WITH ALL OF YOU- ON SOME OF THE
CONCERNS OUTLINED IN THE
ANALYSIS AS WE SAID AS WE KNOW
SOLAR SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC
DEPLOYMENT IS FORTUNATELY GROWN
AT AN PRESIDENT RECENT R.
STATES- HOWEVER AS THE PC MARKET
PANEL MARC INCREASES SO WILL THE
VOLUME OF DECOMMISSION PEAVEY
PANELS. SECTORS LIKE PPL
RECYCLING WILL BE ESSENTIAL IN
THE STATE'S TRANSITION TO A
SUSTAINABLE ECONOMICALLY VIABLE
AND INCREASINGLY RENEWABLE
ENERGY FUTURE SO THIS BILL AB
TWO WILL FULFILL SOME OF THE
MISSING STEPS TOWARDS CREATING A
TRULY CIRCULAR SOLAR ENERGY
ECONOMY BY ESTABLISHING A TWO
PRONG SOLUTION TO REQUIRE ALL
PANEL SOLD IN CALIFORNIA. ARE
PROPERLY MANAGED AT THE END OF
THEIR LIFE AND ENSURING THAT NO
PANELS AND UP IN LANDFILLS FIRST
THIS BILL EXPANDS THE ELECTRONIC
WASTE RECYCLING ACT OF TWO
THOUSAND AND THREE TO INCLUDE
UNDER THE DEFINITION OF COVERED
ELECTRONIC WASTE. CUSTOMER OWNED
SOLAR PEAVEY MODULES ESTABLISHES
A COVERED SOLAR PEAVEY RECYCLING
FEE THIS FEE WILL BE CALCULATED
BY CAL RECYCLE BASED ON THE
ROUTE REASONABLE REGULATORY
COSTS TO ENSURE THERE IS A PLAN
IN FINANCING IN PLACE TO
PROPERLY RECYCLE RE USE OR
DISPOSE. OF ALL PEAVEY MODULES
AFTER THEY ARE DECOMMISSIONED
SECOND FOR ALL PANELS NOT
COVERED UNDER THE CUSTOMER OWN
DEFINITION SUCH AS UTILITY OR
OTHER LARGE SCALE SOLAR IN
SOLUTION AS SOLAR INSTALLATIONS.
THE PANEL OWNERS WILL BE
REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN END OF
LIFE MANAGEMENT PLAN TO CAL
RECYCLE THESE PLANS WILL FOLLOW
GUIDELINES ALREADY SET BY CAL
RECYCLE AND WILL BE SUBJECT TO
AUDITS AND PENALTIES FOR
NONCOMPLIANCE. CALIFORNIA WE
LEAD THE NATION IN RENEWABLE
ENERGY ADOPTION WERE UNIQUELY
POSITIONED TO BE A MODEL FOR THE
SUSTAINABLE END OF LIFE PEAVEY
PANEL MANAGEMENT SO WE MUST TAKE
STEPS NOW TO ENSURE THAT THE
SOLAR ENERGY REMAINS COMPLETELY
RENEWABLE. AND CONTINUES TO BE
CALIFORNIA'S BEST ENERGY OPTION
FOR MY WITNESSES OF PORT I HAVE

THE CALIFORNIA PRODUCT

WITNESS. GOOD MORNING PERSONAL
JUST ON BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA
PARKS YOUR COUNTS. I WAS A POWER
NETWORK OF LOCAL. NON GOVERNMENT

INDIVIDUALS SUPPORTING POLICIES
AND PROJECTS WERE PRODUCERS.
SHARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
MANAGING. A PROBLEM PRODUCTS TO
THEIR END OF LIFE ARE WE ARE THE
PROUD NOW SPONSORS IN AB TWO TO
ENSURE THAT THERE'S AND A LIFE-
THE PLAN FOR THE SOLAR PANELS.
WE APPRECIATE THE WORK OF HIS
OWN MEMBER WARD IN THE STAFF AND
THE COMMITTEE ON THIS BILL AND-
APPRECIATE WERE EITHER THE GOALS
GOING TOWARDS- SOLAR PANELS THAT
HAVE REACHED THEIR END OF. A
LIFE WHICH ARE OFTEN ABANDONED
BECOME THE OBLIGATION OF
RESIDENCE OR ARE LEGALLY DUMPED.
BOTH OF WHICH COST OR COST PER
INTO LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. AT
EITHER HOUSEHOLD HAZARD WASTE
FACILITIES OR AS PART OF THE
ILLEGAL DUMPING CLEANUP EFFORTS.
THE CURRENT AVERAGE COSTS FOR
PROCESSING AND RECYCLING OF
THESE OLD SOLAR PANELS IS
ESTIMATED TO BE TWENTY DOLLARS
PER PANEL FREE TYPICAL
HOUSEHOLD. WITH SIXTEEN POUNDS
IT'S ESTIMATED TO COST THREE
HUNDRED TWENTY- BY HOUSEHOLD
HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITIES.
CUSTOMER OWNED SOLAR PANELS ONLY
REPRESENT APPROXIMATELY 10215%
OF THE PANELS OUT THERE- IN AB
TWO PROVIDES A NEEDED FUNDING
FOR THE COLLECTION AND
RECYCLING. OF OLD COUNSELOR
PANELS THAT ARE CURRENTLY OR ARE
HAVE BEEN CUSTOMER OWN CUSTOMER
OWNED SOLAR PANELS. ARE THOSE
THAT EXIST ON ROOFTOPS WHERE IN
THE PROPERTY OWNER HAS EITHER
FINANCE PURCHASE OR OUTRIGHT
PURCHASE THEIR SOLAR SYSTEM.
INCLUDING THE PURCHASE A
PROPERTY WHERE IN THE SOLAR
SYSTEM ALREADY EXISTS. SINCE
THERE IS NOW A VISIBLE FEET
APPLY TO EACH NEW PANEL
INSTALLED IN CALIFORNIA UNDER
CUSTOMER OWN REQUIREMENTS THE
FUNDS COLLECTED WILL BE MANAGED
BY CAL RECYCLE AND THIS WILL
HELP INSURE THE PROPER
MANAGEMENT. AND THE USE OF THE
PUBLIC FUND MONEY. OUT WE THINK
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE WE HOPE
TO CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION
WITH THE SOLE INDUSTRY- AND- ON
BEHALF OF THE WESTERN FASTER
WASTE MANAGEMENT THIRTY THEY ARE
ALSO IN SUPPORT AND WE HAVE
DUBBED COLD BALL- WHOSE PARTY
CPSC. WHO CAN ANSWER ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THANK YOU.
GREAT. THANK YOU. YES MA'AM.
MISTER CHAIR NUMBERS MANY HUNT
ON BEHALF THE SOLAR ENERGY.
ASSOCIATION OR SEIA. WITHIN
TRADE FOR THE SO INDUSTRY. AND
REPRESENT MORE THAN A THOUSAND
COMPANIES ACROSS THE VALUE CHAIN
FOR SOLAR. INCLUDING THE
BURGEONING RECYCLING MARKETS- UP
AND DOWN- UP THE COAST- AND THE
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. WE ARE
PROUD TO SUPPORT AB TWO WE THINK
THIS IS A WORKABLE FRAMEWORK-
THAT LETS THE COVER CYCLE
EXPERTS HELP US DEVELOP
GUIDELINES FOR END OF LIFE
MANAGEMENT PLANS. FOR THE LION'S
SHARE OF SOLAR IN CALIFORNIA
TODAY. IT ALSO DOES- AS
PRISCILLA MENTIONED CREATE A NEW
FEE STRUCTURE FOR THOSE PANELS.
THAT ARE NOT OTHERWISE COVERED
UNDER A PLAN OR ORDER CUSTOMER
OWNED. WE THINK IT'S NOT THIS IS
A REALLY GOOD WORK OUT WORKING
PLAN. TO ENSURE THAT WE DO START
MANAGING- PALES IN US OF
ORGANIZED AND FOCUSED WAY IN
CALIFORNIA THEY ARE BEING
MANAGED TODAY- BUT PROBABLY NOT
IN THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY. WE
THINK THAT RECYCLING AND PUSHING
FORWARD FOR A CYCLING MAKE SURE
THAT WE DON'T HAVE THEM AND UP
AND LANDFILLS WERE ABANDONED AND
IN SOME OTHER FASHION AROUND OUR
STATE. WE ALSO THINK THAT
CALIFORNIA CAN BE A MODEL AND
SHOW THE REST OF THE NATION HOW
WE CAN GET. A RECYCLING PROGRAM
UP AND GOING TO START MANAGING
WHAT WE KNOW WILL BE- A VERY
ROBUST AMOUNT OF PANELS ON AS WE
GO FORWARD AND MOVE TOWARDS HER
PERCENT CLEAN RENEWABLE ENERGY.
FOR OUR COUNTRY AND OUR- AND OUR
WORLD. WE I'M OBVIOUSLY KNOW
THAT THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF
WORK LEFT TO DO WE ARE COMMITTED
TO DO THAT WITH THIS COMMITTEE
WITH SOMEONE EVER WORN HIS TEAM-
AND OUR FRIENDS AT CPSC. WE ARE
THRILLED TO BE IN THIS POSITION

QUESTIONS SO LET'S GO FIRST TO
THE ACT TO CENTER. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I'M- AS A MEMBER
WITH SO MUCH RESPECT TO YOU AND
YOU KNOW AS THE AUTHOR OF THIS
TONIGHT AND REALLY UNDERSTAND
THE INTENT OF THIS. AND ALLOW
THE INDIVIDUALS WHO SPOKE SAID
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO BE
DONE. IT'S JUST I'M HAVING A
LITTLE TROUBLE TAKING THAT IN AS
THIS IS THE LAST POLICY-
COMMITTEE IT'S GOING TO GO TO
USUALLY. WITH SO MUCH WORK TO BE
DONE SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE IT
GETS THE LAST POLICY COMMITTEE
SO I JUST HAVE A LOT OF
QUESTIONS FOR THIS SPECIFIC AT
THE BILL ASSEMBLY MEMBER- YOU
KNOW THE ANALYSIS. I MEAN THIS
IS ONE OF THE ANALYSIS THAT POSE
SO MANY QUESTIONS ON THAT IS YET
TO BE MISSING AND I'M JUST WANNA
KNOW IF YOU COULD JUST EXT TALK
A BIT MORE ABOUT SPECIFICALLY
WHAT DO YOU THINK WOULD BE ADDED
TO THIS BILL SHOULD COME OUT OF
COMMITTEE REGARDING WHAT GOES
INTO THE PLAN I MEAN IMPEACH SIX
ANALYSIS IT ASKED. SIX NINE
DIFFERENT THINGS THAT SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED TO BE ADDED- WHO'S
GOING TO DEVELOP THE PLAN I JUST
WOULD LIKE TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT
MORE ABOUT WHY UP TO THIS POINT
NONE OF THAT WAS CONSIDERED.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND I
APPRECIATE YOU KNOW THE BROAD-
CONCERNING PERSPECTIVE ABOUT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THIS WE HAVE BEEN
WORKING IN HAVE BEEN REACHING
OUT TO INTERESTED STAKEHOLDERS
AN AGENCY AS WELL- SINCE THE
INCEPTION OF THIS LAST ONE. THIS
WINTER- AND SO IT'S ONLY- AS OF
RECENT THAT WE'VE GOT MORE
SPECIFIC FEEDBACK AND- ACTUAL
AGREEMENT AND SOME SOME
CONSTRUCTIVE- ENGAGEMENT- THAT'S
GOING TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME
OF THESE FINAL POINTS OF THE
THIS A BILL OF COURSE HAS
DEVELOPED THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY
AS WELL. MAKING IT OVER HERE TO
THE SENATE AND SO I REALLY
REALLY APPRECIATE ON THE EVEN
MORE THOUGHTFUL- AND CLOSE STUDY
THAT COMMITTEE STAFF HAS BEEN
ABLE TO AFFORD TO GET ALL THESE
DETAILS RIGHT. AND KNOWING THAT
SOME OF THESE ARE IN MOTION YOU
KNOW WE'RE VERY HOPEFUL. TWO
THINGS ONE SHOULD THIS MOVE
FORWARD HERE TODAY I DO WANT TO
STAY AT THE OUTSET THAT IS MY
COMMITMENT TO WORK VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE CHAIR. ON THAT ANY.
FINAL MOMENTS THAT SHOULD
SATISFY THE SUBJECT AREAS THAT
ARE BEING WORKED ON RIGHT NOW
AND ALSO TO YOUR POINTS- WOULD
NOT- IT. WOULDN'T AT WERE THEY
NOT- ACCEPTABLE TO THE CHAIR YOU
KNOW THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE
BOUGHT UP FOR A VOTE OR I WOULD
CERTAINLY NOT REQUEST THAT THIS
WOULD BE BROUGHT UP FOR A VOTE
ON THE SENATE FLOOR- THAT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS AT
THE TIME BUT I THINK THAT WE-
WITH THE MOMENT AND IT'S THEIR
RIGHT NOW THAT WE CAN RESOLVE
SOME OF THESE SUBJECT AREAS- AND
HOW THAT WORKED OUT OVER THE
SUMMER RECESS I CAN APPRECIATE
THE CHAIRS WILLINGNESS TO HOW
THIS CONSIDERED FOR. DISCUSSION
HERE TODAY- TO YOUR QUESTION
ABOUT WHAT WHAT GOES INTO THE
PLAN- I THINK THERE ARE SOME.
GREAT IDEAS ABOUT THAT THE
COMING ALICE'S DEFINED TO THOSE
NINE POINTS YOU IDENTIFY THAT
REALLY. SORT OF MATCH THE BRETT
THAT WE WOULD WANT TO BE ABLE TO
SEE- RIGHT NOW WE ARE. WORKING
AND ASK OUR CYCLE TO- AT A VERY
HIGH LEVEL. REALLY TRY TO WORK
WITH INDUSTRY AND OTHERS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE. THAT-
LATITUDE TO BE ABLE TO- HAVE. A
PLAY. MACINNES THAT WILL BE ABLE
TO- BE APPROPRIATE FOR BOTH.
SMALL SINGLE FAMILY HOMEOWNERS
AS WELL AND THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES BUT ALSO. THE
LARGE SOLAR SCALE- BECAUSE-
MANUFACTURERS AND INSTALLERS AS
WELL. SORT TO DIFFERENT
DIFFERENT TRACKS THAT WERE ON
THERE RIGHT NOW I DO THINK THAT
THERE IS SOME CLARITY BEEN HAPPY
TO FURTHER CLARIFY AGAIN. WHO IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE PLANS-
BECAUSE- ON ONE HAND THE OWNERS
ARE GOING TO CONTRACT WITH
SOMEBODY'S ACTUALLY DOING THE
INSTALLATION AND SO WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE NOT NECESSARILY THE
MANUFACTURERS WHO COULD ACTUALLY
BE OUT OF STATE OR OUT OF
COUNTRY PRODUCING THOSE BUT-
THOSE THAT ARE INSTALLING THEM
SORT OF KNOW. WHERE THIS THING
IS GOING TO GO IN TEN OR TWENTY
YEARS OR MORE AT THE END OF ITS
LIFE- AND THEN FOR THE LARGE.
SCALE SOLAR- COMPANIES THAT THAT
BOTH OWN INSTALL LIKELY INSTALL
THEIR OWN FACILITIES- THEY WOULD
RESET RETAIN THEIR OWN
RESPONSIBILITY TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE THEIR SAY THAT A PLAN THAT
IS SPECIFIC TO THEIR- THEIR FOR
THEIR THEIR SITE AND THE SIZE
AND SCALE OF THEIR DEVELOPMENT-
WE TALK ABOUT ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISMS AND YOU'VE RESET AS
WELL ALREADY WITH ME. ON THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT CAL RECYCLE WE'RE
GIVING LIFE TO COME BACK WITH
US- KNOWING THAT THEY- HAVE
ALWAYS PROVIDED VERY SPITEFUL
WAYS OF. DEFINING WHAT THAT
IMPORTANT LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT
THE SCOPE OF AND THE PENALTY-
AND THE CONDITIONS ON THAT
PENALTY COULD LOOK LIKE- SO WE
WANT TO REALLY TAKE THEIR- YOUR
EXISTING EXPERTISE AND
EXPERIENCE THAT THEY DO FOR
OTHER KINDS OF SIMILAR PROGRAMS-
AND I LOOK FOR THAT FEEDBACK AS
WELL. FOLLOW UP AND TALK ABOUT
THE MONEY BY SO WE YOU SAY THAT
YOU MONEY FOR. WOULD BE RESPONSE
TO DEVELOP A PLAN. THE FAA FOR
THE TECH FOR THE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE. THURMOND OF OUR
DENTAL ANY HUNTER FOR C. OUT SO
NO IN THIS CASE THE PLAN WOULD
BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
OWNER OWN SO IN THIS CASE. SAY
IT'S- WHOEVER DEVELOPS SAY THE
LARGE SCALE SOLAR SYSTEM- FOR I
SELL SELLING TO A UTILITY- OUR
CCA. SO THE OWNER OF THE ASSET
WHO'D BE OPERATING THE ASSET
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN END
OF MY LIFE MANAGEMENT PLANTS
BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE THE ONES
THAT WILL BE- IN MOST CASES
WERE. RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DECOMMISSIONING PLAN AT THE END
OF THAT PROJECTS LIFE THAT'S
PART OF. USUALLY PART OF THEIR
PERMIT WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT. IT
WOULD BE A MANUFACTURED BE THE
OWNER IN THIS CASE SAY IT'S- EDF
RENEWABLES ARE EDP RENEWABLES
OR- WHOMEVER IS DEVELOPING THE
PROJECT. AND IS TAKEN OWNERSHIP
OF THE PANEL THANK YOU FOR
RESPOND TO MAYBE MISTER CHAIR
YOU CAN- CLARIFY FOR ME. I GOT
AN ANSWER WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR TO OVER DEVELOPING THE PLAN.
BUT MISTER CHAIR THE NOW THIS IS
STATES THAT THERE IS NO CLEAR
LANGUAGE TO STAY WHICH WAS GOING
TO DEVELOP THE PLAN SO WE GOT AN
ANSWER FROM ONE OF THE
WITNESSES. BUT THE NOTICES IT'S
UNCLEAR SO I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF
THERE IS CURRENT LANGUAGE THAT
STATES WERE YOU JUST MENTIONED
SO THE LANGUAGE IN THE BILL
CURRENTLY HOUSE CAL RECYCLE
WORKING WITH THE INDUSTRY. TO
DEVELOP GUIDELINES WE WOULD
PERCENT. I THINK IN IN THE WAY
THAT WE IN THE ENERGY SPACE I'M
TEND TO WORK AS UP RELYING ON
THE EXPERTS WITHIN THE
REGULATORY SPHERE TO SORT OF
HELP GUIDE. HOW THOSE THINGS
COME TOGETHER SO WE WERE
EXPECTING THAT THAT WOULD BE
PART OF THE GUIDELINES
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AT CAL
RECYCLE. I THINK WE'RE OPEN TO
THINKING THROUGH WHETHER THERE
NEEDS TO BE MORE MEAT ON THE
BONES. I THINK WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO BE VERY VERY CAREFUL DO NOT
PRESUPPOSE ANY OWNERSHIP MODEL
OR FINANCING MODEL BECAUSE THAT
IS PRETTY FLUID IN THE INDUSTRY.
OMINOUS LED TO ESSENTIALLY A
WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT WAYS
AND GET SOLAR CALIFORNIA. THANK
YOU. WELL AND I GOTTA SAY. I
WOULD HOPE THAT THE QUESTION OF
THE ULTIMATE RESPONSIBILITY
STILL VERY MUCH UP IN THE AIR I
UNDERSTAND WHY THE MANUFACTURERS
WOULD WANT IT TO BE ON THE ON
THE- ON THE AND THE CONSUMERS
BUT- IT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE
BEST WAY OF DOING IT- TO PUT ON
THEIR LAPS. IF I MAY SENATOR I
THINK THE CONCERN IS THAT YOU
KNOW SAY. SOMEBODY SELLS A PANEL
TO- A BET BIG DEVELOPER THEY
DON'T KNOW WHERE IT ENDS UP
RIGHT SO IF YOU'RE BUYING A-
WHOLE LOT OF PANELS. THAT COULD
BE DEPLOYED ANYWHERE AROUND THE
COUNTRY SURE THAT'S YOU KNOW
ESSENTIALLY RED CALIFORNIA TO
SAY TO THE OWNER. YOU'RE GOING
TO INSTALL. IT A SOLAR PANEL
SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA THIS IS
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. IF IT'S
GOING TO HIT. A ROOFTOP OF
PARKING LOT OR AFP. YOU KNOW
PLUG CERTAIN COUNTY OF YOU CAN
BE SEEN ABOUT PLASTIC WASTE
RIGHT AND YEAH WE'VE WE'VE MADE
THE PRODUCERS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE END USE EVEN THOUGH IT'S
FAR. HARDER TO TRACK DOWN. A
PIECE OF PLASTIC- OUT IN THE
ECONOMY SO. I HEAR YOU I KNOW
THIS CAN BE SUBJECT OF OUR
NEGOTIATIONS AND I HAVE A LOT OF
COMMENTS ABOUT THIS BILL BUT I
DO WANT TO HEAR FROM THE
MINISTER. WELL FIRST OFF I WANT
TO SAY. GOOD TO SEE YOU- AND I
SO WHAT'S THE HURRY I DO WENT
MEAN. I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE
AUTHOR THIS IS. THAT WE DO HERE
ALL TIMES THE PROCESS LIKE THIS
BILL. BEING CHANGED IT'S BEEN
COMPLETELY CHANGED SINCE.
RESERVOIRS I HAVE NO PROBLEM. I
WANT TO GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO
GO. I THINK WE ALL I DID A
BATTERY RECYCLING. QUESTION BILL
AND THEN BEEN FOLLOWED UP WITH
THE- MCB. ALAN FALL UP WITH A
BILL THAT. TO WHERE WE'RE GONNA
ABOUT RISK. WE DON'T REALLY HAVE
A LOT OF THESE COMING OFF LINE
THEY'RE STARTING TO THE TWENTY
YEAR ONES ARE PROBABLY THERE'S
PROBABLY SOME. BUT THOSE ARE.
WE'RE GONNA FOR IT WE'RE GOING
TO THOSE BECAUSE THERE'S NO
MONEY. FOR THOSE BUT- ANYWAY FOR
ME WHAT'S THE HURRY IS NUMBER
ONE- AND SO I ASKED THE CHAIR
THAT JUST. ON THE SIDE ALREADY
SAID BECAUSE CAL RECYCLE WON'T
TALK TO YOU I CAN'T HAVE A HARD
TIME. BELIEVING THAT WE'RE GONNA
GET THIS BILL OUT TODAY IT'S
GOING TO GOING TO LAW. RECITED
LAW IT IT'S REALLY NOT COOKED AS
WELL AS IT SHOULD BE SO WHAT SO.
MY QUESTION TO USE. WAS THIRTY
WHY CAN'T WE- WORK ON THIS AND
GET IT RIGHT BECAUSE THERE'S A
LOT OF MOVING PIECES IN YOUR
THAT. THEIR LAW DETAIL LEFT OUT
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
CENTER I THINK THAT- TO ONE WE
HAVE. A MOMENTUM RIGHT NOW THAT
WE HAVE THOSE THOSE THOSE
EXPERTS IN THE STAKEHOLDERS AT
THE TABLE RIGHT NOW THAT ARE
JUST NOW AND- JUST RECENTLY NOW
ENGAGED- ALTHOUGH. I WILL I WILL
A STATE ON THE RECORD THAT WE
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO. GET MORE
SPECIFIC FEEDBACK THE BILL HAS
IMPROVED SINCE ITS TIME. IN THE
ASSEMBLY BUT WE'VE TAKEN THE
FEEDBACK WITH ANSWERED THE
QUESTIONS WE'VE MADE THOSE
IMPROVEMENTS. AS WE HAVE
RECEIVED THAT SOME OF THAT
ENGAGEMENT RIGHT NOW. BUT THAT
THAT'S ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT I THINK
ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS ARE AT THE
TABLE THAT CAN REALLY SOLVE THIS
OVER THE COMING MONTHS RIGHT
NOW. AND AS YOU PROBABLY WELL
KNOW IF SOMETHING IS PAUSED. FOR
ANOTHER YEAR. THEN THEY'RE GONNA
GO TO PROBABLY WORK ON SOMETHING
ELSE RIGHT NOW IT'S ON THE FRONT
BURNER. AND I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE
TO CONTINUE THAT MOMENTUM AS
WELL. WE KNOW THE ISSUES THAT
NEED TO BE WORKED OUT RESOLVE
WITH EVERYBODY'S AGREEMENT- AND
SO I THINK THAT BY- A- COURTESY
TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS FOR
TODAY THAT WE CAN GET THERE BUT
IT'S- ALWAYS SUBJECT I'M NOT
GOING TO LAW- BUT FOR A FINAL
CONSIDERATION OF THESE ALL THESE
TESTS HAVE BEEN MET- I. WAS THE
URGENCY RIGHT NOW AND WHY NOT
DELAYED ANOTHER YEAR BECAUSE
CALIFORNIA IS LEADING THE NATION
IN PUMPING OUT. ADDITIONAL
PEAVEY ACTIVITY. AND TO BE ABLE
TO SEND THE SIGNAL TO. THE SOME
OF THE INSTALLERS THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE THE NEW FRAMEWORK TO
BE ABLE TO GO FORWARD IS GOING
TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE. YET
ANOTHER YEARS- YOU KNOW GROWTH-
ON THE NEAR TERM. OF WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO WITH. RECYCLING PLANS
AND MANAGEMENT PLANS- GOING FOR
AS WELL SO I THINK THAT THE- THE
ENERGY SO TO SPEAK IS- IS- IT IS
CURRENT- IN IN THE MOMENT. AND I
THINK THAT WE SHOULD- SHOULD WE
SHOULD CAPTURE THAT IN AND TRIES
TO SEE THAT MOMENT TO TRY TO GET
THIS RIGHT. OF COURSE- BUT ALSO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT- YOU
KNOW DELAYING ANOTHER. YEAR OF
PRODUCT THAT OTHERWISE YOU KNOW
WOULD NOT BE SUBJECT TO THE NEW
WORLD ORDER HERE LET THEM. I
MISS RUSSIA IF YOU KNOW MY
MISTER MEISTER WELL IT IF YOU
DON'T MIND LET. ME LET ME JUST
ONE I. G. I BEEN IN GIVE. YOU MY
PURSE. IS TO HOW THE THING ABOUT
THIS AND THEN WE'LL CAN GO BACK
TO THE DISK. OF WHAT EVERYONE
CAN CAN RAISES MANY CONCERNS AS
THEY LIKE AND IN FACT. IF YOU
DON'T BUY THE LIE. OF MOVING FOR
TODAY. YOU KNOW IF. IT'S
ACCEPTABLE TO ME TO HOLD THIS
BILL IN COMMITTEE I MEAN THAT
YOU KNOW I THINK WE WERE WE WERE
GOING BACK AND FORTH A LOT. OVER
THIS QUESTION. I MEAN I THINK
IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A- THIS IS AN
AREA EXTENDED PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY THAT I'VE BEEN
VERY INTERESTED IN FOR QUITE
SOMETIME. AND I GUESS IT'S WHY
I'M BOTH EXCITED ABOUT THE BILL
BUT ALSO A LITTLE TREPIDATION IS
BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT THERE'S-
A LOT OF OUTSTANDING ISSUES THEY
WERE ALL ARTICULATED IN THE- IN
THE ANALYSIS. HAVING GONE
THROUGH IT MYSELF I ALSO KNOW
HOW HARD IT CAN BE TO NEGOTIATE
WITH THE AGENCIES AND ALL THE
DIFFERENT PLAYERS- WITHOUT
DEADLINES. AND I SO AYE AYE- AYE
AYE. SO YOU HAVE. I LOVE MY
THOUGHT. OF GIVING THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THE OPPORTUNITY MOVES TO
CONTINUE WORKING ON IT. I'M WHAT
WAS WITH THAT IN MIND WITH WITH
WITH A COPY OUT OF COURSE THAT
THE BILL WOULD COME BACK TO YOU
Q. AT NOT JUST THE CHAIR BUT
WANT TO HAVE ALL THE MEMBERS-
FULLY APPRISED. ANNA FOLKS DON'T
FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH WHATEVER
FINAL PRODUCT TO COME UP WITH.
AND WE'RE WE'RE NOT GOING TO
MOVE THIS YEAR- AND- YOU HAVE
THERE SO MANY OUTSTANDING ISSUES
I MEAN I THINK SOME OF THEM WERE
TICKETED BY. BY SENTIMENTO ARE
YET THE QUESTION OF WHO WILL
DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT SOLAR
PANEL STEWARDSHIP PLANS. I'M
WHO'S AT THE HEART OF THEM RIGHT
I MEAN WITH. WITH SB FIFTY FOUR
IT WAS- YOU KNOW EVERYBODY'S AT
THE TABLE THERE'S
RESPONSIBILITY. WE ARE VERY MUCH
ON THE PRODUCER SIDE HOW WILL
THEY BE EVALUATED UPDATED WHERE
THE POLICY OBJECTIVES OF THESE
PLANS. HOW THE PLANS IN THEIR
VALUATION AND IMPLEMENTATION BE
FUNDED OF COURSE THE BIG ONE-
HOW THE BILL BE ENFORCED WHAT
GUARDRAILS WILL BE ADDED TO
PRIORITIZE. GREEN DESIGN AND
RECYCLING IN THE REUSE- THIS
COULD INCLUDE WARRANTIES AND
LABELING FOR ALL SOLAR SOLAR
PANELS IN A PLAN OR NOT. I'D SAY
THOSE ARE JUST SOME OF THEM THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE
RAISED IN THE AND ALICE'S. I'M I
KNOW YOU'RE THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT WORK. OUT WE GOT A LOT
OF FOLKS MINISTRY THEY'RE HAPPY
THAT'S GREAT AND THEY NEED TO BE
A REALLY IMPORTANT PART OF THIS
CONVERSATION BUT THERE'S ALSO. A
WHOLE SLEW OF IMPLEMENTATION.
AND AND FINDING QUESTIONS THAT-
YOU KNOW THEY MAY BE A THAT
DICK. THERE'S GOING TO BE PUSHED
BACK FROM CAL RECYCLE AS YOU
KNOW THERE ALREADY IS- THIS
COMMITTEES GOT OPINIONS THE
MEMBERS HAVE COMMITTEE EVAN
PINIONS. ON THERE'S A LOT OF
CONSUMER FACING ORGANISATIONS
INVOLVED A CONVERSATION IN AND
AS HE SEES HERE- THEY WERE VERY
INVOLVED WITH ALL. OF THE MAJOR
EXPENDITURES RESPONSIBILITY WHAT
WE'VE DONE BEFORE. BECAUSE WE
ALSO HAVE TO LEARN AS WE DID
WITH SB FIFTY FOUR FROM THE-
MISTAKES OF THE PAST THERE'S A
NUMBER OF U. P. R. PROGRAMS THAT
. THE STATE IS PAST THAT HAVE
BEEN INADEQUATE. WHY QUITE
FRANKLY WE DID NOT PUT A STRONG
ENOUGH. AND IT ACTUALLY WAS
ARGUABLY SET BACK. THE BROADER.
THAT THE THAT THE AUTHORS I HAD
HAD THEIR I THINK ORIGINALLY SET
OUT TO SOLVE- SO THAT'S ONE IS
ONE OF THE MANY MANY
SENSITIVITIES AT PLAY HERE. WITH
THIS BILL. I HAD MY THOUGHT
MEMBERS WAS- WE KNOW WITH THOSE
COB YACHTS WITH US HAVING
CONTROL OVER A YOU KNOW IT IN IN
WEIGHING IN ON. ON ON ON THE
NEGOTIATION UNDERSTANDING. THAT
THIS ISN'T GOING TO MOVE FORWARD
WITHOUT ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT
PLAYERS INCLUDING POWER CYCLE
SIGNING OFF. THAT WE GIVE THE
AUTHOR THE OPPORTUNITY SOME MORE
WORK. AND A NINE YES QUITE FRANK
I'M I WOULDN'T YOU KNOW. I THINK
THERE DEADLINES ARE IMPORTANT
FOR THE AGENCIES WHEN IT COMES
TO GETTING THEM TO RESPOND. I
AND TAKE BILL SERIOUSLY- THAT
BEING SAID. YOU KNOW THERE'S A
THERE'S ANOTHER ARGUMENT TO MADE
FOR HOLDING THE BILL IN
COMMITTEE TODAY- I. AM WILLING
TO LET THE DAUGHTER BEFORE TO
GIVE SOME OPPORTUNE TO WORK OVER
THE SUMMER- BUT- BUT ALL THE
ISSUES THAT YOU'VE RAISED SO FAR
IN THE COMMITTEE HEARING ARE ARE
VALID. AND EVANS GOT TO MAKE
THEIR OWN DECISION BUT- THAT'S
WHERE I'M COMING FROM SO I LOVE
TO GO BACK TO THE MEMBERS AND
YOU KNOW IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE
THE- CALL QUICK. YEAH MISTER ICE
CHECK. ALSO IF YOU READ THE
ANALYSIS IS NOT. GOING TO TAKE
EFFECT TILL TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT.
RIGHT SO. I MEAN. I PREPARED TO
COME TO EITHER THEY OFFER VOTE
NO BECAUSE I DON'T THINK IT'S
COOKED NUMBER ONE I THOUGHT WE I
WAS JUST GONNA GET ROLLED LIKE I
NORMALLY DO BUT- OBVIOUSLY. SOME
OTHER MEMBERS. HAVE SOME CONCERN
I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT RIGHT I
THINK THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE
REALLY DO NEED TO USE DO SOME
GOOD WORK AND THERE'S- THERE IS
AN OPPORTUNITY I THINK TO GET IT
RIGHT BUT I THINK THERE'S A LOT
OF THINGS THAT. YOU KNOW AND I.
IT'S HARD FOR ME BY THE FACT
THAT THE AGENCIES ARE GOING TO
WORK. BULL CRAP. WE KEEP WE RUN
A BILL WE GET IT DONE THEY GO DO
IT. AND IF THEY DON'T WE'LL COME
BACK AND- HAVE A HEARING AND
TALK WHY THEY'RE NOT TO GET IT
DONE SO. I MEAN. ANYWAY WE TELL
AGENCIES TO DO STUFF ALL THE
TIME. I MEAN AND QUITE FRANKLY
GIVE THEM TOO MUCH RAIN IN MY
OPINION SO. LOOK IF YOU GUYS
WANNA MOVE FORWARD WE CAN CALL
BACK- THAT'S UP TO YOU I'M GONNA
LAY OFF TODAY I THINK WE REALLY.
I THINK THIS IS AN AREA WHERE WE
REALLY NEED TO DO GOOD WORK.
COURSE ALL THE PROPONENTS READ
HERE BUT THEY'RE STILL THE
DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS OF HOW IT
ACTUALLY HAPPENS. AND ARE WE
GETTING ENOUGH. ARE WE GETTING
ARE WE WHAT'S WHAT'S THE
STRUCTURE LOOK LIKE WHAT ABOUT
THE- YOU KNOW WHAT'S- IN THESE
THINGS THAT WE HOW DO WE NEED TO
HANDLE THAT I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S- KIND OF ACHING
HERE TO. ACTUALLY LISTEN.
THERE'S NO QUESTION. TODAY MY
ONLY. WHAT WOULD GIVE ME COMFORT
WITH MY POSITION IS THAT IT WILL
NOT MOVE FORWARD. IF IT DOESN'T
GET COOKED. RIGHT SO WE WILL IT
WILL HAVE TO BE FULLY COOKED FOR
ITS IT FOR IT TO. FOR TO MOVE
FORWARD BUT- YOU KNOW ONCE
AGAIN. YOUR POINTS ARE WELL
TAKEN. SENTIMENTS ARE MISTER
CHART WOULD WE CONFIRMING A
HUNDRED PERCENT. IT WOULD COME
BACK YOU WOULD CALL IT YES IT
WOULD. IT ACTUALLY WILL COME
BACK. THAT THE CHALLENGE OF
COURSE ALWAYS IS WHEN YOU BRING
IT BACK. SO IF IT'S AYE EITHER
TO YOUR BILL WHICH IT WILL HAVE
MORE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
AMENDMENTS. IF IT DOES HAPPEN-
IF THIS SOMEHOW THEY'RE ABLE TO
STRIKE A MAJOR DEAL BY THE END
OF. THIS THIS YEAR. YEAH THIS
LEGISLATIVE YEAR- IT WOULD COME
BACK AND OF COURSE YOU CAN'T
TAKE A MOMENT TO COMMITTEE AT
THAT POINT I THINK THAT'S THE
REASON WHY. VERY ENGAGED YOU
KNOW IF THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE TO
A DEAL VERY ENGAGE DIALOGUE WITH
THE MEMBERS- I WOULD ESPECIALLY.
SAY THE THREE OF US GIVEN GIVEN
THE INTERESTED HERE- IS GOING TO
HAVE TO BE ABSOLUTE CRITICAL ON
THE PART OF THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE
IF HE'S GOING TO WANT TO HAVE A
CHANCE OF GETTING. GETTING A
POSITIVE VOTE OUT OF THE QUEUE.
YEAH RIGHT. SO HOW REPUBLICANS
GET THIS. OPTION IS. THEY SAY.
IT IF WE WILL HAVE A TO YOUR
BILL WILL COME BACK IN JANUARY
GET IT DONE AND THEN USUALLY WE
DOES. NOT HAVE THE JANUARY FOR
US BUT I THINK IT MIGHT HAPPEN
HERE. RIGHT I MEAN IT'S REALLY
SAD FIVE MONTHS I MEAN FROM
SEPTEMBER TO JANUARY FOR MONTHS.
RIGHT THE IDEA I LOOK IT'S A
TOUGH NEGOTIATION THERE HAVE TO
ENGAGE IN AND- YOU KNOW I DON'T
KNOW THAT ANYONE KNOWS WHETHER
THEY'LL BE ABLE TO LAND
SOMETHING SUBSTANTIVE- IT I MEAN
FROM MY PERSPECTIVE I WANTED TO
GIVE THE AUTHORED OPPORTUNITY TO
TAKE THE NEXT MONTH TO REALLY
DIG IN AND WORK HARD- BY THE
TIME BUT YOU KNOW. AS I SAY IT'S
UP TO THE COMMITTEE AND I
CERTAINLY WOULD RESPECT. A
DIFFERENT YOU KNOW. IF FOLKS ARE
NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THAT PLAN.
ON THE COMMITTEE THEN THAT'S
THAT'S FINE TOO. SO YEAH IT WHAT
WHY DON'T YOU WE DON'T QUORUM
YET WHICH IS MAYBE- OKAY BECAUSE
IT KIND OF PUMPS THE PENCIL
QUESTION WILL FURTHER. WOULD YOU
WANT TO GIVE US YOUR YOUR YOUR
LET LATEST AND GREATEST- PATCHES
TO WHY WE OUGHT TO GIVE ME THIS
OPPORTUNITY. AND WE'LL SEE WHERE
THINGS GO THIS MORNING THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- I THINK I'LL JUST-
REALLY ECHO THE COMMENTS HE MADE
AS WELL- I THINK THAT THERE IS
GOOD MOMENTUM OF ALL NECESSARY
STAKEHOLDERS THAT CAN HELP US TO
ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. I DEEPLY
APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE STAFFS-
HARD ANALYSIS ON THIS BECAUSE
THESE ARE. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
THAT- YOU KNOW WITHOUT SORT OF
SECOND HOUSE LEVEL OF DETAIL
THAT WE WANT TO AFFORD TO BE
ABLE TO. DEVELOP POLICY IN THE
MARCOS RESPONSIBLE MANNER- JUST
CAME TO LIGHT OVER THE LAST
MONTH ABOUT SPECIFICALLY WHAT WE
NEED TO MAKE THIS. THE BEST BILL
THEY SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY BASED
ON A LOT OF OUR PAST EXPERIENCE
DEVELOPING SIMILAR AREAS OF
LEGISLATION. SO ALL THE PIECES
ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US ALL THE
STAKE HOLDERS ARE. ACTIVELY
ENGAGED IN TRYING TO MAKE THIS
RIGHT I JUST DON'T WANT TO LOSE
THAT MOMENTUM- AND SO AGAIN- FOR
ANOTHER TIME TO- UNDERSCORE MY
COMMITMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
WILL STAY ENGAGED WITH THE CHAIR
AND ALL COMMITTEE MEMBERS- TO
MAKE SURE THAT THESE QUESTIONS
ARE SATISFIED WE HAVE THE MENU
OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE. WE ARE
ALL WE ARE WORKING ON IT WE WILL
GET THIS DONE- AND I WOULD JUST-
APPRECIATE ANY COURTESY TO BE
ABLE TO AFFORD TO BE ABLE TO GET
THAT DONE BECAUSE- OF THE
MOMENTUM IS FOR AND FRONT OF US
RIGHT NOW- IF IT DOESN'T GET
DONE. IT GETS HELD- BUT THAT'S
THIS IS HOW I SPENT MY SUMMER
RECESSES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ARE READY TO GO- FOR THAT FOR
THAT LAST- CONVERSATION- AND
WHAT RESPECTFULLY AT THE TIME
REQUEST RIVA. THANK YOU OKAY. SO
I THINK WHAT I'LL IS. WILL
MINIMUM FILLING CENTER CAN- ON.
A KNOW AND YOU DO THE SAME AS
WELL I'M- SHE HASN'T BEEN HERE.
THE WATCHING OKAY I'M- IF YOU
ARE YOU WILLING. TO MOVE THE
BILL UNDER THE TERMS THAT WE
WERE DISCUSSING. OR IT WILL.
WELL IT'S A LYSIS GOT WE'LL TALK
ABOUT IT WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT.
YEAH LIKE. FIRST WAS THE REST.
YEAH WITH LET'S HAVE HAVE JUST.
THE WE THE SUBSEQUENT FIRST IT
HAS THE- INTERVIEW WASTE
MANAGEMENT MEETING THEM HAVE
BEEN MEANS THAT TWENTY WASTE. OR
NO AMASS ARE A SPONSOR TO COME A
HERE AND CONFIRM THAT. GOOD
MORNING MR CHAIRMAN AND
COMMITTEE. MEMBERS WE HAVE BEEN
TALKING WITH OF YOUR TALK ABOUT
THE ELECTRONIC WASTE RECYCLERS
YES WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH
SEVERAL OF THEM- WE'RE- TALKING
MORE ABOUT WHAT'S IN TWELVE
THIRTY EIGHT WHICH IS SOME
RESTRICTIONS THEY HAVE AN ACTUAL
PROCESS THESE PANELS AND STATE.
LITERALLY MOVE MORE FOCUSED ON
THAT- THEY'RE THEY'RE VERY
RECEPTIVE OF THIS ESPECIALLY FOR
THE EXPANSION OF THE E. WASTE
PROGRAM BECAUSE THAT'S GONNA
ALLOW FUNDING TO START FLOWING
IN. TO GET THE DETAILS THE-
PANELS THAT ARE OF ORPHAN PANELS
THE ONES THAT ARE BEING LEFT HHW
FACILITIES LEFT OUT NOT ON THE
STREETS. THOSE THE ONES WITH NO
FUNDING THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS GONNA
WANNA PROCESS AND SO THAT'S
THAT'S WHERE THIS COMES IN IS IT
HELPS THAT FIRST PART OF THE
BILL CERTAINLY HELPS THAT PART
WHICH IS GET THE- GET THE MONEY
FLOWING FOR THOSE PANELS SO. YES
WE'VE BEEN TALKING WITH THAT
SOME OF THE WASTE. OFFICERS AND
THEN ALSO THOSE. I AS WELL THE A
LOT OF THE LINE. AND TRANSFER
ACTUALLY RECEIVE THESE THINGS OR
THEY WANT TO. THEIR CUSTOMERS
WANT TO RECEIVE THEM AND THEY
ACTUALLY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY
REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY WAY TO
TAKE A MINUTE. AND WHEN YOU'RE
WITH WHO AND I'M SORRY I'M
TACKLE THEM THE EXACT DIRECTOR
FOR THE CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS TO
ARTS COUNCIL. OKAY. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU AND LET ME JUST SAY ME
TO ADD TO THE COMPLICATION OF
YOUR NEGOTIATION THERE THERE IS
AN OPEN QUESTION OF WHO SHOULD
BE PAYING THAT FEE REGISTER THAT
PEAK ON THE CONSUMER- YOU KNOW
WHAT OR THE PRODUCER SO. YOU
KNOW THAT THERE WILL BE THERE
WILL BE A KIND OF A CONSUMER.
SIDE PUSHED BACK ON SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED
RIGHT NOW- AS PART OF THAT
NEGOTIATION. SO I JUST WANT TO
WARN YEAH NO I UNDERSTAND IS
THAT- AND ENFORCE THIS IS LIKE-
PRISCILLA MENTIONED THAT IT'S
ONLY 10215% OF THE ACTUAL STREAM
OUT THERE THAT WOULD BE SUBJECT
TO THE VISIBLE FEET. AND EXPENSE
OF THE U. S. PROGRAM THAT OTHER
SIGNIFICANT PORTION IS WHAT'S
LEFT UNDER THE PLANS. BECAUSE
IT'S THE IT'S THE- THE DELEON
THE PPA OWNED. BY PANELS NOT THE
CUSTOMER OWN OKAY. ALL RIGHT WHY
DON'T WE- THANK YOU THANK YOU SO
MEMBER- LET'S MOVE ON TO THE
NEXT BILL. THAT'S GOOD- BUT-
APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE. YOUR WORK ON THIS
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT I THINK THE
ONLY REASON WHY. QUITE FRANKLY.
YOU KNOW IF. I THE ONE THING I
CAN SAY I THINK WE ALL AGREE
THAT SOMETHING SUBSTANTIVE NEEDS
TO BE DONE IN THIS SPACE I MEAN
ALL THE E. WASTE ISSUES
ASSOCIATED WITH- THE ROLLOUT-
AND USE OF THESE PANELS. IS
SOMETHING THAT'S ON EVERYBODY'S
MIND WE ALL KNOW WHAT AN
IMPORTANT SOLUTION SOLAR AS- IT
HAS BEEN AND WILL BE TO OUR-
REACHING OUR CLIMATE GOALS AND
THAT INVOLVES. A LOT OF SOLAR
PANELS. AND THAT WE GOT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE WE'RE TAKING
CARE OF THESE PANELS IN A
RESPONSIBLE MANNER AND- AT THE
END OF. AT THE END OF LIFE SO-
THIS IS VITALLY IMPORTANT WORK
AND IF ANYTHING. WE WANNA MAKE
SURE IT'S DONE RIGHT. THANK YOU
I AGREE. TO AN APPROPRIATE YOUR
TIME THIS MORNING THANK YOU SO
EVER PRESENT OKAY. LET'S STEPS A
QUORUM AND THEN WILL CALL AS AS
AS A- AS WERE SUBSEQUENT ALASKA
ASSEMBLY RECALLING TO MAKE ITS
WAY TO THE DICE. THIRTY PLEASE
CALL THE COMMITTEE. RIGHT A ROLL
CALL SENATORS ALAN HERE. ALLEN
HERE GALA. HERE GALLEY HERE
AGAIN SAW. GONZALEZ WHO HER TALK
. MENJIVAR HERE. MENJIVAR HERE
WHEN. SKINNER. OKAY WE HAVE A-
LET'S NOW LET ASSEMBLY CONNELLY
PRESENT. I AM TOO THAT'S AB
NINETY NINE. THANK YOU CHAIR AND
MEMBERS GOOD MORNING. I WOULD
LIKE TO BEING BEGIN BY ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENTS INDICATED IN THE
ANALYSIS AND REALLY APPRECIATED-
THE THOUGHTFUL WORK THAT STAFF
AND- YOU. CHAIRED IN ON THIS
BILL AS WELL. THE IMPETUS FOR AB
NINETY NINE STEMS FROM THE WORK
IN NUMEROUS CITIES AND COUNTIES
HAVE DONE IN CURTAILING. THE USE
OF PESTICIDES THESE
JURISDICTIONS HAVE TAKEN ACTION
IN RESPONSE TO THE INCREASING
CONCERNS OVER THE HARMS OF
PESTICIDES TO HUMAN HEALTH
POLLINATORS AND WILDLIFE.
ACCORDING TO BEYOND PESTICIDES
TWENTY SIX OF THE TOP FORTY
PESTICIDES OR PARTS ARE
POSSIBLE- KNOWN CARCINOGENS AND
TWENTY FOUR HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO DISRUPT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
AMONG OTHER IMPACTS. WHILE GREAT
STRIDES ARE BEING MADE LOCALLY
CALTRANS CONTINUES TO USE
ROUNDUP AND OTHER PESTICIDES AS
OUR PRIMARY TOOL TO MANAGE
VEGETATION. K. SPEAKING CALTRANS
DOES HAVE A POLICY OF INTEGRATED
PEST MANAGEMENT OR IPM SINCE
NINETEEN NINETY TWO. YET THEY'VE
NOT MADE MEANINGFUL REDUCTION IN
THEIR PESTICIDE USE. AB NINETY
NINE SEEKS TO DECREASE PESTICIDE
USE A CALTRANS BY BRINGING THEIR
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT OPERATIONS
IN LINE WITH THE LOCALS.
SPECIFICALLY AB NINETY NINE
WOULD REQUIRE CALTRANS DEVELOP A
STATEWIDE IPM POLICY FOR USING
COUNTIES AND CITIES THAT HAVE
TAKEN. ACTION TO RESTRICT
PESTICIDE USE ADDITIONALLY AB
NINETY NINE REQUIRES CALTRANS TO
THE EXTENT FEASIBLE TO ABIDE BY
WHAT THE LOCALS HAVE ADOPTED IF
THAT LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
JURISDICTION HAS ADOPTED A
POLICY THAT IS MORE RESTRICTIVE.
THAN THE STATEWIDE POLICY
ADOPTED BY CALTRANS. FINALLY THE
BILL ALSO CONTAINS NUMEROUS
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR
CALTRANS TO ENSURE MAXIMUM.
ACTRESSES I REALLY REALLY
APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THIS
COMMITTEE AGAIN AND YOUR DEBT
DEDICATION TO THIS ISSUE. WITH
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OF THIS BILL IS PATTY MAIL A
PROTECTED PROTECT OUR WATER SAID
SAN MATTEO COUNTY AND JULIE ROYS
FOUNDER OF PESTICIDE FREE RUNNER
PARK AND A BOARD MEMBER OF
CINEMA SAVE AG SAFE SCHOOLS.
OKAY FOR YOU IN THIS IS. LET'S
SEE. AREA OKAY. HELLO AND THANK
YOU I'M PATTY MAY ALL FOUNDER
AND DIRECTOR OF PROTECT OUR
WATER SAID SAMMA TAIL COUNTY I'M
HONORED TO BE HERE TODAY. I'VE
BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE SINCE
NINETEEN NINETIES WITH A GROUP
OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT HAVE
NEED IT LEGISLATION. BAGS FOR IT
SINCE THEN AND FINALLY A
POTENTIAL BILL IS HERE. IN SAN
MATEO COUNTY WE HAVE THIRTY FOUR
WATERSHEDS ARE STATE HIGHWAYS
RUN THROUGH THOSE WATERSHEDS
WHERE CALTRANS BROADCAST SPRAYS
UP TO ELEVEN DIFFERENT TOXIC
CHEMICALS WE HAVE THEM LISTED ON
OUR WEBSITE. FROM THEIR OWN
RECORDS. LIKE ROUNDUP GLYPHOSATE
BASED PRODUCTS SOME OF THESE
EVEN HAVE WARNINGS THAT YOU
SHOULD NOT GO INTO THE AREA
TWENTY FOUR FORTY EIGHT HOURS
AFTER APPLICATIONS. WE STARTED
IN THE NINETEEN NINETIES AND
PESCADERO TOOK A COUNTY WIDE IN
TWO THOUSAND SIX IN TWO THOUSAND
TWELVE OR BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
PASSED RESOLUTION ENDING
BROADCAST SPRAYING OF PESTICIDES
ON COUNTY ROADS AND PARKS
THEY'VE BEEN MANAGING OUR ROADS
FINE WITHOUT THE BROADCAST
SPRING IN FACT. THEY'RE BETTER
MAINTAINED THAN EVER AND THERE
ARE MORE WILD FLOWERS AND NATIVE
PLANTS THAT HAVE COME BACK
BECAUSE THE SPRING KILLS
EVERYTHING IT'S TOO MUCH AND
IT'S UNNECESSARY. THERE ARE
OTHER COUNTIES THAT HAVE
ELIMINATED BROADCAST SPRING LIKE
MARIN ALAMEDA SANTA CLARA DEL
NORTE HUMBOLDT MENDOCINO
TRINITY'S SEMINOMA SAN FRANCISCO
MONTEREY SAN DIEGO AND OTHERS.
WE'RE STILL CONFIRMING YET
CALTRANS KEEP SPRING DESPITE OUR
PROTESTS FOR DECADES. THEIR
REASONS DON'T HOLD UP FOR US AND
DO NOT OVERRIDE THE SCIENCE OF
HOW DANGEROUS AND PERVASIVE
THESE CHEMICALS ARE TO THE
ENVIRONMENT AND TO OUR LIVES OUR
WATER SOURCES ARE ALONG THESE
ROADWAYS WE HAVE WELLS AND
CREEKS. AND THE CHEMICALS END UP
IN THEM BECAUSE THEY COME OFF
THE ROAD WASTE THEY RUN OFF
SHORE OIL MOVES IN CALIFORNIA AS
WE KNOW IT'S MOVES AND THAT'S
WHAT CARRIES THESE CHEMICALS
INTO WATERSHEDS. THE I WORKED
EXTENSIVELY WITH THE MID
PENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE
DISTRICT TO HELP THEM AND NEXT
TO THE COAST SIDE. AND I'VE BEEN
SHOCKED AT THEIR STANCE ON THIS
WE DON'T WANT TO SEE AB NINETY
NINE WEAKENED WE HAD A STRONG
LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR OUR WORK
FROM THERE GENERAL MANAGER.
STEVE AB WARS IN TWO THOUSAND
FIFTEEN TO OUR CALTRANS DISTRICT
FOUR DIRECTOR ASKING THEM. TO
ADOPT SIMILAR METHODS ALONG
STATE HIGHWAYS BORDERING
DISTRICT OPEN SPACE PRESERVES.
TWO DID THE DISTRICT MID PENN
COMPLETES THIS MAINTENANCE
ACTIVITIES SOLELY WITH
MECHANICAL MOWING WE SPOT
APPLICATION OF HERBICIDES ONLY.
HE CITES ALL THE REASONS WHY. TO
PROTECT THE HABITAT FOR OVER ONE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY SENSITIVE
PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES AND THE
PROTECTION OF THESE IS AT THE
CENTER OF THE DISTRICTS MISSION
. WE THINK THAT THEY SHOULD
FOLLOW THEIR MISSION TO PROTECT
AND PRESERVE ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY THREE OF OUR MIDDLE
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE SIGNED ON
SUPPORTING THIS BILL. WE THINK
IT'S TIME. TO PRIORITIZE
PROTECTING OUR HEALTH AND THE
ENVIRONMENT. AB NINETY NINE WILL
DO THIS I HOPE YOU WILL ALSO
TODAY WITH YOUR VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU- OTHER OTHER FOLKS ONE
OF WHEN SUPPORT EXPRESS THEIR
SUPPORT FOR THE BILL A. B.
NINETY NINE WE HAVE ONE MORE
WITH A WIN OR WIN IS OKAY GOTCHA
. ALL RIGHT PLEASE KEEP IT SHORT
BECAUSE OF YOUR LAST WEEK
DISTRICTS AND- THANK YOU. LOUD
TERRIFYING SCREAMS ECHOED
THROUGH THE HOME MY SON CRIED
OUT FOR HELP. I RUSHED TO THE
BATHROOM WHERE HE WAS IN A
ABSOLUTE STATE OF PANIC. I
PULLED BACK THE CURTAIN AND I
SAW HIS PAIN. FLAMING RED HIVES
COVERED HIS ENTIRE BODY. CHAIR
MEMBERS MY NAME IS JULIE RICE
AND I'M REPRESENTING THE HEALTHY
HIGHWAYS COALITION AND SNOW MUST
SAFE A SAFE SCHOOLS. OVER THE
YEARS I'VE LEARNED MY SON'S
PAINFUL PESTICIDE REACTION IS
NOT UNIQUE TO MY FAMILY. HOWEVER
I HAVE DISCOVERED IT DOESN'T
NEED TO BE THIS WAY. AB NINETY
NINE PROVIDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CURB CALTRANS EXCESSIVE GLACE OF
FATE IN OTHER PESTICIDE USE. IN
REGION ONE CALTRAIN HAS
DEMONSTRATED FOR OVER THIRTY
FOUR YEARS THAT ROAD SIDES CAN
BE MANAGED EFFECTIVELY WITH
MINIMAL OR NO HERBICIDE USE.
IT'S TIME TO EXTEND THIS
APPROACH TO OTHER REGIONS
ESPECIALLY TO THOSE AREAS THAT
HAVE ALREADY WORKED WITH THEIR
LOCAL OFFICIALS AND ELECTED. TO
DEVELOP I PM PEAS THAT ALIGN
WITH THEIR COMMUNITIES VALUES.
THIS IS THE BEAUTY OF AB NINETY
NINE AS IT APPLIES TO THOSE
COMMUNITIES. IN CINEMA COUNTY
WHERE I LIVE OUR GOVERNMENT HAS
SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED ROAD SIDES
WITH THIRTY TIMES FEWER
PESTICIDES PER ROAD MILE THEN
CALTRANS. THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS IN CINEMA NAPA MARIN
AND HUMBOLDT COUNTY'S
UNANIMOUSLY SUPPORT AB NINETY
NINE. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED
FIRST HAND HOW ACHIEVABLE THIS
TYPE OF PESTICIDE REDUCTION CAN
BE. I AM HERE REPRESENTING THESE
ORGANIZATIONS AND MEMBERS I AM
ONE OF THE LOCALS. THAT HAVE
WORKED HARD ON THESE BUT MOSTLY
I AM THE FACE AND VOICE OF THE
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN THAT NOT
ONLY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY
HARMFUL PESTICIDE USE BUT ALSO
WHO HAVE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
LIVING IN A COUNTY WHO HAS.
DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY ITS USE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME
. THANK YOU OTHER FOLKS WHO
WANNA. ADD SUPPORT FOR THE BILL
. I SAW YOU YESTERDAY. MY NAME
IS SUZANNE HUME I AM THE
EDUCATIONAL DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER

BEHALF OF THE MARIN COUNTY
COUNCIL OF MAYORS AND COUNCIL
MEMBERS IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU
ALL RIGHT- OPPOSITION WHO WANTS
TO RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL
. GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN WORST
TAYLOR RUSSIAN ON BEHALF OF
WESTERN PLANT HEALTH ASSOCIATION
I'LL BE SPEAKING ON BEHALF THE
COALITION TODAY- UNFORTUNATELY
WE'RE HERE IN OPPOSE POSITION WE
AGREE CONCEPTUALLY I WITH THE
AUTHORS EFFORT TO SPECIFY THAT
CALTRANS IMPLEMENTS AN EXERCISE
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT OR
IPM. IPM IS A SYSTEMS APPROACH
REQUIRING THE USER TO REVIEW OUR
THE ISSUE AND SELECT WHAT TOOL
OR SUITE OF TOOLS USES BACK IS
BEST USED IN PESTICIDES ARE A
PART OF IPM TOOL SET WHEN
NECESSARY. BUT RATHER THAN
FOLLOW IBM AS THE ANALYSIS JULIE
NOTES AB NINETY NINE GOES BEYOND
THE UC DEFINED AND ADOPTED
PRACTICE OF IPM BY PROHIBITING
THE USE OF PESTICIDES BOTH
ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL. WITH
VERY NARROW EXEMPTIONS IN HIGH
FIRE SEVERITY ZONES FOR DRESSING
INVASIVE PLANTS AND EVEN IN
THOSE TWO CIRCUMSTANCES ONLY IF
NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE HAS BEEN
PROVEN EFFECTIVE. WITH RESPECT
TO THE FIRST EXEMPTION. WE
SHOULD BE ALLOWED USING HIGH
FIRST EVER ZONES KNOW THESE
LOANS ARE NOT THE SOLE INDICATOR
OF WILDFIRE RISK. WITH THE
AMOUNTS OF LATE WINTER RAINFALL
THAT WE HAD NEW VEGETATIVE
GROWTH AND THE START OF A VERY
HOT SUMMER. AND THERE WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT NEW FUEL LOAD ALL
OVER THE STATE INCLUDING AND
AREAS THAT ARE NOT HISTORICAL
HISTORICALLY FIRE PRONE. I
WITHIN THOSE AREAS PESTICIDES
ACCORDING TO A. B. NINETY NINE
WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR USE
WHICH MAY LEAD CALTRANS TO USE.
LESS EFFECTIVE METHODS- THAT
COULD EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM
LIKE SPREADING WEED SEED. AT
REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT TREATMENTS
MORE QUICKNESS AND PUT MORE
CALTRANS EMPLOYEES AT RISK AND
IT ALREADY INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS
JOB. WHEN CONSIDERING THE RISKS
AND REALITIES. AB NINETY NINE
WOULD CONCEIVABLY RESTRICT THE
SAFER AND MORE SUSTAINABLE OF
IPM DICTATED APPROACH- IN THE
CIRCUMSTANCE. THE BILL ALSO
STATES THE PASSAGE CAN ONLY BE
IS WHEN THERE'S NO OTHER
ALTERNATIVE THAT'S BEEN PROVEN
EFFECTIVE WE HAVE SERIOUS
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT KIND OF
PROCESS. THAT WOULD OBLIGATE AND
WHO MAKES THAT DECISION IS IT
CALTRANS IS IT A LICENSED
APPLICATOR THAT'S APPLYING THE
PRODUCTS. IS THE DEPARTMENT SAID
REGULATION WE BELIEVE THAT
LICENSED AND TRAINED CALTRANS
CREWS IN THE FIELD SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO USE THEIR
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND
DISCRETION. TO SELECT THE BEST
AND MOST EFFECTIVE APPROACH.
ADDITIONALLY A BIT WHICH WHICH
MAY INCLUDE A NON CHEMICAL
APPROACH AND I SHOULD IN THOSE
CIRCUMSTANCES AB NINETY NINE.
ADDITIONALLY STATES THAT
CALTRANS WOULD FALL THIS POLICY
BUT MUST DEVIATE FROM THAT
POLICY. IF THE LOCAL
JURISDICTION HAS A MORE
RESTRICTIVE STANDARD CALIFORNIA
HAS FIFTY EIGHT COUNTIES OF FOUR
HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO CITIES AND WE
WOULD ASK. WHAT THAT PATCHWORK
APPROACH WOULD LOOK LIKE IN
TERMS OF IMPLEMENTATION. FINALLY
AB NINE NINE REQUIRES CALTRANS
PROVIDE TWENTY FOUR HOUR NOTICE
IN ADVANCE OF A PEST
APPLICATION. IDENTIFYING THE
LOCATION AND THE TIME OF THE
APPLICATION. WE WENT OVER THE
COMMITTEE THAT THE LEGISLATURE
GAVE THE DEPARTMENT HAS SAID
REGULATION LAST YEAR TEN MILLION
DOLLARS TO DEVELOP A STATEWIDE
PESTICIDE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM.
FOR THE PUBLIC A WE DON'T
BELIEVE THAT CREATING A
DUPLICATE OF THE SYSTEM AT
CALTRANS IS THE PROPER USE OF
LIMITED RESOURCES- OUR COALITION
IN AUTHORED DO WANT THE SAME
THING. WE WANT THE JUDICIARY
SINCE SAFE TO PASS MANAGED TOOLS
THAT THE LOWEST RISK OP. WHEN
THEY'RE BOUND WITH THEIR
EFFECTIVENESS TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITIES AND OUR ECOSYSTEMS.
UNFORTUNATELY WE BELIEVE AB NINE
NINE WOULD LEAVE CALTRANS AT A
MINIMUM WITH MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE
AND RESPONSIVE TOOLS TO DO THEIR
WORK AND SO. WHEN THE TIMES
APPROPRIATE WE WERE QUESTIONED
ABOUT THANK YOU. THANK YOU-
OTHER FOLKS WANNA RAISE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL EXPRESS

LET'S GO BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR QUESTIONS THOUGHTS COMMENTS
- CENTER GONZALEZ YEP THANK YOU
SO MUCH MISTER CHAIR AND THANK
YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER I KNOW THIS
WAS IN TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE
OR TAKING THE AMENDMENTS HERE- I
GUESS JUST IN THE PRACTICALITY
IN AND PRACTICAL SENSE- YOU'RE
TAKING A CAL FIRE AMENDMENTS IS
DISCUSSED AND THEN BECAUSE OF
THE I GUESS THE QUESTION I HAVE
IS IN TERMS OF IMPLEMENTATION I
THINK WHICH IS WHAT WE DISCUSSED
I THINK. WHAT I THINK ALL OF US
WANT TO ENSURE IS THAT THIS
ACTUALLY GETS IMPLEMENTED IN A
VERY STREAMLINED FASHION NOW
THAT THE LOCALS WILL HAVE TO BE
PROVIDING CALTRANS WITH THIS HOW
DO YOU SEE THAT IMPLEMENTATION
MOVING FORWARD SONO MEMORANDUM
DONE AND A GREAT JOB FOR MANY
YEARS. WITH HIS PLAN WHAT WHAT
DO YOU. C. AS THE NEXT STEP IN
TERMS OF IMPLEMENTATION NOW
PRITCHETT THE QUESTION AND IN
ANSWERING MAYBE I'LL PICK UP
SOME OF WHAT I HEARD IN THE
OPPOSITION AS WELL- WHICH WHICH
WAS KIND OF A NEW ARGUMENT WE'VE
BEEN AT THIS FOR ABOUT FIVE
HEARINGS NOW SO. APPRECIATE THE
ON GOING DIALOGUE- THE IPM
APPROACH IS NOT PIECEMEAL-
LOCALS HAVE HAVE ADOPTED VERY
SIMILAR APPROACHES IN LINE WITH
WHAT YOU SEE. HAS DINING AND IN
LINE WITH WHAT- WE ARE- ARE
TALKING ABOUT IMPLEMENTING HERE
. THERE WAS NO WERE THE TO ME
THAT THERE SEEM TO BE AND THAT
THE ISSUE WITH THE REQUIREMENT
THAT- YES- ARE. OTHER MEANS ARE
AVAILABLE AND THAT WOULD BE A
FACTOR OF. FIVE THIS WOULD
REQUIRE THOSE- EFFORTS TO BE
MADE AND REMEMBER I PM IS A
SUITE OF SOLUTIONS. IT'S NOT ANY
WANTED TO BE A COMBINATION. ALL
TO SAY POINT BLANK OUR GOAL HERE
IS TO REDUCE THE USE OF
PESTICIDES. AND IPM APPROACH.
THE ARGUMENT SEEMS TO BE THERE
AND- SHE MORE OR LESS CONCEDED
THERE COULD BE OTHER EFFECTIVE
MEANS BUT PESTICIDE USE COULD BE
MORE EFFECTIVE. AND CALTRANS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THAT WE
WANT TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT.
WHERE THERE'S AN ISSUE
APPARENTLY WITH THIS BILL IS IF
THE LOCALITY HAS ADOPTED A MORE
RESTRICTIVE APPROACH THE WAY
WERE SEEN THAT USUALLY IS THE
BANNING OF LIFE TO SAY. WHICH IS
AT THIS POINT IN THEIR OWN CARS
. OUR WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
HAS TO BE- SOME GIVE AND TAKE
WITH THE LOCALS AND CALTRANS
THAT'S WHY WE'RE PUTTING THE
BURDEN NOW ON THE LOCALS TO COME
FORWARD WITH THEIR PLANS. ARE TO
HAVE THAT DIALOGUE AND THEN
THERE WILL BE A DETERMINATION OF
WHETHER IT'S FEASIBLE. IN THAT
CIRCUMSTANCE FOR CALTRANS TO
MATCH THE MORE RESTRICTIVE
APPROACH ARM CALTRANS IS SHOWING
THAT IT CAN DO IT THIS IS
CURRENTLY IS THE CASE. AND
HUMBOLDT AND MENDOCINO COUNTIES
AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS RATHER
THAN SPRING LIFE TO SAY.
CALTRANS WORKS WITH THE
COMMUNITY AND- HAND POOLS
MORROW'S USES GOATS- USES NATIVE
PLANTS ALL THE OTHER VARIOUS
TOOLS THAT THEY HAVE. ARE WERE
HOPING THROUGH THIS THAT THEY
WOULD CONTINUE AND WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT COUNTIES
RIGHT NOW- A NUMBER OF CITIES.
AND REALLY JUST- TO HAVE A GOOD
SAFE RIO OUT FOR TO MOVE IN THIS
DIRECTION TOWARD IT A TRUE IBM
DIRECTION CALTRANS TECHNICALLY
DOES HAVE AN IBM THEY HAVE SINCE
NINETEEN NINETY TWO. IT'S JUST
NOT BEING IMPLEMENTED. OKAY IN
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS
- I GUESS MY QUESTION FOR YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IN ONE OF THE
THINGS WE'VE BEEN GOING BACK AND
FORTH ON AND WAS AND IS
DISCUSSED ON PAGE TEN OF THE
ANALYSIS. MINNOWS THIS QUESTION
OF. BUT WE WERE WE WERE ASKING
SO YOU'VE GOT YOU'VE GOT A LINE
HERE ON PAGE FOR THE BILL WHERE
YOU SAY THAT THIS KICK SAND
WHERE NO ALTERNATIVE VEGETATION
MANAGEMENT METHOD HAS BEEN
PROVEN EFFECTIVE. YOU KNOW WE
DID HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT
WHAT BUT ACTIVE AND SAFE. AND
WHAT WHAT IS IT WHAT'S WRONG
WITH ADDING IN A LINE ABOUT
SAFETY- FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE
BECAUSE IT I'M I'M I'M AGAIN I
THINK I DID DEAL WITH THE
EFFECTIVE POINT AND REALLY I
THANK YOU AGAIN WOULD YOU MEAN
WHEN YOU DOLLARS. WELL I JUST
TALKED I JUST ANSWERED A
QUESTION ON THAT SO- THE
ARGUMENT SEEMS TO BE EVEN IN THE
FACE OF OTHER EFFECTIVE MEANS.
SPRAYING OF PESTICIDES IN AND
THE OPPONENTS APPEAR TO BE MORE
EFFECTIVE. AND AS CALTRANS NEEDS
TO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT WE
WOULD ARGUE THAT'S THE WRONG
APPROACH DIED PM. THE POINT IS
TO GO WITH THE LEAST HARMFUL
MINUTES RIGHT NOT TO TASTE
AMENDMENT. SO YOU'RE RAISING A
LITTLE BIT OF A SEPARATE ISSUE
RIGHT AND SAFETY EXACTLY WHICH
IS THAT POINT I WAS SURPRISED
NOT TO HEAR ABOUT. THIS TIME
BECAUSE I'VE ADDRESS STATED
EVERY HEARING. NOT SPRAYING
CANCER CAUSING PESTICIDES WILL
CREATE MORE SAFETY FOR WORKERS.
THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE RIGHT
WHICH IS WHY I OKAY WHY WOULD
WHY WASN'T UNDERSTANDING WHY-
AND WHY THAT WAS PUSHED BACK ON
THE USE OF THAT WORD. GIVEN WHAT
YOU JUST SAID THE SERVER. D.
EFFORT WAYS TO KIND OF CREATE A
LEAD PAUL RIGHT AT THE TOP LINE
OF THE IPM POLICY AND THAT WAS
EFFECTIVE. SAFE AND FEASIBLE.
I'VE DEALT WITH THE EFFECTIVE IS
TO. FEASIBILITY IS WITHIN THE
BILL. THEY OUR APPROACH IS A
CALTRANS NEEDS TO MATCH A
LOCALITY IF IT'S FEASIBLE TO DO
SO AND THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT A
LOT OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES.
AROUND PARTICULAR- GEOGRAPHIC
ISSUES OR TOP TOPOGRAPHICAL
ISSUES AT CETERA. I'M WE BELIEVE
THE EFFORT. BY ONE OF THE
OPPONENTS TO PUT THAT AMENDMENT
FORWARD WAS TO WATER DOWN THE
BILL. FIVE DEAD IN A FACT- IT
WOULD CREATE A STATUS QUO
SITUATION. IN AN IPM APPROACH
SAFETY IS ALREADY BUILT AND
AGAIN I WOULD ARGUE IT CREATES
MORE SAFETY. BY WHEREVER
POSSIBLE USING THE LEAST HARMFUL
MEANS AND PARTICULARLY. AROUND
SITUATIONS WHERE A KNOWN
CARCINOGEN NAMELY TO LIVE TO SAY
IS BEING REDUCED- UNDER NIGHT PM
APPROACH YOU CAN USE A VARIETY
OF MEANS SO ARE I THINK WHAT WE
WERE PUSHING BACK ON IS- THAT IS
ALREADY THOSE FACTORS ARE
ALREADY IN THE BILL. AND TO JUST
ARE I THINK OFFER A WAY AROUND
KIND OF THE IPM APPROACH
INITIALLY- CREATED A LOOPHOLE.
WE DIDN'T WANT TO SEE IN THE
BILL. ALL RIGHT. YOU KNOW I-
WELL I MEAN OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE
GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF-
EFFECTIVE AND FEASIBLE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION OVER- THE EXTENT
TO WHICH THEY'RE WILLING TO-
THAT'S COMPLETELY HOW HAVE THIS
IMPOSE UPON COUNTED SIR- DRAFTED
AND YEAH. WE DEALT WITH SAFETY
AT EVERY HEARING THAT
INTERESTINGLY WAS NOT REYES
BUSINESS YOU TODAY BY THE NAME
ON IT BUT OKAY ALL RIGHT ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS

TO YOUR NAY BILL AB THIRTEEN
FORTY SEVEN. I THANK VICTIMS AT
YOUR FIRST MEETING Q. AND THE
COMMITTEE FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS
BILL I'M NOT HAPPILY ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENTS- THE COMMUNITY.
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS I A. B.
THIRTEEN FORTY SEVEN DOES A
COUPLE THINGS- THE FIRST IS
REQUIRE ALL BUSINESSES TO BAN
THE USE OF TOXIC CHEMICALS IN
RECEIPTS- STARTING IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR RECEIPTS CANNOT
HAVE- CONTAIN ANY BPA IS
STARTING IN TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
RECEIPTS CANNOT CONTAIN ANY
PERSONAL. AT THE SECOND
PROVISION IS. REQUIRED
BUSINESSES WITH OVER TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE TO
OFFER CONSUMERS A CHOICE BETWEEN
A RECEIPT AND NO RECEIPT. IF THE
CUSTOMER DOES NOT WANT A RECEIPT
THEN THEY WOULD NOT IN THE
BUSINESS CANNOT PRINT ONE I THIS
WHAT IF TAKE EFFECT IN TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE- THE BILL DOES NOT
BAN PAPER RECEIPTS MORE
DISSIDENT FRENCH ON ANY BUSINESS
ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE A PAPER
RECEIPT OR PROOF OF PURCHASE. IF
THEY REQUIRE ONE- THE BILL'S
NEEDED SIMPLY BECAUSE OF. REPORT
BY RITA MEREKA TALKS ABOUT
RECEIPT WASTERS NEARLY THREE
MILLION TREES. TEN BILLION
GALLONS OF WATER AND THREE
HUNDRED POUNDS OF WASTE
ANNUALLY. COMING FROM RECEIPTS
ALONE- THIS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
IS REALLY UNNECESSARY SPECIALLY
AS WE'VE REALLY MOVE TOWARD. A
NUMBER OF YVR SEATS AND NO
RECEIPTS ARE COMPANIES LIKE
TRADER JOE'S TJ MAX WHOLE FOODS
AND IN AND OUT ALREADY. ALREADY
HAVE REMOVED BPA FROM THAT FROM
. THOSE RECEIPTS. WE SHOULD ALL
THE HELP WITH THIS BILL RESPECT
YES FIVE ON A. B. THIRTEEN. SO
GREAT ALL RIGHT. I THE LET'S GO
TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO WIN
SUPPORT OF. AB THIRTEEN FORTY
SEVEN HERE WE GO. HE'S IN HERE.
CLEANERS FOR KIDS .ORG STRONG.
THANK YOU SUSAN. JUST SO WITNESS
YEAH DO WE DO WE WANT TO HELP
YOU WITH YOUR VENUE THAT'S OKAY
. A GOOD MORNING TURN MEMBERS A
NICKEL KERR WITH CAL AGAINST
WAY. WE ARE PROUD ACOSTA AB AT
THIRTEEN SEVEN WOULD ALLOW
CONSUMERS TO CHOOSE WHETHER OR
NOT TO RECEIVE A PAPER PROOF OF
PURCHASE. INCLUDING ALLOWING
BUSINESSES TO OFFER ELECTRONIC
PROOF OF PURCHASE OPTIONS.
RECEIPT PAPER PRODUCTION
UTILIZES MORE THAN THREE MILLION
TREES AND TEN BILLION GALLONS OF
WATER EVERY YEAR IN THE U. S.
AND THE PRODUCTION AND DISPOSAL
OF RECEIPT PAPER. OMITS THE
CARBON CLOVEN OF ALMOST HALF A
MILLION CARS ON THE ROAD. THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THIS PRODUCTION
CREATES UNNECESSARY WASTE ONE
SURVEY FOUND THAT AMERICANS
THREW AWAY OR LOST ABOUT HALF OF
THE PAPER RECEIPTS THEY
RECEIVED. EVEN THOSE THAT THEY
INTENDED. TO KEEP. PREVENTION IS
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WASTE
HIERARCHY MORE PROVIDE
PREFERABLE TO RECOVERY REUSE
RECYCLING AND FINALLY DISPOSAL.
ENVIRONMENTALLY AND ECONOMICALLY
CONSCIOUS BUSINESSES WHO'VE
IMPLEMENTED POINT OF PURCHASE
PROBLEMS PRESENTING CONSUMERS
WITH THESE OPTIONS AS CBS DID IN
EARLY TWENTY TWENTY TO.
UNDERSTAND THIS AND HAVE ALREADY
SEEN THE BENEFITS. CBS IS THE
LARGEST PHARMACY CHAIN IN THE U.
S. AND THIS MOVE ALONE SAVED
ABOUT EIGHTY SEVEN MILLION YARDS
OF RECEIPT PAPER. ENOUGH TO
CIRCLE THE GLOBE TWO TIMES.
FINALLY RECEIVE PAPER IS OFTEN
COATED WITH TOXIC ENDOCRINE
DISRUPTING CHEMICALS LIKE BPA BE
PS. IN ADDITION TO EXPOSING
RETAIL WORKERS AND CONSUMERS
WITH TO THESE CHEMICALS IF
RECYCLED THE TALKS A COATING ON
RECEIPTS CAN CONTAMINATE RECYCLE
PAPER PRODUCTS SUCH AS TOILET
PAPER AND FOOD PACKAGING. AB
THIRTEEN FORTY SEVEN WILL
REQUIRE PAPER RECEIPTS TO BE BPA
FREE AFTER JAN ONE TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR AND FREE OF OFFICE FINALS
AFTER JAN ONE TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE. THIS BILL WOULD SIMPLY
ALLOW CONSUMERS TO CHOOSE HOW
THEY RECEIVE A PERFECT. PURCHASE
REDUCING WASTE AND SAVING UP TO
RESOURCES FOR THESE REASONS WE
ARE TO SUPPORT THIS BILL THANK
YOU. GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH.

RIGHT ARE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
EASE CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL. IN
ORDER. THANK MORNING MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS AT MARGARET
PLEDGED IN HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA RETAILERS ASSOCIATION
YOU APPRECIATE HOW FAR THE BILL
HAS COME BUT WE REMAIN IN AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION.
WE WERE FOR THE BILL JUST BE
LIMITED TO ELIMINATING THAT
CHEMICALS IN RECEIPTS. OUR MAIN
CONCERN IS WHAT WE DON'T LIKE
THE NEW PENALTIES I MUST SAY BUT
OUR MAIN CONCERN REALLY RESTS
WITH THE NO RECEIPT OPTION. THIS
BODY LAST SESSION APPROVED THREE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN ITS
BUDGET TO FIGHT ORGANIZED RETAIL
CRIME THE FIRST PEOPLE WHO WILL
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DOVER SHE
OPTION ARE CRIMINALS WHO ARE.
STEALING THINGS FROM OUR STORES.
MORE MORE STORES UNFORTUNATELY
TODAY ARE ACTUALLY CHECKING
RECEIPTS AT THE EXIT TO. HELP
REDUCE ORGANIZED RETAIL CRIME IN
SO IF THERE'S A NO RECEIPT
OPTION THAT SIMPLY DOES NOT
WORK- I WOULD ALSO NOTE THAT.
THE AUTHORS CREATED AN UNLEVEL
PLAYING FIELD BY ESSENTIALLY
CARVING OUT COSTCO ANOTHER CLUB
STORES WHO REGULARLY CHECK
RECEIPTS AT THE DOOR IN ORDER TO
REDUCE THE AFT. AND SO HE DOES
RECOGNIZE THAT'S AN ISSUE IN
SOME PLACES BUT NOT OTHER RETAIL
LOCATIONS SO THAT IS STILL OUR
REMAINING CONCERN WITH THIS BILL
WE DO APPRECIATE WHERE HOW FAR
THE BILLS COME IT'S BEEN A MULTI
YEAR BATTLE WITH THE AUTHOR AND-
AND WE DO KNOW IT'S COMING FOR.
A LONG WAY BUT WE REMAIN OPPOSED
LESS AMENDED FOR THOSE REASONS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YES SIR.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS ABOUT
CERTAIN OF THE CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION WE DO
APPRECIATE THE MULTI YEAR.
DISCUSSION ON THE BILL AND- WE
ARE TRYING TO GET TO NEUTRAL WE
ARE NOT QUITE THERE YET AND IT'S
LARGELY FOCUSES ON THE ISSUE OF
WHEN A- CUSTOMER GUEST. SAYS
THAT THEY DO NOT WANT A RECEIPT
THEY CREATE SOME CHALLENGES FOR
US IN THE FULL SERVICE DINING
ENVIRONMENT YOU CAN IMAGINE WHEN
SOMEONE COMES TO CLOSE OUT THE
BILL IF A GUEST SAYS THEY DON'T
WANT A RECEIPT. IT MAKES THINGS
DIFFICULT FOR US TO FINALIZE THE
TRANSACTION AND LESS WE ARE
FORCED. TO BUY THE CERTAIN POINT
OF SALE SYSTEMS AND TECHNOLOGY
THAT OFFER A ALTERNATIVE TO THAT
AND SO THAT IN SOME APPLE
ORDERING. ISSUES AND NUANCES-
CONTINUE TO. GIVE US GREAT
CHALLENGE WITH SOME OF THE
PROVISIONS BUT- THE BILL HAS
MOVED IN A LOT OF GREAT
DIRECTIONS AND WE APPRECIATE
THAT AND WE HOPE WE CAN GET
THESE OTHER ISSUES RESOLVED.

DIGRESS THE EDUCATORS SCHOOL
SCHOOL WERE MEMBER OF RECEIPTS
ARE IMPORTANT IN CASE SOMEBODY
NEEDS TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR
FOR EXPENSES ALSO IF YOU'RE
AUDITED BY THE IRS YOU NEED TO
SHOW RECEIPTS SO I THINK
RECEIPTS ARE IMPORTANT I WOULD
AGREE WITH THE TOXIC PIECE OF IT
BUT PEOPLE NEED SOME SORT OF-
RECEIVE THANK YOU THANK YOU. I'M
WELL LET'S START WITH WHAT HOW
WOULD YOU RESPOND TO THE
GENTLEMAN'S CONCERN YOU JUST
RACES HOWEVER- THAT THAT THIS IS
A CONSUMER CHOICE OF SOMEONE
NEED TO RECEIVE TO GET A RECEIPT
. YEAH THERE THERE IS NO BAN ON
RECEIPT IN THIS BILL RIGHT OKAY
ALL RIGHT TO COULD YOU GIVE US
YOUR SENSE OF HOW THINGS ARE
GOING WITH THE OPPOSITION
CERTAINLY THERE YOU KNOW WHAT
WE'RE HEARING A LOT OF PROGRESS
HAVING BEEN MADE I MEAN I THINK
THE CORE CONCERNS REALLY COME
DOWN TO THE PRACTICE LA THE
PRACTICALITIES SUCH AS HE WAS
RUNNING. THEIR OPERATIONS- I AND
SOME OF IT WE RECEIVED YOU'VE
GIVEN A SPECIAL DISPENSATION TO.
YOU KNOW COMPANIES THAT
PROACTIVELY CHECK. THE RECEIPTS
ON THE WAY OUT WHAT ABOUT
EVERYBODY ELSE. ON SOME OF THE
FACT ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED BY
MS GLAD STEAM THAT LOVE TO GET
YOUR- REACTION LET ME JUST OR
CRIMINALS CRIMINALS DON'T ASK
FOR RECEIPTS THEY TAKE THINGS
AND THEY LEAVE THE STORE- SO THE
RECEIPTS ABSOLUTELY. DO NOT THEY
DON'T THEY DON'T GET ONLINE. PAY
FOR SOME THINGS AND NOT PAY FOR
OTHERS THEY- THEY GO INTO A
STORE THEY WALK OUT. I THINK
SHE'S MORE AFRAID TO FOLKS THAT
MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN
WHAT THEY BOUGHT FOR IT MY GUESS
IS THAT THE- THAT'S HOW
CRIMINALS WORK I MEAN IF YOU'RE
GONNA GO YOU KNOW SAY HEY I'M A
PAPERBACK OF GUM AND- BY THE
WEBER STEALS. STUFF SO. IF YOU
IF YOU LOOK AT TROUBLES GOING
AND THEY THINGS AND THEY LEAVE
THEY DON'T TRY PAY FOR TAX CUTS
THAT'S WHY. TO IN TERMS OF- CUTS
. RETAILERS CHECKING RECEIPTS-
YOU HAVE VERY VERY FEW RETAILERS
CHECK RECEIPTS THE LAST TIME I
HAD TO PROCEED CHECKED WAS WHEN
I WAS IN COSCO. WE TALKED ABOUT
THAT ISSUE- AB PERHAPS THERE ARE
MORE RETAILERS STARTING TO CHECK
RECEIPTS BUT THIS POINT- LAST
NUMBER OF. FREQUENT SHOPPER AT A
VARIETY OF RETAIL LOCATIONS YOU
KNOW BOTH HERE AS WELL AS IN MY
HOME CITY- AND I CAN'T RECALL
THE LAST TIME. A COMPANY OR
RETAILER CHECK MY RECEIPT- IN
TERMS OF THE RESTAURANT
ASSOCIATION WE APPRECIATE THEIR
FEEDBACK WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE
TO. KEEP TALKING TO THEM. ONE OF
THE MAJOR CHANGES WITH THE BILL
WE STARTED WITH. ORIGINALLY E.
RECEIPT. NO RECEIPT OR PAPER
RECEIPTS- AND NOW WE'RE WE'RE
JUST SORT OF- YES AND NO ON THE-
RECEIPT- BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
SOME ESTABLISHMENTS ALREADY
HAVE. THAT OPTION OF NO WRIST ST
NO RECEIPT WE DON'T WANT TO
FORCE. COMPANIES THAT ALREADY.
GIVE PEOPLE THE OPTION OF NO
RECEIPT TO FORCE THEM TO DO AND
THE RECEIPT- IN THE COURSE OF
THE DOING THE RECEIPT THAT'S-
ADDED IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT'S REQUIRED IN THE BILL BUT
CONTINUED TO BE. ADDED SO AGAIN
I THINK WE FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT
WHERE THE DISCUSSIONS ARE WITH
THE- RECEIPT AND AGAIN. THE LET.
AND WE TOOK A VERY BIG AMENDMENT
IN ASSEMBLY PRIVACY. SO WE'RE
REALLY TALKING ABOUT ONLY
BUSINESSES THAT ARE TWENTY THAT
GET REVENUES OF TWENTY FIVE
MILLION IN ABOUT. SO YOU'RE
TALKING VERY- YOU KNOW REALLY
VERY SIZEABLE BUSINESSES. SO
THAT'S A VERY HIGH. REVENUE
THRESHOLD. OKAY ARE QUESTIONS
FROM THE MEMBERS. THOUGHTS. YEAH
I MEAN I JUST HOPE THAT YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY. I THINK EVERYBODY IN
THIS COMMITTEES VERY- INTERESTED
IN WASTE REDUCTION IT'S BEEN.
PART OF OUR WORK FOR QUITE SOME
TIME I'M YOU KNOW I DO THINK
THERE. I MEAN I MEAN I'M GLAD
THAT WE'RE NOW GETTING TO THE
POINT WHERE THE DISCUSSION
REALLY IS ABOUT. HOW YOUR BILL
MELDS WITH THE BUSINESS
PRACTICES AND HOW WE MAKE THIS
ACTUALLY FEASIBLE FOR OUR
RESTAURANTS AND OUR- GROCERS AND
OTHER RETAILERS- AND YOU KNOW I
MEAN I GUESS I WOULD- WHAT HOW
DO YOU SO I KNOW THE OTHER BILLS
NOW SECOND HOUSE. YOU KNOW. DO
YOU SEE HOW YOU SEE THE
CONVERSATIONS GOING OVER THE
NEXT MONTH LOOK I'M NOT
RESTAURANTS AND OTHERS- UNLIKE
YOU KNOW THE FOR THE EARLIER
DISCUSSION YOU HAD WITH- YOU
KNOW OUR COLLEAGUES BILL THAT
DOES THIS BILL IS PRETTY MUCH
JUST ABOUT DONE I THINK WE'RE
FINALIZING- A COUPLE-
MODIFICATIONS MINOR
MODIFICATIONS WITH DIFFERENT
INDUSTRY CONCERNS. BUT IN
GENERAL I THINK WHEN YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT BUSINESSES THAT
ARE TWENTY FIVE MILLION ABOVE
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A YOU KNOW
RECEIPT NO RECEIPT- AGAIN IT'S
QUITE OFTEN THAT PEOPLE ASK ME.
IF I WANT A RECEIPT OR NOT I SAY
NO BUT THEY STILL PRINT OUT THE
RECEIPT AND THROWN AWAY AGAIN
THAT DOESN'T HELP THE WAY STREAM
THAT THAT IS. ADDITIONAL WAYS TO
DOESN'T REALLY NEED TO OCCUR-
AND SO I THINK SOME MODIFICATION
OF BUSINESS PRACTICES I THINK
THESE ARE ALL VERY- VERY VERY
DOABLE- PRACTICES THE- THE
INDUSTRY'S ALREADY SAID THAT
THEY ARE MOVING AWAY FROM THE
TOXIC CHEMICALS WHICH IS A GREAT
I THINK A MAJOR MAJOR STEP- BUT
I THINK AT THIS POINT WE ARE.
YOU KNOW. VERY VERY CLOSE TO
BEING DONE OKAY JUST WITH THAT
WITH IRAQ IT CASE YOU'RE FROM.
IN THE RESTAURANTS ASSOCIATION
WE WOULD NEED. WHAT WHAT'S- YOU
MADE SOME ABOUT HOW. IS A JAM UP
THE BIG COULD POTENTIALLY UP A
COW. EATERS CARE ONE ABOUT
UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE- SURE
MISTER CHAIRMAN. OUR ISSUES
AREN'T SO MUCH IT THE ACCOUNT
PROCEED WELL I GUESS THEY ARE IN
A SENSE. THE FULL SERVICE
RESTAURANT AND IT MAY BE AN
ISSUE OF WHAT CONSTITUTES A
RECEIPT- IN A FULL SERVICE
RESTAURANT WHEN YOU PRESENTED
WITH YOUR BILL FOR INSTANCE IS
THAT A RECEIPT IS THAT WHERE THE
CONSUMER HAS THE OPTION TO SAY
YES OR NO TO THAT. THAT'S BEEN
BROUGHT UP BY OUR FULL SERVICE
MEMBERS- AND SO THAT'S THAT'S
ONE ISSUE AND I THINK THAT IT'S
PROBABLY SOMETHING WE CAN
CONTINUE TO WORK ON WITH THE
AUTHOR. OF THE OTHER ISSUE IS
YOU KNOW. WITH THE- APP BASED
ORDERING LOTS OF RESTAURANTS AND
FOOD SERVICE PLACES WHETHER IT'S
MENDOCINO FARMS ARE YOU NAME IT.
YOU KNOW YOU WALK IN AND YOU
PICK UP A BAG. THE RECEIPT IS
THE IDENTIFIER THAT'S ON THE BAG
THAT HAS YOUR NAME YOUR ORDER IN
THOSE THINGS. SO IT'S THOSE
NUANCES THAT I THINK- YOU KNOW
OUR WORKABLE. BUT THOSE ARE
THOSE ARE NUANCES BUT THEY'RE
THEY'RE BIG HEADACHES FOR OUR
MEMBERS. YEAH YES I MEAN I WOULD
PRESUME YOU YOU KNOW I
UNDERSTAND YOUR THE BILL IS
ALMOST THERE BUT BUT BUT- I
WOULD HOPE THAT YOU DO. YEAH WE
DON'T BAN. PIECES OF PAPER
IDENTIFYING PEOPLE'S RIGHTS
ORDERS RIGHT. I MEAN THE BILL'S
PRETTY. SPECIFIC BUT THAT TERMS
OF WINDOWS NINETY FIVE. YEAH
WHAT HAPPENED TO IT YET HE'S
PAPER WILL HAVE THE TRANSACTION
ON IT AND MANY MINDS THAT IS A
RECEIPT SO THAT'S THAT'S SORT OF
THE- CONFUSION THAT. OUR MEMBERS
ARE FACING. YEAH I'M I'M MORE
HAPPY TO. HOW FOR THE DISCUSSION
FOR ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATION IF
THE SUBSTATION HAS LANGUAGE THEY
WANTED TO. I THINK IN THE PAST
THE ITS ASSOCIATIONS WILL COME
TO US WITH THE EXEMPTION
LANGUAGE NOT WITH FINE TUNING.
SO AGAIN HAPPY TO. TAKE ANY
LANGUAGE THAT THEY WANT TO
PRESENT TO US THAT WOULD ADDRESS
THEIR ISSUE BUT AGAIN. THE BILL
DOES NOT BAN PIECES OF PAPER
IDENTIFYING THINGS. SO YEAH I
WOULD I JUST WOULD HOPE THAT WE
COULD GET YOU KNOW THIS
RESOLVED. YOU KNOW WITH WITH A
REASONABLE MANNER IN THAT YOU
KNOW. WHAT ONCE AGAIN. HAPPY TO
YEAH. OKAY SO WE'LL BE
MONITORING THAT COVERS- OVER THE
COURSE OF THE MONTH DID YOU WANT
TO FINALIZE AND- I APPRECIATE
ATTENTION TO THE ISSUE THANK
OKAY THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. I'M
DOING MOTION FROM IN THE MEMBERS
OKAY SO- THANK YOU AB. THANKS
FOR THAT. THAT DISCUSSION- MOVED
BY SENTIMENTS OF OUR LET'S GIVE
THE OPPORTUNITY CLOSE. ADJUST
AGAIN PUSH IT ALL THE WORK THAT
THIS COMMITTEES DOWN ON E.
WASTE. ON JUST- WASTE IN GENERAL
REALLY APPRECIATE- DATA SYSTEMS
WITH THIS BILL RESPECTFULLY ASK
RIVAL ON A. B. THIRTEEN FORTY
SEVEN GREAT ALL RIGHT I'D
SECRETARY PLEASE CALL. AB
THIRTEEN FORTY SIX. THE MOST IS
DUE PASSED AS A MAN. AND RE
REFER TO THE CAN ON A- SENATORS
ALLEN I. ALLEN AYE DOLLY.
GONZALES GONZALES I HER TADO.
MENJIVAR MENJIVAR I'D WIN.
SKINNER. THAT'S THREE ZERO
THAT'S ON CALL OKAY AND THEN IS
ONE FINAL BILL- THIS IS AB
SIXTEEN THIRTY THREE YES. BUT
FIRST LET ME JUST THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THE ALSO
THE COMMITTEE ON THE WORK ON AB
SIXTEEN THIRTY THREE WOULD
APPRECIATE- YOUR DISCUSSIONS IN
YOUR THOUGHTS WERE HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS- THAT ATTY
SEVEN YOUR SON SAID IN A LINE
THE DEFINITION OF. INFILL WITH A
B. FOURTEEN. FORTY NINE A. B.
SIXTEEN THIRTY THREE TO
STRENGTHENS THE HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT THE HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT WAS DESIGNED.
TO ENSURE THAT LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
DON'T OVERSTEP THEIR AUTHORITY
AND STOP VERY CRITICALLY NEEDED
HOUSING WE HAD A EXAMPLE OF THAT
SITUATION IN MY- CITY WHERE A-
PARKING LOT TO USE AS A VALET
PARKING LOT FOR NORDSTROM'S
WHICH HAVE BEEN A GREAT SITE FOR
HOUSING- WAS DELAYED DELAYED
DELAYED AND EVENTUALLY- AFTER.
THE GOVERNOR STEPPED IN. CHANGE
IN THE HOUSING DOESN'T LOOK LIKE
IT'S GOING TO GET BUILT ANYTIME
IN THE NEAR FUTURE- THE BILL
DOES NOT COME TOUCH THE SEQUEL
IT ALSO CREATES A REMEDY FOR.
DEVELOPERS AND OFFERS A TIMELINE
FOR DEVELOPERS SHOULD- SHOULD
THEY NEED IT OR ARE AWAITING-
LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE APPROVAL I
THINK ONE VERY VERY CRITICAL
PIECE OF THIS. IS THAT- LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS- WOULD HAVE TO
FOLLOW THE EXEMPTIONS THAT WE AS
A LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR
HAVE SIGNED INTO LAW. I THINK
IT'S A VERY VERY CRITICAL PIECE
WE- WE BELIEVE THAT OFTENTIMES-
THERE'S A CONCERN THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS WENT IGNORE-
HAVEN'T ALWAYS BEEN- AS QUICK TO
FOLLOW THE EXEMPTIONS THAT WE
HAVE PASSED- TO THIS LEGISLATIVE
BODY. AND- THIS IS ALL ABOUT
ENSURING THAT THERE ARE
GUARDRAILS- WE DON'T ANTICIPATE
I KNOW THERE'S BEEN A CONCERN IN
THE PAST ABOUT LITIGATION AND
ADDITIONAL PORT FEES- AND- THEN
DIE AB SIXTEEN THIRTY THREE
ALLOWS A COURT. TO WAIVE COURT
FEES TO THE LOCAL AGENCY ACTED
IN GOOD FAITH AND HAD REASONABLE
CAUSE TO REQUIRE MORE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. SO WE
BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL STRIKES
BALLOTS WITH RETREAT RETAINING
LOCAL CONTROL BUT AGAIN
STRENGTHENING- A LAW THAT HAS
BEEN ON THE BOOKS FOR A LONG
TIME TO ENSURE THAT LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS DON'T OVERSTEP THEIR
POWER. AS WE NEED- CRITICALLY
ACCREDITED THAT'S WE NEED
HOUSING THAT'S VERY CRITICAL TO
OUR STATE TO BE APPROVED. OKAY
I'VE WITH. WE DO YES OKAY THIS
IS. MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
MICHELENA SPUR A PUBLIC POLICY
THINK TANK IN THE SAN FRANCISCO
BAY AREA. AB SIXTEEN THIRTY
THREE DOES NOT TOUCH THE SEQUEL
STATUTE INCLUDING THE TIME LINES
NOR TRUNCATE THE PROCESS OF
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. THE BILL
HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CRAFTED TO
ENSURE THE STATUTE FUNCTIONS AS
INTENDED FOR DENSE INFILL
HOUSING ON CLIMATE EFFICIENT
SITES. PROTECTED UNDER THE
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT AN
ACT. STRENGTHENED SIGNIFICANTLY
OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS TO
ADDRESS OUR HOUSING CRISIS.
FURTHER THE BILL DOES NOT CREATE
A NEW SEQUEL EXEMPTION. IN FACT
THE PLAINTEXT EXPLICITLY STATES
THE MEASURE SHALL NOT BE
CONSTRUED TO REQUIRE LOCAL
AGENCY TO APPROVE AN EXEMPTION
FOR A PROJECT THAT IS NOT EXEMPT
UNDER SEQUENCE. AB SIXTEEN
THIRTY THREE MAINTAINS AND
PROTECTS THE DEFERENCE AFFORDED
TO LEAD AGENCIES CONDUCTING THE
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. HOW WE
WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL
GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES IN
DRAFTING THE LANGUAGE. IF THERE
IS SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE IN THE
RECORD TO SUPPORT A FAIR
ARGUMENT THAT FURTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY IS INDEED
NECESSARY. THE LOCAL AGENCY IS
PRESUMED TO BE ACTING IN GOOD
FAITH. THE BILL IS NARROWLY
TARGETED TO THOSE JURISDICTIONS
AND ACTIONS THAT ABUSE SECRET TO
AVOID RUNNING AFOUL OF THE
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT. AND
DELAY A PROJECT APPROVAL
INDEFINITELY. BY REFUSING TO
CERTIFY LEGALLY COMPLETE
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTS. A. B.
SIXTEEN THIRTY THREE ENSURES A
SECRET PURPOSE AND INTENT ARE
HONORED. TO PROTECT HUMAN HEALTH
AND THE ENVIRONMENT. AND NOT AS
A POLITICAL TOOL TO SLOW OR KILL
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND
FILL HOUSING DEVELOPMENT WE
RESPECT YOUR QUESTION I VOTE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
THE SERVER. MORNING MIKE STARES
THE CALIFORNIA HOUSING
PARTNERSHIP WE ADVOCATE ON
BEHALF OF INCREASING THE STOCK
OF AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING.
RENTAL HOUSING IS
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY YET
VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO EVEN THE
THREAT OF SEQUEL LITIGATION BY
PROJECT OPPONENTS WHETHER THEY
ARE. MOTIVATED BY AMENDMENT MY
MENTAL REASONS OR ANY OTHER- FOR
THAT REASON THIS LEGISLATURE HAS
CREATED A NUMBER OF SEQUENCE
EMPTIONS. BUT THE FOR AFFORDABLE
HOUSING YET THEY ARE ONLY AS
GOOD AS THE PAPER THAT THEY ARE
WRITTEN ON IF A LOCAL GOVERNMENT
CAN CHOOSE TO IGNORE THEM. BY
CLARIFYING THAT- WINNIE WINNIE
DENIAL OF A SEQUEL EXEMPTION
VIOLATES THE HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT. THIS BILL
CREATES SOME BADLY NEEDED
CERTAINTY FOR THE DEVELOPERS OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO THAT WE
CAN INCREASE THE STOCK. OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO THOSE LOW
INCOME FAMILIES WHO NEED IT MOST
IN THE STATE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU. OTHER FOLK WANT
TO WIN SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING

DIFFICULT- I SIT HERE IN
SUPPORT- JUST COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
OF A. B. FOURTEEN FORTY NINE
WITH A MY VERY SAME HOUSING
ADVOCATE FRIENDS THAT I'M NOW ON
THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS ISSUE
WITH UNFORTUNATELY TODAY. WE
APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS WE THINK THAT THEY
ARE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS AND
TARGETING. THE BILL- BUT WE
STILL RESPECTFULLY
FUNDAMENTALLY. OBJECT TO THE
POLICY IN PRINCIPLE. THERE IS AN
INHERENT CONFLICT BETWEEN THE
HOUSING ACCOUNTABILITY ACT IN
SEQUENCE AND WE ARE VERY
INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT WAYS
TO RESOLVE THAT CONFLICT- BUT WE
BELIEVE THIS. WE FEEL THE TIP
THE SCALES OF LEVERAGE FAR TOO
HEAVILY. IN TOWARDS THE- HOUSING
ACCOUNTABILITY ACT AT AND THE
DEVELOPERS PUTTING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS INTO UNTENABLE
SITUATION AND UNDERCUTTING
COMMUNITY VOICE IN THE PROCESS.
THERE ARE AN INFINITE NUMBER OF
SCENARIOS WHERE DEPENDING ON THE
SPECIFIC CONDITIONS FOR PROJECT
YOU KNOW IT COULD WARRANT
FURTHER REVIEW. EVEN WHEN I
PROJECT OTHERWISE MEETS LETTER
OF THE LAW THAT TO QUALIFY FOR
AN EXEMPTION OR A NEGATIVE
DECLARATION. THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT MUST BE ALLOWED TO
CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THIS
DETERMINATION. BUT BY MAKING
THAT DECISION TO DEMAND FURTHER
REVIEW. A POTENTIAL VIOLATION
UNDER THE H. A. THE STATE WOULD
BE EXPOSING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
LITIGATION EVEN WHEN. THEY'RE
TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
DEVELOPERS WILL HAVE EVERY
INCENTIVE TO SUE EVERY TIME THEY
DON'T GET THEIR WAY. AND IN TURN
GOVERNMENT'S. IN IN FEAR OF THAT
WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO
PREMATURELY. I APPROVED PROJECT
EVEN WENT FURTHER REVIEW
MITIGATION IS WARRANTED. SO WE
FEAR THAT THIS WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN FAR MORE PROJECTS.
BEING APPROVED WITH UNMITIGATED
IMPACTS RATHER THAN THE NUMBER
OF GOOD PROJECTS AT WORK WE'RE
TRYING TO HELP ACCELERATE. SO WE
DON'T THROUGH THE BABY OUT WITH
THE BATHWATER. WE RESPECTFULLY
URGE AND HAVE A- THANK YOU. ALL

ENVIRONMENTALLY BENEFICIAL CAN
YOU JUST RESPOND TO THAT AND
WHAT YOUR TAKE IS YEAH THIS IS
MY SECOND YEAR RUNNING THE BILL
AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT
WE HAVE RECEIVED OPPOSITION FROM
THE BUDGET COMMUTERS THEY HAVE A
REQUESTED MEETING SO WE'RE HAPPY
TO. SIT DOWN AND TALK TO THEM WE
HE THE ORIGINAL BILL ALREADY HAS
DEFINITIONS AROUND THE SCOPE- SO
NOBODY IS LIMITING. THE THE
SCOPE OF THE LEGISLATION WHICH I
AM. LOOKING FOR RIGHT HERE.
DELTA PROJECTS THEY HAVE TO BE A
HERBICIDES URBANIZED ZONE. THEY
HAVE TO HAVE MINUTEMAN DENSITY
REQUIREMENTS OF FIFTEEN UNITS
PER ACRE AND THEY ALSO MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS FOR AN EXEMPTION OR
HAS GONE THROUGH LEGALLY
SUFFICIENT ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW.
SO WE HAVE- THAT'S BEEN A
STANDING DEFINITION THE LAST TWO
YEARS AGAIN THIS IS THE FIRST
TIME WE'VE RECEIVED ANY.
DISCUSSION OR OPPOSITION- IN OUR
FROM THE- MORE TALK ABOUT
PROJECTS THAT ARE THAT ARE.
ELIGIBLE FOR EXAMS RATES TO

MORE TIME TO DO ADDITIONAL. THIS
MAY THIS IS. BEFORE WERE EVEN A
FOR OUR- ON THE PART. DEVELOPERS
DON'T SPEND THEIR TIME IN COURT.
LITIGATE TAKES- AND DOLLARS AWAY
FROM A PROJECT THEY WANTED TO
COMPLETE SO THERE AND THEY'RE
ACTUALLY WORKING WITH THE LEAD
AGENCY. THROUGH THAT ENTIRE
PROCESS OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEWS ARE NO SIR WE DON'T
CHANGE ANY OF THAT WE JUST
CREATED SOME SAFEGUARDS AND
TRANSPARENCY FOR THOSE BAD
ACTORS JURISDICTIONS. AND IT'S
REALLY NICE NAY- NARROWLY
TAILORED I WANT TO DEVELOP WHEN
THE- JURISDICTION CANNOT PROVIDE
THAT SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE FOR
WHY. ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
STUDY IS NEEDED. BUT I WAS I
MEAN. IT YOU KNOW WITH. BE
SOMETHING IF IT DOES PASS. YOU
KNOW DIEM IT'LL IT'LL CREATE NEW
IMPLICATIONS AS A WE KNEW
EXEMPTIONS IF THAT THOSE ARE
BEING CONSIDERED IN THE FUTURE
SO IT'S BECAUSE I THINK

WATCH IT CAREFULLY- TELL. ANYWAY

GONZALEZ. I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO
YOU ON BEHALF OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GABRIEL WAS OUT SICK. AND SENT
HIS REGRETS THAT HE CANNOT BE
HERE TODAY. I CAN NO I CAN
DEFINITELY NOT DO IT JUSTICE
I'VE HEARD IS PRESENTATION IS
PHENOMENAL- SO PLEASE EXCUSE ME
NOT GETTING TO THAT LEVEL. AB
FOUR EIGHTEEN IS A COMMONSENSE
FOOD SAFETY MEASURE THAT WOULD
BAN FIVE HARMFUL CHEMICALS THAT
ARE ROUTINELY ADDED TO PROCESSED
FOODS IN THE UNITED STATES. EACH
OF THESE CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN
LINKED BY WERE DOCUMENTED
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO
SIGNIFICANT HEALTH HARMS
INCLUDING CANCER REPRODUCTIVE
HARM IN BEHAVIOR AND
DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES IN
CHILDREN. THESE FIVE CHEMICALS
ALREADY BANNED IN THE TWENTY
SEVEN NATIONS IN THE EUROPEAN
UNION. AND MANY ARE BAD IN OTHER
JURISDICTIONS LIKE CANADA UK
AUSTRALIA NEW ZEALAND CHINA
JAPAN THE SRI LANKA AND SO MANY
OTHERS. AND IT'S NOT JUST OTHER
COUNTRIES THAT HAVE TAKEN ACTION
TO PROTECT CONSUMERS AND IN MANY
OF THE MOST ICONIC AMERICAN
COMPANIES HAVE VOLUNTARILY
STOPPED USING THESE CHEMICALS
BECAUSE OF CONCERNS. ABOUT THE
HEALTH IMPACTS THIS INCLUDES
MAJOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE MANY
FACTORS LIKE COKE PEPSI PAPA
JOHNS AND CONDONE IT'S BEEN
THERE AND SO MANY MORE.
UNFORTUNATELY THE US FAR BEHIND
THE REST OF THE WORLD IN FOOD
SAFETY DUE TO THE MAJOR
WEAKNESSES IN THE FDA APPROVAL
AND OVERSIGHT PROCESS.
SHOCKINGLY NEARLY 99% OF NEW
FOOD ADDITIVES NEVER RECEIVE
INDEPENDENT MEANING FOR REVIEW
BY THE FDA DUE TO THE MAJOR
LOOPHOLE KNOWN AS GRASS. OR
GENERALLY RECOGNIZED AS SAFE.
THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED FOR
COMMON HOUSEHOLD ITEMS LIKE
MEDICAL INSURER MOREOVER. UNLIKE
OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES THE FDA
ALMOST NEVER RE REVIEWS THE
SAFETY OF CHEMICAL ADDITIVES
MANY THAT MANY CHEMICALS WERE
LAST REVIEWED DECADES AGO. NOW
HAVE NOT BEEN CAN BE CONSIDERED
DESPITE SIGNIFICANT NEW EVIDENCE
OF HEALTH HARMS. WHAT ARE THE
BEST EXAMPLES OF THE FAILURE OF
FTA PROCESSES RED DYE THREE.
WHICH HAS BEEN BANNED BY THE FDA
IN BECAUSE MEDIC SINCE NINETEEN
NINETY. BUT THE SOMEHOW STILL
LADEN FOOD. IT DOESN'T TAKE UP.
IN R. BALA TO RELY THAT THIS
MAKES APPS NO SENSE SO IT'S NOT
SAFE FOR US TO PUT ON A FACE BUT
IT'S SAFE FOR US TO INGEST. IN
JUST APPARENTLY. TO BE CLEAR AB
FOURTEEN WHEN ABOUT ANY
PARTICULAR FOODS YOUR SKILLS ARE
SAFE OR RESULT ANY PRODUCTS
COMING OFF THE SHELF IT WAS
SIMPLY REQUIRE FOOD COMPANIES.
TO MAKE THE SAME MINOR
MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR RECIPES
THAT I'VE ALREADY BEEN IN EUROPE
MADE IN EUROPE. AND SO MANY
OTHER PLACES AROUND THE GLOBE.
ADDITIONALLY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
GABRIEL HAS BEING ENGAGE IN
CONSTRUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS WITH
OPPOSITION SINCE THE FIRST
INTRODUCES BELL. AND RECENTLY
ADDED TO AN AGREEMENT. RECENTLY
AGREED TO AN AGREEMENT THAT
WOULD DELAY THE EMPLOYER
IMMINENT IMPLEMENTATION DATE TO
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN TO GIVE
MANUFACTURERS. AMPLE TIME TO
ADJUST THEIR SUPPLY CHAINS AND
SELL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY ON THE SHELF. THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IS ALSO PROUD
THAT THIS BILL IS SUPPORTED BY A
BROAD AND DIVERSE COALITION OF
HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSUMER PROTECTION. PUBLIC
HEALTH AND CANCER PREVENTION
GROUPS AS WELL AS MANY OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS DEVOTED TO
PROTECTING CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SINCE IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR
ME TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR
POTENTIAL QUESTIONS I'M HERE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
IS MELANIE. BENESCH WHO IS THE
VICE PRESIDENT OF GOVERNMENT
AFFAIRS FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP. AND DR HOMER
STEWART THE SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT OF HEALTHY LIVING.
SCIENCE FOR THEM ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING. GROUP TO PROVIDE
TESTIMONY. GREAT YOUR FROM THEM
. GOOD MORNING. I THINK SO MUCH
FOR THE- TO TESTIFY TODAY IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF AB FOUR
EIGHTEEN. ON BEHALF OF U. W. G.
A CO SPONSOR OF THE BILL MY NAME
IS MELANIE BANISH I AM THE VICE
PRESIDENT FOR GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
AT U. W. G. AND ON A PERSONAL
NOTE. I AM ALSO EXPECTING MY
FIRST CHILD AND I AM ALARMED. BY
THE PREVALENCE OF HARMFUL
CHEMICALS IN FOOD AND THE LACK
OF REGULATORY OVERSIGHT BY THE
EPA- BY THE FDA. I AM AN EXPERT
IN EVEN I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO
MAKE GOOD CHOICES WHEN IT COMES
TO OUR FOOD FOR ME AND MY
GROWING FAMILY. THE FDA PROCESS
FOR ADDRESSING RISKS FROM FOOD
CHEMICALS IS DEEPLY BROKEN.
TODAY NEARLY NINETY NINE
PERCENT. OF FOOD CHEMICALS ARE
ASSESSED FOR SAFETY BY FOOD AND
CHEMICAL COMPANIES. NOT THE FDA
. IF CHEMICALS ARE FDA APPROVED
THE FDA DOES NOT HAVE TO RE
REVIEW THEM EVEN WE KNEW I KNEW
EVEN WHEN NEW SCIENCE IDENTIFIES
SERIOUS HARMS. AS A RESULT MANY
CHEMICALS HAVE NOT BEEN
MEANINGFULLY ASSESS FOR SAFETY
FOR DECADES. THE FIVE CHEMICALS
COVERED BY AB FOR EIGHTEEN HAVE
BEEN BANNED IN NEARLY ALL FOODS
SOLD IN EUROPE'S TWENTY SEVEN
NATIONS AND MANY OTHER NATIONS
AROUND THE WORLD. THESE HARMFUL
CHEMICAL EXPOSURES ARE ALSO
COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. COST
EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVES FOR THESE
CHEMICALS ARE USED BY BRANDS TO
SELL FEVER VERSIONS OF THEIR
PRODUCTS IN EUROPE'S. THAT LOOK
AND TASTE NEARLY IDENTICAL TO
THEIR AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS.
MAJOR COMPANIES LIKE PAPA JOHN'S
DUNKIN DONUTS. AND PEPSI HAVE
VOLUNTARILY PHASED OUT THESE
CHEMICALS IN MILLIONS OF
AMERICANS CONTINUE TO ENJOY THE
PRODUCTS EVERY DAY. THIS
EXPERIENCE SHOWS THAT YOU CAN
HAVE THE FOOD THAT YOU LOVE
WITHOUT THE CHEMICALS THAT YOU
HATE. UNFORTUNATELY WE CAN'T
COUNT ON THE FDA TO TAKE THE
ACTION NEEDED TO PROTECT
CONSUMERS. THE FDA REGULARLY MRS
STATUTORY DEADLINES TO RESPOND
FOOD CHEMICAL PETITIONS. SOME
PETITIONS HAVE BEEN UNDER REVIEW
BY THE FDA SINCE NINETEEN NINETY
MAKING THOSE PETITIONS OLDER
THAN MANY OF MY COWORKERS. THE
FDA ALSO RECENTLY CONCEDED
SIGNIFICANT WEAKNESSES IN ITS
FOOD PROGRAM AND IGNORE WHICH IS
THAT IT NEEDS SIGNIFICANT NEW
RESOURCES. CHANGES IN LEADERSHIP
STRUCTURE IN ORDER TO MAKE A IN
ORDER TO ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE
WRIST FROM FOOD CHEMICALS IN OUR
IN OUR FOOD SYSTEM TODAY. I URGE
YOU TO VOTE I ON AB FOR
EIGHTEEN. TO MAKE CALIFORNIANS
AND AMERICANS SAFER AND I AM
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE ABOUT FDA'S
REGULATIONS THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU- YES SIR. HUNTER. MY
NAME'S HOMER SWAY I AM THE
SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF HEALTH
FOR THE SCIENCE OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP. I
WOULD BE S. AND CHEMICALS. AND-
FROM ABUSE FROM UC BERKELEY AND
A PHD FROM A CHEMICAL JERRY ALL
FROM NORTH. UNIVERSITY I JOIN
EWG AFTER SPENDING THIRTY YEARS
IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR WITH
COMPANIES SUCH AS JOHNSON AND
JOHNSON AND ALCHEMICAL SO I HAVE
A DETAILED UNDERSTANDING OF HOW
EXACTLY CHEMICAL COMPANIES
INDUSTRY APPROACH ISSUES. THAT
WILL BE DISCUSSING TODAY. TAKING
A STEP BACK I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE FIVE
CHEMICALS REFERENCE OF AB FOUR
ONE EIGHT OUR INDUSTRIAL
CHEMICALS. CHEMICALS ARE
ROUTINELY USED IN PRODUCTS LIKE
PAINT CERAMICS PAPER RUBBER
TEXTILES AND INDEX. OR PUT
DIFFERENTLY THESE ARE NON
ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS I DO NOT
NEED TO BE. AND EWG STRONGLY
BELIEVES SHOULD NOT BE IN OUR
FOODS. VERTICALLY AND FOODS
MARKETED TO CHILDREN.
ADDITIONALLY IT WITH THIRTY
YEARS EXPERIENCE WORKING FOR
INDUSTRY I CAN. SAY WITH
CERTAINTY THAT THERE ARE READILY
AVAILABLE SAFE ALTERNATIVES FOR
THESE CHEMICALS ALREADY IN THE
MARKET PLACE. IN FACT INDUSTRY
ALREADY KNOWS HOW EXACTLY WHAT
THOSE SAFER ALTERNATIVES ARE
THEY DON'T NEED TO DO ADDITIONAL
RESEARCH INVESTIGATION. BECAUSE
THEY ARE ALREADY USING SAFER
ALTERNATIVES TO EUROPE AND OTHER
COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD.
FINALLY I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS
BEEN A CONVERSATION. AROUND THE
USE OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE IN DAIRY
PRODUCTS. AS YOU CONSIDER
ARGUMENTS FROM THE OPPOSITION
IT'S IMPORTANT UNDERSTAND THAT
ONLY POINT SIX LESS THAN ONE
PERCENT. OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
INCLUDE IN THE US INCLUDE
TITANIUM DIOXIDE. MAJOR BRANDS
SUCH AS LUCERNE ORGANICS ORGANIC
SPELL YOU CORNER LACTAID YOPLAIT
GIOVANNI ACTIVIA FACE AND SIGGY
SIGNIA ARE MADE WITHOUT TO TAME
DIOXIDE. AS ARE ALL DAIRY
PRODUCTS SOLD IN EUROPE. IN
SHORT THERE IS WELL DOCUMENTED
SCIENCE. SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
THAT THESE FIVE CHEMICALS CAUSE
HARM. IT'S WHY SO MANY NATIONS
AND MAJOR COMPANIES HAVE STOPPED
USING THEM. IT'S WELL PAST TIME
THAT CALIFORNIA DOES THE SAME.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY TODAY AND I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WE ALSO
HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF HAVING-
DOCTOR RUSHDIE'S JOKELA KERR IN
THE AUDIENCE TODAY PHD
TOXICOLOGIST. SHE IS THE SCIENCE
DIRECTOR FOR UCF SF AND ALSO
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL RIGHT.
LET'S- LET'S HEAR FROM OTHER
FOLKS ONE WAY IT'S JUST BECAUSE

SUPPORT OF THIS BILL AND I'M
ALSO HAPPY TO HELP YOU ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THAT COME UP THANK
YOU THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. LET'S
GIVE FOLKS THE OPPORTUNITY TO.
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. AS
CONCERNS. HEY DENNIS. GOOD
MORNING DENNIS I'LL BE ON THE ON
BEHALF OF THE CONSUMER BRANDS
ASSOCIATIONS CAN USE ME FOR
THAT- AND ALSO A COALITION OF
DISTRIBUTORS RETAILERS FOOD AND
A FOOD AND BEVERAGE
MANUFACTURERS. YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY FOOD SAFETY IS
PARAMOUNT TO OUR- CLIENTS AND
MEMBERS AND WE TAKE THIS VERY
SERIOUSLY IN FACT UNITED STATES
HAS A VERY STRONG YOU KNOW- OUR
HISTORY OF FOOD SAFETY AND
CALIFORNIA HAS A PROGRAM FOOD
SAFETY YOU KNOW TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THAT TODAY- WE HAVE
PROGRAMS THAT THAT REVIEW THESE
INCLUDING. TWO OF THESE
CHEMICALS ARE BEING CURRENTLY
REVIEWED AT A PETITION BY SOME
OF THE PROPONENTS OF THE BILL.
DEPARTMENT PUBLIC HEALTH WE ALSO
PROGRAMS APPROX SIXTY FIVE WHICH
WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE IN THE
ANALYSIS AND- THE THAT TAKE CARE
OF THIS A REQUIRE. EITHER
WARNING LABELS FOR THOSE IF THEY
COME TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF
EXPOSURE THE THAT CREATE HEALTH
ISSUES SO WE DO HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH. SYSTEM IN
BOTH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL OF THE FDA.
IT ALL FIVE OF THESE ADDITIVES
HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY REVIEWED BY
THE FEDERAL AND STATE SYSTEMS
AND MANY INTERNATIONAL BODIES.
EVEN IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND I
WANNA MAKE THE START WHEN
REVIEWED BY THE EUROPEAN FOOD
SAFETY AUTHORITY THEY
RECOMMENDED THAT THERE THAT THE
. POLITICIANS TAKE NO ACTION.
YOU'RE NOT SIGNED ACTIONS
HOWEVER THE P. BODY IN THE E. U.
IGNORED THEIR OWN SCIENTISTS AND
MOVE FORWARD. THIS BILL IS A
POLITICAL ACTION AND IGNORES THE
SCIENTIFIC PROCESS. AND IF WE DO
THIS WE'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE
SCIENTISTS IN THE E. U. WE'RE
NOT FOLLOWING THE SCIENTIST IT
FTA AND THEY'LL WE'RE FOLLOWING
THE POLITICAL. ACTIONS OF THE E.
U. US SEVERAL STE IN FACT
SEVERAL SUBS OF THIS BILL. TO
BAN. ARE ALREADY UNDER REVIEW AS
WE MENTIONED IN NOVEMBER IN
OCTOBER TWO DIFFERENT. OF
PETITIONS WERE STARTED AT FTA.
AND IT IS TO GET INITIATED BY
MANY OF THESE ORGANIZATIONS FTA
ON THEIR OWN NOT EVEN WITH THE
PETITION. LAST MONTH RECOGNIZE
THE PVO STARTED A REGULATORY
PROCESS TO REMOVE BBO FROM THE
MARKET. AGAIN UP THEIR THEIR
ACTIVITIES ARE CURRY- WHEN WE
APPROPRIATE- UP. THEN WHEN
APPROPRIATE IS SUPPORTED BY PEER
REVIEW SCIENTIFIC EVALUATIONS
THE FDA WILL THEN EITHER REQUIRE
WARNING LABELS THE REMOVED FROM
THE MARKET OR THEY MAY FIND OUT

BUT I'M SURE THAT THE S.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IS LISTENING
SINCE HE'S CALLED IN AND IT'S SO
GREAT THAT HE DID THAT I JUST
WANT TO THANK HIM SO VERY MUCH
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL WORK. THE
MOM OF THREE I CERTAINLY
UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS VERY
IMPORTANT SO- WITH THAT SENATOR-
WILL ALLOW YOU TO CLOSE THANK
YOU MA'AM TURN I WOULDN'T KNOW
YOU KNOW. TO SOME OF THE REMARKS
WERE MENTIONED IN THE OPPOSITION
YOU KNOW B. B. ALL WAS NOT JUST
BANNED BY THE FDA AND WHILE THE
FDA HAS SAID IT PLANS REVIEW
WILL BE THE ON THE FUTURE THERE
HAS BEEN NO ACTION IN FACT BACK
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY SEVEN THEY
SAID THEY WERE GOING TO REVIEW
IT- NOTED THAT AT THAT TIME. IT
WAS ONLY THE AGENCY WAS ONLY
ALLOWED TO BE ON INTRUM BASIS
PENDING FURTHER STUDY SO WE SEE
THAT THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT
THE FDA WILL ACT ON B. B. O. ANY
TIME SOON ADDITIONALLY. I THREW
THE CHEMICALS ARE NOT UNDER ANY
ACT TO REVIEW AT FTA- THE CDP H.
IS ALSO NOT INDEPENDENTLY
REVIEWING AT THE USE OF ANY OF
THESE CHEMICALS IN THE FOOD WITH
THAT- THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER WILL.
ON BEHALF OF THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
I RESPECT ME AFTER I ABOUT WHEN
APPROPRIATE THANK YOU- MADAM
SECRETARY CAN YOU PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL. THERE'S NO MOTION OF
COULD. YOU CAN MOTION CARRY
MOTION. I CAN MOTION. THE CHAIR
OR OKAY. THEN WE DO HAVE A
MOTION RIGHT NOW I'M SURE WE
WILL GET LAW ONCE WE- GET A-
TOGETHER. MYANMAR QUALITY SAID
CAN DOWN AND THAT WOULD BE GREAT
SO ALL RIGHT WELL THANK YOU SO
VERY MUCH- FOR THAT SENTIMENT OF
ART. NOW WILL MOVE ON TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER POPPIN WHO IS
HERE FILE ITEM TEN AB. SEVEN
FIFTY THREE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR I'M DELIGHTED TO BE
WITH YOU TODAY- FIRST OF ALL I'D
LIKE TO THINK. I'D LIKE TO START
BY ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES AND
MOMENTS AND THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR WORKING WITH MY OFFICE ON
THEM. AB SEVEN FIVE THREE WILL
REFORM THE STATE WATER BOARDS
CLEAN UP AND ABATEMENT ACCOUNT.
BASICALLY WILL BRING THE MONEY
BACK FROM WHERE IT COMES FROM.
SO AND ENSURE THAT FINES PAID BY
WATER QUALITY VIOLATORS ARE SENT
DIRECTLY BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
THAT WAS IMPACTED BY THEM. TO BE
CLEAR THIS LET'S GET THIS
LEGISLATION WILL NOT CREATE OR
INCREASE ANY FINES OR FEES IT
WILL SIMPLY GUARANTEE. THAT
EXISTING MONEY IS SPENT IN THE
MOST EFFECTIVE WAY POSSIBLE.
WHEN A VIOLATION OF WATER
QUALITY STANDARDS OCCURS A
VIOLATOR HAS TWO OPTIONS ONE YOU
CAN RESTORE THE WATER WEIGH
YOURSELF OR YOU CAN PAY A
PENALTY MOST PEOPLE PAY THE
PENALTY. AND THE WAY THE PENALTY
PROGRAM WAS ORIGINALLY
ENVISIONED WAS THAT THE MONEY IN
THE CLEAN UP A BASEMENT ACCOUNT
WITHIN BE SENT BACK TO CLEAN UP
THE AFFECTED WATER WAY.
UNFORTUNATELY IN RECENT YEARS A
STATE WATER BOARD IS DIVERTED
MORE AND MORE OF THIS MONEY TO A
FEW SPECIFIC PROJECTS LEAVING
MANY DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
WITHOUT THE FUNDING NECESSARY TO
CLEAN UP THEIR WATER. AB SEVEN
FIVE THREE WILL SIMPLY ENSURE
THAT. IT WAS 50% WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE THE AMENDMENTS 240% OF THE
MONEY GOING BACK TO THE
COMMUNITY FROM WHICH IT CAME
FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS
AFFECTED SO THAT THOSE- THAT ARE
IMPACTED CAN AFFORD. TO CLEAN UP
TO A AFFECTED WATERWAYS SO WITH
ME HERE TO TESTIFY TODAY SEAN
BOSWELL WITH CALIFORNIA COAST TO
KEEPER ALLIANCE. THANK YOU GOOD
MORNING CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE
MEMBERS STRONG BUBBLE ACCESS.
FOR COMPANY BECAUSE COMPLIANCE.
I'M ALSO THE PRIMARY OF THIS.
WHICH IS TO SEND ENFORCEMENT
FINES BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT
WAS ORIGINALLY HARMED- TO
ESSENTIALLY MAKE THEM WHOLE
AGAIN FOR THE VIOLATION THAT
OCCURRED. I WON THE FIRST THINGS
YOU LEARN WHEN YOU LAW SCHOOL IS
TOWARDS LAW. AND THE IDEA BEHIND
TOWARDS LOVE MAKE MAKING THE
VICTIM HOLD AGAIN ARE PUTTING
THEM BACK IN THE PLACE THEY WERE
BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. YOU TAKE A
CAR ACCIDENT FOR EXAMPLE THE
PERSON THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
THAT ACCIDENT DOESN'T JUST PAY A
FINE AND WALK AWAY. THEY MAKE
THE PERSON THE VICTIM HOLD AGAIN
BY FIXING THE CAR HEALTH YOU
KNOW MEDICAL BILLS WHATEVER THAT
TAKES- WE DO A LOT OF WORK WITH
THE STATE WATER BOARD AND A
COUPLE YEARS AGO WE DID. A
GOVERNANCE A PROJECT LOOKING AT
HOW WE CAN IMPROVE GOVERNANCE
BETWEEN THE STATE IN THE
REGIONAL WATER BOARDS. AND THE
NUMBER ONE CONSISTENT THING THAT
GOT BROUGHT UP BY THE REGIONAL
WATER BOARDS WAS THEIR
FRUSTRATION THAT THEIR
ENFORCEMENT MONEY WAS NO LONGER
BEING RETURNED TO THEM TO DO.
THE TYPE OF PROJECTS THAT THIS
BILL- CONSIDERS. AS THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER STATED THAT WHEN THERE'S
AN ENFORCEMENT ACTION. THE
POLLUTER HAS TWO OPTIONS THEY
CAN PUT PAINS WHAT'S CALLED THE
SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL
PROJECT WHICH IS A COMMUNITY
RESTORATION PROJECT. OR THE
CAMPAIGN IN THE CLEAN UP AND
BATEMAN ACCOUNT. THEY ALMOST
ALWAYS CHOOSE THE GREEN BILL
BATEMAN ACCOUNT BECAUSE THEY
WANT TO WRITE THAT LIABILITY OFF
THEIR BOOKS. THEY DON'T WANNA BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT.
NOW FOR YEARS THE STATE WATER
BOARD DID RETURN THAT FUNDING
BACK TO THE REGION'S TO DECIDE
ON RESTORATION TYPE PROJECTS.
BUT STARTING IN TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN THE WATER BOARD STARTED
USING THAT MONEY FOR EMERGENCY
DRINKING WATER PURPOSES. IN TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN THIS
LEGISLATURE PASSED. SB TWO
HUNDRED WHICH IS THE SAFER
PROGRAM- AT THE STATE WATER
BOARD. SO THAT NOW THERE'S AN
EXISTING. SOURCE OF FUNDING AND
A PROGRAM IN PLACE TO ADDRESS
ANY OF THOSE DRINKING WATER
NEEDS. AND SO WE THINK THE TIME
IS RIGHT TO START RETURNING THAT
MONEY BACK TO THE COMMUNITIES
ORIGINALLY HARM TO. MY
ORGANIZATION DOES SPARKLING
WATER ACT ENFORCEMENT TO. AND
WHEN WE DO ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS
WE GET A COUPLE THINGS ONE IS A
CONSENT. DECREE THAT TELLS THE
POLLUTER HOW HOW TO COME TO
COMPLAIN WITH THEIR PER. AND ONE
OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL AND-
PROJECTS. WHEN THE WATER BOARD
AS ENFORCEMENT THE SIMPLY ASSESS
A FINE. AND THEY SAY GO COMPLY
WITH YOUR PERMIT AND THEN THEY
WALK AWAY. AND THE PROBLEM IS IF
THAT'S ALL THAT'S BEING DONE IN
THE ENFORCEMENT ACTION AND THEN
THAT ENFORCEMENT MONEY IS GOING
TO OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE. NOT
TO THE COMMUNITIES THAT WERE
ORIGINALLY HARMED THEN WE HAVE A
SITUATION WHERE THE POLLUTER CAN
CONTINUE TO DO BUSINESS AS
USUAL. AND YET THAT MONEY THAT
WAS PAID FOR THE VIOLATION IS
NOT GOING BACK TO- MAKE THE
COMMUNITY WHOLE AGAIN. SO WE
BELIEVE AB SEVEN SEVEN FIVE
THREE WITH THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS- ALLOW 60% OF THE
MONEY TO REMAIN FOR MERGING SEA
PURPOSES. STATE WATER BOARD CAN
DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH. AND THE
40% WILL THEN GO TO THE REGIONS
TO MAKE THEIR DECISIONS ON WHAT
LOCAL PROJECTS ARE MOST
NECESSARY TO BRING THEIR
WATERWAYS. HOLD AGAIN FROM A
PAST. WATER QUALITY VIOLATIONS
SO THAT ESPERANDO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN
CENTERS I AM HERE TO PRESENT TO
ASSEMBLY BILL EIGHT NINETY NINE
AT FIRST I WANT TO. THANK YOU
COMMITTEE FOR THEIR DILIGENT
WORK AND AM NOT SURE WHO I
SHOULD BE LOOKING AT YES OKAY
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR
WORK ON THIS. ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS REGARDING THE
Q. R. CODE AND I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL BE
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS TO- REGARDING THE
INTERNET POSTING PROVISIONS AS-
INDICATED- IN YOUR COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. I WANTED TO SAY THAT-
WELL FIRST OF ALL THIS IS A BILL
- THAT IS A TRANSPARENCY BILL
THAT WILL HELP PROTECT BABIES
FROM INGESTING TOXIC METALS
OTHERS THE BILL THAT ACTUALLY
CAME FROM. ONE OF OUR- LESS THAT
HAVE STAFF COLLEAGUES IN THE
BUILDING WHO JUST HAD HER FIRST
BABY ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND SHE
QUICKLY REALIZED THAT THERE IS
VERY LITTLE TRANSPARENCY IN
TERMS OF. THE AMOUNTS THE LEVELS
OF TOXIC HEAVY METALS- AND BABY
FOODS NUMBERS THE ORIGINAL BILL
I SHOULD CLARIFY IS THAT WE HAD
BOTH. INFANT FORMULA AS WELL AS
BABY FOOD WE HAD A VERY RIGOROUS
DISCUSSION ON THIS BILL AND
SENATE HEALTH. AND THAT WE
AGREED TO TAKE OUT INFANT
FORMULA. SO THIS BILL ONLY
DEALS. WITH BABY FOOD. BUT YOU
KNOW AS- POINTED OUT IN YOUR-
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THE- US
HOUSE. COMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT
REFORM. OTHER SUB COMMITTEE
CONDUCTED A- FACT FINDING
HEARINGS ON THE ISSUE OF TOXIC
HEAVY METALS AND BABY FOODS AND
THEY CAME UP WITH PRETTY
ALARMING FINDINGS. SPECIFICALLY
AS A QUOTED IN YOUR COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. COMMERCIAL BABY FOODS
ARE TAINTED WITH A SIGNIFICANT
LEVELS OF TOXIC HEAVY METALS
INCLUDING ARSENIC LEAD CADMIUM
AND MERCURY. EXPOSURE TO TOXIC
HEAVY METALS CAUSES PERMANENT
DECREASES AND I. Q. DIMINISHED
FUTURE ECONOMIC PRODUCTIVITY AND
INCREASED RISK OF FUTURE
CRIMINAL AND ANTI SOCIAL
BEHAVIOUR. TOXIC HEAVY METALS IN
DANGER INFANT NEUROLOGICAL
DEVELOPMENT AND LONG TERM BRAIN
FUNCTION. SO THIS MEASURE SEEKS
TO. SHINE A SPOTLIGHT AND TO
REQUIRE A WITH THE Q. R. CODE ON
THE LABEL ADDRESSING THE
MANUFACTURERS CONCERNS. ABOUT
HOW WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK YOU
KNOW- GIVEN THE FEDERAL VERSUS
STATE. REGULATORY SCHEMES THAT
NEED TO BE COORDINATED HERE. TO
PROVIDE THAT TRANSPARENCY FOR
CALIFORNIA CONSUMERS IN HOPES
THAT THAT WILL HELP SPUR THE
NATIONAL MARKET FOR BROUGHT BABY
FOOD TO FURTHER- SUPPORT AND
ENHANCE THE FDA'S ONGOING
EFFORTS TO ADDRESS THIS CRITICAL
ISSUE OF TOXIC HEAVY METALS IN
BABY FOODS I'M HERE TO. I
SUPPORTED ARE. NOT SUSAN LITTLE-
BUT WITH MELANIE BANISH WITH THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. THANK YOU
SO MUCH I DIDN'T HELLO AGAIN MY
NAME IS MELANIE BANISH AND I AM
TESTIFYING ON BEHALF OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP I AM
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF AB
EIGHT NINETY NINE AS PROPOSED TO
BE AMENDED WE STRONGLY SUPPORT
EFFORTS TO TEST BABY FOOD FOR
TOXIC METALS AND TO MAKE THE
RESULTS OF THOSE TESTS PUBLIC.
TOO OFTEN BABY FOOD CAN CONTAIN
TOXIC HEAVY METALS THAT HARM A
BABY'S DEVELOPING BRAIN
INCLUDING LEAD ARSENIC CADMIUM
AND MERCURY. THE FDA IS MOVING
TOO SLOWLY TO PROTECT OUR BABIES
EVERY DAY TEN THOUSAND BABIES
START EATING SOLID FOOD BUT THE
FDA SO FAR HAS ONLY ISSUED DRAFT
STANDARDS FOR LEAD IN SOME BABY
FOODS. AND OUR BABIES CAN'T WAIT
. REQUIRING COMPANIES TO TEST
BABY FOOD AND REPORT THE RESULTS
WILL HELP PARENTS AVOID PRODUCTS
WITH HIGH LEVELS OF TOXIC METALS
AND DRIVE IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
HOW WE GROW AND PROCESS BABY
FOOD INGREDIENTS. EVEN IF THE
FDA COMPLETE STANDARDS THEY MAY
NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO PROTECT
OUR BABY'S. BABY FOOD STANDARDS
SHOULD BE DRIVEN NOT BY WHAT'S
ACHIEVABLE BASED ON CURRENT FOOD
MANUFACTURING BUT SHOULD BE
BASED ON WHAT'S NEEDED TO
PROTECT OUR BABY'S. BABY FOOD
COMPANY SHOULD BE CHALLENGED TO
CHANGE WHERE AND HOW THEY
PRODUCE BABY FOOD INGREDIENTS.
AND CHALLENGE TO REPLACE OR
BLEND BABY FOOD INGREDIENTS TO
REDUCE TOXIC HEAVY METALS. TOO
OFTEN THE FTA BASIS THEIR
STANDARDS ON WHAT BABY FOOD
COMPANIES CAN ACHIEVE TODAY AND
NOT WHAT THEY COULD ACHIEVE IN
THE FUTURE BASING BABY FOOD
SAFETY STANDARDS ON CURRENT
INDUSTRY PRACTICES IS LITTLE
BETTER THAN LEADING COMPANIES
SET THEIR OWN STANDARDS. WHICH
SO FAR HAS FAILED OUR BABIES.
EWG STRONGLY SUPPORTS AB EIGHT
NINETY NINE BECAUSE TESTING AND
REPORTING ON TOXIC METALS AND
BABY FOOD WILL PRODUCE THE
RESULTS ARE BABIES NEED. FAR
QUICKER THAN THE STANDARDS THAT
MIGHT SOMEDAY BE SET BY AB ARE
BY THE FDA. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WRESTLING WITH THAT. OUR BIGGEST
CONCERN WAS ON LABELING AT VERY
DIFFICULT TO PROVIDE PRODUCTS
ACROSS STATE LINES AND DIFFERENT
LABELS AND ALL THAT. I WOULD
THINK THIS IS AGAIN I HAVE TO
WORK BUT GLANCED INTO THE
LANGUAGE I THINK THIS THAT THAT
IDEA NUMBER THREE. UP IN THE
COMMON ADDRESSES OUR CONCERNS
AND THAT THAT THIS. MAY BE A
SUITABLE SOLUTION BUT AGAIN I
NEED TO. WORK THAT THROUGH WITH

RIGHT LET'S HEAR FROM I CENTER
MCKENNA WHO'S HERE TO PRESENT
THE FINAL. BILL ON THE AGENDA
THAT IS- E. B. SIXTEEN TWENTY.
GOOD MORNING. I'D LIKE TO START
WITH THANK YOU A CHAIR. FOR I AM
WORKING WITH US ON THIS BILL I
APPRECIATE YOU CHAIR. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS I'M HERE
TO PRESENT AB SIXTEEN TWENTY
EIGHT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ALL
NEW WASHING MACHINES FOR SALE IN
CALIFORNIA TO HAVE A MICROFIBER
FILTER. CALIFORNIA IS IN THE
MIDST OF A PLASTIC POLLUTION
CRISIS WITH PLASTICS OF ALL SIZE
ACCUMULATING IN OUR ENVIRONMENT.
CALIFORNIANS ARE EXPOSED TO
MICROPLASTICS TO THE AIR WE
BREATHE THE WATER WE DRINK AND
FOOD WE EAT WHICH HAVE NOW BEEN
DETECTED IN HUMAN PULMONARY
TISSUES INTESTINES AND EVEN IN
PLACENTAS. WHILE WASTE WATER
TREATMENT PLANTS ARE PUT PASSIVE
RECEIVERS OF THE FIBERS IN WASTE
WATER FROM CLOSE WATCHING IN
CAPTURING MICROFIBERS AT A VERY
EFFECTIVE RATE THESE FRAGMENTS
RISK ESCAPING AND BEING
INTRODUCED TO THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT THROUGH THE USE OF
WASTEWATER BIOSOLIDS S. OIL
AMENDMENTS. CALIFORNIA'S
AGRICULTURAL FIELDS WHERE THEY
CAN PERSIST FOR DECADES WITH
GLOBAL PRODUCTION OF SYNTHETIC
TEXTILES EXPECTED TO TRIPLE BY
TWENTY FIFTY THIS PROBLEM WILL
ONLY CONTINUE TO GROW. IN ORDER
TO EFFECTIVELY PREVENT
MICROFIBER POLLUTION WE MUST
LOOK TO UPSTREAM SOLUTIONS THAT
IS WHY AB SIXTEEN TWENTY EIGHT
WILL REQUIRE ALL NEW WASHING
MACHINES FOR SELLING CALIFORNIA
TO HAVE A MICROFIBER FILTER.
THIS IS THE SOLUTION THAT IS
COST AND ENERGY EFFICIENT AND
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE VOLUME
OF MICROFIBERS ENTERED INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT. BUILT IN FILTERS
ARE NOW READILY AVAILABLE IN
WASHING MACHINES IN A NUMBER OF
GEOGRAPHIC- GEOGRAPHIC'S
INCLUDING JAPAN AND THE E. U.
AND COULD BE BROUGHT TO SCALE IN
THE U. S. AS WELL. THE WITNESSES
THAT I HAVE HERE TODAY OUR
LISTA. ARIK A REAL DEAL I HOPE I
DIDN'T MESS UP YOUR NAME TO
BETTER. I'M REPRESENTING FIVE
YEARS AND JASON ECKHARDT
REPRESENTING THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICTS
THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT WHAT'S YOUR
FOR ME WITNESSES. GOOD MORNING
GOOD MORNING TERROR ALLEN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS DR LISA- AT ALL AND I'M
HONORED TO BE HERE REPRESENTING
FIVE GYRES I DEDICATED OVER A
DECADE TO RESEARCHING PLASTIC
POLLUTION AND I'VE STUDIED
HABITATS AND WILDLIFE AROUND THE
WORLD. OFTEN THE MAJORITY OF THE
PARTICLES THAT WE'RE FINDING OUR
MICROFIBERS THE SMALL TEXTILE
FRAGMENTS LESS THAN FIVE
MILLIMETRES IN SIZE. I AM HERE
TODAY TO PROVIDE SCIENTIFIC
EVIDENCE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL
WHICH COMES IN SUPPORT WITH
SEVENTY FIVE ORGANIZATIONS
SCIENTISTS AND TEXTILE PRINTS IN
SUPPORT. WE KNOW THAT
MICROFIBERS POSE A THREAT TO OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE THERE
HUNDREDS OF SPECIES SPANNING
FROM LANDS TO OCEAN THAT IN JUST
MICROFIBERS AND AS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER BEGINNER
MENTIONED THERE ALSO IN US.
RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED THAT A
SINGLE LOAD OF OUR LAUNDRY CAN
RELEASE MILLIONS OF MICROFIBERS.
BUT WE KNOW THAT WASHING MACHINE
FILTERS ARE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE AT
CAPTURING THESE MICROFIBRES
BEFORE THEY'RE RELEASED TO THE
ENVIRONMENT. IN LABORATORY
STUDIES THAT I'VE CONDUCTED AND
PUBLISHED IN PEER REVIEWED
SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS WE FOUND
THAT THESE FILTERS CAN CAPTURE
UP 290% OF MICROFIBERS SO THEY
WORK. I'M WASHING MACHINE
FILTRATION IS NOT ONLY EFFECTIVE
WHEN WE TEST THESE DEVICES IN
THE LAB BUT ALSO IN PRACTICE. IN
A STUDY THAT I LED WE
IMPLEMENTED WASHING MACHINE
FILTERS IN JUST 10% OF
HOUSEHOLDS IN THE COMMUNITY BUT
FOUND A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION.
IN MICROFIBERS AT A WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT. IN THIS
RESEARCH WE ALSO FOUND THAT
THESE FILTERS DON'T CLOG
CONSUMERS ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR
WITH CLEANING OUT DRYER FILTERS
AND WE FOUND THIS BEHAVIOR WAS
QUICK TO ADOPT FOR THE WASHING
MACHINE AS WELL. MORE AND MORE
COMPANIES ARE INVESTING IN THIS
TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY AT BOTH
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SCALES. AND THIS BILL OFFERS
CONSIDERABLE ROOM AND
FLEXIBILITY FOR INNOVATION JUST
REQUIRES A HUNDRED MICRON MESH
WHICH WE KNOW WHAT WORKS. ALSO
GIVEN THAT FILTRATION
TECHNOLOGIES EXIST IN OTHER
PLACES THE TIME LATE LAID OUT IN
THIS BILL WOULD ENABLE.
TECHNOLOGIES THAT ARE EXISTING
ALREADY TO BE INCORPORATED INTO
NEW MACHINES. JUST TO SUM UP WE
KNOW THAT WASHING MACHINE
FILTERS ARE WELL ESTABLISHED
SOLUTION TO CAPTURE MICROFIBERS.
ADDRESSING ADDRESSING
MICROPLASTICS IN CALIFORNIA
REQUIRES A MULTIFACETED APPROACH
BUT THIS BILL SERVES AS A
CRITICAL STEP TOWARDS REDUCING A
KNOWN SOURCE OF MICROPLASTIC
POLLUTION. I EXPRESS MY
GRATITUDE TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MCCANN- FOR HER LEADERSHIP AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE ON THIS CRITICAL ISSUE
THANK YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRED MEMBERS CHASE
ENACTED ON BEHALF OF THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY SANITATION
DISTRICTS. A LOTS ALREADY BEEN
SAID ABOUT THE PROBLEM BEING
ADDRESSED BY THE BILL IN THE
SOLUTION IN THE BILL SO TO KEEP
IT BRIEF. L. A. CST PROVIDE
SOLID WASTE AND WASTEWATER
SERVICE TO FIVE AND A HALF
MILLION PEOPLE IN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY WE OPERATE. ELEVEN
MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT
FACILITIES AND IMPORTANT FOR
THIS BILL WE ARE PASSIVE
RECEIVERS OF POLLUTANTS
INCLUDING THE MICROFIBERS THAT
ARE BEING DISCUSSED HERE WERE
NOT THE SOLE SOURCE OF IT. WE
DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY LOCALLY
TO DO SOURCE CONTROL ON THIS-
BUT THIS BILL CAN AND THAT'S WHY
I'M IT. L. A. CST IS A FORWARD
THINKING ENTITY THAT SUPPORTS
WASTE CONVERSION AND SUPPORTS
RECYCLED WATER- ARE ALSO
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS POLLUTION
PREVENTION MEASURE- BECAUSE IT
IS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE
ON THE TABLE TO ESSENTIALLY
ENSURE THAT. THAT THE- THE
MICROFIBERS DON'T ENTER THE
WASTE WATER STREAM IN THE FIRST
PLACE AND THEREFORE ARE GETTING
INTO OUR ENVIRONMENT THROUGH-
THROUGH THROUGH OUR FACILITIES
ARE OR OTHERWISE SO. WE
APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT THE
AUTHORS DONE WITH US TO ADDRESS
AS SOME SOME INITIAL. I THOUGHT
THAT WE HAD ON ON THE BILL AND
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING IT
PROGRESS THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT

OPPOSITION FOLKS HAVE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL. HELLO GOOD
MORNING STILL COMMITTEE ON KEVIN
MESS AROUND WITH THE ASSOCIATION
HOME APPLIANCE MANUFACTURERS.
I'LL JUST GO THROUGH A COUPLE
QUICK THINGS- GOING OUT ON A
MUCH TIME FIRST OF ALL I WILL
HUNDRED JUST CLARIFY. THESE
FILTERS ARE NOT READILY
AVAILABLE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD
WE REPRESENT A GLOBAL INDUSTRY.
FRANCE ENACTED A SIMILAR LAW
THREE YEARS AGO AND THEY'RE
STILL NOT ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IT
AND THEY'VE DELAYED IT SO THE
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ABLE HAVE
CLOTHES WASHERS IN FRANCE AT
THIS POINT SO I JUST WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT IT'S CLEAR. THEY DON'T
EXIST IN JAPAN. IT THAT'S A
DIFFERENT FILTER IT'S NOT
MICROFIBRES SO THERE'S A LOT OF
US OF BACK TO THE BILL. WE
CERTAINLY OPPOSE DESIGN
REQUIREMENTS. WE DON'T THINK THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE YOU GUYS
ARE. VERY INVOLVED A LOT OF
ISSUES BUT WE DON'T THINK THAT'S
THE BEST PLACE TO BE DESIGNING
CLOTHES WASHERS LET
MANUFACTURING. CLOTHES WASHER
ENGINEERS DESIGN THE CLOTHES
WASHERS THIS BILL DESIGNS THE
CLOTHES WASHERS BY SAYING A
HUNDRED MICRON FILTER HAS TO BE
AN THEIR- HUNDRED MICRON FILTER.
IS GONNA CLOG IT'S GOING TO
FLOOD THE ROOM THERE'S A LOT OF
OTHER POTENTIAL TECHNOLOGIES
THAT ARE NOT FILTERS. THIS BILL
PREVENTS ANY INNOVATION OUTSIDE
OF FILTERS IT DESIGNS THE
CLOTHES WASHERS. AND FRANCE A
KNOWLEDGE THIS AMENDED THEIR LAW
TO SAY FILTERS OR ANY OTHER OF
TECHNOLOGIES THEY STILL DON'T
HAVE A SOLUTION YET BUT AT LEAST
THEY'RE NOT DESIGNING THE
CLOTHES WASHER. THERE'S NO
REGULATORY AGENCY AND FRANCE
AGAIN THEY HAD MINISTRY TO
OVERSEE THIS TO IMPLEMENT THIS
THEY'RE HAVING TROUBLES
IMPLEMENTING THAT BUT THIS HAS
NO AGENCY AT ALL OVERSEE THIS OR
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS
HAPPENS IF THERE'S NO CLOTHES
WASHERS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET
OR HOW TO DO THIS. THERE'S NO
CLARITY ON INSTALLED THIS BILL
WOULD PREVENT A PERSON GOING TO
HOME DEPOT PICKING UP A CLOTHES
WASHER BRINGING IT HOME AND
INSTALLING AT THE WAY THE BILLS
DRAFTED SO TO PREVENT THAT FROM
HAPPENING. IT REQUIRES
FILTRATION ON ALL CYCLES WHICH
MEANS YOU CAN'T HAVE A BY PASS
OFF A CLOGS IT EITHER STOPS
WORKING OR IT FLOODS THE LAUNDRY
ROOM. IT INCLUDES COMMERCIAL
WASHERS LAUNDROMATS EXCITER ALL
AT- ANOTHER OF MY COLLEAGUE GET
TO THAT SO YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE
ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH A FEW
OTHER. SPEAKER ONE THOUSAND
TIMES OKAY ROB FINISH A TWO
THINGS LET HIM SPEAK. IT
INCREASES ENERGY AND WATER USE
ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH ENERGY AND
WATER THIS WILL BE IN VIOLATION
LIKELY OF AFRICA AND THE FEDERAL
LAW ON PREEMPTION. AND DELAY THE
LABEL THAT'S BEEN SUGGESTED IS
AN ACCURATE IT SAYS IT HAS TO
CONTAIN THERE ARE NO BUILT IN
PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN A FILTER.
SO THAT LABEL WOULD BE AN
ACCURATE TO PUT ON IT BUT YET
THIS REQUIRES US TO PUT THIS ON.
SO THERE'S A NUMBER OF ISSUES
THAT ARE HERE AND I ACTUALLY
AGREE WITH THE PERSON WHO
TESTIFIED FROM THE LA SANITATION
DISTRICTS AND THEY'RE NOT THE
SOURCE. CLOTHES WASHERS ARE ALSO
NOT THE SOURCE OF THIS PROBLEM
SOLVED. SOMETIME PRECIADO MOVE
QUICKLY PATCH CHOICE ON BEHALF
OF THE COIN LAUNDRY ASSOCIATION
WHICH TRANSOCEAN REPRESENTING.
OVER THREE THOUSAND LAUNDROMATS
IN CALIFORNIA- JUST GONNA
QUICKLY GO THROUGH A COUPLE
CONCERNS- WE APPRECIATE DOLLARS
INTENT TO REDUCE MICROFIBRE
POLLUTION. BUT BELIEVE THIS ONE
SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH IS AN
APPROPRIATE AND WOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT. THOUSANDS
OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS. SO
BASED ON SOME RESEARCH THERE IS
EVIDENCE OF THE HUNDRED MICRON
FILTER CAN POTENTIALLY BE AN
EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR RESIDENTIAL
WASHERS. BUT THIS BILL ASSUMES
THE SAME TECHNOLOGY WILL BE
EQUALLY EFFECTIVE WITH
COMMERCIAL WASHERS WHICH ARE
DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT. THE
AVERAGE LAUNDROMAT HAS ANYWHERE
FROM FIFTY TO A HUNDRED HIGH
CAPACITY WASHERS AND- THE VOLUME
OF WATER THE HIGH CAPACITY
LOADS. THESE FILTERS WILL
QUICKLY CLOG. REQUIRING THE
TEDIOUS TASK OF. TECHNICIANS
WERE MOVING THE BALL KID BROTHER
LET LOGICAL IS THE DRAINS ALL
THE MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT
CRAWLING THROUGH THAT SPACE. TO
UNCLOG EACH INDIVIDUAL FILTER.
THAT'S AN INCREASE LABOR COSTS
FOR THE SMALL BUSINESSES. AND WE
DO APPRECIATE THE LONG. ON RAMP
RATES A GOOD. LONG ON RAMP THE
GIVEN HOW SPECIFIC THE CONTROL
TECHNOLOGY. IS THE TIMELINE IS
IRRELEVANT BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY
PRE DETERMINED WHAT SOLUTION.
SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. AND THIS
IS GONNA PRECLUDE OTHER FUTURE
SOLUTIONS FOR EXAMPLE THE
INDUSTRY IS EXPLORING THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A- CENTRAL
COLLECTION SYSTEM TO CAPTURE THE
MICRO FACT FIBERS. IN EACH BOWL
CAD OR A STORE WIDE- FILTER
SYSTEM ARE YOU DROP IT UP FROM
THIS IS A MUCH BETTER APPROACH
TAILORED FOR LAUNDROMATS. SO
APPRECIATE THE CONSIDERATION
LEGISLATURE TO TREAT COMMERCIAL
LAUNDRY AND RESIDENTIAL WASHERS

AND A SECURE WE DID CLEAR THE
QUEUE. THANK YOU MR ROBERT WE
WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE
MEMBERS. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND- ASSEMBLY MEMBER CAN- THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING THIS I THINK
THE ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT THERE'S
BEEN- MANY OTHER MEMBERS HAVE
BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO ALL OF OUR
ATTENTION AND WHILE THEY'RE
BILLS WERE NOT SUCCESSFUL.
THERE'S CLEAR INDICATION THAT
THE LEGISLATURE AND MEMBERS WERE
HAVE BEEN AWARE AS AS WE KNOW
THAT SCIENTISTS AND OTHERS HAVE
BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR A
GOOD DEAL OF TIME. AND I. WOW SO
I GUESS WHAT I'M RAISING IS THAT
THE INDUSTRY WHILE OF COURSE
THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED TO DO
ANYTHING YET. THEY'VE BEEN ON
NOTICE AND. IT IS A REAL PROBLEM
OUR OUR WERE BEYOND THE IMPACT
ON THE WATERWAYS ARE BODY LOADS
OF THESE- MATERIALS IN THE
SUMMER MUCH OF WHICH ARE
PLASTIC. ON WE STILL DON'T FULLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT THE IMPACT OF
THAT IS GOING TO BE ON ALL OF US
AND OUR CHILDREN AND OUR
GRANDCHILDREN. SO I GUESS I WANT
TO RAISES THAT WHILE OF COURSE
IN EVERY BILL THAT WE DO THAT
PUTS A NEW EXPECTATION ON AN
INDUSTRY IT'S RARE. IT'S PRETTY
MUCH PRAYER WILL NOT EVER THAT
THEY DON'T LIKE IT AND- BUT I
THINK THAT'S OUR ROLE TO PROTECT
PUBLIC HEALTH PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT. AND I WANTED TO BE
SPECIFIC ABOUT THE POINT THAT
WAS BROUGHT UP LIKE THIS IS BEEN
A FAILURE IN FRANCE AND THEY
CAN'T GET A WASHING MACHINE. MY
UNDERSTANDING OF THE BACKGROUND
ON THAT IS THAT IT'S AN EASY YOU
ISSUE. VERSES A SPECIFICALLY AN
ISSUE TO FRANCE AND WELL
CERTAINLY IN- US. STATES CAN BE
PREEMPTED ACT IN CERTAIN WAYS WE
ARE NOT PREEMPTED TO ACT IN THIS
WAY. AND I THINK WE WOULD BE
WISE TO ACT AND TO HOPEFULLY
OTHER STATES WOULD THEN ALSO ACT
IF NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SO
THAT WE GET THE RIGHT ACTION
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND I AM
CONFIDENT THAT WE ARE WE KNOW AN
APOLOGIES TO. INDICATE THAT A
WITNESS WOULD GIVE FALSE
INFORMATION BUT THERE ARE
AVAILABLE FILTERS IT IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT IS NEVER BEEN
INVENTED. AND CERTAINLY WITH THE
TIME PERIOD THAT THE BILL IS
GIVING FOR IMPLEMENTATION
THERE'S LOTS MORE TIME TO REFINE
AND FIX THAT- AND I THINK THIS
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DO AND- I
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT AND I
WILL- MOVE THE BILL. OKAY
WEAKNESS SO AT SO- WE'RE
DELIGHTED CLOSE BUT WE FIRST
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE
GONNA ACCEPT AMENDMENTS TO THE
CAPE COMMITTEE PUT ON. YES WITH
THAT. YOU MAY CLOSE. SO I JUST
WANNA. ADDRESS A COUPLE OF THAT
STATEMENTS THAT WERE MADE- THE
FIRST ONE ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY-
IT'S FALSE- THAT THERE'S NO
TECHNOLOGY SAMSUNG HAS
ANNOUNCED. THAT THEIR NEW
WASHING MACHINES WILL HAVE
MICROPLASTIC FILTERS ON THEM AND
ARKLEY ARCLIGHT HAS ALREADY
INCORPORATED MICRO FILTERS. INTO
THEIR WASHING MACHINES THE
TECHNOLOGY IS HERE AND WE NEED
TO PUSH THE INDUSTRY TO MOVE
FORWARD- SECONDLY THIS- THIS
STATEMENT- ABOUT THE MICRO
FILTERS I'M SORRY LEADS TO
FLOODING AND CLOGGING. THE
STATEMENT IS ALSO NOT TRUE. M.
A. HAMS INDUSTRY CONDUCTED
STUDIES AND A NOT. YOUR REVIEW
AND IS ALSO SEVERAL YEARS AGO
PEER REVIEWED STUDIES CONDUCTED
BY VERIFIED SCIENTISTS DEBUNK
THE OPPOSITION'S CLAIM IN
SUPPORT THE IDEA OF MICRO
FILTERS MICROFIBER FILTERS BEING
THE SOLUTION TO SOLVING THE
MICROPLASTIC PROBLEM. AND WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
IPHONE. OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION
AND- A CLOSE. SNOOTY HERS CENTER
SKINNER. THE BILL I BELIEVE THAT
RIGHT YES OKAY CALL THE ROLL
