YES TO YOUR HOUSE- SB. THREE
WHEN YOU'RE READY YOU MAY BEGIN
. GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS- I'M PRESENTING SP THREE
PERTAINING TO WATER SHUT OFF
PROTECTION ACT- AS MANY OF YOU
KNOW I'VE BEEN LEGISLATING ON
WATER AFFORDABILITY SINCE
ELECTED TO THE LEGISLATURE IN
TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN. IN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN I AUTHORED SB
NINE NINE EIGHT THE WATER SHUT
OFF PROTECTION ACT WHICH
ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS FOR
AGENCIES TO ASSIST THEIR
CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY FALL BEHIND
PAYING THEIR WATER OR WASTEWATER
BILL. SB NINE NINE EIGHT AFFECTS
WATER AGENCIES WITH TWO HUNDRED
OR MORE CONNECTIONS. THAT IS WHY
THE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL
BOARD OF DOCUMENTED AS MANY AS
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOUSEHOLDS
HAVE HAD THEIR WATER SHUT OFF
EVERY YEAR DUE TO THE INABILITY
TO PAY THE WATER BILL. MANY OF
THESE HOUSEHOLDS ARE SERVED BY
SMALLER WATER SYSTEMS WITH FEWER
THAN TWO HUNDRED CONNECTIONS.
BEARD MOST HAVE HOUSEHOLD
INCOMES BELOW 2100% OF THE
FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL. SB THREE
SIMPLY EXTENSIVE PROVISIONS OF
MY NINE NINE SB NINE NINE EIGHT
WATER SHUT OFF PROTECTION ACT TO
THE SMALLER SYSTEMS WITH FIFTEEN
OR MORE SERVICE CONNECTIONS. SB
THREE IS ABOUT HOW YOU NOTICE OF
DELINQUENT CUSTOMER HOW YOU
OFFER THEM ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT
PLANS THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS
BILL I WANNA REPEAT THAT THERE
IS NOTHING IN THIS BILL THAT
PROHIBITS. PROHIBITS A WATER
AGENCY FROM ALTERNATELY
COLLECTING THE PAST DUE AMOUNTS
OR SHUTTING OFF WATER SERVICE.
IF THE CUSTOMER. FAILS TO
PERFORM UNDER THE AGREEMENT.
MEMBERS WE ALL KNOW THAT UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW ACCESS TO SAFE
AND AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER IS
A HUMAN RIGHT. SB THREE HELPS
PRESERVE THAT RIDE FOR NEARLY
ONE MILLION CALIFORNIANS AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
. HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS
MICHAEL CLAIBORNE FOR THE
LEADERSHIP COUNCIL OF JUSTICE
AND ACCOUNTABILITY. GOOD MORNING
TO THE CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS MICHAEL CLAIBORNE AND
DIRECTING ATTORNEY WITH
LEADERSHIP COUNSEL FOR JUSTICE
AND ACCOUNTABILITY. CALIFORNIA
DECLARED ACCESS TO SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER HUMAN
RIGHT IN TWENTY TWELVE BUT THE
REALITY IS THAT ACCESS TO SAFE
TAP WATER IS NOT UNIVERSAL. A
CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE IS THAT
MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
CALIFORNIANS LOST ACCESS TO
WATER IN THEIR HOMES IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN AND AGAIN IN TWENTY
NINETEEN. DUE TO WATER SHUT OFFS
FOR NONPAYMENT. LIMITING WATER
SHUT OFFS IS A RACIAL JUSTICE
ISSUE BLACK FAMILIES ARE TWICE
AS LIKELY AS WHITE FAMILIES TO
EXPERIENCE A WATER SHUT OFF.
LIMITING WATER SB THREE WOULD
HELP BY EXTENDING WATERSHED ARE
PROTECTIONS TO ENSURE THAT
RESIDENTS SERVED BY SMALL PUBLIC
WATER SYSTEMS RECEIVE THE
BENEFITS OF COMMONSENSE
PROTECTIONS ENACTED IN SB NINE
NINE EIGHT IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
INCLUDING NOTICE AN OPPORTUNITY
OPPORTUNITY TO ENROLL IN A
PAYMENT PLAN. WE WORK CLOSELY
WITH SMALL WATER SYSTEMS LIKE
WHEN THEY'RE COMMUNITY SERVICE
DISTRICT IN FRESNO COUNTY AND TO
LEAVE A MUTUAL INTELLECTUALLY
AND HAVE AN INTEREST IN MAKING
SURE THAT THEY CAN IMPLEMENT
THESE PROVISIONS. THE GOOD NEWS
IS THAT THE STATE WATER BOARD IS
CURRENTLY AN ALREADY PROVIDING.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SMALL
WATER SYSTEMS THAT ARE
STRUGGLING TO COMPLY WITH
TECHNICAL MANAGERIAL AND
FINANCIAL- CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS
. AND IT ADDITIONALLY SMALL
WATER SYSTEMS WOULD BENEFIT FROM
LARGER WATER SYSTEMS ALREADY
IMPLEMENTING FULLY IMPLEMENTING
THE PROVISIONS OF SB NINE NINE
EIGHT. AND CAN BORROW WATER SHUT
OFF POLICIES AND NOTICED FORMS.
AS ONE FINAL POINT THE
LEGISLATOR LEGISLATURE ENACTED
AN EMERGENCY PROVISION IN
RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC
REQUIRING ALL WATER SYSTEMS.
REGARDLESS OF SYSTEM SIZE TO
PROVIDE NOTICE AND PAYMENT
PLANS. AND IN OUR EXPERIENCE
SMALL WATER SYSTEMS ARE ALREADY
SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENTING THESE
PROVISIONS THIS BILL WOULD
SIMPLY MAKE THOSE PROVISIONS
PERMANENT. WE THANK SENATOR DODD
FOR HIS CONTINUED LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ISSUE AND URGE THE
COMMITTEE SUPPORT THANK YOU.

AFFORDABLE DRINKING WATER- SHE
SAID THAT SHE IS A MOTHER AND
SHE'S ALSO A MEMBER OF THE
COALITION AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT
THERE IS A CRISIS OF
ACCESSIBILITY AND AFFORDABILITY
FOR WATER IN THE STATE. AND AS A
COALITION THEY SUPPORT THIS
BILL. AND YOU SAID THAT THIS
BILL IS GOING TO HELP FAMILIES
WITH LOW INCOMES NOT HAVE TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING FOR RENT
OR FOOD INSTEAD OF BUYING WATER
FOR THEIR FAMILIES. SHE SAID
THAT- WATER IS A HUMAN RIGHT AND
IT'S NECESSARY FOR US TO LIVE
AND SHE ALSO MADE A POINT TO
MENTION THAT- THEY ARE PAYING
FOR CONTAMINATED WATER AND THAT
THIS WOULD DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACT AND BENEFIT FARMWORKERS
RIGHT NOW WHO ARE DEALING WITH
THESE ISSUES. THANK YOU. THANK

CALIFORNIA BECAUSE KEEPER
ALLIANCE. THANK YOU. ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES HERE IN
ROOM TWELVE ON YOUR WHICH TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT. HEARING TO
KNOW NOW WILL MOVED OPPOSITION.
ANY WITNESSES HERE IN OPPOSITION
. GOOD MORNING CHAIR AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS KIND
ENOUGH AND WANT THIS AND I AM
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL WATER
COMPANIES. WE PROBABLY WORK WITH
OVER THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MUTUALS. MANY OF THEM THE
SMALLEST WATER ENTITIES IN THE
STATE. WE HAVE SUBMITTED AND ARE
STANDING HERE IN OPPOSITION
UNLESS AMENDED FOR SB THREE. WE
DO WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR OF
THE BILL AND THE CO SPONSORS WHO
MET WITH US. VERY EARLY ON IN
THE PROCESS TO HEAR OUR
CONCERNS. WE SHARE IN THE
COMMITMENT TO THE HUMAN RIGHT TO
WATER. BUT TO REALIZE THIS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE MUST
ALSO CONSIDER THE OVERALL HEALTH
OF THE WATER SYSTEMS THAT
DELIVER THIS ESSENTIAL RESOURCE
TO THE COMMUNITY. EXCESSIVELY
IMPLEMENTING THE BILL'S
PROVISIONS WHILE MAINTAINING THE
OPERATIONAL HEALTH OF SMALL
SYSTEMS REQUIRES ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES FROM THE STATE. THIS
BILL DOES MERIT SB NINE NINE
EIGHT BUT THE COST BURDEN AND
IMPLICATIONS DIFFER FOR SMALL
WATER SYSTEMS WHO CANNOT ABSORB
THE ADDITIONAL COST OF UNFUNDED
MANDATES. NO DOUBT THIS PROPOSAL
WILL STRAIN THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE
AND MANAGERIAL CAPACITIES AND
MANY CASES SMALL SYSTEMS ONLY
HAVE ONE OR TWO PEOPLE TO
OPERATE THE SYSTEM AND OFTEN DO
SO AS LONG TEARS ARE ON A PART
TIME BASIS. IN OUR EXPERIENCE
THE SYSTEM'S ALREADY WORK WITH
CUSTOMERS THAT MAY STRUGGLE TO
PAY THEIR WATER BILLS THOUGH
THEY MAY DIFFER FROM THE
STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS OF SB
THREE. DUE TO THE LATER YEARS WE
FEAR THAT THEY MAY HAVE TO CARRY
ADDITIONAL DEBT AND TAP INTO THE
RESERVES IF THEY HAVE RESERVES.
TO PAY FOR ONGOING OPERATIONS.
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER THE
AMENDMENTS TO THIS BILL THAT
WOULD MAKE IT CLEAR WHERE SMALL
SYSTEMS CAN ACCESS TECHNICAL AND
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. FROM THE
STATE AVAILABLE TO THOSE WATER
SYSTEMS UNABLE TO COMPLY WITH
THE COMPLETE COMPLEX PROVISIONS
OF SB THREE. WE OWE IT TO OUR
SMALL SYSTEMS TO FIGURE IT NOW
TO FIGURE IT OUT NOW. RATHER
THAN LATER WHEN A GREATER NUMBER
OF SMALL SYSTEMS WILL BE ASKING
THE STATE FOR ASSISTANCE AND
CONTINUING CONTINUING TO
DELIVER. SAFE AND AFFORDABLE
DRINKING WATER FOR ALL THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION HERE IN THE ROOM.

MISTER CHAIR GOOD MORNING
EVERYONE- WHAT THANK YOU TO THE
AUTHOR I KNOW THAT TIE WAS. A
REALLY APPRECIATE S. B. NINE
NINE EIGHT WHICH WAS THE
ORIGINAL ONE AND YOU KNOW
SOMETIMES WHEN I HEAR THE
COMMENTS I A- YOU KNOW IT BY I
REFLECT I KNOW THAT WE ARE HOW
THE CONSUMERS IN MIND AS WE
SHOULD AND- I DO SOMETIMES WORRY
ABOUT THE SAN INTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. I YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IN THIS BILL OUT YOU KNOW I'M
ON BOARD AND EX SPECIALLY SINCE
WE'VE BEEN DEALING WITH A LOT
OF. THE AFTERMATH OF THE
PANDEMIC WHERE PEOPLE STILL
TRYING TO FIND THEIR FOOTING AND
IT IT'S DIFFICULT AND WE HEAR
THE STORIES FROM OUR
CONSTITUENTS AND- NONETHELESS- I
DO WANT TO ENCOURAGE THE AUTHOR.
I HEARD JOB I BELIEVE IT WAS A
SPEAKER THAT STATED THAT THEY
HAVE SOME CONSIDERATIONS FOR
LANGUAGE JUST YOU KNOW TO
CONTINUE TO SIT DOWN AND SEE
THERE'S A AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
THAT MIDDLE GROUND TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE TAKE FOR THE CONSUMERS
BUT- YOU KNOW. ALSO TAKE A LOOK
IN GOOD FAITH TO SEE THAT WE
MEET THAT WE DON'T END UP
PUTTING MORE ON CONSUMERS IN THE
ATTEMPT TO HELP THEMSELVES YOU
KNOW THAT THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO
SAY IF YOU WOULD CONSIDER JUST.
A CONVERSATION WE WENT A LITTLE
FURTHER AND MAKING SURE THAT WE
HEAR ALL SITES THANK YOU
ABSOLUTELY MISTER THROUGH THE
CHAIR- THAT'S THAT'S BEEN MY MO
SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE MY NINETY
YEAR TO IS ALWAYS STOP THE
OPPOSITION I THINK. I HEARD SOME
THINGS THIS MORNING THAT
RESONATED WITH ME- I WILL WOULD
LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT- WHAT I
RAN THIS BILL IN TWO THOUSAND
TWELVE CHEESE GIVES B. TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. NINE NINE
EIGHT FOR THE LARGER ONES. WE IN
ROOM ONE TWELVE. AND THE
OPPOSITION WENT ALL THE WAY OUT
THE DOOR AND DOWN THE HALL. AND
THE LARGER ONES WERE SAYING
EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS THE
SMALLER ONES ARE SAYING. THAT IS
REALLY NOT MATERIALIZE. A LOT OF
THESE PEOPLE THE CALL TODAY. ARE
ALREADY DOING THE GREAT JOB.
THEY NEED TO BE DOING. TO HELP
THEIR CUSTOMERS BUT NOT
EVERYBODY DOES IT UNFORTUNATELY
IT LEGISLATION. WHEN WE'RE
TRYING TO RIGHT WRONGS. WE
CAPTURE SOME OF THE REALLY.
GREAT ACTORS WHETHER THEY HAVE
TWELVE SIXTEEN OR- TWENTY
MEMBERS- YEAH IN THEIR- YOU KNOW
WHAT. WATER YOUR CUSTOMERS IN
THERE. IN THE WATER COMPANY I'D
SUGGEST THAT- WE CAN WORK WITH
THEM ON TO OUR ON ON ON SOME OF
THESE ISSUES BUT ALSO- AS THE-
AS- THE LEAD WITNESS HAD
INDICATED- BECAUSE THE LARGE
WATER PURVEYORS HAVE ALREADY
DONE ALL THIS. THE INFORMATION
THAT THEY'LL NEED TO SAID IN
MULTIPLE LANGUAGE IS ALREADY
DONE AND COMPLETED THAT WILL BE.
EASILY AVAILABLE TO THEM. THANK
YOU MR TRUMP THANK YOU THANK
YOU. BYE SURE DOLLAR. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN THINKS- CENTER
DOCTOR BRINGS DOES IS WANTED. A
LOT OF THESE SMALL WATER
COMPANIES ARE IN MY DISTRICT AND
ACTUALLY MY FATHER LIVE SHE
OPERATES A SMALL WATER COMPANIES
HAS MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED- BUT I
JUST WANT TO SHARE WITH SOME OF
THE CHALLENGES YOU HEARD A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT- THE CHANCE SO
THERE'S- THERE'S CHALLENGES NOT
ONLY. WITH THEIR OF THEIR
ELECTED- THERE- THEY HAVE
VOLUNTEER ELECTED BOARD YOU
CAN'T GET MOST OF TIMES IT'S
REALLY HARD TO GET PEOPLE EVEN
PARTICIPATE ON THE BOARD
BECAUSE- THEY'RE TELLING THEIR
CUSTOMERS. WE HAVE WATER QUALITY
STANDARDS THAT THEY HAVE TO
UPGRADE WE HAVE LEAKAGE ISSUES
THEY HAVE TO UPGRADE. THERE'S A
LOT OF THINGS THAT THE WATER
REDUCTION. THE STATE'S PAST AND
HOW MANY GALLONS PER DAY YOU CAN
USE SO THOSE ARE ALL CHALLENGES
FOR THESE VERY SMALL WATER SIX.
ON TOP OF THAT WE DID DO SOME
GREAT WORK IN AND PUTTING MONEY
IN THE BUDGET. TO BE TO ALLOW
THEM TO ACCESS SOME OF THOSE
MONIES TO RIGHT. THE THINGS THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS A HAT BUT
THE PROBLEM IS THAT. AS YOU
HEARD THESE SMALL WATER
DISTRICTS HAVE IN AND OWNERS CAN
TALK ABOUT BEAVER WORK WHERE I
GET MY MAIL SO TOWN- THAT IS
VERY SMALL WE HAVE ONE PERSON
THAT RUNS THE WATER DISTRICT
THERE. THAT'S SEWER AND WATER.
IN FOR THAT DISTRICT SO THAT'S
THE SAME PERSON THAT GETS THE
BACK- GOES OUT FIX THE LEAKS WHO
IS SUPPOSED TO WRITE FOR THE
GRANT. TO GET EVEN AND THEY
DON'T HAVE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO DO
ALL THOSE THINGS AT THE SAME
TIME. AS THEIR CUSTOMER BASE
DOESN'T PAY. THEY HAVE TO TRY TO
RAISE THE RATES YET PROP TO
EIGHTEEN WHICH IS ISSUE TO GO
EVEN BE ABLE TO OF. RAISE YOUR
RATE SO THEY'RE IN A BOX. IN A
BOX WITHOUT ANY. TECHNICAL HELP
. AND THEY'RE JUST WE JUST KEEP
PLAYING THESE REQUIREMENTS ON
THEM AND THEY REALLY JUST THROW
THEIR HANDS UP AT SO AT SOME
POINT THERE LIKE. WITH HER EVEN
HARD TO GET SOMEBODY TO WORK IN
THE AT THE WATER DISTRICTS IN
THESE VERY SMALL WATER SIX SO.
THAT'S A SUGGESTION I WANNA I
WANNA. LOOK WEAK THEY DO THE
SAME THING THEY WORK THEY KNOW
THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN YOU HAVE.
LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE YOU
PRETTY MUCH KNOW EVERYTHING WHEN
YOUR CUSTOMERS. AND YOU KNOW
THEIR SITUATION YOU'RE TRYING
TO. PROVIDE THEM. WATER OR OR A
WASTE AS AS SEWER AND WATER
DISTRICTS DO. SO A SUGGESTION
WOULD BE IT YOU KNOW HAVE SOME
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO- YOU KNOW
DO THESE SMALL GRANTS IN A WAY
THAT'S VERY EASY. FOR THEM TO BE
ABLE TO. ACCESS THOSE FUNDS TO
BE ABLE TO DO THE SERVICES THERE
AT THE RATE THEY WERE REQUIRING
THEM TO DO. AND A TEMPLATE LIKE
WAS SUGGESTED SOMEBODY ASKED
ABOUT A TEMPLATE THOSE ARE
THINGS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY.
IF YOU NARROW THAT TWO HUNDRED
DOWN TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY PAYING
THAT MEANS THE OTHER HUNDRED
FIFTY UP TO RAISE THE RATE. TO
GET THE SERVICE THEY'RE STILL
ELECTORATE. THE AT THE PUMP THE
WATER HAVE TO PURIFY THE WATER.
THOSE ARE ALL CHALLENGES FOR
THESE VERY SMALL WATER ISSUE.
I'M A LAYOFF THE BILL TODAY
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT YOU'RE A-
PERSON IT. IS CONCERNED ABOUT
THOSE THOSE ISSUES AS WELL. AND
HOPEFULLY WE CAN COME UP WITH
SOME OF THOSE MITIGATION
MEMBERS. MEASURES THAT HELP.
THIS BILL. BE A BILL THAT WILL
ACTUALLY WORK IN AND SUPPLY THAT
CLEAN WATER THAT WE NEED. BUT
THE SAME TIME. THESE VERY SMALL
DISTRICTS AND YOU HEARD OF IF
YOU HAVE THIRTEEN. OR FIFTEEN OR
FIFTY. YOU'RE YOU'RE ON THE
BRINK OF GOING. BANKRUPT AS IT
IS. AND THERE'S NO CO ABILITY TO
BE ABLE TO RAISE RATES BECAUSE
YOU DON'T HAVE THE- ENOUGH
CUSTOMERS. AND YOU KNOW THERE'S
BEEN MANY BILLS COME DUE ABOUT
COMBINING WATER. IT COMPANIES.
BUT WHEN YOU'RE A TOWN THERE'S
NO WATER COMPANY NEXT TO YOU AND
YOU YOU CAN'T COMBINE WITH
SOMEBODY ELSE. THERE'S NO
OPPORTUNITY SO. I LOOK FORWARD
TO WORKING WITH YOU ON THE BILL.
I'M ASSUMING THIS BILL WILL GET
OUT BUT IT WILL REALLY. BE AT- A
TOUGH BILL- TO BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT. FOR THOSE SMALL WATER
DISTRICTS THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
CENTER ARCO. THANK YOU HAD A
SHUFFLING. LITTLE IT'S
COMPLETELY- SO INTO THE- SIXTEEN
WAS AT THOUSAND EIGHT. THAT YOU
PASSED ORIGINAL- AND YOU
EXCLUDED. THE SMALLER. WATER
COMPANIES BELOW TWO HUNDRED. WHY
AND WHAT HAS CHANGED TODAY. THAT
YOU FEEL THAT NOW THEY SHOULD BE
INCLUDED. INSTEAD YEAH I WISH I
HAD THE GRASP OF A MEMORY PRIOR
TO COVE IT- YOU. SO CLEARANCES
SAY- MY WITNESS WILL PROBABLY
BUT- YOU KNOW I THINK WE HAD A
SIMILAR CONCERNS IT'S SO WE
FELT. LIKE MAYBE WHAT WE SHOULD
DO. IS TO MOVE TO THE LARGER
WATER SYSTEMS FIRST LET'S TRY
THIS- YOU KNOW THE TO MAKE THIS
THING WORK. BY EXAMPLE AND HERE
WE ARE TODAY. YEAH THAT'S
EXACTLY RIGHT SO THE THOUGHT IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN WAS. LET THE
LARGER WATER SYSTEMS FIGURE OUT
HOW TO COMPLY WITH THESE
REQUIREMENTS DEVELOP SHUT OFF
POLICIES DEVELOPED NOTICES THAT
CAN BE USED AS A TEMPLATE FOR
SMALLER WATER SYSTEMS. THAT'S
NOW HAPPENED SB NINE NINE EIGHT
IS FULLY IMPLEMENTED THESE
POLICIES ARE AVAILABLE ON
WEBSITES THEY'RE TRANSLATED INTO
MULTIPLE LANGUAGES- AND I'D NOTE
THAT THE BILL HAS BEEN AMENDED
THERE'S NOT A REQUIREMENT TO
AUTOMATICALLY TRANSLATE INTO
LANGUAGES. IT'S ONLY AT ONLY
KICKS IN IF SOMEBODY REQUESTS-
SO IF THERE ARE NO LANGUAGES
SPOKEN OTHER THAN ENGLISH IN A
SERVICE TERRITORY. THIS BILL
WOULDN'T REQUIRE THAT
TRANSLATION. SO AND FOLLOWING UP
WITH THE. YEAH THAT IS GOOD. I
HAVE I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION
RELATED TO- THE COST THAT IS NOW
ESCAPING ME BECAUSE I'VE JUST
DISCOMBOBULATED OVER HERE NOW-
WELCOME BACK TO THANKS. THANK
YOU CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. M. I DO WANT TO ECHO MY
COLLEAGUES FROM BOTTOM PART CAME
FROM BEAVER YEAH I THINK IT'S
AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA
ESPECIALLY WE HAVE A WITNESS
HERE FROM TULARE AN AREA THAT
IDEA CURRENTLY REPRESENT. I DO
AGREE WITH A LOT OF THE
INFORMATION IT'S IN THE BILL BUT
I HAVE A GRAVE CONCERN THE SAME
CONCERNS THAT MY COLLEAGUE FROM
BALDWIN PARK AND- AND BEAVERS-
BROUGHT FORWARD. AS YOU KNOW I
HEAR FROM WATER SMALL WATER
DISTRICTS IN MY AREA THE SAME
THAT OUR VOLUNTEER VOLUNTARILY
RENDER LEAKED INTO THE WATER
BOARD. AND YOU KNOW WE DON'T
HAVE ANYBODY WITH ONE PERSON BUT
WE DO HAVE SOMEBODY WITH THREE
PEOPLE AND THEM THEY'RE
RESPONSIBLE FOR LIKE I LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BEAVER SAID RE
APPLYING FOR THE GRANT
ACCESSING- AND YOU KNOW IF I
NEED SOMEBODY TO TRANSLATE THE
INFORMATION INTO DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES NGUYEN PREDOMINATELY
THEY DO SERVE JUST A- A ONE
LANGUAGE POPULATION NOW MY AREA
IT COULD BE PREDOMINATELY
SPANISH. BECAUSE WE SERVE A
LARGE UNDERSERVED POPULATION IN
OUR DISTRICT THAT IS
PREDOMINATELY TINO A SIMILAR TO
MY COLLEAGUE FRIEND MADERA AREA-
YOU KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT- THAT
PROFOUNDLY SPEAKS SPANISH SO. I
GUESS I JUST WHEN I I'M GONNA
LAY OFF AGAIN TODAY BECAUSE I
THINK IT'S A VERY GOOD BILL. I
REALLY DO BUT I THINK THAT
WITHOUT ADDRESSING THE CONCERNS
THAT THAT THE SMALL WATER
COMPANIES HAVE ABOUT MAKING SURE
THAT THERE'S FUNDING AVAILABLE.
AND I LOVE THE SUGGESTION FROM
THE ONE COLOR FROM LOS ANGELES
FROM I BELIEVE IT WAS FRIEND
AND- I LOOKED IT UP IT WAS IN
THE LOS ANGELES AREA. AS THE
WILLOW GLEN AND WATER COMPANY
AND THEN ALSO THE SAN ANDREAS
AND THEN WESTERN HEIGHTS SO ONE
OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS MENTION THE
FACT THAT WHY DON'T WE POSTED ON
THE STATE WATER RESOURCES
WEBSITE. AND THEY CAN JUST PULL
IT DOWN AND SEND IT TO THEM. AND
THEN NOT EACH WATER COMPANY
WOULD RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING
THAT DOCUMENT SENDING IT OUT. SO
IF THERE WAS A ROOM AWAY TO POST
IT OR HAVE. THESE I'M ALREADY
HAVE THIS IS IT AVAILABLE TO THE
SMALLER COMPANIES ARE THE LARGER
WATER COMPANIES PROVIDING IT TO
THEM. IS IT AVAILABLE ONLINE
SOMEPLACE WHERE THEY JUST GRAB
IT PULL IT DOWN AND SEND IT OUT.
ADOPTED IN THEIR POLICY. OR IS
IT SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE TO
CREATE BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT THEY
HAVE- ESPECIALLY WITH THE SMALL
WATER COMPANIES THAT WERE
DEALING WITH THAT CALLED IN
TODAY. THANK YOU. ANYBODY GO
AHEAD SIR IS IT IS AVAILABLE AT.
THE KERR QUESTIONS IS AVAILABLE
SIMPLY ASK AND WHERE IS IT AT.
SO SB NINE NINE EIGHT DID
REQUIRE POSTING OF- WATER SHUT
OFF POLICIES ON WATER SYSTEM
WEBSITE SO IT IS AVAILABLE. I
WONDER IF THEY'RE AYE I LIKE THE
SUGGESTION ABOUT KIND OF PUTTING
THAT IN ONE PLACE I WONDER IF
THE STATE WATER BOARD COULD
JUST. LINK TO THOSE SHUT OFF
POLICIES. ON ITS WEBSITE THAT IT
ALREADY HAS ABOUT SB NINE NINE
NINE COMPLIANCE I THINK THAT'S A
REALLY GOOD IDEA. I THINK WE CAN
MAKE THEM DO THAT RIGHT. I'M
JUST SAYING. I THINK IT'S A GOOD
IDEA TO THAT THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT WILL WORK ON. AS HIS BILL
MOVES FORWARD APPRECIATE THE-
COMMENTS BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE
SPOT ON. THANK YOU SIR AND
YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN SOMEBODY
THAT- WORKS TO TRY TO SOLVE
PROBLEMS AND NOT LEAVE ANYBODY
IN THAT IN THAT. IN THE DARKER
IT LEFT BEHIND I'M TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIND THESE
ISSUES SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU I'M GONNA MOVE BACK TO
SENATORS ARE OUR CHOSEN IN THE
CLARITY HAS RETURNED THANK YOU
MY CLARITY HAS RETURNED. SO IT
IN REGARDS TO THE THOUSAND
DOLLAR FINE MIGHT MY BIG CONCERN
KIND OF ECHOES SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES AND THAT. THERE IS
WHEN YOU HAVE A SMALL DISTRICT
LIKE THAT YOU HAVE VERY FEW
PEOPLE TO SPREAD THOSE COSTS
OUT. ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE IT
INCLUDES- TURNS INTO. EACH
RATEPAYER HAVING A FIVE DOLLAR
INCREASE IN THEIR PAYMENT A
MONTH- AND SO THAT DOESN'T SEEM
LIKE A VERY GOOD AND FAIR.
TREATMENT OF THOSE SMALLER.
THINGS SO THERE HAS TO BE SOME
KIND OF FUNDING AVAILABLE. IN
ORDER TO OFFSET. BECAUSE THE
BIGGER COMPANIES CAN ABSORB IT-
THEY HAVE A LOT OF RATE PAYERS
TO BE ABLE TO ABSORB ANY.
INCREASE IN OPERATIONAL COSTS.
BUT THE SMALLER ONES DON'T AND-
AND THAT CAN CREATE COSTS THE
INCREASE THE WATER RATE. IT'S
FOR THE VERY PEOPLE AND
EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM THAT
THEY'RE ALREADY HAVING. AND SO
THOSE ARE MY CONCERNS ABOUT THAT
I UNDERSTAND IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN
WORK ON THESE THINGS THAT BE
AWESOME- BUT I HAVE THAT SHARE
THOSE CONCERNS BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO MAKE A WORSE PROBLEM
THAN. EXISTS ALREADY WITH
RATEPAYERS YEAH MY TAKE AWAY
FROM THROUGH THE CHAIR MY TAKE
AWAY FROM THE COMMENT IS I THINK
THOSE ARE- GOOD COMMENTS
ALTHOUGH. MONEY AVAILABLE FROM
THE STATE FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S
DISOBEYING THE LAW- DOESN'T SEEM
LIKE. AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO DO
THINGS BUT I DO SEE THE POINT
ABOUT A LARGER- WATER COMPANY
CAN HANDLE A THOUSAND DOLLAR
FINE WE'RE MAYBE THE SMALLER
ONES AND SO WE SHOULD BE LOOKING
AT. YEAH THE PFIZER TO MAKE IT
MORE APPROPRIATE SO. WE WILL
LOOK AT THAT CENTER THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATOR RAZA. WELL I
SUPPORT IT I SUPPORT YOU BILL
MUCH- I THINK AS LONG AS WE
DON'T ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN
THE ROOM WHICH IS THE THOUSANDS
OF WATER SYSTEMS THAT ARE OUT
THERE. FUNCTIONING VERY
INEFFICIENTLY WE'RE ALWAYS GOING
TO HAVE THIS ISSUE THAT THE
SMALLER ONES CANNOT AFFORD TO DO
WHAT IS BASICALLY. VERY GOOD
POLICIES I MEAN GIVING NOTICE.
AND OFFERING ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT
PLANS AND ALL THAT AND IN THE
LANGUAGE THAT THEY CAN
UNDERSTAND. IS A VERY VERY
BASIC- NEED AND WE SHOULDN'T
EVEN BE DOING REQUIREMENTS BUT
THE PROBLEM BECAUSE FACT IS THAT
THERE'S THOUSANDS OF THEM. YOUR
SMALL INEFFICIENT AND THE LESS
WE TACKLE THAT FUNDAMENTAL
PROBLEM WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO BE
HAVING THE ISSUE OF SMALL CANNOT
AFFORD TO DO THIS AND CANNOT
AFFORD TO DO A LOT OF THINGS SO.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
BY COLLEGE. WELL THANK YOU ARE
CENTER DOT I. TWO AND LOCAL
CHURN AS RELATES TO. THE SMALL.
OPERATORS HOW DO WE COME TO
NUMBER FIFTEEN. WHY NOT MAYBE I
AS SOMEONE SUGGESTED MAYBE FIFTY
FIFTY CONNECTIONS AT LEAST OR- I
WAS FIFTEEN DERIDE- I BELIEVE
THE IDEA OF THE- YEAH FIFTEEN IS
THE CUT OFF FOR A PUBLIC WATER
SYSTEM SO IT'S AN EXISTING
DEFINITION. COMMUNITY WATER
SYSTEM PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM
THAT'S THE THAT'S THE CUT OFF
FOR YEAR ROUND CUSTOMERS SO IT'S
NOT A NEW DEFINITION. AND I JUST
KNOW THERE IS NO FIND PROVISION
IN THE BILL THERE'S NO THOUSAND
DOLLAR FINE IT'S JUST THE
INTERNET GENERAL CAN ENFORCE
THROUGH AN INJECTION. HE HAS
OPTION OR SHE HAS THE OPTION OF
CORRECT FINDING BUT IT'S NOT- NO
THERE'S NO FIND PROVISION AT ALL
IT'S JUST AN INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
GOT IT. OKAY ALL RIGHT. SURE DOT
WHICH ARE CLOSE APPRECIATE THE
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE I
THINK THIS WILL MAKE- WILL BE
WORKING ON THIS WILL BECOME
BETTER BILL BY THE TIME IT COMES
TO THE FLOOR. BUT I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUES- CENTERED ROD SO. I
THINK THOSE ARE THE UNDERLYING
FACTORS OF WHY THIS BILL IS SO
NECESSARY RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE BUT- WE HAVE A DEEP PASS TO
APPROPRIATIONS OUR MOTION. IT'S
BEEN MOVED BY SENATOR DORADO.

CHAIR BRADFORD MA'AM OF THE
COMMITTEE OTHER THAN THE ONES
HARASSING ME RIGHT NOW SB FOUR
NINETY THREE WOULD REQUIRE THE
C. E. C. TO CONSULT WITH THE C.
P. U. C. IN CAR IN ORDER TO
ASSESS THE ELECTRIC AND HYDROGEN
INFRASTRUCTURE MODEL- EVERY
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO SUPPORT
THE TRANSITION OF MEDIUM AND
HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES TO BEING
ZERO EMISSION BY THE YEAR TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. OTHER CURRENTLY MORE
THAN THIRTEEN MILLION MEDIUM AND
HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS IN THE OTHER
VEHICLES OPERATING UNITED STATES
CONSUMING MORE THAN FIFTY
BILLION GALLONS OF DIESEL FUEL
ANNUALLY WHILE THESE VEHICLES
ACCOUNT FOR ONLY 5% OF ALL
VEHICLES ON THE ROAD THEY'RE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALMOST ONE THIRD
OF TOTAL GHG EMISSIONS RESULTING
FROM ON ROAD TRANSPORTATION. AS
SUCH DECARBONISATION OF THE
SECTOR IS CRITICAL TO MEETING
OUR CLIMATE GOALS HOWEVER AS WE
KNOW THIS TRANSITION PRESENTS A
UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES I IF
LONG HAUL TRUCKS WERE TO TRY TO
BE ELECTRIFIED TODAY DUE TO THE
HIGH MILES TRAVELED AND BATTERY
LIMITATIONS. THEY WOULD REQUIRE
FIVE HUNDRED FOUR TERAWATT HOURS
ANNUALLY THAT'S DOUBLE
CALIFORNIA'S TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
TOTAL ELECTRIC GENERATION FOR
ALL INTERSTATE TRIPS. APART FOR
THE FROM THE ENORMOUS ENERGY
GENERATION THAT WILL BE REQUIRED
TO SUPPORT MEDIUM AND HEAVY DUTY
VEHICLE TRANSITION. THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED IS NOT
AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. AND IS
AT LEAST SEVERAL YEARS AWAY FROM
BEING BUILT OUT. SB FORTY NINE
FOUR NINETY THREE TRIES TO
CREATE SOME PATHWAYS HERE TO
GETTING TO OUR GOALS OF ZERO
EMISSION HEAVY DUTY AND MEDIUM
DUTY VEHICLES BUT YOU'RE TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. BY REQUIRING
INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT AND
DIRECTING CARPETING CORPORATE
THE FINDINGS INTO DETAIL PLAN
FOR THE TRANSITION OF THESE
FLEETS. I THIS IS IN ACCORD WITH
PRESIDENT BIDEN'S ANNOUNCEMENT
EARLIER TODAY THE CALIFORNIA
WILL RECEIVE WAIVERS TO A B.
ALLOW US TO ENFORCE. THE PHASING
OUT OF DIESEL TRUCKS I'D HEAVY
DUTY TRUCKS WE'RE GONNA NEED
TANGIBLE BENCHMARKS IN AN ACTUAL
PLAN IF WE WANT TO MEET OUR
TWENTY FORTY FIVE GOALS- WE'VE
DONE I THINK IT'S A GOOD JOB IN
LIGHT DUTY BUT THE MEDIUM AND
HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE MARKET
PRESENTS UNIQUE CHALLENGES SUCH
AS A LACK OF SUFFICIENT. ENERGY
GENERATION AND RECHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ALL THIS HAS
TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION
WHEN CAUGHT CONTEMPLATING ANY
EMISSIONS REDUCTION PLANNING. AS
BEFORE NINETY THREE WOULD ENSURE
THAT THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF
THE SECTOR TAKING INTO ACCOUNT.
TODAY I HAVE STEVE CRUZ ON
BEHALF OF THE PORT OF OAKLAND
HERE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU STEVE. THAT THANK YOU

GOOD MORNING THE COLOR JOAQUIN
CALLING ON BEHALF OF THE
COALITION OF CALIFORNIA UTILITY
EMPLOYEES EXPECTING OUR SUPPORT
FOR FOUR NINETY THREE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MISTER CHAIRMAN WE
HAVE NO ONE ELSE IN QUEUE AT
THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT WE'LL BRING
YOU BACK TO THE COMMITTEE OF
YOUR ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
AS RELATES TO THIS ISSUE SENATOR
ALSO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR JUST WANNA ASK OF
THE AUTHOR OF AN ISSUE THAT HAS
CONTINUOUSLY COME UP ABOUT-
ESPECIALLY THE HEAVIER TRUCKS
AND SOMETHING THAT- MY COLLEAGUE
FROM LONG BEACH HAS REYES ALSO
IS THE- TRUCK THE- THE
RESPONSIBILITY WHERE IT LIES THE
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY- TO
ADDRESS REPLACEMENT OF TRUCKS
AND- WITH A MASSIVE- MISS
CLASSIFICATION PROBLEM SO WE
HAVE- WORK TRUCK DRIVERS- KLAUS
MISCLASSIFIED AS INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS. THE FINANCIAL
BURDEN FALLS ON THEM- SO I JUST
WONDER WHERE IN THIS. COULD THAT
BE TAKEN UP OR SHOULD THAT BE
TAKEN UP- I DON'T KNOW IF MY
WITNESS HAS AN ANSWER TO THAT- I
I'M I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IN
THE SCOPE OF OUR PARTICULAR
STUDY BUT IT'S SOMETHING WE CAN
TALK WITH YOUR STAFF ABOUT OKAY.
P. STATE THAT THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR PROBABLY ARE. THANK
YOU- MISTER CHAIR- SENATOR MEN I
THINK THE- RECOMMENDATION BY THE
TURKISH TRUCKERS ASSOCIATION IS
REALLY WELL PLACED- RECENTLY I
WAS MEETING WITH A GROUP OF
FARMERS WHO USE SOME OF THAT THE
LARGEST EQUIPMENT IN THERE UP.
PROCESSING OF FOOD PRODUCTS AND
THE QUESTION THEY ASKED OF ME IS
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO MOVE TO-
TWO NEW VEHICLES THAT HAVEN'T
BEEN CREATED YET AND THEIR
THEIR- HAVE TEN. TEN VEHICLES
AND THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL
BATTERY THAT CAN SERVICE THESE
ENGINES ADEQUATELY AND SO
BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO BE
ASKING THEM TO NOT DO WHAT
THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND I
DIDN'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THEM
AND SO I THINK THE MORE THAT WE
HAVE THE TRUCKING ASSOCIATION.
AS PART OF THIS DISCUSSION
THEY'RE THE HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES
THAT ARE MOVING. EVERY MOST OF
THE PRODUCE THAT'S GROWN IN
CALIFORNIA GOES TO THE PORTS ARE
GOES ON A TRUCK THAT THAT LEAVES
THE STATE AND WE ABSOLUTELY NEED
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE BEING
PRACTICAL WHEN WE'RE ASKING THEM
TO CHANGE. OUT THERE THEIR
EQUIPMENT AND WE DID A REALLY
POOR JOB OF IT WHEN WE HAD
TRUCKERS THAT WERE INDEPENDENT
CAUGHT. CON INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS- BECAUSE WE REQUIRED
THEM TO GET MORE. EFFICIENT
VEHICLES AND THEN WE OUTLAWED
THEM FROM BEING INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS WITHIN A REALLY
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME SO WE'RE
PUTTING THESE INCREDIBLE
BURDENS. ON THE INDUSTRY WITHOUT
KIND OF UP A CLEAR VIEW OF WHERE
WE NEED TO GET IN FIVE TEN
FIFTEEN YEARS SO I THINK WE
NEED. WE NEED THE TRUCKING
ASSOCIATION AT THE TABLE AS WELL
SOME HOPE HOPEFULLY YOU'LL
CONSIDER THAT I THINK THIS IS A
GOOD BILL WHEN IT SUPPORTED TO
IT. TODAY BUT BUT I THINK WE
NEED TO BE REAL CAREFUL HOW WE
MOVE FORWARD WITH THE HEAVY DUTY
VEHICLES. THANK YOU SENATE
COPIER. SKINNER KNOWN NEUMANN AT
THANK MISTER SHOW A USUAL CENTER
COVER EUROPE. THE ME TOO SAID
BETTER THAN WHAT I TO SAY THIS
THING- I THINK THAT SAYS FOR OR
OR VERY. WELL TAKEN- BUT TO
PARTICULAR OUT LIGHTEN MEDIUM
DUTY WORK TRUCKS- TO HER POINT
AND YOU KNOW THAT'S THAT'S GOT
BE A CARRY THAT'S REALLY HARD
TO. BOTH ELECTRIFIED ALSO NOT
NECESSARILY OF MINIATURE FOR
THESE YEARS SO. I AM OF A BILL
SB FOUR FIVE THE WORKS TO
CATALYZE. THE ADOPTION OF. LIKE
MEDIUM DUTY TRUCK. FOR FUEL CELL
- SPLIT MY BILLS COMING UP ALL
RIGHT BUT YOU KNOW SERVICE
PLEASE DO. THE AS A PER ON THEM
AND I ALSO LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A
AUTHOR OF LIKE. THANK THANK YOU
SO MCCALL ADJECTIVE. THANK YOU.
ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS GROW. I
DON'T HAVE A I JUST HAVE A
COMMON I ECHO ECHO COMMENTS. IN
NIGHT I REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ALL UNDER. THE SPECIFIC
IN THIS VALLEY THERE'S A VERY
LOW CONNECT- THE ELECT COME IN
THE- YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE
ELECTRIFICATION OF OUR FORKLIFTS
THAT ARE ALREADY BEING
IMPLEMENTED BY LARGE IN MAJOR
FARMERS OR FARMERS SMALL FARMERS
AS WELL. BUT THEY'RE USING SEMI
TRUCK TYPE EGG NATURAL GAS
GENERATORS TO BE ABLE TO CHARGE
THOSE ELECTRIC FORKLIFTS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE. CONNECTIVITY
INTO AT THIS BURDEN ON TO THAT
AGAIN. AND SEE IF YOU GO TO SOME
OF THESE FARMING AREAS IN IN THE
AREA WERE TO MYSELF AND SENATOR
CAFIERO AND OTHERS REPRESENT.
YOU DO HAVE PEOPLE WANTING TO
COMPLY YOU REALLY DO- SENATOR
EGGMAN SUBDISTRICT YOU HAVE
PEOPLE IN IN- FARMERS THAT IN
INDIVIDUALS THAT WANT TO COMPLY.
SO THEIR PURCHASING THESE
ELECTRIC FORKLIFTS BUT THEY
DON'T HAVE CONNECTIVITY TO
CHARGE AND SO THEY'RE BRINGING
IN SEMI TRUCK. GAS GENERATORS
HUGE MASSIVE GAS GENERATORS TO
CHARGE THE ELECTRIC FORKLIFTS.
AT NIGHT IN ORDER TO OPERATE
THEM DURING THE DAY AND COMPLY
WITH THE- AND THE PROVISIONS-
AND- PREVIOUS LEGISLATION. SO I
THINK IS THIS COULD DISP
CONTINUES TO MOVE. FORD WITH
DEEP. OF THE- AND YOU HAVE TO DO
TO REALISTIC WAY THAT'S THAT'S
A- YOU CAN'T SAY PROVIDE. JUST
LIKE YOU KNOW WITH EVERYBODY WAS
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ELECTRIC
FORKLIFTS BUT THERE'S NO
ELECTRICITY TO PROVIDE CHARGING
FOR THE FORKLIFT SO THEREFORE
HOW DO YOU CHARGE THE FORKLIFT
AT YOUR CARD TO USE. AND SO I
THINK THAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT
HOW PEOPLE OPERATE ON THE LAND
OUR ON THE GROUND. AT THE SAME
WITH THIS BILL- YOU KNOW
CHANGING AND THE WAY THAT WE- UP
AT SEND PRODUCE OUT. A BIG HUGE
DEAL WITH TOP THREE FOOD
PRODUCING COUNTIES IN THE WORLD
OR WHAT I REPRESENT. OF YOU TAKE
CALIFORNIAN CHEN I THINK WE HAVE
THE TOP EIGHT FOOD PRODUCING
COUNTIES IN IN THIS IN THE
WORLD- RIGHT IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WE HAVE ONE TWO AND
THREE. AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO
CHANGE THE WAY THAT THEY
TRANSPORT PRODUCE YOU HAVE TO
HAVE A MEANS IN A WAY TO BE ABLE
TO CHARGE THOSE. OR HAVE
SUSTAINABILITY ON THE BATTERIES.
YOU KNOW- AND WE ALSO NEED TO
LOOK AT WHAT SENATOR BRADFORD
THE CHERUB BROUGHT FORTH. AND ON
YOU KNOW THE SUPPLY CHAIN LINE
AND WHERE THOSE THAT IT THAT-
MINERAL FOR THOSE BATTERIES
COMES FROM. AND. YOU KNOW ARE WE
REALLY WILLING TO. YOU KNOW MAKE
THIS. UP AND KNOWING THAT IT
CREATES YOU KNOW BASICALLY SLAVE
LABOR IN THAT DOMETIC REPUBLICAN
OF THE CONGO AND CHILD LABOR.
ACCORDING TO TWO MAJOR SITES
AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AND
UNICEF. SO I JUST I JUST THINK
THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THINGS IN
A CLEAR- PERSPECTIVE WHEN WE
MOVE POLICY FORWARD SO THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR DOLLARS. WILL GIVE
YOUR CLOTHES FOR YOU. THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD.
LOOK THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE
WAY BEFORE WE SET A TARGET ON
HOW WE'RE GOING TO ELIMINATE ALL
THESE. HEAVY DUTY AND LIGHT
MEDIUM DUTY VEHICLES THAT WE USE
EVERY DAY. AND UP A PLAN SET FOR
SO I COMMEND YOU FOR BRING THIS
BILL FOR IT. I SUPPORT IT I DO
THINK YOU SHOULD TAKE THE
SUGGESTIONS OF THE- TRUCKING
ASSOCIATIONS WE CAN MEET THOSE
BARS. AT THE END OF THE DAY WE
HAVE TO HAVE. REAL A GOOD
ANALYSIS OF WHAT THE SYSTEM IS
LACKING WHICH WE KNOW- WE ARE
VERY LACKING IN THE ABILITY TO
BE ABLE TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY
AND- YOU KNOW WE PASSED A WATER
BOND IN TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN.
AND WE PUT MONEY IN THERE FOR
STORAGE. AND THE ESTIMATE IS
TWENTY THIRTY BEFORE WILL EVEN
GET THE PERMITS TO BUILD SITES
RESERVOIR WHICH IS BEEN. STUDIED
FOR FORTY YEARS SO IF WE THINK
WE'RE GOING TO GET BY TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. THINK ABOUT THAT
TWENTY FORTY FIVES RIGHT AROUND
THE CORNER. ANYWHERE NEAR
MEETING THESE TARGETS OF WHAT
THE LEGISLATURE IS PUTTING FACE
WE HAVE TO HAVE THIS SO. I'LL BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL TODAY I
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE
THOSE. AMENDMENTS BECAUSE I
THINK IT'LL STRENGTH IN YOUR
BILL. AND ALLOW US TO A GOOD.
GOOD DECISIONS ON TARGETS THAT
ARE ALREADY OUT THERE ON HOW
WE'RE GOING TO MEET THIS BECAUSE
AT THE END OF THE DAY. WE'RE
GONNA STRUGGLE TO GET THERE
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT YOU
HEARD FROM. MANY TO MEMBERS ON
THIS PANEL. THAT THEY'RE TALKING
ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION WE DON'T
REALLY KNOW WHERE WE'RE HEADED
SO THERE SHOULD BEEN. FIRST THIS
IS GOOD POLICY BUT IT'S BEHIND
THE TARGET SO- GOOD JOB THANK

COMMENTS- JUST WANT TO REITERATE
THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
CLOSELY WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS
INCLUDING CALIFORNIA TRUCKING
ASSOCIATION TO TRY TO MAKE THIS
BILL BETTER AS WE MOVE IT
FORWARD- AND ALSO TO REITERATE
THIS DOES NOT CHANGE POLICY WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS CREATE
BENCHMARKS. AND REAL ROAD MAP
FOR HOW WE GET TO THIS AMBITIOUS
GOAL IT'S AN IMPORTANT CALL
BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO
DECARBONISE OUR ECONOMY. AT THE
END OF DAY WE DO FACE A CLIMATE
CRISIS BUT TRYING TO BALANCE
THAT. IN WAYS THAT ARE REFLECT
ECONOMIC REALITY. WHILE TRYING
TO ACTUALLY MEET THESE GOALS IS
TO THE GOAL THIS BILL SO THANK

REQUIRE THE CDC TO ASSESS EVEY
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED
TO SUPPORT THE LEVELS OF
ELECTRIC VEHICLE ADOPTION
REQUIRED TO MEET THE STATE'S
GOALS THROUGH TWENTY THIRTY FIVE
VERY SIMILAR TO SENATOR MEN'S
BILLS BUT ON LIGHT DUTY SIDE.
SPECIFICALLY MY BILL WILL
REQUIRE THIS EASY TO ASSESS THE
DEPLOYMENT OF CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE TO LOW INCOME
COMMUNITY MEMBERS RURAL
COMMUNITIES CARSHARING AND
RIDESHARING DRIVERS AND
RESIDENTS OF MULTI FAMILY
HOUSING FACILITIES. IF THE CDC
FINDS OF THESE GROUPS ARE NOT ON
TRACK TO MEET THE TWENTY THIRTY

AREN'T EVEN CHARGING STAY MANY
AND NETWORK. FOUNDED IN TWO
THOUSAND NINE TO DATE WE HAVE
OVER EIGHTY THOUSAND CHARGING
STATIONS DEPLOYED ACROSS NORTH
AMERICA AS THE SENATOR NOTED THE
STATE HAS BEEN PROJECTING
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS- ACROSS THE
STATE HOW TO TWENTY THIRTY FOR A
FEW YEARS NOW- BUT REALLY IT'S
KIND OF TIME TO. TAKE THAT
ANALYSIS TO THE TO THE NEXT
LEVEL OR TO TAKE IT DOWN TO. A
LEVEL IN THE SENSE OF FIGURING
OUT WHAT ARE THE INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDS FOR VARIOUS UNDERSERVED
DRIVER SEGMENTS THE WORK TODAY
HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN
FIGURING OUT WHAT TYPES OF
INTEREST CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
DO WE NEED WHERE DO WE NEED IT.
ARE WE ON TRACK TO MEET THOSE
GOALS AND NOW WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE WE'RE DOING THAT AS WELL
FOR THE VARIOUS UNDERSERVED
DRIVER SEGMENTS- NOTATED BY THE
DOT BY THE SENATOR AND THESE ARE
TYPICALLY GROUPS. THAT HAVE THE
MOST TROUBLE ACCESSING CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE THESE ARE MANY
DRIVER SEGMENTS THAT WE AS A
COMPANY ARE FOCUSED ON. AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE FULLY
ELECTRIFYING TRANSPORTATION WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE WE ARE
DEPLOYING CHARGERS EVERYWHERE
WERE DRIVERS GO BY MAKING SURE.
ALL COMMUNITIES ARE ACCESSING
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND WE
THINK THIS BILL WILL HELP- KIND
OF. CREATE THAT ROAD MAP TO MAKE
SURE WE'RE ON TRACK SO FOR THOSE
REASONS RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT C. TO NAME
AN ORGANIZATION. HEY THERE MY

CATASTROPHIC. BOMB WARMING ABOVE
ONE POINT FIVE DEGREES CELSIUS
AND WE KNOW THAT TRANSITION
MISSIONS ARE ONE OF THE LARGEST
PIECES OF THAT PUZZLE. BUT ALSO
ONE OF THE MOST RATE FOR TO
REDUCE. WITH THIS REMINDER OF
IMPENDING CLIMATE KLOPP'S WILL
BE RENEWED CALLS SO IF WE MOVE
AWAY. FROM CARBON IN
TRANSPORTATION AS IT SHOULD BE.
HOWEVER WE CAN'T DO THAT
ACCURATELY IF WE ARE NOT LEASE
OUR FOCUS ON THE BEARS THAT
SPECIFICALLY. IMPACT FRONTLINE
AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES
WHERE YOU KNOW THAT RENTERS AND
THOSE LIVING IN APARTMENTS
CONDOS FACE GREATER BARRIERS
HAVING ELECTRIC VEHICLE BUT WE
STILL HAVE A CLEAR PICTURE AS WE
SHOULD. WE HAVE THINGS LIKE THE
RACIAL HOME OWNERSHIP GAP
DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTE TO THE ANY
COLLECTOR VEHICLE ACCESS I'M
PLAYING FIELD. FOR PEOPLE OF
COLOR 30% LESS LIKELY TO OWN A
HOME THAN THEIR WHITE
COUNTERPARTS. WE KNOW THE
COMMITTEES A COLOR RELIANCE ON
RIGHTS ARE GONNA MEET DIRECTLY
IMPACTS THEIR DAILY LIVES. THE
CALIFORNIA HAVING THE HIGHEST
NUMBER WRITER DRIVERS
APPROACHING THREE THOUSAND. BUT
WE DO KNOW. WE DON'T KNOW ALL
THESE THINGS AND HOW MUCH- HOW
MUCH WE NEED TO UPGRADE ELECTRIC
PANELS FOR LONGER HOUSEHOLDS
PROPORTIONAL TO THE RATE THAT WE
WISH. THAT WE NEED TO ELECTRIFY.
A STATE UNDER CURRENT STATUTES.
SB FIVE A SEVEN IS NEEDED TO
ASSESS JUST HOW UNEVEN CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE PLAYING FIELD IS.
ON THE TWENTY TWENTY TO BUDGET
YOU ALL WORKED REALLY HARD ALONG
TO ADVOCATES TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE HAD ON PERSON AND NUMBERS. OF
INVESTMENTS. FOR LOW INCOME.
PEOPLE AND Z. V. IN THE
VEHICLES- BUT WE A WE DON'T HAVE
A FULL PICTURE OF WHAT'S GOING
ON. SB FIVE SEVEN HELP INSURE
THAT WE'RE SPENDING EVERY DOLLAR
CG. STRATEGICALLY AS POSSIBLE.
WE'RE NOT CONTRIBUTING TO AND
REALLY GETTING UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES TO DELAYED EXPOSURE
TO AIR POLLUTION. AND LESSER
OPTIONS TO ENGAGE IN THE GREEN
ECONOMY THAT WE'RE BUILDING UP.
SB FIVE A SEVEN FITS PERFECTLY
INTO THE POLICY CONTAINER THE
BILL'S LIKE AB TWO ONE TWO
SEVEN. SB ONE THOUSAND HAVE
BUILT. ONCE A HELPING TO ACHIEVE
THE GOALS THAT YEARS OF
EXECUTIVE ORDERS A FIRM THAT WE
ARE WHOLLY SHIFTING AWAY. FROM
FOSSIL POWER VEHICLES. WE ARE WE

AT THIS TIME THERE ARE NO
FURTHER LINES IN Q. THANK YOU
WILL NOW BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE OTHER ANY QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS SENATOR RUBIO. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR- I THINK THIS
IS EQUALLY- A GOOD BILL S. OP MR
MEN'S BILL AND I WANT TO BE
ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR AND I THINK
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT TO YOU
KNOW I'VE GRAPPLED WITH FOR A
LITTLE WHILE IN TERMS OF. TRYING
TO REACH OUR GOALS BUT WE
CONTINUE TO IN MY OPINION MISSED
THE MARK IN TERMS OF REALLY
UNDERSTANDING THE NEEDS OF LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES AND WHAT WE
NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE COMING ALONG BECAUSE
THEY'RE- MOST OFTEN BEING LEFT
OUT OF THE CONVERSATION AND I
HEAR THAT FROM MY COMMUNITY AS
I'M SURE THAT GREAT CENTER FROM
LONG BEACH DOES AS WELL SO. I
JUST THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT
BILL TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
NEEDS AND TACKLE THE ISSUES YOU
KNOW HOW DO WE GET OUR APP
UNDERSERVED AND TARA. LOW INCOME
FAMILIES TO WANT TO PARTICIPATE
IN SO I APPRECIATE YOU DOING
THIS I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU
SENATOR COPY ARE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- APPRECIATE THIS BILL AS
WELL I JUST WANNA. WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE DOING IS
THOROUGH- A NEEDS ASSESSMENT AS
POSSIBLE AND EMBRACE SOME ISSUES
THAT I THINK- HAVE.
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST- THE
VALLEY- ONE IS IF YOU PUT THE
CHARGING STATIONS ON HIGHWAY
FIVE. YOUR BENEFITING THE
TRAVELING PUBLIC IT'S GOING THE
FASTEST THEY CAN'T THROUGH THE
CENTRAL VALLEY- BUT IS ARE
TOTALLY AND ACCESSIBLE TO
RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY- AND SO. IF YOU
PUT HIM IN NINETY NINE THEN
YOU'RE PUTTING A MORE PEOPLE
LIVE- MORE GENERALLY THERE'S AYE
AYE DENSER POPULATION- THERE'S A
REAL NEED TO DIFFERENTIATE
BETWEEN THE TWO. TYPES OF
CHARGING DEVICES- AND IF YOU'RE
GONNA PUT THEM IN I REALLY THINK
WE HAVE TO LOOK WHERE WE SHOULD
DEPLOY THEM. WHETHER THEY SHOULD
BE COMMERCIAL CENTERS BUSINESS
CENTERS- OR RESIDENTIAL QUITE
FRANKLY I THINK THE COMMERCIAL
AND THE RESIDENTIAL WIN OVER I
MEAN THE COMMERCIAL AND THE
BUSINESS. WENT OVER THE
RESIDENTIAL BECAUSE- THE
RESIDENTIAL THEN END UP GETTING
ASSIGNED TO ONE OR TWO PEOPLE AS
OPPOSED TO THE MORE MORE-
HEAVILY. TRAVELED SITES- AND SO
FOR THAT REASON I THINK WE NEED
THE FAST CHARGING DEVICES
OTHERWISE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
EIGHT HOURS TO SIT AROUND AND
WAIT FOR THEIR VEHICLES TO
CHARGE- I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO
HAVE A VERY FRANK. DISCUSSION
ABOUT PG&E X. S. ACCESSIBILITY
AND THE ISSUE THAT WAS RAISED BY
MY GOOD FRIEND FROM BAKERSFIELD
IS REALLY TRUE PG&E IS HAVING
REAL PROBLEMS WITH MAKING
CONNECTIONS AND IT'S A IT'S- WE
CAN MOVE TO ALL ELECTRIC
VEHICLES. BUT IF THEN P. GENIE
CAN HOOK ANYBODY UP AND WE HAVE
TO USE DIESEL CHARGING. CHARGING
DEVICES- THAT DEFEATS THE WHOLE
PURPOSE ON END AND THEN I
ABSOLUTELY THINK WE HAVE TO HAVE
UNIFORMS CHARGING PORTS- THIS
WHOLE IDEA THAT- WE CAN. PEPPER
THEM WITH WITH SPECIALTY PORTS
AND THEN WE CAN'T ACCESS THEM
WHEN WE NEED THEM DOESN'T MAKE
ANY SENSE TO ME SO I THINK
THAT'S- WE- I REALLY OF- THE
REFLECTION ON DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES BUT IT'S REALLY
BROADER THAN THAT WE NEED TO
CREATE. IT A SYSTEM THAT IS
ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE IN AND-
AND RIGHT NOW THAT JUST DOESN'T
EXIST THERE THERE IF YOU STOP ON
HIGHWAY FIVE- AT THE- SENTINELLE
IS STOP TESLA'S GOD. A MILLION
CHARGING DEVICES AND THEY'RE
ALWAYS EMPTY AND- AND IT'S JUST
NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE SO-
THOSE ARE THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS
I'M GONNA SUPPORT YOU ABOUT
TODAY. THANK YOU ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS QUESTION CENTER DALLAS
. I GOT HIS ATTENTION AS SAID
RIGHT NEXT TO HIM. THANKS FOR
READING THIS BEFORE I HAVE A
QUESTION- ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT- I THINK YOU KNOW WE TALK
ABOUT THE- UNDERSERVED AND
DISADVANTAGED REGION WE AND YOU
GET A CHARGING STATION THERE BUT
IS THERE ANY- I DON'T ACTUALLY
LOOK AT THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILL
I JUST LOOK THE REPORT WAS THERE
ANY ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO. WE
TALK ABOUT. THOSE LOW INCOME
FOLKS AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES HAS ANYBODY DID AN
ANALYSIS DOES THIS BILL DO THE
ANALYSIS ON THE ABILITY TO BE
ABLE TO FIRST. AFFORD THE V. IN
THE FIRST PLACE. IF THERE'S A
CHARGING STATION A BILL AND THEN
THE COST TO ACTUALLY CHARGE IT
ONCE YOU. HAVE THE VEHICLE- I
KNOW THAT IN OUR- MY DISTRICT
WHERE WE HAVE- WE'VE BEEN
ATTEMPTING TO TRY TO INCENTIVIZE
AND HELP- PUT STATIONS.
STRATEGICALLY THROUGHOUT THIS
VERY RULE AREA. BUT THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE ABLE TO BUY THE EEVEE
OR THE LOW IT DISADVANTAGED FEET
COMMUNITY CANNOT FOR THE V. AND
THAT THE SAME TIME. THERE'S A
COST. TO CHARGING THAT SO WILL
THIS BILL ANALYZE THAT- DATED I
THINK THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL. WE
TALK ABOUT. THE DISADVANTAGED
FOLKS ARE THEY GONNA BE ABLE TO
ACTUALLY GET THE VEHICLE THE
FIRST PLACE AND ARE THEY GONNA
BE ABLE TO FOR TO CHARGE THE
VEHICLE. YET THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OF THROUGH THE CHAIR US SENATOR
DOLLY OF THIS JUST TALKS ABOUT
THE INFRASTRUCTURE BUT TO YOUR
POINT VERY MUCH- UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING I THINK- VEHICLES
IS IN ALICE'S POINTS OUT- I
THINK. THE VEHICLE PART OF
COURSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE TACKLING AS WELL IN UNISON
I THINK- WHAT WHAT WE HAVE IN
OUR DATASET IN TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR TO TWENTY TWENTY NINE WE
SHOULD GET COST PARITY WITH.
WITH CARS GOING DOWN AS LOW AS
MAYBE THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
BUT THEY'RE STILL EQUITY ISSUES
ARE STILL BARRIERS TO THAT OF
COURSE WE KNOW THAT BUT THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS TO BE PUT
IN PLACE FIRST. IN ORDER FOR
FOLKS TO FEEL LIKE THEY'RE BEING
INVESTED IN IN THIS EEVEE SPACE.
SO THIS IS WHY THE
INFRASTRUCTURE PIECE HERE IN
ASSESSING NOT JUST DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES BUT RURAL
COMMUNITIES- I THINK IT TAKE
NOTE TO WHAT SENATOR OF AYE IT
WAS SAYING WITH THE COMMERCIAL
BUSINESSES. BUT ALSO THE COST OF
CHARGING ALL OF THAT IN THOSE
THOSE ARE- GOING TO BE DEVELOPED
IN THIS BILL- THROUGH THE CDC TO
ASSESS EVERYTHING. MAP IT OUT
AND THEN PROVIDE SOLUTIONS AND I
WOULD HOPE TO. AGAIN CONTINUE TO
EXPLICITLY PUT MORE- IN THIS
BILL TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER FOR
THAT WELL JUST. JUST OUT ON THE
I THINK THAT'S REALLY. WHAT
REALLY NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS IF WE
NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT THE- ANNUAL
INCOME IS OF A- PERSON WHO'S
DISADVANTAGED AND- THEN DO THE
MATH TO FIGURE OUT. EVEN IF A
CAR'S THIRTY THOUSAND AND THEN
IF THE IF THE STRUCTURES PUT IN
PLACE WHICH IS. GONNA BE A COST
IN. THE RISING. COST. OF
ELECTRICITY ELECTRICITY HAS NOT.
IS GONNA GO DOWN WHEN WE NEED
ALL THE- REDUCTION OF
ELECTRICITY IS NOT GONNA GO DOWN
CAN GO UP YOU HAVE TO BUILD ON
THAT INFRASTRUCTURE SO. I KNOW
THIS IS THIS IS ALONG THE SAME
LINES AS CENTER MEN'S BILL WE
NEED TO PUT. ALL ALL THE
INFORMATION IN SO WE CAN REALLY
TARGET. THE PEOPLE WERE TRYING
TO TARGET WHICH IS THOSE. LOW
INCOME DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE. TYPICALLY PLACES WHERE
THE AIR QUALITY IS REALLY THE
WORST. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU
TO LOOK AT THAT PIECE OF IT
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY
WHAT TO MAKE A REALLY GOOD
DECISION ON. NOT JUST CITING
THEM BUT THE BUILDING FOR THOSE
PEOPLE TO ACCESS- THESE EVEY
VEHICLES IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL
IN THE FUTURE. AND WE DID MUCH
OF THAT WORK LAST YEAR TO WAVING
THE SALES TAX CLEAN CARS FOR ALL
IN ALL AIR QUALITY DISTRICTS- WE
HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO SO I
LOOK FOR TO WORKING WITH YOU ON
THAT THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR DORADO. THANK YOU AND I
JUST WANT TO ECHO- WHAT MY
COLLEAGUE JUST SAID ABOUT THE
INFORMATION THAT'S NEEDED I HAVE
A BILL. THAT WOULD REQUIRE MORE
OF A SOCIO ECONOMIC- ANALYSIS.
WE SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF
GETTING THE INFORMATION THAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ANOTHER
INFORMATION ESPECIALLY ECONOMIC
IMPACT. AND THAT'S WHAT USUALLY
IS MISSING BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WHICH IS
GREAT WHAT ABOUT ECONOMIC IMPACT
SO. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT-
YOU'RE DIGGING IN ON THAT PIECE
IN THIS BILL THANK YOU THANK
YOU. THANK YOU ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. ALL WELL I
TOO WANT TO. THANK THE AUTHOR
FOR THIS BILL BUT I DO HAVE THE
SAME CONCERNS THAT SENATOR
CAFIERO AND SOONER DALLY REYES
ADDS TO. I THINK WE'RE TAKING
THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG APPROACH
OR WHAT COMES FIRST AND WENT FOR
FOLKS CAN'T AFFORD TO CHICKEN OR
THE EGG. RIGHT NOW SO- AND I
PARTICIPATED. IN A HEARING A
COUPLE YEARS BACK IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY AND INDIVIDUALS-
TESTIFIED THAT. ONE THEY
COULDN'T AFFORD AN ELECTRIC CAR
SOLD IF YOU CALIFORNIA ELECTRIC
CAR THEN I SEE NO NEED OF.
CHARGING STATION A COMMUNITY BUT
THE- INDIVIDUAL SAID EVEN IF I
COULD. AFFORD ELECTRIC CAR.
THEY'RE NOT BIG ENOUGH TO MEET
MY NEEDS INDIVIDUAL SAID I'M A
FARM WORKER MY WIFE'S A DOMESTIC
WORKER AND I HAVE FOUR KIDS TO
PLAY SOCCER I COULD NEVER. ALL
MY EQUIPMENT AND ALL THOSE
THINGS STILL BULLISH ON THE
CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE TO COME
TO THE REALIZATION SOME FOLKS
JUST WILL NEVER OWN ELECTRIC
CARS CHAU. HAVING INFRASTRUCTURE
IS IMPORTANT BUT I THINK WE HAVE
TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE
STRATEGIC AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO GET TO. AT THE
END OF THE DAY OF MAKING SURE
THEY'RE IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS
THAT. PEOPLE EVENTUALLY WILL
WANT TO OWN ONE BUT A LOT OF
FOLKS. AS CENTER DALLAS HAS
CAN'T AFFORD IT SO ON
APPRECIATE. WHAT YOU'RE DOING
HERE ALL WHICH LIKE CLOSE I
WOULD JUST SAY- HEAR EVERYTHING
YOU'RE SAYING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WORKING
ON THE VEHICLE SIDE I THINK THIS
PROVIDES MARKET SIGNALS TO
PRIVATE. YOU KNOW CAPITAL AS
WELL TO BE ABLE TO- HELP US OUT
WITH SOME OF THESE- IMPORTANT-
NEEDS THAT WE HAVE ACROSS THE
STATE ITSELF. WITHOUT A
RESPECTFULLY ASK PRIVATE. THANK
YOU. WE HAVE A DO PASTOR. TO IS
OUR MOST. SPIN MOVE BY SENATOR.
