UH, MR LOUDON, GO AHEAD. GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
IN 2020. THE LEGISLATURE PASSED
A B 218, WHICH ALIGN THE PROCESS
FOR UPDATING TRANSGENDER BEFORE
YOU BEGIN. LET LET ME ASK. DO
YOU ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE'S
AMENDMENTS? YES. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU. GO AHEAD. IN 2020,
THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A B 218,
WHICH ALIGNED THE PROCESS FOR
UPDATING TRANSGENDER MARRIAGE
CERTIFICATES WITH THE EXISTING
PROCESS FOR UPDATING BIRTH
CERTIFICATES. HOWEVER DURING THE
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS EARLIER
THIS YEAR JUDICIAL COUNCIL
BECAME AWARE OF INCONSISTENCIES
IN THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE. THESE
ISSUES HAVE FRUSTRATED THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL'S ABILITY TO
DEVELOP FORMS REQUIRED TO
IMPLEMENT A B 218 AND THEREFORE
IMMEDIATE FIXES THAT REQUIRED IN
ORDER TO MEET THEIR INTERNAL
DEADLINES. MAYBE 4 21 SIMPLY
CORRECTS THE STATUTORY LANGUAGE
TO ENSURE THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL
CAN IMPLEMENT THE A B 218
PROVISION BY ITS STATED
IMPLEMENTATION DATE OF JANUARY.
1 2023. FOR WITNESSES AND
SUPPORT. I HAVE TOMMY MARTIN
WITH EQUALITY CALIFORNIA AND
DEANNA GLICK WITH THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR MARTIN. GO
AHEAD. THANK YOU. TARYN
COMMITTEE MEMBERS, TOMMY MARTIN
ON BEHALF OF EQUALITY,
CALIFORNIA WE WORRY SPONSOR OF
HB 218 LAST YEAR, WHICH, AS THE
AUTHORS OFFICE HAS STATED,
STREAMLINED THE PROCESS FOR
TRANSGENDER CALIFORNIANS TO
UPDATE CERTAIN VITAL RECORDS. 84
TO 1 WILL NOW STREAMLINE THE
PROCESS OF JUDICIAL COUNCIL
IMPLEMENTING A B 218. AND THAT'S
WHY WE HAVE THE URGENCY CLAUSE
IN THERE TO ALIGN WITH JUDICIAL
COUNCILS TIMELINE. FOR PRODUCING
THE NEW FORMS AND WHATNOT. SO WE
THINK IT'S ALL MEMBER AWARDS
OFFICE FOR CLOSING THE LOOP ON
THIS, UM AND THANK YOU URGED THE
COMMITTEE'S SUPPORT TODAY AS
WELL. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, MR
MARTIN AND DIANA GLICK. ARE YOU
AVAILABLE ON THE PHONE? I AM
HERE. ALRIGHT, MISS GLICK GO
AHEAD. THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON
. MY NAME IS DIANA GLICK AND I
AM REPRESENTING THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL. TODAY WE ARE IN SUPPORT
SPECIFICALLY OF THE URGENCY
CLAUSE IN THE CELL BECAUSE OUR
HOPE IS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FORMS
IN PLACE ON JANUARY 1 2023 THAT
ACCURATELY REFLECTS THE PROCESS
IS HER NAME AND GENDER CHANGE
FOR MINORS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AND AS YOU I'M SURE
YOU KNOW EACH YEAR IN RESPONSE
TO LEGISLATIVE ACTION, THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL DEVELOPS AND
AMEND THEIR RULES AND FORMS IN
ORDER TO CONFORM WITH THE RECENT
LEGISLATIVE CHANGES. AND THIS IS
A YEAR LONG PROCESS THAT
REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL
REVIEW QUALITY CONTROL TO ENSURE
THAT OUR RULES AND FARMS ARE THE
HIGHEST POSSIBLE QUALITY. THE
CORNERSTONE OF THIS PROCESS IS
THE RECEIPT OF PUBLIC COMMENT,
WHICH OFTEN GENERATES CHANGES
AND IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FORM.
BUT THIS IS BOTH A TRANSPARENT
AND A TIME CONSUMING PROCESS.
AND WHICH IS WHY I,
UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT THE
URGENCY CLAUSE, IT'S A B FOR 21
IS AN ACTION UNDER THE NORMAL
TIME FRAME. WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE
TO UPDATE OUR FORMS IN TIME FOR
A JANUARY 1 2023 IMPLEMENTATION
DATE. FOR THIS REASON, THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL STRONGLY
SUPPORTS THE URGENCY CLAUSE, AND
WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE
CLARIFICATION SET FORTH IN A
BEFORE 21 SO THAT THE FORMS THAT
ARE REQUIRED TO PROCESS THESE
REQUESTS IN THE COURTS WILL BE
ACCURATE AND CLEAR AS THE
RESPONSIBILITIES OF PETITIONERS
TO PROVIDE PROPER NOTICE OF
MINOR PETITIONS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MISS GLICK. ALRIGHT
