WILLING TO TAKE THIS OUT OF
ORDER BRIEFLY THIS IS AB EIGHT
OH EIGHT WHICH IS A CHILDREN'S
CRISIS CONTINUUM. PILOT PROGRAM
OPEN WORKING ON THE CONTINUE OF
CARE REFORM SINCE TWO THOUSAND
AND FIFTEEN. AND WHAT HAS
ARISEN REALLY SENSE THAT IN
THIS IS BEEN AN ISSUE THAT
WE'VE IDENTIFIED AND HAVE NOT
ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED. INSURING
THAT WE HAVE CAPACITY WITHIN
THE STATE TO DEAL WITH KIDS
WITH ALL LEVEL OF NEEDS. AND
UNTIL LAST DECEMBER THERE WAS A
SMALL COHORT BUT IMPORTANT
COHORT THAT WE WERE SENDING OUT
OF STATE. AND BECAUSE THE SS
NEEDED TO DE CERTIFY ALL OF
THOSE OUT OF STATE PROGRAMS
THEY WERE BROUGHT BACK AND I
WANT TO THANK DSS AND THE
COUNTY'S. OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
FOR WORKING TO MAKE SURE THOSE
KIDS WERE. APPROPRIATELY PLACED.
BUT THAT A FORTY STILL EXISTS
AND POTENTIALLY THAT NEED.
MIGHT ARISE AGAIN AND I THINK
WE NEED TO TAKE A HARD LOOK. AT
INSURING WE HAVE THAT CAPACITY
IN CALIFORNIA. TO DEAL WITH ALL
THOSE KIDS. PRECLUDING THE NEED
TO SEND THEM OUT OF STATE WHICH
IS SOMETHING. FROM MY
STANDPOINT I THINK WE SHOULD
NOT BE DOING. ANY MORE. HELLO
SO WHAT AB EIGHT AWAIT DOES IS
IT CREATES. A MORE INTENSIVE
SET OF POTENTIAL SERVICES. HEY
CHRIS STABILIZATION UNIT.
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AND THE
ABILITY TO QUICKLY AND
APPROPRIATELY STEP DOWN THE
SERVICES AS THE KIDS NEEDS ARE
MET WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE CHILDREN. AND
THAT THEY ARE GETTING THEIR
NEEDS MET WHATEVER THEY ARE.
AND SOMETIMES WE CLASSIFY KIDS
IS HIGH NEED. AND NOT
NECESSARILY ABLE TO ADDRESS
ACTUALLY THE NEEDS OF THE
CHILDREN AND THAT'S THAT'S THE
PIECE THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE. SO
THE TO. OUR YOUTH ARE GETTING
IN THERE NEEDS MET. AND WE HAVE
A SYSTEM THAT CAN RSPOND.
ADEQUATELY THROUGHOUT ALL
COUNTIES AND ADEQUATELY
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. THAT'S
WHAT AB EIGHT OH EIGHT IS
ABOUT. AND WE ARE STILL.
WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS ON IT
AND WITH THE DEPARTMENT AND
WITH THE SPONSORS OF THIS BILL
TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT OUR
APPROACH IS CORRECT. AND THAT
WE ARE REALLY BUILDIN THAT
SYSTEM FOR THE NEEDS OF THE
CHILDREN AND I CANNOT
UNDERSCORE. HOW IMPORTANT THAT
PARTICULAR COMPONENT ULTIMATELY

STRUGGLING AND WE IDENTIFIED AS
A AS A REAL PROBLEM- THE FACT
IT THE DEAD IN ORDER TO THE
JUNK WE WERE SENDING THEM OUT
OF HELLO COM CARE FACILITY
INSTEAD OF HAVING WE NEEDED IN
THE STATE TO SERVE UP. SO WE'VE
BEEN WORKING BOTH- THAT
COMMITTEE IT'S THE CHILD CAN
MIDDLE HEALTH- CAN AND WOULD
STAY COLD AROUND THE STATE IDEA
DIFFERENT WAY OF DOING THIS
WE'VE MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS
IN THE STATE AND THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF WRAPAROUND
MANY YEARS AGO TO SEE IF YOU
ARE MORE RECENTLY AND WE'VE WE
WERE GETTING VERY CLOSE TO
HAVING A SYSTEM THAT CAN HELP
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES THROUGH
THEIR MOST DIFFICULT TIMES WITH
WRAPAROUND AT THE CENTER OF
THAT. AND MORE RECENTLY USING A
SYSTEM OF EXPEDITED TRANSITION
THAT HELPED TO BRING FAR MORE
KIDS HOME RATHER THAN MOVING
THEM INTO CONTINUE CONGREGATE
SETTINGS THAT BEING SAID
THERE'S A GAP IN CALIFORNIA
THAT GAP IS REALLY- A
SIGNIFICANT AND IT KEEPS YOUNG

DO YOU HAVE ANYONE IT ON THE
LINE IN OPPOSITION OPERATOR.
CHAU OPPOSITION FOR AB. EIGHT
SIX EIGHT PLEASE PRESS ONE
FOLLOWED BY ZERO. ONE FOLLOWED
BY ZERO FOR OPPOSITION TO AB
EIGHT SIX EIGHT. AND NOBODY IS
QUEUING UP AT THIS TIME THANK
YOU OPERATOR AND THERE'S NO
OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM AND
THERE'S NO OPPOSITION IN THE VW
OUR ROOM- ARE THERE ANY
QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR MISTER
GIBSON- I THINK THIS IS A- WELL
THOUGHT OUT A PIECE OF
LEGISLATION POLICY- I THINK
THAT AGAIN- WE TALK ABOUT FIFTY
FIVE. THOUSAND CALIFORNIANS WHO
LOST THEIR LIVES TO THIS
PANDEMIC AND IT'S ONLY THE TIME
WHEN THERE'S A PANDEMIC- THEY
WANT TO PROVIDE SOME HELP TO
THOSE TO BURY- INDIVIDUALS- I
THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE
SHOULD BE DOING IT'S MAKING
SURE THAT PEOPLE ARE TAKING
CARE OF- I KNOW A LOT OF
PEOPLE- IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY
WHO JUST DIDN'T HAVE MONEY. WHO
THIS PANDEMIC- HAS TAKEN THEM
OUT AND THEIR FAMILIES WISH
THEY COULD- BURY THEM BUT THEY
HAD TO DO RESERVE RIVER REVERT
TO- BEING CREMATED- AND SO I
THINK THAT IF IN FACT THE
FAMILY WANTS TO LAY SOMEONE TO
REST DURING A PANDEMIC WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME
ASSISTANCE AND I THINK THIS IS
CERTAINLY A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION- HOPE THE AUTHOR
WOULD. INCLUDE ME AS A CO
AUTHOR OF THE BILL. YES TENNIS
DAVIS I THINK INTERESTED- I
WILL BE SUPPORTING BILL I JUST
HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS- ONE CAN
APPLY FOR THE EXPENSE
ASSISTANCE IS FAMILY FRIENDS.
AND THE SECOND ONE IS- THIS IS
FOR LOW INCOME FAMILIES OR CAN
ANYONE APPLY FOR THIS
ASSISTANCE SORT OF SO THE
PROGRAM WILL BE FOCUSED ON LOW
INCOME FAMILIES WERE LOOKING AT
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA IS
UTILIZING. THRESHOLDS LIKE- THE
CALIFORNIA PROGRAM THAT- REALLY
TAKES A GOOD- ENCOMPASSING- I
GUESS BURKE- SECTOR OF THE LOW
INCOME FAMILIES IN CALIFORNIA
SO THAT'S ONE OF THE GREAT
TEARS WERE LOOKING AT. A
DEPARTMENT SOCIAL SERVICES WILL
WORK WITH US TO ESTABLISH THAT-
SO THAT'S WHO IS ELIGIBLE IN
TERMS OF WHO CAN ASK FOR THE
REIMBURSEMENT. IT IS ANYONE WHO
HAS THE ACTUAL. INVOICE RIGHT
THE TICKET THAT SAYS YOU KNOW
WE PAID FOR- AT THE FUNERAL
COST- FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WHO
LOST HER LIFE. IN THIS CASE TO
CALL IT AND- THEY CAN BE
REIMBURSED UP TO FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS. AND OR THE DIFFERENCE
THAT MAY BE REMAINING- THAT
SHOULD BE PAID DIRECTLY TO A
FUNERAL HOME HOW TO COVER THE
EXPENSES- WE'RE HOPING TO
UTILIZE. SIMILAR FRAMEWORKS
THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR THE
PURPOSE OF SERVICES WHERE LOCAL
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS HELP
FACILITATE. THE PROCESS MAKING
IT EASIER- OBTAIN. AND THEY'RE
ORGANIZATIONS THAT PEOPLE IN
THE COMMUNITY- FEEL COMFORTABLE
CONFIDENT- WORKING WITH- SO
HOPEFULLY THAT ANSWERS YOUR
QUESTION IT DOESN'T I JUST I
JUST WANT TO. MAKE A COMMENT I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE OBVIOUSLY
THAT THIS IS- THIS IS
DEFINITELY GONNA BE BENEFICIAL.
BUT SADLY THERE'S ALWAYS FRAUD
AND WE LOOK AT EIGHTY D. AND
HOW MUCH MONEY WE LOST THERE I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE
REALLY PUT IN SOME SAFETY-
GUIDELINES HERE THAT YOU KNOW
THEY'RE REALLY CHECKING JUST
MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS LEGIT.
AND YOU KNOW AND IN THIS
NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN YOU
KNOW ONE PARTY TO ANOTHER PARTY
THAT'S THAT'S ALL I ASK.
ABSOLUTELY YOU KNOW GOT
DOCUMENTS THAT WILL BE.
REQUIRED IN ALL CERTIFICATES OF
DEATH YOU KNOW FROM THE LOCAL
COUNTY AGAIN IN A PAPERWORK
FROM A. FUNERAL HOME OR THE
EXPENSES WERE MADE. AND OTHER.
LESS OF YOU KNOW KIND OF
BACKSTOP THAT WE'RE WANTED TO
MAKE SURE- PROVIDE THAT
CERTAINTY THAT THE RIGHT
PEOPLE. ARE RECEIVING THE MONEY
AND WE KNOW THAT- THE BILL.
WILL ALSO ESTABLISHED A PROGRAM
FOR FUTURE EMERGENCIES
CALIFORNIA IS FACED WITH A
HANDFUL OF OTHER. CIRCUMSTANCES
WHERE WE NEED TO DECLARE
EMERGENCIES WHETHER IT BE AN
EARTHQUAKE. AND NOT JUST
PROPERTY BUT LIFE IS LOST AS
WELL AS SOME FIRES WHERE WE'VE
SEEN OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS-
UNFORTUNATELY ECONOMICALLY
CHALLENGED FAMILIES HAVE BEEN
IMPACTED BY THAT AS WELL SO.
THE QUESTION THANK YOU. DR CHOI
DID YOU HAVE QUESTIONS YEAH. I
THINK THIS QUESTION SO TOUCHED
UPON BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
THE- THE ELIGIBILITY IS- DID
YOU SAVE HALF OF FOR THOSE OF
THOSE WHO RECEIVING CALFRESH-
OR ANYBODY CAN APPLY FOR THIS.
THIS THIS ONE QUESTION FOR ALL
CERTIFIED WE ARE LOOKING AT THE
CALFRESH CRITERIA. AS THE
ELIGIBILITY. TO ENCOMPASS THE
LOW OR VERY LOW INCOME FAMILIES
OF CALIFORNIA IN THIS CASE WHO
HAVE BEEN IMPACTED. BY COPA
NINETY YEAH IF THAT'S THE CASE
AS I UNDERSTAND EACH KALLONI-
IT HAS- WELL MOSTLY PROGRAMS A
FOUR ENGINE PEOPLE FOR FINLAND
EXPENSES. AND THE MOST OF THE
EXPENSES WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF.
THUS OF MY UNDERSTANDING IF
THAT'S THE CASE IT ISN'T IS SO
REDUNDANT UNNECESSARY. NO
DOCTOR THERE IS NO KNOWN
PROGRAM THAT ENCOMPASSES THE
ENTIRE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THAT
WOULD PROVIDE A FUNERAL
ASSISTANCE EXPENSES ARE
REIMBURSEMENTS- THAT WE KNOW OF
NOW THERE ARE PLACES THAT HAVE
DECIDED TO USE THEIR FEDERAL
FUNDING- THROUGH CARES ACT TO
ACTUALLY PROVIDE THIS TYPE OF
ASSISTANCE OTHERS HAVE USED IT
FOR OTHER- ESSENTIAL NEEDS OF
THE POPULATION THAT THEY SERVE-
I KNOW OF COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
USING THEIR DOLLARS- TO PROVIDE
FUNERAL ASSISTANCE I KNOW
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE PROVIDED
HERE WILL PAY. AS TO UTILIZE
THOSE FEDERAL FUNDS SO YOU MAY
BE REFERRING TO CERTAIN PLACES
IN THE STATE WHERE THEY MAY BE
DOING THIS TYPE OF PROGRAM BUT
THERE IS NO STATEWIDE PROGRAM
THAT WOULD BE PERMANENTLY
ESTABLISHED IN THE SOCIAL
SERVICES DEPARTMENT FOR
PURPOSES OF THIS DECLARED
EMERGENCY OUR FUTURE DECLARED
EMERGENCIES AND THAT'S THE
INTENT. OF THE BILL. AND I GET
THE IMPRESSION THIS IS
RETROACTIVE FOR ANYONE WHO- IT
HAD TO. FAMILIES THAT FLED DUE
TO A CORVETTE NINETEEN- SO
OBVIOUSLY DISORDER- CALL VOTE
TO PASS THE- CARISSA AND THE
LAWS OF MOVING FOR. IS THE
TRUTH MARCH FOURTH TWO THOUSAND
TWENTY IS WHEN THE GOVERNOR
DECLARED THE STATE OF EMERGENCY
AND SO THAT'S THE BEGINNING UP
UNTIL THE POINT WHERE HE SAYS
WE ARE NO LONGER IN THIS
EMERGENCY INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE
PASSED THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS
WILL BE ABLE TO APPLY AND IF
ELIGIBLE RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT
FOR THE COST. CHAU WILL ORDER
WITH HIS CONTINUING WEST ALONG
AS AS SOMEBODY DEFINING SAID
THAT THAT WAS A CONNECTED TO
CALL THE NINETEEN THEN THE OLD
PALATABLE NOT BASED UPON THEIR
INCOME SO D. THEY WILL BE
ELIGIBLE BASED ON INCOME RIGHT
AND WE'RE SAYING LOW INCOME AND
I'LL AGAIN REITERATE THE
CALFRESH CRITERIA IS WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT HIGHS DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE CAUGHT TIED TO COFFEE
NINETEEN DEATHS SO SPECIFICALLY
THIS EMERGENCY IS COVER
NINETEEN- POST CODE NINETEEN IT
MAY BE AN EARTHQUAKE. THAT
CAUSES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
LOSS OF LIFE IN YOUR AREA OF MY
AREA THAT IS PRONE TO
EARTHQUAKES- AND THEN THE
GOVERNOR WOULD DECLARE STATE OF
EMERGENCY HE WOULD THEN NEED TO
FUND THE PROGRAM AND THEN
PEOPLE WILL BECOME ELIGIBLE
FOR. THIS PROGRAM BUT WHEN THIS
EMERGENCY ENDS THE PROGRAM ENDS
AND IF SO ANYTHING GOVERNOR
DECLARES SO DECLARATION OF.
EMERGENCY WATER ENTITLED. YEAH
SIR SO THE MINUTE THAT THE
GOVERNOR DECLARED A STATE
EMERGENCY. AND WE GAVE EXAMPLES
EARTHQUAKES- FIRES ANOTHER
PANDEMIC GOD FOR BID WE DON'T
HAVE TO SEE THAT AGAIN BUT-
THEN THE PROGRAM WILL NEED TO
BE FUNDED. AND THEN PEOPLE CAN
BEGIN TO APPLY. HAVE YOU HAD
ANY IDEA OF- FROM THE PAST-
RECORD TELEPHONE SUCH.
EMERGENCY RELATED TASKS IN THE
FUTURE WHAT THE COSTS WILL ALL
FALL INTO SPEEDY TO COST WOULD
BE. NO SIR WE HAVEN'T. THANK
YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE TO
SOME OF HER LOOK I ATE GOOD
QUESTIONS FROM FROM ALL OF THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I APPRECIATE
BEING ABLE TO EXPAND A BIT ON
WHAT THE PURPOSE OF THE BILL IS
AND DOES AND I THINK IT
DEMONSTRATES A HIGH LEVEL OF
COMPASSION BY LEADERSHIP IN
CALIFORNIA ACKNOWLEDGING THE
IMPACT THAT COVER NINETEEN IS
HAD ON ON POOR PEOPLE AND- IT
SADDENS ME TO SEE THAT
FAMILIES. HAVE TO STILL YOU
KNOW SUFFERED NOT ONLY THE JOB
LOSS AND ALL OF THE OTHER
BURDENS THAT ARE COME FROM IT
AND NOW IT'S A DEATH WHERE THEY
CAN'T RESPECTFULLY LAY THEIR
LOVED ONE TO REST- YOU KNOW YOU
SEE CANS AT THE GOT THE STORY
C. CAR WASHES HAPPENING HERE'S
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CALIFORNIA
TO DO. THE RIGHT THING AND BE
ABLE TO HELP OUR LOW VERY LOW
INCOME FAMILIES BURY THEIR
LOVED ONES THANK YOU AND
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR APPLE.
THANK YOU SOME REMEMBER. TO
HAVE A MOTION. WHICH THE SECOND.
YEAH THE MOTION IS TO PASS TO
THE ASSEMBLY BUSINESS AND
PROFESSIONS COMMITTEE CALDERON
AYE CALDERON AYE DAVIES DAVIES
I ARAMBULA ARAMBULA I'D CHOI
THE FOURTEENTH CHINA VOTING
GIPSON. GIPSON ICE DOWN STONE
ARAMBULA WHO DON'T. LORD LORD I.
SIX THE VOTER SIXTIES ERA THANK
YOU. OKAY AND SOME WOMEN
GRAYSON ARE YOU READY 2% ON AB.
FOUR SEVEN NINE. OKAY. MISTER
GRIFFIN. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND I DO
WANT TO- ACKNOWLEDGE AND
RECOGNIZE THE SPECIAL WORK- THE
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE STAFF HAVE
BEEN SO KIND OF- AND INVITE
SOME GUIDANCE TO THAT YOU HAVE
PROVIDED AND IF THIS BILL WAS
TO MOVE FORWARD I LOOK FORWARD
TO YOUR CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT. I
AM PLEASED TO PRESENT TO YOU AB
FOUR SEVENTY NINE WHICH AUTHORS
A PERSON TO APPLY TO BE A
FAMILY CHILD CARE SECONDARY
LICENSEE FOR A PRIMARY LICENSEE
AND REQUIRES THAT A SECONDARY
LICENSEE TO MEET ALL LICENSE
ARE REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLES TO
A LICENSEE EXCEPT THE
REQUIREMENT TO RESIDE IN THE
HOME IN WHICH THE FAMILY CHILD
CARE HOME IS OPERATED. FAMILY
CHILD CARE HOMES ARE A CRITICAL
AND VITAL SERVICE FOR FAMILIES
AND LIKE CHILD CARE CENTERS
THAT OPERATE IN COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS FAMILY CHILD CARE
HOMES ARE OPERATED IN
INDIVIDUALS RESIDENTIAL HOME
MAKING THEM MORE ACCESSIBLE TO
THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF
LOCATION MOST WORKING PARENTS
SELECTOR CHILD CARE PRIMARILY
BECAUSE OF LOCATION AND COST
FOR INSTANCE SINGLE WORKING
MOTHERS WHO DO NOT HAVE EASILY
ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION GOING
TO WORK AND ALSO FINDING WAYS
TO TRANSPORT THEIR CHILD TO A
CHILD CARE FACILITY AND BACK
CAN PROVE TO BE A HUGE
CHALLENGE AND BARRIER TO
ACCESS. HOWEVER IF THERE IS A
FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME
AVAILABLE AND OPEN DIRECTLY
WITHIN HER NEIGHBORHOOD SHE IS
ABLE TO ACCESS QUALITY CARE AND
STILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
WORK WHILE THE STATE HAS
INCREASED INVESTMENTS INTO THE
CHILD CARE SYSTEM CALIFORNIA'S
LICENSED FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME
HAS BEEN A STEADY DECLINE HAS
BEEN A STEADY DECLINE SINCE TWO
THOUSAND NINE AND THIS DECLINE
HAS ONLY BEEN EXASPERATED
EXASPERATED BY THE DEVASTATING
IMPACT OF COVERT NINETEEN. THIS
IS ESPECIALLY TROUBLING BECAUSE
FAMILY CHILD CARE HOMES ARE
MORE LIKELY TO OFFER FLEXIBLE
HOURS OF CARE AND ARE MORE
AFFORDABLE THAN CENTER BASED
CARE ASSISTING WORKING FAMILIES
THAT ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE
ENDS MEET. SINCE MARCH OF
TWENTY TWENTY FINANCIAL LOSSES
AND HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS
HAVE FORCED MORE THAN TWO
THOUSAND FAMILY CHILD CARE
HOMES TO CLOSE PERMANENTLY.
FURTHER INCREASING THE GAP IN
THE NEED FOR CHILD CARE AND THE
AVAILABILITY OF CHILD CARE
SLOTS AB FOUR SEVENTY NINE
SEEKS TO ADDRESS THE DECLINING
FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME SUPPLY.
AND THE RAPIDLY INCREASING GAP
OF AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE
CHILD CARE SLOTS. BY CREATING A
SECONDARY LICENSEE THIS WILL
ALLOW QUALIFIED CHILD CARE
PROVIDERS TO BE PAIRED WITH
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE ABLE TO
PROVIDE THE NECESSARY OPERATING
SPACE. THIS WILL CREATE GREATER
FLEXIBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR
THOSE CHOOSING TO- WORK AS A
CHILD CARE PROVIDER WHO MEET
LICENSE ARE REQUIREMENTS BUT DO
NOT HAVE THE RESIDENTIAL SPACE.
TO OPERATE A CHILD CARE HOME
ULTIMATELY AB FOUR SEVENTY NINE
WILL IMPROVE ACCESS TO CHILD
CARE QUALITY OR QUALITY CHILD
CARE AND EARLY EDUCATION BY
FILLING THE GAP IN CHILD CARE
PROVIDERS WITHIN LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. BY INCREASING THE
FAMILY CHILDCARE HOME SUPPLY
WITHIN UNDERSERVED
NEIGHBORHOODS AND AIMS TO
CHILD CARE SYSTEM. I WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY
STAFF AND I HAVE SPOKEN WITH
COMMITTEE STAFF AND VARIOUS
CHILD CARE PROVIDER
STAKEHOLDERS AND ARE AWARE
THERE ARE CONCERNS. WITH THE
BILL AND CURRENT LANGUAGE I
HAVE MADE COMMITMENTS TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE BILL AS
IT MOVES FORWARD THROUGH THE
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. TO ENSURE
THAT WE INCLUDE AMENDMENTS THAT
ALL IMPACTED PARTIES CAN AGREE
UPON WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO
INTRODUCE MY WITNESS. JIM
MILLER. OFTEN LEAVE EXECUTIVE.

DEVELOPMENT- THERE HAD BEEN
CLOSED WITH THE FAMILY
CHILDCARE HOME DUE TO THE FACT

MOSTLY SENIOR PROVIDERS WILL

OF TRANSMISSION OF CALL THE
NINETEEN ARE YOU ALSO HAVE
THOSE PROVIDERS WHO ARE JUST
AFRAID OF COLD IN NINETEEN AND
DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN CONTACT

PROVIDER FOR A MONTH UNTIL I
STARTED THINKING ABOUT. HOW
MUCH CLOSER WAS AFFECTING THE
CHILDREN WHO WERE NO LONGER IN

TAKE THE FAMILY AND THE HOME

PART ONE PRINTER TO HAVE ANYONE
ELSE ALIVE ONE SEVENTY SEVEN.
YES ONE SEVENTY SEVEN PLEASE GO
AHEAD. HI MY NAME'S KAREN
KOEHLER AND I'M FROM CREATIVE
JOURNEYS- FAMILY HEALTHCARE IN
CALIFORNIA AND I OPPOSE THIS
BILL FOR THE FACT THAT IT DOES
NOTHING TO PROTECT. THE CURRENT
PUBLIC CHILD CARE PROVIDERS IT
OPENS THAT UP TO A LOT OF
LIABILITY. AND IT DOESN'T STOP
ANYBODY FROM HOLDING MORE THAN-
ONE NIGHT. OR ONE SECONDARY
LICENSE IT DOESN'T PROTECT THE
CHILDREN IN OUR CARE IT DOESN'T
PROTECT THE FAMILIES IN OUR
CARE AND I AFTER DUE TO VOTE NO
ON THIS BILL. THANK YOU.
OPERATOR TO EVERYONE ELSE ON
THE LINE IN OPPOSITION. WE HAVE
NO FURTHER COMMENT AT THE TIME
THREE THANK YOU AND WE HAVE NO
OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM- DO WE
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE
AUTHOR. SOMEONE IN CHOI.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GRAYSON I THINK
I REALLY UNDERSTAND THE INTENT
OF THE APPEAL TO MAKE A MORE
CHILD CARE FACILITIES AVAILABLE
BECAUSE OF ALWAYS- FROM MY
EXPERIENCE A SHORTAGE OF POOR
CHILD CARE CENTERS. EVEN THOUGH
INTENT IS GOOD BUT THE- I READ
THAT THE ANALYSIS A VERY
CAREFULLY AND- I HAVE SEVERAL
QUESTIONS- SINCE AT THIS BILL
IS TO ALLOW FAMILY TAKE CARE.
OF FACILITY WITHOUT HAVING TO
LEAVE IN THAT HOME. SO THAT IS
SO IF I WAS CO HOMEOWNER-
OPERATING AND THAT MEANS I CAN-
RAN TEN AS THE HOUSE. TICKETS
ARE ON OUR OWN LEVY IN THAT
pTHIRD ONE FOURTH ONE. IS THAT
THE ALLOWABLE RESELLERS YOU ARE
REFERRING AS A SECONDARY I
SINCE NO SIR. SO THE WAY IT
WOULD WORK IS- AND THIS WOULD
ALSO ANSWER ONE OF THE
OPPOSITION COMMENTS IS THERE IS
NO TRANSFER OF LICENSE. THE
PRIMARY LICENSEE HAS TO BE THE
HOMEOWNER THAT LIVES IN THE
HOME SO WHAT WE DON'T WANT AND
THIS IS WHERE WE EED TO.
TIGHTEN UP LANGUAGE AND WE'RE
WORKING WITH LEAD COUNSEL IN
WITH- WITH OPPOSITION WHO
STATED THEY WERE WORKING WITH
US AS WELL AS THIS COMMITTEE-
BUT WHAT WE DON'T WANT AS
CORPORATIONS COMING IN IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS. AND JUST OPENING
UP A BUNCH OF DAYCARES UNDER A
CORPORATE NAME SO YOU HAVE TO
BE A PRIME A PRIMARY LICENSEE
HAS TO BE THE RESIDENT OF THE
HOME. OR OWNER OF THE HOME AND
A RESIDENT OF THE HOME THE
DIFFERENCE IS RIGHT NOW IT
REQUIRES IF- IF YOU'RE A PRIME
IF YOU'RE THE LICENSEE IT
REQUIRES YOU TO BE THERE 80% OF
THE TIME AND ACCORDING TO
RULES- THAT BAKER CAN ONLY BE
CLOSED LEGITIMATELY FOR TWO
WEEKS OUT OF THE YEAR. SO WHAT
THIS DOES IS IT DOES ALLOW A
HOMEOWNER WHO POSSIBLY HAS A
JOB. BUT THEY HAVE OPEN SPACE.
THE HOME AND THEY POSSIBLY KNOW
SOMEONE THAT'S IN THE CHILD
CARE FIELD WANTS TO ENTER THE
CHILD CARE FOR OF. THAT LIVE
SOMEWHERE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE
THE SPACE. THAT HOMEOWNER WOULD
BE THE PRIMARY LICENSEE THEY
COULD BRING AND THAT PERSON
THAT USES THEIR HOME DURING THE
DAY IS A DAY CARE. BUT THEIR
LICENSEES A SECONDARY LICENSE
HE IS SUBJECT TO THE PRIMARY
LICENSEE ALL LIABILITY. ALL ALL
INSPECTIONS. ALL REGULATORY
POLICY EVERYTHING FALLS ON THE
PRIMARY LICENSEE WHO LIVES AT
THE HOME AND WHO OWNS THE
PROPERTY. AND THEN IF THAT'S
THE CASE OF WHAT'S THE
DIFFERENCE A BIT OF BETWEEN. I
COULDN'T USED THE TERM AS A MY
EMPLOYEE HIRED THAT PERSON.
RATHER THAN SECONDARY PERSON
HAVING TO SECURE THE LICENSE
AGAIN RIGHT BUT IT DOES NOT
ADDRESS ALL SPEAK TO A MANAGER
YES. MANAGER IS A REQUIRED THAT
TO LOOK AT THE END OF THE-
LICENSE. BUT TWO THINGS SO WHAT
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IF I
CALLED THE PERSON S. ON MY
EMPLOYEE. OR LICENSE HOLDER.
THERE THERE IS NO PROVISION
RIGHT NOW YOU CAN HAVE AN
ASSISTANT BUT THAT DOES NOT
NEGATE THE FACT THAT THE
PRIMARY OR THE LICENSEE HAS TO
STILL BE THERE 80% OF THE TIME
EVEN WITH AN ASSISTANT. SO
UNDER CURRENT- POLICY THERE IS
NO PROVISION TO HAVE SOMEONE
COME IN AND RIP AND REPLACE OR
BE THERE IN THE STEAD OF MAX
NUMBER ONE NUMBER TWO UNDER
THIS BILL. A DAY CARE WE HAVE
SOME WONDERFUL DAY CARE
PROVIDERS OUT THERE WHO ARE
HIGHLY EDUCATED BUT THEY'VE
DONE SO VOLUNTARILY THAT IS NOT
THE CASE FOR A MAJORITY OF THE
HOME DAY CARES THAT ARE OUT
THERE. THE MAJORITY THE HOME
DAY CARES OUT THERE YOU TAKE AN
EMERGENCY CLASS CPR AND UNDER
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
THAT'S IT UNDER THIS BILL IT
WOULD REQUIRE THE SECONDARY
LICENSE HE ACTUALLY HAS TO HAVE
A MINIMUM. OF A EARLY CHILDHOOD
CREDIT- CREDITS THAT IT WOULD
TAKE TO GO WORK IN A CENTER AND
SO IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE
TWELVE EARLY CHILDHOOD
EDUCATION CREDITS JUST TO BE
ABLE TO START. SO WITH THAT- IT
RAISES THE QUALITY OF THE EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION THAT'S
THERE IT ALSO ALLOWS THERE TO
BE THAT PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
HOMEOWNER DOESN'T AS THE
LICENSE HE- DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
THERE THE FULL 80% OF THE TIME.
IT WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE ELSE TO
BE ABLE TO COME IN AND CONTINUE
TO OPERATE THAT- THAT- DAY CARE
SO YOU'LL BE AND IS. JUST OF
CREATING. 20% OF ALL
FLEXIBILITY FOR THE PRIMARY
LICENSE HOLDER. BY BRINGING IN
THE SECONDARY LICENSE HOLDER.
AND THEN HE CAN FILL UP- MY
ABSENCE. NOT OVER 20% NOTE 20%%
IS CURRENT RIGHT NOW. WHERE THE
PROPOSAL I SINCE E DOES CAN BE
GONE 20% OF THE TIME. WHAT THE
SECONDARY LICENSEE WHICH DOES
NOT EXIST AT THIS POINT THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL DOES IT WOULD
ALLOW. FOR THAT PERSON TO NOT
HAVE TO BE THERE 80% OF THE
TIME. WELL YEAH LET TO ONLY
BEING 20% IT WOULD ALLOW THAT
SECOND A PERSON TO BE THERE
FULL TIME AND RUN THE DAY CARE.
SO SELFISH BUT IT WILL NOT-
HAVE ANY MINIMUM AMOUNT OF THE
TIME THAT THE PRIMARY A LICENSE
HOLDER CASH SHOULD BE AT THE
START THAT IS CORRECT AND THE
REASON FOR THAT IS BECAUSE WE
WOULD REQUIRE THE PERSONAL
TRAINING IN THE WEST AT THIS
BILL ALLOWS US TO HIRE YOUNG.
MY MANAGER. A MANAGER WITH A
LICENSE. WITH ORIGINALLY
CHILDHOOD NATION YES WITH EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION CREDITS SHE
SO BUT THAT WOULD NT ALLOW ME
TO OPEN THE SECONDARY HOW
ABSOLUTELY THAT WHAT IF I IF I
OR IF I HAVE A AND OF THE
PROPERTY HOLLY THE PLAN YOU
WOULD HAVE TO LIVE IT BOTH
RESIDENTS I GUESS- I. BECAUSE
WE THE RULE WOULD BE THAT YOU
WOULD NOT ONLY BE THE PROPERTY
OWNER BUT YOU WOULD BE THE
RESIDENTS. PRESENT THERE. YOU
HAVE TO SHOW PROOF THAT YOU
ACTUALLY LIVE THERE AS A
RESIDENT HOW HOW DO YOU DEFINE
REST AND SEE HOW OF 70% 80% OF
THE SELECTING A WE WOULD LOOK
INTO. WAS WE WOULD FIND SOME
LANGUAGE THAT ALREADY EXIST ON
WHAT DETERMINES RESIDENCY AND
WE WOULD INCORPORATE THAT INTO
THE BILL. I SEE OKAY HI THANK
YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU DR TRUTH.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE. NOW OKAY- I
JUST WANNA MAKE A COMMENT AND
SOMEONE GRAYSON- YOU AND I'VE
HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS AND-
I WANT TO APPLAUD YOU FOR
WORKING WITH COMMITTEE STAFF.
AND I KNOW YOU'RE COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS

PUT THE BEST PRODUCT FORWARD
AND WORK IN THIS BILL SO I
APPRECIATE THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS FOR
ALLOWING ME TO. PRESENT AB
THIRTY ONE. AND TO NORMAL OKAY
FROM UNIVISION LOSANGELES FOR
COVERING THIS IMPORTANT LAW
GABRIEL'S LAW FROM MY DISTRICT
OFFICE IN PALMDALE. MEMBERS
THIS LEGISLATION ADDRESSES AN
ISSUE. THAT'S VERY CLOSE TO ME.
ON MAY TWENTY SECOND TWENTY
THIRTEEN. GABRIEL FERNANDES WAS
RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.
PAUL REPORTS THAT THE C. SPREE
THE- HIS INJURIES. THE COLLUDED
TO DEPRESS GOAL. SIGER AT BURJ.
BLACK IRISH. LIGATURE MARKS
SHOULD BE TIED UP. AND BB
PELLET BULLETS RIDDLED
THROUGHOUT HIS BODY. HE DIED
TWO DAYS LATER FROM. LET ME USE
AND TORTURE. HIS DEATH LOOMS
LARGE OVER THE L. VALLEY. THE
RECOLLECTION OF HIS
QUINTESSENTIAL INNOCENCE BROKE
ALL OF OUR HEARTS. WHEN WE
MOURN TOGETHER WE HEARD
INCREASINGLY ABOUT THE MISSILE
CASES OF CHILD ABUSE. AS SEVERE
NEGLECT. UNFORTUNATELY IN THE
TIME OF MY COMMUNITY HAS BEEN
WAITING FOR CHANGE. WE ALSO
LOST THE LIVES OF TEN YEAR OLD
ANTHONY OF LOS. FROM FOUR YEAR
OLD NORCOR TRUE. I APOLOGIZE.
NO NO APOLOGY NEEDED- TODAY GAY
ROLE. WE'RE ALSO SUBJECT TO
OTHER E. LEADING UP TO THEIR
DEATH. PART OF THEIR ABUSE WAS
ASSOCIATED WITH HOMOPHOBIA.
WELL IT IS BEING DECONSTRUCTED.
WE MUST PROVIDE BETTER
PROTECTION. THIS IS SUPPOSED
ABBOTT SORRY NO POLICY NEED TO
THE TAKE YOUR TIME. BY
PROPOSING THE CREATION OF AN
OFFICE. THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO
RECEIVE COMPLAINTS REVIEW CASES
MAINTAINED BY CHILD PROTECTIVE
AGENCIES. THIS OFFICE WILL
PROVIDE ADVOCATES. WITH THE
RESOURCE FOR EARLY INTERVENTION.
WE KNOW THE GAME WORLD FIRST
GRADE TEACHER AND OTHERS
REPEATEDLY CALLED. REPORT ABUSE
WITHOUT ANY ACTION. THIS
OFFICER THE WE'RE PROPOSING
WOULD ALSO INVESTIGATE CHILD
DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BUCER NEGLECT. I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU KNOW THE SPOKESMAN WE HAVE
OVER A HUNDRED OF THESE DEATHS
HAPPENING. EVERY YEAR HER
CALIFORNIA ALONE. SINCE TWO
THOUSAND AND TWELVE. ANYWAYS
THIS PROPOSED OFFICE WOULD
REPORT FINDINGS AND DATA TO THE
LEGISLATURE THE END OF EACH
SESSION ALONG WITH SUGGESTIONS
FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CHILD
WELFARE SYSTEM. GABRIEL'S DEATH
WAS A SHOCK TO THE SYSTEM. THE
LITTLE RED OF THE CRACKS THESE
CASES FALL THROUGH ON A REGULAR
BASIS. OUR SYSTEM NEEDS REFORM
AND WHEN IT ANALYSIS. THE WILL
OF FORMS BY CAREFUL STUDY OF
THE FRACTURES TO IMPLEMENT
SOLUTIONS. OUR STATE IN MY
COMMUNITY CANNOT WAIT ANY
LONGER. HI WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
MORE THAN ENOUGH. I HAVE WITH
ME FOUR HUNDRED SIGNATURES. TO
SHOW THE DEPTH OF CONCERN THAT
EXIST AND THIS IS OVER A FAIRLY
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE
SIGNATURES WERE GATHERED. BUT
ORGANIZATION CALLED STRENGTH

YOU VERY SIXTIES ERA. THANK YOU
MISTER MARKEY. AT THE MOMENT
MAJORITY LEADER REYES. TRY TO
PRESENT.
I HAD. AB NINETY TWO.
YES ALL RIGHT I THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE TODAY I PRESENT TO
YOU AB NINETY TWO WHICH WILL
CREATE AN EQUITABLE SLIDING
SCALE FOR FAMILY FEES THAT WILL
ALLEVIATE THE BURDEN ON WORKING
FAMILIES STRUGGLING TO PAY FOR
CHILD CARE. CALIFORNIA IS ONE
OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE STATES
FOR PARENTS WHO NEED CHILD CARE
SERVICES. WELL THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF STATE OR FEDERALLY
FUNDED PROGRAMS THAT HELP
FAMILIES PAY FOR CHILD CARE
FAMILIES WHO NEED TO CARE MUST
STILL PAY WHAT IS CALLED FAMILY
FEES. THESE FEES GROWERS INCOME
ARISES AND CAN BE UP TO SIX
HUNDRED FORTY FIVE DOLLARS PER
MONTH. WHICH IS UNAFFORDABLE
FOR MANY WORKING FAMILIES. THE
COVERED NINETEEN PANDEMIC HAS
ONLY HEIGHTENED THE NEED FOR
AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE.
ESPECIALLY FOR WORKING MOTHERS
AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR WHO
ARE SIGNIFICANT PART OF CHIP
CALIFORNIA'S ESSENTIAL WERE FOR
WORKFORCE. IN LIGHT OF THE
PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND
ECONOMIC RECESSION PARENTS NEED
AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE NOW MORE
THAN EVER IN ORDER TO CONTINUE
PROVIDING FOR THEIR FAMILIES.
AB NINETY TWO WILL ADDRESS
THESE ISSUES BY CONVENING A
WORK GROUP OF PARENTS.
PROVIDERS CHILD CARE
STAKEHOLDERS. AND OTHERS TO
DEVELOP AN EQUITABLE SLIDING
SCALE FOR FAMILY FEES THAT
BETTER REFLECTS THE FAMILY'S
BUDGET. THIS BILL WILL PROTECT
CHILD CARE PROVIDERS BY
ENSURING THEY DO NOT ABSORB THE
COST OF A REDUCTION IN FAMILY
FEES. AND THAT THE NUMBER OF
CHILD CARE SPACES IN CALIFORNIA
ARE NOT REDUCED. AND FINALLY AB
NINETY TWO WILL UTILIZE FEDERAL
FUNDING TO TEMPORARILY WAIVE
FAMILY FEES FOR ALL FAMILIES
UNTIL OCTOBER OF TWENTY TWENTY
TWO. TO REDUCE THE HARDSHIP OF
COVERED NINETEEN CALIFORNIANS
AND AS PERMITTED UNDER FEDERAL
LAW HERE TO TESTIFY TODAY IS
BECAUSE A LOT MORGAN A PARENTS
PAYING HIGH FAMILY FEES FOR
CHILD CARE AND LORI FURSTENFELD
WITH THE CHILD CARE LAWCENTER.

AND IT WAS BECAUSE OF WHAT THE
CITY IS DONE IN THOSE
PARTICULAR AREAS AND LOS
ANGELES AND THEY DECIDED TO
CLOSE THE STORES THIS BILL WILL
FOCUS TO SIMPLY SAY THAT YOU
KNOW YOU CLOSE ANY STORES.
THERE IT WOULD GIVE WRITTEN
NOTICE BETWEEN SIXTY AND A
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS FOR THE
EMPLOYEES SO THAT THEY CAN ONE
RECEIVE- INFORMATION THAT THE
STORES CLOSING TO MAKE SURE
THAT RESOURCES ARE MADE
AVAILABLE. THREE MAKING SURE
THAT ALSO THEY HAVE OPPORTUNITY

CHAIR- MISTER GIBSON THANK YOU
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN
PRESENTING THIS BILL THIS IS
ALBERTO TO RECALL THE UP THE
UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL
WORKERS IN THERE ONE HUNDRED
SEVENTY FIVE THOUSAND MEMBERS I
DO WANNA GO SO A FEW OF THE
SECOND HALF OF THE PEOPLE
COMING TO MISTER GIBSON- FIRST
AND FOREMOST- THERE ARE TWO
MILLION. WHO DOES SOMETHING IN
OUR COUNTRY AND I THINK THAT
THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAS
PLAGUED COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
FOR DECADES AND I THINK THIS
THIS BILL IS A VERY VERY SMALL
BUT IMPORTANT STEP IN THE
DIRECTION OF TRYING TO CURTAIL-
DAY SPECIAL PUJAS WHICH RUN THE
COUNTRY AS WELL AS SOME
ASSEMBLY GIPSON MENTIONED. TWO
STORES RECENTLY WERE- COOK NOW
TO BE CLOSED BY KROGER'S IN THE
LONG BEACH AREA- THIS BILL
SIMPLY REQUIRES SIXTEEN HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS NOTICE FOR THE
WORKERS I THINK THAT SHOULD
MORE THAN FAIR I DO ALSO WANT
TO PUT SOME SOME ADDITIONAL
CONTEXT OVER THESE THE STORE
CLOSURES AND THE AUDACITY QUITE
FRONT OF THE STORE CLOSURES-
DURING THE CALL BUT CRISIS.
THERE HAVE BEEN RECORD SALES AT
GROCERY STORES AROUND THE
COUNTRY COKER'S AN ALBERTSON'S
OF SEEN SAUCE SALES IN THE LAST
YEAR- 10225% OVER THE PREVIOUS
YEAR- SECOND NOT ONLY OF
SILICON UP BUT PROFITS HAVE
GONE UP LET'S USE KROGER'S
AGAIN AS AN EXAMPLE THERE ARE
TWENTY NINETEEN PROFITS WERE
ONE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS
IN TWENTY TWENTY DURING COVERT
THERE WERE TWO POINT FIVE
BILLION SO NOT ONLY ARE THERE
GETTING RECORD SALES. NOT ONLY
ARE THEY GETTING RECORD PROFITS
THEY ARE THEY PASSED TO THEM
POLICE TO COME TO WORK TO
RESTORE LIVES- TO PUT
THEMSELVES IT LITERALLY ON THE
FRONTLINE- IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE
TO CONTINUE TO EAT AND IT'S AND
IT'S SO UNFAIR NO IN RESPONSE
TO ALL OF THAT SACRIFICE FOR
THE GROCERY STORES NOW TO SAY.
WE DON'T WANT TO PAY A HUNDRED

OPPOSITION IN THE HEARING ROOM
DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR
THE AUTHOR FROM THE COMMITTEE
AND THIS TO WORK THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER GIBSON FOR I'M
INTRODUCING THIS LEGISLATION I
UNDERSTAND AND- AND FULLY
SYMPATHIZE WITH THAT THE NEED
FOR THE BILL I'M LEARNING IF
YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT WHY YOU CHOSE A HUNDRED
AND EIGHTY DAYS AND- IF THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT MAYBE YOU ARE
WORKING ON IT JUST FEELS. LONG
VERY DIFFICULT TO PREDICT WHAT
MARKET CONDITIONS MIGHT LOOK
LIKE FIVE MONTHS FROM NOW TO
MAKE THAT DECISION OF WHAT
HAPPENED SIX MONTHS FROM NOW
AND IF THERE'S ALREADY EXISTING
LAW THAT-YOU KNOW MANDATE
CERTAIN THINGS HAPPEN WITHIN
SIXTY DAYS OR SEVENTY FIVE
DAYS- ARE ARE YOU WORKING ON ON
A TIME PERIOD THAT MIGHT-
IMPLEMENT WELL. I AM CERTAINLY
WILL IS- WILLING TO WORK WITH
THE OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
FIRST- SECONDLY HOW CARE IF THE
STORES GETTING READY TO CLOSE
RIGHT WE SHOULD HAVE A THERE
SHOULD BE NO OBLIGATION.
ESPECIALLY TO FRONTLINE WORKERS
TO GIVE THEM AS MUCH AS NOTICED
AS POSSIBLE I DON'T THINK SIX
MONTHS NOTICE IF THEY KNOW- BUT
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NOTICE THIS
IS NOT ABOUT DAYS IS ABOUT WHAT
A CD JOHNSON TO STEP UP TO THE
PLATE TO MAKE SURE THOSE FRONT
LINE WORKERS. WHO'VE BEEN
WORKING DAY IN DAY OUTJUST
LIKE ARE HEALTHCARE WORKERS AND
IS THE OVER DISPUTE OVER THE
HERO MONEY THAT CITIES PASS TO
SUPPORT GROWTH STORE WORKERS
WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS
MEET IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE
THAT THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE NOT
NOT THE GOD IT'S REALLY ABOUT
THAT IS ABOUT WHAT THE CITY OF
LOS ANGELES AND THE CITY. OF
LONG BEACH DID THAT BROUGHT US
INTO THIS THAT I HAVE I DON'T
BEGRUDGE THEM I THINK WE SHOULD
BE PAYING THESE GROCERY STORE
WORKERS BUT TO UP IN CLOSE
INCOME IN A COMMUNITY THAT'S
ALREADY STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS
MEET I THINK IT'S NOT TOO MUCH
TO ASK FOR THEM TO GIVE THEM A
SIX MONTH DEPLOYMENT SIXTY
DAYS. TO HUNDRED EIGHTY DAYS
WITHOUT A NOTICE. RIGHT AND I
AGREE WITH YOU ESPECIALLY I
THINK THAT THE OPERATIVE PHRASE
THEY IS IF. KNOW AND THE NOT
YOU KNOW TO THE THAT THE CAN IS
ARE SO TINY. TO SOME IS GONNA
CHANGE REVENUE LIKE CERTAINLY
POINT THEY HAVEN'T- PEOPLE ARE
USING THE GROCERY STORE BUT IF.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING REALLY
CHANGES A CIRCUMSTANCES- WITHIN
A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THAT.
YOU KNOW THEY THEY THEY MAY
FEEL THE NEED TO FIGURE THAT
OUT AS A BUSINESS SITE. I
UNDERSTAND THAT PERSPECTIVE TO
AND YOU KNOW LOOKING AT
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION- FOR
EXAMPLE CONSOLES THIS BILL FROM
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN THAT. YOU
KNOW I HAD A NINETY DAY
TRANSITION PERIOD TO MAKE SURE
THAT EMPLOYEES COULD TRANSFER
FROM ONE- ONE ONE PLAY TO A
SUCCESSOR EMPLOYER- AND SO JUST
I THINK I LOVE THE- GIVEN A
COURTESY I TODAY- BUT JUST KIND
OF CONTINUE TO. TIE ALL THESE
TOGETHER INTO TIME FRAMES THAT
MAKES SENSE FOR BOTH PARTIES- I
THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMMENT AND
I. I CONCUR AGAIN I WILL WE
WILL WORK WITH THE OPPOSITION-
TO. FIND A MIDDLE GROUND- BUT I
DON'T THINK WE CAN GIVE THOSE
EMPLOYEES- ANOTHER HEADS UP
NOTICE. AND I THINK AGAIN WE
CAN'T STOP THIS DOOR FROM
CLOSING OR NONE OF THE STORES
FROM CLOSING. BUT WE SHOULD
HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY
OBLIGATION TO THOSE EMPLOYEES
TO MAKING SURE. THAT ONE TAKE
PREPARE THEMSELVES SOMETIME IT
TAKES A LOOK AT MORE. THAN US
SIX WEEKS OR OR SIXTY DAYS IN
ORDER TO PREPARE YOURSELF
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
LOSING YOUR JOB. YOU KNOW WE
HAVE A TOOL WE KNOW WHEN WE
KNOW OUR EXPIRATION DATE HERE'S
MEMBERS OF LEGISLATURE. SO WE
SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS AT THE END OF OUR TERM.
THESE EMPLOYEES DOESN'T HAVE
THE BENEFIT OF THAT AND ALL I'M
SAYING IS THAT DURING THIS
TIME- EXPENSE YOU DOING A
PANDEMIC- THAT WE FIND
OURSELVES IN. WE SHOULD GIVE
THEM AS MUCH TIME AS MUCH
NOTICE. AS MUCH RESOURCES AS WE
POSSIBLY CAN. THANK YOU MAY
DAVIS. THANK MISTER GIPSON. A
COUPLE QUESTIONS AS A SMALL
BUSINESS OWNER AND- SOMETHING
LIKE A GROCERY STORE WHICH
COULD BE A PRIVATE- BUSINESS.
YOU KNOW YOU HAVE AT WILL
WORKERS THERE AS WELL. AND SO
DID GIVING SOMEONE A HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS- YOU COULD HAVE
EVER DECIDE TO LEAVE. AND ALSO
YOU HAVE NOBODY THERE TO BE
EMPLOYED. I THINK FOR ME BY
QUESTION IS IF YOU WITH THIS
ONE FORWARD- WHAT TYPE FIND
WHAT IT BE AND IF THIS PLACE IS
GOING UNDER. YOU KNOW HOW ARE
THEY SUPPOSED TO PAY IT- YOU
SAID ABOUT BY TO FIND. YOU HAVE
THAT YOU HAVE A BANDAID THAT
THEY HAVE TO GET DISCONNECTED
WHAT WOULD BE THE REPLICATIONS
OF IF THEY'RE NOT DOING THIS
WHAT WAS THAT AGAIN WE'RE STILL
WORKING ON ON THE BILL IN THE
LANGUAGE- AND SO THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT WE WERE
CERTAINLY GOING TO SIT DOWN
WITH THE OPPOSITION AND WORK
OUT SOMETHING IS REASONABLE
AGAIN WE'RE TALKING FOR ME M.
M. FROM MY LAND IS MAKING SURE
THAT EMPLOYEES- THIS WOULD NOT
BE. A MOM AND POP BUSINESS
BECAUSE THE TALK ABOUT SQUARE
FOOT AS WE TALK ABOUT- WE DO
LOOK AT TRADER JOE'S TEN
THOUSAND SQUARE IF WE LOOK AT-
SUPER WALLMARK A HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY THOUSAND SQUARE FOOT SO
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A HUGE DIP-
GROCERY STORE SO WE'RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT A MOM AND POP
GROCERY STORE WE TALK ABOUT A
CHAIN- SPECIALLY IN THIS CASE
IS THE NATIONAL CHAIN KROGER
THAT OWNS FOOD LASSEN ALSO
WRAPS MARKETS. IT AND I
UNDERSTAND BELIEVE A GIRL SHE'S
THE DEFINITION GROCERY STORES
LIKE FIVE THOUSAND SQUARE FEET-
AND- SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M
LOOKING FOR REALLY IS WHAT WHAT
IS THE PENALTY YOU KNOW WHAT IT
IS IT REALISTIC IF IT'S
SOMETHING THAT'S SO HIGH
THEY'RE GOING UNDER IT AND THEY
DON'T YOU KNOW IT WAS GOOD PAID
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING
FOR SURE AND I WOULD JUST IN
RESPONSE TO THAT- ONE THAT-
BECAUSE ALBERTA TO RICO TALKED
ABOUT- THE AMOUNT OF PROFIT
THAT. THEY MADE LAST YEAR OVER
THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS- AND
YOU KNOW SO WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT A GREAT A COMPANY WHO
WILL GO UNDER- IT WEATHERS WE
RESPECT TO THIS WE TALK ABOUT
COMPANY HAS MADE MONEY HAND
OVER FIST AGAIN I THINK ABOUT
THE EMPLOYEES WHEN. CRAFTING
THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION. YOU.
THANK YOU AND NOW SOME REMEMBER
GIPSON- I- APOLOGIZE I IF FOR
THIS QUESTION HAS ARISEN
ALREADY- BUT- I WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT SO WHY. YOU ARE- GROCERY
STORES ON THE- WHERE IS- ANY-
THOUGH- BUSINESSES ARE CLOSING-
WILL HAVE A EMPLOYEES AT AND
THEN NOT WITH A CERTAIN NUMBER
ONE EMPLOYEES SO WITHOUT. LACK
A FEDERAL WARRANT ACT HAS SOME
MORE THAN A HUNDRED EMPLOYEES
TO AND I'M NOT- CAL CALIFORNIA
WARN ACT TO- SPECIFIES- SEVENTY
FIVE OR MORE EMPLOYEES FOR TERM
IMPROPER USE OF TO NOTIFY- THE-
LOCAL GOVERNMENT THOUGH AND- IS
ALREADY EXISTING LAW AND OF
BEING PRACTICED SO I RECEIVED
THOSE SUCH A NOTICES SO WHEN I
WAS SO- WITH THE- A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT- BUT THE. Y. HI IS
IT THE- DIFFERENT FROM THAT THE
WAR- TAX THAT SAW EXISTS- I
HADN'T. THE. THE NOTICE OF PURE
UNIT OF TWO HOURS OF FEDERAL
HIS SISTER DAY OF GROW OR IS
AND THE ROLE CAN WARRANT SUBS
SIXTY OF NO A BUT THE- WHETHER
YOU ARE CHANGE- THE- THE PERIOD
THE WHOLE MANY DAYS IN ADVANCE
OF THE COURTS ARE STORED SO
WOULD HAVE TO- NOTIFY THIS IS A.
ONE EXAMPLE ONE. REGULATE AFTER
ANOTHER- YOU MAY KNOW THAT THE-
I THINK THAT'S A SUITABLE BEACH
A RECENTLY CLOSED- TO- GROCERY
CHAINS OWNED BY KROGER
ABSOLUTELY BECAUSE OF- HERE
WILL PAY REQUIREMENTS- THAT WAS
SO AND OF THE BURDEN. YOU KNOW
EVEN SO INTENT THE MIGHT HAVE
BEEN GOOD BUT- THAT KIND OF A
REQUIREMENT IS SO LITERALLY
KILLING THE BUSINESSES. AND YOU
CAN THINK ABOUT. WHAT KIND OF
LOST A JOB LOSS AND THE REVENUE
LOSS FOR THE CITY OF LONG BEACH
ETCETERA THIS IS A AND I DON'T
KNOW YOU KNOW HOW AWFUL TO ME.
ON NECESSARY BECAUSE IT'S
ALREADY PRE EXISTING AND KNOW
WHAT THIS- LAW WOULD REQUIRE
WHAT WHAT WHAT BENEFITS TO WILL
BRING. US TO THE EMPLOYEES. OR
TO THE COMMUNITY. SO I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU CAN CALL ON THE
SURE AND WE DID COVER SOME OF
THAT THAT YOU JUST SPOKE OF
ONE. IT PROVIDES A COMMUNITY
NOTICE- ON THE DOOR OF THE
STORE THIS BEING CLOSE TO IT
PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR
EMPLOYEES WHO WORKS THERE TO BE
ABLE TO GET THEIR SELVES IN
ORDER TO SPECIALLY KNOWING.
THAT THEY WILL NO LONGER HAVE A
JOB BECAUSE THE STORE BEING
CLOSED AND WE BELIEVE SIXTY
SIXTY FOUR- A HUNDRED EIGHTY
DAYS IS GIVING THOSE EMPLOYEES
AND UP ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY. SO
THAT THEY CAN ALSO ADDRESS
THEIR PERSONAL SITUATION
BECAUSE THEY LOSING INCOME BUT
ALSO PROVIDES OPPORTUNITY FOR
THEM TO TRANSFER TO OTHER
STORES IF IN FACT THERE'S
VACANCIES IN THOSE OTHER STORES
WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CITY OF
LONG BEACH INSIDE OF LOS
ANGELES. INTO RICK REGARDING TO
THE THIS HERO PAY- THOSE
EMPLOYEES CAN NOT BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT THOSE
EMPLOYEES ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE
IN THE WINDMILL- AND TERMS OF
THE RESULTS THAT HAPPENED
BECAUSE AS SOON AS THOSE
CITIES. PASSED THE HERO- ACT%
THAT'S WHEN THEY MADE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT- I WOULD VENTURE
TO SAY THAT NOW SO WE COULD
HAVE CAME AT A AT A FUNNY TIME-
WOULD THEY HAVE ANNOUNCED THESE
STORE CLOSURES IF IN FACT THE
CITY OF LOS ANGELES CITY OF
LONG BEACH. HAD NOT ASKING
PUSHED FOR AND WON IN THE COURT
SAYING THAT IT'S PERMISSIBLE TO
ASK THESE GROCERY STORES TO-
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL REVENUE FOR
THESE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE STILL
STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
IS IT UNREASONABLE FOR US TO BE
ABLE TO STEP UP TO WE TALK
ABOUT A NOTICE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT A NOTICE TO PROVIDE TO
EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE TO SHIFT
THEIR LIVES WHO HAVE TO MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS FOR THEIR LIVES THE
NOTICE IS NOT GOING TO STOP THE
STORE FROM CLOSING. AND THAT'S
THE UNDERLYING THIS THE NOTICE
TO MAKING SURE THEY HAVE
