IS ITEM ONE IN YOUR TENNIS
PLAYERS IMAGE. YEAH ALL RIGHT
GOOD MORNING MR TEAR SAID NICE
TO BE WITH YOU THIS MORNING-
THIS IS A WOMEN'S HEALTH BILL
AND WITH THIS BILL SIXTY TWO
YEARS ELIMINATE P. PHOSPHOR
MINSTREL PRODUCTS AS WE KNOW
THESE COUNTY COMPETITION GOING
TO SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS BREAST
AND OTHER CANCERS HORMONE
DISRUPTION KIDNEY AND LIVER
DAMAGE AND IMMUNE SYSTEM
DISRUPTION IN LIGHT OF THESE
FINDINGS CALIFORNIA HAS MOVED TO
ELIMINATE PEOPLE US FROM MANY
DIFFERENT- ITEMS AND PRODUCTS IN
THE MARKET. AND BUT EVEN WITH
ALL THIS PROGRESS DEVOS'S STILL
REMAINS. A PART OF OUR MOST
INTIMATE PRODUCTS WHICH ARE
MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS IN A RECENT
STUDY 48% OF PADS AND LINERS
TESTED WERE FOUND TO CONTAIN
PEOPLE ASK. AS WERE 22% OF
TAMPONS AB TWO FORTY SIX HAS TWO
MAIN COMPONENTS FIRST. IT WOULD
PROHIBIT ANY PERSON CALIFORNIA
FOR MANUFACTURING DISTRIBUTING
OR SELLING A MEASURE PRODUCT
THAT CONTAINS REGULATED P. FOSS
THE SECOND THING IT DOES IS IT
WILL PROHIBIT UNINTENTIONAL
ADDED P. FOSS. ABOVE TEN PARTS
PER MILLION BEGINNING IN TWENTY
TWENTY SEVEN- CALIFORNIA'S
PURSUIT FOR GENDER EQUALITY
REQUIRES US TO TAKE ACTION AND
ENSURE THE FEMININE HYGIENE
PRODUCTS ARE SAFE CLEAN AND FREE
FROM FOREVER CHEMICALS. SO WITH
ME TODAY IS JESSICA GEIGER. TO
TESTIFY IN FAVOR OF BILL. THANK
YOU GO MORNING JUST BECAUSE WITH
THE COW ASSOCIATION OF
SANITATION AGENCIES I WOULD NOW
THIS IS A HEALTH BILL BUT ALL
WHAT QUALITY BILL. AND YOU KNOW
STATEWIDE SOURCE CAN STRATEGY
LIKE WHAT IS PROPOSED IN THIS
ARE THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE
METHODS TO KEEP THE FAST OUT OF
OUR WASTE STREAM- INDENTURE
WATER QUALITY SO WE DO THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE
MOVING AWAY FROM THE
NONESSENTIAL USES OF. FASTING
CONSUMER PRODUCTS- CONSISTENT
WITH THE APPROACH OUTLINED IN
THIS BILL- WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT
OF THE BILL THANK YOU. SO MUCH-
ARE THERE OTHERS YOU WANT TO
VOICE SUPPORT FOR THE BILL.
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
MEGHAN SUPERS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA PROFESSIONAL
FIREFIGHTERS AND SUPPORT. THREE
ALL CHEN MEMBERS JONATHON
FELDMAN ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF
CAMERI ON SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING
SUSAN LITTLE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP IN SUPPORT THANK
YOU. THE COLOR CALIFORNIANS
AGAINST WASTE IN SUPPORT. ERIN
WOOLLEY ON BEHALF OF SIERRA CLUB
CALIFORNIANS SUPPORT THANK YOU.
AMMAR AKER ON BEHALF OF BREAST
CANCER PREVENTION PARTNERS IN
THE CLEANS HIS LOBBYING
COALITION IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU
SO MUCH ALL RIGHT- ANYONE. WHO
WANTS TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT
THE BILL OR EXPRESS OPPOSITION
COME ON UP. GOOD MORNING MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS SAID DON
CAP KEY ON BEHALF THE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION. UNFORTUNATELY HERE
TODAY REGRETTABLE OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION BUT TO BE CLEAR
ABSOLUTELY CLEAR CMC AND ITS
MEMBER COMPANIES DO NOT OPPOSE
THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS
BILL TO BE AND INTENTIONALLY
ADDED PEACE HOUSE IN MENSTRUAL
PRODUCTS. NO QUESTION FULL STOP
THE CONCERN REALLY COMES ABOUT
BASED ON RECENT AMENDMENTS
RELATED TO THE UNINTENTIONALLY
ADDED THRESHOLD BEING SAT AT TEN
PARTS PER MILLION. I HOPE THAT
IS AN INCREDIBLY LOW THRESHOLD
ESPECIALLY FOR UNINTENTIONALLY
ADDED THAT P. FASTS ARE
MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT ADDING
THESE CHEMICALS. FOR ANY
INTENTIONAL FUNCTIONAL EFFECT
WHATSOEVER HOWEVER AS WAS NOTED
IN THE ANALYSIS IT HAS BEEN
DISCUSSED IN MULTIPLE
JURISDICTIONS ON THIS BILL AND
OTHERS. HOUSE CHEMICALS ARE
UBIQUITOUS UNFORTUNATELY IN OUR
ENVIRONMENT WHETHER THEY'RE
FOUND IN OUR AIR WASTE WATER.
EVEN JUST DRINKING WATER SOURCES
SOILS WHAT HAVE YOU AND SO THE
ABILITY TO CONTROL FOR SOME OF
THIS UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED P.
FAST PRESENTS SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES. MANUFACTURERS
CERTAINLY ARE DOING THEIR BEST
TO WORK THROUGH THEIR PROCESS
USED TO TRY TO MITIGATE
UNINTENTIONAL CONTAMINATION
INEVITABLY THROUGHOUT THE SUPPLY
CHAIN AND DISTRIBUTION CHAIN.
THERE ARE SITUATIONS WHERE
THEY'RE FINDING OUT
UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED P. FAST IN
PRODUCTS IN THOSE THOSE- IN THAT
KIND OF SYSTEM A CHAIN OF-
DISTRIBUTION FOR THESE PRODUCTS.
FURTHERED THE STATE HAS SPECIFIC
STANDARDS CITED A FOR THE BASIS
FOR THE TEN PARTS PER MILLION
NOTABLY AS A STANDARD THAT'S
FOCUSED ON EXTRACTABLE ORGANIC
FLUORINE VERSUS THE BILL'S CALL
OUT FOR A RELATIVE TO TOO LITTLE
PARKING AND EXPLORING. THOSE ARE
ARE NOT AN APPLES TO APPLES
COMPARISON AND STANDARD FOR THE
PURPOSE OF EVALUATING THIS
PARTICULAR THRESHOLD.
EXTRACTABLE ORGANIC FLORIAN.
HE'LL HAVE A STANDARD THAT SIGN
AS BASIS FOR TEN. IS VERY DO AND
DOES MISS A EVEN CAPTURE THE
FULL RANGE OF P. FAST CHEMICALS
GIVEN THE THOUSANDS OF CHEMICALS
THAT FALL INTO THIS CLASS SO
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A TOTAL
ORGANIC FLUORINE. APPROACH TO
THIS THERE'S NOT BEEN ANY KIND
OF PROOF THAT THAT IS A RELIABLE
TESTING STANDARD AND WE'RE STILL
SEEN THAT EVOLVE OVER TIME SO
REALLY THIS COMES DOWN TO A
CHALLENGE FOR MANUFACTURERS
AGAIN WHO ARE NOT INTENTIONALLY
ADDING THESE CHEMICALS. WHO
TRULY YOU KNOW WANT TO BE
COMPLIANT BUT AS WE LOOK AHEAD
THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT HOW DO
THEY KNOW WHETHER THEY CAN
COMPLY GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR
EXPOSURES THROUGHOUT THE SUPPLY
AND DISTRIBUTION CHAIN. FURTHER
ARE THEY GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO
ADD TO HOLD TO THAT TEN PPM FOR
UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED
CONTAMINATION ON A PER. TAMPON
PER PAD BE SAYS AND IF THAT'S
THE CASE HOW ARE THEY GOING TO
GO ABOUT TESTING EACH INDIVIDUAL
TAMPON AND PAD FOR THE PURPOSE
OF PUTTING INTO THE MARKET. TO
ENSURE THEIR BELOW THAT
THRESHOLD THERE SINCE YOU
SIGNIFICANT WORK ABILITY ISSUES
ASSOCIATED WITH THAT. OUR FOLKS
HAVE AGREED THAT THEY BELIEVE
THAT BY TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN THEY
COULD DEFINITELY GET TO A FIFTY
P. PPBM WE'VE ALSO PROPOSED
PERHAPS LOOKING TO D. TSC. TO
THE EXTENT THAT THE TSC IS NOT
THE RIGHT FORM PERHAPS EVEN A WE
HER AS A MEANS BY WHICH TO LOOK
AT SOME OF THE STANDARDS THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU KNOW
ADDRESSING POTENTIALLY A LOWER
THRESHOLD. BUT AS THE BILL'S
CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED WITH
REGARD TO THAT UNINTENTIONALLY
ADDED THRESHOLD THAT IS OF HIGH
CONCERN FOR MANUFACTURERS. WE DO
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING THE
DISCUSSIONS TO TRY TO MITIGATE
SOME OF THESE CONCERNS BUT AGAIN
OUR OUR CONCERNS ARE NOT WITH
THE GOAL OF THE BILL BUT. THAT
SPECIFIC PROVISION THANK YOU.
THANK YOU- OTHER FOLKS IT REYES
CONCERNS. YEAH JULIE MANAUS GIVE
HAVE THE AMERICAN. COUNCIL AT
THOSE CAN. OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
OKAY YEAH LET'S GO TO THE PHONE
LINES- SEE IF FOLKS WANNA WIN
EITHER SUPPORTERS OR OPPOSITION
TO THE BILL- 877-226-8163 CODE
THREE THREE ZERO. EIGHT EIGHT
ZERO FIVE. AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION. OR IN
FAVOR OF IT AB TWO FOUR SIX
PLEASE PRESS ONE. AND ZERO AT
THIS TIME. FOR A LINE NUMBER
SEVENTEEN. MORNING CHAIRMAN OR
DOCUMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF
PRO CHOICE HOW IN SUPPORT. THANK
YOU WILL GO NEXT TO LINE NUMBER
. EIGHTEEN HELLO MY NUMBER LAURA
ROSENBERGER HAIDAR THE HEAR ME
YES PLEASE VOTE YES FOR A B. TWO
FOR SIX. THANK YOU WHAT CONNECTS
LINE NUMBER. ELEVEN VANDER CLAY
WITH THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
SANITATION DISTRICT IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU AYE MR CHER WE HAVE NO
FURTHER ISSUE. OKAY SO BRING THE
BRING THE BILL BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE- I THINK THE CHALLENGE
THAT WE'RE HAVING HERE WITH.
THANK YOU. AT STANFORD FOR THE
CONCERNS THE RAISED. I'M THE
CHALLENGE I THINK WE'VE BEEN
HAVING HERE IS THAT- YOU KNOW IS
WITH DATA AND MAKING SURE WE
REALLY GET- SOME GOOD NUMBERS
HERE AND YOU KNOW CERTAINLY YOU
KNOW THERE'S LOTS OF CONCERN
ABOUT ANY CONCENTRATION OF P.
FIVE IN. PRODUCT PARTICULARS
PRODUCTS THAT ARE- YOU KNOW CAN
BE EASILY IGNITED SITUATION
WHERE THEY CAN WITH WHERE THE
DEVICE COULD EASILY BE ABSORBED
INTO THE BODY- YEAH THE PROPOSED
FIFTY PARTS PER MILLION THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION IS A POSSIBLE
AMENDMENT. YOU KNOW BY BY TWENTY
SEVEN I BELIEVE THE THAT'S A
STANDARD THAT IS IN LINE WITH
WHAT WE DO FOR CLOTHING BUT I
THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT YOU
KNOW. MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS ARE ARE
ARE ARE MODEL MAY I HAVE A
DIFFERENT STANDARD THAN THAN A
JACKET- YEAH THE TEN PARTS PER
MILLION IS BASICALLY WHAT THE
YEARS DOING I YOU KNOW I KNOW
THAT ART STAFF. YOU KNOW IF
THERE'S IF THERE'S SOME DATA TO
SHOW THAT- ON INTENTIONALITY
FIVE SEMESTER PRODUCTS ARE
LIKELY TO EXCEED THE PROPOSED
TEN PARTS PER MILLION OR THAN
INTENTIONAL CONTAMINATION. CAN'T
BE MITIGATED TO BELOW THIS VALUE
IN ORDER TO PROTECT PUBLIC
HEALTH. WE'RE CERTAINLY
INTERESTED IN SEEING A NIGHT WE
WANT TO HAVE THAT DATA HOW TO
DRIVE THE CONVERSATION- I THINK
THE CHALLENGES THAT WERE. WE'RE
WE'RE FINAL BLIND HERE AND- I
THINK THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
RELUCTANCE ON OUR COMMITTEES
PART TO MOVE THAT THE STANDARD.
OF BEYOND WHERE IT IS IN THE
BILL RIGHT NOW WHICH IS A SE IS
GENERALLY IN LINE WITH THE U.
STANDARDS- IN THE ABSENCE OF
ADDITIONAL- YOU KNOW- YOU KNOW
ADDITIONAL ADDITIONAL DATA- I
TOTALLY HEAR THE CONCERNS. ABOUT
GENERAL WORK ABILITY BUT- I WANT
TO HAVE A GROUNDED IN SOMETHING
MORE THAN. JUST CONCERNS BUT YOU
KNOW IF YOU IF YOU GOT A
RESPONSE THAT DONE IT CERTAINLY
HAPPY TO HEAR. SHE THOUGHT
MISTER CHAIR AGAIN DON CAP YOU
SEE MTA I WOULD JUST NOTE THAT
IN THE ANALYSIS UP THERE IS
REFERENCE TO SOME OF THESE
PRODUCTS BEING TESTED- I THINK
IT CAME UP I THINK THE NOTE SAID
TO ADD SOMETHING TO THE EXTENT
ABOUT 22% OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE
TESTING AND A RANGE OF. I THINK
IT SAID TWELVE TO TWENTY EIGHT
PPM OR SO GIVE GIVE OR TAKE THAT
NUMBER. AND I THINK THAT THAT
THAT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT SEEM TO MEMBERS
WHO ARE NOT INTENTIONALLY ADDING
THESE CHEMICALS. SO IF TESTING
IS- CHAU WAYNE FOR THESE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT
INTENTIONALLY ADDED P. FAST.
YOU'RE STILL REACHING ABOVE THAT
RANGE IT BEGS THE QUESTION HOW
CAN WE MITIGATE THAT IF CAN IF
MANUFACTURERS ARE LOOKING TO
CONTROL. YOU KNOW KIND OF
EXPOSURE TO THAT AT EVERY TURN
AND YET WE'RE STILL SEEING THOSE
POP UP ON. WHICH TO WITH AN
INFECTIOUS DOING IN EUROPE TO. I
THAT I AM SORRY SEE TO I'D BE
HAPPY TO HAVE A COME. WITH HIM
MEMBER ABOUT THAT AGAIN YOU KNOW
I THINK PART OF ISSUE HERE THAT
I WE'VE ALL. THE SCIENCES WELL
AS THE TESTING METHODOLOGIES ARE
OR- IN YEAH AND SO I THINK FROM
OUR MEMBERS STAMP. YOU KNOW
THROUGH THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN
GET AT SOME POINT TO A LOWER
THRESHOLD OF LOW FIFTY PPM. ARE
MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT SAYING NO
I THINK THE ISSUE IS MORE JUST
ABOUT THE RELIABILITY OF THESE
TEST METHODS. THE APPROACH TO
TESTING AGAIN ARE WE TESTING ON
AN INDIVIDUAL TAMPON BY TAMPON
BASIS WITHIN A BOX. AND THE LIVE
. ASSOCIATED WITH ONE TAMPON
BEING THAT. PPM AND NOT BOX. AND
THE OTHER BEING AT NINE LIKE
WHERE TO THAT LEAVE THESE MENU.
WHO AGAIN NOT IN TEN. ADDING
MUSIC. YEAH I MEAN I'M SURE THAT
SIR OF THE WE CAN. WE CAN FIT WE
CAN FIGURE OUT SOME LANGUAGE ON-
AND FURTHER WE JUST OFFERS
WELLNESS SHERRY AS WE MET. STAFF
IN SIR PRE THAT TIME IT'S BEEN A
LOT OF TIME WITH US ON THIS
BILL. AS WE'VE EXPLORED KNOW
ADDITIONAL AND BACKGROUND AND
PROVIDED EXAMPLES. IN OTHER
CHEMICAL ALL ARENAS WHERE YOU
KNOW THIS. WAS YOU. BEING AND
SHOWING THE J. AROUND OF TEST
RELY IT. VARIATION IN. TECH WHAT
HAVE YOU. IT'S NOT OUT OF THE
REALM OF POSSIBILITY THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO CHALLENGE EVEN
AS ALLOW TO MOVE. TO LOWER TEST
PRESSURE. THAT THERE ARE STILL
GOING TO BE VERY ABILITY AS THE
SCIENCE INVOLVED ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THAT THIS TOTAL ORGANIC
FLORIAN APPROACH. IS INCREDIBLY
STRINGENT ACROSS THOUSANDS OF
CHEMICALS AND SO THAT REALLY
JUST PRESENTS ADDITIONAL
COMPLEXITIES AGAIN OUR
MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT ARGUING.
WITH YOU KNOW THE FOCUS ON
BANNING P. FAST INTENTIONALLY
ADDED IT'S A MATTER OF WORK
ABILITY IN THE NEAR TERM. AND WE
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION
OKAY I'VE I'VE GOT TO GO
PRESENTED OVER A PROVISION IN
THEIR LIVING ABOUT TO TURN. I'M
SO I'M IN IT HAND OVER THE GAVEL
TO SENATOR MENSCH OF OUR- I
THINK WHAT WE GOTTA DO I MEAN
WHAT I MEAN- RECOMMEND WE DO. IS
THAT CAN TODAY I'M BILL HAS DONE
REFERRED GOING TO DISH COMMITTEE
- KNOW THAT YOU ALSO SOME YOU
CONCERNS. WITH A CHAIR OVER
THERE. I AM WITH THE STAFF OVER
THERE AND MAYBE WHAT GOTTA DO IS
GET IT MEET TOGETHER WITH THE
YOU KNOW THE AUTHOR. THE
SPONSOR- THE- FOLKS OF CMT A AND
- ICHIMONJI. STOP AND IS. SERVE
TALKED SOMEBODY'S WORK ABILITY.
I WE OUGHT TO SPEND A LITTLE.
LOOKING IT LED TO GET YOUR FREE.
ON ARE YOU KNOW YOU'RE-
COUNTERPARTS ARE DOING TO ME THE
STANDARD THAT ARE THERE- AND THE
WE CAN. YOU KNOW GET TO PLACE
WHERE WHERE. ABLE TO- YOU FEEL
ABOUT. ABOUT ABOUT TO THE
ABILITY FOR. THAT'S
RECOMMENDATION- IF THAT'S A
MENTAL TO YOU. AS CERTAIN I MEAN
I THE BILL REASON TAYLOR WE'RE-
ABOUT PHASES TO TWENTY. WE CAN
ALREADY DO. FOR PART PER
MILLION- IT'S AN EXTRA DANGEROUS
CAN. IT IS INTIMATE THE BODY
WHEN IT'S IMMENSE PRODUCTS- WE
TAILOR THE BUILT GET THEIR
TAKING ACCOUNT. WHAT MADE YOU.
MIGHT GO THROUGH UPSTREAM FOR ON
AND INCLUSION- AND IT'S A TWO
FOR YOU GET AN ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFIT AS WELL SO WE WE'VE BEEN
DOWN THIS ROAD FOR QUITE SOME
TIME SO THAT WE COULD ADDRESS
THOSE CONCERNS- AND- BUT-
CERTAINLY HAPPY AND WILLING TO
TALK FURTHER. OKAY A DEER A
PROVISIONS ALREADY CHURNED SO MY
BILLS YOU KNOW WE'LL FIND OUT
HOW. SO THERE WE ARE- AND YEAH I
IT WE CAN TEST TODAY TO GET TO
TEN PARTS PER MILLION SO I IT-
AND AGAIN THIS IS A TWENTY
TWENTY SEVEN PHASE AND- SO THAT
WE CAN DEAL WITH THE
UNINTENTIONAL AND NOT BE OVERLY
BURDENSOME ON MANUFACTURERS WHEN
YOU WEIGH THAT AGAINST. THE
DANGER OF THIS CHEMICAL AND HOW
INTIMATELY IT'S USED I THINK THE
BILL IS VERY BALANCED. YEAH OKAY
I THINK YOU KNOW I MEAN I THINK
OUR OUR TENDENCIES BEEN TO BE-
YOU KNOW ALONG THE LINES OF.
SYMPATHETIC TO YOUR SAID NOT ALL
YOUR GOALS BUT THE DETAILS-
THERE MAY BE SOME WORKABILITY
ISSUES THAT WE CAN. MAYBE WE CAN
LEARN FROM THE EUROPEAN MODEL TO
HELP BETTER HONED EXACTLY HOW
WE'RE GOING TO PROCEED THEY'RE
OBVIOUSLY VERY STRICT AND
JUSTIFIABLY SO I'M- LOOK FOR.
THE DISCUSSIONS AND YOU SENATOR
BUT THANK YOU. OKAY WE GET TO ME
BECAUSE OKAY CAN'T MOVE ANYWAY
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT OF CORN- THANK
YOU THE YOU I REALLY APPRECIATE
IT THANK YOU I'M M. DISCUSSION.
YEAH LOOKING FOR TO FURTHER.
OKAY LET'S CALL OF DECEMBER WE-
WHO'S ALL HERE TO TALK P. FIVE.
SO EVERYONE CAN STAY. HI YEAH.
THANKS THANK YOU. MARINES
MEMBERS RIGHT YOU. THANK YOU
GOOD MORNING CHAIR MEMBER- OUT
TO START BY. AT EXCEPT THE
COMMITTEE TECH TO AMENDMENT AND
THINGS THAT COMMITTEE STAFF.
WORK SO HARD WITH MICE ON THIS
BILL I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB
SEVEN SO WHICH PROHIBITS THE
SALE DOES. AND MANUFACTURING OF
CLAY PRODUCTS CONTAIN P. FIVE.
WE KNOW THAT P. FIVE SINCE SO
CAN THAT FOUND A STAG AWAY AFTER
PRIOR. USUALLY TOOK NON WATER
RESIST OR STAY REPEL CODE.
NONSTICK PAN. I'M BROWN NO
POLISH PRIEST PACKAGING POP BAGS
IN PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES ARE
EXAMPLES OF PRODUCTS COMMONLY
KNOWN TO CONTAIN P. FAST THESE
CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS ARE EXTREMELY
STABLE AND ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO
BREAK DOWN EARNING THE NICKNAME
FOREVER CHEMICALS. BECAUSE OF
PROVEN HEALTH RISKS AND EFFECTS
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL BILLS
BANNING THE USE OF P. FAST AND
SEVERAL PRODUCTS INCLUDING
COSMETICS FOOD PACKAGING AND
FIREFIGHTING FOAM. THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP
WHICH FOUND APPROXIMATELY 50% OF
INDUSTRIAL GRADE FLOOR POLISHES
WHICH ARE USED IN PUBLIC
BUILDINGS SCHOOLS AND COMMERCIAL
OFFICES ALSO CONTAIN P. FAST.
AND ONE IN SIX HOUSEHOLD
CLEANING PRODUCTS DO AS WELL. P.
FAST FLOOR POLISHES CAN EXPOSE
JANITORIAL WORKERS AND THE
PUBLIC TO AIRBORNE P. FAST THIS
ALSO ENTERS OUR WASTE WATER WHEN
FLOORS ARE MOPPED AND CLEANED.
THE CALIFORNIA STATE WATER
RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD ISSUED A
STATEMENT MONITORING AND
REPORTING ORDERS FOR PPS AND
DRINKING AND WASTEWATER IN
TWENTY TWENTY. WHICH FOUND THAT
A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF P.
FASTER ENTERING WASTE WATER THE
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
CUSTOMERS. WATER AND WATER-
WASTEWATER OPERATORS ARE PRO
ACTIVELY WORKING TO REDUCE
SOURCES OF P. FAST IN THEIR
SYSTEMS. STILL REMOVING PAYPIE
FAST ENTIRELY AT THE END POINT
IT'S A DAUNTING AND COST
PROHIBITIVE TASK. AND THEREFORE
SOURCE CONTROL IS THE MOST
EFFECTIVE POLICY APPROACH. FOR
THESE REASONS AB SEVEN TWENTY
SEVEN PROHIBITS THE SALE
DISTRIBUTION AND MANUFACTURE OF
CLEANING PRODUCTS CONTAINING P.
FAST CHEMICALS. THAT THIS
PROHIBITION APPLIES TO CLEANING
PRODUCTS USED FOR INDUSTRIAL
INSTITUTIONAL HOUSEHOLD
AUTOMOTIVE AND WATER VESSEL
MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. THIS BILL
LOWERS THE THRESHOLD OF P. FAST
IN PRODUCTS FROM TWENTY TWENTY
SIX TO TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT. AND
IT ALSO AUTHORIZES THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL A CITY ATTORNEY OR
COUNTY COUNCIL OR DISTRICT
ATTORNEY TO BRING ACTION AGAINST
AN ENTITY THAT VIOLATES THIS
PROVISION. I'M JOINED HERE TODAY
BY THE BILL'S SPONSORS SUSAN
LITTLE ON BEHALF OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP AND
JESSICA GEIGER ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
SANITATION AGENCIES THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WEBER. I'M AT MY NAME IS
SUSAN LITTLE I'M A SENIOR
ADVOCATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP WHICH IS ONE OF
THE BILL'S CO SPONSORS. AND AS
THE COMMITTEE WELL KNOWS AN ****
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ME- RELATE P.
FAST- ARE CALLED FOREVER
CHEMICALS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT
BREAK DOWN IN OUR ENVIRONMENT
AND THE BUILD UP IN OUR BLOOD
AND ORGANS. THEY'RE LINKED TO A
RANGE OF SERIOUS HEALTH HARMS
AND THERE IS I WANT TO REMIND
THE COMMITTEE THAT THERE IS NO
SAFE LEVEL P. FAST EXPOSURE
THAT'S BEEN IDENTIFIED. P.
FASTER USED IN A WIDE RANGE OF
COMMITTEES CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND
LEGISLATURE IS ALREADY. TAKEN
ACTION TO REMOVE P. FAST FROM
MANY OF THEM. ALL OF THESE
EFFORTS AND THIS BILL PROHIBIT
THE ENTIRE CLASS OF P. FAST
CHEMICALS AND DEFINE P. FAST AS
CHEMICALS. THAT CONTAIN AT LEAST
ONE FULLY FLUORINATED CARBON
ATOM. THIS DEFINITION IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE DEFINITION
OF P. FAST USED BY OTHER STATE
AGENCIES. AND STATES AROUND THE
NATION. EDB S. AS THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MENTIONED EWG REVIEWED
HUNDREDS OF COMPANY WEBSITES AN
INGREDIENT LIST OF FLOOR
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
PRODUCTS. AND FOUND THAT MANY OF
THEM DO CONTAIN P. FAST. IN FACT
ALMOST 50% OF THE COMMERCIAL
FLOOR PRODUCTS CONTAIN P. FAST
MEANING THAT THE FLOORS. OF OUR
PUBLIC BUILDINGS OFFICES
HOSPITALS RETAIL STORES SCHOOLS.
AND POSSIBLY EVEN THE FLOORS OF
THIS BUILDING ARE COATED WITH
THE FAST. AND STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
THAT THIS P. FAST ENTERS THE AIR
WHEN DISTURBED. BUT OTHER
CLEANING PRODUCTS CONTAIN P.
FAST AS WELL DISHWASHER RINSE
AIDS. MULTI PURPOSE CLEANERS AND
NOW AEROSOL AIR FRESHENERS AND
CLEANING PRODUCTS CONTAIN P.
FAST BASED PROPELLANTS. WERE
UNWITTINGLY SPREADING AND SPRING
P. FASTENER HOMES OFFICES AND
SCHOOLS. OTHER STATES AS WELL AS
OTHER NATIONS ARE WORKING TO
PROHIBIT NONESSENTIAL USES A P.
FAST. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE
KNOW THAT MANY CLEANING PRODUCTS
EVEN FLOOR FINISHES AND POLISHES
ARE MADE WITHOUT P. FAST. WE
DON'T NEED P. FASTER CLEAN
ALTERNATIVES ARE READILY
AVAILABLE. AND WE'D LIKE TO GET
THESE CHEMICALS OUT OF OUR HOMES
IN INDOOR AREAS AND WOULD ASK
THAT YOU SUPPORT THE BILL THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. AGAIN JESSICA
GALLAGHER WITH CAST THE OF WE
ARE CO SPONSOR OF THIS BILL AND-
DO SUPPORT IT AND ON THE TEN
PARTS PER MILLION I JUST WANTED
TO QUICKLY POINT OUT THAT. FOR
CONTEXT- EPA IS CURRENTLY
PROPOSING FOR TWO P. FAST
CHEMICALS PFOA AND PFOS. FOUR
PARTS PER TRILLION- AS THE
SAFETY THRESHOLD FOR DRINKING
WATER FOR HUMAN HEALTH EXPOSURE
SO MAGNITUDE SLOWER THAN WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT AND THIS
BILL IMPACT ARE THE FOLKS IN OUR
SECTOR ARE CONCERNS THAT WE
POTENTIALLY ARE SETTING THE
THRESHOLD. TOO HIGH- SO JUST- AS
PART OF THE CONVERSATION WANTED
TO POINT THAT OUT THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WAY WAY WAY LOWER
AND IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WATER
AND WASTEWATER WORLD- SO ANYWAY
FOR THOSE REASONS WE ARE IN
STRONG SUPPORT WORKERS SPONSOR
AND WE WOULD URGE YOUR I THOUGHT
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. OUR FOLKS
WANT TO WIN SUPPORT. JENNIFER

WELL THANK YOU. GREAT THANK YOU
AND NOW FOLKS WHO WANT TO RAISE
CONCERNS ARE OPPOSITION THE BILL
. THANK YOU GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBERS NICKEL CAN UNITS ON
BEHALF OF THE HOUSEHOLD AND
COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION
WE DO HAVE AN OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION ON AB SEVEN
TWENTY SEVEN- AND JUST TO BE
CLEAR OUR MEMBERS TO SUPPORT THE
GOALS OF THIS BILL TO REMOVE P.
FOSSUM CLEANING PRODUCTS. ARE
AMENDMENTS MERELY SEEK TO MAKE
THE BILL MORE IMPLEMENTABLE FOR
INDUSTRY- I DO WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR HERSELF ELIZABETH THE
COMMITTEE STAFF AS WELL AS THE
SPONSORS FOR THEIR CONTINUED
ENGAGEMENT- AND WE WILL CONTINUE
TO MEET WITH THEM IN EARNEST
WITH THE GOAL OF FINDING A
WORKABLE SOLUTION TO THE-
CONCERNS I WILL QUICKLY OUTLINE.
AT FIRST WE ARE SEEKING A LONGER
COMPLIANCE TIMELINE FOR A VERY
SPECIFIC CATEGORY OF PRODUCTS
THAT FALL WITHIN THE DEFINITION
OF THE POLISHING FOR MEN'S
PRODUCTS. THESE ARE PRODUCTS
RETURNING- SEMI PERMANENT FLOOR
FINISHES THEY'RE DESIGNED TO
REMAIN ON THE FLOOR FOR SUMMER
MONTHS TWO YEARS- AND THEY
MITIGATE THE WEAR AND TEAR ON
FLOORING AT TO EXTEND THE LIFE
SO. CURRENTLY DESPITE YEARS OF
RESEARCH TO REFORMULATE IT IS
ONE PRODUCT CATEGORY THAT HAS
FAILED TO FIND. A NEW
ALTERNATIVE- THAT WORKS AS WELL-
AND BUT THEY HAVE MANAGED TO
MAKE FORMULAS THEY'RE OPTIMIZED
TO USE ABSOLUTELY AT A MINIMAL
AMOUNT OF THE P. FOSTER THE
FLOORS SURFACTANT- SO WE ARE
JUST LOOKING FOR AN IT WILL
EXTENDED AMOUNT OF TIME TO
IMPLEMENT TO CONTINUE THOSE
REFORMULATION- RESEARCH- AND I
DO WANT TO KNOWLEDGE WE
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S RECENT
AMENDMENT TO EXTEND THE FIRST
EFFECTIVE DATE TWO TWENTY TWENTY
SIX- HOWEVER WE ARE ALSO SEEKING
THE ABILITY TO RESPONSIBLY CLEAR
THE SUPPLY CHAIN. I IN ORDER TO
PREVENT THE UNNECESSARY WASTING
OF PRODUCTS THAT ARE ALREADY
WITHIN THE STREAM OF COMMERCE
WHEN THE LAW TAKES EFFECT THIS
WOULD BE SIMILAR TO- AT
PROVISIONS AND OTHER REGULATORY
PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE CALIFORNIA
AIR RESOURCES BOARD WHEN THEY
SET NEW REGULATIONS ON CONSUMER
PRODUCTS- AND LASTLY- I. THIS
WAS SORT OF THE FOCUS OF A LOT
OF THE CONVERSATION ON THE LAST
BILLS WE DON'T WANT TO BE LABOR
AT- BUT WE DO BELIEVE THERE'S AN
APPROPRIATE ROLE FOR A
REGULATORY AGENCY TO PLAY IN
ADVISING THE LEGISLATURE
ADVISING THE REGULATED CA. I ON
THE BEST AVAILABLE TEST METHODS
AND THE APPROPRIATE TESTING
LIMITS RATHER THAN SETTING
LIMITS- BEFORE WE CAN RELIABLY
TEST FOR THEM THE ANALYSIS DOES
NOTE THAT THERE IS UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT THE CURRENT RELIABILITY OF
COMMERCIAL TESTING. FOR
CONCENTRATIONS AS LOW AS TEN PPM
RECOGNIZING IT ALSO NOTES YOU
KNOW HOPEFULLY BY TWENTY TWENTY
EIGHT THE EFFECTIVE DATE THAT
THAT YOU KNOW IS MORE ROBUST-
BUT CERTAINLY OUR POSITION WOULD
BE TO WAIT UNTIL WE KNOW THAT
THAT. IS AVAILABLE- SO IN
CLOSING I JUST SAY AGAIN WE
SHARE THAT THE GOALS OF THE
BILL. AND INDUSTRY IS CERTAINLY
WORKING- TRUE REFORMULATE AND
REMOVE THESE- CHEMICALS FROM OUR
PRODUCTS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUED CONVERSATIONS THINKING
. THANK YOU. MISTER GOOD MORNING
MR SURE NUMBERS ROB SPIEGEL
SENIOR POLICY DIRECTOR FOR THE
CALIFORNIA MANUFACTURERS AND
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION I'LL
PROVIDE JUST MAYBE SIXTY SECONDS
OF ADDITIONAL CONTEXT AS WELL
SIR. WE'VE ALREADY HEARD THROUGH
A B. TWO FORTY SIX AND OBVIOUSLY
TESTIMONY ON THIS BILL. THE
CHALLENGES FROM AT TEN PPM
THRESHOLD. AND WHILE SEEM TO
MEMBERS ARE NOT INTENTIONALLY
ADDING MUCH LIKE MY COLLEAGUES
KEPT HE SAID FOR THIS LINE OF
PRODUCTS AS WELL WITHIN SCOPE OF
THIS BILL. WHAT WE HAVE IS AN
UNKNOWN SET OF CRITERIA AND
UNDERSTANDINGS OF WHAT THOSE
PATHWAYS OF EXPOSURE ARE FOR P.
FASTENER. ON INTENTIONALLY ADDED
TO A PRODUCT. NOW WE BELIEVE IT
SEEM TA. THAT THE BEST ROLE IN
THE BEST AGENCY TO DO THE
EXPLORATION TO DO THE SCIENTIFIC
DATA DISCOVERY OF IDENTIFYING
THOSE PATHWAYS TO EXPOSURE FOR
UNINTENTIONAL P. FAST. IS THE
TSC AND PERHAPS WE HOPE. WE
KNOWN WE UNDERSTAND THEIR
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS WITH
THAT BEING PUT INTO THE BILL.
BUT TO BETTER INFORM POLICY
DECISIONS IN THE LEGISLATURE TO
BETTER INFORM. WHAT THOSE
PATHWAYS OF EXPOSURE ARE IN
COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS WE BELIEVE
THAT IS A WORTHY ENDEAVOR FOR
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE
AGENCY TO LOOK INTO. ON THURSDAY
OVER THERE IS THERE IT FOR CMT
MEMBERS EXCUSE ME. WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT THE UNINTENTIONAL
CONSEQUENCES FOR THE
UNINTENTIONAL P. FOSS WERE ALSO
THEN EXPANDING WITH IT THE
LIABILITIES THIS WELL AND THAT'S
THE SAME WITH TWO FORTY SIX. BUT
FOR THE- OUT OF PRODUCT. THE
INTENTIONALLY ALCHEMICAL P. FIVE
THESE PRODUCTS. WE ARE NOT DOING
THAT SEEM TO YOU MEMBERS ARE NOT
ADDING TO. SO LET'S GIVE THE
AGENCIES THE APPROPRIATE
AUTHORITIES AND DIRECTION TO
LOOK AT THESE UNINTENTIONAL
PATHWAYS OF EXPOSURE AND GO FROM
THERE WE ARE OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED WE DEFINITELY THINK THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSOR FOR THE
CONTINUING CONVERSATIONS AND
DIALOGUE WITH THE- WITH YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFF- AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING WORKING ON
THE SCHOOLS WITH. FORD THANKS
ARE. THANK YEP. YEAH JULIE

ALL THE PRODUCTS THEY HAVE ON ON
STOCK. THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION- I BELIEVE THAT IT DOES
BECAUSE WE HAVE A DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION- THE ISSUE WITH
STATING THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE
A REGULATION ON WHEN THINGS CAN
BE MANUFACTURED IS THAT THAT'S
HARD TO ENFORCE SO YOU DON'T
KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS ACTUALLY
MANUFACTURED WAS IT MANUFACTURED
WITHIN THE CORRECT TIME FRAME
VERSUS ACTUALLY GOING TO THE
SHELF AND SAYING. THAT THIS
PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE THERE SO
TO SAY THAT THEY WANT IT
SWITCHED OVER TO NOT BEING
MANUFACTURED AT A DIFFICULT TIME
REALLY MAKES IT CHALLENGING FOR
ENFORCEMENT. AND IMPLEMENTATION
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU
OTHER QUESTIONS OF FAITH IN. THE
SENATE SKINNER. I PRECIADO THE
AUTHOR FOR INTRODUCING THIS BILL
I THINK- WELL I DID NOT I'M HERE
HER OPENING COMMENTS OR THE-
MAIN WITNESSES I THINK WE KNOW
THAT THESE ARE THIS IS PERMANENT
P. FAST AS A PERMANENT IT IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT GOES AWAY. SO
WHILE I APPRECIATE THAT INDUSTRY
MAY HAVE TIME NEED TIME FOR
REFORMULATING I MEAN THE SHOULD
BE GONE NOW. ANYONE WHO HAS- IF
WE ARE THINKING ABOUT THE IMPACT
ON. OUR BABIES OUR CHILDREN AND
THAT LIFELONG OF BODY BURDEN OF
IT- I HOPE WE WANT I'M GOING NOW
SO I APPRECIATE THE YOU'VE
ALREADY ADJUSTED TIMELINES BUT-
YOU KNOW IF I IF I HAD TO WAVE
THE MAGIC WAND AND HAVEN'T GONE
NOW. SO I WOULD ADJUSTED ANY
FURTHER. AND I THINK IT COULD
BILL THANK YOU. IT SOUNDS A
MOTIONS- WHICH YOU CAN THAT'S
RIGHT. BECAUSE THE COMMENTS YOU
LIKE TO MAKE AN AT. I JUST WON
IT ONCE AGAIN THANK THE
COMMITTEE AND THE STAFF IN THE
CHAIR. OUT FOR HEARING THIS BILL
I WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
OPPOSITION- AND HOPEFULLY GET TO
A PLACE THAT WHERE. HOPEFULLY
THEY FEEL A LITTLE BIT MORE
COMFORTABLE- MAY OR MAY THEY MAY
OR MAY NOT EVER COME OFF OF THAT
SUPPORT OR OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED- BUT I DO JUST WANT TO
PIGGYBACK OFF OF WHAT SENATOR
SKINNER SAID YOU KNOW WE HAVE
KNOWN FOR A VERY LONG TIME THAT
P. FAST IS OUT THERE AND THAT IT
IS VERY HARMFUL. ODD TO OUR
BODIES INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT AND-
YOU KNOW AS A PHYSICIAN I THINK
OF PREVENTATIVE THINGS WHEN YOU
FIGURE THINGS OUT SO TECHNICALLY
IN MY HEAD THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT THIS INDUSTRY SHOULD HAVE
BEEN WORKING ON FOR A VERY LONG
TIME- AND NOT JUST TRYING TO
FIGURE IT OUT NOW BECAUSE
THERE'S A BILL THAT WOULD BE
REGULATING WHEN YOU SEE THAT
SOMETHING IS HARMFUL. YOU START
FIGURE OUT HOW TO REMOVE IT- THE
BEST TESTING METHODS- SO THAT
YOUR PRODUCTS ARE ARE SAFE AND
HEALTHY FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WILL
BE USING THEM AND EXPOSE TO THEM
SO- THIS IS JUST A LITTLE NUDGE
TO GET THEM IN THAT DIRECTION.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
IPHONE. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. I
WILL TAKE THE VOTE UP WHEN- WHEN
WE HAD A CAR THANK YOU LET'S
NEXT HEAR FROM DECEMBER JONES

FIRST I WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE. OF STAFF FOR WORKING
CLOSELY WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS
BILL AND I ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE'S. AMENDMENT TO
PROVIDE MORE GUIDANCE AND
CLARITY ON. ON DEEP PPR
REGARDING THE LEVEL. OF EXPECTED
TRAINING FOR THIS NEW LICENSE
APPLICATION PATHWAY. BY USING A
DRONE. PESTICIDE APPLICATORS CAN
REPLACE ANTIQUATED BACKPACK
BLOWER SOLUTION THAT PLACE
WORKERS IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH
RESTRICTED MATERIALS FARMERS CAN
APPLY FEWER PESTICIDES TO THE
FARMERS. DUE TO THE PRECISION
NATURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY AND
BENEFIT BY PAYING FOR LESS WATER
IN AIRCRAFT FUEL WHEN THEY APPLY
PESTICIDES IN MAY THE FEDERAL
AVIATION ADMINISTRATION F. A. A.
IF YOU A DECISION TO. IT
AGRICULTURE LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS AND STATED THAT
SINCE IT BEGAN LICENSING DRONES
FOR AGRICULTURE PESTICIDE
APPLICATIONS IN TWENTY FIFTEEN
THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPORTED
ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES AMONG
LICENSE AGRICULTURAL DRONE
OPERATORS DURING. THIS EIGHT
YEAR TIME FRAME ACCORDING TO THE
FAA DRONES ARE LOWER RISK THAN
MANNED AIRCRAFT IN A SIMILAR
OPERATION BECAUSE THE DRONE
WEIGHS MUCH LESS THAN A MANNED
AIRCRAFT CARRIER THE MUCH
SMALLER PAYLOAD CARRIES NO
FLAMMABLE FUEL. FLEISS'S LOWER
AND IS MORE MANEUVERABLE THAN A
MANNED AIRCRAFT THEREFORE IN AN
ACCIDENT DRUNKEN WHAT IMPACT
WITH LESS ENERGY IN BECAUSE IT
IS BATTERY POWERED WILL PRESENT
NO RISK OF THE FIRE FROM FUEL
SPILLAGE. INTO SPACE THE DPR
SNOOP AUTHORITY ORANGE COUNTY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN WEST HILLS
COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAVE CREATED
CAREER PATHWAYS TO TRAIN AND
PREPARE. LICENSE APPLICATORS ON
DRONE PESTICIDE APPLICATOR
SKILLS THESE PROGRAMS AND MORE
WILL BE EXPECTED AT OTHER
COMMUNITY COLLEGES CAMPUSES WILL
MAKE THE TECHNOLOGY READILY
AVAILABLE TO FARMERS AS OPPOSED
TO THE CURRENT EXCLUSIVE PATHWAY
IN CALIFORNIA BECOME A DRONE
AERIAL. APPLICATORS PRODUCED
ONLY SEVEN LICENSES USING DRONES
TO APPLY PESTICIDES. MEMBERS
FARMERS SIMPLY ARE NOT ABLE TO
ACCESS THIS IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY
DUE TO THE LIMITED OPPORTUNITY
TO TRAIN AERIAL APPLICATOR
LICENSE. APPLICANTS IN THE SAFE
USE OF THE TECHNOLOGY ALL
CALIFORNIANS WILL BENEFIT FROM
THE DECREASE RISK THE PILOT THE
PUBLIC AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THE
TIME IS COME FOR US TO EMBRACE
THIS TECHNOLOGY AND BRING NEW
SUSTAINABLE TOOLS THAT
CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURE. WITH ME
TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY TODAY IS
ALICE DALY- I HAVE SMALL FARMER
WHO ALSO OPERATES THE PAST. AT
SERVICE BUSINESS THANK YOU I
RESPECT ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK
YOU SIR GOOD MORNING AMONG TO
SPEAK TO MY NAME SELL STAY. THE
THIRD GEN FARMER FOR SANDY
COUNTY WHERE I GREW OCADO CITRUS
AND WHITE GRAPES MO OF WHICH ARE
SORT OR- I'M ALSO CHAIR OF THE
CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU RURAL
HEALTH AND SAFETY COMMITTEE. I
HAVE BEEN A LICENSE AGRICULTURAL
PESTICIDE APPLICATOR FOR OVER
THIRTY FIVE YEARS AND IN THAT
TIME WE'VE SEEN MANY ADVANCES IN
APPLICATION TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS
RESULTED IN IMPROVED EFFICACY.
AND WORKER SAFETY. THE U. A. V.
IS RELATIVELY NEW TECHNOLOGY IN
THIS COUNTRY AND MANY CALIFORNIA
FARMERS WANT THE OPPORTUNITY
UTILIZED THE SAFE AND ACCURATE
MACHINE. THE OBVIOUS IMPROVEMENT
TO SAFETY IS THE ABILITY TO
REMOVE THE APPLICATOR FROM
INTIMATE CONTACT CONTACT WITH
THE SPRAY EQUIPMENT AND THE
PESTICIDES THE DRONE OF LYLES
THE OPERATOR TO APPLY THE
MATERIALS VERY PRICES SLIGHTLY
WHILE THE REMAINING ON THE EDGE
OF THE TREATMENT AREA. THE LESS
OBVIOUS IMPROVEMENT TO WORKER
SAFETY IS THAT FOR MY CREW FOR
EXAMPLE A UAV WOULD ELIMINATE
THE USE OF MISS BLOWERS WHICH IS
A SIXTY POUND PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
THAT IS CARRIED ON THE BACK OF
THE FIELD WORKER. THE FUEL
WORKER TRUDGES THROUGH A
VINEYARD TRYING TO MAINTAIN A
UNIFORM WALKING SPEED AN
APPLICATION RATE WHAT CLIMBING
UP AND DOWN HILLS AND AVOIDING
ROCKS AND GO FOR HOLES. WITH
DRONES SPRAY TECHNOLOGY WE CAN
NOT ONLY REMOVE THE WORKER FROM
THE APPLICATION AREA WE'RE
MOVING A HEAVY GAS DRIVEN.
SPRAYER IN CHEMICAL FILLED TANK
FROM THEIR BACK. DRONE
TECHNOLOGY ENSURES UNIFORMITY OF
COVERAGE IT FLIES AND APPLIES
MATERIALS NO MATTER WHAT THE IT
WHAT THE TERRAIN. FOR THESE
REASONS I ORDERED AND PURCHASED
A TWENTY A DRONE A TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLAR INVESTMENT. AND
WE HAVE IT SECURED THE THREE F.
A. A LICENSE NEEDED TO OPERATE
IT. SO FAR THREE OF MY
EMPLOYEES. HAVE SECURED YOU UAV
PILOT LICENSES. BY FAR THE MOST
DIFFICULT HURDLE TO CLEAR. IS
THE CALIFORNIA APPRENTICE AND
JOURNEYMEN PROCESS CURRENTLY
REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A LICENSE. A
PESTICIDE. LICENSE IN CALIFORNIA
. I BELIEVE THIS BILL GIVES THE
DEPARTMENT OF PESTICIDE
REGULATION DIRECTION AND
FLEXIBILITY TO CRAFT A CLEAR
PATH. FOR FARMERS LIKE ME TO GET
LICENSED WITHOUT COMPROMISING
THE SAFETY OF FIELD WORKERS OR
THE PUBLIC. THIS BILL IN NO WAY.
IS SAYING THAT COMMERCIAL DRONE
APPLICATORS. SHOULD NOT HAVE TO
COMPLY WITH SAFETY AND TRAINING
THIS BILL PUTS THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR CRAFTING AND
ADMINISTERING. THIS TRAINING
WHERE IT BELONGS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF PESTICIDE
REGULATION. BY OPENING TRAINING
PATHWAYS THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY
OR COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM IT
WILL BE EASIER FOR PEOPLE LIKE
ME AND MY EMPLOYEES TO OBTAIN A
LICENSE. SAFETY IS NOT ENHANCE
THE SOME OF SUGGESTED BY
LIMITING THE SIZE OR SCOPE OF
THE UAV. SAFE APPLICATIONS ARE A
PRODUCT OF TRAINING TESTING AND
CONTINUING EDUCATION. CALIFORNIA
IS SECOND TO NONE IN PROMOTING.
AND REGULATING SAFE PESTICIDE
USE AND THIS BILL WILL ENSURE
THAT THAT CONTINUES. A DRONE
USED TO APPLY CHEMICALS ARE
SPREAD BENEFICIAL APP UP PLEASE
. SIR IF YOU COULD WRAP UP OKAY.
IN CONCLUSION I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOU TO VOTE TO APPROVE MOVING
THIS BILL FORWARD SO LICENSE
QUALIFIED APPLICATORS CAN
SERVICE FARMS AND RANCHES WITH
THE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
TECHNOLOGY THANK YOU SO MUCH AS
A MEMBER YOU HAVE ANOTHER
WITNESS NO THAT'S IT. THANK YOU
ACT- ANYONE IN THE ROOM WISHING
TO GIVE THEIR- SUPPORT. YEAH
GOOD MORNING I MATTHEW WELL WITH
WESTERN GROWERS ALSO SUPPORT.
SEE NO ONE ELSE ANY LEAD

THIRTY OF TWO MINUTES. A GOOD
MORNING- MY NAME IS ALAN JONES

C. TRIPLE A WHICH CALIFORNIA
AGRICULTURAL AIRCRAFT SOCIAIS
ASIAN. I MANAGE JONES AVIATION
BIGGS I'M A COMMERCIAL PILOT
WITH FIFTEEN THOUSAND HOURS A
ROTARY WING AND THIRTY FIVE
THOUSAND HOURS TOTAL TIME- AG
AVIATION'S BEEN MY LIFE. I HAVE
TRAINED NUMEROUS AG PILOTS OVER
THE YEARS THESE PILOTS HAVE
TRAINED. I HAVE TRAINED COME
WITH GENERAL AVIATION KNOWLEDGE
AND FLYING SKILLS. WHAT WE TEACH
THEM HOW TO BE AN ALCOHOLIC OR
AN AERIAL APPLICATOR. THIS IS
THE VALUE OF THE APPRENTICE AND
JOURNEYMEN PROGRAM. RATHER THAN
JUST HAVING A LOADER FILL THE
HOPPER POINT PILOT TO A FIELD
AND SAY GO GET IT- WE PROVIDE
THEM THE VOTE THEY'LL- AND
APPOINT THE PILOTS FEEL
DEPRESSED PILOT HOUSE BUT- WHO
WE'VE VERY FAST OF THE
APPLICATION. THE JOB BEGINS
PROVIDING FEEDBACK ON POTENTIAL
ISSUES THAT CAN ARISE AND HOW TO
RESPOND METEOROLOGY. ASPECTS TO
THE VIEW AND REVIEW OF THE FIELD
MAP TO IDENTIFY SENSITIVE SITES
THAT MAY NEED ADDITIONAL
ATTENTION. WE REVIEW THE LABEL
TO DISCUSS OUR LABEL RATES
DETERMINE APPROPRIATE DROPLETS
SECTION. NOZZLE SELECTION PUMP
PRESSURE. I'M NOT SURE PERSONAL
KNOWLEDGE OF A PRODUCT IF THERE
HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE WITH
APPLICATION OR TANK MIXES SO
THAT THE PILOT CAN AVOID THESE
ISSUES IN THE FUTURE. ALL OF
THESE DECISIONS ARE CENTRAL TO
MAKE A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE
APPLICATION. I SUPPORT THE
CURRENT APPRENTICE TOURNAMENT
PROCESS FOR MANNED AND UNMANNED
PILOTS THE PROGRAM WORKS. AND
THE PROCESS SHOULD BE THE SAME
FOR THOSE DOING THE SAME KIND OF
WORKED AS WE DO. THIS IS WHY I'M
TAKING THE POSITION OF OPPOSED.
UNLESS AMENDED TO AB TEN
SIXTEEN. THANK YOU THANK YOU.
NEXT WITNESS IN OPPOSITION. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS RYAN BILLION
I AM A COMMERCIAL PILOT WITH
OVER FOUR THOUSAND HOURS OF
FLIGHT TIME AND A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FIVE HOURS OPERATED
UNMANNED HELICOPTER MAKING
PESTICIDE APPLICATIONS. I WAS
ONE OF THE FIRST. PEOPLE TRAINED
AS AN APPLICATOR USING UNMANNED
AIRCRAFT. WHILE EMPLOYED AT UC
DAVIS IN TWENTY FIFTEEN I WAS
FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO WORK
WITH DR KEN GILES. WHO'S
CONDUCTING AND MANNED AERIAL
APPLICATION RESEARCH USING
YAMAHA'S R. MAX HELICOPTER. THE
UNIVERSITY RESEARCH COVER TOPICS
OF APPLICATION EFFICIENCY AND
EFFICACY AS WELL AS
DEMONSTRATIONS OF THE TECHNOLOGY
TO FARMERS AND REGULATORY
AGENCIES. ONE OF THE CHALLENGES
FACED DURING THE RESEARCH WAS
EDUCATING. THE OMAHA
REPRESENTATIVES ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SAFE AND
EFFECTIVE APPLICATIONS ON A WIDE
VARIETY OF CROPS GROWN IN
CALIFORNIA. A FLIGHT RIGHT A
FLAT RICE PADDY IS A DIFFERENT
TARGET THAN AN ORCHARD FULL OF
TREES. THE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT WAS WELL
DEVELOPED BUT THERE WAS A LACK
OF APPRECIATION REGARDING THE
IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING
EFFECTIVE SPRAY PATTERNS FOR
DIFFERENT AGRO CHEMICALS APPLIED
TO CROPS. WHEN THE RESEARCH
TRIALS ENDED I BEGAN FLYING THE
UNMANNED HELICOPTER FREE OMAHA
AND THE FIRST FAA AUTHORIZED
COMMERCIAL APPLICATION BUSINESS
. I WAS CHOSEN FOR THIS POSITION
BECAUSE OF MY PREVIOUS FLYING
EXPERIENCE WITH THE ARM EXCEL
COPTER YOU SEE TAKEN SOMEONE OFF
THE STREET AND GETTING THEM
TRAINED IS NOT A ONE DAY CLASS
OR FEW DOCUMENTS YOU CAN READ.
SAFELY APPLYING PESTICIDES FROM
UNMANNED AIRCRAFT REQUIRES
TRAINING THAT IS AS DETAILED AS
MANY OF MY MANNED FLIGHT
TRAINING EVENTS- PART OF MY
DEVELOPMENT WAS TO OBTAIN A
JOURNEYMAN AERIAL APPLICATOR.
APPLICATOR LICENSE. BEFORE I
COULD TEST FROM ADJOURNMENT CARD
I HAD TO OPERATE AS A PRACTICE.
UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF AN
EXPERIENCED JOURNEYMEN FOR FIFTY
HOURS. THE GERMAN HELP ME
RECOGNIZE FLIGHT HAZARDS IN THE
FIELD THAT I DID NOT SEE AN
EDUCATED ME ON THE PERTINENT
DETAILS. OF AERIAL LABELS OF
AGROCHEMICALS THINK JR. THANK
YOU. UP LAST SENTENCE YES. FOR
REASONS I HAVE STATED I SUPPORT
THE APPRENTICE AND JOURNEYMAN
PROGRAM FOR UNMANNED PILOTS IN
ROOM. AND OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED

OPPOSITION- BUT WHAT DOES THAT
TRAINING SO THE TWENTIES WILL BE
IN DEVELOPMENT WITH THE A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE UC. LET
ME SAY RIGHT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AGRICULTURAL AND
NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM FOR
DEVELOPING. WE WANT TO WORK WITH
THE PILOTS TO ENSURE NOT ONLY
ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THEY
KNOW ABOUT HOW TO SPRAY AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE DO THE MOST
EFFICIENT EFFECTIVE WAY OF
SPRING THE CROPS BUT ALSO
INCORPORATES THE USE IN THE MAN-
IT'S NOT GOTTEN. DONE ALL THE
WAY BUT WE CAN PRETTY CLOSE TO
THAT THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES

MORNING ASSEMBLY MEMBER. MORE
MORE WARNING HELLO OKAY WARNING
CHEN MEMBERS TODAY AND AB
SEVENTEEN SIXTEEN THIS IS A
COMMITTEE BILL THAT WOULD MAKE
VARIOUS TECHNICAL CHANGES THE
SIX STATEWIDE PROGRAMS MANAGED
BY THE CERTIFY UNIV CERTIFIED
UNIFIED PROGRAMS AGENCIES ARE
COOPER AS THESE PROGRAMS YOU THE
HANDLING AND STORAGE OF
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS THE GOAL THE
BILL'S IMPROVE THE CLARITY OF
THE LAW FOR BOTH THE REGULATORS
AND THE REGULATED COMMUNITY. WE
HAVE A WORKING VERY STAKEHOLDERS
AND WILL LIKELY BETWEEN THOSE
VERY TACKLES QUESTIONS OF THE
BILL WAS A PROCESS THAT I CAN
USE MY PRIMARY SUPPORT WITH US
IN THE ROOM I HAVE JUST AND-
WITH THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DIRECTORS
ON BEHALF OF THE COOP. THANK YOU
SO MUCH SIR YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES
CRIED AND CHECK MEMBERS DE
MILANO BEHALF THE LOCAL NUMBER
HEALTH MINISTER TO BE SPA LED.
FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU SO MUCH
TO THE CHAIR AND YOU'LL START
OFF FOR CARRYING THE BILL FOR US
IT'S A PAIN IN THE NECK
SOMETIMES THEY HAVE THESE
TECHNICAL BILLS BECAUSE WE HAVE
TO HAVE THEM I COOPER PROGRAM IS
ENTIRELY ESTABLISHED UNDER
STATUTES SO WHEN WE TWEAK THE
PROGRAM WE HAVE TO COME BACK TO
YOU TO MAKE THESE TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS BUT THEY LARGELY
INTENDED AS THE AS THE OFFICE
SAID. TO BE TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS
TO IMPROVE THE PROGRAM FOR BOTH
THE REGULATED COMMUNITY AND THE
REGULATORS- SOME RELATIVELY
MINOR CHANGES ONE SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE AND WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
VERY CLOSELY WITH ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS. WE'VE ADDRESSED
THE DEPARTMENT DEFENSE ISSUES WE
WORKING WITH SEEDS ACCOUNTS FOR
ECONOMIC. AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND
ECONOMIC BALANCE WE BELIEVE
WE'VE GOTTEN PERHAPS ONE OR TWO
MINOR TWEAKS OFF TO THIS. BUT
THE BILL IS GOING TO IMPROVE OUR
PROGRAM IN SEVERAL WAYS
INCLUDING. TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE
THAT. APPLY FOR A PERMIT PAY FOR
THEY PERMIT THIS IS A 100% FEE
SUPPORTED PROGRAM. IT'S ACTUALLY
UNFAIR AND IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL
FOR US TO. CHARGE OTHER PEOPLE
FOR SERVICES BE PROVIDED SO
THERE A COUPLE OF TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS LIKE THAT AGAIN I
WANT TO THANK YOU AND YOU'LL
STAFF. FOR WORKING WITH US AND
WE'LL IN. THAT IF THE ANY. MAY
WILL THEM BACK THE COMMITTEE FOR
YOU TO REVIEW BE. WE HEADED OFF
THE GOVERNOR SO THANK AGAIN- TO
THE- A AND TO USE. FOR HER US
THANK YOU. OKAY OTHER FOLK ONE
OF WAYS AND- OF THE BILL. ANY
OPPOSITION OPPOSITION FOLKS ONLY
RAISE CONCERNS. ARE THROUGH THE
PHONE LINES INTO ANYONE'S TO
WEIGH IN ON A B. SEVENTEEN.
SIXTEEN WELCOME TO MAKE COMMENT
WITH PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN ZERO
AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE NO LINE'S
QUEUING UP AT THIS TIME OKAY
LET'S BRING BACK TO COMMITTEE
ANY THOUGHTS QUESTIONS YES- THIS
ROSTER. FIRST OFF I WANT TO
STATE THANKS TO RING THE BELL
FOR I IN INSTALL SUPPORT
COOPER'S IT SOMETHING THAT- WHEN
I WAS A COUNTY SUPERVISOR. I WAS
VERY HELPFUL TO- THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY JUST HAVE ONE
QUESTION- SO THERE IS A- PENALTY
OF UP TO FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER DAY AND I WANTED TO KNOW
WHERE THAT PENALTY. WOULD GO TO-
IS IT GOING TO ACTUALLY HELP
BACK IN THE PROGRAM OR IS IT
WHAT WORDS BUT WHERE'S THE MONEY
GO I'M GONNA DEFERRED THE ANSWER
TO MY SPONSOR RIGHT. S. UP THE
PENALTY OF ALWAYS GONE EITHER IT
SHOULD INSERT PARTS OF THE
PROGRAM SHOULD WITH DTS SEAL THE
STATE BUT IN THIS CASE IT'LL BE
THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS GET IT
BACK. AND THOSE PENALTIES CAN GO
TO SIPS WHICH A SUPPLEMENTAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND IN
LIEU OF A FINE WE CAN ACTUALLY
GET THOSE PENALTIES TO HELP THAT
BUSINESS COME INTO COMPLIANCE
SO. THOSE THOSE FUNDS ARE KEPT
IN OUR PROGRAM THEY DON'T GOING
TO GENERAL FUNDS OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. WELL I THINK YOU
FOR THAT SO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF
A FOLLOW UP BECAUSE I KNOW THAT-
SPECIALLY IN THE VERY RULE PARTS
OF THE STATE WHERE WE- WERE
COUNTIES DON'T HAVE. THEY MAYBE
HAVE ONE HEALTH OFFICER TO COVER
DELETE THOUSANDS OF SQUARE MILES
IN VERY SMALL- BUSINESSES THAT
ARE VERY CRITICAL TO THOSE CUTE
COMMUNITIES IF THEY'RE NOT
THERE- FOR EXAMPLE- IN THE TOWN
WHERE I GET MY MAIL THE TOWN TO
BE BUT WE HAVE ONE SERVICE
STATION THAT IS ABLE TO FIX YOUR
CAR CHANGE A TIRE AND- AND IF
HE'S NOT THERE- WE HAVE. THE
LATE THIRTY FORTY MILES TO GO TO
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE
SERVICES. AND THE COOPER
PROGRAM- SOMETIMES IS BEEN
SOMEWHAT HEAVY HANDED WHERE THEY
CAME IN AND YOU KNOW- IT WOULD
COST THEM. THE FINES WERE MORE
THAN WHAT IT WOULD COST TO
ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM IN THE
BUSINESS HAD A DIFFICULT TIME
EVEN. AT THAT FIXING THE PROBLEM
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT.
THE RESOURCES GO. OUR OUR COMMON
SENSE APPROACH TO IT TO THE WE
ACTUALLY GET THE ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFIT THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR.

TWELVE SIXTEEN. WASTE WATER
TREATMENT PLANTS CONTRIBUTE TO
AIR POLLUTION THAT DIRECTLY
IMPACTS NEIGHBORING RESIDENTS.
POLLUTANTS OF CONCERN INCLUDE
HYDROGEN SULFIDE NITROUS OXIDES
AND VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH
VARIOUS ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS.
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.
BECAUSE ACID RAIN CONTRIBUTE TO
NUTRIENT POLLUTION IN COASTAL
WATERS. AND REACT TO FORM GROUND
LEVEL OZONE. EVEN AT LOW LEVELS
THESE POLLUTANTS CAUSE NOXIOUS
ODORS. HEADACHES NAUSEA I IN
RESPIRATORY IRRITATION AND OTHER
PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS WHICH
INCREASE WITH CONCENTRATION. AND
ADDITIONAL FREQUENCY OF
EXPOSURE. SHORT TERM EXPOSURE TO
NITROUS OXIDES FOR EXAMPLE CAN
RESULT IN COUGHING DIFFICULTY
BREATHING AGGRAVATE ASTHMA AND
LONG TERM EXPOSURE. CAN ACTUALLY
CAUSE AS MUCH IN- OVER THE LONG
TERM. SIMILAR EFFECTS MAYBE
EXPERIENCE TO EXPOSURE TO
HYDROGEN SULFIDE AND BOC'S.
SENSITIVE RECEPTORS INCLUDING
CHILDREN ARE PARTICULARLY AT
RISK- AT THE SAME LEVEL OF
EXPOSURE AS ADULTS THEY CAN
EXPERIENCE MUCH MORE SEVERE-
HEALTH CONSEQUENCES. INCREASING
FENCE LINE MONITORING OF THESE
WASTE WATER TREATMENT RELATED
EMISSIONS AS PROVIDED IN AB
TWELVE SIXTEEN WILL HELP EMPOWER
LOCAL RESIDENTS. THROUGH PUBLIC
ACCESS TO REAL TIME DATA AND
KEEP THEM INFORMED OF THE PUBLIC
EXPOSURE. AND THE ASSOCIATED
RISKS OF THESE EMISSIONS.

MANAGEMENT DISTRICT TO BE BETTER
INFORMED AND PROCEED WITH
APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO ADDRESS
AND REDUCE THE HARMFUL EMISSIONS

MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT A B.
FOURTEEN FORTY NINE FOR YOU HERE
TODAY. A. B. FOURTEEN FORTY NINE
IS AN IMPORTANT BILL THAT UNTIL
THE YEAR TWENTY THIRTY THREE
WOULD PROVIDE AN EXEMPTION FROM
THE SEQUEL PROCESS FOR A 100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS THAT
MEET. LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
RIGOROUS AND LABOR STANDARDS AND
SPECIFIC- ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS. AS YOU ALL KNOW
TOO WELL WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF
A HOUSING CRISIS WHICH NOT ONLY
RENDERS A STATE ON AFFORDABLE TO
A LARGE NUMBER OF LOW. AND
MIDDLE CLASS INDIVIDUALS BUT
ALSO COST THE STATE BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN ECONOMIC OUTPUT
ANNUALLY. ALL OF THE STUDIES AND
DATA TELL US THAT WE NEED TO
BUILD MILLIONS OF NEW HOMES. OF
OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS MUCH
QUICKER THAN WE DO NOW TO GET
OUT OF THE HOLE THAT WE HAVE
FOUND OURSELVES IN. DESPITE GOOD
INTENTIONS SEQUEL HAS PLAYED A
CONTRIBUTING ROLE IN THIS CRISIS
BY INHIBITING DEVELOPERS ABILITY
TO BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
PROJECTS IN A COST EFFECTIVE
EFFECTIVE WAY. A REPORT BY
BUSINESS ROUNDTABLE FOR EXAMPLE
FOUND THAT IN TWENTY TWENTY
NEARLY 50% OF ALL HOUSING
PRODUCTION THAT YEAR WAS
CHALLENGED UNDER SEQUEL. THE
LENGTHY AND EXPENSIVE SEQUEL
PROCESS AND THE EASE WITH WHICH
SOMEONE CAN ABUSE IT NEEDLESSLY
INCREASES THE COST AND THE
LENGTH OF HOUSING PROJECTS.
OFTEN RESULTING PROJECTS
BECOMING EITHER COST PROHIBITIVE
OR NEVER ACTUALLY HAPPENING.
RECOGNIZING HOUSING CRISIS WE
ARE IN AND WHICH IS A REAL LIFE
OR DEATH WITH REAL LIFE OR DEATH
CONSEQUENCES A. B. FOURTEEN

DIRECTOR FOR. PLANNING AND
CONSERVATION BLEAK- MARINA WILL

FOURTEEN FORTY NINE. CURRENT LAW
PROVIDES NUMEROUS PROTECTIONS
FOR PROPOSED AFFORDABLE AND
SUPPORTIVE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
SEEKING LOCAL APPROVAL INCLUDING
MANY BY RIGHT AND SEEK WHAT
EXEMPTIONS FOR CERTAIN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS.
UNFORTUNATELY THE EXISTING TOOLS
HAVE MANY LIMITATIONS AND
PREVENT ACCESS TO SPEAK WITH
STREAMLINING FOR MANY PROJECTS.
PARTICULARLY THOSE IN BERLIN
HIGH RESOURCE COMMUNITIES
ADDITIONALLY FOR THOSE
DEVELOPMENTS THAT MAY BE EXEMPT
FROM SEQUEL AS EITHER USED BY
RIGHT OR THREATENED OTHER
EXISTING CYCLIC SECTION ACTION
SUCH AS FUNDING IN PLANNING
DECISIONS. TAKEN BY THE LOCAL
AGENCY TO FUND THESE PROJECTS
ARE STILL BEING CHALLENGED IN A
SEQUIN CAUSE UNDUE DELAY. AB
FOURTEEN FORTY NINE REXAM
SEVERAL ACTIONS TAKEN BY LOCAL
AGENCIES IN FURTHERANCE OF A
100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING
INCLUDING PROJECT APPROVALS
WHILE ENSURING YOU DEVELOPMENTS
ARE IN CLIMATE FRIENDLY INFILL
SITES AND MEET CERTAIN
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS.
UNLIKE OTHER STREAMLINING TOOLS
AB FOURTEEN FORTY NINE DOES NOT
OVERRIDE LOCAL ZONING DECISIONS
ARE DEVELOPMENT APPROVALS THE
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS STILL RETAINS
