SEVENTEEN THE STATE LEGISLATURE
UNDER- ASSEMBLY MAN CUSTANCE
LEADERSHIP PASSED THE BREAKING
BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT
INITIATIVE. SPECIFICALLY CAN
IMPROVE ACCESS TO THE
INVESTMENT THAT THE STATE WAS
MAKING ANCHOR TECHNICAL
EDUCATION THE UNFORTUNATE
REALITY IS THAT THERE ARE

COMMERCE WE ARE RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSED EIGHTY NINETY FIVE AS A
JOBKILLER. WE HAVE ALL
SUFFERED THE LOSS OF A LOVED
ONE THAT REQUIRES TIME AWAY
FROM WORK IN POOR COMMUNITIES
UNDERSTANDING OF THAT AND MANY
EMPLOYERS ARE READY TO PROVIDE
EMPLOYEES. WITH THAT LEAVES
MANY EMPLOYERS HAVE VOLUNTARY
FREQUENTLY POLICIES AND EVEN IF
THERE'S NO FORMAL WRITTEN
POLICIES MOST EMPLOYERS WILL
GLADLY PROVIDE EMPLOYEES WITH
THE KIND OF CRAZY. THEY'RE ALSO
COMBINATIONS AVAILABLE AND
UNFAIR EMPLOYMENT HOUSING ACT
PRETTY MENTAL HEALTH RELATED
TRAUMA RESULTING IN A
DISABILITY OUR CONCERN AT THIS

ANOTHER INFLEXIBLE THREE TO TEN
DAY LEAD MANDATE PATTERSON
FORCIBLE PROPRIETOR RIGHT OF

OF ALL SIZES ARE DOING THEIR
BEST AT THIS MOMENT TO KEEP
OPERATIONS RUNNING AND AVOID
ADDITIONAL LAYOFFS THE STRUGGLE
TO KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN THE
NUMBER OF BELIEVES THAT

HAS GROWN SIGNIFICANTLY IN THE
PAST YEAR. INCLUDING TWO ROUNDS
OF SUPPLEMENTAL COVER
NINETEENTH EIGHT SICK LEAVE
PAID LEAVE UNDER THE CALLOUS AT
REGENCY STANDARD THE EXPANSION
OF SECRETIVE SMALL BUSINESSES
BUT THE EXPANSION OF FAMILY

THE FOURTEENTH ARE IN ADDITION
TO ALL OF THE OTHER LEAVE
PROVISIONS AS WELL AS
ACCOMMODATION REQUIREMENTS
UNDER THE FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND
HOUSING ACT WALL OF WHEN YOU

AND ISOLATION THAT THE QUALITY
OF THESE OBLIGATIONS HAS BECOME

COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR
EMPLOYERS TRYING TO FIND

LITTLE CALIFORNIA FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION IN OPPOSITION THANK
YOU THANK YOU. WHAT'S BEEN. THE
COMMITTEE ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS A SUMMER GONZALEZ.
BUILDING MOVED I'M OF THE BILL-
I'M GONNA SUPPORT THIS I AM
CONCERNED ABOUT ONE THING AND
THAT IS THAT WE ARE NOW
CREATING AN CODE OVER AND OVER
AGAIN A DIFFERENCE OF RIGHTS
WHETHER YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE
WORKING FOR SOMEBODY WHO HAS
TWENTY FOUR EMPLOYEES OR TWENTY
SIX RIGHT THAT THE EXTREME
DIFFERENCES YOU YOU HAVE A
DIFFERENT MINIMUM WAGE- YOU
KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR WORD. LEAVE
POLICIES AND WORK WORK WORK
CONTINUING DOWN THAT PATH AND I
JUST. THINK I WOULD LIKE TO SEE
IN THE FUTURE THAT WE COME UP
WITH A REASONABLE NUMBER THAT-
IT'S- IT'S A NEED FOR THE
EMPLOYEE ABSOLUTELY BUT YOU
HAVE THAT NEED. TO TRULY BRAVE
WHETHER. YOU WORK FOR A SMALL
BUSINESS OR LARGE BUSINESS SO
IF THERE'S A WAY TO- PROVIDE
CARE IT SIR IT'S SOME SORT OF
INCENTIVE OUR HELP THE SMALL
BUSINESSES COMPLY. WITH WHAT I
THINK IS A VERY REASONABLE
STANDARD AYE I WOULD MUCH
RATHER HAVE THAT APPROACH IT'S
JUST- I I'M REALLY WORRIED
ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING ON THIS-
THE DIFFERENCE IT IN THE WAY
THAT WE'RE TREATING WORKERS
DEPENDING ON. THE SIZE OF THEIR
EMPLOYEES SO THAT'S ALL I WILL
OF COURSE BUT FOR TODAY. THANK
YOU IS THERE IS THERE A SECOND.
OKAY BUT A SERVER SETUP THANK
YOU. SO I HAVE A COUPLE
QUESTIONS FOR YOU I AM REALLY
STRUGGLE WITH THESE AS A PERSON
AT WORK IN PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT
FOR THIRTY FIVE YEARS AS A
MEMBER OF THE UNION. DUES
PAYING UNION MEMBER- TEN DAYS.
WHAT WHAT WHAT HAPPENS IN TEN
DAYS. FOR ME WHY TEN DAYS WHY
NOT TWO WEEKS OR THREE WEEKS.
IF THAT IS THAT YOUR PREFERENCE
IS IT NO I'M JUST CURIOUS. I'M
CURIOUS WHAT WHAT THE TEN DAYS
WAS ABOUT HER WELL. AS A
MEDICAL THING THAT SAYS IN TEN
DAYS YOU'RE OVER IT BECAUSE AS
WE HEARD FROM ONE OF THE
WITNESSES. SHE'S NOT OVER IT I
KNOW WHEN MY DAD LOST MY MOM
AND I WAS TEN HE WAS A TEACHER-
HE NEVER GOT OVER THAT- YOU
KNOW HE HE HAD TO TAKE HE TOOK
THE NEXT WEEK OFF. BUT IT YEAH
I I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS WHY
WHY TEN DAYS YEAH BUT IT GETS
TO THAT OF A SPECIFICALLY THAT
OF AMOUNT OF TWO WEEKS- AND AS
YOU CAN APPRECIATE THEM AS A
REST CHAIR OF THE BUSINESS A
PROFESSION COMMITTEE WHICH
WE'VE OVERSEEING DEPARTMENT
CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND AS YOU
KNOW DURING THE CALL WE'VE HAD
BEEN EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT
FUNERAL HOMES WERE OVERLOADED
AND DID NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY
SELDOM EVEN WHEN SOMEONE PASSES
WE DON'T JUST HAVE THE
FLEXIBILITY DROP EVERYTHING
MANY LIFE CHALLENGES AS YOU ALL
KNOW AS I'M SURE SO IT'S JUST
AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP PROVIDE.
SOME TYPE OF ACCOMMODATION FOR
THE INDIVIDUALS GIVEN ALL THE
DIFFERENT LIFE CHANGES AS YOU
ALSO KNOW AS YOU'VE EVER READ
THE BILL THERE'S ALSO A SMALL
BUSINESS- OF LANGUAGE IN THERE
THAT ON THE TWENTY FIVE
EMPLOYEES AT ITS THREE DAYS
AGAIN THIS IS UNPAID RIGHT I
UNDERSTAND THE UNPAID PART BUT
THE OTHER PART OF THAT IS THE
LAWSUIT THAT FOLLOWS IF THEY
AREN'T GRANTED THAT UNPAID
LEAVE THE OTHER QUESTION I SAW
PEOPLE SNICKERING. ABOUT IT BUT
THE CFRA. WHY CAN IT BE FOLDER
INTO THAT BECAUSE THAT DOES
COVER A LOT I'VE HAD EMPLOYEES
CALL UP AND- THEN ASK. HEY THIS
IS HAPPENING SOMEBODY DIED. AND
WE JUST WOULD TACK ON WHATEVER
IT IS HEY USE THIS USE THIS AND
USE THIS YOU'RE GOOD TO GO.
FIRED BY DOING OUT ALLOW THE
EMPLOYERS. TO DO THAT- BECAUSE
THEY ARE- THEY HAVE THAT
ABILITY TO DO THAT YEAH. A
COUPLE OF DISTINCTIONS HAVE
AFFECTED DEBT THROUGH THE
CHAIR. IT MIND- TO QUALIFY
UNDER THE SPECIFIC AKKA WORKER
MUST BE EMPLOYED FOR AT LEAST
ONE YEAR. SO IN IN IT IF OF
WANTED EMPLOYEES ALL TWELVE
WEEKS AS WELL. OF THE RELIEF
THEY ARE OUT OF LUCK SO FOR
EXAMPLE IF A PARENT IS ALL OF
THEIR BENEFITS FOR MATERNITY OR
PATERNITY LEAVE. THEN THEY HAVE
NO RECOURSE IN CASE THAT MIGHT
BE A DEATH OF A CHILD OR FAMILY
MEMBER SO AGAIN I THINK THOSE
ARE TWO DISTINCTIONS AS TO WHY
THAT. THE NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
OF SICK LEAVE AVAILABLE TO
THEM. VACATION TIME AVAILABLE
TO THEM. THEY HAVE ALL THESE
DIFFERENT LEAVES AND- HELLO IN
IN IN SOME BUSINESSES. WHEN YOU
TAKE LEAVE AND YOU HAVE TO
EITHER HIRE SOMEBODY AND PAY
THEM TIME AND A HALF TO COMMAND
WHICH COSTS BY THE WAY PUBLIC
AND THAT THE CLASS WHEN WE SAY
PUBLIC EMPLOYERS ARCHITECT THAT
TAXPAYERS THE COST THEM
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. TO COVER THAT I THINK
L. A. COUNTY ALONE WAS UPWARDS
OF A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS-
SO THERE IS A THERE IS A COST
TO THAT NOT COST. FOR PRIVATE
BUSINESSES. IS ABSORBED EITHER
BY CUSTOMERS OR OR BY THE
PRIVATE BUSINESS SO- YOU KNOW
THOSE THOSE ARE BIG CONCERNS
FOR ME. ANY OF THESE I THINK IT
SHOULD BE I THINK YOU SHOULD
WORK TO FOLD IT INTO CFRA- I
CAN'T SEE ADDING ANOTHER LAYER.
OF LEAD TIME- ESPECIALLY FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES. THERE'S A
REASON MY WIFE'S BUSINESS NEVER
EXPANDED BEYOND HER YEAH SHE
COULD PROBABLY BE EMPLOYING TEN
TO FIFTEEN PEOPLE NOW IF YOU
WANTED AND HAD GROWN HER TAX
BUSINESS. BUT SHE WON'T NEED
THESE TYPE OF THINGS ARE THE
REASON WHY. SO THAT'S WHY I'M
GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME
SPORTING THANK YOU THANK YOU
FOR ADDRESSING THE ISSUE AND
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING MY
QUESTIONS AND I APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU I'M NOT SURE THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR HER. I THINK
MY ISSUES ARE. SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT LIKE I DON'T ACTUALLY
HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE PART OF THIS
AND- I THINK IT IS- VOTER SOME
FOR THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. AND
I DO UNDERSTAND IS ONLY WOMAN'S
CONCERNS ABOUT THE OTHER THE
SIZE OF THE BUSINESS AND YOU
KNOW IT WHAT TRIGGERS THAT
WHETHER YOU GET TEN DAYS OR
THREE DAYS- BECAUSE IF YOU.
HAVE YOU KNOW. ELEVEN EMPLOYEES
OR TWENTY SIX EMPLOYEES ARE
STILL IN THE SAME- SIZE OF
EMPLOYER. MY ISSUE IS WITH THE
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION PART OF
THIS- FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS
WE'VE SEEN. THIS BUSINESS
COMMUNITY M. IN MY OPINION JUST
MY HUMBLE OPINION. COME UNDER
ATTACK- FROM. QUITE FRANKLY
PREDATORY LAWSUITS I'M IN A LOT
OF WAYS NOT SO MAYBE DESERVED
SOME OF THEM- I THINK OR NOT.
SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
WHEN IT TALKS ABOUT LIKE WE
MAIN STREET- COMING THROUGH
COVERT IN THE DEVASTATIONS
HAPPEN TO MAIN STREET. SOME OF
THESE BUSINESSES THE MOM AND
POPS THE BAKERY THEY MAY NOT
KNOW OF ALL THESE NEW LAWS.
THAT ARE DROPPED ON OUR YOU
KNOW. I JUST DROPPED OUR LAP
EVERY SINGLE YEAR. BUT THE
ATTORNEYS DO. THAT'S WHAT THEY
DO. IT'S THEIR JOB TO DO THIS
RIGHT. IT'S HOW THEY MAKE THEIR
LIVING AND SO WHEN WE HAVE
THESE LAWSUITS THEIR OPTION IS
TO FIGHT IT AND PAY TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND OR
SETTLE FOR SMALLER. AND I AND I
DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THAT AND
SO. I'M NOT REALLY ASKING IS
MORE OF A STATEMENT- AND JUST
KIND OF ALWAYS MY CONCERNS-
IT'S NOT THE BREED APART OF
THIS QUITE FRANKLY IT IS THAT
PRIVATE RIGHT OF ACTION AND
WHAT WE ARE CONTINUING THAT
THAT. THAT WEIGHT THAT WE PUT
ON THAT AND RELEASED THE SMALL
BUSINESS MAIN STREET COMMUNITY
THAT I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT MAY GET CAUGHT UP IN
THIS. SIMPLY NOT KNOWING SO
APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THANK YOU.
THANK YOU OF THE GULF YOUR
COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS AND I
APPRECIATE- SOME ALONE REALLY
BRING THIS FORWARD AGAIN I
THINK THAT. SINCE YOU LAST
BROUGHT IT IS EVEN MORE.
RELEVANT I THINK HIS VISCERAL
WELL HE'S SEEN. OVER THE PAST
YEAR AND LOOKING AT SOME. OF
THE ARGUMENTS IN OPPOSITION-
LISTING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
LEADER AVAILABLE MEAN BOATING
LEAVE FOR TWO HOURS YOU KNOW
BUT- THE WHAT I JUST FIND IT.
MENTIONED THE OREGON AND-
DONNER LEAVE FOR THIRTY DAYS
BECAUSE SOMEONE'S DONATING AN
ORGAN I THINK THAT YOU KNOW
THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE
JUST DON'T JUST THE RIGHT THING
TO DO. THIS IS ON PAID LEAVE AS
YOU'VE STATED SEVERAL TIMES
APPROPRIATELY SO- AND I THINK
THAT YEAH I DON'T KNOW MAYBE
WE'RE JUST LIVING IN DIFFERENT
WORLDS AND YOU HAVE MANY PEOPLE
DIED THIS PAST YEAR. I
APPRECIATE EVEN THOSE IN
OPPOSITION ON THE COMMITTEE
RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR MORE
FREQUENTLY BUT I THINK BOTH YOU
EXPRESSED- OF THE GENERAL
SUPPORT FOR THE CONCEPT AT
LEAST HAVING. THE ABILITY TO
HAVE BEREAVEMENT AND I THINK
THAT IF THIS LAST YEAR HASN'T
AT LEAST TAUGHT US THAT MUCH TO
ALLOW THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS
TO TAKE TO TAKE CARE WHEN THEY
NEED TO TAKE CARE OF ONE.
ANOTHER PASSED AWAY AND I THINK
THAT- AGAIN WE'RE JUST SEEING
VERY DIFFERENT THINGS- DURING
THE COURSE OF THIS PANDEMIC AND
SELF I APPRECIATE YOU A SIMILAR
BRING THIS FORWARD WE DO HAVE A
MOTION BY SUMMER GONZALEZ.
SECONDED BY SUMMER RADIUS AND
SO MADAM SECRETARY CAN OVERTAKE.
THE ROLL CALL VOTE. MOTION IS
DEEP TO A- KALRA. I KALRA I
FLORIDA. FLORA NOW GONZALEZ.

FOR THE MOTION THE SUMMER WAR
SECOND BY SUMMER GONZALEZ. YOU
MAY BE AS GREAT GIVE ME JUST
ARTS WE MAY PROCEED THANKS MUCH
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE. I'M HERE TO
PRESENT TO THIS BILL THAT- SIX
TO CREATE A ROAD MAP WITH
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT THROUGH
A PUBLIC DIALOGUE ON ONE OF THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGES THAT TO- WE
HAVE BEEN FACING AND THIS
LEGISLATURE. WHICH IS HOW DO WE
GET TO. THE AMBITIOUS GOALS TO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAVE
ESTABLISHED. IN TERMS OF-
CONTINUING OUR STATE'S
LEADERSHIP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST
CLIMATE CHANGE. CONTINUE TO
WORK TOWARD OUR GOALS OF
REACHING A 100% CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY
FIVE. YOU KNOW THE GOVERNOR'S
EXECUTIVE ORDER LAST YEAR TO
PHASE OUT. THE ESTATE SALES OF
ALL. FOSSIL FUEL POWERED CARS
AND TRUCKS BY TWENTY THIRTY
FIVE. YOU KNOW I THINK WE ALL
KNOW FROM OUR EXPERIENCE IS
THAT TO A LOT OF TIMES IT'S
EASIER TO SET GOALS AS HARD TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THERE.
AND SO THAT IS WHAT I'M
PROPOSING WITH THIS BILL- IT IS
A AUTHOR SPONSORED BILL I'VE
HAD. MANY CONVERSATIONS WITH-
YOU KNOW VERY INTERESTED
STAKEHOLDERS BUT GIVEN YOU KNOW.
THE POLITICALLY CHARGED NATURE
OF MANY OF THESE ISSUES OF THE
ORGANIZATION'S UNFORTUNATELY
HAVE BEEN RELUCTANT TO STEP
FORWARD TO YOU KNOW EITHER
SERVICE AS SPONSORS ALL OR AS
A- YOU KNOW EVEN A PUBLICLY
IDENTIFIED AS A SUPPORTING THIS
MEASURE.THIS IS BASED ON MY
EXPERIENCE- SEVEN YEARS IN THE
STATE LEGISLATURE. WHERE YOU
KNOW WHETHER IT'S TRYING TO
MAKE REFINERY SAFER- WHETHER
IT'S TRYING TO PROTECT OUR
COAST BY- BANNING OFFSHORE OIL
DRILLING. OUR WEATHER IS TRYING
TO PROTECT LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. WITH THE
OIL DRILLING SETBACKS. AND THAT
YOU KNOW CONSISTENTLY ONE OF
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES THAT I
FACE AND THAT MANY OF YOU HAVE
FACED IN THIS LEGISLATURE IS
HOW WE CAN. FIGHT CLIMATE
CHANGE WHILE AT THE SAME TIME
PROTECTING AND GROWING. GOOD TO
MIDDLE CLASS UNION JOBS- THE
WORKERS WHO ARE CURRENTLY
EMPLOYED IN THE FOSSIL FUEL
INDUSTRY. SO WE NEED A ROAD MAP
WITH STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED
LABOR ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE COMMUNITIES. THROUGH A
PUBLIC DIALOGUE SO THAT WE CAN.
ALL FIGURE OUT WE CAN ALL
PARTICIPATE IN THIS IMPORTANT
DIALOGUE AND HOW. WE ARE GOING
TO REACH OUR CLIMATE GOALS- AND
WHILE THE SAME TIME SUPPORTING
AND PROTECTING OUR WORKERS.

STATE- WILDFIRE SEASON LAST
YEAR- IT THERE. THERE IS A
DISCONTINUANCE OF UP YOU KNOW A
TREND THAT ARE WILDFIRES IN
GOVERNMENT BECOME MORE INTENSE
BECOME MORE DESTRUCTIVE AND
MORE DEADLY YOU KNOW A NEW
STUDY PUBLISHED LAST MONTH
FOUND THAT TINY PARTICLES
RELEASED IN WILDFIRE SMOKE. UP
TO TEN TIMES MORE HARMFUL TO
HUMANS- THEN- SO PARTICLES
RELEASED FROM OTHER SOURCES
SUCH AS CAR EXHAUST FACTORIES
AND SOME POWER PLANTS.
ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE STUDY'S
AUTHORS THE HEALTH IMPACTS TO
THE WILDFIRE SMOKE ARE ON THE
SAME ORDER OF MAGNITUDE. OR
POSSIBLY EVEN GREATER THAN THE
DIRECT PHYSICAL COST OF
WILDFIRE. AND IT DOESN'T TAKE
MUCH TO MEMBER THE WILDFIRES
FROM LAST YEAR WE HAD ORANGE
SKIES. AIR WAS FILLED WITH
CHOKING SMOKE. AND THE
RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR US TO
SHELTER INDOORS AND SO MOST OF
US HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE
AN AIR CONDITIONED ROOMS IN
WITH AIR PURIFIERS. FARMING
AGRICULTURE WORKERS. THEY WERE
MADE OUTDOORS IN SMOKY TOXIC-
SOME CONDITIONS AND FILLED IN
ORCHARDS. TO PICK CROPS THAT
HELP FEED CALIFORNIANS AND OUR
COUNTRY. IN OUT. UNFORTUNATELY
HERE CALIFORNIA AND DESPITE THE
FACT THAT WE HAVE A FIRST IN
THE NATION EMERGENCY STANDARD.
THAT REQUIRES EMPLOYERS TO
PROTECT WORKERS FROM WILDFIRE
SMOKE. MANY PHARMACEUTICAL
DRUGS TO GET THE WORKPLACE
PROTECTIONS THEY NEEDED- AND
SO. THEIR FIRST OBVIOUSLY THE
COMBINATION OF A GLOBAL
PANDEMIC AND PRESS THE NUMBER
OF WILDFIRES PUT ENORMOUS
STRAIN ON THE AVAILABILITY OF
ASA PP- AND SO WHAT THIS
LEGISLATION PROPOSES TO DO IS
THE BUILT ON COUCHES STANDARD.
AND SO WITH ME HERE- THIS
MORNING TO TESTIFY SUPPORTERS
ARE NON HERNANDEZ EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
FARMER FOUNDATION. AND MICHAEL
MILLER THE DIRECTOR OF
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS WITH THE

INCREASING WILDFIRE SEASON. IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. LAST
YEAR CFF DELIVER TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF N. NINETY FIVE.
MASK DURING THE WILD SEASON TO
FARMWORKERS. AFTER WORK SITE.
BECAUSE OF A SEVERE SHORTAGE OF
THE COVENANTING PANDEMIC. IF IT

GRAPE GROWERS APOLOGIZE WE DID

BASIS- WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF AB
SEVENTY THREE I WOULD LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH OFFICE
ADDRESS SOME ISSUES IN THE
WEEKS AHEAD- ESSENTIALLY WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN THE BELIEVE
REGULATION WAS APPROVED FOR
ABOUT PERSONAL PROTECTION- WE
LEGALLY NOTIFIED OUR GROWERS I
THINK EVERY AGRICULTURE
SITUATION STATES AT THE SAME.
ADVISE THEM TO STOCK UP AND
NINETY FIVE MASK- JUST TO BE
PREPARED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
THEM IN PLACE SHOULD THE WIRE
POSSIBLE PICKS POACHER. WHAT WE
WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR WITH
THE COMPANY TEAM THAT WAS THAT
OUR GOAL IS ALSO THE SAME TIME
WITH THE PROVIDING N. NINETY
FIVE MASKS TO HELP WORKERS TO
DEAL WITH THE LACK OF PP IN THE
MISTER CALL THAT SAID THAT WHEN
THE FIRES HAPPENED LATER IN THE

PASSAGE WORK AVAILABLE. THE
STATE'S SEPTEMBER STOCK- UP AND
IF I MAY ASK THAT THE BILL TO
THE AG COMMISSIONER. WHO THEN
WERE WITH THE- GROWERS TO GET
THE OUT TO THE- IN. AND THAT
WAS A GOOD HELP AND THAT IN THE
NEED BROWN AND IF I. WITH FIRST.
OPERATOR CALLED WORKER. THIS
BILL. A BILL ON THEM. AND MAKE
SURE THAT SHOULD BE. OR
SOMETHING COMES THAT THE ROAD
TO BE CAP IS MASK BILLABLE.
THIRTY THREE YOU WOULD THINK
THAT- THE PART OF WORKING
WITHOUT YEAH THE AUTHORIZED- WE
THINK THAT RECALLS A COMMISSION
IS A GOOD WAY TO CONTINUE THE
EFFORT- WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT. ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED
UNDER THIS BILL IS DUE SOLELY
FOR THE PURPOSES OF- IDENTIFIED
THE NEED FOR BASKET NOT EACH
OTHER PURPOSES. AND THEN WE
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE ANY
TRAINING MATERIALS. ARE
CONSISTENT WITH THE REGULATION
THAT WITHOUT THE BY THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH
STANDARDS BOARD. WE WANT TO BE
SURE THAT WE HAVE NO
INCONSISTENCIES BETWEEN.
INFORMATION PROVIDED UNDER THIS
BILL THIS IS INFORMATION
PROVIDED THAT THE REGULATION.
SO THAT THAT WE WORKERS HAVE
CLARITY ON WHAT THEY NEED TO DO
TO BE PROTECT SMOKE AND OUR
PLAYERS ALSO HAVE THE- THIRTY
BUT- BAITED AFFECTED WORKERS.

THANK YOU THERE ARE NO LINES IN
Q. THANK YOU AND WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO YES SERVICE. THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON
THIS THIS IS SUCH AN IMPORTANT
TOPIC I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
AS I UNDERSTAND THE EMPLOYERS
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE NUMBER
OF EMPLOYEES SO THAT THE N.
NINETY FIVE MASKS ARE MADE
AVAILABLE TO THEM. IF THEY
DON'T THEN THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR
THEM THEMSELVES. IS THAT
CORRECT. BUT MY MAIN QUESTION
IS. IF THEY DON'T THEY'RE NOT
REQUIRED TO IF THEY DON'T
PROVIDE THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES
THAT THEY HAVE WORKING FOR
THEM. THEN THE- BUT- AT THE
STATE CANNOT HAVE THE MASKS OF
STOCKPILE READY FOR THEM. HOW
DO WE ENSURE THAT THOSE WORKERS
WHOSE EMPLOYER DID NOT PROPERLY
GIVE THE NUMBER- OF EMPLOYEES.
HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THEY GET
MASKS. YEAH THAT'S A GREAT
QUESTION I THINK YOU KNOW
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW
WE HAVE ENGAGED WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS ALL OF OUR
STAKEHOLDERS WITHIN AGRICULTURE
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY- YOU KNOW
WHEN IT COMES TO LABOR NUMBERS
THEY FLUCTUATE BECAUSE A LOT OF
WORK IS SEASONAL- AND SO YOU
KNOW I THINK. YOU KNOW IF
THERE'S A WAY FOR US TO
SPECIFIED IN THIS LEGISLATION-
A WAY THAT WE CAN HAVE AN
ONGOING- ASSESSMENT OF THE
ACCOUNTING OF EMPLOYEES AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW
WE CERTAINLY WILL DO. THANK YOU.
THE OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS- I
REALLY APPRECIATE SEEING BRING
THIS FORWARD AND IS MANAGED BY
SOME OF THE- CALLERS YOUR
CONTINUED COMMITMENT. TO
FARMWORKERS AND TO ENSURE THAT
AS WE'VE SEEN EVEN BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC- THE IMAGES. SMOKE
FILLED AIR AND YOU HAVE
FARMWORKERS THEY'RE ALLOWING US
AGAIN TO STAY HOME AND BE FED
ANOTHER DOES PRODUCE IN THE
WORLD. AND YOUR COMMITMENT IS
CLEAR- I DON'T OFTEN JOINT
OUGHT TO BILLS ARE GONNA COME
FOR ME BUT I HAVE ON THIS ONE
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S THAT
IMPORTANT I ALSO KNOW AND
UNDERSTAND AND- TRUST IN YOUR
ABILITY TO WORK WITH THE
CONCERNS THAT IN BROUGHT
FORWARD. AGAIN WITH THE TO
ENSURE THAT EMPLOYERS ARE
MEETING THEIR OBLIGATION WHILE
THE SAME TIME FARMWORKERS AND
AGRICULTURAL WORKERS ARE
GETTING THE PROTECTION THEY
NEED AND SO- WITH THAT- WE DO
HAVE. A MOTION BY A SUMMER

OPPORTUNITY PRESENT AB THREE

SURE THAT ALL OF THE PROXIMALLY
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND TEMPORARY
VISA HOLDERS WHO COME TO
CALIFORNIA TO WORK AND RECEIVE
COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION AT THE
POINT OF RECRUITMENT PROTECTION
FROM WORD DOCUMENT DECEITFUL
PRACTICES OF THIRD PARTY LABOR
RECRUITERS WHO EXPORT
CONFORMABLE MIGRANT WORKERS
SEEKING. TO LAWFULLY ENTERED
THE UNITED STATES NOT TO
MENTION THE IMPACTS EXPERTS BY
LAW ABIDING PORTERS WHO CANNOT
COMPLETE WITH THESE UNFAIR
LABOR PRACTICES. DECEMBER BUT
WERE CORRECTED DRAFTING ERROR
MADE AN S. B. C. FOUR SEVEN
SEVEN STEINBERG IN TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN THAT CREATED THE FIRST
FRAMEWORK FOR COMPREHENSIVE
PROTECTIONS FOR TEMPORARY VISA
HOLDERS. AMONG ALL THE TYPES OF
VISAS THE H. TWO A.
PROPRIOCEPTIVE UP. IS THE
TEMPORARY VISA COVERED LINKED
TO THE LARGEST NUMBER OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING CASES IN THE UNITED
STATES. EIGHT TWENTY TWENTY
REPORT DEMONSTRATE THAT
FARMWORKERS THE LOWEST PAID
WORKERS WHO ARE CENTER FOR
KEEPING AMERICA'S. AMERICANS
FED DURING THE PANDEMIC ARE NOT
BEING PROTECTED EFFECTIVELY. AB
THREE SIXTY FOUR WOULD ENSURE
THAT THEY MUST ALSO COMPLY WITH
MANDATES THAT ARE TOTALLY
DIFFERENT FROM EXISTING LAWS
REGULATING FARM LABOR
CONTRACTORS. AND ONLY APPLY TO
THEM IF THEY RECRUIT WORKERS
FROM OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.
IMPORTS TO CONTRACT FOR THEIR
OWN H. TWO A. WORKERS WOULD NOT
BE SUBJECT TO THESE
REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE WITH ME
TODAY ON THE LINE STEPHANIE
RICHARD REPRESENTING THE
COALITION TO ABOLISH SLAVERY.
AND TRAFFICKING ALSO CALLING IN
IS THE VICTIM OF THE LABOR
PRACTICES ON THIS BILL WOULD
LIKE TO ADDRESS THANK YOU THANK
YOU VERY MUCH OF MY AND SO WE
HAVE TO WITNESSES. OF THE TWO
MINUTES EACH AND THE FIRST ONE
IS STEPPING RICHARD AND AFTER
THAT WE'LL HEAR FROM. ANGELA
GONZALEZ SO STEPHANIE IF YOU'RE
READY- FEEL FREE TO BEGIN. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME IS STEPHANIE
RICHARD NINE TESTIFYING TODAY
ON BEHALF OF THE COALITION TO
ABOLISH SLAVERY AND TRAFFICKING
CAST. CAST OF THE SPONSOR OF AB
T. SIX WHO ARE CATHOLIC THE
LARGEST LEGAL AND SOCIAL
SERVICE PROVIDER FOR
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS IN THE
UNITED STATES. BASED ON CASTE
AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
EXPERIENCE WITH WORKING WITH
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS WE LEARNED
THAT ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
PREVENT TRAFFICKING. BEFORE IT
STARTS IS TO LIMIT THE
FRAUDULENT PRACTICES OF THIRD
PARTY FOR MAJOR CONTRACTORS AT
THE TIME OF WORKER RECRUITMENT.
THE SHADOW AGENTS FORCE WORKERS
INTO DOUBT BY CHARGING THEM
EXORBITANT FEES FOR LEGAL WORK
VISAS. IN TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN
EC BEFORE SEVEN SEVEN WAS
PASSED WITHOUT ANY THIS
PROBLEM. AB THREE SIX FOUR IF
NECESSARY FOR THE SAME REASON
BUT SB PORT ON SOMEONE WITH AN
ACTIVE. DOCUMENT ANGRY THAN
WIDESPREAD ABUSE OF THE SYSTEM
INCLUDING HUMAN TRAFFICKING
TRAFFICKING OF THE DIFFICULT
CRIME TO PREVENT BUT TODAY WE
CAN PROTECT THESE VULNERABLE
WORKERS. MANY OF WHOM ARE
ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN
HARDEST HIT BY THE EPIDEMIC AND
CONTINUING NEGATIVE ECONOMIC
IMPACTS. SB FOUR SEVEN SEVEN
REQUIREMENTS AS CLARIFIED BY
EIGHTY THREE SIX FOUR ARE
ESSENTIAL FOR PROTECTING ALL
TEMPORARY WORKERS COMING TO
CALIFORNIA. MUCH OF THE DEBATE
AROUND EIGHTY THREE SIX FOUR
FOCUSES ON H. U. AGRICULTURAL
WORKERS ONLY ABOUT TWENTY
THOUSAND WORKERS BUT WE MUST
NOT LOSE SIGHT OF ALL THE VISA
CATEGORIES THE BILL IS DESIGNED
TO PROTECT. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND WORKERS. EVIDENCE
SHOWS THAT ABUSES SUFFERED BY
WORKERS RECRUITED BY FOREIGN
LABOR CONTRACTORS ARE THE SAME
REGARDLESS OF THE CATEGORY. FOR
THAT REASON THE PERFECT
PROTECTIONS AFFORDED BY EIGHTY
THREE SIX FOUR GO WAY BEYOND
THOSE EXISTING IN CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA FEDERAL LAW THEY
PROVIDE A SIMILARLY NEED A
CONSISTENT FRAMEWORK COVERING
ALL THESE THE CATEGORY ONE THAT
MESHES WELL BUT DOES NOT
OVERLAP WITH EXISTING
PRODUCTION. THE BILL PROVISIONS
ARE ALSO GOOD FOR BUSINESS
EMPLOYERS WILL NOW HAVE A
BADLY. BUDGET RECRUITERS IF
THEY CHOOSE TO NOT DIRECTLY
RECRUIT THEIR OWN TEMPORARY
WORKERS. THE UNFAIR COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE OF BUSINESSES USING A
RECRUITER. TO UNDERPAID WORKERS

YES HI GOOD MORNING I'M NOT
GOING WITH WESTERN GROWERS
ASSOCIATION WE ARE RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSED TO EIGHTY THREE SIXTY
FOUR. THE BILL UNNECESSARILY
EXPANDS THE PROVISION THE UNDER
CALIFORNIA'S FOREIGN LABOR
CONTRACTING REGULATIONS NOW
INCLUDE ASK WORKERS UNDER THE
H. TWO A. VISA PROGRAM. HM THIS
PROGRAM IS NOT ACTUALLY
OVERLOOKED DURING THE
DISCUSSION AND NEGOTIATION OF
THAT BEFORE SEVENTY SEVEN IN
TWENTY FOURTEEN WHICH CREATED
THE FORM THEY WERE CONTRACTING
PROGRAM. H. TWO A. VISAS WERE
SIMPLY NOT INTENDED TO BE
COVERED BY THE PROGRAM BECAUSE
OF THE LACK OF NECESSITY TO DO
SO BECAUSE THE H. TWO A. VISA
PROGRAM IS ALREADY REGULATED BY
RESTRICTIVE APPLICATION AND
ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL. AND CALIFORNIA
ALREADY HAS A PRE EXISTING
SPECIFIC FARM LABOR CONTRACTOR
BY THINKING PROGRAMS THAT IS
MANAGED BY CALIFORNIA LABOR
COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE. BY THE
PRESENT GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
EMPLOYERS MUST AMONG OTHER
REQUIREMENTS DEMONSTRATE THE
NEED TO HIRE AN EXTREMELY
SUPPORTER. HEY THE HIGHEST THAT
THE ADVERSE EFFECT WAGE RATE-
THE PURPORTED PREVAILING WAIT
TO TURN BY PREVAILING WAGE
SURVEY HI FOR THE APPLICABLES
STATUTORY MINIMUM WAGE ARE THEY
ALSO PROVIDE. HOUSING AT NO
COST TO THE WORKER- ADMIN CAL
ALREADY HAS A EXISTING. FARM
CONTRACT LICENSE PROGRAM THAT
IS NOW A FOR BUT IT'S- WHERE
COMMISSIONER OFFICE AND ALREADY
COVERS FARM LABOR CONTRACTORS.
AND IN FACT THIS PROGRAM SERVES
AS A MODEL FOR THE CREATION OF
THIS BEFORE STEP SEVEN. IT WAS
SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN THE
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON JUDICIARY
ANALYSIS THAT SB FOUR SEVENTY
SEVEN QUOTE CURRENTLY
CALIFORNIA LAW REQUIRES
LICENSING UP VOMIT BURKE
CONTRACTORS ONLY. THIS HAS
CURTAILED HUMAN TRAFFICKING
RELATED ABUSES UNQUOTE. AS A
RESULT EXPANDING THE CALIFORNIA
FOR LABOR CONTRACT MAKE A
PATIENT TO COVER ASK WORKERS
UNDER THE H. TWO A. PROGRAM.
SIMPLY MAKES LITTLE SENSE- AND
IS TO PUT THAT UP TO EXISTING
LAW THIS PROJECT IS REASONS
THAT WESTERN GROWERS AS OPPOSED

EIGHTEEN POINT 4% OF AMERICAN
HOUSEHOLDS FOLLOWED THE
TRADITIONAL FAMILY STRUCTURE.
CALIFORNIA FAMILY LEAVE LAWS
CONTINUED TO REFLECT AN
OUTDATED TRADITIONAL FAMILY
MODEL ONLY ALLOWING EMPLOYEES
TO TAKE OFF TIME TO CARE FOR
NARROWLY DEFINED FAMILY
MEMBERS. THIS POLICY GAP
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTS THE
L. G. B. T. Q. I COMMUNITY.
CALIFORNIA IS THE FOURTH
LARGEST L. B. T. Q. I
POPULATION IN THE U. S. MANY
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY DO
NOT HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
THEIR BIOLOGICAL RELATIVES.
THEREFORE THEY'RE LESS LIKELY
TO HAVE BIOLOGICAL SUPPORT AND
RELY ON THEIR CHOSEN FAMILY
INSTEAD. ANOTHER STUDY FOUND
THAT THE LARGEST CONCENTRATION
OF MULTI GENERATIONAL FAMILIES
CAN BE FOUND IN NEW YORK AND
LOS ANGELES TO THE MOST
HOUSING. TO THE MOST EXPENSIVE
HOUSING MARKETS IT IS NOT
UNCOMMON FOR RELATIVES TO BE
LIVING WITH COUSINS UNCLES AND
OTHER RELATIVES NOT COVERED BY
EXISTING LEAVE LAWS
SPECIFICALLY DURING THE CLIFF
COVERED NINETEEN PANDEMIC.
THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
PRECEDENT FOR UPDATING OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF FAMILY
RELATIONSHIPS AND STATE LOCAL
LAW ORGAN CONNECTICUT NEW
JERSEY. COLORADO AND EIGHT
LOCALITIES INCLUDING LOS
ANGELES HAVE PASSED SIMILAR
SICK LAWS THAT COVER CHOSEN
FAMILY. IT'S TIME FOR
CALIFORNIA TO JOIN THESE OTHER
JURISDICTIONS AND ENSURE THAT
RESIDENTS HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE
THERE. FOR THEIR LOVED ONES
REGARDLESS OF THEIR BLOOD OR
LEGAL RELATIONSHIP. WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IS A DEFEAT FOR WALLY
WITH THE CALIFORNIA WORK AND
FAMILY COALITION. AND ACLU OF
CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS OUR
ELDEST AMANTE SPEAKING AS AN
INDIVIDUAL. HI THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ATTENTION TWO MINUTES EACH
OF OUR THAT THE FOOTBALLER AND
A REAL- BUSTAMANTE SO I DON'T
SEE IF YOU'RE READY YOU MAY
BEGIN WHENEVER. READ FIRSTLY
GOOD MORNING CHAIRED THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS
YOU TODAY MY NAME IS A DEEPER
WHILE I AND I'M A MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA WORK AND FAMILY
COALITION AND A STAFF ATTORNEY
WITH THE ACLU OF CALIFORNIA WE
ARE PROUD SUPPORTERS AND EIGHTY
TEN TWENTY ONE ARE CURRENTLY
POPULOUS AN EMPLOYEE TO TAKE
TIME OFF WORK TO CARE FOR A
SICK FAMILY MEMBER THE
CALIFORNIA CAN ONLY TAKE ME FOR
SPECIFIC FAMILY MEMBERS AND YOU
IF YOU MARRIED AND I LEAVE LIVE
THE DEFINITION OF FAMILY DOES
NOT REFLECT THE LIVED
EXPERIENCE OF LGBT PEOPLE.
IMMIGRANTS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR
WERE MORE LIKELY TO HAVE CLOSE
BONDS WITH FAMILY MEMBERS
OUTSIDE OF OUR NARROW
TRADITIONAL DEFINITION AT TEN
FORTY ONE EXPANDS THE
DEFINITION OF FAMILY OUR REPLY
TO INCLUDE INDIVIDUALS FOR
EQUIVALENT AT FAMILY AND
EMPLOYEES LIFE THERE ARE THREE
IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE TO
HIGHLIGHT ABOUT THE BELL THE
BILL DOES NOT CREATE NEWMAN
IT'S SIMPLY ALLOWS EMPLOYEES TO
TAKE THEIR EXISTING PAID SECOND
FAMILY LEAVE TO CARE FOR THE
PEOPLE THEY CONSIDER FAMILY
MANY LGBTQ PEOPLE HAVE BEEN
SHUNNED BY THEIR FAMILIES AND
I'VE WORKED HARD TO FORM NEW
CHOSEN FAMILY AND STUDIES SHOW
THAT ONE HALF OF LGBTQ PEOPLE
TURN TO CHOSEN FAMILY TO CARE
FOR THEM. BUT OUR CURRENT
DEFINITION OF FAMILY LGBTQ
PEOPLE ARE BEING DENIED LEAVE
OTHER WORKERS ALREADY WRITTEN
THE SECOND THING I WANNA POINT
OUT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
WHO TYPICALLY THE MALL BEFORE
THOSE PEOPLE THE LEASE OF LIFE
CHANGING EDT REPORT THAT LESS
THAN ZERO POINT 3% OF ALL
DISABILITY AND KEEP THEM IN THE
PLANE OUR TO CARE FOR EXTENDED
FAMILY MEMBERS ZERO POINT 3% IS
NOT A SIGNIFICANT BURDEN ON
BUSINESS BUT WE DO NEED IT IT'S
CRUCIAL. THE LAST THING I WANT
HIGHLIGHTED THAT CALIFORNIA IS
ALREADY BEHIND ON THIS ISSUE
THE US GOVERNMENT SIX STATES
AND LOCALITIES INCLUDING LA
HAVE ALREADY ADOPTED AN
EXPANSIVE DEFINITION OF FAMILY
IN THEIR LEASE NOT ONCE A
LEADER IN LGBTQ RIGHTS
CALIFORNIA NOW LAGGED BEHIND TO
STAND BY OUR VALUES OF EQUITY
AND INCLUSION. WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH- ARE YOU ABLE TO
MY- FOR READY YOU MAY. YES
MORNING HONORABLE MEMBER MY

WAS IN A SIMILAR POSITION. NOT
HAVING OTHER TO BE ABLE TO CARE
FOR HIM. AND AFTER CARING FOR
MY PARTNER I WAS UNIQUELY
POSITIONED TO PROVIDE HIM POST
OPERATIVE CARE AS HE RECOVERED.
SOMETHING THAT WAS NECESSARY
FOR HIM AND WOULD HAVE
OTHERWISE BEEN UNABLE TO BE
ACHIEVED. WITHOUT A PROPER
SUPPORT SYSTEM. AS AN EMPLOYEE
OF THE LOS ANGELES LGBT CENTER.
I WAS ABLE TO UTILIZE PAID TIME
OFF TO CARE FOR BOTH OF MY
LOVED ONE. I NOT BEEN ABLE TO
DO SO I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A
POSITION TO CARE FOR THESE
IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE DUE
TO THE ECONOMIC IMPACT. AND
THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN- IN A
POSITION WHERE THEY HAD TO
POSTPONE THIS CARE. THIS PAST
YEAR. AS WE AS AN LGBTQ PLUS

THE EFFECTS OF THE CODE

INCREASINGLY CLEAR WHITE BEING
ABLE TO TAKE LEAVE FOR CHILDREN

NECESSARY. TO MANY PEOPLE IN
THE LGBTQ I A PLUS COMMUNITY.
ESPECIALLY PEOPLE OF COLOR AND
IMMIGRANTS. SHARKS APPEARANCE

TO EIGHTY TEN FORTY ONE AS A
JOB KILLER. I'M AS A RESULT OF
THE BECAUSE THE NINETEEN
PANDEMIC THERE ARE THIRTY SEVEN
POINT EIGHT FEWER SMALLER
BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA THAN
THERE WERE IN JANUARY OF TWENTY
TWENTY SMALL BUSINESS REVENUES
DOWN STILL BY ABOUT THIRTY
POINT 6% WITH SOME INDUSTRIES
REVENUE DOWN BY MORE THAN SIXTY
PERCENT. BOTH SMALL AND LARGE
BUSINESSES ARE STILL FIGHTING
TO KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN AND
MAKE A WHILE. TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO KEEP OPERATIONS
GOING EMPLOYERS OBLIGATIONS TO
PROVIDE LEAVE HAS INCEASED
OVER THE PAST YEAR ONE OF THE
MOST. SIGNIFICANTLY EXPANSION
DURING COLD IT WAS THE
EXPANSION OF THE FOR JUST THREE
MONTHS AGO SB THIRTY EIGHTY
THREE AT THE END OF THE
CALIFORNIA FAMILY RIGHTS ACT
EFFECTIVE JANUARY FIRST SO THAT
IT NOW APPLIES TO SMALL
BUSINESSES WITH FIVE OR MORE
EMPLOYEES. SB THIRTY THREE ALSO
EXPANDED THE LIST OF FAMILY
MEMBERS FOR WHICH AN EMPLOYEE
COULD TAKE ME TO PROVIDE CARE
BECAUSE OF THE CHANGES HE FOR
NO LONGER RUN CONCURRENTLY WITH
ITS FEDERAL COUNTERPART THE
FMLA. BETWEEN THE TWO STATUTES
AND EMPLOYEE COULD BE OUT OF
WORK FOR SIX MONTHS AND THE
EMPLOYER WOULD HAVE NO
DISCRETION TO DENY C. FOR OR
FMLA OR ASK AN EMPLOYEE TO
MODIFY THAT LEAD. TO CALM THE
OTHER EMPLOYEES WHO ARE OUT.
NOW JUST THREE MONTHS AFTER SB
THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE EXTENSION
AB TEN FORTY ONE SEEKS TO
EXPAND IT AND THE HEALTHY
WORKPLACE HEALTHY FAMILY ACT
EVEN FURTHER. THE BILL BROAD
PROVISIONS WOULD ALLOW
EMPLOYEES TO TAKE CARE FOR
ANYONE OF THEIR CHOOSING AN
EMPLOYER WOULD HAVE NO ABILITY
TO CHALLENGE AN EMPLOYEE'S
ASSERTION THAT THEY CONSIDER
NON RELATIVE TO BE LIKE FAMILY
TO THEM. THERE'S ALSO NO LIMIT
ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT
EMPLOYEES CAN TAKE CARE TAKE
LEAVE TO CARE FOR. CALIFORNIA
SMALL BUSINESSES CANNOT AFFORD
A NEW BURDEN FAMILIES MANDATE
EMPLOYERS MUST ALREADY PROVIDE
A MYRIAD OF PLEASE UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW INCLUDING PAID
SICK LEAVE A SECOND ROUND OF
THE NINETEEN SICK LEAVE
EXCLUSION PAY. CHILD CARE LEAVE
CRIME VICTIM LEAD PREGNANCY

BROUGH EDT. THEIR OFF IT DOES
NOT. EMPLOYEES TOOK LEAVE AND
THEN NOT TO GO BENEFITS OR-
INSTEAD. OTHER EMPLOYER
PROVIDED BENEFITS. I THINK IT
WAS NOT UNTIL TWENTY TWENTY ONE
THAT EMPLOYEES COULD TAKE TO
GUARANTEE CALLED WEEKLY BOX. TO
CARE FOR SOMEONE OTHER THAN A
PARENT TRAVIS. AND WITH THE
INCREASING AVAILABILITY THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO THAT DO
USE THAT IS SURE TO INCREASE
AND THIRD. THAT DATA IS FROM
THE C. FOR APPLY ONLY TO
BUSINESSES OF FIFTY PLUS
EMPLOYEES WHICH IS GREATLY
EXPANDED THREE MONTHS AGO.
REGARDLESS LEADER COSTLY FOR
EMPLOYERS ESPECIALLY OUR
SMALLEST EMPLOYERS. AND
EXPECTED ABSENTEEISM COSTS
ABOUT THIRTY SIX HUNDRED PER
EMPLOYEE PER YEAR FOR DISPATCH.
AND WHILE THAT MIGHT SEEM A
LOT. TO SOME SMALL BUSINESSES
THAT ARE DOWN 30% IN REVENUE
THAT THIRTY SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
IT'S A FAIR TRIAL. FURTHER
WHILE WE UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS
TO TAKE LEAVE TO CARE FOR
SOMEONE OUTSIDE THE FAMILY.
MANY OF THOSE RELATIONSHIPS ARE
ALREADY COVERED UNDER EXISTING
LEAVE. POLICIES FOR AND THE
HEALTHY WORKPLACE HEALTHY
FAMILY ACT ALREADY ALLOWS
CARE FOR A CHILD. IN THERE
SOMEONE WHO STANDS IN THE SHOES
OF THE PARENTS OF THAT CHILD.
OR TO CARE FOR A PARENT LIKE
FIGURE WHO STOOD IN THE SHOES
OF THE PARENTS AND AS A CHILD.
A BIOLOGICAL OR LEGAL
RELATIONSHIP IS NOT NECESSARY
IN EITHER OF THOSE SITUATIONS
TO QUALIFY. FOR DIFFERENT

QUESTIONS COMMENTS I DATE OF AS
OUR WORK THANK YOU AND I WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR WORKING
ON THIS BILL I THINK IS THAT
REALLY STATED IN YOUR OPEN AND
FROM A LOT OF FLIGHT TESTIMONY
FOR ME AND THANK YOU FOR
PUTTING TOGETHER SUCH A ROBUST-
GROUP OF CALIFORNIANS AND THE
REPRESENTATIVES TO REALLY.
UNDERSCORE HOW OUR DEFINITION
OF FAMILY HAS REALLY CHANGED
OVER THE YEARS- AND WE'RE
FORTUNATE THAT IT HAS BECAUSE I
THINK IT USED TO BE A TIME
DECADES AGO WHEN MANY PEOPLE
WERE VERY CLOSETED ABOUT WHO
THEIR REAL FAMILY WHO THEIR
OTHER PLACES WE THINK THERE WAS
A- TERM ABOUT BEARDS RIGHT THAT
LIKE SOMEBODY HAD A FAKE
RELATIONSHIP TO BE ABLE TO MASK
THE TRUE RELATIONSHIPS- AND
THEY REALLY- THE MEANT THAT MET
THE WOMAN THAT WERE THE
EQUIVALENT. OF WHAT WE
UNDERSTAND A NUCLEAR FAMILY TO
BE AND I THINK- IN THIS GREAT
DIVERSE STATE THAT WE HAVE THAT
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE
THAT- I WOULD- ENCOURAGE I IAN-
AS YOUR CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THE- DEFINITION- THE BUT BUT
BUT BUT BUT- THE EQUIVALENT OF
A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP. I'M JUST
THAT DOESN'T GET TRIPPED UP
THERE'S A WAY THAT MAYBE CAN
KIND OF TIGHTEN UP EXACTLY
MAYBE SOME STANDARDS THAT WOULD
DEFINE DOT EQUIVALENT I THINK
THAT WOULD HELP I THINK THAT'S
REALLY DESERVES PASSAGE TO
REFLECT THE- AND THE
RELATIONSHIPS WE HAVE ACROSS
OUR STATE OF THE PRODUCT- JOIN
AS CO AUTHORS NOT PERTAIN DO
SO. AND I'M HAPPY. TO MOVE THE
BILL THANK YOU. SIR SECOND.
SECOND OKAY WE HAVE A MOTION A
SECOND ANY FURTHER CONVERSATION
I GUESS I REQUEST PLEASE SO IT
AND I TOTALLY RESPECT AND AGREE
WITH ARE MY COLLEAGUES FROM-
FROM SAN DIEGO- ON ON THE
DEFINITION AND THAT THAT'S ONE
OF THE ISSUES THAT I'VE BEEN
STRUGGLING WITH BECAUSE- IF
THAT DEFINITION IS A NARROW-
JUST CONCLUDE ANYBODY. THAT THE
EMPLOYER DOESN'T REALLY HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY- NOR DO THEY HAVE
THE RIGHT TO ASK- THE RIGHT
QUESTIONS TO BE ABLE TO
DETERMINE WHETHER SOMEBODY IS
JUST USING THIS. AS A MEANS OF
YOU KNOW IT'S TAKING THREE
WEEKS OFF TO GO VISIT THEIR
SICK FRIEND IN MAUI- DURING
CHRISTMAS WHEN THEY CAN'T GET
OTHER TIME OFF. AND IN IN THOSE
KIND OF. LOOSE DEFINITIONS
ALLOW FOR HAT KIND OF ABUSE
AND THAT KIND OF ABUSE. IS WHAT
IS THE BUSINESS KILLER THAT
THEY TALK ABOUT- AND ALSO IN
THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEE WORLD-
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT COST.
AGAIN TOP COST TAXPAYERS.
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN OVERTIME COSTS- IT
DOES I WORKED THERE FOR THIRTY
FIVE YEARS I DO UNDERSTAND HOW
MUCH IT COSTS. AND SO- SO IT
YOU KNOW IT'S HARD TO SUPPORT
IT WITH WITH THE CURRENT
LANGUAGE BECAUSE IT'S JUST TOO
BROAD. AND BUT I DO UNDERSTAND
THE CHANGING DYNAMICS OF
FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS. AND IN
THAT FAMILIES ARE NOW NOT
REALLY AS WELL DEFINED AS THEY
WERE BEFORE I HAVE A VERY
EXTENDED FAMILY ALSO. AND IN
UNDERSTAND THAT AS WELL AS
ANYBODY- SO- SO YOU KNOW IT. IS
THEIR LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT
HELPS. WITH THAT SO APPRECIATE
THE COMMENTS- AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR SUPPORT AS A MEMBER WARD
WILL CERTAINLY ADD YOU AS A CO
AUTHOR- AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THE BILL YOU KNOW WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
WHILE THE SAME TIME YOU KNOW.
WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THERE'S
NO FRAUD AND I DON'T BELIEVE
THERE IS WIDESPREAD FRAUD IN
OUR CURRENT SYSTEM- AND IT
DEFINITELY WITH IN THIS
SPECIFIC BILL- IT REQUIRES A
DOCTOR'S NOTE SO IT CANJUST BE
SORT OF LIKE RANDOM NEIGHBOR
WANTS TO GO TO HAWAII FOR THREE
WEEKS- THERE NEEDS TO BE SERVED
DOCUMENTATION TO ENSURE THAT
THE PERSON WHO'S- CARING FOR
THAT PERSON- IT IS LEGITIMATELY
ABLE TO DO SO AND IS DOING SO.
AUTHENTICALLY AND I WILL SAY
YOU KNOW WE'VE WE'VE SPOKEN
SERVICE OR ELSE FINISH UP WE
YOU KNOW WE SPOKE TO THE
CHAMBER CONTAINING TO MEET WITH
THE CHAMBER AND THEY'RE THE
ONES WHO. I THINK ARE MOST IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL- AND
WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE
CONVERSATIONS YOU KNOW ONCE
THIS GETS OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE
IT HAS TO GOTO ANOTHER
COMMITTEE AS WELL I'VE SPOKEN
TO THE CHAIR OF THAT COMMITTEE.
SO IT IS STILL VERY MUCH WORK
IN PROGRESS AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE SITE
AND ALSO IF YOU CAN ENSURE
THAT- THE HIPPA REQUIREMENTS
DON'T GET THROWN IN THERE AS AN
OBSTACLE- WITH A DOCTOR'S
EXCUSE. SAYING SOMEBODY IS ILL.
AT THE AVERAGE OF THAT VIOLATE
THEIR HIP A REQUIRED MADERA
HIPAA PROTECTIONS SO- SO ANYWAY
I. APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING
QUESTIONS THANK YOU THINK.
THANK YOU THIS AMERICAN. REGIS
WANNA MAKE THIS DOESN'T EXPAND
PAID FAMILY LEAVE TO PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES BY RIGHT DOES THAT
NOW. OKAY SO. JUST TO BE CLEAR
AND I KNOW THERE'S SO MUCH
CONFUSION ON ON- FAMILY LEAVE
UNFORTUNATELY TOO MANY OF OUR
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES. INCLUDING
TEACHERS AND COUNTY EMPLOYEES
COUNTY SAN DIEGO. DON'T
ACTUALLY HAVE PAID FAMILY LEAVE
SO- THIS WOULDN'T BE A BURDEN
ON ON TAXPAYERS IN THAT WAY- I
ALSO WANT TO. MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS THIS IS
PAID FOR BY THE WORKERS
THEMSELVES OUT OF PAYROLL TAX
CREDITS. THE SO WITH THAT THANK
YOU I ASSUME THIS WOULD BE A
VERY. SMALL PERCENTAGE AND WHAT
IT REALLY BURDEN THAT THE STI
AND PAID FAMILY LEAVE. FUND
CORRECT IT'S A VERY SAD WE
EXPECTED TO BE A VERY SMALL
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD
ACTUALLY TAKE IT TAKE IT UP BUT
FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO VERY
IMPORTANT. I DO I WANT TO ECHO
THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
DEFINITION- I THINK THAT THAT
DOES NEED TO BE TAKEN UP AND
I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT- OUT OF.
AT APPROPRIATIONS SO THE SPEECH
RECOGNITION THANK. YOU GOT A
JUDICIARY SORRY WE GOT WE GOT A
INSURANCE THIS ON THOSE. OKAY
SO NOTHING'S WILL GET BY THE
TIME YOU GET THERE. I JUST WANT
TO KNOW THAT. I'D EXPECT A
LITTLE BIT TIGHTER GENERATION
THAT'S IT BUT- I'M- GLAD YOU
BROUGHT THIS WHAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT. THANK THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. FOR ALL THE COMMON AND
YOU SOME. WORK A YOU KNOW THE-
THANKS AGAIN THIS LAST YEAR I
THINK WE'VE SEEN A LOT. BOTH IN
TERMS OF THE BILITY OF A- I
GUESS IT'S CALLED A SILVER
LINING WHERE FOLKS BEEN A
VOLUNTARY CHILDREN'S EDUCATIONS
MAYBE. WHEN THEY WERE UNABLE TO
IN THE PAST- AND WE'VE ALSO
SEEN SOME HORRORS OF DOWN IS
NOT BE ABLE TO BE WITH THEIR
LOVED ONES. DURING THE WORST
TIMES OF THEIR LIFE- BUT WE
SHOULD BE REMOVING BARRIERS TO
ALLOWING LOVED ONES TO CARE FOR
ANOTHER THAT WAS MEANT TO CARE
FOR ANOTHER. INTERVIEW WITH ONE
ANOTHER. AND YOU KNOW AS FAR AS
CHOSEN FAMILIES. THERE IS FAR
AS THE CENTER THERE'S A
CHANGING DYNAMIC WHAT A FAMILY
IT FAMILIES ARE. I WOULD ARGUE
IS THE OPPOSITE THEY WERE
FINALLY. ALLOWING COMES BE WHAT
THEY'VE ALWAYS BEEN- AND SO
REALLY A- THIS BILL FOR THAT
REASON- AND SO. AMONG AMONG
MANY OTHERS AND SO WITH THAT. I

NEXT AB ELEVEN NINETEEN- THE
PERSON THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND
COMMITTEE STAFF AB ELEVEN
NINETEEN PROHIBITS
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
EMPLOYEES BASED ON THEIR FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES ADDITIONALLY
THIS BILL REQUIRES AN EMPLOYEE
TO PROVIDE REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR KNOWN FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES FOR SCHOOL AND
CHILD CARE CLOSURES. FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITY DISCRIMINATION
OCCURS WHEN AN EMPLOYER TAKES A
NEGATIVE EMPLOYMENT ACTION
AGAINST AN EMPLOYEE TO CARE FOR
A FAMILY MEMBER THIS INCLUDES
MOTHER FOR MOTHERS AND FATHERS
OF YOUNG CHILDREN PREGNANT
BREAST FEEDING A PEOPLE. AND
EMPLOYEES WITH AGING PARENTS OR
SIX PALACES OR PARTNERS THAT
MAY ENCOUNTER FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES DISCRIMINATION
ACCORDING TO THE US DEPARTMENT
OF LABOR ROUGHLY 60% OF TWO
PARENT HOUSEHOLDS WITH AT
ROUGHLY 60% OF TWO PARENT
HOUSEHOLDS WITH CHILDREN UNDER
AGE UNDER AGE EIGHTEEN. HAVE
BOTH PARENTS WORKING MORE THAN
ONE IN SIX AMERICANS AMERICANS
WORK FULL TIME OR PART TIME
REPORT ASSISTING WITH CARE OF
AN L. ELDERLY OR DISABLED
FAMILY MEMBER RELATIVE OR
FRIEND AND WANTED TWELVE
EMPLOYEE WHEN TWELVE- EMPLOYED
ADULTS CARE FOR BOTH CHILDREN
AND ELDERLY OR DISABLED ADULTS.
MOST EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE
CAREGIVING RESPONSIBILITIES AT
SOME POINT IN THEIR
PROFESSIONAL LIVES EMPLOYMENT
ACTIONS LIKE TERMINATION
REFUSAL TO HIRE OR DEMOTION OR
BEING PASSED UP FOR PROMOTIONS
MAY BE BASED ON BIASES ABOUT
HOW WORKERS WITH FAMILY
CAREGIVING RESPONSIBILITIES
WILL OR SHOULD ACT WITHOUT
REGARD TO THE WORKERS ACTUAL
PERFORMANCE. THIS TYPE OF
DISCRIMINATION AFFECTS
EMPLOYEES OF EVERY INCOME LEVEL
RACE GENDER IN INDUSTRY WORKING
MOTHERS LOW WAGE WORKERS AND
PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED ONE
STUDY BY THE AMERICAN JOURNAL
SOCIOLOGY FOUND THAT MOTHERS
WERE 79% LESS LIKELY TO BE
RECOMMENDED FOR HIRE. HALF IS
LIKELY TO BE PROMOTED AND
OFFERED AN AVERAGE OF ELEVEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS FOR THE
SAME POSITION AS NON MOTHERS.
MOST ALARMINGLY 80% OF THE
NEARLY ONE POINT ONE MILLION
WORKERS WHO DROPPED OUT OF THE
LABOR FORCE LAST SEPTEMBER
WOMEN. EMPLOYEES ARE STRUGGLING
TO BALANCE THEIR JOB AND CARING
FOR THEIR FAMILIES. DISPARATE
TREATMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR
FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD
NOT BE REASON FOR TERMINATION
OR OTHER ADVERSE EMPLOYMENT
ACTIONS. AND I'LL JUST SAY YOU
KNOW YESTERDAY I WAS- IN THE
MIDDLE OF MY DAY AND ZOOMING A
LOT AND MY DAUGHTER'S SCHOOL
CALLED AND SHE AS SICK. AND I
WAS ABLE TO STOP WHAT I WAS
DOING AND GO PICK HER UP- BUT
I'M LUCKY AND WE ARE LUCKY
BECAUSE WE HAVE STAFF AND WE
HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT.
BUT FOR SO MANY OF OUR WORKERS
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO WHAT
IF YOU'RE A GROCERY STORE
WORKER WHAT IF YOU'RE A NURSE
WHAT IF YOU WORK AT. YOU KNOW A
CAFE WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO
DO IN THAT SITUATION HAPPENS
AND SO THE POINT OF THIS BILL
IS TO ENSURE THAT OUR EMPLOYEES
WHO HAVE THOSE TYPES OF
RESPONSIBILITIES. HAVE SOME
FORM OF REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION SO THAT THEIR
JOBS ARE NOT JEOPARDIZED AND TO
ENSURE THAT OUR WORKERS ARE
MEASURED ON THE OUTPUT OF THEIR
WORK. I'M NOT THE PERCEPTION OF
WHAT IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE

SHE WAS JUST TRYING. SO MY
PERFORM DIDN'T CHANGE MAKE THE
PROVIDED PROTECTION IF NEEDED.
I HAD TO USE MY HARD EARNED SIX
KIND OF PPL TO TAKE WOULD BE TO
DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS.
SPECIALIZES IN. BOTH THE
FREIGHT OF ALWAYS ASKING FOR
THE ACCOMMODATION AND TIME OFF
BECAUSE MY BOSS IS A MENOMINEE.
I WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT ME TO MY
COWORKERS BEHIND MY BACK. I
WOULD START AROUND CHRISTMAS IN
TWENTY NINETEEN. I WAS
HUMILIATED SHAYMIN COMPANY
ANXIOUS ABOUT HOW I WOULD
PROVIDE FOR MY CHILDREN.
THEY'RE TRYING TO GET A GREAT
BUT SO POWERFUL THAT I ALMOST
BOUGHT THE WILL PREVENT. BUT I
LOVE MY CHILDREN I KNEW I
NEEDED TO PROVIDE FOR THEM. I
FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER JOB IN

WELL TRAINED PROFESSIONALS HAVE
TRICK EXPERIENCE AND CAN
MONITOR HER HEALTH CONDITION.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE
END I'M A NEW JOB MY BOSS IS
OBVIOUSLY ANNOYED JOB TO
RETALIATE AGAINST ME BY DENYING

GOOD AFTERNOON AND THANK YOU.
MY NAME OF BUT MORRISON THE
DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR THE CENTER
FOR WORK LIFE LAW UP WE JUST
HEARD FROM ALMOST THIRTY A FAR
TOO MANY WORKERS WITH FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES HAPPENING
CRISIS OVER THE LAST YEAR WHEN
THE PROFESSIONAL CARE PROVIDERS
THAT THEY RELY ON TO GET TO
WORK HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE THE COMPANY.
MOTHERS IN PARTICULAR HAVE BEEN
DEVASTATED WHAT THE HARSHEST
IMPACT ON WOMEN OF COLOR SINGLE
MOTHERS AND WORKERS IN THE
PAINT JOB. NOT ONLY HAVE THEY
SUFFERED THAT THEIR CHILDREN
HAVE PROPER TOO. MANY WHAT
HOMELESSNESS FOOD INSECURITY IN
OTHER PLAGUE THE POVERTY.
DURING THE PANDEMIC WORKING
PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO CARING FOR
YOUNG CHILDREN THE ELDERLY AND
FAMILY MEMBERS WITH
DISABILITIES HAVE FAITH. HARPER
ENGINE TWENTY. BETWEEN
PROVIDING ADEQUATE CARE FOR
THEIR LOVED ONES AND KEEPING
THE PAINT JOB THEY NEED TO
SURVIVE. BUT THESE CHOICES ARE
NOT NEW. DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
FAMILY CAREGIVERS EXISTED LONG
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND IT WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY CONTINUE AND LIKELY
TAKE AFFIRMATIVE STEPS TO
ADDRESS THAT. AND CALIFORNIA IS
BEHIND IN ADDRESSING IT NEARLY
30% OF THE AMERICAN WORK FORCE
IS ALREADY PROTECTED BY A STATE
OR LOCAL LAW THAT PROHIBITS
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
EMPLOYEES THAT CARE GIVING
RESPONSIBILITIES. CALIFORNIA
WORKERS ARE LEFT OUT. THE
EXPERIENCE OF THESE OTHER
STATES SHOWS THAT FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITY DISCRIMINATION
LAWS WORK FOR EMPLOYEES AND
BUSINESSES ALIKE BY ENCOURAGING
EMPLOYERS TO TREAT FAMILY
CAREGIVERS BASED ON THEIR JOB
PERFORMANCE INSTEAD OF FIRE
WHICH HAS THE POWER TO BOTH
SAVE JOBS AND AVOID POSSIBLE.
AB ELEVEN NINETEEN IS
IMPERATIVE FOR CALIFORNIA'S
ECONOMIC RECOVERY. IT WILL
ENSURE FAMILY CAREGIVERS
TYPICALLY WOMEN ARE ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE FULLY IN THE WORK
FORCE. HOTELLING FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES AND NOT A
PRIVATE BALIK IF THE HARD AND
NECESSARY WORK OF CARING FOR
THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES. AND RAISING THE
NEXT GENERATION OF WORKERS THAT
WILL KEEP OUR ECONOMY RUNNING

THANK YOU I COULD AFTERNOON
AGAIN MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS WITH
ACTUALLY OPTED ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
WE ARE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED TO
AB ONE ONE ONE NINE AS A JOB
KILLER I'M A LOT OF DISCUSSION
SURROUNDING THIS BILL HAS BEEN
ON THE PROVISION PROHIBITING
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
EMPLOYEES OR PARENTS OR PROVIDE
CARE TO OTHERS. I WOULDN'T
REALLY WANT TO HIGHLIGHT TODAY
IS THE BILL'S EXPANSION OF THE
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION IN
THERE AFTER PRACTICE MANDATE
UNDER THE HOT AND WHAT THAT
PRACTICALLY WOULD BE FOR
EMPLOYERS PRESENTLY YOU SEE HOW
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
REQUIREMENT ONLY APPLIES TO
EMPLOYEES AT THE DISABILITY
ORGAN PLAY BUT CERTAIN
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. AB ONE ONE
ONE NINE EXPAND THIS
REQUIREMENT FOR THE AN EMPLOYER
MUST PROVIDE REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION FOR ANY EMPLOYEE
WHO HAD FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES. FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES IS BROADLY
DEFINED UNDER THE BILL INCLUDES
PROVIDING DIRECTED ONGOING CARE
TO ANY MINOR CHILD THE CARE
RECIPIENT THE DIRECT CARE IS
NOT JUST LIMITED TO WOMEN WHO
ARE CHILD CARE CENTER IS CLOSED
AND IT APPLIES EQUALLY TO TRIAL
TO SEVENTEEN AT THE GOT TO GO
INTO ONE. CHARACTER VIA IS
ANYONE RESIDING IN THE
HOUSEHOLD FOR QUITE SOME THE
EMPLOYEE FOR MEDICAL CARE OR
MORE BROADLY RELIES ON THE
EMPLOYEES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
DAILY LIVING THERE FOR A LARGE
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES WOULD BE
ENTITLED TO ACCOMMODATIONS
UNDER THE SPELL THAT WOULD
INCLUDE ANY EMPLOYEE WHO IS A
PARENT OF A CHILD UNDER
EIGHTEEN AND ANY EMPLOYEE
LIVING WITH ANOTHER PERSON WHO
RELIES ON THEM IN SOME WAY. SO
UNDER THIS BILL AN EMPLOYER
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO
ACCOMMODATE ANY EMPLOYEE WHO
FALLS INTO ONE OF THOSE TWO
CATEGORIES THAT MEANS THAT A
PARENT WHAT THE COMING LATE
EVERY DAY AFTER TAKING THEIR
CHILD TO SCHOOL OR LEAVE EARLY
TO PICK UP A CHILD FROM SCHOOL
CAN'T REQUEST ACCOMMODATION.
APPARENTLY WANT TO TAKE A DAY
OFF CARE FOR THEIR CHILD WITH
OUR SPOUSES ON VACATION CAN
REQUEST AN ACCOMMODATION AN
EMPLOYEE WHO NEED TO DRIVE THE
ROOMMATE TO AN APPOINTMENT CAN
REQUEST THAT ACCOMMODATION AND
AN EMPLOYEE WHO IMPACT THEIR C.
FOR EVERITT MAILLET LEAVE CAN
REQUEST MORE THAN THOSE TWELVE
WEEKS. UNLIKE OTHER LEAVE
SABRINA MORE COMBINATIONS UNDER
FEET HIGH ARE NOT CAST THE
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
PROCESSES DESIGNED FOR INJURED
OR DISABLED WORKERS WHO NEEDED
MODIFICATIONS. TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE WORKING THERE IS NO
SET HOURLY WE- OR- LET. EACH
ISSUE. AS HIGH FACT. WHAT IS
CONSIDERED. THAN COMMON. GET
FROM COURSE TO. IT IS DEPENDENT
ON THE INTO. AND EMPLOYEE AND
THE END OF THE EMPLOYERS IN
BATON. THERE ARE ALSO ARE.
FORTY HOUR. A PROTECTED. UNDER
LABOR CODE SECTION TWO THIRTY
POINT EIGHT. FOR FIGURATIONS
WERE CHILD NOT BE PICKED UP. OR
IF THE SCORE CHILD CARE CENTER
IS UNEXPECTEDLY CLOSED. FURTHER
THINK PRODUCT CAN BE USED IN
ONE TO TWO HOUR INCREMENTS
WHERE A CHILD HAS. MEDICAL
CONDITION AND THEREFORE NEED TO
BE CARED FOR BY THE PARENT AND
SMALL INCREMENTS OF TIME.
ALTHOUGH NO PLAYER CAN
TECHNICALLY TO NINE
ACCOMMODATION IS NOT REASONABLE
OUT OF FEAR OF LITIGATION MANY
EMPLOYERS ACTUALLY HAVE VERY
LITTLE ABILITY TO DO THAT. THIS
ASSEMBLY HERE'S AN IMPOSSIBLE
SITUATION OF TRYING TO CONTINUE
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
UNDERSTAFFED OR DECIDE TO TAKE
IN A COMPANY IN WHO THEY
CANNOT. REMOTE COMBINATIONS
GENERATE SIGNIFICANT LITIGATION
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON SPECIES
FOR THE D. FH TARGETS FILED IN
TWENTY NINETEEN A WERE RELATED
TO ACCOMMODATION. BUT OCCASION
CAN FINANCIALLY DEVASTATED
SMALL BUSINESS. WHO IS
SUBJECTIVE HE HA. AND EVEN WHEN
AN EMPLOYER DOES GRAND
ACCOMMODATION THERE'S LIKELY TO
BE A LOT. ABOUT WHETHER THE
EMPLOYER SHOULD HAVE DONE MORE
AND THE DISABILITY CONTEXT
THERE'S BEEN EXTENSIVE
LITIGATION ABOUT WHETHER
SPECIFIC ACCOMMODATION
SUFFICIENT. WHETHER THE
EMPLOYEE IS ENTITLED TO MORE
ACCOMMODATION AFTER THE END OF
THE PERIOD OF LEAVE OR CULTURAL
CHANGE. EMPLOYERS ESPECIALLY
SMALL PLAYERS HAVE FACED
MULTIPLE INCREASE LEADS TO
MANDATE THIS YEAR. WITH MORE
THAN 3637% OF SMALL BUSINESSES
STILL BEING CLOSED. SMALLER
PLAYERS SIMPLY CANNOT TAKE THIS
NEW MANDATE ESPECIALLY ONE WITH
NO LIMITATIONS ON TIME. AND
THAT IS HIGHLY PRONE TO
LITIGATION WE THEREFORE

CALIFORNIA RESPECTFUL IN
OPPOSITION TO AB LAB IN. ELEVEN
NINETEEN. THANK YOU. AND AT
THIS TIME WE HAVE NO OTHER
PARTIES IN Q. THANK YOU. I WILL
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
SUMMER GONZALEZ. FIRST I MET
WITH THE BILL BUT- I HAVE TO
ADMIT AS YOU KNOW AND I WORKED
IN THE SPACE FOR A LONG TIME.
FIRST OF ALL JUST SO PEOPLE
HOME NOW IF ANYONE IS CALLED AT
WORK BECAUSE THEIR CHILD IS
SICK YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE
RIGHT TO TAKE PAID SICK TIME.
SO THAT WE DID THAT A FEW YEARS
AGO. IT'S REALLY PART WE DON'T
HAVE ENOUGH PAID SICK TIME BUT
YOU CAN'T BE. STOPPED OR
RETALIATED AGAINST FOR DOING
SELF SO WE HAVE I HAVE THAT
PROTECTION. MY CONCERN WITH
THIS BILL IS THE ACCOMMODATION
PORTION. BECAUSE THERE'S NO
CASE LAW THERE'S NO RULE- IT'S
SO DIFFERENT THAN THE-
DISABILITY IT WHAT WE'RE USED
TO. ALREADY WITH- THE MEETING
AND- YOU KNOW YOU YOU LOOK AT
MEDICAL RECORDS YOU YOU DECIDE
WHAT CAN BE DONE THERE. THERE
IS A PROCESS THAT WE'VE GONE
THROUGH NOW WITH WITH. WITH
DISABILITIES THAT WE UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T KNOW EVEN AS BOTH AT
SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN AN
EMPLOYEE WITH CHILDREN AND AN
EMPLOYER WHAT WOULD BE
CONSIDERED BY A COURT
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION AND SO
IT WOULD BE HELPFUL AND I DON'T
KNOW IF THIS IS BEEN DISCUSSED
I ALMOST FEEL BAD SAYING THIS
PUBLICLY WITHOUT. ADDRESS IT
PRIVATELY PURCHASED. IS THERE A
WAY TO GIVE EXAMPLES OR OR TO
SPECIFY WHAT A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION WHAT WHAT THE RAM
OF THAT IS I MEAN IS A
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION.
BRINGING MY CHILD WITH ME TO
WORK IS A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION- CHANGING MY
SCHEDULE IS A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION GIVE ME PAID TIME
OFF YOU KNOW. I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT THE COURTS WOULD ASSUME
WOULD BE THE REASON
ACCOMMODATION AND I THINK THAT
THAT CAUSES A LOT OF FEAR I
JUST. WOULD LIKE TO BE. TIGHTER
IN WHAT WERE WERE SUGGESTING IS
APPROPRIATE I JUST- I CAN'T
EVEN IMAGINE ALL THE THINGS
THAT COULD COME UP RIGHT NOW SO
I THINK THAT THAT THAT MOST
EMPLOYERS PROBABLY CAN'T
EITHER. SO YES IN THIS IS
CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE'RE STILL
TRYING TO WORK THROUGH
SHAREPOINT IT'S THERE'S A LOT
TO SORT OF FIGURE OUT THERE
RIGHT- TEMPORARY I THINK IS A
PIECE OF IT. YOU KNOW- THIS
ISN'T LIKE YOU KNOW I HAVE A
JOB THAT. GET YOU KNOW I'M
SUPPOSED TO BE THERE TILL FIVE
BUT EVERY SINGLE DAY MY CHILD
GETS OUT OF SCHOOL THREE SO I'M
GONNA SAY HEY I NEED
ACCOMMODATION TO LEAVE AT THREE
EVERY SINGLE DAY BUT STILL TO
GET PAID FOR THAT TIME RIGHT.
IT'S MORE IF IT'S TEMPORARY-
SOMETHING HAPPENS WHERE THERE
IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION THAT
NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. WE'RE
STILL WORKING ON THE DEFINITION
OF WHAT THAT MEANS IN ADDITION
TO THAT- EMPLOYERS DON'T HAVE
TO PROVIDE ACCOMMODATION IF IT
MEANS- IMPOSING UNDUE HARDSHIP
ON THEM SO YOU HAVE A- STORE
WITH ONE EMPLOYEE THAT'S- AT A
SEVEN ELEVEN OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT. RIGHT LIKE THAT WOULD
IMPOSE A HARDSHIP ON. YOU KNOW
THAT STORE SO WE'RE STILL
WORKING THROUGH. THESE
DEFINITIONS AND I AGREE THEY
NEED TO BE MORE FLESHED OUT-
AND WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THAT. AND ALSO SUGGESTED TO
SCHOOL CLOSING BUT THAT'S NOT
CLEAR I I'M JUST THINKING
THROUGH ALL THE POSSIBILITIES
SO. GIVEN THE DONALD'S AND-
THERE'S A SCHOOL CLOSING IN ON
A FEDERAL HOLIDAY AND SO
EVERYBODY NEEDS AN
ACCOMMODATION TO STAY HOME WITH
THEIR CHILD. I'M RIGHT YOU KNOW
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE WE'RE
THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T WORK IN
THE REAL WORLD AGAIN SO- I
THINK THERE'S A TON OF WORK
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN THIS
SPACE AND I'M GLAD YOU'RE
TAKING US ON THIS IS. REAL I
JUST. THINK WE HAVE TO THINK
THROUGH. THE SPECIFICS. YEP AND
I'M COMMITTED TO DOING THAT YOU
KNOW ASSUMING WE GET THIS OUT
OF COMMITTEE. YEAH THANK YOU.
ARM WRESTLE THOSE EMOTIONS ARE
SECOND. OKAY THANK YOU THE
SERVER CERTAIN THANK YOU. SO N.
FOLLOWING A LITTLE BIT ON
MICHIGAN'S HOUSES CONCERNS- YOU
KNOW THE EMPLOYMENT
DISCRIMINATION IN THE FAIR
EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT ALSO
COVERS THE HIRING PROCESS- WHAT
IS TO PREVENT SOMEBODY FROM
INTERVIEWING FOR A JOB WHO HAS
SO MANY RESTRICTIONS THAT THEY
ACTUALLY CAN'T. BECAUSE OF
FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES THEY
CAN'T ACTUALLY FUNCTION IN THAT
POSITION. HOW IS THE EMPLOYER
WHAT POSITION IS THAT PUT HIM
IN FROM A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE-
EIGHT IF THEY SAY NO BECAUSE
YOU CAN'T DO THE POSITION
BECAUSE OF ALL THOSE
OBLIGATIONS ARE THEY NOW
SUBJECT TO. BEING SUIT. YOU
KNOW AGAIN I WOULD SAY I THINK
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE
COMBINATION IT'S FOR TEMPORARY
RIGHT IT'S NOT SOMETHING WHERE
IT'S SORT OF AN ONGOING
SITUATION WHERE WE KNOW EVERY
DAY OUR KID GETS OUT OF SCHOOL
TO THIRTY RIGHT- AND SO THAT'S
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO GET AT-
AND AGAIN YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE
WE'VE TALKED TO THE CHAMBER AND
THE OPPOSITION HAS RAISED SOME
OF THESE CONCERNS. I MEAN TO
CONTINUE TO DO THAT I DON'T
WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT
HAS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES-
BUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO
YOU ADDRESS THE NEEDS WERE YOU
DO YOU SEE AS AS OUR OUR
WITNESS TESTIFIED
DISCRIMINATION THAT DOES HAPPEN
RIGHT WITHOUT HAVING SOME SORT
OF NEGATIVE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES SO WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO FINISH OUT AND I
THINK AGAIN SOME. BUSINESS
CONCERNS ARE. THERE ONE LAWSUIT
AWAY FROM NOT BEING IN BUSINESS
SOMETIMES- AND IT IN OKAY. FROM
FROM MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIMENT
I HARKEN BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN
I WAS A KID MY SISTER GOT HURT
ON THE PLAYGROUND MY MOM WHO IS
A TEACHER BEFORE SHE PASSED
AWAY HAD TO COME AND GET HER
AND TAKE HER TO THE DOCTOR AND
THEN WHILE SHE WAS AT THE
DOCTOR I GOT HURT. AND SO MY
DAD WHO IS ALSO A TEACHER HAD
TO COME BACK AND GET ME- THEY
HAD NO PROBLEMS DOING THAT IN
THE PAST YEP AND I'M I'M HOPING
THINGS DIDN'T CHANGE A WHOLE
LOT. AN ENGINE ON THOSE DAYS
THAT THEY HAVE THAT. THAT IS
MISSED GONZALEZ HAD POINTED OUT
THAT THEY HAVE THAT CAPABILITY
TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT ALREADY.
AND I JUST ON THE LAWSUIT- YOU
KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR
STATES HAVE PASSED THIS
ALREADY- ALASKA DELAWARE
MINNESOTA AND NEW YORK AND THEY
HAVE NOT SEEN A DRAMATIC
INCREASE IN LAWSUITS- I THINK
IT'S THE SAME. ODDS OF BEING
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING SO IT'S
VERY SMALL- BUT- AND WE ARE
LOOKING TO THOSE STATES AS WELL
TO FIGURE OUT. LESSONS LEARNED
FROM HOW THEY HAVE DONE IT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT- WE'RE
CRAFTING THIS THE RIGHT WAY. I
THANK YOU FOR ANSWERING
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU SO MUCH AS
COMPETENT AS THE REAL WORLD
COMPLICATED IT'S REALLY TOUGH
TO SUMMER GONZALEZ IS POINT YOU
KNOW- IT'S CHALLENGING AND I
THINK THAT THIS IS THE
COMMITTEE PROCESS FOR THAT
REASON TO WORK ON THESE THINGS
IS AN ALLEGED SHERRY HOPEFULLY
NEXT- AND THAT COMMITTEE UNDER.
SHAHRISTANI'S INTERCEPTORS
GREAT JOB A DRILLING DOWN ON
THESE ISSUES AS WELL SO- WITH
THAT WE DO HAVE A MOTION WOULD

MOVED AND SECONDED. WHENEVER
YOU ARE READY SIMER JONES
SAWYER GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AB EIGHT FIVE EIGHT
ALLOWS HEALTH CARE WORKERS
PROVIDING DIRECT PATIENT CARE
TO OVERRIDE A HOSPITAL
ALGORITHM IF IT IS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF THE PATIENT AND
WITHIN THEIR SCOPE OF PRACTICE
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
HOSPITALS REGULARLY USE
ALGORITHMS TO HELP DECIDE THE
BEST COURSE OF CARE FOR
MILLIONS OF PATIENTS A YEAR.
THESE ALGORITHMS AS HEALTH CARE
PROFESSIONALS TO PUT TO INPUT
PATIENT INFORMATION WHICH
DIDN'T RETURNS WITH A
PRESCRIBED COURSE OF TREATMENT
HOWEVER ALGORITHMS ALGORITHMIC
BIAS AND SPECIFICALLY RACIAL
BIAS IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
ARE WELL DOCUMENTED AND HAVE
BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN RECENT
YEARS AND TO THE IN TWENTY
NINETEEN TO RESEARCH THE STUDY
THAT THE OUTPUTS OF A WIDELY
USED HOSPITAL ALGORITHM- AND
FOUND IT X. ZIP IT SIGNIFICANT
RACIAL BIAS WHEN IT REFERRED
BLACK PATIENTS TO EXTRA CARE
PROGRAM. SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER
TIMES THAN WHITE PATIENTS
ALTHOUGH TECHNOLOGY CAN BE A
HELPFUL TOOL. THAT THAT
COMPLEMENTS THE SKILLS AND
DECISION MAKING OF HEALTH CARE
PROFESSIONALS IT IS NOT A
REPLACEMENT FOR REAL LIFE
EXPERIENCE WE HAVE THE
LEGISLATURE HAVE INCREASINGLY
PASSED LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS
THE IMPLICIT BIASES OF
INDIVIDUALS. SO I TECHNOLOGY
BECOMES MORE MORE INGRAINED
INTO OUR SOCIETY IS ONLY RIGHT
THAT WE TAKE THE SAME STEPS TO
ADDRESS ITS LIMITATIONS AS
WELL. MAJOR HOSPITAL SYSTEMS
ACROSS THE STATE ALREADY
RECOGNIZED AS NEAT AND HAVE
IMPLEMENTED SUCH PROTECTIONS IN
THEIR OWN POLICIES. ULTIMATELY
PROVIDING AS MANY TOOLS AS
POSSIBLE TO REDUCE THE IMPACT
OF BIASES AND ALL ASPECTS OF
HEALTH CARE WILL BE LIFESAVING.
AB EIGHT FIVE EIGHT PROMOTE
PATIENT WELL BEING BY PUTTING
THE TRUST BACK INTO THE HANDS
OF THE MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
PROPERLY TRAINED TO DO THEIR
JOBS AS WELL AS CREATING B.
TALLY HAITIAN PROTECTION FROM
THEIR EMPLOYER. JUST FOR
QUESTIONING THE ALGORITHM WHEN
NECESSARY WITH ME TODAY THE
BRIDE TESTIMONY OVER THE PHONE
IS TAYLOR JACKSON ON BEHALF OF
THE BILL'S SPONSOR THE
CALIFORNIA NURSES ASSOCIATION.
AND JANICE- MERRILY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION
MEMBERS I RESPECTFULLY ASK
RIVAL. I THANK YOU VERY MUCH-
EACH WITNESS WILL HAVE UP TO
TWO MINUTES IN OF TAYLOR
JACKSON IS READY SHE MAY BEGIN.
THANK YOU MISTER TURN MEMBERS
TAYLOR JACKSON WITH THE
CALIFORNIA NURSES ASSOCIATION
PROUD SPONSORS OF EIGHTY EIGHT
FIVE EIGHT. AS A FAMILY MEMBER
JONES SAWYER SAID IMPLICIT BIAS
IS A HUGE ISSUE IN HEALTHCARE
AND STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
SIGNIFICANT BIASES INHERENT. IN
THE ALGORITHMS DEPLOYED ON A
LARGE SCALE CAN HELP FACILITIES
WHICH DO EVERYTHING FROM
SETTING PRESCRIPTION PLAN
DESIGNATING PATIENT ACUITY AND
DETERMINING HOSPITAL DISCHARGE
TIMELINE. UNFORTUNATELY THE
SYSTEMS ARE CREATED AND
IMPLEMENTED WITHOUT PROGRAMMING
TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF
OUR STATE'S DIVERSE PATIENT
POPULATION. EIGHTY FIVE EIGHT
DOES NOT REMOVE TECHNOLOGY OR
CLINICAL ALGORITHMS FROM HEALTH
CARE BUT RATHER EMPOWERS NURSES
AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS TO
CONTINUE WORKING FOR THEIR
PATIENTS BEST INTERESTS. RATHER
THAN BLINDLY FOLLOWING A
COMPUTER SYSTEM. IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT DOES NOT
MEAN HEALTHCARE WORKERS WOULD
BE FREE FROM OVERSIGHT
MONITORING OR DISCIPLINE
CALIFORNIA HAS STRONG HEALING
ARTS LICENSING BOARDS THAT
OVERSEE THEIR MEMBERS. AND
DISCIPLINE SUSPEND OR REVOKE
LICENSES WHEN APPROPRIATE AND
THIS BILL DOES NOTHING TO
CHANGE THE CROP OF THE
HOSPITALS WILL ALSO RETAIN THE
ABILITY TO DISCIPLINE A WORKER
FOR ENGAGING IN UNSAFE
PRACTICES. EIGHTY EIGHT FIVE
EIGHT SIMPLY INSURANCE AT A
HEALTH CARE PROVIDER CAN
DISAGREE WITH THE CLINICAL
ALGORITHM TO MAKE THE BEST
TREATMENT DECISION FOR THEIR
UNIQUE PATIENT WHEN IT IS THAT
WITHIN THEIR SCOPE OF PRACTICE.
WITHOUT FEAR OF PUNISHMENT FROM
THEIR EMPLOYER SOLELY FOR THE
DECISION TO OVERRIDE AN
ALGORITHM. AB EIGHT FIVE EIGHT
ALSO CREATES OPPORTUNITIES FOR
GREATER WORKER ENGAGEMENT WITH
TECHNOLOGY THE HOSPITAL. ASKING
THAT WORKERS BE NOTIFIED WHEN
NEW TECHNOLOGY AFFECTING THEIR
JOB IS BEING BROUGHT IN. THAT
WORKERS GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO
GIVE SOME INPUT ON WHAT KIND OF
TECHNOLOGY IS SELECTED. AND
THAT EMPLOYERS PROVIDE ADEQUATE
TRAINING FOR THE NEW
TECHNOLOGY. HEALTHCARE
TREATMENT IS NEVER A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL FORMULA AND STRONG
LABOR CODE PROVISIONS UNDER
THIS BILL WILL MEAN THAT
HEALTHCARE WORKERS PRIORITY CAN
REMAIN THEIR PATIENTS. FOR THAT
REASON THEIN I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST. YOUR AYE VOTE ON
EIGHTY EIGHT FIVE EIGHT. THANK
YOU. UP NEXT GEN- MAY. HELLO

COMPREHENSIVE MITIGATION
STRATEGIES GROWTH EXACERBATING
EXISTING HEALTH DISPARITIES. AS
ANYONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE WITH

EVERY PATIENT IS DIFFERENT
NURSES AND HEALTHCARE WORKERS

THEIR PATIENTS. AND FREE FROM
FEAR OF RETALIATION FROM THEIR

KALRA AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS DR JAMES LEO AND CHIEF
MEDICAL OFFICER FOR MEMORIAL
CARE FOR HOSPITAL INTEGRATED
DELIVERY SYSTEM IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA I'M A PRACTICING
INTERNAL MEDICINE AND CRITICAL
CARE MEDICINE SPECIALIST AND
HAVE OVERSIGHT OF CLINICAL
QUALITY AND EVIDENCE BASED BEST
PRACTICES FOR MEMORIAL CARE I'M
HERE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
REPRESENTING OVER FOUR HUNDRED
HOSPITALS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS
ACROSS THE STATE. MAINTAINING
QUALITY OF CARE AND SAFETY FOR
PATIENTS AND STAFF OF GUIDING
PRINCIPLES FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
HOSPITALS EVERY DAY. WELL THIS
BILL SEEKS TO PROMOTE PATIENT
SAFETY AND WORKER PROTECTIONS
WE COULD IN FACT DO THE
OPPOSITE. WE OPPOSE THIS BILL
BECAUSE IT IS ON WARRANTED AND
REPLICATES EXISTING REGULATIONS
IN BOTH THE BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS AND HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE. AND HEART
COLLECTIVITIES WITH HEALTH
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND
DECISION SUPPORT- ALREADY IN
PLACE. THIS BILL IS PREDICATED
ON THE IMPLICIT BIAS FOUND IN
AN ALGORITHM USED BY OPTUM INTO
FINDING OUT PATIENTS TO HIGH
INTENSITY OUTPATIENT CARE. TO
AN ALGORITHM THAT DEALS WITH
CLINIC PATIENTS NOT WITH
HOSPITAL PATIENTS. IF THE
SUPPORTERS OF THIS BILL HAVE
PAINTED HOSPITAL CLINICAL
DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS WITH A
BROAD BRUSH OF IMPLICIT BIAS
WHICH IS UNWARRANTED. THE
ALGORITHMS ARE TEENS DEVELOP
ARE BASED ON THE HIGHEST
QUALITY MEDICAL EVIDENCE FROM
MEDICAL LITERATURE. IN OUR
DEVELOPED BY A MULTI
DISCIPLINARY TEAM OF DOCTORS
AND HOSPITAL STAFF INCLUDING
NURSES AND PHARMACISTS. SECOND
THE ALGORITHMS WE USE TO GUIDE
CARE IN HOSPITALS ARE RARELY
PRO SCRIPTED AND NEARLY ALWAYS
ALLOW FOR INDIVIDUALS TO OPT
OUT WITH GOOD CLINICAL
JUSTIFICATION. IN THE RARE
CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH SUCH
CHOICE IS NOT OFFERED IT IS
BECAUSE OF PATIENT SAFETY
DEMANDS THAT. BUT EVEN IN THAT
CIRCUMSTANCE THE HOSPITAL
EMPLOYEE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY
AND RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE ALGORITHM
UP THE CHAIN OF COMMAND. OUR
HEALTH SYSTEM LEADERSHIP HAVE A
DEEP AWARENESS OF IMPLICIT BIAS
IN HEALTH CARE AND AN EQUALLY
DEEP COMMITMENT TO DISCOVERING
AND REMEDYING THAT WHEREVER WE
FIND IT. ALL BEST PRACTICE
TEAMS THAT DEVELOP WORK WITH
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT
PROTOCOLS ARE CHARGED WITH
EVALUATING KEY CLINICAL
OUTCOMES FOR RACIAL AND ETHNIC
DISPARITIES. YOU CAN ALREADY
INCLUDE REPRESENTATION FROM
HOSPITAL STAFF IN THE FORMATION
OF THE ALGORITHMS. EDUCATION ON
NEW ALERTS AND SUPPORT TOOLS IS
PROVIDED TO STAFF BEFORE
IMPLEMENTATION. WHAT CHRONIC
CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS
HAVE BECOME A KEY METHOD FOR
HOSPITALS TO USE TO HELP SPREAD
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF EVIDENCE
BASED BEST PRACTICE. THIS BILL
WOULD TAKE A GIANT STEP
BACKWARD IN QUALITY OF CARE BY
ENCOURAGING WHOLESALE REJECTION
OF CLINICAL PRACTICE GUIDELINES
WITHOUT ANY REQUIREMENT FOR
SUPPORTING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.
THIS WOULD CREATE A DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT FOR PATIENTS BY
ENABLING AN EMPLOYEE TO IGNORE
WITH IMPUNITY CLINICAL DECISION
ALGORITHMS AIMED TOWARD
PROMOTING PATIENT SAFETY AND
IMPROVE CLINICAL OUTCOMES.
HOSPITALS ARE LIABLE FOR THE
ACTIONS OF THEIR EMPLOYEES NONE
OF THIS BILL WOULD FACE THE
IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE. OF ONGOING
LIABILITY FOR VIOLATION OF
PATIENT SAFETY RULES.
RELIABILITY FOR DISCIPLINING AN
EMPLOYEE WHO IGNORES THEM WITH
A CLAIM OF CLINICAL JUDGMENT
FOR THE ALGORITHM IS BIASED. IT
IS FOR THESE REASONS THAT WE
ASK FOR YOUR NO VOTE ON AB
EIGHT FIFTY EIGHT. THANK YOU
THANK YOU. AND ALEX HAWTHORN

THANK YOU. THERE ARE NO OTHER
LINES IN Q. OKAY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WE WILL BRING IT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE AND WE DO HAVE A
COMMOTION. ON THE FLOOR ALREADY
IS THERE ANY FURTHER COMMENT OR
QUESTION. THE CIVIC CENTER PARK.
RIGHT NOW PLEASE. I'M TRYING TO
GET GRASP ON THIS BECAUSE
THERE'S A REAL WORLD
APPLICATION OF WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT- IT'S HARD FOR.
MEDICAL STAFF WE CAN'T LET THEM
GO RENEGADE ON EVERY SITUATION
HOWEVER WHAT I'M SEEING IN THIS
BILL AND I'M TRYING TO SEE IF
THAT'S THE INTENT. IS ALLOWING.
MEDICAL STAFF TO INNOVATE IN
IRAN AND TO THIS AS IN THE
FIELD- TO SOMETIMES. RECOGNIZE
THAT THE ALGORITHM ISN'T GOING
TO WORK. AN OPERATING BASED ON
THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND HAVING A
GOOD OUTCOME FOR THAT PATIENT
IS THAT WHAT THIS IS AFTER. HE
ADDED IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT
REAL LIFE JACOB STANCE- I'LL
USE MYSELF BECAUSE WE WANTED
THINGS THAT WERE WORKING OUT
WITH CMA IS KIND OF THE
OVERRIDE DECISION WHO DEAL IN
IT YOU KNOW- YOU'VE YOU'VE BEEN
IN THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE IT'S
GOT TO BE ONE PERSON RISKS AT
SOME POINT SOMEBODY'S GOT TO BE
THE ADULT TO MAKE THAT
DECISION. SO I'M WORKING WITH
CMA AND THE NURSES TRY TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT IS AMOS
COMMITTED SOME LANGUAGE- THE
DAY DID QUITE LIGHT BUT WE'LL
KEEP WORKING ON THAT- I'M A
DIABETIC. MMHM AND WHEN I WAS
FIRST DIAGNOSED BY DOCTOR HE
IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE OF THE
ALGORITHM WHEN YOU GIVE ME
INSULIN- MET FOREMAN AND ALL
THE OTHER MARRIED OF THINGS-
AND I JUST REFUSE TO TAKE. ANY
MEDICATION TRIED TO DO IT.
MYSELF AND IT WASN'T WORKING TO
ONE DAY A NURSE WITH THE LAST
NAME DONNELLY WHOSE. BROTHER
USED TO BE THE LEAD TO TEN A
GOVERNOR GRABBED ME IN A ROW WE
START ARGUING IT SHE TOLD ME
WHAT TO DO. I LOST FORTY POUNDS
I'M OFF OF. INSULIN AND I'VE
CUT MY MET FOREMAN IN HALF FOR
THAT TEAM THE ONE THE ALGORITHM
THAT THE DOCTOR USED. TO KIND
OF LOOK AT ME AS A BLACK MAN.
WE SIR PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS.
NEED TO GET THIS KIND OF CARE
AND THIS KIND OF MEDICATION AS
OPPOSED TO. REGINALD BYRON
JONES SAWYER SENIOR. COULD DO
THIS ALTERNATIVE TYPE OF A-
REMEDY WHICH A NURSE OFFERED TO
ME WHICH PROBABLY SAVED MY LIFE
AND SO THIS IS WHAT THIS KIND
OF DOES IS WE NEED TO WORK AS A
TEAM SOMETIMES THE ALGORITHM OR
SOME TYPE OF THE DOCTOR SAYS
WORK SOMETIMES. THE NURSE WORK-
IN SOME WAY YOU MIGHT EVEN BE
ABLE TO AVOID HAVING A SECOND A
THIRD OPINION BY USING ALL
THREE IN THE SAME PLACE SO THIS
IS WHAT THIS GETS TO MAKING
SURE THAT. EVERYBODY'S WORKING
TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO GET THE
BEST MEDICAL OUTCOME. YEAH GET
THE KIDS I'M AN INCLINE
ALTHOUGH THERE IS CONCERN WITH
I'M INCLINED TO SUPPORT IT-
MOSTLY BECAUSE OF SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT I'VE SEEN OUT THERE
IN THE IN THE FIELD. AND WHERE
ARE YOU IN I CAN NAME ONE
PERSON WHO IS ALIVE TODAY
BECAUSE OF IT. AND THEN BECAUSE
WE ACT WE ACTED OUTSIDE OF THE
ALGORITHM. AND AND SAVE THE
GUYS LIFE TOOK A LOT OF CRAP
FOR IT I'M SORRY WHAT. YEAH WE
HAVE BEEN ULTIMATELY IT CAME
DOWN TO AND THAT WAS THE THING
IS YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO TAKE A
LICENSE YOU CAN BUT THAT GUY'S
ALIVE BECAUSE- WE THOUGHT OUR
FEET. AND SAVE THEM. AND SO
YEAH YOU KNOW THE DATA THINK UP
TO. THAT THE BIG ISSUE THAT
NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE
MEDICAL FIELD BUT AT THE SAME
TIME THERE IS A CONTROL FACTOR
THAT WE HAVE TO REALLY. IT
CAN'T BE THIS FREE FOR ALL BUT-
WHERE EVERYBODY JUST KIND OF
DOING THEIR OWN THING OUT THERE
SO. SO ANYWAY- STRUGGLED A
LITTLE BIT BUT YOU KNOW I'M
INCLINED TO SUPPORT IT THANK
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK
YOU MISHMASH- CAPELLA JUST
FOLLOW UP ON THAT BECAUSE- LIKE
AS- LIKE MEDICS IN THE FIELD
RIGHT WE- OPERATE UNDER SO PEAS
RIGHT UNDER A DOCTOR'S LICENSE.
RIGHT AND IF SOMETHING IS GOING
DIFFERENT WHETHER IT'S PAIN
MEDS OR OR WHATEVER CARDIAC
MEDICATIONS AT THE THIRD
MINISTRY. YOU CAN GET
PERMISSION YOU CAN CALL THE ON
CALL B. R. DOC AND GET
PERMISSION FROM A DOCTOR TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. TO WHAT YOUR
RECIPES ARE WHAT YOUR ALGORITHM
IS BRIGHT. SO I AM STRUGGLING A
LITTLE BIT LIKE. IF THAT
ALREADY EXIST OUT THERE. IF WE
CAN ALREADY DO THAT WHAT WHAT
IS THIS WHAT WE TRYING TO DO
WITH THIS PARTICULAR BILL
BECAUSE- PURSES CAN ALREADY
LIKE IF THEY SEE SOMETHING THAT
DOESN'T LOOK QUITE RIGHT. THEY
CAN ALL RIGHT TO GO TO THE
ATTENDING PHYSICIAN SAY HEY
THIS IS. GOING ON IT SEEMS A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
THE S. O. P. SAYS. SO I GUESS I
AM CURIOUS- IT ALREADY SEEMS
LIKE THIS IS IN PLACE WE JUST
MAYBE NEED TO EDUCATE. PEOPLE
DIFFERENTLY. FONG AND I'M NOT
I'M JUST CONFUSED I GUESS THIS
IS ULTIMATELY WHAT I'M SAYING
AT THE C. MAKING JUMPING BUT
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. THAT IS
NOT AS UNIVERSAL AS YOU YOU
WOULD. FOR DEMOCRATS AS A
PERMANENT DAY MAY HAVE ACCEPTED
A LOT OF THESE- METHODOLOGY BUT
NOT EVERY HOSPITAL DOES AND
WHAT THIS BILL. ADDRESSES ITS
EXACT WHICH YOU'RE SAYING HOW
DO WE MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY'S KIND OF FOLLOWING
THE SAME PROCEDURE STATEWIDE.
CADETS UNDER OUR PURVIEW MAYBE
IN YOUR AREA. EVEN WHEN YOU DID
YOUR PRACTICE WHEN YOU ARE OUT
THERE IN THE FIELD IT WAS SO
WELL BUT IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING
IT'S NOT MISLEAD THAT WAY ALL
THE WAY. AND IN RETALIATION
PART IS REALLY IMPORTANT COULD
YOU. YOU DON'T WANT TO GET TO A
POINT WHERE YOU. MAKE A
RECOMMENDATION AND THE NEXT
THING YOU LOSE YOUR JOB YOU'RE
YOU'RE DISCIPLINED. AND YOU'VE
SAVE SOMEONE'S LIFE. FOR SURE.
M. AND I THINK YOU MAYBE THERE
IS SOME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIKE.
ATTICS IN THE FIELD VERSUS
PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE CLINICAL
SETTING AND PROBABLY SOME
DIFFERENT DECIDED NOT USE THEIR
AS WELL YEAH- I AM I'M GONNA-
STRUGGLING WITH IT BUT I. IT IS
IT'S INTERESTING TO ME SEVEN
PROJECT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
YEAH THINGS ARE GOING ON FOR
THAT THING TO. YOU KNOW THE-
TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDING HIS
FATHER THEM'S DONE ONDERS IN
THE MODERN MEDICINE ESPECIALLY
GIVEN. THE PACE OF WORK. THE A
LOT OF OUR- NURSES AND DOCTORS
ARE UNDER THAT THEY HAVE TO
RELY. ON ON SOME OF THE DATA
AND SOME OF THEM AS YOU STATED
DECEMBER. YOU KNOW AS THAT. DID
TO GIVE A SENSE OF SETTING THE
STAGE CAN WHAT IS. THE WHAT
WHAT WHAT ARE WE DEALING WITH
HERE THEY CAN USE A LOT OF DATA
POINTS AND THERE'S NO DOUBT
THAT THE TECHNOLOGY. IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BUT WE
ARE. ALSO HAS SOME FAITH IN HIM
AND THOSE THAT ARE DOING THE
WORK THEY'RE NOT GONNA. GO
ROGAN ABANDON THE TECHNOLOGY.
ABANDONED ALGORITHMS- YOU KNOW
JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT THEY'RE
GOING TO DO IT WHEN THEY REALLY
SEE A NEED TO. AND WE ALSO NEED
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ALGORITHMS.
WILL PERPETUATE SYSTEMIC
BIASES. AND THAT'S A REALITY
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT. COST BEING A FACTOR.
INCORPORATED INTO THOSE
ALGORITHMS AND SO ALL OF US
INCLUDING THOSE IN THE MEDICAL
FIELD I THINK THOSE THAT. SPOKE
IN OPPOSITION ARE VERY
EARNESTLY WORKING. ON ROOTING
OUT THE SYSTEMIC BIASES BUT
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT
AND THE REALITIES UNTIL IT
DOES. ALGORITHMS ARE GOING TO
INCORPORATE THE EXISTING
SOCIETY THAT WERE IN INCLUDING
THE DATA POINTS THE DATA THAT'S
BEING IMPORTED. OVER MANY CASES
MANY MANY YEARS- AND SO I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING- I
DO THINK THAT YOU KOW THERE'S
A COUPLE SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE.
IN THE IN THE STAFF ANALYSIS TO
TIGHTEN UP SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT I THINK THAT- YOU'RE GOING
IN A GOD DIRECTION- AND- IT'S
ENCOURAGING TO HEAR EVEN SOME
OF THE OPPOSITION. THE GROUP-
SPENT OVER WORKING WITH YOUR
WINE TO WORK MORE WITH YOU IF
THERE'S OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT
GOING FORWARD. SO WITH THAT WE
DO HAVE A MOTION WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK

CALIFORNIA RURAL LEGAL
ASSISTANCE WE PROVIDE LEGAL
SERVICES TO RURAL COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA WITH AN
EMPHASIS ON REPRESENTING
FARMWORKERS INCLUDING H. TWO A.
WORKERS WE SUPPORT THIS BILL
BECAUSE MANY OF THE H. TWO A.
WORKERS COMING IN ARE DOING SO
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
CALIFORNIA THERE ARE EMPLOYERS
CONTROL WHERE WHEN DID THEY GET
INTO THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY
LIVE. WITH THEIR ROOMMATES ARE.
AND AFTER EMPLOYER PROVIDED
HOUSING THEY ARE ASSIGNED A BUS
OR VAN AND A TIME TO GET ON IT.

FIELDS AND OTHER EMPLOYER SENT
A BUS TO PICK THEM UP AT NIGHT.
IN OUR H. TWO A. CASES WHEN A
WORKER PRESENTS THE PROBLEM IT

ABOUT. AND OUR UNIQUE TO
CALIFORNIA LAW. THESE INCLUDE
UNPAID TRANSPORTATION TIME
UNPAID OVERTIME DENIAL OF

WE EXPLAIN THESE RIGHTS TO
WORKERS ARE FRANKLY SHOCKED
THEY HAVE BEEN DENIED
PROTECTIONS AND ROBBED OF
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF.
DOLLARS TO PAY THAT THEY HAD
NO. KNOWLEDGE THEY HAD THE
RIGHT TO. THIS BILL PROTECTS H.
TWO A. WORKERS BY ENSURING THAT
THEY KNOW THEIR RIGHTS.
INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO PAYMENT
FOR EMPLOYER CONTROL
TRANSPORTATION. WHAT OTHER
CONTRACTS IN PLACARDS ON THE
BUS OF THE STATE THAT THEIR
TRANSPORTATION IS VOLUNTARY IT
IS ANYTHING BUT AND THE FAILURE
TO PAY FOR THAT TIME IS WAGE
THEFT. THIS IS TACITLY
ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE GROWERS AND
FARM LABOR CONTRACTOR WHICH
WOULD SETTLE THESE CASES WITH
US. FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
PAYING THE WAGES OF THOUSANDS

EMPLOYERS DISTRACTIONS- TO BE
CLEAR EMPLOYERS EVEN THOSE UP
PERFECT COMPLIANCE EVERY STATE
LOCAL AND COUNTY GUIDANCE
DOCUMENT CONCORD NINETEEN. CAN
EXPERIENCE OUTBREAK BASED ON
THE CONDUCT OF THEIR EMPLOYEES
OUTSIDE OF WORK A PERFECT
EXAMPLE IS A FEW EMPLOYEES OR
CLOSE FRIENDS GO TO A DINNER
PARTY IN A WEEKEND. AND THEY
BELIEVE THEY ARE SAFE BUT NAY
THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO COVER THE
NEIGHBORING THAT'S THE
WORKPLACE THAT NOW BECOMES AN
OUTBREAK REGARDLESS OF WHAT ON
IT SENATE THE WORKPLACE ANYWAY
AND THAT LEAD TO THE EMPLOYER
BEING LISTED HERE BUT THE
EMPLOYER HAS LITERALLY DONE
NOTHING. WRONG WITH THAT MERRY-

FURTHER LINES INTO AT THIS
TIME. THANK YOU WILL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR
MOTIONS. I REQUEST YES SERVERS
ARE- THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD AND ALSO THAT I
HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CDPH HAVE
YOU COMMUNICATED WITH THEM
ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO EVEN
HANDLE THIS BECAUSE IT SEEMS
LIKE IT HAS A REALLY QUICK- AS
SOME OF THE SPEAKERS ARE
POINTING OUT- IT NEEDS A REALLY
QUICK TURNAROUND. AND I HAVEN'T
FOUND ANYTHING IN OUR STATE
THAT HAS A REALLY QUICK
TURNAROUND AT THIS POINT. SO
HAVE YOU TALKED TO THEM ABOUT
THEIR ABILITY EVEN. HAVE THE
CAPABILITY OF MAKING THIS TYPE
OF THING EFFECTIVE. IT WE HAVE
HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM AND
ALSO WITH THE ADMINISTRATION ON
EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THEY'RE
GOING TO NEED. IT IF SOMETHING
HAS TO BE ADDED- BUT THERE HAVE
BEEN COMMUNICATIONS WITH THEM
SO THEY'LL HAVE TO THE HOT DEAL
RAMP UP TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
THE INFORMATION IS BEING
PROVIDED TO THEM IT'S A MATTER
OF PRO OF INCLUDING IT IN THE
REPORTING. I THINK. FRAZIER
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND- I
KNOW WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS
BILL FOR A YEAR NOW AND- I KNOW
THIS IS A CLEAN UP BILL BUT-
CURRENTLY. AN OUTBREAK AS THREE
OR MORE CORRECT. IN THIS STATE
WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK ABOUT
LIKE NOT DICTATING WHAT PEOPLE
CAN AND CAN'T DO RIGHT I MEAN
WE LIVE AND LET LIVE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BUT THEN
WE'RE GOING TO HOLD. THE
BUSINESS ACCOUNTABLE FOUR THANK
THE PEOPLE WHO OUTSIDE OF THE
WORKPLACE. AND THREE PEOPLE AND
WE HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS I MEAN
IN MY DISTRICT HAVE LARGE
EMPLOYERS EMPLOYEES MULTIPLE
FAMILIES MULTIPLE FROM THE SAME
FAMILY. IF THEY'RE HANGING OUT
AT A DINNER. OR IN THE BARBECUE
IN THE BACKYARD AND THEY BRING
IT TO THE WORKPLACE. HOW IN
GOOD FAITH AND WE HOLD THE
BUSINESS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE- I
THINK IT'S A HUGE CONCERN WE
HAVE WITH THIS BECAUSE- WHEN IT
COMES TO ADD IN MANUFACTURING
IT IS VERY COMMUNAL. BUT A LOT
OF FAMILIES THAT WORK VERY
CLOSELY TOGETHER. IT'S NOT
NECESSARILY THAT THE BUSINESS
IS EXPECTED. IF THEY CAN PROVE
THAT THEY FOLLOWED STATE LOCAL
AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES TO
PREVENT THIS SO I DO HAVE SOME
MAJOR CONCERNS I WOULD LOVE IF
YOU COULD RESPOND TO THAT. THE
CAPSULE I THINK THAT WHAT. SIX
EIGHTY FIVE WAS ABOUT REPORTING
ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT EVERY
EMPLOYEE KNEW WHEN THEY HAVE
BEEN EXPOSED. TO COVERT THAT'S
WHAT'S EXCITING FIGHT WAS
ABOUT. AND THEN IT WAS
REQUIRING THE EMPLOYERS TO
REPORT THAT SO THAT WE COULD
KNOW WHERE THE OUTBREAKS WORK.
AND AT THE DEPARTMENT PUBLIC
HEALTH- COULD THEN FIGURE OUT
WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AT THAT
PARTICULAR EMPLOYERS LOOK
LOCATION. THERE IS NOTHING
ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY THIS IS
NOT TO SAY THAT. THAT THAT THAT
THE EMPLOYERS RESPONSIBLE OR
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COVE IT
IS JUST TALKING ABOUT. MAKING
SURE THAT THE THAT THE EMPLOYEE
KNOWS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
EXPOSED THAT'S IT. WHAT THIS
DOES IS IT MAKES SURE THAT WE
SAY IT'S INDUSTRY AND WORKPLACE
BECAUSE THE LANGUAGE THAT WAS
PUT IS WHAT. INDUSTRY
WORKPLACE. AND IF THE ALTHOUGH
AND IN THE ANALYSIS IT DOES SAY
AB SIXTY FIVE PROVIDED A
MECHANISM FOR DEPARTMENT PUBLIC
HEALTH TO COLLECT. AND PUBLISH
COBIT NINETEEN OUTBREAKS BY
WORKPLACE AND INDUSTRY. BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THAT IT HASN'T
BEEN DONE SO WE WANT TO CLEAR
IT UP AND SAY WE ARE EXPECTING
BOTH INDUSTRY AND WORKPLACE.
THE SECOND PART TO THIS AND ONE
OF THE- WHAT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO
CALLED AND SAID THAT THE
LANGUAGE DOESN'T INCLUDE YET-
DOESN'T ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF
THE DUPLICATION AND THAT IS
CORRECT IN THE LANGUAGES AND-
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE
BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WE
DON'T WANT. ANY OF OUR
HOSPITALS FOR INSTANCE THAT
ALREADY HAVE THAT REQUIREMENT
TO REPORT WE DON'T WANT THEM TO
HAVE TO REPORT TWICE. SO THAT'S
THE OTHER PART OF THIS CLEAN UP
BUT IT'S THOSE TWO THINGS ONE
IS. INDUSTRY AND WORKPLACE SO
THAT IT ISN'T JUST INDUSTRY ON
THE REPORTING BUT IT DOESN'T
SAY WHO'S RESPONSIBLE WHO'S NOT
RESPONSIBLE IT'S ONLY THE
REPORTING IT'S ONLY BE
GATHERING INFORMATION. AND THE
SECOND PART IS MAKING SURE THAT
WE'RE NOT REQUIRING ANYBODY TO
REPORT TWICE BECAUSE GOING TO
TAKE THEM TOOK TWICE AS LONG IT
MAY SEEM TO BE THE SAME REPORT.
BUT IF THEY HAVE TO INPUT IT
AGAIN IT WE DON'T WE THAT'S
UNFAIR TO THOSE TWO THAT WAS
LIKE MEDICAL FACILITIES AND THE
LIKE TO HELP THEM. PREPARE TWO
DIFFERENT REPORTS SO ONCE
SOMETHING HAPPENS RIGHT THERE'S
A OUTBREAK. AND THEY GET PUT ON
THIS LIST RIGHT WHAT HAPPENS
THEN. NOTHING IT'S JUST TO LET
THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT THERE
WAS AN OUTBREAK THERE. AS TO
WHO'S RESPONSIBLE OR NOT
RESPONSIBLE THIS BILL AND MY
PRIOR BILL HAD NOTHING TO DO
WITH WHO'S RESPONSIBLE IT HAS
TO DO WITH MAKING SURE THAT A
WORKER KNOWS THEY'VE BEEN
EXPOSED. AND MAKING SURE THE
COMMUNITY KNOWS WHEN THERE'S AN
OUTBREAK AT ONE OF THE WORK
PLACES IN THEIR COMMUNITY RIGHT
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT IF WE
ARE GOING TO PRINT. THE NAME OF
A BUSINESS ON A- PUBLICATION
THAT THE COMMUNITY KNOWS. THIS
IS THAT CAN THAT BUSINESS IS
BAD THEY'RE GOING TO. A QUOTE
UNQUOTE BLACKBALLED FOR ONE WAY
OR THE OTHER EVEN THOUGH. IT'S
NOT NECESSARILY THEIR FAULT.
JUST LIKE THE COMMUNITY I WOULD
NEVER WANT LIKE INDIVIDUALS
NAMES BEING PRINTED RIGHT THAT
WOULD BE TERRIBLE. AT THE HIPPA
VIOLATIONS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH
THAT. ON THE SAME SIDE THAT IF
A BUSINESS IS FOLLOWING ALL
THESE PROTOCOLS IN DOING THE
RIGHT THING. I THINK THERE
SHOULD BE SOME PROTECTIONS IN
THE FORM BECAUSE IT'S NOT FAIR
TO HAVE THEIR NAME GETTING
PUBLICLY SHAMED. ON SOMETHING
THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL NOW
THEY'RE BAD ACTORS THAT ARE
DOING NONE OF THIS. FAIR GAME
BLOCK OF I'M GOOD. AND SO IT'S
REALLY THE FOLKS THAT ARE DOING
EVERYTHING PROPERLY IN ORDER
THAT I'VE GOT MY CONCERT WITH
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THANK
YOU. THANKS FOR. ANY OTHER
CUSTOMERS WITH EMOTION. THE
BILL. OKAY SOLUTION A SECOND.
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD IN A LOT OF LAST YEAR
IN THE MIDST OF THE PANDEMIC
FOR YOU TO GET A BILL TO GET
THAT THROUGH I THINK CRITICAL-
AGAIN THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING
EMPLOYEE EMPLOYERS THIS IS
ABOUT A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
AND MAKING SURE THAT THOSE THAT
ARE. BUT IF THEY KNOW IT OR NOT
AND YOU WANT THEM TO KNOW IT.
DOESN'T RISK ANDDO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT. AND IT'S REALLY
ESPECIALLY A WORKPLACE IS
OBVIOUSLY A COMMON- A PLACE
THAT I THINK FOLKS SHOULD KNOW.
OF IF THERE'S BEEN ANY KIND OF
BREAKS THEN THEY CAN TAKE A
PROOF OF PROACTIVE STEPS. AFTER
