WE'RE HOLDING OUR COMMITTEE
HEARINGS HERE IN THE- STREET
BUILDING I WOULD ASK ALL MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE TO BE PRESIDENT
ROOM TWELVE HUNDRED SO WE CAN
ESTABLISH A QUORUM AND BEGIN OUR
HEARING- WE HAVE TWELVE BILLS ON
OUR AGENDA TODAY. ONE ITEM IS ON
CONSENT BY A AUTHORED BY THE
NAME OF BRADFORD S. B. EIGHT SIX
OH SO THAT'S A LITTLE SUSPECT-
BEFORE WE HEAR PRESENTATION THE
BILL WELL WE STILL CAN'T STOP TO
FORM BUT WE WILL HEAR FROM OUR
FIRST AUTHOR AND WAS THAT
SENATOR LAYERED UP SEE IF IT IS
HE HAS SB THIRTY EIGHT ZERO
SENATOR WHEN YOU'RE READY YOU
MAY BEGIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
CHAIRED MEMBERS. I WANT TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS MEASURE
WILL BE ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS THAT ARE NOTED IN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. LAST FALL
SHORTLY AFTER WE ADJOURNED WE
HAD TEN OF THE HOTTEST DAYS
CONTINUOUSLY IN MODERN TIMES.
DURING THAT TIME THERE WAS A
PERIOD OF HOURS WHERE BATTERY
STORAGE. POWER ACTUALLY HELPED
GET US THROUGH THAT TIME BATTERY
STORAGE HAS AND CREWS. HAS- AS
IS INCREASINGLY- PART OF FARM
ALL OF THE ABOVE ENERGY SOLUTION
. AND THIS BILL WILL ENSURE
BATTERY STORAGE FACILITIES HAVE
EMERGENCY RESPONSE. AND
EVACUATION PLANS IN THE EVENT AN
EMERGENCY ARISES WHILE THE
ANALYSIS STATES BATTERY ENERGY
STORAGE FACILITIES ARE SUBJECT
TO CAL OSHA REQUIREMENTS TO
PROVIDE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR
WORKERS. I BELIEVE THE CURRENT
STANDARD SHOULD BE SPECIFIC FOR
BATTERY STORAGE FACILITIES DUE
TO THE HIGH RISK NATURE
FACILITIES AND HOW WITH THE A
MARIN BATTERIES ARE EXTREMELY
SENSITIVE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES
AND ARE INHERENTLY FLAMMABLE.
FIVE AUTHORED THIS BILL IN
RESPONSE TO INCIDENTS THAT HAVE
HAPPENED A BATTERY STORAGE
FACILITIES IN MY DISTRICT THE
LAST FALL OF FIRE TO BATTERY
STORAGE FACILITY IN MOSS LANDING
CAUSED ROAD CLOSURES AND
RESIDENTS WERE ORDERED TO
SHELTER IN PLACE FOR HOURS. IN
RESPONSE TO CONCERNS RAISED BY
THE COMMUNITY REGARDING THESE
FACILITIES MONTEREY COUNTY BE
HOLDING A TOWN HALL TO PROVIDE
INFORMATION AND HEAR FROM THE
COMMUNITY DUE TO THE WINTER
STORMS OF THE TOWN HALL HAS BEEN
POSTPONED AND A NEW DATE HAS NOT
BEEN SET. ADDITIONALLY THERE'S A
PROPOSED BATTERY STORAGE
FACILITY IN MORAL BAY AND
RESIDENTS HAVE SHARED SAFETY
CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACILITY.
THAT COULD BE BUILT IN THEIR
COMMUNITY THIS BILL WILL NOT
ONLY HELP KEEP THOSE WITH IN THE
PREMISES OF THE FACILITY SAFE.
MAY GIVE PEACE OF MIND TO THOSE
LIVING OR WORKING NEAR THE
FACILITY. AS A STATE TRANSITIONS
TO ZERO CARBON FUTURE BATTERIES
WILL BE AN ARM PORTENT PIECE OF
THE PUZZLE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY
WITNESSES WITH ME TODAY BUT
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
I. PHONE. THANK YOU EVER THERE
ANY WITNESSES- LEAD WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT OF THIS ROGER. HEARING
TWELVE HUNDRED. NINETY NINE-
OKAY IS- ARE WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION YOU'RE IN THE ROOM TO
THIS MEASURE. HERRING TINA AND
MODERATOR NOW LET'S GO TO PHONE
LINES FOR ANYONE WISHING TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OR IN
OPPOSITION. OF SB THIRTY EIGHT
WE JUST WANT YOUR NAME
ORGANIZATION IN YOUR POSITION.
MODERATE PUSH. I THINK THAT I
MEAN IF YOU LIKE TO COMMENT AND
OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT OF. THIS
BILL YOU MAY PRESS ONE AT THE
RIGHT TIME. M. AT THE TIME IS
NOW IN Q. OKAY WILL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMUNITY F.
COMMITTEE IS THERE ANY QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS REGARDING THIS
MEASURE. OKAY AND WHEN IT'S
APPROPRIATE WHEN WE HAS
SUBSEQUENTLY STILL LOCK
UNLOCKING THAT TILL- CENTER
WHICH LIKE CLOSE OUTS IN ORDER
DALLY. THREE FOR THE BILL I JUST
WANTED TO ON THE ONE THE FIRE- I
WAS READING THE TO COVER ON YOUR
ON YOUR SEATS FIRESTAR IN THE
WILL WHAT TO TALK- THE MISSION
THAT COME OFF OF THOSE WHO IS
THE- SOMETHING WILL BE ADDRESSED
IN THIS WITH LEGISLATION AS WELL
FOR WE WITH REGARD TO THE-
SAFETY AND EVACUATION PLANS. AND
YOU SEE THERE'S A BUNCH OF
NUANCES THAT THE OF ANALYSIS.
ADDRESSES WHICH IS THEIR SAFETY
FOR INSIDE THE GATE THERE'S
CONCERNS FOR OUTSIDE THE GATE IN
SOME CASES. THEY'RE BEEN
MULTIPLE INCIDENTS IN ONE
INCIDENT WAS NOT A FIRE IT WAS A
FALSE RELEASE OF WATER ON THE
BATTERIES BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM
IN OTHER CASES THERE HAVE BEEN
FIRES- FORTUNATELY AT THIS POINT
NOT MAJOR. BUT THEY REFERRED TO
CLOUDS COMING OUT AND THAT'S
WHAT THEY NOTIFIED THE COMMUNITY
OF WHEN THEY SAID THEY SHOULD
SHELTER IN PLACE SO IT'S REALLY
ABOUT. THE SORT OF A HIGHER
LEVEL OF SAFETY WHICH REGARD TO
THE EMPLOYEES OF ACTUATION AND
SAFETY FOR THE COMMUNITIES AND
SOME LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE THAT
PEOPLE CAN EXPECT. THAT TO A-
THEY WILL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
AND HAVE PEOPLE OF INFORM THEM
SO LOCAL THE LOCAL PERMITTING
PROCESS RIGHT NOW DOES NOT
PROVIDE FOR THIS SAFETY LOW TO
INTERESTING YOU SHOULD SAY THAT
BECAUSE I HAVE A STAFFER IN THE
MONTEREY OFFICE THAT IS ON THE
COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION. SAID
THIS DID NOT COME UP IN THE
PROCESS OF PERMITTING ONE OF
THESE FACILITIES BECAUSE IT WAS
BELIEVE THAT STATE LAW WOULD
DEAL WITH FOR. A LOCAL AND WE
JUST TRY TO. THROUGH THIS BILL
ARE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE. ARE OUR SAFETY PLANS AND
OUR ABILITY TO HAVE SAFETY
KNOWLEDGE. DISTRIBUTED
APPROPRIATE TIME. OKAY SO. THE
FIFTH I DIDN'T READ DELAY ACTUAL
LANGUAGE OF YOUR BILL SO WHAT
I'M TRYING TO GET AS IF THE IF
THE ONE OF THESE DOES.
SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST FOR SOME
REASON. IF THE WINDS BONUS
CERTAINLY ARE SHELTERED PLACES
NOT WHICH WANT TO DO THERE YOU
WANNA GET OUT THE WAY THE PLUME
AT THAT POINT IS THAT IS THAT
GOING TO BE ABLE IF YOU HAVE A-
HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN AN
EVACUATION PLAN. TRIES TO
ADDRESS OKAY ISSUES A DIFFERENT
HOURS AND WE- THIS BILL STILL
NEEDS A LITTLE WORK AND WHAT YOU
JUST DESCRIBED IS OUR GOAL. OKAY
SO AS WE GET FEEDBACK WILL TRY
TO. AND DINNER SIR ART SHARE
TOLD. CENTER DOLLY GOT ME
THINKING. SO THAT'S DANGER HERE
IT IS IT IS AN INTERESTING- SO
FROM IT. BASICALLY BATTERIES ARE
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ISSUE. AND
MOST THE MOST FIRE AGENCIES ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING. THAT
ANY COMPANIES THAT COME INTO
THEIR REGION. ARE BEING
INSPECTED AND HAVE THESE TYPE OF
PLANS. IS THERE ARE NONE I MEAN
DID YOU CHECK WITH THE FIRE
AUTHORITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT
THIS ISN'T ALREADY ESSENTIALLY
IN PLACE WITH THEM IT'S NOT
TOTALLY IN PLACE WITH THEM AND
THEY- REALLY HAVE A DESIRE TO
HAVE CLARITY ON THIS ISSUE. AND
IT AND ALSO- THIS IS A HARBOR
THERE IS A HARBOR ADJACENT TO
ONE OF THESE IN THE HARBOR
COMMISSIONERS CAME AND VISITED
WITH ME. AND SAID THEY STILL
HAVE NOT HAD CLARITY ON SOME OF
THE IMPACTS OUT OF THIS ONE
PARTICULAR INCIDENT RIGHT
BECAUSE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR. THAT CASE CIRCULARS WATER
THAT'S PUT ON A FIRE AND IT
COULD THEORETICALLY WE CAN TO
THE BAG IT'S AN ISSUE.
ABSOLUTELY NO VICTIM WE'VE- DONE
INSPECTIONS WITH HAZARDOUS
MATERIALS- BUILDING SOME
BUILDINGS THAT CONTAIN A LOT OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. AND ALL OF
THOSE ELEMENTS ARE ACTUALLY PART
OF THE PLAN THAT THEY HAVE TO
PUT TOGETHER SO WHEN WE DO
RESPOND OUT THERE WE NOTICED
START WITH ENTITLED YOU WOULD
THINK. THAT IN SOME CASES THIS
IS A REQUIRED THING WHEN I WAS
IN THE ASSEMBLY I DID THE SAFETY
EVACUATION PLANS FOR FLOOD
CONTROL AND OUT OF INCIDENTS
THAT THAT WERE IN THE NORTH
STATE. AND WERE PART OF THE
FLIGHT PACKAGE SO I THINK WE ARE
FILLING IN IN PLACES ANOTHER
YEAH I CAN SEE THIS IS PROBABLY
JUST INDUCE THEM TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE DOING
SOMETHING THAT STATE SHOULD
PROBABLY ALREADY BE DOING. SO
ANYWAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU JUST
A HUNDRED OR ALL THANK YOU
MISTER. IT'S IN LIKE YOU'D BE A
GOOD TIME TO. MAKE SURE THAT
THERE- OSHA- SPECIFIC
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE EMPLOYEES
OF THE PLACE FOR CALIFORNIA HAS
SOME. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS NOW
BUT THE QUESTION IS ARE THESE
OUT AN ELEVATED LEVEL OF
SERIOUSNESS THAT YOU WANT TO PUT
A SPECIAL LIGHT ON IT AND THAT
IS. A SIX PART OF THE ISSUE
WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS. YOU
NEED TO SHOW COME TO QUESTIONS
BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS HEARING TO
NONE SOONER OR LATER WE TALKED
CLOSE. IT TO DEBATE AND THAT
THEIR PROPER TIME I WOULD
REQUEST AN IPHONE. THANK YOU.
NOW WE'RE THANKS SB FIVE OR SIX
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- AND I WANT
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS
MEASURE AND I WILL BE ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. THIS
BILL DIRECTS THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION TO

MEASURE THE VALUE MEANT A VALUE
WAIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE
SAFETY- ENHANCEMENTS IN
INFLUENCING PEDESTRIANS CYCLISTS
AND DRIVERS TO STOP AT RAILROAD
CROSSINGS. TO AVOID INCIDENTS
RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH.
CALIFORNIA HAS OVER TEN THOUSAND
AT GRADE RAILWAY CROSSINGS WERE

RAILROAD TRACKS. BETWEEN TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT AND TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN ALMOST FOURTEEN
HUNDRED HIGHWAY RAIL ACCIDENTS
RESULTED IN OVER THREE HUNDRED
DEATHS AND OVER SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FIFTY INJURIES IN OUR STATE
ALONE. THE FEDERAL RAILROAD
ADMINISTRATION INDICATES THAT
HIGHWAY USER AND ATTENTIVENESS
AND HIGHWAY USER MISS JUDGMENT
ARE SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTING
FACTORS TO THESE INCIDENTS. THE
ADDITION OF THE SAFETY
ENHANCEMENTS- IN OTHER PLACES
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES
THAT STOPPED WITHIN THE DYNAMIC
ENVELOPE- THE PILOT PROJECT WILL
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL DATA TO HELP
THE STATE UNDERSTAND THE
EFFECTIVENESS OF COLORED

HEATWAVES NO THE STRATEGIES
OUTLINED TO PUT CALIFORNIA IN
THE PAST TO PROTECT OUR
RESIDENTS THIS BILL CODIFIES THE

REQUIRES THE NATURAL RESOURCES
AGENCY IN THE OFFICE OF PLANNING
AND RESEARCH TO UPDATE THE PLAN

IDENTIFIED IN THE HUGE EXTREME
HEAT ACTION PLAN WOULD ALSO BE
REQUIRED TO COLLABORATE ON ITS
IMPLEMENTATION. AND MAKE THE
STATUS OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ONLINE.
IT ALSO SEEKS TO PROVIDE
GUIDANCE ON THE STATE FUNDED

LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AND
THANKING THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
THEIR HARD WORK ON THIS BILL.
AND THANK YOU TO THE MEMBERS WHO
OFFERED THEIR FRIENDLY AB ADVICE
AS WELL. SB SEVEN FOUR WILL
REVERSE THE CPUC DECISION THAT
IS PROVING CONTRARY TO THE
LEGISLATORS GOAL OF CONNECTING
RULE CALIFORNIANS TO HIGH SPEED
BROADBAND BY RESTORING THE PRIOR
RATE MAKING METHODOLOGY TO
ALLOCATE STATE SUPPORT TO RURAL
TELEPHONE COMPANIES. IN ITS
RECENT RATE CASE DECISIONS THE
CPUC CUT A TOTAL OF THREE
MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY OF HIGH
COST FUND SUPPORT FOR THREE
SMALL TELEPHONE COMPANIES. WHILE
THE DOLLAR FIGURE MAY SEEM SMALL
I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT HAS AN
OUTSIZED IMPACT IN THE REMOTE
RURAL COMMUNITIES SERVED BY
THESE COMPANIES. I CAN'T
EMPHASIZE ENOUGH THAT THE LACK
OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN RURAL
CALIFORNIA. WE'RE TWO MILES OF
NETWORK IN DOWNTOWN LA CONSERVE
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS
TWO MILES OF NETWORK IN MY
DISTRICT SERVES ONLY A FEW
CUSTOMERS. EVERY DOLLAR OF THE
HIGH COST MONDAY CONTINUES TO BE
VITAL FOR ENSURING THAT THE
SMALL RURAL TELEPHONE COMPANIES
CAN CONTINUE TO UPGRADE THEIR
NETWORKS TO SUPPORT CUSTOMER
ACCESS TO CRITICAL EMERGENCY
SERVICES. AND HIGH SPEED
BROADBAND. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
RESPOND TO THE LAST MINUTE
OPPOSITION THAT MY BILL WOULD BE
WOULD RESULT IN EXCESSIVE A
FUNDS SUPPORT AT THE EXPENSE OF
CONSUMERS. THAT SIMPLY IS NOT
TRUE. THE C. P. UC'S POLICIES
SAVE CONSUMERS TWO CENTS ON A
TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR PHONE BILL.
SO ACTUALLY TWO CENTS SAVINGS IS
NOT WORTH UNDERMINING THE
STATE'S UNIVERSAL SERVICE GOALS
FOR RULE CALIFORNIANS. SB SEVEN
FIVE FIFTY FOUR MAKES EXPLICIT
WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IMPLIED.
THE CPUC CAN ONLY USE REGULATED
REVENUES TO MEET A COMPANY'S
REVENUE REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE
CHOSEN TO AUTHORED THIS BILL TO

NETWORKS COMPANIES LIKE MINE
PROVIDE JOBS MY COMPANY TAKES

PROVIDE JOBS AN OPPORTUNITY SO
THAT THEY HAVE IT BECOME

FUNDING THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE
THIS BUILD OUT WITHOUT. SB SEVEN

THE IMPORTANCE OF SUPPORTING
INDUSTRIES THAT ARE ALREADY
WILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICES IN
RURAL AREAS WHERE OTHERS ARE
NOT. SB SEVEN EIGHTY FOUR IS
ABOUT CONNECTIVITY BUT IT'S ALSO
ABOUT ACCESS TO CARE BEFORE WE
BEGIN TO PRESERVE AND EXPAND
ACCESS TO CARE THROUGH VIRTUAL
MODALITIES WE MUST ENSURE BASIC
CONNECTIVITY IS PERVERT
PRESERVED. AND EXPANDED SB

AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS AB

CALIFORNIA'S INDEPENDENT
TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES.
REQUESTING YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL AND THANK YOU TO THE
AUTHOR. THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
I'M ON THE FENCE AND
REPRESENTING U. S. TELECOM THE
BROADBAND ASSOCIATION ALSO IN
SUPPORT OF SB SEVEN FIFTY FOUR.
THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON CAN

OPPOSITION IS THERE ANY
WITNESSES SO WE SEE MISTER
HERNANDEZ. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN OUR SIGNALS HERNANDEZ A
BEHALF OF THE UTILITY REFORM
NETWORK RETURN. IN RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION- I THINK THE AUTHOR
AND DO UNDERSTAND THE BIG
PICTURE AND YOU KNOW I THINK WE
HAVE SIMILAR I'M GOALS AS FAR AS
GETTING ACCESS TO BROADBAND. OUR
CONCERN WITH THIS BILLS REALLY
TWO OR THREEFOLD ONE IS THIS IS
AN ISSUE THAT WAS DEBATED THE
CPUC PRETTY VIGOROUSLY AND TURN
WAS INVOLVED- AND SUPPORTS THE
DECISION IS MADE BY THE
COMMISSION. OTHERS ARE IT WAS
ALSO APPEALED TO THE COURT OF
APPEALS AND RECENT DECISION
SUPPORT THAT THE CONCLUSION OF
THE C. P. C. AND I BELIEVE IT IS
NOW BEEN APPEALED TO THE
CALIFORNIA FROM CORK. WITH
ENGLISH ALLOW THAT TO PLAY OUT
I'M BEFORE BILL LIKE THEY SHOULD
GO FORWARD- WE ALSO WANNA HOW
THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S REALLY AT
STAKE IS WHETHER OR NOT THE
COMMISSION CAN LOOK AT THE
REVENUE OF THE PROFITS. OF A-
BROADBAND AFFILIATE. OF THESE
TELEPHONE SMALL TELEPHONE
COMPANIES WHEN DETERMINING
WHETHER OR NOT TO ALLOW ACCESS
TO THESE FUNDS AND WHETHER NOT
TO ALLOW SURCHARGE ON CUSTOMERS.
OFTEN TIMES YOU HEARD A LOT
ABOUT BROADBAND. BUT WHAT'S
BEING ASKED IN THIS BILL IS
THAT. THE CPC NOT LOOK AT THE
REVENUE OF THE PROFITS OF THE
BROADBAND AFFILIATE WHEN
CONSIDERING WHETHER TO TAP THE
SURCHARGES ON CUSTOMERS. AND
THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE CONCERNS WE
THINK THAT. BOB WE SHOULD ONLY
TAP INTO THOSE FUNDS AFTER THE
COMMISSION TO LOOK AT THE
TOTALITY. OF THE FINANCIAL
REVENUES OF THESE BROADBAND
AFFILIATES IN PARTICULAR
OFTENTIMES THESE COMPANIES WHAT
WE'VE HEARD. SOMETIMES A BILLS
ARE SHARED SOMETIMES YOU CAN
ONLY GET. THE BROADBAND SERVICE
IF YOU ALSO GET THE TELEPHONE
SERVICE OFTENTIMES IT'S THE SAME
BORDER SAME STAFF SO THERE'S A
LOT OF- INTERACTION BETWEEN
THESE THAT MAYBE SEPARATE
COMPANIES ON PAPER. BUT BECAUSE
THEY ARE BROADBAND AFFILIATES WE
THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THE
COMMISSION TO LOOK AT THE
OVERALL REVENUE. AND DETERMINE
WHETHER OR NOT TO IMPOSE A
SURCHARGE- FOR THE- NO MATTER
HOW SMALL OR HOW LARGE ON THE
CUSTOMERS AND SO WE SUPPORT THE
CPC DECISION RIGHT NOW- WE ALSO
. KNOW THAT THERE IS BROADBAND
MONEY THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE
OTHERWISE WE KNOW THE- HAS
PASSED- A TON OF MONEY HOW THERE
AND THAT THERE ARE A LOT WAYS TO
GO MONEY FOR BROADBAND.
DEVELOPMENT SO WE THINK THAT
THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THOSE AS
OPPOSED IMPOSING THE SURCHARGE.
AND KEEP IN MIND EVEN IF THIS
BILL IS DEFEATED WE STICK WITH
WHAT THE COMMISSION IS DOING NOW
THEY COULD STILL ACCESS THESE
FUNDS IT'S JUST. THERE'S AN
ADDITIONAL FACTOR TO CONSIDER
THAT AS A PROFIT FROM THE
AFFILIATE THANK YOU FOR THOSE
REASONS ARE POST. THANK YOU.
SEVEN FIVE FOUR. HERE IN CHINO
IN THE ROOM NOW MODERATOR WILL
GO TO THE PHONE LINE SHIFTERS
ANY WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION- SB SEVEN FIVE FOUR.

IN AND SUPPORT OPPOSITION.
THAT'S ONE ZERO AT THIS TIME. IF
.
I WOULD LIKE TO LINE TWENTY FIVE
PLEASE GO AHEAD. YES MY NAME IS
A LITTLE A LITTLE- IN GENERAL
COUNSEL FOR MOBILE UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT. ACCESS TO
RELIABLE FAST INTERNET ACCESS IS
CRITICAL FOR US OF INDICATORS.
TO FULFILL OUR EDUCATIONAL
MANDATE BUT IT IS. CRITICAL AND
IMPORTANT FOR OUR STUDENTS. FOR
THEIR WELL BEING AND THEIR
EDUCATIONAL GROWTH. THE FEDERAL
COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE TELLS
US THAT. 4% LOWER RURAL.
STUDENTS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO
FAST INTERNET WHAT IS ONLY 3%
URBAN'S URBAN STUDENTS TO NOT
THE DISPARITY IS JUST WEARING.
OUT WE SUPPORT THIS BILL THAT WE
SUPPORT ANY BILL THAT REALLY
WOULD INCREASE THE TAXES FOR OUR
STUDENTS TO IN ACCESS TO
INTERNET IN OUR RURAL AREAS WE
THINK THAT A CPU SOCIAL THAT
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT. REGIS WE
JUST NEED YOUR NAME AND
ORGANIZATION THANK YOU. YES SIR
OTHER FOR ABOUT BILLION IF
SCHOOL DIST THANK YOU NEXT CALL
. THERE'S ANOTHER SECURE.
MORE WE ARE KIDS WHO HAVE NO
MORE SO WE'RE GONNA BRING IT
BACK TO COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS WE HAVE A MOTION BY
CITY VICE YOU'RE DALLY ANY
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS SENATE AROUSAL
THANK YOU I DO WANNA THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR RAISING THE ISSUE. OF
GETTING OUR RURAL AREAS EVERY
AREA ESPECIALLY AREAS OF A WITH
POOR PEOPLE- BUT CAN YOU RESPOND
TO THE ISSUE OF- THAT SOME OF
THESE COMPANIES ARE ACTUALLY.
YOU KNOW MORE JOINED THEN THEY
ARE SEPARATE THAT THE REMARKS
THE- STATEMENT WAS MADE ABOUT
BEING SEPARATE COMPANIES ON
PAPER- YOU KNOW SHARING BOARDS-
OPERATIONAL STAFF AND THE OTHER
SOURCES OF FUNDS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE I THINK IT WAS LAST
YEAR RIGHT WE DID. SIX BILLION
DOLLARS- SET ASIDE SIX BILLION
DOLLARS FOR OVER SEVERAL YEARS
OF BROADBAND UP FOR BROADBAND
SUPPORT ESPECIALLY FOR POOR
AREAS- SO IF YOU CAN JUST
RESPOND TO THOSE TWO ISSUES
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO I WANT
TO TALK ABOUT- THE LAW- SO
SIMPLY THE LAW RESTORES- THIS
BILL WOULD BE STORE AT THE PRIOR
RATE MAKING METHODOLOGY THAT WAS
USED UNTIL. TWENTY TWENTY ONE
WHEN THE CPUC. REVERSE THAT AB
THREE THAT IT WAS REVERSED WAS
BECAUSE OF THE INTERPRETATION OF
THE LEGISLATIVE INTENT SO WE ARE
MAKING EXPLICIT WHAT WAS ALREADY
IMPLIED SO WE'RE ESSENTIALLY
FIXING SOMETHING. THAT ALLOWED A
LOOPHOLE. SO THE GOAL IS TO
RESTORE THE SUPPORT TO SMALL
LOCAL TELEPHONE COMPANIES. THEY
MAY OR MAY NOT BE AFFILIATED
WITH THIRD PARTIES BUT THEY
FUNCTION INDEPENDENTLY OF THOSE
THIRD PARTIES SO ONE OF THE AS A
CONSUMER OF VOLCANO. A TELEPHONE
COMPANY IT IS A MORE DIFFICULT
TO INSTALL EQUIPMENT AND
MAINTENANCE AND- UPGRADE
SERVICES AS REQUIRED BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN RURAL
COMMUNITIES AND HI A WILDFIRE
AREAS IN- IN MOUNTAINOUS
REGIONS. AND THE INTENT OF THE
LEGISLATURE WAS TO ENSURE THAT
THERE WAS COST EQUITY BETWEEN-
AREAS LARGE URBAN DEBTS THEIR
AREAS LIKE LOS ANGELES AS WELL
AS SOME OF THE RURAL COMMUNITIES
THAT WE WOULD HAVE EQUITY FOR
THIS YOU TO UTILITY. SO WHAT
THIS BILL SIMPLY DOES IS IT
ALLOWS US TO BE EXPLICIT ABOUT
THE LEGISLATURE'S CONTENT AND
ALLOW FOR THAT MONEY THAT'S
ALREADY ARE SET ASIDE FOR THE
SERVICE TO BE RELEASED TO THOSE
SMALL. INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE
COMPANIES. ARE THERE ANY OF
THESE ISSUES THAT YOU. BELIEVE
THAT YOU COULD- SORT OUT IN MAY
BE RESOLVED AS FAR AS
DIFFERENCES OR DO THINK YOU
PRETTY MUCH. YEAH I DO NOT
ISSUES THAT YOU CAN RESOLVE WITH
THE- YEAH I THINK ONE THING THAT
I WOULD NOTE IS YOU KNOW I A WAS
MADE AWARE OF THE OPPOSITION
KIND OF LAST MINUTE- AND IN
REVIEWING THE LETTER IT WAS
REALLY WRITTEN IN HASTE I'M TO
THE POINT WHERE EVEN. CHAIR
BRADFORD WAS GETTING CREDIT FOR
ALL THREE MY BILL- SO I LOOKED
AT THE OPPOSITION AND
CONSIDERED. WHAT WAS NOTED IN
THERE AND FELT VERY CONFIDENT
AFTER MEDIAN WITH A TWELVE OF
THE TELEPHONE COMPANIES AB AT
LENGTH WITH THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES AND WITH THEIR
ATTORNEY AND WITH THEIR
CONSUMERS TO ENSURE THAT I WAS
DOING MY DUE DILIGENCE TO AUTHOR
A SOLID BILL. OKAY YOU'RE FINE
WITH THAT TUROW'S SENATORS ARE

SIMULTANEOUS USE OF LAND FOR
BOTH SOLAR POWER GENERATION AND
AGRICULTURAL USES IN THIS
CONTEXT REFERS TO THE PRACTICE
OF USING LAND FOR BOTH
AGRICULTURE AND SOLAR PANELS BY
SETTING THE PANEL SIX OR MORE
FEET ABOVE THE CROPS BELOW.
PARTIALLY SHADING THEM THROUGH
THE DAY THIS PRACTICE HAS BEEN
PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN MANY OTHER
PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE CROPS
BELOW KEEP TEMPERATURES DOWN FOR
SOLAR PANELS WHICH MAXIMIZES THE
EFFICACY OF THE PANELS IT IS NOT
JUST BENEFICIAL FOR THE PANELS
AND PRODUCTION OF ENERGY BUT FOR
AGRICULTURAL CROPS AS WELL AND
ALSO IMPROVES WORKING CONDITIONS
FOR FARMWORKERS. SOLAR ENERGY
CAN HELP PROVIDE FARMERS WITH AN
ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF INCOME AND
REDUCE THEIR ENERGY COSTS AND
THE SHAPE OF THE SON OF SOLAR
PANELS AGAIN CAN PROTECT THE
WORKERS. AGGROTECH PRACTICES
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A
VITAL TOOL IN CALIFORNIA AS WE
SEEK TO CONTINUE TO DIVERSIFY
OUR CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTION
MEANS. CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO
BE AN AGRICULTURAL WORLD LEADER.
IN CLEAN ENERGY AND SOME OF THE
MOST AGGRESSIVE CLIMATE

THREE RESEARCH CARE. AT PLEASED
TO. FIRST PRESENT SB FORTY
EIGHT. THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
ARE SPONSOR FOR MISS TWENTY
MILLION METRIC TONS OF
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
ANNUALLY SUCH ABOUT 5% OF OUR
STATE'S TOTAL EMISSIONS. THIS
THIS IS A CRITICAL AREA FOR US
TO ADDRESS THIS BILL'S BEEN
PROVEN EFFICIENCY OF OUR LARGEST
BUILDINGS WHICH CAN HELP BY
REDUCE UTILITY BILLS REDUCING
ENERGY USE AND REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GASES ALL WHILE
IMPROVING THE COMFORT THESE
BUILDINGS. SO STRONG BUILDING
CODES OF ALREADY APPROVED
EFFICIENCY OF NEW BUILDINGS BUT
THE STATE ALSO NEEDS A POLICY
FOR IMPROVING ITS OLDER
BUILDINGS. THIS BILL DIRECTS
ENERGY COMMISSION DEVELOP A
STRATEGY FOR LEVERAGING
BENCHMARKING DATA TO HELP
ACHIEVE THE STATE'S TARGET
PROFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS AND
EMISSION REDUCTIONS. AND WE CAN
FOLLOW THE STEP OF OTHER CITIES
AND STATES INCLUDING WASHING
STATE. MARYLAND COLORADO AS WELL
AS NEW YORK CITY WASHINGTON DC
IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA- HERE
IN CALIFORNIA WHO ENACTED BILL
INFORMANTS STANDARDS. LEVERAGING
BENCHMARKING DATA TO IMPROVE
EFFICIENCY IN OLDER BUILDINGS.
WITH THE HEAD START BECAUSE THE
STATE PARTY HAS A BENCHMARKING
PROGRAM FOR ENERGY USAGE IN
LARGE COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS. BY THE BEST WORKING
PROGRAMS HAS ALWAYS INCLUDED
VERY LARGE BUILDINGS THOSE OVER
FIFTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET AND
ALSO AT LEAST SEVENTEEN- WELL IN
SOME OF OUR THIS HAVE ALSO.
INCLUDED RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
WITH OVER SEVENTEEN UNITS I'M
ACCEPTED THE COMMITTEE'S MEMBERS
TO CLARIFY THIS BILL CONTINUED
TO ONLY APPLY TO BUILDINGS AT
THAT LARGE FOR COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS. ARE THOSE BUILDINGS
ABOUT SIX POINT 3% OF ALL
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS BUT 53% OF
TOTAL SPACE. AND A SIMILAR SHARE
OF ENERGY USAGE AND SHE IS SHE
EMISSIONS. ORDERS OF LARGE
BUILDINGS ARE ALSO USUALLY
PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE
COMPANIES. AND THERE ARE MORE
ABLE TO MAKE THEIR OWN PLANS A
ON HAVE THE CAPITAL FOR THE
NEEDED IMPROVEMENT. I WILL KNOW
THIS IS ALSO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
FOR JOB CREATION FOR GRADING
GOOD UNION JOBS NEW YORK CITY
ESTIMATES THAT. THEY'RE BUILDING
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS WILL
CREATE TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS OF
ECONOMIC IMPACT. WE DON'T HAVE
YET ESTIMATE YET FOR STATE BUT
YOU CAN IMAGINE OF THE LARGER
THAN THAT. SHOULD GET WILL
ACCEPT IT COMMITTEES MEMBER
AROUND FIFTY THOUSAND SQUARE
FEET. ONE OF THE TRICKIEST
PROBLEMS AROUND BUILDING
PERFORMANCE FOR RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS. IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
TENANTS TO SEE GAINS IN COMFORT
AND UTILITY BILL SAVINGS WITHOUT
CAR G. CAUSING LARGE. THE
INCREASES RENT OR DISPLACEMENT.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF HELPFUL INPUT
FROM HOUSING ADVOCATES ON THESE
ISSUES WHICH WOULD INCORPORATE
INTO THIS BILL. BOTH IN TERMS OF
CREATING INCLUSIVE STAKEHOLDER
PROCESS TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS
THE STRATEGY AND INCLUDING SOME
PROVISIONS. SPECIFICALLY AIMED
AT ENSURING THAT THE STATE IS
WILL NOT CAUSE LOCUM TENENS TO
FACE INCREASED OVERALL COSTS.
FOR NEW REASONS FOR EVICTION.
HOWEVER I DO UNDERSTAND THE
SENSITIVITY OF MANY FOLKS ON
THIS ISSUE SOME ACCEPTED THE
COMMITTEE'S AMENDMENTS. THAT
WILL ALLOW THE C. C. TO DEVELOP
A STRATEGY. FOR COMMERCIAL
RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERFORMANCE
SANDERS BUT ONLY MOVE FORWARD
WITH THE STRETCH ON THE
COMMERCIAL SIDE INITIALLY.
EVERYBODY THE STRATEGY ON THE
RESIDENTIAL SIDE WILL REQUIRE
FUTURE BILL US ALLEGE THAT YOU
OF THE CHANCE TO SEE THE
PROPOSED STRATEGY. AND TO VOTE
ON THAT. I'M TOO AGAIN SO
ACCEPTING RECOMMENDATIONS THERE
. BUT DROUGHT IS A LONG TERM
CHALLENGE FOR OUR STATE AND THE
SAME KIND OF BENCHMARKING AND
EFFICIENCY STANDARDS. CAN ALSO
BE USED TO HELP US SAVE LOTS OF
WATER. AND TO MAKE CALIFORNIA
MORE RESILIENT TO FUTURE
DROUGHTS. BY THE WATER UTILITIES
HAVE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS
BILL- I BELIEVE THERE'S
MISUNDERSTANDS IT'S REALLY NOT
AS BIG AN ISSUE AS THEY HAVE
CLAIMED. THEY GIVE MORE TIME I
THINK WE COULD HAVE HOPEFULLY
WORK THROUGH THEM. HOWEVER I
HAVE DECIDED TO ACCEPT THE
CHEERS DESIRE TO KEEP THE BILL
SIMPLER AND FOCUS ONLY ON
ENERGY. AND SO WHAT THE
COMMITTEES HELP WE WILL MAN THE
BILL TO REMOVE WATER FROM THE
BILL A GOING FORWARD AGAIN
FOCUSING. THE BILL ON ENERGY AS-
MOST AS THE BILLING FOR
STANDARDS IN OTHER STATES HAVE
BEEN. TO A CONCLUSION- I THINK
THAT- I BELIEVE CERTAINLY THAT A
STRATEGY THAT ENCOURAGES
INVESTMENT OLDER BUILDINGS. CAN
CREATE JOB OPPORTUNITIES.
STRENGTHEN CLIMATE RESILIENCE I
WAS CERTAIN HEALTHIER MORE
DURABLE LESS EXPENSIVE SPACES TO
LIVE. AND BEGIN TO MAKE A
SERIOUS DENT IN THE TWENTY
MILLION METRIC TONS. OF
EMISSIONS COMING FROM LARGE
BUILDINGS SO THIS WILL BE A
PORTENT FIRST STEP. BY STARTING
INCLUSIVE PROCESS DEVELOP A
STRATEGY FOR CLEANER MORE
EFFICIENT BUILDINGS ARE CRISPLY.

SAYING THAT. AS SOMEBODY WHO IS
IN BUSINESS AND HAS BEEN
REGULATED BY THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD AND THE
LEGISLATURE TO IMPLEMENT
SOMETHING. YEARS OUT. MAKES A
DIFFERENCE AND SO YOU'VE YOU'VE
TAKEN TO MAKE- THE- AMENDMENTS
TO. THIS BILL TO GO TO SEE THAT
IS GOING TO POWER TO THE CDC
EVENTUALLY TO REGULATE. ON AN
EXISTING. STRUCTURE THAT. FIFTY
THOUSAND. P. OR LARGER. AND THEN
I'M I'M I'M I'M TRYING TO GET I
DON'T I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT
THE BILL DOES BECAUSE I WE I
JUST I'M TRYING TO. LEARN ON THE
FLY RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T
SEEN THE AMENDMENTS- THAT IS
THAT TRUE. 500-005-0000 SQUARE
FOOT AND LARGER YEAH IN FIFTEEN
YEARS THOSE PEOPLE CAN HAVE TO
RETROFIT. AND THE CECE'S GONNA
HAVE THE POWER TO DO THAT. YES
NO WORD DELEGATING OUR POWER AS
A LEGISLATURE. DESIGNED CLICK ON
. OKAY. I DON'T THINK. THERE'S
WHERE YOU'RE- THE C. A
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS BUT LED BY
THE C. OKAY AND THEN. IT'S HOW
MANY UNITS A RESIDENTIAL UNITS
IS IT SIXTEEN OR SEVENTEEN OR
WHAT WHAT IS THE NUMBER. BECAUSE
THAT THE REALTORS JUST SAID
SIXTEEN I THINK I READ SEVENTEEN
SO WE I WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT
ACTUALLY THE BILL DOES. PUT THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE TAKEN A FEW
MINUTES AGO SURE THAT THE
MEMBERS ARE. ARE THREEFOLD TO
ONE JUST CLARIFIES OVER FIFTY
THOUSAND SQUARE FEET NUMBER ONE.
NUMBER TWO REASONS FIFTY
THOUSAND SQUARE FEET COMMERCIAL
OR RESIDENTIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
WAS DEFINED AS FIFTY THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET FOUR AND SEVEN AT
LEAST SEVENTEEN UNITS- BUT WITH
THE AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS WERE
DOING IS. BASICALLY FOR WITH
COMMERCIAL RESIDENTIAL IS GOING
TO GO TO BASIS STUDY PROCESS.
AND THEY'LL COME UP WITH A PLAN
AND THEN COME BACK TO US AND THE
LEGISLATURE WOULD HAVE TO
APPROVE THAT PLAN GOING FORWARD.
SO IN THE PAST AND IN THE
THOUGHT PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA
HAS. IF YOU BUILT A HOME WHERE
YOU BILL TO. BUILDING THAT YOU
WERE GOING TO OCCUPY. THAT
WHATEVER THE BUILDING STANDARDS
OF THE DAY. YOU MET THOSE
OBLIGATIONS AND YOU WERE ABLE
TO. BUILD THEM AND THEY YOU'VE
GOT CERTIFIED IN AND THEN. IF
YOU REMODEL. YOU BRING IT UP TO
THE STANDARD OF THAT OF WHATEVER
THE LAWS HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE
DAY YOU BUILT THIS BILL. WILL IS
GOING TO GO IN AND IN FIFTEEN
YEARS IS GOING TO FORCE PEOPLE
THAT HAVE. MET THE LAW THE TIME
THEY BUILT THEIR- THEIR FIFTY
THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BUILDING OR
BIGGER OR IF THEY HAVE. A
COMBINED OVER FIFTY THOUSAND
SQUARE FEET STUDY IS GOING TO
THE C. C. FOR THEIR FOR THEIR
PRESIDENTIAL SO. HOW IS THIS NOT
A TAKINGS. YOUR FORCING SOMEBODY
. TO DO SOMETHING WHEN THEY MET
THE LAW. AT THE TIME WHEN THEY
BUILT THE BUILDING. THAT HOUSE
IS NOT GOING TO BE A BURDEN. ON
THE MILLIONS OF SQUARE FEET THAT
IS IN CALIFORNIA UNDER. UNDER
FIFTY THOUSAND SQUARE FEET
SOUNDS LIKE A BIG NUMBER IF YOU
LIVE IN A EIGHT HUNDRED SQUARE
FOOT HOME. BUT IT'S NOT WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
IT'S- I MEAN GO ROUND HERE TO
AMAZON AND THERE'S PROBABLY A
MILLION SQUARE FEET UNDER ONE
ROOF. THE REASON PEOPLE. LIKE
THIS INGRATITUDE THIS PROCESSES
THAT. STARTS OUT WITH
BENCHMARKING RIGHT LET'S
BENCHMARK. AND GATHER ALL THAT
DATA SO WE KNOW A HUNDRED
THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT BUILDING IN
THIS AREA WHAT. BECAUSE THE AND
WE HAVE ALL THAT UTILITIES HAVE
ALL THAT INFORMATION WE HEARD WE
CAN EVEN GET HERE FOR MARK- ONE
OF OUR- WITNESSES SO CALLOUS
AND- SO WE CAN GATHER THIS DATA.
AND SO WE KNOW WHAT THE BUILDING
SHOULD BE ON AVERAGE RIGHT WE
HAVE THE RANGE AND THEN WE GIVE
WE SET CLEAR STANDARDS THE
FUTURE GIVE PEOPLE PLENTY OF
TIME TO GET THERE. AND THAT'S
WHY PEOPLE HAVE THIS BY THE THIS
PAST A NUMBER OF JURISDICTIONS
BUT PEOPLE SUPPORT OF THAT
PROCESS THEY SAY HEY WE KNOW WE
ARE WORKING LARGE BUILDINGS.
THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO GO ABOUT
IT ARE BILLS KIND OF MIDDLE
GROUND BETWEEN REQUIRING THE CC
TO PRESENT. THE STRATEGY WITH NO
AUTHORIZATION DO ANYTHING. AND
GIVING THEM COMPLETE OF THIRTY
SO THIS IS. REALLY I THINK A
MIDDLE GROUND IF YOU LOOK AT IT-
BUT I THINK FOR BUILDING OWNERS
IT SETS IT SETS A TIME FRAME
MAKES CLEAR WITH STANDARD AS-
SUCH A TIME FRAME IN THE FUTURE.
AND ALSO THESE BILLS ARE GONNA
BE CHEAPER TO OPERATE- AREA AND-
IN. THE CREATURES WE MENTIONED-
AND WILL YOU KNOW SUPPORTER
OVERALL GOALS. WELL I WOULD
JUST. I'M NOT GONNA SUPPORT YOUR
BILL. ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT I
THINK IT'S- UNFORTUNATE THAT WE-
AS LEGISLATORS REGULATE IN A
FASHION WHERE. THE MEAT IS
PRETTY THIS WEEK IN AND THIS
ACTUALLY HAPPENED- TO ME. SO WE
DID AB THIRTY TWO WHICH WAS.
PROBABLY BILL. BY TWENTY TWENTY
WE'RE GONNA RATCHET WE'RE GONNA
RETROFIT ALL THESE. TRUCKS AND-
IT I'M A PRETTY WAY THAT THE
TRUCK ACTUALLY BE RETROFITTED TO
THE STANDARDS SO AT THIS
BUILDING ISN'T RETRO FITTED TO
THE STANDARD TO BE LIKE ME
TELLING YOU. HEY WE'RE GOING TO
UPGRADE YOUR HOME THAT YOU BUILT
PAID FOR AND WAS MET THE LAW THE
DAY. AND WHEN YOU GO AND SAY HEY
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU YOU HAVE TO.
DO ALL THESE THINGS TOO WELL IN
THE PROCESS DOESN'T WORK TO DO
YOU HAVE TO TEAR HIM DOWN TO
REBUILD A NEW ONE. THAT'S
BASICALLY WHAT THEY DID IN THE
TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY WITH
KERR IS THAT THE TRUCK WOULD
NEVER MADE IT SO YEP WE HAD TO
REPLACE IT. WHICH WAS A COST TO
ME EVEN THOUGH I BOUGHT IT WAS
LEGAL TODAY I BOUGHT. THIS BILL
AS A PROP THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
THE SAME EXACT THING TO SOMEBODY
OWNS A BUILDING OVER FIFTY
THOUSAND SQUARE FEET. IF YOU
CAN'T RETROFIT IT BECAUSE IT
DOESN'T IT WASN'T BUILT ON THE
WAY. TO GET TO THE RETROFIT YOU
GOT TO TEAR THE BUILDING DOWN.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WITH
CARBON OR TRANSPORTATION AND
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IN ITS
ACOSTA HUGE COST. TO BUSINESSES
AND YOU'RE GIVING THE POWER TO
THE CC FOR SO THOSE REASONS
MISTER CHAIRMAN I WILL NOT BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY. AND
I'LL BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THE
MINUTES I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S
GOING AFTER THIS WERE. DOUBLE
REFERRED CLINTON BERMAN RECALLED
HOW GOOD I GET TO SEE IT AGAIN.
SO AWESOME. RIGHT THANK YOU
CENTER DOT- YES. I HAVE SOME OF
THE SIMILAR CONCERNS- JUST. JUST
OF THE FIRST QUESTION. HERE
FIFTEEN YEARS IN THIS THAT
BRINGS OUT TO THE YEAR TWO
THOUSAND THIRTY EIGHT. WE'RE
WE'RE LOOKING AT A LOT OF. THE
STATE GOALS EVERYTHING OUT TO
TWENTY FORTY FIVE THAT GIVES. IT
WHEN YOU'VE GOT THESE BIGGER
BUILDINGS. I NEED TO HAVE
FINANCING YOU NEED. I JUST THINK
THERE'S A LOT THERE OR NOT. I'M
NOT I'M GOING TO DO IT
DIFFERENTLY I WOULD TO SUPPORT
YOUR BILL TODAY. BUT I'D LIKE TO
SEE IT WORK ON SOME OF THESE
THINGS- HELLO. THE STAFF
ANALYSIS ARE DRESSING. PROCEED
WITH CAUTION INTEGRATING
DECARBONIZATION STRATEGIES. IS
GENERALLY MORE COST EFFECTIVE IN
NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION WE
KNOW THAT. COMPARED TO EXISTING.
THE CHALLENGES WITH. TRANSITION
EXISTING BUILDINGS IS
COMPLICATED BY OCCUPANCY LACK OF
INERTIA LIMITED CONSUMER NOTE
THAT KNOWLEDGE BUT MOST
IMPORTANTLY COSTS. AND I GUESS
WE'RE GOING TO GET MY CONCERN IS
THAT WE GET OUT FIFTEEN YEARS
FROM NOW THAT'S NOT VERY. THAT'S
NOT VERY LONG AT ALL I'D LIKE TO
SEE YOU LOOKING AT THAT I DON'T
KNOW IF. THERE'S ANY THE
STAKEHOLDERS ON EITHER SIDE
THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE
NUMBERS- I DON'T KNOW WHO. THE
FRIEDMAN BILL FROM. TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN WAS INSTRUCTIVE IT ALL
IN. PUTTING THIS YOU KNOW
PUTTING THIS BILL TOGETHER WHICH
- REALLY TO- YOU'LL GET
INFORMATION. TO MAKE SOMETHING
LIKE THIS A LITTLE BIT. LESS
COMPLEX I WILL TELL YOU I AM
APPRECIATIVE. OF THE AMENDMENTS.
THAT YOU DID TAKE YOUR TO GET
HERE AND I THINK THAT WAS AN
IMPORTANT STEP TO SUPPORTING
THIS BILL TODAY. ALSO TWO THINGS
ONE IS- THAT IT IS A STAKEHOLDER
PROCESS MENTIONS THIS IS THE
KIND OF GIVE INTEREST GROUPS A
CHANCE TO WEIGH AND SUCH RIGHTS
IT'S THE MIDDLE GROUND. TO
CENTER TO ALWAYS QUESTION I
THINK THAT'S WHAT MY WITNESSES-
FOR THE JOB OR INJURY TO THE
COMMENT ON EITHER THE- BECAUSE
THERE'S- FIFTEEN YEARS OF ACTUAL
LONGER SO MANY NEW TECHNOLOGIES
ARE COMING TO MAKE BUILDINGS
MORE EFFICIENT. I MEAN YOU CAN
COMMENT ON THAT OR ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS THERE'S A- JUDGMENT
UP. WITH UP COUNCIL. YES THERE
ARE ALWAYS IMPROVEMENTS- WE AS
WE GO THROUGH DIFFERENT TYPES OF
TECHNOLOGIES OVER TIME- I WOULD
SAY YOU KNOW. I THINK LEGITIMATE
CONCERNS THAT I THINK COULD BE
ADDRESSED- BY THINKING ABOUT HOW
. THINGS ARE DONE IN THE- CO
DEVELOPMENT. WHERE THERE IS A-
METHODOLOGY THAT IDENTIFIES YOU
KNOW WHAT THESE BENEFITS ARE AND
WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE STILL
AT THAT THOSE ARE OPPORTUNITIES
TO DO THAT- AND I WOULD SUGGEST
ALSO THAT WHAT AND THIS IS WHAT
I'M LOOKING FOR. IS FOR
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT TO
IDENTIFY SOME OF THESE OTHER
THINGS OTHER THINGS LIKE HOW DO
YOU FINANCE. THESE PROJECTS YOU
KNOW WHO'S GOING TO PROVIDE THAT
IN THE EXAMPLE I WOULD GIVE YOU-%
THE PARALLEL WOULD BE. THE POWER
PURCHASE AGREEMENTS FOR SOLAR-
THAT PANEL THAT WAS BEFORE WE
HAD SOLAR LEASES BUT THAT HAD
SOMEBODY PURCHASING. YOU KNOW
THE BENEFIT OF THAT THEN YOU
COULD APPLY SOME OF THOSE SAME
IDEAS OR CONCEPTS INTO
EFFICIENCY MEASURES WHERE
SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR IT. NOW
THE CHALLENGE OF COURSE IS. WHAT
WHAT HOW LONG WHAT WHAT THE
GOING TO MEASURE THAT BUT THOSE
ARE THOSE ARE MANAGEABLE THINGS
THAT YOU CAN DO. SO MY
RECOMMENDATION HERE TO YOU
SENATOR- AGAIN IS AT EACH TO LET
THE PROCESS AT LEAST FROM FROM
OUR PERSPECTIVE- CONTINUE TO GET
ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK AND INPUT.
GREAT THANK YOU. DURING THE ONE
IN THE SURE TO STRIP JUST TO
FOLLOW UP ON THAT I GET THAT IF
THAT'S ALL THE BILL DID. I WOULD
HAVE BEEN COMMENTING AT ALL IF
THAT'S ALL THE BILL DID BUT WHAT
WE'RE- DOING HERE TODAY YOU'RE
ASKING US TO DO. IS A VOTE ON A
BILL TO TAKE STEP ONE WHICH IS A
VERY IMPORTANT STEP. AND THEN
ALSO KNOWLEDGE- THIS NOT A NOT
YET. BIGELOW GENE THAT- THEY'VE
GOT FIFTEEN YEARS TO COMPLETE
WHAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW YET. SO
THAT. I JUST THINK THERE NEEDS
TO BE SOME WORK AS THIS THING
MOVES ON. IT IN IN THAT REGARD
THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ME.
WHEN HE GETS TO THE FLOOR AND I
WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO.
DETERMINE HOW MY BUT WILL BE
THERE BUT IT'S AGAIN A LOAD ON
IT TODAY. YEAH GOOD JOINT
VENTURE DOT TO YOUR POINT- YOU
KNOW OFTENTIMES CALIFORNIA IS
LEADING AND WE'RE SORT OF
CREATING ALL THIS OURSELVES. IN
THIS CASE WE'RE ACTUALLY
FOLLOWING SO- THESE ISSUES BEING
WORKED ON RIGHT NOW IN NEW YORK
SERVED A LOT SOONER CITY WAS TWO
OR THREE YEARS AHEAD OF US. A
WASHING ST I MENTIONED A PAST
WHEN BILLY SANDERS BUILDING
ACTUALLY MADE IT APPLIES TO. A
SMALL ABILITY I THINK TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET OR
BIGGER. SO THESE ISSUES ARE
BEING WORKED ON- AND THE POINT
IS THAT THIS IS AND WE ACTUALLY
THE WAY YOU KNOW OUR STATE HAS
JOINED THE BUILDING PERFORMANCE.
THE WHITE ASH ACTUALLY CREATED
BUILDING PERFORMANCE. A
STANDARD- YOU KNOW COMMITTEE
BASICALLY IN OUR STATE IS NOW
SIGNED ON. TO THAT OUR GOVERNOR
HAS SIGNED ON SO. I THINK PEOPLE
HAVE RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE TWO
LARGE BUILDINGS SUCH A HUGE
PART. OF OUR MISSIONS. AND
ENDING PEOPLE GRAVITATE TO THIS
AS THE SOLUTION. TO DO IT RIGHT
AND WE CAN MANDATE SOMETHING
SOONER. OR YOU KNOW AND THE
PEOPLE WHO I THINK WAS IMPORTANT
BUT THAT WAS MORE OF A REPORT BY
THE C. SEAT. ON HOW TO REDUCE
BUILDINGS IT WASN'T ACTUALLY- I
THINK IT HELPS. TO SET THE STAGE
FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. SO IT.
YOU KNOW ANY ANSWERS IF. YEARS
WHEN THE STATE SET NOT TO YEARS
FROM RIGHT NOW. SO WE'RE TO
CLARIFY THAT AS WELL SO. YEAR
ONCE. YOU ARE SET TO YOU LITTLE
TIME. THAT YOU KNOW WE THIS IT
IS A BIG DEAL THAT'S WHY I'M
DOING THIS- I WILL SAY ACTUALLY
THIS IS A BIT OF A TO YOUR BILL
WAS SENT LAST YEAR ME WITH
FORMAL JUSTICE GROUPS- AND- AND-
INSERT PREPARATION FOR THIS SO.
I GET THAT THIS IS A BIG. TOPIC
THAT IS CERTAINLY PORTENT ONE
YOU KNOW IF IT'S TO GET B.
TWELVE IT'S TWENTY ONE TWENTY
MILLION METRIC TONS OF. CARBON
EMISSIONS A AND- AND SO THAT'S
WHAT WE PURSUE THIS WAY BUT-
HAPPY TO KEEP THE CONVERSATIONS
GOING. SENATOR EGGMAN. I THINK I
JUST LIKE THE BOYS SOME OF THE
SAME CONCERNS AT THE END NOW AND
ALSO COMING FROM A FARMING
FAMILY. AND HAVING. ENOUGH FROM
HEAVEN TWO TRUCKS CAN'T BE USED
CAN GET REGISTERED CAN'T DO
ANYTHING WITH THEM ANYMORE.
EXCEPT YEAH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS
JUST SIT THERE. AND HAVE TO
REPLACE THEM ON TOP OF THAT- SO
AS WE GO FORWARD. AND ALSO SEVEN
WHO LIVES IN A HUNDRED PLUS YEAR
OLD HOME PAGE SO I KNOW I JUST
KNOW THAT STANDARDS ARE ARE DEBT
MORE DIFFICULT TO REACH- SO I
JUST. WANT TO. REVIEW NUMBER
SPEC WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
HERE AND THE GOAL THAT WE'RE ALL
TRYING TO GET TO- BUT- I THINK
THERE JUST NEEDS TO BE
CONSIDERATION FOR. COST FACTORS
AND THE TECHNOLOGY IF IT EXISTED
IT DOESN'T EXIST. AND HOW IT HOW
IT INTEGRATES WITH WHAT WE
CURRENTLY HAVE SO I'M SUPPORTING
YOU TODAY BUT- YOU KNOW
INTERESTING. AREA AND KEEP ON
WORKING. THANK YOU THAT'S PART
IN RED MAYBE NEXT YEAR WE'LL
COME BACK WITH ALSO. EXAMPLES
TODAY THE HOPE IS THAT PEOPLE
ACTUALLY THEY SAVE MONEY OVER
TIME RIGHT AND WE'VE SEEN THAT
IN MANY OTHER AREAS. SO AND- YOU
KNOW THAT ACTUALLY BY DOING THIS
WORK WILL ACTUALLY SAVE MONEY.
AND WE CAN COME UP WITH
FINANCING MECHANISMS. AS A
TRADITION MENTIONED- BUT ANYWAY
TO APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT AND I.
UNDERSTAND SPEAK AREA. CENTER
ASHLEY THANK YOU. I JUST. YOU
KNOW COMING FROM A LOW.
PERSPECTIVE I JUST WANT TO SHARE
WITH YOU. A BIG BUILDING
PROJECTS LIKE THIS. COULD TAKE A
REALLY LONG TIME. JUST TO GET
THROUGH THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
AND THEN THE FUNDING I'VE NEVER
SEEN FUNDING AS SHORT OF THE
TERM IS FIFTEEN YEARS. ON A
LARGE SCALE PROJECT AT A LOCAL
LEVEL. SO I'M GONNA SUPPORT THIS
TODAY TOO BUT- I JUST FROM AN
ACADEMIC STANDPOINT. WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO DO MAKES PERFECT SENSE
TO ME. AND IS IT IS NOBLE BUT
FROM AN IMPLEMENTATION
STANDPOINT FROM A LOCAL LEVEL.
MY CONCERN IS THAT THE TIME
FRAME THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
DOESN'T LINE UP WITH HOW CITY OR
COUNTY GOVERNANCE WORKS FOR
ESTABLISHING AND WORKING WITH
BUILDINGS ON RETROFITS LIKE
THIS. NOR DOES IT LINE UP WITH
MY EXPERIENCE IN TERMS OF
FUNDING AND I'VE DONE SOME
REALLY LARGE SCALE PROJECTS IN
THIS REGION. AND SO I JUST WOULD
ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAYBE INCLUDE
SOME OF IT IT CONCERNS ME THAT
AQUA FOR EXAMPLE WASN'T
FAVORABLE. I SEE YOU'VE DONE THE
HARD WORK IT TAKES TO MOVE THEM
I'M OUT OF OPPOSITION AND I
THINK THAT WAS REALLY GOOD WORK.
BUT THEY DO HAVE A VERY GOOD
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HAVE TO GO THROUGH.
IN ORDER TO RETROFIT SOMETHING
TO A NEW STANDARD I THINK YOU'RE
ON THE RIGHT TRACK. YOU'RE RIGHT
IT'S A BIG AND IMPORTANT GOAL
AND SO I'M ABSOLUTELY GOING TO
SUPPORT IT TODAY BUT I WOULD
JUST ENCOURAGE YOU TO. MAYBE
BRING ON SOME OF THOSE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO AND ASK
THEM HOW THIS MIGHT. WED UP WITH
THEIR PROCESS THROUGH COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT. GREAT AND THE ISSUE
OF WHAT IS GOING TO COME IN ON
TIME FRAME AT ALL OR- MISTER.
WE'RE NOT NECESSARILY WELL YOU
CAN CERTAINLY EXTEND THOSE- TIME
FRAMES AND YOU CAN ALSO.
SEGREGATE TYPES OF BUILDINGS
LIKE FENESTRATION- OR YOU KNOW
THE HEATING AND COOLING SYSTEM
OVER TIME THEIR DIFFERENT WAYS
OF LOOKING AT. ALL OF THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES. BUT BUT
FUNDAMENTALLY YOU KNOW YOU START
WITH- DATA COLLECTION YOU KNOW
WHICH IS WHAT CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN DOING IN FOR A VERY LONG
TIME. AND THEN YOU START
THINKING ABOUT BENCHMARKING. AND
THEN YOU GO TO ENERGY AUDITS
WHICH IDENTIFY THE RANGE OF
POTENTIAL SAVINGS AND COSTS- AND
THEN YOU START LOOKING AT THE
BUILDING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
CHAU. THERE IS THERE IS A LOT
THAT- IF YOU TALK ABOUT THAT YOU
HAVE TO THINK OF THE- METRICS
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO. HAVE HERE
TO DETERMINE. WHAT SUCCESS IS
YOU ALSO HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE
TARGET- WHAT'S THE GOAL OF THE
REDUCTION OF THE EMISSIONS
AVOIDANCE- IN THIS CASE IT'S
GOING TO BE BY BUILDING TYPE
DIFFERENT BUILDINGS HAVE
DIFFERENT PERFORMANCE. THEY'RE
ALSO IN DIFFERENT- UP. ABOUT A
CLIMATE JUMPS INTO ALL THOSE
THINGS THOSE ARE THE SAME THINGS
ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT. NEW COACH OF NEW
ENERGY CODE SPECIFICALLY AND
TITLE SIX OF US I MEAN TITLE
TWENTY FOUR. PART SIX BUT THAT'S
THE ENERGY CODE AND THEN LASTLY
I WOULD SAY WHAT'S THE PATHWAY
AND THAT PATHWAY IS REALLY YOU
KNOW WHAT HOW CAN I FINANCE THIS
WHAT WHAT ARE THE OPPORTUNITIES
THERE. BUT GETTING PEOPLE TO
PROVIDE THAT INPUT- AS PART OF
THE CDC STRATEGY IS GOING TO
INFORM- YOU KNOW WHAT THESE
OTHER- WHAT WHAT. CERTAINLY
BUILDING OWNERS ARE GOING TO BE
ASKING ABOUT YES I THINK IT GETS
TO THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS THAT.
THAT WILL EMBARK ON HERE BUT
THEY THINK EFFORT. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR COMMENTS ARE ASHLEY. TO
RUBIO. MY VOICE IS GONE TODAY.
SO I JUST WANNA GO ON RECORD AND
I WILL ECHO SENATOR EGGMAN'S
COMMENTS THANK YOU. COPYRIGHT
ANY FURTHER ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

MEASURE. HEARING SEEN NONE

UNDERTAKING. CAN LOOK FOR TO

APPRECIATE- SUPPORT MOVING THIS
FORWARD TODAY. AND NOT LET ME
JUST GO ON RECORD I APPRECIATE
YOUR WILLINGNESS TO MEET WITH ME
AND- DISCUSS THOSE CONCERNS AT
ALL WE HAD AS IT RELATES TO THIS
ISSUE AND- MY UNDERSTANDING NOW.

THAT. AND THE DISH NO- AMENDMENT

AND THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES LAUNCHED AN
ELECTRIC VEHICLE CARSHARE

PUBLIC HOUSING COMPLEX- WITH TWO
ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND CHARGERS
THIS PROGRAM INCREASE YOUR
MISSION VEHICLE ACCESS IN THIS
HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITY WHILE ALSO REDUCING
CARBON EMISSIONS AND TO DATE THE
PROGRAM HAS BEEN A RESOUNDING
SUCCESS BY ENABLING SAN PEDRO-
HOUSING RESIDENTS TO COMMUTE FOR
WORK MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS
ERRANDS AND VISIT. OR VISIT
FAMILY AND FRIENDS- SB FIVE TO
NINE BILLS OFF OF THAT SUCCESS
OF LACI'S ST PETER CARSHARE
PROGRAM BY CREATING A STATEWIDE
GRANT PROGRAM TO DEPLOY SIMILAR
ELECTRIC CAR SHARE PROGRAMS AT A

LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE STATE-
THIS PROGRAM WILL ALLOW FOR THE
ACQUISITION OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND I THINK
THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
THOUGHTFULNESS AND CONSIDERING
THE BILL AND ALL THE CLARIFYING
AMENDMENTS. TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT TODAY I HAVE CARLA
VELASCO WITH THE HOUSING
AUTHORITY FOR THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES. AS WELL AS RUBEN ARCE
HAD MANDATE IS A RESIDENT OF THE
RANCHO SAN PEDRO AFFORDABLE
HOUSING COMPLEX RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE ON SB FIVE TO
NINE. HOW ARE YOU HOW TWO
MINUTES TO FOR YOUR TESTIMONY
PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS CARLA VELASCO AND I'M A
COMMUNITY RELATIONS SPECIALIST
FOR THE HOUSING AUTHORITY OF THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES. ONE OF THE
NATION'S LARGEST HOUSING
AUTHORITIES THAT PROVIDE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THERE ARE
RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS. I
MANAGED NINE COMMUNITY COACH AT
RENT SAN P. RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY
POLLUTION CAUSED BY THE NEARBY
HIGHWAYS AND PART OF LOS
ANGELES. THE COMMUNITY COACHES
ARE RESIDENTS TO BECOME
AMBASSADORS FOR THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CARSHARE PROGRAM. THESE
RESIDENTS HAVE TAKEN THE
INITIATIVE TO RECEIVE TRAINING
ON HOW TO USE THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLES. AND THEN THEY BECOME
TRAINERS BY SHARING THEIR FIRST
HAND EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR
NEIGHBORS. IN ADDITION THEY
HELPED US WITH THE COMMUNITY OUT
REACH BY HANDING OUT FLYERS IN
THE COMMUNITY. ENCOURAGING NEW
USERS TO SIGN UP FOR THE PROGRAM
AND RELATING THE FEEDBACK THEY
RECEIVED ON THE GROUND TO THE
PARTNERS. WE QUICKLY FOUND OUT
THAT WORD OF MOUTH IS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR INCREASING
PARTICIPATION. ESPECIALLY WHEN
TRYING TO GAIN TRUST FROM THE
COMMUNITY. OVER TIME THE KARCHER
SERVICE WAS A RESOUNDING
SUCCESS. AND MANY OF THE
RESIDENTS WERE UTILIZING THE
PROGRAM. THROUGH THIS EXPERIENCE
WE LEARNED THAT RESIDENT
INVOLVEMENT WAS KEY TO GETTING
BUY IN FROM THE COMMUNITY TO USE
THE SERVICE. THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CAR SHARING PROGRAM IS
AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY TO RANCHES
AND PETER RESIDENCE WHICH
CONSIST OF FOUR HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE FAMILIES. AND WE
HAVE A TOTAL OF EIGHTY SEVEN
REGISTERED USERS. THERE ARE TWO
ELECTRIC VEHICLES AVAILABLE FOR
BOOKING AT AN HOURLY RATE OF
FIVE DOLLARS AN HOUR. MANY OF
THE RESIDENTS FOR THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CARSHARE SERVICE OVER
PUBLIC TRANSIT. IT IS CHEAPER
MORE CONVENIENT AND QUICKER THAN
OTHER TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS. IN
MY WORK AT THE RANCH OF ST PETER
HOUSING COMPLEX I WITNESSED
FIRST HAND. HOW THE ELECTRIC
VEHICLE CARSHARE SERVICE
BENEFITTED THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING RESIDENCE. BEFORE THE
CAR SHARE SERVICE MANY OF THE
RESIDENTS LACKED A RELIABLE
AFFORDABLE TRANSPORTATION
OPTION. WHICH MADE IT HARDER FOR
PEOPLE TO GET TO WORK TAKE THEIR
KIDS TO SCHOOL. RUN ERRANDS
VISIT FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
COMPLETE MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS
AND GO TO JOB INTERVIEWS. THE
ELECTRIC CARSHARE SERVICE GAVE
RESIDENTS MORE FREEDOM AND
OPPORTUNITY- THEIR QUALITY OF
LIFE. I STRONGLY SUPPORT SB FIVE
TWENTY NINE. BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN
A RESOUNDING SUCCESS IN THIS
COMMUNITY. AND I BELIEVE IT CAN
IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR
OUR STATE'S MOST UNDER RESOURCE.

THE AUTHOR I WAS AT THE- A
PRESENTATION THAT WAS MADE TO
COMMUNITY UP BY THOSE MEMBERS
SUCH AS THE GENTLEMAN WHO SPOKE.
ON THE USE OF THESE- ELECTRIC
VEHICLES IN THEIR COMMUNITY
WHICH FOR THE MOST PART IS FOR
WORKING CLASS THE WORKING POOR.
AND TO HEAR THEM AS SUCH AS THE
GENTLEMAN SAID TODAY ABOUT WHAT
IT FEELS LIKE TO LEARN HOW TO
DRIVE THESE ELECTRIC VEHICLES
AND HOW MUCH MORE EFFICIENT AND-
YOU KNOW JUST GETTING AROUND IN
A PLACE LIKE LOS ANGELES A MUCH
MORE DIFFICULT IT IS FOR THE
CURRENT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.
BUT I'M REALLY GLAD TO HEAR
FURTHER TESTIMONY I THINK IT'S
GREAT AND I HOPE IT'S A- IT'LL
HELP PEOPLE I WISH I HAD IT IN
MY COMMUNITY TO MAKE ME LESS
FEARFUL OF DOING THESE SENATE
DRIVING THESE CARS AROUND SO
JUST THANK THE OPTIMAL SUPPORT
THANK YOU CENTER STARTUP. YEAH I
JUST. KIND OF A CONCERN QUESTION
ABOUT THE LIABILITY- WHO. WHO
DOES THE LIABILITY EXIST WITH IF
THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OF SOMEBODY
THAT IS IMPAIRED TAKES OUT ONE
OF THESE VEHICLES. AND AND
CREATES A PROBLEM BECAUSE- I
KNOW THE SCHOOLS HAVE A SIMILAR
PROGRAM THEY HAVE A LOT OF E. V.
FIRE NOT NECESSARILY EVEY
VEHICLES BUT COOL VEHICLES FOR
THE STUDENTS TO USE BUT THE
SCHOOL CAN FINANCIALLY ABSORB.
THAT KIND OF A LIABILITY HIT IF
THERE'S A LARGE LAWSUIT ATTACHED
TO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE BY THE
VERY NATURE OF BEING IN AN
AFFORDABLE- COMPLEX. AS THESE
THE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE DEEP
POCKETS. AND SO SOMEBODY SEEKING
TO- A QUIET RECOVER DAMAGES IN
AN ACCIDENT OR SOMETHING OF THAT
NATURE- WOULD MOST LIKELY BE
GOING AFTER EITHER WHOEVER D.
CORPORATION IS THAT PUT THIS OUT
OR THE GRANT PROGRAM ITSELF BUT
HOW DO THEY COVER THE LIABILITY
PART. IS ATTACHED TO THE GRANT.
IS IT YEAH YES THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION SENATOR- AT YOU KNOW IT
CURRENTLY WITH THEIR SIMILAR
PROGRAM CLEAN MOBILITY THAT'S
I'M RUN BY CARB- RIGHT NOW SAID
VERY SIMILAR PROGRAM BUT YOU
KNOW LOTS OF THERE ARE SOME
DIFFERENCES BUT- IT WOULD BE-
THE HOUSING AUTHORITY THE
HOUSING- COMPLEX THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY- HOLD THE LIABILITY
BUT- EVERY CAR WOULD BE INSURED
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYTHING WAS ON THE UP AND UP
TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE WERE AS
SAFE AS POSSIBLE BUT- I DON'T OF
CAR. CARLA HAS ADDITIONAL. OKAY
GRANDET EACH INDIVIDUAL DRIVER
HAS TO GO THROUGH A PROCESS
WHERE THEIR LICENSE IS CHECKED-
RELIABILITY THEY KERRY INSURANCE
FOR THEMSELVES- PERSONAL
LIABILITY FOR DRIVING ABSOLUTELY
I AND ALL OF THAT IS. THAT IS ON
RECORD SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE IT
GO OUT AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE
AN APP- AT THE PROGRAM IN RANCHO
SAN PEDRO THAT BASICALLY UPLOAD
SINI UPLOAD YOUR LICENSE YOU
UPLOAD ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION
OR YOUR- ID. I'M TO BE ABLE TO
RUN THE PROJECT THANK YOU DRIVE
THE CAR FINE THANK YOU. ANY
OTHER ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS. DISCRIMINANT SOONER
AND SOONER WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE I JUST WANT TO THANK THE-
CARLA EMAIL ADDRESS A SETTLEMENT
ON THE ENFORCEABLE MONTEVIDEO- I
WANT TO THANK- YOU KNOW THE- THE
FOLKS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD
BECAUSE THIS IS A REALLY GREAT
PROGRAM I WOULD BE ABLE TO. LOVE
TO BE ABLE TO SOCIALIZE THIS AS
SENATOR THAT ALSO MENTIONED. TO

ACCESS TO EV'S SO WITHOUT IT
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A VOTE. AND

WHICH SEEKS TO PROTECT FRONTLINE
UTILITY WORKERS. I'D LIKE TO
THANK THE COMMUNITY THAT
COMMITTEE CONSULTANTS FOR THEIR
HELP THEY WORKED HARD ON THIS
BILL WITH US AND I WILL GLADLY
BE ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS. IN ORDER TO COMBAT
RECENT PUBLIC HARASSMENT AND
VIOLENCE TOWARDS UTILITY WORKERS
SB SEVEN OH FIVE WOULD REQUIRE
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT A PUBLIC
EDUCATION CAMPAIGN ON THE
INCREASED FREQUENCY OF
AGGRESSION AND VIOLENCE TOWARDS
UTILITY WORKERS. UTILITY WORKERS
ARE ESSENTIAL TO DEPENDABLE
SECURE ELECTRIC AND GAS SERVICE
FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS HOWEVER
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS UTILITY
WORKERS HAVE BEEN THE TARGET OF
INTENSE. PUBLIC ANGER TOWARD
UTILITY COMPANIES EVEN THOUGH
THESE WORKERS HAVE NOTHING TO DO
WITH THE COMPANY'S DECISIONS.
THEIR WORK CAN OFTEN BE
HAZARDOUS WORKING AROUND GAS
PIPELINES AND LIVE ELECTRICAL
WIRES ALL WHILE PUTTING AN
EXTREMELY LONG HOURS OFTEN AWAY
FROM THEIR FAMILIES FOR EXTENDED
PERIODS OF TIME. AND ON TOP OF
THEIR ALREADY DANGEROUS JOB
WORKERS HAVE EXPERIENCED
HARASSMENT AGGRESSION AND
VIOLENCE INCLUDING VERBAL
THREATS PHYSICAL ASSAULTS AND IN
SOME INSTANCES EVEN BEING SHOT
AT WITH GUNS. BY EDUCATING THE
PUBLIC ON THE ESSENTIAL ROLE
UTILITY WORKERS PLAY SB SEVEN OH
FIVE WILL HELP PROTECT WORKERS
AND CREATE A BETTER RELATIONSHIP
AND UNDERSTANDING WITHIN THEIR
COMMUNITY. IMPROVING WORKING
CONDITIONS AND MAKING THEIR JOBS
SAFER SO THEY CAN RETURN HOME TO
THEIR LOVED ONES AFTER MAKING
SURE THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA
HAVE ACCESS TO ESSENTIAL
SERVICES. I HAVE TWO WITNESSES
WITH ME TODAY CHAIRMAN THE FIRST
IS CHRIS FAILING WHO IS A
JOURNEYMAN CABLE SPLICER FOR
PG&E AND A MEMBER OF I. B. E. W.
TWELVE FORTY FIVE. AND THE OTHER
IS SCOTT WHICH ON BEHALF OF THE
COALITION OF CALIFORNIA UTILITY
EMPLOYEES. HUGE WILL HAVE TWO
MINUTES I SEE MISTER WHICH IS UP
FIRST. MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS BEFORE INVITE OUR MEMBER
DISTRICTS FAILING UP- BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA COALITION OF UTILITY
IN IT IN EMPLOYEES. HISTORICALLY
UTILITY WORKERS HAVE BEEN A
WELCOME SIGHT DURING POWER
OUTAGES I THINK WE'LL WITNESS
THE RELICS JUST IN THE LAST
STORMS. BUT SINCE THE
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRES IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN TO TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND
YOU THE UTILITY PUBLIC SAFETY
POWER SHUT OFFS IN TWENTY
NINETEEN. UTILITY WORKERS HAVE
BEEN THE TARGET OF INTENSE
PUBLIC ANGER. DID YOU KILL THE
COMPANIES EVEN AS THE AUTHOR
STATED THEY THE FRONTLINE
WORKERS DON'T MAKE. THE COMPANY
DECISIONS. WE FOR A NUMBER OF
YEARS HAVE CHRONICLED A LONG
LIST OF SALT. BOTH VERBAL AND
PHYSICAL- ROCKS BEING ATTACKED
HAVING DEBRIS ROCKS BRICKS
THROWN AT THEM AND MULTIPLE
INCIDENTS OF GUN SHOTS. THEY
HAVE BEEN WELL CHRONICLED IN IN
IN THE MEDIA. IN ADDITION
UTILITY WORKERS OFTENTIMES WORK
AT NIGHT IN THE DARK- IT CAN BE
VERY DANGEROUS JOB HE KILL THE
WORKERS NEED TO GO INTO HOMES.
OFTEN AFTER HOURS TO HELP
RESTORE PILOT LIGHTS SOMETIMES
TO DO DISCONNECTIONS IF IT'S A
IF IT'S A- CASE WHERE THERE'S A
DISCONNECTION AND THEY ENCOUNTER
BUT NOT ONLY SOMETIMES HOSTILE
RATEPAYERS. CUSTOMERS BUT ALSO
CRIMINALS WHO HAVE COME TO
APPRECIATE THAT THEY CARRY VERY
EXPENSIVE TOOL BOXES COMPUTERS
AND OTHER EQUIPMENT. BOB RATHER
THAN- TRYING TO PURSUE ANY SORTS
OF ENHANCEMENTS OR THINGS OF
THAT NATURE. THE APPROACH THAT
WE HAVE TAKEN. IS THAT WE WANT
TO DIRECT P. YOU SEE TO CREATE A
PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN OF THE
EXISTING PENALTIES- THAT WOULD
BE ACCRUED FOR ASSAULTING OR
ATTACKING UTILITY WORKER SIMILAR
TO SOME OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE
ANNOUNCEMENTS A CALTRANS RUNS TO
PROTECT. WORKERS OUT ON THE
HIGHWAYS IN THE FREEWAYS- JUST
TO PUT A FINER POINT ON THIS
THIS SITUATION THE BAY AREA HAS
BECOME SO SEVERE. THE P. JEANNIE
HAS UNDERTAKEN A PILOT PROGRAM
OF OUTFITTING MY MEMBERS IN
CERTAIN AREAS DOING CERTAIN
WORK. WITH BALLISTIC VESTS
BELIEVE IT OR NOT. AND SO WE
THINK THIS IS A REASONABLE
APPROACH UNINVITED UP A FEW
MEMBERS TO TALK ABOUT THEIR-
MISTER FAIRLY FAILING TO TALK
ABOUT HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
AND WE WOULD URGE AYE VOTE THANK
YOU. THANK YOU YOU HAVE TO
MANAGE PLEASE. SCARED MISTER
ANTHONY THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING
ME TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF YOU MY
NAME IS CHRIS FOR FAILING I'VE
BEEN IBEW ELECTRICAL WORKER FOR
PGD FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS-
SPLITTING MY TIME BETWEEN SAN
FRANCISCO AND OAKLAND. THE PAST
FOUR YEARS I'VE WORKED AS A
JOURNEYMAN IN OAKLAND AND THAT
ENTAILS HAVING A LOT OF
RESPONSIBILITIES NUMBER ONE
KEEPING MYSELF IN THE CREW SAFE-
WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN THERE TO HELP
THE CUSTOMERS COUNT CUTS ME USED
TO BE HAPPY TO SEE AS WE SHOW UP
BECAUSE WE'RE THERE TO GET POWER
ON. NOW DUE TO FIRES COURT
PROCEEDINGS IN THE CURRENT
POLITICAL CLIMATE WE ARE VIEWED
AS THE PROBLEM AND BECOME THE
TARGET FOR CUSTOMERS TO RELEASE
THESE FRUSTRATIONS UPON- A YOUNG
APPRENTICE AND I WORKED WITH IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WAS
SUCKER PUNCHED FROM BEHIND AND
HAD TO CALL OUR COMPANY NURSE
AND GET RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW
TO TREAT THE SITUATION. A CO
WORKER BUT I ALSO WORK WITH MY
OAKLEY YARD WE SHOT IN A COMPANY
VEHICLE IS NOW PARALYZED. AND
PERSONALLY MORE TIMES THAN I CAN
COUNT I HAVE HAD THREATS OF
PHYSICAL VIOLENCE INCLUDING
SOMEONE REACHING INTO THEIR
WAISTBAND JUST BECAUSE THEY
DON'T LIKE WHERE I HAVE MY TRUCK
PARKED. TRYING TO GET THE POWER
IN THE LIGHTS BACK ON- JUST
BECAUSE OF MY TRUCKS LOCATION
ISN'T REASON ENOUGH FOR ME TO BE
HAVING. THESE INTERACTIONS WITH
CUSTOMERS WHEN I'M THERE TO HELP
MY JOB IS HIGHLY HAZARDOUS. BUT
I CAN MITIGATE THESE HAZARDS BY
FOLLOWING SAFE WORK PROCEDURES.
BY PUTTING OUT CONES BARRICADES
AND SAFETY TAIL BOARDING THE
CREW THAT I WORK WITH ABOUT THE
HAZARDS THAT WE HAVE IN THE JOB
WE'RE ABOUT TO PERFORM. BUT I
HAVE NO CONTROL. OVER THE
CUSTOMER'S ACTIONS OR THOUGHTS
THAT ARE HAPPENING AROUND ME. I
MEAN- IN OAKLAND WE'RE PILOTING
A PROGRAM AS STATED TO WEAR
BULLETPROOF VESTS. WE AND WE
FEEL THE SITUATION MERITS. I'M
NOT IN THE MILITARY I NEVER HAVE
BEEN. I'M NOT IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT. AND I SHOULD NOT
HAVE TO WEAR A BULLET PROOF
VESTS TO GO WORK IN THE
COMMUNITY I'M SUPPORTING.
UTILITY WORKERS IN THE FIELD ARE
THE FACE OF THE COMPANY TO
CUSTOMERS 80% OF THE TIME. WE
ARE YOUR FRIENDS YOUR FAMILY AND

COMMITTEE ARE THEIR QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS AS IT RELATES TO THIS.
SO YOUR TOTAL. WELL FIRST OF ALL
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING A BILL TO
PROTECT PEOPLE THAT. CURRENTLY
NEED PROTECTION AND IT'S A SAD
STATE OF AFFAIRS THAT- PEOPLE
THAT ARE JUST OUT THERE TRYING
TO. DO GOOD THINGS AND HELP THE
PUBLIC- ARE BEING ATTACKED- FOR
WHATEVER REASONS SHOULDN'T NEED
AN EDUCATION CAMPAIGN- TO TELL
SOMEBODY THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT TO
THROW A BRICK THROUGH SOMEBODY'S
WINDOW. BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT IS
AND I NOTICED IN THE BACKGROUND
OF THIS THAT- THIS BILL DIFFERS
FROM PASSED LEGISLATION BECAUSE
IT FOCUSES ON PUBLIC EDUCATION
INSTEAD OF INCREASING CRIMINAL
PENALTIES PENALTIES WHICH IS A
LOT OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
SO EVERY YEAR THIS IS GOING TO
HAVE AN EVALUATION PERIOD TO SEE
IF THIS IS EVEN MAKING A DENT IN
THE PROBLEM. YES THAT IS THE
INTENT YES OKAY AND IF IT'S NOT
. ARE WE GOING TO REACT TO THAT-
BECAUSE- I GET YOU KNOW WHAT I
THINK FIVE YEARS A LONG TIME FOR
PEOPLE TO PUT UP WITH HAVING
BRICKS THROWN AT THEM AND BEING
IT. N. CENTER I THINK THAT'S
FAIR BUT THAT'S WHY WE'RE DOING
THE ANNUAL ANALYSIS SO YES I
WOULD THINK IF WE CAME BACK WITH
ANALYSIS IN THE FIRST YEAR
SECOND YEAR THAT SHOWED HEY WE
NEED TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAT WE WOULD ENTERTAIN THAT
CONVERSATION BUT THERE HAVE BEEN
OTHER CAMPAIGNS YOU PROBABLY ALL
ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH SOME OF
THE CALTRANS ONES THAT SAY YOU
KNOW. BE CAREFUL MY MOM WORKS
HERE MY DAD WORKS HERE AND THOSE
HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL SO
IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO START.
CALTRANS IS AN ACCIDENT. WHAT
THIS WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THESE
FOLKS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT.
BUSINESS PEOPLE WITH NO
CONSEQUENCES GOING OUT AND
ACTING OUT ON THEIR RAGE
UNDERSTAFFED THAT'S TERRIBLE SO.
ANYWAY WELL THANK YOU THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD. PLAN
TO SUPPORT THIS BUT I ALSO PLAN
ON LISTENING. TO SEE IF THIS IS
EFFECTIVE AT ALL THAT IF IT
ISN'T I HOPE MEMBERS OF HIS
BODY. WE'LL TAKE A QUICK AND
IMMEDIATE ACTION TO INCREASE-
WHAT WE'RE DOING TO DETER PEOPLE
AND HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR
DOING THIS. THESE ACTS AGAINST
THESE THESE POOR WORKERS THAT'S

CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS DOWNTREND YOUNG AND
THE DIRECTOR OF GROUP MANAGEMENT
SERVICES OPERATIONS FOR UNION
PACIFIC AND I'VE WORKED FOR THE
COMPANY FOR TEN YEARS I
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PROVIDE UNION PACIFIC'S INPUT ON
THIS BILL. OPERATING A SAFE AND
EFFICIENT RAILROAD IS UNION
PACIFIC'S TOP PRIORITY.
MAINTAINING THE SAFETY OF OUR
EMPLOYEES THE PUBLIC AND OUR
CUSTOMERS IS AT THE CORE OF
EVERYTHING WE DO. IN FACT RAIL
INDUSTRY. HAS LOWER EMPLOYEE
INJURY RATES THE MOST OF THE
OTHER SECTORS INCLUDING.
TRUCKING AIRLINES MANUFACTURING
AND CONSTRUCTION. DALY JOB
SAFETY BRIEFINGS ARE REQUIRED
PRIOR TO ANY PERFORMANCE OF WORK
SO THERE IS- COMMUNICATION THE
ACTIONS TO BE COMPLETED. THIS
KEEPS TRAIN EMPLOYEES ALIGN WITH
EACH OTHER ENSURING A SAFETY
FIRST CULTURE AND MENTALITY IF
THE PLANS CHANGE ANOTHER SAFETY
BRIEFING IS REQUIRED. THERE ARE
THOUSANDS OF DAILY ACTIVITIES
REQUIRED FOR OPERATIONS ON OUR
NETWORK USING OUR RESOURCES
EFFICIENTLY TO LEVERAGE AND
FLEXEN AT WORK CAPACITY ALLOWS
US TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF WORK
ADVANCE EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED
TO PERFORM. REAL WORLD HIGHER
BILL CHARTER PARTY AN EXEMPT
CARRIERS FOR CREW TRANSPORT. IT
IS VITALLY IMPORTANT TO ALLOW
RAILROAD EMPLOYEES THE ABILITY
TO TRANSFER ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT
LIMITATION FOR INSTANCE HAVING
CRAFT EMPLOYEES AND MANAGE
EMPLOYEES. OF RAILROADS PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES THESE
ACTIVITIES CANNOT BE LIMITED TO
EMPLOYEES WITHOUT COMPENSATION
AND OUTSIDE OF WORK HOURS.
RAILROADS OPERATE TWENTY FOUR
HOURS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND
URGENT TRANSPORTATION NEEDS CAN
OCCUR AT ANY TIME. FLEXIBILITY
IN A RELATIVELY TRANSPORTATION
IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP THE RAIL
NETWORK FLUID MEET CUSTOMER
EXPECTATIONS AND TO GET OUR
EMPLOYEES TO TERMINALS ARE
HOMES. HOTELS FOR TIME OFF DUTY
SO THEY CAN GET THEIR FEDERALLY
REGULATED HOURS OF REST. A
SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OF THIS WOULD
BE IN TIMES OF SERVICE
INTERRUPTIONS A LOCAL
ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER FROM
SACRAMENTO OR LA. MAY VOLUNTEER
TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES. WITH THAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE A STRIKING OF THE
COMPENSATION AND OUTSIDE WORK
HOURS LANGUAGE IN SUBSECTION D.
TWO IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SAFE AND
EFFICIENT EMPLOYEE
TRANSPORTATION. THANK YOU AND
HAVE I'M HERE TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU MCGEORGE.
THE MESSAGE. MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE GOOD
EVENING ON MADDIE REPRESENTING
BNSF RAILWAY- I AGREE WITH
CENTER ARCHULETA. RAILROAD
WORKERS ARE THE BACKBONE. OF THE
WORKERS IN THIS COUNTRY- WE HAVE
SOME. AMENDMENTS WE LIKE TO SEE
IN THE BILL- COUPLE THINGS FIRST
I'D LIKE TO STATE IS WHERE A
LITTLE SLIGHTLY CONFUSED ABOUT.
THE PURPOSES OF THIS BILL AND
THE REASON FOR THAT IS THAT.
THERE'S ALREADY REGULATION FOR
CHARTER PARTY CARRIERS. THIS IS
BEEN REGULATION FROM MANY MANY
MANY YEARS AND CENTER- BRADFORD
I KNOW YOU HE CARRIED A BILL
DEALING WITH CHARTER PARTY
CARRIERS ON THE AVIS MATTER- SO
WE DISAGREE WITH THE PREMISE OF
THE BILL AND THE FACT THAT. IS A
BILL ANALYSIS POINTS OUT IN
SUPPORT ARGUMENTS AND THEY ALSO
STATED TODAY THAT- THE-
CONTRACTORS ARE CURRENTLY NOT
REGULATORS ARE POORLY REGULATED.
THE CPUC REGULATES THE
CONTRACTORS THAT WE USE NOW
THEIR CHARTER PARTY CARRIERS BY
DEFINITION THE DEFINITIONS THAT
THE SENATOR IS PROPOSING TO PUT
INTO THE BILL I MEAN PUT INTO-
STATUTE NOW. ARE ADDITIONAL
WHICH MAKES IT I GUESS CLEAR
WHICH IS OKAY IT'S CLEAR THAT
CREW TRANSPORTATION WILL BE
INVOLVED BUT THE CURRENT
DEFINITIONS IS ANYBODY WHO MOVE
SOMEBODY AROUND FOR HIGHER. IN
THESE VANS IS ALREADY COVERED BY
REGULATION. SECOND ALTHOUGH MANY
EMPLOYEES NOT JUST REAL CREW ARE
TRANSPORTED BY THIRD PARTY
CONTRACTORS AND OTHERS HUGE
CONTRACT WITH THE SAME KERRIER
THAT WE USE FOR TRANSPORTING
SILICON VALLEY. FOLKS INTO FROM
FUND MORE AFFORDABLE AREAS INTO
THE SILICON VALLEY- THAT LIMITS
ONLY RAILROAD WORKERS ARE REAL
ROAD CREW OPERATORS TO Z.
PERMIT. WE HAVE OPERATORS USE A
P. PERMIT THE DIFFERENCE IN THE
P. AND THIS HE HAS NOTHING TO DO
A SAFETY REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SAME. THE PC REGARDLESS AND
REQUIREMENTS FOR CRP BUT THE P.
IS FOR THOSE CARRIERS AND ONLY
HAVE BANDS THAT ARE OF. OF THE
SIZE OF FIFTEEN OCCUPANTS. THE
ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE MORE THAN
FIFTEEN SO OUR BIGGEST WEEKLY
ACTUALLY HAVE ONE CONTRACT THAT
WE USE BEST A HIS. HALT CON. AND
LOG ON TO THE PEOPLE. AND SO WE
LIKE TO HAVE THE BILL EXPANDED
TO AT LEAST ALLOW THE PERMIT
UNLESS THERE'S GONNA BE SOME.
DISCUSSION ABOUT WHY THE STATE'S
REQUIREMENTS ARE MORE WE DON'T
SEE IT. ALSO JUST OF NOTE ALL
CON. DRIVERS HAVE A COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT. IT'LL SO I
I'M KIND OF CURIOUS HOW THAT
WORKS OUT WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN OF
THE DRIVERS OF A COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT. AND THE
WORKERS HAVE A COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENT FURTHER.
AND APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS TO
TAKE IN THE AMENDMENTS BECAUSE I
THINK THAT WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO THE
EXCEPTIONS FOR. A CAR POOLS AND
FOR ROAD WORKERS TO. TRANSPORT
THEIR FELLOW WORKERS THAT'S GOOD
AMENDMENT APPRECIATE THAT AND
FINALLY ON THE LIABILITY
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. IT'S NOT
FOR ALL CARRIERS THAT THESE
LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
ARE BEING CHANGED IT'S ONLY FOR
ITS ONLY FOR. WORKERS ONLY FOR
RAILROAD WORKERS ARE BEING
CARRIED AN EVENT. THERE IS A
GENERAL ORDER CPUC GENERAL ORDER
ONE FIFTEEN HAS VERY SPECIFIC
REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE
OCCUPANCY SIZE OF THE VAN. SO
YES THERE'S HIGHER REQUIREMENTS
FOR LARGER BANDS SMALLER.
SMALLER BANDS BUT THIS IS BEEN
CODE FOR THE STUDENT GENERAL
ORDER FOR MANY YEARS. SO THOSE
REQUIREMENTS ARE ALREADY IN. THE
GENERAL ORDERS SO WE WOULD
PREFER. IF YOU WENT TO. A
PROCEEDING. TO DEAL WITH THOSE
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS SO THAT
ALL THE EVIDENCE COULD BE
BROUGHT FORWARD AS TO WHAT THE
IMPACT WOULD BE WHAT THE MARKET
IS FOR THAT TYPE OF INSURANCE. A
MINUTE CLOSER UNLESS YOU WANT TO
TALK SOME MORE ABOUT THE
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS. THE
WORKERS COMP WAS RAISED UP WE
HAVE FEEL THE- ROAD WORKERS OF
ALWAYS BEEN UNDER THE FEDERAL
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY ACT. THE
GOOD PART ABOUT THE FEDERAL
EMPLOYERS LIABILITY ACT AS YOU
CAN SUE FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES YOU
CAN SUE FOR PAIN AND SUFFERING
CORPUS COM DOESN'T DO THAT. SO
THERE'S A BANDAGES THERE'S
DISADVANTAGES SNOWFALL PURSE
FAULT. SO THERE'S A VENDOR
DISADVANTAGED WE ALSO HAVE WHICH
HAS BEEN WORKED OUT AND CLICK
DURING MARKETING. OKAY ONE
MOMENT. ALSO WERE DONE CLICK THE
BARGAINING THE UP OFF TRACK
VEHICLE ACCIDENT BENEFITS WHERE
WORKERS GET UP TO A THOUSAND
DOLLARS A WEEK. FOR THREE YEARS.
THANK YOU FOR TO KEEP THE CLICK
YOU ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS BY
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. NO OKAY.
CENTER ARCHULETA WOULD TALK TO
CLOSE THIS YEAR. THIS IS A BILL
ABOUT SAFETY THIS IS A BILL
ABOUT HUMAN LIFE THIS IS A BILL
ABOUT OUR WORKERS THAT- RUN OUR
TRAINS ARE. TRAINS THAT GO FROM
ONE AREA TO THE OTHER AND
THEY'VE GOT TO BE TRANSPORTED-
IN A VEHICLE. IN SOMETIMES AT
VEHICLE WILL DRIVE FIVE MILES
TWENTY MILES. TO GET TO THE NEXT
LOAD TO THE ENTIRE CREW. IS PUT
IN THESE VEHICLES IN THIS IS
ABOUT THEIR SAFETY AND THIS IS
ABOUT RAISING THE INSURANCE
LEVELS. AND WITH THAT- DO HAVE A
QUESTION I TELL YOU YOUR CLOTHES

CLOTHES. THANK YOU MR HERE AS I
MENTIONED THIS BILL IS ABOUT
SAFETY HUMAN LIFE IN ITS
TRANSPORT IN THE CRUISE FROM ONE
LOCATION TO THE OTHER. MOST OF
US DON'T UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE
RAIL SYSTEMS- AND I'VE GOTTEN
THE MORE INFORMATION AND ONE
CREW WILL GO FROM POINT A TO
POINT B. VIA THE TRANSPORTATION
UNIT IN BETWEEN AND IT TURNS OUT
THAT THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.
THEY'VE NOT HAD THE ADEQUATE
INSURANCE NOR IS THAT DRIVER

REQUIREMENTS THE RESTING AND
SHOW WANT TO ATTACH THE PURPOSE
