COMMITTEE AT THIS POINT AND
WE'LL BEGIN WITH OUR FIRST
AUTHOR WE HAVE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FRIEDMAN. HELLO MISS CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
AND YOUR COMMITTEE FOR WORKING
WITH US ON THIS BILL AB SEVEN
KOTA FIGHTS GUIDING PRINCIPLES
FOR STATE TRANSPORTATION
PLANNING AND GUIDELINE PROCESSES
AND REQUIRES TRANSPARENCY. FOR
HOW THE STATE IS ACHIEVING THESE
PRINCIPLES CALIFORNIA SPENDS
APPROXIMATELY THIRTY FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY IN OUR
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
AND WE'RE SET TO RECEIVE ANOTHER
FORTY BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. THE TRANSPORTATION
SECTOR HER REMAINS THE STATE'S
LARGEST SOURCE OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS AND THE SOURCES OUT IS
ON THE RISE DESPITE STATEWIDE
GHG EMISSION REDUCTION EFFORTS
AND INCREASINGLY AMBITIOUS
TARGETS. ACCORDING TO CARBS GHG
EMISSION INVENTORY THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR HAS GROWN
2401% OF CALIFORNIA'S TOTAL
EMISSIONS. AB SEVEN INSURERS ARE
CLIMATE EQUITY JOBS AND
MAINTENANCE SCHOOLS ARE
ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PROGRAM
PLANNING AND GUIDELINES PROCESS.
AS THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS POINTS
OUT THE PRINCIPLES OF THE
CLIMATE ACTION PLAN FOR
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
HERE AFTER FOREVER KNOWN AS CAP
TIE ALREADY BEING IMPLEMENTED.
IN JUNE AT THE TRANSPORTATION
COMMISSION APPROVED SB ONE
FUNDING FOR A SUITE OF PROJECTS
THAT INCLUDE MANAGED LANES
FREIGHT CORRIDORS OF BIKE LANES
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES AND
TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE ALL BASED
ON THE BALANCE OF CACTI
PRINCIPLES. AB SEVEN CHORES OF
THIS BALANCE IS MAINTAINED FOR
YEARS TO COME. CAPTA IS BASED ON
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER AND AB SEVEN
ENSURES THAT CALIFORNIA REMAIN
SERIOUS ABOUT TACKLING CLIMATE
IN THE TRANSPORTATION SECTOR NO
MATTER WHO IS GOVERNOR. AB SEVEN
ALSO ENSURES CONSISTENT
REPORTING AND ANALYSIS WITHIN
THE CALIFORNIA TRANSPORTATION
PLAN. INCLUDING THE BASIC
TRANSPARENCY FOR THE PUBLIC
ABOUT HOW WE ARE ACHIEVING STATE
AND FEDERAL GOALS EXAMPLE
PROJECTS THAT ARE HERE TO THESE
GOALS AND HOW APPLICABLE
PROGRAMS BENEFIT DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. THIS PROVIDES
CONSISTENCY AND WORK TO PROVIDE
MORE TRANSPARENCY TO THE
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. WE WILL NOT
ACHIEVE OUR STATED GOALS IF THEY
REMAIN THEORETICAL PLANS ON THE
SHELVES AS THEY ARE NOW AB SEVEN
STARTS TO MAKE THOSE PLANS A
REALITY. AND WITH THAT I WOULD
REQUEST RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN
AYE VOTE SB SEVEN IN. TODAY ARE
OLD WITH AGREE LIGHTING AND
SOPHIA. ROCK ABOUT BO A COLD FOR
CLEAN AIR. THANK YOU. ARE ARE
YOU WITNESSES HERE. THAT THEY
COMFORT WELCOME. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS CHERYL ST SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF THE GREEN LINING
INSTITUTE IN SUPPORT OF AB
SEVEN. GREEN LINING WORKS TO
BUILD A FUTURE WHERE COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR CAN BUILD WEALTH LIVING
HEALTHY PLACES FILLED WITH
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND ARE
READY TO MEET THE CHALLENGES
POSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE. THE
TWENTY FIFTY CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION REPORT IDENTIFIES
CLIMATE IN EQUITY AMONG THE
STATE'S TOP PRIORITIES. HOWEVER
THERE IS A CLEAR GAP BETWEEN
THESE PRIORITIES AND CURRENT
PRACTICES WHICH HAS BEEN
DOCUMENTED BY THE STRATEGIC
GROWTH COUNCIL. BY CONTINUING TO
INVEST IN PROJECTS THAT EXPAND
HIGHWAYS INCREASE VMT AND CREATE
GREATER CAR DEPENDENCY. WE
UNDERMINE THE STATE'S ABILITY TO
HIT CLIMATE TARGETS AND
PERPETUATE TRANSPORTATION
INEQUITY AS LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR CONTINUE TO
PAY THE HIGHEST COST FOR THESE
INVESTMENTS. CAPPED I BEGAN TO
MOVE THE NEEDLE ON THIS BY
LAYING OUT A PLAN TO GUIDE MORE
SUSTAINABLE EQUITABLE
INVESTMENTS BUT CURRENTLY THE
PLAN'S IMPACT IS LIMITED. CAPT I
ONLY CONCERNS A PORTION OF
DISCRETIONARY FUNDS TO MAKE
CLIMATE IN EQUITY GOALS A
REALITY. THEY MUST BE EMBEDDED
IN ALL INVESTMENTS SECONDLY
THERE'S A LACK OF DATA ON HOW
AND WHERE TRANSPORTATION DOLLARS
ARE BEING SPENT. AND LASTLY DOES
NOT YET IN STATUTE MAKING IT
VULNERABLE TO LEADERSHIP
CHANGES. AB SEVEN WOULD PROVIDE
THE MUCH NEEDED CLARITY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY INCORPORATING CAP
TIGHT WILL NOT BLOCK PROJECTS
BUT WILL ENCOURAGE THAT ALL
DOLLARS BE SPENT IN A WAY THAT
REFLECTS THE STATE'S PRIORITIES
IN COMMUNITIES NEEDS.
ADDITIONALLY THE DATA
REQUIREMENTS WILL ENABLE THE
STATE TO EFFECTIVELY IDENTIFY
AND ADDRESS TRANSPORTATION
DISPARITIES. ULTIMATELY MOVING
THIS LEGISLATION FORWARD
ACTUALIZE THE STATE'S COMMITMENT
TO BUILDING A TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEM THAT REFLECTS OUR STATE'S
PRIORITIES. THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK ON THIS
ISSUE AND I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR AYE VOTE. THEY YOU VERY
MUCH AND PLEASE COME FORWARD.
THEIR CHART GONZALEZ AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I'M SOPHIA
AFRICA POLICY ADVOCATE WITH THE
COALITION FOR CLEAN AIR SPEAKING
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF AB SEVEN
AND- DRIVE OUT TODAY. CLIMATE
CHANGE AS A PRESSING ISSUE IN
OUR STATE FROM HEAT WAVES TO
DROUGHTS RISING SEA LEVELS AND
SMOGGY SKIES CLIMATE CHANGE
THREATENS OUR HEALTH ENVIRONMENT
AND QUALITY OF LIFE. THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS THE
LARGEST CONTRIBUTOR TO CLIMATE
CHANGE AS A REPRESENTS NEARLY
50% OF THE STATE'S GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS ONE UPSTREAM
EMISSIONS ARE INCLUDED.
TRANSPORTATION IS ALSO THE
LEADING CAUSE OF AIR POLLUTION
WHICH CAN LEAD TO LONG CANCER
ASTHMA HEART ATTACKS EVEN
PREMATURE DEATH. DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES ARE SPECIALLY
AFFECTED AS THEY'RE MORE LIKELY
TO LIVE NEAR AREAS IMPACTED BY
UNHEALTHY AIR SUCH AS NEAR
HIGHWAYS AND FREIGHT QUARTERS.
WELL CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN FOCUSED
ON COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE
MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE COME OUT
SAYING THAT OUR EFFORTS IN THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR ARE NOT
ENOUGH. IN PARTICULAR SB ONE
FIFTY A REPORT HIGHLIGHTS THAT
NEARLY ALL MPO REGIONS HAVE
EXPERIENCED AN INCREASE IN
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
VEHICLES MILES TRAVELED IN THE
LAST FOUR YEARS. DESPITE EFFORTS
TO REDUCE SOME. ADDITIONALLY THE
AB TWO EIGHTY FIVE REPORT FOUND
THAT ONLY 2% OF OUR CURRENT
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING GOES TO
PROJECTS ALIGNED WITH OUR
CLIMATE MANDATES THE DATA IS
CLEAR. WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS ARE LINE
WHERE STATES CLIMATE EFFORTS IF
WE ARE TO EVER MEET OUR TARGETS
TO PROTECT OUR CITIZENS FROM THE
DEADLY EFFECTS OF POOR AIR
QUALITY. AND CLIMATE CHANGE
EIGHTY SEVEN IS A VERY IMPORTANT
STEP IN THIS DIRECTION AS WILL
ENSURE OUR TRANSPORTATION
VESTMENTS. A SORRY PROGRESS AND
MEETING CLIMATE GOALS RATHER
THAN WORKING CLASS PURPOSES.
THIS BILL WILL SUPPORT THE
CONSTRUCTION OF CLIMATE FRIENDLY
PROJECTS THE BILL SUSTAINABLE
AND MULTI MODAL TRANSPORTATION
SYSTEMS REDUCE CREEK GREENHOUSE
GAS AND VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED.
AND TO MAKE TRANSIT AND ACTIVE
TRANSPORTATION MORE SENSIBLE IT
WILL ALSO HELP PROTECT OUR MOST
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES. AS THEY
WILL INVEST IN ZERO AS- PROMOTE
PROJECTS AND INVEST IN ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE ADDRESS
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE IMPACTS.
ESPECIALLY FROM YOUR FREAK.
COMMUNITIES A. B. SEVEN OH SURE
THAT CALIFORNIA REMAINS. I
LEADER. IN PROMOTING CLIMATE SO
. FOR THIS WE YOU TO- RESPECT
ASK RIVAL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH

CONCERNED SO. MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS AGAIN SILVIO FOR ABOUT
THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION- OUR OVERARCHING
CONCERN THAT I THINK IS.
BECOMING MORE AND MORE APPARENT
TO US AS WE LOOK AT THE
AMENDMENTS AND SEE WHERE THIS
CONVERSATION IS GOING IS THAT WE
ARE TAKING A DOCUMENT. THAT IS
NOT MANDATORY TODAY. THE DOES
NOT HAVE LEGALLY BINDING TEETH
TODAY AND WE'RE GONNA PUT IT IN
STATUTE AND NOW GIVE IT EXACTLY
THAT- THERE IS ADDITIONAL
PROVISIONS THAT GO THROUGH THE
GUIDANCE DOCUMENT AND PICK OUT
SPECIFIC PRINCIPLES AND SAY
WE'RE ONLY GOING TO DO THOSE
ONES. SORRY CONCERNS ARE THAT
THE PRACTICAL REALITY IS GOING
TO BE THAT WE PET PRINCIPLES
AGAINST PRINCIPLES. THAT WE NOW
GIVE OPPONENTS OF TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS AN ADDITIONAL TOOL FOR
SEQUEL LITIGATION. AND THEN THE
MOST RECENT AMENDMENTS OF THE
BILL ACTUALLY GO IN AND REMOVE.
SOME PRETTY COMMON SENSE TERMS
LIKE REASONABLE AND FEASIBLE
THAT WE PUT IN THE BILLS ALL THE
TIME NOW. IN THE LEGISLATURE
WHEN WE'RE SAYING HEY AIR
RESOURCE BOARD OR ENERGY
COMMISSION CONSIDER THESE IF
YOU'RE GOING FOR THE DOCTOR TO
MAKE SURE THESE THINGS ARE
FEASIBLE AND ACHIEVABLE. AND
DOABLE WILL THIS JUST REMOVE
THEM IN THE MOST RECENT
AMENDMENT SO WE ARE CONCERNED-
WE KNOW THIS IS GONNA BE AN
ONGOING CONVERSATION LOOK FOR TO

I KNOW THERE'S CONTINUING
DISCUSSIONS AS WELL THAT I KNOW

THANK YOU IF YOU'RE A FEW
LOOKING TO CLOSE YOU HERE WE
HAVE TO CLOSE WHICH- NEVER
REALLY HAD A REALLY CLOSE TO
OTHER LET'S JUST TALK OUT. SO I
DO OF COURSE IS SIMPLY MY
STUDENTS THIS IS. VERY SIMILAR
TO BILL YOU DIDN'T YEAR CRAP
TWENTY FOURTH EIGHT IT'S SIMILAR
IN TERMS OF ITS EVENTUAL GOAL
BUT IT'S A- DIFFERENT IN TERMS
OF ITS AND- ENSURE A DIFFERENT
LIKE IN. WRITING AND I SAY THE
IN LIGHT OF THE- VETO MESSAGE
SHOULD GO AHEAD THE DIFFERENCE
THAT THE OTHER BILLS A LOT MORE
FOR. IT HAD DAY. IT'S A OF HAD A
LOT OF SHELLS. THIS BILL IS SORT
OF AS YOUR THIS BILL GIVES- A
LOT OF LEEWAY. IT GIVES A LOT OF
OUT. AND IT BASICALLY GIVES I
WOULD SAY ENCOURAGEMENT AND NOT
HAVE TIMELINE AND WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS IT ENCOURAGES THE PUT
THE PRINCIPLES OF CACTI. TO BE
INCORPORATED INTO THE PLANNING
PROCESS. AND SO. I GUESS WHETHER
WITH THE GOVERNOR'S VETO MESSAGE
LAST YEAR WHICH WAS- AGAIN A
QUOTE LET LINKING THESE PROGRAMS
AND STATUTES TO A SPECIFIC
ITERATIONS PLAN INHIBITS. THE
STATE'S ABILITY TO APPROPRIATE
RESPOND THE EVOLUTION OF THE
STATE'S RESPONSE EXACT TIME TO
CHANGE. SORRY IT'S THAT TERM
SPECIFIC. AND SO WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION WERE IN CONSTANT
CONTACT WITH THEM. TO MAKE THIS
LESS PRESCRIPTIVE LESS ABOUT
SPECIFIC- OF IMPLEMENTATION AND
MORE ABOUT GOAL SETTING. AND
TRANSPARENCY ON A BIG PIECE OF
THIS LET'S NOT FORGET IS FOR THE
FOR US AND THE PUBLIC. TO BE A
TO START TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
PROJECTS ARE BEING PLANNED FOR
AND WHETHER THEY DO OR DO NOT-
ALIGNED WITH ALL OF THESE GOALS
LIKE EQUITY AND CLIMATE. SO IT'S
NOT SO PRESCRIPTIVE IT'S MORE
ABOUT THE- THE REPORTING WHICH
RIGHT NOW DOES NOT EXIST. AND
AGAIN ASKING THEM TO INCORPORATE
THIS AND I WILL ALSO SAY THAT
YESTERDAY THE GOVERNOR SIGNED AN
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL WE WERE ALL
AT THE CEREMONY. ONE OF THOSE IS
TO STREAMLINE. THE PROJECTS THAT
INCORPORATE CACTI THAT DO
EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE ASKING BUT
BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN STATUTE
THAT SAYS YOUR PROJECT IN THE
PLANNING PROCESS. SHOULD BE
CONSIDERING CACTI SO WE'RE
TRYING TO BRING EVERYTHING INTO
ALIGNMENT. AND SO IT YOU KNOW
AMONG THE SORT OF CONCERNS ABOUT
THE BILL AS I UNDERSTAND IT.
RELATES SPECIFICALLY TO SB ONE
INSTANTLY SB ONE PROJECTS THAT
ARE. UNDERWAY AND THAT THERE'S A
CONCERN THE DISK DID DID ADDING
THE CAPS I ONLY COULD. ADD NEW
REQUIREMENTS YES BE PRO SB ONE
PROGRAM THAT COULD THEIR COULD
ALTER- EITHER THERE'S- FOR THE
PROGRESS. I HAVE USED- IN TERMS
OF THINGS WE WITH OF WITHOUT.
ONE LIKE MAINTENANCE THIS NOT AT
ALL. I TOUCH MAKE IT DOES YOU WE
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT ROADS ARE.
WE WANT TO MAKE THAT WE CAN TO
THAT PROGRAM. THIS IS REALLY
ABOUT PLANNING FOR NEW PROJECTS
GOING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE WE
ARE NOW INCORPORATING EQUITY.
INCORPORATING CLIMATE AND REALLY
THINKING AS WE SPEND MONEY ABOUT
WHAT OUR WERE OUR GOALS ARE AS A
STATE. BUT IT BANANA VERY NON
PRESCRIPTIVE WAY. ENSURE MANAGER
IF IT'S OKAY CAN WE CAN I. HAVE
ONE OF THE WITNESSES SPEAK TO
THIS. ALL RIGHT ORANGE COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY MORE
RESCUE TEAM. DIVERSITY THESE
COME IN I THINK THE REP. SIMPLY
CONSERVE. SORRY TO MAKE YOU WALK
ALL THIS WAY. AND THEY STARTED
IF YOU COULD I MEAN IF YOU SPEAK
TO JOHN HUSING AGAIN- SECURES.
FAIRLY TYPICAL E. OR CONCERNS AS
THEY RELATE. TO FUNDING AND
PROJECTS. WELL I THINK I'M- SO.
THROUGH THE CHAIR. THE CONCERN
THAT OUR AGENCY- FACES IS. QUITE
HONESTLY SOME OF THE AMBIGUITY-
THAT. WILL RESULT WHEN WE HAVE
A- A AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT'S
BEING PUT INTO STATUTE WITHOUT A
LOT OF- WITHOUT A LOT OF DETAIL
AND QUITE FRANKLY WITH SOME
INCONSISTENCIES WITH IN- WITHIN
THE TERMINOLOGY. AND THE
UNCERTAINTY OF WHAT THAT LOOKS
LIKE IN THE OUT YEARS- I THINK
THE WITNESS WHO CAME UP BEFORE
ARTICULATED A LOT OF OUR
CONCERNS IN TERMS OF- THE FACT
THAT SOME OF THE TERMINOLOGY
ABOUT REASONABLENESS AND
FEASIBILITY WHAT WE SEE OVER AND
OVER AND I'M- IN LEGISLATION
WITHOUT WITHOUT THOSE WORDS.
GIVES THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH- KIND
OF LATITUDE AND MAYBE
UNCERTAINTY ON THEIR PART- THAT
THAT THEN REFLECTS FOR THE LOCAL
AGENCIES DOWN TO LOCAL AGENCIES
IN TERMS OF WHAT IS EXPECTED OF
US AND WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN
ACTUALLY DELIVER THE PROJECTS.
THAT ARE CONSTITUENTS HAVE ASKED
US TO DO YEAH A APPRECIATE ACT I
THINK I MEAN. YOU KNOW I THINK
THAT OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD JUST
WAIT ONE MOMENT TO SHALL WE HAVE
ESTABLISHED A QUORUM SO I JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE WE CAPTURE THAT
FIRST MY APOLOGIES FOR
INTERRUPTING. A MADAM SECRETARY
CAN WE ESTABLISH A QUORUM FIRST
. IN CASE GONZALEZ. CONSOLES
HERE LOW. HELLO HERE OUT. HERE
ALLEN HERE ARCHULETA YOUR SHORT
BAKER. BAKER HERE BLAKE SPEIR.
LAKE SUPERIOR TESSIE. CORTESE
HERE DOLLY. DOW HERE TO WRESTLE
. WHERE WE- MEGA. NEWMAN YOU
MEAN HERE WHEN. SAY YOUR C. R.
TO HEAR NUMBER. OKAY THANK YOU.
MADAM SAT THINK WE'VE- A QUORUM
SO WE ARE GOOD SENATOR E. S. U.
S. MEMBERS YOU WOULD LIKE YOU IF
YOU COULD SPEAK TO THAT IN THE
CONCERN ABOUT. YOU KNOW YEAH
UNDERSTAND YOU TRY TO MAKE LESS
WHICH PRESCRIPTIVE BUT ABOUT HIM
- AND ABOUT YOU KNOW PROSPECT-
SERVE COM MOTOR MOVING TO YEAH
IS A LITTLE I RUN WE'RE TRYING
BE IT LESS FIRST. AND SO NOW THE
AMBIGUITIES IS BROUGHT UP AS A
AS AN ISSUE WE'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH A VERY LARGE GROUP OF
STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING ORANGE
COUNTY AND MANY OTHERS AND THE
REASONABLE WORD WAS REMOVED I
THINK AND COST EFFECTIVE WAS PUT
IN BUT WE'RE HAPPY TO PUT
REASONABLE BACK AS WELL WE'RE-
COMMITTED TO CONTINUING WORKING
WITH ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDERS
WE'VE HAD VERY PRODUCTIVE
CONVERSATIONS WHICH IS WHY YOU
DON'T SEE. NEARLY THE OPPOSITION
THAT THE SORT OF EARLIER
PERMUTATION OF THE SPELL HAD AND
I DO THINK THAT IF WE CONTINUE
THE CONVERSATION WE CAN GET
SOMETHING BUT BUT YOU KNOW THE
FACT THAT WE HAD AN EXECUTIVE
ORDER. BUT HADN'T GONE HAD GO
THROUGH POLICY COMMITTEE IS
EXACTLY WHY WE'RE HERE- THERE
WAS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT OUR
AGENCIES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
OPERATING UNDER AND YET WE
DIDN'T HAVE ANY POLICY BILL THAT
HAD WORKED THROUGH COMMITTEE TO
SEE HOW WE'RE GOING TO
IMPLEMENT. THE EXECUTIVE ORDER
IS THE REASON THAT WE ARE AT
THIS PLACE RIGHT NOW SO WITHOUT
US TAKING ACTION WE END UP WITH
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT IS THEY
SAY MAYBE IS EVEN LESS CLEAR
THAT IF WE HAVE A POLICY BILL
THAT GIVES SOME PARAMETERS AND
JUST AS IMPORTANTLY THE
TRANSPARENCY SO THAT WE CAN SEE
THE REPORTING TO SEE. HOW THESE
AGENCIES ARE ACTUALLY COMPLYING
OR NOT COMPLYING. WITH THAT
EXECUTIVE ORDER. THAT'S WHAT
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK ON FOR
THE PAST FEW YEARS AND I THINK
IT'S- IT'S BEEN VERY PRODUCTIVE
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO COMMIT.
TO WORKING WITH EVERYBODY. TO
MAKE SURE WE END UP WITH
SOMETHING THAT IS. USEFUL TO ALL
OF OUR AGENCIES AS THEY TRY TO
ACHIEVE. ALL OF THOSE GOALS
WHICH I KNOW THEY SHARON AND
THAT. WE ALL SHARE TOGETHER. JOE
MY LAST QUESTION ANY TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE GOVERNOR
CONCERNS. LAST YEAR ABOUT. IT
AND SORT OF. INCORPORATE THIS
INTO STATUTE- BECAUSE I THINK
SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED THAT. IN
IN A REPORT ON CAP TO
IMPLEMENTATION WILL BE ISSUED
EACH YEAR EACH AGENCIES.
ENDEAVORING TO SORT OF MEET THE
GOALS. AND YOU WAS QUICKLY
AFFECT RESPONSE. AT HOW HOW DO
WE THINK YOU KNOW. IS THE VALUE
- AND- IN IN. TO GET CREATING. A
STATUE. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO. THE
ADMINISTRATION CAN. APPLYING THE
BEST. EVER IT'S- THE DIFFERENCES
I. THAT THE- BILL IS A- FOCUSED
ON THE PLANNING. BECAUSE THIS
PART. TAKE ME. YEARS TO GO
THROUGH AND- REVIEWS. AND MOST
OF WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM SORT OF.
THE GOVERNOR'S EFFORTS HAVE BEEN
AT THE PROJECT LEVEL. BUT BY THE
TIME THE PROJECTS PLANNED AND
FUNDED IT IN SOME WAYS IT'S
ALMOST TOO LATE AND YOU REALLY
WANT TO BE LOOKING AT WHAT
THEY'RE PLANNING ON HOW THEY'RE
PRIORITIZING THOSE PROJECTS. WE
ALL THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN IN
LOCAL GOVERNMENT KNOW WHEN YOU
HAVE YOU KNOW YOUR SANDAG OR
YOUR SKAGGS. YOU'VE GOT THIS
HUGE LAUNDRY LIST OF PROJECTS
BUT HOW ARE THEY ACTUALLY
ELEVATING SOME PROJECTS ABOVE
OTHERS. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
TRYING TO GET THEM TO LOOK AT
WHICH IS AS YOU'RE PLANNING.
THINK ABOUT CAP TIE. WHATEVER IT
WHAT TO. TO THE FACT THAT IT'S
REASONABLE AND COST EFFECTIVE WE
WANT YOU TO BE THINKING ABOUT
EQUITY WE WANT YOU TO BE
THINKING ABOUT EMISSIONS. AS
YOU'RE DOING GOING THROUGH YOUR
PLANNING PROCESS AND THIS IS WE
BELIEVE A VERY GENTLE NUDGE IN
THAT DIRECTION. SO THAT ARE ARE
YOU OPEN TO MAKING ALLOWANCES
FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY
APPROVED IN. IN THE PIPELINE SIT
SO THAT. AT ANY POINT DURING THE
PROCESS THEY'RE NOT- TAKEN
OFFLINE BECAUSE OF NEW. YOU
KNOW. NEW REQUIREMENTS THAT MAY
BE VERY CLEAR THERE'S NOTHING IN
THIS LEGISLATION THAT CAN STOP A
PROJECT NOTHING. THERE'S NOTHING
THAT DERAILS ANYTHING- THERE'S
JUST. THERE'S NO MECHANISM HERE
TO DO ANY OF THAT. THANK YOU MAY
. OKAY THANK YOU SENATE INTIMATE
CENTERS. THANK YOU- SO THE-
FIRST QUESTION I HAVE IS IF
THERE'S NO. IN HERE THAT HAMPERS
ANYTHING. THAT THEN WHY DO WE
HAVE THIS BILL. AND I'M WHY
WOULD WE EVEN HAVE IT. IT WAS
NOTHING IN HERE THAT'S- TO
CHANGE ANYTHING. WELL FOR ONE
THING BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A
REPORTING OF WHAT HOW THE
PROJECTS ARE COMPLYING WITH THIS
OF EXECUTIVE ORDER. AND WE WANT
TO SEE IS THERE PLANNING WHAT IS
THE PROCESS THAT THAT OUR
AGENCIES ARE GOING THROUGH. TO
BE. ACCOUNTABLE TO FULFILLING
THOSE GOALS THAT WE HAVE. OF
REDUCING EMISSIONS AND OTHERWISE
AND WE DO THINK THAT HAVING THEM
THINKING ABOUT THAT IN PREPARING
THAT REPORT. WILL SHOW THEM AND
ALSO THE LOCAL ELECTED THAT MAKE
UP THESE PLANNING BOARDS.
WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE COMPLYING
WITH OUR STATE SCHOOLS. OKAY SO.
SEEK WHAT DOES COVER. ALL OF
THOSE WOULD DURING THE PROCESS
OF TRYING TO PLAN A PROJECT.
WELL WHAT HOW THIS BE. THAN WHAT
SEEK WAS ALREADY DOING IN OTHER
WORDS ARE WE ADDING ANOTHER
LAYER. OF DOING EXACTLY WHAT
WE'RE ALREADY DOING WITH SIKA.
NO SICK WHAT DOES MEASURE
IMPACTS BUT SEE WHAT DOES NOT
COMPARE PROJECTS HEAD TO HEAD.
THE WAY THAT YOU WOULD DO AND I
WAS ON CCAC FOR NUMBER OF YEARS.
AND SEE WHAT WAS SOMETHING THAT
WAS DONE LONG AFTER THE PLANNING
PROCESS. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF
THE BENEFITS OF THOSE SEQUEL OF
THAT SEE WHAT ALICE'S WHEN WE
WERE PRIORITIZING PROJECTS. WHAT
THIS DOES IS IT ADDS THAT THE
PLANNING PROCESS YOU ARE
THINKING ABOUT. ARE YOU
INCREASING OR DECREASING
EMISSIONS IS THERE A BETTER WAY
TO REDUCE CONGESTION THAT'S MORE
EQUITABLE. AND ASK YOU TO
INCORPORATE ALL OF THE THINGS
THAT THE THAT CAP TIE IN THE
EXECUTIVE ORDERS ASKING THE
STATE TO DO. RIGHT AT THE
PLANNING PROCESS IT'S VERY
DIFFERENT THAN A C. FOR PROCESS.
ALL RIGHT SIR I ALSO SET ON THE
TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE FOR
SKAGIT ONE TIME. AS WELL AS OUR
CTC AND AS WELL AS W. R. COG.
AND ALL OF THEM WERE INVOLVED IN
IN TRYING TO PLAN. ONLY THE AREA
THAT WE'RE PLANNING FOR IS MUCH
DIFFERENT- JANETTE SOME OF THE
AREAS THAT YOU'RE- YOU'RE
FAMILIAR WITH. AND THE PROBLEM
THAT WE'RE HAVING OUT IN THE
LESS DEVELOPED AREAS. ARE THAT
OUR ROADS AREN'T THERE YET. AND
IF WE DON'T GET THESE BILL THESE
ROADS BUILT. TO THE SAME. LEVEL
THAT WE HAVE AN ORANGE COUNTY L.
A. COUNTY. AND SOME OF THE AND
SAN DIEGO COUNTIES EVEN- IT'S
GONNA BE HARD TO JUSTIFY
ACCOMMODATING THE HOUSING. THAT
THEY WANT TO GO OUT THERE- WHICH
MEANS WE'RE GOING TO BE
INFRASTRUCTURE STARVED. IF WE
TRY IT. AND WHEN YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT EQUITY- FOR- COMMUNITIES
ARE DISADVANTAGED. THERE ARE
PLENTY OF THOSE. OUT IN STAMINA
DINO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES AND
OTHERS LIKE THEM. THAT NEED
ROADS. AND SO THE EXPECTATION
WITH SB ONE. FROM PEOPLE OUT IN
OUR REGION. ARE A LOT DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT I'M HEARING NOW WHICH
IS. WE WANT TO BUILD LESS ROADS
. AND WE WANT TO SPEND MORE THE
MONEY OR BE MORE FOCUSED ON.
RAIL AND BIKE LANES AND THINGS
LIKE THAT IN AREAS THAT ALREADY
HAVE THE ROADS. SO IT. THIS THIS
LOOKS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE. IT'S
GOING TO HAMPER THE PROCESS
THAT'S ALREADY EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT. TO GET THROUGH AND
FUND THE ROADS THAT NEED TO BE
BUILT IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE
HOUSING SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY
ACCOMMODATE PLACES FOR THOSE
PEOPLE TO WORK SO THEY CAN NOT
HAVE TO COMMUTE AS FAR. BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE
63% OF THEM IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN
FROM THE INLAND EMPIRE AREAS.
HAVE TO COMMUTE. AT LEAST FORTY
FIVE MILES. SOMETIMES AS MUCH AS
A HUNDRED MILES. TO GO TO JOB
CENTERS THAT ARE OUT ORANGE
COUNTY SAN DIEGO AND LA. AND.
YOU'RE SAYING THIS BILL WON'T DO
ANYTHING TO STOP THAT BUT AT THE
SAME TIME IT'S PUTTING INTO
STATUTES SOMETHING THAT DOES. SO
I'M I'M TRYING TO GRASP. HOW
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAMPER THE
EFFORTS OF THE AREAS THAT AREN'T
- DEVELOPED AS MUCH YET. AND
ACCOMMODATE WHAT THE STATE X.
EXPECTATIONS ARE AS FAR AS
PARTICIPATING. IN THAT
DEVELOPMENT FOR HOUSING AND JOBS
AND THE ECONOMY AND ALL OF THOSE
THINGS. AND THE TRAFFIC THAT WE
HAVE OUT IN THOSE AREAS. IS
CONTRIBUTING MORE. TO THE AIR
POLLUTION. AND GREENHOUSE GAS
ISSUES. WHILE THESE CARS ARE
SITTING IN TRAFFIC FOR TWO TO
THREE HOURS. AND EVEN IF WE ARE
ABLE TO TRANSFER ALL OF OUR CARS
OVER INTO ELECTRIC VEHICLES
ELECTRIC VEHICLES NEED ROADS TO
DRIVE ON TO. RIGHT NOW THERE'S
ESTIMATES IT'LL TAKE A HUNDRED
AND THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS OVER
THE NEXT TEN YEARS. JUST TO FIX
OUR ROADS. AND THAT'S WHAT
PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS WERE A LOT
OF PEOPLE'S EXPECTATIONS WERE
WHEN SB ONE PASSED. WAS THAT OUR
ROADS WOULD BE PRISTINE ROADS
LIKE THEY HAVE ANOTHER OTHER-
STATE. BUT THEY'RE NOT OR FORTY
SEVEN. IN ROAD BUILDING. SO I
DON'T SEE HOW THIS FURTHERS US
ALONG. BOTH OF THOSE THINGS
EFFORT THIS IS FURTHERS US ALONG
IN ONE RESPECT. BUT IT DOESN'T
FOR THE- I TAKING TOO MUCH TIME
BUT NO SORRY SORRY I THOUGHT
SOMEONE MIGHT BE SENDING HIM AND
I JUST WANTED ARE YOU. ALMOST
OKAY GO AHEAD IF IT DOESN'T
FURTHER US ALONG IN THE OTHER.
AND WE NEED SOMETHING THAT'S A
LITTLE MORE BALANCED AND THAT'S
WHY I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
BILL THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S NOT.
AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE
FEEDBACK I JUST WANNA REMIND
MEMBERS WE HAVE TWENTY. OF QUITE
A FEW BILLS TWENTY TWO PLUS
BILLS ON ON FILE AND WE RESPECT
EVERYBODY'S DIALOGUE HERE IF YOU
WANNA- MENTION AND ADRESS THAT
IN YOUR CLOTHES WE DO HAVE
SENATOR BIG BREAKS VERY ALSO HAS
A QUESTION OR COMMENT. YES THANK
YOU I'LL JUST BE BRIEF I KNOW WE
HAVE A LOT OF BILLS BUT I JUST
WANT TO VOICE SUPPORT FOR THIS
BILL IN THE BIGGEST PICTURE WE
SPEND AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF TIME
ON OUR- EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS
GOALS TALKING ABOUT HOW WE CAN
DO BETTER WHEN IT COMES TO
FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE. AND THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR IS THE
SINGLE LARGEST EMITTER AND WE
ARE ACTUALLY GOING UP SO IN THE
LAST FIVE YEARS WE'VE GONE. UP
IN PERCENTAGE POINTS SO WE'RE
NOW AT FORTY ONE PERCENT. AND SO
THE IDEA OF ALIGNING OUR
PLANNING PROCESS WITH OUR GOALS
MAKES A LOT OF SENSE JUST IN THE
BIGGEST PICTURE AND OUR GOVERNOR
IS ALREADY DONE THAT WITH THE
EXECUTIVE ORDER. SO TO ME THE
IDEA THAT WE WOULD CODIFY THIS
AND STATUTE IS THE NEXT STEP AND
WE NEED TO DO THAT IF WE'RE
GOING TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT
MEETING THESE GOALS. THIS BILL
DOES THAT AND GETS US MOVES US
IN THAT DIRECTION AND SO I
SUPPORT THIS COMPLETELY AND I
JUST THINK IF. THERE'S NO OTHER
OPTION FOR US TO IF WE'RE GOING
TO BE SERIOUS ABOUT MEETING
THOSE GOALS THAN MOVING FORWARD
WITH CODIFYING AND STATUTE SO I
JUST WANTED TO. PUT THAT OUT
THERE BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE
LOTS OF DIFFERENT- REASONS THAT
IT SEEMS LIKE THERE ARE CONCERNS
ABOUT SUPPORTING IT BUT- REALLY
IT IT DESERVES SUPPORT. THIS IS
A GOOD BILL. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU CENTER BLIXEN WILL TAKE THAT
AS A MOTION SO I'VE I THINK
WE'VE CONCLUDED QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS. ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. I WOULD JUST
SAY THAT- I. APPRECIATE THE
SENATORS CONCERNS THERE'S
NOTHING IN THIS BILL THAT TAKES
MONEY AWAY FROM REPAIRING ROADS.
IT DOESN'T HAVE HANDICAP. OF
COMMUNITIES FROM ADDING NEW
ROADS. I WOULD HOPE THAT AS
DEVELOPING COMMUNITIES DEVELOP.
THEY LOOK AT THE MISTAKES HAVE
BEEN MADE BY MANY OF OUR URBAN
ADVISED AREAS. WERE ADDING MORE
MORE HIGHWAYS AND WIDENING MORE
MORE HIGHWAYS HAS NOT LED TO
FREE FLOWING TRAFFIC. BUT IT'S
DONE EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE. AN
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF
CONGESTION THAT WE HAVE WITHOUT
OFFERING PEOPLE ACTUAL.
SOLUTIONS. THAT MOVE THEM AROUND
IN A WAY THAT'S MORE EQUITABLE.
LIKE HAVING REALLY ROBUST
PUBLIC. AND REALLY ROBUST. OTHER
KINDS OF INFRASTRUCTURE. IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO.
TURN THE CLOCK BACK ON IN LOS
ANGELES WE'RE DESPERATELY TRYING
TO ADD THAT FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T
DRIVE. CAN'T AFFORD TO DRIVE.
PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JUST NOT SIT
FOR HOURS IN TRAFFIC JUST TO GET
FROM ONE SIDE OF THEIR OWN CITY
TO THE OTHER. THERE ARE BETTER
THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN DO
THAT ARE COMPLEMENTARY EVEN TO
ADDING ROADS. AND ALL WE'RE
ASKING IS FOR US TO TAKE A PAUSE
AND THINK ABOUT. WHAT THOSE
OPTIONS ARE AS WE PLANNED FOR A
VARIETY OF PROJECTS I'VE BEEN TO
YOUR COMMUNITY. TALKING TO YOUR
TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES AND
THERE ARE WONDERFUL AN
ASPIRATIONAL. AND VERY VERY
PROGRESSIVE. PLANNING PROJECTS
THAT THEY WANT TO GET DONE BUT
THEY WANT TO MOVE. THEY'RE
LOOKING FOR THINGS TO HELP ALSO
GET THEM THE FUNDING THAT THEY
NEED TO DO THOSE. BUT PART OF IT
ALSO STARTS WITH THE-
UNDERSTANDING FROM ALL OF THE
ELECTED'S OF WHAT THE GOALS ARE.
AND HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD
TOGETHER TO DO THINGS THAT ARE-
BENEFIT FOR ALL COMMUNITIES
ESPECIALLY COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
DEVELOPING. AND WITH THAT I
WOULD REQUEST AN AYE VOTE. THANK
YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER MADAM
SECRETARY CAN YOU PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL WITH THE MOTION BY
SENATOR PER EXPECT. THIS IS FILE
ITEM NUMBER ONE AB SEVEN THE
MOTION IS DUE PASSED TO THE
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.

NO. SIR TO KNOW NUMBER. OKAY THE
BILL HAS FIVE LEAVE IT ON CALL.
THANK YOU YOU HAVE THE SECOND
FILE ITEM WHICH IS AB TWELVE
FIFTY. RED HAT. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS I WANT TO
FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU AND YOUR
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR ALL THEIR
HARD WORK AND- WORK ON THIS BILL
WE'RE GONNA BE ACCEPTING THE
PROPOSED COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS TO
GIVE CALTRANS. SUFFICIENT TIME
TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS
IN THE BILL AS YOU ALL KNOW
CONCRETE ASPHALT AND CEMENT ARE
VITAL TO BUILDING AND
MAINTAINING CALIFORNIA'S
INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMY. THE
MANUFACTURE OF THESE PRODUCTS
HOWEVER CAN BE A SIGNIFICANT
SOURCE OF GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS
FOR EXAMPLE CONCRETE IS
RESPONSIBLE 48% OF GREENHOUSE
GAS EMISSIONS GLOBALLY. WITH THE
USE OF THESE MATERIALS EXPECTED
TO GROW CONSIDERABLY IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DECADES IT'S CLEAR
THAT WE CAN'T MEET OUR AMBITIOUS
CLIMATE GOALS WITHOUT ALSO
ADDRESSING THE EMISSIONS FROM
THESE MATERIALS. HOW CALTRANS IS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST USERS OF ALL
OF THESE MATERIALS AND SO THEY
HAVE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO
LEAD THE STATE IN- IT TO LEAVE
THE STATE IN OUR EFFORTS IN THIS
AREA AND THEY'VE ALREADY SHOWN
LEADERSHIP THROUGH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BUY CLEAN
CALIFORNIA. FOR MATERIALS SUCH
AS STEEL RHUBARB AND BY PILING
THAT THAT PILOT IN THE
COLLECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
PRODUCT DECLARATIONS OR EPD IS
FOR PROJECTS USING CAT CONCRETE
ASPHALT AND AGGREGATE. AB TWELVE
FIFTY BUILDS ON CALTRANS
EXISTING EFFORTS IN THREE WAYS
FIRST THE BILL REQUIRES CALTRANS
TO STUDY AND REPORT ON THE
EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH. WITH
THE MATERIALS THEY USE AND STATE
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. AND TO
EXAMINE THE POTENTIAL USE OF
NEAR ZERO OR NET NEGATIVE CARBON
EMISSION EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES.
SECONDLY THE BILL REQUIRES
CALTRANS TO EXPAND ON ITS
EXISTING PILOT PROGRAM. BY
DIRECTING THE DEPARTMENT TO
REQUIRE THE SUBMISSION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCT
DECLARATIONS FOR CONCRETE AND
ASPHALT. USED IN STATE
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS. LASTLY
AS THE DATA COLLECTION PROCESS
BECOMES MORE ROBUST. WE CALTRANS
MAY AT SOME POINT THE FUTURE
REQUIRE THAT CONCRETE ASPHALT
AND TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS HAVE
TO MEET CERTAIN GREENHOUSE GAS
REQUIREMENTS. BASED ON EXTENSIVE
DISCUSSIONS WITH INDUSTRY AND
LABOR WE BELIEVE THAT INCLUDING
A GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL R. G.
W. P. BENCHMARK. IN PROJECT BID
SPECIFICATIONS WOULD BE THE BEST
WAY TO DO THIS. TO THAT END THE
BILL WOULD REQUIRE CALTRANS TO
DEVELOP LANGUAGE FOR A MODEL
PERFORMANCE SPACE BID
SPECIFICATION. TO DEMONSTRATE
HOW GW P. BENCHMARK MAY BE
INCORPORATED INTO PROJECT
REQUIREMENTS IN THE FUTURE. I'D
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE A FEW POINTS
MADE BY THE OPPOSITION AND TO
THANK THOSE IN THE INDUSTRY WHO
WORK WITH US TO IMPROVE THE
BILL. WELL THE STUDY PORTION OF
THE BILL DOES REQUIRED ANALYSIS
. THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT THAT
CALTRANS BEGINS USING THAT THESE
NEWER UNTESTED MATERIALS. AS IT
RELATES TO CONCRETE AND CEMENT I
BELIEVE WE'RE VERY CLOSE TO
ADDRESSING THE REMAINING
CONCERNS OF MANUFACTURERS. AND I
LOOK FORWARD TO COMING TO AN
AGREEMENT WITH THEM IN THE NEXT
FEW WEEKS. AS IT RELATES TO
ASPHALT WE'VE HAD VERY
PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS AND
WE'VE TAKEN A MOMENT TO TRY AND
ADDRESS ISSUES. I KNOW THAT
WE'RE NOT THERE YET AND SHOULD
THE BILL MOVES FORWARD AND CAN
PICK I'M CONTINUE TO CONTINUE
WORKING OUT THE REMAINING ISSUES
WITH ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDERS.
AND I'M ALSO FULLY COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH CALTRANS OVER THE
SUMMER RECESS TO INCORPORATE ANY
TECHNICAL FIZZ OF FIXES TO.
INCREASE THEIR COMFORT WITH THE
BILL TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT AS
LAUREN CUBIC WITH THE NATURAL
RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL. THANK
YOU WELCOME LARGE. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIRED COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MY NAME IS LAUREN KUBIAK
AND I'M A SENIOR SCIENTIST WITH
THE NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK
ON THIS BILL WE APPRECIATE ALL
OF THE HOURS THAT EVERYONE IS
PUT INTO ADDRESS EMISSIONS FROM
ASPHALT CONCRETE AND CEMENT.
USING CALIFORNIA'S
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE.
TO BUILD OFF THE AUTHOR'S
COMMENTS I WANT TO FOCUS IN ON
WHAT THIS BILL DOES AND DOESN'T
DO AND PUT IT IN BROADER
CONTEXT. IN ADDITION TO CALTRANS
REPORTING ON THE EMISSIONS
ASSOCIATED WITH MATERIALS USED
IN THEIR OPERATIONS THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE ENVIRONMENTAL
PRODUCT DECLARATIONS OR EPD IS
TO BE SUBMITTED FOR CONCRETE AND
ASPHALT USED IN CALTRANS PRODUCT
PROJECTS. EDIE'S OUR LIFE CYCLE
ASSESSMENT TOOL FOR QUANTIFYING
THE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
GENERATED DURING THE PRODUCTION
OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDING MATERIALS
AND PRODUCTS. CALTRANS IS
ALREADY COLLECTING EP'S FOR
ASPHALT AND CONCRETE AND SOME.
PROJECTS AS PART OF A PILOT AND
THIS BUILDS ON THAT LEADERSHIP.
ARE UNIFORMLY ADOPTING THIS EPD
REQUIREMENT CALIFORNIA WOULD
DEVELOP A BROADER UNDERSTANDING
OF. THE EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED
WITH DIFFERENT CONCRETE AND
ASPHALT PRODUCTS IN DIFFERENT
REGIONS OF THE STATE TO INFORM
HOW WE COULD THEN ADDRESS THEM.
INFLATION REDUCTION ACT CONTAINS
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS IN FUNDING TUNES TO
SUPPORT INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS
MANUFACTURERS OF ALL SIZES. IN
CREATING EPD IS THROUGH GRANTS
AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
EXPANDING EPD COLLECTION IN
CALIFORNIA AT THIS MOMENT CAN
LEVERAGE THIS IMPORTANT SOURCE
OF FUNDING. IN ADDITION THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE CALTRANS TO
DEVELOP LANGUAGE FOR MODEL BID
SPECIFICATION THAT INCORPORATES
A GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL FOR
CONCRETE. OR ASPHALT USED IN A
PROJECT IT STOPS SHORT OF
REQUIRING CALTRANS TO
INCORPORATE EMISSIONS IN ITS BID
SPECIFICATIONS. WELL WE HOPE
THAT AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE
CALTRANS WILL REQUIRE MATERIALS
TO MEET CERTAIN GLOBAL WARMING
POTENTIAL LIMITS. OUR
CONSULTATIONS WITH INDUSTRY HAVE
INDICATED THAT IMPROVING DATA
QUALITY AND COLLECTION PROCESSES
FIRST. IS CRUCIAL THAT'S WHAT
THIS BILL DOES. I ALSO WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT OTHER STATES
HAVE ALREADY. YORK NEW JERSEY
OREGON COLORADO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT GOVERNMENT AND
MUNICIPALITIES WITHIN CALIFORNIA
HAVE ALL ADOPTED LOW EMBODIED
CARBON CONCRETE OR ASPHALT.
PUBLIC PROCUREMENT POLICIES. AND
ARE MOVING TO REQUIRE THOSE
MATERIALS TO MEET ADMISSION
BENCHMARKS THE DECLINE OVER
TIME. BY PASSING AB TWELVE FIFTY
CALIFORNIA CAN PUT IN PLACE
PROCESSES THAT WILL BE KEY TO
UNLOCKING TO DECARBONISATION IN
THE INDUSTRIAL SECTOR WHICH IS A
SIGNIFICANT AND GROWING SOURCE.
OF EMISSIONS WITHOUT IMMEDIATE
POLICY INTERVENTION WE WORK
CLOSELY WITH THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE
AND INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS OVER
THE PAST YEAR AND ARE COMMITTED
TO CONTINUING THESE
CONSULTATIONS TO DEVELOP A
FRAMEWORK TO ADDRESS THESE
EMISSIONS. DOING SO WILL BE
CRUCIAL TO MEETING CALIFORNIA'S
EITHER WRAP UP I'M SO SORRY I.
APPRECIATE YOUR THOUGHTFUL
CONSIDERATION OF AB TWELVE FIFTY
AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE
VOTE THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WE'RE GONNA GIVE EVERYBODY
TWO MINUTES- ON. THE LEAD SIDE
SO IS THERE ANYONE ELSE YOU'D

STAFF AS WELL AS THE SPONSORS

FANTASTIC DIALOGUE. WE DON'T
HAVE OBJECTION TO THAT CONCEPT
IS MORE HOW DO WE GET THERE. THE
ASSOCIATION ALL OF ITS MEMBERS
COMPANIES AS WELL AS THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION IS ACTUALLY
ENDEAVORING ON INITIATIVES TO
ACHIEVE SOME OF THE SAME GOALS.
WE'VE ACTUALLY WORKED WITH
CALTRANS FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS
TO TRY AND PUT THIS PLACE IN A
PLACE AND SO WE'RE MORE
CONCERNED WITH. HOW DO WE GET
THERE OR NOT WHEN WE GET THERE.
SO IT'S VERY TECHNICAL THERE'S A
LOT OF DATA WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THE DAY THAT WE DO COLLECT IS
CORRECT SO THAT WERE ACTUALLY
OPERATING ON ON GOOD
INFORMATION- WITH A COMMITMENT
FROM THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE AND THE
SPONSORS. I THINK OVER THE
SUMMER BREAK WE CAN GET THERE SO

SOMETHING YOU CONSIDER YOUR OF
YOU WHAT ARE YOU WORKING WITH
THEM TO- THAT LESS LIKE WEEKLY.
DID HAVE MASTER SUPPLY CHAIN
PROBLEMS WILL JUST POINT THE
DOESN'T WORK ANY CERTAIN TYPE OF
PROCUREMENT IT'S REALLY JUST ON
THE STREET STARTING TO SET THE
STAGE FOR HOW THEY WOULD EVEN BE
ABLE TO RECORD THE EMISSIONS.
AND THEN EVENTUALLY- ESTABLISH A
BIDDING CRITERIA SO I THINK THAT
THAT'S MY FROM MY THINKING IS
THAT'S A CONCERN FOR DOWN THE
ROAD WHEN THEY ACTUALLY START TO
MAKE MORE WHEN WE HAVE MORE
TECHNOLOGIES AND THERE'S MORE OF
A- A CHOICE ABOUT HOW THEY'RE
GOING TO PRIORITIZE. A DIFFERENT
MATERIALS AND DO THE BIDDING
PROCESS BUT I GUESS THEIR
CONCERN IS IF YOU KNOW ANY P. D.
IS NOT DEVELOPED FOR. A
COMPLIANT MIXTURE DOWN THE ROAD
THEN YOU'LL HAVE A PROBLEM WHAT
WE KNOW WILL CONTINUE TO ADD
DISCUSSES WITH THEM AS THE BILL
MOVES FORWARD WE WANT TO. AS WE
SAID WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET
ON ALL THE ISSUES AND WE'RE
STILL IN DISCUSSION WITH
INDUSTRY. I APPRECIATE THAT

FOUR. THANK YOU SO MUCH MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS- AND VERY
HAPPY TO PRESENT AB FOUR SIXTY
FORTY TODAY BECAUSE THIS IS A
REALLY PERSONAL BILL FOR ME I-
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW
ACTUALLY CO FOUNDED AN
ORGANIZATION IN MY DISTRICT THAT
ADDRESSED HOMELESSNESS AND WE
BECAME WHAT- QUICKLY BECAME THE
LARGEST HOMELESS OUTREACH
PROGRAM IN THE WEST SAN FERNANDO
VALLEY- BY VOLUNTEERS AND I
PERSONALLY DID OUT REACH TO
ENCAMPMENTS FOR OVER A YEAR-
AND- MOSTLY. NORTHRIDGE AND
GRANADA HILLS AREA IN THE SAN
FERNANDO VALLEY AND ONE OF THE
NUMBER ONE THINGS THAT I HEARD
FOLKS REALLY NEED ENOUGH WHO
WERE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
WAS AN ID- SO AFTER YOU KNOW FOR
BASIC NECESSITIES LIKE FOOD AND
HOUSING AND IDEA WAS AT THE TOP
OF THEIR LIST TO BE ABLE TO GET.
THE SERVICES THAT THEY NEED TO
GET INTO HOUSING YOU KNOW I
THINK A LOT OF TIMES WE TAKE FOR
GRANTED HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN
WE USE AN IDEA WE HAVE TO USE AN
IDEA TO WALK ACROSS THE STREET
AND GO INTO THE SECRETARY OF
STATE BUILDING- JUST TO ACCESS
THAT BUILDING. YOU ALSO NEED IT
TO BE ABLE TO GET A JOB YOU
NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO
HOUSING- YOU NEEDED TO BE ABLE
TO GET THE SERVICES THAT YOU
NEED TO GET ON YOUR FEET AND SO
THIS IS SUCH A AND IMPORTANT AND
VITAL- RESOURCE FOR FOLKS AND SO
OFTEN WHEN YOU'RE EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS IT'S STOLEN. IT'S
LOST AND SWEEPS- OR JUST LOST
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE YOU KNOW
SAFE FILING DRAWERS TO PUT
THINGS IN ANYMORE- AND SO YOU
KNOW THIS BILL REALLY AIMS TO
MAKE SURE THAT ID'S AND VITAL
RECORDS- WHAT YOU NEED TO ENROLL
YOUR KIDS IN SCHOOL. OR GET
CERTAIN- SERVICES ARE ARE FREE
AND AVAILABLE TO LOW INCOME
FOLKS AND FOLKS EXPERIENCING
HOMELESSNESS WHO REALLY NEED IT-
AND WANTED TO- JUST THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THE ANALYSIS THIS AND-
DEFINITELY ONE OF VERIFY- THAT
THIS INCLUDES CHILDREN AND
YOUTH- AND I'M ACCEPTING
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
DISCUSSED WITH COMMITTEE STAFF
SO- WILL YOU WITH AND HAPPY TO

MADAM CHAIR WE HAVE NO FURTHER
SUPPORTER OPPOSITION IN KILL
OKAY THANK YOU MODERATOR WILL
TAKE IT BACK FOR QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS OF THE
BILL OF RIGHTS SENATOR BLIX
REMOVES THE BILL SENATOR HELLO
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS.
YES THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. SO I
NOTICE IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS- EXPRESSED CONCERN
ABOUT- THE FACT THAT- DRIVER'S
LICENSE BEING- PROVIDED WITHOUT
A FEE. IS A CHALLENGE TO THE
STATE'S GENERAL FUND- THERE WAS
NO MENTION HOWEVER ABOUT THE
CHALLENGE TO RECORDERS AND I'M
VERY SENSITIVE TO THAT BECAUSE
I'M- LOCAL CONTROL IS- IS A
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR ME. AND
THEY ARE IF I UNDERSTAND
CORRECTLY LARGELY. DEPENDENT
UPON- THE FEES THAT ARE THEIR
SERVICES PROVIDE- AND SO THIS
WOULD SEEM TO BE QUITE A
CHALLENGE FOR THEM. SO I'M
WONDERING. I'M WONDERING. I'M
WONDERING HOW YOU WOULD ANSWER
THAT WOULD YOU PUT INTO THE
BILL- A- A REIMBURSEMENT- FOR-
THE RECORDERS FOR THIS FEE OR
JUST LEAVE IT UP TO THE MANDATE
SYSTEM WHERE FRANKLY THINGS ARE
NEVER PAID. A BUT IT WOULD SEEM
TO BE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR A
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS SPECIFICALLY
RECORDERS. SO THE BILL IS UPON
APPROPRIATION- IS IT ALREADY
INCLUDED IN THE LANGUAGE AND-
YOU KNOW AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
THE STATE MANDATE REIMBURSEMENT
PROCESS CAN BE CHALLENGING BUT
THAT DOESN'T MORE THAN CHALLENGE
. IT DOES EXIST FOR THIS PURPOSE
ALMOST THEY NEVER THING YEAH
YEAH I MEAN. I THINK THAT I
THINK THAT SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO
ALSO BALANCE CHOICES THAT MAY
COST SOME MONEY UP FRONT BUT
ALSO REAP INCREDIBLE BENEFITS-
AND YOU KNOW AND PAY FORWARD IN
BIG WAYS RIGHT IF SOMEONE CAN
GET OFF THE STREET AND INTO
HOUSING OR- OR A JOB WHERE THEY
DIDN'T HAVE ONE BEFORE. OR THEIR
KIDS IN SCHOOL THERE ARE HUGE
BENEFITS INCLUDING TAX BENEFITS
FOR MANY OF THOSE THINGS FOR
TAXPAYERS AND SO- WHILE IT MAY
NOT BE A ONE TO ONE FOR
RECORDERS AND I UNDERSTAND YOU
KNOW THE CONCERN THERE. I THINK
THAT- YOU KNOW WHEN WE HAVE
PEOPLE ABLE TO GET ON THEIR FEET
GET INTO- GET INTO HOUSING GET
GET INTO JOBS WHERE THERE ARE
YOU KNOW PAYING TAXES RIGHT PAIN
INTO THE PUBLIC SYSTEM- AND ALSO
YOU KNOW WE KNOW THAT SUPPORTING
PEOPLE ON THE STREETS COST MUCH
MORE THAN IT COSTS TO HOUSE
FOLKS. AND SO YOU KNOW THIS
BEING AN IMPORTANT TOOL TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE AND NOT CYCLE OF
HOMELESSNESS AND GET PEOPLE INTO
THE HOUSING AND SERVICES THAT
THEY NEED TO GET ON THEIR FEET I
THINK IN THE END. IF WE'RE
LOOKING MORE GLOBALLY AT THE
COSTS THAT ARE GOING TOWARD
SUPPORTING FOLKS WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE
LOW INCOME BUT IT'S ACTUALLY
GOING TO BE A BENEFIT TO THE
PUBLIC. I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT
I DO BECAUSE- I'VE SAID MANY
TIMES. RIGHT NOW HOMELESSNESS.
IS PROBABLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGE FACING THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA AGREED. I KIND OF
DOUBT THAT IT'S ENTIRELY BECAUSE
OF THIS ISSUE. DEGREE IN THE
LAST FIVE OR SIX YEARS I'M GOING
TO BE SPEAKING SORT OF
PARENTHETICALLY BECAUSE IS NOT
SPECIFICALLY TO THIS BILL BUT-
WE SPENT TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS
ESTABLISHED OVER THIRTY PROGRAMS
MOSTLY STATE. TOP DOWN APPROACH-
REFUSED TO GIVE UP COMMITTEE
COUNTIES MULTI YEAR FUNDING JUST
ONE YEAR AT A TIME. AND ALL THAT
TIME HOMELESSNESS HAS. RISEN IN
FACT IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
IT SHOWS. THE NUMBER OF DMV ID
CARDS- ISSUE DOWN HOUSE PEOPLE
IN TWENTY TWENTY WAS SEVENTY
FIVE THOUSAND- AND- IN- TWENTY
TWENTY ONE IT WAS A HUNDRED
THOUSAND. NOW THAT'S NOT GOING
TO SOLVE HOMELESSNESS.
HOMELESSNESS IS A MUCH BIGGER
ISSUE AND I GET THAT AND YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. BUT I HAVE TO
COME BACK TO THE REALISTIC
IMPACT ON COUNTY RECORDER-
BUDGETS AND IF THIS INCLUDED IN
IT SPECIFICALLY FUNDING TO
REIMBURSE THEM- I COULD SUPPORT
THAT. BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT
DOES. AND THE MANDATE SYSTEM
QUITE FRANKLY. JUST NEVER WORKS
AND- RIGHT I MEAN SO I AGAIN IT
HAS UPON APPROPRIATION IN THE
BILL NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO I'M
HAPPY TO IN FUTURE YOU KNOW THE
FUTURE BUDGET CYCLE WORK WITH
THE RECORDERS AND FIGHT FOR
MONEY TO GO BACK SPECIFICALLY
FOR THIS PROGRAM I THINK THAT
WOULD IMPORT BE IMPORTANT AND
ALSO OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE IT HAS
UPON APPROPRIATION IN IT. THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT I'M COMMITTED
TO DOING IS FIGHTING FOR BUDGET
ALLOCATIONS BOTH FOR THE
RECORDERS AND FOR THE DMV TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS COVERED
BECAUSE WHILE IT DOES NOT WE DO
NOT WITH OUR BILL SOLVE
HOMELESSNESS- WE YOU KNOW. I
HOPE THAT THE YOU KNOW THE STORY
I TOLD AT THE BEGINNING OF MY
PRESENTATION ILLUSTRATES HOW
CRITICAL THIS REALLY IS FOR
PEOPLE IF IT'S THE NUMBER ONE
THING THAT THEY TALK ABOUT AND
ASK FOR. AFTER HOUSING AND FOOD
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE CAN DO
TO ACTUALLY HELP FOLKS GET OUT
OF HOMELESSNESS- AND SO IT SEEMS
LIKE A- KIND OF A SIMPLE THING I
THINK BUT- WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
ALL THE THINGS YOU KNOW I WAS
WORKING WITH THE WOMAN
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WHO
HAD GOTTEN. INTO HOUSING AND WE
YOU KNOW COULDN'T GET HER EIGHT
SENIOR BUS PASS BECAUSE SHE
NEEDED AN ID AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE
ONE. YOU KNOW SO THERE ARE SO
MANY BARRIERS FOR FOLKS WHO ARE
JUST TRYING TO GET THEIR BASIC
NEEDS NEEDS MET SO THEY CAN GET
ON THEIR FEET WHEN THEY DON'T
HAVE AN ID- THAT THIS ACTUALLY
REALLY DOES MAKE A BIG
DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.
AND ULTIMATELY I THINK HOUSING
SOLVES HOMELESSNESS AND I AGREE
THAT THERE IS A LOT BETTER
SMARTER WAYS THAT WE CAN DO
THAT- BUT THIS BILL I THINK IS
ONE OF THE- KIND OF- UNNAMED.
THINGS THAT REALLY IS A BARRIER
TO PEOPLE GETTING ON THEIR FEET
GETTING OUT OF HOMELESSNESS AND
HAVING STABILIZE LIVES. THAT WE
CAN DO THAT WILL MAKE A
DIFFERENCE FOR FOLKS. THANK YOU
SENATOR NEW LOW. OUR RIGHTS I
DON'T SEE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS AND SENATOR BLAKE SPEIR

ALLOWED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS A
GREAT COMMERCIAL DELIVERY
VEHICLES LOADING AND UNLOADING
IN THE DELIGHT DELIGHT IN ZONES.
IN OUR FIVE MAKES THE FIRST
PERSON'S VIOLATIONS SIMPLY A
WARNING. DELIGHTING ZONES AT
INTERSECTIONS WILL MAKE OUR
STREETS SAFER FOR DRIVERS BIKERS
AND PEOPLE ON FOOT. THE INCREASE
VISIBILITY FOR EVERYONE WILL
HELP ADDRESS CALIFORNIA'S
PEDESTRIAN FATALITY RATE WHICH
IS ALMOST 25% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE NEW TWENTY
TWENTY TWO IS BASICALLY TWENTY
TWO PEOPLE A DAY WHO DIED. FORTY
THREE OTHER STATES HAVE ADOPTED
DELIGHTING MEASURES AND BECAUSE
IT IS A COMMON SENSE WAY TO
PREVENT TRAFFIC COLLISIONS. AND
WITH THESE AMENDMENTS I BELIEVE
THIS IS A BILL THAT WORK FOR
EVERY COMMUNITY AND JUST TO GIVE
YOU A CONCEPT OF WHAT A
VISUALIZATION WERE SAYING IS
THAT ON THE APPROACH CYBER
INTERSECTION. WE WANT TO CLEAR
THE TWENTY FEET TWENTY FEET SO
THERE IS VISIBILITY SO YOU'RE
NOT RUNNING OVER DRIVERS ARE
HITTING CYCLISTS NOT HITTING
OTHER CARS AND TWENTY FEET JUST
FOR REFERENCE. IS ONE THE FORD
ONE FIFTY THE LENGTH OF ONE
FORTY ONE FIFTY OR IT SIMPLY A
LITTLE BIT A LITTLE BIT LONGER
THAN ONE TESLA MODEL X. THE S.
U. V. WHICH IS SIXTEEN POINT
FIVE FEET. TO REALLY TALK ABOUT
BASICALLY ONE CAR LENGTH SO THAT
WE CAN. IMPROVED VISIBILITY AND
SAFETY FOR ALL DAY- ON. THE
STREETS. ARE AND I WOULD LIKE TO
. THE CLIFF DIVER WENT COMES. MY
WITH TODAY WILL BE MARK. FOR
CATCH OF ITS WITH STREETS FOR A-
WELCOME. AFTER ON I'M IS MARKED
EXHIBIT. THE FIRST FOR ALL IN
ORDER. THAT STATE FOR SAFE.
SUSTAINABLE EQUITABLE
TRANSPORTATION. DEMOCRATS WANT
FOR THE BILL. AB FOUR THIRTEEN
REQUIRES DELIGHTING ACROSS WALK
AND IT'S A REALLY SMALL TWEAK
THAT WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES.
THIS BILL WILL IMPROVE
PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLIST SAFETY ON
CALIFORNIA'S ROADS. THIS
LEGISLATION WOULD PROHIBIT
VEHICLES FROM PARKING OR
STOPPING AS AT THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MENTIONED. PROCESS KNOWN
AS DELIGHTING THAT'S RIGHT FOR
THE CROSSWALK. THIS EIGHTY FOUR
THIRTY ONE MAKE INTERSECTIONS
SAFER BY WIDENING SIGHTLINES FOR
THE DRIVER. GIVING DRIVERS
BETTER VISION WHEN LOOKING OUT
FOR PEDESTRIANS. AND ALLOWING
MORE PEOPLE THIS. MORE SAFELY
AND COMFORTABLY CROSS STREETS AT
THE MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE
STREET WHICH IS THE
INTERSECTION. WORK WERE MULTIPLE
FOLKS COLLIDE ESSENTIALLY. IN
CALIFORNIA PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES
ARE OVER 25% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. THE STATE HAS
THE NINTH HIGHEST NUMBER OF
PEDESTRIAN DEATHS ON ITS
ROADWAYS. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
THE PEDESTRIAN GOT THREE AND US
REACH A FOUR DECADE HIGH WITH
CALIFORNIA TOPPING THAT LIST.
DELIGHTING IS A PROVING SAFETY
TECHNIQUE FOR EVERYONE
ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR SHORTER
FOLKS TO BE TOTALLY HONEST IT'S
LIKE KIDS TRYING TO KEEP OUT OF
ACROSS CARS. THAT'S WHERE
DELIGHTING IS MOST EFFECTIVE. WE
KIDS IN WHEELCHAIRS AND KIDS AND
PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS. ARE AND
THAT'S WHAT THE LEADING SOLVES
IT'S A WIDELY ACCEPTED SAFETY
MEASURE THE N. H. TSA NATIONAL
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION. HAS PROVEN TO BE
EFFECTIVE AT REDUCING
PEDESTRIANS CYCLIST FATALITIES
AND INJURIES. KNOCKED OUT THE
NATIONAL ASSOCIATE ASSOCIATION
OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS
A GROUP OF ENGINEERS AND
TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS WHO
DEDICATE THEIR FOCUS ON DESIGN
STANDARDS. RECOMMENDS DELIGHTING
WITH LOCAL DISCRETION AND THAT'S
EXACTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
THE SAFETY MEASURE IS AFFORDABLE
AND WOOD OFF NO COST MAKING A
PRACTICAL AND EFFECTIVE
SOLUTION. FOR IMPROVING SAFETY
AT INTERSECTIONS WHICH TO SAY
AGAIN IS THE MOST DANGEROUS PART
OF OUR ROADWAYS FOR SPECIALLY
FOR ALL USERS BUT ESPECIALLY
PEDESTRIANS. WE ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT IN THIS LIFE SINGLE

WE HAVE NO FURTHER ORDER
OPPOSITION KILL. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- AND FIRST I'D LIKE TO SAY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS SORT I KNOW WE
WORK TOGETHER WITH YOU TO. BUT
ENSURE THERE WAS SOME
COMPROMISES AND STILL SOME LOCAL
CONTROL- BUT I CAN TELL YOU I
HEAR FROM RESIDENTS I THINK
EVERY WEEK ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC
ISSUE AND IT'S- YOU KNOW
CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT I KNOW
NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND- CERTAINLY
EDUCATION BEING DONE AT. OUR
LOCAL LET THE LOCAL LEVEL BUT
ALSO FOR DRIVERS THAT ARE. NOT
KNOWING- WHAT A HAZARDOUS CAN
COMPOSE- WITH THAT ALSO MOVE ON
TO CENTER BLIX PAYER. YES THANK
YOU- I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU
FOCUSING ON PEDESTRIAN SAFETY I
THINK THE VISION ZERO GOALS
WHICH ARE TO HAVE ZERO TRAFFIC
FATALITIES- TWO PEDESTRIANS OR
BICYCLISTS FROM CARS IS IN ORDER
TO ACHIEVE THAT GOAL WE NEED TO
HAVE THINGS LIKE THIS THE
WIDENING OF SIGHT LINES- AND
THAT. THE STATISTIC IS
PARTICULARLY STRIKING THAT
CALIFORNIA'S PEDESTRIAN FATALITY
RATE IS 25% HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. AND THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE IS ALREADY HIGH
SO YOU KNOW CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO
BE A LEADER IN PRIORITIZING
PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE SAFETY. I
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENT THAT
YOU TOOK RELATED TO LOCAL
CONTROL WHICH WAS BASICALLY THAT
A LOCAL- AGENCY COULD HAVE A
DIFFERENT DAY LIGHTING STANDARD
I ASSUME THAT THAT'S THE AND
THAT WHAT THAT AMENDMENT IS- AND
I THINK THE THING THAT I HAD
BEEN MOST CONCERNED ABOUT- IN
THE BILL WAS. THAT IT APPLIED TO
UNMARKED CROSSWALKS WHICH SEEM
LIKE WE MIGHT BE SETTING PEOPLE
VEHICLE DRIVERS UP TO GET
TICKETS IF THERE'S AN UNMARKED
CROSSWALK AND THEN THERE WITHIN
THIS AREA. OF TWENTY FIVE FEET
OR THE LENGTH OF A TESLA AND-
THOUGHT YOU GAVE THOSE EXAMPLES-
SO CAN YOU JUST ADDRESS THAT
ABOUT THE UNMARKED CROSSWALK
BECAUSE HOW WOULD. HOW WOULD
THAT EXACTLY WORK. YOU HAPPY TO
ANSWERED CENTER BACKS. SO ONE OF
THE UNMARKED. A. AS PART OF OUR
BILL IS SOME OF THE MOST
ESSENTIAL PARTS OF OUR BILL
BECAUSE USUALLY MARKED
CROSSWALKS HEY YOU. ARE SAFER
BECAUSE THEY ARE MARKED AND BE
DRIVERS ARE EXPECTING
PEDESTRIANS AND SEE YOU HAVE
THAT EXPECTATION THERE. WE ARE
TRYING TO ADDRESS ON MARK
PROSPECTS AS WELL WITH THE BILL
BECAUSE THERE IS THAT BUT LACKS
EXPECTATION GAP THAT ACTUALLY
LEADS TO. OUR WITH A MORE
CHALLENGES BETWEEN DRIVER ON
PEDESTRIAN COLLISIONS AND
CHALLENGES THERE THAT'S I GUESS
THAT THE INTENT AND TO RESPOND
TO THAT. WELL IT'S ALWAYS AN
UNMARKED CAR CROSSWALK WHERE
PEOPLE JUST ARE RANDOMLY WALKING
ACROSS THE STREET. YEAH WHAT
THAT MEANS. MY UNDERSTANDING IS
AN UNDERCARD MARKED CROSSWALK IS
AYE. A NEW INTERNET WHERE AN
INTERSECTION AN INTERSECTION
WHERE SOMEONE MAY OTHERWISE
WALKED. ONE ACROSS THE STREET
THAT IS UNMARKED WITH PAINT BUT
IT'S NOT AT ANY POINT- ON ANY
ANY PART OF THE STREET YOU KNOW
IF THAT MAKES SENSE. OKAY ALSO
ADDED- FIRST VIOLATION IS A
WARNING SO IT'S NOT RIGHT. YEAH
YEAH HOW I MEAN HOPEFULLY LOCAL
GOVERNMENT THIS WILL FORCE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO FOCUS ON THIS DAY
LIGHTING AT WHEN THEY'RE COMING
UP WITH THEIR OWN STREETS
STANDARDS. BECAUSE THEY COULD
COME UP WITH ALTERNATIVES AND IF
THEY DON'T THEN THIS WOULD BE
THE DEFAULT I ASSUME. I DO THINK
IT'S A GREAT IDEA FOR US TO
CONTINUE TO CODIFY ENACTED SO
BECAUSE NOT TOO HAS SOME REALLY
GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS. BUT NACTA
DOES SAY THAT THAT THEY DO NOT
THINK THAT THAT THERE SHOULD BE
INTENDED AS A BLANKET
REQUIREMENT. SO THE AMENDMENTS
THAT YOU TOOK HAVE ADDRESS THAT
AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
YEAH I WOULD JUST SAY THAT YOU
KNOW TO YOUR POINT ABOUT I MARC
KLAAS LOOKS AS YOU CAN IMAGINE
THERE'S LOTS OF DIFFERENT TYPES
OF AVENUES STREETS BOULEVARDS
THAT EXISTS OUT THERE AND SOME
ARE VERY VERY WELL PAINTED AND
SOME. OF COURSE YOU ACROSS SMALL
TIME IT'S BETWEEN FOURTH IN
SECTION FOUR STREETS IMAGINE BUT
THEY DON'T PUT THE PAINT THEIR-
PROPS B. B. IT'S UNDER VESTED OR
JUST LOWER FOOT TRAFFIC. BUT THE
IDEAS PUT A STANDARD ESSENTIALLY
WHERE LOCALS COULD THAT MODIFY
IF NECESSARY. OKAY THANK YOU.
YEAH THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU
CENTER ARCHULETA. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SOME REMEMBERING THIS
UP FORWARD AND TO JUST THE BILL.
I JUST GOT THE- THEY WERE
TALKING THAT DAY- MENTIONED THE
LENGTH OF A AUDIBLE. OR AN S. U.
V. COULD IT JUST BE PAINTED RED
. BECAUSE ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW
YOU SHOULDN'T PARK THERE- WITH
THIS NEW BILL. BUT IF YOUR
PRINTER READ IT WOULD JUST. NOT
PARK THERE. WITH WHAT CAN WE DO
ABOUT THAT ONE. YET THE BILL
DOESN'T MANDATE ANY PENNY OF
CARBS BUT IF A LOCALITY DOES
CHOOSE TO CHANGE THE LENGTH OF
THE LIGHTING ON THE PARKING ZONE
THEN THEY MUST PARK IT- BUT
AGAIN THIS IS THE LENGTH OF ONE
FOR ONE FIFTY WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT ONE TRUCK. BASICALLY BUT
YOU KNOW THERE'S ALSO EXISTING
LAW OUT THERE WHERE WE DON'T
REQUIRE PAINTING AS WELL. IT'S
ACTUALLY ILLEGAL TO PARK A SEVEN
POINT FIVE FEET FROM RAIL
TRACKS. UP WE DON'T HAVE
PAINTING ON THERE AS WELL SAME
TIME. OKAY THANK YOU. OKAY
SENATOR NEWMAN. THEY A CHURCH OF
SOME IN I AM GLAD TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL TODAY. I DO QUESTION
HOW HOW. IMPRISONMENT AS PASSES
OVER CITED. AT HOW HOW TO HOW TO
PUBLICIZE HOW TO EDUCATE THE
PUBLIC- MISTER BROOKS RICHARD.
CLOSE BECAUSE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
IT. I AS TO THIS NEW. LAW THIS
NEW THIS NEW GUY ACROSS THE
STATE AND I GUESS- OF THAT THE
SAME TIME- WHAT ASSURANCE WE
HAVE IT'LL BE ENFORCED. WHO
ALONGSIDE THAT. YEAH I'LL I'LL
JUST SAY REALLY REALLY QUICKLY
IS THAT OF COURSE YOU'RE GONNA
SEE A LOT OF MEASURES DEALING
WITH DIFFERENT RULES OF THE ROAD
THEY'RE GOING TO HAPPEN HERE. AT
THE FIRST OF COURSE C. H.
BEATING HELP APERTURAL THEY PUT
OUT A PRESS. RELEASE ABOUT
UPCOMING CHANGE THE LAW SO IF
THIS WAS SIGNED INTO LAW OF
COURSE. THEN OF COURSE THE NEWS
COVERS THAT I CAN IMAGINE IS ONE
OF THOSE THINGS THAT GETS COVER
QUITE WIDELY. AND ADDITION THE
DMV AUTOMATICALLY MAKES THE
CHANGES IN THE DRIVER'S
HANDBOOK. AND HOPEFULLY THIRD
PARTIES LIKE TRIPLE A WILL PUT
THESE RELEASES OUT THERE SO YOU
KNOW THIS IS AN ASPECT OF THE
BILL WILL BE CHANGED RULE AND
USUALLY THE- PUBLIC AWARENESS
CAMPAIGNS HADDOCK FOLLOW. FOLLOW
THAT. IDENTIFIES WAS WAITING BUT
BUILT TO BE CLEAR I MEAN IT YOU
KNOW WITHOUT FUNDING I DON'T.
KNOW DECADE FUND AND I'M NOT
NEARLY AS OPTIMISTIC AS YOU AS
YOU ARE. ABOUT THE AVERAGE
CALIFORNIAN LEARNED ABOUT THIS.
QUICKLY IS HE TO RESPONSE ON
NAME AND I AYE. GUESS I ALL I
COULD ONLY REAL THAT NAY- STATE
THAT. THAT THE CALTRANS PRESS.
THANK OUT AND SINGLE YEAR WHERE
THERE'S A OF THE ROAD. IS I
WOULD JUST SAY A PRESS RELEASE
THAT EVEN SOME OF MY
ORGANIZATION RIGHT IT'S A PRESS
RELEASE THAT THEN GETS.
DISTRIBUTED WIDELY SO WHEN I
JUST EVEN A BASIC GOOGLE SEARCH
THIS MORNING. THE TWENTY TWENTY
TWO CONFERENCE PRESS RELEASE ON
RULES OF THE ROAD CHANGES. WAS
COVERED BY KTLA KCRW AT TIMES OF
SAN DIEGO. AND A BUNCH OF OTHER
PRESS ORGANIZATIONS MANY ONE
STARTED WITH A K. IN CALIFORNIA.
AND SO IT I DON'T THINK OF THIS
AS SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
QUIETLY. AND NO ONE'S GONNA KNOW
ABOUT IT AND SUDDENLY THEY'RE
GONNA GET A TICKET BECAUSE ON
TOP OF THAT. IS THIS IS THE
FIRST VIOLATION IS A WARNING
BASED ON THE AMENDMENTS WE TOOK.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S WIDELY
PUBLICIZED THROUGH THE EXISTING
GOVERNMENTAL MEANS THAT WE HAVE.
AND AS A AS A MEMBER OF THE
MENTION IS THAT. ALL THESE ARE
AUTOMATICALLY PLACED WITHIN THAT
THE DMV HANDBOOK THAT IS
AVAILABLE AND EVERY DMV AND-
JENNA DRESSES IN THE DRIVING.
DRIVERS TRAINING THE MODELS THAT
WE ALL TAKE ON VACATION WITH US
READ A FEATURE. YES OUR- OKAY I
APPRECIATE IT THIS IS HARDER I
THINK- AS A MATTER OF KIND
EDUCATION THEN. WE GENERALLY
ASSUME BUT OTHERWISE OPPOSED TO
THE BILL. THANK YOU THANK YOU US
SOME AS SENATOR MEELO MY.
APOLOGIES THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
. AS I POINTED OUT. EARLIER LOW
CONTROL IS FACE. ISSUE FOR ME-
SO WOULD YOU TAKE. AGAIN YOU
WENT THROUGH- AMENDMENT VERY
QUICK YOU ELABORATE LITTLE BIT.
OTHER QUESTIONS BUT WHAT ARE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU HAVE.
ACCEPTED YEAH IN REGARD TO LOG
LOCAL CONTROL ALL SAY THEY
PROVIDES LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THE
AUTHORITY TO DOT DIFFERENT
DEALING DISTANCES. PROVIDE FOR
SIGNAGE ARE MARKING IN THOSE
CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THEY CHANGE
THE DISTANCES. AND ALLOWS LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO GREAT COMMERCIAL
DELIVERY VEHICLES LOADING AND
UNLOADING ZONES AND THE
DAYLIGHTING SO. OKAY LET'S FIRST
VIOLATION IS A WARNING. YES I'VE
I WAS SENT TO OF THE LOW CONTROL
ASPECT OKAY YES YEAH I
APPRECIATE THAT SO- LOCAL AREAS
KNOW BEST THEIR- SHIFTY- RISKS
AND MEASURES THAT THEY SHOULD
TAKE. AND WHAT WORKS AND MODOC
COUNTY'S NOVELIST NECESSARILY
GOING TO WORK AND L. A. COUNTY
SO. APPRECIATE THE FLEXIBILITY
WITH THAT. I CAN SUPPORT THE
BILL THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS COMMENTS ALRIGHT
SWEET- I MY APOLOGIES CENTER
CORTESE YES. ACTUALLY ACTUALLY.
MY QUESTION'S BEEN ASKED AND
ANSWERED BUT I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR- FOR THE- OF THE
THOUGHTFUL BILL IN TAKING THE
AMENDMENTS BECAUSE I THINK THE-
THEY'RE CRITICAL TO THE BILL IN.
JUST TWO HOW THE LOW FEES THAT
WE SHARE A DISTRICT BASIS- ARE
GONNA NEED TO OPERATE THANK. YOU
AND HAVE YOU SPLIT THE BILL.
SORRY THAT THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ALL RIGHT SENATOR DOLLY. SORRY I
KNOW HAVE THE FULL COMMITTEE BUT
AT WE KNOW WE PASSED. NO
TICKETING PEDESTRIAN OR CROSS
WHEN IT'S SAFE BASICALLY SO- I
KNOW THIS IS DEALING WITH LIKE
THE VISION PART OF IT- BUT IN
THIS A TEST TAKES WERE ANY WAS
WAS ALL THAT. ALL THE STATISTICS
OF PEOPLE ACTUALLY IN THE
CROSSWALK WHERE THIS WOULD
ACTUALLY. DAYLIGHT OUT OR OVER
THOSE- PEOPLE GETTING HIT. JUST
CROSSING THE STREET WITHOUT A
CROSSWALK. ADJUSTED MY ALL INTO
THE POSSIBILITIES I'M NOT SURE
IF I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THE
QUESTION SO THIS IS THIS IS THIS
BILL IS DEALING WITH. THE
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO SEE. RIGHT
THAT'S RIGHT AND BUT YOU STATED
IN YOUR OPENING REMARKS ABOUT.
PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING HIT- OR
IS THAT JUST IN THE CROSSWALK OR
IS IT. ON THE STREET AND WE
PASSED A LAW LAST YEAR. THAT
ALLOWS YOU KNOW TICKET FOR
PEOPLE TO J. WALK. QUITE FRANKLY
SO THAT'S MY QUESTION. ASCENDED
THE STATISTICS I CITED WERE FROM
THE NATIONAL. GOVERNORS HIGHWAY
SAFETY ASSOCIATION WHICH ARE.
STATEWIDE STATISTICS NOT
NECESSARILY DEDICATED TO JUST
THE INTERSECTION. I AM JUST A
CROSSWALK. THERE THERE THEY'RE
JUST. AN ESTIMATE HOW THE
SPECIFICS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE
STATE AND CITY THEY'RE NOT
NECESSARILY- JUST BRAIDED BY. BY
A CROSSWALK. THE ALL PROTEST
PATEL CHEN SO THERE IS THAT. IT
COULD BE ANYWHERE ON THE STREET
THAT THEY WERE STRUCK BY A
VEHICLE NOT JUST IN THE
CROSSWALK WHERE THERE'S A VISION
ISSUE. THAT THAT'S THAT'S RIGHT
SENATOR IN IN JUST GENERAL IN
TERMS OF PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES
THAT'S RIGHT I THE POINT I WAS
JUST AS TRYING TO MAKE IN THE
TESTIMONY TO CLARIFY. IS THAT
RIGHT IN GENERAL IF YOU LOOK AT
EVEN JUST ON A ON A PHYSICS
DOUBLE THE MOST TURBULENT FLOW
HAPPENS WHERE THERE IS TO CUT
CROSSINGS HAPPENING AND THAT'S
THAT'S AN INTERSECTION AND- YOU
CAN KIND OF LOOK AT TRAFFIC
FLOODING AND EXCESS. AS PHYSICS
AND THAT WAY AND THAT'S WHERE
THE MOST DANGEROUS AREAS ARE IS
BECAUSE YOU HAVE MULTIPLE
COMPETING FACTORS COLLIDING CARS
VEHICLES PEDESTRIANS BICYCLISTS
ETCETERA. OKAY THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR DOLLY AND I THINK WE
HAVE A MOTION BY SENATOR ARCH
ALETTA. ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHICH
LIKE TO CLOSE. I THANK EVERYONE
FOR YOUR GREAT QUESTIONS YOU
KNOW THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SIMPLE
KIND OF THINGS IF YOU'VE EVER
BEEN. FRUSTRATED TRYING TO CROSS
THE STREET AND YOU CAN'T. FIND
OTHER DRIVING OR ON FOOT BECAUSE
IS A BIG CAR ON THE WAY THIS IS
REALLY WHAT IT'S MEANT TO DO. I
APPRECIATE ALL THE AMENDMENTS
ARE TAKEN TODAY I THINK IN THE
END YOU KNOW WE WANNA HAVE A
STANDARDIZED RULE BECAUSE WE
DON'T TO BE MORE CONFUSING FOR
DRIVERS WHERE. IN LOS ANGELES
ARE IN KERN COUNTY SUDDENLY THE
RULES ARE VERY VERY VASTLY
DIFFERENT I WANT TO GIVE THAT
NEW WANTS TO ABILITY TO DO SO
BECAUSE EVEN WITH IN A
JURISDICTION OF COURSE THERE ARE
DIFFERENT TYPES OF STREETS AND
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAPACITY. BUT
ONE HAVE A STANDARDIZED WILL
DOESN'T CONFUSE YOU OFF THE BAT
RIGHT IF THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS
THAT WE WANNA MAKE IS IF THEY'RE
EXCEPTIONS THE ROLE THEN YOU
KNOW. NOT SO THAT EVERYWHERE
ELSE IS SO DIFFERENT YOU NEVER
KNOW WHERE TO PARK RIGHT. AT THE
END OF THE DAY THIS IS ABOUT
IMPROVING. SAFETY FOR STREETS
INTERSECT BASS DRIVER. ALL RIGHT

THAT AN ESTIMATED SIXTEEN
HUNDRED KELLY CONVERTERS ARE
STILL IN CALIFORNIA EACH MONTH

MUCH AS FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER INCIDENT. KHALEKE INVERTERS
ARE NECESSARY PART OF VEHICLES

SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
EXAMPLE RHODIUM IS WORTH EIGHT
TIMES THE PRICE OF GOLD AT OVER
FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS PER
OUNCE- THE- THEFT. AT WHAT WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT THAT FOR. A
PUBLISHERS CAN REMOVE A

CALIFORNIA FROM JULY FIRST TO
TWENTY. TWO DIAPERS TWENTY
TWENTY TO JUNE THIRTIETH TWENTY
TWENTY ONE AND CALIFORNIA
ACCOUNTS 437% OF ALL CALIBERS
THAT CLAIMS ASIAN WHITE. THIS
BILL REQUIRES INDIVIDUALS WITH
NINE OR MORE KELLY CONVERTERS
CUT FROM A MOTOR VEHICLE TO

MAILERS. THIS BILL CRACKS DOWN A
RAPID CAL KALICH CONVERSED AFTER
AN UNLICENSED IS MILLING BY

DISCOURAGE THE EVE AND BRING

OF THE CALIFORNIA POLICE CHIEFS
ASSOCIATION ALL FALL THE BREVITY
OF THE AUTHOR HERE. I WILL SAY
THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THE
LEGISLATURE CAN DO TO HELP LAW

TIED LAWS AROUND THE POSSESSION
OF STOLEN CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
IF WE ARE NOT THERE TO WITNESS
THE CRIME IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD
TO PROSECUTE- AND AS WAS
MENTIONED THEY CAN DETACH THESE
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS IN A MATTER
OF MINUTES. SO IT'S VERY VERY
HARD TO BE THERE AT THE TIME
THAT THE- CRIME IS OCCURRING. SO
WE SUPPORT THIS BILL WHOLE
HEARTEDLY- IT'S INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT TO THIS ISSUE WHICH IS
A STATEWIDE ISSUE. AT EVERY

COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. AB FOUR
SEVEN SIX SEEKS TO CLARIFY. THE
SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY TO BE ABLE TO
BUILD A DIGITAL DISPLAY. IN ONE
LOCATION TO DISPLAY COUNTY WIDE
PUBLIC MESSAGES AND
ANNOUNCEMENTS. THE CENTRAL
GOVERNMENT IS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC
SAFETY INFORMED THE PUBLIC TO
ENSURE. EFFECTIVE OPERATIONS.
MORE THAN EVER. THE WAY THAT
CONSTITUENTS RECEIVE INFORMATION
HAS SHIFTED TO DIGITAL MEDIA
MAKING IT. MAKING THIS COP COST
EFFECTIVE WAY TO SHARE
INFORMATION WITH THE COMMUNITY.
THE SIMPLE CLARIFICATION WILL
ENSURE SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY
RESIDENTS RECEIVE THE MOST UP TO
DATE PUBLIC INFORMATION AND
ANNOUNCEMENTS IN IN IN A TIMELY
FASHION WITH ME TO TESTIFY TODAY
IS MATT GARBER. THE ASSISTANT
DIRECTOR OF SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY
HEALTH CARE SERVICES AGENCY TO
TESTIFY ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THE
COMMITTEE MAY I. THANK YOU
WELCOME. THANK YOU- TERM MEMBER
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
TESTIFY ON THIS BILL- WE'RE
GRATEFUL TO THE AUTHOR IN THIS
COMMITTEE FOR ALLOWING US 2%
THIS BILL TO ALLOW GREATER
FLEXIBILITY IN OUR COUNTY TO
SHARE VITAL NON COMMERCIAL
INFORMATION QUICKLY WITH OUR
COMMUNITY. SPECIFICALLY THE PLAN
DIGITAL DISPLAY WILL PRIMARILY
BE USED TO DISPLAY PUBLIC HEALTH
MESSAGING CAMPAIGNS AND OTHER
IMPORTANT SAFETY ADVISORIES IN
THE FORM OF MESSAGING CAMPAIGNS
INCLUDING. PUBLIC SERVICE PUBLIC
SERVICE ADVISORIES CAMPAIGNS TO
RAISE AWARENESS TO THE COMMUNITY
PROMOTING COUNTY SERVICES
AVAILABLE AVAILABLE TO THE
PUBLIC AND LOCAL AND REGIONAL
EMERGENCY ADVISORIES AND ALERTS.
WITH THE EVER EXPENSIVE ACCESS
TO INFORMATION IT'S VITAL THAT
OUR COUNTY HAS DEVELOPED A BILL
ABILITY TO SPREAD AWARENESS AND
KNOWLEDGE WITHIN OUR
JURISDICTION ESPECIALLY FOR
MESSAGING FOCUSED ON PUBLIC
HEALTH AND SAFETY. WE SHARE AN
UNDERSTANDING WITH THE COMMITTEE
THAT THE COUNTY SAN JOAQUIN
COULD RESELL THIS PARCEL OF LAND
TO COMBINE TO COMPLY WITH THE
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING ACT HOWEVER
FOR GOVERNMENT ENTITY TO HAVE TO
REZONE A VERY SMALL PORTION OF
LAND EVERY TIME THEY WISH TO
RACK THE DIGITAL DISPLAY. ON
COUNTY OWNED PROPERTY ADDS TO
THE UNNECESSARY RED TAPE OF A
PROJECT DESIGNED SIMPLY TO BURKE
TO BROADCAST PUBLIC
NOTIFICATIONS FOR THE GOOD OF
THE COMMUNITY IN A MANNER THAT
DOES NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC PROFIT
OR MONETIZATION COMPONENT. NOR
WOULD IT BENEFIT PRIVATE AGENCY
ENERGY AN ENTITY OR PERSONS-
WE'VE DISCUSSED WITH ZONING
OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE
COUNTY- I INCLUDING MAPPING OFF
A SECTION OF THE DESIRED PARCEL
TO CREATE ANOTHER SMALLER
STRANDED PARCEL. AND SO ON THAT
LAND AS COMMERCIAL TO CONFORM
WITH THE CURRENT LAW HOWEVER
DOING SO WOULD INVITE FUTURE
PRESSURES TO DO SOMETHING
SIMILAR FOR PRIVATE ENTITIES.
AND THE COUNTY WANTS TO AVOID
CREATING THAT PRESIDENT IN SAN
JOAQUIN COUNTY AND BEYOND. AB
FOUR SEVENTY SIX WOULD PROVIDE
THE RELIEF THE COUNTIES LOOKING
FOR WITHOUT SETTING A LAND USE
PRESIDENT FOR REZONING OF SMALL
PARCELS OF LAND TO. TECHNICALLY
COMPLY WITH THE LETTER OF THE
LAW. THE AUTHORIZATION IN
PROVIDED BY A BEFORE SEVENTY SIX
WOULD BE INCREDIBLY VALUABLE TO
THE RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY OF
SAN JOAQUIN AND POTENTIALLY
THOSE. THE TRAVEL ON THE
INTERSTATE TO RECEIVE NON
COMMERCIAL ESSENTIAL PUBLIC
MESSAGING IT AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOR THE SAFETY AND BENEFIT. OF

ALL RIGHT ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WELCOME. YEAH. I THINK YOU'VE
GOT THE BILL OF THE DAY TODAY SO
FILE ITEM EIGHT. AB THREE
SIXTEEN ASSEMBLY MEMBER WELCOME
. GOOD TIMING US. OKAY. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS THE GOAL
OF AB THREE SIXTY IS SIMPLE.
FULL TESTING AND FULL DEPLOYMENT
OF AN ADONIS VEHICLE OVER TEN
THOUSAND POUNDS CAN BE PERMITTED
BY THE DMB TO OPERATE ON PUBLIC
ROADS IN CALIFORNIA WHILE WE
AWAIT THE ANALYSIS OF SAFETY
DATA AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
LEGISLATURE BY THE EXECUTIVE
BRANCH THAT VEHICLE MUST BE
ACCOMPANIED BY A QUALIFIED HUMAN
SAFETY OPERATOR. THERE IS
NOTHING THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT A
HUMAN SAFETY OPERATOR THE
PREVENTS THE AUTONOMOUS TRUCKING
INDUSTRY FROM TESTING AND
DEPLOYING AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
ANYWHERE IN CALIFORNIA. THE ONLY
CONCEIVABLE MOTIVATION FOR
RUSHING FORWARD WITHOUT A
MONITOR IT MONITOR IN THE CAB IS
TO INCREASE PROFITS AT THE RISK
OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE
LIVELIHOODS OF OUR TRAINED
EXPERT TRACKING WORKFORCE. THE
ROLL OUT OF LIGHT DUTY
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES IN SAN
FRANCISCO IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE
OF WHY THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD BE
INVOLVED. IN THE FINAL DECISION
MAKING ON PERSONALISED. EIGHT
EIGHTY THOUSAND POUND TRUCKS.
HUNDREDS OF INCIDENTS WITH
DRIVERLESS AUTONOMOUS CARS HAVE
PROMPTED THE CITY PUBLIC SAFETY
OFFICIALS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS
TO PLEAD WITH THE CPUC TERRAIN
IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVERLESS
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. THEIR
EXPERIENCE A REVIEW OF THE DATA
DO NOT CONCLUDE THIS DEPLOYMENT
HAS BEEN SAFE. YOU CAN SEE ON MY
MAP THIS YEAR. I'M THAT THE
INCIDENTS COVER DOWNTOWN SAN
FRANCISCO AND MORE INCIDENTS ARE
BEING REPORTED ON A WEEKLY
BASIS. IF THE COMPANIES DECIDE
TO DO SO UNDER SELF REPORTING.
IN THESE INCIDENTS DRIVERLESS
VEHICLE STOPS SUDDENLY. IMPEDING
TRAFFIC AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS
AND OTHERS THEY ARE BLOCKED
EMERGENCY VEHICLES INCLUDING
PREVENTING POLICE FROM
RESPONDING TO A MASS SHOOTING.
THE VEHICLES HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH
EMERGENCY SCENES INTO DETERRED
DOWNED WIRES EVEN ONE DROVE AWAY
FROM POLICE OFFICERS DURING A
VEHICLE SHOPPERS STOP. MEANWHILE
THE COMPANIES DEPLOYING THE
TECHNOLOGY ARE PULLING OUT ALL
THE STOPS LOBBYING FOR EXPANSION
OVER THE PASSION OBJECTION OF
LOCAL OFFICIALS. LET ME MAKE
THIS CLEAR. SENATORS I BELIEVE
THAT THIS TICKET MISTER
TECHNOLOGY HAS GREAT POTENTIAL.
WHICH IS WHY THIS BILL A
FORMALLY RECOGNIZES WE SHOULD
MOVE FORWARD WITH FULL TESTING
AND DEPLOYMENT OF THESE VEHICLES
. THAT BUT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
NO REASON TO BELIEVE THE
SERVICES SO EXPERIENCE WON'T BE
REPEATED IN TESTING DRIVERLESS
TRUCKS. IF YOU THINK YOU
RECEIVED A VISITOR TO FROM OUR
COLLEAGUES IN THE THIRD HOUSE
DOING THEIR JOB WITH GREAT
ENERGY. WITHOUT THIS BILL THAT
EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF LOVE IN
LOBBYING WILL TURN TO THE
EXECUTIVE BRANCH. NOT IN
COMMITTEE HEARINGS OR YOUR
OFFICES BUT OUT OF THE PUBLIC
EYE. AND JUST LIKE SAN FRANCISCO
POTENTIALLY OVER THE PASSIONATE
OBJECTIONS OF OUR CONSTITUENTS
CONSTITUENTS AND LOCAL PUBLIC
PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICIALS. UNLIKE
SAN FRANCISCO TAXIS THESE
VEHICLE VEHICLES WAY AN EXTRA
SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND POUNDS DR
IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER SPEEDS
THE PRESENT AN EXPERT AT A
GREATER THREAT TO THE PUBLIC. WE
NEED THE DATA COLLECTION AND
REPORTING OF AB THREE SIXTEEN TO
GET REAL SENSE OF THE BROADER
IMPACTS OF AV TRACKING
TECHNOLOGY. IF THE INDUSTRY IS
TRUE TO THEIR WORD THEY SHOULD
SHARE OUR INTEREST IN STUDYING
THE EMPLOYEE NEEDS OF THE FUTURE
INSTEAD OF RUSHING TO ELIMINATE
ARE TRAINED AND CAPABLE WORKERS.
WHO THEY SAY WILL BE NEEDED TO
MEET FUTURE NEEDS. FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND OF FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND OF OUR BROTHERS AND
SISTERS WORKING IN THE TRUCKING
INDUSTRY CANNOT BE AN
AFTERTHOUGHT IN THE RUSH TO
ELIMINATE DRIVERS TO INCREASE
PROFITS. ALL THIS BILL DOES IS
INCLUDE THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
OF GOVERNMENT IN A MORE
TRANSPARENT PROCESS AS THE FINAL
DECISION IS MADE TO REMOVE
HUMANS. ANSWER TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS. IT A FIRMLY LAYS
THE GROUNDWORK FOR COMPANIES TO
TEST AND DEPLOY AUTONOMOUS
TRUCKS AND IT CONTAINS A
STATUTORY TRIGGER FOR
LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATION OF
FINAL APPROVAL OF DRIVERLESS
OPERATION BASED ON REAL DATA.
ANALYZED BY THE SAFETY EXPERTS
IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. THEY
WILL THEN APPEAR IN THE HEARING
TO AND THEY WILL THEN APPEAR IN
A HEARING TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ELECT TO
LEGISLATORS AT THAT TIME. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK HER AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND IT
LOOKS LIKE I'VE GOT- YOU'VE GOT
OF COURSE YOUR LEAD SPONSOR
WHICH IS THE TEAMSTERS. ANYONE
WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD AS A
LEAD WITNESS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU JUERGENS ALMOST.
AND THE SENATE TRANSPORTATION
COMMITTEE FOR LISTENING TO THE
IMPORTANCE OF AB THREE SIXTEEN.
MY NAME IS PATRICK CARED. I'VE
BEEN DRIVING TRUCKS FOR FORTY
EIGHT YEARS. MY DAD WANTED ME TO
BE AN ARCHITECT I WANTED TO
DRIVE TRUCKS. I INITIATED INTO
THE OLDEST TEAMSTER LOCAL WEST
OF THE MISSISSIPPI WHEN I WAS
TWENTY THREE YEARS OLD. ALL THE
NEW I'VE DRIVEN THEM ALL AND I'M
HERE TO TALK ABOUT WHY AB THREE
SIXTEEN NEEDS TO BE PASSED AS A
PRECAUTIONARY SAFETY MEASURE FOR
ANY VEHICLE OVER TEN THOUSAND
POUNDS. RECENTLY I TOOK A LOADED
NEW ORLEANS IN A TRUCK SO NEW
THE NATIONWIDE FLEET OWNER HAD
NOT EVEN COMPLETED THE
INTERSTATE PERMIT PROCESS UNTIL
I GOT AS FAR AS THE NEW MEXICO
PORT OF ENTRY. THIS EIGHTY
THOUSAND POUND VEHICLE HAD ALL
THE NEWEST HIGH TECH SENSORS
WARNING DEVICES FLASHING LIGHTS
VIBRATORS SPEED INHIBITORS. AND
A FEATURE THAT AUTOMATICALLY
SLAMS ON THE BRAKES. THIS IS THE
SAME SOLUTION INCORPORATED INTO
FULLY AUTONOMOUS TRUCKS TO DEAL
WITH SUDDEN SENSOR RELATED
EVENTS. NO EVASIVE ACTION JUST A
SUDDEN FULL STOP. PICTURE THAT
ON I. FIVE ANYWHERE FROM EUREKA
TO SAN DIEGO WITH THE TRAFFIC
FLOW SEVENTY PLUS MILES PER HOUR
ANYTIME. DAY OR NIGHT IN
INCLEMENT WEATHER OR EMERGENCY
SITUATION. THEY'LL TELL YOU THE
ECONOMIST TRUCKS WILL MAKE OUR
HIGHWAYS SAFER DON'T BELIEVE. I
HAVE TWO MILLION MILES OF
ACCIDENT FREE DRIVING. IN MY
CAREER. I CAN'T COUNT THE TIMES
MY AWARENESS SOME REACTIONS HAVE
AVOIDED SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES TO
THE HUMAN BEINGS AROUND ME.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE DEVELOPERS
WILL TELL YOU THESE VEHICLES
WILL RELIEVE TRAFFIC CONGESTION
THE MAP SAYS THAT ONLY THAT THE
ONLY THING THAT CHANGES IN THAT
EQUATION IS ONE LESS HUMAN
OPERATOR. THEY'LL SAY THESE ARE
JOBS NOBODY WANTS WHERE WE HEARD
THAT BEFORE. AND THERE WILL BE
OTHER JOBS WE CAN DO LIKE
PACKING BOXES OR DOING I. T.
WORKER MAYBE EVEN MANAGEMENT.
THEY SAY WILL REDUCE CONSUMER
PRICES. JUST LOOK AT YOUR CELL
DEVICE AND ASK YOURSELF WHEN WAS
THE LAST TIME THAT HAPPENED.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT ANY OF THESE
THINGS THIS IS ABOUT MARKET
SHARE AND PROFITS FOR AUTONOMOUS
VEHICLE DEVELOPERS MANUFACTURERS
AND LARGE SHIPPERS. YES THERE IS
A NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE OF DRIVERS
WHY BECAUSE A LARGE TRUCK
CARRIERS MOVED OUT OF CALIFORNIA
STATES LIKE UTAH TENNESSEE
ALABAMA ARIZONA TO PAY LOWER
WAGES AND AVOID USE TAXES AND
REGULATIONS. NOW THEY WANT TO
OPERATE BACK INTO OUR STATE.
PEOPLE JUST WANT TO BE PAID A
FAIR WAGE FOR THE TYPE OF WORK
THEY PERFORM. THE DEVELOPERS IN
THEIR PROPONENTS LIKE TO USE
INITIALS TO DESCRIBE WHAT
THEY'RE PUSHING AV EIGHT FIVE.
SO THAT YOU DON'T ACTUALLY THINK
ABOUT WHAT THAT MEANS SAY THE
WORDS AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LET
THOSE WORDS SINK IN. AND THEN
THINK ABOUT THE WORD FAMILY
FRIENDS CHILDREN GRANDCHILDREN
REAL PEOPLE ON OUR HIGHWAYS. THE
SENATE THE THING THAT SEPARATES
HUMAN BEINGS FROM ANIMALS IS THE
VERY SAME THING THAT SEPARATES
HUMAN DRIVERS FROM FULLY
AUTONOMOUS TEN THOUSAND POUND
VEHICLES CONTROLLED BY
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE
ABILITY TO THINK AND REASON.
THAT'S WHY I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
AB THREE SIXTEEN TODAY. AND
ENSURE THERE IS A QUALIFIED
LICENSED OPERATOR IN EVERY
VEHICLE OVER TEN THOUSAND POUNDS
. THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE ANOTHER LEAD
WITNESS IN SUPPORT TAMMY
FRIEDRICH TRACK. THANK YOU
WELCOME HI GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS TAMMY FREDRICK I'M THE
CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE TRUCKS
THEY DO COALITION AND BOARD
MEMBER FOR CRASH CITIZENS FOR
RELIABLE AND SAFE HIGHWAYS AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY I'M A VOLUNTEER
. I'VE BEEN A VOLUNTEER FOR OVER
THIRTY YEARS MY SISTER AND HER
ENTIRE FAMILY WERE ALL KILLED IN
A TRUCK CRASH WITH A GASOLINE
TANKER ON THE TEN FREEWAY IN
CLAREMONT CALIFORNIA. THE TRUCK
SAFETY COALITION HAS BEEN
FIGHTING FOR PROVEN COMMONSENSE
SAFETY REFORMS SINCE OUR
FOUNDING. TESTED AND PROVEN
SAFETY TECH EXIST THAT HAS NOT
WIDELY BEEN ADOPTED. CALIFORNIA
WOULD DO WELL TO INCENTIVIZE THE
USE OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES THAT
HAVE ALREADY BEEN PROVEN TO SAVE
LIVES. LARGE TRUCK AUTOMATED
DRIVING SYSTEMS ADS HAVE NO
STATE OR FEDERAL PERFORMANCE OR
REGULATIONS WHAT'S MORE. AB
MANUFACTURERS HAVE LACKED
TRANSPARENCY REPEATEDLY TELLING
LAWMAKERS DISENGAGEMENT AND
TESTING DATA NECESSARY TO
UNDERSTAND AND EVALUATE PROGRESS
AND PERFORMANCE IS PROPRIETARY.
CALIFORNIA'S EXISTING AUTOMATED
VEHICLE TESTING FRAMEWORK HAS
INFURIATED THE PUBLIC AND
EMERGENCY RESPONDERS IN SAN
FRANCISCO AND DOES NOT INSPIRE.
CONFIDENCE THAT THE TIME HAS
COME TO HIM UNLEASH DRIVERLESS
EIGHTY THOUSAND POUND TRUCKS ON
THE HIGHWAYS. DESPITE THEIR
PROMISING POTENTIAL IT MUST BE
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT UNREGULATED AB
TRUCKS POSE A THREAT TO HUMAN
LIFE. CONSIDER TO SIMPLE STORY
THERE AB TRUCK MALFUNCTIONED AND
WITHOUT WARNING TURN THE TRUCK
SHARPLY TOWARD A GUARD RAIL. IF
ANOTHER VEHICLE HAD BEEN THERE
ITS PASSENGERS COULD EASE HAVE
EASILY BEEN KILLED. THANK
GOODNESS HUMAN SAFETY OPERATORS
WERE THERE ATTENTIVE AND ABLE TO
TAKE DECISIVE ACTION TO AVERT
CATASTROPHE. AB THREE SIXTEEN
MAKE SURE THAT HAPPENS.
CALIFORNIANS DID NOT SIGN UP TO
BEGINI PIGS IN DRIVERLESS
EXPERIMENTS ON OUR ROADS IT IS
RECKLESS AND WRONG TO FORCE
PEOPLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
EXPERIMENT WITHOUT REASONABLE
SAFEGUARDS SUCH AS RETAINING A
HUMAN SAFETY OPERATOR IN CASE
THE UNEXPECTED HAPPENS. SAFETY
MUST BE KEPT THE TOP PRIORITY
WHILE IT'S NECESSARY AND
IMPORTANT A THOMAS TRACKING
TESTING AND RESEARCH CONTINUES
WHICH IS WHY I URGE THIS BODY TO
PASS AB THREE SIXTEEN THANK YOU
. THANK YOU VERY MUCH RIGHT NOW
WILL MOVE ON TO OPPOSITION WE
HAVE LEAD WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION AERIAL WOLF- AS WELL
AS JOHN ROSS INSTRUMENTS. HI
GOOD AFTERNOON- CHOI GONZALEZ
MEMBERS. JOHN ROSS HERE IN
OPPOSITION TO WOULD YOU DUBBED
THE BILL OF THE DAY RECEIVAL THE
DAY ANYWAY LET ME BEGIN BY
SAYING WHAT WE AGREE WITH- WE
AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR ABOUT. FOR
A VIS. THOMAS TRUCKS SHOULD NOT
BE ON THE ROADS UNTIL THEIR
DEMONSTRATED TO BE SAFE I THINK
THE PROPONENTS BELIEVE THAT WE
BELIEVE THAT- THE POINT OF
DISAGREEMENT IS OVER HOW YOU
MAKE THAT DECISION. OUR VIEW
BASED ON THE HISTORY AROUND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF BABIES IN THE
STATE IS THAT THOSE DECISIONS
SHOULD BE MADE BY SAFETY EXPERTS
. IN BY SAFETY EXPERTS ALONG.
LET'S REMEMBER HOW WE GOT HERE
IN TWENTY TWELVE THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED SB TWELVE NINETY EIGHT BY
CENTER ALEX PADILLA. WHAT
MOTIVATED PASSAGE OF THAT BILL
WAS THE PROMISE OF IMPROVE
SAFETY AT THE TIME. AND STILL IT
IS ESTIMATED THAT ECONOMISTS
VEHICLES. WILL SAVE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF LIVES ANNUALLY. THE
BILL WAS PASSED TO ENCOURAGE THE
DEVELOPMENT OF AV TECHNOLOGY IN
CALIFORNIA. AND IN RESPONSE. TO
CALIFORNIA PASSING THIS PERSON
THE NATION LEGISLATION-
PIONEERING COMPANIES HAVE SPENT
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS DEVELOPING
THAT. TECHNOLOGY HERE FOR THE
BENEFIT OF RESIDENTS HERE. THEN
LIKE NOW THERE WAS CONSIDERABLE
UNEASE ABOUT LEADING CARS ON THE
ROAD WITHOUT DRIVERS. SOME
SUGGESTED REQUIRING A SECOND GO
TO THE LEGISLATURE BEFORE FULLY
AUTONOMOUS CARS COULD OPERATE.
THE LEGISLATURE OPTING INSTEAD
TO HAVE THE DMV AND SEES P. MAKE
THESE DECISIONS ON A COMPANY BY
COMPANY BASIS. THAT WAS THE
RIGHT DECISION THEN AND IT'S THE
RIGHT DECISION NOW FOR SEVERAL
REASONS. FIRST REGULATORS CAN
MAKE NEW ONCE DECISIONS BASED
UPON THE STRENGTHS AND
WEAKNESSES OF EACH APPLICATION
AND IMPOSE ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS AS NEEDED TO ENSURE
SAFE OPERATION. OF A PARTICULAR
COMPANY'S TECHNOLOGY. SECOND THE
REGULATORS HAVE TIME RESOURCES
AND EXPERTISE TO SOLICIT BROAD
PUBLIC INPUT IN CAREFULLY CRAFT
SAFETY STANDARDS. AND FINALLY
THE LEGISLATURE UNDERSTOOD IN
TWENTY TWELVE THE REQUIRING THE
SUBSEQUENT VOTE OF THE OF A
FUTURE LEGISLATURE TO AUTHORIZE
ATOMIC A THOMAS VEHICLES WOULD
SHOW INVESTMENT IN THE STATE.
AND THE SAME HOLDS TRUE TODAY.
WHAT THE DATE WITH THE
LEGISLATURE DID REQUIRE. TEN
YEARS AGO. I IN TWELVE NINETY
EIGHT WAS APPROPRIATE TO ENSURE
APPROPRIATE LEGISLATIVE
OVERSIGHT WAS NOTICE FROM THE
DMV TO THE LEGISLATURE ONE
RECEIVED AN APPLICATION OPERATE
A FULLY AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE. AND
THEN A HUNDRED EIGHTY DAY
WAITING PERIOD BEFORE THE ACTUAL
APPLICATION COULD BE APPROVED.
THAT WE BELIEVE WAS AN
APPROPRIATE SOLUTION THEN WHICH
SERVE TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO ENGAGE IF
THEY STOP BACKS OR HAD CONCERNS-
BUT IT DIDN'T CREATE A BARRIER-
THAT WOULD PREVENT- DEPLOYMENT
OF THIS- TECHNOLOGY AND
INVESTMENT THIS TECHNOLOGY.
ABSENT A SUBSEQUENT LEGISLATIVE
VOTE I HAVE WITH ME TODAY IF
NEEDED. DR MATTHEW SCHWALL AYE
WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF SAFETY
AND WAY MO HE CAN RESPOND ANY
PARTICULAR QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR
TECHNOLOGY AND THEIR EXPERIENCE.
IN DEVELOPING THIS THESE TRUCKS.
THANKS THANK YOU WHERE DID YOU
HAVE TESTIMONY AT THIS TIME OR I
KNOW THAT THERE'S AERIAL WOLF AS
WELL AS THAT AND LOOK OUT I'M
SORRY. MY APOLOGIES MITCHELL
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. CHECKING
DOLLARS MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS ARGHA WOLF AND I'M IN
THE GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION. HERE IN RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION TO AB THREE SIXTEEN.
LIKE TO MAKE TWO POINTS AND THEN
CAN BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS FIRST. WE RECOGNIZE
THE PASSION THE SINCERITY. OF
THE SPONSOR AND THE SUPPORTERS
OF THIS BILL. BUT IN ITS CURRENT
FORM. THIS BILL IS NOT A
GUARDRAIL IS A TOTAL SHUT DOWN
OF A MULTI A BILL BILLION DOLLAR
INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA. THAT'S
BECAUSE IT REQUIRES A HUMAN
OPERATOR TO BE IN THE VEHICLE
FOREVER IN PERPETUITY. THERE IS
NO SUNSET BECAUSE IN ORDER TO
REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT THE
LEGISLATURE HAS TO ACT AGAIN. AT
THE EARLIEST IN SIX YEARS. NO
COMPANY CAN PLANTS OPERATE IN
CALIFORNIA WITHOUT THE CERTAINTY
THAT THE TECHNOLOGY WILL ONE DAY
OPERATE DRIVERLESS. THAT'S THE
FUNDAMENTAL BUSINESS CASE. OF
AUTONOMOUS TRUCKING. WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK WHY SUCH A
DRASTIC MEASURE IS BEING ADVANCE
NOW ESPECIALLY AS REGULATORY
PROCESS CONTINUES AS IT HAS. FOR
THE PAST ELEVEN YEARS. WE'VE
HEARD. ABOUT SAFETY CONCERNS AND
ONE ADDRESS THAT'S BEEN
DIRECTLY. AND IN DOING SO WANNA
READ DIRECTLY FROM THE
COMMITTEE'S OWN ANALYSIS OF THE
SUBJECT. QUOTE THE SAFETY RECORD
OF AB TRUCKS APPEARS TO BE FINE
SO FAR CLOSE QUOTE THAT'S ON
PAGE FOUR. QUOTE CALIFORNIA'S
EXPERIENCE WITH LIGHT DUTY AV'S
DEMONSTRATES THAT THEY ARE SAFE
AND HAVE RESULTED IN NO MAJOR
INJURIES ALSO ON PAGE FOUR.
DIRECTLY TO PAGE SIX AS WELL FOR
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS.
SORKIN CERN IS THAT A RUSHED
PROPOSAL. THAT WOULD SHUT DOWN
AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY IN CALIFORNIA
BEFORE CAN EVEN START. AND ONE
OF THIS COMMITTEE'S OWN ANALYSIS
SAYS IT'S SAFE THESE ARE THE
FACTS THAT WERE ADDRESSING HERE
SO RESPECTFULLY. WE URGE THE
COMMITTEE TO TAKE A STEP BACK
AND WORK TO STRIKE THE RIGHT
BALANCE. AND WE STAND READY TO
HELP AND WORK WITH THE SPONSOR
AND WITH MEMBERS. YEAH AND WE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD
KEEP A DRIVER IN REQUIREMENT FOR
TWO YEARS AND THEN SUNSET THAT
TO ALLOW THE DMV'S RULE MAKING
PROCESS TO CONTINUE AS IT HAS
BEEN UNDER WAY FOR MORE THAN AS
I SAID TEN YEARS. IN CONCLUSION
WE WANT TO PRESERVE CALIFORNIA'S
ROLE AS THE LEAD STATE FOR AV
TECHNOLOGY BUT FAILURE TO ACT
HERE WOULD SEE THIS VITAL
INDUSTRY OF THE FUTURE TO OTHER
STATES. THAT ARE EAGER TO
WELCOME THE JOBS IN THE SAFETY
BENEFITS THAT IS ALREADY
PROVIDING. AVAILABLE TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THANK
YOU OKAY THANK YOU VERY MUCH

FOR THE CITY I GUESS I JUST
WANTED TO GET A BETTER
UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIME FRAME
HERE AND THE REASON THE RICE YOU
THINK WE'VE- AND ONE OF THINGS
WE KEEP HEARING FROM OTHER FOLKS
IN INDUSTRY IS THAT THIS IS A
YOU KNOW THE REGULATORY PROCESS
THAT OVERSEES. THE ROLL OUT OF
THESE AB TRUCKS IS JUST LET IT
TAKES YEARS AND WE'VE GOT DMV
WORKING ON THIS WE GOT C. H. P.
WORKING ON- REGULATIONS AS WELL
AND SO WHAT IS IN YOUR PLAY WITH
THE EXISTING REGULATORY WORK-
FROM FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE. WELL
MY PERSPECTIVE IS THAT YOU KNOW-
IT HAS TO BE TESTED ISRAEL KNOWN
THE TRIGGER FOR REMOVING THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HUMAN
SAVING SAFETY OPERATOR. WILL BE
ALL ABOUT SAFETY. AND AS SOON AS
WE CAN PROVE THAT- WE CAN MOVE
FORWARD- NOBODY IN THIS BODY AND
CERTAINLY NOBODY IN THE INDUSTRY
WITH A HUGE PROFIT MOTIVE MARCH
MARCH. MOTIVE CAN GIVE ME A DATE
AND TIME WILL BE SAFE AND
ANNOUNCED NUMEROUS TIMES WINDOWS
BE THE SAFE IN EACH ONE THE
COMPANIES AND THE WONDERFUL
PEOPLE SO GET ME WRONG. THE SO
MAYBE THREE YEARS WELL MAYBE THE
SIXERS WELL WE DON'T WE DON'T
KNOW SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THE
SOME DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM ON
THESE AND SO THAT WE CAN MAKE
SOME GOOD DECISIONS. IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR ME IS NOT TO HAVE
THIS DONE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
ALL TIMES ONCE THE GOES TO DMB
OR TO OTHER AGENCIES WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED THE
BACKGROUND. BUT WITH BRINGING
OUT TO THE PUBLIC AND THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS WE'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO SEE THAT THIS IS
WORKING RIGHT IF NOT. YOU KNOW I
THINK ABOUT- WE HAD THE CITY OF
SAN FRANCISCO HERE. AND GOD
BLESS THEM I MEAN THEY'VE SEEN
THIS WITH ALL DUE RESPECT- THEY
KNOW THAT THE SAFETY OF
OFFICIALS. I DO NOT AGREE WITH
THE ROLLOUT IN THEIR CITY AND
THAT IT HASN'T BEEN SAFE. SO TO
ME IS THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
IT'S SAFE AND THEN WE CAN MOVE
IT ON- IF I WAS GIVEN TIME
FRAMES OR AT. ACCURATE BE ONE
THING BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN
THAT AND I DON'T SEE THAT
HAPPENING RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
INSTEAD WE HAVE A TRIGGER IN
THIS FOR THE LEGISLATIVE CUT OUR
CONSIDERATION FROM REMOVING THE
SAFETY OPERATORS. DMV NCH BE
WILL COLLECT THE DATA CONSULT
WITH SAFETY LABOR OFFICIALS. IN
THE ADMINISTRATION THEN. APPEAR
IN OVERSIGHT HEARINGS TO MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION. MAKING
ACCOUNTABLE MAKE IT TRANSPARENT
. YOU KNOW WHEN I GOT THIS JOB.
EVEN WHEN I WAS IN THE CITY
COUNCIL AND PLAN COMMISSION
PEOPLE ASKED ME WHAT WAS MY JOB.
THE NUMBER ONE JOB SAFETY. AND
THIS IS WHAT MY CONSISTENT
CONSTITUENTS US FOR. THIS IS A
WITH THE TEAMSTERS ARE ASKING
FOR THE DRIVERS. TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE SAFETY SO. I JUST THINK
THAT WE NEED TO KEEP OUR EYE ON
THE BALL. AND I THINK. IT I LOVE
THE TECHNOLOGY. I'VE TOLD
EVERYONE THIS WALK TO MY HOUSE
I'M NOT AGAINST THE TECHNOLOGY.
LET'S KEEP MOVING IT FORWARD BUT
WE NEED A HUMAN SAFETY OPERATOR
IN THERE TO MAKE SURE WORKS.
WELL I GUESS WHEN YOU'RE SAYING
YOU YOU YOU. KEEP ASKING ABOUT
WHEN IT'S GONNA BE SAFE WHAT. I
MEAN OBVIOUSLY THEY THEY'RE NOT
ABLE TO. YEAH THERE WERE THERE
DAHLE THIS IS IN BETA TESTING I
GUESS RIGHT NOW I MEAN WHAT.
WHAT HAVE YOU WHAT WHAT'S BEEN
THE CONSIDERATION OF CAN
REQUIRING CERTAIN METRICS YOU
KNOW CERTAIN SAFETY METRICS TO
BE MET. I'M AN ESPY EXPERT A TO
GIVE YOU WHAT THE METRICS COULD
BE I'M NOT. REAL FAMILIAR WITH
EXACTLY WILL THE METRICS WILL BE
BUT- MISTER GUS. THROUGH THE
CHART- AT CENTER THE WHAT WE'VE
BEEN GIVEN. FROM SOME OF THE
COMPANIES IS- A VERY SHORT TIME
FRAME. FOR A SUNSET THAT'S- BEEN
THE EXTENT OF IT- I'D I WOULD WE
ARE NOT ENGINEERS I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THOSE METRICS SHOULD BE. I
THINK THE APPROPRIATE THING IS
TO HAVE THE DMV IN THE CHP LOOK
AT THIS- AS THE BILL SETS OUT
FOR THE TESTING PERIOD WHICH IS
FIVE YEARS IN THE BILL. AND FOR
M. V. V. WHAT THE COMPANIES.
REFER TO AS THE EXPERTS TO COME
BACK AND TELL YOU. A THIS IS
SAFE AND WE SHOULDN'T HAVE A
HUMAN SAFETY OPERATOR
REQUIREMENT ANYMORE. OR WE
SHOULD CONTINUE WITH IT OR SOME
HYBRID- THAT. YOU KNOW WE CAN
ONLY GUESS ABOUT AT THIS POINT
IN TIME AND I THINK THAT'S THE
POINT. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH DATA
TO ACTUALLY MAKE A DECISION
ABOUT A SET TIME FRAME. SO FIVE
YEARS SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE
AMOUNT OF TIME TO LET THE
TESTING GO FORWARD. AS THE
COMPANY'S SAID. NOBODY'S GOING
TO BE ON THE ROAD- ANYTIME SOON
THAT GETS PLENTY OF TIME TO
DEVELOP THIS AND TO COME FOR THE
LEGISLATURE AND MAKE THEIR CASE.
AND I THINK IT'S AN APPROPRIATE
TRIGGER TO HAVE GIVEN THE AMOUNT
OF INFORMATION WE HAVE RIGHT
NOW. REPRESENTS TRIGGER RIGHT
IT'S JUST A REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE WELL IT IT IT WE
HAVE REPORTS ON TIME FROM ALL
SORTS OF GROUPS. CERTAINLY THE
BUT THE BILL DOES SPECIFY THAT
THE LEGISLATURE- WILL CONSIDER
IT AND MAKE THE DECISION BUT
SAID THEY BELIEVE IT SAYS IT ON
THE BILL TO. TO CONSIDER WHETHER
OR NOT THE HUMAN SAFETY
OPERATORS APPROPRIATE ANYMORE
AND I THINK THAT DOES CALL ON A
FUTURE LEGISLATOR AND- SOME OF
YOU WILL BE HERE THEN- TO YOU TO
MAKE THAT DECISION. VIVID HAVE
TO PROACTIVELY RUN YOUR BILL
RIGHT. CORRECT BUT THE OTHER.
ALTERNATIVE IS THAT THE LARGEST
DISAPPEARS WHICH I THINK IS WHAT
THE COMPANIES ARE ASKING FOR AND
WE DON'T THINK THAT'S
APPROPRIATE BECAUSE- WE DON'T
FEEL THAT. YOU WOULD HAVE THE
INFORMATION OR THE TRANSPARENCY
OR THE ABILITY TO REVISIT THAT
IF THAT WAS THE CASE- ONE OF
THINGS I THINK IT'S BEEN
DIFFICULT TO. GET GET HAD AROUND
IS JUST. THERE SEEMS THERE IS
THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES IN
THIS SPACE. AND VERY DIFFERENT
APPROACHES ARE YOU GOT SORT OF.
SOME THAT HAVE JUST. PUT STUFF
OUT THERE AND ASK QUESTIONS
LATER AND THERE OTHERS AS HE TO
BE A LOT MORE CAREFUL AND- AND-
AND- YOU KNOW. CONSERVATIVE IN
THE WAY THAT THEY'VE BEEN
DEPLOYING AND I THINK THAT'S ONE
OF THE CHALLENGES BECAUSE I
THINK THERE'S A LOT THERE'S
THERE ARE CERTAINLY SOME
COMPANIES THAT HAVE BEEN- YOU
KNOW. SETTING PRETTY BAD EXAMPLE
I THINK MADE IT KINDA MADE IT
REAL BAD FOR EVERYBODY ELSE IN
THE INDUSTRY- BECAUSE THEY'VE
THEY'VE THEY RUSHED OUT THIS
TECHNOLOGY TO QUICKLY- BUT THERE
ARE SOME THAT HAVE BEEN REALLY
VERY CAREFUL AND- IN THE BE
REWARDED. WELL AS A QUESTION AND
ANSWER A QUESTION- DO YOU THINK
SELL EITHER W. AWARDED. NO I'M
JUST SAYING I THINK THAT THERE
ARE SOME THAT ARE DEFINITELY
HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
THAT I'VE MET WITH SOME OF THE
EXPERTS. I WAS OF. DELIGHTED ON
SOME- SOME OF THE EXPERTS AND
SOME JUST. DIDN'T COME IN WITH
THE SOLUTION OR ANYTHING BUT
THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE WORKING
IN HEADED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
AND I THINK ARE WILLING TO WORK
WITH US. WITH THE DMV COLLECTING
DATA- I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER
OF TIME WITH. THE BIGGEST
PARADIGM SHIFT RIGHT. PEOPLE BIT
SCARED MISSILE. YOU KNOW BUT-
FOR ME. IT'S JUST ABOUT IT'S
ABOUT THE- SAFETY. AND I THINK
WE'RE GONNA GET THERE. YOU KNOW
THERE'S THINGS THAT ARE
FRUSTRATING TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT- THE DMV SUPPOSED TO PULL
PERMITS OF SOMEBODY'S NOT. A
GOOD ACTORS IN THE CURRENT WAY
WERE HAVE A TO A THOMAS CARS.
AND NOT ONE PERSON'S BEEN
REPRIMANDED YET. THERE'S TWO.
THE WHOLE BUNCH OF ROOM THAT ARE
PLAYING RIGHT SO I JUST THINK
THAT IT'S IMPORTANT THAT- WE USE
OUR- WE KEEP THE CONVERSATION
OPEN. AND WE WORK WITH OUR
EXPERTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
ON THIS. WILL GET THERE. AMCC MY
COLLEAGUES A COUPLE QUESTIONS
FIRST WE'RE GONNA GO TO SENATOR
NAY LOW AND THEN SENATOR DOLLY.
THANK YOU. MADAM CHAIR- I'VE
I'VE AGREED WITH YOUR OPENING
REMARKS AND IT'S THE WAY THAT I
LOOK AT IT ALSO THIS IS
PROMISING TECHNOLOGY. AND YOU AS
YOU AND I DISCUSSED IN MY
OFFICE- WE DO NEED. TO MAKE IT
SAFE- IN MY CONSIDERATION. I
WAS. THINKING ABOUT. WELL HOW DO
WE FOLLOW UP ON THIS DO WE LEAVE
IT UP TO SAFETY EXPERTS AS-
MISTER ROSS INDICATED OR DO WE
BRING IT BACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE. WHERE OF COURSE
POLITICS IS INVOLVED IN CAN
INFLUENCE IT BEYOND JUST. MERELY
THE USEFUL TECHNOLOGY I'D- I DID
CONCLUDE THAT I THINK IT MAKES
SENSE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE-
ELECTED BODY. AND YOU EMPHASIZED
IN YOUR COMMENTS THE- THAT THE
FUTURE VALUE OF THIS TECHNOLOGY
. AND THEN YOUR PRIMARY WITNESS
PROCEEDED IF I UNDERSTOOD HIM
CORRECTLY PROCEEDED TO TELL US
THAT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN AT ALL.
AND SO I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BY
THAT NOW I KNOW WHENEVER NEW
TECHNOLOGY. HITS PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT JOB LOSSES. IT'S
BEEN THE CASE SINCE THE
LUDDITES. THE LUDDITES KINDA
CARRIED IT TO AN EXTREME THEY
WENT AND DESTROYED FACTORIES BUT
THAT'S WHY THEY EARNED THAT.
FOREVER DESCRIPTOR OF THE
RESISTANCE TO TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE
OF CONCERNS OF JOB LOSSES NOW. I
GET THE CONCERNS BUT- SINCE THE
LUDDITES AND BEFORE THAT.
TECHNOLOGY HAS INCREASED.
INCREDIBLY AND YET. STAND
OVERALL STANDARD OF LIVING AND
THE ECONOMY AND JOBS AS A TOTAL
CONTINUE TO CLIMB. SO BUT I GET
THE FEAR I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT
AS I SAID THE PRIMARY MOTIVATION
IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR PRIMARY
WITNESSES TESTIMONY IS DON'T DO
IT AT ALL. THAT MAKES ME TAKE
PAUSE. IN TERMS OF HOW WE
PROCEED SO. HOW WOULD YOU. I
THINK IT'S JUST ANOTHER PARADIGM
SHIFT AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE
TIME FOR PEOPLE TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THIS- AND
I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO BE
HONORED THE WORKING MEMBERS OF
THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY AND
UNDERSTAND THEIR FEAR IN THE
MEANTIME WE CAN WORK ON THIS AS
WE GO FORWARD- IT'S NOT GOING TO
BE AN EASY CHANGE. AND- I THINK
THAT WE'VE GOT TO A- HONOR- WHAT
THEY'RE DOING AND I DON'T WANT
TO TURN MY BACK ON THEM AT ALL I
THINK THAT- YOU KNOW SUGGESTING
THAT YEAH AND I JUST THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT- I THINK YOU
KNOW THESE PEOPLE THE WORKERS.
M. AND OUR PEOPLE OR THEY GOT
BIG HEARTS IN THE DONE SO MANY.
WONDERFUL THINGS FOR A
COMMUNITIES I MEAN THIS IS
WORKING FAMILIES AND SO I HAVE
TO ON ONE HONOR THEM AS WELL
DURING THIS PROCESS SO. I THINK
THE WILL AT ALL. I THINK IT'S
GOING TO COME TOGETHER. JUST I'M
NOT GONNA HAVE THE ANSWER TODAY
AND NEITHER DO THEY- THANK YOU.
MR VICE CHAIR SENATOR DELHI.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS-
SO I ACTUALLY I. AM THE ONLY I
BELIEVE. SENATOR OR LEGISLATOR
THAT ACTUALLY. HAS A CLASS ONE
LICENSE. I'VE DRIVEN OVER A
MILLION MILES WITH ACCIDENT FREE
WE HAVE A LOT OF LAWS ABOUT
SAFETY. AS WE SHOULD- THESE ARE.
OBVIOUSLY HEAVY VEHICLES BUT
THIS THIS BILL- I WANT TO THANK
THE OFFERED AUTHOR FOR COMING TO
MY OFFICE AND SITTING DOWN WITH
ME AND TALKING ABOUT THIS BILL
BECAUSE IT IS VERY-
CONTROVERSIAL. AND SAFETY IS
VERY IMPORTANT I THINK WE NEED
TO ACKNOWLEDGE AT THIS BILL GOES
DOWN TO TEN THOUSAND POUNDS
WHICH IS- SMALLER VEHICLE THAT'S
- GONNA BE. NOT EIGHTY THOUSAND
POUNDS LIKE YOU WE TALK ABOUT IT
MOST THE TIME SO I HAVE TWO
QUESTIONS I HAVE A QUESTION
ABOUT THE PERPETUITY BECAUSE I
THINK THAT IS REALLY CRITICAL
TO- AND THE OPPOSITION IF I MAY.
UM CAN I GET YOUR TAKE ON
BECAUSE I THINK THAT THIS IS
CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE LOOK I
DON'T THINK WE SHOULD HAVE-
TRUCKS OPERATING. IN THE NEAR
TERM WITHOUT. AN OPERATOR IN
THERE- A DRIVER. SO LET'S TALK
ABOUT THAT BECAUSE I THINK
THAT'S REALLY THE CRUX OF THIS
BILL IS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE
FUTURE DO WE COME TO A POINT-
WHERE WE- FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO
NOT HAVE. AN OPERATOR VEHICLE SO
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT PERPETUITY
PART OF THIS BILL I COULD USE
GOING A LITTLE BIT MORE DEPTH
ABOUT YOUR TAKEN AND THAT THE
OTHER SIDE CAN TALK ABOUT IT AS
WELL- SO. IF YOU MAY IF WE MAY.
WITH RESPECT TO A PERPETUITY- I
THINK EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN
SAID THUS FAR AND WITH GREAT
APPRECIATION FOR THE SPONSOR AND
EVERYONE THAT'S- CAME TO THE OF
THE HEARING HERE TODAY- WITH
RESPECT TO PERPETUITY. THE
REALITY IS THE LET THE
REGULATORY PROCESS HAS BEEN
UNDER WAY FOR A LONG TIME AND-
THE CHOICE THAT WE FACE. WITH
THIS LEGISLATION AND POTENTIALLY
MAYBE AN AMENDED VERSION OF IT
OR OR NOT AT ALL IS NOT. WHETHER
THERE'S GOING TO BE A DRIVER IN
THE IN THE VEHICLE OR NOT AT
ALL- IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS
LEGISLATION. THE DMV IN THE C.
H. B. CONTINUE TO REGULATE THIS
AS THEY HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKING
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. AND
THE EXPECTATION IS- JUST LATER
THIS WEEK ON FRIDAY THERE'S
GOING TO BE A PUBLIC WORKSHOP
WHERE THEY'LL BE IN AN OPEN
OPPORTUNITY FOR. THE PUBLIC TO
OUT TO TALK ABOUT. THE NEXT
STEPS WITH REGULATION THAT THERE
BE MULTIPLE YEARS BEFORE- THERE
BE DRIVERLESS TRUCKS IN
CALIFORNIA SO THAT PROCESS
CONTINUES UNDER WAY THAT'S THE
CHOICE THAT CONTINUES APACE. IN
THE ABSENCE OF LEGISLATION AND
SO. WHAT THIS BILL IN ITS
CURRENT FORM DOES IS COME OVER
TOP OF THAT THAT MUCH MORE THAN
A DECADE LONG PROCESS. AND
INJECT A PERPER PERPETUAL
PROHIBITION ON A DRIVER STRUCK
AGAIN THEY NOTED MY COMMENTS
WILL CONCLUDE WITH THIS. THAT
EVISCERATES THE ECONOMIC CASE
FOR THE TECHNOLOGY ON THE FRONT
END AND SO THERE ARE OTHER
STATES THAT ARE. THAT HAVE THIS
TESTING THEY HAVE RIGOROUS
OVERSIGHT AS WELL BUT IN NOT
DOING THAT THAT IS WHERE THE
TECHNOLOGY WILL GO IN THAT THE
BENEFITS WITH RESPECT TO SAFETY
- THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS FOR THE
SPECTER JOBS AND ALL OF THAT
THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT THAT
THE COMMITTEES ON ANALYSIS. A
TALK ABOUT THAT WOULD EVAPORATE
IN THE IN ITS CURRENT FORM THE
BILL. I CAN JUST CENTER AT A AT
A POINT THAT'S RIGHT- I THINK
THE POINT WAS MADE THAT. THE
INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY'S AND
THE TECHNOLOGIES ARE DIFFERENT.
UNDER THE SYSTEM THAT'S EXISTED
FOR A DECADE- THE COMPANIES GO
TO DMV AND THEY HAVE TO PROVE
SAFETY ONE BY ONE. IT MAY TAKE A
COMPANY THREE YEARS IT MIGHT
TAKE A COMPANY SIX YEARS OF MY
TAKE A COMPANY TEN YEARS. BUT
THE INCENTIVIZE TO BE TO RE TO
REWARD THE INVESTMENT. AND THE
ENERGY AND EFFORT TO GET YOUR
TECHNOLOGY TO MARKET SOONER AS
LONG AS IT'S DEMONSTRATED TO BE
SAFE. AND WHAT THIS BILL SAYS IS
REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT. IT'S
SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW
THE MINIMUM. BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE CAN EVEN CAST A
VOTE- NO ONE SUGGESTING WE'RE
GONNA PUT BECAUSE THE CAR THE
TRUCKS WILL GO ON THE ROAD.
WITHOUT OPERATORS IN THE NEAR
FUTURE THE HISTORY AT THE DMV
WAS YEARS. OF TESTING CARS. WITH
DRIVERS IN THEM AND THEN YEARS
OF TESTING THE TECHNOLOGY
WITHOUT DRIVERS UNDER
CONSTRAINED GEOGRAPHIES. AND
LIMITS BEFORE COULD BE
DEMONSTRATED TO BE PROOF IT BEAT
BE SAFE AND IT'S STILL NOT.
COMMERCIALLY ALLOWED ANYWHERE IN
THE STATE YEAH THAT'S A THAT'S A
TEN. TO TWELVE YEAR PROCESS
THANK YOU THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU. I'M NOT A QUESTION OF
ALRIGHT I WANTED ONLY THIS IS A
QUESTION I ASKED TO THE AUTHOR
IN MY OFFICE AND I WANTED SOME
MORE CLARIFICATION SO. IF YOU
HAVE A- DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE
AND- THE VEHICLES AN ACCIDENT AS
THE DRIVER. LIABLE OR IS THE
COMPANY LIABLE. BOY THAT'S A
TOUGH QUESTION ASSISTED US THE-
I. WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD
AND JUST QUICKLY BRIEFLY AFTER
THAT MR CUSTOMS. SURE TO THE
CHAIR CENTER I DON'T SEE ANY
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CURRENT.
STATE OF AFFAIRS WITH RESPECT TO
COMMERCIAL DRIVING. IF A DRIVER
GETS IN AN ACCIDENT- THEIR
EMPLOYER AS OFTEN LIABLE UNDER
RESPONDING AT SUPERIORE. THAT
AND- IF IT'S A MECHANICAL
FAILURE. THERE ARE LIABILITY
ISSUES AROUND PRODUCT LIABILITY
AND HELP THEM TO LIKE SO I THINK
NOTHING WOULD CHANGE WITH
RESPECT TO THE TO LIABILITY
THAT'S CERTAINLY NOT THE INTENT
OF THE BILL. BUT YOU SAID. THAT
THIS IS GOING TO MAKE US SAFER.
IF WE HAVE A DRIVER IN THE
VEHICLE. OKAY I WOULD JUST LIKE
TO CONCLUDE WAS SAYING THAT SOME
. YOU KNOW THIS IS A TOUGH BILL
WE ALL TALK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND
- THOSE OF US IN BUSINESS NO
THAT LABOR IS A- YOU KNOW THE
HIGHEST COST IN BUSINESS AND
WHEN YOU CAN REDUCE LABOR YOU
CAN REDUCE. YOUR COST AND
EFFICIENCIES- BUT AT THE SAME
TIME WE WANT TO BE SAFE AND- SO
THOSE ARE THOSE ARE THE COUPLE
CONCERNS I HAVE WITH THE BILL IS
IT DIDN'T PERPETUITY LOOK THIS
OBVIOUSLY IS A- HILLS LAW LABOR
HERE AND THERE'S A LOT OF
TECHNOLOGY HERE AT THE SAME TIME
SO- I'VE BEEN KIND OF CONFLICTED
ABOUT THIS BILL FOR. SOME TIME
AND WHAT THE RIGHT APPROACHES
AND I THINK- IN PERPETUITY IS
FOREVER LONG TIME. AND ABILITY
TO COME BACK IN AND REVISIT THIS
AND- YOU KNOW WORK ON THE
TECHNOLOGY I THINK IT'S
SOMETHING WE NEED TO LOOK AT AND
I ALSO THINK- THE- THE TEN
THOUSAND POUND THRESHOLD. IS
VERY LOW WE HAVE A LOT OF-
VEHICLES THAT ARE. THAT ARE NOT
OPERATED BY CLASS ONE COMMERCIAL
DRIVERS THAT ARE. OVER TEN
THOUSAND POUNDS SO JUST SOME
THOUGHTS. THANK YOU SENATOR
DOLLARS SENATOR NEWMAN YEAH
THANK YOU MEASURES- IS- YOU
CENTER DODGES THE QUESTION YOU
ASK INTERESTING WAS A QUESTION
WAS ASKED. AMERO WAS PART OF AN
INFORMATION HEARING TWENTY
SEVENTEEN- ON THIS TOPIC WAS A
JOINT HEARING I THINK OF
INSURANCE TRANSPORTATION PNP-
SERVICE THE SAFETY CONVERSATIONS
BEEN GOING ON. FOR SOME TIME BUT
I WANT TO TOUCH ON SOMETHING
CENTER NEAR LO. RIGHTLY POINT
OUT OF IT DO YOU KNOW THE
PRETEXT HERE OR THE TEXT IS
SAFETY THE SUBTEXT IS LABOR. YOU
KNOW THE SUBTEXT HERE IS THE
IMPACT. ON THE LABOR FORCE ME
THEY CLAMOR TO VOTE FOR THE BILL
TODAY BUT I DO THINK. THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO BE HONEST ABOUT TO
BE FORTHRIGHT ABOUT. IT AND I
WOULD SAY I DID ABOVE IN A PART-
THE TECHNOLOGY SAFETY TO MATCH
IS CONVERSATION. THERE IS A
LABOR IMPACT THAT THAT IS
EFFECTIVELY THAT IS WHY A LOT OF
THESE GOOD FOLKS HERE I RESPECT
THAT- AND I DON'T I THINK IT'S
VALID FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO
TAKE UP THAT ISSUE. AS ITS OWN.
BECAUSE IT'S A BIG DEAL RIGHT
IT'S A BIG DEAL FOR THIS LABOR
FORCE IT'S A BIG DEAL. FOR HOW
WE THINK ABOUT THE INTERSECTION
OF TECHNOLOGY AND WORK- AND THE
IMPACT ON WORKING FAMILIES. AND
SO YOU DON'T MY HOPE IS THAT YOU
KNOW AS WE MOVE BEYOND THIS AND
MY COLLEGE OF CATS YES GOOD
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE- SAFETY
TAKEN LAST AS- IT THAT WEEK WE
SHOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION. RIGHT A. N. AND NOT
USE SAFETY AS A SORE THE
CAMOUFLAGE FOR THIS LET LET'S
TALK ABOUT THE REAL DIMENSIONS
OF HOW WE THINK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY
IN CALIFORNIA. AND THE
ALLOWANCES WILL MAKE FOR
INVESTMENT. I AND TECHNOLOGICAL
LEADERSHIP. BUT JUST AS
IMPORTANT FOR ITS IMPACT ON
PEOPLE ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WHO
WORK IN LAW CAREERS. DOING THIS
WORK. CHAU FORTY FOR THE BILL
TODAY BUT YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S
MIGHT MIGHT CONSIDER MOVING
FORCE IT THANK YOU. OKAY THANK
YOU SENATOR BAKER. THANK YOU.
FIRST I WANT TO. THANK ALL THE
DRIVERS WHO ARE HERE- YOU KNOW I
ALSO FAMILY CASH MIGHT MY WIFE'S
BOTH UNCLES ONE. MAN RAN
TRUCKING COMPANY WHAT WAS
TRUCKERS WHOLE LIFE AND- A MY
FACADE FAMILIES WELL AND- I
THINK PEOPLE ARE JUSTIFIABLY
PROUD OF THEIR- OF THEIR SAFETY
RECORDS. AND APPRECIATE YOU ALL
FOR WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR
TESTIMONY- AND I THINK THE
COMPANIES TOO MANY HEADQUARTERED
IN MY DISTRICT. WHO I BELIEVE
ARE ETHICAL AND ARE WORKING.
HARD ON SAFETY- THE N. IN
APPRECIATE THEIR COMING TO THE
TABLE AS WELL. I DID A FEW
QUESTIONS. A FIRST AT THE
OPPOSITION TO SAID PERPETUAL.
YOU SAID IT'S NOT PERPETUAL HOW
WOULD YOU HOW WOULD YOU ADDRESS
THAT. RIGHT I WOULD JUST SAY IS
THAT AS TIME GOES ON AND WE FIND
IT THE ADDITIONAL DATA WE CAN
THEY CAN COME BACK AND PRESENT
THE INFORMATION TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND WE CAN. MOVE
WITH THE BILL LET THEM GO AHEAD
AND HAVE. A THOMAS VEHICLES WE
HAVE A TRANSITION PERIOD I THINK
WE'LL HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT
RIGHT. AND SO IT'S GONNA TAKE
SOME TIME WITH THE WEATHER'S
WITH THE TECHNOLOGY OR WITH
LABOR WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
TRANSITION TIME. AND IT EVEN
SAYS IN THE ANALYSIS THERE WILL
BE A COMBINATION OF THINGS THAT
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO IN THE
MEANTIME. I'VE ID AGREE WITH ME
US NEW. THESE ARE THE COME
ADDITION CONVERSE WE'RE GOING TO
NEED TO HAVE IN THE FUTURE THIS
IS NOT JUST THIS INDUSTRY OTHER
DID INDUSTRIES AS WELL AS WE
START TO DO MORE MORE
AUTOMATION. IN WHATEVER FIELD
WORK WE'RE LOOKING AT. I DO
AGREE WITH YOU I CONSIDER MYSELF
A TECHNO OPTIMIST BUT I DO AGREE
I THINK PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES
TEND TO OVERESTIMATE SOMETIMES
THAT THE IMPACT OF TECHNOLOGY
HOW READY IT'S GOING TO BE IN
THE TIME FRAME. THAT THAT IT'S
GOING TO BE EXACT YOU KNOW
MEMBER. TEN FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
AND TO THE CREDIT SOME OF THE
COMPANIES HAVE NOT RUSHED TO
MARKET BUT TEN FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
TALKING ABOUT. DRIVERLESS CARS
AND PEOPLE THOUGHT WE DO MUCH
FOR THEIR HEAD. I TRULY HOPE
WOULD BE THERE FOR MY KIDS DROVE
BUT UNFORTUNATELY. WE DON'T
QUITE GET THERE BUT- BUT- BUT I
THINK PEOPLE PI OVERESTIMATED
THE EFFECTS AND I THINK WE SEE
WITH A AYE- SOMETIMES TOO. I'M
ON THE REPORT JUST SO I'M CLEAR.
YOU KNOW IS THIS. IS THIS OUR
COMPANIES AND GOING TO COME ON A
CASE BY CASE IS THE LEGISLATURE
GONNA PROVE. EACH COMPANY ON A
CASE BY CASE BASIS OR THE
TECHNOLOGY OVERALL. HOW HOW IS
THE- HOW IS THAT GOING TO WORK.
THE SCOTSMAN. I'M THE BILL. SAYS
THERE SHOULD BE A HOLISTIC
REPORT THE REPORT COMES THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE LEGISLATURE
MAKES ITS DECISION. IF THE
LEGISLATURE WANTS TO SAY.
COMPANIES THAT MEET. THIS
STANDARD- CAN GO WITHOUT. HUMAN
SAFETY OPERATOR THE LEGISLATURE
HAS THE POWER TO DO THAT. YOU
CAN DECIDE THEY ALL SHOULD. BE
AVAILABLE WITHOUT THAT-
REQUIREMENT- SO IT'S NOT
PRESCRIPTIVE ABOUT WHEN THE
LEGISLATURE IS FREE TO. CONSIDER
THIS REPORT AND COME BACK AND DO
WHAT IT WANTS SO IT'S NOT
SAYING. WE'RE GOING TOWARD
COMPANY AXE AND THAT PENALIZE
YOU KNOW COMPANY COMPANY WHY.
GOT IT FIFTEEN WE'VE CAPPED I
JUST A REMINDER WE'VE KEPT THE
TIME FOR DATA COLLECTION
REPORTING IN THE ADMINISTRATION.
CAN ASK FOR AN OVERSIGHT HEARING
IN THE END INDUSTRY COULD RUN A
BILL. YEAH GOT IT THANK YOU. I'M
IT. IS CENTER DIARIES QUESTION
OF WEIGHT AT JUST CURIOUS HOW
YOU KNOW HOW THAT KIND OF
FACTORED IN ALSO. DO YOU THINK
OF SHORT HAUL AND LONG HAUL TO
DIFFERENTIATE THEIR YOU CONCERN
MORE CONCERT ONE OR THE OTHER
I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS I.
THOUGHT I'M COMPRISES THAT WAY
AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ALL OF
IT QUITE FRANKLY I LIVE OFF OF
HIGHWAY EIGHTY AND HIGHWAY FIVE
OH FIVE. AND I'M VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE TRAFFIC AND WHAT THIS
COULD DO BECAUSE YOU KNOW
FARMING COMMUNITY WE HAVE TRUCKS
GOING. UP AND DOWN THOSE
HIGHWAYS SO. VOTE AND THAT THE
SET THE SIZE OF THE TEN THOUSAND
EIGHTY THOUSAND OR HAVE YOU.
WERE IN A FAMILY ONE OF THOSE I
MEAN AS LONG AS THEY'RE GOING
DOWN THE HIGHWAY THERE A WEAPON.
OR IF YOU'VE EVER HAD TO TAKE A
DRIVING. DEFENSIVE DRIVING CLASS
YEAH I HAVE- IT WAS THE WHOLE
THING IS ABOUT DEFENSIVE DRIVING
IS IT'S A WEAPON THESE CONTRACTS
ARE GOING REALLY QUICKLY. AND
THEY CAN KILL PEOPLE AND THEY
MAY NOT BUT I LIKE THERE'S
REALLY GOOD DRIVERS THAT WE HAVE
HERE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING TO WITH THE- WITH THE
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ARE GOING TO
DO UNTIL WE ACTUALLY. ARE
RUNNING THEM SO I THINK HAVING A
PERSON IN THE- A OPERATOR IN THE
VEHICLE IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO.
MY CONSTITUENTS. ARE LOOKING FOR
THAT I'M SURE YOURS ARE TOO.
WELL DO APPRECIATE THE- THAT I
THINK TO THE POINT THAT WAS KIND
MADE EARLIER- WELL AGAIN I THINK
THAT WE'VE ETHICAL COMPANIES
THAT ARE WORKING ON PRIORITIZING
SAFETY. I'M YOU KNOW WE HAVE
SEEN- YOU KNOW FORTY INCIDENCES
AND SOME YOU KNOW WITH THAT
TESLA BRANDED SELF DRIVING WE'VE
SEEN INCIDENCES WE SEEN IT'S IN
SAN FRANCISCO- WITH SOME OF THE-
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES ARE SO I DO
THINK. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
DON'T RUSH THIS. TECHNOLOGY TO
THE MARKET THAT WE DO HAVE A
THOUGHTFUL PROCESS SO- I
APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION I'LL
BE SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY YOU
KNOW I PLAN TO. ATTEND TO BE
HERE I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING
THESE REPORTS- IN THE FUTURE I
MEAN I THINK ALSO I THINK THERE
IS A QUESTION OF WHETHER THE
LEGISLATURE IS THE BEST. ABLE
TO- KIND OF WAY N. ON ON ON ON A
CASE BY CASE OR- WERE THEY JUST
DON'T WANT THIS DONE BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS YEAH. I THINK WE
NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY. AS THE MAP
SHOWS SOMETHING'S HAPPEN BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS THAT WE WEREN'T
AWARE OF. SO I THINK THIS IS A
GREAT WAY TO DO IT. AND THREE OR
FOUR COULD BE SOONER AGAIN IF
THE MINISTRATION CHANGES ARE
MINUSES THIS MOVE THIS FORWARD
LET'S DO IT. THANK YOUNG AND
APPRECIATE THAT- THAT PIECE OF
IT. I'M AND- AND THAT YEAH OF
THE PIECE YOU HAVE THE
DISCUSSION HERE TODAY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU WE'RE GONNA TAKE
CENTER CORTESE AND THEN SENATOR
DOCILE. MR WILL FOR JUST WE'RE
NOT GOING TO GO BACK AND FORTH
UNFORTUNATELY WHICH IS IF SHE
HAS- HER LEAD WITNESS IN SUPPORT
OR IF WE HAVE ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS FOR YOU WILL CERTAINLY
DIRECTORS THINK IT OUT. THANK
YOU MEASURE. OF COMING TO BE A
MOVIE SUPPORTING THE BILL BUT I
WANT TO EXPLAIN MYSELF VERY VERY
QUICKLY. FOR FIRST OF ALL I
DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE BILL
THAT- PROHIBITS THE
LEGISLATURE'S CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT ANY MEMBER TO BRING A BILL
FORWARD AT ANY TIME. OF THIS
BILL DOES SAY THAT THE DMV CAN'T
AUTHORIZE AUTONOMOUS. TRUCKS
BASICALLY VEHICLES AT THIS
WEIGHT LEVEL. OR HIGHER- WITHOUT
WAITING FOR THAT REPORT TO COME
BUT BUT THERE'S NOTHING IN
PERPETUITY OR ANYTHING ELSE OF
STOPS ANYBODY AND I WOULD I
WOULD IMAGINE YOU MAY SEE A BILL
FROM IT EVERY YEAR FROM EVERY
SESSION FROM HERE ON OUT. YOU
KNOW TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS
PROPERLY THEN THEN YOU HAVE AS
AN AUTHOR- BUT CORRECT ME IF I'M
WRONG- IF YOU IF YOU WILL IN
YOUR CLOTHES. UP WHEN I CONCLUDE
MY COMMENTS THROUGH THE CHAIR-
THERE'S TWO SEPARATE ISSUES HERE
ONE S. CT ONE IS WORKFORCE AND
TO ME THIS IS SORT OF EARLY
STAGING OF THE WORK FORCE DEBATE
THAT'S COMING. NOT JUST IN THIS
AREA BUT IN OTHER AREAS AS WELL
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO DEAL
WITH IT. THE TECHNOLOGIES COMING
THE SAFETIES. ABSOLUTELY NOT
THERE I. JUST WANT TO IDENTIFY
WITH WHAT YOU SAID AS I TRAVEL
MANY MANY DOZENS OF TIMES YEAR
OVER ONE FIFTY TWO FROM SANTA
CLARA COUNTY OVER INTO MERCED.
OF IT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE FOR
THE LAST THIRTY YEARS IS BLOOD
ALLEY MAYBE FORTY YEARS. OF I
CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE AT FIVE
O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. AT SIX
O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING HEADING
OVER THERE. ON THAT TWO LANE
ROAD WITH NO BARRIERS YOU KNOW
NO SNOW MEDIAN DIVIDERS. UP WITH
THE GOODS MOVEMENT THAT'S COMING
THE OTHER WAY TRYING TO MAKE ITS
WAY ALL WE HAVE TO OAKLAND- FROM
THE FROM THE- SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA- NOT HAVING. IN THE
IN THE NEXT STAGES OF TESTING OF
THIS EQUIPMENT. NOT HAVING
SOMEBODY- AS A PILOT OR COPILOT
MONITORING WHAT'S GOING ON THESE
ARE SIXTY TO EIGHTY THOUSAND
POUND VEHICLES EIGHTY THOUSAND
POUNDS WHEN LOADED I KNOW.
TRUCKERS HERE KNOW THAT THESE
ARE TEN THOUSAND POUND VEHICLE
SO YOU GOT. MAYBE A FOUR
THOUSAND POUND CAR GOING UP
AGAINST AN EIGHTY THOUSAND POUND
VEHICLE HEAD ON THAT'S WHAT I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT IN TERMS OF.
MAKING SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING IN
PLACE. YOU KNOW NOW SOONER
RATHER THAN LATER AS A DEFAULT
GOING FORWARD SO I APPLAUD YOU
FOR GREEN. NO I JUST WANTED TO
THANK YOU VENTURE IN THE STATE A
FEW WORDS SO PEOPLE WOULD KNOW
WAY. I HAVE MY OWN SENSE OF
JUSTIFICATION FOR WHY I'M
SUPPORTING THE SITE I ACTUALLY
DON'T SEE THIS TODAY AS- FRANKLY
AS THE LABOR VERSUS- MANAGEMENT
FIGHT FOR. LABOR VERSUS
TECHNOLOGY FIGHT THAT'S COMEY
OKAY BUT I JUST DON'T THINK YOU
COULD EVEN BEGIN TO GO TO THE
NEXT LEVEL OF SAFETY. OF WITHOUT
DRUGS I WAS ON- TWO. JETS OVER
THE SMALL JETS OVER THE LAST.
SIXTY DAYS OR SO- SOME MEMBERS
HERE WERE PRESENT WITH ME AT
LEAST. AWARE OF THE OTHER THOSE
TRIPS. THOSE PLANES FLIGHT
AUTONOMOUSLY MUCH OF THE TIME-
THAT WAS DEMONSTRATED TO BE.
DIRECTLY BUT THEY WERE STILL
VISUALS THAT WE NEED THERE ARE
STILL- TRAFFIC CONTROL THAT WAS
NEEDED THERE WERE THERE WERE
STILL UP A PILOT. NEEDED TO MAKE
SURE- THAT THAT THE CLEAN STAYED
ON COURSE DESPITE THE FACT THAT
THE PILOT HAD TO DO VERY LITTLE
90% OF THE TIME. I WOULD NOT
WANT TO BE IN EITHER ONE OF
THOSE FIGHTS- I'LL BE ADDED
THIRTY THOUSAND FEET WITHOUT. A
HUMAN BEING IN THERE. REGULATING
THINGS I DON'T THINK A TRUCK
COMING AT YOU AT EIGHTY THOUSAND
POUNDS IS THAT MUCH DIFFERENT
THAN BEING AT THIRTY THOUSAND
FEET EITHER WAY IT'S GONNA BE
VERY VERY TRAGIC- IF SOMETHING
GOES WRONG SO THANK YOU IN
HUNTINGTON TO. DEVOTE A- THANK
YOU SO TO CENTER THE. THANK YOUR
WAS HERE FOR THE- PRESS. TRYING
TO DO DOUBLE DUTY HERE WITH THE
JUDAS COMMITTEE BUT I DO WANT TO
SAY JUST IN GENERAL I REALLY
APPRECIATE CENTER A NEWMAN'S
COMMENTS ABOUT THIS BEING BOTH-
SAFETY AND WORK FORCE AND
THERE'S NO REASON WHY WE
SHOULDN'T. TALK ABOUT BOTH- AND
BE PROUD TO TALK ABOUT BOTH
SOMETIMES WHEN TECHNOLOGY IS
PART OF THE ISSUE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THERE'S IS AUTOMATIC THAT
IF YOU'RE NOT WITH TECHNOLOGY.
THAT YOU KNOW YOU'RE A DINOSAUR
YOU'RE GETTING BEHIND WHAT'S
WRONG WITH YOU THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG IF YOU'RE NOT WITH THE
LATEST TECHNOLOGY- OR THE
TECHNOLOGY IS THE MOST
EFFICIENT- WE'VE GOT TO THINK
ABOUT TECHNOLOGY IN MY OPINION
IN SUCH A WAY. THAT MOVES
SOCIETY FORWARD IN THE MOST
POSITIVE WAY FOR EVERYBODY NOT
JUST FOR SOME PEOPLE. AND- MY
CONCERN HERE. IS THE SAFETY
ISSUE BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE THESE JOBS AND
HOW THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN
THE PROCESS. OF DECIDING WHAT
THE NEXT STEPS ARE AND I SURE
HOPE THEY ARE- THEY ARE ASKED
FOR THEIR ADVICE AND THEY ARE
INCLUDED IN THIS BECAUSE THEY
KNOW BETTER THAN ANYBODY. WHAT
IT TAKES TO DRIVE AND WHAT IT
TAKES TO BE SAFE AND WHAT IT
TAKES TO BE SAFE FOR THEMSELVES
AS WELL AS FOR. THE ROADS THAT
THEY'RE THEY'RE DRIVING ON SO I
AM A- PROUD TO BE ABLE TO BE
HERE AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
VOTE THANK YOU THANK YOU AND
BECAUSE SENATORS SAY ARE TO DOES
NOT DISAPPOINT. HE'S GOING TO BE
NEXT YEAR. GO RIGHT ONE MINUTE
ENTERING SOMEBODY. SO IT.
OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW I'M A PUBLIC
SAFETY GUY. AND ONE OF THE
ISSUES WITH WITH THIS IS WHAT.
WE'RE KIND OF. LOOKING INTO AN
ISSUE. THAT YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO
REMEMBER WHO WE REPRESENT WE
REPRESENT A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT
THERE. I DON'T KNOW THAT THEY
ARE READY AT JUST CA TRUCK
BARRELING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT
A DRIVER AND- WE JUST FROM AN
ANXIETY STANDPOINT- SO THAT YOU
KNOW THAT'S ONE THING THAT WE
NEED TO KEEP IN MIND THIS IS A
PROCESS THAT NEEDS TO GO VERY
SLOWLY- IF. YOU KNOW IF WE
DECIDE SOMEDAY TO GO DOWN THAT
PATH AT ALL- BECAUSE THERE IS
SUCH A THING AS AS B. AS BEING
ABLE TO DO SOMETHING. BUT IT
MIGHT NOT BE SOMETHING WE SHOULD
BE DOING. AND AND I I'VE I THINK
EVENTUALLY WE'LL GET TO THE
POINT BUT- BUT ONE OF THE ISSUES
HERE IS YOU HAVE IT YOU HAVE AN
INDUSTRY- THAT IS GETTING HIT
PRETTY HARD. YOU HAVE BUSINESSES
NOT JUST TRUCKING THEY'RE BEING
HIT PRETTY HARD. BY THE
REGULATIONS NOT JUST IN LABOR
REGULATIONS ALL REGULATIONS. AND
SO THEY'RE GETTING PUSHED OUT.
AND THEY'RE GOING WHERE THEY CAN
ACTUALLY STAY ALIVE. AND AND SO
THAT'S ONE OF THOSE ISSUES AND
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE DRIVER
SHORTAGE- THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS WE HAVE A DRIVER
SHORTAGE- WE HAVE PLENTY OF
BUSINESS FOR PEOPLE. TO GO PICK
UP THINGS THAT THE PORTANTINO
CAME OUT. BUT WE'RE REALLY
STRUGGLING WITH THAT AND WE'RE
STARTING TO SEE THE EFFECTS I
DON'T EVER WANT TO GO INTO. A
FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND THEN
AND PUSH A BUTTON AND HAVE A
BURGER SPIT OUT AT ME FROM A
THING. I WOULD RATHER A PERSON
DID THAT AND WE HAD THAT
CONTACT. AND THE SAME THING
HERE. I WANT TO SEE TRUCKS
BARRELING DOWN THE ROAD.
ASSISTED WITH SOME EXTRA STUFF
ON IT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THE
DRIVER IS. GETTING DROWSY
SOMEHOW THE THERE THERE WERE BIG
THEY GO UP THE OLD GUARD RAILS
AND THINGS LIKE THAT. YEAH THAT
WOULD THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE
OKAY. BUT I DON'T THINK WE'RE
THERE YET. TO BE FROM A PUBLIC
SAFETY PERSPECTIVE. FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO- HAVE. TRUCKS WITH NO
DRIVERS AND I ALSO KNOW WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION ABOUT. LABOR AND
OUR BUSINESSES. AND WHERE IS THE
SWEET SPOT WHERE WE CAN HAVE
BOTH. AND AND EVERYBODY CAN
SURVIVE- SO THIS IS A VERY VERY
DIFFICULT- IT. BILL FOR ME- BUT
YOU KNOW ULTIMATELY- YOU KNOW I
WIND UP LANDING ON THE PUBLIC
SAFETY PART OF IT. AND AND SO
ANYWAY I'LL KEEP YOU GUYS ON
EDGE. THANK YOU SENATE ARCHULETA
. RIGHT MAYBE I'LL CLOSE IT UP
ANYWAY I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE
TEACHERS THAT ARE HERE BY
BROTHERS AND SISTERS I WILL TELL
YOU THIS THAT YOU ARE THE
PROFESSIONALS YOU KNOW. THAT YOU
CAN'T MOVE THESE VEHICLES THESE
HUGE TRUCKS DOWN THE ROAD
WITHOUT YOUR EXPERTISE TRAINING
AND YEARS AND YEARS. OF
PARTICIPATION AMONG EACH OTHER
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE CARRYING
YOU KNOW THE DANGER. AND I THINK
THAT'S THE KEY THAT WE'RE WE'RE
MISSING THE DANGER YOU KNOW I
DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD CALL YOU
TRUCK DRIVERS ANYMORE I THINK I
SHOULD CALL YOU HUMAN SAFETY
OPERATORS. HUMAN SAFETY
OPERATORS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE TO MAKE
SURE WE KEEP. THE ROADS SAFE
AND- IN IN ITS STILL GOING
FORWARD AND I SEE A LOT OF THE
DRIVERS THAT WILL. ROLL OVER
INTO TECHNOLOGY BE PART OF WHAT
MAKES THIS TRUCK MOVE THE
TECHNOLOGY I COULD SEE THAT
HAPPENING. THAT'S WHY WE'RE
ALWAYS TRYING FOR- TO FIND A WAY
TO EDUCATE AND TRAIN FOR THE
FUTURE. SHOW I AM A 100% BEHIND
THIS SUMMIT SUPPORTED AND I
THANK YOU FOR BRING IT FORWARD.
AND PUBLIC SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE
WE HEARD THAT AND TECHNOLOGY IS
NOT FAR BEHIND BUT I THINK WE
CAN. JOINT VENTURE ON THIS AND
KEEP OUR ROADS SAFE BUT WE CAN'T
DO WITHOUT THE PROFESSIONAL
DRIVERS THAT WE HAVE. THAT ARE
REPRESENTED HERE TODAY THANK YOU
. THANK YOU CENTER CHIU US
SENATOR SPEIR. OKAY THANK YOU SO
A FAMOUS QUOTE THAT- EVERYTHING
HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID BUT NOT
YET BY EVERYONE. SO I THINK I'M
THE LAST PERSON HERE SO I'M JUST
GOING TO QUICKLY SAY THE TOP
THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME
SO. I WANT TO RECOGNIZE THE
DRIVERS AND THE IMPORTANT WORK
YOU DO AND COMING OUT TODAY TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IN THIS BILL.
I WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL
TODAY I THINK THAT IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT WHEN WE LOOK AT SAFETY
WE LOOK AT THIS CHART AND THERE
ARE THESE ACCIDENTS BUT THE
QUESTION IS HOW MANY ACCIDENTS
DO WE HAVE. BECAUSE OF HUMAN
ERROR SO WHEN WE'RE GOING
FORWARD WITH THE ANALYSIS OF
WHAT IS SAFE AND WHAT ISN'T WE
HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE THAT
COMPARISON IS. SO THAT'S JUST A
CRITICAL DATA POINT THAT WE NEED
TO BE CONSIDERING- AND I'LL JUST
SAY THAT PERSONALLY IT SEEMS
TERRIFYING TO. HAVE A BIG RIG
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT A
PERSON IN IT SO THE HUMAN SAFETY
OPERATOR. IS REALLY CRITICAL TO
OUR AIRPLANES TO OUR TRAINS TO
HAVE TWO BIG RIGS I CAN'T.
ENVISION THAT NOT BEING THE CASE
BUT TECHNOLOGY MAY OF ALL THEM
THAT MIGHT BE THE CASE IN THE
FUTURE. I THINK THERE ARE MANY
MANY PEOPLE WHO WOULD AGREE WITH
THAT AND WOULD NOT FEEL
COMFORTABLE ALLOWING IT SO. AT
THIS POINT- WE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE
BILLS IN THE FUTURE BUT THIS IS
CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD
BE DOING TODAY AND I WILL BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY SO. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU THANK.
OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION AND I AM
ACTUALLY THE CLOSER TODAY
BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET TO SPEAK
BUT I WILL- I WILL FINISH THIS
OFF BY. ARE ALSO EXTENDING MY
GRATITUDE TO YOU- ASSEMBLY
MEMBER. I'M SOMEBODY WHO
ACTUALLY IS TO WORK IN THE SPACE
OF- ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AT
MICROSOFT- I DID A LOT OF WORK-
WITH FUTURE OF WORK- TECHNOLOGY-
BUT WHILE I WAS DOING THIS WORK
ALSO. FOR VERY LARGE TECH
COMPANY- INSURING THAT ALONG THE
WAY THERE'S A OF A FEW DIFFERENT
COLORS. MAINTAIN PUBLIC ANTI.
AND PUBLIC TRUST. THAT INCLUDES
THE WORK FORCE AND JUST THE
GENERAL PUBLIC. MORE CHECKS AND
BALANCES ON THE SYSTEM. AND THEN
LESSENING THE POWER DYNAMIC
WHICH I THINK IS REALLY
IMPORTANT. I'M WE DON'T OFTEN
TALK ABOUT THAT AND AS THIS
TECHNOLOGY MOVES FORWARD WHICH
THIS BILL. DOESN'T STOP THIS
INNOVATION- IT JUST PROVIDES
ADDITIONAL IN MY OPINION CHECKS
AND BALANCES. ALWAYS ENSURING
THAT WE'RE INCLUDING THE FOLKS
THAT ARE GOING TO BE MOST
IMPACTED WHICH IS VERY
IMPORTANT. I MEAN OUTS MYSELF
HERE I THINK SOME OF YOU KNOW
BUT I ALSO. GREW UP IN A-
TEAMSTER HOUSEHOLD. SO HAVING.
THE TECHNOLOGY BACKGROUND WHILE
ALSO KNOWING THAT MY FATHER. WAS
A TRUCK DRIVER FOR THIRTY YEARS
WITH THE TEAMSTERS. THAT COUNTED
ON THIS- BUT ALSO HAD A AN
IMPECCABLE RECORD. EVEN TO THIS
DAY- HE'S BEEN RETIRED NOW FOR
SEVEN YEARS BUT EVEN TO THIS DAY
IS SO VERY. HAPPY TO. TALK ABOUT
HIS PERFECT DRIVING RECORD. AND
THE THOUGHT OF THIS TECHNOLOGY-
YOU KNOW PERHAPS POTENTIALLY NOT
JUST ON THE JOBS BUT-
POTENTIALLY. SUPERSEDING THAT-
SAFETY SITUATION WHICH THIS.
THIS TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
REALLY HAS THE PURVIEW WITHIN- I
THINK IS SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW
WE HAVE TO- TO OF COURSE
PRIORITIZE. SECONDLY SO MANY OF
US HAVE LEGISLATED ON. ISSUES
RELATED TO A THOMAS VEHICLES AND
- WHAT CERTAIN BRANDS HAVE DONE
IN TERMS OF THE WAY THEY ARE
MARKETING A THOMAS VEHICLES AND
I WILL TELL YOU THE DMV HAS NOT
BEEN VERY COMMUNICATIVE. SO THE
ROUTE MORE REASON TO BRING THIS
BILL I THINK IS TO ENSURE THAT
THE DMB IS RESPONSIVE EVEN TO
THIS LEGISLATURE AS THE CHAIR OF
TRANSPORTATION I HAVEN'T EVEN
BEEN ABLE TO GET INFORMATION
FROM THE DMV. I'VE GOT MORE
INFORMATION FROM NHTSA THE
NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION THAT I HAVE FROM
THE DMV UNFORTUNATELY. AND
THAT'S NOT OK. SO WE DO NEED
ADDITIONAL CHECKS AND BALANCES
TO ENSURE THAT ALONG THE WAY
WHILE WE'RE INNOVATING THAT WE
ARE BEING AS MINDFUL AS POSSIBLE
. I THANK YOU FOR THAT- I WILL I
KNOW YOU'LL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE
WITH THESE COMPANIES WILL ALL
CONTINUE TO ENGAGE NOTHING
PRECLUDES THE COMPANIES OR-
ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION FROM
MOVING FORWARD BUT AT THE END OF
THE DAY- I KNOW THAT AND I WANT
TO THANK THE WORK FORCE THAT HAS
BEEN HERE FOR. HOURS BUT I KNOW
THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO YOU. AND
AS THE DAUGHTER OF SOMEONE WHO.
EVERY SINGLE DAY- DROVE A TRUCK
AND DID WHAT HE COULD TO PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE. I HEAR YOU I
UNDERSTAND YOU- AND WE'RE GONNA.
HOPEFULLY GET THROUGH THIS
TOGETHER THIS IS NOT THE END
RESULT WILL CERTAINLY HAVE MORE
DISCUSSIONS ON THIS IS GONNA. BE
PUBLIC FORUMS CETERA BUT- STILL
A LOT OF MORE WORK TO DO. WITH
THAT FINALLY. WE'RE GOING TO
ALLOW YOU TO CLOSE WE HAVE A
MOTION BY SENATOR TO LAUGH WELL
I HAVE A LONG CLOSE BUT BASED
UPON HELD THAT THE COMMENTS
TODAY I WANT TO PROVIDE JUST ONE
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION. I'M
SURE WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS BUT I THINK THERE'S A LOT
OF COMMENTS ARE MADE THAT WE
HAVE A LOT TO DO NOT JUST THIS
BILL BUT GOING FORWARD TO MAKING
SURE WE DON'T LEAVE PEOPLE FROM
THE TABLE AND MAKING SURE THAT
THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD. AS WE
GET MOVING ON TO MORE AUTOMATION
AND YOU KNOW THIS BILL WAS NOT
IN ANY INTENTION TO BAN.
TECHNOLOGY I LOVE TECHNOLOGY AND
EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM KNOWS
THAT BUT I THINK THAT THIS IS
THE TIME THAT WE REALLY NEED TO
RE EVALUATE I THINK- I. THIS
BILL IS ALL ABOUT SAFETY I GO UP
AND DOWN HIGHWAY EIGHTY HIGHWAY
FIVE. AND- I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE
NOT HAVING SO MANY BEHIND THE
WHEEL. SO WITHOUT BEING SAID I
IT SIMPLY AS FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.

THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR- AND
COLLEAGUES I'M HERE TO PRESENT
AB EIGHT TWENTY FIVE FIRST I'D
LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIR AND THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR
THOUGHTFUL AND COMMITTED WORK ON
THIS. EVEN TAKING PHONE CALLS AS
LATE AS LAST NIGHT AND THIS
MORNING TO MAKE SURE WE GOT IT
RIGHT- I'M COMMITTED TO CONTINUE
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE AND
THE CHAIR TO ADDRESS SIDEWALKS
OF HIGH DENSITY PETITION
POPULATIONS BUT I'D LIKE TO
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE AMENDS OF
ADDING A SENSE AND REPORT TO
THIS BILL. CURRENTLY IN
CALIFORNIA YOU CAN BE CITED FOR
RIDING A BICYCLE ON THE SIDEWALK
EVEN WHERE NO SAFE BIKE
INFRASTRUCTURE EXISTS ON THE
STREET. DESPITE THERE BEING NO
EVIDENCE SUGGESTING THE SIDEWALK
WRITING DIFFERS AMONG RACES
NEARLY ALL CITATIONS FOR RIDING
ON THE SIDEWALK ARE PEOPLE OF
COLOR IN FACT AND LOS ANGELES AN
ANALYSIS OF OVER FORTY FOUR
THOUSAND STOPS FROM 201-722-1220
TWENTY ONE BY THE LA COUNTY
SHERIFF'S. DEPUTIES FROM THE 70%
OR 70% OF THOSE WERE CITED WERE
LATINOS. OVER 90% MORE PEOPLE OF
COLOR PERIOD. CYCLE SHOULD HAVE
THE ECONOMY TO DECIDE FOR
THEMSELVES AND OTHERS WHETHER
IT'S SAFER TO BE ON THE STREET
OR ON THE SIDEWALK WHEN THERE'S
NO SAFE BIKE LANES ON THE
STREETS. DATA SHOWS THAT WE LOSE
NEARLY THREE CYCLISTS A WEEK TO
DEATH ON THE STREET INVOLVING A
VEHICLE THAT'S ALMOST A CYCLIST
EVERY OTHER DAY. WE CURRENTLY
HAVE OVER SIX MILLION PEOPLE WHO
LIVE IN A CITY THAT HAS
LEGALIZED RIDING ON THE
SIDEWALK. IN TWENTY ELEVEN THIS
IN THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
LEGALIZE CIRCLING ON THE
SIDEWALK AND SINCE THEN THE
AMOUNT OF COLLISIONS. BETWEEN
CYCLISTS AND VEHICLES DECREASED
BY EIGHTY ONE PERCENT. IN THE
AMOUNT OF COLLISIONS BETWEEN
CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS ALSO
DECREASED. IN ADDITION L. A.
COUNTY JUST RECENTLY LEGALIZED
SIDEWALK RIDING. AFTER WE
INTRODUCED THIS BILL AND THEY
HAVE REPORTED NO SPIKES IN
COLLISIONS AT ALL OF THE LAST
DECADE JURISDICTIONS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. HAVE PAID OUT AT
LEAST A HUNDRED AND TWELVE.
MILLION DOLLARS IN CYCLIST
ACCIDENTS DUE TO INJURIES OR
DEATHS CAUSED BY VEHICLE
COLLISIONS ON THE STREET WHERE
THERE WAS NO SAFE BIKE
INFRASTRUCTURE. CREATING
CYCLISTS EMPOWERED FLEXIBILITY
IS SMART POLICY. IT WILL IMPROVE
SAFETY. IT WILL END DISPARITIES
IN ENFORCEMENT AND I'LL TAKE US
ONE STEP CLOSER TOWARD SAFE AND
INCLUSIVE CITIES FOR ALL TYPES
OF MOBILITY WITH ME TO TESTIFY
TODAY IS BUBBLE FISH. CO
DIRECTOR OF STATE POLICY FOR
STREETS FOR ALL AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. CAME AS
FAST THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. BUT THE FISCAL DIRECTOR
OF STATE POLICY FOR STREETS FOR
ALL PROUD SPONSORS OF AB EIGHT
TWENTY FIVE THE RIGHT TO RIDE
BILL. LEGALIZING SIDEWALK ON THE
SITE SIDEWALK. CYCLING ON THE
SIDEWALK ON STREETS WITHOUT SAFE
BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE ALLOWING
CALIFORNIANS TO RIDE WERE TO SEE
IF IT'S FOR THEM. AND THE PEOPLE
AROUND THEM I HAVE A PERSONAL
CONNECTION OF THIS I RIDE MY
BIKE TO UCLA WHERE I'M A GRAD
STUDENT. WHEN I'M OFTEN ROUTED
ONTO SEVEN LANE STREETS WITH NO
BIKE LANES. CARS ZOOM RIGHT PAST
ME GOING FIFTY MILES AN HOUR.
AND FEARING FOR MY LIFE I
SOMETIMES HAVE TO TAKE REFUGE ON
THE SIDEWALK. THANKFULLY THAT'S
LEGAL IN LA CITY AND RECENTLY
JUST LEGALIZED ALL
UNINCORPORATED EL LAKE COUNTY.
THE MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIA ARE
CURRENTLY FORCED TO MAKE THE
CHOICE BETWEEN RIDING THEIR BIKE
ON DEADLY STREETS FOR BREAKING
THE LAW. CRIMINALIZING CYCLISTS
TO RIDE ON THE SIDEWALK FOR
THEIR OWN SAFETY RATHER THAN THE
STREET WITH NO BIKE LANES. LEADS
TO UNNECESSARY AND BIASED
INTERACTIONS WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT. IN LA TIMES
RESIGNATION BETWEEN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
BIKE RIDERS IN LOW INCOME
MINORITY COMMITTEES WERE STOPPED
AND CITED FAR MORE OFTEN AND 70%
OF THOSE. WERE LATINOS. THIS
KIND OF PROFILING CREATES YET
ANOTHER BARRIER FOR COMMUNITIES
TO ACCESS SAFE AFFORDABLE
TRANSPORTATION. THIS IS A MATTER
OF LIFE OR DEATH FOR MANY FOLKS
USE A BICYCLE TO GET AROUND.
ACROSS THE COUNTRY CYCLING
FATALITIES ARE AT A HIGH ARE AT
THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN ALMOST
FIFTY YEARS. IN CALIFORNIA IS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CONTRIBUTORS
WITH A HUNDRED AND THIRTY DEATHS
EVERY SINGLE YEAR. THIS BILL
KEEP CYCLISTS AND PEDESTRIANS
SAFE CYCLING ON THE SIDEWALK HAS
ALREADY BEEN LEGALIZED AT LEAST
FOURTEEN CALIFORNIA CITIES HOME
TO OVER SIX MILLION PEOPLE. AND
STILL SERIOUS BIKE ON PEDESTRIAN
COLLISIONS REMAIN EXCEEDINGLY
RARE. AND BY THE WAY TWENTY
THREE STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
HAVE LEGALIZED CYCLING ON THE
SIDEWALK WITH THE SAME SORTS OF
EXEMPTIONS AND PROVISIONS THAT
WE HAVE OFFERED IN THIS BILL. SO
WE WORK WITH DISABILITY GROUPS
WALKING ADVOCATES LIKE
CALIFORNIA WALKS. DISABILITY
RIGHTS COALITION IN THE DESIGN
OF THE BILL AND ADDED A
PROVISION THAT CYCLISTS MUST
YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS ON
SIDEWALKS. AND WE ARE WORKING ON
AN AMENDMENT THAT WILL ALLOW
LOCALITIES TO RESTRICT CYCLING
ON SIDEWALKS THAT ARE DENSE.
WITH PEDESTRIANS AB EIGHT TWENTY
FIVE REMOVES BARRIERS TO CYCLING
REDUCES UNNECESSARY INTERACTIONS
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND HELPS
PREVENT NEEDLESS DEATHS ON OUR
ROADS IT'S A CRUCIAL STEP.
TOWARDS CREATING SAFER AND MORE
EQUITABLE STREETS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS AND WE RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. OUR RIGHTS NOW WILL
MOVE ON TO ANYONE WHO'D LIKE TO
HAVE ANY FORMAL OPPOSITION AT
THIS TIME NO MA'AM. OUR RIGHTS
IS THERE YES WILL MOVE. WELL
WELCOME ANYONE WHO LIKE TO FORM
OPPOSE THE BILL A. B. EIGHT TO
FIVE PLEASE. SHARE IN MEMBERS MY
NAME IS ALAN WALKED TELL
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF BICYCLING
ORGANIZATIONS. WHY WOULD RESPECT
THE AUTHOR'S INTENT WE DON'T
BELIEVE THIS BILL WOULD
ACCOMPLISH IT. AND WOULD INSTEAD
BE LESS SAFE FOR BOTH BICYCLISTS
AND PEDESTRIANS WE THEREFORE
TAKE. IN OPPOSE POSITION. UNDER
EXISTING VEHICLE CODE LANGUAGE
WHICH BY THE WAY I HELPED WRITE
. BICYCLISTS MAY ALREADY RIDE ON
SIDEWALKS EVERYWHERE AND LESS
PROHIBITED BY THE CODE OR LOCAL
ORDINANCES. AB EIGHT EIGHT
TWENTY FIVE WOULD ELIMINATE THAT
LOCAL POWER UNLESS THE JASON
ROADWAY AS A BIKE FACILITY.
ABBAS POSES. CLEAR CONFLICTS ON
NARROW CROWDED BUSINESS DISTRICT
SIDEWALKS. ESPECIALLY THOSE.
THAT MIGHT BE USED BY E. BIKES
ARE TRAILERS BUT THE AUTHORS
INDICATED HIS INTENT TO AMEND
THE BILL TO THAT EFFECT. SO I
WON'T DWELL ON THAT ISSUE. AB
EIGHT TWENTY FIVE WOULD ALSO BE
LESS SAFE FOR BICYCLISTS. RELIES
ON THE MISCONCEPTION THAT
BICYCLING ON SIDEWALKS IS SAFER
THAN THE STREET. THOUGH IT MAY
SOUND SURPRISING IN FACT THE
OPPOSITE IS TRUE. YOU HEARD
EARLIER THAT INTERSECTIONS ARE
THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACE FOR
PEDESTRIANS THEY'RE ALSO THE
MOST DANGEROUS PLACE FOR
BICYCLISTS. WHEN YOU'RE RIDING
ON A SIDEWALK YOU MAY BELIEVE
THAT YOU'RE SEPARATED FROM
AUTOMOBILE TRAFFIC. BUT IN MOST
CASES YOU'RE STILL CROSSING
INTERSECTIONS OR DRIVEWAYS WHICH
WERE KIND OF INTERSECTION. BUT
BECAUSE YOU'RE OUT OF THE NORMAL
TRAFFIC FLOW YOU'RE DOING THAT
IN A WAY. IT'S UNEXPECTED FOR
BICYCLISTS AND FOR TURNING AND
CROSSING TRAFFIC. YOU'RE OUT OF
NORMAL SCANNING PATTERNS AND THE
SITE LINES MAY BE OBSTRUCTED.
ARE YOUR COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
CITES A PEER REVIEWED ARTICLE.
THAT ESTIMATES THE RISK OF BEING
HIT BY A CAR WHILE BICYCLING ON
THE SIDEWALK. AT ONE POINT EIGHT
TO SIXTEEN TIMES THAT ON THE
ROAD. HI PUBLISHED RESEARCH
MYSELF THAT REACHES THE SAME
CONCLUSION. HI THE ANALYSIS ALSO
CITES LANGUAGE FROM THE NATIONAL
HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY
ADMINISTRATION EXPLAINS THE SAME
CONFLICT. AND IT CITES THE
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY DESIGN MANUAL
STATEMENT THE BICYCLE WE SHOULD
NOT BE ENCOURAGED TO RIDE THEIR
LIVES TO HAVES YOU UP FRONT OF
SOMEBODY'S THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO ACCOMMODATE BY SAYING. SO
SIDEWALK BICYCLING REMAINS AWFUL
IN MOST PLACES BUT CITIES THAT
HAVE DECIDED OTHERWISE SHOULD
RETAIN THAT OPTION. UP WE WOULD
BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE
AUTHOR'S OFFICE TO ACCOMMODATE
BICYCLE TRAVEL EVERYWHERE IS
PAYING. ATTENTION AT FOUR WE
APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY OKAY

APOLOGIZE FOR NOT BEING THERE
PERCENT REGRETTABLY CAL CITIES
AS OPPOSED TO LESS THAN. THANK
YOU ONLINE SEVENTY FIVE YOUR
LINE IS OPEN. IT'S AT THE POLISH
AND READ A BUNCH OF THE BIG. OF
R. O. T. L. THANK YOU HERE WE
HAVE NO SOME UP TO ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU MY- WILL TAKE IT BACK
TO. MEMBERS SENATOR BOXER. YES
THIS IS A REALLY GREAT AND I
JUST I THINK IT'S- THAT- THAT
WEEK THINK ABOUT BICYCLISTS AS
BEING MORE SIMILAR TO
PEDESTRIANS THAN SIMILAR TO CARS
AND YOU KNOW THAT THE WHOLE
SHERO MOVEMENT WAS THAT EFFORT
TO SAY- BICYCLISTS SHOULD BE
JUST RIDING ALONG WITH CARS. BUT
THE CATASTROPHIC INJURIES THAT
HAPPEN FROM THEM BEING WITH CARS
ESPECIALLY AS YOUR LEAD WITNESS
TALKED ABOUT- SEVEN LANES OF
TRAFFIC AND RIDING YOUR BICYCLE
ALONG THAT I MEAN I WOULD MUCH
RATHER BE ON A SIDEWALK SO- I
THINK IT'S REALLY GREAT AND I'M
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOUR AMENDMENTS DON'T. DIDN'T
SAY THAT IF THERE IS THAT IT'S A
SAFE BICYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE
INCLUDE SHERIFF'S BY THE CITY
PAINT CHERYL'S THEY DON'T GET TO
SAY THAT YOU DON'T GET TO BE ON
THE SIDEWALK. NO IT WOULD HAVE
TO BE- BY CLING OKAY YES AND I
JUST WANT TO- TO RECOGNIZE- THE
OPPOSITION IT WOULD BE FAR
BETTER IF WE HAD CLASS FOR.
BARRIER PROTECTED BIKE
FACILITIES SO THAT EVERY CYCLIST
COULD BE SAFE LIKE IN THE
NETHERLANDS AND OTHER PLACES
THAT HAVE THAT BUT WE'RE NOT
THERE YET AS A STATE
UNFORTUNATELY- AND SO THIS IS A
BOLD AND REALLY EXCITING
DEVELOPMENT AND I'M GLAD THAT
YOU THE BROTHERS FOR IT AND I'M
HAPPY WITH THE BILL. THANK YOU
SENATOR THANK YOU SENATOR NEELAM
. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR IT
CERTAINLY IS BOLD- FOR ME IT
GETS BACK TO LOCAL CONTROL
GEORGE I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE
BEEN HERE WHEN I'VE MADE OTHER.
COMMENTS ABOUT THIS BUT- I
ALWAYS VOW- TO LOCAL CONTROL.
AND THIS REALLY IS A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL THAT IS SUPPOSED TO
APPLY AND MODOC COUNTY JUST AS
IT WILL AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
AND I'VE KIND OF DON'T THINK
THAT'S SO BATTLE MARKS IF I CAN
AT THE ADDRESS ON IT. IF YOU ARE
NOT YIELDING TO PEDESTRIANS OR
DRIVING OR RIDING ANYTHING
UNSAFE MANNER LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS STILL HAVE THE
COMPLETED THIRTY TO ENFORCE.
THEIR LOCAL ORDINANCES AND STILL
SITE THIS CHANGES THE- THE
STARTING POSTURE FROM ONE OF YOU
JUST CAN NEVER DO IT TO ONE OF.
IF YOU IF THE BICYCLIST FEELS IT
SAFE IS FOR THEM- IN EVERYONE
ELSE AROUND THAT THEY SHOULD BE
ABLE TO DO THAT UNTIL YOU SEE
SOMETHING OTHERWISE. THAT'S WHEN
LOCAL ORDINANCES CAN STILL COME
IN. YEAH AND I DON'T THINK
THAT'S APPROPRIATE I THINK.
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS YOU KNOW BEST.
WHAT IS GOOD FOR THEIR CITIZENS
AND FOR THEIR THE USE OF THEIR
INFRASTRUCTURE. AND I THINK FOR
US AT THE STATE. TO DICTATE- HOW
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY FOR THEM TO
APPROACH THAT. I JUST THINK IS
NOT APPROPRIATE. OKAY THANK YOU
SENATOR SERTA. YEAH THE SAME OF
ALONG THE SAME LINES WHY DO YOU
THINK IT IS A STATE.
RESPONSIBILITY TO DO THIS AS
OPPOSED TO ALLOWING LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO DETERMINE FOR
THEMSELVES WHAT WORKS IN THEIR
CITY AND WHAT DOESN'T. YEAH
BECAUSE IT I THINK WHAT WE'RE
SEEING IS THAT- THE DATA IS
SHOWING US THAT WE STILL LOSE
NEARLY THREE CYCLISTS A WEEK. IT
SHOWING US THAT LOCALITIES WOULD
RATHER PAY OUT A HUNDRED TWELVE
MILLION DOLLARS OVER THE LAST
DECADE AND BILLS SAFE BIKE
INFRASTRUCTURE OR ALLOW THE
FLEXIBILITY. THAT PROVIDES FOR
CYCLISTS TO RIDE IN THE MANNER
THAT SAFE IS FOR THEM AND
EVERYBODY ELSE AND SO WHEN THE
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS ARE NOT-
STEPPING UP I WOULD ARGUE TO
THIS CALLING WE PUT IN
SAFEGUARDS THAT ALLOW THEM TO
STILL. MANEUVER AND CREATE THE
BEST CONDITIONS FOR THEIR AREA
BUT BUT MAKE SURE THAT THE
STATE'S. OVERALL INTERESTS ARE
PROTECTED IN THIS CASE THE
INTEREST IS TO PROTECT LOCAL
RESOURCES AND LIVES. BUT THE
BUDGET BASICALLY YOU'RE DOING A
BAN ON BANNING THAT APPLIES TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO BE ABLE TO
. DEAL WITH AN ISSUE. THAT IS. A
IN A MANNER THAT FITS THEIR
COMMUNITY AND ALSO THERE IS THAT
I MEAN SOME COMMUNITIES ARE OLD
AND HAVE GREAT SIDE WHAT ARE
DON'T HAVE. GREAT SIDEWALKS IN
SOME COMMUNITIES ARE NEW. THIS
SEEMS TO. CREATED A SITUATION
WHERE CITIES MAY BE IN A BINDING
TRYING TO FIX THIS OR DRESS
THIS. BUT THEY CAN'T. BECAUSE
SOMETIMES BANNING WHETHER IT'S
ONE STREET OR THE WHOLE CITY- IS
NOT ALLOWED BY THE STATE. ARE
THEY GONNA CALL THE STATE TO FIX
THE PROBLEM SO I THINK ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT THAT. PROVIDES
NEW ONES IN HERE AS IT IS IF THE
ENFORCEMENT OF THE CITATIONS
RIGHT THE FOLKS ARE DEFINITELY
STILL RIDING. ON THE SIDEWALK
WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S SAFE
BUBBLE DOES IT AROUND UCLA
PEOPLE DO IT IN PLACES THEY'RE
NOT ALLOWED TO WHEN THEY KNOW
IT'S SAFER. ESPECIALLY WITH
YOUNG CHILDREN THEY RIDE ON THE
SIDEWALK. PROBLEM IS THEY'RE NOT
ALL BEING CITED FOR. RIGHT ONLY
FOLKS WHO LOOK LIKE ME THE CHAIR
AND OTHERS ARE BEING CITED FOR.
I MEAN I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS THE STATE ALSO HAS AN
INTEREST BECAUSE IT'S NOT SEEN
AS AN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. WHEN
IT'S IN CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOODS IN
CERTAIN PLACES IT FOR SURE SEEN
AS ILLEGAL CONDUCT WHEN IT
CERTAIN PEOPLE IN CERTAIN AREAS
AND I THINK THAT'S ANOTHER.
RESPONSIBILITY THE STATE HAS TO
KINDA SET BROADER GUARD RAILS
THAT ALLOW FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO CONTINUE TO SET
UP THEIR OWN ORDINANCES AND
NAVIGATE BUT UNDER A FRAMEWORK-
THAT THAT PUTS SAFETY- IN
EVERYDAY PEOPLE FIRST. RIGHT AND
IF THAT WERE IF THAT WERE THE
CASE IN IN A COMMUNITY. I WOULD
EXPECT THAT THERE WOULD BE QUITE
AN UPRISING AGAINST THE PEOPLE
THAT MAKE THE DECISIONS IN THAT
COMMUNITY. THOSE BEING THE CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS AND THEY'RE A
LOT EASIER TO DEAL WITH THEN
TRYING TO OUT OF STATE. A- THE
STATE OFFICIALS. NO NO THAT'S
TRUE AND I THINK YOU KNOW OFTEN.
I THINK ABOUT OUR ROLE APPEARS
TO. TO PROVIDE VOICE FOR THE
FOLKS WHO DON'T OFTEN HAVE THE
POWER TO OUST US OR TO BRING
THEIR VOICE TO THIS PLACE AND
SO. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS THAT THIS IS A STATE
INTERESTS AND I APPRECIATE THE
QUESTION. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU
FOR YOUR ANSWERS APPRECIATE ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
ALRIGHT AND YOU DID TAKE THE
AMENDMENTS ON THE SUNSET AS WELL
AS A REPORT WHICH- PEOPLE. MAY
LEAD TO A LOT OF THAT THE
QUESTIONS HERE REPORT ON IMPACTS
OF THE BILL BY THE CHP DUE BY

THANK YOU FOR TAKING THOSE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHICH LIKE TO

ACROSS CALIFORNIA. BECAUSE SAFE
BIKE INFRASTRUCTURE DOES NOT
EXIST AND WHEN THEY TRY TO FIND
ALTERNATIVES TO BE SAFE FOR THEM
AND THEIR FAMILIES. INCLUDING
RIDING ON THE SIDEWALK WHEN THEY
KNOW THAT IT'S SAFER. WE
CRIMINALIZE CERTAIN FOLKS. I AND
WE SHOULDN'T DO THAT AND THIS

DIFFERENT WAY TO DO THAT WHILE

INCLUSIVE CITIES FOR EVERYBODY.

THIS BILL THIS IS A DISTRICT
BILL THAT SOME YOU HEARD IN THE
GOVERNMENT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE
WE CAN GO YOU KNOW RIGHT OUTSIDE
HERE MEMBERS HE YOU SEE THIS
LIGHT RAIL TRAIN IT'S OUR TRAIN
THAT GOES THAT IN SOME PARTS OF
THE CITY SACRAMENTO. IT DOESN'T
GO TO THE KEY PART WHICH IS THE
AIRPORT AND WHEN THEY WERE
TRYING TO MAKE THAT A REALITY IN
THIS WILL HELP US DO THAT BY
ALLOWING OUR LOCAL TRANSIT
DISTRICT R. T. TO FORM AN AREA.
TO GO TO THE VOTERS WHICH HAS A
PARTIAL DISTRICT FOCUSING ON THE
PARTS OF THE REGION WHICH WOULD
BENEFIT THE MOST ARE TRANSIT
DISTRICTS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTY
SOME PARTS OF EASTERN COUNTY MAY
NOT BENEFIT NOR HAVE THE DESIRE
TO ATTACKS HIMSELF- ON THIS PART
OF THE WESTERN PART OF THE OF
THE COUNTY. SO THIS DOESN'T.
NECESSARILY CHANGE THE PROCESS
FOR THE VOTE THRESHOLD- IS STILL
TWO THIRDS VOTE THRESHOLD YOU
STILL HAVE TO GO OUT TO THE
VOTERS IT'S NOT A GERRYMANDER
EITHER HE WAS STILL FOCUS ON
ENTIRE CITIES NOT SPLITTING
CITIES OR AREAS IN A CORPORATE
OR REGION. AGAIN THIS IS A LOCAL
DISTRICT BILL HELPING IMPROVE.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION A PRIORITY
OF THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR.
WITH ME IS MY LOCAL TRANSIT
DISTRIBUTORS DIVIDE SUPPORT.
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR ABOUT
THANK YOU- CHAIRMAN AT YOU MY
NAME IS GREG FISHMAN I'M THE
SENIOR COMMUNITY RELATIONS
OFFICER FOR SACRAMENTO REGIONAL
TRANSIT. I'LL BE BRIEF I KNOW
IT'S BEEN A LONG AFTERNOON- WE
ARE THE LARGEST TRANSIT PROVIDER
IN THE CAPITAL REGION OPERATING
EIGHTY TWO BUS ROUTES FORTY
THREE MILES OF LIGHT RAIL. FIFTY
THREE STATIONS WE OFFER A MICRO
TRANSIT SERVICE. AND EIGHTY A
POWER UP PARA TRANSIT SERVICES
WITHIN SACRAMENTO COUNTY-
INCLUDING THE CITIES OF
SACRAMENTO CITRUS HEIGHTS ELK
GROVE. FOLSOM AND RANCHO CORDOVA
WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY OF SERVICE THIS YEAR
WE FULLY BELIEVE IT SAFE
CONVENIENT AND INEXPENSIVE
PUBLIC TRANSIT BENEFITS
EVERYBODY IN OUR COMMUNITY
WHETHER THEY RIDE TRANSIT OR
NOT. BUT WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT
CERTAIN TRANSIT PROJECTS MAY
PROVIDE MORE BENEFIT TO SOME
PARTS OF OUR COMMUNITY MORE
PARTS OR SERVICE- TERRITORY THAN
OTHERS. CONSEQUENTLY WE WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
ASK ONLY PARTS OF THE COMMUNITY
WE SERVE TO APPROVE A BALLOT
MEASURE. TO PAY FOR PROJECTS
THAT WOULD SERVE THEIR REGION'S
MORE AS YOU SOMEONE MENTIONED
THIS IS NOT GERRYMANDERING WE
WOULD ASK THE FULL CITY OF
SACRAMENTO FOR EXAMPLE OR
POTENTIALLY THE FULL CITY OF
SACRAMENTO AND ELK GROVE
TOGETHER. TO APPROVE ATTACKS NOT
DISTRICT ARE PREACHING BY
PRECINCT OR ZIP CODE BY ZIP
CODE- AB TEN FIFTY TWO WOULD
GIVE SECRETARY THE AUTHORITY TO
PLACE THAT MEASURE ON THE BALLOT
AFFECTING ONLY CERTAIN
JURISDICTIONS- IF WE EVER USE
THE AUTHORITY GRANTED UNDER THIS
BILL WE WOULD NEED TO INCLUDE AN
EXPENDITURE PLAN. THAT SPECIFIES
HOW THE REVENUE WOULD BE SPENT-
PROJECTS WOULD ONLY BENEFIT THE
JURISDICTIONS RAISING THE FUNDS.
IT WOULD STILL REQUIRE A TWO
THIRDS VOTE OF THE OF THE
ELECTORATE. INDIVIDUAL CITIES
ALREADY HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
PUT REVENUE MEASURES ON THE
BALLOT ONLY WITHIN THEIR CITY SO
THERE'S ALREADY DIFFERENT TAX
LEVELS AMONG THE DIFFERENT
CITIES WITHIN SACRAMENTO COUNTY.
AT SOCCER T. IS ALWAYS HAD THE
AUTHORITY TO COLLECT PERSONAL
TAXES THIS BILL JUST CLARIFIED
THAT THE FORTY. AND WE'VE
ACCEPTED AMENDMENTS TO CLARIFY
THAT REVENUE FROM ANY PROPERTY
TAX WOULD ONLY BE USED. FOR
CAPITAL PROJECTS- THIS MEASURE
IS INTENDED TO GIVE SECRETARY
ANOTHER TOOL TO HELP US NAVIGATE
AN UNCERTAIN FINANCIAL FUTURE.
AND ENSURE EQUITY IN VOTING FOR
SOCCER TO YOU MEASURES BY ALL.
ASKING THOSE AREAS AFFECTED TO-
TO VOTE- WE MAY NEVER NEED TO
USE THIS TOOL- BUT WE WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE. IF WE DO
NEED IT AND WE RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU AND I
KNOW YOU'VE BEEN VERY PATIENT IS
ALSO APPRECIATE THAT THE
TESTIMONY. STICKING BY US. ALL

GOOD AFTERNOON I WAS IS A GOOD
MORNING BUT THEN I REALIZE HOW
LATE IT IS- SO GOOD AFTERNOON
CHAIR MEMBERS- I AM PROUD TO
PRESENT AB THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE
WHICH IS LEGISLATION THAT
SPONSORED BY ABUNDANT HOUSING
LOS ANGELES WHICH STRENGTHENS
THE SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES
STRATEGY PROGRAM OR S. C. S. A
LOCAL PLANNING PROCESS THAT
ENCOURAGES MORE HOUSING. NEAR
TRANSIT TO REDUCE OUR RELIANCE
ON CARS AND ADDRESS OUR HOUSING
AND HOW THE CLIMATE CRISIS AB
THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE A LINE C.
S. C. S. PROGRAM WITH THE
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ALLOCATION OR READING THAT
PROCESS AND MAKES IT EASIER FOR
CITIES AND COUNTIES TO MEET
THEIR HOUSING NEEDS. IN A MORE
SUSTAINABLE WAY CURRENTLY THE
ASSUMPTIONS AND INFORMATION USED
TO DEVELOP THE SCS PROGRAM ARE
DIFFERENT FROM THE ASSUMPTIONS
THAT CITIES AND COUNTY USED TO
DEVELOP THE RE IN A PROCESS. AS
A RESULT THERE'S A DISCREPANCY
THAT IS LED TO AN
UNDERESTIMATION OF THE HOUSING
NEEDS FOR CERTAIN AREAS IN THE
SCS PROCESS WHEN SCS HOUSING
NUMBERS ARE LESS THAN THE REASON
THE HOUSING NUMBERS MUCH NEEDED
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ARE UNABLE
TO ACCESS INCENTIVES LIKE SECRET
STREAMLINING. AND S. YES RELATED
GRANTS AB THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE
ADDRESSES THIS PROBLEM BY
REQUIRING THAT SCS HOUSING
NUMBERS ARE NOT ARE NOT LOWER
THAN THE RENO HOUSING NUMBERS
THIS BILL WILL MAKE IT EASIER
FOR CITIES AND COUNTIES TO
IMPLEMENT SCS AND CREATE MORE
HOUSING NEAR TRANSIT. AB
THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE WILL ALSO
RESULT IN VALUABLE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE EFFICACY ABOUT OF THE
SCS PROGRAM AND CREATES
TRANSPARENCY AROUND LOCAL
PROGRESS TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT. I UNDERSTAND THAT
THEIR BIG CONCERNS RAISED ABOUT
THE POTENTIAL RISK TO FEDERAL
CONFORMITY. AND I'M COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO
THE- THROUGH THE SUMMER RECESS
TO SURE THAT OUR BILL DOES NOT
JEOPARDIZE FEDERAL FUNDS FOR
TRANSPORTATION THIS WAS A VERY
RECENT- ISSUE THAT WAS RAISED
AND- THIS GAG AND CAL COG OF NOT
GIVEN US LANGUAGE TO. FIX IT YET
BUT WE ARE DETERMINED DAY AXES
TO SPECIALIZE IN FEDERAL
CONFORMITY WHEN I WAS- THE LAND
USE LAWYERS I KNOW THAT EVERY
AREA WELL ALL AND WE SHOULD BE
ABLE TO FIX THAT- WITH SOME
FOCUS ON IT- TO. DO WITH ME
TODAY IS AN BEHIND SHEIKH ON
BEHALF OF ABUNDANT HOUSING LA
WHICH IS THE SPONSOR OF THE BILL
TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION AND ASSIST WITH
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU WELCOME.
THANK YOU HONORABLE MADAM CHAIR
GONZALEZ AND ESTEEMED MEMBERS MY
NAME IS AMY HINES SHAIKH
REPRESENTING ABUNDANT HOUSING LA
THE SPONSORS OF ASSEMBLY BILL
ONE THREE THREE FIVE. APPENDING
HOUSING ELLIE BELIEVES IN
HOUSING FOR ALL GUIDED BY THE
VALUES OF RACIAL JUSTICE AND
EQUITY. ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS
THE CONVERGING HOUSING AND
CLIMATE CRISES AB ONE THREE
THREE FIVE IS ALSO KNOWN AS A
STRENGTHENING SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITIES STRATEGIES ACT.
THERE ARE TWO PROCESSES TO PLAN
FOR HOUSING AT THE REGIONAL
LEVEL THE REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ASSESSMENT AND THE R. T. P. S.
YES. THESE TWO PROCESSES ARE
FREQUENTLY MISALIGNED IN THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES FOR EXAMPLE.
THEY ARE SIMULTANEOUSLY TRYING
TO PLAN FOR FOURTEEN THOUSAND
SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY. PER YEAR
PER THE SCS NUMBER AND THAT'S
HOUSING TARGETS. AND SIX FIFTY
SEVEN THOUSAND AND EIGHTY
HOUSING TARGETS AN ANNUALIZED
RENO NUMBER. SO THAT'S ON THE
RIGHT HAND NOT KNOWING WHAT THE
LEFT HAND IS DOING THERE. IN
TWENTY TWENTY THE LACK OF
ALIGNMENT BECAUSE LOGISTICAL
CHALLENGES AT SKAGGS FOR THE
ADOPTION OF THE RENO WHICH
ULTIMATELY CAUSED A SIX MONTH
DELAY IN THE FINALIZATION OF THE
RENO NUMBERS AND HAVE TO THE
AMOUNT OF TIME SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA CITIES HAVE TO
COMPLETE. THEIR HOUSING ELEMENTS
THIS WAS SUCH A DISRUPTION
LOCALLY THAT THE STATE FELT
COMPELLED TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE
FOR A COMPLAINT HOUSING ELEMENT
BY PASSING SB ONE NINETY SEVEN
AND TWENTY TWENTY TWO. ASSEMBLY
BILL ONE THREE THREE FIVE
ADDRESSES TWO ASPECTS OF THIS
PROBLEM. IT REQUIRES THAT THE S.
YES USE THE R. H. N. D. AS A
FLOOR FOR ITS SHORT TERM HOUSING
TARGETS ASSUMPTIONS.
ADDITIONALLY IT REQUIRES THAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS REPORT ON WHAT
PROGRESS THEY ARE MAKING TOWARDS
PRODUCING HOUSING IN THE SCS
PRIORITY AREAS. IN THEIR GENERAL
PLAN ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT WE
WOULD LIKE TO THANK OUR VISION
ONLY A VISIONARY AUTHOR MR ZUBER
AND OUR FRIENDS AT THE COUNCIL
OF GOVERNMENTS WHO ARE OPPOSING
TODAY. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
THEM TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS
REGARDING FEDERAL CONFORMITY AND
TIMELINE ISSUES. AND WE COMMIT
TO CONTINUING OUR PRODUCTIVE
EFFORTS THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION
AND WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST HER
AYE VOTE. ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE
TO COME FOR PLEASE. MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS SILVIO FOR HIM TO HAVE
THE CALIFORNIA BUILDING INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT THANK YOU
. BRENT SADLER BEHALF OF CIVIC
WILD BILL SAID PROPERTIES
CHANNEL PROPERTIES. SPUR AND
UNITED WAY GREATER LA IN SUPPORT
THANK YOU. SELECTING WITH THE
SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP
THINK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD AND WE SUPPORT
THIS BILL THANK YOU. THANK YOU
ANYONE ELSE WHO'D LIKE TO COME
FORWARD OKAY SEE NONE WE'LL TAKE
IT TO THE MODERATOR ANYONE ON
THE LINE. MY APOLOGIES- THERE IS
CLEARLY OPPOSITION SO WE'VE GOT
CAL KAGHAN SKAGGS SO WOULD YOU
LIKE TO GO FIRST. GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS TO BRING A BRADBURY WITH
THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
COUNCILS OF GOVERNMENT. IN
OPPOSITION OF AB THIRTEEN THIRTY
FIVE. AT THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
CORRECTLY SITES MANY OF THE
ISSUES THAT WE SEE WITH THIS
BILL ONE OF OUR LARGEST IT
CONCERNS IS THAT IT WOULD
REQUIRE REGIONAL- AGENCIES TO
INVEST IN TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS. IN AREAS THAT ARE
HOUSED FOR ZONING- THAT ARE
ZONED FOR HOUSING AND HOUSING IS
PLANNED IN THOSE AREAS. THROUGH
THE RENEWAL PROCESS BUT THAT
HOUSING MAY NOT COME IN LINE
ONLINE DURING THE PLANNING
HORIZON PERIOD. THE STATE HAS
MADE A HUGE INVESTMENT IN
TRANSIT FUNDING IN WITH STRONG
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES. SO WE
NEED TO BE BUILDING TRANSIT
WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT WHERE
WE THINK THEY WILL BE IN THEORY.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT ONE
MIGHT THINK IF YOU BILL TRANSIT
THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE HOUSING
WILL FOLLOW. BUT ONCE THE TRANS
IN ITS TRANSIT IS BUILT WE WILL
NEED TO OPERATE THAT TRANSIT.
WHICH WILL REQUIRE FUNDING AND
HIRE STAFF TO. PROVIDE SAFE
CLEAN AND RELIABLE SYSTEM. IT
WOULD ALSO AFFECT FAREBOX
RECOVERY RATES IF WE DON'T HAVE
THE DENSITY AND THE RIDERSHIP
FOR THAT TRANSIT. THE
SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES STRATEGY
REQUIRES A BALANCE WITH REGARDS
TO GROWTH IN POPULATION HOUSING
JOBS AND SERVICES THAT WE CAN
REASONABLY EXPECT TO COME ON
LINE WITHIN THE TWENTY PLUS YEAR
HORIZON. SO JUST PRESSING A
THUMB DOWN ON HOUSING AND HOPING
THAT THAT HOUSING BILL CUT BE
BUILT JUST BECAUSE IT'S AN SCS.
DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL ACTUALLY
COME TO FRUITION. WE'RE WILLING
TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSOR TO FIND A
LEGISLATIVE SOLUTION TO THE
ISSUE THEY HAVE SIDED WITH SPEAK
WITH STREAMLINING. WE'VE OFFERED
A FEW SUGGESTIONS ON HOW WE
MIGHT. MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT
BUT WE THINK IT WOULD HAVE TO BE
A VERY DIFFERENT BILL. WE DO
HAVE THE AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY
REST CONCERNS BUT WE ALSO. COULD
CAN'T SUPPORT A BILL THAT WOULD
TAKE AWAY THE ABILITY FOR
REGIONS TO BE ABLE TO.
GROUNDTRUTH THE HOUSING
PRODUCTION THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO
SEE VERSUS WHAT THE MARKET MIGHT
ACTUALLY BRING. SO WITH THAT WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AB THIRTEEN
THIRTY FIVE AND REQUEST A NO
VOTE. MANAGER MEMBERS NEGRO ON
BEHALF OF THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
GOVERNMENTS AS GAG REMAINS IN
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO
THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE. WE DO
SHARE THE OFFICE CONCERN AND
COMMITMENT. TO SOLVING OUR
STATE'S TWEETING HOUSING AND
CLIMATE CRISES- BY ERIC I SAID
THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE WE DON'T
BELIEVE THAT IS THE SOLUTION- WE
ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS MEASURE
WILL THREATEN BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. AND TRANSPORTATION
DOLLARS FROM FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT- WE KNOW THE AUTHORS
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH US ON
THAT WE LOOK FORWARD TO DOING
SO. JUST LITTLE DETAIL FIVE FIVE
SKAGGS PERSPECTIVE. OFFERED
PLANNING DOCUMENTS FROM OUR
TECHNICAL EXPERTS PROJECT THAT
ONE POINT THREE MILLION HOUSING
UNITS WILL BE CONSTRUCTED. BUT
JUST OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF
TIME. THAT IS SKAGGS THIRTY YEAR
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION. PLAN TO
SINGLE COMMUNITIES BLACK. AND WE
BASE OUR FOR- ESSENCE OF BRING
UP MENTION BEFORE US ON.
DEVELOPMENT ON THAT WE THINK
WILL TAKE PLACE BASED ON
INFORMATION WE GET FROM THE
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. AND THE
ACTUAL DEVELOPMENT FOR CASH
SHOWS WE YOU KNOW. FIFTY FOUR
THOUSAND NEW HOUSING UNITS. WERE
CONSTRUCTED AND IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA IN TWENTY TWENTY TO.
HAVE GUESTS IN TWENTY TWENTY
WHICH IS THE HIGHEST SINCE TWO
THOUSAND SIX. SO THIS BILL
ASSUMING THAT THAT NUMBER WHICH
APPLE TO WHILE OVER SIX HUNDRED
AND SIXTY SEVEN THOUSAND UNITS.
WILL BE BUILT WITHIN THE NEXT
EIGHT YEARS- WE DON'T BELIEVE IS
A RESPONSIBLE APPROACH TO OUR
PLANNING OR FORECASTING. SO
USING ARENA AS A TARGET. AS A
PLANNING FORECASTS ARE WE
BELIEVE WILL HAVE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES ARE FOR CONFORMITY
WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. WE
BELIEVE THAT HAVE IMPACTS ON OUR
GARDEN GIANT INFRASTRUCTURE HERE
AT HOME. AND IF QUE CAN'T MEET
ITS AIR QUALITY OR CONFORMITY
AND USE FEDERAL TRANSPORTATION
DOLLARS. WE CERTAINLY WILL
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACT A
NUMBER OF TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS ARE CRITICAL TO THIS
COMMITTEE IT'S NOT JUST HIGHWAYS
IS TRANS IN ALL SORTS OF. GREAT
PROJECTS THAT ALL OF YOU
SUPPORTED TODAY DIFFERENT IN
DIFFERENT MEASURES SO WE LOOK WE
DO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE AUTHOR- TO WORK OUT THE
ISSUES WITH CONFORMITY- BUT
TODAY WE ARE ASKING YOU FOR AN
OVER. THANK YOU ANYONE ELSE
YOU'D LIKE TO COME FORWARD IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION OF AB
THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE PLEASE.
OKAY NOW WILL TAKE IT TO
MODERATOR- ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE
TO QUEUE UP IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION OF AB THIRTEEN THIRTY
FIVE PLEASE. THANK YOU ORDER
OPPOSITION OF AB THIRTEEN THIRTY
FIVE YOU MAY PRESS ONE AND THEN

THANK YOU LINE SEVENTY SIX. HI
JIM KENNEDY WITH THE MARKET
CORRECT WELL ALL YOU REPORTED AB
. THIRTEEN THIRTY FIVE. THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR WE HAD ENOUGH
FOR THE SUPPORTER OPPOSITION IN
KILL OKAY THANK YOU MODERATOR
WILL TAKE IT BACK FOR QUESTIONS
SENATOR NEWMAN. THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR IT'S SO IT'S SO I AM GOING
TO. SUPPORT THE BILL WITH WITH
RESERVATIONS MY RESERVATIONS
ACTUALLY HAVE TO DO WITH I THINK
A REASONABLE POINT MADE BY
SKAGIT IN THAT ARENA IS NOT
NECESSARILY THE BEST. PREDICTOR
OF HOUSING CREATION CONSTRUCTION
AND I THINK THAT'S AN INHERENT
FLAW NOT OF YOUR BILL BUT IF I
THINK OF THE RENEWAL PROCESS
GENERALLY- SO I DO HAVE SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT ALIGNING- TO YOUR
METRICS THE TIMELESS AGAINST
ARENA TIMELINE- IS I THINK
THERE'S A THERE'S A BODY OF
EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST THAT RAIN
IS. NOT NECESSARILY ACCURATE
MOREOVER- IT MAY NOT BE THE BEST
EXERCISE IF YOU WILL BUT IT BUT
YOU KNOW THAT THE BROADER THAN
IT SHOULD MAKE SENSE TO ME- BUT
I BUT I JUST WANT BUT THERE IN
THE RECORDS I DO THINK THAT WE
AS A BODY HAVE TO START
RETHINKING. ARENA AS A TOOL- AND
AS A REQUIREMENT IS AN
OBLIGATION THAT WE- SORT OF-
APPLIED TO- YOU KNOW REGIONAL
THE TWO COGS- TAKES A LOT OF
STAFF TIME- BUT- RECYCLED IT.
DOESN'T ACTUALLY CREATE. THE
HOUSING- AND AT SOME POINT I
THINK WE HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT AND WORK FOR IT BUT- THAT'S
MY CONCERN THANK YOU. THANK YOU
. SENATE ARCHULETA- THANK YOU A
MEMBER FROM IT FOR. I'M A MEMBER
OF THE SHOW SHE SHE REALTORS I'M
GOING TO SUPPORT THE BILL BUT I
THINK THAT WE'VE GOT TO DO
SOMETHING AS MY COLLEAGUE
MENTIONED. THE REMEMBERS I HEAR
IT THROUGHOUT MY DISTRICT.
THEY'RE JUST. I MEAN. THEY'RE
UNATTAINABLE I MEAN THAT'S WHAT
I KEEP HEARING. BUT I THINK
YOU'RE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION
THIS IS BY TRANSPORTATION IT'S
ABOUT HOUSING ABOUT THE FUTURE.
OF CALIFORNIA IN THE NEEDS THAT
WE HAVE TO FILL- CHAU TO STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND NOW-
MOVE IT. AT THE PROPER TIME OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- RATES AND
I. ALSO DID YOU WANNA GO HAD
RESPONDED IDEA TO GO TO VOTE TO
BOTH COMMENTS. YES YES NUMBERS
ARE OFF AS WELL AND ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT TO ME YES YES
PROGRAM- AND I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
TO ALIGN THEM IS THAT THE RAIN
UP PROCESS ACTUALLY HAS MORE
TEETH IN IT THAN THE SAS PROCESS
DOES. WITH THE S. S. PROCESSES
IT TAKES THOSE ARENA NUMBERS
THAT ARE BASICALLY. YOU KNOW-
ALLOCATED BY. AND IT'S BASICALLY
TRYING TO MAKE MOVE THEM
TOWARDS. IN MORE HOUSING ALONG
THE TRANSIT CORRIDORS- YOU KNOW
I. THE OPPOSITION FROM CAL
COGGINS GAG WE'RE NOT QUITE
SURE. YOU KNOW WHAT THE REAL
BASIS IS BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN
RAISING THESE CONCERNS FOR TWO
AND A HALF MONTHS AND WE KEEP
ASKING THEM FOR AMENDMENTS AND
WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING IN
WRITING AT ALL YET- AND WE'RE
STILL HAPPY TO. TO WORK OUT
THESE THE CONFORMITY ISSUE I
HAVE NO DOUBT THEY'RE GONNA BE
ABLE TO FIX- BUT WHAT THIS DOES
IS IT MOVES IT MOVES- THE MORE.
MORE OF THE HOUSING ALLOCATION
INTO THIS INTO THE SS REGION
WHICH IS. A LONG TRANSIT AND
WHEN THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT
MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE LINING
THE TRANSPORTATION I MEAN.
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT'S HAPPENING EVERY
TWO OR THREE YEARS I MEAN WE
KNOW WHAT THE TRANSIT ROUTES ARE
THAT ARE BEING PLANNED THERE MAY
BE DETAILS. IN TERMS OF SOME
SOME LEVEL OF ALIGNMENT BUT
BASICALLY WE KNOW WE'RE A BUS
ROUTES IN OUR TRANSPORTATION IS
OUR LONG TERM PLANNING AND WHAT
THIS THIS YES PROGRAM DOES IS IT
MOVES TO HOUSING. TOWARDS THE
TRANSIT THAT'S ALREADY THERE SO-
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH CAL
COGGINS GAG. ON THESE ISSUES BUT
YOU KNOW THEY TOLD ME AT ONE
POINT THAT. THEY COULD JUST DO
THIS ADMINISTRATIVELY WITHOUT A
PIECE OF LEGISLATION AND MY
RESPONSE TO THAT WAS WELL. THIS
IS CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS
IT'S BECAUSE THE PROBLEMS THESE
HEARD THE BILL'S SPONSORS
DESCRIBE. WHY HAVEN'T YOU DONE
THAT YET AND SO- THEY HAVEN'T
DONE THAT AND SO THIS IS HARMING
I THINK THE PLANNING THAT'S
NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE AND IT
REDUCES THE IMPACT OF THE SAS
PROGRAM WHICH IS THE PROGRAM
THAT MOVES THE HOUSING. TOWARDS
THE TRANSIT SO. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU WILL BE CLARIFIED ARC- MY
QUESTION ON THE FEDERAL
CONFORMITY AND I KNOW YOU'LL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH- BOTH CAL
. GAG AND- OTHER MPO SO THANK
YOU FOR THAT IF YOU HAVE A
MOTION BY SENATOR ARCHULETA
MADAM SECRETARY CAN YOU PLEASE

MEMBER SANTIAGO THAT IS FILE
ITEM EIGHTEEN AB FOURTEEN
FIFTEEN. THANK A MENTOR- THEY
BEGIN. YEAH THANK YOU I
PERSONALLY THINK THE COMMITTEE-
AND YOU MENTOR FOR HELPING US.
WITH THE AMENDMENT SO WE ACCEPT
THOSE AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR HELPING US TO MAKE IT A
BETTER BILL- AND BASICALLY WHAT
THIS DOES IS EXTENDS OUT FROM
THE WORK THAT WE DID YEARS AGO
TO EXTEND- THE ABILITY TO HAVE
SIGNAGE- WITHIN SAID AREAS OF
LOS ANGELES. AND THESE ARE AREAS
WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF
ENTERTAINMENT HOSPITALITY AND
INTEREST OPTIONS SO CERTAINLY
IT'S LIMITED TO THOSE PARTICULAR
AREAS- AND BASICALLY WE'RE DOING
THIS FOR ALLOW FOR A REVENUE
STREAM- NOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE-
FOR EXAMPLE- THE REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCIES AND SO FOR TO BE ABLE
TO ATTRACT AND INVEST. THE BILL
IS DOESN'T SAY THAT THERE HAS TO
BE SIGNAGE THERE WHAT IT DOES
SAY THOUGH IS THAT THE LOCALS
CAN MAKE A DECISION TO HAVE
SIGNAGE UNDER WHATEVER
CONDITIONS THEY DO DARK THEY
THEY DEEMED- APPROPRIATE TO DO
SO- IT WOULDN'T JEOPARDIZE ANY
FEDERAL FUNDING BECAUSE IF HE-
IT THEY- JUST WANT TO BE
ALLOWED- AND THEN THERE ARE
CERTAIN PARAMETERS AROUND HAVE
BEEN- DECIDES AS WELL CAN'T DO.
A MATURE LADY- YOU CAN DO FARMS-
THAT SAID I'D RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE AGAIN THANK YOU
FOR THE AMENDMENT TO ACCEPT THEM
THANK YOU AND BEFORE THAT I
KNOW- JUST TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT
THIS IS A DIVERSION FROM THAT-
COMMITTEES HISTORIC ONCE A LONG
STANDING POLICY AGAINST HEARING
BILLS THAT CREATE EXEMPTIONS.
FROM THE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING ACT

OF YOUR FORMER BILL AND FOR THAT
REASON WILL DO THAT I DON'T KNOW
IF THERE ARE ANY- AT THE- IF
ANYBODY HAS AN OBJECTION TO THAT
SORRY IT'S BEEN A VERY LONG DAY.
