PROPERTY OWNERS ARE PILLAR TO
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY AND OFTEN
STRUGGLE THE MOST. DUE TO
UNFORESEEN EXPENSES. ONE SUCH
BEING DEVELOPMENT FEES FOR

PROCESS OFTEN LEADS SMALL

MOVING ON TO FILE ITEM NUMBER
THREE AB FIFTY TWO BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GRAYSON THANK YOU FOR
YOUR PATIENCE APPRECIATE. YOU
WAITING AROUND. ALL THAT. THE
FOR YOUR SEARCH GOOD AFTERNOON
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE BEFORE I BEGIN I'D
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT
THE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS LISTED
ON PAGE FIVE OF THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. THAT WOULD REQUIRE A
CREDIT TO BE CLAIMED ON ORIGINAL
TIMELY FILED RETURNS DIRECT
TAXPAYERS TO MAINTAIN EXEMPTION
CERTIFICATES INVOICES AND ANY
OTHER DOCUMENTATION NECESSARY TO
VERIFY THE CREDIT- TO BE
PROVIDED TO F. T. B. AT ITS
REQUEST. ADDING RECAPTURE
LANGUAGE SIMILAR TO THE
CONCURRENT OR TO THE CURRENT
EXEMPTION THAT DIRECTS F. T. B.
TO RECAPTURE THE CREDIT IF THE
EQUIPMENT PURCHASE TO GENERATE
THE CREDIT IS CONVERTED OR- TO A
NON EXEMPT USE OR REMOVED FROM
THE STATE. AND ALSO ADD LANGUAGE
ALLOWING TAX INFORMATION SHARING
BETWEEN F. T. B. AND CD TFA
NECESSARY TO EFFECTIVELY
ADMINISTER THE CREDIT. AB FIFTY
TWO SIX TO INCENTIVIZE LONG TERM
INVESTMENTS AND FUEL EXPANSION
IN CALIFORNIA'S MANUFACTURING
INDUSTRY BY PROVIDING WHAT WOULD
ESSENTIALLY BE FULL SALES AND
USE TAX EXEMPTION FOR THE
PURCHASE OF MANUFACTURING
EQUIPMENT. THE MEASURE WOULD
ACCOMPLISH THIS BY PROVIDING A
STATE TAX CREDIT FOR THE LOCAL
SALES TAX PAID BY MANUFACTURERS
FOR QUALIFIED EQUIPMENT
PURCHASES THIS WOULD FACILITATE
THE GROWTH HIRING AND TRAINING
OF SKILLED WORKFORCES FOR THE
FUTURE AND PROVIDE HIGH WAGE
JOBS FOR CALIFORNIANS. PREPENDED
MAKE CALIFORNIA'S MANUFACTURING
SECTOR HAD ALREADY FACED A
DECLINE IN TOTAL EMPLOYMENT MUCH
OF THIS DECLINE HAS BEEN A
RESULT OF CALIFORNIA STEEP COST
OF DOING BUSINESS WHICH IS ONE
OF THE HIGHEST IN THE NATION.
THE COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC HAS
FURTHER CHALLENGE CALIFORNIA'S
MANUFACTURING SECTOR OVER THE
LAST TWO YEARS CALIFORNIA HAS
ATTRACTED LESS THAN 1% OF THE
COUNTRY'S MANUFACTURING
INVESTMENTS WITH- WITH OTHER
STATES AGGRESSIVELY ATTEMPTING
TO LURE. OUR STATE'S
MANUFACTURERS WITH ATTRACTIVE
LOWER BUSINESS COST AND LOCATION
INCENTIVES THIS BILL WOULD HELP
TO REVERSE THESE TRENDS AND MAKE
CALIFORNIA MORE ATTRACTIVE TO
INVESTMENT ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT
OF THE FACT. THE THIRD EIGHT
STATES ALREADY HAVE A FULL SALES
AND USE TAX EXEMPTION FOR
MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT
PURCHASES AND ANOTHER FIVE
STATES HAVE NO SALES TAX AT ALL.
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE STATE
FIND WAYS TO MITIGATE FINANCIAL
BURDENS PROMOTE INCREASED
PRODUCTION AND INSURE THE GROWTH
OF HIGH WAGE JOBS FOR A VARIETY
OF SKILL LEVELS AND BACKGROUNDS.
IN ONE OF THE STATE'S ESSENTIAL
INDUSTRIES A STOUT MANUFACTURING
JOB BASE IS KEY TO GLOBAL AND
DOMESTIC COMPETITIVENESS
ESPECIALLY FOR OUR ECONOMY
BECAUSE OF ITS BREATH AND IT'S
VARIETY. THERE IS A
MISCONCEPTION THAT ALL
MANUFACTURING IS DONE ON ON A
LARGE INDUSTRIAL SCALE BUT OVER
70% OF MANUFACTURERS HAVE LESS
THAN TWENTY EMPLOYEES SMALL AND
MEDIUM SIZE MANUFACTURERS. FACE
A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF
ECONOMIC BURDENS INCREASED
CAPITAL COSTS DUE TO THE
PANDEMIC AND ONE OF THE HIGHEST
STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAX RATES
IN THE NATION. AB FIFTY TWO
WOULD HELP TO EASE SOME OF THOSE
ECONOMIC BURDENS AND CALIFORNIA
HAS COMPARATIVE MANUFACTURING
ADVANTAGES TO OTHER REGIONS OF
THE WORLD DUE TO THE STRENGTH
AND DEPTH OF ITS INNOVATION AND
TECHNOLOGY. NOT ONLY DOES THE
INDUSTRY EMPLOYED ONE POINT
THREE MILLION PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA. IT ALSO PLAYS A ROLE
IN CREATING NEW JOBS WITH ITS
MULTIPLIER EFFECT SUPPORTING TWO
POINT FIVE JOBS FOR EVERY ONE
MANUFACTURING JOB. MANUFACTURING
PLAYS A CRUCIAL AN ESSENTIAL
ROLE WITHIN OUR STATE'S ECONOMY
SUPPORTING HIGH WAGE JOBS AND
SMALL BUSINESSES WITH ROOM TO
GROW. IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS
LEGISLATION COULD BE THE TIPPING
POINT TO ENCOURAGE A NEW QUOTE
INVENT HERE MANUFACTURING HERE
REALITY BY INCENTIVIZING
COMPANIES TO PLANT ROOTS IN OUR
STATE AND TO GROW. AB FIFTY TWO
HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS A JOB
CREATOR BILL BY CALCHAMBER IS
SUPPORTED BY SUCH GROUPS AS
CALIFORNIA LIFE SCIENCES
ASSOCIATION AND THE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE AND IS
SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA. AND
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION WITH THAT
I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT THIS
MEASURE PASSED UP THE ASSEMBLY
FLOOR WITH A VOTE OF SEVENTY
SEVEN TO ZERO. AND I DO HAVE A
WITNESS TO THE CHAIR LANCE
HASTINGS PRESIDENT CEO OF THE
CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS AND
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION. MADAM
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS
LANCE HE SEES WITH THE
CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS AND
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION. WE
APPRECIATE MR GRAYSON KAREN THIS
BILL FORWARD BECAUSE WE'RE NOW
ENTERING THE FOURTH YOUR POST
CODE. MANUFACTURES DESIRING TO
MAKE INVESTMENTS IN THEIR
CATHOLIC WOMEN THAT HAS BEEN-
SADLY IGNORED FOR THE FOUR YEARS
SAID OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY.
THE COST OF CAPITAL IS INCREASED
WITH INTEREST RATES INFLATION
AND THIS IS A PARTICULAR BENEFIT
TO THE SMALLER MEDIA
MANUFACTURER REALLY RELY ON
THEIR- EQUIPMENT TO MAKE THEIR
GOODS IN THIS WOULD REALLY BE A
BOOST AND SHOW THEM. THAT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS A PARTNER
WITH THEM IN THE ECONOMIC SECTOR
THAT IS MANUFACTURING. IN MY
VIEW A CRITICAL SECTOR TO THE
STATE'S ECONOMY. GOOD THANK YOU

MAN TRYING. FOUR YEARS THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I WANT TO BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENT
REQUESTED IN THE ANALYSIS. AB
SIXTEEN EIGHTY FOUR SIX TO GIVE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MORE TOOLS TO
COMBAT ILLICIT CANNABIS MARKET
DESPITE THE LEGALIZATION OF
CANNABIS IN TWENTY SIXTEEN WE
HAVE NOT SEEN REDUCTION IN
ILLEGAL AND UNLICENSED
COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITY IN
FACT THE ILLEGAL MARKET STILL
MAKES UP APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY
TO EIGHTY PERCENT. OF THE
INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA
UNLICENSED ACTIVITY POSE A
SIGNIFICANT DANGER TO THE PUBLIC
TO THE ENVIRONMENT INTO THE
VIABILITY OF THE LEGAL MARKET
PLACE AB SIXTEEN EIGHTY FOUR
ALLOWS FOR INCREASED
ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT.
AGAINST UNLICENSED COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS ACTIVITIES AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL AND CREATES OPPORTUNITIES
FOR GREATER COOPERATION BETWEEN
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS AND THE
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
CURRENT LAW ALLOWS LOCAL
AGENCIES TO IMMEDIATELY IMPOSE
ADMINISTRATIVE FINES OR
PENALTIES FOR ILLICIT CANNABIS
CULTIVATION THIS BILL EXPANDS
HAD A STORY TO VIOLATIONS THAT
EXIST AS A RESULT OF ANY TYPE OF
ILLEGAL CANNABIS ACTIVITY. SUCH
AS MANUFACTURING DISTRIBUTION
AND RETAIL SALE. WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT AS DEPUTY
ATTORNEY GENERAL ETHAN TURNER.
VERY GOOD MAN CHAIR. EVAN TURNER

REGULATED COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
INDUSTRY BECAUSE IT ENSURES
THAT. SAFE CANNABIS AND CANNABIS

USE AND ALSO. TO WRONG SOME OF
THE INEQUITIES WERE CAUSED BY
THE WAR ON DRUGS. I'M A FORMER

COUNCIL AND A FORMER A DIRECTOR
OF A LOCAL COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
PROGRAM AND WAS DIRECTLY
INVOLVED IN- OFFERING AND-
IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS AND
ORDINANCES. FOR COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS ACTIVITY AND TO ADDRESS
ILLEGAL OPERATIONS. AND TODAY.
CURRENTLY MOST LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS RELY PRINCIPALLY
ON CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT METHODS
TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL CANNABIS
OPERATIONS AND ALSO ON CIVIL
LITIGATION. THIS BILL SUPPORTS
ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE
ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION
FORSMAN CAN BE UNDERTAKEN AT A
MUCH LARGER SCALE MUCH MORE COST
EFFECTIVELY IT'S MUCH QUICKER
AND DOES NOT. CARRY WITH IT SOME
OF THE INHERENT RISKS I IN IN
COLLATERAL IMPACTS THAT
NATURALLY ATTENDED CAN ATTEND
CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. SB
SIX NINETY FOUR WILL ENCOURAGE A
SHIFT TOWARDS GREATER USE OF
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION LEADING TO
BROADER- AND MORE AND GREATER
FORCE AROUND THE STATE AGAINST
ALL ALL TYPES OF LEGAL CANNABIS
ACTIVITY. AND ALSO WE HOPE WILL
INITIATE A SHIFT AWAY FROM DRUG
WAR TACTICS TOWARDS TREATING
CANNABIS MORE IS A LAND USE
ISSUE AND IS UNLICENSED BUSINESS
PRACTICE- LIKE ANY OTHER.
COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISE OR
CULTURAL ENTERPRISE THAT
REQUIRES A STATE LICENSE AT A
LOCAL PERMIT. ADDITIONALLY SB
SIX IN EIGHTY FOUR WILL SUPPORT
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS WHO HORANA
UNABLE ON THEIR OWN TO TAKE
SEVERAL ACTIONS UNDER BUSINESS
AND PROFESSIONS CODE TWO SIX
ZERO THREE EIGHT WHICH IS THE
STATUTE THAT ALLOWS LAWSUITS TO
COLLECT TRIPLE DAMAGES AGAINST
UNLICENSED OPERATORS. BECAUSE
THE THRESHOLD REQUIREMENTS FOR
THAT STATUE REQUIRED AT A LOCAL
JURISDICTION HAVE AT LEAST SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE IN THEIR IN THEIR
JURISDICTION ONLY ELEVEN
COUNTIES AND A HANDFUL OF CITIES
CAN UNDERTAKE ACTIONS UNDER THAT
STATUTE. IN THIS BILL ENCOURAGES
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO- REFERRAL
CASES- A LARGE CASES TO
DETERMINE GENERAL'S OFFICE FOR
THOSE KIND OF ACTIONS- AND
FINALLY THIS BILL. DOES NOT
CHANGE ANYTHING ABOUT THE
ADMINISTRATIVE REMEDIES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO WERE
CITED FOR ANY. VIOLATION OF ANY
LOCAL ORDINANCE INCLUDING
CANNABIS VIOLATIONS EVERY COUNTY
AND CITY IS REQUIRED TO HAVE
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEAL PROCESS IS

INSERT RIGHT HERE THAT WE HAVE
ONE MORE BILL THAT'S ON THE
DOCKET TODAY. WE NEED A QUORUM
OF OUR COMMITTEE IN ORDER TO
VOTE ON ALL OUR BILLS SO I WANT
TO. ENCOURAGE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE TO PLEASE BE PREPARED
TO COME DOWN HERE. IMMEDIATELY
AND DOUBT AND ALSO IF WE COULD
CALL THE ONE REMAINING ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THAT HAS YET TO PRESENTER
BILL THAT WOULD BE TERRIFIC SO
WE CAN LET HER KNOW THAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE. PREPARED TO TAKE UP
YOUR BILL RECOVERY SOON- SO
WE'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS COMMENTS
CONCERNS. YES CENTER DOLLY BOTH
THE C. USE IN THE MEMBER AND-
I'M REALLY DECIDE THIS BILL FOR
THE FIRST TIME COMMUNITIES ALSO
I THINK IT'S A GREAT ATTEMPT TO-
YOU KNOW CURB THE ILLICIT MARKET
AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET THE
LEGAL MARGO BUT I WANTED TO I
WAS. CURIOUS TO WHAT THE
AMENDMENT WAS- I DON'T HAVE
ANYTHING IN HERE THAT TALKS
ABOUT WHAT THE WHAT WHAT THE
CONCERN WAS. BY NORMAL. THERE IS
SO WEIRD WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH
THEM OVER A LONG PERIOD TIME
WE'VE HAD A GREAT. YOU KNOW I
THINK IS WHEN SAID WE'VE HAD A-
REALLY GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH
WORKING ON IT AS- WE MOVE
FORWARD- WHAT I DID AT THE I
BELIEVE THE SORT OF WHERE WE'RE
AT- IT. IS IT'S- THAT THE
AMENDMENT WOULD PROHIBIT. ONLY
ILLEGAL CANNABIS. OPERATIONS THE
WORDING LEGAL. WELL I AM IN
AGREEMENT WITH THAT THE ONLY
ISSUE IS THAT- CURRENT LONG. HAS
IT THERE'S A DIFFERENT
DEFINITION OF IT AND CURRENT LAW
SO THAT WOULD SORT OF CHANGE
CURRENT LAW. IF YOU'RE- SO. I
AGREE WITH THE POINT OF IT. AND
WE'RE HOPING WE CAN WORK THROUGH
THAT IT'S REALLY KIND OF COMING
DOWN TO A LEGAL DEFINITION. THAT
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS BILL
IS CONSISTENT WITH WHERE CURRENT
LAW IS DOES THAT. MAKE IT AS
HELPFUL I'VE GOT ANOTHER
QUESTION I HAD TO WAS THERE WAS
MENTION OF. A THRESHOLD OF SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND CAN YOU.
EXPLAIN I'M THIS WILL BE
AVAILABLE IN MY SMALLER
COUNTIES. I'M CRACKED IT WILL
THE IDEA ISN'T ABOUT THE NUMBER
OF PLANTS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE
CURRENT STATUS OF THE LAW TALKS
ABOUT CULTIVATION. SO THAT'S
WHERE SORT OF THE NUMBER IS AND
THAT'S THAT'S CURRENT WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT A SORT OF
EXPANDING THAT. BEYOND JUST
CULTIVATION. THAT'S WHAT THE
PURPOSE OF THIS IS SO IT'S
REALLY NOT. A NUMBERS ISSUE
REALLY ISN'T APPLICABLE TO WHAT
WE'RE TRYING. TO DO IS IF YOU'RE
LISTENING AND YOU DON'T HAVE A
IF YOU HAVE A PERMIT OR LICENSE.
THEN YOU'RE YOU CAN HAVE CIVIL
PENALTIES CRACKED. AWESOME THANK
YOU ABOUT. IT THAT THAT UP THE
AMEND THAT IS PROPOSED BY THE
COMMITTEE IS TO CHANGE THE TERM
ILLEGAL TO UNLICENSED THAT. IN
AND YOU'RE ACCEPTING THAT
AMENDMENT. MAY VERY GOOD
THURSDAY OCTOBER DID YOU HAVE A
QUESTION. CENTER BREAKS FOR. YES
I THINK THIS IS REALLY GOOD BILL
AND I'M I APPRECIATE YOU BRING
IT FORWARD I THINK THE COURT THE
ISSUE OF- SOMEHOW. IN SNARING
PERSONAL GARDENS AND PEOPLE
GROWING IT FOR MEDICAL USE I
THINK THAT WAS THE CONCERN. FROM
NORMAL THAT I UNDERSTOOD SO.
CHANGING IT TO UNLICENSED STILL
ALLOWS FOR THE PERSONAL USE OF
PEOPLE'S GARDENS TO BE. TO NOT
GET. CAUGHT UP IN THIS RIGHT
YEAH AND I NEED TO BE YOU KNOW
AS- I SAID THE CENTER VALLEY.

ISSUES WE'VE WORKED ON I'M

WILL ALLOW INDIVIDUALS TO SIGN
UP FOR THE CALIFORNIA ORGAN AND
TISSUE DONOR REGISTRY ON STATE
INCOME TAX FORMS. ORGAN AND
TISSUE DONATION SAVE THOUSANDS
OF LIVES EACH YEAR UNFORTUNATELY
CALIFORNIA LAGS BEHIND OTHER
STATES IN DONOR REGISTRATION
WELL OVER TWENTY THOUSAND
INDIVIDUALS AWAIT A TRANSPLANT
BY FAR THE MOST EFFECTIVE
PROGRAM IS- THE- REGISTRATION
METHOD DONATE LIFE CALIFORNIA.
HAS USES THE- DMV METHOD ASKING
APPLICANTS FOR DRIVER'S LICENSES
AND IDENTIFICATION CARDS TO SIGN
UP FOR THE REGISTRY WITH OUR
NEED TO GROW THE REGISTRY AND
THE TREND SHOWING YOUNG SLOW
SHOULD SHOWING DRIVER'S LICENSE
APPLICATIONS DIPPING AMONG YOUNG
PEOPLE IT IS APPROPRIATE TO LOOK
FOR NEW METHODS. TO REGISTERED
OWNERS I AM PLEASED TO HAVE WITH
ME AS MY WITNESS NANCE LUCY
FIELDER PROGRAM MANAGER FOR
DONATE LIFE CALIFORNIA. VERY
GOOD WELCOME. MY NAME IS LACI
FELDER AND I AM HONORED TO STAND
BEFORE YOU TODAY AS A PROGRAM
MANAGER AT DONATE LIFE
CALIFORNIA. WHEN I WAS TEN
MONTHS OLD MY PARENTS WERE TOLD
THAT I WAS IN HEART FAILURE. I
HAD CAUGHT A VIRUS THAT ATTACKED
MY HEART AND HEART TRANSPLANT
WAS MY ONLY OPTION TO LIVE. MY
FAMILY AND I WAITED EIGHT MONTHS
BEFORE WE GOT THAT SO
CONFLICTING HEART WRENCHING
MIRACLE OF A PHONE CALL. A
TWENTY TWO MONTH OLD BABY FELL
FROM A THREE STORY BUILDING
RIGHT NEAR HERE COSTUMES THE
STREET ACTUALLY. HIS NAME WAS
JAMES AND HE IS MY HERO. FOREVER
MY GUIDING LIGHT AND LYFT. LAST
OCTOBER I CELEBRATED THIRTY TWO
YEARS WITH BABY JAMES HART AND I
LIVE EACH AND EVERY DAY FOR BABY
JAMES AND HIS FAMILY. THE MOST
CHALLENGING ASPECT OF ADVOCATING
FOR ORGAN DONATION AS A
TRANSPLANT RECIPIENT. IS THE
FACT THAT WE LOOK LIKE NORMAL
PEOPLE YOU CAN'T SEE THE
HUNDREDS OF INCHES OF SCARS. OR
THE GRATITUDE FOR SIMPLY LIVING
. MY JOURNEY HASN'T BEEN AN EASY
ONE. AND BECAME EVEN HARDER WHEN
I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH KIDNEY
FAILURE AND HIGH SCHOOL. I'M SO
LUCKY THAT MY BROTHER TYSON
STEPPED UP AND DONATED HIS
KIDNEY TO ME IN TWO THOUSAND
SIX. MY SECOND HERO. BECAUSE OF
TYSON A BABY JAMES I'VE BEEN
ABLE TO BE THE FIRST PERSON MY
FAMILY TO GET A COLLEGE DEGREE.
MOST RECENTLY I MARRIED THE LOVE
OF MY LIFE AND WE'RE NOW ON THE
JOURNEY OF STARTING A FAMILY
THROUGH SURROGACY. ORGAN
DONATION DOESN'T JUST SAVE LIVES
IT TRANSFORMS THEM. IT CREATES
MEMORIES EXPERIENCES AND
MILESTONES THAT WE DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW WERE POSSIBLE. BY PASSING
AB TWELVE SIXTY EIGHT YOU ARE
GIVING HOPE TO OVER TWENTY
THOUSAND CALIFORNIA'S WAITING
FOR LIFESAVING ORGAN. CURRENTLY
THOSE TWENTY THOUSAND
CALIFORNIANS REPRESENT A DIVERSE
COMMUNITY WITH OVER 45% BEING
HAS BUT HISPANIC OR LATINO. 21%
WHITE 20% ASIAN AND 10% AFRICAN
AMERICAN. UNFORTUNATELY SIX
THOUSAND PEOPLE DIED WAITING FOR
AN ORGAN IN THE U. S. IN TWO
THOUSAND ONE OR TWO THOUSAND
TWENTY ONE. AB TWELVE SIXTY AIMS
TO CHANGE THAT NUMBER AND HELP
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF
CALIFORNIANS SAY YES TO
ORGANIZED TISSUE DONATION.
CURRENTLY WE ARE VERY PROUD THAT
THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE DMV HAS
GOTTEN THE DONATE LIFE
CALIFORNIA DONOR REGISTRY TO
REACH OVER. EIGHTEEN POINT SIX
MILLION CALIFORNIANS. THIS IS A
HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR A STATE
BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S STILL
ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT HALF OF
OUR POPULATION. AB TWELVE SIXTY
EIGHT WILL ALLOW THE REGISTRY
QUESTION TO GET PASSED ON ANNUAL
BASIS. WHICH IS SOMETHING WE
TRULY FEEL WILL SAVE LIVES. I'VE
MADE IT MY LIFE'S MISSION TO
HONOR BABY JAMES AND MY BROTHER
EVERY SINGLE DAY AND HELP GIVE
THE TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE
WAITING FOR AN ORGAN IN
CALIFORNIA THE SAME CHANCES ME.
BY SUPPORTING AB TWELVE SIXTY
EIGHT I KNOW THE LIVE SAVE WILL
BE WORTH IT. AND IT WILL GIVE
EVEN MORE CALIFORNIANS
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY YES AND
TRANSFORM MORE LIVES JUST LIKE
MINE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY. AND REMEMBER LIVE
LIFE TO THE FULLEST WE DON'T
ALWAYS GET A SECOND CHANCE.
