THIS WERE NOT- TRULY PROTECTING.
THE LABOR FORCE THAT ARE OUT
THERE WORKING TRYING TO PROVIDE
FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND TRYING TO
GET A- A GOOD DECENT- PAY AND DO
THAT THE RIGHT THING. AND SO I
THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT THAT WE
DO THAT AND I'M HOPING THAT THIS
BLOSSOMS INTO THE OTHER- TRAJAN
UNIONS AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
WORKERS ARE WELL TAKEN CARE OF.
WELL PAID WORKMAN'S COMP AND
EVERYTHING ELSE AND- SAFETY ON
THE JOB IS SO IMPORTANT AND THIS
IS PART OF IT SO- WHEN IT'S
APPROPRIATE I'D LIKE TO MOVE THE
BILL. THANK YOU CONGRATULATIONS
THANKS IN LARGE LETTERS AND
REMEMBER HOLD MAJORITY CLOSE.
RESPECT WELL I'M SORRY I DIDN'T
DIDN'T MEAN TO MISS CENTER NEAR
. THANK YOU. OF ONE OF YOUR
WITNESSES STATED I THOUGHT I
HEARD SOMETHING TO THE CONTRARY
BUT IT APPEARS TO ME THAT. AS
WRITTEN THE BILL WOULD BE A
PROBLEM FOR SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS WHERE THE OWNER IS THE
ONLY WORKER WITHIN THE BUSINESS-
AND THIS BILL WOULD APPEAR TO
PROVIDE- THE- SAME- RESTRICTION
THAT IS APPLIED MORE BROADLY BY
THE BILL. IS THAT THE CASE. WHAT
ARE THE THINGS THAT I. MAKE A
COMMENT ON INITIALLY WAS WHEN
THE COMMITTEE HAD SOME QUESTIONS
AROUND. A LARGE SCALE-
DEVELOPMENT OR OR PROJECTS AND
SHOULD MAYBE BE CONFINED IN THAT
WAY I THINK WHAT. WE'RE SAYING
IS THAT THERE'S PROTECTIONS AND
STRENGTHENS THE BEEN MADE IN THE
BILL TO CREEK CLEAR SEPARATION
BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE NEED
TO. DO SOME ADDITIONAL AMENDING
TO MAKE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR- WILL
PREPARE ENOUGH AND ALSO
DEFINITIONS OF. LARGE PROJECTS
WOULD BE HELPFUL AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE MAKING A COMMITMENT TO THE
COMMUNITY. MY QUESTION DOESN'T
HAVE TO DO WITH THE SIZE OF THE
PROJECT THAT HAS TO DO WITH-
SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS THAT MAY
BE A SOLE PROPRIETORSHIP. AND HE
OR SHE IS THE ONLY PERSON
PERFORMING THE WORK. REGARDLESS
OF THE SIZE OF JOBS. WHAT THANK
YOU FOR THE QUESTION- IF THEY IF
A SOLE PROPRIETOR- IS BEING
CONTRACTED SAFE BY A HOMEOWNER
OR BY THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR
THERE'S NO. RESTRICTION THE BILL
IN THE FIRST LINE TALKS ABOUT A
SPECIALTY CONTRACTOR SERVING TO.
OTHER C. LICENSE CONTRACTORS
THAT ARE ALLOWED. ONE SOLE
PROPRIETOR SO ANOTHER FULL
PROPRIETOR AND THE REST WOULD
HAVE EMPLOYEES TO. CURB RAMPANT
MIS CLASSIFICATION SO
SPECIFICALLY ONE SOLE PROPRIETOR
WOULD BE ALLOWED BUT NOT MORE
THAN ONE- HIRED BY. ONE
SPECIALTY CONTRACTOR BUT AGAIN
THE GENERAL OF THE LICENSED
CONTRACTOR CAN HAVE CAN WRITE AS
MANY SUBCONTRACTORS THEY CHOOSE
THE INDIVIDUAL- SOLE PROPRIETORS
OR SAY A HOMEOWNER THAT WANTS
TO- YOU KNOW WRITE CONTRACTS TO
SOLE PROPRIETORS THAT'S FINE
IT'S JUST. FROM A TIER ONE
SERVER HAS SPECIALTY CONTRACTOR
TWO OTHER SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS
THERE'S ONE SOLE PROPRIETOR
ALLOWED AND THE OTHERS WOULD
HAVE TO HAVE EMPLOYEES. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU CENTER NEW LOW
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
CENTER EGGMAN. I THINK YOU AND
MY APOLOGIES FOR BEING LATE AND
MAYBE FORTY ANSWER THIS ASSEMBLY
MEMBER SO WHAT WHAT WHAT PROBLEM
ARE WE TRYING TO SELF WHAT'S THE
PROBLEM THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
SOLVE HERE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT. THE CONTRACTORS
THAT ARE BEING BROUGHT ON TO
PROJECTS ART CLASSIFIED IN A
CERTAIN WAY OR MISCLASSIFIED
THAT PUTS THEM IN A POSITION
WHERE THERE. COULD BE THOSE
EMPLOYEES OR THOSE THE
CONTRACTORS WHO ARE UNION
CONTRACTORS ARE ARE NOT. BEING
SQUEEZED OUT OF. THE
OPPORTUNITIES. AND WE AND THIS
IS HAPPENING. YEAH IT'S A IT IS
I MEAN IT IS SURPRISING THAT IT
HAPPENED AT THE LOWER THE RATE
THAT IT IS BUT IT IS HAPPENING.
LIKE TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE- SO-
MISTER REPRESENTS THERE'S
KNOWLEDGE TRADE COVER CONTRA.
ONE CONTRA WILL BE AWARDED A
PROJECT THEY HAVE NO INTENTION
OF HIRING ANY EMPLOYEES. THEY
MIGHT PURCHASED TEN THOUSAND
YARDS OF CARPET. THEN THEY WOULD
LINE UP A WHOLE SLEW OF SOLE
PROPRIETOR INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS AND IT BE LIKE A
RACE TO THE BOTTOM WHAT WILL YOU
DO THE WORK FOR RIGHT DOWN THE
LINE AND THEN IT GETS CONVERTED
TO. WORK BY THE YARD INSTEAD OF
BY THE HOUR AND SO- THIS WHOLE
GROUP OF PEOPLE AREN'T BEING
PAID- PAYROLL TAXES ON AND
EVERYTHING ELSE SO IT'S KIND OF
A SHELL GAME. INSTEAD OF HIRING
EMPLOYEES THEY LINE UP A BUNCH
OF FULL PROPRIETORS TO AVOID
HAVING TO- HEY WHAT THE STATE.
REQUIRES IF THEY WERE CLASSIFIED
AS EMPLOYEES. OKAY AND THERE'S
ENOUGH OF. THE AND WE HAD AND
THERE'S ENOUGH WORKERS TO DO ALL
OF THE WORK. YEAH IT DOESN'T THE
THIS BILL DOESN'T CHANGE THE
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT HOURS HER
ANYTHING ELSE IT JUST IT JUST IT
LIMITS THE NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT
CONTRACTORS OR SOLE PROPRIETORS
TO ONE. BEING HIRED BY- ANOTHER
C. LICENSED CONTRACTOR AND THEN
THE REST WOULD HAVE TO HAVE
EMPLOYEES. THE KERR OF THE ISSUE
THAT I EXPLAINED OKAY. THANK YOU

CURRENT AND VALID QUALIFIED
MANAGERS CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY
THE DIRECTOR OF CONSUMER
AFFAIRS. ACCORDING TO THE BUREAU
OF SECURITY AND INVESTIGATIVE
SERVICES THERE HAVE BEEN A
NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE THE
BUREAU HAS CITED MULTIPLE
COMPANIES BECAUSE OF THE
BEHAVIOR OF A SINGLE QUALIFIED
MANAGER WHO MOVES FROM COMPANY
TO COMPANY. THOUGH THE
ADMINISTRATION THROUGH THE
ADMINISTRATION PROCESS THE
BUREAU CAN TO DISCIPLINE THEIR
COMPANY BUT NOT THE QUALIFIED
MANAGER INDIVIDUALLY. SO THE
PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
CONDUCT THAT LED TO THE FORMAL
DISCIPLINE OF THE COMPANY. IS
ABLE TO MOVE ON TO ANOTHER
COMPANY WITHOUT A RECORD OF THE
DISCIPLINE. MY OFFICE HAS HAD
CONVERSATIONS WOULD BE S. I. S.

I. TO BE A QUALIFIED MANAGER.
AND SECONDLY TO ENSURE THAT A
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR IS REQUIRED

ONLY IF THEY ARE MENTORING A NON

OTHER SUPPORTERS IN ROOM TWENTY
ONE HUNDRED. SEEING NONE LET'S

PLEASE PROMPT ANY INDIVIDUALS
WAITING TO TESTIFY EITHER IN
SUPPORT OR IN OPPOSITION. TO
ASSEMBLY BILL TWELVE FORTY FOUR
WILL TAKE THEM NOW. IF YOU WOULD
LIKE TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION TO AB TWELVE FORTY
FOUR PLEASE PRESS ONE. ZERO AT
THIS TIME. AND MISTER CHAIR
THERE ARE NO COMMENT AT THIS
TIME THANK YOU BRING THE MATTER
BACK TO THE DAYS OF MY
COLLEAGUES SEARCH A LOT OF
EUROPE OKAY THANK YOU. OF THE
TERM QUALIFIED MANAGER LICENSING
THERE OF- IN THE REASON FOR THAT
IS BECAUSE THE COMPANY'S ALWAYS
SEEM TO GET BLAMED. BUT UNDER
THE LEADERSHIP IS QUALIFIED
MANAGER. OBVIOUSLY ISSUES HAVE
TAKEN PLACE THAT AS YOU SAID
THEY WERE PERHAPS HIS FAULT ANY
MOVES ON TO THE NEXT COMPANY.
WELL I ARE THERE- ARE YOU GOING
TO BE ABLE TO BOND. AND IS
SECURE SOMETHING BECAUSE IF
THERE WAS SOMETHING THERE WAS A
DAMAGE OF SOME SORT
MISREPRESENTATION. OF ANYTHING
WENT WRONG- AND H. THERE'S
DAMAGES IS THIS INDIVIDUAL GOING
TO BE- INSURED BONDED SOME WAY
TO PROTECT. THE CLIENT THAT WAS
HURT IN UP HIS LACK OF DUTY OR
PERFORMANCE- IF I COULD. ASK
ALLEGIANCE AND TO. RESPOND TO
THE SPECIFICS OF THE REASON I
ASK YOU JUST BECAUSE HE'S NOW
LICENSE QUALIFIED. BUT THAT
DOESN'T DO ANYTHING FOR THE- THE
PARTIES THAT WERE HURT BECAUSE
OF HIS NEGLIGENCE. YES US
SENATOR OF YOU KNOW THE PURPOSE
OF THE BILL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THESE PEOPLE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
TO NOT FAIL RIGHT SO. IN IN IN
YOUR INSTANCE I THINK IT'S A
GOOD ONE WE HAVEN'T REALLY
THOUGHT ABOUT IT- FROM SIDE SOME
TYPE OF MONETARY YOU KNOW
COMMITMENT OTHER THAN THE
COMPANY- IS A GOOD ONE WE CAN
HAVE THAT DISCUSSION- WITH THE
AUTHOR AND WITH B. S. I. S. BUT-
GENERALLY WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IS. MAKE SURE THAT THESE
PEOPLE HAVE THE HAVE THE RIGHT
TYPE OF EXPERIENCE KNOW THE
PITFALLS OF RENT MANAGING A
COMPANY WITH SO MANY EMPLOYEES-
SO THAT'S YOU KNOW THE FIRST
STEP WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE THEY
HAVE THE APPROPRIATE EXPERIENCE
WHICH THIS BILL- INTENDS TO DO.
WELL I WOULD THINK AN AMENDMENT
AT THE NEXT STEP NEXT LEVEL IS
AGAIN. PROTECT THOSE WHO THERE'S
WHO'S BEEN SURE. AND IT'S GOTTA
BE SOME FINANCIAL STRENGTH IN
THEIR- EITHER BONDING INSURANCE
SOMETHING. OF OR ELSE. WHAT WHAT
SHOULD FOR. GRANTED HE'S
QUALIFIED. TO LEAD IN AND DIRECT
BUT- IT THERE'S A PROBLEM. AND I
THINK YOU NEED TO LOOK INTO
THAT. RUSSIAN I YES. I CAN'T
SPEAK FOR THE PRIVATE SECURITY
THAT I CERTAINLY CAN SPEAK FOR
THE PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS WHICH
STATES THAT THE- PERSON IT'S
BEEN MEANT TOWARD THE NON
EMPLOYEE MEN BEING MEN TOWARD
AND THE Q. M. FLASH CERTIFICATE
HOLDER. WILL HAVE EQUAL
LIABILITY. I THINK THAT COVERS
THE SITUATION THAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT. PRIVATE SECURITY
MAY HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. IT WILL
LOOK INTO IT MORE WILL HAVE MORE
CONVERSATIONS WITH INDUSTRY SO
WE CAN. FINE TUNE THE POINT
WE'RE GOOD THANK YOU THANK YOU
CENTER CENTER OVER AGO. MMHM
THANK YOU- AM I JUST WANT TO GET
A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT
THE RENEWAL PROCESS THE FEES THE
EXAM- WHO WHO WOULD BE MAKING
THOSE DECISIONS WHETHER
SOMEBODY'S QUALIFIED IS THAT
SIMPLY COMPLETING THE HOURS AN
ALLOTMENT- OR HOW ARE WE
MEASURING THIS. IT WOULD BE AS I
UNDERSTAND IT THE HOURS OF
COMPLETION AND HOW THAT WOULD BE
DETERMINED BY THE AMOUNT OF TIME
THAT THEY'RE SPENDING ON THE
JOB. AND BEING TRAINED UP FOR
THIS QUALIFIKATION. I DON'T
ANSWER THAT WOULD BE A FORMAL
APPRENTICESHIP OR IS IT SIMPLY
COMPLETING. A TIME CARD I
THOUSAND HOURS HOW DO WE KNOW
THAT THEY'RE QUALIFIED YES I
UNDERSTAND A SENATOR I CAN ONLY
SPEAK FOR GIN FOR PRIVATE
INVESTIGATORS. BUT IN CALIFORNIA
YOU HAVE TO SERVE SIX THOUSAND
HOURS WHICH OR A COMBINATION OF
A MAYBE EDUCATION. ABOUT SHIFT
SAY FOR EXAMPLE GETS TWO YEARS
BUT THEY THEN THEY WOULD HAVE
TO. ACTUALLY WORK FOUR THOUSAND
MORE HOURS. OR WITHOUT THAT YOU
HAVE TO WORK SIX THOUSAND HOURS.
AND THAT QUALIFIES IN TO TAKE
THE STATE EXAM THAT THEY HAVE TO
PASS. BEFORE THEY CAN QUALIFY
FOR IT GETTING. A Q. M. AND A
CERTIFICATE. SO WHAT OTHER AB.
WHAT AT THE INDUSTRIES WITH THIS
WITH THIS Q. M. CERTIFICATE
APPLY. TO WELL I THINK IN TERMS
OF KELLY DID YOU WANT TO. THE
BILL SPECIFICALLY JUST DEALS
WITH- SECURITY GUARDS WHO THIS
IS ON TOP OF THEIR OTHER
REQUIREMENTS RIGHT TO BECOME A
SECURITY GUARD- SO. THIS BILL

INVESTIGATORS AND SECURITY

GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING- I WAS
HOPING THAT YOU CAN SPEAK A
LITTLE BIT TO THE OPPOSITION-
PARTICULARLY AROUND THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR EXPERTS IN THEIR
FIELD TO. PROVIDE CONTINUED
EDUCATION EXPERTISE TO STUDENTS
USING THEIR OWN TOOLS OF THEIR
OWN MANUALS OR THEIR OWN
TEXTBOOKS- FOR ME IT SEEMS LIKE
THAT WOULD BE A POSITIVE THING
IS. AND GETTING THAT EDUCATION
FROM THE EXPERT BUT- TALK TO ME
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR- YOUR
VIEW ON THIS OPPOSITION SURE- I
ALSO OF THE FEEL THE HIT THE
SAME ANYBODY. THAT THERE IS A
SENSE OF EXPERTISE OF THIS FOCUS
ON THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST
DISCLOSURE SO SIMPLY JUST
DISCLOSING FOR THE PUBLIC
INTEREST WALLACE ALSO
UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS
GREAT VALIDITY TO THE EXPERTISE
OF AN INDIVIDUAL IN THEIR FIELD
BUT IF THERE'S A FINANCIAL
INTEREST. FOR THE PUBLIC
INTEREST TO SIMPLY BE DISCLOSED
THAT INDIVIDUAL STILL COULD
PARTICIPATE IT WOULD BE UP TO
THE GOVERNING ENTITY ON THE
DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS.
AS YOU KNOW THIS ISSUE CAME
ABOUT DURING THE SUNSET HEARINGS
WITH RESPECT TO ACKNOWLEDGING
THE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF
INTEREST ABOLISHED ALSO STILL
RELYING ON THE EXPERTISE SO
AGAIN DOES NOT PREVENT THE
EXPERTISE OF AN INDIVIDUAL BUT
SIMPLY. ALLOWS FOR THE
DISCLOSURE FOR MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC TO BE AWARE. OF THE OF
THAT RELATIONSHIP THAT THAT IN.
INDIVIDUAL PROVIDER HAS. SO WITH
THE DISCLOSURE BUT WITH A
DISCLOSURE LOOK LIKE SO WHEN
SOMEBODY IS SIGNING UP FOR A
CLASS FOR EXAMPLE THERE WOULD BE
A DISCLAIMER SOMETHING SAYING.
THAT THAT THE EXPERTISE SUPERSET
PRESENTER WOULD BE RECEIVING.
INCOME DUE TO USE OF A- SURE
THAT'S THE LAY DIVE INTO. BY
THIS M. AS AS YOU KNOW THE-
PROVIDES THE- AND- COMES UP THE
MECHANISM ON THE- KOMMENTAR WITH
THEIR CURRENT EXISTING.
DISCLOSURES THAT THEY WOULD BE A
FORCE AND- COMPELLED TO ALSO
DISCLOSED AS WELL OKAY AND WHERE
WERE YOU SEE IN THIS BE A
PROBLEM. WHERE THAT PATTERN YES
DAVID BROUGHT THIS UP TO MEET
WITH RESPECT TO THE- THE SENATE
HEARINGS THAT. WE'VE HAD- AND SO
UNDER THE DEPARTMENT CONSUMER
AFFAIRS THIS IS BEEN AN ISSUE
THEN PERHAPS JUST SIMPLY FOR
THIS CLOSURE. FOR HELPING TO
ENSURE THAT WE HAVE ADDITIONAL
SENSE OF TRUST. WITH RESPECT TO
THE CONTINUING EDUCATION AND
ALSO ARE A PROVIDERS IN OUR
LICENSEES HEY ONE INDUSTRY OVER
ANOTHER OR JUST KIND OF BROAD. I
HAVE NO SPECIFICALLY HEARD-
MYSELF BUT- I KNOW THAT IT'S
SOMETHING THAT I KNOW WITHIN THE
PART OF CONSUMERS WE GENERALLY
LIKE TO LOOK AT CONFLICTS OF
INTEREST IN PREVENTING THEM AS
WELL OKAY I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK
TO TARGET ONE PARTICULAR. ONE IS
A BAD ACTORS OUT THERE JUST YES
YEAH THANK YOU THANK YOU SO
MUCH- THANK YOU CENTER. THING
OTHER NO OTHER HANDS ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.

TREATMENT IS INTRAVENOUS
METHYLENE BLUE. SO YOU MIGHT TRY
IS A CHEMICAL COMPOUND WITH NO
HOUSEHOLD USE IN HIGH PURITY
AMOUNTS BUT HAS GROWN IN
POPULARITY RECENTLY
UNFORTUNATELY AS A SUICIDE
METHOD. WHEN INGESTED THIS

MY CONCERN OBVIOUSLY ANYTIME A
CHILD TEENAGER ANYONE GETS A
HOLD OF A SUBSTANCE THAT. CAN
TAKE THEIR LIVES LIKE THAT ARE
THE ARE THESE TEENAGERS KIDS ARE
THEY USING IT IN ANOTHER WAY- TO
GET HIGH ON IS- IT. DID TELL ME
ABOUT THAT WHAT HOW I CAN
UNDERSTAND ABOUT THE SUICIDE.
BUT WHAT WHAT ELSE CAN THEY BE
USED IN IT FOR THE THERE AT THAT
THIS PURITY LEVEL THERE IS NO.
OTHER USE THERE'S NO HOUSEHOLD
USES REALLY FOR INDUSTRIAL
COMMERCIAL USE AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT THE ISSUE IS THAT- ONLINE
AND OTHER PLATFORMS OF.
UNFORTUNATELY OFTENTIMES THERE
BECOMES PATTERNS OF SUICIDE AND
I THINK THEY'RE SHARING WITH
ANOTHER THIS IS A POTENTIAL
METHOD- AND THERE REALLY IS NO
OTHER APPLICATION FOR ITS USERS
INCLUDING IN GETTING HIGH IS IT
IS REALLY JUST BEING USED. AS A
METHOD OF SUICIDE UNFORTUNATELY.

I'M PLEASE TO PRESENT A. B.
ELEVEN OH NINE TODAY. WHICH WE
WILL BE LOOKING TO OFFICIALLY
NAME TYLER'S LAW AND I
APPRECIATE ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA
FOR HIS WORK IN SPACE AS WELL AS
BEING A JOINT AUTHOR OF THIS
BILL. AB ELEVEN OH NINE WILL
RESTRICT THE ONLINE SALE OF THE
CHEMICAL KNOWN AS SODIUM NITRITE
TO MINORS IN CAPS OBSCURITY OF
WHICH THE PRODUCT IS ALLOWED TO
BE SOLD AT 10% JUST FIVE YEARS
AGO SODIUM NITRATE WAS A
RELATIVELY UNKNOWN SUBSTANCE AN
INORGANIC COMPOUND USUALLY USED
FOR CURING MEATS. UNFORTUNATELY
SODIUM NITRITE HAS RECENTLY BEEN
CAPTURING NATIONWIDE HEADLINES
AS IS BECOME AN ITEM FREQUENTLY
USE BY TEENAGERS TO TAKE THEIR
OWN LIVES. TYLER MOMENT A BRIGHT
SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD FROM SAN JOSE
WAS ONE OF THESE TEENAGERS. IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE TYLER WAS
PREPARING TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH
SCHOOL. HE EXCELLED IN ACADEMICS
LOVE PLAN THE DRUMS IN HIS
SCHOOLS HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING
BAND. AND ALSO COMPETED IN A
ROLLER HOCKEY REYES. LIKE MANY
YOUNG PEOPLE TYLER ALSO WENT
THROUGH CHALLENGING TIMES THAT
AFFECTED HIS MENTAL HEALTH.
DIRECTED A SODIUM NITRITE BY
ONLINE FORUMS TYLER WAS ABLE TO
EASILY AND CHEAPLY PURCHASE A
HIGHLY PURE FORM AT THE CHEMICAL
FROM AN ONLINE MARKET PLACE. HIS
PARENTS WERE WITH ME HERE TODAY
SHARE A SIMILAR STORY WITH
HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES THROUGHOUT
THE COUNTRY YOU HAVE FOUND THEIR
CHILDREN AFTER PURCHASING IN
INGESTING FATAL AMOUNTS OF
SODIUM NITRITE THAT THEY BOUGHT.
FROM ONLINE RETAILERS. THE
REASON THAT SODIUM NITRITE
STANDS OUT AS A PARTICULARLY
DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE IS BECAUSE
THERE IS NO REAL WORLD
APPLICATION FOR IT IN
CONCENTRATIONS OF PURITY ABOUT
10% AT LOW LEVELS OF PURITY 10%
BELOW SODIUM NITRITE IS COMMONLY
USED AS A FOOD PRESERVATIVE.
HOWEVER CONCERNED CONSUMING THE
COMPOUND AND HIGH LEVELS OF
PURITY CAN CAUSE FATAL POISONING
. AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA NOTED
POISON CONTROL CENTERS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY HAVE
REPORTED IT TWO HUNDRED AND 53%
INCREASE IN SELF POISONING WITH
NITRITES AND A HUNDRED AND SIXTY
CENT PERCENT 166% INCREASE IN
FATALITIES IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
IN COMPARISON TO TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. EGGMAN WARNING THIS
DANGER MAJOR ONLINE RETAILERS
HAVE BEEN SELLING SODIUM NITRITE
IN THEIR PLATFORMS AT LEVELS OF
PURITY UP TO NINETY NINE
PERCENT. WHICH CAN MAKE IT AS
DEADLY AS CYANIDE IF INGESTED.
BECAUSE A CHEMICAL CAN BE EASILY
PURCHASE AND HIGHLY PURE FORMS
AND DELIVERED DIRECTLY- Q. AND
INDIVIDUALS RESIDENTS IT IS
BECOME A TRAGICALLY FREQUENT
METHOD OF COMMITTING SUICIDE. AB
ELEVEN OH NINE TACKLES THIS
ISSUE BY PROHIBITING ONLINE
RETAILERS FROM SELLING SODIUM
NITRITE TO MINORS AND
RESTRICTING ITS SALE IN
CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 10%
YOUR PERSON OVER EIGHTEEN YEARS
OF AGE. THE BILL ALSO SPECIFIES
A RETAILERS AND ONLINE
MARKETPLACES MUST IMPLEMENT AN
EFFECTIVE AGE VERIFICATION
SYSTEM AND INCLUDES AN EXEMPTION
FOR LEGITIMATE BUSINESS AND IT
IS. WITH ME TO TESTIFIED TODAY
AND SUPPORT OUR JOB MOMENT AND
CINDY CRUZ TYLER'S PARENTS AND
CAREY GOLDBERG AND NATIONALLY
RECOGNIZED VICTIM RIGHTS
TURNING. AND WITH THAT I'D LIKE
TO US- JEFF AND CINDY- IF THEY
WOULD SPEAK AT THIS TIME THANK
YOU FOR JOINING US PLEASE
PROCEED. HELLO MY NAME IS CINDY
. AND I'M HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF GETTING THIS BILL
PASSED. THE NITRATE WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO GET INTO THE HANDS OF
MINORS. ON MAY TWENTY FIFTH
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. MY SEVENTEEN
YEAR OLD SON TYLER. THANKS. SOME
NITRIC FROM M. AS A PARENT I
NEVER WOULD HAVE. THAT SUCH A
HARMFUL PO TO SO EASILY BE PERCH
ONLINE. ESPECIALLY FROM AMHERST
IT IS FROM ONE OF US PER MY OF
OUR EVERYDAY. I DON'T. WITHOUT
MY KNOWLEDGE MY SON CREATED HIS
OWN ACCOUNT AT AMAZON AND
PURCHASED SODIUM NITRITE. HOW
CAN A POTENTIALLY LETHAL
SUBSTANCE BE SOLD TO ANYONE MUCH
LESS MINERS. LIVING THAT THIS
CHEMICAL HAS. I THOUGHT TO MY
SON IN ITS COMMERCIAL GRADE 99%
WAS NEVER QUESTIONED BY AMAZON.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO COMPREHEND HOW
SODIUM NITRATE IS SO EASILY
ACCESSIBLE TO MINORS MORE
ACCESSIBLE THAN CIGARETTES AND
ALCOHOL.
NEED. TO IN THIS. I THINK.
BIGELOW. THE BEAUTY WORK ON.
SMART WE COULDN'T. AND THIS HIS
. I DO ABOUT THE WAR. HIS MUSIC
DRUMS PIANO. IT KILLS THAT I
WOULD BE ABLE GET HERE. BE ABLE
TO HEAR ANY MORE OF MUSIC. I
WILL MISS MY HEARING HIS VOICE
JUST RECENTLY LOWERED. SURE. THE
EVERYDAY THING. OUR LITTLE. I
WAS.
I WILL MISS ME ABLE TO SEE ALL
HE WENT WAS HE WAS SO TELL AND
GIVE. I AM BEYONCE THAT I NOT BE
ABLE TO SEE WHAT HE BE. THERE
ARE WORDS JUST THE FEELING. FOR
IF YOU ARE PARENT LOOKING TO
LOSING PART OF YOURS A PART OF

TO AFTER EATING OUT. HI LISTED
BEHIND BECAUSE SEVENTY YEAR OLD
ARE NOT ALWAYS THRILLED I KNOW
WHAT THEIR PARENTS WE BROUGHT IN
SIMILAR AND WHAT THE ROOM TELL
THEM. BUT IS DOOR WAS LOCKED.

MAY HE WAS A WITH HER ON BECAUSE
THAT IT HAVE IN THE PAST. THE
STILL WORRIED I GOT A AND OPEN
DOOR IT WAS TO OPEN BECAUSE HE
WAS LYING JUST FINE IT. AND I
YELLED. THIS ABOUT NINE ONE ONE.
AND I DID SEE. UNTIL THE
PARAMEDICS. AND LATER WE LEARN
YOU KNOW HE HAD NOT AND JUST
WHAT WOULD NORMALLY BE A LEAF
AMOUNT- BUT IT WAS A- AND MAY.
IF YOU NOT FOR SUCH AVAILABLE BY
AMAZON. THE NEW AT THE TIME THAT
PEOPLE WERE PERCHING SODIUM. FOR
SUICIDE. AND NEVER WHAT HAPPENED
. NO I KNOW ALWAYS THINK THEIR
KIDS ARE SPECIAL. BUT WAS REALLY
SOMETHING. HE WAS A- AS A
PRODIGY IN THROUGH GRADE. AND
THEY SAID A PRICE SENSITIVE TO
TAKE SPECIAL. HE PLAYED THE
DRUMS AND- I PASSED HE BAND WAS
PREPARING FOR THE BEFORE. I ROCK
BAND- HE WAS A REALLY SKILLED AT
HE ON THE BEST PROBLEMS SEEN IN
NORTHERN. AN IRAQI. BUT HE ALSO

SCHOOL TEAM AS WELL- BUT HE
LOVES TO PLAY HE JUST LOVED TO
PLAY LET'S PLAY GOALIE TO AND-
HE'D GO DOWN TO THE RING. JUST
BE THERE ALL WEEKEND PLAYING
GAME AFTER GAME AFTER GAME FOR
ANY TEAM THAT NEEDED A GOALIE.
YOU KNOW HE WAS A VERY
INTROVERTED KID. AND HONESTLY I
HAD NO IDEA HOW MANY FRIENDS YOU
HAVE UNTIL ITS MEMORIAL. OF SO
MANY KIDS SHOWED UP. IN SPOKE.
AND THE SCHOOL CENTERS THE
ENTIRE BOX OF LETTERS FROM KIDS
. MY FAVORITE MEMORIES OF TYLER
WAS. WE'RE PLAYING HIGH SCHOOL
GAME. AND WE'RE LOSING. AND WE
LOST A LOT OF THAT TIME BECAUSE
OUR TEAM WAS REALLY YOUNG AND WE
ARE PLAYING AGAINST. SENIORS AND
JUNIORS. AND THE WHOLE THING WAS
MAD AND TYLER WAS ON THE BENCH.
THEY LOOK AT EVERYBODY IN AND
SAID YOU KNOW LET'S JUST GO
SCORE A BUNCH OF GOALS AND HAVE
FUN. BECAUSE I MEAN HE REALLY
LIKE TO WIN. BUT HE JUST LOVES
TO PLAY MORE THAN ANYTHING. IS
THE YOUNGEST OF FOUR BOYS. AND
IS MISSED GREATLY BY HIS
BROTHERS. AND ALL THE. THANK YOU
BOTH. WE'RE SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
.
YES MA'AM. GOOD MORNING MY
NAME'S KERRY GOLDBERG- I'M A
LAWYER IT'S MY HONOR AND
PRIVILEGE TO BE THE LAWYER FOR
TYLER MOMENTS FAMILY. WHO IS THE
NAMESAKE OF THIS BILL. AS WELL
AS THE LAWYER FOR CHRISTIAN
SCHMIDT AND MEREDITH MITCHELL
WHO SONS ALSO PASSED AWAY FROM
SODIUM NITRITE THAT THEY
PURCHASED ONLINE. IN EARLY
TWENTY TWENTY ONE I WAS RETAINED
BY HEARTBROKEN MOM WHOSE SON HAD
PURCHASED A SODIUM NITRITE OFF
OF AMAZON. HAD A PRIME DELIVERED
AND DIED A COUPLE DAYS LATER
THAT WAS DECEMBER TWENTY TWENTY.
IN APRIL TWENTY TWENTY ONE I
SENT AMAZON'S GENERAL COUNSEL
LETTER. TELLING THEM. THAT THERE
WAS A PROBLEM THAT THESE SUICIDE
MESSAGE BOARDS THAT CHILDREN
DURING THE PANDEMIC WE'RE
DISCOVERING FOR GLORIFYING
SUICIDE AND SPECIFICALLY LEADING
PEOPLE TO AMAZON'S WEBSITE TO
PURCHASE SODIUM NITRITE. I ASKED
THEM TO PLEASE REMOVE THE
PRODUCT. TO MY HORROR. THEY
HIRED OUTSIDE COUNSEL WHO TOLD
ME THAT THERE IS NO DUTY FOR
THEM TO STOP SELLING A PRODUCT
THAT IS NOT ILLEGAL. I SAID IT
IS ACTUALLY ILLEGAL TO AID AND
ASSIST IN SUICIDE AND YOU CAN GO
TO THE PRODUCT PAGE AND YOU CAN
SEE. ALL OF THE COMMENTS FROM
PARENTS. I THINK THIS PRODUCT IS
KILLED MY CHILD AND YOU CAN SEE
. ON THE PRODUCT PAGE THAT THAT
OTHER PRODUCTS ARE RECOMMENDED
TO BE USED WITH IT LIKE TAGAMET
TO PREVENT VOMITING. AND THIS
BOOK THE PEACEFUL PILL HANDBOOK
AMAZON ADDITION WHICH HAS AN
ENTIRE CHAPTER ABOUT HOW TO DIE
BY SUICIDE. WE FOUND THE ONLINE
RETAILER'S DON'T CARE. ADDS THAT
THEY CONSIDER THIS TO BE NO
DIFFERENT THAN ROPE KNIVES ARE
DRANO- BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS
THAT SODIUM NITRITE HAS NO
HOUSEHOLDS USE. AND LESS THAN
TWO WEEKS AFTER AMAZON'S COUNCIL
TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD NO DUTY TO
STOP SELLING IT. A SEVENTEEN
YEAR OLD FROM SAN JOSE
CALIFORNIA CREATED AN AMAZON
ACCOUNT AMAZON SOLD HIM SODIUM
NITRITE. ANTAGONIZE. THAT THE
ALGORITHM HAD RECOMMENDED. HE
MAKES TO. ONE TEASPOON WITH
WATER. DRINK A LITTLE BIT OF IT
. WHEN HIS PARENTS CAME BACK
FROM ORDERING CHINESE FOOD AS
YOU HEARD FROM CINDY AND JEFF-
HE WAS GONE. WE ESTIMATE THAT-
AN ONLINE RETAILERS REVENUE FROM
ONE UNIT WHICH THEY SELL FOR
ABOUT TWENTY DOLLARS IS THERE
ARE TWO DOLLARS AND THIRTY NINE
CENTS. AND OTHER PROFIT IS
PENNIES AND YET THEY- THEY
REFUSED TO STOP SELLING IT- WE
NOW HAVE LAWSUITS IN COURT FILE
FOR SIX FAMILIES. WHOSE CHILDREN
ARE PURCHASED THIRTY AND I TRIED
FOR FROM AMAZON AND WE HAVE-
ALMOST TWO DOZEN MORE LAWSUITS
TO FILE. INCLUDING ON BEHALF.
WHAT WE'VE HEARD FROM SIXTY
FAMILIES- THE MY LAW FIRM HAS
HEARD FROM SIXTY FAMILIES ALL
OVER THE COUNTRY- WHOSE CHILDREN
SPOUSES SIBLINGS PURCHASED AND
DIED FROM INGESTING SODIUM
NITRITE. AND IN MOST CASES THE
PERSON REGRETTED IT. THEY
IMMEDIATELY RAN AND TOLD THEIR
PARENTS. OR THEY TRY TO MAKE
THEMSELVES VOMIT. OR IF THEY
CALL NINE ONE ONE THEMSELVES-
BUT THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY LETHAL
. INCREDIBLY FAST MOVING PRODUCT
AND LIKE ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA
SAID THERE IS AN ANTIDOTE BUT
THE LABELING DOESN'T SAY
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. THE LABELS
- IN IRRITANT. I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING ABOUT HELLO HELLO
ACTUALLY WILL DIE IF YOU INGEST
IT THEY SAY IF YOU AND JUSTICE
CALL NINE ONE ONE THERE'S NO
THERE'S NO CHANCE THERE'S NO
CHANCE ANYBODY CAN BE SAVED. BY
THE TIME IT TAKES UP AN
AMBULANCE TO COME. BUT EXPERTS
SAY THAT IN. THE NUMBER ONE WAY
TO PREVENT SUICIDE IS WITH ME
INTRODUCTION AND THAT'S WHAT
THIS BILL DOES. AND I'M I'M
GRATEFUL FOR IT THIS IS THIS IS
GOING TO BE THE LEADING BILL IN
THIS COUNTRY I THINK IT'S THE
FIRST CRIMINAL BILL. AND IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE IN
DETERRING SALES TO CHILDREN AND
TO ADULTS ALIKE THERE'S- A VERY
BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SODIUM
NITRITE THAT'S USED AS A FOOD
PRESERVATIVE AT. SIX OR 10%
CONCENTRATE VERSUS WHAT OUR
CLIENTS HAVE PURCHASED WHICH IS
99% PURE NO HOUSEHOLD USE. SO I
DEEPLY APPRECIATE THE LEADERSHIP
BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER CONNELLY AND
ASSEMBLY MEMBER KALRA. AND THE
INCREDIBLE BRAVERY OF MY CLIENTS
A TICKET TO COME HERE TODAY AND
I THINK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR TIME
AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US. ARE THERE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT TO THE
MEASURE HERE IN ROOM TWENTY ONE
HUNDRED. A STEP FORWARD- AT THIS
POINT WELL. MILLEDGE IS START.

COMMUNITY AND HAVE A CYCLICAL
AFFECT. AIDEN'S FRIENDS WE'RE
NOW AT A FUNERAL OF THEIR FRIEND
THEY WERE LEFT WITH LESS
EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THAN THEY HAD
PRIOR THEY WERE LEFT THINKING
ABOUT SUICIDE MEMORIAL WAY THAN
THEY MIGHT HAVE BEFORE- SUICIDE

THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO
COMMIT SUICIDE BUT IT IS
INCREASINGLY COMMON IT IS
INCREASINGLY POPULAR IT IS
INCREDIBLY ACCESSIBLE ONLINE-
AND IT'S RISING BOTH ACCIDENTAL
A RECENT STUDY PUBLISHED. IN THE
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH ON
SODIUM NITRITE INTOXICATION
DEATHS LOOKED AT IT AND
ESTIMATES OVER SEVEN HUNDRED
THOUSAND DEATHS ANNUALLY. FROM
SODIUM NITRATE POISONING EITHER
INTENTIONAL OR ACCIDENTAL AND
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE ARE
CHILDREN- THEN HIGHEST RATES
BEING SUICIDES AMONG TEENS AND

COMMENTS. LOOKING TO MY LEFT.
SEEING NO HANDS LOOKING TO MY
RIGHT I SEE. I SEE THREE-
SENATOR S. B. SENATOR EGGMAN AND
SENATOR OVER I DON'T KILL SO
LET'S SERVICE INTERNATIONALLY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FIRST OF
ALL THE PREPARATORY I'M HAPPY
MOVE THE BILL. SECOND I MAKE MY
COMMENTS REALLY BRIEF. YOU'RE
RIGHT IT'S NOT THE ONLY WAY TO
COMMIT SUICIDE. BUT IT IS ONE
THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT.
I WANT TO THANK THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FOR BRINGING
THE BILL FORWARD. AND I REALLY
WANT TO THANK THE FAMILIES. I
HAVE KIDS THE SAME AGE AS YOUR
KIDS. AND I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW
HARD IT WOULD BE TO STAND ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THAT PLEXI GLASS
HOLDING THEIR PICTURE. ASKING A
BUNCH OF PEOPLE UP HERE TO CARE
. ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND I WANT
YOU TO KNOW THAT WE DEAL IN THAT
YOUR BRAVERY MAKES A REAL
DIFFERENCE. AND I THANK YOU FOR
GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACT
ON THIS TODAY BY BEING HERE ON
BEHALF YOUR KIDS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER CEREMONY. THANK
YOU THANK YOU. FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD IT SOUNDS LIKE BOTH OF
YOU HAVE A LITTLE BIT TO DO TO
BE ABLE TO CO JOIN THIS THESE
BILLS AND SOME KIND OF WAY.
BECAUSE I THINK THE WHATEVER
PIECE OF POLICY THIS ISN'T AS
MUCH THE ISSUE AS THE TOPIC IN
AND THE MISSION SO AND I ALSO
JUST WANNA THANK YOU FOR HAVING
THE COURAGE. COURAGE TO SPEAK IN
YOUR LOVED ONE'S MEMORY AND TO
ACTUALLY TAKE ACTION AND DO
SOMETHING BECAUSE I KNOW THAT
DOES BRING. SOME LEVEL OF PEACE
. THANK YOU SENATORS SENATOR OF
OUR OWN GO. I WANT TO THANK THE
FAMILIES FOR COMING IN TODAY AND
SHARING YOUR STORY AND
INTRODUCING US TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL
CHILDREN. ANYTIME WE HAVE A BILL
THAT WE HAVE TO NAME AFTER A
CHILD. I TEND TO ASK MYSELF AS A
MOTHER. WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE
DIFFERENTLY LIKE HOW COULD WE
HAVE PREVENTED THIS. AND OFTEN
TIMES WE LOOK AT OURSELVES AND
SAY YOU KNOW DID I DO SOMETHING
WRONG. AND I JUST WANT TO
REITERATE THAT THERE'S NOTHING
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT THE
PARENTS IN THIS ROOM DID. IN
THIS SITUATION THIS IS
COMPLETELY PUT ON A SYSTEM. THE
FAILED YOU INFIELDER CHILDREN.
AND THIS LAW THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER- CONNELLY AND- MEMBER.
KALRA FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD
BECAUSE WITHOUT A LEGISLATIVE
ACT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO
ENCOURAGE A BUSINESS AS BIG AS-
ONLINE RETAILERS TO- D. WAS
RIGHT. AND SO- IT SADDENS ME
THAT IT TAKES A LEGISLATIVE ACT
TO SAVE MORE LIVES BECAUSE WE
SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS. TO SAVE
THE LIVES OF ALL YOUR CHILDREN-
SO I JUST WANT TO HONOR. THE
MEMORIES OF YOUR CHILDREN AND
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY-
AND I BELIEVE THAT- THOSE IN
FRONT OF YOU WE WILL DO WHAT'S
RIGHT TO PROTECT. THE TICKETS.
THANK YOU CENTER CENTERS MODE
WITH THIS. LIKE MY COLLEAGUES I
WANTED TO SEE TO THE PARENTS
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR
STORIES IN EDUCATING US. ON THIS
ISSUE AND THE AUTHORS FOR ALL OF
YOUR WORK- IT JUST ALSO REVEALS
WHAT THE PANDEMIC HAS DONE TO
THE YOUNG PEOPLE AND OUR AND OUR
CHILDREN OR TEENS IN PARTICULAR
AND- HOW IMPORTANT MENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORT AND SERVICES ARE. NEED
TO BE ACCESSIBLE AND NOT DEADLY.
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS THAT WILL
TAKE THEIR LIVES SO I JUST WANT
TO SAY TO THE PARENTS THANK YOU
FOR THAT EDUCATION AND FOR YOUR
ADVOCACY. AND I HOPE IS THIS
MOVES FORWARD IT BRINGS- A
LITTLE BIT OF PEACE TO KNOW THAT
WE'RE WILL BE PROTECTING OTHER
CHILDREN- FROM. THIS VERY VERY
DANGEROUS- A RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE CHEMICAL COMPOUND IN
THE COMPANIES THAT ARE SELLING
THEM WITHOUT. RESTRICTION SO I'M
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS BILL IN
THE MOMENTS RIGHT. CAN I SAY ONE
OF THE THINGS AROUND. IT IS
ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING TO ME
THAT YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL REACHED
OUT ON BEHALF OF ANOTHER CHILD
AN ENTIRE MONTH BEFORE YOUR SON
MADE THE SAME ORDER. FROM AN
ORGANIZATION THAT SHOULD HAVE
TAKEN NOTICE FROM YOUR ATTORNEY
I'LL SPEND THE REST OF THIS WEEK
PRAYING THAT YOUR LEGAL COUNSEL
FIND AS MUCH SUCCESS AS I
BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO FIND. IN
THE CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE
. THANK YOU CENTER ARCHULETA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH OF COURSE
CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES. AS
A FATHER OF FIVE I JUST COULDN'T
IMAGINE LOSING ANYONE OF MY
CHILDREN OR ANY OF ANY PARENT
LOSING A CHILD. BUT I THANK BOTH
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD AND I HOPE THEY
CARRY IT- ACROSS THIS NATION.
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WE
ALWAYS SAY CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
WELL LET ME FIRST AND SAVING
LIVES THAT'S THE FIRST AND
RINGING THAT BELL OF TRAGEDY
THAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR YOUNG-
AND JOE MENTAL HEALTH IS MY
COLLEAGUE. I KNOW THAT MENTAL
HEALTH IS SUCH AN ISSUE HERE AND
THE THING IS SOMETIMES PARENTS
DON'T EVEN KNOW. THAT THERE'S
ISSUES SO WHEN YOUR KIDS ARE
PLAYING BALL AND HOCKEY AND
TENNIS AND- YOU KNOW INVOLVED
WITH THE SCHOOLS AND EVERYTHING
ELSE AND YOU THINK EVERYTHING
SOUL. SO PERFECT AND YET THERE'S
SOMETHING BLEEDING INSIDE THAT
WE'LL NEVER KNOW. SO I THINK
WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO OF MORE
CHARACTERS IN THE SCHOOLS MORE
INVOLVEMENT WITH THE MENTAL
HEALTH EXPERTS WITH OUR
TEENAGERS. BUT THIS IS A BIG
STEP FORWARD AND I KNOW EVERYONE
ON THIS DIRE THIS IS GOING TO
CONTINUE FIGHTING WITH YOU AND
FOR YOU. AND I JUST THANK YOU
FOR BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND I
THINK NOW THAT WE CAN SEE. THAT
YOU YOU COULDN'T YOU COULD CRY
FOREVER OR YOU CAN FIGHT FOREVER
AND I THINK THIS IS WHAT PARENTS
ARE DOING YOU'RE GONNA FIGHT
FOREVER THIS SEE THAT. NOT
ANOTHER SINGLE CHILD IS LOST AS
YOURS WERE AND I THANK YOU GOD
BLESS YOU AND- GOD SPEED TO ALL
OF YOU THANK YOU. A SEVEN WIN
THANK YOU CHAIR I JUST WANNA

THE FUTURE. YOURSELF YOU'RE

TO ADDRESS IT. DID YOU CONSIDER
TRYING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT

MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE WEBSITES
OFFERING ADVICE AS TO HOW TO
KILL ONESELF. WE HAVE NOT
TACKLED THAT ISSUE YEAH THAT'S A
BROAD- ISSUE THAT I KNOW A
NUMBER OF OUR COLLEAGUES ARE ARE
LOOKING AT. THE DETRIMENTAL
IMPACTS OF WHAT IS AVAILABLE
ONLINE. VERTICALLY TIME PERIODS
ALLIED- THE PANDEMIC IN THE
AFTERMATH SO I THINK THAT'S
CERTAINLY WORTHY OF. SOMETHING-
LIKE- THERE PROBABLY WOULD BE-
POTENTIAL FREE SPEECH. OF
IMPLICATIONS BUT- I WOULD THINK
THAT MIGHT RISE TO THE LEVEL OF
. CRYING FIRE IN A CROWDED MOVIE
THEATER- IT'S A- HIGHLY
TROUBLING THIS WHOLE. ISSUE IS
HIGHLY TROUBLING I SHARE A- THE
RESTORATION REMARK FRUSTRATED

THEY'RE MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR
MEDICAL STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS
TO COMPLETE THEIR RESIDENCY AND
BE FULLY. TRAINED FULLY AND
ADEQUATELY TRAINED A GREAT
EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE STATE OF
TEXAS THE BIGGEST STATE WHO
BANNED ABORTION BUT YET. BUT YET
THEY ARE THE LARGEST OBGYN
RESIDENCY PROGRAM THAT MEANS.
THAT ALL OF THOSE. MEDICAL
STUDENTS THAT ARE COMPLETING THE
RESIDENCY THERE ARE NOT BEING
FULLY TRAINED WE'RE VERY
FORTUNATE HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
THAT WE ALLOW SUCH TYPES OF
ROTATION. AND WHAT THIS BILL

BRIEF PEACOCK AND I'M AN
OVERVIEW RATHER FOR THIS EASIER
. I'M HERE TODAY IN SUPPORT OF
ASSEMBLY BILL SIXTEEN FORTY SIX
WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR MEDICAL
RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE AND
GUESTS ROTATIONS IN CALIFORNIA.
I RAIN FROM THE STATE OF GEORGIA
AND WE'RE FIVE GENERATIONS OF MY
FAMILY HAVE GROWN SURVIVED AND
THRIVED. IN GEORGIA I OBTAIN MY
DOCTORATE MATTER MEDICINE DEGREE
AND PLAN TO RETURN TO PRACTICE
AS AN OBGYN AFTER RESIDENCY. 75%
OF OUR COUNTIES DO NOT HAVE AN
OBGYN. AND WE FACED LABOR AND
DELIVERY DEPARTMENTS BEING
CLOSED DOWN BY THE DOZENS. I
SPECIFICALLY CAME TO CALIFORNIA
FROM MY OBGYN RESIDENCY TRAINING
BECAUSE I KNEW I WOULD GET
EXCELLENT ABORTION TRAINING.
WITH MY FAMILY BEING FROM A
REGION THAT IS LIMITED AND
HEALTHCARE I'VE WITNESSED THE
PATIENTS SPECIFICALLY BLACK
WOMEN WALK IN THE HOSPITAL WITH
HOPE ENJOYS OF EXPANDING THEIR
FAMILIES. OR THE DESPAIR OF
MISCARRIAGE AND SEEKING CARE AND
NOT WALK OUT. THE LACK OF THIS
TRAINING IS LIFE ALTERING THE
PROCEDURE OFTEN USED FOR
ABORTION IS PERFORMED ALMOST
DAILY IN OUR EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENT AND LABOR AND
DELIVERY UNITS. AS A TOOL TO
STOP PATIENTS FROM EMERGING FOR
MISCARRIAGES FOR POSTPARTUM
HEMORRHAGE XTERRA. WHEN THE TOOL
IS NOT PART OF OUR TRAINING
THOUSAND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE'S
LIVES. ARE AT RISK. ABORTION
BANS ARE IMPACTING ALMOST HALF
OF OBGYN WHAT WOULD YOU AYE IN
RESIDENTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
MEANING THAT HALF OF ALL OBGYN
RESIDENTS ARE UNABLE TO BE FULLY
TRAINED TRAINED. AND CASES
RELEVANT TO THEIR SPECIALTY IN
THEIR STATE. AS I DEVOTE MY
EXPERTISE HERE IN CALIFORNIA
WITH THE PLAN TO RETURN TO
PROVIDE FULL SPECTRUM AND
REPRODUCTIVE CARE TO THE PEOPLE
OF GEORGIA. I CAN'T HELP BUT
STRONGLY EXPRESSED THE NEED FOR
ABORTION TRAINING AND ALL STATE.
UNTIL THAT CAN'T BE GUARANTEED

PRIVILEGING IN THE HOSPITAL
SETTING. UNFORTUNATELY TODAY
ABORTION PROVIDERS AND THOSE WHO
SEEK ABORTION ARE UNDER ATTACK.
AS WELL AS ALSO PROVIDED SEEK
OTHER SERVICES SUCH AS GENDER

THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN

THE PROVIDERS OFFERING THIS CARE
CAN CONTINUE OFFERING IT WITHOUT
FEAR WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN

SINCE THE DOBBS DECISION ALMOST
A YEAR AGO THIS WEEK PEOPLE
STILL ASK ME. DO YOU EVER WORRY
ABOUT YOUR LICENSE FOR GOING TO
JAIL WHEN YOU PROVIDE ABORTION
CARE TO SOMEONE COMING FROM A
STATE WHERE ABORTION IS BANNED.
THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO I DON'T
AND I SHOULDN'T. HAVE GONE
THROUGH YEARS OF TRAINING TO
PROVIDE EVIDENCE BASED MEDICAL
CARE TO ANYONE WHO COMES TO THE
CLINIC OR HOSPITAL I WORK. I
REGARDLESS OF AND REGARDLESS OF
WHICH STATE THEY LIVE IN. BUT
THE TO STAND AS THE LONG ANSWER

HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THOSE
FLEEING THEIR STATE FOR THIS
CARE BUT FOR CALIFORNIANS AS
WELL. AT TEN PARENTHOOD RATHER
CALIFORNIA WE SERVE TWENTY
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA CUT COUNTIES
WITH SEVENTEEN HEALTH CENTERS

PRIVILEGES AT TEACHING HOSPITALS
TRAINING FUTURE PRISON

RECOGNIZED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH ESTABLISHING A WORK
GROUP. THAT WAS TASKED TO
UNDERSTAND THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM
AND PROPOSE SOLUTIONS. AMONG THE
SUBCOMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS
WAS TO UPDATE CALIFORNIA
LICENSING WE WOULD HOPE
REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW UNLICENSED
PERSONNEL THAT MEET FEDERAL
STANDARDS TO ASSIST LICENSE
PERSONNEL IN LABORATORIES. THIS
WILL ALLOW LABORATORIES TO MEET
HIGH TESTING DEMANDS WHILE
MAINTAINING ACCESS TO ACCURATE
CARE WHICH ALSO OPENS ACCESS TO
PATIENTS AND DELIVER YOUR FOR
THEIR TREATMENTS. THESE CHANGES
