BILL TEN EIGHTEEN EMILY
AFTER THE PRESENTATION OF THE
BILL YOU JUST HEARD. IS NOTED IN
THE PREVIOUS TESTIMONY- ELECTION
WORKERS HAVE BEEN UNDER PERSONAL
THREAT- I KNOW PUBLIC HEALTH
WORKERS HAVE BEN UNDER PERSONAL
THREATEN WE'VE TRIED TO GET IN
THE SAME PROGRAM- AND SO THE
QUESTION WHY. WHAT'S CHANGED Y.
AS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. WE
HAVE. PEOPLE SERVING THE PUBLIC
WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC HEALTH CARE
ELECTIONS AND SO FORTH. WHO ARE
NOW SEEKING THE TYPES OF
PROTECTIONS. AND THE TYPES OF
PERSONAL TAXES THEY'RE SUFFERING
FROM AND THAT'S WHY I'M PROUD TO
PRESENT SB TEN EIGHTEEN THE
PLATFORM ACCOUNTABLY CHANCE
PARENTS THE ACT. I FIRST WANT TO
THANK THE CHAIR IN THE COMMITTEE
COUNCIL AND STAKEHOLDERS WORKING
SO DILIGENTLY ON THE PROPOSED
AMOUNT WHICH I AM ACCEPTING
THANK YOU. NO SOCIAL MEDIA
STREAMER WE CHANGE THE WAY WE
SHARE AND CONSUME INFORMATION
AND ACTUALLY INFLUENCES OUR
ACTIONS. AND YET WE KNOW LITTLE
ABOUT THE ALGORITHMS THAT
DETERMINE WHAT INFORMATION IS
PRESENTED. TO US. OR EVEN WHAT
IT MISINFORMATION TO PRESENTED
TO US. IN HER CONGRESSIONAL
TESTIMONY FACEBOOK WHISTLEBLOWER
FRANCIS HOW CAN EPLAIN HOW
FACEBOOK KNOWINGLY LEVERAGE
THEIR ALGORITHMS TO PRIORITIZE
PROFITS AND ENGAGEMENT WHICH
ALSO MEANT PROMOTING
MISINFORMATION- AND ANGER. OVER
CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY IN FACT IN
THE FALL OUT OF THE JANUARY
SIXTH ATTACK ON THE NATION'S
CAPITAL. THOUSANDS OF LEAKED
INTERNAL DOCUMENTS PROVE THAT
FACEBOOK PLAYED A LARGE ROLE IN
SPREADING INFLAMMATORY
MISINFORMATION ABOUT ELECTION
FRAUD AND AIDED COMMUNICATION
EFFORTS OF EXTREMIST MILITIAS.
THE HEAD OF THE RIOTS. SOCIAL
MEDIA ALGORITHMS ARE ALSO KEY
DISTRIBUTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH
MISINFORMATION AS ANALYSIS
POINTS OUT ONE STUDY FOUND THAT.
A MERE TWELVE PEOPLE. AND THEIR
ASSOCIATION RESPONSIBLE 465%
ALMOST TWO THIRDS OF ALL THE
VACCINE MISINFORMATION. ON
SOCIAL MEDIA TWITTER FACEBOOK
INSTAGRAM- WHICH COURT POSES AN
ENORMOUS DANGER PUBLIC HEALTH
AND IN FACT VERY RECENTLY A-
PAPER WAS PUBLISHED IN THE
SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL NATURE ONE
LEADING SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS IN
THE WORLD. SHOW THAT ONLINE
MISINFORMATION WAS DIRECTLY
LINKED TO KOBE NINETEEN VACCINE
HASN'T SEEN REFUSAL. IT'S CLEAR
THAT THESE ALGORITHMS HAVE A
PROPENSITY TO REINFORCE BIAS IN
THE QUALITY AND MISINFORMATION.
NOW TRANSPARENCY IS ESSENTIAL IN
UNDERSTANDING THE SOCIAL IMPACT
OF THESE ALGORITHMS. THIS BILL
IS ABOUT GIVIG THE PUBLIC THE
TOOLS- WE NEED TO HELP IDENTIFY
HOW THE SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
ARE IMPACTING OUR LIVES. SB TEN
EIGHTEEN REQUIRES ONLINE SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORMS TO MAKE ANNUAL
PUBLIC DISCLOSURES REGARDING
THEIR ALGORITHMS TO METRICS AS
WELL AS THE CONTENT MODERATION
EFFORTS. THESE REPORTS WILL
INCLUDE DESCRIPTION OF ALL
PRODUCT FEATURES THAT MAKE USE
OF ALGORITHMS DURING THE
REPORTING PERIOD AND THE SUMMARY
OF METRICS USED BY THE PLATFORM
TO SCORE RANK CONTENT. WITHOUT
DISSEMINATING TRADE SECRETS SO
WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR DETAILS
RESTING FOR SUMMARIES. SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORMS AND MANY OF YOU
PERHAPS OF USE THAT TURN YOUR
FAMILY MEMBERS. HAVE ENORMOUS
POWER TO AFFECT WHAT WE SEE HOW
WE FEEL BUT WE BELIEVE. AND YET
HOW THE OPERATE REMAINS
EXTREMELY OPAQUE. I WOULD ALSO
MAKE NOTE THAT ONE OF OUR
LEADING SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
FACEBOOK IS SUCH A CONTROLLED BY
ONE PERSON. ONE MAN MARK
ZUCKERBERG AND ABOUT TO HAVE
ANOTHER MAJOR SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORM TWITTER THAT'S GONNA BE
TAKEN PRIVATE BY AGAIN ANOTHER
SINGLE MAN. BILLIONAIRE SO
THEY'RE NOT EVEN ACCOUNTABLE TO
THE PUBLIC THEIR NAME
ACCOUNTABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS.
DURING CONTROLLED BY A SINGLE
PERSON. SO ULTIMATELY SB TEN
EIGHTEEN IS A NECESSARY STEP TO
ENSURE TRANSPARENCY TO WORK WITH
SO MUCH I MEAN I FEEL JUST KNOW
HOW THEY OPERATE RIGHT. THERE'S
AN ACCOUNTABILITY IN THIS
POWERFUL BURGEONING INDUSTRY.
AND SO- TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT I
HAVE PROFESSOR NATHANIEL PERSILY
PROFESSOR OF LAW AT STANFORD
UNIVERSITY AND THE AUTHOR TO
FEDERAL PLATFORM ACCOUNTABILITY
TRANSPARENCY ACT. THE DESKSIDE
SUPPORT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
NIGHT BUT THANK YOU. ALREADY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- SO-
PROFESSOR. PERSILY IF YOU'RE ON
THE PHONE PLEASE IDENTIFY. YES
CAN YOU HEAR ME OK YES WE CAN.
WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
CHAIRMAN THANK YOU CENTER COURT
AGREED USELESS LEGISLATION I HAD
NEVER- AND THIS IS- YOU KNOW A
CRITICAL PIECE OF LEGISLATION AT
A CRITICAL TIME. WE CANNOT LIVE
IN A WORLD WHERE FACEBOOK AND
GOOGLE KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT US
AND WE KNOW NEXT TO NOTHING
ABOUT THAT- AS AS INDEPENDENCE
MENTIONED- WE NOW OKAY YOU KNOW
THAT HE COULD BE MORE PRESSING.
ON THE DAY AFTER IT LOOKS LIKE-
THE SINGLE PERSON IS NOW GOING
TO PURCHASE WHAT HE DESCRIBED
THAT THE PUBLIC SQUARE. AND SO
IT'S EVER MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE
GET GREATER TRANSPARENCY IN
ALGORITHMS AND THE CONTENT
MODERATION PRACTICES OF THESE
LARGE FIRMS- AND THERE'S SEVERAL
REASONS FOR THAT THE FIRST. IS
THAT I. VERY DIFFICULT FOR US
RISE AT OTHER KIND OF- PUBLIC.
THE DEAL WITH THE LARGE
PLATFORMS WHETHER IT'S REGULARLY
AND- PRIVACY AND ALLOW. IF WE
HAVE GREATER TRANSPARENCY IT
WILL LEAD TO BETTER INFORM
DECISION MAKING FOR PUBLIC
POLICY MAKERS ARE BOOKING
CALIFORNIA AND AROUND THE WORLD.
I THINK IT WILL ACTUALLY HELP
THE FIRMS THEMSELVES I THINK-
REQUIRED THEIR PRODUCT BECAUSE
THEIR BEHAVIOR WILL CHANGE. IF
THEY KNOW THEY'RE THEY'RE BEING
WATCHED. AND THE THIRD IS IT
WILL HELP ALL OF US UNDERSTAND
LIFE ONLINE BECAUSE MORE MORE OF
OUR LIFE REQUIRING ONLINE. AND
SO WHETHER IT'S THE PATHOLOGIES
OF THE ONLINE INFORMATION
ECOSYSTEM. BE A PUBLIC HEALTH
THREAT SELECTION DID NOT
CONSPIRACY THEORY. ISSUES OF
CHILD THEY HAVE A LIFE OR DEATH
MORE MUNDANE TOPICS ABOUT- YOU
KNOW SORT OF HOW PEOPLE ARE
INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER WE
NEED TO HAVE. BETTER INFORMATION
ABOUT THE ONLINE INFORMATION
ECOSYSTEM. THERE ARE LOTS OF
BOOKS. ABOUT THE PREVALENCE DAY
AS HATE SPEECH DISINFORMATION OR
I'LL BUY IT I'M. MORGAN COLIN.
BUT WE CAN KNOW WHETHER THOSE
FOLKS. SURE THAT WE HAVE GREATER
. PLATFORM TO JUMP. OR DISPUTE
OF LEGISLATION. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ALL RIGHT- ELSE WE SHOULD
IN SO OF S. B. TEN A PRESENT
HEARING SEEING ONE ON THE PHONE
A MATTER MATTER IF YOU WOULD
QUEUE UP THOSE IN SUPPORT OF SB
TEN EIGHTEEN. THANK YOU TO CHECK
FOR PLEASE PRESS ONE ZERO AT
THIS TIME. CERTAINLY NINE Q. ALL
RIGHT. LET'S TURN NOW TO THE
OPPOSITION- I HAVE TWO WITNESSES
LIST IN OPPOSITION I SEE MISTER
HOFFMAN HERE MR OFTEN. THANK YOU
MR CENTER STILL HOFFMAN ON
BEHALF OF TACK MATCH-
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED TO THE
VERSION OF THE BILL THAT'S IN
PRINT- BUT WE'RE CURRENTLY
REVIEWING THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS- IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS AND REALLY APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF THE AUTHOR. AND THIS
COMMITTEE- THAT TO WORK TO
ADDRESS OUR CONCERNS- AS YOU
KNOW SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTABILITY
AND TRANSPARENCY HAS BEEN AN
ISSUE THAT THIS COMMITTEE HAS
CONSIDERED FOR THE BETTER PART
OF A YEAR- AND WE AGREE THAT IT
IS A VALUABLE CALL TO ADD
ADDITIONAL TRANSPARENCY- FROM
OUR PERSPECTIVE IT HELPS OUR-
CONSUMERS KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
THE- RULES THAT- WE EXPECT OF
THEM AND ALSO TO. HELP THEM
BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE
DOING TO PROTECT THEM FROM
HARMFUL CONTENT- AND WHERE THIS
BILL AND I THINK THE PROPOSED
LANGUAGE- THAT IS ACTUALLY AN
IMPROVEMENT UPON OTHER- TRANSFER
TO MEASURE. IS THAT I THINK IT
STRIKES A BETTER BALANCE- IN
WAYNE TRANSPARENCY SIX THREE-
BEFORE. THAT YOU OUR OUR- AND
AUTOMATED SYSTEMS- IDENTIFY
HARMFUL CONTENT AND REMOVE IT-
AND- YOU KNOW BY REQUIRING
SPECIFICS ABOUT HOW THOSE
SYSTEMS WORK- NOT ONLY
JEOPARDIZES PROPRIETY.
INFORMATION BUT CAN ACTUALLY
LEAD TO DECREASED SECURITY AND
MORE HARMFUL CONTENT SO WE THINK
THIS BILL- AS PROPOSED TO BE
AMENDED- STRIKES A BETTER
BALANCE IN THAT REGARD- AND SO
AS WE CONTINUE TO REVIEW THE
LANGUAGE WE MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL
SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS BUT-
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR- AND- COMMITTEE AS THE
BILL MOVES FORWARD. THANK YOU MR

SIXTY FIVE. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO
START BY THANKING THE CHAIRMAN
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
SO HARD WITH ME TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE GOT THIS BILL RIGHT NOW
WILL BE ACCEPTING THE PROPOSED
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS TODAY I'M
PROUD TO PRESENT SB TWELVE FIVE
IT'S A BILL THAT BACKS VICTIMS
AND CHILDREN. MEMBERS OUR
CHILDREN NEED US THERE HAVE BEEN
SO MANY CASES WHERE THEY WORK
CLEAR SIGNS OF ESCALATING
VIOLENT BEHAVIOR IS SO MANY
CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED
AND SO MANY VICTIMS COULD HAVE
BEEN SAVED BUT NOTHING IS BEING
DONE FOR VICTIMS WHO HAVE A
PROTECTIVE ORDER. HAVE REPORTED
SIGNS OF ETHICALLY. OR IT HEY
THERE ABUSERS TO THE COURTS I'VE
TALKED TO SEVERAL VICTIMS TO
SEEK. TO THE JUDGE AND REPORTED
THE ABUSER IS EITHER GOING TO
KILL ME OR KILL MY CHILDREN AND
THEY DID NOTHING. ANASTASIUS A
MOTHER MY DISTRICT WHO LOST HER
FIVE YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY TO. HIS
FATHER. KEPT GOING BACK AND
FORTH PLEADING WITH THE COURT TO
DO SOMETHING THAT THE FATHER WAS
DANGEROUS AND WAS HURTING THE
LITTLE BOY. AND THEY WOULD NOT
LISTEN. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. WE
JUST HAVE A CASE HERE IN
SACRAMENTO WHERE THREE LITTLE
GIRLS SAMARIA H. TEN SAMANTHA AT
ELEVEN THE MEDIA MARAGA TERRACE
H. THIRTEEN WERE FATALLY SHOT BY
THEIR FATHER. THAT I A PRIME
EXAMPLE EVEN WITH THE
RESTRAINING ORDER HE HAD- GONE.
THE PROTECTED PERSONS HOME EVEN
WITH THE RESTRAINING ORDER HE
HAD BEEN HELD ON INVOLUNTARY
PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION. AND ON
TOP OF THAT HAVE BEEN ARRESTED
FOR ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER
AND HEALTH CARE WORKER ONLY SIX
DAYS BEFORE THE MURDERS. THE
SIGNS WERE THERE THERE WERE
CLEAR SIGNS OF ESCALATING
BEHAVIOR BUT IT DIDN'T MATTER
THERE WAS NOTHING THAT. COULD
HAVE DONE. SNOWLINE IS THAT
REQUIRES TE COURT TO PROTECT
VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES I
THAT SITUATION. THIS BILL
ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE LOOPHOLE
AND GIVE THE PARENTS. JUST
BECAUSE THE JUDGE HAS GIVEN
VISITATION RIGHTS TO AN ABUSIVE
PARENT WITH THE RESTRAINING
ORDER DOESN'T MEAN THAT THE
DANGER IS OVER IN FACT THE
DANGER CONTINUES TO BE PRESIDENT
AND ANYTHING CAN SET OFF AN
ABUSER. SO NOW IT IS OUR JOB TO
SEE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING WE
CAN DO. ESCALATING BEHAVIOR IF
THERE IS A SIGN THAT THESE
CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER WE NEED
MUST ACT THIS BILL WILL GIVE THE
PAIR WITH THE PROTECTIVE ORDER
THE ABILITY TO PAUSE. GO BACK TO
COURT AND REASSESS THE DANGERS
TO HIM OR HERSELF AND THEIR
CHILDREN IT IS A MODEST WAY TO
GIVE HOPE TO SO MANY OF THESE
CHILDREN THAT ARE DYING AT THE
HANDS OF AN ABUSIVE PARENT WHO
IS OUT. OF DEBT FORGIVEN FOR
REVENGE I'LL TO COSTING WHICH
DISTRESS AND HARM THE VICTIM AND
THEIR CHILDREN WERE SIMPLY
ASKING FOR ANY MEDIUM PROTECTION
UNTIL HEARINGS CONDUCTED. FIFTY
DAYS. NOW IF I MAY I WOULD LIKE
TO INTRODUCE MIGHT WITNESSES
THEN HAVE ACCORDING TO PROFESSOR
AND DOCTORATE OF SOCIOLOGY AND
CRIMINOLOGY. A RESEARCHER ON
HOMICIDE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
ARE WITH ME ALSO WE HAVE CAM
ROBINSON FAMILY LAW SPECIALIST
IN THE CITY OF OAKLAND THANK YOU
. THANK YOU SENATOR RUBIO-
DOCTOR LYNN HOFF CORTESE IN IF
YOU'RE AVAILABLE. I AM HERE YOU
HEAR ME OK YES YOU PLEASURES.
OKAY GOOD GO AHEAD. OKAY AS THE
DRUG WILL BE OKAY AND DOES NOT
RESIGN AND A FULL PROFESSOR AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL
FLORIDA I STUDIED VIOLENCE FOR
OVER THIRTY YEARS AND I'VE
FOUGHT FIRST FORCES UNDER THAT
METHOD BY OLYMPIC KANSAS STATE
UNIVERSITY AND DESIGNED THE
COURSES THAT COMPRISE GRADUATE
LEVEL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TRACK AT
THE. INSTANCE THE ALLERGY IT
USED YEAH. HERE'S WHAT WE KNOW
PLAN OFFENDERS AND VIOLENT
COMMIT. FOR SOME REASON SOME
PEOPLE VIEW VIOLENCE AS A WAY TO
DEAL WITH THEIR PROBLEMS NOT
REALISTIC. THEY DO THE WORLD
BRIEFLY STATED. HEY YOU'RE HIS
THE PREDICTOR OF FUTURE BEHAVIOR
. WE KNOW THAT- IT IS ESPECIALLY
DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN I HAVE
VISIT TO PROVIDE YOUR NOT. AND
THE VIOLENT PERSONS VIOLENCE IS
IT ESCALATING. THANK YOU
THOUSAND EIGHT OVER EIGHT
HUNDRED CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
KILLED DURING THEIR PARENTS
DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS AND OVER A
HUNDRED OF THESE COULD HAVE BEEN
AVOIDED. OVER 70% OF TILE
HOMICIDE BY. A RELATED TO
SEPARATION OR DIVORCE ARE
COMMITTED BY THE FATHER. MOST
CHILD HOMICIDES ARE NOT A
SURPRISE THE CHILDREN AT EITHER
BEEN DIRECTLY THREATENED OR THE
PROTECTIVE CARE ACT CAREGIVER OR
PARENT KNOWS THAT THEIR LIVES
HAVE BEEN THREATENED. IT'S A
MISCONCEPTION TO THINK THAT
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS ONLY AMONG
THE WELL AS- THE ADULT IN THE
FAMILY. A HISTORY OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE THIS EXTREMELY RELEVANT
THE DECISIONS RELATED TO TRIAL
IS THE FACE AND I THOUGHT THEY-
MOST CHILDREN WHO WERE KILLED BY
A PARENT ARMORED MURDER DURING
UNSUPERVISED VISITS FROM THE
VIOLENT ABUSIVE PARENTS HOWEVER
AS WE'VE RECENTLY WITNESSED
HAVING SOMEONE OVERSEE THE
VISITATION DOES NOT ALWAYS MEAN
THAT THE CHILDREN ARE. EIGHT
CHILDREN WILL TELL PROFESSIONAL
INTERVIEWERS THAT OUT FOR
VIOLENT IN THEIR HOME. AND BASED
ON THAT KNOWLEDGE WITHIN THE GAS
SHARING CLIPS FROM VIDEOS THAT
CHILDREN WOULD SHARE WITH THE
FORT. WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
WITH SENATE BILL BOTH SIXTY FIVE
INTERVENE ON THEIR BEHALF. ON
THE BEHALF OF CHILD SAFETY. THAT
IS BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
JUSTICE AND PROFESSIONAL
SPECIALIZED IN THE STUDY OF

NEED FOR LAWS TO PROTECT
CHILDREN WITH THEM IN SUPPORT
ONE. HUNDRED STATE. IS AT LOGIC

CARE ON BERGEN COMMITTEE MEMBERS
UNDER EXISTING LAW- RIGHT NOW IN
CALIFORNIA THAT IS BASICALLY
HAVE THREE OPTIONS WHEN THEY ARE
PRESENTED. WITH AN EMERGENCY
PUBLIC NEED TO CHANGE THE CAPS
IN VISITATION SCHEDULE IN CASES
WHERE THERE IS A RESTRAINT
PERSON NEEDS THIS BEING A
PROTECTIVE ORDER. OPTION ONE IS
THAT THEY COULD SUSPEND. THE
PERPETRATORS IS THIS- OPTION
NUMBER TWO IS THAT THEY COULD.
BORDER PROFESSIONALLY SUPERVISED
VISITS THAT YOU BOTH OF THESE
OPTIONS WOULD BE PENDING A
NOTICED HEARING- WITHIN FIFTEEN
DAYS. OR ACTUALLY AT TWENTY ONE
DAYS IS EXISTING LAW. WHAT THE
THIRD OPTION ONE THAT'S EXERCISE
OR TOO MUCH IS TO DO NOTHING AND
LEAVE THE- IN PERSON CONTACT
ORDERS IN PLAY. AND THAT IS THE
FIRST PART OF EXISTING LAW IS
TOO MANY JUDGES ARE JUST LETTING
THE VISITS HAPPEN EVEN WITH
PRESENTED WITH AN EMERGENCY
MOTION WHETHER HIS AND- VERY
DISTURBING ON TOP CONNDOT- ALL
BEING. SOLD AS WORST CASE IN
SACRAMENTO- FOR SOMEONE TO STAND
WEAPONS AND MADE THREATS SB
TWELVE SIXTY FIVE WOULD CLOSE
THE PTION THREE FOUR AND WOOD-
HOPEFULLY REQUIRE THAT WHAT WHEN
PRESENTED WITH AN EMERGENCY
APPLICATION ABOUT NEW THREATS
NEW CONDUCT. WOULD EITHER
SUSPENDED VISITS OR THAT- VISITS
DEEPER ESPECIALLY SUPERVISED
UNTIL THEY DO HOLD HEARINGS. AND

IN Q. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT BRING

QUESTIONS BY THE COMMITTEE.
SERVER ALSO- JUST- ONE.
REGARDLESS OF MY QUESTIONS JUST
THANK THE AUTHOR BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT YOUR INTENTION HERE IS TO-
PROTECT THE CHILDREN AND THE
FAMILIES THOSE WHO COULD B IN
DANGER- WE ALSO KNOW THAT- IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN
GOING THROUGH THAT KIND OF
TRAUMA TO ALSO STAY IN TOUCH
WITH THEIR PARENTS FOR A
DIFFICULT ENOUGH OF WHAT THEY'RE
GOING. SO ONE QUESTION I HAD IS
ABOUT THE FIFTEEN DAY HEARING OR
NOT I MAY HAVE. NOT- READ ANY
KIND OF AMENDMENT RIGHT BUT- THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL AS I UNDERSTAND
IT- AGREES THAT- A FIFTEEN THE
CURRENT CASELOAD IN THE COURTS-
DOES NOT IS UNREALISTIC TO ALLOW
A HEARING WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS-
SO I'M WONDERING IF YOU COULD
ADDRESS THAT. THANK YOU I KNOW
HOW IT'S A CONCERN THAT UP I
FEELS LIKE THE COURT IS
OVERWHELMED BUT- YOU KNOW RIGHT
NOW WE ARE WORKING ON A SEPARATE
BILL TO OBJECT TO PROVIDE
FUNDING TO FOR NOT ONLY JUDGES
BUT COURTS TO EXPEDITE THESE
KIND OF BILLS AND DIE. AND
CONTINUE TO PRESS TO MAKE SURE
THAT IT'S POSSIBLE AND I KNOW
THAT. YOU KNOW IT. THE CHILDREN
END UP PAYING THE PRICE FOR
THAT. FOR THE DEFICIENCIES IN
OUR COURT SYSTEM SO YOU KNOW I
JUST ASK THAT YOU CONSIDER THE
FACT THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT CHILDREN'S LIVES BUT I
WILL. DEFINITELY CONTINUE TO
PRESS ON THE ISSUE I DO WANT
THESE COURT CASES TO BE HEARD WE
NEED HIM TO BE EXPEDITED AND- IN
ALL THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN
ARE AT STAKE BY PRESSING FOR
FUNDING ON THAT. REGARD YEAH THE
NIGHT I MENTION THAT BECAUSE- IN
MY BUDGET SUB FIVE THAT WE GO
THROUGH THE- BUDGET FOR THE
COURT SYSTEM. THERE IS. A
PRESSURE I JUST WANT. THAT IF WE
GO DOWN THE LINE OF- EXPECTING
THAT WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS IS
GOING TO BE A HEARING. OF THAT
WE REALLY. THAT'S AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF MAKING THIS. CHANGE-
VALID AND JUSTIFIABLE NO
ABSOLUTELY I MEAN WE WANTED TO
BE A EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT SO
BOB YOU KNOW I WILL CONTINUE TO
EXPLORE THAT YOUR QUESTION RIGHT
NOW BUT YOU'RE RIGHT- YOU KNOW
THERE IS- DEFICIENCIES CURRENTLY
IN THE SYSTEM AND SO I WILL
CONTINUE TO OP POSSIBLY SIT DOWN
WITH YOU AND SEE TO MAKE SURE
HOW DO WE MAKE THIS- I READ
BLOODY BITE. AGAIN I KNOW THAT
WE CANNOT JUST LEAVE OUR
CHILDREN OUT TO DRIVE WHEN THE
DANGEROUS SO PRESENT AND- AND I
WILL LIKE I SAID CONTINUE TO
PUSH AND SIT DOWN WITH WHOEVER I
NEED TO SIT DOWN TO IT TO. MAKE
THIS YOU KNOW HAPPEN TO MAKE
SURE THAT THESE COURT HEARINGS
ARE HEARD WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS.
ALL RIGHT OTHER QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS THAT ARE CABALLERO.
WELL I WANNA- THANK YOU FOR ALL
THREE NISPEL IF I'M NOT A CO
AUTHOR I'D LIKE TO BE ADDED- ONE
OF THE I'M SENSITIVE TO THE
ISSUE THAT WAS RAISED BY A
CENTER GARAGE SO AND I AGREE
WITH YOU CENTER RUBIO- IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET. THE
ISSUE IN FRONT OF A JUDGE AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND IN THE
EVENT THAT THE FIFTEEN DAYS IS
NOT POSSIBLE THEN- TO. ISSUE A
TEMPORARY ORDER THAT THERE BE NO
VISITATION AND TELL THAT COURT
CAN HOLD A HEARING I THINK WOULD
BE TOTALLY APPROPRIATE BECAUSE-
THE CHILDREN THAT ARE GETTING
INJURED AWFUL MURDER R. THIS
CONTROL. TROLL OVER THE FAMILY
AND OVER THAT THE CPOPS AND SO
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT- IF
THERE IS THAT. FEAR BASED ON
IDENTIFIABLE. AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PROTECT THAT FAMILY AND THOSE
CHILDREN UNTIL THE COURT CAN
ACTUALLY HAVE A HEARING ON IT
SO- I THINK THAT- I THINK
FIFTEEN DAYS IS REASONABLE AND
IF IT CAN'T HAPPEN BECAUSE OF
THE COURT SCHEDULE THEN I THINK
THEY A TEMPORARY ORDER SHOULD BE
APPROPRIATE AND YOU MIGHT THINK
OF ADDING AT THAT KIND OF A BUT
I'VE EVER RELEASED IT PROVIDES
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COURT TO
MAKE A FINDING THAT THEY JUST
CAN'T DO IT WITH AND THAT.
INTEREST A SET. THAT'S IS REALLY
THE ISSUE THAT YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT SOME- THANK YOU. AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME I WILL MOVE
ABOUT. ALL RIGHT OTHER QUESTIONS
COMMENTS SEEING NONE OF CENTER
RUBIO A FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU
FOR BEING A CHAMPION WITH
RESPECT TO THE VICTIMS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE BOTH SPOUSES
OR PARTNERS AS WELL AS THE
CHILDREN NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TW
THANKYOU FOR WORKING SO HARD ON
THIS BILL AND I KNOW THAT YOU
WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS BILL- IS
BOTH EFFECTIVE AS WELL AS PASSES
CONSTITUTIONAL MUSTER. THERE IS
AN ISSUE THERE'S A
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT FOR A
PARENT TO HAVE VISITATION AND-
YOU'VE DIRECTED AND ASKED US TO
HELP. BASICALLY STRUCTURE A BILL
THAT WOULD PASS CONSTITUTIONAL
MUSTER THINK WE WILL ON A NIGHT
I KNOW YOU AGREED TO CERTAIN
AMENDMENTS. AS TWO OF THOSE
AMENDMENTS ALL ALL MENTION THOSE
THE SECOND AND THE FOLLOWING TO
CENTER THERE ALSO INCIDENT
CARILLO. IF THE COURTS CAN'T
ACCOMMODATE A HEARING IF THEY
CAN'T ACCOMMODATE THAT
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT IN ORDER TO
PROTECT CHILDREN. THEN WE NEED
TO PROVIDE THE RESOURCES TO THE
COURT IT CANNOT BE THEY WERE
GONNA LEAVE CHILDREN IN
JEOPARDY. BECAUSE THEY DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO THE COURTS SO
THAT'S OUR- OF MUTUAL OBLIGATION
TO DO THAT. LASTLY AND- I
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS THIS IS A
BIT TECHNICAL BUT THAT- THE
AMENDMENTS IN THE ANALYSIS
REFERRED TO MODIFYING A
PROTECTIVE ORDER. BUT AS WE MOVE
FORWARD YOU'RE GOING TO AMEND-
THIS TO REFER TO REQUEST FOR AN
ORDER TO MODIFY. YOUR VISITATION
ORDER AS OPPOSED PROTECT ORDER.
THAT'S RIGHT THAT'S CORRECT IN
ORDER TO GET THEM. OKAY AND THEN
ALSO OF THE MEMBERS REQUIRE
PERSON SEEKING THE ORDER THE
STATE THAT THEY FEAR THE
RESTRAINT PERSONAL HARM
CHILDREN. HEADQUARTERED
VISITATION OR CUSTODY. FOR IN
THAT THE RESTRAINT PERSON
THREATEN HARM OR KILL THE
CHILDREN THAT THAT'S CORRECT AS
WELL THAT'S CORRECT OKAY IN AND
THEN LASTLY THE MET. REQUIRE THE
PERSON SEEKING ORDER OUT TO.
YOUR MOBILE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR
OR WHATEVER OR SYSTEM FORTY A BI
. NEXTPART YEAH. DO SO. THEY CAN
EITHER. BACK OUR THANK YOU THANK
YOU FOR THAT- LEAVE IT BEEN A

MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ON
STAFF. AND THEY'RE CONTRACTED
THERAPISTS ARE BOOKED SOLID

MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS DIANA
DOUGLAS ON BEHALF OF HEALTH
ACCESS CALIFORNIA THE STATEWIDE
CONSUMER ADVOCACY COALITION WE
ARE PLEASED TO SPONSOR SB EIGHT
FIFTY EIGHT WHICH WILL ENSURE
HEALTH PLANS ARE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE STRONG
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS.
CALIFORNIANS RELY UPON THESE
PROTECTIONS INCLUDE ACCESS TO
BASIC HEALTH CARE SERVICES
TIMELY ACCESS TO CARE LANGUAGE
ACCESS INDEPENDENT MEDICAL
REVIEW AND PROCESSES FOR PLACING
GRIEVANCES. DAMAGE THESE
PROTECTIONS RYAN A STRONG
FRAMEWORK OF BOTH CIVIL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES
CORRECTION AND CORRECTION ACTION
EXCUSE ME CORRECTIVE ACTION
PLANS TO HOLD PLANS ACCOUNTABLE
HOWEVER WATER STANDARDS HAVE
BEEN UPDATED MANY TIMES OVER THE
YEARS THE PENALTY TO RARELY IF
EVER BEEN UPDATED. THE BASICS OF
A CIVIL FINE MAXIMUM OF TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED HAS NOT BEEN
UPDATED SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY
FIVE MANY ADMINISTRATIVE
PENALTIES WHICH REPRESENT THE
VAST MAJORITY MAJORITY OF
PENALTIES IMPOSED HAVE REMAINED
FIXED FOR DECADES HEALTH PLANS
HAVE BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO TREATING
FINDS IS JUST ANOTHER COST. WHAT
IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE TO PAY
VIOLATIONS WHEN THEY GET CAUGHT
RATHER THAN TO IMPROVE SERVICE
CONSUMERS PAY THE PRICE WITH
DELAYED CARE DENIED SERVICES AND
GRIEVANCES GONE UNRESOLVED. SB A
FIFTY IT WILL UPDATE
ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES BY
MULTIPLYING THE KERN AMOUNTS BY
FOR. MOST MHC PENALTIES ARE
ADMINISTRATIVE IN THESE AMOUNTS
TO REMAIN THE SAME FOR DECADES
CIVIL PENALTIES WHICH HAVE BEEN
CAPPED AT TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED
DOLLARS FOR ALMOST FIFTY YEARS.
WOULD BE INCREASED TO A MINIMUM
OF TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND. THIS
REPRESENTS INCREASES IN
INFLATION AND ALSO IN HEALTH
CARE PREMIUMS AND COSTS. AND
FINALLY SB EIGHT FIFTY IT WILL
ALSO ENSURE THAT HEALTHCARE
PREMIUMS IN OUT OF POCKET COSTS
INCREASED PENALTIES WILL
INCREASE COMMENSURATELY. WE
THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
WORK ON AMENDMENTS TO CLARIFY
THAT THE FOUR TIMES MULTIPLIER
WILL ONLY APPLY TO PENALTIES
WITH A SPECIFIC AMOUNT. AND
KEEPS THE MINIMUM FOR CIVIL
PENALTIES AT TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND AND COMMIT TO TAKING
THE AMENDMENTS RELATED TO HOW.
PENALTY INCREASES WOULD BE TIED
TO INCREASES IN HEALTH PLAN
COSTS IN APPROPRIATIONS AND
APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK HERE.
WE'RE PROUD TO SPONSOR THIS BILL
SB FIFTY EIGHT RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR IPHONE THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION THANK YOU
MISTER DOUGLAS ALL RIGHT. OF
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF SB EIGHT
FIFTY EIGHT TO COME FORWARD
IDENTIFY YOURSELF. THE CHAIR
MEMBERS JANICE- ALLEY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION IN
SUPPORT THANK YOU. OTHERS HERE
IN THE HEARING ROOM TWENTY TWO
HUNDRED SINGH KNOWN APPROACHING

EVENING LINDA WAY WITH WESTERN
PHENOMENON POVERTY IN SUPPORT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL RIGHT.
NOW BACK TO THOSE ON THE PHONE.
THANK YOU AND IT'S ONE ZERO. I
WANTED TO HEAR ABOUT A LINE OR

PRETTY GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
GOOD EVENING THOUGH I THOUGHT OF
ALL THE CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL
ASSISTANCE FOUNDATION IN SUPPORT
OF SB EIGHT FIFTY TWO THANK YOU
VERY MUCH EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT FIVE
EIGHT THANK YOU. I THINK THAT.
AND THEN IN Q. AT THIS TIME NO
WAS IN Q. ARE AT LET'S GO
OPPOSITION I HAVE NICK OF THE WE
CELLS IN IN OPPOSITION THANK YOU
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
NICKEL RESOURCE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH
PLANS- IN OPPOSITION TO EIGHT
FIVE EIGHT. WHICH RAISES HEALTH
CARE COSTS BY CREATING A
PUNITIVE IN COMPLICATED NEW
PENALTY STRUCTURE ON HEALTH
PLANS MASSIVELY INCREASING
PENALTIES ON HEALTH PLANS DOES
NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS AND DOES NOT
IMPROVE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
WHAT IT DOES IT DIRECTS
RESOURCES AWAY FROM DIRECT
PATIENT CARE AND UNDERMINES IT
NATURE OF REGULATORY
ENFORCEMENT- WE DISAGREE WITH
THE PREMISE OF THIS BILL WHICH
IS BASED ON THE LOGIC THAT
MAKING PENALTIES MORE MORE
PUNITIVE WORSE WILL SOMEHOW
IMPROVE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
NOW YOU KNOW- REFERENCING THE I.
TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT TODAY YOU
KNOW LOOK WE'RE ALL MADE OUT OF
THE SAME STUFF WE'VE HAD FAMILY
MEMBERS THAT HAVE INTERACTED
WITH THE SYSTEM AND SOMETIMES IT
WORKS OUT SOMETIMES IT'S NOT
GREAT YOU KNOW SPEAKING DIRECTLY
TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES WE
ARGUED LAST YEAR WITHIN THE
CONTEXT OF SENATOR WIENER'S SB
TWO TWENTY ONE THAT IT IS A
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT ISSUE- AND
THERE ARE LACK OF PROVIDERS IN
THIS AREA PARTICULARLY ONES.
THAT ARE WILLING TO CONTRACT
WITH PLANS SO THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT WE NEED TO WORK ON AND I
THINK SENATOR WIENER HAS ONE
THAT- THIS YEAR BUT- YOU KNOW I
WILL SAY CALIFORNIA'S HEALTH
PLANS ARE HEAVILY REGULATED
CURRENTLY UNDER THE KNOX KEEN
ACT- THERE ARE THERE IS A
PENALTY STRUCTURE THAT INCLUDES
BOTH ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES
AND CIVIL PENALTIES. ON THE
GRANTS THE DIRECTOR OF GMAC THE
DEPARTMENT MATTERS HEALTH CARE
WHY TO FORTY TO LEVY PENALTIES
ON HEALTH PLANS- AND EVEN REVOKE
LICENSES OF PLANS- THAT ARE IN
VIOLATION OF THE ACT. WE BELIEVE
THAT THE CURRENT LAW ALREADY
GRANTS SUFFICIENT FORSMAN
AUTHORITY TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
MANAGED HEALTH CARE WHICH HAS
ALLOWED ITSELF PRETTY
CONSIDERABLE LATITUDE I'M IN
ASSESSING PENALTIES AND AS
RECENTLY DEMONSTRATED ITS
SIGNIFICANT BIRDS- IN
ADDITION TO PENALTIES THE TEAM
YOU SEE ALSO ISSUES CORRECTIVE
ACTION PLANS WHICH REQUIRE
HEALTH PLANS TO REMEDY PROBLEMS
ARE FACE EVEN FURTHER SANCTIONS
. WHAT IS SB EIGHT FIFTY EIGHT
DO. SO I THINK SOMETIMES BILLS
CHARACTERIZE MERELY UPDATING ON
THE AMOUNTS THAT WERE
ESTABLISHED IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES. AND YOU KNOW IF THAT
WAS THE CONVERSATION I THINK
THAT WOULD BE ONE THING WHAT
THIS BILL DOES THOUGH. IT
DELETES THE LIMITATIONS SO
THERE'S NO LIMITATION ON CIVIL
PENALTIES- IT IN THE LAW IT
ANYMORE IF THIS BILL WOULD SPEAK
WERE TO BE ENACTED. SO IT
DELETES THE CEILING. AND
REPLACES IT WITH A FLOOR THAT IS
TEN TIMES THE AMOUNT OF THE
CEILING- AND YOU KNOW WE BELIEVE
THAT. IT IS PRETTY EXCESSIVE-
FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE- SO IF YOU
KNOW REPRESENTS A WHOPPING
INCREASE IN SINGLE CIVIL
PENALTIES BY A FACTOR OF TEN
MISTER LOUISE ALSO YEAH. GO
AHEAD AND WRAP IT UP YEAH GREAT.
WE THINK THE GOAL OF REGULATORY
ENFORCEMENT IS TO- YOU MAKE
THINGS BETTER- YOU KNOW. YOU
KNOW WHEN THERE ARE PROBLEMS. WE
THINK A- BILL LIKE THIS WOULD
ACTUALLY PAY OUR MEMBERS AGAINST
THE DEPARTMENT AND CREATE A
MORE. KIND OF NEGATIVE.
ATMOSPHERE AND TRY TO RESOLVE
THINGS ALREADY THANK YOU THANK
YOU. OTHERS IN OPPOSITION. TO S.
B. EIGHT FIVE EIGHT. SINGH
