CHAIRS SENATOR- STAFF MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC IT IS WITH A
COMMITMENT TO LOVE RESPECT AND
HUMANITY THAT I'VE INTRODUCED SB
FOUR THREE TO AND CASTE
DISCRIMINATION. LAST YEAR
NOVEMBER IN ORIENTATION AS A
STATE SENATOR I ASKED STAFF HOW
CAN I GET STARTED WORKING ON AN
ANTI DISCRIMINATION BILL
REGARDING CAST. TODAY THIS BILLS
BEFORE YOU IN THE FORM OF SB
FOUR THREE. DESPITE DATING BACK
OVER SEVERAL THOUSAND YEARS OLD
CASTE SYSTEMS ARE NOT WIDELY
UNDERSTOOD. YET WE DON'T NEED
ANOTHER THOUSAND YEARS TO THE
SITE AND THIS FORM OF
DISCRIMINATION. WE WILL DECIDE
THAT TODAY. THIS IS NOT JUST THE
TECH ISSUE THIS IS A HUMAN
RIGHTS ISSUE. CASTE
DISCRIMINATION AND DANGERS
CALIFORNIA INDUSTRIES FROM
AGRICULTURE MANUFACTURING
FINANCE RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT
DOMESTIC WORK MEDICAL LEGAL AND
TECH FIELDS. CAST MANIFESTS AS
HOUSING DISCRIMINATION. UNFAIR
HIRING PRACTICES HUMAN
TRAFFICKING WORKPLACE BULLYING
AND HARASSMENT GENDER BASED
VIOLENCE. RAPE AND MURDER. IN
FACT I RECEIVED THREATS FOR MY
EFFORTS ON THIS BILL TO END
CASTE DISCRIMINATION INCLUDING
DEATH THREATS. THERE SIMPLY IS
NO PLACE IN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS
TYPE OF DISCRIMINATION. A FAMOUS
CISCO CASE REFERENCE BY SO MANY
OR THE GOOGLE CASE OR THE CSU
CASE OR THE BERKELEY CASE OR THE
MANY OTHER CASES THAT HAVE GONE
UNDER THE RADAR. MUST NOT BE
DISMISSED. IN FACT CISCO THE CSU
SYSTEM HARVARD SEATTLE AND THE
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE
ADOPTED EXPLICIT LANGUAGE TO AND
CASTE DISCRIMINATION. ALL OF YOU
HAVE RECEIVED THOUSANDS OF
MESSAGES REGARDING THIS BILL. WE
HAD A NERVE. EXPOSED A FORM OF
DISCRIMINATION THAT MAY NEVER
THAT MANY NEVER EVEN KNEW
EXISTED. THE THOUSANDS OF
MESSAGES CLEARLY SHOW THAT THERE
IS A PROBLEM. IN FACT THE UNITED
NATIONS SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR ON
CONTEMPORARY FORMS OF RACISM
RACIAL DISCRIMINATION XENOPHOBIA
AND RELATED INTOLERANCE ACTUALLY
NEED KP WROTE TO THIS BODY IN
SUPPORT OF S. BEFORE THREE. TO
AND CASTE DISCRIMINATION. DR
CORNEL WEST HAS WRITTEN IN
FERVENT SUPPORT AS WELL AS
THOUSANDS OF OTHERS. THIS BILL
HAS BUILT A COALITION OF
POWERFUL SUPPORTERS ACROSS SO
MANY SECTORS SIMPLY BECAUSE CAST
IS A SIMPLE RACIAL GENDER
WORKERS WOMEN'S AND HUMAN.
RIGHTS ISSUE. THIS IS WHY
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE AMERICAN
CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION. AT
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION AND
DOUBLE ACP THAT THE ME TOO
MOVEMENT BEND THE ARC OF PAULA
ALPHABET WORKERS UNION STOP API
HATE V. DAY THE SOUTH ASIAN BAR
OF AMERICA AND MANY MORE HAVE
VOCALIZED THEIR SUPPORT. FOR SB
FOUR THREE INCLUDING INTO SEEK
MUSLIM CHRISTIAN JEWISH JANE AND
MORE. SB FOUR THREE GOES BEYOND
PARTISANSHIP AND POLARIZED
DIVIDES. NOW THAT WE ARE
BEGINNING TO COMPREHEND THE
NUANCES OF CAST WE HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO REMEDY THE
SEVERITY OF ITS IMPACT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. TO ME CAST IS AN
INVISIBLE SHACKLES. PLACED ON
PEOPLE AT BIRTH. WE HAVE NO WAY
TO ESCAPE THIS TYPE OF BONDAGE
NO EDUCATION MARRIAGE WEALTH
YEARS OR EVEN GENERATIONS WILL
ALLOW THEM TO SKATE. THOSE OF US
WHO ARE NOT RAISED IN THE BOTTOM
OVER CASTE SYSTEMS CAN'T
POSSIBLY KNOW OR UNDERSTAND WHAT
IT DOES TO ONE PSYCHE. CREATING
INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA THAT
SPANNED CENTURIES. THOSE WHO
WERE RAISED IN THE LONG SHADOWS
OF CASTE SYSTEMS SUFFER IN
SILENCE DUE TO STIGMA. AND FEAR
OF NOT BEING UNDERSTOOD. TODAY
IS THE TIME FOR HEALING AND
AGENCY. EVERY STEP FORWARD IN
CIVIL RIGHTS WAS MET WITH
RESISTANCE FOR CHANGE. I STAND
BEFORE YOU AS A PROUD AMERICAN.
ONE WHO BELIEVES IN DEFENDS AND
PROTECTS THE AMERICAN DREAM
WHERE NO MATTER WHERE YOU'RE
FROM. WHAT RELIGION YOU PRACTICE
WHO YOU LOVE OR WHAT BACKGROUND
YOU HAVE YOU ARE GUARANTEED TO
BE ABLE TO LEAVE YOUR FULL
POTENTIAL HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
HAS SHOWN A COMMITMENT TO
INCLUSION TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
TODAY WE SEE A NEED TO
STRENGTHEN THOSE COMMITMENTS AND
ENSURE THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE
PROTECTED UNDER THE LAW. AND
CLARIFIED THAT DISCRIMINATION
BASED ON CASTE IS UNACCEPTABLE
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THAT IS WHY
I STAND HERE NOW WITH THE WORLD
WATCHING AS CALIFORNIA ONCE
AGAIN COMMITS TO PROTECTING THE
MOST VULNERABLE. AND BALANCING
POWER. MUCH LIKE THE NATION
RALLIED IN TWENTY TWENTY TO
DRESS THE SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY
INEQUITIES THAT CONTINUE TO
PERPETUATE DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST BLACK COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
THERE IS A SIMILAR RECKONING TO
DESTROY THE WHEEL OF POWER AND
PRIVILEGE PERPETUATED BY CASTE
SYSTEMS. I WANT TO DISPEL THE
FALSE RHETORIC BY OPPOSITION.
THIS BILL DOES NOT TARGET ANY
SPECIFIC COMMUNITY. IT DOES NOT
TARGET A SPECIFIC RELIGION. NOR
DOES IT CREATE MORE HARM THIS
BILL SIMPLY PROTECTS PEOPLE FROM
DISCRIMINATION AND ALLOWS PEOPLE
TO KNOW THEY ARE PROTECTED UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW. AT THE END OF
THE DAY SB FOUR OH THREE IS
TRULY. A SIMPLE BILL. BECAUSE IT
SIMPLY AIMS TO AFFIRM THAT
CASTERS COMMISSION CALIFORNIA
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
CLARIFYING THIS AS IT RELATES TO
CAST DISCRIMINATION UNDER OUR
FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING
OPPORTUNITY ACT AND THE UNRUH
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT DEFINES THE
WORD CASS AND FOLLOWS THE CIVIL
RIGHTS DEPARTMENTS OF STORY. FOR
ENFORCEMENT OF THESE VIOLATIONS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN PLACE.
CASTE DISCRIMINATION IS WRONG
AND THE PEOPLE EXPERIENCING IT
DESERVE ALL THE SUPPORT OF
PROTECTIONS WE OFFER TO THE
ALREADY PROTECTED
CHARACTERISTICS. IN OUR ANTI
DISCRIMINATION LAWS. FINALLY THE
DITION OF CASS WILL CREATE
GREATER ACCESSIBILITY OF
RESOURCES AND SENSITIVITY FOR
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC ABUSE IN
INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE WERE
ALSO SUBJECTED TO CASTE
DISCRIMINATION. THIS IS WHAT THE
GOLDEN STATE STANDS FOR AND I
URGE YOU ALL NOT TO FEEL
PRESSURED BY OPPOSITION. BUT
INSTEAD OPTS INSTEAD FEEL PROUD
OF THE DOMINO EFFECT YOU START
AROUND THE WORLD WHERE OTHER
JURISDICTIONS WILL FOLLOW OUR
BRAVE STAND AGAINST CASTE
DISCRIMINATION. I HAVE WITH ME
TO WITNESSES ONE. THE MORE YOU
SOME THE RAJON OF EQUALITY LABS
WHO IS A DALIT WOMAN WHOSE
PEOPLE WERE FORMALLY KNOWN AS
THE TOP UNTOUCHABLES SO YOU CAN
HEAR HER LIVED EXPERIENCE. I
ALSO HAVE AND RAVEL ONE OF THE
BRIGHTEST LEGAL MINDS IN THE
COUNTRY AND ADJUNCT PROFESSOR AT
UC BERKELEY AND FORMER DEPUTY
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IN THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. WHO
EXPLAINED THE LEGAL NEEDS FOR
THIS BILL TO PASS. CHAIR
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. ALL
RIGHT- LET'S HAVE THE FIRST
WITNESS IN SUPPORT OF SB. FOUR
OH THREE. MISS REBEL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE
TODAY. MISTER CHAIR AND RESTED
COMMITTEE- I ALSO- IN ADDITION.
OVER HERE SORRY. I FEEL LIKE I'M
IN JAIL I'M- I ALSO IN ADDITION.
TO WHAT THE SENATOR HAS SAID.
WORK IN HUMAN RIGHTS AND-
ELECTORAL ISSUES THROUGHOUT THE
AMERICAS AND FOR THAT REASON- I
SEE THIS BILL AND THE MOVEMENT
AND CASTE DISCRIMINATION. AS AN
IMPORTANT CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE AND
SO I UNEQUIVOCALLY SUPPORT. THE
BILL- WE KNOW. THERE HAVE BEEN A
LOT OF CASES THAT HAVE BEEN
REPORTED THAT ARE CREDIBLE CASES
OF CASTE DISCRIMINATION. IN
CALIFORNIA AND IN FACT AFTER THE
CISCO CASE A NUMBER OF WOMEN WHO
WERE ENGINEERS IN VARIOUS TECH
INDUSTRIES AND I LIVE IN THE
SOUTH BAY- WROTE TO THE
WASHINGTON POST. ABOUT THEIR
EXPERIENCES OF CASTE
DISCRIMINATION- SO SECTION SB
FOUR OH THREE USES THE SAME
RIGHTS AND RATIONAL APPROACH
THAT WE HAVE IN CALIFORNIA TO
FIGHT DISCRIMINATION THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS TAKEN OVER THE
YEARS TO PROTECT. ALL MINORITIES
- AS THIS COMMITTEE IS AWARE
THERE ARE EIGHTEEN CLASSES THAT
ARE PROTECTED IN CALIFORNIA
EIGHTEEN INDICATING THE
IMPORTANCE AND THE NEED FOR
CLEAR IDENTIFICATION OF
PROTECTED CLASSES TO BE
ENSHRINED IN ANTI DISCRIMINATION
LAW. AND UNTIL CAST IS
EXPLICITLY ADDED AS A PROTECTED
CLASS IT WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HARMED
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A REMEDY FOR
DISCRIMINATION AND I DO I DON'T
HAVE TOO MUCH TIME. BUT AS AS
THE SENATOR HAS INDICATED THIS
BILL IS NOT DISCRIMINATORY
AGAINST ANY INDIVIDUALS IN FACT
ONLY THE PERPETRATORS THANK YOU
WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE THANK
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT NEXT ONE IS
. THANK YOU ESTEEMED MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE FOR HAVING ME HERE
TODAY MY NAME IS THAN MORRIS ON
THE RAJIN AND I'M EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF EQUALITY LABS ADULT
CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION I ALSO
STAND HERE AS A BOARD MEMBER OF
THE ME TOO MOVEMENT AND A PROUD
FOUNDER OF THE CALIFORNIANS FOR
CAST EQUITY COALITION. I ALSO
STAND HERE AS A SURVIVOR OF
CASPASE VIOLENCE ON BEHALF OF MY
COMMUNITY AND ALLIES I HAVE ONE
MESSAGE TODAY PASSED A PRESS
CALIFORNIANS ARE HERE AND WE
DESERVE WORKPLACES AND
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FREE
FROM VIOLENCE. CALIFORNIA IS
GROUND ZERO FOR CAST INEQUALITY
. AND THIS SACRAMENTO IS OUR
BIRMINGHAM IN OUR QUEST FOR
FREEDOM. OUR RESEARCH HAS FOUND
THAT ONE IN FOUR CAST A PRESS
PEOPLE FACE PHYSICAL AND VERBAL
ASSAULT ONE IN THREE EDUCATIONAL
DISCRIMINATION AND TWO OUT OF
THREE WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION.
AND OUR DATA IS BACKED BY
NUMEROUS TESTIMONIES THAT WE
HAVE NOW GATHERED ACROSS THE
STATE FROM WORKERS IN EVERY
INDUSTRY WE HAVE TALKED TO
FARMWORKERS TRUCK DRIVERS CARE
GIVERS SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
DOCTORS NURSES LAWYERS. EACH
WITH THEIR OWN STORIES OF
HEARTBREAK AND EACH WITH THEIR
DETERMINATION TO BE FREE FROM
CAST. AND SO WE ARE HERE PASTOR
PRESS CALIFORNIANS WHO CAME AS
FAR AWAY AS SAN DIEGO TO SHASTA
COUNTY TO SPEAK FOR THOSE THAT
COULD NOT TODAY. AND SO WE SAY
WE ARE HERE FOR THOSE EMPLOYEES
WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR CONCERNS
TO HR TO COMPANIES LIKE CISCO
AND GOOGLE THAT REFUSED TO TAKE
OUR COMPLAINTS BECAUSE THEY SAID
KATZ WAS NOT A PROTECTED
CATEGORY. WE ARE ALSO HERE TO
SPEAK FOR CHILDREN WHO WANT TO
LIVE FREE FROM CLASS AND WE ARE
ALSO HERE TO SPEAK FOR OURSELVES
BECAUSE WE WANT A FUTURE WHERE
WE ARE ALL FREE TOGETHER. AND
THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO HEAL
FROM CAST WE MUST REMEDY IT'S
DISCRIMINATION. AND THAT'S WHY
WE ASK FOR YOU TO STAND WITH US
TO MAKE HISTORY WITH US TO STAND
WITH OUR AND THANK YOU IF YOU
COULD WRAP IT UP THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. ALL
RIGHT NOW LET'S HEAR FROM THE
OPPOSITION TWO MINUTES EACH IS
THERE A PRIMARY WITNESS IN
OPPOSITION TO SB FOUR OH THREE.
GREAT SIR. UNABLE JUDICIARY
MEMBERS I'M CINDY AT A PRESENT
I'M VERY GOOD FOR THE NETWORK OF
AMERICAN IT'S A MOTIONS.
CALIFORNIA'S FOUR ONE TWO THREE
OF THE ASSEMBLY GINS THE VERY
UNDERPRIVILEGED PEOPLE THAT
SENATOR WILL HOP. AND HER
SUPPORTERS CLAIM TO REPRESENT
BUT THEY DON'T WE STRONGLY
OPPOSE AS BEFORE DELIVERY. FOR
YOU HONORABLE SENATORS IT MAY BE
JUST ANOTHER BILL. FOR MY INDIAN
AMERICAN COMMITTEES INCLUDING
THAT IT'S THIS BILL IS A WEAPON.
WHICH ARE OUT OF CONTROL
EXISTENCE. SENATE HUB ENERGY
SUPPORTERS JUST MEANT ABILITY
UNSUBSTANTIATED CLAIMS ABOUT
HARASSMENT. DISCRIMINATIONS AND
Y. LISTENS IN ON COMMITTEES.
THAT SOME OF THESE ARE THE SAME
GROUPS THAT HAD ASKED THE CD. TO
REMOVE ANY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM
CALIFORNIA'S TACKLES THANKFULLY
CITY DO NOT FALL PREY. YOU MUST
NOT EITHER. THESE SAME GROUPS
HAVE ATTEMPTED KHASBULATOV
SEVERAL PLACES THE INTERNET IS
FIXED DELIGHT OUR CULTURAL
EXISTENCE BUT LANGUAGE OF
CHANGING. NO WONDER SENATOR WILL
HAVE JUST CHANGED THE DEFINITE
DEFINITION OF THE COST. JUST
LAST WEEK. COST IS A MOVING
TARGET. AND RACES CATEGORY THAT
YOU'RE BEING ASKED TO
INSTITUTIONALIZE. THE SOME OF
THE DATA FROM YOU END. UP ON
INDIA AS EVIDENCE BUT
CONVENIENTLY IGNORE THE DATA. ON
US THAT IT'S TELLING THAT
SUGGEST COMMISSION IS
EXCEEDINGLY RARE. IF IT HAPPENS
CURRENT LAWS PROTECT US BUT THE
BILL AND YESTERDAY'S ANALYSIS BY
THE COUNCIL. RATHER HINGES ON
FRAUDULENT REPORTS AN UNPROVEN
LAWSUIT. THE COUNCIL'S ANALYSIS
MAKE INSULTING ASSUMPTIONS THAT
MY COMMUNITY IS FULL OF COSTA
PRESSURES AND WE DO WE HAVE TO
STOP IT TO. UNDERSTAND THIS BILL
WHAT WE'LL DO REMEMBER THIS VERY
IMPORTANT MAJORITY OF THAT IS
AND- JOHNSON HANDLES BUT SENATOR
WILL HOP. HELLO AND HUMANITY
BASICALLY FORGOTTEN AND SHE DID
NOT REACH OUT TO US BEFORE
FRAMING THE BILL WE'LL FIND A
THOUSAND. CALIFORNIAN HINDU
AMERICANS HERE LASTLY THE
CLEANING UP THAT SOUTH AMERICANS
AFRICANS ASIAN COMMITTEES OF THE
CUSTOM MAKES BLACKS AND BROWNS
THAT'S NOT GOOD FOR HIT. AND WHO
KNOWS THE COLUMN TRAUMA WE
STRONGLY THAT THE BILL CLAIMS TO
SAY WHAT ACTUALLY. IT HARMS US
PLEASE VOTE NO ON BILL ANY THAT
HAS WHAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
ARE A NEXT. JUST REMINDER THAT
THE YOUR COMMENTS ARE TO THE-
NOT TO THE OFF. ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU HI GOOD MY NAME ROCKY I'M
GONNA- SOUTH ASIAN CAL. AND I'M
HERE TO IN OFFICE OF US BEFORE-
THREE. ARE TOO MANY CONDEMNS FOR
JUST. SO THE QUESTION REPURPOSE
THIS COMMITTEE. IS NOT WHETHER
WE ADDRESS ALLEGATIONS OF
KASPAROV THERE HOW WE DO SO. AS
BEFORE THREE IS AN
UNCONSTITUTIONAL DENIAL OF MY
COMMUNITY RIGHT TO FAIRNESS AND
EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW.
IF THIS BILL IS ADOPTED CATS
WILL BE THE ONLY DISCRIMINATION
LAW CATEGORY THAT IS NOT
FACIALLY NEUTRAL. EVERYONE HAS A
RACE EVERYONE HAS A COLOR
EVERYONE HASN'T AGE NOT EVERYONE
HAS A CAST. THIS BILL IS
FACIALLY DISCRIMINATORY IT'S A
PORTION OF THE SUCH A LAW WOULD
NECESSARILY BE PLAGUED WITH
SUSPICION PRESUMPTIONS OF GUILT
INTRUSIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
ANCESTRY OF OUR PARTNERS. AND
MORE ALL IN VIOLATION OF OUR
RIGHTS TO EQUAL PROTECTION DUE
PROCESS AND THE VERY. LAWS THIS
BILL SEEKS TO AMEND COUNTRY
TOWARD THE L. LEGISLATIVE
ANALYSIS RELEASED YESTERDAY SAYS
THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILL
ACTUALLY TEMPS DEFINE CAST.
AMONG OTHER THINGS AS SOCIAL
RESTRICTIONS ON MARRIAGE IN
OTHER WORDS HOW YOU MARRY OR WHO
YOU MARRY IS DETERMINATIVE OF
YOUR CAST. THAT'S BIGOTRY.
FINALLY THE LEGISLATURE
ANNOUNCES ALSO INCORRECTLY
STATES THAT ON REPORTED CLAIMS
OF CUSTOMS COMMISSION MEANS THAT
THE LAWN NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED
TWO STATUTES. BUT THIS BILL
DOESN'T JUST CLARIFY IT CREATES
AN ENTIRELY NEW LEGAL CATEGORY.
THAT ONLY APPLIES TO PEOPLE OF
COLOR. INSTEAD THAT
CLARIFICATION KENICHI THROUGH
GUIDANCE FROM THE CIVIL RIGHTS
DEPARTMENT AND MORE RESOURCES TO
EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT THEIR
RIGHTS. THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYSIS
AS WELL AS THE BILL AGREES THAT
EXISTING LAW ALREADY BARS CAST
DISCRIMINATION. AND WE KNOW THAT
THE STATE HAS ALREADY LITIGATED
CLAIMS OF CUSTOM NATION UNDER
ANCESTRY IN ITS CASE AGAINST
CISCO. THIS LAW WILL CAUSE WAY
MORE PROBLEMS IT MAY POSSIBLY
SOLVE BY SINGLING OUT AN ENTIRE
COMMUNITY. MY STIGMATIZING.
CHILDREN OF OUR COMMUNITY MY
HARMING OUR EDUCATE AND- ARE. I
SOUTH ASIA. WE HAVE A RIGHT. TO
LIVE HAPPILY AND PEACEFULLY AS
DOES EVERY CITIZEN OF THE STATE.
THERE ARE SO MANY MUCH BETTER
WAYS TO SOLVE ANY PROBLEMS OF
CASTE DISCRIMINATION THAN THIS
BILL. PLEASE VOTE NO ON AS
BEFORE THREE THANKS ARI THANK
YOU. RIGHT NEXT. WE'RE GOING TO
HEAR FROM THOSE WHO SUPPORT AND
OPPOSE S. B. FOUR OH THREE. WHEN

YOU MIGHT THINK IT WAS LIMITED
BUT THIS HAS TO BE- ONE OF THE
LARGEST NUMBERS OF PEOPLE THAT
IS TESTIFIED FOR A BILL THUS
FAR. IN THIS SESSION. SO WE ARE
GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE AND THIS IS THE TIME
FOR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. WHO WHATEVER
QUOTE CENTER MAN. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MR CHAIRMAN I WANT TO
THANK- ALL OF THAT MANY.
WITNESSES WHO SPOKE HERE TODAY-
WHEN I FIRST HEARD THIS BILL- I
SHOULD SAY I HAVE A LARGE AND
VERY VIBRANT SOUTH ASIAN
COMMUNITY IN MY DISTRICT. I AND
I WANT TO JUST SIT THE OUTSET
THAT THE CULTURAL AND ECONOMIC
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THEY MAKE TO
MY COMMUNITY AND MY ORANGE
COUNTY. I TO THE STATE IT REALLY
REALLY IMPORTANT I'VE HEARD FROM
MANY MANY ADVOCATES ON THIS BILL
I AND MY STAFF HAS AND I KNOW
THIS IS A DEEPLY EMOTIONAL BILL
FOR BOTH SIDES OF THIS DEBATE.
AS AN ASIAN AMERICAN MYSELF AS
THE SON OF GREEN IMMIGRANTS WHO
CAME TO THIS COUNTRY. LIKE MANY
OF YOU OR YOUR PARENTS ARE IN
SEARCH OF THE AMERICAN DREAM I
JUST WANT TO SAY THAT IT IS
OBVIOUSLY- A FOUNDATIONAL
PRINCIPLE OF THIS COUNTRY. THAT
WE DON'T HAVE CAST YEAR THAT
THAT THIS IS A COUNTRY THAT
ACCEPTS ALL I RECENTLY VISITED
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY IN NEW
YORK- FOR SPRING BREAK. I AND
THOSE WORDS STILL STRIKE ME
TODAY GIVE ME YOUR TIRED YOUR
POOR YOUR HUDDLED MASSES
YEARNING TO BREATHE BREATHE
FREE. THE WRETCHED REFUSE OF
YOUR TEEMING SHORES. IN AMERICA.
AGAIN A BASIC PRINCIPLES
EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED
EQUALLY UNDER THE LAW THERE ARE
NO UNTOUCHABLES HERE. I TO BRETT
BEDROCK PRINCIPLE OF OUR COUNTRY
. BUT IN TALKING WITH THE
OPPONENTS OF THIS BILL I DID SAY
I WILL SAY THE RACE THREE POINTS
THAT I FOUND VERY VERY
CONCERNING. I AM POTENTIALLY
COMPELLING. OUR FIRST THEY MADE
THE ARGUMENT TO ME THE CASTE
DISCRIMINATION IS NOT ACTUALLY A
PROBLEM THE UNITED STATES. THAT
CASTS ARE LARGELY IRRELEVANT
ONCE PEOPLE COME TO THIS
COUNTRY. I AND EMIGRATE HERE. I
THE SECOND POINT THEY MADE TO
MUSICCAST DISCRIMINATION IS
ALREADY COVERED BY EXISTING
FEDERAL. AND STATE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION LAW. AND THURSDAY
MADE THE POINT TO ME THAT BY
SPECIFICALLY TARGETING KASUS
COMBINATION THIS BILL WOULD
ITSELF BE TARGETING HINDU
AMERICANS. AND CREATING
CONDITIONS FOR FUTURE FOR
FURTHER DISCRIMINATION. SO I
WANT TO DRESS THESE THREE REALLY
BRIEFLY BECAUSE I'VE FOUGHT A
LOT ABOUT THIS BILL- AND- IT
JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU MY THOUGHT
PROCESS AND AS MEMBERS OF MY
DISTRICT TO CARE DEEPLY ABOUT
THIS BILL. ON THE FIRST.
QUESTION WHETHER CASH
DISCRIMINATION IS ACTUALLY
PROBLEM UNITED STATES- I HAVE
BECOME CONVINCED IT IS A
PROBLEM. I EVEN IF YOU DISCOUNT
THE TECH EQUITY DATA WHICH SOME
OF YOU HAVE DONE SUGGESTING THAT
TWO IN THREE. LOWER CASTE
WORKERS HAVE REPORTED CASTE
BASED DISCRIMINATION IN THE
WORKPLACE. I'VE HEARD FROM
ENOUGH PEOPLE PERSON EXPERIENCE
CASTE DISCRIMINATION. I BUT I
BELIEVE IT IS A PROBLEM I DON'T
KNOW HOW BIG THE PROBLEM IS BUT
I DO BELIEVE IS OUT THERE. ARE
THE SECOND POINT THOSE MADE TO
CAST DISCRIMINATIONS ALREADY
COVERED BY EXISTING FEDERAL AND
STATE LAW. IS ANALYSIS NOTES
THIS IS STILL ACTUALLY QUESTION
THAT HAS SOME UNCERTAINTY
ASSOCIATED WITH IT. I DO THINK
THERE'S A LACK OF CLARITY AROUND
THIS AND I DO THINK THAT THIS
BILL CAN HELP TO CLARIFY. THAT
CASTE BASED DISCRIMINATION
OCCURS- IN IT IS COVERED BY
FEDERAL ID BY STATE LAW. I AM AT
LEAST PROVIDE CLARITY TO
EMPLOYERS AND OTHERS. THE THIRD
QUESTION OF WHETHER CAST. WILL
FURTHER CREATE DISCRIMINATION
DANCING AMERICANS IS SOMETHING
THAT. I DO FIND DEEPLY
TROUBLING- AND I HAVE TO THINK
ABOUT THE OVERALL PROS AND CONS
OF THIS BILL. BUT BEING
CONVINCED THE CASTE BASED
DISCRIMINATION IS SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENS THAT IT MAY NOT BE
COVERED BY EXISTING LAW- YOU
KNOW I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE AUTHOR WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK. TO TRY TO NARROW THE
POSSIBILITY IN ELIMINATE THE
POSSIBILITY THAT THIS BILL WILL
LEAD TO DISCRIMINATION CONTINUE
AMERICANS. ARE THE ANALYSIS DOES
NOTE. THAT ANY DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST HINDU AMERICANS WOULD BE
ILLEGAL UNDER EXISTING LAWS
PROTECTING RACE NATIONAL ORIGIN-
IT ALSO NOTES THAT THE BILL'S
LANGUAGE REFERS TO PERSONS
PERCEIVED CAST RATHER THAN
ACTUAL CAST- WHICH MAY MITIGATE
SOME OF THE CONCERNS RAISED BY
THE OPPOSITION. I SAW ALL THAT
THINKING ABOUT THE PROS AND CONS
OF THIS BILL I HAVE BECOME
CONVINCED THAT THE PROS DO
OUTWEIGH THE CONS I WILL BE
VOTING AYE ON THIS BILL BUT I
JUST WANTED TO LAY OUT MY
THOUGHT PROCESS IS VERY HARD
BILL. I KNOW IT'S A VERY
EMOTIONAL BILL FOR ALL OF YOU
OUT THERE AND I FEEL LIKE I OWE
AN EXPLANATION TO PEOPLE IN MY
DISTRICT FOR A WHILE BE VOTING I
TODAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR
OTHER SENATORS COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS. I'LL GO TO SENATOR
CAFIERO AND THEN I'M GONNA GO TO
SENATOR ALAN. WELL- THANK YOU. I
GUESS WE CALL YOU SITTING CHAIR
RIGHT. HERE DURING THE COMMITTEE
RIGHT NOW- I ASK. FOR FIRST OF
ALL I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY
THAT CAME HERE TODAY AND- REALLY
WANT TO. SHOW RESPECT AND
APPRECIATION TO THE TO THE YOUNG
KIDS THAT CAME. BECAUSE WHATEVER
WE DO TODAY IS GOING TO IMPACT.
THE CHILDREN IN OUR COMMUNITY
AND THEIR PERCEPTION OF HOW
DEMOCRACY WORKS OR DOESN'T WORK-
AND- I HOPE WITH THEY TAKE AWAY
FROM THIS EXPERIENCE IS THAT- IS
THAT WE LISTEN. THAT WERE VERY
CAREFUL ABOUT- HOW WE- WE LOOK
AT THINGS THAT AND THAT PUBLIC
INPUT IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT
AND IT'S AN ORDERLY PROCESS
WHERE YOU CAN SHOW UP AND- AND
SPEAK. DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE A
DECISION- I REPRESENT THE
CENTRAL VALLEY AND- AND HAVE- A
VERY VERY DIVERSE COMMUNITY. AND
I- AND WHEN I THINK- I WANT TO
THANK EVERYBODY FOR COMING BUT
IN PARTICULAR THE PEOPLE WHO
CAME FROM THE CENTRAL VALLEY
BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES- IT'S
HARD TO LEAVE WORK AND IT'S HARD
TO SHOW UP AND- AND BE PRESENT
AND- ANTIX PRESS YOUR OPINIONS.
I'M VERY MUCH LIKE A MY GOOD
FRIEND FROM IRVINE- I LOOKED AT
THIS VERY VERY CAREFULLY AND-
AND ME JUST SAY I HAVE A LOT OF
RESPECT FOR. OUR NEW SENATOR
AND- AND SHE TAKES ON VERY VERY
HARD ISSUES. TO TRY TO DO
WHAT'S- WHAT IN THE BEST IN OF
THE COMMUNITY AND- AND FOR AND
FOR ME I HAVE SPENT MY ENTIRE
LIFE. WELL- WORKING FOR THE
CIVIL RIGHTS OF RESIDENTS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND MY- I'M
AN ATTORNEY BY TRADE AND MY-
FIRST JOB WAS WORKING. FOR
CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL
ASSISTANCE FOR FARMWORKERS
BECAUSE I FELT VERY STRONGLY
THAT THEY NEEDED THEIR VOICES
NEEDED TO BE HEARD- AND THEIR
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THEY THEY
WORKED WORD NOT FAIR. AND SO
I'VE SPENT A I'VE SPENT A LOT OF
TIME TALKING TO PEOPLE- WORKING
WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS OF PEOPLE
TO TRY TO. RESOLVE ISSUES WE
HAVE IN IN OUR SOCIETY IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. AND WHAT'S
IMPORTANT ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS
PROTECTION IS THAT WHAT YOU SAY
IS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE
WHAT YOU THINK- WHAT YOUR
RELIGION YOUR COLOR YOUR COUNTRY
OF ORIGIN- YOUR- SEXUAL
PREFERENCE- YOUR GENDER ALL OF
THAT ARE PROTECTED- CLASSES AND-
AND AS I WAS LOOKING AT THE
DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT. THAT
KASSIS THEM- ONE OF THE THINGS I
REALIZED IS MY FAMILY'S
ORIGINALLY FROM MEXICO- AND IT'S
BEEN. WE'VE BEEN HERE IN THIS
COUNTRY ABOUT A HUNDRED AND
FORTY YEARS BUT- BUT SOME OF THE
PREJUDICES THAT CAME WITH
COLONISATION HAVE AFFECTED
MEXICO'S AND THE VIEWS OF PEOPLE
IN MEXICO AND THE VIEWS. OF WHO
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAN
SOMEONE ELSE AND I HAVE TO TELL
YOU THAT WE HAVE CAST A CAST
VERY VERY. PRETTY RIGID CASTE
SYSTEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES AS
WELL IT'S JUST NOT TALKED ABOUT
IT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS AND
PEOPLE ARE TREATED
DISRESPECTFULLY BASED A LOT ON
THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. OR THE
JOBS THAT THEY DO OR THE PART OF
THE COUNTRY THAT THEY COME FROM
SO I'M VERY SENSITIVE TO THE
ISSUE SO SUFFICE I'M I'M
WRAPPING UP TO SAY- I. WHAT WHAT
I BELIEVE THIS LEGISLATION DOES
IS IT SAYS THAT ONE OF THE KEY
ISSUES THAT YOU CAN NOT
DISCRIMINATE. ON IS- IS A CASTE
SYSTEM AND THAT WE HAVE TO
PROTECT EVERYBODY AND THAT MEANS
WHETHER IT'S EMPLOYMENT OR ITS
IN EDUCATION- AND ANYTHING ELSE
THAT PEOPLE THAT THAT THAT IS
PART OF A PEOPLE'S EVERYDAY
LIFE- WEEK WE CAN'T BE
PREJUDICED. AGAINST PEOPLE THAT
MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
IN ESSENCE HOW I'M GONNA SUPPORT
THE BILL TODAY- AND I AM I AM I
AM- I WANT TO ASSURE THE
CHILDREN THAT WERE TALKING ABOUT
DISCRIMINATION IN THEIR
CLASSROOMS IN IN THEIR SCHOOLS.
THAT THIS STATE WILL DO
EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF THE LAWS
ON THE BOOKS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THAT DISCRIMINATION DOES NOT
HAPPEN AND IF IT DOES BECAUSE WE
KNOW THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL FOR
EVERYTHING. THAT THOSE CHILDREN
WILL BE PROTECTED AND THAT THERE
WILL BE SOMEBODY AT THEIR SIDE
THEY CAN DEFEND THEIR LEGAL
RIGHTS AND THAT'S WHY I WENT TO
LAW SCHOOL AND I BELIEVE VERY
DEEPLY IN THAT SO. I THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THIS THIS BILL
FORWARD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
SENATOR ALAN. WELL I
DISASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THE
COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES AND-
YOU KNOW I THINK THAT- IT IS
HARD TO PROVE DISCRIMINATION
UNDER OUR- LAW. AND BUT THERE IS
NOTHING THERE IS A SENSE THAT-
THAT THE- YEAH WE DON'T WANT
PEOPLE TO BE DISCRIMINATED
AGAINST ON THE BASIS OF
SOMETHING THAT'S AN IMMUTABLE
CHARACTERISTIC THAT. AND I THINK
CASF FALLS INTO THAT CATEGORY- I
DO THINK THAT IT'S IMPORTANT
ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT. I ARE
CENTER FROM IRVINE MENTION THIS
THAT THAT THAT THAT THE CHAIR
REALLY WORK CLOSELY. WITH THE
COMMUNITY TO ENSURE THAT
THERE'S- NOW THAT SOME OF THE
FEARS. THAT HAVE BEEN EXPRESSED
IN THE COURSE OF THIS DISCUSSION
ARE ARE ARE ARE REALLY PUT TO
PUT TO REST. I THINK. I REALLY
AM NOT MUCH OF THE FOLKS FULLY
UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE
AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN
AND- M. AND THERE'S SOME THERE'S
SOME GOOD REPUTATION OF SOME OF
THE FEARS AND CONCERNS. THAT ARE
IN THE AND IN THE ANALYSIS FROM
THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE- SO IT'S
WITHOUT IT IT'S WITH WITH THAT
VENDOR STANDING AND I'M I'M
PREPARED TO VOTE FOR THE BILL
TODAY I KNOW THE STILL GOT A
LONG WAY TO GO AND IT'S GONNA BE
A LOT OF WORK THAT WILL
CONTINUE- I GUESS I WOULD LOVE
TO ASK THE AUTHOR. YOU COULD YOU
CAN YOU AND YOUR- YOU BROUGHT A
LOT OF FOLKS TODAY FROM BOTH ON
BOTH SIDES- INCLUDING MANY FROM
YOUR OWN DISTRICT. YOU DO YOU DO
YOU WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK OF
IT TO SOME OF THE I THINK THAT
THE TRULY FELT FEAR. THAT I HAD
SOME FOLKS HAVE EXPRESSED TODAY
THAT THIS WILL LEAD TO GREATER
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST. HINDU
AMERICANS AND AMERICANS IN
GENERAL- AND HOW WOULD YOU
RESPOND. FROM YOUR HEART TO
THOSE FOLKS. AT THANK YOU- SO S.
BEFORE- THREE DOES NOT ACTUALLY
CONTEND THAT ANY SOUTH ASIANS
ARE MORE LIKELY TO DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST ANOTHER SOUTH ASIAN.
COMPARED TO ANY OTHER GROUP- AND
INDIVIDUALS REGARDLESS OF WHAT
SECTION OF THE CAST THEY ARE
PART OF- IS ALSO PROTECTED-
THAT'S ANOTHER PIECE OF IT AND A
PERSON DOES NOT NEED TO BE A
MEMBER OF CASTING GAUGING CASTE.
BASED DISCRIMINATION IT COULD BE
SOMEBODY THAT AGAIN PERCEIVES.
ART YOUR STANDING- AND SB FOUR
THREE EXPLICITLY STATES THAT
CASPASE DISCRIMINATION IS NOT
LIMITED TO ONE GROUP OR- OR
PEOPLE FOUND IT YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY ON MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
CONTINENTS RATE- WE'VE KIND OF.
ILLUSTRATED THAT IN A LITTLE BIT
OF THE NOW SAYS AS WELL THAT
CAST- THERE'S DIFFERENT CASSON
OBVIOUSLY THEY BELONG TO
MULTIPLE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
IT'S NOT JUST THE SOUTH ASIAN.
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AND AS AN
ASIAN AMERICAN MYSELF- I
GENERALLY STAND AGAINST ASIAN
HATE AS A WHOLE AND OBVIOUSLY WE
ARE WORKING TO MAKE SURE THAT
THIS BILL. PROTECTS ALL PEOPLE
IT IS AN ANTI DISCRIMINATION.
POLICY BASICALLY. YEAH IT'S HARD
TO PROVE DISCRIMINATION- YOU
KNOW AND AN EIGHT WE HAVE THESE
LAWS IN PLACE- BECAUSE WE DO
WANT TO- INSURE THE PEOPLE THINK
TWICE BEFORE BEFORE
DISCRIMINATING- IN. NO I
UNDERSTAND I DIE TOTALLY I THINK
THE FEARS ARE THAT OF AN EXPRESS
THEIR VERY HONEST AND- I
UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY'RE COMING
FROM BUT I. MA'AM I WONDER
WHETHER SOME OF THEM. OUR OUR
OUR HIÆN. BASED ON ON FEAR
RATHER THAN THE REALITY WHAT'S
IN THE BILL SO. AND BUT BUT I
MEAN I THINK SAID. YOU CERTAINLY
BROUGHT A LOT OF CONCERNS FROM
FOLKS AND I JUST I REALLY DO
HOPE THAT THE AUTHOR AND THE
COMMITTEE ASSUMING THE BILL GETS
OUT TODAY- WHAT WILL PEOPLE
REALLY WORKING GOOD FAITH WITH.
COMMUNITY LEADERS INCLUDING SOME
OF THOSE WHO HAVE SPOKEN OUT
AGAINST THE BILL- TO RIGHT TO
ENSURE THAT THAT THOSE THAT DID
THAT. THE ISSUES ARE CLEARED UP
FARES ARE ADDRESSED IT'S AFTER.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OTHER
COMMENTS. ABOUT ALL GO TO THE
CENTER NAY LAW AND THEN I'LL GO
TO SENATOR DRAWS. THIS IS BEEN A
VERY DIFFICULT BILL FOR ME- KERR
GRAPPLE WITH. AS THE AUTHOR
KNOWS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT
SEVERAL TIMES- I'VE TALKED WITH
A LOT OF PEOPLE- PERSONAL
FRIENDS AND THEN OTHERS THAT-
THAT CAME TO MY OFFICE. AND I
FULLY UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE
. THE OPPOSITION IN THEIR
FEELING THAT- JUST THE PROPOSAL
OF THE BILL IS IN A WAY
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THEM. I
UNDERSTAND WHY YOU FEEL THAT
WAY. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE AS- SENATOR WHAT HOBBIT
JUST SAID THAT- IT ISN'T AIMED
AT JUST ONE GROUP AND- THE-
ANALYSIS THAT WE HAVE- POINT OUT
MORE THAN ONCE THAT- CASTE
SYSTEMS- EXIST. IN A LOT OF
AREAS IN THE WORLD- HISTORICALLY
AND STILL. AND SO. I DON'T. I
DON'T LOOK AT IT THAT WAY-
PERHAPS EASY FOR ME TO SAY BUT I
DON'T I DON'T LOOK AT IT THAT
WAY THE ONE THING I DO ONE
CONCERN I DO HAVE IS THAT- AS IS
STATED CAST ISN'T. FULLY
UNDERSTOOD- IN IN THIS COUNTRY-
AND SO THAT- THAT LACK OF
UNDERSTANDING OF FOR THE
DEFINITION OF WHAT IT IS COULD
CREATE- EXCESSIVELY THAT
LITIGATION AND THAT DOES.
CONCERN ME WHETHER THAT CAN BE
ADDRESSED IN THE EVENTUAL- FORM
OF THE BILL I DON'T KNOW BUT
THAT IS CONCERNING. BUT WE DO
HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN. TO
KEEP PEOPLE FROM BEING
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST MY LAST
NAME IS A TALLIEN. IN ITALY IT'S
PRONOUNCED NIELLO NOT KNEE LOW.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE WHEN MY
GRANDFATHER'S FAMILY IMMIGRATED
HERE AT THE TURN OF THE LAST
CENTURY. MEDALLIONS WERE NOT
VIEWED AS- FAVORED IMMIGRANTS-
AS WE HAVE NEW GENERATIONS OF
IMMIGRANTS THAT EMIGRATED TO
THIS COUNTRY OF THERE HAS BEEN-
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE A NATION OF
IMMIGRANTS EVERY TIME THERE'S A
RESISTANCE TO- NEW GROUPS COMING
IN. AND THE REASON IT'S
PRONOUNCED KNEE LOW INSTEAD OF
NEW YELLOW WAS TO ANGLICISED
QUITE FRANKLY THE NAME- AND MY
GRANDFATHER DIDN'T LIVE IN THE
TALLY IN AREAS IN- SAN FRANCISCO
AND- OF. SO IT IT HAPPENED
DISCRIMINATION HAPPENS AND WE DO
HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
PROTECT AGAINST IT. SO I'M KIND
OF ECHOING- THE COMMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN MADE BY MY COLLEAGUE
COLLEAGUES AND I BY AND LARGE
AGREE WITH THEM AND- I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH US SENATOR- PLEASE.
ARE CENTER DROSS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- LOTS OF THOUGHTS COME TO
MIND- I TO APPRECIATE EVERYONE
WHO CAME TO EXPRESS THEIR
SENTIMENTS ON THIS BILL THAT IS
VERY IMPORTANT FOR DEMOCRACY
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. FOR
EVERYONE TO FEEL AW THE ABILITY
TO SPEAK UP ON WHATEVER YOUR
OPINION IS AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT MAKES THIS COUNTRY A
STRONG. BUT YOU KNOW SINCE THE
FOUNDING OF OUR COUNTRY WE'VE
HAD TO FACE MANY ISSUES OF
RACISM AND FREEDOMS ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY ON THE ONE HAND BUT
YET OPPRESSIVE BEHAVIOR ALL ON
THE ON THE OTHER HAND SOAP. I
KNOW WE STRIVE EVERY DAY TO
ADDRESS FORMS OF DISCRIMINATION-
WE DO AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD
THAT CALIFORNIA IS IN THE
FOREFRONT OF DEFENDING. OUR
DEMOCRACY OF DEFENDING OUR
RIGHTS OF FIGHTING AGAINST ALL
FORMS AND ANY FORMS OF
DISCRIMINATION SO WE'RE VERY
PROUD OF THAT WE SAID WE STRIVE
TO DO THAT EVERY TIME AN ISSUE
COMES UP. AND IT CAN BE
UNCOMFORTABLE- BUT YET IT'S MUCH
BETTER TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE OR-
AND NOT IGNORE SOMETHING THAT
EXISTS SO. YOU KNOW WE TRIED TO
PROTECT ALL PEOPLE'S RIGHTS
WHETHER IT'S ON GENDER BASED
GENDER IDENTITY BASED RACE BASED
ETHNICITY LANGUAGE WE HAVE IN
CALIFORNIA HUNDREDS OF LANGUAGES
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
FEELS THE FREEDOM TO SPEAK ON
IT. SO WE ARE VERY SENSITIVE- TO
ALL FORMS AND ANY FORMS OF BIAS-
TO MAKE THAT STRAIGHT SO. ON
THAT BASIS AND ALSO BECAUSE I
MYSELF OF BEING- BORN HERE BUT
OF PARENTS OF MEXICO I KNOW THE
KINDS OF- SUBTLE AND OVERT-
DISCRIMINATIONS. LEADS ME TO
SUPPORT THE BILL. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH SENATOR WILL. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR. I WANT TO ALIGN MY
COMMENTS I THINK WITH- WAS
CENTERED IN NEW LOW I HAVE NOT
EVER CONFRONTED THIS SO IT'S
BEEN REALLY HARD TO GRAPPLE WITH
I TO COME FROM IMMIGRANTS- MY
FAMILY CHANGED THEIR NAME AT
ELLIS ISLAND. WHEN THEY WHEN
THEY CAME OVER TO AVOID
DISCRIMINATION IN AND TALKING
WITH THE OPPONENTS ONE THING I
WANT YOU TO WORK ON MOVING
FORWARD THAT REALLY RESONATES
WITH ME AND AGAIN I BECAUSE I'M
ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT A LAWSUIT
AS WELL. IS KNEELING DOWN WHAT
THE- WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE
LEGAL DEPT DEFINITION OF CAST
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I THINK
THERE WE COULD DID. YOU HAVE
SOME REALLY ADVERSE EFFECTS BUT
IN AMERICA WERE SUPPOSED TO ALL
BE CREATED EQUAL EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY SO I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT YOUR BILL TODAY BUT I
WOULD HOPE THAT YOU YOU YOU WORK
ON THAT AND TIGHTEN THAT UP- FOR
EVERYBODY'S PROTECTION. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. I'M VERY MUCH
SENATOR STERN- THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND I WANT TO THANK
EVERYONE FOR MAKING. SUCH A
SHOWING OF THEIR DEMOCRATIC
VOICE AYE AYE I WAS BETWEEN
COMMITTEES BUT I HAD. EVERY
SINGLE PERSON IN THIS THIS ROOMS
TESTIMONY IN MY EAR ALL MORNING
AT SEEING THE VARIETY THAT YOU
THE VIEWS BUT THE DIVERSITY- IN
THE ROOM AND- WE DO FEEL YOU AND
HEAR YOU I ALSO WANT TO
APPRECIATE- THIS AUTHOR FOR-
COMING INTO THE SENATE-
UNABASHEDLY AND- BEING HERSELF
RIGHT OUT THE GATES. AND AND
DOING SO IN A WAY THAT IS- TAKES
A BIT OF BRAVERY ESPECIALLY WHEN
THEY'RE SUCH INTENSITY I I'VE
HEARD YOUR RESPONSES TO THE
MEMBERS QUESTIONS- AND I. WAS
WRESTLING WITH SOME OF THE
TECHNICAL ISSUES CONSTITUTIONAL
QUESTIONS- I WANT TO EXPRESS
THAT I WAS MOVED. BY YOUR
RESPONSE BUT ALSO A KEY PIECE
THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT THE
ATKINS LEGISLATION FROM A FEW
YEARS BACK. THAT BROUGHT- SEXUAL
ORIENTATION INTO PROTECTED
CLASS. STATUS UNDER THE UNDER
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT AND I THOUGHT
YOU KNOW THE FEAR- THE CONCERN
IN IN THIS ROOM IN IT AND AROUND
THIS BILL THAT THERE WAS SOME OF
THE A WAVE OF REVERSE
DISCRIMINATION THAT PEOPLE SORT
OF TURN ON EACH OTHER THIS WILL
TRIGGER- A SUSPICION OR A
DIVISION SOMEHOW WITHIN SOUTH
ASIAN COMMUNITY WRIT LARGE BUT
EVEN WITHIN. YOU KNOW THE HINDU
COMMUNITY ITSELF THAT RISK- I
THINK IS MITIGATED BY THE PROOF
IN THE PUDDING OF HOW. THAT CAN
BILL HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED THAT.
IT IS AN IMMUTABLE
CHARACTERISTIC YOUR SEXUAL
ORIENTATION GENDER IDENTITY AS
YOU YOU KNOW AS YOU WISH TO
EXPRESS IT THAT THE DOES ARE NOT
THINGS YOU CAN NECESSARILY TELL
FROM LOOKING A PERSON TO SAY.
JUST LIKE I'M JEWISH YOU COULD
LOOK AT ME AND SAY. YOU DON'T
LOOK JEWISH- YOU CAN SAY TO
SOMEBODY YOU DON'T LOOK GAY BUT
THOSE ARE IMMUTABLE
CHARACTERISTICS RIGHT THAT CAN'T
BE SORT OF SEEN JUST BY THE ACT
. N. AND NOT IT IS ILLEGAL UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW TO DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST PEOPLE. BASED ON THOSE
CHARACTERISTICS AND THOSE
CLASSES SO FOR INSIGHT I OBSERVE
IT AT AN ORTHODOX SYNAGOGUE- I
OBSERVE THE SABBATH- HI HIDE
HERE TO SORT OF STRICTER FORMS A
OF JUDAISM THAN OTHERS YOU
COULDN'T AS ONE. CHIU
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANOTHER
JUVE BY SAYING IF YOU'RE NOT
ORTHODOX YOU CAN'T COME INTO
THIS BAR YOU CAN'T COME INTO
THIS ROOM YOU CAN'T. SEEK
EMPLOYMENT IF YOU'RE NOT OF YOU
KNOW A CERTAIN RELIGIOSITY-
THAT'S ILLEGAL. THAT IS NOT
TRIGGERED- A SORT OF. INTER
COMMUNAL- BATTLES AND IT'S SORT
OF A TAX AND THE AND THE SORT OF
REVERSE DISCRIMINATION. IN ANY
PERSON PERCEPTIBLE WAY THE SAME
WITHIN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY-
BECAUSE THE ATKINS BILL IS NOW
LAW HAS NOT THEN TRIGGERED A
WHOLE WAVE OF SORT OF THIS
REVERSE DISCRIMINATION WE'VE
ACTUALLY SEEN. NO EVIDENCE OF
THAT THAT I CAN TELL- SO. I DID
WITHIN THAT PRECEDENT THAT WE
SET THROUGH OUR OWN CIVIL
RIGHTS. LEGISLATION IN THIS SORT
OF EVOLVING NATURE OF THE
DOCTRINE- THIS SEEMS. LIKE AN
IDEA THAT TIME IS COMMON AND
THAT. I HOPE. IN THE COMING
YEARS SHOULD THIS BECOME LAW-
THAT. THOSE FEARS WILL SORT OF
BE EVADED JUST BY THEIR-
REALITY. THAT IS A GOOD
PROTECTION FOR THOSE WHO ARE
TARGETED NOW BUT THIS IS NOT AN
INVASION OF THOSE RIGHTS OR SORT
OF TRIGGERING OF A- THAT IN ANY
ANIMOSITY IS FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE
IT'S NOT FROM WITHIN THIS LAW.
THERE ARE TENSIONS OUT THERE AND
WE KNOW THEY GO ALL OVER THE
WORLD AND THEY GO TO CONTENTS
THAT AREN'T EVEN THIS ONE AND
THEY'RE DEEP AND THEY'RE AND
THEY CAN GET VERY UGLY BUT- THIS
IS NOT. THIS IS NOT. THAT BILL-
AND THIS IS NOT THE REASON FOR
THAT. AND TO IMPLY THAT I THINK
IMPUGN IS THE SPIRIT OF THIS IS
BILL AND I THINK- THAT'S ONE BE
SUPPORTING TODAY SO I
APPRECIATE. IT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH EVERYONE HAS SPOKEN IS
THERE A LAST QUESTION OR COMMENT
BEFORE I GO TO THE AUTHOR FOR A
CLOSE. SEEING NONE A SENATOR YOU
MAKE CALLS THANK YOU- I DO WANT
TO THANK EVERY SINGLE SUPPORTER
OF S. BEFORE- THREE WHO IS HERE
TODAY AND WHO TESTIFIED VIA
TELECONFERENCE I ALSO WANT TO
THANK THE OPPOSITION FOR JUST
ENGAGING IN THE DEMOCRATIC
PROCESS- THE- EVERYONE THAT
SPOKE. THEY ARE RISKING MORE
THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE BEING HERE
TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES AND
COUNTLESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO
FEAR. OFFER THEIR OWN SAFETY-
WITH THE PASSAGE OF SB FOUR OH
THREE EACH OF YOU THAT VOTE I
WILL BE EXPANDING THE FREEDOMS
THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS PROMISED.
I THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU
GUYS SPOKE TO THAT- EACH OF YOU
WILL BE VOTING TO ENHANCE OUR
CIVIL RIGHTS GUARANTEED TO ALL.
AND EACH OF YOU WILL BREAK THE
INVISIBLE CHAINS THAT HAVE
DROPPED THE HUMAN SPIRIT AND
POTENTIAL OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
SINCE BIRTH. ACROSS THE WORLD
THE WORLD IS WATCHING AND I WILL
SAY THAT THIS WILL HAVE A
POSITIVE AFFECT WHERE OTHER
PLACES. CAN POTENTIALLY PURSUE
THIS AND EXPAND THE RIGHTS OF
OTHERS SO WITH THAT SAID- AGAIN
I WANT TO THANK THIS COMMITTEE I
WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO
SPOKE AND WHO WORKED ON THIS
BILL- I WANT TO THANK THE FACT
THAT THIS IS A BIPARTISAN-
EFFORT. AND I RESPECTFULLY
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE

I'M GONNA GIVE EVERYBODY A

THEN I'M SURE WE'LL MOVE TO THE-
NEXT ITEM THANKS EVERYBODY FOR
PARTICIPATING IN WHAT WAS AN
ANIMATED DISCUSSION.
ALL RIGHTY WELCOME BACK HERE SO
WE'RE I DON'T HAVE A SCRIPTS. I
DON'T KNOW WHY NO I KNOW THAT
BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
RECOMMENDATION IS OKAY ITEM
NUMBER TWO. SB. THREE THREE
NINETY NINE AND THE
RECOMMENDATION IS DUE PASSED THE
SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
WITH THAT CENTER WILL HOP YOU
MAY PROCEED THANK YOU I CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE AND
STAFF MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC I'M
HERE TO PRESENT SB THREE NINE
NINE WHICH WOULD PREVENT
EMPLOYERS FROM COERCING WORKERS
INTO LISTENING TO THEIR VIEWS ON
POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS ISSUES SB
THREE NINE NINE SIMPLY CLARIFIES
THAT WORKERS HAVE THE FREEDOM TO
REFUSE TO ATTEND MANDATORY
MEETINGS OR LISTEN TO
COMMUNICATIONS. IN WHICH THEIR
EMPLOYER IS EXPRESSING THEIR
PERSONAL VIEWS ON RELIGIOUS OR
POLITICAL MATTERS INCLUDING
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION OF
POLITICAL PARTIES OR UNIONS
THESE MEETINGS ARE OFTEN
REFERRED TO AS CAPTIVE AUDIENCE
MEETINGS BECAUSE ALTHOUGH NOT
JOB RELATED WORKERS ARE NOT
PERMITTED TO LEAVE OR NOT ATTEND
WITHOUT FACING DISCIPLINE OR
OTHER ADVERSE ACTION. IN MANY
WORKPLACES EMPLOYEES ARE AT WILL
AND CAN BE FIRED AT ANY TIME FOR
ALMOST ANY REASON THEREFORE
PROVIDING EMPLOYERS WITH
TREMENDOUS POWER TO PRESSURE
WORKERS TO DO AS THEY SAY
IMAGINE THAT YOU ARE AT WORK IN
YOUR BOSS CALLS YOU INTO A
MANDATORY ALL STAFF MEETING AT
THE MEETING THE BOSS ASK YOU TO
VOTE FOR PROPOSITION THAT YOU
OPPOSE YOU TRY TO LEAVE BUT-
TOLD YOU WOULD BE READING UP AND
POSSIBLY FIRED. IF YOU LEAVE AND
THIS IS WHAT WORKERS ARE FACING
ON THE JOB TODAY. CALIFORNIA HAS
LONG PRIDED ITSELF AS A
SANCTUARY FOR WORKERS REGARDLESS
OF RACE GENDER SEXUAL
ORIENTATION RELIGION. OR
POLITICAL LEANINGS THEREFORE IN
KEEPING WITH THAT TRADITION IT
IS IMPORTANT THAT WORKERS OF ALL
RELIGIONS AND POLITICAL
PERSPECTIVES ARE FREE TO GO TO
WORK WITHOUT FEELING COERCED
INTO LISTENING TO THE POLITICAL
OR RELIGIOUS. LEANINGS OF THEIR
EMPLOYER AGAINST THEIR WILL.
THIS BILL HAS EXEMPTIONS TO
ENSURE THAT EMPLOYERS CAN
COMMUNICATE INFORMATION THEY'RE
REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROVIDE OR
ANY INFORMATION THAT IS
NECESSARY FOR WORKERS TO PERFORM
THEIR JOB DUTIES. LIKEWISE
NOTHING IN SB THREE NINE NINE.
PREVENTS EMPLOYERS FROM
COMMUNICATING THEIR PERSONAL
POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
TO THEIR WORKERS IT SIMPLY
CLARIFIES THEY CANNOT REQUIRE
WORKERS TO ATTEND. MEETINGS TO
DISCUSS RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL
MATTERS THAT ARE NOT GERMANE TO
THE WORK THE DEAL. AS SB THREE
NINE NINE MOVES FORWARD THE
BILL'S SPONSORS AND I LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH RELEVANT
STAKEHOLDERS IN OPPOSITION TO
ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS. WITH ME
IN PERSON TO TESTIFY TODAY'S
DARROW PRE PIERCE A WORKER AT
THE STARBUCKS. HERE IN
SACRAMENTO AND SERRA FLOCKS ON
BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION. RIGHT EACH SPEAKER
GETS TWO MINUTES APIECE. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS DARRYL PEARCE
AND I'VE BEEN A PRIEST AT
STARBUCKS FOR OVER TWO YEARS
HERE IN SACRAMENTO. I'M AT
NINETEENTH AND J. NOW BUT SOME
OF YOU MAY RECOGNIZE ME FROM
SOMETHING ELSE. MY COWORKERS AND
I STARTED ORGANIZING IN JANUARY
TO FORMING UNIONS TO IMPROVE THE
MOST BASIC WORKING CONDITIONS IN
OUR STORE. WHEN MANAGEMENT FOUND
OUT WE WERE ORGANIZING THEY
BEGIN TO OVERSTEP THAT PROTECTED
RIGHT BY HOLDING MEETINGS TO
PUSH STARBUCKS CORPORATE MESSAGE
THAT A NO VOTE TO UNIONS IS OUR
BEST OPTION. THIS SAME TACTIC
CALLED CAPTIVE AUDIENCE MEETINGS
WAS ALSO USED HEAVILY AT THE
SEVEN THING CASE STARBUCKS
LOCATION. STARBUCKS OFTEN USES
THIS TACTIC IN STORES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY WHEREVER PRIEST AS ARE
ORGANIZING TO COLLECTIVELY
IMPROVE OUR CONDITIONS. THIS
CREATES A NARRATIVE THAT PAINTS
UNIONS AS AN UNEQUIVOCALLY BAD
DECISION THAT COULD DO NOTHING
BUT HURT US. WE WERE TOLD THAT
IF WE UNIONIZED WE COULD LOSE
OUR CURRENT BENEFITS MANAGERS
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HELP US ON
THE FLOOR. AND THAT WE WOULD NO
LONGER BE ABLE TO PICK UP SHIFTS
AT OTHER TEAM LOCATIONS. THEY'RE
CALLED CAPTIVE AUDIENCE MEETINGS
BECAUSE WE DON'T FEEL WE'RE FREE
TO LEAVE OR TO NOT LISTEN. THE
MEETINGS WERE INTIMIDATING AND
MADE OUR COMPLEX JOB EVEN HARDER
BECAUSE WHILE TRYING TO MENTALLY
KEEP TRACK OF THE MYRIAD TASKS
THAT MAKE UP OUR DAY. WE WERE
SIMULTANEOUSLY FORCE FED
DISTRACTING AND DISTURBING
MISINFORMATION AS A SCARE TACTIC
. IT WAS ESPECIALLY DISCOURAGING
THAT MANAGEMENT COURSE ARE SHIFT
SUPERVISORS. WE HAVE TO SEE AND
WORK WITH EVERY DAY INTO HOLDING
THESE MEETINGS INSTEAD OF
CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES. THIS
QUICKLY LED TO SHIFT SUPERVISORS
HAVING FREE REIGN TO OUTRIGHT
BULLY ANY PRO UNION EMPLOYEE
WITH NO CONSEQUENCES. IT IS
DEMORALIZING KNOWING YOUR
EMPLOYER IS ACTIVELY TRYING TO
CHEAT YOU OUT OF HAVING A SAFE.
FUNCTIONAL WORKPLACE AND THERE'S
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. WE
ARE ASKING FOR THE SUN AND THE
MOON. WE'RE ASKING FOR BASIC
PROTECTIONS LIKE SECURITY
CAMERAS FOR SAFETY. AND ENOUGH
REGULAR HOURS TO QUALIFY FOR
HEALTH CARE- TODAY TO ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT IN SENATE BILL
THREE NINETY NINE. THAT WOULD
PROHIBIT EMPLOYERS FROM
REQUIRING WORKERS LIKE MYSELF TO
ATTEND THESE COERCIVE CAPTIVE
AUDIENCE MEETINGS THANK YOU SO
MUCH. THANK YOU NEXT BIGGER.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS THERE ARE
FLOCKS CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION A SPONSOR CO SPONSOR
OF THE BILL. IN TWENTY NINETEEN
SHELL OIL CO WORST WORKERS TO
ATTEND A TRUMP REELECTION RALLY.
IN TWENTY TWENTY UBER REQUIRED
DRIVERS BEFORE THEY CAN LOG ON
TO THE APP TO WORK. TO WATCH A
YES ON PROP TWENTY TWO VIDEO.
THESE ARE JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF
POLITICS PERMEATING THE
WORKPLACE IN A COERCIVE MANNER.
SB THREE NINETY NINE IS A VERY
SIMPLE FIX TO ADDRESS THIS. IT
SIMPLY SAYS EMPLOYERS CANNOT
COERCE. INTIMIDATE OR BULLY.
WORKERS INTO LISTENING TO THEIR
VIEWS ON POLITICS AND RELIGION
THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO THEIR
JOB. NOW THE OPPOSITION IS GOING
TO COME UP AND SAY THAT THIS
BILL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THAT
IT VIOLATES THE FIRST AMENDMENT
. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
EMPLOYERS FREE SPEECH DOES NOT
INFRINGE UPON SPEECH WHAT IT
DOES IS WIN SPEECH. CROSSES OVER
INTO COURSE OF CONDUCT THAT IS
WHAT THE BILL REGULATE IS
CONDUCT AND EVEN UNDER THE FIRST
AMENDMENT THE SUPREME COURT HAS
HELD THAT NO PERSON HAS THE
RIGHT TO PRESS EVEN GOOD IDEAS.
ON TO AN UNWILLING LISTENER
SOMEONE WHO IS UNABLE TO DECLINE
RECEIVING THAT MESSAGE THERE'S
CLEARLY THE ABILITY FOR STATES
TO REGULATE IN THIS AREA AND
PROTECT WORKERS FROM COURSE OF
CONDUCT WHILE PRESERVING
EMPLOYERS FREE SPEECH TO TALK
ABOUT. ANYTHING THEY WANT AS
LONG AS IT'S NOT MANDATORY.
THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO RAGE AT
REYES- PREEMPTION UNDER THE
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT
THIS BILL CLEARLY FALLS WITHIN
THE TWO EXEMPTIONS ONE WHICH IS
TO REGULATE AND FOR THE STATE TO
REGULATE AND SET MINIMUM
STANDARDS WHICH YOU ALL DO EVERY
DAY. VOTING ON MINIMUM WAGE
OVERTIME AND THE MANY OTHER
BILLS THAT COME BEFORE THIS
BODY. AND THE OTHER IS ON VERY
DEEPLY ROOTED AND FELT LOCAL
ISSUES AND CALIFORNIA HAS A
STRONG HISTORY OF DOING THIS IN
PROTECTING EMPLOYEES ABILITY TO
BE INVOLVED IN POLITICS- OUTSIDE
OF WORK- AND THAT IS THE
EVIDENCE IN LABOR CODE ELEVEN OH
ONE ELEVEN OH TWO. SO THIS IS A
VERY SIMPLE BILL A FIX TO THE
PROBLEM OF FORCED COMMUNICATION
IN THE WORKPLACE AND WE URGE
YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ANY ME TO SIN IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL. MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
MAP RIGHT HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
TEAMSTERS CO SPONSORS OF THE
BILL IS NOT AS WELL AS UNITE
HERE THE MACHINISTS AMALGAMATED
TRANSIT UNION ENGINEERS AND

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN BURST
OF SERVERS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA PROFESSIONAL
FIREFIGHTERS AND SUPPORT. THE Q.
DO WE HAVE ANY WE DO HAVE A LEAD
WHEN THIS IN OPPOSITION. MAY
PROCEED WHEN YOU'RE READY THANK
YOU GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN
BERS ACTUALLY OFTEN ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL AS A JOB KILLER. MY SECOND
WITNESSES STUCK IN ANOTHER
COMMITTEE SO I'M GONNA TRY AND
GET THIS- SORRY CONCERNS ARE TWO
FOLD THE FIRST IS- WE DO
STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS LAW
IS PREEMPTED. BY THE NLRA THAT
HAS BEEN THE OPINION OF COURTS
THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S AND
LEGAL EXPERTS. REGARDING THE
FIRST AMENDMENT THIS IS A
CONTENT BASED RESTRICTION WHICH
IS PRESUMED TO BE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL YOU COULD HELP
REQUIRE A STAFF MEETING TO TALK
ABOUT THE WEATHER. THE
SACRAMENTO KINGS FOR NEEDING-
ANYTHING ELSE NOT COVERED IN
THIS BILL BUT NOTHING RELATED TO
POLITICS WHICH AND RESPECTFUL
DISAGREEMENT WAYS TO FIND IN
THIS BILL IS ACTUALLY OFTEN A
VERY RELEVANT TO THE WORKPLACE.
THE SECOND IS REALLY THE BREATH
OF THE BILL IN THE CHILLING
IMPACT THAT WE THINK IT WILL
HAVE ON EMPLOYER SPEECH. WHO IS
A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE- DURING
HOPE IT A LOT OF OUR WORKERS WE
FOUND ACTUALLY WANTED TO HEAR
MORE FROM THEIR EMPLOYER. ABOUT
PENDING REGULATIONS PENDING
LEGISLATION HOW THAT COULD
IMPACT THE WORKPLACE WE WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO REQUIRE EMPLOYEES
TO ATTEND THOSE MEETINGS WHICH
COULD ALSO BE A SAFETY ISSUE.
AND IT'S EASY TO SEE PERHAPS
SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T BELIEVE IN
CODE OR DIDN'T THINK IT WAS VERY
SERIOUS IS NOT THINKING THAT WAS
NECESSARY TO THEIR JOB DUTIES.
CONSIDER A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT WANTS TO
SUPPORT A BALLOT MEASURE OR
PIECE OF LEGISLATION THE WOULD
BE HESITANT TO DISSEMINATE ANY
COMMUNICATION ABOUT THAT TO THE
WORKERS. HOW WOULD YOU
IMPLEMENTED IF YOU HAD SOME
WORKERS SAYING THEY WANTED TO
HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS AND SOME
WHO DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING
AT ALL. OFTENTIMES TO SOMETIMES
THESE ARE SPONTANEOUS
CONVERSATIONS THAT HAPPEN IN A
HALLWAY WHERE AN EMPLOYEE COULD
ARGUE. THEY FELT COMPELLED TO
SAVE A SUPERVISOR WAS PRESENT-
SO FOR THOSE REASONS
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NO VOTE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. AT THIS
POINT WE WILL TAKE A ME TOO

THANK YOU FOR TRAVELING THANK
YOU FOR COMING TODAY AND THANK
YOU FOR COMING OTHER DAYS- YOU
LOOK GREAT. AND I'M VERY PROUD
TO BE STANDING BY YOUR SIDE. I'D
LIKE TO- I THANK THE COMMITTEE-
FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL ANALYSIS I
THANK THE CHAIR FOR NEGOTIATING
. ALL AMENDMENTS TO THIS BILL
WHICH I WILL GO IN A LITTLE BIT
LATER I JUST WANT TO ESTABLISH
REMIND OURSELVES WHAT IS IN MY
OPINION AND THE OPINION OF OUR
COMMUNITY SO MUCH AT STAKE.
HOMELESSNESS IS AFFECTING ALL OF
OUR COMMUNITIES THE NUMBER OF
FAMILIES BECOMING ON HOUSE IS
GROWING IN CAMP MINTS ARE
BECOMING EVER LARGER AND THERE
ARE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE DYING
ON OUR STREETS. TO EFFECTIVELY
ADDRESS THE HOMELESSNESS CRISIS
WE HAVE TO BEGIN BY SLOWING DOWN
THE NUMBER OF FAMILIES AND
INDIVIDUALS WERE FALLING INTO
HOMELESSNESS. CLEARLY OUR
CURRENT RENTER PROTECTIONS ARE
NOT ENOUGH OR WOULD BE WOULD NOT
BE SEEN SUCH A RAPID RISE IN
HOMELESSNESS THIS BILL.
ADDRESSES GAPS IN OUR CURRENT
RENTER PROTECTIONS IN ORDER TO
SLOW THE FLOW OF FAMILIES INTO
HOMELESSNESS. DESPITE ALL THE
POLICY INTERVENTIONS AND MONEY
THAT THE LEGISLATOR- SPENT ON
ADDRESSING THE HOMELESS CRISIS
THE NUMBER OF CALIFORNIANS
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IS
110057% OF WHAT IT WAS IN TWENTY
TEN. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS IN THE
LATEST HOMELESSNESS COUNT THEY
WERE MORE HOUSED ON HOUSE
INDIVIDUALS THAT RESIDE AND
ENTIRE CITIES OF OCEANSIDE
SALINAS AND GARDEN GROVE. THESE
DISTURBING TRENDS WILL CONTINUE
TO WORSEN IF WE DO NOT
EFFECTIVELY I'M PROACTIVELY
ADDRESS THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM
AND THAT IS HOUSING
AFFORDABILITY. AND PROTECTIONS
THE STATE'S EVICTION PROTECTIONS
ENDED IN JUNE OF LAST YEAR MANY
LOCAL MORATORIUMS ARE SET TO
EXPIRE IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY
THIS BILL PROVIDES CALIFORNIA
CALIFORNIANS SOME HOUSING
STABILITY AND REDUCES THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE ON THE BRINK OF
HOMELESSNESS WE SHOULD NOT LET
ANY MORE FAMILIES GET PUSHED OUT
ONTO THE STREETS. IT
DESTABILIZES THEIR LIVES IT
DESTABILIZES THEIR KIDS
EDUCATION IT CAUSES TRAUMA AND
AFFECTS THEIR COMMUNITY AS A
WHOLE LET'S BE PROACTIVE IN
ENSURING THAT EVERYONE HAS A
PLACE EVERYONE HAS A PLACE TO
LIVE. OUR HOME IS SACRED- ARE
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
AND HOW BOUNCER QUESTIONS ARE
SASHA HARNDEN INNER CITY
LAWCENTER AND GINGER HIT SKI HIS
SKI DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
DEVELOPER PROPERTY OWNERS AND
LANDLORDS AND THEN MISTER CHAIR
AFTER THE WITNESSES I'D LIKE TO-
ADDRESS THE AMENDMENTS THAT I
PROPOSE. IS THAT MAKES SENSE FOR
THE ORDER THAT WE DO THIS SENATE
ALSO HOWEVER YOU'D LIKE TO
PROCEED OKAY CAN I HAVE YOUR
WITNESS OF JUST SO I UNDERSTAND
THE TWO PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
THEN YOU'RE GOING TO PROVIDE
THAT INTERVENTION OR AFTER ALL
THE SUPPORT WITNESSES- NO JUST
AFTER THE TWO PRIMARY ALL RIGHT
SIDE RIGHT- WHEN WE GO AHEAD
HAVE YOU TWO PRIMARY WITNESSES
TESTIFY. YES OKAY. YES PLEASE.
BEFORE YOU GO JUST IN CASE I'VE
CONFUSED THINGS OF THE SPORT IN
OPPOSITION WITNESSES WHO WERE
PRESENT THE BUILDING WE'RE ALL
TESTIFIED- NOT AT THE SAME TIME
BUT THAT THEY'LL ALL APPROACH
THE MICROPHONE IN SUPPORT AND
OPPOSITION THE JUST ANNOUNCED
THEIR POSITION- BUT WE'RE NOT
GOING TO SEGREGATE SUPPORT IN
OPPOSITION THAT MAKES SENSE.
AFTERNOON SENATORS CHAIR AMBER.
MY NAME IS GINGER HAD SCHEME-
WITH HICHKI DEVELOPMENT. I AM
HERE TODAY WITH GRATITUDE AND
HUMILITY. AND IN SUPPORT OF SB
FIVE SIX SEVEN. MY COMPANY HAS
KEY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION
BUILDS OWNS AND OPERATES MULTI
FAMILY PROPERTIES. MY PORTFOLIO
INCLUDES EIGHT APARTMENT
COMPLEXES THAT I'VE DEALT.
TOTALING FOUR HUNDRED AND NINETY
EIGHT UNITS. I ALSO ON
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE AND
SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS. MY
PORTFOLIO EXCEEDS A HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS IN VALUE.
I HAVE INVESTORS TO ANSWER TO I
HAVE EMPLOYEES TO TAKE CARE OF.
AND I AM HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY
TO ASK THAT YOU SUPPORT. FIVE
SIX. MY GRATITUDE COMES FROM
WATCHING MY STATE'S LEGISLATURE
PASSED HOUSING PRODUCTION BILL
AFTER HOUSING PRODUCTION BILL WE
HAVE NEEDED THIS FOR SO MANY
YEARS THINGS ARE SO DIFFERENT
NOW THAN THEY WERE IN THE MID
NINETIES I COULD HAVE NEVER
IMAGINED THE KINDS OF BILLS THAT
WOULD PASS. OF THE STATE
LEGISLATURE. YOU'VE GIVEN US THE
TOOLS THAT WE NEED TO BUILD OUR
WAY OUT OF THIS CRISIS. AND FIVE
SIX SEVEN COMPLIMENTS ALL OF THE
PRODUCTION BILLS THAT YOU'VE
PASSED. IT'S GOING TO TAKE US
TIME TO BUILD. UNTIL THEN OUR
MOST VALUABLE NAME EXCUSE ME
VULNERABLE INVALUABLE VULNERABLE
NEIGHBORS ARE IN A PRECARIOUS
SITUATION. WE NEED YOUR
PROTECTION. THEY HAVE NO IDEA
THAT SOMEONE CHASING YIELDS CAN
COMPLETELY UPROOT THEIR LIVES
AND DEVASTATE THEM. LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS NEED YOUR HELP AS
WELL THIS BILL WILL HELP STEM
HOMELESSNESS AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE IN CRISIS WITH
HUNTING TO ADDRESS SO MANY
HOMELESS CITIZENS. MOST
IMPORTANTLY THIS BILL DOES NOT
STOP ME FROM DOING MY JOB. MY
JOB IS TO OPERATE HOUSING. AND
THAT CASH FLOW AND OPERATE
PROPERLY THIS BILL WILL NOT STOP
ME FROM PROPERLY CASH FLOWING.
SO THEREFORE I ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY FOR FIVE SIX SEVEN
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD
AFTERNOON TURN MEMBERS SUCH A
HARD AND I'M A SENIOR PUBLIC
POLICY ADVOCATE AT THE INNER
CITY LAW CENTER IN LOS ANGELES.
I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT SENATE BILL
FIVE SIX SEVEN. SB FIVE SIX
SEVEN MAKES IMPORTANT
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TENANT
PROTECTION ACT OF TWENTY
NINETEEN WHICH I HAD THE HONOR
OF WORKING ON MY PREVIOUS ROLE
AT THE WAY WESTERN CENTER ON LAW
PERFECT. THIS BILL MAKES CHANGES
TO THE T. PA TO REFLECT LESSONS
LEARNED FROM ITS IMPLEMENTATION
AND THE CHANGE REALITY WE ALL
FACE POSTCODE NINETEEN. SB FIVE
SIX SEVEN ADDRESSES LOOPHOLES
AND UNFORESEEN FLAWS IN THE TPS
JUST CAUSE PROVISIONS. WHICH
ALLOW FOR EVICTIONS FOR
LEGITIMATE REASONS SO LONG AS
THOSE REASONS ARE STATED UP
FRONT. SB FIVE SIX SEVEN REMOVED
THE ONE YEAR DELAY FOR NEWER
TENANTS WITH RESPECT TO THE
RIGHT TO JUST BECAUSE- THIS IS
APPROPRIATE BECAUSE THE TVA'S
ALLOWABLE REASONS FOR EVICTION
ALLOW ALANLAR TO ADDRESS ANY
PROBLEM THAT MAY ARISE ON THEIR
PROPERTY. AND IS NECESSARY GIVEN
THE MANY HOUSEHOLDS THAT HAVE
BEEN FORCED TO RECONFIGURE
DURING COVET TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
AND OR CARE FOR SICK FAMILY.
THIS CHANGE ALSO HELPS COMBAT
THE RAMPANT TENANT HARASSMENT
DISCRIMINATION AND INFORMAL
EVICTIONS THAT WE'VE WITNESSED
ON THE GROUND. BY THOSE
FRUSTRATED BY COVERED EMERGENCY
PROTECTIONS. THIS BILL MAKES KEY
CHANGES TO THE NO FAULT REASONS
FOR EVICTION TO PREVENT FRAUD
AND ABUSE AND DISHONESTY AND
EVICTING TENANTS WHO'VE MET
THEIR RENTAL OBLIGATIONS. WITH
RESPECT TO SUBSTANTIAL
RENOVATION. WE HAVE SEEN ABUSES
IN TWO WAYS- BOTH CLAIMED
RENOVATIONS THAT NEVER
MATERIALIZE BUT YET GIVE THE
BASIS FOR AN EVICTION ENFORCE
FAMILY OUT- AND ALSO DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE OVER THE COURSE OF
THE PANDEMIC WHICH SHOULD HAVE
BEEN PERFORMED REGULARLY. BUT IS
NOW GIVING RISE TO THE PERMANENT
EVICTION OF FAMILIES- WHO SHOULD
HAVE THE BENEFIT. OF THAT
MAINTENANCE- BY FAR MORE
DETAILED REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN
IN PLACE FOR THOUSANDS OF UNITS
IN THE COMMUNITY WHERE I WORK IN
LOS ANGELES. WITHOUT PREVENTING
NEEDED UPGRADES AND REPAIRS WE
FEEL THIS IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT TO PROVIDE. PREVENT
ABUSES- AND ENSURE FAMILIES CAN
STAY HOUSE. WITH RESPECT TO
OWNER MOVE INS AND REMOVAL OF
UNITS FROM THE RENTAL MARKET. SB
FIVE SIX SEVEN ALSO IMPORTS
SUCCESSFUL PROVISIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN IN PLACE IN SOME
JURISDICTIONS FOR YEARS. TO
ENSURE. MOVING EVICTIONS AND
THOSE BASED ON WITHDRAWAL OUR IS
FRAUDULENTLY TERRIFIC TENANTS.
WHEN NO SUCH MOVE IN OR
WITHDRAWAL IS INTENDED- AND
FINALLY THE BILL IMPORTANTLY
ALLOWS FOR ENFORCEMENT TO
EFFECTUATE THE TENANT PROTECTION
ACT AND MAKE ITS PROMISE REAL
FOR VULNERABLE TENANTS. TENANTS
HAVE VERY LITTLE RECOURSE ONCE
THEY HAVE BEEN EVICTED- EVEN IF
THAT IS UNLAWFUL EVICTION OR
INAPPROPRIATE EVICTION- IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE CREATE A
CULTURE OF COMPLIANCE. THAT
ENSURES THAT THOSE LANDLORDS WHO
ARE FOLLOWING THE LAW AND
MEETING THEIR OBLIGATIONS HAVE
AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD BY
ADDRESSING THOSE WHO MAY FLOOD
TENANTS RIGHTS AND LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS. THREE RESPECTFULLY
URGE YOUR AYE VOTE- ON THIS VERY
IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION
AND THANK SENATOR ALSO. THANK
YOU. ALL RIGHT BACK TO YOU
SOONER THE RUSSELL YES- SO I
WANT TO- THE MAKE THE-
AMENDMENTS ARE. PROPOSED CHANGES
TO MY BILL- THE MOST IMPORTANT
THAT REMAINS RIGHT NOW OF THE OF
THE LANGUAGE IT REMAINS RIGHT
NOW AND THAT WE NEED TO KEEP
MOVING FORWARD WITH. IS ARE THE
LANDLORD LOOPHOLES THE LOOPHOLES
THAT ALLOW AND LANDLORD TO SAY
THAT. THEIR SON IS GOING TO MOVE
IN BUT IN FACT IT'S USED AS A
LOOPHOLE. TO KICK OUT THE FAMILY
THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE AND USE
THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO RAISE THE
RENT. A LOOPHOLE THAT'S THAT YOU
KNOW THE CURRENT LAW JUST DOES
NOT HAVE THE TEETH THAT IT
TAKES. AND THE PROMISE OF WHAT
WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTIONS
FOR THOSE LANDLORDS. IS NOT
BEING ACHIEVED AND SO WHETHER
IT'S A- THE LANDLORD USING THE
EXCUSE OF MOVING IN THE LANDLORD
USING THE EXCUSE OF RENOVATING
THE LANDLORD USING THE EXCUSE OF
REMOVING THE UNIT AS A RENTAL
UNIT. WE HAVE TO CLOSE THOSE
LOOPS OF WE NEED TO KEEP THAT
MOVING FORWARD. THE OTHER PART
IS THE ENFORCEABILITY IT'S ONE
THING TO OF- HAVE THE EVIDENCE
THAT THE LANDLORD IS VIOLATING
THE LAW BUT ON THE OTHER HAND WE
NEED BETTER ENFORCEMENT. WE
DIDN'T FOR SOME BECAUSE
EVERYBODY DOESN'T HAVE ALL THE
MONEY IN THE RESOURCES IT TAKES
TO DO IT ON THEIR OWN WE NEED
HELP IN THE ENFORCEABILITY IN
THE PRIVATE AND IN THE PUBLIC
SECTOR. UP WITH THAT AND OF WITH
THE- ARE RETURNING THE RENTAL-
CAP TO WHAT IT IS UNDER CURRENT
LAW I PROPOSE THAT WE MOVE
FORWARD- MISTER CHAIR. SO- THIS
IS A- TARGET THAT IS FAST
MOVING- AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE DON'T CREATE FALSE
EXPECTATIONS SO. JUST TO BE
CLEAR THAT. ALL THE PROVISIONS
OF THE BILL- EXCEPT THE
PROVISIONS THAT FOCUS UPON THREE
AREAS ONE WITH THE LANDLORD
RENOVATES AND DOESN'T ACTUALLY
RENOVATE. TO WHERE THE LANDLORD
SAYS EITHER THE LANDLORD OR IS
FAMILIES MOVING IN AND THEY
DON'T MOVE IN. OR THREE WITH THE
LANDLORD SAYS YOU NEED TO MOVE
OUT BECAUSE I'M GONNA PUT ON THE
MARKET AND THEY DON'T ACTUALLY
PUT THE UNIT ON THE MARKET RIGHT
THOSE THREE AREAS. OR THE AREAS
THAT WILL BE FOCUSED UPON MOVING
FORWARD MANY DETAILS YET TO BE
WORKED OUT A NOTE IN THE BILL
THAT FOR EXAMPLE WHEN A LANDLORD
SAYS THEY'RE GOING TO CONVERT
THE PROPERTY. TO SOMETHING FOR
SALE THE CURRENT BILL SAYS TEN
YEARS- SO AGAIN WE DON'T RAISE
FALSE EXPECTATIONS THAT THAT IT
LEAST AS TO ME. TEN YEARS OFF
THE MARKET IS WAY TOO LONG. THE
SAME THING WITH A FAMILY MEMBER
MOVING IN THE CURRENT BILL SAYS
THIRTY SIX MONTHS TO ME THIRTY
SIX MONTHS IS WAY TOO LONG THAT
YOU KNOW SOMEBODY. IT IT IT NEED
NOT NEED NOT BE. OF THIRTY SIX
MONTHS OR TEN YEARS- IN TERMS OF
THE ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM THAT'S
YET TO BE DETERMINED. BUT BUT
I'M OKAY WITH THAT UNDERSTANDING
THAT EVERYTHING IN THE BILL
COMES OUT THE RENTAL CAP IS NOT
MOVE FROM THE CURRENT STATE LAW
EVERYTHING IN THE BILL- THAT
CURRENTLY EXISTS IN THE BILL. IS
NO LONGER MOVING FORWARD- BUT WE
GOING TO FOCUS ON THOSE THREE
YEARS AND IF AND IF WE CAN'T
COME TO SOME UNDERSTANDING IN
THOSE THREE YEARS THAT THE BILL
WILL COME BACK TO THIS COMMITTEE
FOR FURTHER CONSIDERATION IS
THAT. IS THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING
- YES EXCEPT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
THAT LAST PART BECAUSE I HADN'T.
THAT IT COMES BACK TO THIS
COMMITTEE COULD CORRECT THAT
WHAT WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS I JUST
WANNA. WHAT WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE
TO TAKE THE BILL AS IS AND NO NO
I MEAN IN TERMS OF. MOVING
FORWARD- SO THAT THAT THOSE
AREAS THOSE THREE UROLOGISTS
MENTIONS ABILITY THAT WE THAT WE
HAVE TO FOCUS ON THE LANGUAGE-
RIGHT BECAUSE IT'S NOT TO FIND
THAT IT'S WE'RE NOT TAKING THE
LANGUAGE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS
IN THE BILL. THERE'S GOING TO BE
OTHER LANGUAGE IN TERMS OF
ADDRESSING THOSE THREE AREAS
LEAST THAT'S MY VIEW. AND IF WE
CAN'T COME TO SOME AGREEMENT
THAT YOU AGREE THAT THAT THE
BILL WILL COME BACK TO
COMMITTEE. FOR FURTHER
CONSIDERATION. DOES THAT MEAN.
THIS IS. LIKE RIGHT NOW DOES
THAT NO NOT NOT RIGHT NOW THAT
MEANS THAT MEANS FOR THE END OF
THE SESSION OR THAT MEANS- I'M
NOT SURE IF THIS BILL GOES TO
APPROPRIATIONS BILL CERTAINLY
BEFORE IT GOES TO THE FLOOR.
OKAY SO BEFORE IT GOES TO
APPROPRIATIONS OKAY THAT. ONE
SECOND SURE SURE. BEFORE IT'S
VOTED ON APPROPRIATIONS THAT THE
DETAILS IN THERE ARE MANY AND
THEN- THAT THOSE DETAILS ARE
GREED UPON. IF THEY'RE NOT
AGREED UPON THEN THE BILL COMES
BACK TO THIS COMMITTEE- FOR YOU
TO ADVOCATE ANYWAY YOU'D LIKE
BUT- BUT THAT THAT WE WERE
RETAIN. JURISDICTION AT LEAST
UNTIL IT GETS TO APPROPRIATIONS.
ARE YOU YOU'RE YOU'RE AGREEABLE
THAT HOLD ON ONE. THAT TURNED.
OKAY I THINK IN TERMS OF THE
LAST SIR SURE ONE SECOND SAN
ANDREAS.
ALL RIGHT THE FOR AVOIDANCE OF
DOUBT AND THIS IS I THINK THIS
REALLY SAID IT WITH RESPECT TO
VIEWING MAKING SAUSAGE IN LAW
THAT THEY'RE SIMILAR- THAT. FOR
RIGHT NOW WE WERE GONNA IT WILL
REMOVE THE RENT CAPS IN THE BILL
. THE BILL THEN WILL MOVE TO
APPROPRIATE SERVING THAT PASSED
OUT OF COMMITTEE WILL MOVE TO
APPROPRIATIONS THAT YOU AGREE
NOT TO MOVE THE BILL OUT OF
APPROPRIATIONS OR IF FOR
WHATEVER REASON IT DOESN'T GO TO
APPROPRIATIONS NOT TO TAKE IT TO
THE FLOOR UNTIL THE DETAILS IN
THE THREE AREAS THAT WE
DISCUSSED ARE WORKED OUT AND
AGREED UPON IF THEY'RE NOT
AGREED UPON THAT YOU'LL BRING US
BACK. TO COMMITTEE THANK YOU NOT
MOVE YOU WON'T MOVE IT IF NOT
AGREED UPON OKAY- AGAIN JUST IN
TERMS OF THE THREE AREAS. PLUS
ENFORCEABILITY ENFORCEABILITY IS
YET TO BE DETERMINED CORRECT BY
SAYING THAT YES THAT'S AN ISSUE
THAT WE'RE GOING TO KEEP WORKING
NOT THAT'S AN ISSUE WE'RE GONNA
KEEP THOSE THERE'S BEEN NO
AGREEMENT. AS TO HOW THIS MAY BE
ENFORCED- RIGHT SO RIGHT IS
THAT. YES YES ALL RIGHT THAT IN
BEFORE IN BEFORE WE RIGHT BEFORE
WE TURN TO THE OPPOSITION
BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A DRAMATIC
MODIFICATION OF THE BILL. OF AND
UP THERE SOME COMMITTEE MEMBERS
THAT- BECAUSE THIS IS DONE. YES
IN WHICH RELATIVELY RECENTLY
YES- WHEN ASKED IF COMMITTEE
MEMBERS HAVE A QUESTION BEFORE
WE MOVE INTO OPPOSITION. THE
DON'T KNOW QUESTIONS OKAY ANY
QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE MEMBER
I'M SORRY COULD YOU JUST EXPLAIN
WHAT THIS BILL DOES NOW. SO
HERE'S- ANNA AND I'M FORTUNATELY
I HAVE AN EXPERT SITTING NEXT TO
ME HERE- SO IF I MAKE A MISTAKE
WE WILL CORRECT IT NOT A LOT OF
THAT I THINK IT'S USEFUL FOR THE
WHOLE COMMITTEE TO HEAR THIS. SO
THE BILL THAT'S BEFORE US RIGHT
NOW. BEFORE IT MOVES OUT OF
COMMITTEE- IN THE VOTE WILL TAKE
WILL BE ON A BILL. THAT
CURRENTLY EXISTS IN ITS FORM IN
ITS PRINTED FORM EXCEPT FOR THE
RED CAP. OKAY SO THE RENT CAP.
WILL BE REMOVED SO IT REMAINS AS
STATE LAW EXISTS RIGHT NOW. 10%
OKAY. THAT THAT AND THEN AS THE
MEN THE BILL MOVES TO
APPROPRIATIONS. AND WHAT CENTER
THE ROSSES AGREED TO DO IS
BEFORE IT MOVES OUT OF
APPROPRIATIONS OR BEFORE IT
MOVES TO THE FLOOR. THAT ALL
THOSE OTHER AREAS EXCEPT FOR THE
THREE ITEMS THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT. ARE THEN REMOVED FROM THE
BILL AND THE THREE ITEMS THAT WE
TALKED ABOUT. BEING LANDLORD. OF
MAKING REPRESENTATIONS GONNA
MOVE IN THE OF THEIR THEIR
FAMILY THEY DON'T DO IT. THEY'RE
GONNA TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET AND
THEY DON'T DO IT OR THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO REHAB. AND THEY DON'T
DO IT BUT HOW THAT'S GOING TO BE
ENFORCED IS YET TO BE
DETERMINED. AND WHAT THE DETAILS
ARE I'VE ALREADY EXPRESSED THAT
MY VIEWS TEN YEARS IS TOO LONG
WITH RESPECT TAKEN OFF THE
MARKET THE THIRTY SIX MONTHS IS
TOO LONG WITH RESPECT TO HAVING
A RELATIVE OR SOMEBODY MOVE IN.
SO I DON'T I DON'T KNOW DOES
THAT ANSWER QUESTIONS CENTERMAN
. AS SOMEONE I'M I'M STILL. HI
THIS IS SUCH A BIG CHANGE I JUST
WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT YEAH.
OKAY ARE UNDERSTANDABLY ALL
RIGHT. OKAY OTHER QUESTIONS NO
OTHER QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE
MEMBERS LET'S- NOW WILL TURN TO
THE OPPOSITION AND- AND I
UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION HAS
HAD TIME TO DIGEST THESE
DETAILS- DHUMAL COLOR. OKAY
THANK YOU MA'AM GO AHEAD. THANK
YOU A GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS ENDEAVOR CARL TO
WITH THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION. I WANT TO FIRST
STATE- TO MAKE CLEAR THAT SENATE
BILL FIVE SIX SEVEN AMENDS A LAW
THAT WAS CREATED. BY AB FOURTEEN
EIGHTY TWO. FOURTEEN EIGHTY TWO
WAS A BIG DEAL. I CANNOT
OVERSTATE- THAT FOR OUR
ORGANIZATION TO HAVE COME TO THE
TABLE. TO SET RENT CAPS AND JUST
CAUSE EVICTION WAS UNPRECEDENTED
. AND AS YOU KNOW FOURTEEN
EIGHTY TWO WAS SIGNED INTO LAW
UNTIL AND IT WENT INTO EFFECT IN
TWENTY TWENTY. JUST AS COVERT
NINETEEN. TOOK HOLD. WE CAME TO
THE TABLE AGAIN. IN GOOD FAITH
AND WE WORKED ON CODE NINETEEN
PROTECTIONS THE PROTECTED
TENANTS FROM EVICTION AND WE DID
THAT TWICE TO ADDITIONAL LAWS.
IN SOME CITIES AND COUNTIES
TODAY THOSE PROTECTIONS ARE
STILL IN PLACE. TENTATIVE DATE
BEEN ABLE TO CERTIFY WITH LITTLE
PROOF OR EVIDENCE THAT THEY'VE
BEEN NEGATIVELY AFFECTED BY
KOBE. IN SOME COUNTIES LIKE
ALAMEDA COUNTY TENANTS HAVE BEEN
LIVING SOMETIMES HAVE BEEN
LIVING RENT FREE FOR THREE
YEARS. OWNERS HAVE LOST MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS AND SOME OWNERS ARE
LOSING THEIR HOMES. THE STATE
AND FEDERAL. GOVERNMENT GAVE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PAY FOR
RENT. AND YET SOMETIMES NEVER
APPLIED. AND STILL LIVE WITHOUT
FEAR OF BEING MOVED OUT. THE
IRONY OF EIGHTY FOURTEEN EIGHTY
TWO IS THAT IN OUR MINDS IT LEFT
A HUGE HOLE. THAT WE WOULD HAVE
PREFERRED TO FIX AND THAT WHOLE
IS THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. CAN
STILL PASS THEIR OWN LAWS ON
RATE CAPS AND THEY CAN STILL
PASS THEIR OWN LAWS. AND MORE
STRINGENT LAWS AND JUST CAUSE
EVICTION. TO COME HERE NOW AND
CLAIM THAT FOURTEEN EIGHTY TWO
NEEDS AMENDMENTS. MORE EXTREME
EVICTION PROTECTIONS IS NOT
BACKED BY DATA AND IT REACHES
THE LEGISLATIVE AGREEMENT THAT
WE REACHED IN GOOD FAITH ON A
HISTORIC LAW. NOW YOU'RE TELLING
US WHY DID YOU EVEN COME TO THE
TABLE YOU'RE SAYING TO US. THAT
WE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THE RULES
ON YOU EVEN THOUGH YOU CAME IN
GOOD FAITH. FOR RESPECTFULLY
ASKING FOR YOUR NO VOTE THANK
YOU. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. OTHERS
IN OPPOSITION PRIMARY WITNESSES
A GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS- CREAM GREASY ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
REALTORS- HERE TODAY IN
OPPOSITION TO- SB FIVE SIXTY
SEVEN- PRIMARILY FOR TWO REASONS
ONE WE BELIEVE- THAT THE BILL
DOES UP AND THE LEGISLATIVE
RECORD THAT WAS REACHED ONLY BE
FOURTEEN EIGHTY TWO. AND TWO WE
BELIEVE THAT THE BILL
SUBSTANTIALLY HARMS A SMALL
HOUSING PROVIDERS- C. R. WAS THE
FIRST BUSINESS INTEREST GROUP TO
COME TO THE TABLE AND EIGHTY
FOURTEEN EIGHTY TWO. IT WAS US
WHO IS THE AUTHOR STAFF AND WAS
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SPONSORS
IN A ROOM ON AN ALMOST DAILY
BASIS- FOR SIX MONTHS EVERY
COMMA DESTRUCTIVE CONJUNCTIVE
SHOULD THE SUBDIVISION BEFORE
PARAGRAPHS FOR JUST ONE
SUBDIVISION IT CETERA- SO I
DEFINITELY DREAMED ABOUT THE
PROPOSED LANGUAGE IN MY SLEEP-
DURING THAT TIME BELIEVE ME-
HAVING SAID THAT THOUGH- NOW.
WE'RE HEARING FROM THE SPONSORS
THEMSELVES AND ALSO WAS NOTED IN
THE ANALYSIS- THAT THE SPONSORS
ASSERT. THAT THE AGREEMENT
REACHED ON AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY
TWO THEY WERE NOT AWARE THAT IT
PROHIBITED REVISIONS- THESE
ABOUT REVISIONS THESE ARE
SUBSTANTIAL CHANGES- CRITICAL
REVISIONS IN AND SMALL CLEANUP
WAS DONE IN AB THIRTY EIGHTY
EIGHT- AUTHORED BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER CHIU IN TWENTY
TWENTY- ALL THE MAJOR
STAKEHOLDERS AGREED. AND THE
AUTHOR- SIGNED OFF AND- THAT
BILL THAT LINK WHICH WAS
ADVANCED UNFOLDED AT THIRTY
EIGHTY EIGHT WHICH IS THE FIRST
OF THREE. A TEMPORARY. VICH
MORATORIUMS THAT WERE PUT INTO
PLACE. NOW THIS- ALONG. AND IT'S
GOING TO. DESTROY SMALL HOUSING
PROVIDERS- AND SO ONE THING THAT
WORD NOW NOW HEARING IN IN REAL
TIME AS YOU SAID MISTER CHAIR
WERE STILL DIGESTING. THE
AMENDMENTS- IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH
THE BILL IS BEING SUBSTANTIALLY
AMENDED. TO LOOK LIKE AB TWENTY
SEVEN THIRTEEN FROM LAST YEAR
WHICH THE SPONSORS ALSO
ADVANCED- AUTHORED BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER WICKS- THE
LEGISLATURE REJECTED THAT BILL.
AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT YOU WILL
REJECT THIS BILL. HERE TODAY-
BECAUSE IT DOES SET. UP IN THE
ACCORD THAT WAS REACHED AND IT
WILL DESTROY SMALL HOUSING
PROVIDERS AND SO WE RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR NOTEBOOK THANK YOU SO
MUCH. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT WE'RE
NOT GOING TO TURN TO WHAT'S
KNOWN AS ME TO TEST MY BOTH THE
SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION WE ASK
THAT YOU APPROACH THE
MICROPHONE. GIVE US YOUR NAME

TOGETHER BUT- QUESTIONS COMMENTS
. CENTER ASHBY. ALL ALL OPENSSH
JESSICA THANK SENATOR GARAGE SO
FOR HER TENACITY AND BRAVERY
HERE AND IN OUR HARD WORK AND
DODD CHAIRMAN NUMBER FOR WORKING
WITH HER ON THIS PACKAGE AND
THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT. I THINK
THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY AND
I KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO WORK
REALLY HARD ON THIS AND IT IT
PROBABLY FEELS A LITTLE
AMBIGUOUS TO PEOPLE THAT'S
BECAUSE SHE'S STILL WORKING
HARD. AND THIS IS JUST THE FIRST
COMMITTEE SO YOU'LL HAVE A
CHANCE TO FLESH THIS OUT IN AND
THEN- I'M SURE I'LL SEE IT AGAIN
AND APPROPRIATIONS AND THEN
PROBABLY ON THE FLOOR SO I JUST
WANT TO. I JUST WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TENACITY AND THAT I
. M. BUT WILLING TO MAKE THE
MOTION FOR THE MODIFIED. OF.
PROPOSAL WE'LL CALL IT LAID OUT
BETWEEN YOU AND SHERMAN NUMBER
BEFORE HE HAD TO LEAVE THE ROOM
AND HE JUST PRESENTING I KNOW
PEOPLE PROBABLY KNOW THAT HE'S
JUST PRESENTING IN ANOTHER SPACE
BUT HE'LL BE BACK. OKAY THANK
YOU. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. AND
I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY THAT
TESTIFIED. AND CAME TO THE
HEARING TODAY BECAUSE THERE WERE
MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE STRONG
FEELINGS AND- JUST APPRECIATE
YOU EXPRESSING THEM. AND IT IS A
GOOD REMINDER. OF WHAT'S GOING
ON AT THE GRASSROOTS LEVEL AND
THEN AND WHAT PEOPLE'S NEEDS
ARE. AND I THINK THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT ISSUE ON THE PROCESS
LEVEL AND I THINK SENATOR
DORADO. HAS MADE THE BEST OF A
SITUATION THAT WAS VERY
DIFFICULT FOR HER. AND THE BILL
THAT WAS REFERRED TO MANY TIMES
WAS NEGOTIATED AND IT WAS
INTERESTING BECAUSE AT THE TIME
I WASN'T IN THE SENATE AND I
WATCHED IT. AND I WAS SURPRISED
THAT SOME PEOPLE GAVE WHAT THEY
GAVE I NEVER THOUGHT WE WOULD
HAVE A BILL. THAT HAD RENT CAPS
IN IT IN ANY WAY AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE MOVED AND I KNOW. THERE'S
SOMEONE THAT'S A REALTOR IN MY
HOME COUNTY THAT CONVINCED HER
REALTORS TO COME ON ON IT AND SO
I THINK THERE'S WHO. THAT WAS
SOME OF THE DIFFICULTY BECAUSE-
THERE'S THIS DEAL THAT WAS MADE
AND TO APPEAR TO COME INTO IT
WHEN EVERYBODY STRETCH. AND
COMPROMISED IS IT TOO. THING AND
I THINK THE MAJOR THINGS THAT
THE CHAIR WORKED OUT WITH
SENATOR DRAWS SO. ARE PLACES
THAT THAT DEAL WASN'T WORKING
AND PLACES WHERE THERE WERE
LOOPHOLES THAT PEOPLE MIGHT BE
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. AND THE-
IMPORTANT THING IS THAT NOW
THERE IS A FORUM. TO DISCUSS
THOSE AMONG THE PARTIES THAT
ISN'T A COMPLETE REALLY. OUR
CAPITULATION OF THE DEAL. IN IT
IS A CHANCE TO SEE IF IN THOSE
PLACES PEOPLE WERE BEING
DISADVANTAGED IN A MAJOR WAY AND
I THINK THE REASON THOSE THREE
OR THERE IS BECAUSE IT WAS
ACTUALLY HAPPENING. IN PLACES
SAID ANALYSTS AT DIFFICULTY. AND
I HAVE TO SAY TO PEOPLE THAT ARE
ORGANIZER'S AND THERE'S A CLEAR
A LOT OF ORGANIZER'S HERE MRS
BEEN. AN ISSUE SINCE I WAS
SELECTED BEFORE MANY OF YOU WERE
BORN TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT. AND
IT'S REALLY DISAPPOINTING
BECAUSE I HAVE TWENTY ONE CITIES
IN MY DISTRICT. AND MY HOME CITY
WHERE I WAS ONCE THE MAYOR SANTA
CRUZ IS PROBABLY THE MOST
PROGRESSIVE OF THE TWENTY ONE.
AND TWO CYCLES AGO IT VOTED DOWN
RENT CONTROL WITH JUST CAUSE
EVICTION WITH 62% NO IN THE MOST
PROGRESSIVE CITY IN MY DISTRICT
SO IT MEANS THAT. THERE'S A LOT
OF WORK TO BE DONE FOR THIS.
STORIES BECAUSE THOSE STORIES
LED TO THE THREE THINGS THAT
SENATOR DRAWS- HAS INNER BILL. A
TO TRY TO FIX AND I HOPE THAT
PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED IN
THE- TWENTY EIGHTEEN.
ARRANGEMENT AND CHIU BILL THAT
ALL MOVED WELL NOW SINCE SOME OF
THE THINGS THEY WERE MOST
CONCERNED ABOUT IN THIS BILL
AREN'T THERE IN THE SAME WAY.
THAT THEY MIGHT ENGAGED TO HAVE
A DISCUSSION ABOUT THOSE THREE
THINGS AND SEE IF THEY FIT THE
OVERALL- THE DID THE OVERALL
FORMULATIONS SO I JUST WANT TO
THANK EVERYBODY. FOR TESTIFYING
FOR SENATOR GARAGE SO FOR
WORKING ON THIS AND- I WILL LOOK
FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THE MOTION
WANTS ME. DO YOU HAVE A MOTION
SO- CENTER DRAWS SO YOU MAY
CLOSE THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
RENTERS IN CALIFORNIA ARE NOT
PROTECTED. AS AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY
TWO PROMISED OR INTENDED. AND
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON IS THOSE
THAT THERE ARE LOOPHOLES WE HAVE
PEOPLE HERE WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO
CAME HERE FROM ALL OVER THE
STATE. WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED IT
EITHER THEY THEMSELVES
PERSONALLY OR A FAMILY MEMBER OR
A NEIGHBOR I'VE GONE THROUGH AND
FELT. WHAT IT MEANS TO END UP
LOSING THEIR PLACE LOSING THEIR
HOME BECAUSE OF THESE LOOPHOLES
AND WE'RE GONNA FIX IT WE'RE
GONNA FIX IT WITH YOUR HELP
WE'RE GOING TO FIX THIS BECAUSE
IT'S WRONG FOR LANDLORDS. TO
PROMISED TO RENOVATE OR REMOVE A
UNIT OR A PROMISE THAT THERE IS
SAY THAT THEY'RE GOING TO MOVE
IN AND THEN END UP USING THAT AS
AN EXCUSE TO BIG PEOPLE AND
RAISE THE RENTS. TOO MUCH OF
THAT IS HAPPENING SO WE'RE ALL
COMMITTED TO CONTINUE WORK THAT
I APPRECIATE WHAT THE CHAIR OF
THE CHAIRS COMMITMENT TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE FACT
THAT THESE LOOPHOLES AND
ENFORCEABILITY JUST IS NOT
HAPPENING. FOR THE BENEFIT OF
THE TENANTS AND THE RENTERS SO
WITH THAT- I APPRECIATE-
EVERYONE'S WORK THE COMMITTEE
THANK YOU SO MUCH- AND- I HOPE
WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ON ON THIS
AND- I DON'T KNOW DO WE HAVE
DIRECTOR REPEAT NO I DON'T I
THINK WE'LL HAVE. THE SECRETARY
READ THE MOTION WHICH WILL
INCLUDE EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN
DISCUSSED HERE TODAY AND IF
YOU'RE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH ANY
THAT SPEAK UP AND THEY WILL GO
TO VOTE. THANKS THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THIS IS FILE ITEM NUMBER
THREE SB FIVE SIX SEVEN BY
SENATOR TO RUSSELL THE MOTION IS
TO PASS AS AMENDED TO SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS. THE AMENDMENT
CHANGES CIVIL CODE SECTION ONE
NINE FOUR SEVEN POINT ONE TWO A
IN THE BILL BACK TO EXISTING LAW

BE NEGOTIATED A LATER DATE WHEN
IT'S AN APPROACH THAT'S THE ONLY
THING WE'RE DOING TODAY. OKAY

PROCESS.
FORTY EIGHT WELL NUMBER. FOUR
TWO CENTER EGGMAN WELCOME THANK
YOU VERY MUCH AND SO BEFORE WE
BEGIN DO YOU ACCEPT THE
MINNESOTA PROPOSED AND NOW SINCE
IT TOO HEY IF OKAY THEN PLEASE
PROCEED WITH YOUR PRESENTATION
ON SB FORTY THREE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- AND THANK YOU FOR HELLO
THE CENTER I'M- TODAY I'M HERE
TO PRESENT S. B. FORTY THREE
WHICH IS THE LATEST IN A LONG
LINE OF BILLS TO TRY TO UPDATE
WHAT WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY GRAVELY
DISABLED I'M TALKING ABOUT OF
COURSE ARE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
SYSTEM- AND THE CRISIS THAT MANY
HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME THAT
HAS BEEN BEFORE US AND MANY OF
YOU ON THE DIETS HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON IT. FROM YOUR
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF- A POSITION
IN THE THIRTY TRYING TO ADDRESS
I THINK- ONE OF THE ONE OF THE
ISSUES OF OUR OF OUR GENERATION
MY GENERATION ANYWAY. AND
SOMETIMES WE TALK ABOUT
SOMETHING SO BIG YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO START SO JUST LIKE JUST
WITH A LITTLE HISTORY. SO AS
FOLKS NODE AND JUST MAKE REAP
PRECURSOR IT WITH WE DID OUR
FIRST. NATIONWIDE LOOK AT HOW
MANY FOLKS WERE LIVING IN THE
UNITED STATES WITH ABOUT HEALTH
ISSUES AND IN THE EIGHTEEN
EIGHTIES. NOT THAT TIME THEY
FOUND ABOUT HUNDRED THOUSAND
PEOPLE AND WHERE WERE THEY
LIVING WAS THE QUESTION. AND
ABOUT 50% OF THOSE WERE WERE IN
ASYLUM TYPE PLACES BAD BUT THE
OTHER 50% WERE BASICALLY AT
HOMER AND IN THE COMMUNITY ZERO
POINT ZERO SEVEN PERCENT. OF
THOSE FOLKS WERE INCARCERATED.
AND WE TRANSPOSE THAT WITH WHAT
WE KNOW TODAY AND WE KNOW THAT
THE LARGEST MENTAL HEALTH
FACILITIES WE HAVE. IN
CALIFORNIA OUR OUR PRISONS AND
OUR JAILS AND OUR STREETS IS
WHERE PEOPLE ARE SPENDING THEIR
TIME. WHICH OF COURSE WE KNOW
WAS TERRIBLY INAPPROPRIATE. OF
COURSE DURING THAT TIME WE
STARTED REALLY. SINCE EIGHTEEN
EIGHTIES AND IN NINETEEN SIXTY
SEVEN WE- INSTITUTIONALIZE A LOT
OF PEOPLE FOR A LOT OF REASONS
AT THE END THAT WAS WRONG. I WAS
WRONG AND WE CAME TO A PLACE TO
WE SAID PEOPLE SHOULD SHOULD BE
AND ARE BEST TREATED IN THE
COMMUNITY. AND SO IN NINETEEN
SIXTY SEVEN WE PASSED THE LPS
LAW WHICH IN PART WAS TO. BRING
FOLKS OUT OF OUR INSTITUTIONS-
PART OF THE LPS WAS ALSO ABOUT
GETTING PEOPLE TREATMENT AS FAST
AND QUICKLY AS WE COULD IN IN
THE COMMUNITY SETTING. ANOTHER
PART OF THAT WAS ALSO ABOUT
MOVING THEM TO THE LOWEST LEVEL
OF CARE. AND ANOTHER PART OF
THAT WAS ALSO ABOUT A PUBLIC
SAFETY AND WITH WHAT WAS A
PUBLIC BEING. A PROTECTED
THROWING ALL THIS PROCESS. SO
NINETEEN SIXTY SEVEN. WHEN WE
PASSED LPS THINGS OF COURSE LOOK
VERY DIFFERENT THAN THEY LOOK
NOW. SO WE SAID WE'RE GONNA
PROVIDE ALL THESE COMMUNITY
SUPPORTS IN AS PEOPLE MAY HAVE
REALIZED WE NEVER FAILS TO
FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THAT
THROUGH. ONE REASON AFTER
ANOTHER THROUGH RECESSIONS AND
DIFFERENT THINGS WE NEVER
ACTUALLY FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE
PROMISE OF THE DEEP COMMUNITY
SUPPORT THAT WE ARE GOING TO
PROVIDE. WE LET PEOPLE OUT
WITHOUT WITH VERY LITTLE SUPPORT
OFTENTIMES WITHOUT ANY FAMILY
SUPPORT LEFT. TO THEIR OWN YOU
KNOW BASICALLY SAID GOOD LUCK.
SO NINETY SIX SEVEN WE PASSED
LPS ACT WE SAID WE'RE GONNA
WE'RE GONNA STOP DOING THAT. CAN
TREAT THE PEOPLE WHERE WERE
WHERE THEY WERE FOR THEIR LIVING
IN THE COMMUNITY. M. AND OF
COURSE SINCE THAT TIME THINGS
HAVE DRASTICALLY CHANGED- WE
HAVE BETTER MEDICATIONS WE HAVE
A HUGE. DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING
THEN THAT WE DO NOW OF THE BRAIN
AND HOW IT WORKS- WE IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE THE MOST STRICT
LPS LAWS. WE WANT TO BE THE
LEADERS IN THE NATION WITH THAT
WENT INTO EFFECT. OTHER STATES
HAVE FALLEN AWAY FROM US AND
HAVE. MODIFIED IT WHAT IT MEANS
TO BE GRAVELY DISABLED CURRENTLY
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA USED
TO BE GRAVELY DISABLED IF YOU
ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE FOOD
CLOTHING SHELTER. WE ARE HARM TO
YOURSELF OR SOMEBODY ELSE. THAT
IS TRANSLATED VERY LOOSELY AND
YOU ANYONE CAN DRIVE DOWN ANY
STREET. IN SANTA CRUZ AND SAN
FRANCISCO AND SACRAMENTO. AND
SEE EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE AND YOU
THINK THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT. THIS
PERSON IS CLEARLY. DRASTICALLY
HAS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A
PSYCHOSIS OF THE TIMES COULD BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
WITH OPEN WOUNDS THAT WE CAN
SEE- TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO
AREN'T THERE. AS I WAS DRIVING
IN THIS MORNING I COMMUTE BACK
AND FORTH AND STOCKED IN EVERY
DAY- AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS
STRUCK ME SO MUCH BUT IT DID. I
SAW- IN THE DELTA AREA JUST A
BEAUTIFUL FIELD OF WILDFLOWERS.
AND I'VE BEEN TRAVELING BACK AND
FORTH EVERY DAY I YOU KNOW I SEE
THE CHANGES. IN THE SCENERY-
BASED ON THE WEATHER AND THE SUN
AND EVERYTHING. AND I FELT I
FELT JOY THAT I COULD I COULD
SEE THAT AND I COULD APPRECIATE
THAT. AND AS I PULL INTO TOWN I
SEE PEOPLE WHO CLEARLY CANNOT
EXPERIENCE THAT BASIC HUMAN JOY.
THAT WE HAVE OF SEEING AND
APPRECIATING NATURE ABOUT
SMELLING SPRING. BECAUSE WE SEE
PEOPLE CAUGHT IN THE THROES. OF
A MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS LOCKED IN
A PRISON OF THEIR BRAIN. AND
THROUGH OUR LAWS AND THROUGH OUR
OUR WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS
COMPASSION. WE'VE LET IT GO ON
WAY TOO LONG AND WAY TOO FAR- SO
WHAT I HAVE BEFORE YOU TODAY IS
A SIMPLE BILL- TO REDEFINE WHAT
IT MEANS IN CALIFORNIA. TO BE
ABLE TO BE GRAVELY DISABLED AND
TO BE ABLE TO HOLD SOMEBODY.
AGAINST THEIR WILL. WE ALWAYS
THINK VOLUNTARY IS BEST I AGREE
WITH THAT WHOLE HEARTEDLY I'M A
SOCIAL WORKER I HAVE DONE A LOT
OF BILLS. SO IF YOU HAVEN'T
VOTED FOR BECAUSE THEY WERE TOO
MUCH ON THE SIDE OF. SELF
DETERMINATION. IT'S SAFE
INJECTION SITES- LINDA MY FLOP
OPTION ACT RIGHT VERY MUCH. SELF
DETERMINATION TYPE OF BILLS. BUT
WE KNOW WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
WE'RE TALKING TO FOLKS WHO THE
WOMEN IN THE THROES OF ADDICTION
TO THE DEGREE THAT YOUR MIND IS
FRIED. AND OR YOU'RE IN
PSYCHIATRIC. CRISIS YOU CANNOT
MAKE THOSE KINDS OF DECISIONS
THE YOU YOU WERE THEY SUFFER
FROM SOMETHING. CALLED AND I
DON'T SEE I OFTENTIMES WHICH
SAID YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE
AWARENESS THAT SOMETHING IS
WRONG WITH YOU. WE WOULDN'T LET
SOMEBODY LAY OUT IN THE STREET
WITH THEIR HEADS CHOPPED OFF AND
SAY MY PLAN IS TO HOLD IT BACK
ON. WE WOULD PICK THEM UP IN AN
AMBULANCE. WE'RE SAYING THE SAME
THING SHOULD ACCOUNT WITH OUR
MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. SO WE LIKE
TO CHANGE THE DEFINITION TO BE
ABLE TO SAY. A THAT YOU CAN BASE
SOMETHING ON HISTORY OF SOMEBODY
HAS BEEN AS MOST FOLKS ARE.
GOING INTO THE FIFTY ONE FIFTY
SYSTEM AND GOING IN AND OUT AND
IN AND OUT AND SOMETIMES FIFTY
TIMES. THEY ARE BOUND TO BE
UNSTABLE AND THEN BEFORE THAT
THE SEVENTY TWO HOURS IS UP THEY
ARE THEY ARE THEY ARE RELEASED
AGAIN. SO THIS SAYS THAT YOU CAN
USE IF YOU HAD THAT SAME PLAN
MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAS IT WORKED
OUT PROBABLY NOT GONNA WORK OUT
THIS TIME AND THE STATE. OF YOUR
MENTAL HEALTH. HAS DEVOLVED TO A
STATE WE CANNOT NO LONGER
PROTECT YOUR- SELF BASED ON THAT
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE. OR THAT
SUBSTANCE ABUSE ISSUE. YOU
CANNOT PROVIDE SELF CARE FOR
PHYSICAL OR MENTAL. A CONDITION
THAT IS CONTINUING TO WORSEN.
SOME PEOPLE MIGHT SAY ARE YOU TO
SAY YOU KNOW LIKE WE SOMEBODY
LOOKS. NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
WHEN PEOPLE ITS FINGERS FALL OFF
PEOPLE ARE LOSING LIMBS AND YOU
SEE FOLKS LAYING. ON THE STREET
THROUGH OUR START DRASTIC
SUMMERS ARE TRUSTED WINNERS WERE
HAVING. PEOPLE DIE EVERY SINGLE
TIME THAT HAPPENS. BECAUSE THEIR
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES HAS THEM
NOT UNDERSTANDING THE WEATHER IS
BAD. AND LAYING OUT AND IN MY
DISTRICT COOKING. IN THE SUMMER
TO THE PLACES A BLOKE BLOATING.
THAT NOBODY SHOULD HAVE TO SEE-
AND FAMILY MEMBERSHIP CERTAINLY
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT.
THEIR LOVED ONE DYING ON THE
STREET. FROM BLOATING BECAUSE
THEY ARE SO DEHYDRATED. IT'S SO
HOT THEY DON'T KNOW TO COME IN-
AS WE KNOW IN TWO THOUSAND FOUR
WE PASSED THE MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES ACT. THINKING THAT WE
WOULD REALLY THEN REINVEST IN
THAT COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH
THAT WE THOUGHT FOR SO LONG WAS
SO IMPORTANT. BUT WE ONE OF THE
THINGS WE REALIZED IT WAS WE HAD
LET IT GO ON SO LONG AND SO FAR
THAT SO MANY. OF OUR MOST ILL.
WERE SORT OF PAST THE POINT TO
BE ABLE TO HELP IN SOME
RESPECTS- AND WE KNOW AGAIN THAT
THEY ARE RIGHT NOW OUR STATE
HOSPITALS ARE. FULL OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE WHO WERE FOUND INCAPABLE
OF STANDING TRIAL. SO WE'RE
TRYING TO GET THEM BACK. INTO
THEIR RIGHT RIGHT MIND SO THEY
CAN STAND TRIAL FOR A CRIME THEY
COMMITTED. WHILE WHILE NOT IN
THEIR RIGHT MIND. THAT'S WRONG.
ARE WE KNOW OUR PRISON OUR OUR
PRISON AND OUR- THAT YOU'LL
POPULATIONS HAVE GONE DOWN. BUT
THE MENTAL HEALTH FOLKS THAT
WE'RE TREATING IN THOSE HAVE
GONE UP. SO PEOPLE SAY WE DON'T
HAVE THE CAPACITY PERHAPS. TO
HELP PEOPLE. WHAT WE DON'T HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO HELP PEOPLE THAN
I AM I ASK YOU WHAT ARE WE
DOING. BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE SAYING
IS PEOPLE WITHOUT THE EDUCATION
TO HELP THEM IN OUR JAILS IN OUR
PRISONS. AND ON THE STREETS ARE
THE ONES WHO ARE PROVIDING THE
CARE. AND I THINK L. A. COUNTY
IS ON THE HOOK FOR ABOUT THREE
BILLION DOLLARS BECAUSE OF
ABUSES IN THE JAILS. WERE ASKING
PEOPLE WITHOUT WITHOUT SKILLS TO
HELP VERY DIFFICULT. DEMOGRAPHIC
WITHOUT WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT. SO THE BILL
WILL FORCE AGAIN HERE TODAY
AGAIN JUST SAYS LET'S ACTUALLY.
MAKE SENSE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT MAKE IT ACTUALLY TO BE
ABLE TO. TO HELP FOLKS- THAT.
THAT AT THAT TIME COULD NOT HELP
THEMSELVES IS ALWAYS TO MOVE
PEOPLE DOWN TO A LOWER LEVEL OF
CARE THE IDEA IS NOT TO CONSERVE
PEOPLE. BUT TO BE ABLE TO HELP
PEOPLE EARLIER IN THE PROCESS.
THIS BODY HAS VOTED IN THE LAST.
FEW YEARS OVER TWELVE BILLION
DOLLARS OF RESOURCES THAT WE PUT
INTO OUR SYSTEM. WE'RE CURRENTLY
IN OUR FIFTH ROUND OF THE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE
MONEY. THAT IS GOING OUT TO
VISIT- COUNTIES AND NOT TRIBES-
TO BUILD OUT THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
OF AS PEOPLE KNOW WE'RE OUR MOST
SECURING WORKING WITH THE
GOVERNOR THE MHSAA. WHICH WILL
HAVE A BOND COMPONENT TO BE ABLE
TO DO MORE CONSTRUCTION. AND WE
ALSO KNOW THAT LAST YEAR WITH
THE GOVERNOR WE PASSED THE CARE
ACT WHICH WILL HOPEFULLY BRING A
LOT OF THOSE FOLKS INTO THE
SYSTEM. IN A VOLUNTARY MANNER
BEFORE. WE HAVE. REALLY TRIED TO
FULL FILL OUT OUR ENTIRE
CONTINUUM OF CARE FROM START TO
FINISH. WITH THE WITH YOUNG KIDS
WITH EARLY INTERVENTION WITH ALL
OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE SO
IMPORTANT. BUT IF WE DON'T FIX
THIS AND PIECE IT JUST BECOMES A
SAME REVOLVING LOOP. THAT IT'S
BEEN OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN WHERE PEOPLE FALL OFF THE
SYSTEM AT THE END. AND END UP IN
OUR STREETS IN OUR JAILS IN OUR
PRISONS WERE DECEASED. IT'S TIME
TO DO SOMETHING IT WAS IT WITHIN
OUR POWER TO DO SOMETHING. AND
THE TIME IS NOW. WITH ME HERE
TODAY TO TESTIFY I HAVE DOCTOR
EMILY WOULD A PSYCHIATRIST AS
WELL AS- MAYOR TODD GLORIA. FROM
THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO. THANK YOU
. FORGERS HI. I'M EMILY WOULD I
AM A PSYCHIATRIST AND
NEUROSCIENTIST REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA STATE ASSOCIATION OF
PSYCHIATRISTS ARE C. STOP. SEIZE
UP IS CO SPONSORING THIS BILL
BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN TOO MANY OF
OUR PATIENTS FALL THROUGH THE
CRACKS OF OUR BROKEN SYSTEM.
MOST OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE TO
MAKE UNREASONABLE CHOICES ABOUT
THEIR CARE. THEY HAVE TO WITH
THE DISTRESS AND DYSFUNCTION
RELATED TO THEIR MENTAL ILLNESS
AGAINST HOW THE LIMITED
AVAILABLE TREATMENT FITS WITH
THEIR NEEDS PREFERENCES AND
VALUES. A MAN DECIDING WHETHER
TO PARTICIPATE IN A RESIDENTIAL
SUBSTANCE USE PROGRAM MAY SEE
THAT IT MIGHT HELP HIM WITH HIS
ADDICTION. BUT IT WILL CERTAINLY
CAUSE HIM TO LOSE A SHELTER. NO
ONE SHOULD HAVE TO MAKE
DECISIONS LIKE THIS. AND PEOPLE
WHO CAN ARE NOT GREATLY
DISABLED. INDIVIDUALS WHO MEET
CRITERIA FOR GREAT DISABILITY
ARE UNABLE TO MAKE NECESSARY
DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR PERSONAL
SAFETY AND HEALTH BECAUSE OF THE
SYMPTOMS OF THEIR MENTAL HEALTH
DISORDER. TAKE A YOUNG MAN WITH
BORDERLINE INTELLECTUAL
FUNCTIONING AND CHRONIC MATTHEWS
WHO IS REGULARLY BROUGHT TO THE
HOSPITAL WHEN HIS FAMILY FINDS
HIM ON THE STREET WHERE HE IS
PSYCHOTIC. STARTING BEING ABUSED
. WITH A FEW DAYS OF NUTRITION
AND ANTI PSYCHOTIC MEDS THE
INTOXICATION LAUGHS. AND HE
WANTS TO RETURN HOME. PREVIOUSLY
HAS FAMILY TOOK HIM BACK WITH
OPEN ARMS BUT DESPITE HIS
GENUINE DESIRE TO BE PART OF THE
FAMILY WITHIN DAYS THE CRAVINGS
ARE TURNING TO THE STREET AND
THE MATH DEPRIVED HIM OF HIS
CAPACITY TO CHOOSE. THIS TIME
THE FAMILY ASKED TO KEEP HIM AT
THE HOSPITAL LONGER TO FULLY
STABILIZE AND REALLY CONSIDER
SUBSTANCE USE PROGRAMS. I MUST
TELL HIM THAT HIS JUDGMENT
REMAINS POOR BECAUSE HIS BRAIN
IS COMPLETELY FOCUSED ON
OBTAINING MATH. AND HE WOULD
BENEFIT FROM MORE TIME TO FULLY
DETOX AND PARTICIPATE IN
THERAPY. BUT WE HAVE NO LEGAL
BASIS TO CONTINUE THE TREATMENT
HE DESERVES BECAUSE HE CAN
OBTAIN FOOD CLOTHING AND
SHELTER. HIS PRIMARY MENTAL
HEALTH DISORDER IS NON ALCOHOL
SUBSTANCE USE AND HIS HISTORY
RETURNING TO SHELTER THE
STARVATION WITHIN A WEEK OF
DISCHARGE HAS NO BEARING. C. SUB
SUPPORTS UPDATING THE DEFINITION
OF BRIEFLY BRIEFLY DISABLED
BECAUSE WE ARE TIRED OF WATCHING
OUR PATIENTS DIE ON THE STREET
AND ROT IN JAIL. WHEN WE COULD
HAVE HELPED THEM. WE MUST ACCEPT
THAT THERE ARE VULNERABLE
INDIVIDUALS AMONG US THE EXTRA
SUPPORT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO. LIMIT
TESTIMONY BY TWO MINUTES SAID
YES AND YOU SUPPORT THE BILL YES
OKAY THANK YOU. MISTER MAYOR.
THANK YOU MISTER ROBERT TRY TO
MAKE IT BRIEF I APPRECIATE THE
NATURE OF THE COMMITTEES LONG
HEARING ALREADY. I WANT TO THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY HERE MY NAME IS TODD
GLORIA MAYOR THE CITY SAN DIEGO.
ALSO THE CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA
BIG THIRTEEN THERE'S- A
COALITION BIPARTISAN GROUP
REPRESENTING MANY OF THE
COMMUNITIES THAT YOU WORK IN.
MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE
BEEN FOCUSED AND PASSIONATE
ABOUT THE ISSUE OF HOMELESSNESS.
BUT IN RECENT YEARS WITH THE
WORKING MORE ON BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH REFORM. YOU HAVE
ENTRUSTED US WITH BILLIONS OF
YOUR DOLLARS TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUE THE UNSHELTERED. BUT THERE
IS A SMALL SEGMENT OF THE
POPULATION. IN SMALL IN NUMBER
BUT IT'S HIGH IN A CUTIE IN
TERMS OF PEOPLE'S OBSERVATIONS
OF THEM. THAT WE ARE TRYING TO
FOCUS ON WITH THIS TICKET PIECE
OF LEGISLATION WE SPREE STATE
SENATOR ADMIT WE ON THIS ISSUE.
WE WORKED WITH THIS COMMITTEE
WAS CENTER I MET WITH YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN MASTER THE PAST CURE
CORE. WE ARE EXCITED TO
IMPLEMENT IT. BUT EVEN WITH THE
PUBLICATION OF THAT PIECE OF
LANDMARK LEGISLATION THEY'RE
STILL GONNA BE A SEGMENT. OF
ACUTELY MENTALLY ILL FOLKS WHO
ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO BE
SERVED. FOR WHOM I WORRY OF THE
TWO YEAR PROCESS THAT IS CARE
COURT MAYBE A DEATH SENTENCE WE
NEED TO GET THESE FOLKS WHO ARE
VERY VERY SICK INDICATORS. AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND THAT'S
WHAT SENATE BILL FORTY THREE. IS
INTENDED TO DO. I WANT YOU TO
KNOW. THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT
IS ALL OF ITS STATE CALIFORNIA
CERTAINLY IN ALL OF OUR CITIES.
AND CERTAINLY IN ALL OF YOUR
DISTRICTS- THESE FOLKS ARE THE
ONES ARE SAFE GOING TO OUR
STREETS OUR JAILS ARE EMERGENCY
ROOMS. COSTING TAX PAYERS I
WOULD ARGUE MILLIONS IF NOT
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. IN PUT ME
IN MY CITY. ON A DAILY BASIS. WE
EXPERIENCED FOUR HUNDRED SERVICE
HOURS OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS OR
POLICE OFFICERS OR PARAMEDICS.
BEING FOCUSED ON BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH EMERGENCY CALLS. FOUR
HUNDRED DOLLARS THAT'S DOZENS.
OF FIRST RESPONDERS. NOT
AVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO THE
NEEDS. OF YOUR HEART ATTACK.
YOUR CRIME IN PROGRESS. INSTEAD
THEY'RE WORKING ON BEHALF OF
PEOPLE WHO SHOULD BE IN A
BETTER. AND MORE RICH CARE
SETTING. IN OUR JAILS WITH OUR
EMERGENCY ROOMS. THIS IS THE
KIND OF STUFF THAT WE BELIEVE.
WILL BE ADDRESSED TO THIS BILL.
RECOGNIZE THERE'S NO SILVER
BULLET. BUT THE CONFERENCE
APPROACHES CENTER EGGMAN IS
TAKING WILL CERTAINLY HELP GET
US MUCH FURTHER. ALONG THIS.
ACTION IS LONG OVERDUE AGAIN YOU
ARE GIVING YES BILLIONS OF YOU.
DOLLARS PUT TO WORK. BUT IS
THAT. GREW OF POPPY. THAT WE
NEED YOUR- WITH. PLEASE GIVE.
THE TOOLS TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS
THE SECURE POPULATION. BEFORE IT
GETS WORSE THANK YOU. FOR
SUPPORT RT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ALL RIGHT. NEXT A PRIMARY
OPPOSITION. HI JERRY MEMBERS
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF SB FORTY
THREE. MY NAME IS SINGLE JANNA
SENIOR POLICY ATTORNEY AT
DISABILITY RIGHTS CALIFORNIA. SB
FORTY THREE WON'T EXPAND ACCESS
TO CARE IT WON'T DIVERT PEOPLE
WITH MENTAL ILLNESS FROM THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. IT WILL
ONLY PERPETUATE THE REVOLVING
DOOR OF HOMELESSNESS AND
INSTITUTIONALIZATION.
INVOLUNTARY CRITERIA DOES NOT
NEED TO BE EXPANDED. THE PART OF
OUR SYSTEM IS BROKEN. IS THAT
ONCE AN INDIVIDUAL IS STABILIZED
TO DISCHARGE THE END UP BACK ON
THE STREETS WITHOUT HOUSING AND
THEIR CONDITION AGAIN
DETERIORATES. SB FORTY THREE
WILL MAKE THIS PROBLEM WORSE BY
SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANDING
INVOLUNTARY CRITERIA WE WILL
FORCE RESOURCES INTO EXPENSIVE
LOCKED FACILITIES. TAKING AWAY
FROM THE DOWNSTREAM AND UPSTREAM
FACILITY COMMUNITY SUPPORTS IN
HOUSING THE PEOPLE NEED TO
REMAIN STABLE THE COMMUNITY. THE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
RECENTLY RELEASED A REPORT
SAYING WE NEED TO MOVE AWAY FROM
INVOLUNTARY MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT. AND TOWARDS COMMUNITY
BASED TREATMENT. SB FORTY THREE
WILL MOVE OUR STATE BACKWARDS ON
THIS ISSUE. SB FORTY WILL
SUBJECT MANY MORE CALIFORNIANS
TO THE TERROR OF INVOLUNTARY
CONFINEMENT. I WAS A MENTAL
HEALTH PATIENTS RIGHTS ADVOCATE
FOR FIVE AND A HALF YEARS WERE
INVESTIGATED ALLEGATIONS OF
ABUSE AND NEGLECT IN LOCKED
PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES. THESE
ARE NOT PLACES OF HEALING
THEY'RE OFTEN TRAUMATIZING AND
PEOPLE FEEL THEIR RIGHTS ARE
FREQUENTLY VIOLATED. WHAT MY
NEXT CALIFORNIANS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY SUBJECT TO
THIS TRAUMA BEING OVER 50% MORE
LIKELY TO BE PLACED ON A FIFTY
ONE FIFTY THEN WHY CALIFORNIANS.
SB FORTY THREE WILL MAKE THESE
ALREADY EXISTING DISPARITIES
WORSE. OR RUN INDIVIDUALS WITH
LIVED EXPERIENCE OPPOSE SB FORTY
THREE THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE
MENTAL HEALTH DISABILITIES
PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN SUBJECT TO
FORCE TREATMENT THEMSELVES AND
ARE TELLING US. THAT THIS HAS
NOT WORKED FOR THEM HAVING THE
RIGHTS AND DIGNITY STRIPPED FROM
THEM THERE INVOLUNTARY
CONFINEMENT HAS INFLICTED MORE
HARM AND HAS MADE WELL THIS MORE
ELUSIVE. THOSE WHO WOULD BE MOST
IMPACTED BY SB FORTY THREE ARE
TELLING US THAT THIS ISN'T THE
RIGHT THING TO DO FOR THESE
REASONS WE ASK THIS COMMITTEES
NO VOTE ON SB FORTY THREE. THANK
YOU THANK YOU. OTHER PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION. GOOD
AFTERNOON MY NAME'S CLARA COURT
RIGHT- I AM THE POLICY DIRECTOR
FOR CALL VOICES WERE APPEAR RUN
ORGANIZATION I'M A PERSON WITH
LIVED EXPERIENCE OF A PSYCHOTIC
ILLNESS. LONGTIME MENTAL HEALTH
ADVOCATE AND ATTORNEY- WE HAVE
MANY OBJECTIONS TO THE BUILDER
IN THE RECORD- BUT WHAT WE
WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT TODAY
BECAUSE THIS IS. JUDICIARY IS
OUR OPPOSITION TO THE HEARSAY
EXCEPTION. ARE WE ALSO WROTE A
LETTER TO THIS COMMITTEE REALLY
UNPACKING WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
IN OUR CONCERNS AROUND IT. THE
NOW HIGHLIGHT BRIEFLY- THIS
EXCEPTION PRIVILEGES SPEAKERS
FOR THE PROSECUTION ONLY- THEIR
STATEMENTS OR WHOLESALE
CONSIDERED NON HEARSAY- AND THAT
EXCEPTION BENEFITS THE
PROSECUTION ONLY- WHOSE LIBERTY
IS NOT AT STAKE. THE PROVISION
ALLOWS AN EXPERT WITNESS TO
REPEAT THE DIAGNOSTIC. PINIONS
OF ANOTHER PROVIDER DESPITE
HAVING NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OR
BASIS- AS TO THEIR TRUTH. HE
CANNOT BE CROSS EXAMINED ON THE
STATEMENTS BECAUSE THE EXCEPTION
COVERS QUOTE STATEMENTS IT COULD
ALSO POTENTIALLY ENCOMPASS- AND
ALLOW AN EXPERT WITNESS TO
REPEAT AND ENDORSE WHAT'S CALLED
MULTIPLE HEARSAY. THAT'S WHERE
FOR INSTANCE A PROVIDER MIGHT
RIGHT IN THE RECORD THAT ANOTHER
UNIDENTIFIED MENTAL PATIENT SAW
THE PROPOSED CONSERVANCY DOING
X. Y. OR Z. THE EXPERT WITNESS
WITH AND IF THIS COVERS MULTIPLE
HEARSAY- BE ABLE TO OFFER THAT
FOR THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
ASSERTED- THE EXCEPTION REALLY
LIKE WHOLESALE IMPORTS. EVIDENCE
THAT IS CONSIDERED UNRELIABLE IN
BASICALLY EVERY OTHER PROCEEDING
AND IT ACTUALLY SELECTS FOR THAT
ON RELIABLE EVIDENCE- IT HAS THE
FUNCTION OF SHIFTING THE BURDEN
TO THE PROPOSED CONSERVANCY TO
IDENTIFY LOCATE AND CALL ANY
HEARSAY SPEAKER IN THE RECORD WE
ARE WEAK IT COULD BE A THOUSAND
PAGE MEDICAL RECORD. TO THROW
THAT OUT OF PROPOSED CONSERVANCY
TO DEFEND IT IS PROFOUNDLY
UNFAIR IT REALLY STOCKS THE
JACKET MAY RESULT IN PROCEEDINGS
IN WHICH THE PERSON DOES NOT
HAVE- MUCH OF A CHANCE OF
PREVAILING THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU. AT THE TIME THERE'S
NOT AS A CUE THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR ALL RIGHT THANK YOU LET'S
BRING BACK COMMITTEE- COMMITTEE
MEMBERS YES CENTER LAYERED STE I
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR
I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S
TESTIMONY AND I THOUGHT I WOULD
ADJUST EXPLORE TWO THINGS A WITH
THE AUTHOR THE FIRST ONE IS AND
YOU ADDRESSED IT SO STRONGLY IN
YOUR OPEN BUT NOW THAT WE HAD
ALL THE TESTIMONY. IT SEEMS THE
HEART OF THE ISSUE IS THE LINE
BETWEEN WHAT PEOPLE THINK IS
APPROPRIATE COMMITMENT AND
POTENTIAL LOSS OF RIGHTS. HI
AFTER HEARING THAT TESTIMONY HOW
WOULD YOU ADDRESS THAT DIDN'T
SORT OF ADVOCACY FOR YOUR BILL.
WELL FIRST I WOULD SAY THAT THIS
BILL DOES NOTHING. TO AFFECT DUE
PROCESS THAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE
THROUGH THE LPS ACT. THAT YOU
HAVE AN INITIAL POTENTIAL HOLD A
FIFTY ONE FIFTY. THREE DAYS AND
THEN A FIFTY TO FIFTY. TWO WEEKS
POTENTIALLY GOING- TO A MONTH.
POTENTIALLY AND WE EXTENDED THAT
LAST YEAR- THROUGH SOME
LEGISLATION I DID TO GET PEOPLE
OF ANOTHER EXTENSION PERIOD. ALL
THE WAY POTENTIALLY TO A
CONSERVATORSHIP SO THERE ARE
MANY POINTS ALONG THE WAY IN
WHICH IS DESIGNED TO KEEP
PEOPLE'S RIGHTS INTACT. AS MUCH
AS AS POSSIBLE. AND I WOULD SAY
THAT THE PEOPLE WERE TALKING
ABOUT IS A IS A SMALL POPULATION
BUT AS AS WE ALL KNOW A VERY
VISIBLE AND- AND I'LL SAY WHAT
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T COME UP AS
MUCH WITH THE OPPOSITION BUT A
VERY VICTIMIZED. POPULATION
THESE ARE THE FOLKS WHO ARE
MONIES TAKEN FROM THEM THERE BE
THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE RAPED- NOT
TO MENTION JUST STAYING IN THE
ELEMENTS SO WE'RE IT IS IT IS.
IT IS. IT THERE IS CLINICAL WAYS
TO BE ABLE TO DETERMINE- THE
CRITERIA THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IT IS IN OUR DSM'S IT IS
IN OUR THAT SAMPSON SAMPSON
REGULATIONS THAT CAME OUT. IN
TWENTY NINETEEN TALKED ABOUT
THIS VERY THING THIS INABILITY
TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR OWN SELF
PROTECTION. IN YOUR OWN SELF
CARE- SO WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT
SOMEBODY WHO JUST YOU KNOW MIGHT
BE A LITTLE ECCENTRIC NOBODY'S
TALKING ABOUT THAT WE'RE TALKING
TO PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTIVELY BEING
HARMED HAVE BEEN HARMED. AND
WILL CONTINUE TO BE HARMED- AND
I GUESS MY AND MY OTHER THING IS
OR WHY NOT. WHY NOT WHEN I TRY
TO HELP PEOPLE BECAUSE WE KNOW
WHERE THEY ARE AND ENDING UP
RIGHT NOW WHICH IS A TOTAL LOSS.
OF THEIR ENTIRE LIBERTY. IS TO
BE INSTITUTIONALIZED AND
IMPRISONED. THANK YOU ARE I
REALLY APPRECIATE THAT MY OTHER
QUESTION IS LAST YEAR WHEN. WHEN
WE WERE DOING THE CARE COURTS
ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES ALL THE
WAY ALONG. THAT WASN'T ON THE-
CONSERVER SIDE WAS REALLY. THE
FINANCING AND IT PASSED THROUGH
AND IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO GET
ADDRESSED IN FUTURE THANKS AND
NOW THE GOVERNOR STRESSING IT
AFTER SIGNING IT. THERE ARE SOME
OPTIONS HERE. SOME OF WHICH CAME
UP IN THE TESTIMONY. SUCH AS THE
PROPOSED MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
REVISION THAT COULD BE COMING TO
THE VOTERS. A POSSIBLE OTHER
BOND WITH REGARD TO. TO UNLOCK
FACILITIES AND DEALING WITH IT
IN A WAIVER. LIKE A SECTION ONE
ONE ONE FIVE WAIVER ON
ADDITIONAL MEDICAID
REIMBURSEMENT. HOW DO YOU SEE
PAIRING SOME OF THAT WITH THIS
BILL AS IT MOVES ALONG. WITH THE
AGAIN WITH THE FINANCING WE'VE
PUT DOWN OVER TWELVE BILLION
DOLLARS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS TO
BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS- PLEASE
DON'T JUST POP OVERNIGHT AS WE
KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE- WHOEVER-
A PULL DOWN THAT MONEY WHO ARE
CURRENTLY RE HAVING ALL
FACILITIES- CONSTRUCTING NEW
FACILITIES- WE KNOW- THE WORK
FORCE IS ALSO AN ISSUE THAT WE-
THAT WE- THAT WE HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT- AND SO THROUGH THE BUDGET
PROCESS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH
FOR MORE- BEHAVIOR HEALTH
WORKERS. AND PROVIDING MONEY FOR
THAT IN THE BUDGET- THE GOVERNOR
PROVIDED MONEY IN SPECIFIC IN
THE BUDGET FOR THE CARE COURT-
AND SO I SAW ALSO SEE THIS AS A
COMPANION TO CARE COURT. IN THAT
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT WHEN PEOPLE
SAY THIS IS INVOLUNTARY NO THAT
IS VOLUNTARY BUT IF PEOPLE FALL
OUT AT THE OTHER END. THEN IT IT
THEN WE HAVE SPENT ALL OF THAT
MONEY FOR NOTHING- SO I ALSO
JUST SEE THIS AS BEING ABLE TO
USE OUR RESOURCES- THE MOST
EFFECTIVE LEVEL POSSIBLE. WHICH
WILL ALSO HELP WITH WORKFORCE
BECAUSE PEOPLE GET BURNED OUT
WATCHING THE SAME PEOPLE SUFFER
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN- SO
I TOTAL I SEE A TOTAL PARALLEL
BETWEEN THESE AND THE FUNDING
AGAIN AS YOU. AS WE TALKED ABOUT
THE MONEY THAT WE'VE ALREADY
PROPOSED. WE'RE WORKING VERY
HARD TO THE BUDGET PROCESS TO BE
ABLE IN K. INCREASE OUR MEDICAL
RATES AT THE SAME TIME. THE
ELEVEN FIFTEEN WAIVER THAT IS
GOING FORWARD- SECURE COURT WE
DID LAST YEAR. LAURA'S LAW THAT
WE- TO YEARS BEFORE THAT- PM TO
GATHER DATA ON THE ENTIRE FIFTY
ONE FIFTY PROCESS. AND THEN
AGAIN TO REDO OF THE MHS SAVE
MONEY- I THINK WILL GO A LONG
WAY TOWARDS BEING ABLE TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE FUNDING GAPS
THAT WE SEE NOW. IN THE SIXTH
ROUND OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE
MONEY. IS GOING TO GO TOWARDS A
GAP ASSESSMENT TO SEE WHAT STILL
NEEDS TO BE DONE AND HOW WE FEEL
THAT. OUR I APPRECIATE THAT
TOTALLY AND THINK YOU'RE- ON THE
RIGHT PATH. I JUST HEAR FROM THE
VARIOUS COUNTY SUPERVISORS IN MY
DISTRICT ARE CONCERNED. THAT WE
DO THE POLICY FIRST AND HOPE THE
MONEY FOLLOWS AND- THEIR- WAIT
WHERE PALPITATIONS AND ANOTHER-
THANKS OF JUST. OUR PRITCHARD
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ON THAT
AND- I LOOK FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING I UNDERSTAND THE
PALPITATIONS BUT I GUESS MY
RESPONSE THAT IS ALWAYS THESE
ARE PEOPLE THAT WERE MAKING UP
THAT WE'RE BRINGING IN FROM
OUTER SPACE. THESE ARE PEOPLE ON
OUR STREETS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US
TODAY. IN OUR COMMUNITIES SO FOR
NOT WILLING TO HELP THEM NOW
WE'RE SAYING WE'RE- WE'RE
TOTALLY OK. WITH WHERE THEY'RE
STAYING RIGHT NOW I TOTALLY
AGREE I'M CARRYING A BILL.
PEOPLE ARE POSING BECAUSE I
DON'T. HAVE THE MONEY THAT IS
ABOUT CONSERVATORSHIP AND YET AT
THE SAME TIME. THEY HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THEY PROVIDE THE RESOURCES
TO DO IT SO UP. SHOULD THE
PASSION LOOK FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING THE BILL. THANK YOU A
CENTER IN YELLOW THAN SEVERAL.
THANK YOUR STERN THANK YOU FOR-
PRONOUNCING MY NAME THE WAY IT'S
PRONOUNCED IN ITALY. RESHAPE
THAT. YES THEY ARE. HI- GROUT
SAID THE LITTLE HERE. THE
PRIMARY REASON THAT I DECIDED TO
RUN FOR OFFICE AGAIN WHEN I
RECOGNIZE THERE WAS A DISTRICT-
ALL OF A SUDDEN I LIVED AND THEN
I THOUGHT I COULD WIN. WAS OUR
LOCAL COMMUNITIES SACRAMENTO'S
AND OUR STATES. STRUGGLE WITH
HOMELESSNESS. WITH WITHOUT GREAT
SUCCESS. AND I'VE- FOLLOWED AND
ADMIRED THE WORK OF SENATOR
EGGMAN IN THIS AREA. AND I
APPROACHED HER EARLY ON AND TOLD
HER IT WAS A HIGH PRIORITY ISSUE
FOR ME AND- I WANTED TO WORK
WITH HER ON THAT AND- SHE HAS SO
GENEROUSLY ALLOWED ME TO BE A CO
AUTHOR ON THIS BILL WHICH I AM-
PROUDLY I THINK THIS IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
. I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS OF
THE OPPOSITION- I RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE WITH THAT CENTER EGGMAN
HAS A GREAT QUOTE THAT I USE.
SHE SAYS PEOPLE ARE DYING ON OUR
STREETS WITH THEIR RIGHTS ON.
AND THEY ARE. AND THEY NEED HELP
AND THERE THERE IS ARTICLE AFTER
ARTICLE FRANKLY RECENTLY ABOUT
PEOPLE. WHO WERE COMPELLED TO
TREATMENT AND ARE SO ETERNALLY
GRATEFUL NOW THAT THEY WERE. I
HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THE PERSON-
POP UP THAT SAID. I WAS
COMPELLED TO TREATMENT AND I
DIDN'T LIKE IT- IN THIS ONE
THING. IN CLOSING THAT I'D LIKE
TO POINT OUT IS THAT. ASSEMBLY
MEANS ASSEMBLY MEN FRANKLIN
TURMAN WHO IS THE MOVER OF THE
LANDMAN PATCHER SHORT ACT IT WAS
ORIGINALLY A- A- ASSEMBLY BILL-
THAT- A SENATE BILL WAS GOOD IT
DIDN'T- PREVAIL IN THE SENATE
BILL WAS GUTTED AND AMENDED AND
THAT'S HOW THE TWO SENATORS GOT
ON THE BILL- AND WAS FINALLY
PASSED UNFORTUNATELY WITHOUT
FUNDING. THE INTENT WAS FOR
COUNTIES TO PICK UP. THIS
RESPONSIBILITY WITH FUNDING FROM
THE STATE AND IT WAS TAKEN OUT
OF THE BILL- VERY UNFORTUNATELY.
BUT ASSEMBLY MEANT LAND TURMAN.
PRIOR TO PASSING AWAY. SAID
THAT. HE THOUGHT THAT THAT BILL
AND SPECIFICALLY THE DEFINITION
OF GRAVELY DISABLED. I HAVEN'T
UNDIMMED AND THE NARROW
DEFINITION HAD THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCE. OF WHAT WE'RE
SEEING TODAY. AND HE TOLD AN
AIDE THAT HE THOUGHT THAT THE
BILL SHOULD BE REVISITED. WHICH
SHE EXPRESSED IN AN INTERVIEW
WITH THE NEWSPAPER SOME YEARS
AGO SO WHAT. I JUST WANT TO SAY
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION WE NEED THIS IN
ORDER TO TRY TO GET SOME SET
SUCCESS WITH THIS VERY DIFFICULT
PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE WITH
HOMELESSNESS- THANK YOU.
SURROUND. I JUST WANT TO THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR HER COURAGE IN
DEALING WITH THIS IMMENSELY
DIFFICULT ISSUE I- MY MOTHER HAD
A VERY GOOD FRIEND WHO LOST HER
SON- TO MENTAL ILLNESS AND ONE
OF THE GREAT CHALLENGES THAT
THEY JUST HAD IT ONCE HE-
TOURNEY TEAM THERE SO LITTLE
CONTROL AND THEY HAD- AND YOU
KNOW YOU HAVE THAT SEPARATE FROM
A BUS. HI SO ANYWAY I BY ONE OF
THE BILL INAPPROPRIATE THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU CENTER ON
SENTIMENT. SORRY FOR MISSING
YOUR EARLIER PART OF THE DEBATE-
BUT I WAS ONE JUST THE ONLY I
THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT BILL
I GUESS I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION.
IT SEEMS THAT THERE'S A VERY
BROAD DEFINITION OF HEALTH
PRACTITIONER. AND I GUESS IS
THAT SOMETHING IS THERE A REASON
FOR THAT I GUESS THE CONCERN I
MIGHT HAVE IS THAT. WHEN WE ADD
ON LICENSE MANAGER FAMILY
THERAPISTS LIKE ASSISTANCE OTHER
CATEGORIES OF PROFESSIONALS THAT
THAT MIGHT START TO BE SEEN AS A
LITTLE BIT OVERBROAD. YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT IN HERE SAY YEAH
THERE'S EXCEPTIONS YEAH WHAT
WE'RE TALK ABOUT AS A MEDICAL
RECORD RIGHT AND- I MEAN THE
WITH CODE CLEARLY SAYS THE-
ISSUE SHOULD USE. INFORMATION
RELEVANT FOR THE JUDGE TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE A CASE SO WE'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW TALKING
TO A SCENE THEY WERE TALKING
ABOUT SO MANY OF THE MEDICAL.
CHART THAT'S BEEN DOCUMENTED-
THAT THE JUDGE WOULD HAVE
AVAILABLE TO BE ABLE TO SEE
RIGHT I MEAN A LOT OF TIMES
THEIR THEIR VOLUMES AND VOLUMES
BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE AND THE IDEA
IS THAT PEOPLE HAVE COME. TIME
AND TIME AND TIME AND TIME AND
TIME AGAIN WITH THE SAME- THE
SAME KIND OF LOOK AND THE SAME
LIKE OH HERE'S MY PLAN TO GO OUT
AND STAY SAFE. ONLY BE RIGHT
BACK IN AGAIN. THAT SAID THIS
DOCUMENTATION IS FOUND IT PART
OF A LARGER DOCUMENT GOT IT
THANK YOU. THIS NOT JUST SOMEONE
COMING IN IT'S THE DOT THE
DOCUMENTATION. CONTAINED IN A
MEDICAL RECORD. THE COMMENTS
QUESTIONS OF THIS ARGUMENT A
UNITED DISCUSS THIS THIS
PARTICULAR WOULD SUPPORT THE
BILL- THE ISSUES RAISED BY THE
DISABILITY RIGHTS COALITION
CONCERNING HEARSAY TESTIMONY.
SINCE THIS IS JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE AND WE GET PAID TO
FOCUS ON ISSUES LIKE THAT. THE
THAT IS A BIT OF CONCERNING WE
VESTED DISABILITY RIGHTS FOLKS
PROPOSED LANGUAGE- CLEARLY WE
WANT THE DECISION MAKER AT LEAST
I WITH THE DECISION MAKERS. HAVE
AS MUCH INFORMATION THAT IS
RELEVANT. AS IS POSSIBLE THE WAR
TALK ABOUT SOMEBODY'S LIBERTY
INTERESTS PARTICULARLY AS TO THE
CURRENT STATE. IT WOULD SEEM
THAT THAT THERE SHOULD BE AN
OPPORTUNITY. FOR SOME CROSS
EXAMINATION OR AT LEAST SOME.
OPPORTUNITY FOR DIRECT
EXAMINATION- AND I AND I KNOW
YOU WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THAT ISSUE AS IT MOVES FORWARD
AS IT. IS MY ASSUMPTION CORRECT.
YES I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS ISSUE GOING FORWARD. OKAY
YEAH THANK YOU AND I KNOW WE
JUST WE JUST TO BE ABLE TO USE
THE MEDICAL RECORD AND AGAIN
THAT THEY HAVE TO BE FOUND BUT
YOU KNOW BY THE JUDGE AND THEN
GO TO JERRY ABOUT. OF THEIR
PEERS BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT.
YES BUT BUT BUT IN TERMS OF THE-
EAT ANY PART OF THE EVALUATION.
THAT IS. CURRENT AND WHERE
SOMEONE IS AVAILABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE- THAT'S AN AREA WHERE
WHERE I'M I'M HOPEFUL THAT WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK A BIT WE'VE
ASKED FOR LANGUAGE WAS NOT
RECEIVED ANY LANGUAGE- HEARSAY
TESTIMONY. IN MY VIEW- SHOULD
COME IN. THE QUERY WHETHER OR
NOT THERE SHOULD BE SOME ELEMENT
OF EXAMINATION OR CROSS
EXAMINATION. SO I THINK THAT
CENTER ALLEN MOVE THE BILL.
SEVERAL MOVE THE BILL. ALL RIGHT
OF MADAM SECRETARY ALWAYS LIKE
CLOSE. THE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR THE CONVERSATION AND FOR.
ARE YOU WILLING TO BE OPEN
MINDED ABOUT THIS AGAIN WE'RE
NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT- THE OPS
ACT AT THE VERY END WE HAVE ALL
BEEN. LOOKING AT EXPANDING AND
STRENGTHENING OUR ENTIRE
CONTINUUM OF CARE. THE GOAL IS
NEVER TO HAVE TO BE ABLE TO USE
THIS BUT WHEN WE DO TO BE ABLE
TO HAVE THE TOOLS ACTUALLY TO BE
ABLE TO ADDRESS IT. I'M TIRED OF
EXPLAINING TO MY FOURTEEN YEAR
OLD WHY WE CAN'T HELP PEOPLE AND
I'M SURE YOU ARE TOO- LET'S DO
OUR BEST. AS WE'VE AS WE'VE MADE
THE PROMISE- I ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. THANK YOU MEMSIC TRIBUTE

IF YOU LIKE START WITH YEAH WE

CENTER ARCHULETA. HE DIDN'T GET
THE FULL STORY BEFORE I WENT UP
HERE. BUT I APPRECIATED.
NONETHELESS CHAU NEVER MISS
CHAIR MEMBERS- I PLEASED TO.
PRESENT S. B. FOR SEVENTY EIGHT
A BILL SPONSORED BY THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL AND THE CALIFORNIA LOW
INCOME. CONSUMER COALITION THAT
SEEKS TO COMBAT THE DECEPTIVE
ADVERTISING PRACTICE. IN WHICH A
SELLER USES AN ARTIFICIALLY LOW
PRICE. TO ATTRACT THE CUSTOMER
BEFORE SPRINGING ADDITIONAL
REQUIRED. CHARGES LATER IN THE
BUYING PROCESS SIMPLY PUT SB
FOUR SEVENTY EIGHT MAKES IT
UNLAWFUL UNDER THE CONSUMER
LEGAL REMEDIES ACT. C. L. R. A.
TO ADVERTISE A PRICE FOR A GOOD
OR SERVICE THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE
ALL REQUIRED CHARGES. OTHER THAN
THE TAXES IMPOSED BY THE
GOVERNMENT. WELL EXISTING LAWS
AGAINST UNFAIR COMPETITION FALSE
ADVERTISING ALREADY PROHIBIT
DECEPTIVE PRICING PRACTICES SB
FOUR SEVENTY EIGHT MAKES IT
CLEAR THAT HIDING MANDATORY
REQUIRED FEES. IS ALSO A
DECEPTIVE AND ILLEGAL PRACTICES
ACROSS THE BOARD. THE ISSUE OF
HIDDEN FEES ARE JUNKIES HAS
GARNERED NATIONAL ATTENTION WITH
PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLING ON
CONGRESS TO PASS THE JUNK V.
PREVENTION ACT LEGISLATION
TARGETING DECEPTIVE. ADVERTISE
MEMBERS WE ALL EXPERIENCE THESE
FEES I DON'T HAVE TO CITE THE
NUMEROUS CONSUMER SURVEYS OR
AMPLE RESEARCH OF EACH OF YOU TO
KNOW THE HIDDEN FEES ARE POPPING
UP EVERYWHERE. FROM THE
UNAVOIDABLE RESORT FEE AT YOUR
HOTEL TO THE OUTRAGEOUS FEES
THAT ARE ADDED TO CONCERT
TICKETS JUST BEFORE YOU CHECK
OUT THESE FEES ARE NOTHING MORE
THAN A WAY TO HIDE. THE TRUE
PRICE OF A GOOD OR SERVICE AND
MANIPULATE CONSUMERS INTO
OVERSPENDING. HIDDEN FEES COST
CONSUMERS BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
EACH YEAR HURTING VULNERABLE
FAMILIES AT A TIME WHEN THEY CAN
LEAST AFFORD IT. FAMILIES CANNOT
ACCURATELY COMPARE PRICES PLAN
OR BUDGET WHEN COSTS ARE
INFLATED BY HIDDEN REQUIRED FEES
. AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED HIDDEN
FEES COSTS CONSUMERS BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS EACH YEAR IN THIS BILL
UTILIZES EXISTING ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISMS ALLOW ALLOWABLE UNDER
THE C. O. R. A. TO ENSURE THAT
CONSUMERS HAVE PROTECTIONS. THEY
DESPERATELY NEED THERE'S NO NEW
PRIVATE PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION
CREATED BY THIS BILL. LASTLY AS
THE BILL MOVES FORWARD I'LL
CONTINUE TO ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS
IN GOOD FAITH IF THERE ARE ANY
NEEDS FOR CLARIFICATIONS TO THE
BILL OR CONSIDERATION ORCHID
SKEWS ME CONSIDER. EXISTING
TRANSPARENCY LAWS I'M HOPING TO
HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS WHILE
NOT WEAKENING THE IMPORTANT
CONSUMER PROTECTIONS. THE
PRINCIPLE BEHIND THIS BILL IS
SIMPLE THE FINAL PURCHASE PRICE
FOR A GOOD OR SERVICE SHOULDN'T
BE A MYSTERY FOR CALIFORNIA
CONSUMERS. THE PRICEY C. SHOULD
BE AWARE OF PRICE THEY PAY. I
HAVE TWO WITNESSES HERE WITH ME
TODAY ON BEHALF THE BILL'S
SPONSORS. ELEANOR BLOOM SPECIAL
ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL INDIA
AND THE L. KENDALL KAISER FOR
THE CALIFORNIA LOW INCOME
CONSUMER COALITION. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU. YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
ELEANOR BLOOM AND I AM THE
SPECIAL ASSISTANT ATTORNEY
GENERAL FOR ECONOMIC JUSTICE.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONTA IS PROUD
TO SPONSOR US FOUR SEVENTY
EIGHT. ON BEHALF OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL I WANT TO THANK SENATORS
DOT IN SKINNER. FOR AUTHORING
THIS IMPORTANT LEGISLATION TO
PROTECT CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS.
BUSINESSES USE HIDDEN FEES ARE
JUNKIES TO PATCH AN ARTIFICIALLY
LOW HEADLINE PRICE TO ATTRACT
THE CUSTOMER BEFORE REVEALING
ADDITIONAL CHARGE. HIDDEN FEES
ARE BAD FOR CONSUMERS AND BAD
FOR COMPETITION. WHETHER
TRAVELLING PURCHASING CONCERT
TICKETS ARE PAYING A CELL PHONE
BILLS WE ALL KNOW HOW
FRUSTRATING IT IS TO GET TO
CHECK OUT AND FIND OUT THAT
SOMETHING ADVERTISED AS ONE
PRICE. ACTUALLY COSTS MUCH MORE
. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST
FRUSTRATING OBSCURING THE TRUE
PRICE OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE
MAKES IT HARD FOR CONSUMERS TO
CHOOSE. TO SORT BY PRICE AND
MAKE THE DECISION THAT IS BEST
FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES. AT
THE OUTSIDE OF A TRANSACTION TO
PLAN INTO BUDGET. THIS LACK OF
TRANSPARENCY ALSO MAKES IT HARD
FOR HONEST BUSINESSES TO COMPETE
ON PRICE. WE'RE SEEING THIS BAIT
AND SWITCH PRICING ADOPTED IN
MANY INDUSTRIES. RATHER THAN
MOVING TOWARD TRANSPARENCY MORE
BUSINESSES IN MORE INDUSTRIES
ARE CHOOSING TO HIDE THE TRUE
COST. TO A CONSUMER. THERE'S NO
REASON TO TOLERATE HIDDEN FEES.
THESE JUNK FEES COST CONSUMERS
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR
AND HURT WORKING FAMILIES AT A
TIME WHEN EVERY DOLLAR MATTERS
THAT MUCH MORE. THIS DECEPTIVE
PRACTICE ALSO HURTS BUSINESSES
THAT ARE TRYING TO DO BUSINESS
THE RIGHT WAY BAY BEING
TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE PROCESS.
THIS IS ACETATES LEGISLATIVE
ACTION. WE CAN AND SHOULD STOP
THIS WE CAN ENSURE THE DESKTOP
THE FLEECING OF CONSUMERS. WE
CAN AND SHOULD STOP THE
IMBALANCE IN THE MARKET PLACE
THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER FOR
BUSINESSES THAT WANT TO PLAY BY
THE RULES. AND DO RIGHT BY THEIR
CUSTOMERS TO SUCCEED. IN
CALIFORNIA THE PRICE LISTED
SHOULD BE THE PRICE YOU PAY IT'S
PRETTY SIMPLE. SB FOUR SEVENTY
EIGHT WOULD PROHIBIT ADVERTISING
A PRICE FOR GOING TO WAR SERVICE
THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE ALL
REQUIRED CHARGES. OTHER THAN
TAXES AND FEES IMPOSED BY A
GOVERNMENT. SB FOUR SEVEN EIGHT
AS A SIMPLE SOLUTION. WITH THIS
LEGISLATION THAT CALIFORNIA
WOULD MAKE CLEAR THAT THE PRICE
YOU PAY SHOULD THE PRICE YOU SEE
SHOULD BE THE PRICE YOU PAY.
ATTORNEY GENERAL BONTA URGES
YOUR AYE VOTE ON THIS CONSUMER
PROTECTION LEGISLATION. I AM
HERE ALONG WITH MY COLLEAGUE
NICK ACRE. TO ANSWER ANY ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ALREADY

THAT IS NOW OUR OPPOSITION COMES
FROM. OF ARMS SINCE YOU'RE
OPPOSITION HERE IS ABOUT HOW THE
BILL APPROACH ITS GOAL NOT THE
GOAL- FOR CONTEXT SP FOUR SEVEN
IT ADDS A LINE PREVENT DECEPTIVE
ADVERTISING TO SEE LRA OR-
CONSUMER LEGAL REMEDIES ACT- OUR
CONCERNS ARE WITH THAT AND
COMING TO BROAD FLAVORS FIRST.
THE AGS AS I PERSONALLY WAS
AWARE NOT HAS THE DEFENDANT AS
AN ATTORNEY ALREADY CAN FORCE ON
FALSE ADVERTISING FALSE
ADVERTISING LAW PUBLIC GOES.
GOOD CAR COMPANY WAS A CASE THAT
MANY OF US HEARD ABOUT THAT
HAPPENED VERY NEARBY. WHO WENT
DOWN ON FALSE ADVERTISING RENT
THEY DO WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL
THERE. AS THEY SHOULD ABOUT
THOSE ADS WERE NOT ACCURATE- SO
WE HAVE LOOKING THE DIFFERENCE
IN THE FALSE ADVERTISING ON THE
CRA. BIG DIFFERENCE WE SEE IS A
MUCH IMPROVED. AND MUCH
STRONGER- CONSUMER PRIVATE RIGHT
OF ACTION. AND SO IF THIS WERE
JUST ABOUT THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S ENFORCEMENT WILL BE A
DIFFERENT POSITION BUT WE SEE AN
INCREASE PREVENTIVE ACTION. WE
HAVE CONCERN THERE. I'M TRYING
TO SECOND PIECE A NUMBER OF
INDUSTRIES AND INTERESTS
INDUSTRY SPECIFIC MANNERS. HAVE
FEDERAL OR OTHER STATE
OBLIGATIONS THEY MUST EXACTLY
COMPLY WITH IN THEIR POSTING A
PRICES. AND WE HAVE SOME
CONSIDERS THIS BILL- DOES NOT
HAVE CARVE OUTS TO SAY IF YOU
ARE COMPLYING WITH THE PRECISE
FEDERAL AVIATION FOR YOUR
INDUSTRY. THEN YOU ARE NOT
IMMUNE HERE. SO AS AN INDUSTRY
SPECIFIC CONCERNS THERE AS WELL.

YES SIR- MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I'M
PRESENTING SP THREE TEN
PERTAINING TO CULTURAL BURNING
SB THREE TEN WOULD RECOGNIZE
TRIBAL SOVEREIGNTY WITH RESPECT.
TO CULTURAL BURNING PRACTICES SB
THREE TEN IS ANOTHER IN A SERIES
OF BILL I'VE AUTHORED FEUD VANCE
THE USE OF PRESCRIBED FIRE FOR
WILDFIRE PREVENTION IN FORCE
MANAGEMENT. THIS BILL WOULD BEST
THE AUTHORITY IN THE SECRETARY
OF NATURAL RESOURCES TO DECIDE
IN. IF IN RECOGNITION OF TRIBAL
SOVEREIGNTY CERTAIN STATE
APPROVALS FOR CULTURAL BERNIE
MAY BE WAIVED IN PURSUANT TO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THE STATE
RESOURCES SECRETARY NATIVE
AMERICAN TRIBE WOULD NOT ONLY.
BE ABLE TO CONTINUE THEIR
CULTURAL BURNING PRACTICES BUT
ALSO BENEFIT FROM LIABILITY
PROTECTIONS GRANTED DO CERTIFIED
BURN BOSSES- INDEED ALSO HAVE
ACCESS TO THE PRESCRIBED FIRE
LIABILITY PILOT PROGRAM WHICH IS
STATUS BY MY S. B. NINE TWENTY
SIX LAST SESSION. THE BILL
SUPPORTED BY A NUMBER OF
ORGANIZATIONS INCLUDING THE
PACIFIC FOREST TRUST DEFENDERS
OF WILDLIFE AND THE CALIFORNIA
FARM BUREAU IN THE HUMBOLDT
REDWOOD TIMBER COMPANY WITH ME
TODAY IS SIR CLARK. REPRESENTING
THE GROUP TRIED. GOOD AFTERNOON
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS SERRA CLARK I'M A
PARTNERSHIP MALIAN WEINBERGER
WHERE I WORK ON NATURAL RESOURCE
AND TRIBAL ISSUES AND I WORKED
WITH THE CORRECT DRIVING
CULTURAL BURNING ISSUES FOR THE
PAST NUMBER OF YEARS WE ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE ON SB THREE TEN.
I'M I'M INTERESTED THIS
COMMITTEE SB THREE TEN INCLUDES
A SMALL BUT IMPORTANT EXPANSION
TO THE LEGISLATION ACTION BY
SENATOR DODD I RELATED TO
PRESCRIBED FIRE AND CULTURAL
BURNING LIABILITY. CONCERNS OVER
LIABILITY ARE FREQUENTLY CITED
AS BARRIERS TO THE USE OF
PRESCRIBED FIRE AND CULTURAL
BURNING BOTH OF WHICH ARE ARE
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS
AT THE WILDFIRE CRISIS FACING
THE STATE. SB THREE THREE TWO
MADE IT LESS LIKELY THAT PRIVATE
LANDOWNERS AND TRIBES WOULD
RECEIVE A SUPPRESSION COSTS BILL
IF THEY NEEDED HELP WITH AN
ESCAPED PRESCRIBED FIRE. SO LONG
AS THEY WERE FOLLOWING CERTAIN
BEST PRACTICES. SB NINETY SIX
PROVIDES ACCESS TO A STATE
BACKED CLEANS FUND FOR ANY THIRD
PARTY CLAIMS. SB THREE TEN THIS
YEAR WOULD ALLOW FEDERALLY
QUALIFIED BURN BOSSES AND
CULTURAL FIRE PRACTITIONERS TO
RELY ON THESE I'VE RELAXED
LIABILITY STANDARDS AND TO HAVE
ACCESS TO THE CLAIMS FUNDS. IN
ADDITION TRIBES AND NATIVE
AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE PRACTICE
CULTURAL BURNING SINCE TIME
IMMEMORIAL FOR MANY BENEFITS.
TRIED TO THE MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE
ABOUT THESE PRACTICES AND HAVE
NEVER CEDED OR RELINQUISHED
CONTROL OVER THEM. SB THREE TEN
WOULD TAKE THE IMPORTANT STEP OF
FORMALLY RECOGNIZING TRIBAL
SOVEREIGNTY WITH RESPECT TO
CULTURAL BURNING AND STATE LAW.
IN FURTHERANCE OF THE
SOVEREIGNTY SB THREE TEN WOULD
ENABLE THE SECRETARY OF NATURAL
RESOURCES TO ENTER INTO
AGREEMENTS WITH FEDERALLY
RECOGNIZED TRIBES TO COORDINATE
CULTURAL BURNING ACTIVITIES ON
THEIR ANCESTRAL LANDS.
SPECIFICALLY THE SECRETARY IS
AUTHORIZED TO FIND ITS STATE
PERMITS ISSUED BY CAL FIRE AND
AIR DISTRICTS ARE NOT REQUIRED
FOR CULTURAL BURNING PROGRAMS.
INSTEAD THESE POTENTIAL HEALTH
AND SAFETY ISSUES WOULD BE
HANDLED BY. BY TRIBAL LAW IN
COORDINATION WITH THE STATE.
THESE THESE CHANGES WOULD HAVE
BENEFITS FOR BOTH TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES AND NINE NON TRIBAL
COMMUNITIES LIKE. AGAIN WE
REQUEST. YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME. ALL RIGHT. OTHERS
IN SUPPORT. SEEING NO ONE OF
THOSE OPPOSITION PRIMARY
OPPOSITION. MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS

REPRESENTING THAT. EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS FROM ALL THIRTY FIVE
LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS I
RESPECTFULLY WE HAVE AN OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION ON THE
BILL. WE AGREE THE CULTURE BURKE
BURNS AND PRESCRIBED FIRE IN
GENERAL ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AT
REDUCING WILDFIRE RISK. AND
WE'VE BEEN AND IMPLEMENTING
PROGRAMS ENGAGING IN DISCUSSION
TO EXPAND PRESCRIBED FIRE FROM
TWENTY NINETEEN TO TWENTY TWENTY
ONE WE'VE APPROVED 99% OF ALL
BURN PERMITS- WE'RE ALSO
ADVOCATING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
WITH THEM. USEPA TO MAKE SURE
WHEN THEY UPDATE THE- FEDERAL
HEALTH BASED STANDARDS FOR PM
TWO POINT FIVE THAT THEY
CONSIDER PRESCRIBED FIRE
OTHERWISE WE WILL BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT THAT IN CALIFORNIA-
LIKE WE ARE NOW- ALSO- AIR
DISTRICTS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
THE CALIFORNIA RESOURCE.
RESOURCES BOARD CAL FIRE FEDERAL
LAND MANAGERS TRIBES AND OTHERS
WERE CLOSELY TO ENSURE THAT
EMISSIONS FROM PRESCRIBED FIRES.
DO NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT DOWN

NOTIFICATION IMPORTANTLY- AND
SMOKE MODELING REQUIREMENTS TO

AREAS- CONSISTENT WITH THE U. S.
CONSTITUTION. YOUR DISTRICTS DO
NOT REQUIRE NATIVE AMERICAN
TRIBES TO OBTAIN PERMITS ARE FOR
CULTURAL BURNS ON FEDERALLY
RECOGNIZED TRUST LANDS HOWEVER
BECAUSE OF THE DEFINITION. OF
ANCESTRAL TERRITORY IN THIS BILL
WITH THE SIGN OFF OF THE
SECRETARIES OF NATURAL RESOURCES
IN CALLIE PA CULTURAL BURNS
WOULD BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE IN THE
STATE WITHOUT THE SAFETY
MEASURES I DESCRIBED AS LONG AS
PERMISSIONS GIVEN BY THE
LANDOWNER. AND I'LL JUST FINISH

I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS AND
THANK YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFER
WORKING WITH MY STAFF- TO GET
THIS TO WHERE IT IS TODAY AND
APPRECIATE THE CHAIR. AND ALL
THE WORK THAT EVERYBODY'S DONE
SB THREE FIFTY SEVEN WOULD
PROVIDE DOCTORS WITH MORE
DISCRETION REPORT ANY CONDITIONS
THEY BELIEVE WILL IMPAIR THE
PATIENT'S INABILITY TO DRIVE
INCLUDING EPILEPSY. EPILEPSY IS
THE FOURTH MOST COMMON
NEUROLOGICAL DISORDER EXPECTED
X. AFFECTING MORE THAN FOUR
HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
CALIFORNIANS AND THREE POINT
FOUR MILLION AMERICANS MANY OF
US HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS INCLUDING
MY OWN FAMILY. WITH SOMEBODY WHO
HAS EPILEPSY AND SO WE'RE
UPDATING A LOT THAT GOES BACK TO
NINETEEN FIFTY SEVEN AND FRANKLY
WHAT THIS WILL DO IS ALLOW- MORE
CARE TO GET TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
AND ALLOW MORE PEOPLE TO DRIVE
SAFELY AND WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE WHEN WE HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT AND I
DO HAVE A PRIMARY WITNESS. DR WE
HAVE- REBECCA- HOLYWELL FROM THE
EPILEPSY FOUNDATION AND DAVID
PARKER. WHO IS ALSO WITH US TO A
TESTIFIED. ALL RIGHT BUTTE
APPROACH THE MICROPHONE. I GET
AFTERNOON ABOUT A HOLLOW WELL IN
THE DIRECTOR THE EPILEPSY
FOUNDATION LOS ANGELES. I THINK
YOU CHAIR ON BURKE AND ALL THE
MEMBERS FOR BE ABLE TO SPEAK
WITH YOU TODAY. SO CALIFORNIA IS
THE LAST ONE IS SIX STATES IN
THE NATION THAT HAS MANDATORY
REPORTING- AS I KNOW YOU GUYS
ARE AWARE. PHYSICIAN IS REQUIRED
TO REPORT THAT LOTS OF
CONSCIOUSNESS THAT INFORMATION
GOES TO THE LOCAL HEALTH AGENCY.
THEN GOES TO THE DMV AND THEN
THEY DECIDE. CENTER DIFFERENT
OUTCOMES ARE SOME OF WHICH WOULD
BE REVOKING SOMEBODY'S LICENSE
TONIGHT OR- ALL- REFUSING TO
ISSUE THE LICENSE. OF THE TIME I
KIND OF BERRIES. BUT IT CAN BE
UP TO TWO MONTHS- FOR
RESOLUTION. AND THAT CAN MEAN
POTENTIALLY SOMEBODY NOT BEING
ABLE TO GET TO WORK TO DRIVE TO
WORK. ON THAT COULD BE TWO
MONTHS LOSS OF INCOME- YOU KNOW
MANDATORY REPORTING CAN REALLY
BE UNNECESSARY BURDEN ESPECIALLY
FOR THE 70% OF PEOPLE WITH
EPILEPSY WHO MAY BE ABLE TO
FINANCES ARE CONTROLLED THROUGH
MEDICATION- OR THE PERSON WHO
REALLY HAS SEIZURES AT NIGHT. OF
LAWS THAT AT THAT LAW AS IT
EXISTS TODAY COMPROMISES THE
PATIENT DOCTOR RELATIONSHIP. AND
JEOPARDIZES THE PATIENT FROM
BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THAT CARE.
OF THIS LAW IS JUST BURDENSOME
AND WHEN PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE OUTCOME COULD BE- AND THEY
HAVE A CHANGE IN THEIR SEIZURE
CONTROL THE RELUCTANT TO SPEAK
WITH THEIR DOCTORS- THE
RELUCTANT TO TRY TO FIND BETTER
CARE- AND TRYING TO MEDICATIONS
SOMETIMES THEY LOSE THAT SEIZURE
CONTROL BECAUSE IT'S- OUT OF.
OUT OF THEIR HANDS. MAYBE THE
PHARMACY SOURCE THE MEDICATION
FROM A DIFFERENT SUPPLIER THAT
MONTH. OTHERS LAPSE IN TREATMENT
BECAUSE THE INSURANCE COMPANY
TODAY COVERAGE OF THE
MEDICATION- YOU KNOW THERE'S A
HOST OF REASONS WHY THEY COULD
HAVE HAD THAT LOSS THAT SEIZURE
CONTROL- BUT REALLY WHAT IT
COMES DOWN TO THE DOCTORS CAN'T
PROPERLY CARE FOR PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITY IF THERE ISN'T THAT.
HONEST AND OPEN COMMUNICATION.
AND I CONTROLLED SEIZURES ARE
ARE. PRETTY BAD I MEDIA PEOPLE
PASSED AWAY- SB THREE FIFTY
SEVEN DOESN'T CHANGE THE
EXISTING PROCESS. OUR DOCTORS
CAN AND WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT
FOR THE PURPOSES OF PUBLIC
SAFETY THIS BILL JUST SIMPLY
ALLOWS DOCTORS THE SAME
DISCUSSION TEND NOT REPORT. WHEN
THE SITUATION ISN'T WARRANTED
ARE WE RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE THANK YOU THANK. YOU ALL
RIGHT OTHERS IN SUPPORT. GO
AHEAD GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS
DAVID PARKER I'M A MEMBER OF THE
BOARD THE EPILEPSY FOUNDATION
LOS ANGELES AND THE CHAIR OF A
PUBLIC POLICY COMMITTEE. I WANNA
THANK CENTER PORTANTINO FOR
OFFERING THIS IMPORTANT BILL.
AND SHARON BIRD FOR CAUGHT
THROUGH THIS BILL AND THE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE FOR WORKING
WITH US ON THE LINE WHICH- EVERY
PERSON IN THIS ROOM LIKELY KNOW
SOMEONE WHO'S HAD A SEIZURE-
THAT MAY COME AS A SURPRISE
BECAUSE PEOPLE OFTEN DON'T LIKE
TO TALK ABOUT THEIR SEIZURES.
WITH GOOD REASON. OUTDATED LAWS
LIKE THE ONE WE'RE TRYING TO
CHANGE RIGHT NOW. MEET PEOPLE
WITH EPILEPSY AFRAID TO TALK
ABOUT THEIR SEIZURES WITH THEIR
OWN DOCTORS FOR FEAR OF LOSING
THEIR LICENSES. WHICH CAN MEAN
LOSING THEIR JOBS THEIR
LIVELIHOODS THEIR INDEPENDENCE.
DESPITE ITS PREVALENCE EPILEPSY
HAS BEEN THROUGHOUT HISTORY ONE
OF THE MISSED MOST MISUNDERSTOOD
AND STIGMATIZED MEDICAL
CONDITIONS. MENTOR REPORTING NOT
ONLY PERPETUATES THAT STIGMA
IT'S VERY EXISTENCE IS ROOTED IN
PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION.
THE NINETEEN FIFTY SEVEN LAW
REQUIRING PHYSICIANS TO QUOTE
REPORT IMMEDIATELY EVERY PERSON
DIAGNOSED AS A CASE OF EPILEPSY
OR SIMILAR DISORDERS
CHARACTERIZED BY LAPSE OF
CONSCIOUSNESS. HAS REMAIN
SUBSTANTIVELY INTACT FOR ALMOST
SEVEN DECADES. THAT MEANS THAT
THE CURRENT MANDATORY REPORTING
LIVE DATES FROM A TIME WHEN THE
CALIFORNIA VEHICLE CODE
PROHIBITED LICENSES FROM BEING
ISSUED TO ANYONE AND I QUOTE.
WHO IS INSANE OR FEEBLE MINDED
OR AN IDIOT IMBECILE OR
EPILEPTIC. THE LANGUAGE IS
SHAMEFUL AS IS THE ATTITUDE OF
REPRESENTED. BUT THIS IS THE
CONTEXT IN WHICH MANDATORY
REPORTING WAS INTRODUCED. TO BE
VERY CLEAR WE SUPPORT PHYSICIANS
CONTINUING TO BE ABLE TO REPORT
PATIENTS WHO MAY NOT BE SAFE TO
DRIVE. WHAT WE ARE STANDING UP
AGAINST IS SINGLING OUT DRIVERS
WITH SPECIFIC CONDITIONS
INCLUDING EPILEPSY. BASED NOT ON
DATA OR EVIDENCE OF AN
INDIVIDUAL DRIVERS ABILITIES BUT
AN OUTDATED ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT
CERTAIN DIAGNOSES. I WILL SHARE
ONE STAT. ONE STUDY ESTIMATED
THAT POINT 00001% OF ACCIDENTS
ARE CAUSED BY DRIVER WITH
EPILEPSY. THAT'S ONE IN A
MILLION. THIS BILL WILL NOT TAKE
ANY AUTHORITY WAY FROM THE DMV
TO MAKE DETERMINATIONS ON
INDIVIDUAL DRIVER FITNESS. AT
THAT OKAY ALL RIGHT OKAY. ALL
RIGHT. OPPOSITION THOSE OPPOSED

THAT HAS BEEN BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE FOR FIVE YEARS NOW
WE'VE- THERE'S A BILL PENDING IN
THE ASSEMBLY AND ONE IN- THIS
BILL HERE IN THE SENATE. YOU
HAVE A SERIOUSLY QUALITY
ANALYSIS HERE DONE BY IT IS
MEREDITH SHE SETS THE HISTORICAL
CONTEXT FOR NOTARIAL ACTS AND
TALKS ABOUT BOTH THE BIG POLICY
ISSUES. AND THE MORE-
OPERATIONAL PLANS BIG POLICY
QUESTIONS DEAL WITH INTERSTATE
RECOGNITION. OF NOTARIAL ACTS
DONE IN OTHER STATES. AND THE
QUESTION ABOUT WHO USED TO WHEN
SOMETHING GOES WRONG IN A
NOTARIAL ACT. WE ACTUALLY THINK
RON. NOTARIZATION SCANNED- IMPRO
. THE REAL. OF NOTE. AT USING
TECHNOLOGY BUT THE- ANALYSIS
PROPERLY FRAMES BOTH THE BIG
ISSUES AND THE MORE OPERATIONAL
ONES AND WE ARE GETTING CLOSER
AND CLOSER. TO A PRODUCT THAT
CAN BE ENACTED HERE IN

WORTHY OF MOVING FORWARD WE

IS MATT MILLER PRESENTLY
CALIFORNIA WE GIVE INDEPENDENT
NOTARIES. AND WE ARE NOT HERE
TODAY TO STAND IN THE WAY OF
PROGRESS BUT WE WANT TO SPEAK
ABOUT THE BIG ISSUE THAT WAS
SPOKEN ABOUT BY MUCH OF THE LOW.
WELL THE SPIRIT OF THE BILL MAY
BE GOOD WE BELIEVE THAT THIS
BILL IS TROJAN HORSE- BECAUSE
WELL THE PROPONENTS SAY THAT'LL
EXPAND ACCESS TO NOTARIAL
SERVICES LISTED CALIFORNIA FOR
RESIDENTS. WE BELIEVE THIS BILL
WILL HAVE AN OPPOSITE EFFECT- IT
WILL CREATE A PERMISSIVE
ENVIRONMENT TO ALLOW OUT OF
STATE TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES THAT
FACILITATE THESE TRANSACTIONS TO
CONSOLIDATE THE BUSINESS AND
THEN CHANNEL THEM THROUGH THEIR
NO REFORMS IN STATES WITH LESSER
STANDARDS. THEREFORE PUTTING
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS AT RISK.
ALSO IF SOMETHING SHOULD GO AWRY
WITH AN ONLINE ORGANIZATION FOR
BUYING OUT OF STATE NOTARY.
THERE'S LITTLE THAT CALIFORNIA
CAN DO FOR THIS PERSON BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE JURISDICTION OVER
OUT OF STATE NOTARIES. ALSO THIS
WILL DRIVE LOCAL NOTARIES OUT OF
BUSINESS CREATING AN UNDUE
BURDEN FOR CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
AND BUSINESSES WHO ARE SEEKING
IN PERSON NOTARIZATION. ARE ALSO
COULD LEAD TO THE LOSS OF A
CONTROL OF THE RESISTANCE THAT
CALIFORNIA. WE THINK THE
ASSEMBLY BILL AUTHORED BY COBB
ASSEMBLY MEMBER. PETRIE NORRIS
IS THE PROPER BILL FOR
CALIFORNIA RENDERING THIS BILL
OBSOLETE. AND WE KINDLY ASK FOR

SORRY SEN UNSERER THE RUSSELL
YES- I JUST ONE I KNOW THE-
SYSTEM I KNOW THIS IS ABOUT
TECHNOLOGY AND I'M NOT THE
EXPERT IN TECHNOLOGY BUT- CAN
YOU DESCRIBE IN SOME WAY HOW-
THE GUIDELINES REGARDING
TECHNOLOGY- AND THE PRIVACY IN
THE DATA RETENTION. HOW THAT
WOULD WORK JUST YEAH HELLO A
LITTLE BIT MORE THAN. THAT'S
WHAT I HAVE A SON- YES I CAN. DO
MY BEST IMPROVE BRIEFLY RUN
THROUGH THAT SO EXISTING PRIVACY
SCHEMES LIKE CONTEST CCPA IN C.
P. R. A. WILL STILL APPLY- THERE
ARE ADDITIONAL PRIVACY
RESTRICTIONS ON WHAT A PLATFORM
THAT. GATHERS INFORMATION DURING
A NOTARIZATION AND DO WITH THAT
INCLUDING- MAKING SURE THE
NOTARIZATION HAPPENS COMPLY WITH
A LAWFUL SUBPOENA DETECTING
FRAUD IT CETERA BUT THERE'S NO.
BROAD EXCEPTION FOR USING DATA-
AND YOUR OTHER QUESTION WHAT I
BELIEVE WAS ABOUT HOW THE
NOTARIZATION IS ACTUALLY OCCURS.
IS THAT CORRECT. TWENTY
GUIDELINES IS REALLY WHAT I'M
TRYING TO GET OUT THE TECHNOLOGY
GUIDELINES RIGHT EXISTING LAW
THE BILL'S PROVISIONS AROUND
WHAT PLATFORMS CAN AND CAN'T DO
AND THEN THE PRIVATE RIGHT OF
ACTION AS TO- WHAT IT PERSON MAY
SUE IF THEY'RE INJURED BY THE
PLATFORMS CONDUCT. I'M SORRY ONE
MORE WITH THE DATA RETENTION
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ONLINE
NOTARIZATION RIGHT THE
INFORMATION HAS TO BE RETAINED
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AND- THE
NOTARIES GOING TO EITHER
CONTRACT WITH. A IMPROVED SYSTEM
TO STORE THE INFORMATION- AND
EVENTUALLY THAT WILL GO TO ACE
UNDER THE BILL A REPOSITORY
CREATED WITH THE SECRETARY OF
STATE TO HOLD THAT INFORMATION.
THANK YOU ALREADY THANK YOU

HOW PEOPLE HAVE BECOME MORE
CUSTOM TO REMOTE SERVICES. WE
HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE THE
CONSUMER PROTECTION WE HAVE THE
PRIVACY PROTECTION WE SHOULD TRY
TO MAKE THIS CONVENIENT FOR
FOLKS AND- I DON'T THINK IT'S
GOING TO HAVE THE DRAMATIC
EFFECT THAT THE OPPOSITION IS
STATING BUT I DO THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT AS A BODY. WE EMBRACE
TECHNOLOGY THAT ENHANCES THE
QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR FOLKS AND
RESPECTS WHAT WE JUST WENT
THROUGH. THROUGH THE PANDEMIC I
THINK IT'S MORE OF A
PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION AND THE
SAFEGUARDS ARE IN PLACE. AND I
THINK THAT'S SORT OF WHAT WE
NEED TO DO. OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS SEEING NONE IS THERE

Q. BACK IN THE SUBJECT RT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. A MEMBERS
QUESTIONS COMMENTS SAYING NO
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS SO
CABALLERO. THE ONLY COMMENT I
HAVE IS THAT IS THAT THIS IS
GOING TO REQUIRE A PUBLIC THAT
PUBLIC EDUCATION CAMPAIGN.
BECAUSE TO ALLOW CITIES TO START
SLAPPING RESIDENTS BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE THE MARKINGS ON THE
TRASH CAN- IS- IS PRETTY
DRACONIAN- AND IF YOU JUST DON'T
EVEN KNOW THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE IT I THINK IT'S A GOOD
BILL. BUT I THINK IT'S GOOD
THERE'S A PUBLIC EDUCATION
CAMPAIGN OR THE COMPANIES THAT.
DISPOSAL COMPANIES ARE GOING TO
NEED TO MAKE THOSE LITTLE KITS
AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN PUT A
DEFINING FACTORS ON YOUR TRASH
CAN AND- REFLECTED LIGHTS OR
WHATEVER IT IS IT'S REQUIRED.
THAT SENATOR IF I MAY COMMENT.
SURE YEP IT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE LARGE SHOULD IF THE
DUMPSTERS. AND WHAT BECAUSE THIS
WHOLE BILL WAS THAT ACCIDENT AND
JIM WAS KILLED BECAUSE THE DIPTI
DUMPSTER WAS IN THE- ALLEYWAY.

AND GIVE USE OF POWER TO LEAD TO
DEMAND. THEIR DATE ON DEMAND
FREELY EASILY ONLINE ONCE AND
FOR ALL. OF THE SEA OF THE
BIGGEST OF ALL TECH COMPANIES
TELLS US WITH THE ABILITY FOR
CONSUMERS TO HIT HAVE A GLOBAL
DELETE BUTTON. WHEN IT COMES A
THIRD PARTY TO COLLECT YOUR MOST
SENSITIVE DATA. THIS DATA
INCLUDES PRECISE GEOLOCATION
WHAT APPS WE HAVE IN OUR PHONE A
MEDICAL HISTORY REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH INFORMATION WE KNOW IF.
YOU WENT TO A REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CLINIC- AND WE CAN BUILD
A BIT OF ROBUST PROFILE YOU
HEALTH PROFILE VIEW. AND WHAT
PURCHASES WE MAKE AND ANYONE
WITH A CREDIT CARD CAN BY THIS
INFORMATION. THIS. VICTIMS AND-
LOTS OF THINGS THAT WE'VE SEEN.
THIS IS BIPARTISAN AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL IT DID NOT PASS
BUT AS BI PARTISAN AND FROM
CENTER OSSOFF. AND CENTER
CASSIDY. UNDER OUR BELT CALPERS
GONNA ONE. ONLINE PORTAL SPEND
JUST THIRTY SECONDS REQUESTED
DATA BROKERS DELETE ANY DATA
THEY HAVE ON THEM AND NO LONGER
TRACK THEM. THAT'S IT BUT WHEN I
TALK TO SOMEBODY SPOKE TO SAY
YEAH WE DON'T WANT HAPPY
CUSTOMERS WE WILL MAKE IT EASY
RIGHT THIS WAY TO MAKE IT EASY.
WE CAN GET YOU THE OPPOSITION
ARE STILL WORKING ON LANGUAGE TO
ADDRESS OUR PRODUCT AND
PROTECTION CONCERNS. BETTER THIS
BILL CONSUMERS CAN ACTUALLY
ACCESS TO PRIVACY RIGHTS AND
FINALLY TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR
DATA. WITH ME HERE TODAY JUSTIN
BROCKMAN CONSUMER REPORTS AND
DANNY- KONDO K. A KAISER- HAVE
THE PRIVACY RIGHTS
CLEARINGHOUSE. OUR THANK YOU
MUCH. THE RETURN APPEARANCE GO
AHEAD. I THINK IT AFTERNOON
DANNY CAN'T GO BECAUSE OUR ON
BEHALF OF THE SPONSORS OF THE
BILL. PRIVACY RIGHTS
CLEARINGHOUSE. THIS BILL CREATES
AN ONLINE PORTAL FOR CONSUMERS
TO REQUEST THAT DATA BROKERS TO
LEE A CONSUMERS DATA AND NO
LONGER TRACK THEM. THIS ONE AND
DONE WEB PAGE WILL SAY
CALIFORNIANS FROM THE IMPOSSIBLE
TASK OF REQUESTING THE DELETION
OF DATA. FROM APPROXIMATELY FIVE
HUNDRED CURRENTLY REGISTERED
DATA BROKERS. SB THREE SIXTY TWO
MARKS A MAJOR STEP IN ENSURING.
CALIFORNIANS CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT TO PRIVACY BUT IT IS NOT
SIMPLY ANOTHER PRIVACY BILL.
WITH THE OVERTURNING OF ROE V.
WADE AND DRACONIAN LAWS AIMED AT
THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY AMERICA
HAS ENTERED AN ERA OF INCREASED
CONCERNS. AROUND THE IMPACT OF
DATA BROKERS. HOUSE CONCERNS
OVER TARGETED ADVERTISING HAVE
TURNED INTO THE VERY REAL THREAT
THE DATA COLLECTED CAN BE
WEAPONIZED AGAINST US IF LEFT
UNCHECKED. LET ME GIVE YOU SOME
EXAMPLES. FOR JUST ONE HUNDRED
AND SIXTY DOLLARS A REPORTER CAN
PURCHASE A WEEK'S WORTH OF DATA
WHERE PEOPLE WHO VISITED PLANNED
PARENTHOOD CAME FROM. AND WHERE
THEY WENT AFTERWARDS. I SAYS USE
BROKERS TO BYPASS THE NEED FOR
WARRANTS AND TRACK IMMIGRANTS
GEO LOCATION. AND LAST MONTH FBI
DIRECTOR CHRISTOPHER WRAY
ADMITTED. THAT THE FBI HAS
PURCHASED. GEOLOCATION DATA
INFORMATION FROM BROKERS. SOME
DATING APPS OF USE USERS
LOCATION DATA TO- AND SOLD OUT
TO BROKERS. AND MULTIPLE
MULTIPLE BROKERS HAVE SOLD THE
PERSONAL DATA OF USERS OF MUSLIM
PRAYER APPS TO U. S. MILITARY
CONTRACTORS. IN TWENTY TWENTY A
BROKER WAS FOUND TO HAVE
IDENTIFIED THE RESIDENCES OF
BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTESTERS
USING LOCATION DATA. AND FINALLY
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE SENATORS
CLOSURE AND MAKOWSKY WROTE AND I
QUOTE. WE BELIEVE ADDITIONAL
HAZARD MEASURES TO PROTECT
PERSONAL DATA SHOULD BE TAKEN TO
ENSURE THE PRIVACY OF VICTIMS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. SEXUAL
VIOLENCE AND STALKING AND TO
MAKE IT EASIER FOR THEM TO
REMOVE THEIR INFORMATION FROM
DATA BROKERS SITES. I COULD GO
ON BUT THE POINT IS THE CURRENT
LAW REQUIRES CALIFORNIANS TO
VISIT HUNDREDS OF DATABROKER
SITES TO BETTER PROTECT
THEMSELVES. WITH SB THREE SIXTY
TWO WE CAN VISIT A SINGLE
WEBPAGE TO TELL THESE THIRD
PARTY BROKERS. WHO WE HAVE NO
RELATIONSHIP WITH TO DELETE OUR
DATA I THINK YOU AND I URGE HER
AYE VOTE TODAY. THANK YOU OTHERS
IN SUPPORT. HI JUSTIN BROOKMAN
DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY POLICY
CONSUMER REPORTS- HERE TO URGE
SUPPORT FOR SENATE BILL TO A
THREE SIXTY TWO TO GIVE
CONSUMERS SOME PRACTICAL CONTROL
OVER ALL THE DATA BROKERS- DATA
DATA PERHAPS ABOUT THEM. A
SENATOR BOOKER SAID TODAY WE
LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE ANY DATA
BROKER CAN I COLLECT INCREDIBLY
FOR BY A MERGE STYLE INCREDIBLY
SENSITIVE DATA ABOUT US OUR
BROWSING HISTORIES ARE APP USAGE
WHAT WE BY PRECISE GEOLOCATION
OVERTIME. CALIFORNIA HAS A DATA
BROKER REGISTRY BUT IT'S NOT
PRACTICAL USABLE BY CONSUMERS
THAT FIVE HUNDRED DIFFERENT
COMPANIES ON THERE. A COUPLE
YEARS AGO CONSUMER REPORTS
ACTUALLY COMMISSIONED A STUDY ON
THE USABILITY OF C. T. PAY OPT
OUT RIGHTS WE HAD CONSUMERS- GO
TO ONE COMPANY ON THE DATABROKER
REGISTRY AND TRY TO EXERCISE
THEIR RIGHTS- PARTICULARLY THE
MASS. OF THE PEOPLE WERE
CONFUSED BY WHAT WHAT BY THE
PROCESS THEY COULDN'T FIND THE
OPT OUT LINK- THEY WERE THERE
TO. COULD COMPUTING LABORIOUS
PROCESS HE'S HAD TO ACCEPT
COOKIES OR FAX IN THEIR DRIVER'S
LICENSE MOST OF OUR PARTICIPANTS
REPORTED THEY WERE JUST- A
SOMEWHAT OR SERIOUSLY
DISSATISFIED WITH THE PROCESS.
AND THAT'S JUST ONE COMPANY AND
THAT'S JUST FOR OPTING OUT OF
SALE. BECAUSE THE CALIFORNIA
SUMMERS TODAY ACTUALLY DON'T
HAVE THE RIGHT TO DELETE DATA
FROM THESE DATA BROKERS. THE
FIFTY EIGHT DELETION RATES ONLY.
APPLY TO COMPANIES THAT THE DATA
THAT THE OTHER COMPANIES GET
DIRECTLY FROM CONSUMERS BUT-
THESE ARE CONSUMER FACING
COMPANIES THEY BUY DATA ABOUT US
AND THEREFORE THEY ARE EXEMPTED
FROM FIFTY PAVE DELETION RIGHTS-
THE DAILY ACT I THINK WOULD FIX
THAT IS ACTUALLY. A GOOD OUTLIER
FROM OTHER COMPREHENSIVE PRIVACY
BILL TO GIVE CONSUMERS THE RIGHT
TO DELETE ALL DATA ABOUT THEM-
THAT WILL BE ACTED GIVE
CONSUMERS AN EASY BUTTON TO
DELETE FROM ALL THESE COMPANIES
ALL. ONCE AND WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ALL RIGHT- ANYONE ELSE
OPPOSITION. ENOUGH IF YOU
PLEASE. THE MICROPHONE. THANK
YOU CHAIR MEMBERS RUN UP THE
ALONG WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSITION SB THREE SIX TWO. WE
UNDERSTAND THE PROMISE OF THE
BILL TO BE A LOOPHOLE IN C. C.
P. THAT AFFECTION. EFFECTIVELY
EXEMPTS DATA BROKERS FROM
CONSUMER DELETION REQUEST. BUT
WHILE THE CCP RATES ARE NOT
LIMITLESS THE EXISTING LIMITS
FOR EXCEPTIONS ARE NOT
LOOPHOLES. THEY'RE INTENTIONAL
AND NECESSARY TO BALANCE AGAINST
COMPETING INTERESTS OPERATIONAL
ISSUES AND UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. FIRST A CONSUMER'S
DAILY SURPRISE FLOWS DOWN FROM
THE BUSINESS THAT HAS A DIRECT
RELATIONSHIP WITH TO THOSE WITH
WHOM IT DOES NOT. INCLUDE
SERVICE PROVIDERS CONTRACTORS
AND THIRD PARTIES WITH WHOM BE.
AT BUSINESS SHARED OR SOLD TO
CONSUMERS PI. SECOND THE REASON
WHY THE CCP'S WRITER BILLY WAS
PRESS TO HELP. TO DATA COLLECTED
FROM THE CONSUMER NOT ABOUT THE
CONSUMER. WAS INTENTIONAL TO
AVOID INFRINGING ON THE RIGHTS
OF OTHERS FOR EXAMPLE I CAN ASK
THE BUSINESS TO DELETE A PHOTO I
UPLOAD IT ONTO THEIR SITE. BUT
MY FRIEND UPLOADS THE SAME PHOTO
I CANNOT FORCE THEM TO DELETE
THAT PHOTO. IT'S ALSO A CERTAIN
DATA THAT'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE
SUCH AS- THOSE IN PUBLIC RECORDS
NOT BEING PERSONAL INFORMATION
UNDER THE CCPA. IN FACT VOTERS
EXPANDED CATEGORY WHAT'S WHAT'S
CONSIDER PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND
PROP TWENTY FOUR. WE APPRECIATE
AND BELIEVE THAT THE FIRST
AMENDMENT EXCEPTION AND- TO
PROCESSING DELETION ACROSS UNDER
THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO
CONCLUSION QUESTIONS HOW EXACTLY
THE BILL IMPROVES UPON THE CCP'S
RIGHT DELETION. WHAT THE BILL
DOES DO HOWEVER SUMMIT OTHER
IMPORTANT PROTECTION SUCH AS
THOSE THAT ENSURE DATA SECURITY
TO PREVENT DELETION OF DATA.
THAT IS USED FOR PRESS FRAUD
PREVENTION AUTHENTICATION OR
IDENTIFICATION. THE RIGHT TO
DELETE THAT IGNORE SUCH
CONSIDERATIONS IS BETTER
CHARACTERIZED AS THEIR- ABILITY
TO HIDE. WHICH DOESN'T SERVE
CONSUMERS. LASTLY THE PRACTICAL
CHALLENGES OF EXERCISING CC
PAYER RATES AND ABSENCE OF A
DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
BUSINESS. IS PRECISELY WHY THE
AUTHORED CCPA AROUND THE BILL
THAT CREATED THIS REGISTRY IN
THE FIRST PLACE TO CLOSE THAT
GAP. SO FOR THESE AND. OTHER
REASONS RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE.
THANK YOU. OTHER PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION. THANK
YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS STILL
HOFFMAN ON BEHALF OF TECHNET- IN
THE INTEREST OF TIME ALL ON MY
COMMENTS- WITH THE THAT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM THE CHAMBER. JUST
A COUPLE NOTES ON THE DELETE
ACT. TO DRILL DOWN ON THE POINT
ABOUT IMPORTANT EXEMPTIONS I
THINK THAT SECURITY AND FRAUD
WHEN IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. TO
HIGHLIGHT THAT IS INCLUDED IN
THE TO REACT BUT NOT INCLUDED
HERE SO- WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THE AUTHOR- TO TRY TO
ADDRESS SOME OF OUR CONCERNS. I
MEAN LOOK FOR THE CONVERSATION
BUT RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE IT THIS
TIME THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL

IMMIGRATION- FBI. THAT KIND OF
STUFF IT'S IT JUST SEEMS TO ME

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I
CALIFORNIA IS FACING A MASSIVE
TEACHER SHORTAGE TWO THIRDS OF
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE
REPORTED CHALLENGES. FILLING
VACANT TEACHING POSITIONS AS I
HAVE AS OF OCTOBER TWENTY TWENTY
TO. 18% OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
ONE TEACHER HAD ONE TEACHING
VACANCY AND 27% HAD MULTIPLE
TEACHING VACANCIES. THE STATE
HAS AN IMMEDIATE NEED TO
EXPEDITE THE TEACHER
CREDENTIALING PROCESS WHILE
MAINTAINING THE INTEGRITY OF THE
WORK FORCE. I BELIEVE AN EASY
PART OF THIS SOLUTION IS FOR
QUALIFIED TEACHERS WHO WERE
EDUCATED AND CRIBBAGE
CREDENTIALED IN OTHER STATES.
THE BILL MOVED SWIFTLY INTO A
TEACHING ROLE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. CURRENTLY THE
PROCESS FOR TEACHERS MOVING TO
CALIFORNIA FROM. OUT OF STATE
TAKES OVER TEN WEEKS TO
COMPLETE. FROM THE TIME OF THE
APPLICATION IS TURNED IN THAT'S
ALMOST AN ENTIRE SEMESTER. THIS
CAN BECOME PARTICULARLY ONEROUS
FOR MILITARY SPOUSES WHO ARE
FREQUENTLY CALLED UPON TO
RELOCATE ON SHORT NOTICE AND
WITHOUT PLANNING. FOR CALIFORNIA
HAS WORKED TO IMPROVE EDUCATOR
EQUIPMENT AND RETENTION RATES
BACKLOGS AND DELAYS IN THE
CONVENTION PROCESS OF CONTINUE
TO CREATE UNDUE BURDENS FOR
TEACHERS LOOKING TO MOVE HERE.
SB EIGHT ELEVEN GIVES CALIFORNIA
ANOTHER OPTION TO SIMPLY SEVERAL
FIGHT TEACHERS MOVING INTO THE
STATE BY JOINING THE INTEREST
STATE TEACHER MOBILITY COMPACT.
THE COMPACT WILL ALLOW TEACHERS
MOVING FROM ONE MEMBER STATE TO
ANOTHER TO BE GRANTED THE
CLOSEST EQUIVALENT. LICENSE TO
THEIR CURRENT CREDENTIAL.
JOINING THE COMPACT WILL MAKE
CALIFORNIA A FOUNDING MEMBER
GIVING US A LEADING VOICE ON THE
COMMISSION. AND ENCOURAGE OTHER
STATES TO FOLLOW OUR LEAD IN
CREATING A MORE STREAMLINED AND
EQUITABLE CREDENTIALED PROCESS.
FOR ALL TEACHERS SEEKING TO MOVE
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
WITH ME TODAY HAVE NED MCKINLEY
FROM THE MARINE CORPS AND TO
PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT I HAVE

COUNCIL OF STATE GOVERNMENTS
GREAT YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES THANK

DEFENSE. I'M JUST REAL QUICK
COMMENTS WE'VE BEEN TRYING FOR A
LONG TIME TO ADDRESS CHALLENGES
OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND
UNDEREMPLOYMENT FOR MILITARY
SPOUSES- WANTED THINGS TO WORK
ON IS A PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE
PORTABILITY. COMPACTS ARE THE
BEST WAY TO DO IT I THIS COMPACT
IN PARTICULAR HAVE THE BIGGEST
IMPACT ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED.
MILITARY SPOUSE TEACHERS MOVING
INTO THE STATE EACH YEAR A
STREAMLINED PATHWAY LIKE THIS
CONTACT WOULD PROVIDE WOULD BE
OUTSTANDING BENEFIT FOR THOSE
FAMILIES THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER PRIMARY WITNESS IN
SUPPORT. YES GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME'S- DAM LOCKS AND I'M THE
DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL CENTER

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT THE
COMMITTEE MAY HAVE THANK YOU.
GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH WE HAVE
ANY LEAD WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
. PROCEED. GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS PATRICIA RUCKER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
ACCORDING TO A MARCH TWENTY
TWENTY THREE LEARNING POLICY
INSTITUTE REPORT IN THE TWO
YEARS FOLLOWING TWENTY EIGHTEEN
TWENTY NINETEEN WHEN MANY NEW
STATE INVESTMENTS WERE BEGINNING
TO BE IMPLEMENTED HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. THE NUMBER OF FULLY
PREPARED NEW ENTRANTS IN TEACHER
PREPARATION PROGRAMS INCREASED
BY ABOUT THIRTY THREE HUNDRED
WELL THE NUMBER OF EMERGENCY
STYLE PERMITS DECREASED BY
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED. THIS
INCREASE REPRESENTS A BREAK FROM
PRIOR TRENDS IN WHICH THE NUMBER
OF NEWLY CREDENTIALED TEACHERS
HAVE BEEN DROPPING FOR OVER TEN
YEARS. NATIONALLY THE NUMBER OF
INDIVIDUALS COMPLETING TEACHER
PREPARATION PROGRAMS DECREASED
BY 22% BETWEEN THE YEARS OF TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE THIRTEEN AND TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN NINETEEN.
CALIFORNIA WAS ON ONE OF ONLY
EIGHT STATES WITH INCREASES
DURING THAT SAME PERIOD. LET'S
BE CLEAR WE DO HAVE A TEACHER
SHORTAGE AND THERE IS A NEED TO
LOOK AT WAYS AND PATHWAYS FOR
TEACHER RECRUITMENT. BUT OUT OF
STATE RECRUITMENT THROUGH THE
COMPACT IS SIMPLY NOT THE ANSWER
CALIFORNIA HAS AGREEMENTS
RECIPROCITY WITH FORTY SIX
STATES AND THERE'S A REASON WHY
WE PROBABLY DON'T HAVE
RECIPROCITY AGREEMENTS WITH THE
FOR STATES THAT DO NOT MEET OUR
STANDARDS. THE WORK THAT OUR
COMMISSION ON TEACHER
CREDENTIALING ALREADY DOES MEETS
OR EXCEEDS THE WORK THAT'S BEEN
PROPOSED AND STILL IT'S
DUPLICATIVE AND UNNECESSARY AND
WE ASK YOU NOT TO SUPPORT IT
THANK YOU. FOR YOUR TESTIMONY.
AT THIS POINT WE WILL TAKE ME TO

INDEPENDENTLY EACH STATE. OF THE
PASSAGE OF THE I. TEAMING MC
WOULD FURTHER EXPEDITE THE OUT
OF STATE WOULD MAKE IT FASTER
WITHIN THE STATES OF THAT
COMPACT- BY JOINING THE COMPACT
NOW. AS A FOUNDING MEMBER THE
COMPACT DOESN'T GO INTO EFFECT
UNTIL THERE'S TEN MEMBER STATES.
CALIFORNIA WOULD BE AT THE LEAD
OF. MAKING THOSE PRINTED
DEFINING THOSE PARAMETERS
INJURED AND DEFINING THOSE
CREDENTIAL REQUIREMENTS MORE
WE'D BE IN THE FIRST FIVE.
DEFENDING THOSE PARAMETERS YEAH
THAT THAT THAT IS CORRECT BUT WE
WOULDN'T. THE COMPACT WHEN GO
INTO EFFECT UNTIL THE TENTH.
MEMBER JOINS IT SERRANO BUT AT
FOUR OTHER STATES THAT DON'T
HAVE OUR INTERESTS MIGHT
PRESSURE US IN WHAT WE SHOULD DO
THAT'S MY POINT IT IS LIKE. I
HAD ENOUGH TROUBLE IN A PRIOR
JOB DEALING WITH THE ONE OF THE-
COMPACT- OF A AND- A AND IT WAS
A REALLY INVOLVED IN A SURRENDER
OF CALIFORNIA'S AUTHORITY AND SO
THE POINT IS I WANT TO KNOW.
THAT THERE'S SOME PROTECTION
HERE AND I WAS JUST WONDERING IS
THERE TRULY ANOTHER WAY TO DO
THIS. THAT IS LIGHT CALIFORNIA
UNILATERALLY CAN DECIDE TO
PRIORITIZE THIS AND IMPLEMENT IT
WITHOUT HAVING TO NEGOTIATE WITH
KENTUCKY AND UTAH AND PEOPLE
THAT. DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE.
WE'RE NOT REP THE GOVERNOR
WESTERN GOVERNORS AND WE KEPT
MEETING IN LAS VEGAS WE COULD
NEVER MEET IN A HOTEL THAT HAD
GAMBLING BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR OF
UTAH WAS IN THE ORGANIZATION
RIGHT. I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO
THOSE KIND OF NEGOTIATION NAME
BAG OF MISTER LOGS AND SPEAK TO
THE SPECIFICS OF HOW THIS IS
GOING TO BE NEGOTIATED SO THAT
CALIFORNIA'S INTEREST CAN BE
PROTECTED. BUT CENTER YES- WHAT
THE OTHER MEMBER STATES WE WERE
GONNA CALIFORNIA IS THE
COMMISSION RULES. SO IN
CALIFORNIA WILL RETAIN THE
SOVEREIGNTY IN THE ABILITY TO
STATE SET STANDARDS WITHIN
CALIFORNIA. THE COMMISSION RULES
THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION REALLY
JUST ADMINISTERS AND IMPLEMENTS
THE COMPACT THEY CAN'T DICTATE
POLICY THE STATE'S- YOU KNOW. SO
IT EXPEDITES TEACHERS TO
CALIFORNIA THAT CALIFORNIA CAN
HIRE UNDER ITS OWN RULES IS THAT
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IT EXPEDITES
TEACHERS TRYING TO HELP YOU HERE
YEAH. HOW THEY DATA IF THAT WAS
A YES OR NO QUESTION YOU SAY YES
THE IT. IT EGGMAN HEIGHTS
TEACHERS IN CALIFORNIA THAT MEET
THE TERMS OF THE COMPACT. THE
COMPACT SET OUT TERMS THAT IF
YOU COME TO CALIFORNIA YOU COME
TO ANY MEMBER STATE. THEY GIVE
YOU AN ACQUITTAL LICENSE IF THEY
OFFER THAT WATCHED. I'M JUST NOT
SURE HE DIDN'T TALK YOURSELF
BACK INTO I THINK THE KEY THERE
IS EQUIVALENT YOU KNOW. IT AND
WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO SET THE
STANDARDS OF WITH THAT
EQUIVALENCY IS. AS A PART OF
BEING IN THE COMPACT. I'M STILL
SKEPTICAL HERE I'M NOT AND I
THINK THE THING ABOUT IT IS. WE
DON'T HAVE TIME TO GET ANYWHERE
ELSE RIGHT WHERE WE'RE GETTING
RIGHT NOW BUT I THINK I WOULD
RESERVE THE RIGHT. IF SO I
UNDERSTAND REALLY CLEARLY THAT
CALIFORNIA'S GIVING UP A
PROVOCATIVE HERE NOT TO WANT
THIS TO MOVE IN A FUTURE STAGE.
AND I THINK THAT'S STILL. THE
THAT IS STILL. NOT TOTALLY CLEAR
. CENTER LAYERED IT THE MOTION
WILL BE FORCED TO GO TO A
PROBES. I SAID ON APPROACH I
THINK YOU SAID OUR PROBES STILL
USED TO OKAY I WANT TO- MONDAYS
BACK WILL BE. WILL WE WILL BE
TO. COMMUNICATE WITH YOU. A VERY
QUICKLY AND EFFICIENTLY ON THESE
ISSUES TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED. OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE CLOSE.
OKAY CENTER ASHBY. YEAH HI. I'M
SORT OF WAFFLING BACK AND FORTH
IN MY MIND ON THIS ONE TOO SO I
GUESS I'M- TURNING ON MY MIKE TO
SAY THAT WELL I'M NOT EVEN SURE
RIGHT NOW EXACTLY HOW MANY VOTE
I'M THINKING ABOUT IT. AND
WHATEVER YOU DO TODAY MIGHT
MIGHT NOT BE THE SAME. AS WHAT I
WOULD DO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER
DOWN THE ROAD TO SAY. I'M KIND
OF INCLINED TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO KEEP WORKING ON IT ALSO GIVE
MYSELF A CHANCE AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND IT THIS IS THE KIND
OF HARD PART ABOUT HAVING FIFTY
BILLS ON ONE THING WE DO THE
BEST WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH A
MALL BUT- I THINK I UNDERSTAND
IT AND I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE A-
LIKE IT WOULD BE OKAY BUT-
RESERVE THE RIGHT TO. TO CHANGE
MY MIND IF IN THE FUTURE IF IT
DOESN'T MAKE AS MUCH SENSE TO ME
OKAY THANK YOU I APPRECIATE THAT
THAT'S FOR. WELL I SAW THIS BILL
IN EDUCATION I THINK WE HAVE-
EDUCATION COMMITTEE CHAIR HERE-
CENTER NEWMAN WHO SUPPORTED IT
AS WELL AND THE WHOLE POINT OF
THIS IS IF YOU HAVE AN
EQUIVALENT LICENSE THAT IT
EXPEDITES THE PROCESS. I THINK
IF WE TALK TO ANY OF OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS WE ARE HURTING FOR
QUALIFIED TEACHERS THAT'S WHY
THE SCHOOL BOARD AT THE SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS ARE OR IN SUPPORT
OF THIS. SO I NEED TO GREAT
BILL. I CAN UNDERSTAND BY SOME
OF THE TESTIMONY WHERE PEOPLE
MIGHT HAVE SOME QUALMS. YOU
WILL- SIDESHOWS AS WE GO
FURTHER. AND I MOVED THE BILL.

WOULD ENACT PROTECTIONS FOR
PURCHASERS OF CARBON OFFSETS
CARBON OFFSETS ARE ARE TRADABLE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS THEY CLAIM
TO REPRESENT A REDUCTION IN
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN THE
ATMOSPHERE HOWEVER DUE TO LACK
OF REGULATIONS AND ENFORCEABLE
STANDARDS. THE CARBON OFFSETS
MARKETS ARE BROKEN AND WE ARE
SEEN BUSINESSES LOSE CONFIDENCE
IN THIS PRODUCT THIS BILL WILL
BRING MUCH NEEDED CLARITY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE VOLUNTARY
VOLUNTARY OFFSETS SPACE BY
ESTABLISHING TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING RULES FOR OFFSETS.
IF YOU PARTICIPATE IN THESE
MARKETS ANY CLAIMS MADE TO
CALIFORNIA CAN. CUT CUSTOMERS
MUST BE FOUNDED AND IN A
REASONABLE BASIS AND PROJECT
UNDERPINNINGS OFFSETS PRODUCE
REAL QUANTIFIABLE QUANTIFIABLE
AND ADDITIONAL CARBON BENEFITS
AS STATED BY THE ACADEMIC
RESEARCHERS TO SUPPORT THIS BILL
WE HAVE BASED OUR BILL ON
STANDARD INDUSTRY TERMINOLOGY
AND COMMON INDUSTRY BEST
PRACTICES AND EXPECTING GOOD.
THAT GOOD FAITH ACTORS WILL BE
ABLE TO COMPLY WE HAVE ALLOWED
THESE MARKETS TO DEVELOP WITH NO
GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT FOR MORE
THAN THREE DECADES NOW AND

FUELS LIKE DIESEL AND OTHER
APPLICATIONS. OF HARDIK THE
FOSSILIZED A COMPONENT OF OUR OF
OUR ECONOMY. AND THE REASON WHY
WE'RE VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF

IS BECAUSE- JUNK OFFSETS REALLY-
HURT THE OVERALL CLIMATE MARKET.
FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF IF FOLKS
ARE INVESTING IN THESE JUNK
OFFSETS. AS A AS A WAY THAT. YOU
KNOW IS THEY'VE BEEN TOLD AS A
WAY TO DEFAULT CELEBRITY CARBON
ISN'T THEMSELVES INTERACTIVITY
IS A CANONICALLY- IT IT
ALTERNATELY JUST UNDERCUTS THE
ABILITY FOR ADDITIONAL
INVESTMENTS AND CAPITAL TO FLOW
TOWARDS ACTUAL PROJECTS THAT
WILL REDUCE EMISSIONS- AND
THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE FOCUSED
ON. WE AGREE THAT THERE IS A
ROLE FOR OFFSETS THE PLAY- AS A
MEASURE OF LAST RESORT- BUT AS
WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW- THERE'S A
BIG RUSH IN IN THE GLOBAL
MARKET- TO REALLY PUSH THESE
JUNK OFFSETS- WITHOUT. A WITH A
LACK OF ENVIRONMENTAL INTEGRITY

COME TO THE TABLE SHOW THEIR
WORK PROVE THAT THEY'RE
ACTUALLY. DOING WHAT THEY'RE

THANK YOU. PLEASE BUDGET
MICROPHONE. HI MY NAME IS
NATALIE YOU CHEAT AND I AM A
PRODUCE CLERK AT SAFEWAY.
FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE AND A
MEMBER OF THE U. F. C. W. TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF SENATE
BILL FIVE FIVE THREE. I'VE
WORKED IN THE GROCERY INDUSTRY
FOR EIGHTEEN YEARS AND A
PERSONALLY BEEN VICTIMIZED BY
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE AND I'VE
HEARD NUMEROUS STORIES FROM
WORKERS. WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE. TODAY I WANT
TO SHARE WITH YOU A TRAGEDY THAT
HAPPENED IN TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
AT MY SAFE WAY IN SAN JOSE WERE
MY FELLOW COWORKER FRIEND AND
UFCW MEMBER PAID THE ULTIMATE
PRICE. AND WAS MURDERED AT WORK
DUE TO WORKPLACE VIOLENCE. THE
WEEKEND OF JUNE FOURTH MY SON
WAS PLAYING AT A LOCAL BASEBALL
TOURNAMENT AND HIS TEAM PULLED A
LATE GAME ON SATURDAY I TEXTED
MY DEPARTMENT GROUP CHAT TO LET
THEM KNOW I WOULD BE A LITTLE
LATE SUNDAY MORNING. MY NORMAL
START TIME IT'S FOUR AM. AS I
WAS GETTING READY SUNDAY MY
FRIEND FROM ANOTHER DEPARTMENT
TAX TO FIND OUT IF I WAS
WORKING. I TOLD HER I WAS GOING
TO BE LEAVING IN ABOUT TEN
MINUTES AND SHE SAID SHE HAD
JUST GOTTEN TO THE STORE IN THE
PARKING LOT WAS ROPED OFF BY THE
POLICE AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO
HOME. SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS
GOING ON. I WENT TO MY PHONE AND
CHECKED OUR DEPARTMENT GROUP
CHAT. AND THERE IS A MESSAGE
FROM MY FRIEND MIKE TO WIN THREE
THAT SAID DON'T COME IN. MANY
HAS BEEN SHOT STORES CLOSE. I
CALLED THE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT
AND MET HIM DOWN NEAR THE STORE
WE WALKED TO THE FRONT OF THE
STORE WERE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE
THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING
THAT DAY WERE STANDING. THERE
POLICE CARS EVERYWHERE IN THE
ENTIRE PARKING LOT WAS ROPED OFF
WITH POLICE TAPE. AS WE WERE
STANDING THERE ONE OF THE
OFFICERS WALKED OVER. I ASKED
HIM IF MANY HAD MADE IT AND HE
SHIFTED AND SHOOK HIS HEAD NO.
AT THAT TIME WE ALL WENT TO THE
DONUT SHOP AROUND THE CORNER IN
COMPLETE AND UTTER SHOCK. MAN IT
WAS A WONDERFUL KID. HE HAD SO
MUCH POTENTIAL AND SO MUCH LIFE
AHEAD OF THEM HE WAS A STAFF
FAVORITE AND IN THE BLINK OF AN
EYE BECAUSE OF A COWARD HE WAS
GONE. THE NEXT DAY SAFE I WANTED
US TO COME DOWN TO THE STORE FOR
GRIEF COUNSELING. THEY BROUGHT
IN ONE COUNSELOR. FOR THE ENTIRE
STORE WE HAD ABOUT A HUNDRED AND
SIXTY EMPLOYEES AT THE TIME.
WELL GROUP OF US WERE STANDING
OUT IN THE PARKING LOT. ONE OF
THE MEN FROM CORPORATE CAME AND
OFFERED HIS CONDOLENCES. A WEEK
AFTER ME AND HE WAS MURDERED. A
MAN WALKED IN THE STORE
ANNOUNCING LOUDLY THAT SOMEBODY
WAS GOING TO DIE TODAY. WHILE
BRANDISHING A KNIFE. HE WALKED
THROUGH THE STORE KNOCKING
THINGS OFF THE SHELVES AND BEGAN
FOLLOWING OUR DAILY MANAGER WHO
IS A FEMALE. LUCKILY ONE OF THE
CO WORKERS SAW THE MANUAL
DISTRACTED HIM. THE MAN HELD A
KNIFE TO HIS CHEST. BUT
EVENTUALLY WALKED AWAY. THE MAN
WALKED OUTSIDE SOME OF THE- MEN
FOLLOWED TO SEE WHERE HE WAS
WALKING SO THEY COULD TELL THE
POLICE. THE WORKERS THAT
FOLLOWED HIM OUTSIDE HAVE THEIR
JOBS THREATENED BECAUSE THEY
WENT OUTSIDE. THAT'S WORKERS ARE
NOT PREPARED ON HOW TO HANDLE
SHOPLIFTER IN ACTIVE SHOOTER
SITUATIONS IN THE GROCERY STORE.
WERE FIRST HIRED WE RECEIVE A
VAGUE FIFTEEN MINUTE LONG VIDEO
TRAINING. WE CAN ASK QUESTIONS
AND WE NEVER RECEIVED TRAINING
AGAIN IT'S NOT EFFECTIVE. AFTER
MANDY'S DEATH WE HAD AN ACTIVE
SHOOTER VIDEO THAT WE WERE
SUPPOSED TO WATCH I TOLD THE
OFFICE THAT I HAVEN'T SEEN IT
YET. AND I WAS TOLD THEIR RECORD
SHOWED THAT I HAVE. TO THIS DAY
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE VIDEO.
ALMOST A YEAR LATER I STILL FEEL
THE IMPACT OF THE INCIDENT
TODAY. I WATCHED SEVERAL OF MY
CO WORKERS THEY WERE IN THE
BUILDING THAT NIGHT. THAT MANDY
DIED STRUGGLE WITH WHAT I CAN
ONLY CALL PTSD. HOW MANY OF US
HAVE TO DIE BEFORE LAWS ARE
CHANGED TO PROTECT US. WE KEPT
EVERYONE FED THROUGH CODED. WE
DIDN'T HAVE THE OPTION TO WORK
FROM HOME WE SHOWED UP EVERY
SINGLE DAY. NOT KNOWING IF THAT
WAS DALY WE ARE GOING TO BRING
AN UNKNOWN VIRUS HOME KERR
FAMILIES. SENATE BILL FIVE BY
THREE IS NOT THE SILVER BULLET
THAT WILL SOLVE ALL OF OUR
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PROBLEMS. IT
IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
TO ADOPT PROTECTIONS FOR WORKERS
ON THE JOB. PLEASE VOTE YES ON
SENATE BILL FIVE BY THREE. TO
ENSURE THAT WORKERS ARE BETTER
PREPARED TO RESPOND TO INCIDENTS
LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN FANTASY.
THANK YOU IN AND I'M SORRY
THAT'S A- TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AND I
APPRECIATE YOU. TAKING THE
TRAJAN TRYING TO HELP OTHERS SO
YOU ARE THANK YOU ALL RIGHT- WE
WE'VE GIVEN OF THE SUPPORT
POSITION FOR MINUTES NOW SO
LET'S TURN THE OPPOSITION- THOSE
OPPOSED IF THERE'S PRIME ME
WITNESSES. IN OPPOSITION PLEASE
APPROACH THE MICROPHONE. SORRY
FOR THE WAY A ROBERT WHICH YOU
FOR THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE GOOD EVENING MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS AND AUTHOR- FORGET
OF SUBSTANCE I WANNA BE CLEAR
WHAT WE ARE NOT- HERE AND
OPPOSITION TO WE ARE CERTAINLY
NOT A DEFENSE OF WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE THAT. THAT STORY WAS A
TRAGEDY I'M GLAD THAT CALIFORNIA
IS WORKING ON THIS TOPIC TO
ADDRESS IT BOTH THROUGH THE
ALREADY EXISTING HEALTHCARE
VIOLENCE STANDARD. AND FOR THE
ONGOING WORK TOWARDS A GENERAL
INDUSTRY STANDARDS. I'M SECOND I
WANNA BE CLEAR WE'RE NOT OPPOSED
TO SECTION ONE OF THE BILL WAS
NOT MENTIONED BUT IT EASES THE-
ABILITY OF A UNION TO SEE GET T.
R. O. DEFENSE AN EMPLOYEE. NOT A
CONCERN I THINK THAT'S A GOOD
IMPROVEMENT- I WILL REFRESH AND
SOME- TOUCH ON SOME BACKGROUND.
HELLO SHOULD. ALREADY HAS HEALTH
CARE REPLACE FILES STAND IT WAS
REFERENCED IN PASSING THERE
PRESENTLY WORKING ON THE GENERAL
INDUSTRY STANDARDS. CALLOSUM
I'VE SPOKEN THEIR STAFF ON THIS
TECHNOLOGY THAT WHAT A HOSPITAL
CAN DO AND WHAT EVERY OTHER
BUSINESS IN THE STATE DOWN TO
ONE EMPLOYEE CAN DO ARE JUST
DIFFERENT. A TWO PERSON FOOD
TRUCK CANNOT DO WITH A HOSPITAL
CAN DO AND THAT'S WHY THEY'RE
WORKING A DIFFERENT STANDARD-
OUR PRIMARY CONCERN WITH THIS
BILL THERE'S- ONE OR TWO OTHERS
BUT- THE CORE CONCERN IS. THIS
BILL COPIES THE HOSPITAL
PACKABLE STANDARD. INTO STATUTE
INSTEAD OF LOOKING TO A CALLOUS
IS LOOKING AT AND WORKING ON.
FOR GENERAL INDUSTRIES. SO WE
WOULD SAY THAT THIS SHOULD COPY
THE APPROPRIATE STANDARD PER
CALLOW HAS EXPERTISE- THOUGH
AGAIN WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO THE
CORE. OBJECTIVES BUT LET'S USE
THE RIGHT STANDARD- THE SECOND
POINT LIKE THE FLAG HERE'S THIS
BILL REDEFINES WHAT WORKPLACE
BALANCES AWAY FROM WHAT CAL OSHA
HAS DONE. TO THE WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE NOW INCLUDES WORKPLACE
HARASSMENT AN ORAL COMMENTS OF
THAT SORT THAT ARE NOT THREATS.
REGISTER RASTATT WE BELIEVE THAT
IS SOMETHING THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER COVERS AND SHOULD
BE ADDRESSED THEIR THROUGH THE
EXISTING LAWS. IS NOT CALLUSES
EXPERTISE. TO HANDLE SO SHOULD
NOT BE HERE. AGAIN I WANT TO BE
CLEAR THAT THIS IS. THE IT IS
NOT A SUPPORT FOR CHRISTMAS
ANYWAY BUT MORE FOCUS ON HOW WE
DO THIS. AND FOLLOWING CALLUSES
ACTUAL LEAD WHICH IS THEIR
GENERAL INDUSTRY STANDARD
THEY'RE WORKING ON PRESENTLY. WE
ARE ENGAGED AND WORKING WITH
THEM ON- THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

INTERESTING POINT THAT THE

I'M SURE HOSPITALS WITH HUNDREDS
OF EMPLOYEES AFTER BYSTANDERS
VERSES LIKE A TWO PERSONS
BUSINESS IS THAT SOMETHING
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
IT GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS WITH
THE HAPPY TO KEEP LOOKING AT
THAT AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW
THEY'LL FULLER FEET APART TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE DO- BUT- YOU
KNOW THE GUYS YOU KNOW THE SEVEN
PRIMARY THINGS WE'RE TRYING TO
DO HERE- SHOWED THE MIDDLE
SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOLS YOU KNOW.
IN THE NINETEEN NINETIES WHEN I
WAS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER WE
DID. ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAINING IN
PROBABLY MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE

I THINK IT WAS A SON. I'M NOT
SURE THAT HE NEEDS TO DO A
WORKPLACE. VIOLENCE PLAN BUT I

HOPEFULLY ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO
THE GOVERNOR'S DESK UNTIL WE
HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S- IS NEAR-
TO PERFECTION AS WE CAN GET. FOR
NOW TO YOU KNOW TO TRY TO-
TRYING TO SAVE LIVES HERE SO- I
THINK THAT'S THE MAIN THING
AUTHORS. OF ONE OF THE SEVEN
THINGS THAT- PREVENT SOMEBODY.
FROM HAVING- FROM BEING
VICTIMIZED LIKE WE- LIKE WE
HEARD ABOUT- AND THAT'S A WIN
BUT- WE KEEP WORKING ON DETAILS
AND APPRECIATE THAT MEASURE.

PROVIDED BY SECTION TWO THIRTY
OF THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS

TRAFFICKERS ACT WERE ENACTED BY
CONGRESS AND I KNEW THAT
SOMETHING THAT. OF THIS
COMMITTEE HAS SPENT A GREAT DEAL
OF TIME ON OVER THE PAST FEW
YEARS BUT IT'S SOMETHING I
APPRECIATE. OF ANY JOINT
EFFECTIVE FREE SPEECH IS VASTLY
OUTWEIGHED BY THE IRREPARABLE
HARM BECAUSE- THE MOST WILL ROLL

VICTIMS OF TESTIFIED THAT THE
WORST PART OF THE REVITALIZATION
PROCESS IS KNOWING THAT THE
CONTENT IS UP- AND IT'S BEING
USED TO NORMALIZE ABUSE. AND
THEY CAN'T GET IT DOWN.
TRAGICALLY THIS ABUSE LEADS TO
HORRIBLE MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS

THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO TAKE
THEM DOWN WITHOUT THE
COOPERATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA. IT
CREATES LASTING PSYCHOLOGICAL
IMPACTS ON EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR
LIFE NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT THEY
DON'T THINK ABOUT THE- SHEER
VOLUME OF IMAGES OF THEM BEING
ABUSED. AND ASSAULTED AND RAPED
. THAT'S ON. THE SOCIAL MEDIA.
AND THIS MATERIAL IS AVAILABLE
ON EVERY SINGLE INTERNET
PLATFORM. GLOBAL THREE CHAPS ANY
SINGLE- APPLICATION THAT HAS A
DM OR DIRECT MESSAGING
CAPABILITY. WE SEE PEOPLE
TRADING SELLING AND FURTHER
DISSEMINATING C. SAM MATERIAL.
AND THE CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION OF
C. SAM LEADS TO A HIGHER DEMAND
C. SAM BEGETS C. SAM. AND SO WE
ARE SEEING MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
CREATING THE MATERIAL AND
DISSEMINATING THE MATERIAL
UNCHECKED. FOR THE MOST PART A
CCM IMAGE IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
THIS CHILD IS BEING RAPED OR
ABUSED IT USUALLY IS THE RESULT
OF YEARS. OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
THE GROOMING PROCESS WHERE THEY
ARE DESENSITIZED TO SEXUAL
CONTENT AND SEXUAL ABUSE AND SO
WHAT WE'RE WATCHING IS THE
CULMINATION OF A HORRIFIC. OF
SADISTIC RITUALISTIC GROOMING
AND ABUSE. AND WE'RE SEEING VERY
DISTURBING TRENDS NOW ARE SINCE
THE PANDEMIC AND WITH THE
PROLIFERATION OF ACCESS TO THE
MOST THIS MATERIAL WHAT WE'RE
SEEING ALREADY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I'M SORRY THAT TODAY I
HAVE TO BE A BIT OF BROUGHT
BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TWENTY MORE
BILLS TO GO I STILL STAND RIGHT
THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I MARGARET MAYBE I.
WORK AT MARSH LAW FIRM WE
REPRESENT VICTIMS OF C. SAM
ACROSS THE COUNTRY THERE ARE TWO
SURVIVORS IN THIS ROOM WHO FOR
SAFETY REASONS WERE UNABLE TO
TESTIFY. BUT THEY ARE VICTIMS OF
THE SALMON THERE HERE IN
SUPPORT. SECTION TWO THIRTY WAS
ORIGINALLY PASSED AS A CHILD
PROTECTION STATUTE IN NINETEEN
NINETY SIX BUT BY NINETEEN
NINETY SEVEN THE ACLU MADE SURE
IT WOULDN'T BE IN THAT SAME YEAR
A LITTLE COMPANY CALLED GOOGLE
REGISTERED ITS DOMAIN NAME. SO
JUST TO BE CLEAR WE'RE NOT SUING
YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S TECH COMPANY
TECH THE TECH INDUSTRY IS NOT A
FRAGILE INDUSTRY IT IS A
CONGLOMERATE OF POWER AND
IMPUNITY MASHA'S LAW NAMED AFTER
OUR FIRM'S CLIENT WAS AMENDED IN
TWO THOUSAND FIVE IN HONOR OF A
VICTIM OF CCM. WHAT MOST DON'T
UNDERSTAND IS THAT LIKE MASHA
MANY OF OUR CLIENTS REVIEWS IN
THE NINETIES OR EARLY TWO
THOUSANDS LONG BEFORE THE
INTERNET WE KNOW TODAY EVER
EXISTED THE MATERIAL STILL GETS
TRAFFICKED AND LIKE BASEBALL
CARDS FOR PETA FILES IS
COLLECTED BY KIND OF BY CREEPS
AROUND THE GLOBE. THERE ARE
SURVIVORS IN THIS ROOM WHO'S
IMAGES AND VIDEOS HAVE BEEN
CIRCULATING ONLINE FOR DECADES.
AND TECH COMPANIES COULD CARE
LESS WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE OVER
TEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FOUR IMAGES OR C. SAM
FILES ARE DETECTED EVERY TWELVE
HOURS. TAKE THE DOBIE TWITTER
CASE WHICH WAS HEARD BY THE
NINTH CIRCUIT LAST WEEK. TWITTER
REFUSE JUST SURVIVORS REQUEST TO
REMOVE THEIR IMAGE IN NINE DAYS
BEFORE LAW ENFORCEMENT WAS ABLE
TO FORCE TWITTER TO ACT. OVER A
HUNDRED AND SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND
VIEWS AND TWO THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED TWENTY THREE RETWEETS OF
THIS MATERIAL OCCURRED. THESE
VICTIMS ARE SUING UNDER MARTIAL
LAW BUT THESE REMEDIES ARE NOT
ENOUGH. THESE REMEDIES ARE NOT
GOING TO STOP AND REMOVE THIS
MATERIAL. COMPANIES HAVE
THREATENED TO PULL OUT OF THE UK
MARKET IN RESPONSE TO THE ONLINE
CHILD SAFETY BELT. SO THAT'S WHY
I'M HERE TODAY WE NEED THE
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO STAND UP FOR KIDS
AROUND THE GLOBE. BECAUSE
SILICON VALLEY IS THE ONE PLACE
WE KNOW THE TECH COMPANIES WON'T
THREATEN TO LEAVE. WE NEED
CALIFORNIA TO KEEP KIDS SAFE
BECAUSE WE KNOW BIG TECH REFUSES
TO DO SO FOR THESE REASONS WE
ASK YOUR SUPPORT ON SB SIX FOUR
SIX THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL
RIGHT- OPPOSITION. MISTER
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS STILL OFTEN ON
BEHALF OF TECH THAT AND WE ARE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED TO SB SIX
FORTY SIX. FIRST WE
UNEQUIVOCALLY SUPPORT THE
AUTHORS EFFORTS TO ERADICATE
ONLINE SEX TRAFFICKING. THE
DISTRIBUTION OF C. SAM AND SEE
I. WE AGREE WITH THE SENATOR
THIS MATERIAL IS NOT PROTECTED
BY THE FIRST AMENDMENT OUR
COMPANIES TAKE AGGRESSIVE ACTION
TO NOT ONLY IDENTIFY BUT REMOVE-
THIS CONTENT. WE ALSO- HAVE
INNOVATIVE NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO
AID IN THAT. EFFORT WE DONATED
THAT TO CIVIL SOCIETY PARTNERS
TO HELP EXPAND THE REACH. OF
THOSE SYSTEMS AND WE'VE-
ACTIVELY PART PARTNERED WITH AND
COOPERATE WITH NONPROFITS LIKE
NICK NICK. AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
THE WORLD TO TRY TO ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM. WE TAKE THIS VERY
SERIOUSLY AND WE HAVE WORKED FOR
DECADES TO BE A PART OF THE
SOLUTION. HOWEVER WE DO BELIEVE
THAT SB SIX FOUR SIX HAS SEVERAL
FLAWS- THAT WILL IMPEDE THIS
WORK AND THAT RUN AFOUL OF
CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES. FIRST
WE BELIEVE THE TWO DAY WINDOW TO
REMOVE OR DESTROY ACTUAL
MATERIAL THOUGH INTENDED TO-
INSPIRED QUICK ACTION WELL
ACTUALLY HAVE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES- CURRENTLY. BY
REQUIRING US TO ACT WITHIN TWO
DAYS- OR FACE SIGNIFICANT
PENALTIES THERE IS A STRONG
STRONG INCENTIVE TO REMOVE FIRST
AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER WHICH I
THINK WILL RESULT IN AN OVER
REMOVAL OF LAWFUL CONTENT. THE
OTHER POINT I WANT TO ADDRESS IS
. BROUGHT UP BY THE PROPONENTS
THIS BILL IS STILL PREEMPTED BY
SECTION TWO THIRTY. DESPITE THE
NARROW EXEMPTION CREATED BY-
SESTA FOSTA- THIS BILL FAR
EXCEEDS THE INTENSE STANDARDS
UNDER THAT BILL THAT THAT BILL-
AND THOSE EXCEPTIONS REQUIRING
KNOWING STANDARD- AND FOR
PLATFORMS TO KNOWINGLY BENEFIT
HAVE ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE
TRAFFICKING. AND MUST ASSIST
SUPPORT OR FACILITATE THE
TRAFFICKING NONE OF WHICH ARE IN
THIS BILL- SO THEREFORE IT
EXCEEDS THE SCOPE OF- THAT'S
ABOUT LIMITED EXCEPTION UNDER
SECTION TWO THIRTY. AND
THEREFORE THIS BILL STILL-
PREEMPTED. FINALLY I DO WANNA
SAY WE'VE DISCUSSED OUR CONCERNS
WITH THE AUTHOR WE'VE ALSO
COMMIT THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE THERE
WE'VE ALSO COMMITTED TO WORK ON
LANGUAGE THAT. INCREASES OUR
USER SAFETY THAT TRY TO ACHIEVE
THE GOALS OF THIS BILL THANK YOU

MISTER CHAIR OKAY STREAMBED
COMMITTEE QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE
MEMBERS- SING NO QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS OF CIRCLE DAYS YOU
WORKED ON THIS FOR QUITE SOME
TIME THANK YOU VERY MUCH- THE I
DO HAVE A QUESTION EITHER FOR
YOU OR PERHAPS WHEN THE
OPPONENTS FORTY EIGHT I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER FORTY EIGHT HOURS
IS ENOUGH TIME- WE'VE ASKED YOU
KNOW WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE
TIMES IT'S SEVENTY TWO HOURS IS
IT. A MONTH OF THE MONTH THAT
SOUNDS TOO LONG I DON'T KNOW AND
PERHAPS I COULD ASK OF THE
OPPONENTS IF YOU DON'T MIND IF
THERE IS A TIME THAT DOES WORK
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT
DOWN THAT'S NOT PARTICULARLY
LONG. THANKS FOR THE QUESTION
MISTER CHAIR- I'VE- FORTY EIGHT
HOURS IS TOO SHORT I THINK WHAT
OUR PLATFORMS TRYING TO DO IS
NOT ONLY VERIFY THE INFORMATION
THAT. HAS BEEN REPORTED TO US
BUT- LOCATE IDENTIFY AND REMOVE
THAT CONTENT. NOT ONLY TO DO
THAT BUT TO IDENTIFY WHETHER
OTHER KIND NO I UNDERSTAND THE
POSITIONS TO AND WE DON'T NEED
TO BELABOR IT RIGHT NOW BUT
WE'VE ASKED WHAT WHAT IS THE
APPROPRIATE TIME I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE APPROPRIATE TIME IS SO
I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF
THERE IS AN APPROPRIATE TIME
THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THAT
PRESSURE FOR PLATFORMS TO REMOVE
A LET ME JUST IS THAT THE BILL'S
GOING TO MOVE OUT OF COMMITTEE I
THINK- I'M GONNA SUPPORT THE
BILL. AND IF YOU COME UP WITH AN
APPROPRIATE TIME THAT I WOULD
HAVE SENATOR CORTESE TO CONSIDER
IT I UNDERSTAND YOUR POSITION
FORTY HOURS IS NOT ENOUGH I
DON'T KNOW. BUT BUT LET'S
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT AND
ALSO NO SENATOR CORTESE I KNOW
THAT THAT YOU WANT TO- GET IT
THE IMAGES THAT HAVE BEEN
DESCRIBED HERE. YOU'RE NOT
FOCUSED ON THE YOU KNOW
PROVERBIAL BABY ON THE BARE SKIN
RUG THAT SOMEBODY ONE PARENT
SENDING TO ANOTHER I KNOW THAT.
WE NEED TO DO SOME MORE WORK I
THINK ON SOME OF THE DEFINITIONS
SO THAT THAT WE DON'T CATCH THE
BABY ON THE BARE SKIN RUG BUT WE
DO CATCH ALL THE OTHER. VILE
IMAGES THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED-
AND I ASSUME YOU'RE YOU'RE-
PERFECTLY PREPARED TO WORK ON IT
JUST AS YOU HAVE FOR THE LAST.
COUPLE YEARS YES I AM. OKAY AND-
YOU KNOW THE INTERESTING THING
ABOUT THIS IS. THE CALIFORNIA
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS YOU'VE HAD
NOT ONLY THE RIGHT- BUT- THE
FUNCTIONALITY ON THE LINE TO GET
YOUR CREDIT REPORT CORRECTED- IS
QUICKLY AS WE'RE ASKING FOR IN
THIS BILL. AND THE STANDARD IS
YOU TAKE THE MATERIAL DOWN IF
IT'S INAPPROPRIATE. IF IT'S
CHALLENGE AS INAPPROPRIATE. AND
THEN YOU PUT IT BACK UP AGAIN-
IF YOU IF YOU CAN VERIFY THAT
IT. THAT IT ISN'T- YOU CAN
DELETE SOMETHING OUT OF YOUR
AMAZON. SHOPPING CART. YOU KNOW
WITH THE- PRESS PRESSING OF A
BUTTON. IN THE SPLIT SECOND LESS
THAN A SECOND. BUT THOSE SAME
PLATFORMS. THE SAME TECHNOLOGY
IS TRYING TO TELL US THAT FORTY
DOLLARS IS TOO MUCH. NEVER THE
LESS YOU SAW THAT WE CAN GET AN
ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION U. S. A
VERY. DIRECT QUESTION AS I'VE
BEEN AS YOU KNOW. OVER AGAIN. WE
WERE TO SEE AN- YOU KNOW HOW.
TIME DO YOU NEED- HOW THIS IS AN
ONGOING HARM IS UNITE NOISE
ATTORNEYS IT'S ONGOING ARM THAT
WERE NEARLY. A QUARTER WALL
WOULD WOULD PROBABLY ISSUE IN AN
INSTANT RESTRAINING ORDER. WE'RE
GOOD WE'RE JUST ASKING. JUST
TAKE IT DOWN FOR YOUR VEST
GETTING. OF THE INVESTIGATION
TURNS UP THAT THIS WAS
COMPLETELY APPROPRIATE- CONTENT
. PUT IT BACK UP AGAIN. BUT TO
SAY THAT WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW IT
TO ME IT'S SHAMEFUL AND I COME
FROM SILICON VALLEY. TO SAY THAT
TO SAY THAT THE COME INTO THIS
COMMITTEE ROOM. AND SAY THAT
IT'S OKAY TO ALLOW THE ONGOING
HARM. TO CONTINUE- BECAUSE YOU
CAN'T GET IT DOWN FAST ENOUGH-
COULD YOU CAN'T GIVE AN ANSWER
WITHIN FORTY EIGHT HOURS IS
ENOUGH- IN. THE END. YOU KNOW
BECAUSE YOU'RE WILLING TO ALLOW
THE ONGOING HARM WHAT IS DEFINED
HERE IS NOT JUST. RUN OF THE
MILL- ANYTHING IT'S CECIL. ITS
EXPLOITATION OF MINORS- IN
OBSCENITY IS ABSOLUTELY NOT
PROTECTED BY TWO THIRTY OR THE
FIRST AMENDMENT WE KNOW THAT SO.
HONESTLY WE WANT TO WORK. WITH
THE PROMINENT INDUSTRY IN MY OWN
DISTRICT WE JUST NEED REAL
ANSWERS IN. BY ALL MEANS IF
THERE'S ANY REASONABLE APPROACH
TO THIS- THAT WITH THAT WE CAN
JUSTIFY THIS THIRTY SIX HOURS IF
IT'S- TWENTY SEVEN HOURS-
DEMONSTRATE TO US WHY THAT'S THE
CASE. I THINK WERE. YOU KNOW-
TECHNOL LITERATE ENOUGH IN MY
OFFICE TO UNDERSTAND IF THERE'S
SOME BONA FIDE REASONS WHY WE
NEED TO MAKE A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT
THE TWO DAYS BUT WE DON'T NEED
THOSE IMAGES OUT THERE. ELEVEN
YEARS AGO AUDREY PADA FIFTEEN
YEAR OLD. HUNDREDS OF HANGED
HERSELF IN MY DISTRICT. I'VE
TALKED TO HER MOTHER OF TALK TO
HER FAMILY. SHE COULDN'T THEY
COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET
THE ONLY PLATFORM TO TAKE DOWN.
THE NEW PICTURES OF HER THAT
WERE POSTED AFTER THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT. OF BY A COUPLE OF MALES
WHO WERE CONVICTED THEY COULDN'T
GET THAT DOWN ALL SHE WANTED WAS
TAKE IT DOWN TAKE IT DOWN. UGH
SHE COULDN'T GET IT DONE WE'RE
LOSING KIDS LIKE THIS. I THINK I
DON'T KNOW THE STATISTICS WILL
GIVE HIM FOR THE REST OF THE
COMMITTEES. WILL GET THOSE
STATISTICS BUT IT SHAMEFUL TO
LET PEOPLE GET INTO THIS
POSITION OF SUICIDAL IDEATION
BECAUSE WE'RE- UNWILLING TO ACT.
AND I JUST WANNA THINK THIS
COMMITTEE SO MUCH WORK THE
HEARINGS INFORMATIONAL HEARINGS
A COUPLE YEARS AGO TO GET THIS
TO THIRTY PROBLEM I JUST THINK
CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO LEAD ON
THAT. YOU KNOW I DON'T SEE
LITIGATION BUT I THINK WE'RE A
REALLY SOLID GROUND HERE IN A
AGAIN REALLY APPRECIATE THIS
COMMITTEE'S HELP ON THIS. ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU SENATOR CORTESE
SAID RASPY. YEAH I JUST. FEEL
LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE SAID I WANT
TO BE AS REASONABLE AS POSSIBLE
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE LIST
ON THE OPPONENT LIST THAT I.
THINK HAVE A HIGH REGARD FOR AND
WOULD WANT YOU TO WORK WITH BUT-
I JUST WOULD LIKE TO ASK THIS
QUESTION IF IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER
HOW LONG WOULD BE OKAY WITH YOU
- ABOUT. ONE SECOND WOULD BE MY
GUESS FOR EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM
SO. I WANT I WANT US TO BE
REASONABLE AND I WANT TO
ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE REASONABLE
BUT- WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT-
YOU KNOW. PICTURES OR IMAGES
THAT MIGHT HAVE OFFENDED
SOMEBODY WERE TALKING ABOUT.
MOSTLY WOMEN WHO ARE OUT THERE-
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED GREGIS
LEE. AND THAT HAS LANDED ON THE
INTERNET AND NOW THEY HAVE TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIVE
WITH THAT. AND WE NEED TO DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN. TO PROTECT
THEM AND I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S
TOO MUCH TO TAKE IT DOWN. FIGURE
OUT IF IT WAS OKAY THEN PUT IT
BACK UP. SO BUT IF THE INDUSTRY
HAS SOME GUIDELINES FOR YOU OR
THEY CAN BE HELPFUL THAT'S GREAT
BUT- I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOSE
SIGHT OF WHAT WE'RE REALLY
TRYING TO DO HERE. RIGHT THANK

I'D LIKE TO START BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AS
DESCRIBED IN PAGES NINE AND
THIRTEEN OF THE ANALYSIS I WANT
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE. AND YOU
FOR- PROVIDING- OF THESE
AMENDMENTS I AM I HERE TODAY TO
PRESENT SB FIVE FIVE SIX THE OIL
AND GAS POLLUTION ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT WHICH WILL. WHICH CREATES A
LIABILITY PRESUMPTION TO HOLD
THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE HARM THEY
HAVE CAUSED CALIFORNIANS THAT
RESIDE WITHIN THREE THOUSAND TWO
HUNDRED FEET OF THEIR WELL HEADS
AND PRODUCTION FACILITIES. IN
CALIFORNIA AS WE KNOW THERE ARE
MORE THAN TWENTY THOUSAND
OPERATIONAL OIL AND GAS WELLS
LOCATED WITHIN THREE THOUSAND
TWO HUNDRED FEET OF THE HOME
HOSPITAL SCHOOL OR OTHER
SENSITIVE RECEPTORS. NUMEROUS
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT
PROXIMITY TO THESE OIL AND GAS
WELLS BRINGS DISASTERS HEALTH
IMPLICATIONS INCLUDING.
INCREASED RISK OF ASTHMA AND
OTHER RESPIRATORY ILLNESSES
PRETERM BIRTHS HIGH RISK
PREGNANCIES AND CANCER. THIS IS
CERTAINLY A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
AND A LONGSTANDING GLARING
EXAMPLES. OF ENVIRONMENTAL
RACISM OF THE APPROXIMATELY
SEVEN POINT FOUR MILLION
CALIFORNIANS WHO LIVE WITHIN A
MILE OF ONE OR MORE OIL AND GAS
WELLS ONE THIRD LIVE IN AREAS
THAT ARE MOST BURDENED BY.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION IN 92%
OF CALIFORNIANS LIVING IN THESE
OVER BURDEN NEIGHBORHOODS ARE
PEOPLE OF COLOR. SB FIVE FIVE
SIX PROVIDES THAT AFTER JANUARY
FIRST OF TWENTY TWENTY FOUR AN
OWNER OR OPERATOR OF THESE WELLS
AND FACILITIES WILL BE JOINTLY
AND SEVERAL BE SEVERLY. LIABLE
FOR A RESPIRATORY AILMENT
DIAGNOSED AFTER JANUARY FIRST
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR IN A SENIOR
OR CHILD A PRETERM BIRTH FOR
HIGH RISK PREGNANCY SUFFERED BY
A PREGNANT PERSON. AND A
PERSON'S CANCER DIAGNOSES. THE
PRESUMPTION WILL ONLY APPLY IF
THE FACILITY OR WELL IS LOCATED
IN THE SAME HEALTH PROTECTIONS
ON WHERE THESE VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS RESIDE FOR MORE THAN
TWENTY FOUR. CUMULATIVE MONTHS
AND IF THE OIL AND GAS FACILITY
OR WELL LOCATED IN CITIES OWN
HAS FAILED TO OPERATIONALIZE.
THE BEST AVAILABLE CONTROL AND
REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGY TO
PREVENT TO PROTECT ITS MOST
VULNERABLE. A NEIGHBOR'S IF OIL
AND GAS COMPANIES DECIDE TO
DRILL AND EXTRACT OIL NEAR OUR
CHILDREN AND SENIORS IT IS ONLY
FAIR. AND IMPERATIVE THAT THE
INDUSTRY IMPLEMENT THE BEST
AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY TO PREVENT
FUTURE HARM. TO CALIFORNIA'S
MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT TODAY VERY

SUPPORT. GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS
DAN RESI REPRESENTING THE CENTER
ON RACE POVERTY AND THE
ENVIRONMENT. C. APPEARS
COMMITTED TO ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE AND UPLIFTING
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES IN
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY. SB FIVE FIVE
SIX IS A CRUCIAL BILL FOR
HOLDING OIL COMPANIES
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEVASTATING
HARMS THAT THEY ARE CAUSING AND
COMMUNITIES. THAT'S YOUR P. WE
WORK CLOSELY WITH COMMUNITIES TO
ADVOCATE FOR THEIR NEEDS AND
PUBLIC HEALTH WE'VE SEEN OUR
COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO LIVE NEAR
OIL AND GAS WELLS DEVELOP ASTHMA
CANCER ADVERSE PREGNANCY
OUTCOMES AND MORE. INCREDIBLE
BODY OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
SHOWS THAT LIVING NEAR OIL AND
GAS EXTRACTION CAUSES THESE
HARM. IT IS PAST TIME FOR THESE
OWNERS AND OPERATORS TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE NOTHING CAN EVER
MAKE THOSE WHO SUFFERED A
MISCARRIAGE OR CANCER HOLD
AGAIN. HOWEVER SB FIVE FIVE SIX
ALLOWS HARM TO PEOPLE TO OBTAIN
JUSTICE BY CREATING A
PRESUMPTION OF LIABILITY IN
FAVOR OF PEOPLE WHO SUFFER
CERTAIN RELATED HEALTH HARMS AND
RESIDE WITHIN THIRTY TWO HUNDRED
FEET OF ABOUT. YEAH OIL
COMPANIES MAY OVERCOME THE
PRESUMPTION BY EMPLOYING THE
BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGIES TO
MINIMISE POTENTIAL HARM THIS
AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE IS KEY
BECAUSE INCENTIVIZE THE OIL
COMPANIES TO DO AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITIES AND STOP ARMS BEFORE
THEY HAPPEN. LAST SUMMER THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED IN THE
GOVERNOR SIGNED SB ELEVEN THIRTY
SEVEN GONZALEZ WHICH CREATED A
BUFFER ZONE OF THIRTY TWO
HUNDRED FEET AROUND HOMES
HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS. WERE NEW
PERMITS TO DRILL WOULD BE
PROHIBITED. OUR COMMUNITY SPOT
FOR OVER A DECADE TO SECURE THAT
VICTORY. AND WE THINK WE THANK
THOSE OF YOU WHO VOTED FOR IT.
SB ELEVEN THIRTY SEVEN WAS THE
LAW OF THE LAND AND WOULD BE
STILL BUT FOR CYNICAL REFERENDUM
EFFORT BY BIG OIL PAUSED IT. FOR
TWO YEARS. PENDING THE PEOPLE OF
INDICATING. THIS IMPORT
PROTECTION IN NOVEMBER TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. BUT OUR COMMUNITY
MEMBERS ARE SUFFERING NOW THEY
HAVE CANCER NOW THE LOSING
PREGNANCIES NOW. WHAT IS THE
RECOURSE. OUR COMMUNITIES
DESERVE TO LIVE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT THAT DOES NOT GIVE
THEM CANCER PREGNANCY
COMPLICATIONS OF RESPIRATORY
ISSUES. OUR COMMUNITIES ARE NOT
SACRIFICING. FOR THESE REASONS
WE URGE THE COMMITTEE TO VOTE
YES ON SB FIVE FIVE SIX THANK.
THANK YOU ALL RIGHT THOSE IN
OPPOSITION. YOU KNOW. MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS PAUL DEAR
REPRESENTING THE WESTERN STATES
PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION. I'D LIKE
TO THANK STAFF OF THE COMMITTEE
WITH WITH THE- WELL SOME
ANALYSIS. THE BILL WOULD
ESTABLISH AN UNPRECEDENTED
PRESUMPTIVE LIABILITY AND OIL
OPERATORS IN THE STATE WITHOUT
REQUIRING ANY PROOF THAT A WELL
CAUSED ANY HARM. THE BILL WOULD
MAKE THE LEGISLATURE BE THE
FINDER OF FACT WHEN IT COMES TO
CRITICAL ISSUES. OF CAUSATION
AND CERTAIN DAMAGES. GUILT IS
NOT DECIDED BY THE COURTS TO THE
PREPONDERANCE OF THAT EVENT
EVIDENCE. IT IS DECIDED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE COMMITTEE
TODAY. THERE IS NO SAFE HARBOR
IN THIS BILL IT PROVIDES TWO
METHODS OF OVERCOMING ITS
PRESUMPTION. OPERATORS USING
BEST AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY AS WAS
MENTIONED BEFORE. THAT
ELIMINATES REDUCES PREVENTS AIR
POLLUTION SOIL AND WATER
CONTAMINATION. AND WASTE TO THE
MAXIMUM DEGREE OF PROTECTION
POSSIBLE. THIS DEFINITION IS
VAGUE AND BROAD WE- WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. THE
TECHNOLOGY MUST BE OPERATED
WITHOUT INTERRUPTION AT A
CAPACITY FOR TWO TWO YEAR
PERIOD. WHAT IS WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION MEAN WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS EITHER IT'S AN
IMPOSSIBLE STANDARD TO MEET. THE
SECOND OPTION IS THE OPERATOR
MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT ILLINOIS
FACILITY WAS NOT IN WHOLE OR IN
PART BECAUSE OF THE ILLNESS THIS
BURDEN ON THE DEFENDANT IS
IMPOSSIBLE SB FIVE FIVE SIX
WOULD CREATE A LEGAL
CATASTROPHE. AS OIL OPERATORS
WOULD BE SOLELY LIABLE FOR
HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT COULD BE
CAUSED BY MULTIPLE FACTORS
INCLUDING WELLS LOCATED NEAR
FREEWAYS AND OTHER INDUSTRIAL
SECTORS. GIVEN THE EVIDENTIARY
BURDEN. ESTABLISHED BY THIS BILL
IN THE EXTREME LIABILITY CREATED
FOR OIL COMPANIES SB. FIVE FIVE
SIX WOULD ULTIMATELY LED. ALMOST
OIL PRODUCTION IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA- WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT
THIS BILL WOULD IMPACT THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AS IT OWNS OIL
WELLS IN THE IN THE THAILAND'S.
OFF IN LONG BEACH YEAH ALREADY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU WE
POSSIBLE THANK. ALL RIGHT OTHERS
IN OPPOSITION. GOOD EVENING
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS JAMIE HOP
ON BEHALF OF THE CIVIL JUSTICE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA. I
MUST RISE TO RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE
THE BILL WELL WE UNDERSTAND AND
APPRECIATE THE SENATOR IN HER
EARNEST DESIRE TO PROTECT THE
PUBLIC FROM CANCER RESPIRATORY
DISEASES AND PRENATAL RISKS. THE
BILL CREATES ON REASONABLE
PRESIDENT ABOUT THESE OPERATOR
OWNERS OF OIL FACILITIES ARE
PRESUMED LIABLE FOR DISEASES
WITHOUT THE PLANE OF ACTUALLY
HAVING TO INITIALLY SHOW
CAUSATION. MAKING THIS
PRESUMPTION IN LAW ESSENTIALLY
FLIPS THE BURDEN OF PROOF IN OUR
COURTS MAKING AN ACCUSED
DEFENDANT RESPONSIBLE FOR
PROVING A NEGATIVE. AND
RELIEVING THE ACCUSING CARDI OF
THE DUTY TO SHOW CAUSATION
BETWEEN THE INJURY ON THESE WELL
HEADS. APPLICATION OF JOINT AND
SEVERAL LIABILITY UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE
BILL WOULD MEAN A DEFENDANT
WOULD BEAR THE BURDEN OF MAPPING
OUT THE PLAINTIFFS ENTIRE LIFE.
TO SHOW ALL POTENTIAL EXPOSURE
THE COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO
THE DIAGNOSIS THIS WOULD LEAD TO
VERY INTRUSIVE LENGTHY AND
COSTLY DISCOVERY BUT
FUNCTIONALLY MAKES EVERY LAWSUIT
IF THIS TYPE REGARDLESS OF
FAULT. A LOSING PROPOSITION FOR
THE DEFENDANT. LASTLY THE
PENALTIES OF THIS BILL ARE
EXCESSIVE OF TWO MILLION DOLLARS
PER PERSON AND THE ABILITY OF A
COURT TO DOUBLE OR TRIPLE. THE
PENALTIES WOULD BE CRIPPLING TO
THESE BUSINESSES THAT PLAY A
VERY VALUABLE ROLE IN OUR
STATE'S ECONOMY SO FOR THE
FOREGOING REASONS. WE MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THANK YOU.

RECYCLING TEXTILES IN CALIFORNIA
UNDER THE REGULATORY AUSPICES OF
CAL RECYCLE. TEXTILES AS YOU MAY
BE AWARE ARE CURRENTLY THE
FASTEST GROWING COMPONENT OF
CALIFORNIA'S WAY STREAM
ACCOUNTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 325%
OF TOTAL WASTE IN CALIFORNIA AND
ALTHOUGH FULLY 95% OF MATERIALS
COMMONLY FOUND IN APPAREL AND
TEXTILES. ARE ACTUALLY HIGHLY
RECYCLE ONLY ABOUT 15% OF THESE
MATERIALS ARE CURRENTLY BEING
EFFECTIVELY RECYCLE CALIFORNIA
WHICH HAS A LONG HISTORY AS A
LEADER IN RECYCLING MODELS AND
TECHNOLOGY HAS IMPLEMENTED A
NUMBER OF GROUNDBREAKING AND
EFFECTIVE EPR PROGRAMS WHOSE
DESIGN ALLOWS FOR THE SYSTEMATIC
REDUCTION OF WASTE ENVIRONMENT
HARSH BY SIGNING A SHARED
RESPONSIBILITY FOR END OF LIFE
PRODUCT MANAGEMENT. TO THE
PRODUCERS AND OTHER ENTITIES
PARTICIPATING ACROSS A PRODUCT'S
VALUE CHANGE OVER THE YEARS IS
CALIFORNIA HAS EXTENDED THE EAP
YOUR MODEL TO VARIOUS RECYCLING
SECTORS AND CAL RECYCLES GAIN
DEEPER EXPERIENCE IN OVERSEEING
THEM THE STRUCTURE AND
GOVERNANCE OF THE PURE MODELS
HAS IMPROVED SIGNIFICANTLY. THE
ENFORCEMENT IN PENALTY
PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN SB SEVEN
SEVEN OR A SENSE OF THE SAME AS
PROVISIONS IN RECENTLY
IMPLEMENTED EPR PROGRAMS
COVERING BATTERIES DRUGS AND
MEDICAL SHARPS WITH COMPLAINTS
BEING OVERSEEN BY CAL RECYCLE
AND PENALTIES ASSESSED IN THE
CASE OF INTENTIONAL KNOWING OR
RECKLESS VIOLATIONS. SB SEVEN A
SEVEN LIKE OTHER EPR PROGRAMS
CONTAINS A PROVISION FOR A
LIMITED ANTI TRUST IMMUNITY
STANDARD. WHICH ALLOWS PRODUCERS
TO COMPLIANT COORDINATE AS A
COLLECTIVE UNIT. AND IN SO DOING
TO TRAIN INFORMATION AT MARKET
SHARE OTHER DETAILS OF THEIR
OPERATIONS FOR THE PURPOSES. OF

PROGRAM WE HAVE TO FIRST HAVE A
DEFINITION SCOPE. OF THE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE GONNA BE
CONTAINED- WITH THAT- AS YOU MAY
KNOW OR YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE
DEFINITIONS OF TEXTILE TEXTILE
ARTICLES AND PERILS ARE UTILIZED
THIS BILL CAME FROM AB EIGHTEEN
SEVENTEEN WHICH IS A BILL THAT
SEEM TO BE A LARGELY. HELPED
CRAFT LAST YEAR WITH
ASSEMBLYMEMBER PHIL TING. TO
ADDRESS P. FOX NINETY PR. SO IF
WE TALK ABOUT THE PRODUCTS AND
SCOPE OF THIS BILL WHAT WE
REALLY NEED IN ORDER FOR IT AS I
SAID TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL
PROGRAM WE NEED TO IDENTIFY WHAT
THOSE ARE. FROM OUR MEMBERSHIP
IT'S BEEN CLEAR THAT WHEN WE
START TALKING ABOUT TEXTILES
BROADLY THINK NYLON AND
POLYESTER. THOSE ELEMENTS NOT
ONLY ARE IN CLOSE BUT THEY'RE
ACROSS THE SECTOR FOR TIRES
ROBBERS- YEAH. IN ANY INDUSTRIAL
MATERIAL FROM FROM FILTRATION
WATER FILTERS TO EVERYTHING THAT
YOU WANT. AND FROM THE
UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'VE HAD
WITH THE SENATOR AND SPONSORS
THE BILL SPECIFICALLY. INTENDED
TO BE FOCUSED ON CLOTHING
APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES THERE SO
IF WE WORK TO DEFINE WITH THE
APPROPRIATE SCOPE OF THE BILL I
THINK WE CAN HAVE A BETTER TIME
TO WORK ON THE MECHANICS OF
WHAT'S REQUIRED. WITH THAT WE DO
HAVE SOME CONCERNS ASSOCIATED TO
OUR AUTHORIZED COLLECTORS
AUTHORIZES ORDERS AUTHORIZED
REPAIR BUSINESSES- GONNA GONNA
FIT INTO THIS MOLD WHAT WHAT ARE
THE POTENTIAL EXPOSURE TO
LIABILITY. FOR MANUFACTURERS FOR
EXAMPLE- WITH THAT AS WELL WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR
LIABILITY. SB SEVEN OH SEVEN
AUTHORIZES A REMANUFACTURING
REPAIR ALTERATION OR
IMPROVEMENT. THE PRODUCTS THAT
WE ORIGINALLY PRODUCED WITH THAT
THE CONCERN AS WELL. ARE THESE
IMPROVEMENTS ACTUALLY
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SENSE OF
LIKE THE FABRIC OF THE MATERIAL
OR IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE
DESIGN OF HOW THAT PRODUCT
OPERATES. IF THAT THE PREFERRED
TO STRUCTURAL DESIGN INTEGRITY
SIGN. THAT'S NO LONGER AN
ORIGINAL MANUFACTURED PRODUCT
THAT WE PUT ON THE SHELF AND WE
PUT OUT TO COMMERCE. THERE'S
CONCERNS ABOUT. LIABILITY
WITHOUT THERE'S CONCERNS ABOUT
WHAT HAVE AND FAILURE GOES OR IF
IT FELL. OCCURS WITHOUT AS WELL
WE HAVE SOME CONCERNS OVER SOME
OF THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS ON
CONSUMER PRODUCTS ALL RIGHTY.

BILL THAT WOULD BE GREAT I DON'T

INTERRUPTING OF DO YOU ACCEPT
AMENDMENTS AS PROPOSED. YES I
HAVE OKAY RIGHT RIGHT THANK YOU
THANK YOU. SO ONCE AGAIN THIS

WOULD STRENGTHEN PROTECTIONS FOR
CHILDREN VICTIMS AND FAMILIES
THREE FAMILY LAW PROCEEDINGS I
WANNA THINK THAT CHAIRING THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STAFF WHO
WORK SO HARD. WITH MY OFFICE TO
GET THIS TO A GOOD PLACE I WILL
BE ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS LISTED ON PAGES
THIRTEEN TO NINETEEN ON THE
ANALYSIS THAT WILL CONTINUE TO
PROHIBIT COURTS FROM ORDERING
REUNIFICATION TREATMENTS WHICH
ARE KNOWN AS CAMP THAT ARE NON
REGULATED. FOR PROFIT BUSINESSES
WHERE THEY ABRUPTLY CUT OFF THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
CHILDREN AND THEIR PRIMARY
PARENTS THESE CHILDREN ALSO ARE
CUT OFF FROM THEIR PREFERRED
FAMILY MEMBERS FRIENDS SCHOOLS
PERSONAL BELONGINGS AND THEIR
COMMUNITIES AS YOU ALL KNOW ALL.
ABOUT A TEACHER FOR SEVENTEEN
YEARS AND I KNOW THAT. A
CIRCUMSTANCE LIKE THIS CAN BE
VERY DISRUPTIVE AND VERY
DRAMATIC TO ANY CHILD. THIS BILL
ALSO ESTABLISHES MORE DETAILED
TRAINING AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
UP CHILD ABUSE FOR. AS WELL AS
JUDICIAL REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
TO MEASURE PROGRESS
EFFECTIVENESS MEMBERS THIS BILL
KNOWN AS PEAK IS LAW IS NAMED
AFTER A FIVE YEAR OLD BOY WHO
WAS KILLED BY HIS FATHER IN MY
DISTRICT BACK IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. I BELIEVE PEAKY SALON
NOT ONLY MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE
MOMENT BUT ALSO GIVES VOICE TO
NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY CHILDREN
THAT ARE CALLING OUT TO US FROM
THEIR GRAVES. THEY'RE BEGGING US
TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE THE
JUDICIAL SYSTEM FAILED THEM LIKE
SOME THIRD MEDIA SAMANTHA AND
SAMARA. ALL UNDER THIRTEEN YEARS
OLD. WHO WERE MURDERED LAST YEAR
BY THE FATHER. AND PEAKY WHOSE
NAME THIS BILL HONORS. THIS BILL
TELLS CHILDREN. WHO HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BE MURDERED BY AN
ABUSIVE PARENT THAT HELP IS ON
ITS WAY. WE NEED TO CHANGE A
SYSTEM THAT CLAIMS TO PUT THE
SAFETY OF CHILDREN FIRST BUT YET
CHILDREN ARE STILL DYING.
BIGGIE'S MOTHER IS HERE TO SHARE
HER STORY SHE FOUGHT HARD IN
FAMILY COURT TO PROTECT YOUR
CHILD FROM AN ABUSIVE EX HUSBAND
AND FATHER OF PEAKY. DESPITE HER
EFFORTS THE COURT REFUSED TO
STOP VISITATIONS LEADING TO PT'S
TRAGIC MURDER. HERE WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IS AN ADVOCATE
THE VICTIM AND PEAKY SMOTHER
FROM MY DISTRICT ARE NOT A
STATUS. AND MY SECOND WITNESS IS
A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL NAMED ZOE
WHO WENT THROUGH ONE OF THESE
REUNIFICATION CAMPS AND WILL
SHARE HER EXPERIENCE AND HOPE
THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO ANY
OTHER CHILD. ZOLI CAME FORWARD
BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BECOME AN
ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN AFTER
WHICH SHE EXPERIENCE THANK YOU

TIME. TWENTY TWO I GUESS TO INTO
OKAY ALL RIGHT THANK YOU BYE.
CLOSURES THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING
CHAIRMAN NUMBER AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I'D LIKE TO BEGIN
BY THANKING YOU AND SENATOR
RUBIO. FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK ON BEHALF OF MY SON PEAKY
. I STAND BEFORE YOU AS A
CONSTITUENT AS A VETERAN OF THE
UNITED STATES ARMY. A FORMER
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY A MOTHER AN
ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN WHO SUFFER
AT THE HANDS OF AN OF USE A
PARENT. AND WHO BECOME VICTIMS.
OF OUR FAMILY COURT SYSTEM. MY
PURPOSE TODAY IS TO SHARE MY
PERSONAL TESTIMONY. TO RECOGNIZE
THE CRITICAL ROLE THAT YOU ALL
PLAY AS CALIFORNIA LEADERS. AND
TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
YOU TO REFLECT ON HOW THE
VICIOUS MURDER OF A FIVE YEAR
OLD CHILD. CAN INFLUENCE
DECISIONS YOU MAKE. AND HOW YOU
CHOOSE TO SERVE YOUR
CONSTITUENTS. FOUR DAYS AGO. I
WOKE TO A PILLOW. THAT WAS
SOAKED WITH TEARS. EVEN IN MY
SLEEP. I KNEW. THAT WHEN I OPEN
MY EYES. IT WOULD BE THE SIXTH
ANNIVERSARY OF MY SON'S DEATH.
HE WAS FIVE YEARS TWO MONTHS AND
TWO DAYS OLD WHEN HE WAS
MURDERED. AND FOR YEARS I PRAYED
FOR A CHILD AND FINALLY AFTER
FIVE MISCARRIAGES GOD ANSWERED
MY PRAYERS. IN TWENTY SIXTEEN.
WHEN HE WAS FOUR I TOLD MY EX
HUSBAND I WANTED A DIVORCE.
WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS MY SON AND I
MOVED OUT OF THE FAMILY
RESIDENTS DUE TO FEAR THREATS
AND HARASSMENT. BEING TOLD WE
CAN DO THIS MY WAY OR I CAN GO
FOR THE JUGULAR LEFT ME WITH NO
CHOICE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE
FAMILY COURT JUDGE AWARDED
EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS TO OUR HOME TO
MY EX HUSBAND AND ORDERED ME TO
PAY THE MORTGAGE WHILE HE
RESIDED THERE. FIVE MONTHS INTO
MY DIVORCE MY EX HUSBAND FILED
FALSE ALLEGATIONS WITH CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES AND COURSE
MY SON INTO TELLING A STORY
ABOUT ABUSE. IN A WRITTEN REPORT
TO CPS THE FORENSIC INTERVIEWER
INFORM THE SOCIAL WORKER IT WAS
HER BELIEVE THAT MY SON WAS
BEING COACHED AND THERE WERE
INCONSISTENCIES WITH HIS STORY.
THE MENTAL HEALTH CONSULTANT
INTERVIEWED MY SON. AND ASKED MY
SON IF HE WAS AFRAID OF HIS
FATHER. MY SON RESPONDED I DON'T
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT. ALL
EVIDENCE SUBMITTED TO THE JUDGE
WAS IGNORED AND MY **** MY EX
HUSBAND WAS ALLOWED TO MAINTAIN
JOINT CUSTODY. OVER AND OVER I
REQUESTED RESTRAINING ORDERS AND
MY COULD REQUESTS WERE DENIED.
AT THE END OF ONE OF THE
HEARINGS THE JUDGE STATED THAT
MY EX HUSBAND. A NOW CONVICTED
MURDERER GIVE A TESTIMONY THAT
WAS MORE CREDIBLE THAN MINE. HE
DENIED MY REQUEST FOR A
RESTRAINING ORDER AND SUPERVISED
VISITS. DURING OUR SEPARATION MY
EX HUSBAND TERRORIZER SON. HE
WOULD RETURN HOME WITH BRUISES
ON HIS BODY. REFUSED TO TALK
ABOUT HIS TIME WITH HIS FATHER.
AND OBSESSED OVER THE NUMBER OF
DAYS LEFT BEFORE HE HAD TO SEE
HIS FATHER AGAIN. IN JANUARY OF
TWENTY SEVENTEEN PRIOR TO A
CUSTODY EXCHANGE. MY SON
REPEATEDLY ASKED TO STAY WITH ME
. AS I PREPARE TO SHOWER TO BEAT
HIM I ASKED MY SON TO TAKE OFF
HIS CLOTHES WHICH SHE DID. IT
TOOK EVERY OUNCE OF STRENGTH I
HAD NOT TO CRY IN FRONT OF HIM
WHEN I SAW THE FADING BRUISES ON
HIS BODY. I REACHED INTO THE
SHOWER TO CHECK THE TEMPERATURE
OF THE WATER AND WHEN I TURNED
AROUND MY SON WAS GONE. I
SEARCHED THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE
ONLY TO FIND HIM STANDING IN A
FIELD SITTING IN A FETAL
POSITION BEHIND THE BED. AND
WHEN I SAID PUBLIC CAMANCHE YOU
NEED TO TAKE A SHOWER. WE'RE
GOING TO BE LATE. MY SON REPLIED
WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES. PLEASE
DON'T MAKE ME GO MOM. IN APRIL
TWENTY SEVENTEEN WHEN I BROUGHT
EVIDENCE TO AN EVALUATOR SHE
STATED SHE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO
REVIEW WHAT I BROUGHT. AND
ACCUSE ME OF COACHING MY SON.
AGAIN THE EVIDENCE WAS IGNORED
MY REQUEST FOR SOLE CUSTODY
UNSUPERVISED VISITS WERE DENIED
. AND EIGHT DAYS LATER. WHEN I
X. HAS BEEN FAILED TO SHOW UP
FOR CHILD EXCHANGE. I CALLED THE
POLICE TO FILE A MISSING CHILD
REPORT. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED
I NEVER GAVE HOPE THAT MY SON
WOULD RETURN TO ME. IN MAY OF
TWENTY SEVENTEEN APPROXIMATELY
ONE MONTH INTO MY SON'S
DISAPPEARANCE. I RETURNED TO
COURT TO REQUEST SOLE CUSTODY
FOR ONE MIGHT BE CAME HOME. EVEN
THOUGH THE JUDGE ACKNOWLEDGED
THAT MY SON DISAPPEARED. WELL IN
HIS FATHER'S CUSTODY. HE DENIED
MY REQUEST. AND ORDERED AN
EVIDENTIARY HEARING TO BE SET TO
EXPLORE CUSTODY. IT TURNS OUT
THAT ON APRIL TWENTY FIRST EIGHT
DAYS AFTER THE CUSTODY
EVALUATION. MY EX HUSBAND
SUFFOCATED. OUR SON IN THE
BACKSEAT OF HIS VEHICLE WELL MY
SON SLEPT. AFTER SPENDING THE
DAY AT DISNEYLAND WITH THIS
FATHER. ACCORDING TO HOMICIDE
DETECTIVES. MY SON AWOKE DURING
THIS VIOLENT ACT. HIS FIRST
ATTEMPT OF SUFFOCATING MASON
FAILED AND AS MY SON SAT
HELPLESSLY IN HIS CAR SEAT. HIS
BODY TWITCHING MY EX HUSBAND
PROCEEDED TO SUFFOCATE HIM A
SECOND TIME. HE THEN DROVE FOR
TWO HOURS. AND PROCEEDED TO DUMP
MY SON'S BODY IN A HEAVILY
WOODED AREA IN SANTA BARBARA
COUNTY. AND DURING THE HOMICIDE
INVESTIGATION THE DETECTIVES
DISCOVERED THAT MY EX HUSBAND
BEGAN PLANNING MY SON'S MURDER.
SHORTLY AFTER THE DECEMBER
RESTRAINING ORDER HEARING. IT
TOOK THE JUDGE THREE MONTHS FROM
THE DATE OF MY SON'S
DISAPPEARANCE TO TERMINATE THE
CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS I WAS
PREVIOUSLY ORDERED TO PAY. IT
ALSO TOOK THE SAME AMOUNT OF
TIME FOR THE JUDGE TO
TEMPORARILY SUSPEND SPOUSAL
SUPPORT PAYMENTS I WAS REQUIRED
TO MAKE. BY THIS TIME MY SON'S
FUNERAL HAD PASSED. AND MY EX
HUSBAND WAS INCARCERATED. THE
DECISION TO AWARD. MY EX HAS
BEEN PART OF MY PENSION AND FOUR
OH THREE B. CAME AT A LATER DATE
. HE'S LARA'S CRITICAL. BECAUSE
IT ALLOWS MUCH NEEDED TRAINING
TO BE ESTABLISHED FOR JUDICIAL
OFFICERS. FOR THE RECORD
TARGETED TRAINING IS ABSOLUTELY
NECESSARY. THE JUDGES INVOLVED
I'M ALMOST DONE THE JUDGES
INVOLVED IN MY DIVORCE CASE MADE
UNINFORMED AND RECKLESS
DECISIONS THAT LED TO THE DEATH
OF MY CHILD. THE FIRST JUDGE ON
MY CASE WAS APPOINTED TO THE
BENCH INTO DISASTER THIS WEEK
YOU'VE GONE FOR SIX AND A HALF
MINUTES NOW SO- I'M SORRY WE
HAVE- AND I JUST FINISHED IT
LAST IN. THE CENTER OF GIVE YOU
A MORE SENSE THANK YOU. AT NO
TIME DID MY SON NEVER ASK HIS
FATHER TO PHYSICALLY OR
EMOTIONALLY ABUSE HIM. NOR DID
MY SON NEVER SAY DADDY PLEASE
SUFFOCATE ME AND TAKE ME AWAY
FROM MY MOMMY. CHILDREN HAVE THE
RIGHT TO LIVE WITHOUT FEAR ABUSE
AND VIOLENCE AND IT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT'S
RIGHT TO SAFEGUARD IT. I THINK
YOU IN ASPIRIN I WROTE AND WE- I
MEAN WE CAN'T EXPRESS OUR SIMPLY
SYMPATHY DEEPLY ENOUGH- IT'S
EVERY PARENT'S WORST WORST
NIGHTMARE AND I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING THE STRATEGY AND- TURNING
INTO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS- ALL
RIGHT WE'LL TURNED OPPOSITION
NOW- KNOW WHAT WE'LL DO WE'LL GO
AHEAD. GO AHEAD AND TESTIFY- MY
NAME IS SHELLY. I'M TEN IN I
LIVE IN CARLSBAD CALIFORNIA WHEN
I WAS EIGHT MY SIX YEAR OLD
SISTER AND I WERE TAKEN FROM MY
MOM WHILE SHE WAS AT WHAT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A QUICK COURT
HEARING. ON THAT DAY WE LOST ALL
RIGHTS TO CONTACT WITH THEM- OUR
MANY SIBLINGS AND NOT ENTIRE
SIDE OF OUR FAMILY. OUR ATTORNEY
SAID COULD I DIE GAINS FULL
CUSTODY OF US. HE DAN KEPT US
AWAY FROM OUR ATTORNEY ANTI
THERAPIST AND BEGAN TAKING US TO
THE UNIFICATION CARE ACT. THAT
WAS WEIRD BECAUSE WE NEVER USED
TO SEE HIM SO WHY DID WE NEED TO
UNIFIED. WE TOLD ABOUT THE VIEWS
BUT HE KEPT TELLING US TO LOOK
ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AND HE'S
GETTING BETTER BUT HE WASN'T. WE
TRUSTED HER TO HELP US BUT WE
LATER LEARNED THAT SHE NEVER
REPORTED THE ABUSE. TWO MONTHS
LATER MY DAD. TOLD US WE WERE
GOING TO REUNIFICATION CAMP THAT
WOULD HELP US COME TOGETHER AS A
FAMILY. MY THIRTEEN YEAR OLD
BROTHER WAS BROUGHT IN BY
PROFESSIONAL TRANSPORT AGENTS.
HE TOLD US HE WAS THREATENED
WITH TASERS AND INJECTIONS OF
SEDATIVE SO THAT HE WOULD OBEY
THEM. I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW
STRONG HE WAS AND HOW HARD YOU
FIGHT TO STAY SAFE. I THINK
CAMPAIGN READ THE COURT ORDERS
TO I SAID SAID IT WOULD BE
NINETY DAYS WITH MY MOM. EVERY
TIME WE MISBEHAVED TRY TO RUN
AWAY OR YOU CAN JUST SAY NO TO
NINETY DAYS. RECESSES TWENTY
RENDON CHRIS TURNER MAINLY.
INSURANCE TICKETS BELIEVING. THE
TARDIS ABOUT PARENTAL. A NATION.
AND TOLD US THAT OUR MOM WAS OUR
FUTURE. I WOULD MENTION THE
WIZARD THAT IF YOU DOESN'T IT
WOULD SAY ARE MUST BE TELLING US
LIES AND MANIPULATING US.
UNIFICATION CAN'T MEET MY
RELATIONSHIP WITH MY DAD WORDS I
KNEW WE'D PURPOSEFULLY TAKEN IS
FOR MY MOM. WE WERE KIDNAPPED
AND THEN PUT THE ALL THE- THINGS
WHICH WAS JUST ALIVE. FOUR
MONTHS AFTER BEING TAKEN WE WERE
RESCUED AND MADE A HOME TO OUR
MOM. WE ARE ALL DIAGNOSIS
COMPLEX PTSD ANXIETY AND
DEPRESSION AND MY BROTHER. AND
MY BROTHER OVERDOSED ON ANTI
DEPRESSANTS NEARLY DIED. WE HAD
A HUGE ABOUT THREE IN CASE YOU
CAN'T PER WEEK. I WOULD LIKE TO
THINK EVERYONE HERE. RELATING MY
VOICE BECAUSE IN THE FAMILY
COURT I WAS SAILING. PLEASE
MANAGER UNIFICATION CANS IN
PASSED SENATE BILL THREE THREE
ONE TO PROTECT KIDS LIKE ME.
OKAY- WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
COURAGE. ALL RIGHT. WELL LET'S
NOW OPPOSITION WILL HAVE NINE
MINUTES AND FIFTY TWO SECONDS
SO- TURNING NOW TO THE
OPPOSITION PRIMARY WITNESS IN
OPPOSITION. YES YES ALL RIGHT GO
AHEAD OF YOU VERY MUCH FOR
GIVING ME THIS OPPORTUNITY MY
NAME IS DANIEL PEROT'S ON I COME
TO YOU AS A PARENT- I HAVE HAD
THE UNFORTUNATE EXPERIENCE OF
GOING THROUGH A TREMENDOUS
DIVORCE AND CHILD CUSTODY-
HEARING- WELL. HIS MOTHER AND
FOR THIS YOUNG LADY WHO CAME- MY
SINCERE CONDOLENCES. AND- BUSE
AND AT ANY LEVEL IS A TRAGEDY.
BUT I COME BEFORE YOU AS A
FATHER WHO WAS A VICTIM OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. I COME TO YOU
AS A FATHER WHO SPENT FOUR HOURS
IN A PERIOD OF FOUR YEARS OF
SEEING MY CHILDREN SO IN OTHER
WORDS I GOT TO SEE MY CHILDREN
ONE HOUR A DAY ONE HOUR. PER
YEAR. IN SIX YEARS OF GOING
THROUGH CHILD AND DIVORCE-
CUSTODY. THERE WAS NO
ALLEGATIONS OF ABUSE AGAINST ME
THERE WAS A FALSE ALLEGATION
AGAINST ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS
WHICH IS KEPT ME WHICH KEPT. THE
COURT PROCESS MOVING FORWARD.
THOSE ALLEGATIONS TURNED OUT TO
BE A UNEQUIVOCALLY FALSE. TO
WHICH MY DAUGHTER WHO NOW IS IN
MY CUSTODY. MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER
IS NOW IN MY CUSTODY. WENT TO MY
PARENTS WENT TO MY FAMILY
MEMBERS AND SAID I'M SORRY THAT
WAS A LIE. IF I HAD NOT HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY OF A JUDGE AFTER TWO
JUDGES OF GOING THROUGH SIX
YEARS OF CUTS OF CUSTODY
HEARINGS. DID NOT ORDER A
REUNIFICATION THERAPY. I WOULD
NOT BE STANDING HERE TODAY.
REUNIFIED WITH MY YOUNGEST
DAUGHTER. I HAVE THREE CHILDREN
TOTAL TWO OF THEM AGED OUT OF
THE COURT SYSTEM. BUT MY
YOUNGEST DAUGHTER KNEW WHO IS
NOW SEVENTEEN IF I HAD KNOWN
THAT WE CAN BRING MINOR CHILDREN
INTO THIS YEAR AND I WOULD HAVE
BROUGHT HER. SO SHE COULD
TESTIFY TO YOU THAT HER AND I
HAVE A THRIVING RELATIONSHIP
NOW. SHE'S A WONDERFUL YOUNG
WOMAN. UNFORTUNATELY SHE HAD TO
GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF
MANIPULATION SHE HAD TO GO
THROUGH THE PROCESS OF TELLING.
COURT MEDIATORS SCS MEDIATORS
PSYCHOLOGISTS COUNSELORS THAT
SHE WAS MOLESTED WHEN IN FACT
SHE WAS NOT. SHE NOW KNOWS AND
SHE NOW SAYS UNEQUIVOCALLY I
TOLD HER TODAY WHERE WERE YOU
GOING TO AND I'M GOING TO
SACRAMENTO ALL WHY. I TRY NOT TO
SHARE TOO MANY THINGS WITH HER
BUT I TOLD HER ABOUT PEAK HE'S
LAW. AND I FOUND OUT THAT. HE
WAS NEVER A PART OF A
REUNIFICATION THERAPY PROCESS TO
BEGIN WITH. SO HOW CAN WE HOW
CAN WE COME HERE AND SAY. AGAIN
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. HE WAS NOT
PART OF A REUNIFICATION THERAPY
PROCESS HOW CAN WE EVEN. HOW CAN
WE EVEN GO FORWARD WITH SPEAKING
ABOUT- NULLIFYING REUNIFICATION
THERAPY. IF WE TAKE THAT OUT OF
THE HANDS OF THE JUDGE THEN YOU.
DIRECTLY WOULD BE TELLING ME
THAT IT DID NOT WORK AND YOU'D
BE SPEAKING TO MY DAUGHTER. WHO
SAID THAT REUNIFICATION THERAPY
DID NOT WORK WHEN IN FACT IT
DOES AND SHE'S A THRIVING YOUNG
WOMAN SHE ALSO HAS BEEN ABLE. TO
BRING MY OTHER TWO CHILDREN BACK
INTO MY LIFE SO THE
REUNIFICATION THERAPY. DOES IN
FACT WORK. THERE WERE FOUR
PSYCHOLOGIST PRIOR TO THE ONE
WHO DID THE REUNIFICATION
THERAPY WITH MY FAMILY. AND THEY
ALL CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSIONS
THAT THE FIFTH THE CHILDREN WERE
BEING COACHED. THAT THEY WERE
LYING THERE BE MANIPULATED. AND
SO I COME TO YOU TODAY IN
OPPOSITION RESPECTFULLY.
RESPECTFULLY THAT REUNIFICATION
DOES IN FACT WORK. AND I WOULD I
WOULD NOT BE STANDING HERE
REUNIFIED WITH MY CHILL CHILD IF
IT WASN'T FOR THOSE SUCH AS DR
STEINBERG. DR B. TO TWO B. ANI
DR WERNER. A LICENSED MARRIAGE
AND FAMILY THERAPIST RICHARD MY
IT. WHO DID INCREDIBLE WORK IN
ORDER TO REUNIFY ME ALONG WITH
MY CHILDREN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
. THANK YOU NEXT PRIMARY WITNESS
OPPOSITION. GOOD EVENING- TERRON
MEMBERS MY NAME IS SHANNON SEALY
I'M A LICENSED CLINICAL SOCIAL
WORKER IN SANTA CRUZ AND I
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE US SENATE
BILL THREE THREE ONE. I'D LIKE
TO OUTLINED THREE REASONS THIS
BILL WOULD CAUSE HARM TO
CHILDREN IN CALIFORNIA. FIRST
RECONNECTION THERAPY AND
INTERVENTION TO TREAT FRACTURED
FAMILIES HAS BEEN CONFLATED WITH
THE UNIQUE CASE OF PEAKY. NVQS
CASE THE COURT ORDER JOINT
CUSTODY AND IN RETROSPECT THIS
WAS A TRAGIC ERROR AND MY HEART
GOES OUT TO THE MOTHER AND THE
FAMILY. HOWEVER AN ERROR IN ONE
EXTREME CASE SHOULD NOT LEAD TO
SWEEPING PUBLIC POLICY CHANGE
IMPACTING THE LARGER POPULATION
OF HIGH CONFLICT FAMILY COURT
LITIGANTS. SECOND THE BILL
FUNDAMENTALLY MISUNDERSTANDS THE
PRINCIPLES AND CHALLENGES THE
RECONNECTION THERAPY WHICH IS
CLEAR IN THE MOST RECENT
AMENDMENT. IT DOES NOT
APPRECIATE THE CHILDREN
SOMETIMES BONTA THE ABUSIVE
PARENT AS A SURVIVAL STRATEGY.
THE PREFERRED PARENT CLAIMS TO
BE THE SAFE PARENTS BUT THE
ATTACHMENT OR BOND BETWEEN THE
PARENT AND THE CHILD MAY BE
ANYTHING BUT HEALTHY. THIS IS
THE PARENT THE COURT MUST ORDER
TO MEANINGFULLY PARTICIPATE NOT
THE REJECTED PARENT WHO IS
HIGHLY MOTIVATED TO IMPROVE THE
RELATIONSHIP. FELINE PARENT.
HOLDS ALL THE POWER IN THESE
AMOUNTS FAMILIES. CHANGING THE
LINE PARENTS BEHAVIOR IS THE
MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE
INTERVENTION. AS OPPOSED TO
ADDRESSING THE REJECTED PARENTS
BEHAVIOR AS THE AMENDMENT
LANGUAGE SUGGESTS. THIS BILL
WOULD. WOULD ENABLE PARENTS
INCLINED TO WEAPONIZE THEIR
CHILDREN AGAINST THE OTHER
PARENT WHICH IS THE COURSE OF
CONTROL TACTIC. IN OTHER WORDS
IT WOULD ALLOW EMOTIONAL ABUSE
OF CHILDREN AND LIMIT THE JUDGES
TOOLBOX AFFECTED REMEDIES. THIRD
AND FINALLY THERE'S A
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WITH THIS
BILL IT WOULD CREATE A SUBCLASS
OF FAMILIES INVOLVED THE FAMILY
LAW SYSTEM. WHO CANNOT ACCESS
THE SAME SERVICES TO RESTORE
HEALTHY FAMILY FUNCTIONING. AS
IS AVAILABLE AND THE AND THE
DEPENDENCY SYSTEM. FAMILY LAW
JUDGES THE SAME DISCRETION AS
DEPENDENCY JUDGES TO ORDER
EVIDENCE BASED INTERVENTIONS. IN
CLOSING. I'D LIKE TO UNDERLINE
THE FACT THAT OPPONENTS OF THIS
BILL STAND ON COMMON GROUND WITH
SUPPORTERS AND THAT WE ARE
DEEPLY CONCERNED. ABOUT INTIMATE
PARTNER VIOLENCE AND WANT TO
PROTECT CHILDREN FROM ABUSE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT-
WE'VE GOT THE WE'VE HAD SUPPORT
IN OPPOSITION- GO AHEAD. GOOD
EVENING MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
TRACY KENNY ABOUT THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL WE DO NOT HAVE A
POSITION ON THE BILL BUT WE DID
SUBMIT A LETTER WITH OUR
CONCERNS BECAUSE WE DID OPPOSED
SIMILAR LEGISLATION LAST YEAR
SENATE BILL SIX SIXTEEN. WE WANT
TO EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION TO
THE AUTHOR OUR OUR CONCERNS ARE
PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON THE-
JUDICIAL TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
WE APPRECIATE THAT THE AMENDMENT
SIGNIFICANTLY. DIMINISH THE
OPERATIONAL HARMS THAT WOULD
HAVE OCCURRED FROM THE FROM THE
ORIGINAL PROPOSALS INTRODUCED.
WE APPRECIATE THE OPENNESS TO
DIALOGUE WE'RE STILL REVIEWING
THE OTHER PROVISIONS WE WOULD
SUGGEST THAT SOME OF THE
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE
STILL IN THE LEGISLATION. WILL
TAKE STAFF TIME. THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE BE PROVIDING AND
DEVELOPING THE KIND OF TRAINING
THAT THERE'S- A FEELING THAT WE
NEED MORE UP AWAY FROM AN ACTUAL
TRAINING PROVISION AND SPEND IT.
CREATING REPORTS THAT WE THINK
ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE VALUABLE TO
LEGISLATURE AND WE ALSO. I
BELIEVE THAT FUNDAMENTALLY
DETERMINING TRAINING AND
OVERSEEING COMPLIANCE WITH USUAL
TRAINING IS AN INDEPENDENT
FUNCTION OF THE BRANCH WE
SHOULD. LEAVE THAT WITHIN THE
JUDICIAL BRANCH APPRECIATE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH THE UP ALREADY THANK YOU-

WAS TO LIVE THROUGH AND SPEAK TO
IT SO. I THANK YOU BOTH FOR
BEING BRAVE IN BEING HERE AND
SHARING YOUR STORIES AND FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO CALLED IN AND- AND I
KNOW THAT WAS REALLY HARD- AS
SENATOR RUBIO KNOWS THE THREE
OTHER LITTLE GIRLS THAT SHE
MENTIONED IN HER OPENING
STATEMENT LIVED IN MY DISTRICT
AND- I PLAYED A PRETTY BIG. ROLE
IN HELPING THEIR MOM AT THE END
OF THEIR LIFE AS WELL AND THEY
WERE INVOLVED IN A REUNIFICATION
PROGRAM AND THEIR FATHER
UNFORTUNATELY. I DID TAKE THEIR
LIVES AS WELL AS HIS OWN AS WELL
AS A SOCIAL WORKER WHO IS
OVERSEEING THE VISIT. IT WAS A
VERY TRAUMATIC- INCIDENT FOR
EVERYONE IN MY COMMUNITY. AND- I
. IT'S A BIG BIG CHALLENGE HOW
TO ADDRESS THESE FAMILY COURT
ISSUES I'LL JUST SAY THAT I
COMMEND SENATOR RUBIO. FOR
TAKING IT ON AND FOR YOU OFFER
STANDING UP WITH HER. I KNOW
YOUR WORK ON THE BILL AND WORK
OUT ALL THE THINGS HE SKATED OUT
OF JUDICIARY AND GIVE YOU A
CHANCE TO CONTINUE WORKING ON
IT. I THINK IT IT PARTNERS WELL
WITH CENTER CABALLERO SPILL.
WHICH SHE HAS ALSO THAT IS A LOT
MORE ABOUT VISITATION AND WHERE
THAT CAN HAPPEN. AND TRYING TO
MAKE THAT HAPPEN IN IN COURT
ROOMS SO THAT IT IS LESS EASY TO
GET A GUN AND- JUST HELPFUL FOR
THE SCENARIO THAT THE THREE
LITTLE GIRLS IN MY DISTRICT
SUFFERED SO. SENATOR RUBIO

YOU SENATOR- FOR CONTINUING TO
RAISE THIS ISSUE AND- AND FOR
WATCHING OUT FOR OUR KIDS AND

TREATMENTS- WOULD PROHIBIT
COURTS FROM ORDERING FAMILY
REUNIFICATION TREATMENTS. WHAT'S
THE- IF THAT'S- TO BE PROHIBITED
WHAT'S OF THE HEALTHY SUBSTITUTE
WHAT IS THE SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT.
THAT WOULD. ADDRESSED THE ISSUE
HAS BEEN RAISED BY OTHER ON THE
OPPOSITION WHICH IS THAT. IT
WORKS IT IT HAS WORKED- I DON'T
KNOW WHAT THE- YOU KNOW THE- IS
THERE'S A PERCENTAGE OF WHAT IT
DOES OR DOESN'T OR IF THERE'S
JUST AN OUTRIGHT NO NOT USE IT
BUT- NOT MAKE THAT AVAILABLE FOR
THE COURTS BUT- THIS THERE'S
OTHER THINGS. IN ITS PLACE THAT
SHOULD BE USED. THANK YOU FOR
THAT- I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT
ONE THING AND AT THE ISSUE THAT
THE PARENT DANIEL BARBOSA WHO IS
THE OPPOSITION. HAS ISSUED WHAT
HE SHARED HIS STORY THAT HE
SHARED AS WELL AS WHAT HAPPENED
TO SOLELY AS WELL AS WHAT
HAPPENED TO IT TO PEAK IN HIS
MURDER ME THEY ALL HAVE ONE
THING IN COMMON. AND THAT IS
THAT THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES ALL
ARISE FROM A RULING. THAT A
JUDGE ME. AND SO I THINK THIS
ONLY HIGHLIGHTS THE IMPORTANCE
OF THIS BILL BECAUSE IT'S
FOCUSED ON THE EDUCATION OF THE
COURTS AND THE JUDGES NOW IF
THIS GOES AWAY. I AND I WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT WHAT THIS DOES YOU
KNOW. BUT THE ORDER IS FOR A
CHILD TO BEACH IS RIPPED AWAY
FROM THEIR- KNOWN FOR A
HOUSEHOLD THEY'RE TAKEN AWAY
SOMETIMES NINE MONTHS AN
UPRIGHT- HASN'T. THAT I HEARD
SHE HASN'T SEEN HER CHILD IN TWO
YEARS. ARE THERE THIS
SUBSTITUTION THERE'S FAMILY
THERAPY THERE IS- YOU KNOW TOWN
SALIM I IN SCHOOL AS A TEACHER I
CAN SAY WE HAVE A LOT OF OPTIONS
BUT- I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO
THINK IF THIS DISAPPEARS WE
DON'T HAVE OPTIONS WE HAVE. A
LOT OF QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONS
THAT PROVIDE SERVICES TO FAMILY.
AND WHAT THIS BILL DOES I DON'T
BELIEVE. FIXES THE PROBLEM AS
YOU HEARD FROM THE CELL EASILY
WAS GONE FOR ABOUT NINE MONTHS
SHE COULD EVEN CALLED HER MOM.
SHE WAS TRAUMATIZED OVER THIS
AND- THAT'S NOT FIXING THE
PROBLEM SO I THINK THIS THE ONLY
HIGHLIGHT HIGHLIGHTS THE
IMPORTANCE THAT MR BARBOSA WHO
SAYS YOU KNOW THERE WAS ISSUES
WITH HIS WIFE YOU KNOW ON I
STILL EAT. AGAIN I WANT TO
CLARIFY THAT THIS BILL IS TO
HIGHLIGHT THE DEFICIENCY
SOMETIMES IN THE RULING OF THE
COURT- SOUL NUMBER ONE IS THAT.
WE NEEDED EDUCATION FOR THE
COURTS AND THE JUDGES BUT NUMBER
TWO I WANT TO ALSO FOCUS ON SOME
OF THE COMMENTS MADE THAT IT
SHOULDN'T. OTHER WE SHOULDN'T
TALK ABOUT PEAKY AND APPLICATION
OF THE PRODUCT. OF THE RESENT
ITS NAME PEAKY IS THAT FINAL THE
MOTHER PERSONALLY SHE'S A FRIEND
ANOTHER GRAMMA. AND PEACHES FROM
MY DISTRICT SO I WANTED TO HONOR
HIM. BY NAMING A PICKY BUT IF
YOU LOOK AT THE TITLE OF THE
BILL. THE TITLE OF THE BILL SAYS
PEACE LAW. KEEPING CHILDREN SAFE
FROM FAMILY VIOLENCE SEOUL PEAKY
SLAW IS JUST TO HIGHLIGHT HIS
NAME BUT- HER RULING LET. IN
SOME WAY TO THE MURDER OF THE
CHILD. THE OTHER RULING LED TO
ZOIE BEING TAKEN AWAY FOR NINE
MONTHS AND TORMENT TED. AND I
WOULD. ARGUE AND IN MANY WAYS
THAT THERE IS A RULING THAT MR
BUBBLES I HAD THAT. COULD BE
FAVORABLE AND UNFAVORABLE
BECAUSE HE SAID THAT THE CHILD
WAS TAKEN AWAY AND HE WAS
STRUGGLING SOMEONE HOW TO MAKE
THAT RULING. BUT TO SAY THAT OF
THE SCHOOLS AWAY WE DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING ELSE HERE WE HAVE
THERAPISTS WE HAVE FAMILY
COUNSELORS WE HAVE. SERVICE
PROVIDERS THAT HELP FAMILIES
NAVIGATE. THESE ISSUES ARE AND
I'M SO SORRY FOR MR BUBBLES AND
I'M SORRY FOR HILLARY AND TOP
PEAKY BUT- ONCE AGAIN YOU HAVE
TO SITES DISCUSSING OUTCOMES AND
DECISIONS. CLEARLY THERE'S A
PROBLEM WE'RE DEALING WITH
CHILDREN WE'RE DEALING WITH
VULNERABLE CIRCUMSTANCES WHETHER
ONE IS RIGHT OR THE OTHER. ONE
THING IS CLEAR. WE NEED TO LOOK
INTO THIS ISSUE WE NEED TO
EDUCATE WHICH IS WHAT THIS BILL
INTENDS TO DO. AND WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THESE CHILDREN
ARE PUT THROUGH SUCH. HORRIFIC
CIRCUMSTANCES SO. THIS NOT ONLY
HAPPENS HERE BUT I WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT ALSO THAT CHILDREN ARE
REMOVED FROM CALIFORNIA TAKEN TO
OTHER STATES. THAT IS NOT WHAT A
CHILD IS COMFORTABLE WITH I'M A
TEACHER I CAN TELL YOU PLUCKING
A CHILD OUT OF SCHOOL WITH THEIR
FRIENDS AND THEIR FAMILIES NOT
NECESSARILY THEIR HOME LIFE.
THAT'S ALSO DRAMATIC SO WE'RE
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO
WE KEEP THESE CHILDREN SAFE THAT
IS WHY IT IS CALLED. KEEPING
CHILDREN SAFE FROM FAMILY
VIOLENCE SELF WE HAVE PLENTY OF
GOOD INSTITUTIONS THAT PROVIDE
SERVICES. FOR FAMILIES. THANK

COMMENTS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS

BILL WHICH IS ITEM FORTY FOUR SB

B. OF THE FLOOR IS YOURS
SENATORS SEVEN NINE EXCUSE ME SB
SEVEN NINETY FIVE BY SENATOR
STERN THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL
RIGHT THIS IS ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR STERN AND HE IS
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS ON
PAGES SIX THROUGH NINE OF THE
ANALYSIS REFERENCED ON BOTH FOUR
AND FIVE. IT WAS AMENDMENTS
INCLUDED ADOPTING- THE SENATE
ENERGY COMMITTEE IS A TRACK
TRACKING SYSTEM ISSUES AS WELL
AS THE JUDICIARY'S TECHNICAL AND
SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS. IN ALL
RIGHT SB SEVEN NINE FIVE
PROMOTES CALIFORNIA'S ENERGY
EFFICIENCY AND GREENHOUSE GAS
REDUCTION GOALS BY ENSURING THAT
WE TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO
DEVELOP ELECTRONIC REGISTRIES.
THAT WOULD ONE TRAGE TRACK H.
BACK EQUIPMENT SALES TO ENSURE
INSTALLERS COMPLY WITH PERMIT
AND CODE REQUIREMENTS AND TO
WOULD PROVIDE A TITLE TWENTY
FOUR ENERGY CODE COMPLIANCE
DOCUMENTATION REPOSITORY
ACCESSIBLE TO BUILDING
OFFICIALS. TO SIMPLIFY AND
IMPROVE ENFORCEMENT THAT IS C.
E. C. AND C. P. U. C. HAVE FOUND
THAT CONTRACTORS PULLING H. BACK
REPLACEMENT PERMITS OCCUR AS
LITTLE AS 10% OF THE TIME AND
THAT CONTRACTORS COMPLY WITH
TITLE TWENTY FOUR QUALITY
INSULATION REQUIREMENTS. AS
LITTLE AS 15% OF THE TIME THIS
LACK OF COMPLIANCE DIRECTLY
RESULT IN INCREASED ENERGY
DEMAND IMPROPERLY INSTALLED H.
FAX SYSTEMS FOR EXAMPLE HAVE
BEEN FOUND TO INCREASE ENERGY
USE BY UP TO TWENTY TO THIRTY
PERCENT. THE PROPOSAL FOR AN
ELECTRONIC TITLE TWENTY FOUR
DOCUMENTATION REGISTRY AND H.
BACK SALES TRACKING REGISTRY ARE
NOT NEW CALIFORNIA AGENCIES HAVE
ISSUED NUMEROUS REPORTS OVER THE
PAST FIFTEEN YEARS. CALLING FOR
BOTH OF THESE SOLUTIONS BUT WE
STILL REMAIN WITHOUT EVEN A PLAN
FOR IMPLEMENTING THE SOLUTIONS
IN THE MEANTIME THE GLOBAL
WARMING CRISIS IS CONTINUING TO
ACCELERATE. THIS BILL DOES NOT
IMPOSE ANY NEW REQUIREMENTS ON
BUILDERS OR BUILDING OFFICIALS
CONTRACTORS ARE ALREADY REQUIRED
BY LAW TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY
HAVE COMPLIED WITH THE ENERGY
CODE BY FILLING OUT COMPLIANCE
DOCUMENTS AND SUBMITTING THOSE
TO THE BUILDING OFFICIALS. WHEN
BUILDING OFFICIALS ARE ALREADY
REQUIRED TO VERIFY THAT THESE
DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.
THE BILL DOES PROVIDE THAT
DATABASE IS NEEDED TO CATCH
CONTRACTORS WHO FAIL TO PULL THE
PERMITS AND PROVIDES AN
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT VERIFICATION
PROCESS TO EASE THE ENERGY CODE
ENFORCEMENT BURDEN ON BUILDING
OFFICIALS THAT HAS RESULTED IN A
LACK OF ENFORCEMENT. EVEN WHEN
PERMITS ARE PULLED WHILE ALSO
ENSURING THAT CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION ADDED TO THE CELLS
TRACKING REGISTRY AND THE
COMPLAINTS DATABASE ARE KEPT
CONFIDENTIAL. I'M NOT SURE IF HE
ACTUALLY DOES HAVE PEOPLE HERE
TO SPEAK TO THIS ISSUE DATE IS
HE STILL ALL RIGHT GREAT THAN
WITH THE CHAIRS PERMISSION YES.
ALL RIGHT PRIME ME WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT. THANK YOU CHAIR OUR
COMMENTS LONG BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE PIPE TRADES
COUNCIL IN THE WESTERN STATES
CONSERVE SHEET METAL WORKERS
SCOTT WHICH IS GOING TO BE HERE
TONIGHT AS WELL WE HAVE TO GO TO
SONS BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH WITH
UNDERSTAND. ON THIS BILL
ADDRESSES TWO ISSUES FIRST IS
THAT 8290% OF A TRACK RECORD FOR
ITS ARE INSTALLED WITHOUT A
PERMIT ME THIS NO OVERSIGHT AS
TO WHETHER THERE ARE INSTALLING
COULD. CODE COMPLIANT ENERGY
EFFICIENT EQUIPMENT AND WHETHER
THAT INSTALLATION HAS BEEN DONE
CORRECTLY. AND SECOND EVEN WHEN
THE PERMITS ARE PULLED BUILDING
OFFICIALS ARE NOT ENFORCING
ENERGY CODE COMPLIANCE AND
ACCEPTANCE TEST DOCUMENTATION
REQUIREMENTS. YOUR TO RESOURCE
CONSTRAINTS. STUDIES ARE SHOWING
THAT UP 285% OF A TRACK UNITS
FOR EXAMPLE INSTALLED
INCORRECTLY THIS RESULTS IN
2230% LOSSES. MANAGER EFFICIENCY
BY CORRECTING THIS ISSUE WE'RE
GOING TO SAVE A LOT OF ENERGY
AND WITH THIS BE LESS POWER
PLANTS THAT NEED TO BE BUILT. I
THINK I THINK COMMITTEE STAFF
WORKING ON US WORKING WITH US TO
REVISE THE LANGUAGE WE HAVE IN
THIS BILL TO ADDRESS PRIVACY
ISSUES. ARM YOU KNOW THIS BILL
DOESN'T A DOESN'T CREATE ANY
DOESN'T CREATE ANY NEW PERSONAL
PUBLIC DATA COLLECTION
REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE ALL THE
COMPLIANCE- DOCUMENTATION THAT
AN ACCEPTANCE TEST DATA. ALREADY
REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE COLLECTED.
AND PROVIDED TO THE BILLING
DEPARTMENT THIS ENSURES THAT IF
WE HAVE A REPOSITORY THEY WERE
GONNA FOLLOWS EXISTING STATE
LAW. THAT UNLIKE TRYING DATABASE
WILL PROTECT PERSONAL
INFORMATION. ANNUAL EXAM-

CENTER ALSO GO HEAD. RIGHT. OKAY
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
THIS IS SB FIVE NINETY FOUR. I
WANT TO THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
YOUR COMMITTEE FOR WORKING WITH
MY OFFICE ON THIS BILL AND FOR
YOUR ANALYSIS. I WILL START BY
SAYING THAT I WILL BE ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENT TO
REVERT EXISTS TO EXISTING LAW
AND NOT REQUIRE THE DISCLOSURE
OF MEMBERS. OF MANAGER MANAGED
LLCS WHO ARE NOT BENEFICIAL
OWNERS. SB FIVE NINETY FOUR AIMS
TO ESTABLISH TRANSPARENCY IN THE
OWNERSHIP OF LIMITED LIABILITY
COMPANIES AND SIMILAR CORPORATE
ENTITIES. THIS BILL REQUIRES
THAT LLCS AND CORPORATIONS
DISCLOSE THE NAME OF OWNERS WITH
SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL OVER THE
ENTITY WHEN THEY ARE CREATED AND
WHEN THEY SUBMIT THEIR FILINGS
WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S
OFFICE. EXISTING LAW ALLOWS FOR
THE CREATION OF LLCS AND SIMILAR
ENTITIES IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
LEGAL PROTECTION FOR ASSETS NOT
OWNED BY THE L. L. C. HOWEVER
ARE ALL ON SOME OWNERS OFTEN CAN
ABUSE LLC'S. TO SHIELD NOT ONLY
THEIR ASSETS BUT ALSO THEIR
IDENTITIES RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO
REQUIRED PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF
WHO THE REAL OWNERS OF AN LLC OR
CORPORATION ARE. MANY LLC'S ARE
OWNED IN THE NAME OF ANOTHER LLC
WHICH CREATES AN ADDITIONAL.
LAYER UPON. ANONYMITY NONE OF
THIS IS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE
LEGAL AND THE FINANCIAL
PROTECTION AFFORDED BY FORMING
AN LLC THE ABILITY FOR LLCS TO
ABUSE THE STRUCTURE TO REMAIN
ANONYMOUS ENDS UP PRESENTING
NUMEROUS ISSUES- INSTANCE
ANONYMOUS LLCS ARE PERVASIVE
AMONG EMPLOYERS THAT SCREWED
LAWS MEANT TO PROTECT WORKERS.
DECEITFUL EMPLOYERS CAN USE LLCS
TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY FOR
UNDERPAYING WORKERS BY THE TIME
A BUSINESS IS FOUND RESPONSIBLE
FOR VIOLATIONS THE OWNERS HAVE
DISSOLVE THE LLC AND CREATED A
NEW ONE. LEAVING NOBODY TO PAY
BACK WAGES OR ADDITIONAL SAFETY
ISSUES. A NEW TAKES YEARS
SOMETIMES TO CONNECT THE DOTS TO
SHOW. WITH A SINGLE PERSON IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR INSTANCE ARE
CONTRACTORS CAN SPLIT
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ACROSS
LLC'S TO PRESENT THE APPEARANCE
OF THE CONTRACT IS UNDER THE
LOCAL COST THRESHOLD. WHEN IN
FACT THE TOTAL COST CAN BE ABOVE
A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT
TRIGGER. THE LACK OF OWNER
TRANSPARENCY ALSO PROVIDES THE
AVENUE TO AND AVENUE TO SKIRT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUB STANDARD
HOUSING AND ONE LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES FINALLY
CLOSE IN. THE BAD ACTORS SIMPLY
SWITCH LLC'S CREATES SUBSTANTIAL
DELAYS- ON AND CREATE
SUBSTANTIAL DELAYS SB FIVE NINE
FOUR IS A GOOD GOVERNANCE BILL
DOES NOT CHANGE IN ANY WAY THE
LEGAL PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO
THAT LEAD UP TO THE ENTITIES- WE
ARE NOT CREATING ANY NEW
REPORTERS. JUST ASKING FOR ONE
ADDITIONAL POINT OF INFORMATION
ON A FORMED THE ENTITIES ALREADY
CURRENTLY FILL OUT TODAY WE HAVE
TWO WITNESSES RUTH SILVER TAUBE
SUPERVISING ATTORNEY AT THE
SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF
LAW. AND DO YOU HAVE TO DO ADDS
GROUP BY OUR CHIEF OF ORGANIZING
CAMPAIGNS THE CALIFORNIA
REINVESTMENT COALITION. THANK
YOU GOOD EVENING SENATORS THE
ABILITY TO USE AND ABUSE LLCS TO
CREATE ANONYMITY ALLOWS
DISHONEST EMPLOYERS TO PLAY
SHELL GAMES AND AVOID COMPLYING
WITH LAWS THAT PROTECT WORKERS.
THIS HAPPENS ACROSS A VARIETY OF
INDUSTRIES INCLUDING HOSPITALITY
CONSTRUCTION NURSING HOMES THE
PORTS AND OTHER LOW WAGE
INDUSTRIES IN MY WORK I SEE THIS
HAPPEN ALL THE TIME I RECENTLY
WORKED WITH THE LABOR COMMISSION
ATTORNEY ON A WAGE THEFT IN
RETALIATION CASE WHERE WE HAVE
TO NAME ELEVEN HOTEL AND
RESTAURANT ENTITIES. BECAUSE WE
DID NOT KNOW THE OWNERS WE WOULD
NOT HAVE TO NAME SO MANY
ENTITIES OR EXPERIENCE A LONG
DELAY IF WE KNEW WHO WAS ON THE
HIP HOP IN LITIGATION WE WON'T
SUBJECT INNOCENT AND ENTITIES TO
DISCOVERY. AND LOW WAGE
INDUSTRIES LLC IS ARE OFTEN USED
TO HIDE ASSETS THAT MAKE IT HARD
FOR WORKERS TO EVER RECOVER
WAGES EVEN AFTER THERE IS A
JUDGMENT IN A RESTAURANT CASE
THE RESTAURANT CHANGED HANDS
TWENTY ONE TIMES ARE EVERY TIME
THERE WAS A JUDGMENT. THOSE
OWNERS CAN SIMPLY DISSOLVE THEIR
BUSINESS AND QUICKLY SET UP SHOP
UNDER A NEW NAME WHILE STILL
MAINTAINING OWNERSHIP. AND
REGISTER WITH THE SECRETARY OF
STATE'S OFFICE ALL WITHOUT
HAVING TO DISCLOSE WHO THE REAL
OWNER IS IF WORKERS DON'T KNOW
WHO THE OWNERS OF THE BUSINESS
ARE THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO FILE
CLAIMS. AT THE LABOR COMMISSION
BECAUSE THE OWNER COULD NOT BE
SERVED WE'VE HEARD THAT ONE OF
THE MOST TIME CONSUMING
ACTIVITIES FOR THE LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE. IS TRYING
TO DETERMINE WHO THE EMPLOYER IS
PROSECUTORS COULD ALSO BETTER
IDENTIFY LAW BREAKING
INDIVIDUALS IN. CRIMINAL CASES
REQUIRING LLCS AND COMPANIES TO
INCLUDE THEIR BENEFICIAL OWNERS
IN THEIR BUSINESS FILINGS WILL
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY. THAT'S WHY
WE NEED SB FIVE NINETY FOUR A
GOOD GOVERNANCE BELL AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU
SUPPORT THIS. EFFORT AND VOTE I
THANK YOU. THANK YOU NEXT WITH.
GOOD EVENING CHAIR AMERICAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON JOBS
FOR FOLLOW WITH THE CALIFORNIA
REINVESTMENT COALITION AS
STEWARDS OF RESPONSIBLE USE OF
TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND GOOD
GOVERNANCE WE HOPE YOU'LL
SUPPORT. SB FIVE NINE FOUR. AS
YOU KNOW FAMILIES OBTAIN
FINANCIAL STABILITY BUILD
INTERGENERATIONAL WEALTH OF YOUR
HOME OWNERSHIP HOWEVER. OUR
RESEARCH IS POINTING TO ALARMING
TRENDS AND HOUSING AND LAND
OWNERSHIP IN CALIFORNIA BECOMING
MORE AND MORE CONCENTRATED IN
THE HANDS OF A FEW LARGE
ENTITIES. REDFIN DATA FROM Q.
FOUR OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE WHEN
INTEREST RATES FOR A HISTORIC
LOW- SHOW THAT 75% OF ALL
PURCHASES MADE BY LIMITED
LIABILITY CORPORATIONS WEREN'T
ALL CASH. THESE BUYERS ARE NOT
SMALL INVESTORS THESE ARE LARGE
OPERATIONS GROWING AS MONOPOLIES
A REPORT CALLED CASHING IN HER
HOME IN OUR HOMES. RELEASED
EARLIER IN THE YEAR SHORT THAT
JUST TEN OF THE LARGEST
LANDLORDS AND UP IN AMERICA OUR
OPERATING BUSINESSES IN
CALIFORNIA. I'M JUST LEAST TEN
ENTITIES HOW TO MASS HUNDRED
NINETY ONE BILLION DOLLARS CASH
ON HAND. AND WE'RE READYING FOR
A BUYING FRENZY IN A STATE THAT
IS ALREADY STRESSED MY HOUSING
ON IT UNAFFORDABILITY FURTHER
CONSOLIDATION UNDER THESE LARGE
CORPORATE LANDLORDS WHO ARE
MOTIVATED FIRST AND FOREMOST. BY
THEIR NEED TO CHAU QUARTERLY
GAINS IN THEIR INVESTMENT ARE
UNDOUBTEDLY MAKING THINGS WORSE
FOR TENANTS AND STEALING
OPPORTUNITIES FROM SMALL
INVESTORS AND FIRST TIME HOME
BUYERS IN PARTICULAR. FAMILIES
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE CANNOT
COMPETE WITH HUNDRED NINETY ONE
BILLION IN CASH ON HAND. WHAT'S
WORSE IS THAT THE QUARTERLY
GAINS ORIENTATION MEANS THAT
THESE OWNERS INVEST THE LEAST
POSSIBLE IN THEIR BUILDINGS
LIVING CONDITIONS ARE WORSE AND
BUILDINGS OWNED BY LARGE
CORPORATIONS. AND SMALL
INVESTORS AS WE LOOK TO SUPPORT
NEW DEVELOPMENT OF HOUSING THAT
IS AFFORDABLE TOO AND THE
AVERAGE CALIFORNIAN WE NEED
OWNER TRANSPARENCY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE CURRENT HOUSING STOCK
DOES NOT FALL INTO DECAY IN THE

THANK YOU. AND AT THIS TIME
THERE ARE NO FURTHER IN Q. ALL
RIGHT LET'S BRING BACK COMMITTEE
QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
NO QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE
MEMBERS OF SCOTT WIENER CENTER
WIENER THAT ONE. MOVES THE BILL.
SO A COUPLE COUPLE QUESTIONS OF
THE AUTHOR- SENATE ALSO UNITED
CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS BILL I
THINK I UNDERSTAND THE INTENT
AND YOU CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG
THAT THAT THE BILL IN SOME WAYS
MIRRORS THE CORPORATE
TRANSPARENT THE FEDERAL
CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT. OF
IN THE US DOESN'T REQUIRE THE
REPORTERS REALLY TOGETHER NEW
INFORMATION IT JUST REQUIRES
THEM TO REPORT CERTAIN
INFORMATION ON FOR EXAMPLE THE
STATEMENT OF INFORMATION. IF THE
MIKE IN MY CORRECT IN THAT
REGARD. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
STATE INFORMATION BUT THEY DO
LIST THEY DO LIST- EXEMPTION SO-
JUST SAID REGARD TO THAT WOULD
BE GLAD TO LOOK AT IT OF BUT WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE. THAT WE'RE
REALLY GONNA ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE
SET OUT TO DO WHICH IS GOING TO
GIVE YOU KNOW THE INFORMATION
THAT'S NEEDED SO THAT THERE
AREN'T THESE BAD ACTORS-
FUNCTIONING OUT THERE- AND JUST
ONE EXAMPLE THAT'S AN EXEMPTION
UNDER THE FEDERAL LAW- IS THEY
EXEMPT ANYBODY WITH TWENTY
EMPLOYEES OR MORE RIGHT I MEAN
THAT WOULD. TOTALLY DEFEAT WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE SO. I'LL
BE GLAD I'LL BE GLAD TO LOOK AT
THAT BUT I DON'T- I DON'T SEE.
TOO MANY OF THESE EXEMPTIONS
THAT WOULD STILL ALLOW US TO. GO
AFTER THE BAD ACTORS. WELL I
DON'T WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE
NOT CONNECTED HERE OKAY SO- THE
TWENTY TWO EXEMPTIONS AND THE
ONE YOU POINT OUT- IS THE ONE
THAT IS OF CONCERN AND I AGREE
WITH YOU BY THE WAY. THAT IF FOR
EXAMPLE THAT KIND OF AN ENTITY
OWNS REAL ESTATE WHICH IS PART
OF THE- TRANSPARENCY CHALLENGE
HERE. THAT THAT THEY SHOULD BE
OF A REPORTER THE OTHER WORDS
THEY SHOULD NOT BE ONE OF THE
EXEMPTED CATEGORIES. OF BUT THE
OTHER CATEGORIES. OF I KNOW YOU
AND I DISCUSSED THIS AND IN
TODAY'S BEEN A FAST MOVING DAY
IN LAST WEEK'S BEEN A FAST
MOVING WEEK. BUT IT IS I
UNDERSTAND IT. WELL LET ME
REPHRASE. THAT- LET ME ASK THAT
YOU NOT MOVE THIS TO THE FLOOR
WE'RE GOING TO PASS OUT TODAY
NOT MOVE THIS SO FLOOR UNTIL-
WE'VE REACHED. AN UNDERSTANDING
AS TO WHO'S GOING TO BE EXEMPT
MY CONCERN IS THAT. OF THE WAY
IF THE BILL MEARS THE CORPORATE
TRANSPARENCY EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE
EXCLUSION THEN IT DOESN'T REALLY
CREATE AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN UPON
ANY BUSINESSES TO COLLECT
INFORMATION AND I THINK THAT WAS
THE INTENT. IF THERE'S GOING TO
BE A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW
BUSINESSES THAT ARE REQUIRED TO
COLLECT IT WOULDN'T HAVE TO
COLLECT INTO THE FEDERAL ACT
THAT IS AN ADDITIONAL BURDEN IN
A DISPOSITIONAL BURDEN UPON
BUSINESSES THAT MAY HAVE NO.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE PURPOSE OF
THE BILL WHICH IS TO BASICALLY
ILLUSTRATING PROVIDE
TRANSPARENCY AS TO WHO OWNS FOR
EXAMPLE- APARTMENT BUILDINGS.
OKAY BUT IT'S NOT THAT I JUST
JUST SO I CAN GET IT UP CLEAR SO
IT'S NOT JUST LIMITED TO. APART
YOU KNOW REAL FOR REAL ESTATE
OWNERS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
RIGHT- IT'S TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
ENOUGH INFORMATION AND ALSO THE
INFORMATION. IS ONE. ONE
QUESTION RIGHT IT'S WHO IS THE-
YOU KNOW WHO IS THE- WHO IS THIS
THE AREA WHAT'S THAT- AT. THE
BILL WHAT'S THE TITLE HERE- OKAY
I KNOW THERE'S THAT ONE. AND ONE
WORD THAT THE OWNER RIGHT THE
SPECIAL OWNER OR RIGHT WE WANT
TO MAKE CHEN OFFICIAL OWNERS OF
BENEFICIAL SORRY- THE BENEFICIAL
OWNERS SO THAT'S WHAT WE REALLY
WANT IT'S ONE QUESTION. AND I
DON'T THINK THAT'S AS BURDENSOME
AS A WHOLE NEW FORM SO. IF
THERE'S SOME. SPECIAL ONE OF
THESE EXEMPTIONS THAT YOU THINK.
WOULD REALLY- YOU KNOW DESERVE
TO. BE EXEMPT YOU KNOW WE SHOULD
WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT BUT- SO FAR
EVERY THE LIST THAT WE'VE SEEN
THERE AREN'T. THERE AREN'T ANY
BUT- I'D BE WILLING TO LISTEN
YOU KNOW INTO THAT SO IS THAT I
MEAN I'M JUST LET ME I JUST WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT. WE DON'T
START FROM SCRATCH ABOUT THE
WHOLE LIST BECAUSE WE'VE REALLY
DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH INTO.
INTO THIS RIGHT SO OF THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ENACTED A
LAW THAT I THINK BECOMES
EFFECTIVE ON JANUARY ONE TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR THE REQUIRES-
BASICALLY ALL BUSINESSES TO
REPORT CERTAIN INFORMATION WHO
THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND I
THINK THAT THE FEDERAL ID
SOLUTION. IS DESIGNED TO DEAL
WITH MONEY LAUNDERING AND THAT
INFORMATION IS REQUIRED TO BE
REPORTED DEFENCE SET. AND SO UP
BUT IT'S CONFIDENTIAL FINSEN
HOLDS IT AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
THIS BILL I THOUGHT. BASICALLY
MADE THOSE SAME BUSINESSES
REPORT. NOT COLLECT NEW
INFORMATION BUT JUST INSTEAD OF
KEEPING IT. IN NAM IN CONFIDENCE
THAT IT EIGHT IT GETS PUBLICLY
REPORTED. AND IT GETS PUBLIC
REPORTED BECAUSE THEY FILE
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON STONE
FORMS THAT ARE ALREADY REQUIRED
BY THE STATE. IN THE ISSUE IS
THAT. THERE THE FEDERAL LAW
EXEMPTS OUT- IS YOU POINT OUT
TWENTY TWO DIFFERENT CATEGORIES
ONE OF THEM I AGREE WITH YOU IS
. CONTRA INDICATED FOR THE
PURPOSE FOR WHICH THIS BILL IS
INTENDED BUT THE OTHERS FOR
EXAMPLE SECURITIES FIRMS INDIAN
TRIBES ACCOUNTING FIRMS THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS. THOSE ARE NOT
THE ENTITIES THAT THAT. AT LEAST
AS I UNDERSTAND ARE THE FOCUS OF
THE THIS BILLS- PURPOSE. SO WHAT
I'M ASKING IS I SUPPOSE IS YOU
WILL COMMIT TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH US ALTHOUGH I DON'T WANT TO
THEN IF WE IF WE CAN'T COME TO
AGREEMENT I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT
TO COMMIT TO REFER TO SUPPORTING
THIS ON THE FLOOR. BECAUSE I
THINK THAT IF WE DON'T EXEMPT
OUT SOME OF THESE ENTITIES IT'S
GOING TO REQUIRE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE NO
PURPOSE IN TERMS OF TRANSPARENCY
IN WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT. OKAY IF
CAN I HAVE MY SURE OKAY GO AHEAD
AND GOOD EVENING CENTER AMBERG I
ASKED CALIFORNIA REINVESTMENT
COALITION WERE PART OF THE
COALITION THAT- PUSH FOR THE
CORPORATE TRANSPARENCY ACT- AND
JUST TO REITERATE YOU YOU'RE
CORRECT THAT THE- GOAL OF. THE
CTA IS IN FACT PART OF A MONEY
LAUNDERING TO BE CAPTURED- SOME
OF THE ENTITIES THAT ARE EXEMPT
ARE DONE SO BECAUSE TREASURY.
AND FINSEN ALREADY HAVE ACCESS
TO THE INFORMATION- YOU KNOW OF
THE EXEMPTED ENTITIES SO THE
BANKING INDUSTRY CREDIT UNIONS
ARE SECURITIES INSURANCE BEEN
SENT HAS ACCESS TO WHO OWNS WHAT
THEIR- AND THE TWENTY SIX
EMPLOYEES OR LESS A WAS A
FOCUSED PERSON. CONSENT BECAUSE
THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT IS THAT SMALLER ENTITIES
ARE THE ONES THAT HAVE LIKE
MAYBE A BROKER. IN THE STATE'S
WHO'S BUYING- YOU KNOW THE
LANDS- WITH ALL CASH OR HORSES
WITH ALL CASH OR YACHTS WITH ALL
CASH. AND THOSE ARE THE FOLKS
THAT THAT VINCE AND WANTS TO
CAPTURE- AND REALLY ASK
QUESTIONS AROUND BUT THE LARGER
BUSINESSES YOU KNOW ARE PAYING
TAXES AND DOING OTHER-
ACTIVITIES WHICH ALLOW THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO FEEL
ASSURED THAT THEY ARE NOT MONEY
LAUNDERING OPERATIONS. THE
PURPOSE OF THE CALIFORNIA BILL
IS TO IMPLEMENT THE LAWS THAT WE
HAVE ON THE BOOKS AND SOME OF
THE ENTITIES THAT ARE EXEMPTED
COULD BE BAD PLAYERS IN TERMS OF
LIKE THEIR EMPLOYMENT PRACTICES.
SO WE ACTUALLY DO ONE
INFORMATION RELATED TO FINANCIAL
SERVICES PROVIDERS WE DO WANT IN
INFORMATION RELATED TO THAT YOU
KNOW BUSINESSES THAT ARE BIG AND
SMALL ALL THE SAME IN FACT WE
DON'T WANT TO WANT TO BE
BURDENSOME TO SMALLER
BUSINESSES. BUT PERHAPS MORE
MEANINGFULLY- THE SECRETARY OF
STATE WHERE THIS WORK WOULD
LIVE- IT WOULD BE BURDENSOME FOR
THEM TO ACTUALLY HAVE TO WEED
OUT. CERTAIN LLCS BECAUSE
CURRENTLY THE BILL AS IT IS
WOULD APPLY TO ALL THE PEOPLE
SUBMITTING. THE STATEMENT OF
INFORMATION AS YOU POINT OUT NOW
SO THIS. THE AS IT IS THIS.
VERSION THAT THE SECRETARY'S
OFFICE COULD UNDERTAKE. SO OKAY
WELL WE DO NOT A MEETING OF THE
MINDS CLEARLY. BECAUSE FOR
EXAMPLE ONE OF THE ENTITIES THAT
WOULD BE EXEMPT WHAT THE
REPORTER QUORUM IS YOU REPORT
ACTUALLY INDIVIDUALS SO. AN
INSURANCE COMPANY INSURANCE
COMPANY AS DEFINED IN YOUR BILL
HAS ALL WHOLE BUNCH OF FOLKS
THAT WOULD BE. REPORT REQUIRED
TO BE REPORTED PLUS THEIR
ADDRESS THAT THAT. IN MY CORRECT
IT WILL SAID IF THEY ARE IF THEY
ARE STRUCTURED AS A CORPORATION
THAT ACTUALLY THEY DON'T HAVE
ANY NEW REQUIREMENTS BECAUSE AS
A CORPORATION. THEY'RE ALREADY
REPORTING ON THEIR OFFICERS. AND
SO THEY THEY WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE
NO NEW INFORMATION SO IF THERE
CORPORATION THAT ALREADY HAS
THEIR OFFICERS OF PUBLICLY HELD
CORPORATION ALREADY HAS THEIR
OFFICERS THAT ARE DISPLAYED YOU
CAN LOOK IT UP YOU CAN USE THE
GOOGLE MACHINE FIND THEM RIGHT.
RIGHT WELL ACTUALLY- CURRENTLY
THE STATEMENT OF INFORMATION
REQUIRES THEM TO PROVIDE THAT
INFORMATION AND WE ARE JUST
UNDERLINING THAT PART- BUT
REALLY THIS BILL IS TARGETING
LIMITED LIABILITY CORPORATIONS
WHICH MAYBE. UNDER A CORPORATION
SO AND INSURANCE COMPANY OUR
SECURITIES COMPANY IF THEY HAVE
A WEB OF LLCS UNDER THEM WE
WOULD WANT THEM TO ACTUALLY
NAME. THEIR PARENT CORPORATION
IF YOU WILL AND THEN YOU KNOW A
STATE THAT THEY ARE PART OF
THAT- PYRAMID IF YOU WILL. RIGHT
NOW THIS BILL ITSELF. THIS IS. A
MINNESOTA SUPPORT THE BILL WITH
THE CAVEAT THAT THERE'S
SIGNIFICANT WORK THAT STILL
NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS BILL
BEFORE IT GOES TO THE FLOOR-
SOME OF THE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS SEEM TO BE
UNNECESSARY FOR THE INTENDED
PURPOSE OF THE BILL I THINK
YOU'VE ARE ILLUSTRATIVE
SOMEBODY'S ALREADY. HAD ALL THAT
INFORMATION IS REPORTED PUBLICLY
THERE'S NO NEED FOR THEM TO
BASICALLY REDO THAT TO SUBMIT TO
THE STATE. SELL OUT WITH WITH
WITH YOUR COMMITMENT CENTER ALSO
THE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
US AND WOULD BE HAPPY TO WORK
WITH STAKEHOLDERS. I'LL SUPPORT
THE BILL BUT I BUT I YOU'VE
HEARD MY CONCERNS ABOUT ADDING.
A BURDEN THAT HAS NO PURPOSE. SO
AND I DON'T THINK YOU ONE AT A
BIRD THAT NO PURPOSE SO. OKAY
THANK YOU WILL. WORK WITH YOU
OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OF OTHER
QUESTIONS I THINK THERE'S BEEN A
MOTION TO MOVE THE BILL. CENTER

MY WITNESS WHO'S BEEN HERE AND
ALL OF YOU HAVE SO I COMPLETELY
RECOGNIZE HER BUT SHE HAS A
FLIGHT TO CATCH SO APPRECIATE
THIS OPPORTUNITY. FIRST I WANT
TO- I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS THAT
CLARIFY THAT OUR FOUNDING TEAM
MEMBER MUST BE MORE THAN A
PASSIVE INVESTOR- WHEN A
BUSINESS IS PRIMARILY FOUNDED BY
DIVERSE TEAM MEMBERS AND ADDS
THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR
FOUNDING TEAM MEMBERS WHO ARE
VETERANS OR DISABLED VETERANS.
ON CALIFORNIA AS I THINK WE'RE
WELL AWARE HAS BEEN VERY
PROACTIVE IN PROMOTING DIVERSITY
AND INCLUSION IN OUR CORPORATE
AND FINANCIAL SECTOR WE'VE LED
THE NATION IN ADDRESSING PAY
EQUITY WHICH WE KNOW STILL
REMAINS UNEQUAL FOR WOMEN AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR. BUT WE'VE
MAKING STRIDES TO ADDRESS THAT.
I IMPAIR DEALS OF COURSE WITH
THOSE WHO ARE ON SALARY BUT FOR
THOSE WHO TAKE THE PATH TO BE
ENTREPRENEURIAL AND TO USE THEIR
SKILLS TO LAUNCH A START UP OR
OPEN A NEW ENTERPRISE. CAPITAL
INVESTMENTS PARTICULARLY FROM
VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT FIRMS
IS THEIR LIFELINE. UNFORTUNATELY
IF YOU ARE A WOMAN OR BLACK LED
START UP THE DATA SHOWS THAT
INVESTMENTS JUST DON'T COME YOUR
WAY REGARDLESS OF YOUR EXPERTISE
YOUR TRACK RECORD FOR THE
VIABILITY OF YOUR BUSINESS PLAN.
PITCH BOOK WHICH TRACKS VENTURE
INVESTMENTS FOUND THAT FEMALE
FOUNDED STARTUPS RECEIVED ONLY
TWO POINT 3% OF ALL VENTURE
CAPITAL INVESTED IN TWENTY
TWENTY. UNFORTUNATELY THAT
NUMBER TOOK A DIVE AND DROPPED
TO ONE POINT 7% IN TWENTY TWENTY
TWO. THE SAME REPORT FOUND THAT
ONLY 8% OF THE DECISION MAKERS
ACT VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS WERE
WOMEN IN ONLY 3% WERE BLACK NOW
WHETHER THAT HAS AN INFLUENCE OR
NOT. WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. AND MY
BILL DOES NOT. DOES NOT TRY TO
CHANGE THE COMPOSITION OF THE
VENTURE FIRM WHAT IT DOES
INSTEAD IS ASK VENTURE FIRMS.
YOUR DISCLOSURE AND TRANSPARENCY
PARENTS SHE- ASKED VENTURE FIRMS
TO REPORT ANNUALLY ON THE
DIVERSITY THEIR INVESTMENTS TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCIAL
PROTECTION IN INNOVATION WILL
THEN MAKE THAT INFORMATION.
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. AND WITH
THAT I'D LIKE MY WITNESS IN
SUPPORT. WHO IS MARQUESA- FINCH
FROM THE F. FIVE COLLECTIVE TO
PRESENT. GOOD EVENING THE
FLOOR'S YOURS THANK YOU GOOD
EVENING MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE- MY NAME IS MARCUS OF
FRENCH I AM A START UP FOUNDER
AND I AM A VENTURE CAPITALIST- I
AM A FOUNDING PARTNER AT THE F.
FIVE COLLECTIVE WHICH IS A FUND
FOCUSED ON FUNDING FEMALE
FOUNDERS. I'M NOT FEMALE
FOUNDERS OF ONE OF THE MOST
UNDER REPRESENTED FOUND FOUNDER
GROUPS IN VENTURE CAPITAL IN THE
ECOSYSTEM YET THEY OUTPERFORM
MALE TEENS FOR SIXTY THREE
PERCENT. SO NOT ONLY DO WE THINK
FUNDING OF WOMEN IS JUST GOOD
FOR SOCIETY GOOD FOR MARKETS BUT
IT'S ALSO A GOOD RETURN ON
INVESTMENT. I'M ALSO THE CEO OF
A COMPANY CAR AND COFOUNDER OF A
OF A COMPANY CALLED PERIOD. WE
ARE A FINTECH FINANCIAL
TECHNOLOGY COMPANY THAT HELPS
DIVERSE ENTREPRENEURS CONNECT
WITH CAPITAL THAT IS AMONGST
THEIR COMMUNITY WITHIN THEIR
COMMUNITY. I WE DO THIS BY
TURNING THEIR COMMUNITY AND
THEIR NETWORK IN TO INVESTORS
THROUGH A PROCESS CALLED EQUITY
CROWDFUNDING I'M AND THIS WAS A
DIRECT RESULT IT'S A PRODUCT
THAT'S A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE
PROBLEM. THAT SENATOR SKINNER'S
PRESENTING TODAY. I'M SO. ASIDE
FROM BEING A VENTURE CAPITALISM
ALSO BAY AREA NATIVE I'M A
TECHNOLOGIST I HOLD A GRADUATE
DEGREE AND A POSTGRADUATE DEGREE
I'VE BUILT TECHNOLOGY FOR ELEVEN
YEARS I'VE BEEN AN INVESTOR FOR
SEVEN YEARS. DESPITE THIS
EXPERIENCE I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS
A LOT OF PROBLEMS RAISING
CAPITAL COMPARED TO MY MALE
COUNTERPARTS FOR MY COFFEE
COUNTERPARTS. FURTHERMORE I FACE
. DOUBTING THE CREDIBILITY
AROUND BEING A BUILDER OF
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS THE
ASSUMPTION IS THAT AS A FEMALE I
SHOULD CREATE PRODUCTS AND
BEAUTY OR FASHION. OR FOOD- AND
BEING AN ENTREPRENEUR IS ALREADY
ESPECIALLY TAX AND FINANCIALLY
PSYCHOLOGICALLY SO THEN TO HAVE
TO BATTLE WHAT SEEMS LIKE A
MILLION AND ONE MISCONCEPTIONS
ABOUT MY ABILITY TO SUCCEED- AND
TO BILL JUST. ADDS TO THE EQUITY
GAP- THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT THE
SUCCESS OF SILICON VALLEY. HAS
BENEFITED CALIFORNIA AND
BENEFITTED CALIFORNIANS. BUT I
WONDER FOR LEAVING SO MANY
ALREADY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. BYE MISTER
SKINNER OTHER OTHER WITNESSES IN

COMMITTEE HEARING ROOM WHICH WAS
TESTIFYING IN A MEET TO. FORM
ANOTHER WORDS COMING MICHAEL

AFFILIATION AND THEIR POSITION

NONE LET'S TURN TO THE PHONE
LINES MODERATOR IF YOU WOULD
QUEUE UP THOSE WHO ARE IN
SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION SB FIFTY
FOUR. IF YOU ARE IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN
ZERO. FIRST WE'LL GO TO LINE OF
THIRTY TWO EIGHTEEN PLEASE GO
AHEAD. HELLO HI YES YOU'RE
YOU'RE ON- HI MY NAME IS SPECIAL
JOHNSON FROM IMAC. DATA THAT
STATE WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE
INVESTIGATORS SB. FIFTY FOUR WE
ARE CURRENTLY IN A MOSTLY BLACK
FOUNDER SO I FOR DIVERSE CITY
ALREADY THINK YOU'RE ANALYST AT.
THANK YOU ALL RIGHT NEXT CALLER
PLEASE. AND AT THIS TIME THERE
ARE NO FURTHER ALL RIGHT LET'S
BRING IT BACK TO COMMITTEE
QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
SELLER S. B. MOVES THE BILL ALL
RIGHT- ALL RIGHT SIR SENATE'S
GONNA DO YOU AYE AYE WE'VE HAD
THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE- AND
I'VE EXPRESSED SOME SUPPORT THE
BILL BUT I'VE EXPRESSED MY
CONCERN THAT THAT WHAT THIS WILL
DO IS SIMPLY BECAUSE INVESTMENT
BANKERS. TO NOT INVEST IN
CALIFORNIA TO INVEST OTHER PLACE
IN THE COUNTRY BECAUSE OF THE
ADDED BURDEN OF INVESTING
CALIFORNIA WANT TO GET YOUR
RESPONSE THAT AND WHAT'S THE
PENALTY WHAT WHAT'S THE
CONSEQUENCE TO. AN INVESTMENT
BANK THAT DOES NOT COMPLY. WELL
I THINK GIVEN THAT WE HAVE MY
EXPERT WITNESS HAS THE DIRECT
EXPERIENCE BOTH AS A FUNDER AND
FOUNDER. DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENT
AS TO WHETHER ARE WE WILL HAVE
VENTURE CAPITAL FIRMS LEAVE. I
THINK THE DISTINCTION THAT IT'S
NOT AN INVESTMENT BANK LIKE
JPMORGAN CHASE THESE ARE VENTURE
CAPITAL FUNDS WHICH ARE VERY
DIFFERENT- AND TO ANSWER YOUR
QUESTION DIRECTLY THE ANSWER IS
THAT. THERE ARE SO MANY
COMPANIES THAT ARE DOMICILED
HERE IN CALIFORNIA TO NOT INVEST
IN A CALIFORNIA COMPANY WOULD BE
TO WIPE OUT VIRTUALLY WIPED OUT
ALL THE VENTURE CAPITAL. I CAN'T
SEE THAT HAPPENING. YOU DON'T
THINK THEY WOULD MOVE TO ANOTHER
STATE NO ABSOLUTELY NOT BECAUSE
THE ECOSYSTEM AND NETWORK IS
HERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH EVERYONE TRYING TO MOVE TO
CALIFORNIA. TO BUILD THEIR START
UP- SO I MEAN I WOULD LOVE FOR
OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY TO
EXPERIENCE WHAT WE EXPERIENCED
THAT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN ANY TIME
SOON. OKAY AND THEN THAT THE
CONSEQUENCE THE SANCTION FOR NOT
COMPLYING. FOR NOT COMPLYING
WITH REGARD WITH THE READING THE
REPORT RIGHT BILL IT'S
COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY TO THE
FOUNDER- SO I KNOW THERE ARE
PRIVACY CONCERNS AROUND DISCLOSE
THAT INFORMATION. BUT THE
VENTURE CAPITAL PROCESS HAS. NO
LESS THAN THREE OR FOUR FACE TO
FACE. DILIGENT'S INTERVIEWS WITH
VENTURE CAPITALIST SO THEY KNOW.
WHO THEY ARE INVESTING IN. RIGHT
AWAY- THE FACT THAT THESE
FOUNDERS WITHIN REPORT SELF
REPORT- AS AN OPTION IT'S
OPTIONAL. AFTER THE TERM SHEETS
COMPLETED MEANING THAT THERE IS
NO BEARING ON WHETHER THEY GET
THE MONEY OR NOT. I CAN'T SEE
THAT BEING TOO MUCH OF A OF A
BURDEN TO THE FOUNDER SO IS THE
COVERED PERSON I THINK IS TO
FIND IN THE BILL DOESN'T REPORT
AS I SAID THERE'S NO SANCTION.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S NOT A SANCTION
AS WE ARE- YOUR WE ARE HOPING
THAT THIS SUNSHINE THAT THERE
WILL BE. LOOK ARE THEY GOING TO
JUMP UP AND DOWN WITH GREAT
EXCITEMENT TO NOT NECESSARILY
BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT KIND
OF PEER PRESSURE. I'M WILL HELP
TO HAVE THEM BE RESPONSIVE. AND
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WHEN YOU TALK
TO THE FIRM'S. OFTENTIMES
THEY'LL THEY'LL SAY WHAT WE'D
LIKE TO INVEST MORE IN WOMEN
OWNED STARTED WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE INVEST MORE BUT WE JUST
DON'T KNOW OF ANY. AND OF
COURSE- WHAT THIS HELPS TO DO IS
. MAKE THOSE CONNECTIONS AND
MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THERE ARE
LOTS OF WOMEN STARTS THERE AND
WERE DESTROYED ENCOURAGE YOU TO
YOU KNOW GO OUT YOUR WAY A
LITTLE MORE TO FIND. ALL RIGHT.
SO DESIRES IT IS BASICALLY A
VOLUNTARY PROGRAM. YES OKAY ALL
RIGHT- NO OTHER QUESTIONS CENTER
ASHLEY'S MOVE THE BILL- WITH
LIKE CLOSE. I'M YES AGAIN THE
INTENT IS THAT WE CAN INCREASE
THAT INVESTMENT BECAUSE WE THINK
IT'S BENEFICIAL. AND JUST TO
YOUR OTHER POINT I HAVE NOT BEEN
TRACKING. THE THE- AMOUNT OF
VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTMENT THAT
HAPPENS IN CALIFORNIA RECENTLY
BUT I USED TO DO REPORTS ON THIS
SUBJECT IN TEN YEARS AGO 54% OF
ALL NORTH AMERICAN VENTURE
CAPITAL WAS INVESTED IN
CALIFORNIA FIRMS. AND MOST OF IT
WAS AT THE VET THAT VENTURE
CAPITAL WAS BASED IN CALIFORNIA
. SO I WAS THROUGHOUT NORTH
AMERICA. OKAY SENATE SECRETARY

THANK YOU COMMIT THAT MATTER
MISTER CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE
MEMBERS IN YOUR PATIENCE TODAY-
I KNOW ALL OF YOU'VE BEEN LIKE
ME AND COMMITTEE SINCE EIGHT
THIRTY THIS MORNING. HIS EXCEPT
THE COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS THAT
DEFINED IN AGGRIEVED PERSON WHO
CAN SUE HAS TO HAVE A NEXUS TO
CALIFORNIA. AND CLEANING UP THE
LANGUAGE IN THE PRIVACY
PROTECTION TO TRACK DEFINITIONS
ELSEWHERE IN THE BILL WHAT SB
THREE FORTY FIVE DOES IS BUILD
UPON THE VERY. EXCELLENT LEGAL
AND OTHER PROTECTIONS THAT WE
ENACTED LAST YEAR WITH THIS
ASSAULT ON OUR REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS AND SPECIFICALLY WHAT
THREE FORTY FIVE DOES AND ALL OF
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT GIVEN
THE- RECENT **** RULINGS BY
TEXAS JUDGE AND OTHER ACTIONS BY
OTHER STATES. IT PROTECTS
PROVIDERS WHO PRESCRIBE OR
DISPENSE MEDICATION AND CARE
THAT IS LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA AND
IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE FOR
PATIENTS REGARDLESS OF WHERE THE
PATIENT IS LOCATED. THIS
CONCEPTS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT
PROTECTS CALIFORNIA'S RIGHT TO
TRAVEL. ATTACKS IT IGNORE ALL
JUST THE FACT THAT WE ARE VERY
MOBILE POPULATION THE CALIFORNIA
STUDENT CAN BE OUT OF STATE BUT
NEEDS HEALTH CARE THEIR PRIMARY
DOCTOR MAYBE HERE. THE PERSON
TRAVELS FOR JOBS SIMON'S CAN BE
OFF ON IT THE NEW PLACE FOR SIX
MONTHS TWO YEARS. OR A- AFTER.
STAYING WITH A FAMILY MEMBER TO
DEAL WITH THEIR CARE FOR JUST
HALF THEIR PRIMARY POSITION
PHYSICIAN. IN THIS STATE. SO. IT
ALLOWS PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS.
TO LIMIT LOG I'LL GET TO THAT
PERIOD IN THE MIDDLE IN A MINUTE
LET ME JUST GO BACK TO THAT
POINT WHICH IS. THAT IT PROVIDES
THOSE PROTECTIONS FOR HEALTH
CARE AND MEDICATIONS THAT ARE
LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA AND
SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE ARE AIMED
AT PROTECTING. HIS MEDICATION
ABORTION AND GENDER AFFIRMING
CARE WHICH ARE TO. LEGAL AND- A
CENTRAL HEALTH CARES THAT ARE
BEING CRIMINALIZED IN OTHER
STATES NOW DIGITALLY SB THREE
FORTY FIVE ALLOWS PATIENTS AND
PROVIDERS TO BRING SUIT AGAINST
ANYONE WHO INTERFERES WITH THEIR
RIGHT. TO RECEIVE OR PROVIDE
THAT ESSENTIAL HEALTH CARE. IT
PROTECTS PATIENTS AND PROVIDERS
IN CALIFORNIA AGAINST
EXTRADITION. AND PROHIBITS ANY
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE OR
CONTRACTOR FROM COOPERATING WITH
OUT OF STATE ENTITIES WHO MAY BE
SEEKING INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH
CARE THAT IS LEGAL HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. I'M SO WITH THAT I'D
LIKE ME WITNESSES DR MICHELLE
GOMEZ WHO'S A FAMILY PHYSICIAN
AND FACULTY MEMBER AT UCSF. AND
DR KELLY PFEIFER WHO IS A FAMILY
DOCTOR IN ABORTION CARE
PROVIDERS. ARE YOU THANK YOU
FLOOR'S YOURS. GOOD EVENING
CHAIR- BURKE IN MEMBERS MY NAME
IS DR MICHELLE GOMEZ AND I'M A
FAMILY DOCTOR AND VOLUNTEER
CLINICAL FACULTY WITH THE UCSF
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE I'VE BEEN
PROVIDING IN TEACHING BOTH
PRIMARY CARE AND ABORTION CARE
FOR TWENTY YEARS. ABORTION IS A
SAFE AND COMMON PROCEDURE SAFER
THAN CARRYING A PREGNANCY TO
TERM WHEN A STATE DENIES AN
ABORTION TO A PERSON WHO SEEKS
ONE THEY DENY THE FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHAT HAPPENS
TO ONE'S OWN BODY. AND THING
CREASE THAT PERSON'S RISK OF
DEATH. I AM GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE
CALIFORNIA HAS DONE TO PROTECT
PATIENTS WHO COME TO CALIFORNIA
AND THE PROVIDERS WHO CARE FOR
THEM BUT WE CAN DO MORE. NOT
EVERYONE WHO LIVES IN A STATE
THE FANS ARE SEVERELY RESTRICTS
ABORTION WILL BE ABLE TO TRAVEL
TO CALIFORNIA TO GET ONE. SOME
PEOPLE CAN'T GET TIME OFF WORK
CAN ARRANGE CHILDCARE MAYBE
UNDOCUMENTED AND UNABLE TO
TRAVEL OR SIMPLY DON'T HAVE AND
CAN'T ACCESS THE FINANCIAL
RESOURCES TO TRAVEL. SOME OF
THESE PATIENTS WILL SEEK
MEDICATION ABORTION VIA
TELEHEALTH WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN
SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. CALIFORNIA
CLINICIANS ARE READY TO STAND UP
AND PROVIDE THIS CARE BECAUSE
THEY VIEW ACCESS TO ABORTION AS
A HUMAN RIGHT. LET ME GIVE YOU
AN EXAMPLE IF THE PATIENT TEXAS
CAN'T LEAVE HER HOME STATE SHE
MAY SEEK A TELEHEALTH ABORTION
FROM A CALIFORNIA PROVIDER.
PROVIDER MAY NOT KNOW THAT THE
PATIENT IS STILL IN TEXAS. UNDER
TEXAS LAW THE PROVIDER COULD BE
FUN PUNISHED WITH LIFE IN PRISON
AND OR A ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR FINE. SB THREE FOUR FIVE
WOULD BUILD ON THE PROTECTIONS
THAT WERE PASSED BY THIS
LEGISLATURE LAST YEAR AND
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS
FOR PROVIDERS. SHIELD LAWS LIKE
SB THREE FORTY FIVE PROVIDE AS
MUCH RESEARCH SURE IT'S AS
POSSIBLE IN A CHALLENGING LEGAL
ENVIRONMENT. AND I WANT TO
ASSURE YOU THAT ABORTION
PROVIDERS AS WELL AS MY
COLLEAGUES TO PROVIDE GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE ACROSS STATE
LINES. ARE WELL AWARE OF THE
LIMITS OF THESE LAWS. MANY LEGAL
ADVOCATES ARE STEPPING FORWARD
TO HELP PROVIDERS ASSESS THEIR
RISKS. FEW PROVIDERS WILL CHOOSE
TO DO THIS WORK AND THEY WILL BE
WELL PREPARED. PROVIDERS FROM
MASSACHUSETTS HAVE ALREADY
STARTED PRESCRIBING UNDER
SIMILAR SHIELD LAW. COLORADO AND
WASHINGTON HAVE PASSED SIMILAR
BILLS THE NEW YORK IS CLOSED.
CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO BE A BRAVE
LEADER IN THIS TRUE PUBLIC
HEALTH CRISIS AND I STRONGLY- A
FAVORABLE VOTE ON THREE FOUR
FIVE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT
WITNESS PLEASE HELLO I'M CARRIE
FIVE FROM A FAMILY JACK ALSO AN
ABORTION PROVIDER FOR TWENTY
FIVE YEARS. I TRAVEL TO RURAL
CALIFORNIA ARIZONA AND ALSO TO
KANSAS YOU'LL REMEMBER KANSAS
WAS THE PLACE THE BELOVED ACTOR
TAYLOR WAS MURDERED IN HIS
CHURCH. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE
THERE'S NOT A LOT OF LOCAL
DOCTORS LIVING IN KANSAS WINDOW
DO ABORTIONS IN KANSAS. SO
CLINICS RELY ON FLYING DOCTORS
LIKE ME. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP
OF THE U. S. OF MOST OF THE
MIDWEST AND THE SOUTH HAS
ABORTION BANS. IN RESPONSE TO
THE FLOOD OF PEOPLE COMING TO
KANSAS I STARTED A MEDICATION
ABORTION WHICH TIME JANUARY. AND
MS- RECRUITED TEN CALIFORNIA
DOCTORS TO JOIN ME WE FLY OUT
THERE. AND WE SEE PATIENTS FOR
MEDICATION ABORTION WE IN OUR
CLINIC WE GIVE A MESSAGE NOW
MIFEPRISTONE THE ABORTION PILL.
AND THEN THEY TAKE MESOPROSTIL
HOME WITH THEM THE FOLLOWING
DAY. ACCORDING TO KANSAS LINE
CALIFORNIA THAT LAW THAT
ABORTIONS DONE LEGALLY IN KANSAS
AND WE'RE ENTIRELY WITHIN THE
LAW. BUT I'M AWARE THAT A
PATIENT'S ANGRY EX HUSBAND OR
NOSY NEIGHBOR MAY SEE IT
DIFFERENTLY. I LIVE I WAS BORN
IN CALIFORNIA I LIVE IN
CALIFORNIA I'M LICENSED IN
CALIFORNIA MOST OF MY DAYS ARE
SPENT HERE. I TRAVEL TO KANSAS
AND ARIZONA BECAUSE I DON'T
BELIEVE MY RESPONSIBILITY. ENDS
AT TAKING CARE OF CALIFORNIANS.
I THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS IN
MANY KEPT CLINICIANS LIKE MYSELF
FOR STEPPING UP TO ANSWER THE
CALL TO HELP OUTSIDE OUR STATE
BORDERS WE KNOW THE SHORTAGE OF
ABORTION PROVIDERS IS GOING TO
GET WORSE. SO THE DOCTORS I
RECRUITED THE CALIFORNIANS WE
KNOW WE'RE TAKING A RISK AND WE
NEED ALL THE PROTECTIONS AS LAW
CAN GIVE. CALIFORNIA PRIDES
ITSELF ON BEING AN ACCESS STATE.
WE CAN'T HONESTLY CLAIM THAT
TITLE IF WE ONLY HELP PEOPLE
WITH THE MEANS TO GET TO
CALIFORNIA. IF WE'RE NOT DOING
EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER. TO
PROTECT CALIFORNIA'S ABORTION
PROVIDERS. SB THREE FORTY FIVE
WOULD ADD ADDITIONAL.
PROTECTIONS ARE NOT CURRENTLY A
LAW. I KNOW THAT NO CAN. LAW
COMPARED. ME FROM. ACTIONS FROM
OTHER STATES. I KNOW THAT.
CALIFORNIA CAN'T PROTECT ME WHEN
I'M NOT PHYSICALLY IN
CALIFORNIA. BUT I NEED MY HOME
STATE TO NOT COOPERATE. WITH
HOSTILE ACTIONS IF THEY HAPPEN
IN TEXAS. WHEN I'M IN CALIFORNIA
ANY CALIFORNIA PROTECTIONS. THE
THREATS TO ACCESS GOING TO GET
WORSE AND NOT BETTER. AND MORE

OF MY KEY- WITNESSES HAD TO
LEAVE IT'S BASICALLY TRYING TO
MAKE IT MORE TRANSPARENT WHEN
YOU GO TO BY ANY V. THAT THE
DEALER. I LITERALLY SHOWS YOU
THE ACTUAL MAN U. S.
MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED RETAIL
PRICE WHAT WE'VE NOTICED IS THAT
WITH THE- VERY GENEROUS TAX
REBATES BOTH OFFERED BY THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT THERE
ARE SOME. DEALERS THAT ARE- IN
FACT RAISING THE PRICES. AND
NAFTA BUT WELL ABOVE I MEAN IT'S
ALWAYS THE RIGHT FOR A DEALER TO
RAISE THE PRICE ABOVE THE
MANUFACTURED- THE MSRP. BUT TO
DO SO IN A WAY THAT SEEMS REALLY
TO CAPTURE THE REBATES AND THEN
TO- SAY WELL YES BUT THEN YOU
GET THIS DISCOUNT BY THESE
REBATES. SO THE BILL'S FIRST
INTENTION WAS TO DO MORE BUT
THAT'S OKAY IT'S A TRANSPARENCY
MEASURE NOW AND I WILL ACCEPT
THOSE AMENDMENTS AND LET ME HAVE

EVERYONE WHO IS HERE IN THE
AUDIENCE WITH US THIS EVENING-
IT HAS BEEN A LONG DAY. WE'RE
SAVING THE BEST- UPPERS ARE ONE
OF A START BY. LETTING YOU KNOW
MISTER CHAIR THAT I WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR WORKING
WITH OUR TEAM WE ARE ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENTS. OFFERED IN THE
ANALYSIS- AND YES THINK YOUR-
TEAM SO MUCH FOR THEIR SUPPORT.
I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT S. B.
FOUR NINETY SEVEN WHICH WOULD
HELP ENSURE WORKERS. BRAVE
ENOUGH TO REPORT VIOLATIONS WILL
VIOLATIONS OF LABOR CODE OR
EQUAL PAY ACT. ARE PROTECTED
FROM RETALIATION BY THEIR
EMPLOYER. CALIFORNIA HAS SOME OF
THE STRONGEST. WORKPLACE IN
EQUAL PAY PROTECTIONS IN THE
COUNTRY. HOWEVER OUR STRONG
WORKPLACE PROTECTIONS ARE
MEANINGLESS IF WORKERS ARE TOO
AFRAID TO SPEAK UP. TO AFRAID.
TO CALL THEIR RIGHTS TO PROTECT
THEM. CALIFORNIA'S LAWS DO
PROHIBIT EMPLOYERS FROM
RETALIATING AGAINST A WORKER
EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS HOWEVER
THE LABOR COMMISSIONER IS UNABLE
TO PROSECUTE MANY RETALIATION
COMPLAINT COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS.
BECAUSE IT IS DIFFICULT FOR
WORKERS TO SHOW THAT THE
EMPLOYER TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE
EMPLOYEE SPECIFICALLY IN
RESPONSE TO THEIR REPORTING OF
THE LABOR VIOLATION A RECENT
POLL BY THE NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT.
LAW PROJECT. FOUND THAT 38% OF
CALIFORNIA WORKERS HAVE
EXPERIENCED A VIOLATION OF THEIR
WORKPLACE RIGHTS. BUT ONLY 10%
OF THOSE WORKERS REPORTED THE
VIOLATIONS TO A GOVERNMENT
AGENCY. THAT MEANS THERE'S A
HUGE GAP. AND WORKERS ARE NOT
BEING ABLE TO TAKE FULL
ADVANTAGE OF THEIR PROTECTIONS
AS BEFORE NINETY SEVEN WOULD
PROVIDE REAL PROTECTIONS FOR
THESE WORKERS BY BRICK CREATING
A REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION. THAT
AN ACTION TAKEN AGAINST AN
EMPLOYEE WAS RETALIATORY AND IF
IT OCCURRED WITHIN NINETY DAYS
OF THE EMPLOYEE REPORTING A
VIOLATION THIS KIND REBUTTABLE
PRESUMPTION ALREADY EXISTS. IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE LABOR CODE IS
WORKING WELL TO PROTECT WORKERS
FROM IMMIGRATION RELATED
RETALIATION SUCH AS THREATS OF
DEPORTATION. IN RETALIATION FOR
THE USE OF SICK LEAVE. ADDING
THIS PROTECTION TO THE LABOR
CODE VIOLATIONS WILL ALLOW THE
LABOR COMMISSIONER TO IDENTIFY
RETALIATION MORE QUICKLY AND
PREVENT LAW BREAKING EMPLOYERS
FROM AVOIDING ACCOUNTABILITY. I
HAVE WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT. RUTH WITH THE
CALIFORNIA COALITION FOR WORKER
PROTECTION. AND RESIDE RIVAS A
SUBWAY WORKER AND A MEMBER OF
TOP OF THE ORDER IS UNITED IN
SAN FRANCISCO. AND I ASKED THEM.
TO GO RIGHT AHEAD THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ALL RIGHT TWO MINUTES EACH
GO AHEAD GOOD EVENING SENATORS
AT THE CLINICS I SUPERVISE I
HEAR FROM WORKERS ALL THE TIME
WHO EXPERIENCE RETALIATION AFTER
SPEAKING UP ABOUT WORKPLACE
VIOLATIONS. YET RETALIATION
CASES ARE NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT
TO PROVE THIS FACT IS BORNE OUT
BY LABOR COMMISSION STATISTICS
FROM TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY
TWENTY TO ABOUT 90% OF
RETALIATION COMPLAINTS. WERE
DISMISSED LARGELY BECAUSE IT'S
OFTEN IMPOSSIBLE FOR A WORKER TO
SHOW THE EMPLOYERS RETALIATORY
INTENT FOR EXAMPLE IN ONE CASE I
HAD THE WORKER WAS FIRED SEVERAL
WEEKS AFTER MAKING A COMPLAINT
ABOUT NOT RECEIVING OVERTIME
PAY. THE EMPLOYER GAVE HIM NO
EXPLANATION THEY JUST STOP
PUTTING HIM ON THE SCHEDULE IN
THIS CASE IT WOULD BE NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE WORKER TO
PRODUCE EVIDENCE TO SHOW HE WAS
TERMINATED BECAUSE HE COMPLAINED
ABOUT HIS PAYCHECK. THIS
EVIDENCE TO SHOW THE IMPORTERS
TRUE STATE OF MIND MOST LIKELY
DOES NOT EXIST HOWEVER IF THE
EMPLOYER HAD A LEGITIMATE NON
RETALIATORY REASONS FOR
TERMINATING THIS WORKER THE
EMPLOYER WOULD BE ABLE TO
PRODUCE THIS EVIDENCE THAT IS
WHY IT IS MORE APPROPRIATE IN
THESE CASES. FOR THE BURDEN
SHOULD BE ON THE EMPLOYER
BECAUSE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO ALL
OF THE DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION
REGARDING. CHAU ALLEGED OF THAT
NON RETALIATORY REASONS FOR THE
ADVERSE ACTION THE BURDEN SHIFTS
BACK TO THE WORKER AND IT IS
STILL ULTIMATELY THE WORKERS
BURDEN TO PROVE THAT IT WAS
RETALIATION. THAT BECAUSE THE
ADVERSE ACTION NINETY DAY
REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTIONS ARE
KNOCKED OUR PLAYERS THE
EXISTENCE SEVERAL OTHER LABOR
CODE PROVISIONS AS YOU'VE HEARD.
SB FOUR NINETY SEVEN IS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'LL JUST
CHECK DO YOU TERM RETALIATION
MAKE IT MORE REALISTIC FOR
WORKERS TO PROVE RETALIATION AND
ENSURE CONSISTENCY. AND THE
LABOR CODE THANK YOU. THANK YOU
ALL RIGHT NEXT. WHEN I SAW THIS
NUMBER IF YOU SEE REQUEST GOOD
ON THAT THREAT ON YOU YOU MAY BE
RIGHT ABOUT HOW THE IT'S ALWAYS
STORE IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND I
ONLY GOT A HUNDRED AND IF AT THE
END THAT BUT HONESTLY VLS

THREE NINE BUT HIT THE BUTTON
THAT. PROTECTS UNANIMOUS SUPPORT
THIS CONTROLLER PRESS HOW DEATH.
IN CALIFORNIA. AND I WILL
TRANSLATE SO MY NAME IS EASY
LEAVE US FOR THE PAST THREE AND
A HALF YEARS I WORKED AT A
SUBWAY RESTAURANT IN SAN
FRANCISCO. I WAS THE ONLY WORKER
BUT DIDN'T RECEIVE ALL MY TIPS I
ALSO WORKED TEN HOURS EACH DAY
WITHOUT OVERTIME AND COULDN'T
TAKE ANY BREAKS. THE OWNER AND I
WERE REALLY GOOD FRIENDS SO MUCH
THAT SHE'D CALL ME HER
SUPERWOMAN. UNTIL A FEW MONTHS
AGO WHEN I ASKED HER WHY I
WASN'T RECEIVING MY FULL TIPS.
SOON AFTER SHE STARTED TO CHANGE
MY WORK HOURS. EVEN THOUGH SHE
KNEW I COULDN'T WORK AT NIGHT
BECAUSE I HAD ANOTHER JOB. THEN
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS GOING TO
REDUCE MY PAY TO MINIMUM WAGE. I
BECAME WORRIED BECAUSE IT'S
REALLY EXPENSIVE WHERE I LIVE.
AND I WOULD NO LONGER BE ABLE TO
AFFORD MY RENT OR SUPPORT MY
FAMILY. ASKING WHAT THE MOTHER.
WITH THE HELP OF THEIR HAZARDOUS
ONLY THOSE WORKERS UNITED. I
BEGAN TO TALK TO MY COWORKERS
FROM OTHER SUBWAYS OWNED BY THE
SAME OWNER. TO SEE IF THEY WERE
EXPERIENCING THE SAME LABOR
VIOLATIONS. THE NEXT DAY MY BOSS
FIRED ME SAYING I HAD NO RIGHT
TO SPEAK TO HER EMPLOYEES. MY
SITUATION WAS UNIQUE BECAUSE I
HAD IT WORK IT UNITED UNITED
FIGHTING WITH ME TO GET MY JOB
BACK. MOST WORKERS FACE
RETALIATION ALONE. IF WE WANT
PEOPLE TO SPEAK UP ABOUT. LABOR
VIOLATIONS THEY HAVE TO KNOW
THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS
THEIR BACK. THAT'S WHY I'M
ASKING YOU TO ADVANCE AS BEFORE
NINETY SEVEN FOR STRONGER
PROTECTIONS. AGAINST RETALIATION
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OTHER
OPPOSITION. ANYONE OPPOSITE.
PLEASE COME FORWARD. GOOD
EVENING. CHAIRMAN ACT HALF AN
HOUR BEHALF OF. CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE IN RESPECT OPPOSITION.
I WANT TO BE VERY VERY CLEAR WE
DO NOT CONDONE EVENTS LIKE THE
ONE YOU JUST HEARD. TODAY AND
ABSOLUTELY- FIND THAT BEHAVIOR
UNACCEPTABLE AND WHAT WE ARE HE
REALLY HEAR ABOUT TODAY IS.
TEMPORAL PROXIMITY IS ALREADY
SOMETHING THAT COURTS TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT IF YOU HAD A SITUATION
WHERE A COMPLAINT WAS MADE. THE
PERSON WAS TERMINATED THE NEXT
DAY I THINK YOU'D BE VERY HARD
PRESSED TO FIND ANY CALIFORNIA
STATE COURT. THAT WOULD DENY
THAT THE CAT. PLAINTIFFS HAD
SETTLED THEIR BERMAN- WHAT OUR
CONCERN IS WHEN YOU START
GETTING OUT TO SIXTEEN NINETY
DAYS THAT'S WHEN JUDGES TEND TO
ALSO LOOK AT. OTHER
CIRCUMSTANCES TO TALLY OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES. WAS THERE AN
INTERVENING EVENT TO KNOW WHAT
WAS THE PATTERN OF CONDUCT WAS
THIS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TO
OTHER WORKERS. WHO DID NOT FILE
A COMPLAINT. I'M SO REALLY
COURTS ARE ALREADY TAKING THIS
INTO ACCOUNT. AND OUR CONCERN IS
THAT THIS PRESIDENT IS THAT
THESE PRESUMPTIONS ARE STARTING
TO BE INSERTED INTO EVERY BILL.
AND THERE'S A BILL LAST YEAR FOR
EXAMPLE THAT INSERTED A
PRESUMPTION THAT IF ANY
DISCIPLINARY ACTION TOOK PLACE.
I'M A WITHIN AN ENTIRE UNION
CAMPAIGN BE MONTHS ON END- UP TO
EAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE MORE

YOU AGAIN MISTER CHAIR- AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND AGAIN I
WANT TO APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE
STAFFER WORKING WITH OUR TEAM ON
THIS AND I'M I AM ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS. I'M PLEASED TO
PRESENT SB EIGHT OH NINE WHICH
BILLS ON THE FAIR CHANCE ACT OF
TWO THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN TO
FURTHER THE OPPORTUNITIES IN
PROTECTIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH
CONVICTION HISTORY TO ATTAIN AND
MAINTAIN EMPLOYMENT. THE FAIR
CHANCE ACT PROHIBITED A NUMBER
OF EMPLOYERS FROM USING CRIMINAL
BACKGROUND CHECKS IN EXCESS
SEEING WHETHER. OR NOT THE
CANDIDATE WAS QUALIFIED FOR
EMPLOYMENT IT ALSO EXEMPTED
SEVERAL EMPLOYERS AND JOB
CLASSIFICATIONS FROM THE
PROHIBITION IN CASES WHERE IT
WAS RELEVANT TO KEEP BACKGROUND
CHECKS FOR EMPLOYEES.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE STILL
MANY JOBS THAT DO REQUIRE
BACKGROUND CHECKS AND EMPLOYERS
WHO WERE NOT EXEMPTED FROM THE
FAIR CHANCE ACT. THAT CONTINUE
BE UNLESS THEY'RE UNNECESSARILY
A DIFFICULT. PROCESS OF
BACKGROUND CHECKS AND USING
THEM- AS AN EXCUSE TO NOT HIRE
OTHERWISE QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
THERE ARE OVER SEVEN MILLION
CALIFORNIANS SEVEN MILLION
CALIFORNIANS WITH CONVICTION
HISTORIES. ON TOP OF THAT
ROUGHLY 60% OF CALIFORNIA'S
FORMERLY INCARCERATED POPULATION
IS CURRENTLY JOBLESS. AND MANY
OF THEM ARE EITHER HOMELESS OR
FACING HOUSING INSECURITY. A
RECENT STUDY BY THE JUSTICE
POLICY CENTER SHOWED THAT
EMPLOYMENT AFTER INCARCERATION
IS KEY TO PREVENTING RECIDIVISM
AND REBUILDING SOCIAL NETWORKS
THAT PROVIDE STABILITY INTO
TURKEY CRIMINAL ACTIVITY AND I
JUST WANT TO SAY I WAS WE WERE-
SENATOR. LATER TONIGHT OR ON THE
RULES COMMITTEE AND WE HAD THE
PAROLE BOARD COME BEFORE US AND
THEY REMARKED THAT NGUYEN IN A
CAR SERRATED PERSON HAS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO FIND A JOB IN
THAT THAT IS PART OF THEIR
RELEASE PLANNED- THEY HAVE A 93%
ANTI RECIDIVISM RATE. ABOUT
PAROLE BOARD WHEN THERE IS A JOB
93% ANTI RECIDIVISM RATE. SO
MORE SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL
EXPANDS THE TYPES AND THE NUMBER
OF EMPLOYERS WHO ARE SUBJECT TO
THE FAIR CHANCE ACT ENSURING
MORE APPLICANTS ARE PROTECTED
WHEN APPLYING TO MORE JOBS IT
CREATES NEW PROCEDURAL
PROTECTIONS FOR APPLICANTS WITH
CONVICTIONS TO ENSURE THAT
EMPLOYERS DO NOT CIRCUMVENT
EXISTING RULES IN ATTEMPTS TO
DENY THEM THE OPPORTUNITY. TO
APPLY IN INTERVIEW WITHOUT
DISCRIMINATION THIS BILL
ADDITIONALLY INTRODUCES
PROTECTIONS FOR EXISTING
EMPLOYEES FROM DISCRIMINATION
BASED ON THEIR CONVICTION
HISTORY. AND LASTLY THIS BILL
CREATES NEW CIVIL ENFORCEMENT
VIGOROUS ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS
TO EMPOWER THE CIVIL RIGHTS
DIVISION TO ENFORCE THE FAIR
CHANCE ACT INTO TURN EMPLOYERS
FROM VIOLATING THE LAW. WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IS THAT GO TA
KLAAS FROM BRUTON REBOUND WILL
PROVIDE A SHORT TESTIMONY AND BE
ABLE TO ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE AND
ALSO- JOINING IS. GANTRY FROM
UNDERGROUND SCHOLARS WHO HAS
BENEFITED FROM THE ORIGINAL FAIR
TRAP CHANCE ACTING CAN SPEAK TO
THE BENEFITS OF EXPANDING IT ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GO
AHEAD. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
ZACHARY GO TO CLOSE A STAFF
ATTORNEY RUBERY DOWN ON ONE OF
THE CO SPONSORS OF SB EIGHT OH
NINE. THE FAIR CHANCE THAT
COALITION IS AN UNORGANIZED A
GROUP OF ORGANIZATIONS
SUPPORTING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
ACROSS CALIFORNIA FACING LEGAL
BERRIES IN REBUILDING THEIR
LIVES AFTER CONVICTION. AMONG
THE MOST COMMON ISSUES OUR
CLIENTS FACE IS FINDING RELIABLE
AND SIMPLE WORK. THIS BILL
RECOGNIZES THE POSITIVE START
THAT THE LEGISLATURE TOOK IN THE
FAIR CHANCE ACT OF TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN. BUT ALSO REACTS TO
THE CONTINUED REALITY THAT EVERY
DAY PLEASE CONVICTION IS TREATED
AS CRIMINALS AGAINST. WELL IF I
JOB APPLICANTS WITH NO
JUSTIFICATION. WE MUST BEGIN TO
FUNDAMENTALLY RETHINK THE WAY WE
LIMIT PEOPLE AFTER CONVICTION.
WE WANT TO ENSURE CALIFORNIA'S
FUTURE IS ONE OF SAFETY AND
DIGNITY FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS
THIS BUDGET THIS BILL IS A STEP
IN THAT DIRECTION. I WHEN I
RECOGNIZE THAT WE WORKED WITH-
OPPOSITION ON THIS- SENSOR- THE
IT'S BEEN LISTED AND THAT- WE
DONE SO SUCCESSFULLY. AND I'M
HAPPY TO ANSWER IT ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS AND I'D LIKE TO YIELD
THE REMAINDER OF MY TIME TO ERIC
GENTRY RT THANK YOU MISTER
GENTRY. I THANK YOU GOT GOOD
EVENING CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS ERIC GENTRY
WITH THE UNDERGROUND SCHOLARS
INITIATIVE AT UC BERKELEY. IN
OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN I
APPLIED FOR THE COMMUNITY HEALTH
WORKER ONE POSITION BUT THE
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY'S. HEALTH
SERVICES DEPARTMENT THIS WAS AN
ENTRY LEVEL POSITION REQUIRING
THE APPLICANTS HAVE A HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENT. AT
SIX MONTHS OUTRAGE EXPERIENCE. I
WAS APPLYING WITH A BACHELORS
DEGREE IN SOCIOLOGY AND NEARLY
TWO YEARS EXPERIENCE AS AN
OUTREACH CASE MANAGER. I SCORED
A NINETY EIGHT ON THE
SUPPLEMENTAL SCREENING
EVALUATION. AND WAS PLACED AT
THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR AN
INTERVIEW WHICH WAS SCHEDULED IN
NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN.
ALTHOUGH I'VE TO FELONY
CONVICTIONS ON MY RECORD. I FELT
THAT I FINALLY HAD A CHANCE AT A
CAREER WITH UPWARD MOBILITY. I
WAS ON THE SPEECH AND DEBATE
TEAM WHILE THE IN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. AND WON STATE GOLD FOR
MY PERSUASION SPEECH ON BAN THE
BOX. I WAS NOW LIVING MY
RESEARCH. I EXCITEDLY WENT TO
THE INTERVIEW. AND HIT A HOMER
WITH EVERY QUESTION. I FELT LIKE
I HAD THE JOB WHEN I LEFT THE
BUILDING AND THEY AGREED.
BECAUSE ON NOVEMBER TWENTY
SECOND TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN I
RECEIVED MY CONTINUE JOB OFFER
WITH NEXT STEPS. THIS INCLUDED
COMPLETING A LIVE SCAN OF THE
COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE.
ALTHOUGH I WAS JUST OVER FIVE
YEARS POST CONVICTION I FELT
THAT THIS NEW LAW WAS GIVEN ME
HOPE. SO MUCH SO THAT I DID NOT
MENTION THAT I WAS FORMALLY
INCARCERATED AT ANY TIME DURING
THE INTERVIEW. I KNEW THAT THE
FINGERPRINTING PROCESS WAS GOING
TO TAKE ABOUT TWO MONTHS I FELT
OTHER BACKGROUND CHECKS PRIOR TO
THIS LAW. BUT THIS TIME I WOULD
NOW TAKE ME TO THE NEW YEAR WITH
NEW OPPORTUNITIES. I WAS
DEVASTATED WHEN I RECEIVED THE
DENIAL LETTER IN THE MAIL.
CRASHED AT MY CONVICTION
HISTORIES WERE BARRING ME FROM
THAT THIS DREAM OPPORTUNITY. I
MUST HAVE READ THAT LETTER
TWENTY TIMES AND NEVER DID IT
SPECIFY WHAT MY RECORD PREVENTED
ME FROM BEING EMPLOYED. IT DID
PROVIDE ME WITH FIVE BUSINESS
DAYS TO RESPOND. BUT I QUESTION
THE POINT OF IT WHY SUBJECT
MYSELF TO HUMILIATION ONLY TO BE
LET DOWN AGAIN. FOR A JOB THAT
PAID LESS THAN I CURRENTLY DID
OF THE NONPROFIT. I WHY I WOULD
FIGHT FOR A JOB THAT DID NOT
WANT ME THERE IN THE FIRST
PLACE. WHICH REALLY MADE ME
QUESTION MY SELF WORTH. DON'T
GET ME WRONG BAN THE BOX IS AN
IMPORTANT FIRST STEP FOR PEOPLE
LIKE ME WE CONDITION TO BE ABLE
TO GET THEIR FOOT ALL RIGHT WITH
A DRINK YOU MISTER GENTRY. WHAT
I SUPPORT SB EIGHT ON I HAD A
FEW MORE PARAGRAPHS BUT- I TRY
TO RUSH THROUGH THANK YOU. WE I
THINK WE GOT IT OKAY. ALL RIGHT
- OPPOSE THOSE WHO OPPOSE PLEASE
APPROACH THE MICROPHONE. YOU'VE
OBVIOUSLY JOIN DRAWN THE SHORT
STRAW FROM THE CHAMBER. YEAH SO.
I WRITE. WHAT I GET FOR TAKING
THE LABOR PER. RIGHT GO AHEAD
ALL RIGHT. SO I WANT TO THINK OF
THE AUTHOR AND THE COMMITTEE-
FOR WORKING ON THE AMENDMENTS ON
THE BILL WE REALLY APPRECIATE- I
THINK THE BILL. HAS ADDRESSED A
LOT OF OUR CONCERNS- WE DO HAVE
SOME OUTSTANDING CONCERNS I KNOW
I THINK. A LOT. THAT CAN BE READ
OUR TIME A LITTLE BIT TOO- BUT
WANT TO JUST ADDRESS A FEW KIND
OF TECHNICAL THINGS IN THE BILL-
THE FIRST IS- THERE'S A PORTION
OF THE BILL THAT SAYS WE WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO CONSIDER ANY
INFORMATION LEARNED FROM SOCIAL
MEDIA THE INTERNET FOR. ANY
OTHERS- AND IT'S ONLY LIMITED.
TO YOU KNOW BEFORE A CONDITIONAL
OFFER THE WEARER IT WOULD BE.
GOING TO OFF WITHIN IT SHOULD
FALL IF WE LEARN IT FROM ANOTHER
SOURCE WE SHOULD FALL UNDER THE
SAME INDIVIDUALIZED ASSESSMENT
PROCESS- SECONDS- DOCUMENTATION
FOR INACCURACIES AND A
BACKGROUND CHECK REPORT.
ACCORDING TO THE BILL AND IF A
APPLICANT- DISAGREED WITH THE
RESULTS OF THE REPORT- BUT
FAILED TO PRESENT ANY SORT OF
EVIDENCE OR ANYTHING TO CONFIRM
THAT AN ACCURACY- BUT WE WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO CONSIDER THE FACT
THAT THEY FAILED TO DO SO ALL IT
WOULD HAVE TO DO IS SAY IT'S
INACCURATE AND THEN. THERE'S
NOTHING WE CAN DO IT WE WOULD
HAVE TO BASICALLY THROUGHOUT THE
REPORT IS MY UNDERSTANDING- I'M
HONORED FORSMAN ABSOLUTELY NO
ISSUE WITH GIVING C. R. D. SOME
ENFORCEMENT POWER. OUR CONCERN
IS REALLY SOME OF THE PENALTIES
JUST GIVEN THE DENSITY OF THE
BILL AND A LOT OF THE TECHNICAL-
REQUIREMENTS IN HERE THE ANY
VIOLATION COULD TRIGGER QUITE A
HIGH PENALTY- AND THEN FOURTH-
THERE'S A PRESUMPTION. THAT WE
SHOULD HIRE IT APPLICANT IF THEY
COME. A SENTENCE FOR THE CRIME
RECEIVED A LIFE. OR WE BELIEVE
THE SHOULD BECAUSE- IN THE END
OF. AS A- NOT THE SUB OF A
PRESS. LOOK FOR TO CONTINUE TO.
WITH THE AUTHOR SOMETHING YOU.

OKAY HELLO GOOD EVENING TERENCE
MANY MEMBERS MY NAME IS SYLVIA
ROMANO AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE WOMEN'S FOUNDATION OF
CALIFORNIA SO POLICY INSTITUTE A
PROUD SPONSOR OF SB FIVE TWENTY
ONE. THE BILL ADDRESSES THE NEED
TO STRENGTHEN PROTECTIONS FOR
STUDENT PARENTS IN THE CAL WORKS
IN COLOR PROGRAMS WHEN FACING
PENALTIES UP TO THE RISK OF
LOSING FUNDS TO PURSUE THEIR
EDUCATION- CAL WORKING
CALIFORNIA'S YOU KNOW OUR KEY
PROGRAM TO CALIFORNIA'S SAFETY
NET. AND BOTH CURRENTLY IMPOSE
SANCTIONS THAT PENALIZE STUDENT
PARENTS FOR NOT MEETING PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS WHICH REDUCES THEIR
MONTHLY GRANTS. OF FIVE TWENTY
WILL PROTECT PREGNANT PARENTING
ELECTED IN STUDENTS FROM
SANCTIONS UNDER CALL WORKS FOR
PROVIDING GOOD BECAUSE IN THE
INSTANCE WHEN THEIR TITLE NINE
RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED AFTER
ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS. WE'VE
HEARD FROM HELL WORKS STUDENT
PARENTS ACROSS THE STATE THAT
THEY ARE OFTEN NOT ADEQUATELY
ACCOMMODATED UNDER TITLE NINE.
AND THIS CAN PREVENT THEM FROM
MEETING THE WORK HOURS ENTER CAL
WORKS LEADING TO SANCTIONS FOR
EXAMPLE A NURSING STUDENT ON CAL
WORKS REPORTED THAT SHE WAS ONLY
ALLOWED FIVE MINUTE BREAKS TO
PUMP BREAST MILK IF SHE DID NOT
RETURN WITHIN THIS TIME. SHE
RISK BEING KICKED OUT OF HER
PROGRAM WHAT A GREAT SUFFERED
BECAUSE OF THE COULD INCREASE
PARENTAL DUTIES AND INABILITY TO
MAKE UP. WORK SHE ULTIMATELY
DROPPED OUT OF THE PROGRAM. I
CAN NUYS IN THIS R. S. FIVE
TWENTY ONE. TO PROVIDE COULD
CALL FOR POWER STUDENT. THAT
EXCUSE THEM FOR PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS WHEN THEY FACE A
DENIAL OF THESE ACCOMMODATIONS.
IT ALSO ELIMINATES SANCTIONS FOR
PARENTING TEENS IN MACAU LEARN
PROGRAM EXTENDS THE
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COULD EXEMPT
THEM FROM THE PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS. WHEN FACING A
DESTABILIZING ABOUT LIKE
HOMELESSNESS. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
OR UNMET BEHAVIORAL MENTAL
HEALTH NEEDS. THE STATE WAS NOT
OVERLOOKED A STUDENT PARENT
POPULATION. DATA SHOWS ABOUT
ACROSS ALL CAL WORKS FAMILIES
SIXTY THOUSAND CHILDREN EVERY
MONTH THERE PUSH DEEPER INTO
POVERTY DUE TO SANCTIONS. AT
LEAST ONE IN FIVE COLLEGE
STUDENTS IS A- IS PARENTING A
CHILD. AND 62% OF CAL WORKS
PARENTS HAVE A CHILD UNDER SIX.
TWO THIRDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN ACADEMIC YOUR

COLOR COMPOUNDING THE ECONOMIC
AND SOCIAL CHALLENGES THESE
RESIDENTS ALREADY FACE AND
FURTHER MORE. THE WORKERS WHO
ARE FACED WITH JOB LOSS IN NEED
TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT. OR
UTILIZE OTHER SERVICES TO HELP
WITH FINANCIAL AND SECURITY THE
COST OF THE STORE'S CLOSURE IS
EFFECTIVELY PASSED ON TO THE
CALIFORNIA TAX PAYER. SB SIX TO
SEVEN WILL HELP ENSURE WORKERS
LIVES AREN'T COMPLETELY UP ENDED
WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR JOB DUE TO
STORE CLOSURES BECAUSE THEY WILL
BE SAFE THE THERE WILL BE A
SAFETY NET AND THEY WILL BE-
SAFELY BE ABLE TO AFFORD. THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE WORKING
AND PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND
THEIR COMMUNITIES I WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IS SERRA FLOCK. BLOCKS
WITH THE CALIFORNIA LABOR
FEDERATION THE SPONSOR OF THIS
BILL. THANK YOU FLOOR'S YOURS.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBER SARAH FLOCKS
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION-
THIS BILL HAS A PROVEN TRACK
RECORD UNDER VERY SIMILAR LAWS
LIKE IT- ONE OF THEM IS EVEN THE
PAPER THAT- FEDERAL- PAYCHECK
PROTECTION ACT WHICH WAS
DESIGNED BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. TO KEEP WORKERS
CONNECTED TO WORK TO PREVENT
LONG TERM UNEMPLOYMENT- AND
INSURE THAT THERE'S OF FAST
ECONOMIC RECOVERY WHEN THERE'S
AN ECONOMIC DOWNTURN THIS TAKES
THE SAME IDEA IT TAKES THE SAME
IDEA AS THE EXISTING HOSPITALITY
WORKER. RECALL RIGHTS BY SAYING
IF THERE IS A CLOSURE AND A
CLOSURE FOR ANY REASON A NON
DISCIPLINARY CLOSURE THAT
WORKERS AT THAT STORE HAVE THE
RIGHT TO TRANSFER TO A STOP
STORE WITHIN OF THE SAME BRAND
OF THE SAME CHAIN WITHIN TWENTY
FIVE MILES. M. I THINK THE
ANALYSIS DID A GREAT JOB OF
LAYING OUT THE QUESTION. IF A
WORKER IS TRAINED IN MAKING I
THINK IT WAS VOTE MILK LATTE IS
AT A STARBUCKS. WELL AND THAT'S
STORE CLOSES IT ONLY MAKES SENSE
FOR THE EMPLOYER TO TAKE THAT
TRAIN WORKER HIRED THEM AT AN
EXISTING STORE SAVE ON TRAINING
COSTS SAVE ON RECRUITMENT AND
HAVE SOMEONE WHO'S READY TO HIT
THE GROUND RUNNING. SO WE THINK
THIS IS A TO A BILL THAT MAKES A
LOT OF SENSE FOR WORKERS AS WELL
AS BUSINESS AND THE ACCOUNT
LOCAL ECONOMIES. URGE YOUR
SUPPORT THANK YOU THANK YOU
OTHER PRIMARY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT. SAYING NO ONE APPROACH
TO MY PHONE LET'S TURNED
OPPOSITION. GOOD EVENING TURN
MEMBERS MY NAME'S RANDALL LANE
AND I'M THE DIRECTOR OF
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS FOR THE
CALIFORNIA RETAILERS ASSOCIATION
FOR SPEAKING RESPECTFUL
POSITIONS SB SIX TO SEVEN-
RETAILERS ALONG WITH MANY OTHER
INDUSTRIES HAVE BEEN DEALING
WITH LIMITED WORKFORCE IN RECENT
YEARS AND TRYING TO HIRE NEW
WORKERS HAS BEEN DIFFICULT THIS
BILL UNFORTUNATELY. MAKES THE
HIRING PROCESS EVEN MORE
CUMBERSOME BY REQUIRING
EMPLOYERS TO MAINTAIN FOR A YEAR
OF PREFERENTIAL LIST OF COVERED
WERE COVERED WORKERS FACE SOLELY
ON SENIORITY AND NASCO. IF AN
EMPLOYER WANTS TO FILL A
POSITION WITH WITH- AT A STORE
WITHIN TWENTY FIVE MILES OF THE
CLOTHES STORE THEY WOULD THEN
HAVE TO SEND A WRITTEN NOTICE
WHOEVER'S THE MOST SENIOR
EMPLOYEE FOR THAT POSITION.
WITHIN FIVE DAYS AND THEN WAIT
UP TO AN ADDITIONAL FIVE DAYS
FOR THE COVERED WORKER TO EITHER
ACCEPT OR DECLINE THE OFFER
CREATING A POTENTIAL TEN DAYS
SLOW DOWN FOR THE HIRING
PROCESS. AND CONTINUING THIS
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR OF
THAT PREFERENTIAL TRANSFER THIS.
THIS BILL DOES- DOES ALLOW FOR
AN EMPLOYER TO MAKE SIMULTANEOUS
OFFERS TO COVERED WORKERS BUT
THOSE ARE CONDITIONAL AND WE
NEED WE NEED TO BE RESCINDED IF
THE INITIAL COVERED WORKER
ACCEPTED IT WITHIN FIVE DAYS.
AND OUR MEMBERS ARE NOT GOING TO
WANT TO MAKE OFFERS THAT HAVE A
HIGH CHANCE OF BEING RESCINDED.
AND IT WOULD WASTE THEIR TIME AS
WELL AS LONG ALONG WITH THE
APPLICANTS TIME. ADDITIONALLY
EMPLOYERS WOULD BE PROHIBITED
FROM OFFERING EMPLOYMENT TO
APPLICANTS THAT DID NOT RECEIVE
THE DID THAT DID NOT HAVE THE
PRIVILEGE OF EMPLOYMENT AT THE
TIME OF THE STORE CLOSURE AND
TOLD THE PREFERENTIAL LIST IS
EXHAUSTED. THIS PLACE IS THE
APPLICANTS. NEW TO THE WORKFORCE
AT A SIGNIFICANT COMPETITIVE
DISADVANTAGE AS IT TRIED TO
ENTER THE WORKFORCE- LASTLY THE-
TWENTY FIVE MILES IS FAIRLY
ARBITRARY- GIVEN THE STATE THAT
COULD RANGE ON A- COMMUTE FROM
OUR HALF HOUR IT JUST DEPENDS ON
TRAFFIC IT'S AS A PRO FLIES- SO
MAKING SOME SORT OF OFFERED TO.
A AND A COVERED WORKER THEY
WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE OVER AN HOUR
TO EMPLOYMENTS IS SEEMS FAIRLY
UNREALISTIC. OVEN FOR ALL THESE.
REASONS YOU'RE A RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSES. SIXTY SEVEN THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. OH MY GOODNESS HAVE
DRAW THE SHORT STRAW. MY LAST
ONE THERE ARE SOME LABOR REPS
HERE THAT YOU MAY WANT TO TALK
TO. ALL RIGHT. I DON'T. THINK
THIS. THIS IS MY LAST ONE SO-
GOOD EVENING THIS OFTEN ON
BEHALF THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE RESPECTFUL OF HIS AGE
AND- I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
TALK ABOUT SB NINETY THREE WHICH
IS A HOSPITALITY WORKER BILL
THAT WAS PASSED DURING BECAUSE
OF IT- THAT WAS A VERY VERY
NARROWLY TAILORED BILL THAT WAS.
WRITTEN TO SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS
THE CLOSURES THE FORCED CLOSURES
THAT WERE HAPPENING DURING THE
NINETEEN. AND HAD IT SUNSET ON
IT IT WAS BROKERED DEAL BETWEEN-
DEMONSTRATION- AND THE DIFFERENT
PARTIES INVOLVED IN
STAKEHOLDERS. ABOUT PRIOR BILL-
EASY THIRTY TO SIXTEEN THAT
ACTUALLY WAS MUCH BROADER THAN
THAT WITH NO SUNSET WAS ACTUALLY
VETOED BY THE GOVERNOR- WHAT WE
ARE SEEING NOW IS A TREND. OF
BASICALLY TRYING TO TAKE WHAT
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. A VERY
NARROW CIRCUMSTANTIAL BILL AND
TRYING TO GREATLY EXPANDED AS WE
ARE SEEING HERE- OUR CONCERN IS
THAT AS MR LANE SAID. THIS IS
TURNING INTO A VERY OVERLY
PRESCRIPTIVE HIRING PROCESS THAT
IS BEING FORCED ON EMPLOYERS- AS
WELL AS REALLY ELIMINATING OUR
DISCRETION IN WHO WE HIRE UNDER
THE BILL WE WOULD HAVE TO HIRE
THE MOST SENIOR PERSON. I'M
REGARDLESS OF THEIR SKILL I'M
REGARDLESS OF IF THEY HAVE SOME
SORT OF DISCIPLINARY RECORD WILL
NOT BE ALLOWED TO CONSIDER THAT.
OF THE WAY I READ THE BILL AS
WELL- SAY A SUPERVISOR POSITION
OPENED WE WOULD BE FORCED TO
TAKE SOMEONE FROM THE OTHER
STORE OVER PROMOTING ONE OF OUR
OWN. THE OTHER STORES EMPLOYEES-
WE ALSO THINK IT'S CHIPPING AWAY
AT WILL EMPLOYMENT INDEED ONE OF
THE LOCAL ORDINANCES REGARDING
THE HOSPITALITY WORKERS IN THE
COVE IN NINETEEN ERA. WAS ONLY
UP HELD UNDER THE CONTRACTS
CLAUSE BECAUSE OF HOW NARROWLY
TAILORED IT I WAS. WE'RE NOT
SURE THAT THIS WOULD SURVIVE

ISSUE I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AND SHOULD
THE BILL MOVED FORWARD I WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH OPPOSITION
TO ADDRESS CONCERNS- THAT THEY
HAVE RAISED- CONSUMER LITIGATION
FINANCING IS A PRACTICE IN WHICH
A THIRD PARTY. AND RELATED TO A
LAWSUIT PROVIDES FUNDS TO A
PLAINTIFF IN RETURN FOR PORTION
OF ANY FINANCIAL RECOVERY
RESULTING FROM THE CASE
LITIGATION FINANCING HAS BECOME
A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR GLOBAL
INDUSTRY AND HAS OPENED THE
DOORS FOR HEDGE FUNDS AND OTHER
FINANCIERS TO NOT ONLY PROFIT
OFF THE LAWSUIT OF OTHERS BUT
ALSO BECOME. HIDDEN PARTIES TWO
COURT CASES IN WAYS THAT OFTEN
IMPACT CONSUMERS RIGHT POTENTIAL
SETTLEMENTS AND THE LENGTH OF
THE CASE LENDERS MAKE AN AVERAGE
ON ON AVERAGE A 68% PROFIT ON
LOANS WHILE SOME VICTIMS MAKE
NEXT TO NOTHING OR AT TIMES END
UP WITH THAT. LAWSUIT LENDING
DISPROPORTIONATELY HURTS
VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
UNBANKED UNDERBANKED AND WITHOUT
A FINANCIAL SAFETY NET
POLITICIAN FINANCING CAN HELP
CONSUMERS ACQUIRE IMMEDIATE
FINANCIAL RESOURCES WITHOUT
REGULATION OR TRANSPARENCY
PEOPLE WHO ARE VICTIMS OF
INJUSTICE AND MISTREATMENT GET
BIG DEMISED AGAIN. IF THIS
PRACTICE IS TO BE PART OF OUR
LEGAL SYSTEM IF YOU SHOULD BE

AMERICAN- LEGAL FINANCE
ASSOCIATION FIRST OF ALL I- WANT
TO COMMEND SENATOR COMING AT
ALL- THIS IS A GOOD PIECE OF
LEGISLATION. WE HAVE WORKED
ACTIVELY IN ABOUT TEN STATES
AROUND THE UNITED STATES TO
SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. OUR
STAFF AND HERSELF OF WORK WITH
THIS TO ADOPT SEVERAL AMENDMENTS
THAT- THAT ADDRESS SOME
CONCERNS. WE UNFORTUNATELY AT
THIS POINT HAVE TO A RISE IN
OPPOSITION. AND RESERVE OUR
OPPOSITION RIGHT TO TECHNICAL
COMMAND- AMENDMENTS THAT ARE
BEING RESOLVED THAT OUR STAFF IN
THE CENTER- WORKING ON TO BE
DONE- WE WILL IMMEDIATELY UPON
THE ADOPTION OF THOSE
TECHNICALS- BECOME IN SUPPORT OF
THE LEGISLATION AND AGREED WITH
THE COMMITTEE. THAT WE WORK
ACTIVELY- TO- TO ADOPT THIS
LEGISLATION- TRANSPARENT-
TRANSPARENCY IS CRITICAL IN THIS
LICENSURE AND REGISTRATION OF
THESE THESE PRODUCTS ARE
CRITICAL WE NEED TO GET RID OF
BAD APPLES IN THIS BUSINESS. AND
WE SUPPORT THAT AND WITH THAT
I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN SAID SHE WHERE THAT SET
OF WINGS AND PUT YOUR FEET KNEES
IN THE BREEZE- I APPRECIATE IT'S
ALWAYS NICE TO SEE THAT
ALTHOUGH- MEMBER. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH SIR. THANK YOU MA'AM
FLOOR'S YOURS. OKAY IS THERE A-
JUST TALKING OKAY YES. HI HI MY
NAME IS SHANNON THOUGH AND I'M
HERE. ON BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL
FEDERATION OF THE BLIND THE
NATIONAL FEDERATION THE BLIND OF
CALIFORNIA. WE WOULD LIKE TO ASK
FOR A CARVE OUT FOR NON FOR
PROFITS. THAT- NOT FOR PROFITS
LIKE OURS THAT. THAT HELP FUND-
THAT HELP TO FUND- LEGAL AID FOR
ENFORCING CIVIL RIGHTS CLAIMS-
REFUND LEGAL SERVICES FOR BLIND
PEOPLE WHO HAVE A- HARD TIME
FINDING AND TURNING FOR A COUPLE
OF REASONS. ONE IS IT'S HARD TO
FIND ATTORNEYS THAT UNDERSTAND-
THE UNDERSTAND THE
CIRCUMSTANCES. THAT ALLOWED TO
BLIND PEOPLE DEAL WITH FOR
EXAMPLE A BLIND PERSON- FACING
EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION
BECAUSE THEIR EMPLOYERS AFRAID
OF THEM BEING THEIR SHARP KNIVES
ARE HOT STOVE SIR WORKING IN A
WAREHOUSE WITH ROBOTS OR IN A
MEDICAL SITUATION- WE-
UNDERSTAND THE SITUATIONS WE CAN
PROVIDE EXPERTS- EXPERT AS WELL
AS FUNDING TO HELP THEM- WITH
THIS PROCESS. WE ALSO PROVIDE.
LEGAL SERVICES AND FUNDING FOR
PEOPLE FOR PLAINTIFFS IN CASES
WHERE THERE IS UNSETTLED LAW SO
IT'S NOT EASY TO FIND AN
ATTORNEY BECAUSE IT'S NOT VERY
CLEAR CUT LAW- FOR EXAMPLE BY
PEOPLE BEING DISCRIMINATED
AGAINST BY UBER COOPER DOESN'T
WANNA TAKE GUIDE DOGS. SO IT
THIS IS AN EASY IT'S NOT AN EASY
DISCRIMINATION CASE WHERE
SOMEONE'S JUST SAYING GET OUT WE
DON'T LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE
BLIND IT'S A LITTLE MORE
COMPLICATED NOT THE FOR THE
BUSINESSES REFUSING THEM BECAUSE
THEY DON'T LIKE THAT- THE
MOBILITY DEVICE THE BLIND PERSON
IS USING- FINALLY- WE'RE
PROVIDING LEGAL SERVICES FOR
CASES THAT OFTEN DON'T HAVE.
LARGE FINANCIAL COMPENSATION WE
MAY ONLY GET A COUPLE THOUSAND
OR A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
THE CASE IF IT'S SUCCESSFUL-
SPLITTING UP A FEW THOUSAND
DOLLARS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE
BECAUSE ATTORNEYS AREN'T
COMPENSATED FOR THE VALUE OF
THEIR SERVICES EVEN IF THE COST
COSTS AREN'T BEING DIVIDED.
BETWEEN THE ATTORNEY AND THE
PLAN F. WE TAKE BE- CASES BASED
ON THE PRINCIPLES NOT BASED ON
THE AMOUNT WE'RE GOING TO BE
COMPENSATED IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL-
AND- SORRY- FUND RAISERS FROM
ACCEPTING MORE THAN THIRTY SIX
PERCENT. WOULD MAIL IF YOU COULD
WRAP IT UP WOULD BE PROBLEMATIC
IN INJUNCTIVE RELIEF CASES
BECAUSE THE FEES ARE OFTEN.

THAT BILLS OUT. OKAY NEXT THING
AS THREE SEVEN EIGHTY FIVE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
THE CHAIR IN THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR THEIR FOR THEIR WORK ON
THIS. BILL SB SEVEN EIGHTY FIVE
AND I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENT TO FAIRLY
SET REQUIREMENTS ACROSS ACROSS
PLATFORMS ON BOTH A REGIONAL AND
RE SELL MARKET PLACE- SB EIGHT.
SEVENTY FIVE IS A CONSUMER
PROTECTION BILL WHICH EMPOWERS
ATHLETIC SPORTS TEAMS AND
ARTISTS AND IT WHICH WHICH-
EMPOWERS THEM. AND ADDRESSES
REAL ISSUES AFFECTING LIVE EVENT
TICKETING. THE BILL EXPRESSLY
PROTECTS THE ABILITY OF ARTISTS
AND SPORTS TEAMS TO SET TERMS
AND CONDITIONS ON THE ON THE
SALE OF THEIR TICKETS INCLUDING
THE ABILITY TO USE TECHNOLOGY.
TO CONTROL SCALPING AND PRICE
GOUGING SPECULATIVE TAKING IS
THE PRACTICE OF A SELLER LISTING
TICKETS FOR SALE. FOR TICKETS
THAT THEY DO NOT YET POSSESS
WERE LISTING TICKETS THAT HAVE
NOT YET BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE BY
THE ARTIST TEAMS OR VENUES
THEMSELVES I HAVE AN EXAMPLE OF.
OF A SITUATION BUT I'M GONNA
MAKE IT BRIEFER THAN THAT
CONSUMERS ARE BRAZENLY MED LET
MISLED BY SPECULATIVE TICKETING
AND HIDDEN FEES TOO OFTEN
CONSUMERS GOING PLATFORMS AND
BUYING TICKETS THEY THINK ARE
WITHIN THEIR BUDGETS. ONLY TO
FIND OUT AT THE CHECKOUT PAGE
THAT FEES MUST STILL BE ADDED TO
THE ORDER. SB SEVEN EIGHTY FIVE
WILL END THE BIDDING GAME
ENFORCE ALL PLATFORMS TO LIST
PRICES UP FRONT IN OTHER WORDS
THE FIRST PRICE THE CONSUMER
SEES WILL BE THE FINAL PRICE
THEY PAID. THIS BILL BILL WOULD
ALSO IN SPECULATIVE SPECULATIVE
SPECULATIVE TICKETING AND
REQUIRE SELLERS TO SPECIFY THE
SEAT BEING OFFERED. FURTHER MORE
IN AN EFFORT TO EFFECTIVELY
BANNED THE PRACTICE OF SCALPING
AND THE USE OF BOTS THIS BILL
ESTABLISHES SERIOUS PENALTIES
FOR THE USE OF DECEPTIVE YOU ARE
ELVES THAT LOWER CUSTOMERS INTO
BUYING TICKETS AT INFLATED
PRICES. AND FOR EMPLOYING BOTS
THAT ALLOW PROFESSIONAL SCALPERS
TO HOARD TICKETS AND ENGAGE. IN
LARGE SCALE SCALPING DEPRIVING
COULD. CONSUMERS OF ACCESS TO
FACE VALUE TICKETS. THE REAL
ISSUE HERE IS THAT. THESE
PRACTICES HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE
RIGHT OF ARTISTS AND SPORTS
TEAMS TO CONTROL WHO CAN COME TO
THEIR THEIR EVENTS. BY RAISING
THE PRICES SO HIGH THAT- IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT TO GET TICKETS
AND THIS WOULD ELIMINATE THAT-
THAT OPPORTUNITY AND PROVIDE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GET
TICKETS AT. A MUCH REDUCED MORE
REASONABLE PRICE AND TO BE ABLE
TO GET THEM- WITHOUT HAVING TO
PAY HIGH FEES AND SO WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS DAVID
MARQUEZ FROM THE GLOBAL MUSIC.
AND I HADN'T HAD A GREAT WITNESS
BUT HE HAD TO GET BACK. HAD TO.
MAKE A MISS WORLD THERE WILL
STIPULATE THAT THE WITNESSES.
CREDIT WHAT OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I
HOPE TO BE IS GREAT RIGHT. JOE
NUMBER OF MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
TESTIFY TODAY MY NAME IS DAVID
MARCUS AND I SERVED AS THE
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF
GLOBAL MUSIC FOR TICKETMASTER.
LIVE NATION ENTERTAINMENT
COMPANY. RELATED TESTIFIED IN
SUPPORT OF SEVEN BILL SENATE
BILL SEVENTY FIVE. A COMMONSENSE
TICKETING REFORM BILL THAT WILL
CLEAN UP MUCH OF THE NEFARIOUS
ACTIVITY WE SEE THE IN THE LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT ECOSYSTEM. THIS
BILL IS CRITICAL TO PROTECT FANS
FROM PREDATORY RESELL PRICING.
AND TO PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF
ARTISTS TEAMS AND OTHER
ENTERTAINERS WHO DEVOTE THEIR
LIVES TO PROVIDING FANS A
MEMORABLE EXPERIENCES. OF FOCUS
MY TESTIMONY ON THREE MAIN
COMPONENTS OF THE BILL TODAY.
FIRST LIVE NATION ENTERTAINMENT
SUPPORTS THE BASIC PRINCIPLE THE
FIRST PRICE THE CONSUMER SEES IT
SHOULD BE THE FINAL PRICE THEY
PAY. THE ALL IN PRICE INCLUDES
ALL FEES FOR MANY YEARS WE'VE
ADVOCATED FOR THE INDUSTRY TO
TURN INTO AN ALL IN PRICING
MODEL. AND WE ARE PLEASED TO SEE
CENTER COBB CABALLERO CLUE
TRANSPARENT PRICING LANGUAGE IN
THE BILL. LIVE NATION ALSO FULLY
SUPPORTS A BAN ON THE PRACTICE
OF SPECULATIVE TICKETING AS
OUTLINED IN SB SEVEN EIGHTY FIVE
. SPECULATIVE TICKETING IS A
PLAINLY DECEPTIVE PRACTICE.
WHERE RESELLERS POST FOR SALE
TICKETS THEY NEED A POSSESS. NOR
HAVE A RIGHT TO ATTEND. THE
PHANTOM TICKETS ARE OFTEN POSTED
BEFORE A SINGLE TICKET HAS EVER
BEEN MADE AVAILABLE BY THE
ARTIST OF THE PUBLIC. IT'S A
PARTICULARLY EGREGIOUS FORM OF
TICKET SCALPING AND THERE'S NO
GOOD REASON TO A LOT OF PRACTICE
IN THE TICKETING MARKETPLACE. WE
BELIEVE RESELLER SHOULD OPERATE
ON THE SIMPLE PREMISE. THAT ONE
MAY ONLY POST TICKETS FOR SALE
THAT THEY POSSESS. WHETHER THEY
HAVE A CONTRACTUAL RIGHT TO
OBTAIN. PERIOD FINALLY. WE
SUPPORT THE LANGUAGE IN THIS
BILL THAT PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF
ARTISTS TO MANAGE OTHER TICKETS
ARE SOLD. RESOLD OR TRANSFERRED
. WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN
THIS COUNTRY WITH INDUSTRIAL
SCALE TICKET SCALPING.
FRUSTRATING EFFORTS BY ARTISTS
AND SPORTS TEAMS TO KEEP PRIEST
TICKET PRICES REASONABLE. AND
HAVE THE PROCEEDS FROM THEIR
TICKET SALES. BENEFIT THE ARTIST
IN THE TEAM'S. INSTEAD OF PROFIT
SEEKING MIDDLEMAN. THERE ARE
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARTISTS CAN
USE TO ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS
FOR EXAMPLE FAN TO FAN RESALE
EXCHANGES. FACE VALUE RESALE
EXCHANGES WHERE TICKETS CAN ONLY
BE RESOLVED FOR THE ORIGINAL
PURCHASE PRICE. THE TICKET
SCALPERS IN THEIR FAVORITE
RESELL SITES ARE MAKING A
CONCERTED EFFORT THROUGHOUT THE
UNITED STATES. TO PREVENT
ARTISTS FROM MANAGING RESELL. SB
SEVEN EIGHTY FIVE CORRECTLY
RECOGNIZES THAT FANS PAY LOWER
PRICES. WHEN ENTERTAINERS MANAGE
THE DISTRIBUTION AND PRICING OF
THEIR TICKETS NOT RESELLERS A
RESALE SITES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME AND HAVE IDENTICAL US
ALREADY THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL
RIGHT. OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
MINCING NO ONE ELSE APPROACH TO
MY PHONE OPPOSITION PRIMARY IN
OPPOSITION. SIR YOU IN
OPPOSITION ALL RIGHT LEGAL. MY
NAME IS BRIAN HAAS I'M THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SPORTS
FANS COALITION AND THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TESTIFIED TODAY.
SFC IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT
ADVOCACY GROUP DEVOTED TO
REPRESENTING FANS WHEREVER
PUBLIC POLICY IMPACTS THE GAMES
WE LOVE. WE WORK IN THE STATES
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL TO PASS
EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN OLYMPIANS
YOUTH ATHLETE HEALTH SAFETY
REFORM SPORTS BETTING IS YOUR
PROTECTIONS AND MANY MORE. SB
SEVEN EIGHTY FIVE WILL
NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE FAN
EXPERIENCE AND WHILE SOME OF THE
AMENDMENTS MOVE THE BILL IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION WE STILL MUST
OPPOSE. WELL S. B. SEVENTY FIVE
AS WELL INTENTIONED THE BILL
WILL CODIFY THE ABILITY OF A
VENN PRESENTERS TO UNILATERALLY
SET TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THAT
EXERT TURNING CONTROL OVER THE
CONSUMERS RIGHTS ONCE THE TICKET
IS OBTAINED INCLUDED AFTER
PURCHASE. UNFORTUNATELY
CONSUMERS HAVE NO BARGAINING
POWER OR ABILITY TO INFLUENCE
THOSE TERMS WHICH ARE OFTEN
UNFAIR IN USED TO LIMIT CONSUMER
CHOICE AND STIFLE COMPETITION.
SADLY WE'VE SEEN MANY EXAMPLES
OF CONSUMERS BEING USED AS PAWNS
BY EVENT PRESENTERS AN ORIGINAL
TICKET SELLERS IN THEIR EFFORT
TO INGRAIN EXISTING MONOPOLIES.
AND EXERCISE CONTROL OF TICKETS
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
PURCHASED. IN TWENTY NINETEEN
MEDIA REPORTED THAT HUNDREDS OF
CUSTOMERS THAT PURCHASE
LEGITIMATE TICKETS FOR THE EVENT
AT THE WILTERN THEATRE IN LA
WERE DENIED ADMISSION TO THE
EVENT SOLELY BECAUSE THEY HAVE
PURCHASED TICKETS ON THE
SECONDARY MARKET. IMAGINE THAT
HAPPENING ON THE SCALE OF THE
KINGS GAME. UNFORTUNATELY THIS
PROVISION WILL FORTIFY THE
ABILITY OF A VENN PRESENTERS TO
ACT IN THIS MANNER. WE HAVE NOT
SEEN ANYTHING ADDRESSING THIS
CONCERN THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
AND CONTINUES TO BE A
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE. PERHAPS WAS
MOST TELLING WITH RESPECT TO SB
SEVENTY FIVE IS WHAT'S MISSING
FROM IT. AND THAT INCLUDES MANY
OF THE PROVISIONS FROM OUR
TICKET BUYER BILL OF RIGHTS. WE
ARE PLEASED TO HEAR THE AUTHOR
EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR KEY
PROVISIONS IN THE BILL OF RIGHTS
IN LAST WEEK'S HEARING.
INCLUDING SUPPORT FOR TICKET
TRANSFERABILITY. HOWEVER THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS DO NOT YET
REFLECT THIS WILL AFFORD TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR
ON THIS KEY PROVISION. THE BILL
OF RIGHTS WERE DEVELOPED BY
SPORTS FANS COALITION NATIONAL
CONSUMERS LEAGUE CONSUMER
FEDERATION OF AMERICA FAN
FREEDOM. PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE
CONSUMER ACTION THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF CONSUMER
ADVOCATES. IN THE WAKE OF
NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS
ABOUT THE INDUSTRY. THESE RIGHTS
INCLUDE THE RIGHT TO TRANSFER
ABILITY THE RIGHT TO
TRANSPARENCY THE RIGHT TO SET
THE PRICE THE RIGHT TO A FAIR
MARKET PLACE AND THE RIGHT TO
RECOURSE. WE MAY HEAR FROM
SPONSORS OF THE BILL THAT- THIS
BILL AND RESELL MARKETS ONLY IN
ALREADY. THANK YOU SIR. YOUR
WRAP UP THANKS. FIVE OTHERS THE
OTHER. OTHERS WHO ARE OPPOSED.
GIVE ME MISTER CHAIRMAN OUR
SIGNALS HERNANDEZ I'M HALF THE
CONSUMER FEDERATION OF
CALIFORNIA WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE
BILL. NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THE MINUTES OF NOT
HAVING SEEN A DRAFT YET- BUT MY
COMMENTS ARE DIRECTED THE BILL
AS IS AND THEN WE WILL LOOK AT
THE MAN TO SEE IF IT DRESSES ARE
CONCERNS. FOR THE CONSUMER
FEDERATION- OF CALIFORNIA
PARTICULAR WERE CONCERNED THAT-
AS A BILL IS DRAFTED THERE ARE
CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS ARE PLACED
ON RESELLERS. WHICH IS FINE AND
THINK THERE'S SOME MERIT TO SOME
OF THINGS IN THE BILL. DOES NOT
GO FAR ENOUGH AS WAS MENTIONED
BY THE- PRIOR WITNESS. BUT WERE
REALLY CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THE
GAP. AND A LACK OF PROTECTIONS
WHEN CONSUMERS PURCHASE FROM THE
ORIGINAL. SELLERS AND AS YOU
KNOW MOST PEOPLE DON'T RESELL
THEIR TICKETS SO IT IS. VITALLY
IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHEN WE
HAVE A VIRTUAL MONOPOLY IN
PLACE. TO HAVE THOSE PROTECTIONS
IN PLACE ONE- ONE EXAMPLE- AT
WHICH WAS MENTIONED IN THE
ANALYSIS IS THAT THE
REQUIREMENT. THAT WHEN YOU
PURCHASE A TICKET YOU ARE TOLD
EXACTLY WHERE THAT SEED IS. NOT
AN AREA ANOTHER TERRITORY NOT
HIS OWN BUT THE EXACT- SECTION
I'LL- READ YOU KNOW ROW SEAT.
YOU NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY WHICH
TICKET YOU'RE PURCHASING THE WAY
THE BILL'S IS DRAFTED WEIGHTS
IMPRINT. IT WOULD ONLY IMPOSE
THAT REQUIREMENT ON RESELLER AND
NOT ON THE ORIGINAL SELLERS SO
THAT IS ONE EXAMPLE WHERE THERE
IS A GAPS WE WILL LOOK AT THOSE
MINUTES VERY CLOSELY. TO ENSURE
THAT IN ALL SITUATIONS ORIGINAL
SELLER WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE THAT
INFORMATION. AS WELL AS A NUMBER
OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE
IN THE BILL ON RESELLERS BUT NOT
ON THE ORIGINAL. SELLERS SO
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE WILL
LOOK AT IF THOSE ARE NOT ADDRESS
WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR OPPOSITION-
WE WILL CONTINUE TO YOU KNOW
HAVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE
AUTHOR AND PROPONENTS- TO THE
EXTENT NECESSARY BUT THOSE ARE
THINGS THAT WE WOULD LIKE
ADDRESSED- THAT'S JUST ONE EXIT
. ONE OF MANY EXAMPLES OF THE
BILL THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL
RIGHT. LET'S DO ME TO TEST MONEY

OPPOSITION TO SB SEVEN EIGHTY

RENDER ON THE HOUSE IF IT'S HE
WE ARE CLOSE UNLESS AMENDED AND
THE AUTHOR FOR HER WORK THANK
YOU. THANK YOU AND AT THIS TIME
THERE ARE NO FURTHER. ALL RIGHT
BRING IT BACK COMMITTEE. YES
SENATE ALLEN CENTER MEN WHO WILL
CENTER S. B. R. O. OKAY I WANTED
TO FOLLOW UP ON SOME OF THE
CONCERNS ME TO MADE BY THE- THE
FOLKS IN THE CONSUMER
FEDERATION- SPECIFIC THIS WHOLE
QUESTION OF THE SPECIFICITY OF
SEATS AYE AYES AYE YOU NOD YOUR
HEAD BUT I WANT TO KNOW WHAT
THAT MEANT AND- GET A SENSE OF
WHERE YOUR CONVERSATIONS ARE
WITH. NOW SO LET ME JUST SAY
THAT- THAT I'VE HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THE TICKET
BILL OF RIGHTS. AND. ALMOST
EVERY SINGLE. STATEMENT IN THAT
BILL OF RIGHTS ISN'T INCLUDED IN
THE BELARUS WE AGREED TO WORK
ON- THE I BELIEVE THE LAST.
ISSUE REMAINING IS A TRANSFER
ABILITY WHICH MEANS THAT IF YOU
AS A FAN BUY A TICKET IN THE END
YOU CAN'T GO CAN YOU GIVE IT TO
SOMEONE ELSE OR SELL IT TO
SOMEONE ELSE- AND THAT'S IT'S A
MATTER OF LANGUAGE BECAUSE WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO PROHIBIT THE
RESELLING OF TICKETS OVER AND
OVER AGAIN. SO IT DISCOURAGES
BOTS AND OTHER TECHNOLOGY THEY
CAN BUY A WHOLE- BANK OF TICKETS
AND THEN PUT HIM ON ON ON A
WEBSITE TO RESELL- IN REGARDS TO
THE REQUIREMENT- TO INCLUDE THE
ORIGINAL SELLERS NOT JUST THE
TICKET RESELLERS- AS PART OF
THAT- THAT- TRANSPARENCY.
MEASURES IN THE BILL THAT IS
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN AMENDED INTO
THE BILL WE TOOK THAT- ALREADY
IT'S PART OF THE AMENDMENTS SO
IN TERMS OF THE SPECIFIC
LOCATION OF THIS YET- NO THE
SEATS ARE ANOTHER ISSUE- OKAY-
QUITE FRANKLY. THAT WHAT WE'VE
TRIED TO DO WHAT WHAT HAS
HAPPENED IN THE PAST IS THAT-
THE TICKETS WOULD BE THAT THE
ACT THE SINGER OR THE ACT WOULD
ANNOUNCE THAT THEY WERE GIVING A
SHOW. AND IMMEDIATELY TICKETS
WOULD GO ON SALE. THE TICKET'S
HADN'T IT BEEN BEEN RELEASED BY
THE PROMOTERS OR WHOEVER IT IS
IT'S GOING TO BE PUTTING ON THE
SHOW. BUT THE PERFORMANCE AND-
AND SO YOU YOU WOULD GO ON TO A
U. R. L. SITE THINKING YOU WERE
BUYING A TICKET FROM. THE PERSON
OR THE IN THE COMPANY THAT HAD
THE ABILITY TO SELL IT TO YOU
BUT YOU YOU WEREN'T AND YOU
WEREN'T TOLD WHERE YOU WERE
GOING TO SET. FOR YOUR SEAT
NUMBER AND THAT WAS A CLEAR
INDICATION THAT THEY WERE
SELLING SOMETHING THEY HAD NO
CONTROL OVER BRENT AND SO- WHAT
WE PUT IN THE BILL IS THAT YOU
HAD TO HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION.
ABOUT IT THAT'S THIS TO SEE AND
WHERE YOU WE PEOPLE WERE BUYING
THE TICKET- SO THAT. PEOPLE WERE
SURE THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY
GETTING A TICKET FROM A VALID
TICKET RATHER THAN BEING SPEWED
THEIR SCAM. OR THE GENTLEMAN
FROM THE FROM THE CONSUMER
FEDERATION WAS SUGGESTING THAT
YOU'VE NOW MADE IT SO THAT. THE
ORIGINAL SELLER DOESN'T HAVE TO
TELL THE PURCHASER THE CONSUMER
COMPANY THAT SELLS WHEN I NAY
SAID IF THAT'S IF THAT'S THE
SITUATION WILL CHANGE IT BECAUSE
OUR INTENT. IS THAT WHEN YOU
MAKE WHEN YOU PURCHASE A TICKET
I THINK THAT A MEMORANDUM
INCLUDED CENTER COME HERE I
BELIEVE IT HAS RIGHT OKAY. OKAY
CENTER ALAMEDA CUT YOU OFF BUT
IT DOES GREAT I HAVE BEEN HERE.
OKAY CENTERMAN. I'M SORRY DO YOU
FOR THE QUESTION CENTER ON
SENTIMENT- I JUST WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR TAKING AMENDMENTS- YET
WHEN I FIRST READ THE BILL IN
THE ANALYSIS AYE IT. WAS
CONCERNING ELSE'S POINT OUT THAT
THIS IS VERY SKEWED. TOWARDS THE
ORIGINAL TICKET SELLERS- BUT I
THINK. YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL
FRUSTRATED AND MANY MANY OF MY
CONSTITUENTS PEOPLE I KNOW
PERSONALLY FRUSTRATED BY ALL
THE- YOU KNOW HIDDEN FEES A LACK
OF TRANSPARENCY SO APPLY THE
GOALS OF THIS BILL AND I THINK
WITH THE AMENDMENTS TO IT IT
SEEMS UNFAIR TO ME SO I'LL BE
PUTTING ON THIS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND I KNOW THAT I'M GOING
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION TO TRY TO. WORK IT
OUT. ALL RIGHT OTHER CENTER SB

THIS TIME THERE ARE NO FURTHER
OKAY BRING BACK COMMITTEE
QUESTIONS BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS
CYNICAL EURO. CENTER LAYERED I
APPRECIATE- WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO DO WITH THIS BILL LIKE I'M
I'M GONNA LAY OFF TODAY I HAVE
BEEN SEEING BILLS IN. GOVERNANCE
AND FINANCE HAVING TO DO WITH
THE BROWN ACT WHICH IS DIFFERENT
THAN BAGLEY KEENE BUT KIND OF
SIMILAR- IT INVOLVES HOW WE
CONDUCT- HEARINGS IN A DEMOCRACY
AND- I FEEL REALLY STRONGLY
ABOUT ABOUT THE BROWN ACT
BECAUSE I SERVED IN LOCAL
GOVERNMENT IS DID DID YOU AND-
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT SHOWING
UP WHEN PEOPLE ARE ANGRY AND
THEY REALLY WANT TO BE HEARD.
AND AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE
DYNAMICS ABOUT BEING PRESENT TO
CRAFT A SOLUTION THAT- THAT
PEOPLE CAN AT LEAST UNDERSTAND
ME BE HAPPY WITH AND I'VE
RESISTED ANY ATTEMPTS TO TRY TO.
ELIMINATE MEETINGS VISIT THE
PHYSICAL LOCATION MEETINGS AND
LIMITING THE ABILITY OF ELECTED
OFFICIALS TO DODGE SHOWING UP
AND- FACING PEOPLE IN THEIR
COMMUNITY AND DOING EVERYTHING
BY CINNAMON SO WANT TO BE ABLE
TO TALK THROUGH SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT. GET THAT I'VE DONE-
IN IN TERMS OF SETTING UP A AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE WHO
REALLY DO HAVE AN EMERGENCY AND
JUST CAN'T MAKE THE MEETINGS- I
DON'T WANT THE MEETINGS TO BE
USED AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO. TO
AVOID- PARTICIPATING ACTIVELY IN
THE IN WHAT I THINK IS A REALLY
IMPORTANT DEMOCRATIC PROCESS SO
NOT SAYING YOU'RE DOING THAT
HERE BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT. WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION
ON THE LINE SOME OF THIS DIDN'T
HAVE A CHANCE TO DO THAT SO ARM
AND LET ME SEE IF IT'S OUR
CHEMISTRY CHAIR. ARM ARE HAPPY
TO. CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION
THE FOCUS HERE IS ON STATE
BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS IT'S
DROPPED THE COST BY 90% YEAH
IT'S INCREASED PARTICIPATION IN
THE REASON. THE OF STAKEHOLDERS
FROM THE SENIOR COMMUNITY OR
DORSEY. THIS IS BECAUSE IT'S
PARTICULARLY HARD FOR PEOPLE.
ARE SOMETIMES IN THAT AGE GROUP
TO TEN TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES TO
STATE MEETINGS. AND THE IDEA OF
WHETHER WE HAVE TO CLARIFY IT OR
NOT BUT I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT
THERE IS A PHYSICAL PLACE FOR
THE MEETING THERE WILL BE PEOPLE
PRESENT. BUT IT ALLOWS REMOTE
PARTICIPATION AND THEN THE ONE
REMAINING ISSUE WE REMOVED ALL
THE ISSUES. ARE I BELIEVE THAT
THE OPPOSITION WAS CONCERNED
ABOUT EXCEPT. FOR THE PHYSICAL
QUORUM AND THE PHYSICAL QUORUM
DOES NOT EXIST IN STATE ONE HOUR
AND THAT SORT OF LIKE. GET YOUR
OWN BILL TERRITORY WE ARE TRYING
TO CLARIFY THE GOVERNOR'S OUR
EXECUTIVE ORDER FOR STATE BOARDS
AND COMMISSIONS AND IN GENERAL
IT HAS WORKED. PROVIDE SAFETY TO
FOR THE PERSONAL ADDRESSES OF
PEOPLE NOT HAVE TO BE LISTED ALL
OVER THE UNIVERSE. CAN BUT
HAVING SAID THAT WILL CONTINUE
TO WORK ON THAT YOU HAVE IS AN
OUTSTANDING SOUNDS GOOD. ALL
RIGHT OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS
OF I HAVE A COUPLE COMMENTS AND
I KNOW THIS IS LATE BREAKING
SENATOR LAYERED THAT I DID BRING
THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION TILL A
LITTLE LATER IN THE PROCESS. I
HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT FOR EXAMPLE
PAROLE BOARD'S MEETING. REMOTELY
CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION
MEETING COMPLETELY REMOTELY I
WOULD WANT TO DEPRIVE
INDIVIDUALS OF THE FUN OF BEING
OF CALIFORNIA COASTAL
COMMISSION. OF WITH THE
COMMISSIONERS ARE ACTUALLY
PRESENT AND SO I KNOW YOU'RE
GONNA CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS
TO MAKE SURE THAT. A WE DO HIT
THE SWEET SPOT YOU KNOW WHETHER
ALL THE COMMISSION IS THE TO BE
PRESENT. MAYBE NOT A ONCE UPON A
TIME THERE WAS A SMALL PET BIRD
ADVISORY COMMISSION IN
CALIFORNIA NOT SURE THE PRIZE
THE PUBLIC OF SOME ESSENTIAL
TRANSPARENCY IF THEY MEET
REMOTELY. BUT I DO THINK THAT
FOR THAT FOR EXAMPLE- THE P. YOU
SEE. THAT THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE
AT LEAST SOME CRITICAL MASS SO-
I KNOW THAT YOU'VE COMMITTED TO
ME. TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS
BUT ANY COMMISSION WHERE THERE'S
A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON AND GOOD
LUCK TO FINDING THIS ON
SOMEONE'S LIBERTY. OR ON A
SIGNIFICANT OF PROPERTY INTEREST
. THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE LEAST
BE SOME. OF BOARD MEMBER OR
MEMBERS PRESENT RIGHT NOW
PROVIDES FOR ONE STAFF MEMBER TO
BASICALLY KICK OFF THE- THE-
MEETING AT A AT A PHYSICAL
LOCATION VERSUS A BOARD MEMBER.
ANYWAY THOSE ARE SOME OF MY
THOUGHTS I KNOW WILL. YOU YOU
ARE EITHER SHARED OR CASH IN
YOUR WORK. OKAY I'LL ALSO SAY
THAT AS US SECRETARY OF
RESOURCES I WAS. A MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA MEXICO BORDER
COMMISSION AND WAS SO HAPPY NOT
TO TAKE A DAY AND A HALF OUT. TO
TRAVEL DOWN THERE TO MEET EVERY
SINGLE TIME BECAUSE OF THE
REMOTE. ACCESS I MIGHT NOT HAVE
PARTICIPATED OTHERWISE BUT
HAVING SAID THAT. MORE WORK WITH
EVERYBODY TO TRY TO MAKE THIS
WORKABLE TO THE EXTENT IT'S NOT
MARK. AND I SEE SENATORS SAID
NGUYEN YEAH I JUST WANT ALSO
EXPRESSED AND I SAID THIS IN
GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE AND WE
HAD- ABILITY OF THE DAY I HAVE.
D. PLEASE. CONCERN ABOUT REMOTE
- PUBLIC MEETINGS AND PUBLIC
OFFICIALS NOT BEING PHYSICALLY
PRESENT I THINK IT'S GOOD TO
HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY. AND THERE
IT'S LIKE TO BE. VERY CASE BY
CASE ON THE ON THE BODY- AND SO
FORTH AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT
COME UP- BUT I AM. VERY
CONCERNED WITH- ANY KIND OF PUSH
. TEND TO NORMALIZE REMOTE
MEETINGS BY PUBLIC BODIES THAT
ARE MAKING INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
DECISIONS. IT IS A IT IS NOT THE
SAME QUALITY OF DECISION MAKING
AND- IN MY VIEW AND SO I'M GONNA
GO FOR THIS- TODAY BUT I'M GOING
TO DEFINITELY WATCH TO SEE HOW
IT PROCEEDS AND I THINK IT'S ONE
OF THE REASONS THERE'S A
DISTINCTION BETWEEN ELECTED
BODIES AND APPOINT A- POINT
ABOUT IT'S GOT A LOT OF POWER.
YES ALL RIGHT. OF THERE'S BEEN A
MOTION BY E. CENTERMAN. OF WHICH
LIKE CLOSE THANKS FOR THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION THANKS FOR THE
WITNESS FOR STAYING TO THE- END

COLLEAGUES ARE THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT SENATE
BILL FOUR OH SEVEN I WANNA I
THANK THE CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE FOR
WORKING WITH US AND WE'RE HAPPY
TO ACCEPT- THE AMENDMENTS
OUTLINED IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS- SB FOUR OH SEVEN WILL
STRENGTHEN PROTECTIONS FOR. US
SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE-
USED BY INSURANCE SPECIFICALLY-
LGBTQ FOSTER YOUTH BY ENSURING
THAT THEY ARE NOT PLACED IN
HOSTILE. HOMES AS BEFORE SEVEN
STRENGTHENS THE RESOURCE FAMILY
APPROVAL PROCESS FOR LGBTQ
FOSTER YOUTH BY REQUIRING
EXPLICIT CONSIDERATION OF LGBTQ
YOUTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENTS CREATING STANDARD
DOCUMENTATION BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES FOR THESE
ASSESSMENTS ARE TO INCLUDE LGBTQ
YOUTH NEEDS REVIEWING COUNTY
APPROVED RESOURCE FAMILIES TO
EVALUATE IF THEY'RE MEETING THE
NEEDS OF LGBTQ YOUR- AND
ENSURING THAT RESOURCE FARMERS
HAVE BEEN NECESSARY SKILLS.
KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITIES TO
SUPPORT THESE YEARS ACCORDING TO
THE CALIFORNIA CHILD WELFARE
INDICATORS PROJECT THERE ARE
ABOUT FIFTY THREE THOUSAND YOUTH
IN FOSTER KAREN CALIFORNIA ABOUT
30% OF THOSE YOUTH KAPOS TO
IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ YOUTH NEARLY
ONE IN THREE. ACCORDING TO THE
TREVOR PROJECT TEAMS RECEIVE
PARENTAL SUPPORT REGARDING
GENDER IDENTITY WERE 93% LESS
LIKELY TO ATTEMPT SUICIDE THAN
YOUTH WHO DID NOT PERCEIVE
PARENTS AS SUPPORT OF. TWENTY
NINETEEN I WOULD PASSED A-
FOSTER YOUR BILL OF RIGHTS THAT
INCLUDE CERTAIN PROTECTIONS FOR
LGBTQ YOUTH- BUT WE- IT IS- DID
IT AND IN PRACTICE IT'S NOT
TRANSLATED- INTO ENOUGH-
SUPPORT- IN THESE FAMILIES. AND
WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
AFFIRMATIVELY THAT FAMILIES ARE
GOING TO BE A SUPPORTIVE AND NOT
HOSTILE TO THESE CHILDREN- SO
THIS IS A LONG OVERDUE REFORM.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE I WOULD ME TODAY
TESTIFY OR CRY PAULSON THE OLD
BUDGET TO RECALL CALIFORNIA.
ANTI RENT ALL RIGHT RENDA THE
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF CHILD WELFARE
POLICY AND THE ALLIANCE OF
GEORGE OUT OF PROMISE SERVICES.
THE DEMAND- CRIPPLES FROM BEHALF
OF QUALITY CALIFORNIA PREKO
SPONSOR BEST BEFORE- SEVEN. A
CHAIR MEMBERS I THINK WE CAN ALL
AGREE THAT NO CHILD SHOULD EVER
BE PLACED IN A HOME WHERE THEY
MIGHT REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO
EXPERIENCE DISCRIMINATION OR
HARASSMENT. BUT IT CONTINUES TO
HAPPEN TO SOMEONE MOST
VULNERABLE YOUTH IN THE FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM. OVER THE PAST
DECADE THE QUALITY CALIFORNIA
HAS SPONSORED NUMEROUS BILLS TO
MAKE SURE THAT RESOURCE FAMILIES
HAVE THE TRAINING AND SUPPORT
THEY NEED TO SUPPORT LGBTQ
YOUTH. AND ALL RESOURCE FAMILIES
ARE CURRENTLY REQUIRED TO
RECEIVE TRAINING ON SEXUAL
ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY.
WE CONTINUE TO HEAR STORIES OF
LGBTQ FOSTER YOUTH BEING
TRAUMATIZED AGAIN AFTER BEING
PLACED IN THE HOME IS NOT
ACCEPTING OR FIRMING UP THEIR
IDENTITY. AT THE ANALYSIS
HIGHLIGHTS THIS BILL IS NOT
DIRECTED AT THE BELIEFS OF
POTENTIAL RESOURCE FAMILIES
RELIGIOUS OR OTHERWISE. AND
EVERYONE IS FREE TO HOLD ANY
BELIEFS THEY CHOOSE ABOUT SEXUAL
ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY
AS LONG AS THEY DON'T
DISCRIMINATE HARASS OR THREATEN
FOSTER YOUTH IN THEIR CARE. THE
FOSTER YOUTH BILL OF RIGHTS
ALREADY PROTECTS FOSTER CHILDREN
FROM HARASSMENT AND IT'S
DISCRIMINATION BASED ON SEXUAL
ORIENTATION. AND GENDER
IDENTITY. CALIFORNIA MUST DO
EVERYTHING IT CAN TO FOLLOW
THROUGH ON THAT COMMITMENT TO
ENSURE THAT THE RESOURCE FAMILY
PROCESS IS AS STRONG AS
POSSIBLE. SB FOUR SEVEN WILL
STRENGTHEN THE APPROVAL PROCESS
BY MAKING IT CLEAR THAT ALL
RESOURCE FAMILIES. MUST HAVE THE
ABILITY TO CARE FOR A CHILD OF
ANY SEXUAL ORIENTATION OR GENDER
IDENTITY. AND THAT THEY'RE
WILLING TO SEEK OUT ANY AND ALL
AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO HELP MEET
THOSE NEEDS SHOULD ANY ISSUES
ARISE. IT WILL ALSO REQUIRE
COUNTIES TO ENSURE THAT RESOURCE
FAMILIES ARE UPHOLDING THE
RIGHTS OF NOT ONLY LGBTQ YOUTH.
ALL YOUTH REGARDLESS OF THEIR
BACKGROUND. AIMS THAT THIS BILL
WOULD SHUT OUT A CLASS OF
FAMILIES FROM THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM. BASED ON THEIR RELIGIOUS
BELIEFS ARE PATENTLY UNTRUE. THE
BILL SIMPLY ENSURES THAT ALL
RESOURCE FAMILIES ARE WILLING
AND ABLE TO UPHOLD THE RIGHTS OF
FOSTER YOUTH IN THEIR CARE AND I
RESPECTFULLY URGE DRIVE UP.
ALREADY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD EVENING CHAIRED MEMBERS
TYLER RANDI ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ALLIANCE OF CHILD AND
FAMILY SERVICES REPRESENTING A
HUNDRED AND SIXTY NONPROFIT
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATION.
THAT PROVIDES SERVICES TO
CHILDREN YOUTH AND FAMILIES AND
FOSTER CARE AND ONE OF THE CO
SPONSORS. I'M STUDIES SHOW THAT
LGBT YOUTH ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY REPRESENTED
WITHIN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM
COMPRISING OVER 30% OF YOU. AND
I'LL GIVE YOU TO YOU FOR- SUFFER
ABUSE IN FOSTER CARE OUT OF
RIGHT. RATE TWICE THAT OF NON
LGBTQ- A TO BE TO YOU THE AFTER
OFTEN END UP IN FOSTER CARE
BECAUSE THEY CAME OUT. WERE
FOUND OUT OR KICKED OUT OF THEIR
FAMILY. 45% OF LGBT YOUTH
SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED SUICIDE IN
THE PAST YEAR INCLUDING MORE
THAN HALF OF TRANSGENDER AND NON
BINARY YOU. CALIFORNIA HAS
ENACTED- LEGISLATION TO PREVENT
DISCRIMINATION INCLUDING THE
FOSTER CARE BILL OF RIGHTS.
HOWEVER THIS TRAP- THIS
PROTECTION IS NOT TRANSLATED ONE
APPROVING RESOURCE FAMILIES AND
SB FOUR OF SEVEN WILL STRENGTHEN
AND CLARIFY THE EXISTING
RESOURCE FAMILY APPROVAL
PROCESS. TO PREVENT
DISCRIMINATION THAT IS STILL
OCCURRING TODAY. I'M BACK CARE
GIVERS MY CAPTAIN CAN MEET THE
NEEDS OF ALL YOUTH REGARDLESS OF
SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND GENDER
IDENTITY. TO BECOME A RESOURCE
PARENT THERE'S A SET OF CRITERIA
THAT ONE MUST MEET- AND IF THE
PER CABIN PERSPECTIVE CARE GIVER
CANNOT ME FEES THEY SHOULD NOT
BE APPROVED. WE OFTEN DON'T KNOW
WHICH YOUTH ARE GAY OR NON
BINARY OR WHICH CHILDREN WILL
COME OUT. AND I'M GONNA SHARE A
QUICK STORY ABOUT YOU KNOW WAS
SHARED BY ONE OF OUR MEMBERS. ON
THE STORY OF AN INDIVIDUAL NAMED
TONY TONY CAME INTO FOSTER CARE
WHEN HE WAS FOUR YEARS OLD. HE
WAS PLEASED WITH THE LOVELY
COUPLE IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
TONY HAD NO MEMORY OF HIS
EARLIER LIFE THE ONLY FAMILY HE
EVER KNEW WAS HIS FOSTER FAMILY.
HE CALLED HIS PARENTS MOM AND
DAD AND THAT'S THE PLANES THAT
WAS HIS FAMILY. WHEN HE WAS TONY
WAS FOURTEEN HE CAME OUT TO HIS
FAMILY TELLING THEM HE WAS GAY.
THE DAY AFTER HE TOLD THEM HE
WAS REMOVED FROM HIS FAMILY.
THIS WAS BEYOND DEVASTATING.
THAT'S WHY IS HIS FAMILY HE WAS
LACED INTO A GROUP HOME THE REST
OF IT THAT'LL- HE- FROM. HOME TO
GROUP HOME UNTIL THE AGE OUT OF
FOSTER CARE. WE MUST ENSURE THAT
ALL CARE GIVERS ARE ABLE TO MEET
THE NINETY THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THANK YOU THANK YOU RESPECTFULLY
OSCARS. RIGHT THANK YOU. ALL
RIGHT LET'S NOT TO THE
OPPOSITION. THOSE IN OPPOSITION
TO SB FOUR OH SEVEN OF YOUR PRO
TO MICROPHONE. SURE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS A GREG BIRD TIME HERE
TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA FAMILY COUNCIL IN THE
PACIFIC JUSTICE INSTITUTE. THIS
BILL IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE
SUPREME COURT'S RECENTLY
ARTICULATED TESTS. UNDER THE
FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE OF THE
FIRST AMENDMENT. IF FORCES
RESOURCE FAMILIES TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN PROVIDING CARE FOR THE
WEAKER MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY.
AND MAINTAINING FIDELITY TO
THEIR FAITH. IN FULTON VERSUS
PHILADELPHIA THE SUPREME COURT
SAID THAT THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T
PUT ITS CITIZENS TO THAT CHOICE.
FURTHER THIS IS NOT THE LAW
NEUTRAL TO RELIGION THE HIGH
COURT SAID THE GOVERNMENT FAILS
TO ACT NEW TRULY WHEN IT
PROCEEDS. IN A MANNER INTOLERANT
OF RELIGIOUS BELIEFS OR
RESTRICTS PRACTICES. BECAUSE OF
THE RELIGIOUS NATURE. THE VIEW
THAT THIS BILL ONLY ADDRESSES
BEHAVIOR AND NOW BELIEVE. IS THE
SAME ARGUMENT FOUND BANKRUPT BY
THE SUPREME COURT IN MASTERPIECE
CAKESHOP VERSUS COLORADO.
FUNDING THAT THE GOVERNMENT
CANNOT IMPOSE REGULATIONS. THAT
PASSES A JUDGEMENT OR
PRESUPPOSES THE ILLEGITIMACY OF
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND PRACTICES
. CALIFORNIA HAS A GRAVE
SHORTAGE OF HOMES AVAILABLE FOR
FOSTER KIDS. THERE IS 8%
DECREASE ANNOUNCED IN TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY. THE PRIMARY
DEMOGRAPHIC THAT IS MOST LIKELY
TO STEP IN AND FILL THIS NEED.
OF BUT TO BOTH THEIR RELIGIOUS
CONVICTIONS IN THE PRESENCE OF
STABLE HOMES IS FOUND IN THE
RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY. GREAT
MAJORITY OF THESE PEOPLE OF
FAITH HOLD TRADITIONAL VIEWS ON
A GENDER IDENTITY AND HUMAN
SEXUALITY HOW MANY FAMILIES OF
FAITH ARE YOU GOING TO LOSE IF
THIS BILL PASSES. ONE NEVER
KNOWS WHAT A TEENAGER WILL
ANNOUNCE AS AN IDENTITY TO A
PARENT. IF PEOPLE OF FAITH THE
COMMUNITY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO
PARITY FOSTER CHILD BECAUSE THE
CHILD MIGHT COME OUT AT SOME
POINT. IN THE CLEAR SELF TO BE
LGBTQ ART SUCH PARENTS ALSO NOT
QUALIFY TO ADOPT CHILDREN. IS
THAT WHERE WE'RE GOING ALREADY

PATHWAY THAT INVOLVES. YOUR
REVERSIBLE PUBERTY BLOCKERS
STERILIZING CROSS SEX HORMONES

THANK YOU. AND AT THIS TIME
THERE ARE NO FURTHER ALL RIGHT
LET'S REBATE COMMITTEE SIR S. B.
I'VE SPENT MOST OF MY LIFE
WORKING IN FOSTER CARE. AT BOTH
IN GROUP HOMES AND AS AN
ADVOCATE FOR FOSTER YOUTH SOME
OF YOU HAVE LEARNED THIS ABOUT
ME EVEN THOUGH I'M NEW HERE. MY
DAD WAS THE FORMER HEAD OF
FOSTER CARE FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND A CHILD WELFARE
DIRECTOR IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND
MY BUSINESS PARTNER LATER IN HIS
LIFE BEFORE HE DIED. GRAHAM
MORAN A FOSTER HOME THAT WAS
WHERE MY DAD LEARNED TO LOVE
FOSTER YOUTH BECAUSE HIS SISTERS
WERE ALL FORMER FOSTER YOUTH MY
AUNT'S NOW. IF MY DAD WERE
STANDING IN THIS ROOM TODAY HE
AND BY THE WAY FOREMOST EXPERT
ON FOSTER CARE ACROSS THE WHOLE
NATION DURING HIS LIFE. HE WOULD
TELL ALL OF YOU THAT THERE'S
ONLY ONE THING THAT MATTERS. IN
THE LIFE OF A FOSTER CHILD AND
THAT IS. THAT ONE ADULT JUST
ONE. LOVES THEM UNCONDITIONALLY.
AND THAT IS ALL THAT THIS BILL
SAYS. THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO
ADOPT A CHILD NO MATTER HOW OLD
THEY ARE. BUT YOU ACCEPT THE
FACT THAT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT.
BECOME SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT
YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE THE DAY
THAT YOU BROUGHT THEM INTO YOUR
HOME. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS WHAT
EVERY CHILD NEEDS. THEY JUST
NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU LOVE THEM
UNCONDITIONALLY. NO MATTER WHAT
COLLEGE THEY CHOOSE MATTER WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THEIR SEXUAL
IDENTITY NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS
WITH THEIR GENDER THAT YOU LOVE
THEM. AND I BELIEVE THAT SENATOR
WIENER IS TRYING VERY HARD. TO
PROTECT A VULNERABLE GROUP OF
YOUNG PEOPLE. WHO WE SEE IN
ALARMING NUMBERS LIVING ON OUR
STREETS FORMER FOSTER YOUTH AND
AMONGST THEM HIGHEST AMONGST
THEM LGBTQ. SO I'M GONNA SUPPORT
THIS BILL AND ALL I'LL MAKE THE
MOTION TO MOVE IT TODAY AS WELL.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU SIR S. B.
OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS-
SEEING NO QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
I WANT TO JUST CLARIFY A FEW
THINGS CENTER WINNER. OF THE
THIS ISSUE'S BEEN RAISED ABOUT
YOU KNOW. YOUR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
AND YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS AND
HOW THEY RELATE TO- FOSTER
YOUTH- SO FOR EXAMPLE IF A
GRANDMOTHER WAS A PERSON IN OF
FUNDAMENTALISTS- COULD THEY BE
THE FOSTER MOTHER SO TO SPEAK OF
THEIR GRAND CHILD. YES
ABSOLUTELY ARE THE PEOPLE THAT
HAVE WHAT EVER VIEW THEY WANT
WHATEVER RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE
THEY WANT. THE PEOPLE HAVE A
RIGHT TO HAVE WHATEVER VIEW THEY
WANT. THEY DON'T HAVE A RIGHT.
TO HARM THE CHILDREN THAT
THEY'RE RAISING. THEY DON'T HAVE
A RIGHT. TO TRY TO YOU KNOW. IN
BURKE- A KID ENGAGE IN
PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE- THEY
DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO HARM THE
CHILD. THAT THEY'RE TAKING IN AS
A FOSTER. A FOSTER CHILD. AND I
DON'T THINK IT'S IN THE INTEREST
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. TO
HAVE. PEOPLE THE FOSTER PARENTS
WHO ARE NOT SIMPLY WILLING TO
SAY I'M GOING TO COMPLY WITH THE
LAW. WE ALREADY THE LAW ALREADY
EXISTS. BUT PEOPLE SAY I CAN'T I
CAN'T COMPLY WITH THE LAW AND
I'M GOING TO BE EFFECTIVELY
ABUSIVE. TOWARD MY- FOSTER KID
IF THEY COME OUT AS GAY OR
LESBIAN OR QUEER TRANS THAT'S
NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE
ALLOWING IN CALIFORNIA IT'S
HARMFUL TO THESE KIDS. IN CENTER
OSSIPEE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT IT'S
NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT NEARLY
HALF OF HOMELESS YOUTH ARE LGBTQ
ALMOST HALF THAT IS NOT A
COINCIDENCE. AND IT'S NOT A
COINCIDENCE THAT SO MANY OF
THOSE KIDS COME OUT OF FOSTER
CARE- SO NOT DOCKED WITH THIS
BILL IS ABOUT. ALL RIGHT IT
CENTER ISSUES MOVE THE BILL.
HASN'T SAID I REMEMBER IF I
COULD A GRANDPARENT WHO WANTED
TO TAKE IN THEIR CHILD ISN'T OF
FOSTER PARENTS A KINSHIP
PLACEMENT SOMETHING DIFFERENT
MMHM. OKAY THANK YOU FOR THE
CLARIFICATION ALL RIGHT- SO
CENTER ISSUES MOVE THE BILL SO
DO WE WAS THAT YOUR CLOTHES YEAH
ALL RIGHT- THEM SECTOR IF YOU
WOULD CALL THE ROLL. SINCE FILE
ITEM FORTY FIVE AS BEFORE- SEVEN
BY SENATOR WINTER. THE MOTION IS

EIGHT CENTER WILL. THE. WE WOULD
LIKE TO PRESENT THANK YOU. WHEN
YOU GET THROUGH.
FORRESTER I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR
YOU I HAVE BAD NEWS. GOOD NEWS
IS THIS WITH THESE ARE ALREADY
IN BED. YOU SO YOU'RE NOT CAN
GET THOSE CALLS THE BAD NEWS IS
THEIR MOMS ARE STILL A LOT AND
IF I GIVE THE SIGN YOU'RE GONNA
GET LIT UP. SO JUST TAKE THAT
ACCOUNTS WE PROCEED ANYWAY MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY SB
EIGHT TWENTY NINE WHICH WILL
TAKE A SMALL STEP IN PROTECTING
CONSUMERS FROM THE MONOPOLY THAT
CONGRESSMAN STEAK ONLY ALLOWED
WHEN APPROVING THE TICKETMASTER
LIVE NATION MERGER. OF TWENTY
TEN. OVER A DECADE AFTER THE
MERGER TICKETMASTER LIVE NATION
NOW HOLDS CLOSE 290% OF THE LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT MARKET ACCORDING
TO THE BILLBOARD TOP 110086% OF
THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST TOURS WERE
TICKETED BY TICKETMASTER. OUT OF
ALL THE SHOWS DONE IN THE U. S.
LAST YEAR WHICH WAS 200-040-0982
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED FORTY TWO
THEIR SHOWS WAS TICKETED. WITH
TICKETMASTER SO TICKETMASTER
PUSHES THESE VENUES BECAUSE OF
THE MARKET LEVERAGE THAT LIVE
NATION HAS CONTROLLING ALL THE
ACTS TO SIGN. EXCLUSIVE
CONTRACTS AND IN RETURN THEY GET
RESIDUALS I EAT KICKBACKS THOSE
COSTS ARE OBVIOUSLY ABSORBED BY
CONSUMERS. WHETHER IT'S IN THE
PRIMARY OR THE SECONDARY MARKET
SO THIS BLATANT MARKET MANY
MANIPULATION THAT TICKETMASTER
LIVE NATION IS ABLE TO GET AWAY
WITH THIS UNFAIR DARK. JUDGE
CONSUMERS WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY OUR
CONSTITUENTS. SB EIGHT TWENTY
NINE WILL PROHIBIT EXCLUSIVITY
CLAUSES IN CONTRACTS BETWEEN A
PRIMARY TICKET SELLER IN AN
ENTERTAINMENT VENUE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A PIECE
OF LEGISLATION IS BASED UPON TWO
THINGS A PROPOSAL THAT'S GOING
THROUGH THE NEW YORK LEGISLATURE
RIGHT NOW. AND A STIPULATED
AGREEMENT THE TICKET MASTER
SIGNED WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF
IRELAND BACK IN TWENTY TWENTY.
YEAH ALTHOUGH THESE ARE PRIVATE
BUSINESSES IN I DON'T THINK IT'S
IDEAL TO BE INVOLVED IN THEIR
CONTRACTS I THINK IT'S OUR JOB
IS LEGISLATURE LEGISLATURES. TO
ENSURE THEIR CONSTITUENTS ARE
PROTECTED FROM BLATANT MARKET
MANIPULATION. I AM ABSOLUTELY
PRO BUSINESS BUT I'M ALSO
INTERESTED INTRINSICALLY OPPOSED
TO COLLUSION. AND AS TEDDY
ROOSEVELT SAID WHERE TRUST
BECAUSE MONOPOLY THE STATE HAS
IMMEDIATE RIGHT TO INTERFERE.
WITH THAT THIS IS A REALLY MINOR
REFORMS THAT HOPEFULLY WILL LEAD
TO LOWER TICKET PRICES I DO HAVE
ONE. ONE WITNESS AND HE'S BEEN
HERE ALL DAY SO IT IF YOU WOULD
ALLOW. TO MINISTER MISTER
BRAINERD GAS WITH THE SPORTS FAN
COALITION. SURE THANK YOU. GOOD
TO SEE EVERYONE AGAIN AGAIN
BRIAN HAS SPORTS FANS COALITION
I WILL SKIP OVER MY USUAL
INTEREST BILL AND JUST GET INTO
IT. EXCLUSIVE CONTRACTS FOR
TICKET DISTRIBUTION ARE
INCREDIBLY HARMFUL TO CONSUMERS
THESE TYPES OF CONTRACTS WITH
LIMITED SALE TICKETS TO A
PARTICULAR VENDOR CAN HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON FANS AND
ABILITY TO ACCESS TICKET AT FAIR
PRICES. THESE EXCLUSIVE
CONTRACTS NOT ONLY HURT
CONSUMERS BUT STIFLE COMPETITION
WITHIN THE INDUSTRY. BY LIMITING
THE NUMBER OF VENDORS THAT CAN
SELL TICKETS TEAMS CREATE A
MONOPOLY THAT ALLOWS VENDORS TO
CHARGE WHATEVER PRICES THEY
WANT. WITHOUT FEAR FOR
COMPETITION. DISCOVER RIPPLE
EFFECT AFFECT ACROSS THE
INDUSTRY CALIFORNIA SPORTS SEEMS
NO STRANGER TO THIS ISSUE. FOR
EXAMPLE CRYPTO DOT COM ARENA IN
LA IS HOME TO TWO NBA TEAMS
WHICH ARE TICKETED BY TWO
DIFFERENT VENDORS. THE LAKERS
ARE TICKET MASTER CLIENT WHILE
THE CLIPPERS ARE NAY ACCESS.
ACCORDING TO A SURVEY WE DID
EARLIER THIS YEAR TICKETMASTER
CHARGES ROUGHLY 23% AND FEES ON
LAKER TICKETS. WHILE THIS MAY
SEEM HIGH IT IS LESS THAN HALF
OF THEIR AVERAGE FEET ACROSS ALL
NBA TICKETS AT THE TICKET FOR. I
BELIEVE THAT IS BECAUSE CLIPPERS
TICKETS SOLD TO A ACCESS ARE
SUBJECT TO ABOUT A 14% FEE.
WHICH SEEM REALLY SERVES AS A
COMPETITIVE BALLPARK AGAINST
TICKETMASTER RATCHETING UP ITS
FEES. COMPETITION WITHIN VENUES
IS GOOD FOR FANS. TEAMS AND
VENUE SHOULD WORK WITH MULTIPLE
VENDORS TO SELL TICKETS ALLOWING
FANS CHOOSE THE PLATFORM THAT
WORKS BEST FOR THEM. AND THIS
BILL WOULD HELP CREATE THAT
COMPETITION THAT WILL ULTIMATELY
LEAD TO LOWER PRICES HIGHER THAN
AYE VOTE THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH OTHERS IN SUPPORT. OF
