ARM CHAIR DODD MEMBERS I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL
FIVE NINETY THE COMMITTEE TODAY.
AB FIVE NINETY WOULD IMPROVE AND
EXPAND THE PRACTICE OF PROVIDING
NONPROFITS WITH ADVANCE PAYMENTS
WHEN THEY RECEIVE STATE SOME
CONTRACTS SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL
WOULD ENSURE ALL NONPROFITS HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE UP
225% IN ADVANCE. AND PRIORITIES
AS PAYMENTS FOR NONPROFIT
SERVING DISADVANTAGED LOW INCOME
AND UNDER RESOURCE COMMUNITIES
CURRENTLY NONPROFITS RELY ON A
REIMBURSEMENT MODEL AND ARE
OFTEN PLACED IN THE CHALLENGING
POSITION OF HAVING TO CONSIDER
PURSUING LOANS TO COVER COSTS.
ASSOCIATED WITH STARTUP STATE
GRANTS AND CONTRACTS FOR EXAMPLE
ONE NONPROFIT PAID OVER TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
INTEREST LAST YEAR WHILE WAITING
FOR PAYMENTS FROM THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. EXISTING LAW
INCLUDES APPROXIMATELY TWENTY
SIX PERMANENT ADVANCE PAYMENT
PROGRAMS AUTHORIZED SINCE THE
NINETEEN NINETIES THIS PATCHWORK
APPROACH CREATES INEQUITY
PARTICULARLY AROUND NONPROFITS
WITH LIMITED CASH FLOWS SERVING
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. AB FIVE
NINETY IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE
ALL NONPROFITS HAVE ACCESS TO
ADVANCE PAYMENTS SO THEY CAN
CONTINUE TO PERFORM CRITICAL
WORK IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE
STREET ST. SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL WITH ME TODAY IS DOCTOR

COMMUNITY BEHAVIOR HEALTH
AGENCIES AND PROUD CO SPONSOR
OF. AB FIVE NINETY WE'RE A
STATEWIDE ADVOCACY ORGANIZATION
REPRESENTING NONPROFIT
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS
ACROSS THE STATE WHO
COLLECTIVELY SERVE OVER ONE
MILLION CALIFORNIANS. ARE
MEMBERS DO IT ALL THEY RUN NINE
EIGHT EIGHT CRISIS CALL CENTERS
OUTPATIENT AND INPATIENT
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINICS SCHOOL
BASED SERVICES HOMELESS SERVICES
AND HOUSING FOSTER CARE
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER SERVICES
AND MOBILE CRISIS UNITS ACROSS
THE LIFESPAN. SPENDING ALL OF
YOUR DISTRICTS ONE THIRD OF
MEDIC HOW SERVICES ARE PROVIDED
BY THE NON PROFITS LIKE THE ONE
C. B. H. A. REPRESENTS. OUR
MEMBERS SURVIVE A VARIETY OF
FUNDING SOURCES INCLUDING GRANTS
IN THIS TENUOUS FUNDING
ENVIRONMENT IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT
THERE ARE MYRIAD OPPORTUNITIES
TO FUND THE VITAL SERVICES THAT
OUR MEMBERS PROVIDE. NOW DURING
THE PANDEMIC WHICH WE ARE STILL
IN WITH A AGENCIES ON THE BRINK
OF CRISIS. FROM FUNDING BASIC
PPE TO SUPPORTING CRITICAL
PROGRAMS THAT SERVE YOUTH
FAMILIES AND OLDER ADULTS. AND
AS A BEHAVIORAL HEALTH NEEDS OF
THE COMMUNITY GREW EXPONENTIALLY
FUNDING WAS THREATENED THE
LITERAL AND FIGURATIVE DOORS OF
OUR AGENCIES ARE AT RISK OF
CLOSING PARTICULARLY SMALLER
AGENCIES THAT SERVE RURAL
POPULATIONS. OR DIVERSE CLIENT
POPULATION. AND WE UNIQUELY
UNDERSTAND THE ROWS OF SMALL
NONPROFITS WHO SERVE
DISENFRANCHISED COMMUNITIES AS
40% OF OUR ORGANIZATIONS ARE BY
PARK LED IN SERVING ENTITIES.
THIS ISN'T A STORY FROM THE PAST
THIS PANDEMIC CONTINUES TO
DICTATE THE ABILITY FOR OUR
MEMBERS TO PROVIDE VITAL
SERVICES TO YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
ADVANCE PAYMENT IS A PROVEN
SUCCESSFUL METHOD BUT IT'S TIME
FOR THIS POLICY TO BE APPLIED IN
A FASHION THAT WILL ENSURE
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO ADVANCE
PAYMENTS. AB FIVE NINETY IS A
SOLUTION TO ASSIST NONPROFITS AS
THEY DO THE CRITICAL WORK TO
SERVE YOUR MIND YOUR MANY
CONSTITUENTS IN NEED. AND YOUR
VOTE TODAY CAN HELP EXPAND THE
SERVICES AVAILABLE TO CRIME
CLAIMS IN CRISIS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING. GOOD
MORNING. SO A GOOD MORNING CHAIR
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS DR DANTE EARLY AND I AM
PRESIDENT AND CEO OF UNITED WAY
CALIFORNIA CAPITAL REGION. FOR
OVER ONE HUNDRED YEARS WE HAVE
BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER TO BUILD
STRONGER HEALTHIER AND MORE
COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE GREATER
SACRAMENTO REGION. I AM HONORED
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF AB FIVE
NINETY BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER HARD.
AS THIS IS A MUCH NEEDED AND
COMMONSENSE BILL THAT WILL BRING
EQUITY AND ACCESS TO ADVANCE
PAYMENTS FOR NONPROFITS. WHO
SERVE THE MOST UNDER RESOURCE
COMMUNITIES IN OUR STATE. RIGHT
AWAY CALIFORNIA CAPITAL REGION
ALONG WITH MANY NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATIONS KNOW FIRST HAND
THE CHALLENGES THAT COME WITH
RUNNING CRITICAL PROGRAMS WITH
LIMITED RESOURCES. YOU W. C. C.
R. THROUGH THE OUR PROMISE
STATEWIDE GIVING CAMPAIGN
PROVIDES FUNDS TO OVER SEVENTEEN
HUNDRED NONPROFITS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. AB FIVE NINETY WOULD
ESSENTIALLY ALLOW MANY OF OUR
PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS THE CASH
FLOW NEEDED. TO BEGIN A PROGRAM
WHERE A LACK OF START UP FUNDS
IS COST PROHIBITIVE. IN SOME OF
OUR GRANT FUNDED WORK WE AT
TIMES ARE WAITING UP TO THREE
MONTHS FOR REIMBURSEMENT. FOR
SOME OF THE SMALLER NONPROFITS
THAT WE PARTNER WITH THIS
EXPENSE WOULD PUT ACCOUNTS
PAYABLE AND PAYROLL IN JEOPARDY.
SOME ORGANIZATIONS ARE FORCED TO
TAKE OUT LOANS AND ULTIMATELY
HAVE GONE UNDER WHILE DELIVERING
SERVICES UNDER GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTS. IN INSTANCES WHERE
NON PROFITS DO HAVE LARGER
BUDGETS LIKE US YOU W. C. C. R.
WE ARE PUT IN POSITIONS WHERE WE
HAVE TO PULL CAPITAL FROM
INVESTMENTS. OR OTHER POTENTIAL
PROGRAMS TO ENSURE WE HAVE
SUFFICIENT CASH FLOW TO MAKE OUR
BOTTOM LINE. NONPROFITS ARE
DEEPLY SKILLED AT TRYING TO MAKE
A DOLLAR OUT OF FIFTEEN CENTS
BUT IN ORDER TO STRETCH
RESOURCES THERE MUST BE
RESOURCES THERE IN THE FIRST
PLACE. ADVANCE PAYMENTS TO NON
PROFITS AS OUTLINED IN AB FIVE
NINETY SIMPLY PUT A SMART MOVE
TO MAKE SURE. THAT THE COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE
DEEP CONNECTIONS AND TRUST WITH
HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED OR
UNSERVED POPULATIONS ARE SET UP
FROM DAY ONE OF A PROGRAM FOR
SUCCESS. AB FIVE NINETY WITH
STANDARDIZED AND BRING EQUITY TO
EXISTING LAW CREATING NUMEROUS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADVANCE
PAYMENTS FOR NONPROFITS AND
PRIVATE BUSINESSES WITHOUT A
HISTORY OF ABUSE. WE ARE ALWAYS
EAGER TO ADVANCE OUR
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE STATE
THROUGH CONTRACTING AND GRANTS
THAT MEET CALIFORNIANS WHERE
THEY ARE AT WHERE THE RESOURCES
ARE NEEDED. LIKE DIGITAL
INCLUSION BROADBAND FOR ALL
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS HOUSING
NAVIGATION THROUGH CALLING AND
FREE TAX PREP DURING TAX SEASON.
THESE ARE ALL PROGRAMS THAT
UNITED WAY CALIFORNIA CAPITAL
REGION IS ENGAGED IN RIGHT NOW
AND SEEING INCREDIBLE RESULTS
FROM. CHILDREN HAVE MORE
RESOURCES TO GROW UP HEALTHY AND
SUCCESSFUL WHEN THEY HAVE
DIGITAL ACCESS AND WRAPAROUND
SUPPORT THAT CRITICAL
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF LIFE.
FAMILIES WITH ACCESS TO
FINANCIAL COACHING AND TAX
FILING SUPPORT CAN BE INSURED
THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY
NEED TO BUILD A BRIGHTER FUTURE.
THIS IS TRANSFORMATIONAL AND
COMMUNITY CENTERED WORK. BUT IT
NEEDS AND CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED
WITH ITS HIGH POTENTIALS WHEN
PARTNERS ARE TASKED WITH THESE
TRANSFORMATIONS ARE SET UP FOR
SUCCESS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
THE STATE ENACTING ADVANCE
PAYMENTS TO NONPROFITS AS
OUTLINED IN AB FIVE NINETY IS A
CORE COMPONENT. OF BUILDING
COMMUNITY SUCCESS. FOR THESE
REASONS I URGE YOUR I VOTE FOR

CALAN CHAIR MEMBERS RJ CEMENT
THIS HERE BEHALF OF KAELIN
TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL KELAM
IS A FRESNO BASED COMPANY THAT
IS EXPORTING AERIAL FIREFIGHTING
CAPABILITIES TO MULTIPLE
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD WE
STRONGLY SUPPORT AB SIX OH NINE

ADOPTED FEDERAL APPROPRIATIONS
LANGUAGE THAT AUTHORIZES TESTING

TECHNOLOGIES THAT THE U. S.
FOREST SERVICE AND THE NATIONAL
INTER AGENCY AVIATION COMMITTEE.
AS A PART OF THAT REPORT PROCESS
THE FOREST SERVICE WILL BE
LOOKING FOR STATE LEVEL PARTNERS
IN EIGHTY SIX OH NINE ENSURES A
CALIFORNIA IS IN THE BEST
POSSIBLE POSITION TO SECURE

PLEASE. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
PRESS ONE ZERO IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO COMMENT. AND WE HAVE NO ONE
MISTER CHAIR YOU MAY CONTINUE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WILL BRING
IT BACK TO DIS. THE PURPOSE OF.
I HAVE SUGGESTIONS MR. S. MEMBER
AS INTERESTED IN THIS OBVIOUSLY
COMING FROM SAN DIEGO AND
REPRESENTING THE AREA THAT'S
IMPACTED BY. RULE WILD FIRES-
SEVERELY I FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO
ON THIS TECHNOLOGY. AS ABOUT
THREE AND HALF MINUTES LONG
THERE WAS NO AUDIO BUT THEY THEY
SHOWED THE OPERATION AND I JUST
A COUPLE QUESTIONS COMING OUT OF
THAT OF WATCHING A VIDEO BECAUSE
I WANT TO SEE HOW THIS WAS TO-
DEPLOYED. UP HOW DO THEY KNOW
HOW TO THE- PREDICTOR ACCURACY.
ON WHERE THEY'RE GONNA DROP
THESE BOXES. AND ACTUALLY HIT
THE TARGET THAT THEY'RE LOOKING
FOR. AND IF YOUR WITNESS ONCE TO
ANSWER I'M COMFORTABLE IN MY
DEFERRED MY WITNESS IS EXPERTISE
I HAVE OF SOME POLITICIANS THANK
YOU CENTERS SO- THAT'S PART OF
THIS TESTING PROCESS THERE'S A
WHAT THEY CALL COP IN GRID TEST
THAT THEY DO AT A TESTING CENTER
IN MONTANA. SO AS THEY- MOVE
THOSE BOXES OVER IT IT CAPTURES
HOW MUCH WATER IS ACTUALLY
GETTING COLLECTED IN THESE COPS.
IT'S BEEN TESTED BY THE ISRAELI
DEFENSE FORCES IN ISRAEL JUST AS
RECENTLY AS LAST YEAR AND THE E.
U. CIVIL DEFENSE MECHANISM
SIMILAR TYPE TESTING AND IT
ENSURES ACCURACY AND YOU KNOW
MAKE GETTING. GETTING THAT THE
TARGET WET AT THE END OF THE DAY
RIGHT. AND SO THEN I GUESS TO
FOLLOW QUESTIONS THAT MIGHT BE
RELATED IS. AND HOW HOW CAN YOU-
ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PERSONALLY
GROUND. AND THEN I THINK UP
PROBABLY IN LINE WITH THAT THE
MATERIALS THAT ARE LEFT BEHIND
YEAH- WHICH SEEM TO BE
SIGNIFICANT- MAN MAYBE YOU CAN
EXPLAIN WHAT THOSE ARE WHAT
THOSE BOXES ARE MADE OUT OF IN
HOUSE THAT RECAPTURES. THE
SAFETY IN RECAPTURING THE
MATERIALS AND WHAT ARE THEY MADE
OF GREAT GREAT QUESTION SO- THIS
TYPE OF CAPABILITIES NOT MEANT
FOR EVERY SINGLE- MISSION SO TO
SPEAK IT'S NOT MEANT TO DO URBAN
MISSIONS FOR EXAMPLE. SO IN
PLACES WHERE YOU HAVE COMPLETE
RURAL OR FOREST FIRE COVERAGE
WHERE THERE'S- LITERALLY NOTHING
UNDERNEATH OTHER THAN LAND. THIS
POTENTIALLY COULD MAKE SENSE AND
THAT'S WHY THE FOR SERVICES
INTERESTED IN TESTING THIS
FURTHER. AND INTO YOUR QUESTION
ABOUT- THE DE SO TO SPEAK SO AND
IN KELAM SKATES THERE ARE A-
COMPANIES- THAT OTHER PRODUCTS.
IN CALEB'S CASE IT'S A
BIODEGRADABLE PRODUCT IT'S
ACTUALLY A CORRUGATED BOX AND
WE'RE GETTING MORE AND MORE IT'S
ABOUT 98% BIODEGRADABLE RIGHT
NOW- BUT WE'RE TRYING TO GET. TO
THAT 100% MECHANISM AND DO YOU
HAVE A- IN THIS LIKE I SAID THIS
IS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF.
MATERIALS DO YOU HAVE A TIMELINE
ON HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO
BIODEGRADE- THAT I'D HAVE TO GET
BACK TO YOU I'M NOT EXACTLY
SURE. I WOULD IMAGINE IT'S A
FAIR TRADE OFF ON THE DEBRIS
THAT'S LEFT BEHIND IN THE FORCE
THAT YOU'RE SAVING BY PUTTING
OUT THE FIRE THE FIRE IS
OBVIOUSLY INDUSTRY. MORE FORCE
THAN THE DEBRIS IS GOING TO
IMPACT NEGATIVELY- YOU KNOW I
WOULD BE INTERESTED IN. YOU KNOW
IF YOU'VE GOT SOME FOLLOW UP
INFORMATION YOU CAN SEND US- YOU
KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS IS GOING
TO WORK I'M- GLAD TO HEAR THAT
IT'S NOT GONNA BE IN AREAS
WHERE. THERE'S PERSONNEL BECAUSE
NOW THAT'S IT I MEAN THAT THESE
COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THEY WERE
USED IN THAT SITUATION SO
ABSOLUTELY I WOULD IMAGINE THE
CURRENT FIRE IN. CANADA WOULD BE
A GOOD- EXAMPLE WHERE THIS COULD
BE USED TO. IMPACT THAT SO IN
OUR CASE CENTER WE ACTUALLY ARE
IN. COMMUNICATION WITH THE
CANADIAN FIRE OFFICIALS RIGHT
NOW IT JUST JUST LOOKING TO MAKE
IT CLEAR WE- AMENDED OUT THE
SPECIFICITY OF THIS SPECIFIC
COMPANY. AT TECHNOLOGY THAT'S
NOT THAT. THE JOB IN THE BILL
THE BILL THAT I. HAD LAST YEAR
S. B. WATER AND I WAS NOT
INTENDED FOR US TO BET. RIGHT
SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGIES THAT'S FOR
THIS NEW DEPARTMENT OF
TECHNOLOGY. BUT SINCE I-
EMITTED. ASKED YOU TO BED THAT
OUT I. GAVE YOU- TIME TO. THE
LEAST EXPLAIN THE- PRODUCT THE
G. YOU WERE SEEKING TO- THE-
HAVE IN THE BILL. BUT I
APPRECIATE THE WITNESS M. A. R.
THAT CLEARNESS TEST ON NO DOUBT
IN LOOK AT WE DO HAVE TO GET
BETTER. AT THE TECHNOLOGIES
BECAUSE TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
FROM TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN ON
BY THIS WHAT REALLY PRECIPITATED
THIS BUILT UP TO START THE
OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY. IS BECAUSE
WE'RE GETTING CALLS HAY WIRE TO
USE IN THIS WORDS USING THIS.
YEAH WE HAD. WE DON'T KNOW WHY
BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOOD AND
THIS IS WHY WE HAVE TO HAVE A
DEPARTMENT. NOT WAIT FOR THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. GOT PROBLEMS
RIGHT HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THERE ARE CUTE WE
NEED TO BE TESTING ALL THESE
THINGS AND TESTING- DOUBTS SO-
IN IN I THINK FOR MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMITTEE IS THIS DOES. NOT
HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE EVERY
TECHNOLOGY SHOULD GET THEIR
OPPORTUNITY AND THEIR DAY
BEFORE- THIS DEPARTMENT
TECHNOLOGY SO I REALLY BELIEVE
THANK YOU FOR COMING THANK YOU
I'LL MAKE THE MOTION YIELD THE
REMAINING. OF MY TIME BACK TO
THE CHAIR. I YOU WERE GONNA DO
THAT- THE OTHER CAR. THOUGH
WHICH TO CLOSE I DISAPPROVE THE
ENGAGE. AND THE STUDY'S CO TO DO

TODAY I'M HERE TO US FOR YOUR
IPHONE. ON AB EIGHT FORTY. TO
CREATE AN EXEMPTION TO THE TIED
HOUSE ROAD FOR TWENTY THREE
VENUES ACROSS SEVEN CALIFORNIA
STATE. UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES.
DOING SO WILL ALLOW THESE CS
USED TO ACCESS MUCH NEEDED
REVENUE WHICH BENEFITS THE
ATHLETIC AND OTHER PROGRAMS.
THAT UTILIZE THESE VENUES. CSU
SYSTEM SERVES OVER FOUR NINE
FIFTY THOUSAND STUDENTS ANNUALLY
. MAKING IT THE EIGHTEENTH
LARGEST UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN THE
WORLD AND IN ORDER FOR HER.
ALCOHOL MANUFACTURERS TO
ADVERTISE THAT HAVE BEEN YOU IT
AND YOU SEE AS YOU CAMPUS THE
CAMPUS MUST OBTAIN A TIED HOUSE
EXEMPTION FROM THE LEGISLATURE.
TITUS EXEMPTIONS ARE COMMON
SIGHT HERE IN THE LEGISLATURE I
HAVE FOR EXAMPLE LAST YEAR THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED S. B. TWELVE
ET. WHICH EXEMPTED THE NEWLY
CONSTRUCTED SNAPDRAGON STADIUM
SAN DIEGO STATE UNIVERSITY. I IN
THE PAST DECADE THE LEGISLATURE
HAS PASSED OVER THIRTEEN TIED
HOUSE BILLS. SO COMPARED TO LAST
YEAR'S MASSIVE SURPLUS
CALIFORNIA NOW FINDS ITSELF-
WITH SOME BUDGET ISSUES AND
EIGHT FORTY WOULD GIVE OUR CSU
CAMPUSES ADDITIONAL FORMS OF
REVENUE TO FUND ATHLETICS AND
OTHER ACTIVITIES. THAT ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO EDUCATIONAL
EXPERIENCES AND I HAVE TO
WITNESSES HERE TODAY ERIC BRAKEY
THE DIRECTOR OF STATE RELATIONS
FROM CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY. ANDREWS ACT MEYER

THE LARGEST STATE UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM UNITED STATES WITH THE
RANGE OF STUDIES IN LOCATIONS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA'S NOTED. THE
CSU PROVIDES ACCESS TO VALUABLE
LIFE CHANGING AGREES AND
SUPPORTS FOR MANY OF OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AS WELL. TO SUPPORT
THESE EFFORTS CAN AG CAMPUSES
CONTINUE TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO
BRING ADDITIONAL REVENUE TO
THEIR CAMPUSES. AFTER SERVING
OUR CAMPUSES WE FOUND THAT
SEVERAL OF THEM WERE INTEREST IN
EXPANDING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES
THROUGH SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENTS.
AB EIGHT FORTY WOULD CREATE THE
NECESSARY EXEMPTION STATUTE THAT

SOURCES THAT WILL AID AND
SUPPORT PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT OUR

MULTI MULTI PURPOSE VENUES. AS
WELL AS ITS PERFORMING ARTS

AND PERFORMING ARTS ENJOYS
STRONG SUPPORT FROM THE
COMMUNITY AND DONORS. OPERATING
BUDGETS ARE ALWAYS VERY TIGHT.
SPONSORSHIPS WITH LOCAL
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SUPPLIERS AND
MANUFACTURERS. BASED IN PART ON
ADVERTISING UP OPPORTUNITIES AT
THESE VENUES PROVIDE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DISCRETIONARY
DOLLARS THAT AUGMENT LIMITED
BASE BUDGETS. FOR EXAMPLE IN THE
CASE OF ATHLETICS EVERY LAST
DOLLAR GENERATED THROUGH THE
SPONSORSHIPS GOES INTO THEIR
SCHOLARSHIP FUND. FULLY FUNDING
SCHOLARSHIPS IS CRITICAL NOT
ONLY FOR ATHLETIC SUCCESS. BUT
ALSO TO FURTHER CAL POLY IS
DIVERSITY OBJECTIVES. THE
PERFORMING ARTS CENTER USES
THESE DOLLARS TO ALLOW TWELVE
THOUSAND LOCAL K. TWELVE
STUDENTS EACH YEAR TO EXPERIENCE
LIVE EDUCATIONAL ARTS
PERFORMANCES THROUGH THE FREE.

GIVEN THE- THE WE DON'T. WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE ADDING A LOT OF
EVERYTHING I'M GONNA LET-
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ADDRESS YOU
PHONES. YES WE'RE GOING TO WORK
AND WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH
THIS BILL IS WHAT I'M SAYING. SO
WE- WE HAVE ANYBODY IN
OPPOSITION. OR STILL SUPPORT
WHILE ALSO. CHAIR MEMBERS AUSTIN
HERE WITH ABOUT THE SAME AS
COLLEGES ONE THING THE AUTHOR
AND THE SPONSOR OF WORKING WITH
US ON THIS BILL ARE YOU DO YOU
EVER. A MERRY COLLEGE YES SIR
WHICH IS GOD REALLY A GALE- OH
OKAY BACK COME OUT OKAY THANK.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YEAH- SO I
LOW SO FOR THE RECORD GO THEIR-
I BELIEVE- SENATOR. IS A GALE I
BELIEVE NICK CARTMAN. IS A GAL
AND BRENDAN USE. IS A HOW ABOUT
THAT. WE JUST LET I THINK FOR
THE RECORD I MIGHT BE RIGHT
RIGHT ALL RIGHT ARE YOU WOULD
YOU. I AM NOT ALL RIGHT SO. NOW
IT TO ANYBODY IN THE ROOM HARDLY
IS THERE ANYBODY IN OPPOSITION
TO THIS BILL PLEASE COME
FORWARD. YOU HAVE YOUR DAY IN IN
FRONT OF THIS COMMITTEE. THANK
YOU THE CHAIR AND THE MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE I AM ACTUALLY NOT
A GALLON THE GAL JO- AND- WE
ACTUALLY HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A
TALLY WHEN I WAS THERE- BECAUSE
I WAS AT THE STUDENT NEWSPAPER-
FOR PEOPLE WHO DRUNKENLY FELL
OFF THE CLIFF AND WERE INJURED
OR KILLED. I WAS ABOUT TO WE
YEAR DURING MY TIME SO. I WOULD
LIKE YOU TO A- VOTE OPPOSITION
TO THIS BILL IT'S A- IT SEEMS
LIKE A TECH THE THREE TECHNICAL.
AND FUND RAISING EXCEPTION. BUT
WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHERE
THIS IS BEING DONE THIS IS BEING
DONE ON UNDERGRADUATE CAMPUSES.
AND SO WE HAVE FOURTEEN FIFTY
THOUSAND STUDENTS IN THIS
BUSINESS SYSTEM. A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY THOUSAND OF THEM. ARE
UNDER TWENTY ONE. THAT'S ABOUT
FORTY PERCENT. OF THE INTENDED
SORT OF BENEFICIARIES IN THE TED
RECIPIENTS OF THIS ADVERTISING.
ARE NOT OF DRINKING AGE- THIS IS
AND THEN WE ALSO LOOK WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN THE KEY IN THE
COMMUNITY HE WE AGAIN TWELVE
THOUSAND K. TWELVE STUDENTS AND
JUST CHAT WITH OBISPO. WE'RE NOW
SUDDENLY GETTING LARGE SCALE
ALCOHOL ADVERTISING IN FRONT OF
THEM. THIS SEEMS JUST SORT OF
BROADLY UNETHICAL BUT THEN
THERE'S ACTUALLY IS A SORT OF
DEEPER CRUELTY TO IT WHICH IS
THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT. WHAT ENDS
UP GETTING PEOPLE OF THIS AGE
GROUP. INTO THE HOSPITAL OR
KILLED. THE VAST MAJORITY OF IT
IS ALCOHOL RELATED VAST MAJORITY
OF IT. IS MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES
IT IS SUICIDE IS HOMICIDE NOW WE
ARE SEEING A SURGE OF ALCOHOL
INVOLVED A DRUG OVERDOSE- AND
THAT THERE IS A ACTUALLY A
PHARMACOLOGICAL REASON. BEING
INTOXICATED WITH ALCOHOL MAKES
YOU MUCH MORE LIKELY. TO
OVERDOSE ON OTHER DEPRESSANTS
LIKE OPIOIDS. SO WHEN WE THINK
ABOUT. WHAT IS THE- FISCAL GAME
HERE VERSES WITH BOTH THE- SORT
OF MORAL LOSS IT AND THE LOSS IN
TERMS OF. ACTUAL STUDENTS GONE.
FROM OUR SYSTEM. ARE THERE JUST
HAS TO BE A BETTER WAY TO FILL
THIS FUNDING GAP. AND- WE ASK
THAT THE- THAT THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER AND THE COMMITTEE KEEP
LOOKING FOR THIS BETTER WAY
BECAUSE IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM
RIGHT TO DO IT. ON THE BODIES OF
THE STUDENTS THANK YOU SIR WOULD
YOU PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND
WHO NOW REPRESENT AT LEAST SO
SORRY- CARSON BENOWITZ
FREDERICKS- ALKYL JUSTICE
INTERVAL CALIFORNIA THANK YOU
THANK YOU FOR COMING TODAY. NEXT
WEEK OR- PERSON GOT UP EARLY
THIS MORNING I. HAD TO DRIVE UP
IN THE BAY AREA SO HE'S EXCITED.
SENATORS FRED JONES ON BEHALF OF
MY CLIENT CALIFORNIA COUNCIL ON
ALCOHOL PROBLEMS WE ARE ALSO A
FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA ALCOHOL POLICY
ALLIANCE. SO WE BETWEEN THE TWO
OF US AROUND YOU NOW THE
OPPOSITION ON YOUR ANALYSIS- THE
CONCERN WE HAVE WE HAVE LOTS OF
CONCERNS BUT- THE BILLS THAT
THIS COMMITTEE HAS PASSED IN THE
LAST DECADE. WERE WITH ONE
SINGLE EXCEPTION TO TIED HOUSE
ONE AT A TIME OFTEN THEY WERE
DISTRICT BILLS. ONE OF THE
CONCERNS WITH THIS BILL IS ITS
SCOPE. THIS IS SEVEN CSU
CAMPUSES A PRIVATE CAMPUS AND A
RACING FACILITY. THROUGHOUT THE
ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. SO
THIS IS A SWEEPING. EXCEPTION TO
TIED HOUSE. AS CARSON JUST
DESCRIBED. IT'S ALSO AN
EXCEPTION IN WHICH MOST OR AT
LEAST UP 240% OF THE VIEWERS AND
PROBABLY MORE THAN 40% THAT GO
TO THESE VENUES ARE UNDER AGE-
SO THE SWEEPING NATURE OF THIS
EXCEPTION. THE TARGETED AUDIENCE
MAKES THIS BILL CONCERNING- TO
US AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS AND
I WOULD ADD JUST ONE OTHER THING
IF THIS IS ABOUT FUNDING. THE
LAST TIME THIS BODY UPDATED THE
EXCISE TAX WAS NINETEEN NINETY
TWO. AND THERE'S NO COST OF
LIVING OR COLA INFLATIONARY
CHANGE. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
REVENUES. TO HELP BALANCE CSU
CAMPUS BUDGETS AS WELL AS THE
STATE'S WE WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU
LOOK AT THE EXCISE TAXES THANK
YOU THANK YOU. A DISPLAY TIME
WILL GO TO THE PHONE LINES
MODERATOR CAN WE SEE. IF THERE'S
OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT. CLEARLY
THEY DEVELOPMENT PRESS ONE ZERO
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.
MISTER CARE WE HAVE NO ONE YOU
MAY CONTINUE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
BRING IT BACK TO. OKAY WE HAVE A
MOTION BITES CENTER ARCHULETA.
YOU HAVE A QUESTION JUST A
COMMENT MISTER SARATOGA. THANK
YOU- PHAM ALSO THANK YOU FOR
YOUR BILL- THIS IS HELPFUL TO
THE SCHOOLS THEMSELVES. BUT THE
REALITY FOR THE OPPOSITION OF
SCHOOLS AS I AM A PARENT OF A
GALE TORO GAUCHO BREWING FORTY
NINERS LION ANDROGEN. SO WE HAVE
A- AND NONE OF THOSE CAMPUSES.
ARE THIS STUDENTS- AFFECTED BY.
WHAT THE OPPOSITION IS TALKING
ABOUT- YES THERE IS DRINKING ON
CAMPUSES AND SADLY IS A- PERSON
USED TO COVER THE AREA THAT IS
THE POMONA COLLEGE'S- YES
THERE'S DRINKING ON THOSE
CAMPUSES AND THAT'S WHERE WE'D
LIKE IT TO STAY- BECAUSE WHEN IT
GOES OFF THE CAMPUS IS WHEN WE
HAVE THE TROUBLE- AND SO- EIGHT
I DON'T THINK THIS MAKES THE-
HILL OF BEANS OF IF A KID IS
GOING TO DECIDE TO. JOIN IN A
BEER PARTY OR NOT- THEY WILL
THEIR KIDS AND THEY'RE IN
COLLEGE AND THAT'S WHAT THEY
WIND UP DOING THEIR- JOBS SO- I
THINK THIS IS MORE HELPFUL THAN
IT IS HURTFUL AND- YEAH AND I AM
NOT ADVOCATING FOR UNDERAGE
DRINKING AT ALL- NEVER WOULD-
BUT- THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS.
THAT'S THE REALITY OUT THERE
AND- SO WE NEED TO DO
COMMONSENSE THINGS- THAT WILL
HELP AND- IN SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT GET FUNDED THROUGH- SOME OF
THIS- THESE TYPE OF VENTURES
ARE- HELPFUL NOT HURTFUL IN THE
BIG SCHEME OF THINGS FOR THE
VERY KIDS WERE TRYING TO
PROTECT. THANK YOU. THE BODY.
OKAY BEFORE- ASK YOUR CLOTHES
I'M AMAZED IT WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT TO THE OPPOSITION THIS
YEAR THANK YOU FOR. BEING HERE
THAT THERE'S NOT MORE OPPOSITION
I'VE RUN MANY OF THESE BILLS
