WE'RE GONNA START TODAY'S ROBIN
TAX COMMITTEE HEARING AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE FIRST I WOULD LIKE
TO WELCOME ASSEMBLY MEMBER
VOEPEL TO THE COMEDIAN.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
WE HAVE THE ABSENCE OF A QUORUM
BUT WE ARE GOING TO START WITH
ITEM NUMBER NINE.
AB THIRTY ONE FIFTY TWO.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
COLLEAGUES AB ONE THIRD AB
THIRTY ONE FIFTY TWO WOULD GIVE.
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR
RENTAL HOUSING UNITS DESIGNED
FOR MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE SO CALLED
MISSING MIDDLE AYE IN HIGH COST
PARTS
STATE.
I THINK MANY OF YOU ARE VERY
FAMILIAR WITH THAT STATE HOUSING
CRISIS THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW
AND THIS IS A BILL TO ADDRESS
THE PLIGHT OF MODERATE INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS IN THE SO CALLED
MISSING MIDDLE. POOR IN A TOUGH
SPOT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HOUSEHOLDS
WHO ARE OF MODERN INCOME UNABLE
TO AFFORD MARKET RATE HOUSING
BUT WHO EARN TOO MUCH TO QUALIFY
FOR SUBSIDIZED. LOW INCOME
AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
AMONG OTHERS THE MISSING MIDDLE
INCLUDES TEACHERS FIREFIGHTERS
AND EMERGENCY RESPONDERS
HEALTHCARE CHILDCARE OR RETAIL
WORKERS WHO ARE ALL CRITICAL TO
OUR COMMUNITIES THERE OFTEN
COMMUNITY EXHAUSTING HOURS IN
GRIDLOCK TRAFFIC EVERY WEEK.
FROM THE LOWER COST AREAS TO
HIGH COST JOBCENTRE.
THE BILL WOULD PROVIDE A
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION TO
NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS TO BUILD
RENTAL HOUSING FOR MODERATE
INCOME HOUSING. DEFINED AS THOSE
MAKING BETWEEN EIGHTY AND A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY PERCENT AM I.
THE SAVINGS FROM THE PROPERTY
TAX EXEMPTION TO NONPROFIT
DEVELOPERS WOULD BE USED TO
REDUCE RENTS TO MODERATE INCOME
LEVELS. DEVELOPERS WOULD ONLY BE
ABLE TO CHARGE TENANTS THIRTY
PERCENT OF THEIR HOUSEHOLD
INCOME FOR RENT.
AND IN ADDITION THE RATE OF RED
WOULD BE AT LEAST TEN PERCENT
BELOW THE FAIR MARKET RENT. AS
DETERMINED BY HIDE AND A
RENTS ARE ALREADY LOW BECAUSE
THEIR SET EVERY FIVE YEARS AND
DO NOT REFLECT CURRENT MARKET
CONDITIONS.
THIS BILL WOULD NOT TAKE AWAY
RESOURCES FROM LOWER INCOME
UNITS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD
RECEIVE FEDERAL AND STATE
FUNDING.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE ARE AND THE CHAIR FOR
SUGGESTING A NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS TO THIS BILL.
AT THIS TIME ARE UNPREPARED TO
TAKE AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD LIMIT
THE EXEMPTION TO NEW MULTI
FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.
ALSO THE EXEMPTION THAT WOULD BE
LIMITING TO MULTI FAMILY HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS A WOULD ALSO
INCLUDE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF
UNITS.
I AND I AM ALSO PREPARED TO
ACCEPT AN AMENDMENT THAT WOULD
NOT ALLOW THE LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP TO ENTER INTO WHAT
IS KNOWN AS QUOTE. OTHER LEGAL
DOCUMENTS TO SELF IMPOSED WENT
OCCUPANCY RESTRICTIONS.
RATHER THAN MARRYING THE
LANGUAGE IN THE EXEMPTION FOR
LOW INCOME UNITS. ONE ALSO TAKE
A MOMENT TO THANK THE CHAIR FOR
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS AND I KNOW
NOW THAT THERE IS INTEREST AND
THINKING ABOUT HOW. THIS BILL
MIGHT BE SUNSET ED IN THE LONG
HAUL SO THAT THERE IS A LONG
TERM LIMITATION ON THE VALUE OF
THE EXEMPTION OVER TIME.
WE JUST HAD A CONVERSATION
ABOUT IT AN HOUR AGO A I'M HAPPY
TO WORK ON THIS I'M VERY OPEN TO
THIS.
HOPEFULLY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
TIME TO FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS
BUT I DO THINK THAT IS
APPROPRIATE FOR NEW POLICY.
MOVING FORWARD AGAIN TO ADDRESS
THE CONCERNS RAISED BY THE CHAIR
OF THE COMMITTEE. AND DEALT WITH
THAT.
LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO OUR OUR
SUPPORTERS AND SPONSORS ARE
STARTING FIRST WITH THE
CALIFORNIA HOUSING CONSORTIUM
AND MARINA WHITE.
THINK YEAR OLD GOOD AFTERNOON
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS MARINO
WENT CALIFORNIA HOUSING
CONSORTIUM WE ARE IN A NON
PARTISAN ADVOCATE FOR THE
PRODUCTION PRESERVATION OF LOW
AND MODERATE INCOME HOUSING.
REPRESENTING THE BUILDING
DEVELOPMENT FINANCE ON PUBLIC
SECTORS UNITED IN THEIR GOAL
THAT EVERY CALIFORNIA HAVE A
SAFE AFFORDABLE PLACE TO CALL
HOME. LAST YEAR I LEGISLATURE
STEPPED UP TO INVEST IN THE
TOOLS IN FUNDING. TO START
ADDRESSING OUR HOUSING CRISIS
BUT THERE'S SO MUCH WORK AHEAD
TO KEEP.
STRUGGLING CALIFORNIANS AND
AFFORDABLE HOMES AS MANY OF YOU
NOTED OVER THE PAST YEAR THE
HOUSING CRISIS IS SO SEVERE THAT
MIDDLE CLASS FAMILIES. ON THE
WORKING PROFESSIONALS THAT
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CHIU MENTIONED A
MOMENT AGO ARE STRUGGLING TO
AFFORD HOUSING AND AB THIRTY ONE
FIFTY TWO IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL
TO INCENTIVIZE THE PRODUCTION OF
NEW RENTAL HOUSING UNITS. IN
HIGH COST AREAS SO THAT OUR
SEATS VITAL MISSING METAL CAN
AFFORD TO LIVE IN THE
COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY WORK.
EXISTING PROPERTY ALREADY ALLOWS
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
TO QUALIFY FOR WELFARE EXEMPTION
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN THE
AFFORDABILITY OF HOUSING UNITS
OCCUPIED FOR A LOWER INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS.
AND AB THIRTY ONE FIFTY TO
CREATE A SIMILAR EXEMPTION FOR
RENTAL HOUSING UNITS THAT
RESTRICT RENTS A THIRTY PERCENT
OF MODERATE INCOME HOUSEHOLDS.
THAT IS HOUSEHOLDS WITH INCOMES
BETWEEN EIGHTY AND HUNDRED
TWENTY PERCENT OF THE AREA
MEDIAN TIME SO LONG AS THOSE
UNITS ARE IN THE HIGH COST
COUNTIES AND THE RENTS ARE IS
STILL AT LEAST TEN PERCENT
BELOW.
MARKET RATES IN THE GOAL HERE IS
TO ENSURE THAT ANY PROPERTY TAX
REDUCTION IS BEING USED TO
MAINTAIN THE AFFORDABILITY OF
THOSE UNITS.
WITHOUT THIS TOOL TO BE VERY
DIFFICULT FOR MODERATE INCOME
HOUSING UNITS TO BE PRODUCED AT
THE MARKET AND I URGE YOUR AYE
VOTE TODAY.
AND GOOD AFTERNOON.
CHAIR BURKE AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS MY NAME IS AMY CHAN AND
I'M HERE REPRESENTING THE SAN
FRANCISCO MAYOR'S OFFICE OF
HOUSING. AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT AND ON BEHALF OF OUR
OFFICE AND WE WANT EXPRESSED
STRONG SUPPORT FOR A BI THIRTY
ONE FIFTY TWO AND THANK ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CHIU FOR HIS LEADERSHIP
ON THIS ISSUE. AND THERE'S A
GREAT NEED FOR MODERATE MIDDLE
INCOME FAMILIES I AM TO STAY IN
CITIES LIKE SAN FRANCISCO. THEY
MAKE UP A VERY DIVERSE SET OF
OUR WORK FORCE AND AS THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER HAS MENTIONED
THEY ARE TEACHERS. ARE SOCIAL
WORKERS ARE FIREFIGHTERS AND YET
HIGH COST CITIES ARE NOT MEETING
THE NEED TO HOUSE MODERATE
INCOME FAMILIES BETWEEN EIGHTY
TO HUNDRED TWENTY PERCENT OF ON
THE AREA MEDIAN INCOME. IN SAN
FRANCISCO WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS
THE MARKET IS SERVING REALLY
HOUSEHOLDS AND A HUNDRED AND
FIFTY PERCENT OF AND MY AND
ABOVE. WHAT THAT MEANS IN TERMS
OF RENTS ARE AN AVERAGE TWO
BEDROOM HAS BEEN AS HIGH AS
FORTY TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A
MONTH? WEARS A FAMILY OF THREE
MAKING EIGHTY PERCENT OF AM I
CAN ONLY AFFORD TO PAY TWO
THOUSAND AND SEVENTY FIVE
DOLLARS A MONTH. OR FAMILY OF
THREE MAKING HUNDRED AND TWENTY
PERCENT OF AM I CAN ONLY AFFORD
TO PAY THIRTY ONE HUNDRED
DOLLARS A MONTH. THAT LEAVES A
HUGE AFFORDABLE AFFORDABILITY
CAP FOR OUR MODERATE INCOME
FAMILIES ON AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE
SEEING OVER THE LAST FEW DECADES
A STEADY DECLINE AND MODERATE
INCOME.
HOUSEHOLDS ON LEAVING THE CITY
AND WHAT WE'RE ALSO SEEING IS
TEACHERS LEAVING OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICT AT AN ATTRITION
.
THE SAN FRANCISCO IS ACTUALLY
INVESTED.
EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLARS FOR
MODERATE INCOME PRODUCTION
THROUGH A HOUSING ON HOUSING
BOND THAT WE PASSED IN TWENTY
FIFTEEN. BUT THESE FUNDS ARE
LIMITED AND I'M WOULD ONLY
GENERATE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED UNITS
TOTAL. AND WHICH IS WELL BELOW
THE FIVE THOUSAND UNITS WE NEED
TO HOUSE MODERATE INCOME
FAMILIES.
ACCORDING TO OUR REGIONAL
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT.
SO WE ARE IN DIRE NEED OF MORE
RESOURCES TO ADDRESS THAT
MISSING MS THIS MISSING METAL.
AND EXPANDING THE WELFARE TAX
EXEMPTION TO SERVE THESE
HOUSEHOLDS UP TO ONE TWENTY
PERCENT EVERY OF AIR IN MEDIAN
INCOME WOULD BE A VERY EFFECTIVE
TOOL FOR US.
AND THIS EXEMPTION WANTED
INCENTIVIZE GREATER PRODUCTION A
MODERATE AND MIDDLE INCOME UNITS
BY REDUCING THE OPERATING COSTS
FOR THESE UNITS AND IN TURN
ALLOWING OUR HOUSING DEVELOPERS
TO LEVERAGE MORE REVENUE IS
SMALL. AND GIVEN
THAT THE EXEMPTION IS ONLY
LIMITED TO CERTAIN ELIGIBLE
ENTITIES AND ONLY APPLY TO UNITS
IN HIGH COST CITIES WHERE THE
RENTS AT EIGHTY TO HUNDRED
TWENTY PERCENT OF AND MY. AND
SHOWN TO BE BELOW THE FAIR
MARKET RENT.
IN COMPARISON WE JUST SEE A
TREMENDOUS.
PUBLIC BENEFIT IN CREATING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR A
MODERATE AND MIDDLE INCOME
FAMILIES AND SO WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT OF THE BILL THINKING.

WE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
HOUSING THAT COULD BE CREATED TO
ADDRESS A VERY SIGNIFICANT.
SHORTAGE THAT WE HAVE NOW

.
AB THIRTY ONE TWENTY TWO TRIES
TO ADDRESS A PROBLEM THAT WE
SAW.
DURING THE WILDFIRE AS SEASON
HERE IN IN IN THIS SUCH ISSUE
IS.
IS RIGHT NOW IN THE CURRENT LAW
WHEN YOU.
.
ASK FOR A DIFFERENT TAXES.
YOU YOU HAVE TO DO SO BASICALLY.
MAKING THE CLAIM THAT YOUR
DAMAGE A DURING A NATIONAL
DISASTER WAS AT LEAST TEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS OR MORE.
AND IN SOME CASES A LOT OF
PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW THE EXACT
EXTENT OF WHAT THEIR DAMAGES AND
SO THEY GET PUT INTO A PLACE
WHERE.
AND IF AND IF YOU MAKE A BAD
FAITH CLAIM FOR THIS DEFERRAL
YOU CAN YOU COULD FACE
PENALTIES.
SO PUTS A LOT OF TAXPAYERS IN
THE SITUATION WHERE. THEY MAY
NOT MAKE THAT CLAIM.
OUT OF FEAR THAT THEY COULD BE
CONSIDERED NOT GOOD FAITH.
AND SO.
A WEEK OR OR THEY JUST DON'T
APPLY AT ALL.
AND WOULD RATHER HAVE PEOPLE
APPLYING FOR THESE ESPECIALLY
WHEN THEY'VE BEEN FACE OF THE
DEVASTATING DISASTER LIKE
WILDFIRE. HAS TO AB THREE THIRTY
ONE TWENTY TO ENSURE IS THAT
INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY NATURAL
DISASTERS.
LIKE THE RECENT WILDFIRES ARE
PUT IN THAT POSITION
SPECIFICALLY THE BILL CLARIFIES
THAT PAYMENT OF PROPERTY TAXES
CAN BE DEFERRED. UNTIL THE
ASSESSOR HAS DETERMINED A
PROPERTY IS NOT ELIGIBLE SO IF
ONCE THE ASSESSOR DETERMINES NO
THERE'S LESS THAN TEN THOUSAND
OR ITS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR SOME
OTHER REASON.
.
THEN THERE WERE THEY WOULD GIVE
NOTICE TO THE TAXPAYER. AND PER
COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHICH WE ARE

AB THIRTY ONE SEVENTY PROVIDES
FOR A THREE DAY SALES AND USE
TAX EXEMPTION HOLIDAY DURING THE
LAST WEEKEND OF MARCH FOR
CERTAIN QUALIFIED WATER
EFFICIENCY PRODUCTS THAT WOULD
HELP CALIFORNIANS. REDUCE THEIR
WATER USAGE BOTH INDOORS AND
OUTDOORS.
SOME PRODUCTS ELIGIBLE FOR AN
EXEMPTION OR SOAKER DRIP
IRRIGATION HOSES WHETHER BASED
IRRIGATION CONTROLLERS AS WELL
AS WATERSENSE CERTIFIED

TOILETS AND FAUCET AERATORS.
BASED ON INFORMATION FROM THE U.
S. EPA WATERSENSE LABELED
IRRIGATION CONTROLLER CAN SAVE
AN AVERAGE HOME NEARLY EIGHTY
EIGHT HUNDRED GALLONS OF WATER
ANNUALLY.
INSIDE THE HOME REPLACING
INEFFICIENT FAUCETS WITH AND
AERATORS WITH WATERSENSE LABEL
PRODUCTS CAN SAVE ONE HOUSEHOLD
SEVEN HUNDRED GALLONS A YEAR.
AS I'VE SPENT THE LAST YEAR
WORKING ON THE LONG TERM
EFFICIENCY BILLS I REALIZE THAT
THE STATE ALSO NEEDS TO PROVIDE
INCENTIVES TO CONSUMERS IN ORDER
TO MEET OUR GOALS TO MAKE TO
MAKING CONSERVATION A WAY OF
LIFE IN CALIFORNIA.

THIS BILL IS BASED ON A TEXAS
LAW THAT PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO
THAT PROVIDED A MEMORIAL DAY
WEEKEND SALES AND USE TAX
EXEMPTION FOR THESE TYPE OF
PRODUCTS.
PROVIDING AN ANNUAL SALES AND
USE TAX A TAX EXEMPTION FOR A
THREE DAY PERIOD WILL CREATE AN
INCENTIVE FOR CALIFORNIANS TO
IMPLEMENT MORE AFFORDABLE WATER
CONSERVATION PRACTICES IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES. WELL ACHIEVEMENT
SIGNIFICANT WATER SAVINGS IS
ALSO A GREAT WAY FOR. THE MONEY
MANUFACTURERS OF PRODUCTS IN
STORES TO REALLY PROMOTE WATER
EFFICIENCY IN CALIFORNIA AND
CREATE EXCITEMENT AND GENERATE
BUZZ.

B. THIRTY ONE SEVENTY BECAUSE IT
PROVIDES CALIFORNIANS WITH THE
PRACTICAL INCENTIVE TO IMPLANT
IMPLEMENT MEANINGFUL WATER
CONSERVATION.
SCOTTS MIRACLE GRO SURVEYED
RESIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA TWENTY

KILEY WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN
.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS
I'M EXCITED TO PRESENT YOU TODAY
A BILL THAT HAS FOURTEEN CO
AUTHORS. AND FOLLOWS SIX OTHER
STATES ARE RED AND BLUEMIX
OREGON MONTANA LOUISIANA ALABAMA
MISSOURI AND IOWA. IN SENSIBLY
REFORMING OUR TAX CODE.
NOW TAX REFORM IN CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN A NOTORIOUSLY INTRACTABLE
ISSUE.
BUT RECENT EVENTS HAVE PRESENTED
A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR
BIPARTISAN CONSENSUS.
AS YOU MAY RECALL LAST YEAR'S
FEDERAL TAX REFORM BILL CAPPED
THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX
DEDUCTION. COMMONLY KNOWN AS
SALT.
MANY OF OUR STATE LEADING
ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE EXPRESSED
CONCERN OVER THE IMPACT THIS
WILL HAVE ON CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS.
FOR EXAMPLE FORMER SENATE
PRESIDENT PRO TEM KEVIN DE LEóN
HAS STATED THAT HAPPENED THE
SALT DEDUCTION AMOUNTS TO QUOTE
DOUBLE TAXATION.
HE ADDED THAT THE LOSS OF THE
SALT DEDUCTION HURTS CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS AND HURTS THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
IN ADDRESSING THE LOSS OF HIS
BENEFIT FOR CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS
GOVERNOR BROWN IS CALLED THE
FEDERAL LEGISLATION A
MONSTROSITY AND EVIL IN THE
EXTREME.
CONSEQUENTLY SENATOR DELEON HAS
DESCRIBED THE NEED TO QUOTE MAKE
TAXPAYERS HOLE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT IS FULLY
WITHIN OUR POWER AS THE STATE
LEGISLATURE TO DO JUST THAT.
TODAY'S BILL ANSWER SENATOR W.
OWNS CALL TO MAKE TAXPAYERS HOLE
BY RESTORING IT THE FULL
BENEFIT.
OF THE SALT DEDUCTION FOR
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS.
TO RESTORE THE FULL BENEFIT OF
SALT.
AB EIGHTEEN SIXTY FOUR WOULD
ALLOW CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS TO
DEDUCT THEIR FULL FEDERAL TAX
LIABILITY ON THEIR STATE TAX
WHICH.
JUST LIKE SALT JUST THE OTHER
WAY AROUND.
NOW MATHEMATICALLY THIS IS THE
SAME AS SALT FOR THE TAXPAYER.
DEDUCTING FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
ON A STATE RETURN LEAVES THE
TAXPAYER IN THE SAME POSITION AS
DEDUCTING STATE INCOME TAXES.
ON A FEDERAL TAX RETURN.
WHAT CALLING IT THE NEW
DEDUCTION THE PEPPER DEDUCTION?
IT WOULDN'T SENATOR W. OWNS
WORDS MAKE TAXPAYERS HOLE AND
BENEFIT MIDDLE CLASS CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS WELL ELIMINATING ANY
CONCERNS. ABOUT DOUBLE TAXATION.
BUT THERE'S MORE.
AB EIGHTEEN SIXTY FOUR WILL ALSO
BRING A MUCH NEEDED DOSE OF
STABILITY.
THE CALIFORNIA BUDGET.
THE NONPARTISAN LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE HAS REPEATEDLY
SOUNDED THE ALARM ABOUT THE WILD
VOLATILITY OF STATE REVENUES
WHICH ARE AT THE MERCY OF THE
STOCK MARKET. AND ONE OFF
EVENTS.
GOVERNOR BROWN RAISE THE SAME
CONCERN IN DISCUSSING THIS
YEAR'S BUDGET SAYING CALIFORNIA
HAS A VERY VOLATILE TAX SYSTEM.
IT MEANS THAT MONEY COMES IN
VERY GENEROUSLY AND BUT WE ONLY
BUT IT GOES OUT THE SAME WAY.
MY PROPOSAL WOULD REDUCE
VOLATILITY FORTIFYING STATE
FINANCES AGAINST THE INEVITABLE
NEXT RECESSION.
WITH ME TODAY IN SUPPORT OF
TAXPAYERS AND SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS ACROSS THE STATE IS SHAUN
WORSE WITH THE NATIONAL
FEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT
BUSINESS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
FROM LEWIS OF THE NATIONAL
FEDERATION INDEPENDENT BUSINESS
REPRESENTING OVER TWENTY
THOUSAND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. IN SUPPORT
AS AB EIGHTEEN SIXTY FOUR WOULD
BRING MUCH NEEDED TAX RELIEF TO
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND
WORKING FAMILIES IN THIS VERY
HIGH TAX STATE. AS THE AUTHOR
ALREADY VERY ACCURATELY COUNTED.
IT'S NO SECRET THAT WE ARE IN
THE HIGHEST TAXED STATE IN THE
NATION WITH THE HIGHEST
CORPORATE TAX THE HIGHEST INCOME
TAXES THE HIGHEST STATE SALES
TAX AND ONE OF THE HIGHEST. GAS
TAXES IN THE NATION IT'S NO
SECRET OR NO SURPRISE THAT ARE.
BUSINESS TAX CLIMATE INDEX HOW
RINK DOES AT FORTY EIGHT OUT OF
FIFTY JUST LAST YEAR.
SO JUST LAST YEAR THOUGH.
NFIB DID STRONGLY SUPPORT
FEDERAL TAX REFORM ON THAT WE
GOT LAST YEAR AND THOUSANDS OF
OUR MEMBERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND MILLIONS OF OTHER SMALL
BUSINESS OWNERS ARE BENEFITTING.
FROM TAX REFORM A READY.
BUT PLACES LIKE CALIFORNIA HAVE
VERY HIGH STATE TAXES ARE
BUSINESS OWNERS ARE STILL
STRUGGLING. SO STATES LIKE
CALIFORNIA WITH HIGH STATE
TAXES.
.
HAD A NUMBER OF OPTIONS TO
CONSIDER WHEN THE SALT DEDUCTION
WAS CAPPED AT TEN THOUSAND.
A SIMPLE SOLUTION WE WOULD LOVE
AND SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO SEE IS THE SYMBOL
REDUCTION OF STATE TAXES ANDWE
DO SUPPORT THOSE MEASURES AS
WELL. BUT WE KNOW THAT'S EASIER
SAID THAN DONE SO AB EIGHTEEN
SIXTY FOUR PROVIDES ANOTHER VERY
GREAT OPTIONS PROVIDE THAT KIND
OF RELIEF BY ALLOWING TAXPAYERS
TO FULLY DEDUCT THEIR FEDERAL
TAX LIABILITY. ON THEIR STATE
TAXES SULTAN RIVERS TO SUPPORT
THIS MEASURE AND HOPE FOR YOUR
SUPPORT AS WELL.
AND.
MATTERS BUT ALSO JOINING ME IS
DAVID WOLF WITH THAT HOWARD
JARVIS TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
GOOD AFTERNOON DAVID WILL FOOT
THE HOWARD JARVIS TAXPAYERS
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL AND AS MISTER WERE SAD I
MEAN OBVIOUSLY WITH THE HAVE
FEDERAL TAX REFORM PASSING LAST
YEAR. YOU KNOW THERE IS A
CONCERN THAT THIS COULD
OBVIOUSLY NEGATIVELY IMPACT HIGH
INCOME EARNERS AND I DO THINK
THAT IS THE REASON AND THE
RATIONALE. BEHIND THIS BILL.
EN EVEN AS MR ALWAYS MENTIONED
I THINK IN A PERFECT WORLD
RATHER YOU KNOW THAN THIS BILL
OR EVEN IN ADDITION TO THIS
SPELL.
COMING UP WITH LOWER TAXES
ACROSS THE BOARD TO OFFSET
CALIFORNIA'S EXTREMELY HIGH
INCOME TAXES VERY PROGRESSIVE
INCOME TAX SCHEDULE. EIGHT
BRACKETS MEMBERS.
IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING OUR
INCOME TAX FAR AND AWAY MORE
BRACKETS THAN ANY OTHER STATE IN
THE NATION OBVIOUSLY HIGHEST
INCOME TAXES IN THE NATION.
THAT IS REALLY THE ULTIMATE WAY
TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM IS
CREATE A FIGHT TAX SYSTEM CREATE
SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE BIT
MORE EQUITABLE.
FOR TAXPAYERS ALL ACROSS
CALIFORNIA.
TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS BILL
YOU KNOW BEGINS THE PROCESS OF
DOING THAT WERE ABSOLUTELY IN
SUPPORT OF IT THINKING.
OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
SEEING NINE COMMENTS AND
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE
DARKER.
MY GOOD FRIEND.
YOU KNOW WHAT I.
LOOK AT TWENTY SEVEN BILLION IS
A LOT TO LOSE. I THINK THIS IS.
.
DEFINITELY GOING TO GO INTO
APPROPRIATIONS.
.
THE PROBLEM WE HAVE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
IS THERE ARE XPENSES ARE VERY
HIGH WE HAVE A LOT OF KIDS AS
RESULT. EVEN THOUGH WE GIVE MORE
STATE MONEY TO SCHOOLS THEN IN
TERMS PERCENT OF THE BUDGET
FORTY PERCENT TO K. TWELVE.
ANOTHER TEN PERCENT TO HIGHER
EDUCATION.
ARE WE STILL DO NOT FIND A
HIGHER EDUCATION AS WE HAVE IN
THE PAST.
AND WERE AMONG THE LOWEST IN PER
CHILD. AND SO IT YOU KNOW THAT
TWENTY SEVEN BILLION BASICALLY
HALF WOULD COME OUT OF HIGHER
EDUCATION AND K. TWELVE.
I'M WONDERING IF YOU WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN AT AS PART OF THE
SPELL TO COME UP WITH THE
REPLACEMENT FOR THE MONEY WE'RE
LOSING.
WELL I I THINK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION NOW DOCTOR CLERK I WILL
JUST A BRIEF CORRECTION SO
TWENTY SEVEN BILLION THAT IS OUT
AND EIGHTEEN MONTH PER
PROJECTIONS SO I AN ANNUALIZED.
LEVEL REVENUE LOSS WOULD BE MORE
ON THE ORDER OF EIGHTEEN BILLION
AT LEAST INITIALLY WHICH MIGHT
SOUND LIKE A LOT.
BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY.
WOULD ONLY BRING US BACK ABOUT
TWO YEARS TO WHAT THE STATE
BUDGET WAS TWO YEARS AGO. AND
SO.
I THINK A PRETTY GOOD
METHODOLOGY.
FOR HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT WOULD
BE TO LET'S LOOK AT.
WHAT THE MAIN COST DRIVERS HAVE
BEEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS
IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO WHEN
GOVERNOR BROWN?
FIRST TOOK OFFICE I THINK THE
BUDGET'S GONE SOMETHING LIKE
SIXTY FIVE BILLION DOLLARS SINCE
THEN. AND LET'S LOOK AT TACK ON
A WHAT WE'VE GOTTEN IN RETURN
FOR THAT SPENDING OUR THEIR
MEASURABLE.
IMPROVEMENT IN LIFE OUTCOMES
FOR CALIFORNIANS AND HERDS OF
HEALTH OUTCOMES AND HEARD OF
EDUCATION OUTCOMES.
IN TERMS OF THAT AT YOU KNOW
INCOME LEVEL OR PURCHASING POWER
AND WE DON'T SEE ANY
IMMEASURABLE.
IMPROVE AND OUT COMES A LINK TO
THE INCREASE SPENDING.
THEN WE CAN REMOVE THAT
SPENDING AND I THINK TO BE VERY
EASY TO ACTUALLY I GO BACK JUST
TO AGAIN WHERE WE WERE AT. AYE
TWO YEARS AGO NOW I WILL SAY
THAT IF YOU KNOW COSTS ARE
CONCERNED HAS YOU.
ACCURATELY NOTE THIS WILL HAVE
MORE HURDLES TO GO THROUGH IN
THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS AND OF
COURSE ALL THIS CAN BE
NEGOTIATED US SO I THINK YOU CAN
CONSIDER TODAY'S BELL. I SIMPLY
A VOTE TO ENDORSE THE PRINCIPLE
I THAT WE SHOULD HAVE
DEDUCTIBILITY WHICH I THINK BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE.
SEEM TO AGREE ON THAT I YOU
KNOW IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
SAME ARE YOUR TOTAL INCOME
SHOULDN'T BE.
ASSEMBLY.
MISTER KILEY THIS WAS IN FACT
ADOPTED ORIGINALLY TO PROTECT
STATES RIGHTS THEIR ABILITY TO.
ENGAGE IN ACTIVITIES AND I
DON'T.
JUST JUST SEEMS A CONTRARY TO
THAT I'D I'D BE CURIOUS TO HEAR
YOUR RESPONSE BATES RIGHT SINGLE
ARE
CONCERNED ACTUALLY THIS IS A
GREAT EXAMPLE OF FEDERALISM IS
THAT SOME STATES ARE LIKE THE
ONES I LISTED OUT WERE AGAIN
MONTANA LOUISIANA ALABAMA
MISSOURI. AND IOWA DO IN FACT
HAVE.
THE TAX POLICY THAT I'M
PROPOSING AND I AND OTHERS DON'T
AND IT'S WITHIN THE THE POWER OF
EACH STATE TO DECIDE THEIR
APPROACH AND I'M SAYING THAT WE
SHOULD JOIN THESE OTHER STATES
IN ANDTAKING THE APPROACH OF
ALLOWING. FEDERAL TAXES TO BE
DEDUCTIBLE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS WITH ME.
SEEING NO ONE JULY TO CLOSE.
OUT.
I WE WE HAVE A QUORUM WE'RE
GONNA HOLD CLERK WILL CALL THE
ROLL.
CLERK IT'S SHOULD PAT OKAY WE
HAVE A
QUORUM.
AT THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
YES BOTTOM ROW THANK YOU MADAM
SPEAKER FOUND ASTHMA MENTION
CALIFORNIA HAS THE HIGHEST
INCOME TAXES IN THE COUNTRY. AND
YET WE ALSO HAVE MORE OF OUR
CITIZENS LIVING IN POVERTY THE
HIGHEST COST OF LIVING IN ONE OF
THE LOWEST PERFORMING STATE
GOVERNMENTS BY JUST ABOUT ANY
METRIC.
WORST OF ALL WE SEE MORE AND
MORE OF OUR PEOPLE ACROSS ALL
INCOME LEVELS LEAVING FOR OTHER
STATES BECAUSE ADULT DOESN'T
MAKE ECONOMIC SENSE TO LIVE
HERE.
OR BECAUSE THEY JUST CAN'T
AFFORD TO.
FEDERAL TAX REFORM IS PRESENTED
CALIFORNIA WITH A UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY.
AND WE SHOULDN'T WASTE IT ON THE
SAME GIMMICKS AND CAN KICKING
* IS FUELED OUR STATES
DECLINE TO THE POVERTY AND
INEQUALITY CAPITAL OF THE UNITED
STATES.
INSTEAD WE SHOULD SEIZE THIS
OPPORTUNITY WITH A BLUEPRINT FOR
FISCAL STABILITY AND ECONOMIC
GROWTH THAT WILL RENEW THE
CALIFORNIA DREAM FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME CONSIDERATION AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK PRIVATE.
SO AYE AND THAT THE AS CHAIR I
HAVE A NO RECOMMENDATION ON THIS
EIGHT. I UNDERSTAND YOUR NEED
FOR STABILITY I DON'T KNOW THAT
THAT CREATING STABILITY THE WAY
TO START WITHOUT IS TO BUY BY
BLOWING A TWENTY SEVEN BILLION
DOLLAR HOLE INTO OUR GENERAL
FUND. I ALSO DON'T THINK THE
CREATING STABILITY IS BY ASKING
FOR A CALIFORNIA GENERAL FUND TO
BORE THE BRUNT OF. WHAT OTHER
PROPOSALS DO NOT REQUIRE?
?
WITH THAT IN MIND I MEAN IT'S A
CUTE NAME PEPPERS ADORABLE BUT.
AS FAR AS TAX REFORM BILLS GO
AS FAR AS TAX FROM BILLS GO I
DON'T KNOW THAT YOU HAVE AN
ANALYSIS THAT SHOWS EXACTLY WHO
WOULD BE AFFECTED BY THE NEW TAX
REFORM POLICIES. IN UNTIL YOU
HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT I THINK
IT WOULD BE IRRESPONSIBLE TO
TAKE OF TO BITE OUT OF THE
GENERAL FUND AT THE TO THE TUNE
OF TWENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS.
I FULLY AGREE SAW DEDUCTION
LIMITS IT SOMETIMES WILL HAVE TO
BE ADDRESSED BUT WE SHOULD KNOW
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BEFORE
WE DO IT.
WITH THAT THE CLERK WILL CALL
THE ROLL SECOND. OF NO WE ONLY

WHAT I MEAN?
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF.
THE EMPLOYMENT RATE FOR
CALIFORNIANS WITH INTELLECTUAL
AND DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
IS WELL OVER EIGHTY PERCENT.
MOST EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THIS POPULATION CAME THROUGH
THE EFFORTS OF COMMUNITY BASED
NONPROFITS THAT SEEK EMPLOYMENT
AND CORDONS WITH THE CONSUMERS
INDIVIDUALIZED. PROGRAM PLAN HAS
ESTABLISHED WITH AN ASSIGNED
REGIONAL CENTER.
CALIFORNIA'S LANDMARK LETTERMAN
ACT AND ENTITLES PEOPLE WITH
INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES TO SERVICES
INCLUDING HELP IN FINDING AND
KEEPING EMPLOYMENT.
SUPPORTED BY THE STATE PERSONS
WITH INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
RECEIVE VARIOUS SUPPORTS
INCLUDING JOB COACHING. WHILE
EMPLOYERS PAY THEIR WAGES.
IN ADDITION UNDER THE FEDERAL
LABOR STANDARDS ACT OR FLSA
PERSONS WITH INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES MAY
BE PAID LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE.
IF THEY'RE EARNING OUR
PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY IS IMPAIRED
BY A DISABILITY MOVE THE BILL.
UNDER A FOURTEEN C. CERTIFICATE
PRODUCTIVITY MUST BE MEASURED
EVERY SIX MONTHS
WITH AND WAGES ADJUSTED USING
THE PREVAILING WAGE FOR THE JOB
IS A STANDARD. AB THIRTY ONE
TWENTY SEVEN WOULD CREATE AN
OFFSET OR CREDIT BETWEEN THE
MINIMUM WAGE AND WHAT THE PERSON
WE PAID USING FSL A PRODUCTIVITY
MEASUREMENTS.
THROUGH YOU BASED PROGRAMS WILL
PROVIDE SUPPORTS INCLUDING
PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENTS THAT
WOULD SERVE AS THE BASIS OF
DETERMINING THE AMOUNT OF CREDIT
ALLOWED FOR THE EMPLOYER AND
CONTINUE TO MEASURE THE
EMPLOYEES.
DOUG GROWTH IN JOB RELATED
TASKS.
AB THIRTY ONE TWENTY SEVEN
STRIKES A BALANCE BETWEEN.
YOU SEEM.
AB THIRTY ONE TO TWENTY SEVEN
STRIKES A BALANCE BETWEEN
ALLEVIATING THE HIGH RATE OF
UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES AND NOT OVER
BURDENING THE EMPLOYER WITHOUT
OF EXPENSES.
THIS BILL CREATES ANOTHER
EMPLOYMENT OPTION THAT DOESN'T
PLACE CONSUMERS IN THE POSITION
OF CHOOSING BETWEEN A SUB
MINIMUM WAGE JOB. OR NO JOB AT
ALL.
I HAVE CARL LONDON WITH ME TODAY
REPRESENTING THE SPONSOR THE
ALLIANCE SUPPORTING PEOPLE WITH
INTELLECTUAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE.
I MEAN THIS ISN'T SUPPORT.
DAPHNE MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS.
CARL LONDON HERE ON THE HEALTH
ALLIANCE SPORTING PEOPLE WITH
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITIES.
WHEN I THINK A FOR SOFT MR
ACOSTA FOR BRINGING THIS
MEASURE.
FORWARD. AS HE SAID THE
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR PEOPLE IN
THIS POPULATION IS WELL OVER
EIGHTY PERCENT I.
I WAS THINK ABOUT THIS IN
ANOTHER CONTEXT WHICH IS IF WE
COULD THINK OF ANY OTHER.
POPULATION IN CALIFORNIA THAT
HAD THAT KIND OF UNEMPLOYMENT
RATE WHAT WOULD WE DO AND.
THE FIRST THING IS PUBLIC DOMAIN
THIS BILL IN THE PROBABLY BLOW
RIGHT OFF. WE HAVE SOME KIND OF
RESPONSE.
TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN WE PASSED
A VERY IMPORTANT MEASURE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WHICH CALL FOR EMPLOYMENT FIRST
POLICY FOR THIS POPULATION IN
OTHER WORDS THE VERY FIRST THING
THAT WE LOOK AT.
FOR ANYBODY IN IS POPULATION IS
A JOB IN TRYING TO HELP THEM GET
TO WORK YET WE STILL HAVE THAT
EIGHTY PERCENT. OF PLUS
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.
THERE IS SOME CONTROVERSY
AROUND.
THE USE OF SUB MINIMUM WAGE FOR
THIS POPULATION.
AS THE SORT OF PHILOSOPHICAL
DIVIDE GOING ON RIGHT NOW AMONG
PEOPLE THAT SERVE THIS
POPULATION SOME BELIEVE THAT WE
SHOULDN'T HAVE THAT ALL. OTHERS
HAVE SEEN VERY CORRECTLY I THINK
THAT THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL
TO HELP SOME PEOPLE GET INTO
THE.
WORKFORCE AND AT THE SAME TIME.
GIVES EMPLOYERS.
THE VALUE THEY NEED WHEN
THEY'RE SORT OF AYE WAITING
THERE BOTTOM LINE THIS BILL KIND
OF MARY'S.
BOTH CONCEPTS VERY CAREFULLY. BY
BASICALLY SAYING THAT ALL YEAR
LONG IF AN EMPLOYER DECIDES TO
PAY A PERSON WHO WAS ELIGIBLE
FOR SUB MINIMUM WAGE.
AT LEAST MINIMUM WAGE THEY
COULD ENJOY AT THE END OF THE
YEAR A TAX CREDIT FOR PUTTING
THAT PERSON WORK. WHAT'S ALSO
INTERESTING ABOUT THE FEDERAL
LAW AND FOURTEEN SEE IS THAT.
PEOPLE EMPLOYED UNDER THE US GET
REEVALUATED EVERY SIX MONTHS
MOST OF US YOU GUYS EVER. I
GUESS IN EVERY TO YOUR REVIEW BY
YOUR VOTERS MOST PEOPLE HAVE AN
ANNUAL REVIEW WITH A LOOK AT BY
THEIR EMPLOYER WE LOOK AT
WHETHER OR NOT THEY DID A GOOD
JOB.
YOU KNOW WHAT DOT.
DESPITE RELATION GETS IN EVERY
SIX MONTHS MANDATORY REVIEW SO.
IF THEY'RE FOUND DURING THAT
TIME TO GET BETTER AT THEIR JOB.
THEN THEIR WAGE GOES UP UNDER
THE FEDERAL LAW MEETING THIS TAX
CREDIT WOULD GO DOWN.
SO WHICH IS IDEAL.
THE COUPLE THINGS WE'VE DONE
HERE WE'VE SUNSET AT THIS TO
REQUIRE THAT ONLY GOES FOR A
TIME LIMITED PERIOD.
AND THEN REQUIRES A REPORT BACK
TO THE LEGISLATURE SO WE CAN SEE
HOW WELL THIS WORK. I CONTINUE
FIRSTHAND WE HAVE TALKED TO MANY
EMPLOYER GROUPS THE RESTAURANTS.
THE GROCER'S CAL CHAMBER.
ARE ALL LIKE THIS CONCEPT. IT'S
EASY FOR THEM AND THAT IS VERY
IMPORTANT IN ORDER TO GET OUR
POPULATION WORKING WITH THEM BUT
THE SUPPORTS THAT MR ACOSTA
DESCRIBED.
IN ELECTORATE DRIVE VOTE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
THINK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN
SPORT.
TRUTH ANDERSON WITH ARKIN UCP
CALIFORNIA COLLABORATION AND
SUPPORT.
GOOD AFTERNOON VERY JUTTING FROM
THE CALIFORNIA DISABILITY
SERVICES ASSOCIATION AND
SUPPORT.
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
SEEN ON QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS
FROM THE COMMITTEE DUCK CREEK.
ARM.
SO MY CONCERN IS.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TEN MILLION
DOLLARS ONCE THE PROGRAM GETS
STARTED. AND ESSENTIALLY WHY
WOULDN'T A GROCER.
GIVE THE PERSON THE FULL MINIMUM
WAGE WHEN THE STATE'S PAYING A
HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE
DIFFERENCE.
I WOULD THINK THAT WHAT
HAPPENED.
AND YOU GET TO THAT TEN MILLION
DOLLAR DIFFERENCE.
MY CONCERN THOUGH IS THAT WE'RE
REALLY TALKING ABOUT IS.
AS WAS BROUGHT UP BY YOUR
SUPPORTER. IS THE.
EIGHTY PERCENT.
AND SO FAR AS I CAN SEE THIS
DOES NOTHING FOR THE EIGHTY
PERCENT WHO ARE EMPLOYED IT
GIVES MORE MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO
ARE THAT'S
IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. BUT
I JUST DON'T THINK THIS IS THE
BEST WAY TO SPEND THE MONEY SO I
WON'T BE SUPPORTING IT.
I.
I APOLOGIZE BUT. THAT'S THAT IS
MY VIEWPOINT.
WELL I APPRECIATE THE THE THE
COMMENTARY THERE I THINK WHAT
WE'VE HEARD AND I LET MY OF THE
SPONSOR ACTUALLY RESPOND AS WELL
IF IF THAT THE CHAIRS INDULGENCE
BUT. VERY BRIEFLY OF WHAT I'VE
HEARD FROM A COMMUNITY MEMBERS
AND EMPLOYERS IS THAT.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO HIRE EITHER
A MORE OR BE ANYONE FROM THIS
COMMUNITY IF THEY CAN GET THE
PENCIL OUT AND GIVEN THE
SITUATIONS WHERE. WE HAVE
CHALLENGES.
WITH EMPLOYMENT IN THIS AREA
ARENA EIGHTY PERCENT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MAYBE THE
TWENTY PERCENT YOUR CONCERN IS A
TWENTY PERCENT GETTING MORE
MONEY.
BUT THEY'RE THERE THIS IS STILL
A RELATIVELY SMALL POPULATION SO
THE EIGHTY PERCENT SHOULD BE
ABLE TO BE VERY EASILY ADDRESSED
FROM WHAT I'M SEEING OUT IN THE
COMMUNITIES THAT WE HAVE SEVERAL
EMPLOYERS IN AND NOW MY DISTRICT
THAT HIGHER ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY
THIS POPULATION. SO IT'S NOT SO
SO MUCH DIRECTED IN THEIR
DIRECTION IT'S MORE DIRECTED IN
THE DIRECTION OF THE RESTAURANTS
THE GROCERS THE OTHER FOLKS THAT
COULD. THAT COULD GET THESE
FOLKS SAN AND HAVE A PENCIL OUT
AND THEN BE ABLE TO GET THEM TO
A POINT WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO
BE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND THEY'RE
GOING TO BE LEANING LESS ON
SOCIETY AND MORE ON THEM.
FOR THE EMPLOYER TO MAKE THAT
LEAP OF FAITH
AND NOT EVERYBODY WOULD LOVE
EVERYONE FRANKLY TO MAKE THAT
LEAP OF FAITH.
THE UNKNOWN OFTENTIMES WE FOR
THAT IN THIS BUILDING IN AND AND
ON THE FLOOR OF OUR CHAMBER.
AND THE FEAR THE UNKNOWN
SOMETIMES CAN BE A STE A
ROADBLOCK AND HINDRANCE FOR THE
EMPLOYER AND IF WE CAN TAKE AWAY
ONE MORE BARRIER TO ENTRY FOR
THIS EIGHTY PERCENT OF THIS
POPULATION. HEADING IT'S THE
RIGHT THING TO DO IT'S GOOD
PUBLIC POLICY AND AS HE SAID AS
THE AUTHOR MENTIONED AND I'M
STEALING CENTER PROBABLY.
THAT IS AS AS THE POPULATION
ARE THE EMPLOYEES. GAINS MORE
SKILL AND IS BETTER MORE
PROFICIENT AT THEIR JOB EVERY
SIX MONTHS THEY'RE GOING TO BE.
WE A RE RE EVALUATED AND AND
HOPEFULLY AND POTENTIALLY THE
GOAL AS IS THEN TO BE MORE
PRODUCTIVE ON THE JOB. AND AND
DECREASE THE INCENTIVE BUT I I I
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS.
SUMMER QUIRK AND NINETY IN
RESPECTFULLY HOPE THAT MAYBE MY.
MY SO THE SPONSOR HERE WILL
LEVEL CHANGE MINE BUT THAT HE
WOULD NOT ADDRESSING THAT.
WIENER.
MADAM CHAIR IF I MAY UM MISTER
GORE QUE SO. JUSTIN DEBATE THIS
A LITTLE BIT OF WE PASSED
COUPLE YEARS AGO ON THE BUDGET
THAT THING CALLED.
COMPETITIVE INTEGRATED
EMPLOYMENT.
WITH THE STATE LEGISLATURE.
PUMPED TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
IN TWO OUT OF THE STATE BUDGET
INTO FINDING JOBS AS POPULATION
WHERE IN THE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
SUBSIDIZE THE JOBS WITHOUT
MODEL.
YOU GUYS ALL AGREED IN THE
BUDGET TO ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
SUBSIDIZE IN THIS CASE WE GO OUT
TO IN THE COMMUNITY EMPLOYERS.
AND WE SAY TO THEM LOOK WE KNOW
YOU HAVE A PERSON UNDER FEDERAL
LAW YOU COULD PAY LESS THAN
MINIMUM WAGE.
BUT IF YOU AGREED TO GO AHEAD
AND AT LEAST PAY THE MINIMUM
WAGE WHICH HELPS THAT PERSON AS
A CONSUMER AND APPROACH SPADE IN
THE MARKET. AND THE ECONOMY IF
YOU'LL LEAST DO THAT. WILL HELP
YOU WITH A TAX CREDIT TO OFFSET
THE SORT OF PRODUCTIVITY LOSS
YOU'RE PROBABLY GETTING OUT OF
THAT.
AND AGAIN AS WAS SAID THE PERSON
WILL GET BETTER AT THAT JOB
WHICH MEANS THE TAX CREDIT WILL
GO DOWN GIVING WE'VE DONE HERE.
LOOK AT IT AS A PILOT PROJECT
IT'S IT'S GOTTA LIMITATION ON
TIME IT WON'T BE REAUTHORIZED
UNLESS THIS WORKS AND WILL SHOW
VERY CLEARLY THAT PEOPLE GOT
JOBS THIS WAY. BUT YOU HAVE A
MODEL THAT THEY WERE YOU HUNDRED
PERCENT SUBSIDY AS THIS ONE
SAYS.
WILL HELP THE EMPLOYERS HAVE
THEY SUBSIDIZE. A DECENT PORTION
OF IT ALL YEAR LONG BEFORE THEY
GET ANY KIND OF CREDIT.
WE THINK THAT'S IMPORTANCE WHAT
WE'RE HEARING FROM EMPLOYERS THE
COMMUNITY RIGHT AND THE PER ONE
OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT NO ONE
NOW HAS AN INCENTIVE TO GIVE.
SOMEONE A MERIT RAISE BECAUSE
THE MONEY IS COMING FROM THE
STATE.
AND THERE'S JUST NO I CAN SEE NO
WAY IN WHICH YOU CAN ACTUALLY BE
HIRING MORE PEOPLE I WOULD SPEND
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
IF WE COULD FIND A WAY TO HIRE
MORE PEOPLE THIS TEN MILLION
DOLLARS I DON'T THINK DOES THAT.
AND I WILL REVIEW TO THE CHAREST
AYE I THINK I'VE SAID ENOUGH.
AND I QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE.
SEEING NONE WOULD YOU LIKE
CLOSE.
I'M. GOOD ME VERY TOUCHED ON IT
BUT I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT.
THIS IS AN ENCOURAGEMENT.
IT TO HIRE THESE THE SOME FOLKS
AND ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR THIS
POPULATION.
TEN MILLION DOLLARS IN THE
STATE BUDGET IS NOT.
SOME TRIVIAL AMOUNT ON A
FRANKLY WELL FOR ITS A LOT OF
MONEY BUT IT'S ALSO. AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR A GROUP OF
PEOPLE THAT ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED
IN OUR COMMUNITIES. AND WE THIS
IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO
THAT'S I REQUEST SOLELY ACT ASK
YOUR I THINK YOU.
AND I LIKE TO THINK THE AUTHOR I
DO I UNDERSTAND ART RECORDS
CONCERNS HOWEVER IT IS
UNFORTUNATE THAT WE NEED ANY
TOOLS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
EMPLOY. PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
AND SO IMMEDIATE IF THIS GETS
PEOPLE OVER THE HUMP LIKE YOU
SAID A LEAP OF FAITH WHATEVER WE
CAN DO DO THAT IS IMPORTANT AND.
AND IT'S GREAT THAT WE ALL HAVE
IDEAS ON.
OTHER WAYS TO DO THAT AS WELL
AND HOPEFULLY THEY COME THROUGH
THIS COMMITTEE WITH THAT.
ERICA'S DO PASS TO
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE WITH
THAT.

LAW PARCEL TAXES ARE ASSESSED ON
INDIVIDUAL PARCELS OF PROPERTY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS MAY EXEMPT

UNFORTUNATELY MANY SENIORS IN
SEVERELY DISABLED HOMEOWNERS ARE
UNABLE TO FIND THE INFORMATION
AND HOW TO APPLY FOR PARCEL TAX
EXEMPTION.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO CONSISTENT
OH UNIFORM PRACTICE IN PLACE
LEAVING SENIORS AND SEVERELY
DISABLED HOMEOWNERS FRUSTRATED
THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THE EXEMPTION THAT
IS OFFERED THEM. WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS TO ADDRESS THIS
OVERSIGHT AND AB TWENTY FOUR
FIFTY EIGHT REQUIRES COUNTY TAX

HE HAS EXPERIENCE AS A FOUNDER
OF FOUR DIFFERENT COMPANIES HE'S
REYES A FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
I AN EASEL CAPITAL WHICH IS THAT
THE BASISOF THIS LEGISLATION
AND HE'S REYES APPROXIMATELY TWO
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS IN
VENTURE CAPITAL.
IN ADDITION TO SERVING AS A C.
E. O. HE'S ALSO AN ANGEL

ACTIVITY IN TWENTY PLUS COME
COMPANIES.
I HE'S ALSO THE OTHER VICE CHAIR
OF THE SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP
GROUP WHICH IS THE THREE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY.
OF OUR COMPANY STRONG OF A TRADE
ASSOCIATION OF THE SILICON
VALLEY.
A JAMES BELIEVE US THIS ASSEMBLY
BILL IS NEEDED IN ORDER TO
STIMULATE MORE START UP CAPITAL
ESPECIALLY AMONG DIVERSE TEAMS
IN FOUNDERS WERE COMMITTED TO
INNOVATION AND JOB CREATION.
ASSEMBLY BILL TWO SEVEN FIVE
EIGHT OFFERS A STRAIGHT FORWARD
MEASURE BY DIRECTLY
INCENTIVIZING INVESTORS.

SMALL BUSINESSES.
OF THAT THAT MAY HAVE OTHERWISE
BEEN OVERLOOKED.
TARGETING SMALL BUSINESSES THAT
A DIFFICULT THE SECURING OF

THEIR ACCESS TO CAPITAL BUT IT
ALSO WILL IMPROVE SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS NETWORK OF CONTACTS AND
PROVIDES THEM WITH EXPERIENCE.

JUDICIAL IN THOSE.
SHARON QUIRK FOR THE CALIFORNIA
FACTS.
THANK YOU ADDITIONAL WITNESSES
SPORT SEEN ON A DISH TOWEL
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
SEEN NON QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS
ON THE COMMITTEE THIS QUIRK.
TRIAL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL.
MY CONCERN IS YOUR CALLING
THESE ANGEL INVESTORS THERE'S
ONE OTHER PART OF AN ANGEL
INVESTOR AND I DON'T THINK IS
DISCUSSED.
WHEN THE BELL LOW MAYBE I'VE
MISSED SOMETHING WHICH IS.
GENERALLY SPEAKING IT IS THOUGHT
THAT ANGEL INVESTORS ARE TAKING
ANY KIND OF MONEY OUT OF THE
COMPANY. AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO
PAY THEM IS THE EIGHT HUNDRED
DOLLAR MINIMUM AND I ACTUALLY
HAD THE BILL. WHICH.
.
I BASICALLY COULDN'T GET A GOOD
DEFINITION FOR SO IT WAS.
JOINTLY WITH THE ALLEN WHICH
WOULD HAVE SAID FOR AN ANGEL
INVESTOR YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY
THAT EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS.
SO ANYWAY MY CONCERN HERE IS
PERHAPS YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT
FROM ANGEL INVESTOR TO SOMETHING
ELSE BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE. COULD
IF I'M UNLESS I'M READING THE
BILL WRONG WHICH I MIGHT BE.
THESE PEOPLE COULD BE MAKING A
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM
THEIR INVESTMENT.
AND.
AND I THINK THAT OUR HOPE IS
THAT THEY'RE MAKING A
SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY I IN
IN THEIR INVESTMENT AT SOME
POINT I THINK OUR REAL CONCERN
HERE IS THAT AND WE WILL. CHECK
AND SEE IF ANGEL INVESTOR IS THE
PROPER TERM TO BE USED HOWEVER I
BELIEVE IT IS.
BUT.
AS ARE REPORT SHOW AS THAT.
MY NAM OUR OWN BUSINESSES ARE
GETTING TWENTY THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED HOURS COMPARED TO
MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES ARE
GETTING NINETY THREE HUNDRED
DOLLARS FROM SECURE CAPITAL. AND
SO WHAT WE'RE REALLY JUST TRYING
TO DO HERE IS MAKE SWORE THAT
UNDERREPRESENTED. AND SMALL
BUSINESSES ARE PRIORITIZED AND
SECURE FINANCING AND SO IF ANGEL
MASTER IS NOT THE CORRECT TERM I
WILL MAKE SURE WE FIND THE
CORRECT TERM BUT I BELIEVE IT
IS.
TO SHOW MEMBERS WISHING TO
SPEAK.
SEEING NONE OF THERE WAS A
MOTION BY MISTER VOEPEL SECOND
BY. MISTER GRAY MADAM CHAIR
