FLOOR. FIRST RECOGNIZED PRO TIM
ATKINS. MEMBERS. HOW ARE YOU
DOING?
TALKING TO ME. YOU ARE PRO TEM
ATKINS. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
COLLEAGUES. GOOD MORNING. I WANT
TO TAKE A MOMENT TODAY TO
RECOGNIZE SOMEONE WHO IS VERY
FAMILIAR TO MOST OF US WHO HAVE
BEEN IN THIS BUILDING FOR SOME
TIME NOW, AND THAT IS MR JAMIE
TAYLOR, AND I'LL DO SOMETHING A
LITTLE DIFFERENT. INTRODUCE HIS
GUEST RIGHT RIGHT NOW AND THEN
I'LL GO INTO SOME COMMENTS. WE
HAVE HIS WONDERFUL WIFE, SPOUSE.
CARMEN TAYLOR IS HERE. TWO
DAUGHTERS, CATALINA TAYLOR AND
CAMILLA TAYLOR. WE HAVE HIS
SISTER, LAUREN ROW AND BROTHER
IN LAW, TYRONE ROW AND OF COURSE
, NICE. TINSLEY ROBE RIGHT HERE,
AND I ALSO KNOW SOMEWHERE BACK
HERE OR THERE SHOULD COME UP IS,
UM, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
THE CENTER FOR CALIFORNIA
STUDIES. THIS WOULD BE LEONORE
ELLING, AND SHE IS HIS FORMER
BOSS. UM AND THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE CAPITAL CAPITAL
FELLOWS PROGRAM. SO AS I SAID
JAMIE TAYLOR IS KNOWN TO MANY AS
THE DIRECTOR OF THE SENATE
FELLOWS PROGRAM. HE'S HELD THAT
TITLE SINCE 2018 AND RECENTLY
STEPPED DOWN TO ACCEPT A NEW
ROLE AS THE SENATE'S FIRST
DIRECTOR OF DIVERSITY, EQUITY
AND INCLUSION. CONGRATULATIONS
JAMIE. JAMIE IS UNIQUELY
QUALIFIED FOR THIS ROLE, THIS
NEW ROLE THAT WE HAVE BECAUSE OF
HIS EXPERIENCE AS THE FELLOWS
DIRECTOR AND HIS PREVIOUS
SERVICE TO THE SENATE IN THE
SECRETARY OF THE SENATE'S OFFICE
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW HIM,
LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT JAMIE. HE WAS RAISED IN
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA AND IS PROUD
OF HIS ROOTS THERE. HE'S A
GRADUATE OF SAN DIEGO STATE
UNIVERSITY, WHERE HE MAJORED IN
AFRICANA STUDIES. HE ALSO HAS A
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN LAW AND A
CERTIFICATE IN MEDIATION FROM
MCGEORGE SCHOOL OF LAW AFTER
GRADUATING FROM SAN DIEGO STATE,
HE WORKED FOR ONE OF OUR FORMER
COLLEAGUES, SENATOR AT BUT AT
THAT TIME CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
JUAN VARGAS ON THE SAN DIEGO
CITY COUNCIL, AND THAT'S WHERE I
HAD THE HONOR TO MEET JAMIE. WE
WERE STAFFERS TOGETHER ON THE
10TH FLOOR. OF CITY HALL. IN
SOME REALLY GOOD DAYS. I WORKED
FOR CHRISTINE KEHOE. HE WORKED
FOR JUAN AND WE ENJOYED THAT
TIME. I THINK QUITE A LOT. HE
BEGAN HIS SERVICE TO THE SENATE
IN 2001 IN HIS PREVIOUSLY STATED
HE WORKED FOR THE SECRETARY OF
THE SENATE OFFICE FROM 2004 TO
2018. AS THE PRINCIPAL FILE
CLERK. HE BECAME WELL KNOWN FOR
HIS COMMITMENT TO THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND
PROCEDURES OF THE SENATE. AND
HIS ABILITY TO WORK WITH BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE. JAMIE HAS
UNMATCHED INSTITUTIONAL
KNOWLEDGE AND WAS ALREADY DEEPLY
FAMILIAR WITH THE SENATE'S INNER
WORKINGS WHEN HE TOOK ON THE
ROLE OF THE SENATE FELLOWS
PROGRAM DIRECTOR IN 2018. BY
THEN, HE ALREADY KNEW, WELL, THE
POLITICS AND THE PROCESS OF
GETTING EFFECTIVE LEGISLATION
PASSED. HE SUPPORTED THE SENATE
FELLOWS AS THEY WERE TASKED WITH
ADVANCING IMPORTANT POLICIES.
THAT AFFECT REAL CALIFORNIANS.
HE IMPARTED IN THEM THE SAME
VALUES HE LEARNED, MAINTAINING
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS BEING
HONEST AND TRANSPARENT AND
STAYING TRUE TO ETHICAL
STANDARDS. THIS IS IMPORTANT
GUIDANCE FOR SENATE FELLOWS, AND
I THINK ALL OF YOU HAVE HAD THE
EXPERIENCE OF THE MENTORSHIP
THAT JAMIE HAS GIVEN TO EACH OF
THEM OVER THE YEARS. IN THEIR 11
MONTHS HERE, AND THEY BECAME
ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS. HE ALSO
MADE SURE THE FELLOWS PROGRAM
ADDRESSES THE PARTICIPANTS.
MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH WAS REALLY
CRITICAL, ESPECIALLY DURING
COVID. HE OFTEN GOES ON TO
MAINTAIN THAT MENTORSHIP
RELATIONSHIP WITH MANY OF THE
FELLOWS BEYOND THE PROGRAM AND
REMAINS A TRUSTED ADVISOR TO
THEM. MANY FELLOWS GO ON TO
SERVE AN IMPORTANT ROLES IN THE
LEGISLATURE, SUCH AS LEDGE
DIRECTORS, CHIEFS OF STAFF, MANY
GO ON TO BECOME ELECTED
OFFICIALS THEMSELVES. ALL THIS
TO SAY THAT JAMIE'S MENTORSHIP
CONTINUES TO HAVE LASTING VALUE
TO OUR INSTITUTION LONG BEYOND
THE PROGRAM'S COMPLETION. DURING
HIS TIME AS DIRECTOR, HE WAS
PASSIONATE ABOUT ENSURING THAT
THE FELLOWS PROGRAM WAS
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DIVERSE
COMMUNITIES AND INDUSTRIES THAT
SHAPE CALIFORNIA. THIS AND HIS
DEDICATED LONG TERM SERVICE TO
THE SENATE MAKES HIM UNIQUELY
QUALIFIED FOR THIS NEW ROLE AS
SENATE DIRECTOR OF DIVERSITY,
EQUITY AND INCLUSION. I'M
THRILLED TO SEE HIM TAKE THE
LEAD ON FURTHERING CULTURE OF
DIVERSITY, INCLUSIVITY AND
EQUITY HERE IN OUR SENATE. I
HAVE NO DOUBT ABSOLUTELY NO
DOUBT HE WILL EXCEL IN THIS NEW
POSITION. LET'S WISH HIM WELL
TODAY. THANK HIM FOR HIS MANY
YEARS OF SERVICE AND LEADERSHIP
AND LOOK FORWARD TO HIS
CONTINUED SERVICE IN THE SENATE,
AND I HAVE A RESOLUTION TO
PRESENT TO HIM TODAY.

SENATE BILL 1973 1974 9 75 9 76

THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE
NEXT TO CONSIDERATION OF THE
DAILY FILE. FIRST ITEM UP IS
ITEM NUMBER ONE GOVERNOR'S
APPOINTMENT AND WITH THAT WILL
RECOGNIZE SENATOR GROVE. THANK
YOU, MR PRESIDENT, COLLEAGUES,
SKYLIGHT, AND ONE IS THE
CONFIRMATION OF NAOMI GALLARDO
FOR THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION.
SHE SERVES AS CEO SLOT FOR
ATTORNEY WITH ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
EXPERIENCE SINCE 2019. SHE
WORKED AT THE C E C AS A PUBLIC
ADVISOR AND ALSO CHIEF OF STAFF
TO THE COMMISSION'S CHAIR. WHEN
I MET WITH COMMISSIONER
GALLARDO, WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT
THE ROLE OF THE COMMISSION PLACE
AND PRICE. THE PRICE OF THE
ENERGY, INCLUDING THE DIVISION
OF THE PETROLEUM OVERSIGHT
MARKET. CALIFORNIA'S GASOLINE
PRICES ARE THE SECOND HIGHEST IN
THE COUNTRY, AND WE DISCUSSED
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE COMMISSION
, NOT PREJUDGING THE DIVISION'S
ASSESSMENT IN THE MARKET WITHOUT
PROOF, OR DATA OR ENERGY IS
EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THE POLICY
CHOICES THAT HAVE MADE BY THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THE ENERGY
COMMISSION WILL FOCUS ON THE
HARM THESE POLICIES ARE CAUSING
CALIFORNIA FAMILIES. CONTINUING
DOWN A PATH OF TARGETING A
SPECIFIC INDUSTRY WITHOUT DATA,
OR PROOF IS THE RESULT OF ENERGY
POVERTY IN OUR STATE COLLEAGUES
OF NEIGHBORING STATES CAN OFFER
ENERGY FOR HALF THE PRICE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT WE NEED TO FIND
OUT WHAT IT IS AND NOT PREJUDGE
THE INDUSTRY THEMSELVES. I WANT
TO THANK UM UH COMMISSIONER
GALLARDO FOR LISTENING TO THAT
AND ALSO LISTENING TO THE FACT
THAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT MY
PRODUCERS IN KERN COUNTY, THEIR
POLICY THERE ARE PRICE TAKERS,
NOT PRICE SETTERS. THAT MEANS
THE GLOBAL MARKET SETS THE PRICE
AND THEN THEY DON'T HAVE CONTROL
OVER WHAT PRICE IT IS. THEY JUST
SELL THE PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE
THAT SET ON THE GLOBAL MARKET.
SO WE HAD A VERY THOUGHTFUL
CONVERSATION. AND I APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT SHE WAS WILLING TO
LISTEN TO WHAT UM, THE
CONVEYANCE OF MY CONCERNS THAT I
HAVE WITH CREATING ENERGY POLICY
OR ENERGY, POVERTY IN THIS STATE
, AND THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
WE DO EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE
THAT ENERGY IS AFFORDABLE FOR
THIS STATE, AND THEREFORE I
ASKED FOR AN I VOTE ON AN

SENATOR DOLLY SENATOR JOLLY THE
FLOOR IS YOURS. SECRETARY.
PLEASE READ. THE SENATE BILL 804
BY SENATOR DAILY AND RELATING TO
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, SENATOR
DOLLY THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
MEMBERS. UH, GOOD AFTERNOON. SB
804 IS A HEARSAY TESTIMONY AT
PRELIMINARY HEARINGS BILL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND THE LEGAL SYSTEM
MUST BE GIVEN THE TOOLS TO
PROPERLY SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES
ENFORCEMENT CIVILIANS ARE
BECOMING MORE FREQUENTLY USED
SOMETHING THE LEGISLATURE HAS
ENCOURAGED. CURRENTLY ONLY SWORN
OFFICERS CAN PERFORM. HEARSAY
TESTIMONY, MEANING IF A LAW
ENFORCEMENT CIVILIANS ARE CALLED
TO THE COURT SWORN OFFICERS MUST
REINTERVIEW OLD VICTIMS OR THOSE
VICTIMS MUST BE CALLED TO COURT
TO TESTIFY THEMSELVES. LET ME
TELL YOU WHAT THIS BILL ACTUALLY
DOES. THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW
AUTHORIZED LAW ENFORCEMENT
CIVILIANS WITH THE SAME EXACT
TRAINING AS A SWORN OFFICER IN
THAT TRAINING IS FIVE YEARS
EXPERIENCE OR HAVE UNDERGONE THE
POST TRAINING THE SAME AS SWORN,
UH, OFFICERS DUE TO PERFORM
HEARSAY TESTIMONY. THIS BILL IS
GOOD FOR VICTIMS BECAUSE IT
KEEPS THE VICTIM FROM HAVING TO
GO INTO COURT AND HAVE TO FACE
THEIR PERPETRATORS SOMETIME OR
RELIVE THE CRIME THAT THEY WERE
WITH THAT THAT THAT THEY WERE
HAD HAD GONE THROUGH. AH! THIS
IS THE RECENT AMENDMENTS I TOOK
AND PUBLIC SAFETY THAT'S ONE
OFFICERS AND NON SWORN OFFICER.
LAW ENFORCEMENT. CIVILIANS WHO
COMMIT PERJURY WILL BE ADDED TO
THE BRADY LIST AND THE TESTIMONY
GIVEN IS SUBJECT TO DISCLOSE THE
IMPEACHMENT EVIDENCE. THIS
CHANGE HELPS HOLD THE WITNESSES
ACCOUNTABLE AND ENSURES THAT
ONLY THE BEST AND MOST RELIABLE
TESTIMONY IS ADMISSIBLE IN
COURT. MEMBERS THIS IS A
BIPARTISAN APPROACH TO HAVING
VICTIMS ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO, UM,
HAVE THEIR TESTIMONY AND I WANT
TO REMIND YOU THE LAST THING
THAT THIS BILL AND CURRENT
STATUE TODAY. UM ONLY SWORN
OFFICERS CAN TAKE FROM THE
PERPETRATOR. THESE ARE ALL NON
SWORN OFFICERS WILL BE ABLE TO
TAKE IT ONLY FROM THE VICTIMS.
SO THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT POINT
. CURRENT LAW DOESN'T LOVE THAT.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE

TO 1. THE MEASURE PASSES GONNA
MOVE NEXT TO FILE ITEM 15 BY
SENATOR AMBER. HE'S PREPARED,
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ. SENATE
BILL 92 BY SENATOR AMBERG AND
EQUALLY INTO COURTS, SENATOR
AMBERG THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT
AND COLLEAGUES SP 90 TO EXTEND
THE SUNSET PROVISION FOR REMOTE
ACCESS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS.
MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THIS
VERSION OF THIS BILL BEFORE THIS
SIMPLY EXTENDS THE SUNSET TO
JANUARY. 2026 REMOTE ACCESS IS
ALLOWED PARTICULARLY INDIGENOUS
TO BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE
WITHOUT. FOR EXAMPLE, MISSING A
DAY OF WORK. I URGED I VOTE ANY
DISCUSSION ON THIS MEASURE. THIS
IS ELIGIBLE FOR UNANIMOUS ROLL
CALL. I SEE AN OBJECTION OR YOU
WISH TO SPEAK. HERE. SENATOR
DURAZO. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, UM, COLLEAGUES. I
REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT THE
ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED IN
MY BUDGET COMMITTEE SINCE 2020.
WE HEARD FROM TRIAL COURT
EMPLOYEES ABOUT SERIOUS
DIFFICULTY HEARING UNDERSTANDING
AND TRANSLATING WITNESS
TESTIMONY REMOTELY DURING THE
PANDEMIC. TESTIMONY FROM QUART
OFFICIALS WAS THE OPPOSITE. THEY
SAID. EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AND
YET IN 2022 BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE
FIVE WHICH I CHAIR RECEIVED A
PROPOSAL FOR COURTS TO UPGRADE
THEIR TECHNOLOGY. WE PROVIDED
$33 MILLION TO SUPPORT REMOTE
ACCESS IN COURTROOM PROCEEDINGS,
INCLUDING UPGRADING AUDIO AND
VIDEO EQUIPMENT IN THE
COURTROOMS DESPITE RECEIVING THE
$33 MILLION FOR TECHNOLOGY, MOST
COURTS HAVE NOT INSTALLED THE
APPROPRIATE AND NECESSARY
TECHNOLOGY. JUST YOUR COUNCIL IS
STILL IN THE PROCESS OF ADOPTING
MINIMUM TECHNOLOGY STANDARDS TO
ENSURE THAT THE TECHNOLOGY
ALLOWS FOR AN ACCURATE VERBATIM
RECORD AND A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN
PROCEEDINGS. TECHNOLOGICAL
ACCESS AND FAMILIARITY VERY
AMONG COURT USERS. ALL INTERNET
CONNECTIONS FAILED, BUT REMOTE
PROCEEDINGS EXACERBATE THE
DIGITAL DIVIDE FOR COURT USERS
WITH PORTS. UH INTERNET ACCESS.
SOME COURT USERS DON'T HAVE A
PRIVATE SPACE TO PARTICIPATE IN
REMOTE PROCEEDINGS. SOME LIVE IN
MULTIFAMILY SITUATIONS WHERE
THEY CANNOT CONTROL
INTERRUPTIONS. AS A RESULT, THE
USE OF REMOTE APPEARANCES HAS
CAUSED SEVERAL ISSUES IN THE
COURTROOM. DIFFICULTIES
DISCERNING WHO IS SPEAKING
PEOPLE SPEAKING OVER ONE ANOTHER
DIFFICULTY HEARING ALL PARTIES
DUE TO AMBIENT BACKGROUND NOISE.
FAILED INTERNET CONNECTIONS.
JUDGES SOMETIMES IGNORE COURT
REPORTERS ATTEMPTS TO STOP
PROCEEDINGS AND THEN CANNOT
CAPTURE THE RECORD. COURT
REPORTER LICENSES AND CAREERS
COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. THEY ARE
OBLIGATED BOTH BY STATUTE TO
MAINTAIN THE OFFICIAL VERBATIM
RECORD. REPORTERS CANNOT DO THIS
IF THEY CAN'T HEAR DURING
PROCEEDINGS. WITNESS TESTIMONY
MUST BE IN PERSON BECAUSE REMOTE
PROCEEDINGS INCREASED POTENTIAL
FOR TAMPERING. INTIMIDATION MAKE
A DIFFICULT TO ASSESS
CREDIBILITY AND VERIFY IDENTITY.
WE CANNOT TAKE FOR GRANTED
DISPARITIES THAT EXIST IN THE
HALLS OF OUR COURTROOMS,
INCLUDING FOR POOR PEOPLE, THE
ELDERLY AND NON ENGLISH
SPEAKERS. THESE DISPARITIES ARE
EXACERBATED BY TECHNOLOGY IF WE
DO NOT HAVE STANDARDS AND
PROTECTIONS IN PLACE I SUPPORTED
MY COLLEAGUE, THE AUTHORS BILL
IN 2021 SB 241 TO ENACT UNTIL
JULY OF THIS YEAR. OF LAST YEAR,
A FRAMEWORK FOR THE USE OF
REMOTE TECHNOLOGY IN CIVIL
CASES. UNFORTUNATELY THIS BILL
IS MOVING FORWARD. IT SHOULD
HAVE GREATER INCLUSION OF THE
ALL THE DISCUSSIONS WE HAVE HAD
WITH COREY PORTER'S INTERPRETERS
AND CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS.
THERE'S NO NEED TO EXPEDITE THIS
BILL. WE NEEDED THOUGHTFUL,
COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO MAKE
SURE ALL PARTIES IN OUR JUDICIAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM ARE REPRESENTED.
ALTHOUGH WE MORE PROCEEDINGS
OFFER CONVENIENCE FOR SOME
INDIVIDUALS, JUSTICE REQUIRES
ACCURACY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
SENATOR TERRAZZO AND MY
APOLOGIES FOR NOT SENIOR
MICROPHONE. EARLIER ANY FURTHER
COMMENTS, DISCUSSION DEBATES.
SEEN ON SENATOR AMBER G. MAY
CLOSE. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
AND THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUE
FROM LOS ANGELES. I KNOW THAT'S
BEEN ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE AND
ENGAGEMENT. UM FOR MY COLLEAGUE.
LET ME JUST ADDRESS SOME OF THE
CONCERNS. FIRST, THE CONCERN
WITH RESPECT TO THE INDIVIDUAL
DEFENDANT. AN INDIVIDUAL
DEFENDANT WISHES TO BE PRESENT.
THAT INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANT HAS A
RIGHT TO BE PRESENT ME EMPHASIZE
THAT THAT INDIVIDUAL DEFENDANT
HAS A RIGHT TO BE PRESENT REMOTE
ACCESS, NO REMOTE ACCESS
APPEARANCE WILL EVER BE REQUIRED
. NUMBER ONE NUMBER TWO IN TERMS
OF BEING ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE RECORD IS ACCURATE. BILL
REQUIRES A COURT REPORTEDLY
PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN THE
COURTROOM WENT TESTIMONY IS
BEING PRODUCED. THAT COURT
REPORTER CAN STOP THE
PROCEEDINGS IF HE OR SHE CANNOT
HEAR AND CANNOT PROPERLY REPORT
OR TRANSCRIBED. THE ATTORNEYS,
BOTH FOR THE PROSECUTION, AS
WELL AS THE DEFENSE CAN ALSO
HALT THE PROCEEDINGS AS WELL AS
THE JUDGE IN TERMS OF ACCESS,
REMOTE ACCESS IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT FOR INDIGENOUS, AND
THAT'S WHY VIRTUALLY EVERY
PUBLIC LAW INSTITUTION IN
CALIFORNIA. THAT REPRESENTS
INDIGENTS SUPPORTS THIS BILL,
PARTICULARLY FOR THE ELDERLY.
UM, OFTENTIMES, THOSE OF YOU WHO
PRACTICE KNOW THAT SOMETIMES THE
COURT APPEARANCES ONLY FIVE
MINUTES. IF YOU ARE, FOR EXAMPLE
, HOMEBOUND, AND YOU HAVE TO
MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GO TO COURT
FOR FIVE MINUTE APPEARANCE.
THAT'S INCREDIBLY ONEROUS. THE
SAME IS IF YOU'RE IN URGENT, AND
YOU HAVE A JOB. THE DOCKS YOUR
WAGES IF YOU MISS A DAY OF WORK,
AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS, I
ASKED THAT THE SUNSET THE
EXTENDED THE SUNSET CAUSES THIS
BILL TO EXPIRE THIS YEAR. I
URGENT I VOTE ALL DEBATE HAVING
CEASED, SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL. ALAN I BROUGHT A GILL.

SENATOR CORTEZ. SECRETARY PLEASE
READ SENATE BILL 554 BY SENATOR
CORTESI AND EQUALING TWO
RESTRAINING ORDERS. SENATOR
CORTEZ, THE FLOOR IS YOURS.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS. CURRENT LAWS IN
CALIFORNIA FIELD OUTLINE
JURISDICTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY
FOR RESTRAINING ORDER PETITIONS.
THIS GAP OFTEN CAUSES COURSE TO
DISMISS OR DENY ORDERS WHEN
PETITIONERS ARE IN DIFFERENT
STATES EVEN IF THE SURVIVOR FLED
FOR SAFETY. S P 554 ALLOWS
SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
OR HARASSMENT TO PETITION FOR AN
ORDER IN A CALIFORNIA COURT,
REGARDLESS OF RESIDENCY STATUS,
THE NATURE OF ABUSE. HAS
TRANSFORMED, SO MUST OUR LAWS.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES
PERPETRATORS OF VARIETY OF NEW
TOOLS TO HARASS IMPROVEMENT,
PROMOTE VIOLENCE AGAINST
SURVIVORS, EVEN FROM DISTANCE.
THE NEED FOR THIS BILL IS
TREMENDOUS INTERCEDE. VIOLENCE
IS NOW THE NORM, NOT THE
EXCEPTION. PERPETRATORS HAVE NO
BORDERS. NEITHER SHOULD HAVE
SURVIVORS PROTECTION. THE BILL
IS SPONSORED BY THE NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN. RESTRAINING ORDERS
WITHOUT BORDERS. RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU,
SENATOR CORTEZ ANY DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE ON THIS MEASURE?
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.

THE LCP, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE
LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM IN ORDER
TO BUILD A PROTECTED BIKE LANE
PROJECT RESULTED IN A DIFFICULT,
EXPENSIVE TIME CONSUMING AND AT
TIMES NEEDLESSLY CONTENTIOUS
PROCESS. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US
AS POLICYMAKERS TO ENSURE GOOD
GOVERNANCE THROUGHOUT THE STATE
AND ELIMINATE BUREAUCRATIC
HURDLES THAT MAY PREVENT OR
PROLONGED PROJECTS THAT PROVIDE
A NET POSITIVE TO SOCIETY AND
OUR ENVIRONMENT. SB 689 DOES

WILK. NO. VOTE OF 31 TO 8. THE
MEASURE PASSES MEMBERS. WE'RE
GONNA MOVE NEXT TO FILL AND 18
AND WE'RE GONNA GO VIOLATE HIM.
18 THROUGH 25. IF YOU WANT TO BE
PREPARED 18 ALL THE WAY TO FILE
ITEM 25 NEXT UP, SENATOR
PORTANTINO SP 53. HE'S PREPARED,
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ SENATE
BILL 53 BY SENATOR PORTANTINO
AND ACTUALLY INTO FIREARMS,
SENATOR PORTANTINO. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS IN 2019
I AUTHORED SB 172, WHICH
ESTABLISHED A SAFE FIREARM
STORAGE REQUIREMENT IN
CALIFORNIA. SB 53 IS AN
EXPANSION OF THOSE REQUIREMENTS
BY CREATING ADDITIONAL STANDARDS
FOR SAFELY SECURING ALL GUNS IN
HOMES. EXISTING LAW REQUIRES
FIREARMS IN THE HOME TO EITHER
BE KEPT IN A LOCKED CONTAINER OR
SECURED WITH A LOCKING DEVICE
THAT PREVENTS THE GUN FROM
FUNCTIONING IF A CHILD UNDER THE
AGE OF 18 IS IN THE HOME, BUT
THERE IS NO NO BROAD REQUIREMENT
FOR THE SECURE STORAGE OF A
FIREARM BY ALL GUN OWNERS. LET
ME SAY THAT AGAIN. THERE IS NO
BROAD REQUIREMENT FOR THE SECURE
STORAGE OF FIREARMS BY ALL GUN
OWNERS. THAT'S BY FIREARM IS THE
NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF DEATH FOR
CHILDREN IN OUR COUNTRY
NATIONWIDE OVER 4.6 MILLION
MINERS LIVE IN HOMES WITH ACCESS
TO UNSECURED GUNS AND ONE IN
FIVE GUN OWNERS STORE THEIR
FIREARMS IN THE LEAST SAFE
MANNER, SUCH AS LOADED AND
UNLOCKED OVER 70% OF CHILDREN
REPORTED KNOWING THE LOCATION OF
A HOUSEHOLD FIREARM. AND ONE IN
FIVE PARENTS WHO REPORTED THAT
THEIR CHILD HAD NEVER HANDLED
THE HOUSEHOLD FIREARMS WERE
CONTRADICTED BY THEIR CHILDREN.
ADDITIONALLY, 76% OF SCHOOL
SHOOTERS OBTAINED THEIR FIREARMS
FROM THEIR PARENTS' HOME OR THE
HOME OF A CLOSE RELATIVE. SB 53
INTENDS TO REDUCE FIREARM,
SUICIDE AND UNINTENTIONAL
FIREARM INJURIES THROUGH THE
SAFE STORAGE OF WEAPONS RESEARCH
SHOWS THAT STATES THAT HAVE
IMPLEMENTED SAFE STORAGE LAWS
SAW A 78% DROP IN UNINTENTIONAL
SHOOTINGS COMMITTED BY CHILDREN
COMPARED TO STATES THAT DO NOT
HAVE SAFE STORAGE LAWS. THIS
DOES NOT INFRINGE UPON THE
SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHT AND IT
RATHER ENSURES THAT WE HAVE SAFE
STORAGE OF WEAPONS. IF I SAY TO
YOU BLOCK YOUR CAR. WE THINK
THAT'S COMMON SENSE. WHY
SHOULDN'T LOCKING YOUR GUN? JUST
BE PRUDENT COMMON SENSE AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE, SENATOR
CIERTO THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. UM.
THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE BILL,
AND THE BILL IS DUPLICATIVE.
IT'S PUNITIVE. TO THE WRONG
FOLKS. IT'S UNENFORCEABLE, AND
IT'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL. AS
POINTED OUT BY SOME PEOPLE
ALREADY, THE CALIFORNIA ALREADY
HAS THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE
STORAGE LAWS IN THE NATION. WE
HAVE LAWS PROTECTING OUR
CHILDREN ALREADY ON THE BOOKS.
WE ALREADY REQUIRED TO ONE OF
OUR OWN ONE OF THESE DEVICES.
WHEN YOU PURCHASE A GUN, YOU'RE
ALREADY REQUIRED TO DO THAT.
ALREADY GUILTY NOW OF A CRIME.
IF YOU LEAVE A GUN ACCESSIBLE TO
CHILDREN. OUTSIDE OF ANOTHER
CRIME BEING COMMITTED. THIS IS
UNENFORCEABLE. IT'S ALSO ON ITS
FACE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE
REQUIREMENT THAT ANY LAWFUL
FIREARM IN THE HOME BE
DISASSEMBLED OR BOUND BY A
TRIGGER LOCK. MAKES IT
IMPOSSIBLE FOR CITIZENS TO USE
ARMS FOR THE CORE, LAWFUL
PURPOSE OF SELF DEFENSE. AND HIS
HANDS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THIS IS
ALREADY FOUND BY A FEDERAL
COURT. WHAT THIS WILL DO IS THIS
WILL CAUSE CALIFORNIA LAW THAT
IF THIS PASSES TO BE CHALLENGED
IN COURT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE
THE FIDUCIARIES OF OUR CITIZENS
TAX MONEY. AND DOING SOMETHING
THAT WE KNOW IS GOING TO COST
THEM A LOT OF MONEY IN COURT
THEIR TAX MONEY AND THEN LOSING
IN COURT, WHICH WE WILL DO. IS
NOT VERY RESPONSIBLE ON OUR
HALF. SO THIS IF THIS BILL
PASSES. IT WILL LEAD TO MILLIONS
IN LEGAL FEES FOR LEGAL DEFENSE.
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT
THIS BILL THAT REALLY IRRITATES
ME. AND EDITS THIS. MOST PEOPLE
LIVE. A LOT OF PEOPLE LIVE IN
COMMUNITIES. WHERE THEY CAN HAVE
THEIR GUN AND THEY CAN HAVE IT
SAFELY STORED BECAUSE GUESS
WHAT? THEY'LL NEVER NEED IT. SO
IT IS IRRELEVANT WHERE IT'S
STORED. BUT THERE WERE A LOT OF
COMMUNITIES OUT THERE AND THEIR
COMMUNITIES, WHICH I SERVED FOR
MANY YEARS. AND THOSE
COMMUNITIES. YOU DON'T HAVE TIME
. THE WHEN SOMEBODY BREAKS INTO
YOUR HOUSE. THEIR FIDDLE WITH
THE LOCK IN THE STORAGE. AND GET
YOUR GUN OUT BECAUSE BY THEN YOU
WILL BE DEAD. THOSE ARE
COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T HAVE THE
PRIVILEGES OF HAVING A SAFE
COMMUNITY. AND THOSE ARE THE
VERY PEOPLE THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY
DOING THESE THESE LAST FOUR SO
THIS LAW IS UNNECESSARY. WE
ALREADY HAVE LAWS ON THE BOOKS.
IN IN IN GENERAL LAW, THERE'S
ALREADY A NEGLIGENCE CLAUSE. IF
SOMEBODY IS NEGLIGENT IN THE
HANDLING OR STORAGE OR THE
KEEPING OF A FIREARM, AND IT
RESULTS IN THE DEATH OF ANOTHER.
WELL GUESS WHAT? THEY'RE GOING
TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT,
SO IT IS UNNECESSARY SO
UNNECESSARILY WE ARE FORWARDING
ARE TRYING TO ADVANCE A BILL
THAT'S GOING TO JUST COST US A
BUNCH OF MONEY AND THEN GET
THROWN OUT IN COURT EVENTUALLY,
ANYWAY. SO IT WAS POINTED OUT IN
COMMITTEE THAT I'M A PUBLIC
SAFETY GUY AND ALL MY IT MAKES
COMMON SENSE. THIS IS COMMON
SENSE. FOR SOME PEOPLE, BUT IT'S
NOT COMMON SENSE TO THE PEOPLE
THAT NEED TO USE THEIR WEAPONS
TO PROTECT THEIR SELVES AND
THEIR FAMILIES. FROM THE PEOPLE
THEY ARE BREAKING INTO THEIR
HOMES WERE COSTING THEM. AND SO
WHY WOULD WE NOT DO? WHY WHY
DOES IT MAKE COMMON SENSE FOR
SOME PEOPLE, BUT NOT OTHERS?
COMMON SENSE IS YOUR
PERSPECTIVE. FROM WHERE YOU
LIVE. AND WHERE YOU SEE THIS
ISSUE? SO FOR ME BEING IN PUBLIC
SAFETY FOR 35 YEARS? YES. I'VE
SEEN IT ALL. NOT ALL THE
SUICIDES ARE BY GUN. THERE ARE
PLENTY OF SPRINKLED OUT OVER THE
ARRAY OF METHODS FOR PEOPLE TO
COMMIT SUICIDE. SUICIDE IS A
DIFFERENT ISSUE THAN GUN
VIOLENCE. SUICIDE IS AN ISSUE OF
MENTAL HEALTH. AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD BE
WORKING ON. THIS IS NOT GOING TO
HELP THAT ISSUE. SO I WOULD URGE
A NO VOTE ON THIS. SO THAT WE
CAN CONTINUE TO HELP PEOPLE. BUT
WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE
CRIMINALS. OUT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
SIMPLY USING THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO OWN A
GUN. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
SENATOR SUNARTO ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE? SEEN ON
SENATOR PORTANTINO YOU MAY CLOSE
. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT AND
MEMBERS. COLLEAGUES. WE KNOW
THIS WORKS. WE KNOW THIS SAVES
LIVES. LET ME SAY THAT AGAIN. WE
KNOW THIS SAVES LIVES. WE KNOW
THIS WORKS. WHEN WE HAVE THE
EXAMPLE FROM OTHER STATES OF A
PUBLIC POLICY OF PUBLIC SAFETY
POLICY. THAT MAKES IT SAFER FOR
CHILDREN TO GO TO SCHOOL. AND WE
SAY, OH, IT'S GOING TO BE
INCONVENIENT TO LOCK MY GUN UP.
THAT'S NOT COMMON SENSE. THAT'S
NOT WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AS
THE SHEPHERDS OF PUBLIC TRUST OF
PUBLIC SAFETY. OF OUR CHILDREN'S
HEALTH AND WELFARE. 70% OF THE
SHOOTERS. GET THE GUN FROM
SOMEBODY THEY KNOW BECAUSE IT'S
NOT LOCKED UP. 70% REDUCTION IN
UN INTISSAR PATED. SHOOTINGS 70%
REDUCTION WHEN THIS POLICY IS
IMPLEMENTED. THIS IS NOT AN
INFRINGEMENT ON SOMEBODY'S
SECOND AMENDMENT. THIS IS A
RECOGNITION THAT GUNS KILL
PEOPLE. AND THE READILY
AVAILABLE UNLOCKED GUNS KILL
MORE PEOPLE. AND THE BEST WAY TO
MAKE IT SAFER. FOR OUR CHILDREN
TO GO TO SCHOOL. AND FOR PEOPLE
IN HOUSEHOLDS WHERE THERE IS
TRAUMA. IS TO MAKE SURE THE
WEAPONS DON'T FALL INTO THE
WRONG HANDS. AND THE WAY TO DO
THAT IS TO LOCK THEM UP. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

A PILOT PROGRAM FOR CALIFORNIA

SCHOOL SYSTEM. IN ESSENCE, THIS
SYSTEM TEACHES KIDS LARGELY
TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL
CAREER SKILLS WHILE THEY'RE
STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL PROVIDES
STUDENTS WHO MAY NOT KNOW
WHETHER THEY WANT TO GO TO A
FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION INTO THE
WORKFORCE. IT PROVIDES THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN THOSE JOB
SKILLS. WHILE THEY'RE FIGURING
OUT THEIR FUTURE WHILE THEY'RE
IN HIGH SCHOOL, UM, WHEN I WAS
IN KOREA SEVERAL YEARS AGO, I
WAS MADE AWARE OF TWO OF THEIR
SYSTEMS THAT THEY USE ONE AS YOU
GO TO CLASS, MONDAY, TUESDAY,
WEDNESDAY AND YOU WORK THURSDAY,
FRIDAY ANOTHER IS YOU GO TO
CLASS FOR A MONTH. YOU WORK FOR
A MONTH. AND WHEN YOU GRADUATE,
YOU'VE LEARNED THE TECHNICAL
SKILLS OF THAT PARTICULAR
DISCIPLINE, AND THEY CALLED
COMMONLY REFERRED TO THOSE JOBS
AS NEW COLLAR JOBS. WE NEED A
TECH WORKFORCE IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO
MODEL OF PILOT ON A SUCCESSFUL

PASSES. WE'RE GONNA MOVE NEXT TO
FILE ITEM 22 BY SENATOR CORTEZ.
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ SENATE
BILL 43 BY SENATOR CORTESI AND
RELATING TO PEOPLE RIGHTS,
SENATOR CORTESI. THANK YOU AGAIN
, MR PRESIDENT, UM AND MEMBERS
TODAY, RICE PRESENTED SENATE
BILL 43. THIS BILL WILL PROHIBIT
PRONE RESTRAINT IN ALL
CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS. WHICH IS A
TECHNIQUE THAT PHYSICALLY OR
MECHANICALLY RESTRAINED STUDENTS
THAT ARE FACE DOWN POSITION. THE
U. S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS
RECOMMENDED THE ELIMINATION OF
THIS DANGEROUS TECHNIQUE IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS BECAUSE IT
RESTRICTS STUDENTS AIRWAYS AND
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE FATAL
AND, IN FACT HAS BEEN FATAL. BY
PASSING THIS BILL, CALIFORNIA
WILL FOLLOW THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION RECOMMENDATIONS AND
JOIN THEM MORE THAN 30 STATES
HAVE ALREADY BEEN PRONE
RESTRAINT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THAT BILL HAS NO OPPOSITION. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I VOTE.
THANK YOU, SENATOR CORTEZ. ANY
DEBATE ON THIS MEASURE? CENTER
GROVE. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
WHEN I HEARD THIS BILL IN
COMMITTEE AND I WAS MORTIFIED BY
THE MOTHER'S TESTIMONY ABOUT HER
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED CHILD
BEING IN THE PRONE POSITION FOR
HOURS AS HE DIED A SLOW, PAINFUL
DEATH. UM AND THE OTHER STUDENTS
WATCHED. UM. IT'S HARD TO
BELIEVE THAT A BILL LIKE THIS IS
NECESSARY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. WHO WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT THAT ANY TEACHER ANY
INDIVIDUAL WOULD PUT ANY STUDENT
IN A PRONE POSITION FOR HOURS AT
A TIME? THERE'S UM I MEAN, I
UNDERSTAND AN IMMEDIATE
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO PROTECT
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OTHER
STUDENTS AND THE TEACHER. BUT
BASED ON THE TESTIMONY THAT WAS
HAPPENING AT THIS PARTICULAR
SITUATION, THIS WAS A
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED
INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE HAD A
REACTION TO SOMETHING AND TO
LEAVE THAT INDIVIDUAL IN THAT
PRONE POSITION FOR HOURS AS HE
SUFFOCATED IS HORRIFIC, UM AT
BEST. AND, UM. NOT TO GO BACK TO
A BILL I INTRODUCED LAST YEAR,
BUT I THINK THAT YOU KNOW THE
PILOT PROGRAM THAT WE SAID THAT
YOU KNOW, SO THAT STUDENTS LIKE
THIS JUST AREN'T WAREHOUSED IN
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM WHERE
PARENTS COULD USE TAXPAYER
DELIVERS OF $17,000 A YEAR TO
ALLOW THESE PARENTS TO PUT THEM
IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS TO CREATE UPWARD
MOBILITY AND MAYBE A MORE A MORE
ADEQUATE FACILITY THAT WOULD
HELP THOSE THAT ARE
DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED. UM BE
HIGHER WAGE EARNERS AND HIGHER
LEARNERS BECAUSE THEY WOULD HAVE
SPECIALTY ATTENTION INSTEAD OF
TREATMENT LIKE THIS, AND I'M NOT
SAYING ALL SCHOOLS ARE LIKE
THIS. I JUST THINK THERE NEEDS
TO BE OPTIONS OUT THERE AGAIN. I
APPLAUD THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD. IT WAS HEART
WRENCHING TO LISTEN TO THAT
MOTHER TELL THE STORY OF WHAT
HAPPENED TO HER SON. AND I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
THANK YOU, SENATOR GROVE. ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION? ANY FURTHER
DEBATE, SENATOR CORTEZ, YOU
MIGHT CLOSE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE MEMBERS. THIS IS
ELIGIBLE FOR UNANIMOUS ROLL
CALL. SEE NO OBJECTION IS 39 0.
THE MEASURE PASSES WILL MOVE
NEXT TO FILE ITEM. 23 THIS IS SP
571 BY SENATOR ALLEN. HE'S NOT
AT HIS DESK. WE'LL MOVE NEXT TO
FILE ITEM 24. THIS IS, UH, I'M
SORRY. IT'S JUST I GUESS WE'LL
HEAR IT NEXT YEAR. THIS IS A
FILE ITEM. VIOLATING 24. THIS IS
SP 575 BY SENATOR WAHABI, THE
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ SENATE
BILL 575 BY SENATOR WAHAB
EQUALING TWO UNDERAGE MARRIAGE.
SENATOR WAHAHA. THANK YOU. CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. CALIFORNIA LACKS A
REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACT
OF CHILD MARRIAGES ACROSS THE
STATE. WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT
CALIFORNIA AFFORDS ITS CHILDREN
SOME OF THE WEAKEST PROTECTIONS
AGAINST CHILDHOOD MARRIAGE IN
THE UNITED STATES. DATA SHOWS
THAT 90% OF WOMEN WHO WERE IN
CHILDHOOD MARRIAGES, REPORT
PHYSICAL, SEXUAL OR EMOTIONAL
ABUSE. CURRENTLY CHILDREN IN THE
STATE REQUIRE THE CONSENT OF ONE
PARENT AND A COURT ORDER TO BE
MARRIED. BUT THERE ARE LOOPHOLES
IN REPORTING. CHILD MARRIAGES
WITHOUT COURT ORDERS ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO BE REPORTED. SP 575
CLOSES THAT LOOPHOLE AND
REQUIRES ALL CHILD MARRIAGES TO
BE REPORTED. TO MAKE GENUINE
PROGRESS TOWARDS SUPPORTING OUR
CHILDREN. WE NEED TO IDENTIFY
THE SCALE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS
BILL DIRECTS COUNTY RECORDERS TO
ISSUE A REPORT OF ALL CHILD
MARRIAGES IN 2019 2024 TO THE
STATE REGISTRAR. THIS BILL ALSO
ESTABLISHES A STUDY TO DETERMINE
THE IMPACT OF EXTRALEGAL CHILD
MARRIAGES AND GATHER IT
ESSENTIAL DATA TO DETERMINE THE
SCOPE OF THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SENATOR WAHABI ANY
FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THIS
MEASURE? IT IS ELIGIBLE FOR
UNANIMOUS ROLL CALL. NO
OBJECTION. EYES 39 0.

ITEM 23 SP 571 BY SENATOR ALLEN
HE SEEMS TO BE DISTRACTED.
ALRIGHT WE'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA
GO BACK TO FILE ITEM 571 THE
SECRETARY. PLEASE READ SENATE
BILL 571 BY SENATOR ALLEN AND
ACCORDING TO FIRE SAFETY UNDER
ALAN, THE PRIVILEGED FLOOR IS
YOURS. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
YOU'RE DOING GREAT JOB TODAY. UM
PLEASED TO BE PRESENTING THIS
BILL IS BASED BILL CHARGES ARE
STATE BOARD OF FORESTRY WITH THE
TASK OF STUDYING STANDARDS
RELATED TO INGRESS AND EGRESS
FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS PROPOSED IN
AND HIGH RISK FIRE AREAS OF THE
STATE FIRE PRONE AREAS OF THE
STATE. SO WE FIND OURSELVES IN A
BIT OF A CONFERENCE OF A CRISIS
HERE. WE CONTINUE TO NEED TO
DEVELOP ADDITIONAL HOUSING. WE
ALSO NEED TO BE MAKING SURE THAT
WE'RE MAKING THESE DECISIONS
WITH THE NECESSARY CONSIDERATION
OF THE THREATS THAT SOME AREAS
POSE. LAST YEAR, OF COURSE, THE
BOARD RELEASED ITS MINIMUM FIRE
SAFETY REGULATIONS, BUT THOSE
REGULATIONS DID NOT DIRECTLY
CONSIDER A MINIMUM NUMBER OF
INGRESS AND EGRESS ROUTES
REQUIRED IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS AND
MANY AREAS OF MY DISTRICT. I'M
SURE MANY OF YOURS YOU'VE GOT
EXISTING EVACUATION ROUTES THAT
ARE REALLY GETTING POTENTIALLY
THE POTENTIAL BEING STRETCHED
THIN IN THE EVENT OF A MAJOR
WILDFIRE EMERGENCY AND WITHOUT
CONSIDERATION AND INCLUSION OF
ADDITIONAL EVACUATION ROUTES IN
NEW BUILDS, THE CONSEQUENCES
COULD BE DEADLY. SO THIS BILL
SEEKS A VALUABLE STEP BY
DIRECTING THE BOARD TO STUDY
THIS ISSUE WHILE CONSIDERING
IMPORTANT COMPONENTS LIKE
DEVELOPMENT SIZE. IF WE CONTAIN
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, TRAFFIC
IMPACTS AND OTHERS. IT'S A WORK
IN PROGRESS. WE'RE WORKING WITH
STAKEHOLDERS ON THIS NUANCE BUT
IMPORTANT ISSUE I'VE COMMITTED
TO KEEPING BOTH THE RELEVANT
POLICY COMMITTEES APPRISED OF
THE BILL MOVED FROM OUR CHAMBER
TODAY. I'VE SPOKEN WITH A COUPLE
OF YOU ABOUT SELLING CERTAIN
STANDARDS FOR MINIMUM SIZE BUILD
SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON ON
SIZEABLE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT
COULD DRAMATICALLY STRAIN OUR
ABILITY TO GET PEOPLE OUT DURING
A WILDFIRE EMERGENCY, AND THAT'S
THE GOAL OF THE BILL HERE AND I,
YOU KNOW IN ORDER TO KEEP HAVING
THESE VERY IMPORTANT
DISCUSSIONS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR MY VOTE. THANK YOU, SENATOR
ALLEN. I SEE THAT MICROPHONES UP
FROM CENTER LAIRD AND THEN
SENATOR DODD, SENATOR LAIRD.
THANK YOU, UM YEAH. MR PRESIDENT
EXPRESSED CONCERNS ABOUT THIS IN
COMMITTEE. BECAUSE THE BOARD OF
FORESTRY WAS TASKED WITH THIS
AND THEY COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE
THERE WERE REALLY BIG ISSUES
THAT THEY COULDN'T RESOLVE. AND
WHAT THIS BILL DOES, IT SAYS
WILL FORCE YOU TO RESOLVE IT,
BUT IS SILENT IN MANY WAYS ABOUT
THE STANCE ON THOSE ISSUES. AND
IN MY DISTRICT. WE LOST 925
HOMES TO FIRE. AND SOME OF THE
INGRESS AND EGRESS IS SINGLE.
AND IF THERE'S A NEW UNDER THIS
BILL UNDER IF THERE IS A NEW
BILL, A NEW HOUSE PROPOSED IN
ANY OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS, MANY
OF THE PEOPLE THAT WERE BURNED
OUT CANNOT REBUILD. THAT WOULD
BE UNACCEPTABLE. AND I HAVE. I
HAVE BEEN DEBATING WHAT TO DO ON
THIS BILL BECAUSE IT'S
CONSTANTLY A WORK IN PROGRESS AS
IT'S COME BY, AND I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT I CAN GO HOME AND NOT
FACE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND SAY
SORRY WE PASSED THIS BILL AND
YOU CANNOT REBUILD FROM THE FIRE
, SO I JUST WANT TO PUT THAT ON
THE RECORD, AND REGARDLESS OF
WHAT I DO TODAY TO ME, THAT HAS
TO BE WORKED OUT. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SENATOR LAIRD,
SENATOR DODD. SENATOR DODD AND
THEN SENATOR DOLLY. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT. I CONCUR WITH THE
COMMENTS FROM MY COLLEAGUE FROM
SANTA SANTA CRUZ IS, UH,
SOMEBODY THAT HAD A NUMBER OF
HOMES BURNED DOWN THROUGHOUT MY
ENTIRE DISTRICT. AH I REALLY
THINK THE LAST EFFORT BY THE
BOARD OF FORESTRY FRANKLY, WAS
AN ABJECT FAILURE. I HAD MANY,
MANY CASES WITH THE RULES THAT
THEY PUT FORWARD AND THEN
FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET
THOSE GUIDELINES AND NOT
MANDATES OR YOU KNOW FOR COUNTY,
SO THE COUNTIES HAVE THE
DISCRETION TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT
THEY NEED TO DO IN, YOU KNOW, IN
IN THEIR COUNTIES. I THINK IT'S
CRITICAL THAT WE CONTINUE AND I
DID TALK TO YOU KNOW, THE AUTHOR
FROM LOS ANGELES THAT HE'LL WORK
WITH R C R C AND TRY TO GET A
MINIMUM THRESHOLD, SO THIS
DOESN'T HIT THE TYPE OF PEOPLE
THAT THE SENATOR FROM SANTA CRUZ
SUGGESTED IT WOULD. AND I AGREE
WHOLEHEARTEDLY IT NOT ONLY WOULD
BUT IT DID, AND WE HAD A LOT OF
WORK TO DO TO GET IT TO WHERE IT
IS RIGHT NOW WHERE IT'S YOU
KNOW, KIND OF DISCRETIONARY ON
THE PART OF THE COUNTIES, BUT
THE COUNTIES ARE AFRAID BECAUSE
THEY'RE THINKING, HEY, THE
STATES GIVEN THESE RULES, AND
SOME COUNTIES DO NOT BELIEVE
IT'S DISCRETIONARY. THEY BELIEVE
THAT THAT THEY IT'S THE LAW OF
THE LAND, AND THEY'RE THEY'RE
ENFORCING IT, AND THAT'S I JUST
THINK IT'S THE WORST THING WE
COULD DO. SO WE'VE GOT TO BE
VERY, VERY CAREFUL. I WILL
SUPPORT IT TODAY. UM BUT I
PROMISE IF THIS COMES BACK LIKE
THIS ON THE FLOOR THAT I'LL GET
UP AND SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE
BILL. THANK YOU, SENATOR DODD. I
HAVE MICROPHONES FROM SENATOR
DOLLY AND SENATOR WIENER,
SENATOR DOLLY! THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT MEMBERS, I JUST TO
WANT TO SAY THAT SOMEBODY HAS
REPRESENTED MANY AREAS THAT HAVE
HAD FIRES. UH YOU KNOW THE
CAMPFIRE THE CAR FIRE THE DIXIE
FIRE. UM AND WE'VE HAD EGRESS
PROBLEMS AND THAT THOSE ARE
PASSED. THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT. AND I APPLAUD THE
AUTHOR FOR THAT. BUT I WILL BE
LAYING OFF TODAY BECAUSE THE
DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS. WE NEED
TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE
DON'T PENALIZE FOLKS WHO, UM ARE
IN A IN A SPOT WHERE THEY'VE
LOST EVERYTHING AND THEN CAN'T
REBUILD AND TRUST ME. I KNOW
THAT THE SENATOR FROM SANTA CRUZ
IS TALKING ABOUT. I'VE HEARD
FROM THEM TO TRUST. THE AUTHOR
WILL WORK THOSE DETAILS OUT AS
WE GO FORWARD. HOPEFULLY, WE
WON'T SEE A LOT OF AMENDMENTS
THAT HURT FOLKS AND WE ACTUALLY
GET WHERE WE'RE TRYING TO GO,
WHICH MAKES FIRE SAFE
COMMUNITIES AWAY. THEY CAN GET
OUT AND THEY CAN STILL BUILD.
THAT'S THE GOAL HERE. SO I
APPLAUD THE AUTHOR FOR THAT. BUT
I'LL BE WATCHING THIS BILL AS IT
GOES THROUGH. THANK YOU, SENATOR
WIENER. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT.
SO WHEN THIS BILL WAS FIRST IN
PRINT AND COMING TO THE
COMMITTEE IS THE AUTHOR KNOWS I
HAD VERY, VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS
ABOUT THE BILL. AND NOT FOR MY
WOULD HAVE BEEN A NO ON THE
BILL, AND I WANT TO REALLY THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR GREEN TO PULL
BACK AND TO TAKE MORE TIME AND
TO ACTUALLY INVOKE A PROCESS
HERE, AND I UNDERSTAND THEIR
CONCERNS ABOUT THAT PROCESS. BUT
I REALLY WANT TO GIVE THE AUTHOR
CREDIT FOR DOING THAT. BECAUSE
THE ORIGINAL BILL BILL, IN MY
VIEW WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
ACCEPTABLE AND I DO APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR TAKING MORE TIME SO
I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL
TODAY. THANK YOU, SENATOR WIENER
ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR
DEBATE? SCENE NINE. SENATOR
ALLEN, YOU MAY CLOSE EXCUSE ME.
SENATOR STERN. SORRY TO BE
BELIEVED IN THE DEBATE. I GUESS
IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DISTRICTS
WHO HAVE BEEN HIT BY FIRES LAST
MORE PROPERTIES IN THE WOOLSEY
FIRE THAN ANY FIRE OF EVERY LAST
THREE DECADES. LOST MY OWN HOME
HAD EVACUATION THAT WAS BOTCHED.
UH HUH. AND PUT A MY GRANDFATHER
IN THE HOSPITAL SO INGRESS AND
EGRESS IS AWFULLY PERSONAL AND
SERIOUS, ACTUALLY REALLY RESPECT
WHAT THE AUTHOR IS TRYING TO DO
HERE, AND I KNOW THESE ARE
TRICKY TENSIONS OF YOU KNOW, YOU
WANNA AFTER THAT FIRE HAPPENS UP
THAT THAT LONG, WINDY ROAD. YOU
WANT TO GO REBUILD WHATEVER WAS
THERE AND A LOT OF TIMES IT'S
PEOPLE, UH, WITH VERY NICE HOMES
WHO MAYBE WANT TO GO REBUILD AN
EVEN NICER HOME. I DON'T THINK
ANY OF THIS BILL IS GOING TO GET
IN THE WAY OF THOSE PEOPLE DOING
WHAT THEY GOTTA DO. I THINK IT'S
REALLY ABOUT TRYING TO BACKDOOR.
UM BIG NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THESE
FIRE ZONES WITHOUT ADEQUATE
OVERSIGHT. SO I DIDN'T I DIDN'T
TAKE FROM THE AUTHOR'S
PRESENTATION AT ALL THAT FOR THE
FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN HIT BY FIRES
THAT THERE'S ANY TEND TO BLOCK
THAT RE REBUILDING, BUT I THINK
WE ALL NEED TO BE SERIOUS ON
THIS FLOOR ABOUT THE INSURANCE
CRISIS AND THAT IF WE ARE GOING
TO EXPAND DEVELOPMENT DEEPER
INTO THESE FIRE ZONES, WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE AN EVEN GREATER
INSURANCE CRISIS. SO I GUESS I'M
STANDING IN SUPPORT OF SOMEONE
WHO FACED SIMILAR PROBLEMS, AND
I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S WORK.
MAYBE YOU CAN COMMENT ON THAT IN
YOUR CLOTHES. THANK YOU, SENATOR
STERN ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? C
NINE CENTRALITY MAY CLOSE I
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT. WE WERE FOCUSED ON NEW
DEVELOPMENT. SO THE KIND OF
REBUILD THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT SENATOR FROM SANTA CRUZ IS
NOT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING TO GET AT
HERE. WE ACTUALLY HAD PROPOSED
MINIMUM STANDARDS. SENATOR FROM
NAPA AND I WERE DISCUSSING THIS
IN OUR IN OUR BILL AS ORIGINALLY
FORMULATED. TO SAY THAT WE WOULD
ONLY THIS BILL WOULD ONLY BY THE
WAY, LET'S REMEMBER IT'S JUST
ASKING THE BOARD TO STUDY THIS
ISSUE, BUT BUT EVEN THEN WE
WANTED THE MINIMUM STANDARD TO
BE THE KIND OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
THAT WOULD TRIGGER AN INCREASE
IN 40 VEHICLES THAT WOULD NEED
TO BE EVACUATED ON A DIME.
WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF A
CATASTROPHIC, QUICK MOVING
WILDFIRE SO THAT YOU KNOW THE
IDEA BEING THAT WOULD BE AT 20
RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR THE
COMMERCIAL EQUIVALENT. THE WORD.
WE'RE CERTAINLY WE DON'T WANT TO
HIT PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO REBUILD.
I WANT TO MAKE THAT REALLY
CLEAR. AH, AND WE DO WANT TO
HAVE THESE MINIMUMS NOW. THE
NATURAL RESOURCE WATER COMMITTEE
WAS TOOK THAT OUT. I QUITE
FRANKLY, YOU KNOW, WE HAD, SO
WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SOME
SOME FURTHER NEGOTIATION WITH
THE COMMITTEE. I VERY MUCH
WELCOME YOUR ENGAGEMENT IN THAT
CONVERSATION, SENATOR. UH,
BECAUSE THEY WANT A MORE
EXPANSIVE VIEW. I'M ALSO HEARING
FROM ALL EVERYONE HERE ON THE
FLOOR TODAY. WE WANT TO REALLY
KEEP THIS TIGHT. I AGREE WITH
YOU, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO
ENGAGE THAT CONVERSATION WITH
THE COMMITTEE. BUT BUT
ULTIMATELY THIS IS ABOUT
ENSURING THAT THAT AS WE ARE
LOOKING, YOU KNOW, AS AS FOLKS
ARE TRYING TO DEVELOP MAJOR NEW
DEVELOPMENTS INVOLVING LITERALLY
KIND OF 20. NEW HOUSING UNITS OR
MORE OR AN EQUIVALENT AH, THAT
THAT WE'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT.
THE IMPORTANCE OF INGRESS AND
EGRESS. IN THE CASE OF A
CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRE. WE SAW
WHAT HAPPENED IN PARADISE. WE'VE
SEEN OTHER CASES SUCH AS THOSE
MENTIONED BY THE SENATOR. FROM
UH FROM LOS ANGELES AND IT'S
THAT THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
ADDRESS HERE. UH AND IT'S WITH
THAT THAT I ASKED FOR MY VOTE.

THE BILL. SENATE BILL 764 BY
SENATOR BUT BY THE INOCULATED
MINERS, SENATOR PADILLA MEMBERS,
PLEASE GIVE YOUR ATTENTION TO
SENATOR PADILLA. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, MR PRESIDENT. SB 764 IS
THE CHILD CONTENT CREATOR RIGHTS
ACT, WHICH WILL REQUIRE FAMILY
CONTENT CREATORS WHO ARE
COMPENSATED FOR FILMING THEIR
MINOR CHILDREN. IN MORE THAN 30%
OF THEIR CONTENT TO SET ASIDE A
PERCENTAGE OF THAT REVENUE IN A
TRUST THAT MINOR CAN ACCESS WHEN
THEY REACH THE AGE OF MAJORITY.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, WELL,
CALIFORNIA'S GROUNDBREAKING
COOGAN AC NEARLY THREE QUARTERS
OF A CENTURY AGO, PROTECTS CHILD
ACTORS IN CALIFORNIA OPERATING
UNDER CONTRACT WHO ARE FILMED,
BUT THESE PROTECTIONS DO NOT
EXTENT TO THE EMERGING
CIRCUMSTANCE WE FACE TODAY, THE
RISE OF SOCIAL MEDIA HAS SEEN
FAMILY CONTENT CREATORS EXPLODE.
WITH MANY PARENTS FILMING THEIR
DAILY LIVES AND EARNING
THOUSANDS, THOUSANDS AND MORE
DOLLARS IN REVENUE, SPONSORSHIPS
AND ADVERTISING. SOME REGULARLY
INCLUDE THEIR CHILDREN IN THIS
CONTENT, INCLUDING FILMING THE
INTIMATE DETAILS OF THEIR
PERSONAL LIVES FOR THEIR
AUDIENCE OF MILLIONS TO SEE. IN
ADDITION, THIS RAISES SERIOUS
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RIGHTS OF
CHILDREN WHO ARE DRAFTED INTO
THIS EMERGING ENTERTAINMENT
LANDSCAPE. VIDEOS ABOUT PEAK
MOMENTS SUCH AS NEW HOMES,
PREGNANCY, NEW BABIES GET MORE
VIEWS INCENTIVIZING FAMILIES TO
POST MORE VIDEOS OF THEIR
CHILDREN AND SACRIFICING THEIR
PRIVACY. SP 764 SIMPLY APPLIES
THE COOGAN ACT PROTECTIONS TO
MODERN ENTERTAINMENT AND
PERFORMERS AND SOCIAL MEDIA
BECOMES EVEN MORE INTEGRATED
INTO OUR DAILY LIFE AND A
GROWING SHARE OF THE
ENTERTAINMENT LANDSCAPE. WE NEED
TO UPDATE OUR HARD FOUGHT LABOR
PROVISIONS AND SAFEGUARD THE
FINANCIAL FUTURE OF THESE
PERFORMERS. SP 764 WOULD
RECOGNIZE THAT CHILDREN DESERVE
FINANCIAL PROTECTION AND
COMPENSATION FOR BEING FILLED.
THIS BILL HAS RECEIVED
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, AND I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
THANK YOU, SENATOR PADILLA. ANY
DISCUSSION ANY FURTHER DEBATE ON
THIS MEASURE MEMBERS? SEE NO

SO YOUR TOE WILK. VOTE OF 34 TO
0 IF THE MEASURE PASSES MOVE
NEXT TO FILE ITEM 28 BY SENATOR
CAVALLERO SECRETARY PLEASE READ
SENATE BILL 768 BY SENATOR
CABALLERO AND THAT RELATING TO
ENVIRONMENT EQUALITY, SENATOR
CAVALLERO. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT AND MEMBERS. UM THIS
MEMBERS, THIS CONTINUES THE SAGA
OF ONE SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. SOME
REGIONS ARE ACTUALLY DIFFERENT
THAN OTHER REGIONS. UM IN 2013
SB 743 WAS SIGNED INTO LAW AND
IT'S AND IT ESTABLISHED A
SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE AND
JUDICIAL REVIEW PROCESS UNDER
SEQUA FOR THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO
TO STREAMLINE THE DEVELOPMENT
AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE GOLDEN
ONE CENTER. SO FOR THOSE OF YOU
WHO HAVE GONE TO THE GOLDEN ONE
CENTER YOU KNOW IT IS AN INFILL
PROJECT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
CITY AND THE, UM THE BILL TASK,
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND RESEARCH TO DEVELOP
NEW GUIDELINES TO REPLACE THE
CURRENT CRITERIA USED TO MEASURE
TRANSPORTATION IMPACTS. IN OTHER
WORDS, IF YOU BUILT THAT
FACILITY, ACCORDING TO THE OLD
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, IT COULD
NOT BE DONE BECAUSE IT WAS GOING
TO INCREASE TRAFFIC IN THE
REGION. BUT BECAUSE OPR CAME UP
WITH A DIFFERENT SYSTEM, WHICH
IS VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED, THEY
GOT AROUND THAT THAT PROBLEM AND
CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO
INFILL PROJECTS IN TRANSIT RICH
COMMUNITIES, AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT WAS DONE IN THIS INSTANT.
BY A BUDGET BILL, WHICH TOOK THE
CONCEPT AND APPLIED IT TO THE
ENTIRE STATE. WE NOW HAVE A
SITUATION WHERE WE HAVE
DEVELOPMENT ALL OVER THE STATE
IN PARTICULAR HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE TO MEET
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
GUIDELINES, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU
HAVE TO PUT IN TRANSIT. YOU HAVE
TO CREATE BICYCLE LANES. YOU
HAVE TO CREATE WALKING LANES.
ALL IS A WAY TO GET PEOPLE OUT
OF THEIR HOUSES. WHAT WHAT HAS
RESULTED BY THAT IS IT HAS
RESULTED IN A FEE. BECAUSE MANY
COMMUNITIES DON'T HAVE TRANSIT
THEY BICYCLE PATH ISN'T GOING TO
MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AND IN
SUBURBAN AND RURAL AREAS THIS VM
T APPLICATION RESULTS IN
INCREASED COST FOR DEVELOPMENT
AT THE EXACT SAME TIME THAT
WE'RE TELLING COMMUNITIES WE
NEED YOU TO BUILD TO PLAN AND
BUILD FOR HOUSING. WERE ALSO
SAYING, OH, BY THE WAY, YOU HAVE
TO COMPLY WITH VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED BECAUSE IF YOU PUT THAT
HOUSE IN THAT LOCATION YOU'RE
GOING TO CREATE TRAFFIC. AND
COMMUTERS. MEMBERS WE KNOW. THAT
IN HIGHLY URBANIZED AREAS THAT
ARE NOT BUILDING ENOUGH HOUSING.
AND THAT PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING
FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY FROM
FROM THEIR PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT
TO FIND A HOUSE THAT THEY CAN
AFFORD. MY DISTRICT IN
PARTICULAR HAS SEEN THE IMPACT
OF THIS AND I KNOW IN MANY OF
YOUR DISTRICTS AS WELL. IN THIS
IN THE COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE. THE
UNIQUE SITUATION THAT WAS
CREATED IS THAT WHEN THE COUNTY
DECIDED THEY NEEDED TO IMPROVE
THE TRAFFIC ON THEIR HIGHWAY
SYSTEM, THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO
UPGRADE THE HIGHWAY SYSTEM
BECAUSE IT WOULD INCREASE
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED. IN OTHER
WORDS, RIVERSIDE WAS STOPPED
FROM DOING A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT.
THEY KEEP PEOPLE SAFE ON THE
HIGHWAY BECAUSE OF VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED. PEOPLE ARE TRAVELING
BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD A HOUSE
THERE. AND BY NOT FIXING THE
ROAD. WE DON'T IMPROVE SAFETY
AND WE DON'T DO ANYTHING TO STOP
PEOPLE FROM TRAVELING TO WHERE
THEY CAN AFFORD TO BUY. THE BILL
BASICALLY IS A STUDY BILL NOW,
AND IT'S A STUDY BILL TO GET THE
AIR BOARD THE TRANSPORTATION
AGENCY, THE HOUSING AGENCY, ALL
THE SIT DOWN AND JUST SAY, LOOK,
WE'VE SET UP PRIORITIES THAT
DON'T MAKE SENSE. WE HAVE
PENALIZED COMMUNITIES WHO ARE
BUILDING THE HOUSING THAT'S
NEEDED IN OUR STATE. BUT WHO
ALSO ARE REQUIRED TO USE A MODEL
THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR THEM. IT
DOESN'T REDUCE TRAFFIC BY ADDING
A FEE ONTO A HOUSE. IT DOESN'T
IMPROVE TRAFFIC BY NOT ALLOWING
SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS. UM WE NEED
THIS STUDY TO BE DONE SO WE CAN
FIGURE OUT HOW DO WE
INCENTIVIZED THE BUILDING OF
HOUSING? AND HOW CAN WE DO IT IN
A WAY THAT COMPLIES WITH SEQUA
AND THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF
RURAL AND SUBURBAN AREAS. AND
SO, UM, I BELIEVE IT CAN
COMPREHENSIVE STUDY IS NECESSARY
TO DRAW ATTENTION TO ANY
OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE THE BMT
ANALYSIS AND THERE'S CLEAR
EVIDENCE GAP TO JUSTIFY LIMITING
OR EXCLUDING PROJECTS PROJECTS
FROM VM EMPTY, SO WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON THIS REALLY IMPORTANT. STUDY
WELL, THANK YOU, SENATOR
CABALLERO. I SEE MICROPHONES UP
FROM SENATOR ROTH AND SENATOR
DOLLY SENATOR ROTH. THANK YOU,
MR PRESIDENT. I REALIZED IT'S
330 IN THE AFTERNOON. SO I'LL
TRY TO MAKE THIS BRIEF. YOU'VE
HEARD ME BEFORE. I LIVE IN
ENGLAND, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
WHERE WE BUILD HOMES WE BUILD
USED TO BE AFFORDABLE HOMES. UM
OUR POLICIES IN THE STATE ARE IN
SOMEWHAT OF A CONFLICT. WE OFTEN
INCENTIVIZED JOB GROWTH, JOB
RETENTION JOB EXPANSION IN THE
URBAN COASTAL AREAS WHERE THAT'S
WHERE JOBS HISTORICALLY HAVE
BEEN. AND WE TELL THE INLAND
PARTS OF THE STATE THROUGH THE
REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS
ASSESSMENT PROCESS TO BUILD
HOUSING. IN THIS CASE OF THE
CITY OF RIVERSIDE, THE ARENA
ALLOCATION IS 18,000 HOMES. WE
TELL THE INLAND PARTS TO BUILD
HOUSING. TO HOUSE THE WORKERS
WHO WORK ON THE COAST IN THE
URBAN AREAS. WE DON'T REQUIRE
THOSE URBAN COASTAL AREAS THAT
ARE GETTING MONEY FOR JOB
EXPANSION, JOB RECRUITMENT
RETENTION TO CERTIFY THAT THEY
WILL, EITHER THEY EITHER HAVE OR
WILL BUILD WORKER HOUSING. WE
USED THE REALLOCATION TO DRIVE
THE HOUSING TO THE INLAND PARTS
OF THE STATE. IN IN IN THE
INLAND PARTS OF THE STATE WHERE
I LIVE, THE TRANSIT DOESN'T WORK
. THE BUS LINES DON'T CAN
CONNECT WHERE THEY CROSS COUNTY
LINES AND YOU CANNOT TAKE THE
BUS TO GET FROM YOUR HOME TO
YOUR JOB EFFICIENTLY AND
EFFECTIVELY. IT WOULD PROBABLY
TAKE FOUR OR FIVE HOURS TO GET
FROM PLACES IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY,
TWO JOBS AND ORANGE COUNTY OR IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY. THE TRAIN
DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THE TRAIN.
THE PASSENGER TRAINS USE THE
FREIGHT LINES AND SO THE TRAIN
SERVICES NOT AS FREQUENT AS IT
SHOULD BE. AND YOU CERTAINLY
CAN'T GET BACK MIDDAY. IF YOUR
CHILD GETS SICK, OR YOU HAVE TO
GET HOME FOR SOME OTHER REASON.
SO OUR POLICIES DON'T WORK. WE
CAN'T SEEM TO GET THEM CONNECTED
WITH THIS VEHICLE. MILES
TRAVELED. I WILL GIVE YOU A
RECENT EXAMPLE OF A HIGHWAY
EXPANSION PROJECT IN RIVERSIDE
COUNTY, THE 91 TO 15. IT WAS AN
EXPANSION PROJECT THAT WAS
MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED.
AND THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
AGENCIES ARE CTC AND THE ONE IN
DECEMBER, LATINO COUNTY WHEN IT
WENT BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION TO GET
AN ALLOCATION OF 200 PLUS
MILLION DOLLAR ALLOCATION OF
THAT PREVIOUSLY APPROVED
CONSTRUCTION MONEY, AND THE
REQUEST WAS DENIED. IT WAS
DENIED BECAUSE THE PROJECT
INCREASES VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED
. WELL, OF COURSE IT INCREASES
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED WHEN YOU
DIRECT THE HOUSING BE BUILT AND
THE JOBS AROUND THE COAST, EVERY
HOUSE YOU BUILD WILL INCREASE
VEHICLE MILES TRAVELED NOW I
WILL TELL YOU THAT
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION WISELY
RECONSIDERED THAT DECISION, AND
I BELIEVE IT WAS JUST LAST WEEK.
TOWARD THE END. THEY APPROVED
THAT PROJECT. BUT THE INITIAL
OUTCOME WAS OUTRAGEOUS. YOU YOUR
POLICIES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA MUST INTEGRATE AND
THEY MUST WORK. AND IN THIS
CASE, THEY OBVIOUSLY DON'T I
SUGGEST THAT WE GIVE THE SENATOR
FROM THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND I
VOTE ON THIS BILL. IT'S A GOOD
BILL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK
YOU, SENATOR ROTH. FOR THOSE
BRIEF REMARKS, SENATOR DOLLY.
THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. MEMBERS
I ACTUALLY VOTED FOR THE BILL IN
COMMITTEE AND MY DISTRIBUTE AS
EVERYBODY KNOWS, IS THE LARGEST
DISTRICT IN THE STATE AND
VEHICLE. MILES TRAVELED
PENALIZES US. NUMBER ONE. WE
HAVE TO TRAVEL NUMBER TWO. WE
DON'T HAVE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
THAT WORKS, UM WITH VERY
SPRAWLED OUT COMMUNITIES, BUT
AND THE SAME TIME. UM A LOT A
LOT OF PARTS OF MY DISTRICT,
WHICH ARE HERE IN THE SACRAMENTO
AREA. UM, HAVE CHECK PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION THAT PEOPLE DON'T
USE. SO I'M JUST GOING TO SAY I
NOTICED THAT NO REPUBLICANS HAVE
VOTED FOR THIS BILL. OBVIOUSLY
MY DISTRICT HATES VEHICLE MILES
TRAVELED PERIOD BECAUSE THEY ALL
TRAVEL AND TAXING THOSE MILES OR
NOT HAVING PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION. BUT I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THE BILL BECAUSE HAVE A
COUPLE OF REASONS. NUMBER ONE. I
THINK THAT WE'VE GOT IT WRONG
WHEN PEOPLE AREN'T USING OUR
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, AND WE'RE
SAYING THEY ARE AND WE'RE MAKING
IT MAKING DECISIONS ON THAT. AT
THE SAME TIME, WE'RE PUTTING
MORE PEOPLE ON THE ROAD TO GET
TO THEIR WORK IN AFFORDABLE
AREAS, SO I HAVE APPLAUD THE
AUTHOR FOR TAKING ON A VERY
DIFFICULT ISSUE. UM BUT WE NEED
THAT INFORMATION. IF WE'RE
REALLY GONNA DO IT, RIGHT. WE
NEED TO GET GOOD INFORMATION AND
FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE REALLY
DOING. AND IT'S CONTRARY TO WHAT
THE LEGISLATURE HAS BEEN. TRYING
TO PUSH THEM TO DO AND WE'RE
HAVING THESE CONFLICTS. SO I'M
GOING TO VOTE FOR THE BILL. I'M
HOPING SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES ON
MY SIDE OF THE AISLE WILL
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS GOOD WILL
BE GOOD INFORMATION TO MAKE GOOD
DECISIONS IN THE FUTURE ON WHAT
PEOPLE ARE REALLY DOING IT
REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE WANT THEM
TO DO. THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT FOR THOSE REASONS.
I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL
AGAIN TODAY. THANK YOU, SENATOR
DOLLY ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION.
SCENE NINE. SENATOR CABALLERO,
YOU MAY CLOSE. THANK YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR JOINING ME IN
URGING SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. YOU
KNOW, UM ULTIMATELY, WHAT WE
NEED TO DO IS MAKE OUR POLICIES
MAKE SENSE. AND AS I WAS LOOKING
AROUND, UM AND IT URGENTLY
IMPLORING THE COASTAL REGIONS TO
SUPPORT THIS THIS BILL, UM THAT
THE ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH ARE WE
GOING TO GO BEYOND WHAT WE'RE
DOING RIGHT NOW AND CREATE A
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT WILL
MOVE CALIFORNIANS TO WHEREVER
THEY WANT TO GO. AND RIGHT NOW,
ALL OF OUR POLICIES REALLY LIMIT
OUR TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES FROM
REACHING OUT INTO THE INTO NEW
REGIONS AND CREATING
PARTNERSHIPS AND MY HOPE OUT OF
THIS STUDY. BILL IS IT WILL COME
UP WITH A HORSE HOST OF THINGS
THAT IF THIS IS HAPPENING IN
YOUR COUNTY, YOU DON'T HAVE THE
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION THERE ARE
THERE. IT'S A JOB. POOR AREA.
THE MONEY THAT THE STATE IS
PUTTING OUT FOR JOB CREATION IS
GOING TO, UM, AREAS THAT ARE NOT
PRODUCING THE HOUSING. IF WE CAN
GET ALL OF THIS DATA GET
TOGETHER, WE CAN MAKE IT MAKE
SENSE IN A WAY THAT HELPS US TO
BUILD HOUSING HELPS US TO MOVE
PEOPLE, UM ALL OVER THE STATE.
AND WITH THAT, I WOULD RESPECT
REALLY. AS FOR YOUR I VOTE
DEBATE HAVE BEING SEATS.

THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT. I RISE

CIVIL ASSET FORFEITURE PROCESS
CURRENTLY APPLICABLE TO
UNLICENSED MANUFACTURING OF
ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. THIS WOULD
APPLY TO UNLICENSED COMMERCIAL
CANNABIS ACTIVITIES WITH MORE
THAN 1000 LIVE PLANTS UPON A
JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF THE
FORFEITURE UNDER SB 820, THE
SEIZED PROPERTY WOULD BE SOLD AT
PUBLIC AUCTION. WITH 85% OF THE
PROCEEDS GOING TO A REINVESTMENT
OF THE CANNABIS CONTROL FUND TO
SUPPORT CANNABIS EQUITY
BUSINESSES. QUESTIONS FROM MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE COME OUT. SO
CLAIRE EFFORT TO CLARIFY THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE THAT A
WARRANT ISSUED BY A JUDGE UPON
PROBABLE CAUSE BE OBTAINED
BEFORE ANY PROPERTY CAN BE
SEIZED UNDER THE BILL. THIS ALSO
CREATES A VERY SPECIFIC LIST OF
ITEMS USED IN UNLICENSED
CANNABIS OPERATIONS THAT WILL BE
INCLUDED IN THE SEIZURE. IT DOES
PROHIBIT THE SEIZURE OF VEHICLES
CARRYING CANNABIS OR CANNABIS
PRODUCTS VALUED AT LESS THAN
5000, AS WELL AS CLARIFICATION
THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE REAL
PROPERTY UNDER THE SEIZURE. I

THANK YOU, PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES. I'M PLEASED TO
PRESENT SB SEVEN, WHICH WILL
CLARIFY EXISTING STATUTES
REGARDING REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS REPORTING OF
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME HOUSING
PRODUCTION. SB SEVEN WILL
REQUIRE REQUIRE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO REPORT THE
CERTIFICATES OF OCCUPANCY THAT
THEY ISSUE FOR EXTREMELY LOW
INCOME HOUSING CERTIFICATES OF
OCCUPANCY INDICATE THAT
CONSTRUCTION IS COMPLETE, AND
THE UNIT IS READY TO BE
OCCUPIED. SINCE 2017. THE
LEGISLATURE HAS TAKEN MAJOR
STRIDES TO HOLD LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
INCREASING HOUSING PRODUCTION.
WHILE TRACKING OF LOCALS.
HOUSING PRODUCTION IS ROBUST.
THERE IS A NEED TO ENHANCE
TRACKING OF THE TYPE OF HOUSING
PRODUCTION THAT CALIFORNIA'S
MOST URGENTLY NEED. SB SEVEN
WILL ADDRESS THIS NEED. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU, SENATOR BLAKE SPIRIT,

DESK. SECRETARY. PLEASE READ THE
AMENDMENTS. AMENDMENT BY SENATOR
DELI SET ONE. SENATOR DOLLY THE
FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU. I
RISE TODAY TO OFFER AN AMENDMENT
TO SP SEVEN. WE MUST STOP THE
DANGEROUS PRACTICE OF RELEASING
SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORS INTO
OUR COMMUNITIES ON TRANSIENT
STATUS. THIS PRACTICE IS
UNCOMFORTABLE AND DANGEROUS,
ACCORDING TO LIBERTY HEALTHCARE
75. OF SEXUALLY, UH. VIOLENT
PREDATORS RELEASED ON TRANSIT
STUDIES FAILED TO TRANSITION
SUCCESSFULLY AND WE'RE RE
HOSPITALIST OR REVOKED DUE TO
SERIOUS VIOLATIONS. WE KNOW THAT
DANGEROUS WE KNOW THE DANGERS OF
THESE PREDATORS POSE WE CAN AND
MUST DO BETTER INSTEAD OF GIVING
THEM AN RV AND JUST DUMPING THEM
IN THE COMMUNITY IF THE OFFENDER
CANNOT BE PLACED IN A RESIDENT
HOUSE, THEN ON STATE, WE SHOULD
HOUSE THEM ON STATE PROPERTY
WHERE THAT STATE PERSONNEL CAN
CLOSELY MONITOR THEM. LIBERTY
HEALTHCARE HAS TESTIFIED THAT IS
EASIER TO MONITOR THE OFFENDERS.
IN A FIXED RESIDENTS WITH
HARDWIRE PHONE AND INTERNET
SEXUALLY VIOLENT PREDATORS
AREN'T YOUR AVERAGE FELONS.
WHILE THERE ARE GREAT NUMBER IN
NUMBERS, THEY POSE GREATER THAN
AVERAGE RISK OF REOFFENDING. THE
STATE'S OBLIGATION IS TO
MINIMIZE THAT RISK. I KNOW THAT
MY DEMOCRAT COLLEAGUES LIKE
LIKELY WILL TABLE THIS MOTION
WITHOUT DEBATE. THAT THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENS IN THE SAME AMENDMENT
LAST YEAR BY VOTING TO TABLE
THIS MOTION. YOU ARE VOTING TO
REJECT CONSIDERATION OF THIS
MEASURE. I SAY THIS TO YOU, MY
COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE. THIS IS A GROWING
PROBLEM. AT LEAST LET'S DEBATE
THE ISSUE SO CALIFORNIANS CAN
SEE WHERE WE STAND ON PROTECTING
THE PEOPLE IN THE IN OUR

THREAT. MEMBERS I'VE HAD MANY OF

YOU, MR PRESIDENT AND
COLLEAGUES, UM, PRESENTING SP
379 THE ACCOUNTABILITY LETTER
BANK. THE GENESIS. THIS BILL WAS
A VISIT TO DONOVAN STATE
CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES. SEVERAL
SEVERAL OF YOU WERE THERE AND
MEETING WITH VARIOUS FOLKS ARE
INCARCERATED. SOME OF THOSE
INDIVIDUALS HAD INTERACTED WITH
THEIR VICTIMS AND FOUND IT TO BE
A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, BOTH FOR
THE VICTIMS AS WELL AS FOR THOSE
WHO ARE INCARCERATED. HOWEVER
SOME WISH TO CONTACT THEIR
VICTIMS AND, UNDERSTANDABLY,
THERE'S NO METHOD TO DO SO. UM
AND IN FACT, SOME VICTIMS DON'T
WISH TO HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH
THOSE WHO ARE THE PERPETRATORS
OF THE CRIMES THAT CREATED THEM
AS VICTIMS. THE PURPOSE OF THIS
BILL IS THE BASICALLY CREATE AN
ESCROW OR A BANK WHERE SOMEONE
WHO WAS INCARCERATED CAN SUBMIT
A COMMUNICATION CAN SUBMIT A

TO FILE ITEM 26 SB 733, THE
CLERK WILL READ. SENATE BILL 733
BY SENATOR GLASER IN AQUITAINE
TO CORRECTIONS CENTER GLASER.
THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT
MEMBERS. MEMBERS. WE'VE HAD
CONSIDERABLE DEBATE ON THIS
FLOOR ABOUT SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT. AND FOR GOOD
REASON. IT'S A SYSTEM THAT MANY
OF US FROM WHATEVER PERSPECTIVE,
I THINK FEEL IS BROKEN. AND NOT
WORKING THE WAY IT SHOULD. THE
MEASURE BEFORE YOU THE HEART OF
THE CHALLENGE AND DECIDING AND
VOTING ON THESE NUMEROUS REFORMS
TO THIS AREA IS THAT WE'RE
REALLY LACKING IN DATA. ABOUT
WHO GOES TO SOLITARY FOR HOW
LONG? HOW MANY TIMES FOR WHAT
REASON, AND THAT WHEN YOU ASKED
THE ADMINISTRATION TO PROVIDE
THAT FACTUAL DATA SO WE COULD
MAKE GOOD CHOICES AS
POLICYMAKERS, UH, WE DON'T GET
THE INFORMATION BACK. FOR A
VARIETY OF REASONS, BUT AT THE
END OF THE DAY, THEY'RE NOT
GIVING US THE INFORMATION FOR US
TO MAKE THE CHANGES THAT MANY ON
THIS FLOOR THINK ARE NECESSARY.
THE BILL BEFORE YOU IS ONLY A
DATA BILL. IT ONLY REQUESTS THAT
THE ADMINISTRATION PROVIDE THE
INFORMATION AND THE DATA THAT I
NOTED EARLIER WHO'S BEING SENT
TO SOLITARY? HOW LONG ARE THEY
BEING KEPT THERE? HOW OFTEN
UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES ARE
THEY BEING SENT TO SOLITARY?
AND, OF COURSE WHY IT'S
JUSTIFIED ALONG WITH A NUMBER OF
OTHER DATA REQUESTS ABOUT THEIR
ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE TO MENTAL
HEALTH CARE TO REHABILITATION.
Tð RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
SO THE BILL BEFORE YOU IS NOT
THE REFORM THAT MANY PEOPLE
WOULD LIKE TO SEE US DO. BUT IT
IS SETTING A FOUNDATION FOR
THOSE CHOICES THAT YOU MAY WISH
TO MAKE TODAY TOMORROW NEXT YEAR
THIS YEAR OR NEXT YEAR WITHOUT A
RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR MY VOTE.
SEEING NO MICROPHONES UP THIS
SINNER SINCE SKINNER YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT MEMBERS. AYE. I'M NOT
IN FAVOR OF THE BILL, AND THE
REASON IS THAT I THINK THAT IT'S
A MISTAKE FOR THE LEGISLATURE TO
BEGIN IN A POSITION WHERE WE PUT
INTO STATUTE REQUESTS FOR
INFORMATION FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION. ONCE WE START
THAT. ROUTE THEN WE'VE PRETTY
MUCH SAID THAT WE PRETTY MUCH
HAVE TO PASS A BILL IN ORDER TO
GET INFORMATION THAT IS
LEGITIMATELY OURS TO REQUEST.
NOW. I'M NOT AWARE YET. I AM NOT
QUESTIONING THE AUTHOR IN TERMS
OF HE MAY HAVE REQUESTED THAT
DATA. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER ANY
OF OUR COMMITTEES SAY PUBLIC
SAFETY OR BUDGET COMMITTEE HAVE.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER WE'VE BEEN
REFUSED, BUT I'M VERY HESITANT
TO PUT INTO STATUTE SOMETHING
THAT SAYS, UH, DEPARTMENT YOU
MUST GIVE US INFORMATION BECAUSE
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WHEN WE
ARE TRYING TO ANALYZE, UH,
POLICIES OR BUDGETARY ACTIONS WE
DESERVE. UM SO THAT IS WHY I
WILL NOT BE VOTING IN SUPPORT.
THANK YOU AND THE OTHER MEMBERS
WISHING TO SPEAK SEEING NONE.
CENTER GLASER, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? LOOK, I WISH THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION BE RESPONSIVE TO
OUR REQUESTS. UM. MEMBERS AT
LEAST SOME OF THE MEMBERS THAT
WEREN'T RECENTLY ELECTED. NO.
WE'VE HAD SPIRITED DEBATES ON
THIS ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME. AND
YET, WHERE ARE THE WHERE IS THE
FACTUAL BASIS FOR DECIDING
WHETHER OR NOT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS RUNNING OUR
CORRECTIONS AGENCY
APPROPRIATELY? SO IN A IN A
PERFECT WORLD, WE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO. REQUESTS AND DEMAND IN
LEGISLATION LIKE THIS, BUT IT
UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF US
AS POLICY MAKERS MAKING GOOD
CHOICES WITH REAL DATA AND
INFORMATION. I THINK THAT, AS I
SAID IN MY OPENING SEGREGATED
HOUSING. AS IT'S. IT'S AS IT'S
REFERRED TO UM, IS A SERIOUS
PENALTY ON SOMEONE IN OUR. IN
OUR PRISONS. SOMETIMES IT'S DONE
FOR THEIR SAFETY. SOMETIMES IT'S
DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF OTHERS,
BOTH INMATES AS WELL AS
CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS, BUT WE
NEED TO HAVE A SHINING LIGHT ON
THE ON THE ON ON EXACTLY HOW
THEY'RE RUNNING THESE
INSTITUTIONS, AND THAT'S THE
PURPOSE OF THE BILL. THAT'S WHAT
THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOCUSED ON IT
WITH THAT RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR
MY VOTE. THANK YOU AND I'LL

SENSIBILITIES 75 BY SENATOR
GLASER INEQUITY INTO HEALTH AND
CARE FACILITIES. GLASER YOUR
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
PRESIDENT. MANY OF US KNOW. I
CAN IMAGINE HOW STRESSFUL IT IS
TO NAVIGATE THE PROCESS OF
FINDING A SAFE SETTING FOR AN
AGING FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND
WHO NEEDS PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT.
REFERRAL AGENCIES ARE OFTEN USED
FOR THAT PURPOSE TO HELP
FAMILIES MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.
THEY DO THAT BY LEARNING ABOUT A
SENIORS NEEDS AND THEN
CONNECTING THEM WITH A
RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITY THAT
HAS ROOMS OPEN AND IN SOME CASES
QUICKLY. HOWEVER CURRENT LAW
ONLY MINIMALLY REGULATES
REFERRAL AGENCIES. AND THIS BILL
ADDRESSES TWO ELEMENTS TO RAISE
THE BAR ON WHAT IS GOING ON
TODAY. NUMBER ONE. IT CREATES A
DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT THAT
DOESN'T EXIST TODAY. YOU HAVE TO
DISCLOSE UNDER THIS LEGISLATION.
UM WHETHER, UH, THAT YOU HAVE TO
GIVE CONSUMERS AND DISCLOSURE,
BUT YOU HAVE TO YEAH. EXCUSE ME.
LET ME SAY THIS AGAIN. THE
MEASURE WILL BAN CERTAIN
PRACTICES LIKE REFERRAL AGENCIES
FROM HAVING ANY DIRECT OR
INDIRECT FINANCIAL INTEREST IN
ANY MEDICAL FACILITY DOING
BUSINESS WITH THE LICENSEE. AH!
THERE ARE SOME OTHER DISCLOSURE
REQUIREMENTS IN THE BILL, BUT
THE OTHER ELEMENT OF THE BILL IS
A LICENSING REQUIREMENT THAT
DOESN'T EXIST TODAY. IT CREATES
A LICENSING REQUIREMENT FOR
REFERRAL AGENCIES. NOW THERE ARE
SOME WHO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
BILL WHO FEEL THAT THE LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS SHOULD BE MUCH MORE
EXTENSIVE THAN WHAT IS IN THE
BILL TODAY, AND I'VE COMMITTED
TO WORKING WITH THOSE UH, THOSE
ENTITIES TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE
THEM MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE
LICENSING REQUIREMENT, BUT THE
MAIN OBJECTION IS THEY WANT TO

SCHEMES SO THAT THERE CAN BE
GREATER REVIEW OF THESE REFERRAL
