WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT AND WE
WILL ALSO USE THE TELECONFERENCE
SERVICE SONORITY READ THAT
NUMBER. THE PUBLIC COMMENT WILL
BE HEARD AFTER WE HAVE THE
PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION ON
THE ITEM THAT'S BEFORE US. I AND
THAT ITEM IS A B 1 26. IT'S A
SINGLE, AH, BILL THAT WERE HAVE
BEFORE US THAT I DON'T HAVE A
QUORUM YET. SO IN EFFECT, WE'RE
GOING TO START AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE. BUT NOW BACK TO
THE BILL, WE WILL BE HEARING THE
BILL WILL HERE TODAY IS A B 1 TO
6 RELATING TO VEHICLE AIR
POLLUTION. IT ALLOWS US TO
EXTEND CALIFORNIA'S CLEAN AIR
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM ALSO
REFERRED TO AS THE CORAL MOYER
PROGRAM. AH WHICH I WAS THE
AUTHOR FOR THAT EXTENSION IN A B
EIGHT. BACK IN THE WHEN I WAS IN
THE ASSEMBLY. THIS BILL WAS PART
OF THE 23 24 BUDGET DISCUSSIONS
AND WAS HEARD BY THIS COMMITTEE
ON JUNE 26TH. BUT IT HAS BEEN
SINCE I'VE BEEN AMENDED, SO THAT
IS WHY IT IS BEFORE US TODAY,
HOWEVER, IT IS NOT A FORMAL
BUDGET BILL IS A POLICY BILL,
AND SO BEFORE WE BEGIN BY
SHARING THE LOW. DO YOU HAVE ANY
COMMENTS? I'LL JUST SAY I HAD
COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN HOW MUCH
FUN AND END OF SESSION WEEKENDS.
I WON'T COMMENT TO THAT. I
SUPPOSE IF YOU HAVE A CERTAIN
DEFINITION OF FUN UM ALRIGHT, SO
AH! WE WILL BEGIN WITH OUR
PRESENTERS AND AUTHORS, ASSEMBLY
MEMBER ELOISE RACE AND SENATOR
LENA GONZALEZ. IF YOU'D LIKE TO
COME UP TO. YOU CAN BOTH COME UP
TO THE PODIUM. UM OKAY?
YOU MAY PROCEED. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR AND SENATORS. WHEN
WE'RE LOOKING AT EXTENDING A
SUNSET, YOU SAY IT'S EASY
REAUTHORIZATION. IT'S EASY.
THERE'S NOTHING EASY ABOUT THIS
BILL. AND WHAT WAS GOOD ABOUT IT
IS THAT WE HAVE THE INPUT OF SO
MANY STAKEHOLDERS. PEOPLE WHO
AGREED WITH THE LANGUAGE AS IT
WAS, AND PEOPLE WHO DISAGREED,
AND IT WAS BEING ABLE TO GET
TOGETHER WITH THE ASSEMBLY OF
THE ASSEMBLY LEADERSHIP WITH THE
SENATE, WITH THE SENATE
LEADERSHIP AND WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND HIS TEAM.
AND COMING UP WITH LANGUAGE THAT
WE ALL FEEL IS THE BEST LANGUAGE
POSSIBLE. SO HERE IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH SENATOR LENA GONZALEZ,
PRESENTING A B 1 26, WHICH WILL
REAUTHORIZE AND MODERNIZED THREE
CLEAN TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS
THAT HAVE BEEN IN PLACE SINCE
2007 SENATOR GONZALEZ WILL TOUCH
ON THESE PROGRAMS. MOMENTARILY.
THE SPILL SECURES OVER $2
BILLION IN XEV FUNDING TO HELP
TRANSITION THE TRANSPORTATION
SECTOR TOWARD CLEANER VEHICLES.
IT ALSO INCLUDES THE
INFRASTRUCTURE AND MOBILITY
OPTIONS. I WANT TO THANK
LEADERSHIP IN BOTH HOUSES AND
GOVERNORS TEAM FOR FACILITATING
NEGOTIATIONS AND FOR HELPING
FINALIZE THIS HISTORIC DEAL. IT
STRIKES A BALANCE BETWEEN
PROVIDING DEDICATED FUNDING TO
THE HYDROGEN INDUSTRY, PROVIDING
THE PUBLIC WITH ACCOUNTABILITY
AND TRANSPARENCY. MEASURES FOR
STATE FUNDED INFRASTRUCTURE AND
ENSURING THAT FUNDING IS
PRIORITIZED IN COMMUNITIES THAT
NEEDED THE MOST. RECENT
AMENDMENTS REQUIRE THAT 15% OF
THE CLEAN TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM
FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED ANNUALLY TO
HYDROGEN REFUELING
INFRASTRUCTURE UNTIL 2030 IT
ESTABLISHES A PREFERENCE FOR
CLEAN HYDROGEN. THAT IS THE
LEAST CARBON INTENSIVE AND IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL
CLEAN HYDROGEN FEDERAL TAX
CREDIT. AND IT ALSO INCLUDES
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES ON BOTH
HYDROGEN AND EVIE CHARGING
STATIONS ARE REQUIRED DATA TO BE
REPORTED TO MONITOR RELIABILITY
AND ACCESSIBILITY OF THIS
INFRASTRUCTURE, AS WELL AS
REPORTING HOW CLEAN IT IS. THIS
AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE
CULMINATION OF YEARS OF WORK,
AND WE BELIEVE THAT WE ARE IN A
PLACE THAT ADDRESSES ALL THE
ISSUES BY BOTH SUPPORTERS AND
OPPOSITION. I WANT TO THANK
SENATOR GONZALEZ FOR PARTNERING
WITH ME TO CLOSE THE DEAL, AND
NOW I'D LIKE TO ASK HER TO
ADDRESS THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU
, MADAM CHAIR AND MR VICE CHAIR
. AND, YES, IT HAS BEEN A VERY
EVENTFUL END OF SESSION WEEK.
ESPECIALLY WITH THIS BILL, AND I
WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR
INDULGENCE HERE. BUT ASSEMBLY
BILL 1 26 HAS MENTIONED WELL,
WHAT WILL CERTAINLY MODERNIZED
THE CTP CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM. THIS IS
A VERY EXCITING PROGRAM, OF
COURSE, THE AIR QUALITY
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AS WELL AS
THE ENHANCED FLEET MODERNIZATION
AND, UM, I APPRECIATE MY
COLLEAGUE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RAISE
, AS WELL AS SENATOR NEWMAN HERE
ON THE DIET AS WELL AS MANY OF
YOU WHO HAVE ADDED YOUR THOUGHTS
AND INSIGHT HERE. IT'S BEEN
CERTAINLY A LABOR OF LOVE FOR
ALL OF US WITH SO MANY FOLKS
THAT HAVE HAD THEIR MARK ON THIS
THIS INCREDIBLE BILL? UM,
SPECIFICALLY A B 1 26 WILL
SUPPORT FUNDING FOR DEPLOYMENT
OF HEAVY AND MEDIUM DUTY
VEHICLES FILLED GAPS IN LIGHT
DUTY VEHICLE CHARGING
INFRASTRUCTURE. PRIORITIZE
HYDROGEN VEHICLE REFUELING
INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH DEDICATED
FUNDING CARVE OUT OF AT LEAST
15% AND REQUIRE 50% OF THE FUNDS
TO BE SPENT ON PROJECTS THAT
DIRECTLY BENEFIT RESIDENTS OF
DISADVANTAGED AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. AND IT WILL ENSURE
STATES MOST IMPACTFUL AND IN
TRANSFORMATIVE PROGRAMS DO NOT
CEASE TO EXIST SUCH A VERY
CRITICAL TIME IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF THE ZERO EMISSION MARKETS. I
WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO'S
HAD AGAIN THEIR HAND IN THIS THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AS WELL AS
SENATORS. SKINNER WHO I KNOW WHO
IS A HUGE CHAMPION, BUT WE'LL
CONTINUE THE FIGHT FOR CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION WITH US. SO WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
I VOTE. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY
WITNESSES TODAY, BUT I'M SURE WE
HAVE FOLKS HERE FOR TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE IF NEEDED. YES GREAT.
APPRECIATE THAT. LET'S ESTABLISH
A QUORUM. GO AHEAD. YOU CAN
SENATORS SKINNER, I'M HERE TO
BECKER NÚMERO DOLLY, SO EGGMAN
GROVE, LAIRD MCGUIRE BAR MEN,
MEN, NEWMAN BUG. PADILLA ROTH
TOÀN SMALLWOOD QUIVERS TWINS.
GREAT. WE'VE ESTABLISHED A
QUORUM NOW, AND THOSE MEMBERS
WHO WANT TO COMMENT OR
QUESTIONS, I'LL START A LIST.
I'VE GOT SENATOR BECKER ON THE
LIST. SENATOR NEWMAN, UH ANYWAY
, ANYBODY ELSE WILL ADD. ALL
RIGHT, SO I WANT TO BEGIN. UM
THIS WAS A LONG TIME COMING, BUT
I'M VERY GLAD IT'S HERE BEFORE
SESSIONS OVER. THIS IS A VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT OR RATHER, THESE
ARE VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAMS FOR
US TO CONTINUE. AS MUCH AS WE
ARE VERY LEGITIMATELY FOCUSED ON
THE CLIMATE CRISIS. WHICH IS
MORE AND MORE SERIOUS.
CALIFORNIA STILL HAS. BAD AIR
QUALITY HEALTH, DAMAGING AIR
QUALITY. AND IT IS TAKING YEARS
OFF. OUR RESIDENTS LIVES AND IT
IS AFFECTING OUR CHILDREN, AND
IT IS INCREASING ASTHMA RATES
AND WHEN THIS PROGRAM WAS FIRST,
THESE PROGRAMS WERE FIRST
DEVELOPED. THEY WERE FOCUSED ON
THAT AND SOLELY ON THAT, AND
THAT NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO BE A
FOCUS. AND WE KNOW THAT THE ARE
MOST DAMAGING AIR POLLUTION
STILL COMES FROM STATIONARY, NOT
STATIONERY. APOLOGIES. MOBILE
SOURCES FROM TRANSPORTATION. YES
THERE'S OTHER FORMS OF
CONTRIBUTORS EMISSIONS
CONTRIBUTING TO AIR POLLUTION,
BUT IT IS VERY SERIOUSLY FROM
OUR VEHICLES AND A GREAT DEAL OF
THOSE VEHICLES ARE OR A LARGE
AMOUNT OF THAT MOST HEALTH
DAMAGING POLLUTION IS FROM OUR
HEAVY DUTY SECTOR FROM USE OF
DIESEL. SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
THAT THESE PROGRAMS CONTINUE AND
CONTINUE TO ALLOW US TO MAKE
THAT TRANSITION. AND SUPPORT THE
THOSE VEHICLES IN THAT
TRANSMISSION TRANSITION AS WELL
AS A VARIETY OF OTHER UM I WON'T
SAY INDUSTRIES BUT EQUIPMENT AND
USES WHETHER IT'S AT OUR PORTS
OR DIFFERENT PLACES TO REALLY
HELP US ACHIEVE THE AIR QUALITY
GOALS, WHICH WE CANNOT LESSON.
OUR OUR DEDICATION TO EVEN AS WE
FIGHT THE CLIMATE CRISIS. UM NOW
ON THE A LOT OF TALK AND FOCUS
OF THE NEGOTIATIONS RECENTLY HAS
BEEN ON HYDROGEN, WHICH WAS VERY
IMPORTANT AND I THINK CAME TO A
GOOD RESULT. NO HYDROGEN IS
REALLY A SMALL PORTION OF THIS
BILL, BUT IT DID TAKE UP A LOT
OF OUR TIME RECENTLY. UM, BUT
THE BENEFIT OF HITTING THAT
SWEET SPOT IN THIS BILL IS THAT
IT ENABLES US AS TO SEND THE
RIGHT MARKET SIGNAL BECAUSE
THERE IS A ROLE FOR HYDROGEN.
NON FOSSIL FUEL PRODUCED
HYDROGEN. FOR HELPING US ACHIEVE
BOTH OUR AIR QUALITY AND CLIMATE
CRISIS GOALS AND THE BENEFIT OF
HYDROGEN IS IT REALLY IS VERY
USEFUL IN HELPING US DE
CARBONIZED VERY DIFFICULT TO DE
CARBONIZED SECTORS. AND I
USUALLY I DON'T USE THOSE KIND
OF TERMS. I SELL IT IN THE KIND
OF VERNACULAR THAT EVERYBODY
UNDERSTANDS. BASICALLY. THOSE
THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS EASY TO
ELECTRIFY RIGHT NOW. OR THAT
WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO CONTINUE
TO DEPEND ON A CERTAIN KIND OF
FUEL. HYDROGEN HAS A LOT OF
ADVANTAGES, SO I'M VERY GLAD
THAT WE GOT THAT SWEET SPOT AND
I'M GLAD THAT IT ALLOWS FOR ALL
THE DIFFERENT CLASS OF VEHICLES
, BUT I'M ALSO VERY HAPPY THAT
IT DID NOT SOLELY SINGLE OUT
ONLY THE LOW LIGHT DUTY VEHICLES
BECAUSE IF WE HAD DONE THAT,
WHILE THERE CERTAINLY A ROLE FOR
THE LIGHT DUTY VEHICLES IF WE
HAD DONE THAT TO THE EXCLUSION
OF THE HEAVY DUTY, THAT WOULD
HAVE BEEN A MISTAKE, GIVEN THE
AIR QUALITY ISSUES OF DIESEL, SO
I APPRECIATE THE INVOLVEMENT OF
EVERYONE THE PATIENCE OF
EVERYONE. MAYBE I WON'T. MAYBE
PATIENTS IS I'LL JUST CALL IT
PATIENTS. I RESPECT THAT. AND
THE WORK THAT WAS PUT IN TO COME
TO THIS BILL. THAT IS BEFORE US
IN THE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE,
AND I WANT TO THANK THEM.
SENATOR GONZALEZ
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S DÍAS. SENATOR
NEWMAN AND THE OTHERS INVOLVED,
AS THE AUTHORS HAVE DONE. SO. SO
WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO CALL ON
SENATOR BECKER AND THEN SENATOR
NEWMAN AND THEN REALLY NHÀ. UM
THEY DO NOT HAVE, UH, THEY
PROVIDED THEIR TESTIMONY. THEY
DID NOT HAVE EXPLICIT WITNESSES
AND SUPPORT. WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC
COMMENT AFTER PEOPLE. AFTER OUR
MEMBERS ASKED THEIR QUESTIONS.
SO YOU HAD THE COMMENTS. OKAY
LET ME JUST BEFORE. APOLOGIES
SENATOR BECKER. LET ME JUST LET
PEOPLE KNOW WHO'S ON THE LIST
AND I CAN ADD MORE. IT'S BECKER,
NEWMAN DURAZO NILO. I MISS
SOMEONE. NO. OKAY, GO AHEAD.
SURE FIRST. I WANT TO KNOW WE
HAVE A LOT OF TIME HERE TODAY
TRYING TO ADD MY THANKS TO THE
PRO TEMP STAFF AND COLLEAGUES,
ASSEMBLYWOMAN BRACE AND
PARTICULARLY OUR TRANSPORTATION
CHAIR CENTER. GONZALES FOR MANY
, MANY HARD HOURS OF WORK ON
THIS. THIS BILL IS GONNA PROTECT
THIS CRITICAL POOL OF FUNDING
AND MAINTAIN RELIABLE FREQUENT
CHARGING STATIONS, PARTICULARLY
FOR THE UPCOMING ADVANCE. CLEAN
FEET. CLEAN FLEET COMPLIANCE
CHARGING NEEDS DEFINITELY
SUPPORTING THE BILL. TODAY I
JUST WANTED TO QUICK NOTE FOR
THE RECORD THAT I DO RECOGNIZE
THE NEED FOR SOME POTENTIAL
FUTURE CLEANUP LANGUAGE TO MAKE
SURE THAT CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF
THIS LEGISLATION ONLY APPLY TO
PUBLIC CHARGERS. TO AVOID
PRIVACY CONCERNS AND MAKE SURE
THE IMPLEMENTATION GOES SMOOTHLY
. I LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE AUTHOR ON
THAT CLEAN UP, BUT I'M VERY MUCH
IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL TODAY. I
THINK YOU BOTH FOR ALL YOUR
INCREDIBLY HARD WORK. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MADAM. SHARE SOBRINO
. GLAD TO SUPPORT THE BILL. I
WANT TO THANK BOTH OF MY
COLLEAGUES. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
RAISE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ALLYSON
AND THE CHAIR FOR PATIENTS THAT
PATIENTS HAD TO DO WITH PUTTING
UP WITH ME, AND THAT'S I GUESS
FINE BY ME AT THE END, SO I, UM
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT YOU KNOW, I AND OTHERS
FOUGHT VERY HARD. FOR THE
INCLUSION OF FUNDS TO AS WE
EXTEND THE CDP TO INCLUDE
FUNDING FOR HYDROGEN, AND I
THINK YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOK AT
THE DATA, ESPECIALLY THE CARD
REPORTS. IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT IF
WE'RE GOING TO MEET THE STATE'S
AMBITIOUS GOALS FOR
DECARBONIZATION, BOTH AROUND TO
PASSENGER CARS AND FLEETS AND
HEAVY DUTY, HOW SHE'S GOING TO
PLAY A MEETING MEANINGFUL ROLE
FOR THAT, THE EXTENSION THE
INCLUSION OF HYDROGEN IN THE
STATION CTP VERY IMPORTANT AND
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP WITH
ME. THREE MEN. AS WITH ANY
COMPROMISE. CLEARLY THE TERMS
WEREN'T PERFECT, AND I HAVE
APOLOGIZED FOR ANY FRESH BECAUSE
DURING THIS CONVERSATION, BUT I
DO WANT TO THANK THAT SHARE THE
PROTESTS STAFF, MY COLLEAGUES,
EVERYBODY ELSE WHO PARTICIPATED
, AND ESPECIALLY THOSE MEMBERS
OF BOTH THE B E V AND
COMMUNITIES FOR THEIR
PARTICIPATION IN THIS WAS AN
EXHAUSTIVE AND I GUESS, FRANKLY
, EXHAUSTING THREE WAY
NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENT
STAFF ASSEMBLY AS BUT IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT. YOU KNOW,
WE'RE NOT ONLY EXTENDING THE
PROGRAM THIS WE'RE EXTENDING A
TAX AND IT IS IMPORTANT. I
ACTUALLY DO HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE
WITH TRANSPORTATION TAXES. UM,
THEY GAVE ME A TWO YEAR
SABBATICAL, WHICH I ENJOYED
THOROUGHLY. AND AS WE CONSIDER
THE EXTENSION OF THIS TAX, IT'S
IT IS ULTIMATELY VERY IMPORTANT
THAT THE PUBLIC IS PROBABLY
CONSULTED AND THAT THAT WE CAN
CONVEY TO OUR CONSTITUENTS NOT
ONLY WHAT WE'RE DOING, BUT WHY
WE'RE DOING IT AND PROVIDING THE
ASSURANCE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE
FULLY TRANSPARENT ACCOUNTABLE IN
DOING THAT SO HAPPY TO SUPPORT
THE BILL, AND AGAIN. THANK YOU
TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR YOUR WORK
ON THIS. SENATOR DURAZO. YES
OKAY. AH WELL, I AM REALLY
THRILLED TO SEE MY TWO
COLLEAGUES HERE. SENATOR
GONZALEZ AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER
RACE BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT YOU ALL
FIGHT FOR EVERY DAY IN TERMS OF
EQUITY, GOOD JOBS. ESPECIALLY IN
OUR COMMUNITIES, POOR
COMMUNITIES THAT WORKING CLASS
COMMUNITIES ALL THE ALL THE
PROTECTIONS THAT OTHER
COMMUNITIES HAVE. I JUST WANT TO
POINT OUT AND EITHER ASK OR
POINT OUT FOR THE FOR THE MAYBE
TO CLEAN UP LANGUAGE IS
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS RELATED
TO JOB QUALITY CENTER. GONZALEZ
AND I HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS A
LOT, BUT I THINK WE NEED TO DO
MORE ALONG THOSE LINES IS JOB
QUALITY, ESPECIALLY HAVING TO DO
WITH NON CONSTRUCTION JOBS. WE
HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE ON
CONSTRUCTION JOBS WITH BARELY
WAGES, AND MAYBE WE COULD DO
ALSO BETTER REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS, EVEN FOR THOSE
CONSTRUCTION JOBS, UM AND YOU
KNOW, HOW DOES THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY COMMISSION ASSESS THE
LEVEL OF JOB QUALITY? THAT'S NOT
PARTICULARLY CLEAR AND AGAIN.
HOW DOES IT UM PERTAIN NOT ONLY
TO CONSTRUCTION JOBS BUT NON
CONSTRUCTION SECTORS. THOSE ARE
AREAS OF JOBS THAT ARE WE NEED
TO LOOK TO THE FUTURE AND WE
NEED TO ADD THEM AS FAR AS
REPORTING AND REQUIREMENTS. AS
MUCH AS WE DO CONSTRUCTION AND
ALSO TOGETHER WITH EQUITY AND
HAVE DONE A REALLY EXTRAORDINARY
JOB OF LIFTING EQUITY IN THIS IN
THIS BILL, SO I'M VERY PROUD AND
OF THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE THAT
WE NEED TO STRENGTHEN THE OTHER
PIECE OF THE QUALITY JOBS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, SENATOR ROSCOE
SENATOR NILO, FOLLOWED BY
SENATOR ROTH. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR. UM I GUESS I MISSED THE
PARTY. I DON'T QUITE SHARE THE
ENTHUSIASM THAT'S BEEN EXPRESSED
. UM FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS AN 11
PLUS YEAR EXTENSION OF ATTACKS.
I KNOW REPUBLICAN ANTI TAX BUT I
THINK MOST PEOPLE KNOW HERE I AM
NOT CATEGORICALLY NOR NEED JERK
OPPOSED TO TAXES, BUT THE
PROBLEM HERE IS THIS TAX IS
IMPOSED UPON DRIVERS WHO WILL
NOT DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM THE
PROGRAMS THAT THE TAX PAYS FOR.
IN FACT, SOME LOWER INCOME
DRIVERS ARE ARE SUBSIDIZING
HIGHER INCOME PEOPLE THAT CAN
AFFORD ELECTRIC VEHICLES AT THIS
POINT AND I APPRECIATE SENATOR
NEWMAN'S COMMENT ABOUT THE
INCLUSION OF HYDROGEN. UM I
SHARE HIS AH, FAVORITE TOWARD
HYDROGEN HYDROGEN AS A MIX IN
OUR DECARBONIZATION EFFORTS,
WHICH, OF COURSE, ARE VERY
IMPORTANT, BUT THIS BILL
ACTUALLY REDUCES IT. THERE IS AN
INCLUSION OF HYDROGEN BUT
EXISTING LAW. PROVIDES FOR MORE
HYDROGEN, AND IT'S MOVING TOWARD
THE LEGISLATURE PICKING WINNERS
AND LOSERS. WE SEEM TO HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT STRUGGLE GETTING
BROAD BUY IN AND THE LEGISLATURE
TOWARD HYDROGEN AS PART OF THE
MIX, AND I FIND THAT I FIND THAT
VERY CONCERNING, SO I'M I CAN'T
SUPPORT THIS BILL THIS MORNING,
AND I HOPE TO SHARE ENTHUSIASM
WITH OTHER THINGS AS WELL. WE
CLOSE OUT THE WEEK. THANK YOU.
VICE CHAIR. NEIL. OH, SENATOR
ROTH. THANK YOU. MADAM CHAIR,

EARLIER DISCUSSION. I APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR'S WORK ON THIS. VERY
COMPLEX ISSUE, AND I KNOW IT'S A
WORK IN PROGRESS, AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR DEDICATION TO
CONTINUING THAT WORK. I WANT TO
ALIGN MY COMMENTS WITH MY
COLLEAGUE, SENATOR BECKER WITH
REGARD TO CLARIFICATION. AND
HOPEFULLY SOME CLEANUP AND THE
COMMENTS OF MY COLLEAGUES,
SENATOR NEWMAN WITH RESPECT TO
TRYING TO TAKE A SLIGHTLY
BROADER VIEW OF OUR APPROACH
TOWARDS HYDROGEN, AT LEAST AT
THIS POINT IN IN TIME, BUT I
APPRECIATE YOUR WORK. LOOK
FORWARD TO SUPPORTING THIS ONE.
AND THE ONE IN THE FUTURE. THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR. ALRIGHT WITH
OUT SEEING ANY OTHER HANDS UP.
WE WILL NOW TAKE PUBLIC COMMENT.

FOUND THAT MORE THAN 90% OF
CALIFORNIANS LIVE TODAY IN
PLACES WHERE THE AIR IS UNSAFE
TO BREATHE. SOME OF THE YEAR AND
THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF THAT
POLLUTION IS STILL FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND THE
FASTEST WAY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF
THAT MESS OF THIS UNSAFE AIR IS
TO BUILD THE CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM SO THAT WE
CAN SOLVE THAT PROBLEM. AND THIS
BILL DOES THAT ESPECIALLY
PRIORITIZING THOSE INVESTMENTS

THEY WISH TO SPEAK. THANK YOU.
SO MEMBERS WERE BACK TO, UH UH,
OURSELVES, AND NO MORE PUBLIC
COMMENTS. SO UM, DO WE HAVE A
MOTION BELT? ALRIGHT. THE BILL
IS MOVED BY SENATOR MEN. AND MY
FINAL COMMENT ON IT BEFORE WE
ALLOW YOU TO CLOSES. I THINK THE
OTHER REAL ADVANTAGE OF ARE
GETTING THIS DONE NOW, AND THE
PROVISION IN THE BILL IS THAT IT
PUTS CALIFORNIA IN A GOOD
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AS WE
COMPETE FOR FEDERAL FUNDS IN
THIS SPACE, OF WHICH THERE ARE
LOTS SO, UM, SENATOR GONZALEZ
AND ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RATES WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? YES MADAM
CHAIR. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE
APPRECIATE THE REALLY ROBUST
CONVERSATIONS ON THE LABOR FRONT
ON CLARIFICATION FOR NEXT YEAR
FOR HYDROGEN FOR ADDITIONAL
COMMENTS. I THINK THIS IS THE
BILL THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT ALL
OF OUR COMMUNITIES. BUT FOR ME
PERSONALLY, I'M A SENATOR THAT
REPRESENTS ONE OF THE LARGEST
PORTS AND NOT JUST THE
STATEMENT, THE COUNTRY AND THE
WORLD AND TO SEE SO MANY OF MY
RESIDENTS THAT DEAL WITH BAD AIR
QUALITY EVERY SINGLE DAY. THIS
IS A REALLY INCREDIBLE STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR THEM,
AND FOR SO MANY COMMUNITIES
ACROSS CALIFORNIA WHO FEEL THE
SAME WAY, REGARDLESS IF THEY
DRIVE AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE OR NOT
, UM, I ALSO PERSONALLY WANT TO
THANK MY STAFF WHO SPENT SO MUCH
TIME CYNTHIA ALVAREZ AND TREVOR
TAYLOR WHO ARE HIDING BEHIND
THIS PILLAR HERE WHO ARE REALLY
THE NUTS AND BOLTS BEHIND THIS
AS WELL. WE THANK AGAIN. SO MANY

WORDS HERE, BUT THIS IS GOING TO
BE A REALLY IMPRESSIVE BILL FOR
ALL OF US TO SHARE AND FOR ALL

ACCOMPLISHMENTS. REALLY SO WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASPIRIN. I
VOTE AND I WILL PASS IT ON TO MY

PROGRAM SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE

TO LIVE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE WE

IT'S IMPORTANT TO PUT THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MOST
DISADVANTAGED THAT LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE THAT ARE
RECEIVING MOST OF THE BAD AIR.
GIVE THEM THIS INFRASTRUCTURE. I
ALSO WANT TO THANK SOME OTHERS
