TODAY TO PRESENT AB TWENTY EIGHT
A BILL THAT WILL FUND LIFESAVING
SCHOOL SAFETY MEASURES AND GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION PROGRAMS.
THREE MODEST EXCISE TAX ON
FIREARM MANUFACTURERS AND
DEALERS. AS YOU MAY KNOW THAT
ACCORDING TO THE CDC GUN
VIOLENCE IS NOW THE LEADING
CAUSE OF DEATH FOR CHILDREN THE
UNITED STATES. CORNER CDC MORE
CHILDREN WERE KILLED BY GUNS IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE THAN ANY YEAR
IN THE PAST TWENTY YEARS. THE
PARENTS OF A BLACKS ON AGES
THIRTEEN TO NINETEEN ARE MORE
LIKELY TO LOSE THEIR CHILD TO
GUN HOMICIDE. THAN EVERY OTHER
CAUSE OF DEATH COMBINED. IN
ADDITION TO ITS BRUTAL HOME
HUMAN TOLD VIOLENCE CAUSES
ENORMOUS. HARM AND SUPPORT
OPPOSE SEVERE BURDENS ON
TAXPAYERS AND ON THE PUBLIC.
RECENT REPORTS HAVE FOUND A GUN
DEATHS AND INJURIES COST
CALIFORNIA TWENTY TWO POINT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. OF
WHICH ONE POINT TWO BILLION IS
PAID DIRECTLY BY TAXPAYERS. AT
THE SAME TIME GUN MANUFACTURERS
HAVE RECORDED RECORD BREAKING
PROFITS BRAGGING THAT THE GROWTH
THEY HAVE EXPERIENCE IN RECENT
YEARS HAS BEEN QUOTE NOTHING
SHORT OF REMARKABLE. THE TWENTY
TWENTY TO REPORT DOCUMENTED A
210069% INCREASE IN THE FIREARM
AND AMMUNITION INDUSTRY'S.
ESTIMATED ECONOMIC IMPACT. IN
SHORT FIREARM INTIMATE
MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS ARE
REPORT ARE REAPING UNPRECEDENTED
WINDFALL PROFITS. AT THE SAME
TIME THAT FIREARM DEATHS GUN
INJURIES AND MASS SHOOTINGS ARE
DEVASTATING COMMUNITIES ACROSS
OUR STATE. AB TWENTY EIGHT SIX
TO ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE BY
CREATING A LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE
FUNDING SOURCE TO FUND SCHOOL
SAFETY. AND PROVEN VIOLENCE
PREVENTION MEASURES TO PROTECT
KIDS IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. THE REVENUE
GENERATED BY THIS BILL WHICH IS
ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND A HUNDRED
SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
IT'S A LONG TERM INVESTMENT IN
THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF
EVERY CALIFORNIANS. THE FUNDS
GENERATED ON THIS BILL WILL BE
ALLOCATED TO THE CALIFORNIA
VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND
PREVENTION GRANT PROGRAM KNOWN
AS CALVET. WHICH HAS ALREADY
HELP TO REDUCE THE RATE OF GUN
VIOLENCE IN CALIFORNIA. FUNDS
ALSO BE ALLOCATED TO EXPAND
SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
MEASURES BOLSTER LAW ENFORCEMENT
INVESTIGATIONS IN CLEARANCE
RATES FOR PHARMACYTE'S. SUPPORT
COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY MASS
SHOOTINGS AND GUN VIOLENCE AND
IMPROVE FIREARM RELINQUISHMENT
PROGRAMS TO TAKE GUNS AWAY FROM
DOMESTIC ABUSERS AND OTHER
PROHIBITED PERSONS. TO BE CLEAR
THIS BILL IS NOT A PENALTY OR AN
EFFORT TO PREVENT OR DISCOURAGE
LIGHT LAWFUL FARM SALES. RATHER
AIMS TO CREATE A SUSTAINABLE
FUNDING SOURCE FOR PROGRAMS THAT
ARE PROVEN TO REDUCE GUN
VIOLENCE AND SAVE LIVES. THE
FACT OF THE MATTER IS THAT
CALIFORNIANS ARE COUNTING ON US
TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP
THEM SAFE FROM MASS SHOOTINGS
AND GUN VIOLENCE. THEY'RE
COUNTING ON US TO EXHAUST EVERY
EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT THEIR
CHILDREN DO NOT LIVE IN FEAR AT
SCHOOL AT CHURCH AT THEIR LOCAL
PARK OR ANYWHERE ELSE THAT THEY
MAY BE AT RISK BECAUSE OF GUN
VIOLENCE. AB TWENTY EIGHT AND
THE PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES
THAT WILL FUND ARE CENTRAL TO
THAT EFFORT. I'M PROUD THAT THIS
BILL SUPPORTED BY COLLATION OF
GUN SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS
INCLUDING MOMS DEMAND ACTION
GIFFORDS EVERYTOWN FOR GUN
SAFETY AND MARCH FOR OUR LIVES.
AS WELL AS PUBLIC HEALTH AND
MEDICAL OFFICIALS WHO HAVE BEEN
SERVING ON THE FRONT LINES OF
OUR GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC IN
EMERGENCY ROOMS AND TRAUMA
CENTERS. THAT INCLUDES THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS THE NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION OF PEDIATRIC NURSE
PRACTITIONERS AMERICA'S

SOLUTIONS WE KNOW WHERE TO

EIGHT IS THE CHANGE THAT I. MY
FRIENDS AND MY CLASSMATES NEED

TIME TODAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. GOOD
MORNING MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS MIKE
MIKE LIVELY ON THE POLICY
DIRECTOR OF THE GIFFORDS CENTER
FOR VIOLENCE INTERVENTION.
DIFFERENCE IS A NATIONAL GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION ORGANIZATION
NAMED AFTER FORMER CONGRESSWOMAN
GABBY GIFFORDS WHO WAS SHOT IN
THE HEAD IN TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN
WHILE HOSTING AN EVENT FOR A
CONSTITUENTS IN TUCSON ARIZONA.
I SPEECH HERE TODAY NOT JUST ON
BEHALF OF GIFFORD'S BEEN ABOUT
FOR THE DOZENS OF ORGANIZATIONS
AND AGENCIES AND HUNDREDS OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE PART OF OUR
CALVET COALITION WHICH IS THE
NATION'S LARGEST COALITION
DEDICATED TO ADDRESSING
COMMUNITY VIOLENCE. OUR TOP
PRIORITY THIS YEAR IS THE
PASSAGE OF ASSEMBLY BILL TWENTY
EIGHT. AND THE REASON FOR THAT
IS A CONVERGENCE OF TWO TRENDS
ONE IS AS YOU'VE HEARD. THE
INCREDIBLE INCREASE IN VIOLENCE
THAT WE'VE SEEN HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE NATION
SINCE THE ONSET OF THE COBIT
EPIDEMIC. AND THE SECOND IS THE
RECORD PROFITS THAT THE GUN
INDUSTRY HAS SEEN AS GUN SALES
HAVE INCREASED. AT THE SAME TIME
THAT GUN VIOLENCE IS INCREASING
IN OUR STATE. AND I'M HERE TO
SAY THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH OUR POLICIES THEY HAVE BEEN
WORKING VERY EFFECTIVELY SINCE
THE NINETIES WHEN WE STARTED
IMPROVING OUR GUN SAFETY LAWS.
GUN HOMICIDE AND SUICIDE RATES
IN CALIFORNIA HAVE PLUMMETED
WHILE THEY'VE INCREASED
NATIONWIDE AND OTHER STATES WHEN
YOU COMPARE US TO RECKLESS TO
TEXAS. WE HAVE LOWER GUN DEATH
RATES LOWER GUN HOMICIDE RATES
AND LOWER GUN SUICIDE RATES AND
THAT IS NO MISTAKE OUR POLICIES
ARE WORKING BUT WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THEM. AND
THAT IS WHY WE ARE SUPPORTING AB
TWENTY EIGHT WHICH REPLACE A
MODEST 11% EXCISE TAX. ON THE
SALE OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION
AND WOULD DIRECT THOSE REVENUE
WAS APPROXIMATELY A HUNDRED AND
SIXTY MILLION DOLLARS. TO THE
GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION HEALING
AND RECOVERY FUND. WHICH WOULD
FIND AS YOU'VE HEARD CALVET
WHICH IS HELP REDUCE VIOLENCE IN
OUR COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE
STATE. AS WELL AS RELINQUISHMENT
PROGRAMS THAT WILL HELP KEEP
FIREARMS OUT OF THE HANDS OF
DOMESTIC ABUSERS. IMPROVE OUR
SCHOOL SAFETY. AND ALSO INCREASE
THE HOMICIDE CLEARANCE RATE IN
OUR CITIES WHICH IS AN
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT PART OF
REDUCING VIOLENCE. THIS TAX IS
REASONABLE AND IT'S MODEST. WHEN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WANTS TO
PREVENT SOMEONE FROM PURCHASING
PRODUCT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
CONSIDER THAT THE EXCISE TAX ON
THE SALE OF CERTAIN TOBACCO
PRODUCTS IN THE STATE IS AS HIGH
AS SIXTY PERCENT. AND HERE WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT 11% EXCISE TAX.
THIS NEAR THE TAX AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL WHICH HAS BEEN PRAISED BY
THE FARM INDUSTRY ITSELF. AND
THEY'VE APPLAUDED IT AS
SOMETHING THAT HAS HELPED
CONSERVE WILDLIFE WHICH IS WHAT
THE FEDERAL EXCISE TAX DOES. AND
TO THAT WE SAY IF THE INDUSTRY
CAN GET BEHIND PROTECTING
WILDLIFE IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO
GET BEHIND RESOURCES TO PROTECT
HUMAN LIFE. AS YOU HEARD FROM
ALEX THIS IS IMPACTING OUR
COMMUNITIES EVERY SINGLE DAY.
AND THIS IS WHAT AB TWENTY IS
DESIGNED TO DO AND CLOSE IN.
CREATE STABLE REVENUE FOR A
SUITE OF PROGRAMS THAT WE KNOW
WILL SAVE LIVES AND MAKE OUR
COMMUNITY SAFER. IT'S A WAR THAN
REASONABLE TO ASK THE INDUSTRY.
TO PAY A MODEST SHARE OF ITS
RECORD PROFITS. TO HELP KEEP OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFER. AND IN DOING
SO SAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS
THOUSANDS OF LIVES AND PREVENT
THOUSANDS MORE FROM BEING SHOT
AND INJURED IN THE STATE. NO
OTHER INDUSTRY IS SUBJECT TO THE
SAME PROTECTIONS IN THIS
COUNTRY. AND WE CAN ONCE AGAIN
LEAD THE NATION WHEN IT COMES TO
PUTTING PUBLIC SAFETY ABOVE
PROFITS. WE URGE YOU TO PASS AB
TWENTY OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I NEGLECTED
TO- TO EXPLAIN THAT WE ALLOWED
TO LEAD WITNESSES. TWO MINUTES
EACH AND THEN AFTERWARDS WILL

OPPOSITION- AND WILL DO THE SAME
THING ON THE TELE TELECONFERENCE

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND
CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER.
LOCASTRO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELL MAN I'M TERM MEMBER SAMPRAS
REPRESENTING GUN OWNERS
CALIFORNIA. AND THE CALIFORNIA
RIFLE AND PISTOL ASSOCIATION I
WANT TO START OFF MY COMMENTS BY
ADDRESSING SOMETHING THAT THE
AUTHOR. POINTED OUT AND OFTEN.
QUOTED MYTH THAT CHILDREN ARE
NOW THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF. GUN
VIOLENCE IS NOW THE NUMBER ONE
CAUSE OF DEATH IN CHILDREN AS A
MATTER OF FACT. THAT CAME FROM
ONE STUDY CONDUCTED IN MICHIGAN.
THAT HAS NOW BEEN- USED BY THE
MEDIA AND EVEN THE CDC UNDER
POLITICAL. PRESSURE THE FACT OF
THE MATTER IS THAT THEY INCLUDE
EIGHTEEN AND NINETEEN YEAR OLDS
IN THAT SURVEY AND THOSE
EIGHTEEN AND NINETEEN YEAR OLDS
CONSTITUTE FORTY SEVEN POINT 4%
OF ALL VIOLENCE COMMITTED WITH
GUNS. SO IF YOU TAKE OUT
EIGHTEEN AND NINETEEN YEAR OLDS
THAT WE DO NOT CONSIDER. YOUTH
THE- NUMBER IS GREATLY REDUCED
AS A MATTER OF FACT IF YOU GO
FURTHER INTO THE CDC'S
INFORMATION YOU WILL FIND THAT
THEY QUOTE THAT. APPROXIMATELY A
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO HUNDRED
AND TEN. YOUTH ARE INADVERTENTLY
KILLED EVERY YEAR AND THAT'S WAY
TOO MUCH AND WE'RE WORKING TO
PREVENT EVEN THAT BUT THE FACT
OF THE MATTER IS THAT GUN
VIOLENCE IS NOT THE NUMBER ONE
CAUSE. OF THE DEATH IN CHILDREN
THAT IS A FACT NUMBER TWO THE
AUTHOR POINTED OUT THAT THAT-
TAXING. TOBACCO WILL MOST
PUNITIVE IN ORDER TO DISCOURAGE
YOU WITH ITS USE THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS THE SECOND AMENDMENT.
IS NOT A PRIVILEGE LIKE SMOKING
. OR USE TOBACCO IT IS A
CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHT
. A RIGHT THAT YOU CANNOT PUT A
PRECURSOR ON. THE MAP AND
DEMANDING A PRECURSOR BEFORE
SOMEBODY EXERCISES THAT
CONSTITUTIONALLY ENUMERATED
RIGHTS THE PRE EXISTED. THE BILL
A BILL OF RIGHTS IN OUR
CONSTITUTION- WHAT THE AUTHOR
TALKED ABOUT THE PITTMAN
ROBERTSON. EXCISE TAX THAT. HAS
BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG LONG TIME
IT IS FUNDED WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
AND ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. THE ONLY REASON THAT IT
CONTINUES TO EXIST IS BECAUSE IT
HAS NOT BEEN CHALLENGED. THIS
BILL. WILL ENCOURAGE US OR GIVE
US THE- DRIVE TO CHALLENGE
EXCISE TAXES. ON THE EXERCISING
OF A CONSTITUTIONALLY ENUMERATED
RIGHT. THAT MEANS THAT AS WELL
AS THIS LAW NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT
OF DAY. BECAUSE THE COURTS HAVE
ALREADY RULED YOU CANNOT TAX INC
YOU CANNOT TAX PENS YOU CANNOT
TAX PAPER. AND IN THE MODERN ERA
YOU CANNOT TAX COMPUTERS OR OR
OTHER MODERN EQUIPMENT THAT IS
USED TO EXERCISE FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHTS. THE SAME IS TRUE WITH
THE SECOND AMENDMENT. SO WE DO
NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS LAW WILL
EVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY IF
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT WE AGREE.
IS VERY IMPORTANT CALVET PROGRAM
AND ALL OF THE NUMEROUS OTHER
PROGRAMS THAT EXIST OUT THERE.
NEED TO BE FUNDED AT LEAST TO BE
FUNDED BY THE ENTIRE POPULACE OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA BECAUSE
EVERYBODY HAS AN INTEREST WHAT
THIS DOES IS IT ASSIGNS BLAME.
TO THE LAWFUL GUN OWNERS WHO USE
LEGALLY PURCHASED FIREARMS AND
AMMUNITION. THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL IS DOING IS SAYING HEY IT'S
YOUR FAULT YOU'RE GOING TO PAY
FOR IT. NO MATTER HOW LAUDABLE
THE GOALS ARE. SO WE'RE WE'RE
WERE. IN OPPOSITION TO THAT NOT
AGAINST ANY OF THE LAUDABLE
PROGRAMMES I'M SPEAKING TO YOU
IS A TWO TIME VICTIM OF GUN
VIOLENCE INCLUDE A BANK ROBBERY
AND HOME INVASION. AND WE HAVE
BETWEEN ONE POINT FIVE AND THREE
MILLION TIMES A YEAR LAWFUL
CITIZENS USE GUNS. TO
SUCCESSFULLY DEFEND THEMSELVES.
AND BY ADDING ANOTHER EXCISE TAX
YOU ARE LIMITING. THOSE THAT ARE
THE MOST NEEDY FOR BEING ABLE TO
AVAIL THEMSELVES OF FIREARMS FOR
SELF DEFENSE. YOUR PRICING THEM
OUT. YOU'RE SAYING YOU KNOW YOU
LIVE IN EAST LA WHERE I GREW UP.
HEY IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE FOR YOU
TO BUY A GUN RELY ON THE
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. IT'S NOT
THE WAY OUR CONSTITUTION WORKS
THAT'S NOT THE WAY OUR RIGHTS
WORK EACH OF US HAVE AN
INDIVIDUAL RIGHT. AND
RESPONSIBILITY TO BE OUR OWN
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE BECAUSE
WHEN YOU NEED A POLICE OFFICER.
RIGHT NOW THERE ARE FIVE MINUTES
AWAY. AND A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN
FIVE MINUTES. SO WE CALL INTO
QUESTION THE CONSTITUTIONALITY
OF THIS BILL. WE AGREE THAT
EXCISE TAXES ARE NOW ALL. GOING
TO GO AWAY. WHEN WE GO TO COURT
COURTS ARE ALREADY CLEAR. ON
PUTTING PRECURSORS ON THE
EXERCISING OF AN ENUMERATED
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. IF ANYBODY
HAS ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE
THINGS THAT I'VE I'VE I POINTED
OUT I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM
WHEN THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- WE REALLY
HOPE THAT YOU WILL TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THESE ISSUES. THIS LAW
WILL BE CHALLENGED AND I AM
1100% CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL BE
VICTORIOUS IN COURT TO FIND IT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THERE
ANYONE ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK
IN OPPOSITION. THESE ARE THE ME

WEAK SAUCE OF THE QUEUE. RIGHT
IT TURNED INTO MISTER CHAIR BUT-
THAT'S OKAY- SO NOW WE'RE GONNA
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS-
INSTANCE SENATOR DOLLY NEEDS TO.
WELL THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND- THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FOR BRINGING THE BILL FLORIDA. I
HAVE- THIS MEANS COMMENTS AND
NOT REALLY MUCH OF A QUESTION I
WANT TO START OUT BY SAYING
FIRST TO- ALL THOSE WHO CAME AND
SPENT TIME HERE TO TESTIFY I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY
AND UNDERSTAND- WHERE YOU COME
FROM AND WHY YOU'RE DOING WHAT
YOU DO AND SO I WANT TO SAY
THAT- IN THIS BILL THERE'S SOME
THINGS I DO HAVE ISSUE WITH IT
MAINLY FIRST OF ALL THE PROGRAMS
THAT YOU WANT TO FIND. I HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THAT I THINK THAT
WE SHOULD FIND THAT AND AS A
FARM OWNER WE PAY A TAX- WHEN WE
PURCHASED OUR FOR OUR FIREARMS
AND WE WHEN WE DO THE BACKGROUND
CHECKS AND ALL THE THINGS IN
THERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO WE HAD.
ABOUT TWO BILLS HE WAS TWO
MILLION DOLLARS AND BASICALLY
WHEN YOU BUY IT PURCHASE A
FIREARM I THINK IT'S FIFTY
DOLLARS FOR THE BACKGROUND CHECK
IN AND OUT OF THAT FIFTY DOLLARS
IT REALLY ONLY TOOK LIKE TWENTY
ONE DOLLARS TO DO THE BACKGROUND
CHECK AND IT WAS EXTRA RESOURCES
AVAILABLE. AND WE BROUGHT FORTH
THE OPPORTUNITY MAYBE USE THAT
MONEY TO ACTUALLY GO AFTER FOR
FOLKS WHO ILLEGALLY OWNED
FIREARMS IN CALIFORNIA AND THE
MONEY WAS TAKEN AND PUT INTO THE
GENERAL FUND SO I. I WANT TO
JUST STATE THAT WE'VE BEEN
WORKING ON TRYING TO. FIND SOME
OF THESE PROGRAMS THAT YOU'RE
PUT FORWARD BUT- QUITE FRANKLY
THE LEADERSHIP DID NOT SEE FIT
TO SEND SPEND THAT MONEY ON TO
PROGRAMS THAT. YOU'RE TRYING TO
FIND OUT. AND RECENTLY I'VE I.
WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK THAT
WE'RE WE ARE STEPPING ON KIND OF
SHAKY GROUND WE- LOOK AT A
COMPANY OR COMPANIES PROFITS AND
THEN. DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY
SHOULD BE. USING THAT MONEY TO
DO WHATEVER WE'RE WE SAW TAX-
PROFIT TAX THIS YEAR- THE
GOVERNOR PROPOSED ON. ON OIL
COMPANIES AND YOU KNOW WE DON'T
GO AFTER- COMPANIES LIKE APPLE
AND GOOGLE THAT ARE MAKING
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN PROFITS-
TO FIND THINGS IN THE- AND-
OTHER THINGS WE GO AFTER. JUST
THE ONES THAT ARE SELECTED SO I
THINK THAT. THAT THAT'S NOT
APPROPRIATE I THINK WE SHOULD BE
LOOKING AT WAYS TO- FUND. THE
THINGS THAT WE WANT TO DO-
THROUGH THE WHOLE POPULATION OF
CALIFORNIA. AND SO I THINK
THAT'S SOMETHING CRITICAL THE
OTHER THING I WANTED TO TOUCH OF
THAT'S IN THE BILL IS THAT
YOU'RE GONNA BE TAXING. THINGS
LIKE A BONE ARROWS IN YOUR AND
THE IN THE PART WHERE THE
RETAILERS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT. HOW THEY'RE GOING TO
DO THOSE TRANSACTIONS ACTUALLY
THE TAXES IS PROBLEMATIC AS
WELL. BUT FOR THE MOST PART I
JUST WANT TO SAY THAT. THE
FRUSTRATION I HAVE IS THAT YOU
KNOW IT'S AWESOME TO SEE THIS
MANY PEOPLE HERE WHEN IT WE TALK
ABOUT. FIREARMS BUT IN THE PAST
COUPLE OF WEEKS- WE BROUGHT
BILLS FOR ON FENNEL FIVE
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND- SIXTY
ONE PEOPLE DIED OF FENTANYL. AND
WE TRY TO DO A BIT BILL FOR
FENNEL AND NOTHING NO NO THIS
ROOM WAS EMPTY. AND THE
LEADERSHIP OF THIS. SENATE AND
ASSEMBLY DECIDED NOT TO HEAR
THOSE BILLS. AND THAT THAT TO ME
IS JUST THE PARKER SEE WHAT
HAPPENS HERE IN CALIFORNIA IT'S
ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE AND TAXING.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE FIREARMS FINE.
AND LET'S LET'S NARROW DOWN THIS
FIGURE OUT WE'RE GONNA SPEND THE
MONEY BUT THE AT THE SAME TIME
WE SHOULD BE. LOOKING AT THE
WHOLE BROAD THING OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING HERE CALIFORNIA'S
FARMERS. AS DEATHS TO OUR YOUTH
AND TO. THE PEOPLE. AND THE
OTHER THING I WANT TO COOK
COMMENT ON IS THAT. YOU KNOW. I
THINK THE OPPOSITION BROUGHT OUT
A GOOD POINT WE HAVE A
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO. BEAR
ARMS. AND DO WE HAVE GUN
VIOLENCE IN CALIFORNIA. THIS
NATION ABSOLUTELY IS IT TRAGIC
IT IS- BUT I THINK WE CAN DO A
BETTER WAY OF FUNDING THESE
PROGRAMS. WITHOUT DOING. IT ON
THE BACKS OF THOSE. THAT PEOPLE
ARE DOING SPORTING. A AND THE
LAW. AND I THINK THAT WE- NEVER
IT DOWN. THE THING THAT ARE OUT
REALLY CAUSE A PROBLEM BOWS AND
ARROWS AREN'T THE THINGS THAT
ARE. ARE CAUSING. DEATH IN
CALIFORNIA SO I WON'T BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL TODAY I'M
ASSUMING THIS BILL GETS OUT AND
IS GOING TO GO TO THE GOVERNOR I
HAVE NO. REASON TO BELIEVE IT
WON'T- AND I'M SORRY THAT I
CAN'T HANG AROUND I HAVE. I'M
THE VICE CHAIR OF EQ. DEAR THE
REST TO TEST ONE IN THERE
WAITING FOR ME OVER THERE I BUT
I WANTED TO COME AND MAKE THOSE
COMMENTS. AND ALSO JUST MAKE
SURE THAT THE- THE FOLKS THE
MOMS THAT ARE HERE I UNDERSTAND
WHERE YOU'RE AT- LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU AND MAYBE A
BETTER SOLUTION- AS WE GO
FORWARD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GO AHEAD YEAH OKAY SORRY. WELL
THANK YOU- FIRST I'D LIKE TO
THANK THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD I AM A
PROUD CO AUTHOR ON THIS BILL.
AND I KNOW THERE ARE A DIVERSITY
OF OPINIONS IN THIS ROOM FROM MY
COLLEAGUES AND- FROM THE
TESTIMONY WE HEARD. BUT TO ME
THIS SEEMS LIKE. A VERY
REASONABLE AND EVEN MODEST AS
YOU DESCRIBED A MODEST SHARE OF
RECORD PROFITS. WE KNOW THAT WE
HAVE AN EPIDEMIC OF GUN VIOLENCE
IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN THE STATE
AND THAT WE ARE SAFER IN THE
STATE BECAUSE OF OUR GUN SAFETY
LAWS. THERE'S MUCH WE CAN DO.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PIECES
OF THE PUZZLE. SO MAKING SURE
THAT WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS-
IS REALLY CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.
I JUST WANNA. SAY THAT. I AM
DEEPLY GRATEFUL FOR THE MOMS
DEMAND ACTION IN THE STUDENTS
DEMAND ACTION AND GIFFORDS AND
EVERYTOWN AND- MARCH FOR OUR
LIVES. THE VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE
HERE WHO SHOW UP AGAIN AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN ON EVERY GUN SAFETY
BILL MAKES SUCH A DIFFERENCE AND
IT REALLY SHOWS THE COMMITMENT.
OF OUR CONSTITUENCY FOR CHANGE
AND WE NEED THAT IN ORDER TO
CONTINUE TO HAVE THE MOMENTUM
FOR CHANGE. ALSO I WANT TO SAY A
BIG THANK YOU- AND I ALSO WANT
TO JUST RECOGNIZE THAT YOU- HAD
TO EXCELLENTLY WITNESSES VERY
PERSUASIVE. VERY VERY USEFUL AND
I APPRECIATE THEM TAKING THE
TIME TO COME AS WELL. THIS WILL
NOT AFFECT PARTICIPATION IN
SPORTS TEAMS ARE RECREATIONAL
CLUBS REALLY IN ANYWAY- AND IT
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE TO ME THAT
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE OTHER
THINGS WE HAVE EXCISE TAXES ON
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT
CIGARETTES AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES MOTOR
VEHICLES DIESEL FUELS CANNABIS
ARE CHAIR- SHE ALSO HAD A BILL
TWO YEARS AGO WHICH- IMPOSED A
TAX ON CONSUMERS OF ELECTRONIC
CIGARETTES. COLLECTED BY
RETAILERS. AND SO WHAT WHAT THIS
MONEY WILL GO TOWARD ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT PROGRAMS. SO VIOLENCE
PREVENTION PROGRAMS. GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION EDUCATION
GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION RESEARCH
PROGRAMS WILL SAFETY MEASURES-
PROGRAMS REMEDIATING THE HARMFUL
AFFECTS OF GUNFIRE. SUPPORTING
VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE ALL OF
THOSE THINGS NEED A REVENUE
STREAM THAT IS CONSISTENT AND
ONGOING AND THIS IS A REALLY
CRITICAL PIECE OF THAT. SO I
JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU AND I
AM AN ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORTER AND
WHEN IT COMES TIME ALL MOVE
THIS. YEAR THANK YOU. THE
STRUGGLE NO. ALL RIGHT THAT
LEAVES ME- ONE OF WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION LOLA. SHE'S STILL IN
THE BUILDING HERE HELLO I HAVE A
COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU QUICK.
I MEAN TO PUT YOU ON THE SPOT
HERE. SO LOW YOU'RE A
COMPETITIVE SHOOTER CORRECT. YES
SIR AND YOU HAVE HOW MANY
CHAMPIONSHIP MEDALS- I BROUGHT
FIVE WITH ME TODAY FIVE YEARS
AND THERE ARE EIGHT BRONZE
MEDALS OR SILVER- THERE ALL GOLD
THEY'RE ALL GOLD MEDALS. SO SOME
DAY YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL. TO
REPRESENT THE UNITED STATES IN
THE OLYMPICS YES SIR THAT'S WHAT
I THAT'S MY MAIN GOAL YOUR MAIN
GOAL OLYMPIAN ALL RIGHT SO. HOW
OFTEN YOU HAVE TO SHOOT EVERY
YEAR HOW MUCH PRACTICE DO YOU
NEED TO DO EVERY WEEK. I DURING
DURING THE WEEK I PRACTICE THREE
TO FOUR THREE TO FOUR DAYS A
WEEK AND BECAUSE IT'S SUMMER
I'VE BEEN PRACTICING EVERY
MORNING. OKAY AND WHEN YOU
PRACTICE OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE TO
SHOOT AMMUNITION CURRENT CODE
SKEETS AND SO THAT'S AN EXPENSE
WITH ATTACKS LIKE THIS. HOW MUCH
IS IT GOING TO COST YOU MORE. TO
TRY TO PRACTICE YOUR SUPPORT SO
YOU CAN REPRESENT US IN THE
OLYMPICS SUNDAY. ME WITH MY
GIRLS IT'LL RANGE FROM- AN
INCREASE OF THREE HUNDRED TO
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A WEEK.
CAKE IS THAT SO THAT SUBSTANTIAL
AND THAT AT THAT WILL ACTUALLY
HELP. OUR THAT'LL PROBABLY CAUSE
SOME OF YOUR TEAMMATES NOT TO BE
ABLE TO AFFORD TO STAY INTO THE
SKEET SHOOTING. CORRECT IT'LL BE
VERY HARD FOR US TO STAY IN OUR
SPORT. I SEE. ALL RIGHT WELL I
APPRECIATE THAT- YOU YOU CAME
HERE TO SPEAK- TO LET PEOPLE
KIND OF SEE THAT THERE'S OTHER
SIDES TO THIS JUST BESIDES. THE
GUN VIOLENCE FOLKS SO THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR COMING OUT AND I
HAVE A FEW MORE COMMENTS- YOU
THREE TIMES ALL RIGHT. SO. MY
COMMENTS KIND OF REVOLVE AROUND
. THE ISSUE OF A YOU KNOW YOU
THERE IS GUN VIOLENCE IN THIS IN
THE UNITED STATES WE EVERYBODY
AGREES WITH THAT THERE'S NOT ONE
PERSON. IN THIS ROOM INCLUDING
THE OPPOSITION TO THIS
PARTICULAR BILL. WHO DOESN'T
AGREE THAT WE CAN HAVE PROGRAMS
THAT ARE EXTREMELY VALUABLE. OR
HOPEFULLY WILL HAVE AN IMPACT.
ON ON- VIOLENCE THAT IS TAKING
THE LIVES OF. NOT JUST YOUNG
PEOPLE BUT- LOTS OF PEOPLE. AND
. THIS REDUCTION PROGRAMS. WE
WERE WE IN FACT THIS BILL IS NOT
OLD THIS IS NOT A BRAND NEW BILL
THIS DISABILITY BEEN RUN BEFORE
. AND THE FIRST TIME WE TALKED
ABOUT IT- WE ALSO AT THE SAME
TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. WHAT
WE DO WITH THIRTY HAD THIRTY
EIGHT AND A HALF BILLION EXTRA
DOLLARS. THAT WE HAD EXTRACTED
FROM THE GENERAL PUBLIC. AND
THEN THE NEXT YEAR WE WERE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO
WITH THE NINETY SEVEN AND A HALF
BILLION DOLLARS. THEY WERE
EXTRACTED FROM THE PUBLIC. AND
THESE PROGRAMS. WE'RE NOT
IMPORTANT ENOUGH. TO BE FUNDED.
WELL THEY WERE AND THEY GOT FUND
. THANKFULLY. THIS IS A SOCIETAL
PROBLEM AND IT'S UP TO EVERYBODY
. TO PARTICIPATE IN TRYING. TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT ARE
CREATING NOT JUST GUN VIOLENCE.
IT MIND YOU IT'S NOT JUST GUN
VIOLENCE THAT. I HAD TO DEAL
WITH. I HAD PEOPLE THAT DIED A
LOT OF STABBINGS. SO NICE. ARE
WE HAD. PEOPLE USING SHOVELS-
USING SLEDGEHAMMERS WHERE ICE
PACK OR TWO. THERE WAS LOTS OF
WAYS THAT PEOPLE WERE BEING
VIOLENT AGAINST OTHERS AND
KILLING THEM. AND SO IT IS
TRYING TO FERRET OUT. AND TAX
ONE SEGMENT. OF THE POPULATION.
FOR SOMETHING THAT I HAVE
NOTHING MORE TO DO THAN ANYBODY
ELSE IN THIS ROOM HAS TO DO WITH
. THAT'S AN UNFAIR TAX AND
THAT'S WHAT THIS THIS BODY
TODAY. THIS IS NOT THE PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMITTEE. THIS IS GOT IN
FINANCE AND THAT'S HOW WE
FINANCE THINGS. WE DON'T NEED TO
UNFAIRLY TAX A SMALL PORTION OF
THE POPULATION. TO ADDRESS AN
ISSUE. THAT THEY HAVE REALLY
NOTHING TO DO S. LIKE I SAID
NOTHING MORE TO DO WITH IT THAN
ANY OF AS A PERSON IN THIS ROOM.
AND CERTAINLY THIS PARTICULAR
BILL THE DOES THAT IS NOT GOING
TO HAVE ANY IMPACT WHATSOEVER ON
GUN VIOLENCE. AND THAT'S ONE OF
THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE. IS WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE
DO IS WE ENSURE THAT WE'RE
SPENDING MONEY IN THE AREAS THAT
WILL HAVE THE IMPACT. ON GUN
VIOLENCE. AND ONE OF THE THINGS
WE DID IN OUR BUDGET SOME FIVE
THIS YEAR'S WE MOVED MONEY AWAY
FROM A PROGRAM THAT WAS FAILING
THAT WAS NOT WORKING. IT WAS A
GUN BUY BACK PROGRAM. AND ALL
THE STATS IN CALIFORNIA SHOWED
IT WAS NOT WORKING. SO WE MOVED
OUT MONEY. INTO AN ACCOUNT. TO
HELP THEM. ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
THE TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE.
WHO ARE PROHIBITED NON
PROHIBITED PERSONS ARE CARRYING
GUNS. THEY'RE OUT THERE. AND
THAT MONEY INSTEAD GOT FUNNELED
INTO THAT ACCOUNT SO THAT THEY
COULD START GOING AFTER PEOPLE
WHO ARE THE PROBLEM. SOME OF
THESE PEOPLE ARE A 100% OF THE
PROBLEM AND THESE PEOPLE ARE
ZERO. AND ALL YOUR EFFORTS. ARE
ON THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ZERO.
YOU'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE A
100% OF THE PROBLEM. SO THAT'S
WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS WE CAN
FIND THIS PROGRAM. ALTHOUGH
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT OUR
DEFICIT WE ARE STILL GOING TO
SPAN ARE WE STILL HAVE IN OUR
BUDGET THREE HUNDRED ELEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS. SO WE CAN'T
CARVE OUT. A HUNDRED MILLION OR
TWO HUNDRED MILLION. TO ADDRESS
THIS STUFF WITH ALL OF THESE
PROGRAMS WELL FUNDED. AND FOLKS
ARE PRIORITIES ARE IN THE WRONG
PLACE. BECAUSE ALTHOUGH FOR THAT
EVERY SINGLE DAY BECAUSE I WANT
THESE PROGRAMS TO WORK NOT JUST
FOR GUN VIOLENCE BUT FOR ALL
VIOLENCE. BECAUSE MOST OF THIS
VIOLENCE TAKES PLACE IN
COMMUNITIES. THAT ARE. THAT ARE
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND IT'S
REALLY CONCENTRATED IN SOME OF
THOSE AND THOSE ARE SERVE DOES
IT COMMUNITIES THAT I USED TO
SERVE. AS I'VE SEEN IT FIRST
HAND. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON. THE
PARTS THEY'RE BROKEN THE PARTS
THAT WE CAN MAKE AN IMPACT ON.
AND I DON'T SEE THIS. DOING THAT
. ANYMORE THEN. GEN I MEAN I
JUST DON'T SEE THIS THIS HAVING
THAT EFFECT ON ON THE GUN
VIOLENCE ISSUE. SO WE ARE WITH
YOU. WE WANT THIS TO GO AWAY. WE
WANT GUN VIOLENCE TO BE
ADDRESSED. BUT WE'RE NOT DOING
THE THINGS THAT WILL MAKE IT GO
AWAY INSTEAD WE ARE FOCUSED ON
THINGS THAT MAKE YOU THINK WERE
ADDRESSING IT. BUT WE REALLY
AREN'T. AND THAT'S THAT'S MY
ISSUE WITH THIS. FROM A FINANCE
PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE THE FINANCES
TO DO. FUND THOSE THINGS AND
THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE USING
IT FOR WE SHOULD PRIORITIZE
THAT. SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS
EVERYBODY IN HERE IS ASKING FOR
IS ARE FUNDED AND WE CONTINUE TO
TRY TO. MAKE A DENT ON THIS
ISSUE. SO I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS
BILL I DIDN'T SUPPORT IT LAST
YEAR AND IN SUPPORT OF THE YEAR
BEFORE. AND THAT'S WHY BECAUSE
IT IS UNFAIR. AND AND UNTIL WE
FIND UNTIL WE FIND THE FORTITUDE
. TO DO THE THINGS THAT ARE THE
RIGHT THINGS TO REDUCE AND
THAT'S TO GO AFTER THE PEOPLE
WHO SHOULDN'T HAVE GUNS. BUT WE
WON'T EVEN ENFORCE THOSE LAWS.
THAT'S A PROBLEM. WE WON'T
ENFORCE THOSE LAWS. SO THAT'S MY
COMMENT WITH THAT. YOU CAN GO
AHEAD OH I'M SORRY. IF YOU GET
TOO CLOSE I DON'T YOU GET IT
CLOSE OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
AND- YEAH I WILL. M. SO A LOT ON
THEIR PRE THE CONVERSE
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS FROM
CENTER DALI WHO'S NO LONGER HERE
AND I UNDERSTAND BECAUSE ROBIN
PING PONG AROUND BETWEEN OUR
VARIOUS COMMITTEES. LET ME LET
ME JUST A FEW THINGS FIRST OF
ALL- YOU KNOW I HAD THE CHANCE
TO MEET WITH LOW- AND RESCIND
MY- IN MY OFFICE THIS MORNING AS
FOR MEETING AND I SAID OF COURSE
AND I WANT TO APPLAUD THEM FOR
COMING UP AND MAKING THEIR
VOICES HEARD IN. SOME WAYS ALEX
I THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT
PARTICULAR THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
PARTICIPATING IN THE POLITICAL
PROCESS. WHAT WE TALKED A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT WITH THEM- YOU KNOW
THEY'RE THEY'RE VERY FORTUNATE
THEY GO TO A PRIVATE SCHOOL ST
LUCY'S THEY HAVE A LOT OF
SECURITY AT THAT IT AB YOU KNOW
SECURE PERIMETER NORTH THINGS
WHEN I WOULD HELP THEM TO
UNDERSTAND AS YOU KNOW. I'VE
KIDS IN L. A. U. S. STATE. MY
FIRST GRADER JUST AN ACTIVE
SHOOTER DRILL. MIXXENTM WHEN I
WAS A YOUNG PERSON GOING TO
PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE DID EARTHQUAKE
DRILLS WE DID STOP DROP AND ROLL
FOR FIRES. WE NEVER DID ACTIVE
SHOOTER DRILLS. AND THAT GUNS
HAVE NOW BECAUSE INDISPUTABLY
ACCORDING TO THE CDC ARE THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE. IT'S NOT AUTO ACCIDENTS
IT'S NOT CANCER NOT DRUNK
DRIVING IT'S NOT DRUGS IT IS
GUNS GUNS ARE THE LEADING CAUSE
OF DEATH OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE
UNITED STATES. AND I THINK TO
THE POINT ABOUT THE FAIRNESS OF
THE TAX- I ACTUALLY WOULD FLIP
IT ON ITS HEAD I THINK IT'S
ACTUALLY UNFAIR TO THE PEOPLE OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN THIS.
PACKERS STATE GOVERNOR WE ARE
EFFECTIVELY SUBSIDISING THE
FIREARM INDUSTRY RIGHT NOW. WITH
THE WAY THAT THIS WORKS WHEN
PEOPLE PRODUCE A PRODUCT THAT
HAS GOTTEN. GREATER HARM ON
SOCIETY. THAT'S CALLED A
NEGATIVE EXTERNALITY WE ASK THEM
TO OWN SOME OF THAT COST. TO GUN
MANUFACTURERS ARE PRODUCING A
PRODUCT RIGHT NOW. THAT IS
CREATE COSTING THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. TWENTY TWO POINT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. ONE
POINT TWO BILLION DIRECTLY BY
TAXPAYERS. YOUR CONSTITUENTS
SENATOR ARE SUBSIDIZING GUN
MANUFACTURERS. AND SO WHAT WE'RE
ASKING THEM TO DO IS TO PAY A
LITTLE BIT OF THE FAIR SHARE. TO
HELP TO HELP. FUND SCHOOL
SAFETY. HELP FUND A LOT OF THE
PROGRAMS YOU'RE TRYING BUT THIS
WOULD BE FIFTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS. ANNUALLY TO GOING TO
TAKE GUNS AWAY. FROM PROHIBITED
PERSONS DOMESTIC ABUSERS. OTHERS
WHO SHOULD NOT BY LAW BE
POSSESSING FIREARMS. I
APPRECIATED WHAT WHAT'S HONORED
ALL HE SAID. THESE ARE REALLY
GOOD PROBLEMS AND I THINK YOU.
ARE PROGRAMS IN YOUR SHE HEARD
FROM THE OPPOSITION THAT THEY
SUPPORT THIS. AND IF YOU'RE
WORRIED ABOUT THE EFFICACY OR
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS
PROGRAM ONE. THERE IS INCREDIBLE
RESEARCH THAT I CAN SHARE WITH
YOUR OFFICE. ABOUT THE CALVET
PROGRAM OUT HOW IS REDUCED
VIOLENCE IN THE CITIES WHERE IT
HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED. I
RESPECTFULLY DIRECT YOU TO THE
LETTER FROM CHIEF MORE FROM THE
LAPD. NOT A VERY IDEOLOGICAL
PERSON WHO TALKS VERY ELOQUENTLY
ABOUT THE ROLE THAT CALVET AND
THESE VIOLENCE INTERVENTION
PROGRAMS PLAY. IN REDUCING GUN
VIOLENCE AND REDUCING GUN
DEATHS. IN COMMUNITIES SO THE
ALON FORSMAN WE HAVE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THAT ARE
SAYING THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
EFFORT. THESE ARE DOLLARS THAT
ARE WELL SPENT THEY HAVE PROVEN
TO REDUCE. GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES AND WE SUPPORT THIS
BILL. SO AGAIN I THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF TALK HERE ABOUT THE COSTS
THAT ARE GOING TO BE. IMPOSED ON
CONSUMERS. I'M I'M YOU KNOW I'M
NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT WHAT'S
HONORED ALL I WAS REFERRING TO
WITH THE BOWS AND ARROWS THAT'S
A- I THINK A FEDERAL THING WOULD
HAVE BEEN ROBINSON THAT'S NOT IN
THIS BILL. THIS IS A TAX ON THE
MANUFACTURES. AND THAT IS WHAT
MAKES THIS BILL DIFFERENT I
WOULD SAY THAT THIS BILL HAS
BEEN RUN IN PREVIOUS YEARS THIS
IS A VERY. IN THERE SOME
SIMILARITIES TO BILLS HAVE BEEN
RUNNING DIFFERENCE. THIS IS A
VERY DIFFERENT BILL. BECAUSE THE
TAXES ON I MEAN IF. AND WE ARE
NO. IN THIS. PEOPLE ARE MAKING
UP. THAT IS KILLING OUR CHILDREN
AT RECORD RATES. MAKING AMERICA
A TOTAL OUT LATER THIS IS A
UNIQUELY AMERICAN PHENOMENON.
AND YOU KNOW PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
ALL THE OTHER CAUSES OF VIOLENCE
YOU KNOW THEY HAVE VIOLENT VIDEO
GAMES AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
AND ALL OF THESE OTHER
CHALLENGES IN EVERY OTHER
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. WITH THEY
DON'T HAVE THESE KIDS BEING AT
RISK AT SCHOOL. I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY SUGGEST YOU THAT
THE EXPERIENCE OF ALEX IS MUCH
MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF ON SADLY.
AND SHAMEFULLY. MUCH MORE
REPRESENT OF THE EXPERIENCE OF
YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THEN THE THEN THEN
THESE YOUNG LADIES TRAVEL TO THE
US OR- THE FEAR THAT HE TALKED
ABOUT. THE ANXIETY THAT HE
TALKED ABOUT. THE DEATH THAT HE
TALKED ABOUT THE FACT THAT
PEOPLE DON'T FEEL SAFE GOING
ANYWHERE. INCLUDING IN THE
PLACES WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO
GO TO GET EDUCATED. THAT IS
UNFORTUNATE REALITY WITH THAT WE
HAVE CREATED FOR CHILDREN. AND I
THINK THAT IS SHAMEFUL. AND I
THINK IT IS A POOR REFLECTION ON
US AND IT IS UNFORTUNATELY.
FIRST AND FOREMOST A PUBLIC
POLICY CHOICE. WE HAVE MADE POOR
PUBLIC POLICY CHOICES. TO
SUBSIDIZE A GUN INDUSTRY TO PUT
THEM IN AN UNFAIR POSITION AND
NOW OUR CHILDREN. ARE PAYING THE
COST OF THAT AND THIS I THINK IS
A- AGAIN. THIS IS A MODEST TAX.
THIS IS COMPARABLE TO A FEDERAL
TAX AT THE N. OR A HAS HELD UP
AS A MODEL. THE NRA HAS LAUDED
THE FEDERAL TAX SO IT'S A LITTLE
BIT HARD FOR PEOPLE TO. TALK OUT
OF BOTH SIDES ARE NOT. THEY'VE
NEVER SAID THE FEDERAL TAXES AND
CONSTITUTIONAL. THEY NEVER SAID
IT'S IT THAT IT'S A PROBLEM THEY
SAID THIS IS GREAT. GENERATES
REVENUE TO PROTECT WILDLIFE.
WELL IF WE CAN HAVE A TAX TO
GENERATE REVENUE PROTECT
WILDLIFE. ON CONSUMERS WE CAN
CERTAINLY HAVE A TAX ON
MANUFACTURERS. TO GENERATE
REVENUE TO PROTECT OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE BECAUSE I THINK OUR KIDS
ARE. WAY MORE IMPORTANT FRANKLY.
THAN THAN WILDLIFE AND WE OWE IT
TO THEM. WE OWE IT TO THEM TO DO
EVERYTHING THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN
SO WE SEE THIS AS A- THOUGHTFUL.
MODEST COMMONSENSE PROPOSAL IS
GOING TO GENERATE A HUNDRED AND
SIXTY. MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY.
AGAIN I APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
FOR. FOR CALVET IN THESE
PROGRAMS CENTER I'D LOVE TO RUN
A BILL WITH YOU NEXT YEAR TO
INCREASE FUNDING FOR THOSE
PROGRAMS ON THE GENERAL FUND. WE
DID GOOD WORK IN PREVIOUS YEARS
AND WE HAD A BUDGET SURPLUS. BUT
THAT FUNDING IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE.
AND A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS WILL
GO AWAY IF WE DON'T CREATE AN
OF. A NEW REVENUE SOURCE FOR
THESE PROGRAMS. THEY'RE GOING TO
GO AWAY AND WE'RE GONNA SEE A
FURTHER INCREASE. IN GUN
VIOLENCE AND GUN DEATHS IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT. I DON'T THINK ANY OF US
CAN STAND BY AND ALLOW IT TO
HAPPEN SO WITH THAT- WRITTEN. E.
APPRECIATE THE RESPECTFUL
CONVERSATION- APPRECIATE THE
POINTS OF VIEW. BUT WOULD
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE VOTE
ON THIS BILL. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. SO THIS THE MOTION ON THIS
DO I HAVE A MOTION. BY CENTER
BLAKE SPIRIT TO DO PASS AS
AMENDED TO PUBLIC SAFETY.
SENATORS CABALLERO. THERE ARE
TWO. THEY ARE TAUGHT NOW. HERE
LAKE SUPERIOR I DOLLY. TO
WRESTLE. WRESTLE I. GLAZER
SKINNER. WIENER. TWO TWO ONE.
ALL RIGHT. GOING TO HOLD THAT
OPEN FOR. OUR ACTION WOULD. THE
HOLDING- OPEN. CUCUMBER YEAH
WE'RE GONNA KEEP. ROLE OPEN.
MISS WILSON. SHE'S NOT. OKAY.
ALL RIGHT WE'RE GONNA GIVE
ADJUSTING. MINUTES IF PEOPLE
DON'T WANT TO STAY FOR THE
REMAINDER OF THE HEARING WELCOME
TO. GET OUT OF.
RIGHT ASSEMBLY MEMBER WILSON.
DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY
HE'D LIKE TO COME UP AND PRESENT
YOUR BILL AND I WOULD BE GREAT.
YES YOU DO I DON'T THINK THEY'LL
TAKE FORTY FIVE MINUTES OKAY HI
ALL THOSE PEOPLE WERE RE
CONGREGATING OUT IN THE HALLWAY
THE COMING BACK RIGHT THEY'RE TO
COME BACK IN IS VERY DIFFERENT
ALL RIGHT SO WE'RE GOING TO AB
TWO THIRTY THREE AND- MISS
WILSON WHENEVER YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU ALL RIGHT WELL GOOD
MORNING MR HERE AND- THE MEMBERS
THAT ARE STILL REMAINING I KNOW
THERE'S MANY COMING BACK- I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT AB TWO THREE
THREE BOB THIS WILL ALLOW YOU
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO HAVE THE
OPTION OF IMPLEMENTING AN
ORDINANCE THAT WOULD REQUIRE
ANIMAL OWNERS TO CLEAN UP ANIMAL
EXCREMENT THAT IS A POSITIVE
PUBLIC PROPERTY. I FIRST LIKE TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR THE
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS I AM
ACCEPTING AMENDMENTS WHICH WILL
EXPAND THE BILL. TO ALLOW LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO APPLY ITS
PROVISIONS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY
AS WELL. WELL THIS BILL DICK IF
SECRETARY OF EXISTING LAW THIS
WILL ALSO PROVIDE CLARITY LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS SUCH AS THOSE OF MY
DISTRICT NEED IN ORDER TO
EXPLORE OPTIONS TO ADDRESS.
ANIMAL WASTE LEFT ON PUBLIC
ROADS AS WELL AS PUBLIC PROPERTY
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE CAME UP
WHILE I WAS ON VICE MAYOR OF MY
CITY. AND WE HAD GOT CONFIRMED
LANGUAGE IN REGARDING TO WORSE
ACKERMAN OF NOT BEING A SOURCE
AFTER READ I'M NOT BEING ABLE TO
REGULATE IN THAT SPACE AND AS
WELL AS CHECKED IN WITH OTHER
SOLANO COUNTY. CITIES AND THEY
HAD- HAVE RECEIVED THAT A
SIMILAR- FROM. DESTRUCTION AND
SO WE THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
SOME COUNTIES OR SOME CITIES ARE
DOING DIFFERENT THINGS ACROSS
THE STATE AND WANTED TO ENSURE.
THAT THERE IS CLARITY- FOR ALL
CITIES AND THAT THEY ARE ALL
HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD WHEN
IN TERMS OF. DETERMINING WHAT
TYPE OF WORK THAT THEY CAN
CREATE. ARTICLE ELEVEN SECTION
SEVEN OF THE STATE CONSTITUTIONS
ALLOW CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
MAKE IMPORTS WITHIN ITS LIMITS
ALL LOCAL. POLICE SANITARY
ANOTHER ORDINANCE AND
REGULATIONS NOT IN CONFLICT WITH
GENERAL LAW. COMMONLY KNOWN AS A
POLICE POWER. IT IS THIS
PROVISION OF THE CONSTITUTION
ALLOWS CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
REGULATE BEHAVIOR TO PRESERVE
THE HEALTH. SAFETY AND WHERE FOR
THE PUBLIC INCLUDING LAND USE
AUTHORITY. EVEN THOUGH MANY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALREADY
ADOPTED ORDINANCES. UNDER THEIR
GENERAL POLICE POWER THERE'S NO
STATE LAW SPECIFICALLY
AUTHORIZING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
ADOPT ORDINANCES REQUIRING OTHER
WORDS ANIMAL OWNERS TO CLEAN UP.
AFTER THEIR ANIMALS. AND IN
PARTICULAR WHY THIS BILL IT WAS
ORIGINALLY CREATED. FOR ANY
EXCREMENT THAT IS LESS ON
PUBLIC. FOR PRIVATE PROPERTY THE
COST CLEAN UP WILL FALL THE
LOWER GUY. OR LOCAL BUSINESS
OWNER. AND ADDITIONALLY OF
EXCREMENT REMOVAL IS THE
COLLECTED. THEIR POTENTIAL
RUNOFF ISSUES THAT CAN LEAD TO
NUTRIENTS ENTERING GROUNDWATER.
OR SURFACE WATER. SOURCES I DO
APPRECIATE THAT WHEN YOU LOOK
INTO SEARCHES ON THIS THERE ARE
MANY MANY MANY- HORSE
ORGANIZATIONS. AND OTHER.
ORGANIZATIONS RELATED TO ANIMALS
AND PETS BUT DO ENCOURAGE PETS-
ANIMALS OF ALL TYPES TO CLEAN UP
AFTER BUT IT IS AN ENCOURAGEMENT
NOT A REQUIREMENT. AS A FORMER A
LOCAL LEADER I UNDERSTAND HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE LOCAL
CONTROL. BECAUSE LOCAL LEADERS
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYMENT
LAWS THAT WILL BENEFIT THEIR
CITIES AND THEY ARE ON THE FRONT
LINES. OF THEIR COMMUNITY
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY.
TO REPRESENT OUR COMMUNITIES WE
LEAVE OUR COMMUNITIES TO
REPRESENT THEM. LOCAL LEADERS
HAVE TO SERVE. IN THE
COMMUNITIES THEY REPRESENT AND
THEY HAVE TO SEE THEM AT THE
GROCERY STORE AT THE BANK. YOU
KNOW GETTING THEIR NAILS DONE
I'LL GO A WITHIN THEIR
WORKPLACES. AND SO AB TWO TWO
TWO THREE THREE DOES ALLOW FOR
LOCAL CONTROL. ARM WITH THAT
GIVE IT OVER TO THE COMMITTEE OF
THERE'S THE DISCUSSES NEED TO BE
HAPPY I DO. THANK YOU ALL AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK. FOR AN AYE
VOTE. GREAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH
IS THERE- DID YOU BRING ANY WHEN
WITH TO STEP OKAY. SO IT THERE

MINUTES. WELCOME SIR. GOOD
MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE FALCONS OFFICE-
HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
IN NORCO. ALSO KNOWN AS HORSE
TOWN USA IN VERY RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION. TO THE ASSEMBLY
WOMAN'S BILL. THE CITY NORCO IS
AN EQUESTRIAN OR IN A COMMUNITY
WHERE MANY OF THE RESIDENTS.
KEEP HORSES AT THEIR HOMES AND
ENJOY RIDING THOSE HORSES
THROUGH THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE
RESIDENTS HAVE OVER FOUR HUNDRED
ACRES OF PARK LAND ONE OF THE
LARGEST TRAIL SYSTEMS. IN THE
NATION THAT THEY GET TO ENJOY.
THE CITY HAS SERIOUS CONCERNS.
ON ANY TYPE OF REGULATION ON
HOME ALL ON HORSE OWNERSHIP. ON
THE BILL THAT HORSE NEWER IS NOT
A NUISANCE BUT- I'M RATHER A
MINOR INCONVENIENCE TO HAVING
THESE BEAUTIFUL WORKING ANIMALS
IN OUR COMMUNITIES- THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS EXPAND THE BILL TO
COVER ALL ANIMALS AND- IT MAKES
SENSE IF YOU HAVE A DOG AND- YOU
KNOW. CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOG
WHEN THEY ARE DONE USING THE
RESTROOM- BUT WE FEEL LIKE. IT'S
ASKING A WHOLE NOTHER LEVEL FOR
A HORSE OWNER TO BE ABLE TO DO
THAT WHEN THEY WHEN OUT RUNNING
THEIR HORSES- ALTHOUGH THIS BILL
IS PERMISSIVE IT'S VERY EASY AND
- ACTUALLY VERY TYPICAL FOR. FOR
WRITERS ACROSS JURISDICTIONAL
BOUNDARIES WHEN THEY'RE OUT ON
THE TRAILS THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN
ONE ONE FOUR SMITH STARTS. ONE
FORSMAN ENDS. THE BECOMES VERY
COMPLICATED FOR THE WRITERS. AND
THEN A BASIC QUESTION ABOUT
PUBLIC LANDS WITHIN CITY
BOUNDARIES THAT APPLY THERE IF
THE WRITING A NATIONAL FOREST
AREAS OR STATE WILDERNESS AREAS.
COULD THEY BE RESTRICTED THERE-
SWITCH WILL THIS IS A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL APPROACH THAT DOESN'T
WORK FOR THE CITY OF THE NORCO
AND- FOR THOSE. REASONS WERE
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION. YOU
SHOULD YOUR- TODAY IS THERE
ANYBODY IN THE ROOM- IN OP. TO
THE BILL THAT THEY LIE TO COME
UP IN EXPRESSED SUCH. A NOT
WE'RE GONNA GO THE PHONE.
MYSTERY TEAM T. OPERATORS THERE

LIKE TO EITHER EXPRESS THEIR
OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT- FOR THIS
BILL. AND MIND YOU FOLKS WE'RE
CALLING IN IT SEE YOUR NAME
ORGANIZATION AND WHETHER YOU
SUPPORTER OPPOSE. THANK YOU
MUCH- LADIES AND GERMS HE STATED

EIGHTY TWO THREE THREE. PLEASE
TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY PRESS ONE
POLE BY ZERO ONE FELL BY. ZERO
GIVE ONE MORE REMINDER YOU'RE A
SUPPORTER APPOSITION TO AB TWO
THREE THREE PLEASE PRESS ONE
ZERO. NOBODY IS GIVING UP THE
STRUCTURE. OKAY THEN WE'RE GONNA
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS TO
ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS. DANNY MY COLLEAGUES
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
ON THIS PARTICULAR BILL. ANY MY
COLLEAGUES KNOW THAT I'M ASKING
THIS QUESTION. WELL YOU KNOW
WHAT THEN I'M GOING TO MAKE A
COMMENT. YOU KNOW I CAN'T
SUPPORT THIS- YOU KNOW WHY- BUT
NO MORE THAN THAT IT'S THE- THE
ISSUES WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT-
THE LOCAL AGENCIES ALREADY HAVE
THE ABILITY AND- ORDINANCE
SYSTEMS AND I YOU KNOW THAT I
KNOW THAT- TO ADDRESS THE
SPECIFIC ISSUES IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES- JUST LIKE- YOU KNOW
IN OUR OUR COMMUNITY IT'S MORE
OF THE DOG STUFF THEN THE HORSE
STEPFATHER WE DO HAVE SOME
COURSES THAT ARE AROUND. BUT IT
IS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM THAT THE
CITY COUNCIL HAS HAD TO ADDRESS
BECAUSE NOBODY REALLY. BROUGHT
IT TO THEIR YOU KNOW AS AS
SOMETHING I WANTED FIXED- L. AND
SO I DID SOMETHING I DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGING THE
STATE TO GET INVOLVED. IN THOSE
TYPE OF THAT LEVEL OF-
GOVERNANCE AND- SO I THINK IT'S
KIND OF- INTRODUCING OURSELVES
INTO A LEVEL GOVERNANCE AND WE
DON'T REALLY NEED TO BE
INTRODUCED INTO THEY HAVE THE
ABILITY STATE THIS ACCORDING TO
THE- AND- AND I. LIKE YOU KNOW
THAT'S IT FOR THAT REASON WANTED
. THAT'S I'M NOT TWENTY. I HAVE
A QUESTION- I HAD ASKED FOR TIME
. I WAS UNDER GOING. MY HE WAS
THE SENATE ALI- THANK YOU THEY
YOU MISTER- I JUST OF QUESTION
THE- YES- I'M SUPPORTER BUT I
THINK THAT THE- OF THE RIVER OF
NOT REYES A COUPLE OF GOOD. AND
I KNOW IF YOU HAD THOSE CON. AS
FAR AS IS SOMETHING. ONE IN PER
WAS. NOT KNOWING WHERE THE LINES
ARE WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE
CRISES. SO IF YOU COULD
ELABORATE ON THAT A LITTLE BIT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVE ME AN
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS SOME OF
WHAT THAT PROPONENTS SAID IN
THAT EVEN SOME OF WHAT. I AM
FORMER COLLEAGUE AND BUT STILL
COLLEAGUE. AND FROM OTHER
HOUSING SENATOR- THEY ARE- WE IT
COMES TO THIS IS AS AS A NOT A
FROM THE OPPOSITION THAT IT IS
A- LANGUAGE OF A CITY. CONSIDERS
US MINOR NEW IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT TO ADDRESS AND IF IT'S NOT
A CONCERN OF THEIR COMMUNITY.
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO ADDRESS
THAT WORRIES IN PARTICULAR WAS A
CONCERN IN OURS WE DID A BUT I
COUNTY- I COUNTY ISLAND SO TO
SPEAK WITHIN THE CITY THERE'S A
QUITE A BIT OF THAT AND SOLANO
BECAUSE WE DO YOU- VALUE OPEN
SPACE. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF
COUNTY ISLANDS THAT SEPARATE
CITIES OR EVEN WITHIN. A CITY
AND SO AND A LOT OF TIMES
BECAUSE WE ARE 62% AGRICULTURE
AND OPEN SPACE AND RANCHES. WE
DID HOW WE DO HOW HOW- COURSES
REGULARLY ENTERING INTO THE
CITY. WHICH IS A BEAUTIFUL AND
GREAT AND WONDERFUL THING- THERE
ARE SEVERAL PICTURES OF ME AND
THERE'S A PICTURE OF ME AS A KID
ON A HORSE I LOW FORCES. I THINK
THEIR GRAND AND MAJESTIC BUT WE
ALSO FOUND OUT ON OUR SAFE
ROUTES TO SCHOOL. THE HORSES
WERE GOING THERE AND THEY ARE
ACCURATE AND BECAUSE IT WAS ON.
IMPROVE SERVICES- IT DOESN'T
DISSIPATE AND WE DON'T HAVE A
LOT OF RAIN WE HAD A LOT OF RAIN
THIS LAST YEAR BUT- THAT'S NOT
OUR NORM. IN CALIFORNIA AND SO
IT DOESN'T DISSIPATE QUICKLY AND
IT DOES REQUIRE US TO THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO CLEAN IT UP. WHEN
WE APPROACH. IN PARTICULAR
REGULATING HORSE. FROM IT NOT
ALL ANIMALS WHEN IT COMES TO
THIS COMMITTEE. THE BILL PRIOR
TO THIS COMMITTEE WAS JUST
SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO OUR
SITE. IT WAS INCLUDED FOR ALL
ANIMALS TO NOT. A ROAD THE
RIGHTS OF OTHER CITIES WHO HAD
WAITED ON THIS PARTICULAR
SUBJECT. BUT WHEN WE GOT INTO
HORSES THE FIND THAT COURSES
WERE CONSIDERED TRANSPORTATION.
AND SO BECAUSE THEY'RE
CONSIDERED FOR TRANSPORTATION.
THAT IS COVERED LIKE A VEHICLE.
AND SO WE COULDN'T REGULATORS
BASED WEEK EVEN HAVE A
CONVERSATION EVEN THOUGH WE WERE
GETTING AN OUTCRY. APPEARANCE
REALLY TO US OPERATE RIDES TO
SCHOOL. WEREN'T A TO COME TO AN
AGREEMENT. WITH THOSE BRINGING
IN THE HORSES. OF THEM CLEANING
IT UP- AND WE DIDN'T WANT TO BAN
THEM THAT WAS THE ONLY
ALTERNATIVE AND WE DIDN'T. TO
BAN WHAT WE WANT HORSES ON OUR
TRAILS- WE JUST WANTED TO DEAL
WITH THE ISSUE OF EXCREMENT AND
WE FOUND THAT WE COULDN'T. AND
THAT WAS THE GUIDANCE THAT WE
GOT AND CITIES ESPECIALLY SMALL
CITIES LIKE MINE. YOU DEPEND
HEAVILY ON YOUR CITY ATTORNEY.
ADAM WE CONTRACT OUT WITH A FIRM
WHO IS ACT- APART PRICE THOSE
CONTRACTS SERVICES FOR NUMEROUS
CITIES. AND SO- ACROSS THE STATE
THEIR BASE AND ON TO THE
CALIFORNIA. GIVING ADVICE THAT
WE COULD NOT DO THAT AND OF
COURSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO PUSH
THAT BECAUSE WE DON'T
NECESSARILY HAVE THE RESOURCES
BY THE LAWSUIT. AND GET INTO A
LEGAL BATTLE OF THAT SO WE
DIDN'T HAVE THAT DISCUSSION. AND
SO THIS PROVIDES GREATER
CLARITY. IT PARTICULAR READ THE
ORIGINAL BILL RELATED TO HORSES
TOOK TO SAY THAT IF IT IS AN
ISSUE. ARMS BEEN. THE OF COURSE
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE. TO
GOVERN ON UP. ISSUE I'M TAKING
FOR INSTANCE IN THE CITY. I MEAN
IN THE CITY OF NORTH. THEY ARE
ONE. OF THE COMMUNITIES THAT IS
A HORSE TOWN. THAT ALSO THE-
ARMED FORCES ASSOCIATION DOES
PUT OUT A VERY EXTENSIVE
GUIDANCE THAT OTHER-
ASSOCIATIONS ACROSS THE STATE
HAVE. LOOKED TO THE REFERENCE IN
THAT LIKE WHEN YOU READ ALL THE
ONES THEY REFERENCE MARCO'S
GUIDANCE. FOR A HORSE RIDERS TO
BE COGNIZANT OF THE FACT THAT.
EXPERIMENTS CAN BE AN ISSUE ON
IMPROVE SERVICES. AND THAT THEY
SHOULD. IF POSSIBLE. DISMOUNT
AND YOU KNOW SHIFTED OFF INTO ON
IMPROVE SERVICES. BECAUSE THEY
CAN BE A BENEFIT TO YOU.
UNIMPROVED SURFACES OR TRIAL THE
STOCK FOR BECAUSE IT DOES GET
INTO THE GROUND. YOU KNOW ALL OF
THAT ISSUE AND SO. I'M BUT- IF.
SINCE NO. ABOUT THE- WHERE IS
MORE THAN A NEWS. AND THAT
COMMUNITY DOES. WANT TO DO IT
THAN THAT COMMUNITIES. BE
ALLOWED TO SAY. YOU CAN'T COME
IN OUR COMMUNITY- ON OUR
SERVICES WHEREVER SERVICE THEY
DECIDED THEY DON'T WANT TO CALM.
THE THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO
THAT. AND THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF
LOCAL CONTROL IS THAT IT'S BASED
ON THE COMMUNITY'S NEEDS- AND
THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THAT
COMMUNITY TO DETERMINE WHAT'S
BEST FOR THEM AND TALK TO THEIR
REPRESENTATIVES ABOUT WHAT TO
DO. WE FELT LIKE THIS DISCUSSION
COULDN'T HAPPEN IN EVERY SINGLE
CITY AND NOT EVERYTHING I'M
SEEING HERE CITY HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO GET INTO A
PROTRACTED BATTLE. OVER A
PARTICULAR LAW- AS IT RELATES TO
WHATEVER ISSUE IT IS IN A
PARTICULARLY AS IT MIGHT RELATE
TO SOMETHING THAT YOU MIGHT
THINK AS MINOR AS- THE EXCREMENT
OF ANIMALS. YES MISTER YOUR
THIRST TO MEET I HAVEN'T THE-
LIKE IN FOR TO GET TIME WITH YOU
OBVIOUSLY COME OUT A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT FOR A LONG TIME AND-
I'M A FARMER IN YOU KNOW EVERY.
WANTS TO. BUILDER HOME AND LOOK
AT YOUR FARMING HAVE THAT- OPEN
SPACE- AT THE SAME TIME- THEN
THEY WANT TO START TELLING YOU
AS MORE PEOPLE COME IN HOW TO
ACTUALLY OPERATE YOUR FARMING.
AND NOT SO. THAT COMING OUT LOW
GOVERNMENT I TEND TO LIKE. ONE
OF THE REASONS I RAN FOR THE
LEGISLATURE WAS I WAS TIRED OF
THE STATE TELLING US HOW TO DO
IT. AND I LOVE LOCAL CONTROL
ABOUT WHERE WHAT SO THE THERE'S
A REAL REASON I WANT TO GET THE
QUESTION I HAVE IS THE REASON
YOU'RE DOING THIS BILLS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES
TO. LITIGATE IF THEY ACTUALLY
PASSED DO THIS THEMSELVES. SO IN
OUR PARTICULAR AREA WE FOUND
THAT IT WASN'T CLEAR AND
LANGUAGE AS IS A WRIGLEY NOW THE
BILL DOES NOT ALL ANIMALS NOW
BECAUSE THAT WAS. THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WE ACCEPTED. FROM THE CAN
THE CHAIR COMMITTEE EXULTED OKAY
SO THIS ISSUE CAME ABOUT WHAT
SPECIFICALLY HORSES. BECAUSE
HORSES ARE CONSIDERED V. THEY
ARE NOT ORIGINAL VEHICLE. AND SO
THEY ARE REGULATED BY THE
TRANSPORTATION COAT. THE EGG AND
SO THAT IS A STATE LAW AND SO ON
THE ONLY OPTION. THAT WE FOUND
IN PRESIDENT'S REALLY WAS ABOUT
BANNING. AND THERE ARE SEVERAL
CITIES THAT DID MORE THAN THAT
BUT THEY DON'T DO THAT OUR
ATTORNEY. DISAGREED WITH THAT.
SO IF- IF SOMEONE SAYS FIGHT IT
WHICH WE DID HAVE WHEN WE TALK
TO THE- RANCHERS WHO WERE
NEIGHBORING THERE IN THE COUNTY
NOT INNER CITY. RIGHT THEY
DIVERSE DIVERSITY. WHEN WE TALK
TO THEM- AND THIS IS A NUMBER OF
YEARS AGO. OF LIKE HE THIS IS
THE ISSUE THEY WERE HAVING A
PARENTS COMPLAINING CAN TO THEM
ABOUT IT. THEY RESPECTFULLY
DECLINED- THAT YOU KNOW IT GET
IN A- BY. AND I ATTORNEY. SAID
WE DIDN'T HAVE ABILITY TO
REGULATE IN THAT SPACE. AND SO
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE. ABILITY
WE TOLD WE DON'T HAVE THE BILL
TO REGULATE THAT'S BASED. AND
THAT WAS CONSISTENT WITH.
ATTORNEYS AND FOR COUNTY. OTHER
ATTORNEYS IN FLORIDA CAL. THEN
AND KNEW THAT THEY WERE IN OUR
THEY WERE THE- BECAUSE- IT COULD
GET IN A PROTRACTED BATTLE
BECAUSE IT WASN'T CLEAR LANGUAGE
EVEN THOUGH OTHER. CITIES IN THE
SOUTH IN THE STATE HAD DONE NOT
TO A HANDFUL NOT MANY. AND SO-
AND THEY WERE LARGER CITIES AND
SO IT WAS DETERMINED THAT WE
WOULD- AT THE TIME WE DIDN'T
KNOW THAT ARE THERE OTHER CITIES
WE WERE JUST TOLD BY TRYING THAT
WE COULDN'T DO IT. AND SO WE
WERE GOING TO GET INTO A BATTLE
OVER SOMETHING THAT WE COULDN'T
DO SO WE DIDN'T EVEN BRING IT UP
FOR DISCUSSION- TO DO THAT
BECAUSE- YOU KNOW. SO LITTLE
GIVES CLARITY. I REALLY FORCES
AND IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT. BECAUSE
WE DON'T WANT TO PREVENT THOSE
CITIES THAT HAVE LAWS ON THE
BOOKS THAT DON'T CONCOURSES THE
CALL OUT. ALL ANIMALS. WE DON'T
WANT TO PUT SOMETHING ON THE
BOOKS THAT WOULD LIMIT WHAT THEY
WERE ALLOWED TO DO. AND SO TO BE
MORE EXPENSIVE TO INSURE WE'RE
GRANDFATHERING IN THOSE. CITIES
THAT HAVE WEIGHED IN AND IT'S A
HANDFUL OF I'M NOT MANY. AND
THAT'S WHY THE LANGUAGE HAS BEEN
ADJUSTED TO WHAT IT IS NOW AND
IN THE AMENDMENTS. THERE WERE.
IN THIS COMMITTEE OF. MADE IT
FOR ALL. NOT DID HE- IT IN.
EVERYTHING EVERY EVERY TYPE AND
- A DOG. A CAT CAT. AND THEN-
THE POLICY WOULD BE TO HAVE
REMOVED JUST. IT OFF OF THE
ROAD. NO NO THE POLICY. JUST
CLARA. THE C. CAN. PRE ORDER NOT
THE IT'S PER. LANG DEVON REQUIRE
. THEM TO. IT JUST SAYS THAT YOU
CAN'T SO IF YOU WANT TO DEAL
WITH THIS ISSUE. YOU CLARIFY
THAT YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE
LEGAL AUTHORITY. TO DEAL WITH
THIS ISSUE FOR ALL ANIMAL.
EXCREMENT WHICH WOULD INCLUDE.
HORSES OF COURSE OKAY YES. AS A
RING IT IS A PERMISSIVE. DOES
NOT REQUIRE ANYTHING. GIVE YOU
PERMISSION TO HAVE THE
DISCUSSION. THROUGH A PUBLIC
PROCESS. CENTER BLAKE'S PAYER
DID YOU HAVE ANY. OKAY ALL
RIGHT- WELL. THE OTHER THING AND
ONE OF THE GOOD QUESTION I HAVE
YOU'RE AWARE OF THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION ARTICLE ELEVEN
SUBSECTION SEVEN. RIGHT THAT
KIND OF GIVES THIS COMMUNITIES
THEIR ABILITY THEIR POLICING
POWERS ISN'T WORTH WHAT. WHAT
IT'S NOTED. BUT LIKE I SAID I
WANTED ANSWERS AROUND THERE IS
INCONSISTENCY ACROSS THE STATE
FROM ATTORNEYS WHICH CITIES RELY
ON AND THAT IS WHY WE THOUGHT
TO. FULLY CLEAR BY THAT IT
INCLUDES THAT AND THAT'S WHY YOU
UNDERSTOOD THAT MADE R. ANSWER.
YOU CAN CLOSE. THANK YOU AT. AT
AT MR RIGHT HERE- I KNOW I
REALLY THAT THAT WAS GIVING
CHANCE TO CALL. YOU KNOW LIKE A
SAID I. TO ME ANIMALS ARE BEING
THINGS AND THEY ARE OF CREE AND
PROVIDE SO MANY BEEN IN SOME
WAYS DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF
ANIMAL SUMMER MORE USEFUL THAN
OTHERS. THEY PROVIDE A UTILITY
OR NOT THERE'S A LEVEL OF MENTAL
HEALTH BENEFITS THAT WE GET FROM
BEING EXPOSED ANIMALS AND SO
EVERY COMMUNITY SHOULD HAVE THEM
WANT THEM THE THEM BUT AT THE
SAME TIME WE RECOGNIZE THAT
THERE ARE FROM IT IS CAN BE A
NUISANCE IN THE PERSON THAT OWNS
THE ANIMAL SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. AND THAT
IF COMMUNITIES FIND THAT IT'S
BEYOND A NUISANCE WHERE THEY
NEED TO REGULATE WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT EVERY CITY NO OR EVERY
COUNTY NEVER A LOCAL AGENCY NO
MATTER HOW BIG THEY ARE AND HOW
MANY RESOURCES THEY ARE. NO
MATTER HOW SMALL THEY ARE VERY
LITTLE RESOURCES THEY ARE THEY
KNOW CLEARLY WHAT THEY CAN DO BY
LAW. AND NO CLEARLY- WHAT SHOULD
NOT BE LITIGATED BECAUSE IT'S
VERY CLEAR IN OUR STATE- AND OUR
STATE LAW THAT ALLOWS FOR THEM
TO DO THAT AS NOTED FOR THIS
PARTICULAR BILL IT IS
PERMISSIVE. IF THE CITY DOES NOT
CONSIDER TO ISSUE A COMMUNITY
DOES NOT CONSIDERED ISSUE A
COUNTY DOES NOT CONSIDER ISSUE.
THEY DO NOT HAVE TO REGULATE IN
THIS SPACE. BUT IF THEY DO FIND
THAT IT IS ISSUE A GET AND
ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE. THE FULL
POWER TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT- AND
THAT IS WHAT. I BELIEVE IS AT
THE HEART OF LOCAL CONTROL IS
MAKING SURE CITIES. UNDERSTAND
THE POWER THAT THEY HAVE AND
THAT THEY CAN EXERCISE THEM
FREELY. BUT I HAPPEN TO GET
CAUGHT UP AND UNNECESSARY
LITIGATION. I'M WITHOUT A
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
GREAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH I DO
NEED A MOTION IF WE'RE GOING TO
VOTE ON. ALL RIGHT WELL A MOTION

YOUR- THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH- THANK YOU FOR YOUR AND-
WITH THREE BILL TODAY THIS IS
TWO THE THREE- AT FIRST I WOULD
LIKE TO. BY SAYING THAT I AM
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS TO LIMIT FIVE NINE
TWO TWO A THREE YEAR PILOT
PROGRAM. WITHIN CONTRA COSTA
SOLANO AND ALAMEDA COUNTIES. I
THINK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
YOUR WORK ON THIS. NOW AB FIVE
NINETY WOULD AUTHORIZE SELECT
COUNTIES TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE
TO REGULATE THE TRANSPORT. OF
SOLID WASTE BY NON FRANCHISE
SOLOWAY'S HOLLERS ON PUBLIC
ROADS IN UNINCORPORATED AREAS.
ILLEGAL DUMPING OCCURS WHEN
SOLOWAY SAYS DISCARDED OR PLACED
ON ANY PROPERTY EITHER PUBLIC OR
PRIVATE WITHOUT PROPER
AUTHORIZATION AND HAS BEEN
GROWING A GROWING PROBLEM IN
CALIFORNIA. FOR MANY YEARS.
VIOLATORS ASSUME THERE IS A
LITTLE RISK BECAUSE IT IS
ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE. L'ENFER
HAS PROBABLE CAUSE TO PULL OVER
NON FRANCHISE COM HOLLERS AND
DISTRICT ATTORNEY THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA REPORT HAVING
DIFFICULTY IN PROSECUTING THESE
TYPES OF CASES. MATERIALS THAT
ARE LEGALLY DUMPED RANGE FROM
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS SUCH AS
MATTRESSES FURNITURE LARGE
APPLIANCES TO OTHER COMMERCIAL
BUSINESSES. ITEMS SUCH AS TIRES
HAZARDOUS WASTE ROCK CONCRETE
ASPHALT AND DIRT. ILLEGAL
DUMPING DISPROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTS DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES BECAUSE THAT'S OFTEN
WHERE ILLEGAL DUMPING HAPPENS
AFFECTING THEIR PUBLIC SAFETY
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY AND
QUALITY OF LIFE. AS A RESULT BY
HELPING COMMUNITIES CURB ILLEGAL
DUMPING THIS BILL WOULD INCREASE
EQUITY NOW WITH ME TODAY. TO
FURTHER DISCUSS AB FIVE FOUR
NINE INTO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE IS CHRISTIAN LUCAS
. THIS IS THE DIRECTOR OF COSTA
IS ENVIRONMENT HEALTH DIVISION
AND CONTRA COSTA HAS BEEN A
LEADING- LEADING ON THE
FOREFRONT OF THIS FOR SOME TIME.
WELCOME MISTER LUCAS HAVE TWO
MINUTES TO GET HOLD OF THAT
THANK YOU. MISTER CHAIR
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
KRISTEN LUCAS AND THE ASSISTANT
DIRECTOR OF A NORMAL HEALTH AND
REPRESENT THE COUNTY OF CONTRA
COSTA HEALTH SERVICES
DEPARTMENT. AS A LONGTIME
RESIDENT AND PUBLIC SERVANT OF
THE COUNTY. I HAVE WITNESSED AN
INCREASE IN ILLEGAL DUMPING
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. COMMUTING
TO COMMUNITY BY. OFTEN JUST
AFFECTING THE COUNTY'S MOST
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. SUCH
AS BAY POINT NORTH RICHMOND AND
MANY OTHERS. UNFORTUNATELY IT
SEEMS ILLEGAL DUMPING ONLY LEADS
TO MORE ILLEGAL DUMPING IN
TWENTY SEVENTEEN. TO HELP COMBAT
THE AFOREMENTIONED ISSUE THE
COUNTY CREATED A PROGRAM TO
REGULATE THE COLLECTION AND
TRANSPORT. OF SOLID WASTE BY NON
FRANCHISE HAULERS IN THE
UNINCORPORATED AREA. CANCEL
SERVICES DEPARTMENT FACILITATES
THE NON FRANCHISE SOLD WASTE
HAULER PROGRAM. WHICH REQUIRES
HAULERS TO OBTAIN A PERMIT. LADY
CAL. AND THEY REGULATORY FEES TO
COVER THE COST OF PROGRAM
IMPLEMENTATION. HOWEVER UNDER
CURRENT COUNTY ORDINANCE ONLY
SOLD WASTE HAULERS WHO COLLECT
THEIR LOADS. IN THE
UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF THE
COUNTY OR REGULATED UNDER THIS
PROGRAM. THE ORDINANCE REGULATES
BOTH THE COLLECTION. AND
TRANSPORT AS OPPOSED TO ONLY
TRANSPORT. SO THE COUNTY CAN
COLLECT REGULATORY FEES TO PAY
FOR THE PROGRAM. AND AVOID
RUNNING AFOUL OF A PROVISION OF
THE VEHICLE CODE THE STATE'S A
PERMIT FEE CANNOT BE CHARGED FOR
THE PRIVILEGE OF USING. PUBLIC
ROADWAYS. WE PUT. WE CURRENTLY
HAVE NO GOOD WAY TO FIGURE OUT
IF OUR ORDINANCE APPLIES TO
SOMEONE HOLDING SOLD RECENTLY
COUNTY AND THUS NO GOOD WAY TO
ENFORCE IT. BY ALLOWING THE
COUNTY TO REGULATE THE MERE
TRANSPORT OF SOLID WASTE BY NON
FRANCHISE SOLD WASTE HAULERS AND
REQUIRE A PERMIT TO OPERATE. ON
ROADS WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED
AREA THIS BILL HAS THE POTENTIAL
TO GREATLY INCREASE THE REACH OF
THE EXISTING PROGRAM IN CONTRA
COSTA COUNTY. I BOTH EXPANDING
IN SCOPE TO ALL NON FRANCHISE
HAULERS ON COUNTY ROADS AND
MAKING THE ORDINANCE EASIER TO
ENFORCE. IF NON FRANCHISE ALWAYS
TALLER MUST OBTAIN A PERMIT-
MUST OBTAIN AND DISPLAY EVIDENCE
OF A PERMIT. SIMPLY TO TRANSPORT
SOLID WASTE ON ROADWAYS
UNINCORPORATED AREAS OF OUR
COUNTY. THE AMBIGUITY
SURROUNDING WHO IS VERSUS WHO IS
NOT DOING SO LAWFULLY IS REMOVED
. IT ALSO LEADS TO A MUCH
SIMPLER AND EASIER TO UNDERSTAND
MESSAGE FOR HAULERS. PASSAGE OF
THIS BILL WOULD HELP SHORE UP
THE GAINS ALREADY MADE THE
COUNTY'S OWN LOCAL LEGISLATION
TO COMBAT THE EVER PRESENT
REALITY. OF ILLEGAL DUMPING BY
ENSURING THAT SOLD WASTE IS NOT
CONTRIBUTING TO ENVIRONMENTAL
DECLINE. IN LOCAL NEIGHBORHOODS
THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AND
COUNTLESS OTHER LOCATIONS
THROUGHOUT OUR COMMUNITIES.

FRUSTRATED THE SUBJECTIVE NATURE
OF SOME OF THE- QUALIFICATION
SECTIONS THAT APPLY TO ELECTED
COUNTY AUDITOR CONTROLLERS WHICH
IS THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE
WHO SERVE IN THE STATE- THE

THAT NEEDLE AND TIGHTEN UP AND

FOR THE OFFICE CAN INDEED- MEET
THE QUALIFICATIONS THAT
DEMONSTRATE THOSE QUALIFICATIONS
UPON REQUEST TO AND ELECTIONS

PARTICULARLY MAKING SURE THAT

BALLOT IS QUALIFIED TRYING TO
FIX IT ON THE BACK AND- COULD
LEAD TO FINANCIAL RUIN AND IN
FACT IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY THEY
WERE VERY VERY CLOSE. BECAUSE IT
TOOK A LONG TIME TO. DEAL WITH
THE SITUATION UP THERE SOMEONE
WHO GOT ELECTED THAT WAS NOT
QUALIFIED. SO WE JUST ONE
ADVERTISE HOW CRITICAL IT IS
THAT THE VERIFICATION OCCURS
BEFORE THE ELECTION EVEN
COMMENCES. THE BACK END IS
MESSY. EVERY SPECIAL DISTRICT
CITY SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE
WAITING FOR MONEY FROM COUNTY
AUDITORS- THEY HAVE TO. ALLOCATE
THOSE FUNDS. EVERYBODY HAS A
STAKE IN MAKING SURE THAT THAT

TO ANYONE IS GOOD GOVERNANCE
MEASURE. THAT WOULD APPLY THIRTY
TO SIXTY DAYTIME LINES DEPENDING
ON THE SIZE OF THE DEVELOPMENT.
TO THE TIME PERIODS AND SPECIAL
DISTRICTS HAVE TO WEIGH IN AND
PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON POST
ENTITLEMENT PHASE PERMIT THAT A
LOCAL AGENCY HAS DEEMED COMPLETE
CURRENTLY ONLY CITIES AND
COUNTIES ARE UNDER SPECIFIED
TIMELINES FOR REVIEWING POST
ENTITLEMENT FACE PERMITS
EXISTING LAW GIVES THESE LOCAL
AGENCIES BETWEEN THIRTY TO SIXTY
DAYS DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF
THE DEVELOPMENT TO COMPLETE
REVIEW OF THESE PERMITS. HOWEVER
AT THE SAME TIME LINES DO NOT
APPLY TO SPECIAL DISTRICTS THIS
BILL BUILDS OFF OF THE WORK THAT
WAS DONE BY- DONE IN AB TWENTY
TWO THIRTY FOUR ON LAST
LEGISLATIVE SESSION ADD WOULD
HOLD SPECIAL DISTRICTS TO THE
SAME STANDARDS AS THESE LOCAL
AGENCIES TO HELP PREVENT COSTLY
DELAYS AND REDUCE BARRIERS TO
HOUSING PRODUCTION WE WORK
CLOSELY WITH MANY OF THE SPECIAL
DISTRICTS TO ENSURE THAT THE
BILL ADDRESSES. THE MANY
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SITUATIONS
AND ALSO THE DIFFERENT SPECIAL
DISTRICTS OF THE NEEDS THAT THEY
HAVE TO GO THROUGH- IN REVIEWING
POST ENTITLEMENT FACE FOR
PERMITS THE BILL CAPTURES THE
INCREMENTAL ADJUSTMENTS THAT MAY
TAKE PLACE DURING THE
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS. AS CERTAIN
FACTORS MAY CHANGE THROUGHOUT
THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF
DEVELOPMENT ALLOWING A SPECIAL
DISTRICT TO REVIEW AND ASSESS
INFORMATION. AS NEW FACTORS MAY
ARISE AND WITH ME I DO HAVE-
THROUGH THE CHAIR- TESTIMONY-
FROM ELECTING FROM SILICON.
VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP. VERY
GOOD WHEN A WELCOME YOU TO MIKE
PLEASE. GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS
SELECTING HERE FOR THE SILICON
VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP THE
LEADERSHIP GROUP IS PLEASED TO
VOICE OUR SUPPORT FOR AB TWO.
EIGHT ONE AND THINK ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GRAYSON FOR CARRYING THIS
MEASURE. THE LEADERSHIP GROUP IS
A BUSINESS ASSOCIATION PERCENT
OVER THREE HUNDRED FIFTY OF
SILICON VALLEY IS MOST RESPECTED
EMPLOYERS ON ISSUES THAT AFFECT
ECONOMIC HEALTH AND QUALITY OF
LIFE IN THE BAY AREA.
CALIFORNIA'S HOUSING GOLD WAS TO
BUILD A HUNDRED EIGHTY THOUSAND
NEW UNITS EACH YEAR TO ADDRESS
CALIFORNIA'S. HOUSING CRISIS
HOWEVER WE HAVE NOT ACHIEVED
THIS GOAL SINCE TWO THOUSAND
FIVE AND WE ARE CURRENTLY.
ATTEMPTING TO CATCH UP BY
ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM WITHIN
THE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
IN TWO THOUSAND TWENTY TWO THE
LEADERSHIP GROUP WAS PROP PROUD
TO CO SPONSOR AB TWO TO THREE
FOUR AS MENTIONED BY THE AUTHOR.
WHICH WOULD STANDARDIZE THE
REVIEW PROCESS FOR OBTAINING
POST ENTITLEMENT PERMITS WITHIN
A TIMELY MANNER. BUT BACKGROUND
AFTER CITIES APPROVED PLANS AN
ENTITLEMENTS FOR PROJECT THE
NEXT UPPER CITIES IS THE PROCESS
THE APPLICATION FOR ALL BUILDING
PERMITS. FOR THE DEVELOPER. AB
TWO TO THREE FOUR DID NOT EXTEND
THIS PROCESS TO SPECIAL
DISTRICTS. OFTENTIMES THIS THAT
THEY ALSO OCCUR IN THE TIMELY
MANNER FOR VARIOUS REASONS SOME
OF THESE REASONS RELATE TO
STOPPING CAPACITY. OR LACK OF
EFFICIENT AND TIMELY
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN PARTIES.
REGARDLESS OF THE REASON AB TWO
EIGHT ONE WHAT ESTABLISH
TIMELINES FOR SPECIAL DISTRICTS
TO REVIEW A PROCESS. AND PROJECT
WHEN FEEDBACK IS REQUIRED FOR
THE ISSUANCE OF THE POST
ENTITLEMENTS PERMIT BY A LOCAL
AGENCY. AB TWO EIGHT ONE IS A
STRAIGHTFORWARD SOLUTION TO HELP
PREVENT UNNECESSARY DELAYS AND
ADDED PROJECT COST WHEN BUILDING
CRITICAL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER GRAYSON FOR THIS
. REALLY IMPORTANT BILL AND I
WAS WHAT I WAS CURIOUS ABOUT IS.
HOW THERE'S NO OPPOSITION. FROM
THE ANY SPECIAL DISTRICTS WHO
SAY WE DON'T HAVE THE STAFFING
WE NEED TO HIRE SPECIAL EXPERTS
WHAT YOU KNOW IS THERE MONEY HI
WHAT WHAT WHAT CAN YOU JUST
DESCRIBE WHAT WAS HAPPENING
THERE. A LOT OF MEETINGS A LOT
OF COLLABORATION OPEN OPEN
OFFICE OPEN MINDS TO WHAT THE-
SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND THEIR
SPECIAL NEEDS ARE. AND WE WORK
VERY VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM THIS
IS BEEN A MULTI YEAR
CONVERSATIONS SO- WE WERE GLAD
TO GET TO A GOOD LANDING SPOT.
OKAY BUT THERE'S REALLY NO
CONCESSION IN THERE RELATED TO
THOSE THINGS RIGHT I MEAN THEY
JUST CAME AROUND TO SEE IT YOUR
WAY- WELL IT WASN'T SO MUCH THAT
CAME AROUND TO SEE IT OUR WAY
IT'S JUST THAT- WE WERE ABLE TO
WORK WITH THEM AND MAKE SURE THE
LANGUAGE WAS SOMETHING THAT THEY
COULD WORK WITH. AND CREATING
PARITY AND ONCE- A B. TWENTY TWO
I BELIEVE IS TWENTY TO THIRTY
FOUR PASSED. I THINK- THEY WERE
ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS
THAT THEY- NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE COMMENTS THIS IS.
SPECIAL DISTRICTS DON'T
ACTUALLY. DELIVER ON ISSUING
PERMITS THEY ONLY PROVIDE
FEEDBACK. SO I THINK IT WAS- IT
WAS A LOT EASIER FOR THEM TO GET
TO A GOOD WORKING PLACE. THAN IT
WAS FOR THE LOCALS THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY
OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS
CONCERNS- EMOTION. THERE IS A
MOTION. ASSEMBLY MEMBER WILL
ALLOW YOU TO CONCLUDE. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR I DISRESPECTFULLY
ASTRONAUT. REGRET I'M- THERE IS
A MOTION THE MOTION IS TO PASS
THE HOUSING. IS CHOLERA.
SENATORS CABALLERO HI CABALLERO
I SEE ARE TO. THEIR TOW AYE
BLAKE'S BEER. LEG SPINNER I
DOLLY. DALI I DO WRESTLE. PRESS
I GLAZER. SKINNER WIENER. WIENER
I AM SIX ZERO. SIX ZERO WILL PUT
THAT ON CALL FOR THE ABSENT
MEMBERS. WILL BE ON FILE ITEM
NUMBER EIGHT AB EIGHT TWENTY ONE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR YEARS. EIGHT
TWENTY THE FIFTH NOW I KNOW I
KNOW IT IT I'D THIS IS WHY
MEMORY NET. WE PLANNED IT THAT
TIME. AT THAT SO AB THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS I DO
WANT TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE-
THAT HAVE BEEN PROPOSED BY THE
COMMITTEE. AB EIGHT TWENTY ONE
IS A SIMPLE BILL THAT WOULD HELP
PREVENT DELAYS IN HOUSING
PRODUCTION THAT ACTUALLY HELPS
FACILITATE THE MUCH NEEDED
HOUSING THAT THE STATE NEEDS.
THIS BILL SEEKS TO ADDRESS
INSTANCES WHERE A LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS GENERAL PLAN MAY
BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ZONING ORDINANCES
SO THE UNDER THIS BILL IF
THERE'S A SITUATION WHERE AN
APPLICATION IS SUBMITTED WHERE
THE GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING ARE
INCONSISTENT. THE LOCAL
JURISDICTION WOULD HAVE TWO
OPTIONS THEY WOULD EITHER HAVE
TO PROCESS THE APPLICATION FOR
DEVELOPMENT AND ALLOWED TO MOVE
FORWARD OR AMEND THE ZONING
ORDINANCES FOR THAT DEVELOPMENT
TO MAKE THEM CONSISTENT WITH THE
GENERAL PLAN WITHIN ONE HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY DAYS. LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ARE REQUIRED BY
STATUTE TO HAVE THEIR GENERAL
PLANS AND ZONING ORDINANCES
CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER. BUT
THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE
INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN THE
GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING MAY
HAPPEN FOR SEVERAL REASONS
INCLUDING GENERAL PLAN UPDATES-
PLAN AMENDMENTS. SO CURRENTLY IF
THERE IS AN INCONSISTENCY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS MUST BY LAW MUST
AMEND THEIR ZONING ORDINANCES TO
BECOME CONSISTENT WITH THEIR
GENERAL PLAN WITHIN A QUARTER
QUOTE REASONABLE TIME. WELL THIS
IS THE REQUIREMENT THERE IS NO
DEFINED TIMELINE FOR WHAT QUOTE
UNQUOTE REASONABLE TIME WOULD BE
LEADING TO DELAYS FOR MONTHS AND
IN SOME CASES EVEN YEARS. SO
THAT ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAY
TIMELINE THAT THIS BILL WOULD
IMPOSE FOR REZONING IS
REASONABLE. AND CONSISTENT WITH
THE GUIDELINES FROM THE OFFICE
OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH THAT
RECOMMENDED UP TO A HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS FOR MINOR UPDATES
FOR ZONING ORDINANCES. AB EIGHT
TWENTY ONE WILL HELP BRING A
CLEAR TIMELINE TO WHAT IS
CONSIDERED REASONABLE AND WILL
HELP PREVENT FURTHER DELAYS IN
HOUSING DEVELOPMENT I DO HAVE TO
THE CHAIR WITH. ME TO TESTIFIED
MICHAEL GUNNING. VERY GOOD.
MISTER GETTING THE FLOORS I YOU
THANK MEDICARE MEMBERS MY
GUNNING- LIGHT PUBLIC AFFAIRS
HERE ON BEHALF OF OUR SPONSOR
SPUR AS WELL AS CIVIC WELL. YOU
KNOW A LOT OF YOUR- REALIZE THAT
I USED TO BE WITH THE BUILDERS
AND ONE OF COURSE THE CHALLENGES
OF COURSE IS TRYING TO GET LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO MOVE FORWARD. I
THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER GRAYSON
HAS STRUCK THE RIGHT BALANCE
HERE ALLOWING CITIES THE TIME.
MAINTAINING LOCAL CONTROL IN THE
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS BUT
CERTAINLY PUSHING FORWARD WITH
PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN
APPROVING DO FIT THE GENERAL
PLAN. SO WE THINK THIS IS A
STRAIGHTFORWARD MEASURE THAT
DOES STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE
DON'T SIMILAR TO LAST ONE BUT-
CERTAINLY WOULD ENCOURAGE YOUR
SUPPORT AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT COME UP. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. IS THERE ANYONE

ALLOW YOU TO CONCLUDE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR THIS
REALLY IS A TOOL THAT- IN POWERS
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS- WHEN IT COMES
TO THEIR ATTENTION- THAT THERE
IS A DISCREPANCY TO BE ABLE TO

THANK YOU SO MUCH MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS AB ELEVEN FOURTEEN
WILL HELP MY DISTRICT OF MUCH
NEEDED HOUSING BY PROHIBITING
APPEALS ON APPROVED HOST
ENTITLEMENT BUILDING PERMITS IN
THE FINAL HOUR. RIGHT NOW ALL
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS GO THROUGH
A SERIES OF STEPS FROM THE
INITIAL PROPOSAL TO CERTIFICATE
OF OCCUPANCY IN MOST CITIES
ACROSS CALIFORNIA THE PROCESS OF
SECURING A POST ENTITLEMENT
BUILDING PERMIT IS AN AUTOMATIC
ACTION THIS MEANS THERE IS ARE
NO OPPORTUNITIES TO APPEAL THE
PERMIT. A ONCE THE PROJECT HAS
ALREADY BEEN APPROVED SAN
FRANCISCO IS ONE OF THE ONLY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT DOES NOT
HAVE AUTOMATIC APPROVAL FOR POST
IN TIME OF BUILDING PERMITS THIS
BECAUSE THE PERMITS AND SAN
FRANCISCO ARE DISCRETIONARY
MEANING THEY CAN FILE LAWSUITS
TO PEEL EVEN AFTER THIS IS BEEN
APPROVED BY THE PLANNING
COMMISSION AND BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS. THIS APPEALS
PROCESS EXACERBATES SAN
FRANCISCO'S ALREADY SEVERE
HOUSING SHORTAGE HAS ALREADY
BEEN DEALT WITH IN MOST OTHER
PARTS OF THE STATE IF NOT ALL.
AND I CREATES YOU CHALLENGES FOR
US TO BE ABLE TO MEET OUR
HOUSING GOALS AS A CITY. IT HAS
RECEIVED UNANIMOUS BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT HI AND- SIMMONS'S
BECAUSE UNIQUE IN MANY WAYS AND
THIS IS NOT ONE WHERE WE WANT TO
CONTINUE TO BE. YOU WANT TO DO
OUR PART AND HOUSING ARE SO WITH
ME HERE TODAY TO TESTIFY IS A
BLACK TANGER FROM THE SILICON
VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP. AND
STEVEN STAND. FOR ON BEHALF OF
THE HOUSING ACTION COALITION.
VERY GOOD. HELLO OF A LIKE WITH
VALLEY LEADERSHIP. THE
LEADERSHIP THIS PLEASE TO VOICE

FOURTEEN AND THINK ASSEMBLY
HANEY FOR CARRYING THE MEASURE.
HOUSING AFFORDABILITY AND EQUITY
ARE OF CRITICAL CONCERN TO THE
WELL BEING OF BAY AREA
COMMUNITIES AND CONTINUED
ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE BAY AREA
AND CALIFORNIA AS A WHOLE. AB
ELEVEN FOURTEEN WOULDN'T INSURE
THAT THERE IS A MINISTERIAL
APPROVALS FOR ALL POST
ENTITLEMENT BUILDING PERMITS. SO
FAR SAN FRANCISCO HAVE NON
MINISTERIAL BUILDING PERMITS
THIS MEANS. ALL NECESSARY
PERMITS AND APPROVALS TO
CONSTRUCT THE PROJECT NEEDS TO
CONFORM WITH APPLICABLE. ZONING
AND BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENTS
THIS ISSUE HOLDS UP OUR HOUSING
PRODUCTION AND PREVENTS US FROM
MEETING OUR HOUSING GOALS. SAN
FRANCISCO IS UNIQUE AS IT IS THE
ONLY CITY WHEN INDIVIDUAL CAN
APPEAL. A BUILDING PERMIT AFTER
PROJECT HAS BEEN APPROVED.
ELEVEN FOURTEEN IS A
STRAIGHTFORWARD SOLUTION WHICH
WILL HELP PREVENT UNNECESSARY
DELAYS AND ADDED PROJECT COSTING
BUILDING CRITICAL HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. NOT
CALIFORNIA THANK YOU. AND VERY
MUCH. GOOD MORNING STEVEN SANDS

TROUBLE THREE BILL SEEKS TO
ESTABLISH TAXPAYER D. BETWEEN
BREAST FEEDING AND FORMULA
FEEDING THE BILL CREATES A SALES
TAX EXEMPTION FOR BREAST PUMPS
PADS AND STORAGE SUPPLIES AS A
FAMILY DOC. I AM ACUTELY AWARE
OF THE BENEFITS OF BREASTMILK WE
KNOW THAT BREAST FED BABIES HAVE
A LOWER RISK OF WIDE SPECTRUM OF
ILLNESSES RANGING FROM
INFECTIONS AND PNEUMONIA TO
SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME AND
LEUKEMIA. BREAST PUMPS ARE AN
ESSENTIAL TOOL TO EASE A
DIFFICULT TRANSITION THAT
PARENTS FACE WITH RETURNING TO
THE WORKFORCE BY ALLOWING THEM
TO COLLECT AND STORE. VITAL
NUTRIENTS FOR FUTURE USE HOWEVER
THESE PUMPS AND RELATED SUPPLIES
CAN BE PRETTY EXPENSIVE
ESPECIALLY FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIANS COMPOUNDING THIS
FINANCIAL BURDEN IS THE
IMPOSITION THE OF CALIFORNIA
SALES TAX MEANWHILE INFANT
FORMULA IS EXEMPT FROM THIS
TAXATION. GIVEN THE OVERWHELMING
BENEFITS OF BREAST FEEDING AND
THE FINANCIAL BURDEN OF CURRENT
TAX ON NEW PARENTS- AB TOTAL
THREE ASKS THAT BREAST FEEDING
BE TAXED AT THE SAME RATE AS
FORMULA FEEDING. AB TROUBLE
THREE ENJOYS SUPPORT FROM A
GROWING COALITION INCLUDING THE
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
MATERNAL AND CHILD HEALTH ACCESS
CALIFORNIA CATHOLIC CONFERENCE
THE CALIFORNIA BREASTFEEDING
COALITION AND THE CALIFORNIA
NURSES ASSOCIATION HERE WITH ME
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT I HAVE
JUST GOOD THOMAS A LACTATION
CONSULTANT. VERY GOOD. WELCOME.
MY NAME IS JESSICA THOMAS I AM
AN A. B. C. L. C. AND I HAVE
SERVED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE
PAST NINE YEARS. I HAVE TWO
CHILDREN THAT I BREASTFED IN
YEARS TO COME WITH- I'VE WORKED
IN HOSPITALS BIRTH CENTERS
PRIVATE CLINICS AND MY PRIVATE
PRACTICE. IN MY POSITION I WORK
WITH NURSING PARENTS- ON THEIR
BREASTFEEDING JOURNEY. I'VE SEEN
HUNDREDS OF PATIENTS. AND MORE
THAN 75% OF THEM NEED OR SHOULD
BE USING BREAST PUMP STATE ON
THEIR JOURNEY. CURRENTLY IN
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE WHO PUMP ARE
REQUIRED TO PAY SALES TAX ON
PURCHASED BREAST PUMP EQUIPMENT.
WELL INFANT FORMULA IS EXEMPT
FROM THIS TAXATION. RESTAURANTS
ARE NECESSITIES FOR NURSING
PARENTS ESPECIALLY FOR WORKING
MOMS THAT HAVE BEEN RETURNED TO
THE WORK PLACE. AND I'VE CHOSEN
TO BREAST FEED BEYOND THE
INITIAL MATERNITY LEAVE PERIOD.
THOSE WHO HAVE LITTLE OR NO
MATERNITY LEAVE FOR A VARIETY OF
MEDICAL REASONS. SUCH AS WHEN
INFANTS ARE PREMATURE AND ARE
UNABLE TO LAUNCH. BREATHNACH
ALSO HAS SEVERAL HEALTH
BENEFITS. CAN HELP PROTECT
BABIES AGAINST SOME SHORT AND
LONG TERM ILLNESSES AND DISEASES
AS WELL AS THE BREASTFEEDING
PARENT. BREASTFED BABIES HAVE A
LOWER RISK OF ASTHMA AND OBESITY
TYPE ONE DIABETES AND SUDDEN
INFANT DEATH SYNDROME. RESEARCH
ALSO SHOWS THAT BREASTFED BABIES
ARE LESS LIKELY TO HAVE
INFECTIONS AND STOMACH BUGS.
KEEPING THE BABY'S HEALTHY SAVE
FAMILIES AND OUR HEALTH SYSTEM
MONEY. I'M URGING YOU TO REMOVE
THE UNNECESSARY BARRIERS FOR
WOMEN AND FAMILIES WHO WANT TO
PROVIDE BEST ABOUT FOR THEIR
INFANT CHILDREN. AS A
PROFESSIONAL WORKING WITH
NURSING PARENTS FROM ANY SOCIO
ECONOMIC LEVELS THIS LEGISLATION
WILL HELP. CALIFORNIA FAMILIES

NUMBER SIXTEEN AB EIGHT. NINETY

. FLOOR'S YOURS. VERY MUCH.
MEMBERS I WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK ON THE BILL
I'M GOING TO BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AS NOTED IN
COMMON FIVE STARTING ON PAGE
FIVE OF THE ANALYSIS. THERE ARE
FIFTEEN MILLION PARKING SPACES
IN THE BAY AREA ENOUGH THAT IF
THEY WERE PUT AN END TO END THEY
WOULD STRETCH AROUND THE WORLD
TWO POINT THREE TIMES. LA IS
ALMOST SIX MILLION PARKING
SPACES OR ONE AND A HALF FOR
EVERY RESIDENT INCLUDING
CHILDREN. OFTEN WHAT APPEARS AS
A PARKING SHORTAGE IS ACTUALLY A
LACK OF PARKING MANAGEMENT WHAT
THIS BILL DOES IS IT ALLOWS
DEVELOPERS IF THEY WANT TO
CONTRACT WITH NEARBY
UNDERUTILIZED PARKING LOTS AND
PARKING SPACES TO USE THOSE
SPACES TOWARDS THE THEIR CODE.
REQUIREMENTS FOR PROVIDING
PARKING FOR THEIR OWN
DEVELOPMENT IT DOESN'T FORCE ANY
DEVELOPER TO DO THIS IT DOESN'T
FORCE ANY PARKING LOT TO OWNER
TO DO THIS IT JUST SAYS THAT IF
YOU'RE BUILDING A PROPERTY
YOU'RE BUILDING A PROJECT. AND
THE PERSON NEXT DOOR HAS A
BUILDING THAT HAS FIVE UNDER
UTILIZED PARKING SPACES OR HAS A
COUPLE OF UNDER UTILIZED
PARKING. TEARS WHICH IS THE CASE
IN THE BUILDING WHERE MY OFFICE
IS WHAT WE HAVE FOR TEARS OF A
MULTI LEVEL PARKING LOT THAT ARE
NEVER EVER USE THOSE DEVELOPERS
CAN ENTER INTO A COVENANT
BETWEEN THEMSELVES. AND THAT
FIRST DEVELOPER CAN USE THAT
PARKING TO COUNT TOWARDS THEIR
CODE. A MANY CITIES ALREADY DO
THIS BUT MANY OF THE SMALLER
CITIES HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY
JUST DON'T HAVE. THE TIME THEY
DON'T HAVE THEM IN THE EXPERTISE
THEY DON'T HAVE THE MANPOWER TO
ACTUALLY DO THIS. THIS WOULD BE
AS A STATE REQUIREMENT TO ALLOW
ALL OF THE CITIES TO DO THIS. IS
A VERY COMMON SENSE BILL THAT
JUST ALLOWS DEVELOPERS TO WORK
WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS. AND IT
HELPS TO- HELPS THE DEVELOPERS
AND IT CERTAINLY HELPS OUR
CLIMATE- OUR CLIMATE CRISIS
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE UNUSED
PARKING SPACES WERE NOT POURING
CONCRETE THAT WE DON'T NEED
STILL THAT WE DON'T NEED.
THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD REASONS TO
DO THIS AND NO GOOD REASONS NOT
TO DO IT I WOULD URGE AN AYE
VOTE. VERY GOOD- YOU HAVE ANYWAY
. WHO DO I HAVE TO WITNESSES AND
- WE HAVE A PATRICK SILICON. AND
ROGER DICKENS- I THINK IS UP
FIRST FROM CIVIC WELL. PRETTY
GOOD WELCOME. GOOD MORNING MADAM
CHAIR IN AND MEMBER ROGER. THE
POLICY TO FOR SO WELL FOR. THE
LOCAL GUY. COMMISSION AND- ONE
THANK SOME REMEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR
HER AUTHORSHIP AND LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ON THIS ISSUE SHE'S
EXPLAINED THE BILL WELL BUT I
JUST WANNA PUNCTUATE. THREE
QUICK POINTS FOR YOU THAT ARE
MERITS OF THIS BILL IN
PARTICULAR. FIRST OF ALL A. B.
NINE. EIGHT NINETY FOUR WILL
INCREASE THE EFFICIENT USE OF
LAND I THINK WE ALL KNOW BY OUR
OWN OBSERVATION HOW MUCH LAND IS
DEDICATED TO THE PARKING.
SURFACE PARKING IN PARTICULAR
BUT ALSO ALSO STRUCTURES- AND WE
SEE THAT THAT THAT LAND- AND
OFTEN- CASES SITS EMPTY. AS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN HAS HAS
POINTED OUT WE CAN REDUCE THAT
LAND MAKE BETTER USE OF THE OF
THE LAND FOR PARKING PURPOSES.
AND REVITALIZED MORE LAND FOR
USE- FOR BUILDINGS AND I AND
OTHER USES- CONSISTENT WITH OUR
INTENTIONS- FOR- OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS IN OUR DOWNTOWNS-
SECOND AB NINETY. EIGHT NINETY
FOUR WILL REDUCE THE COST OF
DEVELOPMENT IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO
BUILD SO MUCH PARKING BECAUSE
YOU CAN ENTER INTO A SHARED
AGREEMENT WITH A NEARBY
NEIGHBOR. FOR PARKING THAT BY
DEFINITION WILL REDUCE THE COST
OF DEVELOPMENT SO THIS REALLY
WILL WILL HELP. RELIEVE THAT
COST AND SPUR MORE. KINDS OF
DEVELOPMENT THAT WE WOULD LIKE
TO SEE AND THIRDLY AB NINE EIGHT
NINETY FOUR INCLUDES
REQUIREMENTS THAT ENSURE. THAT
ONLY APPLIES WHERE IT MAKES
SENSE SO AS WE APPLY THIS IT
WHERE IT'S IT MAKES GOOD COMMON
SENSE TO COME INTO THESE SHARING
AGREEMENTS THAT'S WHERE THEY
THEY WILL HAPPEN AND THEY WILL.
BETWEEN THE PARTIES WORK IT OUT
AND THEY WILL DO IT WITH THE
BLESSING OF THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT- TO GET THOSE FIRST
TWO BENEFITS THAT I WAS
MENTIONING. AND WE RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST. YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. GOOD MORNING MAN

RECENTLY THERE THEY DON'T HAVE
THE ABILITY BILL TO DO THAT. AND
THAT'S WHY THE NEED FOR THIS
BILL IS FOUR THOUSAND ONE ONE
MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. YES SO
FOR OUR CITIES WOULD HAVE TO GO
THROUGH A PUBLIC PROCESS THEY
MIGHT HAVE TO DO AN
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW THEY HAVE
TO GO THROUGH THE WHOLE CLUED
UPDATING PROCESS THAT THEY WOULD
NORMALLY HAVE TO GO THROUGH
WHICH IS WHY BAKERSFIELD AND
OTHERS ARE SAYING HEY JUST
WANTED TO DO THIS LIKE WE'D LIKE
TO DO IT. WE DON'T REALLY WANT
TO DEVOTE MANPOWER TO IT
NECESSARILY RIGHT NOW GIVEN
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT THEY HAVE
TO DO SO- ON THE ONE HAND YES
THE DRAWBACK IS WE ARE OBSERVING
SOME LOCAL CONTROL BUT WE
HAVEN'T HEARD THAT SHARED
PARKING IS A CONCERN FOR CITIES
YOU KNOW THEY'RE JUST NOT
CALLING AND SAYING OH MY GOD IF
WE DO THIS. EXPLAINS IT WOULD
HAPPEN BUT WE HAVE HAD CITY'S
COLIN SO YOU KNOW WE'D LIKE TO
DO THIS WE'VE- BEEN ON OUR LIST.
WE JUST HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO IT SO
THEN MY FOLLOW UP QUESTION WOULD
BE THAT IT'S NOT MANDATORY IT'S
THEIR CHOICE- TO BE ABLE TO
EXERCISE THIS SO IF THEY DO
REQUIRE- THE DEVELOPER TO. ADD
PARKING SPACE IN THERE SO I'M
NOT AVAILABLE THEN THERE'S NO
CRITERIA THAT SAYS HEY YOU HAVE
TO USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. OR
SOME OTHER- ANY CLEAR SAID TO BE
CLEAR- IT WOULD REQUIRE THE
CITIES TO ACCEPT A SHARED
PARKING AGREEMENT BUT THEY COULD
DECIDE WHAT THAT SURE PARKING
REMAIN. IS SO. THEY WOULDN'T BE
OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION THIS
WOULD LITERALLY BE. SOMEONE THAT
HAS A PARKING LOT THAT HAS IT
ALL COMMERCIAL BUILDING THAT IS
PARKING LOT NO ONE'S USING IT.
THEY ON SOMEONE'S GONNA BUILD. A
TARGET NEXT TO IT MAY SAY THIS
IS PERFECTLY GOOD LOT THAT IS
NOT BEING USED I'M GONNA ENTER
INTO A COVENANT. THE CITY THEN
COULD SAY HEY WE WANT TEN YEARS
OR WE WANT. A CERTAIN TYPE OF
COVERED IT WE WANT TO GUARANTEE
THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE TO THE
TO THE CITY IS ABLE TO. YOU KNOW
APPROVE THE COVENANT AND THE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO
DEVELOPERS. BUT UNDER OUR BILL
THAT WOULD BE BY RIGHT ONCE THEY
APPROVE WHATEVER THE SCHEMAS. SO
THEY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE UP FOR
WHATEVER THE CODE IS IF THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO PROVIDE A HUNDRED
SPACES. THE CITY COULD SAY
YOU'VE GOT A SHOW IS THAT YOU
HAVE A HUNDRED SPACES FOR X.
AMOUNT OF YEARS. SO THE CITIES
WOULD HAVE TO ACCEPT SOME FORM
OF SHARED PARKING THAT'S KIND OF
WHAT THE BILL DOES. BUT IT
DOESN'T TELL THEM WHAT THEY'RE-
KIND OF WHAT. YOU KNOW THEY THEY
STILL GET THE CHANCE TO APPROVE
THAT RIGHT THEY COULD THEY
COULD. DEVELOP FIFTY THOSE AND
THEN THE OTHER FIFTY THEY COULD
THAT WERE NON. USED TO DO BE
ABLE TO DO THE S. THEY YOU FOR
THAT- ACTUALLY. I'M IN SUPPORT
YOUR BILL I THINK IT HAS TO COME
. SENSE OF. VERY GOOD. DO WE
HAVE A MOTION. OKAY THERE IS A

STICKING WITH THE PARKING THEME
I'M PRESENTING TODAY ASSEMBLY
BILL THIRTEEN ZERO. ZERO EIGHT.
OUT WHICH PROHIBITS NEW MINIMUM
PARKING REQUIREMENTS FIREMAN'S
FOR REMODELING UPDATING OR
ADDING TO A SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENCE AS LONG AS IT STAYS
WITHIN THE FLOOR AREA RATIO.
RESTRICTION CURRENT REGULATIONS
FORCE HOMEOWNERS TO ADD TO
COVERED PARKING SPACES FOR ANY
REMODEL OR ADD ON EVEN IF THEY
DO NOT OWN ADDITIONAL CARS
COSTING UPWARDS OF TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN USING
VALUABLE LAND SPACE. THIS
CREATES AN EGG IN EQUITY FOR OWN
HOMEOWNERS SEEKING TO MAKE
ADDITIONS THAT DO NOT INCREASE
PARKING DEMAND. OUR LAWS DO NOT
REQUIRE ASSESSOR RECOVERY
DWELLING UNITS TO BUILD A NEW
GARAGE HOWEVER WE CURRENTLY ARE
ASKING HOMEOWNERS IF THEY WANT
TO DO A REMODEL. TO BUILD
ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES AB
THIRTEEN ZERO EIGHT IS NOT ABOUT
BUILDING NEW HOUSING WITHOUT
PARKING IT SIMPLY SAYS THAT IF
OF HOMEOWNER ADDS A ROOM TO
THEIR SINGLE FAMILY HOUSE THE
CITY CANNOT COMPEL THEM TO BUILD
A NEW GARAGE. FOR EXAMPLE
CONSIDER A FAMILY OF FIVE WHO
HAS OWNED A VERY OLD HOME WITH
ONLY ONE BATHROOM. A LITTLE FUN
FACT I GREW UP IN A THREE
BEDROOM HOUSE. WITH ONE BATHROOM
AND TEN SIBLINGS OR NINE
SIBLINGS IN ORDER TO ADD IN
UNDER. TO ADD IN UNDER THREE
HUNDRED SQUARE FOOT BATHROOM TO
THEIR HOME CITY RULES REQUIRE
THAT IT THEY BUILD A NEW TWO CAR
GARAGE THE FAMILY WAS NOT ADDING
MORE PEOPLE IN THEIR HOME AND
THEY WERE NOT GOING OVER THERE
FLOOR AREA RATIO. THEY WERE
SIMPLY TRYING TO UPDATE THEIR
FIRST HOME TO MAKE IT USABLE FOR
MODERN LIVING STANDARDS. THIS IS
BURDENSOME OVERREACHING RULE
WHICH THIS BILL WILL REMEDY AB
THIRTEEN ZERO EIGHT SIMPLY
SIMPLY GIVES HOMEOWNERS THE
FLEXIBILITY DECIDE THEIR PARKING
NEEDS AND AFFORDABILITY INSTEAD
OF REQUIRING THEM TO COMPLY WITH
THE ONE SIZE FITS ALL MANDATE.
HERE WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN

CALIFORNIA'S TO MISS OF CRISIS
WEATHER'S NO SINGLE FOR THIS
UNDERSUPPLY OF HOUSING DUE IN
LARGE PART OF EXCESSIVE BARRIERS
TO PRODUCTION. IS ONE MAJOR
FACTOR CONTRIBUTE TO THE HIGH
COST OF HOUSING VERY SUCH A
BURDENSOME PARKING REQUIREMENTS.
LOCAL ORDINANCE IN MANY CITIES
AND COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE
REQUIRES SINGLE FAMILY HOME OR
TO ADD TO COVER PARKING SPACES
FOR ANY. REMODEL UPDATE OR
ADDITION. THIS WILL CREATE AN
EQUITY. FOR HOMEOWNERS SEEKING
TO BUILD ADDITIONS THE REQUIRED
TO NOT GENERATE ADDITIONAL
PARKING DEMAND- ROBARTES EXCESS
PARKING REQUIREMENTS HOMEOWNER.
AB THIRTEEN A ABLE WILL PROHIBIT
PUBLIC AGENCIES POSING A NEW

ANYBODY WHO WOULD LIKE TO

MADAM CHAIR IF YOUR SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION TO AB ONE THREE ZERO
EIGHT PLEASE PRESS ONE ZERO AT
THIS TIME WHEN FILED BY ZERO. I
MENTIONED- BUT HE'S KILLING UP
VERY GOOD WILL BRING IT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE FOR COMMENTS
MOTIONS. CENTER DOLLY. SO- I
WILL NEVER TAKE ON THIS ONE AND
I DID THE LAST ONES AND I JUST
NEED SOME CLARIFICATION- SO ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD
WITH ALL THE ADDITION OF EIGHTY
USE- AND NOT REQUIRING PARKING
IS THAT WE HAVE. MANY CULTISTS
SACKS WHERE WE HAVE. YOU KNOW
WERE PEOPLE ARE ADDING EIGHTY
USE AND THERE'S NO PLACE TO PARK
AND IT REQUIRES IT IT'S A PUBLIC
SAFETY. ISSUE WHERE IF YOU HAVE
FIRE WE HAVE SOMETHING HAPPEN
WHERE YOU'RE TRYING TO YOU THAT.
GET PEOPLE OUT WHEN PEOPLE ARE
PART THERE'S NO PARKING BUT
THEY'RE STILL PARKING THERE. SO
HOW DO YOU ADDRESS THAT ISSUE-
WITH THIS BILL. WELL THIS BILL
IS. FOCUSING ON SINGLE FAMILY
HOMES THAT ARE ALREADY BUILT IN
IT'S ABOUT. JUST DOING SOME TYPE
OF ADDITION SO YOU'RE NOT
FOCUSING ON BUILDING ANOTHER
UNIT ON THE SAME PROPERTY. A
SOME OF US LOVE TO WATCH HER
FAVORITE FIXER UP SHOWS IN ALL
OF THE H. T. T. V. A. N. ON
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE SHOWS
THEY'RE SHOWING HOW TO MAXIMIZE
THE SPACE IN YOUR HOUSE. TO
WHETHER IT'S AN EXTRA BATHROOM
WHETHER IT'S AN EXTRA BEDROOM-
BUT NOT NECESSARILY BUILDING IN
ANOTHER UNIT SO I THINK. THE
FOCUS ON THIS IS JUST TO ALLOW
SINGLE FAMILY OWNER TO. CREATE
THAT RENOVATION IN THEIR HOME.
NOT NECESSARILY ADDING
ADDITIONAL PEOPLE OR ADDITIONAL
CARS- I HAVE FOR MY OWN A ADULT
KIDS NOW AND I KNOW THAT- AND WE
HAVE DONE SOME ADDITION.
ADDITIONS TO OUR HOME AND YET WE
DIDN'T ADD ADDITIONAL CARS-
THEY'VE NOW MOVED ON OUT TO US
SO THIS IS NOT NECESSARILY
FOCUSING. ON NEW PEOPLE ON THE
PROPERTY. BUT WE'VE EXEMPTED I
BELIEVE WE HAVE EXEMPTED PARKING
FOR EIGHTY YEARS AS WELL SO IF
YOU HAVE EIGHTY YOU IN THE- IN
IN. ON THE SAME PARCEL AND THEN
YOU HAVE. ADDITION YOU ADDING
MORE ROOMS IS MORE PEOPLE THAT
AND WE HAVE LAWS FOR- FOR
EXAMPLE IF YOU'RE IN A RURAL
AREA WHERE YOU HAVE- YOU KNOW A
SEPTIC THERE'S A REASON IF YOU
HAVE SO MANY. SO MANY ROOMS YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN SIZE OF A
SEPTIC TO. ACCOMMODATE FOR
THOSE- AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE A
BUILDING PERMIT PROCESS SO. UP
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT WE
HAVE CONGESTION WHERE WE
SHOULDN'T HAVE CONGESTION NOT
THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE. PEOPLE
HAVE TO ADD ONE BUT IT'S A
COMMON SENSE APPROACH AND WE'RE
WE'RE SAYING THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO IT WE'RE ACTUALLY MAKING A
LAW THAT SAYS. YOU HAVE TO
ADDRESS THOSE COMMONSENSE LAWS
THAT WE HAVE WHERE WE HAVE
PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUES. AND THAT
THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH THIS
BILL- IS THAT WORK FOR EXISTS
EXITING THE LOCALS TO MAKE THOSE
COMMONSENSE APPROACH DECISIONS
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL SAYING HEY
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS. SO
THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH THE BILL
THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE THAT
ALLOWS. WHEN WE HAVE THOSE-
SITUATIONS WHERE THE LOCALS. SAY
HEY THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE YOU
NEED EITHER OUT PARKING OR YOU
DON'T HAVE PARKING AVAILABLE-
AND YOU HAVE A STREET THAT IS
TOTALLY CONGESTED AND IT'S A
PUBLIC SAFETY ISSUE SO THAT'S-
THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO NAIL
DOWN IS THAT YOU KNOW THIS BILL.
BASICALLY SAYS. IT'S TAKING WAY
THAT COMMONSENSE LOCAL- PLANNERS
TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE RIGHT
DECISION FOR THAT COMMUNITY IS A
STATEWIDE LAW. THIS IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT IS- YOU KNOW. IS
NOBODY NO OF THE BILL TO BE ABLE
TO- SAY NOW. AND I THINK THERE'S
OPPORTUNITIES WHERE WE SHOULD
SAY NO- BECAUSE OF THE PUBLIC
SAFETY PART OF IT. VERY GOOD.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR CONCERNS.
ENTERTAINMENT SHIN. ARE
ACTUALLY- WILL ALLOW YOU TO
CONCLUDE MOMENTO MOTION.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. VERY GOOD SIR MOTION.
CENTER DRAWS A MOVES. MOTIONS TO

MEMBERS THANK YOU. MOVING ON TO-
FILE ITEM NUMBER NINETEEN.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER SO IDEA. YEAH HE
GESTURED. HE'S BEEN WAITING.
FILE ITEM NUMBER NINETEEN AB.
TWELVE FIFTY NINE. GOOD MORNING
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. SO MEMBERS AB
TWELVE FIFTY NINE IS A DISTRICT
BILL THAT ONLY APPLIES TO THE
CITY OF MERCED- SO WE ALL KNOW
THAT WITH THE ELIMINATION OF RDA
OR RATE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES
LOCAL ENTITIES WERE LEFT WITHOUT
AN OP IMPORTANT AND EFFECTIVE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL TO
REDEVELOP BLIGHTED AREAS INVEST
IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE. AND
FACILITATE THE DEVELOPMENT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO AS A
SUBSIDY TO AN RDA THE STATE HAS
ALLOWED LOCAL ENTITIES TO HAVE
THE ABILITY TO ESTABLISH AN
ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE
FINANCING DISTRICT WHICH IS A
TOOL TO HELP REDUCE THE BLIGHT
IMPROVE PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
AND INCREASE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT. THIS BILL IN
PARTICULAR PAVE THE WAY FOR THE
CITY OF MERCED TO ESTABLISH AN
ENHANCED INFRASTRUCTURE
FINANCING DISTRICT TO FUND
PROJECTS WHICH WILL FURTHER THE
CITY'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOALS
AND ARE IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE
STATE'S PRIORITIES SUCH. SUCH AS
TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND
RESPECTIVE RAIL PROJECTS THAT HE
I. F. D. WILL ALSO FIND
NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE
IMPROVEMENTS TO SUPPORT A
GROWING UC MERCED CAMPUS.
WITHOUT THIS BILL THE CITY OF
MERCED WILL BE UNABLE TO FORM AN
E. I. F. T. DUE TO NOT RECEIVING
A FINDING OF COMPLETION FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WHEN TO
SOLVING ITS- FORMER DEBATE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY BACK IN
TWENTY FIFTEEN. ON THE ISSUES
AROUND A SOLVING MERCED FORMER
RDA HAVE BEEN RESOLVED- AND SO
THE CITY OF MERCED HAS MADE
STRIDES SINCE TWENTY FIFTEEN AND
IT'S ON TRACK TO RECEIVE ITS PRO
HOUSING DESIGNATION FROM THE
STATE. AND IT'S CONSIDERED A
GOOD ACTOR IN INCREASING THE
SUPPLY OF HOUSING SO HERE TODAY
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT I HAVE-
SHARING CONSOLE THIS ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF MERCED. VERY GOOD
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE SCHERING GONZALEZ. ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY OF MERCY THE
SPONSORED TWELVE FIFTY NINE WHEN
TO THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBERS FOR
CARRYING THIS LEGISLATION ON
BEHALF OF THE CITY. AS MENTIONED
AB TWELVE FIFTY NINE WOULD ALLOW
THE CITY TO FORM AN ENHANCED
INFRASTRUCTURE FINANCING
DISTRICT WHEN HE F. D. SIMILAR
TO A BILL THAT WAS PASSED BY
THIS COMMITTEE AND SIGNED INTO
LAW LAST YEAR. AB TWENTY SEVEN
EIGHTY BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
ARAMBULA. AS PART OF THE WINDING
DOWN OF THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT
AGENCY- THERE WAS A TWENTY
FIFTEEN DEADLINE IN ORDER TO-
COMPLETE DISSOLUTION IN ORDER TO
ROUTE. SENIOR CERTIFICATE OF
COMPLETION AT THAT TIME THE CITY
OF MERCED WAS ONE OF SEVERAL
AGENCIES. THAT TIME DID NOT MEET
THE REQUIREMENTS. TODAY THE CITY
IS UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP AND THEY
WORK REALLY DID DILIGENTLY TO
GET THEIR CITIES AFFAIRS IN GOOD
STANDING. WITH ALL PARTNERS
INCLUDING THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. THE PARTY ASSETS HAVE
BEEN DISPOSED OF AND A
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT IS NOT ONLY
IN PLACE BUT ANTICIPATED TO BE-
SETTLED BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE AS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS-
HOWEVER UNDER EXISTING PARTY A
LAW THE CITY IS RESTRICTED IN
PERPETUITY. FROM ENTERING
CERTAIN- BEING ABLE TO USE
CERTAIN FINANCING MECHANISMS
INCLUDING E. I. FT'S- THE BILL
AS DRAFTED AS GUARDRAILS IN
PLACE THAT WOULD ONLY ALLOW THE
CITY TO ENTER INTO AN EFT.
SHOULD THEY GET- ONCE THE FINAL
DEAL F. PAYMENT IS HAS BEEN
MADE- SO. IN THE MIDST OF A
STATEWIDE HOUSING SHORTAGE HAND
COMBATING HOMELESSNESS THE
CITY'S NOT ONLY. EAGER TO BUILD
HOUSING BUT THEY WANT TO BUILD
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THEY'VE GOT
A- VERY TRANSIT ORIENTED
DOWNTOWN WHICH WILL BE-
CURRENTLY. THERE'S TWO RAIL
STATIONS IT'LL ALSO BE HOME TO A
FUTURE HIGH SPEED RAIL STATION.
AND- WE'RE JUST LOOKING FOR AND-
ONE OF THE TOOL YOU KNOW A TOOL
THAT AS OTHER JURISDICTIONS HAVE
IN ORDER TO BUILD HOUSING SO
WITH THAT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH IS THERE ANYONE
ELSE IN ROOM TWENTY ONE HUNDRED
THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT. IS THERE ANYBODY THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION. SING NINE IT WILL
MOVE ON TO THE TELECONFERENCE
LINE AND SEE IF THERE'S ANYBODY
THAT WANTS TO BE IN SUPPORT OR
IN OPPOSITION. IF YOU ARE
SUPPORTER OPPOSITION PLEASE
PRESS ONE FOLLOWED BY ZEROS THIS
TIME ONE STYLE BY. ZERO M.
MANAGER WITH NO PARTICIPANTS
KILLING UP VERY GOOD WILL BRING
IT TO THE COMMITTEE FOR.
COMMENTS QUESTIONS CONCERNS
MOTION. CENTER DOLLY HELLO. OKAY
WELL I JUST WANT TO. I SO DO THE
SECOND TIME WE'VE SEE. BILLS IN
THIS COMMITTEE ON REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES THAT WE YOU KNOW THE
GOVERNOR BROWN. WE ALL OPPOSED
RTA'S AND WE WERE WERE WE WANTED
TO SEE THOSE CONTINUE THAT WAS
THE ROSE A FEW BAD ACTORS BUT IT
FOR THE MOST PART RTA'S. REALLY
WORK SO MY QUESTION IS- SINCE
MERCED WAS REALLY NEVER RATIFIED
IN THERE ALREADY A- THEY DAY
MISTER DEADLINES WHAT ABOUT THE
TAXING AUTHORITIES FOR THE OTHER
LOCAL DISTRICTS THAT- WILL BE
AFFECTED BY. ALLOWING THIS BILL
TO GO THROUGH. SPECIAL DISTRICTS
. SURE DO YOU WANNA. YEAH I'M
YOU KNOW I'M NOT SURE ABOUT SOME
OF THE OTHER AGENCIES I DO YOU
KNOW WHEN THE- WHEN THEY WERE
DISSOLVED THE CITY DID NOT WANT
TO BE THE DESIGNATED LOCAL
AUTHORITIES SO THEY DID FORM-
BUT LET ME LET ME ANSWER THAT
QUESTION BECAUSE IT. IS HARD
THIS ISN'T IT IS MY DISTRICT AND
I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT TO
HAVE TO HAVE THAT KIND OF
QUESTIONS OF CHAIR BUT NO IT HAD
. AND I HATE TO BE IN THIS
POSITION RIGHT YOU KNOW WHAT WE
CAN OUR CA MEETING DONE BY NOON
AND SO ALL RIGHT THERE IS A
INTEREST IN DOING THIS OTHERWISE
WE COME BACK IT. AND EVERYBODY
COME BACK- WHAT HAPPENED IS IT
WAS DISSOLVED- THERE WAS AN
ISSUE ABOUT MONEY AND PROPERTY
THAT WAS OWNED- DID THAT SHOULD
HAVE COME BACK TO THE STATE- AND
WHETHER THEY HAD DONE THE RIGHT
THING IN TERMS OF BUYING
PROPERTY AND SO THE LONG AND
SHORT OF IT IS BECAUSE- THERE
WAS DISAGREEMENT. ON ON WHAT WAS
OWED TO THE STATE EVERYBODY BUYS
MADE WHOLE AND OTHER WORDS IT
WAS DISSOLVED THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S GOT THEIR MONEY AND
SPECIAL DISTRICTS GOT THEIR
MONEY. BUT THE DISAGREEMENT WAS
BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND THE CITY. AND WHAT
HAPPENED IS THAT. THEY LITIGATED
IT. ENDED TOOK A REALLY LONG
TIME THERE IS NEW LEADERSHIP IN
THE CITY. THEY'VE THEREOF
RESOLVE THE LITIGATION- MAKING
PAYMENTS TO D. O. F. BUT IN THE
PROCESS WHILE YOU'RE MAKING
PAYMENTS YOU'RE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR
ANY OF THAT. OPPORTUNITIES TO
DEVELOP LIKE THE AFT. BECAUSE
YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT COMPLIANT IT'S
A LEGAL TERMINOLOGY THAT WAS SET
UP WHEN THE ORIGINAL BILL WAS
DONE SO EVERYBODY'S WHOLE. THE
O. F. IS GETTING THEIR MONEY
BACK BUT BUT IN THE MEANTIME.
THERE WERE THERE THEY'VE SPENT.
A LOT OF RESOURCES FIXING UP THE
DOWNTOWN AND BRINGING IN SOME.
NEW BUSINESSES SOME AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- AND THIS WILL PROVIDE
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO KIND
OF PUT THAT IN THE BACK. IN THE
REAR VIEW MIRROR SO IN THE
INTEREST OF NOT MAKING MY CHAIR
UPSET AND TRYING TO GET A BY
NOON I WILL JUST LAY OFF THE
BILL BUT I WANT TO JUST MAKE
THIS POINT AND I THINK THAT
THIS. IS CRITICAL. I WANT TO RUN
A BUNCH OF BILLS TO HELP MY
COMMUNITIES GET BACK TO RTA
BECAUSE THERE IT WAS A VERY
EFFECTIVE TOOL BUT THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE SEEING IS WE'RE SEEING
THESE BILLS COME THROUGH WERE
ONE OFF- AND THERE'S- THIS IS
NOT ALLOWING THEM TO DO. RIGHT
AND SO- I WILL LAY OFF THE BILL
AND DO A LITTLE MORE HOMEWORK
BEFORE IT GETS FLOOR BUT I
APPRECIATE THAT OKAY. VERY GOOD
. IT THERE IS A MOTION- SING
OVER THERE. COMMENTS QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS LIKE TO BE. AS A CO
AUTHOR IT'S SIMPLE. I WILL ALLOW
YOU TO CONCLUDE PERFECT THANK
YOU- CHAIR ALSO FOR. I'M

DOWNTOWN OF THE CITY OF MERCED
AND JUST AS A WHOLE TO BE ABLE
TO REVITALIZED TO BUILD HOUSING.
