I'VE TERRIBLY SORRY FOR THOSE
IRAQ'S PERSON PLEASE PROCEED
THANK AB SIXTY FIVE. IT WILL
PREVENT THE USE OF MONEY
INTENDED TO IMPROVE CALIFORNIA'S
ROADWAYS FROM BEING DIVERTED.
FOR HIGH SPEED RAIL SIMPLY.
PUT A RAILROAD IS NOT A HIGHWAY.
YET CURRENT LAW TAKES MONEY FROM
THE STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT.
SPECIFICALLY THE STATE
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM.
WHICH.
HELPS TO MITIGATE THAT
CONGESTION.
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS.
AND OF THE STATE HIGHWAY
OPERATIONS AND PROTECTION
PROGRAM.
I FIND THAT LAST ACCOUNT.
TITLE.
INTERESTING THE STATE HIGHWAY
OPERATIONS AND PROTECTION
PROGRAM.
AND YET IS NOT BEING
PARTICULARLY PROTECTED IT SEEMS
TO MAKE.
THIS IS MONEY PAID HIM BY
TAXPAYERS.
TO BE USED FOR IMPROVING LOCAL
ROADS AND STREETS.
MAINTAINING OUR EXISTING
HIGHWAYS
AND ADDING NEW HIGHWAY CAPACITY
TO EASE.
CONGESTION.
IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL RELIEVE.
A DAY TO DAY COMMUTE.
OF LITERALLY MILLIONS OF HARD
WORKING CALIFORNIA FAMILIES.
CALIFORNIA HAS RECENTLY
INCREASED
GAS TAXES AND CAR REGISTRATION
FEES.
ON WORKING.
FAMILIES IN CALIFORNIA IT IS.
A.
TAX THAT IS
RELATIVELY.
UNPOPULAR IF THE.
.
IF THE POLLS ARE ANY INDICATORS.
THE CLAIM WAS MADE.
THERE IS NO MONEY.
FOR HIGHWAYS.
STREETS AND ROADS.
WHILE CONTINUING TO RAID THE
STATE HIGHWAY ACCOUNT.
FOR HIGH SPEED RAIL.
AB SIXTY FIVE IS SIMPLE.
IT WILL STOP TRANSFERRING MONEY
INTENDED AND COLLECTED FOR ROADS
FROM BEING DIVERT TO PAY OFF THE
HIGH SPEED RAIL BOND DEBT.
MEMBERS THIS IS AN
UNPRECEDENTED.
TO PAY A GENERAL OBLIGATION
BOND.
WITH THE PROCEEDS FROM SPECIFIC
FEES.
AND TAXES.
SO IT'S SIMPLE IT WILL STOP THIS
TRANSFER.
OF INTENDED AND COLLECTED MONEY
FOR ROADS.
BEING DIVERTED.
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
HAS ESTIMATED THAT THE PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THAT
BONTA.
WILL COST TAXPAYERS OVER THE
THIRTY YEAR LIFE OF THE BOND
REPAYMENT.
NINETEEN POINT FIVE BILLION.
DOLLARS
IT'S A LOT OF HIGHWAY.
IMPROVEMENT.
AB SIXTY FIVE WILL MAKE SURE.
WE DO NOT PAY THIS MONEY BACK BY
RAIDING THESE ACCOUNTS.
PAID FOR BY FEES COLLECTED.
AND INTENDED SPECIFICALLY.
TO FIX OUR HIGHWAYS STREETS AND
ROADS.
I HAVE HERE TODAY WITH ME DAVID
WOLFF REPRESENTING THE HOWARD
JARVIS TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION.
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.
THANK YOU.
SEAT.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS GOOD
AFTERNOON AS THE SOMEONE IN SAID
DAVID WOLF WITH THE HOWARD
JARVIS TAXPAYERS ASSOCIATION IN
SUPPORT OF AB SIXTY FIVE.
MEMBERS WE BEND DIVERTING TRUCK
WE FEES TO PAY OFF GENERAL FUND
BLIND AT FOR OVER TEN YEARS NOW.
WHY THAT CAN BE DEBATED WHETHER
OR NOT THERE WAS A GOOD OR A BAD
CHOICE THERE SHOULD BE NO DEBATE
REGARDING THE ABILITY TO AND?
THE USE OF TRUCK WHICH HE'S TO
BE DIVERTED INTO THE GENERAL
FUND EVERY YEAR IF THERE'S NO
TRANSPORTATION BONDS TO PAY OFF.
OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS THAT'S A
CUMULATIVE AMOUNT OF ONE POINT
FOUR BILLION DOLLARS THERE'S
BEEN DIVERTED INTO THE GENERAL
FUND EXISTING TRUCK WE FEES
DIVERTED AWAY FROM WORD OF IT
MAINTENANCE REPAIR AND
CONSTRUCTION.
MEMBERS OF BOGGLES THE MIND THAT
AFTER FORCING TAXPAYERS TO SHELL
OUT ANOTHER FOUR HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DOLLARS A YEAR AND HIGHER
GAS PRICES THROUGH RESCUE ONE.
AND THE FACT IS A SAID THE TRUCK
WEEK HE'S ALWAYS BEEN DEDICATED
TO SOME. SORT OF ROAD
INFRASTRUCTURE PROCESS THAT THEY
CAN NOW BE DROPPED INTO THE
ABYSS THAT IS THE GENERAL FUND
OR EVEN SPENT ON HIGH SPEED
RAIL.
YES MEMBERS THAT HIGH SPEED RAIL
TRAIN THAT GOES NOW FROM
CHOWCHILLA TO WASCO THAT STILL
HAS NO FEDERAL OR PRIVATE
INVESTMENT IS HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OVER BUDGET.
AND IS NOT A LEGITIMATE HIGH
SPEED RAIL SYSTEM BECAUSE IT'S A
PLAN TO TRY CLIMB.
IF WE ARE TO USE MORE BONDING
CAPACITY WE SHOULD USE THAT ON A
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT A
MAJORITY OF TAXPAYERS WILL YOU
TOSS.
WE HAVE A RECORD HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FIVE BILLION DOLLAR
GENERAL FUND BUDGET SPENDING
THAT IS INCREASED BY THIRTY SIX
BILLION DOLLARS OVER THE LAST
SIX YEARS AND NOT ONE DIME OF
NEW FUNDING HAS GONE. TO
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS SURELY
MEMBERS WE CAN AT LEAST
PRIORITIZE.
ROAD MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
PROJECTS AWAY FROM HIGH SPEED
RAIL IT'S WORRIED THOSE PROJECTS
USING EXISTING TRUCK WAIT FEES
THAT'S ALL THIS BILL DOES THE
BILLION DOLLARS THAT COULD BE
USED. MUCH MORE EFFECTIVELY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE.
IF ANY OTHER WITTICISMS WERE
MISSED BUT IS IT.
HE NEED MEMBERS THE PUBLIC.
WHO LIKE TO?
IT'S FINE SUPPORT THE AUTHORS
BILL.
SEEING NONE ANY OF THE PUBLIC
THAT LIKE TO TESTIFY. IN
OPPOSITION TO THE AUTHORS BILL.
PLEASE STEP UP STATUE AND WHO
YOU REPRESENT PLEASE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
MEMBERS LIKELY JEREMY SMITH YABE
HAVE WITH THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL.
CALIFORNIA WE ARE.
IN STRONG OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL.
AYE I'D LIKE TO JUST.
FOR THE RECORD POINT OUT A FEW.
PERTINENT FACTS FIRST OF ALL.
.
ACCORDING TO HIGH SPEED RAIL.
THERE'S OVER TWO HUNDRED THIRTY
MICRO AND SMALL BUSINESSES DOING
WORK ON THIS PROJECT. OVER
FIFTEEN HUNDRED CONSTRUCTION
WORKERS ALREADY TURNING DIRT IN
MAKING THE NECESSARY CHANGES.
TO ACCOMMODATE HIGH SPEED RAIL
WHEN IT.
WHEN IT COMES TO FRUITION.
OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY ALONE.
THIS PROJECT IS A ALREADY SEEN
A HUNDRED NINETEEN MILES OF
CONSTRUCTION.
THIS PROJECT IS WORKING.
AND FRANKLY. I WOULD ALSO ADD
THAT
SPENDING ON HIGH SPEED RAIL. OR
LOCAL RAIL OR OTHER ALTERNATIVE
MODES OF TRANSPORTATION THEN.
AUTOMOBILE.
HELPS
THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE STATE
THAT TAKES CARS AND TRUCKS OFF
THE ROADS PEOPLE CAN GET ON A
TRAIN.
GET AND PUBLIC TRANSIT AND GET
TO THEIR JOB.
GET TO THEIR APPOINTMENTS
WITHOUT DRIVING AND THAT ALSO
ALLEVIATES WITHOUT SPENDING
MONEY DIRECTLY ON ROADS.
THE PRESSURE ON THE STATE
INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED TODAY.
SO.
WE BELIEVE THE HYPE YOU WERE
REAL PROJECT IS.
IS
BEGINNING TO SHOW FRUIT. OF MANY
MANY WORKERS ARE ALREADY EARNING
WAGES IN MIDDLE CLASS
LIVELIHOODS ON THIS PROJECT.
TO PASS THIS BILL WHICH IN
EFFECT WOULD.
CRIPPLED HIGH FEEL PROJECT.
.
THE WE THINK IS A SHORT SIGHTED
AND SHOULD NOT BE PASSED TODAY.
I JUST FINALLY OUT THAT WE HAVE
HAD FEDERAL MONEY ON THIS
PROJECT TARGETED SPENT THE MONEY
WE GOT UNDER THE PREVIOUS
ADMINISTRATION.
THE PROJECTS WORKING WE ARE YOU
KNOW ABOUT A THANK YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS PLEASE
TAKE A POSITION WHERE YOU
REPRESENTING NEW YORK PLEASE.
WHAT MICHAEL YOUNG WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION I'D

REASONS PROPOSED.
Q..
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE STATE YOUR

WE BELIEVE THIS CERTAINLY MEETS
CRITERIA FOR TRANSPORTATION

NEEDS TO BE FUNDED THANK.
SWISS.
THE CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE SHANE GUSMAN ON BEHALF
FOR THE TEAMSTERS AND THE
CALIFORNIA COMPETENT MACHINIST
AND OPPOSITION.
MISTER CHAIRMAN KEEP DOWN HERE
FOR THE CESSATION CAL FOR HIGH
SPEED TRAINS I'LL JUST ADD TO
THE COMMENTS MY COLLEAGUES IN
JUST. REMIND REMIND WITH THE
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS
AS MISTER SMITH POINTED OUT.
ALLEVIATING THE ROADS BY
BUILDING THE TRAIN DOESN'T FACT
HELP THOSE THAT REMAIN ON THE
ROADS IT'S IT'S
SYSTEM DOESN'T STOP AT A COUNTY
DOESN'T STOP THE CITY LINES THIS
IS PART OF THAT. INTEGRATED
SYSTEM HIGH SPEED RAIL IS
WORKING AS YOU MENTIONED.
INTO CORRECT MISTER WOLFE WHO'S
USUALLY QUITE ON POINT THAT WE
DO HAVE THAT FEDERAL INVESTMENT
THAT'S ALREADY BEEN SPENT OVER
THREE BILLION DOLLARS SO THANK
YOU. ASKED FOR NO VOTE.
SWISS POLICE HERE NAMELY
REPRESENT THE SHARE NORMAL
THOMAS THE CALIFORNIA ONES FOR
JOBS IN OPPOSITION.
Q. ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF PUBLIC
THAT HAVE.
A POSITION ON THE BILL.
SEEING NONE.
QUESTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE OF
THE AUTHOR.
SEEING NONE.
WE GOT CLOSE WAS PATTERSON
CHECK.
HOW TO POINT OUT A COUPLE OF
THINGS?
IN NO WAY.
IN NO WAY WHAT I'M PROPOSING
HERE.
WHAT CRIPPLE?
HIGH SPEED RAIL.
WHAT I AM?
POINTING OUT HERE IS.
THE UNPRECEDENTED NATURE.
OF USING.
SPECIFIC.
FEES.
MONEY PAID HIM FOR THE PURPOSE.
OF ROAD STREET HIGHWAY REPAIR.
IN TO THE STATE'S
HIGHWAY ACCOUNT WHICH IS
SPECIFICALLY THEIR.
FOR THE PURPOSES OF HIGHWAY
STREET ROAD REPAIR.
AND IF YOU'LL NOTICE I
SPECIFICALLY PULLED OUT OF.
THOSE FUNDS.
THE STATE TRANSPORTATION
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WHICH IS
THERE. MITIGATION OF CONGESTION
AND.
MAKING SURE THAT THERE WERE
CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR
ROADS STREETS AND HIGHWAYS THE
LOCAL STREETS AND ROADS FUN.
AND THE STATE HIGHWAY
OPERATIONS.
PROTECTION PROGRAM.
IT IS THE GENERAL FUNDS PURPOSE.
TO PAY FOR GENERAL FUND BOND
OBLIGATIONS.
WE HAVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
BEFORE.
AND SO I WOULD SUGGEST WHETHER
YOU ARE.
IN FAVOR OF HIGH SPEED RAIL.
WHETHER YOU OPPOSE IT OR WHETHER
YOU ARE AMBIVALENT ABOUT IT.
THIS IS NOT THE AN EFFORT AND
NOT OF MY LANGUAGE IN ANY WAY.
ATTACKED THE HIGH SPEED RAIL.
IT IS POINTING OUT THE USE OF
MONEY THAT THE. TAXPAYERS OF THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
PAID EM TO THESE ACCOUNTS FOR
THE EXPRESS PURPOSE.
OF REPAIRING STREETS ROADS AND
HIGHWAYS.
AND.
IT WE ARE.
BEYOND.
I THINK
OF THE QUESTION.
OUT OF THE OF HIGH SPEED RAIL
ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
THIS BILL IS CENTRALLY FOCUSED.
ON MAKING SURE THAT WE DO NOT
BAIT AND SWITCH.
THAT WE DO NOT WISH TO HAVE A
HIGH SPEED RAIL.
SO HARD AND SO MUCH
THAT WE WILL BEND AND BREAK
EVERY PRINCIPLE. OF DECENT GOOD
OPEN TRANSPARENT FINANCING TO DO
SO.
THE RAILROAD IS NOT A HIGHWAY.
AND.
A YEAH GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND.
IS JUST THAT.
THE PROSPECTS OF EIGHT REVENUE
BASE BOND FOR EXAMPLE.
REPAIRS WOULD BE EUROPE WOULD
REVENUE IT AYE WILK UP CLOSE.
WOULD NOT BE AN APPROPRIATE.
BECAUSE.
ANALYSIS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE
REVENUE STREAMS COULD NOT.
SUPPORTED.
SO I SAY TO THOSE OF YOU WHO
REALLY LIKED HIGH SPEED RAIL AND
WANT TO SEE IT MOVE FORWARD. PAY
FOR IT HONESTLY STRAIGHT FORWARD
AND OPENLY. WITH THE GENERAL
FUND FOR A GENERAL FUND
OBLIGATION.
WHICH IS A DAY OUT OF.
A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND IT'S
WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR.
A LONG LONG TIME THERE IS NO
REASON FOR US TO CHANGE NOW.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
FAMOUS PERSON.
THIS PERSON WILL NOT BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL TODAY.
THE ISSUE OF HOW TRANSPORTATION
BOND DEBT SERVICES OF HOUSE PAID
WAS DEBATED OVER TWO YEARS.
AS PART OF SB ONE AND THAT ISSUE
WAS SETTLED.
FOR THE INK IS EVEN DRY AND S.
B. ONE.

RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BASED ON A.
CURRENTLY PROPOSED DMB
REGULATIONS WHICH BEEN WORKED ON
FOR THE PAST.
TWO AND HALF YEARS
ON THESE REGULATIONS ARE ARE
WIDELY AGREED UPON WHERE WE HAVE
A SOME TENSIONS WHETHER NOT THEY
SHOULD BE CODIFIED INTO LAW.
THIS CONCERN CAME ABOUT OF OVER
A YEAR AGO BUT WE HAD.
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES BEING
TESTED IN SAN FRANCISCO WITHOUT
THE PROPER AUTHORITIES.
WITH THOSE CARS BEING TESTED
WHAT WE REALIZED IS LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT DID NOT HAVE ANY
JURISDICTION.
UPHOLD THESE CARS OFF THE ROAD.
THEY CAN ONLY DO SO IF THERE WAS
ANY MOVING A FRACTION OR
VIOLATION.
AND WHAT WE WANT TO ENSURE IS
THAT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
CONTINUES TO KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN OUR CITIES ON OUR
STREETS AND THE CONDUCT OF
ACCORDINGLY. AND THAT'S WHAT
THIS REGULATION DOT THAT
BASICALLY.
FORCES THE MANUFACTURERS TO LET
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT KNOW WHEN
THESE VEHICLES MAY BE TESTED
WHERE THE COULD BE TESTED WHAT
DATES AND ALSO HOW THE PLAN IN A
DIALOGUE WITH LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT WE WANT TO AVOID.
WHAT HAPPENED WITH ONE
PARTICULAR SITUATION?
FORTUNATELY WAS QUICKLY AVERTED
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
CAN.
LAW ENFORCEMENT LOCALLY HAS
CONTROL OF OUR STREET.

THOUSAND TWELVE THE LEGISLATURE
AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED DMV TO
IMPLEMENT AB RULEMAKING. AND TO
SELF DRIVING VEHICLE THAT RULE
MAKING PROCESS AFTER MULTIPLE
STAKEHOLDER COMMENTS.
SHOULD CONCLUDE THIS MONTH WITH
FINAL ADOPTION THE REGULATIONS
AS NOTED THE ANALYSIS WE TOO ARE
UNCLEAR WAS BILLS NECESSARY
THOSE IT REGULATIONS INCLUDE THE
EXACT LANGUAGE HERE IN THE BILL
YOU'RE LOOKING AT TODAY.
MOST IMPORTANT PART TECHNO
MEMBERS COURTING IN OFFICE HERE
AGAIN CODIFY EXISTING
REGULATIONS AND STATUTES CAN
REDUCE THE STATE'S ABILITY TO BE
RESPONSIVE TO SOCIETAL
TECHNOLOGY CHANGES. POTENTIALLY
SLOWING INNOVATION CYCLING THE
STATE'S ECONOMY FOR THOSE

LANGUAGE IN IN CODE.
WE FEEL THAT IF IT REGULATORY
APPROACH IS THE PROPER APPROACH
WE CERTAINLY HAVE NO OBJECTIONS
TO OPERATING A SAFE MANNER
WORKING WITH MUNICIPALITIES
WHERE WE EXPAND TESTING. BUT I'M
PUTTING THIS IN STATUTE LACS
INDIAN AND DOESN'T GIVE DEIAN

S. WINS JOHNSON AND ON BEHALF OF
CTA ALSO IN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU.
THE OTHER MEMBERS THE PUBLIC
WOULD LIKE TO TESTIFY IN
OPPOSITION TO THE AUTHORS BILL.
SEEING YOU NINE ANY QUESTIONS OF
THE.
COMMITTEE.
WITH.
THREATEN I JUST WANTED TO ASK
THE AUTHOR TO RESPOND TO THE
ARGUMENTS.
THEY DO.
BUT TO DOING TO CLOSE UP SHOP.
ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE ELECTED MISTER BERMAN.
.
MR DENG.
AS A COMMITTEE ANNOUNCES NOTES
THE PROCESS FOR DIEM VIA THOMAS
VEHICLE REGULATIONS HAS BEEN.
VERY ARDUOUS.
AND MORE SIGNIFICANTLY IT'S NOT
YET COMPLETE AND YOUR BILL.
PROPOSES TO CODIFY ESSENTIALLY
A SNAPSHOT IN TIME THAT
TODAY.
THE REGULATIONS DEALING WITH
PUBLIC SAFETY AND WHILE I
DEFINITELY AGREE THAT THE SAFETY
OF THE PUBLIC IS PARAMOUNT
THERE'S STILL A CHANCE THAT THE
REGULATIONS MIGHT CHANGE.
BUT MOVING FORWARD AND SO.
WHAT'S YOUR LONG TERM PLAN FOR
THE BILL.
AND CODIFICATION OF THE
REGULATIONS GIVEN THAT THERE'S
STILL A POSSIBILITY THAT THAT
THINGS MUCH.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
MISTER BERMAN.
WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY ADAPTING
KATINA WANNA WORK WITH DMB AND
ADAPT THE LEGISLATION TO MIRROR
OR TO HOT MATCH WHAT THEY'RE
THINKING WE DO APPRECIATE THAT
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS BUT AS I
STARTED.
THIS PROCESS BEGAN TO HAVE
YEARS AGO WE REACHED OUT TO DIEM
BE.
TODAY TO CONFIRM WHEN THE
REGULATIONS MAY ACTUALLY BE DONE
AND IT'S NOT ACTUALLY VERY
CLEAR.
WHEN THEY COULD BE DONE SO WE
GET A PROCESS THAT COULD BE DONE
TOMORROW OR COULD BE DONE IN A
COUPLE YEARS. WHAT I DO BELIEVE
IS THAT WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY
TO WORK WITH THE BUREAUCRACY BUT
THE SAME TIME WE ALSO HAVE
RESPONSIBILITY TO WORK FASTER
THAN THE BUREAUCRACY?
SO. CLEARLY PUBLIC CITIZEN THAT
WE HAVE TO HEAR FROM EACH OF OUR
CONSTITUENTS.
AYE IMPORTS WE HAD THE
MISFORTUNE OF HAVING THIS ISSUE
COME INTO MY DISTRICT MUCH
SOONER THAN THAT ALL OF YOU. BUT
I CAN TELL YOU IT'S IT'S NOT A
VERY POSSIBLE CONVERSATION WHEN
YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE
CONCERNED. THAT THEY CAN'T GET
VEHICLES OFF THE STREET THAT ARE
DEEMED TO BE UNSAFE. ON INTEL
THE CREATED ACCIDENT TELL
ACTUALLY RUN OVER SOMEBODY TELL
THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A MOVING
VIOLATION. SO WE DON'T REALLY
WANT TO HAVE ANY COMMUNITIES
SPECIFICALLY IN THAT.
CIRCUMSTANCE SO WE ARE WE ARE
VERY RESPECTFUL OF THE
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS WE WOULD
LIKE TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE. ATTACK COMMUNITY IN TRYING
TO IRON R. THESE ISSUES OUT BUT
AGAIN. THE ONLY ISSUE IS WHETHER
OR NOT THIS SHOULD BE CODIFIED A
LOT THERE'S NO OPPOSITION TO THE
POLICY.
SO AGAIN WE THINK THIS IS A VERY
GOOD OUR FIRST STEP.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THESE
PROVISIONS AROUND LAW
ENFORCEMENT NEED TO BE.
TO BE CODIFIED SO JUST TO ANSWER
WAS FRIEDMAN QUESTIONS IS WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THAT TECH COMMUNE YOU SEE
IF WE CAN FIND. I FIND A BRIDGE
BUT AGAIN WE THINK THAT PUBLIC
SAFETY SHOULD BE CUT SHOULD BE
PARAMOUNT. AND THAT IT IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMPANIES
THAT ARE PUTTING THIS TECHNOLOGY
ONTO OUR STREETS TO WORK WITH
LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. TO ENSURE
THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT KNOWS HOW
TO REACT KNOWS WHAT TO DO ARM
AGAIN THIS IS THIS IS AROUND
DRIVERLESS CARS SO THESE ARE
CARS WITHOUT. PEOPLE INSIDE SO
THEIR DEATH WE NEED TO BE
INTERFACE WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT
SO THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO
SHUT
S. CARS DOWN. IF FOR SOME REASON
SOMETHING HAPPENS
SO AGAIN WE THINK IT'S HIS ARM.
A VERY MILD.
FIRST STEP.
BUT WE DO THINK IT IS AN
IMPORTANT FIRST STEP TO ENSURE
THAT WE CAN MAINTAIN SAFETY OF
OUR CITY STREETS.
AND I'LL JUST ACCEPTED AT MY
CLOSET THAT'S OKAY.
NEARLY MEMBERS WOULD COMMIT
QUESTIONS OF THE OFF.
SO YOU HAVE YOU HAD TO CLOSE.
OUR SIZE TO OPEN HER ROOM
MOTION.
OKAY MISTER TEAM HOW THIS
MORNING YOUR BILL TODAY.
AND I'M GENERALLY NOT SUPPORT OF
CODIFYING PROPOSED REGULATIONS
HOWEVER.
THE TESTING OF BABIES WITHOUT
THE PRESENCE OF A DRIVERS
CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUES YOU
MENTIONED.
AND THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO WEIGH IN ON.
I HOPE THAT SOON THAT THE
LEGISLATURE CAN STEP BACK AND
CONSIDER THE DEPLOYMENT
AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES IN A MORE
COMPREHENSIVE MANNER.
HOW THE WE GOTTA BE MOVING
FORWARD?
I WOULD HOPE.
AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOU WORKING
WITH THE OPPOSITION.
TO COME TO A SOLUTION.
HARD TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE BIG
WAY IN AND ALL OF THEIR CONCERNS
ARE ADAPTED.
A.
WHO HAS BLESSED THEY CAN BE?

EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY SINGLE DAY
BY ALL THOSE WHO ARE BLESSED TO
HAVE KNOWN HIM.
I HOPE THAT THIS BILL WILL PASS
AND PREVENT THIS UNSPEAKABLE
TRAGEDY.
FROM HAPPENING TO ANOTHER
FAMILY.
ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER NINETEENTH
TWO THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN.
AS I WAS DRIVING YOU THIN TO
PICK UP THE GIRL HE HAD JUST
MET.
I THINK YOU.
FOR THEIR FIRST DATE.
HE DID NOT GET OUT THE DRIVER'S
LICENSE.
A LARGE CHUNK OF METAL.
CAME THROUGH OUR WINDSHIELD AND
MY SON.
HE CAME AT SUCH A VELOCITY.
THE HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICERS
ESTIMATE HE CAME AROUND A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES AN HOUR.
THAT I DID NOT HAVE TIME TO
REACT OR AVOID THE OBJECT.
IT TORE A HOLE IN OUR
WINDSHIELDS.
THEN SLICED THROUGH MY EIGHT.
SEVERANCE CAROTID ARTERY.
AND REMEMBER EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT
SIDE OF SPACE.
IT THEN CONTINUED WITH SUCH
FORCE THAT IT BROKE HIS SEAT.
BECAUSE CONSUMER CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE TO THE STEEL OF THE REAR
PASSENGER DOOR.
AND THEN FINALLY CAME TO A STOP
IN THE REAR PASSENGER.
SIDE OF THE CAR WITH IS CHP
OFFICER SPOUTED.
THIS CHART. WAITING AN ESTIMATED
FOUR TO SEVEN POUNDS.
WAS LAUNCHED AT US FROM WHERE WE
KNOW NOT.
BUT THIS CHP BELIEF THAT IT WAS
LIKELY DEBRIS WHICH IT FOLLOWED
UP WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. IN THAT
HAVING BEEN LEFT IN THE ROAD WAS
ELEVATED BY YET ANOTHER VEHICLE
AND HURLED AT OUR VEHICLE AND MY
CHILD.
MY SON ETHAN WAS INCREDIBLY
STRONG I FULLY BELIEVE THAT ANY
OTHER INDIVIDUAL IN HIS
CONDITION.
WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST IN THE CAR
THAT DAY BUT MY TEETH AND NOT
NON.
WELL I DROVE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL
APPLYING PRESSURE TO IS WOULDN'T
THE DAMAGE TO HIS CRIER DID
ARTERY BECAUSE TO STROKE TO THE
RIGHT HEMISPHERE IS BREAKING.
HIS JAW WAS SHATTERED AND HIS
FACE WAS TORN OFF FROM THE NOSE
TO URUGUAY. ALL THE WAY DOWN TO
HIS NECK.
HE WASN'T SURGERY FOR OUR SIMPLY
TRYING TO STOP THE BLEEDING IN
REPAIRS FACE.
THE JOHN IS OTHER INJURIES WOULD
OF WAITED UNTIL MUCH FARTHER
ALONG IN ITS RECOVERY.
WITHIN TWO AND A HALF HOURS OF
THE FIRST SURGERY.
HE WAS RUSHED BACK FOR ANOTHER
THREE AND A HALF HOURS OF
SURGERY.
TO HAVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS
SKULL REMOVED SO THAT THE
SWELLING IN HIS BRAIN.
COULD FIND SOME RELIEF.
HE LOST PART OF HIS RIGHT
FRONTAL LOBE AND THAT SURGERY

SWELLING.
THE BEST DRAMA TEAM NEUROSURGERY

EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWER TO
TRY TO SAVE MY SON.

LOCATION GOING IN THE OPPOSITE
DIRECTION.
NORTHBOUND A PIECE OF WOOD
SIMILAR TO A PIECE OF THE TWO BY

FLUID THEIR VEHICLE WINDSHIELD
AND ALMOST INJURED WHAT WAS LEFT
OF MY FAMILY.
THIS HAS TO STOP.
GABY NINE SEVENTY ONCE SEEKS TO
REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF ANOTHER
TRAGEDY LIKE THIS HAPPENING TO
SOMEONE ELSE.
HAVING HERSCHER PENALTIES IN
PLACE FOR IRRESPONSIBLE
TRANSPORT OF LOOSE ITEMS ON OUR
HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS WILL ACT
AS A DETERRENT.
REQUIRING REPORTS WHEN ITEMS ARE
DROPPED WILL PROVIDE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PREVENT TRAGEDY
BEFORE IT HAPPENS.
ENABLING LAW ENFORCEMENT TO
EXACT PENALTIES ENACT STE WITH
SWIFTER. IN THAT EVENT DEBRIS IS
LOST INNER FOUND ON ROADWAYS.
WILL ALLOW A PROACTIVE STANCE
AND REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
DEBRIS ENDING UP KILLING ANOTHER
INNOCENT MOTORISTS FOR
PASSENGER.
HOPEFULLY OTHERS WILL THINK
TWICE BEFORE CARRYING AND
SECURED CARGO THAT MAY HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO KILL SOMEONE.
ELSE'S CHILD GRANDCHILD.
PARENT SIBLING OR FRIEND.
MY SON ETHAN HAWKE SAYS GOD.
AND NOTHING CAN BRING IT BACK TO
ME.
