SEVEN VENTURER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
PRESENT ITEM NUMBER THREE SENATE
BILL. THREE SEVEN THREE. PLEASE
COME FORWARD AND PROCEED WHEN
READY. GOOD MORNING WELCOME BACK
I'M I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO YOU
S. B. THREE SEVEN THREE AND THIS
IS THE ADDRESS PROTECTION ACT
I'M I'M LOOK THIS BILL
SPECIFICALLY IS LOOKING TO
CREATE A CHANGE FOR THE BOARD OF
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES IN THE BOARD
OF PSYCHOLOGY BY LIMITING ACCESS
TO THE PERSONAL HOME ADDRESS
THIS. WE SAW DURING THE PANDEMIC
THAT TELEHEALTH AXIS WAS ONE OF
THE NUMBER ONE WAY THAT ARE IN
OUR CONSUMERS WERE ABLE TO
OBTAIN MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES-
IT WAS POST PANDEMIC THAT WE
THOUGHT TELEHEALTH SERVICES
REALLY EXPECT WE'RE ALL TALKING
ABOUT THE WORK FORCE SHORTAGE
THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW. THIS IS
ONE- ISSUE THAT IS IMPACTING A
LOT OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH
THERAPIST CURRENT LAW REQUIRES
ANYONE WHO OBTAINS A LICENSE
UNDER DCA TWO OF PUT THEIR FULL
ADDRESS ON THEIR LICENSE RIGHT
NOW WE'RE SEEING INDIVIDUALS
WORK FROM HOME MORE OFTEN THAN
WE THOUGHT BEFORE PROVIDING
MENTAL HEALTH OUT OF THEIR
PRIVATE HOMES. YOU PROBABLY
HEARD STORIES REGARDING A CLIENT
THAT PERHAPS HAS POOR BOUNDARY
ISSUES NOT EVERYONE THAT SEEKS
MENTAL HEALTH HAS SEVERE MENTAL
HEALTH ILLNESSES BUT THERE ARE
SOME THAT HAVE A POOR
UNDERSTANDING OF BOUNDARIES. MY
WIFE IS A LICENSED MARRIAGE
FAMILY THERAPIST DURING THE
PANDEMIC SHE HOW TO GO FULLY
REMOTE AND HOW TO PROVIDE
SERVICES OUT OF OUR HOME. SHE
HAD WANTED. WHO STEPPED. ACROSS
THE LINE OF DOWN TREES AND WILL
REACH OUT TO HER. OUTSIDE OF
THEIR SESSIONS WHEN HE GOT DRUNK
AND KEPT CALLING HER. IF HE HAD
KNOWN IF YOU WOULD HAVE GONE THE
STEP FURTHER. I WOULD HAVE HAD
THIS INDIVIDUAL COME HARASS MY
WIFE AT OUR HOUSE BECAUSE OUR
HOUSE ADDRESS IS ON HER LICENSE
. I AM GLAD THAT HE DID NOT TAKE
IT A STEP FURTHER BUT THERE ARE
VARIOUS CASES OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT TAKE IT FURTHER. YES YOU
CAN PUT A PO BOX ADDRESS INSTEAD
OF YOUR PRIVATE HOME BUT THAT'S
AN ADDED FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT
WERE ASKING A WORK FORCE THAT WE
DESPERATELY NEED TO ADDRESS OUR
SOCIAL CRISIS IS RIGHT NOW. TO
TAKE ON. SO WHAT I'M ASKING. SB
THREE SEVEN THREE. IS FOR
LICENSEES TO ONLY PUT THEIR
CITY. COUNTY ZIP CODE AND STATE
OF WHERE THEY LIVE OUR PRODUCT
IS THAT IS BEING DONE RIGHT NOW
BY TWELVE OTHER BOARDS. OUR
PRODUCT IS THAT I THINK AS
RELATES TO THE BOARD OF.
BEHAVIOR SCIENCES IN THE BOARD
OF PSYCHOLOGY IS NEEDED TO
ENSURE WE PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF
THESE INDIVIDUALS. SO HERE WITH
ME TO SPEAK ON TESTIFIED IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL IS ANGEL
ORTIZ A LICENSED MARRIAGE
FAMILY. THERAPIST WHO IS ALSO
THE PRESIDENT OF SACRAMENTO
VALLEY CHAPTER OF CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF MARRIAGE AND
FAMILY THERAPIST. FOLLOWED BY
JOHN- DRIPPING- THE SENIOR
ADVOCATE FOR POLICY AND
LEGISLATIVE AFFAIRS CALIFORNIA
COUNCIL OF COMMUNITY BEHAVIOR
HEALTH AGENCIES. AS THEY'RE
APPROACHING THE- I GUESS WAS A
PODIUM. SENATE MAJORITY YOU
ACCEPT- THE AMENDMENTS REFLECT
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WILL WAY TO
APPRECIATE YOU KNOW THE KID THE
STOP WORKING WITH MY STOP ON
THIS AND I AM ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. THANK YOU
. PLEASE PROCEED SIR. GOOD
AFTERNOON INSTANT COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MY NAME IS ANGEL J.
ORTIZ. I AM A LICENSED MARRIAGE
AND FAMILY THERAPIST I DO 1100%
TELEHEALTH- THIS STARTED BEFORE
THE PANDEMIC BUT AFTER THE
PANDEMIC- TOOK ON A WHOLE LIFE
OF ITS OWN. I WANT TO SHARE A
LITTLE BIT OF A PERSONAL STORY
AS SUPPORT IN SUPPORT OF SB
THREE SEVEN THREE AND WHY IT IS
A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION. AS AN UP AND COMING
THERAPIST I HAD DREAMS OF HAVING
MY OWN- HOME OFFICE GIVEN MY
VISUAL IMPAIRMENT IN LIMITED
MOBILITY. I SOON THOUGHT TWICE
ABOUT THAT WHEN I BEGAN TO
REALLY GET INTO THE COURSE WORK
AND LEARN ABOUT CO OCCURRING
DISORDERS. SUBSTANCE INDUCED
PSYCHOSIS- PARANOID
SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ON DOWN THE
LINE. THE LAST SEARCH I
IMMEDIATELY REALIZED THAT I HAD
TO SCRAP THAT IDEA. THIS WILL
THEN TIE INTO WHY THIS BILL IS
SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR SAFETY. FOR
SIX YEARS UP UNTIL ABOUT TWENTY
TWENTY I WAS A FORENSIC
CLINICIAN. I WORKED WITH-
PAROLEES AND PROBATIONERS. AND
THESE FOLKS ARE AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE NOT THE MOST COMPLIANT.
AND SO AS SUCH THERE WERE TIMES
WHEN. I WAS AT ODDS WITH THEM
THEIR BEHAVIOR AND REPORTED
CERTAIN BEHAVIORS IN VIOLATION
OF THEIR PROBATION OR PAROLE SO
THEIR AGENTS THEY'RE THEY'RE
PO'S. AND ASSETS COULD HAVE PUT
MYSELF INTO A VERY PRECARIOUS
SITUATION HAD THEY KNOWN MY HOME
ADDRESS. THANKFULLY KNOCK ON
WOOD. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BUT
THAT THREAT REMAINS IN THE BACK
OF MY MIND. EVERY DAY I WENT TO
WORK. I HAVE MAINTAINED A PO BOX
FOUR I CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY
YEARS IT'S BEEN. BUT AS A
SENATOR MANY WERE MENTIONED IT
IS A COST THAT WE INCURRED.
EVERY YEAR EVERY TWO YEARS ON
TOP OF OUR LIABILITY INSURANCE
AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AND AS AN
UP AND COMING THERAPIST. OUR
SALARIES ARE NOT ALWAYS
COMMENSURATE WITH THE COST OF
LIVING. SELL ASSETS IT IS AN
ADDED EXPENSE. THE FIRST AND
FOREMOST THE MAIN CONCERN WITH
THIS. CAN AND ALWAYS WILL BE OUR
SAFETY. AT THE HEART OF OUR
PROFESSION IS THE THERAPEUTIC
ALLIANCE WE AS THERAPISTS KNOW
THAT CHANGE WITHIN OUR CLIENTS
COMES FROM WHEN THEY FEEL
CONNECTED WITH US. HOWEVER AS OF
SENATOR MANY OF OUR MENTIONED.
SOMETIMES THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
BOUNDARIES AND THAT'S THE ONE OF
THE VERY REASONS WHY THEY COME
TO US FOR TREATMENT. AS SUCH IF
THEY HAD ACCESS TO OUR PERSONAL
HOME ADDRESSES. I CAN'T IMAGINE
WHAT THAT COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO
AND HOPE TO NEVER. REALLY
EXPERIENCE WHAT THAT'S LIKE. SO
ASK SEARCH I AM OFFERING MY
PERSONAL STORY. IN SUPPORT OF SB
THREE SEVEN THREE. FOR THE
SAFETY OF THESE A VERY IMPORTANT
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN
AND AROUND THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AND ALSO FROM THE
PERSPECTIVE OF A COST SAVINGS
MEASURE AS WELL. I THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME THANK YOU SIR NEXT

WITH THEIR ADDRESS BEING
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. FOR COMPLEX
POPULATE- FOR EXAMPLE
PSYCHOTHERAPISTS OFTEN WORK WITH
COMPLEX POPULATIONS INCLUDING
SOME THAT MAY LEAVE THEM
VULNERABLE TO STALKING AND
HARASSMENT. CURRENTLY THE ONLY
OPTION AS YOU'VE HEARD FROM
FOLKS TODAY IS FOR LICENSEES.
GETTING A PO BOX IN ORDER TO
AVOID THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION
BEING PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SB
THREE SEVEN THREE OFFERS A
SIMPLE SOLUTION TO ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE WHILE STILL ALLOWING
CONSUMERS TO IDENTIFY PROVIDER

EXTRACT THEM FROM THIS- TO MOVE
FORWARD BUT THERE ARE OTHER
ENTITIES THAT DO THIS TWELVE

SENATE BILL. THREE EIGHT FIVE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
COLLEAGUES. FIVE FOR GIVING ME
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT SB
THREE EIGHTY FIVE LAST YEAR WITH
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM FACING
UNPRECEDENTED THREATS FROM THE
SUPREME COURT IN OTHER STATES.
CALIFORNIA TOOK A BOLD AND
AGGRESSIVE ACTION ENACTING LAWS
TO ENSURE ON THE RIGHT TO
ABORTION AND CONTRACEPTION INTO
OUR CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION. TO
STRENGTHEN LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR
CONSUMERS AND PROVIDERS EXPAND
THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
WORKFORCE. AND ENSURE ACCESS TO
AFFORDABLE CARE. UNFORTUNATELY
THIS YEAR WE CONTINUE TO SEE
OTHER STATES ATTACK IN A ROAD
ACCESS TO ABORTIONS. IT'S CLEAR
THAT WE NEED TO REMAIN STEADFAST
AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TRAIN
PROVIDERS AVAILABLE TO
CALIFORNIANS AND THOSE WHO NEED
TO COME HERE FOR REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CARE. AND TO THAT END SB
THREE EIGHTY FIVE WILL EXPAND
AND MODERNIZE REPRODUCTIVE CARE
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PHYSICIANS ASSISTANTS. THIS
BUILDS OFF OF THE SUCCESS OF
PRIOR LEGISLATION AB ONE FIFTY
FOUR FROM TWENTY THIRTEEN AND SB
THIRTEEN SEVENTY FIVE FROM LAST
YEAR. AB ONE FIFTY FOUR ALLOWED
QUALIFYING NURSE PRACTITIONERS
CERTIFIED NURSE MIDWIVES AND
PHYSICIANS ASSISTANTS TO PROVIDE
FIRST TRIMESTER ABORTIONS. SB
THIRTEEN SEVENTY FIVE UPDATED
TRAINING STANDARDS AND ADDRESSED
WORKFORCE BARRIERS FOR NURSE
PRACTITIONERS AND CERTIFIED
NURSE MIDWIVES SEEKING TO
PROVIDE FIRST TRIMESTER ABORTION
CARE. WHAT SB THREE EIGHTY FIVE
WOULD DO WOULD APPLY THE SAME
TRAINING STANDARDS TWO PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS. THAT SB THIRTEEN
SEVENTY FIVE DID. AN ODD THAT IT
ESTABLISHED FOR THE NURSE
PRACTITIONERS AND CERTIFIED
NURSE MIDWIVES SPECIFICALLY THIS
BILL WOULD ALSO BETTER ALIGN
ABORTION TRAINING. TWO PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS SCOPE OF PRACTICE AND
PROVIDE MULTIPLE OPTIONS FOR
CLINICIANS TO GET TRAINED IN
ABORTION CARE. SB THREE EIGHTY
FIVE WOULD FURTHER WIDEN ACCESS
TO ABORTION SERVICES AND HEALTH
CARE BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF
PRACTITIONERS. AVAILABLE TO PUT
A BAILABLE EXCUSE ME TO PROVIDE
THIS CRITICALLY NEEDED CARE.
ADDITION ASSISTANCE PLAY A
CRITICAL ROLE IN PROVIDING
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE BY
REMOVING BARRIERS TO ABORTION
TRAINING AND ALLOWING
EXPERIENCED PROVIDERS. TO
UTILIZE THEIR FULL TRAINING AND
EDUCATION THIS BILL WILL EXPAND
THE NUMBER OF QUALIFIED
REPRODUCTIVE CARE PRACTITIONERS
PARTICULARLY IN AREAS LACKING
ACCESS TO CARE. IT LIFTS UP A
WORKFORCE OF SKILLED PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS AND PROVIDES A MORE
OPPORTUNITIES TO CARE FOR THEIR
PATIENTS. I WOULD ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE AND- MISTER CHAIR HERE TO

APPROACH- PREVIOUS BILL THAT I
AUTHORED AND IT WAS PASSED ALONG
TWENTY NINETEEN AT THE TIME WAS
S. B. ONE FIVE NINE- THIS HAS
THIS BILL HAS TO DO WITH-
PREPPED WE EXPOSURE OF
PROPHYLAXIS FOR THOSE WHO DON'T
KNOW IS IT REALLY A
REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH TO
PREVENTING HIV- TAKING ONE PILL
A DAY. ON ALL BUT ELIMINATES-
YOUR RISK OF GETTING HIV IT BUT
LOWERS YOUR RESTAURANT GOING
MORE THAN USING CONDOMS PEOPLE
CAN STILL USE CONDOMS BUT IT IS
JUST IT IS- TRANSFORMATIONAL
PREVENTION TOOL RUN IT SHOULD BE
IT IF EVERYONE AT RISK OF HIV ON
THIS PLANET. WE'RE TAKING.
EVERYONE HAD ACCESS WE WOULD AND
THE HIV PANDEMIC WE COULD WE
COULD FOCUS ON THOSE LIVING WITH
HIV AND SUPPORTING THEM AND NO
ONE ELSE WOULD GET HIV IT'S NOT
POWERFUL AND YET DESPITE THE
POWER OF THIS TOOL- SO MANY
PEOPLE WHO. ARE AT RISK OR NOT
TAKING IT IS BECAUSE THEY DON'T
KNOW ABOUT IT THERE ARE
BARRIERS- THEY THEY'RE JUST NOT
TO EVEN HERE IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN
YOU GET OUTSIDE OF PARTICULARLY
PLACES LIKE EVEN IN SAN
FRANCISCO HONESTLY. THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE ON IT WHO
ARE NOT- ONCE YOU GET OUTSIDE OF
PLACES LIKE WEST LA OR WEST
HOLLYWOOD OF SAN FRANCISCO IT'S
JUST DROPS DRAMATICALLY IN
PARTICULARLY. IN COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR THE ACCESS IS WAY LOWER
THAN IT SHOULD BE AND WE HAVE TO
CHANGE THAT- AND WHAT WE DID
WITH SB ONE FIFTY NINE AS WE
PROVIDE EVERYTHING IS RESET
SIMILAR TO BIRTH CONTROL. THAT
FAR WOULD BE PER. TO PROVIDE
CRAP AND PAP WHICH IS WHAT YOU
TAKE IF YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED-
WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION YOU COULD
PEOPLE CAN GO INTO THEIR
NEIGHBORHOOD PHARMACY. AND THEY
COULDN'T GET THIS MEDICATION- WE
WERE THE FIRST STATE IN THE
COUNTRY TO ENACT THAT. HOWEVER
IN GOING IN GOING THROUGH THIS
COMMITTEE. OF FOUR YEARS AGO WE
AGREED TO SOME RESTRICTIONS ON
THE BILL WE WORKED WITH- THE
OPPONENTS AND WITH VICTOR THE-
COMMITTEE AT THE TIME- AND WE
PUT CERTAIN LIMITATIONS ON THE
BILL. AND WE DID THAT IN GOOD
FAITH- FOUR YEARS LATER IT'S
CLEAR- THAT ONE OF THOSE
RESTRICTIONS IS NOT WORKING AND
IS A MAJOR IMPEDIMENT TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS BILL AND-
BY AND LARGE PHARMACIES HAVE
NOT. IMPLEMENTED THIS BILL THEY
HAVE NOT OPTED IN AND THEY'RE
TELLING US TO MOVE TO HAVE DATA
AND TALK IN THE PHARMACIES AND
PHARMACISTS. THAT THE BILL
LIMITATION THE BILL THAT A
PHARMACIST CAN ONLY THE SPENT.
SIXTY DAYS WORTH EVERY TWO
YEARS- IT DOES NOT. AND THAT AND
THAT FOR DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH
IT- AND SO THEY'RE NOT. IN
ADDITION THE OTHER IMPEDIMENT-
THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IS-
THAT INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE NOT
REIMBURSING. PHARMACISTS FOR THE
TIME AND EFFORT IN COMPLYING
WITH THE BILL SO YOU CAN'T JUST
WALK IN AND GET THE PILLS. YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A NEGATIVE EACH IV
TESTER DIFFERENT- STEPS THAT THE
PHARMACIST HAS TO TAKE. TO
ENSURE THAT PROP IS APPROPRIATE
FOR YOU AND THE PHARMACIES ARE
NOT BEING REIMBURSED. FOR THAT
TIME. THIS BILL. REMOVES THE
SIXTY DAY. LIMITATION IT MAKES
IT NINETY DAYS BUT YOU CAN GO
BEYOND THE NINETY DAYS- AND
REQUIRES HEALTH PLANS TO
REIMBURSE FOR THE TIME I DO WANT
TO SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH WE WERE
THE FIRST THE THIS IS THE-
GREAT. THING ABOUT OUR STATE
LEGISLATION AFTER WE PASSED SB
ONE FIFTY NINE MULTIPLE OTHER
STATES- UTAH- COLORADO AND I'M
FORGETTING ONE- MULTIPLE STATES.
FIVE FOLLOWED OUR LEAD. BUT THEY
DID IT WITHOUT. THE SIXTY DAY
LIMITATION AND WE HAVE TO
PREPARE A CHART LOOKING AT ALL
THESE OTHER STATES NONE OF THEM
IS A SIXTY DAY LIMITATION IN
PLACE AND THEY ALL. YOU TO
REQUIRE REIMBURSEMENT OR WORKING
TOWARDS REQUIRE REIMBURSEMENT
AND THEY'RE SUCCEEDING IN THOSE
STATES SO WE WORKED IN GOOD
FAITH IN THIS COMMITTEE FOUR
YEARS AGO ONE PIECE OF THE
MEMORIES THAT WE TALK. IS NOT
WORKING- WE NEED TO FIX THAT
TODAY- IF WE CAN EXPAND ACCESS
TO PROP- WE CAN JUST REALLY TANK
NEW HIV INFECTIONS I WILL BE
BETTER OFF AS A RESULT. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS AND WITH ME TODAY- TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OR MARIA
LOPEZ WHO- IS THE PRESIDENT OF
MISSION WELLNESS PHARMACY A
COMMUNITY PHARMACY IN SAN
FRANCISCO. AND OTHER- THAT THE
SCOTT HYMAN WHO IS THE MEDICAL
DIRECTOR OF THE SAN FRANCISCO
AIDS FOUNDATION. THANK YOU
SENATOR MS LOPEZ. ON A
WHEELCHAIR COMMITTEE MEMBERS HI
MY NAME IS MARIA LOPEZ AND- AS
THE SENATOR INTRODUCED I AM A
PHARMACIST AND- LEAD. A PROGRAM
IMPROPER ARE WE SERVED ON THE
COMMITTEE PHARMACY WE SERVE- A
DIVERSE COMMUNITY WERE IN THE
HISPANIC LATINO DISTRICT OF
MISSION- IN SAN FRANCISCO AND WE
HAVE- EXPERIENCES THAT TRUST IN
THOSE COMMUNITIES. I'M ALSO ACT

LOT LONGER AND CONVENIENT HOURS
THE MEDICAL OFFICES AND OUR
STAFF BY PHARMACISTS WHO KNOW
THE MEDICATIONS MAINTAIN
ESTABLISH RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN
THE COMMUNITIES THEY SERVE. AND
HAVE EXISTING REPORT WITH
PATIENTS AND THIS IS KEY TO IT
HERE. BASED ON PUBLISHED MODELS
WHICH MISSION WELL THIS IS ONE.
FORMER CAN SAVE AND IF PROVIDE
PREP AND PAP WHICH IS WHY THE
CDC AND FEDERAL PARTNERS SUPPORT
PHARMACISTS PROVIDING. WEAPON
PATH. AS A SENATOR MENTIONED S.
B. ONE FIVE NINE WAS THE FIRST
BILL NATION IT IS THE MOST
RESTRICTIVE SB THREE THREE NINE
WILL ADDRESS THESE BARRIERS. THE
SIXTY DAY SUPPLY LIMIT IS NOT IN
LINE WITH THE CDC GUIDELINES
WHICH RECOMMENDS NINETY DAYS A
DISPENSING. AND THE ONES TIME
SUPPLY EVERY TWO YEARS DOES
NOTHING FOR CALIFORNIA
PHARMACISTS TO INCREASE ACCESS
TO PREP BECAUSE THERE'S A
SHORTAGE OF PROVIDERS AND
PATIENTS CANNOT ACCESS ONGOING
PROP. LACK OF REIMBURSEMENT DOES
REMAIN A MAJOR BARRIER THE
PHARMACIST. AND WHILE OUR
PROGRAMMING SAN FRANCISCO HAS
RECEIVED LIMITED SUPPORT THE
MERE FACT WE CANNOT BILL FOR
SERVICES. GREATLY HINDERS OUR
ABILITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES FOR
ALL PATIENTS WHO SEEK PROPER
SITE AND WE HAVE EVEN HAD TO
TURN AWAY PATIENTS TO THIS AREA.
TO BE CLEAR WE HAVE APPROACH
INSURANCE COMPANIES ABOUT
PAYMENT FOR SERVICES. AND HAVE
REPEATEDLY BEEN TOLD THEY DO NOT
HAVE A MECHANISM TO PAY US.
PHARMACISTS HAVE AUTHORITY TO
ORDER ALLOWS FOR MEDICATION
MANAGEMENT AND SB THREE THREE
NINE. OUTLINED PLANS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE CDC
GUIDELINES. NATIONAL PHARMACY
SCHOOL TRAINING STANDARDS
REQUIRE PHARMACY STUDENTS TO
INTERPRET LABORATORY TESTS PRIOR
TO GRADUATION. THIS BILL TAKES
INTO ACCOUNT THE VARYING LEVELS
OF PHARMACY CITING. SOME SITES
CAN PROVIDE NINETY DAYS WHILE
OTHERS CAN PROVIDE ON GOING.

OTHER PREVENTATIVE TOOLS AND
THAT PREP CAN EASILY BE
IMPLEMENTED AND INTEGRATED INTO

WILL ADDRESS THESE KEY GAPS THAT
WE HAVE IN EXPANDING. ACCESS TO
OUR COMMUNITIES ARE MOST IN NEED
OF THIS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
PREVENTION INTERVENTION IT CAN
BE PROVIDED SAFELY AND
EFFECTIVELY BY PHARMACIST IS
ALREADY BEEN SHOWN. BOTH IN
CALIFORNIA OUTSIDE OF
CALIFORNIA- AND IT REALLY WOULD
ALLOW US TO REDUCE THE HASSLE
FACTOR THAT OUR PATIENTS SO
WE'VE INTERVIEWED THEM AROUND.
WHY THEY DIDN'T START CRAP OR
WHY THEY STOP TRAP. IT WAS ALL
THE DIFFICULT THAT THEY HAD
GETTING INTO PROVIDERS-
FOLLOWING UP WITH PROVIDERS AND
GETTING THEIR PRESCRIPTIONS
REFILLED. AND THE PHARMACIES

COMMENTS QUESTIONS. THERE WILL
HAVE MOVE THE ITEMS ARE EGGMAN
QUESTION. SO IN THE STATE'S UTAH
WELL WITH THE- TO. HAVE I DO
HAVE SOME OUT ITS COLORADO
NEVADA OREGON UTAH OKAY SO IN
STATES WHERE WE HAVE ROOM THERE
DOT THE SIXTY DAY. HAVE WE SEEN
THE HIGHER HIGHER USAGE IN THE
STATE- YES- AND JUST TO BE CLEAR
IN COLOR COLORADO NEVADA AND
UTAH THERE NO TIME LIMITATIONS
OR AGAIN IS- IS GOING IS
BASICALLY BURKE STATE THAT WERE.
FOLLOWING WITH NINETY DAYS BUT
THEN I CAN BE RENEWED- AND WE
ARE SEEING BETTER SUCCESS IN
THOSE STATES ARE ONCE IT'S
EMPHASIZED. IT'S NOT THAT WE'VE
BEEN MODERATELY SUCCESSFUL IN
CALIFORNIA WE HAVE BEEN VERY
UNSUCCESSFUL- AND SO WE TRIED-
THE APPROACH. OF LIMITING IT
DIDN'T WORK. I'M OKAY AND YOUR
CONTENTION IS IT DOESN'T WORK
BECAUSE IT'S TOO HARD TO KEEP
TRACK OF A SIXTY DAY SUPPLY IF
YOU FLAG GAVE TEN IF YOU GAVE
TWENTY EIGHT IN THE COURSE OF
THE TIME LIMIT IT'S CHALLENGING
TO TRACK IT BUT ALSO FROM THE
PHARMACIES PERSPECTIVE IF YOU
CAN YOU CAN YOU CAN ONLY GET.
GIVEN ONE TIME AT EVERY FEW
YEARS IT'S JUST FOR THE PARK
THESE PHARMACISTS HAVE TO GO
THROUGH TRAINING- THE BOARD OF
PHARMACY IMPLEMENTED THAT THEY
HAVE TO SET UP SYSTEMS. THERE'S
A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS TO BE
DONE IF YOU CAN ONLY GIVE THEM
BASICALLY IT SIX THEIR SUPPLY
EVERY TWO YEARS AS A PHARMACY
IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO JUSTIFY.
DOING THAT WHICH IS WHY THEY
THEY REALLY HAVE PLUS THE
REIMBURSEMENT ISSUE. THANK YOU.

GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
COLLEAGUES I'M HERE TODAY TO
PRESENT SENATE BILL FOUR ONE
EIGHT WHICH WOULD CREATE THE
PRISON REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
AND DIRECT THE COMMISSION TO
PROVIDE CALIFORNIA WITH A
DETAILED STRATEGY TO CONVERT
CLOSED PRISONS INTO LOCAL
ASSETS. THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO
THE NEEDS AND CONDITIONS OF
LOCAL COMMUNITIES. AS PART OF
LAST YEAR STATE BUDGET THE
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND
REHABILITATION AND WAS DIRECTED
TO CLOSE AMONG OTHERS THE
CHUCKWALLA VALLEY STATE PRISON.
IN THE CITY OF LIFE WHICH IS IN
MY DISTRICT. THE BUDGET CALLS
FOR A RESILIENCY PLAN TO BE
DEVELOPED FOR IMPACTED EMPLOYEES
PROVIDING THEM WITH HIRING
PREFERENCES AT STATE AGENCIES
AND OTHER FORMS OF EMPLOYMENT
AND ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE. THIS
RESILIENCY PLAN SOUGHT TO
ADDRESS THE IMMEDIATE NEEDS OF
THE WORK FORCE THAT ARE IMPACTED
AND AFFECTED BY PRISON CLOSURES
IT DID NOT ADDRESS THE ECONOMIC
IMPACT SPECIFICALLY ON THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY ITSELF CONCERNS THAT
COULD BE DRIVEN AND RAISED IN
HIGHLIGHTED BY THE COMMUNITY
ITSELF OR SPECIFIC TO THE
DISPOSITION OF. STATE CAPITAL
FACILITIES. MOST OF CALIFORNIA
STATE PRISONS ARE LOCATED IN
RURAL ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES WERE PRISON SERVE AS
A CENTRAL ECONOMIC DRIVERS. FOR
EXAMPLE IN THE CITY OF LIFE OR
CVS P. IS LOCATED IT HAS A
BACHELOR'S ATTAINMENT RATE OF
ABOUT SEVEN POINT 3% COMPARED TO
THE STATE AVERAGE OF THIRTY SIX
POINT THREE. AND THE MEDIAN
INCOME IN BLYTH IS ALMOST HALF
OF THE STATE MEDIAN. BY CLOSING
THE STATE'S PRISONS WITHOUT
DEVELOPING DETAILED STRATEGIES
IN ADVANCE TO REPURPOSE THESE
FACILITIES AND TO MITIGATE. THE
CLOSURES. THE STATUS EFFECTIVELY
ELIMINATING THE ECONOMIC HUB IN
THESE COMMUNITIES AND NOT.
OFFERING TIMELY ALTERNATIVES.
THE STATE NEEDS TO COME UP WITH
A DETAILED PLAN AND SPECIFIC
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE
COMMUNITY DRIVEN. SO THEY CAN
CONTINUE TO SERVE AS ECONOMIC
ASSETS TO THESE COMMUNITIES.
THIS NEED IS ONLY INTENSIFIED BY
THE FACT THAT THE L. A-
ANTICIPATES THAT THE STATE WILL
NEED TO CLOSE AN ADDITIONAL FIVE
PRISONS WITHIN THE NEXT DECADE.
SB FOUR EIGHTEEN SIX TO CREATE A
METHOD WHICH CAN BUILD ON
EXISTING EFFORTS
ADMINISTRATIVELY PROVIDE A
COMMON STRUCTURE AND
TRANSPARENCY TO BRIDGE THE GAP.
BETWEEN THESE CLOSURES AND
CONTINUED ECONOMIC HEALTH OF
THESE COMMUNITIES. JUST RECENTLY
THE STATE OF NEW YORK WHICH IS
CLOSE MORE THAN TWENTY PRISONS
IN THE LAST FIFTEEN YEARS
ESTABLISH THEIR OWN PRE PRESENT
REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION. WHICH
WAS TASKED WITH FINDING NEW AND
CREATIVE WAYS FOR THE PURPOSE TO
REPURPOSE VACANT AND OFTEN
BLIGHTED CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
THAT ARE NO LONGER NEEDED. PORT
OF THE COMMISSION WAS ABLE TO
GENERATE RELEASED WITH THE
ENTIRE TOOL KIT. OF IDEAS THAT
THE STATE COULD PROBABLY PURSUE
AS THEY LOOK TO HELP THE AREAS
IMPACTED BY CLOSURES. BY
FOLLOWING SOME OF THIS EXAMPLE
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA CAN
ENSURE THE COMMUNITIES AFFECTED
BY THE CLOSURES CAN REPURPOSE
THE SITES. TO MITIGATE THE
NEGATIVE IMPACTS ON LOCAL
COMMUNITIES. WITH ME TODAY IS
FULLY ON CUEVAS DIRECTOR OF

CENTER JUST MENTION YOUR
CURRENTLY MOST STATE PRISONS ARE
LOCATED AND THEN AND KIND OF
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES. WHICH
HAVE BEEN DISPROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTED BY ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS-
PRISONS HAVE SERVED AS PRINCIPAL
ECONOMIC ENGINES FOR REAL-
COMMUNITIES WITH APPROXIMATELY
FORTY THOUSAND EMPLOYEES ACROSS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. GIVEN
THE ECONOMIC EFFECTS PRISON
CLOSURES WOULD HAVE SB FOUR
EIGHTEEN WOULD PROVIDE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES. TO HELP WITHSTAND
THE IMPACTS ON LOCAL ECONOMIES
IT CREATING A PRISON
REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION WILL
HELP TURN PRISON DEVELOPMENT
REDEVELOPMENT IT'S ECONOMIC
DRIVERS FOR THESE COMMUNITIES
THAT MERE THE STATE'S GOAL TO
CREATE AN ECONOMY. THAT WORKS
FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS- CREATING
THIS COMMISSION OF FIFTEEN
MEMBERS WITH DIVERSE EXPERTISE
WOULD HELP MITIGATE THE NEGATIVE
IMPACTS OF THESE CLOSURES AND
CREATE POSITIVE. LASTING
BENEFITS TO COMMUNITIES FOR
GENERATIONS TO COME. AS A
SENATOR JUST MENTIONED AS WE'VE
SEEN IN THE NEW YORK PRISON
REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION REPORT
YOU KNOW REDEVELOPING CALIFORNIA
STATE PRISONS INTO COMMUNITY
ASSETS CONSERVE THE LOCAL
POPULATIONS IN VARIOUS WAYS.
INCLUDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING JOB
TRAINING CENTERS AND
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDUSTRY
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT. FOR THESE
REASONS I EGO SUPPORTS SB FOUR
EIGHTEEN IN ORDER TO HELP
STREAMLINE THE REDEVELOPMENT
PROCESS AND BRING ABOUT QUICKER
SOLUTIONS TO OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES- HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS OF THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SIR NEXT. GOOD AT NATASHA ON
BEHALF OF SMART JUSTICE
CALIFORNIA. MARCUS'S CALIFORNIA
STRONGLY SUPPORTS PRISON
CLOSURES PROJECTIONS ARE THAT WE
WILL SOON HAVE TWENTY THOUSAND
VACANT PRISON BEDS. THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
SAYS THAT WE CAN SAFELY CLOSE
FIVE OR SEVEN PRISONS IN
ADDITION TO THOSE THAT ARE
ALREADY SLATED FOR CLOSURE. IN
OTHER WORDS CALIFORNIA CAN
SAFELY CLOSE ALMOST ONE THIRD OF
OUR PRISONS. THIS WOULD MAKE A
VALUE AVAILABLE BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS THAT WE CAN SPEND ON
HOUSING HEALTH CARE AND
EDUCATION. SB FOUR EIGHTEEN IS A
SMART BILL BECAUSE IT RECOGNIZES
THAT PRISON CLOSURE CAN BE
APPROACHED AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
ECONOMIC REVITALIZATION AND
REINVENTION FOR THE COMMUNITIES
WHERE THESE PRISONS ARE LOCATED
. MODELED OFF OF A SUCCESSFUL
EFFORT IN NEW YORK SB FOUR
EIGHTEEN BRINGS TOGETHER STATE
AND LOCAL STAKEHOLDERS. TO FIND
WAYS TO MAKE PRISON FACILITIES
ON THE GROUNDS THAT THEY SIT ON
INTO CREATIVE COMMUNITY ASSETS
SB FOUR EIGHTEEN IS A SMART BILL

MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS A FEW WEEKS
AGO THIS COMMITTEE HELD AN
OVERSIGHT HEARING. REGARDING
CANNABIS REGULATION TO HEAR
ABOUT THE CHALLENGES SOME
PROGRESS AND NEXT STEPS AND ONE
ITEM THAT WAS MENTIONED
THROUGHOUT THE VARIOUS PANELS.
IS HOW EXPENSIVE AND TIME
CONSUMING THE APPLICATION
PROCESS IS SPECIFICALLY
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW- THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW IS CRITICAL
AND SHOULD BE COMPLETED BUT AS
MENTIONED BEFORE THE COMMITTEE.
OF THE PROCESS IS EXPENSIVE AND
TIME CONSUMING AND DUPLICATIVE-
THIS BILL AIMS TO STREAMLINE THE
REVIEW AND APPROVAL PROCESS OF
ANNUAL CANNABIS LICENCES BY
ELIMINATING A REDUNDANCY QUOTE
REVIEW BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
CANADA CANNABIS CONTROL AFTER A
LOCAL JURISDICTION IS COMPLETED
A SITE SPECIFIC REVIEW. SERVED
TO BE CLEAR. RIGHT NOW TO SEE
CORPS REVIEWS ARE REQUIRED THIS
BILL WOULD REDUCE IT TO ONE. NOT
WIPING AWAY THE REVIEW IT'S
TAKING IT FROM DOING IT TWICE TO
DOING IT ONCE I AUTHORED A
SIMILAR BILL LAST YEAR S. B.
ELEVEN FORTY EIGHT WHICH PASSED
THIS COMMITTEE WITH UNANIMOUS
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. BUT SINCE
THIS PROBLEM A REMAINS AS A
BARRIER TO ENTRY I'M HERE ONCE
AGAIN TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO
ADDRESS IT. ARM YOUR WE HAVE
SEEN VARIOUS BILLS UPDATE TO
LEGAL CANNABIS FRAMEWORK BIG
BECAUSE IT'S IMPERATIVE TO MAKE
A REGULATED SYSTEM WORK ONE
INDICATOR OF THE ILLICIT MARKETS
THREAT TO THE LEGAL AND
REGULATED MARKET AND THE
ENVIRONMENT IS THE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS ALMOST A HUNDRED AND
THIRTY FOUR. MILLION DOLLARS
THAT ARE ALLOCATED IN THE STATE
BUDGET AND PASS BUDGETS TO CLEAN
UP AND REMEDIATE THE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS CREATED BY
ILLEGAL CANNABIS CULTIVATION.
FOR MYSELF INDIVIDUALLY ONE OF
THE REASONS I SUPPORTED THE
INITIATIVE WAS AS RESOURCES
SECRETARY SOME OF THE AGENCIES
WERE INVOLVED. IN OUR RECALL ONE
IN NORTHEAST MENDOCINO COUNTY
WHERE. THERE WAS ILLEGAL
PESTICIDES ILLEGAL DIVERSION OF
WATER GUNS WERE ON THE PROPERTY
THERE ARE A WHOLE HOST OF THINGS
THAT JUST WERE DETRIMENTAL TO
THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND
NOT GOOD PUBLIC POLICY AND
HAVING A REGULATED. INDUSTRY
REALLY WOULD ADDRESS THOSE
ISSUES AND WHAT IT'S REALLY
ABOUT IS MAKING THE REGULATION
WORK SO PEOPLE COME IN. AND
ACTUALLY USE IT CURRENTLY
THERE'S NO REGISTERED OPPOSITION
BUT MYSELF AND MY STAFF HAVE
BEEN MEETING WITH LAST YEAR'S
OPPOSING GROUPS AND HOPE THAT WE
WILL BE ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
BRING. APPLICANTS INTO A
REGULATED SYSTEM AND TO ADDRESS
ANY REMAINING ISSUES HERE TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL IS

ORDINANCES FOR COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS CULTIVATION. OVER THE
PAST SEVEN YEARS. IN TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY ONE WE UNDERTOOK
A TECHNICAL ANALYSIS TO STUDY
THE FUNCTIONAL INTERPLAY BETWEEN
SYKORA STATE LICENSING AND LOCAL
LAND USE REGULATIONS FOR
CANNABIS THAT REPORT CAN BE
FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE I WON'T GO
INTO DETAILS ABOUT IT NOW. BUT
THE REPORT FINDINGS INDICATE
THAT THE CURRENT SYSTEM IS
DUPLICATIVE INEFFICIENT AND
ANOMALOUS TO NORMA'S NORMAL
SEQUEL PROCESS FLOW WHICH IS
SIGNIFICANTLY CHALLENGING
IMPLEMENTATION. UNDER NORMAL
PROCESS FLOW SEEK REVIEW FOR
LOCAL PROJECTS ARE GENERALLY
UNDER THE PURVIEW OF A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT. SB FIVE OH EIGHT SIX
TO BETTER ALIGN THE CANNABIS
FRAMEWORK WITH NORMAL SEQUEL
PROCESS FLOW. SB FIVE AWAIT
FURTHER THIS CRITICAL MULTI YEAR
EFFORT OF THE STATE TO REMOVE
DUPLICATIVE LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS ENHANCE
COORDINATION BETWEEN THE STATE.
AND LOCAL CANNABIS REGULATING

SYSTEM. IN TURN STRENGTHENING

BILL THEREFORE DIRECTS THE
DEPARTMENT OF A CANNABIS CONTROL
IN CONSULTATION WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO
REEVALUATE ITS EXISTING CANNABIS
LABELING REQUIREMENTS BEGINNING
IN TWENTY TWENTY FIVE AND EVERY
FIVE YEARS THEREAFTER. IT ALSO
ESTABLISHES A STAKEHOLDER
PROCESS IN COORDINATION WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO
DEVELOP A BROCHURE THAT WILL BE
MADE AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS ON
RESPONSIBLE USE. THESE
STAKEHOLDERS WOULD INCLUDE AMONG
OTHERS MEDICAL EXPERTS YOU
SERVICES REPRESENTATIVES AND
PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES- MY OFFICE
AND THE BILL'S SPONSORS AREN'T
CONTINUED DIALOGUE WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS TO ADDRESS
OUTSTANDING CONCERNS. BUT I WANT
TO POINT OUT SOME SPECIFIC
CHANGES THAT I'M PREPARED TO
MAKE. IT TO THE BILL- TO ADDRESS
ISSUES RAISED BY THE OPPOSITION
ASSUMING IT'S APPROVED BY THIS
COMMITTEE TODAY. FIRST I WOULD
AMEND THE BILL TO REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT OF CANNABIS- CAN TO.
THE EXISTING REQUIREMENTS ON OR
BEFORE JULY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE. AND EVERY FIVE YEARS
THEREAFTER BEGINNING JULY FIRST
TWENTY THIRTY I'M HOPEFUL THAT
THIS CHANGE WILL RESOLVE SOME OF
THE CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN
RAISED. SECOND CONCERNING THE
ADVISORY COMMITTEE I'LL BE
MODIFYING THE LANGUAGE TO ALLOW
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS AT
THE DIRECTION OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF CANNABIS CONTROL AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
LAST LUIS LASTLY I AM VERY
SENSITIVE TO CONCERNS THAT HAVE
BEEN EXPRESSED PERTAINING TO THE
DISTRIBUTION OF THE BROCHURE
WHICH IS CURRENTLY UPON REQUEST
I'M WORKING WITH THE INDUSTRY TO
STRENGTHEN THAT LANGUAGE. TO
BETTER INFORM CONSUMERS WILL NOT
GENERATING ADDITIONAL PAPER.
WASTE IN THE INDUSTRY FOR
INSTANCE THERE'S A CONSENSUS
THAT THE BROCHURE SHOULD BE
PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED I'M ALSO
EXPLORING HOW WE ENSURE THAT
CUSTOMERS WHO ARE HAVING
CANNABIS DELIVERED HAVE ACCESS
TO THIS INFORMATION. BUT JOINING
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OF SAME JENKINS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CANNABIS INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR I. BOATS JENKINS PLEASE
PROCEED THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AMY
JENKINS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CANNABIS INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION. WHICH REPRESENTS
SEVERAL HUNDRED LICENSED
CANNABIS OPERATORS AND ANCILLARY
COMPANIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA. I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
INTRODUCING THIS BILL THERE'S
BEEN A LOT OF CONVERSATION AS
SOME OF YOU KNOW ABOUT OUR
EXISTING LABELING- AND BROCHURE
REQUIREMENTS SO AND THIS IS OUR
PROACTIVE EFFORTS TO AB ATTEMPTS
TO ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS- AS A
LEADING TRADE ASSOCIATION WE'VE
ACTUALLY BEEN IN THIS DIALOGUE
FOR SOME TIME- WE HAVE A LONG
HISTORY. OF SUPPORTING POLICIES
THAT PROMOTE SAFE AND
RESPONSIBLE CANNABIS CONSUMPTION
AND WE HAVE BEEN PROACTIVELY
WORKING TO DEVELOP COMPREHENSIVE
LAWS AIMED AT CURBING YOUTH
ACCESS ESTABLISHING APPROPRIATE
STANDARDS FOR THE MANUFACTURING
. AND LABELING OF ALL CANNABIS
PRODUCTS AND- ENFORCEMENT. TO
UPHOLD CALIFORNIA'S COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS LAWS AND REGULATIONS
AND WE HAVE ALSO PARTNERED WITH
THE DEPARTMENT AND ITS
PREDECESSOR THE BUREAU AS WELL
AS THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH TO PURSUE PUBLIC
AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS. THAT INFORM
CANNABIS CONSUMERS ABOUT HOW TO
IDENTIFY A LICENSED CANNABIS
BUSINESSES AND PRODUCTS AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF CONSUMING LEGAL
PRODUCTS BUT NONE THE LESS AS
THE SENATOR NOTED- OUR EFFORTS
TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE
INTEGRITY OF THE MARKET NEED TO
CONTINUE TO BE FINE TUNED. SO
WE'RE VERY APPRECIATIVE OF THE
SENATORS WORK AND COLLABORATION
AND WE FEEL THIS THIS REPRESENTS
A GOOD STEP FORWARD- WITH THIS
NEW BROCHURE WHICH WILL REQUIRE
A FIVE YEAR REVIEW AS WELL AS
WITH THEIR LABELING
REQUIREMENTS. AND WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS MEASURE TODAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
HERE IN ROOM TWENTY ONE HUNDRED
PLEASE STEP FORWARD NAME

BILL PLEASE. PAMELA LOPEZ ON

RICHARD MEMBERS MARK SMITH ON
BEHALF OF ORIGINS COUNCIL IN
SUPPORT THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT HERE IN
ROOM TWENTY ONE HUNDRED. SEEING
NONE LET'S MOVE ON TO LEAD
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION TO
SENATE BILL FIVE FORTY ANY
OPPOSITION WITNESSES SENATE
BILL. FIVE FORTY. THIS CARE IS
FROM. THE DOCTOR LENDS OVER THE
PUBLIC HEALTH INSTITUTE OUR
POSITION IS TO OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED. YOU SHOULD THE INTENT
OF THE AUTHOR AND THE OPENNESS
OF THE COMMITTEE TO AMENDMENTS
AND SOME OF THE AMENDMENTS YOU
JUST MENTION MR LAYERED- AND
ALSO THE WISE PASSAGE LAST YEAR
BY THIS COMMITTEE OF THE
CANNABIS RIGHT TO KNOW ACT.
HOWEVER WE ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED
THAT THE BILL AS CURRENTLY
PROPOSED WILL DELAY RATHER THAN
SUPPORT ACTUALLY INFORMING
CONSUMERS. ABOUT SERIOUS MENTAL
HEALTH AND OTHER RISKS FROM
TODAY'S TURBOCHARGED CANNABIS
PRODUCTS. WE'VE SEEN A 75%
INCREASE IN EMERGENCY ROOM
VISITS ASSOCIATED WITH CANNABIS
USE. INCREASES IN PSYCHOSIS OF
YOUNG PEOPLE AND OTHER ISSUES.
SO AS CURRENTLY PROPOSED IT
REQUIRES A FLYER THAT WILL NOT
ACTUALLY BE GIVEN TO ANYONE
UNLESS THEY KNOW TO ASK FOR IT I
APPRECIATE YOUR OPENNESS TO
CHANGING THAT ASPECT. ON IT
ALSO- DOES NOT REQUIRE THE
DEPARTMENT OF CANNABIS CONTROL
TO ADD MISSING WARNINGS ON
MENTAL HEALTH WHICH ARE
COMPLETELY ABSENCE AT THIS TIME-
AND IT INCLUDES ON THE
SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY COMMITTEE
PEOPLE WHO STAND TO DIRECTLY.
PROFIT FROM THE SALE OF CANNABIS
WHICH IS ANOTHER REQUEST THAT WE
MADE. WE WOULD NOT DO THAT WITH
A PHARMACEUTICAL PRODUCT FOR
EXAMPLE. WE SHOULD NOT DO THAT
WITH CANNABIS. HOMES SO
BASICALLY TOGETHER WITH YOU FOR
BE PROVIDED MODEST AMENDMENTS TO
THE BILL. A SIMILAR TO WHAT
EMERGED FROM ASSEMBLY B. AND P.
LAST YEAR. THAT THE FLYER WITH
KEY INFORMATION ACTUALLY BE
GIVEN AT LEAST TWO NEW
CONSUMERS. THAT MENTAL HEALTH
WARNINGS BE REQUIRED TO BE ADDED
BECAUSE THESE ARE SOME OF THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS WE'RE
SEEING IN. OUR HOSPITALS AND
CLINICS- IN ADDITION WE
APPRECIATE IT YOU WILL REQUIRE
THAT REVIEW TO OCCUR THANK YOU
FOR MAKING THAT CHANGE- AND THEN
WE ASK THAT THE SCIENTIFIC
ADVISORY COMMITTEE BE MADE UP.
OF SCIENTISTS- BUT EXEMPT FROM
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND NOT-
WITH REPRESENTATION OF THE
INDUSTRY AS IS TYPICAL IN ANY
SCIENTIFIC REVIEW COMMITTEE.
IT'S A LOT LESS THAN YOU PASSED
LAST YEAR BUT THAT WOULD MAKE
THE BILL ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY HELP
INFORM CONSUMERS AND KEEP THEM
SAFER. AND SO WE ASK- FOR THESE
AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL THANK
YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY. ANY OTHER WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE

STATED- A WARRANT- WE- ARE
SUPPORTING THE- PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL. I ALSO
WANT TO EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION
TO SENATOR LAYERED FOR. TAKING
LEADERSHIP ON THIS VERY CRITICAL
ISSUE. I JUST I GUESS THE ONE
POINT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IS
JUST REMIND EVERYONE. THAT WE
LEGALIZED CANNABIS IN CALIFORNIA
SEVEN YEARS AGO. AND SINCE THAT
TIME. THERE HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANT
CHANGES IN CANNABIS PRODUCTS.
WE'VE SEEN THE EMERGENCE OF
MARKETING AND- MUCH MORE KIND OF
AGGRESSIVE PROMOTION OF CANNABIS
IN THE STATE. AND I DO THINK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
TAKE TIME TO. REASSESS AND TO
PROVIDE CONSUMERS WITH UP TO
DATE INFORMATION AS WE LEARN
MORE ABOUT HEALTH RISKS FOR
PREGNANT WOMEN. AND CERTAINLY
THE MENTAL HEALTH RISKS THAT-
DOCTORS OVER MENTION SO THANK
YOU THANK YOU SIR ANY OTHER

LAYERED. I WANTED TO SPEAK ON
THIS ITEM FOR A COUPLE OF
REASONS ONE BECAUSE- I AM
FOLLOWING IN BIG SHOES FROM DR
PAN. AND I KNOW HE CARRIED THE
LAST ITERATION OF THIS BILL. AND
IT WAS IT HAD A LITTLE BIT MORE
AGGRESSIVE LANGUAGE AND I I'M
HEARING THAT FROM ADVOCATES
TODAY SOME OF WHOM ARE. MY
BACKYARD SO I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT IN MY MIND I LOVE THAT THAT
YOU STARTED TODAY WITH MOVING
FORWARD AND TAKING SOME
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT'S REALLY
GOOD. AND I'M HOPING THAT IN THE
PROCESS THAT YOU'LL MOVE EVEN
FARTHER I'M NOT REALLY ONE FOR
SAYING STOP NOW WHEN SOMETHING
IS A WORK IN PROGRESS I'D RATHER
GIVE YOU ALL THE OPPORTUNITY IN
THE WORLD TO. MOVE FORWARD MY
HOPE THOUGH IS THAT THIS WILL BE
A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE BY
THE TIME I GET TO SEE IT AGAIN
ON THE SENATE. FLOOR I DON'T
LOVE THAT THE COMMITTEE IS
SEEING SOMETHING THAT'S LESS
THAN WHAT THE COMMITTEE APPROVED
BEFORE FROM SENATOR PAN. BUT I
DO LOVE THAT YOU ARE NOT LETTING
THE CONVERSATION GO AWAY BECAUSE
IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION. AND I KNOW YOU'RE
HERE SPEAKING IN OPPOSITION AND
THAT YOU'RE A LITTLE BIT
OUTNUMBERED BY KEEP TALKING
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL AND I
DO THINK YOU'RE HELPING HIM.
MAKE GOOD PROGRESS ON THIS AND
ULTIMATELY GETTING US TO A PLACE
WHERE WE BETTER INFORM PEOPLE.
OF THE HEALTH RISKS ARE I HAPPEN
TO ALSO BE MARRIED TO AN ER
TRAUMA NURSE. AND SO I'M PRETTY
FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF THE
NUMBERS THAT YOU ALL HAVE
SHARED. AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE GET GOOD
INFORMATION IN THE HANDS OF
CONSUMERS. THANK YOU SENATOR
LAYERED BE SUPPORTING YOU TODAY.
THANK YOU CENTER NEXT CENTER NEW
LOW FIBER CENTER BECKER. THANK
YOU MISTER- GENERAL MAY TIMES
I'VE VOTE AGAINST THE MEASURE
THAT SORT OF A WORK IN PROCESS I
WILL NOT BE TODAY BUT I'M GOING
TO ECHO. THE COMMENTS MADE BY MY
FRIEND SENATOR ASHBY. FROM A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
AND THAT IS. THE VOTERS. IN THE
STATE. APPROVED ILLEGAL USE
LEGAL RECREATIONAL USE OF
CANNABIS. AND AT THE OUTSET YOU
DESCRIBE THE BROCHURE AS BEING
STEPS FOR THE SAFE FOR USE OF
CANNABIS. AT WORK HEADED IN. OUR
LAB OR DIRECTION BUT NONE THE
LESS- TO I HAVE THE APPROVAL OF
THE VOTERS AND SAFE USE OF
CABINET CANNABIS A LOT OF PEOPLE
CAN THINK WELL. IT'S FINE TO USE
THAT THERE ARE NO RISKS WHICH
THERE ARE OF COURSE WITH.
SUBSTANCES TOBACCO ALCOHOL AT
CETERA. AND SO I- SUPPORT THE
CONCERNS OF THOSE WHO STATED IN
OPPOSITION OF NOTHING LESS
AMENDED- THAT- THERE BE. GIVEN
ADEQUATE COVERAGE IN-
INFORMATION IS DISSEMINATED
ABOUT THE RISKS THAT EXIST FOR.
CANNABIS USE AND UP I TRUSTED

TRUST THAT YOU'LL BE UP PURSUING
THAT IN GOOD FAITH SO I WILL
SUPPORT THE BILL. THANK YOU SIR
CENTER BAKER. JASRAJ SAID SAY
FOR THANK YOU FOR. TAKING THE
SEVEN REALLY GLAD YOU'RE WORKING
ON IT AND- THE APOLOGY MISTER
MIRACLE JUST REPETITIVE ANYTHING
BUT- NUMBER ONE I WOULD HOPE
THAT WE CAN DO THIS BEFORE
JENNER SAYS UP TO TWENTY JANUARY
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE I HOPE IT IS
MUCH SOONER. THE THINK IT IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT- IMPORTANT BILL
AN IMPORTANT- THE DOCUMENT WILL
BE PRODUCING YEAH AND JUST TO
SAY THAT YOU KNOW ANECDOTALLY
I'VE HEARD FROM FOR IN A WE HEAR
ALL THE TIME NOW IS AT THAT. THE
STRAINS THAT ARE AVAILABLE NOW
ARE NOT THE STRAINS THAT- YOU
KNOW OF TWENTY THIRTY YEARS AGO

DON'T THINK. A LOT OF PEOPLE
REALIZE THAT AND I JUST HEARD
ANECDOTALLY FROM NUMBER FRIENDS
WHO HAD SPECIAL THE YOUNG MAN TO
HAVE HAD- YOU KNOW REALLY. YOU
KNOW BAD PSYCHOTIC EPISODES YOU
KNOW AS A RESULT OF A VALUE SO I

MY COLLEAGUES. THANK YOU SO

YOU VERY MUCH. AND ARE PRETTY TO
TELL. AND APPRECIATE THE
COMMENTS HERE. AND A FEW THINGS
ONE OF THE REASONS IT'S JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY FIVE IS IT
GOES INTO EFFECT ON JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. I
NEEDED TIME TO DO IT THAT THAT
THAT IS REALLY THE REASONS. ARE
FOR THAT DATE. AND WHAT WE ARE
TRYING TO DO HERE STRIKE A
BALANCE. AND THE AMENDMENTS
THAT- I HAVE EITHER TAKEN OR
PLEDGE TO TAKE. REALLY WORK HARD
TO MOVE MORE TO THAT BALANCE IN
WHO SERVES ON THE STAKEHOLDER
GROUPS SO IT INCLUDES. ARE MORE
OF THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY AND
OTHER PEOPLE THAT WERE
REFERENCE. AND WE TOOK SOME OF
THE AMENDMENTS ON THE
DISTRIBUTION BECAUSE WE DON'T
WANT. THIS TO BE SOMETHING WORTH
THOUSANDS OF THEIR GIVEN
MANDATORILY TO EVERYBODY
THOUSANDS OF THEM ARE THROWN
AWAY. BUT DID YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORK TO KNOW IT'S THERE THAT YOU
ACTUALLY CAN FIGURE IT OUT AND
IT CAN. A CAN HAPPEN AND PEOPLE
CAN ACCESS THIS INFORMATION
WITHOUT HAVING TO ASK FOR IT SO.
OUR WE WILL CONTINUE TO CONSIDER
THINGS BUT I FEEL LIKE. OUR THIS

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND

THANK THE CHAIRING COMMITTEES
AFTER THE WORK ON THIS BILL.
CLOSE ENOUGH THAT BETTER. WHICH
I. AND HOW TO TAKE THE PROPOSED
AUTHORS AMENDMENTS AT NOTED IN
THE ANALYSIS WHICH WE BELIEVE
ADDRESSED THE CLARITY. ISSUES
RAISED BY STAFF THANK YOU FOR
THAT SB SIX TWELVE WOULD CLARIFY
THAT THE PROVISIONS OF SB
FOURTEEN FIFTY THREE WHICH I
AUTHORED LAST YEAR APPLY ONLY TO
SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST WHO
ARE LICENSED ON OR AFTER JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY THREE. THE
ACCEPTED AUTHORS AMENDMENTS
CLARIFIED THAT SLP LICENSE PRIOR
TO JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
THREE ARE TO BE HELD TO THE SAME
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS AS THEY
WERE BEFORE SB FOURTEEN FIFTY
THREE WAS ENACTED. QUESTIONS HAD
PREVIOUSLY RISEN OVER WHETHER
THE AUTHORIZATION NEEDED FOR.
FOUR EIGHT SLB TO PERFORM A
FLEXIBLE AND ENDOSCOPIC
EVALUATION OF SWALLOWING
COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS FEES
PROCEDURE WITH A ONE TIME
AUTHORIZATION BASED ON THE SLPS
COMPETENT COMPETENCY OR REQUIRED
EACH TIME AN SLP HAD TO PERFORM
THE PROCEDURE. SB FOURTEEN FIFTY
THREE FROM LAST YEAR CLARIFY
THIS ISSUE BUT DID NOT SPECIFY
WHETHER THE NEW TREATY
PROVISIONS WERE RETROACTIVE.
RECENTLY THE SPEECH LANGUAGE
PATHOLOGY AND AUDIOLOGY BOARD
ANNOUNCED THEY INTERPRETED SB
FOURTEEN FIFTY THREE IN SUCH A
WAY THAT THEY WOULD APPLY THE
BILL'S NEW LANGUAGE. BILLS NEW
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS TO ALL SO
PEAS THIS MEANS THAT SOB'S WHO
WERE PERFORMED PERFORMING FEES
PRIOR TO TWENTY TWENTY THREE MAY
NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PERFORM
THEM WITHOUT NEEDING ADDITIONAL
TWENTY REQUIREMENTS. DESPITE
CLEAR COMPETENCY AND EXPERIENCE
TO BE CLEAR SB SIX TWELVE DOES
NOT DECREASE THE TRAINING
STANDARDS OF SOB'S AFTER S. B.
FOURTEEN FIFTY THREE SOB'S HAVE
TO RECEIVE A WRITTEN
VERIFICATION THAT THEY PERFORM
TWENTY FIVE. OF THE SAME
PROCEDURES. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE
IS THE CLARIFICATION OF WHO IS
SUPERVISING THESE TWENTY FIVE
PROCEDURES JOINING ME TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT IS LISA M. M.

CERTIFIED IN SWALLOWING AND
SWALLOWING DISORDERS. YOU TODAY
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
SPEECH LANGUAGE HEARING
ASSOCIATION I SAID ON THE FEES
TASK FORCE AND ON THE CASSIA
ADVOCACY COMMITTEE. SO FEES OR
FLEXIBLE ENDOSCOPIC EVALUATION
OF SWALLOWING IS AN OBJECTIVE
TOOL. THAT ALLOWS US TO MAKE
IMPORTANT CLINICAL DECISIONS
REGARDING SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
OF A PERSON'S WALLET FUNCTION
WHICH IS REALLY COMPLEX. IS A
SAFE PROCEDURE THAT CAN BE
FORMED HE PERFORMED WITH
PATIENTS WHO HAVE NEUROLOGICAL
DISORDERS STRUCTURAL A POST
OPERATIVE CHANGES OR TRAUMA TO
THEIR SMALL MUSCLES FUNCTION.
THESE ALLOWS THE CLINICIAN TO
ACTUALLY SEE INSIDE THE THROAT
USING A SMALL DIAMETER SCOPE ON
A PERSON'S FOLLOWING DIFFERENT
CONSISTENCIES OF FOOD AND LIQUID
MIXED WITH THE COLOR CONTRAST
FOR OPTIMAL VIEWING. THIS
ASSESSMENT WAS DEVELOPED BY
SUSAN LANG MORE WHO IS A SPEECH
PATHOLOGIST AND RESEARCHER BACK

CURRENTLY PERFORMED BY SPEECH
PATHOLOGIST ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND AROUND THE WORLD. FOR THE
CENTERS FOR MEDICARE- MINNESOTA
CPT CODE FOR FEES BACK IN THE
EARLY NINETIES WHICH REALLY
SHOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF PATIENTS
HAVING THIS CLINICAL TOOL- LAST
YEAR THIS COMMITTEE PASSED SB
FOURTEEN FIFTY THREE BY SENATOR
TO OPPOSE. A MEASURE THAT AMONG
OTHER PROVISIONS CLARIFY THE
RANGE OF MEDICAL HEALTH SETTINGS
IN WHICH FEES CAN BE PERFORMED.
BEST MEET A PATIENT'S MEDICAL
NEEDS. SB FOURTEEN FIFTY THREE
ALSO MADE CHANGES TO STATUTORY
REQUIREMENTS ABOUT SUPERVISION
OF SO PEAS- THEY'RE PRACTICING
PASSING FLEXIBLE SCOPE THAT IS
PART OF BUT NOT. THE WHOLE FEES
ASSESSMENT. THE CACHES SUPPORTS
SB SIX TWELVE AS AMENDED BECAUSE
IT CLARIFIES THAT LICENSE SPEECH
PATHOLOGIST TO HAVE RECEIVED
TRAINING. AND VERIFICATION AND
HAVE BEEN PERFORMING FEES FOR
YEARS OR EVEN DECADES IN SOME
CASES. CAN CONTINUE TO PERFORM
THIS IMPORTANT ASSESSMENT TO

EVALUATION OF SWALLOWING OR FEES
HAS BEEN A STAPLE IN SWALLOWING
DIAGNOSTICS SINCE NINETEEN

FEES EXAMINATION IS A LOW RISK
PROCEDURE THAT ALLOWS FOR
VISUALIZATION FOR SWALLOWING

DETERMINE IMPAIRMENTS AND
SWALLOWING FUNCTION AND DEVELOP
A PLAN OF CARE THAT RESULTS IN

NOTED IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
I APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE STAFF
WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE IN THIS
MATTER. AS PROPOSED TO BE
AMENDED SB SEVEN SEVEN EIGHT IS
A TECHNICAL MEASURE TO IMPROVE
THE CALL BEFORE YOU DIG LAW
CURRENT LAW GENERALLY REQUIRES
AN INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY PLANNING
TO PERFORM AN EXCAVATION TO
INFORM ONE OF THE TWO REGIONAL
NOTIFICATION CENTERS SO THAT
OPERATORS OF ANY UNDERGROUND
UTILITIES IN THE AREA CAN MARK
THEIR UNDERGROUND LINES THE LAW
IS INTENDED TO PREVENT
EXCAVATORS FROM DAMAGING
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES. IT'S ALSO
INTENDED TO PROTECT FROM INJURY
THOSE WORKING AROUND POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS UNDERGROUND LINES. THE
PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN SB SEVEN

MEMBERS I'M PRESENTING SP THREE
SIXTY WHICH WOULD AUTHORIZE THE
STATE CONTRACTORS LICENSE BOARD
CSL BE. TO REQUIRE APPLICANTS TO
PROVIDE AN EMAIL ADDRESS UPON
APPLICATION RENEWAL NUMBER FIVE
WHAT WOULD PROVIDE THAT A
CONTRACTORS FAILURE TO COMPLETE
TERMS OF PROBATION WOULD RESULT
IN A LICENSE REVOCATION.
CURRENTLY THE CSL BE COULD SPEND
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
EACH TIME THEY MAIL INFORMATION
TO THEIR TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVE
THOUSAND LICENSEES ABOUT
INDUSTRY BULLETINS ARE NOTICES
ABOUT MEETINGS THAT REQUIRE
LICENSE THE INPUT. THE CSL B. I
HAVE STARTED RELYING ON EMAILS
MEANS COMMUNICATE WITH LICENSEES
UNFORTUNATELY LICENSEES MUST
REQUEST TO BE ADDED TO THEIR
SYSTEM TO RECEIVE INFORMATION
VIA EMAIL RELATIVELY FEW HAVE
TAKEN THE TIME TO DO THAT. THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE APPLICANTS
AND LICENSEES TO PROVIDE THEIR
EMAIL ADDRESSES WHEN AVAILABLE.
ALSO THE CURRENCY SLB PROCESS
FOR ADDRESSING A CONTRACTOR
WHO'S FAILED TO MEET THE TERMS
OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION INVOLVES
REHEARING THE CASE TO A REIMPOSE

DISCIPLINE THIS BILL WOULD
AUTHORIZE THROUGH A PROCESS FOR

ENABLE CSL BE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THIS ITS LICENSE THE
POPULATION. OF MORE THAN TWO
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND. IN
A MANNER THAT IS LOW COST TIMELY
AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE.
SB SIX THIRTY WOULD ALSO
STANDARDIZE HOW DISCIPLINARY
CASES ARE RESOLVED WHEN
PROBATIONARY CONDITIONS ARE NOT
MET. PROBATIONARY TERMS ARE
PLACED ON A LICENSE IN LIEU OF
REVOCATION AFTER AN
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING THEREFORE
IT MAKES SENSE TO REVOKE THE
LICENSE WHEN THOSE TERMS ARE NOT
MET. YES I'LL BE AS AUTHORIZED
REIMPOSE REVOCATIONS CASES SUCH
AS WHEN A LICENSEE FAILS TO PAY
RESTITUTION HOWEVER WHEN A
CONTRACTORS ORDER TO COMPLETE
COURSEWORK OR RETAKEN
EXAMINATION. THIS WILL BE DOES
NOT HAVE THAT AUTHORITY. SB SIX
THIRTY WOULD CODIFY EXISTING
AUTHORITY AND REGULATION AND
STANDARDIZE HOW FAILURE TO
COMPLETE PROBATIONARY TERMS THAT
ARE RESULT. AUTHORIZES YES WILL
BE TO REIMPOSE REVOCATION FOR
FAILING TO MEET TERMS OF
PROBATION WAS STRENGTHENED
CONSUMER PROTECTION BY PROVIDING
