SOME HOUSEKEEPING THINGS.
MISTER SMITH I'D LIKE TO
WELCOME TO OUR COMMITTEE WHO IS
HERE IN PLACE OF MR GALLAGHER
THAT IS THE ONE CHANGE THE- WE
ARE HAVING TODAY. AND SO
PROCEDURALLY THOUGH I WOULD

MAINTAINING DISTANCING WE DO

THIRTY ASSEMBLY MEMBER ARAMBULA.
WELCOME. THANK YOU MISTER.
BEFORE I START MY PRESENTATION
I'D LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIRMAN
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH ME ON THIS BILL AND I'D
LIKE TO ACCEPT THE AMENDMENTS
PROPOSED WITHIN THE COMMITTEE
REPORT THANK YOU. AB FOURTEEN
THIRTY WILL HELP CALIFORNIA
CONSUMER SAFEGUARD OPIOID
MEDICATIONS AND REDUCE THE ACT
OF PILFERING A POWERFUL ON RAMP
TO THE NATION'S CURRENT OPIOID
ADDICTION CRISIS THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE PHARMACISTS TO
PROVIDE SCHEDULED TO END TO END
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS SUCH AS
MORPHINE OXYCODONE AND RITALIN
IN A LOCKABLE CONTAINER.
OFFERING THE ACT OF SNEAKING A
SMALL NUMBER OF PILLS HOPING IT
WILL GO UNDETECTED IS THE
LEADING SOURCE OF YOUTH OPIOID
ABUSE. STUDIES SHOW THAT EACH
YEAR NEARLY SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND CHILDREN FROM ACROSS
THE COUNTRY BETWEEN THE AGES OF
TWELVE AND SEVENTEEN INITIATE
PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE BY
PILFERING MEDICATION FROM AN
ADULT IN THEIR HOME. THE OUT
DATED CHILD RESISTANT
PRESCRIPTION VIALS CURRENTLY IN
USE HAVE NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN
NEARLY FIFTY YEARS. WHEN THE
FEDERAL POISON PREVENTION
PACKAGING ACT WHICH WAS ENACTED
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY THE GOAL
WAS TO PREVENT CHILDREN UNDER
THE AGE OF FIVE FROM GAINING
ACCESS TO ASPEN. TODAY THOSE
SAME CHILD LOCKS ARE USED TO
PROTECT MEDICATIONS RANGING
FROM COUGH MEDICINE TO
PRESCRIPTION PAIN MANAGEMENT
MEDICATIONS THAT ARE EIGHTY
TIMES STRONGER THAN MORPHINE.
WE PUBLIC HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE CALLED FOR IMPROVED
PACKAGING OF OPIOIDS AND OTHER
ADDICTIVE MEDICATIONS FOR
SEVERAL YEARS. REQUIRING
LOCKING PRESCRIPTION VIALS FOR
POWERFUL NARCOTICS IS A LOW
COST WAY FOR CALIFORNIA TO
MODERNIZE THE ANTIQUATED
FEDERAL LAWS THAT ARE PARTIALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING THE
NATIONWIDE EPIDEMIC. WITH ME
TODAY ARE MARK BURKE GAS WITH
AND BE ADVOCACY AND SHERRY
DAILY WITH THE CALIFORNIA
CONSORTIUM OF ADDICTION
PROGRAMS AND PROFESSIONALS.
THANK YOU SO I DO HAVE TO
SUPPORT WITNESSES BOTH-
INDICATED TO BE ON THE
TELEPHONE SHERRY DAILY FROM THE
CALIFORNIA CONSORTIUM OF
ADDICTION PROGRAMS AND
PROFESSIONALS. AND MARK FORGET
FROM M. B. ADVOCACY. IS DALY OR
MR BIRKHEAD ARE YOU ON THE LINE.
THIS IS MARK GO AHEAD SIR. BUT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS ACCORDING TO RECENT
STUDIES MOST THE RECENT STUDIES
FROM THE- PEDIATRICS JOURNAL-
ABOUT SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
ADOLESCENTS BEGIN ABUSING.
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS EVERY
YEAR THAT COMES OUT YOU KNOW
WHAT NEW NEW ADOLESCENT EVERY
MINUTE TWENTY FOUR HOURS A DAY.
EIGHTY FOURTEEN THIRTY CAN
PARTIALLY ELIMINATE- THIS
EXPERIMENTATION BY ELIMINATING
PILFERING WHICH IS AT THE
AUTHOR INDICATED TAKING JUST A
FEW PILLS AT A TIME. THIS BILL
HAS THREE MAIN POINTS NUMBER
ONE IT ALERT THE PATIENT. THAT
THE MEDICATION THEY'RE
RECEIVING IS A SERIOUS
MEDICATION- THAT NEEDS TO BE
TREATED APPROPRIATELY. NUMBER
EXACTLY THE DISINCENTIVES. TO
PILFERED THAT MEDICATION- AND
NUMBER THREE IF QUICKLY ALERTS
WHOEVER IS. HOLDING THE
PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION THAT
THEIR MEDICATIONS HAVE BEEN
TAMPERED WITH AND AS WE KNOW
FROM HISTORY THE EARLIER WE CAN
IDENTIFY THAT SOMEONE IS
BEGINNING TO ABUSE- A
MEDICATION OR DRUGS THE BETTER
THEIR CHANCES OF HAVING A LONG
TERM. POSITIVE OUTCOMES- THESE
NUMBERS ARE ALL PRE PANDEMIC
NUMBERS AND WHAT WE HAVE SEEN
FOR EVERY STUDY THAT'S BEEN OUT
THERE RECENTLY AT THAT THESE.
THE USES AND ABUSES OF THIS
MEDICATION HAS INCREASED
GEOMETRICALLY DURING THE
PANDEMIC AND KIDS ARE AT HOME
AND LOOKING FOR SOMETHING
ADDITIONAL TO DO. AS THE AUTHOR
INDICATES THE LOCKABLE FILES
HAVE NOT BEEN. UPDATED SINCE
NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE. AND THIS
IS SIMPLY THE NEXT STEP. IN
INCREASING AT THE PROTECTION OF
THE USE OF THESE MEDICATIONS.
R. COSTA- FACTOR IS VERY SMALL-
WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT A
TYPICAL OPIOID- ONE IN
PARTICULAR CALLED NORCO A ONE
MONTH SUPPLY WILL RUN YOU
ANYWHERE FROM SIX HUNDRED EIGHT
DOLLARS THE SIXTEEN HUNDRED
DOLLARS THE CURRENT CHILD
RESISTANT CAPS COST ABOUT
TWENTY CENTS A PIECE. WE
ANTICIPATE THAT WITH THE
PASSAGE OF THIS LEGISLATION BE
WALKABLE FILED- COST TO PRODUCE
THEM WILL BE ABOUT THIRTY FIVE.
CENTS A PIECE SO IT'S A VERY
SMALL ADDITION TO THE COST IN
ADDITION AT THE PHARMACIST WILL
BE COMPENSATED FOR THE FULL
COST. OF THE FILE. AS WELL AS
ANY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH
ADDITIONAL TIME. HM
CONSULTATIONS AND DISPENSING
FEE. THIS WILL HAPPEN ON A
MONTHLY BASIS- IN IT WILL. THIS
BILL WILL NOT ONLY SAVE LIVES-
BUT IT WILL FULLY COMPENSATE
THE PHARMACIST AND THE
RETAILERS OR BOTH THE PRODUCT
THAT THEY APPLY AS WELL AS THE
TIME THAT THEY SPEND WE FEEL
THAT WE CAN SAVE MANY LIVES.
EIGHT THE DEATH CAMP COSTS IN
HEALTHCARE ALL WITH THIS VERY
COMMON SENSE APPROACH- AND WE
WOULD ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THE DAILY
ALIVE. YES I AM THANK YOU GOOD
MORNING AUDIBLE CHAIR MEMBERS
JERRY DEALING WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CONSORTIUM OF

THIRTY BOTH THAT EXPERT IN A
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER
TREATMENT FIELD AND PERSONALLY
AS A PARENT. FROM A POLITICAL
STANDPOINT BLOCKING PILL WHILE
TURNING EXPENSIVE AND VERY
EFFECTIVE PREVENTION MEASURE
CONCERNING YOUNG ADULTS AND
ADOLESCENTS THIS AGE GROUP IS
MATURE ENOUGH TO CALCULATED
RISK REWARD POSSIBILITIES FOR
THEIR ACTIONS STEALING TWO OR
THREE PILLS FROM A CONTAINER
REPAIR YES TIME IS FAR LESS
LIKELY TO BE DETECTED THAN AN
ENTIRE CONTAINER OF MEDICATION
SUDDENLY GOING MISSING
THEREFORE EXPERIMENTINGWITH
PHARMACEUTICALS FROM HOME
MEDICINE CABINET HAS VERY
LITTLE CONSEQUENCE FROM A
PARENTAL PUNISHMENT
PERSPECTIVE. BUT FROM A LIFE
AND DEATH STANDPOINT
CONSEQUENCES FROM THIS BEHAVIOR
CAN LITERALLY BE DEADLY

THANK YOU ALL THERE WE NOW MOVE
TO OUR ITEM NUMBER TWO WHICH IS
AB TWELVE EIGHTY SEVEN AS FAR
CARE. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS FIRST I WANT TO THANK
THE CHAIR AND THE STAFF FOR
THEIR HARD WORK ON THE BILL AND
I WANT TO ACCEPT THE PROPOSED
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS TO THE
BILL THANK YOU TODAY I'M HERE
TO PRESENT AB TWELVE EIGHTY
SEVEN WHICH PROHIBITS
DIFFERENTIAL PRICING ON THE
BASIS OF GENDER OTHERWISE KNOWN
AS THE PINK TAX. WOMEN PAY MORE
ON AVERAGE FOR IDENTICAL
PRODUCTS THAT ARE SIMPLY A
DIFFERENT COLOR A PHENOMENA
KNOWN AS THE PINK TAX THIS
MEANS THE PRICE FOR BEING A
WOMAN. MULTIPLE STUDIES HAVE
SHOWN THAT WOMEN ON AVERAGE
PAY. 7% MORE FOR GENDERED ITEMS
LIKE TOILETRIES AND CLOTHING.
THEY ALSO FACE HIGHER PRICES
FOR SEEMINGLY NEUTRAL PRODUCTS
LIKE MORTGAGE RATES. THESE
PRICE DIFFERENCES ATA THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE STUDY
ESTIMATED THE YEAR AFTER YEAR.
A TYPICAL CALIFORNIA WOMAN PAYS
ABOUT TWO THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED EIGHTY ONE DOLLARS
MORE. FOR THE SAME GOODS AND
SERVICES THAN HER MALE
COUNTERPART. THIS ARBITRARILY
PENALIZES WOMEN AFTER FORTY
SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
WOMEN HAVE BEEN HIT HARD IN
THIS PANDEMIC. ECONOMIC
INEQUITIES BETWEEN WOMEN AND
MEN HAVE INCREASED. ON THAT JOB
LOSSES HAVE BEEN FROM WOMEN AND
SPECIFICALLY WOMEN OF COLOR.
THESE IMPACTS THREATEN THE WELL
BEING OF FAMILIES IN TWENTY
SEVENTEEN. 41% OF MOTHERS WERE
THE PRIMARY BREADWINNERS FOR
THEIR FAMILIES. PRIMARY
BREADWINNERS WHO STILL MAKE 70%
OR LESS THAN THEIR MALE
COLLEAGUES. THE PINK TAX
AUGMENTS AND REINFORCES THESE
INEQUITIES WOMEN ALREADY
UNDERPAID- EXPECTED TO MAKE PAY
MORE FOR BASIC NECESSITIES.
THIS BILL STRIKES THE BALANCE
WE WORKED HARD TO CRAFT THE
BILL WITH PROPONENTS AND
OPPONENTS OF PREVIOUS
ITERATIONS OF THIS LEGISLATION.
AND I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT THE
CHAMBERS NEUTRAL ON THE BILL.
AND WE PROTECTED SMALL
BUSINESSES. FROM BURDENSOME
LITIGATION WHILE ALSO HOLDING
RETAILERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE
SYSTEMIC GENDER IMBALANCE IN
PRICING. PAYING HIGHER PRICES
BECAUSE OF YOUR GENDER IS
SIMPLY UNJUST. IT HURTS WOMEN
IN A MARKET AT A TIME WHEN THEY
ARE DEEPLY VULNERABLE. WITH ME
TODAY IN SUPPORT IS TIFFANY
BOYD LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR FOR
THE COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF
WOMEN AND GIRLS. AND JESSICA
STENDER SENIOR COUNSEL AT EQUAL
RIGHTS ADVOCATES. THANK YOU I

DESPERATE FINANCIAL IMPACT OVER
THE COURSE OF A WOMAN'S LIFE
HAVE BEEN SUBSTANTIAL ONGOING
GAP IN PRICES FOR SIMILAR DATES
HAVE COST THE- AVERAGE
CALIFORNIA WOMAN OF PAYING TAX
OF APPROXIMATELY. A HUNDRED
EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND OVER THE
COURSE OF HER LIFE IN AN
AGGREGATE PENALIZES WOMEN
ACROSS CALIFORNIA TO THE TUNE
OF FORTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
EACH YEAR WE KNOW THAT WOMEN
AND GIRLS IN HERE FACE. ANY
QUALITY IN MANY ASPECTS OF
THEIR DAILY LIFE NUMBER WOULD
HAVE BEEN WORKING BY THE KOBE
NINETEEN PANDEMIC WOMEN ARE
ALREADY PAID LESS THAN MEN AND
WITH THE PINK TAX THEY'RE
CHARGED MORE ON TOP OF THAT OUR
GREAT EIGHTY EIGHT THAT. FOR
EVERY DOLLAR A MAN EARNS THAT
AND- THOSE EARNING FALL TO
FORTY PORTIONS WERE BROKEN DOWN
BY RACE WOMEN ESPECIALLY WOMEN
OF COLOR ARE SUFFERING DURING A
PANDEMIC I CANNOT AFFORD AGREE
HERE ARBITRARY AND REPRESSIVE A
TARGET AND THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE

PRICING AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS
THEREFORE ADDS TO EXISTING
STRUCTURAL DISCRIMINATION AND
ECONOMIC INEQUALITY THAT WOMEN
FACE FURTHER HARMING OUR
ECONOMIC STABILITY AB TWENTY
SEVEN AS LONG OVERDUE
COMMONSENSE LEGISLATION THAT
ADDRESSES THE REALITY THAT COST
MORE FOR WOMEN TO EXIT SECTORS
MARKETING GENDERED STEREOTYPES
I'M SUCH AS EXPECTATIONS RESULT
IN AN OVERALL TREND WHY WOMEN
PAY MORE FOR PRODUCTS BASED
SOLELY ON THEIR GENDER THIS
INJUSTICE IS NOT LIMITED BY THE
MARKET AND IT REINFORCES
WOMEN'S ECONOMIC INEQUALITY
THIS BILL ENSURES GENDER
EQUALITY FOR COMMERCIAL GOODS
AND HELPS REMOVE INCENTIVES FOR
HUMBLE MARKETING AND SECURES
YOUR PRICING IN CALIFORNIA. FOR
THESE REASONS I URGE THE

TWELVE EIGHTY SEVEN YOU MAY
PRESS ONE AND THEN ZERO AT THIS
TIME. THERE ARE NO COMMENTS IN
THE QUEUE AT THIS TIME ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU OPERATOR I'M
GOING TO BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE. THIS CONSULT WITH SO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE BILL
I SIGNED ON AS A JOINT AUTHORS
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN JOINT AUTHORS
OF PAST ITERATIONS OF THIS I'M
A LITTLE CONCERNED I HAVE TO BE
HONEST ABOUT WHERE THIS BILL
LANDED- I JUST DON'T SEE A
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM THAT'S
GOING TO HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL
FACT. OUTSIDE OF THE IDENTICAL
PEAK IN BLUE RAZOR- KIND OF
SITUATION WHERE WHERE DO YOU
SEE HOW DO YOU SEE THIS WOULD.
HAPPENED BE ENFORCED I'M JUST
NOT REALLY BIG INTO SAYING WE
PASSED LAWS THAT DON'T REALLY
ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I FEEL
GIVEN THE KIND OF STRICTNESS OF
HOW THIS IS CONSTRUED ALONG
WITH THE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT
CAPABILITY WERE KIND OF SAYING
SOMETHING BUT WE'RE NOT REALLY
CAN CAN LIVE. RAZOR M. EXAMPLE
THAT USED TO BE YEARS AND
HONESTLY I WENT CHECKED ISN'T
ISN'T A PROBLEM ANYMORE THEY'VE
SOLVED THE PINK AND BLUE REYES
ARE PROBLEMS AT LEAST IN MY ARE.
SO DID YOU TOUCH ON THINGS THEM
UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTION CRACK
ONE IS IMPORTANT. ONE IS THE
QUESTION OF. HOW WORKING. AND
GENERATE. I THINK. SO THE
ENFORCEMENT PERSONALLY YES- SO
I MEAN REQUIRE. YOU KNOW IT'S
THE IS CURRENTLY CRAFTED HAVE
THE ATTORNEY JOHN AS THE
ENFORCER OF. AND THE I BELIEVE
THE MOST IN. MECHANISM THERE IS
AN ENGINE I THINK WE ALL. TO
THIS TO BE CORRECTED RIGHT NEAR
DRUGS OR IT COULD CRACK THAT'S
THE GOAL. AND SO WHAT HAS BEEN
A PROBLEM IN THE PAST IS THIS
QUESTION OF WILL THERE BE GIVEN
HOW COMPLICATED THIS IS BECAUSE
I THINK HOPE HI I PERSONALLY
BELIEVE THAT IF SOMETHING IS.
MORE EXPENSIVE TO MANUFACTURE
WHICH IN SOME CASES WOMEN'S
GARMENTS FOR EXAMPLE MIGHT BE
MORE EXPENSIVE TO TAYLOR THEN
EMAIL GARMENT THAT YOU CAN
CHARGE FOR THAT RIGHT FOR THE
COST OF THE DIFFERENTIAL IN
PRODUCTION OF GOODS. AND SO
THIS IS A COMPLICATED QUESTION
OF WHERE IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM
PRICE APPROPRIATE BECAUSE IT
COSTS MORE TO MANUFACTURE THE
GOOD AND WHERE IS IT JUST. A
GENDER TAX RATE. AND SO THAT.
GIVE THE COMPLICATED NATURE OF
THAT. YOU KNOW THIS ITERATION
OF THE BILL SAYS THAT WE
BELIEVE THAT THE ENFORCEMENT IS
APPROPRIATELY PLACED IN THE
HANDS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL-
IT IS WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT
WE ARE THINKING ABOUT IS DO WE
WANT IT. GIVEN HOW MUCH THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA HAS TO DO. WE
WANT TO EXPAND THAT OUT TO
LOCAL CITY ATTORNEYS TO GIVE
LOCAL AUTHORITIES THE RIGHT TO
DO THIS YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE
BAND WITH TO DO THAT SO THAT IS
ON THE TABLE AND IF THAT'S
SOMETHING. THAT I WOULD SUGGEST
ADDING THAT BEFORE IT GETS TO
APPROACH IT'S FEELING A LITTLE
BIT LIGHT- STATEMENT BILL WHICH
I'M COOL WITH BUT IT'S NOT
REALLY SOMETHING THAT- PROVIDES
PEOPLE WITH THE KIND OF RELIEF.
THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY I DON'T
SEE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SPENDING A LOT OF TIME DOING IN
JUNCTION FOR TWO HUNDRED FIFTY

I WILL PUT IT ON CALL THANK YOU
MISTER. ALL MISS FRIEDMAN WE
WILL MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER FOUR
AB THIRTEEN SEVENTY ONE. HI OF
THE LORD HELLO MISTER CHAIRMAN.
I WOULD I THINK TELL YOU IN THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR ALL OF YOUR
WORK ON THIS BILL I AM
ACCEPTING THE SUGGESTED
AMENDMENTS ON PAGES TWELVE
THIRTEEN AND FOURTEEN IN THE
ANALYSIS THANK YOU GLOBALLY THE
ECOMMERCE INDUSTRY USED TO BE
REALLY TWO POINT ONE BILLION
THAT'S BILLION WITH A B. POUNDS
OF PLASTIC PACKAGING IN TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN. AND OF THAT
E. COMMERCE BUSINESSES IN THE
U. S. GENERATED SIX HUNDRED
FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY NINE
MILLION POUNDS OF PLASTIC
PACKAGING WASTE. LAST YEAR
CONSUMERS SPENT EIGHT HUNDRED
AND SIXTY ONE BILLION DOLLARS
ONLINE WITH U. S. MERCHANTS UP
44% OVER TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN.
WITHALMOST A THIRD OF THE
WORLD'S POPULATION NOW BUYING
ONLINE THE AMOUNT OF PLASTIC
PACKAGING GENERATED IS
ESTIMATED TO DOUBLE BY TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE. THE STAGGERING
GROWTH IS EXPECTED TO OUTLIVE
THE CODE NINETEEN PANDEMIC. AND
IT'S CREATING A WAVE OF PLASTIC
PACKAGING WASTE WHICH IS ALSO
EAGLE USE AND VERY LITTLE OF
WHICH IS RECYCLABLE IT IS
ALMOST ALL HEADED TO LANDFILLS
INCINERATION OR INTO THE
ENVIRONMENT WHERE IT POLLUTES
WATERWAYS. AND OCEANS. I BUY
THINGS ONLINE PROBABLY YOU ALL
BUY THINGS ONLINE I'M
CONSTANTLY SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH
PLASTIC PACKAGING COMES WITH
ITEMS THAT ARE NOT EVEN FRAGILE
OR EASY TO DAMAGE. PLASTIC THAT
WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO THROW
INTO OUR- TRASH BIN I TO GO TO
OUR LANDFILLS AND- MEMBERS.
IT'S VERY EASY AND CONVENIENT
AND CHEAP TO BUY THINGS ONLINE
BUT WE DON'T THINK ABOUT THE
BACK AND COST THAT WE PAY AS
REPAIRS. ALL OF US WHO LIVE IN
CITIES WITH YOUR TENANT OR YOUR
AN OWNER OF A HOUSE YOU'RE
PAYING A TRASH FREE THAT IS
INCREASINGLY GOING UP. TO
REFLECT THE COST THAT YOUR CITY
YOUR MISTER POLITY HAS TO BEAR
TO DEAL WITH PLASTIC WASTE. NOW
THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION FROM
PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IS AND WHAT
IS NOT RECYCLABLE WHEN IT COMES
IN THOSE BOXES IN FACT I'M
STILL HAVING AN ARGUMENT WITH
MY ROOMMATES HERE IN SACRAMENTO
TO KEEP THROWING PLASTIC FILM
IN THE RECYCLE BIN BECAUSE A
LOT OF TIMES WERE TOLD FROM THE
INDUSTRY THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO
DO IS RECYCLE PLASTIC AND IT
GETS RECYCLED BUT THAT PLASTIC
RIGHT NOW MAYBE RECYCLABLE IN A
LAB SOMEWHERE BUT THERE IS NO
AGENCY IN ON CALIFORNIA THAT I
HAVE FOUND THAT IS CURRENTLY
RECYCLING PLASTIC FILM OF ANY
KIND SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
WHAT THIS IS. RIGHT STAFFER HAS
DONE IS VERY HANDY CRIB SHEETS.
SO IS BAD NOT RECYCLABLE
PROBABLY YOU'VE GOTTEN SOME OF
THIS I GET TONS OF THIS TONS OF
BACK I GOT A PLOT A SKI MASK IN
THE MAIL FOR MY DAUGHTER FROM
FROM ONE OF THE ONLINE SHOPPERS
THE OTHER DAY THAT WAS WRAPPED
IN GOBS OF THIS EVEN THOUGH IT
WAS IN A BOX PRACTICALLY
UNTOUCHABLE NOT RECYCLABLE.
SEEING ALL OF THESE PLASTIC
BAGS NOT RECYCLABLE. WHAT IS
RECYCLABLE. THIS IS RECYCLABLE
INCLUDING THE TAPE ON THE
INSIDE WHICH IS MADE OUT OF
PAPER. WHICH IS NOT PLASTIC SO
EVEN IF IT'S NOT RECYCLED IT
DOES NOT HARM THE ENVIRONMENT
IS A GOES INTO THE ENVIRONMENT
HERE'S A BOX MADE WITH
COMPLETELY RECYCLED AND
RECYCLABLE PAPER. PATTERNS FOR
MORE MORE OF OUR ONLINE
RETAILERS ARE SWITCHING TO THIS
TYPE OF PACKAGING AND INVESTING
IN IT WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS
THAT BY A DATE CERTAIN IT SAYS
YOU CAN NO LONGER USE THE BAD
NON RECYCLABLE PLASTIC
PACKAGING AND INSTEAD YOU HAVE
TO SWITCH TO ONE OF THE MANY
DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AS A SHIPPER
AT LARGE ONLINE CHIPPER. OF
RECYCLABLE NON PLASTIC
PACKAGING MEMBERS THIS IS LOW
HANGING FRUIT THIS IS A MOVE
IT'S ALREADY BEING EMBRACED BY
LARGE PORTIONS OF THE INDUSTRY
THIS WILL MOVE THEM MAKE THEM
MOVE QUICKER IT WILL SEND
SIGNALS TO THE MANY CALIFORNIA
COMPANIES THAT ARE DEVELOPING
EXACTLY THIS KIND OF VERY GOOD
ALTERNATIVE PACKAGING. AND IT'S
OF IT'S A IT'S AGAIN THIS IS A
HUGE AMOUNT OF WASTE TO THAT'S
UNNECESSARY COMPLETELY
UNNECESSARY IN TODAY'S WORLD
THIS IS NOT ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY
THAT WE HAVE TO DEVELOP AT NASA
THIS IS ALREADY HERE IN THE
MARKET PLACE AND THERE'S NO
EXCUSE TO NOT REQUIRE WITHIN A
COUPLE OF YEARS ALL SHIPPERS TO
USE THIS. WITH THAT I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE

OPPOSITION. AB THIRTEEN SEVENTY
ONE IN THE BILL WITH A LOT OF
LONG PANTS. DO YOU THINK
PACKAGING WASTE AND POLLUTION
OUR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. OUR
GOAL CALCHAMBER SHARES AND A
COALITION PARTNER SHARE.
CHAMBERS AND WORKING FOR TWO
AND A HALF YEARS WITH THE
LEGISLATURE ON A COMPREHENSIVE
AND IMPLEMENTABLE RECYCLING
INITIATIVE THAT CREATE AND
MARKET. WHICH IS SOURCE
REDUCTION AND INCENTIVIZE
INVESTMENT IN RECYCLING
COMPOSTING INFRASTRUCTURE EIGHT
FOUR BY THOSE WHO MANUFACTURE
THE PACKAGING IN CALIFORNIA.
BUT A BILL AIMED AT REDUCING
WEIGHT WE BELIEVE EIGHTY
THIRTEEN SEVENTY ONE WILL
ARBITRARILY BANNED PACKAGE
MATERIAL THAT IS ESSENTIAL TO
ENSURING THAT DERIVE UNBROKEN.
AND GROW RIGHT SAFETY FOR
CONSUMERS FROM LIKE TRONIC
MONITORS TV AND HERE'S TO
APPLIANCES OVEN REFRIGERATOR
THE MICROWAVE. TO EPF PACKING
FOR MEDICAL DEVICES IT ALL
REQUIRES EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE
WE ARE NOT AWARE OF HOW YOU
WOULD SHIP A TV LITERALLY A
CROP- YOU KNOW HALF THE WORLD
TO CALIFORNIA WITHOUT USING
EXPAND POLY STYRENE ENSURING
THAT THESE PRODUCTS REMAIN
UNBROKEN. WE THINK THE BILL
ARBITRARILY SET UP IN THE FIRST
HALF. A TAKE BACK PROGRAM WHICH
DOES GET DRIVING YOUR
COLLECTION IMPROPER INDEED
MATERIAL ONLY TO THEN
ARBITRARILY BANNED ALL OF THAT
MATERIAL JUST TWO YEARS LATER
WIRING REQUIRING SMALL LARGE
AND MEDIUM AND LARGE BUSINESSES
TO OFF SET UP A KICK BACK
ELECTION SYSTEM. IN WHICH WE
THEN LITERALLY TWO YEARS LATER
BANNED ALL THAT MATERIAL IT
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE FROM OUR
PERSPECTIVE AND WE DO THINK
TAKE BACK PROGRAMS AND ENSURING
AND MARKET AND INVESTING IN
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALL
IMPORTANT BUT AT AGE THIRTY
SEVEN ONE IS ACTUALLY
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO ACHIEVING
ALL OF THAT NECESSARY OVERALL
TO OUR SYSTEM. AND THAT COULD
BE ANY MATERIALS THAT DO
PROVIDE AND MARKET LIKE ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT- RECYCLED
CONTENT PACKAGING CAN'T FOR
EXAMPLE THAT AN END MARKET FOR
PLASTIC THAT WE I THINK WE
SHOULD BE INTENSIFIED IT NOT
BANNING- ERR PULLOVER HELD UP
AS AN EXAMPLE THAT THAT MIGHT.
BETTER THAN 95% AIR PACKAGE IF
YOU WERE TO PROVIDE THE SAME
PROTECTION FOR THAT PRODUCT AND
SUBSTITUTED WITH A DIFFERENT
MATERIAL YOUR FAMILY TO LOOK AT
THE FULL LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS OF
NEARLY SHIPPING TENS IF NOT
HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF
PRODUCT. WITH HAVE YOUR
PACKAGING THAT WILL REQUIRE
MORE FUEL AND MORE GHG
EMISSIONS I THINK THE BILL IS
WELL INTENDED BUT COMPLETELY
MISSES THE MARK AT THE WHAT IS
TRULY NEEDED TO REDUCE WASTE
REDUCE PLASTIC POLLUTION AND
ACHIEVE A CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN
OTHER REASONS WE OPPOSE THE.
BILL I CAN'T GET ALL OF THAT
OUR TODAY IN A FEW MINUTES HAVE
BEEN ON BUT WOULD LOVE ANSWER
ANY. THAT WITH THE- ON- WAIT WE
THINK WOULD BE A MORE. WAY OF
AT THE- LAW INTENT AS THEY GET
THEIR SEVENTY ONE- WE WERE. ASK
FOR ANOTHER THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. WITH KATHY. THANK YOU
MISTER MEMBER DON HAPPY WITH ME

OPPOSITION TO AB THIRTEEN
SEVENTY ONE AB IS NOTED AT A BY
A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
CALCHAMBER SEE MPA AND ITS
MEMBERS AGREE THAT INCREASED
APPLETS ARE NEEDED TO ENSURE
PACKAGING MATERIAL IS
RECYCLABLE AND APPROPRIATELY
RECOVERED AND RECYCLED. TO THAT
END IF YOU CAME UP MEMBERS OF
SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE
LAST THREE YEARS WORKING IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THE CALCHAMBER
AND OUR COLLEAGUE ORGANIZATIONS
DEVELOPING A WORKABLE FRAMEWORK
FOR THE RECOVERY AND RECYCLING
OF SINGLE USE PACKAGING
MATERIALS AS WELL AS EFFORTS TO
DEVELOP POLICY TEAM CENTRALIZED
NEW DOMESTIC MARKET TO RECYCLE
MATERIALS IMPROVED PACKAGING
DESIGNED TO INCREASE
RECYCLABILITY AND DEVELOP VALUE
CHAIN FINANCING FOR COLLECTING
AND STORING VARIOUS PACKAGING
FORMATS. WILL SEEM J. PRESHEAF
THE INTENSITY. THIRTEEN SEVENTY
ONE. LEAVE THAT IS IMPORTANT A
POLICY OF TAKES IN ACCOUNT THE
NECESSARY WILL AFTER G. SEND.
AND PROTECTING. EXCEPT INSTEAD.
AND MULTI OF AN- AFTER SUCH AS
RECYCLE. WE PREVENT
MATERIALISES. ENERGY EMISSIONS
RELATED TO VARIOUS PACKAGE
MATERIALS AND ARRIVED A
SOLUTION- MAKES SENSE
ENVIRONMENTALLY WHILE PROVIDING
THE REGULATED COMMUNITY AND
BROADER SUPPLY CHAIN BUT
PRACTICAL AND IMPLEMENTABLE
COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS AND
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS.
UNFORTUNATELY EIGHTY THIRTEEN
SEVENTY ONE INCLUDE STAMP ON
SOME PACKING MATERIALS USED FOR
SHIPPING BUT FAILED TO TAKE
INTO ACCOUNT POTENTIAL
UNINTENDED ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS. AND IN FACT COULD VERY
WELL LEAD TO INCREASE WAGES
WERE SOLD THE PRODUCT BREAKAGE
OR SPOILAGE. AT THE SAME TIME
AB THIRTEEN SEVENTY ONE THING
OF THESE MATERIALS IT SEEMS TO
ALSO REQUIRE TAKE BACK PROGRAMS
BEATS JOBLESS FOR THE SAME
PACKAGING ITEMS THAT WOULD BE
BANNED. FURTHER AS AMENDED THE
PENALTY STRUCTURES EVEN MORE
CONCERNING OF THE MANDATE OF
REMAINS UNCLEAR IN SOME
RESPECTS BUT PENALTIES BEING
RAISED TO A LEVEL THAT IS NOT
COMMENSURATE WITH THE
CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO
PRODUCT PROTECTION NEEDS. TO
AVOID. INCREASED WASTE ANY
COMMERCE. I AB THIRTY SEVEN
TAKES A PUNITIVE. RATHER THAN
FOR ON MARK FROM BURKE AND RISK
AND- HIM K. IT'S MEMBERS UNDER.
THEY NEED TO PLAYING YOUR
REDUCTION RECYCLING EXTINGUISH
PACKAGING WASTE PUT INTO THE
MARKET PLACE. TO THAT END CMJ
LOOKS FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE AUTHOR AND LEGISLATURE TO
CRAFTING APPROACH FOR SINGLE
USE PACKAGING THAT IS WORKABLE
AND IMPLEMENTABLE. AB THIRTEEN
SEVENTY ONE UNFORTUNATELY WILL
ONLY SEEK TO INCREASE WASTE AND
NEGATIVELY IMPACT CALIFORNIA
BASED MANUFACTURERS WHO
MANUFACTURE AND USE THE
PACKAGING THAT WOULD BE THE END
OF THE BILL. FOR THESE REASONS
CMJ MUST REMAIN OPPOSED AB

BIT OF TRASH TALK. EARLIER. I
DO THINK THAT- THANK YOU TO
HAVE A MOTION IS THEIR SECOND
SECOND AND THE SECOND THANK YOU
BIZRATE'S CONTINUE. I THINK
THAT- THE THING. THE
PRESENTATION OF WHAT IS- WHAT
IS AND IS NOT RECYCLABLE I
THINK IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
ONE AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
EXPERTISE IN THIS AREA EXPERT I
WOULD BE FOR SHAKE THE
EXPERTISE OF ALL OF MY
ROOMMATES. THANK YOU OTHER.
QUESTIONS COMMENTS. ALL RIGHT
SEE THAT THANK YOU THIS
FRIEDMAN FOR BRINGING THIS AND
I DO SHARE YOUR FRUSTRATION AND
IT JUST SEEMS THAT THERE ARE
CONSTANTLY BILLS MOVING TO TRY

ENVIRONMENT AND THEY NEVER GET
ANYWHERE WE HEAR THE SAME
THING- WE AGREE WITH YOU BUT
IT'S NOT THIS WE AGREE WITH YOU
JUST NOT THAT JUST NOT THIS
JUST NOT THAT WELL THEN WHAT IN
IN IN THE END WE KEEP THROWING
RESPONSIBILITY. ON PUBLIC
AGENCIES WHO RESPONSIBLE FOR.
THE TAXPAYERS ULTIMATELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THAT.
THAT THE CLEAN UP THE RECOVERY
RECYCLING EVERYTHING AND- IT'S
LONG PAST TIME THAT THE
INDUSTRY ACTUALLY COME FORWARD
WITH SOMETHING TO HELP. THEY'RE
THE ONES MAKING THE MONEY OFF
OF THESE PRODUCTS IN THIS
DISTRIBUTION. THEY NO LONGER
DISAGREE COMPLETELY BUT YET
NOTHING IS QUITE GOOD ENOUGH I
THINK THIS IS A FINE BILL
APPRECIATE THE- THE WORK THAT
YOU. ARE PUTTING INTO IT. AND-
RECEIVE THE- THAT YOU BROUGHT
THIS TO US TODAY. RIGHT WITHOUT
YOU MAY CLOSE I'M IF IT'S OKAY
WITH YOU I WANTED TO MAYBE
ADDRESS A FEW OF THE COMMENTS
THAT WERE RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION BUT I'LL TAKE YOUR
PICTURE. WHATEVER YOU YOU CAN
CLOSE IN ANYWHERE YOU LIKE WELL
I DO APPRECIATE- YOU KNOW THE
RESPECTFUL CALLS- FROM THE
CHAMBER AND FROM OTHERS AND WE
ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SIT DOWN
AND TALK TO ANYBODY ABOUT HOW
WE CAN MAKE THIS MORE WORKABLE
I DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS LOW
HANGING FRUIT AND SOME OF THE-
THE CLAIMS THAT WERE MADE JUST
AREN'T BORNE OUT BY WHAT'S
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW IN THE
MARKETPLACE- TELEVISIONS AND
OTHER BREAKABLE- ELECTRONICS
WERE BROUGHT UP. SAM SONG NO
LONGER USES PLASTIC OR
POLYSTYRENE THEIR PACKAGING
THEY USED TO FOR A KIND OF
FOAM- MOLDED- CARDBOARD FOR
THEIR TELEVISIONS AND THEIR
BREAKABLE ELECTRONICS- SO THE
INDUSTRY IS ALREADY MOVING IN
THIS DIRECTION THEY'RE SHOWING
NOT IN THE FUTURE BUT RIGHT NOW
EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT THIS IS
POSSIBLE EVEN FOR VERY
BREAKABLE OBJECTS. WE HAVE
LIMITED THIS TO LARGE ONLINE
RETAILERS I THINK IT MAYBE IS
TELLING THAT ONE OF THE LARGEST
ONLINE RETAILERS HAS NOT YET-
COME IN OPPOSITION BECAUSE THEY
ARE ALREADY MOVING IN THIS
DIRECTION VERY RAPIDLY AND KNOW
THAT THIS IS WHAT THEIR
CUSTOMERS ARE ARE LOOKING FOR.
A WAY TO THE WERE THE TALK
ABOUT US INVESTING IN
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR RECYCLING
AND I WOULD SAY TWO THINGS
NUMBER ONE IT SHOULDN'T BE ON
PUBLIC AGENCIES AND CONSUMERS
AND RATEPAYERS TO PAID UP ALL
THE BURDEN OF THIS AND IT EVERY
TIME IS LEGISLATURE IS TRIED TO
HAVE MORE PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY AND SHIPPER
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRASH
THAT THEY ARE LITERALLY DUMPING
INTO OUR COMMUNITIES. WE'RE
THEY THEY DON'T SUPPORT THOSE
EFFORTS AND. THOSE BILLS VERY
RARELY MAKE IT THROUGH. AND
THIS MAN. IS NOT RECYCLABLE
THERE IS NO MARKET FOR IT IT'S
MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO TRY TO
RECYCLE IT OVER AND OVER AND I
DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT IT CAN BE
RATE RECYCLED MORE THAN ONCE.
THE AT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT
IT IS A DANGEROUS PRODUCT IT'S
A DANGEROUS PRODUCT IN OUR
ENVIRONMENT. IT BREAKS DOWN
INTO MICROPLASTICS IT END UP
EVEN WHEN IT'S AN LANDFILLS IN
OUR WATER STREAMS THAT NOW IS
DETECTABLE AT. PRETTY HIGH
LEVELS IN THE BLOOD OF EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF US IN THIS ROOM
AND EVEN IN THE BLOOD OF NEW
BORN BABIES. THAT'S
UNACCEPTABLE AND IN THIS CASE
IT'S UNNECESSARY AS WE'VE SEEN
IT'S JUST UNNECESSARY. WITH
THAT I WOULD RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST A YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS
BILL TODAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU

GOOD
MORNING MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PRESENT TO YOU TODAY I'M
HERE 2% AB NINE THREE SEVEN THE
VISION ACT. WHICH WOULD PROTECT
REFUGEE AND IMMIGRANT
CALIFORNIANS WHO HAVE BEEN
DEEMED ELIGIBLE FOR RELEASE
FROM BEING FUNNELED INTO THE
IMMIGRATION DETENTION. SYSTEM
BY CALIFORNIA LOCAL JAILS AND
PRISONS. THESE ARE CALIFORNIANS
WHO HAVE COMPLETED THEIR TIME
EARNED THEIR PAROLE AND HAVE
HAD THEIR SENTENCES COMMUTED.
BY GOV BY THE GOVERNOR AFTER A
CLOSE REVIEW OF THE CLEMENCY
APPLICATION. WHEN LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND
REHABILITATION ASSIST WITH
TRANSFERS OF THESE INDIVIDUALS
TO ICE. THE NORTHER RECORD OF
REHABILITATION STABLE REENTRY
PLAN. AND THEIR NETWORK
COMMUNITY AND FAMILY SUPPORT.
MANY CALIFORNIA COUNTIES
INCLUDING LOS ANGELES SANTA
CLARA SAN FRANCISCO HUMBLED SAN
JOAQUIN SANTA CRUZ AND CONTRA
COSTA. HAVE RECOGNIZED THIS.
AND HAVE HALTED OR CUT BACK ON
TRANSFERS TO IMMIGRATION
OFFICIALS WHEN SOMEONE HAS
SERVED THEIR TIME. MEMBERS IF
NOT WERE FOR WHERE THESE
INDIVIDUALS WERE BORN. THEY
WOULD BE ALLOWED TO RETURN HOME
TO THEIR FAMILIES AND
COMMUNITIES. AB NINE THREE
SEVEN WILL MOVE OUR STATE
CLOSER TO FULFILLING ITS
COMMITMENT. TO IMMIGRANT RIGHTS
AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM. WE
RECOGNIZE THAT OUR JUSTICE
SYSTEM DISPROPORTIONATELY HARMS
BLACKS LATINOS INDIGENOUS. AND
AAPI COMMUNITIES IN RECENT
YEARS THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
CALIFORNIA VOTERS HAVE
DEMONSTRATED A COMMITMENT. AND
A WILLINGNESS TO REFORM OUR
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM AND
MASS INCARCERATION. HOWEVER FOR
IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE EARNED
THEIR RELEASE THIS JUST MEANS
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE HANDED
OVER TO ICE AND FACE PERMANENT
SEPARATION. FROM THEIR FAMILIES
AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. LET ME
BE VERY CLEAR. THE VISION ACT
DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT'S ABILITY TO SET
IMMIGRATION LAW. THIS BILL ONLY
DOESN'T THIS BILL ALSO DOESN'T
PRECLUDE STATE AND LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT FROM PARTICIPATING
IN JOINT TASK FORCES IF THE
PURPOSE. OF THE TASK FORCE'S
CRIMINAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. NOT
INTEGRATION ENFORCEMENT. ON
MARCH THIRTIETH. A WOMAN FROM
OMANI NAME GABBY SOLANO WAS
TRANSFERRED TO BY CDCR TO ICE.
GABBY CAME TO THIS COUNTRY AT
THE AGE OF TWO AS A LAWFUL
PERMANENT RESIDENT. GABBY IS A
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOWEVER AND
SPENT HALF HER LIFE BEHIND BARS
FOR A CRIME COMMITTED. BY HER
ABUSIVE EX PARTNER. AFTER
SERVING TWENTY YEARS IN STATE
PRISON GOVERNOR BROWN COMMUTED
HER SENTENCE IN RECOGNITION OF
HER DEMONSTRATED RECORD OF
COMMITMENT. TO SERVICE
MENTORSHIP AND REHABILITATION
HOWEVER. RATHER THAN ALLOW
GABBY TO RETURN HOME TO HER
FAMILY INTO THE CALIFORNIA. THE
COMPANY CONTRACTED WITH ICE.
PICTURE OF FROM A CDC OUR
FACILITY IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY
AND TRANSPORTED HER TO A
DETENTION CENTER IN COLORADO
WHERE SHE REMAINS TODAY.
IMMIGRANT CALIFORNIANS WHO HAVE
SERVED THEIR SENTENCES OR
OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED
FOR RELEASE. SHOULD NOT FACE A
SECOND PUNISHMENT. WE SHOULD
NOT FUNNEL THEM INTO A FEDERAL
IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND
DEPORTATION SYSTEM. DIVISION
ACT WILL END IS TRANSFERS TO OR
FROM OUR LOCAL JAILS NCDC ARE
IN PRACTICE. A PRACTICE THE
TREATS PEOPLE DIFFERENTLY JUST
SIMPLY BASED ON WHERE THEY WERE

COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH ME. ON IN MY OFFICE ON
THIS BILL AND LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH ALL

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT PURPOSE.
FURTHER ELIMINATING THE
REQUIREMENT THAT OFFENDERS
PLACE OF BIRTH BE INCLUDED IN
BASIC INFORMATION STORED IN

MR CHIU. THREE THANK YOU FOR.
CHAIR. TENSION IT IS TRULY
DOUBLE PUNISHMENT- BUT I'M
GOING SPEAK TODAY AS AN ASIAN
AMERICAN I KNOW THAT- IN
SOCIETY THEIR STEREOTYPES THAT
THE FOLKS WHO WOULD BE
ADDRESSED BY THIS BILL. ARE
MOSTLY FROM THE LATINO
COMMUNITY THAT IS NOT TRUE I'M
GONNA SPEAK AS THE- IMMEDIATE
PAST CHAIR OF THE ACCOUNT
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS AND SHARE.
THE MANY STORIES I'VE HEARD
OVER THE YEARS- FROM SO MANY
FAMILY MEMBERS OF REFUGEES FROM
FROM OUR COMMUNITY BAND AND
THEY BRING TO US- MANY VERSIONS
OF THE SAME STORY SO THE STORY
OF THE KID. WHO EMIGRATED AT
THE AGE OF THREE FOUR FIVE.
FLED PERSECUTION WAR BY FROM
THEIR BIRTH COUNTRY- THEY
THEMSELVES EXPERIENCED HORRIFIC
VIOLENCE. THEY COME TO OUR
COUNTRY HAVING EXPERIENCED
INCREDIBLE TRAUMA. THEY HAVE
SOME CHALLENGES ADJUSTING IN
THEIR TEENAGE YEARS TO GET INTO
SOME TROUBLE THEY RESTED
THEY'RE CONVICTED AND THEY DO
THEIR FULL TIME. AND WHAT
HAPPENS IS THEY COME OF THE
FROM JUSTICE THERE PICKED UP
FOR DEEP. EVEN THOUGH THEY
DON'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF
THEIR ORIGINAL HOME COUNTRY
HAVE NO TIES TO THEIR ORIGINAL
BIRTH COUNTRY HAVE NO FAMILY.
AND TO OUR COMMUNITY. THESE
INDIVIDUALS ARE OUR FAMILY
MEMBERS THERE ARE PARENTS THEIR
SPOUSES. THEY ARE MODEL
CITIZENS ARE MODEL EXAMPLES
PARTICULARLY TO AT RISK YOUTH
FROM OUR COMMUNITY. AND HELP
THEM FROM GETTING. FUTURE
TROUBLE THESE ARE THE FOLKS.
THAT WE NEED TO HELP AND JUST
TO. PROVIDE SOME STATISTICS ON
THIS- MANY OF THESE REFUGEES.
ARE FROM OUR SOUTHEAST ASIAN
REFUGEE COMMUNITY WHO ARE THREE
TO FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE
DEPORTED. FOR PAST CONVICTIONS
COMPARED TO OTHER IMMIGRANT
COMMUNITIES SAID JUST AS AN
EXAMPLE TWENTY EIGHTEEN. ON
SIXTEEN THOUSAND- SOUTHEAST
ASIANS IN OUR COUNTRY RECEIVE
FINAL DEPORTATION ORDERS MORE
THAN THIRTEEN THOUSAND OF WHICH
WERE BASED ON PAST CRIMINAL
RECORDS. 80% OF DEPORTATION
ORDERS FOR OUR SOUTHEAST ASIAN
REFUGEES WERE LINKED TO OLD
CRIMINAL RECORDS COMPARED TO
TWENTY NINE PERCENT. OF ALL
IMMIGRANTS WITH DEPORTATION
ORDERS. AND DURING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION IN THE IN THE
MIDDLE OF. THE TERM OF
PRESIDENT TRUMP. THERE WAS A
TWO HUNDRED AND 79% SPIKE ANTI.
OF CAMBODIAN REFUGEES. AND A
58% INCREASE IN THE DEPORTATION
OF VIETNAMESE REFUGEES. NOW I
WISH WE COULD SAY THAT THE
TARGETING OF OUR SOUTHEAST
ASIAN REFUGEE COMMUNITY. HAS
STOPPED BUT IT HAS NOT
UNFORTUNATELY IN THE FIRST
MONTHS OF THE NEW
ADMINISTRATION- JUST AS AN
EXAMPLE. THE MIDDLE OF MARCH
THE SAME WEEK AS THE HORRIFIC
ATLANTA SHOOTING. AND DURING
PRESIDENT BIDEN'S MORATORIUM ON
DEPORTATION. WE HAD THIRTY
THREE VIETNAMESE AMERICAN
REFUGEE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO
ARE DEPORTED. AND FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE. AS WE FACE A VERY
DISTURBING RISE IN ANTI ASIAN
HATE. I THINK WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT THE POLICIES THAT WE MOVE
FORWARD TO REALLY UPLIFT OUR
COMMUNITIES AND I BELIEVE THE
VISION ACT. HAS TO BE CENTRAL
TO THAT SO WITH THAT I'M VERY
HAPPY. TO SUPPORT IT REALLY DO-
HOPE THAT OUR COLLEAGUES THINK
ABOUT THE HUMAN IMPACT OF THIS
AND THE WITHOUT HAVING A MOTION
TO MOVE THIS FOR. THE YOU FOR
YOUR MOTION A SERVICE. OUR O.
SUCH THAT. OTHER QUESTIONS
COMING. SIENET MISCREANT CLOSE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR HAVE TOO
MANY WINDOWS OPEN ON MY IPAD-
I. PROPITIATE THE CONVERSATION
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER TO
FOR YOUR COMMENTS I THINK THAT
WE HAVE SEEN THE IMMIGRATION
DEBATE OFTEN LANDS ON A LATINO
LANDS AND THAT'S NOT THE CASE
AT ALL- IMMIGRANTS FROM ALL
OVER THE WORLD ARE IMPACTED BY
LOSS THAT THE UNITED STATES
HOUSE. I AM A FORMERLY
UNDOCUMENTED CHILD IN THIS
COUNTRY MY FAMILY ALSO FLED THE
CIVIL WAR I HAVE MANY COUSINS
WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM WHO DID
NOT HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITIES
AND CHOICES- THAT I HAD AND SO
THIS IS A VERY- THIS IS AN
ISSUE THAT'S VERY CLOSE TO MY
HEART AND CLOSE TO MY
COMMUNITY. I WOULD ALSO SAY
THAT THE ULTIMATE QUESTION THAT
WE ALMOST ASK OURSELVES IS DO
YOU BELIEVE IN A JUST JUSTICE
SYSTEM DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION
IS ALSO DOING THEIR JOB IN THE
REHABILITATION PORTION THERE
ARE THOUSANDS OF IMMIGRANTS.
ACROSS OUR STATE THAT ARE
CAUGHT UP IN THE SYSTEM THAT
SIMPLY IDENTIFIES THEM AS NON
CITIZENS IMMIGRATION IS NOT
SOLELY SYNONYMOUS WITH BEING
UNDOCUMENTED THE CASE THAT I
PRESENTED WAS OF A LAWFUL
PERMANENT RESIDENT WHO CAME TO
THIS COUNTRY AT THE AGE OF TWO
WHO IS NOW IN AN ICE FACILITY
JUST BASED ON AFTER SPENDING
TWENTY YEARS IN PRISON. BASED
ON THE ACTIONS OF HER PERFORMER
ABUSIVE PARTNER WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING TO ENSURE THAT-
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE SERVED
THEIR TIME THAT HAVE PAID THEIR
DEBT TO SOCIETY THAT HAVE GONE
THROUGH THE RIGOROUS COURSE OF
THE PAROLE BOARD HEARINGS THAT
HAVE A DEMONSTRATED THEIR THEIR
ABILITY TO COME BACK INTO
SOCIETY TO BE WITH THEIR
FAMILIES TO START A NEW. THAT
THEY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SO REGARDLESS OF WHERE THEY
WERE BORN THAT IS THE SIMPLE
BASIS OF A JUST SOCIETY AND I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE TO ENSURE THAT THE VISION
ACT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU WE
DO HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND
THE MOTION IS TO PASS AS
AMENDED TO- A- CALL THE ROLL.

SEE THAT THERE COULD BE LITTLE
DUPLICATION OF- EXISTING LAWS.

THE FEDERAL AND THE STATE
PROGRAM I GUESS MY QUESTION IS
WHY NOT TAKE IN THE
DEFICIENCIES YOU SEE AND THESE

THE EXISTING LAWS. INSTEAD OF
CREATING ANOTHER LAW. WELL WITH
THAT SAID YOU KNOW. FOCUS ON
THE TO RESERVE PLAYERS THAT
THERE PARTY WE- THEY'RE THE
ONES THAT GO RECRUIT THESE WORK.
THIS IS THE AREA OF. THAT AB
THREE SIXTY FOUR SEATS TO
ADDRESS THAT WAS ORIGINAL
INTENTIONS OF THE AUTHOR BACK
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN STEINBERG.
IT JUST OVER THE AN ERROR THAT
THERE WAS INTERPRETED. NOT
INCLUDED BUT THAT WAS HIS
ORIGINAL INTENT AS WELL. SAID
THAT BUT THERE'S NO REASON WHY
WHAT WOULD BE THE REASON OF NOT
JUST TAKING WHAT WE HAVEN'T AND
MAKING AMENDMENTS TO IT ADDING
THAT INTO IT. WELL WE JUST FEEL
THAT THIS IS THE BETTER WAY TO
DO IT LEGISLATIVELY TO ADD. THE
H. TWO EIGHT R. FOR. BECAUSE
AGAIN A REGION INTENT OF BILL.
THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS

SAID AB A. THIRTY EIGHT. THANK
YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF. TO
PRESENT TODAY ON THE SAME BILL
AND THIRTY AND THAT'S RELATING
TO ENFORCEMENT OF AND I CAB
BUSINESS. I WOULD LIKE BEGIN BY
ALL F THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
AND THE AMOUNT. AND BY THINKING
CAN STAFF FOR ALL OF THEIR AND
THE LINE. ACCORDING TO RECENT
REPORTS ILLEGAL CANNABIS
SELLERS AND CAL I WOULD NUMBER
LEGAL REGULATED BUSINESSES BY
NEARLY THREE TO ONE. THIS
REPORT FOUND THAT WHILE
CALIFORNIA CANNABIS GROWERS
COLLECTIVELY PRODUCE ABOUT NINE
MILLION POUNDS OF CANNABIS PER
YEAR. THE DEMAND IN THE LEGAL
CANNABIS MARKET CAN ONLY
SUPPORT AROUND TWO MILLION
POUNDS PER YEAR. THIS LEAVES
ABOUT 80% OF THE CROP EITHER TO
BE DESTROYED OR TO MAKE IT MAKE
ITS WAY INTO THE ILLICIT
MARKET. ESTIMATES PUT THE VALUE
OF THE LOCAL CANNABIS MARKET AT
AROUND EIGHT POINT SEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR. ALL
OF THIS ECONOMIC ACTIVITY IS
BOTH UNTAXED AND UNREGULATED.
IN ADDITION TO DWINDLING TAX
REVENUES THE UNDERGROUND MARKET
PRESENTS SERIOUS PUBLIC SAFETY
AND PUBLIC HEALTH THREATS TO
OUR COMMUNITIES. NEWS ARTICLES
FROM AROUND THE STATE HAVE
DOCUMENTED VIOLENCE. AND CRIME
AT THESE UNLICENSED
DISPENSARIES. IN ADDITION THE
CANNABIS PRODUCTS SOLD AT THESE
LOCATIONS DOES NOT MEET
ESTABLISHED QUALITY STANDARDS
AND EVADE STATE TESTING. AB
ELEVEN THIRTY EIGHT WOULD
TARGET THE ILLICIT MARKET BY
CREATING CIVIL PENALTIES. FOR
INDIVIDUALS FOUND TO BE AIDING
AND ABETTING THE SALE OF
UNLICENSED CANNABIS. THE
LANGUAGE. IN THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS FURTHER DEFINES
AIDING AND ABETTING SO THAT THE
PROVISIONS IN THIS BILL CLEARLY
DO NOT APPLY TO EMPLOYEES. AT
ANY LEGAL SHOP. THE AMENDMENTS
ALSO PREVENT THE FINES IN THE
BILL FROM BEING USED AS
LEVERAGE IN CRIMINAL CASES. THE
AMENDMENTS ALSO PREVENT I'M
SORRY THE BILL HAS ENJOYED THE
SUPPORT OF LABOR. A LEGITIMATE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY LOCAL

THIRTY THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
MILLION POUNDS OF POST CONSUMER

DIRECTLY CONTACT APPLICATION
THEY MUST BE STATE. WHICH IS
TYPICALLY DETERMINED BY
OBTAINING A LETTER OF NON

AND HELD FROM THE USFDA. THAT
IS BASED ON A REVIEW OF THE

THE ANTI TRUST PROVISIONS IS
IMPORTANT SO THAT MANUFACTURERS
CAN FACILITATE PURCHASING. OF
RECYCLED THERMAL FORM- MATERIAL

PRODUCER AND EXPORTER.
THERMOFORM PACKAGING SUCH AS

BOTTLES WHICH IS INCREASINGLY
IN HIGH DEMAND AND ESPECIALLY

ALSO CRITICAL TO CREATE A LEVEL
PLAYING FIELD WE HAVE MADE
INVESTMENTS INTO RECYCLABLE
PRODUCT THAT ALSO HAS RECYCLED
CONTENT AND THIS BILL WILL
PROPEL THE WHOLE SUPPLY CHAIN.
FOR MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY
RESPONSIBLE PACKAGING. THERE
ARE SOME MANUFACTURERS THAT DO

RECYCLED CONTENT MANDATE
HOWEVER MANY BRAND OWNERS HAVE
SIGNED THE U. S. PLASTICS PACT
WHICH IS MADE COMMITMENTS THAT
BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. THE
AVERAGE RECYCLED CONTENT OR
RESPONSIBLY SOURCED BIOBASED
CONTENT IN PLASTIC PACKAGING
WILL BE 30% IS THE DIRECTION
THAT OUR COUNTRY IS MOVING. WE
CAN ENSURE IT'S MAKING THIS
MOVE BACK FROM CALIFORNIA. AB

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN OF
THE COMMITTEE AND COMMITTEE
STAFF FIRST I'D LIKE TO ACCEPT
AUTHORS AMENDMENTS CLARIFYING
THAT A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION
FOR AN EMPLOYEE WITH FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES. ONLY APPLIES
WHEN THERE IS AN OBLIGATION
ARISING FROM AN UNFORESEEN NEED
TO CARE FOR MINOR CHILD OR CARE
RECIPIENT. WHO SCHOOL OR PLACE
OF CARE IS CLOSED UNEXPECTEDLY.
AB ELEVEN NINETEEN WOULD
PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
EMPLOYEES BASED ON THEIR FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES. AS STATED
PREVIOUSLY THIS BILL REQUIRES
AN EMPLOYER TO PROVIDE
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR
KNOWN FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR UNEXPECTED SCHOOL OR CHILD
CARE CLOSURES. THE AMERICAN
FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY
DISCRIMINATION OCCURS WHEN AN
EMPLOYER TAKES A NEGATIVE
EMPLOYMENT ACTION AGAINST AN
EMPLOYEE. TO CARE FOR A FAMILY
MEMBER. THIS INCLUDES MOTHERS
OR FATHERS OF YOUNG CHILDREN
PREGNANT OR BREAST FEEDING
PEOPLE. AND EMPLOYEES WITH
AGING PARENTS WERE SIX BOSSES
ARE PARTNERS THAT MAY ENCOUNTER
FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY
DISCRIMINATION. UNDER THE US
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR ROUGHLY 60%
CHILDREN UNDER AGE EIGHTEEN
HAVE BOTH PARENTS WORKING. MORE
THAN ONE IN SIX AMERICANS WORK
FULL TIME OR PART TIME A REPORT
ASSISTING THE CARE OF AN
ELDERLY OR DISABLED FAMILY
MEMBER RELATIVE. OR FRIEND AND
OVER ONE AND TWELVE- EMPLOYED
ADULTS ARE CARING FOR BOTH
CHILDREN AND AN ELDERLY OR
DISABLED INDIVIDUAL. MOST
EMPLOYEES WILL HAVE CARE
RESPONSIBILITIES AT SOME POINT
IN THEIR PROFESSIONAL LIVES
EMPLOYMENT ACTIONS LIKE
TERMINATION REFUSAL TO HIRE
DEMOTION OR BEING LOOKED OER
FOR PROMOTIONS. MAYBE BASED ON
BIASES ABOUT HOW WORKERS WITH
FAMILY CARE RESPONSIBILITIES
WILL OR SHOULD ACT WITHOUT
REGARD TO THEIR THE WORKERS
ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. THIS TYPE
OF DISCRIMINATION AFFECTS
EMPLOYEES OF EVERY INCOME LEVEL
RACE GENDER IN INDUSTRY.
WORKING MOTHERS LOW WAGE
WORKERS AND PEOPLE OF COLOR ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED. A
STUDY FROM THE AMERICAN JOURNAL
SOCIOLOGY FOUND THAT MOTHERS
WERE 79% LESS LIKELY TO BE
RECOMMENDED FOR HIRE. HALF AS
LIKELY TO BE PROMOTED AND
OFFERED IT AT AN AVERAGE OF
ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS
FOR THE SAME POSITION AS NON
MOTHERS. MOST ALARMINGLY 80% OF
NEARLY ONE POINT ONE MILLION
WORKERS WHO DROPPED OUT OF THE
LABOR FORCE LESS AND LESS
SEPTEMBER WERE WOMEN.
ADDITIONALLY ALMOST TWO HUNDRED
STATES AND LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
INCLUDING ALASKA DELAWARE
MINNESOTA NEW YORK. HAVE
PROHIBITED FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITY DISCRIMINATION
WITH LITTLE REPORTS OF ABUSE.
EMPLOYEES ARE STRUGGLING TO
BALANCE THEIR JOBS AND CARING
FOR THEIR FAMILIES DISPARATE
TREATMENT BECAUSE OF THEIR
FAMILY RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD
NOT BE A REASON FOR
TERMINATION. OR OTHER ADVERSE
EMPLOYMENT ACTIONS. WITH ME

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST FAMILY
CAREGIVERS EXISTED LONG BEFORE
THE PANDEMIC AND IT WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY CONTINUE TO TAKE
AFFIRMATIVE STEPS TO ADDRESS
THAT. I CALIFORNIA IS BEHIND IN
ADDRESSING THAT NEARLY 40% OF
THE AMERICAN WORKFORCE ALREADY
PROTECTED BY STATE OR LOCAL
LAWS THAT PROHIBIT
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
EMPLOYEES ARE GETTING

MORNING MY NAME IS JULIAN
CURRENT KING AND I'M READING
THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT ON
BEHALF OF ALL NOT THREE S. MY
NAME IS I'M NOT THIRTY YET THAT
I AM THE MOTHER OF FOUR
CHILDREN MY YOUNGEST THREE B.
AT TWO AND A HALF YEARS OLD.
SHE WAS BORN SEVENTEEN WEEKS
PREMATURE AND HAD BEEN
DIAGNOSED WITH THE MOST SEVERE
FORM OF CEREBRAL PALSY. DOCTOR
GAVE HER A 2% CHANCE OF
SURVIVAL AND SHE WOULD CAPS IN
THE NENATAL ICU FOR ALMOST
EIGHT MONTHS AFTER SHE WAS BORN.
TO BE A PLASTIC. AND PREACHER
CHECK YA TO ME TOO. IT DEPENDS
ON A VENTILATOR AND REQUIRES
TWENTY FOUR HOUR SPECIALIZED
CARE TO LET. WHEN RUBY WAS BORN
I WAS WORKING FULL TIME AT THE
BRANCH MANAGER FOR A HIGHLY
SUCCESSFUL COMPANY. I WAS A
LOYAL EMPLOYEE AND WAS GOOD AT
MY JOB I EVEN RECEIVED A
COMPANY WIDE AWARD FOR HAVING
THE HIGHEST BUILDING BRANCH I
WORKED ALL DAY AND THEY DID
RUBY IN THE NECK YOU EVERY
NIGHT UNTIL SHE WAS DISCHARGED.
SO MY PERFORMANCE DIDN'T CHANGE
MY TO PROVIDE YOUR PERCEPTION
OF ME THAT. I HAD TO USE MY
HARD EARNED SICK TIME AND PTO
TO TAKE RUBY TO DOCTOR
APPOINTMENTS AND SPECIALIST FOR
THAT. I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID OF
ASKING FOR THE TIME OFF BECAUSE
MY BOSSES WOULD MAKE COMMENTS
AND COMPLAIN ABOUT ME TO MY CO
WORKERS. I RETIRED. RIGHT
BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN TWENTY
NINETEEN. I THINK MILLION IT.
AND CONTENT ANXIOUS ABOUT HOW
WOULD PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY.
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN AGREES
WITH A POWERFUL THAT I ALMOST
BOUGHT THE WILL TO LIVE. BUT I
LOVE MY CHILDREN AND I KNEW I
NEEDED TO PROVIDE FOR THEM. I
FINALLY FOUND ANOTHER JOB IN
MARCH TWENTY TWENTY. I THINK HR
MANAGER. I WAS SO GRATEFUL TO
BE EMPLOYED. I COULD TELL MY
COWORKERS AND MANAGERS
RESPECTED ME AND VALUE MY
EXPERIENCE. DAN ARE AFTERNOON
NURSING TOOK WILL. TO CARE
GROOVY SUDDENLY. WORKING PRESS
BECAUSE OF KOBE. IT'S HOW FOR
ME TO FIND ADEQUATE CARE FOR
TRAINED PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE
TRICKY AFTER THE EXPERIENCE. SO
I CALLED OCT UPDATED AND THAT I
CAN COMMENT. I HAD NO OTHER
CHOICE. IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF
THE FOR ME AT MY JOB. MY BOX
WITH OBVIOUSLY ANNOYED.
RETALIATED AGAINST ME BY TWO
NINETY PERMISSION TO WORK
REMOTELY EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE
ELSE WAS WORKING REMOTELY. IT'S
LIKE THEY WERE ASKING ME TO
PROVE THAT I WOULD PUT THAT
BEFORE MY CHILD. I NEEDED THE
JOB I CONTINUE TO GO TO THE
OFFICE EVEN THOUGH THE RUBY
PULMONOLOGIST AT IT WITH RICKY.
THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH AND I WAS
FIRED AGAIN. I WAS FIRED TWICE
IN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF MY
DAUGHTER'S LIFE. BECAUSE I LOVE
AND CARE FOR HER. I DID
EVERYTHING THAT WAS ASKED TO
MEET BOTH OF THESE JOBS. I WENT
ABOVE AND BEYOND TO BE ABLE TO
WORK AND ALL THAT HAVE PROPER
RELIABLE NURSING CARE FOR
REPEAT. THE MAIN MARKET ARE
HUMANS AS WELL. THAT DOESN'T
MAKE ME ANY LESS DEVOTED TO MY
JOB. TO MAKE MY EMPLOYER IS
MORE LIKELY TO FIRE ME. I HAVE
LEARNED A DIFFICULT LESSON THIS
REVIEW WITH BORING. I WAS SO
HAPPY TO HEAR ABOUT THE BILL
BEING PROPOSED BECAUSE THE BILL
WOULD CHANGE MY LIFE. AND MANY
OTHERS AND SITUATIONS LIKE
MINE. I HOPE THIS STORY HELP
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW NECESSARY.

PERRIN HEAD OR FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES IS IN IN ITS
ANTI DISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS
INCLUDE A REASONABLE
COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS IN
FACT DELAWARE WHICH HAS THE
MOST BROAD DEFINITION OF FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES SIMILAR TO
WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED HERE
EXPLICITLY STATES THAT THERE IS
NO ACCOMMODATION REQUIREMENTS
AND THAT THE ANTI
DISCRIMINATION PROVISION DOES
NOT APPLY. WITH RESPECT TO THE
EMPLOYERS ATTENDANCE AND
ABSENTEEISM STANDARDS FINALLY
EVEN PUTTING A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION PROVISION ASIDE.
THE DEFINITION OF FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES IS PROBABLY.
UNDER THE SPELL. AND A VERY
BOLD LINE BETWEEN NOT
DISCRIMINATE AGAINST SOMEONE
BASED ON THE NEED TO CARE FOR
SOMEONE ELSE. AND WE'RE- A
COMEDY. THERE'S ACTUALLY READ
CAL COURT. IN WHICH THE CAT
COURT NINE. JUDGMENT FOR AN
EMPLOYER UNDER. CLAIM BECAUSE
THE SUPERVISOR DID NOT HONOR
THE EMPLOY SCHEDULE REQUEST TO
HAVE AN EARLIER SHIFT TO BE
HOME ON CERTAIN DAYS TO PROVIDE
CARE FOR A FAMILY MEMBER. THE
COURT CREATED THE DE FACTO
COMBINATION REQUIREMENT EVEN
AFTER DIRECTLY STATING THAT
THERE WAS NO REASONABLE
COMBINATION REQUIREMENT FOR
THAT SCENARIO UNDER THE FAIR
EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING ACT.
SUCH A BROAD DEFINITION OF
FAMILY RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER
THIS PROVISION IS SURE TO
GENERATE SOME MORE CASES WHERE
EMPLOYERS ARE IN ESSENCE
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE
ACCOMMODATION. IF THE GOAL OF
THIS BILL IS TRULY TO ENSURE
THE APPLICANTS ARE NOT BEING
TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THEIR
PARENTS. ARE WORKERS ARE BEING
DENIED PROMOTIONS BECAUSE
THEY'VE BEEN L. RELATIVE TO
CARE FOR THIS BILL REACHES FAR
BEYOND THAT AND IF I COULD DO.
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES THAT
ARE FINANCIALLY DEVASTATED TO
THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY. THAT IS
ALREADY SIGNIFICANTLY SUFFERING
DUE TO COLD IT. FOR THOSE
REASONS WE OPPOSE AB. ELEVEN

STATED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE
FROM CALCHAMBER THANK YOU.
THERE ARE NO FURTHER COMMENTS
IN THE OPPOSITION Q. I THANK
YOU I WILL THEN BRING IT BACK
TO COMMITTEE YOU MAY CLOSE THE
LINES OPERATOR QUESTIONS
COMMENTS. AS DAVID THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISLED- AS STATED
ALREADY THAT THE ON THE LABOR
CODE DOES PROVIDE UP TO FORTY
HOURS LEAVE- FORWARD THAT
DAYCARE SCHOOLS AT AN EXPECTED
A CLOSE AS WELL AS THERE USED
TO A PICK UP. STUDENTS FROM
SCHOOL IF NEED BE- I ALSO HAVE
THE CALIFORNIA FAMILY- RIGHT
ACT AND THAT PROVIDES UP TO
THREE MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
CARE FOR MEDICAL CARE WHICH IS
FANTASTIC IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE
ALWAYS NEEDED. I GUESS MY
CONCERN IS AS A SMALL BUSINESS
OWNER THE POTENTIAL OF-
LITIGATION BEING PUT ON A SMALL
BUSINESSES THERE'S BAD ACTORS
AND THERE'S GOOD ACTORS- BUT WE
HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT THE SMALL
BUSINESSES EMPLOY THESE PEOPLE
AND SO IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO
BE THERE ARE. THE JOBS LEAVE SO
WHAT IS YOUR CONCERN WHAT'S
YOUR THOUGHT ON THAT ON THE
LITIGATION THAT COULD COME UP
THERE SPECIALLY WHEN YOU DON'T
HAVE- A REASONABLE- YOU KNOW
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS WHAT
IS THE DEFINITION OF THAT
THAT'S MY CHILDREN. THANK YOU
THANK YOU YEAH THANK YOU FOR
THE QUESTION FOR **** SO MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE FORTY
HOURS A WEEK OF- DOES NOT APPLY
TO BUSINESSES TWENTY FIVE
EMPLOYEES OR OR BELOW SO I
THINK WE'RE LEAVING OUT A WHOLE
COHORT OF FOLKS THERE- WITH
REGARD TO THE LYTIC LITIGATION-
QUESTION. WE JUST HAVEN'T SEEN
IT IN THIS BILL THAT'S BEEN
PASSED IN OVER TWO HUNDRED
MINUTES OF HOLIDAYS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN-
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
HASTINGS LAW DID SOME RESEARCH
ON THIS AND- AND FOUND I THINK
IN TOTAL THERE WERE SEVENTY ONE
TOTAL LAWSUITS PERTAINING TO
THIS SO. IT'S JUST NOT. AS
PREVALENT I THINK IS THE
CHAMBERS SAYING THAT IT WILL
BE- I ALSO THINK THAT THIS BILL
IS IT'S VERY NARROWLY DEFINED
YOU KNOW IT'S- REQUIRES
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION FOR
THE KNOWN FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES AN APPLICANT
OR EMPLOYEE RELATED TO
OBLIGATIONS ARISING FROM.
NEEDING TO CARE FOR A MINOR
CHILD OR CARE RECIPIENT WHO
SCHOOL OR PLACE OF CARE IS
CLOSED OR OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE
SO IT'S NARROW IN SCOPE- AND
THE LAST THING I'LL SAY WITH
THE FORTY HOURS YOU KNOW THAT
CAN BE USED FOR A LOT OF
DIFFERENT THINGS DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE. STALKING I MEAN
THERE'S A WIDE AGE OF THINGS AS
A SHOULD BE. THIS IS VERY
NARROW AND- THE STRANGER. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR- I REALLY I
THINK I UNDERSTAND PROBABLY
BETTER THAN ANYONE THERE ARE
BETTER THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE-
SITTING UP HERE HOW IMPORTANT
THIS IS I'VE BEEN A SINGLE DAD
NOW FOR- FOURTEEN YEARS IN
EFFECT AS THIS WAS GOING ON MY
DAUGHTER AND I'VE BEEN TEXTING
ABOUT A DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT
THAT WE NEED TO. COMPLETE AND
IT'S OBVIOUSLY VERY IT'S BEEN
VERY DIFFICULT- AND NUMBER THE
SITUATIONS AND THEN SOME THAT
WERE BROUGHT UP HERE HAVE I'VE
PERSONALLY EXPERIENED HOW HARD
THIS IS TO DO- SO. I APPRECIATE
THIS AND I AND I REALLY SEE AND
UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR THIS
ONE OF THE THINGS I DO WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THOUGH IS. A I DO
THINK THAT THE- THERE NEEDS TO
BE CERTAINTY. AND THE
DEFINITIONS NEED TO BE TIGHTLY
DEFINED FOR AN FOR. A NUMBER OF
REASONS. WHETHER IT'S YOU KNOW
FAIRNESS TO SMALL BUSINESSES-
BUT- BUT IN ADDITION IT'S
AVOIDING LITIGATION YOU KNOW.
FOR THE ACTORS OUT THERE AND I
AM REALLY I DO. THINK YOU KNOW
MOST PEOPLE TRY TO ACCOMPLISH
UNDERSTAND YOU KNOW HAVE A-
LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING FOR
SINGLE PARENTS IN PARTICULAR
HOW HARD IT IS- AND EVEN IF
THEY'RE- IN A TWO PARENT. YOU
KNOW SITUATION THEY THEY- THEY
CAN REALLY FIGURE OUT THAT WITH
ONE OF YOU IT'S HARD. SO I
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO
ARE REALLY TRYING TO COMPLY AND
TRYING TO DO RIGHT. UNDERSTAND
WHAT HOW WHAT THE LEGAL
DEFINITION YEP NOT A
COMMONSENSE DEFINITION OF
REASONABLE. BUT A LEGAL
DEFINITION OF REASONABLE AND
THAT'S HARD TO DO SO COULD YOU
GO THROUGH AGAINYOU SAID THIS
IS. SO COULD YOU TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT YOU KNOW QUOTE QUOTE
REASONABLE AND QUOTE YEP. AND
THEN ALSO TALK ABOUT THE SCOPES
OF THE SURE THINGS. YES SO- IT
REQUIRES COME. AND WHICH COULD
BE WORK FROM HOME YOU KNOW
WHICH WAS SORT OF THE EXAMPLE
THAT WAS- THE LAWYER WHO WAS
READING THE STATEMENT RIGHT-
OTHER PEOPLE ARE WORKING FROM
HOME CAN SHE WORK FROM HOME SHE
HAS TO DO SOMETHING WITH HER
CHILD YOU KNOW- IS IT CAN I.
YOU KNOW MY KIDS IN THE SUCH
SEVEN IN HIGH SCHOOL I WOULD
HAVE BOMB THREATS AT MY SCHOOL.
YOU KNOW AND MY MOM HAVE TO
COME PICK ME UP AND IT WOULD BE
AN HOUR OUT OF HER DAY WERE SHE
NEED TO GO DO THAT. SHE WANT TO
TAKE A WHOLE DAY OFF OF WORK IN
ORDER TO DO THAT BUT WANTED TO
USE SOME OF THAT TIME. RIGHT
AND SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE
EXAMPLES SORT OF A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATION. FOR KNOWN FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITIES SO THESE ARE
KNOWN RESPONSIBILITIES OF AN
APPLICANT OR EMPLOYEE RELATED
TO OBLIGATION. ARISING FROM
NEEDED TO CARE FOR A MINOR
CHILD OR CARE RECIPIENT SO
COULD BE AN OLDER PARENT. OR A
DISABLED PERSON IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU YOU CARE FOR ARE NOT
THE PRIMARY CARE GIVER- SCHOOL
OR PLACE OF CARE IS CLOSED OR
OTHERWISE UNAVAILABLE. SO THAT
IS THE NARROW FOCUS OF THE
BILL- IN ADDITION TO THAT- IF
THERE IS UNDUE HARDSHIP TO THE-
EMPLOYER- WHICH IS DEFINED AS
SIGNIFICANT DIFFICULTY OR
EXPENSE. SO FOR INSTANCE IF YOU
WORK AT A SEVEN ELEVEN YOU'RE
THE ONLY EMPLOYEE THERE. AND
SOMETHING HAPPENS THEY HAVE TO
SHUT THE SHOP DOWN IF THEY
CAN'T FIND SOMEONE TO COME IN.
THAT WOULD BE UNDUE HARDSHIP-
WHICH WOULD NOT THEN QUALIFY
FOR THIS AND I AGREE WITH YOU I
THINK MOST EMPLOYERS. YOU KNOW
THEY WANT TO BE ACCOMMODATING
TO THEIR TO THEIR EMPLOYEES AND
I THINK MOST EMPLOYEES WANT TO
DO A GOOD JOB AT THEIR PLACE OF
EMPLOYMENT- BUT THERE ARE
CIRCUMSTANCES IN SOME OF THE
STUDIES THAT I MENTIONED IN MY-
INITIAL STATEMENTS. DO WILL
POINT TO THE FACT THAT WE DO
NEED I THINK TO WRAP HER ARMS A
LITTLE BIT MORE AROUND THIS AND
I'M VERY MINDFUL OF THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY. ESPECIALLY
RIGHT NOW AND DISCOVERED
RECOVERY ERA YOU KNOW AND I'VE
SAT DOWN AND HAD NUMBER OF
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CHAMBER.
I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO AS
WELL AS A SMALL BUSINESS
MAJORITY. YOU KNOW VERY COUNCIL
IN OTHER BUSINESS GROUPS AS
WELL AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL
BUSINESS BUSINESSES I TALK TO.
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO CREATE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCESAND I
AGREE I THINK THAT DEFINITIONS
ARE IMPORTANT AND- SOME MEMBERS
ALSO I CHATTED ABOUT THIS- IN
THE ALASKAN. AND I AND WE WERE
ON SOMEONE- AND I WILL CONTINUE
TO DO SO BECAUSE I DO WANT TO
CREATE A THOUGHTFUL BILL. AND
ON ON SCOPES WOULD SCOPE
INCLUDE AS HARDSHIP FOR
EXAMPLES. IT IN A CERTAIN
PROFESSIONS ENOUGH OR MAYBE A
LAWYER ACCOUNTANT BE EASIER TO
WORK FROM HOME FRIDAY. SEPT THE
SEVEN ELEVEN. SHOP MORE
DISCOURSE. WHAT ABOUT SOME ARE
SORT OF IN THEM WHAT IF YOU
WERE A- MECHANIC LET'S SAY
INTEREST. IS THERE AND THERE
WERE. SEVEN EMPLOYEES GOING
DOWN TO SIX OR SOMETHING YOU
KNOW WHAT. RIGHT WHAT DO YOU DO
SO FOR THAT WHAT'S THE SCOPE
OF. SO I MEAN I THINK IF IT'S A
MECHANIC WHO HAS TO PHYSICALLY
BE THERE. RIGHT AND THAT'S A
JOB THAT REQUIRES A PERSON TO
PHYSICALLY BE THERE. SO THAT
PERSON OBVIOUSLY CAN'T WORK
FROM HOME RIGHT. BUT IF THERE'S
A WAY THAT. YOU KNOW IN A
MOMENT WHERE THEY NEED TWO OR
THREE HOURS TO DEAL WITH
SOMETHING. YOU KNOW CAN THEY
CALL SOMEONE WHO'S OFFERED TO
COMMAND. CAN SOMEONE COVER
THEIR SHIFT. CAN THEY PROVIDE
SOME KIND OF A REASONABLE
ACCOMMODATIONS OF THE PERSON
CAN DEAL. WITH THAT THE SINCE
THE SITUATION AT HAND. OKAY I.
AM THEN I. WILL YOU'RE YOU'RE
GONNA CAN. TO WORK ON SO OF
COURSE YEAH AND I'M A YOU KNOW
AND I'VE TALKED TO THE CHAMBER-
WE HAVEN'T REACHED AN
AGREEMENT. I WILL CONTINUE TO
TALK TO THE CHAMBERS MUCH AS
THEY WANT TO TALK TO ME- THEY
MIGHT GET SICK OF ME BUT I'M
HAPPY TO KEEP CHATTING AND-
AGAIN WITH OTHER BUSINESSES AS
WELL TO SEE IF WE CAN- DO THIS
THE RIGHT WAY. WELL I YOU KNOW
I'M I'M GONNA SAY INDEFINITE
FOR THE SITE. TODAY WE URGE YOU
TO KEEP WORKING ON THE LEGAL
DEFINITION I DON'T WANT TO GET
LOST IN LITIGATE HAVE TO HAVE
THIS BE. JUST BE A TON OF
NEEDLESS. LITIGATION AGAIN HIS
IS SOMETHING THAT. YOU KNOW I
WISH. I COULD HAVE UTILIZED
OVER THE LAST FOURTEEN YEARS
YEAH- BECAUSE IT'S BEEN.
QUALITY CREDIBLY REWARDING
EXPERIENCE FOR ME IT IS
DEFINITELY BAD AND- YOU KNOW
VERY DIFFICULT VERY STRESSFUL-
AND IT'S HARD. IT'S HARD FOR
FAMILY YOU KNOW FOR SINGLE
PARENTS- YOU KNOW WITH KIDS. TO
MANAGE THE EIGHT MILLION THINGS
THAT COME UP BETWEEN SCHOOL
AND- SPORTS OF DOCTORS
APPOINTMENTS OR SOMEBODY
GETTING SICK OR- THINGS AT
SCHOOL IT'S JUST A- IT'S JUST A
TREMENDOUS CHALLENGE WITH ONE
PERSON TRYING TO. IT'S A
TREMENDOUS CHALLENGE WITH TWO
PARENTS. AND ONE IS EVEN MORE
DIFFICULT AND I'VE HAD SIMILAR
SITUATIONS WHICH I MENTIONED IN
MY LAST COMMITTEE. THAT DAY I
HAD A PROBLEM RIGHT- AND WE'RE
LUCKY WE'RE PRIVILEGE RIGHT
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO
AREN'T WHO DON'T HAVE THE SAME
PRIVILEGE THAT WE DO- SO WE'RE
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS THE
RIGHT WAY BUT I DO HEAR THE
CONCERNS AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK ON AND I ALSO WELCOME
FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMITTEE OR
OTHERS WHO. WANT TO KEEP
HELPING ME WORK ON THE BILL.
WOULD JUST LOVE TO STICK IT OUT
OF COMMITTEE TODAY. THANK YOU.
THIS TO JEFF. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH I'LL BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL TODAY- YES I DO- THANK GOD
DOES SOMEBODY DEFINITIONS COULD
BE FINE TUNE A LITTLE BIT MORE
ARE I HAVE A LOT OF US SMALL
BUSINESSES IN MY DISTRICT AND I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BILL
DOESN'T NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEM
OUT AS MUCH HAVE SO I'M HOPING
THAT UP ANYTIME THE BILL
REACHES THE FLOOR I'LL BE ABLE
TO SUPPORT IT AGAIN OKAY THANK
YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU MR
TRUMP. THIS COMES OUT I THANK
YOU FOR WORKING ON THIS IT'S
DEFINITELY IN BETTER SHAPE I
THINK AND THEN WHEN WE SIGN
LABOR- I GUESS I JUST KEEP
COMING BACK TO THINKING ABOUT
COST. ACCOMMODATION AND WHAT
THAT COULD MEAN. I'M A LITTLE
CONCERNED ON NOW. AND I DON'T
MEAN TO DO THIS TO VERY VERY
HONEST I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED.
THAT IT DOES THE ACCOMMODATIONS
AVAILABLE TO. WHITE COLLAR
WORKERS- IS MUCH BROADER THAN I
MEAN YOU'RE EXAMPLES ITSELF
SHOW THAT THE PEOPLE WHO
PROBABLY NEED THIS THE MOST ARE
LEAST LIKELY TO BE ABLE TO
UTILIZE THAT. SO I'M NOT SAYING
THIS IS A WAIT THE APPROACH TO
GO OR NOT BUT- I CAN'T HELP BUT
WONDER IN SOME OF THE THINGS
ARE GETTING CONFUSED AND I
THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
REMIND PEOPLE YOU ABSOLUTELY
CAN TAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE DAY- IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK
WE BROKE THOSE PROTECTIONS THIS
BODY DID IN. TWENTY FOURTEEN I
THINK I'M SO SICK LEAVE YOU
KNOW IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE ALL
EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE DOES
MATTER HOW SMALL. THE EMPLOYER
IS WHICH IS GOOD IT'S FAIR IT'S-
IMPORTANT- AND I WANT PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE THAT RIGHT
RIGHT NOW- IF THEY HAVE ACCRUED
SICK LEAVE. IT'S PROBABLY NOT
ENOUGH ACCRUED SICK LEAVE WHERE
BILL FOR THAT. BUT I'M
WONDERING IF THIS THE
UTILIZATION OF ALREADY- PAID
TIME OFF. TO BE EXPANDED FOR
THIS PURPOSE MIGHT BETTER FIT
IN THAT STATUTE. I THINK YOU
KNOW BECAUSE I THINK WE'RE
TRYING TO. PUT SOMETHING IN A
DIFFERENT STATUTE THAT MAYBE I
I'M STILL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH
JUST A THOUGHT. THAT IT MIGHT
BE THAT WE JUST. COULD EXPAND
THE UTILIZATION OF PAID TIME
OFF THAT WE ARE SURE I MEAN AND
I'M HAPPY TO DEFINITELY LOOK
INTO THAT BECAUSE I THINK. I'M
NOT. MARRIED TO THIS IDEA THAT
HAS TO BE THIS WAY BUT WHAT I
AM FOCUSED ON IS PROVIDING THE
ACCOMMODATION RIGHT SUPER
IMPORTANT SO I'M HAPPY TO TOTAL
TO LOOK INTO THAT- YOU KNOW
MILWAUKEE ELSE WAS THE
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION- AND
SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO SOME
LESSONS LEARNED FROM THEM AS
WELL- SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO
BE AN ONGOING CONVERSATION AND
THIS IS DEFINITELY. LIKE A
NEWER CONCEPT BUT IT ONE THAT'S
BEEN TRIED IN OTHER PLACES SO
WE WANT TO GET IT RIGHT HERE
BUT- I'D BE HAPPY TO LOOK INTO
THAT. I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION IS IT
TOO BROAD BUT IT ALSO ISN'T SO
NARROW THAT IT EXCLUDES.

TRYING IS ANOTHER STUDENT LOAN
BILL TO TRY TO DEAL WITH A VERY
SPECIFIC PROBLEM AND THIS IS.
WHERE SERVICERS AND COLLECTION
AGENCIES ARE UTILIZING THE
COURT SYSTEM AND TAKING
ADVANTAGE. OF INDIVIDUALS THE
THOSE THE STUDENT BORROWERS WHO
ARE NOT VERY SOPHISTICATED AND
DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THE
SYSTEM. SO THEY WILL GO TO
COURT THE SERVICERS AND THE-
THE COLLECTION AGENCIES WILL
WILL GO TO COURT TO SEEK A. A
DECLARATORY RELIEF ON AGAINST
THAT INDIVIDUAL AND THAT
INDIVIDUAL DOESN'T ALWAYS KNOW
ENOUGH TO GO TO COURT TO
RESPOND IT INTO ADEQUATELY
PROTECT THEMSELVES AND ONCE THE
DEFAULT JUDGMENT IS ENTERED
INTO. THANK WESTON'S ABOUT
EVIDENCE DON'T ARRIVE. AND THEY
WILL OFTEN THESE SERVICERS AND
THE COLLECTION AGENCIES WALKING
GOING WITHOUT CLEARLY BEING
EVEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THAT THEY
OWN THE DEBT THAT THEY HAVE A
RIGHT. TO SEEK THE DEATH. AND
SOMEONE WHO PUT IS WILLING AND
UNDERSTANDS HOW TO PUSH BACK IN
THAT EVIDENCE REPROCESS WILL DO
SO AND WOULD POTENTIALLY WIN
AND THIS IS WHAT THE DATA SHOWS
IS SO MANY TIMES THE SERVICERS
AND THESE COLLECTION AGENCIES
REALLY CAN'T EVEN DEMONSTRATE.
THAT THEY OWN THE DEBT BUT ONCE
A DEFAULT JUDGMENT IS ENTERED
INTO THEN THAT BORROWER IS
SEVERELY NEGATIVELY IMPACTED
AND REALLY DOESN'T HAVE
RECOURSE ALL THIS BILL DOES
IT'S AN EVIDENCE BILL. IS ASKS
THAT IN THESE CASES THAT THE-
STUDENT SERVICER OR THE DEBT
COLLECTION AGENCY DEMONSTRATE
AFFIRMATIVELY THAT THE ON THE
DEBT THAT THEY CAN IDENTIFY.
THE STUDENT LOAN BORROWER. IN
IN THEN IF THE DEFAULT JUDGMENT
IS ENTERED INTO THE IT IS A
MUCH MORE PROPER. SITUATION AND
WE'VE OVERCOME THE EVIDENTIARY

COMBINATION THE LACK OF LEGAL
COUNSEL AND THE ABUSE OF
CALIFORNIA COURT AGREED
UNMITIGATED DISASTER FOR THE
MOST VULNERABLE BORROWERS TOO
MANY OF HIM DISCOVER AFTER THE
FACT THAT THEIR WAGES WERE
GARNISHED FOR DEBT THAT WERE
UNDOCUMENTED. OR INVALID. I THE

DRIVERS OF THESE ABUSES ARE NOT
CALIFORNIA BANKS. AND THEY'RE
NOT CALIFORNIA CREDIT UNIONS.

PIERCE ROBIN SMITH- THE PHONE

AFTERNOON MY NAME IS ROBIN
SMITH I AM A SENIOR ATTORNEY AT
THE LEGAL AID FOUNDATION OF LOS
ANGELES I HAVE BEEN
REPRESENTING BORROWERS AND
PRIVATE STUDENT LOAN COLLECTION
ACTION SIX TWENTY THIRTEEN
DURING THE TIME I HAVE HANDLED
MULTIPLE CASES INVOLVING MANY
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLAINTIFFS
INCLUDING SECURITIZED LOAN
TRUST LIKE THE NATIONAL
COLLEGIATE AND NAVEEN STUDENT
LOAN TRACKER. THAT FIRED AND
INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT
GUARANTEE PAYMENTS ON DEFAULTED
LOANS A COLLECTION OF PIECES WE
HAVE SEEN ARE COMMON AMONG ALL
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PLANS
THAT LAPTOP YOU WILL SUPPORT
EIGHTY TWENTY FOUR FOUR TWENTY
FOUR WHICH WILL PREVENT PRIVATE
STUDENT LOAN HOLDERS FROM
ABUSING THE JUDICIAL PROCESS BY
FILING DEBT COLLECTION LAWSUITS
WHEN THEY LACK THE MOST BASIC
EVIDENCE NECESSARY TO MAKE A
PRIMA FACIE CASE FOR BREACH OF
WRITTEN CONTRACT. I WILL SHARE
CHIU BRIEF STORY ILLUSTRATES
THE HARM THAT WOULD BE
PREVENTED BY EIGHTY FOUR TWENTY
FOUR AND I CHANGED THE NAME FOR
THEIR CONFIDENTIALITY WITH ALL
RESIDENTS THINK OF MOTHERS
ACCORDING TO THE CHILDREN BUT A
LOW WAGE JOB IN TWENTY SIXTEEN
A DEFAULT JUDGMENT AT THIRTY
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS WAS
ENTERED AGAINST HER FOR PRIVATE
STUDENT LOAN SHE OBTAINED IN
TWO THOUSAND SEVEN. EVEN THOUGH
THE PLAINTIFFS LACK OF THE
EVIDENCE THAT IT OWNED AND HAD
A RIGHT TO COLLECT ON THE LOT
MS OPERATES CONTACTED OUR
OFFICE FOR HELP BECAUSE HER
EMPLOYER HAD BEEN GARNISHING
25% OF HER DISPOSABLE PAPER
OVER TWO YEARS AND AS A RESULT
SHE WAS STRUGGLING TO PAY HER
RENT AND OTHER BASIC LIVING
EXPENSES. WE DISCOVERED THAT
HER EMPLOYER HAD APPLIED THE
INCORRECT GARNISHMENT FORMULA
AND A LEGALLY GARNISHED OVER
NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS WHY WE
WERE ABLE TO GET THIS AMOUNT
REFUNDED IN TOP OVER
GARNISHMENT. ALVAREZ'S WAGES
MAY STILL BE GARNISHED BECAUSE
OUR PAYMENTS ARE NOT LIKELY TO
COVER THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE
AND THEN THE CREWS THAT WILL
GROW EVEN AFTER WAGES ARE
GARNISHED SHE CANNOT DISCHARGE
THE DEBT THROUGH THE STATE OF
BANKRUPTCY EITHER SHE BASICALLY
HAD NO OPTION. TO PREVENT THE
GARNISHMENT IN THE FUTURE. IN
ANOTHER CASE INTO THAT SIX IS
BEING UPDATES TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR PRICE STUDENT. WITH A-
PERCENT ANNUAL PER. RATE FROM A
BANK TO. HOW WHICH WERE CO
SIGNED BY HER MY- IS BEING
ENTER MY ARE LOW INCOME AT.
AMERICAN WOMEN WHO HAVE NEVER
MADE ANY PAYMENTS ON THE LOAN
AND THEY COULD NOT AFFORD THEM
AND NO AFFORDABLE PAYMENT
OPTIONS ARE OFFERED. TWELVE
YEARS LATER BOTH MEN BAILEY AND
HER MOTHER WERE SERVED WITH A
COMPLAINT. FILED BY A PRIVATE
STUDENT LOAN TRANCHE. THINKING
DAMAGES THE FORTY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT.
WE REPRESENTED BOTH OF THEM AND
ASSERTED VERY DEFENSIVE
INCLUDING STATUTES OF
LIMITATIONS AND THE PLAINTIFFS
LACK OF STANDING DUE TO ITS
INABILITY TO PROVE THAT IT HAD
BEEN A FIND THE INDIVIDUAL UP.
AFTER WE SERVE EXPENSIVE
DISCOVERY UNNOTICED THE
DEPOSITION. OF PLAINTIFF
DISMISSED A LOT THEY- AND THE-
DAMAGE EIGHT TWENTY IT'S
CRUCIAL TO ENSURING THAT LOW
INCOME BORROWERS MOST OF WHOM
ARE UNABLE TO OBTAIN LEGAL
REPRESENTATION. DO NOT FACE A
LIFETIME OF WAGE GARNISHMENT TO
TAKE TO PAY OFF DEFAULT
JUDGMENTS FOR DEBT THEY DO NOT
LEGALLY OUT. FOR THESE REASONS
