MORNING THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS WE KNOW THAT
CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO
EXPERIENCE A SEVERE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CRISIS WITH THE
DEFICIENCY OF THREE MILLION
HOMES AND GROWING THIS ISSUE IS
EXACERBATED IN THE RESIDENTIAL
AREAS OF THE COASTAL ZONE WHERE
DEVELOPMENTS FACE SERIOUS
CHALLENGES NOW EIGHTY USE AND
SUPPORT HOUSING CAN PROVIDE
SOLUTIONS TO HELP THE CURRENT
HOUSING CRISIS FOR MIDDLE AND
LOWER INCOME CALIFORNIANS. YET
THEY ARE UNDER UTILIZED IN THE
COASTAL ZONE IN PART DUE TO THE
TIME INTENSIVE COASTAL
DEVELOPMENT PERMIT PROCESS AT
THE LEGISLATURE HAS IN RECENT
YEARS PASS LAWS TO STREAMLINE
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS HE'S
FOR EIGHTY YEARS IN SUPPORT OF
HOUSING HOWEVER WHILE DOES HELP
CITIES THEY DID NOT EXTEND TO
THE CD P. PROCESS WHICH ARE A
STATE PROCESS THIS BILL
ADDRESSES THAT. THE CALIFORNIA
COASTAL COMMISSION HAS TAKEN
STEPS TO CLARIFY THE REGULATORY
PROCESS FOR LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
TO ADOPT HOWEVER IT IS NOT
EXPRESSLY WITHIN THE COMMISSION
SCOPE TO PROMOTE SOLUTIONS IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE WITH
OPPOSITION FROM THE COMMISSION
THE LEGISLATURE AMENDED THE
COASTAL ACT TO REMOVE LOW AND
MODERATE INCOME HOUSING
POLICIES FROM ITS JURISDICTION
SO AB FIVE HUNDRED WILL
REINSTATE THE COASTAL ACT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING POLICIES
THAT WERE REPEALED FORTY YEARS
AGO. AND GIVE THE COMMISSION
THE AUTHORITY TO PROTECT
EXISTING AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND
ENSURE THAT NEW AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IS CONSISTENT WITH
COASTAL ACT POLICIES THE BILL
ALSO REQUIRES LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO UPDATE AND
STREAMLINE THE REGULATORY C. P.
PROCESS FOR EDUS JUNIOR EIGHTY
USE AND SUPPORT OF HOUSING
WITHIN THE COASTAL ZONE. I'M
WORKING WITH THE COMMISSION TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE REQUIREMENT
ITSELF A SIMPLE AN EXPEDITIOUS
THE BILL RETAIN SUPPORT FOR THE
EVALUATION PROTECTION OF
SENSITIVE NATURAL RESOURCES IN
THE COASTAL TOWN WHILE REMOVING
BARRIERS FOR EIGHTY YEARS IN
SUPPORT OF HOUSING ALONG
COASTAL COMMUNITIES SO BY
APPROVING AB FIVE HUNDRED
COASTAL COMMUNITIES WILL HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH
THE COMMISSION TO PROVIDE NEW
HOUSING SOLUTIONS. AND TO
ENSURE THAT NOT JUST VISITORS
SERVING ACCOMMODATIONS BUT ALSO
RESIDENTIAL ACCESS TO THE COAST
IS BETTER AFFORDED TO ALL
CALIFORNIANS I'D LIKE TO
PRESENT MY WITNESS IN SUPPORT.
OF THE BILL SIR CHRISTIE WHO IS
IN THE- THE COMMITTEE ROOM TO
AIMED. AT LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION
AND BILL PRINCE LUCKY EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR FOR PEOPLE ORGANIZED
FOR WESTSIDE RENEWAL OR POWER
WHO IS ON THE LINE. THANK YOU
WILL GO AHEAD AND START WITH
SERRA CHRISTIE. GOOD MORNING
CHAIRED MEMBERS I'M SURE
CHRISTY THE COASTAL
COMMISSION'S LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR AND I'M HERE TODAY
REPRESENTING THE COMMISSION'S
UNANIMOUS SUPPORT OF AB FIVE
HUNDRED YOU'RE ALL VERY AWARE
OF COSTA LACK POLICIES
PROTECTING PUBLIC ACCESS TO
NATURAL RESOURCES SUCH AS
WETLANDS AND SENSITIVE HABITAT
BUT YOU MAY NOT KNOW THAT WHEN
THE COASTAL ACT WAS ORIGINALLY
PASSED IN NINETEEN SEVENTY SIX
IT ALSO CONTAINED A POLICY.
PROTECTING AND PROVIDED FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE
COASTAL ZONE. FOR THE FIRST
FIVE YEARS OF THE PROGRAM THE
COMMISSION AUTHORIZED THE
CONSTRUCTION OF OVER FIVE
THOUSAND DEED RESTRICTED
AFFORDABLE UNITS WITHIN MARKET
RATE SUBDIVISIONS THAT WERE
SPRINGING UP ALONG THE
CALIFORNIA COAST FROM MISSION
VIEJO TO SANTA CRUZ. THE
COMMISSION ALSO PREVENTED THE
DEMOLITION OF OVER ELEVEN
HUNDRED EXISTING UNITS. AND
COLLECTED TWO MILLION DOLLARS
IN IN LIEU FEES. BUT AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WAS AS CONTROVERSIAL
THEN AS IT IS TODAY SO IN
NINETEEN EIGHTY ONE THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED A BILL
REPEALING THE COMMISSION'S
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AUTHORITY.
AND EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO DEMOLISH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN THE
COASTAL ZONE. IT PROHIBITED THE
COMMISSION FROM ACQUIRING
HOUSING PROGRAMS IN L. C. PEAS
AND IT AUTHORIZED DEVELOPERS
WITH EXISTING PERMIT CONDITIONS
TO GET OUT OF THEIR OBLIGATIONS
TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE UNITS. AS
A RESULT ONLY THIRTEEN HUNDRED
OF THOSE FIVE THOUSAND
INCLUSIONARY UNITS WERE EVER
BUILT. IMAGINE WHAT CALIFORNIA
WOULD LOOK LIKE TODAY IF THE
COMMISSION HAD BEEN ABLE TO
CONTINUE PROMOTING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN THE COASTAL ZONE FOR
THE LAST FORTY YEARS. AB FIVE
HUNDRED WOULD RESTORE THE COSTA
LACKS AFFORDABLE HOUSING
POLICIES AND REPEAL THE
PROHIBITION ON LC PEAS. IT
WOULD ALSO ALLOW THE COMMISSION
TO PROVIDE FOR GREATER
RESIDENTIAL DENSITY IN AREAS
WITH ADEQUATE TRANSIT THAT ARE
NOT SUBJECT TO SEA LEVEL RISE.
FINALLY IT WOULD REQUIRE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO UPDATE L. C.
PIECE TO REFLECT REAP RECENT
CHANGES TO EIGHTY YOU IN
SUPPORT OF HOUSING LAWS.
SOMETHING THE COMMISSION HAS
BEEN RECOMMENDING SINCE TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. MEMBERS THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO UNDO THE
MISTAKES OF THE PAST. AND
RESTORE THE COSTA LACKS
ORIGINAL INTENT OF A COASTLINE
THAT IS NOT ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO
ALL. BUT LIVABLE AS WELL. THANK

THANK YOU. ONE MOMENT. NINE
THIRTY NINE PLEASE GO AHEAD.
THIRTY NINE YOUR LINE IS OPEN.
THERE ARE NO OTHER LINES IN
OPPOSITION OR SUPPORT THANK YOU
DO WE HAVE ANY THANK YOU
WITNESSES IN THE HEARING ROOM.
C. NINE ANY WITNESSES THAT THE
REMOTE TESTIMONY I DON'T SEE
ANY- ANY QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE. MR STONE
THANK YOU THINK YOU RESTORED
FOR BRINGING THIS I THINK ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T
QUITE UNDERSTAND YOU TOUCHED ON.
IS THAT BECAUSE ONCE THE
ABILITY TO TALK ABOUT
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WAS REMOVED
FROM THE ACT. THEN AS
JURISDICTIONS ARE TRYING TO
DEAL WITH SHORT TERM RENTALS
WITH ANY OTHER WARDENS THE
COMMISSION IS ONLY LOOKING AT
THOSE POTENTIAL ORDINANCES
THROUGH THE LENS. OF ACCESS AND
VISITOR SERVING ACCOMMODATIONS
AND CANNOT BALANCE THE NEED FOR
LOCAL HOUSING. THIS IS WHAT.
THIS IS THE RIGHT APPROACH TO
GET THE COMMISSION TO
APPROPRIATELY CONSIDER. THE
IMPACT OF HOUSING ON A LOT OF
THE OTHER DECISIONS THAT THAT
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS ARE MAKING.
IT WAS TOO BAD THAT THIS WAS
TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM. BECAUSE
THAT THAT IMBALANCES REALLY
SHOWED OVER THE YEARS AS LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ARE TYING TO
PROTECT NEIGHBORHOODS TRY TO
PROTECT HOUSING. AND ESTABLISH
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING SO I
APPRECIATE THAT YOU BROUGHT
THIS I THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY
THE RIGHT WAY TO GO. THANK YOU
SOME NUMBERS THAT I WITNESSED
AS WELL TOO WHEN I SERVED ON
LOCAL GOVERNMENT THE LAST FOUR
YEARS AND- AND SO THIS IS AN
AUTHOR SPONSORED BILL I SEE TO
CORRECT THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE
TO MOVE WILL. THANK YOU. HAVE A
QUESTION. SMITH THANK YOU HAVE
A CERTAIN TRYING TO GET A GREAT
ON SOME OF THE MAYBE THE
COLLATERAL DAMAGE FROM HAVING
ANOTHER LAYER OF APPROVAL
PROCESS. AND MR STONE BROUGHT
UP A GOOD POINT IN THAT'S THE
COASTAL ACCESS POINT. OF I
GUESS MY QUESTION IS SO. IS
THIS BILL MEANT TO ALLOW THE
COASTAL COMMISSION TO SAVE THAT
TO THE BUNGALOWS THAT ARE ON
THE SIDE YOU KNOW ON YOU KNOW
IN EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS.
BECAUSE THOSE BUNGALOWS EVEN
THOUGH THEY'RE SMALL IN
STATURE- THEY COME WITH A
MIGHTY PRICE TAG. SO NINETY
PRICE TAG IS UP YOU KNOW
SOMEBODY OWNS THAT AND ALTHOUGH
IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A-
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
JACKETS ACTUALLY IF IT'S ON THE
STRAND IN MANHATTAN BEACH IT'S
A SIX MILLION DOLLAR PIECE OF
PROPERTY. AND WOULD THIS
RESTRICT THEM. WITH THIS MAKE
THEM HAVE TO GO THROUGH AND
PROVE THAT THEY'RE DOING SOME
OF THESE TO BE ABLE TO UTILIZE
THEIR LAND OR SELL THEIR LAND
IN LETTER DEVELOPER BUILD WHAT
THEY'RE GONNA BUILD THERE
BECAUSE- ALSO LAND ITSELF. IS
WHERE THE- THAT THAT'S WHERE
THE COST IS YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT AS A MEMBER C. R. DOES SO
THE ANSWERS ARE YES AND NO- IT
DOESN'T. SO NATURALLY OCCURRING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOME OF THE
OLDER STRUCTURES THAT ARE THERE
MIGHT STILL. BE AVAILABLE FOR
SLIGHTLY CHEAPER RENT BUT SO
SHOULD SOMEBODY WANT TO
REDEVELOP THE PROPERTY- THEY
THEY PROBABLY GOING TO BE DOING
SOMETHING THAT'S A LITTLE MORE
LUXURY LITTLE MORE HIGH VALUE.
WHAT THIS COULD ALLOW FOR IS
THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE
COASTAL COMMISSION IN ADDITION
TO THE LOCAL JURISDICTION TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE NET NUMBER
OF UNITS THAT WERE THERE THE
NATURALLY CURL FOR LOWER INCOME
OR LOWER RENTAL. PROPERTIES ARE
SOMEHOW RETAINED. I'M I JUST
FEAR THAT THE- PRICES AT THE
BEACH OUR OUR ON THE COASTAL.
SECTION OF THE STATE ARE ARE
SIMPLY OUT OF THE CONTROL OF
GOVERNMENT I THINK IT'S MORE OF
A MARKETING ISSUE- I DON'T
THINK THERE'S ANY WAY TO MAKE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING AT IN THE
COAST AREA AND SO I'M NOT QUITE
SURE WHAT ADDING THIS LAYER- OF
PROCESS TO. MAKE EXISTING
DEVELOPMENT DOWN THERE IT'S
GOING TO HELP YOU KNOW THIS
SUBSIDY BUILDING AFFORDABLE
PROJECT DOWN THERE THERE'S GOT
TO BE HUGE. AND THEN WHEN YOU
GET PAST THE BUILDING COSTS AS
SOON AS THE THINGS THAT. YOU
KNOW THAT PROPERTY IS WORTH WAY
MORE THAN YOU BOUGHT IT EVEN IF
YOU DEED RESTRICTED I AGREE
WITH YOU THERE'S A LOT OF
MARKET BASED- CONSIDERATIONS
THAT GO INTO THE HOUSING-
HOUSING PRICING- BUT IT'S NOT
ALWAYS A SUBSIDY RELATED
SOLUTIONS THIS ALSO CAN BE ABLE
TO PROMOTE. SOME CONVERSATIONS
THAT OFFER INCENTIVE BASED
SOLUTIONS TO BE ABLE TO RETAIN
OR EVEN DEVELOP MORE MIXED
INCOME MIXED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- IN ADDITION TO MARKET
RATE HOUSING. WELL THEY THEY
TAXPAYERS THAT SUBSIDIZE THAT
NEED TO GET THE BANG FOR THEIR
BUCK AND THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
GET AT THE COAST THAT'S WHAT
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT I SEE THE
WITNESS HAS. A POTENTIAL.
QUESTION ANSWERS TO MY QUESTION
WITH WITH THE CHAIR IN THE
AUTHOR'S PERMISSION ASSEMBLY
MEMBER SEATTLE. I'M THE AUTHOR
WOULD YOU LIKE HER TO CONTEST
THANK YOU WANT TO COME AND GO
HEAD ASSEMBLY MEMBER I WOULD I
WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE
COMMISSION IN ITS FIFTY YEAR
HISTORY HAS NEVER DENIED AN
AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT. SO
I JUST WANT TO GET THAT ON
THERE FOR THE RECORD. BUT WE'RE
WE'RE THIS BILL. IF THE CALLS
ON IS PRIMARILY BUILT OUT NOW
IS. RECOGNIZE AND THERE'S A LOT
OF EXPENSIVE HOUSING THERE.
WHERE THIS BILL WOULD ACTUALLY
HAVE THE MOST BENEFIT TODAY IS
THAT IN THE LOCAL COASTAL
PROGRAMS THAT ARE PREPARED BY
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT HAVE TO
BE CERTIFIED BY THE COASTAL
COMMISSION. WHEN THEY'RE BEING
PREPARED OR WEIRD WHEN THEY'RE
BEING AMENDED. THOSE ARE THE
INSTRUMENTS THAT- DESIGNATE THE
ZONING AREAS THE DENSITY THAT
TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT THE VARIOUS
PROCESSES THAT HAVE TO BE- GONE
THROUGH IN ORDER TO GET YOUR
PERMITS. AT THAT STAGE RIGHT
NOW THE COASTAL COMMISSION HAS
NO AUTHORITY. TO WORK WITH
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO INCREASE
THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR MAKE
THAT PROCESS MORE ACCESSIBLE TO
PEOPLE. BECAUSE WERE
SPECIFICALLY PROHIBITED FROM
EVEN CONSIDERING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IN THESE LAND USE PLANS
WHICH IS ABSURD. BECAUSE THE
COST LOOKS STATE OF CALIFORNIA
HAS MOVED FAR FAR BEYOND WHERE
THE COASTAL COMMISSION HAS BEEN
REQUIRED TO STAY. THIS WOULD
GIVE US ADDITIONAL SEAT AT THE
TABLE ADDITIONAL LEVERAGE IF
YOU WILL FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
THAT MAY NOT BE QUITE AS
COMMITTED AS WE WOULD LIKE THEM
TO BE TO PROVIDING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. TO GET BETTER LAND USE
PLANS TO GET BETTER ZONING MAPS
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. BECAUSE AT
THIS POINT IN CALIFORNIA. MOST
OF THE STATE MOST OF THE
COASTAL ZONE IS OPERATING UNDER
CERTIFIED LCP WE'RE NOT ISSUING
THE PERMITS ANYMORE. SO IT
WOULDN'T BE ANOTHER LAYER OF
BUREAUCRACY FOR APPROVAL IT
WOULD SIMPLY BE MAKING SURE
THAT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT THAT'S
GOING FORWARD. ACTUALLY REFER
REFLECTS THE LEGISLATURE'S
PRIORITY TO PROVIDE FOR MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IN SOME OF
THESE LEAST AFFORDABLE AREAS I
BETWEEN LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHO-
THERE'D THERE OFFICIALS ARE
DIRECT OR- FOR THE PEOPLE TO
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE. IN
IN THEIR DISTRICT. AND BUT I
THINK THAT VOICE IS BETTER
HEARD BY THE PEOPLE THEY
REPRESENT THAT COMMUNITY. AND I
THINK THERE IS A LIMITED
ABILITY I USED TO LIVE DOWN AND
IN THE BEACH AREA THAT'S WHY
KNOW ABOUT MANHATTAN BEACH- BUT
THAT WAS WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND
SINGLE- I HAD MOVED INLAND. IF
I COULD AFFORD TO LIVE DOWN
THERE AND I NEVER DREAMED THAT
I'D BE ABLE TO AFFORD I DON'T I
CAN'T STILL. SO ANYWAY. THAT'S
A LIFESTYLE CHANGE YOU MAKE
BECAUSE OF THE IN AFFORDABILITY
OF BEING AT THE BEACH I DON'T
SEE HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT
MORE AFFORDABLE. AND I THINK
CITY COUNCILS NEED TO BE ABLE
TO GRAPPLE WITH THAT- IF
THEY'RE GOING TO I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW THE COASTAL
COMMISSION. AND THE STATE
ENTERING INTO CITY COUNCIL
COASTAL CITIES ARE GOING TO
HELP FIX THAT WE'RE LOSING
DENSITY IN THE COASTAL ZONE
BECAUSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
APPROVING DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
THAT ARE. THAT ARE DEMOLISHING
EXISTING DUPLEXES TRIPLEXES AND
FOUR PLEXUS THEY MAY NOT BE
CHEAP. BUT IN THE COASTAL ZONE
THEY ARE THE MOST AFFORDABLE
HOUSING THAT IS CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
ARE APPROVING THEIR DEMOLITION.
AND REPLACING THEM WITH GIANT
STATEMENT HOMES SO WE'RE
ACTUALLY LOSING RESIDENTIAL
UNITS IN THE COASTAL ZONE
BECAUSE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS. CAN
APPROVE THAT UNDER THE MELLOW
ACT FROM FORTY YEARS AGO THERE
EXPRESSLY AUTHORIZED. TO
APPROVE THE DEMOLITION OF
EXISTING AFFORDABLE UNITS AND-
TAKE THEM OUT OF THE COASTAL
ZONE. THIS BILL WOULD ENABLE
THE COMMISSION TO STOP AT LEAST
TO STOP THAT FROM HAPPENING I
WOULD ARGUE THAT THERE ARE NO
EXISTING AFFORDABLE UNITS
ANYWHERE IN THE BAY AREA. AND
AND I ALSO ARGUED THAT IF WE'RE
LOSING A LITTLE BIT OF DENSITY
IN THOSE AREAS THAT WOULD HELP
TRAFFIC A WHOLE LOT. BECAUSE
THERE'S H. EXTREME AMOUNT OF
TRAFFIC IN THOSE AREAS. IT'LL
TAKE YOU THREE HOURS TO GET
FROM SANTA MONICA DOWN. TO
REDONDO BEACH SO. ANYWAY- I
I'VE I'VE HEARD IT REFERRED
WHAT I NEED TO HEAR AND I. YOUR
EFFORTS THANKS. THANK YOU ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS MR STONE YEAH I
WOULD JUST LIKE TO CLARIFY THIS
IS ACTUALLY A MAJOR TOOL FOR
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS TO BE ABLE
TO DEAL WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IN THEIR LOCAL COASTAL PROGRAM.
BECAUSE ONCE AT THE L. C. P. IS
TO GO TO WITH THE COMMISSION IT
BECOMES THE STANDARD OF REVIEW.
IF THE L. C. P. AND THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS CANNOT ACCOUNT
FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DO
THE THINGS IT NEEDS TO DO
DEALING WITH. WITH THE SHORT
TERM RENTALS DEALING WITH A
MYRIAD OF THINGS THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS ARE DEALING WITH
ALONG THE COAST MY JURISDICTION
CASE IN POINT WE DO HAVE SOME
AFFORDABILITY. WHEN PEBBLE
BEACH VERY VERY HIGH END WANTED
TO BUILD SOME. SOME HOUSING
THERE WAS A DESPERATE NEED FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT WAS
ACTUALLY BUILT IT TO THAT
PARTICULAR PROJECT SO THAT
BECAUSE OF THE WILLINGNESS OF
PEBBLE BEACH AND THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY REALLY PUSHING ON IT
THIS BILL WILL FACILITATE
EXACTLY THAT CONVERSATION SO
WE'RE REALLY MISSING THE POINT
HERE. IF WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW THE COMMISSION INTERACTS
WITH LOCAL JURISDICTIONS HOW
ELSE HE PEES ARE CREATED. AND
THAT THE AMOUNT OF CONTROL THAT
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS HAVE OVER
THOSE DECISIONS THIS IS A BILL
THAT GIVES THEM. THE BREADTH OF
THAT CONTROL DEALING WITH
HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT THAT
WILL IMPACT HOUSING IN THEIR
JURISDICTIONS THAT'S WHY THIS
IS A GREAT BILL. WORKFORCE
HOUSING AND COAST ARMENIAN
AREAS THAT ARE MORE-
RECREATIONAL- AND TOURIST-
DRIVEN- IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR YOU
AND ME. AND LIVING IN ASSEMBLY
BELIEVE HE'S ONLY I UNDERSTAND
THAT YEAH I KNOW AND I KNOW YOU
DO IT I. FEEL THAT'S WHY THIS
BILL IS SO IMPORTANT. FOR
COASTAL JURISDICTIONS LIKE MY
RIGHT AND CITY SHOULD BE ABLE
TO GRAPPLE WITH THAT
RESPONSIBILITY I THINK THAT
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THIS
ALLOWS THEM TO DO THAT. OKAY
THANK YOU. I OTHER. FROM
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE MY STORE MANAGER

REDUCING HIV HEPATITIS C. AND
OTHER INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN
CALIFORNIA FOR DECADES. AB
THIRTEEN FORTY FOUR WILL
PROTECT THESE VITAL SERVICES BY
PROVIDING THESE PROGRAMS AND
EXEMPTION FROM SEQUEL
REQUIREMENTS. WE HAVE
EXPERIENCED A RISE IN DRUG
RELATED HARMS INCLUDING
OVERDOSE DEATHS HEPATITIS C.
DIAGNOSIS RATES AND INCREASED

THE REST OF THE UNITED STATES.
ACCESS TO STERILE SYRINGES
REDUCES HIV AND VIRAL HEPATITIS

OF SERVICES IN ADDITION TO
SYRINGE ACCESS AND DISPOSAL
INCLUDING HIV AND HEPATITIS
TESTING OVERDOSE PREVENTION
TRAINING AND REFERRALS TO DRUG
TREATMENT HOUSING AND MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES. THESE SERVICES
HAVE HELPED TO GARNER THE TRUST
IN PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOT
OTHERWISE SEEK OUT HARM
REDUCTION SERVICES. BUT
RECENTLY UNEXPECTED LEGAL
CHALLENGES HAVE ARISEN. DESPITE
THE CLEAR LANGUAGE OF THE
STATUTE THAT THIS SECTION IS TO
OPERATE NOTWITHSTANDING ANY
OTHER LAW ONE COURT IN ORANGE
COUNTY HAS AN INTERPRETED
SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS AS
PROJECTS SUBJECT TO THE
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT. BECAUSE THE
PROGRAM COULD NOT DEMONSTRATE
THAT I COLLECTED ALL THE
SYRINGES THAT IT DISTRIBUTED
SUBSEQUENTLY. THE PROGRAM WAS
FORCED TO SHUT DOWN. ANOTHER
PROGRAM IN BUTTE COUNTY HAS
BEEN FORCED TO RESEND IT CDPH
APPROVED APPLICATION IN THE
FACE OF SIMILAR LITIGATION.
ADDITIONALLY A SIMILAR LAWSUIT
HAS BEEN FILED AGAINST A
SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAM IN
SANTA CRUZ AND EARLY TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. WE MUST BE REMINDED
THAT THERE IS AN URGENT NEED TO
EXPAND SYRINGE EXCHANGE
PROGRAMS IN OUR STATE IN ORDER
TO ADDRESS OUR LOOMING OPIOID
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY. DURING
THE PANDEMIC THERE HAS BEEN A
SHARP INCREASE IN OVERDOSE
DEATHS AS EVIDENCED BY THE CDC.
THE NEED FOR ACCESS TO SYRINGES
AND OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY
SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS IS
NOW GREATER THAN EVER. THESE
TYPES OF SUITS ARE AN EXAMPLE
OF HOW REQUIRING SEACOR REVIEW
OF PUBLIC HEALTH PROGRAMS
IMPROPERLY PLACES DISEASE
PREVENTION AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AT ALL IT'S- WITHOUT
A MEDIA LEGISLATIVE ACTION THE
PUBLIC HEALTH PREVENTION
SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE
SYRINGE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
DIRECTLY AUTHORIZED BY THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC

NEW PROGRAMS WILL BE DETERRED
AT THE PRECISE TIME WHEN THE
NEED FOR THEM IS INCREASING. AB

UNINTENDED NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCES TO THE GO TO
COMMUNITY. BECAUSE OF ALL THIS
RESEARCH WE NOW KNOW THAT
NEEDLE EXCHANGE DOES REDUCE HIV
HEPATITIS AND OTHER BLOOD BORNE
VIRUSES. I KNOW THE PEOPLE WHO
USE DRUGS WHO HAVE ACCESS TO
NEEDLE EXCHANGE INTO DRUG
TREATMENT SOONER THAN PEOPLE
INTERNET ACCESS NEEDLE EXCHANGE
AND ENSURE THE DRUGGIES AD
CORREA'S. WE KNOW THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITIES
WITH NEEDLE EXCHANGE HAVE LOWER
RATES OF NEEDLE STICK INJURIES.
WE KNOW THAT NEEDLE EXCHANGES
OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO
DISTRIBUTE NALOXONE THE PEOPLE
USE DRUGS AND THAT DOING SOIS
ASSOCIATED. WITH REDUCTIONS IN
OVERDOSE DEATHS. AND
PARTICULARLY TO THIS COMMUNITY
YEAH COMMITTEE AND SEE
EXTENSIVE RESEARCH CONDUCTED TO
SEE WITH THE NEEDLE EXCHANGE IS
ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASES ON
STREET JUST GOT A NEEDLE. WE
NOW HAVE DECADES OF RESEARCH
WHICH IS BEING DONE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES AND AROUND THE WORLD
WHICH CONSISTENTLY SHOWS THAT
NEEDLE EXCHANGES STATISTICALLY
ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCTIONS IN
THE STREET DISCARDED NEEDLES.
NOT INCREASE ITS- NEEDLE
EXCHANGE AS PART OF THE
SOLUTION TO ST THIS. COULD HAVE
MAILED NOT PART OF THE PROBLEM.
TO GIVE THIS REASON EXAM FROM
THE LITERATURE THE TWENTY
ELEVEN STUDY COMPARING MIAMI
AND FLORIDA WHICH DID NOT HAVE
NEEDLE EXCHANGE WITH SAN
FRANCISCO HERE IN CALIFORNIA
WHICH HAS COMPREHENSIVE NEEDLE
EXCHANGE. SO THAT THEY WERE
EIGHT TIMES THE NUMBER OF
STREET DISCARDED NEEDLES THE
THOUSAND CENSUS BLOCKS IN MIAMI
COMPARED TO SAN FRANCISCO. WHEN
PEOPLE USE DRUGS DO NOT HAVE
ACCESS TO NEEDLE EXCHANGE AND
REDUCE SINEAD O'CONNOR OFTEN
AND WHEN THEY DISCOUNT OF MY DO
SO IMPROPERLY. THEY ARE JUST
MENTION RENTALS. ON THIRTY
SECONDS THANK YOU TO WRAP UP.
YES IN THIS STUDY I JUST
MENTIONED 95% OF PEOPLE USE
DRUGS IN MIAMI WITH ANOTHER
NEEDLE EXCHANGES RECORDED
DESCRIBING THE LAST NAY LED
USED ON THE STREET RIGHT THIRTY
FOUR TIMES HIGHER THAN IN SAN
FRANCISCO. DECADES OF EVIDENCE
SHOWS THAT NEEDLE EXCHANGES AND
EFFECTIVE WAY TO REDUCE ST
DISCOUNTED NEEDLES I HAVE NO
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE
ENVIRONMENT AND THE LEGISLATURE
SHOULD STREAM SUPPORT
STREAMLINING THE PROCESS OF
THEIR AUTHORIZATION ESPECIALLY
IN A LOT OF THE WORK STRUGGLING
WITH US CRISIS NOT STATE'S
HISTORY. THANK YOU THANK YOU
SIR- NEXT WE HAVE TO WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION. I HAVE BOB TIED
KIMMEL SHOE BUTTE COUNTY
SUPERVISOR. AND ROBERT BERRY
FROM ROB BERRY LAW. HE JUST
TAUGHT HIM SHE CAN YOU HEAR ME
YES PLEASE GO AHEAD. OKAY THANK
YOU VERY MUCH- GOOD MORNING
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I WOULD LIKE TO REFER
YOU TO A LETTER FROM BUTTE
COUNTY. AS OF MARCH TWENTY
THIRD TWENTY TWENTY ONE BUTTE
COUNTY OPPOSES ASSEMBLYBILL
THIRTEEN FORTY FOUR WHICH SEEKS
TO EXEMPT CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH AUTHORIZED TO
REMAIN FIXED. EXCHANGE PROGRAMS
FROM THE CALIFORNIA
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT SEE
WHAT IT WAS MORE THE ONLY TOOLS
THAT CITIZENS HAVE TO SEEK- IT
BERMAN BY MENTAL HARM AND IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT THE CD P. H.
RECOGNIZED THE HARM. ONCE THE
SYINGES USED. TO INJECT
ILLICIT DRUGS THAT IS
IMMEDIATELY BECOME PROHIBITED
PARAPHERNALIA KNOWING THAT'S
MANY USERS IMMEDIATELY DISCARD
THEIR SYRINGES AFTER THEIR USE
THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WORK
THE SUPPLY OF NEW SYRINGES. IS
UNLIMITED AND FREE NEEDLE
LITTER IS AN UNAVOIDABLE
CONSEQUENCE OF LOOSELY
REGULATED DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
DISTRIBUTION PROGRAMS
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHICH HAVE NO
REQUIREMENT TO POOR EXCHANGE
USED NEEDLES FOR CLEAN ONES.
WELL CDPH SEEKS. TO EXEMPT
THEMSELVES FROM THE
CONSEQUENCES THE DANGER TO THE
PUBLIC REMAINS FAMILIES WITH
YOUNG CHILDREN MUST NOW WORRY
ABOUT THE DANGERS OF POTENTIAL
NEEDLE STICKS WHEN VISITING
PLAYGROUNDS PARKS AND
WATERWAYS. ONE OF MY ONE OF THE
MOST SOLEMN OBLIGATIONS OF
GOVERNMENT AT EVERY LEVEL IS TO
PROTECT THE HEALTH AND SAFETY
OF ITS CITIZENS. AND TO ENSURE
THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS
PRISTINE AND LITTER FREE AS
POSSIBLE. AB THIRTEEN FORTY
FOUR WE BELIEVE IS UNWISE ON
CONTRARY TO THE WIDELY HELD
TRADITIONAL PUTTING
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AT THE
FOREFRONT. OF WISE PUBLIC
POLICY FOR THOSE REASONS BUTTE
COUNTY URGES YOU TO VOTE NO ON
ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTEEN FORTY
FOUR AND AGAIN JUST. TO
REITERATE DISCARDED NEEDLES ARE
BARTON APARTMENT. WE NEED AND
SYRINGES ARE LEADERS
DISTRIBUTED IN EASY TO OBTAIN
THEIR DISCARDED THOSE ITEMS
NEEDLES AND SYRINGES END UP IN
PARKS WATERWAYS PLAYGROUNDS IN
OUR STREETS WORKING THROUGH THE
STATE I THINK WHAT. WHAT PART
THAT. KEEP UP YES I WILL THANK
YOU WORKING TO SEE WHAT
PROGRESS. OR- FOR ANYONE WHO
WANTS TO DISTRIBUTE NEEDLES IS
OUR ONLY PROTECTION THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR ALLOWING ME TO-
PARTICIPATE TODAY. THANK YOU
NEXT WITNESS. MY NAME IS
BRADBURY AND I'M ONE OF THE
ATTORNEYS THAT BROUGHT THE
LAWSUIT AND BUTTE COUNTY THAT
WAS REFERRED TO EARLIER. THE
INTENDED PURPOSE OF THE ACCORDS
EQUAL LEGISLATION IS TO
FACILITATE INFORMED LAND USE
DECISIONS BY IDENTIFYING
ANALYZING AND MITIGATING
DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS OF PROJECTS
ON THE ENVIRONMENT. WHEN A
STATE AGENCY CAN IGNORE SEQUEL
ENTIRELY AS WAS THE CASE IN
CHICO. NEARLY SUFFERS THE REBEL
HARM TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND
THEIR SAFETY. AS A RESULT OF
THIS DISREGARD FOR THE
INTERESTS OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC
COMMUNITIES WE ACTUALLY AGAINST
THESE PROGRAMS AS DID DID SHE
GO SERVICE. INSTEAD OF WORKING
WITH COMMUNITIES TO MITIGATE
THEIR CONCERNS THE STATE
PRECEDED UNMOVED BY PUBLIC
SENTIMENT. IN RESPONSE OUR
STUDENTS TO ISSUED AND THEN
SETTLEMENT. DEPARTMENT PUBLIC
HEALTH RELUCTANTLY AGREED TO
WITHDRAW THEIR PROGRAM APPROVAL
AND IN A BINDING SETTLEMENT
AGREEMENT CONCEDED THEY MUST
COMPLY WITH SEQUEL FOR ALL AND
ANY PROGRAMS APPROVED IN THE
FUTURE. EVEN WITH THAT PROMISE
EVERY CITY AND TOWNSHIP IN
BUTTE COUNTY HAS NOW ENACTED
LOCAL ORDINANCES WHICH BANNED
SUCH PROGRAMS OUTRIGHT BY USING
THEIR LAND USE POWERS TO
DISALLOW THE USE AND TO DECLARE
SUCH PROGRAMS A PUBLIC
NUISANCE. SUCH A STRONG
REACTION FROM CITIZENS IS IT
REFLECTIVE OF THE HARMS THAT
THEY SUFFERED. OTHER THAN WORK
WITH COMMUNITIES TO MITIGATE
ENVIRONMENTAL HARMS AS REQUIRED
UNDER SPEAK WHERE THEY NOW SEEK
TO PERMANENTLY OVER POWER THE
WILL OF LOCAL JURISDICTIONS BY
PURSUING EXEMPTIONS FOR
THEMSELVES FOR THE VERY LAWS
THIS LEGISLATURE HAS PASSED. TO
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT NOW AND
FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE
ONLY WAY TO ESTABLISH
SUSTAINABLE THIS IS SYRINGE
EXCHANGE PROGRAMS IN LOCAL
COMMUNITIES IS TO ENSURE THAT
SUCH PROGRAMS ANY AGENCIES
WHICH APPROVED THEM REMAIN
ACCOUNTABLE TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND THE PUBLIC FOR
PRESENT AND POTENTIAL FUTURE
ENVIRONMENTAL HARMS. THIS IS
COMPLETELY CONSISTENT WITH THE
FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE OF SEQUELS.
AND FOR THESE REASONS AND MORE
WE OPPOSE THIS AMENDMENT
ENTIRELY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU. I'M NEXT WE WILL-
TAKE WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OR

YOU THIS ARAMBULA NEW WE WE'VE
CHATTED ABOUT THIS IT'S-
ALTHOUGH PART OF ME SHOULD BE
HEARTENED WITH THE SUPPORT
WE'RE HEARING FOR SEQUEL- THE
PROBLEM IS WHAT THE UNDERLYING.
AND NOW THIS REALLY IS THE
PROJECT AND I HAVE NOT
SUPPORTED SECRET EXEMPTIONS
I'VE TALKED TO MY- LOCAL
ADVOCATES ABOUT THIS I'M NOT
GOING TO SUPPORT THE SEQUENCE
AND CHANGE EITHER BECAUSE TO ME
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE UNDERLYING
PROJECT. IT'S ABOUT
UNDERMINING. THE LAW THAT THAT
WE HAVE PUT IN IN PLACE AND I
THINK THERE. OUR OTHER WAYS FOR
FACILITATING NEW EXCHANGE
PROGRAMS IN OUR COMMUNITIES
WHICH ARE VERY VERY IMPORTANT I
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU ON
THAT. SO I'M SORRY BUT I'M NOT
SUPPORTING IT TODAY BUT THAT'S
WHY. MISTER WHAT THANK YOU
DOCTOR REGULAR I KNOW WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THIS A LOT- I JUST
YOU KNOW I I'M A BIG SUPPORTER
OF SEQUENCE WELL BUT I DO TAKE
OFFENSE THAT SEEK WAS BEING
USED TO UNDERMINE PROJECTS LIKE
THIS I THINK THAT ARE IMPORTANT
I WILL NOTE FOR AND- THAT
LEAGUE OF CITIES REMOVED THEIR
OPPOSITION R. C. R. C. REMOVED
THEIR OPPOSITION- IT I JUST
THINK THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN
CITIES ARE THERE DO YOU DOING
THIS TO ESSENTIALLY ELIMINATE
NEEDLE EXCHANGE PROGRAM TONIGHT
I THINK THAT'S WRONG. SO I
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE BILL
FORWARD. MR MCCARTY. YEAH I
THINK YOU- AT FIRST I WALKED IN
I THOUGHT DOCTOR WOULD THAT NOT
A WE HAVE HELPED ME TO GET. IS
THIS IS THIS IS A HEALTH- TOPIC
I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS
IN PART HELPED ME IN. AND LIKE
IN SACRAMENTO I REMEMBER WE
JUST I WAS ON THE IS IT WAS
VERY CONTROVERSIAL AND IT IT
IT'S BEEN WORKED OUT FOR PUBLIC
HEALTH BUT ACROSS THE STREET
LEVEL IN THE COUNTY THAT THEY
WON'T ADOPT LITTLEST CHANGE AND
IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF SEE BECAUSE
BECAUSE OF THEIR CONSERVATIVE.
POLITICS SO I APOLOGIZE TO THE
CHERUB MISSED THE FIRST FEW
MINUTES OF THIS PRESENTATION
ARE THERE DID YOU GIVE EXAMPLES
OF JURISDICTIONS THAT THAT
DENIED A NEEDLE EXCHANGE
FACILITY AND YOU CAN WE CAN
POINT THAT SICK ONE WAS WAS WAS
WAS THE ISSUE. WE HAD MENTIONED
EARLIER THAT CURRENTLY ORANGE
COUNTY HAD BROUGHT A LAWSUIT
FOR SEACOR WE HAD MENTIONED AS
WELL ABOUT BUTTE COUNTY AND HOW
SANTA CRUZ HAS A LAWSUIT WHICH.
BEGAN IN EARLY TWENTY TWENTY
ONE. SO ON THE JURIST. THE THAT
THE CITY OR THE COUNTY APPROVED
A NEEDLE EXCHANGE FACILITY AND
IT WAS BLOCKED BECAUSE OF THE
SEQUEL LAWSON. IN THOSE
JURISDICTIONS THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH HAD
APPROVED THE- SYRINGE EXCHANGE
PROGRAM IN THOSE LOCAL
MUNICIPALITIES- WEAPONIZED
SEACOR- AND ALSO HAD IF I COULD
ADD A LAYER REGARDING SINCE-
EARLIER WE HEARD FROM THE
BUTTE. COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS REGARDING THEIR
MARCH TWENTY THIRD LETTER BUT
IT DID NOT COMMENT ON THE
AMENDMENTS. THAT WE TOOK ON
APRIL EIGHTH WITHIN COMMITTEE
THAT BIFURCATED THIS BILL AND-
ALLOWED FOR THE NUISANCE
PROVISIONS TO CONTINUE AND US
WE HEARD THEIR TESTIMONY STATE
THAT IT WAS THE- ONLY TOOL THAT
WAS AVAILABLE AND IN REALITY I
BELIEVE THEY- STILL HAVE
LITIGATION AND OPPORTUNITIES
TO. PURSUE WHAT THE LOCALS ARE
SEEKING RIGHT NOW. OKAY THANKS.
MR TELL. ARE JUST A FOUGHT JUST
FOLLOW UP QUESTION TO MR
MCCARTHY'S THE LINE OF
QUESTIONING- THE PROGRAM HAS
BEEN AROUND FOR SO LONG HOW WE
JUST SEEN THESE LAWSUITS- IN
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. THAT'S
CORRECT. SHE WAS ABLE TO FIX.
GIPSON OKAY. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE.
YEAH THAT'S OKAY- WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE THIS ROOM THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE OKAY. THE
MOTION IS TO PASS TO
APPROPRIATIONS WE HAVE A MOTION
FROM MR WEBB SECONDED BY MR
MCCARTY. SECRETARY PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL. I DON'T TO AB
THIRTEEN FORTY FOUR BY MEMBER
ARAMBULA MEMBERS RIVAS HI
RIVERSIDE FLORA FLORA NO CHAU

MURATSUCHI SAY ARCHER. STONE
STONE NOW WOULD WOOD I. FOUR
THREE FOUR THREE I WILL LEAVE
THAT OPEN THANK YOU MR ARAMBULA
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR NEXT UP
WE HAVE- ASSEMBLY MEMBER BERMAN
PRESENTING AB. THIRTEEN FORTY
SIX. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
COLLEAGUES AB THIRTEEN FORTY
SIX DUREX CARB TO REQUIRE ZERO
EMISSIONS FROM NEW SMALL OFF
ROAD ENGINES. SOLD IN
CALIFORNIA ON OR AFTER TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. SMALL OFF ROAD
ENGINES OTHERWISE NOT A SORE
OUR ENGINES THAT PRODUCE TWENTY
FIVE HORSEPOWER LESS. THEY'RE
MAINLY USED IN LAWN AND GARDEN
EQUIPMENT SUCH AS LEAF BLOWERS
AND LAWN MOWERS. AND OTHER
OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT. GALLON
FOR GALLON THAT THESE ENGINES
POLLUTE AT A SUBSTANTIALLY
HIGHER RATE THAN OTHER
EQUIPMENT AND VEHICLES.
OPERATING A COMMERCIAL LEAF
BLOWER FOR ONE HOUR IMAGE
POLLUTION COMPARABLE TO DRIVING
A TWO THOUSAND SEVEN TOYOTA
CAMRY ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED
MILES. TO PUT THAT IN ANOTHER
WAY ONE HOUR OF A COMMERCIAL
THE FLOOR EMITS AS MUCH
POLLUTION AS DRIVING A TWENTY
SEVENTEEN CAMERI FROM
SACRAMENTO. ACROSS NEVADA AND
UTAH TO DENVER COLORADO. IN
FACT IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE DALY
EMISSIONS FROM SMALL ENGINES
ARE PROJECTED TO SURPASS THOSE
FROM PASSENGER CARS. BY TWENTY
THIRTY ONE EMISSIONS FROM SORE
WILL BE MORE THAN TWICE THOSE
FROM PASSENGER CARS. THESE
EMISSIONS WORSEN AIR QUALITY IN
BECAUSE DIRECT NEGATIVE HEALTH
IMPACTS INCLUDING ASTHMA AND
LUNG DISEASE. JUST THINK ABOUT
THE HEALTH IMPACTS ON
LANDSCAPING PROFESSIONALS WHO
BREATHE IN THESE FUMES DAY IN
AND DAY OUT. THE GOOD NEWS IS
THAT ZERO EMISSION VERSIONS ARE
AVAILABLE FOR ALL OF THE
EQUIPMENT IN THE SMALL ENGINE
CATEGORY CURRENTLY REGULATED BY
THE CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES
BOARD. THE CARD IS REGULATED
EMISSIONS FROM THIS CATEGORY
SINCE NINETEEN NINETY. THIS
BILL BRINGS THE EMISSION
STANDARD TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO
BE ZERO. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT APPLY
TO ACQUIT MINORITY IN USE SO IF
YOU HAVE A GAS POWERED LEAF
BLOWER YOU CAN KEEP USING IT.
IT ONLY BANS THE SALE OF NEW
GAS POWERED STORE ON OR AFTER
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. I ALSO WANT
TO KNOW THAT FARMING
CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT ARE
PREEMPTED UNDER THE FEDERAL
CLEAN AIR ACT AND NOT SUBJECT
TO THIS BILL OR CARD
REGULATIONS. ABOUT HALF OF
HOUSEHOLDS HAVE ALREADY
SWITCHED TO ZERO EMISSION
EQUIPMENT. BUT IT WILL TAKE
MORE TO TRANSITION COMMERCIAL
OPERATORS TO ZERO EMISSIONS. TO
THAT END AB THIRTEEN FORTY SIX
REQUIRES CARP TO MAKE FUNDING
AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL AIR
DISTRICTS TO OFFER COMMERCIAL
REBATES. TO HELP LANDSCAPERS
PURCHASE ZERO EMISSION
EQUIPMENT. SEVERAL AIR
DISTRICTS LIKE SOUTH COAST IN
VALLEY AIR ALREADY OFFERS SUCH
REBATE PROGRAMS. AND
INSTITUTIONS LIKE THE CITY OF
SOUTH. PASADENA HAS
SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION TO
FULLY ZERO EMISSION LANDSCAPING.
ZERO MISSION EQUIPMENT IS IN
THE SAME PRICE RANGE AS GAS
EQUIPMENT AND WILL ACTUALLY
SAVE MONEY OVER THE LIFE OF ITS
USE. THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE THE
PURCHASE OF GAS RICH FUEL IT'S
QUIET AND MOST IMPORTANTLY IT
DOESN'T EMIT OZONE FORMING
POLLUTANTS THAT ADVERSELY
AFFECT HUMAN HEALTH. THE
COUNTRY TO CLIMATE CHANGE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE ON AB THIRTEEN FORTY SIX.
AND- WITH ME ARE BILL MCGOVERN
WITH THE COALITION FOR CLEAN
AIR AND WILLIAM BEAR IT WITH
THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION.
TESTIFYING VIA PHONE. THANK
YOU. OUR MODERATOR CAN YOU
PLEASE OPEN UP THE LINES FOR
OUR WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
SLICKNESS IS TRYING TO. GOOD
MORNING MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
BILL MCGAVIN WITH THE COALITION
FOR CLEAN AIR IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF AB THIRTEEN FORTY SIX. SMALL
GASOLINE POWERED ENGINES LIKE
LAWN MOWERS AND LEAF BLOWERS
AND SMALL GENERATORS. HAVE BEEN
REGULATED FOR YEARS BY THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD- BUT THOSE
REGULATIONS ARE NOW OUTDATED.
AND SAID YOU HEARD FROM MR
BERMAN AND I'LL REPEAT THIS
BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A STUNNING
FACT. HE EMISSIONS FROM THESE
SMALL OFF ROAD ENGINES WELL
ACTUALLY SURPASSED ALL THE SMOG
FORMING EMISSIONS FROM CARS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THIS
YEAR. AND THAT SHOWS HOW
IMPORTANT THIS BILL IS THE- IT
EXISTING ENGINES HAVE ALSO
SHOWN HIGH FAILURE RATES IN
EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS TEST.
WHICH PREVENTS THE PREVIOUSLY
CLAIMED EMISSION REDUCTIONS
FROM BEING REALIZED SO IT'S
TIME TO MOVE THE SALES OF NEW
EQUIPMENT IN THIS CATEGORY TWO
ZERO MISSION AND THERE ARE MANY
ZERO EMISSION PRODUCTS
AVAILABLE THAT USE EITHER
BATTERIES. OR THEY CAN PLUG IN.
THE BILL IS CRAFTED TO WORK
WITH THE ALREADY ONGOING
REGULATORY PROCESS- WHICH I'VE
BEEN PARTICIPATING AND I AND I
CAN VOUCH THAT THAT PROCESS
ALLOWS FOR EXTENSIVE PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION. AND
DELIBERATION- SO YOU MIGHT ASK
THE REGULATORY PROCESS IS
ALREADY GOING ON WHY DO WE NEED
TO FILL. WELL EXPERIENCE SHOWS
THAT HAVING A STATUTORY MANDATE
BRING CERTAINTY TO RULEMAKING
AND- WE'VE SEEN SUCCESSES MANY
TIMES OVER THE YEARS WHEN THE
LEGISLATURE HAS DIRECTED YEAR
RESOURCES BOARD. TO ENACT WILL
MAKING IN A CERTAIN AREA AND
GIVES THEM A STATUTORY
DEADLINE. AND AT THE SAME TIME
DELEGATES TO THE BOARD THE
FLEXIBILITY TO SETTLE THE
DETAILS AND EXAMINE THE
TECHNOLOGICAL FEASIBILITY OF
THE RULE. SO WE THANK THE
AUTHOR AND ASKED THE COMMITTEE
TO APPROVE THE BILL THIS
MORNING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
NEXT WITH US IN SUPPORT PLEASE.
GOOD MORNING I'M WILL BARRETT
ON THE DIRECTOR. ALSO SPEAKING
IN SUPPORT THIS MORNING. THE
MISSION OF THE AMERICAN LUNG
ASSOCIATION IS TO SAVE LIVES BY
IMPROVING LUNG HEALTH AND
REDUCING LUNG DISEASE THE SMALL
OFF ROAD ENGINE CATEGORY IS
PROJECTED TO HAVE AN
INCREASINGLY LARGE ROLE IN REAL
WORLD LONG HEALTH IMPACTS AND
THAT THIS IMPACT WILL CONTINUE
TO GROW OVER THE COMING DECADE.
WITHOUT ACTIONS LIKE THAT
BUSINESS BILL. AMONG SUCH
PATIENTS TWENTY TWENTY ONE
STATED AIR REPORT. RELEASED
LAST WEEK FOUND THAT SEVEN OF
THE TEN MOST OZONE POLLUTED
CITIES. IN THE UNITED STATES OR
IN CALIFORNIA. RESIDENTS IN
NEED COMMUNITIES CAN EXPERIENCE
NEARLY A MONTH TO OVER FIVE
MONTHS OF UNHEALTHY AIR ON AN
ANNUAL BASIS. EXPOSURE TO AIR
POLLUTION CAN HAVE A WIDE RANGE
OF NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES
INCLUDING ASTHMA ATTACKS. HEART
ATTACKS AND STROKES LUNG CANCER
AND PREMATURE DEATH. CHILDREN
OLDER ADULTS AND PEOPLE LIVING
WITH CHRONIC CONDITIONS-
ESPECIALLY HEART AND LUNG
DISEASES. ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO THE HEALTH IMPACTS OF AIR
POLLUTION. OUTDOOR WORKERS LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES PEOPLE OF
COLOR ALSO FACE GREATER RISKS
AND OFTEN FACE DISPROPORTIONATE
EXPOSURES TO UNHEALTHY AIR. AND
THEIR ASSOCIATED NEGATIVE-HEALTH OUTCOMES. THAT
CALIFORNIA'S POLICIES HAVE
REALLY SUCCEEDED IN DRIVING
DOWN REGIONAL AIR POLLUTION. WE
KNOW THAT THE INVENTORY OF
POLLUTION SOURCES WILL CONTINUE
TO SHIFT. THAT THOSE HARD
FOUGHT POLICIES- HAVE TAKEN
EFFECT. AND CLEAN UP OTHER
SECTORS. AT- EIGHT THIRTY FORTY
SIX REALLY READ. THE GROWING OF
THE SORT. WHAT A LONG HELD AND
RECALL CAR TO DIE- THE TOP COST.
AND FEASIBLE REGULATE. REALLY
REFLECTING THE WIDESPREAD
AVAILABILITY AND ZERO EMISSION
TECHNOLOGIES TODAY. AND THEN-
TO YOU KNOW MOVES FORWARD AND
MAKING SURE THAT- CARBS
IDENTIFYING AND THAT RING TO
MAKE FUNDING AVAILABLE TO
SUPPORT THIS CRITICAL
TRANSITION. FOR NEW ENGINES TO
MOVE TO ZERO EMISSIONS AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THE
LEGISLATION BEFORE YOU
ADDRESSES THE GROWING THREAT TO
LONG HEALTH AND WE URGE DR

SCENE NINE SEE KNOWN IN
OPPOSITE- WE'LL SEE NO
OPPOSITION IN THE COMMITTEE
ROOMS WILL BRING BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE. I WAS REGARDING THE
MISTER WOULD. THANK YOU THAT
FIRST OF ALL I'D LIKE TO MAKE A
MOTION ON THIS BILL. I JUST
WANT TO- TALK TO THE AUTHOR I
KNOW THAT HE'S THOUGHT ABOUT
THIS AND WAS VERY DELIBERATE
AND THOUGHTFUL ABOUT THIS
ISSUE. AND THAT THIS WAS A VERY
CONTROVERSIAL WHEN I WHEN THIS
WAS PROPOSED TWENTY FIVE YEARS
AGO I REMEMBER THAT. IT WAS
THAT A DEBATE WERE ON THE FLOOR
OF ONE OF THE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
OF THE TIME MISTER CAR DOES NOT
CONGRESS MEMBER I REMEMBER HE
BROKE DOWN IN TEARS. TALKING
ABOUT HOW HIS DAD- WAS A- A
GARDENER AND HE WAS GONNA HAVE
HIS TOOLS ESSENTIALLY TAKEN
AWAY FROM HIM BECAUSE THAT
WOULD HAVE BANNED THEM. ON DAY
ONE AND SO WHAT YOU'RE
PROPOSING HERE IS VERY
DIFFERENT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY.
THE INDUSTRY HAS CHANGED
DRAMATICALLY IN THE LAST TWENTY
FIVE YEARS- SO I DON'T THINK
THIS IS THAT AND REASONABLE I
KNOW THERE WAS LATE OPPOSITION
THAT CAME I THINK JUST TWO DAYS
AGO YESTERDAY SO- WE HAVEN'T
REALLY HEARD FROM PEOPLE THE
OUTCRY LIKE WE DID TWENTY FIVE
YEARS AGO. AND JUST THIS
WEEKEND I WAS IN THE HOME DEPOT
STORE AND I KNEW ABOUT THIS
BILL AND I WAS LOOKING ON THE
SHELF. AND THE PRICE OF THESE-
ELECTRIC BLOWERS HAS GONE DOWN
AND WE'RE MAINLY TALKING ABOUT
BLOWERS I KNOW. THERE'S
CHAINSAWS AND LAWNMOWERS AND
OPENNESS TO WOOD TALKS ABOUT
CHAINSAWS A LOT UP IN CERTAIN
PARTS OF THE STATE WHICH ARE
NEEDED BECAUSE OF OTHER ISSUES
BUT- THE BIGGEST ISSUE WE FACE
IN OUR COMMUNITIES ARE THE LEAF
BLOWERS IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS
AN THAT'S WHAT IMPACTS. AND
NEIGHBORHOODS THE QUALITY OF
LIFE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY. THE
HEALTH OF THE WORKERS. THEY TWO
THINGS. ONE I SAW THIS ON THE
SHELF IN IN HOME DEPOT THE
POWER OF THESE LEAF BLOWERS HAS
GONE UP TREATMENT YOU'RE
TREMENDOUSLY I THINK IT'S THE
CF AT WHATEVER THE HORSEPOWER
WHAT HAVE YOU. AND I AND I I'M
A ROBOT ONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO
WAS LIKE WELL THIS IS ALMOST
LIKE A GAS CARD ONE AND- THE
PRICE WAS NOT THAT MUCH WHAT'S
THE PRICE IS MUCH LOWER THAN A
GAS WANTS TO BE LOOK AT BUYING
ONE OF THESE PLUS BUYING AN
EXTRA BATTERY PACK OR TWO. IT'S
ALMOST THE EQUIVALENT OF THE
COST FOR- AND- I GUESS ONE AND
YOU WANT WITH THE GAS ONE
YOU'RE PAYING GAS OF COURSE
HERE YOU'RE NOT PAYING FOR GAS
YOU SAVE MONEY AND HAVE THE
ELECTRIC BUT I DON'T THINK IT
WOULD HAVE A TREMENDOUS IMPACT
ON THE QUALITY AND I'M
UNDERSTANDING IS YOU'RE GOING
TO HAVE THERE IS SOME TYPE OF A
REBATE PROGRAM THAT CARP YOU
TALK ABOUT THAT ONE YET SO WHAT
WHAT WE DO- WHAT THE BILL DOES
IS- THE ME FIND THE DETAILS- SO
REQUIRED. CARD TO MAKE FUNDING
OF A- SO DISTRICTS RAMP UP
COMMERCIAL REBATE PROGRAMS TO
HELP BUSINESSES TRANSITION TO
ZERO EMISSION EQUIPMENT- AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S- IN THE
BILL THAT ISN'T. IN CARBS
PROPOSED REGULATION SO THAT'S
SOMETHING UNIQUE TO THE BILL
AND WHY THE BILL IS SO
IMPORTANT- AND WHAT THAT IS
UPDATING SOME OF THE- REBATE
PROGRAMS THAT CARD HAS. TO
ALLOW FOR MORE USES INCLUDING A
LOT OF THESE GAS. ELECTRIC
POWERED STORE. EQUIPMENT THAT
CURRENTLY ISN'T. IT DOESN'T
QUALIFY FOR CERTAIN REBATE
PROGRAMS AND THE CALL MORE YOUR
PROGRAM- UNDER CARBS SO.
SOMEWHERE DISTRICTS IN THE
BIGGEST OR DISTRICTS IN THE
STATE. CENTRAL VALLEY- THE LA
THE SOUTH THE SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA- DISTRICT ALREADY
PROVIDE STRONG REBATE PROGRAMS
FOR COMMERCIAL USE. AS WELL AS
RESIDENTIAL USE WE WANT THEM
ALL. TO PROVIDE A STRONG REBATE
PROGRAMS FOR COMMERCIAL USE AND
SO THAT'S THE FOCUS OF THE
BILL. YEAH BUT THAT I THINK ALL
THE ELEMENTS ARE THERE- TO
ADDRESS WE'RE AT TWENTY FIVE
YEARS AGO I THINK IT'S TIME SO
THANK YOU. PRESIDENT THANK YOU.
.ORG THANK YOU- APPRECIATE
APPRECIATE THE INTENSE LOOK I
HAVE A- ELECTRIC LAWNMOWER HAVE
AN ELECTRIC LEAF BLOWER HAVE AN
ELECTRIC CAR SO- CLEARLY I
UNDERSTAND- THE CONCERN AROUND
EMISSIONS- I DO- WONDER. THESE
REBATE PROGRAMS THAT YOU'RE
ASKING FOR. I GUESS YOU'RE THE
BILL'S GOING TO COMMAND- CARD
TO DO THIS- WILL THAT BE HOW
THOSE BE DONE WILL THAT BE
SUBJECT TO- THE ENVIRO SKIN.
WHERE WHERE PEOPLE IN MY
DISTRICT WHERE WE HAVE GOOD AIR
QUALITY DON'T QUALIFY FOR THESE
PROGRAMS- OR- OR IS THIS GOING
TO BE. A STATEWIDE PROGRAM. AND
WILL THERE BE LIMITED FUNDING.
OVER THE B. A LOT OF FUNDING.
BECAUSE I WORRY- BUT IN IN MY
DISTRICT- CHAINSAWS ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT WAY OF LIFE FOR A LOT
OF FOLKS WE'RE WE'RE MANDATING-
WE'RE NOT MANDATING WORSE WE'RE
TRYING TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
DO MORE HOME HARDENING- AND-
TAKE CARE. THAT DEPRESSION
VEGETATION THEIR HOME AND- I
WILL SAY THAT WELL I DO ENJOY
MY ELECTRIC LAWN MORE MY
LOGICALLY BLOWER- THE CHALLENGE
IN SOME AREAS IS GOING TO BE RE
CHARGING THOSE. BATTERIES
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE A
COMMERCIAL OPERATOR I DON'T
KNOW WHERE YOU RECHARGE YOUR
BATTERIES AND THE DAY UNLESS
YOU HAVE. YOU KNOW A BUNCH OF
BATTERIES- TO BE ABLE TO DO
THIS SO. SO FIRST QUESTION IS.
WILL WILL OF THESE REBATES BE
AVAILABLE STATEWIDE FOR- NOT
JUST COMMERCIAL BUT-
CONSUMERS'S WELL. WHEN WILL
THEY BE SUBJECTED TO THE ENVIRO
CARE- AND THEN SECONDLY- ARE
THERE ARE YOU LOOKING AT WOULD
YOU CONSIDER ANY SORT. OF-
RURAL CO CONSIDER. FOR THIS I
UNDER LOOK I AROUND THE CAPITAL
HERE IN THE MORNINGS AND- AND I
HATE THOSE LEAF BLOWERS MAN I
JUST HATE THEM I HATE THE DUST
THEY PUT UP AND I HATE THE
EMISSIONS AND I THINK. I WORRY
ABOUT THE WORKERS. BUT I LIVE
IN A DIFFERENT WORLD. SO I HAVE
TO GET BACK ON THE CALAVERAS
SCREEN COMPONENT BECAUSE I'M
NOT I'M NOT THAT INTIMATELY
FAMILIAR WITH WITH WHETHER YOU
KNOW IT IS THE APPLICATION OF
THAT IS MY UNDERSTANDING IS
THAT MOST THESE REBATE PROGRAMS
FALL UNDER THE DIFFERENT AIR
QUALITY DISTRICTS- THE
DIFFERENT REGIONAL AIR QUALITY
DISTRICTS SO- BUT AB THIRTEEN
FORTY SIX MAKES INCENTIVE
FUNDING AVAILABLE BY REQUIRING
CARP TO UPDATE FUNDING
GUIDELINES. FOR APPLICABLE
PROGRAMS TO SEVERAL LOCAL AIR
DISTRICTS OFFER ROBUST
COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
REBATE PROGRAMS FOR LANDSCAPING
EQUIPMENT BUT WE WANT TO BUILD
ON THAT PROGRESS BY REMOVING
BARRIERS THAT RESTRICT LOCAL
AIR DISTRICTS ABILITY TO FIND
INCENTIVE PROGRAM SO LIKE I
MENTIONED A SECOND AGO. THE
CARL MOYER PROGRAM FUNDING
GUIDELINES ARE RESTRICTIVE AND
OUTDATED CURRENTLY ONLY LAWN
MOWERS FOR RESIDENTIAL USE ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING IT'S ABOUT
REQUIRING CARD TO UPDATE THESE
GUIDELINES TO INCLUDE
COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS FOR
SMALL FOR SORE. THIS WILL FREE
UP FUNDING FOR AIR DISTRICTS TO
OFFER AND EXPAND COMMERCIAL
REBATE PROGRAMS. TO HELP
LANDSCAPING PROFESSIONALS. THIS
IS YOUR OMISSION. SO I CAN GET
YOU A LOT MORE INFORMATION.
KIND OF. POST POST HEARING ON
EXACTLY WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE
AND WHETHER OR NOT. CALAVERAS
CAN APPLIES I'D SIMILAR YOU
HAVE. CONCERNS ABOUT CALAVERAS
SCREEN. AND ITS IMPACT IN MY
DISTRICT- BUT- YEAH THIS IS
THIS REALLY DOES. YOU WITH THE
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE LOOK A
LOT MORE FUNDING FOR THESE
REBATE REBATE PROGRAMS
ESPECIALLY ON THE COMMERCIAL
SIDE A LOT OF- YOUR DISTRICTS
ALREADY HAVE THE FUNDING ON THE
RESIDENTIAL SIDE- THE REBATE
PROGRAMS ON THE RESIDENTIAL
SIDE. AND THEN I DON'T KNOW IF
I ANSWERED ALL YOUR QUESTION I
GUESS AND THEN JUST THE ONE
ABOUT ONE OTHER ONE AND LOOK
I'M I'M I'M NOT GONNA I'M NOT
GONNA BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY WITHOUT THAT BECAUSE
OF BECAUSE OF THAT LACK OF
INFORMATION BUT- BUT ALSO- WE
HAVE A LARGE- ROBUST TIMBER
INDUSTRY IN MY DISTRICT AND
THEY RELY ON THESE MOTORS TO-
FOR LARGE SCALE- FOR LARGE
SCALE CHAINSAWS AS PART OF. NOT
JUST TO CUT THE TREES DOWN BUT
ALSO TO LIMB THEM UP AND SO ON
SO- I EIGHT IF YOU'RE OUT IN
THE IF YOU'RE OUT IN THE FOREST
WHICH MIGHT BE TEN MILES OFF OF
A ROAD SOMEWHERE- DOES THIS
BILL APPLY TO THOSE THOSE-
THOSE BUSINESSES AS WELL IT
WILL IT FOR CHAINSAWS-
CHAINSAWS OVER OR FORTY FIVE CC
ARE. PREEMPTED AND SO I THINK A
LOT OF THE CHAIN SAWS ARE USED
IN THE TIMBER INDUSTRY OR MUCH
MORE HEAVY DUTY. CHAIN SAWS
WHERE THIS WOULD NOT APPLY TO
THEM FOR THE SMALLER CHAIN SAWS
IT IT WOULD- AND YOU KNOW WHAT
WITH IF YOU BUY AN ELECTRIC
CHAINSAW PLUS ADDITIONAL
BATTERIES TO GET YOU THROUGH
THE DAY. OVER THE LONG RUN
YOU'RE GOING TO SAVE MONEY ON
BUYING A GAS POWERED CHAINSAW
HAVING TO USE GAS CONSTANTLY
THOSE CHAINS AUGUST MARCHING
SILVA THE END AND GUESTS
ARTICLE IN BREAK DOWN MORE
OFTEN. YOU HAVE TO YOU KNOW THE
MAINTENANCE ON THEM- SO YEAH IT
WOULD APPLY TO CHAIN SAWS UNDER
FORTY FIVE CC THE SMALLER
CHAINSAWS NOT FOR AND I KNOW
YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT
THIS BEFORE. NOT FOR
FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT. THAT IS
ALL COMPLETELY EXEMPTED- BUT
FOR THE TIMBER INDUSTRY WHAT-
SO ALL. SIX EQUIPMENT LIKE LIKE
LIKE YOU KNOW CAL- FOLKS HAVE
TO REMOVE TREES AFTER A STORM
THOSE KINDS OF THINGS AS WELL.
OR JUST FIRE FIGHTING- YEAH I
DO MY NOTES SAY FOR SAFETY
PURPOSES- BY GROUPS LIKE
CALIFORNIA'S ALL TO CHECK IN ON
CALTRANS AND OTHER YOUNG YEAH
THE DEPARTMENT- BUT LIKE I SAID
I COMPLETELY APPRECIATE WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO FOR SURE ALSO
ALSO WILL SAY WE ALSO POWER
SAFETY SHUT OFF PROBLEMS IN MY
DISTRICT SO THAT'S A PROBLEM TO
RECHARGE YOUR BATTERIES WHEN
YOU DON'T HAVE POWER AS A MUCH
BIGGER BILL I'M LOOKING FOR TO
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL WHEN YOU
WHEN YOU TACKLE THAT THANK YOU
MR BERMAN THINGS DOCTOR WOULD.
MISTER THANK YOU MR CHAIR-
EIGHT I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE
TRYING TO GO WITH THIS BUT- ON
ME. THANK YOU ANA A LITTLE
HISTORY TRIP OF A LUXURY NOT MY
GROWING UP BRIGITTE THAT SO I
GREW UP THE PICTURES IN IN THE
MOUNTAINS WELL FOUR THOUSAND
FEET MY FIRST JOB WAS PUTTING
UP THE A SIGN ON THE MAILBOX
SAYING YOU KNOW ALL ALL HELP
CLEAR PROPERTIES WILL CUT FIRE
LINES WILL DO THIS SO. MY FIRST
JOB WAS USING THIS EQUIPMENT. A
LITTLE HONDA ONE TEN THREE
WHEELER WITH A TRAILER ON THE
BACK. WITH WITH MY BLOWER AND
MY CHAIN SAW IN THE WEEDEATER
AND MEANING TOOLS AND
EVERYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF
THEY THE YOU WOULD NEED. TO BE
OUT ON THE COUNTRY SIDE CLEAR
FIRE LINE. TO TAKE CARE OF A
FARMER RANCH WITH WHATEVER. I
CAN DO TO MAKE A BUCK THIS IS A
TEENAGER. THERE IS NO WAY. THAT
I WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
UNDER YOUR BILL. I WOULD HAVE
TO CARRY A GENERATOR AROUND
WITH ME TO CONSTANTLY CHARGE
THESE BATTERIES IS IT AS I WENT
ALONG. BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU'RE
NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO
BUY ALL THESE PLUS AS THEY SET
OUT IN THE SUN THE BATTERIES
WEAR OUT ANYWAY. SO YOU HAVE
THAT. MY OTHER CONCERN ON ON ON
THE NATIONAL RESOURCES IN ON
THIS IN AN EXPRESSION OF OUR-
MIDDLING. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
WITH ALL THESE. EXTRA ADDED
BATTERIES IS THE DEPLETE NAGEL
THAT. WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO WITH.
THE THIS EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THE
LIFESPAN ON A BATTERY OPERATED
ANYTHING- THEY THEY TEND TO
BURN OUT QUICKER THEY DON'T
LAST AS LONG I STILL HAVE SOME
OF THE WE TWO YEARS I HAD.
TWENTY YEARS AGO. THAT ARE UP
AND RUNNING. SO THEY'RE NOT
ENDING UP IN A IN A LANDFILL OR
DUMP OR SOMEWHERE ELSE
SOMEWHERE. THAT THEY'RE STILL
UP AND RUNNING. SO I UNDERSTAND
THE SHORT LIFESPAN. ISSUE WITH
THE FEW AMENDMENTS AND WHERE
YOU'RE GOING WITH THAT BUT WE
CAN'T JUST LOOK AT THE SHORE
SIDEDNESS OF THESE THINGS.
ESPECIALLY ON ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCERN WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THE
LIFESPAN. HOW LONG IS THIS
PRODUCT GOING TO LAST. IS IT A
FIVE YEAR PRODUCT IN THIS IS
BURNED OUT I GOTTA GO BUY
ANOTHER ONE. AND ANOTHER ONE
AND ANOTHER ONE AND ANOTHER ONE
IN THE IN THESE GUYS OVER HERE
GET RICH. SELLING GREEN ENERGY
BLOWERS. OR DO I BUY THAT
HEARTY. TWO STROKE THIS GOING
TO LAST ME THIRTY YEARS. IN IN
IN I KNOW THAT PRODUCT'S GOING
TO LAST I KNOW IT'S GOING TO DO
THE JOB AND I KNOW I'M NOT
GOING TO BRING THE ENGINE SO
THAT THOSE ARE CONCERNS THAT I
HAVE I HAVE TO A LOT OF THE
SAME CONCERNS AS DR WHAT'S-
WITH MY RURAL COMMUNITIES WHO
GET THE POWER OUTAGES TO GET
THE ROLLING BLACKOUTS WHO DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO THESE OTHER
THINGS. NOW THIS FOR THIS
PROGRAM MY WORK GREAT IN THE
CITY. BUT THE AIR QUALITY IS
ALSO DIFFERENT IN IN YOUR BILL-
TO DIVE A LITTLE MORE INTO
DOCTOR WHICH QUESTIONS. IF YOUR
AIR DISTRICTS GOOD YOUR PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO QUALIFY FOR THESE
PROGRAMS. AND FRANKLY A LOT OF
THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE
THINGS THAT YOU'VE ALREADY
MENTIONED LIKE KARL MOYER IN
THESE OTHER THINGS I KNOW VERY
FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE I WORKED
WITH GOVERNOR BROWN. WHEN WE RE
DID CAP AND TRADE TO ENSURE
FUNDING FOR KARL MOYER IN THESE
OTHER PROGRAMS. THOSE ARE
ALREADY SHORT ON FUNDS. SO WE
HAVE THESE BIGGER MORE LARGE
SCALE THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY
GONNA CARRY MORE WEIGHT. IN
WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH OUR
ENVIRONMENTAL GOOD WITH OUR
CARBON.NEUTRAL GOALS. IN
FRANKLY I. GET WHERE YOU'RE
TRYING TO GO MAN. BUT BUT I
THINK THIS IS JUST IT'S NOT A
BIG ENOUGH THING. IT'S GOING TO
CAUSE A LOT OF EXTRA
ADMINISTRATIVE WORK. OF AND
SUCK UP A LOT MORE FUNDS THAN
IT'S GOING TO BE WORTH. I THINK
WE NEED TO LOOK AT BIGGER
PICTURE THANKS IF WE'RE GONNA
GET OUR STATE TO MORE CARBON
NEUTRAL AREA. IN IN WE'VE GOT A
LOOK AT THE LIFESPAN OF THESE
THINGS BECAUSE IT'S REALLY EASY
TO THINK LIKE OKAY WE'RE GONNA.
TAKE ALL THESE LITTLE ENGINES
OUT. COOL WHERE DID THEY GET IN
UP IN A LANDFILL AND THEY'RE
GONNA DEEPLY THE GROUNDWATER
AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE OTHER
PROBLEMS. SO INTEL WE CAN. LOOK
AT ALL OF THOSE AND LOOK AT
SOMETHING BIGGER PICTURE THAN
JUST A SMALL ENGINE I CAN'T
SUPPORT THIS. BUT IT BUT I DO
APPRECIATE YOUR WORK THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER MATHIS I
REGRET NOT HAVING TAKING NOTES-
LET ME TRY TO. ADDRESS A COUPLE
OF THOSE POINTS OF VERSES AS
MUCH AS YOU AND I. LIKE TO FEEL
LIKE WE'RE VERY YOUNG- WE GOT A
LITTLE BIT OLDER. AND THE
TECHNOLOGIES CHANGED SINCE YOU
WERE OUT THERE ON THE RIDGE-
WITH YOUR WITH YOUR THREE
WHEELER AND THE TRAILER WITH
THIS EQUIPMENT AND THE
EQUIPMENT IS CHANGE
DRAMATICALLY- AND MISTER BERMAN
I'M I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT
BECAUSE I'M ALSO ONE OF TWO
MEMBERS OF THE HUNDRED TWENTY
THAT TOOK THE TIME. TO GO TO
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SCHOOL
FOR LEGISLATORS. AND I HAVEN'T
SEEN YOU ON THAT LIST SO I'M
VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE
TECHNOLOGY AND- I APPLAUD YOU
FOR THAT COMMITMENT MY FRIEND.
THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT ON
BEHALF OF THE OTHER HUNDRED AND
EIGHTEEN OF US. THE IT'S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT. THE
FARM EQUIPMENT. CONSTRUCTION
AND FARM EQUIPMENT IS FEDERALLY
PREEMPTED. IT'S SO IT'S SO
THAT- YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD THAT
SHOULD HOPEFULLY ADDRESS SOME
OF THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE.
IF YOU BY LIKE YOU SAID I THINK
A CHAINSAW THAT'S GONNA LAST
THIRTY YEARS. YOU CAN KEEP
USING IT FOR THIRTY YEARS. MY
BILL DOES NOT BAN YOU FROM
USING ANY GAS POWERED
EQUIPMENT. THAT YOU BUY BEFORE
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR OR AFTER
ONCE CARBON. MAKES THE
REGULATIONS- SO. YOU KNOW IF
YOU'RE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT
THAT THAN A TWENTY TWENTY
THREE. YOU CAN STOCK UP AND USE
THAT STUFF UNTIL UNTIL YOU'RE
WELL INTO YOUR RETIREMENT
YEARS- THAT YOU CAN. TAKE THE
BATTERIES BACK TO. I MEAN YOU.
LIKE OR A- BIT. LIKE HOME D.
FOR A PSYCH. OF THE BATTERIES
YOU MENTIONED. I HOPE BONTA
BUNCH OF PEOPLE MAKE A WHOLE
LOT OF MONEY. THE SAME
COMPANIES THAT MAKE THE GAS
POWERED EQUIPMENT ALSO MAKE THE
ELECTRIC POWERED EQUIPMENT SO
IT'S THE SAME COMPANIES-
WHETHER YOU BOUGHT A GAS
POWERED OR THE ELECTRIC- BUT I
PUT IT IN AND YOU KIND OF TRY
TO MINIMIZE. THE IMPACT OF
STORE EMISSIONS ON THE
ENVIRONMENT. I THINK. I LOOK
FORWARD TO HAVING MORE
DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU ABOUT
EXACTLY HOW BIG OF AN IMPACT
THIS IS- LIKE I MENTIONED IN
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. DALY
EMISSIONS FROM STORE ARE
PROJECTED TO SURPASS. THOSE
FROM PASSENGER CARS. I THINK
THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL I
THINK THAT'S A PRETTY BIG DEAL
ON SOMETHING THAT THE
LEGISLATURE SHOULD ADDRESS- YOU
TALK ABOUT THE LONG TERM IMPACT
OF THINGS. I THINK THERE'S NO
BIGGER LONG TERM IMPACT ON
CLIMATE CHANGE. AN THEN AND
THEN TO REDUCE THESE A MISS-
FOR THE FUTURE. SO I YOU AND I
HAVE A FOR. DISAGREE ON SOME OF
THESE. I THE CONCERNS THAT
YOU'RE RAISED I'LL TRY TO WORK
WITH YOU. TO ADDRESS THEM
HOPEFULLY SOME OF THE THINGS I
SAID. ADDRESS SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE- BUT I
RESPECT WHERE YOU'RE COMING
FROM THAT YOU PROBABLY WANT IT
WOULDN'T GO ANY TO. TAKE ON
SOME BIGGER CLIMATE CHANGE
ISSUES LET LET ME NOW I WILL I
APPRECIATE THAT IMITATION THANK
YOU MISTER MATHIS. THANK YOU
MISTER. AND WELL WE WENT ON
THAT JOURNEY WITH DEVON HELLO
GOOD JOURNEY THROUGH HIS
CHILDHOOD- I WAS I ONE SIMPLE.
AND WE WENT BACK ALREADY- WHERE
IS THE FUNDING COMING FROM AND
ACTUALLY THERE ARE A FEW OF US
THAT ARE ARE FIERCELY
PROTECTIVE OF SOME OF THE
EXISTING PROGRAMS THAT ARE IN
PLACE- WE GOT THIS NOT KICKED
OUT OF THIS BECAUSE WE
SUPPORTED FORMER PROGRAM YOU
KNOW SOME OF THOSE ISSUES AS IT
RELATES TO LARGER HORSEPOWER
ENGINES. WHERE IS THE FUNDING
COMING FROM AND OUT OF WHAT
BUCKET IS IT COMING FROM. BUT
THAT'S ALL THE LIKE YEAH SO
HOLES ARE GOING TO GO FIND THAT.
THIS AGAIN BILL BUT A MESS
APPEAR. ON THAT JOURNEY- WHICH.
ONE WITH US FOR PUTTING ON THE
SPOT NO NO NO IT'S A GOOD
QUESTION- THAT I JUST. KIND OF
GOT. LOST IN ALL MY NOTED HERE-
I'M THE FUNDING IS COMING FROM
DIFFERENT REBATE INCENTIVE
PROGRAMS THAT THAT ALREADY
EXIST- SO I MEAN I THINK TO GET
TO THE CRUX OF YOUR QUESTION-
YEAH THAT'S THE THERE THERE'S-
REBATE PROGRAMS. UNDER CARBON
OF THE DEVON AIR QUALITY
DISTRICTS- AND THAT'S WHAT THE
PHONE WILL COME FROM OKAY THANK
YOU SO MUCH THANKS. AND I'LL
GET BACK TO WITH WITH MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT
THAT. MISTER SERRA. THANK YOU.
ARE SO I THINK OF YOU HAVE
HEARD FROM- THE COLLECTION OF.
ALL OF OUR COLLEAGUES HERE-
DIFFERENT AREAS HAVE DIFFERENT
REQUIREMENTS AND- CITIES OUT IN
RURAL AREAS HAVE MUCH
DIFFERENT- ENVIRONMENTS- THEN
THEY DO AND ABILITIES TO TRYING
UC'S EQUIPMENT- I MYSELF HAVE A
COMBINATION OF ALL OF THOSE AND
SOMETIMES ONE PIECE OF COURT
AND THAT'S WORK I SWITCHED TO
THE OTHER ONE- I GO THROUGH BAD.
A LOT WHICH CONCERNS ME. AND
BUT YOU KNOWONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I KNOW EXISTS TODAY. IS
THAT LOCAL AGENCIES COMMUNITY
CITIES LIKE LOS ANGELES. HAVE
THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO BE
THESE IF THEY WANT. AND SO I
THINK IT'S REALLY MORE OF A
LOCAL CONTROL THING THAT I
THINK LOCAL LOCALITIES SHOULD
DETERMINE- WHAT WORKS FOR THEIR
AREA WHAT WORKS FOR THEIR
WORKERS. AND YOU KNOW AND ALLOW
THEM TO DO THAT- AND I WOULD
HOPE THAT. YOU KNOW AS WE DROP
THE EMISSIONS ON CARS YES
INDIVIDUALLY THE CARS WILL BE
SO LOW THAT ANYTHING ELSE AND
IT PRODUCES ANYTHING WILL BE
HIGHER. AND AND SO- YEAH I
THINK THERE'S A LOT OF
COLLATERAL DAMAGE BUT THIS WITH
THIS TYPE OF LEGISLATION- WE
ALL WANT CLEAN AIR- BUT- YOU
KNOW I THINK BECAUSE YOU KNOW
THERE'S A LOT. OF LIVELIHOODS
THAT DEPEND ON THIS THAT. THEY
CAN BE IN. SO- THAT THOSE ARE
MY- OKAY. THAT AND I USED TO
SERVE ON A CITY COUNCIL PALO
ALTO WITH THAT BAND- GAS
POWERED LEAF BLOWERS IN IT I
DID TALK TO. THIS IS A LITTLE
DIFFERENT. BECAUSE I'M NOT
TRYING TO BAN THE USE. YOU KNOW
COME A CERTAIN DATE I'M SAYING
LET'S BAN THE SALE OF NEW ONES-
BUT BUTI APPRECIATE THE POINT
ON THE LOCAL CONTROL- FRONT
AND- YOU KNOW IS. THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO CRAFT A BILL THAT NEW
WANTS ENOUGH TO ADDRESS ALL THE
DIFFERENT- YOU KNOW REGIONS IN
THE POLICIES OF CALIFORNIA BUT
BUT UNDERSTAND THAT. CONCERNS
EXIST PROJECT. ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS. OKAY I'D LIKE TO-
THANK YOU AND THE OTHER AUTHORS
OF THIS LEGISLATION FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD- TO
ADDRESS WHAT IS A SIGNIFICANT
STATEWIDE ISSUE IMPACTING AIR
QUALITY YEAH THE SMALL AND JUST
SMALL ENGINES ARE WELL KNOWN
FOR THEIR EMISSIONS AND NOISE
POLLUTION WHILE I'M SUPPORTING
THE BILL TODAY- I WOULD LIKE
YOU TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
THE CONCERNS RAISED IN THE
ANALYSIS A REGARDING COMMERCIAL
APPLICATION. OF YOU KNOW I KNOW
PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT WANT TO
BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY BUT
THEY ALSO NEED TO MAKE A LIVING
YOU KNOW I HAVE A LOT OF
LANDSCAPERS AND GARDENERS THAT
LIVE IN MY DISTRICT THAT USE
LAWN EQUIPMENT- AND YOU KNOW
POTENTIALLY COULD NOT AFFORD ON
THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY AND SO I
KNOW WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED THIS
BEFORE ABOUT FINDING A FUNDING
SOURCE I'M AND I YOU HAVE
COMMITTED TO DOING THAT AND TO
MAKING SURE THAT THAT. WILL BE
AVAILABLE BECAUSE A LOT OF THE
PROGRAMS EXISTING PROGRAMS ARE
ALREADY OVER SUBSCRIBED AND SO
IF WE REALLY WANT TO MOVE IN
THIS DIRECTION WE DO NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT FUNDING IS
AVAILABLE- ALSO YOU KNOW
BATTERY TECHNOLOGY MAKES IT
CHALLENGING YOU KNOW FOR ON THE
SMALL BUSINESSES- TO STOCK UP
AND ON MULTIPLE %TERIES
BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO NEED
THEM THROUGHOUT THE DAY TO DO
THEIR WORK- I KNOW IN LOS
ANGELES A LOT OF OUR
LANDSCAPERS MOVE FROM- MULTIPLE
HOMES IN ONE DAY ALL ACROSS THE
CITY. RIGHT YOU KNOW IN IN THIS
AREA IN THIS LARGE AREA I'M AND
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
THEY WILL BE CONTINUING. AND
ABLE DO THEIR WORK YOU KNOW
THEY'RE JUST PROVIDE DOING THIS
TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES
HELLO THANK YOU FOR- COMMITTEE
INTO THAT. OKAY THAT- MADAM
CHAIR AND THE- YEAH PRESERVE
THE CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE
HAD AND I TRIED TO HAVE A LOT
OF CONVERSATIONS BEFORE YOU
WERE INTRODUCED THE BILL
BECAUSE I KNEW THE
SENSITIVITIES. HISTORIC
SENSITIVITIES THAT THAT MR
MCCARTY RAISED AND IT IS. YOUR
CONSTITUENTS IT IS YEAH THE
LANDSCAPE WORKERS AND GARDENERS
THAT I'M TRYING TO LOOK OUT
FOR. BECAUSE CURRENTLY HAVING
GAS POWER MACHINES ON THEIR
BACKS EIGHT TO TEN HOURS A DAY.
SPEWING FUMES RIGHT NEXT TO
THEIR NOSE IN THEIR MOUTH. IS
DAN- AND WE NEED TO MOVE IN A
HEALTHIER DIRECTION. FOR THEM I
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU- THAT WE
ALSO NEED TO MAKES THAT IT'S-
FOR- SO YEAH THAT'S GOING TO A
BIGGER THAT WE'RE TO CONTINUE.
ON AND THE DISPERSAL BILL OR
GOVERNMENT TO TRY TO ADDRESS
THAT TO CREATE MORE FLEXIBILITY
FOR DISTRICTS TO PLUG PROVIDE.
MORE COMMERCIAL REBATES. IN
ADDITION TO THE RESIDENTIAL
REBATES THEY ALREADY PROVIDE SO
IT SO I APPRECIATE THAT AND-
YOU KNOW THE- CREATE YOUR YOUR
YOUR WORK WITH ME ON THIS SURE
IS. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE THE
VALUES THAT IS MY CLOTHES OR
USE THAT AS MY CLOTHES THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. OF THE MOTION
IS DUE PASSED TO APPROPRIATIONS
I'M NOT SURE IF AND IF ANYONE
HAS. MOVED THAT SOMEONE ALREADY

GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS AB THIRTEEN NINETY
WOULD PROVIDE THE STATE LANDS
COMMISSION WITH MORE
FLEXIBILITY TO GENERATE
ADDITIONAL REVENUES FOR RETIRED
TEACHERS AND FACILITATE
RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ON
SCHOOL LANDS SCHOOL LANDS ARE
LANDS THAT ARE GRANTED TO THE
STATE FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO GENERATE REVENUE
THE BENEFIT SCHOOLS THE SCHOOL
ANSWER DIFFICULT TO MANAGE
OFTEN BECAUSE THEY'RE BROKEN UP
INTO NON CONTIGUOUS SQUARE MILE
PARCELS. BECAUSE CONSOLIDATION
OF SCHOOL PARCELS INTO
CONTIGUOUS HOLDINGS IS MORE
EFFECTIVE EXISTING LAW
AUTHORIZES THE COMMISSION TO
SELL ISOLATED NON ECONOMIC
SCHOOL AND USE THE FUNDS FROM
THE SALES TO PURCHASE READ A
REAL PROPERTY THAT WILL
GENERATE ADDITIONAL REVENUES
THE PROBLEM UNDER EXISTING LAW
IS THAT THE COMMISSION IS
CONSTRAINED BY THE EXISTING 5%
CAP USE THE FUNDS TO PAY
ANCILLARY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
LAND PURCHASES. IN ADDITION
IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT THIRD PARTY
COSTS ARE FOR SPECIFIC SEAL IN
THE COMMISSION CANNOT MAKE A
DOWN PAYMENT ON A LAND PURCHASE
ON A TIMELY FASHION BECAUSE
THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY
TO DO SO AB THIRTEEN NINETY
CLARIFIES THAT THE COMMISSION
CAMPAIGN BETWEEN LAND
ACQUISITION COSTS AND REMOVES
THE 5% CAP ON THESE EXPENSES
THE BILL AUTHORIZES THE
COMMISSION TO DELEGATE
AUTHORITY TO THE EXECUTIVE
OFFICER TO MAKE A DOWN PAYMENT
FOR POTENTIAL LAND ACQUISITIONS
AND BEYOND THE LEVEL PLAYING
FIELD WITH OTHER PARTICIPANTS
IN THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. IT
ALSO PROVIDES THE COMMISSION
MORE FLEXIBILITY WHEN IT
THOUSAND GIVE OR CONVEYS LANDS
IN A MANNER THAT RESULTS IN
RETURNING ANCESTRAL LANDS TO
NATIVE AMERICAN TRIBES I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE TESTIFYING SUPPORT INTO

LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LANDS
COMMISSION AND SPEAKING IN
SUPPORT OF AB THIRTEEN NINETY
I'LL JUST BE BRIEF SEVERAL
DECADES AGO THE LEGISLATURE
CREATED A SCHOOL AND BANK FUND
AND AS THE TRUSTEE OF THE FUND
THE COMMISSION'S REQUIRED TO
INVEST REVENUE IN THE FUND TO
ACQUIRE PROPERTY TO GENERATE
REVENUE FOR CAL STARS. THE
STATE HAD BORROWED MOST OF THAT
MONEY IN RECENT YEARS- BUT
RECENTLY REPAID WITH INTEREST
AND MARK PURSUING AN INVESTMENT
STRATEGY ON THE PART OF THAT
PROCESS WE'VE IDENTIFIED A FEW
CONSTRAINTS THAT MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR US TO DO THAT FOR
THE BILL SIMPLY REMOVES THOSE
CONSTRAINTS AND IMPROVE THE
COMMISSION COMPETITIVENESS IN
THE MARKET. AND POSITION WITH
THE LAND COMMISSION TO PURSUE
INVESTMENTS THAT WILL GENERATE
MORE MONEY FOR RETIRED TEACHERS
THANK YOU AND I'M. AVAILABLE TO

MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY
THANKING YOU IN YOUR COMMITTEE
STAFFER HEARING THE BILL AND
INDICATE THAT I ALSO WILL BE
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. CALIFORNIA
HAS BEEN A GLOBAL LEADER IN
COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE OUR
STATE HAS LED THE WAY AN
AGGRESSIVE EMISSION REDUCTIONS
WHILE EXPANDING OUR ECONOMY TO
BE THE FIFTH LARGEST IN THE
WORLD. ALTHOUGH THIS TEST THERE
HAS BEEN GREAT PROGRESS THERE
IS MORE AND MORE EVIDENCE
SHOWING THAT OUR INVESTMENTS TO
FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE ARE NOT
GOING TO THE COMMUNITIES WHERE
FUND. THING IS MOST NEEDED.
EIGHT JUNE TWENTY TEN TWENTY
REPORT AUTHORED BY THE STAFF
AND YOU. CENTER FOR SIXTEEN
COMMUNITIES. THE STRUCTURE OF A
CLAIM INVESTMENT. IS SKEWED TO.
THE MOST AFFLUENT COMMUNITIES
IN OUR STATE. THIS HAS COME TO
THE X. AT THE EXPENSE OF
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES AS
THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY LESS
ABILITY OR RESOURCES TO
ACCESSING EXISTING PROGRAMS AND
INCENTIVES. FOLDABLE COMMITTEE
ARE BEING BY THE WAYSIDE AS OUR
STATE ADDRESSES CLIMATE CHANGE.
AB SIXTY EIGHTY HIT HELPS TO
BRIDGE THAT GAP BY IMPLEMENTING
KEY POLICIES RECOMMENDED IN THE
CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT BOARD'S RECENT
REPORT. PUTTING ALIFORNIA ON
THE HIGH ROAD I JOBS IN CLIMATE
ACTION PLAN FOR TWENTY THIRTY.
EIGHTY SIX EIGHTY REQUIRED GIGI
R. F. APPLICANTS TO USE FAIR
AND RESPONSIBLE EMPLOYER
STANDARDS TO PROMOTE HIGH
QUALITY JOBS. INCLUSIVE
PROCUREMENT POLICIES TO MAKE
SURE APPLICANTS ARE CONTRACTING
WITH OTHER RESPONSIBLE ENTITIES
AND PREVAILING WAGE FOR
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. THE BILL
WOULD FURTHER PRIORITIZE
APPLICANTS THAT PARTNER WITH
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND
TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT TARGET
RESIDENTS OF DISADVANTAGED
TRIBAL AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES IN THE SAME REGION
ASK THE PROJECT. THESE
PROVISIONS WHICH ARE JUST A FEW
OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS PROPOSED
BY C. W. D. B.'S HI REPORT WILL
PUT PRINCIPLES OF EQUITY ON THE
FRONT END OF THE APPLICATION
PROCESS RATHER THAN AN
AFTERTHOUGHT. I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST AN AYE VOTE ON AB
EIGHTY TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR
COMMUNITIES WHICH NEED THAT
THESE CLIMATE INVESTMENTS ARE
NOT LEFT BEHIND. THANK YOU- WE
DON'T HAVE ANY WITNESSES
REGISTERED. IN SUPPORT WE HAVE
ONE IN OPPOSITION WE HAVE
RICHARD MARCUSSEN FROM THE
WESTERN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
ASSOCIATION. MODERATOR CAN YOU
PLEASE OPEN THE PHONE LINE FOR
THE WITNESS. THANK YOU YOUR
LINE IS OPEN. A GOOD MORNING A
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THIS IS RICHARD
MARCUSSEN FOR THE WESTERN
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
ASSOCIATION WITH HIS OPPOSITION
IS LIMITED TO A SINGLE SENTENCE
IN THE BILL IT'S ON PAGE FOUR
AT LINE THIRTY ONE IT REQUIRES
THAT A CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS-
PURSUED UNDER THE GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION FUND PROGRAM I
HAVE TO HAVE A PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENT. INCLUDED IN THEM THE
STATE AUDITOR MADE A NUMBER OF
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WAYS TO
IMPROVE THE STATE'S USE OF CAP
AND TRADE PROCEEDS TO MAXIMIZE
THE REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS IN THE STATE BUT
NOWHERE IN THE REPORT WAS THERE
ANY MENTION. THAT A PROJECT
LABOR AGREEMENT WOULD IMPROVE
THE PROGRAM'S EFFICACY THERE
ARE AT LEAST TWENTY FIVE
DIFFERENT STATE AGENCIES WHO
RECEIVED OVER TWELVE BILLION
DOLLARS IN PROCEEDS FROM. CAP
AND TRADE SINCE IT WAS
INITIATED- THE STATE REPORT.
THAT THE STATE REPORTS THAT
OVER FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY
THOUSAND PROJECTS HAVE BEEN
IMPLEMENTED SINCE THE PROGRAM'S
INCEPTION. AND WELL LIGHTED THE
STATE CLIMATE INVESTMENTS OR A
OR B. WEBSITES BREAK DOWN HOW
MUCH OF THE TWELVE BILLION
DOLLARS WAS FOR CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS GREATER THAN A MILLION
DOLLARS. YOU CAN EASILY
ENVISION HOW THE REQUIREMENT
FOR PLA'S. WILL ADD SUBSTANTIAL
BURDEN. BOTH TO THE STATE
AGENCIES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR ADMINISTERING THE FUNDS.
BUT ALSO TO THE GRANT
RECIPIENTS TO NEGOTIATE AND
EXECUTE A P. L. A. IN ORDER TO
RECEIVE THEIR FUNDS.
FURTHERMORE STUDIES OF SCHOOL
CONSTRUCTION HAVE SHOWN THE
PLA'S AND 15218% TO THE COST OF
CONSTRUCTION. MEANING THE
SINGLE SENTENCE IN AB SIX
EIGHTY IS CURRENTLY CRAFTED
WILL RESULT IN A DECREASE IN
THE AMOUNT OF WORK TO REDUCE
THE IMPACT OF GREENHOUSE GAS.
THAT HAS ON THE ENVIRONMENT FOR
THIS REASON A WEEK IS SUPPOSED.
UNLESS AMENDED TO A. B. SIX
EIGHTY THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU I'M NEXT WILL OPEN

THREE. CLIMATE CHANGE IS
IMPACTING THE HEALTH OF
CALIFORNIANS NOW
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTING
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR AND LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES WE NEED

WATER QUALITY BUT SOME CLIMATE
POLICIES CAN WORSEN HELP POORLY
DONE HOME WEATHERIZATION CAN
WORSEN INDOOR AIR QUALITY CAP
AND TRADE CAN PERPETUATE
UNACCEPTABLE HEALTH INEQUITIES.
CALIFORNIANS WILL SPEND A LOT
OF MONEY TO ADDRESS CLIMATE
CHANGE INCORPORATING A BETTER

MORNING I'M WILL THERE AT THE
DIRECTOR OF CLEAN AIR ADVOCACY
WITH THE AMERICAN LUNG
ASSOCIATION IN CALIFORNIA ALSO
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT IN
FOLLOWING DR RUDOLPH COMMENT I
WOULD START BY NOTING THAT I'M
MORE COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH
EVALUATION OF THE SCOPING PLAN
AND MEASURES THAT FOLLOWS
COKING PLANT IS A HIGH PRIORITY
FOR THE AMERICAN LUNG SAID AND
MANY OF OUR PUBLIC HEALTH
PARTNERS. WOULD YOU THE
UPCOMING SCOPING PLAN AS A
CRITICAL EFFORT TO CHART
CALIFORNIA'S COURTS RAPIDLY
AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS WILL BE
ENGAGING WITH THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD THROUGHOUT THAT PROCESS
AND SHARE THE AGENCY PUBLIC
HEALTH FOCUSED MISSION THERE'S
NO QUESTION THAT THE SCOPING
PLANTED THE MAJOR TOUCH POINT
CALIFORNIA'S LEADERSHIP IN
REDUCING CLIMATE POLLUTION. THE
SCOPING PLAN WILL RESULT IN
SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS AND
INVESTMENT TO BE UNDERTAKEN
OVER THE COMING DECADE TO REACH
OUR HELP PROTECT THE CLIMATE
STANDARDS THIS BILL WILL ENSURE
THAT AT THE PLANT DEVELOP KARBI
UTILIZED BOTH INTERNAL AND
EXTERNAL EXPERTISE TO EVALUATE
QUALITATIVELY AND
QUANTITATIVELY TO THE EXTENT
POSSIBLE THE POTENTIAL IMPACT
AND BENEFIT. OF THE SCOPING
PLAN AND ASSOCIATED STRATEGIES
TO FOLLOW THE BILL ALSO CALLS
FOR CARD TO DETERMINE WHAT
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WOULD BE
NEEDED TO ADVANCE THIS
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH ANALYSIS.
IF THOSE ARE NOT CURRENTLY
AVAILABLE. THE BOTTOM LINE HERE
I THINK THAT A CAR MOVES. TO
DEVELOP THE TWENTY TWO AND
FUTURE ITERATIONS OF THE
SCOPING PLAN. THE MORE
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH
EVALUATION. WILL REALLY ALLOW
FOR DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THE
WAYS THAT THE POLICIES THAT
CALIFORNIA PURSUES MIGHT
INTERACT WITH HEALTH AND HEALTH
EQUITY. EITHER POSITIVELY OR
NEGATIVELY. THE PROCESS CAN
HELP THE REALLY TO IDENTIFY
WHICH POLICIES MIGHT NEED TO
BREAK BE PRIORITIZED GOING

BEEN ESPECIALLY CHALLENGE
WITHOUT SAFE SPACES TO PROTECT
VULNERABLE RESIDENTS. FROM
EXTREME CONDITIONS. RESILIENCE

CLEAN ENERGY AND PUBLIC HEALTH
UPGRADES TO OFFER COMMUNITIES
SAFE SPACES TO GATHER ACCESS
CRITICAL SERVICES LIKE BACKUP
POWER REFRIGERATION AND CLEAN

GOES BEYOND DISASTER RESPONSE
BY CREATING HUBS WHERE PEOPLE
CAN ACCESS EVERYDAY SERVICES

CHANGING CLIMATE. THE CURRENT
PATCHWORK OF PROGRAMS HAS BEEN
INSUFFICIENT WELL THERE ARE
SEVERAL PROGRAMS FOR ENERGY
EFFICIENCY SOLAR AND BATTERY
STORAGE COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO
EXPERIENCE OBSTACLES ACCESSING
BENEFITS ACROSS THESE
OPPORTUNITIES. BY REDIRECTING A
VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE
CLIMATE CREDIT THIS BILL MAKES
POSSIBLE COMMUNITY SKILLED

NO FURTHER COMMENTS THANK YOU
AT THIS TIME HER THINK WE WERE
AT THE FIVE MINUTE GOOD MORNING
GOOD MORNING MEMBERS I'M WE'RE
AT FIVE MINUTES- OF ACCEPTING
WITNESSES- IN WHICH- WE ARE
LIMITING IT TO BUT IF THERE IS
ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO
SUBMIT. OF THEIR POSITION ON
THIS BILL- YOU CAN DO IT VIA
OUR WEBSITE THE COMMITTEE'S
WEBSITE THANK YOU. I'M AT. DO
WE HAVE ANY WITNESSES IN THE
HEARING ROOM I DON'T SEE ANY
WITNESSES IN THE REMOTE
LOCATION. THERE ARE NONE- ANY
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. I REQUEST MR SARATH
SO DO YOU HAVE AN ESTIMATE OF
HOW MUCH THE SHIFT IS FROM
CONSUMERS INTO THIS PROGRAM.
ABSOLUTELY SO- FIRST OF ALL I
SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT WHEN
WE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED THIS
BILL WE PROPOSED AN EIGHTY FIVE
PERCENT- USE OF THE CLIMATE
CREDIT IN THE LAST COMMITTEE
THAT OT TAKEN DOWN FROM 85%
DOWN TO FIVE PERCENT. BOB SO
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A VERY
SMALL PORTION OF THE COST OF
THE CLIMATE CREDIT- THERE WILL
BE NO IMPACT ON LOW INCOME
CUSTOMERS BECAUSE WE EXEMPT
OUT- FOLKS ARE PARTICIPATING IN
THE CARE PROGRAM AND IN THE
FAIR PROGRAM. AND THEN WITHIN
MINUTES WERE TAKEN IN THIS
COMMITTEE WE'RE ACTUALLY ALSO
EXEMPTING OUT INDUSTRIAL
ASSISTANCE AND SMALL BUSINESS
CREDIT SO. THERE WILL BE NO
IMPACT AND NO NON RESIDENTIAL
CUSTOMERS AS WELL AS NO IMPACT
ON GIGI R. F. OR ANY THE
PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORTED THERE
SO THE CUSTOMERS WHO WILL BE
IMPACTED WILL ONLY SEE A
REDUCTION OF ABOUT FIFTY CENTS
PER MONTH. SO THAT'S WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. I'M I'M TALKING
ABOUT THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THE
TOTAL MARKET SURE I THINK IT'S-
I THINK IT'S IN THE FORTY
MILLION RANGE I'M JUST I WANT
TO ASK- MERION FROM ENERGY SEE
IF YOU HAVE THE NUMBER. THE
FINAL NUMBER. YEAH IT'S- IT'S
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
FOR FIVE YEARS. THE FIFTY FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR FOR FIVE
YEARS AND HOW MUCH IS THIS
PROGRAM. GOING TO I MEAN IF THE
PROGRAM WERE DONE BECAUSE
BEFORE YOU SAID THESE ARE
ENERGY I MEAN IT WAS BROUGHT
DOWN TO FIVE PERCENT. AND SO
OBVIOUSLY AT 80% THEY THOUGHT
THEY WERE GOING TO BE FUNDING
MUCH MORE IS THAT HOW MUCH. A
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM WOULD BE.
WELL IT LET ME LET ME JUST SAY
WHAT I THINK THERE IS CONSENSUS
ON FROM EVERYONE INVOLVED THIS
CONVERSATION WITH YOU SUPPORT
THIS PROPOSAL WHICH IS THE NEED
IS SOMETHING WE ALL SHARE WE
KNOW THAT THESE ARE. COMMUNITY
HUBS RESILIENCY HUBS THAT NEED
TO BE HARDENED AGAINST CLIMATE
CHANGE AND CLIMATE CRISIS- IT
OPEN UP TO ME. OBVIOUSLY WENT
FROM EIGHTY FIVE DOWN 25% SO I
WOULD'VE BEEN FINE FOR US TO.
HAVE EXPENDITURES SEVENTEEN
TIMES OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. BUT BUT AT LEAST BEING
ABLE TO DO SOMETHING IN THE
SPACE IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL
AND WE THINK- AND CERTAINLY THE
LAST COMMITTEE- UNC. THOUGHT
THAT IT MADE SENSE FOR US TO
MOVE FORWARD OF THIS SO THAT WE
PILOTED. A FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS CD IMPACT- BECAUSE WE
NOTICE ARE AVAILABLE
COMMUNITIES IT'S OUR LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. IT'S A LOT OF OUR
RURAL COMMUNITIES- THAT ARE IN
DIRE NEED OF THIS I KNOW FOR
YOURSELF AS A FORMER
FIREFIGHTER YOU KNOW THAT
ACUTELY. RIGHT AND I DO KNOW
THAT ACUTELY AND THAT'S WHY FOR
ME IT'S MORE OF AN ISSUE OF.
THE PROGRAM IS DESPERATELY
NEEDED. BUT WERE JUST MINIMALLY
FUNDING IT AND WE'RE DOING THAT
ON YOU KNOW BY TRANSFERRING
MONEY FROM CONSUMERS ENDED THIS
INSTEAD OF USING SOME OF THE
MONEY THEY'VE ALREADY PAID IN
TAXES. AND CREATED THIS LARGE
BUDGET THAT WE HAVE- BUDGET
SURPLUS THAT WE HAVE. WE SHOULD
JUST PARTNER PRO USING THAT SO
SOME OF THAT SURPLUS TO DO THIS
BECAUSE THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT. SOURCE OF THIS
LITTLE DROP IN THE BUCKET MONEY
IS NOT GOING TO. MAKE A HUGE
IMPACT ON THIS ON THIS ISSUE IN
THE NEAR TERM WHICH IS WHEN IT
NEEDS TO BE DONE. SO THAT'S MY
ISSUE WITH IT SO THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE THAT AND I KNOW YOU
KNOW LISTEN. TO A FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS IS NOT TRIVIAL. AND
THERE HASN'T BEEN CONSISTENT IN
THE PAST ON EXACTLY HOW WHAT
MONIES WE USE AND SO WE THINK
THAT THIS IS THE BEST. A
PROPOSAL TO MOVE THIS FORWARD
IN A TIMELY WAY- BUT AGAIN
RESPECTFULLY I. APPRECIATE THAT
THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF
OPINION ON THIS. THANK YOU ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS FOR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE. MR TWO WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE CERTAINLY YOU
KNOW AS I STATED BEFORE- THIS
IS A MODEST AMOUNT OF FUNDING
TO HELP UPGRADE CRITICAL
FACILITIES AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES TO INCREASE
RESILIENCY OF OUR COMMUNITY
STERN CLIMATE CRISIS AND WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
SUPPORT. THE MOTION. IS TO PASS

RESOURCES BOARD IMPLEMENTS A
CLEAN TRUCK BUS AND OFF ROAD
VEHICLE PROGRAM. US OTHERS WERE
GETTING THESE CLEAN TRUCKS OUT
THERE BUT IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE
USE OF THOSE TRUCKS. VIA A PEER
TO PEER TRUCK SHARING PLATFORM.
THAT MEANS ALTHOUGH WE HAVE
CLEAN TRUCKS SOME OF THEM ARE
SITTING IDLE WHEN THEY MIGHT
OTHERWISE BE USED. IF THEY WERE
SHARED- THIS BILL ALLOWS FOR A
DEMONSTRATION WHERE USERS CAN
PLACE YOUR VEHICLE ON A TRUCK
SHARING PLATFORM. WHICH WILL
PERMIT THE VEHICLE BE USED
INSTEAD OF SITTING IDLE. IT
WILL HELP CALIFORNIA IN OUR
QUEST TO REACH. OUR GREENHOUSE
GAS REDUCTION GOALS. BY USING A
CREATIVE IDEA LET'S SMALLER AND
INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES AND
INDEPENDENT OVER TRUCK DRIVERS-
USER TRUCKS MORE. AND HAVE
ACCESS TO A BROAD ARRAY OF

DESTRUCTIVENESS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. USING FOR
AN AVERAGE OF ABOUT SIXTY
THOUSAND ACRES ANNUALLY BETWEEN
THE NINETEEN FIFTIES THE
NINETEEN NINETIES TO MORE THAN
ONE MILLION ACRES ANNUALLY THIS
DECADE. THE CONDITION OF
CALIFORNIA'S FORCE HAVE LED TO
HIGHER INTENSITY WILDFIRES THAT
ARE FAR MORE DESTRUCTIVE. THAN
WHEN THE FORESTS AND WILDLANDS
WE'RE IN A MORE ECOLOGICALLY
BENEFICIAL RESILIENT INDIVIDUAL.
WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA HAVE
ALSO BECOME ONE OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT SOURCES OF
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
POLLUTION. IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN A

STATE FEDERAL AGENCIES FINALIZE
CALIFORNIA'S FORCE CARBON PLAN
TO SET GOALS TO IMPROVE FOREST
HEALTH. EVENT AND REDUCE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM
HIGH SEVERITY WILDFIRES AND
PROMOTE CARBON SIX QUEST

THE PLAN IS THE RESULT OF
SEVERAL YEARS OF CAREFUL
COLLABORATION INCLUDES
VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AND FUELS

CARBON PLAN SCHOOLS ALSO SERVE
AS THE FOUNDATION FOR GOVERNOR
NEWSOM'S MOST RECENT FORCE
MANAGEMENT TASK FORCE ACTION
PLAN. WELL OFTEN CITED AS A
ROAD MAP FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS
FROM CALIFORNIA'S DEVASTATING
WILDFIRES. THE CALIFORNIA
FOREST CARBON PLAN GOALS HAVE
NO STATUTORY AUTHORITY BEHIND
THEM. TO DEMONSTRATE THE
STATE'S COMMITMENTS TO
IMPROVING FOREST HEALTH. REDUCE
THE RISK OF WILDFIE AND
INCREASING CARBON SEQUESTRATION.
AB FOURTEEN THIRTY ONE DOES THE
FOLLOWING. CODIFIES THE HIGHEST
PRIORITY GOALS OF CALIFORNIA'S
CALIFORNIA FOREST CARBON PLAN
AND STRESSES THE URGENCY OF
IMPROVING FOREST HEALTH. AND
REDUCING GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS FROM WILDFIRES. IT
REQUIRES THE STATE TO IDENTIFY
THE FOUR RESOURCES NECESSARY TO
ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. AND
FINALLY PROVIDES THE
LEGISLATURE GREATER OVERSIGHT
BY REQUIRING. CAL THE
CALIFORNIA NATURAL RESOURCES
AGENCY AND CAL EPA TO REPORT
ANNUALLY ON THE PROGRESS OF
MEETING THESE GOALS. I DO

SO THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL PART
IS ALREADY DONE- SEQUEL IS ONE
OF THOSE DOCUMENTS THAT. I'M
I'M HOPING IS INCLUDED WHEN
THEY DO THE PLAN SO THAT EACH

DOWN. OR NOT ENABLE THESE
PROJECTS TO GET DONE IN A
TIMELY MANNER. SO EQUAL COVERED

THING AT THIS POINT AND YOU

PLANNED FOR- BUT THAT'S NOT
BEING HEARD SO- IT'S UP TO EACH
OF YOU THE INDIVIDUAL BILLS

TO PRESENT AB NINE SIX TWO. SO
FIRST I WANT TO SAY THAT I AM
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS. AB NINE SIX TWO
WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR
REFILLABLE BEVERAGE BOTTLES.
BOTTLE SYSTEMS IN CALIFORNIA BY
ALLOWING BOTTLES TO FLOW
THROUGH. THE CAL RECYCLE
BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING
PROGRAM. RATHER THAN BEING
CRASHED FOR RECYCLING THE
BOTTLES CAN BE PRESERVED TO BE
WASHED AND RE FILLED BY
BEVERAGE PRODUCERS
SIMULTANEOUSLY CREATING JOBS
AND REDUCING WASTE. THE DATA
SHOWS CALIFORNIANS PRODUCED AN
AVERAGE OF TWO TO THREE PACKAGE
TO PURCHASE. AN AVERAGE OF TWO
TO THREE PACKAGE DRINKS EVERY
DAY NINETY NINE POINT 9% OF
WHICH ARE SINGLE USE GLASS
PLASTIC METAL. OR PAPERBOARD
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS THE LARGEST
CATEGORY OF THESE ARE BEVERAGES
COVERED BY THE CALIFORNIA'S
BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING
PROGRAM. WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR
JUST OVER TWENTY FIVE BILLION
SINGLE USE CONTAINERS ANNUALLY.
THOSE 7280% OF THESE CONTAINERS
ARE RETURNED AND SUCCESSFULLY
RECYCLED INTO MOSTLY NEW
CONTAINERS NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED
AND FIFTY THOUSAND TONS OF
SINGLE USE BEVERAGE CONTAINERS
ARE STILL DISPOSED OF ANNUALLY
THIS IS A WEIGHTY PROBLEM THAT
ISN'T GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON.
THERE ARE CALIFORNIA BEVERAGE
COMPANIES THAT ARE DOING THEIR
PART BY USING REFILLABLE
BOTTLES. THESE BOTTLES ARE THE
MOST SUSTAINABLE CHOICE FOR
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS AND THERE
IS A GROWING INTEREST IN USING
MORE GLASS REFILLABLE BOTTLES.
THEY KEEP OUR AIR CLEAN OUR
BEACHES PARKS AND ROADSIDES
LITTER LITTER FREE PROMOTE A
CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND
INCENTIVIZE A RENEWAL OF
RETURNABLE GLASS SOMETHING THAT
WAS COMMON FORTY YEARS AGO.
LAST YEAR I VISITED ORGANS
REFILLABLE BOTTLES SYSTEM DROP
WHERE IF THE LEVELS ARE STARTED
WATCHED STERILIZED INSPECTED
AND DELIVERED BACK TO CRAFT
BEVERAGE PRODUCERS. CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES THAT HAVE STARTED
USING GLASS REFILLABLE BOTTLES
ARE TAKING THEM OUT OF STATE TO
HAVE THEM WASHED STERILIZED AND
INSPECTED. AB NINE SIX TWO WILL
LOSE WILL LAY THE FOUNDATION
FOR MORE SUSTAINABLE AND
ECONOMICALLY VIABLE BUSINESS
MODEL BY CREATING AN EVEN
PLAYING FIELD FOR THE USE OF
REFILLABLE BEVERAGE BOTTLES BY
BEVERAGE MANUFACTURERS. IT'S A
STATUTORY FIX WHAT'S
SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS. WITH ME IN SUPPORT
TODAY IS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF

THE ORIGINAL BEVERAGE CONTAINER.
AS RECENTLY AS TWENTY FIVE
YEARS AGO MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED
BILLION REFILLABLE GLASS
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS WERE
REGULARLY DISTRIBUTED IN RETURN
FOR REFILLING CALIFORNIA. WE
KNOW THE REFILL GLASS BOTTLES
WHEN REGULARLY RETURNS WASHED
AND REBUILD HAVE A LOWER COST
FOR BOTH THE ENVIRONMENT AND
FOR BEVERAGE DISTRIBUTORS.
EIGHTY NINE SIX TO UPDATE
STATUTES TO ALLOW REFILLABLE
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS WHICH THE
CONSUMER IS ALREADY PAID THE R.
B. TWO B. PER TURN FOR REFUND
OF THAT C. R. D. WASHED
REFILLED AND RE DISTRIBUTED. IN
STATE. THEY'RE ALREADY GLASS
BEVERAGE CONTAINERS CAPABLE OF
RETURN WASH AND REFILL BEING
SOLD IN CALIFORNIA. THIS
MEASURE IS NEEDED TO ALLOW
THOSE CONTAINERS TO BE RETURNED

PRESIDENT BIDEN MADE A BOLD

OUR NATION'S EMISSIONS AND HALF
IN LESS THAN TEN YEARS. IN
ORDER TO REACH CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY. TWENTY FORTY
FIVE. THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR IF
WE DON'T REACH CARBON

WHO ARE STILL ALIVE. WILL
SUFFER MASSIVELY. AND MANY MANY

CALIFORNIANS ARE SUFFERING FROM
THE RAPIDLY UNFOLDING EFFECTS
OF THE CLIMATE CRISIS. EVERY

WILDFIRES. LIVES LOST. BILLIONS

EXTREME HEAT. WHAT WE NEEDED
TO. AS THE LEGISLATURE AS
LAWMAKERS FOR THE WORLD'S FIFTH
LARGEST ECONOMY. TO AVERT THIS
CATASTROPHIC FATE. THIS BILL
PROPOSES FOR MAIN ACTIONS.
FIRST THIS BILL WILL CODIFY OUR
STATE'S COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVE
CARBON NEUTRALITY BY OR BEFORE
TWENTY FORTY FIVE. WITH A NET
NEGATIVE EMISSIONS THEREAFTER.
A COMMITMENT MADE THROUGH THE
LEADERSHIP OF GOVERNOR JERRY
BROWN. IT IS TWENTY EIGHTEEN
EXECUTIVE ORDER. SECOND THIS
BILL WILL REQUIRE THE AIR
RESOURCES BOARD TO CREATE A
ROADMAP TO CARBON NEUTRALITY.
WITH AT LEAST 90% OF REQUIRED
EMISSION REDUCTIONS. TO BE
ACHIEVED THROUGH DIRECT
EMISSION REDUCTIONS. TO INSURE
THAT WE NOT ONLY MAKE NECESSARY
REDUCTIONS. BUT THAT WE ALSO
pIMPACTS ESPECIALLY IN LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
THIRD THIS BILL RECOGNIZES THE
CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF
INNOVATIVE CARBON CAPTURE AND
STORAGE SOLUTIONS. AND WILL
REQUIRE THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD
TO ESTABLISH REGULATIONS FOR
THEIR USE. FINALLY THIS BILL
WILL PRIORITIZE THE IMPORTANT
USE OF NATURAL AND WORKING
LANDS. TO CAPTURE CARBON IN OUR
FORESTS SOILS AND OCEANS. I
WOULD LIKE TO ACCEPT ALL
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. I WAS
GOING TO TURN OVER TO MY JOIN

EVENTS FROM HEAT EXTREME HEAT
THE FLOODS THE FIRE AND DROUGHT
IPCC SCIENTIST THEY TO AVOID
SOME OF THE WORST AND MOST
DEVASTATING IMPACTS OF CLIMATE
CHANGE WE HAVE TO ACCELERATE
OUR EFFORTS IN REACH CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY MID CENTURY IF
NOT SOONER. AB THIRTEEN NINETY
FIVE WOULD PUT IT ON A PATH TO
HELP ACHIEVE SUCH A GOAL BY
ACCELERATING EFFORTS TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS DIRECTLY IN BY
ELEVATING OTHER CRITICAL
CLIMATE STRATEGIES LIKE NATURE
BASED CLIMATE POLLUTION AND
CARBON APPROVALS FOR
TECHNOLOGIES SCIENTIFIC
ANALYSIS CONDUCTED BY THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY AND OTHER
COLLEAGUES SUGGEST THAT WITHOUT
INTERVENTION OUR NATURAL
WORKING LANDS ARE AT RISK OF
BECOMING AN INCREASING THAT
SOURCE EMISSIONS INSTEAD OF
INCREASING THAT SINK TO THE
FIRE IN MY AND CONVERSION AMONG
OTHER MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. THE
GOOD NEWS THEN WITH IMMEDIATE
ACTION AND INTERVENTION WE CAN
CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY REDUCING
EMISSIONS ENHANCING CARBON
SEQUESTRATION THROUGH A VARIETY
OF MANAGEMENT RESTORATION AND
CONSERVATION ACTIVITIES ARE
NATURAL LOOKING LAND CAN MAKE A
SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO OUR
TEAM OF CARBON NEUTRALITY
HOWEVER FOR THESE RESOURCES
COMPLAINING POLL WELL TO

MODERATOR WE ARE AT. ASKED FIVE
MINUTES- I WANNA REMIND ANYONE
ON THAT THEY CAN IF THEY'RE
STILL ON THE LINE AS THEY CAN
I'M SUBMIT ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY
OF ANY LANE VIA OUR COMMITTEE
WEBSITE BUT I WANT TO THANK
EVERYONE. THAT WAS PRESENT AND
CALLED IN OF TO SUPPORT OR
OPPOSE. SEE DO WE HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MISTER SEA ARE TO.
THANK YOU SO. AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR EFFORTS TO- YOU KNOW HELP
OUR ENVIRONMENT AND CREATE
CLEAN AIR BECAUSE WE ALL NEED
THAT- BUT YES I REALLY HAVE
SOME ISSUES WITH THIS AND THE
BIG ONE IS BEEN BROUGHT UP A
LOT AND THAT'S THE TEN PERCENT.
OF A C. C. S. N. AND
EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATING FOR
CALIFORNIA WHICH WE JUST SAID
WE WANT TO LEAD THE WORLD. IN
AND IT YOU KNOW CREATING AND
THAT THE CLEAN ENVIRONMENT AND
ENERGY POLL ARE THEY
ENVIRONMENTAL PUSH- TO GET TO
ZERO EMISSIONS- IF. IN AN EARLY
RETIREMENT WIND ENERGY AND
LOSING OUR- LOSING TO THE EAST
COAST. LOSING THAT TECHNOLOGY
OVER THERE- IF WE'RE GOING TO
LEAD IT'S NOT JUST GOING TO BE
IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE
THE REST OF THE WORLD. NEEDS
THIS TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE THEY'RE
NOT GOING TO DO WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO TRY TO DO IN TWENTY
FORTY FIVE. AND SO. IF THEY'RE
DEPENDING ON US TO DEVELOP THE
TECHNOLOGY BUT WORSHIPING THAT
WE'RE DISINCENTIVE ICING THE
TECHNOLOGY. HOW ARE E GOING
TO. HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET THE
REST OF THE WORLD ON BOARD WITH
THE TYPES OF TECHNOLOGY THEY
NEED. TO TRY TO REDUCE THE
EMISSIONS BECAUSE WE CAN DO AS
MUCH WE CAN ALL GET TO ZERO
RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA BUT IF
THE REST OF THE WORLD IS NOT
DOING IT EITHER. ARE NOT NOT
ABLE TO DO IT- WORKS WE KNOW
WHAT IT IS WE ALL BREATHE THE
SAME AIR. SO WHAT WHAT IS THE
WHAT IS YOUR ANSWER TO THOSE
CONCERNS THAT YOU HEARD OUT
THERE BECAUSE THIS CREATES
JOBS. AND YOU KNOW THE
MANUFACTURING LORD KNOWS WE
NEED IT HERE. YOU KNOW WE TALK
ABOUT RAISING PEOPLE OUT OF
POVERTY THEY NEED JOBS TO DO
THAT. SO THAT'S THAT'S MY
CONCERN IS THAT 10% THANK YOU
MISTER SURCHARGE SO I.
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU AND I
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE
EVERYONE- THAT SPOKE OF- BOTH
FOR AND AGAINST- THIS BILL- AND-
NO EMPHASIZING THE IMPORTANCE
OF. THE INNOVATION IN THE
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE
SPACE- THIS BILL. BUT DOES NOT.
CREATE ANY CAPS FOR CARBON
CAPTURE AND STORAGE. THE
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL HAS
CEATED THIS FALSE NARRATIVE OF.
YOU KNOW OUR ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE
GUIDANCE AND FRAMEWORK TO THE
AIR RESOURCES BOARD TO PLACE
YOU KNOW THE OVERWHELMING
EMPHASIS ON THE NEED FOR GROSS
EMISSION REDUCTIONS YOU KNOW
TO FOCUS ON THIS FALSE
NARRATIVE QUITE FRANKLY THAT
THIS BILL IS TRYING TO. CAP
CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE IN
FACT. YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL FOR
THE INNOVATION I MEAN IF- IF
CALIFORNIA CAN DEVELOP THE BIG
CARBON VACUUM THAT CAN SUCK UP
ALL THE CARBON IN OUR
ATMOSPHERE THEN MORE POWER TO
THEM THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS
BILL THAT LIMITS THE CARBON
CAPTURE STORAGE CONTRIBUTION TO
THE- GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONS
THROUGH CARBON CAPTURE AND IN
FACT TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY
CLEAR- WE HAVE ACCEPTED ONE OF
THE AMENDMENTS EVERY ACCEPTED
FROM THE COMMITTEE THE
COMMITTEES- THANK THE CHAIRS
SIX. RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT WAS
TO TAKE OUT THAT 10% LANGUAGE
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S CLEARLY-
BEEN MISTER INTERPRETED AND
USED. TO CREATE THIS FALSE
NARRATIVE THEY WERE TRYING TO
CAPTURE THE CARBON CAPTURE SO
WE ARE TAKING OUT THAT 10% CAP-
THAT THAT 10% LANGUAGE. BUT
THAT THE MAIN POINT IS THIS
THAT IN ORDER TO REACH CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY FIVE
WE NEED TO. DRAMATICALLY REDUCE
EMISSIONS THAT IS WHAT- A
RECENT AARP STUDY ON ON HOW TO
ACHIEVE CARBON NEUTRALITY BUT
TWENTY FORTY FIVE. AS THEY THEY
EXPLORED THREE DIFFERENT
SCENARIOS BETWEEN YOU KNOW 90%
OVER 90% REDUCTIONS 2280%
REDUCTIONS BUT IN ANY CASE. YOU
KNOW EVERY. CREDIBLE FEASIBLE
STUDY THAT IS FOCUSED ON HOW WE
GET TO CARBON NEUTRALITY BY
TWENTY FORTY FIVE WHETHER THE
COMMISSION THAT THE STUDY
RECENTLY COMMISSIONED BY THE A
RP OR WHETHER STUDIES
COMMISSIONED AND EUROPE. HAVE
ALL FOCUSED ON. MODELS WHERE WE
CAN ONLY ACHIEVE THAT GOAL IF
WE FOCUS ON THE NEED FOR GROSS
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS THE MAIN
POINT OF THIS IS THAT WE CANNOT
ALLOW CARBON CAPTURE AND
STORAGE. AS AN EXCUSE. IN ORDER
TO KEEP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS WE
NEED TO MAKE THOSE. THAT THAT
DRAMATIC TRANSITION THAT IS THE
ONLY WAY- QUITE FRANKLY THAT WE
CAN SAVE OUR PLANET. OKAY WELL
THAT'S DRAMATIC- AND- BUT I
GUESS I HAVE TO SAY IT YOU CAN
REMOVE THE 10% LANGUAGE BUT IF
YOU LEAVE THE 90% LANGUAGE ALL
THAT LEAVES IS 10% AND THAT
REMOVES THE INCENTIVE FOR
TECHNOLOGY TO DO THEIR THING.
TO ENABLE THAT YOU KNOW THAT
CAR THAT CCS. TECHNOLOGY TO
ADVANCE AND ACTUALLY MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE AT ALL AND IF WE'RE
NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
INCENTIVIZE THOSE BY HAVING.
YOU KNOW HAVING A MARKET OUT
THERE WHERE IT'S NEEDED. OR
WHERE IT'S EFFECTIVE DAN IT'S
NOT GOING TO EXIST. SO YOU KNOW
YOU KNOW I JUST DIFFER A LITTLE
BIT ON IT THE GRAVITY OKAY- BUT
BUT ON THIS I A DIFFERENT
ITEMS. I DEFEND MY DIFFERENCE
OF OPINION IS BASED ON.
IMPORTANT TAKE AWAY THE
INCENTIVE YOU TAKE AWAY TO THE
JOB OKAY OKAY SO I'M THAT.
THANK YOU OF IT I MAY BE
MISTAKE. AGAIN I YOU KNOW WE'RE
NOT AND- AND THIS AGREEMENT AND
THAT. YOU KNOW PART OF THAT
FALSE NARRATIVE IS THAT THIS IS
GOING TO- YOU KNOW WAS SOMEHOW
IF WE ACHIEVE CARBON NEUTRALITY
BY OR BEFORE TWENTY FORTY FIVE.
THEN MISSION ACCOMPLISHED THAT
IS NOT WHAT THIS BILL CALLS FOR
IT CALLS FOR NET NEGATIVE
EMISSIONS THEREAFTER AND SO YOU
KNOW THERE THERE ISN'T AGAIN
THERE IS NO LIMIT ON. HOW MUCH
CARBON REMOVAL HOW MUCH CORE
CARBON CAPTURE. AND STORAGE
THAT THAT WE'RE GONNA NEED IN
ORDER TO SAVE OUR PLANET-
BECAUSE- WHERE WHERE NOT WE'RE
WE'RE WE'RE NOT LIMITING IT TO.
TEN NET ZERO EMISSIONS WEEK
WHERE WE ARE SEEKING OVER THE
LONG TERM NET NEGATIVE
EMISSIONS. MORE POWER TO THE
CARBON CAPTURE STORES TO GO
BEYOND NET ZERO EMISSIONS TO
ACHIEVE NET NEGATIVE EMISSIONS.
MISTER WHAT. YEAH JUST A VERY
QUICK QUESTION AND YOU KEEP
TALKING ABOUT CARBON CAPTURE
AND SO I SPENT BE SURE THE
CARBON OFFSET PROJECTS LIKE FOR
EXAMPLE MY DISTRICT THE YUROK
HAVE BEEN PURCHASING BACK
ANCESTRAL LAND THOSE ARE NOT
BEING CHANGED IN ANYWAY BY THIS
CORRECT THAT IS CORRECT THIS
THIS BILL DOES NOT BE THE
OFFSETS ARE UNDER THE STATE'S
CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM THIS
PURPOSE THIS BILL DOES NOT
AFFECT OUR OUR STATE CAPTURED
PROGRAM INCLUDING THE OFFICES
THAT ARE. INCLUDED IN THE CAP
AND TRADE PROGRAM THANK YOU.

CRISIS BEFORE THE PANDEMIC BUT
THE HOUSING CRISIS HAS GOTTEN

PROJECT IN THE QUEUE IN FUTURE
PROJECTS THAT ARE PROPOSED.
WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO
CONTRIBUTE RELIEF TO THE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS AT A
TIME CREATING A PATHWAY FOR

MAGNITUDE HOLLYWOOD EARTHQUAKE
FAULT. THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY HAS
OFFICIALLY MAPPED THE ACTIVE
HOLLYWOOD EARTHQUAKE FAULT

MASSIVE NEW STUDY FROM THE
UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
AS OF MAY TWENTY TWENTY SHOWS
THAT THE ACTIVE HOLLYWOOD
EARTHQUAKE FAULT RUNS DIRECTLY

FAILURE IT WOULD BE
UNCONSCIONABLE FOR THE STATE TO

THE SIZE OF THE SO CALLED
SENIOR PORTABLE UNITS BY ALMOST
50% THE PROVISION OF A TOKEN
AMOUNT OF AFFORDABLE UNITS IS
TRULY OUTRAGEOUS CONSIDERING
THAT THE AVERAGE MARKET RATE
AND THE PROJECT WOULD HAVE A
BALCONY AS LARGE AS THE SO
CALLED AFFORDABLE UNITS. AND OF
COURSE THIS COMMITTEE SHOULD
NOT SUPPORT A BILL WITH FURTHER
ENABLE DEVELOPER COMPLEXITY
