THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON MILITARY
AND VETERANS AFFAIRS WILL NOW
COME TO ORDER. GOOD AFTERNOON.
SO I AM SENATOR JOSH NEWMAN. I'M
FILLING IN PER THE SENATE RULES
FOR OUR SHARE. SENATOR
ARCHULETTA, WHO IS UNDER THE
WEATHER AND IS ABSENT. WE WILL,
AS TODAY AS EVER. WE CONTINUE TO
TAKE SOME PRECAUTIONS TO MANAGE
ONGOING COVID 19 RISKS. THE
SENATE CONTINUES TO WELCOME THE
PUBLIC AND HAS PROVIDED ACCESS
TO BOTH IN PERSON AND
TELECONFERENCE PARTICIPATION FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT FOR ALL
INDIVIDUALS WISHING TO PROVIDE
PUBLIC COMMENT, THE PARTICIPANT
TOLL FREE NUMBER AND ACCESS CODE
ARE POSTED ON OUR COMMITTEE
WEBSITE AND I WILL ANNOUNCE THEM
NOW. TODAY'S PARTICIPANT NUMBER
IS 8772 TO 6. 8163 AGAIN
87722681 AND THE ACCESS CODE IS
5338635. AGAIN. THE ACCESS CODE
IS 5338635 AS THE CHAIR. I WILL
MAINTAIN DECORUM DURING THE
HEARING, AS IS CUSTOMARY IN ANY
INDIVIDUAL WHO IS DISRUPTIVE.
MAY BE REMOVED FROM THE REMOTE
MEETING SERVICE OR HAVE THEIR
CONNECTIONS MUTED. WE ARE
HOLDING OUR COMMITTEE HEARINGS
HERE IN THE STREET BUILDING.
TODAY I ASK ALL MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE TO BE PRESENT IN ROOM
2200 SO WE CAN ESTABLISH OUR
QUORUM AND BEGIN OUR HEARING. UM
SO WE DO NOT YET HAVE A QUORUM.
I HAVE ONE OTHER MEMBER WITH ME.
SENATOR EDMUND IS HERE AND
BECAUSE OF THAT, LET US START
HEARING TODAY AS A SUBCOMMITTEE
, WE WILL NOT CALL VOTES UNTIL A
QUORUM IS ESTABLISHED. WHICH IT
HAS NOT BEEN YET. WE HAVE SIX
MEASURES ON THE CALENDAR TODAY
FOR OUR OWN CONSENT. BUT LET US
MOVE FORWARD WITH OUR FIRST
HEARING, AND I BELIEVE AH, IT IS
SUSPENSE. SUSPENSE IS A B 3 25
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S IRWIN. WELCOME
ASSEMBLY MEMORY FOR A MEMBER.
YOU MAY PROCEED WHEN READY.
THANK YOU, SENATOR NEWMAN. AND
SENATOR EDMUND. I AM HERE TO
PRESENT A B 325, WHICH WOULD
ESTABLISH THE MILITARY VETERANS
MILITARY DISCHARGE UPGRADE GRANT
PROGRAM. THIS PROGRAM, SUBJECT
TO AN APPROPRIATION WOULD HELP
FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS. FOR FREE
OR LOW COST WOULD EDUCATE
VETERANS ABOUT DISCHARGE
UPGRADES AND ASSIST QUALIFYING
VETERANS AND FILING DISCHARGE
UPGRADE APPLICATIONS. RECENT
CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENTS
RELATING TO TRAUMATIC TRAUMATIC
BRAIN INJURIES AND PTSD HAVE
EXPANDED THE POPULATION OF
VETERANS WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR
AN UPGRADE TO THEIR DISCHARGE
STATUS. WE WILL BENEFIT WHEN
VETERANS SECURE THE SERVICES AND
BENEFITS THAT ARE OWED TO THEM.
THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU, SO I
DO NOT BELIEVE WE HAVE A PRIMARY
WITNESS. IS THAT CORRECT? DON'T
HAVE A PRIMARY WITNESS, BUT WE
HAVE A WITNESS THAT WOULD LIKE
TO SAY A FEW WORDS. OKAY AND
YOU'RE WELCOME TO DO THE
CONSTRAINTS REGARDING LIKELY
HEARINGS, TECHNOLOGY
CONSIDERATIONS AND TECHNOLOGY
CONSIDERATION. COMMITTEE CHAIRS
MAKE INSTITUTE TIME LIMITS ON
TESTIMONY. SO EACH SIDE WILL BE
PERMITTED A MAXIMUM OF THREE
MINUTES FOR THEIR TESTIMONY,
BOTH IN SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION
IF WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO WOULD
LIKE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT,
PLEASE PROCEED TO SEE YOU, SIR.
YOU, SIR? BRAD STOP HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF VETERANS SERVICE
AGENCIES. FEDERAL STATE LAW
DENIES AND MANY OF THEM. MANY OF
THE VETERANS HAVE EXTENDED
BENEFITS TO THE U. S. ARMED
FORCES, WHO HAVE SEPARATED UNDER
CONDITIONS ARE LESS THAN NORMAL.
THEY'RE TYPICALLY DENIED FEDERAL
FEDERAL ELIGIBILITY. RECENT
COURT CASES HAVE BROUGHT TO
LIGHT SIGNALS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF VETERANS WHO DESERVE
DISCHARGES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
SERVICES BRANCHES REVIEWED A
LESS THAN HONORABLE DISCHARGE
DEPRIVES VETERANS OF MOST OF THE
SERVICES AND BENEFITS THAT WERE
EARNED TO THEM BY THEIR SERVICES
SUCH AS JONAS TOTAL. CALDERON
MUST WORK TO ENSURE THAT
CALIFORNIA VETERANS ARE ABLE TO
ACCESS AND SECURITY DISCHARGE
UPGRADES THAT WERE MOST MOSTLY
DENIED TO THEM OF THEIR SERVICE.
THESE BENEFITS ARE DENIED TO ALL
MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS.
CALABASAS FROM SO SORRY, RIGHT
MANY GRASS TO LOCAL VETERAN
SERVICE PROVIDERS AND WILL HELP
CONNECT VETERANS AND APPLYING
FOR THEIR COMPLICATED
APPLICATIONS THAT ARE MUCH
NEEDED TO MODIFY IT. THE
MILITARY SERVICES. OKAY

FASTER HOME PILOT PROGRAM.
MEDICAL FOSTER HOMES ARE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR ELIGIBLE
VETERANS TO LIVE IN AN
AFFORDABLE PRIVATE HOME
ENVIRONMENT RATHER THAN
INSTITUTIONS. SETTING 21 19 IS A
PATHWAY TO MAKING THAT HAPPEN.
THE INTEGRITY AND SAFETY OF THIS
PROGRAM, AND ITS PARTICIPANTS
ARE STRICTLY OVERSEEN BY THE U.
S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERAN AFFAIRS
AND CALIFORNIA STATE AUDITOR. WE
HAVE BEEN COORDINATED CLOSELY
WITH DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES TO ENSURE THIS PILOT IS
EFFECTIVE AS POSSIBLE. AND ON
THE LINE. WE HAVE DANA COOPER

THE V, A HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE
AND MEGHAN MATTHEW FROM THE

OKAY LET'S COME BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE HEARING ROOM. UM MY
COLLEAGUE. ANYTHING TO THANK YOU
. WELL, I DO. I HAVE TO HAVE
SOME QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE. MR
MR. MR. MR RIP IN. UM. SO THE
GOVERNOR VETO EDITION 2019.
BECAUSE ONE OF THE ONE OF THE
ISSUES IS BECAUSE BECAUSE THE V
A S ASSAULT ENTITY THAN THERE
ARE NO CALIFORNIA RULES AND
REGULATIONS, SO THERE IS SOME
FEAR. IN THE LBGT COMMUNITY THAT
THESE HOMES WOULD NOT BE BOUND
BY ANY KIND OF CALIFORNIA
PROTECTIONS AND THEREBY OPEN UP
JUST A REGULAR BED PROTECTIONS.
ESPECIALLY FOR A LOT OF OUR
OLDER LGBTQ FOLKS. SO CAN YOU
TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT SAFEGUARDS
ARE IN THERE TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE
ARE AFFORDED EVERY RIGHT IN
CALIFORNIA? IN A V, A HOME IN
OUR STATE. BUT CERTAINLY NOT MY
INTENTIONS BY OBVIOUSLY IS THE
AUTHOR OF THIS BILL IS SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE VERY CLOSELY
MONITORING AND YOU KNOW THERE'S
A FEDERAL PROTECTIONS AS WELL.
BUT I WILL ACTUALLY ASKED THE
VIA EITHER MEGAN UM OR DANA TO
COMMENT ON THAT BECAUSE THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.
AND WE ARE ADDRESSING IT, BUT
MAYBE I'LL JUST REACH OUT TO OUR
EXPERT WITNESSES ON THE PHONE
LINE. HAVE THEM AND MAYBE GO
INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL IF
IT'S SATISFACTORY TO YOU. IF THE
IF THE CHAIR WOULD ALLOW IF THE
CHAIR WOULD ALLOW ALRIGHT. I'M
SORRY. WE HAD A LITTLE AWAY OF A
MEMBER WHO IS APPARENTLY THE
WRONG HEARING ROOM. SO WE DO NOT
HAVE A QUARANTINE. I WISH YOU'D
TERMS OF MILITARY WOULD BE VERY
HELPFUL RIGHT NOW. SO PLEASE
PROCEED. WE JUST NEEDED
PERMISSION FOR HIS WITNESS TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS. PLEASE LET'S
HAVE THE WITNESS ANSWERED
QUESTIONS. WELCOME, SENATOR
GROVE. CHANGE SEATS. CAN YOU
CHANGE SEATS? SURE THE LEFT BY
ALL MEANS. LET'S DO THAT. IN THE
SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOT LEAN IN
MAN TO THE WITNESSES. IF YOU
COULD PLEASE EXCUSE US AND
PROCEED. OR MAYBE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FLOOR. YOU
MIGHT WANT TO PROMPT YOUR
WITNESS TOGETHER. THEY HAVE THE
PERMISSION OR MEGAN. MAYBE LET'S
GO WITH DANA COOPER AND NATIONAL
DIRECTOR OF THE VETERANS HOME
AND COMMUNITY CARE. ARE YOU ON
THE LINE? I AM COMING HERE. YES,
WE HAVE. YOU CAN'T MOVE. YEAH SO
THERE BE A YOU KNOW, AS YOU
MENTIONED, UM WE DID ALL OF OUR
FEDERAL REGULATIONS AGAINST
DISCRIMINATION AS WELL. AND SO,
UH, WE ANY ANY OF THE MEDICAL
FOSTER HOME, UM, THAT PROVIDES
AH CARE TO ANY OF OUR VETERANS.
IS BOUND OF TO ALSO FOLLOW THE
DISCRIMINATION LAWS. SO WE DO
NOT, UM, DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, NATIONAL
ORIGIN. LANGUAGE AGE SEX, WHICH
INCLUDES GENDER, IDENTITY AND
TRANSGENDER STATUS. ON THEIR
SEXUAL AND STATION PREGNANCY,
MARITAL STATUS. PARENTAL STATUS
, POLITICAL AFFILIATION AND THE
LIST. UH AS, UM AH, AS DESCRIBED
. WE HAVE OUR OWN DIRECTIVE
AGAINST DISCRIMINATION. UM ARE
BHH DIRECTED 10 19 IS OUR
DISCRIMINATION DIRECTIVE. WE
FOLLOWED THAT ALL OF OUR FOSTER
HOMES ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND, UM
, TRAINING. UM AND WHICH MEANS
DISCRIMINATION POLICIES ARE
DISCUSSED. AND THEN ALL OF THEM
ARE FOLLOWED BY OUR PRIMARY CARE
TEAMS IN WHICH WE PROVIDE A
JUDGE AND GENDER APPROPRIATE
CARE. ALL OF OUR TEAMS ARE
REQUIRED TO, UM UNDERGO TRAINING
. UM YEAH, AND IF I IF I CAN'T
THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU
FOR ALL THAT, BUT HOW DOES THAT
CHANGE THE ISSUE THAT THAT THE
SAME BILL WAS? RICHARD BY THE
GOVERNOR IN 2019 FOR THE VERY
FOR THE ISSUES THAT I ASKED I'M
NOT GO AHEAD, MAN. GOOD. FROM.
SO THE CONCERN WAS THAT THAT
THEY WOULDN'T RECEIVE
APPROPRIATE CARERS. MY
UNDERSTANDING AND UM, YOU KNOW,
I'M I'M WE WERE KIND OF BAFFLED
HIS LIFE AS IT WOULD DETAILED
AND CARE THAT THE VÀ PROVIDES.
UM YOU KNOW, WE ENSURE THAT THE
APPROPRIATE CARERS PROVIDED, UM
YOU KNOW? AH. OKAY THANK YOU. UM
SO THAT'S MY CONCERNS WITH THE
BILL ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AND I WAS
BRIEFED ON THIS THIS MORNING. UM
AM I AM YOU KNOW I'M NOT HERE TO
STOP YOUR BILL TODAY, AND BUT I
WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS. UM I
WANT TO LOOK INTO THIS MORE AND
JUST, YOU KNOW, MAYBE LOOK AT
SOME OF THE OTHER HOMES AND
OTHER PARTS OF THE OF THE
COUNTRY AND JUST KIND OF EXPLORE
IF THEY HAVE HAD ANY ISSUES OR
IF IT'S JUST IF IT'S A FEAR OF
AN ISSUE VERSUS A REGULAR
REGULAR ISSUE ITSELF, SO I THINK
I THINK YOU AND YOUR SPONSORS
FOR ATTEMPTING TO ASK ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS. AND THANK YOU,
SENATOR. SO FROM OUT FOR MY
BENEFIT, OTHER THAN FOR IT IF
YOU COULD JUST TO REITERATE WHAT
IS WHAT IF ANYTHING IS DIFFERENT
BETWEEN THIS BILL AND THE BILL
TO WHICH MR HICKMAN IS
REFERRING, WHICH WAS V TO VETO
IN THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE,
IT SEEMED TO US A LARGELY A
JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTE. THEY
WEREN'T QUITE READY TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH IT. AND SO THE
GOVERNOR AT THAT TIME DIDN'T
WANT TO TAKE ON A PROJECT. SINCE
THEN. WE'VE WORKED VERY CLOSELY
WITH DSS TO TRY TO WORK WITH
THEM ON AN AGREEMENT AND THAT'S
BEEN ONGOING AND IT'S BEEN GOING
VERY, VERY WELL. SO WE ARE STILL
CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THEM AND
LOOK FORWARD TO THIS AS A
HOPEFULLY MOVES FORWARD TODAY.
BUT AND SO SENATOR EGGMAN AS FAR
AS STATES, THERE'S ABOUT 18
STATES THAT HAVE SOME SORT OF
PROGRAMS, AND I CAN PROVIDE YOU
THAT LIST TO MAYBE HELP YOUR
RESEARCH. BE A LITTLE BIT, UM,
SIMPLER. IF YOU'D LIKE TO CHECK
IN ON THAT, SO I CAN GET YOU
THAT LIST AS WELL. I THINK THAT
WOULD BE APPRECIATED. SO THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FLORA. WE
DO NOT YET HAVE GROWN ANY
CUSHIONS. WELCOME BY THE WAY.
AND I THINK THE AUTHOR FOR THE
BILL AND AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME
TO BE GLAD TO MOVE IT FOR YOU SO
THAT WE CAN TAKE A VOTE ON IT.
YOU KNOW WHEN I THINK ABOUT AH,
MHM. THIS BEING A PILOT PROGRAM
. IT SHOULD ACTUALLY BE A
PROGRAM THAT'S AVAILABLE TO ALL
OF OUR VETERANS HERE AND THERE,
AND I KNOW THAT I HAVE A LOT OF
VETERANS WORLD WAR TWO. STILL
LIVING KOREA AND VIETNAM
VETERANS THAT WOULD REALLY,
REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS,
SO THANK YOU. POINT WELL TAKEN.
WE DO NOT SO WE DO NOT YET HAVE
A QUORUM. SHALL WE CANNOT YET
MAKE A MOTION BUT YOUR YOUR
INTENT IS NOTED ASSEMBLYMAN
FLOOR IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE,
JUST THANK YOU TO THE COMMITTEE
AND STAFF FOR THE TIME FOR
ALLOWING OUR WITNESSES TO JUMP
ON KIND OF LAST MINUTE TO CLEAR
UP SOME OF THIS AND THIS IS A
HUGE PRIORITY TO OUR DISTRICT
INTO MY VETERAN'S COMMUNITY.
BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF OLDER
VETERANS THAT DO NOT NEED TO BE
INSTITUTIONALIZED, AND THERE'S A
LOT OF FAMILIES THAT WOULD LOVE
TO HOUSE THEM AND TO SET THIS
PROGRAM UP, I THINK IS A
BENEFIT, AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR EYE. BUT WHEN THAT TIME IS
CORRECT, THANK YOU. WE WILL DO
IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND
SHOW AT THIS TIME WE HAVE THREE
OF THE FOUR MEMBERS NEEDED TO
ESTABLISH A QUORUM. I SUPPOSE WE
