THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. AND
THANK YOU FOR THE OLD COUNTRY
PRONUNCIATION OF MY LAST NAME. I
RISE TO PRESENT A B 5 70
ASSEMBLYMAN GALLAGHER. THIS BILL
ENSURES THAT UNDERFUNDED COUNTY
SERVICE AREAS FORMED FOR THE
SOLE PURPOSE OF FIRE PROTECTION
ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE GRANTS FROM
THE SPECIAL DISTRICT FIRE
RESPONSE FUND. I'M SURE THERE'S
AN ACRONYM IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
UNFORTUNATELY NEITHER
PROPOSITION 19 OF 2020. UM NOR
SB. 4 50. I CAN TELL. THIS IS A
SPELLBINDING PRESENTATION.
THAT'S WHY I HAVE EVERYBODY'S
ATTENTION. THANK YOU FOR THE
GAVEL NOR SB 4 50 OF 2022
CONTEMPLATED THAT BOTH FIRE
DISTRICTS AND COUNTY SERVICE
AREAS PROVIDE FIRE PROTECTION.
TOO MANY REGIONS CURRENT LAW IN
ALLOCATING MONIES FROM THE FUND
ONLY REFERENCES SPECIAL
DISTRICTS THAT PROVIDE FIRE
PROTECTION SERVICES. SINCE
COUNTY SERVICE AREAS ARE LEGALLY
DISTINCT FROM SPECIAL DISTRICTS
. THIS OVERSIGHT RESULTED IN
EXODUS ACROSS THE STATE BEING
INELIGIBLE FOR ANY OF THE
RESOURCES WITHIN THE SPECIAL
DISTRICT FIRE RESPONSE FUND.
THIS BILL WOULD PUT CSA'S ON
EQUAL FOOTING AS FIRE DISTRICTS
THAT PERFORM IDENTICAL FUNCTIONS
BY ENABLING THEM. TO ACCESS
FUNDING MEANT FOR FIRE
PROTECTION. THE BILL HAS NO
OPPOSITION AND HAS RECEIVED
UNANIMOUS OR SPORTS SUPPORT

MR PRESIDENT. I RISE TODAY
PRESENTED THE 6 23 ON BEHALF OF

UNFORTUNATE REALITY OF THE STATE
OF TECHNOLOGY IN CANNABIS
TESTING IN CALIFORNIA, IS THAT
AVAILABLE LAB EQUIPMENT CANNOT
CURRENTLY ACCURATELY MEASURE THE
REQUIRED VARIANCES WHEN THE
DOSAGE BEING TESTED BELOW 5, MG.
THIS HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, WHICH
PENALIZED TESTING LABS, WHICH
ACTING IN GOOD FAITH, AND USING
THE BEST AVAILABLE EQUIPMENT CAN
OFTEN YIELD FAILING TESTING
RESULTS. A B 6 23 ASKED THE
DEPARTMENT OF CANNABIS CONTROL
THE DEVICE TESTING STANDARDS,
WHICH ALLOW THE LOW DOSES OF THC
AND PRODUCTS UNDER 5 MG, TO BE
PROPERLY TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT THE
BILL AS TO DCC TO USE YOUR
EXPERTISE AND WORK WITH THE
INDUSTRY TO CREATE SUCH
STANDARDS AND DOES NOT DICTATE
HOW THEY SHOULD DO SO THIS BILL

MIDTERM ELECTION. 87% PLUS OF
CALIFORNIANS VOTED THEIR MAIL
BALLOTS 100. VOTES WERE CAST BY
MAIL BALLOTS IN THREE COUNTIES
IN 32 COUNTIES, 90% OR MORE,
CAST THEM. THE VOTERS WONDER
WHEN THEY MAIL THEM IN OR DROP
THEM IN A DROP BOX OR DROP THEM
OFF. WHEN OTHER PEOPLE ARE
VOTING WHY IT TAKES SO LONG TO
VERIFY THE SIGNATURES AND COUNT
THEM. THIS BILL GIVES THE
OPPORTUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT TAKE
THEIR MAIL BALLOT TO PRECINCT.
HAVE THEM SIGNED IN AND THEN
HAVE IT COUNTED ON ELECTION
NIGHT, JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER
BALLOTS ARE COUNTED. THIS CHANGE
WILL SIGNIFICANTLY EXPEDITE THE
VOTE COUNTING PROCESS AND
DECREASE THE WORKLOAD OF
ELECTION OFFICIALS. THERE IS NO

SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS ACT
. THIS CRITICAL BILL IS
SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS.
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
, THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION INEQUALITY,
CALIFORNIA MAYBE FIVE IS A
RESULT OF NEARLY A DECADE OF
ADVOCACY TO EQUIP TEACHERS IN

ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS, INCLUDING THOSE WHO

, I WAS A CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT TRAINER AND I WENT

THROUGH 12 SCORES IN MY
DISTRICT. NOW WE'RE TRAINED
SCORES HOW TO BE MORE SAFE AND
AFFIRMING. BECAUSE TEACHERS WERE

HARASSMENT DISCRIMINATION THAT

THE AMERICAN DREAM THAT OFTEN
MEANS PROVIDING SAFETY NET

DISCRIMINATION AND LACK LACK OF
ACCEPTANCE. THAT LGBT PLUS YOUTH
BASE. WHEN OUR QUEER STUDENTS

THEY'RE LIKELY FOR OF OVERCOMING
THOSE DISPARITIES AND SUCCEEDING
IN LIFE INCREASES SIGNIFICANTLY
. THAT'S WHY ARE TEACHERS WHO

MEMBERS IS RETURNING TO
PRIVILEGES OF THE FLOOR. ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR JONES WOULD
LIKE TO WELCOME THE BUILDING
INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. WHO WAS
CELEBRATING THEIR 1/100
ANNIVERSARY. HERE WITH US TODAY
WE HAVE THE CEO. JEFF MONTESANO.
THE INCOMING CHAIR NICOLE MURRAY
, THE CO FOUNDER OF THEIR JUNIOR
BUILDER PROGRAM. MIA MØT,
TEJANO. PLEASE JOIN ME IN GIVING
THEM A WARM CALIFORNIA STATE
SENATE WELCOME.
RETURNING TO ASSEMBLY. THIRD
READING, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO 2
37. UH THAT IS SENATOR
PORTANTINO. HE IS READY.
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ. ASSEMBLY
BILL 28 BY SENDING MEMBER
GABRIEL AND RELATING TO FIREARMS
AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION
THEREFORE, PORTANTINO. THANK YOU
, MR PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS. I
RISE ON BEHALF OF
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JESSE GABRIEL.
AND I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT A B
28. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT A B 28.
BECAUSE THIS BILL WILL FUND LIFE
SAVING SCHOOL SAFETY MEASURES.
AND GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION
PROGRAMS. THROUGH A MODEST
EXCISE TAX ON FIREARM
MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS. LET
ME REPEAT THAT. THIS BILL WILL
FUND LIFE SAVING SCHOOL SAFETY
MEASURES AND GUN VIOLENCE
PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THROUGHOUT
ALL OF THE DEBATES, WE TALK
ABOUT PREVENTION, WE TALK ABOUT
SAFETY. THIS BILL WILL FUND
THOSE EFFORTS AND THAT SHOULD BE
BIPARTISAN. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR KIDS
IN THE UNITED STATES. LET ME SAY
THAT AGAIN. GUN VIOLENCE IS THE
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH. FOR KIDS
IN THE UNITED STATES. ENDING
THAT SHOULD BE BIPARTISAN.
ACCORDING TO THE CDC, MORE
CHILDREN AND TEENS WERE KILLED
BY GUNS IN 2021 THAN ANY YEAR IN
THE LAST 20 YEARS. ACCORDING TO
THE CDC, THE PARENTS OF BLACK
SON AGED 13 TO 19 ARE MORE
LIKELY TO LOSE THEIR CHILD TO
GUN HOMICIDE. THEN EVERY OTHER
CAUSE OF DEATH COMBINED. SINCE
THIS BILL WAS INTRODUCED, WE
HAVE EXPERIENCED DOZENS OF MASS
SHOOTINGS, INCLUDING HORRIFIC
INCIDENTS. IN MONTEREY PARK.
HALF MOON BAY. IN ADDITION TO
THE BRUTAL HUMAN TOLL GUN
VIOLENCE ALSO CAUSES ECONOMIC
HARM. AND IMPOSES A SEVERE
BURDEN ON PUBLIC SERVICES AND
TAXPAYERS. RECENT REPORTS HAVE
FOUND THAT GUN DEATHS AND
INJURIES COST CALIFORNIA $22.6
BILLION ANNUALLY, OF WHICH 1.2
BILLION IS PAID DIRECTLY BY
TAXPAYERS. THERE IS A
CONSERVATIVE FISCAL ARGUMENT
THAT THIS BILL MAKES SENSE IF WE
EMBRACE THE ACTUAL FINANCIAL
IMPACT. AT THE SAME TIME, GUN
MANUFACTURERS HAVE RECORDED
RECORD BREAKING PROFITS BRAGGING
THAT THE GROWTH OF THE THAT
THEY'VE EXPERIENCED IN RECENT
YEARS HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF
REMARKABLE. DURING THE SAME TIME
BETWEEN 2018 AND 2021. THE
FIREARM DEATH RATE FOR AMERICAN
CHILDREN'S SOARED BY 40. SO WE
HAVE AN INDUSTRY MAKING HISTORIC
PRIVATE PRIDE. UM, PROFITS AT
THE SAME TIME, WE'RE SEEING
HISTORIC DEATH. TO OUR CHILDREN.
IN SHORT, FIREARM MANUFACTURERS
AND DEALERS ARE REAPING
UNPRECEDENTED WINDFALL PROFITS
AS FIREARM DEATHS AND GUN
INJURIES AND MASS SHOOTINGS ARE
IMPACTING COMMUNITIES ACROSS OUR
STATE. A B 28 SEEKS TO ADDRESS
THIS CHALLENGE BY PROVIDING A
LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE FUNDING
SOURCE. TO SCHOOL SAFETY FUNDS
AND PROVEN AND PROVEN VIOLENCE
PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THE REVENUE
GENERATED WILL BE IS ESTIMATED
TO BE AROUND $160 MILLION
ANNUALLY. IT IS A LONG TERM
INVESTMENT. IN THE SAFETY AND
WELL BEING OF OUR KIDS. LET'S
PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE. 100 AND
$60 MILLION FUND TO PROTECT OUR
CHILDREN. IS WORTH IT. THE 1ST
75 MILLION WILL GO TOWARDS THE
CALIFORNIA VIOLENCE,
INTERVENTION AND PREVENTION
GRANT PROGRAM, A VITAL PROGRAM
THAT IS ALREADY HELPED REDUCE
THE RATE OF GUN VIOLENCE IN
CALIFORNIA. WE KNOW THIS WORKS.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE PEOPLE ON
THIS FLOOR TALKED ABOUT? WE
SHOULD BE DOING MORE TO PREVENT
GUN VIOLENCE. WE KNOW THIS
WORKS. LET'S FUNDED. A B 28 WILL
EXPAND SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH AND
SAFETY MEASURES. HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE SOMEBODY STOOD UP ON THIS
FLOOR AND TALKED ABOUT THE TOLL
THE PANDEMIC HAS HAD ON OUR
YOUNG PEOPLE. HOW MANY TIMES
DOES SOMEBODY TALKED ABOUT
SAYING WE SHOULD UNITE BEHIND
EFFORTS TO MAKE OUR CHILDREN'S
HEALTH AND WELL BEING BE BETTER?
THIS WILL FUND THAT THAT SHOULD
BE BIPARTISAN. TO BE CLEAR. THIS
BILL IS NOT A PENALTY EARNED
EFFORT TO PREVENT OR DISCOURAGE
A LAWFUL GUN PURCHASE. IT IS AN
ORDINARY. EXCISE TAX NO
DIFFERENT THAN THE 10% EXCISE
TAX ON FISHING EQUIPMENT AND
GEAR THAT SUPPORTS THE
RESTORATION OF PHISHING SITES.
NO DIFFERENT AND IT'S COMPARABLE
TO THE FEDERAL TAXES THAT HAVE
BEEN SUPPORTING THE NRA.
IRONICALLY, SO TO BE CLEAR THIS
FUNDING WILL HELP REDUCE GUN
VIOLENCE AND SAVE LIVES. THAT IS
WHY THIS BILL IS STRONGLY
SUPPORTED BY A COALITION OF GUN
SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING
MOMS. THE BAND ACTION GIFFORDS,
EVERY TOWN FOR GUN SAFETY BRADY
MARCH FOR OUR LIVES AND PUBLIC
HEALTH AND MEDICAL AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS WHO
HAVE BEEN SERVING ON THE FRONT
LINES OF THE GUN VIOLENCE
EPIDEMIC. THIS INCLUDES THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS, THE AMERICAN COLLEGE
OF EMERGENCY PHYSICIANS AND
POLICE CHIEFS AND DEPARTMENTS
ACROSS THE STATE. LET ME SAY
THAT AGAIN. OUR DOCTORS.
PRESCRIBE THIS. EMERGENCY ROOM
PROFESSIONALS WANT THIS? WE
SHOULD NOT ONLY WANT THIS WE
SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS. THERE ARE
NUMEROUS LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS
WHO HAVE SEEN THE BENEFIT OF THE
CALVET. IN THEIR COMMUNITY CITY
ATTORNEY'S BOARDS OF SUPERVISORS
, 30 MAYORS, WE KNOW THAT
CALIFORNIANS ARE COUNTING ON US
TO DO EVERYTHING WE CAN WE KNOW
THE RHETORIC ON THIS FLOOR FOR A
DECADE. HAS SUPPORTED THE
CONCEPTS BEHIND THIS. DON'T LET
POLITICS STAND IN THE WAY. OF
SAVING THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN
AND PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH
CARE. IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
FEAR. SHOULD NOT BE ON THE BROW
OF APPARENT WHEN THEY SAID THEIR
KIDS TO SCHOOL. FEAR. SHOULD NOT
BE IN THE EYES OF A CHILD AT A
MOVIE THEATER WHO'S IN A
LOCKDOWN? FEAR. SHOULD NOT BE
SOMETHING THAT WE LEARNED TO
LIVE WITH. IN OUR SOCIETY. WE
HAVE A PROVEN. PROVEN WAY TO
REDUCE GUN VIOLENCE, A PROVEN
WAY TO HELP OUR KIDS. AND A
SUSTAINABLE FUNDING FORCE THAT
IS CONSTITUTIONAL. IS NOT NEW OR
NOVEL HAS BEEN USED BY OTHER
INDUSTRIES. WE SHOULD EMBRACE
THIS. AS A BIPARTISAN SENATE. WE
SHOULD SEND THIS TO THE
GOVERNOR. WE SHOULD STAND ON THE
RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY, AND WE
SHOULD STAND IN THE PUBLIC
SAFETY WITH OUR CHILDREN AND OUR
FAMILIES AND OUR TEENAGERS
AROUND THIS STATE AND SEND A
MESSAGE THAT WE CAN COME
TOGETHER ON SOMETHING THAT IS
RIGHT. YES, SUSTAINABLE. AND
FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RHETORIC
THAT WE ALL USE ON THIS FLOOR,
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I
VOTE. THANK YOU. WE HAVE SENATOR
DOLLY CENTER ARCHULETTA, THE
SENATOR RUBIO CENTER, DOLLY!
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS
I RISE ON BEHALF OF THE STUDENTS
THAT CAME TO OUR GOVERNED
FINANCE COMMITTEE WHO ARE SPORTS
SHOOTERS WHO ARE GOING TO BE
TAXED OUT OF THEIR SPORT. THAT'S
JUST WANT TO MENTION THAT
ACTUALLY, MY NEPHEW AS A
COMPETITIVE SHOOTER, THOSE KIDS
GET GREAT, UH, SCHOLARSHIPS AND
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE
WHO WOULD DISABILITIES WHO CAN'T
PLAY OTHER SPORTS. UH, CAN DO
THAT. SO I WANT TO JUST RISE AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE COUNT THEM. I
ALSO WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT
THAT DEATHS IN CALIFORNIA. MY
SEAT MATE, AND I JUST GOOGLED
236 DEATHS TO GUN VIOLENCE IN
CALIFORNIA. AND WE DON'T TALK
ABOUT THIS ONE, WHICH IS HUGE
5194 DEATHS OF FENTANYL. YOU
WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
DEATHS IN CALIFORNIA? DON'T WE
FOCUS ON FENTANYL MORE THAN WE
FOCUS ON TAXING YOUNG FOLKS AND
PEOPLE WHO ENJOY THEIR SECOND
AMENDMENT RIGHTS, AND THAT'S
WHERE WE REALLY SHOULD FOCUS OUR
TIME. WE'VE HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT THAT, AND I LOOK FORWARD
TO HAVING THOSE DISCUSSIONS
FURTHER FOR THOSE REASONS THAT
WE ARE OPPOSING THIS BILL.
MARSHALL LETTER. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I RISE AS A PROUD CO
AUTHOR OF A B 28. MAYBE 28 WOULD
PROVIDE CRITICAL FUNDING TO THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO
HELP ADDRESS GUN VIOLENCE AND
BETTER PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES.
THAT'S WHY A B 28 IS SUPPORTED
BY POLICE CHIEFS ACROSS THE
STATE DEPARTMENT'S ACROSS
CALIFORNIA DEALING WITH CHILDREN
EDUCATION. AND CERTAINLY THE
PEACE AND HARMONY IN THE
COMMUNITIES. AH! SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. AS A WHOLE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY, THE BAY AREA CENTRAL
VALLEY. IT IS VITAL THAT WE
SUPPORT THIS BILL. IMPORTANTLY A
B 28 WOULD PROVIDE FUNDING TO
IMPROVE FIREARM HOMICIDE AND
ASSAULT INVESTIGATION AND
COMMUNITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR
STREETS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY.
IT WAS ALSO A PROVIDE
SIGNIFICANT ONGOING FUNDING TO
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO ENSURE
THE PROMPT AND SAFE REMOVAL OF
FIREARMS FROM INDIVIDUALS COULD
BECOME PROHIBITED FROM OWNING OR
POSSESSING FIREARMS DUE TO
CRIMINAL CONVICTION. CRIMINAL
PROTECTIVE ORDERS OR GUN
VIOLENCE, RESTRAINING ORDERS.
THIS WILL HELP PROTECT BOTH
OFFICERS, MEN AND WOMEN IN THE
COMMUNITIES AND ESPECIALLY OUR
CHILDREN. THE LOS ANGELES POLICE
DEPARTMENT. THE CHIEF MICHAEL
MOORE, HAS NOTED A B 28 WOULD
REASONABLY GENERATE REVENUES TO
SUSTAINED PROGRAMS THAT ARE
TARGETED AND EFFECTIVE. THIS
WILL REDUCE SHOOTINGS, SAVE
LIVES AND MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES A
BETTER AND SAFER PLACE TO LIVE
FOR THESE REASONS. I
RESPECTFULLY IRISH AND I VOTE
FOR A B 28. THANK YOU, SENATOR
RUBIO. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
SENATE TODAY I ALSO STAND AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR OF A B 28, THE
GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND
SCHOOL SAFETY ACT. AS A FORMER
CLASSROOM TEACHER. IT BREAKS MY
HEART. EVERY TIME I HEAR OF SUCH
TRAGEDIES IN OUR CLASSROOMS IN
OUR SCHOOLS AND THE DEPTH OF THE
TRAUMA THAT NOT ONLY OUR
STUDENTS HAVE TO FACE BUT ALSO
OUR TEACHERS AND OUR SCHOOL
COMMUNITY AT LARGE. AND AS A
VICTIM'S ADVOCATE. AND AN
ADVOCATE WHO SITS WITH PARENTS,
OFTEN WHO HAVE LOST CHILDREN. AS
THEIR GUNNED DOWN BY THEIR
ABUSERS, OR THEY'RE SEPARATING
PARTNERS. IT ALSO PAINTS ME THAT
WE CONTINUE TO SEE THIS MORE AND
MORE OFTEN. SO WE MUST CONTINUE
TO PUSH FOR REFORMS AND I'M AS
CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR SOLUTIONS
AND FUNDING TO SUPPORT VIOLENT
PREVENTION PROGRAMS. THIS BILL
IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ME
AND TO SO MANY VICTIMS OUT
THERE. ESPECIALLY THOSE PARENTS
OF MURDERED CHILDREN WHOSE
CHILDREN ARE GUNNED DOWN OFTEN.
A B 28 WILL HELP FUND SCHOOL
SECURITY IMPROVEMENTS. IT WILL
HELP FUND COUNSELING FOR VICTIMS
OF MASS SHOOTINGS. AND HOW FUND
COURT PROGRAMS THAT REMOVE GUNS
FROM PEOPLE WITH RESTRAINING
ORDERS AGAINST THEM, SUCH AS
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ABUSERS,
POLICE CHIEFS AND OTHER PUBLIC
SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORT
THIS MEASURE, AND THAT'S RARE TO
HAVE PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES
SUPPORTING SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
IT'S AN INDICATION OF HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO OUR
COMMUNITIES. TO OUR STATE AND
OUR NATION. I CONTINUE TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THOSE
FAMILIES THAT ARE STILL GRIEVING
FROM THE LOSS OF LOVED ONES THAT
WERE VIOLENTLY BRUTALLY GUNNED
DOWN AND I HEAR TOO MANY STORIES
OF CHILDREN WHO CONTINUE TO HAVE
TRAUMA BECAUSE THEY WITNESS
THOSE TRAGEDIES. WE MUST DO
SOMETHING TO SUPPORT OUR
COMMUNITIES AND VIOLENT
PREVENTION PROGRAMS IN THIS BILL
DOES JUST THAT THIS BILL WILL
SAVE LIVES, AND I THINK OUR
COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY OUR
CHILDREN ARE WORTH IT. SO I URGE
AND I VOTE. THANK YOU. NEXT UP,
SENATOR NILO. WE'LL GO TO THE
NEW SCHOOL PRONUNCIATION. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, MR PRESIDENT. I
WANNA COMPLIMENT MY. COLLEAGUE
AND FRIEND FROM BURBANK FOR A
PASSIONATE SPEECH. AND THE OTHER
COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL. ALMOST CONVINCES ME. BUT
THEN I THOUGHT ABOUT A COUPLE OF
POINTS. FIRST OF ALL, IT'S
PRESENTED AS A MODEST TAX. WELL.
11% REALLY IS NOT MODEST,
PARTICULARLY WITH REGARD TO, UH
, THE SORTS OF CONSUMERS THAT MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BIEBER CITED, UM
AND ALSO WAS STATED THAT THE
INDUSTRY MAKES SUCH PROFITS THAT
THEY SHOULD PAY, BUT WE KNOW
SELLERS DON'T PAY TAXES, BUYERS
PAY TAXES, AND I'D REFER TO MY
PREVIOUS COMMENT. SO WE HAVE A
PROGRAM THAT THIS WILL FUND THAT
IS SEEMINGLY AND THEN
QUESTIONABLE WERE THE
EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS. AND FOR
SAKE OF ARGUMENT, I'LL GRANT
THAT POINT. THE LAST FIVE YEARS
, WE HAVE HAD HUGE SURPLUSES IN
OUR BUDGET, AND I WOULD JUST ASK
THE QUESTION. WHERE WAS THIS
PROPOSAL? THIS UH WERE THE
SPENDING OF FUNDS FOR A PROGRAM
PROPOSED IN A BUDGET ITEM WHEN
WE HAD HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OF SURPLUS I CAN'T
SUPPORT THIS BILL AS IT'S
WRITTEN. ALRIGHT I'VE GOT
SECTOR-LIMÓN BLAKE SPEAR POTATO
LIMÓN. THANK YOU MEMBERS. I RISE
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF A B 28 AN
ACT RELATED TO PREVENTION,
HEALING AND RECOVERY. ON
DECEMBER 14TH OF 2012. I WAS THE
SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT FOR SANTA
BARBARA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
WHEN THE SANDY HOOK MASSACRE
HAPPENED. ON MAY 23RD OF 2014. I
WORKED AT UC SANTA BARBARA. WHEN
I LOVE ESTÁ MASSACRE HAPPENED.
THIS BILL IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY
COUNTING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE AS
THOSE THAT HAVE DIED. IT LOOKS
AT THE IMPACT THAT COMMUNITIES
AS A WHOLE HAVE EXPERIENCED
AFTER GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. AS A LEADER WHO
WITNESSED TWO MASSACRES. AND WHO
UNDERSTANDS THAT THE IMPACT IS
MUCH BROADER THAN COMMUNITIES.
IT'S FOR STUDENTS. BUT IT'S ALSO
FOR ADULTS AND PARENTS. THE
NUMBER OF PARENTS THAT CAME TO
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD
MEETING AFTER THE SANDY HOOK
MASSACRE WAS REAL. THEY WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT SCHOOLS WERE DOING.
TO KEEP OUR COMMUNITY THEIR KIDS
THEIR LOVED ONES SAFE. I LOVE
VISTA. WHEN MY PHONE STARTED
RINGING AT 10 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT
WHEN THE SHOOTING HAD HAPPENED,
AND IT RANG UNTIL 5 A.M. I KNOW
WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE SOMEONE
THAT WORKS WITH A GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT YOU'RE TRACKING DOWN
TO SEE IF THEY ARE STILL ALIVE.
WERE THEY IMPACTED? THOSE
MOMENTS ARE MOMENTS THAT I AM SO
MANY OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES HAVE EXPERIENCE AND
IT IS THOSE MOMENTS THAT REQUIRE
INVESTMENTS TO HEAL TO PROTECT.
TO PREVENT AND TO RECOVER. THAT
IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. I KNOW
THAT THE FIGHT IS BEING, YOU
KNOW, PROPOSED OR DISCUSSED AS
JUST ATTACKS. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE
TAX THAT WE HAVE? ON OUR
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE BEARING THE
BRUNT OF RECOVERY AND PAIN. SO
I'M HERE TO SUPPORT THIS, BUT
ALSO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
UNDERSTAND. BUT IT IS NOT JUST
ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT A BULLET
HAS HAD ON ONE PERSON, BUT IT
IMPACT THAT A BULLET HAS HAD ON
SO MANY IN OUR COMMUNITIES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AS I VOTE
ON A B 28. THANK YOU COLLEAGUES
. I RISE IN STRONG SUPPORT OF A
B 28 BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY, GUN
VIOLENCE IS THE CAUSE OF
INCREDIBLE, UNNECESSARY
SUFFERING. TO ME, IT MAKES SENSE
THAT FIREARMS DEALERS,
MANUFACTURERS AND VENDORS ARE
THE SOURCE OF FUNDING, GUN
VIOLENCE PREVENTION AND RECOVERY
FUNDING. AS ANOTHER MEMBER OF
THE GOVERNANCE AND FINANCE
COMMITTEE. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO
HIGHLIGHT THAT THIS IN NO WAY
TAXES STUDENT ATHLETES OUT OF
THEIR SPORT. THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT BILL THAT WE SUPPORT
TODAY. A B 28 AND I URGE YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU, SENATOR DONE.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I RISE
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF A B 28. I
KNOW THAT MOST OF YOU PROBABLY
KNOW BY NOW THAT I AM A FIRM, UM
, SUPPORTER OF OUR SECOND
AMENDMENT, BUT. THIS IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT. A B 28 IS SOMETHING
THAT CALIFORNIA NEEDS IS
SOMETHING THAT MY
SENATE-DISTRICT NEEDS. AND I
WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU. WHY? UM
IN 2020. THERE WERE TWO YOUNG
GIRLS IN THE CITY OF DELANA THAT
WERE SHOT AND MURDERED. THEIR
AGES. 11 AND 12. TO THIS DAY,
ILIANA AND MICHAELA. DESERVE
JUSTICE. AND THEY'RE KILLERS ARE
STILL ON THE LOOSE 11 AND 12
YEARS OLD. THERE IS NO
JUSTIFICATION. YES IT'S A FEE OR
TAX WHATEVER YOU MAY WANT TO
CALL IT ON THE MANUFACTURER'S
BUT I DON'T SEE WHY ANY GUN
OWNER SHOULD BE OPPOSED TO THIS
BECAUSE IT IS A REAL ISSUE, AND
THIS IS NOT AN ATTACK ON GUNS OR
AN ATTACK ON THE SECOND
AMENDMENT. THIS IS IT. THIS IS A
BILL THAT IS GOING TO ADDRESS AN
ISSUE THAT IS OUT THERE AND
THERE'S REALLY WHEN IT COMES TO
OUR CHILDREN. WE NEED TO BE
DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO
PROTECT THEM. AND SO AND IN
MEMORY OF THE TWO YOUNG GIRLS
THAT WERE MURDERED. UH IN
DELANOE, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
MY VOTE. THANK YOU, SENATOR
EGGMAN. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT
. I ALSO RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL. JANUARY 17TH 1989 WAS THE
FIRST MASS SCHOOL SHOOTING IN
THE UNITED STATES THAT WAS AT
CLEVELAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN
STOCKTON. WHERE 56 CHILDREN, SIX
KINDERGARTEN, SIX ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL CHILDREN WERE KILLED. 32
PEOPLE WERE WOUNDED. I CAN TELL
YOU THAT MEMORY IN THE STOCKTON
FABRIC IS SEARED INTO THE FABRIC
OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE WOMAN WHO
DOES MY HAIR IMMIGRANT FROM
CAMBODIA, WHERE SHE TALKS ABOUT
HER MOM CARRYING HER. ACROSS TWO
COUNTRIES WHEN SHE WAS A BABY TO
GET TO THE LAND OF FREEDOM TO
THE U. S. AND REMEMBERING BEING
A KINDERGARTENER AND EVERYBODY
BEING UNDER THEIR DESK AND
HAVING HER TEACHER LAY ON HER
BACK WITH HER FEET AGAINST UP
AGAINST THE DOOR TO KEEP THE
SHOOTER OUT. THINK ABOUT HOW
MANY YEARS AGO THAT WAS AND HOW
IT IS STILL SEARED INTO PEOPLE'S
MEMORIES AND NEVER FORGOTTEN.
THERE WAS A GROUP OF TEACHERS
THAT MOBILIZES RETIRED NOW THE
PRINCIPLE OF VARIOUS TEACHERS,
BUT THEY FORMED A GROUP CALLED
CLEVELAND REMEMBERS. I'M SURE
SOME OF YOU HAVE MET WITH THEM
BECAUSE THEY ARE A GROUP OF
LADIES WHO JUST DON'T QUIT ABOUT
TRYING TO TALK ABOUT GUN
VIOLENCE, THE DANGERS ASSOCIATED
AND THE INVESTMENTS WE NEED TO
MAKE INTO OUR COMMUNITIES AND TO
OUR KIDS. TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THE SUPPORT THEY NEED AND THE
HEALING THAT THEY NEED AFTER
THESE INCREDIBLY VIOLENT
EPISODES. 11% TAX. YEP THAT'S
HIGH. I KNOW. I HAVE A LOT OF
FRIENDS WHO ARE GUN OWNERS. I
HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE GUN
OWNERS. I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
WHO HAS GOT A LOCKER WITH A LOT
OF GUNS. CAN AFFORD TO PAY SOME
TAX TAX THAT GOES TOWARDS
HELPING THE DAMAGE THAT OCCURS
FROM GUN VIOLENCE. LET'S NOT
FORGET CLEVELAND REMEMBERS.
SENATOR ASHBY AND THEN SENATOR
PADILLA. YESTERDAY ON THIS FLOOR
WE TALKED ABOUT OUR KIDS
ROUTINELY DOING ACTIVE SHOOTER
DRILLS IN SCHOOL. AND WE TALKED
ABOUT ARCHITECTS DESIGNING
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMPUSES. THEY
GIVE STUDENTS AS YOUNG AS FOUR
AND FIVE YEARS OLD PLACES TO
HIDE. IF THEY SHOULD EVER HAVE
TO IMPLEMENT THOSE ACTIVE
SHOOTER DRILLS THAT THEY LEARNED
TODAY. THE SENATOR FROM PASADENA
BRINGS US A MECHANISM TO ADDRESS
GUN VIOLENCE. LIKE SO MANY
AMERICANS. I TO HUG MY LITTLE
DAUGHTER EACH MORNING AS I
DROPPED HER OFF AT SCHOOL. AND
AS I DRIVE AWAY I PUSH OUT OF MY
MIND THE UNTHINKABLE. OTHERWISE.
IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO
FACE THE TASKS I'M RESPONSIBLE
FOR EVERY DAY. AND I PRAY THAT
SHE WILL SAFELY RETURNED TO MY
ARMS. IN THE AFTERNOON. SO MANY
OF US ON THIS FLOOR HAVE SERVED
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. AND I'M SURE
EACH HAVE DIRECTLY DEALT WITH
GUN VIOLENCE VICTIMS. FOR ME. IT
WAS A SWEET YOUNG LIBRARIAN. SHE
WAS MURDERED AFTER WORK ONE DAY
ON HER WAY TO HER CAR. BY A
DISGRUNTLED LIBRARY PATRON. HER
NAME WAS AMBER. ON BEHALF OF
AMBER. MY DAUGHTER. AND ALL THE
CHILDREN IN CALIFORNIA. I URGE
AN AYE. VOTE ON A B 28. THANK
YOU, SENATOR PADILLA, THEN
SENATOR SARTO CENTER VIDEO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR
PRESIDENT IS PROUD CO AUTHOR I
RISE IN STRONG SUPPORT. I WOULD
JUST SAY IN MY VERY YOUNG DAYS,
I HAD THE UNFORTUNATE
EXPERIENCE. OF UNDERSTANDING
WHAT IT IS LIKE TO BE ON THE
RECEIVING END OF GUNFIRE. BUT I
HAD THE OBLIGATION AND THE
TRAINING AND THE EQUIPMENT. TO
INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF OTHERS
AND TO PROTECT MYSELF. IT'S AN
EXPERIENCE. OF COURSE I WOULD
NEVER FORGET. I CAN'T FATHOM
WHAT IT IS LIKE. FOR THE MOST
YOUNG AND TENDER AND PRECIOUS
AMONG US. WHO DESERVE NOTHING
LESS. THAN A SAFE. AND POSITIVE.
ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO LEARN
HAVING TO GO TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY
AND CONSIDER THIS POTENTIAL
ISSUE. IN THAT ENVIRONMENT. WHEN
WE WERE ALL YOUNG AND IN SCHOOL
AND ELEMENTARY, IN OTHER WORDS,
THE LAST THING ON OUR MINDS WAS
WORRYING THAT SOME CRAZED
INDIVIDUAL WHAT? INTERRUPT THAT
ENVIRONMENT WITH VIOLENCE. I
CAN'T FATHOM IT AS A FATHER. AND
VERY NEARLY POTENTIALLY A
GRANDFATHER. I CAN'T FATHOM.
THAT WE WOULDN'T TAKE EVERY
SINGLE OPPORTUNITY. TO ASSESS
APPROPRIATE POLICY AND CREATE
REVENUE STREAMS THAT GO TOWARDS
CREATING BETTER AND SAFER
ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE MOST
PRECIOUS AND VULNERABLE AMONG
US, MR PRESIDENT, COLLEAGUES
ORIGIN I VOTE. THANK YOU,
SENATOR SARTO. MHM THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. SO SADLY, FOLKS, I,
UH I DO RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL, AND WHY? BECAUSE IT'S
INEFFECTIVE. IT'S NOT GOING TO
DO ANYTHING TO CURB GUN
VIOLENCE. IT'S NOT GOING TO GET
ILLEGAL GUNS OFF THE STREET. THE
PROGRAMS, AND MANY OF THEM ARE
GREAT PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUT
THERE. CALVET. THAT WAS FUNDED
IN 2022 AT $156 MILLION, AND YET
WE JUST HEARD TODAY. THAT GUN
VIOLENCE IS GOING UP, NOT DOWN.
AMONGST OUR YOUNG PEOPLE, AND
THAT'S WHAT IT'S AIMED AT. SO
YEAH, WE PROBABLY NEED MORE
PROGRAMS LIKE THAT. BUT WHAT IT
SAYS IS THAT'S NOT WHERE THE
VIOLENCE IS COMING FROM. NOW.
ASIDE FROM MY COLLEAGUES. WHO
SERVED IN ACTIVE MILITARY DUTY.
MY GOOD COLLEAGUES. SERVED IN
THE POLICE POLICE SERVICE
PROBABLY SEEN MORE GUN VIOLENCE
THAN ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM. I'VE
TREATED MORE PEOPLE. I WISH I
COULD NAME THEM, BUT I CAN'T.
BECAUSE THERE'S HUNDREDS OF
THEM. IN MY 35 YEAR CAREER.
THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THEM. THOSE
PEOPLE ARE NOT PEOPLE. THAT.
WERE VICTIMS OF WHAT LAW ABIDING
CITIZENS. THOSE ARE GUNS THAT
CAME HERE. AND WE'RE POSSESSED
BY PEOPLE THAT DON'T FOLLOW THE
RULES. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO PAY
AN 11% EXCISE TAX. SO. I WANT TO
REITERATE THAT THIS THING DOES
NOTHING. TO CURB GUN VIOLENCE.
AND THE PEOPLE WHO WHO
ILLEGALLY. MORE INCLINED TO BE
INVOLVED IN USING GUNS FOR
VIOLENT ACTS REMAIN UNFAZED BY
THIS THIS, UH, THIS BILL. THE
PROGRAMS CREATED. THAT NEED THE
REVENUE OR ALREADY BEING THEY'RE
ALREADY IN EXISTENCE, AND
THEY'RE ALREADY BEING FUNDED.
ONE OF THOSE PROGRAMS. THE GUN
BUYBACK PROGRAM. $25 MILLION.
BUDGET SUB. FIVE WE KICKED THAT
$25 MILLION INTO A PROGRAM TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF PEOPLE THAT
AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE GUNS.
AND TRYING TO GO AFTER THOSE
FOLKS. BUT GUESS WHAT. THEY
REFUNDED THE OTHER PROGRAM, THE
GUN BUYBACK PROGRAM. YOU KNOW
WHY THAT WAS UNFUNDED BECAUSE
IT'S INEFFECTIVE. THERE'S PRO
THERE'S STUDY AFTER STUDY THAT
SHOWS THE GUN BUYBACK PROGRAM
DOES NOTHING. THERE'S NOTHING TO
CURB AND IN FACT IF SOMEBODY
USES A GUN AND KILL SOMEBODY.
THEY CAN ACTUALLY TAKE IT TO THE
GUN BUYBACK PROGRAM. TURN IT IN
AND THAT GUN GETS DESTROYED AND
THERE GOES THE EVIDENCE. SO WHY
ARE WE DOING? WHY ARE WE TRYING
TO TAX PEOPLE JUST ONE SET OF
PEOPLE PEOPLE THAT ARE
EXERCISING A CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT. WE'RE SIGNAL, SINGLING
THEM OUT. TO PAY. FOR EXERCISING
THEIR RIGHT. THERE'S AN 11%
FEDERAL TAXES AND ANOTHER 11.
THEY IF THEY HAD THIS 1 11% FOR
THAT, AND THEN ANOTHER 8% 30.
ATTACKS ON PEOPLE WHO ARE
EXERCISING A CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT. ACTUALLY HAVE NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE GUN VIOLENCE. IT'S
OUT THERE. UNTIL WE START
ATTACKING THE REAL PROBLEM. AND
WHICH STILL WASTE UNTIL WE START
GOING AFTER WHERE THOSE ILLEGAL
GUNS ARE COMING FROM. AND
HOLDING THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
THOSE ILLEGAL GUNS ACCOUNTABLE.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO
ANYTHING, ALL OF THESE
PASSIONATE STORIES. WE AGREE
WITH YOU. I AGREE WITH YOU. I
HATE IT. I HATE THIS GUN
VIOLENCE. IT'S OUT THERE. BUT
THIS IS NOT GOING TO FIX IT.
WHAT'S GOING TO FIX IT IS THAT
FACING THE REALITY OF WHERE THIS
VIOLENCE IS COMING FROM WHO'S
PERPETRATING IT. HOLDING THEM
ACCOUNTABLE AND ENSURING THAT WE
DON'T HAVE THIS. FREE FLOW OF
ILLEGAL WEAPONS. COMING INTO THE
UNITED STATES. AND BEING
DISTRIBUTED. ON THE BLACK
MARKET. THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T
HAVE GUNS. FOLKS I ASKED YOU TO
OPPOSE THIS BILL BECAUSE IT DOES
NOTHING. AND IF IT DOES NOTHING
IF IT'S NOT NEEDED TO FUND
PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALREADY BEING
FUNDED, AND SOME OF THE PROGRAMS
THAT THEY WANT TO FUND ARE
ABSOLUTELY INEFFECTIVE. THEN ALL
WE'RE REALLY DOING IS PUNISHING
PEOPLE. FOR EXERCISING THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. AND THAT'S
WRONG. SO, FOLKS. I ASK YOU TO
OPPOSE THIS BILL. AND LET'S
START ATTACKING THE REAL
PROBLEM. BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU
THAT CONSERVATIVES ARE WITH YOU.
WE DON'T LIKE GUN VIOLENCE. BUT
WE'RE BUT WHERE WE OPPOSE IS
THAT THERE IS THE WAY TO GO
ABOUT ADDRESSING. IT HAS TO BE
MORE THAN JUST TELLING PEOPLE
HEARTBREAKING STORIES. AND
SAYING, I EMPATHIZE WITH THE
THOSE POOR PEOPLE. LOOK WHAT
HAPPENED TO THEM AND ACTUALLY
DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE REAL
CAUSE. AND WE'RE NOT DOING THAT
. WE HAVEN'T DONE IT IN THE
THREE YEARS THAT I'VE BEEN UP
HERE. SO THIS BILL HAS BEEN HERE
THREE TIMES NOW. AND YOU KNOW,
HERE WE ARE ANOTHER SHOT. I
ASKED, YOU OPPOSED AND THANK YOU
FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS.
SENATOR ALVARADO KILL.
PERMISSION TO ASK A QUESTION OF
THE AUTHOR. YES. GO AHEAD. UM
YOU CITED A STATISTIC OF GUN
VIOLENCE BEING THE LEADER, THE
NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH IN
CHILDREN IN CALIFORNIA. CAN YOU
CITE YOUR SOURCE ON THAT? DO WE
HAVE TO SOURCE? SOURCE ON GUN
VIOLENCE DEATHS. C. D. C. OKAY
SO, UM, THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO
I'M I COMING FROM AN ACADEMIC
BACKGROUND AND YES, PUBLIC
SCHOOL GRADUATE IN CALIFORNIA.
UM FOR ME, I TEND TO ANALYZE THE
LEGISLATION THAT'S PUT BEFORE
US. UM OFTENTIMES I DO GET
EMOTIONAL ABOUT THINGS AND I
BRING MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE AND
PARTICULARLY ON THIS ISSUE,
WHICH IS SO DIVISIVE ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. I WANT TO FOCUS ON
FACTS. TO REMIND YOU THAT THE
REST OF THE BACON'S THROUGH THE
PRESIDING OFFICER, NOT EXCUSE
ME. SO FOR ME, UM. I ALSO WANTED
TO SEE WHERE THIS INFORMATION
CAME FROM AND LOOKING AT THE
PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE OF
CALIFORNIA, UM, UNDER THE GUN
VIOLENCE ARCHIVES, I WAS ABLE TO
CITE RECENT DATA FROM 2020
SHOWING THAT FIREARM INJURY
DEATH RATES OF NINE PER 100,000.
IS WHAT'S ACCURATE. DRUG
OVERDOSE 1000 IN ADDITION TO
THAT, I ALSO WENT TO THE C D. C
A TRUSTED SOURCE. THE CENTERS
FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND
PREVENTION. AND LOOKED AT THE
NATIONAL CENTER FOR HEALTH
STATISTICS ON CALIFORNIA. AND
WAS EVEN MORE SURPRISED. Tð SEE
PERMISSION TO READ. PERMISSION
GRANTED. A DEPICTION, SAYING
THAT CALIFORNIA HAS THE LOWEST
MASS SHOOTING VICTIMIZATION
RATES AMONG THE MOST POPULOUS
STATES. NOT THE FIRST. BUT ONE
OF THE LOWEST. SO WHEN I TAKE A
LOOK AT THIS VERY SENSITIVE
ISSUE DON'T GET ME WRONG BECAUSE
ONE DEATH OF A CHILD IS TOO
MANY. BUT I FEEL THAT WE HAVE A
DUTY TO LEGISLATE THROUGH FACTS
AND NOT FEAR. I ALSO I BELIEVE
THAT WE HAVE A DUTY. TO ASSIGN
AN APPROPRIATE. MONEY TO
PREVENTION PROGRAMS SO THAT WE
ARE NOT HAVING FLOOR DEBATES
ABOUT SAVING LIVES OF CHILDREN.
IN A STATE THAT IS SO WEALTHY AS
CALIFORNIA. WITH RESIDENTS AS
CARING AND LOVING AS
CALIFORNIANS ARE FOR ME TO SEE A
BILL THAT HAS TO PUT MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS TOWARDS PREVENTION FOR
OUR LIVES OF OUR KIDS IS SIMPLY
WRONG. SO BECAUSE OF THE FACTS.
ON THIS BILL. I'LL BE STAYING
OFF. THANK YOU. SENATOR GLASER.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS
AS I LISTENED TO THE DEBATE HERE
ON THE FLOOR, IT REMINDED ME OF
AN IMPORTANT CALIFORNIA HISTORY
STORY THAT'S WORTH MENTIONING
TODAY. ESPECIALLY AS WE TRY TO
FIGURE OUT SOMETHING THAT WE ALL
ARE IN AGREEMENT ON WHICH IS
THIS PLAGUE OF GUN VIOLENCE IN
OUR IN OUR STATE. IN 1989 IS THE
STORY WAS EXPLAINED BY THE
SENATOR FROM STOCKTON'S WE HAD
THAT TERRIBLE SCHOOLYARD
SHOOTING. AND A STATE LEADER. AT
THAT TIME DID SOMETHING THAT I
THINK HE THOUGHT HE WOULD NEVER
DO IN HIS CAREER EVER. AND THAT
WAS TO SIGN A BILL. BANNING
ASSAULT WEAPONS IN CALIFORNIA
AND THAT REPUBLICAN LEADER WAS
GEORGE SUPERVISION. HE HAD TO
STEP OUT OF HIS COMFORT ZONE.
AND DO YOU THINK THAT HE SAW
THIS AS SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF
GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR STATE? I
DON'T THINK SO. I DON'T THINK
SO. BUT HE'S HE SAW THE SAME
THING. WE ALL SAW THE TRAGEDIES.
THIS MASS SHOOTING. AND OF
COURSE IN OUR LIFETIME, SO MANY
MASS SHOOTINGS AND HE DECIDED
THEN AND IT'S WHAT I DECIDE
TODAY, WHICH IS THAT YOU CAN'T
SAY ONE THING IS GOING TO SOLVE
THE WHOLE PROBLEM. BUT IT'S
CERTAINLY CAN HELP. IN A SMALL
WAY IN A MEDIUM WAY. BUT IT'S
THE SAME REALIZATION THAT WE ALL
HAVE THAT SAYING OUR THOUGHTS
AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO THE FAMILY
AND THE COMMUNITY. AFTER
VIOLENCE AFTER VIOLENCE AFTER
VIOLENCE. UM, ISN'T REALLY
ENOUGH. AND SO FOR ME THE
MEASURE THIS MEASURE ISN'T GOING
TO SOLVE EVERY PROBLEM ISN'T
GOING TO FUND ALL THE PROGRAMS
THAT NEED TO GET FUNDED. BUT
IT'S A STEP. IT'S AN IMPORTANT
SMALL STEP. THAT FOR ME MAKES
THIS VOTE AN EASY ONE AND URGENT
. I VOTE ON A B 28. SENATOR
MENJIVAR. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. A COUPLE WEEKS AGO, I
JOINED SENATOR FROM B BIRTH
SENATOR FROM NAPA AT THE OUTDOOR
CAUCUS EVENT. I AM AN INDIVIDUAL
WHO ENJOYS SHOOTING. I GOT A
SHOOTING RANGES, AND THAT DAY I
WAS ABLE TO SHOOT A LEAVE IN 18
67 TRAPDOOR MUSKET. THERE WAS A
LOT OF FUN. DID ARCHERY TRAP
SHOOTING NINE MILLIMETERS. MY
HISTORY AND BACKGROUND IN THE
MILITARY HAS ALLOWED ME TO SHOOT
SEVERAL WEAPONS AND SEE THE END
RESULTS OF THE VARIOUS
AMMUNITIONS AND SO FORTH. I
ENJOY IT. I RECENTLY SPOKE WITH
THE MINORITY MINORITY LEADER AND
I MY REASONING TO AS A CO AUTHOR
OF THIS BILL, AND WHY I'M
SUPPORTING AND THIS IS BECAUSE I
UNDERSTAND THE LAW ABIDING GUN
OWNERS, YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO
BE IMPACT ON ON THEM. BUT IN THE
MILITARY, WE HAVE THE SAME WHEN
THE 10% MESSES UP. IT'S THE
ENTIRE PLATOON'S OR THE ENTIRE
BODY THAT HAS TO TAKE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE 10. WE
HAVE RULES BECAUSE ONE PERSON
CAN MESS IT UP FOR THE REST OF
THE GROUP. THAT RULE IS NOT JUST
IMPLY APPLIED TO THAT ONE
PERSON. IT'S APPLIED TO THE
WHOLE BODY. THE SENATOR FROM
YOUR ETA. YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS
ISN'T THE END OFF. TO THIS
SITUATION. THIS IS NOT GOING TO
STOP EVERYTHING. I AGREE WITH
YOU THAT WE NEED TO DO OTHER
THINGS AND OTHER AVENUES. I'M A
STRONG BELIEVER IN THAT AS WELL.
BUT I DO THINK AS LAW ABIDING
GUN OWNERS STEPPING UP AND
TAKING AND ALLOWING TO SAY YOU
KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE RIGHT. I'M I'M
ALLOWED ABIDING INDIVIDUAL LIKE
THE CENTER FROM STOCKTON SAID.
MY COUSIN HAS ALL THIS. YOU KNOW
THE LAW ABIDING GOING TO STEP UP
AND TAKE SOME RESPONSE, NOT TAKE
SOME RESPONSIBILITY. ABSORB
THAT. 11% TAX BECAUSE WHAT'S
HAPPENING? IS HORRENDOUS. IT'S
GOING TO BE VERY HARD TO TAX THE
ILLEGAL WEAPONS BECAUSE WHERE
ARE WE GOING TO FIND THEM? I
FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THIS 11%
TAX TO PAY THAT TAX. BECAUSE IT
IS GOING TO GO INTO PROGRAMS AND
I DISAGREE WITH THE SENATOR FROM
MISSOURI TO THE GUN BY THE BUD
BUYBACK GUN PROGRAM WORKS IN MY
DISTRICT. LAPD ABSORBS TAKES ON
SO MANY WEAPONS EACH TIME THIS
PROGRAM HAPPENS IN MY DISTRICT.
THE PROGRAMS ARE NEEDED. AND
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN A
YEAR OR A COUPLE OF YEARS OF
BUDGET DEFICIT AND WE'RE LOOKING
FOR AVENUES TO FUND THESE KIND
OF PROGRAMS. THAT I FEEL AS
SOMEONE WHO ENJOYS THIS SPORT.
THAT I WOULD TAKE THAT ON. TO
HELP FUND PROGRAMS TO PREVENT
ONE MORE LIFE DYING. SO WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY
VOTE. THANK YOU, SENATOR DODD.
YES, MR PRESIDENT MEMBERS. I'M
NOT GETTING UP ON THE FLOOR
TODAY TO TALK PEOPLE INTO
CHANGING THEIR VOTE. WHATEVER IT
IS, I HAVE A FEELING THAT WITH
THE VOTES ARE HERE TODAY. OR
THIS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN BROUGHT
UP. THAT SAID, I WANT TO GIVE
THE REASON WHY I'M NOT
SUPPORTING THIS BILL. BECAUSE
I'M REPRESENTING 70,000 LICENSED
DUCK HUNTERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. WHOSE VOICES HAVE
NOT BEEN HEARD IN THIS. SIMPLY
PUT. THERE ARE SMALL PERCENTAGE
OF THE OVERALL NUMBER. I APPLAUD
THE BILL'S AUTHOR. HERE I
CONSIDER HIM A GOOD FRIEND. HE
CAME INTO MY OFFICE AND WE HAD
AN HONEST DISCUSSION TOGETHER,
SO THERE'S NO YOU KNOW, HEART
THERE. THERE'S NO HEARTBURN OR
ANYTHING OVER THAT. I THINK
THERE WAS A WAY OF EXCLUDING
THESE 70,000 DUCK HUNTERS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WHO BY THE
WAY, A LOT OF KIDS AND ALREADY
THESE PEOPLE ARE PAYING 30% OR
SO OF EXCISE TAX ON SHOTGUN
SHELLS FOR CONSERVATION. IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION
PROGRAMS AND FRANKLY, I LOOK AT
THIS IS SOMETHING WHEN YOU ADD
ANOTHER 11% ON ALL IT'S GONNA DO
IS DECREASE THE NUMBER OF YOUNG
HUNTERS AND SOONER OR LATER THIS
WILL BE LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE
TOBACCO TAX, AND SOONER OR LATER
THIS MONEY IS GOING TO GO DOWN,
DOWN DOWN. BECAUSE LET'S FACE
IT. THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
PISTOLS AND THOSE PEOPLE THAT
SHOOT DEER OR WHATEVER THEY
DECIDED TO SHOOT. UM ARE NOT
USING A LOT OF AMMO. AND SO THIS
THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT I
HAVE REALLY STRONG FEELINGS.
DUCK HUNTERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA I'D DO I HAVE A
DIFFERENT POINT OF VIEW. I
SUPPORT FUNDING THESE MENTAL
HEALTH PROGRAMS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. I REALLY DO. AND I
THINK THIS ONE COULD HAVE
HAPPENED. IT COULD HAVE HAD MY
SUPPORT IF THEY HAD IF THEY HAD
JUST EXEMPTED THESE DUCK
HUNTERS. BUT I WILL AGREE WITH
MY FRIEND FROM FAIR OAKS. WE DID
HAVE SERIOUS BUDGET SURPLUSES.
WHERE WAS THE DISCUSSION OF
THESE BILLS? OVER THE LAST 2345
YEARS. AND SO. YOU KNOW, AT THE
END OF THE DAY I SUPPORT THESE
PROGRAMS WHOLEHEARTEDLY. THEY
NEED TO BE FUNDED. BUT I THINK
WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL OF HOW WE
FIND THEM AND WHO WHO WE TARGET.
SENATOR CORTESI. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I TOO WILL BE STAYING
OFF THIS BILL TODAY. AND IT'S
NOT BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT
THOSE PROGRAMS THAT ARE OUTLINED
, CERTAINLY MET WITH THE AUTHOR
AND TALKED ABOUT THOSE AT LENGTH
. I HAVE A STRONG, STRONG HINDER
HISTORY, ESPECIALLY IN SANTA
CLARA COUNTY OF STANDING UP
PROGRAMS VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE
THAT WOULD BE FUNDED BY THIS
BILL IF SIGNED INTO LAW. THE
PROGRAMS ARE NOT A PROBLEM. THE
IDEA THAT THIS IS NOT A PASS
THROUGH TO THE CONSUMER IS A
PROBLEM. IT IS A PASS THROUGH
THE CONSUMER, AND, FRANKLY, IT'S
DISINGENUOUS TO SAY IT'S
ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT. SO
THEN YOU HAVE TO COME TO THE
CONCLUSION. NOT THAT THOSE
CONSUMERS WHO ARE A FRACTION OF
OUR 40 MILLION POPULATION. NOT
THAT THEY CAN'T AFFORD IT. BUT
BUT THAT THERE'S NOT UM, EQUITY
IN THE DISTRIBUTION OF THIS. IT
IS EASY, EASY FOR US ON THIS
ISSUE, OR ANY NUMBER OF ISSUES
TO SAY. UM I DON'T HAVE TO PAY
THIS TAX. I'M NOT GOING TO PICK
UP THIS PASS THROUGH MORE THAN
HAPPY, THOUGH, TO TAX THE PEOPLE
THAT DO HAVE TO DO IT. AND
THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT MANY
ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ANSWER. NOT
I DON'T THINK THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE IN VERY URBANIZED DISTRICTS.
BUT I THINK FOLKS WHO DO GO UP
ON THIS BILL, WHO ARE NOT AN
URBANIZED DISTRICTS ARE GOING TO
FACE THE QUESTION OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN. WHY ARE ALL OF
US PAYING FOR THESE PROGRAMS?
WHY IS IT THAT YOU VOTED FOR
THIS BILL TO CHARGE ME TO PAY
FOR PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT 40
MILLION PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA,
BUT YOU'RE UNWILLING TO DO THAT
YOURSELF. WHO'S PAYING THE TAX.
WHO IN THIS ROOM WILL PAY THAT
PASSED THROUGH IN THIS CHAMBERS.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE LARGER
POINT MADE BY THE SENATOR FROM
FAIR OAKS. BY OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
FAIR OAKS. NOT SO MUCH THAT ONE
TIME MONEY OR SURPLUSES SHOULD
HAVE BEEN USED FOR THIS. BUT IF
THIS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST
PROBLEMS FACING CALIFORNIA IN
THE COUNTRY, AND I AGREE WITH
THE AUTHOR IN THE FOUR JOCKEY
TODAY THAT IT IS THEN WHY IN THE
HELL ISN'T EVERYONE PAYING FOR
IT? BUT WHY IS IT THAT A
FRACTION OF THE COMMUNITY IS
EXPECTED TO BEAR THE BURDEN. OF
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CRISIS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, A FRACTION
OF THE COMMUNITY. WHY AREN'T WE
EXTENDING THIS TO EVERYONE? I'LL
BE THE FIRST ONE TO VOTE FOR A
GENERAL TAX IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT BEEFS UP DOJ SO
THEY CAN TAKE GUNS AWAY FROM
FELONS IN THIS STATE. I'LL
SUPPORT THAT BILL HAD AUTHORED
THAT BILL HAD THOUGHT I HAD A
CHANCE. OKAY BUT THIS IS NOT
THAT THIS IS NOT THAT AND I
WANTED LIKE MY COLLEAGUE FROM
NAPA TO EXPLAIN MY VOTE. BECAUSE
I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S GOING TO
GET AWAY AFTER ALL OF THE GUN,
VIOLENCE, BILLS AND FIREARMS
BILLS THAT HAVE SUPPORTED OVER
THE LAST THREE YEARS HERE AND IN
MY HISTORY AS A LOCAL OFFICIAL,
NO ONE'S GOING TO GET AWAY WITH
SAYING THAT I DON'T CARE. ABOUT
GUN VIOLENCE OR I'M NOT WILLING
TO STOP IT. BUT I HOPE PEOPLE AT
SOME POINT WILL SAY THERE WAS A
MAN OF EQUITY WHO SAID WHEN WE
HAVE A CRISIS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, EVERYBODY SHOULD
HAVE TO PITCH IN AND PAY FOR IT.
BUT NOT JUST A FEW. THANK YOU.
SENATOR MEN THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I WASN'T PLANNING TO
SPEAK BUT UM, LOOK, I AM VERY
MINDFUL OF THE TAX BURDENS THAT
MY CONSTITUENTS FACE THAT MANY
CALIFORNIANS FACE IN. OUR
SOCIETY AND OUR ECONOMY. MANY
PEOPLE EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THEY
FEEL OVERTAXED. BUT LET'S BE
CLEAR WHAT THIS PARTICULAR
TAXES. THIS IS ATTACKS. THAT IS
TARGETED. AT A PRODUCT THAT BY
ITS VERY NATURE LEADS TO DEATH
LEADS TO TRAGEDY THAT LEADS TO
GUN VIOLENCE AND EVERY SINGLE
INSTANCE AND WE HAVE HAD MYRIAD
INCIDENTS IN ALL OF OUR
DISTRICTS HAVE GUN VIOLENCE, NOT
JUST THE MASS SHOOTINGS THAT
DOMINATE THE HEADLINES, BUT THE
SUICIDES, THE HOMICIDES, THE
INJURIES AND EVERY TIME YOU HAVE
AN INCIDENT IN GUN VIOLENCE. YOU
NOT ONLY HAVE THE ACTUAL VICTIM
BUT BUT ALL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
RELATED TO THAT VICTIM, THE
FAMILY FRIENDS. COWORKERS OF
THOSE VICTIMS ARE ALSO IMPACTED.
IN ECONOMIC PARLIAMENTS. WE
WOULD SAY THAT GUNS ARE HUGE,
HUGE, NEGATIVE EXTERNALITIES.
THEY HAVE HUGE COSTS THAT ARE
NOT BORN BY THOSE WHO PURCHASE
GUNS AND AMMUNITION. AND THAT IS
WHAT THIS TAX IS MEANT TO
ADDRESS IS THE HUGE NEGATIVE
COSTS THAT ARE NOT ABSORBED BY
GUN OWNERS OR THE PEOPLE THAT
PURCHASE THESE GUNS AND
AMMUNITION. BUT ON THE COST THAT
GET BORN BY THE REST OF US AND
IT IS, I THINK IT IS FAIR TO
LEVY THIS PARTICULAR TAX AGAIN.
I'VE BEEN VERY, VERY CAREFUL IN
MY TIME IN THE SENATE ABOUT TAX
INCREASES. I BELIEVE THIS WILL
BE THE FIRST TAX INCREASES I
VOTED FOR DURING MY TIME IN THE
SENATE, BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE TO BALANCE THE SCALES
HERE. WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE CAN
AND I WANT TO ECHO THE COMMENTS
OF MY COLLEAGUE FROM ORINDA.
THIS WILL NOT SOLVE OUR GUN
VIOLENCE PROBLEM, BUT IF IT GOES
EVEN A LITTLE BIT IF IT SAVES
ONE LIFE, IF IT HELPS PREVENT
SOME OF THE TRAGEDY THAT WE'RE
SEEING IS WORTH DOING, SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK HER. I VOTE.
CAVIAR. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT
, ALSO, UM, WASN'T GONNA STAND
UP AND SPEAK. BUT I JUST, UM I
WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR. IN
TERMS OF EXPLAINING BECAUSE I
VOTED FOR THIS IN COMMITTEE. BUT
SINCE THAT TIME I'VE HAD A
NUMBER OF VISITS. SPECIFICALLY
RELATED TO MY DISTRICT, AND I
THINK PART OF THE CHALLENGE THAT
YOU HEAR HERE IS THAT WE ALL
HAVE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS, AND
THERE HAS TO BE RESPECT PAID. TO
THE FACT THAT THAT WE DO HAVE
DIFFERENT DISTRICTS. AND WE NEED
TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE HOW DO
WE PAY FOR THINGS THAT WE THINK
ARE REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE THERE'S JUST NO QUESTION
IN MY MIND THAT THAT PUBLIC
SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF
CHILDREN AND, UM AND THE SAFETY
OF OUR COMMUNITIES TO BE FREE TO
BE ABLE TO GO WHERE THEY WANT TO
GO, IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE.
IT'S BASICALLY THE BASIC CHARGE
OF GOVERNMENT. UM AND THE
QUESTION BECOMES. WHY WHY DIDN'T
WE FUND THESE? UM OUT OF OUR
GENERAL FUND IN A WAY THAT
PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US
TO REALLY MAKE INVESTMENTS IN
THE IN THE IN THE PRIORITIES
THAT WE HAVE. BUT UM, IN MY
DISTRICT, I HAVE THE LARGEST
WETLANDS. THE LARGEST WETLANDS
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND
THE LARGEST WETLANDS. WEST OF
THE MISSISSIPPI. AND IT IS A
WETLAND. THAT IS CREATED. IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE PRIVATE AND
THE PUBLIC SECTOR, SO A LOT OF
THE PROPERTY IS STATE PROPERTY.
SOME OF THE PROPERTY IS FEDERAL
PROPERTY, BUT THE MAJORITY OF
THE PROPERTY ARE PROVIDED. IT'S
PRIVATE PART PROPERTY PROVIDED
BY THE DUCK HUNTERS. IT IS.
THERE ARE FAMILIES THAT ARE
COMMITTED TO THIS BEING PART OF
THE WEST WETLANDS THAT PROVIDES
HABITAT. BIRD MIGRATIONS THAT GO
NORTH AND SOUTH. AND SO IT'S A
REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE OF
PROPERTY THAT INVOLVES THOUSANDS
OF ACRES. AND IT'S THE DUCK
HUNTERS THAT PROVIDE THE LAND.
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT BY THE
LICENSES TO BE ABLE TO HUNT ON
THEIR OWN LAND. AND THOSE
LICENSES PROVIDE THE RESOURCES
TO DO THE WHITE WILDLIFE
MANAGEMENT, SO FISH AND GAME WE
PROVIDE RESOURCES TO FISH AND
GAME THROUGH THOSE LICENSES, AND
SO, UM TO THEN PUT UM, ANOTHER
FEAT. ON THAT KIND OF ACTIVITY.
THAT GOES TO OTHER THINGS IN THE
STATE IS AN UNFAIR BURDEN. AND
SO FOR ME, I AM ABSOLUTELY
COMMITTED TO THESE WETLANDS. BUT
WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO
BE ABLE TO DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO
IN TERMS OF FUNDING. THESE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE SO IMPORTANT
TO US WITHOUT OVERBURDENING AND
YOU KNOW, I SAW THE STUDENTS AND
I IT. THE PLEA. FROM. THESE
FAMILIES IS THAT THIS IS PART OF
THE FAMILY ACTIVITY IS TO GO OUT
AND TO BE PART OF NATURE, AND I
GET IT. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WILL
SAY HEY, DECK HUNTING. WHY ARE
YOU KILLING DUCKS? RIGHT? UM
WELL, IT IS PART OF A HAVE A
FAMILY ACTIVITY. IT'S PART OF A
CULTURE AND I WILL TELL YOU, MY
GOD, I COME FROM A HUNTING
FAMILY. SO MANY TIMES GOT UP IN
THE MORNING AND SAW YOU KNOW
QUAYLE FEET IN THE IN THE SINK
AND WENT LIKE, YOU KNOW THAT
THAT WE NEED TO SEE THIS AT 10
YEARS OLD GETTING MY GLASS OF
WATER. UM BUT IT IS AN IMPORTANT
PART OF RITUAL. IT'S AN
IMPORTANT PART OF GROWING UP. UH
AND IT'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF
RURAL CALIFORNIA AND, UM AND SO
I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL TODAY. I THINK WE NEED TO
TAKE IT BACK TO THE BUDGET AND
TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND FIGURE OUT
HOW CAN WE FUND THESE THESE
IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES AND DO IT
IN A WAY WHERE EVERYBODY
PARTICIPATES, UM IN IN IN
FUNDING IT. SEEN NO MORE MIX
CENTER PORTANTINO. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS AND I
APPRECIATE THE ROBUST DEBATE
THAT TOOK PLACE ON THIS FLOOR.
AND A COUPLE PIECES NEED SOME
CLARIFICATION. FIRST AND
FOREMOST. WE DID USE PART OF THE
BUDGET SURPLUS TO FUND THESE
PROGRAMS. AND GUESS WHAT WE
FOUND OUT WHEN WE FUNDED THESE
ANTI VIOLENCE, ANTI GUN VIOLENCE
PROGRAMS. THEY ACTUALLY WORK.
SAY THAT AGAIN. WE USE PART OF
OUR SURPLUS TO FUND THESE
PROGRAMS. AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
THEY ACTUALLY WORK. AND THE
CHIEF OF THE LAPD CHIEF MORE
CITED THE CALVIN PROGRAM AS
BEING ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE
ANTI GUN PILOTS PROGRAMS OUT
THERE. SO FOR MY COLLEAGUE FROM
MARIETTA WHO QUESTIONED WHETHER
THEY WORK THE ANSWER IS YES,
THEY WORK. SO I HOPE THAT GETS
YOUR VOTE BECAUSE THAT WAS YOUR
CONCERN. DO THESE PROGRAMS WORK
AGAIN? THE ANSWER IS YES. TO THE
COLLEAGUES. WHO SAID, WHY DIDN'T
WE PUT THIS IN THE BUDGET AGAIN?
IT WAS PUT IN THE BUDGET. WHAT
WE'RE DOING NOW IS WE'RE BEYOND
THE SURPLUS AND WE'RE CREATING A
DEDICATED REVENUE STREAM FROM MY
COLLEAGUE WHO QUESTIONED THE
DATA. WELL FOR THE LAST THREE
YEARS, THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF
DEATH AMONGST CHILDREN CITED BY
THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL.
IS GUN VIOLENCE. SURPASSING
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS. AGAIN THE
DATA SHOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM.
AND FOR MY COLLEAGUE WHO POINTED
TO CALIFORNIA'S LOWER RATE OF
GUN VIOLENCE BASED ON OTHER
STATES. WELL, GUESS WHAT THAT'S
DUE TO OUR STRONG GUN SAFETY
LAWS. AGAIN THE DATA AND THE
SCIENCE SHOW. THEY WORK. SO IF
WE WANT TO DO MORE. TO CUT DOWN
ON YOUTH DEATHS. WE SHOULD DO
WHAT WORKS. THIS WORKS TO MY
COLLEAGUES WHO SAY SHOULD. ONE
SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION PAY
FOR A PROBLEM. WELL, I WOULD SAY
WE CHARGE THOSE WHO BUY GAS WHO
USE OUR ROADS. A FEE TO MAKE
SURE OUR ROADS ARE PAVED AND
WORK. THIS IS THE SAME
PRINCIPLE. FOR THOSE WHO SAY
WELL, WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR IT?
I'M A LAW ABIDING CITIZEN. WELL,
WE ALL PAY INTO THE COMMON GOOD.
WHY SHOULD A PERSON WHO IS A
SENIOR CITIZEN PAY TO BUILD THE
LIBRARY ON A HIGH SCHOOL?
BECAUSE THEY GET THE BENEFIT
FROM HAVING A HIGH SCHOOL WITH A
GOOD LIBRARY, WHICH INCREASES
THEIR PROPERTY VALUE, EVEN
THOUGH THEY DON'T HAVE KIDS IN
THAT SCHOOL. IF WE TAKE CARE OF
THE COLLECTIVE GOOD. IF WE CUT
DOWN ON GUN VIOLENCE. IF WE CUT
DOWN ON YOUTH DEATH AND WE
INCREASE YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES. OUR COLLECTIVE SOCIETY
WILL BE HEALTHIER. AND SAFER AND
MORE PRODUCTIVE. WE ALL HAVE.
AND INCUMBENT INTEREST IN SEEING
THAT HAPPEN. SO WHAT'S EXCITING
HERE? IS WE KNOW THAT THIS WILL
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE KNOW THAT
THIS WILL BENEFIT US. WE ALSO
KNOW IT'S CONSISTENT WITH MUCH
OF THE RHETORIC THAT HAS BEEN
HAPPENING ON THIS FLOOR FOR A
DECADE. TO MY COLLEAGUE WHO SAYS
WELL, THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS.
YOU KNOW WHAT ABOUT ISM? WE SEE
A LOT OF WHAT ABOUT ISM ON THE
NATIONAL LEVEL. THIS ISN'T ABOUT
WHAT ABOUT IS, UM, THIS IS ABOUT
SEIZING THIS MOMENT IN TIME. AND
MAKING CALIFORNIA SAFER. AND
MAKING KIDS SAFER. AND MAKING
OUR COLLECTIVE SOCIETY HEALTHIER

78 BY SOME MEMBER JACKSON AND
RELATING TO PEOPLE INSTRUCTION
AND DECLARED THE URGENCY LETTER
OF TO TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS I RISE TODAY TO PROBABLY
PRESENT A B 10 78 ON BEHALF OF
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JACKSON. AH
WHICH IS ALSO AN L G B T Q. PRO
CAUCUS PRIORITY. THIS BILL
STRENGTHENS EXISTING LAW TO
ENSURE CALIFORNIA STUDENTS HAVE
ACCESS TO COMPREHENSIVE,
CULTURALLY COMPETENT AND
ACCURATE INSTRUCTION ABOUT THE
HISTORY EXPERIENCES AND
VIEWPOINTS OF PEOPLE FROM
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES IN
CALIFORNIA IN RECENT YEARS, AS
WE KNOW ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
EVEN IN THIS STATE, WE ARE
SEEING AN UNDENIABLE AND
UNPRECEDENTED MOVEMENT TO BAN
TEXTBOOKS AND INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS FROM THE CLASSROOM. A
RECENT REPORT FROM THE PEN
AMERICA FOUND THAT IN THE LAST
YEAR OVER 1700 UNIQUE BOOK
TITLES WERE BANNED IN 138 SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ACROSS 32 STATES
AFFECTING NEARLY 4 MILLION
STUDENTS ACROSS OUR COUNTRY.
MAYBE 10 78 PUT STUDENTS FIRST
BY PROVIDING PARENTS RECOURSE
AGAINST ACTION OR INACTION BY
LOCAL GOVERNING BOARD THAT WILL
WILLFULLY DENY THEIR STUDENTS
ACCESS TO STANDARDS, ALIGNED
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS AND
BOOKS THAT ARE COMPLIANT WITH
THE FAIR ACT, WHICH WAS
ESTABLISHED IN 2012. MAYBE 10 78
IS SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION. MR TONY THURMAN,
THE CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL
ROB BONTA. A C L U CALIFORNIA,
THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION AND THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS AS A
YOUNG AS A PARENT OF A YOUNG
CHILD IN THIRD GRADE MYSELF IN A
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. I KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO ENSURE THAT
OUR STUDENTS GET THE EDUCATION
THAT THEY DESERVE. A B 10 78
WILL ENSURE THAT PARENTS ARE
ABLE TO ADVOCATE FOR THEIR
CHILDREN'S FUTURES AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
SENATOR NEWMAN. YOU RECOGNIZE,
OKAY? THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE,
AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE IN
ADVANCE, ESPECIALLY MY
COLLEAGUES FROM SANTA CLARA TO
IN ORINDA AND NAPA. I'LL BE
SPEAKING AT LENGTH ON THIS, BUT
I BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT. A B 10
78 WILL ENSURE THAT STUDENTS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BE
DENIED TEXTBOOKS AND
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT ARE
FAIR, ACCURATE, INCLUSIVE AND
HAVE RESPECTFUL REPRESENTATIONS
OF THE STATE'S VERY DIVERSE
ETHNIC AND CULTURAL POPULATION,
AS RESEARCH FROM PEW HAS FOUND K
THROUGH 12 EDUCATION HAS SADLY
IN RECENT YEARS EMERGED AS A
POLITICAL FLASHPOINT IN AMERICAN
SOCIETY AS GROUND ZERO. IN OUR
CURRENT, APPARENTLY ENDLESS
CULTURE WARS LAWMAKERS IN
VARIOUS STATES, ESPECIALLY AT
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT LEVEL, ARE
INCREASINGLY PROPOSING POLICIES
AND LAWS, WHICH WOULD LIMIT WHAT
EDUCATORS CAN SAY IN THE
CLASSROOM ABOUT TOPICS LIKE RACE
OR GENDER IDENTITY. EVEN ITS
PARENTS, AND ESPECIALLY YOUNG
PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN GREAT INTEREST
IN HAVING ACCESS TO INFORMATION
ON THESE TOPICS IN 2022, 17
STATES PASSED LAWS LIMITING HOW
INSTRUCTORS CAN DISCUSS ISSUES
OF RACE, GENDER AND OTHER
DIVISIVE CONCEPTS IN THE
CLASSROOM AS THEY SHOULD.
EDUCATORS ACROSS CALIFORNIA WANT
TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS THESE
IMPORTANT TOPICS THOUGHTFULLY
AND INCLUSIVELY. UNFORTUNATELY
IN THE CURRENT FRACTURES,
ENVIRONMENT, EDUCATORS
INCREASINGLY FEEL CONSTRAINED
AND APPREHENSIVE AND INHIBITED
ABOUT TEACHING OR EVEN TALKING
ABOUT RACE OR GENDER ISSUES THAT
MIGHT VEER TOWARD BEING RECEIVED
AS CONTROVERSIAL AS EVIDENCE.
ONE THIRD OF THE TEACHERS
RECENTLY SURVEYED SAID NEW STATE
OR DISTRICT POLICIES OR
PRESSURES FROM PRINTS OR THE
COMMUNITY HAVE LED THEM TO AVOID
CERTAIN CONTENT AND TO CHANGE
THEIR TEXT OR THEIR MATERIALS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
OUR SOCIETY IS NOT STAGNANT.
THAT WE ARE EVERYONE IS
CONSTANTLY CHANGING DISCUSSIONS
OF RACE AND GENDER SHOULD NOT BE
CONSIDERED DIVISIVE CONCEPTS
EVEN IN OUR SCHOOLS. TO THAT
END, WE HAVE THROUGH OUR
LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS HERE DONE A
GREAT DEAL IN RECENT YEARS TO
SUPPORT PARENTS, STUDENTS AND
EDUCATORS, NAMELY A B 101, WHICH
AUTHORED BY ASSEMBLY JOSE BEEN
DOING IT IN 2021 ADDED ETHNIC
STUDIES AS A HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
CALIFORNIA A B 1 67, A BUDGET
BILL REQUIRED CD TO DEVELOP
MODEL CURRICULUM. AROUND THE
DEVELOPMENT OF VIETNAMESE
AMERICAN REFUGEES. CAMBODIAN
GENOCIDE IN HISTORY AND CULTURAL
STUDIES BY 2024 AND NATIVE
AMERICAN STUDIES. BY 2025. SB 3
69 CURRENTLY PENNY FROM OUR
COLLEAGUE, SENATOR NGUYEN, WHICH
IS WHICH SEEKS TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENT TO MORE ACCURATELY
PORTRAY VIETNAMESE AND CAMBODIAN
AMERICANS IN A MORE ACCURATE
LIGHT. WE ARE A STATE THAT
VALUES, RACE, ETHNICITY AND
GENDER EXPRESSION. THIS BILL
SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT WE BETTER
PROTECT THOSE VALUES A B 10 78
BUILDS UPON THE FAIR, ACCURATE,
INCLUSIVE AND RESPECTFUL
EDUCATION ACT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE
FAIR ACT, WHICH MANDATES
INSTRUCTION ON THE ROLE AND
CONTRIBUTIONS OF LATINO
AMERICANS. LGBT Q. PLUS
AMERICANS AND MEMBERS OF OTHER
RELIGIONS AND SOCIOECONOMIC
GROUPS. THIS BILL REASONABLY
PROHIBITS THE REMOVAL OF
TEXTBOOKS, INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIAL AND LIBRARY BOOKS THAT
ALIGN WITH THE FAIR ACT. IT
REQUIRES COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS
OF SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE THEIR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND OPPORTUNITY
TO REMEDY TO EFFICIENCIES IN
TEXTBOOKS AND INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS UPON RECEIVING A COPY
OF A RESOLUTION FROM A LOCAL
GOVERNING BOARD. DETERMINING
THAT THERE WERE INSUFFICIENT
TEXTBOOKS OR INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS. THIS BILL ALSO ALLOWS
COMPLAINTS TO BE FILED DIRECTLY
WITH THE STATE IF ONE OR MORE
PUPILS DO NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT
TEXTBOOKS OR INSTRUCTION
MATERIALS AS A RESULT OF AN ACT
BY THE GOVERNING BOARD OF A
SCHOOL DISTRICT OR THE GOVERNING
BOARDS, FAILURE TO ACT TO REMEDY
THE DEFICIENCY OF TEXTBOOKS OR
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS. THIS
ACT ALSO REASONABLY SEEKS TO
DISCOURAGE SCHOOL BOARDS FROM
MAKING COSTLY DECISIONS AT THE
EXPENSE OF STUDENTS ACCESS TO
KNOWLEDGE BY IMPOSING A FISCAL
PENALTY AND THE COST OF
INSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND
TEXTBOOKS IF IT IS FOUND BY A
COUNTY SUPER INTEND. OF
EDUCATION. VERY SCHOOL DISTRICT
WITHIN THAT JURISDICTION HAS NOT
REMEDIED A DEFICIENCY IN
INSTRUCTION, MATERIALS AND
TEXTBOOKS. THIS BILL IS
SPONSORED BY THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION AND SUPPORTED BY OUR
STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
, THE A C L U, AND THE
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
TEACHERS. I URGE YOUR SUPPORT
FOR A B 10 78. THANK YOU,
SENATOR. SMOKE, CUEVAS. THANK
YOU, MR PRESIDENT, AND I RISE TO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF A B 10 78,
WHICH WOULD PREVENT THE REMOVAL
OF CRITICAL TEXTBOOKS THAT
ALIGNED WITH STATE ADOPTED
STANDARDS FOR INSTRUCTION. I
WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO READ
THIS MESSAGE FROM JAMES BALDWIN
, ONE OF OUR FAMED AUTHORS AND
ACTIVISTS IN THE MISSION GRANTED
YOU THINK YOUR PAIN AND YOUR
HEARTBREAK UNPRECEDENTED IN THE
HISTORY OF THE WORLD, BUT THEN
YOU READ IT WAS BOOKS THAT
TAUGHT ME THAT THE THINGS THAT
TORMENTED ME MOST WERE THE VERY
THINGS THAT CONNECTED ME WITH
ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE ALIVE
AND WHO HAVE EVER BEEN ALIVE AND
HAVE BEEN TORMENTED IN THEIR OWN
WAY. I THINK THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR US THAT
POSITIVE, PARTICULARLY RACIAL
YOUTH IDENTITY IS SUPPORTED BY
DIVERSE AND INCLUSIVE LITERATURE
IN OUR SCHOOLS AND A GIFT E PUKU
AJI MEAN. SAID SHE'S A DOCTORAL
STUDENT AT THE HARVARD KENNEDY,
UH, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION. AND SHE
SAID BOOKS ARE THE WINDOWS TO
THE ORDINARY. WE READ THEM TO
SEE OURSELVES TO COMPREHEND OUR
LIVED REALITY INTO SOMETIME.
ENVISION SOMETHING BETTER. THERE
IS A REAL COST WHEN THE STORIES
OF ALL OF OUR CHILDREN, BLACK
CHILDREN, IMMIGRANT CHILDREN,
LGBT QUÊ. CHILDREN. WHEN THOSE
STORIES ARE MISSING. IT LIMITS
OUR ABILITY TO BUILD OUR POWER
TO BUILD OUR EXPERIENCES, BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY, TO BUILD OUR
CONNECTIONS TO ONE ANOTHER BY
ALLOWING A SINGLE BAD FAITH
REQUEST A SCHOOL IS REMOVING OUR
CHILDREN AND OUR TEENS ABILITY
AND VIBRANT RENDITION FOR HOPE.
AND TO HAVE PROMISE OPPONENTS OF
DIVERSE STORYTELLING, A ROBBING
THE NEXT GENERATION OF AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE CURIOUS ABOUT
THE WORLD AROUND THEM AND TO
MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT THE WORLD
THAT THEY WANT TO LIVE IN. AND A
B 10 78 TAKES NECESSARY STEPS TO
ENSURE WE EMPOWER ALL OF OUR
AUTHORS, PARTICULARLY AUTHORS OF
COLOR. FROM MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES AND READERS FROM
THOSE COMMUNITIES AND FROM
MAINSTREAM DOMINANT COMMUNITIES
TO COME TOGETHER AND UNDERSTAND
EACH OTHER'S STORIES. WHEN WE
SHARE OUR EXPERIENCES, WE
HUMANIZE ONE ANOTHER, AND THAT'S
WHERE THE REAL POWER BEGINS. AND
THE NEW HOPE AND FUTURE FOR OUR
STATE TAKES PLACE. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. SENATOR COPE Ó.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS. UM WITH THE ALMOST
RESPECT TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, UM I
APPRECIATE HIS EFFORTS AND
APPRECIATE THE PRESENTATION HERE
BY SENATOR GONZALEZ. I THINK THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING TO CONSIDER
WITH THIS PARTICULAR BILL, IT'S
NOT THE FACT THAT WE WANT
INCLUSIVE LITERATURE TO
REPRESENT THOSE STUDENTS WITHIN
THAT BODY, BUT SEVERAL CONCERNS
HERE ONE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
THIS BILL DOES IT ACTUALLY
LIMITS THE ABILITY FOR SCHOOL
BOARDS. IT INCREASES THE ABILITY
OF THE NUMBER OF BOARD MEMBERS
TO, UM BELIEVE IT DOES IF I'M
NOT CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. BUT
IT ACTUALLY MAKES IT DIFFICULT.
MORE DIFFICULT TO, UM
RECONSIDER. BOOKS NOT
NECESSARILY BECAUSE OF THE
CONTENT BECAUSE THEY'RE
INCLUSIVE, BUT BECAUSE THEY'RE
NOT AGE APPROPRIATE. MUCH OF THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT OCCURRED IN
COMMITTEE MUCH OF THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT WERE THAT ARE
CARRYING ACROSS THE STATE FROM
MANY GROUPS. PARENTS IS
QUESTIONING WHETHER OR NOT BOOKS
ARE AGE APPROPRIATE. AGE
APPROPRIATE. UM, SUCH AS THE
CASE AS ONE OF THE BOOKS THAT
WAS READY IN COMMITTEE THAT WAS
FOUND IN A JUNIOR HIGH BOOK.
WHICH LITERALLY EXPLAIN HOW TO
DOWNLOAD AN APP. UM THAT
INSTRUCTED SOMEONE TO CONNECT
WITH PEOPLE AND, UM. WITH SEXUAL
PARTNERS ARE INTERESTED PARTNERS
IN THE AREA. UM AND IT HAD TO DO
IT WAS UNDER AN LGBTQ BOOK. AND
IT HAD THAT THAT DESCRIPTION HAD
TO DOWNLOAD AN APP TO CONNECT
WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED
INSECTS LOCALLY. THOSE ARE THE
KIND OF BOOKS THAT AND BY THE
WAY WITHIN THIS BILL BECAUSE
IT'S UNDER LGBTQ PROTECTED
CLASS. WE COULD NOT REMOVE THAT
BOOK BECAUSE IT'S AN LGBT Q BOOK
, SO THAT CONSIDERATION IS NOT
WHETHER OR NOT IT'S INCLUSIVE
DIVERSE IS THE FACT THAT IT'S
NOT ASIA APPROPRIATE AND NOWHERE
IN THIS POLICY IN THIS BILL.
DOES IT ACTUALLY ADDRESS AGE
APPROPRIATE IT COULD BE
INCLUSIVE. IT COULD BE DIVERSE.
BUT IT SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE THEIR
AGE APPROPRIATE. IN COMMITTEE. I
HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A
DISCUSSION WITH MY WITH MY
COLLEAGUE FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
AND I ASKED HIM WHETHER OR NOT
THE BOOK THAT WAS BEING READ ON
THE FLOOR IN THE COMMITTEE THAT
WAS FOUND IN A JUNIOR HIGH
CLASSROOM WAS APPROPRIATE. THERE
WAS NO ANSWER. SO MY CONCERN IS
IT'S NOT THE FACT THAT IT'S
INCLUSIVE. IT'S A FACT THAT
NOWHERE NOWHERE IN THIS BILL
THAT WE TALK ABOUT BOOKS BEING
AGE APPROPRIATE. AND WHETHER OR
NOT THE CONTENT SHOULD WE HAVE
BOOKS THAT TALK ABOUT IN JUNIOR
HIGH THAT SPEAK TO THE FACT OF
HAVING APPS WITH REGARDS TO YOU.
HOW TO CONNECT WITH SEXUAL
PARTNERS AROUND THE AREA. THAT
IS THE ISSUE AT THE CORE. ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE HAD IN, UM
AND I REMEMBER ON MY FIRST YEAR
WE WERE DISCUSSING
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MEDINA'S, UH,
ETHNIC STUDIES. BILL. I REMEMBER
ONE OF THE THINGS AND HE KEPT
BRINGING THAT BILL BACK,
BRINGING IT BACK, BRINGING IT
BACK. I HAD TO DO WITH THE FACT
AND HE ALWAYS SAID. GIVE IT TO
LOCAL CONTROL LOCAL BOARDS TO
DECIDE WHICH BOOKS WOULD BE
REPRESENTATIVE OF THEIR
DEMOGRAPHICS. SO THAT THEY COULD
HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE. BOOKS
THAT REFLECTED THE STUDENT
POPULATION. HIS INTENT WAS
ALWAYS LOCAL CONTROL. THIS
LIMITS. LOCAL CONTROL. GIVE IT
TO THE STATE. TAKING AWAY THE
ABILITY PREPARES TO HAVE A
VOICE. THAT'S THE FEAR. WHAT DO
WE TALK ABOUT IN EDUCATION? WE
TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
A DECLINING STUDENT ENROLLMENT
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. MY FEAR THIS BILL
THAT DOESN'T ADDRESS AGE
APPROPRIATE BUT TALKS ABOUT
EQUITY AND UNDER UNDER THE
UMBRELLA OF EQUITY AND
INCLUSIVITY. BUT NOT AGED
APPROPRIATE MATTERS. OR TOPICS.
IS GOING TO BE ANOTHER REASON
WHY WE LOSE MORE STUDENTS TO OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. OR TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA MOVING OUT.
WE CAN BE INCLUSIVE. WE CAN BE
DIVERSE. BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO BE
VERY, VERY CAREFUL INTO MAKING
SURE THAT UNDER THAT GUISE WE
DON'T OVERSTEP. VALUES THAT MOST
CALIFORNIANS HAVE. WHAT IS
APPROPRIATE AND NOT APPROPRIATE.
I HATE THE FACT THAT WE'RE
VILLAINIZING ONE END OF THE
SPECTRUM TO THE OTHER SPECTRUM,
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIE IN
THE ISSUES. WE SHOULD FACILITATE
UNDERSTANDING AND CONVERSATION.
THE CONVERSATION IS FOR MANY,
MANY CONCERNED PARENTS OF
STUDENTS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IS WHETHER OR NOT
THINGS ARE AGE APPROPRIATE. UM,
PERMISSION TO READ. PERMISSION
GRANTED. THIS CAME TO ME. UM
ACTUALLY APPROPRIATELY THIS
MORNING, AND IT WAS REALLY
INTERESTING TO NOTE BECAUSE I
THINK I WOULD JUST WANT TO PUT
IT IN CONTEXT OF WHERE WE ARE.
AS A SOCIETY AS A CULTURE,
ESPECIALLY HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
WITH THE ANIMUS RESPECT. THINK
ABOUT THIS. VERY, VERY, UH
DEEPLY. CORRUPT THE YOUNG. GET
THEM AWAY FROM RELIGION. GET
THEM INTERESTED IN SEX, MAKE
THEM SUPERFICIAL. DESTROY THE
RUGGEDNESS GET CONTROL OF ALL
MEANS OF PUBLICITY AND THEREBY
GET THE PEOPLE'S MINDS OFF THEIR
GOVERNMENT BY FOCUSING THEIR
ATTENTION ON ATHLETIC, SEXY
BOOKS AND PLAYS AND OTHER
TRIVIALITIES, DIVIDED PEOPLE
INTO HOSTILE GROUPS CONSTANTLY
HARPING ON CONTROVERSIAL MATTERS
OF NO IMPORTANCE. THIS STORY THE
PEOPLE'S FAITH IN THEIR NATURAL
LEADERS BY HOLDING UP THE LADDER
TO RIDICULE CONTEMPT IN OBLIQUE,
OBLIQUE OY. ALWAYS PREACHED
THROUGH DEMOCRACY, BUT SEES
POWERS FAST AND AS RUTHLESSLY AS
POSSIBLE. ENCOURAGE GOVERNMENT
EXTRAVAGANCE DESTROY ITS CREDIT
PRODUCE FEAR. WITH RISING PRICES
, INFLATION AND GENERAL
DISCONTENT. MOMENT UNNECESSARY
STRIKES IN VITAL INDUSTRIES.
ENCOURAGE CIVIL DISORDER AND
FOSTER A SOFT AND LENIENT
ATTITUDE ON THE PART OF
GOVERNMENT TOWARDS SUCH THIS
ORDERS. THE SPACIOUS. UM,
ARGUMENT CAUSED THE BREAKDOWN OF
OLD MORAL VIRTUES. HONESTY,
SOBRIETY. UM. CONTINENTS FAITH
IN THE PLEDGED WORD RUGGEDNESS.
COST OF THE, UH, ANYWAY. GO ON,
AND THIS IS BY VLADIMIR LENIN IN
1921 AND TO THE POINT TO THE
POINT OF ORDER TO THE POINT OF
ORDER JUST ONCE I WAIT A POINT
OF ORDER POINT OF ORDER. WHAT IS
THE PURPOSE OF THIS LONG
READING? THAT SEEMS TO BE
DESCRIBING THE PARTY THAT YOU
BELONG TO. UH IT'S OUT. IT HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PARTY. IT
HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT OF HOW
WE'RE DISTRACTING. WE'RE
ADDRESSING WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S
NOT THE PURPOSE OF THIS BILL.
CAN YOU SPEAK SPEAK TO THE
CONTENT OF THE BILL JUST PASSED
? ONE SECOND, LET'S JUST LET'S
MAKE SURE WE'RE HAVE CONTROL
HERE. ALRIGHT, WE'RE GONNA CALL
QUICK TIME OUT. WE'RE GONNA
HUDDLE HERE.
ALL RIGHT, SENATOR EDMUND, CAN
YOU RESTATE YOUR POINT OF ORDER?
MY POINT OF ORDER WAS SPEAKING
TO THE CONTENT OF THE BILL. IT
SEEMED LIKE WE HAD GONE FAR
ACROSS AWAY FROM THE POINT OF
THE BILL. SPEAKING TO THE MERITS
OF THE BILL. POINT TAKEN, CAN
YOU? UH WERE YOU JOHN READING
ORDER? IS THAT THE ISSUE. THE
REASON FOR THIS BILL WAS THE
FACT THAT WE ARE LITERALLY
OBJECTING TO THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE SCHOOL BOARDS THAT ARE
OBJECTING TO BOOKS AND MATERIALS
IN SCHOOLS. THE POINT THAT I'M
TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT WE'RE NOT
HAVING THE CONVERSATION AT THE
CORE OF THE ISSUE, WHICH IS AGED
APPROPRIATENESS OF MATERIALS.
THIS BILL HERBS TO CURB THAT
STATING THAT THEY ARE. DIVERS
UNDER LGBT Q THEIR DIVERS UNDER
BLACK AUTHORS OR HISPANIC GROUND
AUTHORS OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE MY
POINT OF ORDER. MY POINT IS THAT
IF WE'RE GOING TO EDUCATE OUR
CHILDREN IF WE'RE GOING TO
ADDRESS ISSUES AND BOOKS AND SO
FORTH, THAT IN ALL OF THAT IT
HAS TO BE AGED APPROPRIATE. AGE
APPROPRIATE. AND THAT IS THE
MANY CONCERNS THAT PARENTS ARE
HAVING. THIS BILL CAME BECAUSE
PARENTS ARE NOW ENGAGED IN
SCHOOL BOARDS. THEY'RE COMING TO
THE SCHOOL BOARD'S SPEAKING
ABOUT THESE BOOKS. BUT MANY OF
THESE ISSUES ARE NOT BECAUSE
THEY'RE DIVERSE. BUT BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT AGE APPROPRIATE, AND
THAT'S THE WAY THAT'S THAT'S
WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET HERE IS
THAT WE'RE INCLUDING STUFF THAT
IT'S NOT APPROPRIATE IN SCHOOLS
. AND SO WITH THAT MOST RESPECT
, I CANNOT SUPPORT A BILL THAT
LIMITS THE ABILITY FOR PARENTS
TO BE ENGAGED IN THE SCHOOLS.
AND UM, RUN FOR OFFICE IN SCHOOL
BOARDS. THAT'S MY, UM THAT'S NOT
THE POINT THAT I'M TRYING TO
MAKE, AND I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF
MANY, MANY PARENTS WHO FEEL
EXACTLY THE SAME CONCERN, AND
I'M AFRAID THAT THIS BILL UNDER
THE GUISE OF PROTECTED GROUPS.
INCLUDES. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE A
PHRASE OR A POINT THAT SAYS, AGE
APPROPRIATE. THAT'S IT. THANK
YOU. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO
VOTE. THANK YOU, SENATOR MEN.
IT'S A SECOND. YOU KNOW HE WAS
AHEAD OF ME. OKAY? THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I WANT TO. I WASN'T
PLAYING ARISING IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL TODAY, BUT I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT AND I'LL JUST
NOTE THAT PROBABLY LIKE MANY OF
YOU. I REPRESENT. AH DISTRICTS
THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, SEEING THE
TROUBLING TREND OF SCHOOL BOARDS
BEING ELECTED. THAT HAVE ADHERED
TO CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT HAVE
TAKEN RADICAL ACTIONS IN BANNING
BOOKS. AND I JUST WANT TO POINT
OUT THAT THE QUOTE THAT WAS READ
BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM YUCAIPA WAS
ACTUALLY DEBUNKED AS LONG AGO AS
1970 IN THE NEW YORK TIMES AS
BEING A FRAUD THERE, LENIN FOR
HIS FAULTS. LOOK, I AM NO
COMMUNIST, NOT SUPPORT VLADIMIR
LENIN. BUT HE NEVER SAID THAT,
AND IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN SOMETHING
THAT'S MEN IN URBAN MYTH FOR
QUITE A LONG TIME. AND I JUST
POINT OUT THAT THIS IS EXACTLY
THE PROBLEM TODAY. IS THAT TOO
MANY TIMES THE DECISIONS ON
WHETHER TO BAN BOOKS ARE DRIVEN
BY IDEOLOGY ARE DRIVEN BY Q AND,
UM, CHAT ROOMS AND NOT BY FACT,
NOT BY THE REASON. DISCUSSION OF
EDUCATIONAL PROFESSIONALS. NOW I
HAVE TWO SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
CITIES THAT HAVE CHOSEN TO BAN
BOOKS IN RECENT MONTHS, AND I'LL
JUST REMIND EVERYBODY THAT THE
HISTORY OF BOOK BANNING IN THIS
COUNTRY IT GOES BACK. A LONG
TIME AND IT'S QUITE PERNICIOUS.
AND THAT THE IDEA THAT SOMETHING
IS OBSCENE OR PORNOGRAPHIC HAS
BEEN USED TO BAN CLASSICS LIKE
SHAKESPEARE. AND DIARY OF ANNE
FRANK. DURING THE MCCARTHY ERA,
SENATOR MCCARTHY ARGUED THAT
HENRY DAVID THOREAU CIVIL
DISOBEDIENCE AND JOHN
STEINBECK'S THE GRAPES OF WRATH
CONSIDERED CLASSICS TODAY WE'RE
OBSCENE QUOTE UNQUOTE BECAUSE
THEY ENCOURAGE PROTESTS AGAINST
THE STATUS QUO. THE CLASSIC
STORY OF ROBIN HOOD WAS SEEN AS
QUOTE UNQUOTE PORNOGRAPHIC
AROUND THE SAME TIME IT WAS
BANNED IN A NUMBER OF SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN INDIANA BECAUSE IT
ENCOURAGED CLASS REBELLION. NOW
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH PARENTS
CHOOSING TO HAVE THEIR KIDS READ
CERTAIN THINGS OR AND I
CERTAINLY GUIDE MY CHILDREN WHAT
THEY SHOULD READ. BUT WHAT WE
HAVE SEEN LATELY, AND THIS
HAPPENED ACTUALLY IN ORANGE
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ONE
PARENT COMPLAINED ABOUT A WHOLE
NUMBER OF BOOKS AND THEY WERE
BANNED. THEY WERE BANNED FROM
OUR LIBRARIES BANNED FROM PUBLIC
ACCESS. UH THIS IS WHAT WE'RE
SEEING RIGHT NOW, AND IT IS
TARGETING A SPECIFIC COMMUNITY
IS TARGETING THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
AND IT'S UNDER THIS GUISE OF
OBSCENITY OR PROTECTING OUR
CHILDREN. BUT THAT IS NOT HOW
WE'VE SEEN IT PLAY OUT, AND I
WISH THIS BILL WAS NOT NECESSARY
. BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE SEEN
THE POLITICIZATION OF OUR
SCHOOLS TODAY. AND TO ME, THAT'S
UNCONSCIONABLE. BOOKS SHOULD NOT
BE BANNED. EDUCATION SHOULD BE
FREELY OUT THERE. AND IF YOU AS
A PARENT WANT TO MAKE SURE YOUR
KIDS ARE READING THINGS YOU
THINK ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THEM.
THAT IS ON YOU. AS A PARENT. I
DON'T LET MY KIDS GO AND
PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY WERE VERY
YOUNG, GO OUT AND JUST GET CHECK
OUT WHATEVER BOOKS THEY WANTED.
I KNOW THERE'S BOOKS ABOUT
ANATOMY BOOKS THAT MIGHT BE
OFFENSIVE TO MANY, UM, BUT IT'S
MY JOB AS A PARENT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE READING THE THINGS
I THINK THEY'RE APPROPRIATE FOR
THEM TO READ NOT TO TRY TO BAN
BOOKS FOR EVERYBODY ELSE IN OUR
SOCIETY SO THEY NO LONGER HAVE
ACCESS TO THEM. THAT IS ALSO
TRUE OF EDUCATION IN OUR
CLASSROOMS RIGHT NOW JUST WILL
TELL YOU THAT THERE IS AN
ONGOING DEBATE OVER WHETHER WE
SHOULD TEACH ALTERNATIVE
HISTORIES WHETHER PEOPLE WHO ARE
ASIAN, AMERICAN OR AFRICAN
AMERICAN, OR LGBT QUÊ. HAVE ROLE
MODELS THAT THEY CAN LOOK TO IN
OUR HISTORY BOOKS, AND I HAVE
STRONGLY SUPPORTED THE IDEA OF
ETHNIC STUDIES. BEING SCOTT
TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOLS FOR
SIMILAR REASONS IS WHY I'M
SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY.
GROWING UP. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY
ASIAN AMERICAN ROLE MODELS. ONE
TEACHER BETWEEN THE AGES OF K
THROUGH 12. ONE TEACHER WAS
ASIAN AMERICAN. I DIDN'T HAVE
ANY ROLE MODELS, AND IT WAS
NEVER TAUGHT IN OUR SCHOOL
BOOKS. I WANT OUR KIDS TO BE
ABLE TO MY KIDS TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE ROLE MODELS. THEY CAN LOOK
UP TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ALSO
HAVE A HISTORY THAT IS REFLECTED
IN AMERICA THAT IS TAUGHT IN OUR
SCHOOLS. I THINK THESE ARE
IMPORTANT VALUES THAT ARE
AMERICAN VALUES THAT WE NEED TO
PROMOTE. AND SO I WOULD URGE YOU
ALL TO CONSIDER SUPPORTING THIS
BILL TODAY. SENATOR WIENER.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I RISE
IN SUPPORT OF A B 10 78.
PERSONALLY I TRUST TEACHERS AND
LIBRARIANS WHO ARE TRAINED
PROFESSIONALS. TO CURATE A
SCHOOL LIBRARY AND TO MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS, THAT'S WHAT WE TRAIN
THEM TO DO WHAT THEY'RE HIRED TO
DO. THESE ARE PROFESSIONALS AND
TO HAVE POLITICIANS COME IN. AND
SO THAT'S BAND. THAT'S BAND
THAT'S BAND. TO ME. THAT IS
OUTRAGEOUS. UM, WE NEED TO BE
VERY CLEAR WHAT THIS IS WHETHER
IT'S BURNING BOOKS OR BANNING
BOOKS. THIS IS GOVERNMENT
CENSORSHIP. THESE ARE SCHOOL
BOARDS, A GOVERNMENT AGENCY
ENGAGING IN CENSORSHIP AND
DECIDING WHAT PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED
TO READ. AND WHAT THEY ARE NOT
ALLOWED TO READ. AND IF YOU
THINK IT STOPS AT SCHOOL
LIBRARIES LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S
NOT GOING TO STOP AT SCHOOL
LIBRARIES AS SOON AS THEY THEY
DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THEY CAN GET
AWAY WITH THIS AND WE'RE NOT
GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY WITH
IT. IT WILL MOVE BEYOND THAT. IT
WILL MOVE TO ADULTS, TOO, AND
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY GOVERNMENT
CENSORSHIP. AND WHAT ARE THEY
TRYING TO DO THERE? THIS ISN'T
ABOUT AGE APPROPRIATE. THEY'RE
TRYING TO WHITEWASH HISTORY.
THEY'RE TRYING TO REMOVE ANY
HISTORY THAT THEY DON'T WANT
PEOPLE TO LEARN ABOUT. AND IT'S
NOT JUST HAPPENING IN FLORIDA.
NOT JUST HAVING IN FLORIDA,
WHERE THEY'RE TRYING TO LIONIZE
THE ERA OF SLAVERY. SLAVERY HAD
SOME GOOD BENEFITS FOR PEOPLE,
ACCORDING TO THE FLORIDA
CURRICULUM. IT'S HAPPENING HERE
IN CALIFORNIA. WHERE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE TRYING TO PREVENT.
KIDS FROM LEARNING ABOUT
ACCURATE HISTORY. WHETHER IT'S
ABOUT RACISM IN THIS COUNTRY,
THE HISTORY OF RACE IN THIS
COUNTRY. WHETHER IT IS ABOUT
LGBT Q PEOPLE. WHETHER IT'S
ABOUT JEWS. THEY'RE TRYING TO
ERASE ENTIRE COMMUNITIES SO THAT
KIDS GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL
AND DO NOT KNOW THEIR OWN
HISTORY OR THE HISTORY OF OTHER
COMMUNITIES, AND THEY THINK
EVERYTHING'S FINE BECAUSE IT'S
ALL WHITEWASHED AND ALL IS GOOD.
THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT. IT IS
ACTUALLY LYING TO CHILDREN.
ABOUT THE REALITY OF THE WORLD
THAT WE LIVE IN. AND YOU LOOK AT
AND WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE
BOOKS THAT HAVE HISTORICALLY
BEEN BANNED, BUT JUST RECENTLY
BANNING BANNING BOOKS ABOUT THE
HOLOCAUST. WE HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH HOLOCAUST DENIAL IN THIS
COUNTRY WHEN 6 MILLION JEWS
WE'RE METHODICALLY EXTERMINATED
POISON. PUT IT OVENS
EXTERMINATED. 6 MILLION OF US.
AND WE HAVE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
THAT ARE BANNING. KIDS FROM EVEN
READING AND LEARNING ABOUT THE
HOLOCAUST, SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN
AGAIN. IS IT ANY WONDER THAT
WHEN YOU PULL YOUNG PEOPLE THE
PERSON THE PERCENTAGE IS
INCREASING OF KIDS WHO DON'T
EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST OR
THINK IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. AND THIS
JUST MAKES THAT WORSE. THIS IS A
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT BILL
COLLEAGUES. WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY IS
HORRIFIC. CALIFORNIA SHOULD NOT
BE A PARTY TO IT, AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
SENATOR RUBIO. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
AT THIS SENATE UM, LET'S ASK A
TEACHER I'M STANDING RIGHT HERE
. WELL FIRST OF ALL, I'M REALLY
ENCOURAGED BY THE FACT THAT
WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
KIDS READING, YOU KNOW HOW HARD
IT IS TO GET HER STUDENTS TO
READ. SO FIRST OF ALL TO OTHER
TEACHERS OUT THERE, THEY CAN
AGREE. YOU KNOW, IT'S THE ONE
ISSUE THAT WE CONSTANTLY HAVE
JUST TRYING TO GET THEM TO READ.
BUT WE DON'T NECESSARILY SPEND
ALL THEIR TIME TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO EMBED ONE BOOK OR THE
OTHER. WE HAVE CURRICULUM THAT'S
GIVEN TO US THAT'S VETTED THAT'S
PUT BEFORE US AND WE REALLY DO.
AS I BELIEVE THE GREAT SENATOR
FROM SAN FRANCISCO STATED. YOU
KNOW, WE'RE PROFESSIONALS WHO
ARE THERE TO TAKE CARE OF HER
KIDS. THE ONE THING I WILL SAY
IT'S NOT EVEN ABOUT READING
APPROPRIATE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW,
WE HAVE FOURTH GRADERS THAT ARE
READING IT OFF FIRST GRADE
LEVELS FOR OUR JOB IS TO MONITOR
AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN
ACTUALLY READ THE BOOK, SO I
DON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE INVENT
THIS INFORMATION THAT MAY NOT BE
APPROPRIATE. BELIEVE ME, WE HAVE
A LOT OF CURRICULUM TO GET
THROUGH. AND THAT WAS ALWAYS OUR
CHALLENGE, NOT ENOUGH HOURS IN
THE DAY TO GET THROUGH CORE
CURRICULUM READING, WRITING
SCIENCE MATH. THE LIST GOES ON
AND ON AND ON. WE DON'T CARVE
OUT TIME TO READ. THANKS BECAUSE
WE WANT TO JUST GIVE EXTRA
INFORMATION. WE HAVE A
CURRICULUM THAT WE HAVE TO
ADHERE TO. AND BELIEVE ME AGAIN
. I'M REALLY HAPPY. WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT KIDS READING
BECAUSE THAT'S ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES TEACHERS.
FACE BUT TEACHERS JUST WANT TO
TEACH. KIDS JUST WANT TO READ
AND I THINK THAT THIS WAS
IMPORTANT JUST TO ENSURE THAT
KIDS HAVE THAT DIVERSITY THAT
THEY CAN SEE THEMSELVES IN BOOKS
THAT THEY CAN SEE THEMSELVES.
YOU KNOW, AND THESE STORIES AND
I KNOW WHEN I STARTED TEACHING,
WE HAVE VERY LITTLE DIVERSITY.
AND AS I STARTED TEACHING, I
REMEMBER WE STARTED GETTING
AUTHORS THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE
SPANISH SPEAKERS OR CERTAIN
NAMES THAT WERE, YOU KNOW,
LATINO, AND I JUST THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO HAVE BOOKS AND
MATERIALS THAT REFLECT WHO WERE
TEACHING. BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY
TEACHERS JUST WANT TO TEACH. AND
WITH THAT, I ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. SENATOR
CIERTO THEN SENATOR NGUYEN,
SENATOR SARTO. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I'LL BE BRIEF. THE BILL
INFRINGES ON PARENTS' RIGHT TO
ENGAGE THEIR ELECTED SCHOOL
BOARDS REGARDING THEIR
CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. WHAT THEY
FEEL IS APPROPRIATE BECAUSE WHAT
THIS ESSENTIALLY DOES IS TAKE A
CONVERSATION THAT IS USUALLY HAD
BETWEEN A SCHOOL BOARD AND THE
COMMUNITY IN GENERAL, AND TAKE
THAT CONVERSATION AWAY AND PUT
IT AT THE STATE LEVEL, SO THERE
IS NO CONVERSATION. SCHOOL
BOARDS ARE ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE
THAT ARE IN THAT COMMUNITY, AND
IF THEY DON'T LIKE WHAT THE
SCHOOL BOARD IS TEACHING, THEN
THEY WILL GET RID OF THE SCHOOL
BOARD. IF WE'RE GOING TO DO
THESE KINDS OF ACTIONS AND ALLOW
THESE KINDS OF BILLS TO GO
THROUGH, THEN WE ESSENTIALLY
SHOULD JUST GET RID OF SCHOOL
BOARDS BECAUSE THE STATE WILL BE
RUNNING THE ENTIRE SHOW. AND
THAT WILL THAT WILL DISENGAGE
PARENTS FROM HAVING A SAY AND
WHAT THEY FEEL IS APPROPRIATE OR
WHAT THEY FEEL IS NOT AND THAT'S
WHAT THIS IS REALLY ABOUT. IS
KEEPING THIS AT A LOCAL LEVEL
WHERE PEOPLE CAN ENGAGE THEIR
ELECTED OFFICIALS OR AND IF THEY
DON'T AGREE THEY CAN GET RID OF
THEM. AND SO WITH THAT I AM
OPPOSING THIS BILL. FOR THOSE
VERY REASONS. I THINK THIS HAS
BEEN BLOWN WAY OUT OF PROPORTION
BECAUSE AS FAR AS CENSORSHIP IS
CONCERNED, IF YOU GO TO THE
MARKET AND YOU GO OVER THE
MAGAZINE, I'LL GUESS WHAT THEY
DO. THEY COVER UP. A LOT OF THE
MAGAZINES ARE THEY USED TO COVER
UP MAGAZINES THAT HAD CONTENT
THAT MIGHT NOT BE APPROPRIATE.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT MY
COLLEAGUE WHO WAS A TEACHER. WAS
WAS TRYING TO POINT OUT AND
PARENTS SHOULD HAVE A RIGHT TO
BE ABLE TO GO UP. TO THEIR
SCHOOL BOARD. AND VOICE THEIR
CONCERN. ABOUT THE CONTENT. OF
SOME OF THE MATERIAL THAT'S
BEING TAUGHT. MOST OF THE
PARENTS I TALKED TO HAVE NO
PROBLEMS WITH TEACHING. THE
RESPECTING OTHER PEOPLE, NO
MATTER WHAT THEY THINK, OR WHAT
THEIR LIFESTYLE IS. WHAT THEY
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH IS WHEN IT
GETS INTO SOME OF THE NITTY THE
NITTY GRITTY OF WHAT A
RELATIONSHIP LOOKS LIKE. TO A
SIX OR SEVEN YEAR OLD. AND IF
THAT'S NOT HAPPENING IN THEIR
SCHOOL BOARD CAN PROVE THAT
THAT'S NOT HAPPENING. WELL, YOU
KNOW WHAT? THAT'S GREAT, BUT AT
LEAST THEY WERE ABLE TO ENGAGE
SO DON'T DEMONIZE THE PARENTS
WHO ARE GETTING UPSET ABOUT
THIS. BECAUSE WE'RE FUELING THE
FIRE. BY MISCHARACTERIZING WHAT
SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS ARE. SO
WITH THAT, I ASKED YOU FOR A NO
VOTE. THANK YOU. SENATOR WEN.
THANK THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
UM I JUST WANTED JUST SO THERE
WAS A COMMENT MENTIONED FROM ONE
OF MY COLLEAGUES IN ORANGE
COUNTY TALKING ABOUT ORANGE
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. I JUST
WANT TO BE CLEAR AND MAKING SURE
THAT THERE'S BEEN GIVEN FULL
CONTENT OF IT IS THAT IT WAS AN
APP. THAT WAS ASKED TO BE
BANNED. AND THE REASON ONE OF
THE PARENTS BROUGHT IT UP. IS
THAT HIS SECOND GRADE? DAUGHTER.
HAD ACCESS TO BOOKS THAT
INCLUDED AN EXAMPLE IS THAT A
POLAR BEAR? WHO GETS TO FALL IN
LOVE WITH A YOUNG SEAL. I MEAN,
THOSE ARE KIND OF THINGS THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE AGE
APPROPRIATE. UM THERE'S NO
DISCUSSION OF BOOK BAND. IT'S
ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE AS
PARENTS ARE GIVEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW WHAT OUR
CHILDREN ARE LOOKING AT. AND YOU
KNOW, I'VE THIS WHOLE SUMMER
I'VE TAKEN MY 10 YEAR OLD, UM
EVERY WEEK TO THE LIBRARY AND I
SIT WITH HIM AND I WATCHED HIM
AND WAIT AND SEE. UM YOU KNOW
THE TYPES OF BOOKS THAT HE'S
LOOKING AT, AND THAT'S WHAT
YOU'RE GETTING RIGHT NOW. IS
THIS IN ITSELF? WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT EIGHT APPROPRIATE NOT THE
ISSUES. AND SO YOU KNOW, WITH
THAT. I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY
MAKING SURE THAT THAT IS STATED
FOR THE ORANGE UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. T NO MORE MIX.
SENATOR GONZALEZ. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? THANK YOU. THIS HAS
BEEN A VERY ROBUST DISCUSSION,
AND I WANT TO THANK ALL MY
COLLEAGUES WHETHER I AGREE WITH
THEM OR NOT FOR THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION. I'M GONNA START WITH
THIS. THIS BILL DOES NOT
PRECLUDE AGE APPROPRIATENESS
DISCUSSIONS FROM THE GOVERNING
BOARD. THEY CAN STILL MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS ON WHAT IS AGE
APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM. THERE
STILL HAS TO BE GUIDANCE
PROVIDED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION, THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION ON APPROPRIATENESS AS
WELL. AGAIN I AM A PARENT OF A
THIRD GRADER WHO IS NOW YOU
KNOW, LEARNING TO READ. WHERE IS
THE AGE APPROPRIATENESS THAT
WE'RE CONSIDERING FOR HIM WHEN
BOOKS ARE BEING BANNED? WHEN IN
TEMECULA. THEY'RE BANNING BOOKS
BECAUSE THERE WAS JUST A
BIOGRAPHY OF HARVEY MILK. JUST A
BIOGRAPHY ON AN LGBTQ LEADER.
JUST A BIOGRAPHY. AND FOR THAT
REASON, TEMECULA UNIVERSE
TEMECULA VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT DECIDED TO BAN THIS
BOOK AND MY STEP SON GOES TO
SCHOOL IN TEMECULA VALLEY
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. HE'S 16
17. SO WHERE IS THE AGE
APPROPRIATENESS AND ALLOWING HIM
TO LEARN ABOUT LGBT Q HISTORY
THAT IS REALLY UNFAIR FOR OUR
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. THIS BILL
WILL ENSURE THAT WE'RE EXPELLING
DISINFORMATION. WE'RE NOT
PUTTING WRITERS, ESPECIALLY
BLACK AUTHORS, BLACK POETS,
BROWN AUTHORS, BROWN POETS,
INDIGENOUS AUTHORS, INDIGENOUS
POETS AT RISK. THAT WE'RE NOT
PERPETUATING EDUCATIONAL
CENSORSHIP. AND THEN AGAIN,
WE'RE COMPLYING WITH THE FAIR
ACT. WHICH WAS 2012.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S A SENATOR MARK
LENO, BILL THAT BASICALLY SAID
WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE
FOCUSING ON UNDERREPRESENTED
GROUPS AND THAT ARE CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT
UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS. THIS
HAS TO COMPLY WITH THE FAIR ACT
. DOING OTHERWISE IS NOT
COMPLYING WITH THE FAIR ACT.
LASTLY, I JUST WANT TO SAY IN IN
REGARDS TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
YUCAIPA. THIS IS EXACTLY THE
PROBLEM WHEN YOU'RE QUOTING
VLADIMIR LENIN. WHICH HAS NOT
BEEN SCHOLARLY SOURCED. THAT'S
EXACTLY THE PROBLEM. WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING THAT
COMES OUT OF OUR MOUTHS. STATE
SENATORS AND EVEN EDUCATORS. OUR
SCHOLARLY SOURCED. AND THAT
WE'RE NOT PERPETUATING
DISINFORMATION, AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGH THIS
BILL. I WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JACKSON, THE L
G B T Q CAUCUS AND ALL OF THE
COLLEAGUES TODAY FOR ALLOWING US
TO PRESENT THIS BILL AND FOR
EVERYBODY'S VOICES TO BE HEARD
AGAIN. LAST THING I SAID LASTLY,
BUT THE LAST LAST IS AS A
PARENT. EVERYBODY HAS THE
OPPORTUNITY AS A PARENT TO GO TO
THEIR SCHOOL BOARD. TO PETITION
THEIR SCHOOL BOARD IF THEY HAVE
AN ISSUE. AGAIN THIS BILL WILL
HOPEFULLY EVEN EMPOWER PARENTS
TO CONTINUE TO DO THAT. WHAT
WE'RE SAYING IS, DON'T BANNED
BOOKS DON'T BEND HISTORY THAT
ARE CALIFORNIA STUDENTS NEED
WITHOUT A RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
MY VOTE. THANK YOU. AND I REMIND
ALL MEMBERS OF TRUST COMMENTS
HERE. NOT DIRECTLY TOWARDS OTHER
MEMBERS. UM BUT I APPRECIATE THE
ROBUST DEBATE HERE TODAY.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HEART. A B 557
REMOVES THE SUNSET ON EXISTING
LAW TO GIVE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
THE OPTION TO TELECONFERENCE

EMERGENCIES. IT WILL ENSURE OUR

PLEASE READ. ASSEMBLY BILL 2 13,
A SEMI BUILT 40 BY SENDING
MEMBER RODRIGUEZ AND EQUALLY
INTO EMERGENCY SERVICES. THANK
YOU, MR PRESIDENT AND COLLEAGUES
. I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY
PRESENTED A B 40 ON BEHALF OF
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FREDDY
RODRIGUEZ 40 IS A BIPARTISAN
BILL THAT TAKES SEVERAL STEPS TO
PREVENT AMBULANCE PATIENT
OFFLOAD DELAYS, ALSO KNOWN AS
WALL TIME TO ENSURE AMBULANCES
ARE AVAILABLE TO RESPOND TO 911
CALLS FOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL
SERVICES. THIS HAS BEEN A
PROBLEM FOR DECADES, ACCORDING
TO A 2020 EMERGENCY SERVICES
MEDICAL AUTHORITY REPORT. EACH
YEAR, ROUGHLY 70,000
CALIFORNIANS WAY OVER AN HOUR ON
AN AMBULANCE GURNEY ONCE THEY
ARRIVE AT THE HOSPITAL. THE
AUTHORS WORKED ON THIS ISSUE FOR
SEVERAL YEARS. AS A RESULT, AMSA
CONVENED A WALL TIME TASK FORCE
IN NOVEMBER. 2021. IN JUNE 2022
THE M CELL WALL TIME TASK FORCE
VOTED ON 19 RECOMMENDATIONS TO
MITIGATE AMBULANCE, PATIENT
DELAYS. AND THIS A B 40 CODIFIES
SOME OF THE MOST IMPACTFUL
RECOMMENDATIONS THERE IN
INCLUDING BETTER DATA
COLLECTION. I WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. ANY DEBATE
MEMBERS. SEEN UN SECRETARY
PLEASE CALL UP SENATOR EDMUND.
SECOND AGNES RECOGNIZED. I
WONDER IF THE AUTHOR WOULD TAKE
A QUESTION. PRESENTER. ATTEMPT.
YES, OKAY. UM THIS CAME THROUGH
HEALTH COMMITTEE AND WE HEARD IT
AND IT PASSED AND WE MADE SOME
AMENDMENTS TO IT AND ASK THAT
THEY CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT. UM
THIS IS JUST AS ANYBODY WHO'S
BEEN IN A HOSPITAL OR AN
EMERGENCY ROOM KNOWS THEY ARE
BUSY PLACES. AND WHILE I BELIEVE
THAT WE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH
OUR WORKFORCE AND OUR ABILITY TO
PROCESS THINGS THROUGH AND I'M
HOPEFULLY A LOT OF THE WORK THAT
WE'VE DONE THESE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS WE'RE GONNA GO FAR TOWARDS
, UM, BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME
OF THE ISSUES THAT WE FIND IN
OUR E. R. S. BUT CURRENTLY WITH
WHAT THIS BILL IS DOING ITS
HOLDING THE HOSPITAL IS 100%
RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING ABLE TO
OFFLOAD PEOPLE. HOSPITALS AREN'T
ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT PATIENTS ARE
COMING IN. WHO'S COMING IN? WHAT
KIND OF STAFFING? WE KNOW WE
HAVE STAFFING RATIOS THEY CAN
ONLY ADMIT, AND AS WE'VE TALKED
EARLIER ABOUT EDUCATORS ARE
SUPPOSED TO EDUCATE. EMERGENCY
ROOMS ARE SUPPOSED TO TRIAGE.
AND WHEN YOU TRIAGE SOME FOLKS
WAIT. AND WE KNOW THAT IN OUR
CURRENT SYSTEM UH, WITH A LOT OF
PEOPLE NOT HAVING ACCESS TO
PRIMARY HEALTH CARE PEOPLE USE
THE 911 AS A WAY TO GO TO THE
HOSPITAL A LOT OF TIMES AND YOU
COULD HAVE SOMEBODY IN THERE
WITH A HEART ATTACK OR A CAR
WRECK OR SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMEBODY ELSE COMES IN ON AN
AMBULANCE THAT DOESN'T APPEAR TO
BE AS ILL. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
FOR THAT HOSPITAL THAN TO TAKE
THAT PERSON. SO WHAT WE ASKED
FOR, AND THE HOSPITALS REALIZED
THIS AND THEY WORK TOWARDS
GETTING PEOPLE OFF LOADED AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. DOESN'T DO
ANYBODY ANY GOOD TO HAVE
BACKUPS. I KNOW PERSONALLY I
HATE TO GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM
LATE AT NIGHT ON A WEEKEND IN MY
COMMUNITY BECAUSE THE ER S ARE
PACKED AND AS PEOPLE HAVE HEARD
ME SAY, I HAVE A SPOUSE AND A
LOT OF HEALTH PROBLEMS. THE 911
AND, UH, TRANSPORTING AN
AMBULANCE AND SITTING IN ERS IS
NOT FOREIGN TO ME. AND IF YOU'RE
SITTING THERE FOR A WHILE AND
YOU SEE WHAT GOES ON, WE
REALIZED WE HAVE PROBLEMS, BUT I
DON'T KNOW. HOLDING THE
HOSPITALS 100% ACCOUNTABLE. FOR
THAT TIMELINE AND WHO IS
ACCESSING THE ER AT WHAT TIME IS
TOTALLY FAIR. AND SO I ASKED
ABOUT THERE BEING A PHASE IN AS
HOSPITALS WORK TO BE ABLE TO
IMPLEMENT THIS. THEY'RE ALREADY
TRYING TO GET HERE. BUT AS THEY
CONTINUE TO WORK, IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN, I THINK HELPFUL FOR PHASE
IN AND THAT'S WHAT I ASKED FOR
IN COMMITTEE. IS THERE ANY ROOM
TO HAVE SOME KIND OF PHASE IN
I'M THE BILL HAS BEEN PRESENTED
TODAY. FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU
THROUGH THE CHAIR. THINK THROUGH
THE PRESIDING OFFICER. THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION, UM, ON BEHALF
OF THE AUTHOR, I'M NOT CLEAR AS
TO WHETHER THIS WAS AMENDED IN
OR NOT, BUT THERE ARE NO
PENALTIES OR FINES. NOW IN THE
BILL FOR EXCEEDING THE
STANDARDS. SO BASICALLY, WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IN TERMS OF
ACCOUNTABILITY IS EMC WOULD BE
REQUIRED TO INFORM THAT THE
LOCAL STANDARD WAS EXCEEDED THE
PREVIOUS MONTH, AND THEN THEY
WOULD HAVE TO ENGAGE, INCLUDING
THE E. M S PROVIDERS DIRECT
HOSPITALS TO IMPLEMENT THE
REDUCTION PROTOCOL HOST WEEKLY
CALLS WITH RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS
TO REDUCE THEIR DELAYS. BUT
AGAIN NO FINES OR PENALTIES, SO
I THINK IT SETS WHAT IT SETS UP
IS A FORCED, UH, FORCED
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION SO THAT
THIS ISSUE DOESN'T SLIP OFF THE
RADAR LIKE IT EVIDENTLY HAS OVER
THE YEARS. WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS
IS GOING TO WORK. BUT IT'S GOING
TO. IT'S GOING TO AT LEAST
MANDATE ACCOUNTABILITY TO HAVE
SOME DIALOGUE. IF THE NUMBERS
AREN'T AREN'T ALIGNING WITH WHAT
THE BILL CALLS FOR. SENATOR
CABALLERO. I'M TRYING. TO
UNDERSTAND THE. THE ISSUE, NOT
HAVING HEARD IT IN COMMITTEE. MY
CONCERN WAS ESSENTIALLY THAT OF
MY GOOD FRIEND FROM STOCKTON'S.
UM AS YOU KNOW, I HAD A HOSPITAL
IN MY DISTRICT CLOSE THIS YEAR.
AND WE HAD A SENATE COMMITTEE
THAT UM. THAT INVOLVES SEVEN OR
EIGHT SENATORS THAT WERE AT RISK
OF LOSING THEIR HOSPITALS THIS
YEAR AS WELL. AND OUR GOAL WAS
TO WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
CONTINUE TO OPERATE. POST
PANDEMIC. AND I HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY. THIS PAST MONTH TO
VISIT ANOTHER HOSPITAL. IT'S A
FAIRLY IT'S A LARGE HOSPITAL IN
FRESNO. AND THEY PROBABLY HAD 50
EMERGENCY BEDS. EVERY SINGLE BED
WAS FULL. AND AS I WALKED AROUND
THE EMERGENCY ROOM, THE LARGEST
EMERGENCY ROOM I'VE EVER SEEN.
THERE WAS A BED OUTSIDE OF EVERY
SINGLE HOSPITAL EMERGENCY. ROOM
THAT WAS THAT HAD AN OCCUPANT.
SO NOT ONLY WAS THE EMERGENCY
ROOM FULL BUT THE HALLWAY WAS
FULL AS WELL. AND THE INHUMANE
PART OF IT WAS THAT THESE PEOPLE
WERE IN GOWNS ALREADY. THEY WERE
WAITING FOR BEDS TO OPEN UP
INSIDE THE HOSPITAL IN ORDER TO
MOVE THEM IN, AND THEY WERE THEY
WERE BEING MEAN THEY WERE
SUBJECT TO EVERYBODY'S EYES
WALKING THROUGH THE EMERGENCY
ROOM, DOING THEIR PERSONAL
BUSINESS IN IN FRONT OF
EVERYBODY. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO
SEE. AND THEN THIS BILL COMES
ALONG AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW DOES IT HELP? MY
HOSPITALS, ONE THAT HASN'T
OPENED BACK FROM BEING CLOSED IN
JANUARY. THE OTHER ONE, WHICH
HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY, TOO,
AND IS BEING HELPED OUT BY
ANOTHER HOSPITAL THAT'S COMING
AND THEY'RE GONNA BE MERGING.
AND THEN THIS THIRD ONE THAT HAS
EVERY SINGLE EMERGENCY ROOM BED
FULL. IN AN ERA WHEN. YOU KNOW,
WE JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE ABILITY
. TO RECOVER FROM THE PANDEMIC,
AND WE'RE SEEING MORE PEOPLE GO
BACK INTO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE
OF COVID IT JUST IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT THE TIMING IS ABSOLUTELY
WRONG ON THIS, AND I JUST I HAVE
TO TELL YOU I HAVE THE UTMOST
RESPECT FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS. I
THINK THEY'RE THEY'RE, UM
THEY'RE THE RESPONDERS. WE WANT
TO SHOW UP WHEN WE HAVE AN
EMERGENCY, AND THEY DO AN
EXCELLENT JOB, BUT I'M I HAVE A
HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING HOW
PUTTING THE PRESSURE TO THE ON
THESE HOSPITALS AT THIS
PARTICULAR POINT IN TIME WHEN
THEY ARE ALSO TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW THEY'RE GOING TO MEET
OUR SEISMIC SAFETY REQUIREMENT.
HOW THIS MAKES SENSE. UM AND SO
I DON'T KNOW THAT I HAVE A
QUESTION FOR YOU. AS MUCH AS I'M
I'M REALLY CONCERNED WITH SAYING
YOU'VE GOT TO DO THIS AND THEN
NOT HAVING ANY MECHANISM THAT
ALLOWS THEM NUMBER ONE TO SAY
HERE ARE EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES. HERE'S WHAT
HAPPENED. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN
OUR REGION AND THEY'RE NOT BEING
A AN OPERATOR AND OFF RAMP WHERE
IF THEY HAVE A NATURAL DISASTER
OR A AN EMERGENCY IN THE REGION.
THAT NECESSITATES OR OR THAT.
KEEPS THEM FROM MEETING THEIR
GOALS I HAD AND I, YOU KNOW
THERE'S NO OFF RAMP, AND SO I
GUESS THE HARD PART I HAVE IS
THEY'RE TRYING TO DO THEIR BEST.
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE
OVERCROWDED. UM AND I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT THE MONEY IS GOING
SOMEWHERE WHERE IT SHOULDN'T. SO
I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW THIS HOW THIS HELPS GET US
TO MORE EMERGENCY BEDS AND A
QUICKER OFFLOAD TIME BECAUSE I
KNOW THE AMBULANCE SERVICES WORK
REALLY HARD TO OFFLOAD THEIR
PATIENTS. THEY'RE INTERESTED IN
HITTING THE STREETS AGAIN AND
GOING OUT AND SAVING SOMEBODY.
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE SITTING IN
A PARKING LOT WITH A PERSON
INSIDE. SO UM, MAYBE YOU CAN
HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IS
GOING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE SO
WILL YOU TELL REMINDER TO GO
THROUGH THE CHAIR? WILL YOU TAKE
A YEAH, I'LL TAKE IT AS A
QUESTION TO TRY TO HELP. I, UM
MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE BILL IN
PRINT, AS NOTED, IS IT
SUBSEQUENTLY PRIMARILY FORCES A
STAKEHOLDER CONVERSATION? IT'S
IT SETS UP. DATA POINTS. THAT
ARE UNIFORM. UM ON QUESTIONS
LIKE WHEN WAS THE ARRIVAL OF THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT? WHEN WAS
THE PATIENT CARE ACTUALLY
TRANSFERRED? WHEN WERE THEY BACK
IN SERVICE AFTER THE HOSPITAL,
SO EVERYBODY GETS ON THE SAME
PAGE IN TERMS OF DATA. THEN
THERE'S A STAKEHOLDER DISCUSSION
IF THE GOAL OF 20 MINUTES ISN'T
MET, I THINK AT ONE LEVEL AND
I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE THIS
SOUND LIKE IT'S MAGNANIMOUS OR
GREAT FOR THE ISSUE. SENATOR
THAT YOU BROUGHT UP OR YOU THE
SENATOR'S BROUGHT UP, BUT THE
FACT THAT MATTER IS THE
TRANSPARENCY IN THE STAKEHOLDER
DISCUSSION AROUND WHAT REALLY IS
THE PROBLEM IF IT'S OVERCROWDING
, IF IT'S A HOSPITAL, THAT'S IN
EFFECT, PARTIALLY SHUT DOWN OR
AN EMERGENCY ROOM THAT'S IN
EFFECT BEEN CRIPPLED BY LACK OF
STAFFING OR FINANCING. ALL OF
THAT'S GOING TO COME OUT THROUGH
THIS PROCESS, AND I THINK IT
WILL LEAD TO FACILITATING SOME
OF THE OTHER REMEDIES THAT WE'VE
BEEN LOOKING AT AS A LEGISLATURE
LIKE BUDGET LIKE FUNDING LIKE
AUGMENTATION OF SOME OF THESE
RURAL HOSPITALS SO THAT THEY CAN
BE STAFFED UP ENOUGH TO MEET
THESE THESE TARGET GOALS OF 2020
MINUTE TURNAROUND. BUT AS IT IS
RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS TO ME WE
JUST DON'T HAVE UNIFORM DATA.
AND WE DON'T KNOW IN EACH AND
EVERY CASE WHETHER THE CAUSE IS
THE EXAMPLES THAT YOU JUST CITED
IN IN IN MANY CASES, SOME CASES
OR A FEW. WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
BUT ENACTING THIS BILL WILL GIVE
US THAT INFORMATION. I HAVE
SENATOR BLAKES PEARSON, A RAW
CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU. I WANT
TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH MY TWO
COLLEAGUES, COMMENTS AND CONCERN
FOR THE HOSPITALS. I'M
PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
FACT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE
WHO WANT TO SAVE THE COST OF
TAKING AN AMBULANCE AND THEY
DRIVE THEMSELVES IN OR THEY WALK
IN. AND THIS WILL BY NECESSITY
PRIORITIZE THOSE WHO ARE IN
AMBULANCES OVER EVERYBODY ELSE,
AND THAT'S A REALLY A CONCERN. A
BIG CONCERN OF MINE. I THINK
THAT IN READING, UM THAT THIS
BILL AND ITS EVOLUTION WHERE IT
MY UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE IT
CURRENTLY IS, IS THAT THERE IS
THE REQUIREMENT THAT 90% OF THE
TIME SOMEBODY IN AN AMBULANCE
WOULD BE BROUGHT INTO THE
HOSPITAL AND DEALT WITH WITHIN
30 MINUTES. 90% OF THE TIME AND
WHAT THE HOSPITALS ARE ASKING
FOR. SEEMS VERY REASONABLE. IT'S
THE FLEXIBILITY TO HAVE THAT
PHASED IN OVER THREE YEARS,
STARTING AT 60% 60% OF PEOPLE IN
AMBULANCES WILL BE BROUGHT IN
WITHIN 30 MINUTES. AND THEN IT
WOULD BE PHASED IN AT 10% FOR
THE NEXT THREE YEARS. GETTING TO
90% SO, TIM. SO MY QUESTION IF I
MAY DIRECT A QUESTION TO THE
AUTHOR IS, IS THIS STILL
SOMETHING THAT IS AN ONGOING
DISCUSSION? I HAD UNDERSTOOD
THAT MAYBE THIS WOULD BE
SOMETHING THAT WAS ACCEPTED. I
DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT IT HAS
BEEN, BUT I JUST WANTED TO
SPECIFICALLY CLARIFY THAT BEFORE
NEEDING TO TAKE A VOTE TODAY.
THANK YOU, UH, AS WE TAKE A
QUESTION I WILL TAKE A QUESTION
, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER AS
TO WHETHER OR NOT THE AUTHORS
CONTINUING OVER THE LAST WEEK OF
SESSION TO, UM, CONDUCT THOSE
PHASE IN DISCUSSIONS AGAIN, I
JUST WANT TO REITERATE THAT
WOULD BE OFFICERS, PRIMARILY
TRYING TO DO IS SET UP A
STANDARD OF 30 MINUTES. 90% OF
THE TIME IN TERMS OF RESPONSE
TIME AS WE AS WE KNOW, WHATEVER
THE EXCUSES ARE. THESE ARE LIFE
AND DEATH SECONDS THAT ARE THAT
ARE BEING TALKED ABOUT HERE. BUT
AT THE SAME TIME UH, IN A SENSE
, RATHER THAN A PHASE IN HIS
CREATED, THE OFFICERS CREATED A
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS THAT WILL
ALLOW UM FOR DISCUSSION AND
FURTHER REMEDIES TO COME INTO
PLAY. I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY
I KNOW THERE'S NO THERE'S NO, UM
FINANCIAL OR FISCAL PENALTY IN
THE BILL. UM, AT THIS POINT IN
TIME. AND SO IN SOME SENSE, I
DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S MAKING
THE PHASE IN DISCUSSION MOOD.
BUT BY TAKING ANY AWAY ANY HARD
ACCOUNTABILITY LIKE PENALTIES.
THERE'S GONNA THERE'S GOING TO
BE 234 YEARS OF DIALOGUE IN MANY
OF THESE CASES ANYWAY, AND
HOPEFULLY IT WILL LEAD TO SOME
LONG TERM RESOLUTION. SENATOR
OFF. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
YOU KNOW, BEFORE THIS GIG, I DID
OTHER THINGS, AND SOME OF THE
THINGS I DID WAS SERVE ON
HOSPITAL BOARDS OVER THE DECADES
AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU SITTING
ON HOSPITAL BOARDS AND GETTING
REPORTS FROM HOSPITAL EMERGENCY
DEPARTMENTS AND HOSPITAL CEO S.
THIS HAS BEEN A HOW OLD I AM.
THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. FOR
DECADES. DECADES A PROBLEM THAT
HAS BEEN THERE THAT HAS NOT BEEN
SOLVED. AND I'M NOT BLAMING
ANYONE. IT'S A VERY COMPLICATED
ISSUE, AND I'M NOT INTERESTED IN
PUNISHING HOSPITALS FOR THIS
PARTICULAR SITUATION. UNLESS AND
UNTIL WE DECIDE THAT PUNISHMENT.
IT IS NECESSARY AND APPROPRIATE.
BUT, YOU KNOW. IS CAUSED BY A
VARIETY OF THINGS. E M S
STAFFING IN AMBULANCES. THEY
DON'T HIRE ENOUGH PARAMEDICS
THEY HAVE E. M. T S THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT. THE FIRE SERVICE IS
MOST OFTEN THE FIRST RESPONDER
WHO'S ON THE SCENE. THE FIRE
SERVICE WITH THE PARAMEDICS.
PARAMEDICS STARTS TREATMENT ON
THE INDIVIDUAL THAT BADLY NEEDS
IT. AND IT'S PARAMEDICS
PROVIDING THE TREATMENT AND THE
PARAMEDICS PERFORM A DIFFERENT
SCOPE OCCUPY MEAN WORK UNDER A
DIFFERENT SCOPE OF PRACTICE THAN
E. M T S. SO ONCE THE PARAMEDICS
STARTS THE TREATMENT AND THE
PARAMEDIC CLIMBS INTO THE
AMBULANCE TO ACCOMPANY THE
ANIMAL AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL
, THE PARAMEDIC CANNOT LEAVE THE
GURNEY. AND LEAVE THE GURNEY AND
THE PATIENT WITH AN E. M T UNTIL
THE PHYSICIAN IN THE HOSPITAL OR
THE APPROPRIATE HOSPITAL
EMPLOYEE TAKES CHARGE OF THE
PATIENT AND STARTS TO PROVIDE
CARE. SO WHILE THIS WALL TIME IS
OCCURRING, WE HAVE A PARAMEDIC
WHO OUGHT TO BE ON THE STREETS
HANDLING OTHER CALLS SITTING IN
THE HOSPITAL, HUGGING THE WALL
UNTIL THE PARAMEDIC IS RELIEVED
TO RETURN TO THE FIRE SERVICE
AND THE FAIREST OF THE FAIR UNIT
TO HIT THE STREETS. WE HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH STAFFING. HOSPITAL
STAFFING NURSES, ALLIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS. IN SOME CASES,
PHYSICIANS MAYBE THEY'RE NOT
HIRING THEM. BUT ALSO WE KNOW
HERE IN THIS FLOOR THAT THERE'S
A PROBLEM WITH WORKFORCE IN THE
HEALTH CARE ARENA. SO IT'S BOTH
HOSPITAL STAFFING AND THE
AVAILABILITY OF STAFFING TO
HIGHER IN THESE HOSPITALS. AND
OF COURSE, WE ALL KNOW SOME OF
US BETTER THAN OTHERS. THE LACK
OF ACUTE CARE INPATIENT
PSYCHIATRIC BEDS IN THIS STATE.
THE AT LEAST UP TO THE PRESENT
OF FAILURE TO APPROPRIATELY DEAL
WITH THAT, AND WE KNOW THAT OUR
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS IN THIS
STATE ARE ARE DEFACTO ACUTE CARE
INPATIENT HOSPITAL. CARE
FACILITIES ARE EMERGENCY ROOM
PHYSICIANS OR EMERGENCY ROOM
NEWS NURSES HAVE BECOME
PSYCHIATRIST, PSYCHOLOGIST AND
PSYCHIATRIC TEXT. THESE ARE
VERY, VERY COMPLICATED ISSUES.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SOLVE THEM
OVERNIGHT. I WAS ONE OF THE ONES
WHO ASKED FOR THE OFF OFF RAMP
OR ON RAMP. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO
CALL IT IN THE HEALTH COMMITTEE.
APPARENTLY THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO
BE FEASIBLE. I STILL SUPPORT
THAT, BUT WHAT I REALLY SUPPORT
AFTER DECADES AND DECADES OF
THIS PROBLEM, ONE NOT PUNISHING
HOSPITALS GIVE THEM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO WORK IT OUT. BUT
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IN PART
DOES BECAUSE IT REQUIRES AND
PROMPTS A PLAN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF AN EMERGENCY SERVICES PLAN TO
DEAL WITH THIS WALL TÌM. AND IT
PROMPTS DISCUSSION IN LOCAL
COMMUNITIES ABOUT HOW TO SOLVE
THIS ISSUE. AS WE ARE ATTEMPTING
TO SOLVE THE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT
ARE REALLY CREATING IT. THE
WORKFORCE SHORTAGE THE SHORTAGE
OF PARAMEDICS AND E M S UNITS.
AND OF COURSE, THE ACUTE CARE
INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC CAPACITY
BED SHORTAGE THAT'S FORCING OUR
EMERGENCY ROOMS TO BE PACKED
WITH PEOPLE SHOULD. THAT SHOULD
BE ANOTHER FACILITIES. SO THIS
IS CLEARLY NOT A PERFECT BILL. I
WOULD CLEARLY RATHER HAVE THIS
RAMP UP THE LONGER THAN 2024.
MAYBE 25 MAYBE 26 BECAUSE IT'S
GOING TO TAKE AWHILE TO SOLVE
ALL THESE PROBLEMS. AND ROLL
OUT. HOPEFULLY SOME PSYCHIATRIC
BED BOND MONEY THAT WE CAN
EXPAND THAT CAPACITY IF THAT
HAPPENS TO OCCUR. BUT AS IT IS,
I THINK THE PLANNING AND THE
STUDY AND THE CONVERSATION IS
WORTHWHILE. AND I THINK WE
SHOULD DO IT AND I PLAN TO VOTE
I AND I'D ASK YOU TO DO SO AS
WELL. CENTER GROVE. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT. UM WHAT A
DIFFICULT BILL HIGHLINE. SOME OF
MY COLLEAGUES WITH MY COLLEAGUE
FROM MERCED HE USED TO BE FROM
SALINAS. BUT NOW SHE'S FROM
MERCED. UM UNDER REDISTRICTING,
BUT WE ACTUALLY WORKED ALMOST
THE FIRST SEVEN MONTHS OF THIS
YEAR ON HOSPITAL LEGISLATION
BECAUSE OF THE MADEIRA CLOSURE,
AND THEN ME GETTING NOTIFICATION
THAT KOREA AND RIDGECREST QUI
SPECIFICALLY HAD LESS THAN 30
DAYS WORTH OF CASH LEFT. IN
ORDER TO OPERATE A HOSPITAL THAT
SERVES 70% OF OUR MEDICAL
RECIPIENTS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA 70% OF THE PATIENTS
THEY SEE NOT IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA, BUT IT'S THE HIGHEST
PREDOMINANTLY, UM, MEDICAL
HOSPITAL. UM WITHOUT THESE
HOSPITALS, WE DON'T HAVE ACCESS
TO CARE. AND EVEN REALISTICALLY
WITH THESE HOSPITALS, THERE'S
NOT A LOT OF ACCESS TO CARE
BECAUSE THERE'S VERY FEW DOCTORS
AND NURSES TO BE ABLE TO TREAT
INDIVIDUALS SPECIFICALLY IN OUR
RURAL COMMUNITIES. I GET THE
POINT ON WALL TIME. YOU KNOW, I
ECHO MY COLLEAGUE FROM THE
RIVERSIDE AREA. THE BOTTOM LINE
IS, IS THAT DO YOU REALLY WANT A
PARAMEDIC OR AN INDIVIDUAL
STANDING ON THE WALL FOR HOURS
AT A TIME WHEN THEY COULD BE OUT
THERE AS A FIRST RESPONDER,
HELPING SOME OTHER CONSTITUENTS
IN A CAR WRECK OR A STROKE OR
HEART ATTACK OR SOME OTHER
REASON THAT YOU CALL 911 ON AN
AMBULANCE. THIS IS A VERY TOUGH
SITUATION TO BE IN, BECAUSE, UH
ANYMORE. I REALLY DO FEEL LIKE
ANYMORE IMPACTS THAT THIS BODY
PUTS ON OUR HOSPITALS WITHOUT
OFF RAMPS TO SEISMIC, AND I'M
NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT A
CONDITION HERE. BUT I'M JUST
SAYING, LIKE IN RIDGECREST. WE
HAD ONE OF THE LARGEST
EARTHQUAKES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IN RECENT YEARS AND
THE ONLY BUILDING PART THAT WAS
STRUCTURALLY SOUND IS THE OLD
PART. THAT WASN'T SEISMIC
RETROFITTED. EVERYBODY HAD TO BE
MOVED OUT OF THE NEW PART THAT
WAS SEISMIC RETROFITTED. AND
APPROVED, SO I JUST THINK THAT
THE EXPENSE THAT'S ON OUR
HOSPITALS DOES NOT ALLOW US TO
HAVE ADEQUATE HOSPITAL SERVICES
. UM I THINK HOSPITALS ARE
STRUGGLING. I THINK THERE'S
LEGISLATION GOING THIS BUILDING
THAT IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO PUT
BURDENS ON OUR HOSPITALS THAT
WILL LIMIT THE CARE THAT WE HAVE
FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS. UM, BUT
AGAIN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
ISSUE, DO WE REALLY WANT FIRST
RESPONDERS STANDING ON THE WALL
FOR HOURS AT A TIME IS 20
MINUTES AND REALISTIC?
ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN, IF THE
AVERAGE IS 30 THE MINUTES 90% OF
THE TIME. WHY WOULD YOU ADJUST
IT TO 20 MINUTES? I REALIZE THAT
SOMETIMES LEGISLATION LIKE THIS
GOES THROUGH THE BUILDING SO
THAT THERE CAN BE SOME TYPE OF
AGREEMENT OR CONVERSATION THAT
MOVES FORWARD TO COME TO SOME
KIND OF ALLIANCE, OR, YOU KNOW,
UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU KNOW THEY
WOULD, THAT PARTIES WOULD COME
TOGETHER AND WORK IT OUT
THEMSELVES, BUT THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT SITUATION. UM, GONNA
STAY OFF THE BILL NOW AND THE
REASON WHY I'M STAYING OFF THE
BILL IS OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE UM, I
SEE BOTH SIDES OF THE ISSUE. BUT
I AM VERY, VERY, VERY CONCERNED
SPECIFICALLY FOR OUR RURAL
HOSPITALS ABOUT THE MANDATES
COMING OUT OF THIS BUILDING, AND
IF WE DON'T OFFER SERVICES TO
OUR RURAL COMMUNITIES, UM IT'S
BAD ENOUGH. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
US HAVE TO DRIVE FOR CHILDCARE
SERVICES. CANCER SERVICES. YOU
YOUR VALLEY CHILDREN'S 2.5 HOURS
NORTH OR L A 2.5 HOURS SOUTH AND
THAT'S PRETTY HARD TO SWALLOW
WHEN YOU CAN'T AFFORD GAS MONEY
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND
ESPECIALLY FOR POOR COMMUNITIES
, SO I HOPE THEY CAN COME TO AN
AGREEMENT. IT IS A VERY
DIFFICULT SITUATION. UM I THINK
LIKE I SAID THE HOSPITALS HAVE A
POINT. AND ABSOLUTELY THAT, YOU
KNOW OUR FIRST RESPONDERS BUT AS
A PIECE OF LEGISLATION, SP
AMBULANCES THAT WERE ON THE
FIRST CALL, AND THEN HERZBERG
PASSED A BILL THAT SAID THAT THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT WOULD BE WELL,
WHY DON'T WE LET THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT GO BACK IN THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT AND LET OUR
AMBULANCES TAKE CARE OF THOSE
INDIVIDUALS? UM THOSE AMBULANCE
COMPANIES TAKE CARE OF THOSE
INDIVIDUALS THAT GET THE 911
CALL, SO THAT COULD BE A
POSSIBLE SOLUTION ANYWAYS, THANK
YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY
ARGUMENTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THIS
BILL, AND I'LL BE LAYING OFF.
KRISTIARTO. SO HOPEFULLY I CAN
EASE EVERYBODY'S MIND ON THIS
ONE. JUST A LITTLE. I AM
STRUGGLING WITH THIS, TOO. AND
THE REASON I'M STRUGGLING THIS
BECAUSE I KNOW THIS FIRSTHAND,
AND, UM, THE ISSUE IS ON BOTH
SIDES. I ON THE FIRESIDE
MANAGING EQUIPMENT AND RESOURCES
SO THAT WE MAINTAIN THE COVERAGE
THAT WE NEED. AH TO SERVE THE
PUBLIC IS REALLY IMPORTANT AND
IT'S BEEN IMPACTED AND SOMETIMES
BY GREAT GREAT BY A GREAT DEAL
BY THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE BECAUSE
WE'RE TAKING SQUADS AND WE'RE
TAKING AMBULANCES OUT OF SERVICE
FOR HOURS AT A TIME, WHICH MEANS
SERVICE DELIVERY TIMES FOR OTHER
AREAS START BEING IMPACTED. UM
TRYING TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE
WITH THE HOSPITALS. AND E. M S
HAS NOT WORKED FOR THE LAST 35
YEARS. OTHERWISE WE WOULDN'T BE
TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY. THE
HOSPITALS THEMSELVES HAVE BEEN
SUPER IMPACTED BY THE COLLAPSE
OF SOME OF THE YOU KNOW, TRAUMA
CENTERS, AND THINGS LIKE THAT
HAVE LEFT LEFT US WITH LESS
HOSPITALS SERVING MORE PEOPLE.
LITIGATION IS CREATED MORE
CROWDED CONDITIONS INSIDE E. R.
S AH, THERE ARE STAFFING
OBLIGATIONS THAT HOSPITALS HAVE
TO FOLLOW. AND SO YOU CAN'T LOAD
THEM WITH A PATIENT AND EXCEED
THEIR STAFFING REQUIREMENTS. SO
THERE'S A LOT OF MOVING PARTS
HERE. BUT THIS IS THE ONE PART
THAT I'M KIND OF KIND OF LANDING
ON. AND I WAS A LITTLE DISMAYED
BECAUSE I THINK 90% AND SIX
MONTHS IS A LITTLE MUCH. FOR
THEM TO DO. BUT THERE IS NO
FINANCIAL PENALTY FOR THAT,
WHICH MEANS WHAT THEY'RE GOING
TO BE DOING IS HAVING TO REPORT
WHY THEY'RE NOT MEETING THAT 90.
AND THAT IS ANY QUESTION. THAT
WE REALLY NEED TO GET UH, IN
ANSWER FOR BECAUSE THAT WILL
HELP US EVENTUALLY ADDRESS AND
SOLVE THE PROBLEM, OR AT LEAST
GET THE RIGHT RESOURCES INTO THE
RIGHT PLACES SO THAT THE PROBLEM
CAN BE SOLVED. IF WE DON'T MOVE
THIS BILL FORWARD. THEN I FEAR
NOTHING HAPPENS AT ALL. FOR
ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, LEGION OF
TIME. UM SO IT'S REALLY YOU
KNOW, FOR ME, IT'S I AM NOT
BLAMING THE HOSPITAL FOR THIS.
I'M SORRY. IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT
OVER THE YEARS. YEAH, THERE'S
SOME. SOMETIMES THERE'S SOME
INTERNAL CONFLICTS. BUT THOSE
ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THE
REAL ISSUES ARE THE STRUCTURAL
ISSUES WITHIN RMS AND HOSPITAL
SYSTEMS THAT HAVE CLASHED IN
ORDER FOR US TO SOLVE THOSE THE
ONLY WAY WE CAN DO IT IS TO GO
FORWARD. FIND OUT WHAT THOSE
PROBLEMS ARE. SO WHILE THIS BILL
DID NOT DO EVERYTHING THAT I
ASKED, I WAS HOPING FOR BECAUSE
I WAS ON THE INITIAL
CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS AND MY
ONE ASK WAS THIS CAN'T BE SOLVED
ON THE BACKS OF ONE AGENCY OR
THE OTHER. THIS IS AN EVERYBODY
GET TOGETHER AND TRY TO FIX
THIS. THE 90% WILL GIVE US I
THINK IT'S A LITTLE MUCH, BUT AT
LEAST IT'LL GET US THE DATA THAT
WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS
REALISTIC. AND THEN IT CAN BE
REVISITED. AND IF IT MOVES OFF
THIS FLOOR, THEN WE CAN AT LEAST
HOPEFULLY THEY CAN HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE AND MAYBE MAKE SOME
CHANGES THERE TO FIX IT. UM TO
ADDRESS THAT PART SO TODAY. I
AM. I'M JUST GONNA LAY OFF IT.
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE THIS
BILL GO SO THAT WE CAN ONCE AND
FOR ALL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. UM
AND SO WITH THAT I WILL LEAVE IT
UP TO YOU TO VOTE. HOWEVER YOUR
CONSCIENCE SAYS YOU SHOULD. OR,
HOWEVER YOU THINK THIS PROBLEM
CAN BE SOLVED? BUT I DON'T WANT
TO KICK IT BACK INTO ANOTHER
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS IN A
DIFFERENT YEAR. BECAUSE WE NEED
TO SOLVE IT NOW, FOR THE SAKE OF
OUR CONSTITUENTS. THANK YOU. YOU
KNOW WHERE? MIKE CENTER CORTEZ
E. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? YES,
YES, THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. UM
LOOK, THE AUTHOR. SOME OF THEM
EMBROIDERIES IS PROCEEDED WITH
NOT ONLY GREAT EFFORT, BUT GREAT
INTEGRITY. I THINK ON THIS BILL
AND IN TERMS OF WHAT WAS IN THE
BALANCE AND WHAT COULD BE
COMPROMISED AND WHAT COULDN'T BE
COMPROMISED. IF THE METRIC
THAT'S BEEN ESTABLISHED IS 30
MINUTES 90% OF THE TIME. FOR THE
AUTHOR TO COME BACK AND
COMPROMISE THAT STANDARD, WHICH
IS AND AGREED UPON STANDARD BY
AMSA WOULD NOT BE AN APPROPRIATE
COMPROMISE. FOR THE AUTHOR TO
COME IN AND SAY, LET'S FACE
SOMETHING IN THAT HOSPITALS. BUT
UH AND EMERGENCY PROVIDERS CMES
ARE SUPPOSED TO START REPORTING
15 MONTHS FROM NOW WOULD BE A
COMPROMISE OF INTEGRITY. WHY
SHOULDN'T THEY START REPORTING
THEIR DATA 15 MONTHS FROM NOW?
THE ONLY THING LEFT WHICH WAS A
COMPROMISE WITH GREAT INTEGRITY
WAS TO SAY WORK. WILL AMEND OUT
THE FINES AND PENALTIES IN THE
BILL. SO NOBODY'S GONNA GET HURT
BY THIS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO
BRING EVERYBODY TOGETHER TO
START DRAWING. ULTIMATE
CONCLUSIONS ABOUT WHAT TO DO.
PARTICULARLY IN THOSE CASES.
WHERE AT THE END OF 2024
DECEMBER 31ST 2024. WE SEE THAT
FOLKS BY THEIR OWN DATA OR NOT.
HITTING THEIR MARKS. I THINK
IT'S A VERY, VERY GOOD BILL. UM,
I THINK IT IS THE FIRST TIME AS
WE HAVE SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN
IN YEARS THAT SOMEBODY HAS BEEN
ABLE TO WADE IN LEGISLATIVELY IN
CREATE A FRAMEWORK FOR GOING
FORWARD. UM THAT REALLY
LITERALLY DOESN'T PENALIZE
ANYBODY BUT BRINGS EVERYBODY THE

ASIDE MORATORIUM TO BETTER
PERFECT PROTECT WILDLIFE FROM
UNINTENDED ROAD GENOCIDE
POISONING, WHILE MAINTAINING
EXCEPTIONS FOR IT'S USED TO
PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH, WATER
SUPPLIES AND AGRICULTURE. RECENT
EVIDENCE FROM OUR DFW DEFICIENT
ARTIFICIAL WILDLIFE. SUGGEST
THERE'S STILL WIDESPREAD
EXPOSURE AND DEATH TO WILDLIFE
FROM RODENT ASIDES. SOMETHING
LIKE 3000 HUMAN POISONINGS A
YEAR AS WELL. ÁP 13 22 REQUIRES
THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF PESTICIDE
REGULATION ACT STRONGER

JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE'RE
MOVING IN A DIRECTION. I
UNDERSTAND WHY WE'RE TRYING TO
GO THAT WAY. BUT WE MUST IF
WE'RE REALLY GOING TO GET, UM
UH, FOCUS ON COAGULANTS AND
THESE TYPES OF PESTICIDES THAT
WE NEED IN AGRICULTURE. WE MUST
GO AFTER THE BLACK MARKET. THOSE
WHO ARE HAVING A MARIJUANA GROWS
AND USING THESE THAT'S THAT'S
THE PROBLEM. WHEN WE'RE GETTING
MOST OF OUR CONTAMINATION IS NOT
FROM LIABLE. GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE
REGULATED IN THE BUSINESS, SO
I'M GONNA BE A NO ON THIS VOTE.
I THINK THERE'S MORE WORK THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE. FOR THE
ILLICIT MARKET OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
GROWING MARIJUANA AND POISONING
THE WILDLIFE OUT THERE, AND
THERE'S NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT
IT WHILE WE'RE PENALIZING PEOPLE

THE COMMENTS. I WILL SAY THAT
THERE ARE LOTS OF ALTERNATIVES
OUT THERE. UH AND WE KNOW THAT

EXTENDING THIS TO ALL THE WAY TO
HIGH SCHOOL. CERTAINLY THE BILL
WHEN IT PASSED OUR HOUSE SO OUT
OF THE HOUSE OF ORIGIN, IT HAD
ELIMINATED WILLFUL DEFIANCE.
SUSPENSIONS FROM. FOR ALL PUBLIC
SCHOOL GRADES ALL THE WAY
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL IN THE
ASSEMBLY. IT WAS AMENDED SO THAT
IT'S STILL ELIMINATES THOSE
SUSPENSIONS. HOWEVER THERE IS A
