I'M HERE TO PRESENT AB ELEVEN
THIRTY SIX THE MIXED MARTIAL
ARTS PENSION BILL- MIXED MARTIAL
ARTS IS ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
SPORTS IN THE WORLD IT'S AN OVER
BILLION DOLLAR. INDUSTRY
WORLDWIDE AND CALIFORNIA IS THE
STATE WHERE WE HAVE MORE FIGHTS
AND MORE FIGHTERS THAN ANY OTHER
I THIS IS A SPORT THAT HAS GROWN
TREMENDOUSLY IN POPULARITY. I
MEAN IT'S ONE THAT CALIFORNIA
TAKES THE RESPONSIBILITY TO
REGULATE HOW WE AUTHORIZE THE
FIGHTERS WE AUTHORIZE THE FIGHTS
WE OVERSEE THEM WE OVERSEE THEIR
HEALTH AND SAFETY. AND WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO THESE FIGHTERS
WILL BRING TREMENDOUS
ENTERTAINMENT- AYE SKILL AYE IN
REVENUE TO OUR STATE I TO ENSURE
THAT THEY ARE SAFE AND PROTECTED
WHEN THEY ARE IN THE RING. AND
WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED I MANY OF
THESE FIGHTERS HAVE SHORT
CAREERS AND WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY ARE. ABLE TO FINISH THEIR
CAREERS- AND LIVE WITH DIGNITY
AFTERWARDS. AB ELEVEN THIRTY SIX
ONE SURE THAT LICENSE
PROFESSIONAL MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
FIGHTERS HAVE ACCESS TO A
PENSION FUND. AT ELEVEN THIRTY
SIX WOULD MAKE MMA FIGHTERS AT
FIFTY YEARS OLD ELIGIBLE TO
RECEIVE A PENSION. THE PENSION
FUND WOULD BE FINANCED THROUGH
TICKET SALES. THE SALES SPORTS
PERFORMANCE FAMILIA AND
SOUVENIRS. FIGHTERS WOULD
RECEIVE A NOTICE ONCE THEY ARE
ELIGIBLE AND IN YOUR NOTICES
WILL BE SENT TO THE FIGHTERS ON
THE STATUS OF THE PENSION ONCE
THEY VESTED. SPECIFICALLY FOR
EVERY. TICKET SOLD ONE DOLLAR
WOULD GO TOWARDS ANIME FIGHTERS
PENSION FUND ANY FIGHTERS WOULD
BECOME VESTED. BETWEEN TWELVE
AND FOURTEEN FIGHTS. WHICH IS
AROUND THIRTY NINE SCHEDULED
ROUNDS AT COMMISSION REGULATED
MMA EVENTS. THIS WOULD EXPAND ON
CURRENT EXISTING LAW THAT HAS
ENABLED LICENSE PROFESSIONAL
BOXERS HAVE ACCESS TO A PENSION
FUND. THIS BILL IS NECESSARY FOR
OUR STATE IS IT AIMS TO PROVIDE
MUCH NEEDED BENEFITS AND
PROTECTION TO ATHLETES IN THE
HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND
PHYSICALLY DEMANDING. SPORT OF
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS. I THERE'S NO
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL THAT
PASSED THE ASSEMBLY. WITH BROAD.
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT HAS THE SPA.
OF THE- FLAG. I TO. TODAY OUR-
PROFESSIONAL MAKES MARTIAL ARTS
CAL GONE. AND RENEE M. IN REFER
MIKE BELTRAN AND ALSO TO ASSIST
WITH TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
COMMISSIONER SCOTT WEDGE FROM
THE CALIFORNIA'S LEADING
COMMISSION. AND TERRA WELSH
THEIR COUNSEL I FROM THE
COMMISSION. THANK YOU MR. OKAY
WHO WANTS TO STEP UP FIRST.
WE'RE GONNA START WITH MISSING
ON.
I AM GOING TO DO MY BEST TO KEEP
THIS AROUND TWO MINUTES. THANK
YOU- MY NAME IS KATHERINE GONNA
AND I'M FOR MMA AND NUMBER ONE
CONTENDER AT A HUNDRED AND FORTY
FIVE POUNDS. I'LL BE FIGHTING
FOR THE FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE IN
OCTOBER. I HELPED PIONEER THE
FIRST GENERATION OF WOMEN IN
WRESTLING AND THEN AGAIN IN MMA.
AS ONE OF THE FIRST FOUR
ORIGINAL WOMEN FIGHTERS SIGNED
TO THE UFC I'M FORTY ONE YEARS
OLD AND I'M STILL COMPETING AND
WINNING. I'VE BEEN RANKED IN THE
TOP FIVE FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS
I STARTED COMBAT SPORTS WHEN I
WAS TWELVE YEARS OLD. I'M THE
FIRST MOTHER TO COMPETE IN THE
OCTAGON OCTAGON I WAS THE FIRST
WOMAN TO WIN BY TECHNICAL
KNOCKOUT AND THE FIRST WOMAN TO
ACHIEVE THE FIGHT OF THE NIGHT
BONUS. FIGHTING IS SO INCREDIBLY
HARD WHAT YOU SEE ON THE CAGE.
AND ON TV IS SUCH A FRACTION OF
THE COMMITMENT IT ACTUALLY TAKES
. BEING A SINGLE MOTHER MY
CAREER WAS DIFFERENT. I RAISE MY
SON BY MY OWN AFTER MY HUSBAND
DIED BY SUICIDE IN TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN. MY CAREER HAS BEEN
COMPLICATED AND I HAVE DEALT
WITH VERY PUBLIC GRIEF AND
HEALING. I NEEDED TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO STILL FIND WAYS
TO COMPETE AND PROVIDE. IT'S
BEEN HARD TO BE THE NURTURE WHO
MAKE SURE HOMES OKAY SAFE AND
TAKING CARE OF MEANWHILE BEING
THE BUSINESS WOMAN AND DOING
DANGEROUS WORK FOR MINIMAL
MINIMAL RETURN. MY CIRCUMSTANCES
MADE IT HARD FOR ME TO FIGHT AS
OFTEN AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED. I
DIDN'T ALWAYS HAVE THE RESOURCES
AND FIGHT CAMP IS RISKY AND
EXPENSIVE. THE COST OF. FOOD
BECAUSE DRIVE THE PRICE LESSON
IN THIS IS A THERAPY. THE PAYING
OF COACHES AND MANAGER AT UP AND
CAN TAKE OVER THE WHOLE WINNING.
THERE IS LITTLE ROOM OUTSIDE OF
THE REGIMENT TO EAT SLEEP AND
REST IF YOU GET HURT BECAUSE
YOU'RE OFF YOUR GAME THOSE BILLS
COME KNOCKING AS WELL. FIGHTING
HAS BEEN MY PURPOSE MY
EXPRESSION AND IT LETS ME COKE.
AND MET MY BEST FRIENDS I'VE
TRAVELED THE WORLD I'VE SHOWN MY
AND WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
QUITTING AND I'M PROUD OF WHAT
I'VE BUILT. I'M ASKING FOR THIS
PENSION BECAUSE FIGHTERS READILY
DO GIVE YOU THEY'RE ALL. MANY
ARE CURRENTLY STRUGGLING
FINANCIALLY AND PHYSICALLY AFTER
THEIR IMPRESSIVE AND DEVOTED
CAREERS. WE CANNOT SIMPLY THROW
THEM TO THE SIDE. SPECTATORS
HAVE BEEN SHIELDED FROM SEEING
THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND EFFORT
THAT GOES INTO BOTH WINNING AND
LOSING. FIGHTERS DESERVE A
BETTER CUT OF WHAT THEY BRING TO
THE TABLE AND A PLAN TO LOOK
FORWARD TO. FOR PLAN TO LOOK
FORWARD TO FOR ALL THAT THEY'VE
DONE. I AM TRULY GRATEFUL FOR
THE SUPPORT TO BE ABLE TO SET
GOALS AND TO USE IT AS OUTLET
HAS GOTTEN ME THROUGH SOME OF MY
DARKEST DAYS. AND I KNOW I'M NOT
THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THAT.
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS PENSION FOR
THE LONGEVITY AND HEALTH OF OUR
PAST CURRENT AND FUTURE FIGHTERS
. YOU MA'AM THANKS FOR COMING TO
THE- NEXT.
HELLO GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS
MIKE BELTRAN. I'M AN MMA REFEREE
FOR THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ATHLETIC COMMISSION. AS WELL AS
A REFEREE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
AND THE WORLD. I AM. I COME TO
YOU. I COME BEFORE YOU. WITH A-
COMPASSION AND THE PASSION THAT
I FEEL. FOR THIS BILL. LADIES
AND GENTLEMAN. IT IS AN AMAZING
BILL. ONE OF ONE ALREADY HAS
BEEN ESTABLISHED IN NINETEEN
EIGHTY ONE. FOR THE BOXING
PENSIONS. NOW IS TERM FOR MIXED
MARTIAL ARTS. THE REASON WHY MY
HEART. FEELS FOR THIS THING IS.
BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTERS LIKE
CUTS IN GHANA. THAT'S JUST ONE
STORY OF MANY. FIGHTERS IT'S
AMAZING. SPORT WHICH I PART I
ACTUALLY PRACTICED MYSELF. BUT
TO ACTUALLY GET OUT AND DO IT.
IS ANOTHER THING. AND THIS IS
WHAT THEY MAKE A LIVING DOING. I
DO BELIEVE THEY NEED THE JUSTICE
THAT THEY DESERVE AND TO BE
EQUALS TO BOXING. SO THERE'S
FAIRNESS ACROSS THE BOARD. I
THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT
THIS BILL PASSES. BECAUSE WE ARE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS STATE
. ARE THE TREND SETTERS. WE HAVE
THE MOST FIGHTS. THE MOST
EXPERIENCE OFFICIALS IN ADDITION
TO THAT THE REGULATION HERE IS
THE BEST. A PENSION PLAN FOR
BOXERS PENSION BLACK PENSION
PLAN FOR MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
WHICH WILL EVEN CATAPULTED US.
THE CONTINUING. TO BE NUMBER ONE
IN THE STATE AND FOR EVERYONE TO
RECOGNIZE HOW IT'S DONE IN
CALIFORNIA IS THE PLACE TO DO IT
. WITH THAT THANK YOU VERY MUCH
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION.
THE ATHLETIC COMMISSION. THE
FIGHTERS. EVERYBODY HERE WANTS
BECAUSE NOTHING COMES OUT OF THE
GENERAL FUND ZERO IT'S A WIN WIN
FOR EVERYBODY. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND I
APPRECIATE YOU GUYS GIVE ME THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COME BEFORE YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR ANY
OTHER. SUPPORTERS IN THE- YEAH
MISTER CHAIRMAN IF I MIGHT REAL
QUICKLY A SCOTT WHICH I'M HERE
AS A NEWLY APPOINTED SENATE
COMMISSIONER TO THE ATHLETIC
COMMISSION. MISTER CHAIRMAN I
JUST WE'VE BEEN WORKING AS YOU
KNOW IF THIS BILL PASSES IT WILL
GO TO THE LABOR COMMITTEE. WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH THE CHAIR AND
THE COMMITTEE AND SPECIFICALLY
ON THREE ISSUES THAT YOU RAISED
WHEN I SPOKE WITH YOU ABOUT THIS
BILL SO I'D LIKE JUST TO LET YOU
KNOW THAT PROGRESS ON THAT-
WE'VE WORKED WITH THE LABOR
COMMITTEE TOWARDS REMOVING THE
NAME. OF THE PENSION FUND SO
THAT IT NO LONGER REFERS TO IT
AS A PENSION PURSUANT TO. OUR
DISCUSSION. IT ALSO CLARIFIES
THAT NO GENERAL FUND MONEY AT
ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE WILL GO TO
SUPPORT TO FIND IT HAS TO BE
SELF SUSTAINING. ED AMONG OTHER
AMENDMENTS THE ONE THAT I WANTED
TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IS-
WE'RE WORKING ON SOME ROBUST-
NOTIFICATION. ALSO SEES FOR. ALL
VESTED- ATHLETES- SO THAT WHEN
THEY ACTUALLY. ADDITIONALLY
SIGNED FOR THEIR LICENSE-
THEY'LL BE NOTIFIED OF THE- THE-
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS. AND THEN
THEY'LL BE A PROGRAM OF.
STAINING CONTACT WITH ALL VESTED
FIGHTERS WHEN THEY INVEST AND
THEN YOU KNOW ANNUALLY GOING
FORWARD PURSUANT TO THE
CONVERSATIONS WE HAD. WITH THAT
ASTRONOMICAL. THANK YOU SIR IN
ANY OTHER. HERE IN ROOM ONE ON.
SING THEN LET'S TURN TO.
OPPOSITION TESTIMONY ANY
OPPOSITION LEADER OR OTHERWISE

ELEVEN THIRTY SIX PLEASE PRESS
ONE FOLLOWED BY ZERO ONE FELL BY
. ZERO AND WE HAVE NO
PARTICIPANTS QUEUING UP. THANK
YOU MODERATOR GOING TO BRING THE
MATTER BACK TO THE DAIS AT THIS
POINT LET ME JUST- MAYBE ASK YOU
MAKE A STATEMENT I GUESS. THIS
IS A NOBLE EFFORT. WE NEED TO
MAKE THIS HAPPEN. WE NEED TO
RESOLVE HAS MISSED WHICH
INDICATED THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN
AB FIVE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
STATUS AND EMPLOYEES WERE
PENSIONS ARE TYPICALLY. THOUGHT
OF HIS IN THE EMPLOYMENT
EMPLOYEE. EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE
SITUATION. IN ADDITION TO THE
ITEMS MENTIONED BY MR WELCH. I
THINK WHEN THE GETS TO LABOR
MOVES OF THIS COMMITTEE AND I'M
GOING TO BE SUPPORTING IT SO I
HOPE IT DOES. WE NEED TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THE STATE TREASURY IS
REPULSIVE WHETHER THAT'S AN
APPROPRIATE REPOSITORY FOR THE
MONEY. AND THEN THE OTHER
QUESTION THAT I NOTED I MADE TO
MYSELF AS I REVIEWED THE BILL ON
THE ANALYSIS IS. I THINK
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE A LOOK
AND IT'S OUTSIDE THE PURVIEW OF
THIS COMMITTEE. ON HOW A-
MARTIAL ARTS. PERSON OR EVEN A
BOXER. AVOIDS TAX ON THE AMOUNT
OF MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT. ONCE
INVEST. THIS IS NOT IN A RESERVE
PENSION PLAN THIS IS NOT AN IRA.
THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE AND SO
SOMEBODY JUST NEEDS TO ADDRESS
THAT ISSUE AND IT CAN BE HANDLED
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER OBVIOUSLY.
OKAY COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS SEARCH A LETTER YES
THANK YOU MISTER AND I. COMMEND
YOU FOR THE HOMEWORK YOU'VE DONE
ON THE BILL- AS I LOOKED AT IT I
I'VE SEE POSITIVE AFTER
POSITIVE. AND WITH YOUR WAY IN
AS YOU JUST DID I CAN SEE THE
SUCCESS OF THE BILL- BECAUSE I
THINK ALL OF US FROM THE
TESTIMONY WE HEARD. WE WANT TO
TAKE CARE OF THESE YOUNG MEN AND
WOMEN- AND TO LOOK AT THEIR
FUTURE. AS HE- THE LADY WHO CAME
UP WITH MESSAGES OF MOTHER INCH
AND SO ON AND OF COURSE BY THE
TIME SHE FINISHES IN. THE
PENSION. HOWEVER IT'S QUITE
CLASSIFIED. WILL HELP HER FAMILY
WILL HELP YOUR CHILDREN AND I
THINK THAT'S FANTASTIC. AND THE
FACT THAT I'M REALLY SURPRISED
THAT IT'S TAKEN SO LONG WE TELL
ME THE BOXING HAS HAD THIS IS
NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE. AND THIS
SPORT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR QUITE
A WHILE AS WELL BUT I'M I'M GLAD
IS FINALLY HITTING. AND- WITH
THE AMENDMENTS THAT- YOU'VE ALL
HEARD AND THE FACT THAT THE
COMMISSION BECOME TOGETHER- I
THINK IT'S AGAIN AS WE HEARD A
WIN WIN. SO I'M GOING TO MOVE
THE BILL WHEN IT- IT'S READY AND
I TOTALLY WAS SUPPORTED. THANK
YOU MISTER. NO I KEEP TELLING
YOU FOR. SIR SIR SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS FOLLOWED BY SEN THE

THE- LEDGE COUNCIL HAS-
IDENTIFIED THIS IS A TAX AND FOR
A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY IN OF
COURSE WE REPORT CONSERVATIVE
REPUBLICANS ARE SUPPOSED TO
TAKE. POSITIVE TAX AND
CERTAINLY- I DO BUT I'M NOT JUST
TOTALLY OPPOSED TO SOMETHING
BECAUSE IT'S A TAX- THIS IS A-
AN AMOUNT THAT'S ADDED TO THE
COST OF. SPECTATORS OF
SPECTATORS ATTEND THESE EVENTS
TO SEE THE SKILL AND EXCITEMENT
OF THOSE IN THE RING. WHO ARE
PUMMELING EACH OTHER AND- I
THINK WE'VE SEEN EXAMPLES-
MUHAMMAD ALI BEING THE MOST
VISIBLE OF RECENT TIMES OF THE-
IMPACT THAT- THESE. FIGHTS CAN
HAVE ON- ON PARTICIPANTS AS THEY
LIVE LONGER IN LIFE AND IT SEEMS
ONLY REASONABLE TO ME THAT THOSE
WHO ARE RECEIVING THE-
ENTERTAINMENT VALUE OF THE- THE
SKILLS THAT THE- PARTICIPANTS
OBVIOUSLY HAVE. SKILLED
DETERMINATION AND COULD I EVEN
SAY GUTS- THAT IT'S ONLY RIGHT
THAT- THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR
THIS- OF POTENTIAL BENEFITS
AFTER THEIR CAREERS ARE OVER SO
I- I CAN CERTAINLY SUPPORT IT
BECAUSE OF THAT. AND THE
SUGGESTIONS OF THE CHAIR
HOPEFULLY CAN OVERCOME SOME OF
THE- PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN
EXPERIENCED IN THE BOXERS FUND-

KILLING UP- OKAY LET'S BRING THE
MATTER BACK TO THE- THIS TO ME
TO START. OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER
PRESS YOU COULD OF SORT OF
ADDRESS SOME OF THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS BECAUSE AS I
UNDERSTAND IT THOSE WERE NOT.
BUT ITEMS THAT YOU WANTED TO
ENTERTAIN TODAY. WELL ONE OF
THEM BEING FOR EXAMPLE A DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION. TO GIVE THE
BUREAU TIME TO ESTABLISH
REGULATIONS I MEAN THERE. SORT
OF OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS.
YEAH WE WERE WE WERE STILL IN
DISCUSSION WITH THAT CERTAINLY
WE ARE OPEN TO A DELAYED
IMPLEMENTATION WE ONE IS WOULD
LIKE TO SEE IF FIGURE- WORKS SO-
THAT WE DON'T LOSE THIS
OPPORTUNITY FOR A FULL TWO YEARS
BUT CERTAINLY OPEN TO IT THAT'S
FINE I'M WE DON'T OBVIOUSLY I
DON'T NEGOTIATE. A MEMBERS FROM
IN THE US AND YOU KNOW THAT TOO.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO WHETHER
YOU WERE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THOSE. WHEN THE AS THE
BILL MOVES FORWARD OKAY.
COLLEAGUES ANY ARE COMMON. OKAY
I'M THE SPIRITUAL. OF COURSE.
OKAY. YES THANK YOU MR KEVIN FOR
YOURSELF REMEMBER- IT CALLS FOR
SEPARATE SECTION OR DESIGNATED
AREA- BUT WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT AN IMMEDIATE. CLOSE
PROXIMITY. BECAUSE THERE'S OTHER
FAMILIES THAT WE HAVE TO I GUESS
BE CONCERNED WITH THIS WELL. IT
MAY NOT BE PET LOVERS LIKE
MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE BUT
HAVING A DESIGNATED AREA- IN A
SEPARATE AREA IN THE SAME.
LOCATION I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM
WITH THAT WOULD YOU CLARIFY THAT
PLEASE- IT IT'S SORT OF A LOT OF
THESE REGULATIONS ARE NOT REAL
SPECIFIC. OF BECAUSE WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE CEMETERIES
ARE FIRST FALLS VOLUNTARY AND
THEN THE CEMETERIES ARE GOING TO
DECIDE EXACTLY WHAT THE
APPROPRIATE SPACING IS FOR. THE-
IN A FOR IT FOR THE FAMILIES
THAT ALREADY HAVE OF LOVED ONES
THERE SO IT IT DOES SAY THAT IT
HAS TO BE A SEPARATE SECTION.
AND A LOT OF THAT WILL BE LEFT
UP TO- UP TO THE SEVEN TWO AND
WOULD THEY BE UNDER THE UMBRELLA
OF THE BUREAU OR THE CEMETERY
THEMSELVES THE REGULATIONS WILL
BE THE REGULATIONS- THE TYPES OF
DISPOSAL THAT ARE ALLOWED THE
TYPES OF PETS THE NUMBER OF
PETS. THE NUMBER OF PETS PER
DECEDENT- AND IS ALL GOING TO BE
DECIDED BY THE CEMETERY OKAY
THANK YOU MISTER. OKAY CENTER
ROADKILL FOLLOWED CENTER. AND
THEN WILK ASSEMBLY MEMBER. I'M
MY QUESTION IS AROUND THE
DEFINITION OF PETS AND I
UNDERSTAND IN THIS BILL AND THAT
THERE IS NOT A DEFINITION- FOR
THE PURPOSE OF YOUR BILL- WOULD
YOU BE. TAKING ANY
CONSIDERATIONS AROUND SERVICE
ANIMALS IN TERMS OF BEING LOOKED
AT DIFFERENTLY THAN PETS UNDER
THE LAW. AT AND THIS IS AGAINST
SOMETHING WHERE WE WANT TO HAVE
FLEXIBILITY FOR AND THE
CEMETERIES TO DECIDE THAT BUT-
YOU KNOW WE HADN'T CONSIDERED
SERVICE ANIMALS CERTAINLY WE
WOULD. OF I MEAN. THEY SHOULD BE
ELEVATED RIGHT CORRECT YES ACT
SO WE WILL- AGAIN TO CONTINUE
DISCUSSIONS ON THAT ISSUE AND
THE APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT
OF COURSE AND THEN THE OTHER- A
TYPES OF ANIMALS THAT I WOULD.
ALSO ASK YOU TO CONSIDER IN IN
THIS BILL ARE MOVING FORWARD. R.
SERVICE ANIMALS THAT SERVE AS A
PUBLIC OFFICERS- ANIMALS THAT
WORK IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE
SECTOR AS WELL- SO I THINK WITH
WITH PET BEING ALL ENCOMPASSING-
I AM CONCERNED THAT THAT. WE MAY
BE NEGLECTING- THE KNOWLEDGE
MENT OF SERVICE ANIMALS AND
WORKING AND- CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE THAT WE WILL WE WILL
CLARIFY THANK. YOU THANK CENTER
CENTER EGGMAN. MY STAFF HAS A NO
BRECHER THIS I THINK IT'S
PRIVILEGE AND IT'S FINE- SO WHAT
WHAT YOU TO BRING THIS AND YOU
TALK THE CONFLICT. LIKE OF THE
DYING AT THE SAME AS THE PER.
AND MULTIPLE PETS I HAVE TWO
DOGS TWO CATS WHO WHO GETS TO
COME ME. WELL CERTAINLY NOT GO
TO THE PERSON DIES FIRST THROUGH
NOT GO TO HELP KILL THE PET BUT
ARE YOU SURE BUT THIS BILL IS
REMAIN SILENT ON. THERE IS THERE
A THE FLAG. THAT YOU THEY CAN
EITHER BE IF THE- DIE BEFORE THE
THAT THEY CAN BE. AND THE ASHES
COULD BE VERY WITH OR COULD BE
VERY A LAW. I MEAN WITH THE WITH
THE OWNER OF THE PATTER COULD BE
ALONGSIDE- IN A COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT CONTAINER. M. I GUESS
MY OTHER QUESTION IS THAT'S
THAT'S HOW IT IS WITH. THE OF A
FAMILY PLOT ALSO. SOME SO THE
JURORS AS YOU TO FROM AMENDMENTS
BECAUSE LIKE THERE'S QUESTIONS
ON. RIGHT ON TYPES OF PETS AND
MIKE WAS MORE LIKE WHAT IF IT'S
A GIRAFFE FOR SOMETHING RIGHT
WOULD BE DRAG IN. HUMAN REMAIN
AREA. AND AGAIN A LOT OF THAT
ANYWHERE WE ARE. THIS COMPLETELY
FALSE FOR THE CEMETERY WE WANTED
THEM TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH
THE REGULATIONS TO DETERMINE
WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR. AND FOR
THEIR CEMETERY OKAY BUT THEN IT
BACK TO THE CHAIRS QUESTION
ABOUT. GIVING SOME TIME FOR THE
REGULATIONS TO BE DEVELOP WITH
THAT MAKES SENSE IN THIS IN THIS
THE LAST POLICY COMMITTEE THAT
YOU HAVE BEFORE THE FLOOR WELL
WE ARE A NEED. IT THAT WE HAVE A
YEAR AND IF IT TAKES TWO THEN
WE'RE CERTAINLY HAPPY TO GO TO
THE BUREAU AND SEE IF THAT'S HOW
HOW LONG IT TAKES WE DID NOT
HEAR THAT WE ARE THAT FROM THE
COMMITTEE AND NOT. DIRECTLY FROM
THE BUREAU OKAY. I'LL CERTAINLY
. BE WATCHING ON THE FLOOR TO
SEE IF THE SHE BECOMES AN AND I
THINK THEY NEED TO BE A LOT
MORE. MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME FOR
ME HE SAID THAT I HAVE. WORKED.
BUT TO DO IT WE'RE HAPPY TO DO
IT WE ARE HAPPY TO DO IT. THANK
THANK YOU CENTER CENTER WILK.
LOBOS AVENUE. SO THIS BILL IS
GOING TO COST ME MY- BECAUSE NOW
I'M GONNA HAVE TO. MY WILL
TESTAMENT SO. YOU FOR THAT
INSTANTLY WHEN ASSEMBLY WOMAN-
WENT. LIKE EVERYBODY I'M VERY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS- ADDICTS
GREAT IDEA. IF YOU I. P.
PROBABLY GO HAVE TO MINNESOTA
LOVE TO BE A- IS A- AUTHOR. OPEN
TO THAT CERTAINLY IT COMES. LOVE
TO ADD AN HAPPY TO. FOR THAT AND
- BOTH THE PEOPLE THAT MY WIFE
IS LEFT ME FOR. THIS TO GO TO
OUR OUR- BACK EAST AND I'M NOT
UPS ABOUT THAT BUT I'M UP SO SHE
TOOK THE- DOG. SO I'D RATHER BE
BURIED MY DOGS AND MY WHY. SO
THAT. I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL. I WOULD LOOK IS IN A GOOD
MOOD CENTER LOW. SO IN. IN THIS
COMMITTEE AND IN THE G.
COMMITTEE- IT'S ALWAYS IN.
BECAUSE WE- CONSIDER SOME
DIFFERENT I AND SOMETIME. I TO
MYSELF I NEVER THOUGHT OF. AND
WE I SAW THIS I KNOW THOUGHT OF
THAT NEVER OCCURRED TO ME- I'VE
HAD PETS- BUT CERTAINLY NEVER.
OCCURRED TO ME THAT THEY WOULD
BE BURIED WITH ME AND- IT ISN'T
A BIG DEAL FOR ME BUT I KNOW
WITH SOME PEOPLE IT IS PEOPLE
ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT. THEIR PETS
- BUT OTHER THAN THAT WHAT I
LIKE ABOUT THIS BILL. IS IT IS
NOT. HEAVILY REGULATORY YOU'RE
LEAVING IT UP TO THE CEMETERIES
TO MAKE THIS BY- I THINK
VIRTUALLY ALL THE DECISIONS AS
AN EXAMPLE WHAT IF IT WERE A
DRAFT WELL THE CEMETERY SHOULD
DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A- THEY
COULD HANDLE THE GIRAFFE AND IF
THEY CAN'T THEY SAY NO NOT A
DRAFT BUT YOU'RE TWO HOURS MORE
THAN. WELCOME BUT- CIRCUMSTANCES
ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. ADD
TO ADD EACH- CEMETERY SO AS WE
REVIEW AMENDMENTS THAT MIGHT.
ENCOURAGE THE BUREAU TO GET MORE
INVOLVED WITH THE FIGHTING THESE
DETAILS I WOULD URGE- A VERY
LIGHT HAND ON THAT. BECAUSE
AGAINST EACH CEMETERY IS QUITE
DIFFERENT AND I WOULD SUGGEST
NOBODY IS MORE SENSITIVE. TO THE
INTERESTS AND THE FEELINGS OF
FAMILY MEMBERS OF THOSE WHO ARE
ALREADY IN TURN THERE THAN THE
CEMETERY ITSELF SO I WOULD
ENCOURAGE A VERY LIGHT TOUCH. ON
THE REGULATORY APPROACH. AND I
DO APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING UP
BECAUSE LIKE WHO KNEW THAT THIS
WAS A THING BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY.
A BILL THAT WAS SUGGESTED BY
STAFF MEMBER OF MINE WHO FOUND
OUT THAT- HEARD DEER DOGS WHO
MAYBE SHE LIKES BETTER THAN HER
HUSBAND I'M NOT SURE- COULD NOT
BE. CONVERTED WITH- SO THIS IS
REALLY ORGANIC FROM OUR OFFICE

CHAIR MEMBERS TODAY I AM
VISITING A. B. SEVEN EIGHTY TWO
WHICH WILL ENSURE THAT
PHARMACIES IN CALIFORNIA ARE
ABLE TO CONTINUE FLAVOURING
CHILDREN'S MEDICINE TO MAKE IT
MORE PALATABLE FOR CONSUMPTION.
PHARMACIES PHARMACIES IN

CHILDREN'S LIQUID MEDICATION FOR
DECADES TO SUCCESSFULLY HELP
MILLIONS OF CHILDREN TAKE THE
PRESCRIBED MEDICINES FLAVOURING
OF CHILDREN'S MEDICATIONS HAS
BEEN AUTHORIZED BY THE
CALIFORNIA BOARD OF PHARMACY'S.
SINCE TWENTY FOURTEEN BUT THE
BOARD IS POISED TO REVERSE- I'M
ITS LONGSTANDING POSITION BY
ADOPTING NEW REGULATIONS
PURSUANT TO AB NINE SEVEN THREE
PASSED. IN TWENTY NINETEEN THAT
WOULD IN EFFECT REPEAL THE
EXEMPTION OF SLAVERY IN OF
MEDICATIONS TO PREVENT
CALIFORNIA PHARMACY FROM LOSING
THE ABILITY TO FLAVOR CHILDREN'S
MEDICATION I HAVE BEEN
INTRODUCED AB SEVEN EIGHTY TWO
WHICH CODIFIES THE BOARD OF
PHARMACY REGULATIONS THAT THE
STATE- THE PRACTICE OF
COMPOUNDING MEDICATION DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE PROCESS OF
FLAVORING. CHILDREN'S
MEDICATIONS IN COMMUNITIES-
COMMITTEE WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE MEASURE IS SONYA
FOR THOUGHTS- WITH TEN ACRES
PHARMACY AND MY SECOND WITNESS
IS AARON NORWOOD THANK YOU K.
WITNESSES PLEASE PROCEED. HOW
MAY HOW ARE YOU THIS IS MY FIRST
EVER DOING THIS I THINK EXCITED
- MY NAME IS ON YOUR FOSTER- I
AM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER HE I
AM TEN ACRES. IN THE LAND PARK
AREA. AND WE OPEN A BIT IN
AUGUST TWENTY TWENTY SO RIGHT
THE MIDDLE OF IT AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE FOR IMPLEMENTED
IN OUR PHARMACY WE FLAVOR. AND
WE DID THIS TO OUR COMMUNITY
BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF
FAMILIES- THAT LIVE IN THAT
COMMUNITY AND SO WE WANTED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S THEIR
KIDS WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO GET FLAVORING BECAUSE WE ALL
KNOW WHEN THEY GET SICK THEY NO
ONE WANTS TO REALLY TAKE THEIR
MEDICATIONS. SO WE CONTINUE TO
ADD THIS TO OUR SERVICES WE
DON'T CHARGE OUR PATIENTS FOR IT
IT'S DEFINITELY AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THEM TO GET INVOLVED WITH
THE PHARMACY. AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WE REALLY LIKE ABOUT
IT OTHER THAN THE FAMILIES
COMING IN AND REQUESTING IT IS
THAT OUR CHILDREN HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN
FLAVORING DECISION MAKING SO WE
HAVE A LITTLE. KIND OF IT'S A
LITTLE WILDERNESS CHILDREN CAN
CHOOSE BASED ON THEIR MEDICATION
WHICH ONE THAT THEY WANT CHERRY
WATERMELON GRAPE ALL THOSE SORTS
OF THINGS. AND WE'VE HAD SEVERAL
CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN THIS AND
IT GIVES THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
LIKE I'M GOING TO TAKE THIS
MEDICATION AND I'M GONNA TAKE IT
BECAUSE IT'S FLAVORED WITH
SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO THEIR
PARTICIPATING. IN THE PROCESS OF
TAKING THEIR MEDICATIONS WE'VE
HAD SEVERAL CHILDREN OVER THE
PAST FEW WEEKS AND MONTHS THAT
HAVE HAD SEVERE EAR INFECTIONS
IF AND IF YOU HAVE GRANDCHILDREN
OR CHILDREN YOU UNDERSTAND. AND
THEY HAVE COME IN WITH MULTIPLE
TYPES OF DIFFERENT. MEDICATIONS
THAT YOU MIX. AND BECAUSE YOU'RE
ABLE TO CHOOSE WHAT TYPE OF
MEDICATIONS THAT THEY HAVE.
THEIR LONG LESS LIKELY TO NOT
TAKE THE MEDICATION BECAUSE THEY
ENJOY THE FLAVOR A FLAVOR R.
ACTS. AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT.
FAVORITE STAYS IN MY PHARMACY
BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I CAN DROP PARENTS AND

MISTER SENATOR SAID TO STAR OFF
BY THING. YOU MISTER IN THE CA
STAFF FOR THE UPPER TO TAKE THE
AMENDMENTS FROM THE DENTAL BOARD
OF CALIFORNIA TO RESOLVE THE
OUTSTANDING POLICY
IMPLEMENTATION CONCERNS. AND
HOPEFULLY EARN YOUR SUPPORT AND
THAT ALSO BRINGS- THE BOARD TO A
SUPPORT POSITION I'M PROUD TO
PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL FOUR
EIGHTY ONE. WHICH WILL CREATE
NEW PASSED TO BECOMING A
REGISTERED DENTAL ASSISTANT AND
EXPAND THE EXISTING DUTIES OF
DENTAL ASSISTANCE BOTH
INCREASING ACCESS TO CARE AND
MAKING THE CAREER LADDER MORE
ATTRACTIVE. DENTAL CARE JUST
LIKE OTHER HEALTHCARE FIELDS ARE
FACING A WORKFORCE SHORTAGE THAT
ONLY GROWS THE ONLY GOT WORSE
ACTUALLY THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC
CURRENTLY THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO
BECOME A REGISTERED DENTAL
ASSISTANT. THROUGH EDUCATION
PROGRAMS ARE ON THE JOB TRAINING
HOWEVER AFFORDABLE EDUCATION
PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN HARD TO COME
BY AND ON THE JOB TRAINING CAN
TAKE A YEAR AND A HALF TO
COMPLETE. AB FORTY ONE WOULD
CREATE A NEW PATHWAY TO
REGISTERED DENTAL NOT DENTAL
ASSISTANT LICENSURE. ALLOWING
DENTAL ASSISTANTS TO RECEIVE PAY
WHILE TRAINING FOR THE RDA
LICENSE IN ADDITION TO A PATHWAY
TO REGIONAL OCCUPATION IN ADULT
EDUCATION PROGRAMS. CALIFORNIA
HAS THREE CLASSIFICATION FOR
DENTAL ASSISTANTS UNLICENSED
DENTAL ASSISTANTS REGISTERED
DENTAL ASSISTANTS AND REGISTERED
DENTAL ASSISTANTS AND EXTENDED
FUNCTION. THIS SCAFFOLD OF
DENTAL ASSISTING PROFESSIONS
CREATE THE CAREER LADDER THAT
ALLOWS IT TO INDIVIDUALS TO.
ADVANCE THEIR SKILLS
RESPONSIBILITY AND COMPENSATION
AS THEIR CAREER PROGRESSES. THIS
BILL ISN'T ABOUT SHUTTING ANYONE
OUT WORKFORCE SHORTAGES MEANS
THAT CALIFORNIA NEEDS. AND ALL
OF THE ABOVE APPROACH AND THAT
IS WHAT THIS BILL DOES IT
MAINTAINS THE HIGHEST STANDARDS
OF CARE AND ACCESS THE
CALIFORNIANS EXPECT. BY ENSURING
DENTAL ASSISTANTS ARE ABLE TO
FULLY BE TRAINED AND LICENSED
QUICKLY. TO MEET WORKFORCE
DEMANDS WHILE AT THE SAME TIME
REINFORCING THE GROWTH
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE DENTAL
ASSISTING CAREER LADDER AND
DIVERSIFYING THE PRINT THAT
PROFESSION. HERE TO TALK MORE
ABOUT THE NEED OF THIS BILL AND
ANSWER ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
IS JUST COMING ON. LEGISLATIVE
ADVOCATE WITH CALIFORNIA DON'T
IS. AND MERRIMENT. A POLICY
DIRECTOR FOR THE CALIFORNIA
DENTAL ASSOCIATION. WELCOME
PLEASE PROCEED GOOD MORNING.
MEMBERS JUST COMMAND OF
CALIFORNIA DENTAL ASSOCIATION
HERE TODAY AS A SPONSOR IS AB
FORTY ONE. AS THE ASSEMBLY WOMAN
MENTIONED CALIFORNIA HAS SET
PRESIDENT OF HAVING THE MOST
EXPENSIVE CLASSIFICATIONS AND
SCOPE OF DUTY PRACTICES FOR
DENTAL IS THE ASSISTANCE IN THE
NATION. THIS CREATES A UNIQUE
CAREER LADDER FOR THOSE WHO WISH
ADVANCE A CAREER IN THE
PROFESSION. THE ROLE THAT-
ASSISTING CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED
AS THEY'RE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS
THE RIGHT HAND OF THE DENTIST.
THE PREFERRED RATIO OF GENERAL
ASSISTANCE PER DENTIST IN AN
OFFICE IS TWO TO ONE HOWEVER
RECENT DATA FROM THE DENTAL
BOARD OF CALIFORNIA SHOWS THAT
NEARLY HALF THE STATE'S FIFTY
EIGHT COUNTIES ARE NOT CURRENTLY
MEETING ABOUT THRESHOLD. THE
WORKER SHORTAGE IMPACTS US
ACCESS TO CARE AS DENTISTS ARE
NOT ABLE TO SEE AS MANY PATIENTS
DO SO LACK OF DENTAL ASSISTANTS.
AB FORTY ONE AM SO DRESS TO WORK
FOR A SHORTAGE RECRUITING THREE
NEW PATHWAYS TO LICENSURE. THESE
NEW PATHWAYS- INNOVATIVE ENOUGH
TO EXPAND OPPORTUNITIES FOR ON
THE JOB TRAINING MEETING
INDIVIDUALS WHERE THEY ARE IN
LIFE AND IN TURN DIVERSIFYING
THE WORKFORCE. THE BILL ALSO
MAKES IT NECESSARY AND OVERDUE
CHANGES A DENTAL ASSISTANT SCOPE
OF PRACTICE. THE SCOPE OF
PRACTICE FOR DENNIS. IS UNIQUE
IN THAT YOU'VE PERMITTED DUTY
MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY DELINEATED
AND STACHEL. AB FOUR ONE WILL
CLARIFY IN MODERNIZE THE SCOPE
OF PRACTICE DO USE FOR ALL
LEVELS OF. ASSIST TO REFER NEED
FOR. AND PROFESSION. I LIKE TO
CLOSE I THINK IN THE MANY STATE.
IN THE DENTAL FOR THEIR- INTO.
AND DROPPING SLIGHTEST. WHAT
DOES THE WORK FORCE. IS GOING TO

HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY AND
ABILITY TO HAVE THAT WORKFORCE
AVAILABLE. ESPECIALLY FOR LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES I WOULD ALSO
SAY THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY

HELLO MISTER KAREN MEMBERS. AB
AT TEN FIFTY NINE PROHIBITS THE
SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF JUDE
JUVENILE PRODUCTS MATTRESSES AND
UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE THAT
CONTAINS FIBRE GLASS. AND ALSO
RESTRICTS THE USE OF FLAME
RETARDANT CHEMICALS IN ADULT
MATTRESSES. WHILE THE ORIGINAL
FOCUS OF THIS BILL WAS JUST
FIBERGLASS AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD WE BECAME AWARE OF OTHER
FLAME RETARDANT CHEMICAL ISSUES
WITH MATTRESSES. IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN AB TWENTY NINETY EIGHT
WAS SIGNED INTO LAW WHICH BANNED
THE USE OF FLAME RETARDANT
CHEMICALS IN THE PHONE PART OF
MATTRESSES WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY
THE INNER PART OF MATTRESSES BUT
STILL ALLOWED FLAME RETARDANT
CHEMICALS ON THE OTHER
COMPONENTS OF MATTRESSES. IN
ORDER TO ELIMINATE ANY
REGRETTABLE SUBSTITUTION
PROBLEMS THAT MIGHT ARISE FROM
BANNING THE USE OF FIBERGLASS
WE'RE EXTENDING THAT BAN TO THE
REST OF THE MATTRESSES THAT
THEY'RE NOT SUBSTITUTING ONE
HARMFUL PRODUCT WITH ANOTHER-
BOTH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS SET
STANDARDS THAT LIMIT
FLAMMABILITY WITH MATTRESSES AS
WE SHOULD HAVE. AND FOR A LONG
TIME TOXIC FLAME RETARDANT
CHEMICALS WERE USED TO MEET THE
STANDARDS BUT IN RECOGNITION OF
THEIR HEALTH IMPACTS THE LAWS
AND REGULATIONS WERE CHANGED AT
BOTH THE FEDERAL AND THE STATE
LEVEL TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF
THESE CHEMICALS YOU KNOW WE
CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO BE LYING
ON SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW IS
TOXIC TO HUMANS AND AS BAD
HEALTH OF BOX. WE DON'T WANT
KIDS CHEWING ON MATTRESSES THAT
HAVE THIS. AND SO WHAT HAPPENED
WAS SOME COMPANY STARTED
SUBSTITUTING FIBERGLASS FOR
FLAME RETARDANTS. NOW FIBERGLASS
LIKE ASBESTOS AND OTHER
CHEMICALS CAN- WE CAN CAUSE A
LOT OF HARM IF IT GETS INTO YOUR
LUNGS. IT CAN CAUSE IRRITATION
IT CAN CAUSE A LOT WORSE-
AFFECTS IT'S MADE OUT OF SILICA
SAND LIMESTONE RECYCLE GLASS AND
SODA ASH. AND HAS A LIFESPAN OF
OVER FIFTY YEARS. NOW SOMETIMES
PEOPLE UNZIP MATTRESSES AND
UNINTENTIONALLY EXPOSE
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS TO THIS
CHEMICALS. SOMETIMES IT LEACHES
THROUGH I'M IT'S BEEN DETECTED
OUTSIDE OF MATTRESSES ON THE
SURFACE. RATHER CHEN JUST INSIDE
AND CERTAINLY IT'S A HAZARD TO
PEOPLE WHO ARE DISSEMBLING
MATTRESSES FOR- FOR RECYCLING
EFFORTS. LONG TERM X. TO FOR. IS
ASSOCIATE WITH THE WONDER. IN
PULMONARY. AND SHORT HEARD
IMMOLATION TO FIBERGLASS CAN
CAUSE LUNG INFLAMMATION AND
BRONCHIAL BRONCHIAL TITUS.
FIBERGLASS FIBERS CAN CAUSE
VISUAL CHANGES BLEEDING AND
SCARRING IF THEY GET EMBEDDED IN
YOUR EYES WE DON'T WANT THIS NO
MATTRESSES I KNOW NONE OF YOU
WANT THIS IN YOUR MATTRESS AND
IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARILY
NECESSARILY ONLY 13% OF
MATTRESSES. HAVE THE FIBERGLASS.
MATTRESSES NOW WERE MADE VERY
SAFELY USING OTHER KINDS OF
THERMAL BARRIERS- WITH LATEX
WITH WOOL THERE'S A LOT OF
NATURAL MATERIALS THAT ARE NOW
BEING USED AND SO WE KNOW THAT
THIS IS UNNECESSARY. IT SHOULD
BE BANNED OUR MATCHES THE SHOULD
BE SAFE. AND WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE
INTERNATIONAL SLEEP PRODUCTS
ASSOCIATION SINCE THE BILL'S
INTRODUCTION. THEY SHARE OUR
GOAL OF GETTING RID OF
FIBERGLASS FOR MATTRESSES AND
THEY'VE BEEN GREAT TO WORK WITH.
AS THE ANALYSIS POINTS OUT THE
REMAINING ISSUE FOR THEM IS
WHETHER TO ALLOW AN EXEMPTION.
PERMATA ACRYLIC FIBERS AT THIS
TIME WE'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH
ADDING THAT BECAUSE NEW YORK
STATE HAS BANNED IT AND WE'RE
STILL TRYING TO GET MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REASONS
WHY. BUT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH BIG
MATTRESS ON THIS TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT OF OUR SPONSOR
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP IS
BILL ELLIOTT AND JORDAN WELLS
WITH THE NATIONAL STEWARDSHIP
ACTION COUNCIL. AND I WOULD
REQUEST YOUR I. BOATS THAT WE
CAN ALL SLEEP BETTER. THANK YOU
PLEASE PROCEED. GOOD MORNING
SHARON MEMBERS I AM BILL ELIA
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING
GROUP- I THINK THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LAID OUT THE ISSUES HERE-
I WANT TO SAY SINCE THE LAST
COMMITTEE ALL TESTIFY IN THAT.
THIS IS BEEN AN UNUSUALLY GOOD
WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH WHAT
COULD BE AN OPPONENT AND THEY
ARE OPPOSED. IN MY- TWENTY NINE
YEARS OF LOBBYING IT'S BEEN ONE
OF THE BEST AND WE'RE SHARING
SCIENCE SHARING OUR EXPERTS. AND
TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS AND
THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT'S
INNOVATIVE THEY'VE DONE THE BAD
IN A BOX I DON'T KNOW IF ANY IF
YOU'VE OPENED UP. CARDBOARD BOX
AND HAD A MATTRESS APPEAR THEY
CAN DO THAT. AND THEY'RE DOING A
LOT. OF THINGS ON INNOVATION AND
THEY'RE VERY AWARE OF. THE
CONSUMERS DON'T WANT TALK AND-
IN MATTRESSES SO. WE FOCUS
AGREEMENT FIBER. AND WE'RE
WORKING ON THE LAST ONE THAT ONE
FIBER SLASH CHEMICAL CALLED
MONOCHROME LOOKS AND WE'RE CLOSE
ON THAT WE HOPE TO RESOLVE THIS
BY. APPROPRIATIONS THANK YOU
VERY MUCH THANK YOU THANKS FOR
YOUR EFFORT NEXT. THANK YOU TURN
MEMBERS I'M JORDAN WELLS AND ON
BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL STORAGE
ACTION COUNCIL AND WE'RE A
NONPROFIT THAT ADVOCATES FOR AN
EQUITABLE CIRCULAR ECONOMY. I
ALSO SET ON THE STATE'S. A
MATTRESS ADVISORY COMMITTEE
WHICH ADVISES THE MATTRESS
RECYCLING COUNCIL AS IT
IMPLEMENTS THE STATE WIDE
MATTRESS STEWARDSHIP. PROGRAM
THAT WAS CREATED BY LAW PASSED
BY THE LEGISLATURE IN TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN. WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT AB FIFTEEN TEN FIFTY
NINE. WHICH WOULD BAN TEXTILE
FIBERGLASS MATTRESSES
UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE AND
JUVENILE PRODUCTS AND RESTRICT
THE USE OF FLAME RETARDANT
CHEMICALS AND ADULT MATTRESSES.
THE FIRST PILLAR OF ACHIEVING AN
EQUITABLE AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
IS TO DESIGN A WASTE AND
POLLUTION OUT OF THE SYSTEM.
WHICH IS FAR LESS EXPENSIVE THAN
HAVING TO PAY FOR CLEANUP. FLAME
RETARDANTS AND FIBERGLASS
NEGATIVELY IMPACT HUMAN AND
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH. AND THEY
ALSO COMPLICATE THE RECYCLING
SYSTEM. ADDING CHALLENGES FOR
RECYCLERS AND INCREASING COSTS
AS STIPULATED BY TERRY MCDONALD
WHO ALSO SITS ON THE MATTRESS
ADVISORY COUNCIL AND IS
REPRESENTS THE LARGEST. MATTRESS
RECYCLER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
EIGHTY TEN FIFTY NINE WILL
PROTECT CONSUMERS AND RECYCLING
WORKERS FROM HARMFUL ADDITIVES
THAT ALSO MAKE RECYCLING MORE
EXPENSIVE. I WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR HER
LEADERSHIP AND RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU ANY
OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT IN

ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE I JUST I ONCE AGAIN
WANT TO THANK THE INTERNATIONAL
SLEEP PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION FOR
CARING SO MUCH ABOUT A PUBLIC
HEALTH. AND FOR THE EFFORTS OF
THEIR MEMBERS AND THEIR
WILLINGNESS TO MAKE THEIR
PRODUCTS AS GOOD AS THEY CAN
POSSIBLY BE. OKAY THE BILL'S
BEEN MOVED BY SENATOR BAKER THE
MOTION IS TO PASS TO SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL BAR HI ROTH I WENT. NEVADA

ASHBY ASHBY I. BAKER. BAKER AYE
DODD EGGMAN EGGMAN AYE GLAZER
NAY LOW. ROBERT RIVAS SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS IOWA HAN. WELCOME ALL
RIGHT LOOK AT. THE BILL HAS
VOTES WILL HOLD THE ROLE OPEN
FOR ABSENT. AND YOUR NEXT ITEM
NUMBER SIX A. B. THIRTEEN NINETY
NINE THANK YOU VETERINARY
MEDICINE. SO MANY OF YOU HAVE
PROBABLY USE A TELEHEALTH FOR
YOURSELF OR FOR A FAMILY MEMBER
IN FACT IF YOU HAVE A BABY WHO'S
GOT A RASH THESE DAYS YOU CAN
ACTUALLY ASK FOR TELEHEALTH
APPOINTMENT- PUT YOUR BABY UP TO
THE SCREEN AND SHOW IT TO THE
DOCTOR WHO WILL THEN TELL YOU
HEY. YOU BRING JUNIOR IN OR HEY
ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS PUT A
LITTLE DIAPER CREAM ON THAT- BUT
EXCEPT DURING KOBE WE DON'T
ALLOW THE SAME PRACTICE FOR
ANIMALS. IN CALIFORNIA YOU'RE
NOT ALLOWED TO USE OF THAT
TELEHEALTH TO TREAT YOUR ANIMAL
AND WE KNOW THAT IN CALIFORNIA
WE HAVE HUGE ACCESS ISSUES WITH
PEOPLE WHO ARE EITHER THEMSELVES
NOT CAPABLE OF GOING TO THE VET.
MAYBE THEY LIVE TOO FAR AWAY
FROM A VETERINARIAN MAYBE THERE
THEM HAVE MOBILITY ISSUES- MAYBE
FINANCIALLY IT'S DIFFICULT FOR
THEM TO TAKE THEIR VAT OUT ALL
THE TIME WHO WOULD ABSOLUTELY
USE THAT TELEHEALTH AND WE KNOW
THAT BECAUSE DURING COVERT WE
DID ALLOW. THE USE OF THAT
TELEHEALTH AND WE SAW ACCESS
INCREASE IN PEOPLE ACTUALLY
USING THAT SERVICE- AND SO THIS
BILL. WITH ALL OF MY SEVERAL
GUARDRAILS AROUND IT TO PROTECT-
THE ANIMALS AND PROTECT
CONSUMERS. WOULD ALLOW FOR THE
USE OF THAT TELEHEALTH BY
LICENSE THAT'S IN CALIFORNIA
THAT'S WHERE LICENSE WITHIN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IF THEY SO
CHOOSE IT DOESN'T FORCE ANY
VETERINARIAN TO USE THAT
TELEHEALTH IT CERTAINLY DOESN'T
FORCE ANY CONSUMER. BUT IT WOULD
OPEN UP THAT OPTION FOR SOMEBODY
WHO FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.
EITHER CAN'T GO OR FEELS THAT
THEIR PET IS BETTER SERVED BY
STAYING AT HOME BECAUSE OF THE
ISSUES THEY MIGHT HAVE. ANXIETY
OR ILLNESS. OR MOBILITY ISSUES
FOR THAT PAT. US SO- WHO.
BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING VERY CLOSELY ISN'T AS
MUCH AS WE CAN WITH THE
VETERINARY INDUSTRY TO ADDRESS
THEIR CONCERNS. I WANT TO BE
VERY CLEAR THAT THIS BILL IS
BEING SPONSORED. BY THE ASPCA BY
THE HUMANE SOCIETY NOT BY
INDUSTRY- BECAUSE THEY SEE A
NEED FOR ACCESS. FOR OPENING UP
MORE- A SAFE ACCESS FOR PEOPLE
TO BE ABLE TO YOU EMPLOY
DIFFERENT TOOLS. TO CARE FOR
THEIR ANIMALS. WE AMENDED THE
BILL IN JUNE TO ADDRESS MANY OF
THE OPPONENTS CONCERNS. AND WE
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO
WORK WITH THEM IN GOOD FAITH TO
ADDRESS ANY LEGITIMATE CONCERNS
THAT THEY HAVE. I'M A PET OWNER
I HAVE A RESCUE DOG AND I HAVE A
HORSE. AND I KNOW THAT THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN RATHER THAN PUT MY
HUNDRED TWENTY POUND DOG- INTO A
CAR I MIGHT WANT TO ASK THE VET
WHETHER I REALLY SHOULD BE
BRINGING HIM IN. I KNOW WITH MY
HORSE I CAN TELL YOU A LITTLE
SECRET FROM A LOT OF HORSE
OWNERS GIVEN THE COST OF HAVING
THAT'S COME OUT BECAUSE IT'S ALL
HOUSE CALLS. THERE ARE A LOT OF
TIMES FOR HORSE OWNERS WILL SAY
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP AN EYE ON
THIS FOR A FEW DAYS ONE BELIEVE
ME THERE ARE TIMES WHERE I'D
RATHER JUST GET OF. ON ASSUME
AND SHOW THEM WHAT'S HAPPENING
AND LET THEM MAKE THE DECISION
ABOUT WHETHER I NEED TO MAKE
THAT CALL. OUR FOR THEM OR
WHETHER IT REALLY CAN WAIT A FEW
DAYS SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WOULD REALLY ACCESS MORE CARE
FOR ANIMALS. NOT LESS CARE WE
KNOW IT'S SAFE BECAUSE IT'S BEEN
DONE IN SEVERAL OTHER STATES AND
THERE'S BEEN NO REPORTS OF HARM.
BECAUSE OF THIS PRACTICE. SO I
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE WHEN THE BILLS UP FOR A
VOTE LOOKING FORWARD TO THE
CONVERSATION. TESTIFYING IN
SUPPORT THIS MORNING AS BRITNEY
INSIDE WITH THE ASPCA. AND DR
CHRISTINE LONG FOR MODERN ANIMAL
. PLEASE PROCEED IN READING.
GOOD MORNING OR NOW AFTERNOON
SHARE ROTH AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE BRITNEY BENNETT C. ON
BEHALF OF THE ASPCA. EVERY YEAR
THOUSANDS OF ANIMALS NEEDLESSLY
SUFFER EXPERIENCE PREMATURE
DEATH. OR RELINQUISH TOUR
SHELTERS DUE TO THE EXISTING
GAPS IN VETERINARY CARE ACCESS.
AB THIRTEEN NINETY NINE WILL
OFFER A LIFELINE TO THESE OFTEN
OVERLOOKED PETS AND THEIR
FAMILIES. THE SPCA RECENTLY
RELEASED SURVEY DATA OUT WHERE
IN TWO OUT OF THREE RESPONSE IT.
RESPONDED TO IT HAD TROUBLE
ACCESSING THAT CARE IN THE PAST
TWO YEARS SAID THAT THEY WOULD
USE. ODD THEIR PET WOULD SEE A
VET MORE OFTEN IF TELEHEALTH
WERE AVAILABLE. WITH
CALIFORNIA'S AND REASONABLY
STRINGENT REGULATIONS
PROHIBITING THE USE OF
TELEHEALTH TO ESTABLISH A
RELATIONSHIP AND REQUIRING AND
NEW. IN PERSON EXAM FOR EVERY
NEW ELEMENT. IT IS CLEAR WE ARE
LEAVING A KEY TOOL OUT OF THE
VET CARE TOOL KIT. ONE THAT AS A
FAMILY MEMBER FRIEDMAN NOTED AS
BEING SAFELY DEPLOYED IN OTHER
STATES. AND THIS TOOL IS SAFE
AND EFFECTIVE I AS I THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER SAID THERE'S NOT
BEEN A SINGLE REPORT OF HARM
TIED TO TELEHEALTH. AB THIRTEEN
NINETY NINE REQUIRES THAT THAT
TO PRACTICE TELEHEALTH BE
LICENSED IN THE STATE THAT THEY
ARE ABLE TO SEE OR FOR A PATIENT
TO A LOCAL OR NEARBY THAT WHEN
NEEDED. PROHIBITS THE-
PRESCRIBING OF CONTROLLED
SUBSTANCES WITHOUT AN IN PERSON
EXAM AND INCLUDES ROBUST
INFORMED CONSENT PROVISIONS. FOR
THE ONE IN THREE PETS WHO ARE
CURRENTLY NOT RECEIVING REGULAR
VET CARE. AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO
ARE HAVING TROUBLE ACCESSING IT
WHETHER YOU LIVE IN OF THAT
DESERT OR UNDERSERVED AREA. HAVE
MOBILITY PROBLEMS OR LACK OF
TRANSPORTATION ARE UNABLE TO
TAKE TIME OFF WORK OR SIMPLY
HAVE A PET WHO GET STRESSED
GOING TO THE VET. THIS BILL WILL
OFFER I WILL IMPROVE ACCESS TO
THAT CARE FOR ANIMALS FOR YOUR
ANIMAL AND CALIFORNIA'S LICENSE
PLATE SHOULD BE TRUSTED TO USE
THAT. WE'RE GRATEFUL TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN AND ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LOWENTHAL FOR RECOGNIZING
THE URGENT CARE I NEEDED IN
CALIFORNIA. AB THIRTEEN NINETY
NINE WILL NOT REPLACE IN PERSON
EXAMS IT WILL EMPOWER LICENSE
CALIFORNIA VETS WHO. WANT TO
AUTOMATICALLY YOUR PROBE CARE
TELE. A LIFELINE CAL. PAD ON AND
ARE. CAN THANK. THANK YOU NEXT
PLEASE.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS MY NAME IS CHRISTY LONG
I'VE BEEN A LICENSED PRACTICING
SMALL ANIMAL VETERINARIAN SINCE
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN. I'M VICE
PRESIDENT OF MEDICINE FOR MODERN
ANIMAL WHICH IS A SMALL ANIMAL
VETERINARY PRACTICE. WE HAVE SIX
PRACTICES IN THE LOS ANGELES
AREA AND FOUR IN THE BAY AREA.
SERVING TWENTY SIX THOUSAND
HUMANS AND TWENTY TWO THOUSAND
ANIMALS. I PREVENTIVE CARE
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING SURGERY AND
DENTISTRY FOR DOGS AND CATS OF
ALL AGES. I STARTED MY OWN
ANIMAL BECAUSE OF THE
DIFFICULTIES OF ACCESSING AND OF
PROVIDING QUALITY VETERINARY
CARE IN AMERICA FOR THE CONSUMER
AND FOR THE VETERINARIAN. MY
FIELD IS NOT KEPT PACE WITH THE
GROWTH IN PET OWNERSHIP AND
WE'RE UNDER TREMENDOUS STRAIN IS
A WORK FORCE TO ENSURE ACCESS TO
CARE. DURING THE COPA NINETY
PANDEMIC WE ARE INUNDATED WITH
PATIENTS AND HAD NO AVAILABLE
APPOINTMENTS FOR WEEKS. DURING
THIS TIME THE CALIFORNIA BETTER
MEDICAL BOARD RELAX ITS
INTERPRETATION OF HOW A
VETERINARIAN CLIENT PATIENT
RELATIONSHIP VSEPR. COULD BE
ESTABLISHED IN THE INTEREST OF
REDUCING UNNECESSARY
INTERACTIONS. DURING THE YEAR
AND A HALF FOR THIS RESTRICTION
WAS WAVE WE REDUCE THE NUMBER OF
VISITS TO THE CLINIC THAT A
PATIENT AND ITS OWNER NEEDED TO
MAKE PROVIDING MORE AVAILABILITY
FOR THOSE ACTUALLY NEEDED TO
COMMENT. OUR LICENSE
VETERINARIANS MADE THESE
DECISIONS IN CASES WHERE IT WAS
APPROPRIATE BASED ON ASSESSMENT
OVER VIDEO USING THEIR SKILLS
AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO DO SO.
OUR CLIENTS DEEPLY VALUE THE
ABILITY TO DISCUSS OUR PETS
ISSUES WITHOUT HAVING TO COME
INTO OUR CLINIC UNLESS
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY WE DO NOT
HAVE A SINGLE SUB STANDARD
PATIENT OUTCOME RELATED
UTILIZING THIS NEW TEMPORARY OF
THE WORK. UNFORTUNATELY AS THE
PANDEMIC WAS WINDING DOWN THE
VETERINARY MEDICAL BOARD
REINSTATED THE PANT PREPENDED
MICROS GOVERNING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE CPR. AS A
RESULT EVEN I IF I EXAMINE A
PATIENT IN PERSON TOMORROW AND A
NEW PROBLEM CROPS UP ON
WEDNESDAY. I WOULD HAVE TO SEE
THAT PATIENT AND ITS OWNER IN
PERSON AGAIN. IN ORDER TO RENDER
A DIAGNOSIS AND PRESCRIBE
TREATMENT REGARDLESS OF MY
MEDICAL JUDGMENT. CALIFORNIA
REGULATIONS ARE AGAIN PREVENTING
ME AND MY DOCTOR SHOULD HELPING
BOTH THE PATIENTS WE KNOW. AND
THE ONES WE DON'T YET KNOW. AS A
VETERINARIAN I TOOK AN OATH TO
THE PRODUCTION OF ANIMAL HEALTH
AND WELFARE AND THE PREVENTION
OF ANIMAL- SUFFERING. TRUST ME
ANOTHER CALIFORNIA VETERINARIANS
DOZENS OF WHOM HAD ALREADY
EXPRESSED THEIR SUPPORT FOR THIS
BILL. THE USER SCHOOLING
EXPERIENCE AND LICENSURE TO MAKE
A DECISION. IS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF ALL CONCERNED. AS TO

SHOULD NOT BE. THANK YOU. THANK

THANK YOU SIR. NEXT PLEASE. OKAY
LET'S TURN TO WITNESSES IN

MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
I'M DR KEITH BRODY AND IMMEDIATE
PAST PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
AND I'M A SMALL ANIMAL
VETERINARIAN AND WOODLAND. THE
CDMA HAS BEEN POSING LESS
AMENDED POSITION ON THE JUNE
TWENTY EIGHTH VERSION OF AB
THIRTEEN NINETY NINE. MISTER
CHAIR I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
SPENDING TIME WITH THE
OPPOSITION LOBBYIST LAST WEEK WE
APPRECIATE THE LEADERSHIP AND
YOUR INTEREST IN NARROWING THE
BILL AND LIMITING THE AREAS IN
WHICH TELEMEDICINE CAN BE USED.
WE ALSO WANT TO THANK YOUR
CONSULTANT ALYSSA SILVA ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR
CONVERSATIONS HELD TODAY. AS A
CDMA HAS BEEN CAUTIONING FOR
WEEKS IF THIS WERE JUST A BILL
ABOUT BRICK AND MORTAR
VETERINARY OFFICES ENGAGING WITH
CLIENTS VIA TELEMEDICINE THE
VMAS POSITION WOULD BE
DIFFERENT. INSTEAD THIS IS A
BILL BEING DRIVEN BY OUT OF
STATE TELEMEDICINE APP COMPANIES
LIKE TOUCHING TO WE WHO HAVE
BEEN TRYING SIMILAR LEGISLATION
IN OTHER STATES. AS AN EXAMPLE
OF MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES RECEIVE
THIS EMAIL ON SATURDAY FROM THE
OWNER OF DUTCH THING HE'S
WORKING WITH THE SPONSORS ASKING
VETERINARIANS TO CALLING TO
TODAY'S HEARING AND SUPPORT AND
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL. AND
WANTING THEM TO INFORM. HIM
DIRECTLY OF THEIR INTENT TO DO
SO. EACH OF YOUR OFFICES WAS
GIVEN A COPY OF A NEWS ARTICLE.
TALKING ABOUT THE DECLINE OF
FUZZY A TELEMEDICINE COMPANY IN
SAN FRANCISCO THE COMPANY JUST
WENT BELLY UP AFTER AN EIGHTY
MILLION DOLLAR INFUSION OF
CAPITAL LEAVING PETS IN
CONSUMERS WITHOUT RECOURSE. AND
THEIR WORKERS WITHOUT A FIGHT
WITHOUT A FINAL PAYCHECK
ACCORDING TO EMPLOYEES. THESE
ARE REAL WORLD CONSEQUENCES
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RISKY BELL.
THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THESE THAT
COMPANIES ARE LOOKING TO TAKE
YOUR BUSINESS. TAKE BUSINESS
AWAY FROM HARD WORKING
VETERINARIANS IN YOUR DISTRICT
AND WE QUESTION IF THEY CARE
MORE ABOUT ANIMALS FOR PROFIT
MARGINS AND BOOSTING
SUBSCRIPTION MEMBERSHIPS. THE
ALBUM PLEASE LIKELY WON'T LIVE
HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND THEY WILL
BE DIAGNOSING YOUR DOG OR CAT
FROM THE COMFORT OF ANOTHER
STATE. ALL THE WHILE THEY'LL BE
GUESSING OVER VIDEO LINK WHAT IS
WRONG WITH YOUR PET A PET THAT
THEY'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND
THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO
PRESCRIBE DRUGS IN PERPETUITY.
VETERINARY MEDICINE IS COMPLEX I
PERSONALLY RECENTLY SAW A DOG
THAT WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THE
OWNER WAS SURE IT HAD ARTHRITIS
INSTEAD MY PHYSICAL EXAM
REVEALED A LARGE TUMOUR IN THIS
PLANE THAT HAD JUST STARTED TO
BLEED. THIS IS PRETTY SERIOUS
STUFF. THE CMA'S REQUESTED MOST
OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT APPEAR IN
YOUR IN AND ALL THIS IS ON PAGE
FOURTEEN AND WE ARE GRATEFUL TO
SEE THEM HIGHLIGHTED. OUR
ASSOCIATION IS PREPARED TO ROLL
UP OUR SLEEVES AND GET TO WORK
BUT WE WILL SERIOUSLY NEED THE
HELP OF THIS COMMITTEE. TO GET
TO A PLACE OF COMPROMISE. THIS
IS A HEAVY LIFT MADE HEAVIER BY
THE INFLUENCE OF THE
TELEMEDICINE APP COMPANIES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU SIR
NEXT PLEASE. GOOD AFTERNOON ON
OUR CHAIRMAN. MY NAME IS THE
PURPOSE FERMENTUM EXECUTIVE. OF
THE VETERINARY. BOARD FOR SELECT
FIRST LA TO THANK ME SAMPLES A
SUBURB. HER VERY THOROUGH
THOUGHTFUL. WE DON'T LIKE TO
THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRIEDMAN
AND HER TEAM FOR THE WEALTHIEST
DOING. IN THOUGHTFUL DISCUSS.
ABOUT THIS VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE
THE BOARD IS GRATEFUL THE AUTHOR
DID ACCEPT MANY OF THE BOARD'S
REQUEST IN A MOMENT. HOWEVER ONE
SIGNIFICANT CONCERN REMAINS. AND
AS SUCH WE MAINTAIN OUR OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION. THE
BOARD IS VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF
TELEMEDICINE. VETERINARIANS HAVE
BEEN USING TELEMEDICINE FOR
YEARS AS A TOOL. TO PROVIDE CARE
WITHIN AN EXISTING VETERINARY
CLIENT PATIENT RELATIONSHIP. AS
NOTED THE COMMITTEE NOW SAYS THE
THAT BE CPR CAN ONLY BE
ESTABLISHED IN THE NATIONAL
HANDS ON EXAMINATION. THAT HANDS
ON EXAMINATION IS CRITICAL TO
DIAGNOSING CONDITIONS AND ANIMAL
PATIENTS PRIMARILY BECAUSE
ANIMALS CANNOT SPEAK. AND DO NOT
EXHIBIT PAIN. LIKE APPS LIKE
HUMANS. HI TO ME DOING THE BOARD
WE HAD A BY. THAT THAT GOT AS A
PUPPY WHEN MY WAS. WHEN MY SON
BOX OR A YEARS OLD OUR BOXER.
PALM WORKING. A FEW DAYS LATE
SHE STARTED WITH A AND I TOOK A
TO THE VET. NOW I AM A STUPIDLY
BUSY. FULL WORK MOM. OF SOME OF
THEIR WORK. I'M AND I WOULD HAVE
JUMPED AT THE OPPORTUNITY OF
USING TELEMEDICINE RATHER THAN
TAKE A FULL DAY OFF WORK. TO GO
TO THE VET. I WOULD LOVE TO USE
MY PHONE TO SHOW A VIDEO ROCKS
THE LIMPING. IN ON OUR POT GET
SOME MEDS AND MOVE ON. HOWEVER
IF I HAD DONE NOT THE VENDOR IN
WHAT I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT
HIS HANDS ON ROXY. AND FILL A
MASS UNDER TEST THAT WE HAD
MISSED. SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER
BEEN PROPERLY DIAGNOSED WITH
BONE CANCER OR GIVEN THE
TREATMENT SHE NEEDED TO EASE HER
PAIN THAT SHE HAD BEEN MASKING
FOR MONTHS. MY BOYS WORSHIP
PROXY THEY ROLLED AROUND REST
ROLL AROUND WITH HER AND
WRESTLED ON A DAILY BASIS. NONE
OF US KNEW SHE HAD A MASS. THAT
SHE WAS OR THAT SHE WAS IN PAIN.
WITH THAT THE LORD ABOUT MERRY
DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME WHEN I KEPT
POINTING TO HER PA. WHICH ENDED
UP BEING INCREDIBLY MINOR. AND
INSTEAD. HE PLACED HIS HANDS ON
ROCKS THE- THIS BILL AS WRITTEN
WOULD ALLOW. TO THERE ANTI. LIFE
WITHOUT EVER RECEIVING A HANDS
ON EXAMINATION. WELL INTENTIONED
CONSUMERS WILL FOCUS ON WHAT
THEY KNOW AND SEE. THUS
CONTROLLING WITH THE
VETERINARIAN KNOWS AND SEES.
UNLESS PROVISIONS ARE PUT IN
PLACE TO REQUIRE HANDS ON
EXAMINATION FOR PRESCRIPTIONS
WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME FRAME. BUT
MY POINT IS REQUESTING FOURTEEN
DAYS. ANIMALS WILL ULTIMATELY
SUFFER FOR THESE REASONS THE
BOARD RESPECTFULLY URGES YOU'RE

STRONG SUPPORT OF THE BILL THANK
YOU NEXT PLEASE. NOBODY ELSE IS
CUTE ATMOSPHERE THANK YOU A
MURDERER AND THANKS THOSE ON THE
LINE FOR THEIR PATIENTS. OKAY
LET'S BRING THE MATTER BACK TO
THE- THIS IN MY COLLEAGUES OF
SOME MEMBER LET ME JUST ASK
FIRST THERE WERE SOME AMENDMENTS
SUGGESTED STARTING ON PAGE
THIRTEEN OF THE ANALYSIS MY
APOLOGIES YES WE ARE ACCEPTING
THEM AND I WANT TO THANK YOU AND
YOUR STAFF FOR YOUR HARD WORK
OKAY PERFECT LET ME JUST ASK A
QUICK QUESTION BEFORE I TURN IT
OVER TO MY COLLEAGUES. LISTENING
TO THE CONVERSATION IS THERE A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE USE OF.
THE TELLEM TELEHEALTH FOR AN
INITIAL EXAM IN TERMS OF
LIMITATIONS WERE THE
VETERINARIAN HAS NEVER SEEN THE
ANIMAL. AS OPPOSED TO THE USE
OF. TELEHEALTH FOR ANIMALS WHERE
THE ANIMAL WAS PREVIOUSLY SEEN
BY A VETERINARIAN PERHAPS FOR
ANOTHER CONDITION. WELL YEAH LET
ONE OF THE THAT QUESTION MAKES
SENSE YES I THINK SO YES I THINK
I CAN SPEAK TO THAT- WHICH SEEMS
TO GO TO THE QUESTION ABOUT
SOMEBODY IN NEW YORK. HOLDING
THEMSELVES OUT TO CARE FOR.
COMEY COME ALL RIGHT- I MEAN I
THINK THE BILL PROVIDES THAT ANY
VETERINARIAN PROVIDING THIS TYPE
OF SERVICE WOULD BE LICENSE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
SUBJECT TO ALL THE RULES AND
REGULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT
RIGHT. I THINK WHERE IT YOU KNOW
THIS THIS YOU KNOW KIND OF.
COMES BACK TO ME AND TO MY
VETERINARIANS. THERE ARE MANY OF
US PRACTICING TOGETHER AT A
PRACTICE ALL OVER MEDICAL
RECORDS ARE KEPT ELECTRONICALLY
WE CAN ACCESS THE MEDICAL
RECORDS OF PATIENTS THAT HAVE
BEEN INTO OUR PRACTICES BUT THAT
WE HAVE NOT SEEN RIGHT.
PERSONALLY ANOTHER VETERINARIAN
I WORK WITH MAY HAVE SEEN THAT
PATIENT. SO IT'S A SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT SITUATION WHEN I ASK
ABOUT BECAUSE- YOU THE PANEL'S
BEEN SEEN IN THE FACILITY THERE
ARE. RECORDS THERE SOMEONE CAN
EXAMINE AS OPPOSED TO AN INITIAL
INITIAL VISIT. TELEHEALTH YEAH.
I THINK I THINK IT COMES DOWN TO
YOU KNOW THE VETERINARIAN BEING
ABLE TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS AN
APPROPRIATE. USE OF TELEMEDICINE
IF THIS IS A SITUATION WHERE WE
CAN PRESCRIBE SOME TREATMENT OR-
YOU KNOW SOME SOME ADDITIONAL
THING YOU MADE THE POINT AROUND
LIKE USING A LITTLE BIT OF
DIAPER CREAM FOR A BABY.
SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT OR-
TRYING SOME TREATMENT VERSES
THAT THIS ANIMAL NEEDS TO COME
IN RIGHT AND BE SEEN AND HAVE A
PHYSICAL EXAM DONE. NOT BEING A-
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER OF
ANYTHING. LET ME JUST TRY TO ASK
A QUESTION THE MAKES SENSE I
MEAN IS THERE A WAY. TO CRAFT
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD DESCRIBE
WHAT. WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR A
VETERINARIAN TO DO ON ONE OF
THOSE INITIAL INITIAL.
TELEHEALTH VISITS. YOU KNOW I
MEAN AS A VETERINARIAN I THINK
I'M GOING TO SAY THAT I WOULD
LIKE TO BE THE ONE TO MAKE THAT
DISTINCTION TO BE ABLE TO DECIDE
YOU KNOW THERE THERE ARE MANY
THINGS I CAN LOOK OUT OVER VIDEO
FOR EXAMPLE YOU KNOW I CAN LOOK
AT THE COLOR OF A PATIENT'S GUMS
I CAN WATCH THE PATIENT WALK I
CAN ASK THE OWNER. MANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT ACTUALLY WHAT'S
BEEN GOING ON AT HOME AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I USE WHETHER THE
ANIMALS IN FRONT OF ME OR NOT
RIGHT SO MUCH OF THIS IS
OBSERVATIONAL. OBVIOUSLY WE KNOW
THAT OWNERS DON'T ALWAYS KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THEIR PET IS DOING
WHAT IT'S DOING SOMETHING BUT AS
AN EXPERIENCED VETERINARIAN. I
CAN USUALLY GUIDE THE
CONVERSATION TO GET THE ANSWERS
THE QUESTIONS THAT I WANT. SO I
WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE IN FAVOR
OF LANGUAGE THAT STIPULATED
CERTAIN SITUATIONS BUT WOULD
INSTEAD RELY ON THE EXPERIENCE
VETERINARIAN TO MAKE THE CALL.
I'M THE ONE WITH THE LICENSE I'M
THE ONE THAT SWORE TO PROTECT
ANIMAL HEALTH AND SUFFERING SO.
I WANT THESE ANIMALS TO BE CARED
FOR IN THE BEST WAY THEY CAN.
AND MANY TIMES THAT MEANS THEY
DO NEED TO COME IN BUT NOT
ALWAYS. AND I SUPPOSE THE BOARD
COULD DEAL WITH SOME OF THAT
THROUGH THE REGULATORY PROCESS I
THINK SO. OKAY. CENTER CHILLER.
THANK YOU. I THINK THERE'S ONE
ELEMENT I'VE GOT TO SHARE WITH
YOU THAT WE HAVEN'T TOUCHED
UPON. THAT'S THE FAMILY. THE
CHILDREN I'VE REYES FIVE. AND
THE LOVE OF THE DOGS OF WE'VE
HAD OVER THE YEARS. AND THAT
ANXIETY. OF NOT BEING ABLE TO
GET TO THE VETERINARIAN. ON TIME
OR- THE ACCESS IS SHOWN THAT
NEVER STOPS AND I THINK IT'S
EVEN WORSE NOW. SO I SEE THAT
MODERN TECHNOLOGY HAS TAKEN US
TO THIS POINT. SHOW OF I AND I
KNOW. PERSONALLY WE JUST LOST. A
DOG THAT WE HAD FOR NUMBER OF
YEARS AND- WE HAD. IT JUST TO BE
ABLE TO GET. TO THE DOCTOR. OF
WHAT MADE US FEEL A LOT BETTER.
BUT IT JUST TOOK FOREVER IT
SEEMS LIKE TO GET IN- BUT IT WAS
TERMINAL AND IT IT WOULDN'T HELP
ANYWAY BUT- JUST EXACTLY THE
FAMILIES. THIS OPENS UP A NEW
WORLD I THINK. OF NOT JUST FOR
THE FOR THE PETS BUT OBVIOUSLY
THE FAMILY I CAN SEE. WHY SO
MANY FAMILIES WOULD BE
COMFORTABLE WITH THIS. MY
CONCERN IS THE OUTSOURCING
OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA. AND THAT
ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY CAN COME
IN- AND SHARE IN THE CARE AND
MAINTENANCE AND I KNOW THAT
YOU'VE GOT TO BE LICENSED IN
CALIFORNIA. BUT HAVING THE
NEIGHBORHOOD BUT MERION OR
SOMEONE THAT NGUYEN COULDN'T.
REFER TO ONE SO THE FAMILY CAN
FEEL CLOSE TO AND GETTING THAT-
PET DOG CAT WHATEVER IT IS- TO
THAT BENDERY AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. BECAUSE I THINK
THERE'S NOTHING GREATER AND I
THINK YOU WOULD AGREE WITH ME DR
NOTHING GREATER THAN HAVING THAT
ANIMAL THERE WITH YOU. TO
EXAMINE AND FUEL AND REALLY KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEN TO GO
ON PROCEED IN THE FUTURE. BUT I
THINK THAT'S WHERE RESPONSIBLE
OWNERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT IN A
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DOCTOR. OF
OVERTIME- I'M GONNA SUPPORT THE
BILL AND I WILL ASK TO MOVE IT
FORWARD. AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME
BUT I THINK THERE'S SOME
AMENDMENTS- YOU'RE STILL WORKING
WITH THAT- WILL MAKE IT EVEN
BETTER. BUT I THANK YOU FOR THE
BILL AND ALL THE ANIMAL LOVERS
THAT ARE OUT THERE GOD BLESS YOU
AND- THEY ARE FAMILY AND WE MUST
FIND EVERYWHERE TO CONTINUE. TO
WATCH AND TAKE CARE OF THEM AND
THANK YOU DOCTORS AND ALL OF YOU
WHO ARE IN THE INDUSTRY THANK
YOU. EGGMAN THANK YOU- SO I DO
HAVE SOME OF THE CONCERNS OF THE
CHAIR RAISED AND SENATOR
ARCHULETA RACIST ABOUT OUTSIDE
FOLKS WITH AN APP- SO I'M ON
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY. AND
APPRECIATE THAT AND APPRECIATE
PEOPLE HAVE TO BE LICENSED AND
IN CALIFORNIA- BUT JUST WANT TO
KEEP ME KEEP WORKING DONE TO
BEGIN. MAKE SURE THAT I'M NO
THAT'S NOT YOUR INTENTION THAT
WE CAN WORK ON THAT BEFORE IT
GETS TO THE FLOOR. HERE WILK
THANK YOU. I THANK YOU MR CHIU.
AS YOU KNOW BECAUSE WE FLY
TOGETHER A LOT I'M A BIG DOG
LOVER DID WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS
BILL. AND YOU KNOW AS YOU KNOW I
HAVE A WIFE WITH- WITH CANCER
AND SHE MEETS. WITH HER
ONCOLOGIST. UP THROUGH
TELEMEDICINE ALTHOUGH SHE SPENT
ABOUT HER DOCTOR KNOWS HER SHE
SPENT TIME WITH THE DOCTOR.
DOCTOR KNOWS ARE INTIMATELY IF
THERE WAS SOMETHING THEY WOULD
COME BACK. I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT
YOU COULD. HAVE A PET GO THROUGH
ITS ENTIRE LIFE. POTENTIALLY
WITHOUT ANY IN IN. IN PERSON
VISIT THE I GUESS THAT'S HOW
THIS IS LINED UP. SO LIKE YOU TO
ADDRESS THAT. IF IT IS IT IS
THEN THE OTHER THING IS SO THEIR
LICENSE IN THE STATE. SOLICITOR
LIVING SOMEWHERE ELSE IF
SOMETHING WENT SOUTH AND YOU
WANTED TO SUE WHERE. WHERE DO
YOU WHERE DO YOU SU. WELL THANKS
FOR THE QUESTIONS OF FIRST OF
ALL IN TERMS OF AN ANIMAL.
POSSIBLY NEVER GOING TO OF THAT
THAT'S THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PETS ACROSS THE STATE THAT NEVER
EVER SEE EVENT. BECAUSE PEOPLE
EITHER LIVE TOO FAR OR COST TOO
MUCH MONEY OR THEY THEMSELVES
HAVE A PHYSICAL ISSUE THAT MAKES
IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BRING
THEIR PET IN. AND WE KNOW THAT
AND WE KNOW THAT ACCESS HAS GONE
UP WHEN WE ALLOWED FOR TELL
ABOUT. SO IS IT OPTIMAL NO IT'S
NOT OPTIMAL BUT IS IT BETTER
THAN THE STATUS QUO IT IS. IT IS
THERE'S NOTHING THAT REQUIRES
ANYBODY TO EVER TAKE THEIR CAT
TO A VET THERE'S NOTHING IN THE
LAW THAT SAYS YOU HAVE TO DO
THAT AND MANY PEOPLE SIMPLY
DON'T. SO WE KNOW THAT IT'S
PROHIBITIVE FOR MANY PEOPLE FOR
A VARIETY OF REASONS TO SEE OF
THAT AND THIS JUST OPENS UP THE
POSSIBILITY THAT NOW THEY'LL BE
ABLE TO GET CARE. AND BECAUSE
HE'S BETTER LICENSE IN
CALIFORNIA AND ARE SUBJECT TO
ALL OF THE SAME LICENSURE
REQUIREMENTS AND THE SAME
ABILITY TO BE CENSORED. BY THE
BOARD THEY ALSO WILL BE.
INCLINED THAT WHEN THEY FEEL
THAT THERE'S A QUESTION OF
GIVING THAT REFERRAL YOU KNOW
YOU REALLY NEED TO BRING THIS
ANIMAL AND BECAUSE THEIR LICENSE
IS ON THE LINE. AND BOTH LEGALLY
AND IN TERMS OF JUST LICENSURE
THEY HAVE CERTAIN STANDARDS THAT
THEY HAVE TO MEET. NOT TO
MENTION THAT I TRUST THAT. THOSE
VETS WHO CALLED IN. I TRUST THEM
TO MAKE THAT DECISION TO MAKE
THAT CALL WHEN THEY SEE THE
ANIMAL THIS JUST GIVES THESE. OF
MANY OF THESE OWNERS A CHANCE
TO. MAYBE HELP FOR THE VERY
FIRST TIME A RELATIONSHIP
DEVELOPED WITH A VETERINARIAN.
SO IN TERMS OF WHO YOU WOULD SUE
OUT OF STATE GIVEN THAT THESE
BATS ARE LICENSED HERE I WOULD
THINK THAT THERE IS A LEGAL WAY
OF KNOWING. KIND OF WHO THEY ARE
AND HOW TO REACH THEM. BUT YOU
KNOW THE WORLD ISN'T PERFECT. AS
MUCH AS I'D LOVE FOR THERE TO BE
A BET ON EVERY CORNER. AND FOR
EVERYONE TO ALWAYS GO IN ALL THE
TIME ON A REGULAR SCHEDULE. IT'S
JUST NOT GONNA HAPPEN. SO I
DON'T THINK WE SHOULD LET. THAT
IMAGE OF THE IDEAL SITUATION.
STOP THE- YOU KNOW A LOT OF FROM
US FROM ADDRESSING THE VERY REAL
ACCESS ISSUES. THAT MANY MANY
PEOPLE HAVE AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL PROVIDES FOR. SO AT SOME
POINT CAN WE GET AN ANSWER THAT
QUESTION BECAUSE I THINK IT'S A
LEGITIMATE QUESTION. HOW YOU
WOULD SORT OF SUE SOMEONE OUT OF
STATE- I CAN WE CAN ASK
JUDICIARY I WOULD THINK IT'S THE
WAY THAT YOU WOULD SUE OVER AND
THOSE ARE GOING TO SERVICE NEXT.
NO BUT I'M SAYING WE CAN GET YOU
AN ANSWER SURE SOMEONE ABOUT.
HOW THAT WOULD LIKE AND IF
THERE'S LIKE THAT CERTAINLY
THEIR LICENSE WOULD BE AT STAKE.
YES WITH A VERY LEAST THERE
WOULD BE AN ISSUE WITH
LICENSURE. AND I WOULD THINK
THAT I DON'T KNOW BUT I WOULD
THINK THAT IF YOUR LICENSE IN
CALIFORNIA THERE SOME SORT OF.
OF INSURANCE OR BONDING
REQUIREMENTS. THAT PROVIDES FOR.
FOR SOMETHING IN CASE YOU JUST
GET SUED AS A VETERINARIAN. YOU
KNOW YOU ARE SORT OF RUNNING A
CALIFORNIA BUSINESS AT THAT
POINT. YEAH BECAUSE THE OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. WE STILL
HAVE THE BOARD HEAR GOING.
PERHAPS YOU COULD ADDRESS. A NEW
. QUOTE ON. WHETHER THE BOARD
CAN. HAS THE AUTHORITY THROUGH
THE REGULATORY PROCESS OR SOME
OTHER PROCESS TO- TRY TO DEFINE.
WHAT GOES ON DURING AND I CALL
IT THE INITIAL INITIAL.
TELEHEALTH VISIT WERE NO PRIOR
CONTACT HAS BEEN HAD. WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LICENSE VETERINARIAN.
THE BOARD DOES HAVE GENERAL
MAKERS ALREADY TO DEFINE FOR
THEIR TO FIND ANY OF OUR
STATUTES. BUT TO YOUR QUESTION
ABOUT- I THINK YOU HAD TALKED
ABOUT LISTING SPECIFIC ELEMENTS
THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE OR
WOULD BE APPROPRIATE TELL
HEALTH. CORRECT YES NOT I WOULD
CAUTION AGAINST THAT JUST
BECAUSE WHEN YOU GET THAT
PRESCRIPTIVE IN ANY KIND OF
REGULATIONS THINGS CHANGED.
AMIT'S OF ALL THAT A LOT OF
TIMES IT DEPENDS ON. THE PATIENT
SELF IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES
SURROUNDING IT SO WHEN YOU START
LISTING OFF CERTAIN CONDITIONS
OR CERTAIN ELEMENTS. YOU'RE
GONNA RUN THE REST OF. BLEEDING
THINGS OUT ON INTENTIONALLY AND
THAT ARE COVERED OR YOU GET TO
PERSUADE PRESCRIPTIVE AND THINGS
MIGHT CHANGE SOMEWHERE IN THAT
CONDITION IT MIGHT BE
APPROPRIATE OR NOT IT REALLY
DEPENDS ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF
REGULATIONS THEMSELVES MIGHT
MAKE. MAKE IT MORE CHALLENGING
IN THE FUTURE BUT IF THE BOARD
BELIEVES THAT TO BE AN ISSUE THE
BOARD COULD THEN TAKE THAT ON.
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF DESCRIBING
. UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT ASSUME
. WE CAN DO REGULATIONS THAT
FURTHER TO FIND A PROFESSIONAL
CONDUCT BUT AS FAR AS LISTING
SPECIFIC RIGHT NO NO I. AS I
SAID I'M NOT A HEALTH CARE
PROVIDER OF ANYTHING SO I LEAVE
THAT TO THOSE WHO ARE BUT- THE
BOARD COULD DEAL WITH THAT IF IT
IS AN ISSUE. WE COULD WRITE
REGULATIONS YEAH THAT WOULD
OBVIOUSLY IMPACT. ALL OF IT TOO
BUT- ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. I WAS
ALSO TEXTED- BY SOMEBODY THAT
BECAUSE THEIR LICENSE IN
CALIFORNIA IF YOU WERE TO SUE
YOU WOULD BE SUING. A CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS BECAUSE OF THE
LICENSING. OKAY NO OTHER
QUESTIONS. BEEN MOVED BY A
SEARCH LYRICS ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE ROBUST DISCUSSION
CLEARLY EVERYBODY HERE'S ON THE
SAME SIDE THE SIDE OF THE
ANIMALS. AND I DO THINK THAT
THIS IS A TOOL WE SHOULD ALLOW
YOU HEARD THE INTEREST IN THE
VETS CALLING AND THAT DIDN'T
COME FROM ME- THERE'S A LOT OF
INTEREST FROM OUR FOR MANY OF
OUR VETERINARIANS OF OFFERING
THIS TOOL TO THEIR CLIENTS AND I
WOULD REQUEST AN AYE VOTE. THE
BILLS HAD Y. PART WIDE

CANNABIS BILL. BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE. PLEASE PROCEED WHEN
READY. WELL THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN FOR ALLOW ME TO
PRESENT- AB ELEVEN TWENTY SIX.
WHICH WILL PROTECT THE SANCTITY
OF THE CANNABIS UNIVERSAL SYMBOL
. AND THANKS TO A LIST OF FROM
THE COMMITTEE FOR WORKING ON THE
AMENDMENTS THAT I WILL ACCEPT.
THE STATE IS ADVISED CONSUMERS
TO LOOK OUT FOR CANNABIS THE
CANNABIS UNIVERSAL SYMBOL TO
DISCERN WHETHER OR NOT A PRODUCT
IS GONE THROUGH THE REQUISITE
REGULATORY PROCESS THAT ENSURES
IT'S READY FOR SAFE CONSUMPTION.
HOWEVER BAD ACTORS IN THE
ILLICIT MARKET HAVE BEGUN MASS
PRODUCTION OF ENVELOPES
EMBLAZONED WITH THE UNIVERSE'S
SYMBOL IN ORDER TO PASS OFF
THEIR ILLEGITIMATE PRODUCTS AS
AUTHENTIC AND THEY'RE PASSING
SOME OF THOSE THE CONTAINERS OUT
SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THEM.
THERE ALREADY- WIDESPREAD
THROUGHOUT THE MARKET. AND-
WE'VE WE'VE SEEN THE RISE OF
INTOXICATING HELP PRODUCTS- THAT
OF A CONCENTRATION MUCH HIGHER
THAN IS AVAILABLE IN THE
REGULATED. CANNABIS MARKET OF
THESE PRODUCTS ARE CAPABLE OF
HARM THAT IS NOT FOUND IN THE
STRONGEST OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS.
IF WE DO NOT MOVE TO PROTECT THE
UNIVERSAL SYMBOL BY EXTENSION TO
THE CONSUMER WILL UNDERMINE THE
LEGITIMATE CANNABIS MARKET.
WHICH BADLY NEEDS ENFORCEMENT
TOOLS TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY
OF THEIR PRODUCTS. CALIFORNIA'S
LED THE NATION IN PROMOTING
CANNABIS LEGALIZATION. AND BUT
WE'RE WE'RE DRAGGING OUR
COLLECTIVE FEED IT AS IT. COMES
TO MAKING MOVES A PREVENT
PROMOTE THE LIFE FORCE OF THE
INDUSTRY. THIS MARKET NEEDS
TOOLS TO FRUSTRATE THE ATTEMPT
BY THE MALEVOLENT ACTORS. TO
DENIGRATE THE INTEGRITY OF
PRODUCTS SOLD IN CALIFORNIA. AB
ELEVEN TWENTY SIX PROTECTS THE
CANNABIS UNIVERSAL SYMBOL FROM
PROVISION WITHIN THE ILLICIT
MARKET. IT'S A CONSUMER
PROTECTION MEASURE THAT WILL
MITIGATE THE RISK OF
INTOXICATING HIM POISONS. THAT'S
ACTUALLY IMPACTING MORE PEOPLE.
I HAVE KEREN WHAT'S IN FROM KIVA
CONFECTIONS THE CALIFORNIA
CANNABIS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION
SHE'S AN INDUSTRY EXPERT.
QUESTION THE ENTIRE EVOLUTION OF
CALIFORNIA'S LEGAL CANNABIS
MARKET SHE CAN ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

WHICH RESULTED IN TWO THOUSAND
THAT. WAS LARGELY BELIEVED TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH UNLICENSED
PRODUCTS PRODUCED THROUGH AN
ILLICIT CHANNEL UNFORTUNATELY
NOTHING CURRENTLY IN STATUTE

MISREPRESENTATION. OF THE
UNLICENSED CANNABIS BEING.
NOTHING PROHIBITS
MISREPRESENTATION OF THE
UNIVERSAL SYMBOL ON UNLICENSED
PRODUCTS INCLUDING DECEPTIVE USE
OF THE UNIVERSAL SYMBOL. THE
SYMBOL IS USED BY CONSUMERS TO
NOT ONLY INDICATE THE PRODUCT
CONTAINS CANNABIS BUT ALSO
CONFIRMS THAT THE PRODUCT MEETS
IMPORTANT SAFETY STANDARDS. LIKE
QUALITY AND POTENCY. IN FACT
CONCERT A CONSUMER BULLETIN
WARNING ABOUT THE DANGERS OF
COPY CAT CANNABIS PRODUCTS FROM
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL URGED
CONSUMERS TO SEEK OUT. THE

NUMBER ONE. CANNABIS THANK YOU
MISTER COMMITTEE MEMBERS I HAVE
BEFORE YOU TODAY AS BILL
FOURTEEN FORTY EIGHT AB FOURTEEN
FORTY EIGHT WILL ENHANCE LOCAL
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS FOR
UNLICENSED CANNABIS ACTIVITIES.
SINCE CALIFORNIA VOTERS MADE
RECREATIONAL CANNABIS LEGAL IN
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN WITH
PROPOSITION SIXTY FOUR THE
LEGISLATURE AS WELL AS STATE AND
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS HAS
STRUGGLED TO DRIVE UNLAWFUL
OPERATORS OUT OF THE CANNABIS
MARKET. RURAL COMMUNITIES HAVE
BEEN INUNDATED WITH UNLICENSED
AND UNREGULATED CANNABIS THAT IS
UNDERMINING THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF RESIDENTS AND
IRREPARABLY HARMING OUR LAWFUL
REGULATED CANNABIS BUSINESSES.
ILLICIT CANNABIS OPERATIONS ARE
HIGHLY PROFITABLE ENDEAVORS THAT
FREQUENTLY ENGAGING WORKER
EXPLOITATION WATER THEFT ILLEGAL
PESTICIDE USE ENVIRONMENTAL
DEGRADATION AND TAX EVASION.
UNDER STATE LAW LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS CAN IMPOSE
PENALTIES FOR COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS VIOLATIONS THROUGH THE
JUDICIAL PROCESS BUT ANYNET
RECOVERY GOES TO THE STATE
MAKING THIS MECHANISM
UNATTRACTIVE FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS. COUNTIES AND CITIES
OFTEN USE CODE ENFORCEMENT WHEN
DEALING WITH UNLICENSED CANNABIS
ACTIVITIES HOWEVER THE PENALTY
STRUCTURES PRIMARILY DESIGNED
FOR ORDINARY ZONING AND BUILDING
VIOLATIONS. THIS IS NOT ALWAYS
WELL SUITED TO DETER LARGE SCALE
ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL CANNABIS
OPERATIONS AB FOURTEEN FORTY
EIGHT WILL ENCOURAGE LOCALITIES
VIEWS THE STATUTORY PENALTIES
UNDER BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS
CODE TWO SIX ZERO THREE EIGHT BY
ALLOWING A FIFTY FIFTY STATE
LOCAL SPLIT OF THE STATUTORY
PENALTIES RECOVERED BY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS. AS ORIGINALLY
ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE IN
THE MEDICAL CANNABIS REGULATIONS
AND SAFETY ACT. REVENUES FROM
THESE ACTIONS WILL PROVIDE A
MUCH NEEDED SOURCE OF FUNDS TO
REINVEST IN ILLICIT CANNABIS
ENFORCEMENT. EIGHTY FOURTEEN
FORTY EIGHT IS SUPPORTED BY C.
SACK LEAGUE OF CITIES RC RC THE
CALIFORNIA CANNABIS INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION AND THE SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS. THE SUPPORTERS ARE
COMMITTED TO DO AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE TO SUPPORT LEGAL
CANNABIS INDUSTRY BY SHUTTING
DOWN UNLICENSED CANNABIS
ACTIVITY. I WILL BE STRIKING
SECTION TWO WHICH HAS INTENT
LANGUAGE FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO SWIFTLY ADDRESSED ILLEGAL
CANNABIS ACTIVITIES AND REPLACE
IT WITH INTENT LANGUAGE. WELL WE
FINALLY HAVE ACCEPTABLE LANGUAGE
WE DON'T HAVE IN THE RIGHT
COMMITTEES OR MOVING FORWARD
WITH ONLY SECTION ONE OF THE
BILL. I APPRECIATE MISTER CHAIR
THE COMMITTEE AND COMMITTEE
STAFF HELP AND SORTING OUT THE
VARIOUS PROCEDURAL ISSUES WITH
OUR BILL AND WITH THAT I WOULD

CRIMINALIZATION OF CANNABIS TO
NOW MISS OUT ON THE PROFITS OF
THIS LEGALIZATION. BY FAILING TO

PRESSED TO COMPETE WITH MULTI
STATE OPERATORS RUN BY WEALTHY

DEFERRALS AND WAIVERS. AND OTHER

FIVE WOULD ADDRESS THIS
OVERSIGHT BY ENSURING CONTINUED
GUARANTEED FUNDING IN FUTURE
YEARS THE FUNDING STARTS IN
TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY NINE
WHEN PROP SIXTY FOUR ALLOWS
SEARCH ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
CANNABIS TAX ALLOCATION. AND
IT'S DESIGNED NOT TO DETRACT
FROM OTHER IMPORTANT PROGRAMS
FUNDED BY THE TAX. AS YOU KNOW
THE WAR ON MARIJUANA HAS HAD A
DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT ON
MINORITIES AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AB FIFTEEN SIXTY
FIVE WOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM
