YOU MADAM CHAIR GOVERNING.
EVERYONE TODAY I'M PRESENTING AB
EIGHTY NINE ON BEHALF OF SIMPLY
. MEMBER KATE SANCHEZ AB EIGHTY
NINE IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE
MEASURE THAT WILL REQUIRE A
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO
NOTIFY CRIME VICTIMS. AND THEIR
FAMILY MEMBERS IF THEY WILL NOT
BE SENDING A REPRESENTATIVE TO
ATTEND A PAROLE HEARING. IT IS A
TYPICAL PRACTICE FOR THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO
SEND A REPRESENTATIVE TO APPEAR
TO A PAROLE HEARING AND
DEMONSTRATE TO THE BOARD WHETHER
AN INMATE. IS UNSUITABLE FOR
RELEASE. THE REPRESENTATIVE CAN
HIGHLIGHT THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE
INMATES CRIMES. AND REBUT ANY
MISLEADING ARGUMENTS MADE BY THE
INMATE OR INMATES ATTORNEY ABOUT
THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE CRIME.
SOME DISTRIBUTORS HAVE DECIDED
TO STOP SENDING DEPUTIES TO PRO
HEARINGS WITHOUT NOTIFYING CRIME
VICTIMS THIS HAS UNFORTUNATELY
LEFT MANY CRIME VICTIMS OR-
THEIR NEXT OF KIN TO HAVE TO
FEND FOR THEMSELVES IN A COMPLEX
LEGAL SYSTEM. AB EIGHTY NINE
OFFERS THESE CRIME VICTIMS A
NEEDED SOURCE OF SUPPORT BY
REQUIRING A DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE TO NOTIFY VICTIMS AND
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS IF THEY
WILL NOT BE SENDING. THE
REPRESENTATIVE TO APRIL HEARING
. THIS NOTICE REQUIREMENT IS
CRUCIAL FOR ENSURING CRIME
VICTIMS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE
ADEQUATE TIME TO PREPARE FOR
THESE CRIMES OR FOR THESE PRO
HEARINGS. SHOULD A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE NOT ATTEND. I
RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR SUPPORT
FOR THIS MAJOR SO THAT CRIME
VICTIMS CAN ADEQUATELY PREPARE
FOR FUTURE PAROLE HEARINGS.

SORRY GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS ARE TODAY I PRESENT
IT ASSEMBLY BILL SIX NINETY FIVE
AB SIX NINETY FIVE WOULD CREATE
THE JUVENILE DETENTION
FACILITIES IMPROVEMENT GRANT
PROGRAM. THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
PROBATION DEPARTMENT'S JUVENILE
DETENTION FACILITIES ARE BADLY
OUTDATED AND IN NEED OF CRITICAL
RENOVATIONS WITH ALMOST ALL OF
ITS PHYSICAL PLANTS
INSIGNIFICANT DILAPIDATION. LOS
ANGELES A PROBATION DEPARTMENT
IS STAFFED BY THOUSANDS OF
DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO
HAVE COMMITTED THEIR
PROFESSIONAL LIVES TO ACHIEVING
SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES FOR THE
YOUTH THEY SERVE HOWEVER WITH
INDEPENDENT REPORTS DATING BACK
TEN YEARS OUTLINING THE CRITICAL
NEED FOR MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS AND CURRENT
RESEARCH FORMING THE BASIS OF A
TRUE TRAUMA INFORMED CARE MODEL.
IT IS WELL PAST THE TIME TO MAKE
SUBSTANTIAL RENOVATIONS IN THEIR
CURRENT STATE ALLEY PROBATION
FACILITIES ARE NOT ADEQUATE TO
MEET THE BASIC STATE LIGHT REAP
STATE LAW REQUIREMENT OF A HOME
LIKE ENVIRONMENT MUCH LESS TO
MEET THE CURRENT CARE FIRST
INTENSIVE REHABILITATION MODEL
THAT JUVENILE JUSTICE REQUIRES.
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
ENSURE THAT EVERY POSSIBLE
EFFORT IS MADE TO PROVIDE A
POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR YOUTH THAT
HAVE BEEN REMANDED TO THE CARE
OF OUR PROBATION DEPARTMENT.
THIS MEASURE EXPOSES ON HONEST
AND BLUNT TRUTH THE TOOLS AND
FACILITIES ARE HINDERING OUR
ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE CARE
THESE KIDS DESERVE. WITH ME

IS SUPPORT TO OFTEN OPERATIONS
SUCH AS STAFFING IT IS THIS BILL

TRAINING THINGS OF THAT SORT
WHICH IS LEFT UP TO THE
COUNTIES. WHAT IT DOES DO IS

ENVIRONMENT FOR THE YOUTH THAT

STAGING WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO
HELP PLACE TO COME IN AND
PROVIDE SPECIAL SERVICES- THAT
MIGHT BE NEEDED OUTSIDE OF THE
NORMAL PROGRAMMING. THAT IS DONE
APPROPRIATIONS. WE DO THINK

FACT THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO
FOR- THAT IS REFORM WHICH IF
IT'S A DIFFERENT SCENARIO- IF
THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE TALK

AS WELL AND I CAN ALSO HAVE
MIGHT WITNESS WITNESSES COME UP

DESCRIBE SOME OF THOSE
IMPROVEMENTS THAT THE FACILITY
WOULD EXPERIENCE YES- BASICO
STRUCTURE OF THE FACILITIES ARE
SOME OF MY OVER EIGHTY YEARS
OLD- IT'S A- PRISON LIKE
FACILITY. NO ONE KNOWS THAT YOU
CAN LOOK OUT NO AESTHETICS- THAT
PRESENTS THE ENVIRONMENTAL
ATMOSPHERE THAT YOU NEED FOR
CARE FIRST TYPE FACILITIES. ALSO
OF MOST OF THE FACILITIES DO NOT
HAVE VOCATIONAL CENTERS WHERE
YOU CAN ALLOW FOR TRAINING SUCH
AS AUTOMOTIVE WHAT THE H. THE AT
TRICKS. ABOUT ALSO THERE WAS
SOME INCORRECT INFORMATION THAT
WAS BEING SAID ABOUT THE CLOSING
OF THE FACILITIES. MARY J. WHICH
ISN'T VERY J. JUVENILE WHOLE IS
NOT BEING CLOSED IS BEING
RECONDITIONED FOR THE S. Y. T.
ELF WHICH DEALS. FORMALLY KNOWN
AS DJ FROM THE STATE WHICH THE
STATE HAS SENT TO THE COUNTY.
FOR THAT FACILITY NEEDS
RESTRUCTURING JUST SLOW CAN MEET
THAT CLIENTELE THAT'S COMING IN.
THE- CLIENTELE THAT'S CURRENTLY
THERE IS GOING TO LOS FOR
DREAMGIRLS AND IN CENTRAL
JUVENILE HALL IS BEING
REPOSITIONED AS AN INTAKE UNIT.
TO DECIDE WHETHER YOU WILL BE
COMMITTED OR NOT SO THE
FACILITIES ARE NOT NECESSARILY
CLOSING TOOL- WILL BE IN FULL
FORCE ONE WILL BE REMODELED
ALREADY CONDITION- SO I WANT TO
MAKE THAT CORRECTION. AND AGAIN
THE DJ J. WHICH IS CLOSING AT
THE STATE LEVEL AS OF JUNE
THIRTIETH OF THIS YEAR ALL OF
THOSE MOUNTAINS WILL BE. GOING
TO THE BERRY J. SYSTEM SO. WE
HAVE A CHANGE IN IT- ALSO
THERE'S NOT. CURRENT MEDICAL
FACILITIES NECESSARY TO GIVE
WITH REAL TIME TREATMENT TO YOU
JUST IN CASE THEY HAVE ISSUES
YOU HAVE TO CONTRACT OUT WITH
SOME. OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE WILL
PROVIDE US A RIPPLING SOMETHING
BUT WILL PROVIDE FOR THAT IF.
CLUB THE BILL TO SUPPORT IT- IT
WOULD ALSO- IN THE BILL. BE
OVERSEEN BY THE- WHY C. R. WHICH
WILL DETERMINE AFTER A PLAN IS
PRESENTED TO THEM WHETHER IT HAS
ALL THE NECESSARY THINGS
NECESSARY TO ENHANCE OUR
PROGRAMMING. THROUGH
THERAPEUTICS AND CAREFIRST THANK
IN THE PROBATION DEPARTMENT
THANK YOU. SO LET ME BE CLEAR.
THE DOT THE- WOULD BE USED.
RECAPPING BUT NOT A- OF BAD
CERTAIN IT WILL INCREASE THE CUP
. OF THE- USED TO BE. THE NET.
TREATMENTS THROUGH SPACE.
INFRASTRUCTURE STATIC. TO THE
EXACTLY CAL IMPROVE THANK YOU.
ANY FOR QUESTIONS. SENATOR
SKINNER. THANK YOU- I AM NOT
SURE WELL I THINK I WOULD BE
STAYING OFF THIS BILL TODAY
BECAUSE- AS BUDGET CHAIR I'M
AWARE OF WHAT APPROPRIATIONS WE
HAVE GIVEN. TO TO SUPPORT THIS-
THE CHANGE WE'VE MADE IN THE
CLOSER OF DJJ AND IN THE GIVING
THE COUNTIES- NOT MORE
RESPONSIBILITY BUT- BASICALLY
ADDITIONAL YOUTH BUT ALSO. A
CHANGE IN THE WHOLE IN PUTTING
OUR- ARE YOU SEE WITHIN OUR
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
DEPARTMENT. VERSUS UNDER A
CORRECTIONAL DEPARTMENT. NOW
PROBATION CLEARLY WILL CONTINUE
AND STILL DOES HAVE A VERY
IMPORTANT ROLE AND IN FACT IN
LAST YEAR'S STATE BUDGET WE
PROVIDED A HUNDRED MILLION TO
COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENTS. TO
RENOVATE REPAIR AND IMPROVE
COUNTY JUVENILE FACILITIES SO WE
DID APPROPRIATE QUITE A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT WE ALSO
CREATED IN THE YEAR THAT WE-
STARTED THE WHOLE PROCESS OF
CLOSURE OF DJJ WE CREATED A-
GRANT PROGRAMS- BASICALLY TO-
IT'S OF YOUTH PROGRAMS AND
FACILITIES GRANT PROGRAM. FOR
SIMILAR PURPOSES IS THIS AND
GIVEN THAT WE ARE IN A BUDGET
SHORTFALL RIGHT NOW- AND AS FAR
AS I KNOW THIS PARTICULAR-
APPROPRIATION IS NOT IN THE
BUDGET- I WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE
PASSING IT AT THIS POINT. SO
TWENTY TWO EXPLAINED THAT IN
ALSO CITE THOSE THINGS THAT ARE-
DOCUMENTED IN OUR ANALYSIS.
THANK YOU ON ANY OTHER SENATOR
TO BOOK. SO NOW WE
ACCOUNTABILITY- YOU FOR SHARING
THAT UP THROUGH THE CHAIR THANK
YOU FOR SHARING THAT SENATOR
SKINNER I'M KINDA CURIOUS HAS
THAT THOSE MONIES THAT WERE
ALLOCATED LAST YEAR THROUGH THE
BUDGET. AS MENTIONED BY MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BERKELEY HAVE
THEY REACHED THE COUNTIES ARE
THESE FUNDS AVAILABLE. I CANNOT
SPEAK TO THAT DEBT SO- AT A
HIGHER LEVEL I'M IN THE
PROBATION DEPARTMENT BUT NOT IN
THE OVERSIGHT IN TERMS OF THE
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS- I WILL SAY
THOUGH IN THIS BILL- THE- WHY C.
R. AND THE COUNTY HAS TO AGREE.
ON CERTAIN THINGS WILL THERE BE
A BETTER MONITORING OF THE FUNDS
AS THEY'RE BEING SENT TO THE
COUNTY LEVELS AND SO- WE WOULD
HOPE THAT THIS BILL- YOU KNOW WE
HAVE THE OVERSIGHT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FUNDS THAT ARE SENT FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE. WILL BE USED FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE. ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS
OF SOMEONE WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE YES THANK YOU AGAIN ALL
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
MY BILL- THIS BILL WOULD BE TO.
REMOVE PROVED THE-
INFRASTRUCTURES OF THE JUVENILE
DETENTION FACILITIES IT IS FOR
THE YOUTH- THIS- BILL HAS BEEN
SUPPORTED BY THREE OF THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS. OUT OF THE FIVE
AND SO- I'M HOPING THAT YOU
SUPPORT MY BILL TO HELP OUR
YOUTH. AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU TO
HAVE A MOTION. COURTESY I WILL
BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ALL RIGHT
AS SENATOR TO BOOK HAS MADE A
MOTION. QUESTION IS THE PASTOR.
BOB BUT YOU ABOUT. BRADFORD

WILL BE MOVING ON TO. JUST.
WE'LL HAVE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
JACKSON- COME AND PRESENT AB
NINE NINE FOUR. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MADAM CHAIR COMMITTEE
MEMBERS THIS- MY PLEASURE TO
INTRODUCE AB NINE NINE FOUR
WHICH IS AN LGBTQ CAUCUS
PRIORITY- WHICH IS ABOUT
PROVIDING THE RIGHT BALANCE TO
ENSURE THAT EVERYONE IS SAFE AND
THAT JUSTICE AND PRIVACY IS
UPHELD. THIS BILL WILL REQUIRE
THAT SHERIFF AND POLICE
DEPARTMENTS DO NOT POST BOOKING
PHOTOS OR MUGSHOTS OF
INDIVIDUALS WHEN ARRESTED OR
SUSPENSION OF COMMITTING A NON
VIOLENT CRIME. UNLESS THE
INDIVIDUAL SUCH THAT SUBJECT IS
DEEMED AT IMMINENT RISK TO
OTHERS SO THE PUBLIC. A JUDGE
ORDERS THE RELEASE OF THE
INDIVIDUALS AND MISTER BASED ON
THE ARTICULATED LAW ENFORCEMENT
INTEREST. OR THERE IS AN EXIGENT
CIRCUMSTANCE THAT NECESSITATES
THE DISSEMINATION OF THE
INDIVIDUALS IMAGE DUE TO AN
URGENT AND LEGITIMATE LAW
ENFORCEMENT INTEREST. THE POLICE
DEEP IN THE EVENT OF A BOOKING
PHOTO IS USED AB NINE NINE FOUR-
WOULD REQUIRE THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT OR SHERIFF'S OFFICE
TO USE THE NAME AND PRONOUNS
PROVIDED BY THE INDIVIDUAL
ARRESTED. ADDITIONALLY A POLICE
DEPARTMENT OR SHERIFF'S OFFICE
ALLOWS FOR OTHER LEGAL TEAM
SCORED KNOWN ALIASES OF THE
INDIVIDUAL. F. USING THESE NAMES
OR ALIASES ASSISTANCE LOCATING
OR APPREHENDING THE INDIVIDUAL
AND REDUCES THE AND OR
ELIMINATES AN EMINENT THREAT TO
AN INDIVIDUAL OR TO PUBLIC
SAFETY. LASTLY AB NINE NINE FOUR
WILL NOW REQUIRE THAT BOOKING
PHOTOS BE TAKEN DOWN FROM SOCIAL
MEDIA AFTER FOURTEEN DAYS AFTER
BEING INITIALLY POSTED I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NOTE I VOTE

HAVE NO WITNESS OKAY PERFECT-
CAN WE GET TO WITNESSES TO

FOR THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
DEFENDERS ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT
. GOOD MORNING THERESA ROMAIN-
WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC
DEFENDER'S OFFICE IN STRONG
SUPPORT. THE MORNING CHRONICLE
**** AND HAVE A FEW YOU CAN
ACTION IN SUPPORT. MELINDA COULD
CHILDREN'S IF FUND GALA AND
SUPPORT. JOHN LINDSAY POLAND AND
FOR SERVICE IN SUPPORT. SEEING
NO OTHER SOME WHEN ASSIST CAN
REMOVE ON TO THOSE THAT ARE
WILLING TO TESTIFY IN OPPOSITION
. GOOD MORNING AND I'M SURE
MEMBERS CORY CELLS ARE BEHALF OF
CALIFORNIA SHERIFFS.
RESPECTFULLY IN OPPOSITION TO
THE BILL BY REQUIRING AN AGENCY
TO THE POST A BOOKING PHOTO TO
USE THE NAME GIVEN BY THE
PERSON- WE HAVE TO POST THAT
NAME EVEN IF IT'S KNOWN TO BE
FALSE SO. THIS IS NOT A CONCERN
THAT'S BASED ON A PERSON'S
ABILITY TO USE THEIR CHOSEN NAME
OR PRONOUNS BUT RATHER THE
ABILITY TO CLEARLY ARTICULATE.
WHO IS SHOWN IN A PHOTO. AND
WHILE THE BILL- PURSUANT TO
RECENT AMENDMENTS ALLOWS AN
AGENCY TO INCLUDE OTHER LEGAL
NAMES OR ALIASES. IT ONLY DOES
SO AS THE AUTHOR SAID IF USING
THE NAMES OR ALIASES WILL ASSIST
IN LOCATING OR APPREHENDING THE
INDIVIDUAL FOR REDUCING OR
ELIMINATING AN IMMINENT THREAT.
SO IF NEITHER OF THOSE
CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED BUT WE
HAVE A PERSON WHO'S BEING
BOOKED. AND THAT PERSON HAPPENS
TO BE KNOWN. TO LAW ENFORCEMENT
IT MAY GIVE A NAME THAT IS KNOWN
TO BE FALSE. THIS BILL WOULD
STILL REQUIRE US TO POST THAT
INFORMATION AS THE PERSON'S NAME
AND IT DOES NOT MAKE AN
ALLOWANCE. TO USE THE PERSON'S
LEGAL NAME AGAIN THIS IS NOT A
QUESTION OF PREFERRED NAME- FOR
IT AND THEN I KNOW THE AUTHOR
HAS REFERRED TO YOU KNOW VOIDING
THE PRACTICE OF DEAD NAMING BUT
THAT. AYE AYE THIS CAN BE
RESOLVED I BELIEVE BUT HERE FOR
THERE ARE BEEN NO AMENDMENTS.
THAT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE THAT
EVEN IN THE CASE WHERE THE NAME
IS KNOWINGLY FALSE. THE NAME IS
KNOWN TO BE FALSE THERE'S NO
PROVISION IN THIS BILL- THAT
WOULD ALLOW THAT TO BE REMEDY-
SO IN THE INTEREST OF
TRANSPARENCY- WITH US FOR YOUR
NOTEBOOK THANK YOU. THANK YOU
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. SEEING NONE WE WILL
MOVE ON TO THOSE WAITING TO
TESTIFY VIA TELECONFERENCE

YOU WILL MOVE THE DISCUSSION
COMMITTEE MY- SEEING NONE WILL
ASK YOU TO- SO SENATOR TO VOTE.
SO I AM. APRIL THOSE OF THE BILL
WELCOME AND- COMMITTEE I AT THE
CAN WITH REGARDS TO THIS IS
TAPER AT A BIG OF SOME. WHO NOT
YET BE CONVICTED BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THE CONCERN- THE HAS
BEEN EXPRESSED REGARD OF THE
ABUSE OCCURRED HAPPENED I'M AND
THAT'S NORMALLY WHEN I WHEN I
OPPOSE CERTAIN BILLS IT'S
USUALLY WHEN I SEE LOOPHOLES
THAT AB MAY SECOND MAY
CIRCUMVENT THE INTENT OF THE
BILL- WITH REGARDS TO THIS
PARTICULAR BILL AND THE CONCERN
THAT I HAVE IS- AS AS WAS
MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE COMMENTS
HERE THAT I READ WAS. THAT
UNLESS THEY HAVE. THE YOU A
LEGAL OFFICIAL NAME CHANGE
PEOPLE COULD SAY ANY NAME TO
DETER. SOMEONE FROM BEING
IDENTIFIED BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS-
AND THAT IS I THINK A VERY VALID
CONCERN HOW WOULD YOU RESPOND
TO- ATTACKING SYSTEM SO IT'S NOT
ABUSED BY THOSE WHO MAY WANT TO.
THE TURF FROM PEOPLE RECOGNIZE
IT AND WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT
IS- OKAY THINK OF A OF SOMETHING
THAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED
TERRIBLY EFFECTIVE MEANING
CRIMES HERE BUT- I THINK YOU GET
REGISTERED ABSOLUTELY CENTER AND
I APPRECIATE. YOUR CONCERNS I
THINK- OVERALL- WE HAVE HAD
HISTORY HERE IN CALIFORNIA LAW
ENFORCEMENT- USING THAT DATE
NAMES OF THOSE WHO OF
TRANSGENDER- INDIVIDUALS- AND- I
BELIEVE THAT- THIS BILL IS VERY
BALANCED IN MAKING SURE THAT WE
BALANCE PEOPLE'S OWN DIGNITY AND
HUMANITY- BUT AT THE SAME TIME-
IF THERE IS A- PUBLIC INTEREST
IN ENSURING. THAT INDIVIDUAL
THAT IT POSES A THREAT TO THE
COMMUNITY IS ABLE TO- BE
APPREHENDED AND IDENTIFIED ALSO
THIS BILL- ENSURES THAT IF THESE
NAMES OR ALIASES THE SYSTEM
LOCATING OR APPREHENDING AN
INDIVIDUAL- AND- FOR THEY
PROVIDE PROVIDE AN EMMETT POSE
AN IMMINENT THREAT. THAT IN FACT
A LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN USE THEIR
NAMES THOSE NAMES THOSE LEGAL
NAMES IN ADDITION TO. SO WE'RE
NOT PROHIBITING LAW ENFORCEMENT
FROM USING THOSE NAMES- F. IT
ACTUALLY WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE-
AT ALL- AND SO I THINK THAT WE
ARE NOW FINDING THAT AND IS NOT.
UNCOMMON FOR TRANSGENDER
INDIVIDUALS TO- USE- OTHER NAMES
THAT THEY HAVE. DECIDED FOR
THEMSELVES- BUT YET HAVE GONE
THROUGH THE LEGAL PROCESS OF
DOING SO- SO WE THINK THAT THIS
IS A BALANCED APPROACH. ONCE
AGAIN THERE'S A NUMBER OF
OPPORTUNITIES TO ENSURE THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT CAN USE THOSE LEGAL
NAMES- F. AS NECESSARY- BUT JUST
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO- WE BELIEVE
IN THE LGBTQ CAUCUS BELIEVES
THAT'S JUST NOT SIMPLY NOT
ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU- WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND I WILL
THANK YOU I DO HAVE A MOTION.

MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS. PLEASE
FORGIVE ME I'M HAVING THIS BIG
ATTACK OF ALLERGIES THIS MORNING
SO MY EYES ARE LIKE WATERING BUT
HERE WE GO ASSEMBLY BILL ELEVEN
EIGHTY SEVEN IS A CRUCIAL BILL
ALLOWING CHILD VICTIMS OF CRIME
ACCESS TO SERVICES FROM
CERTIFIED CHILD LIFE
SPECIALISTS. UNDER LIGHT LICENSE
PROVIDERS ADVERSE CHILDHOOD
EXPERIENCES HAVE LASTING EFFECTS
ON INDIVIDUALS INCLUDING PTSD
VIOLENCE PATTERNS. CHRONIC
HEALTH PROBLEMS MENTAL ILLNESS
AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE CHILDREN WHO
ARE SURVIVORS OF ABUSE NEGLECT.
NEGLECT FAMILY VIOLENCE AND LOSS
DESERVE SUPPORT FROM HIGHLY
SKILLED AND TRAINED FOR

S. THESE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
ARE IN DIRE NEED OF GRIEF

MITIGATE THE POTENTIAL EFFECTS
OVER THEIR LIFESPAN. CHILD LIFE
SPECIALISTS OFFER TRAUMA
INFORMED CARE AND INTERVENTIONS
BUT ARE CURRENTLY NOT RECOGNIZED
AS AUTHORIZED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
PROVIDERS BY THE CALIFORNIA
VICTIMS COMPENSATION BOARD.
PASSING AB ELEVEN EIGHTY SEVEN
EXPANDS THE MUCH NEEDED POOL OF
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALISTS
AVAILABLE TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL
SERVICES TO THESE CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES WITH ME TODAY TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF AB ELEVEN
EIGHTY SEVEN AND ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE IS MISTER

AB ELEVEN EIGHTY SAID. THAT'S
THE MEMBER IN. AB ELEVEN SEVEN
WOULD ALLOW CERTIFIED CHILD LIFE
SPECIALISTS WORKING UNDER THE
SUPERVISION OF A LICENSED MENTAL
HEALTH PROVIDER TO BE REIMBURSED
BY THE VICTIMS OF CRIME PROGRAM
. LAW ENFORCEMENT FACES MANY
CHALLENGES WHEN RESPONDING TO
CHILDREN WHO SURVIVE IN OR
WITNESS FAMILY VIOLENCE CHILD
ABUSE AND NEGLECT. FOUR OF HAD A
FAMILY MEMBER DIED BY HOMICIDE
OR SUICIDE THE SURVIVING
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ARE AT
RISK OF BOTH NEGATIVE. SHORT AND
LONG TERM OUTCOMES DUE TO THE
TRAUMA FEAR INSTABILITY
INTERRUPTED ATTACHMENT
RELATIONSHIPS GRIEF AND
SUBSEQUENT EMOTIONS THAT ARISE
AFTER WITNESSING AND OR
OTHERWISE BEING IMPACTED BY
FAMILY VIOLENCE. THESE ADVERSE
CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES ARE WELL
DOCUMENTED AND A LINK TO THE
NEGATIVE OUTCOMES THAT THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER INDICATED. THEY
COULD ALSO NEGATIVELY IMPACT
EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT JOB
OPPORTUNITIES AND EARNING
POTENTIAL HOWEVER THESE HARMS
CAN BE LESSONS THROUGH
APPROPRIATE MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELING. MOST MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS ARE NOT
SPECIFICALLY TRAINED FOR THE
DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS THAT
ARISE AND ARE NECESSARY WHEN
SUPPORTING CHILDREN AND FAMILY
MEMBERS DEALING WITH TRAUMA AND
DEATH. MANY MENTAL HEALTH
PROVIDERS FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT
UNCOMFORTABLE OVERWHELMING OR AT
A LOSS FOR WORDS OR ACTIONS WHEN
DEALING WITH CHILDREN WHO'VE
EXPERIENCED VIOLENCE SPACE
TRAUMA. THIS IS WERE CERTIFIED
CHILD LIFE SPECIALISTS CAN HELP.
A CERTIFIED CHILD LIFE

SEVEN TWO FIVE WILL REQUIRE THE
OWNER A FIRE FRAMER REPORT. THE
LOSS OR THEFT THOSE CAN TO A LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY THEY CAN BE
ENTERED INTO THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE AUTOMATED FARM ARM
SYSTEM. WHILE FRAMES RECEIVERS
ARE CONSIDERED FIREARMS FOR THE
PURPOSES REGISTRATION AND
LICENSING UNDER CURRENT LAW
THEY'RE NOT TREATED AS SUCH WHEN
IT COMES TO REQUIREMENTS FOR
REPORTING LOST OR STOLEN
FIREARMS. AB SO AT SEVEN TWENTY
FIVE CLOSES THIS LOOPHOLE BY
MAKING FAILURE TO REPORT A LOST
OR STOLEN FIRE FRAME A RECEIVER.
THE SAME INFRACTION AS FAILURE
TO REPORT A FIREARM THE FRAMER
RECEIVER SEARS AS THE BASE
PLATFORM FOR MOST FIREARMS
TYPICALLY HOUSES THE TRIGGER
HAMMER FOLDS THE FIRING PIN WAS
SOME VARIANTS DEPENDING ON THE
TYPE FIREARM. THAT ALLOW THEM TO
BE OPERABLE ONCE ASSEMBLED FOR
THAT WHILE THESE PARTS MAY SEEM
INNOCUOUS ON THEIR OWN THEY
REPRESENT ONE OF THE MOST
CRITICAL COMPONENTS OF ANY
OPERATIONAL FIREARMS. REQUIRING
ANYONE WHO WANTS FRAME A
RECEIVER TO REPORT THEM TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IF THEY'RE%
LOST AND STOLEN. IS A COMMON
SENSE APPROACH TO ENSURING THAT
WE ARE APPROPRIATELY TRACKING
THESE COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE
USED TO ASSEMBLE A FULLY
OPERATIONAL FIREARMS. I AM
PLEASED TO BE JOINED BY CARTER
GLAND. ON BEHALF OF THE
CONFERENCE OF CALIFORNIA BAR
ASSOCIATIONS HERE. TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. THANK YOU
SENATOR. THANK MADAM CHAIRMAN
CHAIR- I AM GONNA HERE ON BEHALF
OF THE- OR- BAR SAYS. IN SUPPORT
OF AB SO TWENTY FIVE. AND AS THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER POINTED OUT THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE GUN OWNERS TO
REPORT NOT ONLY A LOST OR STOLEN
FIREARM BUT ALSO LOST OR STOLEN
FRAME RECEIVER PRECURSOR PARK.
THE FRAME RECEIVERS PART AGAIN
THAT HAS THE FIRING MECHANISMS
AS POINTED OUT AND IS CONSIDERED
A FIREARM ALREADY UNDER FEDERAL
LAW. AND MOST OF OUR STATE LAWS
. PORTING LUSTER FOR STOLEN
FRAME RECEIVER OR PRECURSOR PARK
CAN HELP PREVENT GUN
TRAFFICKING. AS MANY BLACK
MARKET GUNS ARE BUILT WITH SUCH
STOLEN OR LOST FRAMES AND
RECEIVERS. AND THEN SOLD IN THE
BLACK MARKET. BY REPORTING A
LOST OR STOLEN FIREARMS A FRAME
OR RECEIVER AT THE GUN OWNERS
CAN HELP LAW ENFORCEMENT TO
TRACK THEM BETTER AND TRACKING
DOWN SOONER AND HOPEFULLY THOSE
PREVENT. HARM TO THE PUBLIC.
WITH RIGHTS COME. IN REPORTING A
LOST OR STOLEN FRAMEWORK FOR
RECEIVER. AS A PART SHOULD BE A
RESPONSIBILITY OF GUN OWNERSHIP.
AND AS IT IS WITHIN THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF ENSURING FARMS
ARE ALWAYS SECURE AND ACCOUNTED
FOR. THERE IS SOME ARGUMENT IN
THE OPPOSITION LETTER THAT SAYS
THAT THE TERM PRECURSOR PART IS
SO VAGUE THAT IT COULD REQUIRE
PEOPLE REPORT. IT LOST OR STOLEN
. LOST OR STOLEN SOMETHING AS
BENIGN AS A PAN OR SPRING
HOWEVER THAT IS INCORRECT WITHIN
THE CURRENT STATUTORY SCHEME.
ALL THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE IS
THAT IF THIS IS A PART THAT MUST
BE REGISTERED OR GO THROUGH A
BACKGROUND CHECK OR HAVE A RATE
WAITING PERIOD BEFORE YOU
PURCHASE IT. THEN IT IS A PART
THAT MUST BE REPORTED WHEN LOST
OR STOLEN THIS IS NOT EXPANDING
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO RECEIVE
OR PURCHASE ANY OF THESE ITEMS.
IT IS MERELY MAKING IT A
RESPONSIBILITY THAT RESPONSIBLE
GUN OWNERS SHOULD BE WILLING TO
BEAR. WITH THAT I THANK YOU AN
ORIGINAL VOTE. THANK YOU- DO WE
HAVE ANY OTHER SUPPORT WITNESSES
IN THE ROOM. PLEASE STATE YOUR
NAME YOUR ORGAN THAT YOU SUPPORT

THE SHOOTER'S BODY ARMOR STOPPED

GUARD AARON SALTER JUNIOR WAS
KILLED BY THE SHOOTER WHO WENT

HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY IN

INCLUDES PERSON SUBJECT TO A GUN

PERSONS CONVICTED OF ASSAULT
WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. ANY PERSON
CONVICTED OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AND ANY PERSON MAKING THREATS TO
COMMIT A CRIME THAT RESULTS IN

OUT OF THE HANDS OF VIOLENT
CRIMINALS THERE WITH ME TO
TESTIFY TODAY IS JESSICA HEY.
WITH THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION THANK YOU
AND YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. GOOD
MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT TODAY
MY NAME IS JESSICA HEY AND I'M
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION.
CSEA REPRESENTS NEARLY TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
CLASSIFIED SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
THESE ARE THE FOLKS THAT GET
KIDS TO AND FROM SCHOOL EVERY
DAY MAKE SURE KIDS HAVE A
WELCOME MEAN SAFE CLEAN LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT TEACHERS
ON CLASSROOM TO MAKE SURE
STUDENTS GET THE ACADEMIC
ASSISTANCE THEY NEED AND SO MUCH
MORE- TODAY TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OF AB NINETY TWO. WHICH
CORRECTLY RECOGNIZES THE ROLE
THAT BODY ARMOR PLAYS IN PER
CONTENT YOU EIGHTY MASS
SHOOTINGS IN THE US. BODY ARMOR
IS CRUCIAL FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL AND THOSE
WORKING IN HIGH RISK PROFESSIONS
HOWEVER THE EASY AVAILABILITY OF
THIS MILITARY GRADE GEAR TO THE
GENERAL PUBLIC WITH MINIMAL
REGULATIONS REGULATIONS ARE
OVERSIGHTS. HAS ENABLED MASS
SHOOTERS TO AMPLIFY THEIR
DEVASTATION AND DESTROYED MORE
INNOCENT LIVES. THIS PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT NOT ONLY SHIELDS THEM
FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT BUT IT
REALLY GIVES THEM A HEIGHTENED
SENSE OF INVULNERABILITY. MASS
SHOOTINGS ARE BECOMING ALL TOO
FAMILIAR AND HEARTBREAKING
PHENOMENON IN OUR SCHOOLS- IN
TWENTY TWELVE- A GUNMAN WORE A
BULLETPROOF VEST. INTO SANDY
HOOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND
KILLED TWENTY SIX PEOPLE TWENTY
OF WHOM WERE CHILDREN. STUDENTS
FAMILIES AND SCHOOL STAFF SHOULD
NOT BE AFRAID TO GO TO SCHOOL I
WORK EVERY DAY. THESE MASS
SHOOTINGS ARE OCCURRING IN
PLACES WHERE PEOPLE SHOULD FEEL
SAFE LIKE SCHOOLS MOVIE THEATERS
CHURCHES SUPERMARKETS. AS WE
REFLECT ON THESE TRAGIC
TRAGEDIES IT'S EVIDENT THAT MANY
OF THESE ASSAILANTS TOOK TIME TO
METICULOUSLY. PICK OUT THEIR
WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT. SO THAT
THEY COULD MAXIMIZE THEIR
DAMAGE. BY INTRODUCING
REASONABLE RESTRICTIONS ON BODY
ARMOR WE CAN DISRUPT THE CYCLE
OF VIOLENCE MAKING IT HARDER FOR
INDIVIDUALS WITH MALICIOUS
INTENT TO EXECUTE THEIR PLANS.
IN CONCLUSION THE TIME HAS COME
FOR US TO ADDRESS THIS GLARING
GAP IN OUR CURRENT LAWS AND
REGARDING BODY ARMOR. AB NINETY
TWO WILL NOT ONLY DISRUPT PLANS
OF MASS SHOOTERS BUT IT WILL
HELP KEEP OUR SCHOOLS SAFE THANK
YOU APPRECIATE IT DO WE HAVE ANY
OTHER SUPPORT WITNESSES IN THE

UNDERSTANDING OF HOW MILITARY
EQUIPMENT IS DEPLOYED IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. ASSAULT RIFLES ARE
EXPLICITLY INCLUDED IN THE
LEGISLATION LIST OF MILITARY
EQUIPMENT TO BE REGULATED. BUT
THERE'S AN EXCEPTION FOR
UNDEFINED STANDARD ISSUE SERVICE
WEAPONS THIS ENABLES ELEAZAR TO
ACQUIRE AND USE WEAPONS INTENDED
TO BE COVERED BY AB FORTY ONE.
WITHOUT CREATING POLICIES FOR
THEIR DEPLOYMENT OR REPORTING ON
THEIR USES. WHILE MOST ELEAZAR
OWN THEM HAVE INCLUDED THEM IN
THEIR POLICIES ABOUT ONE IN SIX
HAVE EXCLUDED THEM. AB FORTY ONE
X. REQUIRES USE POLICIES FOR
MILITARY EQUIPMENT THAT INCLUDES
A DESCRIPTION OF ITS AUTHORIZED
USES. MANY AGENCIES HAVE THEM
HAVE INSTEAD WRITTEN WHO MAY USE
THE EQUIPMENT. AB FOURTEEN
EIGHTY SIX CLARIFIES THAT
AUTHORIZED USES ARE SITUATIONS
WHERE THE EQUIPMENT IS
AUTHORIZED TO BE DISPLAYED.
DEPLOYED FOR DISCHARGED. I
PRODUCE AN ANNUAL REPORT HOW
THEY USED MILITARY. AND HOLD THE
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETING TO
YOUR CONCERNS AND ANSWER
QUESTIONS. GOVERNING BODIES AND
PUBLICLY DECIDE ON RENEWAL OF
THE USE POLICIES. BUT SOME
AGENCIES HAVE SCHEDULED
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT MEETINGS
AFTER THE GOVERNING BODY HAS
MADE ITS PUBLIC DECISION ABOUT
RENEWAL. THIS BILL WILL FIX THAT
WE URGE YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU
THANK YOU DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER
SUPPORT WITNESSES. OKAY SEEING

OPPOSITION WITNESSES. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS COURCELLES
ALONE WE HAVE THE CALIFORNIA
STATE SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL- THE
STATUTE THAT ENACTED THE
REQUIREMENT ON MILITARY
EQUIPMENT SAYS THAT. CERTAIN
STANDARD ISSUE SERVICE WEAPONS
SHOULD BE EXEMPTED FROM THE
BURDENSOME MILITARY EQUIPMENT
PROCESS. THIS BILL GOES BACK ON
WHAT WAS ENACTED. BY THIS LAW
WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS THE INTENT
TO INCLUDE ASSAULT WEAPONS ARE
NOT THE LEGISLATION DID NOT
INCLUDE. ASSAULT WEAPONS- IT
ALSO IS NOT LIMITED TO SURPLUS
MILITARY EQUIPMENT THE- THAT'S
THE TERMINOLOGY THAT'S USED
AROUND THIS BILL IN THIS
PROCESS. BUT THE REALITY IS
ANYTHING THAT QUALIFIES AS
MILITARY EQUIPMENT UNDER THE
DEFINITION OF A BEFORE ANYONE IS
QUALIFIED SO THESE MAY BE
FIREARMS THAT WERE ACQUIRED
TWENTY YEARS AGO. THAT WERE
NEVER IN A MILITARY STREAM OF
POSSESSION AND YET THEY WOULD
STILL BE REQUIRED. TO BE SUBJECT
TO THIS PROCESS THESE RIFLES ARE
VERY COMMONLY USED THEIR
DEPLOYMENT- SUBJECT TO TRAINING-
BUT PEACE OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED
TO HAVE BEFORE THEY CAN. USE
THESE TOOLS OF THE TRADE- WE
OBJECTED TO THE ORIGINAL POLICY
AND WE OBJECT TO THIS THIS BILL
EXACERBATES THE CHALLENGES OF
THE ORIGINAL BILL BY SUBJECTING
THE AVAILABILITY OF VITAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT RESOURCES. TO THE
POLITICAL WHIMS OF BOARDS OF
SUPERVISORS AND CITY COUNCILS.
THAT THINK THAT CERTAIN TYPES OF
FIREARMS OR SCARY OR SHOULDN'T
BE IN THE HANDS OF POLICE AND WE
FAIL TO SEE WHAT THE VIRTUE. OF
TAKING THESE TOOLS AWAY FROM LAW
ENFORCEMENT IS FROM A CRIME
FIGHTING PERSPECTIVE THANK YOU

WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A

TO BE AND TOOL. WHENEVER WE
INTERACT WITH A POLICE OFFICER.
IT IS NOT BY CONSENT IT IS
BECAUSE A POLICE OFFICER

REASON FOR IT WHETHER THERE WAS
ANY WRONGDOING AND WE'RE SAYING
THAT THAT- ACTION THAT WAS
AUTOMATICALLY RECORDED WITHOUT

IMPORTANT BECAUSE FEDERAL

RECOGNITION SOFTWARE IS
INACCURATE AND BIASED GENERATING
UP TO A HUNDRED TIMES MORE FALSE
POSITIVES FOR WOMEN AND PEOPLE

THAT THE SKEWED AND CONSTANT
MOVEMENT INHERENT IN BODY CAMERA
FOOTAGE RAISES THE RISK OF THESE
FALSE POSITIVES. THIS IS A
PROBLEM IN ANY CONTEXT BUT IS
ESPECIALLY FRAUGHT ADDED TO THE
THOUSANDS OF BODY CAMS IN THE

WORRY ABOUT FOLKS MY LIKE MY

ANIMAL WELFARE GROUPS AND MENTAL
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS HAVE LONG
BEEN CONCERNED THE CURRENT
PENALTIES FOR ANIMAL CRUELTY
CASES DO NOT DO ENOUGH TO
ADDRESS THE ROOT CAUSES OF
VIOLENT CRIME. TOWARD ANIMALS
INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
. GIVEN THE CORRELATION OR LINK
BETWEEN ANIMAL ABUSE AND
VIOLENCE TOWARD HUMANS. EARLY
MENTAL HEALTH INTERVENTION IS
THE KEY TO STOPPING THE
PROGRESSION AND ESCALATION OF

WILL ATTEST THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN HUMAN VIOLENCE IN ANIMAL
ABUSE REFERRED TO AS THE LINK IS
THE FINDING THE TWO BEHAVIORS
ARE CORRELATED THEY COKER SUCH

THEIR ABUSIVE CATS AND OTHER
ANIMALS. RESEARCH HAS LONG
IDENTIFIED ANIMAL CRUELTY IS A
STRONG PREDICTOR OF SUBSEQUENT
VIOLENCE AGAINST PERSON. FINDING
THE ANIMAL ABUSERS ARE AS MUCH
AS FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO
HARM HUMANS. GRAHAM'S DEVELOPED
BY DOCTOR LINDER AND OTHERS
INCLUDE ANY CARE APPROACH. A
PSYCHO THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION
THAT FOCUSES ON ESTABLISHING
ACCOUNTABILITY EXAMINING BELIEFS
AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS ANIMALS.
AND DEVELOPING NONVIOLENT
PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES.
THERE'S ALSO THE BENCHMARK
ANIMAL REHABILITATIVE CURRICULUM
OR BARK. IS AND IT'S A- PROGRAM
. IN USING. THESE ARE JUST A
COUPLE OF THE EXAMPLES OF THE
PROGRAMS THAT JUDGES MAY POINT
TO WHEN ORDERING COUNSELLING.
THIS LINK BETWEEN ANIMAL ABUSE
AND VIOLENCE AGAINST HUMANS MUST
PROMPT A STUDENT'S MEASURES LIKE
THIS BILL TO NOT ONLY PREVENT
FUTURE ANIMAL CRUELTY BUT BOUNCE
INSTRUMENTS. I WANT TO THANK

MOVE PEOPLE WHO ARE
UNFORTUNATELY- HAVE SEVERE
SUBSTANCE ABUSED DISORDERS-
ADDICTION- RUNS HIGH IN TOO MANY
OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND
UNFORTUNATELY TOO MANY PEOPLE
WHO HAVE ADDICTION AND TO
INTERACT WITH THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM SYSTEM SYSTEM-
OUR SENTENCE FOR RELATED CRIMES
GO SERVE- YOU KNOW SEVERAL YEAR
TURNS AND OTHER STATE A PRISONER
COUNTY JAIL. AND COME OUT NOT
ADDRESSING THE UNDERLYING ISSUES
OF THEIR ADDICTION 70% OF DRUG
OFFENDERS ARE REARRESTED WITHIN
THREE YEARS AND WE KNOW THAT
THAT PRISONS AND JAILS ARE NOT
THE ADEQUATE PLACE TO TREAT
ADDICTION THIS REALLY A PUBLIC
HEALTH ISSUE AND A CRISIS IT
DESERVES- ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
AND BUT WITH US TODAY. IS A-
PROPOSAL A FIVE YEAR PILOT TO
RIGHT HERE IN SACRAMENTO AND
YOLO COUNTY WHICH WILL ALLOW
SACRAMENTO COUNTY PROVIDE
VOLUNTARY AND TEMPORARY.
CONFINED TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR
THOSE ELIGIBLE RATHER THAN JUST
SERVING THEIR PRISON- COUNTY
JAIL TIME. THIS IS A BIPARTISAN
BILL AND I KNOW THERE'S SOME
CONFUSION BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE
SAY WELL THESE INDIVIDUAL SHOULD
BE ABLE TO GET TREATMENT IN THE
COMMUNITY. THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO GO HOME
WITH ANKLE BRACELETS THESE ARE
PEOPLE WHO WILL BE SERVING TIME.
AND AT COUNTY JAIL OR STATE
PRISON. AND GIVE THEM THE OPTION
TO VOLUNTARY CHOOSE- TO FOCUS
ON- TREATMENT. BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT- DOING NOTHING WITH US. UP
ENOUGH THAT NECESSARY. ADDRESS
UNDER IS OF. ABUSE THIS. NOR
HELP OUR COMMUNITIES NOR THEIR
FAMILIES- THIS AGAIN IS A
NARROWLY DEFINED- PROGRAM IN TWO
COUNTIES A PILOT FOR FIVE YEARS-
LOOK FORWARD TO THE CONVERSATION
AND ALIGNMENT WITNESSES TO.
REPRESENT THIS MORNING THANK YOU
THANK YOU- TO THE FIRST WITNESS
YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. DEPUTY
OF THE SOCCER CA DIST ATTORNEY
OFFICE. SACRAMENTO COUNTY DA'S
OFFICE SUPPORTS ASSEMBLY BILL
THIRTEEN SIXTY IT IS UNDENIABLE
THAT THE INTERSECTION OF
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND SUBSTANCE
USE DISORDERS IS IMPACTING
PUBLIC SAFETY. AND IT'S TIME TO
TAKE MEANINGFUL ACTION. LOW
LEVEL OFFENDERS OFTEN FIND
THEMSELVES IN THE REVOLVING DOOR
OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
BECAUSE THEIR UNDERLYING ISSUE
IS NOT BEING FULLY AND CAPABLY
ADDRESS. THIS BILL WOULD ADDRESS
THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE CRIMINAL
CONDUCT. BY PROVIDING SECURE
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT NOT ONLY
IS THE PUBLIC PROTECTED FROM
FURTHER CRIME BUT THE OFFENDER.
IS RECEIVING DESPERATELY NEEDED
ASSISTANCE. THIS BILL TAKES A
WELL ROUNDED VIEW OF THE
OFFENDER TO ENSURE VITAL
COMPONENTS OF RECOVERY ARE
ACTUALLY ADDRESSED. SUCCESSFUL
TREATMENT WOULD ACTUALLY LEAD TO
LOWER INCARCERATION RATES LOWER
RECIDIVISM RATES AND INCREASE
PUBLIC SAFETY. FOR FAR TOO LONG
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM HAS
BEEN ENGAGED IN STATUS QUO
PROSECUTION. NOW IS THE TRYING
TRY NEW AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS
. WITH THIS BILL THE SACRAMENTO
REGION COULD BECOME THE LEADING
MODEL FOR CALIFORNIA SUBSTANCE
USE DISORDER OFFENDERS. THIS
BILL GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
TACKLE CRIME TO HOPE SUPPORT.
AND MEANINGFUL TREATMENT AND
ASSISTANCE. THANK YOU. I THOUGHT
WE DID- WE ONCE THAT'S NO
WORRIES WE'LL MOVE ON TO SUPPORT
WITNESSES AGAINST YOUR NAME YOUR
ORGAN THAT YOU SUPPORT WE LIKE
TO GO THROUGH THIS PRETTY
QUICKLY. SHINY ORALLY DEPUTY

FOR THE MONTH THANK YOU. DO WE
HAVE ANY OTHER OPPOSITION
WITNESSES. THERESA ROMAN WITH
THE SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC
DEFENDER'S OFFICE IN OPPOSITION
. RIGHT. GOOD MORNING. MY NAME
KERRY MCCOY VICE OF INPUT
AFFAIRS ALL THREE THREE SIXTY.
YEAH OF ONE OF THE LARGEST ON
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AND- IT IS
SOMEONE WHO HAS- IT WAS FORCIBLY
SUBJECTED TO TREATMENT TO AS
WITH LIVE EXPERIENCE. ARIENS OF
THE CHALLENGES OF SUBSTANCE
THIS. AB SIXTY LIKE IT'S
PREVIOUS VERSION BLURS THE LINE
BETWEEN KAREN PUNISHMENT
CRIMINALIZES PEOPLE FOR THEIR
ILLNESS AND DANGEROUSLY
UNDERMINES OVERDOSE PREVENTION
AND RECOVERY. THIS PROPOSAL IS
NOT NEW IT'S BEEN TRIED BEFORE
IN CALIFORNIA AND ELSEWHERE AND
FAILED. I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS A
DALY IV DRUG USER FOR EIGHTEEN
YEARS. I WAS ARRESTED EIGHT
TIMES WAS INCARCERATED OVERALL
FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. AND FORCED
AN INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT THREE
TIMES HOSPITALIZED MORE THAN
TWENTY. THE CHOICE BETWEEN
INCARCERATION- TREATMENTS ALWAYS
COERCIVE IT DAMAGES THE PATIENT
PROVIDER RELATIONSHIP AND ONLY
TAUGHT ME HOW TO HIDE AND
MAINTAIN MY USE THE STRONG AND
ISOLATION LED ME TO OVERDOSES
AND I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. THE
PUBLIC HEALTH CIRCLES COURSE OF
TREATMENT IS WIDELY CRITICIZED
AND REJECTED FOR ITS LACK OF
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICES INSTEAD
THESE PROGRAMS RESULT IN A HIGH
AND RAPID RATES OF RETURN TO USE
AND INCREASED OVERDOSE OVERDOSE
DEATHS AND SUICIDE RATES FOR
PARTICIPANTS. THIS IS NOT JUST
THE WORST THAT CAN HAPPEN THAT'S
WHAT DOES HAPPEN. LOOK NO
FURTHER THAN SAN FRANCISCO WHICH
HAS EXPERIENCED RECORD OVER THE
STATS FOR FIVE OF THE PAST SIX
MONTHS THIS COINCIDES WITH THE
INCREASED ENFORCEMENT MEASURES
AND COURSE TREATMENT PEOPLE WHO
USE DRUGS. THE MODEL PROPOSED IN
AB THIRTEEN SIXTY IS INCREDIBLY
DANGEROUS AND DEADLY AND THERE'S
NO SCHOLARSHIP THAT SUPPORTS
THIS APPROACH. FORCING PEOPLE
INTO A SYSTEM THAT CANNOT
ACCOMMODATE THEM WILL NOT SOLVE
THE OVERDOSE CRISIS. AND
PRETENDING OTHERWISE IS
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE AND RECKLESS
KNOWING THIS WE OPPOSE AB
THIRTEEN SIXTY AND WE
RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU TO VOTE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CAN WE
HAVE OTHER OPPOSITION WITNESSES
STATE YOUR NAME YOUR ORGAN THAT
YOU OPPOSE- YEAH. ARE YOU LEAD
WITNESS YES PLEASE OKAY GET TWO
MINUTES. GOOD MORNING AGAIN

DIRECTOR GOVERNMENT IF AND HE'S
YOU CAN ACTION. AND ALONG OTHERS
AND OPPOSITION. THE SIX.
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION THIS IS
NOT A DEFENSE USE OF PUBLIC
DOLLARS BECAUSE AN EFFECTIVE
PUBLIC SAFETY APPROACH WOULD NOT
RECREATE CARCERAL SETTINGS AND
FOCUS ON PREVENTION THROUGH
VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION. I HAVE.
ENJOYED CONVERSATION WITH THE
OFFER THIS BILL AND SO
APPRECIATE THAT HE HAS THE BEST
INTENTIONS BUT AB THIRTEEN SIXTY
IS MISGUIDED IT WILL MONOPOLIZE
LIMITED GOVERNMENT RESOURCES
THAT COULD BE BETTER INVESTED IN
PREVENTING FUTURE CRIME. AND
VICTIMIZATION BY INCREASING
CAPACITY AND AVAILABILITY
INVOLUNTARY SERVICES IN THE
COMMUNITY. RESEARCH PROVES THAT
EVERY DOLLAR SPENT ON SUBSTANCE
ABUSE TREATMENT THANKS FOR
DOLLARS AND HEALTHCARE COSTS
SEVEN DOLLARS IN LAW ENFORCEMENT
AND OTHER CRIMINAL JUSTICE COSTS
BECAUSE REDUCE COSTS OF CRIME.
AND INCREASED EMPLOYMENT
EARNINGS. AB THIRTEEN SIXTY DOES
NOT REDUCE CRIME FOR ITS RELATED
COSTS. RATHER THIS BILL WILL
RESULT IN ADDITIONAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT COSTS SUCH AS THE
SALARIES OF COUNTY PROBATION
OFFICERS WHICH RANGE PUBLICLY
FROM ABOUT SEVEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO FOURTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS A MONTH. THIS MONEY
WOULD LIKELY TAKE THE LION'S
SHARE OF ANY FUNDING ALLOCATED
TO THIS PROGRAM. FUNDING THAT
COULD AND SHOULD BE GOING TO
TREATMENT PROVIDERS. ABOUT THE
BETTER USE OF RESOURCES AS AS
GARY JUST TESTIFIED A POLICY
APPROACH TO EXPAND ACCESS TO
EVIDENCE BASED VOLUNTARY
SUBSIDIES DISORDER TREATMENT AND
HARM REDUCTION SERVICES.
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND
ACCESS TO HEALTH AND SOCIAL
SERVICES WE CONTINUE TO BELIEVE
THAT AB THIRTEEN SIXTY IS
PREMISED ON THE FLAWED NOTION
THAT INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT IS
EFFECTIVE AND DESIRABLE. BUT THE
RESEARCH SHOWS OTHERWISE IT CAN
DAMAGE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE TREATMENT PROVIDER AND
RECIPIENT FURTHER TRAUMATIZING
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE OFTEN
EXPERIENCE SEVERE HARDSHIP.
DIMINISHING THE LIKELIHOOD OF A
SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES AS WELL AS
ENGAGEMENT AND FUTURE HEALTH
SERVICES. REQUIRING PEOPLE
RECEIVED INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT
IN A SECURED RESIDENTIAL
SETTING. ONLY EXACERBATE HARMS.
OFFERING READILY ACCESSIBLE
EVIDENCE BASED TREATMENT PRETTY

OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE
FOLLOWED BY ZERO POINT THIRTY
ONE GO AHEAD. JEFF MEAL ON
BEHALF OF YOUR LOCAL COUNTY IN
SUPPORT. THERE ARE NO OTHER
PARTICIPANTS QUEUED UP THANK YOU
ALL MOVE THE CONVERSATION TO
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE SENATOR
WROTE. WIENER HE. I THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR AND- I THANK YOU TO
THE AUTHOR AND THANK YOU MISTER
REQUIRE YOU- AND REALLY A GREAT
COMMUNITY LEADER AND- SAN
FRANCISCO- SO LAST YEAR WHEN
THEY SPOKE I CAME TO US WE
WORKED INTENSIVELY WITH THE
AUTHOR AND PRO SERIES OF MANAGED
TO REALLY NARROW. NARROW THE
FOCUS OF THE BILL AND PUT SOME
REAL GUARDRAILS ON A AND- THIS
IS ANDERSON MEMBERS ALL REMAIN
IN THIS NEW VERSION OF THE BILL
AND SO I SUPPORT THAT VERSION OF
THE BILL LAST YEAR AND ALL.
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THIS YEAR-
YOU KNOW AND I'VE AS EXPRESS
LAST YEAR I HAVE SOME
TREPIDATION ABOUT THE BILL BUT I
ALSO GOING TO ALLOW THESE
COMPANIES TO- TRY. THIS APPROACH
AND I THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR FOLKS WATCHING TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THIS
ONLY APPLIES IN A SITUATION
WHERE SOMEONE HAS BEEN CONVICTED
OF A FELONY. AND IS SUBJECT TO
INCARCERATION AND THEN IS GIVEN
A CHOICE YOU CAN JUST DO YOUR
WHATEVER YOUR REGULAR. SIGN SAYS
AND- RECEIVE OR YOU CAN HAVE
THIS OTHER. OPTION AND SO DOT
WHY I'M I'M COMFORTABLE ON
SUPPORTING- THE BILL- IF THIS
WAS. YOU KNOW NOT A SITUATION
WHERE WHERE THE PERSON. HAD BEEN
CAN OF THE SERVICE OF COURSE
VERY I WOULD. OBVIOUSLY MUCH HAS
TO- SUPPORTED- AND BIG PICTURE-
WE HAVE SOLD DRAMATICALLY FAILED
TO IN TERMS OF ADDICTION IN THIS
COUNTRY. WE DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH
TREATMENT SLOTS AND I TOTALLY
AGREE OF INVOLUNTARY TREATMENT.
IS ABSOLUTELY THE MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY FOR SOMEONE. TO ADDRESS
THEIR- ADDICTION THERE'S NO
DOUBT ABOUT IT- THERE ARE- WE DO
NOT HAVE ENOUGH TREATMENT SLOTS
TO NOT ENOUGH. BEDS AND SO ON
AND SO FORTH AND WE NEED TO
DRAMATICALLY. EXPAND THAT
CAPACITY THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
ARE ADDICTED TO WANT TO GET HELP
AND ARE NOT ABLE TO GET HELP
THERE WAS JUST. A NEW MEGA STUDY
OF FOLKS WHO ARE HOMELESS OUR
COMMUNITY YOU SEE US US I
BELIEVE LAST NIGHT- THIS
MORNING- THAT AS WE ALREADY KNEW
ABOUT IT ONE- FOLKS ARE HOMELESS
HAVE A SUBSTANCE USE- PROBLEM.
AND NOT ALL OF THEM BUT I THINK
MAYBE A THIRD OF THEM. ARE I'VE
TRIED TO GET TREATMENT AND
FALCONS ARE NOT SLOTS SO THAT'S
THE FUNDAMENTAL. SOLUTION AND
LIKE I SAID I DO HAVE SOME
APPREHENSION HERE BUT I AM-
COMFORTABLE GIVEN THE
CONSTRAINTS ON THIS BILL THESE
ARE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED OF A FELONY AND ARE
SUBJECT TO INCARCERATION-
UNCOMFORTABLE. ARE SUPPORTING
THIS TODAY THANK YOU SENATOR. TO
BOOK- I HAVE TO GO THE COMMENTS
MADE BY COLLEAGUE FROM CENTER. I
A- ON MANY OF THE AT THE COMING
MADE IN A TO I WANT TO. THAT
WERE THE CASE ARE SO OF THE
BECAUSE THAT HEARD. ARE LOCALLY
FOR MY JUST IS THAT AN OLD. WHEN
SOME MAKES A CONSCIOUS OF
GETTING TO. IS MOST EFFECTIVE-
THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT I
THINK THE CHALLENGES WE FACE ARE
THE ONES THAT WERE REGION-
PRIOR- BY MY COLLEAGUE RENDITION
WE DON'T HAVE. WITH CALLING AND
WHAT I'VE HEARD FROM POLITICS
DON'T HAVE A HUG SOMETIMES.
WHERE THEY CAN AND INDEED TO
ACTUALLY SEEK TREATMENT AND SO I
THINK- ONE YOU KNOW THAT THIS IS
A PILOT PROGRAM NUMBER TWO THAT
IT DOES ACTUALLY PROVIDE SOME
SORT OF HOOK. FOR FOR
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED TO BE COMPELLED TO
SEEK TREATMENT IN A FASTER RATE
CAN BE PROVIDED SO- I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THAT THE BILL- TODAY. N.
AS IN MEMBER- I DO JUST WANNA.
YOU BRING THIS BILL FOR IT I
THINK THAT SEEN A CRISIS. MANY
PEOPLE ABOUT PEOPLE OF THE
OPINIONS- WE ALSO- THE PUBLIC-
SOME SOME TYPE OF ACTION IT IS
VERY NARROW IN SCOPE I THINK
THAT SENATOR WIENER-
SPECIFICALLY HIGHLIGHTED SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT. YOU KNOW WE
HAVE TO TRY IF YOU WILL- TO THE
FOR THE FOLKS THAT ARE OPPOSING
THIS BILL I COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND- SOME CONCERNS AND
OBVIOUSLY THE EVIDENCE BASED
PRACTICE OF YOU KNOW. SELF
SELECTING TREATMENT IS THE
PRIORITY- BUT AT THE SAME TIME I
THINK SENATOR- TO BOOK SENATE
AND WE DO NEED A HOOK- IT'S THE
CRISIS IS GETTING OUT OF CONTROL
WE HAVE ALSO TALKED TO EXPERTS-
PERSONALLY. THAT SOMETIMES THAT
INDIVIDUAL CANNOT MAKE THE
DECISION FOR THEMSELVES AND SO
IF WE CAN KIND OF GET THEM TO
LOOSE ITS STATE AND HE- YOU KNOW
FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE OFTEN
COMPLAINED THAT THEY CAN'T.
COMPEL THEIR LOVED ONE TO
TREATMENT RATE AND SO SOMETIMES-
PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR A HIGHER
AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO PUSH
THEM INTO TREATMENT AND-
SOMETIMES IT'S A POSITIVE THING
AND- SOMETIMES IT'S NOT BUT WE
ALWAYS HAVE TO CONTINUE TO TRY
SO. I DO APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING
THIS FORWARD- DO I. HAVE ANY
CLOSING COMMENTS FROM. YES THAT
YOU KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FIRST
TIME IT'S THE THIRD TIME THE
THIRD TIME'S A CHARM RIGHT- THIS
ISSUE HAS NOT GONE AWAY SINCE
THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT THIS
UP. AND IT'S ONLY GOTTEN WORSE
AND ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES WE
NEED. NOVEL APPROACHES- I WOULD
SAY THAT WE TOOK FIFTY
AMENDMENTS IN THE LAST COUPLE
YEARS ON THIS MEASURE FIVE OF.
THE TEN OF THEM WERE THE- WELL I
THINK WIENER AMENDMENTS WHICH
ARE STILL. IN THIS BILL SO WE'VE
LISTENED TO THE OPPOSITION BUT
THERE'S JUST A FUNDAMENTAL
DISAGREEMENT ON ON THE FACTS
HERE I MEAN I RESPECT THEIR
THEIR PHILOSOPHIES BUT- THE
FACTS ARE JUST NOT ACTUALLY.
PORTRAYED HERE- WE'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE
COMMUNITIES OF PEOPLE AS A
SENATOR SAID WHO HAVE BEEN
SENTENCED TO. A FELONY AND WE DO
EXEMPTS CERTAIN FELONIES- YOU
KNOW THIRD STRIKE SEX CRIMES DO
YOU AYE SO THOSE AREN'T PART OF
THEIR BUT- WE GIVE A
HYPOTHETICAL SOMEONE IS
ARRESTED. AND SENTENCED FOR A
BURGLARY FOR STEALING- OVER AND
IN THIS TO FEED THEIR ADDICTION.
THEY'RE SENTENCED TO. THREE
YEARS. IN NEW FOLSOM PRISON. AND
THE REALITY IS THERE DOING THESE
CRIMES TO FEED. AN ADDICT. AFTER
THEIR SENTENCE. THEY CAN SAY HEY
INDIVIDUAL- WOULD YOU LIKE TO
GET TREATMENT AS OPPOSED TO JUST
SITTING FALL SOME FOR THREE
YEARS. AND IF YOU GET TREATMENT-
WE CAN- WE CAN WE CAN EXPUNGED.
FROM YOUR RECORD YOU CAN SERVE
FEWER- MONTHS THAT WAS PART OF
SENATOR WIENER'S PROPOSAL TWO
YEARS AGO THEN YOU'RE UNDERLYING
OPPORTUNITY. SERVING IN THE
STATE PRISON AND YOU CAN SERVE
CAN YOU CAN ADDRESS YOUR
ADDICTIONS SO IT'S A CHOICE THEY
CAN SAY NO AND STILL GO- AND-
AGAIN. AT THAT TO LET ME
UNDERSTAND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST
THIS BASED UPON THE ACTUAL FACTS
PRESENTED TO US- THIS IS A PILOT
IN TWO COUNTIES HERE AND YOU'LL
UP. FOR FIVE YEARS ALLOWING US
TO SEE IF THIS MAKES A
DIFFERENCE BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
THE STATUS QUO. IS NOT WORKING
IN OUR COMMUNITY CENTER FOR THAT
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR APP THANK
YOU TO HAVE A MOTION- SENATORS.
HAS MOVED THE BILL. AB THIRTEEN
SIX WASHES THE PAST HEALTH CARE
. BOB HI BOB I WHICH OVERLOOKED
I THOUGHT ABOUT AYE BRADFORD.
SKINNER WIENER. WIENER AYE.
THANK YOU. WILL MOVE ON TO A
BEFORE SAY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER- YES
OR. ANOTHER CLEAR RIGHT.
OKAY I THINK THIS IS A MUCH MORE
SIMPLE BILL- THIS BILL FINE BY
THE- OF- BY PART MEASURE YOU
NASA. OVER IN THE- IT GIVES THE
PER JUST IN THIS THIRTY DAYS TO
NOTIFY A FIREARM DEALER DEALER.
ABOUT THE LEGAL ELIGIBILITY FOR
SOMEONE TO POSSESS A GUN. THAT
FIREARM- DURING THE- BACKGROUND
CHECKS- THIS IS THAT THE DOJ IT
REALLY TECHNICAL FIX AND WITH ME
TODAY IS THE DEPARTMENT JUSTICE
. TO GO OVER THERE RATIONALE
THANK YOU. YEAH- CENTER. MY NAME
IS CANDACE CHONG I'M ADDICTED
ATTORNEY WITH THE OFFICE OF
GENERAL ROBERT WHOSE PRIME SPOT
THIS. LIKE THE THANK ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FOR AUTHORING THIS BILL
WHICH WILL PROVIDE THE DOJ WITH
THE NECESSARY FLEXIBILITY TO
ENSURE THAT NO FIREARMS ARE
RELEASED WITHOUT A BACKGROUND
CHECK BEING COMPLETED FIRST.
EARLY THE DOJ MISCONDUCT A
BACKGROUND CHECK ON ON FIRE
BUYER AND REPORT ITS FINDINGS TO
THE DEALER THE TEN DAY WAITING
PERIOD FOR GUN TRANSFERS.
BACKGROUND CHECKS ARE NOT A
SIMPLE JUST PUTTING A NAME IN
THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND HAVING
SPENT ON ANSWER ANY BE CROSS
CHECKED AGAINST DIFFERENT
SYSTEMS BECAUSE IT'S A NAME
BASIS AND WE HAVE TO VERIFY THAT
INFORMATION IS ABOUT THE CORRECT
PERSON. SO OFTEN TIMES WERE AT
THE MERCY OF COURTS TREATMENT
FACILITIES U. S. MILITARY TO GET
ADDITIONAL RECORDS THAT ARE
NECESSARY TO RESOLVE ANY
QUESTIONS THAT ARISE IN A
BACKGROUND CHECK. THIS BILL
WOULD EXTEND THAT KERR THE
CURRENT TEN DAY LIMIT FOR
COMPLETING BACKGROUND CHECKS TO
UP TO THIRTY DAYS. IN THE CASE
OF A MAJOR EMERGENCY THAT
HAMPERS THE DOJ'S ABILITY TO DO
THE WORK. SUCH OVERSEAS INCLUDE
LIKE SUCH AS THE COPING NINETEEN
PANDEMIC WHICH WAS WHICH
HIGHLIGHTED THE NEED FOR THIS
LEGISLATIVE FIX. OR A LARGE
SCALE COMPUTER BREACH SUCH AS
THE ONE THAT. THAT JUST RECENTLY
HIT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THE
UNFORTUNATE. A RECENT RULING.
FOUND THAT LIKE EXISTING LAW DID
NOT. ANY APPLY EXCEPTION FORMER
. REGARDLESS OF THE MAGNITUDE
JUSTIFIED. BUT THAT RULING WAS
NOT BASED ON THE EQUITIES AND
CIRCUMSTANCES INSTEAD IT FOCUSED
ON STRICT INTERPRETATION OF THE
STATUTE. WHICH THE JUDGE.
BASICALLY HELD THAT THE STATUTE
DID ONLY STATED THREE SPECIFIC
REASONS FOR DELAYING A FIREARM
TRANSFER GOOD BECAUSE NOT BEING
ONE OF THEM. AND IF THE
LEGISLATURE HAD INTENDED TO BE
MORE EXPENSIVE IT COULD HAVE
DONE SO. BUT WHEN THE STATUE WAS
DRAFTED WHEN THE LEGISLATURE
DRESSED TO THE STATURE IT DID
NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE
POSSIBILITY OF A VIRAL PANDEMIC.
THAT ALL BUT SHUT DOWN THE WORLD
IT DIDN'T TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.
THAT WE BE FACING UNPRECEDENTED
STREAM WEATHER EVENTS OR GLOBAL
CYBER ATTACKS. EMILY HOPE THAT
NOTHING LIKE THIS EVER HAPPENS
AGAIN IN THE FUTURE WE NEED TO
BE PREPARED FOR THIS. EIGHTY
FOUR TWO NINE SIX ONE SURE THAT
GUNS ARE ONLY TRANSFER TO VETTED
LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. BY
PROVIDING THE DOJ WITH
ADDITIONAL TIME. TO COMPLETE
EVERY COMPLETE BACKGROUND
CHECKS. DURING AN EMERGENCY WHAT
PRESERVING THE RIGHTS OF
FIREARMS OWNERS TO TAKE
POSSESSION OF THE GUNS WITHIN A
REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. THANK
YOU. WILL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT
WITNESS- DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES ARE USUALLY HAD ONE
LEAD WITH THIS. ONE ALL RIGHT-
WILL MOVE ON TO JUST ME TO NAME
FOR A TWO GOING BACK TO SELL
BAKER CENTER FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
PAYING YOU. WILL MOVE ON TO LEAD
A- YOU TWO MINUTES. BETTINGER
MEMBERSHIP REFER. OVER CAL
NATIONAL OFFICIALS. AND THE
CALIFORNIA RIFLING THROUGH SO. I
THAT THE- APPEAR OF THIS. IS A
GOOD THING IN THAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
TO DO THEIR JOB SOMETHING THAT
THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF DOING
RIGHT NOW AND ARE NOT DOING WE
RECEIVED HUNDREDS OF PHONE
CALLS. ON A MONTHLY BASIS BUT
PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECEIVED
UNDETERMINED. DESIGNATIONS THIS
IS THIRTY DAYS AFTER THEY JUST
PURCHASED THE GUN. THEY GET
DENIED THEY GO ON TRYING TO BUY
AMMUNITION A COUPLE OF DAYS
LATER AND THEN THEY RECEIVE IT.
WE DON'T HAVE THAT NO ONE CAN
EXPLAIN AND YOU CANNOT TALK TO
ANYBODY AT THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE TO GET- THESE THINGS
CLARIFIED. THE REQUIREMENT FOR
THE DOJ TO NOTIFY PURCHASERS
ABOUT ANY ISSUES THEY MIGHT
HAVE. IS A REALLY GOOD THING
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW. NOTHING
HAPPENS EXCEPT THEY RECEIVE A AN
UNDETERMINED DESIGNATION. SO-
THE WAY IT APPEARS TO US. FROM
THE OUTSIDE WILL BE LOOKING AT
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND
THE WAY IT OPERATES IT'S
PROGRAMS IS THAT. THIS IS GIVING
THEM AN- EXCUSE AND RELIEF FROM
THE THIRTY DAY REQUIREMENT. BUT
I AM VERY CONFIDENT THAT VERY
LITTLE ELSE IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
THAT THE REMOVAL OF THAT
PRESSURE FOR THEM TO DEAL WITH
THOSE THESE ISSUES ON A TIMELY
BASIS. WILL JUST MEAN THAT THERE
WILL BE NO DEADLINE. WE'VE
TALKED TO. ON OCCASION PEOPLE
WHO'VE WORKED AT THE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE AND THEY TELL US.
THAT THERE ARE SOME CASES WHERE
A COURT. NO LONGER HAS THE
RECORDS AND DOJ SAYS. OKAY DONE
YOUR UNDETERMINED YOU'RE NEVER
GONNA BE ABLE TO GET A GUN
BASICALLY. BY DENYING THE
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS OF THIS FARM
. WE NEED HAVE A SINCERE EFFORT
ON THE PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE TO FIGURE OUT TIME WHAT
THEY'RE- THANK YOU. WE ARE IN
OPPOSITION OF THIS BILL I
APPRECIATE YOU GIVING US THE
OPPORTUNITY THANK YOU- ANY OTHER
OPPOSITION WITNESSES SAYING NON
MODERATOR PLEASE FROM THE FIRST
INDIVIDUAL WAITING TO TESTIFY
VIA TELECONFERENCE. PLEASE PRESS
ONE AND ZERO IF YOU WISH TO
SUPPORT ALL HAVE OPPOSITION THIS
BILL. AND WE HAVE NO ARTISTIC
DISCUSSION. THANK YOU WILL MOVE
ON TO COMMENTS BY MEMBERS
COMMITTEE MEMBER SENATOR WHICH-
VOGUE. FOR SO I'M- A COUPLE OF
THINGS CAME TO MY AS I WAS
HEARING THE TESTIMONY FROM BOTH
SIDES I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.
THE EXTENT NEEDED FOR THE TIME
TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE- THE- WE
WILL SERVE AT. INDIVIDUALS
COMING INTO LAWFULLY ACQUIRE-
GUNS OR AMMUNITION. THE CONCERNS
OF- A MENTION BY THE OPPOSITION
WITH REGARDS TO THE DELAYS- I
WOULD LIKE TO AND I'M NOT SURE
IF THIS THROUGH THIS YEAR IF
THIS WOULD BE AN APPROPRIATE
QUESTION FOR THE AUTHOR OR FOR
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE BUT-
WHAT IS. THE CAUSES OF THE
DELAYS WENT WHAT IS. THAT ON A
STANDARD. THE STANDARD TIME OF
BEING WHAT ARE THE OF THE-
NUMBER TWO I CAN UNDERSTAND
DURING THE- EXTREME WEATHER
EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES AND YOU
KNOW HAVING DELAYS THAT. NOTION
BUT FOLLOW THAT THE OTHER
QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS THAT-
DURING TIMES HIM. THOSE ARE
SOMETIMES THE TIMES WHEN PEOPLE
FEEL VERY UNSAFE. AND PUBLIC
SAFETY IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE
BECAUSE- IF THEIR EXHAUSTING THE
RESOURCES IN CERTAIN AREAS. SO
THERE WOULD BE A TIME WHEN
PEOPLE OR INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE
COMPELLED TO SEEK OUT- ACQUIRING
A GUN OR AMMUNITION TO PROTECT
THEIR FAMILIES THEIR HOME AND
THEIR FAMILIES SO THOSE AND-
THAT'S THAT'S SOME OF IT THE
CONCERNS THAT I WOULD HAVE ABOUT
HAVING THE DELAYS DURING
EMERGENCY. PERIODS OF TIME I
HAVE AS WE HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST
SO THOSE TWO ITEMS I WOULD LOVE
TO HEAR SOME COMMENTS AND-
THOUGHTS. FROM THROUGH THE CHAIR
FOR EITHER THE AUTHOR OR THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CAN YOU ADDRESS ANY OF
YOUR QUESTIONS YEAH THANK YOU
JUST BRIEFLY- I THINK IN GENERAL
I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT THAN BE
QUICK AND SO- WE LEARNED DURING
THAT THAT THE PANDEMIC THAT WE
DIDN'T HAVE. ENOUGH TIME BECAUSE
OF THAT INCIDENT INCIDENT-
THERE'S OTHER UNFORTUNATELY IN
CALIFORNIA NATURAL- EMERGENCIES-
THE WEATHER FLOODS FIRES.
EARTHQUAKES ONE DAY- AND SO. WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A
SYSTEM PLACE THAT WORKS OF THE
TERM JUSTICE CAN ADEQUATELY TO
THEIR TO THEIR JOB- THE GIPSON
EXAMPLES WE COULD BRING THEM UP
AND THEY GET A KIND OF BUT MORE
ABOUT THAT. PLEASE BRIEF SURE
ALISON MENDOZA YOUR DIRECTOR OF
THE BUREAU OF FIRE- USUALLY WHEN
IS LATEST BECAUSE WE NEED TO
CONFIRM DISPOSITION OF AN
ARREST- WE NEED TO CHECK COURT
RECORDS TO MAKE SURE WED TO-
THAT'LL COME ACTUALLY WAS TO
DETERMINE WHETHER THE PERSON IS
PROHIBITED FROM FIREARM OR NOT.
LESS THAN 4% OF TRANSACTIONS ARE
ACTUALLY DELAYED SO IT'S A VERY
SMALL AMOUNT OF THE TRANSACTIONS
BUT WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE ONLY APPROVING THOSE THAT
ARE ACTUALLY. YOU KNOW ALLOWED
LEGALLY TO HAVE A FIREARM. DOES
THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SO IT
JUST SO IS IT. IS IT USUALLY
DELAYS ARE THEY USUALLY BECAUSE
BECAUSE OF THE TECHNOLOGY WE
DON'T HAVE IN PLACE TO EXPEDITE
THE CROSS CHECKS OR IS THAT- THE
LABOR THAT- THAT YOU FOLKS NEED
MORE AT. MORE INDIVIDUALS HIRED
ON TO BE ABLE TO DO THE WORK IN
QUESTION ASKING IS IT A BACKLOG
OF. OF WORK OR IS A TECHNOLOGY
THAT WE DON'T HAVE IN PLACE TO
BE ABLE TO DO THE WORK THE CROSS
CHECKS. IT'S MISSING INFORMATION
THAT HAS NEVER BEEN- INPUT INTO
THE SYSTEM SO- IF- DISPOSITION
OF AN ARREST HASN'T BEEN ENTERED
INTO AND DEPARTMENT JUSTICE
SYSTEMS. WE NEED ANALYSTS THAT
CAN REACH OUT TO THE COURTS
REACH OUT TO THE DA'S REACH OUT
TO MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES. I
REACH OUT TO MILITARY TO FIND
OUT YOU KNOW WHETHER SOMEBODY
WAS HONORABLY DISCHARGED OR NOT
IT'S FINDING ALL THOSE FACTS AND
REACHING OUT TO VARIOUS ENTITIES
AND WAITING ON THEM TO RESPOND
WITH THE INFORMATION NECESSARY.
SO IT'S IF OUR SYSTEMS DON'T
HAVE THE INFORMATION WE HAVE TO
CHASE OUT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
ANY OTHER OR COMMENTS. SEE NON-
WOULD YOU LIKE. YES THEY GOT
ALSO LIKE TO THE YOU IN YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFFER WITH US ACCEPT

CHAIR AND- ASSEMBLY BILL. FOUR

SUNSET EXTENSION ARE REMOTE.
ADULT CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS
AND PUTS IN PLACE ADDITIONAL
SAFEGUARDS THAT PROTECT THE
ACCUSED AND PRESERVE THE
INTEGRITY OF THE COURT. DURING
THE COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC
TRIAL COURTS HAD NO OPTION BUT
TO INSTITUTE REMOTE PROCEEDINGS
IN ORDER TO PROCESS CASES. WHAT
REMOTE PROCEEDINGS PROVED
BENEFICIAL TO THE OPERATION THE
COURTS EXPERIENCE SHOWED THAT
WITHOUT MEANINGFUL SAFEGUARDS
REMOTE TECHNOLOGY CAN
COMPROMISE. CALIFORNIA'S JUSTICE
SYSTEM AB TWELVE FOURTEEN OF
CORPORATES LESSONS LEARNED OVER
THE LAST THREE YEARS. BY
SABOTAGING THOUGHTFUL PROCEDURAL
AND TECHNOLOGICAL GUIDELINES FOR
THE USE OF REMOTE TECHNOLOGY.
THE BILL PROHIBITS THE USE OF
REMOTE TECHNOLOGY IN JURY TRIALS
BUT WOULD ALLOW DEFENDANTS TO
APPEAR REMOTELY IF THEY SEARCHES
FOR NON CRITICAL PORTIONS OF THE
TRIAL WERE NO TESTIMONY IS BEING
TAKEN. IF THE DEFENDANT CHOOSES
TO BE PRESENT THE COURT ROOM THE
BILL REQUIRES COUNCIL THE
PROSECUTION AND THE JUDGE TO BE
PRESENT AS WELL. TO ENSURE THE
INTEGRITY OF THE DJIA JUDICIAL
SYSTEM AND ACCURACY OF COURT
RECORDS THE BILL PROHIBITS THE
USE OF REMOTE PROCEEDINGS IF
THERE ARE TECHNOLOGICAL
DEFICIENCIES. AB TWELVE FOURTEEN
IS A MEASURED APPROACH TO EXTEND
REMOTE CRIMINAL COURT
PROCEEDINGS WE'VE HAD PRODUCTIVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
OPPOSITION I LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS AS THE BILL
MOVES FORWARD. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE AND WITH
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT-
LESLIE HOUSTON THE FORMER CHIEF
PUBLIC DEFENDER SOLANO COUNTY.
AND SAND AT BORRERO AT WITH
SEIU. THANK YOU YOU'LL HAVE TWO
MINUTES. GOOD MORNING LESLIE
CALL HUGHES FOR THE- PUBLIC TO
ASSOCIATION. HELP PROBE CO
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL IN
SUPPORT. REMOTE PROCEEDINGS CAN
BE BENEFICIAL FOR CRIMINAL
PROCEEDINGS BUT ONLY IF THEY'RE
APPROPRIATE GUARD RAILS ARE IN
PLACE TO PROTECT THE
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE
ACCUSED. AND THE INTEGRITY OF
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE. SYSTEM AB
TWELVE FOURTEEN PROVIDES THESE
GUARD RAILS FOR THE PAST THREE
YEARS THE COURTS OPERATED
REMOTELY UNDER COVERED EMERGENCY
RULES. AND THEN LAST YEAR'S
TRAILER BILL WE WELCOME THE NEW
RULES EARLY ON BECAUSE OUR
COLLEAGUES AND OUR CLIENTS WERE
DYING FROM GOVAN. HOWEVER IT IS
BECOME. CLEAR THAT THERE ARE
CRITICAL PROBLEMS WITH REMOTE
PROCEEDINGS AS THEY ARE GOING
ON. SOME OF THE ISSUES WE'VE
EXPERIENCED ARE SOME DEFENDANTS
WERE DENIED THE RIGHT TO APPEAR
IN PERSON WITNESSES THROUGHOUT
THE STATE OF TESTIFIED FROM
THEIR CARS ARE UNDER IN
APPROPRIATE LOCATIONS. MAKING IT
IMPOSSIBLE TO PROPERLY CROSS
EXAMINED OR CONFRONT THE
WITNESSES OR TO ASSESS THEIR
CREDIBILITY. HACKERS HAVEN'T
INFILTRATED REMOTE PROCEEDINGS
IN MANY LOCALES MASQUERADING AS
LAWYERS ARE COURT REPORTERS. AND
MANY COURT REPORTERS OF TOLD
THEIR JUDICIAL OFFICERS OR
SUPERVISORS THAT THEY COULD NOT
ACCURATELY TRANSCRIBE THE REMOTE
PROCEEDINGS BUT THEY WERE
IGNORED OR FACED RETALIATION.
ACCESS TO TECH IS INEQUITABLE WE
SAW THIS ALL TOO CLEAR IN THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM WHEN THE
SCHOOL'S WENT REMOTE THE CLIPS
OF CHILDREN SITTING ON A CURB
OUTSIDE MCDONALD'S TO HAVE WIFI
ACT. WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN THE
DESPERATE SEARCH FOR COMPUTERS
FOR CHILDREN WAS APPARENT IT IS
NO DIFFERENT FOR CRIMINAL
DEFENDANTS AND MANY OF THEIR
WITNESSES. COURT PROCEEDINGS OF
THE FOUNDATIONS OF OUR LEGAL
SYSTEM DUE PROCESS CONCERNS AND
TECHNOLOGICAL LIMITATIONS
REQUIRE MEANINGFUL SAFEGUARDS TO
ENSURE FUNDAMENTAL FAIRNESS. AB
TWELVE FOURTEEN EXTENDS THE
ABILITY TO HAVE HEARINGS
REMOTELY WHILE PROVIDING THE
SAFEGUARDS WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS
CRITICAL WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR VOTE THANK YOU- NEXT WEEK-
YOU'LL HAVE TWO MINUTES. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS AND
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MAIENSCHEIN SANDRA BARRERA ON
BEHALF OF SEIU CALIFORNIA WE ARE
CO SPONSORS OF THIS BILL. NOW
THE PANDEMIC IS OVER THERE'S NO
NEED TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT
CHOICE BETWEEN RISKING EXPOSURE
OR COMPROMISING THE INTEGRITY OF
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM THE EXISTING
STATUTE WAS ONLY INTENDED TO
COVER US THROUGH AN EMERGENCY IT
WASN'T INTENDED TO LAST POST
PANDEMIC. BUT OVER THE LAST
THREE YEARS WE FOUND THAT REMOTE
CAN BENEFIT THE COURT AND COURT
USERS. BUT WE ALSO LEARNED THAT
THE INHERENT UNRELIABILITY OF
TECHNOLOGY REQUIRES THAT. SOME
PROCEEDINGS ARE DONE IN PERSON
BECAUSE WHEN THE STAKES ARE LIFE
ALTERING. IT POSES TO MUCH OF A
RISK CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS ENTAIL
GRAVE CONSEQUENCES THAT YOU
REVERSIBLY IMPACT THE LIVES OF
VICTIMS AND THE ACCUSED. ONE ONE
WORD CAN STRIP AWAY SOMEONE'S
LIBERTY OR ACCESS TO JUSTICE WE
CAN'T RISK DISRUPTIONS CAUSED BY
TECHNICAL TECHNICAL GLITCHES OR
INTERNET CONNECTIVITY. THESE
DISRUPTIONS TENDER AND THE
ABILITY TO ASSESS WITNESS
CREDIBILITY WHICH REQUIRE
NUANCED OBSERVATION OF SUBTLE
BEHAVIORS TO HELP DETERMINE THE
TRUTH. WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER
THAT REMOTE PROCEEDINGS ARE
VULNERABLE TO WITNESS TAMPERING
AND INTIMIDATION. ONE ONE WORD
CAN STRIP AWAY SOMEONE'S JUSTICE
LIBERTY OR CREDIBILITY WE MUST
CHOOSE THE MOST RELIABLE OPTION.
AND THAT OPTION HAS TO UPHOLD
THE PRINCIPLES OF FAIRNESS AND
ACCURACY AB TWELVE FOURTEEN
UPHOLD THESE PRINCIPLES WHILE
ALSO UTILIZING REMOTE IN A WAY
THAT BENEFITS OUR JUSTICE
SYSTEM. RESPECTFULLY REQUEST

MATT CHAIR AND- OF THE COUNCIL
TO LISA. SAN DIEGO SUPERIOR
COURT ADVISED OF THE COUNCIL'S
CRIMINAL LAW ADVISORY COMMITTEE
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO AB
TWELVE FOURTEEN WELL WE
APPRECIATE THE AUTHORED THE
SPONSORS EFFORTS TO ADDRESS OUR
CONCERNS THUS FAR. THE COUNCIL
SEEKING AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD
ALIGN AB TWELVE FOURTEEN WITH
EXISTING LAW FOR CRIMINAL REMOTE
PROCEEDINGS AS ENACTED LAST YEAR
BY AB NINETY ONE NINETY NINE
WHICH CURRENTLY ALLOWS FOR
MOBILE THE PARENTS IS ONLY WHAT
THE DEFENDANT'S CONSENT. THE
COUNCIL APPRECIATES AUTHOR'S
INTENTION TO EXTEND AUTHORITY
BEYOND JANUARY FIRST OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR BUT IS CONCERNED AS
CURRENTLY DRAFTED AB TWELVE
FOURTEEN WOULD DRASTICALLY
RESTRICT THE ABILITY OF
CONSENTING DEFENDED SPANNED
JUSTICE PARTNERS. TO USE THE
REMOTE OPTION AND MODIFIES
REMOTE PROCESSES THAT HAVE BEEN
ALREADY AVAILABLE FOR DECADES IN
SHORT WE'RE CONCERNED THAT THE
BILLS DRAFTED DENIES ACCESS TO
JUSTICE. WE'RE PARTICULARLY
CONCERNED THAT THE OVERLY BROAD
AND VAGUE RESTRICTIONS WILL
DISADVANTAGED DEFENDANTS THE
BILL PROHIBITS THE USE OF REMOTE
TECHNOLOGY EXCEPT FOR ANY NON
CRITICAL PORTION OF THE CRIMINAL
PROCEEDING. WHEN NO SWORN
TESTIMONY IS TAKEN. WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF HOUSE CAPE
HOUSEKEEPING TYPE MATTERS DURING
TRIAL WE'RE NOT AWARE OF ANY NON
CRITICAL PORTIONS OF A CRIMINAL
PROCEEDING AND DUE TO THE FLUID
NATURE OF KROLL PROCEEDINGS AND
THE VARIETY OF PRACTICES ACROSS
FIFTY EIGHT COUNTY COURTS.
THERE'S POTENTIAL FOR ANY
HEARING TO INVOLVE THE TAKING OF
SWORN TESTIMONY FROM
ARRAIGNMENTS TO CHANGE A PLEA TO
MOTIONS. AND OF SWORN TESTIMONY
COMES UP UNEXPECTEDLY DURING THE
REMOTE HEARING THE COURT WOULD
HAVE TO CONTINUE THE MATTER THIS
WOULD LARGELY BE TO THE
DETRIMENT OF THE DEFENDANT
DELAYING AND I'M LONG.
PROCEEDINGS ALSO HAS DRAFTED THE
LAW ONLY PERMITS IN CUSTODY
DEFENDANTS TO APPEAR REMOTELY
FOR ARRAIGNMENT. RESTRICTING OUT
OF CUSTODY DEFENDANTS FROM
UTILIZING THE SAME OPTION WHICH
WOULD IMPACT THE DEFENDANTS WHO
ARE OUT OF COUNTY OUT OF STATE
OR HAVING TO TRAVEL WERE AT
WORK. THE VAGUE. LANGUAGE COULD
LEAD ALSO TO THE LIMON ATION OF
REMOTE PERSON THAT HAVE BEEN
FROM FOR. A DECADE. VERY CLOSE
