WHENEVER YOU'RE READY
A GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
AND COLLEAGUES PROUD TO
PRESENT DAY A. B.
SEVEN SEVEN EIGHT THIS IS A
BIPARTISAN BILL THAT DEALS
WITH THE STATE INSTITUTIONS
AND THE PROCUREMENT OF
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS
AB SEVEN SEVEN EIGHT WOOD
DIRECTOR STATE INSTITUTIONS AND
SCHOOLS TO PURCHASE CALIFORNIA
GROWN FOOD WHEN AVAILABLE AND
WERE NOT AVAILABLE THEY WOULD
BE REQUIRED TO GIVE PREFERENCE
TO US GROWN FOOD OVER FOREIGN
FOOD CURRENT LAW DIRECTS OUR
INSTITUTION INSTITUTIONS TO
GIVE PREFERENCE FOR FOOD GROWN
IN THE STATE WHEN THE PRICE
OF CALIFORNIA PRODUCE DOES NOT
EXCEED THE OTHER STATE PROGRAMS
BY MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT
HOWEVER CURRENT LAW EXEMPTS OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES
WHICH ARE AMONG THE LARGEST
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONAL PURCHASERS
OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS WHILE
FEDERAL LONG TO THE BUY AMERICA
PROVISION THAT REQUIRES SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO PURCHASE DOMESTIC
COMMODITIES AND PRODUCTS FOR
SCHOOL MEALS LOOPHOLES IN THE
LAW ALLOWS SCHOOLS TO PURCHASE
CHEAPER FOREIGN PRODUCTS
INSTEAD OF CALIFORNIA GROWN
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS FOR
EXAMPLE THE SACRAMENTO BEE
STORY IN TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN
FOUND THAT THE SACRAMENTO
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
PURCHASE CANNED PEACHES AND
MIXED FRUIT FROM CHINA IN
VIOLATION OF BUY AMERICA
POLICIES EVEN THOUGH NEARLY ALL
US CANNED PEACHES AND PLASTIC
PACKAGE PEACHES ARE GROWN HERE
IN CALIFORNIA FURTHERMORE IN
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN THE
STATE AUDITOR ISSUED A REPORT
THAT FOUND THAT NONE OF THE
SIX SCHOOL DISTRICTS REVIEW
REVIEWED HAVE ADEQUATE POLICIES
AND PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT
BUY AMERICA LAWS AND THEY HAD
TO PURCHASE FOREIGN SOURCE
FOOD ITEMS BUT DID NOT HAVE
ADEQUATE DOCUMENTATION TO
JUSTIFY THOSE PURCHASES DESPITE
OUR STATE AGRICULTURAL STRENGTH
PRODUCERS FACE COMPETITION
FROM NON DOMESTIC PRODUCERS IN
CHINA MEXICO ANOTHER NATIONS
THAT DO NOT HAVE THE SAME
LABOR ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AND QUALITY CONTROL AS WE DO
SOMETHING THAT WE ARE EXTREMELY
PROUD OF -- IN ORDER TO KEEP
CALIFORNIANS SAFE CALIFORNIA
INSTITUTION SPEND NEARLY THREE
HUNDRED MILLION ANNUALLY ON
FOOD PURCHASING AND CALIFORNIA
SCHOOLS ARE ESTIMATED TO SPEND
BETWEEN FIVE HUNDRED AND NEARLY
SEVEN HUNDRED MILLION ANNUALLY
ON DIRECT FOOD PURCHASES THIS
IS NEARLY ONE BILLION THAT
THE STATE COULD BE DIRECTED
TOWARD SUPPORTING CALIFORNIA
FARMERS I'M NOT FARMWORKERS
BY PURCHASING CALIFORNIA
GROWN FOOD CALIFORNIA'S
ECONOMY BENEFITS WHEN STATE
INSTITUTIONS DIRECT PURCHASING
POWER TORQUE CALIFORNIA GROWN
PRODUCTS AND FARMERS REINVEST
THIS MONEY BACK INTO THEIR
ESSENTIAL WORKFORCE THE ECONOMY
AND THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES WE
SHOULD BE GIVING OUR FARMERS
THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT AS I THINK
WE ALL WOULD AGREE CALIFORNIA
STATE AGRICULTURE PRODUCTS
ARE THE BEST IN THE NATION
AND PERHAPS EVEN IN THE WORLD
COMMITTING TO BUY CALIFORNIA
GROWN IN A PROGRAM LIKE
THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL THE BILL
ENJOYS THE SUPPORT OF EVERY
COUNTY FARM BUREAU AND EVERY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FROM THE

I THINK YOU LET'S SEE ADVISED
HER PATTERSON OUT YOUR UP
NEXT WHENEVER YOU ARE READY
THANK YOU CHAIR AND AND MEMBERS
UP HERE TO PRESENT AB EIGHT
EIGHT FOUR THIS IS A BILL
THAT WILL CHANGE THE EXISTING
REQUIREMENT THAT LARGE STATE
AGENCIES MERELY CONSIDER
CONDUCTING INTERNAL AUDITS
AND INSTEAD MAKE THESE AUDITS
MANDATORY IT WOULD ALSO
ELIMINATE THE ABILITY FOR
AGENCIES TO KEEP THESE AUDITS
SECRET UNDER CURRENT LAW MANY
STATE AGENCIES ARE REQUIRED
TO CONSIDER ESTABLISHING AN
ONGOING AUDIT FUNCTION HOWEVER
ONLY HALF OF THE AGENCIES THAT
MEET THIS REQUIREMENT HAVE DONE
SO THIS LEAVES NEARLY FORTY
AGENCIES WHICH CONTROL MORE
THAN TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS IN
SPENDING WITHOUT ANY ONGOING
INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTION FOR
THE AGENCIES THAT DO CONDUCT
AUDITS MOST KEEP THOSE REPORTS
ENTIRELY HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC
REQUIRING ONGOING AUDITS WILL
IMPROVE THE INTEGRITY AND THE
EFFICIENCY OF STATE GOVERNMENT
IT WILL ENSURE THAT TAXPAYER
DOLLARS ARE USED EFFICIENTLY
AND EFFECTIVELY AND THAT THE
PUBLIC CAN HACK HAVE ACCESS
TO THE CONTENTS AND THE
CONCLUSIONS OF OF THE AUDITS
SO BY MAKING THESE AUDITS
OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WE WILL
PREVENT AGENCIES FROM HIDING
MAJOR ISSUES WHICH HAS BEEN
UNFORTUNATELY THE PRACTICE M.

CHANGE THAT -- THIS BILL

CALIFORNIA BY TWENTY TWENTY
WE MUST TACKLE THE EMISSIONS
FROM THE INDUSTRY BEFORE
IT GETS EVEN WORSE RIGHT
NOW MORE THAN SEVEN PERCENT

BUT ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY
HAVE ALLOWED THE INDUSTRY TO
PRODUCE LOWER CARBON CONCRETE
MIXTURES THAT MEET THE SAME
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS BUT
WITH REDUCE GHGS AB THIRTEEN
