THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
COMMITTEE I APPRECIATE YOUR
TAKING UP MY BUILT THIS MORNING
AB FORTY THREE FIRST I'D LIKE TO
STATE I ACCEPT THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS AND I THINK THIS YEAR
AND HIS STAFF FOR WORKING WITH
MY OFFICE AND WITH THE SPONSORS
AB FORTY THREE IS A BILL THAT
WOULD AUTHORIZE THE CALIFORNIA
AIR RESOURCES BOARD TO ESTABLISH
AN EMBODIED CARBON TRADING
SYSTEM AS DEFINED AND WOULD MAKE
IT APPLICABLE TO BUILDING
MATERIALS. OPERA MATERIAL
PROVIDERS AND DEVELOPERS LAST
YEAR THIS COMMITTEE SUPPORTED MY
BILL AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY SIX
WHICH REQUIRES CARP TO DEVELOP A
FRAMEWORK FOR MEASURING AND
REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH NEW
BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. A SEGMENT
OF THAT BILL DEALT WITH CARBON
STATUS IN A CARBON TRADING
SYSTEM TO ALLOW THE INDUSTRY
TIME TO RAMP UP ITS EFFORTS TO
MEET OUR CLIMATE GOALS. HOWEVER
DUE TO INSUFFICIENT TIME I
AMENDED THAT PORTION OUT OF THE
BILL. EARLY CARVE HIS PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON AB FORTY
THREE TO ENSURE THAT IT ALIGNS
WITH THE TIME LINE AND GOALS OF
AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY SIX I WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE B. I.
A. ENGINEERS ARCHITECTS AND
CONTRACTORS. TO ADDRESS ANY
CONCERNS SHOULD THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD. THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW
THE STATE BOARD TO INTEGRATE THE
EMBODIED CARBON TRADING SYSTEM
INTO THE LOW CARBON BUILDING
STANDARD FRAMEWORK. ON OR BEFORE
DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY SIX AND TO IMPLEMENT THE
SYSTEM ON AND AFTER JANUARY
FIRST OF TWENTY TWENTY NINE. THE
BILL ALSO INCORPORATES REVISIONS
TO AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY SIX
INCLUDING REMOVING THE INTERIM
TARGET OF 20% BY TWENTY THIRTY
ENSURING. THERE IS PUBLIC INPUT
THROUGH A RULEMAKING PROCESS
PRIOR TO ADOPTING ANY
REGULATIONS. UPDATING SOME
DEFINITIONS AND OTHER PROVISIONS
TO GIVE MORE FLEXIBILITY TO THE
BOARD TO IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAM.
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
HIS MERRY SELECCI A PARTNER WITH
AJ W. INK. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. OTHER
UNIVERSITIES GOOD MORNING I
MERRY SELECCI WITH AJW I WORKED
WITH SAM RUBIN IT MIGHT BE
BUILDINGS AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER
HOLD ON ON THIS BILLS PRECURSOR
AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY SIX FROM
LAST YEAR. WE ARE NOW CO
SPONSORING AB FORTY THREE
BECAUSE WE WANT TO IMPROVE THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF AB TWENTY FOUR
FORTY SIX WHICH WAS PASSED INTO
LAW AND MAKE THE PROGRAM AS
ROBUST AS POSSIBLE. BIG PICTURE
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH
WITH LAST YEAR'S AB TWENTY FOUR
FORTY SIX AND A THIS BILL IS TO
CREATE A FIRST IN THE NATION
PROGRAM. WHERE THE EMBODIED
CARBON OF OUR BUILDINGS ITS
FIRST MEASURED AND THEN REDUCED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR CLIMATE
GOALS. FOR THOSE UNFAMILIAR
EMBODIED CARBON IS THE ENERGY
AND EMISSIONS IT REQUIRES TO
CREATE A BUILDING. THE
MANUFACTURING OF OUR
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS COMPRISES
40% OF THE BUILDINGS TOTAL
CARBON FOOTPRINT. THERE ARE NO
WAYS TO FIX THIS RETROACTIVELY
WE CAN ONLY HELP CREATE BETTER
BUILDINGS FROM THE START. AB
TWENTY FOUR FORTY SIX TASKS CARD
TO CREATE A PROGRAM THAT WILL
MEASURE AND REDUCE THE EMBODIED
EMISSIONS OF OUR BUILDINGS. BUT
IT DID LACK SOME KEY TOOLS THAT
CAR MIGHT NEED ALONG THE WAY.
THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THESE IS A
CREDIT TRADING SYSTEM. CREDIT
TRADING SYSTEM WILL ALLOW
ENTITIES TO HAVE MORE FLAT TO
HAVE MORE FLEXIBLE COMPLIANCE.
OTHER THAN MAKING DEVELOPMENT
PROJECT PERFECTLY MATCH THE
BENCHMARK THEY WILL BE ABLE TO
TRADE CREDITS WHERE THERE IS
OVER COMPLIANCE AND UNDER
COMPLIANCE. AND BY HAVING A
MEANS OF MONETIZING CREDITS
THERE WILL BE AN INCENTIVE TO
OVER COMPLY. WHICH IN THIS CASE
MEANS TO BUILD THE BEST POSSIBLE
BUILDING. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR A LOT OF
WORK IN CONVERSATION ON THIS
BILL OVER MANY MONTHS ACTUALLY
SO. OF WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE
AMENDMENTS THAT THE COMMITTEE
STAFF HAS PROPOSED HAVE PROPOSED
TODAY AND WE CONTINUE TO WORK
AND CONVERSATION AS THE BILL
AUTHOR HAS. ACKNOWLEDGED WITH HI
THE BUILDING INDUSTRY AND
CONTRACTORS AND ENGINEERS. TO
HAMMER OUT SOME OF THE DETAILS
LANGUAGE AROUND HAS SOME
ADDITIONAL CLAUSES WITHIN THE
BILL SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SUPPORT FREESHIP- LET'S
HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO
WIN IN SUPPORT. PROSECUTORS HERE
ON BEHALF OF STOP WASTE IN

MEMBERS OF THE LARGEST UNION
SIGNATORY BUILDING CONTRACTORS
IN THE STATE. THE CIVIC TO THE
AMENDMENT CERTAINLY WE
APPRECIATE DEFINING WHAT AN
ENTITY MEANS THAT LIABILITY IS A
TREMENDOUS ISSUE IN THIS BILL
KIND OF HARKENS BACK TO THE
DEFECT FIGHTS OF ALL OF WHICH I
THINK PREDATES ALL OF YOU. AND
THE ISSUE IS WILL THE DEVELOPER
PUT IN THE CONTRACT THE
CONTRACTOR IF THEY ARE LIABLE
FOR PENALTIES FROM THE STATE
WELL THEY AUTOMATICALLY BY
CONTRACT IMPOSED THOSE PENALTIES
ON THE CONTRACTOR. OR REQUIRE
THE CONTRACTOR TO DEFEND THEM IN
COURT ACTION THIS IS A
REGULATORY MATTER NOT A CIVIL
ACTION WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THE
LANGUAGE SHOULD BE CLEAR. THE
DEVELOPER IS THE ONE WHO'S
LIABLE FOR THE PENALTIES IF
AFTER THE FACT ELECTED SEWER
CONTRACTOR FOR BREACH. HAVE AT
IT BUT YOU CAN'T PUT IN YOUR
CONTRACT WITH US THE WERE
AUTOMATICALLY REQUIRED TO DEFEND
YOU. I DIDN'T WORKING DEFECT IN
THE DEFECTS STATUTES IT WON'T
WORK HERE SO AGAIN WHAT WE'RE
ASKING FOR IS A CLEAR LANGUAGE
SAYING. THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE AND
THEN THEY CAN AFTER THE FACT.
COME AFTER US FOR BREACH IF THEY
ALLEGE THAT WE PUT IN THE WRONG
PRODUCTS WITH THAT CHANGE WOULD
GO NEUTRAL ON THE BILL THANK YOU
. MISTER MEMBERS THE COMMITTEE

SPOKE TO COULD YOU CAN YOU GIVE
US YOUR SENSE OF THE OF THE
CURRENT STATE A CONVERSATION
WITH THE WITH CBA AND SO I'M
SURE I THINK THAT IT AND I SAID
MY OPENING STATEMENT WAS
DESIGNED TO LAY THE PREDICATE
THAT WE ARE. RECOGNIZING THIS IS
A BIG PIECE OF WHAT WAS A PART
OF THE BILL LAST YEAR AND BY
TAKING IT OUT TO GIVE US MORE
MORE OPPORTUNITY TO FOCUS ON
SOME OF THE IMPLEMENTATION.
ELEMENTS MOVING FORWARD WE'RE
CONTINUING TO MOVE TO WORK WITH
EACH OF THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES
OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS
ARCHITECTS CONTRACTORS TO
ADDRESS THERE'S PARTICULAR
ISSUES. WE WILL. COME TO A-
CONCLUSION ON THAT AND I HOPE
THAT WILL HAVE RESOLUTION I
BELIEVE THAT WE CAN. AND THAT
THOSE AMENDMENTS WE WOULD TAKE-
IN APPROPRIATIONS OR SERVICE THE
SUMMER TO SIT DOWN WITH EVERYONE
AND TRY TO WORK THROUGH THE
REMAINING. OUR CONCERNS HAVE
BEEN EXPRESSED BUT- THANKS
HOLDEN HAS GOT SOME AMENDMENT
THAT WERE PUTTING AN TODAY WITH
WITH THE BILL LANGUAGE THAT AT
LEAST START DOWN THIS PATH TO
SHOW INTENT TO TRY TO RESOLVE
THIS ISSUE WE HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT
IT'S NOT. A 100% THERE YET SO AS
MR HOLDEN SAID WE LOOK FORWARD
TO CONTINUING THE CONVERSATION
WITH THE CONTRACTORS AND
CONSTRUCTION FOLKS. OKAY ALL
RIGHT WE WILL- IF YOU ARE TO

QUORUM ASPECT LESSER AYE VOTE
THANK YOU. OKAY THE YOU SO MUCH
LET'S YOU GO ON- TO ITEM TO THIS
IS AB TWO FORTY NINE. THE
UNIVERSITY WHEN READY OKAY THANK
YOU SO. THIS IS YOUR THANK YOU
REMEMBER. OF THE COMMITTEE FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENT TODAY
ASSEMBLY BILL TWO FOUR NINE. LET
IS A DANGEROUS TOXIN THERE IS NO
SAFE AMOUNT OF LEAD IN A CHILD'S
DRINKING WATER. EVEN LOW LEVELS
OF EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE LEARNING
AND BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS FOR
CHILDREN AND DAMAGE ORGANS AND
NERVOUS SYSTEM. ACCORDING THE US
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
AS MUCH AS 20% OF LEAD A SHALL
TAKE SAN COMES FROM DRINKING
WATER. IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
AND AUTHORED A BILL ASSEMBLY
BILL TWENTY THREE SEVENTY THAT
TASK THE DEPARTMENT SOCIAL
SERVICES AND CONSULT
CONSULTATION WITH THE STATE
WATER BOARD. WITH DEVELOPING
REGULATIONS FOR THE REGULAR
TESTING OF LEAD IN THE DRINKING
WATER OF CHILD DAY CARE CENTERS.
THROUGH THOSE REGULATIONS. THE
LEAD TESTING STANDARD FOR CHILD
CARE CENTERS IS SET AT A FIVE
PARTS PER BILLION. AB TWO FOUR
NINE BILLS ON THAT IMPORTANT
WORK BY REQUIRING SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITY WATER SYSTEMS TO
COLLABORATE ON COMPREHENSIVE
SAMPLING PANT PLANS. TO TEST FOR
LEAD IN DRINKING WATER AND FOOD
PREPARATION OUTLETS USING A FIVE
PARTS. PER BILLION THRESHOLD THE
STANDARD USED IN MANY OTHER
STATES. STATES INCLUDING
MARYLAND MONTANA AND WASHINGTON.
FAUCETS AND OUTLETS THAT TEST
HIGHER THAN THE LEAD THRESHOLD
REQUIRED TO SHUT DOWN. AND
EITHER REPLACE OR PROPERLY
FILTERED. BECAUSE TRANSPARENCY
IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS
PROCESS SCHOOLS MUST NOTIFY
PARENTS OF OUTLETS AT THEIR
CHILD'S SCHOOL TESTS ABOVE THE
LEAD THRESHOLD AND THE STATE
WATER BOARD IS REQUIRED TO MAKE
ALL THAT TESTING RESULTS
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BY POSTING
THEM. ON ITS WEBSITE. FROM THE
LEAD IN WATER DATA CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE THROUGH THE LIMITED
TESTING CONDUCTED TO COMPLY WITH
AB SEVEN FORTY SIX. WE KNOW THAT
NEARLY ONE IN FIVE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOLS HAVE WATER OUTLETS THAT
ARE AT THE MANY LEAD AMOUNTS
HIGHER THAN FIVE PARTS PER
BILLION. UNFORTUNATELY THAT THAT
TESTING ROUNDED ONLY REQUIRED.
TESTING OF ONE TO FIVE WATER
OUTLETS AT EACH SCHOOL. WHAT'S
WORSE SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE
ABLE TO KEEP THEIR LEAD TO LEAD
LEACHING FAUCETS OPERATIONAL BY
FLUSHING. A TECHNIQUE WHEREBY A
FAUCET IS LEFT TO RUN FOR THIRTY
SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTED-
RETESTED. A TWENTY TWENTY STUDY
BY THE CENTER FOR DISEASE
CONTROL ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
A. B. SEVEN FORTY SIX ESTIMATED
THAT ACTION LEVEL OF FIVE PARTS
PER BILLION. WOULD HAVE RESULTED
IN A NINE FOLD INCREASE IN THE
AMOUNT OF SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO
REMEDIATE THEIR DRINKING WATER.
FROM THAT DATA WE HAVE FROM THAT
DAY WE HAVE WE KNOW THERE ARE
MANY FAUCETS LEACHING LEAD AT
SCHOOLS OUR CHILDREN ARE
ATTENDING IN MANY OF THESE
SCHOOLS ARE CONSTRUCTED TRADED
IN LOW INCOME AREAS.
PREDOMINANTLY ATTENDED BY SCHOOL
STUDENTS OF COLOR. TESTING DATA
FROM CHILD CARE CENTERS RELEASED
EARLIER THIS YEAR SHOW THAT OVER
ONE IN FOUR EXCEEDED THE FIVE
PARTS PER BILLION ACTION LEVEL
EVER REQUIRED TO REMEDIATE THOSE
WATER OUTLETS. OUTCOMES LIKE
THIS SHOW JUST HOW IMPORTANT
LEAD TESTING POLICIES ARE.
TESTING TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF
AB TWO FORTY NINE IS DOCTOR
PATEL PROFESSOR OF PEDIATRICS AT
STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN NORTHLAND
WITH CHILDREN NOW. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR FORM.
THANK YOU FOR. GOOD MORNING MR
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS MY NAME IS
NORTHLAND AND I'M WITH CHILDREN
NOW. A STATEWIDE POLICY RESEARCH
AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION. WE
ARE PROUD TO CO SPONSOR AB TWO
FOUR NINE ALONG WITH
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP.
THIS BILL IMPLEMENTS A
COMPREHENSIVE WATER TESTING AND
LEAD REMEDIATION APPROACH FOR
THE STATE'S TITLE ONE SCHOOLS
BUILDING ON AB TWENTY THREE
SEVENTY BY MR HOLDEN. AND AB
SEVEN FOUR SIX BY MS GONZALEZ.
IN ADDITION TO BEING A
CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUES LEAD
EXPOSURE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ISSUE. A USEPA ANALYSIS
FOUND THAT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
AND LOW INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS ARE
AT DISPROPORTIONATE RISK FOR
LEAD EXPOSURE IN DRINKING WATER
. LEAD POISONING SCREENING RATES
FOR CHILDREN IN MEDIC HOW ARE
LOW. 61% OF KIDS WITH MEDIC CAL
WERE SCREENED FOR LED BY THEIR
SECOND BIRTHDAY. WITH ONLY 45%
OF BLACK KIDS BEING SCREENED
THIS MEANS TOO MANY KIDS MAY BE
FALLING THROUGH STE PREVENTION
SAFETY. NETS MANY OF CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS OF COLOR ALSO IN
DISPROPORTIONATELY OLDER MORE
FINANCIALLY IN SECURE SCHOOLS.
EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
ARE ALSO AT RISK LEAD EXPOSURE
ON ADULTS IS LINKED WITH AN
INCREASE IN MORTALITY OF 37% FOR
ALL CAUSES. 70% FOR
CARDIOVASCULAR AND A HUNDRED AND
EIGHT FOR HEART DISEASE. WE KNOW
THAT ONE SIZE FITS ALL DOESN'T
WORK FOR OUR SCHOOLS. THE
FLEXIBLE REMEDIATION APPROACH
ALLOWS FOR BOTH FAUCET
REPLACEMENT AND OR FILTER
INSTALLATION BASED ON THE
SCHOOLS NEEDS AND CAPACITY. DATA
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES FROM AB TWENTY THREE
SEVENTY INDICATES THAT IN 95% OF
CASES REPLACING THE FAUCET
ITSELF REMEDIATE SLED EXIGENCES
TO BELOW FIVE PARTS PER BILLION.
THIS MEANS THE BILL IS NOT
REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO RIP UP
THEIR WALLS TO FIX LET ISSUES.
THE PROBLEMS CAN EITHER BE FIXED
AT THE FAUCET OR WITH A FILTER.
WE HAVE BEEN AND ARE CONTINUING
TO MEET WITH STATE AND FEDERAL
EPA EDUCATION ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE AND CHILDREN'S HEALTH
STAKEHOLDERS. THIS BILL
LEVERAGES FEDERAL FUNDING FROM
THE BIPARTISAN INFRASTRUCTURE
LAW TO ENSURE THE FINANCIAL
BURDEN DOES NOT FALL ON SCHOOL
THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
THANK YOU THANK YOU YEP. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS ANISHA PATEL
I'M A PROFESSOR AND PEDIATRICIAN
AT STANFORD I HAVE OVER FIFTEEN
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE CONDUCTING
RESEARCH ON DRINKING WATER IN
SCHOOLS. SCIENTISTS AGREE THAT
THERE IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF LEAD
THAT CHILDREN CAN CONSUME. EVEN
LOW LEVELS OF LEAD CAN CAUSE
LIFELONG BEHAVIOR DEVELOPMENT
AND LEARNING PROBLEMS THE
INCREASE HEALTHCARE AND SOCIETAL
COST. LET IS MOST TALKED SIXTY
CHILDREN BECAUSE THEIR BODIES
AND BRAINS ARE DEVELOPING
RAPIDLY. WHEN CHILDREN DRINK
WATER THAT CONTAINS LEAD ABOUT
HALF OF THAT LEAD IS ABSORBED
20% OF LEAD EXPOSURE COMES FROM
DRINKING WATER. PREVENTION IS
KEY AND REDUCING LEAD EXPOSURE
SCHOOLS ARE CRITICAL FOR
PREVENTION SINCE CHILDREN SPEND
SUBSTANTIAL TIME THERE. BASED ON
OUR OWN STUDIES OF CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL DRINKING WATER 16218% OF
SCHOOLS HAD AT LEAST ONE TAP
THAT EXCEEDED THE FIVE PARTS PER
BILLION STANDARD. AND 527% OF
ALL TESTED TAPS WERE HIGH. WE
KNOW THAT CONCERNS ABOUT WATER
SAFETY ALSO PREVENT MANY
CHILDREN FROM DRINKING ANY WATER
AT SCHOOL. INSTEAD THEY ARE
LIKELY TO CONSUME SODAS AND
SUGARY BEVERAGES. THIS CAN LEAD
TO ADDITIONAL HEALTH CUT
PROBLEMS SUCH AS DIABETES HEART
DISEASE AND DENTAL CARIES. IN
SUMMARY I ASK YOU TO PLEASE PASS
THIS BILL WHICH WILL HELP ENSURE
THAT CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO
SAFE DRINKING WATER AT SCHOOL.
PROVIDES A SIMPLE COST EFFECTIVE
INVESTMENT TO PROTECT
CALIFORNIA'S MOST AT RISK
CHILDREN. IT'S A REMOTE THEIR
HEALTH AND LEARNING THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. OUR ANYONE ELSE WANTS
TO IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL. MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE RANDY POLLOCK IN
BEHALF OF THE WATER QUALITY
ASSOCIATION. AND IF THIS BILL
PASSES COMMITTEE WOULD JUST LIKE
TO SUGGEST AMENDMENTS THAT ALL
THESE PRODUCTS BE CERTIFIED BY A
THIRD PARTY AND THAT THE
STANDARDS WOULD NEED TO NSF ANSI
STANDARDS. BUT THAT WE SUPPORT
THIS BILL THANK YOU. REBECCA
MARKETS REPRESENTING HELP HER
AGAIN SUPPORT THANK YOU. SUSAN

CATHY MANZINI ON BEHALF THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION. LARA D. HEN
ENVIRONMENT CALIFORNIA IN
SUPPORT. IT REMAINED DOES ON
BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY WATER
CENTER IN SUPPORT. OKAY FOLKS
WHO WANT TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT
THE BILL. OR OPPOSITION. A GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS DANNY OF LAST
HIDING WITH CALIFORNIA MUNICIPAL
UTILITIES ASSOCIATION WHERE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED TO AB TWO
FORTY NINE OUR MEMBERS HIGHEST
PRIORITY IS DELIVERING A SAFE
AND RELIABLE WATER SUPPLY TO
THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR DECADES OUR
MEMBERS HAVE WORKS TO REMOVE
LEAD PIPES FROM THEIR SYSTEMS
AND TAKE OTHER ACTIONS TO
PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH- I WANT TO
BE CLEAR WE AGREE WITH THE
AUTHOR'S INTENT TO ENSURE THAT
CHILDREN ARE PROTECTED FROM
EXPOSURE TO LEAD IN DRINKING
WATER AND ACT. AND APPRECIATE
ALL THE WORK THAT HE AND HIS
STAFF OF DONE TO ADDRESS OUR
CONCERNS AND WE ARE NOT
FUNDAMENTALLY CONCERNED WITH THE
CONCEPT IN AB TWO FORTY NINE
MEANING TESTING SCHOOLS FOR LEAD
IN DRINKING WATER SOURCES- AB
SEVEN FORTY SIX HAS BEEN TALKED
ABOUT A LITTLE BIT BETWEEN.
TWENTY SEVENTEEN TO TWENTY
NINETEEN WATER SYSTEMS COMPLETED
A LARGE SCALE SCHOOL TESTING
PROGRAM AND WITH BASED ON AB
SEVEN FORTY SIX AM PERMIT
AMENDMENTS ISSUED TO EACH WATER
SYSTEM THE TESTING MEASURE TO
SAMPLE ABOUT LET'S DOWN TO FIVE
PARTS PER BILLION THE ACTION
LEVEL NOW INCLUDED IN AB TWO
FORTY NINE. SO THIS STATE WATER
SYSTEMS HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF
INFORMATION ABOUT WHICH SCHOOLS
ARE IN MOST NEED OF LETTER
MEDIATION. BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL SOON
REQUIRED LEAD TESTING IN SCHOOLS
IN THE LEAD AND COPPER RULE
REVISIONS IN THE LEAD AND COPPER
RULE IMPROVEMENTS. ALREADY IN A
HEALTHIER ARE THERE ROBUST
TESTING REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL
WATER SYSTEMS WILL ACHIEVE THE
SAME OUTCOMES IS AB TWO FORTY
NINE. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT
SHOULD THIS BILL PASS THERE WILL
BE TWO DIFFERENT TESTING REGIMES
THAT MUST BE COMPLIED WITH. AT
THE SAME TIME WITHOUT ANY
ADDITIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH
PROTECTION IT IS UNCLEAR HOW
WATER SYSTEMS OF RECONCILE THE
DIFFERENCES. WE APPRECIATE THE
LEGISLATURE ALLOCATING FUNDS FOR
THE PROVISION IN THE BILL BUT
THE AMOUNT WILL FALL FAR SHORT.
OF THE COSTS WILL BE INCURRED BY
WATER SYSTEMS IN SCHOOLS. TO
BETTER UTILIZE UNLIMITED FUNDS
WE BELIEVE THAT THE BILL SHOULD
FOCUS ON THE EXISTING TEST
RESULTS OR MAYBE TO SEVEN FORTY
SIX. TO START REPLACING FAUCETS
AND OTHER OUTLETS AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE WE SHARE THE AUTHORS
GOAL PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM
LEAD EXPOSURE. BUT AB TWO FORTY
NINE IS THE WRONG OF PRESS WE
RISK. URGE YOU KNOW OF A- THANK
YOU. THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING
CINDY TUCK WITH THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES. WE
AGREE THAT TESTING FOR LEAD IN
DRINKING WATER SCHOOLS IS VERY
IMPORTANT. THAT WE DO HAVE AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
ON THIS BILL. AND EXPLAIN WHY-
WE DID WORK ON BACK IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN ON A BEACH- SEVEN
FORTY SIX THAT WAS. THE BILL
THAT REQUIRE TESTING IN SCHOOLS.
AS WAS REFERENCE THAT DATA IS
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE NOW. AND ON
COULD BE USED FOR FURTHER WORK.
BUT OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE BY
NEW MINISTRATION AS WE SPEAK IS
WORKING ON. THE ON MAKING THE
FEDERAL RULE MORE STRINGENT SO
THE NEW RULE WILL BE CALLED THE
LEAD AND COPPER RULE
IMPROVEMENTS. THAT WILL BE
FINALIZED IN OCTOBER OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. AND THE WAY TOO AB
TWO FORTY NINE IS PROPOSED THIS
BILL AND THE FEDERAL NEW RULE
WOULD HAVE OVERLAPPING
COMPLIANCE SCHEDULES SO. OUR
MEMBERS COULD BE WORKING ON
TESTING FOR TWO PROGRAMS AT THE
SAME TIME WE DON'T THINK THAT
MAKES SENSE- AWKWARD HAS OFFERED
AMENDMENTS AND WHAT WE WOULD
SUGGEST IS TAKE THE EXISTING
BUILD TAKE WITHIN THEIR OUT AND
PUT IN A REQUIREMENT THAT WHEN
THE FEDERAL RULE THIS FINAL IN
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. THAT THE
STATE WATER BOARD REVIEW THAT
RULE AND REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE VERY QUICKLY SO
WOULD BE- YOU KNOW WITH WITHIN
THREE MONTHS. AND SAY TO THE
LEGISLATURE EITHER THE FEDERAL
RULE IS GOOD OR HERE'S WHAT WE
WOULD ADD TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM
WORK AS ONE PROGRAM FOR IN
CALIFORNIA. SO THOSE ARE
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS BUT WITH
THE BILL IN THE CURRENT FORM WE
URGE A NO VOTE THANK YOU. OTHER
FOLKS WHO WANNA WASTE RAISE
CONCERNS. GOOD MORNING MR
CHAMBERS DOROTHY JOHNSON OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS WE DO HAVE OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
SUMMARIZE THOSE AMENDMENT
REQUEST BY AGAIN SECURING
ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO TEST ALL
OF THE SCHOOLS THAT FALL UNDER
THE CURRENT ON PREMISE FOR TITLE
ONE OR NARROW THE SCOPE. AND
THEN ALSO PROVIDE GUIDANCE
SHOULD UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW IF
THE TESTS COME BACK ON AND STILL
EXCEED FIVE PARTS PER BILLION
AFTER REPLACING FAUCETS AND-
INSTALLING FILTERS OTHER
MEDIATION METHODS IF THOSE DON'T
WORK WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO
NEXT AND AGAIN HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO DO SO THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS NVIDIA WITH
COALITION FOR ADEQUATE SCHOOL

NO MORE QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT
LET'S BRING IT ITEM BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS AND
THOUGHTS AND SENTIMENTS ARE NO
GOOD BY STATE THANKS ARE GONE GO
. TO BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS TRUMP.
MY QUESTION WAS- CHAIRMAN BRING
UP THE- I BELIEVE WAS THE- YES.
SORRY I'M SORRY MANY GET YOUR
NAME QUESTION FOR YOU YOU
MENTIONED SHOULD THIS BILL PASS
SCHOOLS POTENTIALLY WOULD HAVE
TO TEST TWICE WELL YOU KNOW
WE'RE SEEING THAT THE L. THREE
ARE CURRENTLY AUTHORIZES STATES
TO ISSUE WAIVERS IF THAT'S STATE
IS ALREADY REQUIRING TESTING.
IT'S SAFE TO SEEM IT'S ON THE
PERHAPS THOUGH ISSUE THOSE
WAIVERS CONTENT WITH THE
CONDITION THOSE WAIVERS CAN YOU
JUST RESPOND TO THEM. WE
UNDERSTAND AND I'VE SEEN YOU I
CAN SPEAK TO THIS I BELIEVE THEY
OFFERED A SUGGESTED AMENDMENT
THAT IF THERE IS A WAIVER THEN
THE BILL WOULD GO INTO EFFECT
BUT IF CALIFORNIA ISN'T GRANTED
A WAIVER IT WOULD GO INTO EFFECT
AND I BELIEVE THOSE AMENDMENTS
WERE NOT ACCEPTED AT LEAST BY
THE SPONSORS MAYBE THE AUTHOR.
SO THAT RAISES THE QUESTION I
THINK THERE'S NO CERTAINTY ON
THE WAIVER AS FAR AS WE'RE AWARE
. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE ISSUE
OKAY. YOUR AVAILABLE MORE
BACKGROUND MAYBE I MISSED THAT
PART MAYBE ASSEMBLY MEMBER- YOU
KNOW IF YOU WHAT I'M ASKING-
YOUR SPONSOR MONSTER US SUSAN.
THANK YOU IF I CAN CLARIFY THE
PROCESS ON SUSAN LITTLE WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP AND
IF I COULD. RESPOND YOUR
QUESTION. ASSEMBLY MEMBER I'M
SORRY SENATOR- THE L. C. A. R.
R. WELL THE L. C. R. I. THAT THE
BY THE LEADING COPPER RULE
IMPROVEMENTS OF MY
ADMINISTRATION. IS PLANNING TO
ROLLOUT WILL BE PROPOSED FINAL
RULES NOT YET FINAL. IN OCTOBER
OF TWENTY TWENTY FOUR SO THERE
WILL STILL BE A PUBLIC COMMENT
PERIOD AFTER THAT. BEFORE THEY
ARE FINALIZED AND USUALLY THOSE
PUBLIC COMMENT PERIODS OR SIX
MONTHS TO A YEAR LONG. ONCE THAT
THEN THAT FINAL RULE GOES INTO
EFFECT IN. TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
SOMETIME. THE- OR THE END OF
TWENTY. END OF TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE BEGINNING TWENTY TWENTY
SIX. THEN AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE
WATER BOARD WILL ACTUALLY HAVE
TO ISSUE REGULATIONS. TO IN
INFORMAL WATER UTILITIES HOW TO
IMPLEMENT THE L. C. R. I.
INCLUDING THE SCHOOL TESTING
PROVISION. AT WHICH POINT THE
WATER BOARD IS ALLOWED TO ISSUE
WAIVERS. TWO WATER SYSTEMS. WHO
IN IN SITUATIONS WHERE- WATER
TESTING IS ALREADY HAPPENED AT
SCHOOLS AND THAT'S- SO THAT'S IT
BUT THAT IT WOULD BE IN PLAY AND
THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT TO WATER
BOARD REGULATION PROCESS. IT'S
NOT SOMETHING THAT- YOU KNOW WE
WOULDN'T BE SUBMITTING A WAIVER
REPORT AND MY UNDERSTANDING AT
LEAST THE WAY THERE THE RULE IS
THE LEADING COPPER RULE
REVISIONS ARE CURRENTLY WRITTEN.
IT STATES EXPLICITLY THE STATES
ARE ALLOWED TO ISSUE WAIVERS
THROUGH THE RULE MAKING PROCESS
THAT WOULD BE US TO DO IT
CALIFORNIA. GREAT THANK YOU. I'D
LIKE TO CLARIFY ONE POINT IF
POSSIBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OUR UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE
NEW FEDERAL RULE WILL BE A FINAL
RULE BY OCTOBER OF TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR. A FINAL RULE OCTOBER
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. AND I
BELIEVE THAT'S REFLECTED IN THE
ANALYSIS OKAY ALL RIGHT THANK
YOU SENATE DOLLY. THANK YOU GOOD
TO SEE YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER- SO
JUST A COUPLE OF. OBSERVATIONS
ONE- I DON'T KNOW. AND SUB TO.
SO THERE WAS A BILL A COUPLE
YEARS EARLIER TO AUTHORIZED FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS TO ALLOW SCHOOLS
TO PUT IN- WATER DISPENSERS THAT
TO REFILL THEIR- WATER BOTTLES
AND- THIS YEAR WE TALKED ABOUT
THAT AND IT WASN'T ACTUALLY USED
TO DO SO THAT SO THEY WE TOOK
THE MONEY OUT OF THE BUDGET. FOR
THIS YEAR- BECAUSE SCHOOLS
DIDN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS SO- AS AS I
KNOW THAT YOUR FOCUS ON ON
TRYING TO GET THE LEAD OUT IS
BECAUSE OF VERY DISADVANTAGED
MUSE WHICH I HAVE. ALL
THROUGHOUT MY DISTRICT VERY
SMALL RULE- VERY OLD- STRUCTURES
AND TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER
THAT'S COMING FROM AND GET IT
OUT SO- ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS
THAT- YOU KNOW THE PROCESS IS
REALLY WHAT WE'RE AFTER HERE IS
TRY TO GET IT. TO HER TRY TO GET
THE LEAD OUT NUMBER ONE IS THE
WATER- PROVIDER- RESPONSIBLE
ORDERS TO SCHOOL RESPONSIBLE FOR
WHERE THE LEAD COMES FROM
BECAUSE IT SOMETIMES CAN COME
NOT JUST FROM THE FAUCET THE
SCHOOL BUT FROM. MAYBE THE WATER
PROVIDER SO COULD YOU KIND OF
TALK ABOUT HOW THAT LOOKS. WELL
I THINK THE- CERTAINLY THE GOAL
IS TO TEST. AND MAKE SURE THAT
IN TESTING WE'RE GETTING A CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING OF WHETHER OR NOT
THERE IS LEAD LEACHING INTO THE
DRINKING WATER THAT THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED TO OR IN
PREPARATION OF FOOD AND THINGS
OF THAT NATURE AND SO. THE
TESTING. ELEMENT IS WHERE WE GET
A CLEAR IDEA OF HOW TO
STRATEGICALLY NOW. DIRECT
RESOURCES- ON ASSEMBLY BILL
SEVEN FOUR SIX THE THRESHOLD WAS
AT FIFTEEN PARTS PER BILLION.
AND SO THAT'S A HIGHER THRESHOLD
AND NOT TESTING EVERY PARTICULAR
OUTLET. WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS BE
A LITTLE BIT MORE ROBUST AND ARE
IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM BY
LOWERING THE STANDARD- TO FIVE
PARTS PER BILLION. AND THEN
BEING ABLE TO- WATER DISTRICTS
TEST- OFF FACILITIES ALL OUR
WATER OUTLOOKS. FAUCETS DRINKING
FOUNTAINS. AND IF IT SHOWS THAT
IT EXCEEDS THE FIVE PARTS PER
BILLION. THEN THOSE WATER FUNDS
HAVE TO BE SHUT DOWN. WE'RE
TRYING TO PROVIDE CONCURRENTLY
WITH THAT RESOURCES NOW I CAN'T
SPEAK TO WHY- THE MONIES WERE
DRAWN DOWN PREVIOUSLY- TO. TO
MAKE AVAILABLE BECAUSE ONCE YOU
FIND THAT- THERE'S LEAD LEACHING
ABOVE THE STANDARD. THAT YOU
SHUT DOWN THE FIRST THE FONG.
AND THEN YOU PROVIDE. ALL
POSSIBLE DRINKING WATER FOR THE
STUDENTS UNTIL- THE EQUIPMENT IS
REPLACED. THAT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING I CAN TURN TO MY-
MOST OF MY- WITNESSES TO
ELABORATE ON IT HI AND AS IT
RELATES TO FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
IN THE BUDGET OR WHAT I WAS NOT
DRUNK SO I MAKES NO SENSE SO THE
HARD PART IS WHEN YOU. WHEN YOU
GO OUT TO YOUR YOU KNOW.
DISTRICTS AND YOU TALK TO THEM
ABOUT. THE ISSUES THAT THEY'RE
FACED WITH REGULATORY SIDE IS
ACTUALLY TRYING TO GET IT DONE.
AND ACTUALLY FIXING THE ISSUE
THAT WE HAVE AND THAT'S SO WITH
THE FEDERAL RIGS COMING OUT AND
THE STATE THIS BILL- DC WORK
BETWEEN NOW AND THEN TO. BRING
THAT GOT TOGETHER SO THAT IT
THERE IS ONE UNIFIED. VOICE SO
THAT THE DISTRICTS ACTUALLY NO
ONE OF THAT ONE OF THE THINGS I
RE I WAS I SUPPORTED THE- THAT I
THINK WAS EGGMAN BILL THAT
AUTHORIZED A FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS AND BECAUSE I WAS
EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE
ABILITY TO YOU KNOW REFILL OUR
WATER BOTTLES AND HAVE PURIFIED
WATER- BUT WHEN YOU TALK TO THE
DISTRICTS. THEMSELVES THEY DON'T
HAVE A GRANT WRITER THEY DON'T
HAVE A PART THEY DON'T HAVE
PEOPLE TO DO. THE WORK THIS MAN
THAT THAT'S AVAILABLE TO THE
GRANTS IN THIS CASE IT WILL BE
MANDATED THAT THEY HAVE AFTER
THE TESTING THEY HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO
GET A GRASP OF HOW THE ACTUALLY.
ADMINISTRATORS IN THE AND THE
PEOPLE WHO RUN OUR SCHOOLS. YOU
KNOW WE GET THESE PROJECTS DONE
AND ACTUALLY MEET THE GOALS THAT
WE HAVE AND- THE ABILITY BE ABLE
TO AFFORD TO DO IT. AT THE SAME
TIME. WHEN ASKED FOR MY SPONSORS
IF THEY'D LIKE TO WEIGH IN ON IT
I. YOU KNOW WE'RE WE'RE BE VERY
CLEAR ABOUT THE WATER REGION
GOING IN AND DOING TESTING.
WE'RE PUTTING MONEY. OR OUR BEST
TO MAKE. AVAILABLE THERE ALSO IS
A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU
DON'T HAVE I MEAN I'M JUST GONNA
SPEAK TO THE GRANT WRITER. PART
OF WHICH IS CERTAIN IF I'M AN
ADMINISTRATOR AND NOW I'VE BEEN
TOLD THAT I HAVE. LEGISLATION
INTO MY WATER WHERE MY KIDS ARE
DRINKING THE BOOZE GOES ABOVE A
SAFETY STANDARD- AND THERE'S
MONEY AVAILABLE I'M GOING TO TRY
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT. I'M
GONNA TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
BRING ON STAFF HOWEVER I NEED TO
BRING ON. EVEN IF IT'S A
TEMPORARY JUST TO HELP PUT
TOGETHER WHATEVER WE NEED TO PUT
TOGETHER. TO GET ACCESS TO THE
RESOURCE SO I CAN GET. THAT LED
OUT OF MY DRINKING WATER SO MY
KIDS ARE SAFE. THAT'S HOW I
WOULD LOOK AT IT IF I WAS
ADMINISTRATOR WOULD MAKE EXCUSES
I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY TO WRITE. A
PROPOSAL I WOULD FIGURE IT OUT.
BUT YEAH LET ME JUMP IN JUST
ESTABLISH A CHORUS I KNOW THAT
ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HAS TO COME A
BIT SO- TICKET PLEASE. CALL THE
ROLL. SAN ALAN. I HEAR SHARE.
ALLEN HERE DAILY TO MATT DELHI
HERE CONSULT. GONZALEZ HERE HER
TADO. MENJIVAR MENJIVAR HERE
WHEN. SKINNER OKAY ARE WE HAVE
GREAT. MAYBE I WOULD JUST HAVE
SECOND WHAT THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WAS SAYING THAT IT CERTAINLY THE
SCHOOL'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY'RE PROVIDING
SAFE. WATER FOR CHILDREN AND-
AND IF THEY FIND OUT BECAUSE
THEY HAVE THEIR IS TESTING
REQUIRED. AND THEY HAVE TO MEET
THIS LEVEL. THAT THAT IS A
REQUIREMENT THAT THEY HAVE TO
COMPLY COMPLY WITH AND THEN OF
COURSE WOULD WANT WE EXPECT THEM
DIDN'T SEEK OUT THOSE FUNDS TO
DO SO WHEN. WE HAVE FOUND THAT
WHEN FUNDING IS JUST SITTING
THERE AND THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT
THAT. THE SYSTEMS DO ANY ORDERS
FOLKS DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THE
PROBLEM THAT THE FUNDING
OFTENTIMES DOESN'T TAKE ISN'T.
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF S. YOU FOUND
IN THAT CASE SO. IT IN THAT TO
ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION ABOUT
THE FEDERAL AND STATE LAW COMING
TOGETHER AT. SOME POINT THAT'S
GONNA WORK ON THAT AND PRO
RATIONS IS THAT WHAT I HEARD YOU
SAY. WELL I THINK. WELL IN TERMS
OF A COMING TOGETHER THINK THE
ANALYSIS DOES OF THE STAFF
ANALYSIS SORT OF LAYS OUT. THE
TIME FRAMES AND THAT THIS ACTION
PUTS US IN A POSITION TO MOVE
MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY TO
ADDRESSING. THE ISSUE BEFORE US
YOU TALK ABOUT BUREAUCRACY YOU
KNOW IF WE'RE WAITING ON THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO. PUT
SOMETHING IN PLACE AND THEN
THERE'S STILL AN EXTENDED
PROCESS ONCE IT GETS HERE FOR US
TO THEN PUT THROUGH. WHEN THIS
BILL COULD BE MOVING FORWARD AND
THEN PUTTING. IN MOTION. A
SOLUTION THAT WILL WORK RIGHT
NOW I THINK THAT'S- THE PATH-
THAT- IS PREFERRED. DOES THAT
MEAN WE STOPPED HAVING
CONVERSATIONS NO IT DOES NOT.
YEAH I MEAN I THINK THAT A
PROVISIONS COMES IS IMPORTANT
AND IT'S A IT'S IMPORTANT FELT
VERY EXPENSIVE POTENTIALLY AND-
AND THE QUESTION IS. YOU KNOW
WITH THE CALL THE COST BENEFITS-
BUT I'M CERTAINLY HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL AND ONCE YOU
HAVE THAT DISCUSSION CONTINUES
TO GO- SO- WITH THAT IT WENT
INTO MOTION. MOVED BY CENTER AND
SALAS AND LET'S CLOSE. THANK YOU
AS CHAIR- YOU KNOW IT THE
NORMALLY IT'S EASY TO JUST SAY.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK HER AYE VOTE.
OF BUT- I MUST SAY. THAT WE
CAN'T PUT. TOO MUCH ELSE IN
FRONT OF THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
PROTECTING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. ARE
KIDS IN A LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
ARE YOU KIDDING ME. THIS IS
WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO GO AND
BE SAFE THIS IS WHERE THEY'RE
SUPPOSED TO GO AND LEARN AND NOW
THEY'RE BEING EXPOSED TO LEAD
THIS IMPAIRING THEIR ABILITY TO
LEARN. AT WHAT POINT DOES THAT
NOT BECOME THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING TO FUND AND ADDRESS. TO ME
IT'S SIMPLE. FOR ME IT'S ABOUT
YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ACCELERATING
AND LEARNING AT THAT EARLY STAGE
OF LIFE WHERE THEIR BRAIN IS
FUNCTIONING AT THE HIGHEST PART
THAT IT CAN BE TO BE ABLE TO
ABSORB THE INFORMATION THAT THEY
NEED SO THEY CAN MOVE ON AND
HAVE A PRODUCTIVE LIFE. AND TO
BE ABLE TO BE ON PAR FOR COLLEGE
. AND THEY'RE GETTING DERAILED
BECAUSE THERE. THIRSTY ON THE
PLAYGROUND THE TAKE A DRINK OF
WATER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN
THEY'VE GOT STUFF HAPPENING IN
THEIR BODY THEY'RE NOT EVEN
AWARE OF BUT IT'S GOING TO BE
WITHIN THE REST OF THE LIFE. IS
IT THEIR FAULT. NO IT'S NOT.
VISIT US FALLING BACK ON EXCUSE
IS THAT THE- SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK
. THAT DOESN'T WORK EITHER.
BECAUSE THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT
NOW IT'S HAPPENED FOR A VERY
LONG TIME. AND THEN WE WONDER
WHY KIDS ARE NOT LEARNING. WHY
THEY'RE GETTING FALLING IN THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP WHY THEY'RE NOW.
GETTING DISTRACTED AND MAYBE ON
A PATH THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE
ON. THE NETWORK FUNDING FOR THAT
. HOW DO WE MANAGE THEM NOW IN
THEIR LIFE. WELL IT STARTS NOW.
WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING PART OF
MAYBE GETTING A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING A GLIMPSE. INTO
WHAT WE CAN DO. TO MAKE SURE
WE'RE MINIMIZING IF NOT
ELIMINATING. COMPLETELY LEAD IN
DRINKING WATER SO IT. GOT DIRECT
EXPOSURE TO OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
NOW I RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. I
THINK YOU SAID IT WAS KALRA. AB
TWO FORTY NINE THE MOTION IS TO
PASS AND RE REFER TO THE
COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION SENATORS
ALLEN. ALLEN AYE DALLY. DALLI
AYE GONZALEZ GONZALEZ I HER TADO

CONTINUES HER EFFORTS TO SAVE
BEES. THE AUTHOR WOULD LIKE TO
THANK YOU AND YOUR COMMITTEE
STUFF ON YOUR FOR YOUR WORK ON
THIS BILL AND SHE WILL ACCEPT
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS.
TODAY'S DEVASTATING DEVASTATING
POLLINATOR LOSS IS PRIMARILY
CAUSED BY PESTICIDES
SPECIFICALLY IT CLASS KNOWN AS
NEO NICKS. LOSS OF POLLINATORS
IN DANGER UPWARDS OF ELEVEN
BILLION ANNUALLY IN STATE
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION DRIVING
APPROVED BECAUSE- THAT'S
FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
STRAIN THE PRODUCTION AND
CONSUMPTION OF FOOD IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA PROTECTING OUR
ECOSYSTEM IS CRITICAL. LAST YEAR
MY COLLEAGUE FROM AROUND OUT RAN
AB TWENTY ONE FORTY SIX TO LIMIT
THE USE OF NEONICS IN NON
AGRICULTURAL SETTINGS FOR TURF
AND ORNAMENTAL PLANT
APPLICATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY THE
GOVERNOR VETOED THE BILL
DIRECTING DEPARTMENT TO EVALUATE
AND REGULATE THESE USES OF
NEONICS. AB THREE SIXTY THREE
SIMPLY ENSURES THIS EVALUATION
HAPPENS IN A TIMELY MANNER I
REQUIRING THE DEPARTMENT OF
PESTICIDE REGULATION TO COMPLETE
THE EVALUATION AND FINALIZE
CONTROL MEASURES FOR THE USE OF
NEW NECK PESTICIDES. ON TURF AND
OR ORNAMENTAL PLANTS IN NON
AGRICULTURAL SETTINGS. NEAR OF
ALTERNATIVES WHICH ARE MUCH LESS
HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND
HUMAN HEALTH. OTHER COUNTRIES
AND STATES OF ALREADY RECOGNIZE
THE WRIST YOUR NEXT POSSESS
POSE. THEY'RE ALREADY BANNED IN
THE EUROPEAN UNION FOR ALL USE
NEARLY ALL USES IN THE U. S. NEW
JERSEY AND MAINE HAVE BANNED
THEIR NON AGRICULTURAL USE. THIS
BILL SIMPLY ASK DPR TO USE THE
LATEST SCIENCE TO REEVALUATE
NEONICS IN NON AGRICULTURAL
SETTINGS AND ADOPT CONTROL
MEASURES TO PROTECT POLLINATING
INSECTS. AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS AND
HUMAN HEALTH WITH ME TODAY IN
SUPPORT OUR LARA D. HIM FROM THE
DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL
CALIFORNIA AND THEY'RE A LITTLE
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE WITH THE
NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL. I RESPECTFULLY ASK HER
AYE VOTE HEATHER. HELLO LARA THE
HEN STATE FOR AN CALIFORNIA-
THANK YOU SO MUCH TERRY ALLEN
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND WE ARE
REALLY EXCITED TO CO SPONSOR AB
THREE SIXTY THREE TO IT REALLY
EXTENDS GREATER PROTECTIONS. TO
THE LITTLE CREATURES THAT REALLY
HELP TO SUPPORT OUR WHOLE WAY OF
LIFE. BEES PLAY ACT CRITICAL
ROLE IN OUR NATURAL WORLD
POLLINATING THE FLOWERING PLANTS
THAT MAKE UP MUCH OF THE FOOD
THAT WE EAT. HOWEVER SINCE THE
WIDESPREAD ADOPTION OF
NEONICOTINOIDS OR NEONICS BE
POPULATIONS HAVE BEEN AND REALLY
STEEP DECLINE- AND FACTORS SOME
RECENT NUMBERS THAT CAME OUT
THAT WERE PUBLISHED LAST COUPLE
WEEKS I'M SURE THAT THIS PAST
WINTER MAY HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE
WORST WINTERS. ON RECORD WITH
NEARLY 50% OF COLONY BE COLONIES
LOST. AN AND ONE IN FOR A NEED
TO BE SPECIES IS AT RISK OF
EXTINCTION. AND I HAVE POURING
OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
IDENTIFIES NEW IN IT AS A LEAD
BECAUSE OF THE B. DIE OFFS AND
WE'VE SEEN A SIMILAR CONNECTION
BETWEEN MUNICH EXPOSURE AND HARM
TO BUTTERFLIES LIKE THE WESTERN
MONARCH BUTTERFLY THAT USED TO
NUMBER. IN THE MILLIONS ON THE
WEST COAST AND HAS NOW DROPPED.
TO JUST A FRACTION OF THAT. WE
SCIENTIFIC THE ALSO SHOW ME ON A
HARM BIRDS AND TODAY ARE SKY
HAVE 30% FEWER BIRDS THAN IN THE
NINETEEN SEVENTIES. BUT WHILE
THESE PRODUCTS ARE ON THE
SHELVES. CONSUMERS GARDENERS ARE
UNWITTINGLY TURNING THEIR
GARDENS THAT THAT MIGHT BE
POLLINATOR HAVENS INTO BE TRAPS
DEATH TRAPS. SO BY PASSING AB
THREE SIXTY THREE THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE CAN ENSURE THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF PESTICIDE
REGULATION ACTS SWIFTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY TO PROVIDE A
LIFELINE TO POLLINATORS. AND IN
TURN PROTECT LIFE FOR ALL OF US
WHO CALL EARTH HOME SO WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NAY VOTES
THANK YOU. YES SIR. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR ALLEN AND
MEMBERS OF THEIR LITTLE ON
BEHALF OF IN OUR DC I'M PROUD CO
SPONSOR OF AB THREE SIX THREE.
IN RELATION TO HUMAN IMPACTS
NEONICS ARE NEUROTOXINS THAT
POSE RISK TO HUMAN HEALTH
ESPECIALLY THE DEVELOPING
NERVOUS SYSTEM OF FETUSES AND
YOUNG CHILDREN. RECENT RESEARCH
FOUND THAT OF A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY ONE PREGNANT WOMAN
TESTED IN CALIFORNIA AND FOR
OTHER STATES OVER 95% HAD NEIL
NICKS IN THEIR BODIES THIS IS
ESPECIALLY CONCERNING GIVING
OTHER RESEARCH SHOWING THAT YOUR
NEXT PASSED FROM MOTHER TO
FETUS. AND THEN UNIX ARE LINKED
WITH MALFORMATIONS OF THE
DEVELOPING HEART AND BRAIN IN
ADDITION NEONICS ARE LEAD DRIVER
OF B. AND BROADER POLLINATION TO
CLIENTS THAT THREATEN PRODUCTION
OF POLLINATOR DEPENDENT CROPS IN
THE FUNCTIONING OF ECOSYSTEMS.
RESEARCHERS ESTIMATE THAT
POLLINATOR DECLINES ARE ALREADY
CAUSING A 325% DROP IN
PRODUCTION OF HEALTHY FRUITS.
VEGETABLES AND NUTS WORLDWIDE.
DVR'S RECENT RECENTLY COMPLETED
REEVALUATION OF AGRICULTURAL
USES OF NEONICS TOOK FIFTH
FOURTEEN YEARS TO COMPLETE. AND
FELL TO ASSESS HARMS OF LAWN AND
GARDEN MUNICH USES. AB THREE SIX
THREE ENSURE THAT DVRS
REEVALUATION FOR NON
AGRICULTURAL USES OF NEONICS IS
BOTH TIMELY AND THOROUGH. THESE
NON AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS ARE
OFTEN APPROVED FIR FAR HIGHER
RATES THAN THOSE IN AGRICULTURE.
MEANING INTENSELY CONTAMINATE
URBAN AND SUBURBAN AREAS WITH
MANY CALIFORNIANS LIVE WORK AND
PLAY. IT CALIFORNIA'S TO PROTECT
THESE CHILDREN ECOSYSTEMS FROM
THESE NEUROTOXINS YOU MUST ACT
QUICKLY TO REIN IN THE MOST
HARMFUL AND UNNECESSARY USES. WE
ARE COMMITTED TO BEGIN THAT
PROCESS TODAY BY VANCE IN THIS
BILL THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU SO MUCH OTHER FOLKS
WHEN WE SUPPORT. MISTER CHAMBERS
PAT RAN WITH THEIR AND READING

ALL RIGHT LET'S SAY HERE ANYONE
WHO WANTS TO RAISE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL OPPOSITION.
EITHER A GOOD MORNING MISTER
TURNER MEMBERS TAYLOR RUSSIAN ON
BEHALF OF A AGRICULTURAL INPUT
PROVIDERS WHO ALSO LOVE BEES AND
BUTTERFLIES. WE APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND THEY DO
A LOT TO HELP BUT UNFORTUNATELY
WE STILL HAVE A RESPECTFUL
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
ON THE BILL. AS IT'S CURRENTLY
DRAFTED THE BILL HAS THREE PARTS
IT REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT TO
MAKE IT JUST TERMINATION WHETHER
NOT RE EVALUATION IS NECESSARY
IT REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT TO
CONDUCT A REVALUATION. AND THEN
IT REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT TO
PROMULGATE REGULATIONS OR
CONTROL MEASURES THE CONCERN WE
HAVE IS THE LACK OF CONNECTIVE
TISSUE BETWEEN THOSE THREE STEPS
AS AN EXAMPLE UNDER THE CURRENT
DRAFTING OF THE BILL THE
DEPARTMENTS REQUIRED TO MAKE A
DETERMINATION A FREE EVALUATION
IS NECESSARY. AND IF THEY
DETERMINE THAT IT'S NOT
NECESSARY BY THEIR OWN DECISION
MAKING THE BILL STILL REQUIRES
DEPARTURE DO REVALUATION ANYWAY.
EVEN WITHOUT A SCIENTIFIC
JUSTIFICATION TO DO SO RATHER WE
WOULD SUGGEST THAT LANGUAGE BE
ADDED TO THE BILL TO CODIFY THIS
AS AN F. BANDS THE CONTROL
PROCESS- EVEN WITH THE ADDED
AMENDMENTS DPR WOULD DETERMINE
IF FREE EVALUATION IS NECESSARY
IN THE CONCERT CONSIDER ALL THE
DATA POINTS BROUGHT FORTH BY THE
PROPONENTS- ON A FREE EVALUATION
IS NECESSARY THEY WOULD THEN
COMPLETE ONE. IN THE APPROPRIATE
TIME AND IF IT FINDS THAT
CONTROL MEASURES ARE NECESSARY
THEY WOULD BE IMPLEMENTED THIS
MORE CLOSELY ALIGNS THE BILL
WITH THE STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURE AND THE SUB DEPARTMENT
SCIENCE BASED PROCEDURES. MAKING
ANY RULE MAKING THE DEPARTMENT
PROMULGATE LEGALLY DEFENSIBLE
WILL STILL OBTAINING THAT APART
OBLIGATING THE DEPARTMENT TO
MOVE IN A TIMELY MANNER THAT
INCLUDES ACCOUNTABILITY. I WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR
STAFF ON THE BILL. AND CONTINUE
TO DO SO THANK YOU. THE ALL
RIGHT ANYONE ELSE WANTS TO WIN

GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD MORNING MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SINCE JULY TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY ELEVEN
CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS HAVE PAID A
CARPET STEWARDSHIP ASSESSMENT
FEE WHEN PURCHASING CARPET SOLD
IN CALIFORNIA. THIS FEE FUNDS A
STATEWIDE CARPET RECYCLING
PROGRAM KNOWN AS THE CARPET
AMERICA RECOVERY EFFORT ANOTHER
WORDS WE CALL IT CARE CARE.
WHICH IS A PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY ORGANISATION
DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED BY
CARPET MANUFACTURERS WITH CAL
RECYCLE OVERSIGHT. WE NEED TO
REFORM THIS PROGRAM TO PREVENT
MORE CARPET IT TO PREVENT MORE
CARPET IN LANDFILLS FOSTER MORE
RESPONSIBILITY USE OF CONSUMER
FEE RESOURCES LESSON LITIGATION
WITH THE STATE AND PROMOTE MORE
ROBUST RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE.
FOR MAJOR PROCESSES IN
CALIFORNIA ARE NO LONGER IN
OPERATION IN PART BECAUSE WE
NEED TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OF
OUR SYSTEM ONE OF THOSE EVEN
CLOSE TO MY DISTRICT. AB EIGHT
SIXTY THREE WILL IMPROVE
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CARE OR ANY
OTHER CARPET RECYCLING PROGRAM
BY INCREASING CIVIL PENALTIES
FOR VIOLATING REAL VIOLENT LAWS
AND MAKING REPEAT OFFENDERS
INELIGIBLE TO RUN THIS PROGRAM.
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT R.
HEIDI SANBORN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE NATIONAL STEWARDSHIP
ACTION COUNCIL AND BOB ZERO
REPRESENTING THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA COUNCIL OF PAINTERS.
WELCOME THANK NICE TO SEE JIRO
AND SANBORN TOGETHER. IT'S GREAT
UNDER IF THAT'S YOUR FOR YOU
HEIDI THANK YOU THANK YOU SO
MANY MEMBER CURRY TURNED MEMBERS
MIGHTY SANBORN WITH THE NATIONAL
SEARCH ACTION COUNCIL WE ARE A
NONPROFIT THAT ADVOCATES FOR AN
EQUITABLE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
WE'RE PROUD TO SPONSOR. USING
TWO MECHANISMS FIRST INCREASING
THE PENALTIES TO LEVELS USED FOR
OTHER NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
CORPORATIONS AND THE SECOND IS
TO ENSURE THAT THE STORAGE OF
ORGANIZATION THAT HAS FAILED
THREE OR MORE TIMES TO MEET ITS
OBLIGATIONS IN THE GOALS OF THE
PROGRAM. BECOMES AN ELIGIBLE TO
RUN THE PROGRAMME. CARES
APPARENTLY FAILED TO MEET ITS
OBLIGATIONS FREQUENTLY AND
CONSISTENTLY SUBMITTING AN
ADEQUATE PLANS ANNUAL REPORTS
AND BEING OUT OF COMPLIANCE.
WITH THE PROGRAM GOALS THEIR
FAILURES HAVE REQUIRED
SIGNIFICANT OVERSIGHT AND
ENFORCEMENT BY CAL RECYCLE AND
BECAUSE THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE
AND STAKEHOLDERS SIGNIFICANT
RESOURCES TO MONITOR. IN FACT WE
HAD TO DEVELOP A GRAPH TO KEEP
TRACK OF THE PROGRAM FAILURES
BECAUSE I COULD NOT REMEMBER
THEM ANYMORE. AND TWENTY TWENTY
ONE ELEVEN YEARS AFTER THE
ORIGINAL BILL PASSED
ESTABLISHING THE PROGRAM CARES
ANY REPORT STATES THAT A HUNDRED
AND SIXTY THREE MILLION POUNDS
OF CARPET. IS STILL BEING
LANDFILLED WITH ONLY EIGHTY
THREE. OR EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION
COLLECTED. THIS MEANS THAT JUST
OVER HALF OF THE AVAILABLE
CARPET FOR RECYCLING IS EVEN
GETTING COLLECTED AFTER ELEVEN
YEARS OF THIS PROGRAM. FAILURE
TO MEET THE TARGETS FOR
CONVENING COLLECTION IS A KEY
PROBLEM- AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN
MEETING THAT FOR A WHILE IT'S
CAUSING US TO LOSE OUR RECYCLERS
BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET ENOUGH
CARPET IN CALIFORNIA. IN FACT
ONE OF THE PLANTS ACTUALLY NOT
ONLY CLOSED AND TOOK BUT THEY
TOOK THE EQUIPMENT THAT WAS PAID
FOR OUT OF THE FEE PROGRAM IN
THE CALIFORNIA FEE PAYERS PAID
FOR. TO ANOTHER STATE. SO WE
JUST WANT THE PROGRAM TO WORK
CALIFORNIANS DESERVE A PROGRAM
IT'S EASY TO USE CREATES AND
KEEP JOBS IN CALIFORNIA AND
RECYCLES MOST OF THE CARPET.
IT'S MADE PRIMARILY FROM FOSSIL
FUELS AND HAS A HUGE GREENHOUSE
GAS FOOTPRINT. SO I WANT TO
THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER YOUR CURRY
AND SENATOR DODD FOR THEIR
LEADERSHIP IN RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU. ART
THANKS. BOB THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS- I'D LIKE TO
FIRST THANK. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
REQUIRE CURRY FOR TAKING ON AN
ISSUE THAT. ISN'T ALWAYS THE
MOST BEAUTIFUL BUT IT'S
NECESSARY. WE WE HAVE A TWO
ISSUES- THE PAY I REPRESENT THE
UNITED THE INTERNATIONAL UNION
OF PAINTERS AND ALLIED TRADES.
DISTRICT COUNCIL THIRTY SIX IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND DISTRICT
COUNCIL SIXTEEN IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. ONE OF OUR MANY
CRAFTS. ARE CARPET LAYERS WE
HAVE CARPET LAYERS IN FLOOR
LAYERS WE HAVE A TRAINING
FACILITY IN WEST SACRAMENTO AND
ONE IN PLEASANTON WE HAVE TO IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. OUR GOAL IS
QUALITY NOT QUANTITY WE WANT.
MORE CARPET. TO BE ABLE TO BE
RECYCLED AND OUR BELIEF IS THAT
IF WE HAVE. A PREMISES. LEARNING
. HOW TO APPLY THE A PROXY. AND
THE GLUE AND THE OTHER THINGS
THAT NEED TO BE DONE TO LAY
CARPETS ON THE FRONT END THERE
WOULDN'T MORE CARPET. TO BE ABLE
TO BE RECYCLED ON THE BACK IT.
IN PLEASANTON AT OUR TRAINING
FACILITY OVER 50% OF THE CARPET
THAT WE REMOVE. FROM JOBS THAT
ARE GIVEN TO OUR SIGNATORY
CONTRACTORS COULD NOT BE
RECYCLED. AND THAT'S BECAUSE IT
WAS NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY. SO
WE'RE HERE HOPING AND WE'RE
CONTINUING TO WORK I UNDERSTAND
WITH THE AUTHOR IN THE
ADMINISTRATION AS THIS BILL
MOVES THROUGH WHERE DOUBLE JEWEL
ARE DOUBLE REFERRED TO JUDICIARY
I UNDERSTAND- TO TIGHTEN THAT
LANGUAGE TO ENSURE THAT. REVENUE
STAYS IN CALIFORNIA SO THAT WE
CAN DO MORE RECYCLING IN THAT WE
ARE. RECEIVING MONEY INTO THE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS WHETHER
IT'S US OR ANY ANY OTHER BODY
THAT HAS AN APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM TO TRAIN CARPET LAYERS-
THAT THEY GET IT ON THE FRONT
END AND NOT THE BACKEND. AND
IT'S OUR BELIEF THAT THAT WILL
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF CARPET
THEY CAN BE RECYCLED. AND THAT'S
IT THANK YOU THANK YOU THANKS
VERY MUCH. OTHER FOLKS WANT TO
VOICE THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE BILL
. MISTER MEMBERS MIKE WEST ON
BEHALF. THANK YOU MISTER MEMBERS

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS JOHN STELLA I'M WITH THE
CARPET AND RUG INSTITUTE WE ARE

IS MADE IN THE UNITED STATES
IT'S SOMETHING WE'RE VERY PROUD
OF- AND- WE HAVE SOME NEW
LEADERSHIP AT C. R. I. WE HAVE A
NEW PRESIDENT WHO HAS A STRONG
BACKGROUND IN SUSTAINABILITY.
BUT WITH THAT WE DO HAVE SOME

WHO HAVE TRAVELED HERE TODAY TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL SB SIX FIVE
TWO REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT OF
PESTICIDE REGULATION TO
ESTABLISH AN ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE. TO
IN TO INTEGRATE ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE CONSIDERATIONS INTO DPR
AS PROGRAMS AND POLICIES IT'S
COMMITTEE WILL CREATE A PUBLIC
ACCESSIBLE AND INSTITUTIONALIZED
PROCESS FOR PEOPLE IN
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. AND LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES TO
MEANINGFULLY PARTICIPATE IN
DECISION MAKING PROCESS SEES
ABOUT PESTICIDE USE WHICH
DISPROPORTIONATELY HARM. AND
BURDENS THEM SCIENTISTS HAVE
LINKED PESTICIDE EXPOSURE TO
BOTH ACUTE AND CHRONIC HUMAN
HEALTH IMPACTS INCLUDING AN
INCREASED RISK OF CANCER BIRTH
DEFECTS RESTORE ILLNESS AND A
CHRISTIAN AND REFLECT APART AND
STUDIES SHOW THAT BLACK
INDIGENOUS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR.
AS WELL AS PEOPLE LIVING IN LOW
INCOME HEARINGS ARE DESPORTES
EXPOSED TO PESTICIDES YET THE
SAME PEOPLE HAVE HISTORICALLY
NOT HAD AND STILL DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY PROVIDE MEANINGFUL
INPUT. INTO THE LAWS AND
POLICIES REGULATE PESTICIDES
THAT DIRECTLY IMPACT THEM. WELL
WE HAVE MADE SOME PROGRESS IN
ADDRESSING NEEDS ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE COMMUNITIES. TOO OFTEN
THEIR CONCERNS GO UNHEARD AND
UNADDRESSED THERE ARE FEW FORMAL
PROCESSES FOR DPR TO ADDRESS THE
REAL NEEDS OF THESE COMMUNITIES.
THIS BILL TAKES AN IMPORTANT
STEP IN RECTIFYING THIS ISSUE BY
STAB WISHING THE E. J. ADVISORY
COMMITTEE MADE UP OF VIRAL JUST
LEADERS TRIBAL RESENTED
FARMWORKER REPRESENTATIVES.
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS
AND SCIENTISTS TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO DPR
CONCERNING THE NEEDS OF THESE
IMPACT THE COMMUNITIES. THE BILL
THEN REQUIRES DEEP YARD FORMALLY
RESPOND AS HOW YOU INCORPORATE
THE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS
IS THAT PROGRAMS ULTIMATELY THIS
BILL WERE IMPROVE THE
ENVIRONMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH OF
THE COMMUNITIES IS PORTION
BURDENED BY THE HARMS AND RISKS.
BESIDES THROUGH THE FORMAL
PROCESS IS GREAT BY THE BILL.
DGSE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED THE
FORMATION OF A SIMILAR
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVISORY
COUNCIL AND THERE'S BEEN A
VIABLE JUSTICE ADVISED ME
OPERATING FOR YEARS AT CARP.
DECIDED TO INSTITUTE A SIMILAR
COMMITTEE AT. I WITHOUT REDUCE
TO PRIME. AND I HAVE. ON
ORGANIZE COULD WRECK AT THE PAST
ACT NETWORK AND ON HOW GARCIA
RECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIANS FOR
PESTICIDE REFORM. THANK YOU MAY
BE SEATED. GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBERS MY NAME IS ASHA SHARMA
AND I'M THE ORGANIZING CO
DIRECTOR AT PESTICIDE ACTION
NETWORK. I THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
LEAVE FOR HIS LEADERSHIP IN
OFFERING AB SIX FIFTY TWO. WHICH
IS A CRITICAL FIRST STEP IN
ENSURING ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
AT THE DEPARTMENT OF PESTICIDE
REGULATION OR DPR. GIVEN THEIR
INHERENT TOXICITY PESTICIDES
CARRY MANY HEALTH RISKS FOR
COMMUNITIES AND CHILDREN MOST
EXPOSED TO THEM. THE DATA SHOW
THAT PESTICIDE EXPOSURE AND
RELATED HEALTH IMPACTS
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT
MAJORITY RESIDENT OF COLOR
COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA. THERE
ARE MULTIPLE STATISTICS TO
ILLUSTRATE THIS POINT. FOR
EXAMPLE A STUDY FROM THE
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PUBLIC
HEALTH USING COUNTY PA DATA
FOUND THAT PESTICIDES ARE ONE OF
THE TOP TWO ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARDS IN CALIFORNIA. WHOSE
DISTRIBUTION WAS MOST CORRELATED
WITH RACE AND ETHNICITY. A BMC
PUBLIC HEALTH JOURNAL STUDY
FOUND THAT OVER HALF OF THE
GLYPHOSATE USE IN CALIFORNIA THE
FOURTH MOST USE PESTICIDE. WAS
APPLIED IN EIGHT LOS INCOME
COUNTIES WHERE THE MAJORITY OF
RESIDENTS IDENTIFIED AS LOT
NEXT. THESE HIGHER EXPOSURE
RATES ALL TRANSLATE INTO HIGHER
RISKS OF ACUTE POISONING AND
CHRONIC DISEASES. SUCH AS
CANCERS HEART DISEASE AND
RESPIRATORY DISEASE TO NAME A
FEW. WHILE THESE STATISTICS ARE
EXTREMELY TROUBLING OF EQUAL
CONCERN IS A LACK OF
REPRESENTATION THAT
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES HAVE IN OUR
PESTICIDE POLICIES. THEY'RE ONLY
LIMITED AD HOC WAYS COMMUNITY
MEMBERS CAN CURRENTLY VOICE
THEIR CONCERNS. ESTABLISHING AN
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE IT WOULD GIVE
COMMUNITIES AWAY TO ADVOCATE FOR
THEIR CONCERNS AND PROVIDE
RECOMMENDATIONS ON WHAT THEY
NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM
PESTICIDES. CREATING A FORMAL
CONSISTENT A PUBLIC PROCESS IS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO ENSURE
ACCOUNTABILITY AT DPR TO THE
COMMUNITIES THAT BEAR THE BRUNT
OF THE HARMFUL IMPACTS OF
PESTICIDES. THANK YOU CHARMERS
OF THE COMMITTEE I URGE YOUR
SUPPORT ON EIGHTY SIX FIFTY TWO
AND I'LL PASS THE TEST MONEY ON
TO MY COLLEAGUE ON HEALTH GARCIA

CHARRON COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY

MORE IMPORTANTLY. I'M HERE TODAY

BY PESTICIDE EXPOSURE NEAR HIS
SCHOOL CAUSING THEM TO SUFFER. A
SEVERE ASTHMA ATTACK. I'M LUCKY
TO HAVE MY SON WITH ME TODAY. BY
MANY OTHER PARENTS HAVEN'T BEEN
AS LUCKY. I'M ALSO HERE TODAY IN
MEMORY OF A LITTLE GIRL NAMED
SOPHIA. WHOSE LIFE WAS
TRAGICALLY CUT SHORT BY A RARE
CANCER AT THE AGE OF THREE. I'M
HERE TODAY AS A VOICE ADVOCATING
FOR PAT FOR PROTECTION FROM
PESTICIDES AND COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR LIKE MY HOMETOWN
GREENFIELD. THE HEART OF THE
VALLEY THE SALAD BOWL OF THE
WORLD. THE SALINAS VALLEY IS
ALSO THE PLACE WHERE TO
MICHAEL'S RESEARCH BY. UC
BERKELEY SCIENTISTS HAVE
REVEALED. AT THROUGH MORE THAN A
HUNDRED PUBLISHED STUDIES THAT
WHEN PREGNANT WOMEN ARE EXPOSED
TO PESTICIDES. THEIR CHILDREN
ARE MORE LIKELY. TO SUFFER FROM
BRAIN AND LUNG- AND LONGHORN
INCLUDING ADHD I. Q. LOSS AND
ASTHMA. AND YET WE SEE
CONTINUED. KROLL PATTERN.
FARMWORKERS WARNER'S THAT DAY
AND THEIR CHILDREN ARE HARMED BY
PESTICIDES. THEN SCIENTISTS
CONFIRMED THAT FORMER OCCURS
WERE RIGHT. THEN MANY YEARS
LATER SOMETIMES DECADE SOMETIMES
NEVER. THE STATE FINALLY
RESTRICTS PESTICIDE USE. IT IS
ALSO HARD TO HAVE OUR VOICES
HEARD. THE PREVIOUS MONTEREY

THANK YOU. MOSIS AGAIN ON BEHALF
OF THE VALUE PREVENT PROJECT IN

LET'S NOW I'VE TURNED TO
OPPOSITION OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE
BILL. THIS AB. SIX FIFTY TWO. A
GOOD MORNING AGAIN MISTER TURN
MEMBERS DELIBERATION ON BEHALF
COALITION OF AGRICULTURE AND
INPUT PROVIDERS I WOULD LIKE TO
EXPRESS THANKS TO THE AUTHOR FOR
THE RECENT AMENDMENTS AND WE
THINK THE BILL IS MOVING IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION- BUT
UNFORTUNATELY WE STILL HAVE IN
OPPOSE POSITION. NO ONE DEBATES
THAT MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES
AND THEIR VOICES HAVE NOT
HISTORICALLY BEEN GIVEN THE
RIGHT AND THE SPACE TO BE HEARD-
BUT WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND HE TERM
PARTICULAR HAS TAKEN AND WILL
CONTINUE TO TAKE DEMONSTRABLE
STEPS. BOTH FORMALLY AND
INFORMALLY TO RECTIFY THOSE
HISTORICAL WRONGS AND I WOULD
REFERENCE OUR LIST ARE ON A LIST
OF NON EXHAUSTIVE ACTIONS THAT
ARE IN OUR POSITION LETTER- OUR
CONCERN REMAINS ABOUT COMMITTEE
APPOINTMENTS AND THE PRACTICAL
IMPACTS- IN IMPLEMENTING THE
BILL. WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS
CONCERNS ABOUT THE APPOINTMENT
PROCESS IN THE BILL- UNDER ITS
CURRENT PROVISIONS THE FIRST
MEMBERS OF THE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE ARE APPOINTED BY THE
DIRECTOR THROUGH AN OPEN PROCESS
WHICH WE APPRECIATE. BUT THEN IT
IMPOSES NO TERM LIMITS ON THOSE
MEMBERS AND IF THE MEMBER DOES
CHOOSE TO LEAVE THEY GET TO
SELECT AND VOTE AND THEIR
SUCCESSOR. WE BELIEVE THIS
INGRATIATE A CLOSED LOOP LOOP
SYSTEM OF APPOINTEES THAT
REPRESENTS A VERY LIMITED NUMBER
OF THE THOUSANDS OF
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE INTEREST
GROUPS IN THE STATE. AND IT'S
NOT REFLECTIVE OF THE PRINCIPLE
OF INCREASE INCLUSIVITY.
RESPECTFULLY WE BELIEVE THAT
THIS BILL PRACTICALLY WILL ADD
BUREAUCRACY TO DPR AT A
SIGNIFICANT COST AS WE'VE SEEN
WITH OUR SISTER AGENCIES SUCH AS
CARP. I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY
THE REGULATED COMMUNITY SHARES
THE FRUSTRATION. THAT THE
DEPARTMENT IS NOT MOVING FAST
ENOUGH AND AS WITH ALL AGENCIES
THEY SHOULD BE MORE ACCOUNTABLE
TO THE PUBLIC AND THOSE THAT
THEY SERVE. BUT WHEN DPR MUST
DIRECT LIMITED RESOURCES AWAY
FROM CORE FUNCTIONS. WE BELIEVE
THIS WILL LENGTHEN. EXISTING
DELAYS FOR ACTIONS LIKE
REGISTERING SAFER AND MORE
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS. PROCESSING
LICENSEES. AND CONDUCTING
ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH
MONITORING FOR THESE REASONS
WERE STILL OPPOSE BUT WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK
WITH THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE THANK
YOU. OKAY THANK YOU. MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS CHRIS RIORDAN
CALIFORNIA FARMER I JUST WANT TO
ADD- TO WHAT MISS RUSSIAN IT WAS
MOTION SAID. ZERO AND A ONE YEAR
UP TO TWO PEOPLE WITH EXPERTISE
IN ISSUES AFFECTING SOLD
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS
AND RANCHERS. UP FROM OUR
PERSPECTIVE JUST FOUR HUNDRED
PLUS COMMODITIES IN THE STATE.
OUR QUESTION IS HOW LONG THOSE
FOLKS SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE HOW
DO WE GET A DIVERSITY OF
OPINIONS FROM FROM ACROSS THE
COMMODITY. OF WORLD IN
CALIFORNIA THERE'S NOTHING IN
THE LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS FOR
THAT ARE SAYS THAT SO. WE'D SURE
LIKE TO GET INPUT NOT JUST FROM
THE FRIPP FROM SORT OF A FEW
COMMODITIES BUT FROM A CROSS
SECTION. AND ALL THE AREAS
LISTED IN STATES FROM SUCH A
VALUE TO CENTRAL COASTAL AND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SO. DOES
THE- THAT'S ONE ISSUE THE SECOND
ISSUE I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP
IS IN TERMS OF. I'D SURE LIKE TO
SEE- I THINK WE SURE LET'S SEE
AND MISS RUSSIAN SAID THIS WELL.

ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD I WOULD LIKE TO BE
ASK OUR- ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR-
THIS IS SIMILAR TO AS YOU
MENTION CARBON ISN'T AS MANY OF
YOUR PROPONENTS OF MENTIONED-
BUT ALSO- SIMILAR TO A LOT OF
LEGISLATION WE'VE TRIED TO PUSH
FOR AIR QUALITY MEASURES BUT IN
THAT THE REALM OF PESTICIDES
WHICH- I THINK THE AND OUT.
ANALYSIS DEPICTS VERY
MEANINGFULLY ESPECIALLY UNDER
THE MEANINGFUL ENGAGEMENT-
PORTION WHICH IS YOU KNOW YOU'VE
MADE THIS A PRETTY PRESCRIPTIVE
KIND OF BILL BUT FOR GOOD REASON
BECAUSE THESE COMMUNITIES OFTEN
FEEL LEFT OUT THE WORKSHOPS
AREN'T ENOUGH. IT NEEDS-
INSTITUTIONALIZED PROCESSES IT
COMMITTEE WHERE THERE IS THIS
ENGAGEMENT THAT IS CONSISTENT
AND WHERE PEOPLE FEEL HEARD AT
THE END OF THE DAY ESPECIALLY
FOR- COMMUNITIES LIKE OUR
FARMWORKER COMMUNITY AND
ADJACENT COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
AFFECTED BY THESE TESTIFIED SO-
HAPPY TO SUPPORT AND MOVE THE
BILL AS APPROPRIATE AS WELL. IN
ORDER TO HAVE A CO AUTHORSHIP
THANK YOU. I SAID MOVING TO
PREVENT- JUST JUST QUESTION I
THERE WAS A ISSUE UP BY OF THE
FOLKS WHO IS RAISING CONCERNS
ABOUT- FOLKS FROM SOCIALLY SEDAN
COMMUNITIES ARE- IN THE- ON THE
FARMING AND RANCHING SITE I
NOTICED THAT THERE'S- A LINE IN
HERE- ADDING TWO MEMBERS WITH
EXPERTISE IN ISSUES AFFECTING.
THEM THAT COULD BE. THAT'S A
THAT'S- BIG LANGUAGE I MEAN WHAT
WHAT WHAT M. M. TELL ME A BIT
MORE ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON-
MAKING SURE THAT AS- I THAT THAT
THAT THERE MIGHT BE VOICES FROM
THOSE COMMUNITIES ON THE ON THE
COMMITTEE. YEAH RIGHT NOW INSIDE
THE BILL WE DO PRESCRIBE IT. UP
TO TWO PEOPLE EXPERTISE IN
ISSUES AFFECTING SOCIALLY
DISADVANTAGED FARMERS OR
RANCHERS AND THERE ARE
CATEGORIES OF FOLKS ESPECIALLY
DIGITS GROUPS AND- OTHER FOLKS
WHO ARE AFFECTED ON THE FRONT
LINE COMMUNITIES SO WE HAVE KIND
OF PRESCRIPTIVE- KIND OF FORMULA
ABOUT IT BUT WE GIVE SOME WIGGLE
ROOM OF COURSE HOW THE
COMMISSION. S. R. HOW THE DPR
ULTIMATELY POINTS PEOPLE I DON'T
KNOW IF MY- SPONSORS WANT TO
COMMENT ON THIS SOCIALLY-
EXPERTISE IN SOCIALLY
DISADVANTAGED FARMERS OR
RANCHERS PEACE ASPECT OF IT.
YEAH SURE AND IF THE QUESTION IS
YOU KNOW MAKING SURE THAT
SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED FARMERS
AND RANCHERS THEMSELVES BECAUSE
THEY'RE ON THE COMMITTEE AND BE
ELIGIBLE THAT'S- DEFINITELY THE
CASE I THINK WE WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THE LANGUAGE- WAS OPEN FOR.
YOU KNOW SOMETIMES THERE'S
ADVOCATE GROUPS THAT- HAVE THE
EXPERTISE AND HAVE MEMBERS WHO
ARE SOCIALLY DISADVANTAGED
FARMERS AND RANCHERS BUT OF
COURSE THERE GROUP THAT. YOU
KNOW THEY'RE OF FARMERS ARE VERY
BUSY AND SO WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU KNOW WE LEFT THE
LANGUAGE OPEN TO REPRESENTATIVES
AS WELL. YEAH I DESERVED TO SAY
THE WAY IT'S WRITTEN RIGHT NOW
IT COULD BE ANYONE WITH. WHO-
STUDIES THAT IT COULD BE
ACTUALLY VERY ANTAGONISTIC
TOWARD THEM. BUT THEY MAY KNOW A
LOT ABOUT THEM- SO I WOULD THINK
THAT- AS THE BILLS MOVING FOR
THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT YOU
WOULD. TAKE SOME TIME TO LOOK AT
ANOTHER SOME BROADER CONCERNS
THAT WERE RAISED- WHAT WHAT
WHERE DO YOU SEE THE STATUS OF
THE CONVERSATIONS RIGHT NOW WITH
WITH THE FOLKS RAISING CONCERNS
YEAH WITH THE FOLKS WHO RAISE
CONCERNS TODAY I'M ALWAYS HAPPY
TO DISCUSS- DISCUSS CHANGES WE
HAVE NOT. RECEIVED ANY PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS WE ONLY. RECEIVE THIS
CONCERNS ME A LETTER BUT MY
STAFF AND I ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK
ABOUT ANY CHANGES THAT WERE
PROPOSALS THEY WANT ESPECIALLY
THE LANGUAGES. OKAY ALL RIGHT
I'M WITHOUT UNDERSTAND HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY AND- THEY
JUST LIKE LIKE YOU THE OPTION TO
CLOSE THE MOVE BY CENTERS OFFICE
. YES I. OF COURSE THERE'S- I'VE
- SUPPORT TODAY FOR THIS BILL
BECAUSE YOU KNOW FOR TOO LONG.
OUR FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES
SPECIALLY THOSE ARE POOR. THESE
ARE PEOPLE OF COLOR AND THOSE
ARE REAL COMMUNITIES OFTEN DON'T
GET A VOICE. IN MEANINGFUL
DECISION MAKING THAT COULD
CHANGE OUTCOMES OF THEIR ENTIRE
LIVES WITH THEIR FAMILIES LINES.
AND THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE SEE
WHEN OUR INSTITUTIONS TALK. AT
PEOPLE. AND LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE
WHO NEED IT MOST SO THIS IS ONE
OF THOSE SMALL STEPS WHERE WE
MAKE SURE WE UP WITH VOICES OF
RURAL COMMUNITIES PEOPLE OF
COLOR. SO SHE DOES HER VERY.
OFTEN DON'T GET SO MUCH POWER IN
THE- IN AND IS MAKING. AND SARSA
CLASS RIPE TODAY THANK YOU. OKAY

CHAIRED COLLEAGUES SAID THIS
BILL WILL REQUIRE THE RELEVANT
STATE AGENCIES. IMPLEMENT AND
ENFORCE MEASURES ASSIGNED TO IT
IN THE COMMUNITY EMISSIONS

SEARCH. ADOPTED BY LOCAL AIR
DISTRICTS AND AIR RESOURCES
BOARD'S. ALSO CREATES SOME
FLEXIBILITY ON SOME
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. UP FOR
THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THE V.
SIX ONE SEVEN COMMUNITY. HIGH
STEERING- COMMITTEE SO- WITH
THAT- WE HAVE TO- WITNESSES I
BELIEVE THAT. ARE GONNA BE
TESTIFYING- BRIEFLY. ON THE BILL
. PLEASE PROCEED. GOOD MORNING
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS KATHERINE HIGGINS AND
I'M THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY
EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR COMMUNITY
PROGRAMS AT SOUTH COAST A CUME
DEE. WE ARE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF
AB EIGHT FORTY NINE AM PLEASED
TO SERVE AS THE BILL'S SPONSOR

REQUIRED TO ADDRESS LOCALIZED
AIR POLLUTION IMPACTS. THAT
ENDANGER THE HEALTH OF
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES THEY'RE CURRENTLY
NINETEEN EIGHTY SIX SEVENTEEN
COMMUNITY STATEWIDE AND SIX ARE
WITHIN THE SOUTH COAST REGION.
TO FACILITATE THIS COMMUNITY
DRIVEN PROGRAM WE WORK CLOSELY
WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS LOCAL
LEADERS NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS FORMED
COMMUNITY STEERING COMMITTEES
KNOWN AS CSCS. THROUGHOUT THE
CSCS AIR DISTRICTS COORDINATE
WITH AB SIX SEVENTEEN
COMMUNITIES TO DEVELOP.
COMMUNITY EMISSION REDUCTION
PLANS KNOWN AS SERPS THAT
INCLUDES STRATEGIES TO REDUCE
DISPROPORTIONATE LEVELS OF AIR
POLLUTION. SERBS ARE DEVELOPED
THROUGH A PROCESS COLETTE BY
CSCS IN COLLABORATION WITH AIR
DISTRICTS AND REFLECT THE
COMMUNITIES YOUR QUALITIES
PRIORITIES. SEARCH CONTAINABLE
WRITER STRATEGIES SUCH AS
COMMITMENTS TO DEVELOP NEW
REGULATIONS INCENTIVES TO
ACCELERATE THE ADOPTION OF
CLEANER TECHNOLOGIES AND
COLLABORATIONS WITH COMMUNITY
STAKEHOLDERS AND OTHER AGENCIES.
HOWEVER AT TIMES PROPOSED
SERVICE STRATEGIES GO BEYOND.
THE ABILITY OF THE CALIFORNIA
AIR RESOURCES BOARD AND LOCAL
AIR DISTRICTS. IT IS IN THESE
CASES THAT INVOLVEMENT OF
RELEVANT STATE AGENCIES IS
CRITICAL TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE
COMMUNITY IDENTIFIED ISSUES. AND
WITHOUT SUCH INVOLVEMENT VARIOUS
STRATEGIES COULD SIMPLY BE
ABANDONED ALSO AS PART OF THE
CSC PROCESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS
WHO ENGAGE IN DEVELOPING SERVICE
SHOULD BE PROVIDED WITH AN
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET SUPPORTING
THEIR AUTONOMY. WITH CARP
COORDINATING SUCH A STATE WIDE
ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET ALLOCATION
GREATER PROGRAM CONSISTENCY WILL
BE ACHIEVED. THAT'S WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT THE PASSAGE OF AB EIGHT

STRATEGIES THAT GO BEYOND THE
AUTHORITIES OF CARBON NEAR
DISTRICTS. TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE STRATEGIES INVOLVED
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND
PARTICIPATION FROM A STATE
AGENCY OTHER THAN CARB AB EIGHT
FORTY NINE PROVIDES A REASONABLE
PROCESS TO ENGAGE THE STATE
AGENCIES AND HAVE COMMUNITY
VOICES HEARD. AT THE SAME TIME
COMMUNITIES ALSO SHOULD BE ABLE
TO GET FORMAL FEEDBACK FROM THE
STATE AGENCIES EITHER THAT THE
PROPOSED STRATEGY IS WORTHY OF
CONSIDERATION IN FUTURE ACTION
OR THAT THE STRATEGIES IN
FEASIBLE AND WILL NOT BE
CONSIDERED. ADDITIONALLY WE ALSO
SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL IN AB EIGHT

CLARIFY THOSE QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS- I HAVE NO DOUBT THEY
WILL BE ABLE TO AND ALIGNED AT A
PLACE OF CONSENSUS- BUT AS YOU
ARE AWARE THESE- PLANS ARE
COMMUNITY DRIVEN. AND IT

STAKEHOLDER PROCESS AND INPUT
AND SO- WE'RE NOT STEERING AWAY
FROM THAT PARTICULAR PROCESS
WHICH IS WANTING TO MAKE SURE
THAT. THE RESPECTED AGENCIES
HAVE. A ROLE WHEN IT COMES TO
IMPLEMENTING THE STRATEGIES THAT
ARE IDENTIFIED BY THE
COMMUNITIES IN IN SOME CASES
THERE MAY BE. A SITUATION WHERE

SKINNER. ALL RIGHT LET'S SET
THANK YOU SO MUCH WILL BE
AVAILABLE FOR THE FOLKS OVER AT
ON THIS CALL YOU- SUMMER AROUND
US HERE I INTEND AB. NINETY
FIVE. THE IF THE- UNIVERSITY
WHEN I HAVE YOU SO MUCH AND
APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN EARLIER
I KNOW. THANK YOU MAY WALKER AND
MEMBERS. I'D LIKE TO BE BY
THANKING YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PRESENT ON AB NINE EIGHTY
FIVE TODAY. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO
START BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE
COMMITTEES HARD WORK AND IN
PARTICULAR ERIC WALTERS AND WE
ARE HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AS
PROPOSED WITHIN THE ANALYSIS.
THE AMENDMENTS NERO THIS BILL
GREATLY BY REMOVING THE REFORMS
FROM PRIOR VERSIONS AND INSTEAD
OF FOCUSING SOLELY ON BRINGING
MUCH NEEDED TRANSPARENCY TO THE
VALLEY. AB NINE EIGHTY FIVE NOW
REPRESENTS A CRITICAL FIRST STEP
TOWARDS RESTORING THE
COMMUNITY'S FAITH IN ITS
GOVERNMENT IN PROTECTING THE
HEALTH OF THOSE WHO LIVE NEXT
DOOR TO SOME OF THE HIGHEST
POLLUTING INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS
IN OUR STATE. ORIGINALLY THE
EMISSION REDUCTION CREDIT
PROGRAMS WERE BASED ON THE
NOTION THAT POLLUTERS COULD BE
MOTIVATED TO VOLUNTARILY USE A
SYSTEM OF POLLUTION CREDITS THAT
WOULD RESULT IN THE REDUCTION OF
EMISSIONS BEYOND THAT. ACHIEVED
THROUGH DIRECT REGULATION.
HOWEVER AFTER YEARS OF EFFORTS
COMMUNITY GROUPS IDENTIFIED
SERIOUS DISCREPANCIES WITH
CREDITS THAT HAD BEEN VALIDATED
BY THE AIR DISTRICT. IN TWENTY
TWENTY THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD FINALLY AGREED
TO LOOK INTO IT AT APPROXIMATELY
TWO HUNDRED OF THE CREDITS.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY OVER TWO
THOUSAND CREDITS AVAILABLE FOR
SALE. THE REPORT CONFIRMED WHAT
COMMUNITY GROUPS HAD LONG
SUSPECTED. THAT THERE ARE CREDIT
FOR SALE RIGHT NOW THAT SHOULD
HAVE NEVER BEEN ISSUED IN THE
FIRST PLACE. THESE CREDITS CAN
BE USED TO ALLOW FUTURE
POLLUTION WHEN THERE WAS NO
ORIGINAL VOLUNTARY REDUCTION OF
POLLUTION TO JUSTIFY THE
ORIGINAL CREDIT. DESPITE THIS
DISCOVERY HOWEVER. THERE ARE A
COUPLE THOUSAND CREDITS THAT
HAVE YET TO BE REVIEWED. AB NINE
EIGHTY FIVE DIRECTS CARB TO
FINISH THE JOB IT STARTED TO
ENSURE THAT THE- THAT ALL OF THE
CREDITS IN THE PROGRAM ARE VALID
. NOT REVIEWING THE REMAINING
CREDITS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
THE YOUNG CHECKED CREDITS
CONTAIN OFFSETS FOR POLLUTANTS
THAT ARE IMPLICATED IN SEVERE
HEALTH ADVERSE IMPACTS.
PARTICULATE MATTER PM TWO POINT
FIVE AND PM TEN HAVE BEEN SHOWN
TO ACCUMULATE AND FETAL TISSUE
JUST STATION WITH LINKS TO BOOK
LOW BIRTH WEIGHT AND INFANT
MORTALITY. CARBON MONOXIDE
REDUCES THE CAPACITY OF THE BODY
TO PUMP OXYGENATED BLOOD TO THE
HEART THE OXIDES OF SULPHUR MAY
INCREASE THE RISK OF CHILDREN
DEVELOPING ASTHMA AND WORSEN
RESPIRATORY SYMPTOMS AND
OUTCOMES AMONG THOSE CHILDREN'S
THAT DO DEVELOP ASTHMA. THEY'RE
ALSO CREDIT BANKS FOR ACETONE E.
THINGS SOUL FOOD AND HYDROGEN
SULFIDE EACH WITH ITS OWN SET OF
HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
. THIS HAS RESULTED IN DECADES
OF EXPOSURE BY COMMUNITIES
LIVING NEXT TO THE STATIONARY
SOURCES TO EXCESS POLLUTION THAT
SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN PERMITTED
. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT CREDITS
BE BASED ON EMISSION REDUCTIONS
THAT WERE REAL. APPERLEY
QUANTIFIED PERMANENT ENFORCEABLE
AND SURPLUS. THIS IS NOT A NEW
STANDARD IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE
STANDARD. THIS BILL SIMPLY
DEMANDS THAT CREDITS CURRENTLY
UP FOR SALE MEET THIS. CARBON IN
THE AIR DISTRICT MUST ENSURE
THAT THE SYSTEM IS FUNCTIONING
AS INTENDED TRANSPARENTLY AND
FAIRLY. TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF
AB NINE EIGHTY FIVE ARSIS ON
SADAT WITH EARTH JUSTICE AND
MUDDY CREWS FROM IT AS A
COMMUNITY ORGANIZER IS THE
ORGANIZER WITH CENTER ON RACE
POVERTY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS MY NAME IS MICROSEMI
THIS CINEMA COMMITTEE ORGANIZER
WITH THE CENTER ON RACE POVERTY
AND THE ENVIRONMENT. I WAS BORN
AND RAISED IN KERN COUNTY A
PLACE WHERE OIL IS VIEWED AS
SACRED AND CONSIDER THE BLOOD OF
THE EARTH. HOWEVER I AM HERE TO
REPRESENT THE FORGOTTEN AND
NEGLECTED VOICES THE POOR AND
WORKING CLASS COMMUNITIES WILL
HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO ENTER THE
CONSEQUENCES FROM THE
DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY OIL AND
GAS INDUSTRIES. AS THE MAIN
HOLDER OF THE MISSION EMISSION
REDUCTION CREDITS OIL AND GAS
CORPORATIONS NEED TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE MOMENTOUS
DAMAGE THEY HAVE CAUSED TO
COUNTLESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
BEING AN ORGANIZER ON THE GROUND
MY WORK REQUIRES ME TO CREATE
BONDS WITH THOSE AFFECTED AND I
CARRY THEIR STORIES WITH ME TO
SHARE SOME TODAY. ONE MEMBER IN
THE TOWN OF ARBIN ESTELLA SCOTT
THOUGH SHARES A SHE KNOWS TOO
MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE SUFFERED
ASTHMA CANCER ALLERGIES
RESPIRATORY ISSUES DUE TO
POLLUTION COSTS. BY ABUSES
COURTESY OF OIL AND GAS
COMPANY'S. ANOTHER KERN RESIDENT
WILL SET CHAVEZ HAS TOLD ME THAT
THOSE WHO ABUSE THE EMISSION
REDUCTION CREDITS DO NOT LIVE IN
THE TOWNS THAT THEY HAPPEN TO
CONTAMINATE. AND THAT THEY NEED
TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR
LEAVING INNOCENT PEOPLE IN THE
DUST TO SUFFER AND DIE.
REGARDING THE NECESSARY
ACCOUNTABILITY FROM BOTH BIG OIL
AND THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR
POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT. IT
WOULD ONLY BE APPROPRIATE FOR
THAT TO INCLUDE INVESTIGATION
INTO HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL
POLLUTION WAS RELEASED DUE TO
THE INAPPROPRIATE USE OF
EMISSION REDUCTION CREDITS. I
STRONGLY URGE SUPPORT FOR A BI
NINETY FIVE AS AN IMPERATIVE
STEP AND IN THE CORRUPTION IS
IMMENSE MANAGEMENT OF THESE
CREDITS. AS AN ESSENTIAL ACTION
TOWARDS RESTORING CLEAN AIR TO
THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND BEYOND.
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING MY NAME
IS HASAN SADDAM A SENIOR POLICY
ANALYST WITH THEIR JUSTICE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF AB NINETY
FIVE. THE BILL IS FAIRLY
STRAIGHTFORWARD IT ESSENTIALLY
REQUIRES AN ASSESSMENT OF
WHETHER INDUSTRIES ARE FOLLOWING
THE RULES OF THE CLEAN AIR ACT.
IN THE MOST POLLUTED AIR BASE IN
IN THE COUNTRY. WHEN A DISTRICT
IS SEVERELY OUT OF ATTAINMENT
FOR HEALTH BASED AIR STANDARDS
AS THE VALLEY HAS BEEN FOR
DECADES. THE ERC PROGRAM IS
SUPPOSED TO ENSURE THAT NEW
SOURCES OF POLLUTION ARE OFFSET
WITH REDUCTIONS THAT ARE REAL
SURPLUS AND PERMANENT. AND AFTER
PRESSING THE ISSUE FOR YEARS
RESIDENTS WERE SUCCESSFUL IN
GETTING HARD TO DO A SAMPLE
AUDIT SMALL BUT REPRESENTATIVE
FRACTION OF THE CREDITS IN SOME
OF THE POLLUTANT BANKS. AND THE
RESULTS OF THE AUDIT SPEAK FOR
THEMSELVES. ALMOST HALF OF ALL
THE CREDITS WERE ALMOST ALL OF
THE CREDITS WERE ACTIVE WERE
FROM OVER THIRTY YEARS AGO GO.
AND USING THE DISTRICTS ROD DATA
CARD COULD NOT BACK UP THE
DISTRICTS CLAIMS. FOR REDUCTIONS
OF OVER HALF THE PROJECTS
EXAMINED. AND THE DISTRICT DID
NOT HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
DOCUMENTATION TO EXPLAIN THEIR
MATH. CARBONE CASES WERE
INFLATED CREDITS WERE AWARDED
FOR OF FOR REQUIRED POLLUTION
REDUCTION IN VIOLATION OF
FEDERAL AND STATE LAW. IN ONE
INSTANCE THE DISTRICT OVER
CREDITED ORPHAN OIL WELL SHUT
DOWN WITH MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED
TONS. OF VOCS WHEN CARB
DETERMINED THE PROJECT SHOULD
HAVE RECEIVED ZERO TONS OF
CREDIT. THE GLIMPSE FROM THE
SAMPLE AUDIT IS ENOUGH TO BE
OUTRAGED BUT- IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO
UNDERSTAND THE FULL SCOPE OF
HARM TO VALLEY RESIDENTS AIR. AB
NINE EIGHT FIVE TELLS THE
DISTRICT TO DO WHAT ANY LOGICAL
OBSERVER WOULD DO GIVEN THIS
INFORMATION. KEEP GOING FINISH
REVIEWING THE REST OF THE
POLLUTANT BANKS. QUANTIFY THE
INVALID OF CREDITS THAT STILL
REMAIN IN THE BANK TODAY. WE
NEED TO KNOW THAT NO SIGNIFICANT
NEW POLLUTION IN THE VALLEY CAN
OCCUR. UNLESS IT'S OFFSET BY
REDUCTIONS THAT ARE ACTUALLY
REAL SURPLUS AND VERIFIABLE. AS
THE LAW HAS ALWAYS REQUIRED. SO
IN SUMMARY THE BILL IS JUST
ENSURING THAT THE ERC PROGRAM
FUNCTIONS AS IT WAS INTENDED.
AND THE INDUSTRY AND THE MOST
POLLUTED AIR BASE IN THE COUNTRY
IS PLAYING BY THE RULES. BECAUSE
THE AUDIT WE HAVE SO FAR PROVED
THAT'S NOT BEEN THE CASE. AND
WHEN YOU HEAR SABER RATTLING
ABOUT JOB LOSS WHENEVER
COMMUNITIES DEMAND
ACCOUNTABILITY. JUST REMEMBER
THIS BILL IS JUST BRINGING THE
INDUSTRY CLOSER TO HAVING TO
COMPLY WITH THE BASIC HEALTH
PROTECTIONS. THAT THEY MANAGED
TO SUBVERT FOR DECADES. IT'S NOT
TOO MUCH TO ASK THE INDUSTRY
FIGURE OUT HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS
THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE EVADING THE
LAW. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT LET'S
SAID ANYONE ELSE WAS AWAY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL AB NINETY
FIVE. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR K¾T

INTER DC IN SUPPORT. MOSES AGAIN
ON BEHALF OF THE PESTICIDE
ACTION NETWORK IN SUPPORT. OKAY
LET'S GO TO OPPOSITION CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL AB NINETY FIVE. A
GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE ON MY NAME IS
MORGAN LAMBERT I'M WITH THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL DISTRICT. AND THAT WE
ARE HERE TODAY TO RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSE AB NINE EIGHTY FIVE. THE
DISTRICT WORKS VERY CLOSELY WITH
OUR STATE AND FEDERAL PARTNERS
AS WE TRY TO IMPLEMENT OUR CLEAN
AIR MISSION FOR VALLEY
RESIDENTS. THROUGH THESE ONGOING
EFFORTS- PERMITTED STATE
RESOURCES OR FACILITIES- IN THE
VALLEY FACE THE MOST STRINGENT
AIR QUALITY REGULATIONS IN THE
COUNTRY AND THIS HAS BEEN
CONTINUOUSLY REEVALUATED AND
VALIDATED BY THE FEDERAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.
AS WELL AS THROUGH- LEGAL
ACTIONS IN COURT CASES- ONLY
AFTER FACILITY INSTALLED THE
MOST STRINGENT EMISSION CONTROL
REQUIREMENTS TO ERC'S COME INTO
PLAY AND ARE ARE PART OF THE
SYSTEM. AS IN PRINT AB NINETY
FIVE WILL MAKE PERMITTING NEW
AND MODIFIED FACILITIES IN THE
VALLEY IMPOSSIBLE IN MANY
CIRCUMSTANCES BY ARTIFICIALLY
LIMITING THE AVAILABILITY OF
ERC'S- THIS INCLUDES ALL TYPES
OF DIFFERENT INFORMATION ARE- IT
OUT. FACILITIES INCLUDING
CRITICAL OPERATIONS IN CENTRAL
PUBLIC SERVICES WE UNDERSTAND
THE AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL-
MAYBE CHANGE ASPECTS OF THIS UP
THESE PARTS OF THE BILL WE LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING THOSE- ONCE
THEY COME OUT IN PRINT. THE BILL
ALSO REQUIRES A COSTLY STUDY OF
YOUR SEASON HAS ALREADY BEEN
DONE- AND I'M IN MANY CASES IS
OF POLLUTANTS FOR WHICH THE
VALLEY HAS LONG BEEN
ENTERTAINMENT FOR DECADES TO IN
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. IT IS A
WASTE OF BOTH STATE AND LOCAL
RESOURCES THAT SHOULD BE USED
INSTEAD TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL
WAYS TO ACTUALLY REDUCE
EMISSIONS- FOR WHICH- ARE NEEDED
TO BRING THE VALIANT TO
ATTAINMENT. THE DISTRICT HAS
WORKED COOPERATE WITH CAR ANY PA
IN THEIR OVERSIGHT CAPACITY
DURING THE RECENT PROGRAM REVIEW
AND RECENTLY AND WITH THAT
REVIEW WE LOOK TO IDENTIFY
OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
TO THE R. C. M. ARE PERMITTING
PROGRAMS. THESE ENHANCEMENTS
WERE APPLIED TO ALL BANKS- NOT
JUST THOSE UP REVIEWED BY- CAR
DURING THAT THE REVIEW AND WERE
FORMALIZED THROUGH AMENDMENTS TO
THE DISTRICT'S PERMITTING RULES
IN APRIL THIS YEAR. THEREFORE
THE DISTRICT SEIZE THE REVIEW AS
DUPLICATIVE AND A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF STATE AND LOCAL COST
REQUIRED TO MEET THESE NEW
PROVISIONS. ARE WITHOUT A
CORRESPONDING BENEFITS AIR
QUALITY. INSTEAD THESE RESOURCES
COULD BE BETTER INVESTED IN
CONTINUING DEVELOP AND DEPLOY
THE MOST STRINGENT LOCAL
MEASURES AND ACHIEVING. THE MUCH
NEEDED REDUCTIONS IN MOBILE
SOURCE EMISSIONS WHICH MAKE UP
THE VAST MAJORITY OF EMISSIONS
IN THE VALLEY AND CONTRIBUTES
MOST SIGNATORIES AMY CHALLENGES
- AGAIN WE HAVE HEARD THAT THE
BILL MAY BE AMENDED IMMEDIATELY-
WE HEARD. TODAY FROM THE AUTHOR
THAT HE'S ACCEPTING THOSE
AMENDMENTS HOWEVER THE DISTRICT
STILL HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE
BILL AND WE REMAIN. IN
OPPOSITION OF THE BILL THANK YOU
. I THANK YOU. MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS BRENDAN TOOK ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA AIR POLLUTION
CONTROL OFFICERS ASSOCIATION-
HERE SEE PROGRAMS ARE NOT UNIQUE
TO THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY AIR
POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT. I'M
AS REQUIRED BY. STATE AND
FEDERAL LAW YOUR DISTRICTS
OPERATE THE R. C. PROGRAMS AND
AGAIN IS MISTER LAMBERT. SAID
ERC'S COME INTO PLAY ONLY AFTER
COMPLIANCE WITH PROHIBITORY- AND
STRINGENT AIR DISTRICT RULES AND
ALSO MEETING BEST A VELK.
AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
REQUIREMENTS- WE'RE WE'RE VERY
CONCERNED WITH THE PRECEDENT
THAT THIS BILL SETS- IT THAT
OTHERS WILL PURSUE THESE TYPES
OF APPROACHES. THAT ARE A HUGE
DRAIN ON AIR DISTRICT RESOURCES-
ERR DISTRICTS ARE ALREADY UNDER
RESOURCE. THIS THIS TYPE OF
APPROACH IS NOT GOING TO RESULT
IN ANY FURTHER EMISSION
REDUCTIONS OR IMPROVEMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH. AND YOU KNOW WHAT
WE THINK YOU KNOW AIR DISTRICTS
ARE DOING ALL THEY CAN TO
REDUCE. EMISSIONS IN HIM AND AIR
POLLUTION FROM STATIONARY
SOURCES OVER WHICH WE HAVE
AUTHORITY- BUT THE ROLE OF
MOBILE SOURCES NEEDS TO BE PART
OF THIS CONVERSATION- IN THE SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY FOR KNOX. MOBILE
SOURCES ACCOUNT 485% OF THE
POLLUTION STATEWIDE 70% ARE FROM
MOBILE SOURCES FOR AIR POLLUTION
AND SO- WHAT WE NEED MEMBERS IS
WE NEED HELP WAIT WE'RE UNDER
RESOURCES UNDER RESOURCE WE WILL
NEED FURTHER INVESTMENT. IN
MOBILE SOURCE INCENTIVE
REDUCTION PROGRAMS THAT HAVE
HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE EFFICIENT
HIGHLY COST EFFECTIVE- AND- AND
WE CAN GET. AND ACTUALLY IMPROVE
PUBLIC HEALTH EFFICIENTLY AND-
AND. AND SO WE ASK THAT YOU.
HELP IN THAT MATTER RATHER THAN
PURSUING- APPROACHES LIKE THIS
THAT JUST MAKE IT HARDER FOR US
TO MEET OUR CLEAN AIR GOALS SO
WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME- AND-
JOB POSITION OF THE BILL. HEY

MORE DANGEROUS. THAN OTHER
FACILITIES. REFINERIES AND OTHER
MAJOR EMITTERS THAT MUST BE HELD
MORE ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY
POLLUTE THE AIR THE CONSEQUENCES
FOR AIR BY AIR QUALITY
VIOLATIONS MUST BE. SEVERE
ENOUGH TO DETER. A DID A
DISCHARGE BEFORE IT OCCURS SO
THESE EMITTERS DON'T SIMPLY
TREAT FINES FOR CAUSE. FOR
CAUSING COMMUNITIES OPTIONS AS
AN ACCEPTABLE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS. WITH ME HERE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
IS ALLEN ABS ON BEHALF OF OUR
SPONSOR THE BAY AREA. AIR
QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. AND
MY YELLOW. RICH SHOW ON BEHALF
OF THE AMERICAN LUNG
ASSOCIATION- AND ALSO SAY WERE
STILL AND- ONGOING CONVERSATIONS
WITH RESPECT- WE'VE TAKEN. A
PRETTY LARGE AMENDMENT- FOR THEM
TO INCLUDE ALL TITLE FIVE-
FACILITIES NOT JUST REFINERIES.
BUT OUR AND CONTINUE
NEGOTIATIONS ON SOME ADDITIONAL-
COMPONENTS OF THE BILL AND HAVE
MEETINGS SAID. I THINK TODAY OR
TOMORROW FOR THOSE CONTINUED
CONVERSATION SO THEY'RE STILL
CONVERSATIONS TO BE HAD AND WITH
THE OPPOSITION. AND WITH THAT-
THERE'S MY WHEN MY PRIMARY
WITNESSES. I PERMITS HEY GOOD
MORNING CHAIR ALLEN AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE I'M ALLEN ABS
REPRESENTING THE BAY AREA AIR
QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND
SPONSOR BABY FOURTEEN SIXTY
FIVE. BEFORE I GET TOO FAR WANT
TO THANK. THE THE STAFF FOR IT
THE- EXCELLENT ANALYSIS IS
ALWAYS OF THE BILL. PEOPLE THAT
LIVE NEXT TO A LARGE SOURCES OF
AIR POLLUTION SUCH AS REFINERIES
EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE HIGHEST
CUMULATIVE HEALTH BURDENS IN
CALIFORNIA. EVEN IN
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THEY ARE
OPERATING WITHIN ALL THEIR
PERMIT CONDITIONS. UNFORTUNATELY
AND AS AN EXAMPLE. REFINERIES
DON'T ALWAYS OPERATE WITHIN
THEIR PERMIT CONDITIONS IN AB
FOURTEEN SIXTY FIVE PROVIDES AN
APPROPRIATE REMEDY TO TRY TO
REFOCUS REFINERIES ANOTHER LARGE
SOURCES. ON OPERATING WITHIN
EXISTING AIR QUALITY LAW IN
BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR IN THE
COMMUNITY. FOR THE PAST FIVE
YEARS WE'VE SEEN A TREND OF
INCREASING. REFINERY VIOLATIONS
IN THE BAY AREA IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE THE A. Q. M. D. ISSUED OVER
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY NOTICES OF
VIOLATION. AND FOR TWENTY TWENTY
TO THAT TOTAL EXCEEDED THREE
HUNDRED. THIS INCLUDES FLARING
EVENTS WHICH HAVE TOTALED UP TO
SEVENTY INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS IN
RECENT YEARS. IN A THANKSGIVING
NIGHT INCIDENT LAST YEAR THAT
SPREAD OVER TWENTY FOUR TONS OF
HEAVY MATE METAL LADEN DUST OVER
CARS HOMES YARDS STREETS- AND-
THE OTHER PARTS OF. THE CITY OF
MARTINEZ. THE COMPANY REASSURED
RESIDENTS THAT THE DUST DUST WAS
NON TOXIC. AND NON HAZARDOUS.
RATHER THAN TELLING THE TRUTH
THAT THIS CATTLE CONTAINED HEAVY
METALS AND THAT PEOPLE SHOULDN'T
BE BREATHING IT. AS THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY IS
IN MANY CASES A LARGE SINGLE DAY
EVENTS ARE LIKELY TO BE SETTLED
UNDER STRICT LIABILITY
PROVISIONS. IN THE PENALTY
SEALING FOR THESE EVENTS WAS TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE YEAR TWO
THOUSAND- AS A RESULT THE BEST
BE EIGHTEEN SIXTY FIVE FROM
SENATOR PRODUCT. AND ONLY
RECENTLY HAS RISEN WITHIN FOR
INFLATION BEGINNING IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. AB FOURTEEN SIXTY FIVE
RACES THE PENALTY SEALING FOR A
LARGE FACILITY VIOLATIONS.
INCLUDING THE STRICT LIABILITY
PROVISION BUT ALSO PROVIDES THE
ABILITY TO MINIMIZE PENALTIES
FOR VIOLATIONS THAT DON'T RESULT
IN LARGE EMISSION RELEASES. I'D
LIKE TO THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WICKS FOR HER LEADERSHIP IN
AUTHORING AB FOURTEEN SIXTY FIVE
WHICH TAKES A SMALL STEP TOWARDS
BETTER ALIGNING PENALTIES FOR
LARGE FACILITIES VIOLATING
PERMIT CONDITIONS AND
ENDANGERING PUBLIC HEALTH. WELL
THE SMALL INCREASES DON'T FULLY
RECOGNIZE THE IMPACTS IN THESE
COMMUNITIES WE HOPE IT BEGINS TO
DISCOURAGE THINKING ABOUT THESE
EVENTS AS A MINOR COST OF DOING
BUSINESS. THANK YOU FOR
CONSIDERING THE BILL I'M HERE TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
