MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE FRED MADE ON BEHALF OF
THE ASSOCIATION FAR ACCESSIBLE
MEDICINES WHO REPRESENT THAT
GENERICS --
IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN HOW WE HAVE
OPPOSITION OF OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED BUT AT THIS LATE DUH
POINT IN THE PROCESS IT'S
OPPOSED.
ON TWO POINTS AND THEY'RE BOTH
RELATED TO THAT.
FISCAL REALITIES OF THE BILL
MEASURE IS ESTABLISHING A BROAD
NEW STATEWIDE.
A PROGRAM FOR TAKE BACKS AND
WE'RE THE ODD PARTICIPANT --
OUT IN THE PROCESS THERE'S NO
DEFINED PROCESS IN THE MEASURE
AS TO HOW.
THE ALLOCATION OF THE COST WILL
BE AND ALLOCATED AND IN OTHER
STATES AND AT THE LOCAL LEVEL --
IT'S BEEN ALLOCATED BY VOLUME --
THE GENERICS PROVIDE A 90% OF
THE VOLUME RATHER THAN REVENUE
WHERE WE ONLY CREATE.
A RECEIVE 27% OF THE REVENUE AND
YET WE SAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT
OF MONEY.
FOR OUR CONSUMERS AND I
HEALTHCARE COSTS AND WE THINK
THAT -- THE
BILL NEEDS TO BROADEN OUR WHO IS
IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN SUBJECT.
TO THE FEE --
REIMBURSEMENTS AND THEN ALSO BE
CLEAR AS TO THE ALLOCATION
PROCESS FOR HOW THE FEES TO
SUPPORT THE PROGRAM --
WILL BE ADMINISTERED ARE FOR
THOSE REASONS WERE OPPOSED TO
THE BILL.
THANK YEAR ARE THERE ANY OTHERS
IN OPPOSITION.
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE NO FILE.
SEE NO QUESTIONS WOULD YOU LIKE
A I'M SORRY DIFFICULT DOESN'T
QUESTION --
SO PERHAPS YOU COULD ADDRESS
WHAT THE LAST SPEAKER JUST DATA
SAID.
WELL YES FIRST OF ALL THERE'S NO
FEE LISTED IN THE BILL AND WE'RE
LEAVING IT TO THE INDUSTRY --
TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEY WANT TO
GO ABOUT PAYING FOR THIS.
AS GOOD AS A WAY TO GIVE THEM
THEY WANT THAT CREATIVE
OPPORTUNITY.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE IN
THE BILL WE BASICALLY SAID.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AND
FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT AND THAT
--
HAS MET WITH APPROVAL OF ALL OF
THEM I WOULD INDICATE TO THAT
THE COST IS AND I KNOW WE HAD
THIS DISCUSSION I HOPE SOMEBODY
GOT YOU THE ANSWER.
IS UP LESS THAN HALF A CENT FOR
EVERY TEN DOLLARS.
HE'S AT THE HALF A CENT FOR
EVERY TEN DOLLARS OF LIST PRICE
OF THE DRUG [inaudible]
IT'S MAINLY.
WE'LL TAKE THAT IS YOUR CLOTHES.
I'VE JUST RESPECT OF THIS THIS A
BILL WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON FOR A
NUMBER YEARS.
UP WE DO THIS OR WE'RE GOING TO
FIND HUNDREDS OF LOCAL
COMMUNITIES DOING THEIR OWN TAKE
BACKS WHICH IS GOING TO CREATE
ABSOLUTE HAVOC.
THIS IS A SYSTEM WHERE IT COUNTS
RECYCLES GONNA TAKE
RESPONSIBILITY IT'S GOING TO BE
PAID FOR BY THE INDUSTRY
EVERYONE'S IN AGREEMENT WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF A GROUP THAT'S
CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING TO
COST THEM.
THEY'LL BE AT THE TABLE TO FIGHT
FOR IT I WOULD ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ALRIGHT THAT GETS OUT ON A ROLL
CALL WITH MR PEROT NOT VOTING
MISTER OBERNOLTE VOTING NOW.
THANK YOU MISTER ACCENT YOU WILL
PROCEED WITH. FOR SIXTY FIVE AS
BEFORE SIXTY FIVE THIS ENJOYS A
DO PASS RECOMMENDATION.
UP MOVE DEVELOPMENT MOTION BY.
DOCTOR QUIRK A SECOND BY MISS
CARILLO.
SO TRY TO BE BRIEF ON THIS.
WERE TRYING TO DO WITH OUR
WILDFIRES IN CALIFORNIA MANY OF
US HAVE HAD SIGNIFICANT ADVANCE
IN OUR DISTRICT I HAD THE TOMS
FIRE.
IN MINE WE LOST TWENTY THREE
PEOPLE OF THE FIRES IN NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA FIRES CONTINUE TO
BURN WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO TO TRY
TO PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES.
AND WHILE WE TALK ABOUT THINGS
LIKE THINNING THE FOREST AND
CONTROLLED BURNS SAN.
DEFENSIBLE SPACE ONE OF THE
OTHER ITEMS THAT WE'VE BEEN
HEARING ABOUT QUITE A BIT IS
HARDENING OF NOT ONLY THE
INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR UTILITY
COMPANIES BUT HARDENING THE
INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR HOMES.
AND THAT WE KNOW IS AN IMPORTANT
ELEMENT RIGHT NOW WE REALLY
DON'T HAVE ANY RECOURSE TO DOING
THAT EVEN THOUGH WE KNOW THINGS
LIKE GETTING RID OF THATCHED
ROOF SO.
I END DOUBLE PAINTING WINDOWS
ARE JUST SIMPLE THINGS THAT WE
CAN DO TO PROTECT OUR HOMES
BETTER FROM THE SITUATIONS AS
THESE HOT AND A WITH THE
EXTRAORDINARY FIRES CHOI
UNITIES.
THE PACE PROGRAM ACTUALLY HAS
SOME MONEY NOW I UNDERSTAND.
A APPARENTLY THERE IS A LOT OF
CONSTERNATION ABOUT THAT PROGRAM
AND AYE I DON'T QUARREL WITH
THAT THIS BILL IS ACTUALLY.
A ATTACHED TO A ASSEMBLY MEMBER
--
AYE WE ARE CARREY'S REFORM BILL.
UP BUT TO THE EXTENT THAT
THERE'S MONEY AVAILABLE THROUGH
THE PACE PROGRAM WE ARE GOING TO
ADD THIS OF HARDENING HOMES TO
THE ELEMENTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE
OR I SHOULD SAY TO THE MONEY
THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE THROUGH
THE PACE PROGRAM. FOR THIS
HARDENING PROCESS WE'VE TAKEN
AMENDMENTS THAT LIMIT --
HOW WE CAN BE USED WHERE CAN BE
USED THIS IS KEY TO OUR
PARTICULARLY ARE UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES THAT CANNOT
OTHERWISE AFFORD TO DO SOME OF
THIS HARDENING WE DON'T WANT
THEM TO LOSE THEIR HOMES NOBODY?
CAN AFFORD TO LOSE THEIR HOMES
THIS IS ONE ELEMENT IN THIS
BATTLE AGAINST THE CHANGING
CLIMATE THE WILDFIRES THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN THE STATE.

AFTERNOON PAUL MASON PACIFIC
FOREST TRUST --
WHEN OUR BIG CHALLENGES IS THAT
WE HAVE LIKE A MILLION HOMES OUT
