SENATOR GROVE. WELL THIS
MORNING, SB 1043 BY SENATOR
GROVE. SHE IS HERE. WE'RE HAPPY
TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM
CHAIR. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
CHAIR FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT
THIS BILL. IT'S ONE OF OUR
CHILDREN'S PROTECTION PACKAGES
THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF JOINT
AUTHORS ON FROM OUR SENATE
COLLEAGUES. AND SO I DO THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT TODAY. I'M HERE TO
PRESENT SB 1043, THE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND CHILDREN'S
TREATMENT ACT, WHICH WOULD
CREATE MORE TRANSPARENCY
SURROUNDING THE USE OF
RESTRAINTS AND SECLUSION ROOMS
IN SHORT TERM RESIDENTIAL
THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS, ALSO KNOWN
AS STRIP OPS. SOME OF
CALIFORNIA'S MOST VULNERABLE
CHILDREN ARE HOUSED IN THESE
STRIPS, INCLUDING FOSTER YOUTH
WHO HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY
SEXUALLY EXPLOITED WITH THIS
KNOWLEDGE, WE MUST REQUIRE THE
HIGHEST LEVEL OF TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE CARE
FOR THESE VULNERABLE. THIS
VULNERABLE POPULATION. THÀNH SB
1043 IS A SIMPLE TRANSPARENCY
MEASURE WHICH WILL REQUIRE DSS
TO PROVIDE PUBLIC A PUBLIC
DASHBOARD BY JANUARY 1ST, 2026
THAT DISPLAYS THE DATA AND USE
OF RESTRAINTS AND SECLUSION
ROOMS IN STRIPS. THIS DATA WILL
INCLUDE THE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS
WHEN RESTRAINTS AND SECLUSION
WERE USED, THE DURATION OF TIME
AND IF THERE WERE ANY INJURIES
OR DEATHS. ALONG WITH OTHER
NECESSARY DATA. THIS IS ALL DATA
THAT THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES IS ALREADY
REQUIRED UNDER STATUTE TO
COLLECT AND MAINTAIN. CURRENTLY
STRIPS ARE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE A
DEBRIEF TO PATIENTS ANY TIME.
RESTRAINT. ANY TIME RESTRAINTS
OR SECLUSION ARE USED. SB 1043
WILL REQUIRE DSS TO INCLUDE ON
THE DASHBOARD A WRITTEN
DESCRIPTION OF THOSE DEBRIEFS,
INCLUDING THE IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION, EXCUSE ME,
EXCLUDING THE IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION OF ALL THOSE
INVOLVED, THE DEPARTMENT OF
SOCIAL SERVICES HAS BEEN
INSTRUCTED THROUGH STATUTE.
AGAIN, IT'S ALREADY LAW TO MAKE
THE RESTRAINT AND SECLUSION USE
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH THEY'RE
REQUIRED TO COLLECT AND MAINTAIN
THE DATA, THEY HAVE FAILED TO
MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC
FOR THE LAST SEVEN YEARS. SINCE
THE CREATION OF STRIPS.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE PUBLIC
DASHBOARD WASN'T CREATED WHEN WE
HAD A BUDGET SURPLUS, AND NOW
THAT WE HAD A WE HAVE A BUDGET
DEFICIT. I DON'T WANT THAT TO BE
THE CONTINUED REASONS OF WHY
WE'RE NOT IMPLEMENTING THIS VERY
IMPORTANT POLICY. THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN UNDER THE
STATE'S CARE SHOULD BE OUR TOP
PRIORITY. MY OFFICE HAS
REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR THE COST
ESTIMATE FROM THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES TO
FIND OUT HOW MUCH THE DASHBOARD
WOULD COST TO IMPLEMENT.
HOWEVER, WE WERE NOT PROVIDED
THIS INFORMATION UNTIL LATE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. I LOOK FORWARD
TO SITTING DOWN WITH DSS AND
FINDING OUT IF THERE ARE ANY
COST SAVINGS AND MEASURES THAT
WE CAN IMPLEMENT IN ORDER TO
HELP REDUCE THIS UNBELIEVABLY
HIGH ESTIMATE OF $1.7 MILLION
FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION AND $1.6
MILLION ANNUALLY FOR MAINTENANCE
, IT SEEMS INCREDIBLY HIGH AS AN
ESTIMATE FOR DSS, SINCE THEY'RE
ALREADY REQUIRED TO COLLECT THE
INFORMATION. DSS HAS STATED THAT
THEY WILL NEED THE FUNDS TO
SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT, QUOTE,
DEVELOPMENT AND CONTINUOUS
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT OF THE DATA
COLLECTING METHODOLOGY TO
PERFORM DATA ANALYSIS AND
REPORTING AND RESPOND TO A
PUBLIC RECORDS ACT OR PRA
REQUEST REGARDING DATA AND THE
PUBLIC DASHBOARD, AS WELL AS
COLLECT DATA FOR REPORTING AND
MANUAL RESTRAINT. USE DIRECTLY
FROM THE FACILITIES MEMBERS.
AGAIN, DSS IS ALREADY REQUIRED
TO BE COLLECTING AND MAINTAINING
THIS DATA. I'M INCREDIBLY
CONCERNED THAT THEY WOULD
REQUIRE ADDITIONAL STAFF
POSITIONS TO PERFORM THESE
DUTIES. THEY SHOULD ALREADY BE
FULFILLING REQUIRED BY CURRENT
LAW. DASHBOARDS ARE CREATED
THROUGH OTHER STATE AGENCIES.
HAVE MUCH LOWER COST ASSOCIATED
WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION AND
MAINTENANCE. I WOULD ENCOURAGE
THE DEPARTMENT TO SEEK OUT
SUPPORT FROM THOSE OTHER
AGENCIES, WHICH I'D BE GLAD TO
PROVIDE TO THEM SO THAT THEY
COULD LEARN HOW TO LOWER THEIR
COST. ASSOCIATED WITH
IMPLEMENTING THE DASHBOARDS,
SUCH AS THE ONE REQUIRED UNDER
SB 40 1043 MEMBERS. THIS MEASURE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND CHILDREN'S
TREATMENT, OTHER ACCOUNTABILITY
AND CHILDREN'S TREATMENT IS JUST
THAT A SIMPLE TRANSPARENCY
MEASURE. AND WE'RE ASKING DSS TO
ESTABLISH A PUBLIC DASHBOARD IN
ORDER TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS
THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF
TRANSPARENCY AND CARING FOR OUR
MOST VULNERABLE. CALIFORNIA HAS
ALREADY INVESTED MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS BRINGING OUR YOUTH BACK
FROM OTHER STATES WHERE WE KNEW
AND FOUND OUT THAT THEY WERE
ABUSED. WE ACTED IMMEDIATELY,
INVESTED $8 MILLION TO BRING
THEM BACK. WE ARE NOW HOUSING
THEM IN STATE STREET, TPS. WE
ALREADY KNOW ON A DASHBOARD THAT
DSS ALREADY HAS THE COMPLAINTS.
BROKEN ARMS, BROKEN BONES, YOU
KNOW, PEOPLE BEING PUT IN
SECLUSION ROOMS, BUT THEY DON'T
PROVIDE THE INFORMATION OF HOW
LONG THEY DON'T PROVIDE THE
INFORMATION THAT WE'RE ASKING
FOR HERE ON TRANSPARENCY. Kò.
THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THIS BILL
IS TO GET THIS INFORMATION
PROVIDED TO US. SO AS WE AS
POLICY MAKERS, IF WE NEED TO,
INTRODUCE LEGISLATION TO KEEP
THESE CHILDREN SAFE, THEN WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT BASED
ON CORRECT INFORMATION AND DATA.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
, AGAIN, I REALIZE THAT BECAUSE
OF THE COST ESTIMATES, IT'S
GOING TO GO ON SUSPENSE, BUT I
REALLY DO APPRECIATE THE CHAIR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT THIS
IMPORTANT BILL. WELL, I
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR
PRESENTATION, FOCUSING ON THE
FISCAL ASPECTS OF IT. AND YOU
MAKE SOME REALLY GOOD POINTS
THERE, IT'S WORTH LOOKING AT.
AND I KNOW THAT YOUR PRIORITY
HAS BEEN PROTECTING CHILDREN, SO
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. LET ME
SEE IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE, ANY
QUESTIONS ON THE FISCAL PART OF
IT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THERE
ARE NO QUESTIONS. AND WE'LL TAKE
A LOOK AT IT AND BE IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH YOU. THANK
YOU. MADAM CHAIR. AND JUST
BRIEFLY, ON OTHER AGENCIES, SB
928 REYES OF 2023 WAS CHAPTERED
SIGNED INTO LAW, IT WAS MINOR
COST, REQUIRED THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES TO
CREATE A DASHBOARD. SB 1145
LAYERED 2022 WAS CHAPTERED AGAIN
WITH FOR THE ARB, THE CALIFORNIA
AIR RESOURCES BOARD, AND IT'S
APPROXIMATELY $210,000 FOR AN
INITIALIZED INITIALIZE THE
DASHBOARD AND ONGOING SERVICES.
AND I LOOK AT THE WAY THAT
GOVERNMENT IS RUN ON THE FISCAL
COMPONENT OF IT. AND, YOU KNOW,
WE ALL HAVE A HEAVIER WORKLOAD
IN OUR OFFICES IN APRIL THAN WE
DO IN DECEMBER. AND IT'S HARD
FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT IF WE
REQUIRE OUR ALLEGED DIRECTOR OR
OUR CHIEF OF STAFF OR OUR
SCHEDULER TO GO OUTSIDE OF THEIR
WORK CAPACITY TO DO SOMETHING
THAT WE NEED DONE IN APRIL
BECAUSE OF THE WORKLOAD THAT WE
HAVE, THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO DO THAT.
OUR STAFF JUMPS IN, GETS THE JOB
DONE. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAVE
TO CONTINUALLY FUND ADDITIONAL
TASKS FOR STATE AGENCIES, AS WE
SHOULD PROBABLY LOOK AT THAT AS
A BODY, TOO, BECAUSE I THINK
THAT'S WHERE A LOT OF OUR
EXPENSE COMES IN OUR BUDGET. BUT

JEWISH VOICE FOR PEACE. THIS
BILL USES STATE MONEY TO
EXCEPTIONALIZE THE JEWISH
HOLOCAUST AT THE EXPENSE OF ALL
THE OTHER HOLOCAUSTS THAT ARE
GOING ON, AND THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS COOPERATIVE, WHICH THIS
BILL ENSHRINES, IS BEEN STARTED
BY HOLOCAUST ORGANIZATIONS AND
OF THE 14 MEMBERS OF THIS GROUP,
SEVEN OF THEM, SEVEN OF THEM ARE
JEWISH HOLOCAUST ORGANIZERS,
WHICH MEANS IT WILL BE
IMPOSSIBLE FOR ALL THE OTHER
GENOCIDES, ESPECIALLY THE ONE
GOING ON NOW IN IN GAZA, TO BE
TAUGHT TO OUR STUDENTS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SIR. DANIEL
CHILDS ALSO WITH JEWISH VOICE
FOR PEACE FROM OAKLAND. I AM
JEWISH MYSELF. I ALSO OPPOSE
THIS BILL UNLESS AMENDED. IT'S A
BIASED BILL, FUNDING BIASED
GROUPS AND EDUCATION THAT LEAD
TO RACISM. I MYSELF ONLY LEARNED
ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST GROWING UP.
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE
OTHER GENOCIDES, WHICH IS
HORRIBLE, SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR
THE HOLOCAUST IS NOT OKAY. IT'S
WORKING WITH BIASED GROUPS, AS
MY COLLEAGUE SAID, THAT DON'T
RECOGNIZE THE CURRENT GENOCIDE
OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE
RECOGNIZED BY THE ICJ. AND THESE
GROUPS REPRESENT THE INTERESTS
OF A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT, NOT
ISRAEL, THIS BILL NEEDS TO BE
AMENDED TO TREAT ALL GENOCIDES
THE SAME AND NOT FINANCE BIASED
ORGANIZATIONS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. AGAIN, IF YOU
COULD SPEAK TO THE FISCAL
ASPECTS OF IT, THAT WOULD BE
GREAT, JASMINE BURKE, ACTIVIST
FROM OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA. I
STAND IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL
AS IT IS CURRENTLY WRITTEN. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT IT BE
AMENDED TO INCLUDE EDUCATION
AROUND THE UNITED NATIONS,
INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE
GENOCIDE CONVENTION, AND BE
NEUTRAL BY NOT PLACING ANY
EMPHASIS ON ANY GENOCIDE IN
PARTICULAR. THANK YOU. I'M CLYDE
LELAND FROM JEWISH VOICE FOR
PEACE IN BERKELEY. AND I'M
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL BECAUSE BY
FUNDING THIS BILL, WE ARE
ACTUALLY PROMOTING A CERTAIN
DEGREE OF ANTI-SEMITISM BY
PRIORITIZING THE JEWISH
HOLOCAUST OVER ALL THE OTHER
GENOCIDE THAT HAS HAPPENED OVER
HISTORY AND THE ONE THAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, WHICH
CAUSES PEOPLE TO RESENT THE
JEWISH PEOPLE AND THE INFLUENCE
THAT THEY HAVE. AND SO I AM
CALLING FOR THIS TO BE AMENDED
SO THAT MONEY IS NOT SPENT TO
MIS EDUCATE OUR YOUTH. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MARIE
HOFF WITH JEWISH VOICE FOR PEACE
, SHASTA COUNTY I'M HERE TO
ENCOURAGE, THE AMENDING OF THIS
TO REFLECT A MORE ACCURATE,
RENDERING OF WHAT CONSTITUTES
GENOCIDE IN ORDER TO PROPERLY,
PUT OUR FUNDING TOWARDS A VIEW
OF GENOCIDE THAT IS JUST MORE
INCLUSIVE AND IS MORE ACCURATE,
AND THAT'S A MORE APPROPRIATE
USE OF FUNDING, IN MY OPINION.
