THANK YOU CHAIR AND US SENATORS
CURRENTLY IN CALIFORNIA EVERY
FOOD SERVICE WORKER MUST GO
THROUGH A TRAINING ON FOOD
SAFETY THIS TRAINING IS PAID FOR
BY THE EMPLOYEE AND IT IS
REQUIRED EVERY THREE YEARS. A
RECENT NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE
FOUND THAT SOME OF THE MONEY
THAT WAS COLLECTED THROUGH THIS
FOOD HANDLER TRAINING WAS PAYING
FOR LOBBYING EFFORTS BY THE
NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION
THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE THE
EMPLOYER TO PAY FOR THE FOOD
SAFETY TRAINING AND THE
EMPLOYEES TIME COMPLETING THE
TRAINING. ADDITIONALLY IT WOULD
REQUIRE THE STATE TO COMPILE A
LIST OF ELIGIBLE TRAINS PROVIDE
MORE TRANSPARENCY ABOUT
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE THERE ARE MANY
SITUATIONS WHERE THE STATE HAS
REQUIRED TRAINING TO BE PAID BY
AN EMPLOYER FOR INSTANCE HERE IN
OUR CAPITAL- AND IN OTHER
PLACES- WE HAVE A TRAINING THAT.
OUR EMPLOYEES DO AND THAT WE PAY
FOR. KELLY ADDITIONALLY SAFETY
TRAINS ARE REQUIRED BY
CALIFORNIA DIVISION OF
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY.
THIS BILL WOULD ENSURE THAT
WORKERS WILL NOT BE FORCED TO
PAY FOR FOOD SAFETY TRAINING
PROGRAM THAT DIRECTLY BENEFITS
THE EMPLOYER WITH ME TODAY WE
HAVE A- MY WINTERS FOR A FOOD
SERVICE WORKER AND WE ALSO HAVE
SOME ROUTE TYRA TYRA MON.
REPRESENTING ONE FAIR WAGE. IF
YOU COULD SPEAK IN THE
MICROPHONE BEHIND THE PLEXIGLAS
UNFORTUNATELY. OKAY HI MY NAME
IS SERGEANT RAMAN I'M THE CO
FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF ONE
FAIR WAGE AND A PROFESSOR AT UC
BERKELEY WHERE NATIONAL
ORGANIZATION ABOUT THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND RESTAURANT AND SERVICE
WORKERS AND TWO THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED INDEPENDENT SMALL AND
MEDIUM SIZED RESTAURANT OWNERS.
ALL OF WHOM ARE HERE TO SUPPORT
SB FOUR SEVENTY SIX WHICH WOULD
STOP THE EGREGIOUS MISUSE OF
MONEY FROM LOW WAGE WORKERS TO
SUPPORT CALIFORNIA'S FOOD
HANDLER TRAINING PROGRAM. A FEW
YEARS AGO- HELP AFTER LEADING
FOR MANY YEARS- FIGHTS TO RAISE
THE MINIMUM WAGE IN CALIFORNIA
AND MANY OTHER STATES. I WAS
LEAKED SOME INFORMATION FROM
SOMEBODY INSIDE THE NATIONAL
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION SOME
EMAILS SHOWING THAT THE MAJORITY
OF THE NATIONAL RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION'S LOBBYING DOLLARS
DON'T COME FROM MEMBER
CORPORATIONS LIKE APPLE BEES AND
I HOP. THEY COME FROM WORKERS
MILLIONS OF WORKERS WHO HAVE
BEEN FORCED TO PAY FOR FOOD
HANDLER TRAINING THROUGH THEIR
MONOPOLY FOOD HANDLER TRAINING
COMPANY SERVE SAFE I GAVE THIS
INFORMATION TO THE NEW YORK
TIMES IN DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY
TWO. AND IN JANUARY THEY
PUBLISHED A COVER STORY AFTER
DOING INVESTIGATION THAT SHOWS
FROM TWO THOUSAND SEVEN WHEN
THEY BOUGHT SERVE SAFE TO TWENTY
TWENTY ONE THEY DOUBLED THEIR
LOBBYING DOLLARS BY ACTUALLY
GOING TO STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA.
AND GETTING BILLS PASSED FORCING
WORKERS TO TAKE THIS TRAINING
AND PAY FOR IT NOW CALIFORNIA
PLAYED A SPECIAL ROLE IN THIS
HISTORY. CALIFORNIA IS TWO
MILLION OUT OF THE FOURTEEN
MILLION WORKERS NATIONALLY ONE
SEVENTH OF THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT'S GOING TO LOBBY AGAINST
WAGE INCREASES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
IS COMING FROM THIS STATE AND
ACTUALLY FROM THE LOWEST WAGE
WORKERS IN THE STATE WHO'VE BEEN
FORCED TO TAKE THESE TRAININGS.
THE AVERAGE APPLEBEE'S WORKER
FOR EXAMPLE HERE IN CALIFORNIA
IS TOLD BEFORE THEY START WORK.
GO GET SERVE SAFE NOT FOOD
HANDLER TRAINING GO GET SERVE
SAY GOOGLE IT SIR SAFE AND COME
BACK AND SHOW ME OF PAID FOR AND
GOTTEN A CERTAIN CERTIFICATION.
BEFORE YOU CAN START THE TWO
MILLION WORKERS IN CALIFORNIA
INCLUDE FULL SERVICE RESTAURANT
WORKERS FAST FOOD WORKERS
GROSSLY FOOD HANDLERS CATERING
WORKERS. COTTAGE HOME FOOD
WORKERS ALL KINDS OF WORKERS
WERE FORCED TO TAKE THIS
TRAINING AND PAY FOR IT AND
LOOK. ANY OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH
TRAINING PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING
IS PROVIDED. BY THE EMPLOYER AND
THE WORKER IS NOT MADE TO PAY
FOR IT AND WE DO THAT BECAUSE WE
WANT THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE
IN OUR SOCIETY TO HAVE ACCESS TO
PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION. THAT
IS THE POINT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
THAT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MOST
VULNERABLE YEAH ACCESS TO IT. IF
THE NRA BELIEVES IF THE
CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION BELIEVE THIS WOULD
BE AN UNDUE BURDEN ON EMPLOYERS
TO PAY FOR THIS TRAINING
IMAGINE. PUTTING THIS BURDEN ON
MILLIONS OF THE LOWEST WAGE
WORKERS IN THE STATE HOW MUCH
MORE OF A BURDEN IT IS FOR THEM.
THAN FOR THEIR EMPLOYERS THIS
BILL WOULD CREATE FREE MARKET
COMPETITION BY ALLOWING FOR MANY
DIFFERENT SUPPLIERS PROVIDERS OF
THIS TRAINING TO BE KNOWN TO
THESE INDEPENDENT RESTAURANT
OWNERS SO THAT THEY CAN ACCESS.
NOT JUST SERVE SAFE WHICH FOR SO
LONG HAS BEEN SEEN AS THE ONLY
MONOPOLY FOOD SAFETY TRAINING
PROVIDER BUT KNOWING THAT THERE
ARE MANY OTHER OPTIONS FOR THEM
FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS. THE
RESTAURANT WORKERS AND THE
RESTAURANT OWNERS AND OUR

MINUTES. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
GOOD AFTERNOON CENTERS MATT
SUTTON CUP RESTAURANT HOST. LOVE
THE SENATOR LOVE THE AUTHOR HAVE
MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE BILL-
UNFORTUNATELY THE NARRATIVE THAT
YOU'RE HEARING AND WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT SOME OF THE WITNESSES.
ISN'T CORRECT FROM THE
CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION'S PERSPECTIVE I
HAPPEN TO WORK FOR THE
ASSOCIATION WHEN THIS WAS COMING
THROUGH THE CAPITAL THIS CAME
THROUGH THE CAPITAL OF THE TIME
WHEN CENTER ALEX PADILLA WAS
RUNNING SOME BILLS ON FOOD
SAFETY TRAINING. WHAT WAS
LEADING UP TO THAT POINT WAS THE
FACT THAT WE HAD THREE DIFFERENT
COUNTIES RIVERSIDE SAN DIEGO AND
SAN BERNARD DINO THAT HAVE THEIR
OWN HEALTH REQUIREMENTS THEIR
OWN HEALTH TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
THOSE FOR TYPICALLY DONE IN
CLASSROOMS THOSE WERE EXPENSIVE
UP TO SIXTY DOLLARS PER TEST. SO
THAT WAS INCREDIBLY EMPLOYEE
UNFRIENDLY AND IT ALSO MADE
ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO HAVE FOOD
SAFETY STANDARDS THAT DIFFERED
FROM COUNTY TO COUNTY. SO THE
HEALTH INSPECTOR COMMUNITIES
THAT WE WORK WITH DAY IN DAY IN
DAY EVERY DAY- THROUGH THE
PANDEMIC A LONG BEFORE. THE
HEALTH INSPECTOR COMMUNITY
SENATOR PIA AT THE TIME ALEX
PADILLA- THE DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH AND A HUGE
COALITION OF PEOPLE WORKED ON
THE FOOD SAFETY PROGRAM. AND
THAT'S WHAT LED TO SB SIX OH
TWO. SB SIX OF TWO WAS BACKED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH
HERE ALTHOUGH THE FLAG. A NUMBER
OF EXEMPTIONS THAT WERE MADE FOR
NON RESTAURANT ENTITIES THAT
DON'T HAVE TO LIVE UP TO THE
SAME FOOD SAFETY TRAINING WHICH
STILL EXISTS TODAY. SO THAT WAS
THE LANDSCAPE THAT LED UP TO
THIS WE INSISTED ON THREE THINGS
THAT WERE EMPLOYEE PROTECTIVE IN
THE EXISTING LAW. ONE OF THOSE
IS THAT THE PRODUCT THE END
CERTIFICATE IS THE PROPERTY OF
THE EMPLOYEE. THE OTHER ONE IS
THAT IT'S PORTABLE IT'S PORTABLE
FROM JOB TO JOB REGION TO
REGION. AFFORDABILITY I HAVEN'T
SEEN THIS BEFORE AND MAYBE IT
EXISTS BUT WRITTEN INTO THE
STATUTE IS THAT THERE MUST BE
ONE PROVIDER. AT FIFTEEN DOLLARS
OR LESS THIS WAS BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN. THERE ARE TONS
OF PROVIDERS OUT THERE NOW THEY
GET AS LOW AS EIGHT DOLLARS
MAYBE EVEN LOWER I KNOW EIGHT
DOLLARS BECAUSE MY SON JUST WENT
OUT AND GOT ONE. ASKED ME IF IT
WAS LEGITIMATE BECAUSE IT WAS
NOT FROM SERVICE. OF COURSE IT'S
LEGIT. SERVE SAVE HAPPENS TO BE
LIKE KLEENEX WE ALL REFER TO
THIS BRAND WHEN WE JUST WANT A
PIECE OF TISSUE. THAT'S WHAT
SERVE SAFE IS IT IS TRUE THAT
SERVE SAFE IS THE GOLD STANDARD.
IT'S THE BEST IN CLASS. IT'S
WHAT WE THINK IS THE BEST
PRODUCT. SO I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE SPONSORS SOME OF THE
SPONSORS HAVE A BEEF WITH THE
NATIONAL RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION.
ARE LOBBYING DUES ARE PAID BY
OUR MEMBER DUES. PERIOD NO
QUESTION. SO THAT'S WHERE WE
STAND ON THE ISSUE WE THINK
FIFTEEN. THE BURDEN ON TO THE
EMPLOYER IS A PRO INAPPROPRIATE
BECAUSE OF THE ROBUST DEBATE
THAT TOOK PLACE TEN YEARS AGO
THAT HAD SO MUCH CONSENSUS
BEHIND IT IN WHICH BY THE WAY.
INCLUDED THE LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS. SO THAT'S
WHERE THINGS STAND ON THE ACTUAL
PRODUCT IN THE FOOD SAFETY
TRAINING. OF COURSE RESTAURANTS
CONTINUE TO HAVE MASSIVE LOSSES
FROM THE PANDEMIC CLOSURES.
THOSE ARE NOT CHOICES THOSE WERE
DRIVEN BY THE STATE AND THE
SIXTY THREE DIFFERENT HEALTH
DEPARTMENT YOUR RESTRICTIONS.
THE TOLD US WHEN AND IF WE COULD
OPERATE. MEANWHILE WE HAD A 100%
OF OUR COSTS. WE'RE NOT OUT OF
THE WOODS ON THAT'S GONNA BE
YEARS BEFORE RESTAURANTS GET
BACK ON THEIR FEET. 85% OF OUR
RESTAURANTS ARE INDEPENDENT
COMMUNITY BASED RESTAURANTS.
THIS IS A HUGE KASHIF IT
INCREDIBLY INAPPROPRIATE TIME.
AND COMPLETELY AND DOES TEN
YEARS OF REALLY GOOD POLICY. FOR
THESE REASONS WERE POST THANK
YOU. THANK YOU MISTER CERTAIN.
PRETTY ELSE. TESTIFYING AGAINST
SINCE. APRIL'S JUST WISHING TO
SPEAK AGAINST THIS THAT WOULD BE
THE TIME FOR YOUR NAME AND
AFFILIATION. OKAY. STUBER THE
PHONE LINES NOW. MODERATORS OR

I THIRTY FOUR PLEASE GO AHEAD.
PERISH ON BEHALF OF LEGAL AID AT
WORK IN STRONG SUPPORT. THANK
YOU NEXT CALLER PLEASE. AS CHAIR
WE TRUSTED YOU ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THAT WOULD TO.
BRING IT BACK TO. US THE
CEREMONY ONE OF THE THINGS THAT-
MISTER SUTTON. I LOVE THE
LOBBYIST LOVE THE RESTAURANT-
SAID WAS THAT THAT PEOPLE'S
CERTIFICATE IS PO IS PORTABLE SO
DO YOU HAVE ANY- ANY KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT- YOUR WITNESSES ABOUT THE
AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO YOU KNOW.
GET THEIR CERTIFICATE AND THEN
GO SOMEPLACE ELSE- IF THERE'S
ANY HISTORY OF THEM PEOPLE
HAVING TO GET RE AUTHORIZED OR
IS THERE A DATABASE THAT
MAINTAINS THAT AUTHORIZATION
CERTIFICATE EVEN THOUGH IT'S PUT
PORTABLE SO I'LL ACTUALLY HAVE
MY SPONSORS SPEAK ON THAT. THE
WORKERS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE
TRAINING OVER AND OVER AGAIN
EVERY THREE YEARS THERE'S A
WORKER TRAINING THERE'S A
MANAGER TRAINING THIS IS NOT A
PORTABLE LICENSE OF SKILLS
LICENSE. IT'S A SAFETY TRAINING
AND ANY OTHER SAFETY TRAINING
THE EMPLOYER PROVIDES FOR FREE
ON EMPLOYER TIME IT'S NOT A
SKILLS LICENSE I WANT TO BE VERY
CLEAR ABOUT THAT. OKAY THANK YOU
SO IT'S EVERY EVERY THIRD YEAR
YES THIS RENEWED EVERY THREE
YEARS QUESTION THOUGH. IS THERE
A DATABASE IS THEIR DATABASE
THAT MAINTAINS WHO'S TAKEN THE
TRAINING AND WHO HASN'T NOT THAT
I KNOW IT'S UP TO THE WORKER TO
HAVE A AT EIGHT THERE'S THEIR
CERTIFICATE WILL SAY WHAT YEAR
THERE'S IS VALID UNTIL. BECAUSE
THAT MAKES SENSE THAT MAKES
SENSE MIGHT BE ANOTHER BILL TO
HAVE SOME KIND OF DATABASE THAT
WE CAN EASILY MORE EASILY
TRACKED THANK YOU FOR THE ADS- I
WHEN I HAD A QUESTION. FOR OR
JUST ANOTHER I THINK OF. THESE
ARE ALL YOU KNOW I MEAN WE ARE
WE ARE STILL FACING THIS WERE
ARE NO RESTAURANTS ARE
STRUGGLING I KNOW WORKERS ARE
STRUGGLING I KNOW IT'S A HARD
TIME TO. GET EMPLOYEES IN- BUT
JUST FOR THE POINT THAT WE KNOW
THAT. LAWS GET UPDATED AND I
JUST HAPPEN TO BE- RECENTLY- IN
THE ROOM WAS CENTER PETIT AND
CENTER LAMONT WHERE SHE TALKED
TO HIM ABOUT THIS- SAFE AND HE
SAID YOU KNOW WE START WITH ONE
THING AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO
BUILD FORWARD SO. THAT OUR PARTY
IS IN THE LOOP ON THIS- CENTER
WITH. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AT.
THERE MIGHT. IT'S ON IT'S ON.
THE MANY TALKS CLOSER. OKAY. I
THINK I LIKELY. THE QUESTION
CHAIR **** WAS IS A PORTABLE
MEANING IF I EAT SAY WORK AT
MCDONALD'S TODAY. AND IN THE
NEXT THREE YEARS I WENT TO
MCDONALD'S TO CARS. TO A
RESTAURANT. THAT SAME LICENSE OR
CERTIFICATE CAN I USE IT AT
ANOTHER RESTAURANT THE NEXT
THREE YEARS THAT'S THE QUESTION
YES OR NO YES. OKAY SO THAT IT
IN THAT'S- D. THE OTHER CAR I
WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT MADAM.
CHAIR IS THAT. MORE HERE'S WHERE
MY CONCERN IS WITH THIS BILL. I
HEARD ABOUT YES. WAS MENTIONED
BY ONE OF THE SPEAKER THAT WHEN
YOU GET PLEASE TRAINING AND YOU
HAVE TO UPDATE THAT THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT PAYS FOR IT. YES
BECAUSE THAT'S A PUBLIC AGENCY.
AND THOSE POLICE OFFICER GOES.
AND WORK IN ANOTHER PUBLIC
AGENCY. AND THAT TRAINING SKILLS
OR TRAINING. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE
LIKE SAY A DOCTOR A MEDICAL
DOCTOR. THEY DON'T GET THOSE OR
A DENTIST WHEN THEY UPDATE THEIR
LICENSE. ANNUALLY OR GET YOU
KNOW ITS RECERTIFICATION. THEY
PAY FOR THAT PERSONALLY BECAUSE
THEY CAN GO FROM ONE HOSPITAL TO
ANOTHER HOSPITAL AND WORK THEY
CAN GO FROM. ORANGE COUNTY TO
LOS ANGELES. SO THAT'S ACTUALLY
PAID BY THE EMPLOYEE. AND NOT BY
THE EMPLOYER AND SO MY CONCERN
IS THAT WHERE WE HEADING IN.
BECAUSE RESTAURANTS ARE NOT
OWNED BY THE STATE OR A PUBLIC
AGENCY. IT'S OWNED BY
INDIVIDUALS- I COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS
AND- BUT I THINK MAYBE A
CONSIDERATION- MADAM AUTHOR IS
THIS IS THAT. AND IT HAPPENS A
LOT IN THE MINORITY COMMUNITIES
PARTICULARLY AWESOME THE ASIAN
COMMUNITY FOR US THAT I'VE SEEN
. THESE PROVIDERS THAT ARE
PROVIDERS OUT THERE THAT ARE
DOING THESE TRAINING ARE THEY
CHARGING MORE THAN THE FIFTEEN
DOLLARS OR THE EIGHT DOLLARS.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES THEY TEND TO
PREY ON MINORITY COMMUNITIES
WHERE THEY AT THE EXTRA FEES. TO
TRAINER TO TEACH YOU HOW TO TAKE
THESE EXAMS- SO IS THAT WHERE
THE PROBLEM IS OR IS IT THE
EIGHT OR TEN FIFTEEN DOLLARS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. HERE IS
LIKE YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE GOING
TO. TRY TO LEARN AND TAKE THESE
U. S. CITIZEN. TESTS THERE'S
ALWAYS THESE PROVIDERS OUT THERE
THAT WOULD CHARGE YOU A THOUSAND
DOLLARS. TO BE ABLE TO- TO LEARN
HOW. TO TAKE THE U. S. CITIZENS
EXAM SO IS THAT WHAT THE CONCERN
IS WHERE IS THE CONCERNS THANK
YOU SO I WILL SAY JUST TO
EXAMPLE ABOUT A PUBLIC AGENCY
PAIN FOR PUBLIC EMPLOYEES- IT'S
VERY COMMON THAT IN LAW FIRMS-
THAT OUR PUP THAT ARE PRIVATE-
THAT THAT LAW FIRMS ACTUALLY PAY
FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES. BAR DUES
AND SO IF THAT EMPLOYEE LEAVES.
THEY ACTUALLY STILL HAVE A VALID
BAR DO SO THAT'S JUST ONE
EXAMPLE OF A SECTOR WHERE IT'S
VERY VERY COMMON FOR THE PRIVATE
EMPLOYER TO PAY FOR THE
EMPLOYEE- AS FAR AS THE ISSUE
YOU'VE IDENTIFIED- WE HAVEN'T
FLAG THAT THERE IS ANYBODY THAT
IS IN. A LACK OF COMPLIANCE WITH
THE FIFTEEN DOLLAR FEE THE ISSUE
CAME FROM- A NATIONAL
CONVERSATION THAT SPURRED IN AND
I RESPECT THE RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION'S POSITION THAT THE
INFORMATION- IT YOU KNOW FROM
THEIR PERSPECTIVE IS NOT
ACCURATE BUT THERE IS- EVIDENCE
THAT SAYS OTHERWISE AND I THINK
THAT THAT WILL BE DISPUTED AS AS
THAT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS-
THAT THE FEES ARE. THAT THE FEES
THAT AN EMPLOYEE PAYS VERY BENE
E. USED. VERY OFTEN TO LOBBY.
AGAINST THE EMPLOYEE SO THE
ORIGIN OF WHY THIS BILL COMES
FROM THAT NATIONAL CONVERSATION
THAT'S HAPPENING AT THE MOMENT
AND SO THIS IS A WAY TO SAY. YOU
KNOW IT'S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT. THE
SIMPLE COST OR WHETHER OR NOT
THAT COST IS BEING ABUSED WE
DON'T HAVE WIDESPREAD EVIDENCE
THAT IT'S BEING ABUSED- AS YOU
HEARD FROM BOTH YOU KNOW
PRESENTERS IN SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION. THE COST FOR THIS
TRAINING VARIES- FROM FIVE
DOLLARS TO FIFTEEN DOLLARS- AND
SO THAT IS SPREAD OUT OVER THREE
YEARS SO IT CAN BE YOU KNOW
ANYWHERE FROM A DOLLAR SEVENTY
FIVE PER YEAR PER EMPLOYEE THAT
YOUR PAIN OR FIVE DOLLARS PER
YEAR DEPENDING WHICH YOU DEAL.
AND SO THIS IS VERY SPECIFIC TO
ONE OF THE TRAINING COURSES I
THINK ALSO WHAT'S HAPPENED SINCE
THE LAW PASSED TEN YEARS AGO- IS
THAT WE BACK. SEEN MORE-
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOW
OFFERING THAT BECAUSE THE FREE
MARKET IS ALLOWING FOR MORE
COMPETITION AND THEREFORE THE
COST IS ACTUALLY CHANGING- WHEN
WE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT- YOU KNOW
FROM THAT INDIVIDUAL
PERSPECTIVE- YOU KNOW IT
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SO I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WOULD.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN CERTAINLY IF
THERE WAS FRAUD THAT WOULD BE A
THIRD BILL THAT I CAN THINK
ABOUT BUT TO- AT THE MOMENT
WE'RE REALLY IT'S COMING FROM
THE GENESIS OF- YOU KNOW AND
NATIONAL CONVERSATION THAT'S
HAPPENING. ABOUT THE FACT THAT
AN EMPLOYEE IS PLAYING FOR FC
THAT'S- AT TIMES BEING USED
AGAINST IT AND I THINK THAT THAT
IS. A NATIONAL CONVERSATION THAT
IS GOING THROUGH A DEBATE
PROCESS AND IT WILL GO TO THE
DEBATE PROCESS BUT AS THIS GOOD
ACTORS TO THE DEBATE PROCESS WE
HAVE A BILL IN FRONT OF US. TO
DEAL WITH THAT. MCMATH SOMETHING
MENTION. I APPRECIATE THE- YOU
KNOW THE COMPARISON WITH LAW
FIRMS. BUT LAW FIRMS DOES IT.
SOME DO AND SOME DON'T. IS NOT A
LAW. IS NOT A STATE LAW. THIS IS
GOING TO BE A STATE LAW
REQUIRING IT. AND LAW FIRM DOES
IT AS A BENEFIT TO KEEPING
LAWYERS AS WELL STAY THERE
BECAUSE- YOU KNOW HAVING THE
CASES THAT THEY DO THEY WANT YOU
KNOW. THE CONSISTENCY OF
INDIVIDUAL LAWYERS TO STAY ON
THAT CASE FOR TWO THREE YEARS
DOWN- I'VE BEEN A WAITRESS. I'VE
WORKED IN FOOD SERVICE YES YES
ABOUT MY HEALTH MY FAMILY ALSO.
OWNS RESTAURANTS AND IT HAS. AND
WE HAD ONE OF THE FIRST PHO
RESTAURANT IN ORANGE COUNTY WAY
BACK WHEN- SO I'VE I'VE BEEN.
BUSSING TABLES AND EVERYTHING
SINCE I WAS IT'S A BIT SEE
LITTLE ONES. AND SO I ATE. THE
FOOD INDUSTRY I'M VERY FAMILIAR
WITH THE NIGHT I THINK THOUGH IS
IT COMES DOWN TO. WHAT YOU'RE
GOING TO THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. FOR THIS BILL IS
GOING TO BE THE MOM AND POP
RESTAURANT OWNERS. A LOT OF
THESE RESTAURANT OWNERS OVER
THOUSANDS OF THEM IN MY OWN
DISTRICT. ACTUALLY IN LITTLE
SAIGON ARTESIA HAS LITTLE INDIA.
SIR RIDEAU'S HAS. LOTS OF
FILIPINO. AND LITTLE OF FILIPINO
TOWN AS WELL THESE MINORITY OWNS
RESTAURANTS ARE NOT GOING TO
KNOW THIS. AND YOU'RE PUTTING A
BURDEN ON THESE RESTAURANT
OWNERS THEY'RE NOT THE MCDONALDS
THEY'RE NOT THE BIG CHANGE. THAT
MAKING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OR
WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING THESE
PEOPLE RESTAURANT BUSINESSES
EVERYBODY NOTICE IS THAT IT'S A
PENNY BUSINESS YOU COUNT
PENNIES. AND SO YOU'RE THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES YOU'RE
GOING TO REALLY HURT THE MOM AND
POP RESTAURANTS. AND SO I HOPE
THAT YOU CONSIDER THAT AS THIS
CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD
BECAUSE- THIS IS NOW MANDATING
STATE WHY TENS OF THOUSANDS
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
RESTAURANTS BIG AND SMALL. AND
THESE INDIVIDUALS THE THIS
LICENSE KIND OF LIKE A DRIVER'S
LICENSE WE EACH PAY YOUR
DRIVER'S LICENSE ANNUALLY AND WE
GET TO DRIVE ALL ACROSS THE
STATE IN THE COUNTRY. AND THAT'S
A CARD THAT THIS DESERVE
OCCASION GIVES YOU THIS CARD HAS
AN EXPIRATION DATE JUST LIKE A
DRIVER'S LICENSE WE'RE ALL
INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIBLE ONE
DRIVER'S LICENSE. SO I THINK
THIS IS GOING TO THE RUBLE FACT
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES ALL
THESE MOM AND POP RESTAURANTS
ALL ACROSS THE STATE. THAT ARE
GOING TO BE HEARD AND- YOU ALSO
KNOW IS. INDIVIDUALS WHO WORK IN
THIS INTERESTED IN THE INDUSTRY
DOESN'T STAY THERE FOR TEN
YEARS. NOT LIKE A LAW FIRM. AND
THEY DON'T STAY THERE FOR FIVE
YEARS EITHER SOMEONE THEY'RE
GOING TO STAY FOR A YEAR. SO
THEY MOVE AROUND QUITE A BIT AND
SO I HOPE THAT YOU ALSO PLEASE.
BE MINDFUL OF THOSE SMALL MOM
AND POPS RESTAURANT AS YOU MOVE
FORWARD ABSOLUTELY AND I WILL
SAY THAT AS SOMEONE WHO HAS
WORKED. IN THE RESTAURANT
BUSINESS HAS FAMILY IN THE
RESTAURANT BUSINESS THE NUMBER
ONE CONVERSATION I'VE BEEN
HAVING WITH. THESE NON CHAIN
SMALL RESTAURANTS IS THAT. YOU
KNOW THIS IS A HARD TIME FOR
THEM TO EMPLOY FOLKS AND IF
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A FIVE
DOLLAR A YEAR THAT'S ACTUALLY
NOT THEIR BIGGEST CHALLENGE-
THERE WILLING TO MAKE THAT
INVESTMENT SO- THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT YOU KNOW I KNOW FIRST HAND
I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE
FAMILY IN THE BUSINESS. I KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A FAMILY
MEMBER THAT SAYS HEY WE DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TODAY CAN YOU
HELP US OUT WITH CATERING. CHECK
CHECK CHECK DONE ALL THAT AND SO
I THINK FOR ME IT'S IMPORTANT TO
JUST ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S
A NATIONAL CONVERSATION
HAPPENING ABOUT THIS AND WE WANT
TO TRY TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM.
I'M IN NO WAY I'M A YOU KNOW I
DISAGREE WITH THE WITH THE
ANALYSIS THAT THIS IS GONNA
HURT- SMALL MOMS AND POPS
BECAUSE I THINK THAT THERE IS A
BIGGER ISSUE AT THE MOMENT IS.
HOW DO YOU KEEP- EMPLOYEES THERE
AND HOW DO YOU WORK- WITH
EMPLOYEES AND ENSURE YOU HAVE
ENOUGH EMPLOYEES. AND I'VE NOT
TALKED TO ANYBODY YET THAT WILL
TELL ME THAT IN INVESTMENT OF A
DOLLAR SEVENTY FIVE A YEAR TO
FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR. IS THE
WRONG DIRECTION TO GO IF AN
EMPLOYEE FEELS THAT THE
CONTRAST. THAT WHAT THEY'RE
DOING IS IN THE INTEREST OF THE
BENEFIT. OF THE EMPLOYEE. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH SENATE WHAT. THANK
YOU- SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY.
ONE I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
LEADERSHIP- ON THIS PARTICULAR
ISSUE I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO JOIN
AS A CO AUTHOR- AND- IF POSSIBLE
I GUESS. I'D LIKE TO MOVE THIS.
ITEM THANK YOU THANK YOU. THE
BILL HAS BEEN MOVED BY CENTER.
WILL HAVE. A SENTIMENT OF OUR-
QUESTION FOR THE SPONSOR OR THE
INDIVIDUAL OPPOSITION. YOU
MENTIONED A SPONSOR THAT THERE
IS A HEALTH SAFETY COURSE.
REQUIRED BY EMPLOYEES TO TAKE
I'M WONDERING IF THAT'S ALREADY
REPAID. BEING COVERED UNDER THE-
RESTAURANTS WIDE THIS TRAINING
CAN BE EMBEDDED IN THERE AND
THEN THAT WOULD ELIMINATE ANY
ADDITIONAL COSTS. YEAH YEAH YEAH
OKAY YES SORRY SIR. YES ONE
SISTER DIRECTED TO YES YES.
SORRY I'M SORRY TED WANT TO JUMP
IN BUT- IF IT'S OKAY CENTER WHEN
I'M SO GLAD YOU BROUGHT UP. A
MINUTE LET'S LET'S WHICH IS
GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION
THAT WAS POSED TO YOU RIGHT NOW
OKAY OKAY. MEDICAL AND NURSING
LICENSES. WHEN YOU GET THOSE
THERE FOR SKILLS HOW TO OPERATE
ON A PATIENT HOW TO BE A NURSE.
THERE ARE NONE SO WHEN WE HAD
CALLED THE TRAINING FOR DOCTORS
AND NURSES IT WAS FREE IT WAS
PROVIDED INFORMATION BECAUSE IT
WAS PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION WE
WANTED TO PROVIDE. TO THOSE
PEOPLE THAT WAS TRANSPORTABLE
INFORMATION CODED INFORMATION
NEW INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT SO
WHEN DOCTORS AND NURSES WHO HAVE
LICENSES ARE ON HOW TO DO THE
WORK. THEY PAY FOR THAT BUT THEY
DO NOT PAY FOR ADDITIONAL
TRAINING AROUND PUBLIC HEALTH
NEW PUBLIC HEALTH INFORMATION
THAT COMES OUT. SIMILARLY IN
RESTAURANTS EVERY RESTAURANT
WORKER YOU'RE RIGHT GETS
TRAINING ON HOW TO DO THE WORK
HOW TO COOK HOW TO SERVE HOW TO
BAR TEND THEY GET THAT TRAINING
IS USUALLY ON THE JOB TRAINING.
AND WITHIN THAT THERE'S PEOPLE
ARE TRAINED AND YOU KNOW SO YOU
KNOW HOW TO DO THIS SAFELY
PLEASE KEEP THEM FOOD AT THIS
TEMPERATURE PLEASE DON'T LEAVE
THE DRINKS OUT TOO LONG. PEOPLE
GET THAT INFORMATION ALREADY AND
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IT COULD
BE INVENTED AND ALSO THERE ARE
NONPROFIT PROVIDERS WHO COULD
PROVIDE. VERY SMALL BUSINESSES
WITH FREE TRAINING ALL OF THAT
IS TOTALLY POSSIBLE WHAT IS
WRONG RIGHT NOW IS TO COMPARE
THIS LICENSE TO A MEDICAL
LICENSE WHICH IS A SKILLS
LICENSE. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH
INFORMATION LICENSE. WHICH YOU
SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A LICENSE IT
SHOULD BE PUBLIC HEALTH
INFORMATION PROVIDED THE WAY WE
PROVIDED. THAT INFORMATION TO
THE WITNESS WHICH IS GOING TO
ANSWER YES TO THE QUESTION THANK
YOU VERY MUCH ALL RIGHT. SO I
THINK WHAT THEY'RE- I THINK THE
POINT HE'S MAKING IS THAT. THE
REST OF THEM ARE SOMETHING
THAT'S REQUIRED IT'S JUST
SOMETHING THAT A RESTAURANT.
WOULD YOU MIND THE I. TO RE. TO
MY QUESTION IS SEE. EXAMPLES
THAT MEASURE RESP. I'M NOT SURE
I COMPLETE THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
I'M NOT SURE I COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. MAY I
REPEAT IT YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE
REQUIRED TO TAKE SOME ON THE JOB
TRAINING ALREADY BY RESTAURANTS
THAT IT. I THINK THAT'S JUST PER
RESTAURANT RIGHT WHEN YOU GET A
JOB AT A RESTAURANT THE LIKE THE
TRAINING HOW TO SAFELY. UTILIZED
EXPLAINS THEM. ON MY QUESTION IS
I'M WONDERING IF THIS ADDITIONAL
TRAINING CAN BE EMBEDDED WITHIN
THAT TRAINING ALREADY THAT'S
DONE ON THE JOB. WHY DOES HAVE
TO BE SEPARATE. WELL IT'S A GOOD
QUESTION I APPRECIATE THAT
CENTER I THINK THE ANSWER IS
THAT THIS IS ELEVATED FOOD
SAFETY TRAINING SO THIS IS NOT
TRAINING THAT ONE WOULD HAVE. IN
THE NORMAL COURSE OF HAVING
RESTAURANT TRAINING. SO THIS IS
ELEVATED TRAINING THAT HEALTH
INSPECTORS THOUGHT WAS WORTHY IN
THREE COUNTIES. AND WHAT WAS
DONE IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN WAS
TO MAKE THAT SYSTEM WIDE
STATEWIDE CONSISTENT- BECAUSE OF
A NUMBER OF FOOD BORNE ILLNESSES
AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE THAT
WERE TAKING PLACE. SO REDUCING
FOOD BORNE ILLNESS ELEVATING
TRAINING IS SOMETHING THAT WE
STOOD BY THEN WE STILL STAND BY
AND SO WE DO THINK IT SHOULD BE
SEPARATE. SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS
THE QUESTION. I THINK CAN I JUST
COMMENT THAT THE INTENTION OF
THIS BILL AND I DON'T THINK EVEN
WITH THE OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT
IS TO REMOVE THIS TRAINING. LIKE
THERE IS NOT A QUESTION ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THE TRAINING IS.
APPROPRIATE WE ALL AGREE. SENATE
ROTH. THANK YOU I'M SURE I JUST
WANT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THE
NATURE AND THE SCOPE OF THIS
ISSUE. WE'VE BEEN TALKING I
GUESS ABOUT APPLICANTS FOR
EMPLOYMENT WHO HAVE TO PRODUCE A
FOOD HANDLER. CARD WHAT HAPPENS
TO INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE EMPLOYED.
WITH THE PORTABLE CARD WHEN THE
CARD IS VALID. AND THE CARD
EXPIRES DURING EMPLOYMENT- WHAT
DO YOU DO IS THERE SOME
INDUSTRY. STANDARD AS TO HOW
THAT SUPPLY DO DO YOU THEN.
ALLOW TIME FOR THE CURRENT
EMPLOYEE TO GO OBTAIN THE
TRAINING DO YOU PROVIDED ON SITE
DO YOU PAY FOR THE TIME TO PAY
FOR THE TRAINING. MAYBE MR
SUTTON COULD ADDRESS THAT I'M
SURE SOMETHING. IS COURAGE WOULD
SEEM TO ME FROM A RECRUITING
STANDPOINT IF YOU HAVE A
WORKFORCE SHORTAGE ISSUES THAT
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING YOU
MIGHT WANT TO DO ANYWAY BUT-
SENATE ROTH THANK YOU YES TO SO
IF YOU IF YOU WERE. FOOD CARD.
EXPIRES IN THE MIDST OF WORKING
FOR A ENTITY THEN YOU WOULD TAKE
IT AGAIN TAKE THE COURSE AGAIN-
AND RENEW THE CERTIFICATE SOME
RESTAURANTS. DO THAT FOR THEIR
EMPLOYEES THE LAW IS SILENT ON
WHO DOES THAT A LOT OF THE BIG
NAME RESTAURANTS THAT HAVE BEEN
NAMED IN THIS HEARING. HAVE
THEIR OWN INTERNAL TRAINING
PROGRAMS SO I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE COMMUNITY BASED RESTAURANTS
THAT TEND TO HAVE TO DO THIS ON
THEIR OWN AND NOT PART OF AN AND
HOW SHOCKED. SO YES IT WOULD
HAVE TO BE RENEWED SOME
EMPLOYERS MIGHT DO IT FOR THEIR
EMPLOYEES. IT'S BECOME SO
CUSTOMARY THAT MOST EMPLOYEES
JUST TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN GETTING
THAT CERTIFICATE AND DOING THE
TRAINING IT'S AFFORDABLE IT'S
PORTABLE. THE ISSUE WITH MOVING
IT TO THE EMPLOYER IS NOT JUST I
KNOW IT'S BEEN DIMINISH NOT JUST
THE TRAINING. BUT THE COSTS IT'S
THE TIME OF TAKING THE TRAINING.
ON A CONSERVATIVE BASIS. SOME OF
THE TRAININGS ARE AT LEAST TWO
HOURS AND SO IT BECOMES A PER
HEAD. ADDED COST FOR THE
RESTAURANT AND MOST OF OUR
EMPLOYEES ARE PAID WELL ABOVE
MINIMUM WAGE AND SO. IT ENDS UP
BEING ANYWHERE FROM FIFTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS PER EMPLOYEE TO
DO THESE RENEWALS- SO. SORRY
IT'S A MIXED ANSWER SOME WILL
PROVIDE IT FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES-
AND SIMILAR EXPECT THEIR
EMPLOYEES TO KEEP IT RENEWED-
AND SO THAT'S THAT'S GENERALLY
WHAT WE SEE TODAY. AND THAT'S
WHAT THE LAW ALLOWS THE
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR STANDARDS
ENFORCEMENT OPINION IS. THAT IF
AN EMPLOYER REQUIRES TRAINING.
THEN THE EMPLOYER SHOULD PAY.
WHEN THE STATE REQUIRES TRAINING
. THE UNLESS IT'S SAID IN LAW.
THEN THE EMPLOYEE SHOULD COVER
THE COSTS AND I UNDERSTAND
CENTER LEMANIS IS SWITCHING THAT
AND THAT'S THAT'S THE PROPOSAL.
YOUR BROTHER SOME PROVISIONS AS
I RECALL IN THE OCCUPATIONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT WERE. WE
REQUIRES CERTAIN SAFETY
EQUIPMENT- AND SOMEBODY HAS TO
PAY FOR IT IS THAT THE EMPLOYEE
. OTHER THAN NORMAL TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT RIGHT. I THINK YES YES
IT COULD BE IT'S OUT OF OUR WE
OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME WORK I'M-
SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL WE
OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOME WORK TO DO
IT SEEMS TO ME WITHOUT A
DATABASE THAT AN EMPLOYEE CAN A
POTENTIAL EMPLOYEE COULD SHOW UP
IN EMPLOYER. EITHER FORGET THEY
HAVE A FOOD HANDLER CARD OR HAVE
ONE AND NOT MENTION IT AND THE
EMPLOYER THEN HAS TO INCUR THE
EXPENSE. OF NOT ONLY THE TIME
BUT THE TRAINING TO PROVIDE A
DUPLICATE CARD. I'D LOVE TO
ADDRESS THAT. IF THIS BILL MOVES
FORWARD OF COURSE I THINK AT
SOME POINT I THINK THE TEACHERS
OR THE REFERENCE THAT WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.
JUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
COMMITTEE FMA MADAM CHAIR THERE
THERE IS A DATABASE AND SO
RESTAURANTS KEEP DATABASES OF
WHO HAS SHOWN AND PROVEN THAT
THEY ARE UP TO DATE ON THEIR
FOOD SAFETY CERTIFICATION. THAT
IS CHECKED BY THE HELL COUNTY
HEALTH INSPECTORS WERE THERE IS
A DATABASE USING THE LOCAL
HEALTH INSPECTORS YES PROGRESS
HARPER COUNTY. YES HER REST REST
REST SO WHEN THE HELP BUT NOT
STATEWIDE WHEN THE HEALTH
INSPECTORS ARE COMING IN TO DO
THE NORMAL INSPECTION THIS IS
ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT CHECK FOR
SOME RESTAURANTS WILL PRODUCE. A
DATABASE THAT MATCHES THEIR M.
CURRENT EMPLOYEE BASE WITH THIS
LIST AND SO THAT IS THERE. THAN
THERE ARE COUNTIES LIKE LOS
ANGELES AND OTHERS THAT LIST ALL
OF THE PROVIDERS. WELL WE DON'T
SERVE SAFE. ON THE WEBSITE THANK
YOU. US CENTER TARA. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR. I FEEL LIKE I'M
MISSING SOMETHING HERE. BECAUSE
AND ACTUALLY I LOVE THE FACT
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOOD
SAFETY BECAUSE I'M- THIS IS A
TOPIC THAT I'M REALLY INTERESTED
IN BUT- YOU KNOW. I REALLY
STRONGLY FEEL THAT FOOD SAFETY
OR FOOD BORNE ILLNESSES ARE
GOING TO BE ON THE RISE THEY'RE
NOT. DECREASING BUT THEY'RE JUST
GOING TO GET SIGNIFICAN ARSENITE
I THINK THAT THIS COULD BE A WIN
WIN SITUATION NOT ONLY FOR. THE
WORKERS BUT FOR THE RESTAURANTS
AS WELL BECAUSE IT IS. IT'S
REALLY A SMALL INVESTMENT IN
YOUR OWN BUSINESS. BECAUSE WHAT
WHAT. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. TO A
SMALL BUSINESS OR ANY BUSINESS.
IF SOMEONE BECOMES SICK OR
MULTIPLE MULTIPLE PEOPLE BECOME
SICK DUE TO. A FOOD SAFETY OR
LACK THEREOF FOR WHATEVER MAY
BE. THAT'S GOING TO CREATE A
HUGE DAMAGE TO THAT BUSINESS
ITSELF. AND SO I REALLY I MEAN I
REALLY SEE THIS AS AS A WINNING
SITUATION FOR BOTH WHERE IT'S
JUST A SMALL INVESTMENT. IN THE
NOT ONLY IN THE IT'S REALLY AN
INVESTMENT IN YOUR IN YOUR OWN
BUSINESS SO. WHAT THAT'LL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL. THANK YOU
RUNCITER GLAZER- WELL I'M
STRUGGLING WITH THIS BILL HAD
GREAT AUTHOR VETS- AND IT'S
BECAUSE OF THIS THIS BROADER- IT
FOR SALT. THERE'S THIS
ATMOSPHERICS THAT I HEARD IN THE
TESTIMONY EARLIER WHICH
CERTAINLY TROUBLED ME THAT
SOMEHOW THIS IS AN INSIDIOUS.
WAY FOR RESTAURANTS TO GET
EMPLOYEES MONEY TO LOBBY AGAINST
EMPLOYEES OR WORKER PROTECTION.
AND I'M SORRY BUT THAT THAT.
THAT ARGUMENT TO ME IS- IS
CERTAINLY OUT IN THE UNIVERSE
THE MAIN IF I GO TO MCDONALDS
AND BUY HAMBURGER ON MY
CONTRIBUTED TO MCDONNELL'S
EFFORTS- WE HAVE THIS BIG
FRANCHISE FIGHT OF COURSE NOT.
BYE BYE IN APPLE COMPUTER OF MY
CONTRIBUTED THEIR LOBBYING
EFFORTS OF WHATEVER THEY MAY BE.
COURSE NOT I KNOW THAT'S A SIDE
ISSUE BUT AT LEAST I WANTED TO
AT LEAST. ADDRESS IT. BUT MY
STRUGGLES WITH THIS AS IT IS
WITH MANY OTHER THINGS IS THAT
THE INTENTIONS ARE GOOD. BUT
WHAT ARE THE PRAGMATIC IMPACTS.
ON THIS TYPE OF THE PROPOSAL I'D
INVITE MR SUTTON TO COME BACK
AND REITERATE I THINK SOMETHING
HE ALLUDED TO IN HIS EARLIER
TESTIMONY. WHICH IS HOW THE
RESTAURANTS YOU WANT THESE DAYS
NOW I KNOW IT'S JUST A- RIP
ROARING ECONOMY OUT THERE AND
EVERYONE'S GOING OUT. TO EAT
ADVISED HIM BACK TO MAYBE
PROVIDE SOME STATS ABOUT. HOW
ALL OF OUR OUR RESTAURANTS ARE
DOING BECAUSE I DON'T I DON'T
THINK THEY'RE DOING SO WELL I
SEE A LOT OF EMPTY STOREFRONTS.
IN MY WALK HERE EVERY DAY.
RIDLEY WAS JUST ABOUT TO GIVE ME
GIPSON ROUND ON THE STATUS OF
RESTAURANTS IN CAL. SHE THE
MANAGER SAID GLAZERS YOU-
ABSOLUTE- CONTINUE TO. AN OF
COURSE WE HAVE THE PANDEMIC
LOSSES THAT AGAIN WE'RE NOT DUE
TO OUR CHOICE TO CLOSE AND LAY
PEOPLE OFF THEY WERE DUE TO
GOVERNMENT ORDERED CLOSURES. NOT
LOOKING TO RE LITIGATE THAT BUT
THE ISSUE THERE IS THAT THE
HANGOVER IS HUGE AND IT STILL
CONTINUES IN HOW MANY
RESTAURANTS ARE OPEN AND CLOSED
IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. HOW
MANY EMPLOYEES HAVE LOST THEIR
JOBS IN RESTAURANTS THE LAST
THREE YEARS. I'M JUST LOOKING
FOR THE FACTS YEAH WE SAW NINE
HUNDRED THOUSAND RESTAURANT
EMPLOYEES LAID OFF DURING THE
PANDEMIC OKAY AND OUR GOAL IS TO
GET BACK. TO WHERE WE USED TO BE
BEING THE SECOND LARGEST PRIVATE
EMPLOYER IN BEING THE SECOND
LARGEST. PRODUCER OF LOCAL
REVENUE FOR SALES TAX OKAY AND
CALIFORNIA HOW MANY RESTAURANTS
HAVE CLOSED IN CALIFORNIA LAST
THREE YEARS. THAT NUMBER I DON'T
HAVE IT WE ARE EXPECTING WHEN IT
DOES COME IN THAT THE DATA COMES
IN THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE AT
LEAST THIRTY PERCENT. OKAY SO
IT'S REALLY HARD ON A GOOD
INTENTIONS BILL LIKE THIS TO SAY
HOW HEY. IT'S LIKE NORMAL GOOD
TIMES- SO LET'S MOVE THESE COSTS
OVER TO THE RESTAURANTS BECAUSE
IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO. IF
THAT'S THE VIEW OF THIS.
COMMITTEE OF THE LEGISLATURE
BUT- THIS ISN'T NORMAL TIMES
FOLKS WE ARE IN A CRISES. A
CRISIS. AND SO IS THIS THE RIGHT
TIME TO TAKE THIS GOOD INTENTION
STEP AND THAT CERTAINLY TROUBLES
ME. TOO WELL I GUESS I GUESS. I
GUESS YOU WOULD SAY CENTER
TAUGHT US POINT. RIGHT BEFORE
YOURS WAS THAT. THE THIS COULD
BE A WIN WIN. RIGHT BECAUSE WHAT
WHAT WHAT WE DO KNOW. IS IN
ADDITION TO THE COST OF
INFLATION. BECAUSE OF BEING ABLE
TO- THE QUEST TO BE ABLE TO.
HAVE EMPLOYEES AND KEEP
EMPLOYEES ON. HIS THE BIGGER
TROUBLING I THINK PROBLEM FOR
RIGHT NOW IS A WORK FORCE ISSUE.
AND IF THIS CAN BE ALSO SEEN
THAT AS A WAY TO BRING PEOPLE
IN. AND KEEP PEOPLE IN. THAT
COULD BE HELPFUL FOR RESTAURANTS
AND WITH RESPECT TO THE CHAIR
AYE. I THINK THAT IT'S THE I
THOUGHT THERE WAS A SECONDARY
ISSUE BROUGHT UP ABOUT THE
SAFETY ISSUE. OF FOOD. AND THAT
THERE'S A MUTUAL INTEREST IN
MAKING SURE THAT THE FOOD.
PREPARATION AND ALL THE REST ARE
SO SAFE AT. I THINK THAT'S A
SELF. THIS BILL IN ANY OF. FOOD
SERVE TO MAKE YOUR OF. ARE
TRAINED ON FOOD- CERTAIN WANT
THEM TO- YOU KNOW TO KEEP THEIR
JOB. AND BE IN A POSITION TO BE
PROMOTED FROM THAT SO AND WE
THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE VIDEOS
AT THIS TIME SENATOR WILL HAVE.
THANK YOU- SIR YOU. THAT THIS IS
THE SECOND LARGEST- INCOME.
HAVING A PRIVATE EMPLOYER AND
THEN THE SECOND WHAT WAS YOUR
SECOND POINT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO
GETTING BACK TO THE POSITION WE
WERE IN AS THE RESTAURANT
COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA AND THAT
WAS. THE FIRST OR SECOND LARGEST
PRIVATE EMPLOYER IN THE STATE.
AND THE FIRST OR SECOND LARGEST
PROVIDER OF LOCAL AND STATE
SALES TAX REVENUE. NO CLOSER TO
STATISTICS THAT WE KIND OF GO
BACK AND FORTH WITH HEALTH CARE
AND- NEW CAR SALES OKAY SO
FIRST. OR SECOND LARGEST SALES
TAX REVENUE GENERATED BY THIS
INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE CORRECT.
THAT'S WHERE WE WERE BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC YES OKAY AND WHERE ARE
YOU RIGHT NOW. DON'T KNOW THAT
BUT WE'RE NOT AND WE'RE NOT IN
FIRST OR SECOND PLACE I KNOW
THAT. OKAY ARE YOU IN THE TOP
TEN YES. OKAY AND- SENATE ALONE-
HE- YOUR BILL SPECIFICALLY
TALKING ABOUT ROUGHLY FIVE
DOLLARS. OF AN INVESTMENT RIGHT
OR WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF YOUR AT
THE MAXIMUM FIVE DOLLARS OF AN
INVESTMENT A YEAR BECAUSE IT'S
FIFTEEN DOLLAR TRAINING FOR
EVERY THREE YEARS. AT THE LOW
END YOU MIGHT FIND SOME COUNTIES
THAT DO IT FREE- BUT MOSTLY
ABOUT FIVE TO EIGHT DOLLARS.
OKAY AND- THREE YEARS NOT YEAH
WRITTEN SENATOR WE WE'VE TALKED
A COUPLE TIMES- ABOUT DIFFERENT
INDUSTRIES AND YOU KNOW YOU
MENTIONED- I THINK- SOMEBODY
HERE MENTIONED- THE LEGAL
INDUSTRY AND SO FORTH RIGHT. NOW
IT'S COMMON PRACTICE THAT-
INDUSTRIES TO PAY FOR- BAG
GLOVES AND SAFETY GEAR AND MUCH
MORE IS THAT NOT CORRECT
CORRECT. OKAY BECAUSE THEY ARE
DOING THE WORK OF THE BUSINESS
CORRECT AS A MATTER OF FACT
DURING THE PANDEMIC WE HAD A LOT
OF BUSINESSES ASKING US FOR MORE
OF THAT RATE- FOR MORE OF THOSE
SUPPLIES BECAUSE THOSE WERE
REALLY CRITICAL SO THE STATE SET
UP TO MAKE SURE THAT. THIS
CRITICAL USE OF THE SAFETY-
TOOLS WERE IN HAND TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE. THEM PURCHASE THEM FOR
THEIR EMPLOYEES. AND THE FOOD
INDUSTRY WORKERS- AND I'M SURE
WE HAVE SOME INDIVIDUALS THAT
CAN SPEAK ON THE TOPIC- ARE
OFTEN CONSIDERED THE LOWEST
INCOME EARNERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA CORRECT. THAT'S
RECHTEN MACY TODD CHARACTER TO
BUT YOU KNOW. A ROUGHLY SAY PART
FOR A- AND WE- THE SECOND.
LARGEST TAX REVENUE GENERATING
INDUSTRY HERE SO I THINK THAT WE
CAN JUST BASED ON THOSE FACTS-
WE CAN TALK ABOUT- MAKING THIS
INVESTMENT A PERMANENT STAPLE IN
CALIFORNIA THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ANYBODY ELSE GENERAL
THANK YOU MADAM CHARGES WANT TO.
EXPLAIN MY POSITION HERE- WHICH
I DON'T ALWAYS DO. BUT IN
LISTENING TO THIS AND THINKING
ABOUT IT YOU KNOW WE IMPOSE A
REQUIREMENT. ON AN INDUSTRY FOR
PUBLIC SAFETY FOR FOOD SAFETY
REASONS THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
. AND THEN WE TURN AROUND AND WE
PLACE THE BURDEN OF THAT. ON A
WORK FORCE. THAT IS HISTORICALLY
BEEN ONE OF THE LOWEST PAID. IN
THE STATE. AND THE QUESTION HERE
IS WHETHER WE CONTINUE THAT. OUR
WEATHER'S WE SHIFT THE BURDEN OF
FAIRLY. SMALL BURDEN DEPENDING
ON THE SIZE OF THE ENTERPRISE.
BUT WE SHIFT THE BURDEN TO THE
EMPLOYER. IN THOSE CASES WHERE
THE APPLICANT COMES WITHOUT A
FOOD CARD FOOD CITY CARD
HANDLING CARD OR WERE THE CARD
EXPIRES. DURING EMPLOYMENT AND
THE EMPLOYEE WISHES TO CONTINUE
TO AND WORK THERE OR THE
EMPLOYER WISHES TO CONTINUE TO
HAVE THEM WORK THERE OR BILLS.
AND IF THAT'S THE CHOICE. YOU
KNOW I HAVE TO DECIDE ON
SHIFTING THE BURDEN. TO THE
EMPLOYER IN THIS CASE. BECAUSE
IT'S A FOOD SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
THAT WERE IMPOSING ON AN
INDUSTRY. NOT THE INDIVIDUAL
WORKER. SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT
THAT ON THE RECORD IT'S NOT A
CRITICISM I JUST THINK IT'S A
TOUGH CHOICE BUT- I THINK IT'S
ONE THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE THANK
YOU MANAGER THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THIS TIME KI¾M YOUR BILL SB
THREE SIX THREE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. AND THIS BILL MAY SOUND
FAMILIAR TO SOME OF YOU BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A
WHILE SO WE'RE BACK AT IT AGAIN
THIS YEAR AND THIS HAS TO DO
WITH A BAD REGISTRY RIGHT NOW
SOMEBODY GOES INTO AN EMERGENCY
ROOM TO BE PLACED ON A HOLDERS
SOMEWHERE LOOKING FOR A DETOX
BED OR SOMETHING. A HOSPITAL
EMERGENCY ROOM OR ANY OTHER
TREATMENT FACILITY IS GOING
THROUGH THE PHONE BOOK LOOKING
AT THE RESOURCE LIST LOOKING AT
PAPER AND PENCIL AND THEN MAKING
VARIOUS CALLS YOU HAVE AN
OPENING DO YOU HAVE. CAN YOU
TAKE THIS CAN YOU TAKE THAT. TO
THIS AND THIS IS A MOVEMENT
THAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY AND DATABASES THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE
SERVICES IN CONSULTATIONS WITH
OTHERS. TO ESTABLISH A JUST AS A
DATABASE SO IT'S BE ONLINE ON
TIME AND DATABASE WHERE THERE
ARE PSYCHIATRIC BEDS WHERE THERE
ARE SUBSIDIES BEDS WHERE THEIR
COMMUNITY COMMUNITY BEDS
AVAILABLE AND WHAT THE
PARAMETERS FOR THOSE SAID BEDS
ARE- THE INFORMATION WITH A
SPECIFIC INFORMATION AGAIN
INCLUDING THE CONTACT
INFORMATION WHO THE DESIGNATED
EMPLOYEE IS WHO THE RIGHT
CONTACT PERSON IS. TO BE ABLE TO
STREAMLINE THAT SO PEOPLE AREN'T
SITTING WAITING FOR A BED THAT
SOMEHOW CAN'T BE FOUND IF THERE
COULD BE ONE. PERHAPS IN THE
NEXT TOWN OVER- AS YOU KNOW
FINDING BEDS IS MUCH MORE
DIFFICULT THAN IT SHOULD BE AND
WE DO NEED MORE BEDS BUT THOSE
THAT ARE OUT THERE SHOULD BE
UTILIZED. AS RAPIDLY AS POSSIBLE
I SPOKE BEFORE A GROUP OF SOCIAL
WORKERS LAST WEEK AT A HOSPITAL
TELL ME THEY HAVE CLIENTS TO
STAY THERE ARE SIX MONTHS
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND ANOTHER
PLACE FOR THEM. AND THE TRIALS
OF TRYING TO FIND ONLINE ONTIME
DATABASES. IN WHICH TO PLACE
PEOPLE. I THINK THIS WILL
STREAMLINE THINGS IN A MUCH
BETTER WAY. I UNDERSTAND IT
POSES SOME CHALLENGES I DON'T
THINK IT'S ANY CHALLENGES THAT.
THAT ARE BEYOND US AND
ESPECIALLY AS WE MOVE MORE AND
MORE INTO THIS NEW. NEW WORLD OF
A. I. I THINK THAT'S ALSO
ANOTHER THING IF YOU CAN TELL ME
WHAT'S IN MY REFRIGERATOR WHAT I
CAN MAKE WITH IT. I THINK IT CAN
ALSO HELP US FIGURE OUT WHERE
THE BEDS ARE AND WHO BEST OR
QUALIFIED. FOR THAT WITH. ME
HERE TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
I HAVE RENTAL REGARD THE
LEGISLATIVE. WITH PSYCHE AT
PHYSICIANS ALLIANCE. AND OVER
TOP BEHALF OF MAYOR TODD. AND
THE BIG CITY MAYOR COLLISION. HI
GOOD AFTERNOON I AM WHERE TOP

ALSO REPRESENT- THAT BIG CITY
MAYORS COALITION OF WHICH MAKE
LAURIE IS THIS YEAR'S CHAIR. THE
PCM AS WERE KNOWN. AS THE
COALITION OF MAYORS OF BOTH
STATES- THIRTEEN LARGEST CITIES.
MAYORS SEE FIRSTHAND HOW OUR
COMMUNITIES HAVE STRUGGLED TO
PROVIDE APPROPRIATE AND TIMELY
CARE TO THOSE EXPERIENCING
SEVERE AMOUNT MENTAL ILLNESS AND
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. LAST
YEAR THE GOVERNOR AND
LEGISLATURE TOOK POSITIVE STEPS
TOWARD REFERRAL PERFORMING THE
ANTIQUATED. INEFFICIENT AND AT
TIMES IN HUMANE BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH SYSTEM. TO ENSURE THE
CARE ACT ANOTHER REFORMS REACH
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL REFORMS
LIKE SB THREE SIXTY THREE BEFORE
YOU IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. A
DATABASE OF AVAILABLE SPECIALLY
CARE BEDS TO SERVE THOSE
STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS
AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER IS OF
PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO THE
MERITS AND OUR COALITION. SUCH A
RESOURCE WILL HELP LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS SERVICE PROVIDERS
AND THE HEALTHCARE COMMUNITY
UNDERSTAND SAID AVAILABILITY. TO
EXPEDITE REFERRALS. TO INPATIENT
AND STEP DOWN CARE. WE HAVE
REACHED A CRISIS POINT OF
SERIOUS OUT OF. MENTAL ILL
CALIFORNIANS LANGUISHING IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. SB THREE SIXTY
THREE WILL MAKE IMPROVEMENTS
ACROSS THE CONTINUUM OF CARE AND
BETTER POSITION CALIFORNIA TO
PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND CARE
THAT CALIFORNIANS EXPECT. AND
DESPERATELY SEEK. WE THANK
SENATOR EGGMAN FOR CONTINUED
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE.
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE AND THE BIG CITY MAYORS
STAND READY TO IMPLEMENT THESE
MEASURES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
STATE AND OUR LOCAL ENTITIES

HEARD THIS BILL. IT'S JUST AS
IMPORTANT NOW IF NOT MORE SO
THAN IT HAS BEEN IN YEARS PAST
WE HAVE JUST COME THROUGH A
CRISIS WITH. COVED THAT HAS
SPIKED THE MENTAL HEALTH
CONCERNS IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
PEOPLE IN CRISIS ARE POPPING UP
EVERYWHERE AND- IN A SITUATION
LIKE THAT IT'S REALLY REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A PLACE.
TO SEND PEOPLE AT RIGHT NOW IF
YOU LOOK AT WHAT THE DEPARTMENT
OF- HEALTH CARE SERVICES WEBSITE
SAYS IT GIVES YOU A DOWNLOADABLE
PDF OF THE FACILITIES IN THE
STATE. AND THEN YOU DO THE
DOWNLOAD AND THEN YOU START
CALLING MOST. MANAGERS AND
FACILITIES TO DO DISCHARGES WILL
TELL YOU THAT THEY KNOW THEIR
LOCAL AREA PRETTY WELL BUT IF
YOU HAVE A SPECIALIZED PATIENT.
YOU KNOW THEY MIGHT BE OLDER
THEY MIGHT BE A WOMAN THEY MAY
HAVE HEALTH. COMPLICATIONS BUT
THEY COME TO THE HOSPITAL WITH A
PSYCHIATRIC DIAGNOSIS THOSE
INDIVIDUALS CAN BE REALLY HARD
TO PLACE AND SO WHAT BETTER
EXPEDIENT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
QUICKLY AND SAFELY. MEANT TO
HAVE AN ONLINE DATABASE- YOU
KNOW CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THE
STATES IT DOES NOT DO THIS.
OTHER STATES DO THERE IS GREAT
EXAMPLES OF HOW TO GET IT RIGHT
OUT THERE. AND SO WE'RE REALLY
STRONG BELIEVERS THAT THIS DOES
CREATE A BETTER QUALITY OF CARE
MORE RAPID DELIVERY OF
APPROPRIATE CARE AND WE COMMEND
THIS YEAR SUPPORT THANK YOU.

HAPPENS WHEN PATIENTS AREN'T
ABLE TO CONNECT WITH THE CARE
AND THE EVENTS THAT THEY NEED-
BUT WE DO BELIEVE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DATABASE
SHOULD BE GUIDED BY PARTNERSHIPS
RATHER THAN PUNITIVE APPROACHES.
AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS
BILL WOULD ALLOW DTS TO BE
EMPOWERED WITH THE SANCTION
AUTHORITY FOR A SET OF CUT
COMPLIANCE CRITERIA THAT REALLY
HAVEN'T BEEN DEVELOPED YET AND
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE YET.
SO THIS WOULD EXPOSE OUR COUNTY
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AGENCIES AND
CONTRACTED PROVIDERS TO UNKNOWN
LIABILITY WHEN THE PARAMETERS OF
THE DATABASE AGAIN HAVEN'T YET
BEEN DEVELOPED- WE BELIEVE A
DATABASE NEEDS TO BE. FEASIBLE
AND REALISTIC AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING
CONVERSATIONS ON THIS THANK YOU.

OTHER. OPPOSITION WITNESSES.
