EQUITY INTO VEHICLES. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS IF YOU
COULD GAVEL THIS GIANT
WOODPECKER OVER HERE BEHIND ME
ON THE WALL. I RISE TO PRESENT
IT SB EIGHT FORTY SEVEN
CALIFORNIA IS A VERY DIVERSE
STATE WE TRADITIONALLY MAKE
EVERY EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT
DIVERSITY IS RESPECTED AND
ACCOMMODATED IN THE NORTH STATE
AND OTHER PARTS OF CALIFORNIA
THERE ARE LARGE POPULATION OF
FOLKS WHO WEAR TURBANS ARE
PACKAGES AS PART OF THEIR
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. WITHIN THOSE
GROUPS SOME ENJOY RIDING MY
MOTORCYCLES THIS IS WHERE THE
CONFLICT EXISTS BETWEEN THEIR
RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS AND THE
CALIFORNIA LAW CURRENTLY NO
HELMET ON THE MARKET EXIST THAT
WILL ACCOMMODATE A TURBAN OR
PACKAGE BEING WORN UNDERNEATH.
MANY STATES HAVE EXEMPTED ADULTS
OVER TWENTY ONE FROM WEARING
HELMETS. WHILE RIDING
MOTORCYCLES SEVERAL OTHER STATES
DO NOT REQUIRE HOW MUCH AT ALL
SB EIGHT FORTY SEVEN WOULD
SIMPLY EXEMPT CALIFORNIANS WHO
WEAR HELMETS WHO WEAR A TURBAN
OR PACKET FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS-
FROM WEARING A HELMET WHILE
OPERATING OR RIDING A
MOTORCYCLE. THIS IS NOT WITHOUT
PRECEDENCE OUR OWN U. S.
MILITARY ALLOWS THE WEARING OF
TURBANS AND PACKAGE INSTEAD OF
WEARING HEAD COVERS. EVEN CANADA
LAW EXEMPTS THOSE WHO PRACTICE
THE SIKH RELIGION FROM WEARING
THE SAFETY HELMET. CALIFORNIA IS
WELL KNOWN FOR THE STRICT LAWS
TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM
THEMSELVES. EVEN WHEN IT'S THEIR
CHOICE MY HOPE IS THAT THIS BODY
WILL CONSIDER PROTECTING THE
FREEDOMS. WE HOLD DEAR REGARDING
OUR DIVERSE RELIGIOUS. RELIGIONS
IN THIS STATE WITHOUT AYE
ASPIRIN AYE VOTE THANK IS CENTER
DALITS SKETCHER DEBATE CENTER
GONZALEZ YES THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS- I-
CERTAINLY RESPECT MY COLLEAGUE
FROM BIEBER- THIS WENT THROUGH
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE I
COULDN'T IN GOOD FAITH SUPPORT
THIS BECAUSE I BELIEVE- TRAFFIC
SAFETY AND- HOLDING THAT- THE
ISSUE OF. OF FOLKS THAT COULD
FALL OFF OF THEIR MOTORCYCLE AND
GET A SEVERE. HEAD INJURY I
THINK WOULD BE- YOU KNOW
SUPERSEDE. YOU KNOW RELIGIOUS
FREEDOMS AND SO ALTHOUGH I
UNDERSTAND THAT WE DID SOME
RESEARCH IN THE TRANSPORTATION
COMMITTEE- CANADA DOES ALLOW.
SOME EXEMPTIONS BUT IT'S VERY
FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND NO OTHER
STATE FROM MY KNOWLEDGE HAS.
ALSO PROVIDE AN EXEMPTION FOR
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE TURBINES
THERE ARE SOME INNOVATIONS OUT
THERE BUT THEY'RE ONLY FOR
BICYCLES. NOT MOTORCYCLES SO
WITH THAT YOU KNOW WE'VE WORKED
ON THIS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS
AT LENGTH IT'S A VERY
INTERESTING INTERESTING
DISCUSSION I'M GLAD IT'S IN
FRONT OF US TODAY BUT I CANNOT
IN GOOD FAITH SUPPORT THIS I
WILL BE VOTING NO TODAY SO THANK
YOU. SENATE ALLEN YOU RECOGNIZE
. YOUR MEMBERS I VOTED FOR THIS
IN COMMITTEE AND I THINK THERE'S
A NUMBER OF US WHO WANTED TO
GIVE THE AUTHOR AN OPPORTUNITY
TO KEEP WORKING ON IT- IT
DOESN'T SEEM LIKE ANY AMENDMENTS
HAVE BEEN TAKEN SO I'M I THINK
I'M LAYING OFF- NOW. THERE ARE
SOME OPPORTUNITIES FROM FOR
MOVING FORWARD- GIVEN SOME OF
THE TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE OUT
THERE BUT I THINK WE OUGHT TO
FOCUS. ON THOSE TECHNOLOGIES FOR
SAFER WRITING RATHER THAN JUST A
BLANKET EXEMPTION I WAS HOPING
THAT BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE
FLOOR THIS WOULD BE A NO WORKED
OUT. I DIDN'T HEAR THAT HAS AND
I'M- I WILL BE LAYING OFF.
CENTER CITY ARE TO. THANK YOU
MISTER- SO AS A OF PUBLIC SAFETY
OFFICIAL THAT ACTUALLY WENT ON
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS AND- I
UNDERSTAND THE MECHANICS OF WHAT
HAPPENS OUT THERE. THE
POPULATION REPRESENTED BY THIS
PARTICULAR- IT BILL- IS NOT
SIGNIFICANT. IN IN THE IN
RELATION TO THE POPULATION OF
PEOPLE TO GET IN MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENTS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
AND ALSO WHEN YOU NARROW THAT
DOWN EVEN FURTHER. AND THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY. ARE
INVOLVED IN A MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT AND THE TRAUMA IS FROM
HEAD TRAUMA- IT IT NARROWS IT
DOWN EVEN MORE. IF SOMEBODY
CHOOSES. TO JUMP ON A
MOTORCYCLE. THEY'RE ALREADY AT
RISK AND THIS IS GOING TO PUT
MANY MORE AT RISK OR LESS AT
RISK- THEN THEY WOULD ORDINARILY
BE. AND AND WE CANNOT CONTROL
THAT. MY OWN MOTHER DIED IN A
MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT AND- SHE WAS
WEARING A HELMET AND THE HELMET
HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY SHE
DIED- SO- I THINK WE'RE THERE'S
A POINT AT WHICH WE START TRYING
TO DO MORE- THE NECESSARY. FOR
PEOPLE TO MAKE DECISIONS. ON
THEIR OWN BEHALF. AND WHEN
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT RELIGIOUS
EXEMPTIONS WE DO THAT ALL THE
TIME. WE DO THAT WITH LAND
ZONING WE DO THAT WITH THIS AND
WE CAN DO THAT WITH THIS ALSO-
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT. TO THE
COMMUNITY THAT IS AFFECTED BY
THIS. AND IT IS THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY. AND IS THERE A
RISK AND SO I'M NOT SURE WHY WE
FEEL THE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
IMPOSE SOMETHING THAT IS AGAINST
THEIR RELIGION WHICH IS TO TAKE
THAT OFF. WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
TO REPLACE IT ANYWAY. SO WITH
THAT- IT FOR THAT REASON I AM
GOING TO SUPPORT THIS. EVEN NOW
IT'S A PUBLIC SAFETY PERSON.
THAT UNDERSTANDS THE RISKS AND
DANGERS. OF THESE TYPE OF
ACCIDENTS AND HOW YOU CAN GET
SOME HEAD INJURIES FROM THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR NEXT UP
BY A SENATOR CORTESE FOLLOWED BY
SENATOR CAFIERO AND SENATOR
WIENER SENATOR CORTESE THE
FLOOR'S YOURS THE THINK SO THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT I RISE IN
SUPPORT. OF SB EIGHT FORTY
SEVEN- IT WE DID HAVE A ROBUST
DISCUSSION IN COMMITTEE AND
SINCE THAT TIME I'VE CHECKED IN
WITH THE AUTHOR OF MULTIPLE
TIMES- TO TRY TO DETERMINE- WHAT
HIS. COMMITMENT WAS IN IS GOING
FORWARD TO TRY TO KEEP WORKING
OUT ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES TO
MAKE SURE THERE'S NO FRAUD MAKE
SURE THINGS ARE VERIFIED. A MAKE
SURE PERHAPS IT DOES THERE'S A
DMV PROCESS INVOLVED JUST LIKE
THERE IS FOR SO MANY THINGS-
THAT ARE REQUIRED- WHEN YOU-
TAKE ON THE PRIVILEGE OF OPERATE
A MOTOR VEHICLE- THAT SAID I'M
I'M SUPPORTING THE BILL. THE
PRIMARILY BECAUSE I CONSIDER
MYSELF A FIRST AMENDMENT
PURISTS- HOPEFULLY I LIVE UP TO
THAT. BUT I THINK. IF I'M GONNA
LIVE UP TO IT TODAY- I NEED TO
ALLOW. OF WHATEVER. POSSIBLE F.
MY OCCUR. DURING THE REMAINING
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS HERE- TO
PROTECT THESE FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHTS- IT GIVE THE AUTHOR A
CHANCE TO FIND THAT GROUND-
BEFORE CUTTING OFF THAT
OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE WE HEARD
TESTIMONY- IN COMMITTEE-
DIRECTLY FROM MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THAT WOULD BE
PROTECTED. IN TERMS OF THEIR
RIGHTS THE WHO WHO BASICALLY
SAID THEY WOULD. RATHER DIE THAN
TAKE OFF- THEIR THEIR RELIGIOUS
HEADWEAR- THAT'S A STRONG
RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT BUT IT
CONVINCED ME THAT- THIS ISN'T
ANY KIND OF A RUSE OR PLOY. IT
REALLY IS ABOUT. OF FORCING A
PROPOSITION ON PEOPLE- THAT WE
DON'T. LIKE TO SEE UP FORCED ON
ANYBODY IN THIS COUNTRY IT
INSTANCE THE LEGISLATION
LEGISLATIVE SESSION CONTINUES IF
WE GET THIS OFF THE FLOOR TODAY
I THINK THE AUTHOR HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY IN GOOD FAITH- WHICH
HE HAS PROMISED TO IT TO TRY TO
FIND. THE GROUND WE PROTECT THE
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS- WITHOUT
COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF
PUBLIC SAFETY OR THE DEPARTMENT
OF MOTOR VEHICLES- ADMINISTER
PROGRAMS THAT EXIST WITHOUT AYE
ORIGIN AYE VOTE THANK YOU THANK
YOU SENATOR CORTESE SENATOR
CAFIERO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
PRESIDENT I ALSO RISE IN
SUPPORT- ON AN AYE AYE AYE RISE
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO UNDERSTAND THAT- UP FOR. FOR
MEMBERS OF THE SIKH COMMUNITY
THIS IS A RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCE
THIS IS A TRADITION THAT GOES
BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND ON
THIS BODY. IN THE PAST HAS. DONE
FAR MORE. FOR ABSOLUTELY NO
REASON AT ALL- WE HAVE BASICALLY
ALLOWED PEOPLE TO J. WALK
DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT'S
ILLEGAL AND IT'S DANGEROUS AND
YOU COULD GET HURT CROSSING THE
STREET HERE- WE HAVE ALSO-
ALLOWED. BICYCLIST I DON'T KNOW
WHETHER IT EVER GOT SIGNED BUT
BICYCLISTS TO NOT HAVE TO STOP
FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS FOR STOP
SIGNS- AGAIN. FOR THIS FOR THE
CONVENIENCE OF THE BICYCLIST WHO
KINDA DON'T FOLLOW THE RULES
ANYWAY- THIS ON THE OTHER HAND
IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BECAUSE
THIS IS. PART OF A RELIGIOUS
OBSERVANCE THESE ARE GROWN
ADULTS MAKING THE DECISION AS TO
WHETHER THEY WANT TO GET ON THAT
A MOTORCYCLE AS WAS ARTICULATED
A VERY DANGEROUS ACT IN ITSELF-
AND FOR THAT REASON I'M GONNA BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY.
SENATOR WIENER THE FLOOR'S
YOURS. I THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT-
I APPRECIATE WHERE THE AUTHOR IS
COMING FROM AND THE SUPPORTERS I
KNOW THIS IS COMING FROM A GOOD
PLACE- BUT UNFORTUNATELY I WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS
BILL- TODAY. I THINK WHEN IT
COMES TO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS
ESPECIALLY AROUND THINGS LIKE
HEALTH AND SAFETY. AND CIVIL
RIGHTS LAWS AND OTHER REALLY
CRITICAL PUBLIC POLICIES WE HAVE
TO BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS I WHEN
THE LEGISLATURE I THINK IT WAS
THIRTY YEARS AGO AND ACTED- THE
HELMET REQUIREMENT FOR
MOTORCYCLES. I KNOW THAT WAS
HUGELY CONTROVERSIAL ANSWER
CONTINUES TO BE CONTROVERSIAL
TODAY- BUT THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT. HEALTH AND SAFETY.
MEASURE IT'S NOT A MINOR THING
AND WHEN SOMEONE HAS A HEAD
INJURY- BECAUSE OF A MOTORCYCLE
OCTOPUS ARE NOT WEARING A HELMET
IT AFFECTS THEM AND THEIR
FAMILIES. AND THEIR CHILDREN
AFFECTED TIRE COMMUNITY IT
AFFECTS THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM-
AND SO THAT'S WHY WE MADE THAT.
DECISION I THINK WE SHOULD BE
VERY VERY VERY CAUTIOUS- IN
EXEMPTING PEOPLE FROM IMPORTANT
HEALTH SAFETY OR CIVIL RIGHTS OR
OTHER IMPORTANT POLICIES- IN
TERMS OF EXEMPTING THEM SO I
WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING IT TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR WIENER AYE
SENATOR GROW FOLLOWED BY CENTER
CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
SB EIGHT FORTY SEVEN I REPRESENT
A LARGE S. C. CAN DO EAST ASIAN
COMMUNITY. I'M NOT ONLY IN MY
DISTRICT BUT I HAVE A LOT OF
FRIENDS THAT ARE IN THIS A
RELIGION THROUGHOUT THE STATE
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE HEAD
GEAR THE TURBAN. IS CALLED A DAS
STAR IN IT'S ONE OF THE FIVE
RELIGIOUS SYMBOLS CARRIED. A
CARRIED AND WORN BY A BAPTIZED
SIKHS- AND IT'S ON THEIR BODY
MOST ALL TIMES ESPECIALLY IN
PUBLIC. BENE ASKED TO REMOVE IT
IS A SINCERE INSULT TO THEIR
FAITH IN WHAT THEY BELIEVE AND
IT'S A SYMBOL THEY REALLY DO
BELIEVE THAT IT'S A SYMBOL OF
HOLINESS AND OF SPIRITUAL POWER
. EACH FIVE INNER DASAR.
DEPENDING ON THE HAS A
DIFFERENCE. IN THIS COMMUNITY
AND I THAT STEP ON READ FREE AND
READ FAITH- LIKE THIS. BY IT
HURTS MY HEART THAT IS DONE ON A
LOT A LOT A SEVERAL OCCASIONS.
THROUGH DIFFERENT RELIGIONS-
THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TO ALLOW
THE SEEKS A VERY SMALL
POPULATION IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
TO BE ABLE TO HONOR THE GOD THEY
SERVE AND NOT HAVE TO HAVE THEIR
HEAD KERRY MOVED AGAIN IT'S AN
INSULT AND IT IS CONSIDERED A
SPIRITUAL POWER- IN PURITY ISSUE
WITH THE C. COMMUNITY
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU SENATOR GROW
SENATOR MEN. I THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES I
APPRECIATE THE ROBUST DEBATE I
WAS NOT PLANNING ON SPEAKING ON
THIS BILL. I ALSO REPRESENT A
VIBRANCY COMMUNITY- I ALSO
REPRESENT A LOT OF FOLKS THAT
LIKE TO RIDE MOTORCYCLES- THAT
BEING SAID. I WANT TO ECHO THE
COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES FROM
SAN FRANCISCO AND FROM SANTA
MONICA. THIS IS NOT A LOT IT'S
TARGETED AT THE SICK COMMUNITY
IT'S A LAW OF GENERAL
APPLICABILITY. IT WAS ENACTED
FOR REASONS OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND
THERE'S LOTS OF EXAMPLES OF LAWS
LIKE THIS THAT APPLY. AGAIN
NEUTRAL IN ALL RELIGIONS BUT
WHICH MAY HAVE THE IMPACT OF-
AFFECTING SOME RELIGIONS THAT
HAVE CERTAIN BELIEFS. OTHER
PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO GENUINELY
BELIEVE THERE SHOULD NOT WORK
WITH ARE YOU WITH WOMEN. BUT WE
HAVE LAWS THAT SAY YOU CAN'T
DISCRIMINATE IN THE WORKPLACE IN
THAT REGARD- WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO
OUT THERE WHO BELIEVE THAT THEY
SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TREAT CERTAIN
TYPES OF PATIENTS OR DELIVER
CERTAIN TYPES OF MEDICAL CARE.
AND YET WE HAVE LAWS THAT ARE OF
GENERAL TOOK ABILITY THAT
REQUIRES DOCTORS TO DO THAT. I'D
SAY THAT THIS- THIS LAW THAT WE
HAVE IN PLACE IS MEANT TO
IMPROVE SAFETY. AND AS
UNFORTUNATELY WHILE I WOULD LOVE
MORE SIX TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY.
RIDING MOTORCYCLES ARE THEY ARE
NOT IMMUNE TO HEAD INJURIES AND
WHILE THEY MAY BE A SMALL
COMMUNITY- THEY'RE STILL
VULNERABLE TO THE SAME ACCIDENTS
THAT WE ALL ARE SO. I'M NOT
GONNA BE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THIS
BILL TODAY IN AND- YOU KNOW I
LOOK FORWARD TO. THE
TECHNOLOGIES THAT- DESCRIBING
DESCRIPTION. OF SUPERVILLAINS.
SIZE TELL ME ARE GERMAN LIKE. I
SAW THEM SIXTEEN BE ABLE TO THE
IT ENJOY THE MOTORS. BUT BUT I
JUST THINK THIS IS A- I GUESS.
MEN CENTER AT. I THINK YOU NOT
MISTER. I ALSO IN PLANNING A
SPEAKING TODAY BUT- I JUST I
ALSO VERY LARGE THE COMMUNITY IN
MY- I. THE FIRST TEMPLE- IN THE
U. S. IN MY DISTRICT. AND WE
HAVE QUITE A FEW BURSTS GROUPS
THE MOTORCYCLE GROUPS IN MY
DISTRICT AND I AND I HADN'T EVEN
KIND OF THOUGHT. BUT THEY
GENERALLY DON'T WEAR HELMETS
THEY WERE TURBID AND SO KIND
ASKING THEM TO BREAK THE LAW.
AND I JUST THINK BECAUSE WE HAVE
PASSED LAWS THAT SAYS EVERYBODY
MUST HAVE INSURANCE. EVERYBODY
SHOULD HAVE HEALTH CARE
INSURANCE WE PROVIDED FOR ALL OF
THAT. THIS IS NOT UP TO ME THIS
IS NOT ANALOGOUS TO SOMEBODY
TREATING SOMEBODY ELSE WITH THIS
RESPECT BECAUSE OF THEIR
RELIGION. IS AMAZING I WANNA
MAKE THIS PERSONAL DECISION FOR
MYSELF FOR MY OWN RELIGION. AND
I AND I AM LIBERTARIAN OF TO
SUPPORT THAT. BUT HIS EGGMAN C.
NO. HIS NAME. IF IT CENTER I'M
BURKE. THANK YOU PRESIDENT OF
QUESTION A AUTHOR- WITH THE
AUTHOR TAKE A CRABS. LEE HI THIS

AWARE OF ALL RIGHT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU IS THERE ANY FURTHER.
CONVERSATION QUESTIONS DEBATE.
DISCUSSION I SEE NINE CENTER
DOLLY NICOLAS. WELL THANK YOU.
TO ALL THE MEMBERS WHO SPOKE I
THINK THIS IS PROBABLY. THE MOST
CONTROVERSIAL BILL I'VE EVER
BROUGHT FORWARD. I WANT TO THANK
THE CHAIR OF A TRANSPORTATION
WHO DID WORK WITH ME. TO GET
THIS BILL THIS POINT. THERE IS
NO TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE FOR A
HELMET THAT IS OUT THERE WE DID
THE RESEARCH ON THAT THERE IS
SOME- WORK IN THE AREA OF A
SMALL CHILDREN FOR BICYCLES- BUT
THERE IS ANYTHING. FOR ACTUALLY
MOTORCYCLE SO THAT'S NUMBER ONE
NUMBER TWO WE REACHED OUT TO THE
CALIFORNIA HIGH PATROL- LAW
ENFORCEMENT FOLKS. AND
BASICALLY- THEY HAVE DISPENSED
GIVING WARNINGS THEY'RE NOT
THEY'RE NOT CITING THEM THEY'VE
BEEN GIVING WARNINGS I DON'T
KNOW THERE PROBABLY HAS BEEN A
TICKET SOMEWHERE- BUT- FOR THE
MOST PART BECAUSE OF THEIR
FAITH. THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO.
DON'T DRINK THEY THERE'S A LOT
OF OTHER THINGS IN THEIR
RELIGION THAT REQUIRES THEM TO
BE REALLY SAFE IT WITH THEIR
LIVES AND- AND I ACTUALLY-
INHERITED THIS. AREA OF AREA OF
SENATOR NELSON'S WHICH IS THE
DEFERRED AREA. HAVE THE LARGEST
SIKH COMMUNITY. IN THE NATION
QUITE FRANKLY YUBA CITY- IN THAT
PART OF THE DISTRICT AND LEARN
ABOUT THIS AS I AM NOW
REPRESENTING THEM SO I. SO
BROUGHT IT FORTH- I'D LOVE TO
GET THE BILL OUT I KNOW THERE'S
SOME WORK TO DO THERE WE LOOKED
AT AREAS WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY.
PUT SOMETHING ON THERE- DRIVER'S
LICENSE THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO
IDENTIFY THAT THEY ARE SEEK OF
THAT RELIGION SO THAT WE DON'T
HAVE. EVERYBODY USING THIS AS AN
EXEMPTION WHO JUST DOESN'T WANT
TO WEAR A HELMET BUT REALLY-
THEY DO NOT TAKE THEIR TURN OFF
IN FACT WHEN THEY CAME INTO THE
BUILDING TO LOBBY- SOME OF THEM
HAD SWORDS AS WELL. AND THEY
WERE ALLOWED TO COME IN THIS
BUILDING WITH A SWORD AND I HAVE
A PHOTO IN MY OFFICE WITH
SOMEBODY THE SORT ON THEIR SIDE.
SO WE DO THE HELL AND EVEN COME
IN THE BUILDING WITH SOMETHING
THAT. WILL NOT ALLOW ANYBODY
ELSE TO COME IN. THE BUILDING
WITH SO. I WILL COMMIT TO YOU.

THE CLUB IN NINETEEN PANDEMIC IN
OTHER WIDESPREAD OUTBREAKS LIKE
R. S. B. AND WHAT WE'VE BEEN
ENCOUNTERING WE KNOW THAT THREE
PAID SICK DAYS IS JUST NOT
ENOUGH RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT
DURING THE PANDEMIC THE

PREVENTED THE SPREAD OF
APPROXIMATELY FOUR HUNDRED NEW
CODE CASES. AN UNFORTUNATE
UNFORTUNATELY AS WE KNOW THOSE
BENEFITS ARE ONLY TEMPORARY A

PRESIDENT MEMBERS COMMUNITY
CLINICS ARE INTEGRAL TO OUR
STATE'S HEALTH CARE DELIVERY
SYSTEM AND THE SUCCESS OF OUR
MEDIC CALYX PENSION EFFORTS BUT
THE PANDEMIC IN ITS AFTERMATH
BROUGHT INTO SHARP FOCUS THE
WORK FORCE CRISES THAT ARE FACED
AS WELL AS THE- ACCESS ISSUES
THAT STILL REMAIN. AS WE
NEGOTIATE A BROADER PACKAGE
AROUND THE FUTURE MEDIC CAL AND
I'M PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THE
SENATE'S POSITION IN PROTECTING
OUR PROGRESS IN THIS REGARD
WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY DOUBLE DOWN
ON PROGRESS FOR MAKING WITH
COMMUNITY CLINICS ALSO THINK WE
NEED TO. IMPORTANT DATA TO MAKE
SURE WE'RE HAVING GOOD OUTCOMES
IN TERMS OF QUALITY FOR
PATIENTS- AND THAT THE WORK
FORCE ITSELF HAS A PATHWAY TO
SUCCESS IS TOUGH WORK REQUIRES
CULTURAL FLUENCY IN HIGH DEGREE
OF SKILL- BUT WE KNOW IT'S ALSO
UNDERPAID OFTEN. AND THEIR HOURS
ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE THAT IT'S
HARD TO GET CONSISTENCY- SO THIS
BILL IS REALLY AN EFFORT. TO PUT
SOME OF THAT CRITICAL QUALITY
WORK FOR STATE IN PLACE. WAS
TAKEN SIGNIFICAN AMENDMENTS AND
HEALTH COMMITTEE AND JUST
YESTERDAY STILL MET WITH SOME OF
THE OUTSTANDING OPPOSITION FROM
COMMUNITY CLINICS IN MY DISTRICT
TO. TALK THEM THROUGH- WHAT THEY
SEE AS MAY BE BURDENSOME MAYBE
THEY'RE WRITING DOWN CERTAIN
INFORMATION ON A- H. R. FORM
RIGHT NOW ABOUT THE LANGUAGES
YOU SPEAK AND THEY NEED TO TYPE
IT INTO THE COMPUTER OR- HAVE A
DATABASE THAT HAS THAT NEW SORT

THINK WE CAN WORK THROUGH THOSE

HE'S PREPARED SECRETARY PLEASE
REACH. SENATE BILL EIGHT TWENTY
NINE BY SENATOR WILL ENACT
RELATES TICKET SELLERS. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT YOU'RE DOING A
FINE JOB THIS MORNING. YESTERDAY
WE HAD A VERY ROBUST DISCUSSION
ON THE SECONDARY- TICKET-
SELLING MARKET IN TODAY ARE
PRESENT U. S. B. EIGHT TWENTY
NINE WHICH WILL TAKE A STEP
TOWARD REFORMING THE PRIMARY
TICKET SELLING MARKET OVER A
DECADE AGO THERE- THE CONGRESS
APPROVED A MERGER BETWEEN
TICKETMASTER AND LIVE NATION AND
THEY NOW HOLD NEARLY 90% OF THE
LIVE ENTERTAINMENT MARKET.
ACCORDING TO THE BILLBOARD TOP
110086% OF THE COUNTRY'S BIGGEST
CHORES WERE TICKETED BY
TICKETMASTER LIVE NATION DANGLES
ARE IMPRESSIVE ARTIST ROSTER TO
VENUES IN EXCHANGE FOR SIGNING
AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT. THIS
ENSURES VENUES HAVE FEW OTHER
OPTIONS FOR PARTNERS IN KEEPS
LIVE NATION PERPETUALLY IN
CONTROL OF THE MARKET.
TICKETMASTER'S MARKET POWER A
LOT ALLOWS HIM TO MAKE
UNREALISTIC DEALS WITH VENUES IN
OURS BY OFFERING MAJOR FINANCIAL
BONUSES FOR LONGER EXCLUSIVE
CONTRACTS. THE BONUSES ARE SO
LARGE THAT NO OTHER PRIMARY
TICKET SELLERS ABLE TO COMPETE.
ULTIMATELY LIVE NATION AND
TICKETMASTER PASS THE COSTS ON
OF THESE BONUSES DOWN TO
CONSUMERS THROUGH EXCESSIVE FEES
AND DYNAMIC PRICING. SB EIGHT
TWENTY NINE WILL PROHIBIT
EXCLUSIVITY CONTRACTS AND
CONTRACTS BETWEEN A PRIMARY
TICKET SELLER IN AN
ENTERTAINMENT VENUE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. S. B. EIGHT
TWENTY NINE IS BASED ON A
LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL CURRENTLY
GOING TO THE NEW YORK
LEGISLATURE. TICKETMASTER LIVE
NATION IS ALREADY SIGNED A
STIPULATED AGREEMENT WITH THE
GOVERNMENT OF IRELAND IN THIS
HEINOUS PRACTICE. ALTHOUGH THESE
ARE PRIVATE BUSINESSES AND IT IS
AN IDEAL TO BE INVOLVED WITH
THEIR CONTRACT. I BELIEVE IT IS
OUR JOB AS LEGISLATORS TO ENSURE
OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE PROTECTED
FROM BLATANT MARKET MANIPULATION
. I RECENTLY COMPLETED A SURVEY
MY DISTRICT ABOUT FOLKS
EXPERIENCE OF BUYING. JUSTIN
TICKETS THROUGH TICKETMASTER
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT STORIES
BUT ONE THAT REALLY STRUCK OUT
TO ME. WAS JOSE JOSE. FAMILY
FIVE. PLENTY TO GO ON A VACATION
THIS SUMMER AND THEY WANTED TO
DO TO DO THE WILD WILD WEST.
ARIZONA UTAH NEVADA THERE WERE
THINGS THE KIDS WERE REALLY
EXCITED ABOUT IS THEY ARE GOING
TO GO TO PROFESSIONAL RODEO. SO
JOSE GETS ON TO BUY THE TICKETS
THERE SIXTY NINE DOLLARS A PIECE
TIMES FIVE A LOT OF MONEY BUT
THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME
EXPERIENCE FOR HIS KIDS. SO HE
GOES TO THE PULL THE TRIGGER TO
BUY THE TICKETS AND THEN BOOM IT
COMES OUT TWENTY DOLLARS A
TICKET. FOR HANDLING FEE THAT
WAS JUST TOO MUCH FOR JOSE TO
COMMIT TO AND NOW THE KIDS ARE
NOT GOING TO PROFESSIONAL RODEO.
AS OUR CONSTITUENTS FACE HIGH
COSTS OF LIVING ALREADY FOLKS
HAVE TO PINCH EVERY PENNY TO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE THEIR FAMILIES
WITH MEMORIES. AND EVEN THEN
THEY MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GO
DEPENDING ON THE FEES
TICKETMASTER'S DECIDE TO JUMP ON
CONSUMERS THAT DAY. I AM
ABSOLUTELY PRO BUSINESS BUT I'M
NOT PRO MONOPOLY. THE PRIMARY
TICKET SELLER MARKET HAS FAILED
CONSUMERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
IN OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE LEFT
WITH TWO OPTIONS. NOT ATTENDING
SHOW THEY DESPERATELY WANT TO
SEE OR PAYING HUNDREDS OF
DOLLARS SOMETIMES THOUSANDS TO
BE HONEST WITH YOU. OR HAVE TO
MOVE TO THE RESELLER PLATFORMS.
BY SUPPORTING SB EIGHT TO NINE
WE CAN LOWER TICKET PRICES BY
OPENING THE LIVE ENTERTAINMENT
MARKET UP TO MORE COMPETITION.
MORE COMPETITION WILL EVENTUALLY
FOSTER INNOVATION THAT CAN LEAD
TO THE ENHANCED TICKET BUYING
EXPERIENCE FROM. HER FANS FROM
ALL WALKS OF LIFE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. THANK SENATOR WELCOME.

FABRICATION OF METAL IS NOT

HAS CREATED AN INCENTIVE FOR

ENSURES THAT OUR WORKERS AT

THE BILL SENATE BILL TWO SIXTY
SEVEN BY SENATOR EGGMAN ENACT
WILLING TO HOUSING CENTER EGGMAN
THE FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MR PRESIDENT SB TWO
SIXTY SEVEN IS A BEARD BILL MOST
OF YOU VOTED ON LAST YEAR WE HAD
A LITTLE TROUBLE IN THE ASSEMBLY
SO WE'RE BACK TO SHARE WITH THE
BILL THAT'S EVEN BETTER. AND I
THINK CONTINUES TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUES THAT WE'RE ADDRESSING
LAST YEAR PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT
OF DIGNITY TO PEOPLE AND HELPING
GET FOLKS INTO HOUSING SO AS YOU
MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW RIGHT NOW
AND WHAT WE GO OUT HOW TO
HOUSING VOUCHERS IT IS THROUGH
VETERANS OR MENTAL HEALTH-
SECTION EIGHT DIFFERENT KINDS OF
THINGS WE GET OUT VOUCHERS AND
THEN THE PERSON HAS TO GO OUT
AND FIND A PLACE TO LIVE
GENERALLY WITHIN A- CERTAIN
AMOUNT OF TIME. THEY CANNOT FIND
A PLACE TO LIVE THEN THEY LOSE
OUT ABOUT YOUR AND THEY GO BACK
TO THE BACK OF THE LINE. MOST
THE FOLKS ON VOUCHERS HAVE HAD
SOME HARD TIMES IN LIFE THAT'S
WHY WE GIVE THEM VOUCHERS. SO
CURRENT LAW SAYS YOU GO USE YOUR
VOUCHER AND THEN THE LANDLORD
CAN ASK YOU FOR A CREDIT REPORT.
NO CHANCES ARE AS I SAID LAST
YEAR I HAVE VERY GOOD CREDIT AND
I HAVE BEEN BLESSED IN MY LIFE
AND I LIVE IN A CONSTANT STATE
OF GRATITUDE THAT MY LIFE HAS
WORKED OUT SO I HAVE VERY GOOD
CREDIT. I'M NOT APPLYING FOR A
HOUSING VOUCHER SO WE NEED TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PEOPLE OF HAD
DIFFICULTIES IN LIFE. WE HAVE
DECIDED THAT THEY READ DIFFICULT
IS A WANT TO GIVE HIM SOME HELP
WE SHOULD ALSO THEN MAKE SURE
THAT THERE'S A PATH FOR THEM TO
ACTUALLY GET THE HOUSING. RIGHT
NOW WHEN PEOPLE GET ABOUT THEY
PAY AT THE BOUT PAYS ABOUT
PERCENT THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR
THAT AS A 30% ALL THIS BILL SAYS
IS A LANDLORD MAY STILL ASK THEM
FOR THE CREDIT REPORT. BUT IN
ADDITION THAT PERSON COULD SAY.
I HAVE OTHER MEANS OF
VERIFICATION SO THAT I CAN PAY.
THAT OTHER 30% OF THE RENT. THAT
MIGHT BE A BE A CHECK. THAT
MIGHT BE THERE. ANOTHER FORM
INCOME COULD BE A PAY STUB. WE
HAVE WORK WITH THE APARTMENT
ASSOCIATION TO MAKE SURE. THAT
OTHER INCOME IS VERIFIABLE- AND
WITH THAT. THIS JUST ALLOWS
PEOPLE A PATH TO BE ABLE TO GET.
IN TO HOUSING. IT KNOWLEDGES
THAT THEY'VE HAD SOME CREDIT
ISSUES. AND DON'T HOLD THAT.
AGAINST THEM. FOR THE REST OF
THEIR LIFE. AND WITH THAT I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU SENATOR
EGGMAN I SEE SENATOR DOLLY.
FOLLOWED BY. CENTER PLACE HERE.
THAT OUR JOLLY. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT WAS I. SUPPORTED THE
BILL LAST YEAR I THINK THIS YEAR
IT'S- A BETTER BILL. WE TALK A
LOT ABOUT. FOLKS WHO ARE. ARE
HAVING A TOUGH TIME IN THEIR
LIFE AND- IF YOU'RE ON. A
VOUCHER SYSTEM OBVIOUSLY YOU'VE-
YOU'RE- YOU'RE HAVING A TOUGH
TIME. AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS
AND MANY OTHERS- AND THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE. IN SECTION EIGHT
HOUSING A RATING. TO THESE FOLKS
KNOW THE CIRCUMSTANCES THEY'RE
IN. THIS WILL GIVE US AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO HELP
THOSE FOLKS. ACTUALLY GET INTO
HOUSING AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR MY BOAT. CENTER BLANKS HERE
. THANK YOU- MAY I HAVE
PERMISSION TO ASK THE OTHER
QUESTION WE OUGHT TO TAKE A
QUESTION. SURE HE THINK IT YES
PLEASE PUT. IT IN YOUR PUBLIC
TESTIMONY JUST NOW WHAT YOU SAID
IS THAT THIS GIVES ANOTHER
OPTION FOR LANDLORDS TO OFFER A
WAY TO PROVE THAT THE TENANT CAN
PAY. BUT MY READING OF THE BILL
IS THAT IT PROHIBITS A LANDLORD
FROM ACTUALLY ASKING FOR CREDIT
SCORE. IN LAST THEY'VE ALREADY
OFFERED. ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF
PROVING THAT THEY CAN PAY. AND
TO ME THIS SHIFTS THE BURDEN OF
RESPONSIBILITY AND FOR THE MOM
AND POP LANDLORDS WHO MAY NOT
HAVE. THE SOPHISTICATION TO KNOW
THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE OFFERED
THIS. WHEN THEY DON'T OFFER IT
THAT OPENS THEM UP TO THE THREAT
OF LITIGATION. AND SO MY IN
LESS- I'VE MISUNDERSTOOD IT I
SUPPORT THE CONCEPT THAT YOU
DESCRIBE VERBALLY. BUT THE
WRITING OF THIS TO ME DOESN'T
SEEM TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AND SO-
UNLESS I HEAR SOMETHING
DIFFERENTLY I JUST WANTED TO
EXPRESS THAT I WOULD BE.
INTERESTED IN SEEING IT WRITTEN
IN THE WAY YOU EXPRESS ROUGHLY
SO I'LL LEAVE THAT AS A QUESTION
TO YOU BECAUSE I DO SEE THOSE AS
FUNDAMENTALLY VERY DIFFERENT. IN
TERMS OF WHERE THE LEGAL
RESPONSIBILITY LIES. OKAY YES. I
APPRECIATE THAT THE INTENT AND I
WILL GO BACK AND VERIFY THIS BUT
IT IS YOU OFFER SOME OF SOME
REPLACE REPLACE YOU OFFER. YOU
ASK FOR THE CREDIT REPORT AND
EVERYTHING AND HE SAID I DON'T
HAVE THAT BUT I HAVE ANOTHER
FORM OF INCOME THAT WOULD BE
ABLE TO MAKE THAT PAYMENT. OKAY
LAKES DURING YOUR TIME ANYTHING
FURTHER THANK YOU. I MEMBERS IS
THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ON
THIS SIDE OF. FURTHER DISCUSSION

CLOSE THANK YOU VERY MUCH I
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMBERS
WHO SPOKE ON THIS WILL CONTINUE

SOMETHING ELSE WE NEED TO TWEAK
OR ARE OPEN TO THAT. AGAIN WE
WORKED IN IS IN- COAX COHORT
WITH THE- APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
THIS YEAR IN ADDITION TO HOUSING
ADVOCATES WE THINK THIS DRAWS A
GOOD LINE TO BE ABLE TO. PROTECT
LANDLORDS. AND MAKE SURE THAT WE
GIVE PEOPLE A FAIR SHOT. TO
PROVE THAT THEY CAN PAY THAT 30%

SENATOR RAZA THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I RISE TO PRESENT SB
FIVE TWENTY FIVE WHICH WILL
ESTABLISH A TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR
PER HOUR MINIMUM WAGE FOR HEALTH
CARE WORKERS HEALTHCARE WORKERS
ARE ESSENTIAL AT EVERY POINT IN
OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. REMEMBER
THEY SANITISE OPERATING ROOMS TO
MAKE SURE THEY'RE SAFE FOR
SURGERIES THEY MAKE SURE
PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITALS HAVE
HEALTHY FOOD THEIR WORK HELPS
PEOPLE WITH KIDNEY DISEASE
ACCESS LIFE SAVING DIALYSIS
TREATMENT THEIR WORK ALSO HELPS
PEOPLE WITH LOW INCOMES HAVE
TRUSTED COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO
HELP THEM NAVIGATE HEALTHCARE IN
OUR COMMUNITY CLINICS. RAISING
THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR HEALTH CARE
WORKERS IN THE STATE IS CRITICAL
IN ORDER TO HELP RETAIN STAFF.
CALIFORNIA IS FACING A PATIENT
CARE CRISIS PARTLY BECAUSE WE DO
NOT HAVE ENOUGH HEALTH CARE
WORKERS TO CARE FOR POPULATION.
UNFORTUNATELY MANY HAVE LEFT THE
PROFESSION AFTER FACING TRAUMA
AND DANGEROUS WORKING CONDITIONS
THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC AND AT
THE SAME TIME STRUGGLING WITH
LOW PAY. THE IMPACTS OF THE
STAFFING CRISIS ARE BEING FELT
BY HEALTH CARE WORKERS AND THOSE
THAT THEY CARE FOR. WE HAVE
HEARD FROM HEALTHCARE WORKERS
SUCH AS MEDICAL ASSISTANTS IN
CLERICAL WORKERS WERE MAKING
LESS THAN TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS
PER HOUR THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO
MAKE ENDS MEET. LIKE JUST PAY
THE RENT OR PAY FOR GAS. THEY'VE
HAD TWO OR THREE JOBS AND THEY
DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO TAKE
CARE OF THEMSELVES WELL THEY ARE
TAKING CARE OF THEIR PATIENTS.
DURING THE PANDEMIC EVERYONE
ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXTRAORDINARY
COURAGE OF OUR HEALTH CARE
WORKERS WE PRAISE THEM. AND
PRAYED FOR THEM. MANY LOST THEIR
LIVES TO SAVE US. NOW THAT THE
WORST OF THE PANDEMIC OF THE IS
OVER IT IS TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE SACRIFICES OF OUR HEALTH
CARE WORKERS. ESPECIALLY THOSE
THAT MAKE THIRTY TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR. DO WE ALL KNOW
WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE. WE
SHOULD ASK THE CEO OF A
NONPROFIT HEALTH SYSTEM THAT
MADE FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS OR
ONE WHO MADE NINE POINT SIX
MILLION. COLLEAGUES I KNOW THE
DISTRESSED HOSPITALS NEED OUR
HELP AND I SHARE WITH THE SAME
CONCERNS. IN FACT WE SUPPORTED
ALREADY A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS FOR DISTRESS
HOSPITAL LOAN TO START. JUST TO
START GIVING THAT HELP. WE ALSO
CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THE MCL
TAX TO PROVIDE FUNDING TO
HOSPITALS AND LOOKING TO RAISE
THEM REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR
MEDICAL. THIS BILL IS NOT
INTENDED TO AND IT SOLVED THE
ENTIRE SET OF ISSUES WITHIN THE
HEALTHCARE DELIVERY SYSTEM
THAT'S PART OF A BROADER
CONVERSATION. BUT SO FAR
COLLEAGUES THE CONVERSATION IS
NOT INCLUDED THE WORDS ESSENTIAL
WORKER. THE HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE
IS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE
PLEA FOR FINANCIAL HELP. WE HELP
DISTRESSED HOSPITALS BUT WE
DON'T DENY LIVABLE WAGES TO THE
PEOPLE WHO CHANGE AND LAUNDER
THE DIRTY BED SHEETS THE PEOPLE
WILL MOP UP THE FLOORS IN THE E.
R. ROOM. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT
HOSPITALS CLINICS AND ANY
SIMILAR MEDICAL FACILITIES
CANNOT RUN THEIR DAY TO DAY
OPERATIONS WITHOUT ADDRESSING
THE NEEDS OF THEIR WORK FORCE. I
KNOW IT'S HARD TO HEAR ABOUT
HOSPITAL CLOSURES PRIOR TO MY
ELECTION A MAJOR HOSPITAL MY
DISTRICT WAS CLOSE THAT'S THE
LAST THING ANYBODY WANTS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. BUT LET'S REMEMBER
FACTUALLY MOST HOSPITALS ARE NOT
DISTRESSED MOST HEALTH
FACILITIES ARE ACTUALLY ABLE TO
AFFORD THIS. A RECENT KAISER.
FAMILY FOUNDATION HEALTH NEWS
ANALYSIS OF STATE DATA REVEALED
THAT DESPITE INCREASED LABOR
COSTS AND INFLATION MANY
CALIFORNIA HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN
PROFITABLE IN RECENT YEARS.
HEALTH ECONOMISTS ALSO SAY THAT
SOME OF CALIFORNIA'S THREE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT GENERAL
HOSPITALS ARE IN CRISIS AND THEY
BELIEVE HE SHOULD BE GIVEN. TO
THOSE THAT CAN SHOW THAT THEY
ARE IN NEED THAT IS WHY WE NEED
TO STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE IN
RAISING WAGES AND ADDRESSING THE
ISSUES FOR DISTRESSED FACILITIES
THAT NEED RELIEF. THE
CONVERSATIONS WILL NOT END HERE
I PLAN TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE
WE ARE DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR
THE WORKERS FOR THE PATIENTS AND
FOR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. AND
PASSED A BILL THAT MAKES SENSE
WE'VE ALREADY MADE SEVERAL
AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL IN THE
SENATE WE ARE PHASING IN THE
IMPLEMENTATION- FINAL OF TWENTY
FIVE BY JUNE OF TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE FIRST. SECOND FOR COVERED
HEALTH CARE EMPLOYMENT WITH THE
COMPENSATION OF THE EMPLOYEE IS
ON A SALARY BASIS THE EMPLOYEE
SHALL EARN A MONTHLY SALARY
EQUIVALENT TO NO LESS THAN
110050% OF THE MINIMUM WAGE
CHANGE FROM TWO TIMES. I'M AND-
WE CHANGE WAGE INFLATION TO
LESSER INSTEAD OF GREATER I AM
ASKING FOR YOUR SUPPORT TODAY SO
THAT I CAN ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING
ISSUES. DISTRESSED HOSPITALS
THAT TRULY CANNOT AFFORD. THOSE
WHO ARE OPERATING WITHIN THIN
MARGINS OR LOCATED IN RURAL
AREAS TO THE PARTICULAR NEEDS OF
CLINICS AND THREE THE TIMING AND
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
INCREASE. I'M ASKING FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TO GET THE OPPORTUNITY
TO WORK THESE PIECES OUT AS THE
BILL MAKES ITS WAY THROUGH THE
ASSEMBLY AND THEN WILL HAVE TO
COME BACK TO THE SENATE ON
CONCURRENCE. I'VE SPENT MY WHOLE
LIFE FIGHTING TO RAISE WAGES FOR
WORKING CALIFORNIANS FROM
HOUSEKEEPERS JANITORS
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS TEACHERS
AND NURSES. POVERTY WAGES HURT
EVERYONE WE'RE SIMPLY ASKING TO
LET HEALTH CARE WORKERS MAKE.
FIFTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR. THAT MEANS THEY STILL
QUALIFY FOR SUBSIDIZED LOW
INCOME HOUSING. IF WE WANT A
STRONG HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IF WE
WANT HEALTH EQUITY WE MUST
INCLUDE HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND
ALLOW THEM A WAGE THAT ALLOWS
THEM. TO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITIES
THAT THEY SERVE I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS. THANK YOU
SENATOR ALSO I SEEN FIVE
MICROPHONES UP. WE'RE GONNA
START WITH SENATORS SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
GONZALEZ WILL HOP MEN AND BECKER
THANK YOU SO MUCH MISTER
PRESIDENT AND WE KNOW THAT WHEN
WORKERS DO WELL OUR COMMUNITIES
DO WELL. AND I AM A PROUD CO
SPONSOR OF THIS BILL BECAUSE OUR
COMMUNITIES ARE NOT FINANCIALLY
WELL AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT OUR WORKERS AND VERTICALLY
ESSENTIAL WORKERS. HAVE A LIVING
WAGE I AM A CO AUTHOR IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF SB FIVE TO FIVE WHICH
WILL MAKE CALIFORNIA THE FIRST
IN THE NATION. LEAD THE WAY IN
ESTABLISHING A TWENTY FIVE
DOLLAR PER HOUR MINIMUM WAGE FOR
ALL HEALTH CARE WORKERS. IT IS
LONG PAST TIME TO VALUE THE ROLE
OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS. AND THE
PATIENT CARE THAT THEY OFFER A
MORE IMPORTANTLY MAKE SURE THE
SECTORS THAT ARE LED BY WOMEN.
EARN A LIVING IN FAIR WAGE AND
OUR COMMUNITIES WE ARE LOSING
TOO MANY TALENTED TRAIN
DIVERSITY COMPASSIONATE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS BECAUSE THEY JUST
CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THEIR RENT
OR THEIR BILLS BECAUSE OF THESE
LOW WAGES AND WE KNOW MEDICAL
FACILITIES ARE STRUGGLING TO
RECRUIT. AND TRAIN EMPLOYEES WE
HEAR THAT IN BMP AND EVERY
COMMITTEE VACANCY AFTER
VACANCIES AFTER VACANCY. MANY
CLINICS HOSPITALS AND HEALTHCARE
FACILITIES ARE COMPETING WITH
OTHER SECTORS LIKE RETAIL AND
FOOD SERVICE JUST TO MAKE SURE
OF OUR IN HOSPITALITY FOR INCH
ENTRY LEVEL HOURLY PAID WORKERS
. IN THESE. SECTORS ARE
COMPETING WITH OUR ESSENTIAL
HEALTH CARE WORKERS THIS IS WHY
HOSPITALS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE
FACILITIES NEED TO INVEST IN
THEIR WORKFORCE IN ORDER TO
ENSURE THE SERVICES ARE NOT CUT.
AND THAT ACCESS TO CARE IS NOT
IMPACTED WE CAN'T HAVE A
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM WITHOUT THE
MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE IT'S
WORKERS. HIGHER WAGES MEANS
HEALTH CARE WORKERS WOULD BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES
TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES AND TAKE
CARE OF US OF PATIENTS WHO NEED
THEIR CARE I WANT TO THANK THE
SENATOR. FROM LOS ANGELES
SENATOR RASO FOR BRINGING THIS
MEASURE FORD AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU
SENATOR SENATOR GONZALEZ FLOOR'S
YOURS THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS I'D TO RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT AND AS A PROUD CO AUTHOR
OF SB FIVE TO FIVE AND I THINK
MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES
FOR CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR. OUR
MOST VULNERABLE BUT VERY
ESSENTIAL WORK FORCE- AND THIS
SB FIVE TO FIVE RAISES THE
HEALTH CARE WE JUST TWENTY FIVE
DOLLARS AN HOUR AS WE KNOW- BACK
HOME IN SOUTHEAST LOS ANGELES
AND LONG BEACH SPECIFICALLY IN
THE HUNTINGTON PARK CUTTING HAY
AREA. I DID A LITTLE SEARCH
ONLINE AND I WENT ON INDEED AND
I WENT ON GLASS DOOR AND I
LOOKED AT WHAT THE- I. THE
THOUGHTS WERE FROM OUR WORK
FORCE THAT ARE WORKING WITH OUR
MOST VULNERABLE RESIDENTS IN
SOUTHEAST LOS ANGELES. FOR
HUNTINGTON PARK COMMUNITY
HOSPITAL THE FIRST THING IS THAT
IS THE NURSES ARE GREAT. THEY'RE
FANTASTIC EVERYONE WORKS REALLY
HARD BUT TIME AND TIME AGAIN
THAT CONSTANTLY SAID THE PAY IS
BAD IT'S NOT ENOUGH FOR
EVERYTHING THEY WANT YOU TO DO.
GOOD TO GET YOUR FOOT IN THE
HOSPITAL INDUSTRY CAN EXPERIENCE
BUT THAT IS ALL THE PAY IS NO
GOOD. THE AVERAGE SALARY AT
HUNTINGTON PARK COMMUNITY
HOSPITAL IS THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR. AND THIS IS IN
THE FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN
CALIFORNIA WHERE PEOPLE AS
MENTIONED BY MY GOOD COLLEAGUE
CANNOT MAKE ENDS MEET. PEOPLE
TAKING CARE OF OUR FAMILY
MEMBERS. IN OUR COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE MOST VULNERABLE AND NEED THE
MOST- STANDARDIZATION OF CARE
AND NEED. A BETTER CARE.
OFTENTIMES IN IN MY COMMUNITY
MOSTLY LATINO COMMUNITY. YOUR
FOLKS THAT SPEAKS SPANISH WHAT A
VALUE. IS FOLKS IT'S BECOME MY
IN LONG BEACH ONE OF VALUE AND
THEY'RE STILL GETTING PAID
THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR. AND SO FOR ME IT'S A
DISSERVICE WHEN WE CAN'T SIT
HERE AND ACTUALLY TAKE IT UPON
OURSELVES TO SAY YES TO THIS UP
TO THIS- BILL BECAUSE IT'S SO
IMPORTANT- WE KNOW THEIR
FRONTLINE HEROES BUT EVERYTHING
ELSE THAT THEY DO ON TOP OF THAT
SO WITH THAT. I STRONGLY URGE MY
FELLOW. THANK YOU SENATOR I HAVE
NEXT UP SENATOR WILL HOP
FOLLOWED BY SENATOR MEN BECKER
MENJIVAR. CENTER LOG. THANK YOU
PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES. IN THE
EARLY DAYS OF COVERED NINETEEN
PANDEMIC IT BECAME VERY VERY
CLEAR- JUST HOW INDISPENSABLE
HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARTURO TO
OUR SOCIETY AS A WHOLE. BUT I
ALSO JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT HOW
QUICKLY PEOPLE FORGET. THE FACT
THAT THEY ARE SURROUNDED BY
ILLNESS AND DEATH AND DISEASE
AND SO FORTH AND OFTENTIMES ARE
DEALING WITH PEOPLE IN THEIR
MOST TROUBLESOME TIME. ACCORDING
TO THE MIT LIVING WAGE
CALCULATOR IN ALAMEDA COUNTY THE
APPROPRIATE LIVING WAGE FOR
SINGLE PARENT RAISING ONE CHILD.
IS FORTY EIGHT DOLLARS AND
FIFTEEN CENTS PER HOUR FOR SANTA
CLARA COUNTY IT'S FIFTY THREE
DOLLARS AND THREE CENTS PER
HOUR. SO A TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR
MINIMUM WAGE FOR HEALTH CARE
WORKERS SEEMS TO BE AT LOOK AT
THE VERY LEAST WHAT WE CAN DO. I
RESPECT THE CONCERNS THAT THIS
MAY SET AN UNCOMFORTABLE
BENCHMARK FOR THE REGISTERED
NURSES WHOSE WAGES ARE MORE
ALIGNED WITH A LIVING WAGE. BUT
AT THE SAME TIME WE DIDN'T SEE
PEOPLE'S WAGES FALLING OUT WHEN
THE MINIMUM WAGE WAS INCREASED
TO FIFTEEN DOLLARS AN HOUR. AND
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ANYBODY
BEHIND ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE
ACTUALLY DOING VERY DIFFICULT
WORK IN VERY DIFFICULT
SITUATIONS. SO FOR THESE REASONS
I WILL BE VOTING I AND I AGAIN
THINK THIS SENATOR FROM LA.
THANK YOU SENATOR WILL HOBBS
CENTER MEN. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES- I SUPPORT
THE INTENT OF THIS BILL WE ALL
TALKED ABOUT ESSENTIAL WORKERS
DURING THE PANDEMIC- AND YET. WE
KNOW THAT IN ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITIES THEY'RE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS THAT. I STRUGGLE TO GET
BY I DON'T MAKE A LIVING WAGE-
THEY DON'T GET THE SALARIES THAT
WE KNOW THEY DESERVE- BUT- THIS
IS A BILL THAT IS VERY TROUBLING
A LOT OF WAYS FOR ME IT'S SO
BROAD IN SCOPE. GEOGRAPHICALLY I
HAVE DEEP CONCERNS AT THIS BILL
MAY AND UP CAUSING HEALTH CARE
FACILITIES- TO EXIT THE STATE TO
GO OUT OF BUSINESS. AT A TIME
WHEN WE NEED THAT COVERAGE WERE
TRYING TO TALK ABOUT UNIVERSAL
HEALTHCARE. ACCESS THESE ARE
IMPORTANT PRIORITIES FOR MANY OF
US- AND I WORRY ABOUT THIS BILL
AND A LOT OF WAYS- I'M NOT SURE
THAT. THE RIGHT WAGE FOR L. A.
COUNTY IS THE SAME AS FOR KERN
COUNTY- I WORRY ABOUT THE BROAD
SCOPE- TO. YOU KNOW SOME OF THE
COMMUNITY HEALTH CLINICS IN MY
DISTRICT THAT ARE AND ARE
STRUGGLING TO GET BY- I KNOW THE
AUTHORED THOUGH IS BEING.
FOCUSED ON TRYING TO MAKE THIS
BILL BETTER. I WE'VE HAD
EXTENSIVE CONVERSATIONS- I WISH
WE HAD MORE TIME TO SEE HOW THIS
BILL FALLS BUT THAT'S NOT THE
WAY THIS BODY WORKS WE HAVE TO
VOTE TODAY- AND I AYE. IN
CONVERSATION WITH THE AUTHOR I
KNOW SHE'S TRYING TO MAKE THIS
BILL BETTER SHE'S COMMITTED TO
ME. THAT SHE'S GOING TO TAKE A
LOOK AT REGIONALIZATION OF THIS
LOOKING AT. HOW TO MAYBE CARVE
OUT DISTRESSED HOSPITALS- MAYBE
NARAL PERHAPS- OR DEFINITELY
NEARING THE SCOPE OF THE BILL.
TO MAKE SURE THAT SOME OF THESE
NONPROFIT CLINICS IN AND OTHERS
THAT. MAYBE DOESN'T DON'T BELONG
UNDER THE RUBRIC- ARE EXCLUDED.
I'M STILL FOLLOWING THIS DEBATE
I HAVE NOT DECIDED THIS MOMENT
I'M GOING TO VOTE BUT I KNOW.
THAT THE AUTHOR IS COMMITTED TO
TRYING TO MAKE THIS BILL BETTER
AND- I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING
HER COMMENTS AND OTHERS AS WE
MOVE FORWARD. THANK YOU SENATOR
MEN CENTER BACKER. THANK YOU-
OUR HOUSE WAS CLEAR STRUGGLING
I'VE BEEN A LOT OF DEBATES. ARE
NOT TO BATES DISCUSSIONS ABOUT.
HOSPITALS ARE CLOSING AND
LEAVING THIS AREA. WERE AREAS
ARE LEFT WITHOUT HOSPITALS. AND
I THINK THIS BILL CLEARLY DOES
HAVE ISSUES THAT IF THIS. BILL
COMES BACK IN ITS CURRENT FORM
IF IT MAKES IT THROUGH COMES
BACK ON CONCURRENCE I WOULD NOT.
VOTE FOR IT IN ITS CURRENT FORM
- BUT I DO WANT TO GO ON
CONSIDERING I DO WANT TO
CONSIDER. KEEPING WORKERS AT THE
TABLE BY MOVING THIS BILL.
FORWARD WHY DO I SAY THAT. THERE
IS A LOT OF MONEY IN THE HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM. NOT JUST ONE
INSURANCE COMPANY JUST ONE
HEALTH CARE INSURANCE COMPANY
NATIONALLY. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
HAD SIXTY NINE BILLION DOLLARS
IN GROSS PROFITS. SEVENTY NINE
BILLION DOLLARS. GREW UP FOR
GROSS PROFITS IN TWENTY TWENTY
TWO. THAT SAME JUST ONE HEALTH
CARE COMPANY. HAD OVER TWENTY
BILLION DOLLARS. IN NET PROFITS
AFTER EXPENSES. IN BOTH OF THOSE
YEARS. I CURRENTLY WORK IN SYRIA
MCO TAX THAT WOULD RAISE I THINK
AROUND NINETEEN BILLION DOLLARS
NOT NOT THAT MONEY IS NEEDED BY
THE HOSPITAL'S CLEARLY. WE HAVE
TO RAISE MEDICARE RATES CLEARLY-
SET MONEY THAT MONEY IS NEEDED
BY POINT IS. THERE'S A LOT OF
MONEY. IN THE SYSTEM A ON. YOU
KNOW I KNOW THAT WHEN MY FATHER
WAS IN THE HOSPITAL. WITH BRAIN
CANCER. THAT I WAS EXTREMELY
GRATEFUL. AND NOT JUST TO THE
DOCTORS AND THE NURSES- BUT TO
THE WORKERS MOSTLY WORKERS OF
COLOR. THAT WERE TRANSPORTING
HIM THAT WORK KEEPING HIM SAFE
ARE MOVING. AROUND THE HOSPITAL
OR BETWEEN HOSPITALS- THE ONES
THAT WERE SANITIZED IN THE
HOSPITAL AND KEEPING IT SAFE.
FOR EVERYONE. SO WHILE WE FIGURE
OUT. HOW TO FIX OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM. BUT MORE BROADLY. AND WE
FIX IT HERE IN THIS STATE IN
THIS COUNTRY I WANT TO CONSIDER
KEEPING WORKERS AT THE TABLE
WELL WE HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SENATOR
BAKER NEXT UP I HAVE CENTER
MENJIVAR. I THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES AYE RISES
UP A TWEENER ON ON THIS ON THIS
BILL- AND I WAS LOOKING AT
THROUGH MY HAD ITS SHARE OF SUB
THREE. AND I AGREE WITH THE
COMMENTS FROM CENTER FROM
SILICON VALLEY WHERE. I'M WILL
BE VOTING THIS BILL TO ALLOW
THIS THE SENATOR THE AUTHOR OF
THIS BILL TO CONTINUE TO BRING
THOSE UP PLAYERS TO THE TABLE TO
TALK ABOUT THIS A MOVING FORWARD
BECAUSE- IN SUB THREE WE DID
TAKE ACTION AMANCIO MCO TAX. BUT
THERE'S STILL MUCH MORE
NEGOTIATION TO HAPPEN ON THE MCO
TAX WHERE WE DON'T HAVE THE
EXACT ANSWER OF EVERY SINGLE
DOLLAR AND HOW IT'S GOING TO BE
ALLOCATED. TO THE HOSPITAL'S YES
WE DID BOTH ON FUND MONEY GOING
TO HOSPITALS TO HELP WITH THIRTY
ART. TO HELP WITH THE INPATIENT
PSYCH BUT THERE IS A SECTION
THERE PER WORKFORCE ISSUES THE
HASN'T BEEN COMPLETELY HASHED
OUT. I ALSO HAVE BEEN TALKING A
LOT WITH THE AUTHOR AND THE
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL TO TALK
ABOUT MY CONCERNS BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT TO ADDRESS ONE
INJUSTICE BY CREATING ANOTHER
INJUSTICE. I AGREE WITH
EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN SAID BY
SENATORS- FROM LONG BEACH AND SO
FORTH THAT YES THESE ARE AT
INDIVIDUALS THAT NEED A LIVABLE
WAGES. BUT ALSO HE'S A COMMUNITY
CLINICS THAT SERVE THE SAME
INDIVIDUALS THAT DON'T HAVE THE
LIVABLE WAGES THIS ISN'T AN
ENTITY MOST OF THEM ARE MEDI CAL
ARTS SERVE MEDICARE PATIENTS SO
THEIR FUNDING COMES. FROM HOW
MUCH WE REIMBURSE- WE'RE DOING A
LANDMARK REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH.
THE MCO TAX BUT THAT'S JUST
GOING TO MAKE SOME COMMUNICATED
FROM SOME HOSPITALS HOLE IT'S
NOT EVEN GOING TO GIVE THEM THE
UPPER HAND. I HAVE A LOT OF
CONCERNS ON THIS BUT I TRUST
THAT THE AUTHOR IS GOING TO
CONTINUE. TO DO OUR DUE
DILIGENCE AND CONTINUING. HAVING
THESE CONVERSATIONS I ASKED THAT
WE ALLOW HER. TO HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS TO BE ABLE TO
ADDRESS THIS IN A MANNER THAT
WILL MAKE US FEEL MORE
COMFORTABLE AGAIN I AGREE WITH
THE SENATE WITH SILICON VALLEY
IF THIS BILL WERE TO COME BACK
TO US. IN THE SAME FORM I
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT
I'M GIVING THE AUTHOR THE FAITH
THAT SHE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION. I'M ASKING MY
COLLEAGUES TO GIVE THE SAME-
RESPECT. WILL HARD THIS DO
MOVIES. GOING A NONE OF US WANT
TO HAVE ANOTHER HOSPITAL CLOSE
DOWN. COMMITTEE CLUB CLINICS
CLOSED DOWN. IN A KNOW. SURE THE
AUTHOR COME BACK WITH SOMETHING
IT'S MORE DIGEST. WE CAN BUT
WHAT THAT BUT AGAIN. WITH THAT
WE GIVE HER THE ROOM A TO
CONTINUE HAVING THOSE
CONVERSATIONS THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR MENSCH OF OUR I SEE
FOR. ADDITIONAL MICROPHONES UP.
AT NEXT UP WILL BE CENTER
PADILLA FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
CAFIERO CORTESE AND DOLLY.
SENATOR PATEA FLOORS OR- THANK
YOU MISTER PRESIDENT. I WANT TO
THANK MY- DISTINGUISHED FRIEND
AND COLLEAGUE THE SENATOR FROM
LOS ANGELES. FOR BRING THE BILL
FORWARD AND I CERTAINLY.
COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND- THE
MOTIVATION THE INTENT AND THE
DESIRE TO ADDRESS WHAT IS A VERY
VERY COMPLEX MATTER- I THINK ALL
OF YOU KNOW MY COMMITMENT TO
ADDRESSING WAGE STANDARDS IN
THIS BODY AND TO REALLY HAVING A
SOBRE CONVERSATION AROUND WHAT
WORKING POVERTY LOOKS LIKE. NOT
TO MENTION DEALING WITH THE
UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES SERVICE
VALUE. AND DEMANDS OF THOSE THAT
ARE CRITICAL WORKERS IN THE
HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY. I WAS
PREPARED MISTER PRESIDENT TO
STAY OFF THIS BILL TODAY BUT IN
LIGHT OF THE AUTHOR'S. EXPLICIT
COMMENTS HERE ON THE FLOOR.
PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO
COMMUNITY CLINICS AND DISTRESSED
HOSPITAL SYSTEMS. I AM I AM
HAPPY TO HELP IT MOVE A GIVEN
YOUR ASSURANCES. THAT THERE WILL
BE ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TAKEN
IN THE OTHER HOUSE I WILL JUST
SAY THIS- I REPRESENT AN
INCREDIBLY DIVERSE DISTRICT THAT
IS COASTAL AND URBAN AND DANCE
AND WEALTHY- WHERE MANY OF THE
HEALTH CARE WORKERS. EITHER
MAKE- AND CERTAINLY NURSING- AND
OTHER SUPPORT SERVICES IN THOSE
SYSTEMS MAKE OR EXCEED THE
STANDARDS PROPOSED IN YOUR
LEGISLATION. I ALSO KNOW THAT
MANY OF THOSE SAME FOLKS IN
THOSE PORTIONS OF MY DISTRICT
CAN BARELY AFFORD EVEN AFTER
THAT. TO LIVE COMFORTABLY OR
PRODUCTIVELY ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE
THEY WORK AND SERVE ALL OF US IN
CRITICAL CIRCUMSTANCES. I ALSO
REPRESENT. AREA MY DISTRICT THAT
IS RURAL. AND EXPLOITED. AND HAS
AT LEAST TWO SYSTEMS. THAT ARE
ON THE VERGE OF BANKRUPTCY. AND
IF IN FACT THAT WERE TO OCCUR
THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE
STRANDED WHERE PRACTITIONERS ARE
DESERTING THE GEOGRAPHIC SERVICE
TERRITORY- WHERE THE SYSTEMS OF
DELIVERY ARE BARELY SOFTENED.
ARE OFTEN PEOPLE OF COLOR UNDER
INSURED UNINSURED AND MIGRANT
AND IMMIGRANT WORKERS AND I
KNOW- TO MY DISTINGUISHED
COLLEAGUE FROM LA THAT THOSE ARE
FOLKS THAT ARE ONLY CENTER. AT
IN YOUR AREA OF FOCUS. AND SO I
HAVE BOTH SCENARIOS OCCURRING IN
MY DISTRICT AND IT'S PROBABLY
REPRESENTATIVE OF MUCH OF WHAT
WE'RE SEEING THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND SO I
THINK WHERE WE ARE AT THIS
JUNCTURE IS. RATHER THAN STAYING
OFF I'LL HELP MOVE THE BILL BUT
I DO APPRECIATE THE SENATOR
BEING VERY EXPLICIT ABOUT THE
DESIRE TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY
CLINICS AND DISTRESSES STORMS.
IN THOSE VERY UNIQUE
CIRCUMSTANCES BECAUSE WE DON'T
WANT TO HAVE. THE WORST OF
POSSIBLE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
HERE WHERE WE STRAND FOLKS WHO
ARE ALREADY DISTRESSED. WITH
EVEN MORE DIRE SITUATION AN
INABILITY TO ACCESS ACCESS THE
CARE THAT THEY SO DESPERATELY
NEED. THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT.
THANK YOU CENTER PADILLA CENTER
CABALLERO. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT- THIS IS THAT A
DIFFICULT ISSUE FOR ME TO GET UP
AND SPEAK ABOUT. I STARTED OFF
THE YEAR. WITH A HOSPITAL
CLOSING IN MY DISTRICT. THAT HAS
DEVASTATED THE COUNTY MADERA.
THERE IS NO HOSPITAL IN THE
COUNTY ANYMORE. AND PEOPLE HAVE
TO TRAVEL THIRTY TO FORTY MILES
IN ORDER TO ACCESS HEALTH CARE
SERVICES BUT DOCTORS ARE LEAVING
THE COMMUNITY. THEY NO LONGER
WORK THERE WHY WOULD THEY LIVE
THERE. THE NURSES THE SAME THING
. WHEN YOU HAVE A HOSPITAL
CLOSED. IT'S DIFFICULT TO HAVE
THE COMMUNITY BELIEVE THAT IT'S
GOING TO OPEN UP AGAIN. AND THIS
HOSPITAL HAS CLOSED AND FILED
FOR BANKRUPTCY I HAVE ANOTHER
HOSPITAL I WAS JUST READING.
THEIR STAFF REPORT TO THE BOARD.
INDICATING THAT THEY WILL BE
FILING FOR ASKING FOR PERMISSION
TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY IN SAN
BENITO COUNTY AGAIN THE ONLY
HOSPITAL IN SAN BENITO COUNTY.
IS AT THE POINT THAT THEY WILL
CLOSE SO THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN
REALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART SINCE
JANUARY. EVERYTHING THAT PEOPLE
SAID ABOUT THE WORKERS IS
ABSOLUTELY TRUE AND I AGREED
THAT WE HAVE TO DO MORE FOR THE
WORKERS BUT TIMING IS
EVERYTHING. AND THE CHALLENGE WE
HAVE TODAY IS THAT WE HAVE WE
HAVE PUT A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS. IN THIS YEAR'S
BUDGET TO BE ABLE TO HELP
DISTRESSED HOSPITALS BUT- IF YOU
THINK THAT'S ENOUGH. I GOT A
BRIDGE I CAN SELL YOU IT'S GOING
TO GO LIKE THAT BECAUSE THERE
ARE FIVE OTHER HOSPITALS. THAT
ARE AT THE BRINK OF CLOSING AS
WELL. THOSE OF YOU THAT I HAVE
INVITED. TO MEET ON A REGULAR
BASIS WITH ALL OF THE- HEALTH
CARE PROVIDERS. KNOW THAT IT'S
IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND THEY THEY
HAVEN'T BEEN NAMED BECAUSE THE
MINUTE YOU NAME A HOSPITAL AT
RISK OF CLOSING PEOPLE START
LOOKING FOR OTHER JOBS IT'S WHAT
HAPPENED IN MADERA THE MINUTE
THEY GAVE THE NOTICE THAT THEY
WOULD. THEY WOULD RUN OUT OF
MONEY IN SIXTY DAYS WHICH IS
REQUIRED BY LAW. PEOPLE LEFT IN
THE HOSPITAL CLOSED RIGHT AFTER
CHRISTMAS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
WAY PEOPLE WE'RE GOING TO STICK
AROUND- IF THE HOSPITAL DIDN'T
HAVE RESOURCES SO HERE'S THE
CHALLENGE WE'RE TRYING TO COME
UP WITH A LONG TERM STRATEGY AND
HAVE BEEN. AT A BILL. IT WAS
MADE IT TO YOUR BILL IN A PROBES
. AND I GET THAT IT WAS MADE IT
TO YOUR BILL BECAUSE THAT THAT
GOVERNOR HAD A PROPOSAL WHICH HE
REVISED IN MAY AND THAT PROPOSAL
IS THE MCO TAX. THAT WOULD
PROVIDE RELIEF. HOSPITALS BUT
ALSO PROVIDE A WHOLE BUNCH OF
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE
OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. YEAH I
HAVE TO GO TO THE TABLE. IN
ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT IT THAT
MCO TAX INCLUDES WHAT'S
IMPORTANT IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
AND AND THE CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW
IS WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT DONE
OTHERWISE. MMHM THE HOSPITALS IN
MY DISTRICT DO NOT RECOVER. AND
A HOSPITAL OF THOSE IF YOU. WHO
WERE PART OF THE MEETINGS THAT
WE HAD. WELL NOT HAVE RESOURCES.
AND YOU CAN EXPECT TO GET THE
SAME NOTICES. OUT DO I BELIEVE
THE AUTHORS A GOOD AUTHOR
ABSOLUTELY DO I BELIEVE THAT
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM- TO HAVE. EMPLOYEES
THAT EARN A GOOD SALARY YES. BUT
RIGHT NOW FOR ME THE NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY IS ENSURING THAT WE CAN
HAVE RESOURCES IN A BUDGET THAT
IS VERY STRANGE. IN ORDER FOR US
TO BE ABLE TO KEEP THESE
HOSPITALS OPEN PROVIDING SERVICE
TO THE VERY PEOPLE. WHO WE KNOW
WE NEED TO. I WAS GONNA SAY
PROFESSED BUT WE KNOW WE NEED TO
TAKE CARE OF. OUR PEOPLE WHO ARE
ON MEDICARE AND WHO DESPERATELY
NEED MEDICAL SERVICES SO I'M
GOING TO BE LAYING OFF THE BILL
TODAY NOT BECAUSE I DON'T
SUPPORT WORKERS NOT BECAUSE I
DON'T THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
THEY GET- AT AN INCREASE. BUT
BECAUSE THEY NEED TO BE AT THE
TABLE AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
LONG TERM SOLUTIONS. AND THEY
THE AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
MAKE SURE THAT THESE HOSPITALS
CAN REMAIN OPEN AND SENTIMENT A
MESSAGE TO THE ADMINISTRATION
THAT WE'RE NOT PILING A LOT OF
COST ON HOSPITALS AT THE AT THE
POINT THAT MANY OF THEM ARE ARE
ARE GOING TO BE CLOSING SO- I
WON'T BE SUPPORTING THE BILL I'M
NOT ASKING YOU NOT TO I'M JUST
TELLING YOU THAT. IT'S A IT'S A
DIFFICULT POSITION TO BE IN BUT
THIS IS BEEN MY NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY THIS ENTIRE YEAR. I
MADE A PROMISE TO THE PEOPLE OF
MADERA AND I'M GONNA KEEP THAT
PROMISE- AND I CAN'T PUT ANY
ADDITIONAL COSTS ON ON A
HOSPITAL IT'S ALREADY CLOSE.
THANK YOU SENATOR CAFIERO NEXT
UP I HAVE SENATOR CORTESE
FOLLOWED BY SENATOR DOLLY AND
SENDER CIGAR TELECENTRE CORTESE
THE FLOOR'S YOURS. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I DO RISE IN SUPPORT
OF SB FIVE TWENTY FIVE- WITH
SOME RESERVATIONS SO I'LL BE
BRIEF BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO. A
PILE ON TO THE LONG LIST OF. OF
ITEMS THAT OF THE AUTHOR- WILL
BE WORKING ON IF IT GETS OFF THE
FLOOR TODAY IN THIS PROBLEMS TO
WORK ON WHICH HE- MADE. US SUCH
A BROAD STATEMENT. THAT SHE
WOULD WORK WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS- ONE OF THOSE
STAKEHOLDERS- THAT WE KNOW ABOUT
BECAUSE OF HER HEARINGS THAT
OCCURRED IN THE SENATE- IS- THE
UNIVERSE OF REGISTERED NURSES-
THAT ARE OUT THERE. I KNOW THE
AUTHOR IS ATTEMPTED TO WORK
SOMETHING OUT IN TERMS OF AN
AMENDMENT ALSO NOTE. THAT FOLKS
IN THE OTHER HOUSE WITH THIS FOR
THIS BILL GETS OFF THE FLOOR
TODAY ARE POISED TO. CONTINUE
WORKING ON THAT ISSUE AND I
THINK- I RAISE IT ONLY BECAUSE
THE- I THINK THE ISSUES ARE
LEGITIMATE IN THOSE AREAS WHERE.
OF THE WAGE ACTUALLY IS HIGHER.
THAN THAT SET FORTH IN THE BILL-
FOLKS DO NOT WANT THAT USED
AGAINST THEM IN CLASS
CLASSIFICATION STUDIES AND-
COMPARABLES AND OTHER THINGS
THAT COME ALONG BUT AGAIN I KNOW
THE AUTHORS- COMMITTED TO
WORKING ON THAT OUR- AS OUR OF
FOLKS- IN THE HEARING PROCESS
THE COMM- IN THE ASSEMBLY- I
WOULD ALSO SAY THERE WASN'T-
INTENDING TO SAY THIS BUT- I'M
NOT. A PARTICULAR PERSUADED.
WITH THE BANKRUPTCY ISSUE I
THINK- IF FOR THE FOR CENTER
FROM. WAS STILL HERE WHO IS
EXPERT IN THAT AREA WOULD.
PROBABLY SAY THAT- IF YOU WERE
GOING TO PRIORITIZE- ANYTHING IN
A BANKRUPTCY IT'S ALWAYS GOING
TO BE WAGES AND- I DON'T THINK
THAT IT'S WAGES THAT ARE.
CAUSING OF THOSE PROBLEMS TO
EXIST BUT- ON THE OTHER HAND-
THAT THE FIRST PRIORITY IN ANY
BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING SHOULD BE
PROTECTING OF THE WORKERS IN
THOSE ENTITIES AS SPOKES- LOOK.
LOOK FORWARD TO RESOLVING THOSE
ISSUES I THINK IT'S ALL OVER AND
OVER INCHES TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE'S NO BANKRUPTCIES IN THE
FIRST PLACE AND JUST TURN THAT
INTO A MOOT ISSUE. ABOUT WITH
THAT MISTER PRESIDENT- THANK YOU
AND- I WOULD URGE AN AYE VOTE-
SO THAT THE OTHER CAN CONTINUE
WORKING ON THE BILL. THANK YOU
SENATOR CORTESE. I NEXT UP I
HAVE SENATOR DOLLY. THANK YOU
MISTER MEMBERS AYE RISE I WANT
TO TAKE JUST A MOMENT AS AS
SOMEBODY WHO REPRESENTS FIFTEEN
COUNTIES AND MANY HOSPITALS. ALL
DIFFERENT KINDS OF HOSPITALS.
NONPROFITS DISTRICT HOSPITALS
FOR PROFIT PRIVATE. A PART OF
THE WORKING GROUP AND HAVE BEEN.
WORKING ON A HOSPITAL ISSUES FOR
A LONG TIME AND I KNOW THE
AUTHORS. VERY DEDICATED TO
WAGES. AND THAT'S IMPORTANT AND
WHEN WE SEE. IT IN OUT PAYING
TWENTY ONE DOLLARS AN HOUR AND
WE SEE HEALTHCARE WORKERS
GETTING LESS THAN THAT I'M
FRUSTRATED I THINK THAT'S WRONG.
BECAUSE THAT'S A PROFESSION WERE
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A SKILL
DIFFERENT THAN NOTHING AGAINST
FOLKS WHO WORK AT THOSE PLACES
BUT- BUILDING HAMBURGERS IS
DIFFERENT THAN. CLEANING
SOMEBODY'S ROOM OR GIVE HIM A
SHOT OR WE'RE TAKING CARE OF
THEIR THEIR NEEDS FOR HEALTH.
BUT WITH THAT I WANT TO SAY.
ALSO SOMEBODY WHO IS HERE DURING
THE LAST MCO TAX AND VOTED FOR
THAT TAX AND TO GO SHE DID. AT
THAT WITH THEN GOVERNOR BROWN-
WE THIS IS A HOLISTIC PROBLEM
THIS ISN'T JUST. A WAGE PROBLEM
THIS IS. WE HAVE SEISMIC GREG
REGULATIONS THAT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE PUT ON OUR
HOSPITALS. WE HAVE THE-
SPECIALTY HOSPITALS KAISER FOR
EXAMPLE WHO GOT A NO BID SPECIAL
DEAL FOR THEM THROUGH THIS
LEGISLATURE THE GOVERNOR DID IT
ON HIS OWN TO START WITH AND
RATIFIED. AND THEY BESTED THIRTY
MILLION DOLLARS THE GOVERNOR BUT
HAS A THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
THINK ABOUT THAT THAT'S A LOT OF
MONEY THAT COULD HAVE WENT TO
WHAT. WAGES BUT NO IT'S A
SPECIAL DEAL FOR THEM THEY'RE
THEY'RE ALL. BUT THOSE DISTRICT
HOSPITALS IN THOSE SMALL
HOSPITALS ARE NOT A WHOLE. WE
HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS REALISTIC
THERE IS A TRAILER BILL COMING
THROUGH WE'RE GONNA SEE AN MCO
TAX AND WHAT WE GET TO SEE. SO
FAR WHAT WE HAVE SEEN. IS THAT
SOME OF THAT MONEY IS GOING TO
GO TO HEALTH CARE WHEN YOU'RE
LOSING. TWENTY FOUR CENTS OR
TWENTY SIX CENTS ON EVERY DOLLAR
YOU SPEND THROUGH MEDICARE AND
MEDICAID. YOU CAN'T RUN A
BUSINESS LIKE THAT. THAT'S WHAT
IS HAPPENING THAT IS WHY SOME
HOSPITALS ARE GOING TO BE
DEVASTATED. BECAUSE YOU CANNOT
LOSE MONEY OTHER HOSPITALS HAVE
THE ABILITY. TO KASH SHIPPED.
MANY DON'T AND I AGREE THERE ARE
HOSPITALS THAT ARE MAKING A LOT
OF MONEY PAYING THEIR- THEIR-
CEOS. EXORBITANT AMOUNTS WHEN
THEIR HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE
MAKING LESS THAT'S WRONG. BUT WE
NEED TO LOOK AT THIS POLITICALLY
WE NEED TO DO IS THE RIGHT THING
WITH THE MCO TAX WE NEED TO
TAKE. THE MONEY THAT THE HEALTH
PLANS ARE ARE GOING TO PAY AND
PUT IT ALL INTO HEALTH CARE. NOT
50% OF IT AND PUT THE REST OF IT
THE GENERAL FUND WHICH IS
BASICALLY WHAT THE OPTION IS
RIGHT NOW. LET'S BE TRUE IF
WE'RE GONNA DO HEALTHCARE LET'S
DO HEALTHCARE LET'S PUT THE
MONEY THAT THE PLANS. ARE
DEDICATED TO PUT INTO THEM SO
ALL IN THERE. SO WE CAN AFFORD
TO. RAISE THE RATES. WE CAN HOLD
THOSE ACCOUNTABLE. THAT ARE
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE IN THE
GOVERNOR PICKING WINNERS AND
LOSERS. WE WILL NOT FIX THIS
UNTIL WE DO THE RIGHT THING
REALISTICALLY AND THAT IS. DO
MCO TAX. GIVE GIVE THOSE
HOSPITALS THAT. THEY HAVE NOT
DONE THEIR SIZE MAKE. SOME
RELIEF BECAUSE THEY- IF YOU IF
YOU'RE PROMISED. FIFTY DOLLARS
AN HOUR AND YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB
YOU STILL HAVE ZERO DOLLARS.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN MADERA.
YOU CAN BE PROMISED A 100% OF
EVERYTHING BUT IF YOU HAVE NO
JOB. IT DOES NOT MATTER. AND
YOUR COMMUNITIES GOING TO SUFFER
FROM THAT. I WILL NOT BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY UNTIL
WE LOOK. BROKEN AND THE
LEGISLATURE NEED TO STOP PICKING
WINNERS AND LOSERS. AN EGG AT
MAKING ADVANTAGES FOR SOME
HOSPITALS VERSUS OTHERS. I'VE
BEEN THROUGH THIS FOR A LONG
TIME WE'VE- OUR HOSPITALS IN THE
RULE ARIES. ARE BASICALLY. A
GLORIFIED EMERGENCY ROOM. IF
YOU'RE IN MODOC COUNTY. YOU HAVE
TO GO A HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES
TO HAVE A CHILD. TODAY. NOW 61%
OF THE HOSPITALS THAT I HAVE MY
DISTRICT THERE IS WAGES IS THERE
61% IS WHAT THEIR COST IS. IF WE
UP THIS. EVERY SINGLE HOSPITAL
REGISTERED WITH YOUR NONPROFIT.
WHETHER YOU'RE DISTRICT HOSPITAL
HAS CONTACTED ME AND SAYS THIS
BILL. WILL DEVASTATE THEM. SO I
CAN'T SUPPORT THIS TODAY WHEN
YOU HOLISTICALLY LOOK. AT OUR
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. AND NOT.
MAKE HOSPITALS ARE MAKING A LOT
OF MONEY MORE RICH WE NEED TO
BALANCE IT OUT AND DO IT IN CO
TAX IT ACTUALLY WORKS. OR WE CAN
HAVE A DOC'S ESPECIALLY SERVICES
IN OUR COMMUNITIES FOR THOSE
REASONS I WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS
BILL. THANK YOU NEXT UP IS
SENATOR C. ARTO FOLLOWED BY
SENATORS NEWMAN AND LAYERED
CENTER SAYING YOU MISTER
PRESIDENT AND- COLLEAGUES WE
WERE WE HAVE A PROBLEM. AND IT
WITH OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
RIGHT NOW AND IT'S RATHER
EVIDENT I THINK ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE OF ALL BROUGHT
IT UP- ONE OF THOSE PROBLEMS IS
THAT. A LOT OF OUR HOSPITALS ARE
STRUGGLING UNDER THE CRUSHING
REGULATIONS THAT IS ARE COSTING
THEM MORE MORE MONEY- SEISMIC
RETROFITS FOR HOSPITALS AND
ACTUALLY- OUTSIDE OF PRETTY MUCH
SEISMIC ZONES- ARE BEING FORCED
TO. SPEND A LOT OF MONEY IN
DOING THAT AND THEY'RE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THAT. WE JUST PASSED A
BILL JUST EARLIER TODAY THAT'S
GOING TO REQUIRE HEALTH CARE
WORKERS IN THOSE HOSPITALS- THAT
THAT WE WERE CLASSIFIED
HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE AND
ACTUALLY ADMINISTRATIVE WORKERS
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO MORE
REPORTING. AND THEY'RE GONNA
HAVE TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE TO BE
ABLE TO DO THAT. BUT IT'S NOT
JUST THE BIG HOSPITALS THAT ARE
BEING HURT BY THIS. BY THESE
CRUSHING REGULATIONS. ARE I HAVE
A CLINIC- THAT IS IN MY
DISTRICT- THIS SERVICE ABOUT
FIFTEEN HUNDRED. SPECIAL NEEDS
CHILDREN EVERY WEEK. AND THEY'VE
TAKEN ON THE BURDEN. OF SERVING
THE MEDIC CAL POPULATION WHICH
IS THE ONLY WAY FOR A LOT OF
THESE PARENTS OF THESE KIDS. TO
AFFORD TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE
KIND OF THERAPY THAT THEY OFFER
AT THIS CLINIC. THEY ALSO HAVE
TO HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT STAFF
AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. THE LOWER WAGE EARNERS IS
THE SUPPORT STAFF. BECAUSE THE
SKILLED POSITIONS ARE LIKE
PHLEBOTOMIST AND YES THEY GET
PAID ON THE LOWER SCALE OF THE
UPPER WAGES. THE MIDDLE THERE
ARE MORE MIDDLE WAGE TO LOWER
WAGE. BUT THERE ARE STILL UP IN
THE FORTY TO FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR A YEAR RANGE. RESPIRATORY
TAX THEY GET BETWEEN SEVENTY A
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
THEN YOU GET THE NURSES THE PA'S
AND ALL OF THOSE AND THOSE ARE
ALL SKILLED POSITIONS. AND WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS AN HOUR FOR
ANYBODY THAT IS ATTACHED TO A
HOSPITAL ANYWHERE THAT WORKS.
AND THE REASON THAT THEY'RE
AVAILABLE. TO WORK IS BECAUSE
THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE THAT
HAVE THE SAME. SAME ABILITIES.
TO FILL THOSE POSITIONS. AND
THAT'S HOW THE MARKET WORKS. IF
THERE ARE A LOT OF WORKERS
AVAILABLE FOR. ONE OR TWO
POSITIONS YOU WIND UP NOT PAYING
THEY DON'T GET PAID AS WELL. BUT
IF WE AB THIS COSTS TO WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH THE HOSPITALS NOW
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BIGGER
PROBLEM WITH OUR HOSPITALS. AND
I'VE WATCHED THIS HAPPEN BEFORE
. TRAUMA CENTERS THEY WERE GOING
TO BE THE OF THE NEXT BEST THING
. AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS AND I
GOT TO EXPERIENCE THIS MYSELF.
THE CRUSHING WEIGHT OF TREATING
PEOPLE. THAT WE'RE GOING TO
TRAUMA CENTERS. THAT WOUND UP
BEING. NOT INSURED AND NOT
HAVING INSURANCE. STARTED
COLLAPSING THE HOSPITALS THAT
WERE TAKING ON THE BURDEN OF
HAVING A TRAUMA CENTER. ROBERT
F. KENNEDY HOSPITAL CLOSED.
DANIEL FREEMAN HOSPITAL CLOSED.
AND THE OTHER HOSPITALS AROUND
IT THAT WERE DOING WELL AND
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT EARLIER
THE HOSPITALS ARE DOING THEIR
SOME HOSPITALS ARE DOING GREAT.
WELL THOSE HOSPITALS AREN'T
DOING AS GREAT AS THEY WERE. AND
IN FACT THERE'S HOSPITAL'S DOWN
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA YOU WOULD
NEVER THINK ARE IN TROUBLE. BUT
THEY'RE IN TROUBLE. SOMETIMES
OUR GENEROSITY COMPASSION.
EXCEEDS OUR ABILITY TO PAY AND
SERVE. AND UNTIL WE GET THAT
BALANCE WE CANNOT KEEP ADDING
GENEROSITY AND COMPASSION INTO
THE MIX. BECAUSE OTHERWISE.
WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY JOBS
WE'RE NOT GONNA HAVE ANY SERVICE
. AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
MEDICAL CARE. THAT'S HUGE. IF
YOU START COLLAPSING HOSPITALS
THOSE DOMINOES FALL QUICKLY. AND
IT'S HARD TO FIX. SO AS WHAT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BEAVER WAS SAYING
EARLIER. WE NEED TO FIX THE
SYSTEM FIRST WE NEED TO
STABILIZE. THE INCOME. WE NEED
TO STABILIZE THE FINANCES OF
THESE HOSPITALS. BEFORE WE START
ADDING MORE THINGS. LIKE EIGHT
BILLION DOLLARS INTO THE MIX. IT
WILL JUST CAUSE THEM TO COLLAPSE
EVEN FASTER. SO FOLKS I IMPLORE
US TO WAIT. ON THIS BILL. UNTIL
WE'VE FIXED THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM
SO THAT IT IS NOT IN DANGER OF
COLLAPSING. BECAUSE I GUARANTEE
YOU. WHEN ONE HOSPITAL GOES. THE
HOSPITAL NEXT TO IT WILL HAVE TO
TAKE ON THOSE BURDENS. IT WILL
CLOSE AND THEN. EXPONENTIALLY
THIS PRESS. AND WE WIND UP WITH
THE LACK OF SERVICE FOR EVERYONE
. SO THAT I ASK YOU TO VOTE NO
ON THIS BILL TODAY. AND LOOK FOR
WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR HOSPITAL
SYSTEM BEFORE WE ADD BURDENS TO
THE HOSPITAL SYSTEM THANK YOU
THANK YOU CENTER CENTER NEWMAN
FLOOR'S YOURS. THANK YOU MISS
PRESS AYE AYE SHE HADN'T PLANNED
ON SPEAKING BUT I DO WANNA I
WANNA SAYS HE MY COMMENTS-
ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH THE
COMMENTS OF. THE CENTER FOR
MADERA CENTER FROM THE SENATE
FROM REALITY- IT IS THIS A BY.
CONCERN AND I THINK THE CONCERN
AND THEY'VE ARTICULATED WELL IS
VALID- I RESPECT AND ADMIRE THE
AUTHOR- MORE THAN MOST I IN THIS
FIGHT AND APPRECIATE EXACTLY
WHAT SHE'S TRYING TO DO- AND I
AGREE. WITH ONE OF THE PROMISES
INCOME INEQUALITY IS A HUGE
PROBLEM FOR CALIFORNIA IN EVERY
SECTOR- BUT IS. TO MY COMMENTS
POINTS. IF WE TRY TO ADDRESS IT
ONLY WITHIN THIS SECTOR. NOW WE
RUN THE RISK OF A HOST OF
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES ARE AND
SO MY HOPE. IS THAT IF AND WHEN
THIS BILL COMES BACK TO THIS
HOUSE IN AMENDED FASHION THAT
WILL ADDRESS SOME OF THOSE
CONCERNS- BUT FOR THE TIME BEING
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO SAY OFFICE
BILL TODAY- EVEN WHILE
ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM SHE'S
TRYING TO SOLVE IS REAL. IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT BUT THE HOW IS
IMPORTANT AS THE WHY- AND I
THINK. WE SHOULD CONSIDER THAT
THANK YOU. THANK YOU CENTER
NEWMAN CENTER LAYER. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT. IN THIS DEBATE IS
BEEN ILLUMINATING FOR THE FACT
THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TALKING.
AT A HIGH LEVEL ABOUT WHAT WE
ALL SUPPORT. AND YET THERE ARE
SOME REAL SPECIFICS UNDERLYING
THIS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE OR
BREAK THE SITUATION AND I THINK
THE DILEMMA THAT WE ALWAYS HAVE
AS LEGISLATORS. IS THAT WE HAVE
BILLS THAT ARE ONE SIZE FITS ALL
AND YET. A LOT OF THE
INSTITUTIONS OR FACTS UNDERLYING
IT ARE DIFFERENT THE END THERE
WAS ONE STATEMENT MADE EARLIER.
COMPARING WHILE THE WAGES IN LOS
ANGELES COUNTY OR DIFFERENT.
THAN ANOTHER COUNTY AND YET. IF
YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE
INSTITUTIONS WERE TALKING ABOUT
WITHIN LOS ANGELES COUNTY
THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT WITH IN
THE COUNTY. AND DEPENDING ON
WHO'S SERVED AND WHAT THEIR MIX
OF PAYMENTS IS IN THE LAST YEAR.
WE HAD A PROPOSAL THAT BLEW UP
TO LINK THIS VERY MINIMUM WAGE
TO- ASSISTANCE FOR HOSPITALS AND
I THINK. THAT WAS A MODEL THAT
WAS NOT A BAD MODEL. AND ONE
THAT MIGHT IN SOME WAYS NEED TO
BE CONSIDERED HERE ANY FOR GOING
TO LOOK EXACTLY WITH REGARD TO
HOSPITALS. WHAT MAKES THEM- IN
TROUBLE IT'S A MIX OF THINGS
IT'S THE MIX OF PAGE THEY HAVE
IF THEY HAVE AN OVERWHELMING
NUMBER OF PUBLIC PAYS. THEY
DON'T GET THE REIMBURSEMENT AND
THE LEVEL TO COVER COSTS. IT'S
RURAL RATES FOR SADDAM THE
FEDERAL MEDICARE RATES. AT THE
RURAL LEVEL OR LOWER THAN URBAN
AREAS I KNOW IN MY HOME COUNTY
OF SANTA CRUZ WE HAVE THE RURAL
RATES EVEN THOUGH WE HAD ALL
THESE PEOPLE BUT COMMUTER
DISTILLER CON VALLEY JOBS AND-
TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO WE HAD
TO FIGHT AND FIGHT AND NOW.
WE'RE HAVING THAT FIGHT FOR
WATSONVILLE AND IT WILL HAVE
ANOTHER PLACES. AND THAT REQUIRE
SUPPORT TO BALANCE THE BUDGET
AND MAKE IT WORK AND THAT'S WHY
WE HAD THE REAL ANIMATED DEBATE
IN APPROVED A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS AND YET. LAST
YEAR. AND EVERYBODY THAT WAS
HERE LAST YEAR HELPS ME SAVE A
HOSPITAL. AND IT WAS WATSONVILLE
82% LATINO EVEN A HIGHER PERCENT
OF REDUCED AND FREE SCHOOL
LUNCHES AMONG THE KIDS THERE.
AND THE PROBLEM WAS A HEDGE
FUNDED BEEN RUNNING IT. THEY HAD
RENEGOTIATED THE RATES THEY HAD
AN OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF PUBLIC
PAY HE'S AND THEY DECLARED
BANKRUPTCY AND THE BANKRUPTCY.
ISN'T THE ISSUE ITSELF. IT'S
WHAT LEADS TO THE BANKRUPTCY.
END SO WHAT HAPPENED IS WE DID A
BILL HERE IN NINETEEN DAYS TO
CREATE A PUBLIC HOSPITAL
DISTRICT. OF THAT DISTRICT WAS
DAYS OLD WHEN THE BANKRUPTCY
COURT ACCEPTED THE BID. AND THEN
WE HAD SIX MONTHS TO RAISE SIXTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS WHICH WE
DID AND THE KEY THING IS. IS
TWENTY FIVE MILLION OF IT CAME
FROM THE STATE SO IF YOU LOOK AT
THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
THAT WE ALLOCATED. IT TOOK
TWENTY FIVE MILLION TO SAVE ONE
HOSPITAL OF WE LOOK AT A LIST OF
STRESSED ONCE IT TELLS YOU WHY
WHAT WE DID IS NOT GOING TO BE
ADEQUATE TO THE NAVY. AND THE
KEY THING IS ONCE THE HOSPITAL
CHANGED HANDS AS WAS PROTECTED
IN AN PUBLIC OWNERSHIP. THEY RE
NEGOTIATED THEIR PROVIDER
CONTRACTS SO KAISER PAYS MORE
BLUE CROSS PAYS MORE IN A WAY
THAT THAT HELPS THE MIX AND THAT
IS MOVE THAT HOSPITAL ON THE
ROAD TO SUSTAINABILITY LAST
OCTOBER THEY HAD THE FIRST PROP
FROM MONTH. IN SIX YEARS. AND SO
. NOW WITH THE M. C. TAK HAS UP
. IN THIS. AND IF YOU LOOK AT
THE SPECIFIC PROPOSAL THAT HAS
COME FROM THE GOVERNOR. IT'S TO
INCREASE IT. AND IT'S TO IT
WOULD OUT OVER NINETEEN BILLION
DOLLARS AND 60% WOULD GO TO
INCREASE MEDICARE RATES 60% OF
THAT OVER ELEVEN BILLION
DOLLARS. AND WHEN THE MCO TAX
WAS DONE BEFORE. IT JUST BUT
TRUST THE PROGRAM IT DIDN'T FLAT
OUT RAISE THE RATES. AND THEN
THE CONTROVERSIAL PART THAT WAS
MENTIONED EARLIER IS THAT. THERE
IS EIGHT BILLION THAT WOULD GO
TO THE GENERAL FUND. BUT THAT
SPECIFICALLY TO PROP UP THE
CURRENT META CAL PROGRAM AT A
TIME WHEN THERE'S A OVER THIRTY
BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET PROBLEMS
IT'S NOT LIKE IT GOES TO THE
GENERAL FUND. IT'S MAKING SURE
THAT WE UPHOLD THE MEDIC HOW A
SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE SORTS
OPPOSING IT IT'S ADDING TO THE
RATES. AND WE WILL HAVE TO DO IT
BY JUNE THIRTIETH BECAUSE OF WE
DO IT BY JUNE THIRTIETH WE GET
THIS QUARTER BACK TO APRIL
FIRST. AND SO THERE IS A REAL
DEADLINE FOR US TO DO IT THAT
DEADLINE DOES NOT MATCH WITH
THIS BILL. AND I THINK HE I HAVE
COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE
HAVE TO GIVE THE AUTHOR A CHANCE
TO WORK. WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT THE
MCO TAXES AND WE HAVE TO MENTION
AND WE HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION
IS IN THE IS THE MCO TAX. GET OF
GOING TO BE EATEN UP BY SOME
THINGS. OR IS IT A STEP AHEAD.
AND CAN WE STILL ADDRESSES
ISSUES NOW I WAS GOING TO ASK
THE AUTHOR A QUESTION. ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT SHE WOULD
EXPLICITLY COMMIT TO CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THE HOSPITAL ISSUE AND
SHE ANSWERED IT. IN HER OPENING
STATEMENT THAT SATISFIES. ME BUT
I THINK THAT. THAT WE REALLY
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO IT.
AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE MCO TAX ISN'T THAT A STEP
BACK IN THE RURAL AREAS TO MAKE
SURE THAT. THAT HOSPITALS ARE
ARE NOT PROTECTED BECAUSE THE
ONE THAT THE- SENATOR FROM
MERCED MANSION WILL BE HEADING
MY WAY IN THE NEXT
REDISTRICTING. THEY JUST VOTED
TO HEAD INTO BANKRUPTCY. AND THE
IS ALL THIS REFLECTS ON IT THIS
IS A GENUINE ISSUE THIS ISN'T
ABOUT ALL HOSPITALS BECAUSE THE
INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE
DIVERSITY OF MY SENATE DISTRICT.
IS I HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST
COST OF LIVING FOR HOUSING
PLACES IN THE UNITED STATES. IN
THE HOSPITAL IN THAT AREA A
CENTRALLY COMPLIES WITH THIS
BILL ALREADY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T.
RECRUIT PEOPLE I ALSO HAVE SOME
OF THE MOST RURAL. LOWER INCOME
PLACES AND THAT IS WHERE THE
ISSUE IS MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE
NOT. ADDING TO THE PROBLEM OF
KEEPING THE MEDICAL CARE GOING
IN THOSE PLACES AND SO. THERE
AMENDMENTS. INTERESTINGLY THAT
WERE TAKEN- TO SORT OF DEAL THIS
AND ARE NOT DELAY BUT
IMPLEMENTED ON DIFFERENT DATES
ACTUALLY MATCHES UP WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MCO TAX.
BUT I STILL THINK IT NEEDS TO BE
CALLED OUT. AND IN THE
NEGOTIATIONS THERE MIGHT WELL BE
A SPECIFIC CARVE OUT FIRST REST
HOSPITALS IN THE MCO TAX THAT
MAY WELL ADDRESSES WE WILL NOT
KNOW THAT BEFORE THE END OF THE
DEBATE ON THIS BILL. SO I THINK
THAT WITH THE AUTHOR PLEDGING TO
ADDRESS THIS WITH US A DONE A
FINE THAT IS AN ISSUE WITH US
LOOKING AT THE MCO TAX AND OTHER
THINGS AS SOMETHING THAT MIGHT
DO IT. WE HAVE A CHANCE TO MAKE
THIS WORK BUT IT IS TOO EARLY
AND IT DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE UP
WITH OUR VOTES NOW SO I'M GOING
TO VOTE FOR THIS BILL. JOSI OF
CAN AND THOSE ISSUES AND IN THE
TIME WHEN WE ADOPT THE MCO TAX
BEFORE JUNE THIRTIETH. AND US
SENATOR ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES
ONCE WE KNOW WHAT THAT ACTUALLY
MEANS IT MIGHT NOT BE ENOUGH WE
MIGHT STILL HAVE TO DO SPECIFIC
THINGS FIRST TRUST HOSPITALS.
BUT I THINK AS LAST YEAR WHERE
THERE WAS A DEAL. OF THAT BLEW
UP OF A MINIMUM WAGE AND THEN
SUPPORT FOR HOSPITALS WE HAVE
THAT OPTION THIS YEAR. IN THIS
BILL FORCES THAT OPTION IN A WAY
THAT WE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE ABLE
TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT WORKS
THAT OUT SO. I ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE AND WILL BE VOTING FOR THIS
BILL. THANK YOU CENTER LED BY
SENATOR CROWE FOLLOWED BY
CENTERS SKINNER BETTER GROWTH.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT YOU KNOW
I HAVE TO APPLAUD THE AUTHOR.
I'M I HEAR YOUR HEART IN YOUR
PASSION I FEEL LIKE I HAVE THAT
SAME THING FOR. MY SECOND
CANCERS PEOPLE OF COLOR THAT
WORK IN THE OIL INDUSTRY THAT I
TRY TO FIGHT TO PROTECT NOT ONLY
FOR THE EMPLOYEES. BUT BECAUSE
WE CAN'T LIVE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WITHOUT THE OIL
INDUSTRY AND I THINK THAT. THE
AUTHOR SHARES THE SAME HEART NOT
FOR THE SUBJECT MATTER. BUT THE
SAME HARDWARE SHE ADVOCATES ON A
DAILY BASIS. I'M FROM HER HEART
IN ADVOCATES FOR AN EMPLOYEE A
RIGHTS AND. INCREASED WAGES IN
THE STATE. BUT I ALSO THINK
THAT. THERE HAS TO BE BALANCE.
AND WITH THE PREVIOUS SUBJECT IN
MY DISTRICT AND ALSO WITH THE
SUBJECT MATTER. AND I STILL
EMPATHIZE WITH MY COLLEAGUES
COMMENTS AND MY COLLEAGUE FRIEND
AND MADERA. IN SALINAS BECAUSE
I. I'VE NEVER HAD TO GO BACK TO
MY CONSTITUENTS LIKE MY
COLLEAGUE FROM DEEPER MY
COLLEAGUES FOR MADERA. AND LOOK
THEM IN THE EYE AND SAY YEAH I'M
REALLY SORRY THAT I COULDN'T
SAVE THE ONLY HOSPITAL CARE THAT
YOU HAVE IN THIS AREA. AND THAT
YOU WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL NINETY
MILES. YOU KNOW THAT THERE WILL
NEED VERY WELL COME TRUE IF.
THIS DEAL ISN'T DONE FOR THE DAY
MCO TAX AND FOR THE TO
FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED HOSPITAL
BILLS. HELLO MY COMMUNITY WILL
HAVE TO DRIVE A HUNDRED ONE HOUR
AND FIFTY TWO MINUTES. TO HAVE A
BABY. TO DO A STROKE CARE HEART
ATTACK HERE. AND WE'RE GOING TO
DIE IF THAT HAPPENS DOLLARS TO
IT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO LINE MIKE
COMMENTS WITH MY COLLEAGUES FROM
MADERA WHO HAS WORKED VERY VERY
HARD ON. A BILL ON THE
FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS. THE PARKER C. OF THIS
WHOLE THING IS THAT THE
HOSPITALS. WHO ARE PROVIDING THE
EMPLOYEE PROVIDERS MEAN SURGEONS
DOCTORS ANYBODY WHO PROVIDE
SERVICES TO THE UNDERSERVED OR
HOSPITAL ARE PEOPLE SEEKING
HOSPITAL CARE IN OUR COMMUNITIES
THEY CAN OPERATE A BACKYARD.
THEY CAN OPERATE YOU KNOW IN
SOMEBODY'S OFFICE SPACE THEY
HAVE TO OPERATE IN A HOSPITAL IN
THESE HOSPITALS DON'T EXIST.
THEN THE PROVIDERS WILL LEAVE
THE AREA. TO THINK THAT YOU CAN
JUST. DO AN AUDIT AND SEE WHAT
GOES ON AND WATCH THE HOSPITALS
FAIL AND THEN TRY TO GO BACK AND
PIECE IT ALL BACK TOGETHER. THE
EMPLOYEES THE PROVIDERS
EVERYBODY'S GONE AND SO I DON'T
THINK THAT YOU KNOW HOSPITALS
THAT. THAT CLOSE ON OR GET IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY CAN'T BE
SAVED CAN BE RESTORED. AFTER
IT'S AFTER THE CATASTROPHIC
EVENT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. I
THINK ABOUT- THE MCO TAX THE
PLANS THEY HEALTH CARE SCHEME TO
THE TABLE HEALTH CARE PLANS CAME
TO THE TABLE. AND SAID. YOU KNOW
WE DID THE MCO TAX BEFORE-
EMITTED THE GENERAL FUND THAT'S
SOMETHING WE'RE NOT REALLY
INTERESTED IN THAT IF WE CAN
ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSE. THE ROOT
CAUSE OF THE FINANCIAL DISTRESS
THAT WE HAVE FOR OUR PROVIDERS
AND OUR HOSPITALS AND THOSE THAT
PROVIDE HEALTH CARE. I'M TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS WE GET ADDRESS THAT
THEY'RE WILLING TO COME TO THE
TABLE AND HELP SO TO THINK THE
PLANS FOR THAT. AND WE ALL KNOW
THAT THERE'S A PROBLEM THE
BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT WE FACE IS
THAT. WE PASS POLICY IN THIS
BUILDING MEDICARE FOR ALL HEALTH
CARE FOR ALL AND ALL OF THAT
SOUNDS REALLY GOOD BUT WHEN
YOU'RE NOT PROVIDING HEALTH
CARE. BECAUSE THERE'S NO ACCESS
TO CARE BECAUSE DOCTORS AND
PROVIDERS ARE NOT TREATING THOSE
INDIVIDUALS. IT'S NOT HEALTH
CARE FOR ALL WAITING SIX MONTHS
EIGHT MONTHS OR A YEAR TO GET
TREATMENT FOR SOMETHING IS NOT
HEALTH CARE. HAVING YOUR
HOSPITAL SHUT DOWN IS NOT HEALTH
CARE. IT'S THE PROVIDER
REIMBURSEMENT RATES THAT ARE
REALLY THE CATASTROPHIC ISSUE-
WE PASSED LEGISLATION SINCE I'VE
BEEN HERE IN THE SENATE JUST-
THE LAST FOUR YEARS. ALMOST FIVE
YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE I'VE
SEEN COUNTLESS PIECES OF
LEGISLATION GO THROUGH THIS
BUILDING THAT INCREASES THE
COST. OF DOING BUSINESS AS A
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER IN A
HOSPITAL SOME PEOPLE HAVE
MENTIONED SIZE MAKES SOME PEOPLE
OF ME YOU KNOW. NURSE RATIOS
THINGS LIKE THAT NURSE TO
PATIENT RATIOS SO ALL THESE
BILLS THAT GO THROUGH THIS
BUILDING CREATING INCREASED
COSTS FOR HOSPITALS AND-
PROVIDERS. IT IS VERY
FRUSTRATING WITH THE MCO TAX AND
I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S
BEEN ADDRESSED. I'M HERE IT'S
NOT PARTICULARLY THE BILL BEFORE
US. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MCO
TAX THE INFORMATION THAT I
RECEIVED WAS THE DEAL WAS TO
PROVIDE INCREASED. MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES FOR PROVIDE
FOR CODES. THAT WOULD ALLOW OUR
HOSPITALS AND OUR PROVIDERS TO
HAVE SOME TYPE OF. AN INCREASED
REVENUE. AND TO BE ABLE TO
OPERATE THEIR FACILITIES.
BECAUSE LIKE MY COLLEAGUE FROM
MADERA AND MY COLLEAGUES SITTING
IN FRONT OF ME THAT NOW JUST
MOVED TO BAKERSFIELD. THAT WAS
ALSO IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY. WE
HAVE A HIGH PROPORTION OF
MEDICARE RECIPIENTS SO LIKE- WE
AT DELTA IT'S NO SECRET THAT
THEIR NEXT ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
TO LOSE THAT HOSPITAL. WHICH IS
A LEVEL TWO TRAUMA CENTER SIX
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY BEDS AND IF
THAT GOES DOWN FRESNO WILL GO
DOWN THERE'S NO DOUBT IT'LL BE A
DOMINO EFFECT. AND THEY'RE DOWN
TO LESS THAN I BELIEVE FORTY
DAYS CASH. AND THIS BILL WOULD
INCREASE THE COST OF THEM DOING
BUSINESS TO THE POINT WHERE I
MEAN THEY CAN'T EVEN MEET THEIR
PAYMENTS NOW. AND THEY'RE YOU
KNOW APPLYING FOR THE
CATASTROPHIC LOAN. THAT WAS JUST
VOTED ON IN GIVEN AND THE
GOVERNOR HAS SIGNED. THEM WHICH
I APPLAUD THE GOVERNOR FOR YOU
KNOW WHEN DR GALLEON THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR PUTTING THAT
TOGETHER MY COLLEAGUES FROM
MADERA. IT WAS A HUNDRED AND
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS. IN LIKE
MY COLLEAGUE THE FORMER
SECRETARY OF NATURAL RESOURCES
SAID IT'S NOT A LOT OF MONEY
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW MANY
HOSPITALS ARE GONNA. THAT DO YOU
THINK ABOUT SOMETHING THIS ABOUT
BUDGET PRIORITIES. ARE HOSPITALS
HAD TO BEG PLEAD BORROW AND
STEAL TO GET S. BASICALLY. IN IN
AN ANALOGY. TO GET A HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS A DAY
COULD BORROW AT A LOW INTEREST
OR NO INTEREST LOAN AND THEN PAY
BACK OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. WE
DAHLE OUT TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION HERE FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION HERE TUNER MILLIONAIRE
YADA YADA YADA TO ALL THESE
OTHER ENTITIES. AND WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM THAT ISN'T BEING
SUSTAINED EITHER. BY THE
REIMBURSEMENT RATES AND LIKE MY
COLLEAGUES FROM BEAVER SAID.
EVERY TIME THAT YOU TREAT
SOMEBODY ALREADY OF REVERSE IT
IF YOU INVEST A DOLLAR. AND
EVERY DOLLAR THAT YOU INVEST AS
A BUSINESS OWNER WHETHER YOU'RE
IN ANY TYPE OF INDUSTRY WHAT SO
EVER IN YOU GET SEVENTY CENTS
BACK. IT'S A PATHWAY TO
BANKRUPTCY MORE PATIENTS YOU
TREAT THE MORE MONEY. YOU LOSE
SO. THIS BILL GREECE ME I
APPLAUD THE AUTHOR FOR PASSION
COMMITMENT TO THE LABOR
INDUSTRY. BUT THIS BILL- CREATES
NOTHING BUT ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT
OUR HOSPITALS AND OUR PROVIDERS
WOULD HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
NOBODY'S EVEN TALKED ABOUT THE
FACT THAT ONCE THE MINIMUM WAGE
FOR THE HOSPITAL'S GOES THAT
SALARIED EMPLOYEES HAVE TO HAVE
DOUBLE THE MINIMUM WAGE WHICH
INCREASES EVERYBODY'S PAY IN THE
HOSPITAL. ONE HOSPITAL THAT IS
FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED A SMALL
HOSPITAL IN EAST KERN
ANTICIPATES THAT IF THIS BILL
PASSES. IT WILL BE ANOTHER TEN
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ADDED TO
THEIR- ADDED TO THEIR A PAYMENT
STRUCTURE THAT THEY'D BE.
REQUIRED TO MAKE AND THE BOTTOM
LINE IS AT THAT HOSPITAL IF IT
CLOSES ONE HOUR FIFTY TWO
MINUTES TO THE NEXT HOSPITAL.
AND THEY ARE IN A POSITION RIGHT
NOW WHETHER LIMITING SERVICES
THEY'RE HAVING BOARD MEETINGS TO
LIMITED EDITION ALL SERVICES.
AND THEY HAVE APPLIED. FOR THIS
LOAN- PROGRAM. AND YOU KNOW BUT
IT'S TO DAMAGE IT. AND TO THE
OTHER HOSPITALS THAT I
REFERENCED THE BILL LIKE IT'S A
BANDAID BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
GET INTO THE NEXT FEW MONTHS BUT
THEN THEY HAVE A SEISMIC BILL
DO. AND SO THERE'S THESE ISSUES
THAT ARE BEING PLACED ON OUR
HOSPITALS AND OUR PROVIDERS.
LIKE IN THIS BILL THAT CONTINUE
TO INCREASE ACROSS COST AND WE
HAVE NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE FOR
MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENT RATES.
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AT HIGH
PROPORTION OF MEDICARE
RECIPIENTS AREAS LIKE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY WHERE ALMOST 70%
OF THE PEOPLE THAT WE SERVE RUN
MEDICARE OUT. AND THEY DON'T GET
THE PROPER REIMBURSEMENT RATES
TO BE ABLE TO TREAT INDIVIDUALS.
AND SO RESPECTFULLY- ASPIRIN NO
VOTE THANK YOU SENATOR. GROW
CENTERS SKINNER. THANK YOU
PRESIDENT. SOMETIMES WHEN WE
HAVE BILLS LIKE THIS. I DON'T
NECESSARILY REYES MY MIKE
BECAUSE I. THINK THEY ARE SOON
THAT MANY OF US HAVE ALREADY
MADE UP OUR MINDS IN THE FLOOR
DISCUSSION IS REALLY NOT GOING
TO AFFECT THAT. HOWEVER I RAISE
MY MIKE ON THIS BILL BECAUSE I
FEEL LIKE OUR FLOOR DISCUSSION
SHOULD. HELP US THINK ABOUT WHY
WE'VE TAKEN A POSITION. ON A
BILL. AND WHILE. SO I'VE HAD
SOME VERY IMPORTANT HOSPITALS
CLOSE IN MY DISTRICT. AND
GREATLY THESE WERE. THE
HOSPITALS THAT SERVED OUR LOWEST
INCOME PEOPLE. AND THEY CLOSED A
LOT BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT.
FUNCTION WITH THE MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATE. HOWEVER I'VE
ALSO HAD SOME NEW HOSPITALS OPEN
. AND THOSE HOSPITALS HAVE DONE
THEIR BEST TO AVOID SERVING. OUR
LOWEST INCOME PEOPLE. AND IF YOU
LOOK AT THE TREND IN HOSPITALS
THEY ARE BEING BUILT IN OUR
WEALTHIEST AREAS SO. IT IT IS
NOT JUST A FLAT OUT EQUATION
THAT THE MATH DOESN'T WORK FOR
HOSPITALS. IT IS WHAT WE HAVE TO
LOOK AT. IN I JUST WANTED
BACKING UP. THE SENATE
DEMOCRATIC BUDGET. IS CLEAR THAT
THE MCO TASK NEEDS TAX NEEDS TO
PRIORITIZE. INCREASING THE
REIMBURSEMENT RATE FOR OUR
PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS SO THAT
WE CAN ADDRESS THIS AND IT IS
SOMETHING I HAVE FOUGHT FOR IN
EVERY YEAR THAT I'VE BEEN BUDGET
YEAR INCLUDING BACK IN THE
ASSEMBLY. AND I KNOW THAT ALL OF
US WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR IT
BUT I WANT TO SEPARATE THIS
ISSUE. OF THOSE RATES WHICH ARE
CERTAINLY HURTING SOME OF OUR
HOSPITALS BUT I WANT TO RAISE
THAT MOST OF OUR HOSPITALS ARE
NONPROFITS. THEY GET A GREAT
BENEFIT FROM THAT NONPROFIT
STATUS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THEIR EXECUTIVE PAY. SO AND I'M
GONNA RAISE THIS BECAUSE WHEN WE
LOOK AT EXECUTIVE PAY ACROSS ALL
INDUSTRIES. WHAT HAVE WE SEEN
SINCE THE LATE SEVENTIES. THE C.
SUITE PAY HAS GONE UP OVER A
1000% I 1000% WORK S. SINCE THAT
SAME PERIOD. REGULAR WORKERS
PAYS EIGHTEEN. SO NOW LET'S LOOK
SPUR. AT HOSPITALS AND I THINK
EVEN THOUGH YOUR NONPROFIT
HOSPITAL THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE
WE HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THE
JONESES WE HAVE TO BE LIKE ALL
THE OTHER. INDUSTRIES AND KEEP
RAISING OUR C. SUITE HEY.
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT MEETS
OUR BOTTOM LINE. SO THE TOTAL
COMPENSATION FOR HOSPITAL
EXECUTIVES NONPROFIT HOSPITAL
EXECUTIVES ROSE 93% FROM TWO
THOUSAND AND FIVE TO TWENTY
FIFTEEN. 93% WERE ASKED THE
AVERAGE HOSPITAL WORKER THEY'RE
PAYING. 80% 80% SO DIDN'T MATTER
WHAT OUR RATES WERE WHAT WE
REIMBURSED THOSE NONPROFIT
HOSPITALS HERE STILL GOT A 93%
AVERAGE INCREASE. IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN BERNARD TYSON CEO OF
KAISER OUR LARGEST NONPROFIT
HOSPITAL SYSTEM IN. NOT ONLY
CALIFORNIA BUT- YOU KNOW PLEASE
PLEASE THE LARGEST HOSPITAL
SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA HE WAS THE
HIGHEST PAID NONPROFIT C. E. O.
IN THE US EIGHTEEN MILLION A
YEAR. SO WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS THAT
TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR HOSPITAL
EXECUTIVES JUST IN THE LAST
TWENTY YEARS. TWENTY TWENTY ONE
TO TWENTY TWO. ROSE FROM MINIMUM
OF 5% IN UPWARDS OF TEN SO I
THINK WE NEED TO SEPARATE THE
PAY OF THE AVERAGE WORKER FROM
OUR CONCERNS ABOUT THE OVERALL
HOSPITAL'S BOTTOM LINE AND
WHAT'S HAPPENING. YES WE NEED
HOSPITALS IN CALIFORNIA
ESPECIALLY IN THOSE NON
WEALTHIEST AREAS BUT WE NEED TO
DEMAND BETTER OF OUR HOSPITALS
AIRLINES. THEIR WORKERS DESERVE
A REASONABLE PAY AND ASK THE
AUTHOR QUOTED THIS PAY WOULD
ONLY BRING IT UP TO SOME FIFTY
THREE THOUSAND FOR THE WORKER.
WHICH THEY WOULD STILL QUALIFY
FOR BENEFITS WHICH WE MUST PAY
OUT OF OUR STATE FUNDS SO WITH
THAT I ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE ON
THIS MEASURE. THANK YOU CENTERS
SKINNER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION
ON THIS MATTER. AT FIFTEEN
SPEAKERS THANK YOU FOR THE
THOUGHTFUL DEBATE SENATOR RAZA
YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT AND I TRULY
APPRECIATE. ALL OF YOUR
COMMENTS- ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO
ME IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD AND
MAKE THE KINDS OF CHANGES IN
THIS BILL THAT WILL BE NEEDED.
WE'VE TALKED A LOT ANNA I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THAT WE
NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE
DISTRESSED HOSPITALS. THE ONES
THAT TRULY NEED OUR FINANCIAL
HELP. AND I STRONGLY SUPPORT
THAT AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO-
ADDRESS THAT ISSUE AS WE MOVE
FORWARD IF YOU GIVE ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD. I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE
TALK ABOUT THE DISTRESSED
HOSPITALS WE TALK ABOUT THE
DISTRESSED WORKERS. THE
DISTRESSED WORKERS WHO ARE NOT
MAKING THAT. THE DISTRESSED
WORKERS WHO ALSO DESERVE THE
OPPORTUNITY. TO LIVE IN A DECENT
WAY AND RAISE THEIR KIDS IN A
DECENT WAY SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT I DIDN'T START THIS THIS
BILL OUT I'VE BEEN INTRODUCED
THIS BILL TO ADDRESS DISTRESS
HOSPITALS. YOUR OTHER BILLS TO
ADDRESS THAT AND THEY SHOULD.
AND WE SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE. WE
SHOULD BE SUPPORTIVE OF A BILL
THAT HELPS DISTRESSED HOSPITALS.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I STARTED OUT
WITH IN THIS BILL. THIS BILL IS
ABOVE THE DISTRESSED WORKERS. OF
COURSE THE OTHER ISSUE COMES UP
I UNDERSTAND THE CONNECTION
THAT'S THAT'S BEING MADE. BUT
THIS BILL. WON'T THAT WON'T.
SOLVE ALL OF THE ISSUES IN OUR
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IT'S MUCH
BIGGER AND MUCH MORE
COMPLICATED. SO I'M TRYING TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF DISTRESSED
WORKERS. TO GET AWAY FROM IT
BEING A FALSE CHOICE OF ONE OF
MY COLLEAGUES MENTIONED YOU KNOW
THE ENVIRONMENTAL. ISSUES A
CERTAIN INDUSTRIES SOMETIMES WE
GET PUT INTO THE POSITION OF YOU
EITHER CHOOSE A CLEAN
ENVIRONMENT OR YOU CHOOSE. GOOD
LABOR STANDARDS. WE DON'T HAVE
TO FACE OUR ISSUES THAT WAY. WE
HAVE TO FACE OUR ISSUES IN A WAY
THAT INCORPORATES THEM AND MAKES
A HOLISTIC APPROACH AS SOMEONE
SAID. SO I HOPE WE DON'T BOW TO
BASED ON ITS EITHER ONE OR THE
OTHER. IT CAN'T BE ONE OR THE
OTHER IT'S GOT TO BE BOTH SO I
ASK AGAIN FOR YOUR SUPPORT SO
THAT WE CAN ADDRESS THE ISSUES.
ON DISTRESSED HOSPITALS TRULY
THE ONES WHO CANNOT AFFORD THE
ONES WHO OF THOSE THEN MARGINS
ARE LOCATED IN RURAL AREAS THAT
ARE HAVING. PROBLEMS THE
PARTICULAR NEEDS OF CLINICS AND
THE TIMING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
THIS WAGE INCREASE WITH ALL OF
THAT I TRULY APPRECIATE ALL OF
YOUR COMMENTS. TAKING NOTES- AND
I WILL DO MY BEST IF YOU ALLOW

BY CENTER SKINNER INOCULATING TO
FIREARMS CENTER SKINNER THE
FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU SO MUCH
MISTER PRESIDENT MEMBERS-
RECENTLY THE FEDERAL ALCOHOL
TOBACCO AND FIREARMS BUREAU.
SANTA CIRCULAR TO CALIFORNIA'S
PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES ALERTING
THEM TO WHAT THEY EXPRESSED
RESERVOIRS INCREASE IN LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SELLING OFF
ROSTER OR ILLEGAL FIREARMS. FOR
THEIR PERSONAL GAIN IN OTHER
WORDS FOR PROFIT- RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE EXISTING LAW THAT ALLOWS
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO BUY
WHAT OTHERWISE NO ONE ELSE IN
CALIFORNIA'S LED BY. THESE
ILLEGAL FIREARMS- BUT IT WAS
ALWAYS CONSIDERED THAT THOSE
WITH THAT THE REASON WAS FOR
PARTICULAR. LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
PUBLIC SAFETY PURPOSES NOT THAT
WE WOULD HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICIALS PURCHASING OR
ACQUIRING THESE ILLEGAL FIREARMS
AND THEN IN EFFECT SELLING THEM
AND VIOLATING IN IN EFFECT
GETTING PASSED OUR LAWS. SO SB
THREE SEVENTY SEVEN ADDRESSES
THE FEDERAL ATF'S CONCERN BY
CLOSING THE LOOPHOLE THAT ALLOWS
OUR FLOOR ENFORCEMENT TO
PURCHASE THESE OTHERWISE ILLEGAL
FIREARMS. AND SECONDLY IT ALLOWS
CALIFORNIA'S DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE TO INSPECT FIRE ARMS
DEALERS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH OUR
FIREARMS LAW BECAUSE SOMETIMES
IT WAS THAT THOSE WERE SOLD TO
DEALERS. AND IT ALLOWS THEM TO
INSPECT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
IS NOT HAPPENING WITHIN THOSE
DEPARTMENTS NOW LET ME BE CLEAR.
THIS BILL SB THREE SEVEN SEVEN
DOES NOT PREVENT OR INTERFERE
WITH THE AGENCY THE DEPARTMENT
THE LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENTS
ABILITY TO PURCHASE THESE OFF
ROSTER FIREARMS FOR THE
DEPARTMENTS USE SO THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT IS STILL RETAINS.
IT IS ONLY INDIVIDUAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS FROM BEING
ABLE TO BUY THESE AND WITH THAT

SECRETARY PLEASE READ. SENATE
BILL FOR FORTY BY SENATOR
SKINNER ENACT WILLING TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENT CENTERS GOING TO THE
FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU SO
MUCH MISTER PRESIDENT MEMBERS I
BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW. WHAT ARE
THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO GETTING
THE HOUSING THAT IS MORE
AFFORDABLE WHETHER FOR LOW
INCOME PEOPLE ARE FIRM ARM WHAT
THEY CALL MISSING MIDDLE FOR OUR
WORKFORCE FOR TEACHERS FOR
NURSES FOR. YOU KNOW EVERYBODY
THAT'S A IN THE KIND OF TYPICAL
HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN OUR STATE
THAT KIND OF HOUSING NEEDS SOME
LEVEL OF PUBLIC SUBSIDY. IT OF
COURSE WE ACHIEVE SOME OF THAT
THROUGH THINGS LIKE OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS DENSITY BONUSES
IMPACT FEES VARIOUS THINGS. BUT
WE CAN'T RELY ALONE ON. MARKET
RATE HOUSING TO ACHIEVE THIS
ISSUE OF GETTING US HOUSING THAT
IS MORE AFFORDABLE. SO WHAT THIS
BILL DOES SB FOUR FORTY. IS IT
EMPOWERS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHO
CHOOSE WHO WANT TO WORK TOGETHER
WHETHER IT'S A COUNTY IN A FEW
CITIES SOME CITIES YOU KNOW OUR
NUMBER CITIES. WHO WANT TO WORK
TOGETHER TO COOPERATE. TO GET
MECHANISMS TO FINANCE HOUSING TO
ACQUIRE LAND AND TO BASICALLY
ADD TO THE NEEDED HOUSING. IT
ALLOWS THEM TO CREATE REGIONAL.
HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITIES. NOW
WHEN YOU HEAR THAT WORD
FINANCING I WANT TO BE CLEAR
THIS DOES NOT OVERRIDE ANY LOCAL
CONTROL. ANY FINANCING
MECHANISMS SUCH A REGIONAL
HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITY WOULD
HAVE TO PURSUE THEY WOULD STILL
HAVE TO FOLLOW WHATEVER THE
LOCAL RULES IN THE STATE LAW.
VOTER APPROVAL AT WHATEVER VOTER
THRESHOLD. THIS IS JUST
RIDICULOUS. OTHER STOPS THE NEED
FOR WHICH- THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO HAVE TO COME TO US FOR ONE
OFF LEGISLATION TO ALLOW THEM TO
PURSUE SUCH A THING. AND RIGHT
NOW INTERESTINGLY WHEN I WAS-
WORKING WITH DIFFERENT
STAKEHOLDERS TO PUT TOGETHER
THIS BILL I WAS THINKING THAT
OUR MORE URBAN AREAS OR
JOBCENTRE AREAS WE'RE GOING TO
BE THE ONES WHO WOULD MOST
JUMPED TO IT. BUT I'M FINDING
NOW THAT IT'S OUR RURAL AREAS
THAT ARE COMING FORWARD AND
SAYING THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE
NEED TO EXIT FOR EXAMPLE. THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE TAHOE
REGION HAVE SAID THIS IS EXACTLY
WHAT WE NEED BECAUSE- ALL OF OUR
OUR SKI INDUSTRY OUR HOTEL
INDUSTRY THERE ARE MANY WORKERS.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE WORKERS NOW
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T LIVE HERE AND
WE NEED TO HELP THEM GET HOUSING
SO WE NEED THIS SO ANYWAY. AS I
MENTIONED IT DOES NOT OVERRIDE
LOCAL CONTROL IT JUST GIVES THE
ENABLING FOR THOSE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WHO WANT TO COME
TOGETHER TO FORM REGIONAL
HOUSING FINANCE AUTHORITIES AND
WITH THAT I ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU CENTER SKINNER

THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT SB FIVE
SIX SEVEN ASSEMBLY ENSURES THAT
THE CALIFORNIA TENANT PROTECTION
ACT OF TWENTY NINETEEN IS
ENFORCEABLE THE BILL BEFORE YOU
TODAY IS A PRODUCT OF CAREFUL
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CHAIR OF
THE SENATE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
AND REFLECTS OUR MUTUAL
AGREEMENT ON AMENDMENTS THE BILL
HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY NARROWED
SINCE INTRODUCTION MAKES NO
CHANGE TO THE EXISTING STATEWIDE
LIMITS ON RENT INCREASES WHAT
REMAINS ARE PROVISIONS TO ENSURE
THAT THE CRITICAL TENANT
PROTECTIONS NEGOTIATED IN TWENTY
NINETEEN ARE ENFORCEABLE. IT
ENSURES TENANTS CAN ADEQUATELY
ADEQUATELY AND FORCE THEIR
RIGHTS WHILE ALSO ALLOWING STATE
AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT WITHIN
WHOSE JURISDICTION THE RENTAL
UNIT IS LOCATED TO BRING ACTIONS
FOR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF THE
MEASURE ALSO ESTABLISHES
REASONABLE REQUIREMENTS TO
ENSURE THAT THE LANDLORDS
SEEKING TO EVICT THE TENANT FOR
NO FAULT. IS DOING SO IN GOOD
FAITH AND FOLLOWING THE RULES
COLLEAGUES WE ARE ALL FEELING
THE IMPACT OF THE HOMELESS
CRISIS IN OUR DISTRICTS WE KNOW
THAT MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
BECOMING UN HOUSED. AT AN
ACCELERATED RATE AND WE ARE
UNABLE TO PROVIDE SHELTER. THE
NUMBER OF CALIFORNIANS
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS HAS
GROWN ENORMOUSLY TO ADDRESS THE
ADDRESS THIS CRISIS PART OF WHAT
WE HAVE TO DO IS STOP THE FLOW
OF FAMILIES AND PEOPLE INTO
HOMELESSNESS. THAT IS WHY IT IS
SO IMPORTANT THAT OUR STATEWIDE
TENANT PROTECTIONS ARE
ENFORCEABLE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR DRAWS SO I SEE A
MICROPHONE UP FOR CENTER JONES.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS I- RISES- IT IN
OPPOSITION OF SB FIVE SIXTY
SEVEN WOULD ASK FOR A NO VOTE. A
LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS AGO THIS
LEGISLATURE PASSED AB FOURTEEN
EIGHTY TWO WHICH BECAME LAW.
WHICH REQUIRED OWNERS AT THAT
POINT TIME TO SERVER THIRTY OR
SIXTY DAY NOTICE TO TERMINATE TO
TERMINATE A TENANCY WITH NO
BECAUSE- THIS BILL WILL CHANGE
THAT LINE A LITTLE BIT- AND THEN
NOW WILL. REQUIRE PROPERTY
OWNERS TO GIVE A VERY SPECIFIC
REASON FOR TURNING INTENDANCY
AND THEY MUST PROVIDE IMPROVE IN
SOME CASES FOR THAT. FOR THAT
TERMINATION. SO SENATE BILL FIVE
SIXTY SEVEN AND IN THAT WILL
AFFECT SMALL. OWNERS MOSTLY. AND
MANY OF THEM WILL NEVER BE ABLE
TO MOVE INTO THEIR OWN HOMES NOR
THEY BE ABLE TO MOVE INTO A
FAMILY MEMBERS HOME. AND WITH
THE FOUR MONTH NOTICE REQUIRED
BEFORE SELLING THEIR HOME MANY
HOMEOWNERS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME
SELLING THEIR HOMES OR THEIR
BUILDINGS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT THIS BILL WILL AFFECT. OUR
SMALL RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS THE
MOST. OWNERS WITH LARGE
BUILDINGS TYPICALLY DON'T TAKE
THEIR BUILDINGS OFF THE MARKET
NOR DO THEY NEED TO MOVE A TEN
OUT IN ORDER TO MOVE ONE INTO
THE UNITS. THIS BILL GOES A
LITTLE BIT TOO FAR AND I'D ASK
FOR A NO VOTE ON SB FIVE SIXTY
SEVEN. CENTER WILL HAVE. THANK
YOU I ACTUALLY JUST DO ONE
APPRECIATE THE SENATOR FROM LA
FOR BRING THIS FORD- WE TALK
ABOUT HOUSING OFTEN AND I WILL
SAY AND I'VE SAID THIS. MANY
MEMBERS ARE READY THAT HOUSING
AND HOMELESSNESS IS THE NUMBER
ONE ISSUE OF THE MAJORITY OF
CITIES. WE SEE A RISING HOMELESS
CRISIS WE ALSO SEE THAT THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE BEING
EVICTED FROM THEIR HOMES ARE
ACTUALLY SENIORS ARE LARGEST
GROWING HOMELESS POPULATION OUR
SENIORS- IT IS EXPECTED TO HAVE.
TRIPLED BY THE TIME OF TWENTY
THIRTY THESE ARE OUR
GRANDPARENTS OUR PARENTS AND
MUCH MORE. THIS DOES NOT TOUCH
THE ELLIS ACT NUMBER ONE AND
NUMBER TWO IS THE FACT THAT YES
WE TALK ABOUT A BILL THAT WAS
PASSED FOUR YEARS AGO. THAT BILL
DIDN'T GO FAR ENOUGH. THAT'S THE
HONEST TRUTH. THAT IS WHY WE ARE
STILL SEEING THE RISING AND
GROWING HOMELESS CRISIS WE ARE
STILL SEEING RENTS SKYROCKET WE
ARE SEEING PEOPLE LEAVE THE
STATE. BECAUSE HOUSING IS
UNAFFORDABLE WE NEED TO KEEP
PEOPLE HOUSED FOR LONGER PERIODS
OF TIME IT IS CHEAPER MORE
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. AND FROM A
HUMAN PERSPECTIVE MORE
RESPONSIBLE TO ENSURE THAT
PEOPLE ARE HOUSED FOR A LONGER
PERIOD OF TIME THIS BILL DOES
THAT AND AGAIN I DO ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE I DO SUPPORT THIS BILL
THANK YOU. THANK YOU I CENTER
WHAT BY A CENTER- BURGER THAN
CENTER MAN CENTER ON BURKE-
THANK YOU COLLEAGUES. MISTER
PRESIDENT- I DID NOT SUPPORT
FOURTEEN EIGHTY TWO WHICH WAS
THE SEVEN MEMBER CHIU BILL-
THAT. THIS BILL SEEKS TO ENFORCE
I DO SUPPORT. THIS BILL. I DO
SUPPORT THIS BILL BECAUSE- ARE
CALLING FROM LOS ANGELES DID
WORK DILIGENTLY AND IN GOOD
FAITH. TO LIMIT THE BILL
DRAMATICALLY LIMITS THE BILL IN
TERMS OF. LIMITING THE PROVISION
THAT REDUCES RENT CONTROL
MAXIMUM FROM 10% 25% THE
IMMEDIATE VESTING OF TENANT
RIGHTS IN A NUMBER OF OTHER WAYS
. A ALSO I MISS PORTER NOTED
THAT THAT SMALL LANDLORDS ARE
NOT INCLUDED IN THE BILL NOR IN
THE ORIGINAL BILL. THERE ARE
SOME STILL THEIR ISSUES AS A
SURPLUS PORT OF THEIR ISSUES
THAT STILL NEED TO BE. DISCUSSED
STILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND
LET ME JUST OUTLINED THOSE
ISSUES AND THEN WITH COMMISSION
THE CHAIR A QUESTION TO THE
AUTHOR CONCERNING THOSE THREE
ISSUES LET ME OUTLINE THOSE
THREE ISSUES BRIEFLY. NUMBER ONE
CURRENTLY THE BILL SAYS FOR AN
OWNER TO TERMINATE A TENANCY TO
ALLOW A FAMILY MEMBER IS TO FIND
TO MOVE INTO THAT UNIT. THAT
THAT THE OWNER IS DEFINED AS AN
INDIVIDUAL A 51% OWNERSHIP IT'S
BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION
THAT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE
SO FOR EXAMPLE IN HERE TO PROPER
THERE MAYBE THREE OWNERS OF
THREE SIBLINGS FOR EXAMPLE. IN
HERE AT THE PROPERTY THUS THERE
WOULD NOT BE AN INDIVIDUAL OWNER
OF 51% OWNERSHIP ONE SUGGESTION
IS TO MAKE IT A COLLECTIVE.
BASICALLY A COLLECTIVE AMOUNT
SEEKING OR OBTAINING THE
MAJORITY 51% IN ORDER TO AFFECT
THAT. THAT RIGHT THAT
TERMINATION ANOTHER ISSUE IS IN
TERMS OF REHABILITATION WHEN
THERE'S BEEN A UNIT THAT FOR
EXAMPLE HAS SOME SORT OF ISSUE
PLUMBING ISSUE ELECTRICAL ISSUE
THAT REQUIRES THE TENANT TO
LEAVE. FOR THIRTY CONSECUTIVE
DAYS. THAT RIGHT NOW THE LAW AS
WRITTEN REQUIRES A PERMIT
PERHAPS PERMITS NOT REQUIRED THE
TRUTH. THE PROOF IS IN THE
PUDDING IF THE ACTUAL
REHABILITATION HAS BEEN DONE-
AND THAT IS TO BE ADDRESSED AND
THEN THIRDLY IS THERE MAY BE AN
ERROR WITH RESPECT TO WHETHER OR
NOT A UNIT TAKEN OFF THE MARKET
CAN NEVER BE PUT. BACK ON THE
MARKET AND THAT NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED. ALL THOSE THINGS ARE
ARE NOT INFIRMITIES THAT SHOULD
PREVENT US FROM SUPPORTING THE
BILL TODAY BUT THEY'RE ALL
ISSUES THAT MIGHT ASK THE
AUTHOR. IS THE WEATHER- YOU'VE
YOU'VE YOU'VE EXAMINE THOSE
ISSUES ARE AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THOSE ISSUES IT AS- THIS
BILL MOVES TO THE ASSEMBLY.
CENTER DRAWS OF THE TAKE A
QUESTION YES OKAY I THINK THE
QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED OF WHAT
THE OPPORTUNITY ANSWERED NOW.
OKAY AND ONE FOLLOW THE RULES
HERE- YES AND I AND I- THANK.
THE SENATOR. FOR ALL THE WORK
THAT YOU PUT IN TO. IT WAS ALL A
LOT A LOT OF WORK- IGNORE NUMBER
HOURS AND- AFTER WE REACH THAT
AGREEMENT ON THOSE AMENDMENTS.
YOU RAISE THESE. ISSUES AS YOU
JUST DESCRIBED I'VE STARTED TO
LOOK INTO THOSE ISSUES AND I
WILL CONTINUE. TO LOOK AT THOSE
ISSUES IN THE NEXT HOUSE. ALL
RIGHT. ALL RIGHT UP. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I REGION AYE VOTE
THANK YOU CENTER- BURKE. AT
SENATOR OUT- ANYONE ELSE WISHING
TO SPEAK ON THIS MATTER ANYONE
ELSE. WILL BE CLOSE THE DEBATE.

TO TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY
CENTER ALONE. THANK YOU
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES IN ADDITION
TO ALL THAT CALIFORNIA HAS DONE
TO ADDRESS THE HOUSING CRISIS
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE ALSO
CONSIDER MODEL IN WHICH THE
GOVERNMENT PLAYS A GREATER ROLE
IN BUILDING AND REHABILITATING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS.
THAT ARE PUBLICLY OWNED AND
FINANCE I'VE HEARD REPEATEDLY
FROM MY LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOR
YEARS BUT THEY NEED AN ONGOING
FUNDING SOURCE TO ME OUR HOUSING
GOALS ESPECIALLY FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THIS BILL CREATES A
STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT ON SHORT
TERM RENTALS SB EIGHT FIVE
EIGHTY FOUR WILL PROVIDE A
BUDGET PROOF SOURCE OF INCOME
FOR MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
THAT CALIFORNIA DESPERATELY
NEEDS. I'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF
MEMBERS ABOUT THE BILL AND
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
DISCUSSIONS AS THIS BILL MOVES
FORWARD AND WILL CONTINUE TO
HAVE A AS WE MOVE THIS BILL
FORWARD. SOME OF THOSE ITEMS
INCLUDE THINKING ABOUT THE VALUE
THAT CITIES HAVE IN POTENTIALLY
RECEIVING SOME OF THE FINDINGS.
ADDITIONALLY TALKING OR THINKING
THROUGH THE IDEA OF CENTRALIZED
COLLECTION COLLECTION MECHANISM.
AND WHILE WE SPENT THE MOST TIME
TALKING ABOUT THE ASSESSMENT-
AND THE FEE WE ALSO KNOW THAT WE
NEED TO START SOMEWHERE AND WE
NEED TO HAVE THE OPPOSITION AT
THE TABLE IN ORDER TO MOVE
FORWARD TO DETERMINE WHAT. IS
THE RIGHT BALANCE AS WE MOVE
FORWARD I WANT TO THANK ALL THE
CO AUTHORS THE COMMITTEE CHAIRS
COMMITTEE MEMBERS IN THE
SPONSORS WHO HAVE BEEN.
IMPORTANT TO THIS CRITICAL
CONVERSATION THIS BILL HAS BEEN
AMENDED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS
AND THAT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN
AS MORE STAKEHOLDERS COME TO THE
TABLE. WHETHER YOU'RE FROM
BALDWIN PARK FROM RIVERSIDE
ORANGE COUNTY SAN DIEGO THE
CENTRAL VALLEY WE ALL HAVE. A
DESIRE TO SEE MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING BILLS AND I'M THANKFUL
TO ALL OF THE COLLEAGUES WHO
HAVE ENGAGED IN ONGOING
CONVERSATIONS FOR AND NUMBER OF
WEEKS ON THIS IMPORTANT BILL.
WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU SAN
RAMON. IF YOU MICROPHONE UP FROM
SENATOR WIENER. I THANK YOU
MISTER PRESIDENT I'LL BE VOTING
FOR THIS BILL TODAY TO KEEP THE
CONVERSATION GOING- IN THE
ASSEMBLY I DO WANT TO KNOW AND
THE AUTHOR AND I'VE READ VARIOUS
CONVERSATIONS. OF THIS BILL
BECAUSE IT WE SAW IT HOUSING
COMMITTEE AND THEN INCOMING
FINANCE ON WHICH SIDE- SET IN
AND THE PERCENTAGE WAS PUT INTO
THE BILL HAD BEEN A BLANK
BEFORE. AS CONVERSATIONS
CONTINUE- AND- I- I'M GONNA I'M
VOTING FOR IT TODAY. I'M GOING
TO SEE WHAT THE BILL LOOKS LIKE
WHEN IT COMES BACK ON
CONCURRENCE AS OF EXPRESS THE
AUTHOR- I THINK THE PERCENTAGE
SHOULD BE A LOWER- NUMBER. ARE
PARTICULARLY SINCE WE HAVE SOME
LOCAL TAXES AS WELL- AND I'M
CONFIDENT THAT THE AUTHOR WHO I
KNOW WORKS EXTREMELY HARD- WITH
STAKEHOLDERS- WE'LL GET TO A
GOOD PLACE ON THIS AND THAT'S
WHY I'M COMFORTABLE VOTING- WITH
THE- FOR THIS TODAY TO MOVE
FORWARD. AND I WILL BE LOOKING
AT- HELP WITH THE SHAPE OF THE
BILL WHEN IT COMES BACK ON THE
CURRENT THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SENATOR C. R. TO. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MR CALLED I'VE BE OPPOSED
THIS BILL TODAY AND I WISH YOU
WERE IRATE I- I ASK YOU TO JOIN
ME IN DOING SO- NUMBER ONE. THIS
IS SIMPLY UNFAIR. TO PEOPLE THAT
HAVE AIRBNB. MOST OF THOSE
PEOPLE ARE JUST MOM AND POP
AIRBNB OWNERS THEY MAY HAVE A
HOUSE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO
HANG ON TO AND- USED AIRBNB
SYSTEM. FOR THAT- AND- ON TOP OF
THE T. O. T. TAX OF TEN TO
TWELVE PERCENT. THIS WOULD STACK
ON ANOTHER 15% AND THEN THEY
HAVE TO PAY THEIR- THEIR REGULAR
TAXES ON ANY OF THE- PROFIT
MARGIN AND- SO NOW THEY'RE
GETTING TAXED IN UPWARDS OF
FIFTY FIVE TO SIXTY PERCENT. OF
FOR- FOR. THEIR EFFORTS IN
TRYING TO KEEP A HOUSE IN THEIR
FAMILY- THE OTHER PART OF THIS
IS- THAT WE HAVE DONE SOCIAL
HOUSING PROJECTS BEFORE. AND
THEY'RE CALLED EXACTLY THAT THE
PROJECTS. AND IN DOWN IN- LA
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL OF THOSE AND
THEY'VE ALL FAILED. SO I'M NOT
SURE HOW WE'RE GOING TO MOVE
INTO THE SAME KIND OF MODEL THAT
WE'VE ALREADY SEEN FAILED
MISERABLY AND I DO MEAN
MISERABLY. BY HAVING MORE OF THE
SAME TYPE ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE
GOING TO MAKE THEM COST MORE
WITH ADDITIONAL HOUSING- COSTS
THAT ARE ADDED ON FOR BUILDING.
ALL OF THESE TYPE OF HOUSING-
SO- FOR THOSE BASIC REASONS- I
AM OPPOSING THIS BILL AND I
HOPE. YOU WILL JOIN ME IN DOING
SO THANK YOU THANK YOU SENATOR I
HAVE SENATOR CORTESE FOLLOWED BY
CENTER GROVE CENTER CORTESE.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT I THINK
WE NEED A CONSTRUCTION IMPACT
MITIGATION YOUR- COULD BE A
BILL. OF APOLOGIZE FOR- THE
HUMOR BUT- I DO RAISE THE
SUPPORT OF SB FIVE EIGHTY FOUR
BUT I JUST WANTED TO GET ON THE
RECORD- CONCERNS THAT I SHARED
WITH THE AUTHOR WHICH- OF THE IS
THE AUTHOR SURE ME- SHE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE WORKING ON A
MONTHS OTHERS- IN. THE PRIMARY
CITY IN MY DISTRICT CITY SAN
JOSE- AIRBNB FACILITIES
ESPECIALLY ROUND BED AND
BREAKFAST FACILITIES- SMALL
FORMER APARTMENT FACILITIES. ARE
TYPICALLY OWNED BY MOM AND POP-
OWNERSHIP BUT- THERE UTILIZED-
TO THE SINCE AUGUST AUGMENT THE
VERY LIMITED HOTEL STOCK IN THE
CITY THAT SUPPORTS A CONVENTION
CENTER- ON A WEEK TO WEEK BASIS
SO. I'M CONCERNED- IT NOT TO
UNDERMINE THAT THEN ALSO DOT THE
UNDERMINE THOSE MOM AND POP
OPERATORS WHICH I UNDERSTAND
MAYBE AN ANOMALY COMPARED TO.
OTHER PLACES IN THE STATE- BUT
IT IS- THE THIRD LARGEST CITY IN
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN
RIGHT THE MIDDLE MY DISTRICT SO
I'M CONCERNED AND I'M HOPEFUL
THAT THOSE KIND OF. ISSUES CAN
BE WORKED OUT GOING FORWARD-
WITH. I WOULD I WOULD ENCOURAGE-
SUPPORT OF THE BILL AT THIS
POINT THANK YOU THANK YOU CENTER
CORTESE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING TODAY
WITH THE NOISE PRITCHETT THAT.
CENTER GROVE. I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK YOU FOR THE NOISE ON THE
SIDE SIR. THE SPEAKER THE
MICROPHONE YES THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I RESPECTFULLY RISE IN
OPPOSITION I THINK ABOUT THAT
CAUGHT MY COLLEAGUES OPENING
REMARKS WHEN SHE SAYS WE HAD TO
DO SOMETHING TO BRING THEM AND
KEEP THEM AT THE TABLE. WELL
THAT'S THE WAY YOU DO IT IN THE
MAJORITY PARTY THROUGHOUT A 15%
SAID ATTACKS ON AN INDUSTRY AN
INDUSTRY IS REQUIRED TO COME TO
THE TABLE SO THEY'RE NOT. ON THE
MENU- SO. THROWING OUT A 15% TAX
ON A SMALL. GROUP OF
CONSTITUENTS THAT AGAIN SMALL
BUSINESSES MAMA POP
ORGANIZATIONS. RETIREMENT PEOPLE
THAT ARE USING THEIR RETIREMENT
HOME WHERE THEIR BEACH HOME OR
WHATEVER IT IS TO SUBSIDIZE
THEIR INCOME. IN THEIR
RETIREMENT YEARS- THROWING A
FIFTEEN PERCENT. TAX ON THEM IS
COMPLETELY UNCONSCIONABLE AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE.
HE SAID CENTER WILL. THANK YOU-
I ACTUALLY DO SUPPORT THIS BILL.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S ALSO VERY
DIFFICULT FOR MANY PEOPLE BUT I
WANT TO HIGHLIGHT WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT. HOME OWNERSHIP AND I'VE
MENTIONED THIS BEFORE-
CALIFORNIA HOMEOWNERSHIP-
THERE'S ROUGHLY ONLY EIGHTEEN
PERCENT. THAT ACTUALLY OWN
HOMES- SINGLE FAMILY HOMES IN
PARTICULAR. ARE OWN FILE LARGER
CORPORATIONS IT'S AT ACTUAL
TREND THAT'S GOING ON- THESE ARE
NOT MOM AND POP OWNERS. THESE
ARE LARGER CORPORATIONS THAT ARE
BENEFITING FROM THE NEW
TECHNOLOGY THAT'S OUT THERE WE
DO HAVE TO KIND OF CONTROL WHAT
WHAT IS GOING OUT THERE- I THINK
THAT THERE IS A NUMBER OF
POLICIES THAT ARE BEING
INTRODUCED THAT WE SHOULD BE
SUPPORTING BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO
MORE ON HOUSING. AS A WHOLE
AGAIN MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
UNABLE TO AFFORD BECAUSE OF
THESE TYPES OF RENTALS BECAUSE
OF THE FACT THAT THE STOCK IS
BEING ABSORBED BY LARGER
CORPORATIONS THAT ARE
BENEFITING. AND REALLY PUSHING
PEOPLE TO STRUGGLE SO- I WILL
SUPPORT THIS AND CONSIDERING THE
FACT THAT CALIFORNIA HAS THE
LOWEST HOME OWNERSHIP IN THE
NATION IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT WE
RAIN THINGS AND THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ANY FURTHER CUTS I SEE A
MICROPHONE TO SENATOR CAFIERO.
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT I'M I
WANT TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
OF THIS BILL- YOU HEARD THE
AUTHORS SAY THAT IT IT'S A WORK
IN PROGRESS AND I AND I TRULY
BELIEVE IT IS BUT HERE'S THE
REALITY THE SITUATION. IS THAT
CALIFORNIA IS SUCH AN
ATTRACTIVE. TOURIST SPOT. THAT
THERE ARE PARTS OF THE STATE
WHERE. A LARGE NUMBER OF
ORGANIZATIONS BROKERS HEDGE
FUNDS ARE COMING IN AND BUYING
UP. SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AS WELL
AS APARTMENTS. AND THEY'RE USING
THEM FOR THE FOR- A- A TOURIST
INDUSTRY IN OTHER WORDS THEY ARE
DRIVING UP THE COST OF HOUSING
IN MANY OF OUR REGIONS AND
THEY'RE ALSO- OUT PRICING LOCAL
PEOPLE WHO. LIVE AND WORK WHO
LIVE IN THE COMMITTEE BEGAN
AFFORD TO ANY LONGER AND WHO ARE
THEN FORCED TO TRAVEL FURTHER
AND FURTHER HUESO FOR REALLY
GOING TO HAVE. HANDLED GET A
HANDLE ON VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
ONE OF THE WAYS IS TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE IT AFFORDABLE FOR PEOPLE TO
BE ABLE TO LIVE AND WORK IN THE
SAME COMMUNITY- THIS IS ONE
SOLUTION IT'S- I SUPPORT IT- I.
ENCOURAGE THE AUTHOR- IN WAYS
THAT WE MIGHT MAKE IT BETTER AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE

FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. C.

CERTAINLY A BILL THAT'S

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY THIS BILL
HAS TAKEN CHANGES AND
AMENDMENTS. AND YOUR VOTE YOUR
COMMENTS- I SPENT A LOT OF TIME
IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS TALKING TO
SO MANY OF YOU ACROSS THE STATE
AND WE ALL AGREE THAT WE NEED TO
FIND. A WAY TO BUILD MORE
AFFORDABLE AND WORKFORCE HOUSING
THAT'S NOT THE DEBATE HERE THE
DEBATE IS WHERE AND HOW WE FIND.
THAT HOUSING IN OUR STATE AND
WHILE WE PASSED MANY LAWS THAT
CHANGE DIFFERENT ORDINANCES THAT
CHANGE OUR ABILITY TO MOVE
THINGS FASTER OR DO SOMETHING
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT WE HAVEN'T
FOUND A MECHANISM TO FIND THIS
NEEDED HOUSING. I WISH THAT I
WAS GIVING YOU AN EASIER OF A
BILL TO VOTE ON I WISH THAT I
WAS EIGHT EIGHT YOU KNOW
INSURING- THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING. THAT DIDN'T FEEL HARD
OR DIFFICULT BUT IT TURNS OUT
THAT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT ISSUE
IN THE STATE IS GENERATING A
DIFFICULT CONVERSATION. I WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS TO FIND
A WAY THAT WE CAN. WE CAN TRY TO
DO WHAT WE WERE CAUGHT WHAT WE
AIM TO ACCOMPLISH WHICH IS BUILD
MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND FIND
FUNDING FOR OUR COMMUNITIES- I

CLAMOR RESIDENCY PROGRAMS BY
PROVIDING THE FUNDS NECESSARY
THEREFORE TO AN ELECTION FOR THE
ISSUANCE AND SALE OF BONDS OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND FOR
THE HANDLING A DISPOSITION OF
THOSE FUNDS. CENTER EGGMAN THE
FLOOR IS YOURS THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MR PRESIDENT AND- SENATORS-
TODAY I AM PRESENTING SB THREE
SIXTY EIGHT WHICH IS A SIX
BILLION DOLLAR FLOOD PROTECTION
BOND FOR THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND
SOME OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE
AND I KNOW SO MY COLLEAGUES WILL
SAY BUT WHEN WE HAD ALL THAT
EXTRA GENERAL FUND MONEY WE
SHOULD BE DONE ALL OF THIS NOW.
THEN WELL. THE POINT IS THAT WE
PUT SOME TOWARDS IT BUT THE
RECENT FLOOD CONTROL ASSOCIATION
FOUND THAT WOULD PROBABLY NEED
ABOUT THREE HUNDRED BILLION IN
THE NEXT TWENTY YEARS TO BE ABLE
TO GET THE FULL PROTECTION THAT
WE NEED. SO THIS WILL GO SOME
WAYS TOWARDS BEING ABLE TO DO
THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD A FLOOD BOND
SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND SIX AND
THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE WE'VE EVER
HAD. WE'RE FAMILIAR FROM HIS
VOTED ON A WATER BOND EARLIER
THAT DID NOT PRIORITIZE FLOODING
NO PREP PRIORITIZE AND THE KINDS
OF THINGS- WE'VE SEEN IN THIS
THE THIS LAST THIS YEAR THIS
CALENDAR YEAR. THE DEVASTATION
THE ECONOMY TO PEOPLE TO LIVES
TO DISRUPTION OF OUR TRANSIT
HUBS. AS ROADWAYS FLOOD FARMS
FLOOD AND PEOPLE ARE OUT OF
WORK. THIS IS DANGEROUS
CALIFORNIA COULD DO BETTER- THIS
PRIORITIZES PROJECTS IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY- AND TO BETTER
FIX THOSE LEVEES AND KNOWS WEIRS
AND THOSE BYPASSES. PRIORITIZES
THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER WHICH
NEEDS A LOT OF SUPPORT. IT
PROVIDES A BILLION DOLLARS FOR
PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF THAT TO BE
ABLE TO DEAL WITH ISSUES LIKE
COASTAL RISE. AND IT PROVIDES A
BILLION DOLLARS TO WORK ON OUR-
DAM SAFETY. THIS IS THE YEAR TO
BE ABLE TO DO THIS- I ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE. THAT LET THE
VOTERS DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO
INVEST IN OUR FUTURE. THANK YOU
CENTER EGGMAN CENTER NEW LOW.
THANK YOU MISTER. I RISE AS A CO
AUTHOR. OF THIS BOND MEASURE-
WELL LET ME ASK A- YEAR AGO
DURING A HOUSE OF ORIGIN-
DEADLINE- I WASN'T HERE. BUT HOW
MANY OF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT
FLOODS. ABOUT THREE OR FOUR.
WELL I WAS BECAUSE THE FACT OF
THE MATTER IS THIS STATE
ESPECIALLY THE NORTH PART OF THE
STATE. IS REALLY IN DROUGHT WITH
OCCASIONAL INUNDATIONS OF RAIN
IT CONSISTENTLY HAPPENS EVERY.
BETWEEN FIVE AND TEN YEARS WE
HAVE CONTINUAL YEARS OF DROUGHT
AND THEN WERE INUNDATED AND
WE'VE SEEN. IN PARTICULAR THE
LAST TWO TIMES TWENTY SEVENTEEN
AND- THIS WINTER THE CENTRAL
VALLEY OF THE SOUTH END OF OUR
OF THIS COUNTY AND THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WERE PARTICULARLY. HARD
HIT WHEREAS PREVIOUS-
INUNDATIONS WERE FURTHER NORTH
AND THOSE AREAS ARE BETTER
PROTECTED NOW BECAUSE OF THAT.
AND THIS BOND WILL PROVIDE
NEEDED FUNDS TO SHORE UP OUR
FLOOD CONTROL SO THAT WHEN WE DO
GO THROUGH ANOTHER FEW YEARS OF
DROUGHT ALTHOUGH THE FORECAST IS
FOR PROP POSSIBLE HEAVY RAINS
THIS COMING WINTER. BUT WHEN WE
DO GO THROUGH ANOTHER FEW YEARS
OF DROUGHT AND WE FORGET ALL
ABOUT FLOODING WELL WITH THIS
BOND WE WOULD HAVE- BUT SHORT
OURSELVES UP IN SOME OF THESE
HIGH RISK AREAS I REGION AYE
VOTE. SENATOR LAYERED. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT- I RISE SAYS
ANOTHER CO AUTHOR OF THIS BILL.
BUT WHEN I TALK TO THE AUTHOR I
DID INDICATE THAT I THOUGHT IT
WAS CENTRAL VALLEY CENTRIC AND
THAT IN FACT THERE NEEDS ALL
ACROSS THE STATE. AND
UNFORTUNATELY THAT WAS
DEMONSTRATED ON THE PARK ROW
RIVER AND ON THE SALINAS RIVER
AND ON A ROYAL GRANDY CREEK WHEN
THE ATMOSPHERIC RIVER SLAMMED ON
THE CENTRAL COAST AND THOSE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS DO NOT HAVE
THE ABILITY TO PROTECT THEIR OWN
CITIZENS. IT REALLY RELIES ON A
BOND LIKE THIS AND THE STATE'S
STEPPING UP AND LEVERAGING OTHER
MONEY SO I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS
AND JUST KNOW THAT IF IT REALLY
GETS SERIOUS AND EVERYBODY
ENGAGES WE WILL MAKE SURE. THAT
IT IS APPLIES TO THE PLACES IN
THE STATE THAT ALL NATIVE SO I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR FOR
INTRODUCING IT AND PROBABLY
SUPPORT IT. THANK YOU CENTER
CENTER C. R. TOUGH. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES- SO I DID
COMMENT ON BONDS EARLIER AND
THOSE COMMENTS STAND- I THINK
THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO FUND
THESE. VERY VERY IMPORTANT
PROJECTS BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR
ONE WE TALK ABOUT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS. AND THE PROBLEM WITH
OUR DAMS AND LEVEES AS ARE GOOD
TO GET SENATOR FROM SANTA CRUZ
POINTED OUT TO ME IN A
CONVERSATION WORK A CONVERSATION
RECENTLY. ISN'T NECESSARILY
GETTING THE MONEY TO DO IT. IT'S
GETTING THROUGH THE PROCESS TO
DO IT WHEN IT TAKES FIFTEEN
YEARS TO TRY TO GET THE- PERMITS
TO REPLACE EIGHT EXISTING LEVY
THAT'S A PROBLEM. WHEN IT TAKES
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS TO
REPLACE AN EXISTING DAM. THAT'S
AN EXACT SAME PLACE THAT'S A
PROBLEM- THIS WAS POINTED OUT
JUST LAST WEEK WHEN WE ARE
DEALING WITH A POTENTIAL PRISON
PROJECT THAT WAS GOING TO GET
THROUGH IN TWO YEARS AND THEY
WERE SAYING THEY TOLD ME. THE
REASON I DIDN'T NEED TO GO
THROUGH SEE WHAT PROCESS WAS
BECAUSE- IT ALREADY EXISTS SO
WHY WOULD IT CHANGE ANYTHING. SO
WE CAN DO A BOND FOR SIX BILLION
DOLLARS ON A VERY VERY IMPORTANT
SUBJECT SOMETHING THAT WE NEEDED
TO DO FOR THE LAST TWENTY TO
TWENTY FIVE YEARS. YEAH IF THE
PROD IF IT'S GOING TO TAKE
ANOTHER FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS
IN ALL THIS IS GOING TO DO IS
SIT IN THE BANK WAITING FOR. THE
PROJECT TO COME ALONG AND BE
READY TO GET DONE- IT'S NOT
DOING US ANY GOOD WE MIGHT AS
WELL JUST GET THAT PART DONE AND
THEN WE CAN JUST FUND THE
PROJECT AS WE GO ALONG. WITH OUR
EXISTING DOLLARS THAT WE CAN
SAVE ON THE- INTEREST RATES ARE
ON THE INTERESTS THAT WE'RE
PAYING ON THE TOTAL OF IF WE
APPROVED A FIRE VOTERS APPROVED
ALL OF THE BOND TO BE SIXTY TWO.
BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF BONDS
THIS YEAR THAT WE'RE ASKING THEM
TO APPROVE- SO- WITH THAT I
THINK THERE ARE BETTER WAYS OF
FUNDING THESE- WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROCESS OF
WE WANTED TO WORK- AND- I MIGHT
EVEN JUMP ON BOARD FOR THIS
PARTICULAR ONE EXCEPT I KNOW THE
PROCESS FOR THESE PARTICULAR
TYPES OF PROJECTS. IS NOT BEING
WORKED ON AND THEREFORE- THEY'RE
NOT GOING TO BE DONE ANYTIME
SOON. YES LIKE OUR LAKE THAT- UP
IN THE NORTH PART OF THE STATE-
THAT- WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE IN
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY FOUR- THAT'S
NOT GOING TO BE DONE FOR ANOTHER
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY YEARS- SO-
WITH THAT I. I RESPECTFULLY. ASK
FOR AND A NO VOTE ON THIS AND I
HOPE THAT WE ARE SPURRED INTO.
WHEN WE DO HAVE A LARGE BUDGET
SURPLUSES THAT WE START LOOKING
AT THESE AS LONG TERM PROJECTS
AND START PUTTING MONEY ASIDE.
FOR THESE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO
BOND AND WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY
INTEREST WE CAN ACTUALLY PUT
THOSE INTEREST RATES. ARE THE
INTERESTS MONEY THAT WE'RE
SPENDING. INTO THE PROJECTS
THEMSELVES- WITHOUT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE
THANK YOU CENTER ANY FURTHER
SENATORS WANT TO SPEAK ON THIS
ISSUE. C. NINE CENTER EGGMAN IN
A CLOSE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MISTER PRESIDENT I APPRECIATE
THE DIALOGUE. THIS IS IMPORTANT
ISSUE THE CENTRAL VALLEY FINDS
ITSELF WITH LESS FLOOD
PROTECTION. THAN THE CITY OF NEW
ORLEANS PRE KATRINA. WE NEED TO
DO SOMETHING AND WE WOULDN'T
SAY. IF WE HAD A LEAK IN OUR
ROOF THAT WE SHOULD TO SAY FOR
THAT BEFORE WE WOULD SAY IT WILL
TAKE OUT A LOAN BECAUSE WE NEED
TO BE ABLE TO FIX THAT. ROOF FOR
THE PUBLIC SAFETY OF FOR
EVERYBODY ELSE SO WITH THAT.

LEADERSHIP IN THIS AREA ON THE

THE AUTHOR'S COMMITMENT TO

REGARD TO THE SOLVENCY. SOLVENCY

PUBLIC HEALTH DISASTERS IN THE

SENATOR THANK YOU SENATOR
VIDEOCENTER CABALLERO. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MR PRESIDENT- THIS IS
THIS IS- I WANT TO COMMEND THE
AUTHOR HE'S WORKED REALLY HARD
ON THIS BUT THERE'S A CRUNCHY
ISSUE THAT I THINK WE- WE'RE
GONNA NEED TO RESOLVE AND I JUST
WANT TO CALL IT OUT BECAUSE-
IT'S IMPORTANT. AS WE LOOK AT
CLIMATE CHANGE AND CLIMATE
RESILIENCY THE DEFINITION OF
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY BECOMES
VERY VERY IMPORTANT AND I YOU
KNOW WE ALL THINK WE KNOW WHAT
WHAT IT MEANS WHEN WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT A DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY.
BUT IF THE IF THE LANGUAGE IS
NOT RIGHT WHAT IT DOES IS IT
STARTS TO PUT MONEY IN WEALTHIER
COMMUNITIES AS AS A PAY OFF TO
THAT COMMUNITY. AND IT DOESN'T
TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT
THAT THERE ARE AREAS OF THE
STATE THAT HAVE- WELL THERE IS
LET ME JUST PUT IT THIS WAY THAT
THERE ARE MANY OF US THAT HAVE
OUR ENTIRE DISTRICT. THAT IS
PRACTICALLY DISADVANTAGED AND IT
WOULD CUT OUT- FINANCIAL
RESOURCES WHAT COMPLICATED ABOUT
IT IS THAT EACH PART OF MONEY.
IT REALLY HAS A RELATIONSHIP TO
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE STATE- IF
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT SEA LEVEL
RISE AND COASTAL. ISSUES AND
DAMAGES I DON'T I DON'T HAVE
THAT IN SO I WOULDN'T BE LOOKING
FOR THAT. PART OF MONEY
NECESSARILY BE RELATING TO MY
COMMUNITY BUT- WHEN WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT- COMMUNITIES WHERE
DROUGHT. AND CONSERVANCIES ARE
RARE AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS
IN PLACE FOR WATER SOLUTIONS.
THAT WOULD PERFECTLY FIT MY
COMMUNITY SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THAT WE ALL HAVE A SEAT AT
THE TABLE WITH THE WITH THE GOOD
CENTER FROM FROM SANTA MONICA.
AND THAT WE RESOLVE THIS ISSUE-
HOW DO WE GET HOW DO WE HAVE
FAIRNESS IN HOW WE DESCRIBE
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT.

FUEL JOBS FOSSIL FUEL UP
OCCUPATIONS PAY AN HOURLY WAGE

CLIMATE WORKING GROUP. IN WHICH
AMONG THAT GROUP WHICH IS VERY
DIVERSE GEOGRAPHICALLY. AND IN
EVERY OTHER WAY. WE TRIED TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO HASH OUT
THINGS. SO THAT THERE WAS SOME
UNANIMITY AND THERE WAS SOME. OF
OUR EQUITY. AND PART OF THE
EQUITY WAS MAKING SURE. THAT
WHEN WE CREATE NEW JOBS IN THE
GREEN SECTOR WHICH WE WILL BE
DOING REGARDLESS OF HOW FAST. IN
WHAT WAY WE MAKE SURE THERE'S
EQUITY IN THOSE JOBS. AND WE HAD
A BIG PIECE THAT WENT TO THE
ASSEMBLY AND DIDN'T PASS. AND
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE ARE TAKING
PIECES OF IT THIS YEAR AND
MOVING AND A HAT WE HAVE ONE
FROM THE SENATOR FROM SAN MATTEO
COUNTY AND THIS IS ANOTHER AND I
THINK IT REFLECTS THAT
COMMITMENT. TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY SHARES IN WHAT WE GAIN
AND NOT IN FACT IF THERE ARE NEW
JOBS CREATED WE DO IT IN THE
BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO BE AS
MEANINGFUL AS THOSE JOBS THAT
ARE HELD IN THE ENERGY SECTOR

THEY'RE EMPTY AND I SAY THAT
BECAUSE THE RELICS OF THE LAST

TWO NOW MEMBERS THIS IS SB
EIGHTY ONE BY SENATOR SKINNER
SHE'S PREPARED SECRETARY PLEASE
READ. SENATE BILL EIGHTY ONE BY
SENATOR SKINNER AN ACT RELATING
TO PEARL. CENTERS SKINNER THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS- THIS
IS A BILL THAT IS JOINT AUTHORED
BY SENATOR BACKROOM MYSELF AND
SB EIGHTY ONE IS BASED ON
RECOMMENDATIONS IN OUR
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S REPORT
WHICH WAS ISSUED IN JANUARY OF
TWENTY TWENTY THREE AND THAT
REPORT THE L. A. O. DID A DEEP
DIVE. ON THE DECISION MAKING
PROCESS OF OUR PAROLE BOARD AND
THEIR REPORT WAS TITLED
PROMOTING EQUITY IN THE PAROLE
HEARING PROCESS AND THE ONLY-
CONCLUDED THAT SOME ADDITIONAL
PROVISIONS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL
TO INCREASE OBJECTIVITY AND
REDUCE SOME OF THE POSSIBLE BIAS
THAT ANY OF US COULD HAVE THAT
TOO IS NOT UNIQUE TO PAROLE
COMMISSIONERS BUT ANY OF US
COULD HAVE- SO WHAT SB EIGHTY
ONE DOES IS HELP TO IMPROVE. THE
OBJECTIVITY. TO HELP ENSURE THAT
A PERSON THE PERSON THAT'S
BEFORE THE PROBOARDS THAT THEIR
RISK TO PUBLIC SAFETY IS THE
PRIMARY CONSIDERATION AND I
THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE THAT
THAT IS THE- PRIMARY
CONSIDERATION THAT WE WANT THE
PRO BOARD. TO BE CONSIDERING IN
TERMS OF A PERSON'S- SUITABILITY
FOR PAROLE IF THEIR CONTINUED
RISK TO PUBLIC SAFETY WE DO NOT
WANT THE WORLD. SO WHAT IT DOES
IS HELP TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
FEWER PAROLE DECISIONS THAT
COULD RELY ON FACTORS SUBJECT TO
AGAIN BIAS THAT ANY OF US COULD
HAVE REGARDING FOR EXAMPLE A
PERSON'S LOOKS THEIR GENDER
THEIR DISABILITY. AND ETHNICITY-
NOW ANY JUDICIAL REVIEW THAT MAY
OCCUR AS A RESULT SB EIGHTY ONE.
STILL RESPECTS THE ROLE OF THE
PAROLE BOARD. TO MAKE THE
DETERMINATION AS TO WHETHER THE
PERSON IS SUITABLE FOR RELEASE
AND SO THAT JUDICIAL REVIEW IS
NOT OVERRIDE THE PAROLE BOARD
BUT COMPLETE BUT PURELY SNIMANJE
SIT BACK TO THE PAROLE BOARD FOR
FURTHER CONSIDERATION SO I
WANTED TO BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT.
THIS IS NOT GIVING ANY JUDGE THE
ABILITY TO MAKE A DECISION TO
RELEASE ITS REMANDED BACK TO THE
PAROLE BOARD. AND WITH THAT I
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE AND I
THINK THAT MY JOINT AUTHOR WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS
CENTER BECKER YOU'RE NEXT UP.
THANK YOU RISE APPROACH WHEN
AUTHOR OF S. B. EIGHTY ONE
SENATOR OUTLINED THIS BILL
CODIFIES RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE
L. A. O. TO PROMOTE FAIRNESS IN
HEARINGS. OUR SYSTEM IS
CURRENTLY LEAVING OUTS AND
LEAVING BEHIND ELIGIBLE
CANDIDATES. BY OUTLINING
OBJECTIVE AND CONSISTENT
STANDARDS FOR REVIEW THIS BILL
REMOVE UNNECESSARY BARRIERS TO
ELIGIBLE AND QUALIFIED FOR ALL
CANDIDATES I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU SENATOR
BAKER CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU
MISTER PRESIDENT I. AND AB UP OF
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION YOU
KNOW HAVING THAT THE GREAT HONOR
OF SITTING AS THE VICE CHAIR
ROLES WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DO CONFIRMATION APPOINTMENTS OF
THE GOVERNOR PUTS FORTH. ON AND
THE INDIVIDUALS WHO USE OUR
COMMISSIONERS THAT SIT ON THE
PRO BOARDS. AND JUST RECENTLY WE
APPROVED OUT OF FIVE OF THOSE-
COMMISSIONER Y. J. COMMISSIONER.
AND PATRICIA. I CAN'T EVER LAST
NAME A COMMISSIONER REST AND
COMMISSIONER THORNTON. AND JUST
TO NAME A FEW AND WHEN WE ASK
THEM QUESTIONS BOTH. FROM BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE FROM THE
FORMER SECRETARY OF NATURAL
RESOURCES TO MYSELF TO- SENATOR
MY COLLEAGUE- CENTER SHOWBOAT.
AND EVEN THE PRO TEM WHEN WE ASK
THEM QUESTIONS AND WE ASKED THEM
ABOUT THE FORMULA THEY USE THEY
ALL HAVE A STANDING FORMULA. AND
WE HAD SOME OF THEM ACTUALLY SAY
YOU KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT
COME BEFORE US THAT WE DON'T
LIKE. WE DON'T LIKE THEIR
ATTITUDE WE DON'T LIKE- SOME OF
THE THINGS THEY SAY BUT THEY'VE
MET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR FREEDOM
THEY'VE MET THE REQUIREMENTS
THEY'VE TAKEN THE CLASSES.
THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THAT
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO AND I'M
SAYING THEY DO THAT FOR
EVERYBODY I'M JUST SAYING THAT
WAS ONE OF THE COMMENTS THEY
MADE. TO SUPPORT THE NON. ACTIVE
SO IT'S SEES ME NONCE. FINDINGS
THEY FIND IT- AND KERR. TO THEIR
OWN- VALUES OR SO THE WAY THAT
THEY THINK. SO YOU KNOW JUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS BILL
BECAUSE I THINK THE SYSTEM
THAT'S IN PLACE FOR THE
GOVERNOR'S APPOINTEES FOR THE
PAROLE BOARD. IS IS SOMETHING
THAT WORKS WELL IT IS NOT BASED
ON BIAS AND SUBJECTIVITY- MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES
CENTERS MALL OKAY THIS IS ALWAYS
ASK ALL ALSO ASK THESE QUESTIONS
TO THESE INDIVIDUALS. AND- I
THINK THAT ALL OF US TO APPROVE
THESE PRO MORE COMMISSIONERS ON
A FIVE OH VOTE. WE REALLY
BELIEVE THAT THE WAY THAT THEY
ARE ASSESSING. WHETHER TO GRANT
FREEDOM OR TO MAKE A DECISION
TO- PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY NOT
FEELING THAT THEY MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS TO GRANT FREEDOM. I
ALSO MENTION LAST WEEK IN
COMMENTS THAT I HAVE THAT THIS
IS A VERY WAITED AND HEAVY
DECISION FOR THESE PAROLE BOARD
COMMISSIONERS TO MAKE- DATE. I
DON'T SEE AGONIZE OVER IT BUT
THEY DON'T WANT TO DENY FREEDOM
OF SOMEBODY HAS MET THE
REQUIREMENTS TAKEN THE CLASSES.
IDENTIFY THE TRIGGERS THAT CAUSE
THEM TO. COMMIT THE CRIME BEFORE
ADDRESSING THOSE TRIGGERS HOW
THEY MAKE SURE THAT THEY ADDRESS
THOSE- YOU KNOW ONE ONE
COMMISSIONER GAVE A SUBJECT AT
ISSUE ON AND- ON CHILD
MOLESTATION OR CHILD- CHILDREN
ASSAULT ISSUES. AND WHAT THEY
DID TO IDENTIFY THE TRIGGERS ARE
THE TRIGGER STILL THERE BUT THE
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THEY'VE
IDENTIFIED THEM THEY KNOW HOW TO
ADDRESS THEM AND THEY FELT
CONFIDENT IN GRANTING THAT
PAROLE. TO THAT PERSON BECAUSE
THEY FELT THAT THEY WEREN'T
GOING TO BE A THREAT TO SOCIETY
BECAUSE THEY'D ALREADY.
IDENTIFIED ALL THE ISSUES THAT
WOULD PREVENT THEM FROM BEING A
GOOD MEMBER OF SOCIETY IF THEY
WERE RELEASED BACK INTO. THE
COMMUNITIES AND THAT WAS JUST
ONE EXAMPLE AGAIN- THESE THE
GOVERNOR'S APPOINTEES I THINK
THERE IS AS A NOT THERE IS AN
OBJECTIVE PROFILE. THAT
EVERYBODY HAS IN THE SAME
CONSISTENT MANNER USED TO BASED
ON- YOU KNOW THE ELIGIBILITY
STANDARDS FOR THEM TO BE GRANTED
FREEDOM AND I. WOULD JUST ASK
FOR A NO VOTE. ANY OTHER CENTER
WISHING TO RECKONED ON THIS. C.
NINE CENTER SKINNER UP. WELL I
SORRY I DIDN'T SEE YOUR
MICROPHONES AS CENTER SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS NO THANK YOU MISTER
PRESIDENT I THANK. MY COLLEAGUE
FROM FROM RULES COMMITTEE BUT I
WANT TO BE CLEAR- THAT WE CAN
ALWAYS IMPROVE THE SYSTEM. EVEN
THOUGH IT'S WORKING- IN SOME
ASPECTS THERE ARE CERTAINLY WAYS
TO MAKE IT BETTER AND I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR BRINGING.
THIS ITEM WE ALSO KNOW THAT- AS
THESE ARE OFTEN APPOINTMENTS WE
KNOW WHAT WILL MAKE THE
DIFFERENCE IS THE SYSTEM THAT WE
SET UP FOR THEM TO USE TO ENSURE
OBJECTIVITY IN THE BEST.
OUTCOMES POSSIBLE FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES SO WITH THAT I ASKED
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU
CENTER OCHO OF UGH. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT MEMBERS I JUST WANNA
ECHO THE- THE COMMENTS AND
REMARKS MADE BY MY COLLEAGUE
FROM BAKERSFIELD- MY FELLOW
COLLEAGUES FROM THE RULES
COMMITTEE. IT'S BEEN AN EYE
OPENING ACTUALLY AND I'M VERY
GRATEFUL TO THE PRO TIME FOR
ALLOWING ME TO SERVE IN THAT
CAPACITY IT'S- I'VE LEARNED
QUITE A BIT IN DIFFERENT SPACES.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHEN HE
COMES INTO THE SPENT AS INTO THE
SPACE- I JUST WANTED TO- SHARE
WITH MY COLLEAGUES WHAT I
LEARNED- AS I. YOU KNOW AS A
FORMER TEACHER ALWAYS A TEACHER-
WITH REGARDS TO HOW THEY MAKE
DECISIONS- WITHIN THAT- WITHIN
THAT BOARD. AND IT WAS UNLIKELY
TO ME TO KNOW THAT THEY ACTUALLY
USE WHAT'S CALLED A STRUCTURED
DECISION. MAKING FRAMEWORK SO
THERE IS A SET OF QUESTIONS THAT
THEY FOLLOW THROUGH IN WHICH
THEY ARE GUIDED IN MAKING THOSE
DECISIONS IN EVALUATING
SOMEONE'S ABILITY. TO BE GRANTED
PAROLE SO I TRUST I'VE WE'VE HAD
THE PRIVILEGE OF INTERVIEWING
SEVERAL OF THESE APPOINTEES. AND
THEY ARE YOU KNOW. THEY ARE
VERY- VERY COMMITTED TO
UTILIZING THIS FRAMEWORK IN
ORDER TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS
AND AS MY COLLEAGUE. MENTIONED
EARLIER AB FROM BAKERSFIELD WAS
THAT THE HUXLEY WILL SAY HE WAS
YOU KNOW WE MIGHT NOT LIKE THE
INDIVIDUAL BUT IF THEY MET THE
CRITERIA IF THEY'VE DONE DONE
AND DONE THE WORK. I AM THEY
WILL BE ELIGIBLE TO AB FOR
PAROLE SO BASED ON ON ON THIS
GREAT YEARS THAT THEY ALREADY
HAVE IN PLACE. AN UNDERSTANDING
THAT THE APPOINTEES HAVE BEEN
VERY DILIGENT IN DOING THEIR
WORK- AND TAKE GREAT
CONSIDERATION IN- M. IN M.
GRANTING THESE ROLES I'M GOING
TO RESPECTFULLY. AB NOT SUPPORT
THE MEASURE TODAY THANK YOU. I
REMEMBER ANYONE ANY OTHER MEMBER
WISHING TO BE HEARD ON THIS
MATTER. C. NINE CENTERS CAN
REMAIN CLOSE THANK YOU SO MUCH
MISTER PRESIDENT SO THE L. A. O.
IN THEIR REPORT NIGHT DO
RECOMMENDED IT'S- VERY. HE WAS
THOROUGH THEY'D LOOKED AT THE-
PROBOARDS STRUCTURED DECISION
MAKING PROCESS AND- CLEARLY
THOSE SUCH THOSE GUIDELINES THAT
THE PROBOARDS PUT INTO EFFECT
ARE. THEY ARE GOOD AND THEY HELP
BUT I THINK WHAT THE L. A. YO.
RECOGNIZING RECOGNIZED AND I
THINK. ALL OF US WOULD RECOGNIZE
IS THAT EACH AND EVERYONE OF US
HAVE BIASES. IT'S JUST AND WE
CAN'T HELP IT WHILE OURS MAY NOT
BE THE SAME. WE HAVE THEM AND-
WE I MEAN I WILL GIVE A
DIFFERENT ANALOGY- SINCE OUR
COLLEAGUE REFERENCED- TEACHERS.
YOU KNOW WE I HAD A BILL ON
WILLFUL DEFIANCE WHICH- THANKS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY
COLLEAGUES YOU ALL SUPPORTED
VERY STRONGLY WAS A BIPARTISAN
VOTE TO YOU KNOW GET RID OF THAT
SUBJECTIVE CATEGORY OF
SUSPENSIONS. BECAUSE THE DATA
SHOWED THAT IT WAS LGBTQ KIDS
DISABLED KIDS AND BLACK KIDS WHO
WERE MOST SUBJECT TO WILLFUL
DEFIANCE SUSPENSIONS. AND WHAT

THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS
I'M PLEASED 2% SENATE BILL FIVE
FIFTY THREE A BIPARTISAN BILL
SPONSORED BY UNITED FOOD AND
COMMERCIAL WORKERS SB FIVE FIFTY
THREE WILL STRENGTHEN EXISTING
LAWS RELATED TO WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE BY EXPANDING THE
ABILITY OF THE POOREST ENSURE
WORKPLACE SAFETY AND CREATING
ADDITIONAL FORCIBLE PROTECTIONS
FOR EMPLOYEES. OSHA'S IDENTIFIED
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE AS THE SECOND
LEADING CAUSE OF FATAL
OCCUPATIONAL INJURY- IN
ESTIMATES THAT NEARLY TWO
MILLION WORKERS ARE AFFECTED BY
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE EACH YEAR. AS
YOU REMEMBER ON MAY TWENTY SIX
OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE TO BE TÌM
COOLEY UNDER THE GUADALUPE YARD
IN MY DISTRICT- ALONGSIDE
SENATOR WILL HOBBS DISTRICT AND
KILLED NINE OF HIS COWORKERS AT
THE FACILITY BEFORE TAKING HIS
OWN LIFE. IN RESPONSE TO THAT
TRAGEDY WE BEGIN WORKING WE WERE
ABLE TO GET SENATE BILL TWELVE
NINETY FOUR SIGNED INTO LAW THE
BILL PROMOTED EMPLOYEE WELLNESS
AND SAFETY INSIDE HIGH STRESS
INDUSTRIES BY CREATING A PATH.
TO EXPAND WORKER WELLNESS
CENTERS THAT WAS A GOOD FIRST
STEP BUT OUR WORK WAS NOT
COMPLETE UNFORTUNATELY WORKPLACE
SHOOTINGS ARE NOT ONLY NOT
UNCOMMON BUT THEY SEEM TO HAPPEN
ON A DAILY BASIS. OVER THE
MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND THERE WERE
OVER TWENTY SHOOTINGS REPORTED
ACROSS THE COUNTRY MANY OF
THOSE- WERE IN WORKPLACE
SITUATIONS. IN JUNE OF TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. MANUALS ARE CORNEIL
HO C. FOR EMPLOYEE IN SAN JOSE-
IN MY DISTRICT WAS SHOT AND
KILLED DURING A ROBBERY INSIDE
THE STORE. THE LEGISLATURE'S
MADE IMPRESSIVE STRIDES IN
REDUCING WORKPLACE VIOLENCE. IN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN AFTER THE
PASSAGE OF SB TWELVE NINETY
NINE. A BY THEN CALIFORNIA STATE
SENATOR ALEX PADILLA CAL OSHA
OFFICIALLY ADOPTED PIVOTAL
HEALTHCARE WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
PREVENTION STANDARDS. YET THOSE
THERE'S ONLY INCREASE
PROTECTIONS FOR HEALTH CARE
WORKERS EXCLUDING. MOST OF
CALIFORNIA'S WORKFORCE. THERE
COACHES SEARCH THE INTO WORK.
VIOLENCE DISCUSS DROUGHT. OUT
WHEN YOU WERE FOR PREVENTION
STAN FOR NON HEALTH CARE. IN
OTHER WORDS CAL OSHA AGREES AND
UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE NEEDS TO
BE GENERAL INDUSTRY WORKPLACE.
VIOLENCE STANDARDS AND NOT JUST
IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR HOWEVER
THE DROP IS SIGNIFICANTLY.
WEAKER PROTECTION BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY FOR ALL WORKERS-
THAT DROP IS BEEN AT WORK
CIRCULATING NOW FOR A NUMBER OF
YEARS IT'S BEEN SIX YEARS IN THE
PLANNING AND I DON'T SAY THAT
THAT IS DUE TO IN ACTION- BUT
IT. THIS IS SOMETHING IS URGENT
I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE TO
THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DEAL WITH IT RIGHT NOW- EXCEL
READING A STANDARD- WITH ROBUST
PROTECTIONS IS VITAL. I THINK
WE'VE ARRIVED AT THAT POINT- NOW
WITH THIS BILL WE'VE- AMENDED
THE BILL SEVERAL TIMES TO
ADDRESS CONCERNS OF COLLEAGUES
AND CONCERNS OF THE OPPOSITION.
SB FIVE FIFTY THREE WILL EXPERT
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PREVENTION
STANDARDS FOR NON HEALTH CARE
WORKERS AND OFFER ALL WORKERS
THE SAME PROTECTION THAT HEALTH
CARE WORKERS CURRENTLY ENJOY.
THROUGH ARTICULATED WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE PREVENTION PLANS DATA
COLLECTION ON WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
INCIDENTS EFFECTIVE TRAINING
EXPANDING APPOINT PROTECTIONS.
THIS BILL WILL HELP ENSURE
ACCOUNTABILITY. THE BILL REALLY
COMES DOWN TO SEVEN SIMPLE
THINGS I THINK AND I'M HAPPY TO
GO OVER THOSE- IF THERE ARE
CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS RAISED.
AFTER THIS PRESENTATION. OF THE
RECENT AMENDMENTS THAT I ALLUDED
TO INCLUDE TAKING OUT OF THE
PROVISIONS ON VERBAL HARASSMENT.
IN I THINK THERE SHOULD
DEMONSTRATE OUR WILLINGNESS- TO
MAKE ADDITIONAL CHANGES WE ARE
CURRENTLY AWAITING A LEDGE
COUNCIL RESPONSE ON LANGUAGE
THAT WOULD ADDRESS BOTH THE
SMALL BUSINESS OR SMALLER WORK
FORCE ISSUE I COMMITTED. A
DURING PREVIOUS PRESENTATION IN
HEARING- COMMITTEE HEARING- IT
TO DEAL WITH THAT ISSUE I AGREE
IT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH- PALM
ALL BUSINESSES OF ALL SIZES
SHOULD BE COVERED BY THIS. THIS
BILL- OR THE STANDARDS- WEEK
KNOWLEDGE SHOULD THAT THIS BILL
WON'T COMPLETELY ELIMINATE
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE BUT IT WILL
BETTER EQUIP AND PREPARE WORKERS
ON HOW TO RESPOND. WHEN
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE SITUATION
ARISE THANK YOU AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS. THANK YOU SENATOR CORTESE
CENTER PLACE HERE. YES THANK
YOU- WELL SO I AM GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS TODAY- BUT I HAVE
SOME ONGOING CONCERNS TO THE
AUTHOR THAT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO
MENTION HERE SO. AS THIS MOVES
OVER TO THE ASSEMBLY POTENTIALLY
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING YOU'D
CONTINUE TO WORK ON I THINK IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT AS THE AUTHOR IS
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT WE
HAVE WORK PLACES THAT HAVE A
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE PLAN.
ESPECIALLY WITH SO MUCH GUN
VIOLENCE IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS IS
A REAL THREAT IN ALL WORKPLACES
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THE
SAFETY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES BUT I
THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN
THE LANGUAGE IN THE WAY IT'S
WRITTEN THAT INCLUDES THE WORD
SHALL INCLUDE AND THINGS THAT
ARE REQUIRED. THAT JUST DON'T
SEEM LIKE THEY WOULD BE
APPLICABLE TO FOR EXAMPLE A
WORKPLACE THAT HAS ONE EMPLOYEE
OR- A SQUARE FOOTAGE THAT'S
EXTREMELY SMALL SO I WOULD LIKE
THERE TO BE SOME CONSIDERATION
OF REASONABLENESS AROUND. THE
THINGS LIKE HAVING TO HIRE
SPECIFIC SECURITY PERSONNEL OR
HAVING TO HAVE ALARM SYSTEMS OR
HAVING TO HAVE LINE OF SIGHT
THAT'S CLEAR FROM EVERYWHERE YOU
KNOW SOME OF THESE THINGS JUST
GIVEN CERTAIN WORKPLACES ARE NOT
PRACTICAL- SO I'M HOPING THAT
THE AUTHOR WILL CONTINUE WORKING
ON THIS AND- AND CONSIDER SOME
EXEMPTIONS ARE SOME WAYS TO HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT
STANDARD. AND WAY TO COMPLY WITH
THIS- REALLY IMPORTANT WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE PLAN. SO WITH THAT I DO
PLAN TO SUPPORT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU SENATOR RUBIO
AND CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT AND LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN THIS AND I ALSO- I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
WOULD. I DON'T WANT TO OUR RE
ITERATED EVERYTHING THAT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM- JUST STATED BUT
THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS ARE YOU
KNOW YOU ALL KNOW THAT I'M- A
STRONG ADVOCATE FOR VICTIMS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ESPECIALLY.
YOU KNOW A VICTIM CENTER
HARASSES IN THE WORKPLACE ARE
OUTSIDE THE WORKPLACE AND- SO I
THINK THIS IS A GOOD INTENT A
BILL BUT I TO HOBBLE SPENDING
CONCERNS AS WELL AS- MY FORMER
COLLEAGUE JUST STATED AND I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST
TAKING A ONE SIZE FITS. ALL
APPROACH AS WE KNOW THAT THERE
ARE THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT
MAY HAVE A HARD TIME COMPLYING.
MAY NOT BE AS FEASIBLE SO I JUST
KNOW THAT BOTH SIDES ARE STILL
COMMITTED. TO CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATION AND IT IS IMPORTANT
TO HAVE THIS IN PLACE BUT-
PLEASE I WOULD ASK THAT THE
AUTHOR CONSIDER- THE DISCUSSIONS
A LITTLE FURTHER AND SEE HOW WE
CAN TAILOR ITS SOUL ALL THE
SMALL BUSINESSES THEY CANNOT.
COMPLY FOR. YOU KNOW AND OTHER
REASONS IT'S NOT PRACTICAL OR
FEASIBLE- JUST CONTAIN A
CONVERSATION JUST WANT TO SAY
THAT ON THE RECORD THANK YOU SO
MUCH. THANK YOU SENATOR RUBIO
CENTER GROVE. I THANK YOU A
MISTER PRESIDENT THIS. BILL IS
USELESS- IT ALREADY CALIFORNIA
ALREADY REQUIRES WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE TRAINING. TO BE ABLE TO
AND BE A- COVERED EMPLOYER IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA YOU HAVE
TO OFFER YOUR EMPLOYEES
WORKPLACE VIOLENCE TRAINING YOU
HAVE TO INCLUDE. AN ACTIVE
SHOOTER TRAINING YOU HAVE TO
DOCUMENT ANY WORKPLACE VIOLENCE
VINCE. THAT CALLOSUM ALREADY
OVERSEES A PROGRAM THAT REQUIRES
I BELIEVE THE BILL WAS PASSED IN
TWO THOUSAND AND SEVENTEEN IT
COULD BE TWO THOUSAND AND
SIXTEEN. BUT AGAIN IT'S ALREADY
REQUIRED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA FOR BE COVERED
EMPLOYER TO PROVIDE WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE TRAINING TO THEIR
EMPLOYEES SUPERVISORS. AND
MAINTAIN A LOT OF WORKPLACE
VIOLENCE WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND REPORT TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE
AS IT IS SEVERELY DUPLICATING.
THANK YOU I HAVE CENTER ALLEN
AND SENATOR ROTH. OUR I JUST
WANT TO SEE S. WITH THE- FOR. MY
FROM ITS THIS. HOUSE BAD-
FEDERAL CAN YOU SPEAK UP HERE
THIS WHOLE SOME RUMBLING BEHIND
US IN THE- BUILDING. YEAH I I'M
JUST I'VE I WANTED PUBLIC
SYSTEMS OF THE COMMENTS FROM THE
- AND THIS. THANK YOU SIR. ROTH
. FAMOUS PRESIDENT YOU KNOW THIS
IS MY FORTY NINTH YEAR. AS A
LAWYER FORTY FIVE OF THOSE I
SPENT WORKING IN THIS LABOR AND
EMPLOYMENT- SPACE AND SOME OF
THE OPPOSITION TALKS ABOUT CAL
OCEAN CAL OSHA REGULATIONS. AND
WHAT I KNOW AND FRANKLY FRANKLY
WHAT WE KNOW. IS IT- IT TAKES
YEARS. TO GET CAL OSHA
REGULATIONS ANY REGULATION FOR
THAT MATTER THROUGH THE
REGULATORY PROCESS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. SO I THINK- WE DO
NEED A BILL ON THIS SUBJECT. MY
CONCERN THAT I'VE EXPRESSED- TO
THE AUTHOR AND FRANKLY TRACKS
WITH THE COMMENTS OF SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES IS- WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT IS THE BILL IF THE
BILL MOVES OUT OF THIS HOUSE
THAT AS IT MOVES TO THE NEXT
HOUSE AND HOPEFULLY OUT OF THAT
HOUSE. COULD IT CONTAIN SOME
FLEXIBILITY IN TERMS OF
DIFFERENCES IN THE WORK FORCE
AND DIFFERENCES IN THE
WORKPLACE. AND I HAVE THE
HIGHEST RESPECT FOR THE AUTHOR
AND I KNOW HE INTENDS TO WORK ON
THAT AND SO FOR THAT REASON I
WILL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL
TODAY WITH AN AYE VOTE. THANK
YOU ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE MEMBERS. ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE SEEN NINE
CENTER CORTESE YOU MAY CLOSE.
THANK YOU AGAIN MR PRESIDENT
COLLEAGUES SOME- LET ME
ACKNOWLEDGE. THAT NOT ONLY DID I
HEAR THE COMMENTS- THAT WERE
MADE BUT I WANT TO. REAFFIRM
THAT WE ARE ALREADY INTO. LET'S
COUNCIL WITH A REQUEST FOR
AMENDMENTS TO DEAL WITH SMALLER
BUSINESSES- WE'VE DONE
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE
THE BILL ISN'T A ONE SIZE FITS
ALL WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT-
SOME OF THE OPPOSITION COMMENTS
THAT. ARE OUT THERE BECAUSE I'VE
SEEN THEM- PASSED ON TO ME- TO.
TO RESPOND TO- ON INDIVIDUAL
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR
EXAMPLE THAT- OPPOSITION SAYING
OH MY GOD WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
PUT SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS IN. OUR
STORES IT DOESN'T EXIST IN THE
BILL THERE'S NO REFERENCE TO.
ANY SUCH THING TWO CAMERAS OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT IN THE BILL-
WE'VE KEPT IT SIMPLE AND BROAD
ENOUGH SO THAT PEOPLE NEED TO
HAVE A PLAN BUT WE'RE NOT
TELLING THEM WHAT THE PLAN. HAS
TO HAVE IN IT- IN- TO OF ONE OF
THE COMMENTS THAT WAS MADE
ACROSS THE AISLE I HEARD THAT TO
KNOW ONE OF. THE KNOWLEDGE TO
MAKE SURE IT'S CLEAR. THAT THE
I. I. P. P. THAT ALREADY HAS TO-
A BE PART OF EVERY BUSINESS- CAN
SIMPLY INCORPORATE THESE SEVEN
ITEMS OF A PLENTY FOR WORKFORCE
BALANCES DOESN'T HAVE TO BE- A
SEPARATE DOCUMENT- SO WE WILL
CONTINUE WORKING. TO MAKE SURE
THAT WERE NOT UNDULY BURDENSOME
ON ANYONE IN PARTICULAR SMALL
BUSINESSES AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
COMING BACK ON CONCURRENCE WITH
THOSE CHANGES- TO DEMONSTRATE TO
ALL OF YOU THAT WE LISTEN VERY
CAREFULLY. THANK YOU AND I

FIVE I CENTER SMALL WORK WITH US
AND ACT RELATING TO PRIVATE
EMPLOYMENT CENTER TO THE FLOOR
IS YOURS THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT
I AM PLEASED TO PRESENT SB SEVEN
TWO FIVE WHICH WOULD CREATE A
SAFETY NET FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS
BY REQUIRING A GROCERY
ESTABLISHMENT THAT CAN TOUCH
CONDUCTS A LAY OFF AS A RESULT
OF A MERGER OR ACQUISITION. TO
PROVIDE WORKERS WITH AT LEAST
ONE WEEK OF SEVERANCE PAY FOR
EVERY YEAR OF SERVICE THIS IS A
COMMON SENSE BILL THAT ENSURES
THAT WORKERS CAN WHETHER THESE
KINDS OF FINANCIAL STORMS. FROM
NINETEEN NINETY THREE TO TWO
THOUSAND IN NINETEEN THE NUMBER
OF GROCERY STORES NATIONWIDE
DECLINED BY ROUGHLY 30% IN TWO
THOUSAND AND NINETEEN ALONE WE
SAW OUR FOOD INDUSTRY MERGERS
AND ACQUISITIONS EXCEED OVER
THREE HUNDRED. THIS HAS ACTED AS
A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE
DECLINE OF AVAILABLE GROCERY
STORES IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND
FOOD DESERT IN MANY OTHERS THESE
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS CAN
HAVE DEVASTATING IMPACTS ON
WORKERS AND THEIR COMMUNITIES
THAT RELY ON THE FOOD AND RELY
ON THE JOBS. THE WARN ACT
PROVIDES SOME EMPLOYEE
PROTECTIONS BUT DOES NOT REQUIRE
EMPLOYERS TO PROVIDE ANY
MATERIAL SUPPORT TO THOSE
NEEDING NEW JOBS IN TWO THOUSAND
AND FIFTEEN WHEN ALBERTSONS IN
HAGEN MERGED. MANY WERE FACED
WITH EXTREME FINANCIAL IN. AND
FORCED TO TAKE ON MULTIPLE SIDE
JOBS TO ACCOUNT FOR THEIR LOSSES
. WE MUST ENSURE. WE MUST ENSURE
THESE ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHO ARE
ALREADY AMONG THE MOST
VULNERABLE IN OUR STATE ARE NOT
FORCED TO ONCE AGAIN FACE
EXTREME FOOD HOUSING AND
FINANCIAL IN SECURITIES. SB
SEVEN TWO FIVE WILL PROTECT
THESE WORKERS BY PROVIDING THEM
WITH THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT THAT
THEY NEED TO TRANSITION AFTER A
MASS LAYOFF AND- THESE ARE GOOD
JOBS THESE ARE MORTGAGES. THESE
ARE CARS THESE ARE STUDENTS
FAMILIES GOING TO COLLEGE.
SHOULD THERE BE LAYOFFS THESE
WORKERS WILL BE COMING TO US FOR
SUPPORT THEREFORE WE MUST ENSURE
WE MUST ENSURE THAT A BASIC
SEVERANCE IS PROVIDED FOR THEM
SHOULD- THESE- MERGERS RESULT.
IN MASSIVE LAYOFFS THAT WILL
AFFECT EVERY COMMUNITY ACROSS
OUR CITY IN WITH THAT I ASKED
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU
SENATOR DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. I
SEE SENATOR WILL SLICE UP. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT- I DID SEE
THIS- PROPOSAL IN IN COMMITTEE
AND A COUPLE MEMBERS ASKED ME
WHY I CAST THE VOTE THE WAY I
DID SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS. I THINK
EVEN TO THE MOST CASUAL OBSERVER
YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE'S A
CONTRACTION IN THE SUPERMARKET
INDUSTRY AND THERE'S TWO LOSERS
IN THIS SCENARIO ONE. CONSUMERS
WHO HAVE NOW LESS CHOICE WHEN

THOSE THAT THAT WORK THAT WORK
AT THE SUPERMARKETS I CAN HAVE A
HIGH SCHOOL FRIEND WE GRADUATE

BILL FOR TWENTY SIX BY CENTER
NEEDLE AND ACALANES CHARTER
SCHOOLS CENTER NILA THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I RISE. USE ME TO
PRESENT SENATE BILL FOUR TWENTY
SIX THIS BILL IS A SIMPLE NAME
CHANGE OR RE BRAND OF THE TERM
NON CLASSROOM BASED INSTRUCTION
TO THE MUCH BETTER SUITED FLEX
BASED INSTRUCTION FOR CHARTER
SCHOOL DESIGNATION. THIS NAME
CHANGE REPRESENTS THE REALITY
THAT NOT ONLY ARE MODES OF
EDUCATION CHANGING TO BE MORE
FLEXIBLE AS WE EMERGE POST
PANDEMIC BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT
MANY OF THE STUDENTS UNDER THIS
DESIGNATION ARE ACTUALLY
PHYSICALLY PRESENT. IN A
CLASSROOM ONE TO FOUR DAYS A
WEEK. I RECENTLY AMENDED THE
BILL TO ADDRESS A CONCERN RAISED
BY STAKEHOLDERS BY STRIKING OUT
THE EXPANDED DEFINITION OF WHAT
EDUCATION MODES- FALL UNDER THE
FLEX BASE DEFINITION- THAT THE
OPPOSITION. OBJECTED TO. THIS
BILL IS IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE
I KNOW THE VALUE THESE SCHOOLS
HAVE ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS
THAT DO NOT THRIVE IN
TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM SETTING
HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS ARE CREDIT
DEFICIENT AND AT RISK OF
DROPPING OUT AMONGST OTHERS. IN
OTHER WORDS IT'S FLEX BASE WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU SENATOR ANY
NUMBER WANT TO BE HEARD ON THIS
BILL. SENATOR OTHER AUTO KILL.
THANK YOU- I THANK TO SPEAK ON
BEHALF IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
M. S. BEFORE FORTY SIX WILL ONLY
CHANGE THE TERM OF NON CLASSROOM
BASED INSTRUCTION TO FLEX BASED
INSTRUCTION THERE FOR
MODERNIZING THE AB APARTMENT IN
THE LOCK. UP SENATE BILL FORTY
SIX DOES NOT CHANGE ANY EXISTING
LAWS OR COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR
THESE TYPES OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
NOR DOES IT AFFECT ANY FUNDING
DETERMINATIONS IN EXISTING LAW.
THROUGH THIS LAW IT IS CLEAR
THAT WHAT THE TECHNICAL
THRESHOLD IS FOR DISTINGUISHING
OR CLASSROOM BASED INSTRUCTIONS
FROM- TRADITIONAL BASED
INSTRUCTION IS ABOUT 80% OR MORE
IN TIME IN A PHYSICAL CLASSROOM-
THIS ITSELF HAS LED TO A LOT OF
CONFUSION AND MISUNDERSTANDING
ABOUT THESE TYPES OF SCHOOLS FOR
FAR TOO MANY YEARS. BEING
LABELED IN SUCH AN INACCURATE
AND NEGATIVE TERM HAS LED TO
MANY DECISIONS AND FALSE
MYTHICAL CONCLUSIONS THAT THE
SCHOOLS LITERALLY HAVE NO
FACILITIES HAVE NO ON SITE
INSTRUCTION AND ARE SOLELY
ONLINE. A CHANGE IS NEEDED TO
HELP FOSTER GREATER AWARENESS
CLARITY AND UNDERSTANDING FOR
THOSE SCHOOLS WHAT THEY ARE WHAT
THEY'RE ABOUT AND HOW THEIR
INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS MEET THE
DIFFERENT NEEDS OF STUDENTS.
INCLUDING STUDENTS WHO ARE HAVE
THE GOAL OF FINISHING THEIR
EDUCATION AND MAY ALSO BE TAKING
CARE OF A CHILD. THOSE WHO- HAVE
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND
BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES THAN
TRADITIONAL CITING BUT HAVE THE
GOAL OF FINISHING THEIR
EDUCATION. AND ALSO STUDENTS WHO
STRUGGLE FOR OTHER REASONS THAT
GIVE THEM A ABILITY TO BE AN
ALTERNATIVE CITING THE BAY TO
CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR
EDUCATION. SO I RESPECTFULLY
URGE FOR AN AYE VOTE- THIS BILL
IS ROOTED IN A MORE FLOOD MORE
FLEXIBLE INSTRUCTION DELIVERY
METHOD THAT BENEFITS THOSE WHO
STRUGGLE. DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS
AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LOOK
FOR ALTERNATIVE ENVIRONMENTS

SENATOR ROTH SECRETARY PLEASE
READ. SENATE BILL EIGHT FIFTEEN
BY SENATOR ROB INOCULATING
HEALING ARTS. SENATE ROTH THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE. THIS IS
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ALL
EVENING. MAYBE ALL WEEK. IT'S
THE MEDICAL BOARD SUNSET
EXTENSION BILL. WITHOUT THIS
BILL THE BOARD IN ITS LICENSING
ENFORCEMENT MEASURES YOU KNOW
WILL EXPIRE AT THE END OF THE
YEAR. IF IT'S PAST THE BILL
EXTENDS THE BOARD BY FOUR MORE
YEARS THE JANUARY. ONE TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY EIGHT. DOES THE
CHANGES THE BILL MAKES VARIOUS
CHANGES TO THE BOARD'S OPERATION
INCLUDING ADDING TO PUBLIC
MEMBERS TO THE BOARD CREATING A
COMPLAINANT LIAISON UNIT
ADJUSTING THE EVIDENTIARY
STANDARD IN SOME CASES. AND
TIGHTENING THE ENFORCEMENT
TIMELINES TO IMPROVE BOARD
EFFICIENCY AND REDUCE EXPENSES
AMONG OTHER CHANGES OUTLINED IN
THE FLOOR ANALYSIS. BUT THE ONE
PART OF THE BILL THAT IS ALWAYS
THE MOST DIFFICULT. IS SETTING
THE LICENSE FEE IN THE LICENSE
RENEWAL FEE FOR POSITIONS
CERTAINLY THAT HAS BEEN THE CASE
THIS YEAR AND THEN SOME. NOW TO
THE FEE BUT FIRST SOME CONTEXT.
THE MEDICAL BOARD IS JUST ONE OF
THE BOARDS AND BUREAUS UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS
THAT LICENSES PROFESSIONALS AND
OTHERS ENGAGED IN BUSINESS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE
OPERATIONS OF THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS
ARE FUNDED ALMOST ENTIRELY. IF
NOT ENTIRELY BY LICENSE FEES
PAID BY THE LICENSEES. THERE'S
NO GENERAL FUND INVOLVED. IN
THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN FOR
YEARS. IN THIS CASE THE MEDICAL
BOARD OPERATIONS ARE FUNDED BY
THE LICENSE FEES PAID BY THOSE
ITS REGULATES THE PHYSICIANS ALL
OF THE BOARDS AND GIRLS ARE
FUNDED EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
SINCE THE MEDICAL BOARD IS
STAFFED BY STATE EMPLOYEES
COVERED BY STATE MO USE THE
BOARD'S OPERATIONAL COSTS
INCREASE EVERY YEAR.
THEORETICALLY THE MEDICAL BOARD
LICENSE FEE SHOULD INCREASES
WELL ON AN ANNUAL BASIS JUST TO
KEEP UP WITH INFLATION. AND THE
MO YOU INCREASES UNFORTUNATELY
DUE TO PUSH BACK FROM THOSE WHO
REPRESENT THE LICENSEES. THOSE
LICENSE FEES HAVE NOT KEPT UP.
PRIOR TO TWO THOUSAND AND TWENTY
ONE THE LAST TIME THE PHYSICIAN
LICENSE FEES WERE INCREASED WAS
IN TWO THOUSAND AND SIX
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO. AT THAT
TIME THE LICENSE FEE WAS SET AT
SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE
DOLLARS FOR A TWO YEAR RENEWAL
PERIOD OR THREE HUNDRED AND
NINETY ONE DOLLARS PER YEAR. PER
POSITION. ALTHOUGH THERE HAVE
BEEN ATTEMPTS TO INCREASE
LICENSE FEES OVER THE YEARS THE
PHYSICIAN. ASSOCIATIONS CMA
PUSHED BACK AND THERE WAS NO
INCREASE. OBVIOUSLY THE
DIFFICULTY. THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE
BURKE BALANCE SHEETS AND BEEN IN
BUSINESS THE DIFFICULTY WITH NOT
PERIODICALLY ADJUSTING THE
LICENSE FEE IS THAT THE
OPERATING EXPENSES CONTINUE TO
INCREASE. WITHOUT AN INCREASE IN
REVENUE TO PAY THEM. THE MEDICAL
BOARD RECENTLY INDICATED THAT
FROM ABOUT 1-996-220-0020 TWO
THE ANNUALIZED INCREASE IN
OPERATING EXPENSES WAS ABOUT
THREE POINT 9% AND THE LICENSE
FEE REVENUE. REMAINED
ESSENTIALLY FLAT. THE RESULT THE
FINANCIAL SITUATION AT THE
MEDICAL BOARD THAT CONTINUE TO
DETERIORATE YEAR OVER YEAR. IN
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY ONE THE
BOARD AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE DETERMINED THAT IN ORDER
TO RETURN THE BOARD TO FINANCIAL
SOLVENCY. THE TWO YEAR RENEWAL
FEE NEEDED TO INCREASE FROM
SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE
DOLLARS TO ONE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS AN
INCREASE OF ONE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY THREE DOLLARS PER YEAR. I
WAS AROUND. AND AT THAT TIME THE
PHYSICIAN ASSOCIATION PUSHED
BACK AND INSISTED THAT THE ONLY
FEE INCREASE THE PHYSICIANS
WOULD ACCEPT WAS A FORTY DOLLAR
PER YEAR INCREASE. DUE TO
DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATED WITH
MOVING THE SUNSET BILL THROUGH
THE LEGISLATURE AND THROUGH THE
SENATE. WE I ACCEPTED THE FORTY
DOLLAR PER YEAR INCREASE AND WE
INCREASE THE TO YOUR FEE FROM
SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE
DOLLARS TO EIGHT HUNDRED AND
SIXTY THREE DOLLARS. WITH THE
COMMITMENT THAT THE PHYSICIANS
AND THE PHYSICIANS ASSOCIATION
WOULD WORK WITH THE BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS COMMITTEES AND THE
ADMINISTRATION. TO REVIEW THE
NUMBERS AND COME TO SOME
AGREEMENT ON WHAT WAS NEEDED TO
AVOID BILLBOARD INSOLVENCY IN
THE INTEREST OF TRANSPARENCY.
AND ACCOUNTABILITY. NOW SINCE
THE LICENSE FEE REVENUE
CONTINUED TO FALL SIGNIFICANTLY
SHORT OF THAT NECESSARY TO COVER
BOARD EXPENSES THE DCA WAS
FORCED TO TAKE MONEY. FROM THE
SPECIAL FUND LICENSE FEE
ACCOUNTS OF OTHER BOARDS AND
BUREAUS IN THIS CASE THE BUREAU
OF AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR AND THE
AUTO MECHANICS. AND LOAN MONEY
TO THE MEDICAL BOARD IN ORDER TO
PAY THE BILLS IN THIS CASE LOANS
OF TWENTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
WITH ANOTHER FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLAR LOAN THIS YEAR FOR A
TOTAL OF FORTY SEVEN MILLION
DOLLARS. DESPITE THE
STAKEHOLDERS COMMITMENT TO
PARTICIPATE IN AN ACTIVE REVIEW
OF THE MEDICAL BOARD'S FINANCIAL
CONDITION. FRANKLY I HAD NO
CONTACT WITH ANYONE ON THE ISSUE
INTO THE SUNSET BILLS INTRODUCED
THIS YEAR RADIO SILENCE CRICKETS
FROM THOSE WHO OBJECT TO WHAT WE
DO. NOW TO THE MEAT OF THE BILL
THIS BILL SETS THE POSITION
LICENSE FEE AT TWELVE HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY NINE DOLLARS A SLIGHT
REDUCTION FROM THIRTEEN FIFTY TO
A COMMON TRY TO ACCOMMODATE THE
PHYSICIANS. FOR TWO YEARS OR SIX
HUNDRED AND FORTY FOUR DOLLARS
PER YEAR. PER POSITION NOW THIS
FEE STRUCTURE WILL ALLOW THE
MEDICAL BOARD TO PERFORMANCE
LICENSE AND ENFORCEMENT FUNCTION
PAY OFF THE LOANS FROM THE OTHER
DC A SPECIAL FUNDS OVER A FIVE
TO SIX YEAR PERIOD. AND BUILD A
MODEST RESERVE FUND BALANCE
COVERING ABOUT THREE MONTHS OF
EXPENSES. WITHOUT THIS FEE
INCREASE THE MEDICAL BOARD'S
FUND BALANCE ITS CHECKING
ACCOUNT IF YOU WILL IS PROJECTED
TO DECLINE HITTING A NEGATIVE
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS. BY
BUDGET YEAR TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE AND REACHING A
NEGATIVE A WHOPPING NEGATIVE OF
ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY NINE
MILLION DOLLARS. IN BUDGET YEAR
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY EIGHT.
TWENTY NINE NOW THAT. LADIES AND
GENTLEMAN IS NEGATIVE SPENDING.
WHEN I PRESENTED THIS LICENSE
FEE TO THE PHYSICIANS
ASSOCIATION THEY AGAIN PUSHED
BACK ON THE INCREASE AND FIRST
INSISTED THAT PHYSICIANS WOULD
ONLY AGREE TO PAY AN ADDITIONAL
SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR.
WHICH OBVIOUSLY WAS INSUFFICIENT
. THEN AT SIX PM LAST NIGHT.
DURING THE FLOOR SESSION AS WE
WERE ALL SITTING HERE HAVING A
GOOD TIME. I RECEIVED A MORE
DETAILED COUNTERPROPOSAL FOR
DISCUSSION PURPOSES. UNDER THE
DRAFT PROPOSAL THAT I RECEIVED
THE ASSOCIATION PROPOSED A
LICENSE FEE INCREASE OF NINETY
THREE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS
PER YEAR NOT THE TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTEEN DOLLARS NECESSARY TO
RESTORE THE BOARD TO FINANCIAL
SOLVENCY. CONDITIONED ON THE
REQUIREMENTS. THAT THE GENERAL
FUND BAILOUT THE PHYSICIANS FROM
THE MEDICAL BOARD'S FORTY SEVEN
MILLION DOLLAR LOAN DEBTS.
LEAVING THE LICENSEES OF THE
OBLIGATION TO FULLY FUND THEIR
MEDICAL BOARD. NOW EVEN IF THIS
WEREN'T A SEA CHANGE IN THE WAY
WE RUN THE DEPARTMENT OF
CONSUMER AFFAIRS NOT THAT I
NECESSARILY AGREE WITH IT BUT
IT'S WHAT WE'RE STUCK WITH. IT'S
A VERY DIFFICULT DEMAND UNDER
THE CURRENT BUDGET CONDITIONS.
OBVIOUSLY AS LONG AS I'M ON THE
COMMITTEE I WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE PHYSICIANS
ASSOCIATION AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS TO TRY TO ACHIEVE
SOME AGREEMENT HERE. IF AND WHEN
THE SUN SET BILL MOVES FORWARD.
ASSUMING THAT THAT'S POSSIBLE.
BUT ANY AGREEMENT WITH ME MUST
ENSURE THAT THE MEDICAL BOARD IS
FULLY FUNDED BY THE LICENSEES IT
SUPPORTS. WITH THAT I WILL SAY
THAT I DON'T REALLY. I THINK
THAT IT SHOULD BE SOLELY MY JOB
TO PERSUADE THIS LEGISLATURE TO
PROPERLY FUNDED THIS PART OF
STATE GOVERNMENT. BUT HERE WE
ARE AND I GUESS I DREW THE SHORT
STRAW. BUT IN MOVING THIS SUNSET
BILL THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE I
ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT MY
COMMITTEE STAFF MEMBERS. HAVE
DONE THEIR BEST WORKING UNDER
VERY DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES
WITH OCCASIONAL OCCASIONALLY
DIFFICULT PARTIES. TO TRY TO
KEEP THIS PART OF GOVERNMENT
RUNNING. OBVIOUSLY GIVEN THE
OBJECTIONS SOME OF THE PHYSICIAN
GROUPS DON'T AGREE. SO AT THIS
POINT- I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST
THAT YOU VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE
BUT I THINK I'LL SIMPLY ASK FOR
YOUR RIVAL TO TRY TO MOVE THIS
BILL OUT OF THE SENATE. AND TO
THE ASSEMBLY TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
WITH IT. I STAND AVAILABLE TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU
