ASSEMBLY BILL FIFTY SIX BY
SOMETHING MEMBER EDUARDO GARCIA
AND OTHERS AND EXPLAIN TO
ELECTRICITY.
MR GARCIA YOU MAIL MISTER
SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES GOOD
MORNING.
RICE TODAY TO PRESENT DAY BE.
FIFTY SIX THE BILL THAT WOULD
ADDRESS THE FACT THAT NO ONE I
THINK DISAGREES WITH.
THE NATURE OF ENERGY PROCUREMENT
IN CALIFORNIA AND HOW IT'S
FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING.
I'D LIKE TO START OFF BY.
TALKING A BIT ABOUT THE BILL AS
IT RELATES TO WHAT THE BILL DOES
NOT DO.
GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE
PRESENTED THEMSELVES -- VIA THE
OPPOSITION -- SHARING WITH MANY
OF YOU.
THE BILL DOES NOT CHANGE ANY OF
THE P. UC'S EXISTING AUTHORITY
TO MANDY PROCUREMENT.
THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS THE P.
YOU SEE WILL STILL BE ABLE TO
MANDATE PROCUREMENT OF VARIOUS
ENERGY RESOURCES.
THROUGH THE INVESTOR OWNED
UTILITIES.
THAT'S GOT TO BE MADE VERY VERY
CLEAR.
THE BILL WILL DO NOTHING. TO
INTERFERE AT ALL WITH THE
PROCUREMENT.
CHOICES OF INDIVIDUAL LOAD
SERVING ENTITIES.
ALL THE L. S. EASE WILL STILL BE
ABLE TO DO PROCUREMENT.
AS THEY CURRENTLY DO AND IF THEY
MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE
LAW THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL PROCUREMENT TO BE
MANDATED BY THE P. YOU SEE.
THIS BILL WILL NOT REQUIRE
ANYONE. TO PAY FOR POWER THAT
WAS NOT PURCHASED ON THEIR
BEHALF.
AS IS CURRENT PRACTICE ANY
PROCUREMENT MANDATED BY THE P.
YOU SEE WHAT HAVE ITS COST
ASSIGNED. TO THE CUSTOMERS ON
WHOSE BEHALF THAT PROCUREMENT
WAS DONE FOR IN FACT.
I CHALLENGE ANYONE. TWO POINT TO
US WHERE IN THE BILL.
IT SAYS THOSE THREE THINGS.
AB FIFTY SIX SIMPLY GIVES THE P.
YOU SEE THE ABILITY. TO REQUIRE
THE CALIFORNIA ALTERNATIVE
ENERGY AN ADVANCE TRANSPORTATION.
FINANCING AUTHORITY TO PROCURE
BACKSTOP POWER AS GAPS ARE
IDENTIFIED. TO BE VERY CLEAR
AGAIN.
THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS.
THE PROCUREMENT WILL STILL
HAPPEN AT THIS CURRENTLY DONE
THROUGH THE I USE.
AND WILL BE FORCED TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO ENSURE THAT PROCUREMENT
CONTINUES WHEN TWO OR THREE
LARGE I'LL USE.
EITHER CAN'T OR DON'T WANT TO
CONTINUE THAT ROLE.
IT I KNOW MANY IF NOT MOST OF
YOU HAVE HEARD FROM OUR CCA
PARTNERS.
FROM YOUR DISTRICT OR STATE WIDE
ASSOCIATIONS ALLEGING THAT THIS
BILL WILL DISRUPT THEIR ABILITY.
WE HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH CC
EIGHT STAKEHOLDER SINCE FEBRUARY.
AND ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN
FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS. TO
ENSURE THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN.
LET ME SAY UNEQUIVOCALLY.
THAT IS THE POSITION THAT WE'VE
TAKEN.
AND IF THE BILL DOES ANYTHING
OTHER THAN WHAT WE'VE SAID IT
DOES.
WE WILL MAKE SURE.
OUT TO ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES OR
YOU WON'T SEE THIS BILL COME
BACK. FOR CONCURRENCE.
IF THAT NEEDS TO BE FURTHER
CLARIFIED.
I AM HAPPY AND I WELCOME.
MANY OF YOU WHO ARE INTERESTED
IN THIS SUBJECT. TO HELP US
BRING THIS TOGETHER.
THIS IS THE RIGHT MOVE FOR
CALIFORNIA COLLEAGUES. FOR
GREATER RELIABILITY [inaudible]
SUSTAINABILITY. TO REACHING OUR
AGGRESSIVE CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS
IN CALIFORNIA.
AND I WANT TO JUST CLOSE BY
THINKING MY COLLEAGUE FROM
DELMAR FOR SHEPHERDING THIS
PIECE OF LEGISLATION.
IN MY ABSENCE. FOR A FEW OF OUR
SESSIONS IN COMMITTEES I WOULD
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
RIVAL
TAKE THIS GARCIA DOCTOR QUIRK.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
SO I RISE IN SUPPORT OF AB.
FIFTY SIX WE HAVE ALREADY HAD
SITUATIONS [inaudible]
BECAUSE THAT.
HE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR
HAS SEEN THAT WE DO NOT HAVE
ENOUGH ENERGY. TO KEEP
ELECTRICITY ON WHAT THEY DO THEN.
IS TO CONTRACT ON A SHORT TERM
BASIS WHAT ARE CALLED.
RELIABILITY MUST RUN RMR
CONTRACTS.
THESE ARE EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.
WHAT THIS PROCUREMENT WOULD DO
WOULD BE TO SAY IF THE I. S. O.
SEES A PROBLEM ON THE GRID?
THAT YOU CAN ENTER INTO A LONG
TERM CONTRACT WHICH IS MUCH
CHEAPER THAN WHAT WE'RE DOING
NOW.
RELIABILITY MUST RYAN IS
EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE IT DOESN'T
ALLOW IN FACT FOR EVEN THESE
PLANTS TO PLAN AHEAD.
IN ANY WAY IT DOESN'T ALLOW FOR
MAINTENANCE AT CETERA.
THIS IS A FAR BETTER WAY OF
LOOKING AT BACK UP.
THEN USE DEBATE.
THERE WE ARE IN A TRANSITION.
FROM PREDOMINANTLY THE
INDEPENDENT.
OUR SHE'S ME FROM THE INVESTOR
OWNED UTILITIES TO THE COMMUNITY
CHOICE AGGREGATORS.
SOMETIMES THINGS FALL THROUGH
THE CRACKS.
RIGHT NOW THOSE CRACKS ARE BEING
MAINTAINED THROUGH SHORT TERM
VERY EXPENSIVE CONTRACTS.
THIS WOULD ALLOW WHEN THE I SO
SEES A CRACK HAVE A LONGER TERM
CRANCH CONTRACT.
UNTIL THIS CAN BE SOLVED BY THE
ENERGY PURCHASERS PREDOMINANTLY
THE THE COMMUNITY CHOICE
AGGREGATORS.
I URGE YOU TO BRING THIS BILL ON
TO THE SENATE.
ARM.
AND THE STE THE COMMUNITY TRIES
AGGREGATORS OF AS THE THE AUTHOR
HAS SAID.
WE'LL BE ABLE TO GO OVER THIS
LANGUAGE AND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S
DOING EXACTLY WHAT I SAY.
THAT IS WHEN THERE IS A CRACK IT
GETS FILLED AND IT GETS FILLED
IN A WAY WHICH IS CHEAPER THAN
WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW.
SO PLEASE HELP THIS BILL GET ON
TO THE SENATE.
WHERE THE COMMUNITY CHOICE
AGGREGATORS CAN MAKE SURE THAT
THE BILL DOES WHAT I'VE JUST
SAID AND WHAT THE AUTHOR SAYS IT
JUST SAID THANK YOU?
THANK YOU DOCTOR QUIRK MISTER
MERCY G. YOUR RECOGNIZE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I RISE A
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO THIS
BILL.
THIS BILL CAME BEFORE THE
UTILITIES AND ENERGY COMMISSION --
COMMITTEE.
WHERE THE AUTHOR WHO WE ALL KNOW?
IT -- LIKES TO TAKE ON BIG BILLS
AND PUTS IN THE WORK NECESSARY.
TO TO A PRODUCE GOOD POLICY.
NONE THE LESS YOU KNOW I'M
CONCERNED THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT [inaudible]
PROCUREMENT MANDATES.
THERE IS.
SIGNIFICANT AMBIGUITY THAT HAS
NOT BEEN CLEARED UP SINCE THE
UTILITIES COMMITTEE HEARING.
AND I'M LOOKING AT THE
OPPOSITION LIST HERE.
YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE LIKE ME A LOT
OF TIMES IF YOU'RE DEALING WITH
A COMPLICATED SUBJECT.
YOU LOOK AT WHO'S SUPPORTING IT
WHO'S OPPOSING IN.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A
UPDATED LESS THIS IS ALL THE
INFORMATION THAT I HAVE.
BUT THIS IS BEING SUPPORTED BY
THE BIOMASS ALLIANCE AS BEING
OPPOSED BY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
EDISON.
BY ALL OF THE CCA'S BY THE CLEAN
POWER ALLIANCE OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA IN PARTICULAR.
THE LARGEST CCA INSTEAD OF
CALIFORNIA.
AS WELL AS SILICON VALLEY
LEADERSHIP GROUP I THINK THERE'S
REASON FOR CONCERN HERE.
I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT.
MEMBERS WERE AWARE OF THAT THIS
IS A AND BUSINESS BILL WITH A
LOT OF ON UNANSWERED QUESTIONS.
I THINK.
PROCUREMENT SHOULD BE LEFT TO
THE GROWING MOVEMENT OF OUR
COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATORS WHO
ARE EXPECTED PROVIDE UP 280% OF
OUR ENERGY.
IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
THANK YOU MISTER MURATSUCHI MISS
BURKE YOU ARE RECOGNIZED I I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF AB FIFTY SIX
THIS IS FOR CLARIFICATION THIS
IS NOT A PROCUREMENT MANDATE --
THIS IS CENTRALIZED PROCUREMENT
THAT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR
UTILITIES SYSTEM MOVING FORWARD
AS THE SYSTEM MOVES FORWARD AS
IT EVOLVES WE ARE GOING TO NEED
CENTRALIZED PROCUREMENT IN THE
EVENT THAT OTHER.
THINGS LIKE P. GENIES SITUATIONS
HAPPEN AGAIN WHERE PROCUREMENT
MAY BECOME AN ISSUE WE DO NEED A
DEFAULT AB CENTRALIZED
PROCUREMENT OF LAST RESORT.
THIS BILL STARTS THAT ROCESS
AND I RECOMMEND ALSO PEOPLE LOOK
AT THAT TURN IS IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL WHICH IS IMPORTANT
FACTOR.
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE
VOTE.
THANK YOU MS BURKE.
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS SEEKING
RECOGNITION ON THE ITEM.
MR GARCIA YOU MAY CLOSE.
JUST WANT.
TO STAND CORRECTED TO MY

ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS -- MOVING
FORWARD THE QUESTION WILL THEN
BECOME.
IF OUR GOOD PARTNERS -- FROM OUR
CCA'S.
WILL HELP US WITH THE SEMANTICS
THE LANGUAGE YOU KNOW -- CHOICE
OF WORDS THAT NEED TO BE MAYBE
PUT IN THIS BILL TO ENSURE THAT
THEY UNDERSTAND AS WE UNDERSTAND.
AS A BILL AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN

IT'S GONZALEZ THANK YOU OUR
ENVIRONMENT IS BEING OVERRUN BY
LATER AND YOU CAN SEE IT
EVERYWHERE FROM OUR BEACHES TO
OUR PARKS ARE INLAND WATERWAYS.
OUR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE BEING
FLOODED BY WASTE ARE SIMPLY NOT
ABLE TO KEEP UP THE AMOUNT OF
WASTE WE GENERATE TO FIND
OVERSEAS MARKETS TO SHIP OUR SO
CALLED RECYCLABLES. TO LIKE THEY
USED.
TO COMMUNITIES PARTICULARLY
THOSE OF COLOR AND LOW INCOME
LIKE MINE WHO LIVE ALONG THE
COAST SEE THIS THE MOST.
WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT
HER PLASTIC WASTE AND IT'S TIME
THAT WE TAKE A COMPREHENSIVE
APPROACH AS A STATE TO DEALING
WITH IT.
AB TEN EIGHTY WOULD ENSURE
CALIFORNIA'S ON THE FOREFRONT OF
REDUCING POLLUTION FROM SINGLE
USE PACKAGING AND PRODUCTS BY
ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE
GOAL OF REDUCING OUR WASTE.
FROM THESE ITEMS 275% BY TWENTY
THIRTY THREE SOURCE REDUCTION
AND RECYCLING SPECIFICALLY THOSE
MADE OF PLASTIC.
THE BILL WOULD DIRECT CAL
RECYCLED TO DEVELOP REGULATIONS
ON SINGLE USE PACKAGING AND THE
TOP TEN PRIORITY SINGLE USE
PLASTIC ITEMS BASED ON LETTER
SURVEYS REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO
SOURCE REDUCE THESE ITEMS TO
EXTENT FEASIBLE AND ENSURE THAT
THEY ARE FULLY RECYCLABLE OUR
COMPOSTABLE.
THE PACKAGING A PRIORITY SINGLE
USE ITEMS THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES
MANUFACTURERS TO MEET INTERIM
RECYCLING GOALS OF 20% BY TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR WHICH WE KNOW SOME
INDUSTRIES CAN ALREADY MEET.
AND FORTY CENT PERCENT BY.
TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT COLLEAGUES
THIS EXACT PIECE OF LEGISLATION
PASSED THE SENATE YESTERDAY WITH
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT IT'S
IMPORTANT AS WE MOVE THESE BILLS
FOR IT AND THERE WILL BE
CONTINUED DISCUSSION.
ABOUT HOW WE MAKE THESE BETTER
HOW WE CREATE SOME SORT OF OFF
RAMPS HOW WE DO A SCOPING PLAN
BUT AT SOME POINT THAT WE HAVE
OUR VOICE HEARD AS WELL AND WE
DON'T JUST ACCEPT.
AS SENATE BILL MOVING INTO OUR
HOUSE AND MOVING THIS TYPE OF
BIG PROGRAM FOR IT SO TODAY I
ASK THAT YOU HELP ME AND MOVING

NUMBER IS AND SHE IS TOLD ME
SHE'S WILLING TO WORK ON THAT
WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN COME UP WITH
A SOLUTION THERE.
BUT WE DON'T KNOW AT THE PRESENT
TIME WHETHER 75% THE RIGHT
NUMBER OR EIGHTY OR TWENTY AND I

WAY SO THAT WE CAN GET TO THE
RIGHT NUMBER WHETHER IT'S HIGHER
OR LOWER.
SO AGAIN I STRONGLY SUPPORT --

AB TEN EIGHTY AND KEEPING THE
ASSEMBLY AND THIS AUTHOR IN THE
GAME TO NEGOTIATE AS WE GO

THANK YOU DOCTOR QUIRK.
MISTER CALDERON [inaudible]
YOUR RECOGNIZE [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
MISTER SPEAKER IS A MEMBERS
TODAY I'M PROUD TO RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT WE ACT
RIGHT NOW TO REDUCE OUR RELIANCE
ON SINGLE USE PLASTIC CYNOSURE
THAT PLASTICS.
WE ARE USING ARE RECYCLABLE AND
COMPOSTABLE THIS BILL SAYS LOFTY
GOALS FOR CALIFORNIANS.
BUT OUR INDUSTRIES AND CITIZENS
ARE FULLY CAPABLE OF RISING TO
MEET THEM.
PLASTIC ITEMS CAN BE FOUND
LETTER THREE OUT THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
BEAUTIFUL COASTLINE THE BE SEEN
OUR LANDFILLS AND OUR WATER WAYS.
BUT PLASTIC WASTE THAT GETS
DISCARDED INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
DAMAGES ECOSYSTEMS AND MARINE
LIFE IT CONTAINS A CONTAMINATES
OUR FOOD SUPPLY AND CAN LEAD TO
CHEMICAL LEACHING.
EXPOSURE TO THESE PLASTICS ARE
AND ASSOCIATED TOXINS HAS BEEN
LINKED TO CANCER BIRTH DEFECTS
IMPAIRED IMMUNITY ENDOCRINE
DISRUPTION AND OTHER SERIOUS
HEALTH PROBLEMS.
ADDITIONALLY PLASTICS NEGATIVELY
IMPACTS MARINE ECOSYSTEMS AND
WILDLIFE COUNTLESS SEA BIRDS
TURTLES MARINE MAMMALS WHALES
AND DOLPHINS DIE FROM INGESTION
AND DIDN'T OR ENTANGLEMENT.
I MEAN HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE TO
LOOK AT TWITTER TURN ON THE NEWS
TO FIND A DEAD WHALE HAS ROLLED
UP ON A BEACH WITH A STOMACH
FULL OF THIRTY POUNDS OF PLASTIC.
RESEARCHERS ANTICIPATE A 40%
INCREASE IN PLASTIC PRODUCTION
OVER THE NEXT DECADE AT WHICH
POINT PLASTIC PRODUCTION WILL
ACCOUNT 420% OF GLOBAL FOSSIL
FUEL CONSUMPTION.
A LOT OF TIMES WE HEAR THIS
ARGUMENT THAT WERE CALIFORNIA SO
DOES MAKE SENSE WE DO THIS
BECAUSE WE REPRESENT SUCH A
SMALL PIECE OF THE PROBLEM WITH
THAT'S A RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT
BECAUSE WE ARE A LEADER WE ARE A
TREND SETTER.
WHAT WE DO MATTERS NOT JUST ON A
NATIONAL LEVEL BUT ON THE
INTERNATIONAL LEVEL SO THE
DECISIONS WE MAKE THE TONES WE
SAT?
IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF
CHANGING THE CONVERSATION AROUND
ITEMS LIKE SINGLE USE PLASTICS
THAT ARE IN OUR FOOD SUPPLY AND
THAT ARE DAMAGING OUR
ENVIRONMENT AND HAVING A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT.
NOT MAYBE NECESSARILY THOROUGHLY
UNDERSTOOD HOW SIGNIFICANT OF AN
IMPACT THAT THEY'RE HAVING ON US
ESPECIALLY WHEN WE'RE CONSUMING
THEM IN OUR FOOD THIS BILL SETS
GOALS THAT WILL PROTECT HUMAN
AND WILDLIFE HEALTH.
REDUCE CLEANUP COST IN OUR
RELIANCE ON FOSSIL FUELS RESTORE
ECOSYSTEMS AND REVITALIZE
RESOURCE DEPENDENT COMMUNITIES.
LET'S CONTINUE THE TO POSITION
CALIFORNIA IS A GLOBAL LEADER IN
PRESERVING AND PROTECTING OUR
ENVIRONMENT A STRONG WE WERE
JUST AYE VOTE ON THIS BILL.
THEY MUST CALDERON MS FRIEDMAN
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER MEMBERS
I RIDE TODAY RIGHT SAY IT'S A
VERY PROUD CO AUTHOR.
OF AB.
TEN EIGHTY MEMBERS WE KNOW THAT
WE HAVE A CRISIS WHEN IT COMES
TO RECYCLING AND TO PLASTIC
WASTE AROUND THE GLOBE.
IN FACT IF YOU ASK ALMOST ANY
SCHOOL CHILD THEY WILL TELL YOU.
HOW MUCH OF A CRISIS THAT WE
HAVE BUT WE HAVE NOT BEEN ACTING
AS THOUGH WE HAVE A CRISIS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE DON'T HAVE
WE DO NOT HAVE A CRISIS OF
TECHNOLOGY.
WE HAVE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS
PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF
MANUFACTURING RECYCLABLE ITEMS.
THAT ARE EASY TO RECYCLE.
AND A RECYCLING THOSE ITEMS WHAT
WE HAVE HAD IS A CRISIS A
POLITICAL WILL TO REQUIRE THAT
OF MANUFACTURERS.
WE KNOW THAT CHINA AND THE OTHER
THREAD THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES
THAT HAVE BEEN WE HAVE BEEN
DUMPING OUR GARBAGE ON FOR YEARS
NO LONGER ARE GOING TO TAKE OUR
GARBAGE.
IN FACT JUST THIS MORNING I READ
THAT MALAYSIA IS ACTUALLY
SENDING PLASTIC WASTE BACK TO
UNITED STATES.
THEY ARE PUTTING THEM ON BOATS.
ON FREIGHTERS POWERED BY DIRTY
DIESEL OF COURSE AND SENDING
THEM RIGHT BACK TO US.
WE HAVE A LOUD SHIPPERS AND
MANUFACTURERS TO LITERALLY
DUMPED GARBAGE AND PLASTIC INTO
OUR COMMUNITY AND WHO DO WE
EXPECT TO BEAR THE COST OF THAT
WASTE.
OUR RESIDENTS.
WHO ARE GOING TO SEE VERY LARGE
INCREASES IN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT THEY PAY? FOR THEIR TRASH.
AND THEN THEY'RE GOING TO BLAME
US FOR THAT.
WE HAVE ALLOWED MANUFACTURERS.
OFF THE HOOK FOR FAR TOO LONG
THEY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY
CREATE.
THEY SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT
WHATEVER PRODUCTS THEY PUT OUT
ARE NOT JUST TECHNOLOGICALLY
RECYCLABLE IN A LABORATORY BUT
PRACTICALLY IN EASILY RECYCLED
OUT IN THE FIELD.
WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO DO
THAT WE'VE ONLY HAD A POLITICAL
LACK OF WILL.
WELL OUR CHILDREN ARE DEMANDING
MORE FROM US ARE DYING OCEANS
ARE PAYING TESTAMENT TO OUR
FAILURE.
I'M CALIFORNIA CAN LEAD THE
WORLD IN CORRECTING THAT CHANGE.
AND SETTING THE STANDARD THAT
OTHER NATIONS AND OTHER STATES
WILL FOLLOW I URGE AN AYE VOTE
TODAY THANK YOU.
MR BLOOM YOUR RECOGNIZED THANK
YOU MISTER SPEAKER I MEMBERS I
REALLY JUST WANT TO CHIME IN
HERE AND I'M ALSO PROUD CO
AUTHOR OF OF THIS BILL -- AS
MANY OF YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
WORKING ON PLASTICS ISSUES --

DAVID CHIU THE CLERK WILL READ.
ASSEMBLY BILL SIXTEEN ELEVEN BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER DAVID CHIU AND
EXPLAIN TO HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
MR CHIU.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER
COLLEAGUES APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF AB SIXTEEN
ELEVEN WHICH WOULD AND SURPRISE
BILLING IN EMERGENCY ROOMS IN
CALIFORNIA.
IF YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE YOU
WOULD THINK THAT IF YOU NEED
EMERGENCY ROOM CARE YOU'D BE
COVERED.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU'RE BROUGHT
TO THE WRONG HOSPITAL YOU COULD
BE SURPRISED BY AN EXORBITANT
BALANCE BILL THE BILL FOR THE
BALANCE BETWEEN WHAT A HOSPITAL
WANTS TO BE PAID AND WHAT
INSURANCE HAS PAID.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT COULD IMPACT SOME SEVEN
MILLION CALIFORNIANS AND WE ALL
KNOW THAT IF YOU'RE UNDERGOING A
LIFE THREATENING CONDITION YOU
DON'T HAVE THE WHERE WITH ALL.
TO DECIDE WHAT HOSPITAL TO GO.
TO THIS BILL WOULD PROTECT
PATIENTS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES
FROM SURPRISE BOUNCE BILLING
RELATED TO MERGE THE ROOM VISITS.
INSURED PATIENTS WOULD ONLY --
THEIR CO PAYMENT OR DEDUCTIBLE
TO RECOUP OTHER COSTS THE
HOSPITAL INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD
HAVE PROPOSED STANDARDIZED
NEGOTIATIONS SO THAT THERE IS
SOME PREDICTABILITY IN THE
PROCESS.
WE'VE TAKEN MANY AMENDMENTS
THROUGH SEVERAL COMMITTEES TO
BRIDGE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
PATIENTS IN HOSPITALS ADDRESSING
MANY OF THE CONCERNS OF
HOSPITALS I'M COMMITTING THAT
WE'RE GONNA WORK CONTINUE TO
WORK ON THIS BILL IN THE SENATE.
WILL BE MAKING AMENDMENTS IN THE
SENATE AND THIS BILL WILL COME
BACK FOR A CONCURRENCE VOTE.
IN CLOSE AFTER A MEDICAL
EMERGENCY THE ONLY THING A
PATIENT SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT IS HOW TO GET BETTER NOT
WHETHER A HOSPITAL BILL COULD%
LEAD TO FINANCIAL RUIN WITHOUT A
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
HEY RICH JUNE.
DOCTOR WOULD YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER MEMBERS
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
WE DEALT WITH THE ISSUE IN
GENERAL AROUND SURPRISE BILLING --
FOR FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING
RELATED TO MEDICAL CARE IN TWO
THOUSAND AND SIXTEEN AND IT WAS
A REALLY DIFFICULT REALLY
DIFFICULT PROJECT.
AND IT WASN'T PERFECT AND ONE OF
THE THINGS WE DIDN'T ADDRESS WAS
EMERGENCY ROOMS.
AND IT'S CLEAR NOW THAT WE NEED
TO ADDRESS THAT.
I KNOW THAT NOBODY WANTS A
SURPRISE BILL YOU GOT YOU YOU
DON'T HAVE IT CERTAINLY AT TIMES
YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF WHERE
YOU GO.
WITH RELATED TO AN EMERGENCY
MIGHT BE TAKEN THERE BY
AMBULANCE OR FAMILY MEMBER YOU
MIGHT BE OUT OF TOWN.
IT'S SIMPLY NOT FAIR THAT IF
YOU'RE NOT PART OF A NETWORK
THAT YOU GET PAID YOU GET THIS
EXORBITANT BILL AT THE END OF
THE DAY.
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S ANGST ABOUT
THE SECOND PART OF THE BILL
WHICH IS POTENTIALLY LOOKING AT
SETTING RATES -- FOR SOME OF THE
SERVICES AND I WOULD SAY THAT.
WE NEED TO LET THIS BILL MOVE
FORWARD AND WE NEED TO LOOK
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT PART OF
THE BILL I THINK THAT THERE AYE
THERE MAY BE VALID CONCERNS.
THIS GIVES ALL HOSPITALS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW WAS THE DATA
SHOW WAS THE REASONS SHOW US
WHAT YOU WHAT YOU MAY GAIN OR
WHAT YOU MAY LOSE FROM THIS BILL.
SO WE CAN ACTUALLY WORK WITH YOU
ON A SOLUTION EVERY TIME WE TRY
TO DO ANYTHING AROUND
AFFORDABILITY OR TRYING TO LEVEL
OUT COSTS.
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD FOR
WHOEVER MIGHT BE AFFECTED.
SO.
WE NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE ACTUALLY
PROVE THE IT'S PRETTY SHOW IT
SHOWS THE INFORMATION GIVE US
THE OPPORTUNITY REACT JUST
SAYING THIS IS GONNA BE BAD FOR
US AND BAD FOR HOSPITALS.
IS NOT ACCEPTABLE LOT OF
PATIENTS ARE GETTING BILLS THAT
THEY SIMPLY DON'T DESERVE AND I
THINK THIS IS A THIS DEFICIT
BILLS A STEP FORWARD I WANT TO
CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR
ON THIS.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHEN IT
COMES BACK ON CONCURRENCE YOU
DON'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR IT.
BUT GIVE THIS GIVE THIS --
PROCESS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY
OUT LET US PROTECT PATIENTS FROM
SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS E. OURS
AND GIVE AND GIVE US A CHANCE TO
WORK THROUGH THIS I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR I'VE A THANK YOU DOCTOR
WOULD MEMBERS AS PLEASE KEEP THE
VOLUME LEVEL MANAGEABLE.
IN THE CHAMBER SO WE GET ALL
HERE THE DEBATE BEFORE THE BODY
IS POWER QUE AND YOUR RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE IN SUPPORT OF AB --
SIXTEEN ELEVEN AFTER THE PASSAGE
OF OUR COLLEAGUE FROM ALAMEDA IS
BILL THAT DEALT WITH BALANCE
BILLION HOSPITALS I ARRIVED IN
IN IN NETWORK HOSPITAL TO BE
TREATED BY AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST I
NEVER MATT WHO IS OUT OF NETWORK.
I RECEIVED A BILL THAT WAS WELL
BEYOND ANYTHING I EXPECTED THAT
I COULDN'T AFFORD.
AND I WAS SHOCKED I DIDN'T
REALIZE WHEN YOU SHOP IN NETWORK
HOSPITAL YOU CAN BE TREATED BY
AN OUT OF NETWORK COSTS DOCTOR
YOU'VE NEVER EVEN MATS.
AND THANKS TO THE BILL THAT THIS
BODY PASSED I WAS ABLE TO CALL
AND GET IT CORRECTED AND I ONLY
HAD TO PAY THE RATES THE MY
INSURANCE GUARANTEED.
AND SO I HAVE BENEFITTED FROM
THE WORK ON THIS SUBJECT THAT
THIS BODY HAS DONE AND SO I URGE
YOU TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE
THERE'S NO REASON THAT SOMEONE
WHO SHOWS UP IN THE EMERGENCY
ROOM.
AND EXPERIENCE IS THE SAME THING
I EXPERIENCE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY
AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY
JUST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT THEY WERE GETTING.
AND I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS
ABOUT THE SECOND PART THE BILL I
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S
CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO WORK ON
THE RATE SETTING PORTION AND I
TRUST HIM TO DO SO BUT I THINK
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION.
THAT PROTECTS CALIFORNIANS SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE THAT.
MISTER MURATSUCHI YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU VERY MUCH I
I ALSO RISE IN SUPPORT OF AB.
SIXTEEN ELEVEN YOUR COLLEAGUES I
THINK -- WHERE WE'RE SEEING IN
WASHINGTON THAT -- THERE IS
GROWING BY PARTISAN MOVEMENT TO
FIGHT BACK AGAINST SURPRISE
MEDICAL BILLS THIS IS PART OF
THAT EFFORT.
WHILE I I I TRUST MY MY SEAT
MADE WELCOME WILL CONTINUE TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE THE THE
ISSUES THAT REMAIN WE NEED TO
PUSH ON THE HOSPITAL INDUSTRY --
IN ORDER. TO TO ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE OF SURPRISE MEDICAL BILLS
IT'S IMPORTANT BILL TRANSFERS

THANK YOU MISTER MURATSUCHI
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS SEEKING
RECOGNITION ON THIS ITEM.
MR CHIU YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU
MISTER SPEAKER VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF THE
CHAMBER HEALTH COMMITTEE -- THE
PERSONAL STORY FORMER COLLEAGUE
BRENDA -- OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
TORRANCE.
I STARTED DIGGING IN THIS ISSUE
WHEN WE DISCOVERED IN OUR CITY
THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS
IN RECENT YEARS WITH AN
EMERGENCY BOUNCE BUILD EVEN

THEY HAD INSURANCE IN EVERY ONE
OF OUR DISTRICTS IN EVERYONE OF
OUR DISTRICTS WE HAVE
INDIVIDUALS WHO UNFORTUNATELY
ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AGAIN
SEVEN MILLION CALIFORNIANS HAVE
INSURANCE BUT IF THEY GET SENT
TO THE WRONG EMERGENCY ROOM.
THEY CAN GET A BILL FOR TWENTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN SOME
INSTANCES SEVERAL HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUE THE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE HOSPITALS
AND OTHERS TO GET TO THE RIGHT
SOLUTION ON THIS THIS IS HARD
BUT WERE ASKING YOU TO DO TODAY
IS CAST A VOTE. FOR THOSE
PATIENTS WHO EITHER HAVE BEEN
BOUNCE BUILT OR COULD BE BALLOTS
BUILT. TO GIVE US THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HOPEFULLY GET TO
THE RIGHT PLACE WE'RE ALMOST

MR CHILL.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER
COLLEAGUES APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF AB EIGHT FIFTY
SEVEN AS WELL SO MANY
CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD WITH
MANY OF YOU THREE THREE
COMMITTEES AND MANY MOMENTS
ALONG THE WAY. FOR SOME I KNOW
THIS IS A NEW IDEA BUT IT'S
MODELED AFTER AN OLD IDEA AFTER
THE PUBLIC BANK OF NORTH DAKOTA.
WHICH ENJOY THAT'S ONE HUNDRED
YEAR ANNIVERSARY SUCCESS THIS
YEAR AS WELL AS PUBLIC BANKS AND
OTHER COUNTRIES.
OUR BILL DOES NOT ESTABLISH A
PUBLIC BANK IT SIMPLY CREATES A
PROCESS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO
CHARTER PUBLIC BANK A LONG MULTI
YEAR PROCESS WITH MANY
REGULATORY HURDLES.
ARE BILL REQUIRES A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT BE OF A CERTAIN SIZE
BEFORE APPLYING FOR BANKING
CHARTER WE TOOK AMENDMENTS TO
EXCLUDE SPECIAL DISTRICTS AND
REQUIRES SMALLER COUNTIES. TO
FORM GPAS.
MAYBE YOU ASKED US QUESTIONS
ABOUT HOW WE ENSURE THAT PUBLIC
BANK ASSETS ARE SAFEGUARDED
UNLIKE PRIVATE BANKS ARE BILL
REQUIRES A PUBLIC BANK TO ABIDE
BY A FIDUCIARY DUTY. TO PROTECT
ITS ASSETS REQUIRING COMPLIANCE
WITH ALL REQUIREMENTS OF
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ON
BANKING LAW WITH ALL REPORTING
AND TRANSPARENCY REQUIREMENTS.
ARE BILL ALSO REQUIRES A PUBLIC
BANKS KEEP THE SAME COLLATERAL
QUORUM IT'S AS PRIVATE BANKS.
WE ESTABLISHED AMENDMENTS WE
ACCEPTED AMENDMENTS TO REQUIRE
PUBLIC BANK MAINTAIN FDIC
DEPOSIT INSURANCE AND TO CONDUCT
A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND HAVE A
FULLY BLOWN.
BUSINESS PLAN THAT ANALYZES
COSTS CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS IN THE
GALLERY WHEN APPLYING FOR A
BANKING CHARTER.
ALSO WANNA SAY WE ARE ENGAGED
VERY DEEPLY WAS STAKEHOLDER SUCH
AS CREDIT UNIONS AND OTHER
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND ARE
HOPEFUL THAT THESE CONVERSATIONS
WILL MAKE THE BILL EVEN BETTER
IN THE SENATE.
I WANT TO THANK THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE THAT REMOVED
OUR BILL BECAUSE OF ALL THE
MEMBERS SO WE'VE TAKEN FROM ITS
JOB KILL A LIST.
AND OF COURSE I WANT TO THANK
THE ONE HUNDRED PLUS
ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE COME ON
IN SUPPORT OF A BILL.
AND A PARTICULAR WANT TO THANK
ALL OF OUR JOINT AUTHORS BUT BUT
MARK MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES WHO HAS BEEN A
TREMENDOUS PARTNER ON MOVING
THIS BILL AND WITHOUT A
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN.
MS WICKS YOUR RECOGNIZED THANK
YOU MISTER SPEAKER AND AND
COLLEAGUES I RISES A A PROUD CO
AUTHOR OF AB. EIGHT FIVE SEVEN
AB EIGHT FIVE SEVEN PROVIDES AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL CITIES TO
ESTABLISH A PUBLIC BANK SHOULD
THEY CHOOSE AND SHOULD THEY GO
THROUGH.
THE NECESSARY AND CRITICAL
HURDLES TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE
AYE ABILITY TO DO SO DOESN'T
REQUIRE THEM TO DO SO JUST GIVES
AN OPTION.
AND THE THING THAT I VERTICALLY
LIKE ABOUT THIS BILL IS THAT --
IT ALLOWS LOCAL INVESTMENTS BY
PUBLIC BANK THAT COULD INCLUDE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CLEAN ENERGY
AND SMALL BUSINESSES.
IT GIVES THE POWER BACK TO THE
CONSUMERS THROUGH THIS PUBLIC
BANK AND UNLIKE PRIVATE BANKS
THAT PRIORITIZE SHAREHOLDER
RETURNS.
THESE PUBLIC BANKS COULD PROVIDE
BENEFITS TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES IN
THE RESIDENCE IN WHATEVER THOSE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES ONE AND I
THINK IT REALLY EMPOWERS THESE
LOCAL COMMUNITIES.
I WOULD STRONGLY URGE AN AYE
VOTE ON ON AB EIGHT FIVE SEVEN
APPRECIATE -- THE WORK -- OF MY
COLLEAGUES FROM A LOS ANGELES
AND SAN FRANCISCO ON THIS.
MR MURATSUCHI YOUR RECOGNIZE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I ARM.
HAVE HAD COUNT MANY
CONVERSATIONS WITH MIGHT MY SEAT
MADE ABOUT THIS BILL AND I JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT.
THAT EVERYONE HERE UNDERSTANDS.
IT -- THE THE POTENTIAL ROAD
THAT WE'RE GOING DOWN HERE I I'M
I'M READING FROM THE LOS ANGELES
TIMES EDITORIAL -- THIS TALKING
ABOUT HOW.
THIS IS FROM MAY TWENTY SEVENTH
JUST A FEW DAYS AGO.
STATE LEGISLATURE CONSIDERS A
BILL TO LET.
EIGHT CITIES OPERATE BANKS STUDY
SO IT'S A REALLY BAD IDEA.
YOU KNOW I DISCORDANT FROM
PASSAGES OF OF THE OP ED.
FEASIBILITY STUDIES HAVE
REPEATEDLY FOUND THAT A PUBLIC
BANK WOULD BE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND TOO
RISKY FOR TAXPAYERS WHILE ALSO
DELIVERING QUESTIONABLE VALUE
VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY.
COUNTLESS PUBLIC BANK PROPOSALS
HAVE BEEN ABANDONED OVER THE
YEARS BECAUSE BANKING IS REALLY
EXPENSIVE COMPLICATED IN RISKY
BUSINESS [inaudible]
YOU KNOW.
I I THINK MOST OF US ALREADY
HAVE OUR MINDS MADE UP AS AS TO
HOW WE WANT TO VOTE ON THIS BUT
I JUST WANT TO SHARE.
YOU KNOW TO CAUTIONARY TALES.
IN A ONE I THINK IS IS IS
PROBABLY BETTER KNOWN IN ORANGE
COUNTY WHEN THEY WHEN THEY TRY.
TO RAISE FUNDS WITHOUT RAISING
TAXES THEY THEY STARTED ENGAGING
AND AND BOND TRADING.
AND THAT WILL LEAD TO THE ORANGE
COUNTY GOING TO BANKRUPTCY.
AND IN MY OWN DISTRICT IN THE
CITY OF GARDENA.
THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GREAT
IDEA.
TO FORM A MUNICIPAL INSURANCE.
COMPANY.
YOU KNOW THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY
CAN -- YOU KNOW.
CIRCUMVENT THE FOR PROFIT
MOTIVES OF OF INSURANCE OF
PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES AND
TO PROVIDE THEIR COMMUNITY
SERVICE.
WELL IT ENDED UP BEING A HUGE
FINANCIAL DEBACLE.
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE
EXPERTISE.
YOU KNOW THE THE THE THE THE
MOTIVATIONS FOR PUBLIC ENTITIES
ARE ARE.
ARE -- YOU KNOW DIFFERENT FOR
BETTER OR WORSE -- AND IT GOT
THEM IN THE CITY BANK OF
GUARDINO ALSO ALMOST ENTERED
INTO BANKRUPTCY [inaudible]
AND SO.
YOU KNOW AS WE VOTE ON THIS BILL
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT --
YOU KNOW I I KNOW THAT THIS IS
TREMENDOUSLY POPULAR ESPECIALLY
WITH THE WITH THE OUR OUR OUR
PROGRESSIVE FRIENDS -- BUT WE WE
OPEN WE GO INTO THIS WITH OUR
EYES WIDE OPEN.
WE STUDY THE HISTORY WE LOOK AT
THE CAUTIONARY TALES -- I WE
MAKE OUR OUR VOTES THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER MURATSUCHI MS
KAMLAGER-DOVE.
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER I DO
WANT TO ECHO THE CONCERNS RAISED
BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM THE SOUTH
BAY -- CONCEPTUALLY THIS.
IS A REALLY GOOD IDEA BUT I
THINK IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT
WE CONSIDER -- THE REALITIES
BEFORE US ACROSS -- THIS STATE --
AND I HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS BILL BECAUSE IT WILL
FOLLOW FDIC REGULATIONS THAT
MEANS THAT ALL OF THOSE IN THE
CANNABIS MARKETS WILL STILL BE
ON ABLE TO PARTICIPATE.
IN THESE BANKS IF YOU HAVE A
PUBLIC BANK DOES THAT MEAN THAT
YOU ARE ALSO WILL IT HAVE CITY
EMPLOYEES THAT ARE WORKING FOR
IT OR WILL IT JUST BE -- WILL
THOSE THAT ARE HIRED WILL BE
EMPLOYEES JUST BE FROM THE CITY
OR THERE'S JURISDICTION -- UNDER
WHICH THE BANK IS FOUNDED SO ARE
YOU INCREASING BUREAUCRACY OR
NOT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HELPING
THE UNDER BANKED IN THE ON BANKS
BE ABLE TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT.
BUT THOSE -- POTENTIAL --
CLIENTS OF A BANK STILL HAVE TO
ABIDE BY THE CRITERIA SET BY
FEDERAL LAWS SO HOW WILL THESE
PUBLIC BANKS ENSURE THAT THOSE
FOLKS WHO ARE UNBANKED AND UNDER
BANKED GET CERTAIN KINDS OF
ACCOMMODATIONS. TO ALLOW THEM TO
BANK I WOULD BE REALLY CONCERNED
IF WE DID THIS AND YOU LOOKED UP
AND YOU SAW THAT THERE ARE ONLY
CITY BANKS IN CERTAIN
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE.
AND THOSE COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE
IN SOUTH LA WHO PROBABLY
DESPERATELY NEED A COMMUNITY
BANK LIKE THIS WOULDN'T BE ABLE
TO HAVE ONE OPEN.
SO I THINK AS WE CONTINUE TO
TALK ABOUT THESE ISSUES WE AND
THEN ONCE AGAIN WHAT ABOUT THE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR BANKS HOW
ARE THOSE FOLKS BEING SELECTED
WILL THOSE BE POLITICAL
SELECTIONS WILL THEY BE SELECTED
BY THE CITY MANAGER -- OR THE
MAYOR -- I THINK THESE ARE REAL
ISSUES THAT WE NEED TO CONTINUE
TO WORK OUT BEFORE WE GO DOWN
THIS ROAD SO I WOULD JUST ASK
FOR YOUR FOLKS TO REALLY
CONSIDER THOSE CONCERNS WHILE
PROCESSING HOW THEY'RE GOING TO
VOTE FOR THIS BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISS KAMLAGER-DOVE
MINS GARCIA YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU I ALSO RISE WITH THE A
LOT OF HESITATION FOR THIS
POLICY.
I HAVE A COMMUNITY THAT HAS A
LOT OF UNDER BANKED AND UNBANKED
CONSTITUENCY AND I GET THAT THE
STARS WANT TO HELP THEM OUT
THERE.
BUT I ALSO HAVE A COMMUNITY AT
THE SPEAKER THAT THE CORRIDOR
CORRUPTION.
AND HIM AND I SAID TOGETHER MOST
RECENTLY SOMEONE MY COUNCIL
MEMBERS RENDON USE WE'VE ALL
BEEN TALKING ABOUT THAT AGAIN.
AND IT'S BEEN THAT WAY SINCE
BEFORE I GOT HERE AND IT
CONTINUES.
OF TALK ABOUT HOW WHILE I'VE
BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST THAT FOR
THE LAST TEN YEARS I OFTEN FEEL
LIKE WE HAVE MOVED BACKWARDS
THAT AFFORD.
IN THAT SPACE AND SO WE'RE IS ME
TO GIVE ANOTHER TOOL TO MY
COUNCIL MEMBERS LOCAL LIKE IT'S
TO ABUSE.
ARE OUT THERE UNDER THE FALSE
PRETEXT OF HELPING A COMMUNITY
THAT REALLY IF THE NEED AND DOES
NEED SOME OF THE SERVICES OUT
THERE.
THAT'S WERE HAVING THIS
DISCUSSION I KNOW IT'S POPULAR
WITH A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS OUT
THERE I HOPE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE WON'T ABILITIES AND WE'RE
TRYING TO FIND SOLUTIONS. TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT JUST
GIVING ANOTHER TOOL FOR FOLKS TO
STEAL OUR MONEY AND MORE ELECTED
OFFICIALS TO A ROAD THE PUBLIC
TRUST OUT OF MY COMMUNITY THANK
YOU.
DOCTOR CHOI YOUR RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU SPEAKER AND THE
MEMBERS SIDE RISE SO -- TO
OPPOSE SAW A AB -- EIGHT FIFTY
SEVEN I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE WHY
GOVERNMENT.
IS -- NOW TRYING TO AND FOR A
COMMERCIAL.
ALL MARKET PLAYS SO I THOUGHT
THAT WE HAD THE BODY OF A MAKING
POLICIES SO.
NOW WE CAN NOT ONCE WE START
THIS KIND OF A COMMERCIAL
ACTIVITIES OF FOR PROFIT.
WHY ARE YOU CAN MAKE IT TOUGH
FOR NON PROFIT BUT THE?
YOU CANNOT OPERATE -- SO TEN
NINETY TWO WITHOUT MAKING
PROFITS IN THE COMPETING WITH
THE ESTABLISH THE COME
COMMERCIAL ENTITIES.
AND THE NEXT TWO MAY BE --
HEALTH INSURANCE AND NEXT I'M IN
THE US ALREADY UP BEING PROPOSED
AS SOMEONE PAY UP IN A POLICY.
YOU KNOW WE CAN GO ON AND ON NOT
THIS KIND OF ACTIVITIES SO AND
THAT THIS IS SAW OF SUCH A BAD
IDEA.
AND THAT WE SHOULD NOT ALLOW
SUCH A RISK OF FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO CITIES AND
COUNTIES TO EVEN STATE THAT TO
ENTER.
A SUCH A RISKY BUSINESS ARE AND
IN PRINCIPLE OR WE SHOULD NOT TO
COMPETE WITH THE IS TABLETS OF
COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS I
STRONGLY URGE YOU. TO TO VOTE NO.
THANK YOU DON'T CHOI MISTER
STONE YOUR RECORD.
THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER MEMBERS
I RISE IN ABSOLUTE SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL RECOGNIZE.
THEY COUNTIES PERFORM A LOT OF
THIS FUNCTION ANYWAY THEY TAKE
IN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY
FROM LOCAL AGENCIES.
THEY HOLD ON TO THAT.
AND THAT MONEY SITS WITH THE
COUNTY.
WITHOUT BEING ABLE REALLY TO BE
USED TO THE BENEFIT OF OF THE
COMMUNITY.
THIS IS NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR
COMMERCIAL BANKS THIS IS NOT
EVEN NECESSARILY.
A WAY JUST YET FOR THE CANNABIS
INDUSTRY TO GET BAGS WHAT IT IS
IS A WAY FOR THE MONEY THAT
CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE HOLDING
DUE TO THEIR NORMAL COURSE OF
BUSINESS. TO BE ABLE TO USE THAT
TO INVEST APPROPRIATELY IN THEIR
COMMUNITY.
KEEP THAT CAPITAL LOCAL AND MAKE
IT WORK.
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION
FOR THE UNDER BANKS THIS IS A
VERY VIABLE POSSIBILITY IF
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT.
THE ORANGE COUNTY AND SOME OF
THE OTHER TO BAKUL SAID IT
HAPPENED BEFORE REMEMBER THOSE
WERE HAPPENING WITH DECISION
MAKERS.
OPERATING WITHOUT A LOT OF
STRUCTURE AROUND THEM FOR ANY
REAL OVERSIGHT.
THIS PROVIDES A PATH FOR THAT
OVERSIGHT PROVIDES A PATH FOR
THE MONIES THAT ARE BEING HELD
ANYWAY.
SOMETIMES HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS ACROSS THE STATE WELL
ACROSS THE CALIFORNIA MUCH MORE
THAN THAT BUT IN A GIVEN COUNTY.
POTENTIALLY HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO VERY
CAUTIOUSLY BE WORKED INTO THE
COMMUNITY TO THE BENEFIT OF THAT
COMMUNITY.
AND FOR ALL THIS IS A VERY
VIABLE HAVE.
UNDER A STRICT STRUCTURE THAT IS
NOT REPLACING LOCAL BANKS IT IS
NOT REPLACE IN THE COMMERCIAL
SECTOR IT FEELS A VERY DIFFERENT
NASH AND IT WILL BE A VERY GOOD
A GOOD.
USE OF THE MONEY THAT IS
COLLECTED ACROSS CALIFORNIA FOR
LOCAL REINVESTMENT AND I URGE
AND EITHER.
THEY WERE STONE DR QUIRK YOUR
RECOGNIZE.
FIRST OF ALL I I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO A. B. EIGHT FIVE
SEVEN REGRETFULLY.
I HAVE TREMENDOUS RESPECT FOR
THE AUTHOR BUT I JUST DON'T
THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA
[inaudible]
ARM.
WE ALL REMEMBER -- EIGHT OH NINE
WHEN.
THIS OP WHEN BANKS -- SUPPOSEDLY
WELL MANAGED WENT OUT OF
BUSINESS WERE ABSORBED BY OTHER
BANKS.
OF REMEMBER THE SAVINGS AND
LOANS TO BAKUL.
EVEN A WELL RUN.
BANK IN THE WRONG SITUATION.
OUR AND IF YOU PARTICULAR IF YOU
INVEST PROJECT PREDOMINANTLY
LOCALLY YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO
GET CAUGHT UP.
AT THE SAME TIME THAT YOUR TAXES
ARE GOING DOWN -- YOUR LOCAL
ECONOMY IS GOING DOWN AND IF YOU
INVESTED PRIMARILY THERE IT'S
JUST TAKING A RISK THAT'S TOO
MUCH.
NOW IN MY OWN CITY WHILE I WAS
ON CITY COUNCIL WE HAD A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS.
ARE IN.
THAT WAS NOT IN RESERVE BUT
SIMPLY THAT WE HAD TO KEEP.
AND THAT WAS INVESTED VERY
CONSERVATIVELY IN THE STATE WIDE
FUND THAT THE CITIES AND
COUNTIES HAVE AVAILABLE TO THEM.
BUT IT'S INVESTED IN.
TREASURY BILLS OTHER THINGS THAT
ARE EXTREMELY EXTREMELY -- SAFE.
AND THAT'S WHERE YOUR MONEY
SHOULD BE.
NOW IF YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT --
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE INVESTING
IN A WALL STREET BANKER YOU'RE
SENDING YOUR MONEY TO WALL
STREET BANKS.
THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES FOR THE
CREDIT UNIONS I DON'T KNOW THAT
THEY ARE FOR ALL THE SERVICES.
THAT MISTER CHIU WOULD LIKE BUT
THEY CERTAINLY.
DO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY --
THEY'RE NOT -- MOTIVATED BY THE
OUR PROFIT MOTIVE AND THEY HAVE
BEEN EXTREMELY SAFE.
STABLE AND I WOULD JUST URGE THE
OFFER AUTHORED TO THINK ABOUT
WORKING WITH THE CREDIT UNIONS
WHICH ARE ALREADY WELL
ESTABLISHED HAVE A VERY LONG
HISTORY OF STABILITY.
AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE THERE
AND WORK WITH THAT INDUSTRY
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU THAT QUIRK.
MR SANTIAGO.
I THANK YOU MISTER SPEAKER
MEMBERS AND I I APPRECIATE THE
RIGORS DEBATE.
AND LIKE ALL NEW IDEAS SOMETIMES
ARE CHALLENGING.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE
BILL REALLY DOES AND MOST OF YOU
HAVE HEARD FOR ME.
A NUMBER OF TIMES THE BILL DOES
NOT ESTABLISH BANKS
AUTOMATICALLY.
IT DOESN'T A PUTS A VERY
RIGOROUS PROCESS.
A RICH A VERY RIGOROUS PROCESS
THAT REQUIRES A FEASIBILITY
STUDY.
SO IF YOU CAN'T PASS A
FEASIBILITY STUDY.
YOU CAN'T EVEN MOVE FORWARD.
YOU'VE GOT A YOU'VE GOT TO
DECLARE A PUBLIC GOOD.
AND WHY NOT WHY NOT A BANK THAT
WORKS FOR PUBLIC GOOD AND LOCAL
AREAS AND REINVEST ARE DOLLARS
THAT IS MOTIVATED BY DOING GOOD.
RATHER THAN MOTIVATED BY THE
BOTTOM LINE.
THEN YOU STILL GOT TO FOLLOW ALL
FEDERAL LAWS.
ALL FEDERAL LAW IS GONNA BE
FOLLOWED.
YOU'VE GOT TO GO TO THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT BUSINESS
OVERSIGHT OFFICE.
OOPS I STUMBLE THEIR BUT YOU'VE
GOT TO GO THROUGH THAT THAT'S
NOT A THAT'S NOT A NEARLY
PROCESS THAT YOU GO THROUGH THAT
IS A SERIOUS PROCESS.
SO A LOT OF THE CONCERNS OF
FOLKS THAT SAID I APPRECIATE.
BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GO
THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
IF YOU HAD SOME OF THOSE
PROBLEMS THAT HAVE BEEN THAT
HAVE BEEN SUGGESTED ON THE FLOOR.
BUT I APPRECIATE THE DEBATE ON
THE LAST.
YOU HAVE TO BE FDIC INSURED.
WE'RE NOT SAYING JUST GO PUT
MONIES AT RISK YOU HAVE TO BE
FDIC INSURED.
AND SOMEONE MENTIONED -- THE LA
TIMES ARTICLE.
BUT WE APPRECIATE THE RIGOROUS
DEBATE.
WE DIDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
REAP BOTTLE BECAUSE WE WERE
NEVER CONTACTED.
LET'S BE VERY CLEAR THE REPORT
THAT THEY POINT TO WAS ABOUT
CANNABIS DOLLAR WAS NOT ABOUT
THE TYPE OF DOLLARS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
AND AT THE VERY LEAST AT THE
VERY LEAST I WOULD SAY.
THAT I DON'T THINK REASONABLY.
IT IT'S A IT'S A CHALLENGING
IDEA TO THINK.
THAT WE SHOULD PUSH BIG BANKS TO
DO A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAT
WE SHOULDN'T THINK ABOUT DOING A
NEW WAY OF BANKING BECAUSE THE
OLD WAY OF BANKING ISN'T
NECESSARILY WORKING FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES.
WE HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH
INCOME INEQUALITY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WE HAVE GOT THE CHALLENGE.
BILLIONAIRES AND WALL STREET TO
DO SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENTLY.
AND LOOK WE'VE GOT A LONG DEBATE
IN THE SENATE.
HOW MANY IDEAS HAVE WE PUSH
THROUGH THIS THROUGH THIS
LEGISLATURE THAT ARE NOT BEEN
PERFECT?
BUT ARE ON THEIR WAY TOWARDS
IMPROVING EIGHT AT TOWARDS
IMPROVING.
THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PEOPLE.
THIS LEGISLATIVE PROCESS WILL
ALLOW US. TO ADDRESS CONCERNS.
WILL ALLOW US TO ADDRESS THOSE
COMMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE.
AND GET TO A FINAL PRODUCT.
THAT WILL IMPROVE THE LIVES OF
CALIFORNIANS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NIVEAU.
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS SEEKING
RECOGNITION ON THE ITEM.
MR CHIU YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU
COLLEAGUES VERY MUCH APPRECIATE
THE RIGOROUS DEBATE -- THIS IS A
DEBATE THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING
ALL YEAR -- AND I WANT TO TAKE A
MOMENT AND THANK THE BANKING
COMMITTEE THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
COMMITTEE THE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE FOR PUTTING US AS A
SUPPORTERS THIS BILL THROUGH THE
PACES TO ADDRESS.
THOSE QUESTIONS.
I WOULD SUBMIT THAT WE HAVE DONE
THAT AND LET ME JUST TAKE A FEW
OF THE ISSUES THAT AND REYES
FIRST OF ALL WITH REGARDS TO THE
POSSIBILITY THE POLITICIZATION
OF BANKS.
UNLIKE PRIVATE BANKS.
WHERE THERE IS NO IF I DO SURE
DUE TO THE PUBLIC WE ESTABLISH
THAT WITH THIS?
THERE'D BEEN QUESTIONS AROUND
THE IMPACT OF THIS BILL ON
SMALLER FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.
THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS.
SINCE I GRADUATED FROM SCHOOL
SOME TWENTY PLUS YEARS AGO.
THE LARGEST WALL STREET BANKS
HAVE SWALLOWED UP 75% OF
CALIFORNIANS LOCAL BANKS.
AND THIS BILL.
THIS BILL ENVISIONS A
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN ANY LOCAL
PUBLIC BANK.
AND CREDIT UNIONS AND LOCAL
COMMUNITY BANKS JUST AS IS THE
MODEL WITH THE BANK OF NORTH
DAKOTA WHICH HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
THE FOR THE BETTER PART OF A
CENTURY.
I WE'VE CERTAINLY HEARD THE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE FACT THAT
THERE MAY BE SOME LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS THAT EITHER DON'T
HAVE THE WHERE WITH ALL TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS OR FOR
HOME.
THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL
LEADERSHIP TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS
WE ARE AT THIS MOMENT DISCUSSING
AMENDMENTS THAT WE WOULD ACCEPT
IN THE SENATE TO ADDRESS.
THOSE VERY CONCERNS.
BUT LET ME JUST CLOSE BY SAYING
WE NEED ANOTHER OPTION THAN WHAT
WE HAVE RIGHT NOW I THINK
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT AT THE
MOMENT WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
OF ASSETS BEING HELD BY OUR
CITIES IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THE ESTIMATE IS SEVEN
HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS.
THAT IS GOING TO THE LARGEST
WALL STREET BANKS IN THE COUNTRY.
AND THOSE BANKS ARE INVESTING
PUBLIC MONIES.
AGAINST OUR CALIFORNIA VALUES IN
FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRIES IN GUN
MANUFACTURERS IN PRIZE PRIVATE
PRISONS IN COMPANIES WITH UNFAIR
LABOR PRACTICES.
AND WE KNOW.
THAT THESE LARGEST BANKS HAVE
NOT BEEN ABLE TO ADDRESS THE
NEEDS OF CONSUMERS WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING PREDATORY LENDING
WHO HAD MILLIONS OF FAKE BANK
ACCOUNTS OPEN IN THEIR NAMES.
WHO'VE LOST HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS OF INTEREST PAYMENTS
AFTER THE GREAT RECESSION.
WE ALL HAVE LITERALLY MILLIONS
OF HOMEOWNERS WHO'VE BEEN
VICTIMIZED BY THE MORTGAGE
FORECLOSURE CRISIS STUDENTS
VICTIMIZED BY GREENLANDERS SMALL
BUSINESSES TONIGHT ACCESS TO
CAPITAL.
THIS IS A BILL TO SUGGEST
ANOTHER PATH IT WOULD ALLOW FOR
THE POSSIBILITY OF CHARTERING A
LOCAL BANK BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT
THE CRITIQUE OF THIS BILL IS.
THE REQUIREMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN
PLACED ALREADY BY THIS ASSEMBLY
IN THIS BILL.
COULD LIKELY MAKE IT SO
DIFFICULT THAT WOULD BE VERY
DIFFICULT FOR ANY LOCAL
JURISDICTION TO CREATE A LOCAL
BANK BECAUSE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED
ALL OF THESE CRITERIAS BUT WHAT
WE'RE SAYING TO COLLEAGUES IS.
LET'S GIVE US A CHANCE TO HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION GIVE US A
CHANCE TO DO THIS AND WITHOUT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
