APPRECIATED THANK YOU THANK
YOU NEXT UP IS ASSEMBLY
MEMBER RAMOS AND HE'S
PRESENTING AB FORTY FOUR
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
SENATORS I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN
BY ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AB FORTY FOUR IS
A CONTINUATION OF WORKING
AND DEALING WITH THE CRITICAL
ISSUE AMONG SOME CALIFORNIAN
IN TRIBES AND TRIBES ACROSS
THE NATION ON MISSING AND
MURDERED INDIGENOUS PERSONS
PUBLIC LAW TO EIGHTY ASSERTED
JURISDICTION OF SIX STATES
CALIFORNIA BEING ONE OF THEM AT
A HEARING -- CLASS WAS AIDID AS
A GAP IN PUBLIC LOT TO EIGHTY
IN PROVIDING PUBLIC SAFETY --
TO TRAVEL COMMUNITIES IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND JUST
LAST WEEK WE HAD ANOTHER ROUND
TABLE MENDOCINO COUNTY WHERE
IT CONTINUES TO BE HIGHLIGHTED
AS A GAP IN PROVIDING PUBLIC
SAFETY AB FORTY FOUR WOULD
GRANT TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
THE ABILITY TO ACCESS THE
CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT
TRANSMITTAL SERVICE KNOWN
AS CLASS CLASSES A COMPUTER
NETWORK THAT GIVES POLICE
DEPARTMENTS ACCESS TO NATIONAL
DATABASES THAT PROVIDE VITAL
INFORMATION VITAL INFORMATION
THAT COULD PROVE TIMELY ONTO
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA ON IDENTIFYING
WHO IS COMING INTO -- TRIBAL
LANDS KLUTZ CURRENTLY TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS AND TRIBAL POLICE
DEPARTMENT CANNOT ACCESS CLASS
AND HAVE TO REQUEST ACCESS TO
CLASS FROM THE LOCAL SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT THIS MAY LEAD TO
LONG DELAYS IN TRIBAL POLICE
OFFICERS RECEIVING IMPORTANT
LIFESAVING INFORMATION SUCH AS
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESTRAINING
ORDERS CRIMINAL RECORDS AND
OTHER VITAL INVESTIGATION DATA
BY PROVIDING TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS
AND TRIBAL COURTS THE ABILITY
TO ACCESS THE SYSTEM WE CAN
HOPEFULLY START TO MAKE INROADS
ON THE MISSING AND MURDERED
INDIGENOUS PERSON -- ISSUE HERE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
KEEP CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE
SAFE CALIFORNIA IS IN THE TOP
FIVE OF UNSOLVED MISSING AND
MURDERED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WITH
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IS DOROTHY
AUTHOR WITH THE CALIFORNIA
INTO LEGAL SERVICE AND CHIEF
OF POLICE GREG O'ROURKE FROM
THE EUROPE TRIED YOU PRIMARY
WITNESSES CAN COME FORTH AT
THIS TIME YUP TWO MINUTES
DOES YOUR THANK YOU I'M I'M
TOWARD THE ALTAR NOT GRAY --
I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT ONE
PROVISION OF THE OF AB FORTY
FOUR THAT -- ALSO INCLUDES
TRIBAL COURTS AND -- GREG
WILL SPEAK MORE ABOUT LAW
ENFORCEMENT BUT ONE OF THE
ISSUES THAT WE ENCOUNTER IS
THAT WHEN A TRIBAL COURT JUDGE
ISSUES A PROTECTION ORDER --
AND THAT ORDER IS ISSUED BY
THE TRAVEL CORD IT'S OFTENTIMES
DOESN'T MAKE ITS WAY INTO
CLASS IF THAT VICTIM GOES OFF
THE RESERVATION ENCOUNTERS THE
ABUSER AND IF THEY SHARE FOR
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOWS
UP AND THE VICTIM SHARES WITH
THEM HER PROTECTION ORDER LAW
ENFORCEMENT WILL NOT ENFORCE IT
UNLESS IT IS IN CLASS AND THIS
IS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM BOTH
STATE AND FEDERAL LAW REQUIRED
THEM TO ENFORCE IT REGARDLESS
OF IF IT'S REGISTERED HOWEVER
I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS
ISSUE FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND
THE THE REAL PROBLEM IS GETTING
THE TRIBAL COURT ORDER FROM
THE JUDGE INTO CLASS WHAT THIS
WILL ALLOW THE TRIBAL COURT
JUDGES TO DO IS DIRECTLY INPUT
THEIR TRIBAL COURT ORDERS INTO
CLASS SO THAT THE VICTIM IF
THEY'RE OFFERING SURVATION
ENCOUNTER A SITUATION WHERE
THEY'RE SEEKING ENFORCEMENT OF
THAT ORDER STATE AND LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT WILL BE ABLE TO
SEE THAT IT IS IN CLASS AND IS
ENFORCEABLE SO THAT IS JUST ONE
OF THE THE STRONG POINTS THAT
I WANT TO MAKE ABOUT EIGHTY
FORTY FOUR THAT IT IS NOT
STRICTLY LAW ENFORCEMENT IT'S
ALSO ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
AND PROTECTION SO THANK YOU
THANK YOU THE NEXT WITNESS
GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS GREG
O'ROURKE AND I'M THE CHIEF OF
POLICE FOR THE EUROPE TRIBAL
POLICE DEPARTMENT I'VE BEEN
IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR TWENTY
THREE YEARS NOW SPENT ALL THAT
TIME WITH THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S
OFFICE UP IN HUMBOLDT AND
ELEVEN YEARS WITH TRIBAL POLICE
WHEN YOU BREAK DOWN EVERYTHING
AWAY FROM IT THE RECALL IN THE
ROLE OF A PEACE OFFICER IS TO
PROTECT THE VULNERABLE THAT
IS WHAT WE SIGNED UP FOR WITH
TRIBAL POLICE WE ARE ASKED TO
PROTECT A VULNERABLE COMMUNITY
THE STORE TRAUMA WITHOUT THE
TOOLS OF OR STATE COUNTERPARTS
WITHIN LAW ENFORCEMENT ONE OF
THE BIGGEST ISSUES OF COURSE
THAT WERE SEEN WITHIN THE
STATE IS ACCIDENTS OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT A VETERAN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND YET TROUBLE
POLICE ARE HERE WITH A VERY
SPECIFIC TIES TO OUR COMMUNITY
WITH A VERY COMMUNITY ORIENTED
POLICING STRATEGY IN WHICH WE
ESTABLISH TRUST AND RAPPORT
WITH OUR COMMUNITIES OUR
COMMUNITIES LOOK TO US TO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SERVICES
THAT THEY NEED BECAUSE WHEN IT
COMES DOWN TO IT THE COMMITTEE
DOESN'T CARE WHAT US CODE
THE MOST VIOLENCE FALLS UNDER
THEY JUST KNOW THEY WANT TO
STOP GETTING BEAT UP BY THEIR
HUSBAND SO THEY CALL NINE ONE
ONE AND EXPECT HELP THE FASTEST
RESPONSE AVAILABLE IS GOING
TO BE TROUBLE POLICE NOT TO
SURE SO OFFICE JUST BECAUSE
OF THE GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDS THAT
WE ARE OFTEN RESTRAINED BY
BUT WITHOUT ACCESS TO CLIENTS
THAT IS THE PORTAL IN WHICH
VITAL INFORMATION IS BEING
SHARED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
CUTS PROVIDES INFORMATION
TO THE AUTOMATED FIRE ARM
SYSTEM TO AUTOMATE A PROPERTY
SYSTEM TO A STOLEN VEHICLE
DATABASE TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
RESTRAINING ORDERS TO ONCE
WARS PROPOSED A PAROLE --
ADDIS PROBATION STATUS THIS
IS A VITAL INFORMATION THAT
TO PEACE OFFICERS NEED TO BE
ABLE TO ACCESS IN THE FIELD TO
BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A FAIR AND
IMPARTIAL AND FULLY INFORMED
DECISION TO BE ABLE TO AFFECT
OUR JOB TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
AND WITHOUT THAT ACCESS TROUBLE
POLICE IS BEING DENIED A TOOL
THAT THE REST OF THE STATE

TO THE COMMUNITY BY ALLOWING
TRIBAL POLICE ACCESS TO IT

THANK YOU I'M SURE GOOD
MORNING GOOD MORNING
ALL RIGHT WHEN YOU'RE READY
OKAY THANK YOU AGAIN MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBER AB THREE
FIVE FIVE IS A SENSIBLE
APPROACH IN CORRECTING AN
OVERSIGHT IN CURRENT LAW BY
ALLOWING PEACE OFFICER CADETS
ENROLLED IN BASIC TRAINING
PRESCRIBED BY THE COMMISSION
ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS
AND TRAINING BETTER KNOWN
AS POST OR OTHER CERTIFIED
TRAINING TO USED A TACTICAL
RIFLE WELL ENGAGE IN FIREARMS
TRAINING AND SUPERVISED BY A
FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR CURRENT
LAW EXEMPTS LAW ENFORCEMENT
FROM RESTRICTIONS ON POSSESSION
OF ASSAULT WEAPONS HOWEVER
THOSE EXEMPTIONS APPLY TO
ONLY SWORN PEACE OFFICERS
NOT CADETS ENROLLED IN POST
TRAINING THIS IS BECAUSE LED
LOGISTICAL ISSUES WITH GETTING
CADETS ADEQUATELY TRAINED AND
CERTIFIED DURING THE ACADEMY
IN PREPARATION FOR ENTRY INTO
THE FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM
WHAT COULD HAVE TO REQUIRED
TO TRAIN WITH HAND GUNS DURING
THE POST ACADEMY UNDER EXISTING
LAW THEY'RE TECHNICALLY
PROHIBITED FROM GOING THROUGH
THE SAME TRAINING WITH THE
TACTICAL RIFLES OUR POST
PROPERLY REQUIRES PROFICIENCY
IN THE USE OF THESE FIREARMS SO
TO RESOLVE THIS CONFLICT SOME
AGENCIES HAVE OPTED TO GRADUATE
CADETS WITHOUT COMPLETING
TACTICAL RIGHT TRAINING THEN
SEND THEM BACK TO RECEIVE THE
REST OF THE FIREARMS TRAINING
AS A SWORN OFFICER THIS DELAYS
AND UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATES
CADET TRAINING AND THEIR ENTRY
INTO THE AGENCY STAFFING RANKS
WILL BE CLEAR AB THREE FIVE
FIVE DOES NOT ALLOW CADETS
TO USE OR POSSESS AN ASSAULT
RIFLE ANYWHERE BUT UNDER THE
SUPERVISION OF AN STRUCTURES
DURING FIREARMS TRAINING IN
FACT I'VE WORKED WITH THE BRADY
CAMPAIGN TO CLARIFY THAT A
LONE ASSAULT RIFLE CANNOT LEAVE
THE PREMISES OF THE TRAINING
FACILITY AND NARROWING THE
MEASURE TO LIMIT THE AGENCIES
ELIGIBLE UNDER THIS BILL I WANT
TO THANK THE BRADY CAMPAIGN
FOR THEIR ENGAGEMENT AND
PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSION ON THIS
BILL MY OFFICE IN THE BRADY
CAMPAIGN NEGOTIATED IN GOOD
FAITH TO BRING THE CURRENT
VERSION BEFORE YOU MY MAKING
THIS TECHNICAL CHANGE WE CAN

TO PRESENT ON BEHALF OF THE
PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY I JUST AT
THE OUTSET -- POINT OUT THAT
LOS ANGELES COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS ALSO SUPPORTS AB
SIXTY SEVEN IT'S REALLY AN
INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO MARRY
-- ACCORD WITH COMMUNITY AND
IT BRINGS THOSE TWO THINGS
TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT IS
SO UNIQUE -- IT'S ALWAYS A
PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH MR WEBB
ITS UNIQUE COLLABORATION --
WITH PROSECUTION AND DEFENSE
AS WELL -- WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
IS THAT WHEN WE ARE AT THE
HOMELESS COURTS THERE'S AN
ATMOSPHERE THAT YES IT IS
A COURT AND IT'S PRESENTED
WITH -- -- A JUDGE BUT IT HAS
THE ATMOSPHERE OF A RESOURCE
FAIR BECAUSE WE CAN PROVIDE
RESOURCES THAT THIS COMMUNITY
AND POPULATION NEEDS IN ORDER
TO STOP AND BREAK INTERRUPT
THE CYCLE OF INCARCERATION
THAT SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE IN
HOUSE FACE VITAL SO EXPUNGEMENT
SERVICES TO RECORD CLEARING
SERVICES BECAUSE ONE OF THE
KEY AREAS TO HOUSING IS OFTEN
GETTING AN ID CARD OR HAVING
NO RECORD SO WE DO THAT WE IT'S
A STEP BY STEP PROCESS WE DO
THAT -- AND WE HAVE TO PEOPLE
BECAUSE IT'S PROVIDER DRIVEN
-- THE PROVIDERS BRING PEOPLE
TO THE COURT THAT MIGHT NOT
HAVE A CASE ON CALENDAR BUT ARE
VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT THERE
ARE WE SAW COMMUNITY RESOURCES
THAT PROVIDE COURT SERVICES
AS WELL THANKS HALF OF ALL BY
THAT COMMUNITY -- I WANT TO
GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF A OF A
PERSON THAT DID HAVE SUCCESS
IN THE REDONDO BEACH HOMELESS
COURT THAT OUR CALLER MICHELLE
FOR THE SAKE OF CONFIDENTIALITY
SHE WAS FOUND LIVING BEHIND
A DUMPSTER -- WHERE SHE HAD
BEEN FOR YEARS I'M AFFECT AND
WHEN SHE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE
HOMELESS COURTS HAVE BEEN HAVE
REPEATEDLY ARRESTED AND THEN
WENT BACK TO THE DUMPSTER WHERE
SHE LEFT WHEN SHE WAS BROUGHT
IN AND ONE OF THE KEY BARRIERS
SHE FACED WITH HAVING AN ID
CARD BUT TO GET IT SHE HAD
DELIVERED HER BIRTH NAME SHE
DIDN'T BECAUSE SHE WAS ADOPTED
SO THROUGH THE SERVICES OF
THE CASE MANAGER THEY FOUND
OUT THAT SHE HAD BEEN BORN
IN ANOTHER STATE OUR AND THAT
THE COURT HAS CITY ATTORNEY
CASE MANAGER PUBLIC FROM TO
WORK TOGETHER TO GET HER ID
SHORT STORY IS THAT SHE'S AND
PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
SHE'S FOUR YEARS SOBER TODAY
AND SHE SALAS CONTACT WITH
PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY
SO IT'S A SUCCESS STORY
THAT REALLY WORKS THANK YOU
FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND TIME
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY I WILL NOT CONTINUE
WITH ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
ROOM TWENTY TWO HUNDRED AND
IN SUPPORT OF AB SIXTY SEVEN
FIRSTLY CALDWELL HOUSTON
FOR THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE
IN SUPPORT ASSOCIATION
I TERM MEMBERS JOHN OF
THE FILM OF THE CITY
LONG BEACH IN SUPPORT
GOOD MORNING LIZZY COULD
SATISFY YOUR ENTRIES OLDER
LINK YOUR BEHALF OF THE CITY
OF SANTA MONICA AND CALIFORNIA
FACULTY ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT
JOSH AT THE BAY ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEYS
FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE WE ARE
NEUTRAL ON THE BILL HOWEVER
WE ARE IN DISCUSSIONS WITH
AUTHORS OFFICE AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUING OUR TALKS
THANK THANK YOU SEE NO OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF NOW
CONTINUE WITH ANY WITNESSES IN
OUR LEAD OPPOSITION WITNESSES
FOR AB SIXTY SEVEN ZERO TWENTY
TWO HUNDRED SEEING NONE WILL
NOW MOVE ON TO ANY ADDITIONAL
WITNESSES I'M IN OPPOSITION TO
AB SIXTY SEVEN SEEN NINE WILL
NOW MOVE ON TO WITNESSES VIA
THE TELECONFERENCE RIVERS --
MISTER MODERATE IF YOU WOULD
PLEASE PROMPT ANY INDIVIDUAL
WAITING TO TESTIFY BOTH IN
SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION TO
AB SIXTY SEVEN WILL CONTINUE
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION TO AB SIXTY
SEVEN PLEASE PRESS ONE ZERO
AND MEDICARE THERE ARE NO
COMMENTS WELL RIGHT WILL BRING
THE DISCUSSION BACK TO OUR
MEMBERS CENTER CENTER -- YES
I WILL MOVE THE BILL THE -- I
THINK THIS MAKES A LOT OF SENSE
BECAUSE CLEARLY SOME OF THE
INDIVIDUALS WHO FALL IN THIS
CATEGORY END UP TYING UP THE
COURTS A GREAT DEAL BECAUSE
LAW ENFORCEMENT PICKS THEM UP
FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS AND
OF COURSE JUST PICKING THEM
UP AND EITHER JAILING THEM OR
EVEN IF EVEN IF THERE'S NO --
RESULT OF THAT THE CONTINUATION
OF GOING TO COURT GOING TO
COURT BEING PICKED UP BY THE
POLICE ETCETERA ETCETERA IT'S
VERY COSTLY AND DOESN'T RESULT
IN A -- IN ANY KIND OF THERE'S
NO RESULTS OF THE OUT I WOULD
SAY THAT IT'S -- I THINK IT'S
AN APPROPRIATE DIRECTION AND
I SUPPORT IT AND I WILL MOVE
THE BILL BUT OF COURSE ONE OF
OUR CORE PROBLEMS IS THAT WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH HOUSING YET
FOR THESE FOLKS SO I APPRECIATE
-- REDONDO BEACH IS RELAYING
OF THE EXPERIENCE THAT THEY'VE
BEEN ABLE TO SECURE HOUSING
FOR MANY BUT I THINK OBVIOUSLY
ALL OF US KNOW WE ALSO HAVE TO
DO A LOT MORE TO PROVIDE THAT
HOUSING WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT ALL OF OUR JURISDICTIONS
ARE OPEN TO ALLOWING IN
PERMITTING SUCH HOUSING BECAUSE
FOR SOME FOLKS NOT ALL IT DOES
HAVE TO BE SUPPORTIVE SERVICES
PERMANENTLY NOT ALL I MEAN
OBVIOUSLY THE INDIVIDUAL WHO
IS DESCRIBED TO IS THE METH
ADDICT IN WHO IS IN SUCH BAD
SHAPE THEY WERE LIVING BEHIND
A DUMPSTER HAS GOTTEN TO THE
POINT WHERE THEY PROBABLY
DON'T NEED ONGOING SUPPORT
OF SERVICES HOWEVER THERE ARE
SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO WE KNOW
WE DO AND IT'S SMALLER THAN
MOST THE PUBLIC THINKS THE MOST
OF BUT IT'S STILL NEEDED AND
MANY OF OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ARE NOT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
PER SE BUT SAY RESIDENTS
ARE UNWILLING TO ALLOW SUCH
FACILITIES TO BE PERMITTED
IN THEIR DISTRICTS AND THAT
WERE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES
AND OF COURSE THAT IS GOES
COUNTER TO WHAT WE'RE TRYING
TO ACHIEVE HERE SO I KNOW THAT
-- THIS IS KIND OF SEPARATE
FROM THE BILL BUT WE NEED BOTH
IN ORDER FOR THIS TO WORK BUT
I'M WITH THE BILL THANK YOU
IF I MAY RESPOND THROUGH THEIR
-- A CENTER I -- YOU KNOW MY
DISTRICT WELL THE -- AND -- --
SOME HOUSES LEADING THAT'S
RIGHT I I I BROUGHT THAT UP ON
IN THE BILL BUT THAT'S ANOTHER
DISCUSSION -- -- BUT -- YOU
KNOW I I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
YOU KNOW THAT -- YOU KNOW
COMMUNITIES LIKE REDONDO BEACH
-- AND EVEN TORRANCE -- BECAUSE
OF -- YOU KNOW THE RECOGNITION
THAT -- WE NEED TO HAVE MORE --
HOUSING OPTIONS TO BE ABLE TO
-- SEND -- YOU KNOW FOLKS THEY
ON HOUSE WHO ARE WHO HAVE BEEN
COMING THROUGH THE HOMELESS
COURTS YOU KNOW TO IT TO HAVE
-- HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES --
NOT ONLY I MEAN I YOU KNOW I
I THINK OF IT THE HOMELESS --
-- CRISIS MAY BE MORE YOU KNOW
HAVE MORE MANAGEABLE NUMBERS IN
IN SUBURBS LIKE LIKE TORRANCE
IN REDONDO BEACH COMPARED TO
SOME OF OUR LARGER URBAN AREAS
BUT THEY THEY HAVE AS YOU HEARD
FROM OUR PUBLIC DEFENDER --
MISTER MOORE THE THAT THEY HAVE
SUCCEEDED IN AND HOUSING --
-- PEOPLE BUT BUT -- MOREOVER
YOU KNOW EVEN TORRANCE AND
REDONDO BEACH PUT UP THE --
THE TINY HOMES OR THE PALACE
SHELTERS YOU KNOW THERE'S A
LOT OF A LOCAL OPPOSITION --
TO THAT BUT YOU KNOW -- IN
OUT OF RECOGNITION -- NOT ONLY
THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE TO --
YOU KNOW COMPASSION FOR FOR
-- THAT THAT THAT THE HOMELESS
THAT -- YOU KNOW OUR LOCAL IN
THE SOUTH BAY BUT ALSO -- OUT
OF RECOGNITION OF THE NINTH
CIRCUIT -- BOISE CASE THAT
THEY THEY NEED TO -- PROVIDE
-- -- HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES
IN ORDER TO -- ADDRESS -- --
ENCAMPMENTS -- -- THAT EVEN
CONSERVATIVE COMMUNITIES
SUBURBAN COMMUNITIES -- IN THE
SOUTH BAY HAPPENED ON BUILDING
THESE TINY HOMES AND SO ON TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE AWARE
THAT YOU KNOW AND THIS IS --
-- AS AS YOU SAID IT'S IT'S
A SMART WAY THAT THAT I THINK
YOU KNOW IS NOT ONLY BRING
TOGETHER PUBLIC PROSECUTORS
AND AND -- DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
BUT ALSO THE DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS -- YOU KNOW AND
-- PERHAPS IF YOU CAN TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS ISN'T IN NEXT
YEAR'S BUDGET -- I I THINK IT'S
A SMART -- YOU KNOW IT COULD
BE A SMART TOOL -- AS PART OF
THE OVERALL -- FIGHT AGAINST
THE -- THE HOMELESS CRISIS
THANK YOU SIR SAID
THANK YOU THREE M.
COURSE ISN'T -- OBVIOUSLY A
FAN OF THE BILL AS YOU ALREADY
KNOW I'VE TRIED TO CARRY THE
BILL -- WELL FOR THE STATE
ACTUALLY A GRANT PROGRAM TO BE
ABLE TO CARRY IT THROUGH THE
STATE BECAUSE I'VE SEEN AND
HEARD -- AND I'VE LEARNED MUCH
FROM THIS ABSENT FROM PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMITTEE AND REALIZE
THE NEED TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND
-- BOTH IT THE -- THE CAPACITY
AND THE ABILITY TO HAVE THESE
COURSES IN THE REST OF THE
YEAR OF THE STATE I BELIEVE
ONLY THIRTY EIGHT OF ALL OF OUR
COUNTIES ACTUALLY HAVE THESE
COURTS IN PLACE AND SO -- OR

WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING --
ALLOCATED TO THE SUN GRATEFUL
THAT YOU'RE HEARING THIS BILL

GUN VIOLENCE UNFORTUNATELY
HAS BECOME A LEADING CAUSE

AB TWENTY EIGHT WILL DO IS
FIND LIFESAVING SCHOOL SAFETY
MEASURES AND GUN VIOLENCE
PREVENTION PROGRAMS THROUGH
A MODEST EXCISE TAX ON FIRE

THE FUNDS GENERATED FROM THIS
MODEST EXCISE TAX WOULD BE
ALLOCATED TO OUR CALIFORNIA

THANKS THANK YOU MISTER NORRIS
GOOD MORNING MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS MIKE MAKE
LIVELY ON THE POLICY DIRECTOR
OF THE GIFFORDS CENTER FOR
VIOLENCE INTERVENTION GIFFORDS
IS A NATIONAL NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION NAMED AFTER FORMER
CONGRESSWOMAN GABBY GIFFORDS
WHO WAS SHOT BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND ELEVEN MORE HOSTING
AN EVENT FOR CONSTITUENTS I'M
HERE TODAY NOT JUST ON BEHALF
OF GIFFORDS BUT ON BEHALF OF
ALL THE MEMBERS OF OUR CALVET
COALITION WHICH IS THE LARGEST
COALITION THAT STATEWIDE IN
THE COUNTRY THAT'S FOCUSED ON
ADDRESSING COMMUNITY VIOLENCE
IN OUR COMMUNITIES I WANT TO
THANK MANY OF THE MEMBERS WHO
MADE TIME TO BE HERE TODAY
ARE FILLING UP THIS ROOM RIGHT
NOW REALLY APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE OUR TOP PRIORITY
THIS YEAR IS THE PASSAGE OF
AB TWENTY EIGHT AND THAT'S
BECAUSE OF THE CONFLUENCE
OF TWO DIFFERENT THINGS ONE
IS THAT VIOLENCE IS ON THE
RISE IT NATIONWIDE AND HERE
IN CALIFORNIA AS WELL WE'VE
HAD A FORTY PERCENT INCREASE
IN VIOLENCE THAT'S WITH
SPECIFICALLY GUN VIOLENCE AND
THE ONSET OF COATED IN TWENTY
TWENTY AND AGAIN THAT'S WHAT
YOU NEED TO CALIFORNIA THAT'S
BEING EXPERIENCED IN STATES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY AT THE
SAME TIME WE'RE SEEING RECORD
GUN SALES HERE IN CALIFORNIA
AND RECORD PROFITS FOR THE
GUN INDUSTRY CALIFORNIANS ARE
PAYING A PRICE LITERALLY AND
FIGURATIVELY FOR THIS INCREASE
AND GUN VIOLENCE I JUST TO
GIVE YOU A SENSE THE AVERAGE
HOMICIDE A SINGLE HOMICIDE COST
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS TWO POINT
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS AND THE
ANNUAL COST OF GUN VIOLENCE IS
TWENTY TWO POINT SIX BILLION
DOLLARS ANNUALLY OF WHICH ONE
POINT TWO BILLION IS PAID FOR
BY TAXPAYERS EVERY SINGLE YEAR
COULD HELP ADDRESS THIS AB
TWENTY WOULD PLACE A MODEST
ELEVEN PERCENT EXCISE TAX ON
THE GUN INDUSTRY ON THE SALE
OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION
AND THAT WOULD GENERATE AN
ESTIMATED A HUNDRED AND SIXTY
MILLION DOLLARS TO FUND CALVET
AND A NUMBER OF OTHER VIOLENCE
PREVENTION ACTIVITIES INCLUDING
SCHOOL SAFETY RELINQUISHMENT
OF FIREARMS FOR THOSE HAVE
BEEN PROHIBITED AND OTHER
LIFE SAVING MEASURES THIS
IS A REASONABLE TAX IT'S NOT
DESIGNED TO PREVENT PEOPLE
FROM PURCHASING A FIREARM WHAT
CALIFORNIA ONCE DESCRIBED AS
THE PURCHASE OF A PRODUCT WE
KNOW HOW TO DO THAT CONSIDER
THAT FOR SOME TOBACCO PRODUCTS
WITH THE EXTENT WE DO AN EXCISE
TAX OF UP TO SIXTY PERCENT AND
HERE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ELEVEN
PERCENT TAX THIS IS SIMILAR
TO A NATIONAL ELEVEN PERCENT
EXCISE TAX THAT THE FARM
INDUSTRY ITSELF HAS PRAISED
THE MONEY GENERATED FROM THAT
FEDERAL TAXES USED TO PROTECT
WILDLIFE FOR THE STATE TO HERE
TODAY IF WE CAN SUPPORT ATTACKS
TO PROTECT WILDLIFE WE SHOULD
BE EQUALLY SUPPORTIVE OF ATTACK
THAT'S DESIGNED TO PROTECT
HUMAN LIFE HERE IN CALIFORNIA
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT AB TWENTY
EIGHT IS DESIGNED TO DO THROUGH
THIS MODEST TAX WE WILL SUPPORT
PERMANENTLY A SUITE OF VERY
EFFECTIVE VIOLENCE REDUCTION
PROGRAMS THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY
SAVE LIVES WHILE RESPECTING
THE SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF
GUN OWNERS NO OTHER INDUSTRY
HAS THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED TO
IT THAT THE GUN INDUSTRY DOES
IN THIS COUNTRY IN CALIFORNIA
CAN AGAIN LEAD WHEN IT COMES
TO PUTTING PEOPLE OVER PROFITS
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND
WE URGE YOU TO SUPPORT AND
PASS AB TWENTY OUT OF THIS

TWENTY TWENTY TWO HUNDRED NO
PRESSURE THAT'S A TOUGH ACT
TO FOLLOW GOODNESS GRACIOUS
IS SAYING FOR THE RECORD MY
NAME IS MICHAEL FINLEY I'M
THE DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS FOR THE NATIONAL
SHOOTING SPORTS FOUNDATION
WE ARE THE FIREARM INDUSTRY
BECAUSE TRADE ASSOCIATION
FOR FIREARM MANUFACTURERS
AMMUNITION MANUFACTURERS
RETAILERS AND RANGES I'M ALSO
HERE REPRESENTING -- GUNNERS
A CALIFORNIA THE CALIFORNIA
RIFLE PISTOL SOLICITATION AND
THE NRA THEY COULD NOT BE HERE
THEY HAD OTHER OBLIGATIONS THAT
AND AND GOODNESS I WANT TO SIT
EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM WE WE
THINK THAT THE CALIFORNIA THAT
PROGRAM IS GOOD AND WE WANT TO
SEE IT FUNDED AS WELL ADDING
AN EXCISE TAX ON ALL FIREARM
SALES AND AMMUNITION SALES IS
NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO GO IN FACT
IT'S A LITTLE BIT DANGEROUS
AND LET ME EXPLAIN WHY IT IS
THE WAY THAT WE FIND IN THIS
GOING TO SOUND LIKE A TANGENT
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT THE WAY TO
BE FUN WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT
WAS BROUGHT UP BY A COUPLE THE
PROPONENTS OF THIS BILL THROUGH
WHAT'S CALLED THE PITTMAN
ROBERTSON ACT THIS IS AN EXCISE
TAX THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE OVER
A HUNDRED YEARS AGO AND IT
GETS REDISTRIBUTED TOWARDS THE
STATE'S AND PROVIDES JUST IN
TWENTY TWENTY TO FOR INSTANCE
IN CALIFORNIA PROVIDED OVER
THIRTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FOR
HABITAT WILDLIFE RESTORATION
WATER RECLAMATION PROJECTS
ENHANCEMENTS THINGS OF THAT
NATURE OVER ONE POINT ONE
BILLION DOLLARS NATIONALLY
NOW WHAT WE HEARD FROM
THE PROPONENTS IN PREVIOUS
TESTIMONY IS THAT THIS TAX IS
PUNITIVE IN NATURE IS DESIGNED
NOT TO BE A TAX FOR TAX SIX
BE A SMALL MODEST ONE BUT IT
IS TO STOP FIREARMS IN GENERAL
OR SALES THAT IN ITSELF CAN
BE CHALLENGED IN COURT IF
THAT HAPPENS THE VERY WILDLIFE
PROGRAMS THAT THIS COUNTRY
HAS DEVELOPED IN TERMS OF
THE NORTH AMERICAN WILDLIFE
MODEL CONSERVATION COULD BE
THREATENED THAT'S JUST ONE
THING BUT I WANT TO POINT TO
WHAT GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM
SAID THE OTHER DAY WHEN HE WAS
VISITING SAN FRANCISCO AND HE
SAID I'M SICK OF IT WE HAVE THE
LAWS IN PLACE AND I APOLOGIZE
THIS IS HIS LANGUAGE NOT ONE WE
NEED TO ENFORCE THOSE DAMN LOS
AND WE LOOK AT PREVIOUS STUDIES
ABOUT WHERE VIOLENT CRIMINALS
WHO ARE OBTAINING FIRE ARMS
ARE GETTING THEM FROM IS OVER
NINETY PERCENT THROUGH E.
LEGAL MEANS WHETHER TROLL
PURCHASING BURGLARY THEFTS WE
NEED TO CONCENTRATE ON THOSE
SORT WE ON THOSE METHODS OF
THEM GETTING IT TO STOP AND
CURB VIOLENCE NO I KNOW I DON'T
HAVE MUCH TIME HERE BUT WE
WE ALSO WANT TO LET EVERYBODY
KNOW THAT WE ARE ABOUT REAL
SOLUTIONS THE NATIONAL BOND
NSSF HAS PUT TOGETHER A SLATE
OF REAL SOLUTION PROGRAMS
TO CURB THINGS LIKE STRAW
PURCHASES -- LYING FOR OTHER
PEOPLE WHICH IS THAT'S WHAT
A STRAW PURCHASES MAKING
SURE THE REAL TALE RETAILERS
AND OUR RANGES UNDERSTAND
HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
FROM BURGLARIES MAKING SURE
THAT WE DO WORK WITH ATF AND
OTHER FEDERAL PARTNERS LAW
ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS TO PUT
OUR OWN MONEY FOR -- REWARDS TO
CATCH PERPETRATORS OF THEFT AND
BURGLARY WITH THAT WE REALLY
WANT TO LET YOU KNOW THAT THERE
ARE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES OF
THIS BILL AND WHILE THE CALVET
PROGRAM IS SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN ALL GET BEHIND AND SUPPORT
THIS FUNDING SHOULD COME FROM
THE THE GENERAL FUND AND WE
SHOULD NOT IMPOSE ANOTHER
EXCISE TAX ON IT WITH THAT
WE ARE STRONGLY AGAINST THE
BILL THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WE HAVE A
SECOND LEAD WITH THIS -- MADAM
CHAIR MEMBERS THE COMMITTEE
MARKEDLY WITH CALIFORNIA
WATERFOWL ASSOCIATION FOR
WETLANDS CONSERVATION GROUP
RESTORING HANTS WETLANDS
ANOTHER WATERFALL HABITAT
REPRESENT ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND
MEMBERS STATEWIDE AND WE HAVE
BEEN DEALING WITH THIS -- TAX
PROPOSAL AND OTHER FORMS FOR
MANY YEARS NOW SO IT'S VERY
FAMILIAR TO US -- OUR MAIN
ISSUE NO ISSUE HERE IS THE BILL
BASICALLY IS GOING TO DOUBLE
BUT WHAT WE HAVE IN TERMS AS
TAXES AND ESSENTIALLY IF YOU
ADD UP ALL THE OTHER TAXES
WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING AT ABOUT
A THIRTY PERCENT TAX ON ALL
FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION TO US
THAT IS A MAJOR DISINCENTIVE
THAN FOR PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE
IN HUNTING AND THE SHOOTING
SPORTS AND IT'S ALSO AS WAS
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED GOING
TO BE A MAJOR DISINCENTIVE
THAN FOR FOLKS TO CONTRIBUTE
TO THOSE PITTMAN ROBERTSON
FUNDS ARE SO CRITICAL TO OUR
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION EFFORTS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF FISH AND WILDLIFE GETS
ABOUT THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY FROM THAT -- P.
R.
FIND AND SO WE SEE THIS REALLY
-- JEOPARDIZING NOT IN THE LONG
TERM -- COUPLE OTHER THINGS THE
BILL WOULD UNJUSTIFIABLY BURDEN
LOW INCOME CALIFORNIANS --
WITH -- THESE HIGHER COSTS THEY
CAN'T AFFORD DANDA TO HEIGHTEN
PARTICIPATE IN SHOOTING SPORTS
AND YOU'RE BASICALLY ASKING
YOU KNOW CITIZENS WHO ARE USING
FIREARMS LEGALLY AND SAFELY
TO PAY FOR THE RESPONSIBLE OR
ILLEGAL ACTS OF OTHERS AND WE
THINK THAT IS NOT JUSTIFIED
AND -- LASTLY WE JUST DON'T
SEE THAT THIS BILL IS GOING
TO DO ANYTHING POSITIVE TO
DIRECTLY ADDRESS GUN VIOLENCE
FOR SO FOR THOSE REASONS WE
ASK OUR OPPOSITION THANK YOU
AND YOUR -- THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WILL NOT CONTINUE
WITH ANY OTHER WITNESSES

SUPPORT OF THIS BILL THANK YOU
AND THEN YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T
HURT HERE BUT YOUR -- YOUR
EMPHASIZED IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL WAS ACTUALLY AND
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THE
AUDIENCE PRESENT HERE ROOM
TWENTY TWO HUNDRED M.
SO HAVING HEARD -- FROM A
PORTION OF OUR OUR CALLERS WE
HAVE MANY WHO WERE -- UNABLE
TO PRESENT -- TO TESTIFY VIA
THE TELECONFERENCE OR AS WE
IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SIR I
BELIEVE THAT THE CAN STILL
SUBMIT THEIR COMMENTS -- IN
SUPPORT AND OPPOSITION VIA --
ARE THE WEBSITE THE PORTAL SO
WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SO --
WE WOULD DO WHEN I HEAR YOUR
VOICE YOUR VOICE DOES MATTER
-- THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO
ALL OUR SUPPORT IN OPPOSITION
WITNESSES HERE -- IN AB THEY
WERE ABLE TO ATTEND -- -- THE
COMMITTEE HEARING WILL NOT
BRING IT BACK TO THE DYESS
THANK YOU I THINK -- THE -- THE
DIALOGUE FROM THE SUPPORTERS
AND THE OPPOSITION IS -- BEEN
WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT BUT I
THINK THAT THE WHAT I GUESS I
WOULD LIKE TO SAY IN CLOSING
ON BEHALF OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GABRIEL IS THAT WHILE THERE WAS
-- EXPRESSION FROM OPPOSITION
THAT RATHER THAN USING SUCH
AN EXCISE TAX WE SHOULD USE
GENERAL FUND NOW -- ASSEMBLY
MEMBER DID NOT PROVIDE ME BE A
GENERAL FUND ESTIMATE OF WHAT
WE ARE ALREADY SPENDING AS
RESULT OF GUN VIOLENCE BUT IT
IS VERY SIGNIFICANT AND THAT
IS GENERAL FUND COSTS SO WE ARE
ALREADY EXPENDING HUGE AMOUNT
OF GENERAL FUND MONEY WHETHER
IT'S THE VICTIMS COMPENSATION
OUR COURTS OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT
YOU NAME IT THROUGH GENERAL
FUND BALANCE TO ADD TO ASK THAT
TO NOT ASK GUN OWNERS TO BEAR
SOME OF THAT COST TO HELP US
WITH DEALING WITH THIS -- THE
GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC I THINK
IS UNREASONABLE I THINK IT IS
REASONABLE TO ASK SO WITH THAT
I RESPECTFULLY ASPIRIN I POSTED
BEHALF OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER HE
FELL WAIT FOR BECAUSE YOU CAN
MAKE OKAY OKAY SO WE WILL WAIT
UNTIL WE HAVE OTHER MEMBERS
PRESIDENT CLINTON RIGHT THANK
YOU SAID I WAS GONNA TAKE THE
GAVEL AND SHE SAID TAKE THE
GAVEL SO YOU CAN GO TO JAIL
OKAY CAN I JUST MAKE SOME
BROCHURE HERE SO -- I DO JUST
WANT IT REALLY QUICK SO WE'RE
IN A PICKLE RIGHT NOW WE ARE
-- LITERALLY WE HAVE SEVERAL
COMMITTEES GOING ON AT THE
VERY SAME TIME AND MANY OF OUR
MEMBERS ARE EITHER PRESENTING
BILLS OR THE PRESIDING OVER
OTHER -- COMMITTEES AND SO
WE'RE LITERALLY TRYING TO
SHUFFLE EVERYBODY AROUND TO
GET -- GET WHERE WE NEED TO
BE SO WE APOLOGIZE IT'S NOT
OF DISRESPECT THAT THE MEMBERS
ARE NOT HERE WE'RE LEAVING
BUT JUST THE FACT THAT WORD
LITERALLY TRYING TO SHOVEL
EVERYBODY BETWEEN SENATE AND
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEES INCLUDING
THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
THAT'S CURRENTLY GOING ON IN
THE IN THE ASSEMBLY AS WELL
SO I'M I JUST WANTED TO --
SORT OF SPEAK ON BEHALF OF
OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE
ARE LAW ABIDING -- UPSTANDING
INDIVIDUALS IN THE CITY
CALIFORNIA WHO -- ONE COLLECTED
GUNS IT'S PART OF THEIR CULTURE
THEIR FAMILY CULTURE AS WELL
AS -- THE SPORTSMANSHIP THAT
IS -- THAT -- THIS IS A SPORTS
FOR THEM AND THE IMPACT THAT
THAT WILL HAVE ON THE SPORTING
-- -- SPACE ON THAT END BUT I
ALSO WANTED TO NOTE BECAUSE IT
WAS I MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY
-- THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING
THIS EXCISE TAX THAT WOULD --
IRONICALLY -- IMPACT THOSE ARE
LAW ABIDING CITIZENS TRYING TO
PURSUE BOTH GUNS AND AMMUNITION
AND I IN A LEGAL WAY -- BUT --
I JUST WANTED TO KNOW THAT I
HAVE IN MY NOTES HERE THAT --
IN TWENTY TWENTY TO THE BUDGET
THE GENERAL FUND ACTUALLY
ALLOCATED SEVENTY SIX MILLION
DOLLARS TO THE CALIPHATE
PROGRAM AND IN TWENTY TWENTY
THREE TWENTY TWENTY FOUR BUDGET
IT HAS PROPOSED SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS TO THE PROGRAM
SO AB THE LEGISLATURE HAS
ACTUALLY DONE A VERY -- AS AN
A AND I'M NOT I CAN'T I'M NOT
GOING TO CALL IT A GREAT JOB
I'M NOT SURE HOW THAT COMPARES
OF FUNDING BUT I JUST WANTED
TO HAVE FOR THE RECORD THAT --
THE LEGISLATURE HAS ACTUALLY --
ALLOCATED THIS FUNDING TOWARDS
THE PROGRAMS AND M.
IN LIGHT OF WHAT IS BEING
PROPOSED HERE WITH THE ELEVEN
PERCENT EXCISE TAX WHICH ONCE
AGAIN IT WOULD JUST IMPACT
THOSE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS THAT
ARE TRYING TO PURCHASE THOSE
IN A LEGAL MATTER NOT GOING
THROUGH -- AT THE TURN IT IS
THE ONE OF THE CONCERNS THAT
I HAVE AND I JUST WANNA PUT
THAT ON THE RECORD IS WHEN WE
-- AND WE SEEN THIS -- ALSO IN
THE ILLEGAL GROWS ARE HAPPENING
IN IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WHEN WE TAX AN INDUSTRY --
VERY HIGHLY AND WE CONTINUE TO
TAX IT BECOMES PUNITIVE AND IT
ACTUALLY DOESN'T OF ICE IS THAT
THE RIGHT PEOPLE FROM DOING THE
RIGHT THING AND THAT'S ONE OF
THE CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH
THIS PARTICULAR BILL -- ON THAT
AND THAT IT DOES ACTUALLY GO
AFTER LAW ABIDING INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE TRYING TO DO IT THE
RIGHT WAY I'M JUST GONNA LIKE
AN ADD TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN
THE ISSUES THAT WE'RE SEEING
AND WEAK AND AND THE LAWS ARE
CURRENTLY SEEN TO FIX THAT
ISSUE IS THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
OVER TAX THE LEGAL GROWS -- IN
THE IN THE IN THE IN THE CITY
CALIFORNIA AND IT'S CAUSING
A PROBLEM WITH AN INCREASE IN
ILLEGAL GROWS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA SO DON'T WANT TO
CREATE THAT TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT
WE ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING
THAT'S HAPPENING ALREADY IN
THAT END AND SO I JUST WANTED
TO HAVE THAT FOR THE RECORD --
AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO VOTING
ON THIS ONCE WE HAVE THAT
-- THE COR MISSILE NOW BEEN
HOUSES OVER TO -- WILL YES
THE CHAIRMANSHIP TO SYNAPSE
ENOUGH YOUR -- POLICIES FOR
YOU RUN OUT BY IN SAYING THAT
I DID NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION
I WANT TO JUST CORRECT I DO
HAVE THE INFORMATION OR WHAT
THE ESTIMATES OF THE COST OF
GUN VIOLENCE IN CALIFORNIA
IS THE ESTIMATES ARE THAT --
GUN DEATHS AND INJURIES COST
CALIFORNIA TWENTY THREE POINT
SIX BILLION ANNUALLY AND OF
THAT ONE POINT TWO BILLION
IS PAID DIRECTLY BY TAXPAYERS
SO IF WE COMPARE THAT TO THE
SEVENTY BILLION OR SEVENTY TWO
MILLION SKEWS ME THE SEVENTY
TWO MILLION WE PUT TO CALVET
VERSUS A TWENTY TWO BILLION
DOLLAR COST I THINK THERE'S
A GREAT DISPROPORTION SO JUST
WANTED TO PUT THAT ON THE
RECORD BECAUSE I APPEARED
IN SAYING I DIDN'T HAVE THE
INFORMATION ALL RIGHT SO NOW
WE WILL MOVE TO OUR I AM NOW
TAKING OVER THE CHAIR GOT THE
GAVEL WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO
OUR NEXT FILL IN THE NEXT BILL
IS REMEMBER KALRA AND HE WILL
BE PRESENTING AB FIFTY EIGHT
THANK YOU MADAM

CLARA COUNTIES TO ALLOW YOUNG
ADULTS BETWEEN EIGHTEEN AND
TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF AGE OF
COMMITTEE NONVIOLENT FELONY TO
VOLUNTARILY ENTER INTO PROGRAM
TO OFFER AGE APPROPRIATE
SERVICES IN THE JUVENILE
SYSTEM EVIDENCES HAS SHOWN
THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE
STILL UNDERGOING SIGNIFICANT
BRAIN DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD
LEAD THEM TO MAKING IMPULSIVE
DECISIONS AND RESULT IN A
FELONY CONVICTION JEOPARDIZING
ANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM
IN THE FUTURE THIS PROGRAM
IS SHOWN TO BE EFFECTIVE AND
HAS HAD A POSITIVE OUTCOME
FOR INDIVIDUALS OF THIS AGE
GROUP BY PROVIDING RESOURCES
DESIGNED FOR REHABILITATION BY
HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THEIR BEHAVIOR IN A MEANINGFUL
WAY BY SENDING THE SENSE

THIS PROGRAM INDIVIDUALS WERE
CHARGED WITH FELONIES YET THESE
YOUNG ADULTS -- IMPORTANTLY
RECEIVE AGE APPROPRIATE
SERVICES SUCH AS COGNITIVE
BEHAVIORAL THERAPY MENTAL
HEALTH TREATMENT VOCATIONAL
TRAINING EDUCATION AND RELATED
SERVICES -- I THINK IMPORTANTLY
THIS BALANCES TREATMENT AND
COMMUNITY SAFETY NEEDS FOR
EACH SPECIFIC PROGRAMMING AND
REENTRY SERVICES -- AS WELL AS
THE ABILITY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL
TO HAVE THEIR CHARGES DISMISSED
UPON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION
-- WHEN DETERMINE THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL WOULD BE A GOOD
CANDIDATE FOR THE PROGRAM --
TAKE ANYTHING TOGETHER THESE
PROGRAMMATIC ELEMENTS SEEK TO
GET YOUNG ADULTS THE SKILLS AND
SUPPORTS NEEDED TO SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETE THEIR PROGRAM --
MITIGATE FURTHER INVOLVEMENT
WITHIN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM
AND ON TO MORE SUSTAINABLE
HEALTHY PATHWAYS BACK IN
THE COMMUNITY THROUGH THESE

MAKE CHANGES THE PARKING

NEXT WE HAVE NO -- FURTHER
COMMENT AT THE TIME WONDERFUL
SO I'M THE ONLY ONE IN THE
DIET SO MAKE COMMITMENT AT ALL
IT YOU CLICK WHOSE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER -- GIVEN THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE UNFORTUNATELY VERY
VERY UNFORTUNATELY WHO NOW IN
CALIFORNIA IN EFFECT RECITE
IN THEIR CARS I INCLUDING A
GREAT NUMBER OF STUDENTS TO
HAVE THE CIRCUMSTANCES MUCHAS
I APPRECIATE HAVING BEEN SERVED
IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT WANTS TO BE ABLE
TO COLLECT THAT PAYMENT ON
THAT UNPAID TICKETS TO REMOVE
THAT CAR -- IN EFFECT REMOVES
THEIR RESIDENTS AND HAS GREAT
GREAT CONSEQUENCES AND YOU
KNOW THERE ARE CERTAINLY PEOPLE
WHO ARE JUST -- MAY YOU KNOW
MAY DISAPPEAR NOT A RESPONSIVE
TO PAYING THEIR TICKETS BUT
MOST PEOPLE WHO DO NOT PAY
THEIR TICKETS BECAUSE OF THE
VARIETY OF CONSEQUENCES IT'S
DRAGGED OUT IT AFFECTS YOUR
REGISTRATION IT OF -- VARIOUS
OTHER THINGS ON THAT BECAUSE
THEY CANNOT PAY AND -- BY MANY
MANY YEARS AGO MORE YEARS AGO
THAN I WANT TO ADMIT TO --
RATHER NOT ADMIT TO IT BUT
RATHER WOULD AGE ME -- IN MY --
-- I WAS IN DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS
AND OUR HOUSEHOLD HAD A SINGLE
VEHICLE THAT SINGLE VEHICLE
WAS UNDER THE REGISTRATION
OF THE OTHER PERSON BUT
THIS PERSON MIGHT X.
THE -- YOU LIVE OUT YOU COULD
HAVE THE CARD FOR LIKE OH
GREAT THIS IS GREAT OF COURSE
WHEN I GET THE CAR AND I GO
TO REGISTERED UNDER MY NAME I
FIND IT HAS THIRTY FIVE UNPAID
TICKETS WHICH I WAS NOT IN A
POSITION TO AFFORD TO PAY BUT
I WAS ABLE TO YOU KNOW MY WORK
ALLOWED ME TO TAKE THE TIME
OFF TO GO TO COURT AND BE PUT
ON A A COMMUNITY SERVICE TO TO
DEAL WITH THESE TICKETS THAT
I HAD NOT ACCUMULATED -- AND
-- ANYWAY BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE
NOT IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE THEY
NEITHER HAVE THE TIME TO BE
ABLE TO GO TO COURT NOR DO THEY
HAVE THE TIME TO DO -- YOU KNOW
THE OR THE CIRCUMSTANCES FOR
WHICH TO ADDRESS THOSE THINGS
SO I THINK THAT THIS BILL IS
MORE THAN REASONABLE I WOULD
BE HAPPY TO MOVE IT BUT I AM
NOT ABLE TO AND I WILL ALLOW
YOU TO CLOSE THANK YOU BUT
I'M SURE THAT YOU POINT OUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS BILL
I THINK THAT -- THE ABILITY
RIGHT NOW FOR ONE TICKET TO BE
ABLE TO SEND IT INTO DMB FOR
TO SUSPEND SOMEONE'S RIFAXIMIN
REGISTRATION -- BUT I THINK IS
-- TOTALLY AGREE JUST GIVEN THE
-- THE THE OFFENSE AND HAVING
AN ACTUAL SINGLE TICKET BUT --
TO THE THE CHAIRS POINT OTHER
MANY LOW INCOME CALIFORNIA'S
WORKING FAMILIES THAT HAVE
ONE VEHICLE THAT ARE SHARED
BY THREE OR MORE PEOPLE IN THE
HOUSEHOLD AND THAT ARE USED TO
GO TO WORK THEY USED TO GO TO
SCHOOL ANOTHER USE FOR CRITICAL
NEEDS FOR THE FAMILY -- AND
IT'S IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT
EVERY SINGLE FAMILY MEMBERS
GOING TO KNOW HOW MANY TICKETS
MAY BE ATTACHED TO A CERTAIN
VEHICLE AND TO PUNISH THAT
FAMILY AND PUT THAT PUT THEM
IN A SPIRAL TOWARDS POVERTY
FURTHER THAT IS CERTAINLY
A PUNISHMENT THAT'S FAR
GREATER THAN THE INFRACTIONS
SO WITHOUT THE PROPER
TIME UP HELLO THE PROPANE
TIME MASS FOR A NIGHT THE
S.

SIX INSURERS AT VARIOUS RECORD
CLEARING PROVISIONS THAT HAVE
BEEN ENACTED IN RECENT YEARS
ARE ALSO ABLE TO BENEFIT PEOPLE
IN THE CONTEXT OF IMMIGRATION
PROCEEDINGS EXISTING LAW
PROVIDES EXPANSION REALLY
FOR PERSONS CONVICTED UNDER
FORMER PENAL CODE SECTIONS SIX
FIVE THREE POINT TWO TWO AND
SIX FOUR SEVEN F.
BUT THAT RELIEF IS INEFFECTIVE
IN CERTAIN IMMIGRATION CONTACTS
AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY SIX ALLOWS
IMMIGRANTS TO BENEFIT FROM
THAT RECORD CLEARING RELIEF
EVEN IN THE CONTEXT OF FEDERAL
IMMIGRATION PROCEEDINGS
THIS LEGISLATOR PEELED PENAL
CODE SECTION SIX FIVE THREE
POINT TWO TWO BECAUSE IT
CREATED OPPORTUNITIES FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ENGAGE IN
DISCRIMINATORY POLICING THAT
TARGETED BLACK AND BROWN WOMEN
AND MEMBERS OF THE TRANSGENDER
COMMUNITY LIKEWISE THE LOCAL
SECTION SIX FORTY SEVEN F.
WAS BASED ON FEAR AND LIMITED
MEDICAL SCIENCE AT THE TIME
AND PENALIZE SEX WORKERS
WHO WERE LIVING WITH HIV AND
WAS REPEALED RECOGNIZING THE
PRIOR LAWS DISPARATE IMPACT ON
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES THESE
REFORMS ALLOWED INDIVIDUALS TO
VACATE THEIR PRIOR CONVICTIONS
BUT WEREN'T PHRASE PROPERLY

PEOPLE SEEKING IMMIGRATION

FOR IMMIGRATION PURPOSES
A CONVICTION IS CONSIDERED
VACATED ONLY IF IT WAS LEGALLY
ARE PROCEDURALLY DEFECTIVE
AT THE TIME IT WAS ENTERED

PERCEPTION THAT EACH CONVICTION
WAS INVALID AT THE TIME IT
WAS ENTERED RATHER THAN MERELY
THINK HITTING THEM WITHOUT
GIVING ANY REASON WE REMOVE
THE OLD PENAL CODE PROVISIONS
AND PROVIDED A WAY FOR PEOPLE
TO LEAVE THOSE RECORDS BEHIND
THEM NEED TO ENSURE THAT THIS
REMEDY WORKS FOR EVERYONE
NO ONE SHOULD BE ARRESTED
FOR SHOWING TOO MUCH SKIN
NO ONE SHOULD BE PROSECUTED
FOR HAVING HIV AND NO ONE
SHOULD BE DEPORTED BECAUSE

GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS JACKIE
GONZALEZ AND I'M CURRENTLY
THE POLICY DIRECTOR OF
IMMIGRANT DEFENSE ADVOCATES A
PROJECT FOCUSED ON IMMIGRANTS
IN DETENTION IN THE STATE
PREVIOUSLY HAS SERVED AS
CO DIRECTOR OF CENTER THAT
IDENTIFIES AS IMMIGRATION
PROGRAM HELPING TO GROW INTO
ONE OF THE LARGEST RENEWABLE
DEFENSE PROVIDERS IN THE
STATE AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY
SIX IS A CRITICAL REFORM
AS YOU'VE HEARD TODAY IT'S
NECESSARY TO PROTECT SOME OF
THOSE VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF
OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY FROM
UNFAIR DEPORTATIONS RESOLVES
A LOOPHOLE THAT UNFAIRLY
IMPACTS IMMIGRANTS AND NON
CITIZENS ALIKE AND CREATES
EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE
LAW AT THIS COMMITTEE HAS
HEARD CERTAINLY MANY TIMES
BEFORE IMMIGRATION LAWS IN
THIS COUNTRY AND HOW THEY ARE
APPLIED ARE EXTREMELY COMPLEX
OVER THE COURSE OF MY CAREER
I'VE REPRESENTED HUNDREDS
OF INDIVIDUALS IN REMOVAL
PROCEEDINGS AND CAN ATTEST TO
THE FACT THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE
OFTEN UNFAIRLY PUNISHED BECAUSE
OF CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS THAT
WERE VACATED BY STATE LAW IT'S
STILL VIEWED AS CONVICTIONS
UNDER FEDERAL LAW THIS
UNFORGIVING STANDARD ROUTINE
THE RESULTS IN THE DEPORTATION
OF INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE WOULD
HAVE OTHERWISE HAD A PATHWAY
TO REMAIN IN THIS COUNTRY
AND POSE NO THREAT TO OUR
COMMUNITIES AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY
SIX WAS FOR THE INDIVIDUALS
WHO MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR RELIEF
FROM DEPORTATION CAN ACCESS
THAT AND ARE NOT SUPPORTED
ON THE TECHNICALITY EVEN FOR
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT
ACTIVELY FACING DEPORTATION
CERTAIN CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS
MAKE IT REALLY RISKY TO APPLY
TO BECOME CITIZENS LEST THEY
END UP IN IMMIGRATION COURT
IN THESE CASES EVEN THOUGH
SOMEONE IS NOT IMMINENTLY
THE PORTABLE THEY REMAIN IN
LIMBO IN OUR COUNTRY UNABLE TO
APPLY TO BECOME U.
S.
CITIZENS THE PRACTICAL EFFECT
OF THIS IS THAT THEY REMAIN
IN IN ELIGIBLE FOR ECONOMIC OR
SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES THEY WOULD
OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO ACCESS
RELEGATING THEM TO A LIFE OF
FURTHER INSTABILITY INSTEAD OF
RE INTEGRATING THEM INTO OUR
SOCIETY AB SEVENTY TWENTY SIX

APPROPRIATE CURRENT COMPOSITION
AND WORRY THAT ADDING TO IT
THAT WAS STANDING IMPORTANCE

BODY GOVERNOR NEWSOM NOTED
THIS CONCERN IN HIS VETO OF A
SIMILAR BILL FROM LAST SESSION
SAYING COULD BE A C.
C.
HAS HAD A THIRTEEN MEMBER
BOARD SINCE TWENTY THIRTEEN I
AM CONCERNED THAT INTO MEMBERS
UNNECESSARILY GROWS THE BOARD
AND COULD IMPEDE ITS ABILITY TO
TIME TO CARRY OUT ITS MISSION
AND FOR THE WEALTHIEST YOU
SEE IS THE APPROPRIATE VENUE
FOR SETTING MINIMUM STANDARDS
FOR DETENTION FACILITIES WE
THINK THIS BILL GOES TOO FAR BY
INSTALLING SPECIFIC STANDARDS
IN THE STATUTE -- THE BSE BOARD
MEMBERS PRACTITIONERS AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS -- UNDERTAKEN
NEAR CONSTANT REVISION OF THE
TITLE FIFTEEN STANDARDS FOR
ADULT AND JUVENILE INCARCERATED
POPULATIONS THIS PROCESS
GENERALLY RESULTS IN A WELL
NEGOTIATED AN ACHIEVABLE
STANDARDS THAT ARE SUBJECT
TO SCRUTINY AND THE REVIEW
OF EXPERTS -- AND THOSE WILL
BE ASKED TO IMPLEMENT THOSE
STANDARDS STATUTORILY SETTING
THE STANDARDS INTERFERES IN
THIS PROCESS AND PRECLUDES TO
BE SEC AND THOSE OVERSEAS FROM

NECESSARY FOR THOSE REASONS
WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
NO VOTE THANK THANK YOU ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES HERE IN
A ROOM IN OPPOSITION JINAN
LET'S GO TO OUR MY MODERATOR
-- GOT OUR PHONE LINES TWO
THIRDS WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
AND OPPOSITION OF AB TWO SIX
EIGHT TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OR OPPOSITION OF AB TWO SIX
EIGHT PLEASE PRESS ONE ZERO
AND EFFECTIVE CARE WE HAVE
NO COMMENTS WHO BRING BREXIT
COMMITTEE HAZARD AND FOR THE
DESCRIPTION OF THE BREAD ON
THE SIDE SENATOR DOLE BALK
HELLO AND WELCOME AND DR
WEBBER GRATEFUL TO HAVE YOU
HERE AND AS YOU KNOW I'M A
HUGE FAN -- GRAFFIN NOT DOCTOR
REVERSE TO REMEMBER -- SO I
AM IN SUPPORT OF THE PRINCIPLE
OF WHAT YOU HAVE HERE -- IN
THE BILL HOWEVER I DO HAVE
A QUESTION WITH REGARDS TO
CURRENTLY THE CURRENT MEMBER
AND WHAT THE GOVERNOR -- STATED
IN HIS VETO MESSAGE SO TO TWO
ITEMS ONE I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHETHER OR
NOT YOU DID ANYTHING WITHIN
THIS BILL TO ACCOMMODATE THE
CONCERNS THE GOVERNOR HAD THE
NUMBER TWO IF THERE WAS ANY
CONSIDERATION AND -- -- HAVING
THIS -- THESE ROLES BE FILLED
WITH THE CURRENT THIRTEEN
MEMBER -- BOARD RIGHT NOW
INCLUDING THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
-- AS ONE OF THE THE MEMBERS
HERE A COMMUNITY PROVIDER OF
REHABILITATION TREATMENT OR
SERVICES TO ADULT OFFENDERS
APPOINTED BY THE SPEAKER OF THE
ASSEMBLY NUMBER TWO THERE'S A
COMMUNITY PROVIDER OR ADVOCATE
WITH EXPERTISE IN EFFECTIVE
PROGRAMS POLICIES AND TREATMENT
OF A -- AT PROMISE YOUTH IN
JUVENILE OFFENDERS -- AND
THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ONE HERE
POINT FOR THE GOVERNOR SUBJECT
TO SENATE CONFIRMATION SO I
WAS JUST KIND OF WONDERING IS
THERE ANY CAPACITY WITHIN THIS
THIRTEEN CURRENT BOARD TO BE
ABLE TO FILL THESE POSITIONS
NUMBER TWO -- DID YOU DO
ANYTHING WITHIN THE BILL TO
ACCOMMODATE THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
VETO MESSAGE RIGHT THANK YOU
-- SENATORS SO MUCH FOR THOSE
QUESTIONS -- WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE VERY CLOSELY EVER SINCE
HE DECIDED TO VETO IT -- AND
-- AND SO ACTUALLY WITH THE
ADDITION OF THE SECRETARY OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES THAT
WAS ACTUALLY REQUEST FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE SO INITIALLY
THE BILL SAID A SPECIFIC
MEDICAL PROVIDER AND A SEPARATE
-- MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER AND
WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE THEY ACTUALLY REQUESTED
THAT IT BE THE HEALTH AND
HUMAN SERVICES SECRETARY OR
THEIR DESIGNEES WHO WOULD BE
A -- MEDICAL HEALTH PROVIDER
IF THAT THE SECRETARY OF HUMAN
HEALTH SERVICES WOULD NOT
ABLE TO OPT TO FILL THAT ROLE
SO YES WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM TO
ALLAY HIS CONCERNS AND ALSO
TO EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF
HAVING SOMEONE WITH A MEDICAL
BACKGROUND ACTUAL MEDICAL
PROVIDER TO DEAL WITH MEDICAL
ISSUES AND MAKE SURE THAT THE
STANDARDS SO IF SOMEONE COMES
IN WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
DIABETES SEIZURES THEY HAVE A
PROTOCOL THAT IS AN EVIDENCE
BASED AND MEDICALLY JUSTIFIED
TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE PEOPLE
BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT
OF PEOPLE INCARCERATED WITH
MEDICAL ISSUES AT THE SAME
TIME WE ALSO HAVE -- A GOOD
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES -- YOUR
SCHIZOPHRENIA YOU'RE BIPOLAR
YOUR DEPRESSION OR ANXIETY
SO YOU NEED SOMEONE -- ON THE
BOARD WHO HAS EXPERTISE IN THAT
AS WELL I AM A PHYSICIAN I'M AN
OBGYN I DO NOT DO MENTAL HEALTH
ME TRYING TO BE THE EXPERT
-- AND TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT
WHAT YOU HAVE IS EVIDENCE BASED
WOULD NOT REALLY WORK WELL IF
I WAS COVERING BOTH ROLES AND
SO HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE THEY DO
RECOGNIZE NOW THAT -- IT IS
IMPORTANT TO HAVE TWO SEPARATE
ONES AND YOU KNOW LOOKING OUT
OVER THERE THAT THE CONTENT OF
THE CURRENT MAKE UP OF THE VACC
I WOULD BE FINE WITH REMOVING
SOME OF THOSE WHO ARE IN PUBLIC
IT FOR CEMENT OR -- BECAUSE
THERE'S A LOT OF THEM THERE
BUT THE ONES THAT YOU MENTIONED
LIKE THE COMMUNITY OFFICERS AT
THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT WORK
IN SOME OF THESE BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH CLINICS OR THE JUVENILE
SERVICES THEY HAVE A SPECIALTY
WHICH IS SEPARATE THAT MESS
IN THE MEDICAL PROFESSION
AS WELL SO THERE IS A LOT OF
DUPLICATION ON THE BSE SEE
WITH AND THOSE WITH AND THE
-- POLICE DEPARTMENT OR THE
ENFORCEMENT AREA -- BUT THE
ONES THAT ARE THERE THAT NOT
IN THAT AREA THEY ARE VERY
SPECIFIC TO -- ADDRESSING
CERTAIN NEEDS WITH N.
UNFORTUNATELY THE INCARCERATED
COMMUNITY BUT WHAT IS NOT THERE
ARE THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERTISE
IN MEDICAL -- AT HISTORY NOR IN
MENTAL HEALTH AND UNFORTUNATELY
WE HAVE A LOT OF INCARCERATED
PEOPLE WHO HAD MEDICAL ISSUES
AND MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
AND OUT WHAT YOU'RE NOTICING
IS THAT THEIR INTAKE IS NOT
ADEQUATE AND THESE PEOPLE
ARE COMING IN AND DYING EVEN
BEFORE THEY'RE CONVICTED
JUST AS A FOLLOW UP AND THROUGH
THE CHAIR AND SO IN OTHER
WORDS YOU TO EITHER CONSIDER
REMOVING TO AB MEMBERS IN
THE -- IN THE CURRENT IN THE
CURRENT BOARD MEMBER I'M JUST
TRYING TO FOR THE OPPOSITION
SAKE I'M TRYING TO JUST
EXPLAIN THE TWO SENATORS AND
THE OPTIONS THAT WE COULD HAVE
IS EITHER -- REMOVE SOME OF
THE INDIVIDUALS WITH THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT BACKGROUND -- IN
ORDER TO FILL THESE TWO OR
ADD TWO ADDITIONAL MEMBERS
TO THE BOARD TO MEET THOSE
SPECIFIC OUT TO PASS THESE IN
THE BILL IN THE FINAL REMARK
THAT I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE I
WILL BE SUPPORTING YOUR YOUR
BILL TODAY THE ONLY OTHER --
POSITION THAT I WOULD I WOULD
PUT ON RECORD OUR PLACE AND
RECORD IS THE FACT THAT -- AND
AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY
DETERMINES THE DIFFICULTY OF
GETTING EVERYBODY TOGETHER
AND CONDUCTING THE BUSINESS
THAT WAS MENTIONED IN THE VETO
MESSAGE FOR THE GOVERNOR BUT
THE ONLY CONCERN I WOULD HAVE
WITH ADDING TWO ADDITIONAL
MEMBERS WOULD BE THE FACT THAT
IT WOULD IT WOULD CONTINUE
THAT THAT THOUGHT PROCESS THAT
IT WOULD MAKE IT DIFFICULT
TO CONDUCT THE TO PROMOTE
AND CONDUCT THE BUSINESS OF
THE BOARD AND THAT'S MY FINAL
THOUGHTS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR CARRYING THE BILL THANK YOU
MISTER -- THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME ASSEMBLY MEMBER
APPRECIATES YOUR -- WORKING
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION'S
CONCERNS AND I THINK THE BILL
IS -- MAKES A GREAT DEAL OF
SENSE AND ARE MOVING THANK YOU
THANK YOU WE HAVE A MOTION BY
SEN SKINNER WE HAVE A TO PASS
TO APPROPRIATIONS DR WHICH LIKE
CLOSE YES -- THANK YOU SO MUCH
-- THERE IS DEFINITELY A CRISIS
OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE DYING
BEHIND OUR BARS AB TWO SIXTY
EIGHT AND MY OPINION IS REALLY
A SIMPLE BILL IT TAKES WHAT OUR
STATE AUDITOR RECOMMENDED SO
THAT WE CAN IMPROVE THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY -- OF THOSE WHO ARE
IN OUR CARE -- AND MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE ON THE BSE
SEE WHO HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND
EXPERTISE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
OUR STANDARDS OUR REGULATIONS
WHEN THESE INDIVIDUALS COME AND
OUR -- EVIDENCE BASED SO THAT
WE WILL HAVE A DECREASE IN OUR
DESK BEHIND -- RIDER GELS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
THANK YOU THANK YOU WHICH MEANT
A SINNER SCANNERS CONSULTANT
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ITEM TEN
AB TWO SIXTY EIGHT MOTIONS

BRADFORD BRADFORD OHIO TO
ABOUT TWO ABOUT AYE SKINNER
AYE SKINNER AYE WELL FIVE
YEARS THAT MEASURES OUT
WILL LIBERAL OPEN FOR ABSENT
MEMBERS AND NOW WE'LL MOVE
ON TO YOUR SECOND ITEM -- AB
FIFTEEN EIGHTY FOUR THANK YOU
GOOD MORNING OKAY I'M HERE TO
PRESENT AB FIFTEEN EIGHTY FOR
A BILL THAT WORLD MODERNIZE
THE STATE'S COMPETENCY TO
STAND TRIAL PROCESS CURRENTLY
IF AN INDIVIDUAL IS FACING
CHARGES THEY CANNOT BE TRIED
OR CONVICTED WHILE THEY
ARE INCOMPETENT IF A DOUBT
IS RAISED ON A DEFENDANT'S
COMPETENCY THE COURSE MONTHS
SUSPENDED CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
AND SET A TRIAL TO DETERMINE
WHETHER THE DEFENDANT IS
COMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL AND
CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS MAY NOT
RESUME UNLESS AND UNTIL A
PERSON IS FOUND COMPETENT WHEN
SOMEONE IS DETERMINED TO BE
INCOMPETENT AND A FELONY CASE
THE JUDGE HAS NO CHOICE BUT
TO COMMIT THAT PERSON TO THE
STATE HOSPITAL FOR RESTORATION
EVEN IF OTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS
WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE LIKE
COMMUNITY BASED TREATMENT
DIVERSION OR CONSERVATORSHIP
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOUND
INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL IN
CALIFORNIA HAS FAR OUTPACED
THE STATE'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE
TIMELY SERVICE AND RESPONSE THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS
PROJECTED THAT AS OF JUNE
THIRTIETH TWENTY TWENTY THREE
THE WAIT LISTS FOR COMPETENCY
RESTORATION WILL EXCEED ONE
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED PERSONS
AS A RESULT PEOPLE MAY WAIT
MONTHS IN JAIL BEFORE THEY
ARE PLACED IN A RESTORATION
PROGRAM MOST TOUR FOUND
INCOMPETENT AND THEN RESTORED
TO COMPETENCY OFTEN CYCLE BACK
THROUGH THE VERY SAME PROCESS
THEY ARE RELEASED TO THE SAME
CONDITIONS THAT LED TO THEIR
INCARCERATION MANAGING SYMPTOMS
OF SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS
WITHOUT HOUSING TREATMENT OR
SUPPORT FOR THESE REASONS AB
FIFTEEN EIGHTY FOUR DOES THE
FOLLOWING PROVIDES JUDGES
WITH THE DISCRETION TO REFER
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN FOUND
INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL TO
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT WHEN
RESTORATION TO COMPENSATE
SINGH IS NOT IN THE INTEREST
OF JUSTICE IF REQUESTED BY
THE DEFENSE REQUIRES THE COURT
APPOINTED MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS
TO EVALUATE WHETHER A PERSON
FOUND INCOMPETENT TO STAND
TRIAL IS ELIGIBLE AND SUITABLE
FOR MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION
REQUIRES A COURT APPOINTED
MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS TO RETURN
COMPETENCY EVALUATIONS WITHIN
THIRTY DAYS ABSENT GOOD CAUSE
FOR AN EXTENSION AND FINALLY
THE BILL REQUIRES ANY HEARING
FOR MENTAL HEALTH DIVERSION TO
TAKE PLACE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS
OF A FINDING OF INCOMPETENCY
WE RECENTLY AMENDED THIS BILL
TO ADDRESS CONCERNS RAISED BY
STAKEHOLDERS IT MENTAL HEALTH
DIVERSION IS NOT SUCCESSFUL AN
INDIVIDUAL CAN BE REFERRED BACK
TO THE COMPETENCY RESTORATION
PROCESS THE GOAL OF AB FIFTEEN
EIGHTY FORCE TO PROMOTE
SPEEDY ACCESS TO TREATMENT
FOR THE SEVERELY AND ACUTELY
ILL INDIVIDUALS REDUCE COURTS
AND COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY
COSTS AND INCREASED ADDITIONAL
EFFICIENCY BY LIMITING THE
SETTING OF UNNECESSARY JURY
TRIALS THIS BILL IS SPONSORED
BY THE ACLU AND THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC DEFENDERS ASSOCIATION
AND HERE TO TESTIFY WITH ME

CAN BE PROSECUTED FOR REFUSING
TO LEAVE A BOOKSTORE WHILE IN
A MENTAL CRISIS THE CURRENT
SYSTEM PROVIDES NO OTHER OPTION
IN THE PAST FIVE MONTHS I'VE

HELPLESS IS CAUGHT IN THE
SPOKES OF THE CRIMINAL SYSTEM
A SYSTEM WE CALL JUSTICE HE

FEAR FIVE MONTHS IN A CELL
AND NO EXPLANATION THAT HE
CAN UNDERSTAND HE COMPENSATES
EVEN IF THEY WERE TO ACHIEVE
COMPETENCY WHERE IS THE
JUSTICE AND PROSECUTING

SAFETY INTEREST AND FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY THANK

WITNESS THANK YOU GOOD MORNING
CHAIR COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS STEPHANIE REGULAR I'M A
BOARD MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC DEFENDER ASSOCIATION
PROUD CO SPONSOR OF AB FIFTEEN
EIGHTY FOUR I HAVE ALSO BEEN
A PUBLIC DEFENDER FOR TWENTY
TWO YEARS AND HAVE REPRESENTED
CLIENTS SPECIFICALLY RELATED
TO COMPETENCY TO STAND TRIAL
FOR THE PAST TWELVE YEARS
AND IN THE PAST TWELVE YEARS
THAT I'VE BEEN DOING THIS
WORK SPECIFICALLY RELATED
TO COMPETENCY THERE'VE ONLY
BEEN A HANDFUL OF CASES WHERE
I'VE ACTUALLY SEED SCENE
THE COMPETENCY RESTORATION
PROCESS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN
MY CLIENT'S LIFE WHERE THAT
BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME THAT THEY
SPENT IN THE HOSPITAL HAS BEEN
ENOUGH TO PROVIDE STABILITY
SO THAT THEY COULD RETURN TO A
STABLE HEALTHY -- LIFE OUTSIDE
OF JAIL THOSE CASES ARE THE
EXCEPTION MOST OF MY CLIENTS
SPEND MONTHS IN A JAIL CELL
THEY THEN GO TO THE HOSPITAL
FOR A FEW MONTHS -- TERRACE
THE BASIC INFORMATION REGARDING
COURT THE COURT PROCESS THEY
THEN RETURNED TO A JAIL CELL
AND -- ALTERNATELY RELEASED
TO THE STREET TO RETURN THE
SAME CYCLE AGAIN THERE'S SOME
CLIENTS WHO HAVE REPRESENTED
FOR YEARS AND EACH TIME THEY
COME BACK INTO JAIL AGAIN AND
AGAIN THEY BECOME MORE AND
MORE UNRECOGNIZABLE FROM THE
PERSON WHO I REPRESENTED YEARS
AGO IT DEBILITATING -- NATURE
OF THEIR MENTAL ILLNESSES TURN
THEM INTO SOMETHING THAT OUR
SYSTEM A PERSON THAT I CAN
BARELY EVEN RECOGNIZE ANYMORE
AB FIFTEEN EIGHTY FOUR
CREATES PATHWAYS TO ACTUAL
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND
CONTINUITY OF CARE THAT CANNOT
BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH OUR
EXISTING COMPETENCY RESTORATION
PROCESS THIS BILL DOES NOT
REMOVE THE COURT'S ABILITY TO
REFER SOMEBODY FOR RESTORATION
AND ULTIMATELY FOR PROSECUTION
IT DOESN'T DO THAT BUT WHAT
IT DOES DO IS THAT FOR THOSE
CASES WHERE IT SERVES NO
ONE'S INTEREST TO RESTORE THE
PERSON AND TO PROSECUTE THAT
MENTALLY ILL PERSON IT PROVIDES
PATHWAYS TO ACTUAL TREATMENT
IT PROVIDES THE ABILITY FOR
COURTS GIVEN THE DISCRETION
TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE
IN THAT PERSON'S LIFE FOR
THESE REASONS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AND I THOUGHT THANK

CHAIRMAN CORSO'S ALONG TO HAVE
THE CALIFORNIA STATE SHERIFFS
ASSOCIATION OPPOSITION MAYBE
FIFTEEN EIGHTY FOUR -- THIS
BILL DOES NOT NECESSARILY
TAKE AWAY JUDICIAL DISCRETION
EXCEPT FOR A CIRCUMSTANCE IN
WHICH THE COURT FINDS THAT
IT'S NOT IN THE INTEREST OF
JUSTICE TO RESTORE THE PERSON
IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE WHEN A
COURT MAKES THAT FINDING THE
JUDGE HAS TWO OPTIONS FOR
THAT PERSON TO DIVERSION COURT
DISMISSED THE CHARGES AGAINST
THE PERSON THAT'S THE BILL THE
FINDING THAT A PERSON IS NOT
MENTALLY COMPETENT TO STAND
TRIAL IS ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT
THE PERSON'S NOT CURRENTLY
ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE CHARGES
THEY FACE AND NOT BE ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE AND PRESENTING
THEIR DEFENSE IT'S NOT A
QUESTION OF WHETHER OR NOT
THE PERSON IS MENTALLY ILL
WHETHER OR NOT THE MENTAL
ILLNESS CONTRIBUTED TO THE
STATE OF MIND THAT LET THE
PERSON TO ALLEGEDLY COMMIT
THE CRIME THAT THEY'RE ACCUSED
OF MANY DEFENDANTS WERE FOUND
COMPENSATION TRUST CAN BE
RESTORED TO COMPETENCY OFTEN
SIMPLY BY RESUMING PREVIOUSLY
SEIZED MEDICATION SOME CANNOT
BUT THE RIVER DETERMINATION
OF COMPETENCY AGAIN IS IS TIED
TO WHETHER OR NOT THE PERSON
UNDERSTANDS THE PROCEEDINGS
AGAINST THEM BUT TEMPORARY
INABILITY TO FULLY PARTICIPATE
IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS SHOULD
NOT BE A COMPLETE OFFRAMP
TO ACCOUNTABILITY BUT THAT'S
WHAT AB FIFTEEN EIGHTY FOUR
PROVIDES BY ALLOWING JUDGES TO
SEND A PERSON TO DIVERSION OR
DISMISSED CHARGES ALL TOGETHER
AS OF JUNE TWENTY SIX THE
WAIT LIST FOR PERSONS PENDING
PLACEMENT FOR THIRTEEN SEVENTY
IS TO TREATMENT FOR THE STATE
HOSPITALS WAS EIGHT HUNDRED
NINETY FOUR THAT NUMBER IS DOWN
FROM A HIGH WATER MARK DURING
COVERT OF OVER TWO THOUSAND
THE DEPARTMENT HAS DONE QUITE
A LOT IN THE WAY OF COMMUNITY
RESTORATION DIVERSION MORE
JOB IS COMPETENCY TREATMENT
PROGRAMS AND THEY'RE GETTING
THAT WE LIST DOWN WE'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE PUBLIC
SAFETY IMPACT OF CREATING THIS
OFFRAMP FOR CULPABILITY AND
WITH US YOU KNOW OF THANK YOU
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS GOOD
MORNING CHAIR MEMBERS KIM STONE
A STONE ADVOCACY ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION AND VERY
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION THERE'S
A LOT THAT THE AUTHOR AND
THE SUPPORTERS SAID THAT THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S AND AGREE
WITH WE ABSOLUTELY RECOGNIZE
THE -- WAITLIST AND LENGTH OF
DELAYS AT THE STATE HOSPITAL
AND ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT TOO THE -- INCOMPETENT
TO STAND TRIAL SOLUTIONS
WORKING GROUP MADE A REPORT
OF RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS IN
NOVEMBER OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE
WHERE THE STATE HOSPITAL DID
SAY THAT SIXTY OVER SIXTY SIX
PERCENT OF THE DEFENDANTS WHO
WERE INITIALLY FOUND TO BE
INCOMPETENT WERE ABLE TO HAVE
THEIR COMPETENCY RESTORED AND
WE HAVE SEEN -- AN INCREASE
IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE FOUND
TO BE INCOMPETENT TO STAND
TRIAL OVER THE LAST DECADE
AND IT IS TRUE CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE TIMELY
SERVICES TO THESE INDIVIDUALS
AND THEY DESERVE IT AND WE
SHOULD WE SHOULD DO SO -- WE
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT REMOVING
THE PROSECUTORS ABILITY TO
SEEK A JURY TRIAL ON THE ISSUE
OF COMPETENCY AND -- WE ARE
CONCERNED WITH THE POSSIBILITY
OF DISMISSING THE CASE AGAINST
THE PERSON AND NOT PROVIDING
THEM WITH ANY TREATMENT SO
THE CASE GOES AWAY AND THERE'S
NO TREATMENT TO THEM THAT
IS REALLY NOT IDEAL FOR THE
DEFENDANT AND NOT IDEAL FOR
THE VICTIMS FOR THOSE REASONS
WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THANK
YOU THANK YOU IN ADDITION
A WITNESS PLEASE STATE YOUR
NAME IN YOUR ORGANIZATION

AND WE HAVE NO FURTHER
COMMENTS AT THIS TIME WE'RE
GONNA BRING DISCUSSION BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE ARE THERE
ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
IN REGARDS TO THE SMITH
CENTER TOLD VOCAL AND YES SO
I I I FEEL FOR THEM ON THAT
SPOKE TODAY -- WHO IT IS WITH
REGARD TO HER HUSBAND TO HER
SON AND I JUST WANTED TO --
WHEN LOOKING AT THE ISSUE AT
HAND I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY I CARRIED A BILL
WITH REGARDS TO INCREASING
FUNDING AND EXPAND THE CAPACITY
FOR HOMELESS AND MENTAL
HEALTH COURT BECAUSE THEY'VE
BEEN ACTUALLY VERY HELPFUL
IN -- IN ADDRESSING SOME OF
THE ISSUES THAT I'VE LEARNED
SINCE BEING ON PUBLIC SAFETY
WHICH IS THE FACT THAT WE'RE
INCARCERATING MANY PEOPLE THAT
SHOULD NOT INCARCERATED EITHER
IT'S BECAUSE OF THE HOMELESS
SITUATIONS THAT BY THEMSELVES
OR BECAUSE OF A MENTAL HEALTH
-- AND THEIR BEHAVIOR HEALTH
-- ON THAT AND WHICH IS WHY
I AUTHORED THOSE BILLS AND
UNFORTUNATELY THEY THEY DIED M.
THANK IT AS IT BUT I THINK ONE
OF THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT
WE HAVE -- AND THE PROBLEMS WE
HAVE IS ONE WE DON'T HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHEN IT
COMES TO ADD PEOPLE SUFFERING
FROM BEHAVIOR HEALTH AND WE
HAVE TO DO A BETTER JOB WHICH
IS WHY AM I WAS SUPPORTIVE
OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER MURATSUCHI
SPELL -- WELL THAT HAS TO DO
WITH BASICALLY HOMELESS BUT
WITH THE COMPONENT OF MENTAL
HEALTH AND SO SUPPORTIVE IN
ON INOTES AND A LOT OF THOSE
MEASURES -- BUT IN THAT BUT IN
REALITY I THINK I THINK I DON'T
I I SHARE THE CONCERNS THAT
WE HAD BY OUR LEAD OPPOSITION
WITNESSES -- IN THAT AND AND
I AND I THINK THAT THE ANGLE
IN WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THIS IS ACTUALLY HELPING EXPAND
THE BED CAPACITY -- THE HEALTH
CARE WORKERS WITHIN THAT SPACE
THAT WE DESPERATELY NEED IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE
HAVE A SHORT SUPPLY OF AND
-- INCREASING THE JUDGES
THAT WE NEED IN ORDER TO MAKE
SURE THAT THESE COURTS ARE --
AVAILABLE TO TWO PEOPLE AHEAD
IN -- IN THIS AREA -- I THINK
IT'S AS OVERALL AS A STATE
WERE SUFFERING FROM BEHAVIOR
HEALTH WHICH IS WHY TAKE A
HUGE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
THE WAY THAT I HI -- I
EXPRESS MYSELF -- AS THE IN
ELECTED AS A LEADER IN THE
CITY CALIFORNIA Y.
A I TRY TO MODEL BUT WE
WILL WE NEED TO SEE WE DON'T
EXASPERATED WHEN TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAVE THE RESOURCES AN
ADVOCATE FOR THOSE THAT ARE
SUFFERING -- BOTH IN IN -- IN
PUBLIC VIEW AND MANY OF THOSE
WERE SUFFERING PRIVATELY --
I WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT
YOUR BILL TODAY BUT I DO
WANT THE PUBLIC TO KNOW
THAT WE ARE WORKING IN
OTHER AREAS TO ENSURE THAT
WE HAVE THE RESOURCES AND
THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO MEET
THE NEEDS OF OF MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN CALIFORNIA
SUFFERED FROM BEHAVIOR HEALTH
THANK YOU SENATOR -- FOR
THOSE COMMENTS AND -- BEFORE
I RESPOND I DO ALSO WANT TO
THANK MY WITNESS -- MRS MRS
SHELLEY LAND FOR FLYING ALL
THE WAY UP HERE FROM SAN
DIEGO TO TESTIFY HERE AND BE
SO OPEN AND HONEST ABOUT WHAT
MANY PEOPLE WOULD KEEP PRIVATE
-- BUT IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT WE ARE ALL ABLE TO HEAR
YOUR STORY BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT
ALONE AND UNFORTUNATELY YOUR
STORY IS NOT UNIQUE AND THIS
BILL IS AIMING TO PROVIDE
OTHER MOTHERS AND FATHERS AND
SISTERS AND BROTHERS AND AND
CHILDREN FROM EXPERIENCING
WHAT YOU'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT
NOW SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
FOR THAT -- AND AND SENATOR
A TROUBLE YOU ARE RIGHT WE AS
A STATE ARE FAILING AND ARE
I EVALUATION AND TREATMENT
AND MANAGEMENT OF BEHAVIOR
HEALTH AND UNFORTUNATELY --
THE CURRENT METHOD THAT WE HAVE
WITHIN OUR INCARCERATED SYSTEM
IS ALSO ANOTHER FAILURE IT'S
NOT JUST ABOUT EXPANDING BAD
YES YOU KNOW -- THE ESTIMATE
WAS THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE
ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED BUT
I GUESS THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY
NINE HUNDRED IT SHOULD BE ZERO
RIGHT -- SO THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST WAITING
IN JAIL FOR PLACEMENT INTO A
A HOSPITAL FACILITY A HOSPITAL
BED THE REALITY IS IS THAT THAT
IS A BANDAID BECAUSE YOU KNOW
MORE THAN SEVENTY PEOPLE WHO
GO THROUGH THIS RESTORATION
SEVENTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO
GO THROUGH THIS RESTORATION
PROCESS ARE RE ARRESTED UPON
RELEASE WHEN YOU LOOK AT A
TEN YEAR PERIOD MORE THAN A
THIRD OF PEOPLE WHO ARE FOUND
COMPETENT ARE RE ARRESTED AGAIN
AND FOUND INCOMPETENT AGAIN SO
EVEN THOUGH EVEN IF YOU BUILD
MORE HOSPITAL BEDS ARE MORE
HOSPITALS THAT IN ITSELF IS NOT
THE ANSWER BECAUSE ONCE THEY
ARE RELEASED THEIR FOUNDING
COMPETENT WORK THERE GIVEN THE
MEDICATIONS THAT PROPPED UP
THERE READY TO GO BACK IN FRONT
OF A JUDGE AND NOW YOU'RE IN
NOW YOU'RE COMPETENT TO STAND
TRIAL THEY QUICKLY SPIRAL OUT
BACK INTO THAT INCOMPETENCY
STATE AGAIN AND SO THAT'S THE
THING ABOUT ALLOWING A JUDGE
TO HAVE DISCRETION TO USE SOME
OF THESE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT
HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO WORK LONG
TERM AND NOT JUST A BANDAID
TO ACTUALLY FIX THE SUIT THE
PROBLEM LONG TERM SO -- THAT
IS WHAT THIS BILL DOES --
I REALLY APPRECIATE -- THE
STAFF ANY AND ALL OF HER WORK
-- ON THIS BILL -- YOU KNOW
SHE IN THIS AREA I CONSIDERED
TO BE THE EXPERT BECAUSE SHE
HAS BEEN DOING AND SHE'S BEEN
SAYING THESE PATIENTS I SEE
PATIENTS THAT INDIVIDUALS
-- AND SHE SAID CYCLING OVER
AND OVER AGAIN AND SO WHAT
WE HAVE WHAT ARE OPPOSITION
WOULD LIKE TO MAINTAIN IS NOT
WORKING AND BUILDING MORE BEDS
UNFORTUNATELY WILL NOT FIX THE
THE OVERALL PROBLEM SO WITH
THAT I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
YOU KNOW OUR RESPECT TO --
BUT I I RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL
ALL RIGHT WE'RE SEEKING
A MOTION ON THIS MEASURE
WE HAVE A DO PASS
APPROPRIATIONS RECOMMENDATION

MEDIA COMPANIES OPERATING IN
CALIFORNIA I'M AND LET ME START
BY PROVIDING SOME CONTEXT FOR
THE BELL AND THE ISSUE THAT
WE ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS WITH
EIGHTY TEN TWENTY SEVEN WHICH
IS THE FINANCIAL CRISIS AND
SPECIFICALLY THE PROLIFERATION
OF FUNCTIONAL TRAFFICKING
ONLINE IS YOU FIVE DIFFERENT
NUMBERS WELL NO FENTANYL
IS THE MOST DANGEROUS AND
DEADLY SUBSTANCE IN THE WORLD
CIRCULATING ON THE ILLEGAL
DRUG MARKET TODAY I JUST TWO
MILLIGRAMS THAT'S TWO GRAINS
OF SAND IS A NAFTA CAL AND IN
RECENT YEARS CONTROL RELATED
DEATHS HAVE SKYROCKETED HERE
IN CALIFORNIA SEVENTEEN PEOPLE
DIED EACH AND EVERY DAY BECAUSE
OF FENTANYL POISONING AND DAD
TWO DISTURBING TRENDS HAVE
REALLY DRAMATICALLY INCREASE
THE DANGERS OF SENTINEL ON
NUMBER ONE IS THAT SENTINEL
TODAY IS IN EVERY IS EVERYWHERE
AND IN EVERYTHING IT'S LEAST
INTO STREET DRUGS AND IT'S ALSO
IN COUNTERFEIT PRESCRIPTION
DRUGS THAT ARE SOLD AS THE
ANNEX OXYCODONE PERCOCET AND Q.
FENTANYL IS BEING TRAFFICKED
ON SOCIAL MEDIA SITES SO THE
TWENTY THREE DEALERS AREN'T
LURKING IN DARK PARKING LOTS
ARE REMOTE STREET CORNERS
THERE ON SITES LIKE INSTAGRAM
INCIDENTS NOT CHAD TARGETING
OUR KIDS ON WHAT THE U.

MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES ON BOTH
THE ASSEMBLY AND THE SENATE
SIDE WE ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP
A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO
COMBAT THE FUNCTIONAL CRISIS
IN CALIFORNIA AND MAYBE TEN
TWENTY SEVEN IS ONE PART OF
THAT STRATEGY AB TEN TWENTY
SEVEN WILL STRENGTHEN REPORTING
AND RETENTION REQUIREMENTS
FOR SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES
SPECIFICALLY THE BILL WILL
REQUIRE UPDATES TO POLICY
STATEMENTS REGARDING DRUG
RELATED OFFENSES IT WILL
REQUIRE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
TO RETAIN FOR NINETY DAYS DATA
ON ACCOUNTS THAT ARE REMOVED
FOR VIOLATION OF THE PLATFORM'S
POLICIES THAT PROHIBITS THE
DISTRIBUTION OF DRUGS -- AND
ESTABLISH A DEDICATED POINT
OF CONTACT IN THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL'S OFFICE TO MANAGE
PROACTIVE REPORTS RELATED
SPECIFICALLY TO TOPIC IN
ACTIVITY THERE IS A NEED AND
I THINK ARE REALLY IMPORTANT
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOCIAL MEDIA
COMPANIES TO ASSUME A LARGER
ROLE IN COMBATING THE ONLINE
TRAFFICKING OF ILLICIT DRUGS
THAT ARE OCCURRING ON THEIR
PLATFORMS AND SO I'M GRATEFUL
FOR THE PARTNERSHIP THAT WE
HAVE HAD WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

THEIR CONTINUED DIALOGUE AND
COLLABORATION ON THIS BILL AND

A SIGNIFICANT STEP TOWARD
STRENGTHENING COOPERATION
BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS IF I
ONLINE DRUG TRAFFICKING IN
FENTANYL OVERDOSES OUR SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORMS RECOGNIZE THEIR
ROLE IN CURBING THIS KIND OF
ACTIVITY ON OUR PLATFORMS AND
THEY TAKE AGGRESSIVE ACTION TO
IDENTIFY AND REMOVE AND BLOCK
CONTENT ACCOUNTS ATTEMPT TO
EXPLOIT THESE PLATFORMS AND
THEIR USERS AB TEN TWENTY SEVEN
WILL HELP LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
PROSECUTORS AS THEY WORK TO
IDENTIFY AND CATCH DRUG DEALERS
IT REQUIRES PLATFORMS RETAIN
INFORMATION RELATED TO LEGAL
ACTIVITY THAT VIOLATES THE
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES POLICIES
TO BE CLEAR AT THIS BILL DOES
NOT FORCE PLATFORMS TO HAND
OVER THIS INFORMATION REMAINS
UNDER THE PLATFORMS CONTROL
LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD STILL
UNDER CAL ECPA BE REQUIRED
TO OBTAIN A SEARCH WARRANT IN
ORDER TO ACCESS ANY RETAINED
INFORMATION THIS BILL ALSO
CREATES A CLEAR AND DOESN'T
A POINT OF CONTACT WITH AN
APARTMENT JUSTICE WERE BOUGHT
FROM CONSUMER REPORTS BUT
CONTACT WERE ACTIVE -- ACCOUNTS

HIS SKATEBOARD GAMING SCOUTING
AND MEETING UP WITH HIS FRIENDS
WAS PRETTY NORMAL IN THOSE
REGARDS A SKINNY FOURTEEN YEAR
OLD YOUNG MAN WITH HIGH SCHOOL
JUST OVER THE HORIZON EARLIER
ALEX HAD STARTED SPRINTING WITH
CANNABIS AS PARENTS WE THOUGHT
WE WERE PREPARED TO HELP HIM
THROUGH THIS EXPERIMENTAL PHASE
WITHIN SNAPCHAT INSTANCE NOT
ENTERED THE PICTURE WE KNEW
THE BASICS OF SNAPCHAT AND
DID OUR BEST TAUGHT ALEX'S
ONLINE BEHAVIOR BUT WE DIDN'T
KNOW IS THAT HE HAD CONNECTED
WITH ILLICIT DRUG DEALERS ON
SNAPCHAT WHO LIED AND PERSUADED
ALEX TO TRY OTHER DRUGS
THAT WERE MARKETED TO BE OXY
COTTON'S ANTICS IN THE LAST TEN
DAYS OF HIS LIFE ALEX STARTED
TRACKING THESE DRUGS BECAUSE
HE WAS CONVINCED THEY WERE SAFE
IT TURNS OUT AS WE ALL KNOW
NOW THAT NO LICIT DRUGS ARE
SAFE FROM THESE PLACES THEY
DON'T NOW CONTAIN FENTANYL
METHAMPHETAMINES OR SOME OTHER
DEADLY SUBSTANCE THAT COULD BE
PRESSED TO LOOK LIKE LEGITIMATE
PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE PILLS OR
MIXED WITH OTHER THINGS LIKE
COCAINE AND HEROIN WE DIDN'T
FIND OUT ABOUT ANY OF THIS
UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE NOT TENS
AND THOUSANDS ARE DYING EACH
YEAR FROM THE SAME COMBINATION
SOCIAL MEDIA AND ILLICIT DRUGS
SNAPCHAT IS THE MAIN METHOD
FOR OUR YOUNGER GENERATIONS TO
COMMUNICATE AND IS THERE FOR
RIGHT WITH PREDATORS TO SLEEP
DRUGS FOR CHILD ABUSE MATERIALS
EXTORT PEOPLE ENCOURAGE SUICIDE
AND MUCH MUCH MORE WITH THIS
LANDSCAPE IN MIND IT SEEMS
LIKE A SMALL REQUEST TO HAVE
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES ASSIST
LAW ENFORCEMENT CRIMES OCCUR
IN PEOPLE DIE ON THE PLATFORMS
TWO KEY POINTS OF AB TEN TWENTY
SEVEN WILL REQUIRE MOTOR SOCIAL
MEDIA COMPANIES TO CLEARLY POSE
THEIR POLICY ON ILLICIT DRUG
SALES IN THEIR SERVICE TERMS
INCLUDING HOW LONG THEY KEEP
THE DATA ON THOSE ACCOUNTS
REQUIRES A SOCIAL MEDIA
COMPANY TO RETAIN FOR NINETY
DAYS INFORMATION ON CONTENT
THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN THAT
VIOLATES THEIR SERVICE TERMS
A LITTLE SMALL BUT IMPORTANT
STEP TOWARDS KEEPING OUR KIDS

BE SAVED MISTER SWIFT AND

IMPORTANCE ON PROTECTING THE
PRIVACY AND CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS OF CALIFORNIANS AT
THE END AS WE CRAFTED THE
LANGUAGE WORKED CLOSELY WITH
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL TO ENSURE
THAT THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU
DOES NOT VIOLATE THE FOURTH
AMENDMENT -- AND AS WE WORK
TO DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE
APPROACH TO THE CRISIS HI
THIS BILL IS CERTAINLY NOT
SOMETHING THAT THAT STANDS
ALONE THE SPELL IS SOMETHING
THAT WE ARE WORKING ON AS PART
OF A COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH
THAT INCLUDES INVESTMENTS
IN EDUCATION FOR INVESTMENTS
IN TREATMENT BY VESTMENT IN
PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND I THINK
STRONGER ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OUR
TAX PLATFORMS IS AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THAT PUZZLE AT AND
IMPORTANT PART OF THE WORK THAT

THREE OH TWO EIGHT HISTORY
SIX ON THIS ONE YES TO A
LOT OF RIVERS WE HAVE A
AB TWO EIGHTY THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER TOUR -- AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE --
I'M HERE TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY
BILL TO HAITI THE MANDELA ACCT
ON SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AS
WE ALL KNOW YOURS OF RESEARCH
CONTINUE TO CONFIRM THAT
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT CAUSES
DEEP PSYCHOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL
HARM BUT REMAINS COMMON IN
JAILS PRISONS AND DETENTION
FACILITIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA
AND ALTHOUGH THIS BILL DOES NOT
AFFECT OUR STATE IN PSYCHIATRIC
HOSPITALS IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
WE SHOULD LIGHT ON THE PRACTICE
OF SECLUSION A PRACTICE SIMILAR
TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT WERE
BY A PATIENT IS LOCKED IN A
BIGGER ROOM WITHOUT A TIMELINE
FOR RELEASE BECAUSE THE
CLOSING GOES DONE DOCUMENTED
MUCH OF THE TIME ADVOCATES
AND FAMILY MEMBERS OFTEN LEFT
TO PIECE TOGETHER HOW LONG
PATIENTS HAVE BEEN ISOLATED
THE CONSENSUS AMONG MENTAL
HEALTH EXPERTS HUMAN RIGHTS
ORGANIZATIONS AND THE UNITED
NATIONS IS THAT PROLONGED
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT AMOUNTS
TO TORTURE IN TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN THE NATIONAL COMMISSION
ON CORRECTIONAL HEALTH CARE
STATED THAT A PERIOD OF
CONFINEMENT BEYOND FIFTEEN
CONSECUTIVE DAYS IS INHUMANE
DEGRADING TREATMENT AND HARMFUL
TO AN INDIVIDUAL'S HEALTH THE
LACK OF HUMAN CONTACT ENDLESS
MONOTONY CAUSES DEEP DEPRESSION
PARANOIA AND SOME EVEN
SUFFER HALLUCINATIONS OTHERS
EXPERIENCE LARGE FLUCTUATIONS
IN WEIGHT AND CHRONIC
PAIN AND DUE TO EXTREMELY
RESTRICTIVE CONDITIONS CHRONIC
HEALTH CONDITIONS EITHER GO
UNTREATED OR ARE MISTREATED
AB TWO EIGHTY PROVIDES THE
DEFINITION OF WHAT CONSTITUTES
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT ACROSS
ALL FACILITIES IN CALIFORNIA
IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE EU
AND MANDELA RULES IT IMPOSES
LIMITS ON HOW IT CAN BE
USED ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL
WOULD PROHIBIT THE USE OF
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS SUCH AS
PREGNANT WOMEN AND THOSE WITH
SERIOUS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
DISABILITIES THE STATE OBVIOUS
THIS TO STATE THE OBVIOUS
PEOPLE WHO NEED SPECIALIZED
CARE SHOULD NOT BE LOCKED
IN A ROOM THE SIZE OF A KING
SIZE BED WITHOUT ACCESS TO
THE SERVICES THAT THEY NEED
I WOULD LIKE TO EXTEND MY
GRATITUDE TO THE GOVERNOR AND
HIS ADMINISTRATION FOR THE
POSITIVE CUT CONVERSATIONS ON
THIS TOPIC WHEN THE DISCUSSIONS
WE HAVE HAD IT IS CLEAR THAT
THE GOVERNOR ALSO SHARES
MY INTEREST IN REDUCING THE
USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
THE EMPHASIZE POSITIVE
REHABILITATION TECHNIQUES
INSTEAD WELL I APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF THE GOVERNOR THAT
HIS ADMINISTRATION AND CDCR
THERE ARE AREAS WHERE I REMAIN
CONCERNED FOR EXAMPLE I BELIEVE
THAT IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE
PROHIBIT THE CONFINEMENT OF
PREGNANT WOMEN IN AN ISOLATION
IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE
PROTECT OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND
THOSE WHO ARE SEVERELY DISABLED
FROM THE EFFECTS OF SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT I'M HOPEFUL THAT
WITH CONTINUED EFFORT WE CAN
CLOSE THIS THESE GAPS AND WORK
TOWARDS A FULLER CONSENSUS
WITH THE GOVERNOR AS I'VE
MENTIONED BEFORE SEVERAL STATES
INCLUDING NEW YORK AND COLORADO
HAVE ALREADY TAKEN CRITICAL
STEPS TO MINIMIZE THEIR USE OF
STILLETO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
CALIFORNIA'S JOIN THE STATES
AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
SO SET TO SET WELL DEFINED
STANDARDS AND LIMITS ON THE
USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
THIS BEGINS BY RECOGNIZING THAT
PROLONGED SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
IS TORTURE AND SAID IN UNIFORM
IN LIMITS ON HOW SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT IS USED HERE WITH
ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
AB TWO RADIUS I CAME ƠN WHO
SPEAK ON THE IMPACTS SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT HAS HAD ON HIS
LIFE AND MARGARET MENDELSON
WITH PRISON LAW OFFICE WHICH
HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS
SETTLEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH CDC
ARE IN JAILS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR RIVALS THANK YOU YOU EACH
HAVE TO MANAGE MAY BEGIN THANK
YOU HELLO MY NAME IS HAKIM
MORE AND I'M HERE TO SHARE MY
LIVED EXPERIENCE AS A SOLITARY
SURVIVOR FROM SACRAMENTO BUT I
NEVER IMAGINED THAT MY JOURNEY
WOULD LEAD ME TO THIS MOMENT
TODAY AS AN UNDERGRADUATE AT UC
BERKELEY WITH THE UNDERGROUND
SCHOLARS PROGRAM TO ADVOCATE
WITH THE CALIFORNIA MANDELA
CAMPAIGN I AM COMPELLED TO
RAISE MY VOICE TO SHED LIGHT ON
THE HEARTBREAKING REALITY FACED
BY COUNTLESS HUMAN BEINGS IN
THIS COUNTRY MY FIRST CONTACT
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT CAME
WHEN I WAS EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD
AS A RESULT I WAS PLACED ON
PROBATION AND SOON THEREAFTER
SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND MYSELF IN
PRISON FOR THE FIRST TIME OVER
THE MANY YEARS THAT FOLLOW
UP WITH SUBJUGATED TO SEVERAL
NINETY PERIODS IN SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT BE CERTAIN SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT IS A DIFFERENT
LEVEL OF HAIL MY KNOWLEDGE IS
NOT ONLY DERIVED FROM THE PAIN
THAT I FELT PERSONALLY BUT
ALSO FROM THE DIRT DISTURBING
SIGHTS THAT I WITNESSED FROM
WITHIN THOSE WALLS WHILE
IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT I
OBSERVED TWO INDIVIDUALS TAKE
THEIR OWN LIVES ONE OF WHOM
WAS TWENTY YEARS OLD IN ABOUT
FOUR MONTHS AWAY FROM BEING
RELEASED HIS CRIES FOR HELP
STILL ECHO IN MY MIND AND I'M
HAUNTED BY THE WAY IN WHICH IS
PLEASE WERE DISREGARDED THESE
ATROCITIES OCCURRED IN THE DARK
BUT I'M STANDING HERE TODAY
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND IT IS MY
RESPONSIBILITY TO SPEAK OUT
BECAUSE THE IMPACT OF SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT IS PROFOUND IT
LEAVES AN EVERLASTING SCAR ON
THE MIND BODY AND SOUL EVEN
TO THIS DAY I CARRY THE WEIGHT
OF ALL THAT TRAUMA WITHIN
ME AND IT TOOK EVERY OUNCE
OF MY STRENGTH TO OVERCOME
ITS DEVASTATING EFFECTS THE
OPPOSITION WILL COME FORWARD
ARGUE TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
IS NECESSARY FOR THE SAFETY OF
THE INSTITUTIONS INDIVIDUALS
AND SOCIETY YEAH WE HAVE
SEEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN THIS
PRACTICE DOES MORE HARM THAN
GOOD PERSON IS EVENTUALLY
RELEASED BACK INTO SOCIETY
AFTER AND DURING SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT THEY RETURNED
BROKEN AND ILL EQUIPPED TO COPE
WITH THE PAIN THAT THEY HAVE
ENTERED YOUR SETTING THEM UP
FOR FAILURE AND PERPETUATING
A CYCLE OF VIOLENCE AND
SUFFERING THE OPPOSITION
WILL ATTEMPT TO CONVINCE
YOU THAT THERE ARE ONLY TWO
CHOICES SOLITARY OR GENERAL
POPULATION THIS IS POLICY
NUMEROUS MODELS AND EXAMPLES
EXIST TO DEMONSTRATE HUMANE
AND SAFE ALTERNATIVES EXIST
ISOLATION WE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE
THE CALIFORNIA CAN AND MUST DO
BETTER ON THE ISSUE OF SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT IT IS WITHIN OUR
POWER TO FIND ALTERNATIVES
THE PRIORITIZE COMPASSION
HEALING AND TO REBUILD THE
TATIAN THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MY NAME
IS MARCO MENDELSSOHN AND I
AM THE LEGAL DIRECTOR OF THE
PRISON LAW OFFICE A NONPROFIT
LAW FIRM THAT ADVOCATES ON
BEHALF OF INCARCERATED PEOPLE
OUR ORGANIZATION REPRESENTS
OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND
PEOPLE IN PRISONS AND JAILS
ACROSS THE STATE WE FIGHT TO
ENSURE ADEQUATE HEALTH CARE
CURB ABUSES OF INCARCERATED
PEOPLE AND REDUCED RATES
OF INCARCERATION ACROSS THE
STATE AS PART OF OUR WORK
MY COLLEAGUES AND I SPEND
A GREAT DEAL OF TIME INSIDE
CALIFORNIA PRISONS AND JAILS
WE HAVE EXTENSIVE CONTACT
THEIR CLIENTS AND WE CONDUCT
REGULAR SITE VISITS IN LOCKED
FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE SELETAR CONFINEMENTS IN
ISSUE OF MAJOR CONCERN TO OUR
OFFICE AND OUR CLIENTS I WANT
TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE USE OF
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IS RAMPANT
IN THE STATE RIGHT NOW PEOPLE
IN CALIFORNIA PRISONS AND
COUNTY JAILS ROUTINELY SPEND
UPWARD OF TWENTY THREE HOURS
A DAY LOCKED IN CONCRETE CELLS
WITH LITTLE TO OCCUPY THEIR
MINDS MANY OF OUR CLIENTS GET
OUT OF THEIR CELLS AS LITTLE
AS FIFTEEN MINUTES A DAY AND
THE PRIMARY CONTACT THEY HAVE
WITH OTHER HUMAN BEINGS THE
SCREAMING THROUGH A LOCKED CELL
DOORS OUR CLIENTS IN CALL IN
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT EXPERIENCE
RACING THOUGHTS PARANOIA
DEPRESSION UNCONTROLLABLE
WEEPING THEY TELL US THAT THEY
HAVE BOUTS OF ANGER DIFFICULTY
WITH MOOD CONTROL AND PROFOUND
DISORIENTATION AS A RESULT OF
THE SENSORY DEPRIVATION THE
TERMS OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
OR WELL ESTABLISHED INCIDENTS
OF SUICIDE AND SELF HARM ARE
VASTLY HIGHER IN SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT UNITS MANY OF
THE MENTAL HEALTH IMPACTS
OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT ARE
PERMANENT MEANING THAT THEY
DON'T JUST AFFECT THE PERSON
MOTHER IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT
BUT ALSO UPON THEIR RELEASE TO
GENERAL POPULATION AND LATER
TO THE COMMUNITY IN COUNTY
JAILS IN THE STATE THE USE
OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IS
PARTICULARLY EXCESSIVE AND
UNPRINCIPLED MANY COUNTY JAILS
YOU SOLITARY CONFINEMENT IN
THE ABSENCE OF ADEQUATE MENTAL
HEALTH RESOURCES INCLUDING
FOR PEOPLE ON SUICIDE WATCH
OR EXPERIENCING ACUTE MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS PEOPLE SPEND
MONTHS OR EVEN YEARS IN THESE
UNITS ALL ACROSS THE STATE
WITHOUT KNOWING WHY THEY'RE
THERE OR HOW OR WHEN THEY CAN
GET RELEASED POLICING STRICT
LIMITS ON THE USE OF SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT MAKE FACILITIES
SAFER IT SAVES MONEY IT
PROMOTES REHABILITATION BY
EXPANDING ACCESS TO SUPPORTIVE
PROGRAM MOST IMPORTANTLY
IT PREVENTS THE SENSELESS
DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN LIFE
AS HACKING DESCRIBED WE AS A
STATE MUST EXPLORE ALTERNATIVES
TO SOLITARY CONFINEMENT THAT
ARE ROOTED IN HUMANITY AND
PRINCIPLES OF WELLNESS AND
REHABILITATION THEY'RE SAFE
ALTERNATIVES TO SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT THE PROMOTE HEALTH
SECURITY AND HUMAN DECENCY
THIS BILL IS SORELY NEEDED

HOUSE IN A CAGE BY THEMSELVES
AND OTHER FORMS OF LIVESTOCK
BUT NOT HUMAN BEINGS AND
TO OUR OPPOSITION TO MAKING
SURE PEOPLE ARE NOT TORTURED
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT AS HIS TORTURE AND
FOR US TO CALL OURSELVES A YOU
KNOW FIRST WORLD SOCIETY AND
STILL WANTED PEOPLE BARBARIC
AND HOW WE HOUSE PEOPLE WHETHER
YOU'RE A PRISONER NOT IS JUST
IN HUMANE TO SAY THE LEAST
SO -- APPRECIATE THIS MEASURE
IT'S -- SO LONG OVERDUE AND
IT'S IT'S WE NEED TO CHANGE AND
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES HAVE CLEARLY
CHANGED YOUR APPROACH TO HOW
THEY HOUSE PRISONERS AND --
TREAT THEM AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT REHABILITATION AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE LOCKING
SOMEONE IN A ROOM FOR TWENTY
THREE HOURS A DAY DOESN'T HELP
WHATSOEVER SO -- AND LEAVE
AT THE END IF YOU WOULD LIKE
TO CLOSE I JUST CONCUR WITH
YOUR UNDERSTATEMENT I WOULD I
WOULD I ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TO THANK THOSE
WHO HAVE -- EITHER SPONSOR
THIS BILL ARE LAST YEAR'S
BILL THOSE WHO ARE ADVOCATES
FOR CHANGE THAT HAVE COME OUT
CONSISTENTLY TO LET THEIR VOICE
BE HEARD AROUND -- WHAT THIS
REPRESENTS AS A A STRONG HOLD
ON ON SOCIETY AND CERTAINLY
DOES WITHIN THE PRISON SYSTEM
FOR FIND THEMSELVES PLACED
IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR
EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME --
I I THEY HAVE BEEN DEALING
WITH THIS LONGER THAN I HAVE
IN TERMS OF THE PUBLIC --
ADVOCACY AND I WANT TO THANK
THEM FOR THEIR -- ENGAGEMENT
AND THEIR CONTINUED --
ADVOCACY ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO
TESTIFIED WHO ACTUALLY LIVED
THE EXPERIENCE -- YOU CANNOT
GET A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF
JUST HOW -- DEPRIVING THIS IS
TO A PERSON'S SELF WORTH --
AND TO THEIR INTEGRITY INTO
THEIR SPIRIT AS WAS IDENTIFIED
AND SO I'M VERY PLEASED TO
BE HERE AS THE AUTHOR BUT
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE REALLY BEEN PUSHING FOR
APPROPRIATIONS FOR A LONG TIME
AND AS I SAID EARLIER IN MY MY
COMMENTS -- I DO BELIEVE THAT
THE GOVERNOR IS RECOGNIZES THAT
SOME FORMER CHANGE THINGS TO
HAPPEN AND SO WE LOOK FORWARD
TO THOSE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS
AND WHEN YOU HAVE A QUORUM
LOOK FOR -- AND I VOTE ON AB
TWO EIGHTY THANK YOU SOMEONE
SHOULD OKAY WE'RE WITHOUT
ALL YOU HAVE TO I'M SORRY --
YES NEXT IS AB THREE OH FOUR
OKAY THANK YOU MR SURE I'M HERE
TO PRESENT AB THREE OH FOUR --
IT -- IS A BILL THAT ADDRESSES
THE ISSUES OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
TO SERIOUS AND TERRIFYING
REALITY MANY LIVE WITH EVERY
DAY CALIFORNIA HAS A SYSTEM
IN PLACE TO ADDRESS DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE WITH OUR BATTERS
PREVENT INTERVENTION PROGRAM
WHICH ARE OVERSEEN BY COUNTY
PROBATION DEPARTMENTS HOWEVER
ACCORDING TO THE STATE AUDITOR
NEARLY HALF OF ALL OFFENDERS
DO NOT EVEN COMPLETE THESE
PROGRAMS MORE ALARMINGLY IT WAS
REVEALED THAT SOME PROBATION
DEPARTMENTS DID NOT REPORT
PROBATION VIOLATIONS TO THE
COURT INCLUDING WHEN OFFENDERS
VIOLATED PROTECTIVE ORDERS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A SYSTEM
FALLING SHORT IN DELIVERING
WHAT WAS MEANT TO BUT IT
WAS WHAT IT WAS MEANT TO AND
THAT'S REHABILITATION AND
ACCOUNTABILITY AB THREE OH FOUR
ADDRESSES THE SHORTCOMINGS BY
ESTABLISHING BETTER OVERSIGHT
STANDARDS IN AN EFFORT TO
REDUCE RECIDIVISM RECIDIVISM
AND INCREASE OVERALL EDUCATION
WITHIN THE SYSTEM UNDER AB
THREE OH FOR THE APPROVAL AND
RENEWAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF
THE BATTERERS INTERVENTION
PROGRAMS WILL BE TRANSFERRED
TO THE PARLIAMENT OF JUSTICE
AND REQUIRE COLLABORATION WITH
THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH HEALTH IN INJURY AND
VIOLENCE PREVENTION BRANCH I'VE
HEARD THE CONCERNS RAISED BY
THE OPPOSITION I WOULD LIKE
TO TAKE A MOMENT TO EMPHASIZE
THE NOTHING ABOUT THIS BILL
PREVENTS COLLABORATION ACROSS
STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES TO
HELP CREATE THE MOST EFFECTIVE
STANDARDS THIS BILL SIMPLY
PUTS AN OVERSIGHT STRUCTURE
IN PLACE WITH THE STATE AGENCY
THAT IS CAPABLE OF ENFORCING
THE STANDARDS CURRENTLY BEING
OVERLOOKED WHICH CAUSE A
SERIOUS THREAT TO DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE SURVIVORS WITH THAT
SAID I AM OPEN TO DISCUSSIONS
ON BEST WAYS TO IMPLEMENT THIS
BILLS INTENT A BETTER DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE INTERVENTION AND
PREVENTION WHICH IS THE GOAL I
KNOW WE ALL SHARE HI I'D LIKE
TO -- I HAVE NO WITNESSES SO
I'D LIKE TO CLOSE BY SAYING
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE WHEN YOU GO
TO COURT THANK YOU ARE THERE
ANY WITNESSES HERE WISHING
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE KAMALA NO TESTIMONY
JUST IN MAY TWO LESLIE CALDWELL
POPE -- PUBLIC DEFENDER'S
OFFICE AND ASSOCIATION WE
KEEP MISSING THEM -- IN
SUPPORT THANK YOU THANK
YOU IN ADDITION SUPPORTERS
HILLARY LARKIN FOR THE
CALIFORNIA SEXUAL ASSAULT
FORENSIC EXAMINER'S ASSOCIATION
IN SUPPORT THANK YOU SEEING
NO MORE ANALYSTS WHO THE
OPPOSITION -- INDIVIDUALS IN
A ROOM INFOSYS FRAZIER STATE
YOUR NAME AND ORGANIZATION
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
DANIEL SANCHEZ ON BEHALF OF
THE CHIEF PROBATION OFFICERS OF
CALIFORNIA AGAIN AND RESPECTFUL
-- OPPOSITION TO EIGHTY THREE
OH FORCE CURRENTLY WRITTEN I
DO WANT TO SHARE THAT -- THAT
IN OUR CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S OFFICE WE'VE
HAD I THINK VERY MUCH SHARED
VALUES ABOUT RECOGNIZING THAT
CHANGES ARE NEEDED AND THAT
THERE ARE ENHANCED WAYS TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE -- GOALS
OF THESE PROGRAMS ARE REALLY
TRULY ADDRESSING THE CORE OF
INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE AND ALSO
HOW DO WE REDUCE RECIDIVISM AND
AND BEST SERVE VICTIMS -- JUST
BRIEFLY BY WAY OF BACKGROUND
IT IS FOR THESE REASONS
-- ON THESE ISSUES THAT IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN C.
POCK -- WORKED WITH COUNTIES
ON A PILOT PROGRAM THAT REALLY
WOULD LOOK AT HOW BEST CAN
WE MOVE THE CURRICULUM TO
THE EVIDENCE BASED CURRICULUM
FOCUS ON HOW TO ADDRESS
CORE CRIMINAL GENIC NEEDS
-- AND THAT IS A MODEL AND A
PILOT PROGRAM THAT IS STILL
UNDER WAY AND HOPEFULLY WILL
CONTINUE IN THE NEXT COUPLE
YEARS -- WHILE WE DO HAVE
SHARED VALUES AND PROGRAMMATIC
CHANGES I THINK THAT -- THERE
ARE PARTS OF THIS BILL THAT
WE THINK COULD CERTAINLY
ENHANCE THESE PROGRAMS WE
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT -- A
REMOVING THAT LOCAL DELIVERY
OF SERVICE AND THE ABILITY TO
CERTIFY THE PROGRAMS -- IN THE
PRETEND A POTENTIAL LOSS OF
PROVIDERS THAT WE MEET C.
AS A RESULT -- ADDITIONALLY
I THINK WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED
THAT TO THE -- CHANGES PROPOSED
IN THIS BILL MAY PREDATE THE
MORE COMPREHENSIVE LOOK LOOKING
AT THE PILOT IN RELATION TO
THESE PROGRAMS IN ITS TOTALITY
AND HOW DID HOW WHEN WE MOVE
FORWARD TO SAY POLICY CHANGES
ARE NEEDED ARE WE MAKING SURE
WE'RE LEARNING THE LESSONS
FROM THOSE EVALUATIONS AND
INCORPORATING IT INTO THE THESE
LARGER CHANGES -- SO WE LOOK
FORWARD TO MORE CONVERSATIONS
AGAIN OUR OPPOSITION IS NOT
REFLECTIVE OF THE NOTION
THAT CHANGES ARE NOT NEEDED I
THINK IT'S ABOUT THE SPECIFIC
APPROACHES AND HOW WE CAN BEST
GET THERE SO WE LOOK FOR MORE
CONVERSATIONS THANK YOU Q.
YOU DO SO WITH THIS
IS IN OPPOSITION
GOOD AFTERNOON TRACY KENNY ON
BEHALF THE GENERAL COUNSEL WE
ARE ALSO IN AN OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION WE ARE TAKING
NO POSITION ON THE SHIP OF
THE OVERSIGHT FOR THE BETTER
INTERVENTION PROGRAMS FROM
PROBATION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE BUT WE HAVE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE JUDICIAL TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS AND THE BILL NOT
BECAUSE WE DON'T THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO HAVE JUDICIAL
TRAINING ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
WE THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
AND WE PROVIDE A LOT OF IT WE
HAVE CONCERNS OVER SEPARATION
OF POWERS PERSPECTIVE ABOUT
THE LEGISLATURE MANDATING SUCH
A SPECIFIC LIST OF TOPICS AS
A REGULATION OF A CO EQUAL
BRANCH IF THE LEGISLATURE
WANTS TO SIGNAL THESE ARE
IMPORTANT TOPICS MAKING
THOSE THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO CONSIDER INCLUDING WILL
BE A WAY TO ACCOMPLISH THAT
OBJECTIVE WHILE STILL HAVING
FOR APPROPRIATE DEFERENCE AND
RESPECT FOR OUR STATUS WE ALSO
HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE
LANGUAGE ON PROBATION VIOLATION
TRAINING AND ITS EMPHASIS
ON CONSISTENT EDUCATION THAT
COULD BE MISINTERPRETED TO MEAN
THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL RULE RATHER THAN
UNDERSTANDING HOW TO APPLY THE
STATUTE AS IT APPLIES TO EACH
INDIVIDUAL CASE WE ALSO HAVE
SOME CONCERNS IN THAT PROVISION
IS AN ARM OF THE COURT WHEN
IT SUPERVISING THANKS ARE ON
PROBATION ABOUT THE SUGGESTION
THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE WOULD BE AUDITING OR
OVERSEEING PROBATION AGENCIES
IN CARRYING OUT THEIR DUTIES
OF THAT AGAIN COULD VIOLATE
SEPARATION OF POWERS SO

REQUIRE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS
TO PROVIDE A REFERRAL ONE HAND
OUT TO CONNECTS THE FIBERS
OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WITH
LOCAL VICTIM SERVICES SERVICE
PROVIDERS SO THAT THEY COULD
RECEIVE THE SERVICES SUPPORT
AND SAFETY PLANNING THEY MEET
SECOND THIS BILL WILL ELIMINATE
THE MANDATE THAT HEALTH
CARE PROVIDERS REPORT TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT WHEN A SURVIVOR OF
VIOLENCE OR ABUSE SEEK MEDICAL
CARE FOR INJURIES RELATED TO
THE ABUSE THIS BILL MAINTAINS
THE REQUIREMENT FOR MANDATED
REPORTS IN THE CASE OF FIREARM
INJURIES BUT ELIMINATES THE
MANDATED REPORTING FOR OTHER
ASSAULTIVE BARBIES THAT KIND
EXISTING IN DATA REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS IN MEDICINE DETER
SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC AND
SEXUAL VIOLENCE FROM SEEKING
MEDICAL CARE OUT OF FEAR OF
BEING REPORTED WITHOUT CONSENT
CREATING DISTRESS BETWEEN
PATIENTS AND THEIR PROVIDERS
SURVIVORS DESERVE INCREASED
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND WOULD
BENEFIT FROM BEING CONNECTED
TO TRAIN ADVOCATES WHO COULD
DEVELOP SAFETY PLANS AND
SUPPORT CONNECTIONS TO LEGAL
RESOURCE IF WHEN PROVIDERS
ARE ABLE TO HAVE OPEN TRAUMA
INFORMED CONVERSATION WITH
PATIENTS ABOUT ABUSE SURVIVORS
ARE FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY
TO EXCESS INTERVENTION SUCH
AS DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ADVOCACY
TO BE VERY CLEAR THIS BILL
IS ABOUT REMOVING BARRIERS TO
CRUCIAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES
AN ALLOWANCE OF FIVE IS TO
MAKE THE CHOICE ABOUT WHEN OR
IF TO CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT
SURVIVORS WHO WISH TO CONTACT
LAW ENFORCEMENT WITH STILL BE
ABLE TO DO SO AT ANY TIME IN
A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER COULD
STILL CONTACT LAW ENFORCEMENT

HI MY NAME IS HILARY LARKHAM
I AM A PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
AND I'M HERE TO REPRESENT
THE CALIFORNIA SEXUAL ASSAULT
FORENSIC EXAMINER'S ASSOCIATION
WE ARE TWO HUNDRED -- FORENSIC
EXAMINERS ACROSS THE STATE
REPRESENTING FORTY EIGHT TEAMS
WHO DO APPROXIMATELY TWENTY
THOUSAND FORENSIC EXAMS A
YEAR WE HAVE WE ARE WALKING
THE LINE HELPING VICTIMS
PROVIDING MEDICAL EVIDENCE
FOR CARE -- AND WORKING WITH
LAW ENFORCEMENT UNDER THE
MANDATED REPORT WE AGREE THAT
THE INTERPERSONAL VIOLENCE
MANDATORY REPORTING LAWS FOR
HEALTH CARE SHOULD BE AMENDED
WE'RE JUST CONCERNED THAT THIS
BILL GOES TOO FAR -- AND HAS A
LOT OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
PARTICULARLY FOR THE MOSTLY
SEVERELY INJURED AND OF THE
HIGHEST RATES FOR DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE FATALITY COMMON SIDE
IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH
FOR PREGNANT WOMEN IN THE U.
S.
SIXTY EIGHT PERCENT OF
PREGNANCY RELATED DV HOMICIDES
INVOLVED FIREARMS BLACK WOMEN
ARE DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED
AND THESE HOMICIDE REPRESENT
NOT ONE BUT TWO DEATHS IF
WE CAN ONLY REPORT FIREARM
INJURIES TO THE POLICE AS THIS
BILL PROPOSES IT WILL BE TOO
LATE FOR MOST FOR THOSE VICTIMS
AND WE WILL HAVE NO CHANCE TO
INTERVENE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
HOMICIDE RISK ASSESSMENT AND
HARM REDUCTION FALL SQUARELY IN
THE REALM OF HEALTHCARE FORTY
SEVEN PERCENT OF DV HOMICIDE
VICTIMS ARE SEEKING HEALTH CARE
IN THE YEAR BEFORE THEY DIE
AND FOR EVERYONE DEVEY HOMICIDE
THERE EIGHT THE TEMPTED
HOMICIDES AND OF THOSE SEVERELY
INJURED PATIENTS ARE BEING
SEEN EVERY DAY IN OUR EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENTS I RECENTLY CARE
FOR PATIENTS A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT THAN DOCTOR COLLINS
-- WHO'S ABUSER WAS DROPPED OFF
AND FROM THE HOSPITAL SHE WAS
BEATEN TO THE POINT WHERE HER
FACE WAS UNRECOGNIZABLE SHE WAS
BROUGHT INTO THE E.
D.
BUT DID NOT WANT TO BE TREATED
UNTIL SHE KNEW HER CHILDREN
WERE SAFE THE POLICE WERE
REQUESTED TO DO A WELFARE
CHECK ON OUR KIDS THEY WERE
ABLE TO FIND THEM AND DELIVER
THEM SAFELY TO TRUSTED FAMILY
MEMBERS THE ADVOCATE WAITED
WITH THE PATIENT WHILE THIS
HAPPENED -- AND WENT ONCE HER
KIDS WERE SAFE THE PATIENT
WAS NOW WILLING TO RECEIVE
THE MUCH NEEDED HEALTH CARE
AND NOW THAT AND NOW THAT
SHE HAD AN ADVOCATE WITH HER
WHO COULD PROVIDER WERE SAFE
SAFE SHELTER FOR HER IN HER
TRACKS HER CHILDREN SHE FELT
READY TO MAKE A STATEMENT
TO POLICE THIS INTERVIEW
WAS COMMON FORM CARE IF AB
TEN TWENTY EIGHT PASSES THIS
PATIENT WOULD RECEIVE BRIEF
COUNSELING AND A PHONE NUMBER
OR TO AN ADVOCACY SERVICE THE
POTENTIALLY BE DISCHARGED HER
VIEWS ARE WAITING OUTSIDE TO
PICK HER UP THIS IS NOT TO SAY
FOR CARE I THINK KNOWLEDGE IN
MY HOSPITAL WHERE I WORK -- IS
NOT TYPICAL AND WE HAVE BEEN
PERSON ADVOCACY AND THE ABILITY
TO PROVIDE CONCRETE SERVICES
AND -- WE HAVE COOPERATIVE
POLICE THAT WORK WITH US IN
A TEAM WHAT I'M SAYING IS WE
NEED TO BE PUSHING FORWARD AND
LEARNING BETTER COLLABORATIVE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR WITH
THIS TEAM AND THIS MODEL --
SO WE CAN ACTUALLY LEVEL UP
INSTEAD OF TURNING THE CLOCK
BACK TWENTY YEARS KENTUCKY
REPEAT REPEAL THEIR HEALTHCARE
MANDATORY REPORTING IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN AND THEIR D.
V.
HOMICIDE RATE HAS INCREASED BY
SIXTY EIGHT PERCENT WE AGREE
THAT HEALTHCARE MANDATORY
REPORTING LAWS SHOULD BE
AMENDED BUT WHAT IS CURRENTLY
PROPOSING AB TEN TWENTY
EIGHT ISN'T OVERREACH WITH
MANY UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IF YOU
COULD WIND UP -- AND WE FIFTH
VERGE MORE CONVERSATION AND
A LITTLE BIT MORE NUANCED
AND MEASURED APPROACH OKAY
ANY AMENDMENTS THANK YOU
FIVE NEXT PLEASE FIGURE
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
LISA DISBROW AND I REPRESENT
OUR DUTY AB TEN TWENTY EIGHT
IS DESIGNED TO HURT WOMEN AND
BENEFIT PIMPS AND ABUSERS BY
REPEALING THE OBLIGATION FOR
MEDICAL PROVIDERS TO REPORT
SUSPICIONS OF ABUSE UNLESS THE
WOMAN IS HARMED BY A GUN IS AN
AFFRONT TO ALL WOMEN WOMEN MUST
BE CLOSE TO DEATH BEFORE THERE
IS A MANDATED REPORT OVER THE
LAST FEW YEARS FEMALES HAVE
LOST THEIR SAFE PLACES THEIR
BATHROOMS THE PODIUM SPOTS
THEIR AWARDS AND EVEN THEIR
NAME WOMAN ADULT HUMAN FEMALE
THIS IS ONE MORE MOVE TOUR RACE
WOMAN THIS BILL WILL PREVENT
ABUSERS TO BEAT THE HELL OUT
OF A WOMAN STABBED HER RAPED
HER WHATEVER ELSE HE WANTS TO
DO WITH ABANDONED A MEDICAL
PROVIDER WILL BANDAGE HER UP
WIPED AWAY HER TEARS AND SEND
HER RIGHT BACK INTO THE ARMS
OF HER PIMP OR ABUSER THAT
SAID WE DO LIKE THE REQUIREMENT
THAT MEDICAL PROVIDERS PROVIDE
RESOURCES TO THE BATTERED
WOMEN BUT THAT IS INSUFFICIENT
MANDATED REPORTING MUST STAND
THE SOURCES REFERRED IN THE
BILL DON'T SUPPORT REMOVING
MANDATED REPORTING THE JOURNAL
OF FAMILY VIOLENCE STUDY DID
NOT INDEPENDENTLY CONFIRM IF
THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE STUDY
WE'RE EXPERIENCING OR CAUSING
THE HARM SIMPLY THE ABUSERS
COULD HAVE BEEN RESPONDING
THAT THEY DON'T WANT THE
COPS INVOLVED THE NUMBER ONE
REASON WHY THE RESPONDENT
TO SAID MANDATING REPORTING
IS HARMFUL WAS BECAUSE THEIR
ABUSER WOULD BE PLACED IN JAIL
OR INVESTIGATED BUT DON'T WE
WANT THE ABUSERS PROSECUTED
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS
ARE OFTEN FINANCIALLY COERCED
TRAUMATIZED AND HAVE HAD THEIR
SELF ESTEEM OF THE SERRATED WE
NEED TO GIVE THEM A LIFELINE
WHY ON EARTH DOES SHE HAVE TO
BE A VICTIM OF A GUN VIOLENCE
BEFORE THE POLICE ARE INVOLVED
THAT'S FARCICAL THE CRUX OF
THE PROBLEM IS THAT WOMEN FEAR
THAT REPORTING WILL SUBJECT
HIM TO FURTHER ABUSE THIS
BILL WILL SUBJECT WOMEN TO
OUR RETURN TO A CYCLE IN WHICH
THE VIOLENCE INCREASES AND
WILL LEAVE THEM WITHOUT SAFE
SHELTER AT THE MERCY OF AN
ABUSER WHO IS NOT BEING JAILED

TWENTY EIGHT -- CENTER CHOI BO
THANK YOU AT THE CENTER WIENER
SO -- HAVING HAD SPOKEN TO
MANY OF THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
-- -- AGENCIES IN MY AREA
THAT PROVIDE THE SERVICES TO
INDIVIDUALS AND TALKING ABOUT
THE VULNERABILITY AND THE
MENTAL STATUS OF PEOPLE WHO
ARE SUFFERING ESPECIALLY IN
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IT FRIGHTENS
ME THAT WE WOULD REMOVE
THE REQUIREMENT BY HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE SEEN
THESE -- THESE INDIVIDUALS
-- AND FEMALES -- WHOMEVER IS
SUFFERING FROM THIS BECAUSE
SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT IN THE
IN THE BEST MINDSET FOR THE
HEALTHIEST WAS THE BEST FOR THE
HEALTHY IS MY SAID TO BE ABLE
TO KNOW WHAT IS BEST OF FOR
VARIOUS REASONS -- I ACTUALLY
I'M KINDA NERVOUS ABOUT THIS
BILL -- IN THE IN THE FALL OF
RELATED PLACES MANY OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS AS AS YOU HEARD
FROM ANY OF THE WAY TO SAYS
THAT THAT -- THAT ADVOCATE FOR
PEOPLE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE --
WE NEED TO BE THERE ADVOCATES
WHEN THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO BE
THEIR OWN PERSONAL ADVOCATES
-- I'M GONNA RESPECTFULLY
NOT SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY --
BECAUSE OF THE BILL ABILITY
WHICH I I THINK MANY OF THESE
WOMEN FIND THEMSELVES AND MEN
-- AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY
THAT I'M REALLY APOLOGIZE BUT
I'M ACTING IN THE BEST INTEREST
FOR WHAT I BELIEVE -- IS A VERY
SENSITIVE AND VERY VULNERABLE
POSITION -- PHYSICALLY
EMOTIONALLY THE PSYCHOLOGICAL
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
-- OUR SYSTEM OR I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR BEING THE SOLE
FOR AND I'M PROUD TO BE A CO
AUTHOR OF THE BILL I THINK
WHEN WE LOOK AT WORK THAT WE'VE
DONE IN THE LEGISLATURE --
TWO TWO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT PEOPLE FEEL SAFE -- --
ACCESSING HEALTH CARE AND THAT
THEY NEVER HAVE A CONCERN BUT
IF THEY ACCESS HEALTH CARE THAT
THEY WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE
SITUATION AND AND AND THEREFORE
NOT ACCESS THAT HEALTH CARE
WITH TEAMS IN DIFFERENT
CONTEXTS IN THE LEGISLATURE WE
PASSED A BILL THAT FOR EXAMPLE
WE WANT IMMIGRANTS TO FEEL SAFE
REPORTING CRIMES ARE GOING TO
COURT AND AND NOT FEELING LIKE
THEY'RE GONNA GET DEPORTED
IF THEY REPORT TO THE POLICE
WANT SEX WORKERS TO BE ABLE TO
REPORT VIOLENT CRIME IF THEY'RE
ASSAULTED OR RAPED OR KIDNAPPED
TO THE POLICE WITHOUT FEAR THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ARRESTED
AND OF SYSTEM THIS IS -- I
THINK THERE'S A -- A PATTERN
HERE OF OF THIS LEGISLATURE
TRYING TO PROTECT -- -- VICTIMS
TRYING TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HAVE
CONTROL OVER THEIR OWN --
LIVES AND THAT THEY DON'T
LOSE THAT CONTROL FOR SEEKING
HEALTH CARE REFORM OR WHATNOT
-- SO I PLEDGE MY SUPPORT THE
BILL AND -- THANK YOU IN THE
COLLISION ON THE BILL -- I
ALSO JUST ONE -- -- KNOW WHAT
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP ON THIS -- I NOTICED
ONE OF THE LEAD WITNESSES THEIR
ORGANIZATION SUBMITTED A LETTER
DIED INCREASES YOUR LEADERSHIP
AND MAKES IT SEEM LIKE LIKE I
AM THE LEAD ON THE BILL -- --
WE SEEN THAT BEFORE WITH A BILL
BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER WILL SEND
ANOTHER BILL BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
-- CARDIO ALL BILLS AUTHORED BY
STRONG WOMEN OF COLOR WHO WERE
-- IT'S THEIR RACE -- YOU OFF
THE BILL AND PUT ME ON BECAUSE
I KNOW THAT IN THE RIGHT WING
MEDIA ECOSYSTEM -- IT WILL
TRIGGER PEOPLE MORE OF THE
COMBINED NAME ON AND I THINK
IT'S OFFENSIVE -- IN A LOT OF
WAYS AND BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT A
LEAD ON ON THIS AND I'M PROUD
TO BE YOUR WING MAN -- ON IT
-- I ALSO JUST WANT TO NOTE FOR
THE RECORD -- AND THIS IS QUITE
FACTUAL THAT YOU KNOW THE RISK
COMMENT BELT ABOUT WOMEN BEING
HARMED -- WOMEN ARE -- LOT OF
VICTIMIZATION IN THIS WORLD
OF WOMEN AND THAT INCLUDES
POSTAGE GENDER WOMEN AND TRANS
WOMEN AND TRANS WOMEN ARE
ALSO HORRIBLY BRUTALIZED AND
VICTIMIZED AND ARE TERRIFIED
OFTEN OF ACCESSING THE SYSTEM
BECAUSE THE SYSTEM IS ALSO
PERPETUATE VIOLENCE AGAINST
TRANS WOMEN -- AND SO I JUST
WANNA KNOW FOR THE RECORD THAT
-- ALL KINDS OF WOMEN -- OUR
EXPERIENCES VICTIMIZATION AND
THIS PROTECTS ALL OF THEM SO
THANK YOU -- I'M CHAIRING SO
I CAN'T MOVE THE BILL BUT ON
A MOTION BY CENTER BRADFORD
-- AND IF THERE'S NO FURTHER
COMMENT OR QUESTIONS -- YOU
MAY CLOSE WELL THANK YOU GUYS
THANK YOU SENATORS -- FIRST OF
ALL I UNDERSTAND SENATOR IT IS
VERY DIFFICULT THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT BILL IT WAS HARD TO
KERRY IT WAS HARD TO CARRY TO
THE ASSEMBLY BUT -- I WOULD
JUST LIKE TO CLARIFY THAT THIS
BILL DOES NOT CHANGE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS FOR ELDER ABUSE
CHILD ABUSE OR ANY OTHER TYPES
OF CRIME ALSO THE TEN OF THIS
BILL IS THAT THE SURVIVORS
SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO
CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES WHEN
TO ENGAGE WITH CRIMINAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND THEY SHOULD
ALSO BE ABLE TO GO IN THINK
HEALTHCARE WITHOUT BEING AFRAID
WE ALL KNOW THAT SOMETIME WHEN
THEY GO IN THEY SEEK HEALTHCARE
-- THEY TURN THEM INTO TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT LAW ENFORCEMENT
MAYBE LOOK FOR THE MAN CAN'T
PICK HIM UP AT THE MOMENT IF
HE'S HIDING HE COMES BACK TO
THE HOME HE KNOWS A LINE FORCES
BE LOOKING FOR ME BEATS THEM
AGAIN I MEAN YOU KNOW IT'S A
VERY VERY HARD DECISION BUT
WE KNOW WE DON'T WANT THESE

CARLOS HERNANDEZ AND THE NIKAH
BURKE DHARMA AS A TECHNICAL
WITNESS THANK YOU THANKS FOR
REMEMBER YOU MAY PROCEED GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIRS MEMBERS MY
NAME IS CARLOS HERNANDEZ SIGNED
FORMALLY INCARCERATED I WAS
RELEASED LAST SUMMER AT THE
SERVING TWELVE YEARS IN THE
CALIFORNIA PRISON SYSTEM TODAY
ON THE POLICY AND PROGRAMS
ASSISTING WITH THE MEAT BUT
COLLECTIVE I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY SPEAK TODAY IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL THIS BILL
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE DATA
CLEARLY TELLS US THAT SAID
JUST HAS TO DO NOT WORK IN
MY CASE I WAS SAYS THE TWENTY
SIX YEARS EIGHT YEARS FOR
THE BASER THE ACTUAL CRIME IN
EIGHTEEN YEARS AND ENHANCEMENTS
I RECEIVE THIS LATEST CENSUS
AFTER BEING ARRESTED WHILE
DRIVING A CAR WITH THREE OTHER
PEOPLE THAT HAVE ONE GUN IN
IT I WAS EIGHTEEN AT THE TIME
AND NO ONE WAS HURT I TAKE
FULL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR MY
LIFESTYLE BEFORE WENT TO PRISON
WILL OF COURSE RATED I DECIDED
TO EDUCATE MYSELF EDUCATION
REHABILITATION HIRED AN ACE
THIS IS DEGREE IN SOCIOLOGY
THE FACILITATING MANY SELF
HELP GROUPS I MISSED OUT ON
MANY LIFE OF THIS MY FAMILY
WAS INCARCERATED AND I CAN'T
GET THOSE YEARS BACK AND I
ACCEPT THAT BUT IF I HAD BEEN
SENT TO AFTER TWENTY EIGHTEEN
A JUDGE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO LOOK AT ALL THE FACTORS IN
MY CASE IT'S ACTUALLY REMOVE
THE ACTION HAS BEEN SIGNED
THIS IS NOT THIS WHAT I'M NOT
GONNA GET OUT OF JAIL FREE
CARD EITHER A BIT MORE LIKE
AN APPROPRIATE AND EQUITABLE
SENSE SINCE I'M ONLY HERE TODAY
WORKING IN THE COMMUNITY WITH
OUR YOUTH AND A POLICY BECAUSE
OF A PROSECUTOR INITIATED RESET
SYNC IN YOLO COUNTY IF NOT
FOR THAT PROGRAM I WOULD STILL
BE IN PRISON TODAY POSSIBLY
FOR THE THIRTEEN YEARS ALWAYS
THE MY LIFE POTENTIAL MILLION
TAXPAYER DOLLARS IN THE PAST
MANDATORY SENSING HAS MEANS
TIGHTER COURT OFFICERS HANDS
AND LIMITED THEIR ABILITY TO
DO MORE THAN OVERSEEING THE
MINISTER COURT PROCEEDINGS AB
THIRTEEN TEN WOULD RIGHTFULLY
GRANT OR INTERESTED JUDGES
THE DISCRETION AND JUDICIAL
AUTHORITY TO LOOK AT ALL
THE CASE FACTORS INCLUDING
EDUCATION REHABILITATION

INCARCERATED AND ARE SOLELY
SERVING A HANDSOME I BELIEVE
CALIFORNIA'S GOING INTO GREAT
DIRECTION IT IS ALSO MY BELIEF
THAT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
REACH BACK AND HELP OUT THOSE

FOURTH FORCE ON YOUTH RESIDENTS
SPIKE FIFTY PERCENT IN THE

STRONGER REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

OF AN INJURY THE STAFFING RATIO
OF THE FACILITY AT THE TIME OF
THE INCIDENT AND WHETHER THE
INCIDENT OCCURRED IN A SECURE
YOUTH TREATMENT FACILITY AS
ESTABLISHED BY S.

KEY TOOL THAT CAN BE USED TO

THE CHANGE IN SENTENCING LAWS

UP TO THE AGE OF TWENTY FIVE
THE HOUSE NOW IN JUVENILE
FACILITIES NEXT TO LITERALLY
TEENAGERS TO CREATE A LOT OF
PRESSURE ON THE OFFICERS IT
CREATES A LOT OF POTENTIAL
PHYSICAL CONFRONTATIONS
WHICH ARE INCREASING AS MUCH
BY THE AUTHOR BUT THE PRICE
OFFICERS THAT I REPRESENT
ARE SIMPLY TRYING TO GET
THEIR ARMS AROUND THE PROBLEM
IN TRYING TO ELIMINATE THE
PROBLEM BECAUSE IT GETS WORSE
DAY AFTER DAY WE THINK THE
REPORTING THESE INCIDENTS

-- PIECE OF INFORMATION FOR
NOT ONLY STATE BEFORE A LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO TRY TO BETTER
ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES THAT
ARE BEING CREATED THE JOINT
AUTHORS BECAUSE OF THE RECENT
CHANGES I WILL EMPHASIZE THAT
OVERWHELMINGLY PROFESSORS

WITNESSES FROM THE BURDEN OF
TESTIFYING AT A PROBABLE CAUSE
HEARING BUT AB TWELVE FIFTY
THREE FAILS TO BALANCE THIS
GOAL AGAINST THE RIGHTS OF
PEOPLE WHO HAVE SERVED THEIR
FULL PRISON TERM AND ARE NOW
SUBJECT TO FURTHER INDEFINITE
DETENTION AB TWELVE FIFTY
THREE ASK EACH OF YOU TO DO
WHAT A PROSECUTOR WOULD NOT
SEND AYE UNRELIABLE EVIDENCE
CONTAINING CONTRADICTIONS
INCOMPLETE OR AMBIGUOUS
STATEMENTS AND EVEN DISTORTIONS
OF TRUTH INTO A FACT FINDING
HEARING CONSEQUENTLY AB TWELVE
FIFTY THREE IT RENDERS THE
PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING FOR
FORMATIVE THE PROBABLE CAUSE
HEARING AND IN THE S.
B.
P.
A.
CONTEXT SERVICE TO WEED OUT
GROUNDLESS FOR UNSUPPORTED
CHARGES THE RELEVANT QUESTION
FOR THE COURT AT THE STP A
PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING IS
WHETHER A REASONABLE PERSON
EVALUATING THE EVIDENCE COULD
FIND THAT THE PERSON QUALIFIES
AS A SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR
THE COURT IS HARD PRESSED
TO MAKE SUCH A DETERMINATION
BASED ON YEARS OLD UNTESTED
ASSERTIONS IN A POLICE REPORT
THAT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO SUPPORT A SEXUAL OFFENCE
CONVICTION AB TWELVE FIFTY
THREE IS ALSO UNNECESSARY
THE LAW ALREADY PERMITS
LIMITED HERE SAY A PROBABLE
CAUSE HEARINGS INCLUDING
PRELIMINARY HEARING TRANSCRIPTS
TRIAL TRANSCRIPTS PROBATION
AND SENTENCING REPORTS AND
EVALUATIONS BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF STATE HOSPITALS NOTABLY
AT THE ORIGINAL PRELIMINARY
HEARING QUALIFIED OFFICERS
ARE PERMITTED TO OFFER FOR THE
TRUTH OF THE MATTER ASSERTED
STATEMENTS OF VICTIMS AND
WITNESSES FOR THEIR THEIR
EXISTING HEARSAY EXCEPTIONS
THAT COULD PERMIT THE
INTRODUCTION OF POLICE REPORTS
PROVIDED THE HEARSAY STATEMENTS
CONTAINED THERE AND SATISFY
THE EVIDENCE CODE CONSEQUENTLY
THE GOAL OF AB TWELVE FIFTY
THREE CAN ALREADY BE ACHIEVED
INCLUDING BY PROVIDING EARLIER
NOTICE AT THE SCPA PROCEEDINGS
WHICH IN MOST CASES ARE START
AT LEAST SIX MONTHS BEFORE
A PERSON IS SCHEDULED TO BE
RELEASED FOR THESE REASONS
WE WERE IN OPPOSITION TO AB
TWELVE FIFTY THREE THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON AS A LAWYER
WHO PRACTICES BACK WAY BACK
IN THE DAY THEM DSO IN BEFORE

MORE AND MORE CONCERNED AS WE

EVIDENCE USED TO SUPPORT THE S.

A PETITION WHICH THEN LOOKS
TO WHETHER A PERSON WHO HAS
SERVED HIS ENTIRE OR HER ENTIRE
SENTENCE WILL BE HELD PERHAPS
INDEFINITELY AS A SEXUALLY
VIOLENT PREDATOR A MINISTERIAL
FUNCTION AT THIS POINT OF
ANY GIVEN DEFENDANT'S CASE
IS NOT WHAT WAS ORIGINALLY
INTENDED BY THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE NOR SHOULD IT DO
SO NOW BY PASSING THIS BILL
THIS HEARING IS A CRITICAL
STAGE IN THE LITIGATION THAT
COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
AN INDIVIDUAL'S FREEDOM FOR
LIFE AB TWELVE FIFTY THREE
AS IT CURRENTLY READS WOULD
ALLOW HEARSAY EVIDENCE FROM
INCIDENTS WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL
WAS NEVER ARRESTED NEVER
CHARGED OR WHERE THEY DIDN'T
WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL WAS NEVER
CONVICTED OF A SEXUAL OFFENSE
IN FACT AB TWELVE FIFTY THREE
WOULD ALLOW HERE SAY THAT A
CHARGING DISTRICT FOR ATTORNEY
REJECTED AS INHERENTLY RELIABLE
OR A FACT FINDER JUDGE A
JURY ACQUITTED THE INDIVIDUAL
LOVE IT WOULD ALLOW HERE SAY
THAT THE JUDGE SITTING AS A
MAGISTRATES AT A PRELIMINARY
HEARING IN THE CRIMINAL CASE
HAD ALREADY FOUND DID NOT MEET
PROBABLE CAUSE TO HOLD THE
PERSON FOR TRIAL MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS WITH NO PERSONAL
KNOWLEDGE OF AN INCIDENT
DESCRIBED IN THE POLICE
REPORT COULD BE PERMITTED
TO BASE THEIR DIAGNOSIS OF
MENTAL HEALTH ON UNTESTED
UNRELIABLE HEARSAY THIS BILL
WOULD ALLOW TESTIMONY UNLIKE
CRIMINAL PRELIMINARY HEARINGS
WHICH LIMIT THE HERE SAY THAT
IS ADMISSIBLE TO STATEMENTS
TAKEN BY POST QUALIFIED AND
EXPERIENCED OFFICERS AB TWELVE
FIFTY THREE WOULD RENDER THE
SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATOR
ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL BECAUSE
IT WOULD ALLOW UNRELIABLE
HEARSAY TO BE USED TO DETAIN AN

CLEARLY STATES THAT THE IT'S
REGARDING A SEX OFFENSE THE
RESULT IN A PERSON'S CONVICTION
HI AND THIS IS A VERY VERY
NARROW HERE SAY EXEMPTION THAT
APPLIES SIMPLY TO A VICTIM WHO
WOULD HAVE A LACK OF NOTICE A
LACK OF ABILITY TO TESTIFY AND
IN A SEVERE OBVIOUSLY SEVERE
EMOTIONAL TRAUMA IN DOING SO SO
I THINK THIS IS A VERY COMMON
SENSE APPROACH TO -- TO THIS
MATTER AND WITH THAT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE

FORTY THREE AND INJURING
SIXTY EIGHT WE KNOW THAT LESS
GUNS ARE THE SOLUTION -- TO
ENDING GUN VIOLENCE HOWEVER
FOR THOSE WHO DO CHOOSE TO
CARRY A WEAPON A CONCEALED
CARRY WEAPON THE STATE MUST
ENSURE THAT THEY'RE PROPERLY
TRAINED AB ELEVEN THIRTY THREE
DIRECTS THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE TO DEVELOP STANDARDIZED
CURRICULUM AND MAKE STANDARDS
FREE AND EASY TO ACCESS THIS
BILL SETS THE BAR FOR THE
SAME FOR ALL TO ENSURE PROPER
TRAINING REGARDLESS OF WHERE
SOMEONE LIVES IN CALIFORNIA AND
JOINING ME TODAY IS A FIREARMS
INSTRUCTOR AUTHOR OF CONCEALED
CARRY WEAPONS IN CALIFORNIA
AND FORMER LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICER ROBERT GROSSMAN
YOU MAY PROCEED GOOD AFTERNOON
THANK YOU SEVERAL MEMBERS
JUST A QUICK BACKGROUND WHEN
I GOT MY FIRST CCW DECADES
AGO MY INSTRUCTOR SAT ME DOWN
AND HE DRANK A WHOLE POT OF
COFFEE AND TOLD ME KOREAN WAR
STORIES AND THAT WAS IT THAT
WAS MY EDUCATION FOR CCW SO
FOR HERE'S IN YEARS AND YEARS
I HAD BEEN CARRYING CONCEALED
IN PUBLIC -- AT SHOPPING
CENTERS AND PLAYGROUNDS AND
PARKS AND DOWNTOWNS WITHOUT
KNOWING A THING ABOUT CCW
WHEN I BECAME AN INSTRUCTOR IT
BECAME VERY OBVIOUS THAT THERE
WAS NO REAL -- AVAILABLE SET
OF INFORMATION TO INSTRUCTORS
SO THAT EVERYBODY CAN GET THE
SAME INFORMATION TO GIVE TO
THEIR APPLICANTS AND BECAUSE
OF THAT IN CALIFORNIA WE HAVE
A WIDE VARIETY OF CLASSES
AVAILABLE EIGHTEEN WE GET CALLS
FROM PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS WHO
ASKING IF I TEACH ANYTHING
AND THEN WHEN I TOLD HIM I DO
I HAVE A COMPLETE CURRICULUM
VERY POLITELY DECLINED BECAUSE
THEY CAN JUST GO TO ANOTHER
GUY AND GO OUT FOR COFFEE AND
PANCAKES GET THEIR CERTIFICATE
SO LOOKING ONLINE I EVEN FOUND
THERE'S A WHOLE RANGE OF THOSE
VERY FEW PUBLISH THEIR US
THEY'RE STILL ALIVE -- ONLINE
BUT THE ONES THAT DO THERE'S A
WIDE RANGE OF SYLLABUS SALIVA A
LITTLE FROM FRANTICALLY NOTHING
TO SOME OUTLOOK OKAY YOU'LL
SEE MINE IF YOU HAVE A COPY
OF IT IS PRETTY THOROUGH AB
ELEVEN THIRTY THREE WILL SOLVE
THE SITUATION BY -- MAKING IT
POSSIBLE FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS INCLUDING INSTRUCTORS
INCLUDING LAW ENFORCEMENT
INCLUDING APPLICANTS TO GET
INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN VETTED
AND RESEARCHED AND APPROVED
BY THE STATE RATHER THAN
RELYING ON THE OPINIONS AND THE
BELIEFS OF INSTRUCTORS OFTEN
WHO GATHER THAT INFORMATION
FROM THE INTERNET OR CHAT
ROOMS OR EVEN WORSE YOUTUBE
VIDEOS AB ELEVEN THIRTY THREE
DOES NOT IMPOSE ANY NOVEL OR
COUNTRY DURING A CONTROVERSIAL
CONCEPT THAT HASN'T ALREADY
BEEN IN PLACE ELSEWHERE IT
DOESN'T IMPLY THAT DOES NOT
IMPOSE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON
GUN OWNERSHIP OR USE FOR THE
USE OF -- CONCEALED KERRY OR
GETTING THOSE APPLICATIONS
IT JUST ESTABLISHES A
VERY MINIMUM STANDARD
OF EDUCATION FOR PEOPLE
WISHING TO CARRY A CONCEALED
CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW IS
IS CURRENTLY INCENTIVISING
INSTRUCTORS NOT TO TEACH --
BECAUSE IF YOU HAD A CHOICE
OF TAKING MY CLASS WHICH IS
REALLY HARD AND EIGHT HOURS
OF SOLID INFORMATION FOR
JUST GOING OUT TO COFFEE
WITH A GUY YOU PROBABLY JUST
GOT THE COFFEE WITH A GUIDE
TO RIGHT NOW CALIFORNIA'S
INCENTIVIZING CORE INSTRUCTION
AND INCENTIVIZING INSTRUCTORS
NOT TO TEACH BECAUSE THEY
GET A LOT OF CLIENTS BY DOING
THAT ASSEMBLY STRUCTURES
CLASSES CONSIST OF NO MORE
THAN JUST GOING OUT FOR COFFEE
INFORMATION FOR INSTRUCTORS
RIGHT NOW IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO ASSEMBLE -- ALL OF THE
ALL OF THE VARIOUS -- ALL
OF VARIOUS CODES THAT WE
HAVE IN CALIFORNIA CLASS
MATERIALS WHERE THEY GET
THAT MOST OF THEM ARE FINDING
THAT ONLINE YOU TO OTHER
PLACES LIKE THAT SIR IF
YOU COULD -- WRAP UP YEAH
I WOULD JUST ADD THAT TO
EVIDENCE THAT THERE ACTUALLY
IS A PROBLEM WITH THAT SCOTT
JONES THE EX THE EX SHERIFF OF
SACRAMENTO COUNTY HE REVOKED
NEARLY TWO HUNDRED PERMITS
AND A LOT OF THOSE REVOCATIONS
WERE THINGS THAT I TALKED TO
MY CLASS THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OKAY IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL
SUPPORT IN THE HEARING ROOM
THIRTY NINE IS THERE ANY
OPPOSITION PLEASE CONVERT
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN CORSO'S
-- ON BEHALF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION
IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
OF RESPECTFULLY THIS BILL
IS A SOLUTION IN SEARCH OF
A PROBLEM -- I HAVE TO ASK
-- RESPECTFULLY HOW MANY OF
THE MASS SHOOTINGS THAT WERE
REFERENCED AS HORRIBLE AND
VILE AS THEY ARE HOW MANY OF
THOSE WERE PERPETRATED BY CCW
HOLDERS I DON'T KNOW THAT IT
WAS ANY -- IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT THE SHARE OF THE
ISSUING AUTHORITY -- PUTS HIS
OR HER NAME ON THE LICENSE
THEY HAVE AN INTEREST IN
ASSURING AND APPROVING THAT
THERE ARE QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS
AND CURRICULA EXISTING LAW
SETS THE MINIMUM WAGE FOR
CCW COURSES -- WHICH IS NOT
LESS THAN EIGHT HOURS MORE
THAN SIXTEEN HOURS REQUIRES
COURSES TO INCLUDE INSTRUCTION
FIREARM SAFETY FIREARM HANDLING
SHOOTING TECHNIQUE THE LAWS
REGARDING THE PERMISSIBLE
USE OF FARM LAW REQUIRES
-- THE TRAINING COURSE TO
INCLUDE LIVE FIRE SHOOTING
EXERCISE A FIRING RANGE TO
INCLUDE A DEMONSTRATION BY THE
APPLICANT OF SAFE HANDLING OF
IN SHOOTING PROFICIENCY WITH
EACH FIREARM THE APPLICANT IS
POINTLESS THE KERRY LAW ALSO
REQUIRES LICENSING AUTHORITY TO
ESTABLISH AND MAKE AVAILABLE TO
THE PUBLIC THE STANDARDS THEY
USE WHEN THEY ISSUE LICENSES
WITH REGARDS TO LIVE FIRE
EXERCISES INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE MINIMUM NUMBER
OF ROUNDS TO BE FIRED IN THE
MINIMUM PASSING SCORES FROM
FIRE SPECIFIED FIRING DISTANCES
THIS IS MORE THAN HAVING A POT
OF COFFEE AND EATING PANCAKES
WE HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF
ANY ISSUES IN THIS A STATE THIS
BILL THE AUTHORITY ESTABLISHES
A FAIRLY STANDARD SO THE
CRITERIA WERE NOT FAMILIAR
WITH ANY INDICATION THAT THE
EXISTING TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
ARE RESULTING IN POORLY TRAINED
LICENSEES OR INCIDENTS THAT
RESULT FROM INSUFFICIENT
TRAINING WE THINK THIS BILL
WILL BE OVERLY BURDENSOME
TOWARD LITTLE DISCERNIBLE
BENEFIT WHAT CREATING COST
WORKLOAD FOR DOJ FOR WHICH
THEY ARE UNLIKELY TO BE FUN
SO RESPECTFULLY WE WOULD ASK
FOR YOUR NUMBER THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH IS THERE

APPRECIATE PEOPLE CALLING IN
WITH EXTENSIVE TRAINING AND
WE THINK THAT TRAINING AS PART
OF WHAT USED TO HAPPEN WHEN
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CARRY A
CONCEALED WEAPON -- AND BALD
THERE IS SOME TRAINING THAT
HAPPENS AROUND THE STATE IS
NOT STANDARDIZED THERE ARE NO
STANDARD EXPECTATIONS IN AS MY
WITNESS YOU KNOW RAISED IT'S
VERY HARD TO KEEP UP WITH ALL
OF THE LAWS THAT ARE PASSED
THAT WE'RE PASSING UP HERE --
WHEN IT COMES TO WEAPONS AND
CONCEALED CARRY WEAPONS AND
SO IT'S CRITICAL THAT I THINK
THE DOJ HAS A ROLE IN MAKING
SURE THAT THERE IS INFORMATION
AVAILABLE FOR INSTRUCTORS THAT
IT'S STANDARDIZED AND OTHERS
-- YOU KNOW THOSE EXPECTATIONS
THAT ANYONE WHO HAS THE RIGHT
TO CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON CAN
DO IT SAFELY AND THE PUBLIC IS
PROTECTED IN THAT PROCESS SO

YES THAT'S CORRECT YES OKAY
THAT'S WHY I JUST WANT TO LOOK
FOR YEP NO PROBLEM S.
R.
THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS WE
HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH -- MANY
STAKEHOLDERS SYSTEM MAKING
SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO --
PERFECT THIS BILL MORE MORE
BUT -- OVERALL -- IT SEEMS TO
BE A COMMON SENSE -- BILL THAT
PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY SUPPORT
OF OF -- I APPRECIATE THE
BILL I THINK -- THE THING IT'S
INTERESTING TO ME THAT YOU
KNOW CLEARLY MANY CONVERSATIONS
AROUND THESE TYPE OF ISSUES
GET CHARGED IT AT PEOPLE AND
I FEEL THAT -- WHAT ALL OF US
SHOULD RECOGNIZE IS THAT HUMANS
ARE WE NONE OF US ARE WITHOUT
BIAS IT IS A IT'S A SEMI HUMAN
CONDITION AND THAT -- WELL WE
CAN'T YOU KNOW MY BIAS MIGHT
BE DIFFERENT THAN YOUR BIAS OR
SOMEBODY ELSE IN THE DISS BIAS
WE WE NEED TO DO OUR BEST FOR
OUR WHEN WE ARE ESPECIALLY IN
TERMS OF -- IMPLEMENTING LAWS
RIGHT TO -- ADDRESS FOR LIMIT
THAT BUT -- AT LEAST RECOGNIZE
THAT BIASES MUCH AS POSSIBLE
AND I KNOW THERE'S A VARIETY
OF BILLS THAT ARE RECOGNIZING
THIS NOW -- DUE TO RESEARCH
THAT SHOWS THAT THERE'S BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATE EFFECTS AND
SO I SEE THIS BILL AS ANOTHER
ONE IN THAT HERE AND THAT A
LINE OF -- AREA WHICH EARNED
YOU KNOW NONE OF US LIKE TO
BE EITHER ACCUSED OF CERTAIN
BIASES BUT YOU KNOW WE'RE JUST
NOT OF US FOR FREE OF THEM SO
TO ME IT'S HI I FEEL THAT IT'S
NOT POINTING THE FINGER AT ANY
PARTICULAR -- PERSON OR OR OR
ANY PARTICULAR KIND OF BIAS
IT'S JUST AN RECOGNITION THAT
EXISTS AND THAT WE HAVE TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO ACCOMMODATE
FOR THAT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE
THE LEAST HARM FROM THOSE
NATURAL BY SEASON WITHOUT A
MOVE YOURSELF THANK YOU VERY
MUCH SENATOR FOR THOSE COMMENTS
I THINK OVERALL -- I MEAN I
HAVE A NUMBER OF ANTI RACISM
AND ANTI HATE BILL'S GOING TO
LEGISLATURE RIGHT NOW BUT I'LL
BE THE FIRST TO MEANT THAT I
HAVE BY A CITIES THAT I MUST
MAKE SURE THAT I KEEP IN COM
CHECK -- WHILE WE LEGISLATE A
WHILE WE INTERACT WITH PEOPLE
-- IN A WHILE WE EVEN -- YOU
KNOW GOING OUT GO AROUND ARE
DATED A -- INTERACTIONS AND SO
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT WE ALL
HAVE IT AND THE MORE THAT WE
CAN CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PEOPLE TO HAVE SELF REFLECTION
AND CHECKS AND BALANCES
THE BETTER OFFER SOCIETY
WILL BE THANK YOU FOR THAT
THANK YOU ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS CENTER
TROUBLE AND WHAT I THINK
FOR ME THANK YOU -- ASSEMBLY
WERE JACKSON AND I WERE BOTH
IN THE INLAND EMPIRE PERCENT
-- ARE THE INLAND EMPIRE I
HAVE BOTH RIVERSIDE IN SEMINOLE
COUNTY I'M KIND OF CURIOUS
HAS THERE BEEN ANY AND I MEAN
THAT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN
ONE OF OUR HAS HAVING ANY
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE SAN
MARINO POLICE DEPARTMENT
BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THEY
HAVE IN A POSITION -- WITH
-- WITH THE BILL AND THAT'S
-- CHIEF -- DURING GOOD MEN
I'M NOT SURE IF YOU HAVE ANY
CONVERSATIONS WITH HIM -- WITH
REGARDS TO ADDRESSING -- THE
CONCERNS WITH THE BILL AND
HOW YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO MOVE
FORWARD WHERE YOU COULD BRING
THEM ON BOARD SURE I I WOULD
SAY THAT NUMBER ONE I HAVE NOT
REACHED OUT -- OF COURSE SAY --
ACTUALLY WHILE IT WAS GOING TO
THE ASSEMBLY I DON'T THINK WE
HAD ANY OPPOSITION WHATSOEVER
FROM ANYONE SO THIS IS THE
FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE ACTUALLY
HAD REYES REGISTERED OPPOSITION
-- WE -- ANYONE WHO HAS --
OPPOSITION WITHIN F.
THEY REACH OUT TO US WE
ACTUALLY ASK THEM TO SUBMIT
LANGUAGE FOR US TO CONSIDER
OKAY -- AND IS TO MY KNOWLEDGE
WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY BUT
WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING WITH
POST BECAUSE I THINK SOME
HAVE GONE TO POST WITH SOME
CONCERNS -- AND THEN WE WORKED
OUT ANOTHER RANGE OF AMENDMENTS
THAT HAVE BEEN ADDED -- -- --
TO THIS BILL BUT WE'RE MORE
THAN HAPPY TO CONTINUE TO DO
SO -- AS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE
THROUGH THE PROCESS OKAY WELL I
HAVE A VERY CLOSE RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE SERRANO AND -- POLICE
DEPARTMENT SO I'M GONNA LAY
OFF THE BILL TODAY A MISTAKE
WITH THE FINAL LANGUAGES AND
I'M GONNA I'M ACTUALLY HAVE
-- -- IN -- AN APPOINTMENT
WITH THE CHIEF OF POLICE
