MADAM CHAIR AT THIS TIME, UM SB
3 TO 6. BY ITEM THREE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MEMBERS. AND AS YOU
RECALL, WE HAD A VERY LONG
INFORMATIONAL HEARING ON THIS
TOPIC EARLIER, AND I'M GLAD TO
SAY THIS BILL PASSED ASSEMBLY
YESTERDAY WITH STRONG BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT OVERWHELMINGLY, AND SO,
20 YEARS LATER, WE'RE BACK TO
REDO THE ESSAY. AND AS EVERYONE
KNOWS, IN 20 YEARS, A LOT OF
THINGS CHANGES. IN FACT, WE WENT
TO OVER. AH JUST OVER 20% ON
UNINSURED DOUBTED LESS THAN
EIGHT AND SO WITH THAT, AND THEN
THE SITUATION HAS HAS CAN ALSO
CONTINUE TO CHANGE ON OUR
STREETS. WE CONTINUE TO SEE
THOSE SUFFERING. AND SO AS WE
HAVE THIS FUND, WHICH ALSO HAS
GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY SINCE WE
BEGAN IT WHEN WE FIRST PAST THIS
BACK IN 20 YEARS AGO. IT WAS
PROBABLY JUST A FEW MILLION
EVERY YEAR. THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS HAS BEEN OVER 3 BILLION
EVERY SINGLE YEAR THAT GOES INTO
COUNTIES TO BE ABLE TO FUND THE
SERVICES. THIS IS A REDO,
REDOING THE POTS WANT TO BE ABLE
TO USE IT FOR HOUSING
INTERVENTIONS. WE KNOW THAT'S A
KEEP ONE OF THE KEY THINGS. UM
AND REALLY FOCUSING AND ALSO
INCLUDING SUBSIDIES, USES.
ANOTHER HUGE ISSUE. WE SEE. WE
KNOW INITIALLY WE WERE JUST
TALKING ABOUT ALCOHOLISM, AND
WE'VE SEEN THAT TRANSFORM TO BE
ABLE TO REALLY FOCUS ON THESE
THINGS, ALSO REALLY FOCUSING ON
OUTCOMES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES
NOT JUST HOW MUCH THE COUNTIES
HAVE SPENT, BUT ACTUALLY WHAT
THE OUTCOMES WHAT LEVELS OF
FUNDING THERE ARE SO A LOT OF
VERY EXCITING CHANGES. UM AND
YOU KNOW GREAT, HUGE HELP FROM,
UH, THE ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR
WORK AND THEIR VISION. UM AS
I'VE SAID, BEFORE, WE HAVE NEVER
HAD A GOVERNOR WHO WAS FOCUSED
SO MUCH ON MENTAL HEALTH. BUT AS
WE KNOW, WE'VE NEVER HAD THE
CRISIS THAT WE CONTINUE TO SEE
ON OUR STREETS AND IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. UM AND THEN THE
HEARTS AND MINDS OF OUR PUBLIC.
LOOK AROUND AND SAY SURELY WE
COULD SPEND OUR MONEY BETTER. SO
THIS IS A WAY TO BE ABLE TO
SPEND OUR MONEY BETTER AND
AGAIN. WE GO TO THE VOTERS TO
SEE IF THEY'RE GOING TO AGREE
WITH US. AND WITH THAT I WOULD
INVITE DIRECTOR BOSS UP. TO TALK
A LITTLE BIT MORE AND ANSWER ANY

TO THIS BILL BEFORE AND BEFORE
THIS COMMITTEE. I JUST WANTED TO
THANK THE GOVERNOR AND THE

PSYCHIATRIC ISSUE, AND IMPROVING
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND

AREAS. SO THANK YOU VERY, VERY

THE AUTHOR. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE
WORKED SO HARD ON, UH,
ESPECIALLY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
IN TRYING TO PROVIDE CARE FOR
THOSE OUT IN THE STREETS, SO I
REALLY DO WANT TO COMMEND THE
AUTHOR ON THIS. IT'S NOT JUST
THIS BILL AND WORKING WITH THE
GOVERNOR AND THANK YOU TO THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. BUT WERE YOU
SPECIFICALLY I KNOW YOU'VE
ACTUALLY TOURED ALSO CALIFORNIA
SO A LOT OF CREDIT IS DUE HERE.
AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
THAT. AND ONCE AGAIN THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
PLEASE I'M GOING TO ADD ON TO
THE KUDOS. THANK YOU AGAIN. I
KNOW. I KNOW WE CANNOT TOP YOU
IN TERMS OF THE WORK THAT YOU'VE
DONE IN MENTAL HEALTH, BUT I
KNOW SOME OF OUR LATINO
COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE HAD
ISSUES SPECIFIC WITH, YOU KNOW,
TALKING ABOUT HOW VAGUE THIS
MIGHT BE IN REALLY WANTING DEEP
. YOU KNOW, CONNECTIONS WITH
THIS WITH THIS BILL, IS IT AS IT
PERTAINS TO MENTAL HEALTH AND
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH. SO WHAT IS
YOUR RESPONSE? AND I KNOW YOU'LL
CONTINUE TO DO THAT. I KNOW YOU
WILL. BUT WOULDN'T WE CONTINUE
TO WORK ON IT? AND YOU KNOW A
LOT OF THE OUR COMMUNITIES WHO
SAY WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS MORE ON
BLACK AND BROWN? WELL, THOSE ARE
THE ONES WHO ARE SUFFERING THE
MOST RIGHT. SO THOSE ARE THE
ONES WHO NEED A LOT OF HELP. AND
I WILL SAY THAT WE DID A LOT OF,
UM, AMENDMENTS TO BE ABLE TO
TAKE SOME OF THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
AND AS WE TALKED BEFORE ABOUT
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED, THERE WAS
, UM ALMOST IT WAS OVER 20%
UNINSURED RATE THAT IS DOWN TO
LESS THAN SEVEN NOW, SO THERE IS
SO MUCH MORE THAT WE CAN BUILD
FOR NOW. THAT WASN'T POSSIBLE TO
BUILD FOR EARLIER AND SO WE'RE
GOING TO NOT MAYBE DO AS MUCH OF
THAT IN THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH
IS BECAUSE THOSE THINGS CAN
ALREADY BE BUILT FOR NOW AND BE
ABLE TO USE THE MENTAL HEALTH

MOST IN NEED. YEP AND I LOOK

ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE
OUR NEXT BILL UP. WE HAVE BEFORE
US. SB 6 35 BY SENATOR MENJIVAR
CONCERNING HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
OF HEARING AIDS. THANK YOU,
MADAM CHAIR. GOOD MORNING,
EVERYONE. I'M HERE TO PRESENT TO
USB 635, THE LEAD CALIFORNIA
KIDS HERE ACT. YOU'VE PROBABLY
SEEN LITTLE KIDS WITH THIS WHITE
SHIRT ON ON THEIR FRONT SEEN LET
LET THEM HERE. UM, THIS BULL HAS
ENJOYED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. UM
AND IT'S A BILL TO RECTIFY A
PROGRAM THAT HASN'T BEEN WORKING
FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
PREVIOUS ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WAS
LOOKING TO ENSURE THAT OUR KIDS
OUR YOUTH GOT COVERAGE FOR THEIR
HEARING AIDS BECAUSE THEY WERE
SCREENED BILL HAD BEEN PASSED
FOR KIDS TO BE SCREENED FOR, UM,
HEARING LOSS OR HARD OF HEARING,
BUT THAT'S AS FAR AS IT WENT. AS
A PARENT, A NEWBORN WITH A
NEWBORN. YOU'RE TOLD THAT YOUR
CHILD IS HARD OF HEARING OR
WON'T BE ABLE TO HEAR, BUT THEN
YOU'RE NOT OFFERED THE SUPPORT
TO PURCHASE THESE HEARING NIGHTS
CAN THAT CAN RANGE UP TO $3000.
THERE WAS A PREVIOUS BILL
ATTEMPTED ATTEMPTING TO RECTIFY
. HOWEVER WE REROUTED TO SEE IF
THE DEPARTMENT COULD ADDRESS
THIS ISSUE. THE DEPARTMENT HAVE
BEEN GETTING HAS GOTTEN SO MUCH
MONEY TO ADDRESSES AND YET HAS
ONLY BEEN ABLE TO SERVE IN THE
LOW HUNDREDS OUT OF THE TENS OF
THOUSANDS. CHILDREN AND YOUTH
WERE ELIGIBLE TO GET COVERAGE
FOR HEARING AIDS. ON TOP OF THAT
THERE ARE SO MINIMAL PROVIDERS
LITTLE PROVIDERS WHO PARTICIPATE
IN THIS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF
REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS SERVICE,
SO TO ENSURE THAT THE CHILDREN
YOU SEE TODAY GET THE COVERAGE.
TO GET HEARING AIDS TO BE ABLE
TO ADDRESS WHAT EXPERTS HAVE
CALLED DEVELOPMENTAL EMERGENCY.
WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE GET SB
635 PAST TWO THAT I WANT TO TURN
IT OVER TO MY WITNESS WHO CAN
SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE A MOM
WHO WHO STOPPED EVERYTHING TO
START A NONPROFIT TO DEDICATE
HER TIME. TO ENSURING THAT HER
CHILD AND THE REST OF THE
THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE ACCESS TO
CARRYING AID. SO MADAM CHAIR
WITH YOUR PERMISSION, I'D LIKE
TO INTRODUCE, UM MICHELLE, WHAT
IS MICHELLE? YOUR LAST NAME?
MORRISON NICK. WORSE THAN YOU,
NICK. REALLY BAD. I'M SO SORRY,
MICHELLE. WE'VE WORKED SO HARD
ON THIS A CODESHARE AND CO
FOUNDER OF LIKE CALIFORNIA KIDS
HERE IN CO SPONSOR OF SB 635.
GOOD MORNING, PLEASE GO AHEAD
MORNING. MY NAME IS MICHELLE OH,
FOUNDER OF LIKE CALIFORNIA KIDS
HERE IN A CO SPONSOR WITH
CHILDREN NOW, SP 635. I WANT TO
THANK THE 50 ORGANIZATIONS WHO
HAVE SIGNED ON THE PARENT
ADVOCATES HERE. UM AND ALL THE
LEGISLATURE WHO HAS ALWAYS STOOD
WITH OUR CHILDREN. MY HUSBAND
AND I FOUND OURSELVES IN A
SUPPORT GROUP IN ONE EVENING,
GRIEVING THAT OUR DAUGHTER
HADN'T HEARD. SAY I LOVE YOU IN
SIX MONTHS OR THE BEDTIME
STORIES WE READ AT NIGHT WE WERE
QUICKLY HUMBLED AS WE COULD
AFFORD HEARING AIDS. AND EVERY
MOM'S STORY THEREAFTER WAS ABOUT
DEVASTATING FINANCIAL DECISIONS
THAT THEY WERE MAKING. THE
FOURTH, MOM SAID. I HAVE FIVE
KIDS. OUR FAMILY IS NOT GOING
DOWN. HE'LL GO WITHOUT. I
STARTED INTERVIEWING MORE PEOPLE
AND WENT TO THE NO LIMITS FOR
DEAF CHILDREN, UM, CENTER, AND
THEY SAID CHILDREN WERE SHOWING
UP AT THE AGE OF FIVE RIGHT
BEFORE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO GO
TO KINDERGARTEN, UNABLE TO SAY
THEIR NAME BECAUSE THEY HAD
NEVER HEARD IT. I WAS WORKING AT
CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL, LOS ANGELES
AT THE TIME WENT ON TO THE
CANCER UNIT AND THE DRUG THAT
SAVED A CHILD'S LIFE ALSO TOOK
THEIR HEARING. AND THEN, AS THEY
CALL THEIR HEALTH PLANS WERE
TOLD IT IS ELECTIVE FOR YOUR
CHILD TO HERE. HEARING AIDS COST
$6000. IT PUTS A TREMENDOUS
STRAIN ON SO MANY HARD WORKING
FAMILIES TO FIND THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS TO PAY FOR THE HEARING.
AIDS DELAY TIME SENSITIVE
TREATMENT OR FORGO THEM ALL
TOGETHER. WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR
RENEWED SUPPORT TO ADOPT THE
ORIGINAL SOLUTION, A PEDIATRIC
MANDATE TO ADDRESS A
DEVELOPMENTAL EMERGENCY THAT'S
BEEN UNFOLDING FOR 25 YEARS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THESE
COSTS ARE NOT ONLY DEVASTATING
THE CHILD IN THE FAMILY, BUT
THEY'RE COSTLY TO SOCIETY. IT
COSTS $1 MILLION FOR EVERY CHILD
THAT DOESN'T GET EARLY
INTERVENTION IN SPECIAL
EDUCATION OF THEIR MEDICAL
COMPLICATIONS AND OTHER COSTS.
THE STATE IS CURRENTLY SPENDING
400 MILLION A YEAR TO EDUCATE
DEATH AND HARD OF HEARING
CHILDREN. THE ABSENCE OF A
SOLUTION IS COSTING TAXPAYERS
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS BY FAILING
TO PROVIDE EARLY INTERVENTION IN
2019, THE LEGISLATURE PASSED LET
CALIFORNIA CARE HERE ACT BY
UNANIMOUS CONSENT. GOVERNOR
NEWSOM PULLED THE BILL BACK AND
OFFERED AN ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM.
IT I'M SO SORRY. WE NEED TO WRAP
UP, OKAY? 30 STATES COVER IT. WE
ARE TRAILING SOUTHERN STATES
NOW. SB 635 IS A RESPONSIBLE
DEPLOYMENT OF STATE RESOURCES.
THE POTENTIAL LITTLE $11 MILLION
COST WILL BE OFFSET BY THE 13.4
MILLION FOR THE CCP PROGRAM THAT
YOU GUYS ALLOCATED. IT IS A FIX
THAT WOULD ADDRESS THIS
DEVELOPMENTAL EMERGENCY C THAT'S
BEEN UNFOLDING FOR YEARS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA, IT WOULD
HELP TO 20,000 CHILDREN.
CALIFORNIA'S CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING, AND
THEY CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER. I
WANT TO THANK MY DAUGHTER WHO
TOLD ME THIS MORNING. THIS ISN'T
DONE UNTIL EVERY CHILD IS
COVERED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
ADVOCACY AND PASSION. ANYBODY
ELSE SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME JUST
TO COME FORWARD. NEW ORLEANS
WITH CHILDREN NOW PROUD CO
SPONSOR AND SUPPORT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM THAT
WOULD BE THE TIME TO BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. I SAW
SENATOR RUBIO AND SENATOR GROVE
WANT TO SPEAK, SENATOR RUBIO.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YES I'M
VERY PROUD TO BE A CO AUTHOR OF
THIS MEASURE. I KNOW WE'VE TRIED
IT IN THE PAST, AND I WANT TO
JUST COMMAND ALL THE YOUNG
LITTLE ONES WHO CAME TO SPEAK
HERE. THAT'S AH, YOU HAVE A VERY
PROUD OF YOU FOR BEING ABLE TO
COME UP AND SPEAK TO THE ADULTS
HERE, BUT I WANTED TO ADD MY
VOICE TO A LOT OF THE COMMENTS
THAT THE AUTHOR MADE, UM AND
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
NOT SEE THIS JUST AS A FINANCIAL
ISSUE AND I KNOW IT WAS STATED
THAT THE COST IS 1 MILLION EARLY
INTERVENTION, BUT I WANT TO
SHARE THAT. YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS
A TEACHER, I HAD 1/4 GRADE
STUDENT WHO HAD A RECORD. I WAS
VERY LONG OF INCIDENTS WITH THE
PRINCIPAL IN THE YARD. I MEAN,
IT WENT ON AND ON AND ON. IT
WASN'T UNTIL WE FIGURED OUT THAT
THE LITTLE BOY COULD NOT HERE.
UM AND HE ALSO HAD YOU KNOW HE
NEEDED GLASSES, AND THE SYSTEM
DID NOT CATCH IT EARLY ENOUGH,
SO HE'S BEEN A LOT OF TIME IN
THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE AND
ALWAYS MISUNDERSTOOD AT YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING THAT HE DID WAS, YOU
KNOW, AGAIN MISUNDERSTOOD AS
BEHAVIOR ISSUES, BUT THE REALITY
IS THE LITTLE BOY COULD NOT HERE
AND HE CANNOT SEE AND SO YOU
KNOW, WITHOUT THAT KIND OF
EDUCATION EARLY ON, AND KINDER,
1ST, 2ND AND 3RD BY THE TIME HE
GOT TO FOURTH GRADE, YOU KNOW,
HE REALLY DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE.
SO WE WERE SO FORTUNATE TO BE
ABLE TO CATCH THAT EARLIER. NOT
ON WHEN WE GOT HAVING GLASSES.
WE'VE GOT HIM THE HEARING AIDS.
HE WAS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
CHILD. BY THE TIME HE LEFT MY
CLASSROOM, UM HE WAS REALLY
PERFORMING. YOU KNOW WHERE HE
NEEDED TO BE. AND I'M JUST SORRY
WE DIDN'T CATCH THAT SOON
ENOUGH, AND STILL TWO OTHER
CHILDREN OUT THERE STRUGGLING.
THIS IS GOING TO BE A LIFE
CHANGING MOMENT. AND I ALSO
THINK FOR PARENTS, IT'S AGAIN
NOT JUST FINANCIAL, THE STRESS
THAT PARENTS HAVE TO DEAL WITH.
I ONLY IMAGINE THAT PARENT EVERY
TIME THE PRINCIPAL CALLED TO
COME IN BECAUSE THE CHILD WAS IN
TROUBLE AGAIN. AND SO WITH THAT
YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON THE
PEACE OF MIND. OTHER PARENTS
MAKING SURE THAT THE CHILD HAS
THE EDUCATION THAT NEEDS EARLY
ON. I MEAN THE BENEFITS GO ON
AND ON AND ON. SO I JUST WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR AND EVERYONE
HERE FOR ADVOCATING ON BEHALF OF
OUR KIDS OR STUDENTS. AND WITH
THAT I WILL MOVE THEM. BILL WHEN
IT'S APPROPRIATE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SENATOR GROVE. THANK
YOU, MADAM CHAIR LIKE TO THANK
MICHELLE FOR ADVOCACY. UM YOU
KNOW, STANDING UP FOR PARENTS
LIKE I THINK THE AUTHOR OF
BRINGING IT FORWARD. I DO HAVE
QUESTIONS, THOUGH, BECAUSE I'M
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
ANALYSIS AND WHAT IT SAYS. UM
OBVIOUSLY, WE PASSED 85 98,
WHICH REQUIRED HEALTH PLANS TO
COVER HEARING AIDS FOR CHILDREN
. IT DIED AND THEN THE GOVERNOR
INSTITUTE. ANOTHER PROGRAM, UH,
HEARING AID COVERAGE FOR
CHILDREN PROGRAM, THE CCP
PROGRAM. UH, TODAY TRAIT.
THEY'VE GOTTEN $16 MILLION HAS
BEEN ALLOCATED AND THEY'VE ONLY
ISSUED HEARING AIDS TO 225
CHILDREN. THAT'S A PROBLEM AND
IT'S NOT A GOOD USE OF MONEY.
WHO IS GOING TO ADMINISTER THIS
PROGRAM. PLEASE DON'T SAY THE
SAME. NO, IT WOULDN'T. THAT'S
WHY WE WOULD WE WOULD RETRIEVE
FROM THAT PROGRAM, OKAY, AND IT
WOULD BE JUST A MANDATE ON
HEALTH PLANS BECAUSE WE'VE PUT
SO MUCH MONEY YOU SAW HOW MUCH
MONEY WE GET OUR BANG FOR BUCK,
BASICALLY, IF YOU WILL, SO IT
ISN'T WORKING UNDER THE
ADMINISTRATION, THE DEPARTMENTS
ARE WE GOING TO REROUTE THAT TO
BE A COVERAGE UNDER A HEALTH
PLAN? OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. NO OTHER MEMBERS
WISHING TO SPEAK. BRING IT BACK
TO THE AUTHOR. THANK YOU. SO YOU
HAVE A MOTION. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY
SENATOR RUBIO. THE SUPERB
ANALYSIS ALSO INCLUDED COVERAGE
FOR MEDICAL, UM BENEFICIARIES,
HOWEVER, IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL COVERS I'M
HEARING AIDS, SO THAT NUMBER IS
SKEWED A LITTLE BIT, AND I'M
VERY THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT
THAT I RECEIVED SO FAR, UM,
GETTING RESPECT. LAST YEAR I
VOTE SO THAT CALIFORNIA KIDS CAN
HEAR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND
THANK YOU TO ALL THE ADVOCATES
AND THE PARENTS AND EVERYBODY
WHO CAME OUT TODAY TO MAKE A
COMPELLING CASE. AND SO WITH
