GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS AND GAS
IT GIVES ME TREMENDOUS PRIDE AND
HONOR TO ADVISE ON BEHALF OF THE
LGBT Q. LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS TO
PRESENT HR FORTY ONE WHICH
DECLARES JUNE TO BE PRIDE MONTH
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
EACH YEAR JUNE MARKS THE
ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL
UPRISING THEY GAVE BIRTH TO THE
MODERN LGBT Q. CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT INDEED THIS IS OUR
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF THAT
RIGHT IN NEW YORK CITY THEY GAVE
SO MANY OF US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
LIVE OUT CELLS OUT.
PROUD IN FULL -- IN FULL JOINED
THAT OF OUR RIGHTS.
THERE'S A STATE WITH AS MANY
BLESSINGS AS WE HAVE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA I THINK WE CAN ALL
AGREE THAT DIVERSITY IS AMOUNTS
OUR GREATEST BLESSINGS.
TODAY THE LEGISLATORS NATURE
WITH THE LEGISLATURE IS
REPRESENTED BY THE LARGEST LGBTQ
CAUCUS IN THE HISTORY OF
CALIFORNIA.
WE ARE COMPRISED OF EIGHT OPENLY
LGBT Q. MEMBERS INCLUDING ONE
CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER THE FIRST
IN OUR STATE'S HISTORY.
THIS COMMUNITY HAS COME SUCH A
VERY VERY LONG WAY AND WHAT
SEEMS OFTEN LIKE A RELATIVELY
SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
IT WAS NOT THAT LONG AGO THE
DEBATES ON THIS FLOOR WITH THE
OUTCOMES WERE NEVER CERTAIN IN
OFTEN WERE NOT POSITIVE.
IN FACT IT WAS JUST A FEW YEARS
AGO WHEN VOTERS A CALIFORNIA
WENT TO THE BALLOT IN PASSED
PROPOSITION EIGHT TO NINE MANY
OF US THE RIGHT TO MARRY.
WHILE THE OUTCOME OF THAT WAS
EVENTUALLY SUCCESSFUL IN LOVE
DID IN FACT WHEN WE KNOW THAT
THERE ARE STILL CHALLENGES IN
THE COMMUNITY.
AND WHILE WE REJOICE IN THE
TWENTY FIFTEEN SUPREME COURT
DECISION TO GRANTED US MARRIAGE
EQUALITY WE KNOW THAT OUR RIGHTS
ARE FAR FROM ONE IN THERE TO IN
TOTALITY.
IN FACT FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT
SUGGEST THAT OUR MOVEMENT HAS
ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING IT MUST
ACCOMPLISH THAT IS FAR FROM THE
TRUTH.
IN FACT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO THE
SUPREME COURT RULED IN FAVOR OF
A BAKER WHO REFUSED TO SELL A
CAKE TO A LESBIAN COUPLE SEEKING
TO GET MARRIED.
MEMBERS THE HUMAN RIGHTS
CAMPAIGN HAS REPORTED THAT AT
LEAST TEN TRANSGENDER WOMEN.
HAVE BEEN VIOLENTLY MURDERED IN
OUR NATION IN.
TWENTY NINETEEN ALL OF THESE
WOMEN ARE BLACK.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE RECOGNIZE
THE FOR SO MUCH OF OUR MOVEMENT
THERE CONTINUES TO BE VIOLENCE
AND DISCRIMINATION PARTICULARLY
AGAINST OUR TRANSGENDER
COMMUNITY MEMBERS.
AND MISTER SPEAKER I'D LIKE TO
TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THEIR
NAMES ALLOWED BECAUSE YOU MUST
KNOW THEIR NAMES TO KNOW WHAT IS
GOING ON IN THE STREETS.
AND IN THE COMMUNITIES NOT JUST
HERE IN CALIFORNIA ACROSS THE
NATION DANA MARTIN.
DOESN'T MEAN WHERE A SHANTI
CAMERON CLEAR LEGADO.
MALAYSIA BOOKER TO ME GO
WASHINGTON PARIS CAMERON.
CHINA OUT LENZI.
CHANEL SCURLOCK INS ALWAYS
SPEARS.
ALL CHANGE GENDER BLACK WOMEN
ALL MURDERED ALL IN THE LAST SIX
MONTHS.
THERE ARE MANY CHALLENGES THAT
CONTINUE TO FACE OUR COMMUNITY.
AND I LEGISLATIVE LGBT CAUCUS
WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP CALIFORNIA
ON THE LEADING EDGE OF A QUALITY
WHEN IT COMES TO CREATE PEOPLE.
AND WE APPRECIATE THE SOLIDARITY
TO SO MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN
STANDING WITH US IN THIS ONGOING
STRUGGLE.
MEMBERS TODAY WE ARE HONORING
SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE
THE PROGRESS IN THE STATE
POSSIBLE.
THERE ADVOCATE EIGHT PEOPLE
WHO'VE CONTINUE TO FIGHT AN
ADVOCATE FOR EQUAL RIGHTS.
THERE LGBT Q. ACTIVISTS ARTISTS
CULINARY EXPERTS ELECTED
OFFICIALS.
BUSINESS LEADERS COMMUNITY
LEADERS.
AND EVEN AN ATHLETE.
THAT'S SURPRISING FOR SOME OF US.
THEY COME FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE.
AND WE ARE SO VERY PROUD TO HAVE
THEM HERE IN THE CAPITAL TODAY
TO HONOR THEM.
IN MEMBERS ON YOUR DESKS YOU'LL
NOTICE A BAG WITH A LAPEL PIN.
AND A NOTE.
APPEAR VITA BRACELET FOR WHICH
10% OF THE PROCEEDS WILL GO TO
BENEFIT SAN DIEGO'S LGBT PRIDE
CELEBRATION.
MEMBERS I WANT TO END WITH THIS
NOTE. 40% OF HOMELESS YOUTH.
IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ.
AND THIS YEAR THE CAUCUS HAS
PURCHASED A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
BACKPACKS.
STARTING TODAY WILL BEGIN
ACCEPTING DONATIONS TO FILL
THESE BACKPACKS WITH THE
ESSENTIAL NEEDS FOR THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE.
WHO ARE LIVING WITHOUT SHELTER
OFTEN BECAUSE OF WHO THEY ARE?
SO WE TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
CELEBRATE BECAUSE THAT IS
EXACTLY WHAT PRIDE IS.
BUT WE NEVER EVER FORGET THAT
THIS MOVEMENT STARTED IN A VERY
DARK PLACE AFTER YEARS OF
OPPRESSION MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY NO LONGER WILLING TO
TAKE IT STANDING UP SPEAKING OUT
ACTING OUT.
AND AND AS A RESULT AND
DEVELOPING AND ACQUIRING.
MORE RIGHTS MORE
RESPONSIBILITIES MORE EQUALITY.
I STAND HERE TODAY PROUD TO BE
INTRODUCED H. R. FORTY ONE TO
DECLARE PRIDE MONTH IN
CALIFORNIA.
AND I HOPE THAT YOU'LL JOIN ME
IN DOING SO NOT JUST HERE TODAY
WITH YOUR VOTE.
BUT IN YOUR HOME COMMUNITIES
MANY OF THOSE COMMUNITIES WHERE
PEOPLE LIKE ME STILL STRUGGLE TO
BE WHO THEY ARE.
WITH THE KIND OF DIGNITY THAT
THEY DESERVE AS CALIFORNIANS.
SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE MISTER SPEAKER WHEN IT'S
APPROPRIATE ASSET THE FIRST WILL
BE OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISS GLORIA MISTER

LATINO LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS IN A
PROUD CO AUTHOR I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF HR. FORTY ONE FOR
LGBT Q. PEOPLE COMING OUT IS A
SIGNIFICANT STEP AND WE'VE BEEN.
LIVING FREE LEE AND
AUTHENTICALLY.
ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE LACK TEEN
ACTS COMMUNITY.
HOW DO WE TAKE HERE WATCHING
NEXT HERITAGE CAN BE TRACED BACK
TO PRE COLUMBIAN TIMES IN MEXICO
THERE'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE HAVE
HAD A LONG HISTORY OF
RECOGNIZING?
MACHE PEOPLE OR YOUNG PEOPLE
ASSIGNED MALE AT BIRTH WHO
EMBRACE IDENTITIES AS FEMALE OR
NON BINARY.
MACHE INDIVIDUALS ARE OFTEN
CELEBRATED AS CORNERSTONES OF
OUR COMMUNITY.
SAME SEX RELATIONS ARE WELL
DOCUMENTED IN THE MAYAN
CIVILIZATION ENCOMPASSING WHAT
WE KNOW TODAY IS PORTIONS OF
MEDICAL.
WHAT A MAILLET BILLY'S HONDURAS
AND EL SALVADOR ESPECIALLY IN
RITUALS AND OTHER CEREMONIES?
TODAY THE LATINO POPULATION
MAKES A THIRTY NINE POINT 3% OF
CALIFORNIANS AND ALTHOUGH WE
HAVE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN
ADVANCING LGBTQ EQUALITY THE
LGBT Q. IN THE WATCHING ACTS
COMMUNITY ST STILL FACE.
TREMENDOUS CHALLENGES RELATED TO
IMMIGRATION.
LANGUAGE ACCESS BARRIERS
VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT AND HIV
AND HEALTH INEQUITY.
THANKFULLY CALIFORNIA IS IN RICH
WITH PASSIONATE AND DEDICATED
INDIVIDUALS THAT PROVIDE
REGIONAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS
LIKE BROWN BOY PROJECT IN EAST
BAY.
AND TO REVOLUTION IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE WERE ESTABLISHED TO
PROMOTE EQUALITY IN ACCESS FOR
PEOPLE WHO SEEK SUPPORT AND LOVE
AND ACCEPTANCE.
THE INTERSECTION BETWEEN THE
LGBT Q. AND THE WATCHING NEXT
COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO BE A
VITAL PART OF CALIFORNIA'S
HISTORY AND IDENTITY.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
TODAY ON H. R..
FORTY ONE THANK YOU MISTER
MANTAS.
MISTER DAVID CHIU YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER
COLLEAGUES AS CHAIR OF THE API
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS I RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF HR FORTY ONE
IN CELEBRATION OF PRIDE MONTH.
THIS YEAR'S PRIDE CELEBRATION
MARKS THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY
OF THE NINETEEN SIXTY NINE
STONEWALL RIOTS.
HOWEVER THREE YEARS BEFORE
STONEWALL THIS MOVEMENT WAS
ALREADY TAKING SHAPE IN PART
BECAUSE OF AN API TRANS GENDER
ACTIVISTS.
IN THE TENDERLOIN NEIGHBORHOOD
OF MY DISTRICT IN SAN FRANCISCO.
SIMILAR TO STONE WALL.
TAMERA CHING WAS INVOLVED IN A
REVOLT AGAINST POLICE HARASSMENT.
WHEN POLICE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE
HER AND OTHERS FROM A LOCAL
RESTAURANT?
COMPTON'S CAFETERIA CHAOS
ERUPTED.
THIS EVENT RESULTED IN
ESTABLISHING TRANSGENDER
ADVOCACY PROGRAMS WITHIN SAN
FRANCISCO'S POLICE DEPARTMENT
AND PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENTS
AND BEYOND.
ANOTHER PIVOTAL MOMENT FOR LGBT
Q. HISTORY ALSO INVOLVED AN
ASIAN AMERICAN ACTIVISTS.
WHILE SERVING IN THE US ARMY
LIEUTENANT DAN CHOI CAME OUT ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION WHEN
CHALLENGING.
DON'T ASK DON'T TELL.
HIS ACTIVISM RESULTED IN THE
REPEAL OF THIS DISCRIMINATORY
POLICY.
JUST REMEMBER THE ACTIONS OF DAN.
AND TAMERA AND COUNTLESS OTHER
BRAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE
FOUGHT FOR QUALITY AND JUSTICE
BY SUPPORTING HR FORTY ONE TO
CELEBRATE OUR LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU MISS CHIU DOCTOR WEBER.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF
HR FORTY ONE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA.
LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS WE
CELEBRATE THIS MONTH CALL PRIDE.
THE STORY OF LGBT AMERICANS HAS
BEEN ONE OF MARGINALIZATION
DISCRIMINATION AND THE STRUGGLE
FOR LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.
AFRICAN AMERICANS RECOGNIZE
THOSE STRUGGLES IN THOSE VOICES
THAT ARE TOO OFTEN NEGLECTED
FROM HISTORY.
THE BLACK LGBT MEMBER HAS BEEN
AT THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT
FOR JUSTICE AND EQUALITY LONG
BEFORE STONE WALL.
AND YET THEY WERE PRESIDENT
STONE WALL MARCIA JOHNSON WAS A
TRANSGENDER RIGHTS ACTIVIST WAS
ONE OF THE PROMINENT FIGURES.
OF THE NINETEEN SIXTY NINE
STONEWALL RIOT FIFTY YEARS AGO.
IT IS INTERESTING THAT WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR
RIGHTS AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO
SECURE THEM.
WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO TALK ABOUT
THE FAMOUS PEOPLE WE TALK ABOUT
AUDRE LORDE AND JAMES BALDWIN
AND BAYARD RUSTIN AND BARBARA
SMITH AND PHIL WILSON.
ALL OF THOS IN THE FOREFRONT OF
THE STRUGGLE.
BUT SOMETIMES WE FORGET THOSE
WERE NOT THE ACTIVISTS IN TERMS
OF THE FOREFRONT BUT THOSE WHO
JUST EVERY DAY LGBT PEOPLE
TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIVES.
TRYING TO BASICALLY BE HAPPY IN
WHO THEY ARE.
I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF L. G. B. T.
MEMBERS WHO WERE MY STUDENTS AND
MY COLLEAGUES.
AND WATCH THEM STRUGGLED NOT
ONLY ON BEING JUST L. G. B. T..
BUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE
THEY FIT IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY
IN THE BLACK CHURCHES IN THE
BLACK SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.
AND OFTENTIMES THEY SUFFER A
DOUBLE IF NOT A TRIPLE WHAMMY
EVERY NOW AND THEN IF THEY'RE
FEMALE IF THEY'RE BLACK AND
THEIR L. G. B. T..
IT BECOMES DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY
YOURSELF AND TO BE A PART OF A
COMMUNITY.
I'VE SEEN SO MANY OF MY FRIENDS
WHO ARE REALLY TORN BECAUSE THEY
CAN'T COME OUT OR THEY DON'T
FEEL THEY CAN OR IF THEY DO COME
OUT.
THEY FEEL THEY WILL LOSE THE
LOVE AND RESPECT.
OF THE FOLKS WHO CARE ABOUT THEM.
ONE OF THE MOST TRAGIC
EXPERIENCES I HAD WAS WHEN I
LOST ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES A VERY
GOOD FRIEND DR DANI SCARBOROUGH.
WAS A DANCER AT SAN DIEGO STATE
ONE OF MY FACULTY ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES SOMEONE THAT I LOVE
DEARLY THAT MY CHILDREN
CONSIDERED THE GODFATHER.
AND THEY LOVED HIM DEARLY AND HE
WAS A HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
VICTIMS OF AIDS.
IT WAS INTERESTING BECAUSE EVEN
DESPITE ALL OF THE CARE THAT WE
HAVE FOR HIM.
HE WAS SO AFRAID THAT SOMEONE
WOULD KNOW THAT HE WAS GAY.
WHICH I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING
BECAUSE WE ALL KNEW HE WAS GAY.
AND IT WAS KIND OF A LARRY IS
WHEN HE CAME OUT AND SAID YOU
KNOW I HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE
LIFESTYLE.
AND I SAID YOU MEAN YOU STRAIGHT
OUT WE WAS JUST SHOCKED BECAUSE
WE ALL KNEW HE WAS GAY.
BUT THE FEAR THAT HE WOULD THAT
WE WOULD REJECT HIM.
EVEN AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME WAS
UNEMPLOYED JUST AMAZING TO ALL
OF US ALL OF HIS STUDENTS IN THE
COLLEAGUES IN WHO LOVED HIM SO
DEARLY.
AND THE FEAR THAT WE WOULD
REJECT HIM IF WE KNEW HE WAS GAY
AND YET EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM
SAYS I'M TRULY GAY I AM
WONDERFUL AND EVERYONE LOVED
IMPORT.
SO I OFTEN THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH
WE MISS AS A COMMUNITY.
BECAUSE WE OFTENTIMES DON'T LET
PEOPLE BASICALLY RELAX AND TO BE
THEMSELVES AND BE ACCEPTED.
AN ETHNIC COMMUNITIES HAVE
DIFFICULTY DEALING WITH THE LGBT
COMMUNITY WOULD WE DON'T WE
DON'T WE US ALMOST AS IFTO SAY.
I WON'T ASK AND YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TELL AND WE'LL ALL BE OKAY.
AND YET WE ALL AREN'T OKAY.
SO IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THIS THAT THE
THE COMMUNITIES OF COLOR SUFFER
SO SEVERELY.
IT WOULD HAS TALKED ABOUT THIS
PARTICULAR POPULATION BECAUSE
SOMETIMES THEY DON'T FIT IN WITH --
THE WHAT THE LGBT COMMUNITY
THAT'S PREDOMINANTLY WHITE THEY
DON'T FIT AND CULTURALLY THAT'LL
FIT IN IN MANY WAYS AND SO
THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO FIND THEIR
OWN IDENTITY.
AND SOMETIMES OWN COMMUNITY
DEMANDS THAT THEY NOT BE FULL
EXPRESSIVE OF WHO THEY ARE.
IT IS INTERESTING TO ME THAT THE
BLACK LG P. L. G. B. T.
COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO SUFFER.
THE SEVEREST FORMS OF
DISCRIMINATION IN TERMS OF IT
YOU JUST HEARD THE ONLY SEVEN
INDIVIDUALS KILL THIS YEAR WHO
TRANS GENDER ALL BLACK WOMEN.
UNBELIEVABLE THAT THAT EXIST AND
YET IT IS NOT THE FANFARE AND IS
NOT WHAT WE HEAR ABOUT PROBLEM
BECAUSE THEY FALL INTO THE
CATEGORY OF THINGS THAT DON'T
UPSET US A LOT.
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO
ARE STILL SUFFERING WITH WITH
AIDS AND NOT GETTING THE CARE
THAT THEY NEED?
IT IS THE AFRICAN AMERICAN
COMMUNITY I REMEMBER VERY
CLEARLY WHEN ONE OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES A FEW
YEARS AGO WAS ASK ABOUT.
BUT AIDS IN BLACK COMMUNITIES HE
BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT AFRICA AND
SOMEONE SAYS NO NO NO I'M
TALKING ABOUT WASHINGTON DC I'M
TALKING ABOUT NEW YORK I'M
TALKING ABOUT THE UNITED STATES.
AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE
HIGH NUMBERS OF ALL OF THE NEW
INCIDENTS ARE BASICALLY IN BLACK
AND BROWN COMMUNITIES WE HAVE A
LONG WAY TO GO TO RECOGNIZE THAT
THESE ISSUES ARE ISSUES FOR ALL
OF US.
THAT WE NEED TO PARTICIPATE IN
SO I STAND TODAY ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS THAT HAS BEGUN TO ISSUE
WOULD DEAL WITH ISSUES OF HIV IN
BLACK COMMUNITIES IN OTHER
PLACES. TO SAY THAT IT IS TIME
NOW THAT WE AS A COMMUNITY STEP
UP AND RECOGNIZE AND SUPPORT ALL
OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL
OF THOSE WERE PART OF THE LGBT
COMMUNITY AND THAT INCLUDES
THOSE OF COLOR.
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS I ASK
THAT YOU STRONGLY SUPPORT HR
FORTY ONE THAT HERE TODAY BUT
YOU ALSO GIVE SPACE FOR OUR
FOLKS TO BE PROUD OF WHO THEY
ARE.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT PRIDE MONTH
IS ALL ABOUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOU I VOTE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
SPEAKER MEMBERS OF ACR NINETY
NINE IN RECOGNITION ALSO OF EL
TO BE PRIDE MONTH IS A
RESOLUTION.
CONDEMNING CONVERSION THERAPY AS
MANY OF YOU MAY RECALL IN THE
PREVIOUS YEAR WE HAD A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THERE IS ASSEMBLY
BILL TWENTY NINE FORTY THREE TO
QUALIFY CONVERSION THERAPY.
AS WHAT IT IS A FRAUDULENT
PRACTICE AT THE SAME TIME IT
BECAME READILY.
OUT THAT A NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS
WERE IN OPPOSITION THAT FELT
THAT THIS WOULD BAN THE BIBLE
AND AS SUBSEQUENTLY TO THAT --
TYPE OF RHETORIC I FIND MYSELF
VISITING A NUMBER OF COLLEAGUES
DISTRICTS.
INCLUDING THE MEMBER
REPRESENTING THOUSAND OAKS THE
MEMBER REPRESENTING ST BERNARD
YOU KNOW THE MEMBER REPRESENTING
CONCORD AND PART OF THOSE
DISCUSSIONS WERE SUCH THAT.
I FOUND THAT THERE WAS AN
UNLIKELY ALLY SHIP THAT WAS
RECOGNIZE WITH RESPECT TO KERN
VERSION THERAPY IN FACT THE
LEADERS THAT I MET WITH.
ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
INDIVIDUALS OF THE LGBT
COMMUNITY.
SHOULD BE LOVED AND CELEBRATED
AS WHO THEY ARE AND THAT
CONVERSION THERAPY.
WAS A FRAUDULENT PRACTICE AND A
PERMISSION TO READ MISTER
SPEAKER.
WITHOUT OBJECTION.
IN FACT PART OF THESE
CONVERSATIONS.
WERE SO FRUITFUL THAT.
THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE
NATIONAL EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION
PENNED AN OP ED IN THE ORANGE
COUNTY REGISTER.
STATING THAT REPAIRED IF THEY'RE
P. IS WITHOUT EVIDENCE AS TO ITS
EFFICACY IT IS INCONSISTENT WITH
CHRISTIAN LIVING.
WE SUPPORT THE OPPOSITION TO
THIS PRACTICE THAT CAUSES HARM
TO THESE INDIVIDUALS THIS IS
CONTRARY TO THE NATURE OF THE
CHRISTIAN MESSAGE.
WHICH WHILE CALLING FOR CHANGE
IN ALL PEOPLE TO BE ORIENTED
TOWARDS CHRIST EVEN AT GREAT
SACRIFICE NEITHER FAVORS NOR
SUPPORTS ANY PRACTICE THAT
CAUSES ANY HARM.
MEMBERS THIS RESOLUTION BEFORE
US IS A SIMPLE RECOGNITION THAT
MEMBERS OF THE LGB COMMUNITY
SHOULD BE LOVED AND CELEBRATED
AS WHO THEY ARE.
BUT IN FACT THIS IS ALSO A
CULMINATION TO ALSO DEMONSTRATE
THAT THIS ENJOYS WIDE SUPPORT
WITH IT WITHIN THE EVANGELICAL
COMMUNITY.
WE FOUND THAT OFTENTIMES WE
WOULD FIND THAT THE LGBT
COMMUNITY WOULD BE AT ODDS WITH
THAT OF EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN
LEADERS BUT WE WE HAVE BEFORE US
HERE TODAY.
IS A CULMINATION OF THE HARD
WORK AND RECOGNIZING THAT ALL
THREE OF CALIFORNIANS SHOULD BE
RECOGNIZEDAS WHO THEY ARE AND
AND BRACED -- AND WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK PRIVATE.
THEY WERE SLOW MISS
KAMLAGER-DOVE.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER GOOD
AFTERNOON COLLEAGUES I LIKE TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM SILICON
VALLEY FOR INTRODUCING THIS BILL
I STAND AS A PROUD.
CO AUTHOR I WOULD LIKE TO
COMMEND HIM FOR HIS WORK TO
FACILITATE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN
THE LGBT COMMUNITY AND CHRISTIAN
LEADERS.
IN ORDER TO DEVELOP THIS
RESOLUTION.
YOU KNOW I'M SURE THAT MANY OF
US CELEBRATED PRIDE MONTH -- BY
PARTICIPATING IN LOCAL PARADES
AND THE COLORS AND THE GLITTER.
AND THE DANCE MUSIC WE'RE ALL
FINE BUT HOPEFULLY WE SAW.
A KALEIDOSCOPIC REPRESENTATION.
OF THE LGBT COMMUNITY.
IN SIZES IN AGES AND RACES AND
ETHNICITIES.
AND PROBABLY WE SAW [inaudible]
HOPE [inaudible]
LOVE [inaudible]
SADNESS STRENGTH.
RESILIENCE AND DETERMINATION.
IN THEIR EYES.
YOU KNOW LAST YEAR ONE OF THE
VERY FIRST VOTE THAT I TOOK ON
THIS FLOOR WAS ON CONVERSION
THERAPY.
AND I HADN'T BEEN HERE THAT LONG.
AND I WAS ACTUALLY AGHAST THAT
THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE
STILL TALKING ABOUT.
AND I REMEMBER SHARING THIS AT
BATH SHYING A LOCAL SYNAGOGUE IN
MY COMMUNITY IT IS THE FIRST
LGBT -- Q. SYNAGOGUE FOUNDED IN
THE WORLD.
I SHARED THIS WITH OUR MEMBERS
IN ATTENDANCE.
AND WAS RETURNED.
WITH SADNESS AND GAS THAT THIS
IN FACT WAS SOMETHING.
THAT WE WERE STILL TALKING ABOUT.
AS WE CONTINUE TO GRAPPLE WITH
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE WE KNOW
THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCHIS NOW
STARTING TO OPERATE MORE AND
MORE HOSPITALS.
THAT IS GREAT BECAUSE THAT IS
TALKING ABOUT HAVING GREATER
ACCESS TO CARE.
BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT WHICH
OPERATING THOSE HOSPITALS.
THEY WILL BE SHARING A VERY
PRESCRIPTIVE VALUE SYSTEM.
THAT HAS BEEN RESTRICTIVE
TOWARDS AND BIASED AGAINST WOMEN
AND MEMBERS OF THE LGBT
COMMUNITY.
AS WE BEGAN TO TALK ABOUT HOW WE
ARE GOING TO FIND COMPASSION AND
LOVE AND EMPATHY WITH HOW WE
COMMUNICATE.
WITH OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND OUR
FRIENDS.
LET'S THINK ABOUT THE WORDS THAT
ARE IN THIS RESOLUTION
[inaudible]
AND NO.
THAT THE LIVES OF OUR LGBT Q.
FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ARE
IMPORTANT.
AT THE EQUAL AND EQUITABLE AND
FAIR TREATMENT OF OUR LGBT Q.
FAMILY FRIENDS.
FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.
ARE IMPORTANT.
AND LET'S NOT JUST CELEBRATE ON
A DAY AND THEN GO ON ABOUT OUR
BUSINESS.
SCHERING SHAME AND TOLERANCE AND
RESENTMENT.
BECAUSE I'M SURE MANY OF US HAVE
HAD TO FACE THE SAME KIND OF
GOOD DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES
AND FEELINGS THAT WE KNOW.
OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND OUR
FRIENDS IN THE LGBT COMMUNITY
HAVE EXPERIENCED.
I WANT TO SHARE THAT -- MY
COUSIN COUSIN BUZZY.
LONG AGO -- HE WAS A FLIGHT
ATTENDANT AND LIVED IN SAN
FRANCISCO AND HE WAS GAY.
AND I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GAY.
I'M BECAUSE I WAS TOO LITTLE AND
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
BUT WHAT I DID NOTICE WAS THAT
EVERY TIME HE CAME AROUND ALL OF
THE WOMEN IN MY FAMILY.
WOULD RUSH TO MAKE SURE THAT HE
HAD WHAT HE NEEDED WOULD EMBRACE
HIM WOULD HANG WITH HIM AND
WOULD MAKE SURE THAT HE HAD THE
LOVE AND SUPPORT THAT HE NEEDED.
AND WHAT I REALIZED LATER ON WAS.
IT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS GAY.
AND HE HAD BEEN ERASED.
FROM OUR FAMILY TREE.
BY HIS FATHER SOMEONE WHO DID
NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANT. TO
HAVE AND LOVE BLACKS OUT.
BUT HE DIED YEARS LATER FROM
COMPLICATIONS OF AIDS.
BUT HE ALSO DIED OF A BROKEN
HEART.
AND THAT IS WHAT THIS RESOLUTION
AND WHAT PRIDE MONTH
[inaudible]
FIGHTS AGAINST.
SO AS ASSIST WOMAN.
AS AN ALLY TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY
AND AS A MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS I URGE AN AYE VOTE ON ACR.
NINETY NINE THANK YOU MISS
KAMLAGER-DOVE [inaudible]
MISS FRIEDMAN [inaudible]
YOUR RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER MEMBERS
I RISE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS.
IN SUPPORT OF RESOLUTION AND ACR
NINETY NINE AND I WANT TO THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD -- SPEAKING ON THIS
RESOLUTION.
I THINK IT'S DIFFICULT FOR MANY
OF US BECAUSE THE VERY PRACTICE
OF CONVERSION THERAPY WHICH
STILL HAPPENS IN CALIFORNIA.
GOES TO THE HEART.
OF THE DISCRIMINATION THAT HAS
BEEN HOUNDING LGBT PEOPLE
[inaudible] FOR MILLENNIUM.
T. TO PERPETUATE THE IDEA BUT
THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH
THAT INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS TO BE
OR CAN BE CURED.
CONTINUES THE CYCLE OF SHAME.
OF THE NILE.
A DISCRIMINATION AND IN MANY
CASES OF VIOLENCE.
THAT WE'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS.
HOW WE JUST WENT THROUGH A VERY
JOYOUS CEREMONY WERE REAL WE
WERE ABLE TO HONOR PEOPLE?
WHO HAVE BEEN EXCEPTIONAL
CONTRIBUTORS? TO OUR STATE.
AND THEIR CONTRIBUTORS NOT IN
SPITE OF WHERE THEY FALL ON THE
GENDER SPECTRUM.
BUT BECAUSE OF IT [inaudible]
AND TO HAVE THE IDEA THAT THAT
PART OF THEM SHOULD BE A RACE OR
DENIED.
WHATEVER ROBBED US OF THOSE
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THOSE
INDIVIDUALS MADE.
WATCHING THE CEREMONY I WAS
THINKING BACK TO WHEN I WAS
YOUNG.
MY VERY BEST FRIEND GROWING UP.
WHEN I WAS A GIRL?
WAS A LESBIAN NOW.
NONE OF US SPOKE OF THAT NONE OF
US REALLY KNEW I MEAN.
THIS WAS FLORIDA THIS WAS MANY
YEARS AGO.
WHEN I WENT?
TO MY HIGH SCHOOL.
HOMECOMING DANCE IS A SENIOR.
THE BOY THAT I TOOK TO THE DANCE
WAS GAY.
AGAIN NOTHING THAT WAS SPOKEN
BUT WE KNOW.
WE KNOW THAT NOTHING WILL COME
OF THAT NIGHT BEYOND FRIENDSHIP.
BUT I WAS THINKING ABOUT THOSE
TWO INDIVIDUALS AND WHAT THEIR
LIVES MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE AT
THAT TIME. TO KNOW THAT THEY
WERE LIVING A LIE.
AND TO BE AFRAID OF BEING
EXPOSED TO BE SO AFRAID THAT
THEY HAD TO DATE.
IN MY CASE A GIRL.
MY GIRLFRIEND'S CASE BOYS.
WHEN THAT WAS CERTAINLY THE LAST
PERSON THEY WANTED TO BE DATING?
AND TO THINK THAT ON TOP OF THAT
THERE WAS SOMEONE WHO MIGHT HAVE
TOLD THEM THAT THEY COULD BE
CURED.
AS THOUGH THEY HAD SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THEM.
AND WHAT THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT
TO THEM.
AND THAT'S TE HORROR THAT WE
STILL PUT PEOPLE THROUGH TODAY.
AND THERE'S SOMETHING SO
FUNDAMENTALLY.
GROSS ABOUT THAT.
AND SAD ABOUT THAT.
SO I WANT TO AGAIN APPLAUD.
THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM SILICON
VALLEY'S EFFORTS TO END THIS
PRACTICE IN CALIFORNIA.
IT'S VERY VERY IMPORTANT.
AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN FIND A
WAY [inaudible] TWO HAVE PEOPLE
REALIZE THAT NOT ONLY SHOULD
THEY SUBJECT THEIR CHILDREN AND
THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS TO
CONVERSION THERAPY.
BUT THAT THEY SHOULD.
WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT IT SAY OH
MY GOD IS THAT A BORING PRACTICE
STILL HAPPEN?
IN OUR MIDST.
THANK YOU AND I URGE AN AYE VOTE.
NAME IS FRIEDMAN MIS RACE.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS SO I TO RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF ACR.
NINETY NINE AND WOULD LIKE TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM SILICON
VALLEY FOR INTRODUCING THIS
IMPORTANT MEASURE.
WHEN WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY LAST
YEAR TO VOTE [inaudible]
ON LEGISLATION.
MY COLLEAGUE WENT TO MY
COMMUNITY TO SPEAK TO SOME OF
THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS.
AND I APPRECIATED SO MUCH.
NOT ONLY HIS WILLINGNESS TO COME
TO THE COMMUNITY.
BUT ALSO THE LEADER'S
WILLINGNESS TO SIT DOWN AND HAVE
AN HONEST CONVERSATION.
WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEALTH.
INTEREST IN PROTECTING
VULNERABLE CITIZENS DECEPTIVE.
PRACTICES [inaudible]
CONVERSION THERAPY.
IS ONE OF THOSE PRACTICES.
AND TO BE CLEAR IT'S PROVEN TO
BE AN UNETHICAL AND ULTIMATELY
HARMFUL.
BEING LGBT Q. IS NOT A DISEASE.
IT'S NOT A DISORDER IS NOT AN
ILLNESS THAT NEEDS TO BE CURED.
I SUPPORT MY COLLEAGUES CALL FOR
THE EQUITABLE TREATMENT.
OF ALL PEOPLE.
PROMOTION OF THE IDEA THE SEXUAL
ORIENTATION AND GENDER IDENTITY
CAN OR SHOULD BE CHANGED DOES
NOT DEMONSTRATE THE BASIC
RESPECT.
THAT WE SHOULD SHOW ALL PEOPLE.
REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY CHOOSE TO
LOVE. FOR THESE REASONS I
RESPECTFULLY ASPIRIN AYE VOTE.
THANK ADDRESS MISS KOREA
[inaudible]
YOUR RECOGNIZE.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RIGHTS AND PROUD
SUPPORT IN BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LET THE NO

DIVERSITY OF ALL CALIFORNIANS.
FOR FAR TOO LONG OUR LGBT
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN REGULATED
RELEGATED TO SHADOWS IN CLOSETS
FEARING SOCIAL STIGMA AND
PERSECUTION. FOR BEING WHO THEY
ARE.
STATE MY HAS FOSTERED DAMAGING
PRACTICES LIKE CONVERSION
THERAPY.
WHICH TEACHES LGBTQ PEOPLE TO
RESENT THEIR AUTHENTIC AND
BEAUTIFUL IDENTITIES LABELING
THEM AS PEOPLE WHO NEED TO
CHANGE.
NOT ONLY DO THESE PRACTICES
CAUSE HARM TO THE LGBT Q.
INDIVIDUALS BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTE
TO A LARGER CULTURE OF INJUSTICE.
AND DISCRIMINATION.
THIS CULTURE HAS FATAL
CONSEQUENCES AS SHOWN IN THE
TRAGIC MASS SHOOTING.
AT THE POLLS NIGHT CLUB IN
ORLANDO FLORIDA WHICH TOOK THE
LIVES OF FORTY NINE PEOPLE.
AND WOUNDED FIFTY THREE OTHERS
MOST OF WHOM WERE LGBT Q. LATINO
INDIVIDUALS.
DESPITE THE INJUSTICES AGAINST
THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY.
THE COMMUNITY HAS OVERCOME EACH
AND EVERY OBSTACLE IN STRIDE AND
I OUT ARE UNAPOLOGETIC ABOUT
THEIR FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS.
AND IDENTITY.
ON THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
STONE WALL.
WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR SCHOOL
CURRICULUM ADDED A THIRD GENDER
OPTION IN OUR STATE ID'S.
AND CALIFORNIA HAS THE MOST LGBT
Q. LEGISLATORS IN THE NATION.
IN THE SPIRIT I LIKE TO MENTION
THE REVOLUTIONARY WORK OF SYLVIA

A SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD PORTER
RICAN DRAG QUEEN WHO USE HER
VOICE TO INFORM AND TRANSFORM.
THE LGBT Q. MOVEMENT AND PUT THE
VOICE OF TRANS WOMEN AND TRANS
WOMAN OF COLOR.
AT THE FOREFRONT IN NINETEEN

ADDING PERSPECTIVE AN
INTERSECTION NOW READY TO THE
TRANS IMMIGRANT UNDOCUMENTED
COMMUNITY WHO EVERY DAY CONTINUE
TO FIGHT FOR RECOGNITION AND
JUSTICE THE PURSUIT.
OF THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS.
AND ALSO IN THAT SPIRIT AND THE
SPIRIT OF THOSE TIMES A
REVOLUTION OF THE LATE NINETEEN
SIXTIES.
I LIKE TO GIVE A PERSONAL SHOUT
OUT OF LOVE AND APPRECIATION TO
THE LGBT Q. PATRONS OF THE BLACK
CAT TAVERN.
IN THE SILVER LAKE NEIGHBORHOOD
OF EIGHTY FIFTY ONE THE TWO
YEARS PRIOR TO STONE WALL WERE
HARASSED AND BEATEN BY POLICE
SIMPLY FOR KISSING.
DURING A NEW YEAR'S EVE
CELEBRATION.
IN RESPONSE THE COMMUNITY
PROTEST THAT FOR THEIR CIVIL
RIGHTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS WERE
FELT ACROSS THE NATION WHICH LED
TO STONE WALL. TO HONOR THOSE
BEFORE US WE THE MEMBERS OF THIS
LEGISLATIVE BODY MUST FOSTER A
CLIMATE OF INCLUSIVITY
INTERSECTION NOW LADY.
AN ADVOCATE FOR THE LGBT

OVER THE WORLD OVER THE WORLD
OVER MY LIFE -- BUT I GUESS I
JUST WANT TO ADD MY VOICE TO THE
VOICES SPEAKING TODAY.
THAT THERE IS NO EVIDENCE BASED
TYPES OF CONVERSION THERAPY THIS
IS NOT SOMETHING THAT IS TIME
TRIED AND TRUE AND TESTED WE
KNOW IT IS -- ACTUALLY IS
DANGEROUS IT IS COUNTER
INTUITIVE -- AND I THINK IT
SPEAKS TO SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
EARLIER ISSUES AROUND ADDICTION
ISSUES AROUND HOMELESSNESS.
IS YOUR OWN SELF DESTRUCTIVE
BEHAVIORS THAT OFTEN COME FROM A
DEEP PLACE THAT LIVES INSIDE
SOMEBODY WHO SAYS I'M NOT OKAY.

IN THE WORLD THAT IS JUST YOU
THAT IS BORN JUST TELL YOU ARE
TO LOVE JUST TO YOU LOVE AND TO
BE LOVED FOR WHO YOU ARE -- AND
CONTINUE ON WITH THINGS LIKE
CONVERSION THERAPIES TELLS ALL
THE UNCLE BUDDIES OF THE WORLD
THAT THEY DON'T BELONG THAT THEY
ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH THAT
SOMETHING IN THEM IS WRONG.
AND MUST BE CHANGED WE WANT TO
REBUKE THAT WITH OUR HARSHEST
VOICE TO SAY THAT IS NOT THE WAY
FOR ANY OF US TO LIVE OUR FULL
AND TRUEST LIFE THE WAY WE LIVE
OUR FULL AND TRUEST LIFE IS TO
HAVE THOSE AROUND US.
NOT LOOKING AT US AS THOUGH
SOMETHING ABOUT US MUST BE
CHANGED SO THAT WE CAN BE EQUAL
BUT THAT WE STAND SIDE BY SIDE
SHOULDER SUPPORTS SHOULDER AND
HEART TO HEART.
WITH ALL MEMBERS OF THE
COMMUNITY THAT WE ARE ALL OKAY
AND I STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF
ACR NINETY NINE AGAIN THERE IS

SIMPLY PUT A AND SPECIFICALLY
FROM. TO THE COLLEAGUES FROM YOU
GO VALLEY.
PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE
HAD LAST YEAR ON ASSEMBLY BILL
TWENTY NINE FORTY THREE FOR
THOSE WHO NOT VOTE IN SUPPORT OF
IT WAS THAT SUCH THAT.
MANY OF YOU SURE CONVERSATIONS
PERHAPS THIS MIGHT GO TOO FAR.
OR COULD WE STILL ALLOW FOR
RELIGIOUS PROTECTIONS WHICH WAS
CLEARLY DEFINED THE BILL BUT WAS
NOT PERHAPS AS THERE V AND
WITH RESPECT TO THE POSITIONS
THAT INDIVIDUALS HAD -- BUT WHAT
WE HAVE BEFORE US HERE IS THE
RESULT OF A SEEMINGLY DIVERGENT
VIEW POINT TO WHICH WE HAVE
ACTUALLY COME TOGETHER AND
STATED OUR COLLECTIVE INTEREST
IN THE PUBLIC GOOD OF PROTECTING
INDIVIDUALS.
AGAIN TO MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE.
ASSEMBLY BILL TWENTY NINE FORTY
THREE AM CONVERSION THERAPY AS A
FRAUDULENT PRACTICE FLEW OUT OF
THIS BODY.
IT ALSO FLEW OFF THE SENATE
FLOOR AND WAS READY FOR THE
GOVERNOR SIGNATURE.
BUT MANY OF YOU SAID.
PLEASE WOULD YOU PAUSE BECAUSE
WE JUST FEEL LIKE MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY PERHAPS HAVE SOME
RESERVATIONS SOME CONCERNS.
SO IN FACT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
WE DID.
WE PULLED THE BILL.
AWAY FROM THE GOVERNOR SIGNATURE
AND THAT LAW WAS NOT PUT BEFORE
THE GOVERNOR. FOR HIS APPROVAL.
NOW I DON'T KNOW ABOUT MANY OF
YOU BUT HOW HOW MANY LEGISLATORS.
WOULD WORK SO HARD TO PUT ALL OF
THEIR TIME ENERGY AND EFFORT.
ALL THE WAY THROUGH JUST TO PULL
IT AWAY.

SO IF YOU HAD RESERVATIONS AND
DID NOT VOTE FOR ASSEMBLY BILL
TWENTY NINE FORTY THREE LAST
YEAR ON CONVERSION THERAPY.
AS IT FRAUDULENT PRACTICE
BECAUSE IT WOULD GO TOO FAR.
THEN YOU SHOULD VOTE IN SUPPORT
OF THIS RESOLUTION BECAUSE THIS
RESOLUTION TALKS ABOUT THE T.
ESSENCE OF WHICH YOU SHARED WITH
ME PERSONALLY ONE ON ONE THAT
THIS IS A NON BINDING RESOLUTION
BUT IN FACT YOU ALSO BELIEVE IN
BASIC.

WHY WE CELEBRATE PRIDE.
BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS GROWING UP.
WE DON'T WANT THEM TO THINK.
ABOUT SUICIDE.
AND THE DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT
OF SUICIDE THE PERCENTAGE OF
SUICIDE AMONG LGBT YOUTH.
I DO NOT WANT TO SEE A YOUNGER
EVAN LOW.
IN WHICH I THOUGHT ABOUT SUICIDE
AND WHEN MY PARENTS MY FATHER
WHO THEM THOMAS AS A DOCTOR ALSO
SAID.
PERHAPS WE CAN SEEK OUT
CONVERSION THERAPY PERHAPS WE
SHOULD IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE AND
YOU WOULD BE I DO NOT WANT YOU
TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE ADVOCATE

SEVENTY FIVE THANK YOU MISTER
TANG MISTER OF REALTY MISTER
SPEAKER I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
SB SEVENTY FIVE MEMBERS THIS
BILL CONTINUES THE ASSAULT ON
CHARTER SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA.
CURRENT STATE LAW PERMITS ANY
SCHOOL A PUBLIC MAGNET SCHOOL OR
A CHARTER SCHOOL TO ENFORCE
ACADEMIC STANDARDS ON ADMISSIONS
THIS TRAILER BILL WOULD TAKE
THAT ABILITY AWAY FROM CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN FACT.
UNDER THIS TRAILER BILL CHARTER
SCHOOLS WOULD NOT EVEN BE ABLE
TO REQUEST AN ACADEMIC
TRANSCRIPT OF SOMEONE WHO
APPLIES TO THEIR PROGRAM.
SIMILARLY UNDER CURRENT STATE
LAW A PUBLIC MAGNET SCHOOL OR A
CHARTER SCHOOL MAY ENFORCE
ACADEMIC STANDARDS ON ITS
STUDENTS.
THIS WILL WOULD PROHIBIT IT JUST
A CHARTER SCHOOL BERMAN FORCING
THOSE STANDARDS EDISON ROLLING A
STUDENT BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT
FAILED TO MEET THE STANDARDS.
PUBLIC MAGNET SCHOOLS ND
SPECIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT PROGRAMS
WOULD STILL BE ALLOWED TO DO
THIS.
COLLEAGUES THIS BILL WILL
SERIOUSLY DEGRADE THE
EDUCATIONAL DIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AND SERIOUSLY IMPACT
THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND CAL
CALIFORNIA I URGE A NO VOTE.
THEY WERE SHOWING ALL THE MISS
WALDRON IF YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS.
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER ATTACK ON
CHARTER SCHOOLS BASED ON THE
FALSE PREMISE THE CHARTER SCHOOL
SKIM ONLY THE BEST STUDENTS AND
PUSH OUT LOW PERFORMING CHILDREN.
DESPITE ALLOWING MAGNET SCHOOLS
AND SPECIALIZED SCHOOL DISTRICT
PROGRAMS TO SET ADMISSION
STANDARDS.
THIS BILL UNFAIRLY SINGLES OUT
CHARTER'S BY PREVENTING THEM
FROM USING THE VERY SAME
PRACTICE.
IF ADMISSION STANDARDS AREOKAY
FOR MAGNET SCHOOLS WHY ARE WE
ATTEMPTING TO TREAT CHARTERS
DIFFERENTLY.
THIS BILL WILL NOT SOLVE THE
PROBLEMS FACING OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN
ANOTHER ATTACK ON CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND ITS DISTRACTION.
FROM BADLY NEEDED REFORM EFFORTS
THAT WILL GIVE ALL CHILDREN THE
EDUCATION THEY DESERVE.
I ORIGINAL VOTE.
THANK YOU MISS WALDRON SEEING NO
OTHER MEMBERS SEE RECOGNITION.

CLOSER ALL.
TELL YOU ABOUT AYE AYES.
FIFTY SEVEN KNOWS TWELVE THAT
MISTER PASSES IN WITHOUT
OBJECTION IMMEDIATE TRANSMITTAL.
TO THE SENATE.

SEVENTY EIGHT SB.
SEVENTY EIGHT CORPORATE.
SENATE BILL SEVENTY EIGHT BY THE
COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FISCAL
REVIEW AND ACT LIKE THE HEALTH
MAKING PREPARATION THEREFORE TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BILL
RELATE TO THE BUDGET.
MISTER KAY.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER THIS IS
THE FIRST OF TWO HEALTH TRAILER
BILLS -- FIRST THIS BILL FINALLY
RESTORES CUTS TO THE MEDI CAL
PROGRAM MADE DURING THE GREAT
RECESSION -- THESE CUTS BEEN
LONG OVERDUE AS SPECIFICALLY
RESTORING -- CUTS REGARDING MEDI
CAL BENEFITS INCLUDING.
OPTICAL PODIATRY AUDIOLOGY IN
SPEECH THERAPY.
ADDITIONALLY WERE ALSO.
DOING RESTORATION TO PUBLIC
HEALTH AS PART OF CREATING NEW
PREVENTION PROGRAMS FOR HIV AND
STDS.
AND THEN LASTLY WE ARE
AUTHORIZING THE REINSTATEMENT OF
THAT INDIVIDUAL MANDATE PENALTY
AND PROVIDES INCREASES IN
SUBSIDIES FOR HEALTH COVERAGE
ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
THESE PENALTIES WILL GO TO
ENSURE THAT MIDDLE CLASS
CALIFORNIANS WILL BE ABLE TO
AFFORD HEALTHCARE IN CALIFORNIA.
AND THE SUBSIDIES WILL BE
PROVIDED FOR PEOPLE BETWEEN
410026100% OF FEDERAL POVERTY
WHICH FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR'S
INCOME.
BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. FOR
CALIFORNIA HAS PROJECTED THAT
THESE NEW SUBSIDIES WHAT IMPACT
ALMOST A MILLION CALIFORNIANS
AND HELP THEM GET THE HEALTH
CARE ACCESS THAT THEY DESERVE.
WITHOUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AYE VOTE FOR SB.
SEVENTY THINGS TING MISTER OF
ROYALTY THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER
I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO SB.
SEVENTY EIGHT THIS BILL WILL
CREATE A MANDATE THAT EVERYONE
IN CALIFORNIA MUST PURCHASE
HEALTH INSURANCE AND CREATE A
PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO FAIL TO
ACHIEVE THAT.
THAT PENALTY REVENUE WILL BE
USED TO PROVIDE SUBSIDIES TO
ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO PURCHASE
HEALTH INSURANCE.
IF YOU LOOK AT WHERE THOSE
SUBSIDIES WILL GO THE MAJORITY
OF THE SUBSIDY REVENUE WILL BE
SPENT. FOR PEOPLE ABOVE 4100% OF
THE FEDERAL POVERTY LEVEL AND
ELIGIBILITY FOR THOSE SUBSIDIES
WILL EXTEND ALL THE WAY UP
26100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY
LEVEL.
SO TO PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE
6100% OF THE FEDERAL POVERTY
LEVEL RIGHT NOW IS AN INCOME OF
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR FOR A SINGLE PERSON.
OR ALMOST A HUNDRED AND HIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR FOR A
FAMILY OF THREE IF YOU LOOK AT
THE STATISTICS FOR THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT WHEN IT WAS
IMPLEMENTED IN CALIFORNIA THE
PEOPLE PREDOMINANTLY THE PAID
THE PENALTY IS.
WERE YOUNG HEALTHY PEOPLE WITH
AN INCOME OF EITHER BETWEEN
THIRTY THOUSAND AND FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.
SO THIS TRAILER BILL IF WE PASS
IT TODAY WE'LL TAKE MONEY AWAY
FROM PEOPLE MAKING THIRTY TO
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR.
AND GIVE IT TO PEOPLE MAKING
BETWEEN SEVENTY FIVE AND A
HUNDRED AND THIRTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR COLLEAGUES THAT
MAKES NO SENSE I REGIONAL VOTE.
THANK YOU MISS ROAD ONLY SEE NO
ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION DEBATE ON
THE ITEM YES.
DR AMULET HERE RECOGNIZED THANK
YOU MISTER SPEAKER.
IN RESPONSE TO THE CRITIQUE FROM
OUR COLLEAGUES ACROSS THE AISLE
I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WHAT
OCCURS TODAY TO SOME PEOPLE. FOR
A COUPLE WHO ARE IN THEIR EARLY
SIXTIES COULD SPEND AS MUCH AS
40% OF THEIR INCOME CURRENTLY ON
HEALTH CARE.
AFTER WHAT WE SEE IN
AFFORDABILITY THAT COMES IN A
SUBSEQUENT TRAILER BILL SB ONE
OF SIX WE WILL CAP THAT AT 18%
OF INCOMES THAT CAN BE SPENT ON
PREMIUMS.
THAT'S STILL A LOT OF MONEY BUT
IT'S MUCH LESS THAN THEY'RE
CURRENTLY SPENDING NOW. TWO
SEPARATE STUDIES HAVE USED
DIFFERENT MICRO SIMULATION
MODELS AS WELL.
WHICH WOULD SHOW THAT WE COULD
INCREASE ENROLLMENT AND COVERED
CALIFORNIA BY UP TO A HUNDRED
AND NINETY THOUSAND PEOPLE.
AS WE INCREASE THE PREMIUM
OBSESS ASSISTANCE THAT WE'RE
PROVIDING.
UNTIL NOW PROVIDING
AFFORDABILITY HAS HAD A STRONG
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND I URGE MY
COLLEAGUES FROM BOTH SIDES OF
THE AISLE TO SUPPORT SENATE BILL.

TRAILER BILL THIS BILL HELPS
GIVE US A LITTLE BIT CLOSER TO
OUR GOAL OF UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE
COVERAGE HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS BILLS ON PREVIOUS
LEGISLATIVE ACTION WE HAD OF
OFFERING MEDI CAL TO YOUNG
PEOPLE UP TO EIGHTEEN REGARDLESS
OF IMMIGRATION STATUS THIS WILL
EXPAND.
THAT AGE RANGE FROM EIGHTEEN UP
TILL THAT INDIVIDUAL IS TWENTY
SIX YEARS OLD.
WE BELIEVE THIS WILL IMPACT
ABOUT A HUNDRED A THOUSAND YOUNG
PEOPLE HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
SO WHILE THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO
WARNER ISSUE BEFORE WALL WILL
NOW HAVE ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE.
NOW HAVE ACCESS TO VACCINATIONS
NOW HAVE ACCESS TO MUCH OF THE
HEALTH CARE THAT MOST OF US TAKE
VERY MUCH FOR GRANTED.
IN ADDITION THE BILL ALSO SEEKS

MISTER OF REALTY MISTER SPEAKER
I RISE IN OPPOSITION SB -- ONE
FOR THIS TRAILER BILL PROPOSES A
SUBSTANTIAL -- INCREASING
ELIGIBILITY FOR MEDICARE ALL AND
THAT INCREASE WILL COME AT A
SUBSTANTIAL COST TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE TESTIFIED
IN BUDGET COMMITTEE THIS MORNING.
THAT THE PER CAPITA COST TO THE
STATE OF THESE NEW ENROLLEES
WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY MORE THAN
IT SPENDS CURRENTLY ON A WOMAN
IN MEDI CAL THAT'S BECAUSE THESE
ARE ENROLLEES THAT ARE NOT
ELIGIBLE FOR A FEDERAL MATCH.
FOR THEIR HEALTHCARE DOLLARS.
I ALSO FEEL THAT WE HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO FIX MEDI CAL FOR
THE MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS WHO
DEPEND ON IT NOW BEFORE WE TALK
ABOUT EXPANDING ELIGIBILITY FOR
IT.
I GET PHONE CALLS EVERY SINGLE
DAY IN MY DISTRICT OFFICE FROM
CONSTITUENTS WHO ARE COVERED BY
MEDICARE ALL BUT OR ILL AND ARE
UNABLE TO SEE A DOCTOR.
AND THE REASON IS BECAUSE SO FEW
DOCTORS IN MY DISTRICT ARE ABLE
TO TAKE THE LOW REIMBURSEMENTS
THAT MEDI CAL PROVIDES THEM.
AND THEREFORE VERY FEW
OPPORTUNITIES EXIST FOR MY
CONSTITUENTS TO GET ACCESS TO
HEALTH CARE COLLEAGUES WE NEED
TO FIX THOSE PROBLEMS FIRST AND
MAKE SURE WERE FROM FILLING THE
PROMISES THAT WE MADE. TO THE
MOST VULNERABLE CALIFORNIA'S

AN ITEM ON THE ASSEMBLY THIRD
READING FILE.
THIS IS FILE ITEM NUMBER.
THIRTY THREE AC A FOURTEEN BY
MISS GONZALES.
THE CLERK WILL READ.
ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT FOURTEEN BY SOME
REMEMBER GONZALEZ AND OTHERS AND
ACTUALLY THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA.
MS GONZALEZ YOU MAY OPEN THANK
YOU MISTER SPEAKER.
AC A FOURTEEN IS SIMPLY A
RESOLUTION THAT ASKS THE VOTERS
WHETHER THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA SHOULD ENSURE ALL
WORKERS WHO PERFORM SUPPORT
SERVICES.
AT THE UC ARE AFFORDED THE SAME
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
STANDARDS AS YOU SEE EMPLOYER
HE'S.
BEYOND PROVIDING WORLD CLASS
INSTRUCTION AND RESEARCH AT ITS
CAMPUSES A MEDICAL CENTERS THE
YOU SEE IS THE STATE'S THIRD
LARGEST EMPLOYER IN AS AN ANCHOR
IN THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH IT
OPERATES.
IN RECENT YEARS THE UC HAS
OUTSOURCED AN ESTIMATED SEVEN
THOUSAND SUPPORT JOBS WHAT THE
SAME TIME INCREASING THE NUMBER
OF HIGHLY PAID ADMINISTRATORS TO
APPROXIMATELY.
EIGHT THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED THIS
RESULTED IN ANNUAL GONNA STATE
STRAIGHT OF PAYROLL COST
INCREASES OF APPROXIMATELY SIXTY
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS.
THIS AMOUNT MATCHES WHAT YOU SEE
IS PREVIOUSLY ESTIMATED WOULD
COST OFFER OUTSOURCED WORKERS
THE FULL PROTECTIONS IN EQUAL
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY STANDARDS
ENJOYED BY YOU SEE EMPLOYEES.
ACA FOURTEEN WILL PROTECT
SERVICE WORKERS THAT YOU SEE
FROM POLICIES THAT PRODUCE
ECONOMIC RACIAL AND GENDER
DISCRIMINATION.
IN RESPONSE TO CONCERNS RELATED
TO THE NEED FOR FLEXIBILITY TO
HANDLE EITHER MEDICAL
EMERGENCIES OR UNANTICIPATED
NEEDS.
ANYWHERE IN THE UC SYSTEM WE DID
TAKE A MOMENT SAID INCORPORATE
UC'S CURRENT POLICIES FOR THE
USE OF TEMPORARY PER DIEM
UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES. TO BE
CLEAR NEITHER THE LEGISLATURE
NOR THE GOVERNOR CAN ADDRESS A
SYSTEMATIC INEQUITIES THAT OCCUR
DUE TO THE YOU SEE THE TANAMI
UNDER ARTICLE NINE OF THE
CONSTITUTION.
HOWEVER ARTICLE TO THE
CONSTITUTION GIVES THE
LEGISLATURE THE POWER AND
RESPONSIBILITY TO ALLOW VOTERS
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROTECT THE
VULNERABLE RESIDENTS OF OUR
STATE.
I SIMPLY ASK THAT YOU ALLOW THE
VOTERS TO DECIDE WHETHER LOW
INCOME SERVICE WORKERS THAT YOU
SEE.
THOSE WHO CLEAN THE TOILETS
MOWING THE LAWN SERVE OUR FOOD
AND CLEAN THE BED PANS SHOULD
ENJOY THE SAME STANDARDS ENJOYED
BY YOU SEE EMPLOYEES DOING THE
SAME EXACT WORK.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE.
I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OFFICER
KALRA THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER
IS CHAIR OF LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT
COMMITTEE ARISE THE PROPERTIES
WERE CO AUTHOR IS A FOURTEEN
AUTHORED.
BY OUR COLLEAGUE OF SAN DIEGO --
AS SHE STATED AC FOURTEEN WILL
DIRECTLY ASK OUR VOTERS WITH THE
WE SHOULD PROTECT THE LOWEST
WAGE WORKERS AT THE UC.
IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THE UC
SYSTEM HAS TURNED UNFETTERED
OUTSOURCING OF LOW WAGE WORK
WITH PROMISES OF COST
CONTAINMENT AND PROCUREMENT
BENEFITS.
HOWEVER.
WHEN THE STATE AUDITOR REVIEWED
TEN OF THESE CONTRACTS THEY TELL
OF THE UC LACKED ADEQUATE
DOCUMENTATION TO SUBSTANTIATE?
NINE OF THE TEN BENEFITS
REVIEWED AND THE LOW WAGE
OUTSOURCED WORKERS AT THE UC
IRVINE EARLY THREE DOLLARS AND
EIGHTY SIX CENTS LOWER AN HOURLY
WAGES ON AVERAGE.
THAN UNIVERSITY EMPLOYEES DOING
SIMILAR WORK.
ONLY THE VOTERS CAN CORRECT
THESE INEQUITIES AN ACA FOURTEEN
EMPOWERS VOTERS WITH THE
NECESSARY CHANGES IN THE UC
SYSTEM THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR I BO.
THERE WAS KALRA MISTER MCCARTY.
YES THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER I
ALSO RISE IN SUPPORT. THREE
YEARS AGO THIS LEGISLATURE AND
THE GOVERNOR SIGNED A BILL AB
EIGHT FOUR EIGHT WHICH I
AUTHORED. TO CRACK DOWN ON THIS
YOU SEE OUTSOURCING HOWEVER
BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA CAN DO THINGS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY -- THE
PRACTICE HAS CONTINUED SO THIS
ESSENTIALLY PROVIDES US AN
OPPORTUNITY FOLLOW UP ON THAT GO
TO THE VOTERS AND MAKE SURE
WE'RE GETTING OUR BIGGEST BANG
FOR THE BUCK.
A FEW YEARS AGO THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA SPENT FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS DEL SOURCE IT
WORKERS.
AND THEIR EXISTING WORKERS WERE
FORCED TO TRAIN THOSE PEOPLE WHO
WOULD TAKE THEIR JOBS.
AND IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT THE
CONTRACT COST TAXPAYERS MONEY IN
THE LONG RUN.
HURT EMPLOYMENT GOT RID OF
MIDDLE CLASS JOBS AND COST
TAXPAYERS THIS IS A MEASURE
WHICH TIME IS DO.
MORE POORLY GHOST ELECTORATE ASK
THEM TO WEIGH IN AS WELL THANK
YOU.
THEY WERE ESCORTED MISTER JONES
SAWYER YOU ARE RECOGNIZED THANK
YOU MISTER SPEAKER I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF ACA FOURTEEN BY OUR
ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE FROM SAN
DIEGO -- AS SOMEONE WHO'S DONE.
PROBABLY SEVERAL HUNDRED
CONTRACTS THE PUBLIC SECTOR I
KNOW FIRST HAND WHAT IT'S LIKE.
FOR A LOW BALLED BITTER TO COME
IN.
PROMISE THE WORLD TO A
GOVERNMENT ENTITY.
AND THEN IN THE END WE SPEND
MORE WITH A WORD THAT WOULD JUST
TWO WORDS CALL CHANGE ORDERS WE
DON'T ALWAYS DO THE BEST AT
CONTRACTING.
I DON'T ALWAYS DO THE BEST A
DOING THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT.
WHAT HAPPENS IS AFTER THE
CONTRACT GOES OVER AND OVER YOU
DO A CHANGE ORDER?
THAT CHANGE ORDER INCREASES THE
AMOUNT OF THE ORIGINAL -- BID
AND BEFORE LONG YOUR PLANE TWICE
AS MUCH SOMETIMES THREE TIMES
MORE.
THEN THE PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEE.
AND MOST IMPORTANT YOU GET LESS
WORK THAN YOU DID BEFORE.
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES BY RULE ALMOST
ALWAYS NOT ONLY HAVE PRIDE IN
WHAT THEY DO THEY WANT TO MAKE
SURE THEY DO THE BEST JOB THAT
MONEY CAN BUY.
YOU WANT SOMEONE THAT THEY HAS A
VESTED INTEREST IN DOING THE
WORK ESPECIALLY TO UC'S.
UC'S AS WE ALL KNOW.
AS WE ALL KNOW HAVE NOT BEEN
VERY COOPERATIVE WITH THIS
LEGISLATURE THIS BILL.
HELPS PROTECT NOT ONLY THE
TAXPAYERS.
BUT IT ALSO GIVES BODY THE
FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE
HAVE TO ENSURE THAT MONIES ARE
SPENT APPROPRIATELY.
AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO
SAID.
THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE TWELVE
YEAR TERMS.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT RUNNING
FOR OFFICE EVERY TWO YEARS.
THEY'RE IN FOR TWELVE YEARS AND
TO GET ANOTHER TWELVE YEARS IN
PART ALMOST A QUARTER OF A
CENTURY.
WHICH MEANS THEY IGNORE US MOST
OF THE TIME THIS BILL ACTUALLY
HAS A LOOK AT HOW THEY SPEND
TAXPAYERS MONEY AND ACTUALLY HAS
SOME INPUT.
SOME INPUT INTO IT ONE DAY I
WOULD LOVE TO RUN A BILL. TO
SHORTEN THOSE TERMS OR TO BE
ABLE TO MAKE THE MORE.
CONSTITUTIONALLY AVAILABLE NOT
ONLY TO THE PUBLIC.
BUT TO THIS BODY.
MEMBERS I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE [inaudible]
DOCTOR QUIRK.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
I WORKED FOR YOU SEE FOR TWENTY
SIX YEARS.
THAT'S THE TIME I SPENT AT LARGE
SLAB WHERE YOU SEE WAS THE OUR
CONTRACTOR TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND RAN LAWRENCE LAP.
IN MY FIRST FIFTEEN YEARS
EVERYBODY ON CAMPUS ONCE IN A
PLOY E..
UNLESS YOU'RE COMING IN AND
SELECT TRICIA AND OR SOMETHING
TO DO A JOB THAT TOOK A DAY OR
TWO THEN.
ALONG AROUND NINETY IN THE EARLY
NINETIES.
ARE THEY MADE THE CAFETERIA
WORKERS [inaudible]
CONTRACT WORKERS.
SO PEOPLE WHO WERE GETTING A
PENSION.
PEOPLE WHO WERE GETTING A DECENT
WAGE NOW WORK FOR CONTRACTORS.
WHEN THE CONTRACTOR CAME IN
MAYBE THEY TO HIRE THEM MAYBE
THEY WON'T?
AND THEN IN ANOTHER FIVE YEARS
ANOTHER CONTRACTOR WHO MIGHT
HIRE YOU MIGHT NOT.
BUT NO JOB SECURITY [inaudible]
NO PENSION.
WHAT WAS UC DOING?
WE HEARD YOU SHE SAY.
AT OUR HEARING AND
APPROPRIATIONS -- WE JUST DO
THIS BECAUSE IT'S NECESSARY.
THAT'S NOT TRUE THEY'RE DOING IT
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO CUT COSTS
AND THEY WANT TO CUT COSTS.
BY GIVING WORKERS LESS SECURITY.
LAST PENSIONS.
BASICALLY ABUSING THE SYSTEM.
IF A PERSON CAN DO THE JOB AND
DOES THE JOB YEAR AFTER YEAR
THEY OUGHT TO BE AN EMPLOYEE WE
OUGHT NOT TO ALLOW YOU SEE.
YOUR VIEWS ITS WORKERS THANK YOU.
I GET A COURT MISTER MEDINA
KERRIGAN S. THANK YOU MISTER
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS AYE RISES AS
CHAIR OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
AND IS A PROUD GRADUATE OF UC
RIVERSIDE.
IN SUPPORT OF A CA.
FOURTEEN DURING MY TIME AS A
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.
AND THE HORRIBLE UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT I'VE FOUGHT THEN.
AGAINST OUTSOURCING WHETHER IT
WAS LIBRARIANS.
OR BUS DRIVERS OR MAINTENANCE
WORKERS.
BECAUSE I AGREE WITH MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LOS ANGELES THAT
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES WHO ARE
EMPLOYED WHETHER IT BE THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE THE SAME
WHEN I WAS A TRUSTEE.
AT RIVERSIDE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
AND THE EFFORT WAS MADE TO TRY
TO PRIVATIZE THE BOOKSTORE.
AND OF TAKE OFF THE WORKERS IN
THAT IN THE BOOKSTORE AND MAKE
THEM -- NON PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.
THAT EMPLOYEES SHOW THAT THEY DO
A BETTER JOB WHEN THEY ARE ABLE
TO WORK FOR THE INSTITUTION
WHICH THEY TAKE PRIDE IN.
AND AS I'VE FOUGHT AGAINST
CUTTING LIBRARIANS AS A SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER BECAUSE OF BUDGET --
RESTRICTIONS ARE TRYING TO CUT
BUDGET.
I KNOW THAT THAT IS NOT THE WAY
TO DO IT.
THAT LOOKING AT THE LOWEST PAID
WORKERS IS NOT THE PLACE TO CUT
MANY I AM A PROUD SUPPORTER.
OF UC EVERY YEAR I FIGHT. TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE INCREASE OUR
FUNDING OF UC BUT I AM VERY
HAPPY AND PROUD TO SUPPORT ACA
FOURTEEN IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
THANKYOU MISTER MEDINA MISTER
MURATSUCHI YOUR RECOGNIZE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH HI.
WILL VOTE FOR THIS A CA.
BUT I WANT TO RAISE.
SOME CONCERNS THAT I THINK WE
SHOULD ALL KEEP IN MIND.
YOU KNOW I'M VOTING FOR THIS
BECAUSE I SUPPORT WORKERS.
ESPECIALLY MAKING SURE THAT
[inaudible]
ARE -- WORKERS ON THE LOW END OF
THE PAY SCALE OR NOT HAVING
THEIR JOBS CONTRACTED OUT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.
THAT A FORGET A FEEL GOD IN
SUPPORTING OUR WORKERS.
THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE WILLING
TO PAY FOR IT.
YOU KNOW THIS YEAR.
AS A MEMBER OF THE BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE IN EDUCATION
FUNDING I SUPPORTED THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA'S REQUEST
FOR NINETY SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS
ON GOING FUNDING.
WE WERE NOT ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH
THAT.
ACCORDING TO THE FLOOR ANNOUNCES.
THIS MEASURE IF PASSED BY THE
VOTERS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
MAY RESULT IN ONGOING GENERAL
FUND COST PRESSURES.
POSSIBLY IN EXCESS OF A HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS.
SO AGAIN.
YOU KNOW THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA IS. ONE OF THE BEST
THINGS THAT WE HAVE GOING FOR US
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IT IS
THE BEST PUBLIC UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM.
IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IF NOT IN
THE ENTIRE WORLD.
AND I'M GONNA CONTINUE THE
CHAMPION THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA.
AND IF WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT
THE WORKERS LET'S SUPPORT THE
WORKERS BY INCREASING FUNDING.
TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE BEST
PUBLIC UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN THE
ENTIRE WORLD.
MR BELOW YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER ON A
MEMBERS -- LIKE OUR FRIEND FROM
THE SOUTH BAY OF LOS ANGELES I
RISE AND CAUTIOUS SUPPORT.
OF FLOOD OF THIS A CA.
I I DO BELIEVE THAT CONTRACTING
OUT.
I AND ITS IMPACT ON WAGES AND
BENEFITS AS A REAL ISSUE FOR
WORKERS AND I COMMEND THE MEMBER
FROM -- SAN DIEGO FOR WORKING SO
HARD ON ON THIS ISSUE.
BUT I I DO HAVE A NUMBER OF
CONCERNS -- WE JUST HEARD THE
ESTIMATE OF A HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS -- THAT THIS
COULD COST THE UC ACTUALLY HAS
THAT NUMBER UP AROUND A HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY TWO MILLION WHAT
EVER THE COST MAY BE WE HAVE.
TO CAREFULLY CONSIDER THAT COST.
PARTICULARLY AT A TIME WHEN WE
HAVE ADDED AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA'S
BUDGET WITH AN EMPHASIS ON
INCREASING ENROLLMENT WELL THIS
IS A REAL ISSUE.
TOO AND I TAKE THE POINT THAT.
AS A MATTER OF FLYING MALADY
THIS CAN ONLY BE CHANGED A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BUT
THAT'S NOT EXACTLY THE CASE WE
CAN ALSO CHANGE THIS BY USING
THE POWER OF THE PURSE THAT WE
HAVE.
JUST AS WE HAVE WITH UNIVERSITY
AND ROLL MEANT -- WE'VE CHANGED
THE DYNAMIC ON THAT AND WE COULD
WORK HARDER TO CHANGE THE
DYNAMIC THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS FOR
THE BUDGET PROCESS WHICH I THINK
IS FAVORABLE MORE FAVORABLE TO
DOING SOMETHING THAT IS RIGID
AND INFLEXIBLE ONCE IT IS PUT
INTO CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
WE KNOW HOW BALLOT MEASURES ARE.
WE WE WITH OUR OWN LEGISLATION
FREQUENTLY COME BACK TO CLEAN UP
THAT LEGISLATION BECAUSE OF THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES WE WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
I'M I'M VOTING FOR THIS TODAY I
AM HOPING THAT COOLER HEADS WILL
PREVAIL AND THAT THERE CAN BE A
NEGOTIATED RESOLUTION TO THIS SO
THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CALM.
A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT --
BUT FOR TODAY I'M AN AYE VOTE.
THING WAS BLOW SENIOR ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE ACA.
MS GONZALEZ YOU MAY CLOSE.
I WANT TO REMIND THIS BODY OF A
FEW THINGS FIRST OF ALL -- THIS
IS A CONSTITUTIONAL MA'AM IT'S
GOING TO BE PUT TO VOTERS IF WE
PASS IT THROUGH FOR THE VOTERS
TO DECIDE.
AND FOR THE VOTERS I THINK TO
HAVE AN HONEST DISCUSSION ABOUT
HOW MUCH WE'RE INVESTING OR NOT
INVESTING IN YOU SEE I THINK
THAT'S A GOOD DISCUSSION TO HAVE.
IN A GOOD US.
QUESTION TO PUT TO OUR VOTERS.
ALSO RIO ONE REMIND FOLKS THAT
THIS BILL THIS IS BEEN BROUGHT
FORWARD AS A BILL -- I THINK AYE
JOCKEYED IT FOR THREE THREE
TIMES ON THIS FLOOR.
GOT TO THE GOVERNOR AND YOU SEE
INSISTS THAT WE CAN'T IN FACT
MAKE THEM DO THIS.
THEY'RE INDEPENDENT.
THEY CAN DO WHAT THEY WANT.
AND I KNOW THOSE OF YOU OF WORK
THROUGH BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS WITH
YOU SEE OF HER THAT AS WELL.
SO WHILE THEY CONTINUE TO TELL
US THAT THEY CANNOT.
BE FORCED TO PROTECT THEIR
LOWEST WAGE WORKERS THEY
CONTINUE TO PAY THEIR HIGHEST
WAGE WORKERS MORE.
ADMINISTRATORS.
I DON'T LIKE HAVING TO DO A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR
SOMETHING THAT SEEMS SO OBVIOUS.
WE SHOULD JUST BE.
FIGURING OUT TOGETHER.
HOW TO PAY FOR THESE -- WORKERS.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT'S THE
POSITION WE'RE IN AND CONTINUE
TO BE AN BECAUSE THE WAY THE
CONSTITUTION IS WRITTEN.
SO IF YOU SEE TRULY IS A THOMAS
I KNOW THE CONSTITUTION IS THERE
TO PROTECT.
THOSE WHO ARE THE LEAST AMONG US.
SO PERHAPS IT IS THE MOST
APPROPRIATE. TO GIVE
CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS TO
THE LEAST.
PAID WORKERS THE WORKERS WHO DO
THE REAL WORK ON UC CAMPUS WHO
WILL NEVER HAVE BEEN NEGOTIATING
POWER.
IN THIS BUILDING OR IN CONTRACT
NEGOTIATIONS WITH YOU SEE.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK TODAY.
THAT WE PASS THIS FORD.
THAT WE DO CONTINUE TO INVEST IN
ARE YOU SEE THAT WE HAVE REAL
DISCUSSIONS ABOUT HOW MUCH THAT
IS.
BUT WE LET THE VOTERS DECIDE
WHETHER THEY'RE NOT THEY THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PROTECT
UC WORKERS.
UP AND DOWN THE SPECTRUM
INCLUDING THOSE WERE PAID THE
LEAST.
AND THOSE ARE CONTRACTED OUT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
