IMPORTANT BILL TO HELP ACQUIRE
PRESERVE MUCH NEED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THROUGHOUT THE STATE
WE'RE IN A HOUSING CRISIS WE
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT ALL THE
DIFFERENT BEARABLE OWES- TO GET.
TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH
HOUSING FOR CALIFORNIANS AND
SENATE APPROPRIATORS- PATH IS A
WAY TOWARDS THAT- THIS BILL WILL
CREATE THE COMMUNITY ANTI
DISPLACEMENT AND PRESERVATION
PROGRAM OR CAP WITHIN DEPARTMENT
OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT OTHER PROGRAM A
PROVIDE FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND
TECHNICAL CAPACITY BUILDING TO
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. THAT WISH
TO ACQUIRE ON SUBSIDIZED HOUSING
FROM THE SPECULATIVE MARKET
WHERE RESIDENTS ARE AT RISK OF
DISPLACEMENT AND PRESERVE IT AS
AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING OR
HOME OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.
MEANING THERE ARE TIMES WHERE- A
CURRENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING CAN
IS ON THE AT RISK OF NOT BEING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING ANYMORE THIS
PROGRAM WHEN THEY COME IN TO
ACQUIRE THAT INSURING CONTINUES
AS SUCH. A LARGE MAJORITY OF LOW
INCOME CALIFORNIANS LIVE IN
UNSUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING
HOUSING WHICH IS PRIVATELY OWNED
AND SOMEWHAT MORE AFFORDABLE TO
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS. DUE TO A
VARIETY OF REASONS SUCH AS THE
LACK OF SUPPLY AND GROWING
DEMAND THIS UNSUBSIDIZED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS RAPIDLY
DISAPPEARING AND IS LIKELY TO
CONTINUE PUSHING PEOPLE OUT OF
THEIR HOMES. AND COMMUNITIES
AGAIN FOR THEIR PUTTING MORE
PEOPLE INTO RISK OF
HOMELESSNESS. AS THIS HOUSING
STOCK DISAPPEARS OR IF YOUR
PLACE IS FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIANS TO LIVE AND YOU
HOUSING PRODUCTION IS NOT
KEEPING PACE. WITH THE GROWING
DEMAND FOR AFFORDABILITY. THIS
IS AS A RISK TO THAT- LOOKING
COMMUNITIES HAVE BEGUN TO
ACQUIRE ON SUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND PRESERVING IT AS
PERMANENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THIS STRATEGY IS KNOWN AS
ACQUISITION REHAB OR ACT RECAP.

CALIFORNIA. I'M HERE IN SUPPORT
OF SB TWO SIXTY WHICH WOULD
EXPAND MASTER PRODUCT ACCESS FOR
LOW INCOME CAL WORKS RECIPIENTS.
MOST OF WHOM ARE WOMEN OF COLOR.
AS ONE OF THE YOU THOUGHT THE
FOREFRONT OF THIS MOVEMENT I'M
PROUD TO SAY THAT THIS BILL HAS
BEEN A VASTLY YOU FLOOD EFFORT.
AS A LOAN COMES YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY HAS HEAVILY BENEFITTED
FROM OFFER PROGRAMS INCLUDING
MEDIC HOW CALIFORNIANS SECTION
EIGHT HOUSING. I KNOW WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO BE FORCED APARTHEID SOME
ASSESSEES OVER OTHERS.
UNFORTUNATELY CHARACTERS APPIAN
SPACE WERE STRUGGLES AND REPORT
HAVING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN PAYING
THEIR BILLS AND RENT. AND
PURCHASING ASSESSEE'S LIKE
MONSTER PRODUCTS. CRUCIALLY
MONTHS TRADERS WHO DO NOT HAVE
ACCESS TO PRODUCTS HAVE REPORTED
USING MAKESHIFT PRODUCTS. USING
PRODUCTS FOR NOT USING PRODUCTS
AT ALL. AS A RESULT ONE IN THREE
LOW INCOME AS READERS ABOUT TO
MISS WORK SCHOOL OR OTHER
OBLIGATIONS AND THAT NUMBER
SHOULD BE ZERO. ALTHOUGH
FRIEDMAN- PRODUCTS ARE NOW
FORTUNATELY PROVIDED MOST
SCHOOLS AT SELECT RATE LEVELS SB
TWO SIXTY ADDRESSES A LARGER
RANGE OF MASS PRODUCT NEEDS FOR
LOW INCOME ADULTS. AT HOME USE
AND YOUNGER MEN STREETERS.
MOREOVER WHILE NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS AND SHELTERS
GENEROUSLY DISTRIBUTE MONSTER
PRODUCTS. LOCUM FAMILIES ARE
OFTEN UNABLE TO FULLY ACCESS
THESE RESOURCES AS 75% OF COVERS
BENEFICIARIES DO NOT OWN A CAR.
AND MANY RESIDE IN RURAL AREAS.
SB TWO SIXTY AFFIRMS ACCESS TO
MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS IS ESSENTIAL
HEALTH CARE AND IS A HUMAN
RIGHT. IT WOULD FURTHER
CALIFORNIA'S UNWAVERING
DEDICATION TO PIONEERING PURE
EQUITY. AS WE HAVE HISTORICALLY
SERVED AS A MODEL STATE FOR
ANTI. POVERTY POLICIES.

WHICH IS SB FIVE FORTY FOUR
SENATOR LAYERED REGARDING THE
BAGLEY KEENE ACT. WITH THAT SIR
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- THE SENATE BILL
FIVE FORTY FOUR CODIFIES THE
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER TO
ALLOW STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS TO CONTINUE HOLDING
VIRTUAL MEETINGS WITHOUT BEING
REQUIRED TO LIST A PRIVATE
ADDRESSES OF EACH REMOTE MEMBER
OR PROVIDING PUBLIC ACCESS TO
PRIVATE LOCATIONS. THE BILL ALSO
ALLOWS A REMOTE QUORUM TO BE
ESTABLISHED THE STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS CAN TAKE ACTION
REMOTELY. R. IN RESPONSE TO THE
PANDEMIC AND WIDESPREAD SHUT
DOWN CALIFORNIA ALLOWED STATE
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS TO
CONTINUE SERVING THE PUBLIC
REMOTELY AND SAFELY THROUGH
VIRTUAL MEETINGS. ALTHOUGH MEANT
TO BE TEMPORARY WE SAW
SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS TO THESE
REMOTE MEETINGS. OF THE LITTLE
HOOVER COMMISSION SURVEYED STATE
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS AND FOUND
THAT OVER 90% OF COSTS DECREASED
DUE TO VIRTUAL MEETINGS. AND
THAT ROUGHLY HALF OF STATE
BODIES HAD BETTER ATTENDANCE
FROM THEIR MEMBERS SINCE
APPOINTEES NO LONGER HAD TO TAKE
FULL TIME. OFF TO TRAVEL. SINCE
THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS BILL MY
OFFICES HEARD OF SEVERAL SITTING
APPOINTEES. WHO'VE RECENTLY
FACED HEALTH CHALLENGES THAT
WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THEM FROM
TRAVELING. M. AND PHYSICALLY
ATTENDING MEETINGS WITHOUT THE
CURRENT TEMPORARY WAIVERS THEIR
ONLY OPTIONS WOULD HAVE BEEN TO
MISTER MEETING OR BE FORCED TO
LIST THEIR PRIVATE ADDRESSES ON
GENDERS AND PROVIDE PUBLIC
ACCESS TO THEIR LOCATION SO THEY
COULD ATTEND REMOTELY. A MOST
IMPORTANTLY THIS BILL PROVIDES
EQUITY AND DIVERSITY IN BOTH. IN
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND BOARD
AND COMMISSION MEMBERSHIP. ARE
CALIFORNIANS THAT EXPERIENCE
CHALLENGES ATTENDING PHYSICAL
MEETINGS SUCH AS PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES CARETAKER SENIORS
LOW INCOME INDIVIDUALS HOURLY
WORKERS AND THOSE LIVING IN
RURAL OR DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE
STATE WILL HAVE AN ACTIVE VOICE
IN BOARD AND COMMISSION
MEETINGS- REMOTE MEETINGS CAN.
POTENTIALLY HELP THE STATE FILL
VACANCIES ON BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS SINCE POTENTIAL
QUALIFIED CANDIDATES ARE
EMPOWERED TO SERVE WHEN WE MAKE
IT EASIER AND MORE EQUITABLE FOR
THEM TO DO SO. ADDITIONALLY
SINCE THE START OF REMOTE
MEETINGS DURING COVERT. SOME
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS HAVE SEEN
A NOTABLE INCREASE IN PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION AND COMMENTS IN A
SELF EVALUATION OF PUBLIC
ATTENDEES AT STATE BAR MEETING
SINCE OCTOBER TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
THE STATE BAR SAW SUBSTANTIAL
ATTENDANCE AT REMOTE HEARINGS
WHEN COMPARED TO PHYSICAL ONES
AND SAW DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF
PUBLIC COMMENTS SUBMITTED AT
REMOTE MEETINGS. AT THIS BILL
PROVIDES EQUITY AND INCREASES
REPRESENTATION BY CODIFYING THE
GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER AND
THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE
LITTLE HOOVER COMMISSION REPORT
ON MODERNIZING GOVERNOR.
GOVERNMENT THERE'S NO OPPOSITION
TO THE BILL WITH ME TODAY ARE
LISA COLEMAN FROM THE CALIFORNIA
AGENT COMMISSION AND IT'S AN
RORIK FROM THE LITTLE HOOVER
COMMISSION AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME I WOULD REQUEST AN IPHONE.
CAN REMINDER SPEAKERS TO
SPEAKERS TWO MINUTES- GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS LISA COLEMAN
I'M THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR
WITH THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION
ON AGING AND I AM PLEASED TO BE
HERE AS THE ORGANIZATIONAL- CO
ORGANIZATIONAL SPONSOR. I THANK
THE SENATOR FOR THE SPELL THE
COMMISSION ON AGING IS
ESTABLISHED IN STATE STATUTE AS
AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY BODY AND
PRINCIPLE ADVOCATE BEFORE THE
GOVERNOR THE LEGISLATURE STATE
AND FEDERAL DEPARTMENTS ON
ISSUES IMPACTING OLDER ADULTS.
ARE COMMISSIONERS REPRESENTED
THE DIVERSITY OF OUR STATE WITH
MANY DECADES OF EXPERIENCE BOTH
WITH IN THE WORLD OF AGING AND
WITHOUT. THE BAGLEY KEENE ACT
WHAT THE COMMISSION ON AGING
COMPLIES WITH THE BAGLEY KEENE
ACT OF NINETEEN SIXTY SEVEN. AS
MENTIONED IN THE OPENING IN
MARCH OF TWENTY TWENTY THE
GOVERNOR ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER AUTHORIZING THE USE OF
VIRTUAL TECHNOLOGY THUS ENSURING
THAT THE STATE'S BUSINESS WOULD
CONTINUE DURING THE PANDEMIC.
WHY ARE WE HERE TODAY BECAUSE SB
FIVE FOUR FOUR IS IN RESPONSE TO
WHAT STARTED OUT AS A PUBLIC
SAFETY STOP GAP BUT INSTEAD
REVEALED THAT VIRTUAL MEETINGS
PROMOTE MEETING ATTENDANCE. BY
APPOINTED MEMBERS AND INCREASES
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION. OUR
COMMISSION AND THE EXPERIENCE OF
OTHER COMMISSIONS OVER THE PAST
THREE YEARS HAS DEMONSTRATED
THAT ALLOWING GREATER DIVERSITY
OF PARTICIPATION SUPPORTS THE
BEST OF OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS.
THE USE OF VIDEO TECHNOLOGY
SEEKS TO VALUE THE RIGHTS OF
RESIDENTS BY AFFORDING THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN
STATE GOVERNMENT DELIBERATIONS
AT ALL LEVELS. CONSIDERING THE
CHANGING DEMOGRAPHIC OF OUR
STATE WITH THE SIGNIFICANT
GROWTH OF OLDER ADULTS AND
ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES IT'S
NOT JUST IMPORTANT THAT WE
PROMOTE THEIR OPPORTUNITIES AND
ENGAGEMENT IT IS ESSENTIAL. THE
DISABILITY COMMUNITY HAS AN
EXPRESSION NOTHING WITHOUT US
NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US. OUR
CHAIR A FORMER ASSEMBLY MEMBER
CHERYL BRAUN SHE PUTS IT ANOTHER
WAY. IF YOU'RE NOT AT THE TABLE
YOUR ON THE MENU. SO WHATEVER
YOUR PHRASE. THE GENIE IS OUT OF
THE BOTTLE AND THE USE OF
TECHNOLOGY IS MAKING HOW WE MEET
TODAY DIFFERENT. SB FIVE FOUR
FOUR ALLOWS US TO INCREASE
TRANSPARENCY AND PROMOTE PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION IN STATE
GOVERNMENT BY EXPANDING THE POOL
OF CANDIDATES INTERESTED IN
SERVING. OLDER ADULTS AND
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
ARE NO LONGER BARRED FROM
ATTENDING MEETINGS ARE
PARTICIPATING IN STATE
GOVERNMENT SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY
ARE LIMITED FROM ATTENDING
PHYSICALLY. WITHOUT THE PASSAGE
OF SB FIVE FOUR FOUR OUR
COMMISSION WILL LOSE A VERY
IMPORTANT VOICE AS ONE OF OUR
COMMISSIONERS SINCE THE PANDEMIC
CAN NO LONGER TRAVEL
COMFORTABLY. I WHILE SHE HAS
CHANGED PHYSICALLY I ASSURE YOU
HER VOICE AND HER CONTRIBUTION
TO OUR EFFORT IS NO LESS STRONG
. SB FIVE FOUR FOUR IS A
COMMITMENT TO THE PEOPLE TO
VALUE EQUITY AND INCLUSION OVER
THE FEAR OF POTENTIAL BAD
CHARACTERS. FOR TRIES YOU WE AS
TRIES WE MIGHT WE HAVE NEVER
BEEN ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY
LEGISLATE BAD ACTORS FROM DOING
BAD THINGS. SO INSTEAD LET'S
FOCUS ON THE FACT THAT WE CAN
USE MODERNIZATION AND
TECHNOLOGY. STIPULATING CHANGES
TO THE BAGLEY KEENE ACT
PROMOTING EQUITY AND
PARTICIPATION OF THE PUBLIC
THROUGH VIRTUAL MEETINGS WHILE
SAFEGUARDING THE PRIVATE
RESIDENCE OF PARTICIPATING
MEMBERS OF THE STATE BODY. I
THANK YOU AND I ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU ARE NOT GOING TO
TELL- CHERYL BROWN THAT YOU GOT
IT YOU DID THAT YOU DID NOT
MENTION THE SILVER TSUNAMI
BECAUSE THAT WAS HER FAMOUS LINE
SHE USED UP TO FOUR MINUTES BUT
I'M IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY SO GO
AHEAD. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
I'LL BE BRIEF I MEET AMERICAN
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE YOU
HAVE TWO MINUTES IF YOU WANT
THANK YOU I MEAN THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE LITTLE HOOVER
COMMISSION. WHEN THE PANDEMIC
STRUCK WE BEGAN MEETING REMOTELY
UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S WAIVER WE
QUICKLY REALIZE THE ADVANTAGES
OF THIS TECHNOLOGY AND DECIDED
TO SURVEY OTHER STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS GOVERNED BY BAGLEY
KEEN TO SEE ABOUT THEIR
EXPERIENCES. OVERWHELMINGLY THEY
REPORTED MORE PUBLIC ATTENDANCE
MORE ATTENDANCE BY MEMBERS OF
THE BOARDS AND COMMISSION- AND
SAVING MONEY DUE TO REDUCE
TRAVEL COSTS AND REDUCE FACILITY
RENTAL. ACCORDINGLY WE ISSUED A
REPORT RECOMMENDING THE BAGLEY
KEENE BE A CHANGE TO FACILITATE
REMOTE PARTICIPATION BY MEMBERS
THE BOARDING COMMISSION. WE
BELIEVE AS HAS BEEN STATED THIS
BILL WILL MAKE CALIFORNIA STATE
GOVERNMENT MORE REPRESENTATIVE.
FOR MANY PEOPLE IT'S DIFFICULT
TO SERVE ON STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT
COME TO SACRAMENTO. I WANT TO
SAY THAT ARE COMMISSION CARES
DEEPLY ABOUT PUBLIC ACCESS WE
CURRENTLY. LIVE STREAM ALL
MEETINGS INCLUDING THOSE WHEN WE
MEET IN PERSON EVEN THOUGH
THERE'S NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO
DO SO. I CARE ABOUT PUBLIC
ACCESS DEEPLY FOR THE FIRST
FIFTEEN YEARS OF MY CAREER I WAS
A NEWSPAPER REPORTER I'VE BEEN
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS I'VE-
GONE HEAD TO HEAD WITH
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS ABOUT
PUBLIC ACCESS. WE BELIEVE THIS
BILL DOES NOTHING TO RESTRICT
PUBLIC ACCESS. PEOPLE CAN STILL
WATCH THE MEETINGS THEY CAN HEAR
EVERY WORD THAT HE SAID SEE
EVERY VOTE IS TAKEN. THEY STILL
HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE MEETINGS
VIA REMOTE TECHNOLOGY WHAT THIS
BILL WILL DO IS MAKE CALIFORNIA
STATE GOVERNMENT LOOK MORE LIKE
CALIFORNIA. BY EXPANDING THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CAN SERVE
ON THESE IMPORTANT STATE BOARDS
AND COMMISSIONS. AND ACCORDINGLY
WE WOULD ASK FOR YOUR IPHONE.
I'VE HEARD A RUMOR THAN BEING

TECHNOLOGY. AS NOTED BY THE
AUTHOR AND THE ANALYSIS THERE
ARE NUMEROUS BENEFICIAL USE
CASES OF AI INCLUDING DIAGNOSING
HEALTH CONDITIONS USED IN

MANAGEMENT AND MUCH MORE.
IMPORTANTLY THIS BILL WOULD

REGULATE THIS TECHNOLOGY. AS
THIS COMMITTEE IS AWARE THERE
ARE NUMEROUS STATE AGENCIES
APARTMENTS THAT ARE CURRENTLY
STUDYING REVIEWING OR ACTIVELY
REGULATING THIS TECHNOLOGY AND
MORE COMPREHENSIVE UNIFIED
APPROACH WOULD BE EXTREMELY
BENEFICIAL. THE BILL WOULD ALSO

MEMBERS SB SEVEN OH TWO REQUIRES
THE OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR TO
MAINTAIN ON ITS WEBSITE A LIST
OF ALL STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS INCLUDING THE
PURPOSE MEMBERSHIP LIST AND
INFORMATION ON WHEN THEY CONVENE
THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES AN ANNUAL
REPORT WITH AGGREGATE
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION OF
INDIVIDUALS APPOINTED TO THE
STATE'S BOARD THING COMMISSION.
THE ANNUAL REPORT WILL SERVE AS
A TOOL TO IDENTIFY GAPS IN
REPRESENTATION ENCOURAGE
OUTREACH TO COMMUNITY AND
ADDRESS BARRIERS TO SEEK AN
APPOINTMENT I HAVE REINTRODUCED
THIS BILL BECAUSE IT'S ESSENTIAL
TO GATHER FACTS TO HELP US
INSTITUTIONALIZE BEST PRACTICES
AND THE GAINS MADE TO DIVERSIFY
THE STATE'S BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS CALIFORNIA HAS X. AN
EXPRESSCARD IT MEANT IN STATUTE
TO ENSURE STATE BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS ARE DIVERSE AND
REFLECTIVE OF THE STATE. HOWEVER
NO FORMAL MECHANISM EXISTS TO
EVALUATE THIS FOR GUBERNATORIAL
BOARDS AND COMMISSION APPOINTEES
ADDITIONALLY THE REPORT IN SB
SEVEN OH TWO FOLLOWS PRESIDENT
AND STATE LAW THAT REQUIRES A
SIMILAR REPORT A JUDICIAL
APPOINTMENTS THE COLLECTION OF
GUBERNATORIAL APPOINTEE.
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA IS A CRITICAL
STEP TO ACHIEVE AND MAINTAIN
GENDER ETHNIC AND GEOGRAPHIC
EQUITY ON BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS- WITH US TODAY TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT THE BILL IS
HONDURAS. ON BEHALF OF THIS ALL
OF OUR SPONSORS ESPINAS ORGANIZE
FOR POLITICAL EQUALITY HOPE.
WHAT'S COULD PLEASE COME FORWARD
I DID DO ONE FOR THOSE OF YOU
ARE THERE ARE FOLLOWING ALONG AT
HOME. OR PERHAPS EVEN HERE WE
ARE NOW ON FILE ITEM NUMBER SIX
S. B. SEVEN OH TWO. JUST WANTED
TO MAKE THAT REMARK BECAUSE
WE'VE BEEN MOVING BACK AND FORTH
IN THE AGENDA SO PLEASE GOOD
MORNING WELCOME GOOD MORNING
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING CHAIRMAN
DIED IN COMMITTEE MEMBERS AS
STATED MY NAME IS HELEN TAURUS
CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
HISPANA AS ORGANIZED POLITICALLY
QUALITY ALSO KNOWN AS HOPE. AND
ALSO I JUST WAS A SIDE WANT TO
SAY BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO THIS COMMITTEE I'M
A FORMER COMMISSIONER ON THE
LITTLE HOOVER COMMITTEE. SO IF
ANYBODY NEEDS ANY HINTS ON HOW
TO GET ALONG THERE LET ME KNOW-
HOPE IS A NONPROFIT PROFIT
NONPARTISAN ORGANIZATION.
COMMITTED TO ENSURING THE
POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PARITY OF
LATINAS THROUGH LEADERSHIP
ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION TO
BENEFIT ALL COMMUNITIES AND
STATUS OF WOMEN. HOPE IS A PROUD
SPONSOR OF SB SEVEN OH TWO FOR
THE THIRD YEAR RUNNING. AND IS
GRATEFUL TO WORK WITH
CENTERVILLE MON ON THIS CRITICAL
TOPIC. SB SEVEN OH TWO SIX TO
CREATE TRANSPARENCY IN THE
GLOBAL TERREL TO APPOINTMENTS.
BUT REQUIRE REQUIRING AN ANNUAL
REPORT TO BE RELEASED SHARE THE
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA ALL
APPOINTMENTS MADE THE PREVIOUS
YEAR. THIS REPORT WHICH WOULD
WOULD INCLUDE A SELF REPORTED
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA. INCLUDING RACE
GENDER ETHNICITY ABILITY STATUS
SEXUAL ORIENTATION VETERAN
STATUS AND REGION. CURRENTLY
THROUGH THE APPOINTMENT PROCESS
RACE AND SEXUAL ORIENTATION ARE
NOT COLLECTED. HOWEVER WE LIKE
TO ENSURE NO EXCLUSIONS OF THE
PROCESS. I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE A
COUPLE QUICK THAT STATUS.
ACCORDING TO THE WILLIAM WITH
CITY OF UCLA ROUGHLY FIVE POINT
THREE OR A LITTLE OVER TWO
MILLION PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA.
ARE MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION THE
CENTER OF DISEASE DISEASE
CONTROL AND PREVENTION ALSO
PREDICTS THE ROUGHLY 23% OF
CALIFORNIANS. ARE ADULT.
POPULATION HAS A DISABILITY. IN
CALIFORNIA ALSO. PROBABLY OF ONE
EIGHT MILLION VETERANS.
ACCORDING TO THE TWENTY TWENTY
SENSES PROFILE OF CALIFORNIA
LATINOS HAVE THE LARGEST GROWTH
OF ANY POPULATION THE STATE. ONE
INTO CALIFORNIANS ARE WOMEN.
GOING TO UCLA POLICY POLITICS
INSTITUTE REPORT CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO
SEVENTY ONE POINT 3% OF THE
STATE POPULATION. THIS BILL
WOULD ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA'S
BOARDING COMMISSION'S REPORT
DATA HOPE REMAINS COMMITTED TO
ENSURING THE CALIFORNIA
GOVERNMENT IS GENERALLY
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RICH
DIVERSITY OF THE STATE. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT DIVERSITY IN
GOVERNMENT LEADS POLICIES THAT
ARE BETTER REFLECTIVE OF
INTEREST OF THOSE REPRESENTED BY
THE- COUNTRY'S MOST POPULOUS
RIVER STATE. SIMILAR SINCE TWO
THOUSAND SIX CALIFORNIA HAS
REQUIRED IS JUDICIAL COUNCIL TO
COLLECT A RELEASE AGGREGATED
DEMOGRAPHIC DATA ABOUT IT IN THE
CITY AND GENDER. SO THEREFORE
WE'RE NOT ALONE AND WE HAVE A
PRESIDENT'S TO FOLLOW ULTIMATELY
THIS ANNUAL REPORT WOULD BE
SIMILAR TO THE JUDICIARY REPORT
IF ENACTED THE DATA WILL BE A
TOOL TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT
DISPARITIES ARE AND RESPOND
RAPPRESENTA ATION. EXCESS AND
WHAT COMMUTERS INVOICES ARE
MISSING FROM THESE TABLES IT'S
TIME FOR CALIFORNIA TO CREATE A
FORMAL MECHANISM TO ENSURE IT IS
GOVERNOR'S REFLEXIS COMMUNITIES.
FOR THESE REASONS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE ON SB
SEVEN OH TWO TODAY THANK YOU.

FOURTEEN YOUR LINE IS OPEN. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS AMONG PLAYING
WITH THE L. A. LATINO POLICY AND
POLITICS THE CHILDREN WERE
INSTRUCTED PORT OF S. B. SEVEN
OH TWO THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE
HAVE ONE MORE HERE WILL GET A
LINE TWENTY NINE PLEASE GO AHEAD
. THANK YOU JOINT COMMITTEE
CALIFORNIA'S BUDGET WAS COMMERCE
IN SUPPORT. CURRENTLY MEN FOR
THEIR KIDS THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
WE'RE GONNA BRING THIS BACK TO
OUR MEMBERS TO ANY MEMBERS HAVE
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. AS WELL.
CENTER CENTER EARLY MONTH THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BACK- THIS
YEAR AND I JUST WANTED TO
COMMEND YOU FOR TAKING ANOTHER
SWING AT THIS EVEN THOUGH THE
GOVERNOR VETOED YOUR BILL LAST
YEAR- I WAS PRETTY DISAPPOINTED
WHEN I READ HIS RESPONSE IN
TERMS OF VETO IN THIS- BEING
THAT. WE AS CALIFORNIANS DEMAND
TRANSPARENCY IN HOW WE USE OUR
TAX DOLLARS AND CERTAINLY HOW WE
USE OUR POWER AND YOUR BILL FOR
ME REALLY TAKES US TO A PLACE
WHERE NOT ONLY CAN WE BE
ACCOUNTABLE FOR. AND HOW WE USE
A THIRTY AND REPRESENTATION ON
THESE APPOINTED BOARDS BUT HOW
ARE GOVERNOR HE USES HIS POWER
AND EXECUTIVE CONTROL. SO WHEN I
WAS READING HIS RESPONSE- PART
OF IT TALKED ABOUT POTENTIAL
COSTS AND- I THINK ABOUT.
CURRENTLY EVERY CHILD IN PUBLIC
SCHOOL THEIR PARENT IS REQUIRED
TO REPORT ON DEMOGRAPHICS BEFORE
US SCHOOL CAN GET EVEN FUNDING
FOR THAT CHILD SO IT IS POSSIBLE
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR DECADES
AND WE'VE BEEN DOING IT. I'M
QUITE QUITE WELL- SO I WOULD I
WOULD- I WOULD CHALLENGE THAT
NUMBER THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE IS PUT FORWARD. AND THE
LAST THING THAT REALLY SHOCKED
ME WAS THE COMMENT ABOUT-
INACCURACY OF SELF REPORTED-
DEMOGRAPHICS. AND THAT ACTUALLY
OCCURS TO ME THAT WE ARE SAYING
THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN BE
INACCURATE ABOUT HOW THEY SELF
IDENTIFY THEIR OWN DEMOGRAPHICS-
AND THAT IS ACTUALLY IMPRINT. SO
FOR ME I FEEL THAT ANY CANDIDATE
THAT IS APPOINTED TO BOARDS AND
COMMISSIONS BY OUR GOVERNOR. IS
A HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL QUALIFIED
EDUCATED EXPERT OR AT LEAST
SHOULD BE OF WHAT THEY'RE
APPOINTED AND THEY SHOULD BE
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SELF
IDENTIFY THEIR DEMOGRAPHICS
WITHOUT AN ASSUMPTION THAT THEY
WOULD BE INEPT AT DOING SO. SO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BACK
AND I ENCOURAGE THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE TO RE LOOK AT YOUR BILL-
BEING THAT THE STATE LEGISLATURE
IN BOTH HOUSES BOTH HOUSES
APPROVED IT AND MOVED IT FORWARD
THANK YOU THANK YOU. CENTER
ARCHULETA YES THANK YOU CENTER
FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD
OBVIOUSLY I THINK THE BASIS OF
THIS BILL IS EQUITY. AND HOW CAN
WE FIND THAT EQUITY IF WE DON'T
HAVE THE DATA. AND I THINK
EVERYONE ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA KNOWS THAT THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA IS A DIVERSE-
INCLUSIVE STATE AND WE TRY TO
GREET EVERYONE AND I THINK IF
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THAT LEAP
FORWARD. THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO
DO IT SO WE CAN ALL LOOK EVERY
SINGLE DAY AND SEE HOW DIVERSITY
IS- MOVING FORWARD. TO INCLUDE
EVERYONE SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
BILL AND I WILL SUPPORT IT NOW
MOVE IT WHEN IT'S READY. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU SENATOR
WILL. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
I'VE SUPPORTED THIS BEFORE I'M A
PLAN SUPPORTED AGAIN SOMETHING I
WANTED TO POINT OUT BECAUSE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DIVERSITY
ALL THE TIME IT WASN'T MENTIONED
BUT IN THIS SPEAKERS BUT ONE OF
THE OTHER CRITERIA IT THAT'S IN
THERE WHICH I APPRECIATE HIS
PARTY REGISTRATION. BECAUSE I AM
DEFINITELY A MINORITY IN THE
STATE BEING A REGISTERED
REPUBLICAN. AND THERE IS A
REASON WHY I BRING THAT UP IS I
SPENT MOST OF MY CAREER IN THE
SENATE ON RULES COMMITTEE MORE
RESPONSIBLE FOR VETTING-
GUBERNATORIAL POINT. UP OF
APPOINTEES. AND I THINK THE
PRIOR REGISTER THE PRIOR
ADMINISTRATION DID A MUCH.
BETTER JOB IN TRYING TO GET
DIVERSIFIED POLITICAL VIEWS ON
COMMISSIONS. THEN THE THEN THE
CURRENT ADMINISTRATION SO I'M
GLAD THAT THAT'S IN THERE. I
THINK THIS DATA THAT EVERYBODY
SHOULD HAVE IN THE- WE SHOULD BE
TRANSPARENT. IN EVERYTHING THAT
WE DO SO I SUPPORT IN THE PAST
PLAN SUPPORTED TODAY AND BETTER
LUCK THIS YEAR THANK YOU.

FEEL FREE TO BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE

CHAIRMAN MEMBERS IT IS NO SECRET
THAT CALIFORNIA IS IN THE MIDST
OF A HOUSING CRISIS EVEN THOUGH
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BELIEVES
THAT THE STATE NEEDS AT LEAST
SEVENTY THOUSAND AFFORDABLE
UNITS ANNUALLY TO KEEP UP WITH
THE DEMAND CALIFORNIA PRODUCE
ROUGHLY NINETEEN THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED NEW AFFORDABLE UNITS
LAST YEAR. THE LACK OF NEW
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT HAS
CONTINUED TO INCREASE THE COST
OF HOUSING IN CALIFORNIA TO THE
POINT THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF
HOUSING UNITS ARE NO LONGER
AFFORDABLE TO THE AVERAGE
PERSON. ACCORDING TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THE MEDIAN
PRICE OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME
PEAKED IN MAY OF TWENTY TWENTY
TWO AT EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINETY
EIGHT THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY DOLLARS. SO FOR THIS A
FAMILY WOULD NEED A COMBINED
INCOME OF A HUNDRED EIGHTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE THAN TWICE
THE CALIFORNIA'S MEDIAN
HOUSEHOLD INCOME AND ALMOST FIVE
TIMES THE CALIFORNIA POVERTY
MEASURES POVERTY LINE OF. THIRTY
SIX THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED.

BOTH COULD YOU MOVE THAT MIKE UP
SO IT'S AN- TO BE PEOPLE CAN'T
HEAR YOU APPARENTLY ONLINE WAY.
YOUR GOOD IS BETTER. ARE WE GET
. DO I NEED TO START SO YOU ONLY
A START OKAY JUST CONTINUE WE
WERE SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION
NO NO WORRIES. OKAY. KERN
SURPLUS PROPERTY DISPOSAL LAWS
PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT OF
GENERAL SERVICES IS AUTHORIZED
TO SELL STATE SURPLUS PROPERTY
TO A LOCAL AGENCY OR NONPROFIT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SPONSOR. FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS
BELOW MARKET VALUE IF DGS
DETERMINES THAT SUCH A DISCOUNT
IS NECESSARY TO FINANCE A
HOUSING PROJECT AND THAT. THE
HOUSING WILL REMAIN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR AT LEAST FORTY YEARS
. HOWEVER BUYERS RARELY INVOKED
THIS OPTION IN FACT ACCORDING TO
D. G. S. NONE OF THE SURPLUS
PROPERTY SOLD TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS OR NONPROFITS FROM
TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHTEEN. TO
TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY TO WORK
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING PURPOSES.
SB TWO FORTY WILL FURTHER

CENTER DODD TIGHT HOUSE
EXCEPTIONS. THANK YOU THE SHERIN
MEMBERS. SB FOUR THIRTY PROVIDES
A LIMITED TYPE HOUSE EXAM SHOULD
. EXCEPTION EXCUSE ME TO THE
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS UNDER
COMMON OWNERSHIP WITH AN ALCOHOL
BEVERAGE RETAIL BUSINESS.
ACCORDING TO DEPARTMENT OF ABC
IF A COMPANY OWNS A SUBSIDIARY
THAT HOLDS OF ALCOHOL RETAIL
LICENSE THAN ALL OTHER
SUBSIDIARIES ARE PROHIBITED BY
TIED HOUSE LAWS FROM SELLING
ADVERTISING SPACE TO THE UP- TO
AN ALCOHOL MANUFACTURE. THIS
BROAD PROHIBITION IS
PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC WOULD
ONE OF THOSE SUBSIDIARIES IS AN
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS THAT
DERIVES REVENUE FROM ADVERTISING
. SB FOUR THIRTY IS A NARROW
PROPOSAL SIMILAR TO OTHERS THAT
THIS COMMITTEE HAS UNANIMOUSLY
APPROVED IN INCLUDES. VARIOUS
PROVISIONS THAT HAVE BECOME
STANDARD IN TIGHT AUS
ADVERTISING EXEMPTIONS BILLS. WE
ALREADY HAVE TAKEN A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS REQUESTED BY THE
OPPOSITION AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THEM IS THIS BILL BILL
MOVES THROUGH THE PROCESS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK DR BOOK. I WITH
ME TOO TODAY IS GUY KELLY JO
MCARTHUR VICE PRESIDENT AND
ASSOCIATE GENERAL COUNSEL GLOBAL
MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT AT
AMAZON. IT ALSO WILL HAVE
STEPHANIE MEYER SENIOR COUNSEL
ALCOHOL POLICY AT AMAZON TO
ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
THAT THERE ANY REMINDER. EACH
SPEAKER HAS TWO MINUTES.
ROCK'N'ROLL GOOD MORNING
CHAIRMAN DOT IN THE STEAM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
KELLY JIM MCARTHUR I AM THE VICE
PRESIDENT AND GENERAL COUNSEL
FOR AMAZON'S MEDIA AND
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES. I AM
BEFORE YOU TODAY IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BEFORE THIRTY AND NARROW
TIED HOUSE EXCEPTION. THAT WILL
ALLOW ALCOHOL BEVERAGE
MANUFACTURERS ADVERTISE WITH OUR
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES. ARE
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES ARE
PROUD TO HAVE INVESTED
SIGNIFICANTLY IN CALIFORNIA
WHICH IS HOME TO AMAZON STUDIOS
PRIME VIDEO AND MGM STUDIOS.
OKAY AMAZON IS ALSO PROUD TO OWN
AND OPERATE A WHOLE FOODS MARKET
WHICH IS AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
RETAILER WITH NINETY SIX
LOCATIONS IN THE STATE. WHOLE
FOODS MARKET ENTERTAINMENT
BUSINESSES. OPERATE UNDER THE
SAME PUBLICLY TRADED PARENT
COMPANY AND BECAUSE OF THIS
CONNECTION THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
CONTROL INFORMED US THE TIED
HOUSE LAWS. PREVENT OUR
ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESSES FROM
DISPLAYING ALCOHOLIC
ADVERTISEMENTS. PROPOSALS WERE
WRITTEN TO APPLY TO ALCOHOL
RETAILERS NOT VIDEO AND
STREAMING MEDIA PROVIDERS. ARE
ADVERTISING BUSINESSES DO NOT
ENGAGE IN THE SALE OF ALCOHOL
AND DO NOT HAVE ANY INFLUENCE
OVER. OR CONTROL OVER AMAZON'S
ALCOHOL RETAIL BUSINESSES. SB
FOUR THIRTY IS A NARROW PROPOSAL
SIMILAR TO OTHERS THE LEGISLATOR
IN THIS COMMITTEE HAS APPROVED
FOR ALCOHOLIC ADVERTISING. THE
BILL CONTAINS SAFEGUARDS TO
PREVENT ALCOHOL MANUFACTURERS
FROM EXERTING INFLUENCE OVER
ALCOHOL RETAIL BUSINESSES. AND
THOSE SAFEGUARDS ARE INTENDED
AND WILL PROTECT THE THREE TIER
SYSTEM AND ALIGNED WITH THE
SPIRIT OF THE TIED HOUSE
RESTRICTIONS. SB FOUR THIRTY
WILL ALLOW OUR ENTERTAINMENT
BUSINESSES TO ERROR ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGE ADVERTISEMENTS. IN A
MANNER CONSISTENT WITH SIMILARLY
SITUATED ENTERTAINMENT COMPANIES
SO FOR EXAMPLE PRIME VIDEO WILL
BE ABLE TO DISPLAY. ALCOHOL
ADVERTISEMENTS DURING THURSDAY
NIGHT FOOTBALL. MGM STUDIOS WILL
BE ABLE TO ACCEPT PRODUCT
PLACEMENTS LIKE A BRANDED VODKA
OR GIN MARTINI OR IF YOU'RE A
REAL FAN MAYBE A BRANDED VESPER
MARTINI. IN A JAMES BOND FILM.

THIRTY AND RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR

RUBIO SEYARTO HI ZERO I. SO
THAT'S SEVEN NEED EIGHT TO GET
IT OUT AND AGAIN I SHOULD
MENTION THIS BUT IT WAS DUE PASS
TO APPROACH. TO APPROPRIATIONS
VERY GOOD WITH THAT I'M SO WE
WERE MOVING TO FILE ITEM NUMBER
FOURTEEN YES SIR WHICH IS S. B.
FOUR NINETY FIVE HAVING TO DO
WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
DELIVERIES. YES I AM MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS S. B. FOUR NINETY
FIVE SEEKS TO DO TWO MAJOR
THINGS. THE FIRST IS TO EXPAND
ON. TO EXPAND OUR COCKTAILS TO
GO BY ADDING BARS TO THOSE
PROVISIONS REMOVING THE MEAL
REQUIREMENT AND ALLOWING FOR THE
DELIVERY OF COCKTAILS DIRECTLY
TO A CUSTOMER'S DOOR. WITH THOSE
CHANGES SB FOUR NINETY FIVE
WOULD BE IDENTICAL TO MY S. B.
FOUR EIGHT FORTY SIX FROM LAST
YEAR WHICH WAS UNANIMOUSLY
PASSED. BY THIS COMMITTEE. THE
ABILITY TO INCLUDE ALCOHOLIC
DRINKS HAS BEEN A LIFELINE TO
OUR RESTAURANT INDUSTRY DURING
COVERT NINETEEN. THIS BILL
SIMPLY SEEKS TO CONTINUE ON ONE
OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL ELEMENTS
OF THE EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
PANDEMIC RELIEF. IN ADDITION THE
BILL REQUIRES THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES WHO ARE
DELIVERING ALCOHOL BEHALF OF
ALCOHOL LICENSEE TO OBTAIN A
PERMIT FROM THE DEPARTMENT BABY
SEAT. AS YOU NELSON'S POINTS OUT
UNDER CURRENT LAW ABC HAS NO
STATUTORY OVERSIGHT. OVER THIRD
PARTY DELIVERY COMPANY IS A
DELIVER ALCOHOL I'M GONNA REPEAT
THAT. AS THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT
UNDER CURRENT LAW ABC HAS NO
STATUTORY OVERSIGHT OVER THIRD
PARTY DELIVERY COMPANIES TO
DELIVER ALCOHOL. THE DEPARTMENT
HAS BEEN VERY CLEAR THAT HE
CANNOT SANCTION THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES AND THEREFORE
RESPONSIBILITY THE ANY POTENTIAL
CRIMINAL LIABILITY IS WITH THE
DRIVER AND THE LICENSEE THAT
SOLD THAT I'LL CALL. SB FOUR
NINETY FIVE SOLVES THE PROBLEM
BY SHIFTING SOME RESPONSIBILITY
TO THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
COMPANIES IN PROVIDING ABC WITH
OVERSIGHT ON THOSE ALCOHOL
DELIVERS. I WANT TO BE VERY
CLEAR THAT THIS DOES NOT
LEGALIZE THE DELIVERY OF ALCOHOL
BY THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
COMPANIES BY EITHER GROCERY
STORES OR EVEN RESTAURANTS. AS
THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT CURRENT
LAW ALREADY ALLOWS ALL TYPES OF
ALCOHOL TO BE DELIVERED BY THIRD
PARTY DELIVERY COMPANIES ON
BEHALF OF GROCERY STORES IN THE
BUILDING THESE COMPANIES TO
DELIVER WINE AND BEER ON BEHALF
RESTAURANTS. WHAT THIS BILL DOES
IS PROVIDE A COMMON SENSE
APPROACH TO GIVE EBC THE
NECESSARY OVERSIGHT TO ENSURE
THE DELIVERIES ARE BEING DONE IN
A RESPONSIBLE MANNER THE
PROTECTS AGAINST UNDER AGE
DRINKING. IN OVER INTOXICATION.
SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL REQUIRES
DELIVERY DRIVERS WHO ARE
DELIVERING ALCOHOL TO COMPLETE A
TRAINING IT MAKES IT CLEAR THAT
ABC CAN SUSPEND REVOKE. A
CONSUMER DELIVERY SERVICE PERMIT
WHEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT
SUCH DISCIPLINE IN IT AUTHORIZES
ABC TO IMPOSE FINES ON THE
HOLDER OF THE PERMIT. NOT ON THE
DELIVERY DRIVERS. I WANT TO BE
CLEAR THE BILL DOES NOT
AUTHORIZE A. B. C. TO FIND
DELIVERY DRIVERS PAGE TWENTY SIX
LINE EIGHTEEN MAKES IT CLEAR
THAT THESE FILES WOULD BE GETS
THE HOLDER OF THE PERMIT. THIS
IS SIMILAR TO HOW AN EMPLOYEE AT
A RESTAURANT IS NOT THE ENTITY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINE. I
WOULD LIKE TO IN MY COMMENTS
WITH THE FOLLOWING I UNDERSTAND
LABOUR'S CONCERN IN OPPOSITION
TO THIRD PARTY DELIVERY
COMPANIES. HOWEVER THE REALITY
IS THAT RIGHT NOW UNDER CURRENT
LAW. ALCOHOL DELIVERY BY A THIRD
PARTY DELIVERY COMPANY IS
COMPLETELY LEGAL. WITH OR
WITHOUT THIS BILL THAT WILL
CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THE QUESTION
FOR THIS COMMITTEE IS NOT
WHETHER TO LEGALIZE ALCOHOL
DELIVERY BUT WHETHER THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES SHOULD TAKE
SOME RESPONSIBILITY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
WITH ME TODAY ARE IS- MATT
SUTTON OF THE CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION AND DEAN
GRIFFEY LOW WITH THE CALIFORNIA
RETAILERS ASSOCIATION. WELCOME
MR SUTTON. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR CENTERS COULD SEE YOU-
FANTASTIC AUTHOR GREAT BILL.
SOME OF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS BILL
BEFORE AS A SENATOR MENTIONED-
THIS BILL RESTORES AND ABILITY-
THAT WAS PROVIDED IT WITH
THROUGH EMERGENCY REGULATIONS
DURING THE PANDEMIC- THE
COCKTAIL PIECE HAS SINCE EXPIRED
AND SO WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE
HOPING TO DO HERE. IS JUST TO
HAVE COCKTAILS ADDED TO THE MIX
OF BEER AND WINE ENJOY THIS
PRIVILEGE NOW- THE DIFFERENCE
WITH THE EMERGENCY REGULATION
THAT ALLOWED THIS IS THAT
SENATOR DODD'S BILL ACTUALLY
ADDS PUBLIC SAFETY GUARDRAILS.
HE MENTIONED THAT HE REITERATED
THAT AS WELL SO I THINK THAT'S
THE IMPORTANT POINT HERE- AND
WE'RE IN SUPPORT OF THIS OF
COURSE WE PREFER TO HAVE- GAS IN
RESTAURANTS- ENJOY RESTAURANTS
BUT WE'RE TO. RESPONDING TO
CHANGING CONSUMER DEMANDS AFTER
THE PANDEMIC WHERE GUESTS- HAVE
HAVE COME TO EXPECT THIS THEY DO
IT FOR BEER AND WINE IN THE
QUESTION MY COCKTAILS CAN'T. BE
OFFERED AS WELL SO WITH THAT
WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO SEE THE
ADDED PUBLIC SAFETY GUARDRAILS-
IN THE BILL AGAIN THAT GOES
BEYOND THE EMERGENCY
REGULATIONS. SO WE'RE IN STRONG
SUPPORT THANK YOU GREAT THANK
YOU. WELCOME MISTER VICE CHAIR
SENATORS FEEL ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA RETAILERS ASSOCIATION
WE'RE IN SUPPORT OF S. BEFORE
NINE FIVE CENTER DODD PRESHEAF
CONTINUED LEADERSHIP ON THIS
MATTER. SB NOT AS MANY AS
MENTIONED AS BEFORE NINE FIVE
ADDRESSES A LOOPHOLE REGARDING
THIRD PARTY DELIVERY OF ALCOHOL.
MAKE NO MISTAKE THE RETAILER'S
ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE. AND
WELCOME THE CONTINUED
PARTNERSHIP IN CAT COLLABORATION
THAT WE HAVE WITH THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES. AS TO OUR
CUSTOMERS HOWEVER THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES ARE NOT
CURRENTLY LICENSED BY THE P. C.
AS MENTIONED. SO IF THERE IS A
DELIVERY TO A MINOR WHICH RARELY
OCCURS. THE ABC HAS NO RECOURSE
ON THE DELIVERY COMPANY. INSTEAD
THE RETAILER GET CITED. ESPINO
SB FOUR NINE FIVE CLOSE THIS
LOOPHOLE BY REQUIRING DELIVERY
COMPANIES TO OBTAIN A PERMIT
FROM THE ABC. WHICH WILL THEN
PROVIDE THE MEANS TO ENFORCE IN
THESE RARE INSTANCES. THANK YOU
AND RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL WHEN
APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU SIR.
ANYBODY ELSE HERE IN SUPPORT.
NAME ORGANIZATION POSITION A TIM
SMALLER ONES STUDENTS SUPPORT
STRUCTURE FOR JUST SUPPORT
STRONG SUPPORT THANK YOU. MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS GAVIN THE QUEUE
ON BEHALF OF THE DISTILLED
SPIRITS COUNCIL WE SUPPORT WE
THINK THIS PROVIDE SOME
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR THIS
DELIVERY PROCESS THANK YOU THANK
YOU SIR. ANYONE ELSE SEEING NONE
THERE WILL MOVE TO OPPOSITION IS
THERE ANY OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM
. GIVE ME TWO MINUTES IF YOU
LIKE IT. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN.
SO GRACIOUS THIS MORNING
APPRECIATE IT. SENATOR DODD-
SHOULD VERY MUCH OF THE WORK IN
THIS AREA WE'VE WORKED I'M ABOUT
TO TAKE ON THE UP THE UNITED
FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS- WE
FOCUS BUT THE WITH THE SENATOR
WITH THE AUTHOR OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS IN VERY MUCH IN
GOOD FAITH PROJECT EFFORT. ARE
YOU SEE W. SHOWS THE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE FACT THAT THIS IS A
COMPLETELY UNREGULATED SPACE NOW
ON THE DELIVERIES ARE HAPPENING
. WE JUST HAVE CONCERNS AND
UNFORTUNATELY REMAIN OPPOSED.
FIRST AND FOREMOST- THE ISSUE
OF. RESPONSIBILITY THE BILL IF
WE IF LEGISLATION IS ENACTED. ON
THIS BILL. BASICALLY THE
LIABILITY RESPONSIBILITY CAN
REST ON THE DRIVER'S. WE THINK
IT'S MUCH BETTER SUITED- THE
DELIVERIES HAPPEN UNDER EMPLOYER
EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIP. THAT'S
HOW THAT'S HOW DELIVERIES ARE
HANDLING CANNABIS BY REGULATION
WE THINK THAT'S SHOULD BE THE
SAME APPROACH HERE. TO ENSURE
THAT THERE IS LIABILITIES
COVERED BY SOMEONE OTHER DRIVER
THE SECOND THING THAT WE'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE DELIVERY
TO MINORS. UNDER CURRENT LAW THE
BRICK AND MORTAR. STORE HAS A
THREE STRIKES AND YOU'RE OUT
PROVISION IN LAW. FOR A SALES TO
MINORS THAT'S NOT IN THE STATUTE
IN THIS PROPOSED A BILL. WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE SOME
COMPLEXITIES WITH THAT APPROACH.
BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL
STATEWIDE DELIVERY OF- ALCOHOL
BY ONE DELIVERY COMPANY WE'VE
TRIED TO. TO REACH SOME KIND OF
RESOLUTION WITH THAT BUT IT'S
RICH IT'S PROVED TO BE.
INSURMOUNTABLE AT THIS POINT.
FOR THOSE REASONS WE REMAIN
OPPOSED TO THE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR. MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS GOT IT SIR FLOCKS
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION AND
WE VERY MUCH SHARED THAT THAT
CONCERN OF THE AUTHOR- AND
APPRECIATE HIS INTENT TO
REGULATE THESE THIRD PARTY
DELIVERY COMPANIES. OUR CONCERN
IS THAT THIS IS A BILL THAT IS
LEGITIMIZING THIS MODEL ALLOWING
A PERMIT BUT NOT HAVING
SUFFICIENT GUARDRAILS TO PROTECT
AROUND THE ABUSES THAT THIS
BUSINESS MODEL ALLOWS AND THE
RISKS TO THE PUBLIC AND WORKERS.
THESE ARE COMPANIES LIKE UBER
GRUBHUB DOOR DASH SIP C. SAUCY
DRIZZLY WHO USE MISCLASSIFIED
DRIVERS AS INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS THEY DO NOT HAVE THE
SAME CONTROL OVER EMPLOYEE
DRIVERS. AND THEY HAVE A HISTORY
OF BASICALLY SAYING THOSE ARE
INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES THIRD
PARTIES WE DON'T HAVE ANY KIND
OF LIABILITY AMAZON HAS DONE
THIS UBER HAS DONE THIS DEBATE
ACTUALLY INSULATE THEMSELVES
FROM ANY KIND OF LIABILITY. AND
PUSH THAT ON TO DRIVERS EVEN IF
THIS DOES PROTECT AGAINST SPINES
WHICH WE APPRECIATE THAT THAT'S
IN THERE- THERE'S ALSO THIS
BUSINESS MODEL OF INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS CREATES AN INCENTIVE
TO VIOLATE THE LAW BY DRIVERS
THEY'RE NOT PAID HOURLY. THERE
GET COMMISSIONS THEY GET TIPS
THEY HAVE TO WORK FAST THEY GET
REVIEWS SO THEY CAN GET REPEAT
BUSINESS SO THERE'S AN INCENTIVE
NOT TO REFUSE AN ALCOHOL
DELIVERY AND TO CULTIVATE A BASE
OF CUSTOMERS AND THERE'S NOT THE
SAME LEVEL OF CONTROL WARD THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AN EMPLOYER
AND EMPLOYEE- WE ALSO HAVE
CONCERNS THAT. COMPANIES LIKE
UBER AND LIFT HAVE BASICALLY
VIOLATED LAWS AND THEN WORK TO
GET A LEGIT LEGITIMATED OUR
BUSINESS MODEL IN THE LOCK WE
DIDN'T HAVE TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK COMPANIES BEFORE THEY
WERE ABLE TO GET THAT INTO THE
CODE- AND SO WE HAVE CONCERNS WE
SHARE THE AUTHORS CONCERNS.
ABOUT THIRD PARTY- DELIVERY
COMPANIES FOR ALCOHOL BUT WE DO
THINK THERE'S NEEDS TO BE MUCH
STRONGER GUARDRAILS AND AN
EMPLOYEE EMPLOYER RELATIONSHIP
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY OTHER
SHARE IN THE ROOM IN OPPOSITION
NAME ORGANIZATION POSITION.
MICHAEL SKIP ON BEHALF OF
ALCOHOL JUSTICE AND THE
CALIFORNIA ALCOHOL POLICY

GO DO- PAGE- I DON'T KNOW OKAY
PAGE TWENTY SIX- LINE THIRTY. US
SUBSECTION TO THE PERMIT HOLDER
OR LICENSEE SHALL NOT PASS ANY
OF THESE FIGHTS ON TO DELIVERY
DRIVERS. SO I WOULD SUGGEST
