A TECHNICAL CLEAN UP BILL THAT
CLARIFIES THAT NO PARTY
PREFERENCE. VOTERS CAN BE
INCLUDED ON THE LA COUNTY
INDEPENDENT REDISTRICTING
COMMISSION PROPORTIONAL. TO
VOTER REGISTRATIONS IN THE
COUNTY. THE LA COUNTY NEVADA
REGISTRATION COMMISSION WAS
CREATED BY US BY THE
LEGISLATURE. IN TWENTY SIXTEEN.
IT HAD THE GOAL OF PROVIDING A
SIMILAR PUBLIC PROCESS AS WAS
PROVIDED BY THE CITIZENS REDUCE
OUR COMMISSION STATEWIDE. AND
THIS INCLUDES THE SELECTION OF
FOURTEEN COMMISSIONERS THAT ARE
REFLECTIVE OF THE POLITICAL
PARTY PREFERENCES OF THE
COUNTY. BUT MP PEAS ARE NOT
CONSIDERED A POLITICAL PARTY.
ALTHOUGH THEY MAKE UP ONE POINT
FOUR MILLION VOTERS OR OVER A
QUARTER OF THE REGISTERED
VOTERS IN LA COUNTY. SO THIS
BILL- WILL FOR PHIL THE SPIRIT.
OF THE ORIGINAL LAW- THAT THEY
AND BASICALLY MAKE IT SO THAT
WERE VERY CLEAR THAT ANTI P.
VOTERS CAN BE INCLUDED AS
COMMISSION MEMBERS BY CLEARLY
STATING. THAT NO PARTY
PREFERENCE CAN BE INCLUDED ON
THE COMMISSION PROPORTIONAL TO
VOTER REGISTRATIONS. IN THE
COUNTY. CURRENT LAW REQUIRES
THE COMMISSION BE CREATED BY
DECEMBER THIRTY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY SO EMERGENCY CLAUSE. IS
NEEDED TO ENSURE THIS
CLARIFICATION IS CODIFIED WITH
ENOUGH TIME FOR THE COUNTY TO
INCLUDE NO PARTY PREFERENCE
VOTERS IN THE COMMISSION.
SELECTION PROCESS AS YOU KNOW
NOW WE HAVE THE CENSUS THIS

PARTY USING THE MOST RECENT
STATEWIDE ELECTION DATA.
HOWEVER I'VE BEEN AROUND SAID

BE SOME TIME TO GO TO WORK ON
SOME OF THIS. FOR NEXT YEAR BUT
IS ONE OF THINK YOU. FROM HIS
FORD. GOMEZ SURE GO THERE. YES
THANK YOU SENATOR AND I THINK
YOU HIGHLIGHT IN YOUR OPENING
ONE OF THE ISSUES HERE IS THAT
WE CREATED THIS PROBLEM- FOR
THE LOCALS WHICH IS ANOTHER
REASON WHY I DID NOT SUPPORT
THE ORIGINAL LEGISLATION
BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE
SOMETHING THAT THE LOCALS- COME
UP WITH THEY DRIVE HOW THEY
WANT TO DO THE REDISTRICTING-
AND YOU KNOW THERE'S ONE OF THE
PITFALLS OF A WE- SORT OF
LEGISLATING FROM ON HIGH- HOW
REDISTRICTING SHOULD. GO IN AND
ONE COUNTY THAT WE RUN INTO
THESE PROBLEMS THAT I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS IS A CLEAN UP
YOU KNOW AND TO KNOW ENSURE
THAT BUT I THINK IT ALSO
UNDERSCORES WHY IT REALLY. YOU
KNOW IF YOU WANT TO HAVE
FAIRNESS IT SHOULD REALLY BE
JUST AS WE'VE DONE STATEWIDE
WITH OUR REDISTRICTING. FIVE
REPUBLICANS FIVE FIVE
DEMOCRATS- ONE AND PP I THINK
IS WHAT IT IS RIGHT NOW. WE CAN
DO SIMILARLY AT LEAST PROVIDE
THAT SAME. EQUALITY YOU KNOW
REPRESENTATION- IF WE'RE GOING
TO DO IF WE'RE GONNA BE WAYNE
INTO THIS WE SHOULD TRY TO KEEP
IT AS- YOU KNOW EVEN AS
POSSIBLE- A IS HOW I WOULD HOW
I WOULD PUT IT BUT- I'M NOT SO
SURE THAT WE SHOULD BE WAY IN
INTO IT- AT ALL AND EVEN THE
COURT. WHEN THIS WHEN THIS
PARTICULAR REDISTRICTING SCHEME
WAS CHALLENGED- HAS SAID HEY WE
DON'T KNOW THIS RATIONAL
JUSTIFICATION IS GONNA LAST BE
ON THE NEXT REDISTRICTING.
CYCLE ON LOS ANGELES SO I GUESS
SAYS SOMETHING FOR. THE
CITIZENS AND REPRESENTATIVES OF
LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO FIGURE
OUT IN DUE TIME. THANK YOU WHAT

A MOTION AND HAVE A SECOND. ANY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR

REGISTERED VOTER IN CALIFORNIA
WILL RECEIVE A BALLOT IN THE
MAIL. PROVIDING A SAFE
ALTERNATIVE TO VOTING IN PERSON
BUT MANY CALIFORNIA VOTERS
EITHER CAN. OR WILL CHOOSE NOT
TO USE THEIR VOTE BY MAIL
BALLOT. FOR EXAMPLE MANY VOTERS
WILL NEED TO USE ACCESSIBLE
VOTING EQUIPMENT OR WHEN THE
LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE. HOMELESS
AND OTHER CALIFORNIA VOTERS.
MAY NOT RECEIVE THEIR MAIL
BALLOT. OTHERS WILL LOSE OR
DAMAGE THEIR BALLOTS AND NEED
REPLACEMENTS SOME VOTERS SIMPLY
PREFER TO PLACE THE BALLOT IN
THE BALLOT BOX THEMSELVES. IN
ADDITION ELIGIBLE PEOPLE WILL
NEED SOMEWHERE THEY CAN
REGISTER TO VOTE. UP TO AND

THE ELECTION. SB FOUR TWENTY
THREE WILL ALSO REQUIRE
NUMEROUS CONVENIENT LOCATIONS
FOR VOTERS WHO WANT TO DROP OFF
THEIR BALLOTS. AS WELL AS A
STATEWIDE VOTER EDUCATION AN
AVERAGE CAMPAIGN REGARDING

TRADITIONAL POLLING PLACE
COUNTY. THERE WILL STILL BE
FREE TO DO SO. EITHER WAY THEY
MUST STILL MAIL EVERY
REGISTERED VOTER A BALLOT. SB

MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH
PUBLIC HEALTH GUIDANCE. AND
REQUIREMENTS WALK
SIMULTANEOUSLY RECOGNIZING THAT

POLLING PLACES OR VOTE CENTERS.

WISHING TO PARTICIPATE WHO MAKE
A VALID EFFORT TO COMPLY WILL
BE ABLE TO SEEK PARTIAL WAIVERS
FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE. IF
THEY ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN 1100%
OF THE REQUIRED VOTING SITES OR
DROP OFF LOCATIONS. AS WE HAVE
ALREADY SEEN AND SOME OTHER
STATES A MASSIVE REDUCTION IN
VOTING LOCATIONS WOULD RESULT
IN LONGER LINES. AND LARGER AND
POTENTIALLY UNSAFE GATHERINGS

I JUST WANTED TO BRING UP IS
OBVIOUSLY MISTER CHAIRMAN YOU
AND I WORKED- TOGETHER ON ON
THIS ISSUE AND WE PASSED- SB
EIGHT SIX SORRY AB EIGHT SIXTY.
PROVIDES FOR AN ALL MAIL BALLOT
ELECTION. IN NOVEMBER I THINK
THAT'S THE RIGHT APPROACH TO
HELP INSURE A SAFE ELECTION
COMING FORWARD. ONE OF MY
PRINCIPAL. POLICY DISAGREEMENTS
ON ON THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
IS THAT IT DOESN'T FACT LIMIT
ACCESS- AND THAT UNDER VOTER
CHOICE ACT WOULD HAVE TEN DAYS
FOR PEOPLE. TO GO INTO ONE OF
THOSE- CENTERS AND EITHER GET
HELP OR TO VOTE- UNDER THIS
LEGISLATION- IF THEY OP THEY
WOULD IT'S ONLY GONNA BE THREE
DAYS. BEFORE THE ELECTION AND
ALSO POLLING PLACES- YOU KNOW
MAKE TRADITIONAL POLLING PLACES
THAT A PERSON IS USED TO GOING
TO. MAY GO AWAY- CONCERNING TO
ME AT THAT WERE YOU KNOW. WE
WANT TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY
ALSO FIRST IF THE- STAMP. IF
EVERYBODY GO ONE IN THERE FOR
FOUR DAYS ONLY. AT WHEREAS
BEANS IS DOUBT- I DO UNDERSTAND
I SUPPORT THE WAIVER PROCESS.
THAT ALLOW THE COUNTY TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT WE NEED A FACILITY OR
THIS THIS TYPE OF FACILITY THAT
WE USUALLY USE IS NOT GONNA
WORK. WE HAVE THAT ABILITY
HOWEVER DISICK BLAME WITH YOU
THAT'LL- FOR THE FOUR DAY THIS-
AND PROTECT. TO HAVE TAX. NO
OTHER THERE USED GOING TO I CAN
THAT AS BEING FOR ACTS SO I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU WANTED SPEAK
TO THOSE THOSE ISSUES BUT
THAT'S ONE OF MY BIG-
FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS
CURRENT POLICY YEAH THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND I APPRECIATE-
THE CONCERNS I DO WANT TO. JUST
KIND OF. MAKE SURE TO REMIN
FOLKS THAT THIS IS VOLUNTARY
THAT THAT OF COUNTIES WANT TO
THAT THEY CAN STICK WITH- THE
CURRENT. SYSTEM THAT THEY USE
WHETHER THERE ARE VOTERS CHOICE
ACTOR NON VOTERS FOR EXACT.
COUNTY BUT I DO APPRECIATE THE
POINT THAT YOU MAKE I MEAN I
THINK. WHAT THE AUTHOR THE
CENTER WAS TRYING TO DO WORKING
WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT GROUPS
WHETHER IT'S THE COUNTY
ELECTIONS OFFICIALS. THE
ADVOCATE GROUPS- YOU KNOW HAD
THE VOTER ADVOCACY GROUPS
EVERYBODY IS TRY TO. CREATE AS
MUCH- YOU KNOW OPPORTUNITY AS
POSSIBLE WHILE ALSO. BE
COGNIZANT OF THE CHALLENGES
THAT EXIST GET YEAH DUE TO COVE
IT IN AND DO THAT- YOU KNOW THE
DIFFICULTIES OF GETTING PEOPLE
TO VOLUNTEER AND OF FINDING A
PHYSICAL LOCATIONS THAT ARE
WILLING TO. THEY CRIED THERE'S
I THINK THE EVERYBODY. THAT WAS
JUST EASIER TO DO THAT FOR THE
FOUR DAYS- AND THAT THAT WOULD
STILL PROVIDE CON AS MUCH.
ACCESS AS AS POSSIBLE GIVEN
CODE AND THEN IT IS ALSO
COMPLEMENT TO MAILING EVERYBODY
A BALLOT- INTO THE HOPE IS THAT
YOU KNOW MUCH MORE PEOPLE WITH
THIS VOTE FROM HOME. AND FEWER
PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO VOTE IN
PERSON BUT I YOU KNOW I
APPRECIATE THE POINTS THAT
YOU'RE REYES- BUT BUT DO WANT
TO REITERATE THAT THIS IS
VOLUNTARY FOR COUNTIES TO. TO
OPT INTO IF THEY WANT TO. THE
IF THEY DON'T WANT TO THEN THEY
CAN DO THAT. THAT THE CURRENT
SYSTEM. OTHER COMMENTS
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. I'M WAS APPROVED BY-
MISS WEBBER SECOND BY MISTER
CALDERON ADD WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE NO SERMON. OKAY WELL WITH
THAT- I MEAN I WILL BE OPPOSING
TODAY BECAUSE OF THAT
FUNDAMENTAL- YOU KNOW POLICY
DIFFERENCE- THERE AGAIN I THINK
NUMBER ONE WE WANT PEOPLE TO
VOTE THEIR BALLOT YEAH THAT'S
MAILED TO THEM AND I THINK
THAT'S PROBABLY THE SAFEST WAY
BUT IN THE EVENT THE PEOPLE.
YOU KNOW FOR WHATEVER REASON
NEED ASSISTANCE OTHERWISE I
THINK WE SHOULD TRYING KEEP
THIS ELECTION IS STATUS QUO AS
POSSIBLE SO THAT PEOPLE KNOW
WHERE THEY CAN GO TO VOTE AND
TO GET HELP- SO THAT'S MY
PRIMARY AND THEN. AS YOU KNOW
SECONDARILY I DON'T LIKE HOW
THIS PROCESS WENT ONE ABOUT A
MAJOR WE ARE AS YOU SAID A
HUNDRED DAYS OUT- WE THE
LEGISLATURE DID IN FACT ACT- WE
PASSED EIGHT SIXTY YEAR
LEGISLATION ON A BIPARTISAN
FASHION- YEAH THERE'S NOTHING
THAT SAYS THAT THE GOVERNOR
NEEDED TO DO AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
AHEAD OF US- AND I AND I DON'T
REALLY LIKE KIND OF ALMOST. YOU
KNOW- APPROVING OF THAT YOU
KNOW BY KIND OF COME IN BEHIND
HIM BUT WE REALLY SHOULD HAVE
ALLOWED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE
LEGISLATURE THAT ENACTED THIS
THING. AND NOT THE- WAY AROUND
BUT WITH THAT YOU KNOW I'LL SO
I WILL BE OPPOSE IN TODAY ALL
RIGHT. STRICKLER TO THE
CULTURAL. THE MOTION IS TO PASS
BERMAN HI BERMAN I GALLAGHER NO

HI LOW. LOW I MAYES. MAYES NOT
VOTING MULLIN MULLIN I WEBER
WEBER I. FIVE TO ONE OKAY THE
BILL IS OUT ON A FIVE TO ONE
VOTE AND- WE NOW MOVE TO-
CENTER NUMBER X. NEXT BILL
WHICH I BELIEVE IS- SB NINE
SEVENTY. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AND COLLEAGUES. CALIFORNIA HAS
TRADITIONALLY HELD ITS PRIMARY
ELECTIONS IN JUNE WITH THE ONLY
EXCEPTIONS OCCURRING BECAUSE OF
A DESIRE TO HAVE A GREATER SAY
IN THE PRESIDENTIAL. NOMINATING
PROCESS I SUPPORT KEEPING OUR
PRESS PRIME IN MORE AND THIS
BILL WILL NOT CHANGE THE
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES HOWEVER
THERE IS GOOD REASON TO MOVE
ARGUMENT FOR PRIMARIES BACK TO
JUNE. EXCUSE ME SB NINE SEVENTY
JOINTLY AUTHORED BY SENATOR
UMBERG IN MYSELF. AND
PRINCIPALLY CO AUTHORED BY BOTH
THE PRO TEM IN THE SPEAKER.
WILL ENSURE THAT OUR
GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY ELECTIONS
WILL REMAIN IN JUNE. THERE ARE
TWO MAIN REASONS TO KEEP THE
GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY IN JUNE.
BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING EFFECTS
OF COVERT NINETEEN AT THE
CENSUS BUREAU HAS SOUGHT.
CONGRESSIONAL APPROVAL FOR
ADDITIONAL MONTHS. TO DELIVER
THE CENSUS DATA NEEDED TO
REAPPORTIONED CONGRESS. AND
EVERY JOB IN FREE DRAW
CONGRESSIONAL STATE LEGISLATIVE
AND LOCAL DISTRICTS IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. WITH SOME RELATED
THE TWO WHILE SOME RELATED
DETAILS MAY STILL BE PENDING.
WE'VE BEEN AS SHORT AS THE THAT
THE DELAY WILL BE APPROVED.
THAT DELAY WILL MAKE IT
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CALIFORNIA
CITIZENS REDISTRICTING
COMMISSION. THE LA AND SAN
DIEGO COUNTY REDISTRICTING
COMMISSIONS AND OTHER LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS. TO COMPLETE
THEIR WORK UNDER CURRENT LEGAL
DEADLINES. THOSE DEADLINES MUST
BE COMMENSURATELY ADJUSTED AND
STILL MUST THE DATE OF THE
TWENTY TWENTY TWO PRIMARY. THE
OTHER BUT THIS WAS REDUCE
LENGTH OF THE AND FOR ELECTIONS
GOAL. IN FORTY SIX THE WHITE
ELECTION. FOR ACTION. HAS BEEN
HELD IN JUNE WITH THE LOAN IF
OF TWO THOUSAND TWO EMERGE
GUBERNATORIAL RESULTS IN AN
UNNECESSARILY ELONGATED
ELECTION CYCLE WITH THE GAP
BETWEEN THE PRIMARY AND THE
GENERAL ELECTION AT EIGHT
MONTHS MOVING THE PRIMARY TO
JUNE WHICH CERTAIN THE ELECTION
SEASON TO A MUCH MORE
REASONABLE FIVE MONTHS. SOME
MIGHT ARGUE THAT HAVING A
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY IN MARCH
IN A GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY IN
JUNE WILL CONFUSE VOTERS THAT
DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THE
CASE IN THE PAST SB NINE
SEVENTY IS SUPPORTED BY COMMON
CAUSE THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS ASIAN AMERICANS
ADVANCING JUST AND HAS NO
OPPOSITION HE WAS APPROVED BY
THE SENATE ON A CONSENT ITEM. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE

THE KNOWING DISTRICT POINT THE
PRIMARY ELECTIONS IN MARCH. TO

THE STATE PRIMARIES MOVE FROM
MARCH TO JUNE AS WELL. THE
CHANGE IS NOT ONLY NEEDED FOR
THE STATE ALSO AROUND ONE
HUNDRED COUNTY AND CITIES THE
CONSOLE THEIR LOW. THE STATE.
THREE CAN MOVING FOR THE- FOR
PRESS LIKE TO FIFTY. MAKING CAN
TO COMPETE AND CAL. IN OUR
STATE PROBLEMS. HOWEVER NON

ONGOING BENEFITS DURING THE
PRIMARY BACK TO JIM AS WELL.
PRINCIPALLY SHORTENING THE

FOR GUBERNATORIAL YEARS CARRIED
CHIRLA BANDAGES- FOR THE

PROBLEM OF MONEY IN POLITICS.
IF YOU KNOW LIMITS THE FIELD

ALL KNOW IT IS. NOT A GREAT
THING ONLY NEED FOR MORE
CAMPAIGN CASH INCREASE OF THE
APPOINT THE SPECIAL INTERESTS

TAKES PRESSURE TIME OKAY THE
FOLKS ON PALM MAKING. EXACTLY
WHAT WITH DO YOU STUDY OUT
THERE FROM THE TWENTY SIXTEEN
ELECTION THAT SHOWED AT LEAST
2% OF AMERICA SAY THEY ARE WORN
OUT BY EXCESSIVELY LONG. CAN AN
EIGHT MONTH BETWEEN THE PRIMARY
AND GENERAL. HUGE SPACE THE
TIME TO MAINTAIN VOTER
ENGAGEMENT IF I BELIEVE
EXPERIENCE WITH THAT IT'S
EASIER TO EDUCATE PEOPLE OF
CANADA IN ABOUT ISSUES. WHEN
THAT TIME FRAME IS MORE. PEOPLE
CAN BE REMEMBER WHO THEY VOTED
FOR THE PRIMARY ELECTION AND
WHY. WE BELIEVE THAT SB NINE
SEVENTIES BOTH NECESSARY FOR
THE PRACTICAL REASONS THAT WERE
STATED AND IT'S ALL OF THE
BENEFITS CALIFORNIA VOTERS. THE
LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS THE
CALIFORNIA- JUST. AND I DON'T
AND WE THANK YOU. OKAY I
BELIEVE THAT'S ALL THE
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT THE MAIN

IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. MY ON
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS IT'S
JUST LIKE WILL BRING IT IT
SEEMS LIKE WE'RE JUST PLAN PING
PONG. YOU KNOW I MEAN WE KEEP
MOVING IT TO MARCH AND THEN
BACK TO JUNE I THOUGHT WE HAD
KIND OF MADE A FINAL. POLICY
DECISION WHEN WE PASSED THE
LEGISLATION A FEW YEARS AGO A
COUPLE YEARS AGO. YOU KNOW MY
COLLEAGUE MADE OF. YOU KNOW-
VERY IMPASSIONED SPEECH ON THE
FLOOR- AT AND SEVERAL OF US
AND- AS REPUBLICANS SUPPORTED
THAT MEASURE AS WELL TO MOVE IT
TO- TO MARCH AND JUST KEEP IT
THERE- I GET WITH THE US CENSUS
WHAT THAT POSES THE DELAY- BUT
THAT MIGHT BE AN ARGUMENT FOR
JUST DOING IT FOR THIS ONE
ELECTION- RATHER THAN KIND OF
DOING IT PERMANENTLY WHICH IT
SEEMS LIKE THE- BILL THE- SO.
THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH IT- AND
SO THAT'S WHY I WOULD BE OPPOSE
IN I FEEL LIKE WE'VE ALREADY
DECIDED AS A LEGISLATURE- THAT
WE'RE GONNA HAVE. MARCH
PRIMARIES- FROM NOW ON I DON'T
I DON'T SEE THE ISSUE OF. YOU
KNOW PROLONGED CAMPAIGN- EITHER
A MINISTER IT'S A PROP I
CAMPAIGN IN A GENERAL JUST LIKE
ALWAYS IS WE'RE GONNA HAVE
MARCH- YOU KNOW FROM HERE. YEAH
IT SEEMS LIKE WE JUST CAN'T
KIND OF DO THIS ARE ONCE WHILE
JUST TO BE RELEVANT IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY- I THINK
OF OUR VOTERS OUR CITIZENS WANT
JUST BE CONSISTENT WHAT'S
WHAT'S OUR WINNER PRIMARY IS
GOING TO BE AND WHEN OUR
GENERAL'S GONNA BE. AND AGAIN I
pTHINK WE'VE ALREADY MADE THAT
POLICY DETERMINATION SO I. THAT
THAT'S WHY I WOULD BE- IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS AND LET'S
JUST KEEP IT KEEP IT JUNE MAYBE
DO SOMETHING MORE IT'S JUST FOR
THIS OF THIS KIND UPCOMING
PRIMARY- FOR TWENTY TWENTY. TWO
BECAUSE OF THE CENSUS ISSUE BUT
OTHERWISE KEEP IT IN PLACE- ANY
OTHER. COMMENTS QUESTIONS NOPE
YES MISTER MAYES. WELL YEAH I
DON'T LIKE TO DO THIS PING PONG
EITHER GOING OUT IT JUST IN MY
HOME OPINION I DID NOT AS OF
FILE IN DECEMBER GOING THROUGH
THE HOLIDAY. YOU LET YEAR I
ALSO FOUND FOR US IN THE
LEGISLATURE AT THAT MARCH
DIDN'T WORK OUT I ACTUALLY
PREFER A PREFERRED UNITER STAND
FOR PRESIDENTIAL- POLITICS-
POLITICAL PURPOSES YOU WANT
CALIFORNIANS TO BE RELEVANT
TURNED OUT MAYBE THAT WASN'T AS
WE WEREN'T AS RELEVANT AS WE
THOUGHT THAT WE WERE GOING TO
BE- THIS THIS LAST YEAR- SO I
ACTUALLY DO PREFER JUNE AND I
DON'T LIKE PING PONG BACK AND
FORTH AND FOR THE JUST TO GO
PURPOSES I WOULD HOPE THAT WE
WILL CONTINUE. TO KEEP IN
CANNOT A GOING FORWARD BASIS SO
I'LL ACTUALLY BE SUPPORTING IT-
TODAY. YES MULLIN. IT THEY MISS
CHAIR I INITIALLY HAD
RESERVATIONS WHEN I FOR SAW THE
ABOUT TALK BACK AND FOR THE
SAME CONSIDER. THAT TO MR GALA
HAS OF I AM STRUCK THOUGH THAT.
THE PRIME ELECTION CAL AND-
YEAR I THINK IS DECIDE ON THE
SET. AND WOULD RATHER BUY FOR.
OUR NON PRESIDENTIAL YEAR PRIME
FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL YOUR
PRIMARIES- I'VE COME AROUND ON
THAT ISSUE I THINK THE
GUBERNATORIAL YEARS OUGHT TO BE
STANDARD JUNE I THINK THAT
TIMELINE MAKES SOME SENSE BUT-
I THINK OUR MOST RECENT AT
LEAST IN OUR PARTY- SHOW THAT-
THE INITIAL STATES. MAY WIND
UP- SHIFTING INVOLVING IN
CALIFORNIA MOST CERTAINLY WANTS
TO BE A PART OF THAT EQUATION-
SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY TO SAY ENTERED AS A
GIVEN TOIL YEARS IN JAIL BUT I

HIS THOUGHTS WITH REGARD THIS
MATTER WILL. BE UPON US EDGE
OUR- ABOUT THIS TALK IT BACK

OKAY- BACK TO A CLEAN UP
SENATOR LARS BILLS. MISTER COOK
WOULD YOU PLEASE CALL THE CALL
THE ROLL. THE MOTION IS DO PATH
AND RE REFER TO THE COMMITTEE
ON APPROPRIATIONS BERMAN HI
BERMAN HI GALLAGHER NO
GALLAGHER NO CALDERON. CALDERON
HI LOW LOW HI MAYES MAY IF I
MULLIN MULLIN ARE A WEBER.
WEBER HI. SIX TO ONE IN THE
BILL IS OUT AND- MISTER
CHAIRMAN I WILL RETURN THE
PROVERBIAL GAVEL BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER VICE CHAIR-
AND I HAVE NO IDEA. WHERE I AM-
MULLIN MULLIN AND MORE ON. THE
STERN HE SAID LET'S MOVE ON TO
THE LAST ITEM OF THE AGENDA
ITEM NUMBER FIVE SB SEVEN
THIRTY NINE. WITH THE SUMMER
MULLIN PRESENTING ON CENTER
STERN BEHALF FOR MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC WERE INTERESTED IN
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF OR IN
OPPOSITION TO SB SEVEN THIRTY
NINE PLEASE CALL IN NOW THAT'S
ON NUMBER MULLIN THANK YOU FOR
PRESENTING ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
STERN YOU MAY PROCEED. THEY
GIVE US CHAIR NOVEMBER TWENTY
TWENTY ALL REGISTER
CALIFORNIANS WILL RECEIVE A
VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT. FOR SOME
VOTERS THIS WILL BE RETAINED
BUT FOR OTHERS THIS WILL BE THE
FIRST TIME THEY HAVE CAST THEIR
BALLOTS FROM THE SAFETY OF
THEIR HOME. IN AN AGE OF
INFORMATION WE NEED TO ENSURE
THAT ALL CALIFORNIANS ARE
RECEIVING ONLY THE MOST REAL
RELIABLE AND CORRECT
INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR- RIGHT
TO APPLY FOR RECEIVE OR RETURN
A VOTE BY MAIL BALLOT.
CURRENTLY IT IS A MISDEMEANOR
FOR PERSON TO DISTRIBUTE
INFORMATION WITH AN INTENT TO
DECEIVE VOTERS ABOUT THE
LOCATION OF POLLING PLACES.
ABOUT THE QUALIFICATIONS TO
REGISTER TO VOTE IN THE
QUALIFICATIONS TO VOTE. HOWEVER
THE LAW IS SILENT WHEN IT COMES
TO DELIBERATE MISINFORMATION
DISTRIBUTION REGARDING A VOTE
BY MAIL QUALIFICATIONS. THAT'S
WHY SB SEVEN THIRTY NINE ADDS
ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS TO VOTE
BY MAIL MIS INFORMATION.
FARMING CALIFORNIANS WITH
CORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT
VOTING BY MAIL IS IMPORTANT
BOTH. FOR THE INTEGRITY OF OUR
ELECTION AND THE CONFIDENCE OF
OUR VOTERS. IN LATE APRIL THE
PEW RESEARCH CENTER FOUND THAT
TWO THIRDS OF AMERICANS BELIEVE
THAT IT IS VERY LIKELY OR
SOMEWHAT LIKELY. THAT THE
CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK WILL
SIGNIFICANTLY DISRUPT PEOPLE'S
ABILITY TO VOTE IN THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. THIS
ONLY FURTHER UNDERLINES HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS TO RESTORE
VOTER CONFIDENCE IN OUR
ELECTION. VOTERS WHO DON'T VOTE
BY MAIL MAY NOT KNOW FOR
EXAMPLE. THAT THEY CAN RETURN
THEIR BALLOTS TO ANY POLLING
LOCATION OR COUNTY ELECTIONS
DROP OFF BOX THEY CAN RETURN
THEIR BALLOT EVEN IF IT IS
POSTMARKED ON ELECTION DAY. AND
THEY CAN CHECK THE STATUS OF
THEIR BALLOT THROUGHOUT THE
PROCESS. WITH THEIR COUNTY.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER AND SB SEVEN
THIRTY NINE IS A COMMON SENSE
MEASURES TAKEN TO EMPOWER
PROTECT VOTERS AS THEY FULFILL
CITIZENS. MOST SACRED
OBLIGATION. LASTLY I WOULD LIKE
TO TAKE AS AUTHOR AMENDMENTS
THE URGENCY CLAUSE. APPROVED BY
THE RULES COMMITTEE EARLIER

BUT I DO WANT POTENTIAL ISSUE
HERE IN AND- I THINK IT'S TAKEN
CARE OF BY THE INTENT LANGUAGE
HERE THAT THE YOU WOULD HAVE TO
BE INTENDED. BUT BACK TO MY
THEME I THINK IN THIS HEARING
AS IT I THINK THERE IS GOING TO
BE SOME CONFUSION AND SO WHAT
IF SOMEBODY IS SAYING HEY YOU
YOU HAVE. TEN DAYS YOU KNOW TO
GO TO A VOTE CENTER TO GET
ASSISTANCE AND IN FACT YOU
REALLY DON'T YOU ONLY HAVE
THREE DAYS BECAUSE THIS THAT
PARTICULAR COUNTY. YOU KNOW HAS
OPTED TO JUST GO THREE DAYS
BEFORE THE ELECTION- I MEAN YOU
COULD SEE THAT THERE COULD BE
STATEMENTS THAT ARE MADE.
BECAUSE OF THE CONFUSION OF
THIS AND THAT'S REALLY AND
AGAIN MY POINT AS WELL SHE
TRYING KEEP THINGS THE STATUS
QUO AND KEEP. ACCESS THE STATUS
QUO AS POSSIBLE- I DO HAVE SOME.
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THAT
OBVIOUSLY I THINK WE ALL WE CAN
ALL AGREE THAT WE DON'T WANT.
INTENTIONAL MISSTATEMENTS BEING
MADE OUT THERE AND YOU KNOW
THIS WOULD HELP PROTECT AGAINST
THAT. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES- DO
WE HAVE A MOTION OUR SECOND. I
HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. THE
SUMMER MULLIN WOULD YOU LIKE TO

COLLEAGUE MISTER GALLAGHER-

THAT OUR OUR ELECTION THIS
