THREE THOUSAND EMERGENCY ROOM
VISITS PER YEAR. IN THE US.
WELL CALIFORNIA'S AT THE
FOREFRONT OF REGULATIONS
CONCERNING WEIGHT LOSS DIETARY
SUPPLEMENTS AND DIET PILLS WE
CANNOT PROHIBIT THE SALE OF
THESE PRODUCTS TO MINORS.
DESPITE WHILE DOCUMENTED
DANGERS. ADDITIONALLY IT'S
IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE
POTENTIAL DANGERS OF THESE
PRODUCTS AFFECT ALREADY
WONDERFUL COMMUNITIES. FOR
EXAMPLE WOMEN ARE TWO TIMES
MORE LIKELY TO USE WEIGHT LOSS
SUPPLEMENTS AND OVER THE
COUNTER THAT BILLS THAN MEN. I
THINK AN AMERICAN ATLANTIC
LATINO ADULTS ARE AT HIGHER
RISK OF USING WEIGHT LOSS
SUPPLEMENTS THAN WHITE ADULTS.
LONDON THINGS ARE 40% MORE
LIKELY TO USE OVER THE COUNTER
THAT BUILT IN WHITE JEANS I
KNOW THIS IS A COMMUNITIES THAT
ARE THE MOST HORRIBLE WHEN IT
COMES TO THESE PRODUCTS. NO
COMMUNITIES NEED ARE THAT THESE
COMMUNITY THEATRE PROTECTION

IMPORTANT FAIL. THE US WEIGHT
LOSS SUPPLEMENT INDUSTRY
GENERATE OVER TWO POINT FIVE
BILLION DOLLARS IN AB ANNUAL
REVENUE. WE HAVE ALL THE NEEDS
PRODUCT AND LOCAL PHARMACIES
GROCERY STORES AND HEALTH FOOD
STORES. WHAT MANY PEOPLE DON'T
KNOW IS THAT WEIGHT LOSS
SUPPLEMENTS ARE NOT REVIEWED BY
THE FDA FOR SAFETY OR
EFFECTIVENESS BEFORE THE END
FOR THE MARKET. RESEARCH
AFFECTING THE COMPOSITION OF
THE SUPPLEMENT HAVE FOUND THAT
MANY ARE LACED WITH BANNED
SUBSTANCES PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
STIMULANTS THEY'RE ALL RIGHT
AND OTHER TOXIC INGREDIENTS.
RIGOROUS SCIENTIFIC STUDY AFTER
STUDY HAS SHOWN BE PERFECTLY

HEALTH RISKS TO CONSUMERS. FOR

HE ADMITS THAT SUPPLEMENT YOU

THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF

OUT OF THE HANDS OF OUR KIDS.
ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTEEN FORTY
ONE GIVE CALIFORNIA LAWMAKER

SUSPENDISSE. FROM THE AMERICAN
HERBAL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATION MR
TURK I UNDERSTAND ARE YOU IN
THE VIDEO CONFERENCE ROOM. I'M
ON THE TELEPHONE ON THE
TELEPHONE OKAY GO AHEAD PLEASE.
THANK YOU- THE NATURAL PRODUCTS
ASSOCIATION IS THE OLDEST AND
LARGEST TRADE ASSOCIATION
REPRESENTING MORE THAN SEVEN
HUNDRED FIFTY MEMBERS
NATIONWIDE. WE IN OUR MEMBERS
MANY OF WHICH YOU HEARD FROM
STRONGLY OPPOSE AB THIRTEEN
FORTY ONE MEMBERS OF NPA AND
OTHERS LESS SIGNIFICANT
RESOURCES TO ENSURE THEIR
PRODUCTS ARE STATE. THESE
INCLUDE GOOD MANUFACTURING
PRACTICES RENDON PRODUCT
TESTING AND HEARING SOME
MARKETING GUIDELINES AND
FOLLOWING THE STRICT RULES AND
REGULATIONS THE FDA AND FTC
HAVE MADE FOR TWENTY FIVE
YEARS. THOSE RULES ENSURE THAT
THE UNITED STATES ENJOYED THE
STATE THIS DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
SUPPLY IN THE WORLD. AS WRITTEN
AB THIRTEEN FORTY ONE PROHIBITS
AND GREETINGS FROM BEING SOLD
TO MINORS UNDER THE AGE OF
EIGHTEEN INCLUDING THERMOGENIC
AND LOOK TROPICS. THAT WOULD
MEAN SCHOOL LUNCHES EGGMAN
OFTEN. DECENT STEAK. AND OTHER
COMMON FOOD PRODUCTS SUDDENLY
BECOME CONTRABAND. AND IN OUR
VIEW IT'S RIDICULOUS TO PUT
THESE BUILDING BLOCKS OF
NUTRITION IN THE SAME CATEGORY
AS ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO. THIS
LEGISLATION APPEARS TO BE IN. A
SOLUTION IN SEARCH OF A PROBLEM
HOWEVER THERE IS NO PROBLEM
BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF
A LINKAGE BETWEEN DIETARY
SUPPLEMENTS AND EATING
DISORDERS. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT
IT'S BECAUSE WE ASK. IN TWENTY
NINETEEN WE SUBMITTED A FOIA TO
THE FDA TO EXPLORE. WHETHER
THERE WERE ANY ADVERSE EVENTS
FROM CASES INVOLVING EATING
DISORDERS AND DIETARY
SUPPLEMENTS. THE ANSWER FROM
THE FDA'S NO LINKAGE BETWEEN
EATING DISORDERS AND
SUPPLEMENTS. IF AB THIRTEEN
FORTY ONE WERE TO BECOME LAW
MANY PRODUCTS SUCH AS VITAMIN
D. AND CALCIUM WOULD NOT BE
MADE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE UNDER
EIGHTEEN AND THIS WOULD BE A
CATASTROPHIC IMPACT ON
VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES USING IS
A CENTRAL PRODUCTS TO
SUPPLEMENT THEIR HEALTH AND GET
THE CRITICAL NUTRIENTS THEY
NEED. BY PUTTING THESE
SUPPLEMENTS BEHIND THE COUNTER
THE BILL WOULD FURTHER
STIGMATIZE THOSE FIGHTING
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT ISSUES WHO
ALREADY FACE A RANGE OF MENTAL
AND PHYSICAL HEALTH CHALLENGES.
AND EXCELLING SAFE DIETARY
SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD NOT BE A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE YEAH UNDER
THIS BILL- THE FINE FOR SELLING
NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS WOULD
BE FOUR TO FIVE TIMES HIGHER
THAN THE FINES FOR SELLING
ALCOHOL OR TOBACCO TO A MINOR.
IF AB THIRTEEN FORTY ONE PASSES
IT WOULD CRIMINALIZE THE SALE
OF PRODUCTS LIKE WHEY PROTEIN
AND AMINO ACIDS. BUT BEYOND THE
ABSURDITY OF TREATING HEALTHY
AND NUTRITIONAL INGREDIENTS
LIKE A PUBLIC ENEMY THERE'S A
BROADER ECONOMIC IMPACTS TO
CONSIDER IN CALIFORNIA THE
NATURAL PRODUCTS INDUSTRY
SUPPORTS OVER FIFTY THOUSAND
JOBS BUT IT WOULDN'T JUST BE
SUPPLEMENT STORES GROCERY
STORES RESTAURANTS AND OTHERS
WOULD ALSO POTENTIALLY BECOME
VICTIMS WHY WE BELIEVE. WHICH
IS WHY WE BELIEVE THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT LEGAL CHALLENGES
FOR THIS BILL. WE SUPPORT THE
EFFORTS TO STOP ILLEGAL DRUGS
MASQUERADING AS NATURAL
PRODUCTS BEING SOLD TO
CONSUMERS AND ESPECIALLY TO
MINORS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
HAS VASTLY FORSMAN POWERS AND
HAS A LONG TRACK RECORD OF
PUNISHING CRIMINALS WHO BREAK
THE LAW. MPA SUPPORTS VIGOROUS
ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW TO
PROTECT CONSUMERS BILL THIS
LEGISLATION WILL NOT ACCOMPLISH
THAT WILL WORK AGAINST THE
EXISTING LAW THAT IS WELL
DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE MORE
THAN THREE IN FOUR AMERICANS TO
USE A NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENT.
THANK YOU AND I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
THEN I HAVE A RECESSES BUTTONS.
THANK YOU GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR
AND MEMBERS MY NAME IS LAWRENCE
THE FACT THAT AS WITH MILLER'S
FACT THAT IT'S AN ASSOCIATE AND
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
AMERICAN HERBAL PRODUCTS
ASSOCIATION. WELL WE SUPPORT
THE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GOAL OF
ATTRACTING THIS SERIOUS PUBLIC
HEALTH PROBLEM OF EATING
DISORDERS AMONG YEARS. WE MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPONENT EP
THIRTEEN FORTY ONE. ALTHOUGH
THE BILL IS WELL INTENTIONED IT
WAS ONLY TO SCAPEGOAT DIETARY
SUPPLEMENT PRODUCTS WITHOUT
ACTUALLY EDUCATING THE TEAM. TO
HELP. FIRST AS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
ARE SUBJECT TO WELL ESTABLISHED
DIRECT REGULATION ENFORCEMENT
TEAM THE FDA FTC BOTH HAVE
CLEAR AUTHORITY ALREADY DIETARY
SUPPLEMENT THROUGH THE FEDERAL
FOOD DRUG COSMETIC ACT AND THE
FTC ACT. THE FDA AND CHARGED
WITH INSPECTING MANUFACTURING
FACILITIES REVIEWING LABELING
AND MONITORING PRODUCTS FOR
SAFETY WELL THE FCC IN EFFECT
OF FALSE AND MISLEADING
ADVERTISING. IT'S A FACT
CONTRADICTS THE FATHER'S
ARGUMENTS THAT THESE PRODUCTS
ARE IMMACULATE CLIP IN
ADEQUATELY REGULATED FOR THEIR
ADVERTISING. IS FALSE AND
MISLEADING. SECOND IT DIDN'T TO
NOTE THE GUY STUFF CAN
INGREDIENTS CITED BY THE
DOCTORS. SUCH AS THE FEDERAL
AND PHARMACEUTICAL. ARE BANNED
FROM SALE BY THE FDA AND ARE
THEREFORE ALREADY ILLEGAL.
LASTLY THE EXTENT THAT
REASONABLE MINDS MIGHT DISAGREE
ON THE UTILITY OF THESE
PRODUCTS BUT I THINK WE CAN ALL
AGREE THAT THE PROPER PRODUCT
AND IT'S THE HARSHEST FORM OF
PRODUCT REGULATION. AND SHOULD
THEREFORE BE AFFIRMATIVELY
SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE. INDICATE
THE EVIDENCE SHOULD SHOW A
CORRELATION BETWEEN THESE
PRODUCTS AND EATING DISORDERS
BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER. WE
HAVE THAT QUESTION WHETHER THIS
STUDY CITED THE RECTIFIED BONTA
PROVIDED EVIDENCE. A REVIEW OF
THE REFERENCE DATE. PROVIDED
SHOWS THAT YOU HAVE THREE
IDENTIFIED THAT HE DID NOT
ACTUALLY EVALUATE MEATLOAF
PRODUCTS ARE PRESENT EVIDENCE
THAT THESE PRODUCTS ARE
FREQUENTLY USED BY TEENS- AT
LEAST LEVELS BEYOND MANUFACTURE
RECOMMENDATION. UNFORTUNATELY
THE OWNER AT THE END OF THE
BILL AND TO BROADEN THE PRODUCT
THAT COVERS. INCLUDING SOME
THAT WE THINK WOULD BE
INADVERTENTLY COVERED IT'D
BROAD DEFINITIONS IN THE BILL.
WILL LEAD TO UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES INCLUDING PUSHING
CONSUMERS TO PURCHASE PRODUCTS
FROM DUBIOUS FELLERS IN ONLINE
MARKETPLACES WHERE THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THESE ADULTERATED
PRODUCTS ARE SOLD. FOR THESE
REASONS MUST RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSE AB THIRTEEN FORTY ONE.
WE GREATLY APPRECIATE THE AFTER
MEDIAN ACCOUNT. AND WE ARE
COMMITTED TO AN ONGOING
DIALOGUE WITH THE AUTHOR SHOULD
THE BILL MOVED OUT OF COMMITTEE
TODAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR
COMMON. THANK YOU. RIGHT IS

DAVIES. GONZALEZ HOLDEN KALRA
KILEY MAIENSCHEIN REYES. THANK
YOU WE DO HAVE A QUORUM ALL
RIGHT THANK YOU WE DO HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND QUESTIONS
COMMENTS FOR THE AUTHOR. THE
DALLAS FIRST I WANT TO THANK
YOU FOR BRINGING THIS BILL WE
HAD A BRIEF INTERPLATE OUT
YESTERDAY- I AM ASTONISHED BY
THE OPPOSITION WITNESS THE
FIRST OPPOSITION MIGHT MISS- AS
I THINK A LOT OF WOMEN- AND
IMPROBABLY MEN TOO BUT WOMEN IN
PARTICULAR COULD TELL YOU. THE
LACK OF RESEARCH OR DATA THAT
LINKS A NUMBER OF DIETARY
SUPPLEMENTS WITH IN DISORDERS
HASN'T BEEN ADEQUATELY EXPLORED
IN BUT COMMONSENSE AND ALL OF
OUR EXPERIENCES CAN TELL YOU
THAT THERE IS A LINK AND THAT
THERE IS A DROP FOR YOUNG
WOMEN- IN MY DISCUSSIONS WITH
YOUR TOLD YOU I DON'T THINK
YOUR BILL GOES FAR ENOUGH I
WOULD ALSO- ASKED THAT IN THE
FUTURE WE LOOK AT POSSIBLY
TAKING WATER PILLS AND
LAXATIVES OFF OF THE OVER THE
COUNTER- OPPORTUNITIES FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE TO PURCHASE. AS
THEY ARE GATEWAYS INTO HERBAL
SUPPLEMENTS THAT ARE DANGEROUS
THEY ARE IN THEMSELVES
DANGEROUS TO YOUNG WOMEN. AND
SO AT I THINK THAT THIS ISSUE
IN THE EXPLORATION OF THIS
ISSUE IS WAIT PASSED OVER TO-
I'M SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE
TAKING IT OUT IT'S DIFFICULT
BUT IT'S IMPORTANT WORK AND-
YOU KNOW HOW. WHEN WE WERE
YOUNGER NOT THAT WE'RE NOT
ANYMORE- BUT THERE WAS A BROAD
DISCUSSION ABOUT ALL THE AFTER
SCHOOL SPECIALS THAT BASICALLY
GAVE US A ROADMAP TO BECOMING-
GAMINI DISORDERS TO BE QUITE
HONEST. IN AND WE KNOW THAT A
LOT OF THEM START A LOT OF THE
REALLY DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR
STARTS WITH- WHAT IS LESS
DESTRUCTIVE I. THOUGHT TO BE
LESS DISTRACTED BY GIRLS WHICH
IS THE TAKING OF OVER THE
COUNTER MEDICATION- THAT WOULD
LEAD TO THE SOUTH I WANT TO
THANK YOU WHEN APPLIED YOU ARE.
GOING TO ASK YOU AND BY YOU IN
YOUR SPONSORS TO THINK ABOUT IF
NOT THIS YEAR IN THE FUTURE XP
I MEAN THAT'S BECAUSE- FROM MY
EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE OF THOSE
AROUND ME IT ALL STARTS WITH
WATER PILLS MOST ON THE
LAXATIVES MIXON TO THIS SO-
THERE'S MORE WORK TO BE DONE
BUT THANK YOU FOR THIS FIRST
STEP AND I'M I'M- GOING TO BE
JOINING YOU AS A JOINT AUTHORS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU OTHER
QUESTIONS COMMENTS. RIGHT C.
NONE MAY CLOSE AT YES I DO WANT
TO QUICKLY ADDRESS SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION I DON'T APPRECIATE
THE MISINFORMATION- CAMPAIGN
THAT'S OUT THERE ANYWAY
PRODUCTS FOR EXAMPLE ARE SOLD
AS FOOD AND HAVE- NUTRITION
FACT LABELS ON THE BACK OF
PACKAGES SO THEY WOULD NOT BE
COVERED BY AB THIRTEEN FORTY
ONE IF THEY'RE BEING SOLD
SPECIFICALLY AS DIET
SUPPLEMENTS THEY WOULD BE
COVERED OUT THERE BUT THE
REALITY IS THAT THESE YOUNG.
CHILDREN PIC THAT THESE
HABITATS KIDS IN CARRY THEM
INTO ADULTHOOD AND WE HAVE THEM
FOR A LIFETIME NOT JUST THE BAD
HABITS THAT AFFECT THE HEALTH
PHYSICALLY BUT MENTALLY- AND WE
HAVE SEEN DURING THIS PANDEMIC
HAS GOTTEN WORSE FOR CHILDREN
OUT THERE AS A BEING BOMBARDED
WITH IMAGES ON A REGULAR BASIS
AS THE FORTY FOUR YEAR OLD
WOMAN. THOSE IDEAS STILL
STIGMATIZED ARE STILL WITH ME
TODAY AND SO WHILE WE WORK
EVERY DAY TO BE THE STRONG
WOMAN THAT WE WANT THE PUBLIC
TO SEE S. VERY ALITY IS THAT WE
NEVER STOP AT WORK AND SO THIS
IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE PHYSICAL
HEALTH- AND COMMON SENSE BUT
ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH ABOUT
PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN OUT
THERE AND SO I'M A LITTLE
OFFENDED BY OUR FIRST WITNESS
OUT THERE. LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH THE OPPOSITION TO
MAKE SURE WE HAVE SOMETHING
THAT IS FAIR I AND I AGREE WITH
MS GONZALEZ THAT WE SHOULD BE
DOING MORE BUT THIS IS A GOOD
FIRST STEP. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
WHEN I WROTE. THANK YOU WE DO

THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
FIRST I WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR
WORK ON THIS BILL ANYONE EXCEPT
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. TO
THEIR PRESENT AB TEN THIRTY
THREE A BILL THAT WOULD REQUIRE
REMEDIATION BE THE FIRST STEP
IN EMPLOYEE SMALL EMPLOYER
DISAGREEMENTS ON PAID FAMILY
LEAVE. SAVING TIME FOR QUICKER
RESOLUTION AND MONEY ON COSTLY
LITIGATION LAST YEAR WE PASSED
SB THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE BY
SENATOR HANNAH BETH JACKSON. SB
THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE EXPANDED
THE CALIFORNIA FAMILY RIGHTS
ACT SO THAT IT NOW APPLIES TO
CALIFORNIA SMALL BUSINESSES WE
JUST FIVE OR MORE EMPLOYEES.
DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT COSTLY
LITIGATION AND SMALL BUSINESSES
ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW
MANDATE THE LEGISLATURE
ESTABLISH THE SMALL EMPLOYER
FAMILY LEAVE MEDIATION PILOT
PROGRAM IN BUDGET BILL AB
EIGHTEEN SIXTY SEVEN. THE
PROGRAM HAS A SUNSET DATE OF
JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR. AS CURRENTLY WRITTEN WITH
A DEPARTMENT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT
AND HOUSING CHARGES BEEN FILED.
FOR VIOLATION OF CIFRA AGAINST
AN EMPLOYER WITH FIVE TO
NINETEEN EMPLOYEES. THE
EMPLOYEE OR EMPLOYER WOULD NEED
TO REQUEST MEDIATION WITHIN
THIRTY DAYS OF RECEIVING A COPY
OF THE RIGHT TO SUE NOTICE. THE
PROBLEM IS THAT EMPLOYERS DON'T
RECEIVE A COPY OF THE RIGHT TO
SUE NOTICE UNTIL AFTER LAWSUIT
HAS BEEN FILED. UNDERMINING THE
PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM. THIS
IS FOR GOOD REASON WE DON'T
WANT THE EMPLOYER TO RECEIVE
THE RIGHT TO SUE NOTICE IF THE
EMPLOYEE NEVER DECIDES TO FILE
A LAWSUIT. AB TEN THIRTY THREE
CORRECT THE ISSUE BY HAVING THE
EMPLOYEE CONTACT DFG AGES
MEDIATION PROGRAM. IF THEY
DECIDE THEY DO WANT TO PROCEED
WITH THE LAWSUIT. THE DFG H.
WILL THEN CONTACT THE EMPLOYER
TO ARRANGE MEDIATION WITHIN THE
NEXT SIXTY DAYS. IF BOTH
PARTIES AGREE MEDIATION WOULD
BE FRUITLESS THEY NEED NOT
PARTICIPATE. SECONDLY THE BILL
CLARIFIES EDIFICATION OF AND
SUBJECT TO MEDIATION UNDER THE
PROGRAM BUT WAS NOT THE
EMPLOYER CAN. EIGHT TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF ASHLEY HOFFMAN WITH
THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE IN KEVIN MCCARTY WITH
NFIB. THANK YOU I DO HAVE THOSE

MUCH AND GOOD MORNING MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBERS WITH IS
ACTUALLY HOFFMAN ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE AT MOUNT SPONSOR AT
EIGHTY AND THIRTY THREE.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER NOTED- AT TEN
THIRTY THREE CLEAN SEVEN
ALREADY EXISTING MEDIATION
PROGRAM AT THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED LAST YEAR WHEN SB
THIRTEEN EIGHTY THREE WAS BEING
DISCUSSED ABOUT EXPANDING
CALIFORNIA FAMILY RIGHTS ACT
SMALL BUSINESSES WHO JUST FIVE
EMPLOYEES THERE WAS SOME
CONCERN ABOUT POTENTIAL
LITIGATION AS A SMALL
BUSINESSES LEARN TO IMPLEMENT
THE FROCKS WHICH COMES WITH
QUITE A BIT OF WINKING COMPLEX
REGULATION AND- AN AGREEMENT
WAS THEREFORE MADE TO CREATE
THIS MEDIATION PROGRAM. THROUGH
THE EIGHT UNDER THAT PROGRAM IF
THEY SEE HER COMPLAINTS FILED
AGAINST THE SMALL BUSINESS WITH
FEWER THAN TWENTY EMPLOYEES
EITHER PARTY COULD REQUEST THE
PARTY CERTAIN MEDIATE THE CLAIM.
THAT THE FCC HAS GREAT
MEDIATION PROGRAM OF THE ISSUE
WITH THE CURRENT LANGUAGES
STATED IS THAT IN ORDER TO
REQUEST MEDIATION THE EMPLOYER
MUST REQUEST THAT WITHIN THIRTY
DAYS OF RECEIVING A RIGHT TO
SUE NOTICE. HOWEVER BECAUSE AN
EMPLOYER IS NOT ACTUALLY SERVED
WITH A COPY OF THAT OFTENTIMES
THE PLAYERS DO NOT RECEIVE A
COPY OR EVEN SEE IT UNTIL
LITIGATION HAS STARTED OFTEN
WELL AS THE DISCOVERY PROCESS.
SO IN PRACTICE EMPLOYERS UNABLE
TO UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM VIDEO
FEEDS HAS CONFIRMED THAT AN
ACQUAINTANCE SAYS WHERE THE
PROGRAM HAS BEEN USED AS FAR
SINCE JANUARY FIRST IT'S ALWAYS
BEEN THE EMPLOYEE THAT HAS
REQUESTED MEDIATION- EVEN TEN
THIRTY THREE ADDRESSES THIS BY
PROVIDING THAT WHEN AN EMPLOYEE
DECIDES TO MOVE FORWARD THE
LAWSUIT THEY WILL CONTACT. THE
AT THE AGES DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PROGRAM THIS IS THE OFFICIAL
THEN REACH OUT TO THE EMPLOYER
AS LONG AS EITHER THE EMPLOYER
OR THE EMPLOYEE DOES WANT
MEDIATION I REQUEST THAT THE
DFU TOOL THAN A RAIN CHECK. IF
NEITHER PARTY REQUEST MEDIATION
THE EMPLOYER. THREE TO MOVE
FORWARD WITH FILING A LOT. THE
BILL ALSO KERR THAT ATTACKING
ERROR FROM A SPEAKER EIGHTY
LAST YEAR. BY ADDING PAYER IN
LAW. I SECRET A FAMILY MEMBER
THAT EMPLOYEE CAN QUICKLY TO
CARE. I WE JUST WANT TO THANK
THE- ARE. AND THE COMMITTEE AS
WELL AS FEEL AS LEGAL AID AT
WORK AND THAT APART APPARENTLY
HOW- ALL OF US. HAVE HAD AT OF
MEETINGS TRY TO. WORK THIS BILL

ABOUT THE EVENT- THAT THE
COMMITTEE HAS THE EFFORTS.
TODAY WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU THANK
YOU. FOR DROPPING. YES HI GOOD
MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE- KEVIN
MCCARTY ON BEHALF OF NFIB. WE
REPRESENT- PROXIMALLY FIFTEEN
THOUSAND SMALL BUSINESSES AND
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. MANY
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE STILL
SUFFERING FROM THE RESULT OF
COBIT. SMALL BUSINESSES DO NOT
HAVE ACCESS TO HUMAN RESOURCE
PERSONNEL OR LEGAL COUNSEL IN
THE SAME WAY OTHER LARGE
BUSINESSES. IN THE CALIFORNIA
FAMILY RIGHTS ACT WAS EXPANDED
LAST YEAR. SMALL BUSINESSES HAD
TO LEARN A NEW COMPLEX SET OF

YOU MISTER BLOOM I WERE ITEM
NUMBER. TWO EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY
ONE. HI THERE. GOOD MORNING
THIS CHAIRMAN MEMBERS LET ME
BEGIN BY THANKING THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR WORKING WITH MY
OFFICE ON AMENDMENTS WHICH I'LL
BE. ACCEPTING THIS MORNING
THANK YOU AB SEVEN TWENTY ONE
WILL MAKE INVALID ANY DENSITY
RESTRICTION AND PRIVATE
COVENANTS THAT DO NOT ALIGN
WITH CURRENT LOCAL ZONING.
PRIVATE COVENANTS OR AGREEMENTS
ATTACHED TO A PROPERTY AND
REMAIN ENFORCEABLE EVEN AFTER
THE PROPERTY IS SOLD. WHAT WE
ALL KNOW THAT UNTIL THE MID
TWENTIETH CENTURY RACIAL
RESTRICTIONS AND COVENANTS WERE
USED TO REDLINE AND SEGREGATE
NEIGHBORHOODS THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE HAS SINCE MADE
RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
UNENFORCEABLE HOWEVER THESE
COVENANTS OFTEN CONTAIN OTHER
VESTIGES OF DISCRIMINATION SUCH
AS LIMITS. ON THE NUMBER AND
SIZE OF UNITS THAT CAN BE BUILT.
THE RESTRICTIONS IN THESE
COVENANTS ARE OFTENTIMES IN
CONFLICT WITH LOCAL ZONING THAT
WOULD OTHERWISE ALLOW FOR MULTI
FAMILY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT. AND
DESPITE THEIR DISCRIMINATORY
ORIGIN AND CLEAR CONFLICT WITH
LOCAL ZONING LAWS THESE
RESTRICTIONS REMAIN ENFORCEABLE
AGAINST AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPER WHICH BRINGS US TO
THIS BILL. THREATS OF LAWSUITS
OVER THESE COVENANTS MAKE IT
DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPERS
TO GET TITLE INSURANCE COVERAGE
AND FUNDING FROM LENDERS. THE
TIME AND EXPENSE NEEDED TO
REMOVE THE COVENANTS DETERRED
DEVELOPERS FROM DEVELOPING ON
THESE OTHERWISE IDEAL PROJECT
SITES AND SO UNDER AB SEVEN
TWENTY ONE PRIVATE LANDOWNERS
WHO NO LONGER RESIDE ON THE
PROPERTY. CANNOT USE COVENANTS
TO CURTAIL MUCH NEEDED
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
THIS MEASURE CLARIFIES THAT
DENSITY RESTRICTIONS AND
PRIVATE COVENANTS ARE
UNENFORCEABLE AGAINST A 1100%
AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.
AB SEVEN TWENTY ONE ALSO
PRESERVES AND STRENGTHENS LOCAL
CONTROL BY INVALIDATING
RESTRICTIONS THAT CONFLICT WITH
LOCAL ZONING. AB SEVEN TWENTY
ONE IS A MUCH NEEDED MEASURE TO
REMOVE UNNECESSARY BARRIERS IN
OUR EFFORTS IN TACKLING THE
HOUSING CRISIS I HAVE VOTE.
TESTIFYING ON THE BILL TODAY
TARA BEROSSUS WITH THE
COMMUNITY CORPORATION OF SANTA
MONICA AND BRANDON YEAH WITH
PUBLIC COUNCIL THANK YOU I DO
HAVE THOSE TWO WITNESSES
INDICATED HERE BOTH WITH US ON
THE TELEPHONE. TEREBRA ASK US
ARE YOU WITH US. MORNING
HONORABLE KAREN MEMBERS MINING
HARDWARE OUT THIS AND THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY
CORPORATE SANTA MONICA BERMAN
THANK NONPROFIT THAT IS
OPERATED AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN
THE AFFLUENT WEST SIDE OF LA
COUNTY FOR ALMOST FORTY YEARS.
I'D LIKE TO START BY THINKING
ASSEMBLYMEMBER RICHARD BLOOM
FOR CHAMPIONING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING FOR MANY YEARS WE ARE
HERE TODAY THE CO SPONSOR OF
EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY ONE BECAUSE
OF THE PORTABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPERS WE BELIEVE IT'S
IMPORTANT TO SHARE WITH POLICY
MAKERS THE OBSTACLES WE FACE IN
THE HOPES THEY CAN BE FIXED.
THE ISSUES RAISED BY EIGHTY
SEVEN TWENTY ONE ARE
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THEY PERPETUATE HISTORICAL
SEGREGATION OF NEIGHBORHOODS
ASKING FOR ABOUT HOUSING
DEVELOPER ACTING RESTRICTIVE
COVENANTS WITH ITS EXTREMELY
UPSETTING RACIAL PROVISIONS
ALONG WITH ACCOMPANYING DENSITY
RESTRICTIONS MULTIPLE TIMES
USUALLY HAVE CHOSEN TO WALK
AWAY FROM THOSE PROJECTS BUT
AFTER THE EVENTS OF THE PAST
YEAR I FEEL IT'S IMPORTANT
CHALLENGES STATUS QUO AND TAKE
AWAY THE POWER THAT THE
SEGREGATIONIST COVENANTS THE
PAD. TO REMOVE SUCH PRESIDENT
CAN COST A LOT OF MONEY AND
THEN EXTENDED COURT PROCESS AND
FOR PROPERTIES ALREADY THE
OWNER DESIGNATED FOR MULTI
FAMILY HOUSING WE SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT IN ONE
PROJECT WE'RE WORKING ON
CURRENTLY THE PROPERTIES
DESIGNATED MULTI FAMILY BY THE
CITY AND THE ONLY THING
STANDING IN THE WAY IS THIS
PRIVATE OUTDATED COVENANT
AMONGST OWNERS FROM THE
NINETEEN FORTIES. WHICH
PROHIBITS MULTI FAMILY
DEVELOPMENTS IT WOULD PROVIDE
OVER A HUNDRED UNITS OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN A
COMMUNITY THAT HAS NO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING YOU TOO MANY
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS RECORDED
IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE DEEPLY
APPRECIATE ARE COSPONSORED
PUBLIC COUNCIL WHO EXPLAIN MORE
ABOUT THE COVENANTS AND IT'S
WORKED VERY HARD TO HELP US
THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT MORE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CAN BE BUILT
WE CAN'T BEGIN TO ADDRESS
EXCLUSIONARY NEIGHBORHOODS
WITHOUT ADDRESSING RESTRICTIVE
COVENANTS WE URGE YOU TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND
SEGREGATIONIST. PRACTICES THANK
YOU. THANK YOU AND THEN BRENT
PATH. THE BOSTON MEMBERS MY
NAME PLANET HEY I'M STAFF OF
TEN WITH PUBLIC COUNCIL THE
NATION LARGEST BONO FIRM MY
WORK FOCUSES ON A HOUSE
INCREASE DEVELOPMENT I WANT TO
FIRST THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE CAREFUL
ATTENTION TO THE HOUSING CRISIS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THE
QUESTION OF WHERE DENSE
AFFORDABLE HOUSING CAN AND
SHOULD BE BUILT ITS SOMETIMES
CONTROVERSIAL BUT THE DECISION
SHOULD BE MADE BY LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH STATE LAW AND INDIVIDUAL
PROPERTY OWNERS NOT OPENLY
RACIST DEVELOPERS FROM THE
NINETEEN TWENTIES AND THIRTIES.
MANY PEOPLE ARE. WITH THE
HISTORY OF RACIALLY RESTRICTIVE
COVENANTS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO
PROHIBIT PEOPLE OF COLOR FROM
LIVING AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOODS.
UNFORTUNATELY THE LEGACY OF
THOSE RACES RESTRICTION
CALLICOTT. RECORDED
RESTRICTIONS THAT LIMIT
DEVELOPMENT ON A GIVEN PARKS UP
TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF
RESIDENTIAL UNITS OR TO A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF BUILDINGS.
ARE OFTEN TREATED AS
ENFORCEABLE TODAY. EVEN IF
THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE MORE
LIMITING THAN THE APPLICABLES
RUNNING CODE. BY LAND USE RULES
AND EVEN THOSE RESTRICTIONS ARE
CONTAINED IN THE SAME DOCUMENT.
THAT EXPLICITLY RACIST
RESTRICTIONS ON WHO MAY LIVE
THERE. EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY ONE
WOULD MAKE THE PRIVATE AND THE
RESTRICTIONS IN RECORDED
COVENANTS UNENFORCEABLE AGAINST
1100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT. YEAH BY REMOVING A
SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO THE
CONSTRUCTION OF A HOUSING FOR
LOW INCOME PEOPLE. IN
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HIS HAVE
HISTORICALLY EXCLUDED THEM.
JUST LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
MODIFY EXPLICITLY BASIS
RESTRICTION. EIGHTY SEVEN
TWENTY ONE IT'S NOT THE NEAR
IDENTICAL PROCESS OF MODIFYING.
ITS PRIVATE DENSITY DESTRUCTION.
IMPORTANTLY THE BILL WOULDN'T
MAKE ME WOULD EVER. ANY CHANGE
TO LOCAL CODE BY MAN USE RULES.
IT WOULD SIMPLY ALLOW PROPERTY
OWNERS TO BUILD MUCH AFFORDABLE
HOUSING ON A GIVEN PROPERTY AT
THE APPLICABLES ONLY CODE WOULD
ALLOW. ADDITIONALLY THE BILL
DOES NOT DO AWAY WITH
RESTRICTIVE COVENANT ENTIRELY.
ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF
PROPERTY NOT RELATED TO THE
SITE LOCATION OR NUMBER OF
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT THAT CAN
BE BUILT THERE WOULD REMAIN
FULLY ENFORCEABLE. AND EIGHTY
SEVEN TWENTY ONE EXPLICITLY
ALLOWS THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO
RETAIN ITS CHARACTER BY
ENFORCING DESIGNED AND
AESTHETICALLY STRINGENT OR BY
INPUTTING MAINTENANCE FEES TO
KEEP COMMON AREAS IN GOOD
REPAIR. ON BEHALF OF PUBLIC
COUNCIL IN THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING COMMUNITY WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR VOTE
ON EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY ONE. TO
CONTINUE THE PROCESS OF
RECTIFYING THE HARM OF
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY OF
RESIDENTIAL SEGREGATION. AND
DISCRIMINATORY. HOUSING

REGARDING THE THREAT THAT
EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY ONE POSES
TO CONSERVATION EASEMENTS. BACK
CALIFORNIA FIRST ESTABLISH THE
LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR
CONSERVATION EASEMENT IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE.
CALIFORNIA HAS SINCE RELIED.
UPON IT IS GOING TO CONSERVE
THE ENVIRONMENT. WHEN PROTECTED
BY. EASEMENTS TIRING READ.
DISAPPEARING SACRED COMMENDED

HABITAT NEEDED FOR ENDANGERED

SECURING THE CONSERVATION LAND.
I RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF
THESE LANDS PUBLIC MONEY ALSO
FUND CONSERVATION EASEMENTS
YOUR FEDERAL TAX DEDUCTION
SPECTATE TAX CREDIT. THOSE
FEDERAL TAX DEDUCTION LIMIT
IRAQI INTERPRETATION OF THIS
BILL WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE US
CONCERN. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT
THE IRAQIS INTERPRETATION WILL
LEAD THEM TO DECLARE THAT THE
BILL NULLIFIES PUT AT THE
PETROL NATURE CONSERVATION IS
NOT THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
THAT CONSERVATION EASEMENT TO
BE VALID MUST BE IN PERPETUITY.
AND THAT THE IRS IS MADE THEN
SHE TO REMOVE THE LANDOWNERS
TAX DEDUCTION AND POTENTIALLY
IN LINE THE ENTIRE EASEMENT. IN
ADDITION WE ARE DEEPLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE CHILLING
EFFECT THAT THIS MAY HAVE ON
LANDOWNERS. AND WILLINGNESS TO
ENTER INTO CONSERVATION
EASEMENT. MANY OF OUR MEMBER
LAND TRUSTS ASK THAT LANDOWNERS
DONATE A PORTION OF THE
EASEMENT. TO BRING DOWN THE
PURCHASE PRICE AND THEN YOUR
THREAT OF A TAX DEDUCTION NOT
BEEN MAINTAINED IS ENOUGH TO
DETER MANY LANDOWNERS. THAT
SAID WE'RE REALLY ENCOURAGED BY
THE CONVERSATIONS WE'VE HAD
WITH THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE AND
THE SPONSORS TO DATE. I MEAN
MANAGE PROPOSED HERE TODAY BY
THE COMMITTEE. AND WE ARE
ENCOURAGED BY THE RIGHTEOUS
OUTCOME FISTBALL HOPE TO

I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR
STAFF AND SPONSOR FOR WORKING

ALSO APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS. WHICH WE THINK
IMPROVE THE WORKABILITY- ISSUES
OF THE BILL. ALSO WANT TO THANK
GOD COMMITTEE STAFFERS WORK ON
THE BILL WE THINK THE- MAIN
ALICE'S. IS WELL WRITTEN AND
DOES A GOOD JOB OF SUMMARIZING.
THE OUTSTANDING ISSUES. I WOULD
LIKE TO NOTE THAT SEAL TA IS
NOT OPPOSED TO THE- OUR GOAL OF
THE BILL- WE SUPPORT- THE GOAL
OF DEVELOPING AFFORDABLE
HOUSING- WITH THAT SAID WE
THINK THE- BILLS PERMISSIVE-
NATURE TOWARDS THE- RECORDING
OF THE RESTRICTIVE COVENANT
MODIFICATIONS FORMS AS-
PROBLEMATIC- WE THINK IT WILL.
INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD OF
LITIGATION AND- INHIBIT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE- TYPES OF
PROJECTS THAT THE BILL- SEEKING
TO PROMOTE- WE- WE'RE
RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING- SIMPLE
AMENDMENT- TO REQUIRE THE
RECORDING OF THE- MODIFICATION
FOR- WE THINK- IT'LL REMOVE
AMBIGUITY FROM REAL PROPERTY
RECORDS- REDUCE LIKELIHOOD OF
LITIGATION AND- BETTER ENABLE
TITLE COMPANY PARTICIPATION ON
THESE PROJECTS. WE DO NOT THINK
THIS IS AN ONEROUSREQUIREMENTS- RECORDING FORMS
IS SIMPLE IT'S INEXPENSIVE.
SOMETHING THAT DEVELOPERS
ALREADY HAVE TO DO DURING THE
COURSE OF DEVELOPING GIVEN
PROJECT- WE THINK IT'S A WORTHY
STEP TO TAKE GIVEN THE BENEFIT
THAT WE THINK IT CONFERS- SO WE
HOPE TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE OUR
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE-
AUTHORS- OFFICE AND THE SPONSOR
AND- WHAT WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO
RESOLVE THOSE CONCERNS AND
REMOVE OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.

CAPITOL EARLIER THIS YEAR THESE
CONCERNS CENTER AROUND THE ROLE
THAT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS
PLAY IN PROMOTING HATE SPEECH
DISINFORMATION CONSPIRACY
THEORIES. AND VIOLENT EXTREMISM.
FOR OTHERS IT IS THE MYSTERY
BEHIND WHY CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS
IN CONTENT AND NOT OTHERS ARE
SUBJECT TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION.
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
THERE IS GROWING CONCERN ABOUT
SEVEREPOLITICAL POLARIZATION
AND THE ABILITY OF A HANDFUL OF
COMPANIES TO PROFOUNDLY SHAPE
THE PUBLIC DISCOURSE THAT IS
CENTRAL TO OUR DEMOCRACY. AB
FIVE EIGHTY SEVEN ADDRESSES
THESE CONCERNS BY REQUIRING
SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES TO SHARE
BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR
CONTENT MODERATION PRACTICES
WITH CONSUMERS. IN PARTICULAR
THE BILL WOULD REQUIRE THE
LARGEST AND MOST SOPHISTICATED
PLATFORMS TO DISCLOSE. THEIR
CONTENT MODERATION POLICIES.
HOW THOSE POLICIES ARE ENFORCED
AND KEY METRICS AND DATA AROUND
THE ENFORCEMENT OF THOSE
POLICIES. TO BE CLEAR THIS BILL
DOES NOT REQUIRE THESE
COMPANIES TO HAVE ANY SPECIFIC
POLICIES. NOR DOES IT REQUIRE
THEM TO UNDERTAKE ANY TYPE OF
ENFORCEMENT. IT SIMPLY REQUIRES
THEM TO BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT
WITH POLICYMAKERS AND THE
PUBLIC ABOUT WHAT. IF ANYTHING
THEY'RE DOING TO MODERATE
SPEECH ON THEIR PLATFORMS. THIS
NARROW PRESSURE SPECS THE FIRST
AMENDMENT FEDERAL PREEMPTION
WELL AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDING
MEANINGFUL TRANSPARENCY AND
MUCH NEEDED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTABILITY. IN SHORT THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE SOCIAL MEDIA
PLATFORMS TO COME CLEAN ABOUT
HOW THEY ARE MODERATING
CONTENT. SO THAT WE CAN ALL
BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ARE
AMPLIFYING CERTAIN VOICES AND
SILENCING OTHERS. THE PUBLIC
AND POLICY MAKERS DESERVE NO
LESS. FINALLY I'D LIKE TO KNOW
THAT WE APPRECIATE SEVERAL THE
CONCERNS RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION'S. THE AMENDMENT WE
ARE TAKING TODAY ADDRESS SOME
OF THOSE CONCERNS AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THEM TO
STRENGTHEN THE BILL. IN THE
INTEREST OF TIME I'D LIKE TO
MOVE TO MY WITNESS LEARN CRAP
FROM THE ANTI DEFAMATION
LEAGUE. I LOOK FORWARD TO
ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS AND
AGAIN WANT TO THANK THE
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE STAFFER

SO. ARKANSAS WITH AB FIVE
EIGHTY SO A RECORD IN LINE WITH
THIS GOAL WE BELIEVE BILL CAN
BE. FROM ADDITIONAL IMPROVE.
OUT FIRST AS NOTED IN THE
ANALYSIS- THE BILL CAN BENEFIT
FROM CONSIDERATION OF HOW THE
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THESE
MANDATORY QUARTERLY REPORTS
COULD IN FACT BE EXPLOITED BY
BAD ACTORS. WHO WANT TO
CIRCUMVENT THE COMPANY'S
CONTENT MODERATION PRACTICES
THESE REPORTS REQUIRED
DISCLOSURE OF DETAILED
INFORMATION INCLUDING THINGS
LIKE TRAINING MANUALS AND
DESCRIPTIONS OF AUTOMATED
MODERATION SYSTEMS. THIS
INFORMATION IS SENSITIVE AND
PROVIDES ABOUT ACTORS WITH
DETAILS ABOUT OUR CAPABILITIES
AND BEST PRACTICES THIS IS ALSO
WHY OUR CONCERNS ARE
HEIGHTENED. BY THE NEW
AMENDMENTS WHICH HAVE RAISED
THE DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
FROM DESCRIPTIONS OF THESE
ITEMS TO COMPLETE AND DETAILED
DESCRIPTIONS OF THE SAME.
SECOND AND ALSO S NOTED IN THE
ANALYSIS ALTHOUGH THE BILL
REQUIRES THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
POLICIES REPORTS ON ITS WEBSITE
IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT ELSE YOU
TURN GENERAL WILL BE EXPECTED
TO DO WITH THE INFORMATION AND-
REPORTS. THAT'S IN ADDITION TO
THE BURDEN OF POSTING REPORTS
ON A QUARTERLY BASIS AND THE
LEVEL OF DETAILED INFORMATION
DEMANDED THE PURPOSE OF
ACCORDING TO THE AGENCY BECAUSE
ONLINE. IT IS YET UNCLEAR THESE
ARE SOME OF THE REASONS WHY WE

THANK YOU OPERATOR YOU MAY
CLOSE THE LIGHTS ON BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE FOR
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. THIS
GALLAGHER. YEAH AND SO I'VE
BEEN TALKING WITH THE AUTHOR A
LOT ABOUT THIS ISSUE- THIS
YEAR'S AS THE COMMITTEE KNOWS I
HAD MY OWN LEGISLATION- THAT
WOULD HAVE APPLIED FIRST
AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS TO SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORMS- BUT I REALLY
THINK THAT- AND BUT THAT
ULTIMATELY WASN'T SUCCESSFUL- I
THINK ALL TO ME THAT IS WHERE
WE WILL NEED TO GO- BECAUSE
THESE PLATFORMS HAVE BECOME SO-
INSTRUMENTAL THE ARE THE NEW
PUBLIC SQUARE- AND WHERE OUR-
POLITICAL DISCOURSE IS
HAPPENING- MANY THINGS OR
PEOPLE ARE SEEN OUR HEARING ON
THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS ARE
HOW- THEY'RE INFLUENCED ON.
VOTING DECISIONS- POLICY
VIEWPOINTS- BUT I DO THINK YOU
KNOW TALK ABOUT THE AUTHOR I
FEEL LIKE THIS IS ACTUALLY THE
FIRST STEP- AND THE FIRST STEP
IS TO REALLY MAKE IT VERY
TRANSPARENT. AS TO WHAT THE
POLICY ACTUALLY IS BECAUSE I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T- I
KNOW WHAT THE POLICIES ARE
THERE'S ACCOUNTS THAT ARE
GETTING SUSPENDED OR- AND
WITHOUT PEOPLE EVEN KNOWING
THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO ARE
THE CHAIR OF OUR CALIFORNIA GOP
JESSICA PATTERSON WAS RECENTLY
SUSPENDED. FROM HER TWITTER
ACCOUNT AND STILL HAS GOTTEN NO
EXPLANATION FOR WHY- FOR TWELVE
DAYS WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ONTO
HER TWITTER TWITTER ACCOUNT DO
ANYTHING AND IT'S STILL GOTTEN
NO REAL EXPLANATION FROM
TWITTER- AS TO WHY THIS
HAPPENED THIS IS A PROBLEM YEAH
BECAUSE AGAIN THESE
CONVERSATIONS ARE HAVING A BIG
PART OF OUR POLITICAL.
DISCOURSE IN THIS COUNTRY. AND
IF WE HAVE. ACTORS WHO ARE
SUPPRESSING OR STOPPING SPEECH
AND WE AND THERE'S NO REASON
GIVEN OR OR- NO EXPLANATION FOR
WHY. AND WE CAN'T SEE THAT
THERE'S ANY KID OF CONSISTENCY
AND HOW TERMS OF SERVICE ARE
BEING APPLIED AND ENFORCED I
THINK WE HAVE A VERY SERIOUS
PROBLEM. AND OUR DEMOCRACY SO I
KNOW THAT THE AUTHOR I'VE
TALKED A LOT I WANT TO WORK
WITH HIM ON THIS BILL- AND- YOU
KNOW MAYBE IT WOULD TAKE
SOMEONE ON THE RIGHT AND
SOMEONE ON THE LEFT- FOR REALLY
WORKING TOGETHER AND TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE RIGHT
PATH HERE. TO ENSURE THAT WE
HAVE TRANSPARENCY TO ENSURE
THAT WE HAVE- CONSISTENCY- AND
I THINK IT STARTS BY REALLY.
BRINGING ALL THE STUFF TO LIGHT
AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL- IS REALLY ATTEMPTING TO
DO- SO APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
AND I WILL BE SUPPORTING- THE
MEASURE TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU GONZALEZ. I'M A SUPPORT
THIS OF COURSE I AM NOW-
REALIZING THAT. I HAD MULTIPLE
BILLS THAT ARE COMING- PROBES

SUPPORT ROB SMITH AND BRITAIN
SIRES. ARE YOU WITH US ON THE
TELEPHONE. ROB SMITH I AM GO
AHEAD PLEASE YES. OKAY GREAT
THANKS FOR INCLUDING ME IN THIS
CONVERSATION AND- FIRST OF ALL
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME JUST MY
BACKGROUND I OWN A BRAND CALLED
SALUTE PROJECT RESEARCH WHICH
IS A GENDER NEUTRAL- FASHION
BRAND- AND- BEFORE THAT- I
HISTORY IS I WORKED FOR MACY'S
FOR TWENTY TWO YEARS AMONG
THAT. OVERSEEING MACY'S- BUYING
EMERGED AS FOR KIDS AFTER THAT
I WAS THE CHIEF PRODUCT OFFICER
FOR KIDS GLOBALLY FOR NIKE AND
THE VICE OUT I HAVE A GOOD
EXPERIENCE IN THIS IN THIS
AREA- SO I WANT TO TALK ABOUT
IS THIS BILL AND WHY I BELIEVE
IT'S IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY FOR
LEADERS LIKE THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO. TO MOVE FORWARD
WITH THAT- SO IT'S REALLY-
ABOUT TEN MINUTES SO IT WAS UP
TO ME RIGHT NOW I WOULD
INDICATE DEPARTMENT- BECAUSE
KIDS HAVE ALL THE SAME SIZE
BODIES UNTIL THEY APPEAR TO BE
ESSENTIALLY TAKE DOWN WHAT YOUR
GIRL SIGN SO MUCH KIDS SHOP
WITHIN A SHOP AND CURRENT
SHOPPERS OF SUCK BUT THAT'S-
THAT'S A MAJOR MOVE THIS IS.
CREATING A GENERAL SPACES THE
BEGINNING OF THE MOVEMENT AND
REALLY CREATING WHAT I THINK
IS- AS CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO
DO CREATING OUT OF STATE AND
FOR ME SPACE FOR KIDS WHO DON'T
FALL INTO THIS BINARY IDEA OF
WHAT IS TO BE A BOY AND TO BE A
GIRL- IN A RECENT VISIT TO-
MAJOR DEPARTMENT STORE. THE
GIRLS DEPARTMENT ONE TO GIVE
YOU AN IDEA- WHAT IT'S LIKE TO
WALK INTO A GIRL'S FUHRMAN SAYS
ALL YOUR DREAMS SMILE STAY
HAPPY YOU LOVE IS THE WAY BE
COOL BE KIND. OF BOYS CARBON
SAYS LEGEND YOUR AFFECT FUTURE
HERO MAKE TODAY COUNT YOU'LL
CONQUER THE WORLD DUDE SO
WHAT'S HAPPENING- IN DEPARTMENT
STORES AND RETAIL SPACES IS THE
GENDER STEREOTYPES CAUSE
SERIOUS LONG LASTING HARM 60%
PARENTS SAY SO- WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE IS CREATE A
SPACE IN THE MIDDLE AND CREATED
SPACE FOR KIDS TO AND PARENTS
TO- SHOT SAFELY AND SHOP-
WITHOUT GENDER STEREOTYPES- YOU
KNOW IT'S ALREADY HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW BIG BOX RETAILERS
TARGET SHIFTED THEIR ENTIRE.
MERCHANDISING FOR THE TOY
DEPARTMENTS AWAY FROM- GENDER
AND CATEGORY. AND I'M WITH AS A-
FOR A LOT RETAIL. WERE INTO
SPACE. AND WORKING TO FIGURE
OUT AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO MAKE A HAPPEN- THE WAY I
LOOK AT IT IS- BY. THIS IT'S
TAX PROBE. IT'S GOING TO KEEP
JOBS IN RETAILERS IN PLACE
BECAUSE THE INTERJECTION IS
MOVING THIS WAY. AND YOU'RE
JUST HELPING- CONVERT CUSTOMERS
WHO WOULD NORMALLY SHOP IN BIG
BOX RETAIL SPACES. WILL MIGRATE
TO DIGITAL ADDRESS A CONSUMER
SPACES AND BUY ONLINE INSTEAD
OF BUYING IN STORES SO. IT'S
NOT JUST THE RIGHT THING TO DO-
SCORE HUMANS BUT IT'S ALSO A
GREAT THING TO DO PROCESS-
THAT'S WHAT AT THE STATE.

SORRY GO AHEAD IN SUPPORT THANK

MEDDLESOME TRANSCRIBER I AM
SUPPORTING THE BILL GOT YOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT
THEN WE WILL MOVE TO OPPOSITION
I HAVE MATTHEW MCREYNOLDS OF
THE PACIFIC JUSTICE INSTITUTE.
YES A GOOD MORNING- CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE-
MATTHEW MCREYNOLDS SENIOR STAFF
ATTORNEY AT THE PACIFIC JUSTICE
INSTITUTE CENTER FOR PUBLIC
POLICY IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS
THAT WE'RE IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL IS CONCERNED WITH WHERE
THIS WOULD TAKE THE UNRUH CIVIL
RIGHTS ACT AT YOU TO THIS POINT
OUR LANDMARK CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS
FOCUSED ON DENIAL OF SERVICES-
AS WELL AS COMBINATIONS AND
PRIVILEGES. IN BUSINESS
ESTABLISHMENTS THIS BILL WOULD
DO SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT
THAN THAT THIS WOULD TAKE THE
ANDREW ACT IN A DIRECTION WHERE
SIGNIFICANT FINES AND
ATTORNEY'S FEES COULD ACCRUE
NOT BECAUSE ANYONE IS DENIED A
SERVICE DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PURCHASE. THE GOODS THAT
THEY SEEK WAR TO ENTER THE
ESTABLISHMENT THAT THEY SEEK
ISAAC COMMITTEE ANALYSIS POINTS
OUT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT
THAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING WHAT
THIS WOULD DO. IS TAKE THE
CIVIL RIGHTS ACT A DIRECTION
WHERE- BY CUSTOMERS SUBJECTIVE
EXPERIENCE OF FEELING
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE STORES
LAID. WOULD SUBJECT THAT STORE
TOO ONEROUS PENALTIES AND FINES
AND NOW WE SEE THAT EVEN THE
AND NOTICED PROVISION
OPPORTUNITY. CURE HAS BEEN
REMOVED FROM THE BILL. SECONDLY
HOW WE JUST OUT THE US SUPREME
ADDRESS. A VERY SIMILAR ISSUE
TEN YEARS AGO WHEN THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE HAD
TRIED TO HELP PARENTS- QUOTE
UNQUOTE BY RESTRICTING ACCESS
TO VIDEO GAMES. AND THE US
SUPREME COURT IN BROWN VERSUS
OUR TEAM EMERGENCY SATIATION
STRUCK DOWN THAT ATTEMPT AND
NOTED THAT PARENTS DON'T NEED
THE HELP OF THE LEGISLATURE TO
PICK OUT APPROPRIATE TOYS FOR
THEIR CHILDREN. THERE'S NO
LIMITING PRINCIPLE IN THIS BILL
SO- ONE CAN ONLY GUESS WHERE
IT'LL THE NEXT ALTHOUGH AS ONE
OF THE SUPPORTING WITNESSES
JUST NOTED- SOME IN SUPPORT.
WHICH SUGGESTS THAT EVEN
TELLING KIDS TO FOLLOW THEIR
DREAMS IS DISCRIMINATORY AND
STEREOTYPICAL AND NEEDS TO BE
ELIMINATED SO FOR ALL THESE
REASONS- AND OTHERS WE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL.
THANK YOU THIRTY ONE HERE IN
THE HEARING ROOM WHO'D LIKE TO
INDICATE OPPOSITION AB TEN
EIGHTY FOUR. SAY NOT ABOUT THE
WITNESS VIDEO ROOM WHERE THE
REMOTE TESTIMONY SAY. SAY NOT
RIGHT OPERATOR WOULD YOU OPEN
THE LINES FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD
LIKE TO INDICATE OPPOSITION TO
AB TEN EIGHTY FOUR. THANK YOU
IF YOU WISH TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION TO AB TEN EIGHTY
FOUR PLEASE PRESS ONE AND THEN
ZERO AT THIS TIME. I CURRENTLY
HAVE ABOUT SHORE IN Q. IT'LL
JUST BE ONE MOMENT FOR THE
FIRST COMMENT THANK YOU. I WILL
GO TO ONE SIXTY PLEASE GO AHEAD.

I CAN'T TELL I REGULAR CLIENT
OF THE. I KNOW. IN FACT. I HAVE
A SECOND THERE ARE CONCERNS AND
I AM QUOTING FROM. THANK YOU
THANK YOU AFTER FURTHER COMMENT
THANK YOU AT THIS. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU ARE PRETTY CLOSE
ALLIANCE I DON'T BRING IT BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE QUESTIONS
COMMENTS. GONZALEZ I DON'T LIKE
WHAT YOU'RE WHERE YOU'RE GOING
WITH THIS BILL I'M A LITTLE
CONCERNED IN MAYBE YOU CAN
EXPLAIN TO ME. IT WOULD SEEM
JUST. AS SOMEBODY WHO SPENT A
LOT OF TIME AND CHILDREN'S
DEPARTMENTS THAT- A LOT
ESPECIALLY THAT EIGHT YEAR OLD
WHO JUST CALLED AND I'M
THINKING OF THAT EIGHT YEAR OLD.
IS THERE A REASON THE GENDER
NEUTRAL SEEMS I GET IT. BUT IS
THERE A REASON WE'RE JUST NOT.
REQUIRING A COMBINATION OF
KIDS. CLOTHES KIDS. TOYS
WITHOUT DESIGNATION BECAUSE I
THINK. THE TOP FIRST STEP- AND
HAVING. HAD DIFFERENT CHILDREN
CHOOSE DIFFERENT THINGS TO WEAR.
THE. THE GENDER NEUTRAL TENDS
TO BE BOYS YEAH BOYISH CLOTHES
FOR GIRLS RIGHT- TRYING TO
SATISFY- FOR EXAMPLE A BOY WHO
WANTS TO WEAR- CLOSE THAT ARE
LABELED AS GIRLS WHETHER IT BE.
KEEN SURE OR DRESS THAT IS MUCH
MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE
SIGNAGE AND BECAUSE OF THE
EXPECTATION SO I JUST WANT TO
KNOW YOU LIKE IT IS THIS A ONE
STOP APPROACH OR OR ARE WE- IT
JUST SEEMS TO ME I JUST WAS
LIKE LET'S GET RID OF LABELS
AND WHY WERE ADDED. JUST TO
THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE-
STANDARDIZING SIZES BETWEEN AT
BOYS AND GIRLS CLOTHES AND
SHOES IS A KEY COMPONENT OF ALL
OF THIS BEING ABLE TO KIND OF
WEAR WHAT YOU WANT AND FOR
PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO SHOP
ACCORDINGLY JUST A SUGGESTION
FOR IT MAYBE FUTURE LEGISLATION
BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOUR
THOUGHT PROCESS AND- CREATING A
GENDER NEUTRAL CATEGORY RATHER
THAN JUST SAYING LET'S GET RID
OF. THE BOYS AND GIRLS I'LL-
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF SOMEONE
AT. AS YOU MAY KNOW I SPENT IT-
QUITE SOME TIME MEETING WITH
THE RETAILERS AND LEARNING
ABOUT. AND HEARING FROM
DIFFERENT SPECIALTIES IN THE-
NUANCE ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD
ORGANIZED A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES. OF WHAT YOU'RE
SUGGESTING IS SOMETHING THAT I
THINK WOULD LIKE TO GO TO IN
THE SPIRIT AND INTENT. OF WHAT
YOU'RE DISCUSSING- BUT THE BILL
THAT WE HAVE IS TRYING TO NOT
BE SO PRESCRIPTIVE TO ALLOW
FOR. THE RETAILERS TO DO WHAT
THEY ALREADY ARE DOING- THE
BILL BEFORE US DOESN'T CHANGE
ANYTHING. THIS APPLIES TO FIVE
HUNDRED EMPLOYEES OR MORE THERE
ARE DOING IT BACK IN TWO
THOUSAND AND FIFEEN. SO THEY
TEND TO TRY TO NOT BE TOO
PRESCRIPTIVE BUT I SHARE WITH
YOU THE DESIRE THAT YOU HAVE
SPECIFICALLY. I'M JUST ALLOWING
FOR THE INDIVIDUAL AND THE
CONSUMER TO MAKE THE CHOICE
ACCORDINGLY AND AN ORGANIZED
FASHION SO I SHARE THAT- BUT-
THE BILL BEFORE SO IS TO TRY TO
ATTEMPT TO NOT BE. TOO
PRESCRIPTIVE AND JUST ALLOW FOR
THE INDIVIDUAL RETAILER TO
ORGANIZE ACCORDINGLY AS WE SEEK
TO SELF IT. THANK YOU OTHER
QUESTIONS CURRENT. SEEING NONE
WESTERLY MAY CLOSE AT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL THANK
YOU I AM LOOKING FOR MOTION.

NIGHT. HUNDRED SIXTEEN THOUSAND
OF WHICH ARE EXPERIENCING
UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS. WHICH
TOTALED OVER HALF OF OUR NATION

COMBINATION OF STRATEGIES
PREVENTING OR DIVERTING PEOPLE
FROM EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
WHENEVER POSSIBLE ENSURING

FROM HOMELESSNESS TO HOUSING

CHAIR AND MEMBERS AB TWO FIFTY
SEVEN BEGINS TO ADDRESS LONG
STANDING ISSUES IN A FAST FOOD
RESTAURANT INDUSTRY THROUGH THE
CREATION OF A STATE WIDE FAST
FOOD SECTOR COUNCIL BY HOLDING
EMPLOYERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
PROTECTING THEIR WORKERS WHEN
KNOWLEDGE THE ANALYSIS AND I
WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR ALWAYS
SAYING WHATEVER WORKER. IT
TRYING TO MAKE LAWS TO IMPROVE
THEIR CONDITIONS ARE IN THE WAR
STATE POSSIBLE AND I AGREE ALL
LOW WAGE WORKERS. ACTUALLY FACE
THESE ISSUES ON THE JOB AT THIS
PARTICULARLY DEALS WITH FAST
FOOD WORKERS. WHO ALSO HAVE.
THESE CHALLENGES- IN THE SAME
DEGREE AS OTHER VERY LOW WAGE
SERVICE WORKERS. DESPITE
WORKING THE FASTEST GROWING
SECTOR IN THE STATE FAST FOOD
WORKERS EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE
LOWEST WAGES. SOME OF THE
LOWEST WAGES ALONG WITH WAGE
THEFT HARASSMENT UNSAFE WORKING
CONDITIONS. THE PANDEMIC IS
ONLY FURTHER MAGNIFIED THE
SYSTEMIC ISSUES. WITH THE
NUMEROUS FROM KOBE NINETEEN
NUMBERS LAWS AND REGULATIONS
WERE. INSTITUTED TO TRY TO
PROTECT WORKERS FROM INFECTION
AND ALLOW THEM TO STAY SAFE AND
RECOVER WITHOUT FEAR OF LOSING
THEIR LIVELIHOODS. HOWEVER
EMPLOYERS HAVE FAILED TO INFORM
THEIR WORKERS ABOUT THESE RIGHT
TO PRESSURE EMPLOYEES TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN WORKING IN UNSAFE
CONDITIONS LOSING THEIR
LIVELIHOODS. WORKERS HAVE
FAILED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS
DOCUMENTED VIOLATIONS OF COVERT
SAFETY MEASURES PUBLIC HEALTH
LAWS AND LABOR LAWS AND THEY'RE
WINNING THEM. IN ONE NOTABLE
EXAMPLE OF FAST FOOD FRANCHISEE
IN LOS ANGELES ILLEGALLY FIRED
FOUR EMPLOYEES WHO PROTESTED
WORKPLACE CONDITIONS OR UNSAFE.
FOR MANAGING THE SPREAD CODED.
WE KNOW THINGS ARE GETTING
BETTER WITH CO ED AND OBVIOUSLY
OUR RATES ARE ARE EXTREMELY LOW
OW THANK GOD- BUT THAT DOESN'T
CHANGE THE CONDITIONS IN THE
FAST FOOD INDUSTRY
UNFORTUNATELY. AT IT WE NEED TO
CREATE A NEW NORMAL WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THE INEQUITIES
THAT WE SAW THAT EXISTED PRIOR
TO THE PANDEMIC THAT WERE-
AMPLIFIED DURING THE PANDEMIC.
AND THAT COMING OUT THE
PANDEMIC WE SAID WE WOULD DO
BETTER BY WORKERS THIS IS ONE
OF THOSE SITUATIONS. BY FAR
THESE WORKERS HAVE BEEN
ESSENTIAL FRONTLINE WORKERS
HAVE CONTINUED TO FEED US.
DESPITE BEING IN CONDITIONS
THAT WERE LEFT LARGELY UNSAFE
ARE OFTEN AND SAFE. AND- BEING
LOW PAID. BUT THIS. BILL WILL
ALLOW THEM TO ACTUALLY HAVE A
VOICE ON THE JOB WILL PROTECT
THEM FROM RETALIATION BY
UTILIZING- THE TYPE OF LAWS
THAT HAVE BEEN CREATED OR THEY
WILL CREATE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
SAFETY AND GOOD WORKING
CONDITIONS. AND IT WILL
CONTINUE TO IMPROVE- AN
INDUSTRY THAT IS NOT SMALL
BUSINESSES BUT IN FACT IS
OPERATED BY LARGE BILLIONAIRE
CORPORATIONS. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
HOPING TO DO WITH THIS AND WE
HOPE TO GIVE WORKERS A
MEANINGFUL VOICE ON THE JOB IN
A WAY THAT WE'VE NEVER SEEN IN
CALIFORNIA IN THIS INDUSTRY. I

THE LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS OWNER
OPERATING UNDER A NATIONAL
BRAND OR IDENTITY SIMILAR TO
OTHER NON FRANCHISED SMALL
BUSINESSES. AS A LOCAL BUSINESS
OWNER IS IN CHARGE OF ALL THE
DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES INCLUDING
EMPLOYMENT DECISIONS HIRING
FIRING WAGES AND BENEFITS AND
WORKING CONDITIONS IN MY
RESTAURANTS ARE LEFT TO ME. IT
IS THE LOCAL FRANCHISEE WHO
OWNS AND OPERATES YOUR TABLETS
MEANT NOT THE FRANCHISE OR- AB
FIFTY SEVEN WILL IMPOSE- UP. UP
HER FIRST STATE LIABILITY ROLE
ON FRENCH REYES DOORS. THAT
HAVE NO ROLE WHATSOEVER INDIA
TO THE DRAFTING LEGISLATION AND
LOCAL LOCAL LEGISLATION AND
STATE LEGISLATION UNDER AB TWO
FIFTY SEVEN. I COULD BE REDUCED
TO MORE OF A MIDDLE MANAGER
ROLE WITH MY FRANCHISE OR
TAKING A MORE ACTIVE ROLE IN
THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS. AND
THAT WOULD BE A GREAT. MIKE
EXCEPT FOR KIDS TO HELP ALBIA
MANAGERS AND EMPLOYEES THAT
WORK FOR ME. I'M NOT COMPLY
WITH EVERY ASPECT OF CALIFORNIA
LAW RELATING TO WAGES BENEFITS
HOURS. WORKING CONDITIONS AND
WORKER AND WORK WORKER SAFETY.
THIS BILL WOULD REDUCE NEEDS
FROM INDEPENDENT BUSINESS OWNER
TO CORPORATE MATT MIDDLE
MANAGER DESTROYING THE VERY
BEST YET I HAVE WORKED SO HARD
TO BUILD AND SO SEVERELY
RESTRICTED THE ABILITY. YOUR
ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO OWN THEIR
OWN SMALL BUSINESS SIR I NEED
YOU I WANTED LEASE. OKAY THE
BILL ALSO CREATES A FAST FOOD
SECTOR COUNCIL WHICH WOULD HAVE
THE AUTHORITY TO YOU TO ISSUE
ENTIRELY NEW AND DIFFERENT
LABOR. LABOR EMPLOYMENT WAGE
AND HOUR AND HEALTH AND SAFETY
STANDARDS THAT APPLY
EXCLUSIVELY TO FAST FOOD CHAIN
THESE ARE DECISIONS I ALREADY
MAKE EVERY DAY AND I AM VERY.
AND ALREADY SUBJECT TO FEDERAL
STATE AND COUNTY LAW. WHY WOULD
A LEGISLATOR GIVE US. GIVE UP
ITS ABILITY TO UNELECTED BOARD
TO MAKE THAT DECISION SIR I
NEED TO WRAP UP PLEASE. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. RED

PROTOCOLS AND TRACED EACH CASE
AND NOT ONE EMPLOYEE. WHO HAD
COVERED NINETEEN WHICH WERE
QUARANTINE PROPERLY- NONE- NO

WITHIN OUR RESTAURANTS WELL
FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS BILL IS
AN ALARMING PROPOSAL TO EMPOWER
NEW UNELECTED BODY THE FAST
FOOD SECTOR COUNCIL ESTABLISHED
BY THE BILL DOES THAT WAGE AND
WORKPLACE REQUIREMENTS FOR
RESTAURANTS. SETTING WAGE
WORKPLACE STANDARDS AS WE KNOW
IS AN AUTHORITY CURRENTLY
RESERVED FOR THE LEGISLATURE
THE FORCE MY COMING FROM THE
APPROPRIATE STATE AND LOCAL ANY
CHARGE FOR DOING SO. AB TWO
FIVE SEVEN INTENSELY HANDS
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY OVER TO
AFFECTED COUNCIL HAS ZERO
ACCOUNTABILITY TO VOTERS AND
THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO IMPOSE
LABOR EMPLOYMENT POLICIES THAT
SUPERSEDE THOSE BEING MADE BY

WONDERFUL REFLECTION OF THE
GREAT DIVERSITY IN OUR STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. IN PORTSMOUTH
EXISTING LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT

GOOD MORNING ASHLEY HOFFMAN ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IN
OPPOSITION TO AB TWO FIVE SEVEN
THANK YOU. THANK YOU I HAVE NO
FURTHER COMMENTS THANK YOU AT
THIS TIME. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU
ARE PRETTY MAY CLOSE THE LINES
AND I'LL BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS THIS KILEY. ALL I SET
ASIDE MY POLICY OBJECTIONS TO
THE BILL IT. IT SEEMS DIFFICULT
FOR THIS TO SURVIVE A COURT
CHALLENGE BASED ON. SORT OF
BEING A SURRENDER OF
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY SO- I
MIGHT SUGGEST AND EVEN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS- REYES IS
SEEMS TO. REJECT THE RELEASE
RAISES THAT CONCERN. AS I MIGHT
SUGGEST YOU KNOW NARROWING THE
SCOPE OF THE AUTHORITY THAT. IS
GRANTED TO THIS COUNCIL OR
PROVIDING MORE STANDARDS IN THE
LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE
ON HOW TO IMPLEMENT THE
AUTHORITY. OR MAYBE PROVIDE
SOME SAFEGUARDS FOR-
INDIVIDUALS WHO FEEL LIKE- YOU
KNOW THEY ARE TREATED UNFAIRLY
BY THE COUNCIL- AS PERHAPS YOU
KNOW GIVING IT A BETTER CHANCE.
TO STAND UP TO A COURT
CHALLENGE. THANK YOU YEAH THANK
YOU KNOW WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY
IN CALIFORNIA OBVIOUSLY WITH
INDUSTRIAL WAGE- COMMISSION. OF
ESTABLISHING A SIMILAR TYPE OF
BODY TO. INCREASE IMPACT WAGES
IN CERTAIN INDUSTRIES AND
CHANGE- WAGES. THIS DOES EXPAND
BEYOND THAT I DO UNDERSTAND
THAT BUT IT DOES HAVE THE
SAFEGUARDS THAT ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCEDURES ACT SO I THINK AS
THE- AS ANALYSIS POINTS OUT. I
DO BELIEVE THAT PROVIDES ENOUGH
OPPORTUNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS- IN
THE RULE MAKING PROCESS TO
PROVIDE FOR THIS WE WANT TO.
YOU KNOW THIS IS A NEW- A NEW
OPPORTUNITY FOR SECTORIAL-
VOICE OF SUPPORT HELP. PROCESS
RIGHT EVERY TIME WE BRING. A
BILL FORWARD IN THIS IN THIS-
BODY WE HEAR YES BUT- THIS THIS
MIGHT BE A PROBLEM OVER HERE
BUT YOU'RE ALSO AFFECTING THESE
BUSINESSES THAT YOU DIDN'T MEAN
TO THIS WILL TAKE ABOUT
ARGUMENT AWAY BECAUSE WE ARE
SIMPLY. OFFERING A SPACE OF
FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS RIGHT SO
FAST FOOD AND FAST FOOD WORKERS
AND SO I THINK WITH THE- THE
APA AS WELL AS OUR HISTORY IN
CALIFORNIA WITH AYE WC AYE I'M
I'VE- I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE
BUT I APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS
AND- I UNDERSTAND HOW WE COULD
HAVE A DISAGREEMENT ON HOW. ON
HOW THIS PLAYS OUT. THANK YOU
SEE NO OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS BECAUSE YOU MAY CLOSE.
I YOU KNOW HOW. WE HAVE TO
START SOMEWHERE IT IS NO IT
WOULD BE THE FIRST OF ITS TYPE
AND I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE
FRANCHISEES WHO SPOKE IN
OPPOSITION I AM NOT SUGGESTING
IN ANY WAY THAT EVERY
FRANCHISEE OR EVEN- EVERY
BUSINESS MISTREATS ITS WORKERS
OR DOESN'T DO THINGS WELL
UNFORTUNATELY A VAST MAJORITY
OF FAST FOOD WORKERS AT AGREE.
THAT THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS
ARE NOT AS DESCRIBED BY THE
FRANCHISEES SO WHILE WE WOULD
LOVE TO HOLD UP THOSE GOOD
ACTORS- THAT WE HEARD TODAY WE
MUST UNFORTUNATELY LEGISLATE ON
BEHALF OF THOSE WHO ARE NOT
SUCH GOOD ACTORS IN EVEN IN THE
SITUATION THAT WE'RE HEARING
FROM THE FRANCHISEES WERE
HEARING FROM THE BUSINESS OWNER
NOT FROM THE WORKERS THIS IS
ABOUT GIVING THE WORKERS A
VOICE ON THE JOB AS WELL. THEY
HAVE NEVER HAD THEIR INPUT
TAKEN IN A WAY THAT FORMALIZED
THAT'S CLEAR THAT PROVIDE
STRUCTURE AND PROTECTION
EMPOWERS THOSE VERY WORKERS WHO
ARE AS WE HEARD FROM FROM THE
WITNESS WORKERS WHO WHO SPENT
DECADES IN THE INDUSTRY SO I
THINK THE TIME HAS COME IF WE
ARE SERIOUS ABOUT GETTING OUT
OF THIS PANDEMIC IN A WAY THAT
THAT REFOCUSES OUR ATTENTION ON
THE INEQUITIES THAT EXISTED
PRIOR TO IT THIS IS THE FIRST
STEP IN THIS INDUSTRY I
RESPECTFULLY ASK WHEN I ABOUT.
THANK YOU WE DO HAVE A MOTION
AND SECOND THAT MOTION IS TO
PASS AS AMENDED TO
APPROPRIATIONS CALL THE ROLL
PLEASE STONE HI STONE AYE

FINE BUT FOR AUTHORS OUT THERE
IF YOU DON'T LET US KNOW THAT
THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WE JUST
RECEIVED. WRITTEN NOTIFICATION
FROM THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE ABOUT
TWENTY MINUTES AGO WHICH IS NOT
ADEQUATE FOR US AND YOU RUN THE
RISK OF HAVING YOUR BILL NOT
HEARD OR PASSED OVER ON THE
FILE SO AUTHORS I DO SUGGEST
THAT YOU LET. THE COMMITTEE
KNOW IF SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING
TO BE PRESENTING FOR YOU BUT
SOUTH GO AHEAD PLEASE. YEAH I'M
I'M SORRY I THINK IT WAS A-
UNFORESEEN ILLNESS SO- THAT
BEING SAID THAT. AB FOURTEEN
SIXTY SEVEN ON BEHALF OF
ASSEMBLY WOMAN SERVE ON TESTS I
WANT TO BEGIN BY STATING THAT
SHE WILL WORK. ON THE ISSUES
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS AND
WORK ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
AND HIGHER EDUCATION STAFF AS
WELL AS STAKEHOLDERS AS OR
SHOULD THIS. BILL MOVE ON AND
MOVE FORWARD TO THE PREPARATION
THERE ARE SPECIFIC. AMENDMENTS
THAT ARE LISTED SHE'S TAKING
THOSE AUTHORS AMENDMENT SHE
WILL TAKE. THOSE AMENDMENTS.
OKAY OKAY THANK YOU I WILL TAKE
THOSE COOPER THOSE AMENDMENTS
ON HER BEHALF. OVER RECENT DEBT
DECADES IT'S BEEN CLEAR THAT
THE UNIVERSITIES UNIVERSITIES
NEED TO REEVALUATE THEIR
APPROACH TO SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
SHIFTED TRAUMA CENTERED
POLICIES TO BETTER SERVE THE
NEEDS OF SURVIVORS WHEN THE
MOST IMPORT POLICIES THAT MAKE
SURVIVORS MORE LIKELY TO REPORT
AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH CHARGES
IN THE PRESENCE OF TRAINED
SEXUAL ASSAULT COUNSELORS ON
CAMPUS. HOWEVER ANY CAMPUS
POLICIES IN THAT SPACE FOCUS ON
COMPLIANCE AND ARE OFTEN AT
ODDS WITH THE SURVIVOR CENTERED
RESPONSE THAT SEXUAL ASSAULT
COUNSELORS PROVIDE THIS MEANS
THAT SEXUAL ASSAULT COUNSELORS
ARE OFTEN FORCED TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN SUPPORTING THE NEEDS OF
SURVIVORS AND COMPLYING WITH
THE CAMPUS POLICIES THAT MAY
NOT PRIORITIZE THOSE NEEDS EVEN
THOUGH THEY MAY BE DOING WHAT
IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF A
SURVIVOR. A SEXUAL ASSAULT
COUNSELOR MEET FEAR LOSING
THEIR EMPLOYMENT OR FACE
DISCIPLINARY ACTION FOR TAKING
ACTIONS AGAINST THE CAMPUS.
WHEN SCHOOLS MAINTAIN POLICIES
THAT HAMPER THE ABILITY OF
SEXUAL ASSAULT COUNSELOR TO
OPERATE INDEPENDENTLY THEY
ENABLE A CAMPUS CLIMATE THAT
CONDONES SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND
SILENCES SURVIVORS. AB FOURTEEN
SIXTY SEVEN WILL PROVIDE
CLARITY TO SUCH A TO SITUATIONS
BY ESTABLISHING THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT COUNSELORS ARE
INDEPENDENT OF THE CAMPUS TITLE
NINE OFFICE. WOULD ALSO ALLOW
SEXUAL ASSAULT COUNSELORS TO
MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIAL.
CONFIDENTIALITY WITH SURVIVORS
BY ENSURING THE CAMPUS SEXUAL
ASSAULT COUNSELORS HAVE THE
SUPPORT THEY NEED TO DO THEIR
JOB WE WILL ENSURE THAT THEY
WILL TURN. HAVE BETTER TOOLS TO
SUPPORT STUDENT SURVIVORS- WE
HAVE A- WE HAVE TESTIMONY ON
THE LINE AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU MS
GONZALEZ I DO HAVE ONE SUPPORT
WITNESS LISTED NICOLE BUT ERA.
AN INDIVIDUAL ARE YOU WITH US.
I'M HERE GO AHEAD PLEASE. THANK
GOOD MORNING ARE AFTERNOON
SUPPOSE MY NAME IS A BT THERE
I MEAN DR OKAY AT THE OF IN THE
DEPARTMENT I RESEARCH CAMP

THE VICTIMS TO HELP HER BY I DE
THEIR AND OUT ALL THE FROM THAT
CRUCIALLY THEY CANNOT ARE NOT

A SURVEY. WANTED TO MAKE RIP.
TO THEM. THE UNIVERSITY I
STUDIED EXCLUSIVELY PROHIBITED
ALL STAFF INCLUDING ADVOCATE
FOR WHAT THEY CALL IT COURAGE
IN REPORT. THE LIST OF THINGS
THAT CAN BE COUNTED AS
ENCOURAGING REPORT INCLUDE
TELLING A SURVIVOR THAT THEIR
EXPERIENCE THAT THE CAMPUS
DEFINITION OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
OR MAKING INFORMATION. ABOUT
THE RECORDING PROCESS EASILY
AVAILABLE. AND A LOT OF SURVIVE.
WHO ORIGINALLY WANTED REPORTER.
DIDN'T HAVE YOUR- THEY NEEDED
TO DO SO. MANY DRIVERS WHO
BELIEVE THEY HAVE FILED REPORTS
CORRECTLY HAD MADE HIGH EVEN
TAKE THAT UNIVERSITIES
JUSTIFICATION TO IGNORE THEIR
STORY. A VICTIM ADVOCATE COULD
HAVE CORRECTED THESE MISSTEPS
OR BOARD THEM ALL TOGETHER BUT
THEY WEREN'T ALLOWED TO HELP.
INTENTIONALLY ROLLED AWAY FROM
THE CONNECTICUT. THE VICTIM
ADVOCATES IN MY THIRTY HAD
SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH MENTAL
HEALTH INCLUDING SUICIDALITY.
NUMBER FORCED TO QUIT ENACTED
SELF PRESERVATION OTHERS WERE
PUSHED OUT WHEN THEY TRIED TO
BEND THE RULES TO SUPPORT
SURVIVORS AFFECTED LAKE. AS A
RESULT THE VICTIM ADVOCACY
OFFICE BECAME A REVOLVING DOOR
OF STAFF WHO LEFT THEIR
POSITIONS JUST THAT THEY GOT
GOOD AT THEIR JOBS. THE
OPPOSITE TYPICALLY UNDERSTAFFED
AND NEW HIRES WERE
UNDERPREPARED. IT SHOULD BE
OBVIOUS THAT THIS HURTS
SURVIVORS ALL THE RESOURCES
LEGISLATORS TO WORK SO HARD TO
