IF YOU'RE READY- SENATOR
JACKSON THANK. YOU A MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS INTERESTING.
ACCOMMODATIONS AND I APPRECIATE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS
BILL. BEFORE WE START I'VE BEEN
ADVISED THAT. GIVEN THE
TELEPHONE SITUATION I DO HAVE
WITNESSES BUT WOULD REQUEST
THAT EFFORTS SHOULD BE MADE I
THINK ON THE PUBLIC LINES I'M
NOT TOTALLY SURE. HOW THIS IS
OR ISN'T WORKING BUT- IT'S MY
HOPE THAT MY WITNESSES WILL BE
ON THE CALL- AT THE APPROPRIATE
TIME SO WITH THAT. MISTER CHAIR
AND MEMBERS FIRST I'D LIKE TO
ACCEPT THOSE AUTHORS AMENDMENTS
THE LANGUAGE OUTLINED IN THE
ANALYSIS. WHICH CLARIFIES THE
FLEXIBILITY AVAILABLE TO
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES
AROUND SAFE STORAGE OF FUEL FOR
BACKUP GENERATORS. AND
PRESERVES THE NINETY SIX HOUR
BACKUP POWER REQUIREMENT AS A
STANDARD. I WOULD- TO STAR LIKE
TO THANK OUR YOUR EFFORTS AND
THAT IF YOUR STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH US- THOUGHTFULLY AND
COLLABORATIVELY- TO GET THIS
BILL I THINK IN A CONDITION
THAT'S GOING TO SERVE PURPOSES
OF PROTECTING OUR MOST
VULNERABLE PEOPLE. IN THESE
NURSING HOME FACILITIES SO THIS
BILL IS A SIMPLE IN THAT IF
YOU. SOLVES A BIG PROBLEM OF
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES IN
CALIFORNIA THE TO NOT HAVE
SUFFICIENT BACKUP POWER TO
ENSURE THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
THEIR RESIDENTS WHEN THE POWER
GOES. WE HAVE SEEN THAT ALL TOO
OFTEN I THINK MANY OF US AS I
LOOK AROUND THIS ROOM IN OUR
DISTRICTS DURING FIRES. AND
DURING PS PS EVENTS. THE BILL.
ARE EXCHANGED COMMUNITIES WHO
HAVE THESE FACILITIES OR WERE
THESE FACILITIES ARE LOCATED
THAT THE FACILITIES MUST HAVE
UP TO NINE OR AT LEAST NINETY
SIX HOURS OF BACKUP GENERATION.
I IN CASE OF AN OUTAGE WHETHER
CAUSED BY A NATURAL DISASTER OR
PS PS AMOUNT. CURRENT
REGULATIONS IN THE STATE ONLY
REQUIRE NURSING HOMES TO
PROVIDE VERY LIMITED BACKUP
POWER FOR UP TO SIX HOURS. NOW
THIS IS SIMPLY INSUFFICIENT AND
A WEAK STANDARD THAT IS TRULY A
RECIPE FOR DISASTER IN
CALIFORNIA'S CURRENT CLIMATE OF
EXTREME WEATHER. THIS MEASURE
SEEKS TO CODIFY ALREADY
EXISTING FEDERAL STANDARDS THAT
ARE REQUIRED UNDER FEDERAL LAW
BUT NOT UNDER STATE LAW. THE
REQUIRED NURSING HOMES TO HAVE
ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF POWER TO
PROTECT RESIDENTS HEALTH AND
SAFETY AND MAINTAIN SAFE
TEMPERATURES I THINK THIS IS
CRITICAL O NOTE. FOR OUR
SENSITIVE SENIOR POPULATION YOU
CAN GET EXTREMELY HOT VERY
DIFFICULT FOR SOME SENIORS TO
BE ABLE TO ADJUST TO THAT HE'D-
IT ALSO PROVIDES BACKUP POWER.
FOR PARKS ENGINE AND FOR
MEDICINE THAT NEED TO BE CAP AT
AN APPROPRIATE TEMPERATURE. SO
THESE ARE ALREADY EXISTING
FEDERAL STANDARDS TO WHICH
ALMOST ALL OF CALIFORNIA
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES ARE
SUBJECTED TO. BUT FOR THOSE MET
THOSE ARE NURSING HOMES TO COME
UNDER STATE REGULATION. THEY
ONLY NOW ARE REQUIRED TO
MAINTAIN SIX HOURS. THIS AGAIN
MERELY CODIFIES THE FEDERAL
STANDARD INTO STATE LAW AND
ADDRESSES A SMALL NUMBER OF
THESE HOMES HOWEVER THIS BILL
THANKS TO AMENDMENTS THAT WE'VE
WORKED ON WITH YOU SHOULD FOR
SOME REASON FEDERAL REGULATIONS
BE CHANGED OR ELIMINATED. THOSE
STANDARDS WILL BECOME THE LAW
OF CALIFORNIA YOUR RESPECTIVE
OF WHETHER THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT ACTS TO REMOVE THEM
OR NOT. OF HI I DON'T NEED I
THINK TO EXPLAIN ANY FURTHER
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS IN AN ERA
OF COVERT WHEN OUR SENIORS ARE
UNDER SUCH STRESS IN PARTICULAR
NURSING HOMES PEOPLE IN THOSE
HOMES ARE SUBJECT. TO THESE
DIFFICULT SITUATIONS NOW THE
FIRE SEASON IS HERE. TO ADD
THAT ON WE'RE PROBABLY OR MOST
LIKELY WE WILL SEE. TRY TO STAY
IN PLACE DURING THESE PSP ****
OR DURING WILDFIRES BECAUSE OF
THE DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATE WITH
MOVING HESE FOLKS AND THE
ISSUES OF CONGREGATE CARE SO IT
BECOMES EVEN MORE IMPORTANT
THAT WE PASS THIS MEASURE.
PROVIDING TESTING OUR OVER THE
PHONE AND I HOPE THAT THEY'RE
ABLE TO ACCESS THIS ARE KAREN

WITH. MEN MEN. CANDY FLAVORED
POISON. BE EASY. THIS BILL. TO
THAT WOULD BE THE EASY WAY OUT
THE WEEK EASY WAY OUT. END THAT
IS WHAT BIG TOBACCO WILL TELL
YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM. A BABY
IN BILLING NOR BIG TOBACCO'S
HISTORY OF DESTROYING AND
DEVASTATING OUR COMMUNITIES.
BABY ONLY IS A REGRESSIVE
APPROACH THAT HURTS KIDS MORE
THAN IT HELPED THEM IN
UNDERCUTS POLICYMAKERS. AND
KIDS IN ALL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE
ALREADY ESTABLISHED OR WILL
SOON IN STRONG LOCAL RULES.THE
RABBANI CIGARETTE USE BY YOUNG
PEOPLE IS WHAT PHONE IT IS
WHITE YEARS OF KLEINIAN USE.
ALL FOR. THE YOUNG. TEEN ENSURE.
I AM DISGUSTED AND TROUBLED BY
THIS BUT NOT SURPRISED. BIG
TOBACCO HAS PRAYED ON YOUTH FOR
GENERATIONS LORRAINE OUR MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATIONS WITH
AGGRESSIVE MARKETING FALSE
PROMISES OF SAFETY AND KID
FRIENDLY FLAVOR. WE MUST BREAK
TOBACCO BIG TOBACCO'S DEATH
GRIP ON OUR CHILDREN. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO UNDERSCORE THE
EXPLOSIVE POPULARITY FLAVORED
NICOTINE PRODUCTS AND THE ROLE
THAT THEY PLAY IN A NEW YOU. 8%
80% OF YOUTH WHO USE TOBACCO IN
ANY FORM SAY THEY STARTED WITH
A FLAVORED PRODUCT. WHAT DREW
THEM AND CONTINUE TO HOLD THEM
WELL THE OVERALL OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY OF TEENS THAT USED
TOBACCO REPORT THAT ITS FRUIT
MENTHOL AND MINT FLAVOR. BIG
TOBACCO SAYS FLAVORS LIKE
HAWAIIAN PUNCH CATER TO ADULT

FLAVOR TOBACCO USE IS STAND
AMONG YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT.
MENTAL RICH TO GUARD IN THE-
ANOTHER FLAVOR TO PRODUCTS THE
HARSHNESS OF TOBACCO IN HOPE
USERS INTO A LIFE THREATENING
ADDICTION. FOR I GO FURTHER I
WANT TO EXPLAIN WHY I'M
PRESSING FORWARD WITH THIS BE
SEVEN NINETY THREE GIVEN
EVERYTHING WE FACE DUE TO THE
COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC. I
KNOW WE'VE ALL HAD TO WOULD
REASSESS OUR PRIORITIES
EMERGING EVIDENCE ABOUT SMOKING

STOCKING CAN PUT PEOPLE AT
GREATER RISK THE WORLD ORGAN
DIVISION THIS. THE P. H. WORN
TOBACCO USE CAN IN THE RISK OF
SUFFERING THE MOST SEVERE
SYMPTOMS OF COVERT NINETEEN. WE
KNOW CONCLUSIVELY THAT SMOKING
INCREASES RISK OF RESPIRATORY
INFECTION. WEAKENS THE IMMUNE
SYSTEM AND IS A MAJOR
UNDERLYING CALL OF LUNG DISEASE
HEART DISEASE AND DIE. THIS
PANDEMIC COMPELS US TO URGE
SMOKERS TO QUIT AND ESTABLISH
POLICIES THAT INSURE NEVER PICK
UP THE HABIT. IN THE FIRST
PLACE. BECAUSE OF THE-
INDUSTRIES TACTICS LOW INCOME
NEIGHBORHOODS PEOPLE WITH
MENTAL ILLNESS THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY THE TEAM IS AN
AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY BURDENED. BY
THE RELATED ENTITY AND DEATH.
OPPONENTS OF SB NINETY CLICK
MENTHOL THE- CIGARS ARE NOT
HURTING OR YOU. WE KNOW THAT IS
NOT TRUE AND SO DOES BIG
TOBACCO WANTED PRAISE OUR KIDS
WITH MENTHOL AND FLAVORED
CIGARS. IT WOULD BE A FAILURE
ON OUR PART WE COWER TO BIG
TOBACCO WILL GUARD TO THESE
DANGEROUS PRODUCT. MEANT THE
ORIGINAL CANDY FLAVOR IS
DRIVING TOBACCO CAUSED DEATHS
IN DISEASE'S NATIONWIDE. THE
COOL REFRESHING TASTE OF MEN
ALL TOUTED BY BIG TOBACCO
MARKETING MARKETING MAKES IT
EASIER TO SMOKE AND GET
ADDICTED. YOUTH SMOKERS ARE
MORE LIKELY TO USE MENTHOL
CIGARETTES THAN ANY OTHER AGE
GROUP 57% OF HIGH SCHOOL
SMOKERS USE MENTHOL CIGARETTES
COMPARED TO LESS THAN ONE THIRD
OF. HIS AGES EIGHT THIRTY FIVE
AND OLDER. BECAUSE THE
PREDATORY MARKETING TO THE
BLACK COMMUNITY 85% OF AFRICAN
AMERICAN ADULTS AND 94% 94% OF
LACKEY. WHO SMOKE USE MENTAL
PRODUCTS. FORTY FIVE THOUSAND
AFRICAN AMERICANS DIE FROM A
SMOKING CAUSED ILLNESS EACH
YEAR. AND IT MADE A ONE POINT
SIX MILLION AFRICAN AMERICANS
UNDER THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN. WILL
BECOME REGULAR SMOKERS AND
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
WILL DIE PREMATURELY A TO BACK
REALLY THE- THAT MEANT
CIGARETTES ARE ALL CHEAPER IN
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IS CLEAR
EVIDENCE. OF BIG TOBACCO'S
HEARTLESS IN THIS. CIGARS ARE
THE SECOND MOST POPULAR TOBACCO
PRODUCT AMONG YOUTH SMOKERS.
THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
YOUTH CIGAR SMOKERS 72% REPORT
USING A FLAVORED PRODUCT. SMALL
PACK SIZES PRICES AS LOW AS
NINETY NINE CENTS AND FLAVORS
LIKE BANANAS MASHED TROPICAL
ICE AND BOOZY WATERMELON MAKE
CIGARS PARTICULARLY ATTRACTIVE
TO KIDS. IN THEIR OWN LOBBYING
MATERIALS PREMIUM CIGAR
MANUFACTURERS STATE THAT THEIR
PRODUCTS DO NOT CONTAIN
FLAVORINGS OR OTHER ADDITIVES
THAT ARE FOUND IN OTHER TOBACCO
PRODUCTS. IF THAT IS THE CASE
PREMIUM CIGARS NOT BANNED BY SB
SEVEN NINETY THREE. THE BILL
BANS CHARACTERIZING FOR VERSION
TOBACCO PRODUCTS. BUT ONLY
THOSE THAT RESULT FROM THE
ADDITION OF AN AGREED
INGREDIENTS OTHER THAN TOBACCO.
ANOTHER ARGUMENT OPPONENTS OF
SB SEVEN NINETY THREE ARE
MAKING IS THAT FLAVOR TOBACCO
BANDS THAT INCLUDE MENTHOL
CIGARETTES WILL ANALYZE TOBACCO
POSSESSION AND GIVE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AN EXCUSE TO HARASS
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
COLLEAGUES THIS IS SIMPLY NOT
TRUE. IF IT WERE MY NAME WOULD
NOT BE ON THIS BILL. SB SEVEN
NINETY THREE DOES NOT PENALIZE
POSSESSION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS
AND DOES NOT CREATE ANY
CRIMINAL PENALTIES WHAT SO EVER.
I WAS PROUD TO SUPPORT THE
HISTORIC TOBACCO REFORMS WE
ENACTED IN TWENTY SIXTEEN WHICH
REMOVE PENALTIES. FOR
POSSESSION AND MADE OUR TOBACCO
CONTROL LAWS MORE EQUITABLE. IN
REALITY THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY
KNOWING THIS IS A WEDGE ISSUE
HAS URGED ME TO GET TOUGH ON
KIDS WHO USED TOBACCO PRODUCTS
BY REESTABLISHING WRECK CONEY
PENALTIES. I'VE DRAWN A CLEAR
LINE IN. IN FORCE SHOULD BE ON
THE TO BACK. NOT THEIR VICTIMS
OPPONENTS ARE ALSO USING THAT
AT BEST INFLATED AND AT WORST
MADE UP ECONOMIC ESTIMATES TO
UNDERMINE SB SEVEN NINE THREE.
THE TOBACCO IS PUT A PRICE ON
OUR KIDS LIVES BUT I REFUSE TO
DO SO. SB SEVEN NINETY THREE A
PUBLIC HEALTH VICTORY FOR
CALIFORNIA WE WILL PROTECT
GROUP WE WILL PROTECT. AGAINST
ANOTHER GENERATION GETTING
ADDICTED TO THESE DEADLY
PRODUCT WHICH IS PRICELESS ARE
HARD FACTS. ABOUT BIG TOBACCO'S
IMPACT ON OUR ECONOMY AND ON
PUBLIC HEALTH. THE ANNUAL CARE
COSTS CAUSED BY SMOKING IN
CALIFORNIA. IS THIRTY. I'M
SORRY. NO UP HERE THE HARD
FACTS ABOUT BIG TOBACCO'S
IMPACT ON OUR ECONOMY AND ON
PUBLIC HEALTH THE ANNUAL HEALTH
CARE COSTS CAUSED BY SMOKING IN
CALIFORNIA ALONE IS THIRTY NINE
POINT TWO NINE BILL DOLLAR.
MEDI COSTS DUE TO SMOKING
AMOUNT TO THREE POINT FIVE
EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
LOST PRODUCTIVITY DUE TO
SMOKING COST TEN POINT THREE
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND
HERE'S THE HUMAN TOLL CALL.
OVER 25% OF CANCER DEATHS IN
CALIFORNIA ARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO
SMOKING. FORTY THOUSAND ADULTS
DIE EACH YEAR FROM THEIR OWN
SMOKING IN OVER FOUR HUNDRED
AND FORTY THOUSAND KIDS NOW
UNDER EIGHTEEN. WILL DIE
PREMATURELY FROM SMOKING. AND
WHAT SCARES BIG TOBACCO THE
MOST ABOUT SB SEVEN NINETY
THREE THE ACT THAT RESTRICTING
THE SALE OF MENTHOL AND CANDY
FLAVORED TOBACCO PRODUCTS IS AN
EFFECTIVE MEANS TO REVIEWS FROM
OAK IN AND PROMOTE. SENSATION
SB SEVEN NINETY THREE TAKE
SWIFT ACTION TO PUT YOUTH AND
POPULATIONS BY PROHIBITING THE
RETAIL SALE OF FLAVORED TOBACCO
PRODUCTS. THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY
HAS A TARGET OUR AUDIENCE OVER
90% OF SMOKERS 90% OF SMOKERS
COLLEAGUES START BEFORE THE AGE
OF A TEAM. AND THE AVERAGE AGE
A NEW SMOKER. IS THIRTEEN.
ENTICING FLAVORS ENTICING
FLAVORS COLORFUL PACKAGING AND
NAMES AND LOGOS SIMILAR TO
POPULAR TYPES OF CANDY HAVE
BEEN USED SINCE I WAS A CHILD
TO GET GET KIDS HOOKED BIG
TOBACCO WEAPONIZED DECADES OF
TREACHERY TO LURE A NEW
GENERATION TO NICOTINE
ADDICTION IT IS TIME WE BREAK
THAT CYCLE. MEMBERS I KNOW IT
IS EASY TO SAY THIS IS ABOUT
BABY SO LET'S TACKLE PEIPING
ONLY. OVER EIGHTY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS HAVE PASSED
FLAVOR BANDS THAT GO BEYOND BAY
BEING. AN EVERYDAY MORE CITIES
AND COUNTIES ARE TAKING ON THE
FIGHT AGAINST BIG TOBACCO.
PASSING THE STATE BILL THAT IS
BEEPING ONLY ORDER MAKES
DANGEROUS EXEMPTIONS ACTUALLY
DOES LESS TO PROTECT KIDS THAN
THE STATUS QUO. DOING SO
UNDERMINES THE HARD WORK OF OURCITIES AND COUNTIES EMPOWERS
BIG TOBACCO TO UNDO STRONGER
LOCAL PROTECTIONS CITING THE
STATE'S ACTIONS. PUT
DIFFERENTLY PASSING A BABY AN
ONLY BILL. A PROTECT SOME KIDS
IN THE SUBURBS BUT IS IT DOES
NOTHING TO PROTECT KIDS IN THE
MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
THAT BIG TOBACCO HAS TARGETING
FOR GENERATIONS. I SIMPLY WILL
NOT SELL OUT ARE YOU. CALLING

SENATOR HILL ON THE IMPORTANCE
OF NEED FOR SB SEVEN NINETY
THREE. LET ME ASSURE YOU WISH
YOU WHAT I SEE IN THE COMMUNITY
AND WHY WE NEED TO BAN THE SALE
OF ALL FLAVORED TOBACCO
PRODUCTS. LOW BACKGROUND ON ME
I BEGAN MY CAREER IN MINISTRY
AT FIRST DAY IN THE CHURCH AND
LOS ANGELES WEST DIRECTOR OF
THE YOUTH MINISTRY. I FELT MANY
LEADERSHIP ROLES OF THE CHURCH
OF THE COMMUNITY. AND AS THE
PERSONAL LOS ANGELES COUNCIL OF
RELIGIOUS LEADERS I AM VERY
CONVINCED THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS
ON THE ISSUE. OF AND WILL BEING.
I OWN FAMILY HISTORY- MY DAD
GREW UP PICKING TOBACCO IN
VIRGINIA AND WHAT HE TOLD ME
ABOUT. BACK THAT TOBACCO IS
VERY SLOW AND SPEAK. BOB
EVERYTHING THAT IT TOUCHES.
THAT'S THE SAME THING WITH THIS
DEBATE. TOBACCO FILES
EVERYTHING IT TOUCHES INCLUDING
THE ARGUMENTS THAT WE DEAL
WITH- ON THIS ISSUE SOME WILL
SAY THAT- BANNING MYTHOLOGY
SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE WOULD NOT
BRING UP THE ERIC GARNER
SITUATION. I CAN'T SAY THAT
THERE WILL BE A SITUATION WHERE
PERHAPS ONE PERSON HAS A
NEGATIVE ENCOUNTER WITH POLICE
OVER A MYTH OUT THERE BUT I CAN
SEE THAT HUNDREDS OF
CALIFORNIANS WILL DIE. BEEN
GOING. ON CANCER HUNDREDS OF
BLACK CALIFORNIANS WILL DIE.
SOME WILL SAY THAT IT'S A
BUDGETARY ISSUE PEOPLE JUST GOT
AIRS ON OUR TO GAMING
RESERVATIONS TO GET- MITTAL
CIGARETTES AND THE STATE WILL
LOSE OUT ON REVENUE. I'M SORRY
I DON'T WANT THE STATE TO
COLLECT BLOOD MONEY ON THE
BACKS OF DEAD AFRICAN
AMERICANS. ARE REJECT THAT
OFFER THAT THAT THAT ARGUMENT.
UP TO THAT THE CHOICE IS. THEY
SHOULD LET BLACK PEOPLE CHOOSE
TO SMOKE- METHYLATED CIGARETTES
IF THEY WANT I WOULD JUST SAY.
OPIOIDS ARE CHOICE ISSUE AS
WELL BUT I WOULD BE THROWN OUT
OF YOUR CHAMBER IF I SUGGESTED
THAT WE ALLOW WHITE PEOPLE TO
USE OPIOIDS BECAUSE THAT SEEMS
TO BE THEIR DRUG OF CHOICE.
THAT COMPLETELY RACIST TO SAY

DISCIPLINE TO AVOID SMOKING-
METHYLATED PRODUCTS. IF THEY
HAVE TO GO ON THE BLACK MARKET

FIRST OF ALL I'M GONNA ASK YOU.
AS THIS WILL BE CALLED
SUBDIVISION FIVE. EXEMPTION
SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE SALE OF
PREMIUM CIGARS SOLD IN CIGAR
LOUNGES WHERE PRODUCTS ARE
PURCHASED AND CONSUMED IN THE
ON THE PREMISES. AND ANSWER
SECTION SIX THE SUBDIVISION
SHALL NOT APPLY TO LOOSE LEAF
TOBACCO ARE YOU WILLING TO
ACCEPT THOSE AMENDMENTS SENATOR
HILL. MISTER CHAIR I AM WILLING
TO ACCEPT IT WOULD APPRECIATE
THE OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE OF THE
INTENT AND WE JUST SAW THESE
AND JUST HEARD THEM TO HAVE-
CONVERSATIONS IN THE DRAFTING
OF THOSE IMAGE TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE- INTENT IS CLEAR IN IT
WITHOUT THAT OPPORTUNITY I
ACCEPT THE. AMEND EXCEPT THE
MOMENT THAT IMPORTANT ARE ALL
RIGHT ENOUGH OKAY RIGHT THANK
YOU THANK YOU AT THIS POINT WE
WILL ASK MEMBERS COMMENTS AND
QUESTIONS OF THE. THANK YOU
CHAIR I JUST US YOU KNOW I WANT
TO HIGHLIGHT AND I APPRECIATE
THAT THIS IS A ISSUE THAT'S
BEEN EXTREMELY. ENGAGING FOR
OUR STATE AND I KNOW FOR THE
LETTER AS WELL. AND I WONDER IF
THE OVER THE LAST DAY. THIS IS-BEEN AN ISSUE THAT- IT HAS BEEN
AN ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN BROUGHT
FORWARD. I'M A FORMER SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER AND WHEN E.
CIGARETTES AND VAPING FIRST
CAME OUT SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAD-
NO IDEA WHAT TO DO- WE DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT THEY WERE WE DON'T
EVEN KNOW. WHAT CATEGORY I'M
FOR THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
BOARDS ASSOCIATION. I HAD TO.
FOR A WITH LEGAL COUNSEL TO
DETERMINE WHETHER IT WAS
COVERED UNDER TOBACCO OR NOT.
I'M IN SO I THINK WE'VE HAD TEN
YEARS OF LOT OF. X. IN OUR
STATE IN AROUND COUNTRY. WHY
FLEET BATTLE IS. PART TO ARE
STILL. AND WHY IT'S BECAUSE A
GATEWAY SO. I APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR HAS- BROUGHT THIS
FORWARD. I KNOW THAT THIS IS
BEEN DIFFICULT IT'S BEEN YEARS
IN THE MAKING BUT I DO WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THE POLICY
DISCUSSIONS AROUND. THIS AND
THE CONNECTION TO- TOBACCO USE
AMONGST MY PEERS- ARE VERY REAL
AND IN SO MANY LOCAL
COMMUNITIES- IT'S BEEN WELL
OVER A DECADE. THAT WE'VE BEEN
GRAPPLING WITH WHAT TO DO ABOUT
THIS. I THINK WITH. IT THERE'S
NO TO THE REST. BLOOMS ARE BIG
ISSUE AND YOU THINK ABOUT THOSE
ELEMENTS THAT- DON'T HELP
RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND YOU
KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE OF THEM
SO YOU KNOW I'M A CO AUTHOR OF
THE BILL I'M SUPPORTING THE
BILL. I DO APPRECIATE THE
ENGAGEMENT AROUND THE STATE ON
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE BUT I
THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS. WHAT
I'VE BEEN IN. POLICYMAKERS AT
THE LOCAL CHANNEL AND STATE AND
NATIONAL LEVEL HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO TACKLE THIS- AND I THINK WE
KNOW A LOT ABOUT THE IMPACT IT
HAS ON MINORS AND HOW THAT
SERVES. AS A GATEWAY FOR
PROLONGED USE- AND ALSO HEALTH
IMPACTS THAT ARE VERY ILL IN A
LOT OF COMMUNITIES RIGHT NOW SO
THANK YOU. THANK YOU MEMBER
LIMON I CAN'T HONESTLY CAN'T
REMEMBER WHO WAS NEXT SO. I HAD
MR RODRIGUEZ. THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN CENTER THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS A VERY IMPORTANT
DISCUSSION FOR IT AS WE TALK
ABOUT THESE VAPING PRODUCTS AND
I THINK THE FLAVORS THAT ARE
OUT THERE THAT ARE REALLY
ATTRACTIVE TO THE CHILDREN ARE
YOU TO THE STATE- ARE LOOKING
AT THIS BILL IN ENCINO THERE
WERE SOME OF PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS THAT YOUR ONE INDEX
TO TAKE. OUR UNFORTUNATE WE
DON'T HAVE THEM A LOT SOONER
RATHER THAN- I WAS ELEVEN HOURS
SO TO SPEAK THAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT. KIND OF A BETTER. WHAT
THESE A MEMBER MEAN AND HOW IT.
IN REALITY TO THE BILL I'M GLAD
YOU ARE WORKING ON SOME OF
THESE AND LOOKING TO ACCEPT. AS
AS- BEING PRESENTED- BUT STILL
HAVING SOME ISSUES TO GRASS
AROUND IT- I'M TORN ABOUT THIS
BILL IT'S IMPORTANT BILL IT'S-
SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY. A
NEEDED AND TO ADDRESS BUT- I
JUST HAVE TO COMMENTS I WANTED
TO MAKE ABOUT THIS BILL. ONE IS.
THE LAST. THAT'S BEING TAUGHT
ABOUT AND STAFF ANALYSIS OF
ABOUT TWO HUNDED MILLION
DOLLARS- WHAT DO WE LOOK TO DO.
BECAUSE OF THAT LOST REVENUE TO
OUR BUDGET- WILL LOOK AT A
STATE BUDGET OF OVER FIFTY
BILLION DOLLARS IN LOST REVENUE
OR OR AND- AND- DILEMMA THAT
WE'RE GOING TO BE- HOW TO
SELECT OR OR CURRENT BUDGET FOR
THE NEXT YEAR. MOVING FORWARD
AND- FUNDING SOME OF THESE
SERVICES AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE
BENEFITTED FROM. OUR FROM- THE
SALE SOME OF THESE PRODUCTS.
ARE THE SECOND ONE UPS YOU KNOW
AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE
BILL. IS ENFORCEMENT OF IT WHO
DO WE LOOK TO. ENFORCE THAT
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT BEING
SO. COMMUNITIES WILL LOOK AT
THAT ISN'T I'M IS BUT- FIRST
RIGHT THEY'RE NOT YOU WITH.
COVERT PARTNERS. THE IS.
LIMITED SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE
WOULD LOOK TO ENFORCE IT- JUST
OPPOSED TO COMMENTS AND- I'M
LEANING. MAYBE SUPPORT THIS
BILL IF I DO WOULD BE AS
OCCURRED VOTE BECAUSE OF ARE
WHATS BUT- MYSELF AROUND THE- A
MAN. THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED. I
WOULD RESERVE MY- SUPPORT. TO I
NEVER FOR SO IF YOU CAN JUST
KIND OF PIGGYBACK ON THE TWO
THE PURCHASE THANK REMEMBER IN
IN REALLY THE COST THE OR THE
LOS INCOME AS WANT TO SAY I HIS
BE OVER SHADOWED BY WHAT IS THE
REALITY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
HEALTHCARE COSTS THAT
CALIFORNIA WILL SAVE AS I
MENTIONED IN MY OPENING
STATEMENT SAID YOU KNOW THERE
ARE THE BIG SPECIALLY LIKE THE
MEDIC CAL COST THE SAVINGS OF
THREE POINT FIVE EIGHT BILLION
DOLLARS PER YEAR- WITH THIS
LEGISLATIONWITH THIS BILL
PASSED WITH A BE A TREMENDOUS
SAVINGS OF HEALTH COSTS THIS IS
THE- BILLION IN. NORMAL HEALTH
CARE CURRENT J. TWO WHICH
SHOULD REDUCE HEALTH OF UP THAT
MOST OF US PAY FOR OUR HEALTH
INSURANCE IT IN TOTAL THIS WILL
GREAT SAVINGS IT WILL BE A
REVENUE LOSS AND FRANKLY TO
LOOK AS THE AS AN AUSTIN
PRICING PLACE ON IPHONE WILDER
KIT BURKE T. YOUR. BROUGHT OVER
TO T. INTO IN THE VEHICLE
SAVINGS. THANK YOU BEFORE WE
MOVE TO THE NEXT A MEMBER JUST
WANT TO CLARIFY SOMETHING IS MY
ERROR I APOLOGIZE IT'S A LONG
TEST OF ALREADY WE STILL HAVE
MANY BILLS AHEAD OF US SO- I DO
WANT TO CLARIFY THERE WERE
ACTUALLY THERE ACTUALLY THREE
PIECES OF THE AMENDMENT. NUMBER
ONE A. B. WE'RE WE'RE ASKING
FOR WE'RE EXEMPTING ESSENTIALLY
A PREMIUM CIGAR WE'RE DEFINING
THAT AS ANY CIGAR THERE'S NOT
MASS PRODUCED BY USE OF
MECHANIZATION AS A RAPPER IT IS
MADE ENTIRELY FROM WHOLE
TOBACCO AND AS A WHOLESALE
PRICE OF NO LESS THAN TWELVE
DOLLARS. THAT IS IN THE
SUBDIVISION SHALL NOT APPLY TO
THE SALE OF PREMIUM CIGARS
HOLDEN. AND LOUNGES WHERE
PRODUCTS ARE PURCHASED AND
CONSUMED ON THE PREMISES. AND
THEN THE THIRD PIECE OF THIS IS
IT SHALL NOT APPLY TO LOOSELY
TOBACCO. WHICH IS MEANT. TO GO
TO ENCOMPASS PIPES. AND ALSO
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE USING THIS
FOR A CEREMONIES IN THE NATIVE
AMERICAN INDIAN CEREMONY SO.
THAT IS NOT WAS NOT AS BAD AS
THE CONTEXT IN WHICH THESE
THESE ARE ARE PRESENTED SO I
APOLOGIZE THAT I DIDN'T MAKE
THAT CLEAR I DO HAVE A COPY OF
IT THANK YOU. I UNDERSTAND THAT
SO THANK YOU. SO I'M TRYING TO
THINK WHO IS I THINK MISTER
RAMOS WAS NEXT. THEN MR MCCARTY
AND MISS MISS BURKE. WE'RE OF
GOING AROUND HERE NOT NOT
IGNORING YOU MISTER FOR. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR- FIRST
OPPORTUNITY AND THANK YOU FOR
INTRODUCING THIS MUCH. NEEDED
BAIL- THERE IS AREAS- THAT I
STILL HAVE CONCERNS AND THAT'S
THE FUNDING MECHANISM OF IT-
CERTAINLY BROUGHT UP THE GOOD
WORK THAT FIRST FIVE HAS DONE
TO EDUCATE THE COMMUNITY. ON
THE PROBLEMS WITH TOBACCO BUT
YET WE DON'T HAVE THAT REVENUE
STREAM FOR EDUCATION ON THE
VAPING PRODUCTS OF IT AND WE'VE
TALKED AHMET LAYING ON THAT
COMPONENT OF IT. SO I WANTED
TO- AS THIS DIALOGUE CONTINUES
TO MOVE FORWARD THAT IT'S CLEAR
THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE
OF DISCUSSION ON THE FUNDING
STREAM FOR THE VAPING PRODUCTS
SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GET THE
FUNDING. INTO THE LOCAL LEVEL
TO BE ABLE TO EDUCATE A LOT OF
THE- COMMUNITIES- THAT NEED
THAT EDUCATION ON THE VAPING
PRODUCT ITSELF. WE'VE TALKED AT
LENGTH AGAIN ON WHAT WE START
AT THE VAPING I AGREE THERE
NEEDS TO BE. SOME TYPE OF
BANNING ON THOSE PER BUT ALSO
THEIR- COMPONENT TO FALL SAME
REVENUE MACINNES. FIRST FIVE
WE'VE TALKED AT LENGTH ON THAT
AND ALSO. TALKING ABOUT TOBACCO
IN THE ILL THAT ARE THERE NOW
THAT WE'RE INTO THAT BUT WE
ALSO TO SEE. THAT CREATION
AMERICANA WAS A- SO THINK THAT
ABLE TO FORWARD THINK THROUGH
THESE TOPICS THAT WE WOULD BE
HIT WITH THAT EDUCATIONAL
PROCESS ON THAT ASPECT ALSO.
AND I GET TO- WHERE MY
COLLEAGUES. MONNING BROUGHT UP
AS FAR AS THE ENFORCEMENT
MECHANISM CERTAINLY ONE OF. I
THINK WHOSE HAVE THE RESOURCES
FOR. IS IT LOCAL LAUNCH. WE
ASKED TO BRING THAT FOR AND
I'VE I BRING THAT UP NOT SOME.
TO JUST MORE TO TALK ABOUT THE
PRODUCT THE PROBABILITY OF
WHO'S IN FORTUNATE BECAUSE WE
SEEN WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITH
THE- WITH ILLEGAL MARIJUANA AND
DISPENSARIES THAT ARE OUT THERE
AND NOW WE'RE TRYING TO CLOSE
THOSE DOWN TO GET THE REVENUE
INTO THE LOCAL JURISDICTIONS SO
THESE ARE ISSUES THAT ARE VERY
REAL- AND THESE ARE IS STILL.
ARE VERY- CONCERNING TO ME
SPELL WHEN WE START TO TALK
ABOUT VAPING AND THEN WE GOING
TO- THE TOBACCO IN SOME OF
THESE OTHER AREAS BUT YET WE
HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT.
WHERE THAT ENFORCEMENT'S GONNA
COME FROM THESE ARE THINGS THAT
I WANT TO BRING UP AND MAKE
SURE THAT THE WERE ON RECORD
TALKING ABOUT THESE REASONS IN
THE FUNDING STREAM THAT I
BELIEVE SHOULD BE PART OF A
DISCUSSION MOVING FORWARD
SHOULD THIS BILL CONTINUE TO BE
DEBATED- AND THESE ISSUES ALONG
THE WAY THANK. YOU MISTER CHAIR
THANK YOU SENATOR. MISTER MISS
BURKE I THINK OR I THINK AND
THEN A STRICT MCCARTY. PLEASE
PLEASE GO AHEAD MR. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND- FIRST I'D
LIKE TO THANK THE SENATOR FOR
BEING SO GRACIOUS WHEN WE
SPOKE- ABOUT THIS BILL WE
HAVEN'T ALWAYS AGREED BUT I
BELIEVE WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A VERY
GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP AND I
HAVE A TON OF RESPECT. FOR THE
SENATOR AND HIS WORK CAN YOU
CAN YOU SPEAK UP JUST A YEAH
FOR THE SENATOR AND HIS WORK-
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
BEFORE I SAY WHEN I'M GETTING
READY TO SAY. THAT THAT IS
CLEAR THANK YOU HOWEVER.
THERE'S A HOWEVER- YOU KNOW I
THINK MOST OF US AGREE HERE
THAT. WE DON'T WANT TO SEE KIDS
SMOKING IN FACT IF I HAD IT MY
WAY NO ONE WITH SMOKE. I'M NOT
A FAN AT ALL. THAT SAID
DECIDING HOW TO VOTE TODAY HAS
BEEN REAL A REAL CHALLENGE FOR
ME. AND I WANT TO BE SUPER
CLEAR ABOUT THE CRUX OF MY
ANNOYANCE IS THAT THE BILL IS
INDICATIVE OF A TREND THAT I
FIND BELITTLING AND
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE WHITE
OR GOLD OF INCLUSIVITY
EMPOWERMENT AND ENRICHMENT THAT
OUR STATE CONTINUALLY PREACHES.
SMOKING ADDICTION MUCH LIKE
ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY IS USUALLY A
SYMPTOM OF A MUCH LARGER
PROBLEM. THESE PRODUCTS TO
BECOME VICE IS USED TO ESCAPE
REALITY. TAKE A DRIVE THROUGH
AND THEIR PORTION OF MY
DISTRICT AND YOU WOULD BE HARD
PRESSED TO FIND A LIQUOR STORE.
DRIVE THROUGH THE OTHER SIDE
AND YOU'LL BE HARD PRESSED TO
FIND A GROCERY STORE OR A
HOSPITAL YES. THERE IS A LIQUOR
STORE CONVENIENCE STORE ON
EVERY CORNER. AND PEOPLE WANT
TO TALK TO ME ABOUT COMMUNITIES
BEING TARGETED. OVER AND OVER
IN THE BILLS WE PASS I SEE
SYMPTOMS OF OUR STATE PROBLEMS
BEING ADDRESSED AND WEEK
CASUALLY GLOSS OVER THE
UNDERLYING CAUSES OF THOSE
PROBLEMS AND THIS BILL IS NO
DIFFERENT. ACCORDING TO THE CDC
ADULTS BELOW THE POVERTY LEVEL
OR MORE THAN TWICE AS LIKELY TO
SMOKE AS ADULTS WHO ARE ABOVE
THE POVERTY LEVEL AN ANNUAL
INCOME. THAT GAP JUMPS THREE
TIMES MORE LIKELY WHEN WE
COMPARE ADULTS WITH LESS THAN A
HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION TO ADULTS
CO GRAD. IT'S NOT COINCIDENTAL
WE KNOW THERE IS A DIRECT
CORRELATION BETWEEN POVERTY AND
THINGS LIKE SMOKING AND
DRINKING THAT HELP PEOPLE AND
THESE ARE THINGS THAT HELP
PEOPLECOPE WITH THE STRESS AND
TRAUMA OF PROPERTY. SINCE THIS
BILL. FIX THIS BILL IS MADE
OVER TO THIS HOUSE I'VE DEALT
WITH. MORE CALLS MORE MEETINGS
MORE TAX SOMETIMES AROUND THE
CLOCK NOT TO MENTION SOCIAL
MEDIA TRYING TO PUSH ME IN MY
OPINION IN ONE DIRECTION OR
ANOTHER AND IT THANKS FOR THE
QUESTION. WHERE IS THIS FURY ON
ACTIVITIES AROUND BILLS THAT
TACKLE REAL POVERTY AND
HOMELESSNESS ISSUES. OR TO
PROTECT KIDS ARE WHEN IT COMES
TO PROTECTING THE LIBERTIES OF
BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE. I'M NOT
SURE I SEE HOPE YOU'RE- I SEE
FOLKS BANG ON A DRUM THAT CLAIM
TO PROTECT BLACK AND BROWN
PEOPLE BUT ONCE AGAIN
CRIMINALIZING THEIR CHOICES
WHEN WE SHOULD BE CREATING
OPPORTUNITIES AND SERVE AND
INCENTIVIZING BETTER CHOICES.
EVEN MORE CONFUSING IS THAT
WHILE WE SIT HERE AND LAUNCH
THAT ANY TOBACCO USE IS HARMFUL
THIS BILL CONTAINS A CARVE OUT
FOR A CERTAIN TYPE OF PRODUCT.
FOR NO SCIENTIFIC BASED REASON.
THE PROPONENTS SAY THAT YOU
WOULD THAT YOU WANT TO HELP
MINORITIES FROM DETRIMENTAL
HEALTH IMPACTS THAT ARISE FROM
TOBACCO USE ONLY THEN TO
INCLUDE LANGUAGE THAT APPLIES
ONE GROUP OF MINORITIES IS MORE
RESPONSIBLE. THAN ANY OTHER TO
INDULGE IN THOSE PRODUCTS. MY
STRUGGLE LEADING UP TO THIS
HEARING HAS BEEN BASED IN THESE
KIND OF FRUSTRATIONS. AND I
CERTAINLY HOPE. THAT MOVING
FORWARD THAT I CAN SEE THE SAME
ENTHUSIASM AND COMMITMENT TO
LIFTING BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE
UP NOT JUST TREATING US OUT
WHENEVER YOU OR WHATEVER OF
THOSE SEE IF IT. HOWEVER I
DECIDED TO VOTE TODAY I HAVE TO
BE HONEST IT'S NOT A WIN FOR
ME. I WILL BE DISAPPOINTED AND
WHATEVER I END UP VOTING TODAY.
BUT I THINK YOU FOR THE HARD
WORK SENATOR I THANK YOU FOR
THE HARD WORK MISTER CHAIR AND
TO ALL THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
WHO SPENT. COUNTLESS TIMES
ASKING ME ABOUT THIS ISSUE I
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR SUPPORT
AND CONVERSATION AS WELL. THANK
YOU MISS BURKE MR MCCARTY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND-
THANK SENATOR HILL FOR PUSHING
THIS FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS
THIS IS. AN ISSUE THAT IS BEING
HER UP IN DOWN OR- THERE ARE A
HUNDRED JURISDICTIONS I BELIEVE
THAT HAVE TAKEN SOME SORT OF
POLICY AT THE- LOCAL- THE LOCAL
GOVERNMENT ON FLAVORED TOBACCO
INDOOR ENERVATING AND- THE TIME
IS RIGHT THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE
EPIDEMIC. THERE A COUNTRY
BEFORE KOPET NINETEEN HIT THIS
WAS THE PUBLIC HEALTH EPIDEMIC
AND THE ISSUE OF THE DAY ON THE
NEW YORK TIMES DAILY AND FRONT
LINE AS FAR AS WHAT'S HAPPENING
ACROSS OUR COUNTRY. IN URBAN
NEIGHBORHOODS IN MIDDLE AMERICA
IN SCHOOLS UP AND DOWN OUR
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE
BATHROOM UP. THE BATHROOMS ARE
LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL HERE AT CAL
MIDDLE SCHOOL ON SATURDAY THE
LOCAL PARENTS WERE TELLING
THEIR THEIR THE JUL ROOMS WHERE
KIDS WERE GOING AND ON THEIR
BREAKS HAVING AN OPPORTUNITY
ENGAGE OF FLAVORED TOBACCO. I
SAW APPARENTLY TIME AND THEY
HAD THIS LITTLE HOODIE AND A
LITTLE STRING ON THE HOODIE WAS
A FLAVORED- FLAVORED TOBACCO
THAT DEVICE AND THERE ARE IN
THE CLASSROOM AND SO- YOU KNOW
CERTAINLY THESE THINGS CAN'T BE
NON FLAVORED AND THAT'S A
REALITY BUT LET'S FACE IT. THE
HOOK. ARE YOU. FOR FLAVORS THAT
ARE JUST ROMANTICIZING WHAT'S
COOL I I'LL NEVER FORGET. LAST
YEAR I TOOK OUR LITTLE GIRLS TO
SELL GIRL SCOUTS APPEAR AT
SAFEWAY THEY'RE TEN YEARS OLD.
AND WEBER MY LITTLE DAUGHTER
VICTORIA SAID DADDY. THAT
CIGARETTE SMELL SO GOOD WHAT
WAS IT. SOMEONE WALKED OUT WITH
VAPING SECOND SMELLED SO GOOD
CIVIC CENTER MANON SOMETHING
ELSE WHICH IS THEY TASTED GOOD
IT SMELLS SO GOOD IT TENURE.
AND I HOPE TO GOD MY KIDS NEVER
GET ADDICTED TO. TOBACCO
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THE
COMPANIES HAVE ONE MISSION TO
MAKE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR
THEIR COMPANIES AND THEIR
SHAREHOLDERS AND THEY HAVE ONE.
BY PRODUCT AND THAT'S KILLING
PEOPLE. THERE'S NO GOOD THAT
COMES OUT OF THIS PRODUCT. THAT
HEALTH COSTS ARE TREMENDOUS AND
WE'LL GET TO THAT THE SECOND
ONE FOR ON THAT. LIKE THIS AND
THAT COMPLICATED THIS IS
BIPARTISAN IN THE SENATE THE
SAME BUILD A STRONGER BILL AT
OR REPUBLICAN SENATORS VOTE FOR
THE- SO I HOPE THAT THIS. HOUSE
ST IS NOT THAT COME. AND YOUR
CONSTITUENTS BACK HOME THE ONES
YOU CARE ABOUT THIS. ARE
TALKING ABOUT HEALTH MATTERS
CERTAINLY THERE ARE A FEW
BUSINESSES THAT ARE GOING TO
LOSE. MONEY AND PROFITS FOR
THIS BUT WERE MORE ABOUT SAVING
LIVES IN CALIFORNIA HELPING A
FEW BUSINESSES THRIVE SELLING
TOBACCO PRODUCTS THE BILL. THIS
ISSUE TOO IS I THINK VERY
IMPORTANT DURING COPA NINETEEN.
BECAUSE FACE IT THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE ARE FACING PROBLEMS FROM.
FROM VAPING HAVE HAVE. IMPACTED
I MEAN SYSTEMS AND THERE'S THE
REST OF THE YOUNGER PEOPLE I
WOULD SAY THERE'S A PROBABLY A
BIG CONNECTION WITH PEOPLE WHO
HAVE- VAPING ADDICTION AND
THAT- FRANKLY HAVE SUCCESS OF
IT HAVE HAVE. HER CAR MORE
LIKELY TO DO. OKAY CAN MORE
LIKELY TO BE AT RISK BURKE OF
THE NINETEEN. I WANT TO ADDRESS
THE ISSUE OF THE FINANCES FOR
THIS AND- LET'S FACE IT WE ARE
THE HEALTH COMMITTEE WE'RE NOT
THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
WHEN AT THE BUDGET COMMITTEE
ARE HAVE TWO DAYS TO LOOK AT
THE HELP THAT. THE LABOR
TOBACCO HURTS. THE HEALTH OF
CALIFORNIANS AND OUR KIDS I
THINK THAT THE LAND WE SHOULD
BE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW. AND
IT'S TRUE I SAID THIS WHEN MY
COLLEAGUES LAST NIGHT I DON'T
WANT TO FLIPPANTLY JUST
DISMISS. TWO HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS BECAUSE THAT'S MONEY
BUT A TWO HUNDRED BILLION
DOLLAR BUDGET. TWO HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS IN THE MOST OF
THE TOBACCO TAX MONEY IS ONE
TIME RIGHT. THE INCOMING MONEY
TO FIRST FIVE BODIES ACROSS
CALIFORNIA THESE FIRST FIVE
BODIES WHO SUPPORT THIS BILL
HAVE SAID THEY WILL GLADLY GO
OUT OF BUSINESS TOMORROW. THEY
USE THEIR MIND. AND FOR THESE
pTHINGS LIKE EARLY EDUCATION AND
HEALTH CARE FOCUSING ON KIDS
ZERO TWO FIVE THEY KNOW IT'S A
DECLINING REVENUE SOURCE. THEY
DON'T USE ANY OTHER MONEY TO
FUND ON GOING THINKS THERE'S
NOT MONEY TO FUND OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM NOT MONEY FOR
KATE NOT MONEY FOR EARLY AT.
BECAUSE IT'S ALL. ONE TIME AND
IS THE- GRANTED LAST YEAR. WE
HAVE A NOW ATTACKS ON THE FOR.
THAT HAS IT AS GET SO THIS IS A
GREAT TO DO THIS BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT TO BE A LOSS OR
SOMETHING ISN'T REAL. I WILL
TWO OF THE FULL EFFECT YET SO
AS FAR AS THE IMPACT FOR OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR OUR- IT'S
MINIMAL. SENATOR DOLE SAID THE
SAVINGS ARE TEN TWENTY TIME
GREATER IS AS WHAT YOU WITH
WITHOUT HAVING TO PAY THESE
TREMENDOUS COST TO OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM AND MEDIC COW- SO
THIS IS THIS IS RIGHT FOR SO
MANY REASONS I WOULD HAVE
PREFERRED THAT THE OF THE OTHER
PERSON BUT THIS IS A LIBERTY OF
LEGISLATIVE BODY AND I FULLY
RESPECT OUR OUR CHAIR AND OUR-
SENATOR- YOU KNOW WORKING ON
THIS SENATOR ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
THE NIGHT HAD THE SAME DAY LAST
YEAR THIS YEAR WE DECIDED TO GO
WITH ONE DEAL WITH WITH THE
BILL HERE BEFORE CITY ITSELF
CERTAINLY PROUD TO BE A JOY
AUTHORS AND I WANT ADDRESS
WHOLE. THEY SAY THE VISION I
THINK IT'S A IT'S A YOU TO SAVE
THEY WERE GONNA BE ARRESTING.
FOR USING THIS PRODUCT FOR
SMOKING A MENTHOL CIGARETTES
WERE SAYING THAT NO LONGER
COULD PEOPLE SELL THE PRODUCT.
BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ARRESTING PEOPLE FOR
POSSESSION. WE'RE NOT GOING TO
MEET THE INCREASING PENALTIES
FOR ANY OF THAT. BUT I DO THINK
THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG
IN OUR SYSTEM WOULD HAVE IF YOU
HAVE A LIQUOR STORE AND YOU CAN
LEGALLY SELL BOOZE TO A MINOR.
YOU GET POPPED ONCE OR TWICE
YOU LOSE YOUR LIQUOR LICENSE
AND AS A SEVERE CONSEQUENCES
BUT IF YOU'RE A- CONVENIENCE
STORE. AND YOU HAVE MULTIPLE OF
SELLINGTO MINORS THERE'S NOT
THAT CONSEQUENCES THAT NOW
THEY'RE BUILT ANOTHER DAY I
THINK THAT WE NEED TO GO AND
ADDRESS THAT I THINK WE DID
HAVE SOME PARITY ON THAT. THERE
IS NO DISINCENTIVE FOR
INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR- BUT IN
SOME THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR US
TO DO THIS IN CALIFORNIA- AGAIN
WHERE THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. AND
I AM IN FULL SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE AND I WOULD LIKE TO
MAKE A OF A MOST AND- ON THIS
BILL MISTER JACK. THANK MCCARTY.
THAT'S CORRECT. PERMISSION TO
READ. COURSE THANK YOU I JUST
WANT TO READ A LITTLE BIT ON
THE FISCAL IMPACT FROM THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THAT STATE
THAT THE ESTIMATED TAX REVENUE
LOSS OF THIS BILLIS A HUNDRED
AND TEN MILLION THIS FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY EIGHTY FIVE MILLION
FROM CIGARETTES TO MILLION FROM
TOBACCO PRODUCTS AND TWO
HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN MILLION
FOR NEXT YEAR'S FISCAL YEAR.
THE FIRST ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR
THAT THE BAND WILL BE IN EFFECT
IN ADDITION THE SOCI TAX SALES
LOST THIS OF ANY SIX POINT
MILLION TWELVE MILLION TO THE
RURAL FIVE FIFTY AT THE-
SOMEONE SO. ALL OF THAT IS
AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF US TO BE
ABLE TO DIGEST. I BRING THAT UP
BECAUSE THIS BILL HAS BEEN
MOVED- AND BROUGHT TO THIS
HOUSE FOR US TO VOTE ON- IN AND
IT IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT I
DON'T THINK THERE IS ANYONE IN
THIS FLOOR RIGHT NOW OR IN BOTH
HOUSES. THAT AGREE WITH THE
CRISIS ON YOUTH KEEPING
EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE THAT MOVE
FORWARD I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO
ANYONE MEMBER. IN EITHER HOUSE
AND IN EITHER PARTY OR ONE
PARTY. THAT DISAGREES WITH. I
BUT THIS IDEA THAT ONLY BECAUSE
THIS IS A- POLICY COMMITTEE.
DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC THAT
WE WILL NOT THINK ABOUT THE
FISCAL IMPACT JUST SEEMS A
LITTLE. UNORTHODOX AND A
LITTLE- NARROW MINDED NEXT
YEAR. WE WILL BE FACED WITH AN
MASSIVE REVENUE LOSS WE WILL BE
ASKED TO MAKE DECISIONS ON
THINGS TO CUT. I THINK THAT MY
COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE EXPRESSED
THOSE CONCERNS ARE ALREADY
THINKING ABOUT THAT. SO NEXT
YEAR WHEN WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
BUDGET. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
THINK OKAY DO WE CUT FUNDS FROM
CHILD CARE. DO WE CUT FUNDS
FROM TEACHERS NURSES I JUST
THAT'S PROGRAM WHICH HELPS
SENIORS AND THOSE ITH
DISABILITIES. THOSE ARE REAL
CUTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO FACE. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION MAY SEEM LIKE A DROP IN
THE BUCKET IN A BUDGET THAT'S
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. BUT FOR
NONPROFITS AND FOR OUR
CONSTITUENTS BACK HOME THAT IS
A LOT OF MONEY. AND SO I FIND
MYSELF IN A VERY STRANGE
SITUATION OF HAVING TO BRING
CERTAIN THINGS UP AND HAVE BEEN
ASKING QUESTIONS AND I JUST
WANNA MAKE IT. CLEAR TO THE
MEMBERS OF OUR HOUSE AND THE
OTHER HOUSE- TO THE ADVOCATES
TO THE LOBBYIST. ALL OF US THAT
ARE SITTING IN THESE CHAIRS
RIGHT NOW IN THIS AMAZING
INCREDIBLE SPACE. HAVE A RIGHT
A DUTY AND OBLIGATION. AND
QUITE FRANKLY A PRIVILEGE. TO
BE ABLE TO ASK QUESTIONS. SO
WHEN YOUR RESPONSE ME WHEN I AM
ASKING THE QUESTION IS WHY
AREN'T YOU AUTOMATICALLY WITH
US. I HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH
THAT. BECAUSE IT IS MY JOB TO
ASK QUESTIONS IT IS MY JOB TO
UNDERSTAND IT IS MY JOB TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE ARE MOVING POLICY.
THAT MAKES SENSE. SO I'M GLAD
AND GRATEFUL FOR THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAVE HAD
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY
CHALLENGING BILL TO A LOT OF
PEOPLE FOR THE- ISSUES THAT
HAVE ALREADY BEEN A- I THINK
THE VAPING ISSUE IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE ADDRESS WE
HAD A BILL. IN THIS HOUSE. THAT
WAS REFERRED TO A DIFFERENT
COMMITTEE THAT WAS REFERRED-
I'M SORRY THAT DID NOT GET
REFERRED. ON THE SENATE SIDE-
THAT ACTUALLY ADDRESS SOME OF
THE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE ARE
THINKING ABOUT FROM A MEMBER OF
THIS HOUSE. AND I'VE HAD TO
EXPLAIN TO SOME FOLKS. SOME
TERMINOLOGY THAT IS USED ON THE
STREET IN TERMS OF WHAT IS A
BLUNT. I HAVE TO I HAVE A
COUPLE OF MEMBERS AND- THEY
DIDN'T KNOW. SO WHEN WE ARE
TALKING ABOUT AND IT'S A LITTLE
FUNNY MAYBE BUT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. YOU
KNOW I THINK IT YOUR WHATEVER
THAT IS USED BY YOUNG PEOPLE
AND ADULTS THAT HAVE CLEARED
OUT AND THEN YOU PUT A CANNABIS
AND IT. OR WE'D IN IT RIGHT.
THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY SMOKING
A CIGARETTE THE OTHER SMOKING A
BLUNT BECAUSE THAT'S JUST THE
WAY THAT SOCIETY WORKS. AND THE
FACT THAT WE ARE PASSING
LEGISLATION. ON TOBACCO- AND
NOT KNOW EXACTLY HOW IT IS THAT
PEOPLE USE IT. IS JUST MIND
BOGGLING TO ME BECAUSE WE HAVE
TO REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE
PEOPLE BEYOND. THIS CAPITOL
THIS BUILDING. THAT ARE GOING
TO BE LOOKING TO US THINKING
WHAT ARE YOU DOING. BUT THERE
IS A BIGGER THERE IS A BIGGER
GOAL- I'M ACTUALLY SURPRISED WE
HAVEN'T INCLUDED FLAVORED
CANNABIS IN THIS CONVERSATION
BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO SOMETHING.
THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE USING BUT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VAPING AND
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TOBACCO NOW
I HOPE THE MOMENTUM. FOR FEVER
CANNABIS IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT
WE CAN LOOK AT IN THE FUTURE.
BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO AN ISSUE
THAT YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE IN THEIR
BATHROOMS AT HIGH SCHOOLS THAT
I HAVE HEARD DIRECTLY. FROM
YOUNG STUDENTS IN MY COMMUNITY
AND MY DISTRICT ON THE OVER. A
CELL IS ILLEGAL CANNABIS
DISPENSARY IS THAT JUST POP IN
IN AND OUT. AND SO IF THE ISSUE
REALLY IS TO ADDRESS. TEEN
VAPING AND TEEN CONSUMPTION
THEN I HOPE THAT THAT'S A
CONVERSATION AND THE POLITICAL
COURAGE THAT WE CAN ALSO
INCLUDE ONE LOOK AT.
LEGISLATION IN THE FUTURE SO
AGAIN THANK YOU- TO THE CHAIR
INTO THE AUTHOR FOR THE
CONVERSATION- I DO BELIEVE
THAT- THIS IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT- BUT I JUST AGAIN
WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR TO
EVERYONE THAT IT IS OUR JOB AND
OUR OBLIGATION OR DUTY TO ASK
QUESTIONS. AND THINK ABOUT THE
HOLISTIC WAY IN WHICH WE DO
POLICY AND A HOLISTIC WAY IN
WHICH WE LOOK AT HOW THE BUDGET
IS IMPACTED AND WILL BE
IMPACTING THE COMMUNITY MOVING
FORWARD NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER FOR. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND- CENTER THANK
YOU- WAS GREAT TALKING TO YOU
EARLIER TODAY- A LOT OF WHAT I
SAID HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED
AND I DO WANT TO REITERATE A
COUPLE THINGS THOUGH BECAUSE I
DO FIND IT FASCINATING. THAT WE
ARE THE FATHER OF TWO KIDS- WE
ARE TASKED TO PROTECT OUR KIDS
AND- LIKE- ASSEMBLY MEMBER FROM
SADDAM SACRAMENTO HERE. WHEN
YOU GO INTO A STORE AND YOU
SMELL WAIT. I ACTUALLY CAN'T
TELL THE DIFFERENCE WHETHER
IT'S NICOTINE OR TOBACCO INDOOR
CANNABIS I CAN'T. SO IF WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION
ABOUT PROTECTING YOUTH FROM
VAPING. I DO FIND IT
FASCINATING THAT WE HAVE NOT
BROUGHT IN CANNABIS INTO THIS
DISCUSSION. YOU GO INTO A
DISPENSARY IT'S IKE ****
WONKA'S CHOCOLATE FACTORY. THEY
GOT FLAVORS ALL OVER THE PLACE
STOP THE DON'T EVEN SOUND GOOD
TO ADULTS. BUT NONE THE LESS
THEY'RE SELLING AND YOU CAN'T
TELL ME. MARKETED TO ADULTS.
NOT HAPPENING BUT SOMEHOW.
WE'VE ALLOWED THE CAMERAS
INDUSTRY JUST TO GO OFF AND DO
THEIR THING AND I'M NOT EXACTLY
POSE BUT I DON'T KNOW A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT AE SMOKING
CANNABIS OR CBD SIDE OF THINGS.
AS PRIMARILY THE THC SIDE
CANNABIS IS WHAT THEY'RE
WORKING FOR. SAID I WASN'T VERY
VERY CONCERNING TO ME AS WELL
AS THE HOOKAH ASPECT OF THIS WE
EXEMPTED HOOKAH IN THE ORIGINAL
BILL. WHAT I FIND INTERESTING
BECAUSE RIGHT BEHIND BEING
HOOKAH IS THE NUMBER TO. HAS A
NUMBER TO A NUMBER OF YOU DOING
IT. NOT TO MENTION THAT THE
RUNNING AROUND WITH ESSENTIALLY
A BALL WITH TUBES OUT OF IT
FEDERAL SUCKING ON AN X.
SPECIALLY IN THE BEEN A GLOBAL
PANDEMIC THAT WE'RE DEALING
WITH WE'RE JUST SIX. EXPECTING
THEM TO SAY THAT DOES
EVERYTHING. GOING TO HAPPEN. I
AM VERY VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THAT. AS WELL AS THE ECONOMIC
LOSS OF TAX REVENUE LOST TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS WE'RE
MOVING FORWARDS BEEN SAID A
COUPLE TIMES WITH. TWO HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS. THAT WE HAVE
JUST THROWN OUT THE DOOR IF
THIS THING PASSES AND RIGHT NOW
IN THE STATE THAT IS
DESPERATELY. TRYING TO FIND A
REVENUE STREAM. WE'RE GOING TO
WHACK. AND ALLOW TO GO TO
MEDICAL AND GUESS WHOSE
DISTRICT HAS A LOT OF MEDICARE.
RECIPIENTS OF MINE AND I KNOW A
LOT OF YOURS DO AS WELL SO WHAT
ARE WE GONNA GO I THOUGHT REAL
HARD LAST YEAR TO KEEP IT IT
SERVICES IN AMERICA. MAYBE
THAT'S GONE SO THE DIABETIC
PATIENTS SUFFER SO WE'RE
PICKING THESE WINNERS AND WE'RE
PICKING THESE LOSERS. AND I AM
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND
THAT IS WHY I DO WANT TO
PRESENT A SET OF AMENDMENTS I
KNOW THERE WAS A MOTION MADE.
SO I WANT TO MAKE SUBSTITUTE
MOTION. FOR A SET OF AMENDMENTS
THAT TAKE THIS BILL. FROM A
TOBACCO BAN FLAVORED TOBACCO

MISTER CHAIR- I DO HAVE A
COUPLE MORE- JUST STATEMENT THE
CALLER OF COURSE. AND I WOULD
LIKE US IN THE RIGHT I KNOW
HE'S ON THE PHONE AND HAS BEEN
TRYING TO GET IN A COUPLE TIMES
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A
VERY SIMPLE QUESTION SO IF WE
COULD- BRING HIM ON THE LINE.
BUT THERE IS A- YOUNG MAN- I
KNOW ONCE AGAIN THE CINEMA FROM
SACRAMENTO MAY COMMENT THAT HE
DOES NOT KNOW OF ANY. YOU KNOW
BODY THAT'S BEEN ARRESTED
BECAUSE OF ILLEGAL. CIGARETTE
SALES AND GUIDING THEIR
GARDENING OR- WE SAID
POSSESSION. THIS IS WHAT I'M
I'M WORRIED ABOUT. LIKE THESE
FOLKS. WHEREVER THEY ARE. IF
THEY WANT TO BUY THIS IF THEY
HAVE AN A PROBLEM. THEY'RE
GOING TO GET THIS PRODUCT. WE
KNOW THIS WE DO ACROSS A LOT OF
DIFFERENT THINGS SO I'M WORRIED
ABOUT THIS WE'RE GOING TO
CREATE. ANALYST AT MARKET WITH
THE SODA HUGE HUGE CONCERN THAT
I HAVE I'M NOT GOING TO ALLOW
ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY FROM
SOMEBODY OUTSIDE THIS IS THE
ARCHITECT OPTED FOR MEMBERS TO
DELIBERATE MISTER RIGHT. COULD
HAVE BEEN A WITNESS HE COULD
HAVE BEEN A WITNESS IN SUPPORT
OF THIS HE WAS HE WAS NOT. HE
HE DID HE DID OFFERING ME TO-
THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
S. FOR THE MEMBERS TO
DELIBERATE- LOOK THIS BILL AND
I WOULD JUST SAY THIS. THIS
BILL DOES NOT CRIMINALIZE THIS
WE HAD A BILL BEFORE US LAST
YEAR IN THIS COMMITTEE. THAT
DID PRIOR TO MY AMENDMENTS THAT
PULLED ALL THE CRIMINALIZATION
ITEMS OUT OF THAT. WE HAD A
MEMBER WHO WANTED TO
CRIMINALIZE. THIS ISSUE AND I
PULL THAT OUT. THIS BILL DOES
NOT CRIMINALIZE THIS ISSUE. IT
DOES NOT DO THAT AND I THINK
IT'S A RED HERRING AND I AND TO
IMPLY THAT IT DOES IS NOT NOT
CORRECT WE'VE HEARD FROM THE
AUTHOR IT DOESN'T BUT IT DOES
YEP MAGIC MIGHT CREATE A BLACK
MARKET WE DON'T KNOW IS THAT A
POSSIBILITY. WE DON'T KNOW.
THIS STILL SOMEONE COULD STILL
BUY THESE PRODUCTS ONLINE. IF
THEY HAVE TO DO IT AND THEY
COULD STILL BUY IT ONLINE THIS
DOES NOT RESTRICT THAT. BUT IT
DOES. PREVENT THE ATTRACTIVE
NUISANCE. OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO SPONTANEOUSLY FIND A
WAY TO GET A PRODUCT IN A
CONVENIENCE STORE. THAT'S THE
GOAL HERE AND SO I THOUGHT I'D
AND THAT IS MY DEPARTMENT
THAT'S MY BUT I. YOU KNOW AND
YOU KNOW NO AND I EVERY DRIVERS
STRUCTURE OPINION ON. THIS AND
I DO WORRY THOUGH BECAUSE IF WE
STILL CAN BUY ONLINE AS WELL AS
CASINOS I THINK IS IN THE BILL
AS WELL CORRECT. WE DO NOT HAVE
THE AUTHORITY OVER SOVEREIGN
NATIONS SO. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
PEOPLE RUNNING UP TO WHEREVER
OR BUYING ONLINE. CARTONS AT A
TIME. AND SELL THEM ON STREET
CORNERS LIKE THAT IS A CONCERN
BECAUSE NOT EVERYBODY HAS
ACCESS ESPECIALLY IN RURAL
COMMUNITIES DO ALL THE STUFF.
SO THERE IS A CONCERN TO THIS-
AND I WILL I'VE BEEN TALKING TO
LONG. TIME JUST FINE AND YOU
KNOW I THINK YOU ALSO KNOW- MR
FOR THAT THE WORK WE DO HERE IS
NEVER CARVED IN STONE. AND IF
THERE AREN'T UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES I FULLY HOPE THAT
THIS BODY. SENATE WILL BENEFIT
THE CONSEQUENCES- BUT AT THIS
POINT I WOULD HAVE TO STATE
IT'S SOMEWHAT HYPOTHETICAL
BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A OF THAT
DONE EVERYTHING. SUCH THAT
MINIMIZE MY SUB THANK A TEACHER
THANK REST FOR ME AFTER MAYES I
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THE KIND
OF AWKWARD SITTING AT THERE ARE
GOING TO TALK TO THE SENATOR.
OKAY THE NORTH WORSHIP BAND.
THE BILL FOR OF THEM. AIMS
OFTENTIMES IN COMMITTEE WHERE
WE DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A REAL
DEBATE AND REAL CONVERSATION
THAT IT'S ALL. DONE BEFOREHAND
AND WITH THAT THE PANDEMIC AND
THE WAY THAT WE HAD TO OPERATE-
I APPRECIATE VERY MUCH THE FACT
THAT YOU'RE ALLOWING THIS A
SORT OF. OF CONVERSATION- I'VE
GOT AN AWFUL LOT TO SAY BECAUSE
IT SEEMS LIKE OVER THE LAST
WEEK TWO WEEKS I'VE HAD A LOT
OF. A CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS
AND THIS IS A- AN ISSUE FOR ME
THAT I TEND TO- HAVE CONFLICT
BETWEEN HEAD AND HEART. ON IT-
BECAUSE- FROM A PHILOSOPHICAL
PERSPECTIVE YOU KNOW I WANT TO
ADVANCE LIBERTY I WANT PEOPLE
TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR
THEMSELVES- I DON'T LIKE A
TOBACCO I KNOW THAT'S AN
INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF. OF
DAMAGE. AND I KNOW THAT THERE
ARE DOCTORS THERE'S HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS AND NO. THE CHAIR-
HAS SEEN THIS FIRST HAND AS A-
AS A DENTIST WHERE HE'S SEEN
PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD CHIU OR
WHATEVER ELSE THAT HAS HAD
INCREDIBLE AMOUNTS OF IMPACT
AND ORAL CANCER- THAT'S THAT'S
COME FROM THAT WHEN YOU. WHEN
YOU YOU SEE THAT FIRST HAND.
ARE YOU BEGIN TO A HAS AN
IMPACT HAS IMPACT ON YOUR
PSYCHE TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON
WHAT YOU. ON ON WHEN YOU BECOME
ABOUT A MEMBER ELECTED OFFICIAL
MAKES YOU WANT TO GO HAVE A
HAVE SOME CHANGE. BUT THE ONE
THING I WOULD LIKE TO SAID I DO
HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU THE
SENATOR IS. THE ONE THING I
HAVEN'T ENJOYED OVER THE LAST
COUPLE WEEKS IN MY
CONVERSATIONS WITH- MY
COLLEAGUES ON THIS IS THE- ME
SOME OF THE- HOMINEM ATTACK
THAT HAVE BEEN- BEEN. LAW STAFF
AT ONE AND OTHER I'M THINKING
THAT WAY PARTICULAR CHAIR. IS
DOING IT. HE'S. TO TECH
CANNABIS OR- OTHER PARTICULAR
CHAIR BE. HE'S TO HAVE BACK OF
BIG TOBACCO OR- THIS NUMBER
DOESN'T LIE THIS BE. OF ONE OR
THIS MA'AM DOESN'T LIKE THIS
BECAUSE THERE'S ANOTHER REASON.
WHAT I FOUND IN MY
COMPENSATION- WITH ALL OF YOU.
THERE'S A SENSE. CONCERT ABOUT
THIS AND YET THE SAME TIME I
THINK YOU'RE STRUCK LIKE I AM A
BETWEEN. THE IN. ALL THIS
BECAUSE THE BILL AS IT'S- A
WE'VE SEEN. I DON'T KNOW LOVE
BUT I DO KNOW THAT WHEN I GONE.
BACK TO MY DISTRICT AND I'VE
GUY INTO TOUR OF THE HIGH
SCHOOLS WHEN I'VE SPOKEN TO
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. AND YOU
TALK TO THEIR STUDENT RUN. TO
NUMBER ONE ISSUE THAT I'VE SEEN
IN EVERY HIGH SCHOOL TO BRING
UP. THE FACT OF VAPING. AND
THERE'S A QUESTION I HAVE IS
LIKE WAIT A MINUTE ISN'T
ILLEGAL ALREADY FOR YOU KIDS TO
BE ABLE TO ACQUIRE. A VAPING
ISN'T ALREADY- DON'T YOU HAVE
TO BE TWENTY ONE TO BE ABLE TO.
TO BUY THAT AND YET KIDS ARE
GETTING IT- DONE. AND OF COURSE
WE ALSO KNOW. WE ALSO KNOW
THAT. THE FLAVORS ARE APPEALING
TO THE THESE KEY AND HAVE MADE
IT. MADE IT COOL SO I ALL OF
THAT KEY. ARE GETTING IT AND IT
IS A AT A CRISIS STAGE AND AS
AS ELECTED OFFICIALS AS
POLICYMAKERS. WE NEED TO DO
SOMETHING OF IT. AT THE SAME
TIME A CONCERN FOR ME AND I'VE
MADE- THIS OF THIS ARGUMENT IN
REGARDS TO YOU KNOW THE SEVENTY
FIVE OR EIGHT YEAR OLD FORMER
NAVY VET. THAT ARE. CAN PI AND
HIS FAVORITE. I'M HIS FAVORITE
TOBACCO OF ANY SAYS BLACK
CHERRY. I FOR ME REALLY GOING
TO TAKE AWAY THAT BLACK CHERRY
TO. FROM THE FORMER NAY VETS
SMOKING FOR THE LAST FORTY THAT
DOESN'T MEAN. TO ME. NIGHT THAT
HE WON BY EVEN IF THE THIS BILL
PASSES SINGLE BY THAT LINE A
RIGHT CAN DO THAT. YOU KNOW I'M
GOING TO THE STORE FOR THREE
YEARS AND- IN ESSENCE A WE
WOULD BE. THAT AWAY WHICH I
LEADS ME TO WHAT I'VE BEEN TALK
MORE THAN I. TO DO SO PLEASE ME
FORGIVE ME. I'D LIKE TO. SET UP.
FROM SEPT TO BROUGHT THIS TO
SOME OF ISSUES WHY IT. WE AND
YOU RAISE THE ISSUE OF HOW CAN
SOMEONE SINCE PURCHASE IF
YOU'RE A MINOR A PRODUCT THAT
YOU CAN'T BUY IT FOR TWENTY ONE
YEARS OLD. BUT THE RECENT
SURVEYS THAT WERE DONE SHOWED
THAT 74% OR 71% OF THOSE. WHO
PURCHASED JUHL PODS AND JUUL
PRODUCTS WERE UNDER THAT. 71%
WERE ABLE TO BUY IN A STORE
WHERE IT WAS. ILLEGAL TO
PURCHASE THOSE PRODUCTS. AND
WHEN HAVE STING OPERATIONS BY
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
PUBLIC HEALTH THEY FIND IT 50%
IS WHAT THE- BY RATE HAS BEEN
WITH THOSE MINERS SO WHATEVER
WE'RE DOING IS NOT WORKING. SO
THE IDEA OF TRYING TO FIND A
WAY TO STOP. BIG TOBACCO FROM
INCENTIVIZING AND ADDICTING
CHILDREN WHICH HAS THE HIGHEST
RATE IN NATURAL WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT CANNABIS AND I APPRECIATE
THE CONVERSATION. BUT THE RATE
OF CANNABIS ADDICTION IS ABOUT
NINE POINT ONE PERCENT. ALCOHOL
IS ABOUT FIFTEEN POINT 4% OF
USE. TOBACCO THIRTY ONE POINT
9% ADDICTIVE REYES SAID THAT'S
WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT AND
THAT'S WHY WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
AVERAGE IN THE BEGINNING AGE OF
A SMOKER IS THIRTEEN YEARS OF
AGE. I TOOK MY FIRST. I THINK
DRAGONESS AT WHATEVER COLLEGE
RECORD I THINK I WAS ABOUT
THIRTEEN. TASTED SO BAD I WOULD
NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN. BUT IF IT
HAD THE COOLNESS OF PEOPLE. OR
THAT MEANT WHICH IS WHAT THE
FOR WITH THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE
ATTRACTING THEM THAT'S WHAT'S
GETTING THEM ENGAGE THAT'S
WHAT'S GETTING THEM. ADDICTED
AND AT THIRTEEN TWENTY ONE YOU
NEVER SEE ANYONE I DON'T KNOW
OF ANYONE THE TWENTY FIVE
TWENTY YEARS A EVADE WAKES UP
IN THE MORNING SAYS. I THINK
I'M GONNA START SMOKING TODAY.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN. SO THEY GET
THEM WHEN THEY'RE ON. A TRACK
THEM WITH THE FLAVORS. AND THEN
THERE HOPE FOR LIFE AND THEN
THE KILL AT SOME POINT ALONG
THE WAY. THAT'S WHY IT'S
IMPORTANT IN THIS BILL THAT WE
ATTRACTED WE GET THE FLAVORS.
AND THAT WE GET THEM YOUNG. AND
THAT WE DO IT NOW WITH TOBACCO
AND I APPRECIATE THE
CONVERSATION ABOUT CANNABIS AND
THE OTHER THING I'M OVERWHELMED
FRANKLY WITH WHAT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT TODAY I MET MY
CLOSEST PAGES OF TRYING TO
ARGUE THE POINT AND BRING IT
HOME I DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT. I
MEAN THIS IS I AM SO GRATEFUL
FOR THE CONVERSATION. SO
GRATEFUL FOR THE HEARTFELT
FEELINGS. THAT I'VE HEARD
TODAY. AND THE WORK THAT NEEDS
TO BE DONE IN THE FUTURE WITH
THIS ON THE REVENUE. FOR
CANNABIS. FOR THE ISSUES OF
TRYING TO DEAL WITH ALL OF THIS
IS THAT THE NUANCES THAT ARE
DEVELOPED IM SORRY I WON'T BE
HERE TO HELP YOU WITH IT. SO
SANTA CAN I TALK ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE WE DO HAVE SOME
LANGUAGE- ABOUT SOME BUS.OTHER
EXEMPTIONS- THAT HAVE BEEN.
BROUGHT BEFORE US- I JUST
BEFORE THE MEETING I TRIED. TO
CALL THIS A LITTLE BIT ACCEDED
TO THE- A THIRD OF SEPTEMBER.
BROUGHT UP I REALIZE THAT I.
BIGGEST ON A TO BACK AND
TOBACCO RELATED ITEMS WHEN SHE
REFERRED TO YOU- THE BLUNT THAT
WAS ME. I DIDN'T I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT- SO I I'M NOT A STREET
SMART AS I THOUGHT THAT THAT
THAT I WAS- I GUESS I DON'T
REALLY THINK I WAS THAT SMART
ABOUT. STUFF ABOUT BEING STREET
SMART. BUT SO WE THE ONE WE'VE
GOT THE HOOKAH EXAM SHIFT AND I
SHARED WITH YOU ON THE PHONE
TODAY- MY EXPERIENCE AND HAVE
LEARNED ABOUT THE HOOKAH AND
THE CULTURE OF SURROUNDING
HOOKAH- OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
YEARS WE DON'T NEED TO GO INTO
THAT. BUT NOW WE'VE GOT A
COUPLE OF OTHER EXEMPTIONS.
BEFORE I. WENT TO REGARD THE
PREMIUM CIGARS WHICH WE THINK
REALLY ONLY. ARE USING PREMIUM
CIGARS. WE'VE ALSO GOT AN
EXEMPTION FOR A PIPE THE- LOOSE
LEAF PIPE TO BE AT IT'S IS IT'S
CRAFTED. SO THE QUESTION THAT I
HAVE IS WE'VE EXEMPTED HOOKAH.
WE'VE EXEMPTED PIPE THAT
TOBACCO. AND WE'VE ALSO- BOTH
AND PREMIUM CIGARS FROM THIS
BAND. IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
THAT NEEDS TO BE EXEMPTED THAT.
WE KNOW ABOUT THAT MAKE. MORE
RIGHT. THE GOALIE. IS THE WITH
KIDS RIGHT WE WANT TO STOP KIDS
FROM GETTING HOOKED ON THIS.
BUT THERE ARE PRODUCTS TOBACCO
PRODUCTS THAT ADULTS USE ARE
THERE UP PRODUCT WE SHOULD ALL
PUT IN. TO MAKE THIS BILL A
BETTER BILL I'M NOT AWARE. IN
THE ISSUE AT THE EXIT. AND WHAT
WHAT CONVERT THAT. I'VE HAD
WITH SOME OF THE MEN. THIS
COMMITTEE AND WHERE THE- SHINJI
AVAILABLE WE DO HEARD ABOUT
TODAY YOU HAVE TO WAIT RISKS
WHAT IS THE OF YOUTH GETTING
THAT PRODUCT AND BECOMING
ADDICTED TO IT AND THEN HOOK A
VERY LIMITED IN LOW RISK. S.
PREMIUM CIGARS OVER TWELVE
DOLLARS VERY LOW RISK. AND WHEN
YOU LOOK AT THE IDEA PACKAGE
FOR- TOBACCO GROUND TOBACCO OR
RELIEF TOBACCO. IT FOR PIPES
ANOTHER VERY LOW RISK AND IT
WILL BE CRAFTED I BELIEVE IN A
WAY THAT WILL NOT INSTANCE.
INCENTIVIZE THE USE IN OTHER
TYPES OR FORMS OF- OF PRODUCTS
SO I LOOK AT THE RISK FACTOR IN
THAT'S REALLY WHAT'S IMPORTANT
TO ME AND WAS CERTAINLY THE
AMENDMENTS WERE MY CHOICE. OF I
HEARD ABOUT THAT ABOUT THEM
TODAY I'M WILLING TO ACCEPT
THOSE BECAUSE I THINK AS WE
KNOW POLITICS IN THIS BUILDING
THIS CALL. IN HIS TO ACCEPT.
THE LOOSE LEAF ON THE DEAF AND
TALKING HYPED AS LOOSE LEAF A
INCLUDE A LOOSE LEAF CHU POINT
THAT U. S. W. W. WOULD YOU
WRITE DOWN ON THE TOBACCO OVER
ON THAT YOU WOULD SUCK ON THE
BALCONY OF THE JUICES
UNDERMINES IN IT DOES NOT. I
WOULD HAVE. TALK TO THE CHAIR
ABOUT THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
AND ARE THERE ANY OTHER
EXEMPTIONS AT ALL FOR ANY
CESSATION BISA THE TYPES OF
PRODUCTS. THAT ARE GETTING
PEOPLE OFF OF ACCO OTHER ANY
OTHER FLAVOR THAT MIGHT AND
DIVIDE THEY KEEP THEIR SOME
**** I THINK IT WILL BE. SOLD
NOT THAT I'M AWARE OF IN THE
FACT THIS IS A DEVICE IF YOU
WANT TO BE. AS A IN. IN CALL
YOUR THIS IS IT DEVICE THAT
DRUG HAS APPROACH THAT YOU GO
THROUGH TO BE FOR THAT AND NONE
OF THE PRODUCTS THAT WE'VE SEEN
TALKED ABOUT OR USED BY YOUTH
TODAY OR CLAIM TO BE CESSATION
DEVICES ARE ACTUALLY.
LEGITIMATE LICENSED CESSATION
DEVICES OKAY. THANK YOU SENATOR
THAT TEACHER THANK YOU. OH I'M
SORRY I'M SORRY MISTER NAZARIAN
APOLOGIZED. ON I'M SORRY I JUST
WANT TO STAND UP AND STRETCH MY
LEGS A LITTLE BIT BEFORE I NO
GO AHEAD MISS AGUIAR-CURRY AND
THEN MISTER NAZARIAN TURN TO
MAKE IT A QUICK IT'S BEEN A
LONG DAY SENATOR I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWAR- YOU KNOW IN A
PERFECT WORLD WE WOULD HAVE HAD
THIS VETTED WITHOUT MULTIPLE
MEETINGS. AND HERE WE ARE AND
WE ALL ARE REALLY CONCERNED
ABOUT THIS ISSUE PARTICULARLY
FOR KIDS IN VAPING. AND WE ARE
IN THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. AND SO
I JUST THAT THEN I'VE TOLD SO
MANY FOR PEOPLE TO COME INTO MY
OFFICE A CALL MAY BE EITHER
SIDE IS THAT GOSH IF IT WAS MY
WAY. REGIS TO VAPING AND
FLAVORED THE- OF VAPING IN
JEWEL AND JUST KEEP IT SUPER
SIMPLE SO WE CAN ADDRESS THESE
KIDS. BECAUSE NOW WE'VE MUDDIED
THE WATER AND THERE'S A LOT OF.
CONVERSATION IS STILL NEEDS TO
BE TAKEN PLACE I THINK I MEAN I
THINK THAT- MISTER FLORA AND
OTHERS OF. THIS HEART GOES OUT
AND I THINK THERE'S PART THAT I
DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IN THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BURKE BROUGHT
THIS FORWARD. AND EVERYONE'S
OPINIONS IMPORTANT. AND THIS IS
TEARING ME APART BECAUSE I SEE
THE IMPORTANCE AND MY CONCERNS
I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN I HAVE
CHILDREN I'VE GOT MY NIECES AND
NEPHEWS TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING
ON THE FAVORITE. AT A BREAK MY
HEART AND- THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO THE SCHOOL DOESN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO AND SO- YOU KNOW I'M
REALLY CONFLICTED. A REALLY
CONFLICTED AND I WAS VERY CLEAR
WITH YOU ON THIS BEFORE- I'M
GONNA BE HONEST I'M GONNA
SUPPORT YOU TODAY BUT I NEED
YOU TO KEEP KEEP WORKING ON
THEM. AND I'M AND I SIT RIGHT.
AND I MAY NOT. A SUPPORT YOU
WHEN IT COMES TO THE FLOOR BUT
IT'S NEEDS MORE WORK- IT'S- THE
WATER THAT MUDDIED ON THIS. I
FAMILIES WERE IS JUST CAN BE
ONE. OF OKAY AND NOW IT'S KIND
OF ONE OF THOSE CAN FIGURE SO I
JUST WANNA THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THIS AWFUL. BERMAN YOU HAVE A
WORK TO THIS FOR A LONG. ALSO
SOME MEMBER WORKED ON THIS A
LONG TIME AND THERE'S SO MANY
PEOPLE THAT WANT TO MAKE IT
RIGHT. AND IT'S SO HARD TO DO
SO I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU.
AND ALL THE COMMENTS TODAY I'M-
I REALIZE THAT MY COLLEAGUES
AND REALLY CARE ABOUT OUR
YOUTH. AND THEY WANTED TO MAKE
IT RIGHT AND- I'M HOPING WE CAN
DO THAT AND I'M HOPING WE HAVE
A REALLY GOOD PRODUCT TO SEND
TO THE GOVERNOR. WHEN THIS IS
ALL SAID AND DONE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. AND
THANKS TO THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS. IMPORTANT BILL
FORD. FOLKS I'LL BE VERY CANDID
WITH YOU I'M NOT SO CONFLICTED
ABOUT THIS AT ALL. I THINK
THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF WORK TO
DO. I THINK SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED ARE
EXTREMELY VALID. BUT MAYBE MY
PERSPECTIVE IS VERY DIFFERENT.
I GREW WHEN MY FAMILY WAS
SEPARATED DURING THE WAR IN
IRAN AND WE HAD TO MY MOTHER
AND I WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO
COME HERE. AT THE AGE OF EIGHT
I SAW MY MOTHER STRUGGLING WITH
THE LEVEL OF STRESS. HAVING TWO
CHILDREN HERE ONE CHILD IN A
THIRD COUNTRY AND HER HUSBAND
IN YET A THIRD COUNTRY. WE WERE
SEPARATE INTO THREE CONTINENTS
AND THAT STRESS OF NOT KNOWING
WHERE THINGS WERE GONNA GO
WHILE SHE WAS WORKING THREE
JOBS. SHE STARTED SMOKING. SHE
WOULD FINISH A PACK A DAY. THAT
I WOULD FIND THE PACKS AND
THROWN AWAY. AT EIGHT. I'M GLAD
I DIDN'T GET HOOKED ON IT.
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN WHAT IT DOES
TO FEEL WE ALL HAVE FRIENDS WHO
HAVE WITNESSED WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO THEM. SO I CAN'T SHARE THAT
I'M I DON'T SAY IT LIGHTLY BUT
I CAN'T SHARE THAT I'M
CONFLICTED ABOUT THIS. ANYTHING
I WAS HAVING TOUGH TIME.
BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE GAMES
MANSHIP THAT'S BEEN GOING ON
BETWEEN OUR TWO HOUSES. THAT'S
BEEN EMBARRASSING THIS PANDEMIC.
WHEN WE SHOULD BE ADVANCING
STRAW BILL THAT HOW THE
LEGISLATURE IS WORKING ON
BEHALF OF ITS CONSTITUENTS. IT
WHICH EACH OTHER'S BILLS. AND
IT'S NOT EVEN PARTISAN BY THE
WAY. IT WOULD BE ONE THING IF
IT WAS REPUBLICAN ON DEMOCRATS
IT'S DEMOCRATS DOING IT TO EACH
OTHER. MORE TO COME ON THAT
LATER BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE
HEARING FROM SOME AUTHORS. ON
THIS BILL THOUGH. I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT YOU'VE
BROUGHT THIS FORWARD I THINK
THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO DO
BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SOME VALID
POINTS BROUGHT UP ABOUT HOW
THIS IMPACTS CB. AND SOME OTHER
SOME OTHER AREAS THAT WE NEED
TO CONTINUE WORKING ON. BUT I'M
GOING TO BE PROUD TO JOIN YOU
IN SUPPORTING THIS BILL TODAY I
DO HAVE HOPE YOU GET THE TO
PASS IT. I DO HOPE THAT ALSO
YOU WORK WITH OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM- THE ASSEMBLY WHO ALSO HAD
A SIMILAR BILL. AND TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION SOME OF HIS
CONCERNS- AND I DO ASK THAT
YOU. IF YOU WOULD HONOR ME
WITH- ADDING YOU ADDING ME AS A
CO AUTHOR YOUR BILL IS WELL.
BUT HAVE A- COST ISSUE THAT
I'VE HEARD FROM SEVERAL OF MY
COLLEAGUES AS WELL. I
APPRECIATE YOU RAISING. THE
AWARENESS ON THE NUMBERS WE DO
SEE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
THOSE ARE NUMBERS WE CAN
ACCOUNT FOR RIGHT. BUT WHAT
ABOUT THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE
COSTS. THAT WE DON'T EVEN KNOW
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW. WE DON'T
EVEN KNOW. WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE
SEEING AND WHAT WE'RE GONNA BE
ACCOUNTING FOR THERE'S NO
NUMBERS IT'S IMMEASURABLE HOW
EXPENSIVE IT'S GOING TO BE.
WHEN FUTURE GENERATIONS OF
KIDS. OF MOST OF THOSE KIDS
ALREADY DEPENDENT ON STATE ON
MEDIC CAL RELATED- OF STATE.
FUNDED COSTS AND FEDERAL FUNDED
BECAUSE PROGRAMS. HOW MUCH OF A
COST THEY'RE GONNA BE
CONTRIBUTING BY NOT BYE BYE
ENDING UP IN HOSPITALS. SO IT'S
LET'S ALSO LOOK AT THE FUTURE
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS RIGHT
NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A FEW
REMARKS I JUST WANT TO FIRST
START BY SAYING SENATOR. SHARE
YOUR PERSISTENCE- YOUR
PRESENTATION- I KNOW THIS IS
BENEFITS AN ISSUE OF IMPORTANCE
TO YOU FOR MANY YEARS AND I
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT ALSO
FOR THE OTHER- CO AUTHORS IN
THE ROOM I APPRECIATE YOUR
CAMPING THIS ISSUE- THROUGH ITS
IT'S DIFFERENT HURDLES ALONG
THE WAY I JUST WANT TO THANK
THE- BODY FOR ITS IT'S
CONVERSATION THAT THE IDEAS
BEING PUT ON THE TABLE
QUESTIONS THE CONCERNS OF
THOUGHT THAT WHAT A BODY LIKE
THIS. IT TO DELIVER ABOUT REYES
ISSUES AND RAISE QUESTIONS LIKE
THE LAST SPEAKER- SEE THIS AS A
PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD ISSUE
I'M NOT CONFLICTED ABOUT IT I
THINK IT IT COMES WITH THE
SIMPLE ISSUE OF THE FACT THAT
WE'RE FACING A PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS FOR OUR CHILDREN WE HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT I TO MAKE IT BETTER
TO. I IMPROVE HEALTH AND THIS
IS WHAT SHOULD BE DOING I THREE
KIDS I TALKED TO ONE OF MY
DAUGHTERS ABOUT- THE FLAVORED
TOBACCO ISSUE AND I SAID TO
HER. WHY DO. YOUNG PEOPLE TO
SMOKE WHAT WHAT WHAT'S THE
ATTRACTION. AND SHE SAID PEOPLE
LIKE MENGONI LIKE MEANT. AND I
SAID WHAT ABOUT NON FLAVORED
TOBACCO SHE SAID THAT SHE
THINKS THERE THAT'S GROSS AND
YOUNG KIDS ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO
THAT SO SOME IS. SO THAT YOUNG
KIDS ARE GETTING ACCESS. EVEN
THOUGH THEY'RE UNDER AGE AND
THE TRACTION IS CERTAINLY YOU
KNOW THE DATA THERE IS IT OUT
IT'S THE FLAVORED AT TOBACCO SO
WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SOMETHING- I STRONGLY RECOMMEND
THAT THIS BODY DO AS IT IS A
HEALTH COMMITTEE STEPPING UP
AND PUBLIC HEALTH. OF OUR
COMMUNITY. WALDRON I DO WANT TO%
A POINT ABOUT THE BUDGET ISSUE
N. AND THAT THE DEPLETING FIND
A COMING FROM OUR ARE TOBACCO
TAXES ARE THAT WOULD RESULT
THAT'S BEING PROTECTED I DO
THINK THAT WE CAN'T ALWAYS HAVE
PARA ONE HATTON ONE SET OF.
UPLOADERS AND NOT LOOK AT THE-
THE BUDGET ISSUES ESPECIALLY IN
A TIME OF SO SENSITIVE ABOUT
THE BUDGET BUT I BUT I WILL SAY
THIS THAT THAT SHOULDN'T BE A
SURPRISE WHEN IT COMES TO SIN
TAXES WHEN IT COMES TO LIKE TO
PACO. THEY PUT AN END TO TERROR
DEBATE HERE ALSO THAT OVER TIME
THEY WILL TO AND WHEN THEY ARE
DEPLOYED THAT A GOOD SIGN IN
THIS THAT IT MEANS PUBLIC
HEALTH IMPROVED. LAST OR SMALL
IN COMING DOT AND THAT'S GOOD
FOR OUR HEALTH ALSO HAVE TO
LOOK AS THE SECOND CENTER SAID
AT THEM MULTIPLE SAVINGS ON THE
OTHER SIDE OFF AND OUR HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM THAT WE WILL BE
REALIZING SO APPRECIATE THE
PRESENTATION I APPRECIATE YOU
CAMPING THIS OP PROP TO THINK I.
ON A PHONE RIGHT FOR THE BUT
I'M A CO AUTHOR OF THE VOTING
CAN APPRECIATE YOU CENTER HAVE.
THANK YOU I KNOW. THE HOUR IS
GETTING LATE WE HAVE A LOT WORK
AHEAD OF US AND I'LL DO MY BEST
TO BE BRIEF BUT I DO HAVE SOME
POINTS I WANT TO MAKE. YOU KNOW
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
SAYS THE TOBACCO KILLS MORE
THAN EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE A
YEAR. EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE.
IT'S THE MOST DEADLY. CONSUMER
PRODUCT EVER MADE. PERIOD THE
CDC SAYS THE TOBACCO COMPANIES
TO FIND ON THE WEBSITE ADD
MENTHOL TO MAKE CIGARETTES SEEM
LESS HARSH AND MORE APPEALING
TO NEW SPOKES MOTORS IN YOUNG
PEOPLE. THAT'S THE CRUX OF THE
ISSUE HERE IS TRYING TO NOT
HAVE THE NEXT GENERATION HOOKED
ON A DEADLY PRODUCT. SO I LOOK
AT THIS IN MY MIND AS AS A
PREVENTIVE MEASURE AND WHEN YOU
DO PREVENTION IT'S AN
INVESTMENT. TO REAP THE FUTURE
REWARD AND THEIR FUTURE AWARD
IS A REDUCTION IN THE THREE
POINT TWO BILLION DOLLARS A
YEAR WE SPEND. ON MEDIC CAL ON
SMOKING RELATED ILLNESSES.
THINK ABOUT THAT SO YES WE WILL
HAVE A SHORTFALL HERE. BUT IS
IT BETTER TO ALLOW AN INDUSTRY
THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR KILLING
EIGHT MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR.
SOME SLACK SO THAT WE HAVE A
COUPLE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
A YEAR MORE IN IN REVENUE OKAY.
IS THAT THE TRADE OFF HERE.
BECAUSE I THINK WE CAN FIND A
COUPLE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
QUITE FRANKLY IF THAT'S WHAT IT
TRULY WORKS OUT TO BE. SO THIS
ISSUE IS VERY PERSONAL TO ME.
MY ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL CAREER.
HAS BEEN ABOUT TRYING TO HELP
PEOPLE STOP SMOKING. I WATCHED
MY GRANDMOTHER IN A NURSING
HOME. WITH CRIPPLING RHEUMATOID
ARTHRITIS. SMOKING METHYLATED
CIGARETTES WHEN SHE COULD
BARELY LIKE THAT BECAUSE SHE
WAS SO CRIPPLED UP. HE DIED. OF
CANCER I WATCHED MY GRANDFATHER
ROLLING HIS OWN CIGARETTES AND
BEING FASCINATED BY IT. TO
WATCH HIM DIE OF A HEART ATTACK.
IT'S DEEPLY PERSONAL TO ME. I
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY YOUNG
PEOPLE I SAW ON MY PRACTICE
COME IN WIDTHS GOAL OR
COPENHAGEN. TUCKED BETWEEN
THEIR CHEEK AND THEY'RE LEFT.
YOUNG KIDS BASEBALL PLAYERS
HOOKED IN WHEN THEY WANTED TO
QUIT THE COULD. I THINK OF THE
TWENTY SIX YEAR OLD BASEBALL
COACH IN CINEMA COUNTY. WHO
DIED OF ORAL CANCER FROM THAT
KIND OF PRODUCT. THE LEFT
BEHIND A YOUNG CHILD. THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO PREVENT
HERE SO FOR ME THE CHOICE IS
VERY CLEAR. IT ISN'T JUST ABOUT
VAPING WHY BECAUSE YOU KNOW WE
CAN DEBATE STATISTICS ALL DAY
LONG AND YOU KNOW I THINK-
MISTER FLORES SAID THAT HOOKAH
IS LIKE THE NUMBER TO CONSUME
PRODUCTS OUT THERE BUT YOU JUST
WANT TO BAN VAPING. THAT'S A
BIG WIN FOR TOBACCO COMPANIES.
BECAUSE I THINK A LOT. OF THEM
ARE BEGINNING TO WRITE THIS OFF
ANYWAY. BECAUSE OF JULIAN SOME
OF THE OTHER ISSUES OUT THERE
BUT WHAT THEY REALLY WANT TO
PROTECT IS THIS. THEY WANT TO
PROTECT PRODUCTS LIKE THIS. TWO
PACK SWISHER SWEETS CHOCOLATE
FLAVORED DOLLAR FORTY NINE. TWO
PAC EACH A DOLLAR FORTY NINE.
TWO PAC MAN ANNA SMASH A DOLLAR
FORTY NINE. TWO PACK TROPICAL
FLUSH A DOLLAR FORTY NINE I CAN
GO ON BECAUSE YOU'RE TWENTY
FIVE OR THIRTY OTHERS INCLUDING
BOOZY WATERMELON BOOTIES HOUSE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
PREVENT HERE BECAUSE IF WE JUST
BAN VAPING. THE KIDS ARE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO USE THIS PRODUCT
IT'S A HUGE WIN FOR THE TOBACCO
INDUSTRY HUGE. SO I HATED
HAVING TO ASK YOU TO TAKE
AMENDMENT SENATOR. BUT YOU KNOW
THE PROCESS AS WELL AS I DO THE
GOAL IS TO MOVE SOMETHING GOOD.
AND SOMETIMES THE PERFECT
DOESN'T HAPPEN IT RARELY
HAPPENS IN THIS HOUSE IF I HAD
MY WAY WE'D BE ON SQUARE ONE
WHERE YOUR BILL WAS STARTED.
THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY
AMENDMENTS. WE'RE TRYING TO
SAVE LIVES HERE FOLKS THAT'S
THE BOTTOM LINE. AND THAT'S WHY
I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS
IT'S BEEN MY ENTIRE
PROFESSIONAL LIFE. WHEN I WAS
THE MAYOR OF MY OWN CITY BEFORE
I CAME TO THE LEGISLATURE WE
RAISE THE AGE THAT YOU COULD
BUY TOBACCO PRODUCTS TO TWENTY
ONE. THE FIRST CITY IN THE
STATE TO DO THAT. AND WE A
REWARD FOR THAT WAS THREATENED
LAWSUITS BECAUSE- IT VIOLATED
THE STEAK ACT WE COULDN'T DO IT.
WE COULDN'T DO IT. SO WHEN I
CAME HERE I WAS FORTUNATE UP TO
SENT TO PARTNER WITH CENTER PAN
DURING THE SPECIAL SESSION IN
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN WE GOT
THAT PASSED AND THAT'S SPREAD
ACROSS THE COUNTRY TWENTY PLUS
OTHER STATES OF DOING THAT NOW.
WE WERE THE FIRST I WANT TO
CALIFORNIA TO BE THE FIRST. WE
OWE IT TO OUR CHILDREN. TO GIVE
THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOT BE
HOOKED ON THESE PRODUCTS.
PEOPLE START SMOKING MOSTLY 90%
M. START BEFORE THE AGE OF
TWENTY ONE. THAT'S WHY THESE
PRODUCTS EXIST TOBACCO
COMPANIES WANT KIDS TO USE
THESE PRODUCTS BEFORE THEY'RE
TWENTY ONE AND SO TO GET THEM
OUT OF STORES. SO THEY'RE NOT
CONVENIENT. IS THE GOAL HERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.
SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
ATTENTION TODAY I KNOW IT'S
BEEN LONG I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT
OF WORK AHEAD OF US. SENATOR
HELP I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK
YOU FOR THAT VERY PASSIONATE
STATEMENT- IT'S INTERESTING HOW
IT IS PERSONAL I GUESS FOR ALL
OF US SOME FORMER ANOTHER. MY I
HAVE NO ONE CLOSE THAT HEAVILY
SMOKED. AS MUCH OR BROUGHT DOWN
THEIR LIFE BUT- IT'S
INTERESTING WAS TWENTY SIX
YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS THE MAYOR
OF THE CITY OF SAN MATTEO. AND
THIS SEEMS LIKE SO FOREIGN
OVERTIME TODAY BUT WE HAD THE
FIRST IN THE STATE IT WAS A
FIRST FOR THE SECOND. THAT
BANNED SMOKING. IN RESTAURANTS.
OR IN THE WORKPLACE. OR IN BARS.
IN THE REACTION TO THAT THE
UPSET THE ANGER THE FIGHT THEY
THEY ACTUALLY WENT AFTER MY
BUSINESS THAT I HAD AT THE TIME
SHE'LL HAVE- AND- THEY WANT IF
YOU'RE TAKING A BUSINESS AWAY
FROM US. WE'RE GOING TO GO
AFTER YOU. THAT'S HOW THEY
FIGHT. AND IT'S NOT FAIR BUT I.
WANT TO THANK YOU THIS WAS SUCH
AN ENLIGHTENING. HEARTWARMING
AND- TOUCHING CONVERSATION.
BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS.
ALL ABOUT THE KIDS AND THAT'S
WHAT I HEARD TODAY REGARDLESS
OF THE SIZE SIDE OF THE AISLE
REGARDLESS OF THE VOTE. IT'S
ALL ABOUT THE KIDS AND YOU
BROUGHT THAT HOME. AND WE HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT AS WE GO
FORWARD WE LOOK AT THOSE ISSUES
THAT WERE RAISED WHETHER IT'S
FINANCIAL. OR RACIAL. AND
REALLY DECIDE HOW WE WANT. TO
MAKE SURE THAT OUR KIDS UP.
SUCCEED AND LIVE LONG AND
HEALTHY LIFE. I FREE THIS COMP
I'VE REALLY APPRECIATE ACTION

BY SENATOR MONNING SENATOR
MONEY. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS. I KNOW IT'S BEEN A
LONG DAY I APPRECIATE THE
ENGAGE THAT I'VE WITH MANY OF
YOU AND WANT TO START BY
THANKING THE CHAIR- EXCEPT THE
CHAIRS SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS. I
ALSO WANT TO THANK LARA
PLANNING CHRISTINE MOBLEY FOR
ALL YOU'VE YOUR HARD WORK THE
STAFF WHO HAVE WORKED ON THIS
BILL. THIS BILL IS DESIGNED TO
PROTECT PATIENTS CONSUMERS AND
COMMUNITIES. OUR CONSTITUENTS.
FOR TOO LONG STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
THAT HOSPITAL CONSOLIDATION
RESULTS IN INCREASED PREMIUMS
FOR CALIFORNIANS AND THE
LEGISLATURE HAS NOT ADDRESSED
THIS ISSUE. THE EVIDENCE IS
CLEAR AS REPORTED BY THE LA
TIMES AND IS PRESENTED IN
ACADEMIC JOURNALS. EXISTING LAW
PROVIDES LITTLE OVERSIGHT OF
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
CONSOLIDATION AND MARKET
PRACTICES LEFT UNCHECKED HEALTH
CARE SYSTEMS WILL CONTINUE TO
GROW AND UTILIZE ABUSIVE MARKET
PRACTICES THAT DRIVE UP PRICES
AND REDUCE ACCESS FOR CONSUMER.
IN NINE SEVEN WOULD REQUIRE
LARGE HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS AS
WELL AS PRIVATE EQUITY GROUPS
AND HEDGE FUNDS TO OBTAIN
APPROVAL FROM THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL BEFORE AN ACQUISITION
OR CHANGE OF CONTROL WITH ANY
OTHER HEALTH CARE FACILITY OR
PROVIDER. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
WOULD EVALUATE THE PROPOSED
TRANSACTION BASED ON TWO
FACTORS FIRST WHETHER THE
TRANSACTION WOULD INCREASE OR
MAINTAIN CARE COORDINATION AND
OR INCREASE OR MAINTAIN
AFFORDABILITY OF CARE TO AN
UNDERSERVED POPULATION. AND
SECOND WHETHER THE TRANSACTION
SUBSTANTIALLY LIKELY TO RESULT
IN ANTI COMPETITIVE EFFECTS
THAT OUTWEIGH ANY BENEFITS. IF
THE ACQUISITION OR CHANGE OF
CONTROL DOES NOT MEET THESE
REQUIREMENTS THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL MAY DENY THE
TRANSACTION OR PROPOSED TERMS
OF CONDITIONS TO IMPROVE THE
BENEFITS TO THE COMMUNITY. SB
NINE SEVEN SEVEN DOES NOT
OUTRIGHT DENY ANY TRANSACTION
IT IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT
PATIENTS AND CONSUMERS OUR
CONSTITUENTS THIS BILL ENSURES
THAT OF THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
GROWS IT MUST INCREASE OR
MAINTAIN IT SERVICES NOT JUST
ITS PROFITS. ADDITIONALLY SB
NINE SEVEN SEVEN ESTABLISHES
THE HEALTH POLICY ADVISORY
BOARD THE BOARD WOULD BE MADE
UP OF A BROAD CROSS SECTION OF
STAKEHOLDERS AND WOULD ADVISE
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL I'M
PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION
TRANSACTIONS. FINALLY SB NINE
SEVEN SEVEN WOULD DECLARE THAT
HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS THAT
EXERCISE SUBSTANTIAL MARKET
POWER MAY NOT ENGAGE IN
BEHAVIOR THAT HAS A SIGNIFICANT
LIKELIHOOD OF ANTI COMPETITIVE
IMPACTS. ANTI COMPETITIVE
BEHAVIORS ARE DEFINED TO IN
MARKET. DUE TO THE ELIMINATION
OF COMPETITION DIMINISHING
QUALITY REDUCING CHOICE
INCREASING THE TOTAL COST OF
CARE OR DIMINISHING ACCESS TO
OR AVAILABILITY OF HOSPITAL OR
NON HOSPITAL HEALTH CARE
SERVICES. THE CHAIRS AMENDMENTS
THAT I'VE AGREED TO DO THE
FOLLOWING. THEY ADD A FIVE YEAR
SUNSET TO THE PROVISION OF THIS
BILL RELATING TO THE AG'S
AUTHORITY TO REVIEW
TRANSACTIONS. THEY RAISE THE
THRESHOLD FOR EXPEDITED REVIEW
TO A TRANSACTIONAL VALUE OF ONE
MILLION DOLLARS. OR HIGHER.
THEY ADD COUNTY FACILITIES TO
THE LIST OF EXPEDITED REVIEW
ENTITIES YOU SO MUCH OKAY. THEY
CHANGED THE AG A THORNY TONIGHT
CONSENT FROM SHALL TO MAY. IN
THE EXPAND THE CRITERIA FOR
APPROVING A CHANGE OF CONTROL
TO INCLUDE MAINTAINING SERVICES.
AS THE WORLD RESPONSE TO THE
COVERT NINETEEN CRISIS MEMBERS
ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH
CARE IS MORE CRITICAL THAN EVER
AT THE SAME TIME COBIT NINETEEN
HAS CREATED AN ENORMOUS
FINANCIAL STRAIN ON BOTH
HOSPITALS AND PHYSICIANS MAKING
THESE PROVIDERS SUSCEPTIBLE TO
CONSOLIDATION ATTEMPTS BY LARGE
HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS PRIVATE
EQUITY FIRMS AND HEDGE FUNDS.
HAS COVERED NINETEEN IS FORCING
CONSOLIDATION WITHIN THE HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM SB NINE SEVEN SEVEN
INSURERS RESPONSIBLE OVERSIGHT
OF THE GROWTH OF LARGE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS AND THEIR
IMPACT ON THE HEALTH CARE
MARKET. WITH THE LEADER OF THE
CHAIR I DON'T LIKE TO PRESENT
MY WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL JENNY PHILLIPS SPECIAL
ASSISTANT TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL AND EMILIO BERNINI
DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ANTI
TRUST SECTION WILL BE AVAILABLE
FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE. I

MISTER CHAIR CAN HEAR ME I'M
SORRY. THE CHECK OUT YES PLEASE
HI JENNY PLEASE GO AHEAD WE CAN
THAT WE CAN ABSOLUTELY. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH READING
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. SB
NINE SEVEN SEVEN BUILT ON THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL COMMITMENT TO
PROTECTING PATIENTS BY
EXPANDING THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE'S AUTHORITY OVER
HEALTHCARE TRANSACTIONS AND
ENFORCEMENT OF ANTITRUST LAW.
EXISTING CALIFORNIA LAW ALREADY
REQUIRES THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
TO REVIEW AND CONSENT FOR ANY
SALE OR TRANSFER OF THE
HEALTHCARE FACILITY OWNED OR
OPERATED BY A NONPROFIT
CORPORATION. SB NINE SEVEN
SEVEN BUILT ON THE SIGNAL LAW
BY REQUIRING HEALTH CARE.
PRIVATE EQUITY AND HEDGE FUNDS
ALL THIRTEEN ATTORNEY GENERAL
APPROVAL BEFORE MOVING FORWARD
WITH THE CHANGE OF CONTROL WHAT
HAPPENED ANOTHER PROVIDER
INCLUDING BOTH. FOR PROFIT AND
NONPROFIT PROVIDERS. THIS
REVIEW IF INTENDED TO AND-
THESE COUPLE TWENTY CONSIDERING
IMPACT OF. REQUIRING A- THAT
THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WILL
BENEFIT PATIENTS IN THE FORM OF
INCREASE CLINICAL INTEGRATION.
ACCESS AND AVAILABILITY TO
SERVICE IT IT'S PRETTY WOULD
ALSO ENSURE THAT THE ANTI
COMPETITIVE THE FACT OF THE
PROPOSED TRANSACTION IS NOT
OUTWEIGH THE BENEFITS TO
CONFIRM. UNDER S. NINE SEVEN
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE
COULD NOT REVIEW EVERY PROPOSED
PROVIDER TRANSACTION INSTEAD
THE REVIEW IF LIMITED TO ONLY
BILL TRANSACTIONS THAT INVOLVE
A HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. PRIVATE
EQUITY GROUP OR HAD FIVE. WHEN
THEY ARE ACQUIRING OR MAKING A
CHANGE OF CONTROL FOR PROVIDER
SERVICES OR FACILITIES. FOR
EXAMPLE AT THE NINE SEVEN SEVEN
DOES NOT COVER EMPLOYMENT
ARRANGEMENTS OR LEASE AGREEMENT
UNLESS AT. LEAST IS ACTUALLY
THE EQUIVALENT OF A SALE. BUT
ABU PROFIT NINE THAT SEVEN IT'S
UNLIMITED SPECIFIC TIME FOR AND
CONSISTS OF A FIFTY DAY AND
MITCHELL WILL BE A PERIOD. THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL REQUIRES MORE
INFORMATION OR DETERMINES THE
PUBLIC MEETINGS APPROPRIATE THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL MAY EXTEND THE
REVIEW PROCESS. ONLY AT
SPECIFIED IN THE BILL THE BILL
ALSO INCLUDES AN EXPEDITED
REVIEW PROCESS. FOR SPECIFIED
PROVIDERS. SB NINE SEVEN ON THE-
BUILT ON THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
EXISTING AUTHORITY TO ENFORCE
ANTITRUST LAW BY SPECIFICALLY
TARGETING ANTI COMPETITIVE
BEHAVIOR BY LARGE HEALTHCARE
SYSTEM THAT USED THEIR MARKET
POWER TO DRIVE UP PRICES. UNDER
THE BELT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
WOULD BE PROHIBITED FROM USING
THEIR MARKET POWER TO INCREASE
PRICES WOULD NO LONGER BE
PERMITTED TO USE HARMFUL
PRACTICES SUCH AS TING AN
EXCLUSIVE DEALING CONTRACT.
ANOTHER KEY ASPECT OF SB NINE
SEVEN SEVEN IF THAT WOULD
PROVIDE THEATTORNEY GENERAL
WOULD ADVANCE NOTICE ABOUT A
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM REQUIRES A
NEW PROVIDER. EXISTING
ANTITRUST. BLOOD DOES NOT ONLY
PROVIDE THE H. GENERAL WITH THE
NOTE THAT. HAVING THE ABILITY
FOR THE TELL CARE SAID
TRANSACTION OF THEY ARE
FINALIZED WILL HELP ABOUT PRICE
INCREASE. AND PROTECT. PATIENTS

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION SO.
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY- PLEASE
WITH THEM IN. MADAM MODERATOR.
EVENING MISTER CHAIR TALUKS CAN
WE LIVE. PLEASE GO AHEAD. GOOD
EVENING OUR TOP PART OF THE
CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
OCCIPITAL AND A BROAD COALITION
OF OTHER HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
OPPOSE THIS BILL FOR ONE
FUNDAMENTAL REASON. IT WILL
CREATE A BERRIER HEALTHCARE
SOLUTIONS THAT ARE CRITICAL FOR
ACCESS TO CARE ACCESS TO SCARCE
MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND ACCESSIBLE
STAFF. THE OFFICE OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TODAY ALREADY
HAS SIGNIFICANT OVERSIGHT AND
THE SPECS. AS PART OF THE
EXTENT THE POWERS VESTED IN
THAT OFFICE. IN ADDITION TO
ENFORCING EXISTING ROBUST ANTI
TRUST LAWS THE OFFICE ALSO HAS
COMPLETE DISCRETION TO REVIEW
THE SALE OF NOT FOR PROFIT
HOSPITALS WHICH ARE THE
MAJORITY OF HOSPITALS IN THE
STATE. THE LAWS AND POWERS ARE
USED EVERY YEAR AS RECENT
LAWSUITS AT HOSPITAL SALES AND
ATTACHED. ADULT FOCUSED SERIOUS
FAULT BECAUSE IT CAPTURES ALL
HOSPITAL TYPES PUBLIC PRIVATE
NOT FOR PROFIT INVESTOR OWNED.
IT LOCAL. IN THE CONFLICT WITH
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. TO CREATE
AN ADDITIONAL CONCURRENT AND
REDUNDANT. PROCESS FOR
NONPROFIT HOSPITALS WHICH
pCONFLICTING REVIEWS FOR SALES.
ALL THE BENEFITS OF HEALTHCARE
SYSTEMS GROUP PATIENT
COORDINATION AND CARE IMPROVE
DISASTER RESPONSE GREATER
FINANCIAL STABILITY AND SUPPORT
FOR STRUGGLING HOSPITALS WHICH
EXPLAINS THE BURDENS WELL
BEYOND HOSPITAL SYSTEMS AND TO
ALL OTHER PROVIDERS. TO DELIVER
HEALTHCARE TOGETHER. AND THIS
IS JUST HOW OF THE BILL. THE
BILL ALL CREATES A ONE SIDED
SYSTEM WITH NO MEANINGFUL
APPEAL OR DUE PROCESS AND NEW
ANTI TRUST LAWS THE PLACE THE
BURDEN OF PROOF. ON THE
PROVIDER AND A GUILTY UNTIL
PROVEN INNOCENT SYSTEM. IT IS A
PERMANENT TRANSFER OF ENORMOUS
POWER. TO ONE ELECTED OFFICE.
THE JUDGE AND JURY FOR
THOUSANDS OF HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS AND MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS YOU SIR. SHE CHAIR
MEMBERS ARE WILLING TO ENGAGE
IN A DISCUSSION ABOUT POLICY
REFORM TRANGER OVERSIGHT.
INCLUDING EXISTING OVERSIGHT
BUT NO IT'S NOT THE TIME AND
THIS IS NOT THE VEHICLE. I
WOULD- JUST NOTE MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS THAT THAT CAN BE
MANAGED TODAY DO NOT REMEMBER
OPPOSITION AND WE URGE A NO
VOTE. THANK YOU WILL MOVE ON TO
OUR NEXT WITNESS. A MAJOR EVENT
THANK YOU MEDICARE MEMBERS YES
HI AMY DURBIN OF THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND
OPPOSITION. IN GENERAL THEORY
OF SUPPORTIVE OF GOVERNMENTAL
ACTIONS DESIGNED TO ASSURE
HOSPITAL MARKET COMPETITION
HOWEVER THIS BILL GOES WELL
BEYOND HOSPITAL ACQUISITIONS
AND MERGERS AND WOULD CAPTURE
AND LIMIT AB AFTER A OF HEALTH
TRANSACTION. INCLUDING LEASING
AND OTHER CONTRACTING
ARRANGEMENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL
PHYSICIANS AND PROVIDERS NOT
JUST HEALTH SYSTEMS FOR EXAMPLE
CONTRACTS BETWEEN MEDICAL
GROUPS AND HOSPITALS TO PROVIDE
ON CALL SERVICES TRAUMA
SERVICES ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN
PROVIDERS AND HOSPITALS
REGARDING STOPPING PROVIDING
SERVICES THROUGH TELEHEALTH.
ALSO WANT TO CLARIFY THAT
BATMAN MEN'S CHANGING THE WORD
AFFILIATION TO CHANGE OF
CONTROL DO NOT CHANGE THE SCOPE
OF THE BILL IN THAT REGARD
BECAUSE THE DEFINITION REMAINS
THE SAME IT STILL MEANS ALL
ARRANGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS
PARTNERSHIPS AND LEASE REMAINS
THE DEPTH IN THE DEFINITION OF
ACQUISITION AS WELL. IN
ADDITION THE FRAMEWORK OF THE
BELT A SUBSTANTIALLY BALANCED
FOR INSTANCE IT BROADLY
CAPTURES HEALTH PROVIDER
ARRANGEMENTS YET IT DOESN'T
CAPTURE HEALTH PLANS UNDER THE
SAME PROCESS BOTH EMAIL TO
ALLOW PRIVATE EQUITY FIRMS TO
VIOLATE LAWS TO ENSURE OUR-
QUALITY. CARE FRAMEWORKS THAT
FOR THE BILL AS WELL WAIT
TOWARD HIM AS WHICH BY MUCH
IMPORTANT. NOT PROPERLY BALANCE
WEAPONS TO WORK THE AS ACTS TO
CARE. THAT MEANS THE NOT ONLY
THE BILL FRAMEWORK ABOUT OF CON
WITH AN PROVIDERS BUT IT WILL
PREVENT THEM FROM BEING A- AND
ALLOWED. THE LAST MAIN POINT I
WANT TO MAKE IS THAT THERE'S NO
LIMITATIONS OR EXEMPTIONS IN
THE BATTLE FOR ACCESS SMALLER
PROVIDERS TRANSACTION RURAL
AREAS. FOR INSTANCE THAT
PROPOSED AMENDMENT REGARDING.
MAINTAINING ACCESS OR CHANGING.
THE SHELVES TO. DOES NOT CHANGE
THE BROADER FLOOD FREE MARK
WITH THE BROAD CRITERIA AND
DEFINITIONS THAT MUST BE MET
AND FELL. WHILE THAT ONE
MILLION DOLLAR THRESHOLD AND
SIMILAR AMENDMENTS RELATED TO
EXPEDITE IT OR THIRTY OR SIXTY
DAY AUTOMATIC PROCESS EITHER
STATED ATTEMPTS TO LIMIT
IMPACTS ON SMALLER PROVIDERS
AND DECREASED. TRANSACTION
MEETING APPROVAL THEY'RE ALSO
NOT EXEMPTION ALL UP BACK. YOU
STILL. NOTIFYING ME HE WHICH
REVIEW CONNECTS HIGHLY TO DO
FURTHER LET ME AND DELAY
TRANSACTION. SO WE BELIEVE TO
BE BY MISSPELLING GOOD WE ALSO
BELIEVE IT'S- WRITTEN LEADING
TO OF UNCERTAINTY AN ALREADY
VERY UNCERTAIN ENVIRONMENT.
DURING THIS PUBLIC HEALTH AND
ECONOMIC CRISIS AND WE'RE
WORKING TO THE OPERATORS OF
ADDITIONAL AND FAST RESOURCES
JUST TO KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN.
THIS BILL WILL ONLY FURTHER
DECREASES OPPORTUNITIES AND
ACCESS TO NECESSARY HEALTHCARE.

COMMITTEE. MR BONTA. THANK YOU
SENATOR MONNING FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD AYE AYE EIGHT
APPRECIATE YOUR FOCUS ON
PROTECTING CONSUMERS AND
PATIENTS AT AS YOU STATED IN
OUR PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS
pDAY AND- I'VE ALSO HAD CAN'T
STOP THE SPONSOR AND A NUMBER
IN OPPOSITION. AND I THINK THE
MEMBERS HELP MAKE CLEAR WHAT
WE'RE FOCUSING ON THE NEED FOR
THE CHANGE OF CONTROL. THE
FOCUS ON A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
OR PRIVATE EQUITY GROUP. OR
HEDGE FUND OF IT BEING A
PARTICIPANT IN AND NOT CHANGE
OF CONTROL. ARM AND THE
DEFINITION HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
BEING SOMETHING OF A SYSTEM
INVOLVING THREE HOSPITALS WHEN
THE GENERAL ACUTE CARE.
HOSPITAL IN CALIFORNIA SO I
APPRECIATE ALL THAT CLARITY
EVEN WITH THAT CLARITY I'VE HAD
QUITE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS
AROUND- AB WORRY ABOUT OVER
BREAT. AND PICK OUT OF
CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT ENTITIES
AND WHAT ARRANGEMENTS ARE
CAPTURED BY THIS BILL. I
UNDERSTAND IT KAISER HAS
CONCERNED THAT ITS ENTIRE
SYSTEM MIGHT BE CONTEMPLATED
AND COVERED BY THIS GUY NO
THAT'S NOT YOUR TENT- AND SOME
OF THE SMALLER- ARRANGEMENTS-
BETWEEN SMALLER PRACTICE
GROUPS. I DON'T THINK IS YOUR
INTENT AS WELL SO I WOULD JUST
LIKE TO ASK THAT. YOU CONSIDER
CONTINUE TO CONSIDER THOSE
CONCERNS AND- PROVIDE. AS YOU
MOVE FORWARD I'M GONNA SUPPORT
YOUR BILL TODAY I APPRECIATE
WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO PROTECT
HEALTHCARE PROTECT CONSUMERS
PROTECT PATIENTS- I LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING IT AND
HOPEFULLY GET A CLEARER FORM.
WHEN HITS THE FLOOR- IF IT GETS
OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE ON TO
BEFORE THANK YOU SENATOR MONEY.
THE CHAIR IF I MIGHT JUST
COMMENT ON A COUPLE OF THE
ISSUES BECAUSE- I THINK I WAS
ABLE TO HELP CLARIFY IN OUR
CONVERSATIONS AND- THE BREADTH
OF THE OPPOSITION I CERTAINLY.
RESPECT TO THE SELF INTEREST OF
THOSE BUSINESS ENTITIES
ASSOCIATIONS ETCETERA. BUT
AGAIN THE THRESHOLD LANDS OF
THIS BILL IS PROTECTING
PATIENTS AND CONSUMERS SO THE
QUESTION IS COME UP ABOUT- I
THINK THERE'S BEEN AN OVER
BREATH AND SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION ABOUT. THE ENTITIES
THAT WOULD BE CAUGHT UP THAT IF
A PHYSICIAN GROUPS SOUGHT TO
NEGOTIATE A LEASE. WITH THE
PROPERTY OWNER IN THEIR OUNTY
THAT SOMEHOW THAT WOULD BE
SUBJECT TO THE REVIEW OF THE
TOURNEY GENERAL. NO IT WOULD
NOT- WITH THE NARROWING
AMENDMENTS WE FURTHER FOCUS ON
THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM AS YOU
MENTIONED BEING THREE HOSPITALS
ONE OF WHICH HAS TO HAVE A CUTE
KERR. THE KAISER EXAMPLE- THEY
ARE A BIG HEALTH CARE SYSTEM
BUT MY UNDERSTANDING. WHEN
KAISER SETS UP A NEW FACILITY
ITSELF INITIATES THAT IT'S NOT
THROUGH ACQUISITIONS AND
AFFILIATIONS IT'S THROUGH. THEY
START FROM THE GROUND UP IF
THEY'RE BUILDING A NEW HOSPITAL
OR STARTING A NEW PRIMARY
CLINIC. THAT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
OF THE KAISER MODEL- BUT WHEN
WE LOOK AT A HOSPITAL THAT MAY
BE IN DISTRESS. AND THERE'S A
LARGER HELL CARE SO. THAT IS
INTERESTED IN ACQUIRING THAT.
THIS BILL DOES NOT BLOCK THAT
IT DOES NOT PREVENT THAT IT
DOES INSTITUTE A LEVEL OF
REVIEW THAT IS CURRENTLY ONLY
THERE IF AN ENTITY IS A
NONPROFIT. A LOT OF THE
COMMERCIAL MARKET IS FOR PROFIT
TO FOR PROFIT AND THAT'S WHERE
YOU GET EQUITY FUNDS AND HEDGE
FUNDS THEIR NUMBER ONE
ALLEGIANCE. IS TO THE
SHAREHOLDERS. THE SHAREHOLDER
SERVED BY GENERATING PROFIT.
THIS BILL SIXTY EQUALIZE THAT
LEGITIMATE INTEREST IN A FOR
PROFIT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO
PROTECT THE PATIENT AND THE
CONSUMER SO AGAIN I APPRECIATE.
YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR DRAWING
OUT SOME OF THESE DISTINCTIONS
FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING THANK
YOU. VERY MUCH MISS
AGUIAR-CURRY. CEREMONY I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU AND THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL ARE TRYING TO
DO- AND WE ALL KNOW THAT THE
COST OF HEALTH CAR CARE- ARE
SKYROCKETING. I'VE HAD MANY
MANY CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS
BILL AND I'M VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT SOME OF THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. AND AS I TOLD YOU
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED VISITING
A SAID. I ALWAYS I'M GONNA
WATCH OUT FOR MY- DISTRICT AND
I'M ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT
UNINTENDED. IN MY DISTRICT MY
CONSTITUENTS CONSTITUENTS RELY
ON VARIOUS PARTNERSHIPS AND
STAFFING CONTRACTS FOR CENTRAL
AND SPECIALTY CARE. BASED ON MY
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS HERE TODAY AND
WITH MY LOCALS IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT THERE IS A BROAD VARIATION
OF INTERPRETATIONS ON WHAT THIS
BILL DOES. AND DOES NOT CAPTURE.
FOR EXAMPLE I HAVE BEEN HEARING
CONCERNS ABOUT THIS BILL
RESTRICTING RETIRING DENTISTS
AND OPTOMETRISTS. STAFFING
CONTRACTS TO KEEP OUR E. OURS
OPERATING AND INNOVATIVE
PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN FQHCS IN
HOSPITALS. WHEN MY LOOK ARE
CALLING ME SAYING THAT THIS
PROCESS IS GOING TO BE CHILLING
TO THEIR ABILITY CONTINUE TO
OFFER BASIC CONTRACTS AND MAKE
AGREEMENTS WITH COMMUNITY IN
MIND. I HAVE TO TAKE THAT VERY
SERIOUSLY. WHAT INSURANCES ARE
THERE IN THIS BILL THAT
BENEFICIAL ARRANGEMENTS LIKE
THESE WILL BE ABLE TO MOVE
FORWARD. IT IS LARGELY THE
SUBJECTIVE OPINION OF ONE
OFFICE. THANK YOU. MANY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND I DO
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATIONS
WE'VE HAD ON THAT SPECIFIC
QUESTION IT YOU JUST ENDED ON.
SO THE ATTORNEYGENERAL WILL
ASSEMBLE A BOARD OF ADVISORS
WITH STAKEHOLDERS FROM ALL
SECTORS INCLUDING COMMUNITY
CLINICS HOSPITALS RURAL
HOSPITALS INVEST GROUPS LARGE
HOSPITAL SYSTEMS EVERY
STAKEHOLDER AFFECTED BY THIS
LEGISLATION. WILL HAVE A PLACE
AT THE TABLE IMPORTANTLY. THIS
BILL ALSO GIVES OUR COMMUNITIES
A VOICE. TO SEEK OBJECTIVE
REVIEW OF TRANSACTIONS THAT MAY
HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THAT
COMMUNITY THAT WE REPRESENT.
THE HOSPITAL EXAMPLE OF A SOUL
HOSPITAL THAT'S IN ECONOMIC
THIS. IT IS THE ONLY PROVIDER
TO THAT COMMUNITY. THE
OBJECTIVE OF THIS BILL IS TO
PROTECT SERVICE TO PROTECT
ACCESS IN TO MAKE SURE THAT IN
THAT CIRCUMSTANCE THAT'S WHY
ONE OF THE AMENDMENTS THAT.
THERE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A
DEMONSTRATION OF IMPROVEMENT OF
SERVICE IT COULD SIMPLY BE THE
MAINTENANCE OF THAT SERVICE WE
ALSO HAVE A WAIVER. IN RAW
DISTRICTS SOME OF YOUR ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT WOULD QUALIFY AS A
RURAL DISTRICT THAT WOULD BE
SUBJECT TO A WAIVER. FOR THAT
REVIEW BASED ON THE
DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE SERVICE
AREA IT'S BEING SUPPORTED. I
THANK YOU FOR THAT- I STILL
THINK THERE IS SOME- QUESTIONS
THAT SOME OF MY- CONSTITUENTS
WOULD HAVE REGARDING THAT
PARTICULAR RURAL AREAS I WILL
SAY THAT- AGAINST MY BETTER
JUDGEMENT. I WILL SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY. BECAUSE OF THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT I'VE HAD
WITH YOU AND I THINK THAT
YOU'RE AN HONEST MAN WILL WORK
HARD AT THIS AS WELL AS WITH
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE.
BUT I DO WANT TO GO ON RECORD
THAT I'M NOT GOING TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL AGAIN WITHOUT
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES. I HOPE
YOU'LL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE WITH THE OPPOSITION BEFORE
THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE ON
THE FLOOR AND I THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS WHOLE THANK YOU.
MR MAYS. I WANNA- THANK MY TWO
COLLEAGUES BEFORE AFTER THEIR
COMMENTS AND THEY'RE CONCERNED
AND OBVIOUSLY CENTER YOU'VE
DONE QUITE A BIT OF WORK ON
THIS- BUT- YOU AND I'VE NOT
BEEN ABLE TO HAVE ANY
CONVERSATION- AND I PREFER
CONVERSATIONS FACE TO FACE-
BEFORE THE- THE PANDEMIC WE
WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT- AND BEFORE
THE PANDEMIC WHEN YOU CAME IN
MY OFFICE- I WOULD HAVE ACCESS
PROBABLY MORE THAN LIKELY
WALKED OUT OF THIS AND WALKED
INTO GO BE WITH THE CHAIR ABOUT
ABOUT IT MAYBE- THE
AGUIAR-CURRY AND I WOULD HAVE
HAD SOME CONVERSATION AND I
WOULD HAVE. WENT OVER UP TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER RAMOS THIS AND
SAID HEY HAD- JAMES WHAT'S-
HOW'S THIS GOING TO AFFECT OUR
REGION- WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO
DO THAT AND YET THE BILL BEFORE
US RIGHT NOW THE BATTLE FOR
TODAY WHAT HAPPENED NEXT.
IMPACT UPON OUR HEALTH SYSTEM
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THERE'S
NOT A MEMBER IN THIS ROOM THAT
FULLY UNDERSTANDS WHAT THAT
IMPACT GOING TO BE NOW MY GUESS
IS MY GUESS IS THAT THERE'S
BEEN A FEW MEMBERS THAT HAVE
GOTTEN A PHONE CALL FROM A
STATEWIDE ELECTED OFFICIAL SAID
YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME THIS BILL
GIVE ME A COURTESY BILL TO GET
THIS. MY GUESS IS DON'T KNOW
THAT TRUE BUT- THAT WOULD BE MY
GUESS. I THINK IT'S PROBE FOR
US RIGHT NOW AT THIS. TO PAY.
TO TAKE APART. BRING THIS BILL
BACK NEXT SESSION LET US DIG
INTO THIS TO FOR OUT THIS IS
THE PROP WAY TO ADDRESS THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE THERE IS NO
DOUBT- SENATOR. THAT THE
PURPOSE BEHIND THIS BILL IS A
IS A SINCERE WE KNOW THAT
THERE'S BEEN A VERY LARGE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM ACROSS US
THAT WITH WHERE WE'RE STAND
RIGHT NOW. THAT IS DONE
SOMETHING THAT BAR MORE THAN
LIKELY NOT APPROPRIATE BUT TO
HAVE A BROAD BRUSH ACROSS THIS
ENTIRE STATE. TO HAVE A POLICY
LIKE THIS THAT WE DON'T FULLY
UNDERSTAND AND WE HAVEN'T FULLY
DUG INTO I THINK WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE SIDE BAG MY CALL
TODAY. I URGE TO BE ABLE TO PUT
A PAUSE ON THIS AND LET'S COME
BACK NEXT NEXT YEAR TO WORK ON.
ANYONE ELSE HERE. FIRST WHAT
THANK YOU SENATOR FOR YOUR HARD
WORK ON THIS WE HAVE SPENT A
LOT OF TIME TOGETHER ON THE
PHONE- AND- YOU KNOW
NEGOTIATIONS CAN BE TOUGH- IT'S
ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT
MAKE SURE WE'RE MAKING
LEGISLATION THIS WORKABLE IN A
LARGE ESTATE AS LARGE AND
DIVERSE CALIFORNIA. IS A HUGE
CHALLENGE. THE MAINTAINING
ACCESS LANGUAGE ACCESS TO CARE
LANGUAGE WAS VERY IMPORTANT TO
ME. THERE WERE MANY EMPTY
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE VERY
IMPORTANT TO ME. AND I
APPRECIATE YOU WORKING WITH ME
AS WE STRUGGLE WITH THE
EFFECTIVE COVERT NINETEEN HAS
HAD ON OUR POPULATION ECONOMY
MAKING SURE COMMUNITIES DON'T
LOSE ACCESS TO CARE ESPECIALLY
THROUGH A HOSPITAL CLOSURE. IS
IMPERATIVE AND THAT MEANT THAT
AMEND WILL ENSURE THE AG ALSO
HAS THE ABILITY TO HIM APPROVED
CHANGE THE SECOND OF CONTROL
THAT MAINTAINS RATHER AND
ACCESS OF CARE. YOU KNOW I HAVE
A HOSPITAL IN MY DISTRICT THAT-
WAS ON THE REALLY ON THE ON THE
ROPES. AND WAS WAS LOOKING AT
CLOSURE- FORTUNATELY ANOTHER
HOSPITAL SYSTEM WAS ABLE TO
COME IN AND THROUGH AN
OPERATING AGREEMENT THAT THAT
AWESOME THAT HOSPITAL IS
REMAINING OPEN THEY WILL
ACTUALLY- BECAUSE OF THE NATURE
OF THE SYSTEM THEY WILL
ACTUALLY ACHIEVE WHAT. YOU'RE
WITH THE INTENT WAS ORIGINALLY
WHICH WAS TO IMPROVE CARE I DO
BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE OF THE
SIZE OF THEIR SYSTEM. BUT THERE
ARE OTHER COMMUNITIES OUT THERE
WHERE AN ACQUISITION OR OR
CHAIN OF CONTROL. MIGHT JUST
MAINTAIN IT N. AND THAT AND
THAT MAY BE ENOUGH. FOR THAT
COMMUNITY. I THINK THE HARD
THING FOR ME- IS THAT. WE ARE
WORKING TO TRY TO FIND A WAY TO
MAIN YOU KNOW. MAINTAIN THE
COST OF CARE SO THAT IS
REASONABLE FOR PEOPLE THIS IS A
BILL ABOUT CONSUMERS. WHAT
HAPPENED WITH THE SYSTEM. THAT
IS CLOSE TO US ALLOWED FOR THE
INCREASE IN COST. FOR NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA TO BE 2230% HIGHER
THAN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
BECAUSE OF THE CONSOLIDATION OF
THE SYSTEM. THAT TO ME IS
UNFAIR. AND THAT IS THE MEAT OF
THE ISSUE THAT IS WHY THE BILL
IS HERE. YOU KNOW YOU MAY ARGUE
THAT THE BREADTH OF THE BILL
AND ALL OF THAT. BUT WHAT WE'RE
ALWAYS TROUBLES ME IN THESE IS
THAT YOU KNOW THAT I FEEL LIKE.
THE EMPHASIS HAS HAS BEEN ON
THE OPPOSITION TO MORE TO KILL
THE BILL. THEN TO RECOGNIZE AND
WORK WITH US IN A MINUTE. THE
COSTS ARE TOO HIGH. THE COST
THAT IT IS NOT AFFORDABLE
ANYMORE. WHEN THE COST OF
HEALTH CARE DOUBLE IS RISES AT
TWICE THE RATE OF INFLATION YOU
HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT AND
RECOGNIZED THERE IS A PROBLEM.
BUT AT TIMES THE INTERESTS ARE
SO LARGE. THE INTERESTS ARE SO
GREAT. THAT WE OFTEN IGNORE
THAT NOW THERE IS NO QUESTION
THAT OUR HOSPITALS HAVE BEEN
INCREDIBLE LIFELINE TO US.
RIGHT NOW ABSOLUTELY WHERE WE'D
BE WITHOUT THEM. BUT THERE ARE
BAD ACTORS. THERE ARE BAD
ACTORS AND WE HAVE TO WE HAVE
TO RECOGNIZE THAT AND SO I'M
I'M GOING TO PRIVACY SUPPORTING
YOUR BILL WE WORKED EXTENSIVELY
ON THIS SIDE BY BETWEEN THIS
BILL AND ANOTHER BILL WE HEARD
EARLIER HI. YOU KNOW THEY WERE
DONE THEIR MEMBERS AND BUDGET
SURE WHICH BILL I WAS WORKING
ON QUITE FRANKLY BECAUSE THIS
BEEN THAT IT'S BEEN THAT
INTENSE BUT BUT I APPLAUD YOUR
EFFORTS- YOU'RE YOU'RE YOU'RE A
GOOD MAN TO WORK WITH YOU'RE
NOT OF A MAN YOU HAVE YOUR YOU
HAVE YOUR HEART RIGHT. I
BELIEVE THIS I BELIEVE THIS IS
A BETTER BILL BECAUSE OF OUR
WORK TOGETHER IS IT IS IT
PERFECT WELL THERE IS NO
PERFECT ALL AND HOPE THAT WE
YOU KNOW THIS BODY WILL ALLOW
THE WORK TO CONTINUE IF THERE
IS A DESIRE FOR ADDITIONAL
PAYMENTS AND- IT'S STILL TIME
IN MY TIME WE GOT WE GOT THE ON.
SO WE GET TO THE THIRTY FIRST
OF AUGUST SO WITH WITH WITH
THAT. I'M SORRY. WITH HAVE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO A CENTER
MONEY THANK YOU VERY IS
CHAIRMAN I KNOW IT'S BEEN A
LONG DAY AND I DO A THE ON AND
JUST TO HIGH A COUPLE OF THE
THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. THE
OPERATING. OF THIS LEGISLATION
IS TO PROTECT CONSUMERS AND
PATIENTS ARE CONSTITUENTS.
THERE WAS AN EXAMPLE GIVEN OF
IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NETWORK-
THAT WAS PURSUED THROUGH ANTI
ANTI TRUST AUTHORITY OF THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THAT
DIDN'T REACH CLOSURE UNTIL
YEARS AFTER. THE PAYERS
PATIENTS UNIONS THAT MAINTAIN
COVERAGE FOR THEIR MEMBERS
BUSINESSES THAT MAINTAIN
COVERAGE FOR THEIR MEMBERS. IN
A SETTLEMENT IT WAS DETERMINED
THAT THEY OVER CHARGED FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. THAT
LITIGATION NOBODY GOT A REMEDY.
FOR FIVE YEARS SEVEN YEARS AND
STILL IN LITIGATION. IT'S NOT
JUST THAT ONE SYSTEM MEMBERS
STATEWIDE LOOK IN YOUR
DISTRICTS SOME MORE PRONOUNCED
THAN OTHERS NOT MY WORD THAT
USC UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
NEW YORK TIMES LA TIMES
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM RATES
ARE GOING UP IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
RATES ARE GOING UP IN A MANNER
NOT COMMENSURATE TO THE COST OF
LIVING. NOT COMMENSURATE TO THE
COST OF SUPPLIES WERE
PHARMACEUTICALS RATES ARE GOING
UP BECAUSE OF MARKET DOMINATION.
THAT IS ON STEROIDS RIGHT NOW
PARTICULARLY DURING OUR
ECONOMIC CRISIS. WE ARE THE
LINE BETWEEN OUR CONSTITUENTS.
AND THESE MARKET FORCES IT IS
LONG AS WE LIVE IN A FOR PROFIT
MEDICAL SYSTEM THE DRIVING
MOTIVES. OF THESE LARGE SYSTEMS
IS TO MAXIMIZE. YOU MAXIMIZE
PROFIT BY MINIMIZING SERVICE.
IN BY DOMINATING A REGION.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS
DESIGNED TO PROTECT US AGAINST.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL DOESN'T
SEEK TO BLOCK TRANSACTIONS
AFFILIATIONS THAT'S NOT MY
INTENT OUR INTENT IS TO PROTECT.
JUST QUICKLY IN MY OWN DISTRICT
TWO EXAMPLES ONE WITH THE
NONPROFIT IN SOUTH SANTA CLARA
COUNTY WHERE A BUYER FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LARGE
HOSPITAL NETWORK. SOUGHT TO
SECURE AN AREA IN UNDERSERVED
AREAS SOUTH SANTA CLARA COUNTY
AN AGRICULTURAL AREA THEN
ATTORNEY GENERAL KAMALA HARRIS
WHO HAD JURISDICTION. BECAUSE
IT WAS A NONPROFIT INVOLVED
WITH THE PERFORMER PROFIT.
TRIED TO SECURE A COMMITMENT
FROM THE BUYER TO MAINTAIN
EMERGENCY ROOM SERVICES IN
SOUTH COUNTY. THE BUYER WAS NOT
WILLING TO MAKE THAT COMMITMENT
THE SALE WAS NOT APPROVED UNDER
EXISTING LAW. THAT FACILITY WAS
NOW ACQUIRED BY SANTA CLARA
COUNTY. BY THE COUNTY HEALTH
SYSTEM AND WE MAINTAINED
SERVICES TO OUR CONSTITUENTS.
FLIP OVER TO WATSONVILLE ONE OF
THE MOST DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE
AVERAGE FAMILY INCOME EIGHTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR FAMILY
NOT INDIVIDUAL. PRIVATE
WATSONVILLE HOSPITAL. FOR SALE
IN DISTRESS BUT BY A HEDGE
FUND. THE COMMUNITY HEALTH
TRUST THE COMMUNITY BASED
CLINICS WENT TO THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL. THE SERRA AND ASKED
FOR HIM TO REVIEW THIS SALE TO
PROTECT SERVICES IN WATSONVILLE
AN HOUR AWAY FROM SANTA CRUZ
EMERGENCY ROOM AN HOUR AWAY
FROM SALINAS LIFE AND DEATH.
THE GENERAL SAID SORRY I DON'T
HAVE JURISDICTION. THIS IS A
FOR PROFIT HEDGE FUND. FROM OUT
OF STATE ACQUIRING A FOR PROFIT
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. SO THAT
SALE WENT THROUGH. AND NOW THE
COMMUNITY WAIT TO SEE ESSEL
VALUABLE LAND OWNED BY THE
HOSPITAL THAT THE COMMUNITY
WANT TO USE FOR NURSING HOUSING
HOUSING FOR NURSES. FOR
CHILDCARE FOR HEALTH CARE
WORKERS. ON THE AUCTION BLOCK.
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS
DESIGNED TO GIVE THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL REVIEW A THORNY. WITH
THE STAKEHOLDER ADVISORY GROUP.
AND IT EMPOWERS FRIENDS OUR
CONSTITUENTS OUR COMMUNITY
HEALTH CLINIC OUR COMMUNITY
ADVOCATES. TO SAY THIS
TRANSACTION IS TAKING PLACE MR
OR MRS ATTORNEY GENERAL MILLS
ATTORNEY GENERAL WE WANT YOU TO
HELP US MAKE SURE. THAT WE
PROTECT EXISTING SERVICES WHERE
POSSIBLE THAT WE EXPAND
SERVICES. WE ARE IN A HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM THAT IS IN CRISIS
THAT IS DRIVEN ITS LIFEBLOOD IS
PROFIT IT'S MOTIVATION
SECONDARILY I WOULD SUBMIT IS
CARE AND CONCERN FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES. THERE SIX SECTIONS
TO THIS I'M. CONCERNED THAT
MANY OF THE OPPONENTS WOULD NOT
FALL UNDER THE SCOPE OF THIS
LEGISLATION AND WHAT IN FACT BE
PROTECTED BY IT. A GROUP OF
OPTOMETRISTS ARE DENTISTS OR
DOCTORS WHO WANT TO MERGE WITH
EACH OTHER OR LEASE A BUILDING
OR TWO GROUPS GET TOGETHER.
THIS BILL THERE'S NO TRIGGER
THAT. THEY'RE NOT INVOLVED IN
THAT REVIEW. UNLESS THEY HAVE A
HEDGE FUND. OR AN INVESTOR
GROUP BEHIND THEM AND EVEN
THERE IT DOESN'T PREVENTIVE IT
JUST SAYS OKAY NOW WE'RE GOING
TO REVIEW AND MAKE SURE THE
COMMUNITY IS PROTECTED. SO
AGAIN I WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR
AND HIS STAFF. WANT TO THANK
EACH OF YOU I KNOW IT'S BEEN A
LONG DAY. I'VE HAD THE
pOF YOU. I LOOK FORWARD. TO YOUR
VOTE THIS EVENING THAT LETS US

A LOCAL HEALTH AUTHORITY
THROUGH A COUNTY ORDINANCE THE
HEALTH AUTHORITY WILL BE ABLE
TO DESIGNATE WHICH PLANTS CAN
COMPETE FOR THE STATE CONTRACT
FOR MEDIC CAL PROVIDE ON GOING
LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY THIS BILL
ALSO PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION
FOR THE HEALTH OF GOING TO
COUNTY TO ENACT OTHER FORMS
LIKE TRANSITIONING TO A TWO
PLAN MODEL COUNTY. FOR MANY
YEARS SACRAMENTO'S GEOGRAPHIC
MANAGED CARE MODEL HAS CAUSED
PROBLEMS FOR BENEFICIARIES AND
PROVIDERS ALIKE EXISTING SYSTEM
IS FRAGMENTED LEADING TO
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS FOR
PROVIDERS DIFFICULT EXCESS CARE
FOR PATIENTS RADICALLY ONE OF
THE REASONS FOR THIS BILL HAS
BEEN THE LACK OF COORDINATION
BETWEEN OUR MEDICAL PROGRAM
HEALTH PLANS WHICH ONLY
CORRECT. LEAGUE CONTRACT WITH
THE STATE AND NOT GET ANY
COUNTY OR LOCAL INPUT AND
INTEGRATION WITH LOCAL- COUNTY
PROGRAMS LIKE PUBLIC HEALTH AND
THIS COURSE HAS BEEN
EXACERBATED WITH KOBE- SO IN
THE TWENTY NINETEEN A BROAD
GROUP OF STAKEHOLDERS BEGAN TO
MEET TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES
AND TO DEVELOP THE
RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPROVE
MEDICARE ON SACRAMENTO AND
pROBUST LOCAL OVERSIGHT
ACCOUNTABILITY TO ALLOW THIS
KIND OF. INTEGRATION AND
PARTNERSHIP SO SB TWENTY NINE
ESSENTIALLY DOES THAT THROUGH
THE NEW HEALTH AUTHORITY
SACRAMENTO STAKEHOLDERS WILL
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS
PRESSING LOCAL MEDIC CAL ISSUES
AND HELP DETERMINE THE PLAN TO
PROVIDE MEDICAL SERVICES IN THE
COUNTY IN THIS IS ACTUALLY
FAIRLY SIMILAR TO WHAT MANY
COUNTIES ALREADY HAVE IN THEIR
OWN COUNTIES JUST THAT
SACRAMENTO DOES NOT. WE HAVE
SEEN THAT THE COVER NINETEEN
CRISIS EXACERBATES PROBLEMS
CAUSED BY THE STATE CUSTOM
ESTABLISHING TISSUE BETWEEN.
MEDIC COW WE REPRESENTS OF OVER.
OF ALL OUR- PEOPLE IN THE SAN
COUNTY INCLUDE COUNTING FOR
HEALTH IMPROVE SEX COUNTY
CAPACITY TO DRAW COVERT NOW.
FINALLY NEEDS IS PLANNING TO
CONDUCT A STATE RE PROCUREMENT
OF MEDICARE MANAGED CARE PLANS
NEXT YEAR AND SB TEN TWENTY
NINE MAKE SURE THAT SACRAMENTO
COUNTY STAKEHOLDERS HAVE A
VOICE IN THAT UPCOMING PROCESS

FROM THE COMMITTEE FOR SENATOR
PAM. MISTER NAZARIAN THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR. CENTER THIS BILL
HAVE ANY STATEWIDE APPLICATION.
CAN YOU REPEAT THAT AGAIN YOU
ARE COURSE DOESN'T HAVE A
STATEWIDE APPLICATION. SO
CERTAINLY THIS BILL IS A
DISTRICT BILL WOULD ADDRESSES
AN ISSUE THAT WE HAVE HERE IN
SACRAMENTO COUNTY. OKAY I THINK
MANY OF US TO CARRY DISTRICT
BILLS TO TRY TO ADDRESS
INTERFACES BETWEEN STATE
PROGRAMS THAT'S WHY REQUIRE A
STATE BILL. AND THE LOCAL
SITUATION. OKAY SO IT'S A VERY
LOCALIZED BILL WITHOUT.
IMPACTING OR BENEFITING THE
ENTIRE STATE TO GIVEN THE
PANDEMIC RAGING THROUGH THE
STATE DOES THIS BILL NEEDS TO
BE PASSED THIS YEAR. I WOULD
SAY THAT THIS BILL ACTUALLY
WOULD IMPROVE THE INTEGRATION
BETWEEN OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT. WHICH OF COURSE HAS
TREMENDOUS RESPONSIBILITIES
DURING KOBE AND OUR MEDICAL
CARE SYSTEM THAT IS TAKING CARE
OF THESE CODED PATIENTS AND SO
IN FACT EVEN. BEFORE KOBE CAME
THAT WAS ONE OF THE MAIN
DRIVERS OF THIS PARTICULAR BILL
BUT CERTAINLY COVE IT HAS
ACTUALLY HIGHLIGHTED HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS THAT THIS BILL
ACTUALLY BE. PASSED HERE SO WE
COULD ACTUALLY GIVE THE COUNT
AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO. BRING
THE PLANS AND PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT TOGETHER SO THEY CAN
WORK TOGETHER TO TRY TO CONTACT
OPENS UP THE- ACCOUNT.
THOUGHTFUL ABOUT. HEALTH PLAN.
DOES SO YOUR CLIENT REALLY. A
COMPLAINTS YOU'RE BASICALLY
TELLING ME THAT ESTABLISHING A
LOCAL TWENTY MEMBER COMMISSION.
WILL HELP THE SPREAD OF THE
CORONA VIRUS. WELL I WOULD SAY
THAT THE OPRAH SITE THAT WOULD
BE PROVIDED AT SACRAMENTO
COUNTY WHICH CURRENTLY HAS NO.
AUTHORITY TO OVERSEE THE
MEDICARE HEALTH PLANS
ESSENTIALLY MEANS OVERSEE MEDIC
COW AT ALL BECAUSE WE HAVE
GEOGRAPHIC MANAGED CARE WOULD
MEAN THAT THEREFORE THERE IS
LITTLE INTEGRATION BETWEEN OUR
MEDICARE PROGRAM WHICH COVERS
YOU HEARD FROM DOCTOR PHELAN
SENT. OVER YOU KNOW FOUR PEOPLE
OR A THIRD A THIRD OF ALL THAT
RESIDENTS OF SACRAMENTO COUNTY
INTO PUBLIC HEALTH EFFORTS AND
I THINK THAT THAT'S IN TYPE OF
UNIT. THAT SHOULD HAPPEN AS
POINT OUT THAT MANY OTHERS HE'S
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THERE ACTUALLY IS. COUNTY INPUT
INTO THEIR MANAGED CARE GRAHAM
RELATED ATTIC HOUSE WHETHER
THEY ACTUALLY OPERATE BECAUSE
THEY AS A PLAN. EVERYONE PLAN.
OR BMC WHICH TWENTY TWENTY IS
THE ONLY OTHER COUNTY TO THAT
THERE'S A LANGUAGE IN THERE THE
CO TO ALLOW THEM TO PROVIDE
THAT INPUT TO THEIR DEGREE
MATCH CARE PLANS HOWEVER IN
SACRAMENTO DOES NOT EXIST SO
THIS ESSENTIALLY ESTABLISHES
DATAPOWER. AND IT HAS TO HAPPEN
THIS YEAR THAT WENT IN A TIME
WHEN WE'VE BEEN FOCUSING. ON
THE CORVETTE NINETEEN IMPACTS
AND MANY BILLS HAVE BEEN CAST
ASIDE AND SACRIFICE THIS THIS
YEAR IS THE YEAR TO DO THIS
BILL. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO
DIRECTLY IMPACT THE CORONAVIRUS
ISSUE. I WOULD SAY IT CERTAINLY
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO THE PEOPLE
OF SACRAMENTO. THAT THIS
HAPPENS AS I POINTED OUT THAT
ACTUALLY THIS BILL WAS ACTUALLY
INITIALLY DRIVEN BY THIS
DISCONNECT BETWEEN PUBLIC
HEALTH AND OUR HEALTH AND OUR
MEDICAL PROGRAM WHICH WE VERY
INTENSIFIED EVEN PRE CODED. AS
A SAID THAT AND SO THE FACT
THAT KOVITZ COME ABOUT BECAUSE
ONLY UNDERSCORED HOW IMPORTANT
MOVING THE BILL FORWARD IS AND
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE
DEPARTMENT HEALTH SERVICES ON
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE. AND
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH MANY
OTHER STATE THERE SO IS THE
PART OF A PROCESS IT'S BEEN
GOING ON FOR OVER A YEAR BUT I
WOULD POINT. TOLD IS ONLY UNDER.
THE BILL IS PARTICULARLY DURING
ED OF THE- TO IN PUBLIC HEALTH
AND OUR MEDICAL PROGRAM. HI MR
SHAPIRO MAYBE JUST. MAKING
FINAL COMMENT. YOU KNOW I WE
HEAR A LOT OF THINGS AND WE
HEAR A LOT OF DIFFERENT
ARGUING A CERTAIN. POINT BILLS
HAVE BEEN HELD THAT HAVE
DIRECTLY IMPACTED. AND WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPACT PEOPLE'S
LIVES. RIGHT NOW. AND YET
SOMETHING LIKE THIS IMPACTING
ONLY ONE PART OF THE STATE IS
BEING BROUGHT UP AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW THIS IN ANY WAY.

REQUIRES HOSPITALS TO RICH TO
RETROFIT AND REPLACEMENT
HOSPITAL BUILDINGS TO ENSURE

THE TRUTH OF THE HOSPITAL'S
ORIGINAL INTENT. THE DESIRE FOR
THE HOSPITAL DID. TO GET OUT

ALLOW THE STATE TO COLLECT CASH
FROM THE AND REPORTS. AND OTHER
INFORMATION TO ENSURE ONLY
SMALL WORLD HOSPITAL TO THE
TROOPS FUNDING RIGHT THAT WILL
BE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT EXTENSION.
ADDITIONALLY WE WOULD URGE THE
COMMITTEE TO REQUIRE HOSPITALS
SUBMIT A COMPLIANCE SCHEDULE
DATE PROTECT YEAH AND WHAT THE
TENSION WITH NO INTENTION TO
EVER ACTUALLY COMPLY. BECAUSE

AND I BELIEVE THAT THOSE CAN'T
ACCOMPLISH THAT THOSE THAT CAN
ACCOMPLISH IT. SHOULD I LOOK
FOR THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
AND BILLS. I FEAR THAT FEAR
THAT THIS PROPOSAL COULD
ENCOURAGE HOSPITALS TO HAVE THE
MONEY AND THE PLANS TO DELAY
THEIR WORK. CAN THIS
LEGISLATION BE LIMITED TO
HOSPITALS THE SHOW TRUE
FINANCIAL NEED FOR THIS
EXTENSION. SINCE THESE BILLS
ARE ONLY GOING THROUGH ONE
POLICY COMMITTEE IT IS
IMPORTANT FOR ME THAT WE GET
THIS RIGHT. I BELIEVE WHAT THE
OPPOSITION PROPOSED IS VERY
REASONABLE. SINCE THIS BILL
LANGUAGE WAS ONLY AMENDED IN
JULY I WILL SUPPORT TO MOVE IT
ALONG BUT I ASK YOU TO WORK
WITH THOSE OF THE REQUESTED
CHANGES BEFORE THE NEXT BOAT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS.

AN ORANGE COUNTY LARGEST MENTAL
HEALTH FACILITY ORANGE COUNTY
JAIL OVER 30% OF THOSE WHO ARE

THIS BILL ALLOWS THAT A PORTION
OF THE FUNDS THAT ARE RATED THE
POOL OF FUNDS THAT ARE
GENERATED BY PROP. SIX THE.

MAY GO FORWARD BUT THIS IS A
PILOT PROJECT. FIVE YEAR PILOT
PROJECT ONLY IN EIGHT YET TO BE

AWAY FROM LOS ANGELES COUNTY
DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM ORANGE

ABOUT 30% OF THE INCARCERATED
POPULATION IS IN NEED OF MENTAL

COMPRISES 5% OF AN HSA
REVENUES. TO HELP DETERMINE
WHETHER THE EXPANSION OF MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES IN COUNTY JAILS
PROVIDES BETTER OUTCOMES FOR
INDIVIDUALS IN NEED OF SERVICES
IN THE COMMUNITY AND WITHIN A
COMMUNITY CHECK. THIS
INNOVATION BROWN WOULD PROVIDE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRULY TRACK
AND TEST THE VALIDITY OF THE
ARGUMENTS BEING MADE IN SUPPORT
OF INCREASING THE FLEXIBILITY
OF IMAGE MHSAA DOLLARS. TO FUND
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN
COUNTY JAIL. TO ENSURE THE BEST
POSSIBLE OUTCOME IT IS

STRONG OPPOSITION. THANK YOU.
OKAY I THINK THAT'S IT. OKAY WE
WILL BRING THIS BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS MR MAYS. I SENATOR IT
IS NINE O'CLOCK MY GOODNESS- SO
ONE OF THE QUESTIONS- THAT IS
COME UP AND ACTUALLY EVEN FROM
MY LOCALS IT SEEMS TO BE NOT SO
CLEAR THAT YOU BROUGHT THIS UP-
IN YOUR YOUR OPENING- IS
WHETHER THE COUNTY SUPERVISOR
FOR LOCALS AND GET TO OPT IN OR
BUT MATTER OPT OUT OF THIS
PROGRAM CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THAT
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE I'M NOT
QUITE SURE WHETHER IT BE
OPPOSITION IF THE COUNTY
THEMSELVES. WILL HAD LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS LOCAL CONTROL SO
CAN YOU DRESS THAT. I THANK YOU
MR MAYES- I HEARD SOME COMMENT
WITH RESPECT TO COUNTIES- SO
FAR AS I'M AWARE THERE'S NO
COUNTY THAT'S OPPOSED TO. EIGHT
SB SIX SIX FIVE. THIS IS A
PILOT PROJECT. EIGHT COUNTIES
ARE ELIGIBLE. TO PARTAKE IN THE
PROJECT NO COUNTY IS FORCED TO
BE IN. NO COUNTY IS FORCED TO
BE OUT AND INDEED IF I COUNTY
OPS IN IN A PROPOSAL INNOVATIVE
PROGRAMS SO FOR EXAMPLE ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT IS. LACKING IN
CRITICAL IS A HAND OFF FROM
THOSE WHO ARE INCARCERATED TO
THOSE WHO ARE RETURNED BACK TO
THE COMMUNITY. SO IF I COUNTY
DECIDES THAT THAT'S AN
INNOVATIVE PROGRAM THAT THEY
WISH TO PURSUE. AND THEY GET
APPROVAL FROM THE- THE MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES OVERSIGHT AND
ACCOUNTABILITY I SHOULD WHO HAS
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE- THE
PROBE. OF THOSE. THEN THEY CAN
DO SO BUT FORCED TO AND INDEED
AS I SAID EARLIER IT DOES NOT
TAKE MONEY AWAY FROM ANY OTHER
COUNTY FOR EXAMPLE. THERE IS
THOSE THAT ARE CONCERNED AT
THIS MONEY MIGHT BE DIVERTED
FROM ONE PROGRAM INTO A NOTHER
PROGRAM. THE LOCALS ARE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT
DECISION EVEN THOUGH- THERE'S-
EIGHT EIGHT OF THESE COUNTIES
THAT CAN- THAT THEY CAN BE PART
OF THIS. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE
IF THEY'RE NOT FORCED TO BE
THEY STILL RETAIN LOCAL CONTROL
TO DO SO ABSOLUTELY CAPSULE. AT
THE END THERE'S A PROVISION THE
BILL THAT DOES NOT THAT FORBIDS
THE SUPPLICATION OF FUNDS
ANOTHER WORDS YOU CAN'T USE
THIS MONEY BY HAND CUFFS. MISS
WALDRON. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR- SB SIX SIX FIVE SIX TO
ADDRESS ONE OF THE MOST
PRESSING ISSUES IN OUR STATE-
IN FACT BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
SERVICES IN COUNTY JAIL AND
IT'S AN ISSUE THAT I CARE
DEEPLY ABOUT GETTING TREATMENT
TO JUSTICE INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS
WILL REDUCE RECIDIVISM AND HELP
PEOPLE HEAL AND HAVE SUCCESSFUL
REENTRY. I'VE STUDY THE ISSUES
RAISED ON BOTH SIDES AND
UNDERSTAND THE STILL
SIGNIFICANT DEBATE ABOUT. THE
USE OF M. H. ESSAY FUNDS FOR
THIS PURPOSE BUT I'M SWAYED
THAT THIS IS INDEED APPROPRIATE
BECAUSE IT FURTHERS THE INTENT
OF THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
THAT. THE PILOT ROOM IS LIMITED
TIME IN SCOPE AND THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT SAFEGUARDS. BECAUSE
OF THE DIRE NEED FOR THESE
RESOURCES. TO PREVENT
RECIDIVISM AND TREAT- URGENT
BEHAVIOR HEALTH ISSUES I
SUPPORT THE BILL AND THEN KURT
AND I VOTE THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ANYONE ELSE. MISTER
ROBERTS. THANK YOU THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN- THANK YOU OF
CENTER FOR BRINGING THIS ISSUE
FORWARD I JUST WANT TO I KNOW
WE TALKED- AND TRY TO WORK
THROUGH SOME OF THE ITEMS IN
THE BILL AND I MENTIONED WHILE
WE'RE ON THE COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS WE WORKED- WITH
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TO USE SOME
OF THIS THESE DOLLARS TO ENSURE
THAT THERE WAS- SOMEONE GOING
OUT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
FIREFIGHTERS ON THAT WAS ONE
THAT MADE THAT MESSAGE WHAT THE-
OUR- THE OFTEN STILL WOULD BE
MADE AT THE LOCAL JURISDICTION
I. THERE THE FUNDING MECHANISM
OF IT ALSO WOULD THAT BE AT THE
LOCAL BOARDS DISCRETION OR
WOULD THAT BE AT THE STATE-
WITH THE DOLLARS COMING IN. SO
IT'S A GOOD QUESTION. THE FUNDS
ARE DIVIDED AMONG THE COUNTIES
AND SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS
IT IS IT DOESN'T PROVIDE
ACTUALLY ANY ADDITIONAL MONIES
OF THE INNOVATIVE FUN AND
ALLOWS THE COUNTY TO USE THOSE
INNOVATIVE PROBLEMS SHOULD THEY
APPLY. TO BE USED IN THE JAIL
FOR MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT SO
THE LOCAL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
HAS CONTROL OVER HOW MUCH MONEY
IS SPENT OF THAT POT AND WHERE
THAT MONEY IS SPENT OF THAT.
NOW THEY DON'T HAVE EXCLUSIVE
CONTROL BECAUSE THE BOARD THAT
OVERSEES THE ALLOCATION THE
USES PROP SIXTY THREE MONEY.
ALSO HAS TO AGREE. NOW WE ALSO-
TOUCHED ON- ONE OF THE OTHER
TOPICS AS FAR AS- COUNTY JAILS
AND SOME OF THESE FUNDING
WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO USE BE USED
IN THE IN THE STATE. PRISON
SYSTEM RIGHT THERE IS- FELONIES
AND THESE ARE THE THINGS WE
TALKED ABOUT. BUT WE ALSO
TALKED ABOUT NOW IN THE COUNTY
JAIL WE HAVE A MORE OF A I
THINK THE THREE TIER. SENTENCES
THAT ARE BEING- FOR PLAYED OUT
IN THE COUNTY AREA SO HOW DOES
THAT PLAY WITHIN THE DOLLARS.
THE I THINK COME UP DOLLARS I'M
GOING TOWARDS- THOSE TYPES OF-
FELONIES IN THOSE TYPES OF
PRISONERS THAT ARE FROM THE
STATE. SO IT IS TRUE THAT SIXTY
THREE MONIES CANNOT BE USED IN
PRISONS AND THIS DOESN'T APPLY
TO PRESENT THIS APPLIES ONLY
TO. COUNTY FACILITIES OF
INCARCERATION IT'S ALSO TRUE AS
YOU MENTIONED THAT THAT PEOPLE
ARE SPENDING LONGER PERIODS OF
TIME BUT- IF YOU'RE IN A COUNTY
JAIL. OVERWHELMINGLY I DON'T
KNOW WHAT THE PERCENTAGE BY
VENTURE TO SAY IT PROBABLY OVER
90% OF THOSE IN THE COUNTY JAIL
ARE ARE CUTTING BACK. WELL TO
BE SURE TO. HELP OF THE
COMMUNITY. SO FOR US IN A
PROBABLY ALL AGREE MIGHT
PROVIDE A WHOLE. SOME TO
PREVENT THEM FROM GOING A
FACILITY BUT ONCE THEY'RE IN
FACILITY BECOME BACK OUT. AND
SIMPLY SAY WELL TOO BAD YOU
LOSE YOUR IN JAIL NOW SO YOU
DON'T GET ANY TREATMENT. THAT
SEEMS TO ME TO BE SHORTS. THANK
THANK YOU FOR THE SENATE OF AN
I DO THINK THEY ARE GETTING
SERVICES IN THE JAIL THIS
HANDSOME. GRAHAM WITHIN THE
JAILS I BUT- AND CERTAINLY WERE
ALL ON THE SAME PAGE OF TRYING
TO. MAKE SURE THAT THOSE THAT
NEED SERVICES. GET THE SERVICES
OF THANK YOU SENATOR THANK YOU.
THAT'S CORRECT. THANK YOU
SENATOR CAN YOU PLEASE- ADDRESS
ON MY COLLEAGUES GOT A QUESTION
IN TERMS OF ARE THESE TYPES OF
SERVICES AVAILABLE NOW IN THE
COUNTY JAIL WELL THEY VARY FROM
COUNTY TO COUNTY BUT YES THERE
CLEARLY SOME COUNTIES THAT ARE
PROVIDING MORE MENTAL SERVICE
OTHER NEXT A- TO COUNTY IS THE-
ADEQUATE SERVICE WITH ADEQUATE
RE THEY NEED NOT. OKAY IN. THEY
PUT THE NAY THOSE THERE ARE
NONE OR AREN'T BEING USED
EFFECTIVELY THEY CAN WITHDRAW.
WELL I ASKED THE QUESTION
BECAUSE AND L. A. COUNTY IN
SPECIFICALLY IN THE CITY OF LOS
ANGELES- THAT I REPRESENT. ARE
MY CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR
COUNTY SHERIFF'S HAVE BEEN THAT
THE JAILS ARE INCREDIBLY OVER
POPULATED. THERE IS A LOT OF
NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE-
AND THE DEPUTY SHERIFFS DO NOT
HAVE TO BE. THE SOURCES THE
TRAINING THE RULES. TO DEAL AND
MANAGE. A LOT OF THE MENTAL
HEALTH BEHAVIORS THAT ARE
DESPERATELY NEEDING RESOURCES
SO I THINK THIS IS A AN AN
INNOVATIVE APPROACHES THAT AT
THE END OF THE DAY. IS BERMAN
LOW. AND WHAT ABOUT. AIR I
THINK A MINUTE BUT NINETEEN THE
MENTAL STRESS THE JUSTIN MEANT
BEHAVIORS AND GEN STRESS THAT
BOTH PEOPLE THAT ARE
INCARCERATED AS WELL AS THE
PEOPLE THAT WORK IN THE
FACILITIES ARE FACING IS VERY
REAL. AND SO I YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS TO THE FLOOR. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ANYONE ELSE.
WELL FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK.
WHAT. CAN I GET THE PARA
CONECTAR OTHER COMMENTED ON
COUNTY IT'S NOT ACTUALLY
ACTUALLY NOT THIS IS THE TIME
FOR THE FOR THE MEMBERS TO
DELIBERATE SO I APPRECIATE DO
YOU WANT TO PAY FOR THEIR BUT
THAT'S THAT TIME IS OVER NOW.
THANK YOU FOR THAT. I WAS THANK
YOU SKINNER AMBERG- SB SIX
SIXTY FIVE IS AN OUTSIDE THE
BOX IDEA. MAYBE NOT COMPLETELY
OUTSIDE THE BOX AND SOUNDS LIKE
IT'S BEING DONE IN OTHER PLACES
BUT BUT CERTAINLY- IT
ENCOURAGES. INNOVATIVE
APPROACHES TO IMPROVING THE
CONTINUITY AND QUALITY OF CARE
FOR CITIZENS WITH MENTAL
ILLNESS. IS NOT DEGRADE THE
JAIL TO BECOME THE STATE'S
MENTAL INSTITUTIONS PER PER
MENTAL HEALTH IN CITY REMAIN.
INDIVIDUALS WHO OFTEN GOING TO
JAILS HAVING NEVER RECEIVE THE
SERVICES IN THE OR I DON'T FEEL.
ONE HABIT TEABING COMMUNITY
BASED CARE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT
THERE ISN'T A SMOOTH TRANSITION
A CARE PLAN TO THE- FAILURE
NUMBER TWO. WHEN PEOPLE ARE
RELEASED FROM JAIL. THERE'S
THERE ALSO MAY NOT BE A WARM
HAND OFF BACK TO COMMUNITY
BASED CARE. THIS RESULTS IN
PEOPLE DROPPING THROUGH THE
CRACKS AND OUT OF CARE ONLY TO
CYCLE THROUGH RETURNED TO JAIL
AT SOME POINT IN THEIR IN THEIR
FUTURE. WITHOUT EVER RECEIVING
THE NAVY THE NEEDY CARE THEY'RE
ENTITLED TO THAT'S FAILURE
NUMBER THREE. I HAVE TO BELIEVE
THERE'S A BETTER WAY. I AGREE
WITH YOU MR BURKE THAT IT'S
TIME FOR JAIL IN OUR COMMUNITY
BASED. HEALTH BAKER SERVICES TO
FOCUS NOT ON THIS THIS SYSTEM
OVER. OVER THE OTHER OR WHO
CONTROLS THE MONEY. BUT TO
INSTEAD FOCUS ON COORDINATED.
WHILE. JUST ONE MORE THING
TONIGHT. ONE OKAY. ADD ME BACK
UP TO THAT SENSOR. APPARENTLY
IT WAS A REAL SHOCKER- I HAVE
TO BELIEVE THERE'S A BETTER WAY
I AGREE WITH YOU THAT IT'S TIME
FOR A JAILER COMMUNITY BASED
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES TO
FOCUS NOT ON THE SYSTEM OVER
THE- OR WHO CAN. THAT FOCUS ON
COORDINATED EFFORTS TO ENSURE
THAT PEOPLE IN THE NEED OF CARE
ARE RECEIVING THE CARE THEY ARE
ENTITLED TO FROM THE COMMUNITY
REGARDLESS OF THEIR LOCATION
WITH COMMUNITY. SB SIX SIXTY
FIVE IS A NARROWLY FOCUSED
PILOT PROJECT. THAT PROHIBITS
SUPPLANTING WHICH YOU POINTED

OTHER FUNDING SOURCES IT LIMITS
IS THE FUNDS TO BE USED TO
THOSE THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY
ALLOCATED FOR THE INNOVATION

HAHAHA SORRY. PLEASE PLEASE
PROCEED WITH THAT SB EIGHT
FIFTY FIVE. OKAY I THANK YOU-
MRS HERE FIRST I WANT TO. I
THANK THE CHAIR AND ALSO THE
COMMITTEE STAFFER WORKING ON
VERY HARD WITH US- ON THIS-
BILL- AND WE- WILL BE. MAKING
THE- AUTHOR AMENDMENTS ARE
CONTAINED IN OUR SERVICE- THERE
ARE NO COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE
ALL THE ROOMS. WE WILL BE
MAKING UP EXCEPT. ARE WE WILL
NOT BE- REMOVING THE DEFINITION
OF MEDICAL NECESSITY AFTER
DIALOGUE WE DECIDED. NT TO DO
THAT OUR GOVERNMENT THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR. WORKING WITH US.
ALSO GOING TO. CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THE COMMITTEE. I'M WITH
PARMA MANAGE HEALTHCARE. ON THE
OUT OF NETWORK PROVISIONS IN
THE BILL FURTHER REFINING THAT.
MEASURE ACCOMPLISHING OUR- OUR
GOAL. I'M CALLING. TO SB FIFTY
FIVE. I THANK YOU VERY VERY
SIMPLE EVERY. I HEALTH
INSURANCE. TO COVER ALL
MEDICALLY NECESSARY TREATMENT
FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND
ADDICTION. THAT YOU MIGHT ASK
YOURSELF WHY DOES NOT REQUIRE A
BILL- IT'S SORT OF COMMON SENSE
OF A DOCTOR UNDER PREVAILING
STANDARDS. SAYS THAT YOU NEED
THIS TREATMENT FOR YOUR MENTAL
HEALTH OR ADDICTION THIS ORDER.
ARE YOU SHOULD BE COVERED FOR
UNFORTUNATELY OUR INSURANCE
COMPANIES ARE VERY FREQUENTLY
REFUSING TO COVER. ANY KIND OF.
EARLY INTERVENTION OR BASIC
CARE FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND
ADDICTION. ARE ONLY COVERING
PEOPLE IF THEY ARE ALREADY A
CRISIS. THEY'RE ALREADY GOING
TO THE SITE EMERGENCY ROOM
THEY'VE ALREADY LOST THEIR JOBS
AND THEIR HOUSING THEY'RE
ALREADY SO IT'S DETERIORATED. I
DO TOO. OKAY CHEN. THEN THEY
ONLY OFF COVERED FIRST TERM.
OCT CARE TO GET THEM STATE
AGAIN AND THEN THE COVERAGE AND-
SHOULD BE THE SAME AS SAYING.
WHAT WE KNOW YOU WERE JUST
DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE ONE
CANCER. COME BACK AND SEE US
WHEN YOU'RE A STAGE FOR AND
WILL COVER YOU THAT. WE WOULD
NEVER EVER IN A HUNDRED YEARS
TOLERATE THAT. AND YET WE HAVE
TOLERATED THIS FOR MENTAL
HEALTH. CONDITION AND WE HAVE A
CONCEPT OF PARITY AND THE US
AND IN CALIFORNIA THAT MENTAL
HEALTH TREATMENT MENTAL HEALTH
AFFLICTIONS. ARE DIFFERENT THAN
PHYSICAL ILLNESSES AND WE
SHOULD TREAT THEM THE SAME WE
HAVE A TERRIBLE CRISIS IN THIS
COUNTRY WE HAVEN'T. DONE ENOUGH.
CALIFORNIA'S MENTAL HEALTH
PARITY LAW IS. INSUFFICIENT IT
LEAVES OUT SOME OF THE MOST
COMMON AND SEVERE MENTAL HEALTH
CONDITIONS THE CURRENT PARITY
LAW DOES NOT REQUIRE INSURANCE
COMPANIES TO COVER PTSD
TREATMENT OR TREATMENT FOR
GENERALIZED ANXIETY DISORDER OR
FOR A NEW OR USED DISORDER OR
ALCOHOL USE DISORDER BINGE
EATING DISORDER. FOUR MAJOR NEW
AUGMENTED THE ORDER DO
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. THESE
ARE SEVERE CONDITIONS AND YOUR
CURRENT LAW DOESN'T REQUIRE
THAT AND TO BE CARP. BECAUSE
HELP IS FOR PRIVATE HEALTH
INSURANCE IS OFTEN SO LIMITED
AND WHAT IT WILL COVER FOR
MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION
CARE. WE SEE PEOPLE IN THERE
WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS THE
OTHER DAY. CANCEL THE INSURANCE
COVERAGE AND SIGNED UP FOR MEDI
CAL. BECAUSE MEDIC CAL WAXAY
COVERAGE SO THE TAXPAYERS ARE
LEFT HOLDING THE BAG.
COLLEAGUES WE HAVE BEFORE
COVERED WE HAD A CRISIS AROUND
MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION IN
CALIFORNIA AND IT'S ONLY
GETTING WORSE- AND WE SEE IT
HAPPENING EVERY DAY INCREASES
IN OVERDOSE- JUST GROWING
MENTAL PROBLEMS THIS BILL WILL
HAVE. PEOPLE COVERAGE AND I

TO THE TRAUMA INFLICTED BY COKE
IT'S NINETEEN. SB EIGHT FIVE
FIVE HELLO THIS MAJOR GAP IN
CALIFORNIA LAW THAT ALLOW
INSURERS TO DENY COVERAGE FOR
MENTAL HEALTH CARE WITH
IMPUNITY. CURRENTLY THE
CALIFORNIA MENTAL HEALTH PARITY
ACT APPLIES ONLY NINE MENTAL
ILLNESSES AND EMOTIONAL
DISTURBANCES OF A CHILD. THIS
IS INDEFENSIBLE GIVEN THE
PREVALENCE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE
POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER
AND COUNTLESS OTHER TREATABLE
DISORDERS INTO MINE. IT IS ALSO
INDISPENSABLE THE CALIFORNIA
LAW LACK THE UNIFORM DEFINITION
OF MEDICAL NECESSITY AND DOES
NOT MANDATE THAT INSURANCE MAKE
COVERAGE DETERMINATIONS THAT
ARE CONSISTENT BUT GENERALLY
ACCEPTED STANDARDS OF CARE. AS
A RESULT OF THE GAPING HOLE
CALIFORNIANS ARE ROUTINELY
DENIED AFTER MEDICALLY
NECESSARY MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES. ENSURE THAT
PRIORITIZE PROFITS OVER CARE.
SB EIGHT FIVE FIVE REQUIRED
INSURERS TO MAKE COVERAGE
DETERMINATIONS PURSUANT TO
GENERALLY ACCEPTED STANDARDS OF

GOING TO BE NICK LOUISA'S AND
PRESTON YOUNG. THANK YOU BYE
BYE. GREAT THANK THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR NICKEL WINDOWS
WITH THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
OF HEALTH PLANS WELL WE'VE
TAKEN AN OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
POSITION ON SB EIGHT FIVE HAVE
GENERALLY OPPOSES MANDATE BILLS
BECAUSE THE INCREASE THE COST
OF CARE FOR INDIVIDUALS
FAMILIES AND EMPLOYERS. HAVING
SAID THIS WE ARE TAKING THE
RARE STEP OF OFFERING
AMENDMENTS TO A MANDATE BILL
SPECIFIC EIGHT FIVE THAT RETAIN
THE FUNDAMENTAL GOAL OF
EXPANDING COVERAGE TO INCLUDE
ALL WILL HELP SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDERS. WE'RE ABLE TO DO
THIS BECAUSE THE UNDERLYING
MANDY CREATED BY THIS BILL. IS
IT REALLY THE PRIMARY ISSUE FOR
OUR MEMBERS- DESPITE SOME OF
THE ARGUMENTS YOU'RE HEARING
FROM THE OFFERING THE
SUPPORTERS OF THIS BILL. BERMAN
HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDERS BASICALLY UNIVERSAL
IN CALIFORNIA. ACCORDING TO THE
INDEPENDENT ANALYSIS OF SB
EIGHT FIFTY FIVE. NINETY NINE
POINT 8% OF ENROLLEES IN
CALIFORNIA ALREADY HAVE
COVERAGE FOR THE SERVICES
OUTLINED IN THIS BILL. AT
PARITY WITH OTHER MEDICAL
CONDITIONS. TAKING THAT INTO
ACCOUNT- OUR OBJECTIONS REALLY
OUR FOCUS ON THE CERES A
FUNDAMENTAL AND PRECEDENT
SETTING POLICY CHANGES THAT ARE
INCLUDED IN THIS MEASURE- AS WE
PROVIDED THE AUTHOR WITH
AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD MITIGATE
THE NEGATIVE QUALITY OF CARE
AND COST IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
MEASURE. IN WITH YOU TENSION OF
ONE AMENDMENT TO ONE PARAGRAPH
OF THE BILL ON WHICH WE DO
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR HAS
REGRETTABLY TAKEN ALMOST NO
SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED EITHER BY
THE ENTITY THAT WILL IMPLEMENT
THIS BILL. FOR THE STATE
REGULATOR THAT ONE FOR IT. SO
WE'RE LEFT WITH THE SERIOUSLY
FLAWED BILL. THAT IS LARGELY
PREMISED ON A FEDERAL COURT
CASE- THAT IS FAR FROM FINAL IT
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STATE
REGULATED OR LICENSED HEALTH
PLAN PRODUCTS. WE BELIEVE USING
THIS CASE IS NOT ONLY BAD
POLICY BUT A BILL TO THE
KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORK THE PLAN
REGULATORS IN CALIFORNIA. ARE
ACCOMPLISHING ON THIS ISSUE.
BUT THE BILL ALSO WISELY FUN
WISELY. ME ATTEMPTS TO CODIFY
DEFINITION OF MEDICAL NECESSITY
FOR A SUBSET OF SERVICES.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT PLAN
CRITERIA IS ALREADY SUBMITTED
TO STATE REGULATORS FOR REVIEW
AND APPROVAL. THIS DEFINITION
WOULD WOULD CREATE CONFUSION
AND DISPARITY I MUST BE
REMOVED- INITIALLY IT APPEARED
THAT THE AUTHOR WAS REMOVING
THIS DEFINITION AS INDICATED IN
YOUR ANALYSIS BUT APPARENTLY
THINGS HAVE CHANGED- THE BILL
ALSO SHIFT COSTS SHIPS COSTS
AWAY FROM PUBLIC PROGRAMS IN ON
TO EMPLOYERS AND INDIVIDUALS IN
THE COMMERCIAL MARKET- IT DOES
NOT DEFINITIVELY STATE THAT
PROVIDERS AND THE RESIDENTIAL
TREATMENT. CENTERS DELIVER
THESE SERVICES MUST BE
LICENSED- INVESTIGATE THE USE
OF LEGITIMATE CHECKS AND
BALANCES TO COMBAT. THE
POTENTIAL FRAUD WASTE AND ABUSE
PARTICULARLY IN THE SUBSTANCE
USE DISORDER TREATMENT SPACE
CALIFORNIA'S HEALTH PLANS ARE
DEDICATED TO DELIVERING THE
SERVICES- WE KNOW THEY'RE A
LONG TERM CHALLENGES BUT WE
MUST DEAL WITH THEM
COLLECTIVELY. ON AND USING GOOD
EVIDENCE AND ENTER THAT POINT
YOU KNOW I WOULD I WOULD LIKE
TO ADDRESS. THE CALMATTERS
ARTICLE THAT CAME UP IN THE
AUTHOR'S STATEMENT- YOU KNOW WE
ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY EXISTING
DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE THAT
PATIENTS ARE BETTER SERVED BY
COUNTY RUN MENTAL HEALTH
AGENCIES. OF I DIDN'T THINK. IS
TREND REALLY HAPPENING. THE
RUBIO BE ARCTIC CITES THE-
STATISTIC. ABOUT THE FROM. OF
DROPPING COMMERCIAL COVERAGE IN
GOING TO CAO A PROGRAM.
ACTUALLY SO THERE'S NO EVIDENCE
FOR THAT- AND WE BELIEVE IT'S
RECKLESS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
DROP THEIR PRIVATE COVERAGE TO
SEEK COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES BECAUSE- THERE ARE SO
MANY OTHER MEDICAL SERVICES
THAT THEY WOULD LOSE. ON IN
THAT PROCESS SO- WE DON'T USE
ANY EVIDENCE FOR THE USE THAT
ARTICLE- IN ANY CASE- WE'VE
OFFERED AMENDMENTS TO THIS BILL.
THERE ARE TWO. AREA BUT THE
BILL MAY IS THAT ISSUE ALL A
MATTER MISS THE MARK INCREASE
AND CONSEQUENCE. FOR THESE
REASONS CAP MUSTERS OPPOSE EACH
FIFTY FIVE UNLESS IT IS.
AMENDED THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- PRESTON YOUNG. YES
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESS TWO
YOUNG FROM THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THAT WE
ARE OPPOSED TO SB FIFTY FIVE
THE OVERARCHING CONCERN WE HAVE
AND THE REASON FOR THE
OPPOSITION IS THE FACT THAT
THIS BENEFIT MANDATE AND THE
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THAT. ARE GOING TO BE
PASSED ON TO THE INSURED
POPULATION IN CALIFORNIA
CORRECT EARLY EMPLOYERS AND
EMPLOYEES AND ACCORDING TO THE
TRIP URBAN ALICE'S I THINK THE
PREMIUM INCREASE THAT WERE
LOOKING OUT WITH SB FIFTY FIVE
WOULD BE OVER A MILLION DOLLARS
NOW. AND IT IS LIKE BEING
COVERED POLY CAME OUT WITH AN
ANALYSIS WITH THE ANTICIPATED
PREMIUM WRAPPING ANYWAY 44% IN
TWO THOUSAND TWENTY ONE DUE TO
THE UNANTICIPATED COVERT
RELATED CAR EVER EXPERIENCED.
THIS YEAR. FOR NOW THE LATER ON
IN. PREMIUM ON OF WHAT CONTENT
GET 40% THINK IN PRE TO THE
TWENTY ONE. IT'S GOING FROM A
DIFFICULT SITUATION AND IT'S
MAKING IT THAT MUCH MORE AND
MANAGEABLE SO. WHEN WE'RE
HAVING THIS THIS SURROUNDING
HEALTH IN THE CARE TO BE
PERCENT USE DISORDER IT IS A
LEGITIMATE CONVERSATION TO BE
SURE. BUT IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT
TO KEEP IN MIND THE FULL
PICTURE HERE. AND UNDERSTAND
HOW IT IS WE'RE GETTING TO THE
POINT THAT THAT MENTAL HEALTH
AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
TREATMENT IS GONNA BE PAID FOR
RENTERS SO IT'S FOR THESE
REASONS WE OPPOSE THAT SPEED
FIFTY FIVE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

OF SENATOR WIENER. THE MISS
WALDRON. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
AS A MEMBER OF THE STANFORD
FIVE YEAR INITIATIVE ON
ADDICTION IN THE BRAIN WE HAVE
COME TO UNDERSTAND. THAT THERE
IS A VERY PHYSICAL READ FOR
ADDICTION AS WELL AS WE LOOK AT
MENTAL HEALTH IT ALSO INVOLVES
DIRECTLY PHYSICAL HEALTH. THIS
BILL MODERNIZES A- MUCH NEEDED
MODERNIZATION OF CALIFORNIA'S
MENTAL HEALTH PARITY ACT NO WE
LOOK AT THE FACT THAT ONE OF
THE LARGEST OBSTACLES. TO CARE
FOR MENTAL HEALTH IS THE LACK
OF PRIORITIZATION OF MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES IN PARITY WITH
PHYSICAL HEALTH. AND YOU KNOW
IN IT AND WHEN YU ADD IN
STIGMA TO THAT THE NEW GOT THIS
THIS WHOLE- A PROBLEM WHERE
ABOUT 50% JUST UNDER 50% OF THE
PEOPLE WITH MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES ARE NOT GETTING
TREATMENT WE LOOK AT ALSO THE
NUMBER OF EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS
ANNUALLY AVERAGE FOUR POINT
EIGHT MILLION FOR MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES. THE NUMBER OF VISITS TO
PHYSICIANS OFFICES WITH MENTAL
HEALTH MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL
DISORDER FIFTY SIX POINT EIGHT
MILLION ANNUALLY THIS IS
ALREADY A BIG COST TO OUR
HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. WHEN ARE WE
LOOK AT OUR- MENTAL HEALTH AND
PHYSICAL HEALTH ARE INTRICATELY
BOUND TOGETHER ACCORDING TO THE
CDC. MENTAL ILLNESS AND WE JUST
TAKE FOR EXAMPLE DEPRESSION-
CAN INCREASE THE RISK FOR MANY
PHYSICAL HEALTH PROBLEMS.
ESPECIALLY LONG LASTING ONES
LIKE STROKE TYPE TWO DOVER
DAVIES AND HEART DISEASE AND
SIMILARLY- THE REVERSE IS TRUE
THE PRESENCE OF HEALTH CARE OF
CHRONIC CONDITIONS CAN INCREASE
THE RISK FOR MENTAL ILLNESS. SO
THIS AS I SAID IT'S ALREADY A
BIG COST IN OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM WE CAN INCREASE I THINK
THE RATE OF TREATMENT IF WE FOR
ONCE DURING MENTAL HEALTH. ARE
TREATMENT INTO PARITY WITH
PHYSICAL HEALTH. SO IT NEEDS TO
GET THERE AND- WE RECOGNIZE
THAT WE NEEDED TO DO THAT FOR A
LONG TIME I REGION I WILL.

COMMUNITY WE DON'T KNOW IF AND
WHEN THERE ARE OUTBREAKS IN THE
LGBTQ COMMUNITY AND ANY OF YOUR
DISTRICTS OR ANYWHERE IN OUR
STATE. IN RECENT MONTHS THERE'S
THAT INVALUABLE REPORTING ON
FATALITY RECORDS WITHIN
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR SOMETIMES
THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN AMONG
THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IT MAY.
BEING USED OUT. BY TWEET LATIN
THAT MEANS AND WE ONLY HAVE
THAT BECAUSE THE CRITICAL DATA

RESPONDED OUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS
NOT JUST TO PROTECT PUBLIC
HEALTH GENERALLY BUT TO ATTACK
THE VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES LIKE
