THANK YOU VETERAN SENATORS AB
FOURTEEN IS TWELVE IS A SIMPLE
MEASURE THAT WILL ALLOW
DEFENDANTS WITH BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY DISORDER TO BE
ELIGIBLE FOR PRETRIAL MENTAL
HEALTH DIVERSION PROGRAMS.
BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
AFFECTS 226% OF THE WORLD'S
POPULATION WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER
RATES AMONG WOMEN AND YOUNGER
INDIVIDUALS. PEOPLE WITH BPD
OFTEN EXPERIENCE A CORE KARIMA
HEALTH DISORDERS SUCH AS ANXIETY
AND POLAR- DISORDER THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY ALLOWS PRE
TRIAL MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION
FOR ANXIETY AND BIPOLAR DISORDER
BUT LEAVES OUT BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY DISORDER. EXCLUDING
INDIVIDUALS WITH BPD FROM PRE
TRIAL DIVERSION IS BASELESS AND
ENTRENCHES SYSTEMIC STIGMA.
STUDY SHOWED THAT PEOPLE WITH
BPD WHO RECEIVE THERAPY HAVE AN
85% LESSER CHANCE OF ENGAGING IN
CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR THAN THOSE WHO
DID NOT RECEIVE TREATMENT. AB
FOURTEEN TWELVE WILL ENSURE
PEOPLE WITH BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY DISORDER HAVE ACCESS
TO THE CRITICAL MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES THEY NEED AND AIMS TO
REDUCE RECIDIVISM WITHIN THIS
VULNERABLE POPULATION. YOU CAN
IN SUPPORT OF AB FOURTEEN TWELVE

POINT THREE SIX DIVERSION
PROGRAMS MENTAL HEALTH
DIVERSION. HAS ALREADY DIVERTED
MORE THAN FIFTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE
WITHIN THE TWO YEAR RECIDIVISM

BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER
HOWEVER DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR
MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION THIS
DISORDER IS MISUNDERSTOOD IN
GENERAL IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT THIS DISORDER IS SERIOUS
BUT TREATABLE. IT IS NOT
DISQUALIFIED FROM OTHER MENTAL
HEALTH DIVERSION STATUTE STATUTE
NOTABLY THE VETERANS DIVERSION

SO GOOD MORNING ASSEMBLY MEMBER
HARTLEY HAVEN'T HAD THE PLEASURE
TO MEET REPLACE YOUR HEAVY TODAY
AND PUBLIC SAFETY. SO HAD IT I
WAS READING THAT- GOVERNOR BROWN
HAD ORIGINALLY VETOED A BILL
SIMILAR TO THIS BASED ON- ON THE
CONCERNS THAT- LET'S SEE WHAT
DOES IT SAY HERE. BASICALLY SAID
THAT DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS
WITH THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR THAT
THE- OF THIS PROGRAM AND WHY
CANNOT BE USED AS INSANITY
DEFENSE FOR DISMISSAL
ENHANCEMENTS THIS DIAGNOSES LIKE
ANTISOCIAL PERSONALITY DISORDER
WAS EXCLUDED BECAUSE IT IS BIG
AND IT IS LIKELY APPLICABLE TO
VIRTUALLY EVERY PERSON
ENCOUNTERING THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM. COOLEY EVERY
INDIVIDUAL COMMITTING A CRIMINAL
OFFENCE OTHER THAN MURDER SEXUAL
TENS OR USING A WEAPON OF MASS
DESTRUCTION WHICH ARE INCLUDED
OR EXCLUDED FROM THE PROGRAM
COULD CLAIM TO HAVE IMPAIRMENTS
IN SELF FUNCTIONING OR DIST
INHIBITION AND BE ELIGIBLE FOR
DIVERSION- HAVE YOU FOLKS
CONSIDERED. AT WHAT YOUR THOUGHT
FIRST OF ALL WHAT ARE YOUR
THOUGHTS ON ON ON THAT CONCERNED
THE GOVERNOR HAD WITH REGARDS TO
A BILL- SIMILAR TO ADDRESSING
THIS PARTICULAR- DISORDER WELL I
GUESS MAYBE COUPLE WAYS TO
ADDRESS THAT ARE BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY DISORDER DOES
RESPOND WELL TO TREATMENT AND SO
THE IDEA THAT WE MAKE THOSE
FOLKS ELIGIBLE FOR. DIVERSION TO
GET THE TREATMENT THAT THEY
DESERVE I THINK WILL RESULT IN
POSITIVE OUTCOMES IN THE
EXPERIENCE NEW JERSEY SUPPORTS
THAT AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
PROTECTIONS IN THE LAW CURRENTLY
TO MAKE SURE THAT. FOLKS THERE
APPROPRIATELY DIVERTED- I. ARE
ARE ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES THAT
MAKE SENSE FOR THAT COM THERE-
IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR PRE
TRIAL MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION.
DEFENDED MUST SUFFER FROM A
MENTAL DISORDER THAT PLAYED A
SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE
COMMISSION OF THE CHARGE DEFENSE
AND IN THE OPINION OF A
QUALIFIED MENTAL HEALTH EXPERT
THE DEFENDANT'S SYMPTOMS
MOTIVATING THE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR
WOULD RESPOND TO MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT. AND AGAIN THIS ISN'T-
A REQUIREMENT THIS IS JUST
OPENING UP THE LENS SO THAT
INAPPROPRIATE CASES WHEN- JUDGES
BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE
BENEFICIAL- IT'S AN ELIGIBLE.
PROCESS OKAY THANK YOU SIR THANK
. THE YOU- WHICH IS TO CLOSE. ON
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND
RESPECT REQUEST I'VE IT HAVING
TO HAVE A MOTIONS. ALL RIGHT HI
CAN WE HAVE A ROLE. THE
FOURTEENTH MATCHES THE PAST

MOVE TO ASSEMBLY LACKEY THANK
YOU FOR PATIENCE. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LACK IS PRESENTING AB
FIFTH SIX- FLOORS OR THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SENATORS AND SHARE FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PER THE THIS
MEETING PROPOSAL IN THE FOR OF
AB SO. IT WILL PROVIDE BIG OF BY
CRIME WITH COME FOR EMOTIONAL
INJURIES MAKING THERAPIES AND
OTHER FORMS OF CARE MORE
ACCESSIBLE WHAT THE SURVIVORS
NAVIGATE THEIR TRAUMA THROUGH
ACTUAL RECOVERY PROCESS. A
PREVALENT PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY
THAT WE'VE ALL HEARD OF FOR
VICTIM SURVIVORS AS POST
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER AND
EACH CASE OF PTSD IS UNIQUE
GIVEN TO SURVIVORS HISTORY AN
ACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCE. THE
SEVERITY OF THESE FACTORS COULD
PROLONG THE LINK THE RECOVERY
PERIOD WHICH INTERFERES WITH THE
STABILITY AND THEIR EMPLOYMENT.
AND THEIR ABILITY TO MEET OTHER
OBLIGATIONS. THERE IS AN
IMMEDIATE NEED TO ADDRESS
TRAUMAS PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO IT
CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS HEALTH
ISSUES AND LACK OF ACCESS TO
CARE. COULD BE INFLUENTIAL IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDERS AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
ISSUES. BY PROVIDING VICTIM
SURVIVORS WITH COMPENSATION WE
WOULD VALIDATE THEIR PAIN AND
SUFFERING WHILE COVERING
EXPENSES THAT OCCUR THROUGH NO
FAULT OF THEIR OWN. AB FIFTY SIX
PRIORITIZES ADDRESSING TRAUMA
WITHIN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM WHICH
MEANS THAT WILL WORK TO HEAL OUR
COMMUNITIES FOR BETTER
INTEGRATION. IN ORDER TO MAKE
THEM WHOLE AGAIN. THIS
LEGISLATION EXPEDITED SERVICES
TO HILL TOXIC STRESS WHICH IS
STRATEGIC INVESTMENT TO MINIMIZE
THE COST TO OUR SHARED
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BY LIMITING
THE POSSIBILITY OF ISSUES
MANIFESTING LATER. AS WE
REORIENT REPORT AND I'M SORRY
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WE
SHOULD LOOK TO IMPLEMENT TRAUMA
INFORMED POLICY WHEREVER
POSSIBLE. AND I BELIEVE THIS IS
AN IMPACTFUL STEP IN THAT IN
THAT DIRECTION. AND I HAVE DOWN
TO COULD THAT I'M SORRY JANICA
ACTION OR VERY WELL USUALLY NOT
ON MY TEAM- AND SHE'S HERE. WITH
ME AND SHE'S. DEBT FREE JUSTICE
COALITION WHICH WILL PROVIDE
TESTIMONY. THANK YOU YOU HAVE
TEN MINUTES. THANK YOU GOOD
MORNING DAN ACCORD I'M ON BEHALF
OF INITIATE JUSTICE ALSO WHO IS
A MEMBER OF THE DEBT FREE
JUSTICE COALITION. AND THE
CALIFORNIA RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
POLICY COALITION PLEASE BE
TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF AB FIFTY
SIX- AB FIFTY SIX IS A STEP IN
THE DIRECTION THAT CALIFORNIA'S
FIRING TO GO FOR TRUE JUSTICE
AND PUBLIC SAFETY. THE TERMS
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE ARE THROWN
AROUND IN THE CAPITAL A LOT BUT
OFTENTIMES PRETTY DIVORCED FROM
WHAT IT REALLY MEANS.
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE REQUIRES
IDENTIFYING WHAT HARM HAS
HAPPENED WHAT NEEDS HAVE ARISEN
AS A RESULT AND WHAT IT WILL
TAKE TO MEET THOSE NEEDS TO
REPAIR THE HARM. WHILE
ACCOUNTABILITY BY THE PERSON WHO
IS BECAUSE THE HARM IS AN
IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. IT IS ALSO
TRUE THAT SOMETIMES THE PERSON
WHO IS BECAUSE THE HARM ISN'T
ABLE TO REPAIR IT ON THEIR OWN.
AND IN THOSE CASES THE BROADER
COMMUNITY MUST PROVIDE SUPPORT
TO THE SURVIVOR IN ORDER TO HELP
THEM MAKE IT MAKE THEM WHOLE
AGAIN. THAT'S WHAT AB FIFTY SIX
DOES PROVIDES COMMUNITY SUPPORT
IN THE FORM OF STATE VICTIM
COMPENSATION WHEN SOMEONE IS IN
NEED OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR
EMOTIONAL HARM THEY HAVE
SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF VIOLENCE
. THIS IS WHAT SURVIVOR CENTER
POLICY LOOKS LIKE MAKING CHANGES
TO STATE LAW THAT WILL
MEANINGFULLY ADDRESSED THE NEEDS
THAT ARISE WHEN SOMEONE'S BEEN
HARMED. NOT FALSE PROMISES THAT
CLAIM TO HELP SURVIVORS IN THE
NAY IN NAME ONLY BUT NEVER
ACTUALLY DELIVER ON THAT
PROMISE. WE'LL HAVE MORE TO DO
TO CONTINUE OUR COLLECTIVE WORK
ON SURVIVOR SUPPORT
ACCOUNTABILITY AND PUBLIC SAFETY
BUT THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. AND WE APPRECIATE THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR AUTHORING IT
THANK YOU. THANK YOU DO WE HAVE
ANY OTHER LEAD WITNESSES. ALL

AMENDMENTS. I'M HERE TO PRESENT
SB SEVEN OH NINE WHICH WOULD
ALLOW FOR THE LOWER SUMMER CRIME
HISTORY AND FOR. TO BE PUT. TO
THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE OUR
GOVERNMENT AGENCY CURRENTLY THE
LAW PROVIDES FOR DISCLOSURE OF
LOCAL LOCAL SUMMER CAMP CRIMINAL
HISTORY INFORMATION OF THE
PERSON WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF
THAT INFORMATION TO A PUBLIC
DEFENDER OR ATTORNEY OF RECORD
WHEN REPRESENTING THE PERSON IN
A CRIMINAL MATTER. HOWEVER THERE
IS NO PROVISION FOR DISCLOSURE
BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL PUBLIC
DEFENDER OUR ATTORNEY. CURRENT
LAW INADVERTENTLY HINDERS THE
DISCLOSURE OF EXCULPATORY OR
IMPEACHMENT EVIDENCE REQUIRED BY
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
DECISION AND BRADY VERSUS
MARYLAND WHEN QUICK HIGH VOLUME
DISCLOSURES ARE NECESSARY. SB
SEVEN OH NINE WOULD ALLOW
PROSECUTORS TO MAKE BRADY
DISCLOSURES IN A MUCH MORE
TIMELY AND EFFICIENT MANNER

MANDATE IT BRADY APPLICATIONS. I

NORMALLY HAS TO NOTIFY THE
ATTORNEY IN THE INSTANT CASE
WHERE THE BRADY INFORMATION
AROSE BUT WE ARE THEN REQUIRED
TO NOTIFY. ALL OTHERS DEFENSE
ATTORNEYS AND CLIENTS IN CASES
IN WHICH THAT OFFICER MAY HAVE
BEEN INVOLVED. LOS ANGELES
COUNTY THIS REQUIRES US TO MAKE
LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF BRADY AND
POTENTIAL BRADY NOTIFICATIONS
EACH YEAR. WHEN WE DO THIS B.
ARE PRETTY COMPLIANCE UNIT
NOTIFIES THE LOCAL BRANCH IN THE
AREA UNITS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR EACH OF THE IDENTIFIED CASES
FOR THAT OFFICER. IT A PIECEMEAL
APPROACH THAT REQUIRES.
SUPERVISORS FROM AROUND THE
COUNTY TO MAKE NOTIFICATIONS
INDIVIDUALLY TO THE PUBLIC
DEFENDER OR THE ALTERNATE PUBLIC
DEFENDER'S OFFICE IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY THE PUBLIC DEFENDER
ALTERNATE PUBLIC DEFENDER WIND
UP REPRESENTING ABOUT 85290% OFF
ALL THE NECESSARY BRADY
NOTIFICATIONS. SO IF AB SEVERINE
BECOMES LAW RATHER THAN THAT
PIECEMEAL APPROACH WE CAN SEND
ONE LIST OF CASE NAMES CASE
NUMBERS TO THE PUBLIC DEFENDER
AND ALTERNATE PUBLIC DEFENDER.
THEY CAN THEN NOTIFY US WHICH OF
THOSE CASES BELONG TO THEM THIS
FULL TREMENDOUSLY EXPEDITE THE
NOTIFICATION NECESSARY- WHEN
BRADY REQUIRES SUCH. AB SEVEN
LINE WILL MAKE- BRADY
NOTIFICATIONS MUCH MORE TIMELY
AND EFFICIENT. EXCUSE AB SEVEN
AMMAN WILL ALLOW PROCESS. WITH
EXTRA OUR CONSTANT MANDATED
BRADY BRADY NOTIFICATIONS. IN

WHO HAS APPEALED. MAYBE ADMITTED
BILL HOWEVER WE'RE DISCUSSING
AND TRYING TO COVER. SITUATIONS
WHERE THERE'S A- CONVICTION. NOT
JUST PENDING CASES BUT A ACTUAL
CONVICTION WHERE THERE WAS A
FIRST DEGREE MURDER WITH SPECIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES. AND WE BELIEVE
THAT YOU KNOW THAT THERE'S TWO
RESULTS THERE'S EITHER L. WHAT
LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE OR DEATH.
AND CURRENTLY DEATH DOES NOT
PROVIDE IF SOMEONE IS CONVICTED
. FURTHER SINCE THE DEATH I WAS
YOU DON'T GET A- CHANCE TO GO
FOR BAIL- WE BELIEVE THAT L. UP
WITH IS THE SAME SINCE THE
CURRENT LAW REQUIRES IT TO BE
BASED ON THE OFFENSE. IS JUST A
LITTLE BIT OF CLARITY- THE BILL
STARTED OUT TO BE SOMETHING
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT- IN THE
ASSEMBLY- IT WAS- CHANGED
SIGNIFICANTLY AND SO NOW WE'RE
JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY CURRENT
LAW TO MAKE SURE THAT- IT'S THE
OFFENSE. THAT IS THE-
EXCLUSIONARY- ELEMENT AND- THESE
DEFENDANTS ARE FACING A LOT AND
HAVE NO INCENTIVE TO RETURN TO
COURT FOR SENTENCING AND HAVE
EVERY INCENTIVE TO USE EXTREME
VIOLENCE GETS PUBLIC AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO AVOID CAPTURE.
AND RETURN TO COST FOUR AND
RETURNED TO CUSTODY AND FOR
THESE REASONS WE SUPPORT AB

YOU MADAM CHAIR ALSO THIS IS MY
FIRST TIME EVER TESTIFYING TO
THIS COMMITTEE SO IT TO BE WITH
YOU ALL- GRATEFUL BEARD PRESENT
A. B. EIGHT ONE NINE THERE ARE A
LOT OF THINGS THAT WE
CRIMINALIZE ON OUR PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM- VARYING
DEGREES OF WHETHER IT'S
EFFECTIVE OR NOT DEPENDING ON
WHAT IT IS BUT ONE THING THAT IS
WILDLY INEFFECTIVE. IS
CRIMINALIZING POVERTY EXPLICITLY
. HE MADE THE FAIR THREE TIMES
YOU CAN BE HIT WITH NINETY DAYS
IN JAIL AND A MISDEMEANOR. JUST
FOR MISSING THE FAIR JUST FOR
BEING POOR. THE PROBLEM WITH
THAT IS AN L. A. COUNTY. IF WE
DECIDED TO BUY YOU A METRO PASS
INSTEAD. WE GOT A BUNCH OF
METROPASS FOR THIRTY SEVEN YEARS
WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT WE WOULD SPEND PUTTING YOU
IN JAIL FOR NINETY DAYS.
DECRIMINALIZING FARE EVASION IN
KEEPING IT A CIVIL INFRACTION
FOR THEIR STILL ACCOUNTABILITY.
IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. IT'S
ALSO RECEIVED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
UP UNTIL THIS POINT AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. THANK
YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY WITNESSES
WITH YOU I DO BUT OFFICIALS
STREETS FOR ALL- BUBBA BUBBA.
BUBBA YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES THANK
YOU- OF MORNING MADAM CHAIR
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THANK YOU
SEE A MEMBER BRIAN- I'M BY THE
FISH CORRECTIVE STATE POLICY FOR
STREETS FOR ALL PROUD SPONSORS
OF AB ONE NINE. I'M CURRENTLY IN
CALIFORNIA USING TRANSIT WHEN
YOU CANNOT AFFORD THE FARE GET
YOU CHARGED WITH A MISDEMEANOR.
ON PAR WITH DRIVING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE OR PROPERTY THEFT IN
THE SET SENTENCING UP TO NINETY
DAYS IN JAIL. IN AB ONE NINE
WILL REMOVE THE POSSIBILITY OF
THOSE THE CRIMINALIZATION OF
FARE EVASION IS IN EQUITY AND
SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE. STUDIES IN
CITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY LIKE
DC NEW YORK CITY PORTLAND
MINNEAPOLIS SEATTLE AND LA HAVE
SHOWN THAT FARE ENFORCEMENT
DISPROPORTIONATELY TARGETS.
BLACK BROWN LOW INCOME TRANSIT
RIDERS IN THE PEOPLE OF COLOR
FACE HARSHER PENALTIES WHEN THEY
ARE STOPPED- 50% OF LA METRO
CITATIONS ARE GIVEN TO BLACK
TRANSIT RIDERS DESPITE BLACK
WRITERS MAKING UP NINETEEN
PERCENT. OF OVERALL WRITER SAID
OVERALL RIDERSHIP- SEVERAL
TRANSIT AGENCIES INCLUDING VTA
IN ST CLAIR COUNTY IN ELDORADO
TRANSIT. LIST THEIR FARE EVASION
PENALTY IS QUOTE UP TO THE
MAXIMUM PENALTY ALLOWED BY LAW
WHICH MEANS IF IT IF THE USER OF
AIDS FAIR THREE TIMES. THEY CAN
BE SENTENCED WITH A MISDEMEANOR
AND SPEND UP TO NINETY DAYS IN
JAIL- NOT ONLY DOES THIS
PUNISHMENT NOT FIT THE CRIME THE
NUMBERS. JUST DON'T ADD UP A
TRANSIT PASS COSTS ANYWHERE FROM
ONE TO THREE DOLLARS MEANWHILE
BECAUSE TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY
FIVE DOLLARS A DAY TO
INCARCERATE SOMEONE. IN L. A.
COUNTY JAIL SO THE COST OF
INCARCERATING SOMEONE FOR NINETY
DAYS COULD PAY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BRIAN SET UP TO THIRTY SEVEN
YEARS OF L. A. METRO MONTHLY
PASSES. THAT'S WHY RECENTLY
TRANSIT AGENCIES AND CITIES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY LIKE DC HAVE
REMOVED CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR
FARE EVASION ON PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION. SUTTER DIRECTLY
ADDRESS ANY OPPOSITION THIS BILL
DOES NOT. YOU TREATED ALSO AS A
PROXY FOR OTHER CRIMES- IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN THIS LEGISLATURE
FIRST STOP CRIMINALIZING. AND
INCARCERATING MINERS FOR FARE
EVASION WITH SB EIGHT EIGHTY
TWO- SO THE TIME IS NOW IN OUR
VIEW TO EXPAND THIS POLICY TO
ALL CALIFORNIANS. AND STOP THE
CRIMINALIZATION OF POVERTY- WE
HAVE STREETS FROM RESPECTFULLY
URGE AN AYE VOTE- AND THANK YOU

SAFETY JUSTICE AND- THANK YOU.
THANK YOU I'M THIRTY NINE YOUR
LINE IS OPEN. SURE YOU TO MORE
BEHALF AFTER. EMPLOYEE TO THIRTY
FOR CRIMINAL TO. FOR THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR THERE ARE FURTHER
SUPPORTER OF. IN Q. THE YOU WILL
MOVE THE COME TO COMMITTEE MY-
AS TO VOTE. THANK YOU GOOD
MORNING MORE AND WHILE WERE VERY
FOR HERE THANK- QUESTION FOR YOU
. ON THAT- ON THE FERRY THE- DO
WE HAVE ANY. THAT HAS BEEN
COLLECTED TO- INQUIRE AS TO WHAT
ARE THE PRIMARY CAUSES FOR
PEOPLE TO YOU- TO SKIP PAYING
FOR- FOR THE CLASSES. YEAH I
DON'T THINK- THAT DATA IS
COLLECTED IN A- CALLS AWAY BUT
STRONG ASSOCIATION WITH NOT A
THANK FOR YOUR FARE IS NOT BEING
ABLE TO AFFORD IT OR BALANCING
WHETHER TO PAY FOR IT. VERSUS
THE OTHER THINGS. THAT YOU'RE
BOUNCING IN YOUR LIFE AND
SPECIFICALLY FOR HOURLY
EMPLOYEES WHO USE TRANSIT TO
RIDE TO WORK YOU'RE DOING THE
COST CALCULATION OF WHAT THAT
OUR OF WORK THAT YOU HAVEN'T
WORKED YET IS VERSUS WHAT IT
COST YOU TO GET THERE. AND SO
IT'S JUST A BALANCING ACT FOR
MANY STRUGGLING FAMILIES. OKAY
SO WE DON'T HAVE THE DATA THAT
IT EXPLICITLY SAYS WHAT WHAT THE
CAUSES ARE VERY PATIENT
DIRECTLY- DO WE NOT HAVE IN MANY
OF THE EATS I DON'T LIVE IN AN
AREA THAT HAS A MEASURE SO I I'M
NOT SPEAKING FROM EXPERIENCE
WHICH IS WHY I ASKED THE
QUESTIONS- IN ORDER TO BEST
UNDERSTAND- DO WE NOT HAVE.
PROGRAMS THAT ACTUALLY OFFER-
PASSES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LOW
INCOME. AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF SUBSIDIZED PROGRAM BUT
BUT PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IS NOT
FREE- FOR STUDENTS IN L. A. U.
S. T. WE GIVE THEM ALL TAP CARD
TO MEASURE PASSES SO THAT THEY
WOULDN'T. HAVE THIS PROBLEM
BEFORE WE DECRIMINALIZED- BUT I
THINK FOR MANY THERE THERE'S NOT
A FREE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
OPTION. AND SO WHEN PEOPLE ARE
DECIDING KIND OF WHAT TO SPEND
THEIR LIMITED DISCRETIONARY
INCOME ON SOMETHING LIKE THE
FAIR WHICH YOU NEED- IS IT
SOMETHING THAT. UNFORTUNATELY
TOO OFTEN IS SOMETHING PEOPLE
DON'T FEEL THEY CAN AFFORD. SO
THE ONLY REASON I ASK SOMETIMES
BECAUSE WHEN I TRAVEL TO OTHER
STATES AND I'VE ACTUALLY USE THE
MEASURE AS HE- JUST PEOPLE JUST
BEING. YOU KNOW. WHAT'S THE WORD
LOOKING FROM VENTURE. AND
JESSICA RAY THROUGH ENGINE OVER
AND NOT BEING. AND A NIGHT AND I
DON'T KNOW IF IT'S CULTURAL OR
IF IT'S ACTUALLY. AN ECONOMIC
AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT THAT WE MAKE SURE
THAT WE DON'T PROMOTE A- CULTURE
IN WHICH- YOU KNOW THAT THEIR
PRACTICE CONTINUES JUST FOR THE
NEFARIOUS NO JUST THE
RAMBUNCTIOUS PEOPLE WHO ARE
JUST. TRYING TO BE FUNNY- VERSUS
SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS A NEED.
AND SO THAT'S THAT'S THE ONLY
BECAUSE I HAVE BUT OTHER THAN
THAT I THINK YOU MADE A REALLY
VALID ARGUMENTS. I'M IN YOUR
OPENING IT'S ONE OF THE MOST
CONCISE BUT VERY POIGNANT
ARGUMENTS WE I HAVE HEARD HERE
IN IN PUBLIC SAFETY SO. THANK
YOU FOR MAKING THOSE POINTS I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT YOU
KNOW IN A PLANT THE SEED THAT WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT POLICY
ENCOURAGES. PROPER BEHAVIOR PER
SE- NOT JUST YOU KNOW GIVEN OPEN
- OPPORTUNITY FOR ANYBODY TO
JUST BE RAMBUNCTIOUS FIRST. ONE
AND I APPRECIATE YOU SENATOR AND
I JUST WANTED TO. LET YOU KNOW
THAT WE KEPT THE CIVIL
INFRACTION STILL IN THERE SO YOU
CAN STILL BE GIVEN. A KIND OF A
CITATION FOR FARE EVASION AND I
HAVE PERSONAL FEELINGS ABOUT
THAT BUT I THINK THIS IS A
BALANCED. STEP JUST GOING AWAY
WITH THE DECRIMINALIZING
APPROACH WE WON'T THROW YOU IN
JAIL ANYMORE YOU CAN STILL GET A
TICKET. FOR JUMPING THE FARE THE
SAME. BY THE WAY FOR WHAT
HAPPENS WITH TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS
ARE PARKING VIOLATIONS RIGHT WE
DON'T THROW PEOPLE IN JAIL FOR
NINETY DAYS AND AT THE WITH A
MISDEMEANOR FOR SPEEDING- AND
LESS IT'S JUST LIKE. WOW THE TOO
FAST AS WAS MENTIONED IN THE
TESTIMONY EARLIER YOU NEED A D.
Y. TO GET THE SAME LEVEL OF
PUNISHMENT FOR EVADING THE FARE.
JUST BECAUSE OF POVERTY SO I DID
KEEP THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE
CIVIL INFRACTIONS. AND I HOPE
THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU
SAW AS WELL. YEAH THANK YOU AND
THANK YOU SENATOR HOBOKEN-
SENATOR WIENER. THANK YOU YEAH I
DO I SUPPORT THIS BILL AND I
MEAN WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS VERY
IMPORTANT. TO US ALL THE
REALITIES OF- LETTER FROM BAR
AND- BART. IS NOT ENOUGH TO THE

CRIMINAL I EUROPE SO RIGHT. IN

MAKE. TO TRY TO CUT THE ON VERY
DOT THE BEST WAY DO IT. NOT

SENSE IN THE WORLD TO ME AND I
DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S BEEN IN
MOTION BUT A POPULAR MOVEMENT
THING KILL- ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. I JUST
WANTED TO REMIND FOLKS IT'S-

FIFTEEN NINE EIGHT IT'S PRETTY
WHEN YOU'RE READY. NOT UNFAIR-
AND THEN FOR THE B. FIFTY NINETY
EIGHT IN STORE THAT POTENTIAL
FARM ARE AWAY OF THE PUT REACH
FOR AS WELL AS THE RISKS OF
OWNING AND BRING A FIREARM INTO
THEIR HOME. THERE MANY REASONS
WHY PEOPLE TO CHOOSE TO OWN FARM
BUT THE DATA SHOW THAT BRING A
FAR INTO THE HOME IT MORE
DANGER. IT IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT THAT POTENTIAL FIREARM
PURCHASERS UNDERSTAND THESE
SERIOUS RISKS TO THEY CAN MAKE
AN INFORMED DECISION AND TAKE
THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES
OF RESPONSIBLE FIREARM OWNERS.
THIS BILL WOULD EXPAND WHAT IS
COVERED IN THE FIREARM SAFETY
CERTIFICATION TEST TO EXPLICITLY
INCLUDE THE INCREASED RISKS OF
OWNING AND BRING THE FARM INTO
THE HOME AS WELL AS KNOW ABOUT
LIFESAVING FARM LAWS IN
CALIFORNIA. I FIFTEEN NINETY
EIGHT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THAT
THE OF JUSTICE CREATE A PAMPHLET
THAT PROVIDES THE REASONS FOR
WAR AND RISKS OF OWNING A
FIREARM WHICH WOULD THEN BE
HANDED TO FIREARM PURCHASERS AT
POINT OF SALE. EDUCATING
POTENTIAL FARM PURCHASERS ON THE
INCREASED RISKS OF DEATH BY
SUICIDE HOMICIDE AND
UNINTENTIONAL INJURY IN SHORES
INDIVIDUALS UNDERSTAND THE
GRAVITY OF BEING RESPONSIBLE
FIREARM OWNER IN HERE WITH ME
TODAY IS ANGELA BAYER THE
DIRECTOR OF ENGAGEMENT AND
IMPACT OF THE UC DAVIS. VIOLENCE
PREVENTION RESEARCH PROGRAM AND
THE CALIFORNIA FARM VIOLENCE
RESEARCH CENTER. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BERMAN COME ON NOW- CONTINUE
WITH- WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY NAME IS
ANGELA BAER AND I'M THE DIRECTOR
OF ENGAGEMENT IMPACT AT THE
CALIFORNIA FIREARM VIOLENCE
RESEARCH CENTER. I'M HERE TO
PRESENT MY OWN VIEWS AS A PUBLIC
HEALTH EXPERT. DURING MY TWO
DECADES WORKING ON PUBLIC HEALTH
PROJECTS TO LEARN ABOUT THE
PERSPECTIVES OF DIVERSE GROUPS
OF PEOPLE. I REPEATEDLY HEARD
PEOPLE EXPRESS THEIR NEED FOR
HIGH QUALITY EASY TO UNDERSTAND
INFORMATION. TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
INDEPENDENT CHOICES ABOUT THEIR
LIVES. THIS INCLUDES FIREARM
OWNERS. WHAT DO PEOPLE BELIEVE
ABOUT FIREARMS AND SAFETY FIRST
MOST PEOPLE OWN FIREARMS TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM OTHER
PEOPLE. INCLUDING SIX IN TEN
HANDGUN OWNERS AND TWO IN TEN
LONG GUN OWNERS IN CALIFORNIA.
SECOND MOST PEOPLE IN THE U. S.
OVER SIX IN TEN. BELIEVE THAT
HAVING A FIREARM IN THE HOME
MAKES YOU SAFER. DOES THE
EVIDENCE CONFIRM WHAT PEOPLE
GENUINELY BELIEVE NOW. EVIDENCE
SHOWS THAT ON BALANCE HAVING A
GUN IN THE HOME MAKES THE GUN
OWNERS AND OTHER HOUSEHOLD
MEMBERS LESS SAFE. BY INCREASING
INCREASING THEIR RISK OF BOTH
SUICIDE AND HOMICIDE. A SUMMARY
OF SIXTEEN STUDIES FOUND THAT
PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO FIREARMS
HAVE A THREE TIMES HIGHER RISK
OF SUICIDE INTO TWO TIMES HIGHER
RISK OF BEING A HOMICIDE VICTIM.
THAN THOSE WITHOUT ACCESS. BUT
IT'S HARD TO FIND THIS
INFORMATION OUTSIDE OF ACADEMIA
AND PUBLIC HEALTH CIRCLES.
FIREARM OWNERS AND NON OWNERS
ALIKE THINK SAFETY IS ESSENTIAL.
THIS BILL WOULD ENSURE THAT
FIREARM OWNERS HAVE ACCESS TO
INFORMATION ABOUT THE RISKS OF
OWNING AND HAVING A FIREARM IN
THE HOME. END ABOUT GUN IN
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESTRAINING
ORDERS FOR HIGH RISK SITUATIONS.
THAT INFORMATION WILL INCREASE
OWNERS AWARENESS OF SUCH ORDERS
IF THEY BECOME RELEVANT FOR THEM
AND OTHERS THEY KNOW. AND WILL
ENABLE OWNERS TO MAKE INFORMED
INDEPENDENT AND RESPONSIBLE
DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR FIRE.
THANK YOU. THANK MA'AM DO WE DO

FROM THE STATIC. FOR PEOPLE TO
BUY FIRE. THAT IS COMPLETELY
CONTRARY TO THE RECENT RULING
LAST YEAR FROM NEW YORK STATE
RIFLE AND PISTOL ASSOCIATION
VERSUS BROUGHT. ANY PART OF A
REGULATION HAS TO BE COMPLETELY
OBJECTIVE IT CANNOT HAVE- THE
SOMEBODY'S OPINION AND WITH ALL
DUE RESPECT TO THE- THE RESEARCH
COMMUNITY AND- ALL OF THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE THAT THAT. THINK ABOUT
AND TALK ABOUT- FIREARM SAFETY
AND STOP MANY OF THE STATISTICS
THAT THEY HAVE DEVELOPED ON THE
SITE OR DISPUTED. THE DISPUTED
THEY THINK THEY FORGET TO
MENTION THAT THE- CENTER FOR
DISEASE CONTROL UNTIL THEY WERE
POLITICALLY REQUIRED TO REMOVE
THE INFORMATION POINTED OUT
THAT. TWO POINT FIVE MILLION
PEOPLE A YEAR USE FIREARMS TO
DEFEND THEMSELVES. BASS MOST OF
THE TIME WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO
SHOOT A GUN. HOW DOES THAT
COMPARE WE HEAR ON IN IN THE
NEWS EVERY DAY PEOPLE USING
FIREARMS IN THEIR HOMES TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES. M. THIS LAW
THIS BILL WILL POTENTIALLY
PREVENT SOME OF THESE PEOPLE
FROM HAVING A GUN IN THE HOME IN
ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. SO
BECAUSE THERE IS NO HISTORICAL
ANALOG GOING BACK TO SEVENTEEN
NINETY ONE WHERE THEY WERE LAWS
THAT SAID YOU HAVE TO TAKE A
TEST BEFORE WE THE GOVERNMENT
GIVE YOU PERMISSION. TO EXERCISE
YOUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
THIS BILL IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
IT WILL NOT SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW. WHEN
THE GOVERNOR SIGNS IT BECAUSE
I'M SURE HE WILL THERE WILL BE
AN IMMEDIATE LAWSUIT IN ORDER TO
PREVENT THIS LAW FROM GOING INTO
EFFECT. YOU CANNOT YOU CANNOT GO
AGAINST SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT
CAN'T DO IT. AND WE'RE GOING TO
STAND BY THE SECOND AMENDMENT
AND WE MUST STAND BY THE LIVES
OF TWO AND A HALF TO THREE
MILLION PEOPLE PER YEAR. WHO USE
GUNS TO SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND
THEMSELVES IN THEIR HOMES THE
TRAVELS AND THEIR BUSINESSES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
WE HAVE NOT SUPPORTER KILL THANK
YOU I LIKE TO MOVE TO COMMENTS
BY MY COMMITTEE. SEEING NONE OF
SORRY ASSEMBLY WHO VOTED NOT
THAT QUICK. THANK YOU- MEMBER
BERMAN AND WELCOME TO MORNING I
AM I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU HOW
WOULD YOU ADDRESS THE ABSENT CAN
FOR THE OPPOSITE THAT THE IS A-
ARE WE- THAT THE TO OF JUSTICE
IS CREATE- IN THE SAFETY- IN THE
STATE IS. S. GUIDE AND THAT IS
COULD IT IS BECAUSE IN A READING
HERE SO AND THAT IT. THAT IS ALL
CONTAINED IN EXISTING LAW- IT
SAYS HERE THE DOJ NOTES IN THERE
AND STRUCTURE INSTRUCTOR MANUAL
PURSUANT TO PENAL CODE SECTION
THIRTY ONE AT SIX THIRTY
SUBDIVISION A FIREARM DEALERS
ARE REQUIRED TO MAKE THE BUYER.
ARMS SAFETY CERTIFICATE STUDY
GUIDE AVAILABLE TO THE GENERAL
PUBLIC. AND IT ALSO SAYS THAT
THE DEPARTMENTS NO LONGER
PUTTING THESE HARD COPIES AND
CAN BE FULFILLED BY PROVIDING
THE FOLLOWING LINK TO THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WEBSITE.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION-
MINIMIZE SHARE AND I THINK YOUR
QUESTION ALSO KIND OF. ANSWERS
TO SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT
WERE RAISED BY THE OPPOSITION
TODAY IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT CREATE A
NEW TEST. CALIFORNIA ALREADY HAS
A TEST- AND SO FOLKS WANT TO
CHALLENGE THE CONSTITUTIONAL
VALIDITY OF THAT TEST THEY CAN
DO THAT NOW THEY DON'T HAVE TO
WAIT FOR THE GOVERNOR TO SIGN
THIS BILL BECAUSE OF CALIFORNIA
ALREADY HAS A TEST WHAT THIS
BILL DOES IS THIS- MAKE SURE
THAT WE ASK QUESTIONS. IN THAT
PASSED- THAT THAT TEST POTENTIAL
GUN BUYERS KNOWLEDGE OF THE
RISKS OF HOME OWNERSHIP OF A
FIREARM- SO THAT'S THE FIRST THE
POINT THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THAT PROSPECTIVE BUYERS. OR
BUYERS WHEN THEY'RE PURCHASING
THE GUN AND GET THAT
INFORMATION- IN AS READILY
AVAILABLE AND CLEAR. AWAY AS
POSSIBLE AND SO THAT'S WHY WE
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. FOR GUN
STORES TO HAND THAT PAMPHLET TO
GUN BUYERS SO THAT THEY HAVE
THAT AS OPPOSED TO HAVING THE
LINK TO THE WEBSITE I PERSONALLY
THINK THAT. IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT. THAT POTENTIAL GUN
BUYERS UNDERSTAND THE RISKS SO
THAT NOT SO THAT THEY DON'T BUY
A GUN. BUT SO THAT THEY TAKE THE
APPROPRIATE SAFETY MEASURES AT
HOME WITH THAT GUN SO THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND THE RISKS. OF OWNING
THAT GUN IN THE UNDERSTAND THE
DATA THAT IS VERY CLEAR BLACK
AND WHITE. THAT SHOWS THE RISKS
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TODAY.
THAT THAT SHOW THE RISKS OF
THAT- OWNERSHIP OF A GUN SO
THAT'S WHY- WE ARE REQUIRED
THAT'S WHAT THE BILL WOULD
REQUIRE CERTAIN QUESTIONS TO BE
COVERED IN AND- CERTAIN
INFORMATION TO BE. MORE
THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED AND THAT
THE PAMPHLET BE HANDED TO GUN
OWNERS IN IN THE GUN STORE. AND
I THINK THAT'S THAT THAT WAS MY
MIND THE REASON FOR MY QUESTION.
BECAUSE IT SAYS HERE THAT IT'S
DUPLICATIVE REQUIREMENT THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO CREATE
A SAFETY CERTIFICATE CITY GUIDE
THEY ALREADY HAVE THAT. AND AN
ICE SORRY YEAH. IT ALL RIGHT
THERE ARE HAVE THAT IMPLIES. AB
THE SAFETY SWITCH. SAID GUIDE
AND TO THAT POINT. IT'S
MENTIONED YOU WOULD TO ADD- THE
STUDIES THAT ARE. ARE THEY- DONE
BY A THIRD. OR DONE BY- YEAH THE
DATA SOURCES CAFE YOU FOR THE
CALL THIS EXACT RIGHT SO WE
DON'T WANT TO CREATE A NEW
STUDY. WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT CERTAIN INFORMATION IS
MORE- KIND OF THOROUGHLY AND
COMPREHENSIVELY INCLUDED. IN
THAT STUDY GUIDE AND THERE'S A
LOT OF THIRD PARTY STUDIES
THERE'S A LOT OF CLEAR
GOVERNMENT COLLECTED IN
CALIFORNIA UNFORTUNATELY.
BECAUSE OF OPPOSITION AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS PROHIBITED- FROM
COLLECTING CERTAIN AMOUNTS OF
GUN DATA INCOME VIOLENCE DATA
BUT HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE
COLLECT THAT DATA- AND THAT'S-
THAT'S THE DATA THAT WE GET FROM
FROM LOCAL- PUBLIC SAFETY
AGENCIES THAT STATED THAT WE
GET- IT'S VERY QUANTITATIVE. IT
IS NOT OPINION IT IS FACT- AND
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
FACTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY
GUIDE. NOT SO THAT FOLKS KNOW-
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING
INTO BEFORE BEFORE THEY DO IT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SEE YOU
KNOW FURTHER CONVERSATION
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE. SHE THE QUESTIONS AND
RESPECT AFTER I WROTE THANK YOU-

EVELYN INTRODUCE AB FOR EIGHTY
THREE. S. MEMBER PLEASE APPROACH
THE LECTERN AT THE FOR IS YOURS
. YES MADAM CHAIR AND SENATORS.
AB FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE BRINGS
PARITY TO EXISTING LAW BY
CLOSING A GAP THAT ALLOWS
MULTIPLE FIREARM ACQUISITIONS TO
BE MADE THROUGH PRIVATE PARTY
TRANSFERS. SPECIFICALLY AB
FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE WILL CAP
THE AMOUNT OF FIREARMS AN
INDIVIDUAL MAY ACQUIRE TO ONE
PER THIRTY DAYS. THE SAME
RESTRICTION THAT ALREADY APPLIES
FOR PURCHASES MADE FOR NEW
FIREARMS TO DEALERS. INDIVIDUALS
REQUIRED TO SURRENDER FIREARMS
WILL BE ALLOWED TO TRANSFER MORE
THAN ONE AND THOSE RECEIVING
FARMS AS PART OF A WILL OR
HERITAGE THROUGH THIS BILL. TOO
MANY CALIFORNIANS SUFFER FROM
GUN VIOLENCE STATISTICS PRODUCED
BY THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE INDICATE THAT SOMEONE IS
KILLED WITH A GUN CAN OUR STATE
EVERY THREE HOURS. AT THE STATE
WE MUST CLOSE GAPS IN EXISTING
LAW THAT MAY PERPETUATE FIREARMS
GETTING INTO THE WRONG HANDS.
TWO OTHER STATES ALREADY DO WHAT
THE B. FOURTEEN EIGHTY THREE
INTENDS TO DO NEW JERSEY AND
MARYLAND PLACE SIMILAR
LIMITATIONS ON ACQUIRED MORE
THAN ONE HANDGUN PER THIRTY DAY
PERIOD. NATASHA MINISTER WITH
THE PROSECUTORS ALLIANCE OF
CALIFORNIA IS HERE TO PROVIDE
TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU
DO YOU ONLY HAVE ONE WITNESS I
DO OKAY AND- YOU KNOW WE HAVE
TOO MANY THANK YOU. NATASHA
MINSKER ON BEHALF OF THE
PROSECUTORS ALLIANCE OF
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT. RESEARCH
SHOWS THAT LIMITING THE NUMBER
OF GUNS IN PUBLIC CIRCULATION
DIRECTLY CORRELATES WITH
REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE RESEARCH
ALSO SHOWS SPECIFICALLY THAT
STATE LAWS THAT LIMIT THE NUMBER
OF GUNS THAT CAN BE ACQUIRED
WITHIN A THIRTY DAY PERIOD.
CORRELATES WITH REDUCED
INVOLVEMENT OF GUNS IN ILLEGAL
ACTIVITY. THIS BILL SIMPLY
CLOSES A LOOPHOLE IN CALIFORNIA
LAW BUT A DANGEROUS LOOPHOLE
THAT ALLOWS AN INDIVIDUAL TO
POTENTIALLY ACQUIRE. AN
UNLIMITED NUMBER OF HAND GUNS.
IN A THIRTY DAY PERIOD. THIS IS
A SMART PUBLIC SAFETY MEASURE
AND WE URGE YOUR AYE ABOUT.
THANK YOU- WILL MOVE ON TO OP I

SAME. THE SUPREME COURT. LAST
YEAR RULED THAT. ANY GUN CONTROL
LAW THAT IS BEING PROPOSED. HAS
TO BE LOOKED AT IN THE LIGHT OF
OUR FOUNDING FATHERS IN THE
DRAFTING OF THE SECOND
AMENDMENT. IF A HISTORICAL
ANALOG DOES NOT EXIST OR DID NOT
EXIST IN SEVENTEEN NINETY ONE BY
DEFINITION THAT LAW IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AND WILL BE
OVERTURNED. THE FACT THAT THE
GOVERNMENT CAN. IN IN A WAY THAT
DOESN'T REALLY MAKE A WHOLE LOT
OF SENSE PREVENT PEOPLE FROM
BUYING MULTIPLE FIREARMS WHETHER
IT'S THROUGH A PRIVATE PARTY
WHETHER IT'S A LONG GUN A
HANDGUN OR OR WHATEVER ELSE EVEN
WHEN PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY. OWN
GUNS HAVE ALREADY GONE THROUGH
BACKGROUND CHECKS HAVE ALREADY
PROVEN THAT THEY ARE NOT.
ILLEGAL THIS BILL UNFORTUNATELY
DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO
PREVENT THE CRIMINAL. INTENDED
PEOPLE FROM ACQUIRING ALL THE
FARMS THAT THEY WANT WHICH WE
ALL KNOW THEY CAN. ANY TIME
ANYWHERE THIS ONLY AFFECTS THOSE
WHO WOULD ABIDE BY THE LAW. AND
THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT HAVE THE
RIGHT. TO LIMIT PEOPLE TO BUYING
ONLY ONE FIREARM PER MONTH OF
ANY KIND. THERE ARE LAWSUITS
THAT ARE IN THE PIPELINE ON THIS
AND IT WILL BE NEW LAWSUITS TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS STATUTE.
NEVER GOES INTO EFFECT. THANK
