MR MAIENSCHEIN THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR -- AND
THANK YOU FOR THE COURTESY AS
WELL WHAT IS OUR GIVE A
PREFERENCE WHICH BILL I PRESENT
FIRST.
OKAY SO I'LL START WITH --
A. B. THREE THIRTY SEVEN ON
BEHALF OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER QUIRK
SILVA -- AS
A STATE WE PASS LAWS TO ENSURE
FOSTER YOUTH HAVE EDUCATION
RIGHTS IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN
EDUCATIONAL STABILITY AND
IMPROVE OUTCOMES.
FOSTER YOUTH HAVE THE RIGHT TO
REMAIN AT THE SAME SCHOOL EVEN
AFTER THEY ARE MOVED TO A NEW
FOSTER CARE PLACEMENT. TO HELP
FACILITATE THIS PROCESS CARE
GIVERS ARE ENTITLED TO
REIMBURSEMENT FOR PROVIDING
TRANSPORTATION TO A CHILD'S
SCHOOL OF ORIGIN.
HOWEVER TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE CARE
GIVER IS APPROVED THROUGH THE
RESOURCE FAMILY APPROVAL PROCESS.
WITHOUT IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO
TRANSPORTATION REIMBURSEMENT.
A FOSTER USE LIFE CAN BE FURTHER
DISRUPTED THIS IS WHY AB THREE
THIRTY SEVEN IS NEEDED WITH ME
TODAY IS KRISTIN POWER WITH THE
ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN'S RIGHTS
AND JORDAN SO SO WITH THE
CALIFORNIA YOUTH CONNECTION.
AND I WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
DRIVE UP.
GOOD AFTERNOON KRISTIN POWER
WITH THE ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN'S
RIGHTS WERE PRACTICAL SPONSOR
THIS.
MEASURE WITH THE CALIFORNIA
YOUTH CONNECTION AB THREE THREE
SEVEN ONE HANDS EDUCATIONAL
OUTCOMES ARE PROMOTE SCHOOL AND
PLACE INSTABILITY BY ENSURING
THAT CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE TO
QUALIFY. FOR EDUCATION
TRANSPORTATION REIMBURSEMENT
RECEIVE.
AND DURING THIS TIME OF THE
RESOURCE FAMILIES COMPLETING
RESOURCE FAMILY APPROVAL I WILL
PROVIDE FAMILIES WITH THE NOTICE
OF THEIR RIGHT TO RECEIVE
REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE COSTS
TRANSPORTING A YOUTH TO THEIR
SCHOOL OF ORIGIN.
WE BELIEVE CARE GIVERS SHOULD
HAVE ACCESS TO REIMBURSEMENT FOR
PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION TO
SCHOOL CHILD SCHOOL WHARTON TIME
MAY TAKE PLACE MEANT. TO PROMOTE
SCHOOL PLACEMENT STABILITY FOR
THE CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE. TO
ILLUSTRATE THE ISSUE. TO PREVENT
TO YOUNG PEOPLE FROM HAVING TO
CHANGE SCHOOLS ALLIANCE CLIENTS
JAKE ANNALISE'S AUNT WHO CARED
FOR THEM WHEN THEY WERE REMOVED
FROM THEIR PARENTS TO TWO
ALLEGED ABUSE.
DRIVE THEM FROM CANYON COUNTRY
IN NORTH LOS ANGELES COUNTY TO
LA YOU UST ABOUT FIFTY MILES ONE
WAY.
EACH DAY FOR SCHOOL FOR TWO
YEARS.
AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF AB
ALLIANCE ADVOCACY JAKE AND
MELISSA'S AUNT WAS REIMBURSED
FOR THE TRANSPORTATION SHE HAD
PROVIDED TO ALLOW J. CAMILLUS TO
STAY IN THEIR COMMUNITY.
CONTINUE TO CONTINUE THEIR
EDUCATION.
AB THREE THREE SEVEN WILL ALLOW
THAT FUNDING TO BEGIN FROM THE
TIME JAY CAMILLUS THAT WERE
PLACED IN WOULD HAVE PROVIDED
NOTICE EITHER IN THE
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
REIMBURSEMENT.
FEDERAL EA TANNA FUNDS COVER THE
MAJORITY OF COSTS FOR THIS

FOR TWENTY SIX I WILL BE
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS.
IN TWENTY ELEVEN THE LEGISLATURE
ENACTED A REQUIREMENT THAT I HSS
APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT A
STATEMENT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
THAT THEY NEED IN HOME
SUPPORTIVE SERVICES.
THIS FORM IS REQUIRED TO BE
CONSIDERED AS ONE INDICATOR THE
INDIVIDUALS NEED AND NOT THE
SOLE DETERMINING FACTOR
UNFORTUNATELY THIS REQUIREMENT
HAS ACTED AS A BARRIER TO
APPLICANTS.
DOCTORS CHARGE UP TO A HUNDRED
DOLLARS TO COMPLETE THE FORM AS
IT IS NOT A MEDICAL SERVICE AND
IS NOT COVERED BY MEDICARE.
AB FOR TWENTY SIX WOULD REMOVE
THE REQUIREMENT THAT APPLICANTS
SUBMIT THE FORM INDICATING THEIR
NEED FOR IN HOME SUPPORTIVE
SERVICES AND CLARIFY THAT A
REDUCTION IN AYE HSS HOURS CAN
ONLY OCCUR.

BURDEN TO THE COUNTY SO WHY
DIDN'T THEY SO YES INITIATE THE

WITH KEVIN AND HIS ORGANIZATION
IT THERE HAD BEEN --
REPORTS THAT THAT BECAUSE OF THE
REQUIREMENT OF A HUNDRED DOLLARS
THAT WAS OUTSIDE OF THE MEDIC
COW THAT IT RESULTED IN --
INABILITY OR AT LEAST A
DISRUPTION FOR PEOPLE TO GET THE
SERVICES THAT THEY NEEDED AND
WAS IT CERTAINLY UNCLEAR AT
LEAST FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN IN
OUR RESEARCH OF THIS BILL.
THAT THIS WAS PROVIDING SOME
SORT.
OF BENEFIT.
SO YOU'LL FEEL ORDER RELIEVE --
ANY BURDEN FOR THE OF CURRENT.

THAT'S ABOUT 30%.
OFF THEIR BENEFIT CHAT DAY OF

GUESTS ALL OF THE TANK.
SO DO A BILL WILL BRING A
WELFARE AND INSTITUTE
INSTITUTIONAL CLOTHING INTO A
LION.
WITH THE OTHER PORTION OF
CALIFORNIA LAW RELEVANT TO
TRUANCY AND HUMAN LIFE IN MY
LIFE DACIAN.
WITH ME TODAY TO SPEAK REPORT IS --
JESSE BOTTLE OF TO YOU WESTERN
CENTER OF LONG M. PROPERTY.
AND JENNER'S CONALL OWN OFFERED
CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND.
HI MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS A
COMMITTEE JESSICA BARTLETT WITH
THE WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY --
AS YOU HEARD THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
SAY -- THESE --
CURRENT PENALTIES AND THE LAWS
ARE DEEP AREAS WHERE FAMILIES
ARE IN ENCOURAGED AND IN FACT
REQUIRED T. TO IMMUNIZE THEIR
CHILDREN OR REQUIRE THAT THEIR
CHILDREN ATTEND SCHOOL.
IT IS SCIENCE SHOWS THAT
IMMUNIZATIONS ARE GOOD FOR KIDS
AND THEY'RE NOT ONLY GOOD FOR
KIDS THEY'RE GOOD FOR THE
COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT --
CLINICALLY DISEASES A STATE TO A
MINIMAL AND THAT PEOPLE'S HEALTH
AND WELL BEING --
IS PROTECTED.
WE SWEATERS AND ALONG POVERTY
SUPPORTS IMMUNIZATION UP BUT IF
YOU BELIEVE IN SCIENCE THEN YOU
ALSO BELIEVE --
THE REPORT AND THE NUMEROUS
RESEARCH RESEARCH HAS BEEN DONE
THAT PROVE THAT MAKING A FAMILY
POOR --
DOESN'T ACTUALLY HELP THEM TO
BECOME VACCINATED.
IF YOU BELIEVE IN SCIENCE YOU
KNOW THE REPORTS SAY THAT IF YOU
ATTEND COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL AND
YOU --
FINISH SCHOOL YOU'RE MORE LIKELY
TO EXIT POVERTY AND WE DO
BELIEVE THAT EDUCATION IS ONE OF
THE BEST PASS OUT OF POVERTY --
BUT THE SIZE ALSO SHOWS.
THAT MAKING FAMILIES POOR --
DOESN'T HELP THEIR CHILDREN.
AT THE SCHOOL IT DOESN'T HELP
THEM STAY IN SCHOOL IT DOESN'T
HELP THEM GRADUATE.
US SO WE ARE IMMENSELY PROUD TO
SUPPORT THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION AND AND TO SPONSOR
IT.
AND WE URGE ARRIVAL AND IN
SUPPORT OF CHILDREN AND OTHER
LOW INCOME FAMILIES THAT THEY
RESIDE.
AFTERNOON JANICE CAM WITH
CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND I'M HERE
IS A PROUD I'M A CO SPONSOR OF
AB.
TWO EIGHTY THREE CHILDREN'S
DEFENSE FUND A SUPPORTING THIS
LEGISLATION BECAUSE WE BELIEVE
IT'S VITALLY IMPORTANT TO REMOVE
THE COW WORKS PENALTY FOR NOT
VACCINATING.
LET'S BE CLEAR CHILDREN'S
DEFENSE FUND CALIFORNIA AND
CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND NATIONAL
HAS A NEARLY FIFTY YEAR RECORD.
OF SUPPORTING REQUIRED
IMMUNIZATION FOR ALL CHILDREN.
OUR ORGANIZATIONS POSITION IS
THAT THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE REASON
FOR NOT VACCINATING.
IS WHEN A CHILD'S MEDICAL
CONDITION CONTRA INDICATES THAT.
HOWEVER WE NEED EFFECTIVE
STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT FAMILIES
TO ENCOURAGE IMMUNIZATION.
STRATEGIES THAT WILL SUPPORT AND
EMPOWER FAMILIES TO ACCESS ALL
THE SERVICES AVAILABLE TO THEM.
IN MEDI CAL.
NOT POLICIES THAT ARE
INEFFECTIVE AND DRIVE FAMILIES
FURTHER INTO POVERTY.
WE SUPPORT POLICIES THE BUILD ON
FAMILY STRENGTH AND AVOID
CREATING BARRIERS STIGMA AND
FURTHER HARDSHIPS.
PENALTIES ARE AN ILL CONCEIVED
POLICY ATTEMPT TO FORCE FAMILIES
TO VACCINATE OR RISK THEIR CAO
WORKS BENEFITS.
AND WE DON'T HAVE TO WONDER
ANYMORE IF THESE WILL WORK
BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY DON'T.
RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT
FAMILIES LIVE IN POVERTY
FAMILIES LIVING IN POVERTY ARE
NOT SERVED BY.
BY A PENALTY CUTTING INTO THEIR
LIMITED RESOURCES.
SEVERAL STATES HAVE ATEMPTED
PENALTIES AS A STRATEGY AND A
STUDY REVIEWING A FDC PENALTIES
FOR NON COMPLIANCE.
IN MARYLAND FOUND THAT ECONOMIC
SANCTIONS DON'T AFFECT BANKS
VACCINATION RATES.
A SIMILAR STUDY FOUND ON WHICH
PROGRAMS FOUND THAT SUPPORTING
AND EDUCATING FAMILIES.
DID INCREASE IMMUNIZATION RATES.
PENALTIES BUILD AN ARCHAIC IDEAS
ABOUT RACE AND CLASS.
AN IDEA THAT PEOPLE LIVING IN
POVERTY NEW TWENTY FORCE TO TAKE
CARE OF THEIR CHILDREN.
PENALTIES NEGLECT WHAT WE KNOW
WORKS PROVIDING HEALTH EDUCATION.
HELP WITH TRANSPORTATION.
ELECTRONIC IMMUNIZATION RECORD
KEEPING.
EXPANDING CLINIC HOURS AND OTHER
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS TO REDUCE
BARRIERS AND BURDENS ON FAMILIES.
FOR THESE REASONS CHILDREN'S
DEFENSE FUND CALIFORNIA IS CO
SPONSORING AB.
TWO TWO EIGHTY THREE BECAUSE
REMOVING THE PENALTIES NOT
DRIVING FAMILIES INTO FURTHER
HARDSHIP.
IT'S A MUCH BETTER.
MORE EFFECTIVE APPROACH
IMMUNIZATION THE COW WORKS
PENALTIES HAVE EVER BEEN THANK
YOU.
THANK.
YOU FOR BEFORE THAT --
WE DO HAVE A QUORUM AND I'D LIKE
TO TAKE ROLE PLEASE.

ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE LET'S BRING IT TO
THE MEMBERS QUESTIONS FROM THE
MEMBERS STRIPS.
OF JUST WANT TO SAY TO THE
AUTHOR THE BILL'S THINGS A GOOD
BILLS I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR
TODAY -- I
THINK WE SHOULD NOT BE
PENALIZING --
PARENTS INCOME FAMILIES SPECIAL
THOSE WERE STRUGGLING THROUGH --
ECONOMICS --
BUT I THINK THIS IN THIS AND SO --
WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL
[inaudible]
THANK YOU [inaudible]
CHOI.
THANK YOU I ALSO WOULD LIKE --
TO ASK A QUESTION AND THEN I DO.
UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT --
BR AT THE ARE TRYING --
TO MAKE IT UP.
LHASA.
CUMBERSOME.
FOR OTHER FAMILIES SO WILL
RECEIVE A CAD WORK UP AND
BENEFITS --
BUT IT IS --
NOT DEBATE NOT TO DEBATE THE THE
FOXY NATION.
IN A REQUIREMENTS WHETHER THE
GOOD OR BAD.
MAY UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT THE
WIDE THIS WAS MAY. TO REQUIRE.
OXIDATION PROOFS OF BEFORE THE
BENEFIT CAN BE RECEIVED THAT
BECAUSE MAYBE BECAUSE SAID NOT
[inaudible]
YEAH.
PROBABLY MANY --
PEOPLE WERE AMONG THE CAL WORKS
TO RECIPIENTS SO --
CHILDREN DID NOT THE VACCINATION
SO USUALLY UP.
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS --
THE SCHOOL IS STILL REQUIRE
VACCINATION PROOF SO.
AT THE HEALTH AND ROMAN.
SO THIS IS SO YOUR UNNECESSARY
WORK WHEN THEY APPLY.
FOR FOOD STAMPS NO THE BENEFITS.
SO IT IS --
ELIMINATING ONE MORE GOVERNMENT
RATS IN A WET PAPER SO I'M OR
FOR THAT THE US.
BUT THE HOW IF AND WHEN.
IF THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN.
ARE AMONG.
OUR LOW INCOME FAMILY TEND TO BE --
HIGHER THAN.
MAYBE AT THE GROUP WAS CHILDREN
SO -- ARE
THERE ANY.
FROM MY UNDERSTANDING FREE
VACCINATION.
CENTERS SO WHAT.
THEY ARE GIVEN --
FREE VACCINATIONS. FOR OUR
CHILDREN FROM THE LOW INCOME
FAMILIES I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE
WE NEED TO FOCUS UPON AND HELP
THEM.
AND NOT TO AFFECT THAT THERE.
ARE A MONTHLY WHATEVER'S
HAPPENED THEY RECEIVED.
A RATHER THAN PENALIZE THING.
SO WHAT IS A NOTHING YOU KNOW TO
A MAN YOUR BILL AT THIS MOMENT
BUT THE SINCE YOU SEEM TO BE
INTERESTED IN THIS AREA.
MY YOU KNOW INTEREST WOULD BE.
FOR YOU TO FOR THE LOOK INTO.
AND THE PROVIDE MORE
OPPORTUNITIES.
UP FOR CHILDREN TO GET THE FREE
VACCINATIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH A YOU KNOW
FREE BUT THE NATION --
ALSO SOME OF THE FAMILIES HAVE
TRANSPORTATION ISSUE.

CONTINUE WORKING WITH FROM AND
PROVIDE THEM THE TRANSIT --
TRANSPORTATION AND ALSO
RECEIVING THE BUT THE NATION GO
GO A 100% CORRECT IS ALREADY IN
OUR THE EDUCATIONAL COLD TO
HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE.
ALL CHILDREN IN A ROLE IN THE

THE RED TAPE THAT'S IT AND THE
WAY TO MAKE SURE FAMILIES GET
THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED
ESPECIALLY FOR THE KIDS SO --
YOU'LL HAVE MY SUPPORT ON THIS
TODAY THANK YOU VERY SHARE.
I I ALSO WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS
I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
TAT WE WE ALL UNDERSTAND
ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT WILL
UNDERSTAND IMMUNIZATIONS ARE
IMPORTANT.
BUT THERE'S NO NEED TO OVER
BURDENED FAMILIES THAT ARE
ALREADY --
AT THE POVERTY LEVEL THAT ARE
REQUESTING BENEFITS AND TO PUT
SOMETHING ELSE ON ANOTHER
REQUIREMENT. FOR THEM I THINK
THAT THAT IMPOSING FINANCIAL
PENALTIES IS JUST NOT THE WAY TO
GO I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF

.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS.
THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION OF EIGHTY
THREE ONE ONE WHICH WOULD REPEAL
WELFARE AN INSTITUTION CODE.
FOUR SIX NINE OH POINT.
SIX CURRENT CODE THAT SAYS
DEFINITIONS OF FULL AND HALF A
REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES
CONTRACTED BY THE REGIONAL
CENTERS.
ALMOST A DECADE AGO DEFINITIONS
FOR BILLING WERE MAY MANDATED.
AS A COST SAVINGS MEASURE
FOLLOWING THE RECESSION WHEN
SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE
REGIONAL CENTERS WERE
DRASTICALLY CUT. FOR YEARS THE
CODE SECTION HAS BEEN CHALLENGED
IN COURT WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE HALF THE BILLING
REQUIREMENTS OCCURRING IN JUST.
THE LAST YEAR.
AS THE CHAIR OF THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON INTELLECTUAL AND
DEVELOPMENTAL DECEPTIVE
ABILITIES.
I HAVE HEARD FROM PROVIDERS THAT
HAVE.
THAT HAVING TO MANAGE THE HALF
AND FULL THE BILLING RECORDS
CREATES AN ADDITIONAL PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT BURDEN.
AND AS NICK NEGATIVELY IMPACTED
MULTIPLE SERVICES SERVICES
PROVIDERS WHO HAVE REPORTED
LOSSES AS RESULT OF IMPLEMENTING
THE HALF DAY BILLING.
RULE.
WITH ME TODAY ARE TWO EXPERTS
BERRY GIORGINI.
REPRESENTING CALIFORNIA
DISABILITY SERVICES.
ASSOCIATION AND WILL SANFORD
FROM FUTURES EXPLORED TO TESTIFY
IN SUPPORT AND ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE --
MY NAME IS VERY JOURNEY FROM THE
CALIFORNIA DISABILITY SERVICES
ASSOCIATION I WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FRAZIER FOR
CARRYING THIS IMPORTANT BILL.
AS HE MENTIONED IN HIS OPENING
REMARKS THERE THIS HAVE TO
BILLING PROGRAM AND THE RULES
AROUND HALF A BILLING ARE A
RELIC OF THE RECESSION ERA.
CUTS THAT WERE FACING THE STATE
DISABILITY SYSTEM.
YOU KNOW DID ARE WE CONTRIBUTED
MORE THAN OUR SHARE DURING THAT
DEBT DURING THAT TIME AND WE'RE
WE'RE NOW DECADE BEYOND THE
GREAT RECESSION AND YET WE'RE
STILL LIVING WITH SOME OF THESE
RECESSION ERA CUTS.
THE HAVE THE BILLING --
RULES IN PARTICULAR ARE
PROBLEMATIC FOR FOR A NUMBER OF
REASONS FOR ONE SET A
REQUIREMENT THAT YOU HAVE TO
ATTEND PROGRAM FOR MORE THAN 65%
OF THE DAY.
IN ORDER TO BILL FOR FULL DAY --
WAS 65% I MEAN EVEN IF IT WAS A
HALF DAY BILLING YOU KNOW 50%
WOULD BE MORE REASONABLE BUT
MORE BROADLY IT CREATES A LOT OF
CHALLENGES BOTH FOR PROVIDERS OF
SERVICES AND CONSUMERS
THEMSELVES. FOR PROVIDERS WE
DON'T HAVE ANY ADMINISTRATIVE
REQUIREMENTS THERE'S NOTHING IN
THE REGULATIONS WHICH REQUIRE US
TO TRACK --
FOR TIME FOR THE DAY SO
TYPICALLY WHAT'S IN STORE COULD
IN THE CASES OF SOMEONE'S IN
PROGRAM FOR THE DAY IT'S A ONE
AND IF THEY'RE NOT THERE.
TO ZERO SO BY IT RE IMPLEMENTING
THIS PROGRAM YOU KNOW JUST FOUR
DAYS BEFORE THE START OF THE
FISCAL YEAR --
LAST ARE FOR THIS FISCAL YEAR
YOU KNOW PROVIDERS HAD TO
SCRAMBLE TO PUT TOGETHER SOME
SORT OF ADMINISTRATIVE TRACKING
SYSTEM TO TRACK THESE THESE
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE HAVE TO
BILLING --
AS FAR AS CONSUMERS GO IT ALSO
MEANS YOU KNOW THIS IS A
FINANCIAL HIT TO PROVIDERS I
KNOW THAT THE STATE HAS YOU KNOW
PUT A PRICE TAG ON IT BUT I I
DON'T THINK ANYONE'S REALLY
CAPTURED THE THE TRUE REFLECTION
I THINK. ONE OF OUR PER AND
REVENUE I THINK MANY OF YOU KNOW
THAT THE DEVELOPMENTAL
DISABILITY SYSTEM IS ALREADY
CHRONICALLY UNDERFUNDED SO ANY
OF THESE CUTS BEING BROUGHT BACK
IS USUALLY PROBLEMATIC --
AND FROM A CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE
THAT'S A PROBLEM WE HAVE WE HAVE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE CLOSING WE
HAVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE HURTING --
AND WEIGHTLIFTING PEOPLE BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T HIRE STAFF EVERY
DOLLAR THEY'RE NOT PULLING IN
AND REVENUE IS ANOTHER DOLLAR
THEY'RE NOT PUTTING INTO
SERVICES.
FURTHERMORE SOME OF THOSE
CONSUMERS WHO HAVE COMPLICATED
ATTENDANCE RATES MAY END UP
FINDING THEMSELVES NOT BEING
SERVED BY A PROVIDER GOING
FORWARD BECAUSE THEY CAN'T MAKE
IT WORK I MEAN PROVIDER STILL
HAVE TO STAFF FOR THE FULL DAY
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT
SOMEBODY'S THERE FOR THREE HOURS
AND FIFTY SIX MINUTES.
OR THREE HOURS AND FIFTY EIGHT
MINUTES SO YOU KNOW FOR THESE
REASONS WILL --
ADMINISTRATIVELY AND FINANCIALLY
AND AND ON THE IMPACT CONSUMERS
MOST PRINCIPALLY --
WE SUPPORT THIS BILL AND WE HOPE
FOR YOUR SUPPORT AS WELL.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
WELL SEVERAL FEATURES EXPORTER
THANK YOU TO ASSEMBLYMEMBER
FRAZIER FOR RAISING THIS ISSUE
WHEN WE BROUGHT TO HIM WHEN IT
CAME OUT JUNE TWENTY SEVENTH
THAT WE HAD EMPLOYMENT ON JULY
FIRST.
THE IMPACT TO CONSUMERS REALLY
IS WE ARE IN AN AGE OF HIGH
EXPECTATIONS AND HIGH BELIEVES
THAT OUR FOLKS TO BE VALUABLE
AND CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS OF OUR
SOCIETY. TO DO THAT THEY NEED TO
BE ABLE TO BE TREATED IN THE
THIS BILL OR THIS THE WAY THIS
IS BEING IMPLEMENTED.
WE HAVE FOLKS WHO COULD GO AND
MEET OUR FOLKS AT BART RIDE WITH
BART COME BACK THEN GO HOME FROM
THAT VERSES COMING TO A LOCATION
A CENTER.
WHICH WOULD GIVE THEM A FULL
PROGRAM DAY.
THEY MADE US APART INDEPENDENTLY
THEY GO THEY DO THEIR ACTIVITIES
THEY DO WHAT THEY WANNA DO THEY
GO HOME.
THEY'RE ONLY THERE FOR HALF A
DAY.
SO OUR STAFF PURSUE SUPPORTING
TO OTHER PEOPLE THAT ENTIRE TIME.
WE'VE LOST THAT REVENUE FOR THAT
THAT THING IN OUR CASE IT'S
ABOUT TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A
MONTH WHICH IS ABOUT THE
EQUIVALENT THREE DIRECT SUPPORT
PROFESSIONALS.
I CAN'T ELIMINATE.
A STAFF PERSON TO DO THAT
BECAUSE THE OTHER TWO FOLKS
STILL NEED SUPPORT.
SO THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS YOU
KNOW BASICALLY WAY FOR THE STATE
TO SAVE MONEY I WAS THERE IN TWO
THOUSAND NINE AND TEN I WAS A
PART OF THE GROUP THAT WAS
TASKED WITH TRYING TO SAVE A
WHOLE LOT OF MONEY.
AND WAS ALWAYS SO WE CAN DO THIS
IN THAT SHORT TERM TEN YEARS
LATER.
HE GOT REIMPLEMENTED AND REALLY
DOES HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON
HOW FOLKS CAN REALLY BE AND
COMMUNITY AS WE GO FORWARD AND
MOVE FORWARD --
WE HAVE TWO BILLION DOLLARS
UNDER SYSTEM THAT'S DEPENDENT ON
US.
ENCOURAGE OUR FOLKS TO BE
INTEGRATED IN INDEPENDENT THE
COMMUNITY.
THIS WORKS IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE
WAY BECAUSE IT IS IN IN FROM
REINFORCES PEOPLE TO GO TO A
LOCATION TO BE THERE ALL DAY.
BECAUSE THEN I GET A FULL DAY
BILLING.
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO.
BUT THAT'S WHAT IS GONNA HAPPEN
THE COMMUNITY THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
HELLO CHRISTY THOUGHT A BRIDGE

ITEM NUMBER SIX ACR
[inaudible]
ONE MR BONTA.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR IN
COLLEAGUES IN STAFF THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT.
A C. R. ONE ACR ONE CONDEMNS THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S PROPOSED
CHANGES.
THAT TARGET ARE VULNERABLE
COMMUNITIES AND CAUSE HARDSHIP
TO UNTOLD.
NUMBERS OF IMMIGRANTS TRYING TO
REALIZE THEIR OWN AMERICAN DREAM.
THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS RUN
CONTRARY TO CALIFORNIA'S VALUES
AND BIPARTISAN EFFORTS THAT
RECOGNIZE THE VALUE OF
SUPPORTING AND INCLUDING
IMMIGRANT POPULATIONS IN OUR
STATE.
UNDER THE IMMIGRATION AND
NATIONALITY ACT AN INDIVIDUAL
SEEKING ADMISSION TO THE US OR
SEEKING TO OBTAIN LAWFUL
PERMANENT RESIDENTS MAY BE
DEEMED INADMISSIBLE.
OR DENIED PERMANENT RESIDENCE IF
THE INDIVIDUAL IS LIKELY AT ANY
TIME TO BECOME WHAT'S KNOWN AS A
PUBLIC CHARGE.
ON OCTOBER TENTH TWENTY EIGHTEEN
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY PROPOSED NEW
REGULATIONS REGARDING PUBLIC
CHARGE DETERMINATIONS THE
REGULATIONS WOULD EXPAND THE
LIST OF BENEFITS CONSIDERED WHEN
MAKING THAT DETERMINATION. TO GO
BEYOND CASH ASSISTANCE WHICH IT
HAD BEEN THINGS LIKE KENNETH AND
CAL WORKS. TO INCLUDE MEDICAID
MEDICARE PART D..
THE SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OR SNAP
SECTION EIGHT HOUSING VOUCHERS
AND OTHER FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED
HOUSING PROGRAMS.
THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS WOULD
ALSO CONSIDER THE AGE OF AN
INDIVIDUAL.
BEING UNDER EIGHTEEN FOR OVER
SIXTY ONE WOULD BE SEEN AS A
NEGATIVE.
I WOULD ALSO CONSIDER THE
ABSENCE OF CURRENT EMPLOYMENT OR
LACK OF PROSPECT OF EMPLOYMENT
THE USE OF PUBLIC BENEFITS
ENGLISH PROFICIENCY.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AND INCOME
LEVEL SO LITERALLY IF YOU'RE
YOUNG OR IF YOU'RE OLD IF YOU'RE.
SICK OR IF YOU'RE POOR ALL WOULD
COUNT AGAINST YOU.
THIS LATEST MOVE IS AN ATTACK IN
MY VIEW ON CALIFORNIA'S HEALTH
AND WELL BEING THESE PROPOSED
CHANGES TARGET LOW INCOME
WORKING IMMIGRANTS AND
DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECT PEOPLE
OF COLOR.
AND LOW WAGE LABORERS HEALTH
CARE ACCESS HOUSING AND
NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
HELP ALL PEOPLE.
AND THEIR FAMILIES STAY HEALTHY
WORK THRIVE.
AND CONTRIBUTE TO SOCIETY AND
THESE CHANGES HAVE REAL IMPACTS
WE'VE SEEN THEM ALREADY.
THE FEAR OF BEING DEEMED A
PUBLIC CHARGING DENIED LAWFUL
PERMANENT RESIDENTS OR ENTRY TO
THE US OR POTENTIALLY BEING
SUBJECT TO DEPORTATION. FOR
SEEKING ESSENTIAL BENEFITS
CREATES ADDITIONAL FEAR AMONG
OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES AND IT
ALSO CREATES A CHILLING EFFECT.
THAT WILL UNDERMINE ACCESS TO
THESE CRITICAL THING OF NOTE IS.
OVER 70% OF THE LIVES TOUCHED BY
THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS OUR
CHILDREN.
INVESTING IN NUTRITION HEALTH
CARE AND OTHER ESSENTIAL NEEDS.
KEEP CHILDREN LEARNING PARENTS
WORKING AND FAMILY STRONG.
SO YOU SEE ARE ONE CONDEMNS THE
PROPOSED CHANGES AND URGES THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RECONSIDER.
AND ROLL BACK THESE CHANGES
WHICH WILL LIKELY HARM THE
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC WELL BEING
OF THE STATE AND THE NATION. FOR
GENERATIONS TO COME.
IN CALIFORNIA WE HAVE THE
LARGEST IMMIGRATION POPULATION
AS A STATE IN THE NATION BOTH
DOCUMENTED AND UNDOCUMENTED.
AND AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE THE
FIFTH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE
WORLD.
CALIFORNIA IS STRONGER WHEN
RESIDENTS IN NEED ARE ABLE TO
ACCESS THAT SAFETY NET WITHOUT
FEAR FOR THEMSELVES THEIR FAMILY.
OR THEIR FUTURE I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AYE VOTE ON ACR.
ONE AND WITH ME HERE TODAY IS
DEPEND GAG ASIA REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA IMMIGRANT POLICY
CENTER.
A CO SPONSOR OF THIS RESOLUTION
AND JUSTIN RAZA REPRESENTING
ASIAN HEALTH SERVICES ALSO A CO
SPONSOR OF THE RESOLUTION.
GET FIRST WITNESS.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRED
MEMBERS MY NAME IS STEPHEN BACK
MOESHA I REPRESENT A CALIFORNIA
IMMIGRANT POLICY CENTER WE ARE
PROUD TO CO SPONSOR ACR ONE AND
GUIDE CALIFORNIA'S EFFORTS TO
AND THE EXPANSION OF THE PUBLIC
CHARGE RULE --
BY LEAVING THE PROTECTING
IMMIGRANT FAMILIES CAMPAIGN FOR
THE STATE.
THE PUBLIC CHARGE RULES ENOUGH
OF A CAN HAS LONG STOCK FEEL
FEAR.
AND AMONG IMMIGRANTS UNDER
FEDERAL LAW A PERSON SEEKING
ADMISSION TO THE UNITED STATES
FOR TRYING TO ADJUSTER STATUS IS
AN ELIGIBLE IF THE INDIVIDUAL IS
DEEMED A PUBLIC CHARGE --
OR PRIMARILY DEPENDENT ON THE
GOVERNMENT FOR SUBSISTENCE.
THE PROPOSED CHANGE BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MARKS A
DANGEROUS AND SIGNIFICANT
EXPANSION FROM THE CURRENT RULED.
HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF
INDIVIDUALS MAY BE UNABLE TO
ADJUST THEIR STATUS AND
COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF IMMIGRANTS
WILL DESCEND ROLE FROM SAFETY
NET PROGRAMS THAT KEEP THEIR
FAMILY'S HOUSE FAT AND HEALTHY.
EVEN THOUGH THE RULE CHANGE HAS
YET TO TAKE A FACT I'M AS WAS
MENTIONED FRONTLINE WORKERS ARE
REPORTING MASS DESCEND ROLE MAN
FROM PROGRAMS LIKE SNAP MEDICAID
MEDICARE --
BUT EVEN THOSE THAT ARE AFFECTED
BY THE PROPOSED RULE LIKE WAKE
PHAM WHICH KEEPS PREGNANT WOMEN
AND CHILDREN WATCH --
ENABLES PREGNANT WOMEN CHILDREN
TO GET THE CRITICAL NUTRITION
ASSISTANCE THAT THEY NEED --
THESE ARE FAMILIES THAT MAKE UP
STRONG MEMBERS OF OUR STATE.
THEY CONTRIBUTE FIFTY SIX
BILLION DOLLARS TO THAT --
FEDERAL ECONOMY WITH THEIR TAXES
AND TWENTY SIX BILLION IN STATE
AND LOCAL TAXES.
HURTING IMMIGRANTS HURTS ALL OF
US.
AS A RESULT OF CA PC ASIAN
HEALTH SERVICES --
AND OTHER ADVOCATES COMMITMENT
CALIFORNIA ALONG WITH THE REST
OF THE COUNTRY I'M SUBMITTED
OVER TWO HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE
THOUSAND COMMENTS --
IN RESPONSE TO THE POST RULE I'M
IN OPPOSITION TO IT.
CALIFORNIA'S RESIDENTS I'M IN
IMMIGRANTS ARE LOOKING TO THE
STATE'S LEADERS FOR PROTECTION
AN ACTION IN THIS CRITICAL
MOMENT AND AS SUCH WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR SUPPORT OF
ACR.
ONE THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND
HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF A C. R. ONE IS CO

HERE FOR ASIAN HEALTH SERVICES
WERE FORTY SIX YEAR OLD.
COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER
HEADQUARTERED IN OAKLAND AND
PROVIDE INTEGRATED PROGRAMS AND
SERVICES --
TO TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND
PATIENTS IN FOURTEEN DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES.
SO PUBLIC CHARGE LAST READ IT'S
UGLY HEAD IN THE NINETIES AND WE
WERE SURPRISE THEN THE API'S
WERE ACTUALLY THE HARDEST TO BE
HIT BY IT.
AT ASIANHEALTH SERVICES WE HAD
A YOUNG MOTHER WHO LIVED IN
OAKLAND.
AFTER WELFARE REFORM SHE WAS
STOPPED AT THE SAN FRANCISCO
AIRPORT ON HER WAY TO CHINA
WHERE I AN S. HAD DISCOVERED
THAT SHE DELIVERED HER TWINS
WHILE ON MEDI CAL.
AND DEMANDED FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN REPAYMENT ON THE SPOT.
THAT'S MONEY THAT OBVIOUSLY SHE
DIDN'T HAVE AND THEY IMMEDIATELY
DEPORTED HER ON A PLANE TO CHINA
WITHOUT HER BABIES --
MY COLLEAGUES TRIED AND TRIED IN
VAIN TO FIGHT THE CASE
INDIVIDUALLY IN COURT BUT WERE
UNSUCCESSFUL.
THE TWINS WERE RAISED IN OAKLAND
BY THEIR GRANDMOTHER FOR TWENTY
YEARS. TO US THIS IS PERSONAL
THIS MOTHER WAS OUR PATIENT.
WE PROMISE OUR PATIENTS SIGN UP
FOR MEDI CAL YOU'LL BE SAFE.
AND NOW AGAIN WE FIGHT YET
ANOTHER ANTI IMMIGRANT RULE FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
PUBLIC CHARGES IN COHERENT WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY STATED GOAL.
AND IT THREATENS HEALTH GAINS
WE'VE MADE AT MULTIPLE LEVELS
