SENATE BILL 12 73 BY SENATOR
BRADFORD AND ACT RELATING TO
SCHOOL SAFETY SENATOR BRADFORD
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT 12 73 IS BACK
FOR RECONSIDERATION IN RESPONSE
TO THE CONCERNS THAT WERE
RAISED. BY MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
FLOOR DEBATE EARLIER THIS WEEK,
I'M COMMITTING TO AMEND THE BILL
TO REMOVE THE DISCRETION FOR
NOTIFYING LAW ENFORCEMENT IF A
STUDENT BRINGS THE FOLLOWING A
BB OR PELLET GUN, A SPOT MARKER
GUN, A BOX CUTTER, A RAZOR BLADE
TO SCHOOL, THIS SECTION WILL NOT
BE TOUCHED. OR REMAIN AS
EXISTING LAW REQUIRE
NOTIFICATION LAW ENFORCEMENT
ANYTIME A STUDENT BRINGS SUCH
ITEMS ARE OTHER WEAPONS TO
SCHOOL. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? SENATOR BURGES. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT. I APPLAUD THE
AUTHOR FOR MAKING AMENDMENTS. UM
ESPECIALLY AFTER WE HEARD THE
EXPERIENCE OF ONE OF OUR
COLLEAGUES. I THINK ANY CARVE
OUT THE PROTECTIONS IN THESE
AREAS. CAN BE HELPFUL, BUT IT
DOESN'T OBVIATE THE DEFICIENCY
OF THE EXISTING BILL. THAT WHEN
SOMEONE. I THREATENS TO ATTACK A
MEMBER. OF THE FACULTY. THAT IT
IS LEFT TO THE TEACHERS AND THE
ADMINISTRATORS TO DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT THAT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED A LAW ENFORCEMENT
RELATED MATTER. WE I THINK WE
WERE ONLY SOLVING ABOUT 15% OF
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN A BILL
LIKE THIS. I APPLAUD THE
DEVELOPMENT CLEARLY IN RESPONSE
TO THE FACT THAT IT DIDN'T PASS.
AND IS THAT FOR RECONSIDERATION
TODAY, BUT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE
AND COLLEAGUES. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK THAT LET LAW ENFORCEMENT
SERVE IN A LAW ENFORCEMENT
CAPACITY AND LET TEACHERS SERVED
IN A TEACHING CAPACITY. THAT IS
THE WAY OUR SYSTEM WORKS TO DO
OTHERWISE, I THINK IT'S JUST
GOING TO INVITE A LOT MORE
CONFUSION AND A LOT MORE
HEARTACHE. SENATOR MELENDEZ.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WHILE I
CERTAINLY THEY FIXED MY
MICROPHONE. WHILE I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE THAT THE AUTHOR HAS
MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS COMMITS TO
MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
BILL. THAT DOESN'T CHANGE THE
FACT THAT MAKING THREATS AGAINST
THOSE AT A SCHOOL IS THE PRIMARY
CONCERN WITH THIS BILL, AND THAT
LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD NOT BE
NOTIFIED. WE HAD A MOMENT OF
SILENCE YESTERDAY FOR THE
CHILDREN WHO WERE KILLED IN
TEXAS. WE KNOW THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL WHO COMMITTED THOSE
MURDERS HAD MADE PREVIOUS
THREATS TOWARDS THE SCHOOL. NOT
ONCE. BUT MORE THAN ONCE. SO
AGAIN, I WOULD ASK YOU TO
CONSIDER THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE
SERIOUSLY. WHEN SOMEONE MAKES A
THREAT OF VIOLENCE AGAINST
TEACHERS OR STUDENTS. YOU HAVE
TO TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY.
SOMETIMES. THERE. SAYING
SOMETHING OUT OF ANGER AND
SOMETIMES UNFORTUNATELY, THEY
ARE NOT. I WOULD URGE, YOU KNOW,
VOTE. SENATOR ALLEN. I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR TAKING HIS
THE AMENDMENTS RELATING TO
WEAPONS. I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL
SO THIS IS A HARDER BILL TO VOTE
FOR AFTER WHAT'S HAPPENED THE
LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. UM I'M
STILL WILLING TO GIVE THE AUTHOR
THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT TO WORK ON
THIS. I DO WANT TO KIND OF ONCE
AGAIN REITERATES THE CONCERN
ABOUT RETALIATION AGAINST
EMPLOYEES, INCLUDING TEACHERS
AND STAFF AT SCHOOLS WHO MIGHT
REPORT I UNDERSTAND THAT THE
ISSUE, UH, WAS AN ADVERT. WELL,
I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY TOOK OUT
THERE'S A THERE'S A DRAFTING
ISSUE INVOLVING CERTAIN SECTION
OF CODE AS IT RELATES TO
RETALIATION, BUT IT HAS TO GET
ADDRESSED BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT
TO HAVE A SITUATION WHERE A
TEACHER OF STAFF ARE WITNESSES
SOMETHING THEY MAKE A REPORT AND
THERE'S SOME SORT OF RETALIATION
AGAINST THEM. SO I HOPE WE WORK
WITH UH, WITH THE AUTHOR AND
ALSO SOME OF THE FOLKS WHO
REPRESENT TEACHERS AND STAFF AND
THERE ARE SCHOOLS TO GET THAT
ISSUE ADDRESSED. SO I'M I'M I'M
WILLING TO GO UP ON THIS. I WILL
SAY, UM I JUST WANTED TO. WELL I
DON'T KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE IF
HE HADN'T BEEN WILLING TO DROP
THE WEAPONS. UM AH, AND OF
COURSE, AS WE ALL HAVE DISCUSSED
THE OTHER DAY, UM YOU KNOW THE
ADMINISTRATORS RETAIN
FLEXIBILITY THEY CAN REPORT IF
THEY FIND IF THEY WANT TO, AND I
THINK THAT'S A THAT'S IMPORTANT.
REMEMBER? SENATOR RUBIO. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS
OF THE SENATE. THIS BILL IS A
BILL THAT I REALLY WANTED TO BE
ON, AND I WORKED. I WOULD SAY
APPROXIMATELY THREE HOURS ON
THIS TRYING TO SEE IF WE CAN GET
TO A YES, BUT YOU KNOW, I SINCE
THE SHOOTING. I HAVE REACHED OUT
TO A LOT OF MY TEACHER FRIENDS
WHO ARE NOT HAPPY WITH THIS
BILL. AND ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND
BE IN THE CLASSROOM 17 YEARS.
YOU KNOW WHAT OUR CHILDREN
EXPERIENCE AND SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES WE HAVE IN SCHOOL. I
DO BELIEVE SOMETIMES WE TARGET
SOME KIDS THAT ARE JUST HAVING
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL ISSUES AND
OTHER ASPECTS IN THEIR LIVES
THAT MAY BE CAUSED HIM TO LASH
OUT. BUT IN THIS MOMENT, I JUST
FEEL WITH THE TRAGEDY AND BASED
ON SOME OF THE COMMENTS OF MY
TEACHER COLLEAGUES. I GOING TO
HAVE TO LAY OFF. THANK YOU.
SENATOR NIELSEN. MADAM PRESIDENT
, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SENATE.
I DEBATED THIS. THE OTHER DAY
AND I'M DEBATING IT YET AGAIN. I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHORS
AMENDMENT. BUT THE AUTHOR IS AND
WHOEVER IS THE ADVOCATE OF THIS
ADVOCATES PLURAL. IT'S A PART OF
THE MAKE LIFE MORE MISERABLE.
FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND NOW FOR
TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS.
WERE CHARGING THEM. WITH
PERFORMING DUTIES THEY ARE NOT
TRAINED TO DO. SOME OF THEM WILL
STEP UP AS SOME GOOD JUST THE
OTHER DAY. GOD LOVE HIM FOR IT,
BUT THEY'RE NOT TRAINED FOR THAT
PURPOSE. I CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT
THIS IS JUST TO PUT MORE
HANDCUFFS. ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.
AND WE SHOULD NOT COUNTENANCE
THAT BEHAVIOR. AND LIMIT THEM IN
THE CONDUCT OF THEIR DUTIES.
THEY'RE SWORN OFFICERS AND THEY
ARE TRAINED. MAYBE THERE'S SOME
BAD EGGS, BUT THEY'RE NOT THAT
MANY. AND SCHOOL SITES. AND
TEACHERS. ADMINISTRATIVE
CUSTODIANS. ARE NOT TRAINED TO
DO THIS URGENT NOVA FOR ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SENATOR COURTESY. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT. I'VE DECIDED TO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
INTO, UM MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR ON
THE RECORD. I THINK IT IS TO
MOST OF US THAT THIS IS A
DISCRETIONARY BILL.
DISCRETIONARY RULE THAT WOULD
ALLOW SUPERINTENDENTS TO MAKE
THE DECISION ONE WAY OR THE
OTHER AS TO WHETHER OR NOT TO
REPORT CERTAIN INCIDENTS TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT'S NOTHING IN THE
BILL. UH BASED ON MY READING
TAKES AWAY ANY OF THE DISCRETION
OF A OF A SCHOOL PRINCIPAL OR
ADMINISTRATOR TO DO WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO BASED ON THEIR OWN.
LOCAL DISCRETION ON THE GROUND,
NOT IN SACRAMENTO, BUT IN THEIR
OWN DISTRICTS ON THEIR OWN
SCHOOL SITES WHERE THEY SEE
EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
EVERY SITUATION. I SERVED FOR
EIGHT YEARS ON THE SCHOOL BOARD
EAST SIDE UNION HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT, THE LARGEST HIGH
SCHOOL DISTRICT. IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. I BELIEVE I'VE SEEN
JUST ABOUT EVERY POSSIBLE UM
EXPORT TYPE OF EXPULSION,
HEARING OR SUSPENSION. THE WORST
SITUATIONS WERE ALWAYS WHERE WE
LACK DISCRETION. IN LOST. SITE
OR SUPERVISION, WRAPAROUND
SERVICES. WE LOST OPPORTUNITIES
TO USE THE ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLS
IN THE CONTINUATION SCHOOLS,
WHICH WE HAD WHICH WERE WORLD
CLASS. TO REASSIGN STUDENTS WITH
CERTAIN LOW LEVEL. MM CONCERNS
AND ISSUES. TO THOSE SITUATIONS
AND INSTEAD FOUND THEM RIGHT
ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR HIGH
SCHOOLS RE ASSOCIATING
THEMSELVES WITH GANG ACTIVITY,
RE ASSOCIATING THEMSELVES WITH
THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT. JUST
OUTSIDE OF OUR SUPERVISION JUST
OUTSIDE OF OUR OPPORTUNITY TO
DIVERT THEM AND TO ATTEMPT TO
GET THEM INTO THE KIND OF WRAP
AROUND SERVICES THEY NEED. LET
ME JUST SAY IN THAT DISTRICT AT
THAT TIME, WHERE APPROXIMATELY
ONE THIRD OF THE STUDENT
POPULATION, UH WAS LATIN X ABOUT
80% OF THE SUSPENSIONS AND
EXPULSIONS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
REFERRALS WORK TO THE LATIN X
POPULATION. I THINK THAT'S ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT BILL IS
TRYING TO DRIVE HOME. AND FOR
THAT REASON I URGE AND I VOTE.
SENATOR MELENDEZ. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. THE FACT THAT BB
GUNS AND PELLET GUNS WERE TAKEN
OUT OF THE BILL. GREAT. THE KIDS
WHO WERE SHOT IN TEXAS WEREN'T
KILLED BY A BB GUN. THEY WERE
KILLED, VERY LIKELY BY THE VERY
SAME WEAPONS THAT THE SHOOTER
POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA. PRIOR TO
THE ATTACK. I AM SAYING IS. WE
DISCUSSED THIS ALREADY WHERE WE
ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SOMETIMES.
THIS. SOME DISCRETION MAY BE IN
ORDER. BUT NONE IN THE CASE.
WHEN YOU'RE MAKING THREATS OF
VIOLENCE AGAINST THE SCHOOL,
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT KIDS WHO
ARE JUST BEING UNRULY IN CLASS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAKING
THREATS. TO THE LIVES. OF THE
PEOPLE AT THAT SCHOOL. THAT'S
THE MOST EGREGIOUS PART OF THIS
BILL. AGAIN. I WOULD ASK YOU TO
THINK ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN. YOUR
GRANDCHILDREN AND THOSE OF YOUR
CONSTITUENTS. AND VOTE NOW. FOR
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. SENATOR EDMUND. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS
. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL. AND I WILL SAY IT IS MUCH
I HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY
PROFOUNDLY IMPACTED BY THE
SHOOTING IN TEXAS. THIS THIS,
UH, THIS WEEK I SPENT WAY TOO
MUCH TIME DOWN A RABBIT HOLE
LAST NIGHT. UM, CRYING READING.
AND THINKING ABOUT THAT. THOSE
CHILDREN IN THAT CLASSROOM AT
THAT MOMENT AND UH, AND THOSE
AND THE YOUNG MAN WHO WHO
PERPETRATED IT. HORRIBLE,
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. HORRIBLE
TRAGEDY THAT HAD THAT AN 18 YEAR
OLD YOUNG MAN WHO HAD SHOWN
SYMPTOMS OF TROUBLE WAS ALLOWED
TO BUY TWO ASSAULT WEAPONS. WHAT
WE KNOW HIS BRAIN IS NOT EVEN
FULLY DEVELOPED YET THAT HE WAS
ABLE TO BUY TWO ASSAULT WEAPONS
RIGHT AFTER HIS 18TH BIRTHDAY. I
FIND I FIND FRIGHTENING AND
HORRIFYING. UM. BUT AS I READ
THROUGH, THERE WAS NOT A SERIES
OF RED FLAGS OR HIM MAKING
THREATS. MORE LIKELY. HE WAS
ABSENT. HE WASN'T AT SCHOOL. IT
SOUNDS LIKE HIS HOME LIFE WAS
VERY TROUBLED. AND LIKE YOU
DIDN'T HAVE A GREAT STABLE
PARENT, A PARENT WHO PERHAPS WAS
ABUSIVE AND STRUGGLED WITH DRUG
ADDICTION. HE BOUNCED AROUND A
LITTLE BIT. SOUNDS LIKE HE HAD A
TERRIBLE LISP, AND HE WAS POOR,
AND HE WAS MADE FUN OF A LOT. SO
YEAH, PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE REACHED
OUT TO HIM A LONG TIME AGO. BUT
I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING ABOUT HIM
MAKING THREATS BEFORE HE BOUGHT
THOSE WEAPONS AND SAID, I THINK
I'M GONNA WANT TO SHOOT
SOMEBODY. AND YEAH, THAT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN REPORTED. ABSOLUTELY.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY
DISCRETION ABOUT THAT. AND THIS
BILL IS ABOUT DISCRETION.
BECAUSE I CAN ALSO TELL YOU AND
I HAVE A 13 YEAR OLD. I HAVE A
CHILD IN SCHOOL. AND WE HAVE HAD
TO TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS, AND
SHE'S HAD TO TAKE PART AND
ACTIVE SHOOTING DRILLS AND I
FIND THAT HORRIFYING AND I FIND
IT A HORRIFYING THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT ARMING OUR
TEACHERS. RATHER THAN DOING
SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THE WEAPONS
THAT WE HAVE ON OUR STREETS IN
THE HANDS OF OUR CHILDREN. WHO
ARE NOT CAPABLE OF MAKING THE
KINDS OF DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT
CONSTITUTES A FORTNIGHT GAME
VERSUS AN ACTUAL AK 47. I AM
THAT CONCERNS ME GREATLY. AND I
ALSO REPRESENT AN AREA WITH A
HIGH DEGREE. BLACK AND BROWN
KIDS. STOCKTON UNIFIED AS A
MINORITY SCHOOL WE HAVE SUFFERED
FROM A HUGE AMOUNT OF WHITE
FLIGHT IN A CITY OF ABOUT
350,000. WE HAVE FIVE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BECAUSE PEOPLE
CONTINUE TO MOVE AWAY. FROM MY
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE I LIVE IN
CENTRAL STOCKTON'S AND I KNOW A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IT MADE THE
NEWS. WHEN THEY KINDERGARTNER. A
YOUNG AFRICAN AMERICAN
KINDERGARTNER. WAS ZIP TIED. BY
THE POLICE AND TAKEN AWAY IN THE
BACK OF A POLICE CAR. I DON'T
THINK LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS TO
BE INVOLVED IN EVERY SINGLE
ISSUE. MY SISTER IS A 30 YEAR
PLUS CLASSROOM EDUCATOR. I
TALKED TO HER ABOUT THIS, TOO.
AND SHE'S ALSO HORRIFIED WITH
THE ESCALATING ANGER THAT SHE
SEES IN SCHOOLS AND THE TROUBLES
THAT KIDS ARE FACING. BUT
AUTOMATICALLY NOTIFYING LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND GETTING KIDS
INTO THE SYSTEM. AS MANY MY
COLLEAGUES WHO DON'T ALWAYS
AGREE WITH ME WOULD SAY, YOU
KNOW, WE DON'T WANT GOVERNMENT
INTERFERENCE. WELL, I CAN TELL
YOU WHEN YOU INTRODUCE A YOUNG
KID WITH THE PROBLEMATIC LIFE
INTO THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. IT IS VERY
LIKELY THAT CHILD WILL STAY
INVOLVED WITH THAT SAME CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM THE REST OF THEIR
LIFE. I HAVE HUGE RESPECT FOR
OUR EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITY AND
THEIR ABILITY TO DISCERN BETWEEN
WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPORTED TO THE
POLICE. AND WHAT CAN BE HANDLED
IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF WAYS. AND
AGAIN. JOINING MY FRIEND WHO IS
A PEDIATRICIAN. AS A THERAPIST
AS A SOCIAL WORKER. THE
ADOLESCENT BRAIN IS NOT
DEVELOPED TO THE SAME LEVEL. WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE LESS
KIDS INVOLVED IN OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT SYSTEM. WE KNOW THAT
BLACK AND BROWN KIDS ARE
OVERWHELMINGLY THERE MORE OFTEN.
LET THE TEACHERS. LED TO SCHOOL
HAVE THE DISCRETION TO MAKE THE
DECISION WHAT GETS REPORTED AND
WHAT CAN BE HANDLED AND OTHER
KIND OF WAYS. I ASKED FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THERE ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE? SENATOR
STERN. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. I RISE WITH. GREAT
APPRECIATION AND RESPECT FOR THE
AUTHOR'S WORK. UM WITH A NUMBER
OF US AND THE THOUGHTFUL
ENGAGEMENT WITH THE CONVERSATION
WE HAD EARLIER THIS WEEK. I AM
THINKING ABOUT MY DAUGHTER WHEN
I'M STANDING UP IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE. UM AND I'M
THINKING OF. 12 KIDS THAT WE
LOST A BORDERLINE. AND THEIR
PARENTS. AH! TO BE ON THE EDGE
OF THIS VIOLENCE AND SEE WHAT IT
IS IN PERSON. AND THEN THEY WILL
TAKE TO EMERGE AFTERWARDS AND
TRY TO WAVE A FLAG OR MAKE MAKE
THESE SORT OF POLITICAL
DEMARCATIONS IS DEEPLY OFFENSIVE
AT AT THE VERY LEAST. THIS IS
VERY SACRED ROUND. TO BRING IN
THESE ISSUES. UM, AND TO ESPOUSE
CAUSATION. AROUND THINGS THAT
SOMETIMES CAN BE EXPLAINED. BUT
WE DO KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE
CASE OF BORDERLINE THAT THAT
YOUNG MARINE VETERAN. HAD MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES. ALL THROUGHOUT
THEIR CHILDHOOD. THAT WERE NOT
CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS. THAT WOULD
NEVER HAVE TRIGGERED ANY
DISCUSSION WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT.
BUT ARE SIMPLY KIDS GETTING LEFT
BEHIND? PUNCHING A HOLE IN THE
WALL THAT YOUR HOUSE DESPOND IN
IT'S COOL AND ISOLATED. NOT
TALKING. LET'S BE CLEAR BY THE
WAY THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE
MANDATORY NOTIFICATION OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN A CASE OF A MASS
THREAT OF VIOLENCE, WHICH IS NOT
A WILLFUL DISTURBANCE, THAT'S A
DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF
CRIME. SO LET'S BE CLEAR ABOUT
WHAT THE BILL DOESN'T ALLOW
DISCRETION ON BILL DOESN'T ALLOW
THAT KIND OF DISCRETION OR IF
YOU BRING A GUN OR FAKE GUN OR
BOX CUTTER ALL THESE OTHER
CLASSIFICATION TO SCHOOL. YOU
HAVE TO ALCOHOL ON FORCE. BUT IN
ALL THOSE OTHER CASES, ALL THOSE
OTHER SIGNALS ALL THOSE OTHER
RED FLAGS. HOW MANY? HOW MANY
PEOPLE DO WE MISS? THIS BILL IS
AN OBLIGATION TO FILL THE HOLES
IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS AND START
LEAVING YOUNG PEOPLE BEHIND WAY
EARLY ON IN THEIR LIVES. BEFORE
OTHER THINGS HAPPEN. AND RIGHT
NOW. TO JUST SAY LAW ENFORCEMENT
WILL SOLVE OUR MENTAL HEALTH
pMISUNDERSTANDS WHAT THE POINT OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT IS AND I HATE TO
EVEN TALK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
EARLIER THIS WEEK OR LAST WEEK
OR THE WEEK BEFORE OR THE WEEK
BEFORE THAT. LITERALLY USE EVERY
WEEK. BUT ENFORCEMENT IS THERE.
THEY WERE THERE IN TEXAS. THEY
WERE AT THE SCHOOL. THEY WERE AT
THAT SCHOOL. I WAS 40 MINUTES
WITH THE PRESENCE THERE. SO
LET'S BE CLEAR WHAT THEY CAN AND
CAN'T DO EVEN IN THOSE MOMENTS.
I'M. PROUD TO STAND IN SUPPORT
OF THIS BILL NOW. I THINK IT
STRIKES A VERY CLEAR BALANCE.
AND SAYS WHAT HAS TO INVOLVE LAW
ENFORCEMENT BUT WOULD ALSO WOULD
BE SUCH A MISUNDERSTANDING OF
THE POINT OF PUBLIC SAFETY. THIS
ISN'T ABOUT WHETHER YOU GET COPS
OUT OF SCHOOLS. DON'T LET ANYONE
MAKE THIS A WHOLE POLITICAL
STATEMENT. I KNOW THAT'S THE
GAME THAT GETS PLAYED HERE
SOMETIMES, BUT THIS IS SACRED
GROUND. IT'S A GOOD BILL AND I
ASKED FOR YOUR I VOTE. SEEING NO
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SENATOR BRADFORD, YOU MAY
CONCLUDE. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE SPOKEN ON
BEHALF OF THIS BILL, WHETHER IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION, BUT I
REALLY WANT TO THANK MY TWO
COLLEAGUES FROM STOCKTON'S AND
FROM SAN JOSE. AND FROM VENTURA
FOR READING THE BILL. THE SPILL
DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT. IT DOESN'T CREATE
ANY KIND OF ROLE REVERSAL FOR
TEACHER TO ACT AS A COP OR COP
TO HAVE HIS ROLE DIMINISHED IN
ANY KIND OF WAY. ALL THIS BILLS
SAYS, IS ALLOW A TEACHER THAT
DISCRETION DISCRETION THAT THEY
USE EACH AND EVERY DAY WHETHER
THIS BILL EXISTED OR NOT ON
WHETHER TO CALL THE COPS. BUT
CURRENTLY THAT DISCRETION IS
ALWAYS AIMED AS STATED TOWARD
KIDS OF COLOR AND LOWER INCOME
NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT DISCRETION
EXISTS TODAY ON WHETHER OR NOT
TO CALL THE COPS. AND WE CAN USE
EXAMPLE. AFTER EXAMPLE, WHERE
YOU SAW KIDS AND OUTRAGE WHO
CAME BACK AND KILLED SOMEBODY,
AND THE PRINCIPLES CHOSE NOT TO
CALL THE COPS, BUT WE CAN USE
THIS AS EXAMPLES OF WHAT
HAPPENED. IN TEXAS. IT'S A
HORRIBLE SITUATION, AND I AS I
GOT DRESSED THIS MORNING. I
LISTENED TO THE FIFTH GRADER.
WHO HAD HIS FACE BLOCKED,
TELLING THE STORY. OF WHAT WAS
HAPPENING AS HIS CLASSMATE WAS
ON THE PHONE, CALLING THE POLICE
CALLING 911 AND HE SAYS, DON'T
TALK. I DON'T WANT THEM TO HEAR
YOU AND SHE GOT SHOT. BUT ALSO
IT WAS STATED THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT DID RESPOND. AND
THEY STOOD OUTSIDE FOR 45
MINUTES BEFORE EVEN THINKING
ABOUT BREACHING THE SCHOOL AND
GOING IN AND SAVING KIDS DESPITE
HEARING SHOTS. DESPITE HEARING
SHOTS, BUT THE OFFICERS WHO WENT
IN EARLY THEY GOT THEIR OWN KIDS
OUT. TO SAFETY. SO. THIS IS NOT
CHANGING THE ROLE OF POLICE.
THEY'RE GOING TO DO WHAT THEY'RE
GONNA DO. TEACHERS ARE GOING TO
DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO ALL
WE'RE SEEING IF A TEACHER OR
ADMINISTRATOR OR PRINCIPAL
CHOOSES TO USE THEIR DISCRETION
AGAIN WHAT THEY'RE DOING RIGHT
NOW. ON WHETHER OR NOT TO
SYNDICATE TO THE PRINCIPAL'S
OFFICE, WHETHER O CALL ON
ENFORCEMENT. WE'RE SEEING THAT
TEACHER THAT ADMINISTRATOR WILL
NOT BE PENALIZED. IF IN FACT
THEY CHOOSE. IT HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH DEADLY THREATS. DEADLY
THREATS ARE STILL EXISTING. WE
ALL WANT THE POLICE TO BE CALLED
ON DEADLY THREATS. BUT IF YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT SPEAKING OUT IN
CLASS, NOT HAVING YOUR HOMEWORK
, ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE HAVE
SEEN THAT LEAD THE BLACK AND
BROWN KIDS BEING IT'S FAILED OR
HAVING POLICE CALLED YES, I WANT
TO GIVE TEACHERS GREATER
DISCRETION ON WHETHER OR NOT TO
CALL THE POLICE. AND ON THAT
NOTE, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I
VOTE. MADAM SECRETARY, PLEASE

PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL 11 78
BY SENATOR BRADFORD AND ACT
RELATING TO SENTENCING AND
DECLARING THE URGENCY THEREOF
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. SENATOR
BRADFORD THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT 11 78
WILL ELIMINATE THE TIME
LIMITATION AND RETROSPECTIVE
CASES IN WHICH PERSONS CONVICTED
OF QUALIFYING. QUALIFYING
FELONIES MAY FILE A PETITION TO
THE COURT TO HAVE THEIR
SENTENCES REDUCED OR RECORDS
CLASSIFIED TO A RECLASSIFIED I
SHOULD SAY TO MR MEANER IN 2014
PROP 47 RECLASSIFIED SIX LOW
LEVEL NONVIOLENT FELONIES AS
MISDEMEANORS AND AUTHORIZED
INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF
QUALIFYING FELONIES TO PETITION
THE COURT TO RE SENTENCE THEIR
PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS AS
MISDEMEANORS. PROP 47
ESTABLISHED AN INITIAL THREE
YEAR WINDOW, WHICH WAS THEN
EXTENDED TO THIS UPCOMING
NOVEMBER DURING WHICH ELIGIBLE
INDIVIDUALS COULD PETITION THE
COURT. FOR RECORDS CHANGES AFTER
THE DEADLINE OPPORTUNITY FOR
RECORDS RECLASSIFICATIONS
AVAILABLE, WHICH IS SHOWING A
GOOD CAUSE. THIS BILL SEEKS TO
ELIMINATE THAT DEADLINE FOR
SEVERAL REASONS. INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE INDIGENOUS AND AN HOUSE ARE
OFTEN PREOCCUPIED WITH ATTENDING
TO BASIC SURVIVAL NEEDS. EVEN IF
AWARE OF THE AVAILABLE RECENT
SINCE RELIEVED THEY ARE LIKELY
UNAWARE OF THE REQUIREMENTS TO
PREPARE AND TO FILE THE
PETITIONS OR THE WINDOW OF
OPPORTUNITY WILL END. THIS
VULNERABLE POPULATION OFTEN
OFTEN LOCKS. THE TECHNOLOGY TO
CONTACT THEIR PUBLIC DEFENDER'S
OFFICE AND THE COURT TO BEGIN
THE PROCESS. THE PANDEMIC HAS
ONLY EXACERBATED THIS ISSUE. 11
78 WOULD PROVIDE A PERMANENT AND
LESS RESOURCE INTENSIVE
MECHANISM FOR OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE
INDIVIDUALS TO SEEK RECORDS.
REDRESSED AUTHORIZED UNDER PROP
47 IS THAT IT DOES NOT EXPAND.
THE UNIVERSE OF INDIVIDUALS WHO
QUALIFY FOR RE SENTENCING OR
RECLASSIFICATION OR EXPAND THE
LIST OF QUALIFYING OFFENSES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I VOTE. IS
THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
ON THIS ITEM? SENATOR NIELSEN.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
SENATE. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE
INITIATIVE. TO REPEAL PROP 47
WHICH WAS DECEITFUL. PURPOSELY
BALLOT TITLE AND SUMMARY WAS
DECEITFULLY WRITTEN. THAT IS MY
STRONG AND PROFOUND FEELING. SO
PRIORS DON'T COUNT ANYMORE. AND
NOW WE'RE GOING TO GET TO RE
SENTENCED RE SENTENCED EVEN MORE
OPPORTUNITIES. SO YOU DIDN'T DO
THESE THINGS. HAVE A PEOPLE WHO
HAVE HAD THEIR HOMES BURGLED.
COMPLAINING. AND I'LL SAY, HOW
DID YOU VOTE ON PROP 47? OH THE
SAFE STREETS INITIATIVE. I
SUPPORTED THAT. WELL THEN YOU
VOTED TO HAVE YOUR HOME BURGLED
TODAY. OH, AND AGAIN TOMORROW.
YES AND YOU ALSO VOTED TO HAVE
THESE ABSOLUTE RAGE OF VARIOUS
BUSINESSES. NOT JUST THE BOX
STORES THAT SAN FRANCISCO OR
THEY'RE CLOSING THEM. THE
CITIZENS OF THAT CITY DO NOT
HAVE ACCESS. TO THOSE STORES
BECAUSE THEY'RE TIRED OF THE
PILLAGE. AND BIG STORES PROBABLY
CAN ABSORB SOME OF IT. BUT MOM
AND POP CAN'T PROP 47 SAYS, OH,
THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. WE'RE NOT
GONNA PROSECUTE YOU FOR THESE
THINGS LOW LEVEL OFFENSES.
NONSENSE. THERE'S AN ELEMENT
HERE. THAT DEALS WITH HOW WE
TREAT OUR CHILDREN AND TRAIN AND
TEACH THEM. AND OF THE SAME
APPLIES TO CRIMINALS.
PREDICTABLE PROGRESSIVE
CONSEQUENCES. DO BETTER. IT GETS
BETTER. YOU DO WORSE, IT GETS
WORSE. BUT NOW IN CRIMINAL
JUSTICE, WE ARE REMOVING THE
CONSEQUENCE. AND MYRTLE, LEAVING
LETTING YOU EXPUNGE YOUR PRIORS.
NOW THERE'S SOME DIFFICULTY AT
TRIAL. THERE'S PLENTY OF HABEAS
OPPORTUNITIES. DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
ARE VERY GOOD AT IDENTIFYING
THOSE BUT I SAY COUNTESS'S IN
CRIMINALITY. FORGETTING
CRIMINALITY, TURNING YOUR BACKS
ON CRIMINALITY. IS TURNING YOUR
BACKS ON YOUR FELLOW CITIZENS
WHO WILL BECOME THE VICTIMS.
CAN'T THIS INSTITUTIONS START TO
THINK ABOUT THE VICTIMS? INSTEAD
OF THE CRIMINALS. SADLY, I'M
BEGINNING TO WONDER. I URGE A NO
VOTE. IS THERE ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? SAYING NONE. SENATOR
BRADFORD, YOU MAY CONCLUDE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR OUR VOTE.

NUMBER 28 SENATOR EDMUND IS
READY. PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL
13 35 BY SENATOR EGGMAN AND ACT
RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION,
SENATOR EDMUND THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS
MEMBERS. I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT A
LITTLE TIME IN THE BANK. AND SO
I WANT TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT
LONGER WITH THIS PRESENTATION
BECAUSE I SPOKE WITH YOU. YES
SOME OF YESTERDAY ABOUT YOUR
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL. SO I
WANT TO START OFF MEMBERS BY
SAYING I AM A PERSON WHO TRIES
TO LIVE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF
GRATITUDE. I WANT TO SAY THAT I
HAVE EXCELLENT EXCELLENT CREDIT
SCORES. I WILL PUT MY CREDIT
SCORES UP AGAINST ANYBODY'S IS
THAT SOLELY BECAUSE OF ME? NO.
AGAIN. I TRULY FEEL LIKE I AM
BLESSED AND I TRY TO LIVE IN A
STATE OF GRATITUDE EVERY SINGLE
DAY. I COME FROM AN INTACT
FAMILY. MY MOM'S GENERATION
IMMIGRATED. MY MOM GREW UP IN A
MONOLINGUAL HOME AND POVERTY. AH
BUT I GREW UP IN A IN A HOME
THAT SPOKE ENGLISH, SO I DIDN'T
HAVE TO BE THAT THAT GO BETWEEN
INTERPRETER. I GREW UP IN A HOME
THAT DIDN'T HAVE ADDICTION. AND
WELL, MY DAD HAD SOME MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES THAT YOU SUFFERED
FROM AFTER THE SERVICE. WE HAD
PROTECTIVE FACTORS. AS A SOCIAL
WORKER. WE TALK ABOUT RISKS AND
RESILIENCE. NOW WE TALK MORE
ABOUT IT AS ACES, ADVERSE
CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES AND WE
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW THAT HAS
AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE'S LIVES. SO
MY DAD HAD A LITTLE MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUE. AND I DIDN'T THINK
ABOUT IT, TOO. THIS MORNING
THINKING ABOUT THIS THAT HE
CALLED IT HIS HIS HIS CUCKOO
CHECK. AND HE WOULD GET A LITTLE
CUCKOO CHECK EVERY MONTH AND
THAT WOULD GO TOWARDS OUR
VOCATIONS. IF WE CAN AFFORD 11
THAT YEAR, AND HE ALWAYS TRIED
TO GET A LITTLE PLACE OFF THE
GRID. WHERE YOU COULD HAVE SOME
QUIET. IT ALSO REALLY LEFT HIM
NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK FOR OTHER
PEOPLE. SO MY DAD HAD FRUIT
STANDS. I HAD A WHOLE HOME
STABLE LIFE. WE MOVE ONCE WHEN I
WAS THREE TO A HOUSE ON A LESS
BUSY STREET. TO A COURT. AND
THEN I MOVED WHEN I AS 13 THAT
MY DAD WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE HIS
DREAM BY BEING ABLE TO BUY A
FARM AND WE MOVED OUT TO THE
COUNTRY. I WAS BORN WITH AVERAGE
INTELLIGENCE. I WAS ABLE TO GET
AN EDUCATION. AND MY PARENTS PUT
MY SIBLINGS AND I AS NUMBER ONE
IN THEIR LIFE. MAKING SURE WE'RE
OKAY. THAT WE KNEW THE VALUE OF
HONESTY AND HARD WORK STABILITY
AND THAT EDUCATION WAS OUR PATH.
AND THAT WE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH
THAT WE SHOULD GIVE BACK TO
OTHERS. I AM LUCKY ENOUGH. THAT
I AM HEALTHY. I AM LUCKY ENOUGH.
THAT YESTERDAY WHERE WE ALL WERE
HERE TOGETHER WAS MY EIGHT YEAR.
WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO MY SPOUSE
. I SPENT IT WITH MR BECKER ON
HIS ANNIVERSARY. AH BUT I HAVE
SPENT 39 YEARS UH, WITH RENEE.
AND WE HAVE ENJOYED A GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT ADDICTION.
WITHOUT ABUSE. WITHOUT MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES. WE HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO HAVE A STABLE HOME. I WILL
SAY I CERTAINLY HAVE TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS AND I'M GLAD TO
SHARE THOSE ON ANOTHER DAY. BUT
IN THE LAST DECADE I HAVE BECOME
APPARENT UNEXPECTEDLY. AS MANY
OF YOU KNOW. BUT BECAUSE I HAVE
A STABLE LIFE I WAS ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE THAT. AND MY SPOUSE
SAID BREAST CANCER EARLIER. AND
THEN WITHIN THIS LAST DECADE,
SHE'S HAD BRAIN CANCER, WHICH
HAD LEFT HER WITH SERIOUS
DISABILITIES. AND WE LIVE WITH
THAT EVERY DAY. BUT AGAIN, I'VE
BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.
WE HAVE HEALTHCARE INSURANCE. WE
HAVE A SUPPORTIVE FAMILY. I HAVE
BOTH AN EXPORT SUPPORTIVE LOCAL
FAMILY. MY SIBLINGS ARE STABLE.
MY PARENTS WERE STABLE. EXTENDED
FAMILY IS SUPPORTIVE OF ME. I
AND VERY BLESSED AND I TRIED TO
LIVE MY LIFE IN GRATITUDE EVERY
SINGLE DAY. THINKING ABOUT HOW I
CAN HELP OTHERS. LIKE MANY OF US
, I AM VASTLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO FIND
THEMSELVES LIVING ON THE
STREETS. AND WHAT WE HAVE TRIED
TO DO TO MAKE IT BETTER. WE
PROVIDE THEM WITH VOUCHERS FOR
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR POVERTY
FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, A
GOVERNMENT VOUCHER FOR HOUSING
PAYS ABOUT 80% OF THE RENT ABOUT
80% OF THE RENT. THE 30% THAT
PERSON HAS DEFYING PEOPLE WAIT 3
TO 5 YEARS, SOMETIMES TO BE ABLE
TO GET A VOUCHER THAT'S BOUNCING
AROUND THE STREET THAT'S
BOUNCING AROUND IN SHELTERS. AND
THAT THING ON THAT LIST, SO YOU
GET THAT VOUCHER THAT VOUCHER.
THAT'S MAGIC THAT YOU'RE FINALLY
GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIND A PLACE
TO LIVE. EXCEPT YOU ONLY HAVE
ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS TO FIND A
PLACE TO LIVE. CAN BE EXTENDED.
BUT OFTENTIMES, IF YOU CAN'T
FIND A PLACE TO LIVE, YOU LOSE
THAT VOUCHER AND YOU GO BACK IN
LINE. SO WHEN I WAS OUT VISITING
A BUNCH OF MY SHELTER, DO WE
KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO CREATE
NEW PLACES TO LIVE FOR FOLKS? I
WAS GOING AROUND TALKING AND
LOOKING AT MY NEW PROJECTS ALL
OVER AND TALKING ABOUT YOU WERE
TALKING ABOUT HOW HARD IT IS FOR
PEOPLE TO GET INTO HOUSING. AND
ONE OF THE THINGS WHO WAS ABOUT
CREDIT REPORTS. AND I SAID,
WELL, WE SAID, CERTAINLY WE
DON'T ASK PEOPLE WHO ARE
HOMELESS. FOR A CREDIT REPORT TO
MOVE INTO SOMEPLACE. OH, YES, WE
DO. WE ASKED PEOPLE FOR CREDIT
REPORTS WHEN THEY ARE HOMELESS.
HAVE BEEN HOMELESS. AND HAVE NOT
HAD THE LIFE THAT I HAVE HAD.
HAVE OFTENTIMES STRUGGLED.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES RAISED IN
ADDICTION ABUSED, MOLESTED
TRAFFIC ALL THE THINGS THAT WE
WANT TO HELP MAKE BETTER. SO WE
GIVE MY HOUSING VOUCHER TO GET A
PLACE TO LIVE. AND THEN THE
LANDLORD ASKED FOR THEIR CREDIT
REPORT. RIGHT OH, MY GOD. YES,
WE DO THAT. SO WE THOUGHT WE
GOTTA FIX THAT. THAT'S NOT
RIGHT, AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM
TAJIMA OFTEN SAYS, WE DON'T WANT
TO GIVE PEOPLE HANDOUTS. WE WANT
TO HELP EMPOWER THEM. LET THEM
PROVE THAT THEY DESERVE A SECOND
SHOT. SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO WITH
OUR VOUCHER PROGRAMS. SO THIS
BILL MEMBERS, THIS FEELS SIMPLY
SAYS. IF YOU GO TO GET AN
APARTMENT, UH, BEAR DOES THOSE
THOSE YOU WANT TO GET YOUR KIDS
YOUR FAMILY OFF THE STREET. AND
THEY ASK YOU FOR YOUR CREDIT
REPORT. AND WE KNOW THAT VOUCHER
IS GOING TO PAY 80% OF THAT RENT
RIGHT? THAT LANDLORDS NOT GONNA
LOSE GOING TO GET 80% OF THAT
RENT. BUT CAN YOU PAY THAT OTHER
30% OF DOES YOUR CREDIT SAY THAT
YOU'RE NOT WORTHY TO EVEN GIVE
IT A TRY. THIS BILL SAYS THAT
THE LANDLORD MUST JUST ALLOW
YOU. TO PROVIDE ANOTHER MEANS OF
PROOF THAT MAYBE YOU CAN PAY
WHETHER THAT'S A PAY STUB,
WHETHER THAT'S SOMETHING FROM
THE LAST PLACE YOU LIVED WHERE
THAT'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT SAYS
YOU ARE WORTHY FOR A SHOT. NOT
JUST BASED ON YOUR CREDIT SCORE.
BUT ON WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO
PUT TOGETHER WHILE YOU'RE
WAITING ON THAT LIST TO GET THAT
PLACE TO LIVE, SO YOUR KIDS CAN
HAVE A BETTER SHOT THAN YOU'VE
HAD. THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL DOES
MEMBERS. IT SAYS. SOMEBODY MUST
ALLOW YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PROVE YOURSELF WITH ANOTHER FORM
OF PROOF. THEN A CREDIT SCORE.
AGAIN MEMBERS. I HAVE A VERY
GOOD CREDIT STORE. I LIVE IN A
CONSTANT STATE OF GRATITUDE. AND
THINK ABOUT WHAT I CAN DO TO
MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR OTHER
PEOPLE. I THINK THIS DOES THAT.
I THINK THIS GOES A LITTLE BIT
FURTHER. AND MAKING SURE WE CAN
GET PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS INTO
HOUSING. AND GIVE THEM A SHOT TO
PROVE THAT THEY CAN DO IT. I ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SAYING NONE. PLEASE CALL THE

IS SENATOR HERZBERG, BUT IT'S
SENATOR SKINNER. FIRST, SENATOR
HERTZBERG. SHE IS READY. PLEASE
READ. SENATE BILL 13 40 BY
SENATOR HERTZBERG AND ACT
RELATING TO TAXATION TO TAKE
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. TAX LEVY
SENATOR SKINNER. THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MADAM
PRESIDENT MEMBERS. I'M PLEASED
TO PRESENT FOR OUR COLLEAGUE WHO
CANNOT BE WITH US TODAY. HIS
BILL SB 13 40. WHAT S B? 13 40
DOES IS IT? UPDATES CALIFORNIA'S
CURRENT PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
FOR SOLAR AND IT MAKES SOME
IMPROVEMENTS TO ENSURE THAT OUR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, SCHOOLS AND
OTHERS THAT BENEFIT FROM
PROPERTY TAXES RECEIVE AN
INCREASED PROPORTION OF PROPERTY
TAX REVENUES. WHILE KEEPING
CALIFORNIA COMPETITIVE. IN A
GROWING SOLAR MARKET HERE IN THE
WESTERN STATES. IT MOVES THE
SOLAR PROJECTS OVER TIME FROM
PAYING 0% WHICH IS THE CURRENT
EXEMPTION TO 50% OF PROPERTY TAX
, WHICH ALIGNS CALIFORNIA'S TAX
STRUCTURES WITH OUR NEIGHBORING
STATES LIKE NEVADA. AND ARIZONA.
IT IS SUPPORTED BY MANY
BUSINESS, LABOR AND
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS. AND WITH
THAT, I ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. OR
ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM, SENATOR GROVE. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT. I RESPECTFULLY
RISE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL
BEING THE COUNTY THAT PRODUCES
53% OF THE STATE'S RENEWABLE
ENERGY AND HAS SOLAR PLANTS. YOU
REMOVE OUR ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
TAX THESE INDIVIDUALS TO PAY
THEIR FAIR SHARE. AND THAT'S AN
OFTEN CODE FROM MY COLLEAGUES ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE, PAY
YOUR FAIR SHARE. WE'VE BUILT 36
LARGE SCALE COMMERCIAL SOLAR
PLANTS. WE'VE LOST $19 MILLION A
YEAR 100 AND $10 MILLION OVER
THE LAST 10 YEARS. FOR JUST
THOSE SOLAR PLANTS, NOT PAIN.
THE PROPERTY TAX THAT ARE OIL
COMPANIES DO UM, THAT ARE NOT
PAYING THE PROPERTY TAX THAT ARE
BUILDERS DO THEY'RE NOT PAYING
THE PROPERTY TAX THAT ARE
INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS OWNERS DO.
UM THIS SOLAR TAX EXCLUSION
CREDIT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR
OVER A DECADE. THE SOLAR
COMPANIES CAME WITH THIS BIG
HOSTEL THING THAT HAPPENED A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO OR LAST
YEAR. I BELIEVE WE'VE LOST TWO
YEARS OF COVID SO IT'S HARD TO
DETERMINE A TIMELINE, BUT THEY
WERE SAID THEY WOULD NOT SUPPORT
ANOTHER TOTAL SOLAR TAX
EXCLUSION. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED
THAT THEY ARE ON THE SUPPORT
SIDE OF THIS WE HAVE JUST
APPROVED 27,000 EQUALS ACRES FOR
A POTENTIAL BENEFIT OF ANOTHER
4600 MEGAWATTS OF ELECTRICITY
AND OVER 6500 MEGAWATT HOURS OF
BATTERY STORAGE. IN CURRENT
COUNTY AGAIN, THIS BILL GOING
THROUGH WILL NOT ALLOW US AS A
COUNTY TO TAX THAT BUSINESS,
LIKE EVERY OTHER BUSINESS IS
TAXED. WE CAN'T PAY FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT LIBRARIES, PARKS. SO. YOU KNOW, MY COLLEAGUE FROM
MALIBU OR SOMEPLACE IN THAT AREA
STOOD UP THE OTHER DAY AND SAID
, POINT OF ORDER BECAUSE I SAID
SOMEBODY THE BODY WAS ATTACKING
MY DISTRICT. YOU WON'T ALLOW US
TO PRODUCE OIL IN THE SAFEST,
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY WAY IN
THE WORLD. YOU WON'T GIVE US
WATER TO GROW THE FOOD THAT YOUR
CONSTITUENTS EAT. AND I WISH MY
FARMERS WOULD GROW. SOME
COURAGE. AND JUST NOT SHIP YOUR
CONSTITUENTS FOOD BORDER. POINT
OF ORDER FOR ME TO THE BILL,
PART OF ORDER. THIS BILL IS
RELATED TO SOLAR POWER, NOT NOT
THE OIL SYSTEM OR HAD ASKED TO
SPEAK TO THE MAYOR TO THE BILL.
ALLOW THAT IT'S UM, UM, BROADER
DISCUSSION IF YOU COULD
EVENTUALLY GET TO THE POINT THAT
THIS BILL IS MAKING, I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. AGAIN I'VE ASKED MY I
WOULD ASK MY FARMERS TO GROW
COURAGE AND NOT SHIP YOUR
CONSTITUENTS FOOD AND BELIEVE ME
, IF THEY STOP GETTING FOOD, YOU
GUYS WOULD ALLOW US TO HAVE
WATER TO GROW FOOD IN THE TOP
THREE FOOD PRODUCING COUNTIES IN
THE WORLD. NOW THIS BILL COMES
FORWARD. WE PRODUCE 53% OF THE
STATE'S RENEWABLE ENERGY. AND
YOU'RE TELLING MY COUNTY THE
ONLY COUNTY WITH MAJOR
TRANSMISSION LINES TO TRANSPORT
YOUR POWER, GREEN ENERGY POWER
TO LOS ANGELES AND OTHER
COUNTIES, NONCONTIGUOUS
COUNTIES. YOU'RE TELLING US WE
CAN'T TAX THAT LAND. THOUSANDS
UPON THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF
FARMLAND BEING TAKEN OUT OF
PRODUCTION FOR SOLAR PLANTS
WHERE WE CAN'T TAX THE SOLAR
COMPANIES BECAUSE YOU DO A
STATEWIDE EXCLUSION. THAT IS NOT
RIGHT. VERY DEEPLY RESPECT. MY
COLLEAGUE WHO'S NOT HERE THAT IS
THE AUTHOR OF THIS BILL, BUT IT
IS NOT RIGHT THAT YOU PASS A
BILL THAT SAYS WE CANNOT TAX A
BUSINESS WHEN WE PRODUCE THIS
ENERGY. FOR YOU. AND BECAUSE WE
DO THIS FOR YOU AGAIN 53% OF THE
STATE'S RENEWABLE ENERGY. CURRAN
COUNTY DOESN'T HAVE THE TAX
REVENUE TO PROVIDE FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT, OUR LIBRARIES, OUR
SCHOOLS ARE KEVIN UNDER PROP 98.
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS
ARE PARKS AND REC SYSTEMS. AND
WE DO THIS FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. PLEASE STOP
ATTACKING MY DISTRICT AND STOP
TYING OUR HANDS WERE THE ENERGY
EPICENTER. OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND THE FOOD PRODUCER
IN THE WORLD. I JUST BEG FOR YOU
GUYS TO NOT SUPPORT THIS BILL
AND LET THIS SOLAR TAX EXCLUSION
EXPIRE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO.
IT'S BEEN IN PLACE FOR OVER A
DECADE. IT'S TIME THEY PAY THEIR
FAIR SHARE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR A NO VOTE. SENATOR DOLLY.
THANK YOU. MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS. AND I'VE BEEN HERE
SINCE 2000 AND 12. I WAS A
COUNTY SUPERVISOR BEFORE THAT,
AND WE ALLOWED BECAUSE WE WERE
INCENTIVIZING SOLAR. WE WANTED
TO GO GREEN. WE DIDN'T ALLOW
THEM. TO HAVE TO PAY PROPERTY
TAX IN YOUR COUNTY. IN 2000 AND
18 OR 2016. WE EXTENDED IT.
BEFORE IT WAS EVEN UP. THERE WAS
TWO MEMBERS IN THE ASSEMBLY
FLOOR THAT STOOD UP AND SPOKE
AGAINST THE EXTENSION. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CHESBRO AND MYSELF. LOOK. WE SUBSIDIZE SOLAR IN TAX
CREDITS. CARBON CREDITS. AND
PROPERTY TAX. YOUR LOCAL COUNTY
WHEN YOU PUT IN A SOLAR FILLED
DOES NOT GET A TAX BASE THE SAME
AS IT DOES IF YOU PUT IN A
RESTAURANT. NOW, WHAT DO WE DO
WITH THOSE LOCAL TAXES? LAW
ENFORCEMENT. SOCIAL SERVICES.
ALL THE THINGS THAT A COUNTY AND
CITY HAVE TO SUPPLY TO THEIR
CONSTITUENTS. THIS BILL IS GOING
TO INDEFINITELY ALLOW SOLAR DO
NOT PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE WHEN
THEY'RE SUBSIDIZED SEVERAL
DIFFERENT WAYS. SO WHY WOULD WE
PENALIZE. OUR LOCALITIES BY
REMOVING THIS TAX AND DEFINITELY
IT WAS SUNSET IT OUT BECAUSE WE
DO WANT TO PROMOTE GREEN. SO
MEMBERS. ALLOW LOCAL COUNTIES TO
HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY NEED AND
CITIES THEY NEED TO DO THE JOBS
WE EXPECT THEM TO DO. LET THIS
SUNSET OUT UNLESS ALLOW. THEM TO
PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE. THERE IS
IN MANY CASES MORE SOLAR THAN WE
NEED IN CALIFORNIA. RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE OVERPRODUCED SOLAR. WE NEED
. WE NEED ACTUALLY ENERGY WHEN
THE SUN IS NOT SHINING. THAT'S A
FACT. ANYBODY THAT'S DUG INTO
WHEN WE NEED POWER. WE DON'T
NEED IT. WHEN THE SUN SHINING
AND THE WIND IS BLOWING, WE NEED
IT FROM ABOUT NINE O'CLOCK AT
NIGHT UNTIL ABOUT MIDNIGHT, OR 8
TO 10. THOSE ARE THE TIMES. WE
NEED POWER WHEN THERE'S NO SIGN.
STOP SUBSIDIZING SOMETHING THAT
WE DON'T NEED MORE UP. WE NEED
TRANSMISSION. AND WE NEED
ALTERNATIVE GREEN ENERGY. AND
THE TIME WHEN THE SUN IS NOT
SHINING. THE LOBBY IS SO
POWERFUL. THAT THEY CONTINUE TO
PERPETUATE THAT THEY NEED SOME
ASSISTANCE. THEY DON'T I URGE A
NO VOTE ON THIS BILL. SENATOR
NIELSEN. MADAM PRESIDENT, LADIES
TUMBLER SENATE. IN THE EARLY
YEARS OF THE SOLAR BOOM. THE FEW
WILL I SUPPORTED SOME OF THESE
BENEFITS TO THE SOLAR INDUSTRY.
I DON'T ANYMORE. WHY. BECAUSE
IT'S A NORMAL SHIN INSATIABLE
GREED OF THE SOLAR INDUSTRY TO
KEEP DEMANDING MORE BENEFITS.
DEMANDING NOW, THIS ONE JUST
FOREVER. TIME TO, AS WE WOULD
SAY IN THE CATTLE BUSINESS, WIN
THE CALF. AND THE SOLAR INDUSTRY
WAS SUPPORTIVE OF OTHER FORMS OF
ENERGY. SUCH AS CLEANING AND
THINNING THE FORCE AND THE
WILDLANDS AND COGENERATION. IF
THERE'S EVEN AT LEAST PAY SOME
PASSING INTEREST TO THIS. THEN
I'D LISTEN TO THEM A LITTLE BIT.
THEY DO NOT. EVERY YEAR. THEY
KEEP FINDING NEW WAYS OR
EXTENDING EXISTING WAYS TO
SUBSIDIZE SOLAR. IT'S TIME FOR
SOLAR TO STAND ON ITS OWN. IRON
JOHN NOBLE. SENATOR BURGES.
FOLLOWING IT'S HARD TO FOLLOW MY
COLLEAGUES ON THIS ISSUE,
ESPECIALLY WHEN REPUBLICANS
START TALKING ABOUT FAIR SHARES
. YOU KNOW, THERE HAS BEEN A
PROFOUND ROLE REVERSAL IN
TERMINOLOGY WHEN THEY BROUGHT UP
TEXTS, BUT COLLEAGUES I THINK
THIS ISSUE MAYBE DISTILLED. IN
SOME FASHION AS EXPLOITATION.
AND WHAT I MEAN BY EXPLOITATION
IS THAT THOSE ENERGY REGIONS OF
OUR STATE ARE BEING EXPLOITED.
SPECIFICALLY. THE INTERIOR AND
THE CENTRAL VALLEY AREA WHERE WE
HAVE ENORMOUS BENEFITS BY HAVING
ACCESS TO SUN AND SOLAR ENERGY.
BUT IN THAT BENEFITS EVERYBODY
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. BUT I THINK
WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT A
SITUATION WHERE YOU ARE NOW,
DEPRIVING MUNICIPALITIES OR
SPECIFICALLY COUNTIES FROM THE
FROM THEIR ABILITY TO GENERATE
FUNDING THAT PAYS FOR SOCIAL
SERVICES THAT PAYS FOR THE
SHERIFF. THAT YOU ARE EXPLOITING
THE CENTRAL VALLEY. THAT YOU ARE
EXPLOITING THE INTERIOR OF
CALIFORNIA AND OTHER AREAS IN
THE STATE. YOU'RE GETTING A
BENEFIT IN THE INDUSTRY IS
GETTING A BENEFIT. BUT IT'S
BEING BORN AND BARED BY
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE. IT
DOESN'T SEEM EQUITABLE. IF WE
USE THAT TERM A LOT IN THIS IN
THIS CHAMBER. WHERE'S THE EQUITY
IN THIS? I'D LOVE I DON'T KNOW
HOW MANY OF US HAVE SERVED AS
COUNTY SUPERVISORS IN THIS
CHAMBERS BEFORE. I KNOW A NUMBER
HALF IF YOU WERE TO GO BACK TO
YOUR CONSTITUENCY AND BE BEFORE
YOUR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND
SAY, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAX A
CERTAIN INDUSTRY OR REALM. THEY
WOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT YOU A
LITTLE CROSS SIDE, SAYING PLEASE
PROVIDE THE DETAILS BECAUSE WHAT
YOU'RE ASKING IS A CARVE OUT AN
EXCEPTION. FOR A INDUSTRY AND
FINANCIAL BASE THAT SERVICES THE
ENTIRE AREA. YOU COULD NOT
LITERALLY GET OUT OF YOUR BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS WITHOUT BEING RUN
THROUGH THE RINGER. BUT YET
YOU'RE ASKING. VAZ WAS OF
CALIFORNIA TO DO EXACTLY THAT.
YOU'RE ASKING US TO GIVE UP
FARMLAND TO FALLOW FARMLAND FOR
THE PROFITABILITY. OF CERTAIN
INDUSTRIES THAT SERVICE THE
ENTIRE, UM THE ENTIRE ENERGY
CONSUMING POPULATION OF
CALIFORNIA AND BEYOND, BUT
YOU'RE HOLDING BACK OUR ABILITY.
TO PAY FOR THE OVERHEAD THAT
GOES ALONG WITH THAT, WHETHER
IT'S INFRASTRUCTURE OF PUBLIC
SAFETY. LISTEN FOLKS, I KNOW
THAT WE HAVE A LOT ON OUR ON OUR
PLATES TODAY AND BUT IT WASN'T
THAT LONG AGO. I THINK IT WAS A
COUPLE OF YEARS AGO THAT THERE
WAS AN ISSUE BROUGHT FORWARD BY.
I THINK IT WAS THE SENATOR FROM
SAN JOSE. THAT TALKED ABOUT WHY
WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW FOR THE
DESTINATION TO BE WHERE THE
TAXES COLLECTED BUT ORIGINATION
WHICH WOULD BENEFIT THE COASTAL
AREAS IN DEPRIVED THOSE THAT ARE
RECEIVING THE BENEFIT UPON
DESTINATION. THERE IS A
CONCERTED EFFORT TO CAPTURE
DOLLARS FOR RESPECTIVE BENEFITS.
WE ARE ASKING OUR COLLEAGUES
HERE FROM THE INTERIOR
THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR IN
ENERGY PRODUCING AREAS OF
CALIFORNIA. THAT YOU ARE
EXPLOITING US. AND IT IS NOT
EQUITABLE. KINDLY VOTE NO ON
THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS THE
ONLY RIGHT THING TO DO. MEMBERS
THERE'S A LOT OF CHATTER ON THE
IN THEROOM, AND IT'S HARD TO
HEAR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
TO SOMEBODY. IF YOU COULD PLEASE
TAKE IT OFF THE FLOOR OR GO IN
THE BACK. THAT WOULD BE MUCH
APPRECIATED. IS THERE ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON
THIS ITEM? SENATOR GROVE. THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR FOR A SECOND
BITE AT THE APPLE. I DO
APPRECIATE IT. I LOOKED IN MY
FILE AND I FOUND THIS LETTER.
THIS LETTER DATED AUGUST 12 20
21ST TO THE HONORABLE PERMISSION
TO READ. PERMISSION GRANTED THE
HONORABLE GAVIN NEWSOM, GOVERNOR
STATE OF CALIFORNIA STATE,
CAPITOL AND LEGISLATORS. SENATE
NAMES EVERYBODY DEAR GAVIN
NEWSOM. THE SOLAR ENERGY
INDUSTRIES ASSOCIATION S E.
AMERICAN CLEAN POWER CALIFORNIA
P POWER OF CALIFORNIA AND LARGE
SCALE SOLAR ASSOCIATION L S A
RIGHT TO ADVISE YOU THAT THE
SOLAR INDUSTRY WILL WILL PURSUE
LEGISLATION IN 2022 TO ADDRESS
THE CURRENTLY SCHEDULED JANUARY
. 21ST 2025 CENTS SET UNDER THE
SOLAR PROPERTY TAX EXCLUSION.
MEMBERS THE NEXT SENTENCE WE DO
NOT INTEND TO EXPECT TO SEEK AN
EXTENSION, THE 100% FULL
EXCLUSION OF UTILITY SCALE SOLAR
PROJECTS UPON ITS EXPIRATION.
THE SOLAR COMPANIES WROTE THIS
LETTER AND SAID THEY WOULD NOT
PURSUE THIS LEGISLATION. AGAIN
THIS THIS BILL ADVERSELY AFFECTS
MY COUNTY. WE CAN'T WE GET PAID
ON THE OIL WE PRODUCE WHICH WE
ARE PRODUCING 350,000 BARRELS
LESS. AN IMPORTING THOSE BARRELS
FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. WE GET
PAID TAX DOLLARS ON THAT. AND
AVALERE, UM, TAX, BUT THE BOTTOM
LINE IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE MONEY. WE
GET PAID FOR OUR FARMLANDS. WE
HAVE PAID FOR FARMERS WHO GROW
FOOD, BUT WE DON'T GET PAID ON
SOLAR. NOW WE HAVE A SMALL
LITTLE WORK AROUND THAT WE'RE
DOING ON SEQUA BECAUSE MY
PLANNING COMMISSIONER IS
EXCEPTIONALLY SMART. BUT IF THIS
BILL PASSES, IT DOES NOT ALLOW
US TO TAX THOSE BUSINESSES LIKE
EVERY OTHER BUSINESS THAT WOULD
BE LIKE GOING INTO ONE OF YOUR
DISTRICTS AND TAKE YOUR LIKE
FROM L. A AND SAY, THE HOLLYWOOD
FILM INDUSTRY AND EVERYBODY
ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND GO DOWN
THE LIST OF THE INDUSTRIES THAT
SUPPORT YOUR DISTRICT. YOU'RE
NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THEM, THEY
GET TAX EXCLUSIONS. AND ALTHOUGH
I DO BELIEVE THAT TAXES ARE VERY
HIGH IN THIS STATE, AND THAT'S A
LOT OF THE REASON THAT PEOPLE
LEAVE THIS STATE. YOU CANNOT
TAKE AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY
SPECIFICALLY FROM A COUNTY THAT
PRODUCES THE MOST GREEN ENERGY
AND SOLAR AND WIND TECHNOLOGY IN
THE ENTIRE STATE. AND TELL THEM
THAT THEY CAN'T GENERATE A
REVENUE FROM THEM TO SUPPORT LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND OUR LIBRARIES
AND OUR PRIVATE ROADS AND THE
THINGS THAT WE TAKE CARE OF IN
OUR COMMUNITY. AND SO I DEEPLY
RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR A NO
VOTE. SEEING NO FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. SENATOR
SKINNER, YOU MAY CONCLUDE. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. UM LET ME
MAKE CLEAR. THAT THIS IS NOT.
AND EXTENSION FOR A EXEMPTION
THAT IS AT 100% AS I INDICATED
IN MY OPENING REMARKS. THIS IS A
MODIFIED EXTENSION OF THE
EXISTING PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION
SO THAT ULTIMATELY, THE SOLAR
INSTALLATIONS WILL BE PAYING 50%
OF PROPERTY TAXES. THEY WILL NO
LONGER BE AS THEY ARE NOW.
EXEMPT FROM ALL PROPERTY TAXES.
SO THIS ACTUALLY ADDRESS IS NOT
ALL, OBVIOUSLY, BUT MANY OF THE
CONCERNS THAT OUR COLLEAGUES
HAVE RAISED THAT ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE LOSS OF THE PROPERTY
TAXES. SO THIS LET ME BE CLEAR.
THIS IS NOT 100% EXEMPTION. IT
WILL REQUIRE THE SOLAR
INSTALLATIONS TO PAY 50. WITHIN
A FEW YEARS. AND THE REASON THAT
WE NEED TO DO THIS NOW IS WE
HAVE MANY SOLAR PROJECTS THAT.
WERE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING
FINANCING, GETTING PERMITTING
AND STARTING TO BREAK GROUND
WHEN OF COURSE, DURING THE
PANDEMIC, WE HAD OUR SUPPLY
CHAIN PROBLEMS. AND SOME OF
THOSE PROJECTS BASED THEIR
FINANCING ON OUR EXISTING RULES.
AND IF THEY. ARE NOT ABLE TO
BREAK GROUND. IN THAT TIME, THEY
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE
FINANCING THAT WAS EXPECTED. AND
YOU KNOW, LIKE MANY OF THE
THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING
RECENTLY TO TRY TO MAKE SURE
THAT WORK THAT WE SUPPORT GETS
DONE, AND THAT THE PROBLEMS THAT
THE PANDEMIC CREATED WITH SUPPLY
CHAIN AND OTHERS DO NOT DISRUPT
THAT. THAT THERE IS ONE OF THE
PURPOSES OF THIS BILL, AND AS I
INDICATED IT DOES NOT. IT. IS A
PARTIAL EXEMPTION VERSUS 100.
AND WITH THAT, I ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. ALAN. I ARCHULETTA ATKINS FAITH NO

FILE ITEM NUMBER 31 SENATOR CAM
LAGER. SHE HAS READY. PLEASE
PLEASE READ SENATE BILL 13 91 BY
SENATOR CAM LAGER AND ACT
RELATING TO GREENHOUSE GASSES.
SENATOR CAM LONGER TO THE FLOOR
IS YOURS. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. GOOD MORNING MEMBERS
. SP 13 91 WOULD REQUIRE
REASONABLE AND MUCH NEEDED
REFORMS TO CALIFORNIA'S CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM FOR CLIMATE
PRODUCE POLLUTION. IT HAS BEEN
WIDELY REPORTED THAT THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD CONTINUES TO
RELY HEAVILY ON THIS POLICY
WHILE DISMISSING SERIOUS
CONCERNS ABOUT ITS PERFORMANCE
THAT COME FROM THE A S OFFICE,
INDEPENDENT ACADEMICS AND
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES.
WE TALK A LOT ABOUT HOW
CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO DO MORE TO
MEET ITS CLIMATE TARGETS, AND
THAT'S IMPORTANT. WE KNOW FROM
RECENT LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT
HEARINGS, AND EXPERT ADVISORY
REPORTS THAT CALIFORNIA'S CAP
AND TRADE PROGRAM HAS TOO MANY
ALLOWANCES AND CARBON OFFSETS
THAT IT'S TOO EASY. FOR BIG
POLLUTERS TO CONTINUE BUSINESS
AS USUAL. AND MANY OF THOSE
OFFSETS AREN'T DELIVERING
CLIMATE BENEFITS. WHAT THAT
MEANS ON THE GROUND. AS A LOS
ANGELES TIMES COVER STORY FROM
LAST FALL. REMINDS US IS THAT
YOUNG KIDS LIVING NEARBY
REFINERIES GET ASTHMA MORE OFTEN
THEIR FAMILIES TAKE THEM TO THE
EMERGENCY ROOM MORE OFTEN. SO
THE CONSEQUENCES OF AIR
POLLUTION FROM FACILITIES
SUBJECT TO CAP AND TRADE
CONTINUES TO FALL
DISPROPORTIONATELY ON
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. MY BILL
WOULD HELP ADDRESS THESE
INJUSTICES. WE KNOW THAT THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD AT SOME POINT
WANTS TO LINK ITS PROGRAM WITH A
SIMILAR PROGRAM THAT'S UNDER
DEVELOPMENT IN WASHINGTON STATE.
WASHINGTON LEGISLATORS STUDIED
OUR PROGRAM CLOSELY. THEIR BILL
SPONSOR, FORMER SENATOR REUVEN
CARLYLE SAID HE POURED OVER
CRITICAL REPORTS ON CALIFORNIA'S
PROGRAM IN DRAFTING WASHINGTON'S
LAW AND THEY DECIDED TO DO
SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT
FOR PEOPLE LIVING NEXT TO MAJOR
POLLUTERS. IN CALIFORNIA. WE LET
THESE COMPANIES INCREASED THEIR
POLLUTION WHENEVER THEY CLAIM
CARBON OFFSET CREDITS FROM EXTRA
CARBON SUPPOSEDLY STORED IN A
TREE OR METHANE THAT'S NOT
EMITTED FROM A COAL MINE. BUT IN
WASHINGTON STATE POLICYMAKERS
DECIDED THAT THE USE OF CARBON
OFFSETS WON'T EXPAND THE TOTAL
POLLUTION ALLOWED IN THEIR
PROGRAM. THEY WON'T LET OFFSETS
OUTSOURCE THE HARD WORK OF
CLEANING UP THE AIR. SO MY BILL
SB 13 91 WOULD BRING THE LESSONS
WASHINGTON LEARNED FROM
CALIFORNIA BACK TO CALIFORNIA.
SHOULDN'T WE IN CALIFORNIA BE
WILLING TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE
LIVING IN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES? AND SHOULDN'T WE BE
WILLING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE OUR
PROGRAM AS STRONG AS IT CAN BE?
SO I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I AM
COMMITTED TO CONTINUING TO WORK
ON THIS BILL WITH AMENDMENTS IN
THE ASSEMBLY. THAT SUPPORT THE
CRITICAL LEADERSHIP ROLES THAT
STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA,
WASHINGTON AND OREGON AND EVEN
QUEBEC AND CANADA HAVE AND
COOPERATING ON CLIMATE POLICY.
TO CREATE MEANINGFUL REFORMS TO
INCREASE CLIMATE, AMBITION AND
TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS IN OUR
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM THAT
ADDRESS CONCERNS WITH OUR
PERFORMANCE IN RELATION TO
EXISTING STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS.
TO HELP ENSURE THAT INNOVATIONS
THAT OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAVE
MADE IN THE DESIGN OF THEIR
PROGRAMS ARE REFLECTED IN THE
ONGOING OPERATION OF OURS. AND
TO PURSUE REFORMS AS STANDALONE
REQUIREMENTS THAT DECOUPLE
CALIFORNIA'S CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM TO SIMILAR PROGRAMS IN
OTHER JURISDICTIONS. SO WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE. IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE,
SENATOR WITKOWSKI. I HOPE FOLKS
CAUGHT ONE OF THE LAST POINTS
THAT MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES SAID THAT HE'S COMMITTED
TO AMENDMENTS ON THIS BILL THAT
ARE GOING TO DECOUPLE THE
LINKAGE FROM THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON COMING INTO OUR
AUCTION PROGRAM. AND THE REFORMS
THAT MANY OF US HAVE LIKE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE OVER
ALLOWANCES IN THE OFFSETS. THEIR
CAPTAIN. INVEST PROGRAM, IN MY
OPINION IS SUPERIOR TO OURS.
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
HEARTBURN ABOUT THE PRESSURE
THAT'S BEING THAT WILL BE PUT ON
THE AIRPORT. WHAT THE BILL IN
PRINT BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE
THAT LINKAGE THAT ACCEPTANCE OF
WASHINGTON TO BE PREDICATED ON
THESE DESIRABLE REFORMS THAT WE
WANT. THE AMENDMENTS THAT SHE
WILL BE TAKING WILL BE WILL
DECOUPLE THOSE THINGS. SO WHILE
WE'RE ALL COMMITTED TO IMPROVING
OUR PROGRAM HERE, AND I HAVE
BEEN A SERIOUS, OUTSPOKEN CRITIC
OF THE PROGRAM IS IT IS THAT
DECOUPLING WILL ALLOW THE
AIRPORT TO GO FORWARD WITH THE
PROCESS TO BRING WASHINGTON AND
OREGON OR ANY OTHER STATES THAT
WANT TO JOIN OUR MARKET AND
TRADING AUCTIONS AND DO THE
SIMULTANEOUSLY DO THE
INDEPENDENT WORK THERE. IT'S NOT
AS AGGRESSIVE AS IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN, BUT IT'S ALSO EXTREMELY
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BILL AS IT'S
SET UP RIGHT NOW, SO I'M
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR, OBVIOUSLY WORKING WITH
THE AIR BOARD TO MAKE TOO
IMPROVE OUR PROGRAM BECAUSE IT
SHOULDN'T BE STATIC AND WE'RE A
LITTLE DISAPPOINTED ON ON THE ON
THE ROLE THAT CAP AND TRADE IS
PLAYING TO REDUCE OUR CARBON.
THANK GOD WE HAVE ARE COVERED IN
MOUNTS. THANK GOD WE HAVE THE
RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARDS
AND LOW CARBON FUEL, BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT'S MADE. HELP US MEET
OUR 2020 GOALS. BUT WITH THAT I
WOULD URGE AN AYE VOTE ON THIS
MEASURE. SENATOR ALLEN. I JUST
WANT TO. I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR PUT IN SOME HARD
WORK. ON THIS ISSUE BROADLY
SPEAKING, AND I ALSO JUST WANT
TO THANK HER FOR THE
CONVERSATIONS AND WORK SHE'S PUT
IN TO ENSURE THAT THAT WE
DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN OFFSETS
AND LINKAGES THAT ARE OF HIGH
CALIBER AND OF LESSER CALIBER.
UH AS WAS MENTIONED BY OUR
SENATOR, GOOD SENATOR FROM
FREMONT. PROGRAMS LIKE THE ONE
IN WASHINGTON ARE STRONG,
COMMENDABLE. WE SHOULD BE
FIGURING OUT WAYS TO WORK WITH
THEM TO LINK WITH THEM. THERE
ARE OTHERS THAT ARE THE THEY
REALLY LEAVE A LOT TO BE HAVE A
LOT LACKING, AND SO, UM, IT'S I
WANT TO APPLAUD YOU. THANK YOU
FOR THE WORK YOU'RE DOING. OF
COURSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
IN THE END OF THE DAY, ALL OF
THESE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING
ONLY MATTER IF WE'RE ABLE TO
WORK WITH AND GET OTHER
JURISDICTIONS TO DO THIS WORK AS
WELL AND SO BUILDING STRONG,
MEANINGFUL LINKAGES WITH THOSE
THAT REALLY ARE TRYING TO PUSH
THE ENVELOPE. HAS TO CONTINUE TO
BE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR
WORK. SENATOR BECKER. THANK YOU
ALL. ASSOCIATE MY REMARKS WITH
MY TWO COLLEAGUES WHO JUST SPOKE
AND JUST ADD THAT YOU KNOW, A
LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THAT OH,
CAPTAIN TRADE MUST BE MUST BE
WORKING. UM WE'VE BEEN
DECREASING OUR MISSIONS,
ALTHOUGH MUCH MORE SLOWLY THAN
WE THAN WE NEED TO BE DOING TO
HIT OUR GOALS. BUT ACTUALLY VERY
LITTLE OF OUR EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS HAVE COME FROM CAP
AND TRADE. THEY MOSTLY COME FROM
THE RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD
, WHICH I'M EXCITED ABOUT. THE
BILL WILL HEAR ABOUT IT FROM OUR
SENATOR. FROM SANTA CRUZ AND
FROM THE LOW CARBON FUEL
STANDARD, AS WAS MENTIONED ABOUT
VERY LITTLE FROM CAP AND TRADE.
SO WE DO HAVE TO FIX THIS
PROGRAM. UM, I THINK THIS WILL
GO A LONG WAY I AGAIN WITH THE
REMARKS OF THE AMENDMENTS
REFERRED TO MAKING SURE THAT WE
CAN STILL HAVE CONNECTED UP IN
IN A POSITIVE WAY. UM, WHETHER
YOU KNOW THE AUTHORS INTENDED TO
SO UM, WITH THAT WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY. ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SAYING NAN SENATOR CAME LONGER
YOU MAY CONCLUDE THANK YOU SO
MUCH. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR SHARING THEIR
COMMENTS ON THE WORK THAT WE
HAVE DONE IN THEIR COMMITMENT TO
THIS BILL IN THIS PROCESS AND
HOW WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO MOVE
A CALIFORNIA FORWARD. ULTIMATELY
THIS IS A BILL THAT'S ABOUT
PROVIDING MORE DAYLIGHT TO THE
PROCESS. I WANT TO. I WAS
DISCUSSING THIS BILL WITH MY
ALLEGED DIRECTOR. I'M GOING TO
GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO HOWARD KWAN.
PLEASE DON'T ANYONE TAKE HIM
FROM ME WHILE I'M STILL HERE?
BUT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS
AND THE DISCUSSION WAS THAT YOU
KNOW, CALIFORNIA DID SO MUCH
WORK WHEN WE DECIDED TO PUT
TOGETHER THIS CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM. WE WERE IN THE GYM
EVERY DAY WORKING AND THEN WE
GOT A LITTLE LAZY. WE STOPPED
GOING TO THE GYM. WE STOPPED
TRAINING. BUT OTHER STATES
DECIDED TO STEP UP. AND START
WORKING OUT. AND SO WE HAVE GOT
TO GET BACK INTO THE GYM. WE
HAVE MUSCLE ATROPHY AS IT
RELATES TO OUR CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM, AND SO IF WE WANT TO BE
STELLAR HEALTHY. ROBUST AS A
STATE WITH THIS PROGRAM, THEN IT
IS TIME FOR US TO GET BACK TO
THE CARDIO AND GET BACK TO THE
WEIGHTS AS IT RELATES TO OUR
REVIEW AND RULEMAKING PROCESS.
I'M SORRY I HAD TO GO THERE AND
A GOOD DIET, BUT THIS IS WHAT
IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOR US TO BE.
A ROBUST FOR US TO BE EFFECTIVE
AND FOR US TO HAVE A PROGRAM
THAT WILL BE ENTICING AND
EXCITING FOR OTHER JURISDICTIONS
. AND WITH THAT, I'M ASKING FOR
YOUR I VOTE. PLEASE CALL THE

ANNOUNCE THAT WE HAVE VISITING
WITH US HERE TODAY. THE EIGHTH

WELCOME TO THE SENATE. WE'RE
GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE. YEAH.
MEMBERS ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO
FILE ITEM NUMBER 33 SENATOR
GLASER IS READY. PLEASE READ.
SENATE BILL 9 11 BY SENATOR
GLASER, AN ACT RELATING TO
PUBLIC INTEREST MEDIA. SENATOR
GLASER. THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS. I KNOW THERE IS A LOT
OF SUSPENSE IN THE HOUSE TODAY.
HAVE FOLKS. MAYBE EVEN THE KIDS
UPSTAIRS ARE WAITING AROUND FOR
THAT WILD PIGS LEGISLATIVE
LEGISLATION, AND I'M JUST HERE
TO TELL YOU THAT THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE TO JUST WAIT A LITTLE
LONGER. THAT SUSPENSE JUST HAS
TO BUILD A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
ALL RIGHT. MEMBERS SENATE BILL
911 IS ABOUT THE NEWS DESSERTS
THAT ARE OCCURRING IN SO MANY OF
OUR COMMUNITIES THAT IS
THREATENING, REALLY THREATENING
OUR DEMOCRACY. THIS BILL WOULD
PROVIDE GRANTS TO LOCAL MEDIA
ORGANIZATIONS TO SUPPORT US TO
SUPPORT COVERAGE OF LOCAL PUBLIC
AFFAIRS. THESE GRANTS WOULD BE
DIRECTED TO PLACES WHERE
CREDIBLE NEWS COVERAGE IS SCARCE
AND THE COMMUNITIES THAT
TRADITIONAL MEDIA HAVE LONG
IGNORED. 1/4 OF THE GRANT MONEY
WOULD BE SET ASIDE FOR ETHNIC
MEDIA. AND 1/4 FOR MEDIA SERVING
SMALL COMMUNITIES WITHOUT
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY. THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE SENATOR
DRIZZLE. THANK YOU. MADAM
PRESIDENT. I HAVE SOME CONCERNS
OF ABOUT THIS BILL. I DON'T
THINK THE CONCERNS ARE TO DOUBT
THE AUTHORS. INTENTIONS HOWEVER.
FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. BOTH
WITHIN THE LATINO CAUCUS SAYS
AND AS CHAIR OF THE BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE, UH, OVERSEEING
FUNDING THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE.
AH OUR CENSUS PLANNING, UH, THE
PANDEMIC. THERE'S SO MANY WAYS
IN WHICH WE REALLY HAD TO FIGHT
HARD FOR THE RESOURCE IS FOR
ETHNIC MEDIA TO OUT TO GET TWO
ETHNIC MEDIA SO THAT THEY COULD
GET OUT AND INFORM AND DO THE
OUTREACH TO OUR COMMUNITIES. SO
WITHOUT THAT PUSH FOR ADDITIONAL
FUNDING, WE WOULD NOT HAVE
REACHED SO MANY HARD TO REACH
COMMUNITIES. ON THE LATINO
CAUCUS. WE'D MAKE PUSHED REALLY
HARD FOR MEDIA ENTITIES, UM, AND
SMALL MEDIA ENTITIES, ETHNIC
MEDIA ENTITIES TO GET THE
RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED. UM I
SHARE WITH THE MANY
ORGANIZATIONS. AH ORGANIZATIONS
FROM MARK COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
WHO HAVE CONCERNS AS TO CREATING
ANOTHER LAYER OF BUREAUCRACY
RATHER THAN FINANCING THE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE NEEDED. UM UH
INCLUDING, UH, AND ESPECIALLY
OUR ETHNIC MEDIA WITH THAT I
THANK YOU. SENATOR GONZALES. YES
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
I, TOO SHARE CONCERNS WITH THE
BILL RELATED TO WHAT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES HAD
MENTIONED. BUT I KNOW, UM IN
SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT HAD
BEEN SOME, UM I GUESS
UNDERSTANDING OR FEELING THAT
THERE WOULD BE A BOARD WOULD
MAYBE BE A YOU KNOW, NOT SORT OF
UM, SUPPORTIVE OF ETHNIC MEDIA
AND I JUST LOVE TO SEE IF YOU
HAD ANY RESPONSE TO THAT AND HOW
WE CAN WORK TOGETHER TO MOVE
THIS FORWARD IN A WAY THAT'S
VERY INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE. SO
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. SAYING THEN SENATOR
GLACIER. YOU MAY CONCLUDE GREAT.
WELL, I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS
FROM THE SENATOR FROM LONG
REGION FROM LOS ANGELES. THIS
BILL IN NO WAY INTERFERES WITH
THAT OUTREACH EFFORT THAT THE
SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES IN
PARTICULAR TALKED ABOUT WHICH IS
THAT MAKING SURE THAT IN A LOT
OF THE POLICIES THAT WE ENACT TO
A PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE TO REACH
ALL COMMUNITIES, AND A PART OF
THAT IS TO INVEST RESOURCES IN
ADVERTISING IN ALL MEDIA,
INCLUDING ETHNIC MEDIA, AND I
THINK THAT THE IN ALL THE
CONSULTATIONS THAT WE HAVE HAD
WITH ETHNIC MEDIA AND COMMUNITY
PAPERS AROUND THE STATE. THEY
HAVE POINTED TO THAT THAT MORE
ROBUST ADVERTISING DOLLARS THAT
HAVE COME FROM THE STATE AS A
LIFESAVER. IN SO MANY WAYS THIS
BILL BEFORE YOU DOES NOTHING TO
INTERFERE WITH THAT WORK, AND
THAT WORK NEEDS TO CONTINUE. BUT
IT DOES PROVIDE A NEW PART OF
MONEY. THAT AS A AS A PART OF
THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE ETHNIC
MEDIA COMMUNITY. WE HAVE CREATED
A SET ASIDE, IT WAS NOT I THE
BILL. ORIGINALLY IT SETS ASIDE A
MINIMUM A MINIMUM OF 25. OF THE
GRANT MONEY FOR ETHNIC MEDIA AND
25% FOR COMMUNITY SMALL
COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS. IN
ADDITION, THE ESTABLISHMENT OF
THE BOARD TO ADMINISTER THIS
PROGRAM ALSO HAS I WAS STRICT
DIVERSITY REQUIREMENTS FOR
REPRESENTATION. THE APPOINTMENTS
COME FROM THE SENATE. THEY COME
FROM THE GOVERNOR. THEY COME
FROM THE ASSEMBLY AND LANGUAGE
IN THE IN THE LEGISLATION.
REQUIRES THAT DIVERSITY THAT WE
ARE SO PROUD OF HAVING IN OUR
STATE AND SHOULD HAVE AN ALL
DECISION MAKING ELEMENTS OF THE
WORK THAT WE DO. SO THIS THIS
LEGISLATION BEFORE YOU REALLY IS
INNOVATIVE TO THE EXTENT THAT
IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN YOU HAVE A
YOU KNOW THE NEWS MEDIA THAT WE
DON'T WANT TO INTERFERE WITH. WE
DON'T WANT TO MAKE OUR OWN
JUDGMENTS ABOUT HOW THEY DO
THEIR WORK. BUT WE DO KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THEIR WORK IS THAT
THAT OVERSIGHT EVEN WHEN IT'S
UNCOMFORTABLE FOR THOSE OF US IN
GOVERNMENT AT THE LOCAL LEVEL,
AND AT THE STATE LEVEL TO HAVE
THAT OVERSIGHT. WE KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT THAT IS TO OUR
DEMOCRACY. THAT OVERSIGHT THAT
ACCOUNTABILITY. OF THAT WORK
THAT WE DO, AND WE ALSO KNOW
THAT BECAUSE OF GREAT JOURNALISM
, WE HEAR THINGS THAT ARE
UNCOMFORTABLE DISCLOSURES OF BAD
BEHAVIOR, BUT THAT KEEPS OUR
DEMOCRACY STRONGER. THAT
OVERSIGHT MAKES US BETTER AND
MORE ROBUST AS A REPRESENTATIVE
GOVERNMENT, AND SO WE NEED TO
SUPPORT IT AND ONE FINAL THING
MEMBERS AGAIN BECAUSE THIS FACES
IS DELICATE. ON THE NATIONAL
LEVEL. WE HAVE THE CORPORATION
FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING A
SIMILAR MODEL THAT THIS BILL
THAT FOLLOWS WHERE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT PROVIDES SOME MONEY,
BUT IT DOESN'T TELL JOURNALISTS
HOW TO DO THEIR WORK ABOARD DOES
THAT WE HAVE THE CALIFORNIA ARTS
COUNCIL AGAIN A DELICATE SPACE
BECAUSE UM, ART TO ME MIGHT BE
SOMETHING THAT YOU HATE. AND YET
WE KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE ARTS
ARE IN OUR WORK. AND SO IT ALSO
FOLLOWS THAT MODEL OF SETTING UP
A EXPERTS IN THAT SPACE TO MAKE
THEIR BEST JUDGMENTS. AND WITH
THAT MEMBERS, I THINK THIS IS A
BILL THAT IS INNOVATIVE BUT
IMPORTANT TO THE FOUNDATION OF
OUR DEMOCRACY. AND WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.

SENATOR BECKER THE FLOOR IS

PRESIDENT. SB 1000 PROTECTS THE
FREEDOM OF THE PRESS TO REPORT
AND THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES THROUGH POLICE RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS ACCESS. FOR 70,
PLUS YEARS, NEWS OUTLETS,
JOURNALISTS AND THE PUBLIC HAVE
HAD ACCESS TO POLICE RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS. THIS ACCESS IS
CRITICAL FOR TRANSPARENCY,
ACCOUNTABILITY, REPORTING PUBLIC
SAFETY ACTIVITY OF ALL KINDS
LIKE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS,
DISASTERS AND CRIME TO THE
PUBLIC. UNFORTUNATELY AN
ALARMING TREND IN CALIFORNIA AND
THE NATION THAT IS POLICE
DEPARTMENTS FULLY ENCRYPTING OR
BLOCKING THE RADIO
COMMUNICATIONS IN THE NAME OF
PROTECTING PERSONALLY
IDENTIFIABLY INFORMATION.
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN IN FACT
, PROTECT THAT KIND OF
PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION WITHOUT PUTTING THE
PUBLIC IN THE DARK, AND THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL IS ABOUT. THIS
BILL IS NOT A MANDATE TO DE
ENCRYPT. THIS BILL PROVIDES A
HOST OF OPTIONS TO PUBLIC SAFETY
DEPARTMENTS, BOTH BIG AND SMALL.
AND GRANTS PROTECTIONS TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT WHO MAY TRANSMIT
PRIVATE INFORMATION OVER
ACCESSIBLE RADIO WAVES FOR
OFFICER SAFETY. CHP AND MANY
COUNTIES AND CITIES WILL NOT BE
IMPACTED FISCALLY OR

TO PASS TODAY, AND WE RECEIVED
SUPPORT FROM PRIVACY AND FIRST
AMENDMENT ORGANIZATIONS.
INDICATING THAT WE HAVE FOUND
THE RIGHT BALANCE. UM WITH THIS
BILL, AND WITH THE DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION AMENDMENT, LAW
ENFORCEMENT HAS AN ADDITIONAL
YEAR TO IMPLEMENT NOW IS NOT THE
TIME TO REDUCE POLICE
TRANSPARENCY. I WORKED CLOSELY
WITH THE DOJ, STATE AND LOCAL
ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENTS.

FACE TIME WITH MY FAMILY. UM AND
RIGHT NOW, IT'S VERY COSTLY AND
VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT BEHIND
BARS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF
YOU STAY STILL PAY PER MINUTE
FOR YOUR PHONE CONVERSATIONS. I
AM ALL ENOUGH TO REMEMBER DOING
THAT. YOU KNOW, SOMEONE CALLING
FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, OKAY,
THIS IS 10 CENTS A MINUTE. WE
HAVE TO, UH, TALK VERY QUICKLY.
UM, WELL RIGHT NOW BEHIND BARS.
IT'S 2.5 CENTS A MINUTE. AND
THAT'S FOR DOMESTIC CALLS, SEVEN
CENTS A MINUTE INTERNATIONAL
FIVE CENTS PER EMAIL. IF YOU
TEXT A PICTURE TO THAT EMAIL,
THAT'S ANOTHER FIVE CENTS AND
FOR A VIDEO CALL. IT'S 20 CENTS
A MINUTE. RIGHT NOW. HERE. AND
WHO'S GETTING THAT MONEY? UM
YES, SOME OF THE COUNTY JAILS
ARE GETTING A LITTLE BIT AND
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN A
MOMENT, BUT MOST OF IT'S GOING
TO PRIVATE INDUSTRY. THAT'S
ABOUT A $1.4 BILLION PRISON
PHONE CALL INDUSTRY THAT IS
PROFITING AND WHO'S PAYING FOR
THAT WELL AS PRIMARILY LOW
INCOME FAMILIES. A LOT OF PEOPLE
OF COLOR AND PRIOR TO THE
PANDEMIC, MORE THAN ONE IN THREE
FAMILIES WERE DRIVEN INTO DEBT.
MORE STRUGGLING TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE LOVED ONE INSIDE. AT
THE 87% OF THAT WEIGHT FOLLOWING
ON WOMEN. THE COUNTY JAIL
SYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY HARD TO
NAVIGATE EACH GEO OPERATING ON A
DIFFERENT SYSTEM WITH DIFFERENT
PROVIDER SO IT'S DIFFERENT
CALLED TO TRANSFER MONEY WHEN
LOVED ONES MOVED TO A DIFFERENT
FACILITY. SO BY ESTABLISHING
FREE PHONE CALLS, THIS BILL
STREAMLINES COMMUNICATIONS AND
ENSURE EQUITABLE ACCESS. TO ALL
INCARCERATED PEOPLE WITH THEIR
WITH THEIR FAMILIES. I'VE HAD
AGAIN A LOT OF GOOD
CONVERSATIONS WITH MY
COLLEAGUES, INCLUDING MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BALDWIN PARK
ABOUT THE LOGISTICS AND I KNOW
IT SEEMS DIFFICULT. I CAN JUST
TELL YOU THAT. WHERE IT'S BEEN
IMPLEMENTED, WHICH SO FAR SAN
FRANCISCO NEW YORK CITY, SAN
DIEGO, CONNECTICUT NOW HAS GONE
TO COMPLETELY FREE PRISON PHONE
CALLS. THEY ADAPT. THIS IS ONLY
AVAILABLE. UM, IT'S OF COURSE,
THERE'S A CAP, BUT IT'S ALSO
ONLY AVAILABLE AS ALLOWED BY THE
FACILITY WITH IT CAN'T INTERFERE
WITH PROGRAMMING OTHER THINGS SO
THEY'RE FINDING IN SAN FRANCISCO
, FOR EXAMPLE, IT'S ABOUT 30
MINUTES A DAY IN TWO DIFFERENT
15 MINUTES. BLOCKS AND AGAIN. I
JUST WANT TO SAY WE WANT THIS TO
HAPPEN. WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE
THIS. WE WANT PEOPLE TO KEEP
THEIR SUPPORT SYSTEMS AND TO
PLAN FOR THEIR RELEASE,
INCLUDING FINDING A JOB. AND
HOUSING AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
KEEPING IN TRUCK WITH THEIR
LOVED ONES TO BE ABLE TO TALK
AND MAINTAIN ESSENTIAL LIFELINES
TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY. WITH THAT
RESPECTFULLY ASKED HER I VOTE.

EXTREME HEAT EMERGENCY. WHERE
PEOPLE ARE ACTUALLY LIVING. WE
HAVE A CRISIS IN THIS STATE THAT
AFFECTS THE CENTRAL VALLEY, THE
INLAND EMPIRE. LARGE STRETCHES
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALL THE WAY
TO THE TO THE FAR NORTH. WHEN
PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH EXTREME
HEAT EVENTS, AND IT'S OVER 100

WE WANT ELDERLY OR PEOPLE WITH

THEIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK.
THE VENT SER, OLD AND LEAKING,
AND YET THEY HAVE TO NOW GO OFF
TO A COOLING CENTER COUNTY
FAIRGROUNDS TO GET THAT KIND OF
RELIEF. WE THINK MORE THAT WORK
SHOULD BE DONE IN THE HOME. AND
SO THIS BILL PROPOSES A

BILL 12 65 BY SENATOR RUBIO AND
ACT RELATING TO PROTECTIVE
ORDERS, SENATOR RUBIO THE FLOOR
IS YOURS. THANK YOU. LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE TODAY I
RISE TO PRESENT SP 12 65, A BILL
THAT AIMS TO FURTHER PROTECT
CHILDREN AND VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC
ABUSE WHEN THERE ARE CLEAR SIGNS
THAT ESCALATING BEHAVIOR THIS
BILL WILL GIVE THE PARENT WITH A
PROTECTIVE ORDER. THE ABILITY TO
PASS GO BACK TO COURT AND ASSESS
THE DANGER TO HER OR HIMSELF AND
GET AN EXPERT TO REQUEST TO
MODIFY THE CUSTODY THROUGH AN
EXPEDITED PROCESS. TOO OFTEN
WHEN WE HAVE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND CHILD CUSTODY CASES
, THE INTERSECT AND USUALLY THE
ABUSIVE PARENT USES THEIR
CHILDREN AS WEAPONS. TO HURT THE
OTHER PARTNER AND IN MOST
DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES, THE
RESULT IS DEVASTATING. THOUSANDS
OF INNOCENT CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
MURDERED IN MY DISTRICT. A
MOTHER WHO WHOSE WORLD WAS
TRAGICALLY TURNED UPSIDE DOWN.
SPENT MANY MONTHS SEARCHING FOR
HER SON. ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT
HE. PERISH AT THE HANDS OF THE
ABUSIVE PARENT. WE ALSO HAVE
ANOTHER CASE THIS FEBRUARY. IN
THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO WORLD
FATHER WHO HAD AN ACTIVE
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, RESTRAINING
ORDER AGAINST HIM, WAS ALLOWED
TO SUPERVISED VISITATIONS AT A
CHURCH WITH THE CHAPERONE. AND
THE FATHER KILLED HIS THREE
LITTLE GIRLS ALONG WITH THE
CHAPERONE. HE HAD BEEN HELD IN A
51 50. HE ALSO HAD VIOLATED THE
RESTRAINING ORDER BY SHOWING UP
AT THE PARENTS' HOUSE THAT
PROTECTED PERSONS HOUSE. AND HE
HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR ASSAULTING
A POLICE OFFICER. THOSE WERE
CLEAR SIGNS OF ESCALATING
BEHAVIOR, AND THE MOTHER WAS
JUST DESPERATE FOR HELP. AND
DIDN'T HAVE ANY. ANYWHERE TO GO
TO CHANGE THAT POLICY. THE
CENTER FOR JUDICIAL EXCELLENT
REPORTED THAT SINCE 2000 AND
EIGHT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 100
AND 36 CHILDREN MURDERED BY AN
ABUSIVE PARENT GOING THROUGH
DIVORCE. OR SEPARATION
PROCEEDINGS. THAT'S 836 CHILDREN
THAT WE COULD HAVE SAVED. AGAIN
THIS BILL JUST AIMS AT GIVING
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WHO
HAVE CHILDREN, ANOTHER TOOL TO
PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN. SB 12 65
PUTS THE FOCUS ON THE PROTECTION
OF THE CHILDREN WHEN VIOLENCE IS
ESCALATING, AND PARENTS HAVE NO
OPTION OTHER THAN DELIVERING
THEIR CHILDREN. TO SOMEONE THEY
KNOW COULD BE A DANGER TO THEIR
CHILDREN. I THANK YOU FOR
CONSIDERING AND RESPECTFULLY ASK

SENATOR STERN. HE IS PREPARED.
PLEASE READ SENATE BILL 14 86 BY
SENATOR STERN AND ACT RELATING
TO ENERGY. SENATOR STERN, THE
FORAGERS. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. MEMBERS I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 14 86. THIS BILL WAS
A BILL TO CLOSELY SO CANYON.
WHICH POISON ABOUT 10,000 PEOPLE
IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY. AND
BEEN AN ONGOING PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS. LARGE GAS FIELD BUILT ON
A FAULT LINE. BEHIND ABOUT A
MILLION PEOPLE'S HOMES. THE BILL
WAS ALSO BUILT TO PROTECT THE
WORKERS AT THAT FACILITY AND
THROUGHOUT THE GAS SYSTEM. TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAD PROPER
PROTECTIONS IN PLACE. AS WELL AS
THE FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES WHO
HAVE TO PAY THE RATES WHEN THE
GAS COMPANY DOESN'T MAINTAIN
SAFETY AROUND THEIR SYSTEM. BUT
NOW THE BILL NO LONGER DOES
THOSE THINGS. THE BILL NOW.
ALLOWS ALISO CANYON STAY OPEN
UNTIL 2045. LONGER THAN THE TWO
TIMELINES POSED BY THIS
ADMINISTRATION THROUGH THE
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
PROCESS. THE BILL ELIMINATES THE
PROTECTIONS FOR WORKERS. THE
BILL ELIMINATES A PLAN TO WORK
ON A CLEAN ENERGY AND GAS DEMAND
RESPONSE PLAN. AND INSTEAD OF
PROMOTING A DIVERSE ARRAY OF
CLEAN ENERGY IN LOS ANGELES, IT
EXCLUSIVELY FOCUSES ON A
HYDROGEN STUDY. SO. TO UPDATE
YOU ON THE FLOOR FILE. EVERYONE
YOU SEE IN THE SUPPORT COLUMN IS
NOW OPPOSED. AND THOSE IN
OPPOSITION OR NOW EITHER
SUPPORTIVE OR NEUTRAL ON THE
MEASURE. SO I AM IN A AWKWARD
POSITION. OF OPPOSING MY OWN
LEGISLATION. I THINK IT'S AN
IMPORTANT CONVERSATION TO
ELEVATE BEFORE THE BODY. UM SO
I'M GOING TO PRESENT THE BILL
ANYWAYS. AND I WOULD I WOULD
ENCOURAGE ALL THE VOTE. HOWEVER
YOU SEE FIT, BUT THE WAY I SEE
THIS LEGISLATION NOW IS
ESSENTIALLY A CHOICE. ABOUT THE
FUTURE OF ENERGY IN LOS ANGELES
AND, FRANKLY IN CALIFORNIA. AND
I THINK THAT THIS MEASURE. SAYS
THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE UNTIL 2045
AND THEN, IN THE MEANTIME, THE
ONLY PLACE WE SHOULD PUT OUR.
OUR FOCUS AND OUR HOPE IS ON A
ON HYDROGEN. WHICH IS STILL
UNTESTED. AND IN MANY CASES NOT
APPROPRIATE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S FUELED BY
THE GAS SYSTEM. OIL REFINERIES.
AND THE OTHER SOURCE OF
HYDRATION THAT CURRENTLY FUEL
OUR SYSTEM. SO I CAN'T IN GOOD
CONSCIENCE GO HOME. AND JUST PUT
SACK THIS BILL AWAY AND MAKE IT
HIDE BECAUSE I THINK IT NEEDS TO
BE SAID. THAT I GET IT. THE GAS
INDUSTRY IS VERY POWERFUL. AND
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO DOUBLE
DOWN ON A NATURAL GAS FUTURE. WE
TALKED A LOT ABOUT OIL AND SOME
OF THESE DEBATES WE'VE BEEN
HAVING OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS.
AND YES, THERE IS A THERE IS A
BATTLE BETWEEN THE OIL INDUSTRY
AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES. BUT THE SAME IS
TRUE IN GAS. AND FOR ANYONE WHO
LIVES NEAR A PEAKER PLANT. IF
YOU LIVE IN PUENTE OR OXNARD'S
OR OUT BY THE VALLEY GENERATING
STATION OR DOWN IN THE SOUTH BAY
IF YOU LIVE IN THE SHADOWS OF A
POWER PLANT. OR GAS FIELD, YOU
KNOW. THAT IT'S NOT A 2045
QUESTION. IT'S A YESTERDAY
QUESTION. I THINK THERE'S A
BETTER WAY. WHEN WE CLOSED ALISO
CANYON. WE HAD FUNCTIONAL POWER
IN LOS ANGELES FOR YEARS. WE
REPLACED IT WITH OVER A GIGAWATT
OF ENERGY STORAGE WITH WHICH SO
CAL EDISON BROUGHT ONLINE. TWO
TREMENDOUS SUCCESS THAT STILL
PROVIDING RESILIENCE. AND RIGHT
NOW THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO DECIDE FROM A
RELIABILITY PERSPECTIVE IN
CALIFORNIA. ARE WE GOING TO
DOUBLE DOWN ON THE GAS SYSTEM?
OR WE CAN EMBRACE THE FUTURE.
THAT'S ABOUT ALYSSA, BUT IT'S
BIGGER THAN ALICIA. ARE WE GOING
TO SAY WE NEED TO COPY THE TEXAS
MODEL IS A ONLY THROUGH THOSE
GIANT FOSSIL FUEL POWER PLANTS.
ARE WE GOING TO BE SAFE? OR DO
WE REALIZE ON EXTREME HEAT DAYS?
THOSE ARE ACTUALLY THE MOST
VULNERABLE ASSETS. AND WE
ACTUALLY SHOULD BE BUILDING
FASTER TRANSMISSION ENERGY
STORAGE. UTILIZING THE POWER OF
OFFSHORE WIND. BRINGING BRINGING
NEW ASSETS ONLINE THAT ARE READY
TO GO. SO I IT'S A. I'VE NEVER
VOTED AGAINST MY OWN BILL
BEFORE, BUT I'M GOING TO TODAY.
UM, I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO. I
WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO. BUT, UM
THERE IS A POWER SHIFT THAT
NEEDS TO HAPPEN IN SACRAMENTO
AND ALL OVER THE STATE. AND
THAT'S WHY I'M GONNA STAND IN
OPPOSITION HERE TODAY. SIDE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST FOR NOVA.
THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
ON THIS ITEM? SENATOR DOLLY.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS I RISE. I SAW THIS BILL
IN E QUÊ. AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A LOT OF DEBATES ON THIS FLOOR
ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURE IS OF
CALIFORNIA'S ELECTRIC GRID.
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT FOR A
SECOND. WE'RE GONNA SHUT DOWN.
DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER
PLANTS. 6% OF CALIFORNIA'S
ELECTRICITY. ALISO CANYON. WE
HAD A LEAK THERE. WE NEED TO FIX
THE LEAK. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT'S
AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM.
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE'S LIVES
AFFECTED TO IT, BUT WE ALSO NEED
THAT GAS STORAGE FACILITY. WHEN
IT'S 100 DEGREES, AND YOU HAVE
TO HAVE A PEAKER PLANT BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE THE TRANSMISSION
TO GET THE SOLAR FROM CURRAN
COUNTY TO LOS ANGELES, WHERE
THERE'S 10 MILLION PEOPLE
BECAUSE THOSE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN
BLOCKED BY SOCIAL JUSTICE,
ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITIES. NO
DIFFERENT THAN. THE CHAIRS BILL
THAT IS TRYING TO DO BIOMASS. SO
WE CAN TAKE THE TREES OUT OF THE
VALLEY AND ACTUALLY, INSTEAD OF
OPEN, BURN THEM, PUT THEM IN A
FACILITY AND MAKE GREEN
ELECTRICITY. WE DON'T COUNT
LARGE HYDRO IN CALIFORNIA AS
GREEN 30 MEGAWATTS AND DOWN. OUR
GREEN 30. MEGAWATTS IN UP ARE
NOT GREEN. EXPLAIN THAT ONE TO
ME. IT'S B S IF WE REALLY WANT
TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THE FUTURES
OF CALIFORNIA'S ELECTRICITY,
LET'S TALK ABOUT IT. BUT WE KEEP
TALKING ABOUT ENDING. ONE STYLE
OF ENERGY LIKE GAS. OR HOT OR
NUCLEAR. WE HAVE TO HAVE A
DIVERSE PORTFOLIO TO MAKE SURE
THAT CALIFORNIA NEEDS ARE MET.
IT'S THE SAME THING WE SAW IN
THE ALL THESE DEBATES ABOUT WHAT
THE FUTURE IS OF CALIFORNIA'S
CLIMATE GOALS. WE'VE SEEN FOUR
BILLS COME THROUGH HERE TALKING
ABOUT CEMENT PRODUCTION. BECAUSE
WE NEED TO SEND IN CALIFORNIA.
NO TIME SOONER. WE'RE NOT GOING
TO USE ALL THESE COMMODITIES
OIL. FOR EXAMPLE. SO WHY DON'T
WE LAY OUT A REAL STRATEGY? A
REAL PLAN THAT ALLOWS US TO GET
WHERE WE WANT TO GO. WHERE DO WE
WANT TO GO? WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE
PEOPLE DRIVING ELECTRIC CARS,
NOT COMBUSTIBLE CARS, BUT WE
HAVE ELECTRICITY GRID THAT'S
ANTIQUATED AND CAN'T PROVIDE THE
ENERGY FOR ELECTRIC CARS, BUT WE
KEEP MARCHING DOWN THAT ROAD. AT
THIS ALL THE EXPENSE. OF OUR
CONSTITUENTS WHO PAY THE HIGHEST
RATES FOR GASOLINE AND THE
HIGHEST RATES FOR ELECTRICITY.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE KEEP THROWING
MONEY AT IT. WE KEEP FORCING
PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR WAY OF
LIVING. TO COME TO AN HOUR AND
AN OUTCOME THAT IS NOT GETTING
THERE IS DRIVING PEOPLE OUT OF
CALIFORNIA. AND IT'S DRIVING
PEOPLE'S START LIFESTYLES. TO
THE BRINK OF WHERE THEY CAN'T
EVEN AFFORD TO PUT GASOLINE IN
THEIR OWN CAR OR COOL THEIR
HOUSE BECAUSE ELECTRICITY RATES
ARE TÔI. AND IT'S REALLY
AFFECTING THOSE FOLKS ARE ON
FIXED INCOMES AND HOURLY WAGE
EARNERS WHO ARE THE POOREST IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. SO THIS
BILL AND ALL THESE OTHER BILLS,
WE NEED TO HAVE A REAL PLAN THAT
MOVES FORWARD A PLAN. THAT
ACTUALLY USES ALL THESE AND
MOVES US TOWARDS A CARBON FREE
ENVIRONMENT. YOU CAN'T DO IT
OVERNIGHT AND YOU CAN'T DO IT BY
SETTING A GOAL AND THEN SHOVING
EVERYBODY IN THE BOX. YOU DO IT
BY A PLAN. IT'S NO DIFFERENT
THAN OUR WATER STORAGE. YOU
CAN'T JUST CONSERVE YOUR WAY OUT
OF IT. AT SOME POINT, YOU NEED
MORE WATER. COMMON SENSE
APPROACHES TO GETTING CALIFORNIA
WHERE WE WANT TO GO INSTEAD OF
JUST PUSHING IT, TOO. OTHER
STATES AND OTHER NATIONS. SO I
DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE EVEN HAVING
THIS BILL UP IF YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO SUPPORT IT, BUT THERE NEEDS
TO BE A CONVERSATION ABOUT ALL
THOSE ISSUES. I JUST BROUGHT UP
AND WE TALKED ABOUT HIM IN
COMMITTEE. BUT WE DON'T SEEM TO
GET THE LEGISLATION TO GO
THROUGH OR THE ADMINISTRATION.
TO MOVE IN A PROACTIVE WAY TO
MAKE CALIFORNIA THE GOLDEN STATE
ONCE AGAIN, SO I WILL BE HAPPY
TO KILL THIS BILL WITH YOU AND
START OVER. SENATOR LEYVA. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I JUST
QUICKLY WANT TO SAY THAT I WILL
SUPPORT MY COLLEAGUE IF I
AUTHORED A BILL AND SOMETHING
HAPPENED TO IT, AND I HAD TO
VOTE AGAINST IT. UM, THE LEAST I
CAN DO IS SUPPORT YOU AND VOTE.
NO. IS THERE ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE
ITEM? ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE SCENE AND SENATOR STERN,
YOU MAY CONCLUDE. AND WE HAVE A
LOT OF WORK BEFORE THIS BODY, SO
I DID NOT INTEND THIS
PRESENTATION. BE FLIP. OR
WASTING ANYBODY'S TIME. BUT IF
YOU DO BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO
RELY ON A GAS SYSTEM. FOR THE
NEXT SEVERAL DECADES AND DOUBLE
DOWN THIS YEAR. YOU SHOULD BE
VOTING I ON THIS MEASURE. JUST
TO BE CLEAR. AND IF YOU BELIEVE
THAT WE CAN FIND A BETTER WAY,
AND THAT HAS TO START RIGHT NOW.
YOU SHOULD BE VOTING NO ON THIS
MEASURE. SO THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
BUT I DO APPRECIATE TAKING A
MOMENT TO THINK THESE THINGS

36 SENATOR CABALLERO, MADAM
SECRETARY, PLEASE READ SENATE
BILL 11 09 BY SENATOR CABALLERO
AND ACT RELATING TO ENERGY.
SENATE-TV ERO. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I AM PLEASED TO
PRESENT SB 11 OH, NINE, WHICH
WILL EXPAND CALIFORNIA'S
EXISTING BIO RAM PROGRAM BY
INCREASING THE SCALE OF THE
REMOVAL OF FOREST WASTE FROM
CALIFORNIA'S BURNED AREAS. AND
ECOLOGICALLY STRESSED FOREST AND
IT WOULD ALLOW AGRICULTURAL
WASTE THAT IS CURRENTLY DISPOSED
OF BY OPEN AIR BURNING TO BE
PROCESSED AT A BENEFICIAL REUSE
FACILITY. THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED
100 MILLION B. D. T S, WHICH IS
BONE DRY TONS OF FIRE KILLED
FOREST WOOD WASTE IN CALIFORNIA.
LEAVING EXCESS FOREST WASTE AND
OVERGROWTH MATERIAL IN THE
STATES. ECOLOGICALLY STRESSED
FOREST LEAVES THE FOUR FLORIST
AT HIGH RISK OF MASSIVELY
DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRES IMPEDES
THE FUNCTION OF WATERSHEDS
DIMINISHES WILDLIFE HABITAT AND
HAS OTHER NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON
THE ENVIRONMENT. AND IF YOU'VE
EVER DRIVEN UP THROUGH THIS YEAR
AS RIGHT NOW WHERE IT'S BEEN
FIRE DAMAGED, YOU UNDERSTAND THE
IMPACT OF THAT DEVASTATION ON
THE AREA AND HOW IT IT WILL
TAKE. A REALLY LONG TIME FOR IT
TO COME BACK TO ITS ORIGINAL
FORM. AND ONE OF THE STEPS IS
THAT WE REMOVE THAT THAT
DEADWOOD AND THAT WE, UM WE
DISPOSE OF IT. BIOMASS IS A
PRACTICAL SOLUTION TO OUR DEAD
AND DYING TREE WASTE AND ALSO
OFFERS MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS. RENEWABLE BIOMASS
ENERGY PRODUCTION HELPS LOCAL
AIR DISTRICTS TO COMPLY WITH THE
FEDERAL AIR QUALITY STANDARDS BY
REDUCING ADMISSIONS OF CRITERIA
. POLLUTANTS BY PREVENTING OPEN
BURNING OF THE 1.5 MILLION TONS
OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY
RESIDUES EACH YEAR. BIOMASS
PLANTS CUT CRITERIA POLLUTANT
ADMISSIONS BY UP TO 98% COMPARED
WITH OPEN BURNING. SB 11. OH,
NINE WILL SIMPLY EXTEND THE BIO
RAM CONTRACTS. ADDITIONALLY THE
BILL REQUIRES ANY BIOMASS PLANT
WITH A NEW 10 YEAR CONTRACT TO
ADHERE TO HIGHER AIR QUALITY
REQUIREMENTS AS WELL. THESE
PLANTS WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE
BARK EVALUATION, WHICH IS BEST
AVAILABLE RETROFIT CONTROL
TECHNOLOGY. WITH THE LOCAL AIR
AIR QUALITY CONTROL DISTRICT TO
MEET THE EMISSIONS REDUCTION
REQUIREMENTS DEEMED RELEVANT AND
REASONABLE THAT SHOULD BE PUT
UPON THE BIOMASS FACILITY USING
NEW TECHNOLOGY. THANK YOU. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. MEMBERS ANY DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE, SENATOR NEWMAN. THANK
YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE. I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHORS
WILLINGNESS PRIOR DISCUSSION TO
CONSIDER MAKING ALLOWANCES FOR
PROBABLY ON UTILITIES FOR HOME.
EXTENDING SOME CONTRACTS WOULD
LEAVE THEM SADDLED WITH SOME
REALLY ADVERSE CONDITIONS. AND
WITH THAT IN MIND, I URGE AND I
VOTE. ANY OTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. SENATE-TV OR WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? YES THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. I APPRECIATE THOSE
COMMENTS BY MY COLLEAGUE AND I
WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT
THIS HAS TO DO WITH WASTE
DISPOSAL NUMBER ONE AND NUMBER
TWO. IT ALSO HAS TO DO WITH
ENERGY PRODUCTION DURING A TIME
WHEN THE GRID DESPERATELY NEEDS
ENERGY AND THREE IT'S A CLEANER
, MUCH CLEANER ALTERNATIVE TO
OPEN AIR BURNING OR LEAVING WOOD
PRODUCTS ON THE GROUND SO THAT
THEY COULD DECOMPOSE AND BECOME
CARBON. CONTRIBUTORS TO THE

THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I RISE
TO PRESENT 13 49 SP 13 49, WHICH
EXPANDS ELIGIBILITY OF THE
STATE'S NEW EMPLOYMENT TAX
CREDIT. TWO BUSINESSES WHO HAVE
RECEIVED THE FEDERAL WORK
OPPORTUNITY TAX CREDIT. IN 1994
, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
ESTABLISHED THE WORK OPPORTUNITY
TAX CREDIT. IT ALLOWS EMPLOYERS
TO CLAIM A FEDERAL TAX CREDIT IF
THEY HIRE AND INVEST IN
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE SEEKING
WORK THAT HAVE CONSISTENTLY
FACED BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT.
ELIGIBLE JOBSEEKERS INCLUDE
VETERANS WITH SERVICE CONNECTED
DISABILITIES, TEMPORARY
ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY FAMILY AND
FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS FORMERLY
INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS AND
INDIVIDUALS ON LONG TERM
UNEMPLOYMENT, JUST TO NAME A
FEW. EMPLOYERS OBTAINED
CERTIFICATION THROUGH THE
CALIFORNIA EMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE
INDIVIDUALS HIGHER MEET THE
QUALIFYING QUALIFICATIONS UNDER
THE WORK, OPPORTUNITY, TAX
CREDIT AND EMPLOYERS PROVIDE
THIS CERTIFICATION TO THE IRS
WHEN CLAIMING THE CREDIT DESPITE
RECOVERING UNEMPLOYMENT RATE,
MANY INDIVIDUALS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES STILL FACE BARRIERS
TO EMPLOYMENT AND STRUGGLE TO
FIND WORK. SP 13 49. WILL
INCENTIVIZE THE USE OF THE NEW
EMPLOYMENT TAX CREDIT BY
CREATING A SIMPLE EXPANSION OF
THE CURRENT STATE PROGRAM. THIS

AND GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS. SP 13
OWED FOR SEEKS TO INCREASE THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THE CDCR GIVES
TO PEOPLE UPON RELEASED FROM
STATE PRISON. ALSO KNOWN AS GATE
MONEY, AND THIS IS PURSUANT TO
AN APPROPRIATION BY THE
LEGISLATURE. THE CURRENT AMOUNT
OF GATE MONEY GIVEN IS $200, AN
AMOUNT THAT HAS REMAINED
UNADJUSTED FOR INFLATION SINCE
1973 DESPITE INFLATION AND
SOARING HOUSING PRICES. SO
HOUSING PRICES IN 1973 WERE
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER AND AT THE
TIME $200 COULD MORE THAN COVER
A MONTH'S RENT ON A TYPICAL TWO
BEDROOM APARTMENT. IN 20 TO 20
TO $200. BARELY COVERS ANYTHING
, LET ALONE BASIC NEEDS FOR
RELEASED PERSONS AND WOULD COVER
LESS THAN 15% OF ONE MONTH'S
RENT ON A TYPICAL STUDIO
APARTMENT, LET ALONE FOOD
HYGIENE TRANSPORTATION. AND
MORE. PROVIDING A NEWLY RELEASED
PERSON WITH A ONE TIME INCREASED
AMOUNT AND GET MONEY MAY ASSIST
THEM AND LOCATING A NEW JOB AS
WELL AS SOME OF THE POST RELEASE
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS. MANY
FORMERLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE
FACE SUCH AS TRANSPORTATION TO
AND FROM PAROLE CHECK INS. YOU
KNOW, I ALSO WANT TO MENTION
THAT THE FASTEST GROWING PRISON
POPULATION. UM OUR MOTHERS, AH,
AND UPON RELEASE HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO GET
BACK ON THEIR FEET TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING FOR
THEIR CHILDREN. AND IN TALKING
TO SO MANY PEOPLE ABOUT THIS
BILL. HEARD FROM FOLKS WHO SAID
A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA MONEY.
GATE MONEY WOULD ALLOW THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE A CAR
NOT JUST FOR TRANSPORTATION BUT
TO BE USED AS SHELTER SO THAT
THEY HAVE SOME PLACE TO LIVE
WHILE THEY'RE TRYING TO GET ON
THEIR FEET. PROVIDING GATE
MONEY. AMOUNTS THAT ARE MORE
REFLECTIVE OF TYPICAL EXPENSES
FOR CALIFORNIANS IN 2022 IS
CRITICAL FOR THE SUCCESS OF THIS
POLICY AND ALSO FOR A SUCCESSFUL
REHABILITATIVE PRISON SYSTEM,
HELPING TO FACILITATE A
SUCCESSFUL TRANSITION. TO LIFE
AFTER PRISON BUT ULTIMATELY
INCREASING PUBLIC SAFETY AND
DECREASING RECIDIVISM FOR THIS.

SENATOR DURAZO SHE IS PREPARED.
PLEASE READ SENATE BILL 13 OH,
NINE BY SENATOR DURAZO AND ACT
RELATING TO OUTDOOR ADVERTISING.
SENATOR DURAZO. THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU, MADAM.
PRESIDENT SENATE BILL 13. OH,
NINE WILL EXTEND THE ARENA
EXEMPTIONS IN THE ALL OUTDOOR
ADVERTISING ACT UNTIL 2028. FOUR
ARENAS CONSTRUCTED BEFORE
JANUARY, 2023. IN ORDER TO
PROVIDE A PATHWAY FOR STADIUMS
AND ARENAS TO PURSUE FLEXIBLE
REVENUE STREAMS AND NOT RELY ON
PUBLIC FUNDING. THERE WAS A
MAJOR HISTORIC SHIFT IN THE
FINANCING OF ARENAS AND STADIUMS
SEVERAL YEARS AGO. SERIES AND
COUNTIES DECIDED THAT PUBLIC%
DOLLARS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO
BUILD THESE STADIUMS, SO THEY
LOOKED FOR ALTERNATIVE FUNDING.
THE ARENA EXEMPTION WAS FIRST
ESTABLISHED BY THE LEGISLATURE
FEW YEARS AGO. TO HELP FUND THE
CONSTRUCTION AND THE OPERATIONS
OF THE STATE STADIUMS AND ARENAS
, WHICH ARE IMPORTANT ECONOMIC
AND CULTURAL REGIONAL CENTERS.
STADIUMS CREATE THOUSANDS OF
PERMANENT AND LOCAL CONSTRUCTION
JOBS AND GENERATE MILLIONS IN
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES. STADIUMS
HAVE ALSO PROVED TO BE VITAL
PARTNERS EVEN AS GAMES WERE
CANCELED DURING THE PANDEMIC.
MOST ARENAS BECAME DISTRIBUTION
CENTERS FOR THOSE IN NEED OF
FOOD AND PPE, AS WELL AS VOTING
CENTERS TO ENSURE VOTERS COULD
MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD. THE
OAKLAND COLISEUM SERVED AS A
MASS VACCINATION SITE AND
ADMINISTERED MORE THAN 500,000
SHOTS. GOD JUST STADIUM TESTED
MORE THAN ONE MILLION ANGELINOS
FOR CORONAVIRUS. BECAME ONE OF
THE LARGEST COVID 19 TESTING AND
VACCINATION SITES IN THE WORLD.
OVER THE YEARS, THE ARENA
EXEMPTION WAS CLARIFIED AND
EXTENDED TO GIVE TEAMS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE THIS
TYPE OF PROGRAMMING. THIS BILL
WILL MODIFY AN EXEMPTION THAT
THE LEGISLATURE APPROVED FOR
STADIUMS AND ARENAS CONSTRUCTED
AGAIN YET BEFORE JON YOUR 1ST
2023 THIS BILL WOULD ALSO REDUCE
THE LENGTH OF TIME FOR MARKETING
CONTRACT FROM ONE YEAR TO 30
DAYS, WHICH WILL MORE ACCURATELY
ACCURATELY REFLECT OUTDOOR
ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES. WE
HAVE SAFEGUARDS IN THE BILL TO
PREVENT THE LOSS OF FEDERAL
HIGHWAY DOLLARS AND ENSURE THAT
ANY FUTURE ARENA DISPLAYS DON'T-VIOLATE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW. IF
THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY
ADMINISTRATION, FOR EXAMPLE,
PROVIDES A NOTICE OF
NONCOMPLIANCE, THE SIGN MUST
COME DOWN. IN ADDITION, ALL
ARENA BILLBOARD DISPLAYS MUST BE
APPROVED BY THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THEY ARE IN WHICH
ARE THE SAME ENTITIES THAT
REVIEW AND APPROVE. NON ARENA
BILLBOARDS. OUR OFFICE ALSO
ACCEPTED POLICY COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS THAT WILL REQUIRE
CALTRANS REVIEW THE SIGNS TO
ENSURE COMPLIANCE BEFORE THE
SIGNS ARE PUT UP. ARENA
OPERATORS ARE NOT GRANTED AN
UNREGULATED PRIVILEGE THEY MUST
COMPLY WITH STATE, FEDERAL AND
LOCAL APPROVALS. WHILE OPPONENTS
ARGUE THAT THIS BILL PROVIDES A
FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE FOR SPORTS
ARENA BILLBOARDS. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT THERE
ARE OVER 8500 OUTDOOR BILLBOARDS
IN THE STATE. AND OF THOSE
NEARLY 500 OUR DIGITAL SIGNS.
THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NEW ARENA
BILLBOARDS AUTHORIZED BY THIS
LAW REPRESENTS LESS THAN 1% OF
ALL OUTDOOR BILLBOARDS
STATEWIDE. IN LESS THAN 5% OF
THE NEWER DIGITAL SIGNS. THE
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF BILLBOARDS PER
ARENA STADIUM IS TWO THIS
MASSIVE INDUSTRY WILL NOT BE
DISRUPTED. IN FACT, THE BILL WAS
AMENDED COMING OUT OF
APPROPRIATIONS TO LIMIT THE
APPLICATIONS OF THIS EXEMPTION
TO STADIUMS AND ARENAS
CONSTRUCTED BEFORE JANUARY,
2023. UM AND THE LATE IT ANY
EXPANSION OF THE PREMISES OF THE
ARENA. THIS EXEMPTION WILL ONLY
APPLIED TO A FEW HANDFUL OF
ARENAS AGAIN THAT MUST COMPLY
WITH ALL LOCAL STATE AND FEDERAL
RULES MEMBERS. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. SENATOR
BATES. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT MEMBERS, I MUST RISE
AND RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO SB
13. OH, NINE, AND CERTAINLY,
LIKE MANY OF YOU, I VOTED FOR
SOME PRIOR EXEMPTION BILLS.
HOWEVER, THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT.
THIS WILL SELECT THE ECONOMIC
WINNERS AND LOSERS BY
ELIMINATING THE REQUIREMENT THAT
ADVERTISE ADVERTISERS THAT USE
THE ARENA EXEMPTION MUST HAVE A
LONG TERM STADIUM CONTRACT WHEN
THE LEGISLATURE INITIALLY
ADOPTED THE ARENA EXEMPTION TO
THE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING ACT. IS
EXEMPTION WAS JUSTIFIED BY
REQUIRING ADVERTISERS TO HOLD
LONG TERM CONTRACTS OF AT LEAST
ONE YEAR'S DURATION TO ADVERTISE
INSIDE OF THE ARENA. THIS BILL
REDUCES THAT TO JUST 30 DAYS.
ANOTHER ALTHOUGH RECENT
AMENDMENTS ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUE OF POTENTIAL
VIOLATIONS OF FEDERAL LAW, THEY
DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS EXISTING
VIOLATIONS THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY NOTED
THAT THE EXISTING ARENA
EXCEPTION PUTS CALIFORNIA OUT OF
STEP WITH FEDERAL LAW. THE
FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION
HAS PROVEN PREVIOUSLY WARNED
THAT CALTRANS SHOULD DEVELOP
REGULATIONS PROCEDURES TO ENSURE
ENFORCEMENT OF THE FEDERAL STATE
AGREEMENT IN THE HIGHWAY
BEAUTIFICATION ACT ON SPORTS. A
AREA DISPLAYS NON COMPLIANCE
WITH THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY
BEAUTIFICATION ACT CAN CARRY A
PENALTY PROVISIONS OF 10% OF
CALIFORNIA'S FEDERAL HIGHWAY
FUNDS. CALTRANS ESTIMATES THAT
PENALTY WOULD MEAN A LOSS OF
$486 MILLION. THE BILL DOES NOT
GENERATE FUNDS FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. UNLIKE OTHER
EXEMPTION BILLS, THIS BILL DOES
NOT PROVIDE ANY DIRECT REVENUES
TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT. ALL PROFITS
GO DIRECTLY TO ARENA DEVELOPERS
LICENSED AT OUTDOOR ADVERTISERS
, OFTEN PARTNER WITH MUNICIPAL
GOVERNMENTS, CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES. FOR THE SHARED
REVENUE. THE BILL, WE'RE
REDUCING THE LIKELIHOOD OF THOSE
SHARED REVENUE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. AND FOR
THAT REASON, I ASKED
RESPECTFULLY FOR A NO VOTE ON SP
13. OH, NINE. THANK YOU. IS
THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION AND
DEBATE ON THIS ITEM? ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. SAYING,

AND DECLARING THE URGENCY
THEREOF TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY. SENATOR MCGUIRE THE
FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. THE WORLD IS WATCHING THE
ATROCITIES TAKING PLACE IN
UKRAINE, AND I THINK WE CAN ALL
SPEAK FOR OURSELVES. BUT I THINK
I WOULD BE SPEAKING FOR THIS
BODY TO SAY IT'S SICKENING AND
IT MAKES US ANGRY AND OUTRAGED.-AND WE HAVE TO STAND STRONG FOR
THE PEOPLE OF UKRAINE. THAT'S
WHY OVER HALF OF THE LEGISLATURE
HAS SIGNED ON TO SP 13 28. IT'S
A CRITICAL BILL REQUIRING PUBLIC
PENSION SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE
TWO LARGEST IN AMERICA STIRS AND
PRAYERS TO DIVEST FROM RUSSIAN
AND BELARUS AND ASSETS AND
COMPANIES. ESTIMATED TO BE TWO
BILLION IN THE CALIFORNIA
PORTFOLIO, BUT RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN I VOTE. OR ANY DISCUSSION
OR DEBATE ON THIS ITEM. ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. SENATOR
GATES GLACIER. GLASER THANK YOU
. THANK YOU, MADAM. CHAIR
MEMBERS TO THE I WOULD ASK A
QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR. IT'S
SIMILAR TO THE QUESTION THAT I
ASKED EARLIER. ON A BILL DEALING
WITH FOSSIL FUELS. IF YOU WOULD
, UM THROUGH THE CHAIR SEN.
SENATOR MCGUIRE WILL YOU ACCEPT
A QUESTION? THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. YES, MA'AM. RIGHT SO
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S
LANGUAGE IN THIS BILL THAT
DOESN'T TAKE AWAY THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FIDUCIARY.
A MEMBER OF THE PENSION BOARD TO
DECIDE. AN INVESTMENT DECISION
THAT THEY THINK IS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF THE RETIREES, WHICH
THAT PENSION BOARD IS ATTEMPTING
TO SUPPORT AND SO MY QUESTION IS
THAT NOW, RATHER THAN A
PROPONENT OF THE BILL ON THE
FLOOR. YOU'RE NOW A PENSION
BOARD MEMBER. UNDER THE TERMS OF
THIS BILL. IF THERE WAS A
DECISION TO DIVEST. FROM THE
ASSETS THAT YOUR BILL REFERS TO
WHAT WOULD BE A RESPONSIBILITY
AS A MEMBER OF THE PENSION
BOARD. PERSON FOREMOST THE STIRS
INCURS PENSION BOARD HAS ALREADY
BEEN LOOKING AT THEIR ASSETS,
AND THAT'S JUST BE CANDID, UH
STIRS AND PEARS ASSETS THAT THEY
HAVE UNDER THEIR PORTFOLIO ARE
WORTH PENNIES NOW BASED OFF OF
WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN THE WORLD'S
REACTION. SO IF I'M SPEAKING AS
A MEMBER OF THAT BOARD,
HYPOTHETICALLY, I WOULD SAY
IMMEDIATELY DIVEST AFTER THE
ATROCITIES THAT WE'VE SEEN, AND
WE HAVE TO STAND. WITH THE
PEOPLE OF UKRAINE, SO I FIRMLY
BELIEVE THAT THE SELECTION IS
ALREADY STARTED AT THE STORES IN
PERSON IN THIS BILL WAS ALSO
AMENDED IN THE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT JUST THOSE
DIRECT INVESTMENTS WITHIN
BELARUS AS WELL AS RUSSIA. ONE
FINAL QUESTION, THEN TO ASK THE
AUTHOR TO CLARIFY 111 MORE TIME
THAT YOU WOULD MAKE THAT
DECISION BECAUSE OF YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY AS A FIDUCIARY TO
GET THE BEST RATE OF RETURN FOR
YOUR, UH RETIREES ON THAT BOARD
IS THAT I THINK IT IS. THIS BILL
IS A WIN WIN. IF I TAKE A LOOK
AT WHAT THOSE ASSETS ARE WORTH
AT THIS TIME, WE'VE ALREADY
WRITTEN OFF ESSENTIALLY WHAT
THOSE ASSETS ORIGINALLY WORK.
BASED OFF OF THE WORLD'S
REACTION TO WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN
AND THEN NUMBER TWO. I THINK
THIS IS ANOTHER ONE. I'VE TAKEN
A STAND ON WHAT PUTIN HAS DONE
AND THE ATROCITIES THAT HE'S
ADVANCED. THANK YOU. AND ON MY
OWN TIME, I WAS JUST THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THE BILL
FORWARD. I THINK THAT HE HAS
MADE IT CLEAR THAT WHILE ON THIS
FLOOR, WE MAY HAVE A STRONG
VIEWPOINT. ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF REMOVING OUR ASSETS THAT AS A
MEMBER OF THE OF THE BOARD HAS A
FIDUCIARY THAT HE WOULD DO THE
EXAMINATION IN WHICH HE
DESCRIBED ON THE FLOOR TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE
ASSETS WERE GROWING ASSETS AND
BENEFIT IN TERMS OF A RATE OF
RETURN OR NOT, AND WITH THAT I
WOULD SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY.

WIENER. THE FLOOR IS YOURS. AYE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM
PRESIDENT, COLLEAGUES AND
PRESENTING SENATE BILL 13 36 TO
PROVIDE TARGETED TAX RELIEF TO
HIGH ROAD COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
EMPLOYERS. SP 13 36 ESTABLISHES
A CARRY FORWARD CANNABIS TAX
CREDIT, UM, WHICH IS CALCULATED
AT 25% OF THE FOLLOWING
QUALIFIED BUSINESS EXPENDITURES
PAID OR INCURRED IN A TAXABLE
YEAR. THOSE QUALIFIED
EXPENDITURES ARE EMPLOYMENT
COMPENSATION THAT'S EQUAL TO OR
ABOVE 150% OF THE MINIMUM WAGE.
UM, SAFETY RELATED EQUIPMENT AND
SERVICES. AND WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT AND SAFETY TRAINING
FOR EMPLOYEES WHERE THE CREDIT
EXCEEDS NOT TAX CODE. IT CAN BE
CARRIED OVER. UM AND IT CANNOT
EXCEED MORE THAN NOT CANNOT
EXCEED $250,000 PER YEAR. UM
MOREOVER, EMPLOYERS WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO DOUBLE DIP. IF THERE'S
AN EXISTING DEDUCTION. THEY HAVE
TO CHOOSE EITHER THE DEDUCTION
OR THE CREDIT COLLEAGUES AS WE
KNOW, AND WE'VE HEARD ON THE
FLOOR THIS WEEK. THE LEGAL
CANNABIS INDUSTRY IS STRUGGLING
IN CALIFORNIA DUE TO HIGH TAXES
. UM SOME EXTREME LAND USE
REGULATIONS AND OTHER BARRIERS
OR CHALLENGES. THAT HAVE ALLOWED
THE ILLICIT MARKET, UH, TO
THRIVE. AND SO THIS TAX RELIEF
IS LONG OVERDUE. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THIS ITEM? ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE? SENATOR
GLASER. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT, CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I
HAVE AVOIDED TALKING ABOUT ANY
OF THESE CANNABIS PILLS THAT
WE'VE HEARD TODAY AND THROUGHOUT
THE WEEK AND THE CHALLENGE FOR
ME IN THIS SPACE IS THAT IT IS
NOT THAT THERE'S NO
ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT THE
MARKETPLACE HAS BROKEN. AND THAT
THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES AS TO
WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN FULFILL,
UH, THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
BALLOT MEASURE THAT HAS
LEGALIZED CANNABIS. THE ISSUE
FOR ME IS DO WE HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IN WHICH TO
DO IT? AND WE HAVE SEEN OVER THE
COURSE OF THIS WEEK BILL THAT
TOUCHES UH, PRODUCER TAXATION
HERE. CONSUMER TAXATION THERE.
CREDITS AS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED IN
THIS BILL. WE HAVE HAD LICENSING
PROBLEMS. WE'VE HAD ENFORCEMENT
PROBLEMS AND WHAT WE'RE LACKING
IN OUR ABILITY TO MAKE JUDGMENTS
IN EACH OF THESE SILOS IS A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. TO THAT
TRIES TO RIGHT SIDE. THIS
MARKETPLACE THAT CLEARLY ISN'T
WORKING AND SO ON THIS BILL AND
OTHERS UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE
CHOSEN TO JUST STAY OFF BECAUSE
I THINK I THINK A COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN IS THE SMARTER WAY TO GO.
AND I WOULD HOPE THAT WHETHER
THESE BILLS MOVE FORWARD AND
THEY DON'T AND I ASSUME THIS ONE
WILL THAT WE WOULD LOOK TO OUR
LEADERS, OUR STATE LEADERS,
CERTAINLY THE GOVERNOR TO TRY TO
BRING ALL THESE ISSUES TOGETHER
SO THAT THERE IS A COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN. THAT CAN ALLOW US TO
SUPPORT POTENTIALLY MEASURES
LIKE THIS AND OTHERS THAT GIVE
US THE CONFIDENCE THAT WE HAVE
TAKEN THE ACTIONS NECESSARY TO
RIGHT SIZE THIS MARKETPLACE AND
WITH THAT ARGUMENT LAY OFF ON
THE BILL TODAY. IS THERE ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE?
SAYING NAN SENATOR WIENER YOU
MAY CONCLUDE. UH THANK THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MADAM PRESIDENT. I
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUE FROM ORINDA. I TOO
WOULD LOVE A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
I WOULD SAY THAT FOR A LOT OF
DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT WE HAVE
VARIOUS PIECES OF LEGISLATION
THAT EITHER COME TOGETHER AS A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, OR SOMETIMES
IT GETS HANDLED IN THE BUDGET
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IS NOT
ALWAYS PERFECT FOR ADDRESSING
ISSUES COMPREHENSIVELY. I WILL
SAY THAT THE GOVERNOR AND HIS
MAY REVISE DID ISSUE A TAX
REALLY PLAN, LARGELY REFLECTING
A BILL INTRODUCED BY THE SENATOR
FROM FROM HEALDSBURG. UM I
PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT BELIEVE
THAT THE GOVERNOR'S PLAN WHILE
PROVIDING IMPORTANT RELIEF FOR
CULTIVATORS, IN MY VIEW, THERE'S
NOTHING FOR RETAILERS. AND SO MY
HOPE IS THAT THIS ALL GETS
SOLVED IN THE BUDGET. I WOULD
LOVE FOR THIS BILL TO BE ABLE TO
EVAPORATE BECAUSE IT GETS
ADDRESSED IN THE BUDGET RIGHT
NOW THAT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED
BUDGET DOES NOT HELP RETAILERS
IT ONLY HELPED PROVIDES
IMPORTANT RELIEF THAT I SUPPORT
FOR CULTIVATORS. OUR HOPE IS
THAT WE CAN WORK THAT THROUGH
AND THAT THIS BILL WILL BECOME
MOOT AT SOME POINT AND IT WILL
BE HANDLED COMPREHENSIVELY. SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.

13 39 ADDRESSES THE FACT THAT,
UM, WE HAVE BY 2030 REQUIREMENT
THAT HOSPITALS REMAIN
OPERATIONAL FOLLOWING A MAJOR
EARTHQUAKE AND DURING COVID, OF
COURSE, WE'VE SEEN HOW FULLER
HOSPITAL HAS HOSPITALS HAVE
GOTTEN AND HOW IMPORTANT IS
THAT? WE MAINTAIN HOSPITAL
CAPACITY. FACT, ACCORDING TO THE
MOST RECENT DATA, THERE'S STILL
658 BUILDINGS SPREAD OUT ACROSS
251 LICENSE HOSPITALS THAT
EITHER NEED TO BE TAKEN OUT OF
ACUTE CARE SERVICE ARE VERY BE
REPLACED OR RETROFITTED IN ORDER
TO MEET THE 2030 REQUIREMENTS.
BUT THIS BILL SEEKS TO DO IS TO
GIVE THE LEGISLATURE MORE
INFORMATION SO WE CAN EVALUATE
WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BE SURE
WE CAN MEET THAT TARGET. SO THIS
IS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
I'M HOPING THE IT'S GOING TO
REQUIRE THAT WE GET COST
ESTIMATES ON HOW MUCH OF A COST
AND THEN THEREFORE, HOPEFULLY WE
CAN ENGAGE BEFORE THIS DEADLINE,
WHICH IS FAST APPROACHING. SO
WITH THAT RESPECT THE ASPIRIN I

PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL 13 85
BY SENATOR CORTESI ENACT
RELATING TO ELECTRICITY. SENATOR
COURTESY. THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU AGAIN, MADAM PRESIDENT
AND COLLEAGUES TODAY I'M HERE TO
PRESENT SP 13 85 A BILL THAT
WILL EXTEND SOLAR ACCESS TO LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE
BEEN LEFT OUT. OF THE SOLAR
REVOLUTION AND PUT MORE SOLAR
AND STORAGE ON THE GRID AT AN
ACCELERATED RATE. THROUGH
PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE CALIFORNIA
SOLAR INITIATIVE PROGRAM AND THE
NET ENERGY METERING PROGRAM. THE
ROOFTOP SOLAR MARKET HAS GROWN.
HOWEVER STRIKINGLY LOW
PERCENTAGE OF THESE FUNDS WERE
RESERVED FOR LOW INCOME TENANTS
IN MULTI FAMILY HOUSING. HAVE
BEEN GOOD EFFORTS IN THE PAST TO
REACH HIS POPULATION, SUCH AS A
MULTIFAMILY, AFFORDABLE SOLAR
HOUSING PROGRAM. OTHERWISE KNOWN
AS MASH AND THE SOLAR ON BOTH ON
MULTI FAMILY AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE SOMA
PROGRAM. YET THOSE AS THEY
CONTINUE WILL ONLY SCRATCH THE
SURFACE OF THE AMOUNT OF LOW
INCOME RATE PAIRS THAT COULD
BENEFIT FROM SOLAR AND REDUCE
ENERGY BILLS. WITH THE PRICES OF
ENERGY INCREASING AND CLIMATE
CHANGE IMPACTS BECOMING MORE AND
MORE DEVASTATING. THE STATE MUST
TAKE MULTIPLE APPROACHES TO
REDUCING ENERGY BILLS FOR LOW
INCOME RATE PAIRS AND GETTING
SOLAR AND STORAGE ON THE GRID.
AN ACCELERATED RATE. SB 13 85
WOULD ACHIEVE THIS GOAL BY
CREATING A PROGRAM THAT ASKED
THE INVESTOR OWNED UTILITIES TO
BUILD AND OPERATE SOLAR AND
STORAGE SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE LOW
INCOME HOUSEHOLDS WITH BILL
CREDITS. AND PROVIDE RESILIENCY
TO THE GRID WITHOUT SHIFTING
COSTS TO NON PARTICIPATING
CUSTOMERS. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE
THAT THIS PROGRAM WOULD NOT USE
REPAIR FUNDS. INVOLVED NO COST
SHIFT TO RATE PAIRS WHO ARE NOT
PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO EMPHASIZE THAT
THIS PROGRAM WOULD NOT USE THE
NAME PROGRAM. IS ALL SYSTEMS
UNDER THIS BILL WOULD OPERATE IN
FRONT OF THE METER. WE ALSO TOOK
AMENDMENTS IN ENERGY COMMITTEE
TO COMPLETELY CARVE OUT
PROPERTIES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR
THE SUMMER PROGRAM. AS WELL AS
ANY FUTURE EXPANSION OF THE
SUMMER PROGRAMS ELIGIBILITY. THE
OPPOSITION HAS CONTINUED TO
CLAIM THAT THIS WILL NEGATIVELY
IMPACT THE SUMMER PROGRAM AND
PROVIDE A SMALLER BENEFIT TO
TENANTS THAT ARE ROLLING THE
PROGRAM. BUT BOTH CLAIMS ARE
FALSE. THIS PROGRAM REACHES AN
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT POOL OF
PROPERTIES THAN THOSE ELIGIBLE
FOR SOMA. AND IT SERVES LOW
INCOME RATE PEERS. THAT WOULD
NEVER NEVER OTHERWISE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF THE
SUMMER PROGRAM. THANK YOU AND I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I
VOTE. THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THIS ITEM? ANY
DISCUSSION DEBATE? SENATOR
BAKER. THANK YOU. I WAS JUST
GOING TO SAY QUICKLY. THAT UM,
YOU KNOW THAT SOME STAKEHOLDERS
HAVE OPPOSED THIS BILL BECAUSE
THEY PREFER THE SUMMER PROGRAM.
UH AND SEE PROVIDING BIGGER
BENEFITS. UM BUT JUST WANT TO
REITERATE THAT PROGRAM IS NOT
AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE. THIS BILL
IS TARGETED ONLY AT LOW INCOME
CUSTOMERS WHO ARE NOT QUALIFIED
FOR SOMA ANYWAY. SO I SUPPORT
GIVING THEM A PATH TO
PARTICIPATE IN COMMUNITY SOLAR
AS WELL AND THEY'RE PROBABLY
SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY.
THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR

PLEASE READ SENATE BILL 13 93 BY
SENATOR ARCHULETTA AND ACT
RELATING TO ENERGY. SENATOR
ARCHIE LETTER. THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. TODAY I RISE TO
PRESENT SENATE PILL 13 93, WHICH
SEEKS TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES WITH
DECARBONIZATION, CALIFORNIA'S
EXISTING BUILDING BY REQUIRING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO CONSIDER
JUST CONSIDER CERTAIN FACTORS
FROM THE ENERGY COMMISSION
BEFORE APPROVING ORDINANCE IS
THAT WOULD REQUIRE GAS
APPLIANCES TO BE REPLACED WITH
ELECTRIC APPLIANCES. AGAIN THE
BILL SIMPLY REQUIRES LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO CONSIDER THE
GUIDANCE. IT DOES NOT MANDATE
SPECIFIC OUTCOMES OR REQUIRE THE
ORDINANCESTO CONTAIN CERTAIN
PROVISIONS. THE BILL WOULD
REQUIRE A LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
WITHIN 60 DAYS OF ADOPTING THE
ORDINANCE TO SUBMIT TO THE
COMMISSION. A COPY OF THE
ORDINANCE THAT WOULD THEN HAVE
THE COMMISSION TO DETERMINE
WHETHER THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT THE
CITY COUNCIL. I WOULD CONSIDER
THE COMMISSION'S GUIDANCE IF THE
COMMISSION DETERMINES THAT THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENT DID NOT
CONSIDER THE GUIDANCE. THE BILL
WOULD ALLOW THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS THE CITY COUNCILS TO
GO BACK AND CONSIDER THE
GUIDANCE MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS
IF NECESSARY. AND RESUBMIT. WHEN
IT COMES TO BUILDING
DECARBONIZATION, CALIFORNIA HAS
LARGELY FOCUSED ON NEW
CONSTRUCTION. IN FACT, OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL YEARS, MANY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS HAVE ADOPTED IN
WHAT ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
REACH CODES. WHICH ARE LOCAL
ENERGY ORDINANCES REQUIRING MORE
STRINGENT ENERGY REQUIREMENTS
THAN THOSE SET BY THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY CODE. THESE REACH CODES
WHICH ADDRESS NEW CONSTRUCTION
AND NEW CONSTRUCTION, ONLY. MUST
BE REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION.
HOWEVER THESE ARE UNIQUE
CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH
DECARBONIZATION EXISTING
BUILDINGS TO COMPARISON WITH NEW
BUILDINGS. AS LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS BEGAN ADOPTING
ORDINANCES TO ADDRESS EXISTING
BUILDINGS. CALIFORNIA LAW MUST
BE UPDATED TO ENSURE THAT THESE
ORDINANCES ARE ADOPTED WHILE
TAKING IMPORTANT FACTORS INTO
CONSIDERATION. I BELIEVE THAT BY
REQUIRING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CITY
COUNCILS TO CONSIDER STATE
GUIDANCE WE CAN ACHIEVE OUR
AMBITIOUS ENERGY GOALS. FOR
THESE REASONS. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR I VOTE. IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? SENATOR SKIN. STERN. I'M
SORRY, SENATOR STERN. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT. UM I APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF THE AUTHOR SINCE
ENERGY COMMITTEE ON THE BILL, I
DO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO MAINTAIN
MY OPPOSITION, THOUGH, IF WE
WERE WE'RE BEING EVEN AND FAIR
HERE. I THINK WOULD THEN BE A
REQUIREMENT THAT ANY TIME YOU
WANTED TO PUT A NEW GAS HOOK UP
AT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT WOULD ALSO
HAVE TO ASK A QUESTION OR GO
THROUGH A PROCESS OR ANY TIME
YOU WANT TO GET RID OF AN
ELECTRIC STOVE AND SWITCHED TO A
GAS STOVE. THERE'S NOTHING IN
THIS BILL THAT THAT PUTS THOSE
SAME CHECKS AND QUESTIONS ON THE
GAS INDUSTRY. AND YET THERE ARE
MANY RISKS TO BUILDING NEW GAS
LINES TO HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.
WHETHER IT'S IN THE BACK OF THE
FIELD, OR, UH, PIPELINE SYSTEMS
, RIGHT UNDER YOUR HOUSE, OR
EVEN TRENCHING A NEW PIPELINE TO
LIKE THEY DID AT THE VILLA ON
THE WEST SIDE. THEY DIDN'T ASK
ANY QUESTIONS WHETHER IT MADE
SENSE TO BUILD A $20 MILLION
PIPELINE. THEY JUST BUILT IT. SO
IF WE'RE NOT GOING TO ASK THAT A
GAS INDUSTRY I DON'T THINK WE
SHOULD ASK THAT OF
ELECTRIFICATION, AND FOR THAT
REASON I'LL BE OPPOSED. IS THERE
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE? FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. SEEING NONE. SENATOR
ARCHULETTA, YOU MAY CONCLUDE.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT ONCE
AGAIN. THE IDEA IS TO PROTECT
THE LITTLE GUY IF, IN FACT A
SQUARE BLOCK IS DECIDED BY A
CITY COUNCIL THAT EVERYONE IN
THAT SQUARE BLOCK SHOULD CHANGE
FROM, UH, GAS TO ELECTRIC. THE
CITY COUNCIL THEN WOULD HAVE TO
GO TO THE COMMISSION FOR
GUIDANCE. THAT'S ALL IT IS. AND
AGAIN IT'S THE SMALLER
COMMUNITIES THE AND HIS AND
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES
THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED. SO WITH

THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MADAM PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS. I'M PRESENTING SB 14 16
TODAY THERE WAS ONE OF PART OF
MY BILL MENTAL HEALTH PACKAGE. I
HAVE NOT BEEN PRESENTING A LOT
OF THEM BECAUSE MANY OF THEM ARE
ON CONSENT. BUT I THOUGHT I'D
TAKE A COUPLE OF SECONDS WITH
THIS ONE. THIS IS A BILL THAT
WILL ALLOW FOR THE EXISTING LPS
PROCESS. AND PROTECTIONS TO BE
USED IF SOMEBODY'S MENTAL HEALTH
CONDITION PRESENTS THEM FOR
BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR
OWN MEDICAL CARE, SO THIS IS A
SLIGHT EXPANSION. THAT SAYS, IF
YOU CANNOT PROVIDE FOR YOUR OWN
MEDICAL CARE THAT THAT WOULD BE
A REASON TO HOLD YOU. WE KNOW
THAT VOLUNTARY CARE IS THE VERY
BEST. WE KNOW THAT MORE SERVICES
AND MORE HELP IS NEEDED. WE ARE
WORKING ON PROVIDING THOSE I
HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A PACKAGE
OF BILL. THAT IS IMPROVING OUR
MHS A PROGRAM IMPROVING OUR DATA
SERVICES, IMPROVING THE
BOTTLENECKS IN OUR SYSTEM, UH,
PREVENTING UNNECESSARY
CONSERVATORSHIPS. AND PROPOSING
REGIONAL BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
PLANNING. UM SO I THINK IT'S
SAFE TO SAY WE'RE ALL REALIZED.
WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF A CRISIS.
WE ARE DOING A LOT ON THIS FLOOR
ON MENTAL HEALTH. THIS IS ONE
MORE PIECE THAT TIGHTENS UP WHAT
WE ALREADY HAVE IN A WAY. THAT
DOESN'T LEAVE GAPING HOLES IN
OUR SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOWS
PEOPLE TO COME CRASHING TO THE
GROUND AND CONTINUING TO CYCLE
THROUGH THE PROGRAM. LET'S HELP
THOSE THAT ARE DECONSTRUCT
DECOMPENSATING TO THE POINT
WHERE THEY ARE BEING PULLED OUT
OF RIVERS AND WALKING INTO THE

YOUR VOTE. OR ANY DISCUSSION OR

THANK YOU TO THE GOOD SENATOR
FROM AFRICA. STOPPED AND THIS IS
AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BILL FOR
SOCIAL WORKERS WHO ARE OUT IN
THE FIELD AND SEEING SOME OF THE
DEGRADATION OF INDIVIDUALS. THEY
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. AND I THINK
HAVING THIS VERY TYPES, BUT VERY
SIGNIFICANT DEFINITION OF
GRAVELY DISABLED WILL HELP OUR
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS.
DO THE JOB THAT THEY WANT TO DO
NEED TO DO, AND WE WOULD ALL
LIKE TO SEE BECAUSE WATCHING
HUMAN DEGRADATION ON THE STREETS

OF THIS COUNTRY HOUSE TO SO
MANY. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER

SENATOR GROVE THE FLOOR IS YOURS
. THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS. I'M HONORED AND EXCITED
TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY. SP 11
11 83, WHICH ESTABLISHES THE
IMAGINATION LIBRARY OF
CALIFORNIA. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE DOLLYWOOD FOUNDATION AND
DOLLY PARDONS IMAGINATION
LIBRARY BUT ALSO LIKE TO THANK
THE SENATE PRO TEM, WHO IS A BIG
LIFELONG DOLLY PARTON FAN. FOR
HER SUPPORT ON THIS BILL AND
BEING A PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR. THE
IMAGINATION LIBRARY OF
CALIFORNIA IS A COMPREHENSIVE
STATEWIDE INITIATIVE TO HELP OUR
YOUNGEST LEARNERS FOSTER A LOVE
FOR READING. SINCE $1995.
PARTON'S IMAGINATION LIBRARY HAS
DELIVERED MORE THAN 100 AND 82
MILLION AGE, APPROPRIATE BOOKS
TOCHILDREN IN MORE THAN 12,000
LOCAL COMMUNITIES. IN FIVE
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WORLDWIDE IN
THE UNITED STATES, THE
IMAGINATION LIBRARY HAS
SUCCESSFULLY PARTNERED WITH 12
OTHER STATES, THOUSANDS OF
COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITY BASED
NONPROFITS TO GIFT PRESCHOOL
AGED CHILDREN. WITH MONTHLY FREE
BOOKS DELIVERED TO THEIR HOME
THROUGH THE MAIL AT NO COST TO
THE FAMILIES. RECEIVING THESE
BOOKS IN THE MAIL IS ITS OWN
SPECIAL OCCASION WITH EVERY BOOK
ARRIVING WITH THE CHILD'S NAME
PRINTED ON THE LABEL AND A
PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM DOLLY
PARTON AND SHARING THE MESSAGE
OF READING. BOOKS BECOME MORE
SPECIFIC WITH READING TIPS AND
SUGGESTIONS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS
TO HELP PROMOTE BONDING AND
READING WITHIN THE FAMILY.
COLLEAGUES IT'S WIDELY
UNDERSTOOD THAT THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF BRAIN
GROWTH OCCURS IN THE FIRST FIVE
YEARS YEARS OF A CHILD'S AGE,
AND THAT MOST. AND BY AGE THREE,
THE MOST BRAIN STRUCTURE IS
FORMED. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT
YOUNG CHILDREN WHO EXPOSED TO A
VARIETY OF LYNDON LINGUISTIC AND
LITERACY EXPERIENCES DO BETTER
IN SCHOOL. WE CANNOT WAIT TILL
KINDERGARTENFOR OUR CHILDREN TO
HAVE ACCESS TO EXPOSURE TO
BOOKS. WE MUST START EARLY
READING THAT HOME REQUIRES
BOOKS. CURRENTLY SELECT
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES HAVE
WORKED INDIVIDUALLY TO BRING
THEIR PARTNERS AND NONPROFITS TO
ESTABLISH LOCAL IMAGINATION
LIBRARY PROGRAMS. WILD THERE ARE
SEVERAL LOCAL GROUPS ESTABLISHED
LESS THAN 1% OF CALIFORNIA'S
CHILDREN'S IN EARLY CHILDREN IN
EARLY READERS ARE ABLE TO ENROLL
IN THIS IN THIS PROCESS,
ESPECIALLY THOSE CHILDREN IN
LARGE URBAN AREAS AND RURAL
COMMUNITIES THAT LACK RESOURCES
TO ESTABLISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT
PROGRAMS. SB 11 83 WITH OFFER
EVERY EARLY READER IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA ACCESS TO DOLLY
PARTON IMAGINATION LIBRARY BY
ESTABLISHING A STATEWIDE
PROGRAM. THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY
OF CALIFORNIA WOULD BE UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE STATE
LIBRARIAN AND IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE DOLLYWOOD FOUNDATION.
TO GROW COUNTY BASED PROGRAMS
THAT COST ACROSS CALIFORNIA THAT
IT SO THAT EVERY CALIFORNIA
CHILD CAN SIGN UP TO RECEIVE
THIS MONTHLY GIFT. DOLLY PARTON.
IMAGINATION LIBRARY OFFERS
FAMILY AS FAMILIES ARE
SUPPORTIVE AND MEANINGFUL
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE TO PROVIDE
MORE BOOKS TO MORE CHILDREN AT
NO COST TO FAMILIES, REGARDLESS.
OF WHERE THEY LIVE, OR
REGARDLESS OF THE FAMILY'S
INCOME. SIMPLY GETTING BOOKS
INTO THE HELM OF THE OF THESE
HOMES CHANGES THE CORRECT
DIRECTORY FOR KIDS, FAMILIES AND
COMMUNITIES. COLLEAGUES DO YOU
REMEMBER YOUR FIRST CHILDREN'S
BOOK? MAYBE IT WAS PETER RABBIT
, A VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR OR
THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD,
WHICH I HAVE A SAMPLE OF RIGHT
NOW, BECAUSE THE LITTLE ENGINE
OF COURSE THAT COULD IS ONE OF
DOLLY PARTON'S FAVORITE BOOKS. I
CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS IS AN
EXAMPLE OF DOZENS OF BOOKS THAT
ARE AGE APPROPRIATE BOOKS THAT
DOLLY PARTON SINCE TWO CHILDREN
AROUND THE WORLD READING
TOGETHER CONNECTS HEARTS. TWO
BOOKS AND EACH OTHER DOLLY CALLS
THIS HER HEART PROGRAM AND WITH
ALL THE SUCCESS THAT SHE'S HAD
IN HER LIFE TO INVEST HER
RESOURCES IN A PROGRAM THAT
ALLOWS EARLY LEARNERS TO BE ABLE
TO HAVE ACCESS TO BOOKS IN THEIR
HOME. IS AN EXTRAORDINARY EFFORT
IN AN EXTRAORDINARY HEART
PROGRAM. CALIFORNIA IS HER NEXT
STOP. I HOPE WITH THIS ONGOING
MISSION TO BRING THE LOVE OF
READING TWO MORE CHILDREN AND
MORE COMMUNITIES. DOLLY PARTON'S
BOOK GIFTING PROGRAM IS A SIMPLY
DESIGNED EFFECTIVE WAY TO
INSPIRE THE LEVEL READING AND
LEARNING. TO EVERY CHILD ON
EQUAL FOOTING AND GIVE THEM THE
BEST START IN LIFE. DALI ONCE
SAID, IF ACTIONS CREATE LEGACY
THAT INSPIRES OTHERS TO DREAM
MORE. TO LEARN MORE TO DO MORE
AND BECOME MORE THAN YOU ARE AN
EXCELLENT LEAD. EXCELLENT LEADER
AGAIN. I'M HONORED TO HAVE MY
FRIEND AND HUGE MASSIVE. SHE
DOESN'T HAVE A PORTRAIT OF DOLLY
PARTON HANGING IN HER APARTMENT
HERE. IN SACRAMENTO SENATE
PROTIUM ATKINS ON THIS BILL, AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I

JUST HONORED. AND I THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BAKERSFIELD FOR
INTRODUCING THIS BILL AND FOR
ALLOWING ME TO JOIN AS A CO
AUTHOR. AS I MAY HAVE MENTIONED
ONCE OR TWICE, I'VE BEEN A BIG
FAN OF DALI PARTNERS MY ENTIRE
LIFE OF HER MUSIC, OF COURSE.
BUT ALSO HER INCREDIBLE ABILITY
TO CREATE GOOD IN THE WORLD. THE
IMAGINATION LIBRARY IS ONE OF
THE WAYS THAT SHE DOES THAT ONE
WAY SHE SPREADS JOY AND LOVE TO
MILLIONS OF FAMILIES. YOU KNOW,
GROWING UP A BIT UP THE ROAD
FROM WHERE DALI GREW UP. WE ALSO
DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO
TRAVEL. WELL, WE HAD NO MONEY TO
TRAVEL. LET ME BE CLEAR. BUT
WHAT WE DID HAVE WERE LIBRARY
CARDS. AND MY MOM TAUGHT US THAT
THEY WERE OUR TICKETS TO THE
WORLD. THROUGH THIS PROGRAM. WE
CAN HELP ENSURETHAT ALL
CHILDREN NO MATTER HOW MUCH
MONEY THEIR PARENTS HAVE CAN GET
BOOKS THAT WILL SPARK CURIOSITY
AND OPEN THE DOOR TO NEW
ADVENTURES. THIS BILL WILL
INSTILL HELP INSTILL A LOVE OF
READING FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE
AND BRINGS SMILES TO THE FACES
OF MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. AND I JUST HAVE TO
SHARE THAT AFTER, UM TWEET AND
SOCIAL MEDIA OF US PROMOTING
SOME OF THESE INCREDIBLE BOOKS.
MY WONDERFUL COLLEAGUE FROM
SANTA BARBARA WAS VERY EXCITED
ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOUNG JONAH
WAS GOING TO GET TO HAVE A BOOK
WITH HER NAME ON IT SENT TO HER.
AND I SHARED MY FAVORITE BOOK,
UM, AND GAVE IT TO HER. AND MY
INCREDIBLE NEW GRANDMA FRIEND
FROM BERKELEY ALSO MENTIONS THIS
FOR HER GRANDDAUGHTER, RONAN AND
HOW EXCITING THIS IS SO JUST TWO
OF OUR COLLEAGUES WHO ON THEIR
OWN RANDOMLY HAD FOUND THIS
PROGRAM AND WANTED TO KNOW WHY
WE WERE DOING THIS AND I SAID,
BECAUSE NOT EVERY COUNTY IN
CALIFORNIA HAS THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM.
AND WE WANT EVERY COUNTY TO BE
ABLE TO PARTICIPATE. AND SO
COLLEAGUES THANK YOU. IT'S ABOUT
TIME IN THE AFTERNOON THAT WE
GET TO DO SOMETHING INCREDIBLY
ENJOYABLE. SO WITH AGAIN, MY
THANKS TO MY FRIEND AND
COLLEAGUE FROM BAKERSFIELD. WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. SENATOR SKINNER. I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
BAKERSFIELD IN THE PRO TEMP FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL AND YES, MY
GRANDDAUGHTER IS ALREADY GOTTEN
HER FIRST SET OF FREE BOOKS
BECAUSE SHE SIGNED UP FOR IT,
AND SHE'S SO EXCITED ANYTIME
THOSE BOOKS ARRIVED AND GOES
LIKE THIS. SENATOR ALLEN.
SENATOR PAN. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT SENATORS TO HAVE TO
RISE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 11
83 ONCE AGAIN THANK MY GOOD
FRIEND FROM BAKERSFIELD AND THE
PRO TEM FOR ALSO BRINGING THIS
FORWARD AS A PEDIATRICIAN. AND
AS A PARENT, I KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT GETTING BOOKS IS, IN
FACT, IN THE PEDIATRIC WORLD. WE
ACTUALLY GIVE BOOKS TO PATIENTS
OUT THROUGH OUR REACH OUT AND
READ PROGRAM. UH SO THE IDEA
THAT CHILDREN ARE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO GET BOOKS IN THE MAIL
EACH MONTH THROUGH THIS PROGRAM
IS AMAZING. AND I HAVE TO SAY,
YOU KNOW DOLLY PARTON. OF
COURSE. NOT ONLY IS AN AMAZING
PERSON FOR UM, PROMOTING
LITERACY AND READING. SHE
ACTUALLY HELPED FUND COVID
VACCINE AND ENCOURAGED PEOPLE TO
GET VACCINATED, SO SHE IS TRULY
A CHAMPION FOR OUR FAMILIES AND
OUR YOUNG ONES. AND SO CERTAINLY
I STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT AND
LOOK FORWARD TO THIS PROGRAM
AGAIN, HELPING PROMOTE LITERACY
AND, UH, OUR LITTLE
CALIFORNIANS. THANK YOU. NO
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SENATOR GROVE THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. THANK YOU. MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THE COMMENTS ONE
THING THAT THE SENATE PRO TEM
AND I NEITHER ONE MENTIONED AND
WE APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. IS THAT
THERE ARE A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE
OF THESE BOOKS THAT ARE NOW
TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH AND
SPANISH. WE HAVE THE ENGLISH
VERSION, AND THEN YOU HAVE A
LINE OF SPANISH. DOLLY PARTON
HAS MADE A COMMITMENT IN THE
FOUNDATION TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERY BOOK THAT IS ISSUED IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
TRANSLATED IN ENGLISH AND
SPANISH. WHICH GIVES UM WHICH
REALLY MADE MY HEART HAPPY
BECAUSE JUST THAT DAY WITH NORA
CALLED AND SAID THAT THAT'S WHAT
THEY WERE GOING TO DO. I JUST
MET WITH THE FAMILY IN MY
DISTRICT, WHERE A SIX YEAR OLD
CAME INTO MY OFFICE IN THE
DISTRICT AND TRANSLATED FOR HER
PARENTS. SO THAT THEY COULD
CONVEY AN ISSUE THAT THEY HAD
AND THEY NEEDED HELP WITH, SO I
THINK, BRINGING FAMILIES
TOGETHER TO READ TOGETHER AT
NIGHT WILL CREATE A BONDING
CREATED MORE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE.
HOPEFULLY UM, IMPACT THESE KIDS
SO THAT THEY HAVE A GREATER
OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATION AND A
LOVE FOR READING IN THE FUTURE,
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
I VOTE. MEMBERS THIS ITEM IS
ELIGIBLE FOR UNANIMOUS ROLL
CALL. IS THERE ANY OBJECTION?
SING NONE EYES. DID I HEAR AN
OBJECTION? ISAIAH 38. NO. ZERO

SENATOR PORTANTINO. HE HAS
PREPARED. PLEASE READ. SENATE
BILL 10 79 BY SENATOR PORTANTINO
AND ACT RELATING TO VEHICLES,
SENATOR PORTANTINO. THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT MEMBERS I'M PRESENTING
SP 10 79. WHICH IS A PILOT
PROGRAM FOR SIX CITIES TO
OPERATE A VEHICLE NOISE CAMERA
PROGRAM, WHICH IS CURRENTLY
ILLEGAL TO MODIFY A VEHICLE IN
ANY WAY THAT AMPLIFIES THE NOISE
EMITTED BY THAT CAR OR THAT
TRUCK. FOR AN AVERAGE SIZED CAR
THEY CANNOT EMIT SOUNDS GREATER
THAN 95 DECIBELS. UNFORTUNATELY
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO UNIVERSAL
MEANS TO MONITOR AND ENFORCE
THESE LAWS. EXPOSURE TO LOUD
SOUNDS, INCLUDING NOISE FROM
VEHICLE EXHAUST SYSTEMS CAN HARM
OUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING. BY
CONTRIBUTING TO HYPERTENSION
HEARING LOSS SLEEPING
DIFFICULTIES IN INCREASED STRESS
LEVELS, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE,
PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS AND EVEN
CHILD DEVELOPMENT ISSUES. THESE
LOUD NOISES ARE OFTEN
ACCOMPANIED BY RECKLESS BEHAVIOR
. STREET RACING AND SIDE SHOWS,
WHICH FURTHER ENDANGER LIVES. I
KNOW THERE'S BEEN CONCERNS ABOUT
USING NEW TECHNOLOGY, WHICH WHY
THIS IS A SIX CITY PILOT. THERE
ARE A NUMBER OF CITIES THAT WANT
TO IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM. WE
HAVE WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH
OPPOSITION BEING VERY THOUGHTFUL
. THE SPONSORS OF THE BILL HAVE
HAD NUMEROUS CONVERSATIONS.
WE'VE ADDED PUBLIC INPUT
REQUIREMENTS. HEARING
REQUIREMENTS. UH DATA DELETIONS
. WE'VE TRIED TO ADDRESS MANY,
MANY OF THE CONCERNS. UM NOT
HAVING A FINE ON THE FIRST
INFRACTION. 30 DAY WINDOW WITH
NO VIOLATION. UM ALL KINDS OF
THINGS TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS.
WE THINK WE'VE GOT THE BILL IN
GREAT SHAPE. I WANT TO
COMPLIMENT THE POLICY COMMITTEES
THAT IT'S GONE THROUGH TO GET US
TO THIS POINT, AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.

SENATOR GONZALEZ. SHE IS READY.
PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL 9 72 BY
SENATOR GONZALEZ AND ACT
RELATING TO RETAIL FOOD. SENATOR
GONZALEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM.
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS ARISE TO
PRESENT SENATE BILL 972, WHICH
WILL MODERNIZE THE CALIFORNIA
RETAIL FOOD CODE, CAL CODE TO
INCLUDE SIDEWALK FOOD VENDORS
AND BRING THOUSANDS OF MICRO AND
ENTREPRENEURS INTO A MORE
EQUITABLE. AND WELL REGULATED
FOOD ECONOMY WHILE ENHANCING
CRITICAL HEALTH AND SAFETY. FOOD
SAFETY REGULATION. RECENT FLOOR
AMENDMENTS ARE THE RESULT OF
CONTINUOUS CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE ENVIRONMENTAL OFFICERS
ACROSS THE STATE. AND MAKE
CLARIFICATIONS ON COMPACT MOBILE
FOOD FACILITY REQUIREMENTS AND
OTHER NEEDED CLARIFICATIONS.
SIDEWALK FOOD VENDORS ARE A
STAPLE IN OUR CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COMMUNITIES IN OUR
PART OF THE VIBRANT FOOD,
CULTURE AND LOCAL ECONOMY THAT
MAKES OUR DISTRICTS AND
CALIFORNIA UNIQUE UNDER THE
EXISTING RESTRICTIONS IN
CALCUTTA CODE, IT IS CURRENTLY
VERY DIFFICULT FOR SIDEWALK
VENDORS TO OBTAIN A LOCAL HEALTH
FOOD PERMIT TO VENT FOOD. THESE
VENDORS ARE FACED WITH A
COMBINATION OF INACCESSIBLE,
PERMITTING PROCEDURES,
EXORBITANT COSTS AND COMPATIBLE
EQUIPMENT AND DESIGN STANDARDS
AS WELL AS PUNITIVE ENFORCEMENT
MEASURES. SP 972 DEFINES A
COMPACT FOOD MOBILE FOOD
FACILITY TO BETTER INCORPORATE
SIDEWALK FOOD VENDORS INTO CAL
CODE AND MAKE SMALL CHANGES TO
THE MICRO ENTERPRISE HOME
KITCHEN OPERATIONS AND THE
COTTAGE FOOD OPERATION. AH THIS
ALSO ALLOWS FOOD VENDORS TO
ACCESS THE EXISTING PROGRAMS.
972 ALSO ADDRESSES ADDITIONAL
BARRIERS IN CAL CODE, SUCH AS
INCREASING THE DISCRETION OF
LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS TO
APPROVE INNOVATIVE DESIGN
EQUIPMENT. ENHANCING SAFE ON
SITE FOOD PREPARATION OF NON
POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOODS,
INCLUDING HEALTHY FOODS, LIKE
SLICED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES,
CATALYZING THE MANUFACTURING OF
SAFE AND AFFORDABLE SIDEWALK,
FOOD BENDING EQUIPMENT AT SCALE.
AND REPLACING HARSH CRIMINAL
PENALTIES WITH NON CRIMINAL
ADMINISTRATIVE FINES FOR CODE
VIOLATIONS. THERE IS AN
UNFORTUNATE AND PREVALENT
ASSUMPTION AT SOMETIMES THAT
SIDEWALK VENDORS ARE SOMEHOW
LESS SAFE FOR CARE LESS FOR THE
HEALTH OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND
OTHER TYPES OF RETAIL FOOD
ESTABLISHMENTS, AND WE KNOW
THAT'S JUST NOT TRUE. SIDEWALK
FOOD BENDING PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR MICRO
ENTREPRENEUR. MICRO
ENTREPRENEURS IN OUR COMMUNITIES
TO START FROM ALMOST NOTHING AND
BUILD BUSINESSES TO SUPPORT
THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES
AND MAKE CALIFORNIA A MORE
INCLUSIVE ECONOMY. I ALSO WANT
TO SAY THAT AGAIN. I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUES WHO SPOKE
YESTERDAY FROM SANTA MONICA AND
SAN FRANCISCO. AND I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH SO MANY
FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
SIDE, THE CITIES AND I'LL BE
VISITING A FEW OF THEM AS WELL
TO ENSURE THAT WE GET THIS
RIGHT, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY,
AGAIN TO MAKE A MORE INCLUSIVE
ECONOMY FOR THESE FOLKS THAT
REALLY ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE
ENDS MEET. SO WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE. SO
ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? SENATOR NEWMAN. THANK YOU
, MADAM PRESIDENT. SO UM, YOU
KNOW, WE HAD A ROUSING
DISCUSSION YESTERDAY ABOUT A
RELATED BILL, WHICH TOOK A VERY
DIFFERENT APPROACH. OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA MONICA
APPROACHING THIS MORE FROM THE
ADMINISTRATIVE SIDE. UM AND THIS
BILL IS, BY ALL ACCOUNTS, A WORK
IN PROGRESS AS WELL. AND I
UNDERSTAND AND I'M ENCOURAGED
THAT THE AUTHOR HAS COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH IMPACTED CITIES.
CITIES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO AND
SANTA MONICA TO EXPLORE AND
ADDRESS THE VERY SERIOUS PUBLIC
AND ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND
PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES THAT ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH WITH THE STATUS
QUO AND WHERE THEIR CONCERNS
THAT THAT THESE PROBLEMS MIGHT
GET WORSE. IN THE EVENT THAT
THIS BILL IS PASSED AND THE
OTHER DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD. SO
I COMMEND THE AUTHOR FOR MAKING
THAT COMMITMENT. I LOOK FORWARD
TO HEARING PROGRESSES THAT WAS
FORMED WITH THAT I AM SUPPORTING
THE BILL TODAY. SENATOR
JERUSALEM THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. AH I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE AS CHAIR OF THE
LATINO CAUCUS AS A PRIORITY AND
AS A CO AUTHOR. MEMBERS THIS
BILL IS A SIGNIFICANT MEASURE TO
ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES THAT HAVE
PREVENTED THE ROLLOUT OF THE
STREET VENDING ECONOMY IN A
MANNER THAT ALLOWS FOR PROPER
ENFORCEMENT. AND REASONABLE
STANDARDS THAT ENABLE PEOPLE WHO
PURSUE THIS BUSINESS VENTURE IN
A FAIR AND JUST WAY THE
ENFORCEMENT OF STANDARDS AND
THIS SECTOR OF OUR ECONOMY. HAS
HAD SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. I
KNOW THAT I SEE IT IN MY
DISTRICT, BUT IT'S CRITICAL THAT
THE LOBBY REVISED AND NOT SIMPLY
RESORT TO CONTINUING TO
CRIMINALIZE THESE BUSINESS.
THESE ENTREPRENEURS WHEN I THINK
OF WHO MAKES UP THIS ECONOMY, IT
IS MANY PRINCIPALLY MEMBERS OF
OUR MOST UNDERSERVED.
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND
UNDOCUMENTED CALIFORNIANS. WE
MUST NOT FORGET THAT IT IS AMONG
THESE INDIVIDUALS MOST IMPACTED
BY COVID 19. PEOPLE THAT HAD
LIMITED TO NO ACCESS TO ANY OF
THE RELIEF THAT WAS PROVIDED TO
THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
CALIFORNIANS AND SURVIVING THE
PANDEMIC. PEOPLE UTILIZING THIS
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ARE NOT
CRIMINALS. THEY ARE TRYING TO
FEED THEIR FAMILIES AND SIMPLY
SURVIVE, AND THIS HAS BEEN
RECOGNIZED AS A PART OF THE
ECONOMY. AND AS SUCH ITS
STANDARDS AND BEST PRACTICES
HAVE TO BE REVISITED TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
. THIS BILL HAS ENABLED BOTH
LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND
VENDOR ADVOCATES TO COME TO THE
TABLE IDENTIFIED DEFICIENCIES
AND HOW TO IMPROVE. I TRUST THIS
PROCESS WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT
IN MUCH OF THE NEEDED
IMPROVEMENTS. THAT HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED IN THIS PART OF THE
LAW. THROUGH SP 9 72 WE WILL SEE
NEEDED AND CRITICAL CHANGES TO
THE EXISTING REGULATIONS
PERTAINING TO STREET VENDING.
THERE WILL ENABLE THIS STILL
NEWLY RECOGNIZED SECTOR ECONOMY.
TO FLOURISH IN A SAFE AND YET
PROSPEROUS WAY. FOR THESE
REASONS, I ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT,
AND I REMIND US THAT UM, THE
MANY FOOD TRUCKS THAT WE SEE
THAT HAVE NOW EXPANDED ALL OVER
THE COUNTRY STARTED OUT AS QUOTE
UNQUOTE ILLEGALLY DOING BUSINESS
AND THEY WERE, YOU KNOW,
CRITICIZED FOR BEING ACROSS THE
STREET FROM A RESTAURANT. NOW
THEY ARE THE MOST HAPPENING
THING IN FOOD ACROSS THE NATION.
IT WAS IMMIGRANTS WHO WERE
TRYING TO SURVIVE. WHO CREATED
THIS? THEIR INNOVATION CREATED A
WHOLE SECTOR IN OUR ECONOMY THAT
IS NOW PROBABLY IN MANY PARTS OF
THE WORLD. SO REMEMBER THAT AND
LET'S INVEST IN THEM. LET'S TAKE
THEM UP ON THEIR THE RISKS AND
THE SACRIFICES THEY MAKE IN
CREATING THIS PART OF THE
ECONOMY. LET'S HELP THEM. LET'S
NOT TREAT THEM LIKE CRIMINALS.
THANK YOU. SENATOR PEN. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. SENATORS I
TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 9 72
AND I THINK MY GOOD FRIEND FROM
LONG BEACH FOR NOT ONLY
AUTHORING THE BILL, BUT ALSO
WORKING WITH MANY OF THE
STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING THE
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS.
CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH
. WE PRIMARILY LOOKED AT THIS
FROM THE LENS OF FOOD SAFETY AND
, UH, YOU KNOW, AS AS CHAIR OF
THE ÁP LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS, THE
AND CERTAINLY IN THE AAPI
COMMUNITY, WHICH IS ACTUALLY
OVER HALF IMMIGRANTS. AH, THAT.%
HAVING THESE ENTREPRENEUR
OPPORTUNITIES IS VERY IMPORTANT
AND CERTAINLY THERE'S MEMBERS OF
MY COMMUNITY. WHO DO INVOLVED IN
FOOD SERVICE DELIVERY,
EVERYTHING FROM STREET LENDING
ALL THE WAY UP TO OPERATING
RESTAURANTS AS BEING THEIR
ENTREE INTO THE AMERICAN DREAM.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE VERY
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE
REASONABLE STANDARDS AS A PUBLIC
HEALTH PERSON. I'M GONNA BE SURE
NO ONE GETS SICK EATING FOOD
RIGHT OFF THE STREET, AND I
THINK THAT WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO
SOME REALLY GOOD WORK ON THIS
ISSUE AND AGAIN. I WANT TO THANK
THE AUTHOR AND THE STAKEHOLDERS.
SPURRED THESE CONVERSATIONS AND
FOR ACTUALLY THE CONSIDERABLE
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE ACTUALLY
TAKEN IN COMMITTEE TO ADDRESS
THE FOOD SAFETY AND PUBLIC
HEALTH ISSUES ABOUT THE WILD,
ENSURING THAT WE DON'T HAVE
UNNECESSARY REGULATIONS AND
RULES THAT PREVENT AH, YOU KNOW,
IMMIGRANTS AND MATERIAL AND
ENTREPRENEURS FROM BEING ABLE
TO, UH, TO NOT ONLY PURSUE A
LIVING, BUT ALSO TO PROVIDE A
SERVICE AND GOODS THAT WE ALL
WANT AND DESIRE CALLED THE
DELICIOUS FOODS THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT. I WILL MAKE NOTE, THOUGH,
THAT, UM AND GIVEN JUST ONE
RECOGNIZED THE DISCUSSION WE HAD
YESTERDAY. UM WITH THE BILL FROM
MY GOOD FRIEND FROM SANTA MONICA
, IS THAT WHAT WE DIDN'T TRY TO
DIRECTLY ADDRESS WAS ISSUES
AROUND. UM NOT SO MUCH THE FOOD
SAFETY, WHICH, UNFORTUNATELY
SOMETIMES FOOD SAFETY RULES ARE
USED. AS YOU KNOW, BY BY
LOCALITIES TO ACTUALLY FOR OTHER
MEANS, WHICH IS THEN CREATES
ISSUES RIGHT BECAUSE YOU SHOULD
FOOD SAFETY RULES SHOULD BE
ABOUT FOOD SAFETY AND CERTAINLY
RECOGNIZED HER PROBABLY CERTAIN
AREAS BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY
POPULAR, AND THERE'S A LOT OF
TRAFFIC THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
WANT TO ENGAGE IN. AND THAT
UNFORTUNATELY, THERE MAY BE SOME
PARTICIPANTS ARE ACTORS WHO ARE
IN THERE WHO DO NOT FOLLOW VERY
IMPORTANT RULES NECESSARY TO
MAINTAIN NOT JUST MAINTAIN ORDER
, BUT PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT
AND TO ALSO ASSURE ACCESSIBILITY
TO THOSE AREAS AS WELL. AND BY
THE WAY YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVING
STREET VENDORS COMPETING WITH
EACH OTHER AND ALSO OBSTRUCTING
EACH OTHER AND OBSTRUCTING
CROWDS AND TRAFFIC AND SO FORTH
THAT ACTUALLY DOESN'T HELP THE
VENDORS THEMSELVES AS WELL. SO
THOSE ISSUES. I THINK OUR AND
AGAIN I WASN'T DIRECTLY INVOLVED
IN THAT. I KNOW SOMETHING THAT
THE AUTHOR IS WORKING ON THAT
PERHAPS WE ARE AND I KNOW THAT
OUR COLLEAGUES WHO REPRESENT
THESE AREAS, I THINK THERE'S
PROBABLY FURTHER CONVERSATION.
BUT I THINK THAT THAT'S TO MY
MIND IS A RELATED, BUT IT'S NOT
SAME AS FOOD SAFETY AND I HOPE
WE DON'T TRY TO USE FOOD SAFETY
RULES. UNNECESSARILY. TO TRY TO
BASICALLY. ADDRESS THE OTHER
ISSUES RIGHT BECAUSE THEN WHAT
HAPPENS IS THAT THAT'S WHY WE
HAVE FOOD SAFETY RULES THAN
PEOPLE WANT FOOD SAFETY RULES
THAT REALLY AREN'T TRULY FOOD
SAFETY RULES ANYMORE, RIGHT
THERE BEING USED AS TOOLS OR
LEVERAGE POINTS FOR TRYING TO
GET OTHER GOALS. SO AGAIN. I
REALLY WANT TO APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR FOR HER WORK. I THINK
WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD WORK
DONE. I KNOW THERE'S STILL SOME
FURTHER CONVERSATION
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH OFFICERS,
BUT LET'S BE SURE THAT WE HAVE
SAFE FOOD. WE HAVE DELICIOUS
FOOD THAT'S AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE
AND IF THERE ARE ISSUES
PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOODS OR
POPULAR TOURIST SPOTS AND SO
FORTH THAT WE ADDRESS THAT.
SEPARATELY UM BUT YOU KNOW, WITH
WHATEVER TOOLS WE NEED THERE AND
LET'S KEEP THIS BILL MOVING
FORWARD. SO WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR AN I VOTE
ON SP 9 72. THANK YOU. SENATOR
ALLEN. MHM. UH YEAH. MEMBERS SO
I THINK IT'S HARD. THIS BILL IS
DOING SOMETHING THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT. WE AS WE DISCUSSED
YESTERDAY. WHEN SP 9 64 SO MANY
OF US VOTED FOR WAS PASSED. AH
THE THERE WAS A PARTLY SO AS TO
GET THE BILL THROUGH WITH ALL
THE CONCERNS FROM THE COUNTY
HEALTH OFFICERS, UH, THEY
CREATED A SCHEME THAT MADE IT
QUITE FRANKLY, VERY DIFFICULT
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET
PERMITS. TO GET LICENSES TO DO
THIS WORK. AND THEY WERE HOLDING
PEOPLE TO THINK. YOU KNOW WHAT?
WHAT RESPECT SEEMS TO BE A
REALLY UNREASONABLY HIGH
STANDARD LIKE A FOOD TRUCK LEVEL
OF EQUIPMENT WHEN YOU'RE WHEN
YOU'RE WORKING WITH THE FOOD
CART. AND SO, UH, THE AT AND
IT'S VERY HARD. THIS IS THIS
BILLS SEEKING TO DO SOMETHING
VERY IMPORTANT, WHICH IS TO
EXPAND ACCESS TO LICENSES. I
THINK WE'VE SEEN THIS IN THE
CANNABIS SPACE. WE'VE BEEN
DISCUSSING QUITE A BIT TODAY.
RIGHT WHEN IT'S HARD FOR PEOPLE
TO GO LEGIT. UH YOU KNOW, IT'S
NOT GOOD FOR THE SYSTEM. AND SO
THAT'S THAT'S CERTAINLY A REALLY
IMPORTANT THING. AND UH AND I
FIRMLY SUPPORTED AS HAS BEEN
MENTIONED THERE CONTINUED TO BE
SOME OUTSTANDING CONCERNS. UH
YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, THERE'S
BEEN ISSUES WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION 9 64 IN THIS
SPELL, THE HEALTH ADMINISTRATORS
ARE STILL IN OPPOSITION. UH AND
IT'S MY VERY YOU KNOW, SINCERE
HOPE THAT THE AUTHOR WILL WORK
HARD TO TRY TO GET THEIR ISSUES
RESOLVED. I KNOW SHE'S GOING TO
BE VISITING SEVERAL OF OUR
DISTRICTS TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE
ENFORCEMENT ISSUES THAT HAVE
COME UP IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE OF THE OF THE EXISTING SB 9
64 SYSTEM. AH AND SO YOU KNOW,
I'M GONNA VOTE FOR THE BILL
TODAY, AND I'M JUST VERY HOPEFUL
THAT WE'RE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH A PROGRAM THAT IS GOING TO
MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO DO
THIS WORK AND DO IT IN A WAY
THAT'S SAFE, DO IT IN A WAY THAT
THAT BUILDS COMMUNITY AND THAT'S
SAFE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES. AND
THAT'S THAT'S THE CHALLENGE
HERE. WE'VE BEEN WORKING AH, AND
I'M GONNA BE VOTING FOR TODAY.
IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION
OR DEBATE ON THIS ITEM? SENATOR
WIENER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I
ALSO RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 9 72
AND THANK YOU, AUTHOR FOR, UM
GOING THROUGH. IT'S BEEN A
REALLY CHALLENGING PROCESS SINCE
CHALLENGE CHALLENGING BECAUSE
THIS IS IMPORTANT. AND I AGREE
WITH SENATOR FROM LOS ANGELES
THAT THESE, UH, OPERATORS HE'S
FOR CREATING SOME AMAZING FOOD
NEED TO BE SUPPORTED AND WHAT
THIS BILL IS TRYING TO DO IS WE
WANT PEOPLE TO GET PERMITS. WE
WANT TO CREATE A STRONG PATH TO
LEGALIZING. OF THESE BUSINESSES
AND THAT THAT'S WHAT THE BILL
DOES TRYING TO JUST SAY. OKAY WE
DON'T WE WANT YOU TO BE LEGAL IN
TERMS OF LEGALLY OPERATING AS A
BUSINESS. WE WANT YOU TO HAVE A
PERMIT. AND SO WE'RE GONNA, YOU
KNOW, MAKE IT EASIER BECAUSE
THERE ARE TOO MANY CITIES THAT
CONTINUE TO MAKE IT VERY HARD.
SO I SUPPORT THIS BILL. I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CONTINUED
CONVERSATION AS WE DISCUSSED
YESTERDAY, AND I'M I'M 100%
CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO
GET THERE AND WE'RE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT SECTOR IN THESE MICRO
BUSINESSES THAT ARE TRYING TO
SURVIVE AND THAT ARE MAKING OUR
COMMUNITIES BETTER AND SO MANY
WAYS. SENATOR KAMLAGER. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF, UM SP 9 72 YOU KNOW
MY WOMAN OF THE YEAR. IS PATTY
ARCHULETTA. SHE'S A STREET
VENDOR AND ALSO A STREET VENDOR
ORGANIZER, AND I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO AND VISIT HER
AND PRESENT HER. WITH HER
PROCLAMATION AND TO LEARN ABOUT
THIS VERY ROBUST, UM, COMMUNITY
OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS, WHICH
IS REALLY WHAT THEY ARE. UM AND
THEY TALKED ABOUT HOW PATTY
REALLY TALKED ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES THAT SHE AND SOME OF
HER FELLOW SMALL BUSINESS
ENTREPRENEURS WHO ALSO HAPPEN TO
BE WOMEN. THE CHALLENGES THEY
FACED WITH TRYING TO GO INTO
OTHER CITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY
TO DO BUSINESS. UM BECAUSE OF
LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF LICENSES
AND PERMITTING AND REALLY
FEELING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST
BECAUSE THEY'RE LATINA WOMEN.
AND FEELING LIKE CITIES DON'T
WANT THEIR KIND. UM AND AS I
LISTENED TO HER AND HER COMPADRE
SHARE THESE STORIES, I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO WALK AND MEET
WITH A NUMBER OF THEM. IT IS A
COMMUNITY. THEY HAVE SOLID
RELATIONSHIPS WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT. OFTENTIMES THEY ARE
HIRING FAMILY MEMBERS AND
FRIENDS THAT HAVE A REALLY HARD
TIME FINDING EMPLOYMENT AND
OTHER SPACES. PATTY'S SON HELPS
HER. YOU KNOW, HE WAS IN THE
GANG LIFE GOT OUT. HE HAD A
BULLET IN HIS HEAD THAT THEY
WERE ABLE TO TAKE OUT. AND SO HE
, UM, HAS SOME DISABILITIES NOW
AND IT'S HARD FOR HIM TO FIND
EMPLOYMENT. HE'S ABLE TO WORK
WITH HIS MOTHER. UM, THEY OFTEN
COMMUNITIES FIND REPRIEVE WITH
THESE STREET VENDORS, UM, IN
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE
OFTENTIMES FOOD, DESERTS OR FOOD
SWAMPS, AND SO WHAT THEY'RE
DOING IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT.
UM AND I'M ENCOURAGING FOLKS TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL BECAUSE I
THINK WE HAVE TO KEEP THESE
CONVERSATIONS GOING. I THINK IT
IS HIGHLY HYPOCRITICAL TO WANT
TO GO TO A GAME. AND THEN WANT
TO GET YOUR HOT DOG BECAUSE
THAT'S EXCITING. BUT THEN YOU
KNOW YOU DON'T WANT TO BE
SUPPORTIVE OF THE ISSUES AND THE
CHALLENGES THAT THE STREET
VENDOR COMMUNITY ARE FACING. AND
OFTEN TIMES A LOT OF THESE, UM
SMALL BUSINESSES. I'M GONNA CALL
THEM ARE INTIMIDATED. THEY ARE
SUFFERING INTIMIDATION TACTICS.
THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH
INTIMIDATION TACTICS FROM GANGS
AND FROM CARTELS WHO ARE REALLY
ALSO TRYING TO GET MONEY FROM
THEM. IT MAKES IT REALLY HARD
FOR THEM TO EKE OUT A LIVING.
THESE ARE FOLKS THAT ARE
LEGITIMATE AND THEY WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE SUPPORT FROM THEIR
CITIES AND THE COUNTY TO ALLOW
THEM TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK
BECAUSE THEY ARE REALLY
OFFERING. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
THAT THAT MEMBERS OF THEIR
COMMUNITY ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND
OTHER PLACES THEY ARE ABLE TO
SELL TO FOLKS THAT SEE THEM AS
TRUSTWORTHY AMBASSADORS. AS WELL
AS SMALL BUSINESSES. SO I'M
ASKING FOLKS TO ALLOW THIS
CONVERSATION TO CONTINUE TO HAVE
FAITH IN THIS AUTHOR AND THE
WORK THAT SHE IS DOING WITH MY,
UM, COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA MONICA.
AND URGING, AND I VOTE ON SP 9
72. I THINK SENATOR STERN. THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT DEBRIEF
APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THE
AUTHOR MOVING THIS BILL TO WHERE
IT IS TODAY IN THE CONVERSATION
AMONGST OUR COLLEAGUES, UH,
ANYONE TAKES A CHANCE IN THIS
KIND OF MICRO ENTERPRISE IS
REALLY DOING THAT. JUST THAT
TAKING A CHANCE WITH THEIR
MONEY. UM AND OFTEN WITH THEIR
SECURITY. I HAVE PERSONAL
FRIENDS WHO'VE TRIED TO START.
UH LITTLE FOOD, TRUCK ENTERPRISE
OR LITTLE FRIEND OF MINE IN EAST
L. A. ACTUALLY WILL TACO STAND
AND GOT ROBBED FOR EVERYTHING.
TWO WEEKS IN UM, DIDN'T HAVE ALL
THE SQUARE APPS OR THE THINGS TO
SWIPE RIGHT? AND, UM WE HAVE TO
REALIZE THAT THE ENTREPRENEURS
IN THIS SPACE ARE TAKING CHANCES
, AND THE BEST THING WE CAN DO
IS HELP BRING ALL THAT COMMERCE
INTO THE INTO THE DAYLIGHT INTO
A PERMANENT PROCESS, WHERE THEY
NOT ONLY ARE DELIVERING SAFE
FOOD, BUT THEY FEEL SAFE DOING
THAT FOOD WORK. UM THAT'S A BIG
CONCERN. I THINK THROUGHOUT THE
GREATER RALLY AREA, AND I REALLY
DO I WANT TO SEE THESE. THESE
SMALL ISSUES SOLVED BECAUSE I
DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD UNDERCUT
THE BROADER PROGRAM. SO EVEN
WITHIN THE PURPOSES OF THE
PREVIOUS CENTER FROM LONG BEACH
IS FRAMEWORK. THERE'S NO CAP.
YOU CAN'T CAP ARBITRARILY THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF VENDORS, BUT
THERE'S NOTHING THAT IN MY VIEW
THAT CONTRAVENES THE PURPOSES OF
SENATOR LATTICE FRAMEWORK THAT
SAYS IN VERY HIGH TRAFFIC RETAIL
AREAS WHERE THEIR TOURIST
DESTINATIONS WITH EXISTING
STREET VENDING OPERATIONS OR
PERMANENT HAWKERS, OR WHOEVER IS
DOING THE SMALL, YOU KNOW, IT'S
NOT JUST AT THE PIER. IT'S AN
OLIVEIRA. IT'S ON. IT'S ON THE
CITY WALK. IT'S THESE PLACES I
THINK WE CAN SOLVE FOR THOSE
SORT OF THOSE SPECIFIC POCKETS.
AND I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT THAT
SORT OF ADDRESSED AND MAYBE NOT
THEIR FOOD SAFETY LENS, BUT
MAYBE BETTER THROUGH MUSIC,
COUNTY OR CITY. UM AND SORT OF
AUTHORIZING SOME VERY SURGICAL
UM. AH YOU KNOW DISCRETION IN
THE PERMANENT PROCESS THERE, BUT
I THINK ON THE WHOLE LOOK, IF
THESE MAKOS ARE ABLE TO BE
PROPERLY LOOKED AFTER, IF WE
ACTUALLY HAVE PROPER FUNDING AND
PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT AT
COUNTY WHICH I THINK WE SHOULD
ALL BE LOOKING AT. AND ACTUALLY
PUTTING THE RESOURCES BEHIND TO
MAKE THIS WORK. I THINK WE CAN.
I THINK WE CAN GET THERE SO I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE AUTHORS
CONTINUED DILIGENCE ON THE
EFFORT AND I'LL BE SUPPORTING
THEM. SAYING NO FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. SENATOR
GONZALEZ WHO MAKE INCLUDE YES,
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I
WANT TO THANK ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THIS REALLY
INCREDIBLE DEBATE, AND ALSO FOR
THEIR WORDS ARE KIND WORDS
BECAUSE AS AT THE END OF THE
DAY, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE AN
INCLUSIVE ECONOMY. AGAIN MANY OF
THESE PEOPLE LIKE MY GRANDFATHER
BACK IN MEXICO, WHO WAS SELLING
GOODS IN FRONT OFHIS HIS HIS
HOME. WHAT JUST A LIVING AND
THIS TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC,
SO MANY OF THEM LOST THEIR JOBS.
THINGS HAPPEN AS WE KNOW AND WE
WANT AN ECONOMY THAT'S ROBUST.
WE NEED TO INCLUDE THEM. THAT
INCLUDES ENSURING THAT THEY HAVE
INCENTIVES JUST LIKE BRICK AND
MORTAR, SMALL BUSINESSES,
ENSURING THAT THERE'S EDUCATION
IN THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY SPEAK.
I DON'T JUST REPRESENT SPANISH
SPEAKING RESIDENTS. I ALSO
REPRESENT CAMBODIAN RESIDENTS
WHO HAVE ASIAN NIGHT MARKETS.
IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S PART OF OUR
ECONOMY, AND WE NEED TO ENSURE
THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING THAT
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AGAIN,
JUST LIKE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT
HAVE BRICK AND MORTARS, SO I
LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONTINUED
WORK OF THE HEALTH OFFICERS AND
OUR WORK TOGETHER. THE SEPARATE
ISSUES. ARE GOING TO BE
ADDRESSED IN THIS BILL. THIS IS
A ENHANCING SAFETY OF FOOD. AND
I'VE SAID WHAT VENDING BILL?
THIS IS NOT A BUILT AGAIN.
CRIMINALIZE THESE FOLKS BILL,
JUST LOOKING AT THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY FOR FOOD. SO AGAIN, I
WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR
COLLEAGUES HERE AND I REALLY
URGE AND I VOTE. WE NEED TO
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE PART OF OUR
COMMUNITY. AND I THINK THE
MILLIONS OF VENDORS THAT ARE
HERE EXISTING AND WANT TO BE
PERMITTED. SO THANK YOU. MADAM
SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

ISAIAH 29 NOS. FIVE. THE MEASURE
PASSES MEMBERS WERE GOING TO GO

FILE ITEM NUMBER 13. SENATOR
BRADFORD. HE IS PREPARED. MADAM
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ. SENATE
BILL 10 38 BY SENATOR BRADFORD
AND ACT RELATING TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT, SENATOR BRADFORD
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT 10 38 WILL
CONTINUE TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF
FACIAL RECOGNITION BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT WHILE WEARING BODY
CAMERAS. IN 2019. THIS
LEGISLATURE PASSED A B 12 15 TO
TEMPORARY PROHIBIT LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN CALIFORNIA FROM
ADDING FACIAL RECOGNITION AND
OTHER BIOMETRICS SURVEILLANCE
TECHNOLOGIES TO OFFICER WORN
BODY CAMERAS TO USE AGAINST THE
PUBLIC. THIS PROTECTION IS SET
TO EXPIRE IN JANUARY OF 2023.
SINCE 2019 LAW ENFORCEMENT USE
OF FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY
HAS BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND
HAS GROWN GROWING CONCERNS ABOUT
THE TECHNOLOGY SHORTCOMINGS AND
IT'S MISUSED. PROMINENT
TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES SUCH AS
MICROSOFT, AMAZON AND IBM HAVE
ALL DECLINED TO SELL FACIAL
RECOGNITION SYSTEMS FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT DUE TO THEIR
INACCURACIES AND SEPTEMBER 2021
. THE LOS ANGELES TIMES REPORTED
THAT THE LAPD LAPD HAS USED
FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE.
30,000 TIMES SINCE 2019 20 OH,
NINE. DESPITE YEARS OF VAGUE AND
CONTRADICTORY, CONTRADICTORY
INFORMATION, THE POTENTIAL FOR
MISUSE IS HIGH AND CAN FURTHER
EXACERBATE RACIAL INEQUITIES. IN
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
PEOPLE OF COLOR AND LET ME SAY
THIS AGAIN. PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE
100 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE
MISIDENTIFIED WITH FACIAL
RECOGNITION THAN THEIR WHITE
COUNTERPARTS. WE SHOULD ALL BE
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. MEMBERS OF
THIS LEGISLATURE. 27 INCLUDING
MYSELF, WAS MISIDENTIFIED AS A
CRIMINAL USING THIS TECHNOLOGY.
THIS BILL. AIMS TO ADDRESS ONCE
THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE WITH THIS
TECHNOLOGY AND THE USE BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT. IT'S CLEAR THAT
OFFICER WEARING A BODY CAMERA
ARE FUNDAMENTALLY INCAPABLE WITH
THE BIOMETRICS SURVEILLANCE DUE
TO THE FACT THAT THEY'RE MOVING
ALL THE TIME. AND THE WIDE ANGLE
ON THE CAMERA GIVES YOU A BLUR,
BLURRED AND DIFFUSED, UH, IMAGE
AND ITS OF LOW QUALITY AND IT
RISKS FALSE MATCHES AND WRONG
FOR ARREST. AXON, THE MOST
PROMINENT. MAKER OF BODY CAMERAS
, HAS ALSO SPECIFICALLY REJECTED
TO USE OF FACIAL RECOGNITION FOR
BODY CAMERAS THAT THEY
MANUFACTURE AND MAKE, CITING THE
POTENTIAL FOR INACCURACY AND
SERIOUS ETHICAL CONCERNS. AND
REPORT BY ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE INTELLIGENCE ETHICS
BOARD, AXON STATED. FACIAL
RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY IS NOT
CURRENTLY RELIABLE ENOUGH TO
ETHICALLY. JUSTIFY THE USE ON
BODY WORN CAMERAS. AT LEAST
FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY
SHOULD NOT BE DEPLOYED UNTIL THE
TECHNOLOGY PERFORMED WITH FAR
GREATER ACCURACY AND PERFORMS
EQUALLY WELL ACROSS RACISTS,
ETHNICITIES, GENDERS AND OTHER
IDENTIFIED IDENTITY GROUPS. SP
GENERAL 10 38 IS NOT ABOUT
LIMITING THE TWOS A LAW
ENFORCEMENT CAN USE. JUST MAKING
SURE THAT THOSE TWO'S WORK
FAIRLY AND EQUITABLE WAY FOR ALL
FOLKS. THAT THEY USE MIGHT BE
RUNNING ENCOUNTER WITH THIS.
THIS BILL IS ABOUT ENSURING THAT
THESE TWO IS THE ONE FORCE MINT
ARE USED IN AN ETHICAL AND
RELIABLE WAY AND RESPOND TO A
LOT OF CONCERNS THAT I'VE HEARD.
WE'RE ACCEPTING AN AMENDMENT TO
LIMIT AND PUT BACK IN THE SUNSET
OF THIS BILL. SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR A VOTE. IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE? SENATOR
GONZALEZ. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. I TOO AM RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 10 38,
HAVING WORKED FOR ONE OF THE
MORE TRUSTED TECH COMPANIES FROM
MICROSOFT, HAVING WORKED
SPECIFICALLY TO ENGAGE POLICE
DEPARTMENTS AND THE ROLE THAT I
HAD PREVIOUSLY AND SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY, KNOWING THAT NOT
ALL TECHNOLOGY IS THAT
RESPONSIBLE, AND IT HAS LED TO
MISTRUST IN THE PUBLIC, BUT ALSO
, UM AS THE GREAT SENATOR FROM
LOS ANGELES MENTIONED
MISIDENTIFYING PEOPLE AS
CRIMINALS. AND SO I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE IN THIS,
AND I BELIEVE WE HAVE TO DO A
LOT MORE WORK TO ENSURE THAT THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT IS PUT OUT THERE
IN THE FUTURE. IF THIS, YOU KNOW
SUNSET SHOULD END AND WE DEBATE
THIS AGAIN THAT THE TECHNOLOGY
HAS THE UTMOST INTEGRITY. TO
BENEFIT ALL OF US TO ENSURE THAT
WE ARE DOING THIS WITH THE RIGHT
INTENTIONS WITH THAT. I URGED MY
VOTE. SENATOR KAMLAGER. YES I
TOO WANT TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF
SB 10 38, I THINK YOU KNOW, UM
YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS BILL.
IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR CIVIL
LIBERTIES. AND IF YOU CARE ABOUT
YOUR PERSONAL FREEDOM FOR FOLKS
WHO MIGHT BE PROTESTING WHO
MIGHT BE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHTS WHO MIGHT BE IN
A SETTING WHERE THERE IS POLICE
PRESENCE IF THERE IS THIS
SPATIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY
THAT IS BEING EMPLOYED YOU COULD
BE IN TROUBLE. WE ALL KNOW THAT
ALGORITHMS ARE BIASED. WE ALL
KNOW THAT WITH ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY AND TRIANGULATION
THAT CAN HAPPEN. UH THIS KIND OF
TECHNOLOGY CAN ALLOW YOU TO BE
TRACKED WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.
AND SO I THINK WE SHOULD BE VERY
CONCERNED. ABOUT LETTING THIS
KIND OF VERY INVASIVE TECHNOLOGY
CREEP INTO OUR PERSONAL LIVES,
BECAUSE ONCE IT GETS IN, IT IS
VERY HARD FOR IT TO GET OUT. AND
I KNOW THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
THIS AS IT RELATES TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT, BUT I HAVE NOT
HEARD OF ANY KIND OF TECHNOLOGY
OUT THERE THAT SELF CORRECTS
ITSELF. UM OR, UM SELF
REGULATES. THAT IS, YOU KNOW, I
MEAN, THEY'RE JUST DOESN'T
HAPPEN. SO UM, I WOULD URGE YOU
ALL TO VOTE YES. ON SB 38
BECAUSE AS MY. COLLEAGUE FROM
LONG BEACH MENTIONED. THERE ARE
MANY COMPANIES OUT HERE WHO ARE
SAYING NO TO SELLING AND TO
USING THIS KIND OF TECHNOLOGY
BECAUSE IT IS 100% INACCURATE
AND THEY HAVE DATA THAT WILL
TELL YOU THAT IT IS 100%
INACCURATE. WITH THAT I ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE FOR S B 10 38. SENATOR
WIECKOWSKI, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE ALSO, AND I APPLAUD
THE AUTHORS WILLINGNESS TO WORK
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE
WORK WITH PT WITH PEOPLE THAT
ARE DEVELOPING THIS BIOMETRIC
TECHNOLOGY. IT'S EXCITING IN
SOME WAYS, BUT IT'S ALSO
UNRELIABLE IN SOME WAYS, AND
WE'VE HELD ALLRED VARIOUS
REPORTS. THE COMMITMENT THAT THE
AUTHOR IS MADE TO LIMIT THE
SIXTH SUNSET. ADDITIONAL THREE
YEARS WILL ALLOW THIS TECHNOLOGY
, PERHAPS TO DEVELOP BUT ALSO
PROTECT THE LIBERTIES OF PEOPLE
HAVE. IT'S NOT A TOTAL LIFT OF
THE SUNSET. AND GIVEN THOSE
CHANGES, I HOPE THAT MEMBERS
WOULD SUPPORT IT. ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. SENATOR
SKINNER. THANK YOU, MADAM.
PRESIDENT. MEMBERS ALSO RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL, AND I JUST
WANTED TO REITERATE A POINT THAT
THE AUTHOR MADE. WHICH IS AT THE
POINT WHEN THIS, UH BILL WAS
FIRST PUT FORWARD. THAT HE'S NOW
TRYING TO ADJUST THE SENT IT ON.
THAT AUTHOR, WHICH IS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S. HAD MEMBERS.
MEANING US LEGISLATORS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AND SENATORS
FACES RUN THROUGH THAT SOFTWARE.
AND AS THE AUTHOR POINTED OUT,
THERE WAS SOME 27 OF US WHO, UH
, BASICALLY WHERE IDENTIFIED AS
POTENTIAL CRIMINALS AS A RESULT,
AND THIS WAS ACROSS DEMOGRAPHIC
, SO IT DIDN'T MAKE A JUDGE.
COLOR DIDN'T MATTER. SO THIS
SOFTWARE. IS FAULTY. AND FOR
THOSE OF US WHO WHO ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT. THIS TYPE OF
THESE TYPES OF ISSUES THIS THIS
IT'S NOT JUST A PRIVACY THING,
BUT JUST THE VERY FALL KEENNESS
OF IT. UM I URGE THAT WE SUPPORT
THIS BILL. ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. SAYING
NONE. SENATOR BRADFORD, YOU MAY
CONCLUDE. THANK YOU. AND I WOULD
THANK MY COLLEAGUES WHO SPOKE
OUT ON THIS. ALL WE'RE SAYING
IS, LET'S NOT AIR ON THE SIDE OF
MISIDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS. WE
SHOULD ALL BUILD A WALK DOWN THE
STREET WITH THE CONFIDENCE TO
KNOW THAT TECHNOLOGY. IF IT'S
GOING TO BE USED, IT'S GOING TO
BE ACCURATE. IT SHOULDN'T BE
MISIDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS. 100
TIMES MORE THAN ANY OTHER GROUP,
AND THAT SHOULD BE OF CONCERN TO
EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. WE'RE
NOT SAYING POLICE CANNOT USE
BODY CAMERAS WERE SAYING POLICE
SHOULD NOT USE IT FOR FACIAL
RECORD RECOGNITION PURPOSES
BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURERS OF
THESE PRODUCTS, THE DEVELOPERS
OF THIS TECHNOLOGY, SAYS IT'S AN
ACCURATE AT THIS TIME. IT'S NOT
RELIABLE AT THIS TIME, SO WE'RE
SEEING LET TO TECHNOLOGY EVOLVED
. LET US LET THOSE WHO ARE THE
EXPERTS AT IT. GET IT RIGHT. IN
ORDER TO MAKE IT A USEFUL TOOL,
BUT IT DOESN'T PREVENT LAW
ENFORCEMENT FROM USING BODY
CAMERAS WEARING BODY CAMERAS,
BUT NOT FOR FAKE SHOE
RECOGNITION. FAKE FACIAL
RECOGNITION CAN STILL BE USED
WHEN YOU USE THE APPROPRIATE
EQUIPMENT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF
THE INDIVIDUAL AND MATCH IT IN
THE DATABASE, BUT BLURRED THE
FUSED PICTURE ON A BODY CAM WORN
BY OFFICER WHO'S MOVING OR
RUNNING. AFTER TIME TO IDENTIFY
SOMEBODY I WOULD THINK WOULD
GIVE US ALL CONCERNS. AND I
GUARANTEE YOU IF IT WAS YOUR
SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS OR YOUR
FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE BEING
MISIDENTIFIED. YOU WOULD ASK FOR
A CAUTION TO AND A POLICY UNTIL
THE TECHNOLOGY IS DRIVING. I
JUST RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I VOTE
OUT OF CONCERN OF GOODNESS
RIGHT? PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MEMBERS ARE GOING TO MOVE ON TO
FILE ITEM NUMBER 69. SENATOR
UMBERG. HE HAS READY. PLEASE
READ. SENATE BILL 9 86 BY
SENATOR UMBERG AN ACT RELATING
TO VEHICLES, SENATOR EMBURGH,
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS. SB 9 86 WOULD ADDRESS
CATALAN CONVERTED THEFT BY
REQUIRING CAR DEALERS TO MARK
VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE
CATALOG CONVERTER, UM WITH AN
IDENTIFIABLE ETCHING. UM, I URGE
AND I VOTE. MEMBERS. IS THERE
ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? SENATOR WILK? YES, THANK
YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT JUST HAVE A
QUESTION FOR THE AUTHOR. IF HE'S
WILLING TO TAKE IT, SENATOR
EMBURGH, WILL YOU TAKE A
QUESTION? WOULD LOVE TO GREAT.
I'M CURIOUS WHY WE CHOSE THE NEW
CAR DEALERS AS OPPOSED TO THE
MANUFACTURERS, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY
CALIFORNIA. WE GET DIFFERENT
CARS AND THE REST OF THE NATION
BECAUSE OF OTHER REGULATIONS
THAT WE'VE PUT ON THE AUTO BILL
BILL MANUFACTURERS, SO I WAS
JUST CURIOUS WHY YOU CHOSE THE
MANUFACTURERS AS OPPOSED TO THE
DEALERS. THANK YOU. WELL, I
THINK IT'S JUST THE REVERSE THE
DEALERS VERSUS THE MANUFACTURERS
ARE REQUIRED TO ACTUALLY DO THE
ETCHING. UM BUT THE REASON IS
BECAUSE, UM, FOR EXAMPLE, USED
CAR DEALERS, UM WOULD DO THE
ETCHING AND WE DON'T HAVE
JURISDICTION OVER CARS THAT ARE
MANUFACTURED IN OTHER STATES.
AND SO IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE
THE CAR DEALERS HERE. ACTUALLY
DO THE ETCHING NOW THE
CHALLENGES AND I UNDERSTAND THE
CHALLENGES. IS IT THIS? THIS
DOES PLACE A BURDEN? UM BECAUSE
WE MADE A SOCIETY. IF THIS BILL
SHOULD PASS, WE MADE A SOCIETAL
DECISION. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
DEAL WITH THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER. EPIDEMIC RIGHT NOW,
BY HAVING SOME ONE OR SOME
ENTITY RESPONSIBLE TO HELP
CURTAIL THAT THEFT. UM LAW
ENFORCEMENT TELLS US THAT THE
MOST EFFECTIVE WAY RIGHT NOW IS
THEY HAVE THE CATALYTIC
CONVERTER ETCHED AND I RECOGNIZE
THAT THAT BURDEN DOES FALL UPON
THE DEALERS. UM AND THERE ARE
FEW WAYS TO MITIGATE THAT. SO
THAT'S WHY THANK YOU. CENTER,
BATES. QUESTION FOR THE AUTHOR
THROUGH THE CHAIR, PLEASE.
ANOTHER QUESTION CENTER. SURE.
UM IN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE NEW
CAR DEALERS, THEY SUGGESTED
NARROWING IT TO LIKE THE TOP 20
OR 30 BRANDS. SOME CARS FOR
EXAMPLE, THE CORVETTE WAS AN
EXAMPLE WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO
DO THAT WITHOUT DISMANTLING THE
ENTIRE ENGINE, AND IT WOULD
PROBABLY BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THOSE
WHO ARE STEALING THEM TO DO THAT
ON THAT TYPE OF CAR. HAVE YOU
CONSIDERED THAT POTENTIAL
AMENDMENT. YEAH, WELL, WE
CERTAINLY CONSIDERED IN AND AS
THIS BILL MOVES MOVES FORWARD,
UM, OUR COGNITIVE THE FACT THAT
THAT SOME VEHICLES REQUIRE QUITE
A BIT OF TIME TO BOTH. REMOVE
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER OR EVEN
GET ACCESS TO CATALYTIC
CONVERTER, AND THUS THIEVES
WOULD NOT. TARGET THOSE CARS BUT
SIMPLY BY DOING IT AS A AS A
MEASURE THE TOP 25. I'M NOT SURE
BUT WE'RE IN CONTINUING
CONVERSATION AGAIN. I AM AWARE
THAT THIS DOES PLACE A BURDEN
UPON THE DEALERS. AND WE WOULD
LIKE TO MITIGATE THAT BURDEN,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, MAKE SURE
THAT WE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE OF
CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEFT IT IS
BECOME EXTREMELY PREVALENT, AND
IF SOMEONE HAS A CATALYTIC
CONVERTER REMOVED FROM THEIR
VEHICLE, UM I JUST GOT A REPORT
IN LAST COUPLE OF DAYS OF A
FRIEND HAD TWO STOLEN AND COST
OVER $3000 FOR EACH TO HAVE THEM
REPLACED. THANK YOU ON MY OWN
TIME. I BELIEVE I HAVE SUPPORTED
THE BILL. HOWEVER WHEN THIS WAS
BROUGHT UP TO ME AND A
DISCUSSION WITH THOSE WHO ARE
BASICALLY RESPONSIBLE THROUGH
THE REGULATION IN THE BILL. TO
ACTUALLY AT THIS. I THINK THERE
IS SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED,
SO I'M GOING TO LAY OFF AND HOPE
THAT GOING FORWARD. WE REACH
SOME SORT OF COMPROMISE. IT'S A
IT'S A BIG CONCERN WHEN YOU'RE
ASKING DEALERS TO DO MORE AND
MORE AND MORE AND CERTAINLY, BY
THE TIME THE CONSUMER GETS THERE
, THEY'RE ACTUALLY PAYING FOR
ALL THAT HAS TO BE RETROFITTED
ON CARS AS THEY SIT ON THE LOT,
SO I THINK THAT THIS IS
CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT NEEDS A
LITTLE MORE. CONVERSATION AND
CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.
SENATOR GROUP. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR, UM, NUMBER ONE BEING
COURTEOUS WHEN I SAID I WAS
GOING TO PULL THIS BILL OFF
CONSENT FOR THE SAME REASONS
THAT MY COLLEAGUE FROM ORANGE
COUNTY MENTIONED YOU EVER BILL
THAT REGULATES THE AUTOMOBILE
MANUFACTURERS AND THE RETAILERS
OR THE YOU KNOW AUTOMOBILE, NEW
CAR DEALERS, AND, UM, THEY'RE
BOTH VERY MUCH ADAMANTLY OPPOSED
THIS BILL, AND THEY WOULD LIKE
IT NARROWED, AND SO I JUST
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT
WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION. AND
HOPEFULLY COMING TO A SOLUTION
THAT IS BEST FOR THEM AS WELL.
WE REALIZE THAT IS A PROBLEM. MY
COLLEAGUE HE WAS NOT HERE TODAY.
UH, SENATOR JONES HAS, UM HAS
DONE NUMEROUS VIDEOS AND
NUMEROUS PEOPLE PIECES OF
LEGISLATION ON THIS PARTICULAR
ISSUE. CADILLAC NUMBERS ARE HUGE
THEFT ISSUE, AND IT IS WORTH A
LOT OF MONEY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU
CAN TAKE IT TO A RECYCLER OR
SOMEBODY THAT WOULD PURCHASE IT
FROM YOU. SOMETIMES UP TO $400 A
PIECE AND IT IS A VERY LUCRATIVE
BUSINESS. BUT WE DO HAVE SEVERE
OPPOSITION FROM THOSE THAT
PROVIDE VEHICLES TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS. AND I WOULD I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS
THAT MOVING FORWARD. YOU ARE
GOING TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION TO HELP ALLEVIATE
THESE CONCERNS. SO THANK YOU.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. SAYING THEN SENATOR
AMBERG, YOU MAY CONCLUDE. THANK
YOU. I APPRECIATE THE QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS AND THIS IS AN
INTERESTING SORT OF PHILOSOPHIC
QUESTION IS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT
RIGHT NOW IS STRONGLY IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE BECAUSE OF THE
INCREASING PREVALENCE OF THE
THEFT OF CATTLE LEAGUE
CONVERTERS. AND SO WE HAVE TO
WEIGH THE INTEREST OF PUBLIC
SAFETY. VERSUS THE INTERESTS OF
THE NEW CAR DEALERS AND THE CAR
DEALERS AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PHILOSOPHIC
CHOICE. HERE WE WILL DO WHAT WE
CAN TO MITIGATE THAT BURDEN. BUT
AGAIN, I'M NOT UNMINDFUL OF FACT
THAT THAT THE BURDEN DOES FALL
UPON THOSE WHO WOULD BE
RESPONSIBLE SO HAVING SAID THAT
I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY JOINT
AUTHOR SENATOR PORTANTINO FOR

MADAM PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS. IN
2014. THE SENATE THIS
LEGISLATURE. PAST 2040 BY
ASSEMBLYWOMAN CRISTINA GARCIA.
SPONSORED BY THE STATE TREASURER
JOHN CHIANG. AND IT REQUIRES THE
DISCLOSURE OF LOCAL AGENCY
COMPENSATION ON THE STATE
COMPTROLLER'S WEBSITE. INCLUDING
THE SALARIES OF COUNTIES, CITIES
AND SPECIAL DISTRICTS. THIS DATA
INCLUDES ONLY THE POSITION
TITLE. AND THE COMPENSATION, NOT
THE NAME OF THE INDIVIDUAL

ALLOWED FOR MORE TRANSPARENCY.
IN ANNUAL COMPENSATION, AND IT
FOLLOWED A SCANDAL IN THE CITY
OF BELL. IN WHICH THE LOS
ANGELES TIMES INVESTIGATION
FOUND THAT THE CITY MANAGER HAD
MANIPULATED THE SYSTEM TO OBTAIN
A SALARY OF 800. $1000 A YEAR.
IN ADDITION TO SUPERINTENDENT
FROM THE ONTARIO MONTCLAIR
SCHOOL DISTRICT, HAD A SALARY OF
OVER $700,000 A YEAR.
TRANSPARENCY BUILDS TRUST IN
GOVERNMENT. AND IT'S ESSENTIAL
TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY. OF
LIFE FOR ALL OF US. BUT AFTER
THIS LEGISLATION WAS PASSED
PUBLIC AGENCIES WHO HAD THE
STATE ALL COMPLIED EXCEPT FOR
ONE CATEGORY, AND THAT WAS OUR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. THAT THIS
LEGISLATION BEFORE YOU CLOSES
THAT GAP. I WOULD ENSURE THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS PROVIDE THAT
SAME TYPE OF INFORMATION THAT

TRANSPARENCY. IS ONE OF THE

SENATOR DODD IS PREPARED. PLEASE
READ. SENATE BILL 8 46 BY
SENATOR DODD, AN ACT RELATING TO
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, SENATOR
DODD THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS. SB 8 46 6 TO DO TWO
MAJOR THINGS. THE FIRST IS TO
EXPAND ON LAST YEAR'S COCKTAILS
TO GO BILL BY ADDING BARS TO
THOSE PROVISIONS, REMOVING THE
MEAL REQUIREMENT AND ALLOWING
FOR THE DELIVERY OF COCKTAILS.
DIRECTLY TO A CUSTOMER'S DOOR.
WITH THOSE CHANGES. SB 8 46
WOULD BE IDENTICAL TO MY SP 3 89
FROM LAST YEAR, WHICH WAS
UNANIMOUSLY PASSED BY THE
SENATE. THE ABILITY TO INCLUDE
ALCOHOLIC DRINKS HAS BEEN A
LIFELINE TO OUR RESTAURANT
INDUSTRY. DURING COVID 19. THIS
BILL SIMPLY SEEKS TO CONTINUE
ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
ELEMENTS OF THE EMERGENCY
REGULATORY PANDEMIC RELIEF. IN
ADDITION, THE BILL REQUIRES
THIRD PARTY DELIVERY COMPANIES
WHO ARE DELIVERING ALCOHOL ON
BEHALF OF THE ABC. THE ALCOHOL
LICENSEE. LET ME JUST SAY THAT
AGAIN BECAUSE I WANT TO BE CLEAR
HERE. IN ADDITION, THIS BILL
REQUIRES THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
COMPANIES WHO ARE DELIVERING
ALCOHOL ON BEHALF OF AN ALCOHOL
LICENSEE TO OBTAIN A PERMIT.
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ABC. AS
THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT UNDER
CURRENT LAW. THE DEPARTMENT OF
ABC HAS NO STATUTORY STATUTORY
OVERSIGHT OVER THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES THAT DELIVER
ALCOHOL. THE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN
VERY CLEAR THAT IT CANNOT
SANCTION THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
COMPANIES AND THEREFORE
RESPONSIBILITY AND POTENTIAL
CRIMINAL LIABILITY IS WITH THE
DRIVER AND WITH THE LICENSEE
THAT SOLD THE ALCOHOL. SB 8 46.
THIS BILL SOLVES THAT PROBLEM BY
SHIFTING SOME RESPONSIBILITY TO
THE THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
COMPANIES AND PROVIDING THE
DEPARTMENT OF ABC WITH
OVERSIGHT. OVER THOSE ALCOHOL
DELIVERIES. I WANT TO BE VERY
CLEAR THAT THIS DOES NOT
LEGALIZED DELIVERY OF ALCOHOL BY
THIRD PARTY DELIVERY COMPANIES
BY EITHER GROCERY STORES OR EVEN
RESTAURANTS. AS THE ANALYSIS
POINTS OUT. CURRENT LAW ALREADY
ALLOWS ALL TYPES OF ALCOHOL TO
BE DELIVERED BY THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES ON BEHALF OF
GROCERY STORES IN THE ABILITY OF
THESE COMPANIES TO DELIVER WINE
AND BEER. ON BEHALF OF
RESTAURANTS. WHAT THIS BILL DOES
DO IS PROVIDE A COMMON SENSE
APPROACH THAT GIVES THE
DEPARTMENT MAYBE SEE THE
NECESSARY OVERSIGHT TO ENSURE
THAT DELIVERIES ARE BEING DONE
IN A RESPONSIBLE MANNER. THAT
PROTECTS AGAINST UNDERAGE
DRINKING AND OVER INTOXICATION.
WE'VE ALREADY TAKEN A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS IN RESPONSE TO THE
OPPOSITION'S CONCERNS AND WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THEM IS
THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD,
HOPEFULLY TO REMOVE THEIR
OPPOSITION. RESPECTFULLY ASK IF
YOUR EYEBALLS FOR ANY DISCUSSION

SENATOR WILKES FOR SENATOR
JONES. MADAM SECRETARY. PLEASE
READ SENATE BILL 11 35 BY
SENATOR JONES AND ACT RELATING
TO PUPIL HEALTH, SENATOR WILK.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS ARRIVE TODAY ON BEHALF
OF MY GOOD FRIENDS. SENATOR
JONES TO PRESENT SB 11 35. THIS
MEASURE HAS SUPPORT ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE. THE BILL
ESTABLISHES A PILOT PROGRAM TO
OFFER VOLUNTARY NOW INVASIVE
SCREENINGS FOR CARDIAC RISK
AMONG YOUTH. THE PILOT WOULD BE
OVERSEEN BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION WITH PARTICIPATION BY
FOUR CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT
FOUNDATIONS ESTABLISHED BY
PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR
HEALTHY CHILDREN TO AN
UNDIAGNOSED OR MISDIAGNOSED
CONDITIONS THAT LEAD TO SUDDEN
CARDIAC ARREST. MULTIPLE STUDIES
SHOW AN AVERAGE OF ONE IN 300
YOUTH HAVE AN UNDETECTED HEART
CONDITION THAT PUTS THEM AT RISK
FOR SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST. THE
FOUNDATIONS USED DOCTORS TO
OVERSEE THE RISK ASSESSMENT
PROCESS. AMENDMENTS WERE TAKEN
IN APPROPRIATIONS AT THE REQUEST
OF CMA TO INSERT THEIR REQUESTED
LANGUAGE FOR A PHYSICIAN OR
SURGEON TO INTERPRET THE
RESULTS. ON BEHALF OF THE BILL'S
SPONSOR, ERIC PAREDES, WITH SAVE
A LIFE FOUNDATION. THE RESULTS
ARE READ BY DR JOHN ROGERS, WHO
IS THE VICE CHAIRMAN OF
CARDIOLOGY FOR SCRIPTS,
PRESBYTERIAN. QWERTY
CARDIOVASCULAR INSTITUTE, AS
WELL AS ASSOCIATE CHIEF OF
SCRIPTS, MEDICAL GROUPS DIVISION
OF CARDIOVASCULAR AND THE NAMES
MISSING. I'M JUST THE FLOOR,
JACKIE. AGAIN THIS PUBLIC HEALTH
SURVEILLANCE PILOT IS OFFERED AT
NO COST ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS TO
SCREEN YOU FOR CONDITIONS THAT
COULD RESOLVE IN SUDDEN CARDIAC
ARREST. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. FOR ANY DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE, SENATOR PEN. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT, SENATORS, I
REGRETFULLY. NOW IT CAN BE ALL
VOTE FOR THIS BILL TODAY AND
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO START
OFF BY SAYING THAT I DO
APPRECIATE MY GOOD FRIEND FROM
SANTEE, WHO BROUGHT THIS BILL
FORWARD BECAUSE, AS HE PRESENTED
THE BILL IN THE COMMITTEE ON
EDUCATION, HE POINTED OUT THAT
NOT ENOUGH ADOLESCENTS GET
SCREENED FOR POTENTIAL CARDIAC
RISK, AND I AGREE WITH THAT
STATEMENT. AND THIS BILL, OF
COURSE, IS AS PRESENTED BY THE
FLOOR, JACKIE. UM YOU KNOW SET
UP A PILOT PROGRAM TO GET PEOPLE
SCREENING THE CHALLENGE I HAVE.
AND THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THIS
BILL IS THAT AS PART OF THE
SCREENING THERE'S ACTUALLY A
MANDATORY UM E K G, WHICH IT
ACTUALLY IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH
GUIDELINES MEDICAL GUIDELINES
AND I DID POINT THIS OUT TO THE
AUTHOR. AT THE COMMITTEE. I SAID
I'D VOTE FOR IT IN ORDER TO KEEP
THE BILL MOVING FORWARD AND
ASKED THAT AMENDMENTS BE TAKEN,
SO THAT WAS CONSISTENT WITH
APPROPRIATE MEDICAL GUIDELINES
TO ENSURE THAT WE WEREN'T
ENGAGED IN UNNECESSARY TESTING.
AND UNFORTUNATELY, THOSE
AMENDMENTS WERE NOT MADE TO THE
BILL AS IT APPEARED ON THE FLOOR
, AND SO LET ME JUST BE CLEAR.
SO THERE'S ACTUALLY A PROGRAM
CALLED CHOOSE WISELY. IT'S A
COLLABORATION OF MEDICAL
ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING
AMERICAN CAÑADA,PEDIATRICS AND
AH! AND THERE'S GUIDELINES, IN
FACT ABOUT UNNECESSARY TESTING,
AND I WILL PERMISSION THE CHAIR
TO READ. PERMISSION GRANTED, SO
THERE ACTUALLY IS A GUIDELINE
THAT SAYS QUOTE DO NOT ROUTINELY
ORDER DO NOT ROUTINELY ORDER A
SCREENING. EKG IS PART OF A
SPORTS PRE PARTICIPATION
EXAMINATION. AND ASYMPTOMATIC
AND OTHERWISE HEALTHY PATIENTS
WITH NO PERSONAL OR FAMILY
HISTORY OF CARDIAC DISEASE. AND
THE REASON FOR THAT GUIDELINE IS
BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO EKGS IN. YOU
END UP SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY
ON SPECIALTY REFERRALS AND, YOU
KNOW FURTHER WORK UPS AND SO
FORTH, WHICH ARE UNNECESSARY. SO. THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE
GONNA WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
WONDERFUL PILOT PROGRAM, THE
SCREEN ADOLESCENTS FORCE AND
CARDIAC BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE
PARAMETERS OF THAT PILOT PROGRAM
ARE TO REQUIRE PARTICIPANTS TO
ACTUALLY RECEIVE SERVICES THAT
MAY THAT ACTUALLY HURT NOT
RECOMMENDED. BY IN FACT, OPPOSED
BY THE APPROPRIATE MEDICAL
SPECIALTY SOCIETIES HAVE
EVALUATED THINGS FOR UNNECESSARY
TESTING. SO UH, SO WHY? IT'S
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD. UM
AND IF IT'S A PASS OUT OF THE
FLOOR TODAY, I CERTAINLY HOPE
AND I'VE ASKED HIM THAT HE WOULD
INCORPORATE AMENDMENT WHO WOULD
AMEND THE BILL IN A WAY THAT
WOULD SIMPLY SAY THAT? YES WE
WOULD DO A CARDIAC SCREENING END
OF APPROPRIATE PERK PROFESSIONAL
GUIDELINES. THEN THE PATIENT
WOULD GET AN E K G THAT IT WOULD
NOT BE REQUIRED BECAUSE
OTHERWISE WE'RE PROMOTING
UNNECESSARY. TESTING AND WE'RE
ACTUALLY POTENTIALLY PUTTING
SOME PEOPLE AT HIGHER RISK. SO
WITH THAT AGAIN, UNFORTUNATELY,
I'M NOT ABLE TO VOTE FOR THIS
BILL TODAY. IF IT DOES PASS OUT
THE FLOOR. I HOPE TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR, BECAUSE I
THINK FUNDAMENTALLY, IT'S A GOOD
IDEA. BUT WE DO NEED TO MAKE
THIS CHANGE BECAUSE I DO NOT
WANT TO PUT INTO THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA REQUIREMENT
FOR DOCTORS TO ACTUALLY DO
SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT
GOOD FOR PATIENTS. THANK YOU.
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. SAYING THEN SENATOR
WILKIE MAY CONCLUDES. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT. I WANT TO THANK
THE GOOD SENATOR FROM SACRAMENTO
FOR HIS COMMENTS. UM MY RESPONSE
WOULD BE 23,000 AMERICAN
CHILDREN DIE EVERY YEAR FROM
FROM SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST. IN
FACT, I JUST GOT TO NOTICE TODAY
FROM MY LOCAL COMMUNITY IN A
NEWS ALERT ABOUT A CHILD THAT'S
JUST BEEN AIRLIFTED, UH, FROM
HIS HOME TO THE HOSPITAL. SO SO
IT IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. THIS
IS A TOTALLY VOLUNTEER PROGRAM
SO YOU CAN ACCESS IT OR NOT
ACCESS IT. UM UH, DOCTOR. EXCUSE
ME. MY FRIEND FROM SACRAMENTO
ALSO MENTIONED FALSE POSITIVE
AND OBVIOUSLY THAT DOES HAPPEN,
BUT I THINK, UH, MAYBE GOING
THROUGH A LITTLE CONSTERNATION
FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IS
WORTH IT. IF YOU DO, IN FACT,
FIND OUT THAT YOU DO HAVE THIS
SYNDROME SYNDROME. AND FINALLY,
THIS IS A PILOT PROGRAM FOR 22
SCHOOL YEARS. WITH THE HOPES OF
GOING OUT AND REACHING OUT TO
MORE DIVERSE POPULATIONS THAT
CURRENTLY GET EXPOSURE TO THESE
SERVICES. SO AND I'M SURE THAT
MY FRIEND FROM SANTA WOULD BE
MORE THAN WILLING TO WORK WITH
YOU. AND WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

MADAM SECRETARY. PLEASE READ
SENATE BILL 14 28 BY SENATOR
ARCHIE LADA AND ACT RELATING TO
HEALING ARTS. SENATOR
ARCHULETTA. THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT. I
THANK YOU. I RISE TO PRESENT
SENATE BILL 14 28, WHICH CREATE
A NEW CATEGORY OF REGISTERED
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
TECHNICIANS TO MEET GROWING AND
NEEDS FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL AND
NEUROLOGICAL SERVICES BY
PROTECTING CONSUMERS. THESE
TECHNICIANS WILL OPERATE AS A
SERVICE EXTENDERS FOR
PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS.
ALTHOUGH EXASPERATED BY. COVID
19 PANDEMIC DEMAND FOR
PSYCHOLOGICAL AND NEUROLOGICAL
SERVICES HAS BEEN STEADILY
INCREASING. UNFORTUNATELY STATE
STATUTE DOES NOT DEFINE
TECHNICIAN SERVICES IN THE
PRACTICE OF PSYCHOLOGY, CREATING
SIGNIFICANT DELAYS. TO ACCESS
FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING
SERVICES. IT IS THE TESTING
SERVICES THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. CALIFORNIA ALSO HAS
EXPERIENCED A DIRE SHORTAGE OF
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND
GRAPPLING WITH THE MEETING OF
THIS NEED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE
RECEIVED DRAMATIC BRAIN ENTRIES
ARE AFFECTED BY PSYCHOLOGICAL
DISORDER. REQUIRE ASSESSMENT AS
PART OF THE LEGAL OR EDUCATIONAL
PROCEEDINGS TO RELY ON THE WORK
DONE BY THE LICENSED
PSYCHIATRIST. WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT AN ASSESSMENT, AND THIS IS
WHAT THE TECHNICIAN WOULD DO.
PSYCHOLOGISTS PERFORM BATTERIES
OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS THAT CAN
VARY IN LENGTH, DEPENDING ON THE
NATURE OF THE REFERRALS THEY
RECEIVED. IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR
THEM TO REQUIRE ONE OR TWO FULL
DAYS. FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF
CERTAIN PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS FOR
A SINGLE PATIENT. THIS MEASURE
WOULD ALLOW PSYCHOLOGICAL
TESTING TECHNICIANS TO
ADMINISTER AND SCORE
PSYCHOLOGICAL NEUROLOGICAL TESTS
UNDER THE DIRECT SUPERVISION OF
THE LICENSED PSYCHOLOGIST. THE
UTILIZATION OF TECHNICIAN IS
AKIN TO OTHER DOCTORAL LEVEL
PROFESSIONALS EMPLOYING
TECHNICIANS SUCH AS NEUROLOGISTS
WITH THE E E G TECHNICIANS OR
RADIOLOGISTS WITH THE X RAY
TECHNICIAN. SENATE BILL 14 28
ALLOWS A PSYCHIATRIST AND A
PSYCHOLOGIST TO UTILIZE THEIR
TIME MORE EFFICIENTLY AND
PRODUCTIVELY. FREEDOM FROM
FREEDOM TO ENGAGE IN THE
INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS,
WHILE ALSO BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL SERVICES WITHOUT
EMPLOYING TECHNICIANS. THE
MAJORITY OF THE PSYCHOLOGIST
THEIR TIME IS SPENT ON
ADMINISTRATION AND SCORING OF
STANDARD TEST, THE RESULT OF
WHICH IS PSYCHOLOGISTS WORKING
IN THE AREA CAN ONLY SEE A
FRACTION OF THE PATIENTS THEY
WOULD OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO SEE.
THIS WILL OPEN UP THE DOOR. FOR
MANY MORE PEOPLE TO BE SERVICED
AND TAKEN CARE OF. FOR THESE
REASONS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR EYE BOAT. MEMBERS. IS THERE
ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THIS
ITEM? ANY DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.

BILL. SB 10 50 10 50 WOULD
AUTHORIZE TOLLING AND THE
ISSUANCE OF BONDS NECESSARY TO
ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT
CONGESTION. AND LONG TERM
RESILIENCY NEEDS ON STATE ROUTE

SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE
DELIVERING COMPLEX
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS IN
ISSUING DEBT. THE BILL SPECIFIES
THE TOLL REVENUES WE USE FOR
INTERIM IN ULTIMATE PROJECTS AS
WELL AS ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION
IN ADAPTIVE IMPROVEMENTS. IT
WILL ALSO INCLUDE THE DEFINITION
OF LOW INCOME AND ESTABLISHES AN
EQUITY PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES
DISCOUNTS TO ANY LOW INCOME
DRIVER WITH A FAST TRACK AND
MAKES THE TOLL FUNDS SUBJECT TO
APPROPRIATION. THIS BUILDS A
CRITICAL STEP TOWARDS PROVIDING
THE NECESSARY REVENUE TO IMPROVE
RESILIENCY OF THIS VITAL
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
FROM SEA LEVEL RISE AND FLOODING
WHILE ADDRESSING THE CONGESTION,
ECOLOGICAL ENHANCEMENTS. TRANSIT
AND ACTIVE MODES OF
TRANSPORTATION. MEMBERS THIS IS
A MASSIVE PROJECT ULTIMATELY,
AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY,
VERY EXPENSIVE ONE. IT WILL TAKE
MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES TO
COMPLETE WHILE TOES TOLLS ALONE
CANNOT MEET THE NEEDS OF THESE
PROJECTS. THEY ARE VITAL SOURCE
OF LOCAL MATCHING FUNDS WILL
INCREASE THE PROJECT'S
COMPETITIVENESS FOR ADDITIONAL
STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDING.

PASSES. MEMBERS ARE GOING TO
MOVE ON TO FILE ITEM NUMBER 66
SENATOR LAIRD IS PREPARED.
PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL 10 20
BY SENATOR LAIRD AND ACT
RELATING TO CLIMATE CHANGE,
LARRY THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM PRESIDENT S
B 10 20 ENACTS THE CLEAN ENERGY
JOBS AND AFFORDABILITY ACT OF
2022. THIS IS A MAJOR JOINTLY
AUTHORED BY THE PRO TEM ALL
MEMBERS OF THE SENATE WORKING
GROUP ON CLIMATE CHANGE, IN
ADDITION TO OTHER COLLEAGUES AND
MYSELF TO GIVE GREATER
ACCOUNTABILITY TO CALIFORNIA'S
ELECTRIC. SECTOR CLIMATE
COMMITMENT AND FOR THE FIRST
TIME TO PLACE RATEPAYER
AFFORDABILITY AT THE CORE OF OUR
STATE POLICY. THIS BILL IS A
PRODUCT OF MONTHS OF
COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE
MEMBERS OF THE SENATE CLIMATE
WORKING GROUP AND STAKEHOLDERS
THAT ARE COMMITTED TO FORGING A
PATH. FOR A GREENER FUTURE FOR
ALL CALIFORNIANS. WE HAVE ONE BY
ONE, BEEN APPROVING OTHER BILLS
. IN ADDITION TO THIS, AND
TOGETHER WITH ONE THAT WILL
MATERIALIZE IN THE ASSEMBLY WILL
BE 12 BILLS AND TOGETHER WITH
THE BUDGET. WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY
FUND SOME OF THESE AS WE
COMPLETE THE BUDGET
DELIBERATIONS, IT WILL BE A
MAJOR CLIMATE PLAN. UM SB 10. 20
HAS THREE MAIN COMPONENTS. IT
ADDS INTERIM TARGETS TO THE
POLICY FRAMEWORK ORIGINALLY
ESTABLISHED IN SP 100. IT
REQUIRES STATE AGENCIES TO RELY
ON 100% RENEWABLE ENERGY AND
ZERO CARBON RESOURCES TO SERVE
THEIR OWN FACILITIES BY 2030.
AND IT ESTABLISHES A CLIMATE AND
EQUITY TRUST FUND BUT TO ADDRESS
RISING ELECTRICITY RATES THAT
THREATENED THE AFFORDABILITY OF
BASIC SERVICE AND UNDERMINE THE
ECONOMICS. OF BENEFICIAL
BUILDING AND TRANSPORTATION
ELECTRIFICATION. TAKEN AS A
WHOLE. SB 10 20 WILL BRING NEAR
TERM NEW RIGOR TO CALIFORNIA'S
LANDMARK ELECTRICITY CLEAN
ELECTRICITY SECTOR, CLEAN ENERGY
AND ZERO CARBON TARGETS TO FOCUS
ON THE AFFORDABILITY OF MEETING
THESE TARGETS AND TO MAKE OTHER
CHANGES TOWARD NEEDED TO MEET
OUR STATE'S AMBITIOUS CLIMATE
GOALS. I WOULD MAKE ONE NOTE
BECAUSE IT WAS ASKED IN THE
COMMITTEE HEARING. WHETHER OR
NOT SMALL BUSINESSES WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE, AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL
RATEPAYERS. AND THE ANSWER IS
YES AND WHAT WE DECIDE IN THE
BUDGET WILL DECIDE HOW FAR. WE
GO ON THAT WITH THAT? I THANK
EVERYBODY THAT WORKED TO GETTING
US TO THIS POINT, AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THIS ITEM? SENATOR
ATKINS. MADAM PRO TIM. MADAM
PRESIDENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
RESIN. STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 10
20 CLEAN ENERGY JOBS AND
AFFORDABILITY ACT OF 2022. THIS
PIECE OF LEGISLATION IS A
MASSIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT, AND I
WANT TO PARTICULARLY THANK THE
GOODSENATOR FROM SANTA CRUZ FOR
LEADING THIS EFFORT. ONE OF
CALIFORNIA'S GREATEST ASSETS IS
OUR DIVERSITY. BUT IT CAN ALSO
BE A DOUBLE EDGED SWORD,
ESPECIALLY IN OUR LINE OF WORK
FROM NORTH TO SOUTH COAST TO
INLAND FARMS TO BIG CITIES. THE
CONCERNS OF OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE
RARELY IDENTICAL. ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT COMES TO PROBLEMS AS
PROLIFIC AS CLIMATE CHANGE. THE
JOINT AUTHORS ON THIS BILL
RECOGNIZED THAT WHILE THE NEEDS
OF OUR REGIONS DIFFER, WE ARE
UNITED BY ONE COMMON GOAL.
ENSURING WITHOUT QUESTION THAT
CALIFORNIA MEATS ARE NECESSARY
AND AGGRESSIVE CLIMATE GOALS
WITHOUT LEAVING ANYONE BEHIND.
THAT DEDICATION TO EQUITY IS THE
CORE OF THIS LEGISLATION. THE
CLIMATE CRISIS IS HERE AND OUR
RESPONSE TO THE DAMAGE IT IS
CAUSING AND WILL CONTINUE TO
CAUSE CANNOT BE SLOW. AT THE
SAME TIME, WE CANNOT LET THAT
URGENCY OVERSHADOW OUR
COMMITMENT TO MAKE SURE ALL
COMMUNITIES REGARDLESS OF HOW
WEALTHY RECEIVED THE SUPPORT
THAT THEY NEED TO OVERCOME
RISING SEA LEVELS, DROUGHTS,
WILDFIRES AND MORE THIS BILL
MASTERFULLY BALANCES MOVING
CALIFORNIA FORWARD ON OUR
CLIMATE GOALS WHILE PROTECTING
WORKERS AND FAMILIES. FOR THAT.
I COMMEND THE JOINT AUTHORS, MY
COLLEAGUES FROM SANTA CRUZ
MERCED AND LOS ANGELES WHO KEPT
WORKING FAMILIES AT THE CENTER
OF EVERY CONVERSATION. I WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE MEMBERS
OF THE CLIMATE WORKING GROUP,
THE GOOD SENATORS FROM
HEALDSBURG, MENLO PARK, LONG
BEACH, SANTA MONICA, SANTA
BARBARA FREMONT AND SEVERAL FROM
THE LOS ANGELES AREA. WHO HAS
SHOWN AN UNWAVERING DEDICATION
TO MAINTAINING CALIFORNIAN IS
STANDING AS GLOBAL CLIMATE
LEADER. FINALLY THANK YOU TO THE
INCREDIBLE STAFF. WHO HAVE
LITERALLY POURED HUNDREDS OF
HOURS OVER SEVERAL MONTHS INTO
THIS INCREDIBLY IMPACTFUL
CLIMATE PLAN. THIS IS YOUR
SUCCESS, TOO. WITH THIS BILL, WE
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
COMMUNITIES ADAPT TO THE
REALITIES FACING OUR PLANET AND
REBOUND SWIFTLY WHEN THE
REPERCUSSIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
FLED OUR NEIGHBORHOODS AND
BUSINESSES. I URGE YOU TO JOIN
ME IN AN I VOTE. IS THERE ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE,
SENATOR DOLLY THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS COULD
QUESTION AUTHOR I MAY. SENATOR
LAIRD. WILL YOU TAKE A QUESTION?
YES, YOU WILL. SO THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION HAS A LOT OF P L. A
C AND THERE'S A LOT OF
AGREEMENTS, AND IT'S ALSO TRYING
TO PROTECT RATEPAYERS AT THE
COST OF THE, UM I GUESS GENERAL
FAN, BUT CAN YOU CAN YOU JUST
SHARE WITH ME, HAL. OVER THE
NEXT BETWEEN NOW AND IN THE END
OF THIS LEGISLATION, 2030. I
BELIEVE IT IS OR 2035. WHAT YOU
THINK THE RATES FOR ENERGY AND
ELECTRICITY WOULD BE. IS THIS
GOING TO DRIVE THE COST DOWN? OR
IS THIS GOING TO DRIVE THE COST
UP? I TINK OVER TIME AND THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION. THIS WILL
DRIVE COSTS DOWN, BUT IT IS
SUBJECT TO HOW MUCH WE
APPROPRIATE TO DO IT AND WE HAVE
TO THIS BILL SETS UP THAT FUND
AND ALLOWS MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
TO MOVE MONEY INTO THAT FUND.
AND IT IS UP TO US TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ACTUALLY FUNDED AND WHEN
WE DO, EVEN AT MINIMAL LEVELS
WILL BE DRIVING THE ELECTRICITY
WRITES DOWN. JUST ONE MORE
FOLLOW UP QUESTION IF I MAY
THROUGH THE CHAIR YES. IT'S
DRIVING CUT THE ELECTRICITY
RATES DOWN AT THE AT THE EXPENSE
OF THOSE SOME TAXPAYERS FUNDED
OR MAYBE IT'S UH, GREENHOUSE GAS
RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO
OFFSET THOSE COSTS. BUT AT THE
END OF THE DAY UH, ACROSS THE
THE COST PER CALIFORNIANS.
WHETHER IT'S YOUR ELECTRIC RATE
OR AT YOUR COST PER GALLON OF
GAS, WHICH IS ADDED TO THE
GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTION FUND.
IS IT GOING TO DRIVE ALL THOSE
DOWN OR IS IT JUST SIMPLY
MOVING? FROM ONE SECTOR TO THE
NEXT. THIS HAS THE ABILITY TO
DRIVE IT ALL DOWN, AND IT IS HOW
WE IMPLEMENT IT, AND THE REAL
ISSUE HAS BEEN THAT WE HAVE TO
MOVE MORE TO ELECTRICITY OVER
TIME. AND AT THE SAME TIME WE
ARE LOADING SOME OF THE COSTS OF
OUR CLIMATE PROGRAM ONTO THE
ELECTRICITY RATES, SO IT'S OUR
JOB TO MAKE SURE ELECTRICITY
STILL REMAINS AFFORDABLE TO LOW
AND MODERATE INCOME PEOPLE. AND
WE CONTINUE THE PROGRESS ON OUR
WORK TOWARDS COMBAT AND CLIMATE
CHANGE. THANK YOU FROM SENATOR
FROM SANTA CRUZ. I ON MY OWN
TIME. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY
THAT I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT
THERE THERE IS A COST SHIFTER.
BASICALLY, IT'S THE COST OF
DRIVING. MAYBE THE ELECTRICITY
RATES DOWN, BUT AT THE SAME TIME
DRIVING AT THE COST ON ON OTHER
SECTORS OF CALIFORNIA TO BALANCE
THAT COST. AND OBVIOUSLY, UM, WE
HAVE BUDGET SURPLUSES NOW AND
$97 BILLION. AN EX EXTRA
REVENUE, BUT AT SOME POINT IF
THERE THOSE AREN'T AVAILABLE, I
AM FEARFUL THAT THE LONG HAUL
BETWEEN NOW AND 2030 THAT THE
COST OF ELECTRICITY AND THE COST
OF GASOLINE AND THE COST TO
CALIFORNIANS ACROSS THE BOARD TO
DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE IN
CLIMATE MAY BE IN JEOPARDY OF
CALIFORNIA'S NOT BE ABLE TO
AFFORD, UH, TO CONTINUE TO STAY
IN CALIFORNIA'S. IS THERE ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON
THIS ITEM? DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
SEEING NON CENTER LARGE YOU MAY
CONCLUDE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MADAM PRESIDENT. I THINK. AH I
THANK THE SENATOR FROM BIEBER
FOR THOSE COMMENTS, BUT I THINK
THEY MAKE THE GREATER POINT.
BECAUSE THERE'S A QUESTION OF
WHAT WE CAN AFFORD. IN TERMS OF
THE CLIMATE CHANGE WE ARE
EXPERIENCING. I NEVER THOUGHT
THAT LIVING IN A COASTAL TOWN.
THAT IS USUALLY FOGGED IN DURING
THE SUMMER. THAT OVER RECENT
YEARS, THE FOG WOULD GO AWAY.
AND THAT I WOULD BE PACKED AND
READY TO GO AS A FIRE APPROACH.
DARK TOWN WITH NOBODY BUT OUR
CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT AT THE CITY
LIMITS WHERE WE LOST 925 HOMES.
IN OUR AREA. WHERE THAT WAS
HAPPENING AT A TIME THAT FOUR
MILLION ACRES ARE BURNING ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. AND SO REALLY, IT IS
OUR OBLIGATION. AS THE CLIMATE
IS WARMING THAT INTERNATIONAL
STUDIES AY WE HAVE A FEW YEARS
LEFT TO DEAL WITH IT AND THAT
THE IMPACTS ARE BEING BORN
DISPROPORTIONATELY. BY LOWER AND
MIDDLE INCOME PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA WHETHER IT'S AWARE
DEBATE AND THE SEA LEVEL IS
RISING, WHERE THEIR HEAT ISLANDS
WHERE THERE ARE ACTUALLY
DESSERTS FOR ELECTRICITY FOR
DEALING WITH ELECTRIC CARS, AND
I THINK WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
IS RECOGNIZED THE INTERNATIONAL
CRISIS CONTINUE OUR LEADERSHIP
IN CALIFORNIA LEAVE NOBODY
BEHIND AND REFLECT THE URGENCY
THAT WE FACE RIGHT NOW. THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL DOES. THAT'S WHAT
THE OTHER 11 BILLS DO. THAT'S
WHAT THE BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS
DO, AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT
CALIFORNIANS ARE EXPECTING OF US
RIGHT NOW. I RESPECTFULLY ASK

ITEM NUMBER 67 SENATOR DODD. HE
IS PREPARED. PLEASE READ SENATE
BILL 8 56 BY SENATOR DODD AND
ACT RELATING TO WILD PIGS.
SENATOR DIED. MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS NOW THE MOMENT WE'VE ALL
BEEN WAITING FOR SB 8 56. WILL
SEEK TO MAKE IT EASIER TO TAKE
PIGS TO REDUCE THE POPULATION.
AND THE DESTRUCTION. THAT THEY
CAUSE. THIS INVASIVE SPECIES IS
NOW FOUND ALMOST EVERYWHERE IN
EVERY SINGLE COUNTY IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. THESE PIGS CARRY
DISEASE CAUSED MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN DAMAGE TO CROPS EACH
YEAR. BECAUSE A WIDE RANGE OF
ECOLOGICAL HARM FROM SOIL
COMPACTION TO PREDATION ON
GROUND NESTING EGGS TO WATER
QUALITY ISSUES. IN PURSUIT OF
THAT GOAL. SB 8 56 MOVES FROM
PIG TAGS TO PICK VALIDATION.
ALLOWING HUNTERS TO PAY ONE
PRICE FOR UNLIMITED TAKE.
PROHIBITS THE DEPARTMENT FROM
LIMITING HOW MANY PIGS THE
PROPERTY OWNER CAN TAKE WITH
SUCH DEPRIVATION PERMITS AND
PROHIBITS PROHIBITS ANY NEW HIGH
FENCE PIG HUNTS. IN
GRANDFATHER'S IN THE EXISTING
CAN HUNT FACILITIES, WHICH,
ACCORDING TO THE CALIFORNIA FISH
AND WILDLIFE AMOUNTS TO THREE
FACILITIES. BECAUSE PIGS ARE
SUCH A PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA,
THE IMPACT MANY PEOPLE,
INDUSTRIES AND PROFESSIONS. MY
OFFICE HAS BEEN WORKING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS AND WE MADE GREAT
PROGRESS. JUST THIS WEEK. WE
WERE ABLE TO COME TO AGREEMENT
WITH A RANCHERS AND CATTLEMEN,
AND WE'LL BE WORKING ON THOSE
AMENDMENTS AS IT MOVES THROUGH
THE ASSEMBLY. SO MEMBERS TODAY
LET'S GO HOG WILD AND VOTE FOR
THIS BILL. IS THERE ANY
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE? SENATOR
COURTESY. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. AYE. I'M ASSUMING
THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY
AMENDMENTS TO THE PORTION OF THE
BILL THAT DEALS WITH USING
LIGHTS, UH, TO HUNT PIGS ON A
NOCTURNAL BASIS. UM THAT WOULD
FRANKLY BE DEVASTATING TO THE%
ECOSYSTEM IN MY DISTRICT, WHICH
RUNS ALL THE WAY FROM THE
EASTERN SPHERE OF INFLUENCE OF
SAN JOSE, ALL THE WAY TO STAY ON
A SAW. IN ALAMEDA COUNTY.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH IN TERMS OF
OFFICIAL WILDLIFE. ENFORCEMENT
IN THAT AREA AS IT IS IT'S
HIGHWAY 1 30. THE WHOLE PATROL
CAN'T GET OUT THERE. UM AND I
JUST WANTED TO SAY TO THE AUTHOR
IN. MAYBE I CAN POSE THIS AS A
QUESTION THROUGH THE CHAIR OF
THE OFFICERS WILLING IF HE'S
WILLING TO TAKE THAT. SECTION OF
THE BILL OUT. I THINK IT WAS
SECTION B OR SECTION TO THE BILL
THAT DEALS WITH SPOTLIGHTING OR%
HEADLINING HEADLINING OF THE
GAME. I THINK THE VALIDATION
STREAMLINING ON THE LICENSES IS
GREAT. IT'S A GOOD THING. UM,
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
IN THAT REGARD, BUT I ABSOLUTELY
CAN'T SUPPORT OPENING UP.
NOCTURNAL HUNTING, YOU KNOW,
ALONG THE COASTAL RANGE OR IN
THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS IN MY
DISTRICT. SENATOR WILL YOU
ACCEPT A QUESTION? YES I WILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'M REALLY
GLAD YOU ASKED THAT QUESTION.
THAT SECTION IS GONE. I TOTALLY
AGREE WITH YOU. THAT'S NOT ANY
KIND OF HUNTING ANYWAY. YOU
KNOW, FRANKLY, FROM A
SPORTSMAN'S VANTAGE POINT, WE
HAVE ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO GET
RID OF THESE, BUT THAT'S NOT THE
WAY TO DO IT AND THAT HAS BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE BILL. SENATOR
THROUGH THE CHAIR. IT ISN'T IT
HASN'T BEEN MODIFIED THE
ANALYSIS BEFORE US TODAY. I'M
JUST JUST GOT IT'S AN APPROACH
IS THE APPROACH AMENDMENTS
DELETED ALL OF THAT? ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT ON
THE ROAD OUT OF THE BILL, NOT IN
THE BILL. AND IF THERE'S ANY
QUESTIONS ON THAT YOU'VE GOT MY
WORD HERE. I'LL WORK WITH YOU.
BUT I WAS JUST TOLD THAT A
PROBES AMENDED THAT OUT. I TRUST
MY STAFF. THANK YOU TO THE
AUTHOR FOR CLARIFYING THAT ON
THE RECORD, AND THAT'S ALL I
HAD. MADAM PRESIDENT. IS THERE
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE? SENATOR GROUP. THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I APPRECIATE
THE OTHER MAKING IN HIS COMMENTS
THAT HE WAS PROTECTING THE THREE
HIGH FENCE AREAS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT AUTHORIZED UM
THESE PECANS BECAUSE THERE ARE
SEVERAL UNITED STATES MILITARY
VETERANS GROUPS THAT ORGANIZE
THESE PICK INTO THESE HYPHENS
AREAS, AND I THINK WHEN YOU COME
BACK FROM A WARTIME SITUATION,
PTSD LIKE MY COLLEAGUE FROM, UM
STOCKTON INTRODUCED A BILL
REGARDING PTSD AND VETERANS. THE
CAMARADERIE AND THE ABILITY TO
GET TOGETHER AND STILL BE
FRIENDS AND DO THINGS THAT YOU
ALL ENJOY IS SOMETHING THAT'S
VERY IMPORTANT. UM ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT
THIS BILL WHEN IT CAME BEFORE US
LAST TIME WAS BECAUSE THE
HYPHENS AREAS WHERE EXCLUDED
FROM THIS, BUT I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING THE AMENDMENT TO MAKE
SURE UNITED STATES MILITARY
VETERANS WHO HAVE SWORN TO
DEFEND THIS COUNTRY AGAINST ALL
ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC
STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO OUT
AND HAVE THAT CAMARADERIE IN
THOSE SAFE LOCATIONS. AND
ERADICATE. THIS HORRIBLE SPECIES
. I MEAN, IT IS A HORRIBLE
SPECIES. WE HAVE RANCH PROPERTY
AND THEY DESTROY EVERYTHING IN
ITS PATH. THEY ARE AWFUL. THEY
UPROOT EVERYTHING. THEY PUT YOUR
PRODUCT THAT YOU TRY TO SELL THE
APPROVE YOUR LAND THEY UPROOT.
IT'S LIKE A LIKE I DON'T KNOW,
EVEN KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN WHAT IT
IS IT YOU JUST GO OUT IN THE
ENTIRE MOUNTAINSIDE IS GONE. NO
GRASS, NO FEED FOR YOUR HEY, NO,
NOTHING AND IT'S UM COMPLETELY
DESTROYED AND THEY CAN DO THAT
FLOCK OF PIGS ARE HERD OF PIGS
CAN DO THAT. OVERNIGHT IN WHOLE
MOUNTAINSIDE HAS GONE, SO I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S SOLUTION
TO THIS PROBLEM AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AND I VOTE. SENATOR
NIELSEN. PRESIDENT LEGEND
GENTLEMEN SENATE. THESE HOGS ARE
MOTHER NATURE'S BACK HOME. YOU
EVER WATCHED THEM WORK THE LAND.

PROFIT. THE OUTCOMPETE OTHER
WILDLIFE. MOTHER NATURE. RIDIC
IT GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE TO

WILK NÓ T. ALL RIGHT. DO WE
HAVE EVERYBODY CORRECTLY? I
STUDY FIVE NO. ZERO THE MEASURE
PASSES. MOVING ON TO FILE ITEM
NUMBER 68 SENATOR STERN IS
READY. PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL
14 46 BY SENATOR STERN AND ACT
RELATING TO BEHAVIORAL HEALTH,
SENATOR STERN, THE FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. MEMBERS. WE HAD A
ROBUST DISCUSSION YESTERDAY
ABOUT. THE MENTAL HEALTH CRISES
THAT WE'RE FACING ON THE STREETS
OF CALIFORNIA. WE'RE LOSING
PEOPLE EVERYDAY PEOPLE WE KNOW
PEOPLE WE LOVE AND PEOPLE. WILL
NEVER MEET, BUT. WHO ARE JUST
SLIPPING THROUGH THE CRACKS OF A
BROKEN SYSTEM. THE MEASURE
BEFORE YOU HERE TODAY IS. OUR
BEST ATTEMPT TO SET A VISION FOR
HOW THINGS SHOULD BE NOT
NECESSARILY HOW THEY ARE. BUT AS
I MENTIONED YESTERDAY,
CALIFORNIA CODE CURRENTLY
REGARDS MENTAL HEALTH CARE IS A
BASIC HUMAN SERVICE. BUT NOT A
RIGHT, NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD
BE ASPIRED FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS.
THIS BILL WOULD USE SOME PRIOR
FRAMEWORKS. ON SETTING THESE
KINDS OF VISIONS. NAMELY THE
HUMAN RIGHT TO WATER. A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION. WE PASSED A FEW
YEARS BACK. TO SET AN ASPIRATION
FOR OUR STATE AGENCIES AND NOT
NECESSARILY TO TRUMP THE BUDGET
PROCESS OR TWO. UM, OR TO IN ANY
WAY. OBLIGATEOUR AGENCIES,
RIGHTS OR RESPONSIBILITIES OR
INFRINGE ON THOSE
RESPONSIBILITIES OR OBLIGATIONS
, BUT INSTEAD TO SET OF A NORTH
STAR THAT ESPECIALLY FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT THE CARE COURT
PROPOSAL SEEKS TO CARE FOR.
THOSE WITH. SCHIZOPHRENIA
SPECTRUM AND OTHER PSYCHOTIC
DISORDERS TO BE SPECIFIC. I
BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO
GUARANTEE PEOPLE IN THAT WORD
SHIP IN THE CARE OF THAT COURT.
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. AND THE
RIGHT TO HOUSING THAT HEALS. SO
THAT IT'S NOT A MAYBE, AND WE
ACTUALLY BUILD THAT TRUST. NOW I
KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF DETAILS
AND A LOT OF COMPLEX FORMULAS
AND OTHER ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS
THAT NEED TO BE WORKED ON AND
THOUGHT THROUGH EVERYTHING FROM
A WAIVER WITH MEDIC AL FOR RMD
BIDS TO REFORMS TO PROP 63 IN
THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ACT.
TO SUSTAINABLE FUNDING FOR
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
INFRASTRUCTURE. TO THE KIND OF
FINANCING OF THAT INFRASTRUCTURE
THAT SENATOR FROM RIVERSIDE HAS
SPOKEN UP. I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT
OF WORK TO DO, BUT I THINK AS A
BODY IT BEHOOVES US TO SET IN
NORTH STAR FOR AGENCIES. AND TO
ACTUALLY COMMIT OURSELVES TO
FILLING. WHAT I BELIEVE IS OUR
OBLIGATION IS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AT THE COUNTY LEVEL
, THE FEDERAL LEVEL, BUT I THINK
IT'S ON US TO LEAD. I WANT TO
THANK THE CHAIR OF THE SENATE
HEALTH COMMITTEE FOR HIS STAFF'S
WORK ON THIS MEASURE. WE KNOW
IT'S ASPIRING. UH BUT BUT
GROUNDING THIS IN SOMETHING
THAT'S TANGIBLE AND ALSO, THAT
DOESN'T. IT DOESN'T INTERRUPT
THE PROCESS OR POSE SOME KIND OF
RISK TO EXISTING CONTINUUM OF
CARE PROGRAMS OR HOUSING
PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALREADY
UNDERWAY. I THINK WE'VE TAILORED
THIS BILL, HOPEFULLY IN A WAY
THAT THAT MAKES ITS POINT. THAT
SETS US ON A PATH. AND SHOULD
THINGS EVOLVE THROUGH THE BUDGET
PROCESS OR IN THE ASSEMBLY. AH
MAYBE PROVIDES THAT SOLUTION TO
BRIDGE THE GAP IN THIS CARE
COURT CONVERSATION AS WELL. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR I VOTE AND
I DO WANT TO THANK ALSO MY CO
AUTHOR, AND TO ME, THE MOST
IMPORTANT LEADER ON MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES IN CALIFORNIA THIS
YEAR, THE CENTER FROM STOCKTON,
SO I APPRECIATE HER. HER
CONFIDENCE IN ME TO JOIN ONTO
THIS MEASURE. SENATOR EGGMAN.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM,
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS AND I JUST
WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE. THIS
AS HE SAID, THIS IS SOMEONE
ASPIRATIONAL. BUT ISN'T IT
SOMETHING WE ALL ASPIRE TO?
ISN'T IT SOMETHING THAT WE THAT
WE WISH EVERY SINGLE PERSON HAD.
THE MINUTE THEY FEEL THE NEED TO
TALK TO SOMEBODY MINUTE. THEY
FEEL LIKE THEY NEED SUPPORT THAT
WE'D BE ABLE TO PROVIDE IT. WE
ALWAYS SAY OUR BUDGET IS OUR
VALUE STATEMENT, AND WE HAVE
CERTAINLY DONE OUR VERY BEST TO
PUT AS MUCH IN AS WE CAN, IN THE
MOST EFFECTIVE WAYS THAT WE CAN,
AND WE'VE CRAFTED A LOT OF VERY
CAREFUL LEGISLATION THIS YEAR.
INNOVATIVE LEGISLATION THAT I
THINK IS REALLY, REALLY GOING TO
GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS MAKING A
HUGE DIFFERENCE IN WHAT WE SEE.
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS MORE TO BE
DONE. AND SO I THINK FROM MY
COLLEAGUE FOR CONTINUING TO PUSH
THIS ISSUE THAT WE SHOULD ALL WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE A
RIGHT TO MENTAL HEALTH AND AGAIN
. WELL, THIS BILL DOES NOT
ACTUALLY GUARANTEE IT. IT IS OUR
IT IS OUR INTENTION. IT IS OUR
WISH IT IS. IT IS WHAT WE
BELIEVE IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO. IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE
IS ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY. AND I
ASKED FOR YOUR I VOTE. SENATOR
DOLLY. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT IF I MAY POSE A
QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR QUESTION.
YES I JUST WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR
FROM THE AUTHOR. ARE YOU
SUPPORTING THIS BILL OR OPPOSING
THIS BILL? WE WILL MAKE THAT
THAT PRIOR VOTE, THE EXCEPTION,
NOT THE RULE. THERE HAS BEEN
SOME CONFUSION IN PAST BILLS
WHERE THE AUTHOR OF HIS BILLS
ARE GOING, SO I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE I KNOW WHERE HE'S
HEADED. THANK YOU FOR THAT
ANSWER. SENATOR PEN. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT. SENATORS I
CERTAINLY HOPE HE'S SUPPORTING
THIS BILL. UM I JUST WANT TO.
FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK MY
GOOD FRIEND FROM LOS ANGELES FOR
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE ON
HEALTH. IF YOU LOOK AT THE
ANALYSIS. YOU'LL NOTE THAT AS
CHAIR LAID OFF THE BILL. UM I
THINK AT THE TIME IT CAME OUT OF
THE COMMITTEE ON HEALTH. THOSE
STILL MAYBE A LITTLE TOO
ASPIRATIONAL. NOT ENOUGH DETAILS
WERE FILLED IN BUT I APPRECIATE
THAT HE MADE THE COMMITMENT TO
FILL IN SOME OF THOSE DETAILS.
WE MODELED IT AFTER THE RIGHT TO
WATER LAW THAT WAS AUTHORED BY
SENATOR MONNING, AND HE WORKED
WITH MY STAFF, AND NOW THOSE
PARAMETERS ARE IN THE BILL
BEFORE US HERE ON THE FLOOR. SO
WITH THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, IF YOU
IF YOU SUPPORT THE IDEA OF THE
RIGHT TO HOUSING THAT HEELS THAT
HE HAS DESCRIBED HIS ASPIRATION
BUT NOW FILLED IN WITH SOME MORE
GUARDRAILS. CERTAINLY I KNOW
THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE THAT
WORK. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
YOU WORK FOR MY STAFF. YOU PUT
THOSE SPECIFICS IN THERE AND
THAT THIS BILL TO ME, AT LEAST
ON THIS FLOOR IS NOW READY TO GO
. AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS
BILL AND AGAIN APPRECIATE YOUR
WORK AND YOUR ASPIRATION. THANK
YOU. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE. DISCUSSION OR DEBATE,
SAYING NONE. SENATOR STERN, YOU
MAY CONCLUDE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I THINK WE NEED
ASPIRATIONS IN LAW AND OUR OUR
LAW TO BE A REFLECTION OF WHAT
WE CAN BE IN CALIFORNIA AND
CALIFORNIA. MENTAL HEALTH CARE
IS NOT A BASIC HUMAN SERVICE. IT
IS TRULY A RIGHT. RESPECTFULLY
