THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. AND
MEMBERS TODAY I'M HERE TO
PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL FORTY ONE
. THE DIGITAL EQUITY IN VIDEO
FRANCHISING ACT OF TWENTY TWENTY
THREE OR THE FIVE. I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUES COMMITTEE
STAFF AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS
FOR THEIR WILLINGNESS TO WORK
WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS VERY
IMPORTANT MESSAGE. I ACCEPT THE
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY THE
COMMITTEE BECAUSE THEY
STRENGTHEN THE PUBLIC UTILITY
COMMISSIONS ABILITY TO
INVESTIGATE POSSIBLE
DISCRIMINATION BY STATE VIDEO
FRANCHISE HOLDERS. THE MEMBERS
TO DO THE FOLLOWING GUARANTEES A
LONGER REVIEW PROCESS. OF
FRANCHISE APPLICATIONS INCLUDING
A PUBLIC HEARING. INSURES LOW
INCOME CALIFORNIANS WILL HAVE
EQUAL ACCESS TO VIDEO SERVICES
IN BROADBAND CAPABLE
INFRASTRUCTURE. ALLOWS THE
PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION TO SET
ANTI DISCRIMINATION BENCHMARKS
TO INVESTIGATE ANY ANTI
DISCRIMINATION VIOLATIONS. THE
VIOLATIONS HAS OCCURRED THE P.
YOU SEE YOU CAN FIND A FRANCHISE
HOLDER REVOKE THEIR FRANCHISE OR
EVEN REQUIRE BUILD OUT AS A
REMEDY. I UNDERSTAND THIS BILL
IS NOT WHERE WE STARTED BUT IT
MAKES SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE
CURRENT VIDEO FRANCHISING LAWS
THAT WILL ENSURE THE P. YOU SEE
HAS MEANINGFUL TOOLS TO PROTECT
LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS FROM
DISCRIMINATION AND THUS. CLOSE
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. AND ALL AB
FORTY ONE IS A STRONG ANTI
DISCRIMINATION MEASURE THAT WILL
WORK IN CONJUNCTION WITH
PREVIOUS LEGISLATIVE MEASURES
DEALING WITH A ACCURATE MAPPING
OF BROADBAND AVAILABILITY.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE BY INTERNET
SERVICE PROVIDERS INCLUDED STATE
VIDEO FRANCHISE HOLDERS. THIS
BILL BILLS ON THE EFFORTS OF SB
TWENTY EIGHT IN AB TWENTY SEVEN
FIFTY TWO TO ENSURE THE P. YOU
SEE HAS THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO
HOLD FRANCHISE HOLDERS
ACCOUNTABLE. THERE'S BEEN A LOT
OF MISINFORMATION SURROUNDING
THE AMENDMENTS PRODUCED BY THE
COMMITTEE ON THIS BILL. I WOULD
LIKE TO BEGIN BY STATING THIS
BILL DOES NOT IMPACT THE WORK OF
MY DEAR FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE
SENATOR CABALLERO ON S. B.
TWENTY EIGHT. THIS BILL
STRENGTHENS THE EFFORTS OF THE
STATE LEGISLATURE BY RESTATING
GRANULAR LEVEL DATA WHICH MEANS
HOME ADDRESSES TO ACCURATELY
IDENTIFY UNSERVED AND
UNDERSERVED HOUSEHOLDS IN THE
STATE. DIFFICULT WAS PASSED TO
ENCOURAGE COMPETITION IN THE
CABLE MARKET WITH THE INTENT OF
BENEFITING CONSUMERS. BY
LOWERING PRICES IN PROMOTING THE
EXPANSION OF SERVICES THAT
INCLUDE CABLE PHONE AND HIGH
SPEED INTERNET ACCESS. SEVENTEEN
YEARS LATER IT IS CLEAR THAT
THIS APPROACH SELF REGULATION OF
THE INDUSTRY THROUGH COMPETITION
HAS FAILED. AB FORTY ONE IS THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS ATTEMPT
TO FIX WHAT ISN'T WORKING TO
ENSURE CALIFORNIANS HAVE EQUAL
ACCESS TO INFRASTRUCTURE
NECESSARY TO STAY CONNECTED. A
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT R.
MARONE A GROUP OF NON AG A GONNA
FOR. ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
BLACK HEALTH NETWORK. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL WHEN YOU
HAVE A CORD THANK YOU. YEP TWO
MINUTES THANK YOU YES SIR. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME IS
MIRANDA GONNA FOR. ON THE POLICY
IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS MANAGER
OF CALIFORNIA BLACKHAWK NETWORK
. I'M HERE TO SUPPORT AB FORTY
ONE WHICH STRENGTHENS ANTI
DISCRIMINATION LAWS BY REQUIRING
CABLE OPERATORS OR VIDEO SERVICE
PROVIDERS TO OFFER EQUAL ACCESS
TO SUBSCRIBERS WITHIN THIS THE
SERVICE AREAS. THE NINETEEN HAS
SHOWN US THAT DIGITAL DIVIDES
DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS THAT
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT BLACK
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. WHEN
THE CALL THE NINETEEN PANDEMIC
FORCED SCHOOLS TO TRANSITION TO
REMOTE LEARNING THE LACK OF
RELIABLE INTERNET ACCESS
PREVENTED MANY BLACK STUDENTS
FROM FULLY PARTICIPATING IN THE
ONLINE CLASSES. ACCESSING
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES OR
COMPLETING ASSIGNMENTS. THIS
DIGITAL DIVIDE THREATENS TO
WIDEN THE CHIPMAN COP AND EXTEND
SYSTEMIC DISPARITIES. IN TODAY'S
SOCIETY ACCESS TO RELIABLE
INTERNET IS ESSENTIAL SERVING AS
A GATEWAY TO EDUCATION ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES HEALTHCARE IN
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. WITHOUT
RELIABLE INTERNET ACCESS BLOCK
INDIVIDUALS CANNOT FULLY
COMPETES IN THE JOB MARKET
FURTHER LIMITING THE ECONOMY
GROWTH AND WORSENING INCOME
INEQUALITY. WITHOUT ITS BLOCK
WOULD ALSO BE NINE DENIED THE
BENEFITS OF TELEHEALTH SERVICES
EXASPERATING HOLDS DISPARITIES.
ACCORDING TO THE TWENTY TWENTY
AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY ONLY
83% OF BLACK HOUSEHOLDS IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE BROUGHT ABOUT
THE RATE IS EVEN LOWER FOR THOSE
WITH INCOMES LESS THAN FIFTY
THOUSAND. CLOSING THE STOP WILL
ALLOW BLOCKS TO PARTICIPATE IN
OVER 86% OF DROPS BY TWENTY
FORTY FIVE ACCORDING TO THE
TWENTY TWENTY DAS BONTA REPORT
WHICH WILL BENEFITS BLOCK AND
THE OVERALL ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT
OF CALIFORNIA. I URGE THIS
COMMITTEE TO VOTE YEAH ON AB
FORTY ONE THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME THANK YOU ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES HERE AND ROOM TWELVE
ON YOUR IN SUPPORT. OF AB FORTY
ONE. STATION AND ORGANIZATION
PLACE. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMEN
MEMBERS SOCIAL OR WITH LOS
ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU. ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
. SEEING NONE NOW LET'S MOVE
OPPOSITION ARE THERE WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION ARE YOUR PRIMARY
WITNESS IN OPPOSITION. YOU HAVE
TO MANAGE. GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS MEDICAL DRAMA
WITH CAL BROADBAND. WELL WE
SINCERELY APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEE'S WORK ON THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT
THE AMENDMENTS TAKE THIS BILL IN
A WORKABLE DIRECTION THEY DO NOT
FULLY ALLEVIATE OUR CONCERNS
WITH THE BILL. WE AGREE WITH THE
COMMITTEE'S ANALYSIS AND MOST OF
THE MEASUREMENTS TAKEN WITH
REGARD TO THE APPLICATION AND
RENEWAL PROCESS. HOWEVER WE
CONTINUE TO OPPOSE THE AUTHORS
ADDITION IN SECTION FIFTY EIGHT
FORTY THAT WOULD GIVE THE CPUC
THE ABILITY TO IMPOSE
UNSPECIFIED TERMS ON THE
FRANCHISE HOLDER INCLUDING
UPGRADES. FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS
FRANCHISE AUTHORITIES FROM
DICTATING TECHNOLOGY CHOICES BY
CABLE OPERATORS AND THIS
PROVISION COULD ESTABLISH A
PREDICATE FOR TERMS REQUIRING
INFRASTRUCTURE BUILD OUT. WE
ALSO APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS THAT ADDRESSED SOME
OF OUR CONCERNS REGARDING
UPDATES TO THE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION SECTION OF THE
SPELL. THE BILL WITH THE
AMENDMENTS NOW INCLUDES A
REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE EQUAL
ACCESS TO VIDEO SERVICE WITHIN A
FRANCHISE REGARDLESS OF INCOME.
THE LANGUAGE STRIP STRIPS
EXISTING SAFE HARBORS BUT FAILS
TO UPDATE THE REMAINING
LANGUAGE. THE LANGUAGE STATES
THAT THE CPC ONLY NEEDS TO
CONSIDER FACTORS THAT ARE
COMPLETELY OUTSIDE THE COMPANY'S
CONTROL. FOR EXAMPLE OF AN
APARTMENT BUILDING OWNER HAS AN
EXCLUSIVE ARRANGEMENT WITH
COMPETITOR ANOTHER FRANCHISE
HOLDER WOULD BE UNABLE TO
PROVIDE ACCESS TO THAT BUILDING.
THERE SHOULD BE CERTAINTY IN
THESE KINDS OF SCENARIOS THAT A
FRANCHISE HOLDER WILL NOT BE
FOUND IN VIOLATION OF THE NEW
EQUAL ACCESS STANDARD. ALSO
THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FACTORS
THAT SHOULD BE EXPRESSLY STATED
WHERE THERE WOULD NEED TO BE
WORRIED. FOR EXAMPLE WHERE THERE
WOULD NEED TO BE DEPLOYED
INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH A
MILITARY FACILITY OR ENTERPRISE
CUSTOMER. AND WHERE THE COST
PROVIDE VIDEO SERVICES
SUBSTANTIALLY ABOVE THE AVERAGE
COST WITHIN THAT AREA. BOTH OF
THESE ARE NOT WITHIN CAN THE
CONTROL THE FRANCHISE HOLDER AND
SHOULD BE ADDED TO THIS SECTION.
THE LAST PROVISION THAT I WILL
HIGHLIGHT IS IN REGARDS TO HIGH
FRANCHISE HOLDERS FEES ARE
CALCULATED. A FRANCHISE HOLDER
MUST PAY LOCAL ENTITIES THE
FRANCHISE FEE BASED ON GROSS
REVENUES. DERIVED FROM VIDEO
SERVICES. CURRENT LAW STATES
THAT IF AN ENTITY. SUCH AS A
PUBLIC SCHOOL IS RECEIVING VIDEO
SERVICES FOR FREE. THE IMPUTED
REVENUE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE
CALCULATION FOR GROSS REVENUE.
AB FORTY ONE OMITS THE SECTION
MEANING THE REVENUE THAT IS
NEVER REALIZED. FOR THE FREE
SERVICE WILL BE CALCULATED INTO
REPORTED INCOME. THIS DIS
INCENTIVIZES COMPANIES FROM
OFFERING THESE FREE SERVICES TO
INSTITUTIONS RELY ON THE
SERVICES. WE REQUESTED THAT THE
LANGUAGE BE RESTORED TO CURRENT
LAW. AGAIN WE APPRECIATE THE
WORK THE COMMITTEE HAS DONE
REGARDING THIS BILL IN THE
AMENDMENTS. THE CALDERON AND
MUST REMAIN OPPOSED AB FORTY ONE
AND TO THE ISSUES THAT WE'VE
OUTLINED TO THE AUTHOR AND THE
COMMITTEE. IN WRITING HAVE BEEN
ADDRESSED IN WORKABLE MANNER
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT
WITNESS PUSH. DID YOU NAME YOUR
ORGANIZATION. MY NAME IS SHANE
ENGLAND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION DENTAL EQUITY
INITIATIVE. AS WELL AS THE TWO
COALITIONS WE CO LEAD. THE
STATEWIDE CALIFORNIA ALLIANCE
FOR DIGITAL EQUITY- CADE. AND
THE DIGITAL EQUITY L. A.
COALITION BASE AND I COUNTY BOTH
COALITIONS CONSISTS OF CROSS
SECTORAL EQUITY AND JUSTICE
ORGANIZATIONS. SERVING
COMMUNITIES ALL ACROSS
CALIFORNIA AS ADVOCATES AND AS
DRUG SERVICE PROVIDERS AND
TOGETHER THESE TWO COALITIONS
REPRESENT FORTY OF THE FIFTY
ORGANIZATIONS. LIST IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS- WE FIRST WANT TO
SINCERELY THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER
HOLDEN- AND PERSONALLY I'M YOUR
CONSTITUENT SEVEN THANK YOU. FOR
BEING OUR CHAMPION TO THIS POINT
I'M I'M WORKING CLOSELY WITH US
FOR THE LAST NEARLY EIGHTEEN
MONTHS. TO CONTINUE THE WORK THE
SENATOR CAFIERO BAT BEGAN WITH
SYMBOL TWENTY EIGHT TO BRING
NECESSARY AND OVERDUE REFORMS.
TO CALIFORNIA'S REGRESSIVE
FRANCHISE LAW. AS CO SPONSORS WE
WORK TIRELESSLY IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL INCLUDING
PARTICIPATING IN MERION
NEGOTIATIONS AND COMPROMISES. TO
MEET THE CONCERNS RAISED BY THE
CABLE INDUSTRY WHILE ENSURING WE
WERE FAITHFULLY REPRESENTING THE
COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. I THINK WE
ALL AGREE AFTER NEARLY TWO
DECADES WE HAVE CLEAR EVIDENCE
THAT DID GET HAS MET NONE OF ITS
STATED GOALS AND HAS IN FACT
WORSENED. ACCESS AND
AFFORDABILITY FOR SERVICES. AB
FORTY ONE LIKE AB TWENTY SEVEN
FORTY EIGHT BEFORE IT AND SENATE
BILL TWENTY EIGHT SOUGHT TO MAKE
REFORMS TO BRING BETTER BALANCE
TO CALIFORNIA'S APPROACH TO
FRANCHISING. AND ESTABLISH
REASONABLE AND COMMONSENSE
BASELINE PROTECTIONS TO THE VAST
MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITIES. THAT HAVE NO CHOICE
FOR SERVICE OTHER THAN A
FRANCHISE HOLDER OPERATING AS A
MONOPOLY OR AT BEST TO FRANCHISE
HOLDERS OPERATING AS A DUOPOLY.
NOTABLY THE PROJECTIONS SOUGHT
WOULD MERELY BRING CALIFORNIA
FRANCHISE REQUIREMENTS. UP TO
PAR OR MAYBE CLOSE TO IT AND
HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF
OTHER JURISDICTIONS AROUND THE
COUNTRY WHERE THESE SAME
COMPANIES. OPERATE PROFITABLY
AND CONTINUOUSLY AND PROTECTIONS
ARE WELL WITHIN FEDERAL LIMITS.
BASIC PROTECTIONS FOR
CALIFORNIANS. EQUAL ACCESS
MEANINGFUL ANTI DISCRIMINATION
COMMUNITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
AND PUT BASIC SERVICE QUALITY
AND CUSTOMER SERVICE STANDARDS.
NONE OF THESE ARE UNREASONABLE
NONE WOULD BE UNIQUE TO
CALIFORNIA AND NINE WOULD
PREVENT FRANCHISE HOLDERS FROM
OPERATING PROPERLY PROFITABLY.
AGAIN AS EVIDENCE OF THESE
COMPANIES CONTINUE TO REPORT
PROFIT MARGINS OF 30% OR HIGHER
ON THESE SERVICES AT THE SAME
TIME AS THEY OPERATE WITH THESE
PROTECTIONS IN PLACE IN MOST OF
THE STATES AND JURISDICTIONS
THEY SERVE. AS A BASELINE MATTER

NO ONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE MISTER
CHAIR. THANK YOU WILL BRING
DISCUSSION BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS AS
RELIGIOUS AB FORTY ONE SOONER
EGGMAN. THANK YOU FIND OURSELVES
IN A FUNNY SITUATION HERE MR
HOLDEN SO I WONDER AND I
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU TOOK THE
MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH ASKED YOU
TO TAKE THE COMMITTEE HAS TO
TAKE AND YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A
SITUATION. YOU TALK THROUGH A
LITTLE BIT LIKE. WHAT'S OUR PLAN
GOING WHAT'S WHAT'S WHAT'S OUR
PLAN HERE. WELL IT. I GUESS ALL
I CAN SAY IS THAT MY GOAL IS TO
MOVE SOMETHING THAT WAS
MEANINGFUL. AND IF I FELT LIKE
WITH THE COMMITTEE WAS
RECOMMENDING WITH THESE
AMENDMENTS. WERE NOT MEANINGFUL
IN TERMS OF CREATING. A
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PUBLIC
HEARINGS WHERE CITY COUNCILS CAN
COME FORWARD AND SAY LOOK WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE AS A PC
GOES THROUGH THIS PROCESS THAT
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE
SURE THAT ARE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES ARE. ARE GOING TO
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
THEIR VOICES HEARD THROUGH THIS
RENEWAL PROCESS. THAT WASN'T IN
THERE I. THAT WOULD BE ONE
REASON WHY MAY NOT SUPPORTED. IF
THERE WASN'T AN OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE THE P. YOU SEE FURTHER LOOK
AT THE ISSUES OF DISCRIMINATION.
AND TO BE ABLE TO THEN HAVE AS A
FACTOR- EXPANDING THE MARKET AND
BUILD OUT. THEN I PROBABLY WOULD
SAY THAT IN THE YOU'VE HEARD
FROM THE OPPONENTS WHO WERE THE
OPPONENTS CONSISTENTLY THROUGH
THIS TO SAID THAT THEY DON'T
LIKE THAT. SO I IT IS AN ODD
PLACE TO BE BECAUSE I DO THINK
IT DOES AND MOVES THE BALL
FORWARD. LAST YEAR WE HAD A BILL
THAT WAS SIMILAR TO WHAT. WAS
PRESENTED AT HAD MADE ITS WAY TO
THIS COMMITTEE. AND IT WAS HELD
IN COMMITTEE. AND SO. MY GOAL IS
TO MOVE LEGISLATURE I MEAN THIS
IS NOT THE FIRST BILL. THAT I
DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING I WANT.
THIS IS THE FIRST BILL THAT I'VE
EVER HAD TO HAVE THOSE WHO
BELIEVE IN THE CORE VALUES OF
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. ALL OF
A SUDDEN I HAD SOME SAY WELL I
DON'T LIKE AN AMENDMENT AND SO
MAYBE I'LL STAY OFF. BUT NEVER.
SAY I'M PULLING OFF AND NOW I'M
GOING TO OPPOSE IT. SEND OUT
EMAIL MESSAGES TO THE UNIVERSE
SAYING. YOU SHOULD YOU SHOULD.
TELL HOLDEN TO MAKE THIS A TO
YOUR BILL WHY WOULD I DO THAT.
UNLESS THESE OTHER PROVISIONS
WERE NOT INCLUDED. SO FOR ME IT
DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IT MOVES
IT FORWARD IN A WAY THAT I THINK
IN. FUTURE YEARS. MAYBE THIS THE
FULLNESS OF WHAT WAS. HOPED FOR
AND EXPECTED COULD BE. OF VALUE
ADDED BUT AS WE STAND HERE
TODAY- I THINK THAT. GIVEN THE
P. YOU SEE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE. OF THE- ABILITY. TO LOOK
AT DISCRIMINATION ELEMENTS-
WHICH IS NOT THE CASE NOW- TO
ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO- TO
ENSURE. THAT THERE IS BILLED AS
A REMEDY. THAT KIND OF GETS TO
THAT ISSUE IF IT IF IT'S
WARRANTED- AND SO I'D- RESPECT
LAST YEAR I WROTE I WISH IT
WERE. DIFFERENT I WISH THAT
THERE WERE. THOSE WHO.
APPRECIATE WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH. AND KNOW THAT IN
THIS PROCESS. DOESN'T ALWAYS
LAND. PERFECTLY THANK YOU MR
HOLDEN- AT AT AND I'LL SAY I'M
DOING FOR A LONG TIME AND I'LL-
I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO MOVE
THIS BILL I THINK YOU'VE DONE
WITH THE COMMITTEE ASKED YOU TO
DO. THAT YOU BEEN A FAIR PLAYER
IN THIS NOTHING ANYBODY ELSE
HASN'T BEEN FAIR BUT JUST SAYING
YOU'VE BEEN HONEST BROKER IN
THIS SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING IT
TODAY AND- YOU KNOW AND THEN
RESPECT WITHOUT AND THE- PROCESS
YOU WANT TO TAKE GOING FORWARD
AFTER THIS. ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
SENATOR MEANT. I THANK YOU
SENATOR I'M ALSO KIND OF A
LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT WHERE THIS
BILL LANDS BUT I APPRECIATE THE
ANSWER I HAD A DIFFERENT
QUESTION- AND THEN THIS IS
SPEAKS MY OWN LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
OF THE SPACE BUT- WHAT DOES THIS
BILL ALSO COVER LIKE GOOGLE
FIBER OR EIGHTEEN T. FIBER OR
THOSE COVERED UNDER DIFFERENT
REGULATORY SCHEME. I THINK.
THEY'RE NOT INCLUDED NO THEY
WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN THIS I
CAN'T HEAR YOU SIR ARE NO THEY
WOULD NOT BE INCLUDED JUST STATE
VIDEO FRANCHISE AND SO I GUESS
HERE'S MY CONCERN WHICH IT COMES
FROM A DIFFERENT PLACE WHICH IS
YOU KNOW I HAVE. A TRADITIONAL
CABLE SERVICE IN MY HOME IN
ORANGE COUNTY. AND I PAY LIKE
TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH FOR
BROADBAND HIGH SPEED BROADBAND
THERE. HERE IN SACRAMENTO I HAVE
EIGHTEEN T. FIBER AND I PAY FAR
LESS THAN THAT. AND MY CONCERN
IS THAT BY CREATING AFFIRMATIVE
OBLIGATIONS ON THE CABLE
PROVIDERS FOR BROADBAND BUT NOT
ON OTHER PROVIDERS YOU'RE-
FURTHER. YOU KNOW TILTING THE
PLAYING FIELD IN FAVOR OF SOME
OF THESE OTHER- PROVIDERS IN AND
I KNOW THAT EIGHTEEN T. FIVE AND
GOOGLE FIBER KINDA GOING INTO
THESE HIGH INCOME AREAS. WHERE
THERE'S HIGH DENSITY OF
BROADBAND USAGE IN AND I WONDER
IF YOU COULD JUST SPEAK TO THAT
CONCERN. WELL I'M GONNA LET MY-
POLITICAL- TO YOUR CONCERN I
BELIEVE YOU'RE REFERRING TO THE
BILL BEFORE IT WAS AMEND IT AND
INCLUDING THE BUILD OUT
PRINCIPLES- BUT THAT BEING SAID
THIS IS THE- BILL. BASED ON THE
NEWMAN CENTER HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED
SPOKE WITH LOW SOLELY ON VIDEO.
ADMIN SO WITH THAT BEING SAID WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THE SAME
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT DELIVERS
VIDEO. I'M ALSO DELIVERS-
BROUGHT IT HOWEVER THIS IS
FOCUSED ON. HOW CAN WE ENSURE
THAT THE P. YOU SEE HOW'S THE
TOOLS. ARE NECESSARY IT SAID
INVESTIGATE WHEN THERE'S
POSSIBLE DISCRIMINATION IN THOSE
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES FOR THEM
TO SET THEIR OWN BENCHMARKS TO
REALLY JUST FOCUS ON CABLE
FRANCHISES. GOT IT SO YOU'RE TO
WHEN YOU SEE VIDEO GAMING LIKE
WHAT WE THINK OF AS CABLE
TELEVISION YES OKAY. GOT IT I
THANK YOU THAT HELPS. SENATOR
ALSO YES- I'M KIND OF IN A
SIMILAR POSITION THAT SENATOR
EGGMAN. IS AND I'M SURE YOU FEEL
. KIND OF. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
WORK YOU YOU SAID. OF BUT IT IS
REALLY DIFFICULT- OF BECAUSE OF
YOUR- YOU KNOW YOUR CREDIBILITY-
TO NOT SUPPORT YOU. ON THE OTHER
HAND WHAT IS SO. DEEPLY WRONG.
THAT SUPPORTERS OF ARE NOW
OPPOSING. MAYBE IN YOU DON'T ASK
ANSWER THAT ARE YOU ANSWER THAT
AND SOMEBODY ELSE DOES BUT IT'S-
IT'S REALLY- I'VE NEVER BEEN IN
THIS SITUATION. BEFORE MAYBE YOU
HAVEN'T EITHER BUT- OF WHAT IS
THERE- IS THERE OF A DAMAGE THAT
COULD COME FROM THIS I MEAN IT'S
ONE THING TO NOT. GET EVERYTHING
WE ALL GO GO THROUGH THAT WILL
MAKE CHANGES WHEN WE DON'T WANT
TO MAKE CHANGES- BUT IS THERE.
SOMEWHERE IN HERE LIKE. PEOPLE
GOING TO GET HURT BY IT OR WE'RE
GONNA GET DAMAGED BY IT- SO THAT
IT'S NOT JUST. A SMALLER STEP
THE WHAT WE WOULD HAVE WANTED
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A STEP
BACKWARD IS DO YOU THINK THAT'S
THE CASE HERE. WHAT I CAN'T YOU
KNOW I THINK THAT THERE IS A I
MEAN YOU HEAR THE TERM OFTEN
MAKING THE PERFECT THE ENEMY OF
THE GOOD I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE. BEEN
SUPPORTERS- I KNOW THAT THEY
WERE LOOKING FOR RIGHTEOUS
OUTCOME I WAS AS WELL I THINK
THIS IS I THINK IT IS. A TEN
IT'S MAYBE A SIX ON A SCALE. OF
ONE TO TEN- MY ASSESSMENT OF IT.
THAT'S WHY MOVING FORWARD IF I
FOUGHT IN ANY WAY. HAVING PUBLIC
HEARINGS- CREATING- STILL
AVENUES FOR- ACCESS- TRYING TO
CLOSE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE BY
INCLUDING THE PC TO GIVE
GREATER. FOCUS ON. MAKING SURE
THESE BENCHMARKS ARE HIT BY THE-
THESE PROVIDERS- I SEE IT MOVING
FORWARD. THEY'LL HAVE TO SPEAK
TO WHAT PART OF IT IS. YOU KNOW
OF ONE MORE PIECE WAS IN WITH
THIS BE STILL ON THE MILLER
THERE IS ALL OF IT I. I CAN'T
SPEAK FOR THEM ALL I KNOW IS
THAT WHEN I PUT THIS BILL
FORWARD. IT WAS RECOGNIZING IT'S
ALREADY HAD HISTORY. IN THIS
PROCESS. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST
TIME WE BROUGHT A BILL LIKE THIS
TO THIS COMMITTEE. LAST YEAR WE
DIDN'T GET A HEARING OR WHERE
THEY WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEARING
BUT WAS GONNA HAVE JUST
BASICALLY EVERYTHING STRIPPED
OUT OF IT. I WASN'T REALLY
PREPARED TO GO FORWARD WITH
THAT. THIS YEAR. I THINK. TO THE
CHAIR AND THE COMMITTEE- WE WERE
ABLE TO AT LEAST GET SOME VERY
IMPORTANT ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE
STILL GOING TO BE ADDRESSED THAT
NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. MAYBE
NOT IN THE WAY THAT- THAT THOSE
WHO WERE- WERE FORMER SPONSORS
THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE. BUT THE P.
YOU SEE HAS IT AS ITS DISCRETION
TO BE ABLE TO STILL LOOK AT
WAYS. TO ADDRESS THE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION PEACE AND TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE COULD BE
REMEDIES THAT COULD GO AS FAR
AS- BECAUSE IN THE PROVIDER TO
DO THE BUILD OUT. WHICH IS IN
ITS OWN SEPARATE CAR ABOUT PEACE
PART OF WHAT WAS- FOR THAT WOULD
BE IN THE BILL SO. KIND OF THAT
. I'M I'M TRYING TO PRESENT THIS
IN A WAY. THAT I WANT TO MOVE I
WANT THIS OF REPRESENT PROGRESS
. PART OF ME WOULD LOVE TO SEE
IT REPRESENT EVERYTHING THAT WE
WERE TRYING TO GET. BUT IT DOES
NOT. IN A RUBIO. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AMONG THIRTY WE ALL
FIND OURSELVES IN THE SAME
CIRCUMSTANCE I YOU KNOW I THINK
I HEARD L. A. U. S. T.
SUPPORTING IT OF COURSE IS A
TEACHER I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT. THERE'S ACCESS FOR OUR
STUDENTS. ARE BUT THEN AT THE
SAME TIME THEN I HEARD TURN
OPPOSE IT AND STILL THIS IS A
REALLY UNUSUAL PREDICAMENT AND
I'D LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR
MAYBE. I DON'T KNOW IF TURN IS
HERE OR- SOME OTHERS THAT WERE
SUPPORTERS ARE AND NOW OR NOT
BECAUSE I WOULD GIVE US A LITTLE
BIT MORE. CLARITY AS TO WORD IT
THIS BILL GO WRONG SO WE CAN
HEAR THAT PERSPECTIVE IF YOU
DON'T MIND. YEAH SURE SO I THINK
ONE THING JUST PUT OUT THERE
AGAIN IS AS WE AS I SAID IN MY
REMOTE BILLION MARKS ALL OF US.
AGAIN THE FORTY OF THE FIFTY OUR
ORGANIZATIONS ON THAT PREVIOUS
SUPPORTER LAST. PLUS TURN I HAVE
REALLY APPRECIATED BEING ABLE TO
WORK WITH SOME MEMBER HOLD ON
TWENTY SOME FORTY EIGHT LAST
YEAR AND THEN FORTY ONE THIS
YEAR. AND IN ALL MY YEARS OF
DOING THIS KIND OF WORK I'VE
NEVER BEEN. SITUATION IT IS
AWKWARD AND HEARTBREAKING AND
HORRIFIC- SO IT WOULD JUST SAY.
THAT BUT IF YOU LOOK AT A LINE
BY LINE OF WHERE THE BILL AFTER
MANY MANY MANY MANY COMPROMISES
AND AMENDMENTS TO GET TO THIS
COMMITTEE. AND THEN YOU LOOK AT
THE AMENDMENTS THAT WORD THEN
TAKE IN IN THIS COMMITTEE. IT
STRIPS ALMOST EVERYTHING OUT. AS
A STARTER SO I ASSEMBLY MEMBER
HOLDEN RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
THAT IT INCLUDES ANYTHING AROUND
BUILDING. IT DOES INCLUDE
LANGUAGE THAT SAYS EQUAL ACCESS
IT DOES INCLUDE LANGUAGE THAT
SAYS ANTI FOR ANTI
DISCRIMINATION ALTHOUGH IT
STRIPS ANY SPECIFICS OF THAT OUT
EVEN. STRIPS OF THE EXISTING
DEMOCRATS SPECIFICS AROUND ANTI
DISCRIMINATION OUT- BUT IT DOES
NOT ACTUALLY PROVIDE FOR ANY
REMEDY FOR THAT THERE IS NO
BUILD OUT. EVERY SINGLE
REFERENCE TO BUILD OUT THAT WAS
IN THIS BILL IS GONE. THERE IS I
DON'T SEE. AND IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT WERE WRONG BUT THESE ARE
MEN MAN CAME OUT SO LATE THAT WE
HAVE TO KIND OF BASE ARE
POSITIONING AND OUR THING. ON
ALL OF THE CONVERSATIONS WITH
EXPERTS AND EVERYTHING THAT WE
CAN SEE AN ESSENTIALLY THE
TWENTY FOUR HOURS WE HAD TO
CONTEMPLATE IT- THERE IS NO
BUILD OUT IN THIS. SPECIFICALLY
THE FINE AMOUNTS YOU KNOW ONE OF
THE OTHER REMEDIES COULD HAVE
BEEN FINE AMOUNTS THE FINE
AMOUNTS WERE REVERTED BACK TO
THOSE SET IN TWO THOUSAND AND
SIX. THEIR SOLO SO AS TO NOT BE
MEANINGFUL AND THEN YES WE
APPRECIATE A PUBLIC HEARING BUT
THEN THERE IS NOTHING AROUND
THAT PUBLIC HEARING RUN WITH THE
CPC CAN DO WITH WHAT THEY HEAR
SO YES PERHAPS THE CITY COUNCIL.
OR COMMUNITY MEMBERS LIKE THE
FORTY WHO SHOWED UP IN INGLEWOOD
CITY HALL LAST WEEK- COULD SHOW
UP TO A PUBLIC HEARING BUT AGAIN
THERE'S NO REMEDY FOR ANYTHING
THAT THEY BRING UP IN THAT. SO
AND THEN IN ADDITIONALLY AS- I
HAD SENATOR HOLDEN'S STAFFER WHO
AGAIN WE'VE WORKED TIRELESSLY
WITH FOR MONTHS- AS SHE NOTED
ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN STRIPPED OUT OF
THIS BILL. IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
OF THE BASIC REALITY THAT CABLE
AND BROADBAND ARE THE SAME. SO
THEN THESE AMENDMENTS GO FURTHER
AND STRIP OUT ANYTHING THAT
WOULD ACTUALLY STILL MAINTAIN A
PROTECTION AROUND THE BROADBAND
PIECES. OF CABLE FRANCHISES SO
IN OUR VIEW- AT VERY VERY BEST.
WHAT THIS BILL DOES NOW. IS THE
STATUS QUO WHICH IS
UNACCEPTABLE. AND WE THINK BUT
AGAIN WE'LL HAVE WE'LL FREELING
KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVEN'T HAD
ENOUGH TIME IN THAT WE'VE HEARD
AT THIS POINT NOW. MULTIPLE
DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS OF
WHETHER THERE'S ACTIVE HARM BUT
AT MINIMUM AT THAT IT MAKES NO
PROGRESS IN GIVEN THAT WE'RE AT
SEVENTEEN YEARS NOW. OF
DIFFICULT WITH ONLY MINOR
CHANGES. OUR CONCERN IS THAT THE
MAJOR HARM IS THAT IF WE MOVE
FORWARD A BILL THAT BASICALLY
JUST CEMENTS DAVE CAZES WE HAVE
LOST OUR PART OUR OPPORTUNITY TO
DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THANK YOU
I'M THANK YOU FOR THAT
EXPLANATION I MEAN I IT IS
REALLY- DISTRESSING TO SEE LIKE
L. A. U. S. T. ON ONE SIDE AND I
THINK I HEARD SEVENTY CROSS
SECTOR- EQUITY. DIGITAL EQUITY
ORGANIZATIONS AND SO IT'S A
LITTLE HOW DISTRESSING HERE BUT
I JUST ALTERNATIVE RICH OF THE
TURN TO CONCLUDE HIS YOU KNOW
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS AND- GIVE
IT SOME THOUGHT THANK YOU. THANK
YOU CENTER STERN. THEY MISTER
CHAIR- SENATE RUBIO- HANDLE THAT
WELL I THOUGHT ALTHOUGH. I DON'T
KNOW IF THERE WAS A DIFFERENT
OPINION. YOU MENTIONED TURN AS
WELL BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I'M A
RATE PAYER PERSPECTIVE BUT- DID
YOU. M. WE'LL BE ALL RIGHT JUST
TO RESPOND. TO SOME OF THOSE
ISSUES THEY ITEMIZE THEY'RE
SAYING STRIPPING OUT- THE KEY
ANTI DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS
ALL BUILD OUT IS GONE. IF YOU
COULD JUST KIND OF WALK US
THROUGH. WHY YOU THINK. GIVEN IT
ENOUGH GIVEN THE COMPRESSED
PERIOD OF TIME SURE. WHY YOU
THINK IT'S WELL I MEAN THE
CHRIS. I THINK THAT THEY MAY
HAVE GIVEN YOU A GLIMPSE INTO
WHY. THEY'VE TAKEN A MORE
AGGRESSIVE POSITION BECAUSE THEY
SAID THAT WITH LIMITED PERIOD OF
TIME MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING
THEY MESSED WELL MAYBE THERE IS.
WHAT I SAID IN MY OPENING
STATEMENT. GUARANTEES A LONGER
REVIEW PROCESS A FRANCHISE
APPLICATIONS INCLUDING A PUBLIC
HEARING INSURERS LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIA'S WILL HAVE EQUAL
ACCESS TO VIDEO SERVICES IN
BROADBAND CAPABLE
INFRASTRUCTURE. ALLOWS THE P.
YOU SEE TO SET ANTI
DISCRIMINATION BENCHMARKS. SET
BENCHMARKS. TO INVESTIGATE ANY
ANTI DISCRIMINATION VIOLATION.
IF A VIOLATION HAS OCCURRED THE
QC CAN FIND A FRANCHISE HOLDER.
REVOKE THEIR FRANCHISE OR EVEN
REQUIRE BUILD OUT AS A REMOTE.
OTHER. THAT IN REGARDS TO THE-
REFUEL. RENEW OLD SEES ME THE
REVIEW OF REVIEWING OF
APPLICATIONS- AND THE NEW ONES
AS WELL AS THE- RULES WE CAN SEE
CURRENTLY THAT THE PC ONLY HAS
ABOUT FORTY FOUR DAYS TO ISSUE
OUT THE FRANCHISE. IN SO WHAT
THE MOMENTS THAT WERE OFFERED BY
THE COMMITTEE IT DOES EXTENDED
TO SIXTY DAYS TO REVIEW THAT
IT'S COMPLETE AND AT A HUNDRED
TWENTY DAYS TO HAVE A PUBLIC
HEARING. SO IN ALL A HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS TO REALLY HAVE THE
PUBLIC CALM AND PARTICIPATE A
LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
GET FROM THIS FRANCHISE SO
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION HAS ALWAYS
BEEN NUMBER ONE WITH THIS BILL
IN ADDITION TO THE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION SECTION. SO THE
IN REGARDS TO THE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION SECTION IN MY
CONNECT- CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
PC IN ADDITION TO CONSULTANTS
WHEN IT DOES COME TO APPROVING A
VIOLATION THAT DOES OCCUR BY
FRANCHISE OWNERS THE FACT. OF
THE MATTER IS THE CURRENT
BENCHMARKS ARE SO LOW THAT IT'S
HARD FOR THEM TO PROVE THAT THEY
ARE DISCRIMINATING THE FACT THAT
WE REMOVE THOSE AND ALLOW FOR
THE P. YOU SEE IT'S ACTUALLY
DETERMINE WHAT DOES. VIOLATIONS
ANTI DISCRIMINATION- VIOLATIONS
LOOK LIKE ALLOWS FOR THEM TO
ACTUALLY GO AND USE THE DATA
FROM S. B. TWENTY EIGHT USE THE
DATA FROM AB TWENTY SEVEN FIFTY
TWO TO SEE IF THERE'S AREAS IN
THE STATE WERE FRANCHISE HOLDERS
HAVE NOT IN BUT- INVESTED. IN SO
WITH THESE AMENDMENTS WE BELIEVE
THAT IT IS MOVING IT FORWARD NO
IT'S NOT GETTING THE BUILD OUT
EXPLICITLY BUT THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT COULD BE A REMEDY- IF.
THEY'RE FOUND IN VIOLATION.
THANK MISTER CHAIR- I'M I'M TORN
ABOUT THIS- HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF
RESPECT FOR YOU AND OBVIOUSLY
VERY GOOD STAFF WORK HERE AND
ALSO THIS COMMITTEE STAFF
FRANKLY- I'M GONNA SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY BUT I JUST WANT. I
NEED A BOOK YOU KNOW RESERVE THE
ABILITY TO POTENTIALLY
RECONSIDER THAT GOING FORWARD
AS- WE DIGEST THIS OF IT SEEMS
LIKE THERE'S SOME. SORT OF-
ACTIVE. RISK OF CODIFYING THIS
FRAMEWORK. THEY COULD HAVE A
SORT OF DETRIMENTAL EFFECT I
WANT TO. I WANT TO TAKE A SECOND
LOOK AT IT BUT- BASED ON THAT
DESCRIPTION I THINK. I THINK
YOUR ARGUMENT. MAKES SOME SENSE-
SO I'LL BE SUPPORTING TODAY
THANK. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS BUT COMMITTEES. IT'S
BEEN MOVED THANK YOU. AND LET ME
WAY IN HERE AND I WANT TO FIRST
THANK THE AUTHOR- FOR. YOUR
WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THIS
COMMITTEE. AND I DON'T WANT TO
MISS SPEAK HERE BUT I THINK MY
MR HOLDEN MYSELF. WITH I DON'T
KNOW IF ANYONE WAS LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIALS SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO
WHEN DIFFICULT WAS PASSED IS
THIS LEGISLATIVE BODY NOT THE
MEMBERS WHO ARE SIMPLE HERE TO
DATE. THAT CREATE THIS PROBLEM
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS
TODAY IT WAS THE LEGISLATURE
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO THEY CREATED
DIFFICULT UP UNTIL THEN LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS HAD THE RIGHT TO
NEGOTIATE THOSE FRANCHISES AND
ASK FOR ALL THOSE THINGS THAT WE
WANT IN THIS BILL TODAY. WHAT WE
HAVE DONE HERE TODAY IS MOVE US
CLOSER TO WAR WE WORK SEVENTEEN
YEARS AGO. IS IT PERFECT NO BUT
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
COMMITTEE HAS NO DIRECT SAY ON
FEDERAL ISSUES WHICH- OF
BROADBAND IS FRANK FEDERALLY
REGULATED WORST CABLE. WE HAVE
SEE AND THAT YOU SEE OUT SEE AND
THAT AND AGAIN PRIOR TO PASSING
A DISCO WE COULD NEGOTIATE WITH
THOSE LOCAL CABLE PROVIDERS TO
SAY WHAT WE WANTED. AND ARE
COMMUNITIES AND MANY OF THESE
COMMUNITIES YOU STAFF SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE PEG
CHANNELS. MOST CITIES HAD THEIR
OWN PUBLIC EDUCATION CHANNELS
THEY HAD. ANY OF THEM TO DO A
VARIETY OF PROGRAMS YOUTH WERE
INVOLVED THOSE ARE ALL GONE AWAY
BECAUSE OF DIFFICULT. WHAT MR
HOLDEN IS TRYING TO DO WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF THIS COMMITTEE IS
TO MOVE BACK AND PUT SOME OF
THESE PIECES BACK YET. AND I'M A
FIRM BELIEVER THAT WE SHOULDN'T
LET. THE PERFECT BE THE ENEMY OF
THE GOOD AND THIS IS WHERE WE
FIND OURSELVES TODAY IT'S A LOT
OF GOOD WORK HERE IS IT BRING US
BACK TO SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO
WHERE WE HAD STATE. NO BECAUSE
YOU'RE MORE FEDERAL CONSTRAINTS
IT TELLS US WHAT WE CAN AND
CANNOT DO AND WE'RE TRYING TO
USE THAT AND WALK THAT FINE LINE
AND THIS IS WHAT THIS BILL DOES
AND I THINK MR HOLDEN HAS BEEN.
MORE THAN WILLING TO HE WOULD BE
STANDING HERE TODAY ACCEPTING
THESE AMENDMENTS IF WE WERE
MOVING BACKWARDS THIS IS
PROGRESS FOLKS IS IT WHAT WE
STARTED WHAT MR OLDING STARTED
WITH. AT THE BEGINNING OF
INTRODUCED AB FORTY ONE NO IT'S
NOT BUT AS FAR FARTHER THAN.
WHAT WE HAVE. AND WHAT WE'VE HAD
OVER THE LAST SEVENTEEN YEARS SO
AT THAT I WILL ALLOW YOU TO
CLOSE. RESPECT RESPIRABLE. AND
WE HAVE B. DU PASS AS AMENDED.
TO THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE AND
I'LL JUST. FOR RECORD AND JUST
SAY I UNDERSTAND THE COMMITTEE'S
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. WILL NOT
SATISFY ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS AS
WE HEARD. BUT OUR HOWEVER AGAIN
I THINK WE'VE MADE GREAT
PROGRESS IN WHERE WE WERE
SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO AND WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO GET TODAY. WITH
THESE A MEMBERS THIS BILL TAKES
AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN
ADDRESSING DIGITAL EQUITY BY
REMOVING EXISTING BARRIERS. TO
PURSUING DIGITAL DISCRIMINATION
IN PREVENTING ISSUES ISSUES. A
FEDERAL PREEMPTION PREEMPTION.
SPECIFICALLY I KNOW THAT WITH
THE AMENDMENTS THIS BILL
ESTABLISHES A NEW. MORE
ENFORCEABLE. HIGHER ANTI
DISCRIMINATION STANDARD OR
PROVIDING EQUAL ACCESS. TO
CONSUMERS REGARDLESS OF THEIR
INCOME. THIS BILL ALSO PROVIDES
GROUPS MORE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING
CONCERNS TO THIS- SEEPAGE CPUC
DORM FRANCHISE RENEWALS ARE
REMOVED ADMINISTRATIVE BARRIERS
TO INVESTIGATING CASES OF
POTENTIAL DISCRIMINATION I
UNDERSTAND THE AUTHOR WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS AS THIS BILL MOVES

DIRECTS THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY

STRATEGY FOR THE BUILDING SECTOR
COMPLETE WITH EMISSION REDUCTION

EMISSIONS ALSO CONTRIBUTE TO

WHILE THE STATE HAS MADE AN
EFFORT TO CREATE POLICY AND FUND
PATHWAYS THAT WOULD REDUCE
EMISSIONS FROM BUILDINGS IT IS
NOT IMPLEMENTED AN OVER ARCHING
STRATEGY. TO ACTUALLY REDUCE
BUILDING EMISSIONS WE NOW NEED A
COMPREHENSIVE STATEWIDE BUILDING
EMISSION REDUCTION PLAN THAT
HELPS THE STATE REACH ITS CARBON
NEUTRALITY GOALS. EIGHTY FIVE

STEP TO BUILD ON EXISTING
EFFORTS BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE

THANK YOU YOU CHECK TO MEANT TO

CHAIR BRADFORD MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE- THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF AB FIVE NINETY THREE-
I'M AS A TAURUS WITH THE BILL
INDYCAR COALITION. WERE THE
SPONSORS OF THE BILL- THE BILL
INDYCAR COALITION IS MADE UP OF
MANUFACTURERS ENERGY PROVIDERS
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND NGOS
WORKING TO ADVANCE POLLUTION
HOMES. WORKPLACES AND
COMMUNITIES- AND GIVEN AS YOU
HEARD THAT BUILDINGS ACCOUNT FOR
THE COURT OF THE STATE'S
EMISSIONS- WE BELIEVE THIS IS
ONE OF THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE
SOLUTIONS FOR. YOU KNOW TAKING
ON CLIMATE CHANGE IT NOT ONLY
DOES IT TAKE ON CLIMATE CHANGE
IS ALSO ONE OF THE FEW.
TECHNOLOGIES AND APPROACHES THAT
ALSO GROUP PROVIDES DIRECT
BENEFITS TO RATEPAYERS IN OTHERS
ODDS TO CLAIM MEDITATION SUCH AS
HEAT PUMPS. WHICH PROVIDES AIR
CONDITIONING TO HOMES AND OTHER
APPROACHES THAT WE THINK ARE
CRITICAL BOTH TO THE SURVIVAL
AND PROGRESS WHEN IT COMES TO
CLIMATE CHANGE- ADDITIONALLY THE
- THE STATE. AS A WHOLE- I STAKE
IN THIS APPROACH RIGHT THROUGH
VARIOUS WAYS WITH THEIR SEVENTY
FIVE JURISDICTIONS REPRESENTING
OVER 20% OF THE STATE'S
POPULATION HAVE PASSAGE ZERO
EMISSION BUILDING CODES- THE
CDC. HAS ALSO PASS OR TWENTY
TWENTY THREE BUILDING COAT. WITH
ZERO EMISSIONS SPACE AND WATER
HEATERS AT THE BASELINE CENTER
FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION- THE
STATE'S LARGEST AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR A PROGRAM. OF THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES PROGRAM
THAT REQUIRES ALL ELECTRIC NEW
CONSTRUCTION- AND A VARIETY OF
OTHER POLICIES- THAT'S WHY WE
THINK THAT DEVELOPING THIS
COMPREHENSIVE STRATEGY FOR ZERO
EMISSION BUILDINGS WILL ENSURE
THAT OUR TRANSITION. TO THE
FUTURE IS THOUGHTFUL AND
STRATEGIC. AND WE THINK THIS
BILL WILL ALLOW US TO FOCUS ON.
PROTECTING THE MOST VULNERABLE
FOCUSING ON ENERGY
AFFORDABILITY- WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE RESILIENCE
AND AS THE SOME MEMBERS SHARED-
SO WE THINK WITH THIS BILL WE
CAN DID YOU KNOW TO CREATE A
PLAN. THAT DOESN'T ONLY ALLOWS
TO HIT THESE TARGETS RIGHT- THE
TARGETS HAVE BEEN PUT FORTH ON
LAST YEAR WHEN IT COMES TO. AT
TWENTY FORTY FIVE CARBON
NEUTRALITY BUT IT ALSO ALLOWS US
TO TAKE AN X. ESSENTIAL NEXT
STEP AND PUTS THE ENERGY
COMMISSION AND OTHER AGENCIES IN
A LEADERSHIP ROLE- I WANT TO
THANK. ASSEMBLY MEMBER HANEY
FIRST LEADERSHIP IN OFFERING
THIS BILL AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME I'M HAPPY TO HELP ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THE COMMITTEE MAY
HAVE. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO

ISSUES THANK YOU. THANK YOU NEXT
WITNESS. A GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR
BRADFORD AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS KIKI VELEZ
AND I'M A CLEAN BUILDINGS
ADVOCATE AT THE NATURAL
RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL. AS AS
A SHARED CALIFORNIA COULD NOT
MEET ITS CLIMATE TARGETS OR
PROVIDE HEALTHY SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WITHOUT
QUICKLY CUTTING EMISSIONS FROM
THE STATE'S BUILDINGS. IN
ADDITION TO CLIMATE BENEFITS
CREATING A PLAN TO DECARBONIZE
OUR BUILDING SECTOR WILL ALSO
OFFER. CRITICAL CLEAN AIR IN
RESILIENCY CO BENEFITS. TODAY
MORE THAN HALF OF CALL
CALIFORNIANS LIVE IN AREAS WITH
UNSAFE LEVELS OF OZONE POLLUTION
AS DO 99% OF ALL DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. IN THE STATE. IN
BUILDINGS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR
ROUGHLY TWO THIRDS AS MUCH
KNOCKS POLLUTION AS THE STATE
SIXTEEN MILLION PASSENGER
VEHICLES. DECARBONIZING THE
STATE'S BUILDING SECTOR PROVIDES
DIRECT BENEFITS TO LOW INCOME
AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY
BURDENED BY INDOOR AND OUTDOOR
BUILDING EMISSIONS AND THEIR
NEGATIVE HEALTH IMPACTS WHICH
INCLUDE ASTHMA AND OTHER
ILLNESSES. ADDITIONALLY HE PUMPS
THE STATE'S CURRENT ZERO MISSION
APPLIANCE OPTION. IT OFFERS BOTH
HEATING AND COOLING POTENTIAL.
THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FOR
THOSE AT THE FRONT LINES OF
CLIMATE CHANGE AND EXTREME HEAT
EVENTS. SO AS THE REST OF IT
HOMES WITH ZERO MISSION HE PUMPS
WE ARE ALSO SUPPLYING THE
ROUGHLY 25% OF CALIFORNIA HOMES
WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING WITH AN
EXTREMELY EFFICIENT AND CRITICAL
TOOL TO ADDRESS INCREASING
EXTREME HEAT. IN LIGHT OF THESE
CO BENEFITS THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HAVE MADE CRITICAL
INVESTMENTS THROUGH THEM
POLLUTION REDUCTION ACT AND THE
EQUITABLE BUILDING
DECARBONIZATION PROGRAMS. BUT TO
STRATEGICALLY UTILIZE THAT
FEDERAL FUNDING AND STATE
FUNDING AND TO MAXIMIZE BENEFITS
FOR EQUITY COMMUNITIES WE NEED
THE STATE TO CREATE TARGETS AND
DEVELOP A ROADMAP FOR EQUITABLE
BUILDING DECARBONIZATION. AS
CALIFORNIA MAKES THIS TRANSITION
IT'S CENTRAL THAT WE DO SO IN AN
ORGANIZED MANNER THAT MINIMIZES
COSTS INCREASES GRID RESILIENCY
PROTECTS RATEPAYERS PROVIDES
MARKET CERTAINTY FOR CUSTOMERS.
AND CREATES GOOD PAYING JOBS. AB
FIVE NINE THREE WILL ENABLE THAT
COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING THAT WE
NEED TO ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA
MEETS ITS CLIMATE TARGETS WHILE
DELIVERING HEALTH RESILIENCY
BENEFITS OF BUILDING TO CARP TO
ALL OF CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU.

THE COMMITTEE'S SUGGESTED
AMENDMENTS ON PAGE SEVEN ELSE'S
DELETE SECTION THREE OF THE BILL
THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO MY BILL
FROM LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION AB
TEN SIXTY ONE WHICH WAS SIGNED.
INTO LAW. CURRENT THE CURRENT
LAW PROHIBITS MOBILE HOME PARK
MANAGEMENT FROM CHARGING TENANTS
FOR THEIR SUB METERED WATER
SERVICE BEYOND CHARGES PAID BY
MANDATE DIRECTLY TO THE WATERS
SERVICES PROVIDER AT A
REASONABLE INITIATIVE AND THE
REASONABLE ADMISSION FEE AND
PARTLY PARK. OWNER AFFILIATE
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE ARGUED THAT
CERTAIN MOBILE HOME PARKS ARE
EXEMPTED FROM THE STATUTE AS
WRITTEN IN RESPONSE AB SIX OF
FOR THIS BILL CLARIFIES THE
SCOPE OF EXISTING LAW IT'S CAPS
ON WATER SERVICE CHARGE FEES
APPLY TO ALL MOBILE HOME PARK
RESIDENTS. THESE CHARGES MAY
INCLUDE. NEBULOUS CHARGES SUCH
AS CUSTOMER CHARGES OR SERVICE
CHARGES THAT FAR EXCEED THE
CHARGES BILLED TO THE PARK BY
THE SERVING WATER UTILITY.
WITHOUT LIKES IS HAVE MY SPORT
WITNESS TESTIFIED WHICH IS
ROBERT AYE ROGER JOHNSON FROM A
MOBILE HOME PARK RESIDENTS. YOU
HAVE TWO MINUTES. GOOD AFTERNOON
MY NAME IS ROGER JOHNSON ON
BEHALF OF GSM WHILE IN SUPPORT.
IT WAS ONLY TWO YEARS AGO MOBILE
HOME RESIDENTS WERE BEFORE THAT.
THE SAME LEGISLATURE ON THIS
VERY SAME ISSUE. BOTH THE
LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR
AGREED THAT US WITH US THAT
MOBILE HOME RESIDENTS SHOULD PAY
FOR THE WATER WE CONSUME. AND
OUR PROGRAM THIS YEAR OF SERVICE
FEES THAT WATER COMPANIES BILL.
TO OUR PARK OWNERS. THE
LEGISLATURE ALSO AGREED THAT
WHEN WATER IS SUB METERED. PARK
OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO
MARK UP THE PRICE OF WATER AND
MAKE AN ON A FOR PROFIT. BUT
EVEN AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER LEASE
LEGISLATION PASSED AND WAS
SIGNED INTO LAW. MANY PARK
OWNERS CONTINUE TO MAKE UP THEIR
OWN FEES AND CHARGES. SB SIX OH
FOUR WILL CLARIFY WHAT IS LEGAL
AND WHAT IS ILLEGAL FOR PARK
OWNERS TO CHARGE. WE ASK FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT HERE IN THE
ROOM. IF SO STATE YOUR NAME AND
ORGANIZATION. GARY KITTY I'M A
MOBILE HOME ORDER IN CITRUS

THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.

THANK YOU. WELL MONNING MOBILE

THANK YOU. ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES HERE IN ROOM TWELVE
HUNDRED IN SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE. IN SEEN ON LET'S MOVE
OPPOSITION WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. YOU'RE THE PRIMARY
WITNESS IN OPPOSITION YOU HAVE
TWO MINUTE YES THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS SENSE SENATORS- ON
BEHALF OF DEBBIE MAY MY NAME IS
CHRIS WYSOCKI. AND WE
RESPECTFULLY HAVE TO OPPOSE SIX
SO FOR TODAY. W. MAY WE
REPRESENT ABOUT SIXTEEN HUNDRED
PARKS AROUND THE STATE AND WE
AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR THAT WATER
IS SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULDN'T
BE PROFITING FROM. THAT'S WHY WE
BELIEVE PARK RESIDENTS SHOULD BE
DIRECTLY SERVED BY THE LOCAL
WATER AGENCY. WATER SEVEN METERS
. HELP CONSERVE WATER BY HOLDING
RESIDENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
AMOUNT OF WATER THAT THEY
CONSUME. UNFORTUNATELY THE WAY
AB TEN SIXTY ONE WAS WRITTEN AND
PASSED THIS BILL ALSO WILL FORCE
OWNERS TO GO TO A PRO RATTA
BILLING SYSTEM WHICH WILL
DISCOURAGE WATER CONSERVATION.
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS CORRECTLY
NOTED THAT THE FEEL THAT UNDER
TEN SIXTY ONE AND THIS TENT AB
SIX OH FOUR WAS BASED ON A TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN BILL AUTHORED
BY SENATOR LOIS WOLK THAT
APPLIED ONLY TO APARTMENT
COMMUNITIES. MOBILE HOME PARK
SPREAD LATERALLY. APARTMENT
APARTMENT COMMUNITIES SO OFTEN
GO VERTICAL. IT'S MUCH MORE
DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN A WATER
SYSTEM AND A MOBILE HOME PARK IN
AN APARTMENT COMMUNITY. SB SEVEN
ALLOWED FOR A WATER COLLECTION
FEE OF FOUR SEVENTY FIVE A
MONTH. AND THAT WAS ADOPTED IN
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN BUT IT
ALLOWED FOR CPI ADJUSTMENT. THIS
BILL RETRACTS THAT FOR SEVENTY
FIVE AND STARTS THE CLOCK A NEW
. SAID METER READING AND
MAINTENANCE OFTEN COST PER PARK
OWNERS WELL IN EXCESS OF THIS
FEE AND THIS FORCES US TO LOSE
MONEY ON WATER DELIVERY. TWO
ALLOWS SUB METERING. WE ACTUALLY
BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO CHARGE. JUST WHAT THE
LOCAL RESIDENTS THAT ARE NOT
MOBILE HOME PARK SURCHARGE FOR
WATER DELIVERY. FAILING TO TAKE
THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE'VE
OFFERED- WILL SIMPLY ALLOW US TO
SWITCH TO A PRO RATED BILL
BILLING SYSTEM. AND THAT MEANS A
SINGLE RESIDENT WILL BE SPENDING
THE SAME AMOUNT AS A FAMILY OF
FOUR LIVING RIGHT NEXT DOOR. HOW
DOES THAT ENCOURAGE WATER
CONSERVATION. FINALLY WMA
BELIEVES THE BEST SITUATION
ALLOWED TO S. WOULD BE TO GET US
OUT OF THE WATER BUSINESS
ALTOGETHER. WE DON'T BELIEVE WE
SHOULD BE IN THE WATER BASIS WE
DON'T WANT TO MAKE MONEY BUT WE
DON'T WANT TO LOSE MANY
COLLECTING WATER. AND FOR THESE
REASONS AND OTHERS- WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AND TO THE
AUTHORED THE BILL. WHAT BETTER
BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR TOMORROW THEN
FOR US TO OPPOSE YOUR BILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU
ANY OTHER WITH THIS IS YOUR IN
ROOM TWELVE ON YOUR WISHING TO
TESTIFY IN OPPOSITION. SHE NINE
MODERATE LET'S GO TO OUR PHONE
LINE FOR WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OR
IN OPPOSITION OF AB SIX OH FOUR
. THANK YOU LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
. OR OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE
AND ZERO. AND FIRST WE HAVE LINE
NUMBER NINETEEN. AND JUST A
MOMENT. I NUMBER NINETEEN GO
AHEAD. THAT AFTERNOON AROUND
HALF OF THE SANTA CRUZ COUNTY.
BADGERS IN SUPPORT THANK YOU.
AND THAT IS ALL WE HAVE IN HERE
RIGHT NOW. ALL RIGHT LET'S BRING
DISCUSSION BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
ARE THERE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
IN REGARDS TO THIS MEASURE. SIR
WILK YEAH I JUST. THAT THE
OPPONENTS ARGUMENTS SEEM SEEM
SEEM LOGICAL TO ME- TAKING THEIR
MEMBERS WOULD WANT CONSERVE
WATER TO ACTUALLY. HAVE A FAIR
DISTRIBUTION BECAUSE IF YOU'RE
SINGLE PERSON AND THEN YOU'RE
GOING TO PAYING THE SAME IS FOR
PEOPLE- HOW COULD THAT NOT COME
TOGETHER. YES THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME I MEAN IS
THE PURPOSE OF THIS BILL THE
CLARIFY EXISTING LAWS PASSED
TODAY I'LL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT
WHY. AGAIN WHY WE NEED TO
COLLECT EXISTING LAW TODAY AND
WHAT THE OPPOSITION IS PROPOSING
IS I WOULD FEEL MUCH MORE LIKE A
DIFFERENT BILL ALL TOGETHER I
UNDERSTAND THAT SOME. PARKS WE
GET OUT OF WATER THIS ALL
TOGETHER THERE WAS A PROPOSED
BILL THIS SESSION TO MAKE IT AS
FAR BUT THAT WOULD BE KIND OF A
DIFFERENT TOPIC ALTOGETHER THIS
IS REALLY CLARIFYING WHAT WE IS
EXISTING ON TODAY I'LL GIVE YOU
ONE EXAMPLE FROM MY HOMETOWN SAN
JOSE. SO EXISTING LAW RIGHT NOW
SAYS THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE
IS CAPPED AT FOUR DOLLARS AND
SEVENTY FIVE CENTS RIGHT. THIS
PARK IS STILL CHARGING FORTY ONE
DOLLARS AND SEVENTY ONE CENTS IN
SERVICE CHARGE THAT'S THIRTY SIX
DOLLARS AND NINETY. THIRTY SIX
NINETY SIX MORE THAN ALLOWABLE
SUPPOSEDLY PET BECAUSE- RIGHT
NOW THERE'S A- DIFFERENCE OF
INTERPRETATION THERE ARE PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW WE'RE PAYING WAY MORE
IN ADMINISTRATIVE FEES ON THE
OUGHT TO. AND WE KNOW ESPECIALLY
THAT IN MOBILE HOME PARKS THESE
ARE- SUMMER LAST VESTIGES OF-
FOR THE HOUSE ESPECIALLY FOR.
SENIORS ON FIXED INCOMES RIGHT
AND SO WHEN YOU'RE BEING CHARGE
WAY MORE THAN THE LAW SHOULD BE
ALLOWING TO THAT BECAUSE A BIG.
REGION CLARIFICATION NEEDS SO TO
THE THAT QUESTION YOU KNOW THIS
IS ABOUT A VERY SPECIFIC ISSUE
ABOUT THESE FEES AND CHARGES.
ABOUT RESTRUCTURING AND WHOSE
PROVIDE WATER I THINK IS A
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT ISSUE WHICH I
KNOW WE'VE KINDA AND OPPOSITION
I'VE TALKED ABOUT AS A DIFFERENT
PIECE LEGISLATION PERHAPS IN THE
FUTURE. A SO I THAT RESPECT
THAT. IF THEY'RE OF COMPLIANCE
WITH THE LAW. ARE THERE OTHER
REMEDIES FOR. A MOBILE HOME-
PARK OWNERS TO PURSUE. WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE FOR SEVENTY FIVE
MINUTES FORTY ONE BUCKS. WELL
THIS IS WHY WE WANNA MAKE IT
CRYSTAL CLEAR AND LAW AND NOT
HAVE TO HAVE THESE LOCAL PARK
RESIDENTS OR PART BY PART. GO
PURSUE DIFFERENT. MEDICAID DATA
FOLLOW UP TO THAT YES. IS THAT I
BELIEVE AGAIN THE OPPOSITION
SAID. THAT WAS. THE RESULT OF.
LEGISLATING TO SEVENTEEN HE SAID
TWENTY SEVENTEEN FORCE ANY FIVE
IN C. P. I. AFTER THAT. AND IF I
HEARD IT CORRECTLY. YOU'RE GOING
YOU'RE GOING TO. YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO ZERO OR JUST BACK TO
FOUR SEVENTY FIVE OR SIX. SO
LAST YEAR'S BILL AB TEN SIXTY
ONE THAT WAS THE BILL THAT I
AUTHORED IT WAS SIGNED A LAW
THAT WAS. LOOSELY SIMILARLY.
BASED ON THE WORK BUILT ON THE
WALK BILL FROM YEARS AGO. BUT SO
WHAT SO WHAT'S THE NEW
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE. AMONG CLEAR
ON THAT. SO I BELIEVE THE NEW
CAP ON IT IS FOUR SEVENTY FIVE
OKAY I'M GETTING THAT RIGHT THE
MISSING OUT ON THE CPI THAT.
THROUGH ALL THOSE YEARS I AIN'T
TWO KNOTS AFTER BACK TO YOU ON
THAT ONE RIGHT NOW THANK YOU.
CENTER GROVE. AND THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I DID WANT TO
CLARIFY SO IT'S- SO WE'RE NOT
GOING BACK TO ZERO WE'RE GOING
BACK TO FOR SEVENTY FIVE WHICH
IS YOU SAID CURRENTLY ALLOWED
UNDER THAT LAW. YEAH AND THEN
WHEN YOU SAID FOUR SEVENTY FIVE
AND THEN SOME PEOPLE ARE PAYING
FORTY ONE IS THAT PER DAY PER
MONTH PER GALLON I BELIEVE THIS
WOULD BE TO PER MONTH PER MONTH
ON YOUR MONTHLY BILLING WITH THE
BILL. SHIFTS IN A AND IT'S AN
ADMIN FEE YES AND- SORRY GO
AHEAD. I JUST TO SAVE. WHAT THIS
BILL SEEKS THE HARD AT IS TO
MITIGATE WHAT YOU OFTEN APPEARS
WHEN YOU GO MOBILE HOME PARK
RESIDENTS WERE THEY GO LOOK AT
OUR WATER BILL. IT COULD BE
SERVICE SHOP IS A SERVICE CHARGE
ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE WHATEVER
THESE THAT'S ON TOP OF YOUR
USAGE FEE RIGHT NORMALLY IF I
USE A BUNCH OF WATER THAT I PAY
FOR THAT ON WHATEVER. GALLON
BASIS IT IS ON MONTHLY BILL
RIGHT BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO
THESE EXTRA CHARGES THAT SHOW UP
ON HERE- WHAT THIS BILL IS DOING
TO CLARIFY THE LAW THAT WE DID
PASSED TO SAY THAT IT SHOULD BE
CAP THEY SHOULD BE MAKING MORE
EXTRA MONEY. ON TOP OF SOMEONES
USAGE. SO JUST TO CLARIFY WHAT
THE OPPOSITION SAID AND I'D LIKE
YOUR RESPONSE ON IT IF POSSIBLE.
AS THEIR THE COMMENT WAS IS THAT
THEY WERE GOING TO IT- A PERSON
THAT WAS SINGLE WOULD. PAY AS
MUCH AS SOMEBODY WITH FOR IN
MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILY THAT
WAS A COMMENT THAT WOULD BE THE
SAME. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS IF
YOU'RE CHARGED ON USAGE PLUS. A
FOUR DOLLARS AND SEVENTY FIVE
CENTS BE HOW DOES THAT WORK OUT
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THE FAMILY OF
FOUR WOULD USE MORE. WATER THAN
THE SINGLE PERSON. RIGHT I'D
HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS
HYPOTHETICAL ISSUE BUT THE THING
IS. WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS
LIMIT THE AMOUNT THAT THIS FEE
WHAT RIGHT SO WHETHER IT'S A
MOBILE HOME PARK FAMILY OF ONE
OR FOR THE FIIS CAP YOUR USAGE.
WILL DEBATE USAGE PAYMENT WILL
DEPEND ON USAGE PAY RIGHT I MEAN
IF ONE PERSON PAID USE MORE
WATER THE FOR PEOPLE THAT'S THE
CASE. BUT THE WATER BILL SHOULD
STILL STAY- OVERALL. BASED ON
YOUR USAGE STILL. THAT'S WHAT
I'M TRYING TO GET OUT SO. IF A
FAMILY OF FOUR USES HI. YOU
KNOW. I HAD. ONCE PER SE AND IN
A SINGLE PERSON USES TWENTY.
TECHNICALLY THAT. SINGLE PERSON
BILL WOULD NOT BE MORE. NOW AND
DEEP FAMILY OF. NUMBER OF. I
JUST WANT TO BE SURE. YEAH I'D
I'D I DON'T. I DON'T THINK. WITH
THAT HI WITH. MATCH OF THE USE.
OKAY THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU.
SHARE BACK. THANK YOU FOR
WORKING ON THE- AREA. I MEAN I
JUST WE DID HAVE A QUESTION
AROUND AND WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE
SUB METERING SO IS OUR CONCERN
THAT IF THIS IS. THE PRICES ARE
TOO LOW THAT WOULD DISCOURAGE
SUB METERING I THOUGHT PUBLIC
THAT'S- WHEN THINGS ARE HEARD OR
DO YOU STILL FEEL LIKE. THIS IS
SUFFICIENT TO ENCOURAGE SUB
METERING. I DON'T BELIEVE SO BUT
I CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT
WITH MORE DETAIL RESPONSIVENESS
TERRY CENTER. OKAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
BY MEMBERS. ALL RIGHT- WE HAVE A
MOTION. WE HAVE A MOTION BY
SENATOR. GONZALEZ WE HAVE A DEEP
PASSES A MINUTE TO THE COMMITTEE
ON APPROPRIATIONS. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER LEE WHICH ELECTED. OKAY.
THE MINUTES REMOVE CHANGES TO
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES CODE
SECTION TWENTY SEVEN OH FIVE
POINT SIX. SECTION THREE OF THE
BILL. HOUSE DISSECTION PERTAINS
TO WATER SERVICE FOR SUPPLY AND
FACILITIES OWNED BY THE MOBILE
PARK AND NOT MASTER METERED
ARRANGEMENTS SUBJECT TO CIVIL.
CODE SEVEN NINE EIGHT POINT FOUR
ZERO WHERE THE PARK OWNER
RECEIVE SERVICE FROM A WATER
PROVIDE. SO SOMEBODY WHO'S A
COUPLE YEARS AWAY FROM FROM
BEING ON A FIXED INCOME ON THERE
I'M I'M VERY MUCH SINCE IT. IF
IT WAS FOUR SEVENTY FIVE PLUS
THE CPI SINCE TWENTY SEVENTEEN
VERTICALLY SINCE WE'VE HAD
INFLATIONARY TIMES I WOULD BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT THAT BECAUSE I
DON'T THINK THAT ACTORS SHOULD
GET AWAY WITH TO GET AWAY WITH
THAT SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
AUTHORS DOING I'M NOT GONNA BE
ABLE TO VOTE FOR THE BILL TODAY-
AND THAT'S FRUSTRATING BECAUSE
IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO BUT-
I THINK IT'S ALSO FAIR. THAT
PEOPLE WHO WERE ARE LEGITIMATELY
FOLLOWING THE LAW AND NOW
THEY'RE GOING TO GET PENALIZED
BECAUSE OF SOME BAD ACTORS. JUST
TO CLARIFY MISTER CHAIR HE'S
THERE'S NOT INCLUDING CPI IN
THAT THAT FOR SEVENTY FIVE WILL
STAY INTO PERPETUITY IS THAT THE
- SOME OF THE FOUR BUTTONS. SIX
YEAH IS THAT CORRECT. I DON'T
HAVE MY NOTES FROM OF ME IS.
SIMILAR TO LEASE SECTOR. I ALSO
IT LOOK AT ONLY GIVE YOUR ANSWER
IT'S OKAY. I MEAN I'M TRYING TO
DELAY THE BUT I MEAN I WOULD
SUPPORT IT IF IT INCLUDED CPI
OFFICE YOU KNOW WE NEED TO GET
THE INFLATION. I MEAN IF IT'S
GOING TO STATE FOR SEVENTY FIVE
INTO PERPETUITY I THINK THAT'S
AND JUST PUNISHMENT TO THE-
MOBILE HOME OWNERS THEMSELVES
BECAUSE IF THEY HAVE A WATER
INCREASE. IF YOU KNOW GAS GOES
AT TRANSPORTATION COSTS GO UP
THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO A CPI
INDEX WHO BUT I BUT I WAS JUST
AT HERE MAYBE. SORRY.
OKAY SO BASICALLY THE NO. SAID
SO JUST TO CLARIFY FOR THE FOR
YOUR AT YOUR QUESTION THERE IS
NO CPI AND. SOME WOMEN MEMBER
LEE WHICH LIKE CLOSE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK DRIVER TO
CLARIFY THIS AND HELP PROTECT
OUR SENIORS IN MOBILE HOME PARKS

SHE'S PREPARED. YOU MAY BEGIN

YES GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS
I WANT TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AB SIX SIX
TWO IS THE TASHA BE SPECIAL SOME
OF YOU HAVE BEEN IN COMMITTEES
WHERE YOU SEEN OTHER TOUCH TO BE
SPECIAL MY CONSULTANT AMONG YOUR
FRIENDS AND I WROTE THIS
TOGETHER GIVEN THE CHALLENGES
THAT WE HAVE BEEN OBSERVING.
WITH THE PUC'S ADMINISTRATION OF
FEDERAL BROADBAND DOLLARS TO
DATE AND WE HAVE WORKED WITH
ADVOCATES AND COMMITTEE
CONSULTANTS AND INDUSTRY ALIKE
TO ARRIVE AT THE BILL IN FRONT
OF YOU TODAY. AS AMENDED AB SIX
SIX TWO WOULD REQUIRE THE
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION TO STRICTLY FOLLOW
FEDERAL GUIDELINES ESTABLISHED
BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHILE
IMPLEMENTING THE FEDERAL
BROADBAND EQUITY ACCESS AND
DEPLOYMENT BEAT PROGRAM. AS YOU
KNOW BEAT IS WHAT IS A ONE POINT
EIGHT SIX BILLION DOLLAR
BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAM
BEING IMPLEMENTED BY THE PC
PURSUANT TO THE FEDERAL
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND
JOBS ACT WELL THEY DIGITAL
FUNDING IS CERTAINLY GREAT NEWS
FOR CALIFORNIA'S. EFFORTS TO
CLOSE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE THEIR
REASONS FOR THAT WE SHOULD ALL
BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE C. P.
UC'S ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY
ADMINISTER THESE FUNDS BECAUSE
IN TIGHT. MY CONCERN ABOUT WHAT
LIES AHEAD IS WHAT WHY I'M
CARRYING THIS LEGISLATION WITH
TO SPECIFIC GOALS IN MIND FIRST
TO ENSURE THAT THE LEGISLATURE
HAS A REAL VOICE IN IMPLEMENTING
THE PARK PROCESS OF THIS VERY
LARGE SUM OF FUNDING. AND
SECONDLY TO ENSURE THAT WE DO
NOT RESPECT REPEAT THE MISTAKES
OF THE RECENT PAST WITH A
FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNT. TO THIS
FIRST POINT WITHOUT LEGISLATIONS
WE AS MEMBERS HAVE A LIMITED
NUMBER OF TOOLS AVAILABLE MOVING
FORWARD TO HOLD THE C. P. C.
ACCOUNTABLE WHEN IMPLEMENTING
THE B. PROGRAM. AS CHAIR OF THE
ASSEMBLY COMMUNICATIONS GOING
VANCE COMMITTEE WE HAVE HELD
OVERSIGHT HEARINGS WE HAVE
SUBMITTED LETTERS WE'VE DONE
FINAL LETTERS WE'VE DONE ALL
THOSE THINGS AND WE'RE SEEING
VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT AND WHAT IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO CLOSE THE
DIGITAL DIVIDE. YOU MIGHT KNOW
THIS BUT BECAUSE BEAT IS A
FEDERAL PROGRAM THERE ALMOST NO
REQUIREMENTS FROM TO
MEANINGFULLY CONSULTED WITH THE
BUDGET OR POLICY COMMITTEES.
UNLESS WE INSIST ON THIS IN
ADVANCE. AS THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS POINTS OUT THAT OF THE
CPUC WILL BE REQUIRED TO SHARE
THE PLANS WITH THE LEGISLATURE.
WITHIN TEN DAYS OF SUBMITTING
THEIR PLANS THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. BUT THAT DOESN'T
PROVIDE. SINCE THE MINISTRATION
THE CPUC OBJECTED TO ANY MORE
STRINGENT REQUIREMENTS WHICH IS
SUCH WHICH SUGGESTS THAT THEY'RE
NOT INTERESTED. IN COLLABORATION
WITH ANY OF US. INSTEAD OF BEING
REACTIVE APPROACH I'M ASKING FOR
YOU TO SUPPORT TODAY. IS TO BE
PROACTIVE. ABOUT THE DIRECTION
OF THESE FUNDS AND TO ENSURE THE
LEGISLATURE REMAINS ENGAGED. TO
THE SECOND GOAL ON A VITAL. ON
AVOIDING PAST MISTAKES. I'M
REMINDED OF ALL THE ISSUES THAT
AROSE DURING THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNT.
ASK YOURSELVES HOW MANY HAVE YOU
HEARD FROM STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE
CQC ISSUED THEIR FIRST PROPOSED
DECISION. ON THE PROGRAM RULES.
FOR THE FFA BACK IN APRIL TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. THAT'S A YEAR AND A
HALF AGO. JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO
WE'RE IN THE SAME POSITION WITH
STAKEHOLDERS WERE UP IN ARMS
ABOUT THE C. P. UC'S. PRIORITY
AREA MAPS. THE CPC HAS BARELY
STARTED ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
FOR THAT FUNDING AFTER TWO YEARS
OF DELAY. AND THEY WON'T BEGIN A
WARNING THE FIRST GRANTS INTO
THE END OF THE YEAR. THAT DELAY
IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE PRIORITY
MAPS AND UNDERLYING CRITERIA
WERE NOT REQUIRED BY STATUTE
IT'S JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE
CPC GOING ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT
WAS REASONABLE OR NECESSARY
WHICH IS AN IN THE END HAS
CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DELAY. AND
JEOPARDIZES THOSE FEDERAL
DOLLARS GETTING OUT TO THE
PEOPLE WHO NEED IT CALIFORNIA.
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPEAT THIS
MISTAKE OF THE PAST AND WE MUST
HOLD THE CPC TWO BASIC SANDERS
AS THEY MOVE FORWARD TO
HOPEFULLY MAKE THE B. PROGRAM A
SUCCESS. THAT IS I THINK OUR
COMMON GOAL. AND THE SUCCESS OF
THE PROGRAM BUT IN ORDER TO GET
THERE I BELIEVE THAT LEGISLATURE
NEEDS TO REMAIN ENGAGED. LASTLY
TO THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS I
WANT EXPRESS MY INTENT IS HE CAN
EAT THANK YOU WORKING WITH THE
COMMITTEE TO CLEAN UP ON SOME OF
THE DRAFTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS. THAT MATTER THAT'S
CONSISTENT ON WHAT WE'RE VOTING
ON TODAY. FOR EXAMPLE THE
DEFINITION OF LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLD AND LOW. COST
BROADBAND OPTION WILL REMAIN IN
THE BILL. DESPITE THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS STRIKING THE SECTIONS
WERE THOSE DEFINITIONS. ARE
RELEVANT. WE SHOULD BE RESOLVING
THESE ISSUES. ADDITIONALLY ON
THE AUTHORITY OF THE CPC TO
PRIORITIZE APPLICANTS THAT
COMMIT TO ADDRESSING
AFFORDABILITY. I'M READING THE
INTENT OF THOSE AMENDMENTS A
SUPPORTER OF PRIORITY-
PRIORITIZING AFFORDABILITY. BUT
THE LANGUAGE COULD BE MORE CLEAR
AND DIRECT IF THAT IS OUR TRUE
INTENT. WITH THAT IN MIND
ALTERNATE BACK THAT YOU'RE
BRADFORD AND I WELCOME ANY
QUESTIONS BECAUSE OF THE TO BE A
SPECIAL WE HAVE NO WITNESSES.
IT'S JUST ME. AND MY CONSULTANT
IF I NEED SOME HELP. CHAU ARE
THERE NO INDECISION. IN THE ROOM
IN SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE.
HEARING TO. WHEN THIS IS NOT.
SEARCH YOUR NAME IN YOUR
ORGANIZATION. GOOD AFTERNOON
CHAIR BRADFORD AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I'M FROM-
CHRISTENSEN FROM THE- PUBLIC
ADVOCATE'S OFFICE. WHY WE
APPRECIATE. THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS. WE RECEIVED ON JULY
SEVENTH THAT PRESERVE THE CPC'S
AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE MEANINGFUL
AFFORDABILITY PLANS FOR BOTH LOW
INCOME. AND MIDDLE CLASS
FAMILIES CONCERNS REMAIN. BY
PROHIBITING THE CPC FROM
ADOPTING RULES NOT EXPLICITLY
REQUIRED BY THE FEDERAL RULES.
THE BILL LIMITS THE CPC'S
ABILITY TO TAILOR. THE PROGRAM
THE CALIFORNIANS NEEDS. FOR
EXAMPLE THIS PROVISION COULD
PREVENT THE CPC FROM ADOPTING
ANY INCENTIVES REGARDING
EFFICIENT USE OF THE STATE
MIDDLE MILE PROJECT. THIS
PROVISION ALSO COULD DELAY THE
DISTRIBUTION OF FEDERAL FUNDS
BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL LITIGATION.
OVER WHAT IS EXPLICITLY REQUIRED
. BECAUSE OF THESE CONCERNS WE
BELIEVE THIS BILL SHOULD NOT
MOVE FORWARD UNLESS IT IS
FURTHER AMENDMENT AMENDED TO
REMOVE THIS PROVISION. THANK YOU
Q. NEXT WHICH- GOOD AFTERNOON MR
SCHIRMER SIGNALS OR HERNANDEZ ON
BEHALF OF TURN WE ECHO THE SAME
CONCERNS THE PRIOR WITNESS-
LIMIT LET ME JUST ADD I DO
APPRECIATE THE MOMENTS THAT THE
COMMITTEE- HAS PUT IN AND THINK
IT WAS A BILL IN A BETTER
DIRECTION BUT WE ARE CONCERNED
THAT. THE STATE EARLIER THE
COMMISSION'S HANDS WILL BE TIED
IN LIMITED TO COME UP WITH BOTH
CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE
SOLUTIONS. AND POLICIES AND
THAT'S VERY CONCERNING FOR US
THE FEDERAL FEDERAL PROCESS IS
STILL ONGOING AND ESPECIALLY
THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF
COLLECTING PUBLIC COMMENT AS IS
THE STATE PROCESS OF THE
COMMISSION TURN IS ENGAGED AT
THE COMMISSION TO TRY TO ENSURE
THAT IT'S ROBUST. COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT PROCESS AND THEN WE
GET GOOD INFORMATION FROM THOSE
ON THE GROUND AND THAT WE INFORM
SOME OF THE DECISIONS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE MADE AT THE
COMMISSION AND THE SOME OF THE
SOLUTIONS THAT ARE COME UP BY
THE COMMISSION THIS BILL COULD
FRONT WILL FRUSTRATE THAT.
PROCESS AND WILL IN SOME WAYS
LIMIT THE ABILITY OF THE
COMMISSION TO COME UP WITH SOME
VERY STRONG POLICIES AND THAT'S
CONCERNING FOR SITTING AT THE
NECESSARY AND- WE OPPOSED. THE
BILL FOR THOSE REASONS. THANK
YOU NOT TO A DISTANT. YES GOOD
AFTERNOON SHERRIN MEMBERS TRACY
ROSENBERG FROM MEDIA ALLIANCE
ONCE AGAIN. WE ARE OPPOSED TO
AB. SIX SIX TWO FOR THE REASONS
PREVIOUSLY STATED. THANK YOU ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION HERE IN ROOM TWELVE
HUNDRED. SHE NONE. MODERATOR FOR
QATAR PHONE LINE FOR WITNESSES
IN SUPPORT OR IN OPPOSITION OF
AB SIX SIX TWO. THANK YOU LADIES
AND GENTLEMEN IF YOU WISH TO
SPEAK ON A. B. SIX SIX TWO
PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN ZERO. THIS
PRESS ONE THEN ZERO TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION OF AB. SIX
SIX TWO. AND WE HAVE NO ONE IN
Q. RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA BRING BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS AS RELEASES MEASURE
SENATOR GONZALEZ. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER I KNOW WE'VE
TALKED OFTEN ABOUT BROADBAND AND
YOUR TALK SHOULD BE SPECIALS
BUT- FOR THIS BILL IN PARTICULAR
OF A COUPLE QUESTIONS I KNOW- I
GUESS WE'LL STATE WITH SAYING
LOOK I'M NOT ALWAYS ON ON BOARD
WITH WHAT THE PC HAS DONE. IN
THE PAST AND PAST SORT OF
DECISIONS AND PROCESSES WITH THE
PC BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IN THIS
PROCESS WITH BROADBAND HAVING
YOU KNOW LEGISLATIVE ON
BROADBAND OF COURSE MANY OF US
HAVE HERE AND- IN THIS ROOM- I
THINK THERE HAVE HAS BEEN SOME
SORT OF. OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCALS
TO BE INVOLVED FOR AN ENGAGEMENT
THAT HAS SEEMED TO BE A LITTLE
BIT MORE ROBUST THAN THE NORMAL
TIMES- BUT WITH THAT SAID CAN
YOU TALK ABOUT WHO HAS BEEN AT
THE TABLE WITH THIS PARTICULAR
BILL BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS. A
FEELING THAT THERE'S A LACK OF
THAT ENGAGEMENT WITH THIS BILL
AND IT JUST DOES LIMIT- YOU KNOW
THE ABILITY FOR THE P. YOU SEE
TO. ENSURE THAT UNDERSERVED
UNSERVED COMMUNITIES PER THE
OPPOSITION. WOULD BE SERVED
EFFECTIVELY SO CAN YOU SURE-
PART OF BEAT IS THE
AFFORDABILITY ASPECT YEAH AND SO
THE EXPECT EXPRESS INTENTION OF
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM. IS TO SERVE
UNDERSERVED AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. SO THERE'S NOTHING
ON OUR BILL THAT WOULD PREVENT
THAT BUT WHEN WE REACHED OUT WE
WERE DRAFTED A VERSION WE REACH
OUT WITH AMENDMENTS. AND WE
TALKED TO TURN PUBLIC ADVOCATE'S
OFFICE OF THE CPC THE CALIFORNIA
ALLIANCE FOR SOCIAL EQUITY RURAL
COUNTY REPRESENTATIVES NEXT GEN
POLICY INDUSTRY INCLUDING U. S.
TELECOM CAL BROADBAND. AND WE
HAVE REVIEWED ALL THE PUBLIC
COMMENTS SUBMITTED TO THE CPUC
THUS FAR. SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE
GOTTEN AND THE BILL TRIES KIND
OF THREAD THE NEEDLE ON HOW DO
YOU ALLOW. ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY.
HONESTLY GO SPECIALLY WITH
COMMITTEE MOMENTS HOW DO YOU
ALLOW ENOUGH FLEXIBILITY THAT
THEY CAN RESPOND TO THAT WITHOUT
LETTING THEM DO THE PRIORITY
MAPPING AREA THIS WHOLE PRIORITY
MAPPING AREA THAT THEY DID WITH
THE FFA- GOSH I DON'T KNOW FIVE
POLITE WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT
THAT HOW THAT HAPPENED BUT- YOU
KNOW. REALLY DID NOT- REACH THE
GOAL THAT WE WANTED WHICH WAS TO
REALLY CLOSE THE DONUT HOLES AND
REALLY SERVE DISADVANTAGED AND
ON UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES. SO
THEY WENT THROUGH A YEAR AND A
HALF LONG DELAY. WITH NOT THE
OUTCOME THAT WE WANTED TO
ACHIEVE. SO I DON'T KNOW IF I
WOULD HAVE FAITH IN THE C. P. C.
IN FACT I CAN SAY I DON'T HAVE
FAITH IN THE CQC'S PROCESS. WELL
CERTAIN ADVOCATES MAY FEEL THAT.
THEY HAVE MORE ABILITY TO
INFLUENCE THE CPUC THAN SAY
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE. I CAN
SEE HOW PEOPLE THOSE PEOPLE
WITHIN OPPOSE THIS BILL BUT THE
REALITY IS. THE CPUC WILL NEVER
LISTEN TO US IF WE DON'T HAVE A
BILL LIKE SIX SIX TWO. AND I'M
COMMITTED TO GET AS I SAID IN MY
OPENING STATEMENT TO CONTINUE TO
WORK ON ON SOME OF THE DRAFTING
OF THE LANGUAGE I THINK THAT'S
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CHAIR AND
I FROM LAST WEEK WHEN WE AGREED
TO TAKE THE MOMENTS. THAT MY
CONSULTANT AND THIS COMMITTEE
CONSULT WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THAT LANGUAGE. I'VE I WOULD
HAPPY TO PERSONALLY MEET WITH
ANYBODY OVER THE RECESS. TECH
CONTINUED HERE HOW DO WE MAKE IT
FLEXIBLE- SO THAT THEY FEEL
THEIR SITE IS HARD BUT WE HAVE
TO PUT GUARDRAILS ON THE CPUC OF
THIS FUNDING ARE GONNA SEE THE
SAME DELAYS. AND JUST TO BE
CLEAR THE DELAYS WERE SEEING
WITH THE FFA. MEAN THAT NOT ALL
THOSE FEDERAL DOLLARS WILL BE
IMPLEMENTED CALIFORNIA WE'RE NOT
GONNA BE ABLE TO RIP UP ALL THE
ROADS AND LAY. FIBER TO THE HOME
AND BROADBAND EVERYWHERE IN
CALIFORNIA IN A PERIOD OF TWO
YEARS. AND SEE IF YOU LOOK AT
WHAT THAT DELAY IS COSTING US.
IT'S COSTING US. THE ABILITY TO
CLOSE THE DIGITAL DIVIDE AND
THAT'S WHY PROVIDING SIX SIXTY.
HELLO THANK YOU FOR THAT DO YOU
THINK THAT THIS WOULD ADD- SOME
FURTHER DELAYS IN FOR FURTHER
COMPLICATIONS IS- SOMEBODY
MENTIONED. NOT TO MENTION FROM
TURNED IN TERMS OF FRUSTRATING
THE SYSTEM BECAUSE- THE TIMING
AND YOU HAD. I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE MENTIONED AN URGENCY
CLAUSE BECAUSE- THE- THE- THE B.
PROGRAM IS. CURRENTLY WORKING ON
A FIVE YEAR PLAN. MULTIPLE PLANS
SO EVERYTHING SORT OF MOVING
FORWARD AND THEN. THE SORT OF
DISRUPT THAT SYSTEM SO ALL I
TRIED- SO LIKE THERE'S A FIVE
YEAR FRAMEWORK IT'S MORE LIKE AN
OUTCAST. RIGHT IT'S NOT ACTUALLY
A- DETAILED PLAN. THE FIVE YEAR
PLAN THAT'S DUE BY THE END OF
AUGUST. THERE'S A THIRTY DAY
COMMENT PERIOD THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT FOR THIS IF YOU SEE.
TO TAKE OUR FEEDBACK AS MEMBERS.
OR ANY OF THE PUBLIC FEEDBACK.
THEY HAVE THIRTY DAYS FOR PUBLIC
COMMENT. AND THEY COULD OR COULD
NOT TAKE ANY OF THAT FEEDBACK.
THAT'S THE CURRENT PLAN. WE
THOUGHT ABOUT AGENT URGENCY
CLASS WE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST
WEEK ABOUT SOMETHING WE CAN
CONSIDER- THAT WOULD SAY AS SOON
AS THE SIGNED INTO LAW. THERE
WOULD BE THAT URGENCY CLAUSES
GOING TO FACT. AND THEN THE CQC
IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE FULL
PLAN. FIGHT AT THE END OF
DECEMBER. AND UNTIL THAT IS
APPROVED BY THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
ON THAT FULL DECEMBER PLAN NO
BEAT FUNDING WILL BE RELEASED SO
WE'RE NOT INTERFERING WITH THE
RELEASE OF FUNDING WHAT WE'RE
DOING IS WE'RE TRYING TO. TELL
THEM TO PUT THE GUARD RAILS WERE
YOU HAVE. PUBLIC COMMENT FROM
OUR ADVOCATES. INTO THE PROCESS
WE HAVE PUBLIC ARE WE HAVE
CAUGHT- THE POSITION OF THE
LEGISLATURE. INTO THE AS THOSE
GUARDRAILS THE CPC AND STILL
ENSURE THAT GOES FORWARD AND WE
DO NOT HAVE ANY CONCERNS. THAT
THEY'LL BE ABLE TO DO THAT. WITH
IF THERE IS AN URGENCY CLASS
ADDED SO WE'RE HAPPY TO. TO
CONSIDER THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD
OKAY SO I THINK THERE'S SOME
DIFFERENCE IN OPINION IN THAT
WELL THE AND THAT'S- THAT'S
ACTUALLY WE'VE BEEN WATCHING ALL
THE THINGS THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT
THE TIME LINE IS. OKAY TO BE
PROGRAM RIGHT BUT I THINK THAT
THERE'S JUST SOME DIFFERENCE ON
HOW THIS WOULD AFFECT YOU KNOW
WHAT'S ALREADY MOVING FORWARD
BUT- THE LAST QUESTION I HAVE
BEEN- IS JUST. THE OPPOSITE
BRINGS FORWARD A- LA ON. EXCESS
FUNDING THAT WILL HAVE THE
EFFECT OF LIMITING COMPETITION
IN THE BROADBAND MARKET PLACE
AND EXCLUDING FROM ELIGIBILITY.
MOST IF NOT ALL PROJECTS
PROPOSED BY MUNICIPAL NONPROFIT
AND INDEPENDENT THERE'S NOTHING
THE BILL THAT SAYS THAT. THE M.
WHAT'S LEFT IN THE BILL IS THE
PROBLEM WHICH THE PROHIBITS THE
CPUC FROM IMPORTING RULES
PROCESS THESE PROCEDURES
PROHIBITIONS. THAT ARE NOT
EXPLICITLY REQUIRED BY THE
FEDERAL GUIDELINES. BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE DONE WITH
FFA AND HASN'T WORK FOR OUR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. SO WE
DON'T WANT TO LET THEM DO THAT
AGAIN- REQUIRES A SI PC TO ACT
ON APPLICATIONS WITHIN A HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS AND WE HAVE HEARD. A
HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS AS LITTLE
TOO RESTRICTIVE MAYBE WE NEED
TO. REFINE THAT HAPPY TO
CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE.
CONVERSATIONS BUT ONE OF THE
THINGS YOU SEE WITH FFA IT'S
TAKEN US A YEAR AND A HALF TO
EVEN OPEN THE APPLICATIONS.
OTHER STATES ARE ALREADY
PUTTING. FIBER IN THE GROUND.
AND WE'RE NOT WE JUST OPEN
APPLICATIONS AND THE FIRST
GRANTS FOR FFA WILL GO OUT AT
THE END OF THIS YEAR. AND
THAT'S- ULTIMATELY GOING TO
HINDER THE CLOSURE OF THE
DIGITAL DIVIDE AND BOTH RURAL
COMMUNITIES. AS WELL AS OUR ROOM
AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
AND THE FINAL THING THAT'S LEFT
IN THE BILL'S RECOMMENDATIONS
FROM THAT TO THE LEGISLATURE. ON
HOW TO COORDINATE THE VARIOUS
LAST MILE PROGRAMS
INFRASTRUCTURE GRANT ACCOUNTS
THE FEDERAL FUNDING ACCOUNT AND
BEAT. ONE OF THE PROBLEMS ARE
LAST MILE ACCOUNTS. IS THERE'S
WE HAD A AN OVERSIGHT HEARING OR
WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE CPUC.
SPECIFICALLY ON THIS AND THERE'S
NO THEY DON'T WE HAVE NOT HEARD
A CONCRETE PLAN. ALL THE LAST
MILE PROGRAMS ARE PUT TOGETHER
ESPECIALLY FOR MUSIC MISTER
POLITIES AND NONPROFITS. THEY'RE
NOT CLEAR. IF THEY'RE ELIGIBLE
FOR ONE PROGRAM OR ANOTHER CAN
THEY APPLY FOR BOTH. SO THAT'S
THE OTHER THING THAT SIX SIX TWO
DOES IT REQUIRES THE
COORDINATION OF ALL THAT LAST
MILE PROGRAMS. AND I THINK THAT
ULTIMATELY IS WHAT'S GOING TO
MAKE A REALLY ROBUST- PROCESS
THAT DOES CLOSE THE DIGITAL
DIVIDE. FOR CALIFORNIANS. OKAY
WELL I THANK YOU FOR THE OF
THOSE ANSWERS I EIGHT I STILL
HAVE- I THINK WE'VE SHARED THIS
DISCUSSION AND I STILL HAVE
SOME. ISSUES WITH THE BILL I HAD
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW
THOSE- PARTICULAR ISSUES WERE
ADDRESSED I WILL BE. WILL NOT BE
VOTING ON THIS BILL TODAY I
ENCOURAGE YOU AND I KNOW YOU
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION ON THIS- BUT I DO
THINK THAT THERE. IN MY OPINION
I FEEL LIKE THIS DOES DISRUPT
THAT SYSTEM AND I DON'T KNOW-
HOW THIS WILL. CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE. THE GOOD WORK THAT HAS
BEEN DONE SO FAR OVER THE LAST
COUPLE YEARS. TO ENSURE MORE
MOST IMPORTANTLY. ANSWERED
UNDERSERVED THE AFFORDABILITY
PIECE- ARE PRIORITIZED AND THAT.
AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT
PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEIR- THAT
THEY HAVE A PLACE AT THE TABLE
FOR THESE DISCUSSIONS THAT ARE
SO VERY IMPORTANT SO- WITH THAT.
THANK YOU. AND AS I SAID YOU
KNOW THIS IS A TV IT SPECIAL SO
WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH ANYBODY
IF THEY WANT TO COME TO US AND-
HAVE A CONTINUOUS CONVERSATIONS
BUT THANK YOU. HOPEFULLY THE
VERSION THAT IF IT GETS OUT OF
COMMITTEE TODAY. THROUGH
APPROPRIATIONS GETS THE FOR
SOMETHING THAT YOU COULD SUPPORT
CENTER DORADO. YES TO STICK A
QUICK QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO
LEGISLATURE- I JUST HAVE THIS
HAND WRITTEN I DON'T KNOW WHERE
I GOT IT FROM BUT- YOU MAKE
REFERENCE TO- LEGISLATIVE.
PRIORITIES THAT. MAY OR MAY NOT.
ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED HER
COULD NOT BE ADDRESSED. SO
WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW IS I'VE
HELD OVERSIGHT HEARINGS I'VE
WRITTEN LETTERS- I'VE MET WITH
COMMISSIONERS. AND WE'RE NOT
SEEING THE CHANGE AND THE CHANGE
WE'RE ASKING FOR IS EXACTLY THE
CHANGE I THINK. OUR COMMUNITY
ADVOCATES WANT TO SEE IS THAT
ARE WE PRIORITIZING. THOSE
PROGRAMS THAT GO ABOVE AND
BEYOND AND ARE SERVING
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES ARE
THEY SERVING RURAL COMMUNITIES
ARE THEY- SAYING THE REALLY HARD
TO BUILD OUT AREAS- AND THAT'S
WHAT WE WANT TO SEE AND SO.
WE'RE NOT SEEING THE CPC COMING
UP WITH RULES IN THEIR CURRENT
PROGRAM- OBVIOUSLY. WE'RE COMING
INTO THE THIRTY DAY COMMENT
WINTER WINDOW FOR THE FIVE YEAR
PLAN FOR. SPEED AND WE WILL BE
PROVIDING FEEDBACK THROUGH THAT
PROCESS AS WELL BUT WE HAVEN'T
SEEN THE RESPONSIVENESS FROM THE
CPC. ON THAT THEY ACTUALLY WANT
TO TAKE OF THE FEEDBACK FROM
LEGISLATURE SERIOUSLY AND THAT'S
WHY I THINK WE NEED SIX SIX TWO.
TO SET THOSE GUARDRAILS. OKAY I
WILL ALSO BE LAYING OFF BUT- I
AM VERY VERY INTERESTED IN AND-
HOPEFULLY WE KEEP ADDING GET
THERE YES. I THINK DEFINITELY
KEEP BOTH OF YOUR OFFICES AND
FOR. THINKING ANY FURTHER
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS CENTER
SECTOR. SO I HOPE WITH THEIR
BODY LAYING OFF AT THIS BILL
CONTINUES TO GO FORWARD SOMEHOW-
BECAUSE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED- MY PEOPLE MY DISTRICT
ASKING ABOUT. THIS PROCESS AND
WHERE THEY ARE IN THIS PROCESS
AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO BENEFIT
NEEDS ARE DISADVANTAGED AREAS
THAT DON'T HAVE BROADBAND RIGHT
NOW. AND AND WE REALLY DON'T
HAVE ANY ANSWERS. EVEN AFTER
HAVING HEARINGS WITH THESE FOLKS
. SO THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY
WE'RE JUST WAITING AND HOPING
THAT THEY GET THROUGH THE
PROCESS. AND AT THE END OF THIS
PROCESS. IT WERE WRONG. AND IT
FAILS WE LOSE A BUNCH OF FEDERAL
FUNDING. SO I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ALLOW THIS TO GO
FORWARD SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE
TO CREATE THESE GUARD RAILS SO
THAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IS
GOING ON AND THE GOOD WORK. THAT
YOU I'VE HEARD ABOUT. SOMEBODY'S
MENTIONED WE'VE AND WE'VE
THEY'RE DOING GOOD WORK WELL I
HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT IT. I SURE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT I SURE
WOULD LIKE KNOW WHERE THIS IS
GOING AND I WOULD SURE LIKE TO
HAVE SOME ASSURANCE THAT
SOMEHOW. AT THE END OF THE DAY
THIS IS GOING TO SIT BE
SUCCESSFUL SO THAT WE CAN TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE FEDERAL DOLLARS
ARE OUT THERE. SO I WILL BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL- I WANT
THIS PROCESS TO WORK I WANT THIS
BROADBAND PLAN THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO ON THE
ASSEMBLY. TO WORK. AND AND I
THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO DO HERE. AND SO I APPRECIATE
THAT WITH THAT- MOVE THE BILL.
THANK YOU ANY FURTHER.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SENATOR
DALLAS. SO I JUST AM SO YOU
MENTIONED. IS THE IS THE ROLE
COUNTIES IN OPPOSITION OUR VIEW
THEY THEY MOVED TO NEUTRAL OR
WHAT WHERE THEY ARE. SO TO BE
FRANK THE AMENDMENTS CAME OUT
LAST WEEK AND I THINK THAT WE
THINK. YOU KNOW THERE MIGHT BE
SOME QUESTION AROUND THE HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS STILL FOR SOME OF
THE- ADVOCATES WE THINK MOST
OPPOSITION WITH THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WE TOOK SHOULD MOVE TO
NEUTRAL BUT I DON'T WANT TO
SPEAK FOR THEM. THANK YOU. ANY
FURTHER. DISCUSSIONS QUESTIONS
OR CONCERNS. IN CHAIN. NINE-
YOUR MOTION ON THIS MEASURE.
SANDERS ARE YOUR SENSORS ARTERY
WE HAVE A DO PASS AS A MINUTE TO
THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
SENATOR. I MEAN ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE THANK
YOU FOR GIVING ME A PROMOTION I
MEAN I'M A MOTION IN MY- THANK
YOU MEMBERS FOR YOUR QUESTIONS
AND COMMENTS AND THANK YOU
SENATOR GONZALEZ AND ALL OF YOU
THAT HAVE WORKED ON BROADBAND.
OVER THE LAST YEARS FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE. IN
CLOSING I WANT TO REITERATE WHY
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IS ENGAGE IN SHAPING
THE FUTURE OF THE B. PROGRAM.
THEIR BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THE
LINE NOT JUST WITH THE BEAT
PROGRAM BUT WITH ALL THE
EXISTING LAST MILE. PROGRAMS
UNDER THE CPC'S AUTHORITY. SINCE
THE PASSAGE OF SB ONE FIFTY SIX
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF REACTING TO
WHAT COMES OUT OF THE CPC. I
THINK IT'S TIME THAT WE SHIFT
OFFENSE. ALTHOUGH BROADBAND
POLICY IS COMPLEX THERE ARE
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ON HOW
BEST HOW TO BEST CLOSE THE
DIGITAL DIVIDE. THERE'S NO
GETTING AROUND THE FACT THAT
DECISIONS WILL BE MADE BY THE
CPC ON THE DESIGN OF THE P.
PROGRAM. WE CAN EITHER BE
PROACTIVE AND HELP GUIDE AND
SHAPE THAT CONVERSATION TO
LEGISLATION OR WE CAN WAIT TO
REACT FOR WHAT WILL IN HAVE.
INVARIABLY BE PROBLEMATIC IN THE
FUTURE. I'M IN FAVOR OF THE
FORMER. I THINK WE AS
LEGISLATORS LEGISLATORS HAVE A
ROLE TO PLAY IN SHAPING THE
PROGRAM THAT AFFECTS. THE MOST
DISADVANTAGED CONSTITUENTS. BOTH
URBAN AND RURAL. AND I HOPE YOU
WILL BE THERE WITH ME IF NOT
TODAY THEN WHEN IT CUTS THE
SENATE FLOOR. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR IPHONE. THANK YOU AND
I'LL JUST COMMENT THAT I DON'T.
THINK THIS SOME OF THE MEMBERS
MADE IT QUITE CLEAR THAT SHE'S
COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THE
LEGISLATURE HAS A VOICE. ON HOW
FEDERAL BROADBAND FUNDS ARE
BEING SPENT HERE IN THE STATE.
AND I'M CONFIDENT THE AUTHOR
WILL CONTINUE. HER WORK. WITH
THIS COMMITTEE ON ANY FURTHER
CHANGES THAT MAY BE NEEDED TO
ENSURE. THAT WE CAN MEET. THAT
GOAL WITHOUT DELAYING THE
STATE'S ABILITY TO DRAW DOWN
THESE FEDERAL FUNDS SO THAT'S

FILE ITEM SEVEN AB TEN SIXTY ONE
THANK YOU. WAS CHAIRED
COLLEAGUES SAID THE ANALYSIS
DOES A GOOD JOB AND-
ARTICULATING WHAT THE BILL DOES
SO I'LL BE BRIEF THIS BILL
REQUIRES THE PROPERTY- IN
NINETEEN BY RESTART OR THE
RESOURCES PROCURED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES.
PART OF THE ELECTRICITY RESERVE
THAT THE PROGRAM BE SUBJECT TO
THE CAP AND TRADE AND HAVE THE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
REPORTED TO THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD IN ESSENCE THAT'S WHAT THE
BILL DOES WE HAVE ONE WITNESS
SAID CAITLYN RODNER CENTER WITH
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SHE IS THE
DIRECTOR OF THE- RADAMEL DEFENSE
FUND. THANK YOU HAVE TO MANAGE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE- CAITLYN RUNNER
CENTER CALIFORNIA DIRECTOR FOR
EDF I THINK MANY OF YOU ARE
FAMILIAR WITH EDF WE ARE AN
ENVIRONMENT AND INTERNATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL NGO- WORKING ON A
NUMBER OF ISSUES HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND AROUND THE WORLD-
BUT A LOT ON CLIMATE AND ENERGY
POLICY HERE INCLUDING THE CAP
AND TRADE PROGRAM- WE'RE VERY
PLEASED TO SUPPORT AB TEN SIXTY
ONE. AND WE APPRECIATE SPEAKER
EMERITUS RENDON AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER GARCIA FOR
BRINGING IT FORWARD.
FUNDAMENTALLY THIS BILL IS ABOUT
PROVIDING CLARITY AND
CONSISTENCY TO ENSURE THAT ANY
ELECTRICITY RESOURCES BROUGHT
ONLINE AS PART OF THE STRATEGIC
RELIABILITY RESERVE ARE SUBJECT
TO THE SAME REQUIREMENTS AND
OBLIGATIONS AS OTHER ELECTRICITY
RESOURCES. NAMELY THE REPORTING
OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
COMPLIANCE WITH THE CAP AND
TRADE PROGRAM. WE ALL RECALL THE
ROLLING BLACKOUTS OF A FEW YEARS
AGO IN THE STATE HAS TAKEN
SIGNIFICANT STEPS TO KEEP THE
LIGHTS AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OUR
AIR CONDITIONING ON- BUT AT THE
SAME TIME WE SHOULD BE MAKING
SURE THAT THOSE ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES TO THE EXTENT. THAT WE
NEED TO CALL UPON THEM. UPHOLD
THE SAME STANDARDS OF CLIMATE
PROTECTION THAT WE EXPECT FROM
THE REST OF THE POWER SECTOR IN
CALIFORNIA. AND OVER THE LAST
TWENTY YEARS OR SO CALIFORNIA
HAS SEEN REALLY NOTABLE DECLINES
IN GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM
THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR. I'M
INCLUDING THE INTENSITY OF
EMISSIONS FROM THE ELECTRICITY
SECTOR SO THE EMISSIONS PER
MEGAWATT HOUR OF POWER. HAS BEEN
CUT IN HALF AT THE SAME TIME OUR
ECONOMY HAS GROWN- AND WE'VE
TAKEN SOME REALLY IMPRESSIVE
STRIDES INTO POINT ZERO MISSION
RESOURCES. THE CAP AND TRADE
PROGRAM PROVIDES A REALLY
POWERFUL INCENTIVE TO PRIORITIZE
RENEWABLE AND ZERO EMISSION
RESOURCES OVER FOSSIL FUELS. AND
ANY ADDITIONAL GENERATION THAT
IS BROUGHT ONLINE AS PART OF
THIS RESERVE SHOULD FOLLOW THE
SAME PATH- SO BY PROVIDING THIS
CLARITY AB TEN SIXTY ONE JUST
HELPS ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA.
STAYS ON TRACK- FROM ALL OF OUR
POWER SECTOR EMISSIONS AND
KEEPING US COOL FOR THE SUMMER
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES HERE AND
TWELVE HUNDRED IN SUPPORT OF. AB
TEN SIXTY ONE. C. NINE WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION. THERE ARE NONE.
LET'S GO TO OUR PHONE LINES FOR
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION OF AB TEN SIX ONE.
THEY EMIGRATE TO MAKE COMMENTS
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. THAT'S.
ONE ZERO. THERE'S CURRENTLY NO
QUEUING UP AT THIS TIME MISTER
CHAIR. WILL BRING BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE SENATOR BECKER. THANK
YOU. THAT IS A MEMBER OF THE-
QUESTION. I MEAN THIS BILL
SOURCES TO POSIT THAT THESE
FACILITIES ARE NOT ALREADY
SUBJECT TO THESE RULES- AND- HER
SISTER SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY-
PRETTY CLEAR THAT THEY THAT THEY
ARE I GUESS QUESTIONS. ARE THERE
EXAMPLES WERE D. W. R. OR THE
FACILITIES ARE CLAIMING THEY ARE
SOMEHOW EXEMPT- AND I'M JUST
TRYING TO WHAT. WHITE WHEN YOU
THINK THIS BILL IS NEEDED. THE
CARD TO THE AUTHOR AND THE
POINTS THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN IS
THAT IT'S UNCLEAR WHETHER OR
NOT. THEY ARE GOING TO BE
ACCOUNTED FOR- ASKED THE WITNESS
IF SHE WANTS TO GET INTO FURTHER
DETAILS ON THAT. I MEAN THAT'S
THAT'S CORRECT THERE'S JUST SOME
AMBIGUITY IN THE PACKAGE OF
LEGISLATION THAT CREATED THIS
STRATEGIC RELIABILITY RESERVE
SAID THIS IS JUST TO PROVIDE
CLARITY SO THERE ISN'T ANY
AMBIGUITY. OKAY GOOD I KNOW IT'S
NOT YOUR PRIMARY THE PRIMARY
AUTHOR OF THAT'S RIGHT SUMS IT
THERE'S CERTAINLY NO HARM IN
RESTATING THAT. THANK YOU.
CENTER GROVE. AND THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I JUST HAVE TWO
QUESTIONS AND- IT CORRECT ME
PLEASE IF I'M WRONG THE- THE
DIESEL GENERATORS PROCURED AT
THE BEGINNING OF THIS PROGRAM
CAN'T BE USED AFTER. A JULY
THIRTY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY THREE
SO AND AT THE END OF THIS MONTH
THOSE DIESEL GENERATORS THAT
THIS BILL COVERS WILL NO LONGER
BE A BIG CAN'T- BE IN IN
PRODUCTION- IN- OPERATION. AND
THEN- AS OF JANUARY TWENTY
TWENTY THREE- I'M SORRY GO BACK
SO- AGAIN THE DIESEL GENERATORS
AT THIS IN THE BEGINNING OF THIS
BILL ARE NOT OPERATIONAL.
ACCORDING TO CURRENT LAW AS OF
JULY THIRTY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
THREE SO THEY'LL BE NO EMISSIONS
GOING FORWARD ON THOSE
GENERATORS THAT ARE IDENTIFIED
IN THIS BILL. AND THEN THE FOR
NATURAL GAS FACILITIES UNDER
CONTRACTOR TO THE END OF TWENTY
TWENTY THREE BY D. W. OURS
ALREADY IN NEGOTIATIONS TO
DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF
EXTENDING THOSE OPERATIONAL
FACILITIES. BECAUSE YOU KNOW
DIABLO AND ALL THOSE THINGS-
ARE. A NECESSITY TO ALL OF OUR
CONSTITUENTS WHO WANT TO FLIP A
SWITCH HAVE LIGHTS COME ON. AND
SO FAR THE CAP AND TRADE. OR IS
THIS YOUR TEAM- EMISSIONS- THAT
HAVE BEEN- MEASURED SO FAR AS OF
JANUARY IS TWO THOUSAND FOUR
NINETY ONE POINT ONE TONS. SO
THAT'S WELL BELOW THE THRESHOLD
OF MANDATORY REPORTING SO IS
THERE SOMETHING THAT I'M MISSING
THE BILL COVERS THAT EITHER. IS
IT GOING TO EXIST AT THE END OF
THIS MONTH ON THE THIRTY FIRST A
FEW DAYS OR- AND- IS ALREADY IN
NEGOTIATIONS WITH T. W. ARE SO
AM I MISSING SOMETHING ELSE I
CENTERS GOOD QUESTION I DON'T
HAVE THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION
I'M SORRY I KNOW OVER A MINUTE
LOOK TO THE WITNESS AND- SEE IF
SHE MIGHT HAVE- MUCH MORE CLEAR.
I CAN TAKE A STAB AT THE SIERRA
THANK YOU AND I APOLOGIZE I KNOW
YOU'RE NOT THE AUTHOR IN YOU'RE
JUST CARRYING THE BILL. MR
RENDON ASKED ME TO PRESENT A
BILL I WOULD IMAGINE. I'M JUST
KIDDING. I HOPE. I HOPE NOT. GO
AHEAD MA'AM I APOLOGIZE THAT IT
CREATES A GOOD QUESTION SENATORS
SO TO ANY RESOURCES THAT ARE
BELOW THAT MANDATORY REPORTING
THRESHOLD LIKE. I MEAN THAT IS.
THAT IS STILL THE CASE SO THAT
THAT IS NOT CHANGING ANYTHING-
AND THIS IS NOT REQUIRING ANY
SPECIFIC SOURCE OF POWER OR TYPE
OF POWER OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S SIMPLY SAYING THAT THESE
RESOURCES HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE
SAME REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE
OBLIGATION RULES SO. FOR THE ONE
YOU CITED THAT WAS BELOW THE
THRESHOLD THIS. WOULDN'T TO MY
UNDERSTANDING CHANGE ANYTHING-
AND IT ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE.
ANY OF. IT DOESN'T DICTATE WHERE
THE POWER COMES FROM. ONLY THAT
BASED ON THE EMISSIONS OF THAT
POWER. YOU HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE
SAME RULES THAT OTHER POWER
RESOURCES IN THE STATE HAVE TO
ABIDE BY. SO THERE'S ONLY. THOSE
TWO POWER SOURCES RIGHT THERE'S
ONLY THAT DAG GAS GENERATORS OR
DIESEL GENERATORS THAT ARE
ABOLISHED AT THE END OF THIS
MONTH. ACCORDING TO LEGISLATION.
AND THEN THE- THE- FOR NATURAL
GAS FACILITIES THERE'S ONLY
THOSE TWO THAT ARE AFFECTED IS
THAT TRUE OR NOT TRUE. I THINK
SO FAR THAT IS THAT IS CORRECT
AS FAR AS I UNDERSTAND IT THOUGH
THIS ALSO OPENS I MEAN WITH THIS
STRATEGIC RELIABILITY RESERVE I
MEAN WE COULD POTENTIALLY NEED
ADDITIONAL RESERVES IN THE
FUTURE FROM OTHER SOURCES. OKAY
BUT I'M JUST GONNA IT JUST. JUST
MAKE IT CLEAR ONE MORE TIME
BECAUSE I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHY THE BILL IS
NECESSARY IF IT COVERS
GENERATORS THAT ARE OBSOLETE- BY
THE THIRTY FIRST OF THIS MONTH.
AGAIN TWENTY DAYS. ACCORDING TO
CURRENT STATE LAW AND- IN THE
OTHER OF THE OTHER- ENTITIES
THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THIS PIECE
OF LEGISLATION. ARE THERE FOR
FACILITIES UNDER CONTRACT UNTIL
TWENTY TWENTY THREE B. D. W. R.
LIKE. IS ALREADY NEGOTIATING
THOSE CONTRACTS THAT'S THE ONLY
TWO FOR- I DON'T KNOW PROVIDERS
OF ENERGY. THAT WE HAVE RIGHT
THAT IS COVERED UNDER THIS BILL
AND THEY'RE BOTH OBSOLETE AND
WELL ONCE OBSOLETE AND ONE IS
UNDER. NEGOTIATION IS THAT
CORRECT OR NOT CORRECT. SO I'D
I'D WITHOUT HAVING THIS WHOLE
LIST IN FRONT OF ME- I MEAN
THERE ARE ALSO HELP. YEAH THIS
MIGHT WITH MIGHT BE MORE HELPFUL
. AND I'M AND I'M ALSO I'M
SEEING HERE ON PAGE THREE THE
ADDITIONAL- PROCUREMENT- EFFORTS
THAT ARE UNDERWAY BY DEPARTMENT
OF WATER RESOURCES. THAT I THINK
WERE NOT ACCOUNTED FOR IN.
DISCUSSION LAST YEAR WITH THE
RESERVE- THE CONSULTANT WITH HER
SISTERS IS JUST SAID THERE'S
ALSO IMPORTS THAT ARE COMING IN.
AS WELL SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE ACCOUNTED FOR IN
THE CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM. OKAY
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
FOR CLARIFYING THAT IT WAS JUST
AND I JUST COULDN'T SEE WHAT THE
BILL WAS COVERING SO THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SENATOR STIR. UP
THANK YOU MR THANKS FOR.
BRINGING THIS FORWARD ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ON. MR RENDON'S BEHALF AT
. I'M TRYING TO GET A LITTLE
MORE CLARITY ON. YEAH WHAT WHAT
EXACTLY IS BILL WOULD DO- THE
NOW ASSIST. ALLUDES TO- I THINK
THE WORDING IS. IN DISCUSSIONS
THE T. W. R. AS QUOTE UNQUOTE IN
DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THREE ONCE
THROUGH COOLING NATURAL GAS
PLANTS. IF THE STATE WATER BOARD
CONTROLS EXTENDS THE COMPLIANCE
MIGHT MY SENSE IS THAT THERE
IT'S BEYOND WELL BEYOND
DISCUSSIONS AT THIS POINT. THEY
PRESENTED A BUSINESS MEETING A
ONE POINT TWO BILLION DOLLAR
CAPACITY PAYMENT. THAT THAT'S
GOING TO BE VOTED ON- AT THE
WATER BOARD IN EARLY AUGUST AND
THAT THAT THEN THE COMMISSION
WILL THEN VOTE ON IT AFTER THAT.
SO DO W. I MEAN THIS IS MORE
THAN A DISCUSSION THIS IS OF
THIS OVER BILLION DOLLARS. THAT
WERE ABOUT TO. SET ASIDE FOR
THIS PROGRAM AND MY BIG CONCERN
I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT. YOUR
DECIDED TO TRY TO GET SOME CLEAN
UP AND SOME CLARIFICATION AROUND
THE W. OURS PROCESS BECAUSE I
THINK WE'RE A LITTLE CONFOUNDED
TO WEAR. WE'RE SAYING. YOU KNOW
WE CAREFULLY NEGOTIATE THIS
LANGUAGE- IN AB TWO OH FIVE LAST
YEAR DURING THE TRAILER PROCESS
DURING THE OBLONG ALL THOSE
FIGHTS AND IT WAS IT WAS A
TOUGH. PROCESS THE PROMISE THAT
WAS MADE TO US FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION AND FROM D. W.
ARE IN THOSE DISCUSSIONS IS TO.
COMPLY WITH- WHAT IS NOW SECTION
FOR IN THE STATUTE. THAT IN
FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS OF
THE DIVISION THEY'RE GONNA
PRIORITIZE INVESTMENTS IN
FEASIBLE COST EFFECTIVE ZERO
EMISSIONS RESOURCES. COMMA AND
THEN FEASIBLE COST EFFECTIVE
CONVENTIONAL RESOURCES SO IN
OTHER WORDS NOT A JUST A
DEFAULT. TO EXTENDING THE LIFE
OF GAS PLANTS IN. HARD BITTEN
COMMUNITIES. AND YET THE ONE
POINT TWO BILLION. DID NO
DILIGENCE WHATSOEVER IN ANY
ALTERNATIVE RESOURCE OTHER THAN
EXTENDING THOSE GAS POINTS. AND
I WANT TO TRY TO GET SOME
CLARITY BECAUSE CENTER BECKER
LOOKED AT THIS DURING HIS BUDGET
SUB PROCESS BUT- D. W. R. TOLD
US. THAT THEY'RE NOT EVEN
ALLOWED TO LOOK AT ENERGY
STORAGE BECAUSE OF HOW THEY
INTERPRET. THE LAW. THAT SOMEHOW
BY BEING AGREED CONNECTED
RESOURCE IT BECOMES A FOSSIL
FUEL RESOURCE- SO I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE THIS BILL DOESN'T. TO
FURTHER EXACERBATE THAT PROBLEM
WHERE. THROUGH SOME. STRANGE
READING OF THE STATUTE WE SENT
THEM THAT THEY'RE NOT LOOKING AT
ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT FOR FIRING
UP GAS PLANTS WITH THIS. RESERVE
PAYMENT IN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. SO I'M HOPING.
MAYBE SOMEBODY COULD BRING BACK
TO THE AUTHOR JUST AS A
CONSIDERATION IS- IS THIS. MAYBE
MAYBE THIS CROSS REFERENCE WILL
DO THAT BUT IS SOME ADDITIONAL
CLARITY NEEDED IN OTHER WORDS
THAT- THINGS LIKE ENERGY STORAGE
I THINK YOU MENTIONED- THE
DISTRIBUTED. DISTRIBUTED POWER
RESEARCH A BACKUP PROGRAM THE
DEMAND RESPONSE PROGRAM. SOME
OTHER DILIGENCE THAT'S NEEDED
BEFORE YOU JUST DEFAULT THE
SETTING ASIDE OF BILLION TO FOR
GAS- BECAUSE I'M WORRIED THAT
THOSE PLANS ARE GONNA BE THERE
WHEN WE NEED THEM WE'VE HAD.
ISSUES AT THOSE PLANTS OVER THE
YEARS THAT'S ACTUALLY ONE OF THE
REASONS THEY'RE BEING PROPOSED
TO BE SHATTERED- AND SO THIS IS
REALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST
RELIABLE RESOURCES IS DUE TO BE
ARE REALLY DOING THAT HOMEWORK.
SO MAYBE SOME IN THE AUTHOR OR
YOU WERE COMMITTEE WOULD BE
WILLING TO LOOK AT GOING FORWARD
IS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT. D. W.
R. IS COMPLYING WITH. THAT
SECTION FOUR IN THE STATUTE AND
LOOKING AT OTHER ZERO EMISSION
RESOURCES AND THAT ENERGY
STORAGE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ONE
OF THOSE EVEN IF IT IS GREAT
CONNECTED- RESIDE I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU WILL IN TAKE THAT BACK TO
THE AUTHOR BUT YEAH WILL. THAT
WILL TAKE IT BACK TO THE AUTHOR
AS WELL AS- OUR WITNESS HERE WHO
IS WORKING CLOSELY WITH THEM SO
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU BE
SUPPORTING THE- THANK YOU ANY
FURTHER QUESTIONS. OR CONCERNS
HERE. IS THERE A MOTION BY.

NO ONE ELSE IN THE QUEUE AT THE

BRING BACK THE COMMITTEE ANY
QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS SENATOR
GROWTH. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND- SO I KNOW IN THE AUTHOR
STATEMENT IT SAYS THAT AND- THAT
CALIFORNIA'S LICKING VALLEY
LOCATED IN THE IMPERIAL VALLEY
CONTAINS ON THE LARGEST MOST
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE
SUSTAINABLE LITHIUM RESERVES IN
THE WORLD. I DO AGREE WITH THAT
STATEMENT THERE IS A LARGE
RESERVE ALSO IN MY DISTRICT IN
THE BORON COMMUNITY- THERE'S A
LITHIUM TAX THAT- I KNOW YOUR
BILL DOESN'T ADDRESS BET- IF WE
DEVELOP LITHIUM BORON IN THIS
SMALL LITTLE TOWN OUTSIDE OF IN
THE DESERT COMMUNITY. THE TAXES
COLLECTED WE HAVE TO GIVE TO
THAT SALTON SEA INSTEAD OF
REBUILDING AND SUPPORTING THE
TOWN WHICH THE EXTRACTION CAME
FOR HIM. IS THERE AND IS THERE
ANYTHING IN YOUR BILL I
APOLOGIZE NOT READ ALL OF IT I
APOLOGIZE IS THERE ANYTHING IN
YOUR BILL THAT ADDRESSES THAT IN
THE REASON WHY I ASK BECAUSE I
KNOW SENATOR PADILLA HAS A BILL
THAT TO ADDRESSING THAT. AND I
JUST IN IN ALL FAIRNESS AND
EQUITY IF THIS SMALL TOWN IS
GOING TO BE AFFECTED BY LITHIUM
EXTRACTION THEY SHOULD BILL TO
KEEP THOSE RESOURCES INSTEAD OF
SENDING THEM DOWN TO YOUR
COMMUNITY WHERE THEY CAN REBUILD
THEIR OWN TOWN BECAUSE OF THE
EXTRACTION IMPACTS ON THAT
COMMUNITY. SO IS THERE ANYTHING
IN YOUR BILL THAT AFFECTS THAT-
NO AND DODD THIS BILL FOCUSES
SPECIFICALLY ON CREATING. A
OFFICE OF LITHIUM. FACILITATION
ARE NOT JUST SPECIFICALLY FOR
LITHIUM VALLEY IN THE CASE THAT
YOU'VE JUST HIGHLIGHTED. BUT FOR
THE ENTIRE STATE. THAT COULD
HELP FACILITATE THE
CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL OF THE
MULTIPLE AGENCIES THAT WOULD BE.
NECESSARY TO BE INVOLVED FOR
PERMITTING PURPOSES- BUT I WOULD
LIKE TO STATE FOR THE RECORD THE
CONVERSATION THAT YOU AND I HAVE
HAD. AS IT RELATES TO THAT
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF THE
TAX THAT WAS APPROVED. THAT WE
WERE UP MORE THAN- AMENABLE TO
ANY. A CLEANUP LANGUAGE
SPECIFICALLY TO THAT. TAX
STRUCTURE THAT WAS SET. FOR
PURPOSES OF MAKING SURE THAT
THAT YOUR COMMUNITY- ANY OTHER
COMMUNITY THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
I WOULD HAVE. WHATEVER TAX
COLLECTED- ALLOCATED BACK TO
THAT REGION- SO THE ANSWER IS NO
NOTHING IN THIS BILL ADDRESSES
THAT- I THINK THE CONVERSATIONS
THAT WE LEFT OFF- WITH YOURSELF
FOR THAT. THAT COULD BE
SOMETHING THAT'S DONE IN THE
BUDGET TRAILER BILL CLEAN UP THE
THINK THE ADMINISTRATION WAS
VERY AMENABLE TO THAT AS WELL
AND YOU HAD MENTIONED THAT THE
SENATOR FROM THE AREA ALSO WAS
OPEN TO. THAT CONVERSATION AS
WELL AND WE DO NOT SUPPORT THAT
NO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
CLARIFYING OUT I APPRECIATE VERY
MUCH I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF IT
WAS INCLUDED IN THIS BILL I
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS. THANK
YOU CENTER DORADO YEAH I'M WILL
BE SUPPORTING OF COURSE- AND I'M
REALLY GLAD TO SEE. THAT WHEN
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE ECONOMY IN
THAT AREA THAT YOU'RE INCLUDING
MANUFACTURING IN ADDITION TO
CONSTRUCTION THE RECLAMATION OF
THE LITHIUM. ALL THOSE JOBS
BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE HAVE
INCLINATION TO JUST- BE BUILT AT
CONSTRUCTION THAT'S THE END OF
IT WHO CARES WHAT HAPPENS TO THE
PEOPLE DOING THE REST OF THE
WORK AND SO. REALLY GLAD TO SEE
THAT INCLUDED HERE AND HOPE THAT
THE STANDARDS. ARE THOSE THAT
THOSE PEOPLE THE WORKERS
DESERVE. THANK YOU FOR THOSE
COMMENTS THAT THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT KIND OF
DEVELOPING AN ENTIRE. ECOSYSTEM
IN ONSITE IT FROM THE RECOVERY
PROCESS TO THE MANUFACTURING. TO
PERHAPS EVEN ATTRACTING THOSE
END USERS OF THESE PRODUCTS
WHETHER IT BE LARGE BATTERY
STORAGE OR FOR ANY PRODUCTS
INCLUDING CAR BATTERIES- THAT
WE'RE LOOKING FOR. YES SENATOR
THANK YOU AND YOU DID SAY THAT
IT'S GOING TO BE FOR STATE RIGHT
ALL PROJECTS NOT JUST THE SALTON
SEA PROJECT THE LITHIUM. VALLEY
OFFICE- IS FOCUSED ON THE U.
GRAPHIC AREA OF IMPERIAL COUNTY
BUT- GIVEN THE- FOOTPRINT OF
LITHIUM. MINING A RECOVERY-
THROUGHOUT THE STATE IT MAKES
SENSE. THAT THIS OFFICE ALSO
KIND OF HELP FACILITATE THOSE-
EFFORTS AS WELL. I THINK THE WAY
THE WAY THE BILL IS SET UP. IT
IS FOCUSED SPECIFICALLY TO THE
LITHIUM VALLEY REGION OF THE
STATE I SAW THAT TO AND THAT
KIND OF GAVE ME CONCERNED
BECAUSE LIKE I SAID WE DO HAVE
THE ABILITY TO. MINE LITHIUM AS
WELL IN A BORAX OR BORON. BORON
PLANT IN THE DESERT AREA WHICH
IS A ACCOMPANIED COUNTY
UNIONTOWN AND SO IT'S JUST AND
IT'S A VERY STRONG- COMMUNITY
CONTENT CONTRIBUTOR I GUESS- YOU
WOULD SAY TO- TO THE STATE AS
FAR AS LITHIUM. BUT YOUR BILL
DOES- DOES FOCUS STRICTLY ON AND
THAT THE LATEST CORRECT BUT I
DON'T SEE WHY WE COULDN'T KIND
OF BROUGHT IN THAT EFFORT. OKAY
APPRECIATE THAT THANK YOU SIR.
SURVISCOR TWENTY THANK YOU FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS AND I
WAS NOTICING THAT THAT ENOUGH TO
SAID. WE GIVE US POTENTIALLY
SUPPLY UP TO ONE THIRD OF THE
WORLD'S LITHIUM EVEN GOT CLOSE
TO THAT JUST TO. BE A MASSIVE
INDUSTRY FOR THE STATE'S
APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP AND
BEFORE SUPPORTING THE BILL THANK
YOU FOR. THANK YOU. AT I. TWO
ONE I JUST THINK THAT SOME WOMEN
FOR YOUR STRONG CONSISTENT
LEADERSHIP HEARING. OUR STRONG
COMMITMENT ON IN STATE- LITHIUM
FOR OUR PRODUCTION HERE IN
CALIFORNIA- AND AS STATED WE
HAVE A WEALTH OF RESOURCES HERE
THAT. WOULD HELP ALLEVIATE THE
CRISIS THAT IS BEING CREATED
OVER AND AFRICA WERE THEY'RE
EXPLOITING YOUNG KIDS SO I
APPRECIATE. YOUR LEADERSHIP ON
THIS ENOUGH TO APPROPRIATE TIME
I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED AS A CO
AUTHOR. THAT THANK YOU WELL- WE
DO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO.
PRODUCE THE CLEANEST THE
GREENEST. LITHIUM ECONOMY IN THE
WORLD- HERE IN CALIFORNIA AND
WE'RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE IT IN.
IMPERIAL COUNTY. OUT WHERE-
HISTORICALLY IT'S BEEN A
COMMUNITY THAT HAS LED THE
CHARTS WHEN IT COMES TO
UNEMPLOYMENT TWENTY EIGHT TWENTY
NINE PERCENT. ON ITS HIGHEST AND
AT ITS LOWEST AND BEST 16% SO
THAT GIVES YOU A SENSE OF. HOW
SIGNIFICANT THIS OPPORTUNITY IS
FOR THAT REGION BUT- FOR THE
STATE AS A WHOLE AND WITH THAT
I'D LIKE TO CLOSE JUST SAT
RESPECT ANSWERABLE. THANK YOU WE
HAVE A DUE PASSI COMMITTEE ON
CORPORATIONS TO HAVE A MOTION.

ITEMS NEXT UP IS FILE ITEM EIGHT
AB ELEVEN NINETY EIGHT BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER GRAYSON. GOOD
AFTERNOON ARE QUICKLY
APPROACHING EVENING MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS AB ELEVEN NINETY
EIGHT REQUIRES THE ENERGY UNIT
WITHIN GOBIZ TO BETTER ENSURE
MINORITY SMALL BUSINESSES AND
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESSES IN
AREAS OF THE STATE WITH HIGH
POVERTY AND LOW INVESTMENT
PARTICIPATE IN HELPING THE STATE
ACHIEVE ITS CLIMATE GOALS.
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN AND
CONTINUES TO BE A GLOBAL LEADER
ON CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY WITH
GOALS OF ACHIEVING CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE
HOWEVER THE STATE'S AMBITION
AMBITIOUS PLAN TO ACHIEVE A 100%
CLEAN ENERGY AND NET ZERO
EMISSIONS IS UNLIKELY TO BE MET
WITHOUT MEASURES. THAT'S
INCENTIVIZE SMALL BUSINESSES TO
MAKE CLEAN ENERGY INVESTMENTS
SMALL BUSINESSES PLAY A CRITICAL
ROLE IN FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE
CALIFORNIA IS SMALL BUSINESSES
ACCOUNT FOR NINETY NINE POINT 8%
OF BUSINESSES IN THE STATE AND
OTHER STATES FOUR POINT ONE
MILLION SMALL BUSINESSES ONE
POINT TWO MILLION ARE MINORITY
OWNED. WHILE AN INDIVIDUAL SMALL
BUSINESS MAY HAVE A RELATIVELY
SMALL CARBON FOOTPRINT THE
COLLECTIVE IMPACT OF THOSE
EMISSIONS CAN BE HUGE DESPITE
THE SIGNIFICANT ROLE THAT
MINORITY SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE
IN THE CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION
THERE REMAINS A HUGE GAP IN
MINORITY SMALL BUSINESS
ENTERPRISE. PARTICIPATION IN THE
MARKET TRANSITION TO A LOW
CARBON FUTURE SMALL BUSINESSES
MAY LACK THE SAME RESOURCES AND
SUPPORT THAT LARGER CORPORATIONS
HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO REDUCING
EMISSIONS AND IMPLEMENTING NEW
TECHNOLOGIES AND OPERATIONS. IT
IS ESSENTIAL THAT MINORITY
ENTERPRISES ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE
AND DELIVERING SOLUTIONS THAT
HELP CALIFORNIA ACHIEVE ITS
AGGRESSIVE CLIMATE GOALS AS SUCH
THE STATE NEEDS TO SUPPORT
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESSES BY
PROVIDING AFFECTED PATHWAYS AND
RESOURCES TO CREATE COMMUNITY
WEALTH BUILDING OPPORTUNITIES.
AB ELEVEN NINETY EIGHT WILL
IDENTIFY EXISTING GAPS IN
PARTICIPATION AND PUT FORWARD
SOLUTIONS TO HELP SMALL SUPPORT
SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE MARKET
TRANSITION SPECIFICALLY AB
ELEVEN NINETY EIGHT REQUIRES THE
ENERGY YOU KNOW WITHIN GO BIZ TO
IDENTIFY RESOURCES TO ASSIST
BUSINESSES AND THE TRANSITION.
TO A NET ZERO ECONOMY AND TO
ALSO IDENTIFY CURRENT
PARTICIPATION LEVELS OF
DISADVANTAGED BUSINESSES
FURTHERMORE THE ENERGY UNIT IS
TASKED WITH HOLDING PUBLIC
WORKSHOPS AND ENGAGE WITH
STAKEHOLDERS TO DEVELOP
RECOMMENDATIONS ON ADDRESSING
BARRIERS TO ACCESSING- ENERGY
INDUSTRY RESOURCES. AND IT'S MY
HOPE THAT AB ELEVEN NINETY EIGHT
WILL HELP CALIFORNIA ACHIEVE ITS
CLIMATE GOALS WILL SUPPORTING
AND UP LIFTING HOURS ESSENTIAL
SMALL BUSINESSES AND WITH THAT
AND THROUGH THE CHAIR I HAVE TWO
WITNESSES THAT WILL SELF
INTRODUCE. YEP TWO MINUTE THANK
YOU GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR
BRADFORD AND SENATORS MY NAME IS
ANDREA CAL AND I'M THE DIRECTOR
OF PUBLIC POLICY OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASIAN PACIFIC CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE WHICH REPRESENTS THE
INTERESTS OF THE OVER SEVEN
HUNDRED FORTY SIX THOUSAND ASIAN
AMERICAN. AND PACIFIC ISLANDER
OWNED BUSINESSES ACROSS
CALIFORNIA SENATORS AS YOU KNOW
CALIFORNIA HAS SET AN AMBITIOUS
BUT NECESSARY GOAL OF ACHIEVING
CARBON NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. MEETING THIS
OBJECTIVE WILL REQUIRE A
SUSTAINED AND INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC
TRANSITION TO ALTERNATIVE AND
CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTION HOWEVER
UNTIL NOW PROGRAMS AND SERVICES
TO SUPPORT THIS TRANSITION HAVE
HAD A LIMITED IMPACT ON THE
EIGHTY EIGHT PERCENT. OF
CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESSES WITH
LESS THAN TWENTY EMPLOYEES MANY
OF WHICH INCLUDE COMPANIES OWNED
BY WOMEN PEOPLE OF COLOR
DISABLED INDIVIDUALS VETERANS
AND INDIVIDUALS FROM
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. THE
COLLAGEN CHAMBER ALONG WITH THE
OTHER AB ELEVEN NINETY EIGHT CO
SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS WANT TO
EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF
IMPLEMENTING NEW AND MORE
INTENTIONAL STRATEGIES
PERSISTING THESE HISTORICALLY.
DISSIPATE IN AN EQUITABLE
TRANSITION. A GOOD STARTING
POINT TO ADDRESSING MARKET
TRANSITION DEFICIENCIES AS
BETTER LEVERAGING EXISTING
ENERGY PROGRAMS BY REMOVING
BARRIERS TO SERVING TIME FOR
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND
WORKERS IN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. AB ELEVEN NINETY
EIGHT ADVANCES A THREE PRONGED
APPROACH INCLUDING ONE A
DISPARITY ANALYSIS BETWEEN THE
ELIGIBLE SMALL BUSINESS AND
WORKER POPULATIONS AND THE
ACTUAL PROGRAM USAGE TO A SURVEY
OF NON REPAIR ENERGY INDUSTRY
PROGRAMS TO IDENTIFY THOSE WITH
REQUIREMENTS OR AWARD CRITERIA.
THAT MITIGATE EQUITY DISPARITIES
AND THREE THE CREATION OF A
TECHNICAL ADVISORY WORKGROUP
THAT INCLUDE SMALL BUSINESS
ADVOCATES SUCH AS CHAMBERS TO
HELP COPE IS BETTER UNDERSTAND
AND ADDRESS WHY CERTAIN BUSINESS
OWNER GROUPS ARE NOT ACCESSING
AVAILABLE ENERGY PROGRAMS. I
WANT TO THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GRAYSON FOR AUTHORING AB ELEVEN
NINETY EIGHT ALONG WITH SENATORS
OVER AUTO AND CAB AERO. FOR CO
AUTHORING THIS CRITICAL PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THANK YOU FOR YOUR
