THAT WE NEED TO MEET OUR CLIMATE

THE CONDITIONS OF OUR STATEWIDE
INFRASTRUCTURE I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE ON SB ONE
FORTY SIX. THANK SENATOR.
SENATOR FROM BAKERSFIELD CENTER
HER DAUGHTER. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES TODAY I
RISE TO EXPRESS MY SUPPORT FOR
THE INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE
INCLUDING SB ONE FOUR SIX- BUT
I'M RISING IN SUPPORT OF IT WITH
SOME CONCERNS. THIS PACKAGE-
REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NO
BRAINER FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE
BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR WATER.
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS- FROM
THE MOMENT I ARRIVED HERE IN THE
STATE SENATE. MY FIRST YEAR IN
THE SENATE I SPONSORED SENATE
BILL FIVE FIVE NINE. A BILL THAT
WOULD HELP ON SUBSIDENCE REPAIRS
ON A CONTAINS PROJECTS INCLUDING
THE STATE WATER PROJECT- AND
THAT. EFFORT AS IT BECOMES IF WE
TRIED IT. OF IT. WE WERE LUCKY
AND GOT SOME FUNDING FOR IT BUT
NEVER GOT SIGNED- AND THEN MY
SECOND YEAR IN THE SENATE I
SPONSORED SENATE BILL NINE SEVEN
FOUR WHICH EXEMPTED SMALL
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES FROM
CERTAIN SEQUEL REQUIREMENTS FOR
SMALL WATER PROJECTS. AND THEN
THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED I ALSO
HAD THE HONOR OF BEING INVITED
TO THE SIGNING OF THE FEDERAL
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL AND THE
CELEBRATION OF THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT AT THE WHITE
HOUSE. SO WANTED TO- REALLY.
EMPHASIZE MY SUPPORT FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND-
BUT ALSO EMPHASIZE MY CONCERNS.
I WANTED TO EXPLAIN MY CONCERNS
AND HOPE THAT THERE WILL BE SOME
OVERSIGHT AND ACCOUNTABILITY
THAT FOLLOWS. BECAUSE AND I WANT
TO GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF
BACKGROUND BACK IN. BEFORE
TWENTY TWENTY. YOU KNOW WATER
WAS SELLING TO SOME COMMUNITIES
FOR ABOUT TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS AN
ACRE FOOT. THEN WHEN THE
CALIFORNIA. WATER FUTURES WAS
LAUNCHED ON THE MARKET IN TWENTY
TWENTY SOME OF THOSE.
COMMUNITIES WERE NOW HAVING TO
PAY OVER A 1000% INCREASE IN THE
WATER. WHICH SOME COMMITTEES
WERE NOT HAVING TO PAY ABOUT ONE
THOUSAND DOLLARS AN ACRE FEET
OF. WATER SO YOU DON'T REALLY
YOU KNOW HOW TO TAKE MY WORD FOR
IT. REALLY ASK THE CITY OF
KALINGA THE CITY OF CALLING AS
AN EXAMPLE. OF THAT SIGNIFICANT
INCREASE BEFORE TWENTY TWENTY
AND AFTER TWENTY TWENTY. NOW I
KNOW THAT GOD HAS BLESSED US
THIS YEAR WITH AN ABUNDANT
AMOUNT OF WATER IN THE
CONVERSATION OF WATER. AND WATER
STORAGE IS A YOU KNOW HOT NEW
COMMODITY IN THE CONVERSATION
WITH YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL TRYING
TO GET BEHIND. AND I'M ALL FOR
WATER STORAGE BUT I HAVE TO
ADMIT I'M NOT REALLY. FOR WATER
AS A COMMODITY. R. S. B. ONE
FOUR SIX AUTHORIZES THE
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES TO
USE PROGRESSIVE DESIGN BUILD FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION OF UP TO EIGHT.
PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS THAT ARE.
EACH OVER THE AMOUNT OF TWENTY
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. SO. AND MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT PROJECTS
ARE FUNDED BASED ON THE PROJECT
AND HOW MUCH PUBLIC BENEFIT. THE
PROJECT WILL HAVE IF IT COMES TO
PROP ONE. SO MY QUESTION IS WILL
PROP ONE FUNDS BE USED TO FUND
THESE PROJECTS. AND THE OTHER
QUESTION I HAVE IS. WELL THESE
PROJECTS BEFORE THE WATER
COMMISSION WHICH ARE ABOUT SEVEN
OF THEM- ARE THEY GOING TO BE
FULLY COVERED A 100% OR IS IT
WOULD BE 40% AND IF IT'S JUST
GOING TO BE. LESS THAN THE FULL
AMOUNT THEN WHO WILL MAKE UP THE
DIFFERENCE. WILL BE WATER USERS
WILL IT BE INVESTORS WILL BE THE
CONTRACTORS AND WHO WILL IT BE.
NOW THE WATER STORAGE INVESTMENT
PROGRAM. UNDER PROP ONE THAT'S-
LESS SEVEN PROJECTS. IS EXPECTED
TO BOOST STATE WATER STORAGE
CAPACITY BY TWO POINT SEVEN
MILLION ACRE FEET. AND I HAVE TO
ADMIT LIKE A- IT'S REALLY HARD
TO NOT GET BEHIND THAT I SUPPORT
THAT WHOLEHEARTEDLY. BUT AGAIN.
WHO WILL PAY FOR WHAT IS LEFT ON
THE COST TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT
WILL IT BE WALL STREET WILL
THESE INVESTMENTS LEAD TO THE
CREATION OF A GROUNDWATER
FUTURES MARKET. WELL THESE
INVESTMENTS BUILD AN ECONOMY
FROM THE BOTTOM. UP AND MIDDLE
OUT WELL THESE INVESTMENTS.
POSSIBLY CREATE ANTI TRUST
ISSUES. WILL FARMERS BE PUSHED
OUT OF FARMING WELL THESE
INVESTMENTS IMPACT THE SPOT
PRICE OF THE CALIFORNIA WATER
FUTURES INDEX. THESE ARE ALL
QUESTIONS THAT I BELIEVE NEED TO
BE ANSWERED. BUT PERHAPS I AM I
AM WRONG ABOUT MY CONCERNS. SO I
AM LEFT TO MAKE A DECISION BASED
ON THE LANGUAGE OF FRONT OF ME
BILL LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF ME
INCLUDES CONCEPTS. AGAIN I HAVE
SUPPORTED IN THE PAST. THE
COLLEAGUES I HOPE THAT I'M WRONG
ALL MY ASSUMPTIONS AND- CONCERNS
I HAVE REGARDING- THE
INFRASTRUCTURE INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE BUT I BELIEVE IN THIS
INSTITUTION. I BELIEVE IN MY
COLLEAGUES I THANK ALL MY
COLLEAGUES AT WORK ON THIS WORK
GROUP THAT MADE THESE BILLS MUCH
BETTER. AND I KNOW AND TRUST AND
BELIEVE THAT ALL THE MEMBERS IN
THIS CHAMBER WILL- AT SUPPORT
SUPPORT OVERSIGHT TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND FOR THESE
REASONS I WILL SUPPORT ALL THE
MEASURES BEFORE ME THANK YOU.
THANK YOU CENTER HER TADO ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS
MATTER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
C. NINE CENTER GONZALEZ YOU MAY
CLOSE. YES I WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU TO MY- CALLING FROM THE
CENTRAL VALLEY I KNOW SHE BRINGS
UP VERY- YOU KNOW THOUGHT OUT
CONCERNS I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND
THIS. FOR PROGRESSIVE DESIGN
BUILD I JUST WANT TO GIVE THE
ASSURANCE THAT THIS ACTUALLY
PROVIDES AN ADDITIONAL SURPRISE
SURE ANSWERS EIGHT PROJECTS WILL
BE SELECTED JUST YET. BUT IT
DOES PROVIDE ASSURANCE AND THAT
THERE WILL BE A COLLABORATIVE
APPROACH IN THE BEGINNING.
526275% OF THE WAY- THERE WILL
BE ANOTHER CHECK IN BY THIS
GROUP- THE DESIGNERS THE
BUILDERS. AND THEN HOPEFULLY
ALONG THE WAY THEY'LL BE
MAXIMUM- COSTS THAT YOU KNOW WE
CAN'T GO OVER AS A STATE TO BE
ABLE TO ENSURE THAT. MOST OF
THOSE DOLLARS ALL THE DOLLARS
THAT WE'RE INVESTING GO BACK
INTO- THIS PROCESS AND ENSURE
THAT WE ARE DOING IT THE RIGHT
WAY BY- ARE. CALIFORNIA

WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR

MEMBERS THIS IS SB ONE FORTY

PLEASE READ. SENATE BILL ONE
FORTY SEVEN BY CENTER ASHBY INEC
WILLING TO FULLY PROTECTED
SPECIES AND CLARITY URGENCY
THERE OF TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY CENTER ASHLEY. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK
ON SB ONE FOUR SEVEN AND FOR
GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENTED HERE TODAY SB ONE FOUR
SEVEN ESTABLISHES A ROBUST
PERMITTING PROCESS FOR SPECIFIC
TYPES OF PROJECTS. UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA ENDANGERED SPECIES
ACT SEASIDE AND PROTECTS
ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION EFFORTS
THIS BILL AUTHORIZES UNTIL
JANUARY FIRST TWO THOUSAND AND
THIRTY FOUR THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE TO ISSUE A
PERMIT UNDER C. SAYS. THAT WOULD
AUTHORIZE THE TAKE OF A FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES RESULTING FROM
IMPACTS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF VERY SPECIFIC
PROJECTS ONLY IF CERTAIN
CONDITIONS ARE SATISFIED UNDER
EXISTING LAW CC ALLOWS THE
DEPARTMENT TO PERMIT PROJECTS
PURSUANT TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS
TO AVOID MINIMIZE AND MITIGATE
THE TAKE UP AND IMPACTS TO
SPECIES. HOWEVER THE FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES STATUTES THAT
PROHIBIT THE INCIDENTAL TAKE OF
ANY LEGISLATIVELY DESIGNATED
FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES AN
EXISTING LAW DOES NOT FACILITATE
THE PERMITTING OF THOSE
PROJECTS. OVER THE LAST DECADE
THE LEGISLATURE HAS AMENDED
SEASIDE TO CARVE OUT SPECIFIC
PROJECTS FROM THE FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES LIST BY
AUTHORIZING THE PERMIT THE
DEPARTMENT TO PERMIT TAKE. SB
ONE FOUR SEVEN WOULD ALLOW TAKE
A FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES AND
PERMITTING BY THE DEPARTMENT FOR
CRITICAL SPECIFIC INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS. THE TYPES OF
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS INCLUDED
IN THIS BILL ARE STATE AND LOCAL
WATER PROJECTS BUT IT DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE DELTA TUNNELS NOR
DOES IT INCLUDE OCEAN
DESALINATION PROJECT. IT DOES
INCLUDE TRANSPORTATION WIND AND
SOLAR PROJECTS BUT ONLY AS
DEFINED IN THE BILL. THIS
APPROACH IS MODELED AFTER PRIOR
LEGISLATIVE BILLS THAT HAVE
ALREADY BEEN ENACTED FIRST HE
SEES FOR CPAS PROJECTS. WELL THE
BILL ALLOWS THE DEPARTMENT TO
ISSUE PERMITS IT ALSO REQUIRES
SPECIFIED MITIGATION BE
UNDERTAKEN AS PART OF THE PERMIT
APPROVAL. AND LASTLY SB ONE FOUR
SEVEN REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT TO
DEVELOP TWO THINGS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THIS SPELL
FIRST THEY MUST DEVELOP A PLAN
BY JULY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR. TO ASSESS THE POPULATION
STATUS OF EACH FULLY PROTECTED
SPECIES AND SECOND STARTING JULY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY FIVE THEY
MUST ANNUALLY PREPARE AND SUBMIT
A REPORT TO THIS LEGISLATURE.
REGARDING SPECIFIC INFORMATION
RELATING TO EACH INDIVIDUAL
PERMIT TO TAKE A FULLY PROTECTED
SPECIES UNDER THE SPELL. SB ONE
FOUR SEVEN RECONCILES EXISTING
CEASES STATUTES WITH A MODERN
APPROACH TO PROJECT PERMITTING
WHILE ALSO ENSURING THE
CONSERVATION AND MITIGATION
EFFORTS ARE STILL IN PLACE
COLLEAGUES I ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU CENTER ASHLEY
WILL BEGIN WITH THIS QUESTION- I
SEE MICROPHONES UP AND CENTER
DALIAN SENATOR MAN CENTER DOLLY
THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT MEMBERS I RISE IN
OPPOSITION AND IT'S BECAUSE- AS
I SAID MAYBE ELEVEN YEARS I'M
LOOKING FOR A TRUE
ENVIRONMENTALISTS. ONE THAT
ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE SPECIES
. I DO. NOT ONE THAT CAN GET
MITIGATED IF THE LABOR
AGREEMENTS ARE THERE AND THE AND
THE LOBBYIST- THERE FOR SOLAR
AND WIND. IN CALIFORNIA. WE TURN
A BLIND EYE TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
NOT ME MANY OF OUR RELATIVES
WHERE ARE THE OPPOSING THIS WE
ARE TAKING PROTECTED SPECIES.
AND ONLY FOR A FEW PROJECTS
THOUGH. WE'RE WE'RE EXCLUDING D.
SALINIZATION WHICH IS SOMETHING
WOULD WOULD CREATE WATER. WE
WERE USING FOR WATER OR NOT USE
IT FOR WATER STORAGE PROJECTS.
RESERVE FOR WIND AND SOLAR.
DEPARTMENTAL COMMITTEE ON TO BE
A SHAME TO THEIR CELL. WE'RE NOT
STEPPING UP AGAINST THIS KIND OF
ABUSE OF ARE. PROTECTED SPECIES
THAT. LAST WEEK IN EQ WE HEARD
ABOUT NAKED NOISE. FOR ROBBINS.
AND WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA
REGULATE THE SEED PRODUCERS. BUT
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE NGUYEN
PRODUCERS AND SOLAR PRODUCERS AS
PASSED TO KILL BALD EAGLES. A
TAKINGS. THIS IS THE WRONG
APPROACH MEMBERS I WANT TO
SUPPORT THIS KIND OF LEGISLATION
BUT I CAN'T SUPPORT IT WHEN IT
DOESN'T LOOK AT ALL DIFFERENT
FORMS OF YOUR GENERATION ALL
DIFFERENT FORMS OF STORAGE IT
JUST PICKS WINNERS AND LOSERS.
AND THE WINNERS ARE THE LABOR
UNIONS WHO HAVE BACKED THIS. THE
PEOPLE WHO DONATE TO CAMPAIGNS.
THAT'S WHO'S WINNING THE
ENVIRONMENT IS LOSING AND FOR
THOSE REASONS I CAN'T SUPPORT SB
ONE FORTY SEVEN. AND I HOPE THAT
WE FIND SOME TRUE
ENVIRONMENTALIST ON THIS FLOOR
AND IS IN THIS LEGISLATURE SOON
BEFORE WE CONTINUE TO JUST
DESTROY SPECIES WITHOUT TAKING
INTO ACCOUNT. THE FULL PICTURE.
WELL NEXT RECOGNIZE THE SENATOR
FROM IRVINE CENTER VENT I THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT I RISE AS
SOMEONE WHO CONSIDERS MYSELF A
TRAINED BY MENTALIST- AND I JUST
WANT TO THANK THE STAFF- AND THE
OTHER MEMBERS THE WORKING GROUP
FOR THEIR INCREDIBLE WORK ON.
NOT JUST SB ONE FORTY SEVEN BUT
ALL OF THE BUDGET TRAILER BILLS-
THE COMMITTEE ON NATURAL
RESOURCES AND WATER WHICH I
CHAIR HELD A ROBUST
INFORMATIONAL HEARING BACK IN
EARLY JUNE. ON THIS PARTICULAR
ITEM AS WELL AS NINE OTHERS- AND
I THINK THAT AT THE END OF THE
DAY MUCH OF THIS WAS ABOUT
FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE
BETWEEN OUR NEED TO. QUICKLY
DEPLOY CLEAN ENERGY PROJECTS AND
INFRASTRUCTURE AYE WELL
BALANCING THAT AGAINST
LEGITIMATE CONCERNS HERE THE
CONCERNS OF BIODIVERSITY
WILDLIFE. ENDANGERED SPECIES AND
SO FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS-
CALIFORNIA STATE LAW HAS
RECOGNIZED A THIRTY SEVEN
SPECIES. OF WILDLIFE ARE FULLY
PROTECTED THAT THEY MERIT
ENHANCED PROTECTION FROM TAKE. I
KNOW THE ORIGINAL OF
ADMINISTRATION'S ORIGINAL
PROPOSAL I THINK WENT TOO FAR IN
ONE DIRECTION IN THE DIRECTION
OF TRYING TO QUICKLY DEPLOY
INFRASTRUCTURE AND CLEAN ENERGY-
AND PERHAPS THAT BOUNCES OFF I
THINK. IN A LOT OF HARD WORK I
WANT TO THANK IN PARTICULAR THE
BUDGET STAFF AND MY STAFF ON THE
NATURAL RESOURCES- CAN AND WATER
COMMITTEE. OFFER MANY MANY LONG
HOURS OF WORK ON THIS PARTICULAR
BILL- BUT THIS. ENDED UP IN A
GOOD COMPROMISE IN MY VIEW THIS
BILL TAKES A SIMILAR APPROACH.
THE PREVIOUS LEGISLATION THAT
THIS BODY HAS PASSED LEAVING THE
FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES STATUTE
INTACT AND THAT'S IMPORTANT. BUT
WHILE PROVIDING SOME
AUTHORIZATION FOR THE TAKE OF
THE SPECIES TO FACILITATE
IMPORTANT WATER CLEAN ENERGY AND
OTHER IMPORTANT PROJECTS- THIS
PRICE TO FINANCE THEIR BALANCE
AND I THINK SUCCESSFULLY DOES SO
BETWEEN THE NEED TO ACCELERATE.
OUR TRANSITION TO DECARBONIZE
THE ECONOMY WHICH IS SO
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. BECAUSE IF
WE DON'T DECARBONISE OUR OUR
ECONOMY IF WE DON'T GET TO ZERO
EMISSIONS WERE END UP WITH A LOT
MORE EXTINCTION WE'RE
CELEBRATING THAT CRISIS WITH THE
WARMING TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW-
BUT ALSO TRYING TO BALANCE THAT
WITH OUR LONG STANDING
COMMITMENT. TO SPECIES
PROTECTION SO I'M SUPER THIS
BILL I THINK THE FOR BRING
FORWARD. AND RESPECTFULLY ASK
RIVAL. THE CENTER MEN WILL NEXT
TURN TO SEE GROW FROM BAKER.
CENTER GROW. THANK MR PRESIDENT
I TO RISE IN OPPOSITION AND I DO
WANT TO THANK MY GOOD COLLEAGUE
THE SENATE. PRO TEM WHO ALLOWED
ME TO. AT LEAST THE HONOR OF
PARTICIPATING ON THIS- COMMITTEE
THIS HEARING THIS IS A-
LEGISLATIVE HEARING PROCESS THAT
WE HAD WHICH WAS JUST AN
INFORMATIONAL PROCESS HEARING.
AND BUT MY COLLEAGUE IN MY GOOD
FRIEND KNOWS ME WELL ENOUGH THAT
SOMETIMES I JUST CAN'T TOLERATE
STUPIDITY. AT ALL IN ANY LEVEL.
N. M. I'M CALLING IT STUPIDITY
BECAUSE THE BOTTOM LINE IS I
WOULD HATE TO THINK THAT ANY OF
MY COLLEAGUES WERE DOING THIS ON
PURPOSE. THERE ARE FIVE HUNDRED
GOLDEN EAGLES OR EAGLES BALD
EAGLES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AND ON SWIFT DECLINE
SO SAYS. AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT NOW THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE SAYS THERE ARE
A FEW MORE. THAN THAT. OVER A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY HAVE BEEN
TAKEN BY WIND TURBINES THE WIND
TURBINES ARE KILLING THE NASS-
THE NATURAL. PROGRESSION OF
ADULT. EAGLES IN THEIR FLIGHT
PATH AND THEY'RE ALSO KILLING
THOSE IN IN THOSE THAT LOSE
THEIR LIVES CAN'T GO BACK AND
REYES THE YOUNG IN THEIR NEXT.
SO THIS BILL. AND THE GENTLEMAN
THAT THAT SPOKE AT THE HEARING
BLESS HIS HEART I FELT SO BAD
FOR HIM BECAUSE I FELT LIKE HE
WAS FOR STEP THERE. IS WHEN HE
WAS GIVING US THE INFORMATION.
YOU COULD TELL THAT HE WAS
REALLY STRUGGLING WITH THE FACT
THAT HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO ISSUE
PERMITS FOR WIND AND SOLAR
COMPANIES MOSTLY WHEN COMPANIES.
TO BE ABLE TO USE A TAKING FOR
MEDICATION. PURPOSES IN
REIMBURSEMENT. SO ALL OF YOU
GUYS KNOW WHAT THIS IS BUT I'M
CAN TALK TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC
SO NOW THEY'RE GOING TO REMOVE
THE BALD EAGLE. THE GOLDEN EAGLE
AND SEVERAL OTHER- FALLOW IN
OTHER ANIMALS OFF OF THIS FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES LIST. AND
THEY'RE GONNA SAY. WE'RE GONNA
GIVE YOU A TAKE PERMIT MEANING
YOU CAN TAKE THAT EAGLE SLICE IF
YOU BUILD A WIND TURBINE AND IT.
THE EAGLE FLIES INTO THE WIND
TURBINE YOU CAN TAKE THAT EAGLES
LIFE AS LONG AS YOU MITIGATE.
MEANING PAY A CERTAIN DOLLAR
AMOUNT. SO ONCE YOU PAY THAT
MONEY THE COMPANY PAYS THE MONEY
TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THEY
WILL BE LEGALLY AUTHORIZED TO
KILL THESE AN EAGLES. THAT ARE
THIS IRONIC WE'RE HAVING THIS
DEBATE NOW WITH THE FOURTH OF
JULY YESTERDAY AND- THIS IS OUR
NAME YOU DON'T NATION'S MODEL OF
FREEDOM. AND LIKE TO MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BEAVER SAYS YOU
KNOW WHERE THE ENVIRONMENTAL
GROUPS AND WHERE MY COLLEAGUES
ON THE FLOOR THAT ARE
ENVIRONMENTAL- REPRESENTATIVES-
I BY NO MEANS I ZERO VOTING
RECORD WITH ALL THESE
ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS BUT IT
REALLY DOES DISTURB ME WITH THE
FACT THAT. WE'RE GOING TO
ACTUALLY TAKE ALL OF THE SPECIES
LISTED ON THIS ANALYSIS OFF OF
THE- FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES
LIST. SO THAT A COMPANY TO
FURTHER THE GREEN IDEOLOGY THAT
COMES OUT OF THIS BUILDING AND
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAN
INSTALL WIND FARMS. AND ALLOW
THEM TO KILL THE BALD OR GOLDEN
EAGLE ALONG WITH ALL THESE OTHER
SPECIES. IT'S PRETTY IRONIC
THAT- YOU KNOW I DID ANOTHER
GOOGLE SEARCH AND ACTUALLY
CHECKED WITH A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
THE ENVIRONMENTAL INDUSTRY AND
ACTUALLY ENERGY INDUSTRY. IN THE
OIL COMPANIES HAVEN'T KILLED ANY
BALD EAGLES- THAT THEY CAN FIND
ANYWHERE- OIL AGAIN IS A KEY.
RELY IN- GUYS ARE ON A IDEA FOR
WITH GREEN ENERGY WE YOU THINK
OF. WORK COME FROM THE DEMO.
REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO WHERE THEY
USE SLAVE LABOR AND CHILD LABOR.
TO PRODUCE THIS CALL VOTE NEEDED
FOR ELECTRIC BATTERIES. AND YOU
JUST TURN A BLIND GUY. AND THEN
NOW YOU'RE LYING WHEN COMPANIES
AND SEE WHAT AND EVERYTHING TO
BE CIRCUMVENTED SO THAT THESE
NGUYEN COMPANIES CAN DO WHATEVER
THEY WANT TO DO AS LONG AS THEY
PAY FOR IT. BUT THEY'RE
TECHNICALLY NOT PAYING FOR IT
INCLUDING THE FIFTY PLUS MILLION
DOLLAR LAWSUIT THAT ONE COMPANY
JUST WENT INTO ACCORDING TO THE
ASSOCIATED PRESS. ON AN ARTICLE
DATED. MAY SEVENTEENTH TWENTY
TWENTY THREE PERMISSION TO READ.
MISTER PRESIDENT. WITHOUT
OBJECTION. SEVEN ARTICLE IT SAYS
IT COMES AMID GROWING CONCERN
THAT PROLIFERATION OF WIND
TURBINES TO FEED THE GROWING
DEMAND FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY IS
JEOPARDIZING THE GOLDEN EAGLE
POPULATIONS. ALREADY BELIEVED TO
BE DECLINED IN MOST AREAS OF
CALIFORNIA. YOU'RE GOING TO
ALLOW THESE NGUYEN COMPANIES TO
TEST. FILE FOR A PERMIT TO TAKE
THE LIFE OF THE EAGLE AS LONG AS
THEY PAY A PRICE. BUT WHERE I
WAS AT BEFORE I GOT INTO THE
READING PART I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE
WIND ENERGY COMPANIES ARE GOING
TO PAY THAT BECAUSE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA FUNDS INTO THE
GENERAL FUND THESE ABOVE MARKET
RATE. ACCOUNTS THAT THE WIND
ENERGY'S IN THE SOLAR COMPANIES
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PROVIDE
RENEWABLE ENERGY AT AN ADEQUATE
PRICE FOR OUR RETAILERS. THEY
ACCESS THESE RESOURCES WHICH ARE
TAXPAYER DOLLARS. THIS IS A
VICIOUS VICIOUS CIRCLE. AND I
CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE
ALREADY MADE A DEAL AND YOU'RE
GOING TO VOTE ON THIS BILL THAT
IS GOING TO ALLOW. THESE
ENDANGERED ENDANGERED SPECIES
LIKE THE BALD EAGLE THE GOLDEN
EAGLE THE GOLDEN EAGLE OF
CALIFORNIAN THE BALD SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA BALD EAGLE YOU'RE
GOING TO ALLOW A COMPANY TO JUST
PAY THEIR I DON'T KNOW FIFTY
GRAND. AND THEN THEY CAN KILL
THEM WHEN THERE'S LESS THAN FIVE
HUNDRED OF THEM LEFT IN THE
STATE. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO
VOTE AND IT'S REALLY IRONIC THAT
BEING ONE OF THE MOST OR THE
MOST CONSERVATIVE LEGISLATOR ON
THIS FLOOR. 101% OIL. YOU KNOW
WE HAVE RENEWABLE 50% THE
STATE'S RENEWABLE ENERGY IN MY
DISTRICT. AND I'M STANDING UP
DEFENDING STUFF THAT MY
COLLEAGUES SAY THE DEFENDING
CARE ABOUT ON A CONTINUOUS
BASIS. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO
VOTE THANK YOU SENATOR WILL NEXT
TURN TO THE- SENATOR FROM
BERKELEY CENTER SKINNER. I THANK
YOU EARNED MISTER PRESIDENT
MEMBERS SAY. HAD TO RESPOND A
BIT FROM OUR COLLEAGUE FROM-
BAKERSFIELD- HAVING SPENT MANY
MANY HOURS. VETTING THIS BILL.
MEETING WITH STAKEHOLDERS-
MEETING WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN
THE ASSEMBLY WITH SENATORS WITH
STAKEHOLDERS AND OTHERS. I JUST
WANT TO PUT ON THE RECORD A FEW
CORRECTIONS- WHAT THIS BILL
DOES. IS A LINES. OUR FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES LISTS WITH OUR
ENDANGERED SPECIES SO THAT WERE
DEALING WITH THOSE OF THE
PROVISIONS OF. IN ALIGNMENT IN
EFFECT RATHER THAN- TRYING TO
HAVE TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO. AND
ADDITIONALLY WHILE YES IT DOES
ALLOW FOR THE TAKING IF IT CAN
BE FULLY MITIGATED. IF IT CANNOT
BE FULLY MEDICATED THEN THE
TAKING WOULD NOT OCCUR SO IT WAS
PRESENTED BY OUR COLLEAGUE AS A
FEATURE COMPLETE. THAT
ABSOLUTELY THE SPECIES WOULD BE
TAKEN IF THIS. CLEAN ENERGY
PROJECT- WE'RE TO PREPAY PROCEED
BUT THAT IS NOT THE LANGUAGE OF
THE BILL- AND I JUST WANTED. TO
CLARIFY AND PUT THAT ON THE
RECORD. I YOU CENTER AND FURTHER
CUT. RECOGNIZE AGAIN THE SENATOR
FROM BAKERSFIELD CENTER GROVE
THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT QUESTION
THE AUTHOR. THE OTHER TICKET
QUESTION HE SAYS YES. IN
REBUTTAL TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
BERKLEY'S COMMENTS- DOES THIS
BILL REMOVES CERTAIN SPECIES
INCLUDING THE GOLDEN EAGLE AND
THE BALL SOUTHERN BALD EAGLE.
AWAY FROM THE FULLY PROTECTED
AND ALIGN IT WITH ENDANGERED
SPECIES WHICH IS LESS THAN FULLY
PROTECTED. INTERNATIONALLY THERE
ARE THREE SPECIES REMOVED AS A
RESULT OF THIS BILL NONE OF THEM
ARE THE SPECIES THAT YOU HAVE
IDENTIFIED BUT I'M HAPPY TO TELL
YOU WHAT THEY ARE AND WHY. THEY
HAVE BEEN REMOVED THE FIRST IS
THE PEREGRINE FALCON THE SECOND
IS THE BROWN PELICAN BOTH OF
THOSE TWO ARE REMOVED BECAUSE
THEY ARE NO LONGER ENDANGERED
SPECIES. BECAUSE SB ONE FOUR
SEVEN DID ITS JOB AND THOSE
SPECIES ARE NOW NO LONGER
CONSIDERED TO BE ENDANGERED. THE
THIRD UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS
REMOVED IS A THICK TAIL CHUBB
WHICH WAS PLACED ON THE LIST IN
SB ONE FOUR SEVEN UNFORTUNATELY
TOO LATE AND IS NOW. EXTINCT
THANK YOU CENTER ASHLEY CENTER
GROVE THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS
OF MY OWN TIME THE FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES THE LIST DOES
INCLUDE THE BALD EAGLE THE
SOUTHERN BALD EAGLE AND THE
GOLDEN EAGLE THERE ARE LESS THAN
FIVE HUNDRED OF THEM. IN THE
ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHEN
RECENTLY A WIND TURBINE COMPANY
KILLED OVER A HUNDRED OF THEM SO
WE WOULD HAVE HAD A PLUS ONE
HUNDRED BOULDER GOLDEN EAGLES
BUT OVER ONE HUNDRED OF THEM
WERE ALREADY KILLED. BY WIND
TURBINES WHICH COST THAT WINTER
BY COMPANY I BELIEVE ROUGHLY
ABOUT FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS AND
EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS. ON SOME
OTHER TYPE OF P. AND ROUGHLY.
EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS THERE AND
CRIMINAL LIABILITY PROCEEDINGS
ARE GOING FORWARD SO- I THINK
THAT THE COMMENTS THAT YOU GAVE
ARE ARE INCORRECT I FULLY
RESPECT. ALL THE DILIGENCE THAT
YOU'VE DONE IN THIS BILL BUT TO
TAKE THESE SPECIES SPECIFICALLY
THE IN THE GOLDEN EAGLE AND THE
BALD EAGLE OFF THE PROTESTS ONLY
PROTECTED MEANING YOU CAN'T KILL
THEM AT ALL BECAUSE THERE ARE SO
FEW OF THEM. FULLY PROTECTED
LIST IS JUST NOT RIGHT AND FOR
YOU TO FURTHER THE PROJECT. AND
ONLY DO IT FOR WIND AND SOLAR
COMPANIES AND I KNOW YOU PUT A
LITTLE THING IN THERE ON WATER
BUT IT HAS TO BE A- THERE SO
MANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY'LL NEVER
GET A WATER INFRASTRUCTURE TAKE
PERMIT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE IT'LL BE VERY
VERY DIFFICULT. SO AGAIN I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY THIS BILL IS
BEING SUPPORTED. WHEN WE DO HAVE
AND IF YOU ASK THE EVERY DAY
CALIFORNIAN EVEN SOMEBODY THAT'S
IT. COMPLETELY CONSERVATIVE TO
THE REGULAR TREE HUGGER PERSON
THEY WOULD AGREE THAT THE BALD
EAGLE SHOULD BE PROTECTED. AND I
AGAIN RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO
VOTE MISTER PRESIDENT ROH
MISSION TO RESPOND. NOW JUST A
MOMENT PLEASE WE HAVE A SPEAKERS
LIST YOU'LL GET AN OPPORTUNITY
IN THE SHADOWS. CENTER MCGUIRE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH AT. MR PRESS
IN JUST. TO BE TO ADD IN AND-
TO. AT THE GOOD SENATOR FROM
SACRAMENTO- ON THIS REALLY
CRITICAL BILL. AND WHAT SHE HAS
BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON HIS CURRENT
LAW VERSUS- WHAT. IT HANDS MEANS
WILL BE ADVANCE I THINK IT'S
REALLY CLEAR. TO BE A CLEAR THE
AIR ON THIS ISSUE. SO RIGHT NOW
IN THE CURRENT LAW WITH FULLY
PROTECTED SPECIES. THE ONLY
THING THAT IS ALLOWED. IS FOR
TAKE. SO WHEN AN ANIMAL IS
KILLED. BIRD AND MAMMAL. IS
KILLED THEN AT PENALTY IS ISSUED
FOR THAT CORPORATION THAT
BUSINESS OR- GOVERNMENT THAT IS
ADVANCING THE PROJECT. THAT'S IT
. YOU CAN KILL WITHOUT
CONSEQUENCE. UNDER CENTER
ASHLEY'S LEADERSHIP. IN THE
LEADERSHIP OF THIS WORKING
GROUP. THIS LICENSE APPLICATIONS
NEW CONDITIONS IN FACT
ENHANCEMENTS ENHANCEMENTS. TO
THE FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES LAW.
THAT ALLOWS FOR PROTECTIONS
ADVANCED MEDICATIONS WHEN IT
COMES TO ENDANGERED SPECIES.
TECH SPECIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. SO NOW CORPORATIONS LOCAL
GOVERNMENT YOU NAME IT STATE
GOVERNMENT CAN ALL NO LONGER
SIMPLY. JUST KILL. AN ENDANGERED
SPECIE THEY HAVE TO BE A
RADIANCE OF PLANT. END IN THERE
HAS TO BE ADVANCE MITIGATIONS
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE THANK YOU SENATOR ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS
MATTER. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
C. NINE CENTER FROM SACRAMENTO
YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT PRESHEAF THE
OPPORTUNITY AND I ALSO
APPRECIATE THE ROBUST DIALOGUE
FROM MY VARIOUS COLLEAGUES HERE
ON THE SENATE FLOOR TODAY. LIKE
SB ONE FOUR SEVEN DRAWS AN
APPROPRIATE BALANCE BETWEEN A
MULTI FACETED APPROACH TO MANY
OF CALIFORNIA'S GOALS AND IF THE
TRUTH BE TOLD HERE ON THIS RED
CARPET TODAY HERE IT IS- YOU
KNOW THE FULLY PROTECTED SPECIES
BILL. ACTUALLY PROVIDES MORE
PROTECTION OF SPECIES LIKE
EAGLES NOT LESS UNDER CURRENT
LAW FULLY PROTECTED PROTECTIONS
DO NOT ALLOW IT TAKE OF SPECIES
SO WHEN THEY'RE KILLED. AS A-
THE MAJORITY LEADER STATED THE
ONLY THING THAT HAPPENS IS A
VIOLATION MEANING A FINE YOU
CAN'T SAVE THE SPECIES AFTER
THEY'RE GONE. THIS PROPOSAL
HOWEVER ESTABLISHES IN LAW
CONDITIONS FOR PROTECTION. IN A
MANNER THAT WILL PROTECT AND
ENHANCE SPECIES NOT SIMPLY KILL
THEM AND THEN IMPOSE A FINE OR A
FEE LATER THAT'S A BETTER
OUTCOME FOR THOSE WHO ARE
CONSCIENTIOUS OF THEIR
ENVIRONMENT. I'VE SPENT THE LAST
TWELVE YEARS OF MY LIFE HELPING

THAT DISCUSSION AND DEBATE WITH
SENATOR SMALLWOOD CUEVAS. THANK
YOU MR PRESIDENT I AM THANK YOU
SO MUCH TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES FOR HER LEADERSHIP IN
THIS SPACE I AM A PROUD JOINT
AUTHOR OF SB ONE FIFTY THIS BILL
IS BEFORE US TODAY AS THE
PRODUCT OF A COLLABORATIVE
PROCESS OF SENATORS AND ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS STRIKE TEAMS AND WORK
GROUPS. DISCUSSION DISCUSSION
GROUPS RIGHT REALLY
INTERROGATING THE QUESTION ON
HOW INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS IN
THIS YEAR'S BUDGET CAN CREATE
POSITIVE IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES
MOST IN NEED. I WANT TO REMIND
FOLKS THAT COMING OUT OF CO BID
THERE WAS A REALLY A STUDY DONE
BY THE UCLA CENTER FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT FOR RACIAL EQUITY AT
WORK. THAT FOUND FOR EXAMPLE
THAT EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT. OF
BLACK FOLKS IN THE STATE HAD UP
TO APPLY FOR SOME SORT OF
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS 85% THAT'S
NEARLY. ALMOST EVERY BLACK
PERSON NEEDED SUPPORT BECAUSE
THEY HAD LOST THEIR JOBS AND AT
THE SAME TIME WE STILL STRUGGLE
WITH THE FACT THAT. YOU KNOW WE
ARE THE THIRD HIGHEST-
POPULATION IN POVERTY IN THE
NATION. SECOND BEHIND ARKANSAS
AND OUR COMMUNITIES ARE STILL
STRUGGLING AS AS THE GOOD
SENATOR SAID. OUR FAMILIES ARE
WORKING BUT THE ENDS ARE NOT
MEETING AND THIS PACKAGE OF
INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS THAT WE ARE
CONSIDERING TODAY HAS PRESENTED
ALL OF US WITH AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY. AND THERE ARE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW PROJECTS
THAT WE'VE HEARD OF BUILDING
ROADS. BRIDGES IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. AND TO DIFFERENT
DECREASE OUR RELIANCE ON FOSSIL
FUELS BUT WE ALSO HAVE THE
ENORMOUS OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE
EQUITABLE FAMILY SUSTAINING JOBS
AND CAREER PATHWAYS FOR OUR
STATE'S WORKING FAMILIES
ESPECIALLY THOSE DISADVANTAGED
AND LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR. AND WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE
THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
UNFORTUNATELY GROWING IN MY
DISTRICT AND IN YOURS. SO FAR
TOO LONG WE HAVE. BEEN NOT
CARELESS BUT WE HAVEN'T BEEN
INTENTIONAL WITH HOW WE ARE
USING OUR FUNDING FOR LARGE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS WITHOUT
CONSIDERATION FOR THE NUMEROUS
POLICY GOALS WE COULD BE
ADVANCING. BY BEING INTENTIONAL
AND THOUGHTFUL AND HOW ARE
PROJECTS ARE MANAGED IN WHO HAS
ACCESS TO THEM PROVIDING DIRECT
REAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES TO
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES
IMPROVING REPRESENTATION
PARTICULARLY IN SECTORS THAT
HAVE BEEN UNDER REPRESENTED.
WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR AND CREATING
CAREER PATHWAYS FOR THOSE THAT
ARE EXPERIENCING THAT ARE IN
DANGER OF HOMELESSNESS AND
COMPOUNDED POVERTY IMPACTS I
REPRESENTS SOUTH CENTRAL LOS
ANGELES I LIKE TO TELL THIS
STORY BECAUSE BOOKS FORGET HOW
MUCH OF AN INDUSTRIAL CORRIDOR
SOUTH CENTRAL. WAS WE WERE THE
SECOND HIGHEST PRODUCER OF
PRODUCERS OF AUTOMOBILE BEHIND A
CHOI IN THE NATION. WE HAVE A
TREMENDOUS INFRASTRUCTURE IN MY
DISTRICT THAT HAVE TRANSITIONED
FROM LARGE INDUSTRIAL GOOD UNION
JOBS OBCE TO UNFORTUNATELY SWEAT
SHOPS IN OUR COMMUNITIES BY
PROVIDING DIRECT AND REAL
OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH THIS
POLICY WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO REIMAGINE WHAT THESE
CORRIDORS CAN LOOK LIKE AND ALSO
REIMAGINE WHAT. AND REPAIR THE
HARM THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE
COMMUNITIES THAT LOST THOSE GOOD
INDUSTRIAL JOBS AND WHO
UNFORTUNATELY WERE PUSHED INTO A
SERVICE SECTOR THAT DIDN'T HAVE
THE SAME REGULATIONS THAT DIDN'T
PAY THOSE GOOD WAGES THEY DIDN'T
HAVE UNION REPRESENTATION AND
FAR TOO MANY OF THOSE KINDS OF
COMMUNITIES. AND I REPRESENT
THEM HAVE BEEN DYING ON THE VINE
. IN THE EXAMPLE I'LL GIVE IN
AND I LIKE TO GIVE EXAMPLES
BECAUSE IT FOR ME IT HELPS
REALLY SEE THE IMPACT IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY. THE NUMBER ONE
EMPLOYER OF BLACK MEN IN L. A.
COUNTY WAS HEAVY AND LIGHT
MANUFACTURING. FAST FORWARD TO
TWO THOUSAND AND THE NUMBER ONE
EMPLOYMENT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE
AND RETAIL. SO IT TELLS YOU WHAT
KIND OF SHIFT THAT WE HAVE MADE
IN THE IMPACT ON THE WORKING
FAMILIES IN THOSE COMMUNITIES.
AROUND THOSE JOBS THAT WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE RIGHT
NOW WE CANNOT MAKE THE SIMILAR
MISTAKES OF THE PAST WHERE WE'VE
HAD TO COME BACK AND TRY TO
RAISE STANDARDS IN THE SERVICE
SECTOR RIGHT FIFTY FORTY YEARS
LATER. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO MAKE SURE THAT THESE GREEN
JOBS START AS GOOD JOBS. AND WE
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CENTER
THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE BEEN
LEFT BEHIND. TO MAKE THEM A
PRIORITY. THE BIDEN HARRIS
ADMINISTRATION HAS ALREADY
IDENTIFIED THIS PROBLEM AND HAS
TAKEN STEPS TO ENSURE THAT THESE
DOLLARS. HAVE ACCESS TO THEM BY
EVERYONE BY INCLUDING METRICS
FOR GOOD JOBS AND ALSO GENDER
EQUITY RACIAL EQUITY AND
ECONOMIC EQUITY. THEY HAVE
SPELLED OUT THROUGH THE
PRESIDENT'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS AND
CERTAINLY THROUGH OUR GOVERNOR'S
EXECUTIVE ORDERS ON THIS WHOLE
QUESTION OF EQUITY THAT WE ARE
MAKING SURE THAT THESE ARE GOING
TO BE INCLUSIONARY DOLLARS THAT
REACH THE HARDEST HIT.
COMMUNITIES AND GIVE US AS
CALIFORNIA A COMPETITIVE EDGE
WHEN WE APPLY FOR THESE
INFRASTRUCTURE FUNDS BECAUSE OF.
SB ONE FIFTY. TWO BOTH SERVE OUR
WORKERS AND TO KEEP CALIFORNIA
COMPETITIVE FOR FEDERAL FUNDING
WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE EQUITABLE
HIRING WITH THESE INFRASTRUCTURE
DOLLARS IN SB ONE FIFTY IS THE
NEXT AND VERY IMPORTANT STEP. IN
A LONG JOURNEY TO INSURING
ECONOMIC JUSTICE FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS IN FULL
PARTICIPATION AN OPPORTUNITY BY
REQUIRING PROJECTS OVER THIRTY
FIVE MILLION IN VALUE TO FOCUS
ON HELPING THESE COMMUNITIES.
WHERE THEY ARE MOST VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS ARE LOCATED WE CAN
HELP HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES REALIZE THEIR
FULLEST BENEFITS OF THESE
PROJECTS AND BRING THEM BACK
INTO OUR HARDEST HIT
NEIGHBORHOODS. OF COURSE THIS IS
ONLY A FIRST STEP WE HAVE MANY
MORE TO TAKE WITH SB FIFTY F. B.
ONE FIFTY RECOGNIZES THAT BY
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE WE ARE
ENSURING THAT CALIFORNIA IS ON
THE RIGHT TRACK WE WILL IN THIS
PROCESS BE ENGAGING STAKEHOLDERS
REPRESENTING LABOR AND BUSINESS.
AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT
MARGINALIZED POPULATIONS WILL
COME TOGETHER THROUGH SB ONE
FIFTY AND WE WILL PROVIDE. THE
POLICY FRAMEWORKS THAT ARE
NEEDED TO SHAPE THE FUTURE
WORKFORCE AND HOW WE BUILD AND
DO IN FOR STRUCTURE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA MOVING FORWARD
THIS IS WHAT MAKES OUR VOTE
TODAY SO HISTORIC THOSE SPECIAL
AROUND SB ONE FIFTY. THAT WE
WILL FINALLY HAVE THE OVERDUE
CONVERSATION ON EQUITY IN OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE SO THAT WE CAN
MOVE CLOSER TO BRINGING ALL OF
OUR ECONOMIES TOGETHER IN THIS
STATE I AM PROUD. TO BE WITH YOU
PRESENTING A CO PRESENTING THIS
BILL TODAY I WITH MY COLLEAGUES
MY GOOD COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES AND I. ENTHUSIASTICALLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK YOU

ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS- PEOPLE
IN OUR LABOR WORK FORCE THAT
THEY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE
INCREDIBLE INVESTMENTS WHILE
SIMULTANEOUSLY. PROTECTING THE
ENVIRONMENT AND MAINTAINING OUR
STANDS AS A STATE THAT CAN DO.
ALL OF THESE THINGS WHILE
REMAINING COMPETITIVE. EVERYONE
THINKS YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE YOU
CAN'T DO THE OTHER WE CAN DO IT
ALL I KNOW WE CAN. AND AGAIN I
WANT TO THANK THE SENATORS FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD FROM LOS

UNRELENTING. AND MADE SURE THAT
WE GOT THIS DONE BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS GO

OUR COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE
STATE. THAT WE CAN DO THIS- AND
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT-
YOU KNOW AS THE FOURTH LARGEST
ECONOMY- WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT
EVERY SINGLE PERSON. AT SEIZE

LARGEST ECONOMY WE CAN LEAVE
NOBODY BEHIND- I THINK-
EVERYBODY FOR. PARTICIPATING AS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR PRESIDENT
AND I. RESHAPED COMMENTS AND
PARTICULARLY THE FACT THAT. OF
THE CRITICISM NATIONALLY. ON
CLIMATE IS IT HURTS THE ECONOMY.
AND CALIFORNIA HAS PROVEN THAT
WRONG. AND YET. THIS BILL AND I
REALLY. APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
THIS BILL. ADDRESSES ONE OF THE
MAJOR THINGS THAT HAS NOT BEEN
FULLY ADDRESSED. LAST YEAR WHEN
WE HAD THE CLIMATE WORKING
GROUP. ONE OF THE THINGS WAS A
HIGH ROAD LABOR AGREEMENT. AND
WAS IN AN AMENDED INTO A BILL
WHAT THE- WORKING GROUP AGREED
TO. AMENDED INTO A BILL IN THE
ASSEMBLY AND DIDN'T MAKE. AND
YET THIS YEAR. AND LAST YEAR IT
WAS LEFT TO INDIVIDUAL AUTHORS
TO TRY TO DO IT THE SENATOR THE
JUST SPOKE FROM SAN MATTEO. DID
A BILL THE SENATOR FROM SANTA
BARBARA DID IT. LAST YEAR TO
WELL CAPPING BILL TAKING IT IN.
AND I REALLY SALUTE THE
DOGGEDNESS. OF THE SENATOR FROM
LOS ANGELES WHO HAS PUSHED US
AND PUSH THIS AND I THINK. THIS
CLOSES THE LOOP. THIS MAKE SURE.
THAT THERE WILL BE EQUITY GOING
FORWARD AND CLIMATE PROGRAMS AND
IT REALLY CARRIES FORTH THE
COMMITMENT THAT WE HAD LAST YEAR
AND COULDN'T QUITE. CROSS THE
FINISH LINE SO. I STRONGLY
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND REALLY
SALUTE THE CO AUTHORS AND THE
AUTHOR OF FOR DOING THIS GREAT
WORK IT WILL REALLY MOVE US
WHERE WE NEED TO GO IN
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU SENATOR
NEXT ONE OF RECOGNIZE THE
SENATOR FROM NEW HYPOCENTER OCHO
ABOUT. THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT.
SO I AM LISTENING TO THE
COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUES AND
M. I ALWAYS SAY I AM A BETTER
LISTENER THAN I AM A SPEAKER.
BUT WITH REGARDS TO THESE TO THE
ELEMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
MENTIONED PRIOR TO- WITH REGARDS
TO- PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS.
AND SPECIFIC UNION JOBS WE TALK
ABOUT HAVING- INCLUSION ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITY AND SO FORTH BUT I.
I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE
RECORD IF I MAY. AS CHAIR OF THE
AUTHOR. MISTER PRESIDENT I'M
SORRY THING COMMITTEE. SENATOR
RAZA WOULD YOU TAKE A QUESTION.
YES- AT THE END OF MY- WHEN I
WRAP UP. A CENTER CHOI BOGUE ASK
YOUR QUESTION SURE I'M SO THE
QUESTION IS THAT WE TALK ABOUT-
THAT THIS WOULD PROMOTED WE HAD
ALL STAKEHOLDERS AT THE TABLE.
THAT THIS BILL WOULD INCLUDE-
PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS AND-
LABOR FORCE UNION UNION AT WORK
FORCE THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED IN
HERE. BUT OUR ALL UNIONS.
INCLUDED IN THE SPELL BECAUSE I
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE DO
NOT HAVE ALL. LABOR OR UNION AN
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA QUALIFY FOR
THIS ONLY SPECIFIC
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS SPECIFIC
UNION BASED COMPANIES ARE ABLE
TO- TO BID FOR THIS JOB. THE
OTHER SIDE THE OTHER COMPONENT
WESTERN CENTER THAT IS THE
QUESTION SO YOU WANT TO PAUSE
THERE SURE OKAY SO SENATOR EYES
THAT YOU WANT ANSWERED IN OUR IN
YOUR CLOTHES. IN MY CLOTHES
PLEASE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS COMMENTS- ON THIS SO
THE OTHER- COMMENT BECAUSE I
BELIEVE THAT NOT ALL UNIONS OR
ARE ALL APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WOULD
BE QUALIFIED TO PARTICIPATE IN
THESE. IN THESE CONTRACTS THE
OTHER COMMENT THAT I WANTED TO
MAKE- WITH REGARDS TO THE
PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS IS THAT
A NOTION THAT ANYONE AND
EVERYONE IS ABLE. TO BID ON
THESE PROJECTS. BUT THE REALITY
IS THAT FIRST OF ALL MANY OF
THESE COMPANIES WILL NOT BID ON
THESE JOBS BECAUSE ONE OF THE
REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO BID ON
A JOB IF YOU'RE NOT PART OF THE
IN. CROWD AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM.
AT FROM AT YVR I BELIEVE IVERSON
SAID- EARLIER TODAY. WE PICKLED
. WINNERS AND LOSERS- WITH THIS
PARTICULAR BILL BECAUSE WE ARE
ASKING THAT. YES YOU HAVE
CERTAIN UNION COMPANIES ARE ABLE
TO BID ON THESE JOBS BUT ANY
OTHER THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO
THE IN GROUP. ARE ABLE TO BID ON
THESE JOBS WITH THE CONDITION
THAT THEY PAY INTO A RETIREMENT
SYSTEM- THAT'S FOR THAT IS IN
PLACE AB BY THE BY THE LABOR
UNIONS THAT THAT ARE IN CHARGE.
BUT IN REALITY. IN ORDER FOR
THOSE EMPLOYEES FOR THOSE
COMPANIES ARE BETTING ON THESE
JOBS THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE
VESTED INTO THAT SYSTEM. AND
SOMETIMES MET MOST OF THOSE
JOBS- YOU HAVE TO WORK ON A
PROJECT FOR FIVE TO TEN YEARS TO
THE BEST AND I BELIEVE I WANT TO
SAY IT'S AROUND FIVE DON'T QUOTE
ME ON THAT- AND MOST PROJECTS
DON'T LAST THAT LONG. WHICH
MEANS THAT THOSE COMPANIES ARE
BIDDING ON THESE JOBS THAT ARE
RUN BY PLA'S PAYING INTO A
SYSTEM THAT THEY CAN'T AND THEY
WON'T BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW FROM
BECAUSE THE PROJECTS DON'T LAST
THAT LONG. SO THOSE COMPANIES
ACTUALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR THOSE
RETIREMENTS PLUS THE ONES THAT
THEY PROVIDE THROUGH THEIR OWN
COMPANY. MAKING THAT THE COST OF
THOSE PROJECTS GO EXPONENTIALLY
HIGH FOR THOSE PARTICULAR. NINE
YOU KNOW. TESTIFIED UNION JOBS.
WHICH SHE DID HERS MANY OF THESE
COMPANIES FROM ACTUALLY PURSUING
CONTRACTS WITH THESE ARE
PROJECTS UNDER PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENTS. SO WE TALK ABOUT
INCLUSIVITY WE TALK ABOUT
OPPORTUNITY BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE POLICIES THAT WE
PUT IN PLACE ACTUALLY PROMOTE.
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL NOT
DISCRIMINATE AND SHOES AS MY
COLLEAGUE SAID WINNERS INTO
LOSERS WHO IS ABLE TO BID ON
THESE JOBS. IF YOU'RE PART OF
THE IN CROWD OF THOSE UNION UP
PROJECTS- UNION AB CONTRACTS-
AND NOT OUTSIDE OF THOSE BECAUSE
WE DO HAVE MANY THAT ARE. HAVE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS AND ARE
NOT ABLE OR WALL ART BUT ARE
SUBJECT TO OTHER- OTHER
REQUIREMENTS. THE OTHER THING I
WANTED TO MENTION.
I'LL LEAVE IT AT THAT I REQUEST
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A JOB.
THANK YOU SENATOR NEXT UP IS THE
SENATOR FROM SAN JOSE CENTER
CORTESE. THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB ONE
FIFTY- SO- ONE OF THE AUTHORS- I
WILL- ESSENTIALLY ASSOCIATE MY
COMMENTS- WITH THOSE OF THE
OTHER AUTHORS WHO'VE SPOKEN. ON
THE BILL VERY ELOQUENTLY THUS
FAR- BUT I WANTED TO- TO RISE-
NOT TO SUPPORT THE BILL- BUT
ALSO DO THINK- THE PRO TEM AND
HER LEADERSHIP TEAM. OF THE
WORKING GROUP- THAT PROVIDED A

NUMEROUS TRANSPORTATION CLEAN

PROVIDE UNIQUE STREAMLINING
BENEFITS UNDER SEA QUEST TO

TRANSPORTATION SEMICONDUCTOR OR
MICROELECTRONICS PROJECTS
WITHOUT REDUCING THE
ENVIRONMENTAL. AND GOVERNMENTAL
TRANSPARENCY BENEFITS OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW PROCESS.
GIVEN THE SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC
BENEFITS EXPECTED FROM THESE
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS IT'S
IMPERATIVE THAT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND
PLANNING PROCESS PROCEEDS AS
EFFICIENTLY AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT
SACRIFICING THE PUBLIC'S ABILITY
TO PARTICIPATE FULLY. TO THAT TO
THAT IN THIS BILL DOES NOT
REDUCE ALTER OR ELIMINATE

AND EFFICIENCY AT THE BACK END
OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
PROCESS BY REQUIRING THAT ANY

HUNDRED AND SEVENTY DAYS. THIS
BILL ALSO EXTENDS A SUNSET ON
THE JUDICIAL STREAMLINING
PROCESS CURRENTLY ACTIVE FOR
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP

AUTHORIZES THE GOVERNOR TO
CERTIFY PROJECTS INVESTING OVER
ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN
THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY ARE
PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO

MASSIVE FLOODING. AND DANGEROUS
ENERGY GRID BLACKOUTS HAVE
OFFERED INSIGHT INTO THE
CONSEQUENCES REGULATORY GRIDLOCK
CREATES FOR OUR COMMUNITIES THE
THOUGHTFUL CHANGES THAT ARE
REPRESENTED IN SB ONE FORTY NINE
WERE DRAFTED BECAUSE THEY ARE
NECESSARY NOT ONLY TO ACHIEVE
OUR STATE'S CLIMATE GOALS. BUT
IT TO ENSURE PUBLIC SAFETY AND A
BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR
CONSTITUENTS. THANK YOU AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE TODAY- AND WITH ME HERE TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT AS WELL AS
MCCONNELL CALLING FROM MENTAL
PARK. THAT'S CORRECT THIS IS A
JOINT AUTHORED BILL BY SENATOR
CAFIERO AND CENTER BACKER THAT
WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE SENATOR
BACK. I THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT
OF THE PRESIDENT SCIENTIFIC
ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN NINETEEN
SIXTY FIVE CONCLUDED THAT THE
ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THE EFFECTS
OF CLIMATE CHANGE. CLIMATE
DISASTER WAS TOWARDS RECORDED A
GLOBAL EFFORT TO ELIMINATE THE
USE OF FOSSIL FUELS AND SWITCH
TO RENEWABLE SOURCES. SO WE KNOW
WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO BE CLIMATE
CHANGE. LONGER THAN MY LIFETIME
OVER THE LAST FIFTY EIGHT YEARS
WE'VE REALLY PUZZLED WITH HOW TO
BUILD CLEAN FASTER. EVEN IN
CALIFORNIA WITH OUR SCOPING PLAN
HAS CLEAR DIRECTION WE'VE THAT
SUPPORT. OF COURSE A CLEANER
FUTURE FOR OUR CHILDREN WE
STRUGGLE WITH TIMELY
IMPLEMENTATION. OUR GOAL SAY WE
NEED TO BE ON A PATH TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS 45% A YEAR. TO HIT OUR
GOALS- BUT REALLY WE'RE REDUCING
OUR CURRENT ABOUT 122% A YEAR.
AND ITS INABILITY SWITCH TO
CLIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR EITHER
POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL OR
TECHNICAL BARRIERS IS NOT NEW.
WITH THIS BILL DOES IT EXPEDITES
LAUNCHES PARTICLE FOR PARTY
CLIMATE PROJECTS MY COLLEAGUE
SAID WELL ADDING GUARDRAILS LIKE
SUNSETTING AT TWENTY THIRTY TWO.
MODIFYING IT TO PASS LEGISLATIVE
GUARDRAILS LIMITING ANY DELTA
CONVEYANCE PROJECTS AND FOURTH
CONSIDERING THE IMPACTS ON
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. WE
WORK EXTENSIVELY WITH ALL OF OUR
COLLEAGUES ON THESE GUARDRAILS
APPRECIATE ALL THE INPUT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
. THANK YOU SENATOR BAKER WILL
OPEN UP THE DISCUSSION AND
DEBATE. WILL BEGIN WITH SENATOR
GROW FROM BAKERSFIELD. THANK YOU
MR PRESIDENT I TO READ THE
SUPPORT OF SB ONE FORTY NINE TO
BE A- THE BILL WOULD CREATE A
ADMINISTRATIVE JUDICIAL
STREAMLINE. THAT WE'LL GET OUR
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT PROJECTS
BUILT FASTER AND MAKE US MORE
COMPETITIVE FOR FEDERAL DOLLARS.
THE BILL ALSO PAYS ATTENTION TO
MANY OF THE ISSUES THAT THE
CENTRAL VALLEY INCLUDING WATER
SUPPLY FLOOD PROTECTION AND
ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE
DESPERATELY NEEDS BY
STREAMLINING THIS CONSTRUCTION.
OF THESE PROJECTS WE CAN
CONTINUE TO FEED AND FUEL THE
NATION. EARLIER THIS YEAR I
INTRODUCED A BILL THAT WOULD
ACCOMPLISH THIS GOAL WITH WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS APPROVED
GROUNDWATER IN ONLY APPROVED
GROUNDWATER SUSTAINABILITY.
PLANS AND- SIGMA THE JUDICIAL
STREAMLINED FOR THESE PROJECTS
WILL BOLSTER OUR WATER SUPPLY
FOR FARMS. WILL BE ABLE TO STORE
OUR WATER WE HAVE WATER AND SAVE
IT FOR DRIER YEARS WHEN WE DON'T
HAVE WATER. AND IT'LL HELP OUR
COMMUNITIES AND THE ENVIRONMENT
I'M ALSO GLAD THAT WE'VE LOOKED
TO BEYOND THE SPORTS ARENAS AND
STADIUMS THAT HAVE EXPANDED
EXPEDITED SEEKING JUDICIAL
REVIEW PROCESSES. AND WE'RE
LOOKING AT CRITICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE TO BENEFIT ALL OF
CALIFORNIANS. UNDER THIS BILL
WILL GET OUR PROPOSITION ONE
DOLLARS- THE PROJECTS THAT WE
HAVE THE FOREST WILL GET BUILT
FASTER. AS MY COLLEAGUE AND FOR
BIEBER- WORKED ALSO DIGIT
DILIGENTLY ON THIS YEAR IN A
SIMILAR STREAMLINED PROCESS.
HOWEVER I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT
WILDFIRE IN BIOMASS PROJECTS ARE
NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LEGISLATION
WILDFIRES LIKE THE ONES WE HAD
IN TWENTY TWENTY FREQUENTLY IN
GOAL FOR STATE. CAUSING MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE AND
DESTROYING HABITAT IN- DEGRADING
PUBLIC HEALTH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
NICE TO HAVE THESE A PARTICULAR
SUBJECT MATTER IS INCLUDED IN
THIS JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS. SO
THAT WE COULD DO FORCE
MEDICATION AND MAKE SURE THAT
OUR FORCE FOR ADEQUATELY TAKING
CARE OF TO MITIGATE OUR
WILDFIRES. IF MAXIMIZING
STREAMLINING BENEFITS FOR THE
PUBLIC BENEFIT IS THE GOAL THEY
SHOULD- ALSO INCLUDE THE
PROJECTS THAT I JUST MENTIONED
ABOVE. AND THAT ARE MOST
VALUABLE TO OUR ECOSYSTEM
NONETHELESS I'M HAPPY FOR THIS
FIRST STEP FORWARD IN APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING. AND
FORMER SPECIFICALLY
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS WILL
HELP THE KIDS CENTRAL. VALLEY
CONTINUE TO FEED OUR NATION. WE
ASK FOR. THANK YOU SENATOR WILL
NEXT RECOGNIZE THE SENATOR FROM
LOS. SENATOR STERN. AT THE
MISTER PRESIDENT. I RISE IS A-
FREQUENT SEEK WORD REFORM
SKEPTIC OVER THE YEARS- OF
DISSENTED ON. SEVERAL PIECE OF
LEGISLATION WE'VE WE'VE VOTED ON
IN THIS HOUSE SOME OF WHICH HAVE
PASSED SOME OF WHICH HAVE NOT
BUT- I'M NOT ONE YOU'LL FIND
OFTEN SAYING SEEK WAS- THE BLAME
FOR OUR ILLS IN FACT I THINK
IT'S PREVENTED SOME VERY BAD
THINGS FROM HAPPENING- THERE
WOULD BE- WOULD BE A- GIANT
MATTRESS FACTORY WHERE A-
WILDLIFE CORRIDOR NOW SITS IN A-
WHEEL WHERE. WELL RIGHT NEAR
WHERE MY HOUSE- MY FORMER
PARTNER USED TO SIT RIGHT MIDDLE
THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NEXT TO
COMMUNITY CENTER IF NOT FOR
SEQUEL. SO A LOT OF. GOOD SEEK
WAS DONE OVER THE YEARS BY THAT
AS JOINT CLIMIE COMMITTEE CHAIR
FOR THIS BODY. YOU KNOW I HAVE
TO PUSH MYSELF AS A LEGISLATOR
OUTSIDE MY COMFORT ZONE. AND I
THINK THAT THIS LEGISLATION.
STARTS TO DO THAT. I ACTUALLY
WAS SURPRISED THAT THE DEBATE
WE'VE BEEN HAVING OVER. THIS
VERSION OF C. CORE FORM IN THAT.
IT'S REALLY JUST A SHOT CLOCK IT
ACTUALLY DOESN'T CHANGE THE
QUOTE- AND ALL THE ANALYSIS THE
PARTIES ENGAGED. AMID IT STILL
HAS A FULL PROCESS AND A LOT OF
THIS SORT OF CONCURRENT
PERMITTING ISSUES THAT A-
IMPORTANT PROJECT WILL FACE
THAT. ARE NECESSARILY SEQUEL
RELATED BUT MAYBE ABOUT GETTING-
FISH AND WILDLIFE PERMIT FOR
STREAMBED ALTERATION PERMITTING
OR THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION NEEDS TO GIVE YOU A-
CERTIFICATE OF PUBLIC
CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY. THOSE
OFTEN ARE THE ISSUES THAT STALL
THESE PROJECTS. SO AS A SKEPTIC-
NOT JUST ON THE SUBSTANCE BUT-
SOMEBODY OUGHT ON PROCESS AS
WELL. WAS INITIALLY CONCERNED- I
DON'T WANT TO SEE THIS BE
OPAQUE- AND SORT OF CONICAL
JAMMED THROUGH THE BUDGET. BUT
THAT'S WHY I REALLY WANT TO
APPLAUD THE PRO TEM AND THE
LEADERSHIP OF HIS HOUSE FOR
BRINGING THIS WHOLE DISCUSSION
INTO THE PUBLIC EYE. FOR MAKING
THIS TRANSPARENT. IN THE WORKING
GROUP THE HEARINGS HELD JOINTLY
IT SENT NATURI SOURCE AND WATER
THE SELECT COMMITTEE THAT JUST
RAN THROUGH ALL THESE ITEMS LAST
WEEK. NO ONE CAN ASSERT AND I
I'M NOT HEARING ANYONE DO THAT
THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE HOST OF
INFRASTRUCTURE BILLS THAT
SOMEHOW THIS WAS DONE- IN THE
DARK AT NIGHT AND NO ONE KNOWS
ABOUT. I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT
SOME OF THE ISSUES ARE HERE AND
I THINK THE SENATE. HAS MADE
THIS PROCESS BETTER- AND IS
HOPEFULLY BUILT THE FOUNDATION
FOR PUBLIC TRUST IN THE FUTURE
WHERE STAKEHOLDERS KNOW THAT
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE EXCLUDED
FROM OUR PROCESS. AND WE ARE
LISTENING AND WE'RE WORKING
THROUGH STUFF. I AM I DON'T
THINK IT'S A PERFECT. BILL AND I
THINK THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY A
LOT MORE WORK THAT NEEDS TO GET
DONE. ON SEEK REFORM EVEN. AND
SOMETHING YOU WON'T OFTEN HEAR
ME SAY BUT- I TRULY DO BELIEVE
WE NEED TO GO FURTHER. I'M NOT
IN EVERY AREA NOT CARTE BLANCHE
YOU CAN SAY THAT'S PICKING
WINNERS AND LOSERS I THINK IT'S
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE VERSUS.
MAYBE DOUBLING DOWN ON THE PAST
AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
THE NEW YEAR POLICY MAKING WHERE
WE NEED TO MAKE SOME CHOICES. I
THINK IT'S A GOOD THING THAT
WE'VE NARROWED THE SCOPE OF
WHAT'S ELIGIBLE HERE AND- AND
REALLY FOCUSED ON THINGS ARE
THERE'S CONSENSUS BUT- I WANT TO
FLAG A FEW ITEMS THAT I BELIEVE
THIS HOUSE. AND COLLECTIVELY THE
THREE. THE BIG THREE HERE
HOPEFULLY WILL WILL WILL PUT ON
THEIR DOCKET IS UNFINISHED
BUSINESS FOR THE REMAINDER OF
THIS SESSION- WHEN IT COMES TO.
TRANSMISSION WHICH RIGHT NOW
WE'RE DEALING WITH A LOT OF OUR
GREAT RESILIENCE BY EXTENDING
THE LIFE OF THESE GAS SPEAKERS
THAT ARE. RIGHT NOW HARD TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
PROPOSING TO THROW BILLION TO ON
THE LINE JUST TO. THE FIRE UP TO
SOMETHING LIKE ARMAAN BEECHER
LOS ALAMEDA IS THAT FOR YEARS WE
PROMISE THOSE COMMUNITIES WILL
SHUT THEM DOWN ALL RIGHT NOW.
WERE DEFAULTING TO THIS. WHAT
ARE WE DOING TO ACCELERATE THE
CLEAN STUFF TO DISPLACE THAT. IN
THOSE VERY SAME COMMUNITIES.
THROUGH PROCUREMENT. THROUGH
GREAT UPGRADES LIKE THE CENTER
FROM SAN DIEGO IN THE CENTER FOR
MENTAL PARKER PURSUING.
MANUFACTURING INCITING OF NEW
RESOURCES ON OFFSHORE WIND.
SEVEN FOR STRUCTURE WHICH IS NOT
IN HERE AND EVEN. TOUGH SUBJECTS
LIKE GREEN HYDROGEN. WHICH I
BELIEVE ACTUALLY WE NEED TO.
FORCE OURSELVES TO WRESTLE WITH
AND ACTUALLY GET TO A PLACE OF
YES IF WE'RE GONNA WIN. BOTH OF
THE FUNDING GAIMAN'S IN THIS
INDUSTRIAL HEAVY DUTY LANDSCAPE
THAT DEMANDS. SOME OTHER KIND OF
FUEL SOURCE THAT ELECTRICITY. I
ALSO BELIEVE THAT'S THE CASE AND
DEMAND RESPONSE. AND LONG
DURATION ENERGY STORAGE. SO
THAT'S THAT'S MY LIST OF
UNFINISHED BUSINESS ON THE
ENERGY SIDE I ALSO BELIEVE
THAT'S THE CASE ON WILDFIRE TO
MY COLLEAGUE FROM. BAKERSFIELD
CRITIQUE. AND I REALLY HOPE THAT
THE SENATE BOND. CAN START TO
DOUBLE DOWN ON THAT EFFORT. WE
CAN MAKE A SERIOUS COMMITMENT.
ON GETTING WILDFIRE RESILIENCE-
OFF THE BOOKS SAVE UTILITY RATE
PAYERS- AND INTO- OF RESILIENCE
FUND I THINK WE CAN MAKE A LOT
OF PROGRESS. ON WATER IS WELL WE
KNOW SOME OF THE CONTROVERSIAL
PIECES FELL OUT- IN THOSE ARE
TOUGH ISSUES TO WRESTLE WITH
BUT- WE STILL HAVEN'T SOLVED OUR
WATER RESILIENCY CRISIS WE STILL
MISSED A MASSIVE. GROUNDWATER
STORAGE OPPORTUNITY THROUGH
THESE FLOODS IN. SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA STILL DOESN'T HAVE
SECURE SUPPLIES FOR THE FUTURE
AND WE'RE HUNTING. EVERYWHERE SO
WE NEED TO ADD THOSE TO THE
TABLE TO. AGAIN I BELIEVE THE
SENATE'S CLIMATE BOND CAN BE A
PART OF THAT BUT- IT CAN'T JUST
BE MONEY. IT HAS TO BE DIGGING
DEEPER ON THESE ISSUES AROUND
PERMITTING REFORM AND NOT JUST
SYKORA. SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING
HIS MEASURE TODAY. BUT I HOPE
THAT WE ALL. COMMIT OURSELVES TO
STRETCHING CLIMATE DEMANDS US TO
DO THAT- AND SO WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK PRIVATE. THANK
YOU SENATOR. ME I NOW RECOGNIZE
THE SENATOR FROM SANTA CLARITA
SENATOR WILK. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT I KNOW THAT WE'RE WE
ARE AIMING TO. TO TURN IT TOO SO
WE'RE I GUESS BRING GO AFTER SO
I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT I TO- RICE
AND SUPPORTIVE SB ONE FORTY
NINE. WE ALL KNOW CLIMATE CHANGE
IS GOING ON WITH CLIMATE CHANGE
WE HAVE A NUMBER OF CHALLENGES
WE HAVE ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE REDUCED
SNOWFALL IN THE SIERRAS WHICH
MELTING AND IT GOES INTO THE
GROUNDWATER. NOW I THINK THE
VOTERS. AND ME WANTED TO SEE
ABOVE GROUND STORAGE I THINK
THAT'S WHY THE VOTERS PASSED
PROPOSITION ONE BACK IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN WAS SEVEN A HALF
BILLION DOLLARS TOTAL THING WAS
TWO POINT FIVE SEVEN FIVE
BILLION. FOR ABOVE GROUND
STORAGE AND- THAT MONEY'S ON
ALMOST ALREADY OUT AND WE'RE NO
CLOSER TO HAVING ABOVE GROUND
STORAGE. BUT IN THIS PART IN
THIS PARTICULAR PIECE OF
LEGISLATION IS ACTUALLY A GREAT
PROJECTS NOT IN MY DISTRICT BUT
CLOSE TO THE WILLOW SPRINGS
WATER BANK. WHICH IS GONNA BANK
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND SQUARE
FEET OF WATER AND ALSO BROUGHT
PROVIDE SIX HUNDRED FORTY ACRES
. OF FORMER BULL LAND. AND WE
SHOULD BE DOING- THIS- MY FRIEND
AND COLLEAGUE FROM LA MENTIONED
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HAS GREAT
WATER NEEDS WELL THERE IN THE IN
A VALLEY WE BELIEVE THAT THAT
AQUIFER HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
HOLD SEVEN MILLION ACRE FEET.
THAT IS DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE
ORVILLE AND WE CAN BUILD THAT
OUT FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST
AND THEN THERE WOULD BE WATER
THERE FOR- FOR SOME IN
CALIFORNIA SO. GREAT PROJECT A
GREAT DEAL- THERE THERE'S A LOT
MORE THAN NEEDS TO BE DONE AND I
HOPE WE GET TO WORK AND DO THAT
WITH THAT. I ON SB ONE FOUR NINE
