AMENDMENTS TO ADD THE FIVE YEAR

ACCOUNTS WILL ALLOW CALIFORNIANS
TO ACHIEVE HOMEOWNERSHIP BY
ALLOWING FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS
TO SAVE FOR THE COSTS OF THEIR
FIRST TIME HOME PURCHASE. BY
USING A NEWLY CREATED TAX
ADVANTAGED SAVINGS ACCOUNT
SIMILAR TO A FIVE TWENTY NINE
COLLEGE SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
HOMEOWNERSHIP IS MORE THAN JUST
A SAFE ROOF OVER ONE'S HEAD ONE
ACHIEVABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP IS A
POWERFUL TOOL FOR ECONOMIC
MOBILITY AND IS THE SINGLE
GREATEST INVESTMENT SOME CAN
MAKE IN THEIR LIFETIME.
BUT WITH THE SOARING COSTS OF
HOMES IN CALIFORNIA THAT REALITY
IT'S OUT OF REACH FOR MANY
CALIFORNIANS.
WITH THIS BILL WE WILL ENSURE
THERE ARE MILLENNIALS AND MIDDLE
CLASS FAMILIES HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PLANT ROOTS IN OUR
COMMUNITIES.
POSSESS REAL FINANCIAL EQUITY.
AND USE OUR TALENTS TO ADVANCE
AND IMPROVE OUR STATE.
WE HAVE WORKED HARD FOR THREE
YEARS TO GET THIS BILL TO WHERE

RECEIVE A TWENTY FIVE PERCENT
TAX CREDIT BASED ON THE FAIR
MARKET VALUE OF THE LAND.
THIS TAX CREDIT PROGRAM WOULD
HAVE A TEN MILLION DOLLAR CAP

LAND REMAIN AFFORDABLE.

YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE THE CALLEA
TO SEE FOR A FEW MOMENTS.
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT
LAST YEAR OF TO EXPAND THE EITC
TO THE.
SELF EMPLOYED CALIFORNIANS
HOWEVER THERE IS MORE WORK TO DO
THIS BILL DOES IT UNITED WAYS A
LARGE COALITION OF CALLIE I TO
SEE ADVOCATES BELIEVE THAT IF
YOU WORK. YOU PAY YOUR TAXES YOU
FILE YOUR TAX RETURNS AND MEET
THE INCOME ELIGIBILITY
GUIDELINES YOU SHOULD HAVE
ACCESS TO CALLIE ITC. TWENTY
SIXTY SIX INSURERS THIS BY
EXTENDING THE CREDIT ALL LOW
INCOME WORKERS EIGHTEEN YEARS
AND OLDER THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO
GET BY. THIS WILL COVER YOUNG
ADULTS JUST STARTING OUT SENIORS
THAT ARE FORCED TO STAY IN THE
WORK FORCE OVER THE AGE OF SIXTY

ADULTS WHO FILE THEIR. TAX
RETURNS WITH THE ITEM NUMBER.
ONE IN THREE CALIFORNIANS
STRUGGLED TO MEET BASIC LIVING
COSTS ABOUT TWICE THE OFFICIAL
POVERTY RATE. AND NINE AND TEN
ARE LED BY WORKING ADULT
ACCORDING TO OUR REAL COST
MEASURE RESEARCH.
THE POVERTY RATE AMONG SENIORS
IS OVER TWENTY PERCENT AND
GROWING. UNITED WAY.
AND OUR PARTNER.
VITA SITES AND WE KNOW FIRST
HAND WHAT A DIFFERENCE EITC
MAKES.
SO WE WANT TO CATCH.
MAKE SURE THAT CALLIE I TO SEE
HAS BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CONTINUES
TO BE A GREAT SUCCESS AND BY
STRENGTHENING IT THROUGH THE
ADDING INCLUDING THE THREE
GROUPS THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY
EXCLUDED. A WE FEEL THAT THE
ECONOMICS OF.
SECURITY ISN'T WITHIN MORE.
WORKERS REACH.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND WE
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE.
A GOOD AFTERNOON I'M ADAM CHECK
COMMITTEE MEMBERS SEEM TO
DISSOLVE A WITH THAT CALIFORNIA
IMMIGRANT POLICY CENTER RAS A CO
SPONSOR ON AB TWENTY SIXTY SIX.
I'M YOU KNOW INCLUSION I THINK
IS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE WE LOCK
OUT CALIFORNIANS BASED ON
IMMIGRATION STATUS IT NOT ONLY
SET BACK FAMILIES A COMMUNITIES
THAT REALLY DOES HURT OUR STATE.
I IMMIGRANTS MAKE UP ONE THIRD
OF OUR WORKFORCE BUT THEY'RE
ALSO PARENTS TO OVER HALF OF THE
KIDS IN OUR STATE AND AS
TAXPAYERS THEY CONTRIBUTE THREE
BILLION. AND STATE AND LOCAL
TAXES YET THE SAME TAX FILERS
WHEN THEY FALL ON HARD TIMES ARE
EXCLUDED FROM THIS CREDIT TO
KEEP A LITTLE MORE OF WHAT THEY
EARN IN ORDER TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
WE CAN REMOVE THESE EXCLUSIONS
IN TWENTY SIXTY SIX BY
HARNESSING EXISTING MECHANISMS
LIKE THE FEDERALLY ASSIGNED
TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
KNOWN AS A NIGHT TEN. IT WAS
CREATED IN NINETEEN NINETY SIX
BY THE IRS SO THAT THE IRS HAD
WAY TO PROCESS.
TAX CLAIMS FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT
DID NOT HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY
NUMBER AND THE USE OF THE A TENS
ALLOWS THE FOR IRIS TO BRING IN
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY SINGLE
YEAR AND FACT. AND TWENTY
SIXTEEN THE R. S. THAT'S WHY I
TEN FILERS PAID OVER TWENTY FOUR
BILLION AND FEDERAL TAXES AND
CALIFORNIA THERE'S AN ESTIMATED
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND I TEND TAX
FILERS. AND RESEARCH SHOWS THAT
THE MAJORITY OF THESE FILERS ARE
RESIDENTS OF REGIONS WITH HIGH
AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT AND OR LARGE
SPANISH SPEAKING POPULATIONS
WHICH CERTAINLY ARE
CHARACTERISTICS THAT MATCH
NUMBER OF COUNTIES. IN OUR STATE
SO UNFORTUNATELY WHILE THE
NUMBER PROVIDES THESE
INDIVIDUALS OPPORTUNITY TO FILE
THEIR TAXES IT'S STILL INCLUDE
EXCLUDES THEM FROM THE FEDERAL
AND STATE EITC. AND SO THAT I
TEN MAY BE NEW TO THE ATC BUT
THEY'RE AN EXISTING CALIFORNIA
TAX FURTHER POPULATION FOR OVER
TWO DECADES.
IN FACT WE'VE ALREADY STARTED
HARNESSING THE OPPORTUNITY OF
THE I TEN. THROUGH.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
RELATED TO MAKING SURE PEOPLE
HAVE ACCESS TO PROFESSIONAL
LICENSES AND AN EFFORT THIS YEAR
TO ALLOW ITEM HOLDERS TO APPLY
FOR LOCAL BUSINESS LIFE AND SO
THEY CAN START UP. A BUSINESS
AND SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES I'M CERTAINLY THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD COMMENTS IN
THE ANALYSIS I THINK DEMONSTRATE
THAT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY. TO
STRENGTHEN OUR ANTI POVERTY
EFFORTS BUT ALSO TO IMPROVE OUR
TAX SYSTEM BY INCORPORATING
NECESSARY MECHANISMS THAT
REFLECT THE FULL BREADTH OF WHO
ARE TAX PAIN POPULATION IN
CALIFORNIA IS. ECONOMIC
INCLUSION ALLOWS US TO CONTINUE
ADVANCING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT PARTY
AFFECTS MANY WORKERS REGARDLESS
OF THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS IN
FACT FOR HOUSEHOLDS THAT ARE
HEADED BY AN UNDOCUMENTED
INDIVIDUAL. THERE ARE EARNING
APPROXIMATELY SIXTEEN THOUSAND
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS PER YEAR SO
IT'S REALLY CRITICAL THAT AT
THIS TIME WE REALLY LOOK AT
OPPORTUNITIES TO REMOVE THESE
EXCLUSIONS. I'M FROM THE STATE
EITC AND TO BUILD THE NECESSARY
MECHANISMS FOR ALL TAX FILERS.
THIS ALSO COMES AT A REALLY
CRITICAL TIME WHEN FEDERALLY THE
GOVERNMENT IS LOOKING AT
STRIPPING AWAY ALL FORMS OF
IMMIGRATION RELIEF FOR
INDIVIDUALS SO THOSE ARE DR
POPULATIONS AS A TPS POPULATIONS.
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL CONTINUE
TO HAVE A FEDERAL IF I SO
SECURITY NUMBER BUT THEY WILL BE
CUT OUT OF THE EITC MOVING
FORWARD WHEN THEY LOSE THEIR
IMMIGRATION RELIEF. OUR
COMMITMENT TO ELIMINATING
POVERTY SHOULD NOT STOP AT AN
INDIVIDUAL'S IMMIGRATION STATUS
THIS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD A
MORE EQUITABLE POLICY AND TO
IMPROVE THE IDC'S IMPACT AMONG
LOW INCOME WORKING FAMILIES. WE
THINK THE AUTHORS FOR THEIR
LEADERSHIP AND OUR YOUR SUPPORT
FOR THIS LEGISLATION THANK YOU.
SO IN MEMORY AS THANK YOU FOR
JOINING US.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MADAM CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE
WITH YOU THE IMPORTANCE OF AB
TWO ZERO SIX SIX.
THE KELLEY I T. C. EXTENSION
BILL.
POVERTY AFFECTS ALL OF US IT
IMPACTS OUR LOCAL ECONOMIES IN
OUR QUALITY OF LIFE.
CURRENTLY OVER FIVE POINT FIVE
MILLION PEOPLE IN THE STATE LIVE
IN POVERTY. AT APPROXIMATELY
SEVENTY NINE POINT FOUR PERCENT
OF THOSE IN POVERTY LIVE IN
FAMILIES WITH AT LEAST ONE
WORKING ADULT.
WORKING FAMILIES ACROSS
CALIFORNIA ARE STRUGGLING TO
MAKE ENDS MEET AND THEREFORE
CANNOT CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR LOCAL
ECONOMY OR BUILD FINANCIAL
SECURITY. THIS CAUSES A RIPPLE
EFFECT THAT LEAVES OUR
COMMUNITIES WITHOUT THE ADEQUATE
RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR
UPWARD ECONOMIC MOBILITY.
THE GOOD NEWS IS WE HAVE THE
POWER TO CHANGE THESE OUTCOMES
WITH THE POWER TO PUT MONEY INTO
THE POCKETS OF WORKING FAMILIES.
WHO HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT?
CAN'T GET AHEAD.
EXPANDING THE CAL.
CAL E. I. T. C. TO INCLUDE LOW
INCOME WORKING ADULTS AGED
EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR LOW
INCOME WORKING SENIORS OVER THE
AGE OF SIXTY FIVE. AND LOW
INCOME WORKING IMMIGRANT
FAMILIES WITH INDIVIDUAL TAX
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS IS THE
RIGHT MOVE FOR CALIFORNIA.
NOW IS THE TIME TO EXPAND THE
KELLY I TO SEE AND MAKE IT
INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE.
FOR ALL LOW INCOME WORKING
FAMILIES
THE CALIFORNIA EARNED INCOME TAX
CREDIT HAS A PROVEN RECORD OF
BEING ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE.
POVERTY FIGHTING TOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA.
BY WORKING TO ALLEVIATE POVERTY
BY EXPANDING KELLY I TO SEE.
CALIFORNIA WILL UPLIFT THE MOST
ECONOMICALLY DISTRESSED
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE.
WE KNOW THE PROGRAM WORKS IT IS
EFFICIENT EFFECTIVE AND
EQUITABLE.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE

ESTABLISHES THE MAXIMUM PERSONAL
INCOME TAX TURN UP TO FIVE
THOUSAND FOR INDIVIDUALS EARNING
A HUNDRED THOUSAND OR LESS.
THE LEGISLATURE MAY DETERMINE
THE EFFICACY OF THIS COURT AFTER
THE FOUR YEAR SUNSET DATE.
HOME CARE IS ROOTED IN THE
PRINCIPLE THAT OLDER ADULTS
SHOULD BE FREE TO AGE AT HOME
WITH THE LEVEL OF CARE THEY NEED
TO BE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE.
PRIVATE PAY HOME CARE PROVIDERS
WORK HARD TO ENSURE THEIR
CLIENTS ARE ABLE TO LIVE AS
INDEPENDENTLY AS POSSIBLE
RECEIVING A SUPPORT THEY NEED.
TO MAINTAIN A HIGH QUALITY OF
LIFE AS YOU KNOW OUR POPULATION
IS AGING RAPIDLY. I'M A MINUTE
CUT SOME OF THE STUFF OUT AND.
WITH ME TODAY'S ANNOUNCED USES
BE THIS.
UNTIL THE PROVIDE A FEW
COMMENTS.
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS ARE MANY
MISDIAGNOSIS IT THIS TIME I'M
THE OWNER OF PRICE TAG CARE HOME
CARE AGENCY HERE IN SACRAMENTO.
AND BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR TEN
YEARS AND WE PROVIDE A SHORT
TERM OR LONG TERM CARE FOR
FAMILIES. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED OF
THEM IN A EVERY YEAR.
AND THAT WE'RE SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL FROM OUR EXPERIENCE SENIORS
PREFERRED TO STAY AT HOME NINE
OUT OF TEN AND THEY EAT SO THEY
IN THE NEED TO REMAIN A SAFE AND
ENGAGE THAT HALL. WITH HOME CARE
SERVICES THERE'S A HUGE HUGE
IMPACT ON THE REDUCTION IN FALSE
TRIPS TO THE HOSPITAL.
COMPLIANCE WITH THEIR MEDICAL
CARE.
AND CARE GIVERS HELPS BOUGHT
CHANGES IN THEIR CONDITION THAT
THEY CONVEY TO THE FAMILY AND
THEY CONVEY TO MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS SAVING HEALTHCARE
COSTS FROM PREVENTING. ISSUES.
ADDITIONALLY HOME CARE SUPPORT
SUPPORTS THE FAMILY AT OFTEN
CASES AND AT FAMILY MEMBERS.
CARING FOR NO THE PERSON DIED
BEFORE THE WEATHER CARE FOR
BECAUSE THE STRESS AND
ENGAGEMENT AND CARE FOR THEM.
OF.
FOR THOSE AT HOME IT'S IMPORTANT
TO AVOID ISOLATION AND
DEPRESSION WHICH IS VERY COMMON.
SO LET'S WARY THOUGHT FOR
EXAMPLE TAKE A RECENT CLIENT OF
OURS MISTER JARVIS HE'S AN
EIGHTY FOUR YEAR OLD MAN WHO WAS
HIS CHARGE FROM A HOSPITAL OR
HOSPICE. HE CAME HOME BED BOUND
STUCK IN BED.
AND WITH LITTLE LIFE LEFT LEFT
IN HIM ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO A
FAMILY WAS AROUND BUT DIDN'T
HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO HELP THEM I
SAID AS MUCH AS SHE NEEDED.
BANG GAZE TO SERVICES OF HOME
CARE.
JARVIS.
ESTABLISH A GOOD REPORT WITH
HIS CARE GIVERS HE STARTED
PLAYING CARD GAMES WITH THEM HE
STARTED TO BE ABLE TO WALK.
HE STARTED TEACHING THEM GAMES.
AND.
NO.
HE IS ENJOYING THE BEST QUALITY
OF LIFE STILL A HOSPICE.
BUT FOR THE LITTLE TIME HE HAS
LEFT IT HAS MADE HUGE IMPACT FOR
HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
THE HOME CARE SERVICES ARE
PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE
UNFORTUNATELY I DO THAT. AND I
KNOW SOME PEOPLE CAN AFFORD AND
SOME DON'T THOSE ON THE HIGHER
LEVEL INCOME CAN AFFORD IT BY
THOSE IN THE VERY LOW LEVEL OF
INCOME MAYBE CAN HEAL GET HELP
FROM MEDI CAL AN IN HOME SUPPORT
SERVICES. AND THE ONCE IN THE
MIDDLE.
CANNOT SO FAR THAT'S WHAT WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU FOR YOUR
SUPPORT ON THIS BILL.

SUBSTANTIAL CONCERNS FOR OUR

THE ARGUMENTS ARE THE.
THE POINT IS THAT THERE IS A
QUESTION IN THE LAW.
IN THE OLD DAYS WHEN A.
.
WHEN THERE WAS A TAX LIABILITY.
IT WOULD GO TO THE COURTHOUSE
STEPS OR SOMETHING WE BE DONE
VERY QUICKLY NOW THINGS GO ON
THE INTERNET MAY TAKE SEVERAL
DAYS.
SO IN THE OLD DAYS WHO WAS CLEAR
YOU EITHER YOU COULD DECLARE
BANKRUPTCY BEFORE THE TAX
AUCTION.
BUT NOT.
DURING IT AND THAT WAS PRETTY
CLEAR. NOW THAT HE CAN GO FOR
THREE DAYS THE JUDGES SAID HE'S
NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS.
THE AUCTION HAS ENDED BUT IT
KINDA BEGAN AND SO WE'RE TRYING
TO GET CLARITY AND IN THIS CASE
TO BE GOING TO GO INTO
BANKRUPTCY. YOU HAVE TO DO IT
BEFORE.

ADD TO SHORT THE SUN STATE
SUNSET DATA FIVE YEARS.
TODAY I'M PROUD TO PRESENT AB
TWENTY NINE FORTY FIVE WHICH
PROMOTES JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR
THE PHYSICALLY DISABLED. BY
OFFERING A TAX INCENTIVE FOR
BUSINESSES TO EMPLOY PERSONS
WITHOUT FUNCTIONAL HEARING.
DEAFENED HARD OF HEARING
INDIVIDUALS ARE NORMAL PEOPLE
WHO ARE CAPABLE OF CONTRIBUTING
TO CSUS
TO SOCIETY IN A MEN'S WAYS.
AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I HAVE TO
DEAF BROTHERS AND.
AND THEY'RE BOTH THE MAYES
INDIVIDUALS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT.
BUT. I THINK A LOT OF TIMES.
.
IN SOCIETY.
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES ARE
STIGMATIZED TO SET THE SOCIALLY
OSTRACIZED.
AND BARRED FROM EMPLOYMENT.
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SCARED OF
THEY DON'T KNOW HOW THEY WOULD
COMMUNICATE.
WITH MODERN TECHNOLOGY. IT'S SO
MUCH EASIER TO COMMUNICATE TO BE
ABLE TO.
YA WITH THE DEAF AND HARD OF
HEARING COMMUNITY.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE FORTY
EIGHT PERCENT OF THE DEAF AND
HARD OF HEARING PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA ARE NOT IN THE
WORKFORCE UNEMPLOYED.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF
PROLONGED UNEMPLOYMENT
CORRELATES WITH SIGNIFICANT
INCREASES.
AN ANXIETY DEPRESSION LOSS OF
CONFIDENCE LOW SELF ESTEEM.
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
THE SEAS ARE CAPABLE PEOPLE WHO
CAN CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SOCIETY.
WE NEED TO REMOVE THE BARRIERS
AND THIS IS ONE WAY TO PRO IS TO
PROVIDE AN INCENTIVE.
AFTER BUSINESSES TO HIRE MORE.
DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING
INDIVIDUALS BUT REALLY.
INDIVIDUALS ACROSS THE BOARD
WITH DISABILITIES AND.
SO I IT WORKS WITH THE EXISTING
STATE INFRASTRUCTURE TO MINIMIZE
THE ADMINISTRATION COSTS AND
WILL ULTIMATELY BENEFIT.
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
BY SOCIETY.
BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND
ATTENTION AS MATT I DO HAVE A
WITNESS SUPPORT.
AS SHERRIE FARINA WITH NOR CAL.
CENTER ON.
DEAFNESS AND. THANK YOU AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES.
HELLO EVERYBODY MY NAME IS
SHERRY FARINA.
AND I'M THE CEO OF NOR HEALTH
SERVICES FOR THE DEAF AND HARD
OF HEARING.
SO WE COVER TWENTY FOUR NORTHERN
EASTERN COUNTIES.
AND. WE HAD AGENCIES WHAT WE
SERVICE PEOPLE FROM THE BIRTH
HIS TOMB A FEW WELL.
AND WE CONTRACT WITH VARIOUS.
GOVERNMENTAL AND AGENCIES
ENTERPRISES LIKE DEPARTMENT OF
REHAB FROM EMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENT CENTERS ANTI FF
DEATH ACCESS PROGRAMS.
AND ALTA REGIONAL CENTER. UP ALL
OF THOSE PROGRAMS PROVIDE
EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE FOR A
VARIETY OF IN A VARIETY OF
DIFFERENT WAYS OF ITS JOB
READINESS FOR PLACEMENT IF AND
TRAIN IT TRAINING AND THAT'S
NECESSARY FOR PLACEMENT.
AND LIKE HE JUST MENTIONED
ASSEMBLY MEMBER. MENTIONED ON A
FORTY EIGHT PERCENT ON DEAF AND
HARD OF HEARING INDIVIDUALS.
AND IN TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN
I'M.
IN THAT REPORT SAYS THE DEAF
PEOPLE EMPLOYEE EMPLOYMENT IN
THE IN THE UNITED STATES IN TWO
THOUSAND SIXTEEN IS LOW AND THE
LARGEST PERCENT IS FORTY SEVEN
PERCENT OF DEAF AND HARD OF
HEARING PEOPLE ARE NOT IN THE
EMPLOYMENT.
I AM NOT EMPLOYED AND SOME AND
OUR SPELLS THE STUDENTS ARE WITH
EARLY RETIREMENT.
BUT WE KNOW THAT THERE IS A
LARGE PERCENT OF THEM THAT ON SS
I AND SSD I. RELIANT ON THAT FOR
DEAF PEOPLE WHO WORK FULL TIME
AND ALSO WITH NAY REPORT NATURAL
AND IN ANNUAL AND CRAM WHICH IS
SAYING SIMILAR TO I'M HEARING
INDIVIDUALS AND POPULATION.
SO EDUCATIONAL GOAL ACADEMICS
AND.
I WOULD SAY AND THEY ADVANCED
DEGREES AT CETERA AT THIS HELPS
THEM TO ADD RECEIVE MORE JOB
OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMPLOYMENT.
SEWED PEOPLE PEOPLE THAT ARE
DEAF WHAT IS IT WITH A
DISABILITIES AND ALSO OTHER
DISABILITIES HAVE ADDITIONAL
CHALLENGES. AND MOST OF THE THAT
MOST THE BARRIERS THAT WE
FORESEE OUT THERE IN THE
COMMUNITIES HAD ISSUE.
AND SO THAT PREVENTS EMPLOYERS
FIVE HIRING DEAF PEOPLE.
BUT AND THOSE THAT DO HIRE THEM
AND ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH
TAX CONSEQUENCE TACT IN THE WEEK
PROVIDE CONTINUOUS SUPPORT SO
THAT THEY CAN HIRE MORE DEAF
INDIVIDUALS. LIKE FAT ACTS.
I SAFE WAY TARGETS.
AMAZON A GOOD WILL ETCETERA.
AND SO THAT WE PROVIDE A TAX EX
OR THERE ARE TAX INCENTIVES FOR
THEM INCENTIVES FOR THEM TO PUT
THE TO REDUCE THE VARIOUS FOR
DEAF PEOPLE. IN THEIR EMPLOYMENT
SO WE ASK FOR YOU TO SUB SUPPORT
THE BILL.
AND ASSEMBLY BILL TO NINE FOUR.
BY.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
