THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR

AMENDMENTS.
SB FIVE EIGHTY ONE WOULD REQUIRE
STARTING ON JANUARY FIRST TWO
TWENTY TWENTY TWO THE BUREAU OF
CANNABIS CONTROL THE DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURE TO POST ON THEIR
INTERNET WEBSITE OR R. OR ON
THAT CALIFORNIA CANNABIS PORTAL
CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT AN
APPLICANT IN LICENSEE WHICH IS
PUBLIC INFORMATION.
UNDER THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT.
THE BILL WILL BRING TRANSPARENCY
TO THE NEW THIS NEWLY LEGALIZED
INDUSTRY AND PROVIDE THE PUBLIC
AND INTERESTED STAKEHOLDERS WITH
THE CENTRALIZED LIST OF WHO IS
APPLYING FOR THE CANNABIS
LICENSES.
AND WHO IS LICENSED IN THE STATE.
THE BILL DOES NOT SEEK TO
DISCLOSE INFORMATION THAT COULD
NOT BE ATTAINED THROUGH A PUBLIC
RECORDS REQUEST AND IS NECESSARY
BECAUSE THE AVERAGE CITIZEN MAY
NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO RECEIVE.
THIS INFORMATION THROUGH A
PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST.
WE KNOW LICENSING AUTHORITIES
CURRENTLY PROVIDE SIMILAR
INFORMATION AS REQUIRED IN SB.
FIVE EIGHTY ONE FOR OTHER
INDUSTRIES ULTIMATELY CALIFORNIA
NEEDS POLICIES TO CREATE A
TRANSPARENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
THIS CITIZENS WORKERS AND OTHER
STAKEHOLDERS CAN EASILY ACCESS

SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES --
GETTING THE INFORMATION
REGARDING APPLICANTS AND IN FACT
LICENSEES.
FROM THE FROM THE RESPECTIVE
AGENCIES THAT ARE ARE CHARGED
WITH ISSUING THE LIVES AND
OVERSEEING THESE THIS INDUSTRY.
THIS IS NOT MEANT AS A CRITICISM
IT'S JUST SOME OF STATEMENT OF
FACT.
IT'S A NEW INDUSTRY -- THE
RESOURCES AREN'T AVAILABLE YET
TO THE AGENCIES HOWEVER -- WE
BELIEVE THAT THIS IS SORT OF A
PRIVATE PUBLIC PARTNERSHIP WHERE
THAT IF THE INFORMATION IS
POSTED ONLINE IN REAL TIME -- WE
CAN WE CAN ASSIST IN AND FLAG.
CONCERNS FLAG ISSUES -- WE'RE
ALSO THE OTHER CHALLENGE OVER WE
HAVE WE HAVE FACED IS TO THE
PUBLIC RECORDS ACT REQUEST.
RECEIVING DIFFERENT INFORMATION.
FOR THE SAME REQUEST EVEN FROM
THE SAME AGENCY SO WE WOULD YOU
WANT TO GET SOME KIND OF
CONSISTENCY FOR THE
INFORMATION'S COMING I WANT TO
BE IN REAL TIME AND WANT TO BE
ABLE TO ASSIST AGENCIES.
IN VETTING THESE APPLICANTS ALL
WEIRD AS THE AUTHOR IS COMING

AND CALIFORNIA'S LEGALIZED AND
GROWING CANNABIS INDUSTRY
SPECIFICALLY SB FIVE NINE FIVE
WILL HELP ACHIEVE THE GOAL OF
CREATING EQUITABLE INDUSTRY.
BY REQUIRING THE STATE LICENSING
AUTHORITY TO DEVELOP AND
IMPLEMENT A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE
FEE TO FOR ALL AND WAIVERS OF
FEES TO OBTAIN A RENEW A STATE
LICENSE FOR LOCAL.
EQUITY APPLICANTS AND I
LICENSEES CITIES SUCH AS OAKLAND
SAN FRANCISCO LA -- SO SAN DIEGO
AND NOW ALL LONG BEACH.
HAVE DEVELOPED -- EQUITY
PROGRAMS AND AND AS I SAID LONG
BEACH.
NOW WHICH FOCUS ON INCLUSION IN
SUPPORT OF OUR APPLICATIONS THAT
HAVE BEEN MOST COMMUNITIES I
SHOULD SAY THAT HAVE BEEN MOST
HARMED BY THE DECADES WAR ON

BUSINESS OPERATORS FROM.
MINORITY COMMUNITIES NCBA
STRONGLY SUPPORTS SB -- FIVE
NINETY FIVE OUR NATIONS ARE
INDUSTRIES MINORITY
ENTREPRENEURS CONTINUE TO
COMPETE ON A VERY UNLEVEL
PLAYING FIELD.
THE HIGH COST OF STATE LICENSING
AND RENEWAL FEES CREATE AN
ADDITIONAL IMPEDIMENT THAT
THREATENS TO PREVENT MOST
MINORITY CAMPUS BUSINESSES FROM
GETTING BEYOND.
A BUSINESS PLAN AND LAUNCHING
LAWFUL OPERATIONS THAT CAN
COMPETE ON A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
WITH OTHER CANDIDATES BUSINESSES.
WHILE THESE FEES ARE TEAR THEY
ARE COLLECTED FROM PRE REVENUE
BUSINESS IS BASED ON EXPECTED
REVENUE USING IT QUICKLY CLIMB
INTO THE TENS AND EVEN HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. FOR
THESE REASONS NCBA FEELS THAT
MANDATING STATE LICENSING
AGENCIES TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT
APPLICATION LICENSE FEE WAIVERS
AND DEFERRALS FOR QUALIFIED
APPLICANTS AND LICENSEES UNDER.

NECESSARY AND WARRANTED -- SO I
ON BEHALF OF NCBA WE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA TODAY I COME
IN STRONG SUPPORT OF SB FIVE
NINETY FIVE WHICH WOULD.
A FURTHER THE STATE'S GOAL OF
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE AN
EQUITABLE CANNABIS INDUSTRY HERE
IN CALIFORNIA.
IT'S ACTUALLY QUITE UNBELIEVABLE
HOW WE GOT HERE -- QUITE AWHILE
AGO CANNABIS WAS ILLEGAL IN THE
STATE AND MANY BLACK AND LATINO
PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED CONVICTED
AND INCARCERATED A FOR CANDACE
Là VIOLATIONS I FAST FORWARD TO
TODAY AND WE HAVE THE PASSAGE OF
PROP SIXTY FOUR IN THE CREATION
OF A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR
INDUSTRY.
UNFORTUNATELY SO MANY BLACK AND
LATINO PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CUT OUT
OF THIS INDUSTRY LARGELY BECAUSE
CAPITAL JUST DOES NOT EXIST --
WE KNOW FROM A REPORT BY THE
MIND OR AT BY THE MEN OF
MARIJUANA DAILY -- MARIJUANA
BUSINESS DAILY I THAT FEWER THAN
20% OF PEOPLE IN THE INDUSTRY
ARE BLACK OR LATINO AND THIS IS
A SHAME THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
WE CAN CERTAINLY DO SOMETHING
ABOUT WE KNOW THAT THE PASSAGE
OF SB FIVE NINETY FIVE WOULD
FURTHER THE PURPOSE IS AN
ATTENTIVE PROP.

FILE ITEM NUMBER ONE SB ONE
FORTY TWO BY SENATOR WIENER
[inaudible]
SENATOR WELCOME.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN IT'S
COULD BE BACK.
SO OUR FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO
THANK THE CHAIRMAN IN THE KEY
STEP FOR WORKING WITH US ON THE
BILL WERE HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES PROPOSED AMENDMENTS.
ARE COLLEAGUES -- SB -- ONE
FORTY TWO WILL ENSURE THAT --
NEW MOTHERS ARE ABLE TO POST
RETURN TO WORK AND CONTINUE --
TO BREAST FEED ARE RIGHT NOW FAR
TOO MANY WOMEN -- PARTICULARLY --
OF NEW MOTHERS WHO ARE -- LOWER
INCOME -- AND DO NOT HAVE SORT
OF FANCY JOBS WITH PRIVATE
OFFICES ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE DO
I RETURN TO WORK.
AND STOP BREAST FEEDING MY CHILD.
WHERE DO I CONTINUE TO BREAST
FEED MY CHILD AND DELAY
RETURNING TO WORK -- EITHER ONE
IS UNTENABLE WHETHER TALKING
ABOUT THE ECONOMIC CIRCUMSTANCES
ABOUT FAMILY -- OR THE HEALTH OF
THE CHILD.
AND THIS IS A FALSE CHOICE SO
WHAT THE BILL DOES IS IT.
PROVIDES SOME VERY BASIC AND
STRAIGHTFORWARD REQUIREMENTS --
TO ENSURE THAT WOMEN ARE ABLE TO
EXPRESS MILK AT WORK -- THAT
THEY DON'T HAVE TO DO IN A
RESTROOM WHICH IS EXISTING LAW.
BY EVEN IF WE'RE NOT REQUIRING
THEM TO IN A RESTROOM SHOULD
NEVER HAVE TO DO -- WE ALSO
DON'T WANT -- WOMEN TO HAVE TO
GO AND EXPRESS GOLD IN A BROOM
CLOSET FOR EXAMPLE SO THE THE
BILL REQUIRES THAT THE EMPLOYER
PROVIDE A PRIVATE SPACE.
WE CAN BE A ROOM FOR EMPLOYERS
WERE ROOM DOESN'T WORK EITHER IS
NO ROOM YOU CAN HAVE A TEMPORARY
STRUCTURE IT'S VERY FLEXIBLE AND
HOW THAT IS LAID OUT.
WITH A TABLE WITH A CHAIR --
WITH AN OUTLET -- AND WITH
NEARBY ACCESS TO REFRIGERATION
AND RUNNING WATER -- THIS IS NOT
AN EXTREME -- REQUIREMENT -- I
THINK IT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO --
TO PEOPLE WHO ARE -- BRINGING
FORTH THE NEXT GENERATION OF
HUMANKIND -- TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY CAN -- BOTH WORK AND BREAST
FEED.
NOW WE KNOW THAT BREAST FEEDING
HAVE SIGNIFICANT HEALTH BENEFITS --
FOR FOR BABIES -- AND WE ALSO
KNOW THAT WHEN WE MAKE IT HARD
FOR WOMEN TO RETURN TO WORK
AFTER GIVING BIRTH -- DIED IT
SETS THEM BACK ON WE LOOK AT
DISPARITIES IN PAY AND ALL THE
INEQUITIES GENDER INEQUITIES IN
THE WORKPLACE.
PART OF THAT IS THAT WE MAKE IT
HARD FOR WOMEN.
AND MOTHERS TO RETURN TO WORK
AND IT HAS A PERMANENT IMPACT
AND SO THIS WILL HELP TO REDUCE
THOSE DISPARITIES -- SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AIBO --
AND WITH ME TODAY WE HAVE A
SERAPH ISTER -- MOTHER FROM MILL
VALLEY WHO -- WILL SHARE HER
PERSONAL STORY ROBBIE GONZALEZ I
DOUBT FROM THE CONTINENT
CALIFORNIA BREASTFEEDING

ACTING.
WOMEN IN EATING LIKE THIESSEN AT
WORK. FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS
AFTER OF THIS BETH WAS BORN AND
RETURN TO WORK MY EMPLOYER HAD.
A DESIGNATED ROOM WHICH I
THOUGHT WAS A SIGN THAT THEY
WOULD PROVIDE ADVOCATES SUPPORT
TO NURSING MOMS.
UNFORTUNATELY.
THIS SPACES AND CONVENIENT IT
WAS A FOUR MINUTE WALK FROM MY
WORKS WORK SPACE WHICH I HAD TO
DO THREE TIMES A DAY WHICH WAS
LIKE A TOTAL OF TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE MINUTES.
WHICH I COULD HAVE SPENT%
DEDICATED TO WORKING WHICH I
WASN'T ABLE TO SEE YOU.
AND MANY TIMES WHEN I WALKED
THERE TO USE IT WAS OCCUPIED.
AND I HAD TO WAIT.
IN THE FIRST TIME I WANT TO USE
IT WITH HIM AND CLEAN.
THEY WERE DEAD ANTS EVERYWHERE
IN THE TRAPS AND THERE'S TRASH
IN THE ROOM.
NO TRASH RECEPTACLES IT'S TRASH
ON FOR I WAS PANICKED BECAUSE MY
HUSBAND AND I BOTH ONE AND FOR
ME TO CONTINUE BREASTFEEDING --
SPIT AFTER I RETURNED TO WORK.
IT'S WHAT OUR PEDIATRICIAN
RECOMMENDED IT AND IT WAS THE
BEST AND HEALTHIEST OPTION. FOR
HER AND WOULD GIVE HER THE BEST
START IN HER LIFE AND THE
BRIGHTEST FUTURE.
DESPITE MY EFFORTS WITH
EDUCATING MY EMPLOYER AND
LACTATION ACCOMMODATION BEST
PRACTICES.
AND WITHOUT HAVING HELP FROM A
THIRD PARTY OR ANY SPECIFIC LAWS
MARK QUEST FOR BETTER SUPPORT
WHAT'S NEXT.
ALMOST EVERY DAY I HAD TO WAIT.
TO SOMETIMES SORTS THAT I COULD
MAKE MY NEXT MEETING. THREE SIX
SHORT WEEKS OF BEING BACK MY
MILK SUPPLY WAS DIMINISHED IT
WAS GONE.
IT WAS DEVASTATING WATCHING MY
SUPPLY DECREASE WEEK AFTER WEEK
WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT.
I FELT LIKE MY RIGHT TO BREAST
FEED WAS BEING DENIED AND THAT
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO
ABOUT IT.
AND WHEN MY SUPPLY FIRST BEGAN
TO DECLINE I THOUGHT ABOUT
QUITTING MY JOB.
I FELT LIKE I HAD TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN MY JOB AND BREAST
FEEDING MY DAUGHTER.
I MADE A PROMISE TO MY
DAUGHTER'S WHICH IS WHY I AM
HERE TODAY TO ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT ON SB.
ONE FOUR TWO SO THAT WHEN

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
THAT HAVE BECOME AFTER THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
AND WE'RE RESPECTFULLY POSTED
THIS BILL -- WE SUPPORT
LACTATION ACCOMMODATION IN THE
OVERALL GOALS BUT WE DO HAVE
SOME SPECIFIC CONCERNS WITH THIS
BILL.
WE WORKED WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER
LIMóN LAST YEAR ON HER AB
NINETEEN SEVENTY SIX WHICH IS
SIGNED INTO LAW.
I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY BECAUSE
I THINK THE AUTHOR SAID CURRENT
LAWS A RESTROOM.
IN THE LAW LAST YEAR SAID THE
LACTATION SPACE HAS TO BE OTHER
THAN A BATHROOM SO IT'S NOT
ALLOWED TO BE THE RESTROOM -- WE
TESTIFIED IN LABOR COMMITTEE
LAST WEEK ABOUT SOME OF OUR
CONCERNS WITH THE PROVISIONS OF
THE BILL LOCATED IN THE LABOR
CODE AND THE DUPLICATION.
AND POTENTIAL LITIGATION THAT
THOSE -- PROVISIONS COULD CREATE --
ALL LIMIT MY TESTIMONY TODAY TO
THE BUILDING STANDARDS
REQUIREMENTS -- WE ARE CONCERNED
THAT THE NEW BUILDING STANDARDS
REQUIREMENTS BASED ON THE
EXPERIENCE OF THE SAN FRANCISCO
ORDINANCE WOULD RESULT IN
BETWEEN THIRTY AND A HUNDRED AND
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN COSTS
TO BUSINESSES.
AND WHILE THE BILL ELIMINATED
THE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS IT
SAYS THAT THE SAN FRANCISCO
ORDINANCE IS THE STARTING POINT
AND SO WE THINK THAT'S
ESSENTIALLY THE SAME.
I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT
GOVERNOR BROWN VETOED A SIMILAR
BILL LAST YEAR SB NINE THIRTY
SEVEN NOT BILL DID NOT CONTAIN
THE BUILDING STANDARDS
REQUIREMENTS.
WE'VE ALSO DOES -- PROVISION BE
DELETED FROM THIS BILL BUT FOR
THOSE REASONS WERE POST THANK
YOU.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS MATTHEW
HARD WITH THE CALIFORNIA
BUSINESS PROPERTIES ASSOCIATION
WE HAVE A VERY TECHNICAL ISSUE
WITH THIS BILL AND THAT IS THE
BUILDING CODE REQUIREMENT.
YOU HEARD TESTIMONY TODAY FROM
THE AUTHOR AND FROM THE SPONSORS
THAT THIS BILL ONLY REQUIRES A
TABLE A CHAIR -- A POLICY AND A
PLACE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN NONE OF
THOSE ARE BUILDING CODES.
THERE IS NOTHING FOR THE
BUILDING CODE TO HAPPEN HERE --
WE SUPPORTED THE LACTATION
POLICY IN SAN FRANCISCO WE
HELPED WRITE THAT.
ARE BONUS SAN FRANCISCO GROUP
THERE'S NO BUILDING CODES AND
THAT.
ALL OF THAT IS DEALT WITH IN
SECTION THREE OF THIS BILL IT'S
ALL IN EMPLOYER ACCOMMODATION
IT'S ALL A SERVICE PROVIDED TO
AN EMPLOYER.
THERE'S NO ACTUAL BUILDING CODE
SECTION TO THIS THAT NEEDS TO BE
IN THERE AT A MINIMUM WE WOULD
JUST ASK THAT YOU LOOK AT
SECTION ONE OF THE BILL.
AND JUST CHANGE THE SHALL IN
THAT SECTION TO A MAY AND THAT
WOULD RESULT FOR ISSUES ON THE
BUILDING CODE.
AT WE WE DO WANT TO CALLS
AUTHORS BEEN VERY VERY --
FORTHCOMING WITH US AND HAS
ACTUALLY ADDRESS MANY OF OUR
BUILDING CODE ISSUE SO WE DO
APPRECIATE THAT BUT THAT ONE
LITTLE CHANGE IN SECTION -- ONE
WOULD WOULD RESOLVE OUR ISSUES
BECAUSE THERE'S NO ACTUAL
BUILDING CODES THAT NEED TO BE
WRITTEN TO PROVIDE SOMEONE A
TABLE A CHAIR AND A PRIVATE
CLEAN ROOM THOSE ARE BUILDING
CODES BUILDING BECAUSE A VERY
TECHNICAL.
THANK YOU -- MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS NICOLE RICE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION WE HAVE ONE ISSUE
RELATED TO MANUFACTURING AND
THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE HARDSHIP
EXEMPTION.
SO WE WERE PART OF THE GROUP WHO
NEGOTIATED THE LANGUAGE THAT
EXISTS TO CURRENTLY IN LAW IN
LABOR CO TEN THIRTY ONE RELATED
TO THE HARDSHIP EXEMPTION TO
GIVE FLEXIBILITY TO
MANUFACTURERS.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT THE
INDICATOR FOR WHETHER OR NOT YOU
HAVE A HARDSHIP IS AND HOW MANY
EMPLOYEES THAT YOU HAVE IS
ACTUALLY RELATED TO THE
CONSTRAINTS OF YOUR WORKPLACE.
SO IF YOU HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL
FACILITY MANY OF THESE ARE OPEN
CONCEPT WORK ENVIRONMENTS THE
ONLY PLACE THAT HAS AN ENCLOSED
PLACE THAT WILL PROVIDE THIS IS
THE SAFETY THE PRIVACY -- AND
THE LIMITATION TO EXPOSURE TO
FRANKLY THE BY PRODUCT OF THE
MANUFACTURING PROCESS IS IN
UNFORTUNATELY THE RESTROOM BUT
THAT IS THE CONSTRAINTS OF THE
FACILITY SO WE DON'T FEEL BAD
WHETHER IT'S FIFTY PEOPLE OR
FIFTY TWO EMPLOYEES THAT ARE AT
THAT FACILITY.
MAN FACTORS NEED FLEXIBILITY SO
THAT THEY CAN COMPLY WITH THIS
LAW WHEN THEY HAVE NO ABILITY TO
HAVE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE AND
CAN'T PLACE A TEMPORARY
STRUCTURE THERE EITHER BECAUSE
TO DO SO WHEN YOU HAVE.
STATIONARY OR MOBILE INDUSTRIAL
EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT THAT OPEN
SPACE CONTACT.
ALL UP AND OPEN SPACE A WORK
ENVIRONMENT JUST ISN'T FEASIBLE
FOR THOSE REASONS AS WELL AS THE
REASON STATED PREVIOUSLY WE ARE
OPPOSED TO THE BILL -- AND JUST
ONE LAST THING MISTER TRY JUST
WANNA KNOWLEDGE THAT WE HAVE HAD
MEETINGS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE AUTHOR SO WE APPRECIATE THAT
BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE STILL
OPPOSE THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ANY ADDITIONAL MEMBERS OF
THE PUBLIC WISHING TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE NOW BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS WILL BEGIN WITH.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF GRAYSON.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
CENTERS WIENER THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR YOUR GOOD WORK THAT YOU DO
AND I JUST WANT TO STATE.
RIGHT FROM THE ONSET THAT I AM
ABSOLUTELY 1100% WITHOUT A
SHADOW OF A DOUBT UNEQUIVOCALLY
SUPPORTIVE OF LACTATION -- THE
THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE A SPACE --
FOR LACTATION ACCOMMODATION --
THE TWO CONCERNS WERE BROUGHT UP
BY OPPOSITION I WOULD REALLY
LIKE TO HEAR YOUR RESPONSE ON AS
FAR AS IS THERE A PARTICULAR
REASON WHY IT IS THE NUMBER OF
EMPLOYEES FORCES -- THE FACILITY
ITSELF OR COULD IT BE BOTH OR
DOES IT HAVE TO BE ONE OF THE
OTHER.
THAT'S THE FIRST QUESTION
[inaudible]
ON MONDAY -- SO WHAT WE PUT INTO
THE BILL OF EXEMPTION THAT WE'RE
IF THIS IS THE FEDERAL --
STANDARD FOR EXAMPLE SO WE CAN.
SORT OF CREATE THIS ON OUR OWN
REGARDING WHAT THE FEDERAL
STANDARD -- SO IT'S YOU CAN
CLAIM A HARDSHIP EXEMPTION IF
YOU'RE FEWER THAN FIFTY
EMPLOYEES IN WHICH WE ASK YOU
HAVE A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT
MANY BILLS IN THIS BUILDING BUT
THE NEEDS OF SMALL -- SMALLER
BUSINESSES AND SO THAT'S WHY THE
THAT'S WHAT THE HARDSHIP
EXEMPTION AS FOR THAT THE FEWER
THAN.
FIFTY EMPLOYEES -- I UNDERSTAND
WORK WILL OF COURSE CONTINUE TO
TALK TO THE MANUFACTURERS BUT IF
YOU ARE A LARGE BUSINESS WITH
YOU KNOW.
LARGE NUMBER EMPLOYEES YOU.
YOU HAVE I THINK THE ABILITY TO
FIND.
OR CREATE A SPACE SO THAT WOMEN
CAN EXPRESS MILK WITHOUT HAVING
TO SIT ON THE TOILET. TO DO IT.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT SO --
YOU KNOW.
THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT
THAT ARGUMENT IS ABOUT AND WE SO
WE THINK THAT THE FIFTY EMPLOYEE
THRESHOLD.
IS THE RIGHT ONE I LIKE IT'S A
WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE IN
DIALOGUE -- SAY OVER THE LAST
EIGHTEEN MONTHS BECAUSE THIS IS
OUR SECOND.
ARE RUN -- AT THE BILL WE HAVE
MADE -- HUGE NUMBER OF
AMENDMENTS IN RESPONSE TO THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY HEARD ABOUT
SOME OF THEM TODAY RIGHT -- WE
MAY MEMBERS LAST YEAR WHICH WE
KEPT IN THE BILL --
OVERWHELMINGLY THIS YEAR
REMEMBER THIS YEAR WILL CONTINUE
TO TALK TO THEM.
AND THEN THE SECOND QUESTION I
APPRECIATE THAT RESPONSE AND I I
WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THAT THERE
CAN BE SOME SPACE MADE I JUST
WANTED HERE SPONSORED.
THE THE OTHER -- ONE DOES COME
FROM SOMEONE WHO IS A GENERAL
CONTRACTOR TO BUILDERS AND IF IT
DOES GET REALLY INTO A VERY
TECHNICAL AREA -- WHEN YOU START
TALKING ABOUT CHANGING BUILDING
CODES AND I LOOKED THROUGH THE
PROVISIONS OF YOUR BILL AND AS I
DID?
I MYSELF WAS REALLY STRETCH TO
FIND AREAS THAT INVOLVED --
BUILDING CODES THAT MOST
EVERYTHING THAT IS LISTED IN THE
BILL CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED VIA THE
LABOR CODE SO THIS IS A QUESTION
I'M TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR
BILL TODAY.%
THE CELL AND THAT'S NOT A
QUESTION I JUST IS THERE A
PARTICULAR REASON WHY YOU FEEL
IMPRESSED TO GO VERY VERY
TECHNICAL AND TOUCH SOMETHING IN
THE BUILDING CODE WHEN REALLY
ALL THAT YOU'RE WANTING TO DO
CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED VIA THE
LABOR AGO.
SURE AND I APPRECIATE AND WE'D
AND AS MR HARGROVE AND I THANK
HIM FOR KNOWLEDGE IN THAT WE
CHANGED IT TO INSTEAD OF THE
BILL TRYING TO DICTATE WHAT THE
BUILDING CODE WOULD BE.
JUST ASKING THE THE BUILDING
STANDARDS COMMISSION TO COME UP
WITH THAT -- THE RIGHT -- CODE
AND I YOU KNOW I THINK YOU SORT
OF WHAT ONE OF THE OBJECTIONS TO
THIS BILL IS WE HAVE OUR
PHYSICAL SPACE IT IS WHAT IT IS.
AND IT'S GOING TO BE CHALLENGING
FOR US TO CHANGE IT.
RIGHT BECAUSE WE HAVE ERROR FOR
BUILDINGS THAT HAVE EXISTING
SPACE AND YOUR AND AND THAT'S
WHY WE MADE THE BILL FOR THOSE
EXISTING SPACE IS VERY FLEXIBLE --
IN TERMS OF IT DOESN'T HAVE TO
EVEN BE ITS OWN ROOM IT CAN BE A
TEMPORARY -- KIND OF SHIELD --
BUT IF YOU'RE BUILDING A NEW
BUILDING WHAT I DON'T WANT TO
HAVE IS AND THOSE EMPLOYERS COME
BACK AS A WE BUILT IT BUT
THERE'S NO BUT WE DIDN'T THERE'S
NO SPACE IN HERE FOR ANYONE TO
BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MILK SO.
SORRY AND WE'RE GOING TO CLAIM A
HARDSHIP OR WHATEVER AND SO WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS
NOT THIS I DON'T ENVISION THIS
IS BEING SOME SORT OF HYPER
COMPLEX TECHNICAL -- BUILDING
CODE PROVISION THIS IS ABOUT
JUST MAKING SURE THAT AYE AYES
ARE BUILDING THESE NEW
COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS.
THAT THERE IS THOUGHT GIVEN TO
WEAR OUR NEW MOTHERS GOING TO
EXPRESS MAIL AND AND AND SO I
THINK IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY
SIMPLE -- BUT IT'S TRYING TO
AVOID WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM
SOME KERN EMPLOYERS LIKE
MANUFACTURERS SAYING WELL WE
DON'T HAVE THAT'S BEING SOMEONE
THAT'S IN DETERMINING
INSPECTIONS AND PULL OUT PERMITS
TO DO REMODELS AND DIFFERENT
THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND BRINGING THINGS UP TO A
CURRENT CODE IN A BUILDING THAT
IS AGE.
I I SHARE YOUR SENTIMENTS THAT I
HOPE THE COMMISSION FINDS IT TO
BE AS SIMPLE AS YOU'RE
EXPRESSING -- MY DOUBTS OF THEIR
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
