OPPOSED TO THE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS GOOD
MORNING MADAM. GOOD MORNING
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS HI THIS
IS RICHARD MARCUSSEN WITH THE
WESTERN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTORS
ASSOCIATION AND LIKE THE
JUDICIAL COUNCIL WE HAVE NARAL
OBJECTIONS TO PROVISIONS IN THE
BILL. SB FORTY FOUR MAYBE A
COMPLETELY LEGITIMATE PUBLIC
POLICY BUT IS THE MEDIA HAS
POINTED OUT RECENTLY AUTHORS
WHO WANT TO ACCELERATE HOUSING.
SEARCHES UNDER ALLEN ARE FORCED
TO ACCEPT AMENDMENTS THAT CAN
SUPPORT THE BEST POLICY
INTENTIONS MAKE CONSTRUCTION
MORE EXPENSIVE THAN ACTUALLY
REDUCE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
FOR OTHERWISE QUALIFIED
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WHO ARE
FORCED OUT OF WORK BECAUSE THEY
HAVE NOT GRADUATED FROM A-
CALIFORNIA APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAM. THIS IS BECAUSE THE
CONSTRUCTION UNIONS INSIST ON
LANGUAGE LIKE THAT IN SB FORTY
FOUR THAT MANDATES MINIMUM
GRADUATION RATIOS ELIMINATES
CERTIFIED PAYROLL RECORDS IN
CERTAIN CASES AND BARS THE
STATE LABOR COMMISSIONER FROM
PROTECTING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
ON CERTAIN PROJECTS. AUTHORS
WHO RESIST THESE PROVISIONS
WILL SEE THEIR BILLS FAIL. AND
ARE SOMETIMES PILLORIED BY THE
PROPONENTS OF SKILLED AND
TRAINED AND THERE'S NEVER BEEN
ANY EVIDENCE THAT THIS POLICY
THAT ORIGINATED WITH REFINERY
TURNAROUNDS. ACTUALLY REDUCES
INJURY IMPROVES QUALITY REDUCES
COSTS EVEN COMES SOME
CONSTRUCTION UNIONS QUESTION
SKILLED AND TRAINED WHICH IS
WHY CARPENTRY MASONRY OPERATING
ENGINEERS AND THEIR RELATED
SUBGRAPHS. CAPPED THEIR
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS 30% AND
TEAMSTERS ARE COMPLETELY
EXEMPT. SUPPORTERS ALTERNATELY
SAY THE SKILLED AND TRAINED
EITHER IMPROVE SAFETY OR
INCREASES LOCAL HIRE ONE
LEGISLATOR EVEN DECRIED SING
VEHICLES WITH MEXICAN LICENSE
PLATES AT SOME CONSTRUCTION
SITES BUT THERE'S ZERO EVIDENCE
TO SUPPORT THESE CLAIMS. IT MAY
BEHOOVE THE LEGISLATURE TO
IMPOSE A MORATORIUM ON NEW
SKILLED AND TRAINED MANDATES
UNLESS AND UNTIL THERE IS
EVIDENCE THAT ADDS VALUE TO
CONSTRUCTION. AT THE VERY LEAST
WE SUGGEST THAT YOU STOP NEW
STATUTES THAT BAR THE STATE
LABOR COMMISSIONER FROM
PROTECTING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU-
NOW WE'RE READY FOR TESTIMONY
FROM ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN.
EITHER SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION
ALL START WITH ANYONE IN THE

ANYTHING WE CAN DO TO
STREAMLINED PROCESS HE'S SO
THAT PROJECTS THAT OUR PUBLIC
BENEFIT WHICH JUST ABOUT
INCLUDES EVERY PROJECT THAT
GETS BUILT OTHERWISE IT
WOULDN'T BE BILL. GETS DONE- I
DO NOT AGREE WITH A LOT OF YOU
KNOW SOME OF THE ANCILLARY
THINGS THAT ARE IN HERE.
HOWEVER I AGREE WITH THE TRYING
TO STREAMLINE THE PROCESS
BECAUSE THERE'S A PROPOSED
PUBLIC THE TRANSIT PROJECTS
THAT ARE INCLUDED IN HERE ARE.
SUBSTANTIALLY IMPORTANT- TO THE
BETTERMENT OF THAT PEOPLE'S
LIVES THAT LIVE IN THOSE AREAS-
THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THE LACK
OF TRANSPORTATION- HOWEVER I
DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK IT'S
A GREEN LIGHT AND I AGREE. I
DID THAT BECAUSE I THINK THIS
SHOULD BE DONE FOR EVERY
PROJECT. BECAUSE FOR ME- WHEN
YOU LOOK AT A COSTCO THAT GETS
BUILT AND THEN HAS TO GO
THROUGH A THREE YEAR LAWSUIT
PROCESS BECAUSE THE SEQUEL-
THERE THE PUBLIC BENEFIT TO
THAT AREA IT THAT'S BEING LOST
OUR JOBS- AIR QUALITY- WELL YOU
KNOW JUST YOU NAME IT- AND YET.
WE KEEP CARVING OUT FOR
SPECIFIC. SPECIFIC GREEN THINGS
BUT WE DON'T CARVE OUT FOR WE
DON'T CREATE A PROCESS THAT IS
ACTUALLY. BENEFICIAL. TODAY AND
BECAUSE OF THAT BECAUSE IT
STREAMLINES THE PROCESS IS
BROKEN. AND AND I APPRECIATE
YOU RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS
BROKING AND BRING IT TO US. AND
THAT WHILE IT IS KINDA
NARROWED- I THINK ESPECIALLY IN
LA'S CASE RIGHT NOW- WE NEED TO
BE FOCUSED ON NOT GETTING THIS
PROJECT DONE SO THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING. THE SIMPSONS. ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS
HEY WE DON'T YET HAVE A QUORUM
SO WE WILL VOTE ON THIS- AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME BUT WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE MY APPRECIATE
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS THE
TESTIMONY APPRECIATE YOUR
COMMENTS ASSEMBLY MEMBER- I
WILL JUST SAY IT TO THE
GENTLEMAN FROM THE CONTRACT
ASSOCIATION AT THESE ARE.
MASSIVE TRANSIT PROJECT IS NOT
A HOUSING. BILL YOU KNOW I
DON'T DISAGREE WITH SOME OF THE
THINGS HE SAID WITH REGARDS TO
THE- YOU KNOW THE BATTLE
CURRENTLY UNDER WAY OVER OVER
AND- YOU KNOW SOME OF THE
LANGUAGE THAT. THAT HAS BEEN
ADDED INTO VARIOUS BILLS BUT
THE THESE ARE. AS WAS MENTIONED
BY THE FOLKS MILLION AFTER
THESE ARE THESE ARE BIG TRANSIT
PROJECTS ALL OF THEM ARE BEING
DONE BY PLA'S- SO- YOU KNOW.
I'M NOT SURE THE HIS COMMISSARY
PLIED TO THE KIND OF THINGS
WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS HERE
THIS BILL BUT- RESEARCHER YOUR
RECOGNIZING WHAT WE'RE TRYING
TO DO ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND- AND-
RESPECT YESTERDAY BUT WHEN THE
TIME COMES. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT
TODAY SHOVEL THE NEXT YES NEXT
IS ITEM TWO SB EIGHTY THREE
OKAY THANK YOU. HI THIS IS
ANOTHER BILL- THAT- THIS
RECEIVE STRONG BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT- OVER IN THE SENATE-
AND I THINK IT'S IT WAS
RECOGNIZED BY THE SENATOR
GROWTH HI I WAS A BILL THAT IS
PERMISSIVE IT PROVIDES A VERY
INTERESTING TOOL TO CITIES THAT
ARE CURRENTLY REALLY STRUGGLING
WITH- WITH ALL THE POLITICS
ASSOCIATED WITH SEA LEVEL RISE
SO LET ME GET INTO THIS- BUT
LET ME START BY AT A VERY
EXPRESS MY APPRECIATION AND MY
ACCEPTANCE OF THE NIGHT OF THE
AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED THE
ANALYSIS THE ODD MORE
SPECIFICITY. TO HELP US AROUND
OUT THE PROGRAM AND I THINK
THEY ALSO WHAT I REALLY I WAS
TELLING MY STAFF ACTUALLY I'VE
READ OVER THE MEN'S OF THESE
ARE REALLY GOOD AMENDMENTS
BECAUSE THEY- THEY- PAY FORCE.
ANALYSIS YOU KNOW WE ALREADY
HAVE A LIMIT OF IT BUT IT
REALLY FOCUSES IN ON. THE
IMPORTANCE OF OUR- INSURING
THAT THIS DOESN'T LOSE ANY
MONEY. FOR THE STATE OR FOR THE
PUBLIC PURSE THE COST
EFFECTIVENESS. THE PUBLIC
BENEFITS ASSOCIATED WITH BUYING
A PROPERTY AND ALSO. THE EXTENT
TO WHICH- IT'S PART OF A- OF A
OF A OF A LOCAL REGIONAL PLAN
THAT'S COHERENT AND- IS- COME
MORE COHERENTLY ADDRESSING THE
IMPACTS OF SEA LEVEL RISE SO
WE'RE SEEING SEA LEVEL RISE AS
AN ISSUE. I'VE BEEN DOWN THE
STATE OUR LA TIMES THAT A
FASCINATING- SPECIAL SECTION ON
THIS ISSUE- THE L. A. O.
ESTIMATES AROUND EIGHT TO TEN
BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF
EXISTING PROPERTIES LIKELY TO
BE UNDER WATER BY TWENTY FIFTY.
WHICH IS WILD TO THINK ABOUT
MORE THAN A HUNDRED FIFTY
BILLION DOLLARS IN PROPERTY
COULD BE AT RISK OF FLOODING.
BY- TWENTY BY. YEAH TWENTY ONE
HUNDRED IS THAT THE AND HOW WAS
IT- THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE
LOOKING FOR WAYS TO ADDRESS
THIS CRISIS- BOUNCING VERY
LIMITED BUDGETS WITH FEW GOOD
OPTIONS WITH THE NEEDS OF
HOMEOWNERS. SO WHAT YOU'RE
SEEING IS THE YOU HAVE AREAS
THAT ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING
FLOODING THAT THE C. IS
STARTING TO- TO RISE. AND- THE
MORE FIND A COURSE THAT BUYING
OUT LOCAL RESIDENTS RELOCATING
THEM IT'S BEEN VERY
CONTROVERSIAL IN SOME INSTANCES
COST PROHIBITIVE- SO THERE'S A
LOT OF POLITICS IN THESE TOWNS
THOUGH RIGHT THE LOCAL
HOMEOWNERS COME TO THE CITY
COUNCIL THEY SAY YOU GET USED
TO SPEND EVERY WAKING HOUR
DOING EVERYTHING YOU POSSIBLY
CAN SPENDING EVERY LAST DIME OF
THE CITY BUDGET TO PROTECT MY
HOME AND YOU CAN SEE WHY PEOPLE
DO THAT THIS IS THEIR HOME IF
SOMETHING THAT NEED IS
INCREDIBLY MEANINGFUL TO THEM.
AND CITIES ARE NOW FACED WITH
THESE INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT
CHOICES WHETHER HAVING TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN BUIDING PUTTING
MORE MONEY INTO A SEA WALL
WHICH KEEPS COLLAPSING- TO
PROTECT IT A STRETCH OF BEACH
OF THE INSPECTOR HOME'S OR YOU
SEE THAT MONEY GO TO THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT OR TO YOU KNOW THE
PARKS OR OR OR OTHER IMPORTANT
LOCAL SERVICES. SO THIS IS THE
THIS IS THE IN FACT THE TIMES
HAD A LITTLE CHART WHERE YOU
COULD FOLLOW THE DIFFICULT
DECISION MAKING OF A CITY
COUNCIL MEMBER TRYING TO
BALANCE THE INTENSE LOCAL
POLITICAL NEEDS YOUR BUDGETARY
NEEDS. IT'S SUCH A- SO WHAT
WITH THE IDEA HERE- IS THAT AND
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT THE
COST IN LIVES AND TREASURE THE
COULD HAVE BEEN SAVED OF
CALIFORNIA TAKING MORE ACTION
DECADES AGO. AND TO BETTER
MITIGATE AGAINST- THE THREAD OF
DEVASTATING WILDFIRES. WHAT IF
WE CREATE A FIND. A PERMISSIVE.
THAT WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS WITH THE FINANCING
OPTION. TO ALLEVIATE THE RISKS
OF SEA LEVEL RISE WHILE
PROTECTING BOTH PROPERTY OWNERS
AND TAXPAYERS SO THE IDEA IS
IT'S A REVOLVING LOAN FUND. IT
WITH BASICALLY WOULD GO FOR THE
MONEY WOULD GO TO LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO BUY PROPERTIES
THAT WILL BE THREATENED IN IN A
DECADE OR TWO. ARE THEY CAN
ALLOW THE OWNERS TO SELL WHILE
THE HOUSE STILL HAS VALUE. AND
OF COURSE THESE ARE VERY OFTEN
IS VERY ATTRACTIVE PROPERTIES
RIGHT ON THE WATER. AND THEN
THE GOT THE GOVERNMENT ENTITY
CAN RENT OUT THE PROPERTYREPAYING THE LOAN. IN SOME
CASES POTENTIALLY EVEN EARNING
REVENUE. AND OF COURSE WE GET
ONE OF THE KEY AMENDMENTS AT
THE COMMITTEE ACCESS TO TAKE
WAS THAT WE REALLY DO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE'S- THERE'S THE OTHER
THIS THAT THE T. THIS PROCESS
WILL GENERATE ENOUGH REVENUE TO
REPAY THE LOAN BECAUSE WE DON'T
WANT THIS TO BE A NET LOSS. TO
TAXPAYERS MAYBE IN SOME CASES
IT COULD EVEN BE A GAME. SO
THEN WHEN THE PROPERTY IS THAT
IT RISK. OF OF FLOODING FROM
RISING SEA LEVELS IN THE HOUSE
COULD BE DEMOLISHED OR
RELOCATED. WITHOUT LOCAL
RESIDENTS OR TAXPAYERS DURING
THE COST. AND WITHOUT THE
INCREDIBLE POLITICAL UPHEAVAL.
AND THE AND THE IMPOSSIBLE
SOPHIE'S CHOICES. THAT CITY
COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE CURRENTLY
BEING ASKED TO MAKE- IN CITIES
UP AND DOWN THE STATE. TOTALLY
PERMISSIVE. AND WE WERE
STRUCTURE IN A WAY THAT IT
WOULD BE EITHER COST NEUTRAL
OR- OR OR HOPEFULLY A
BENEFICIAL. SO I HAVE WITH ME
TODAY JENNIFER SAVAGE WITH THE
SURFRIDER FOUNDATION IN
ISABELLA GONZALES POTTER WITH
THE NATURE CONSERVANCY TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF ON BY WE WANNA
SEE PERMISSIVE NOT JUST
PERMISSIVE FOR THE CITY LIGHTS.
BUT NO HOMEOWNER WOULD HAVE TO
DO THIS IF THEY DON'T WANT TO
RIGHTS OF A HOMEOWNER DECIDES
THEY WANT TO STICK IT OUT IN
THEIR HOME THERE'S NOTHING IN
THIS BILL ACTUALLY NOTHING IN
THIS BILL THAT WOULD REQUIRE
THEM. TO SELL SO WITHOUT A LEFT
TURN TO MY WITNESSES JENNIFER
AND DIES ABOUT. THANK YOU
SENATOR. OF BEFORE WE- HEAR THE
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT- I'D LIKE
TO ASK SECRETARY TO CALL ROLE
WE HAVE A QUORUM. NO WE DON'T.
TWO THREE. FIVE FIVE. NEED SIX
OH I THOUGHT WE NEED TO FIVE
OKAY. OKAY OKAY THEN I WILL DO
THAT. OKAY THEN LET'S A
MODERATOR CAN YOU PLEASE OPEN
THE LINE FOR WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY NAME IS
THE SORT OF ON TALIBAN IN THE
POLICY ASSOCIATE WITH THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY- IN AN
EFFORT TO BE A SHORT ON TIME
HERE IN AVOID REDUNDANCIES AND
SENATOR ALAN GIVE US THE TICKET
OPENING ALL TRY TO KEEP MY
REMARKS PRETTY SHORT. OF THE
NATURE CONSERVANCY STRONGLY
SUPPORTS SB EIGHTY THREE- SOME
INTERESTING STATISTICS THAT I'D
LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT IS THAT WITH
THE PACIFIC OCEAN PROJECTED TO
RISE NINE FEET IN SOME COASTAL
AREAS OF CALIFORNIA BY TWENTY
ONE HUNDRED WE NEED TO TAKE
ACTION. TO PROTECT THE ENTIRE
COAST WE ELEVEN DEPEND ON
WHETHER DEVELOPED OR WILD WE
MUST ALSO HELP OUR COMMUNITY
THE LEVY EIGHT THE RISK OF
RISING OCEAN LEVELS WHILE
PROTECTING BOTH PROPERTY OWNERS
AND NATURE. TNCS RECENT SCIENCE
REPORT SHOWS 55% OF CALIFORNIA
COASTAL HABITAT IN JEOPARDY FOR
SEALABLE RIGHT THAT FIFTY FIVE
PERCENT. WE BELIEVE THAT SB
EIGHTY THREE WILL BE AN
IMPORTANT TOOL TO HELP ADDRESS
THE CLIMATE IMPACTS TO HABITAT
IN THE STATE FUNDING COULD BE
PRIORITIZED TO PROPERTIES THAT
PROVIDE MULTI BENEFITS
INCLUDING PROTECTING COASTAL
HABITAT PROTECTING EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE OR PROTECTING
PARKS AND OTHER OPEN SPACES-
CALIFORNIA MUST ACT TO PROTECT
COASTAL COMMUNITIES FROM
CLIMATE CHANGE IN SB EIGHTY
THREE DEMONSTRATES A NEW
APPROACH TO ADDRESS THE
AUTHORIZED- AND ADDS SENATOR
ALLEN HAS NOTED IT HAD ENJOYED
SOME BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. SO WE
pLEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND
URGE YOUR SUPPORT. FOR THE BILL
TODAY THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING
MADAME CHIANG KAI MEMBERS
JENNIFER. CALIFORNIA POLICY
MANAGER FOR THE THIRD
FOUNDATION. SURFRIDER THE
NONPROFIT OR- THAT TO BEACH
ACCESS AND COOK TO PRESERVATION.
AND AS YOU HAVE HEARD THE
CONSEQUENCES OF FAILING TO
ADAPT IF YOU'LL RIDE TO BE
PROFOUNDLY DAMAGING TO
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY OUR
COASTAL COMMUNITIES. ARE INLAND
COMMUNITIES RESIDENTS RELY ON
THE BEACH TO ESCAPE SUMMER
HEAT. AND TO OUR MARINE
ENVIRONMENT. INTERCRATER STATED
WITH EACH REPORT CALIFORNIA IS
THE ONLY STATE THAT RENDON AND
BECAUSE OF PRESERVATION
PLANNING. SO WHILE THE STATE
INTENTIONS WITHOUT EMPOWERING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO IMPLEMENT
PROACTIVE ADAPTATION WE WILL BE
WITH OUR BEACHES. EVEN THE MOST
PROACTIVE JURISDICTIONS ARE
CURRENTLY FAR BEHIND WHERE THEY
NEED TO BE THIS IS LARGELY A
RESULT OF NOT HAVING ENOUGH
FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PLAN
APPROPRIATELY. AND WHEN YOU ADD
IN THE OFTEN FRAUGHT NTURE OF
LOCAL POLITICS. IT'S EASY TO
SEE HOW CITIES AND COUNTIES ARE
LEFT WITH FEW AGREEABLE OPTIONS
REGARDING HOW TO HELP COOK THE
PROPERTY OWNERS THE JACK IF YOU
LOVE A CONTINUE TO RISE. THIS
RESULT IN CONSTANT CONFLICT
BETWEEN STATE GUIDANCE AND WHAT
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS ARE WILLING
AND ABLE TO DEAL. SB EIGHTY
THREE WITH ALLEVIATE THE
CONTENT BY ESTABLISHING A FUND
FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT. AND
INCREASE THEIR ABILITY TO
STRATEGIZE IN WAYS NECESSARY TO
PRESERVING CALIFORNIA POLITICOS
AND MAINTAINING COASTAL ACCESS
EQUITY INTO THE FUTURE. IT'S A
TRULY FORWARD THINKING BILL IN
A TIME WHEN LONG TERM PLANNING
HAS BEEN IN SHORT BY. PROVIDING
A REAL SOLUTION TO THE T. LEVEL

OKAY THANK YOU WELL MY NEXT
FILM YES SB THREE FORTY THREE
TO ME THIS IS THE SECOND ALASKA
AS BEFORE THIRTY THREE ANOTHER
STE A BILL THAT RECEIVE SRONG
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. ON THE
ASSEMBLY IS ON THE SENATE SIDE
AND THERE'S NO REGISTERED
OPPOSITION THIS IS A BILL THAT-
WILL IMPROVE OUR COASTAL
COMMISSION'S ABILITY TO
IMPLEMENT AND ENFORCE THE
COASTAL ACT AND PROTECT. OUR
COASTAL WETLANDS STREAMS FOR IS
ENDANGERED SPECIES HABITAT
AGRICULTURAL LAND SCENIC VIEW
SHEDS LOW COST RECREATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES. AND SO- YOU KNOW
FOLKS MAY RECALL THAT THE
BECAUSE THE COMMISSION
HISTORICALLY WAS LIMITED IN ITS
ABILITY TO ENFORCE I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE I HAVE
ITEM THREE IS SB THREE FOUR
SORRY I WAS DOING FOR THIRTY
THREE OKAY YEAH I WOULD HAVE
PREFERRED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
KNOWS THAT THERE'S THROUGH ALL
THIS YES. OKAY ONCE AGAIN
ANOTHER BILL WOULD OFTEN THIS
ALSO HAD STRONG BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT THE SENATE THREE FORTY
THREE THE TRUTH IN LABELING FOR
RECYCLING MATERIAL RECYCLABLE
MATERIAL SO LET ME START BY
ACCEPTING THE- THE COMMITTEE'S
ANALYSIS- AMENDMENTS AND I WANT
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR ITS
STRONG AND DILIGENT WORK ON THE
BILL. ON THE CHANGES THAT WERE
LISTED I REFLECT ONGOING
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
OPPOSITION. AND THEY HELP US TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT
INDUSTRY HAS RAISED SO THIS IS
A IS A SIMPLE MEASURE I KNOW I
KNOW WE'RE ALL SUPPOSED TO WARY
WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT BUT BUT IT
IS IT IS SO THE IDEA IS THAT
WHEN THE CURRENT LAW PROHIBITS
THE MANUFACTURE FOR MAKING
UNTRUTHFUL ENVIRONMENTAL
CLAIMS- SUCH AS RECYCLABLE IF
AN ITEM IS NOT REALLY
RECYCLABLE IN THE REAL WORLD.
I'M SO YOU CANNOT WRITE THE
WORD RECYCLABLE ON YOUR BOTTLE
IF YA IF THE BOTTLES NOT REALLY
RECYCLABLE AND YET- YOUR FOLKS
YOU RIGHT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO PUT
THE WORD RECYCLABLE ROUTINELY
PUT THE RECYCLING SYMBOL ON
THEIR ITEMS ARE BECAUSE THERE'S
NO PROHIBITION. AGAINST THAT SO
THIS BILL EXTENDS THIS
PROHIBITION TO THE FOR THE USE
OF THE CHASING ARROW. SYMBOL
THAT RECYCLING SYMBOL THAT WE
ALL KNOW. IF THE MATERIALS
RECYCLE AND IT IT OFFERS CLEAR
GUIDED ON WHAT IS. CONSTITUTES
HERE'S THE SAD TRUTH MEMBERS.
ARE LESS THAN 15% OF SINGLE USE
PLASTIC IS ACTUALLY RECYCLED.
IN OUR STATE AND WE ACTUALLY
HAVE RELATIVELY HIGH NUMBERS
COMPARED TO OTHER PLACES- NOW
RECYCLING COSTS ARE NOW EXCUSE
EXCEEDING THE SCRAP VALUE OF
THE PLASTIC MITCHELL ITSELF AND
THIS IS ONE OF THE REALLY
IMPORTANT THINGS. THERE IS SO
MUCH. ARE YOU FOLKS JUST
DUTIFULLY PUT ALL THESE ITEMS
IN THE BLUE BINS HOPING THAT
THESE ITEMS WILL BE RECYCLED.
IT'S CALLED WISH CYCLING. AND
SOMETIMES- YOU KNOW THE OTHER
DUTIES THERE'S FOLLOWING
INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ON THEIR ON
THEIR OF. PLASTIC MATERIALS
THEY SEE THE RECYCLING SYMBOL I
USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME I
CAN TELL I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT
THIS. MY NEWSPAPER I STILL READ
THE YOU KNOW THE L. A. TIMES IN
AT MY HOME AND THEY COME IN
THIS LITTLE SLEEVE. AND THERE
WAS A RECYCLING SYMBOL ON
THERE. AND I WOULD ALWAYS
DUTIFULLY SEPARATED OUT AND PUT
IT RIGHT IN MY RECYCLING BIN
BECAUSE IT HAD THE RECYCLING
SYMBOL THERE. I WILL TURNS OUT
THAT'S IT THAT'S A TYPE OF
HIGHLY UNRESECTABLE PLASTIC IT
IS TECHNICALLY RECYCLABLE UNDER
THE BEST OF CONDITIONS AT A
THOUSAND DEGREES AND SOME LAB
IN. IN SAN MARINO BUT- BUT YOU
KNOW THE OTHER DAY IT'S NOT
IT'S NOT IT'S NOT RECYCLE THEIR
NOT RECYCLED IN THE REAL WORLD
AND IN FACT THOSE NEWSPAPER
SLEEVES AND- SO MANY EXAMPLES
OF THIS. ACTUALLY AN UPCOMING
UP THE PROCESS. THE END UP-
JAMMING UP THE MACHINES THEY
END UP GETTING STUCK INTO THE
PAPER. THEY ACTUALLY END UP
MAKING THE WHOLERECYCLING
SYSTEM MORE. EXPENSIVE AND LESS
EFFICIENT. AND SO. THAT YOU
KNOW. SO FIRST OF ALL IF A IF
THE MATERIAL IS NOT ACTUALLY
RECYCLABLE THEY HAVE TO GO
THROUGH A WHOLE PROCESS. OUT
THE RECYCLING. AT THE SORTING
CENTERS. IF YOU HAVE A BIT OF
ONE OF THE SENATE BEFORE. LET'S
GO I IT'S A IT'S A I OPENING
EXPERIENCE. AT THE ITEM ACTION
HAS TO BE. PHYSICALLY REMOVED
FROM THE CONVEYOR BELT OUT THE
RECYCLING FACILITY AND THEN OF
COURSE CARTED AWAY. TO A
LANDFILL. I THE EXTRA THIS IS
EXTRA WORK IT INCREASED THE
RECRUITERS WASTE RATES IT. IT
THE COST OF THE PROCESS TRULY
MICHAEL MATERIAL. IT'S ALSO
COURSE CONTAMINATED. THE- THE
EXISTING RECYCLE MUCH OF ONE
REASONS WHY CHINA. DECIDED TO
END- THE IMPORTATION OF A
RECYCLING MATERIAL ESPECIALLY
IN THE AREA PAPER FOR EXAMPLE
IS IT SO MUCH PLASTIC. WAS
GETTING STUCK IN THE PAPER
VEILS- THAT. THAT THE PAPER THE
VALUE OF THOSE PAPER BALLOTS
WAS JUST RENDERED- IS SUCH THAT
IT JUST WASN'T. WORTH THEIR
THEIR RECEIVING THEM ANYMORE.
AND HERE'S THE THING IT'S ABOUT
IT IS ALREADY HITTING YOUR-
CONSTITUENTS. POCKETBOOKS A
SURVEY RELEASED THIS YEAR BY
THE CALIFORNIA CITIES FOUND
THAT MORE THAN SEVEN OF TEN
CITIES ANTICIPATE INCREASING
WASTE COLLECTION RATES BY AS
MUCH AS 20% MEMBERS. TO COVER
THE COST OF MANAGING THE
ADDITIONAL WASTE SIX COUNTY
SACRAMENTO JUST RAISE THEIR
RATES FOR TRASH COLLECTION I
BELIEVE BY LITTLE OVER TEN
DOLLARS NOW ON TOP OF AN
ALREADY. AND IS SUBSTANTIAL
AMOUNT TEN DOLLARS A MONTH SO
THE STRAIN ON LOCAL RECYCLING
CONSUMERS MISTAKENLY BELIEVE
THAT THE CHASING EURO SYMBOL IT
OFTEN IN CIRCLES THE PLASTIC
RESIN IDENTIFICATION CODE.
MEANS THAT THE PRODUCT IS
RECYCLABLE. HI SO. YOU KNOW. WE
KNOW THAT THAT RECYCLING IS
CONFUSING I'M THERE'S OF THERE
WAS A STUDY THAT WAS TAKEN BY
THE CONSUMER BRANDS ASSOCIATION
THAT THAT FINDS IT MORE. THEY
GIVE IT MERICAN FIND RECYCLING
KNOWING HOW TO RECYCLE WHAT TO
RECYCLE MORE CONFUSING THAN
BUILDING IEA FURNITURE. DOING
THEIR TAXES PLAYING THE STOCK
MARKET OR UNDERSTANDING THEIR
SPOUSE. SO THERE WE ARE WE WANT
TO WE WANT TO CONFORM. THE
RULES. SO THAT IF YOU CAN'T SAY
THAT THE ITEMS RECYCLE IF YOU
CAN'T PRINT THAT IF YOU'RE NOT
ALLOWED UNDER OUR- UNDER OUR
RULES TO PRINT PRINT TO PRINT
THAT YOUR ITEM IS RECYCLABLE
BECAUSE IS NOT TRULY RECYCLE IN
THE REAL WORLD YOU SHOULD BE
ABLE TO SLAP. THE CHASING EURO
SYMBOL THERE. ON TO THAT ITEM.
SO I WITH ME TODAY WE HAVE
HEIDI SANBORN FROM THE NATIONAL
STEWARDSHIP ACTION COUNCIL. WHO
ALSO CHAIRS THE STATEWIDE
RECYCLING COMMISSION AND ALSO
MARKET PRAYER. WHO'S HERE FROM
REPUBLIC SERVICES YOU CAN GIVE.
THAT THE GUY ON THE GROUND
EXPERIENCE OF A WASTE HAULER
WHO DEALS. WITH ALL OF THIS.
MESS SO LET'S START WITH. WHAT
PEOPLE. WOULD KNOW THANK IT
WILL GO HEAD START WITH MARK
SINCE HE'S HERE IN THE IN THE
ROOM. ALL RIGHT- MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE US
SENATOR ALAN- WE WANT TO THANK
CENTER ALLEN FOR BRINGING THIS
MEASURE FORWARD. AND APPRECIATE
HIS EFFORTS TO MAKE RECYCLING
MORE EFFECTIVE. REPUBLIC
SERVICES- SUPPORTS SB THREE
FORTY THREE A MEASURE THAT IS
AS MUCH ABOUT TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING. AS IT IS ABOUT
IMPROVING CALIFORNIA'S
RECYCLING SYSTEM. CALIFORNIA'S
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE IS ONE
OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND
EFFICIENT IN THE WORLD BUT IN
SPITE OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
BEING INVESTED. INTO THE SYSTEM
AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO IMPROVE
RECYCLING CONTAMINATION REMAINS
ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT AND
EXPENSIVE OBSTACLES.
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS HAVE
BEEN MADE AN EXTENSIVE MANUAL
SORT LINES OPTICAL SORTER
SCREEN SHREDDER'S BLOWERS AND
OTHER ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS AND THEIR
LOCAL HAULERS SPEND HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ANNUALLY
EDUCATING CONSUMERS. ON WHAT IS
RECYCLABLE IN AN EFFORT TO
IMPROVE RECYCLING RATES AND
REDUCE CONTAMINATION RECYCLING
COSTS. WITH THOSE DOLLARS ARE
WASTED IF PACKAGING- MATERIAL
INCLUDING MARKINGS THAT FALSELY
CLAIM THOSE PACKAGES OR
MATERIALS ARE RECYCLABLE. FALSE
CLAIMS OF RECYCLABILITY CONFUSE
CONSUMERS WHO ALREADY STRUGGLE
IDENTIFYING CORRECTLY WHAT
SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE
RECYCLING BIN I'M SURE ALL OF
YOU HAVE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE-
AS WELL AS EXPERIENCE WITHIN
YOUR FAMILIES. SENATE BILL FIVE
THREE FORTY THREE IS FINAL
MENTALLY ABOUT TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING DON'T CLAIM YOUR
PACKAGE OR MATERIAL IS
RECYCLABLE ON THERE UNLESS
THERE IS AN ACTUAL RECYCLABLE
RECYCLING MARKET FOR THE
MATERIAL. AND IT CAN BE READILY
AND EFFECTIVELY REMOVED FROM
THE WASTE STREAM. CENTER ALLEN
TOOK MY EXAMPLE IN TERMS OF
PLASTIC FILM- THOSE ARE
REPEATED WITH OTHER KINDS OF
CONTAINERS AND SOLID WASTE THAT
CLAIM TO BE RECYCLING BUT IN
FACT OR NOT. SB THREE FORTY
THREE CENTS AN EFFECTIVE IN
CLEAR STANDARD FOR
RECYCLABILITY THE WILL INCREASE
RECYCLING EFFICIENCIES IMPROVE
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE IN
RECYCLING AND WILL REDUCE
RECYCLING RATES FOR RATE PAYERS
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS AND
RECYCLING. WE THANK YOU CENTER
ALLEN AND WE URGE I DON'T.
THANK YOU. NEXT WE HAVE HEIDI
SANBORN ON THE LINE MODERATOR
CAN YOU PLEASE OPEN THE LINE
FOR HIGH MISS SAMPARK. THANK
YOU KAREN MEMBERS MY NAME IS
HEIDI SANBORN AND I AM THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
NATIONAL STEWARDSHIP ACTION
COUNCIL A NONPROFIT THAT
ADVOCATES FOR CIRCULAR ECONOMY
AND A CO SPONSOR OF A THREE
THREE FOUR THREE. I ALSO HAVE
THE PRIVILEGE OF SERVING AS
CHAIR OF THE STATEWIDE
COMMISSION ON RECYCLING MARKETS
AND CURBSIDE RECYCLING A GROUP
OF SEVENTEEN DIVERSE
STAKEHOLDERS TO REPRESENT LOCAL
GOVERNMENT WASTE HAULERS AN
NGO. BUT IF CLASS WAS PROVIDING
ADVICE THE STATE ON HOW TO
REDUCE CONTAMINATION IN OUR
RECYCLING SYSTEM. THE
COMMISSION RELEASED THE
PRELIMINARY REPORT LAST
DECEMBER WITH NINETEEN
UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED POLICY
RECOMMENDATIONS ONE OF WHICH
RECOMMENDS TRUTHFUL LABELING TO
REDUCE CONSUMER CONFUSION AND
THE RESULTING CONTAMINATION.
THE CHICKEN THERE- SYMBOL IS
UNIVERSALLY UNDERSTOOD TO
SYMBOLIZE RECYCLABILITY THE
COMPANIES ARE CURRENTLY PUTTING
THE SYMBOL ON TOPICS THAT
CANNOT BE RECYCLED. THIS
CREATES CONFUSION AND LYFT
WHICH CYCLING RESULTING IN
CONTAMINATION IN THE SYSTEM AND
INCREASED. COSTS THAT ARE BORNE
BY RATEPAYERS. ACCORDING TO
CONSUMER SO. PRESENTED REUSE.
AND CONFUSED REPORT ON THE FOR
FIRST I U. S. RESPONSE SAID
THAT RECYCLING IS NOT CONFUSING.
CONSUMERS WANT TO DO THE RIGHT
THING BUT THEY FEEL LIKE THEY
WHEN THEY LEARNED THAT SOME
PRODUCTS THE PACKAGING
VERIFICATION ELIGIBLE AND ARE
NOT RECYCLABLE AND THEY GET MAD
AT GOVERNMENT FOR ALLOWING THE
COMPANIES USE THE FOOTPATH
DECEPTIVE LABELING. I THINK
THREE FOUR THREE WILL STOP
MISLABELING AND ALLOW CONSUMERS
TO MAKE INFORMED PURCHASING
DECISIONS BASED ON THE
RESPECTABILITY OF THE ITEMS
THEY PURCHASE. LASTLY WE ALL
AGREE THAT NATIONAL HARMONIZE
RULES ON LABELING WOULD BE
BEST. HOWEVER CALIFORNIA SHOULD
NOT BE HELD BACK BY OTHER
STATES THAT ALLOW PEOPLE USING
AND MISLEADING LABELING.
CALIFORNIA'S DEMAND AND DESERVE
THE TRUTH AND CALIFORNIA
MUDSLIDE AND WE HOPE TO SET THE
STANDARD FOR THE NATION. THAT'S
NATIONAL ORGANIZATION A

FOR THE AUTHOR FROM COMMITTEE
MEMBERS ASSEMBLY MEMBER GARCIA.
I THINK ACTUALLY JUST A COMMENT
AND IF THE BILL HASN'T BEEN
WILLING TO MOVE THE BILL I DO
APPRECIATE IT WORK I HAVE A LOT
OF INTEREST IN THE DEFINITION
OF RECYCLING THESE LABELS ARE
MISLEADING. AND I WANT TO
INCREASE OPPOSITION TO CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH YOU I KNOW YOU
HAVE AN OPEN OFFICE AND I
APPRECIATE THE IMMENSELY DAN I
DO BELIEVE. OF REAL CONCERNS
CAN BE ADDRESSED AND I JUST
WANT TO SAY THERE WAS A COMMENT
ABOUT THIS BILL LEADING TO MORE
STEPPING LANDFILL THE REALITIES
AT ALL MOST OF THE STUFF IS
ALREADY BEING LANDFILLS OR
BEING BURNED ARE BEING SHIPPED
OUT OR PRETENDING RECYCLING.
OUT THERE AND SO THAT'S A FALSE
NARRATIVE THAT WE NEED TO GET
BEYOND IT WOULD REALLY WANT TO
SOLVE THIS PROBLEM AND SO I DO
APPRECIATE THE WORK I'M HOPEFUL
THAT WE CAN GET THERE. AND I'LL
BE TRACKING THIS ALONG THE WAY
BUT AT THINKING JUST AGAIN WANT
TO STRONGLY ENCOURAGE FOLKS TO
HAVE A REAL DISCUSSION OF ABOUT
THE SITUATION THAT WE HAVE OUT
THERE 90% OF STUFF IS NOT BE
RECYCLED CAN'T BE RECYCLED AND-
A CAT. IF WE HAVE WE WILL HAVE
TO KNOWLEDGE SHE IT WOULD HAVE
A MARKET OR DIFFICULTY DOES NOT
FIT WITHIN OUR ENVIRONMENTAL
CLEAN ENERGY OR LIKE CLIMATE
CHANGE GOALS IT'S NOT
TECHNOLOGY THAT WE COULD USE
AND WE NEED TO BE TAKING ALL
THAT INTO ACCOUNT AS WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WHAT'S RECYCLABLE
AND HAVING A REAL CONVERSATION
WITH. THE. COMMUNITY MEMBERS
OUT THERE. THANK YOU. YES YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHAT. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SENATOR FOR BRINGING
THIS BILL FORWARD- I I'VE
FASCINATED BY THE OPPOSITION
ARGUMENT HERE A SOME OF THEM
AND- I KNOW YOU'RE WRKING WITH
THEM IN A CRISPY SHEET THAT-
YEAH I WAS I AM ALWAYS DILIGENT
ABOUT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT OKAY.
HOW HOW WHERE THINGS ARE
SUPPOSED TO GO IN AND TRY TO DO
THE RIGHT THING AND THE
REALIZATION THAT THAT A LOT OF
THESE PLASTICS ARE SIMPLY NOT
RECYCLABLE. IS REALLY REALLY
FRUSTRATING FOR PEOPLE TRYING
TO DO THE RIGHT THING. I GUESS
WHAT I FOUND INTERESTING ABOUT
THE OPPOSITION ARGUMENT WAS
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO LABEL
SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR
CALIFORNIA. THEN OTHER STATES
AND I WOULD JUST SAY WHY DON'T
YOU JUST DO THE RIGHT THING AND
LABEL IT LIKE WE DO IN
CALIFORNIA AND STOP BEING
DISINGENUOUS WITH OTHER STATES.
GO TO ONE SYSTEM WE'RE GONNA
WITH THIS IS GOING TO BE WELL
VETTED WE KNOW WHAT CAN BE
RECYCLED NOT WHEN WE JUST DO
ONE SYSTEM. AND HAVE EVERYBODY
ADOPTED THEN YOU WON'T HAVE TO
FIGHT LEGISLATION IN EVERY
STATE. JUST BITE THE BULLET AND
DO IT RIGHT THANKS AND I WOULD
LOVE TO BE A CO AUTHOR THROUGH
THIS BILL NOTHING. YES
MURATSUCHI. THANK YOU I WANT TO
ECHO ASSEMBLY MEMBER WOODS
COMMENTS- ANOTHER EXAMPLE FOR
CALIFORNIA SHOULD LEAD THE REST
OF THE COUNTRY IN TERMS OF.
TRUTH AND RECYCLING- YOU KNOW
THIS IDEA OF WISHFUL RECYCLING
IS A CONSTANT- THE SUBJECT OF
DEBATE BETWEEN MYSELF AND MY
WIFE. YOU KNOW SHE'S A HOME
WHERE WE'RE ALWAYS TALKING
ABOUT THE YOU KNOW HER FAVORITE
WORD IS RECYCLE RECYCLE
ANALYSTS JUST A- YOU KNOW A-
PUT THIS IN THE RECYCLING BIN
WHERE YOU KNOW I. AM AFRAID I
AM ALWAYS JOKING THAT SHE'S
GOING TO PUT ME IN THE
RECYCLING BIN SUNDAY. BUT YEAH.
YOU'RE MORE COMPOST. IT'S WHAT
AND- ACTUALLY GREAT BILL AGAIN
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ADDED
AS A CO AUTHOR THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS FAR
ASSEMBLY MEMBER SAY OUR TALK.
SORRY IT ON THE I THINK
RECYCLING IS PROBABLY ONE OF
THE BIGGER CHALLENGES WE HAVE
NATION. AND PART OF IT IS
BECAUSE OUR APPROACH USED TO
BE. THE STAFF WE DON'T WANT TO
RECYCLE OR DON'T WANT TO
DEVELOP THE TECHNOLOGY RECYCLE.
WE JUST SHIPPED OTHER NATIONS
AND HOPE THAT THEY WOULD DO
SOMETHING WITH IT- AND THEY DID
THEY PUT IT IN THE OCEAN SOON
THEN FLOATED BACK ON THE OTHER.
THAT'S RIGHT- SO WE'VE KIND OF
LEARNED FROM THAT BUT- IN
ORDER. FOR ME LOOKING THAT
ENTIRE RECYCLING THING AND I'M
GLAD TO SEE THE WASTE INDUSTRY
IS FINALLY REPRESENTED. IN IN
THIS CONVERSATION BECAUSE IN
THE PAST WE'VE DONE SOME
LEGISLATION. THAT THEY WERE
ABSOLUTELY EXCLUDED FROM AND
NOW WE HAVE LEGISLATION THAT
WE'RE HAVING A HARD TIME- IN
ACTING BECAUSE THEY ARE AN
INTEGRAL PART OF IT AND WE JUST
DON'T HAVE. THE CAPACITY. OR
THE- TECHNOLOGY TO DOA
CONFLICT WHAT WE WANTED TO
ACCOMPLISH. BUT ONE OF MY
QUESTIONS IS. SO YOU KNOW THE
OTHER STATES THAT HAVE THIS
PACKAGING YOU KNOW THAT THE
LABELING REQUIREMENTS AND
THINGS. IS THE ISSUE THAT IT'S
SIMPLY NOT. ARE RECYCLABLE OR
REUSABLE OR IS IT THAT. THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT'S REQUIRED IS
NOT NECESSARILY- YEAH IS COST
EFFECTIVE AND THEREFORE WE
DON'T USE IT- BECAUSE OTHER
STATES MAY FIND IT IS COST
EFFECTIVE FOR THEM AND THEY ARE
USING IT AND THEY DO HAVE A WAY
OF TAKING SOME OF THE THINGS WE
CONSIDER NOT TO BE RECYCLABLE.
AND RECYCLING AND RE USING
THOSE MATERIALS AND BECAUSE I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF ARE ALSO
IN CALIFORNIA IF WE'RE GOING TO
SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM
EVERYONE ELSE- THERE'S A COST
TO DOING THAT AND THAT COST IS
ADDED ON TO THE COST OF. LIVING
HERE IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS
ALREADY HIGHER THAN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT PLACES. AND THAT COST
IS BORN- ESPECIALLY BY. YEAH
YEAH YOU COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
ARE- PREDOMINANTLY POOR. AND
THEREFORE DON'T REALLY HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO KEEP SPENDING MORE
AND MORE MORE ON ON ON ON THEIR
ON THEIR FOOD. SUPPLIES SO YOU
KNOW THOSE ARE A COUPLE THINGS
THAT CONCERN ME IS IT MAYBE YOU
CAN ADDRESS THE FIRST ONE
ABOUT- WHAT OTHER STATES ARE
DOING. THAT WE MAY NOT BE
DOING- SO WE CAN'T WE CONSIDER
SOMETHING RECYCLABLE NOT
RECYCLABLE WHILE THEY DO. YEAH
SO. AND THEN I'D LOVE IT IF YOU
COULD COULD. YOU HAVE REPEAT
THAT THAT. THAT EQUITY QUESTION
YES AT THE END BECAUSE I DON'T
KNOW THAT I. FULLER ABOUT THE
FIRST QUESTION. I'M SO. THAT WE
YOUR CALIFORNIA ACTUALLY DOES
HAVE ONE OF THE BEST SYSTEMS-
IT'S A COMBINATION OF SEVERAL
FACTORS IN. LARGELY THE SECOND
WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT IN TERMS
OF. COST EFFECTIVENESS- AND
THEN OF COURSE AND MARKETS
RIGHT SO THAT THEY GO HAND IN
HAND IF YOU CAN'T FIND IN A
MARKET TO SELL THE PRODUCTS
AND- YOU COULD SPEND VERY
LITTLE ON RECYCLING AND IT
STILL ISN'T GOING TO PENCIL
OUT. RIGHT SO YOU'VE GOT IT YOU
GOT IT YOU GOT TO STRIKE A
BALANCE HERE. AND IN THE END OF
THE DAY- THE MOST OF THE ITEMS
THAT HAVE THE RECYCLING SYMBOL
WITH THE THREE THREE SEVEN.
NUMBER IN THE MIDDLE. MOST OF
THEM ARE TECHNICALLY RECYCLABLE
UNDER UNDER PERFECT CONDITIONS-
BUT FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS
IT'S JUST THEY ARE NOT BEING
RECYCLED- IT IT IT'S ULTIMATELY
IT'S AS YOU SAY IT'S A
COMBINATION OF. OF COST
EFFECTIVENESS TECHNOLOGY AND
MARKETS. I'M YEAH THE SORTING
SYSTEM. OBVIOUSLY IF WE HAD
SOMETHING MORE COMPREHENSIVE I
MEAN YOU KNOW FOLKS MAY KNOW
THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH A
NUMBER OF YOU ONE ON UP ON A
BROADER PLAY IN THIS AREA WITH
SB FIFTY FOUR. FIVE AND THE
IDEAS WITH THAT BILL THAT WE
WOULD HAVE JUST. MORE
SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS IN THE
SYSTEM WRIT LARGE AND THAT
WOULD ACTUALLY HELP TO. TO
CHANGE OUR SYSTEM SAYS THAT
THERE. IS SUCH THAT WE WOULDN'T
HAVE. QUITE THE SAME SORTING.
AND RESTRUCTURING I CHALLENGES
THAT THEY CURRENTLY MAKE SO
MUCH OF RECYCLING COPS COST
PROHIBITIVE- BUT WE DO HAVE ONE
OF THE BEST SYSTEMS IN THE
COUNTRY- YOU KNOW. THE I
HAVEN'T. BEEN PRESENTED WITH A
CASE WHERE THERE'S ANOTHER
STATE THAT HAPPENS TO HAVE A
VERY EFFECTIVE RECYCLING SYSTEM
FOR A PARTICULAR RESIN TYPE.
THAT WE DON'T HAVE. THAT THIS
WOULD JAM UP. I'M I'M CERTAINLY
HAPPY TO IF THERE IS A CASE OF
LIKE THAT MAYBE WE CAN FIGURE
OUT A WAY TO ENSURE THAT.
BECAUSE I THINK I WANT TO DO IS
JAM UP A GOOD. RECYCLING SYSTEM
THAT MIGHT EXIST IN ANOTHER
STATE MAYBE THERE'S A WAY WE
COULD. YOU TWEAK THAT TWEET THE
BILL TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WE DO
HAVE LANGUAGE IN THE BILL IN
ITS ITS ALLUDED TO ON PAGE TWO
OF THE ANALYSIS WHICH- INVOLVES
THESE THE- YOU KNOW IF A
PRODUCER. CAN COME FORWARD.
WITH THAT WITH SOME SORT OF
PLAN- IF THEY IF THEY FEEL AS
THOUGH- YOU KNOW THAT THERE
THERE IS AN EMERGING MARKET FOR
EXAMPLE IN ONE OF THESE OTHER
RESIN TYPES. THAT HASN'T BEEN
COVERED- BY THE BILL THEY CAN
COME FOR WITH THE PLAN TO WORK
WITH CAL RECYCLE TO GET. TO GET
IT INCLUDED- SO THERE IS
FLEXIBILITY THAT WE OFFER BUT
WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT-
THAT THE YEAR THE- THE ITEMS
ARE REALLY BEING RECYCLED I
MEAN BECAUSE ONLY- GARCIA'S
ABSOLUTE RIGHT THIS IDEA THAT
SOMEHOW THIS IS GOING TO LEAD
TO MORE LANDFILLING. THE FACT
IS ALL THIS ALL THIS THAT IS
GOING TO LANDFILL ANYWAY AND IF
ANYTHING ALL IT'S DOING IS
MAKING IT LESS LIKELY. FOR THE
ONES AND TWOS THAT REALLY ARE
RECYCLABLE. THEY'RE ACTUALLY
GETTING PROPERLY SORTED AND
RECYCLED. AND THAT'S THAT'S THE
SAD REALITY AND DONE ONE OF THE
THINGS ABOUT RECYCLING YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU GO TO A RECYCLING
CENTER WHEN YOU GO TO ADOPT.
YOU REALIZED THAT THE YOU KNOW
YOU CAN SPEND SO MUCH TIME.
JUST YOU'RE PERFECTLY CLEANING
UP THEY'RE PEOPLE WHO WASH ALL
THEIR AYE. BEFORE THEY PUT IN
THE RECYCLING. TO THE CHANCE
RECYCLE. IN AND THAT'S A GOOD
THING TO DO BUT- YOU KNOW WHEN
YOU GO TO THIS WHEN YOU WHEN
YOU GO AND SEE THE SYSTEM WRIT
LARGE YOU SEE HOW IT'S ALL. O
THE CONVEYOR BELT TOGETHER. AND
THERE'S JUST. THESE THESE
MACHINES AND MAGNETS AND PEOPLE
SORTING AND IT'S A IT'S A BALK
SYSTEM- AND- YOU KNOW. IT'S IT
IS TRUE THERE WILL PROBABLY BE
A COUPLE LITTLE ITEMS THAT WILL
NOT GET RECYCLED THAT WE'RE
GONNA GET RECYCLED UNDER- IF AS
A RESULT THIS BILL PASSING BUT
THE FACT OF MATTER IS THE
SYSTEM IS SO MASSIVE ITSELF
MACRO. ON ALL THOSE ITEMS THAT
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE
THREE THREE SEVENS ARE NOT
GETTING RECYCLED AND THEY'RE
ACTUALLY MAKING IT HARDER TO
RECYCLE THE ONES AND TWOS IF WE
HAVE IF WE ARE IF OUR GOAL IS.
ZERO WASTE AND RECYCLING
EVERYTHING THEN THE
TECHNOLOGIES FOR THOSE HAVE TO
BE EMPLOYED IN OPEN WHEN
THERE'S NO MARKET FOR THE
TECHNOLOGY. THAT'S WHEN
GOVERNMENT HAS TO STEP IN IF
THAT'S THE IF IT'S IF IT'S THAT
IMPORTANT FOR THE- PUBLIC. TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT I DO I WE
NEED TO STOP SKIRTING AROUND
THAT PART. WELL IN THAT POLICY
HAS TO BE DEALT WITH SOME I
APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING THE
QUESTION YOU DID ANSWER THAT
ONE QUESTION WHICH IS YES
THERE'S A LOT OF RECYCLE STUFF
THAT WE JUST. CHOOSE NOT TO.
ADD BASIC WHAT I WILL SAY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IS. TO THE
EXTENT WE CAN. RIGHT IF WE DO
WANNA RECYCLE EVERYTHING. THE
PRODUCERS SHOULD BE SHIFTING TO
THE HIGHLY RECYCLABLE RESIN
TYPES RIGHT. SO THERE ARE LOTS
AND LOTS OF PRODUCTS THAT COULD
JUST AS EASILY BE MADE WITH A
THREE AS WITH THE ONE. AND
THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF PRODUCERS
WHO HAVE SHIFTED FROM A ONE TWO
OR THREE. SIMPLY FOR AESTHETIC
REASONS. AND THAT DECISION.
RENDERS THAT ITEM NON
RECYCLABLE JUST LIKE THAT. WE
SHOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING WE
CAN. TO INTO TO THE EXTENT
POSSIBLE TO ENCOURAGE
PRODUCERS. WHO ARE IN THE
PLASTIC SPACE TO BE. PRODUCING
THEIR PRODUCTS USING THE ONES
AND TWOS. WHICH ARE HIGHLY
RECYCLABLE AND- OBVIOUSLY
THAT'S A BIG PART OF THE GOAL
OF FIFTY FOUR TO BE HONEST SB
FIFTY FOUR BUT- BUT TO THE YOU
TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS.
IMPOSING SOME TRUTH IN
LABELING. IF PRODUCERS DO CARE
ABOUT REAL RECYCLABILITY IN AND
SHOWING THAT FACE TO THE
PUBLIC. I TO THE EXTENT THEY
CAN DAY WELL UNDER THIS BILL
START. USING MORE THE ONES AND
TWOS RATHER THAN THE NON
RECYCLABLE PLASTICS IS THERE A
PRODUCT COST TO THEM. IT
TOTALLY DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCT
IT TOTALLY DEPENDS ON THE
PRODUCT. ASSEMBLY MEMBER FLOOR
SOMETIMES NO THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR- CENTER I THINK IT'S
PROBABLY SAFE TO SAY WHEN YOU
FIRST GOT ELECTED THAT YOU
WOULDN'T JUST GO DOWN RECYCLING
PROBABLY WASN'T THE REASON I
NOW FROM HOUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE.
RUINED MY LIFE ABSOLUTELY
BECOME RUSSIA AND I THINK IT'S
KIND OF COOL- BECAUSE IT IS
SUCH A HUGE PROBLEM AND YOU
HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB OF
TRYING TO FIND BALANCE. SO I
WANTED TO MAKE SURE- TO SAY
THAT TO YOU PERSONALLY BECAUSE
I DO BELIEVE THAT
WHOLEHEARTEDLY WE'VE HAD MANY
CONVERSATIONS ON MULTIPLE TRIPS
TALK ABOUT THIS AMAZING TOPIC I
AM CURIOUS THOUGH LIKE ON THE
LIMITED RESIN A COUPLE TIMES
YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE
A QUARTER COULD NOT RECYCLE
PRODUCT WE KNOW THAT WE CAN
RECYCLE PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING
IF WE REDUCE IT DOWN BACK DOWN
TO. YOU KNOW PUREST FORM
INTERESTED WE CAN INJECT THAT
AGAIN AND MAKE A PRODUCT OUT OF
THAT AGAIN. THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE DO NOT HAVE A TON
OF THOSE FACILITIES AVAILABLE
TO DO THIS. AND THIS IS ONE
THING THAT I AM VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT IS AS WE REMOVE ALL THE
STUFF FROM THE STREAM THAT I
COMPLETELY AGREE THAT WE NEED
TO. WE DO NOT HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO
ACTUALLY DEAL WITH THIS TO TAKE
THESE QUOTE UNQUOTE BECAUSE WE
ALL KNOW THAT PRETTY MUCH
EVERYTHING IS RECYCLABLE TO A
CERTAIN DEGREE WE CAN REDUCE
THAT DOWN TO A PETROLEUM
PRODUCT. AND REUSE IT AGAIN WE
DO NOT HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
DO THAT WHICH IS WHY WE SHIP IT
OVERSEAS AND LET THEM DEAL WITH
IT. SO I AM CURIOUS WHAT ARE
YOUR THOUGHTS ON. TRYING TO
BUILD UP THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
WITHIN OUR STATE. TO DEAL WITH
THIS BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT PART OF
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO FIX- I
ACTUALLY AGREE- THERE THERE
ISN'T INFRASTRUCTURE CHALLENGE-
I GUESS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS
BECOMES. TO WHAT EXTENT
ESPECIALLY FOR THE FOR THE
TECHNICALLY RECYCLABLE BUT VERY
HARD TO RECYCLE PRODUCTS TO
WHAT EXTENT IS IT WORTH. REALLY
DOUBLING DOWN ON INVESTING IN
THAT PARTICULAR TYPE OF
STRUCTURE AS OPPOSED TO
ENCOURAGING US PRODUCERS TO
MOVE TO MORE RECYCLABLE
PRODUCTS SO THAT'S ANOTHER PART
OF THE COST BENEFIT BECAUSE
THERE ARE AS I SAY. WELL YOU'RE
RIGHT EVERYTHING TO SOME EXTENT
IS RECYCLABLE LEAST THE ONES
WITH THIS YOU KNOW THE
RECYCLING SYMBOLS ON THEM. SOME
ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO
RECYCLE. THAN OTHERS AND SO
SHOULD WE BE MORE YAK SHIFTING
PEOPLE TOWARD THE MORE
RECYCLABLE STUFF. OUT TO THE
EXTENT FEASIBLE- BUT YOUR UPS
RIGHT THE RESEARCH IS A BIG
PART OF THIS I THINK YOU KNOW
ONE OF THE ONE OF THE THOUGHTS
I THINK AS WE- ARE BUT WITH
BILLS LIKE THIS BUT CERTAINLY-
CERTAINLY WITH SB FIFTY FOUR.
AB TEN EIGHTY- THE IDEA HAS
BEEN TO TRY TO CREATE AN
ATMOSPHERE. WHERE THERE'S A
REAL INCENTIVE. ACTUALLY
PRODUCE THEIR PRODUCTS WITH THE
MIND TOWARD RECYCLING. AND
AGAIN THE COLLECTION PROCESS IN
THE SORTING PROCESS WITH THE
MIND TOWARD RECYCLING. I'M SO
YOU KNOW IT'S A IT'S A- AND I
WILL SAY THERE ARE A LOT OF
PLACES AROUND THE WORLD WITH
THE FREELY TAKING MORE
AGGRESSIVE ACTION IN THIS AREA
WHERE THE- WHERE THE PRODUCERS.
HAVE CREATED. COME HOLISTIC
SYSTEMS. AND BECAUSE THEY KNOW
THEIR OWN PRODUCTS THEY'RE ABLE
TO- TO BUILD. A COLLECTION
SORTING SYSTEM AND AN
ULTIMATELY RECYCLING SYSTEM
THAT THAT IS MORE COST
EFFECTIVE. THAN THE SYSTEM THAT
WE HAVE. SO BUT YOU KNOW I KNOW
THIS INFRASTRUCTURE
CONVERSATION IS HAPPENING IN A
ROBUST MANNER- ON BOTH BOTH
SIDES OF OUR BUILDING. AND IF
IT IS ACTUALLY AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THE STORY- BUT THE
PRODUCERS HAVE TO BE AT THE
TABLE AND THEY HAVE TO BE PART
OF THE SOLUTION. I COMPLETELY
AGREE WITH THAT I THINK YOU
KNOW I JUST I WAS USING MY
BACKGROUND AND COMING FROM THE
OUTSIDE WORLD. YOU THIS
CHARACTERISES THE STICK
APPROACH SEEMS TO REALLY WORK.
AND I YOU KNOW IF WE CAN
ENCOURAGE THE PRODUCERS THE
MANUFACTURE OF THESE PRODUCTS
AND COME ALONG LIKE A PUBLIC
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP TO BUILD
THESE KIND OF INSTRUCTORS THAT
ARE REQUIRED TO DO THIS. YES IT
IS A TREMENDOUS COST TO RECYCLE
SOME OF THE HARDER- PRODUCTS
YOU KNOW WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
BUT IF THE STATE IS GOING TO
MAKE THIS A PRIORITY THEY WERE
GOING TO DROP THESE MANDATES.
BUT I THINK WE NEED TO PARTNER
WITH OUR INDUSTRIES- AT A
STATE. LEVEL TO GET THIS THESE
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE
FACILITIES UP AND RUNNING AS
QUICK AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE
OTHERWISE. WE'RE GONNA KEEP
FIGHTING THE SAME BATTLE AND WE
CAN KEEP WONDERING WHY
NOTHING'S REALLY CHANGED AND
PUTTING IT ALL ON THE BACK OF
INDUSTRY FOR THE INDUSTRY TO
DEAL WITH IT. I DON'T THINK IS
THE RIGHT. WAY BECAUSE AT THE
END OF THE DAY BUT THE COST OF
LIVING ISSUE. I MEAN THE OTHER
DAY IF INDUSTRY HAS TO PAY X.
AMOUNT DOLLARS MORE FREE
PACKAGE TO PACKAGE SOMETHING
THAT MY COMMUNITY BUYS- THAT IS
PROBLEMATIC O I APPRECIATE
YOUR EFFORTS IN THIS AND- LOOK
FORWARD TO IT AS IT MOVES
FORWARD. MY ITS OWNER IT BUT IF
I MAY IT IS ALREADY ACOSTA
LIVING ISSUE AND IT'S HITTING
OUR CONSTITUENTS RIGHT NOW. I
AS I MENTIONED SEVENTY
SOMETHING LIKE SEVENTY PERCENT-
A NEW A NEARLY THREE QUARTERS
OF CITIES ARE ABOUT TO INCREASE
THEIR RATES FOR WASTE
COLLECTION. AT LOTS OF
JURISDICTIONS ALREADY HAVE BY
QUITE A BIT OUR OUR
CONSTITUENTS ARE ALREADY PAYING
A DID A DID AN INORDINATE
AMOUNT OF MONEY. TO BANDAID
OVER OUR BROKEN SYSTEM- ITSELF.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING TO KEEP IN
MIND TOO WHEN PEOPLE KEEP ON
THE PRODUCERS I SAY THOUGH THIS
MAY INCREASE THE COST OF ITEMS-
I'M- INTO. THE THAT'S TRUE BUT
BUT OUR CONSTITUENTS ARE
ALREADY PAYING. AND THEIR PAY
MORE AND MORE. ARE. ON THE WAY
ON THE WASTE COLLECTION RATE
SIDE. ANY OTHER. FROM MEMBERS
OKAY. I JUST WANNA THANK YOU
SENATOR ALAN FOR BRINGING THIS.
BILL FORWARD AND YOUR CONTINUED
WORK. ON THE RECYCLING OF
POLICY. ISSUE AREA I KNOW
YOU'RE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT IT
YOU'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL- I
THINK. THAT THIS BILL WILL
PROVIDE THE CLARITY THAT
CONSUMERS NEED TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IS RECYCLABLE AND WHAT
ISN'T. I KNOW IN MY HOUSEHOLD.
WE HAVE SEVERAL WISHFUL
RECYCLERS UNFORTUNATELY THAT.
WANT EVERYTHING TO BE
RECYCLABLE BUT THIS WILL HELP.
THEM EVERYONE THAT'S- WITH THE
HAS A GOOD INTENTION RIGHT TO
RECYCLE. OF THEIR IT WOULD HELP
THEM. WITH THIS CLARITY. ALSO
IT JUST. WE HAVE A I KNOW IN
CURBSIDE RECYCLING WE HAVE A
LOT OF CONTAMINATION- YOU KNOW
IT'S NOT THE INTENTION OF THE
CONSUMER BUT- IT HAPPENS- AND I
THINK THAT YOUR BILL WILL HELP.
CLARIFY THIS AND HELP US ALL.
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS RECYCLABLE-
SO I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL. AND ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO
BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR OF THE
BILL. C. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE NO I JUST APPRECIATE THE
SUPPORT APPRECIATE THE ROBUST
CONVERSATION AND I AM REALLY
OUR DOORS REMAINS WIDE OPEN TO
ANY MEMBER WHO WANTS TO. WORK
WITH US STAFF- AS WE AS WE TRY
TO GET THIS RIGHT AND THIS IS
PART OF A BROADER PLACE THERE'S
A LOT OF BILLS IN THE PLASTIC
SPACE THIS YEAR AND- OBVIOUSLY
YOU KNOW I CONTINUE TO BE
REALLY PASSION ABOUT. OUR
BROADER PLAY WITH SB FIFTY FOUR
THAT'S IN THE MIX IS ABOUT
MEASURES THERE'S A LOT
HAPPENING IN THE SPACE AND I DO
I REALLY OPENLY WELCOME. AND
ALL MY COLLEAGUES- TO WORK WITH
ME AND I AND I ALSO WHAT WOULD
LIKE TO WORK WITH YOU. AS YOU
OF PURSUE YOUR OWN A POLICY
PRIORITIES IN THIS AREA SO I
WITH THAT VERY MUCH APPRECIATE

RIGHT WELL I MEAN I'VE I'VE
READ IT AND PRESENT WHEN YOU'RE
READY YEAH WE YOU KNOW WE DID
HAVE A STRONG BIPARTISAN VOTE
OVER IN THE ASSEMBLY ON THE
SENATE SIDE BY FOR THIS BILL I
BASICALLY THIS THIS- YOU KNOW-
THE- SO. SO THE CODE THE
BECAUSE THE COMMISSION IS
TASKED WITH- ENFORCING THE
COASTAL ACT- YOU. ORIGINALLY
THEY ONLY GAVE THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE
THE ACT. THEN SENATOR ATKINS I
GUESS I SAID THAT TIME
ASSEMBLYMEMBER ATKINS RAN A
BILL THAT WOULD- GIVE. THE
COASTAL ACT BECAUSE THE
COMMISSION THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE
ACCESS VIOLATIONS. I'M
INTERESTINGLY THAT DRAMATICALLY
DECREASED THE COST OF
LITIGATION AND- AND DISPUTES.
AND THEY ENDED UP RESOLVING A
LOT OF DISPUTES MUCH MORE
QUICKLY AND THIS IS BASICALLY
THIS BASICALLY EXTENDS THE BILL
TO INCLUDE- ALL VIOLATIONS OF
THE COASTAL ACT. I BELIEVE BILL
THAN A LOT OF PROTECTIONS WE
WORK CLOSELY- YOU KNOW WITH
THEM. AT THE CHERRY THE
ASSEMBLY SIDE EFFECTS PRESENTS
A COMMUNITY THAT OFTENTIMES.
HAS CONFLICT WITH THE BECAUSE
THE COMMISSION WE BUILT IN SOME
SOME MORE PROTECTIONS FOR FOLKS
WE PUT IN SOME- SOME LONGER
TIME LINES. ARE GRACE PERIOD
IT'S ADDRESS- BUT BUT
ULTIMATELY THIS IS ABOUT MAKING
SURE THAT OUR COASTAL ACT IS-
IS EFFECTIVE. AND IT'S ALSO
ABOUT- YOU KNOW IT'S ALSO ABOUT
ABOUT IMPROVING EFFICIENCY AND
LOWERING COSTS- OVER THE

MORNING MY NAME'S DANIEL WILSON
AND I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF
THE THIRTY TWO THOUSAND MEMBERS
OF UNITE HERE LOCAL ELEVEN THAT
WE REPRESENT ACROSS SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA OUR
MEMBERS HOTEL GAS AND CLEAN
ROOMS IN COASTAL RESORTS THAT
ATTRACT VISITORS FROM AROUND
THE WORLD THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT
TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE LIKE OUR
MEMBERS CAN ALSO AFFORD TO
VISIT THE COAST AND ENJOY ITS
PRECIOUS RESOURCES. IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN WORKERS ON THE SHORE
HOTEL IN SANTA MONICA TESTIFIED
BEFORE THE CLIP THE COMMISSION
APPLICABLE OR INFORMING THEM OF
POTENTIAL COULD BLACK
VIOLATIONS AT THEIR WORKPLACE
DESPITE THE FACT THAT SHORE
HOTEL WAS APPROVED BY THE
COMMISSION TO BE IN AFFORDABLE
HOTEL BECAUSE IT DESTROYED TO
EXISTING MOTEL THE OWNERS BUILT
AS A LUXURY HOTEL IN SET
ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST
EGREGIOUS VIOLATIONS OF THE
CODE BLACK THE PUBLIC WITH
DEPRIVED OF PROMISE AND
DESPERATELY NEEDED AFFORDABLE
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR NEARLY A
DECADE. AND TWENTY NINETEEN THE
COOKBOOK COMMISSION LEVIED A
HISTORIC FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLAR
FINE AGAINST THE HOTEL AND YOU
TO OUR ADVOCACY ALONG WITH OUR
ALLIES REQUIRED THE HOTEL TO
REPLACE THE AFFORDABLE
COMBINATIONS THAT HAD BEEN
LOCKED ON SITE WORKING FAMILIES
LIKE THOSE OF OUR MEMBERS WILL
NOW GET THE CHANCE THEY DESERVE
TO VISIT COASTAL COMMUNITIES
LIKE THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA
IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE
COMMISSION'S ADMINISTRATIVE
PENALTY AUTHORITY THAT THEY
WERE ABLE TO HOLD THE SHORE
HOTEL ACCOUNTABLE. OUR MEMBERS
KNOW BETTER THAN ANYONE THAT
WITHOUT MEANINGFUL TOLD THEM OF
ENFORCEMENT CRITICAL LAWS LIKE
THE COUPLE ACT CANNOT BE
EFFECTIVE IF WE WANT TO PROTECT
OUR BLOOD BE EGYPT AND
SENSITIVE HABITAT FROM BAD
ACTORS AND ECONOMIC FORCES THAT
DRIVE BENCH WE NEED TO GIVE THE
COASTAL COMMISSION THE TOOL TO
TRULY PROTECT COULD ACCESS FOR

I'M ALMOST LOS TO COMMENT ON
THIS GIVEN THAT HAS NO
OPPOSITION SORT OF WHERE IT IS
BUT I REMEMBER WHEN WE PUT. THE
FIRST ADMINISTRATIVE COUNTY
BILL THROUGH. AND THE HORROR
STORIES ABOUT HOW THIS GUY WAS
GOING TO FALL AND YET THE
ARGUMENT WAS. EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED IS IT REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF PENALTIES YEAH
CLEANED UP THE ACCESS ISSUES.
THE PERFORMANCE HAS BEEN
EXACTLY WHAT WAS CAPS TO THE
TIME. AND NOW YOU HAVE A
BUILDING HOW POSITION TO DO
WITH THAT WITH TONI ATKINS BILL
NEEDED TO HAVE DONE YEARS AGO
BUT IT WAS A FIGHT JUST TO GET
THAT PIECE OF IT. SO I COMMEND
YOU GETTING THIS DONE IT'S LONG
PAST TIME. THAT WE WOULD CLEAN
UP THIS PART OF THEIR
AUTHORITY. AND I JUST. THINK
IT'S FABULOUS THAT THIS IS HERE
AND IT THAT YOU'RE GETTING THIS
DONE. SO I'D LIKE TO MOVE HER.
THANKS YEAH I THINK WE I
BELIEVE WE ARE TO HAVE A MOTION
BUT OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MURATSUCHI THANK YOU AYE- I
ALSO WAS HERE WHEN ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THAN A SIMPLE MATTER
ATKINS BROUGHT THE BILL FORWARD
AND I REMEMBER- THE STRONG
OPPOSITION- FROM. ORGANIZATIONS
THAT WERE CONCERNED ABOUT A
STATE AND AGENCY THAT WOULD BE
ON ACCOUNTABLE AND HAVING THIS
NEW POWER TO LEVY SANCTIONS AND
YOU TO GO FROM A VERY
CONTROVERSIAL BILL TO- TO
HAVING NO OPPOSITION I THINK
IT'S JUST TESTAMENT TO THE FACT
THAT THE PROCESS HAS WORKED
THAT IN FACT BECAUSE THE
COMMISSION HAS EXERCISED ITS
POWER RESPONSIBLY AND HAS NOT
ABUSED IT CONTRARY TO. THE
INITIAL CONCERNS WHEN THE WHEN
THE PROPOSAL WAS FIRST MADE IN
SO. I WOULD. YOU TO SAY THAT
THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A-
OF- IMPAIRING THE STATE AGENCY-
AND IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY TO
ENFORCE OUR R. COSTA PROJECTION
WALLS. ASSEMBLY MEMBER MATHIS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR- CENTER I
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING
TO GO WITH THIS- AND I DO
APPRECIATE THE HARD WORK I DO
HAVE- MY OWN CONCERNS ABOUT THE
COASTAL COMMISSION ESPECIALLY
SINCE- THERE ARE PENDING
LAWSUITS- WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
OCEANIA DOING WRITERS CLAIMS-
WE WITH THE FRIENDS OF THE
OCEANIC TONES AND WHAT'S GOING
ON WITH THAT SITUATION I DO-
DOES RAISE CONCERNS- FONG. OVER
USE OF POWER FROM THE COASTAL
COMMISSION. AND WHAT THEY DO SO
I AM HESITANT ON YOUR BILL
TODAY- BUT I DO WANT TO COMMEND
YOU ON YOUR WORK FOR NOT HAVING
ANY FORMAL OPPOSITION ON THE
SOFA WITH THOSE REASON I'M
GONNA STAY OFF YOUR BILL- THERE
ARE AREAS OF THE COASTLINE THAT
ARE. CONSIDERED THE- GO TO
AREAS FOR THOSE OF US IN THE
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY EIGHTY POINT
WHEN THERE ARE CONCERNS AND
THERE'S OPEN CASES AND THINGS
GOING ON IT IT MAKES ME WONDER
WHAT EXACTLY IS GOING ON THAT
WE DON'T SEE- HAPPENING. BUT I
DO UNDERSTAND THE NEED FOR
GETTING THESE THINGS DONE AND
MAKING SURE THAT THEY CAN
ACTUALLY YOU KNOW CUT THROUGH
SOME OF THEIR OWN RED TAPING
AND MAKE THINGS MORE EFFICIENT.
IT DOES. BRING A FEW RED FLAGS
FOR ME TO THINK OF GIVING. MORE
POWER TO AN AGENCY. I MEAN I
APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AYE
AYE AYE YEAH I THINK ULTIMATELY
THIS IS ABOUT ACTUALLY MAKING
SURE FOLKS FROM YOUR DISTRICT.
CAN CAN COME TO THE COAST AND
ENJOY BECAUSE IN THAT THAT IT'S
NOT JUST THAT. THE DEMAND OF
THE- OF THE OTHER FOLKS WHO
ACTUALLY LIVE RIGHT THERE- YOU
KNOW ON THE WATER SAID SO-
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ULTIMATELY
ABOUT I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT
I MEAN I. UNDERSTAND I KNOW A
BIT ABOUT THE IS GOING TO DO IS
DEBATE AND- I ON'T KNOW THAT
THIS BILL NECESSARILY
IMPLICATES THAT BUT- YOU KNOW.
I KNOW THAT'S A- THAT'S A- OKAY
REVVED UP TOPIC ON ITS OWN SO-
BUT I DON'T I DON'T KNOW THAT
IT NECESSARILY AND IMPLICATES
THIS BILL. K. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE TO BELIEVE. YEAH I'D
APPRECIATE A ONE COMMENTS AND-
YOU KNOW. WE WILL CONTINUE
WORKING WITH WITH FOLKS WHO
HAVE ISSUES ARE IF ANYTHING WE
CAN CLARIFY THE BILL MAYBE THEY
CAN ADDRESS YOUR CONCERNS

FOCUS ON. THREE ITEMS FOR ITEMS
PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION
INFRASTRUCTURE DISPENSING AND
DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT STORAGE

AND SOFTWARE. AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY AREAS OF

NEXT WE HAVE ITEM SIX SB ONE
PRESENTED BY OF SENATOR LAYERED
WELCOME. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS- I'M PRESENTING US
SENATE BILL ONE ON BEHALF OF
THE SENATE PRO TEMPTODAY THING
AND- I APPRECIATE THE
OPPORTUNITY AND I'LL BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING AS AUTHORS AMENDMENTS
TO TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS THAT
ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS. I THINK IF
I COULD MAYBE BEGAN. IT IN A
PERSONAL WAY WHEN I WAS A
MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE- I
INTRODUCED WHAT WAS I THINK THE
FIRST BILL IN THE LEGISLATURE
ON THE SUBJECT OF SEA LEVEL
RISE. AND WHEN I DID THAT IT
WAS DESIGNED TO ADD TO GENERAL
PLANS ACROSS THE STATE FOR
CITIES AND COUNTIES ALONG THE
COAST OF PLANNING MEASURE FOR
DOING SEA LEVEL RISE AND WHEN I
GOT TO THE SENATE BOB WHICH OF
COURSE WAS ON REASONABLE. AT
THE TIME- THEY BASICALLY SAID
HALF THE STAKEHOLDER SAID IF
YOU DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC
BASELINE WE WON'T MOVE THIS
BILL ALONG AND THE OTHER HALF
OF THE STAKEHOLDER SAID WE WANT
TO SPECIFIC BASELINE OR ELSE
THIS BILL WAS IT MEANINGFUL I
COULDN'T MOVE THE BILL OUT OF
THE SENATE. AND THEN YOU FAST
FOR TWO OR THREE YEARS AND I'M
NATURAL RESOURCES SECRETARY IN
CHARGE OF THE FIRST SCIENCE
STUDY ON SEA LEVEL RISE WHICH
ALLOWED US TO HAVE THE
INFORMATION TO SET A BASELINE.
AND WE DID THAT AND THE OTHER
THING THAT WAS INTERESTING. IS
WHEN WE- HAVE THE OCEAN
PROTECTION COUNCIL MEETING. TO
ACCEPT THAT SCIENTIFIC STUDY ON
SEA LEVEL RISE IT WAS GAVELED
TO ORDER AT NINE O'CLOCK WHEN
THE TSUNAMI HIT THE CALIFORNIA
COAST AT EIGHT AM THAT MORNING
COMING FROM JAPAN. WHICH
ACCENTUATED THE EXACT ISSUES OF
SEA LEVEL RISE- BECAUSE- IT IS
NOT JUST THE RISING SEASON IT'S
BEEN EIGHT TO NINE INCHES SINCE
THE OF THE INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION IN CALIFORNIA. IT'S
THE EXTREME OF THAT THE EXTREME
EVENT REALLY DRIVES IT HOME.
AND THE OTHER PIECE OF IT IS
THE CALIFORNIA COAST IS VERY
DIFFERENT. SO IN THAT TSUNAMI-
THERE WERE TWO PORTS THAT
REALLY TOOK A MAJOR HIT
CRESCENT CITY IN DEL NORTE
COUNTY. AND SANTA CRUZ IN MY
HOME CITY. AND TWO COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT AREAS AND SO WHEN
YOU'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS SEA
LEVEL RISE YOU HAVE SOME AREAS
LIKE ASSEMBLY MEMBER MULLINS
DISTRICT WHERE. IN PACIFICA
APARTMENT BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN
FALLING INTO THE SEA BECAUSE OF
SANDY SOILS AND OTHER DISTRICTS
THAT THAT SOME OF US REPRESENT
THAT HAVE ROCKY PROMONTORY
SORRY OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
WHICH HAS MARSHES AND PRESENTS
HOLD DIFFERENT ISSUES. AND SO
THE QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU
ADDRESS IT AND THIS BILL IS THE
NEXT STEP IN THAT CONTINUE ON.
BECAUSE SB ONE ESTABLISHES FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN CALIFORNIA
LAW NEW PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION
AND PUBLIC AGENCY COORDINATION
REQUIREMENTS TO ADDRESS THE
IMPACT OF SEA LEVEL RISE.
REQUIRES THE COASTAL COMMISSION
TO ADOPT AND PERIODICALLY
UPDATE STANDARDS TO USE AND
LOCAL AND REGIONAL COASTAL
PLANNING IN ORDER TO. IDENTIFY
ASSESS AND MITIGATE C. LEVEL
RISE. IT ESTABLISHES A NEW
CROSS GOVERNMENT COLLABORATIVE
WITHIN THE OCEAN PROTECTION
COUNCIL. TO ENSURE THE IMPACTS
OF SEA LEVEL RISE ARE
ANTICIPATED IN A DRESS BEYOND
SIMPLY ENVIRONMENTAL
DEPARTMENTS BUT ALSO BY OUR
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
AGENCIES. AND FINALLY IT
ESTABLISHES NEW FUNDING.
CONTINGENT UPON APPROPRIATION
IN THE ANNUAL BUDGET FOR STATE
REGIONAL AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
TO PLAN. FOR AND MITIGATE SEA
LEVEL RISE BUT SEPARATELY IT
EXPANDS THE EXISTING-
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE GRANT
PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES MOST
IMPACTED FROM SEA LEVEL RISE.
HAVE A VOICE IN ACTIONS THAT
THE GOVERNMENT TAKES TO ADDRESS
THE CHALLENGE. AND SO- IT'S
TEMPTING TO SEE SEA LEVEL RISE
IS JUST ANOTHER ENVIRONMENTAL
ISSUE BUT IN REALITY IT CUTS
ACROSS MANY AREAS FROM
TRANSPORTATION THE COMMERCE AND
RECREATION- YEAH- IN MANY OF
THE DISTRICTS OF PEOPLE SITTING
ON THIS COMMITTEE AND IN MY
DSTRICT- THE SEA LEVEL RISE
AND CLIFF EROSION. WELL THE PRO
TEM'S DISTRICT IT'S REALLY EVEN
KILLED STROLLERS WALKING ON THE
BEACH IT'S CUT OFF KEY RAIL
TRANSPORTATION AND AS MR STONE
MIGHT KNOW- I WAS ON THE CITY
COUNCIL MAYOR IN SANTA CRUZ AND
WE DESIGNED THE LIGHT HOUSE
FIELD. STATE BEACH AND WE
ALIENATED ONE OF THE
SIGNIFICANT POLITICAL
CONSTITUENTS AND SANTA CRUZ TO
SURFERS BECAUSE WE WANTED TO
MOVE TO ST BACK A LITTLE BIT
FROM THE OCEAN. AND WE DID IN
THE END AND THERE A COUPLE OF
PLACES WHERE THE OCEAN AS HE
RODE UP TO THE STREET THAT WE
MOVE BACKED OVER THIRTY FIVE
YEARS AGO SO THAT YOU CAN SEE.
IT IN ONE LIFE HOW THAT HAPPENS
AND SO SB ONE PRESENTS THIS
COMMITTEE IN CALIFORNIA WITH AN
OPPORTUNITY. TO GET OUT FRONT
OF THIS IMPORTANT- OF CLIMATE
CHANGE IN OUR MAGNIFICENT
STATE. AND I WOULD RESPECT AND
I'VE FOUGHT. OKAY THANK YOU. WE
ARE READY. TO HEAR FROM
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL- WE HAVE UP TO WITNESSES-
BY TELEPHONE MODERATOR Q.
PLEASE OPEN UP THE LINES FOR
SERRA A MEANS THAT DAY THE
COASTAL COMMISSIONER AND
JENNIFER SAVAGE FROM THE
SURFRIDER FOUNDATION. GOOD
MORNING MADAME CHIANG COMMITTEE
MEMBERS JENNIFER SAVAGE
CALIFORNIA POLICY MANAGER FOR
THE THIRD BETTER FOUNDATION TO
HARM SEALABLE RIFLE DUE TO
CALIFORNIA PEOPLE ACADEMY IN
OCEAN RIGHT THAT CAN MAKE CLEAR
IN THE STATE- REPORT. IF WE DO
NOT TAKE QUICK ACTION WE WILL
DO THAT BEACHES AND HEALTH
FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES ATTEND
OUR ECONOMY AND ALLOW SOME OF
THE MOST BIO DIVERSE COASTLINE
IN THE WORLD TO DISAPPEAR. IN
PRACTICAL TERMS THIS MEANS THE
MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS CAN GET THE DIRTY
WORK RECREATE ADMIRING OTHER
WHAT I FIND JUST A MOMENT OUR
TREASURE COAST LINE WILL NO
LONGER HAVE BEACH IS TO GO TO.
IT MEANS THAT THOSE WITH THE
FEWEST OPTIONS WILL SEPARATE
THE MOST DISLOCATION AND BY
INCREASING BIODIVERSITY AT THE
COOK TO ECOSYSTEMS MANAGEMENT
HELP YOU LEVEL RISE WILL WASH
AWAY OUR COUNTY BEACHES AND
DOWN A ROCKY REEF. SOMETHING WE
CANNOT LET HAPPEN IF WE ARE TO
MEET OUR GOAL OF PROTECTING
BIODIVERSITY TO THIRTY BY
THIRTY AFTER. WE NEED SB ONE
NOW THE BILL BUILT ON THE
PRINCIPLE OF TREND LINES TAKE
ACTION SIGNED BY SEVENTEEN
STATE AGENCIES MISSIONS FACULTY
LEVEL RIGHTS ISSUES ON THE
FRONT LINES USING PROVEN
INSTITUTIONS OF COOKERY COURSES
MANAGEMENT AND PROVIDE
DESPERATELY NEEDED ANNUAL
FUNDING TO LOCAL REGIONAL AND
TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS AND
COMMUNITIES FACING EXISTENTIAL
ADAPTATION CHALLENGES. THE
LONGER WE FOR CO AND ASKING A
PLANNING GOVERNANCE AND
PHYSICAL ADAPTATIONS NECESSARY
TO RESPOND TO RISING SEAS AND
MORE EXPENSIVE THAT ADAPTATION
WILL BECOME SB ONE GIVES US A
SHOT IT STATING OUR BEACHES.
BUILDING ON CUTS TO ACCESS
EQUITY CONSERVING BIODIVERSITY
PARKING ACOSTA CONNIE INTO THE
FUTURE IN SHORT THE BILL WOULD
ENSURE CALIFORNIA'S NOT
DEFINING AND DEMOCRATIC BASE
OUR CODE IS PROTECTED LIKE THE
TREASURY DEBT. FOR ALL THE
REASONS TODAY WE ASK FOR YOUR
IPHONE ON SB. ONE THANK YOU.
SIX WITNESS. GOOD MORNING. YES
GOOD MORNING MY NAME MY NAME IS
TERRY EVAN AT I'M ON TO HAVE TO
AT ONE TWO. I THE IMPACT IT
RIGHT ON IN A AND FOR NEED
LEGAL AND POLICY REFORM FORGET
YEARS SINCE I FIRST OF AS
DURING LAW SCHOOL NOW I THE
PRIVILEGE OF SERVING ON THE
CALIFORNIA COAST OKAY AND THAT
WAS THE OBSERVE COASTAL CLIMATE
I NEEDS HI OUT ON THE BASIS
THAT. WE KNOW IMPACT I'M NOT
HAPPEN. ANGER AT THE FAR OFF
TURN RIGHT INTO TWENTY FIFTY
AND TWENTY ONE HUNDRED MIGHT
IMPLY. BUT INSIDE ED
PREDICTABLE EMERGENCIES
ASSOCIATED WITH EXTREME WEATHER
AND ULTRA HIGH TIDE EVENTS. I
WANT TO SPEAK TODAY IN
PARTICULAR ABOUT THE IMPACT
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN
CALIFORNIA. MANY OF THEM HAVE
BEEN EXCLUDED FROM COASTAL
AREAS THROUGH STATE SANCTIONED
EMINENT DOMAIN. RELEGATED TO
AREAS VULNERABLE TO FLOODING
THE REDLINING AND FEDERAL
HOUSING PROJECTS AND ELEVEN
LARGELY PARK FOR AREAS AND CAN
ACT OF COASTAL AREAS. BY PUBLIC
TRANSPORT BIKING OR WALKING.
SEALEVEL RISE AND STATE ACTION
OR INACTION INCLUDING WHAT THE
COMMITTEE DOES TODAY. WILL
PERPETUATE INEQUITIES AND
DISPARITIES ARCTIC THAT IF WE
DO NOT KNOW FOR IT WOULD
COMPREHENSIVE REFORMS LIKE THAT
AND I SEE ONE. LOWER INCOME
RESIDENTS AND THOSE WHO LIVE IN
RENTAL UNITS AND PLACES LIKE TO
LOOK AT THAT IMPORT WHY NIIMI
I'M MORE LIKELY TO BE DISPLACED
BY FLOODING RELATED IMPACTS AS
COMPARED TO PROPERTY OWNERS
BECAUSE THEY LACKED THE FUNDS
AN ABILITY. TO REBUILD AND HAVE
LESS CONTROL OVER THEIR SAFETY
AND OFTEN HAVE LIMITED ACCESS
TO INSURANCE. IN AREAS
VULNERABLE TO SEA LEVEL RISE
LIKE THEM FUTURE- AND LONG
BACH. HE WALKED FURTHER REDUCE
ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRUST
RESOURCES AND COASTAL
RECREATION AREA. ALL RESIDENTS
PARTICULARLY THOSE RESIDENTS
LIVING AND LAND. THE MAY ACT
THAT THE BEACH RARELY AND BUY
POT BIKING OR WALKING. IT'S
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SB ONE
DOES NOT CREATE NEW OR
ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY FOR THE
COASTAL COMMISSION. IT SIMPLY
CLARIFIES AND CODIFIES OUR
EXISTING AUTHORITY OVER COASTAL
HAZARDS BY SPECIFYING THE LEVEL
RIGHT CAPTURED IN THE COASTAL
ACT. AND IN DOING SO
ESTABLISHING NEW FUNDING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STATE AND
LOCAL AGENCIES TO PARTNER TO
ADDRESS THE LEVEL RIGHTS. AT
THE ONE ENACT THE FIRST
COMPREHENSIVE PEOPLE RIGHT
PROGRAM IN STATE GOVERNMENT AND
ESTABLISH ITS FUNDING FOR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO COMMUNITIES TO
PLANT CORN MEDICATE SEALEVEL
RISE. IT WOULD MAKE UP TO ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
AVAILABLE FOR LOCAL ADAPTATION
IMPROPER PREPAREDNESS WORK.
THIS FUNDING IS ESSENTIAL FOR
THE COASTAL COMMISSION AND OUR
PARTNER AGENCIES ACROSS THE
STATE TO MAKE THEIR COMMUNITIES
MORE RESILIENT TO FEEL ALL
RIGHT. WE KNOW THAT ONE DOLLAR
SPENT TODAY. NEXT YEAR THE
FOLLOWING AN ADAPTATION OF
PREPAREDNESS. CAN SAVE A SIX
DOLLARS ON EMERGENCY RESPONSE
DOWN THE LINE. SB ONE WOULD
ALSO EXPLICITLY ADDS THE LEVEL
RISE TO THE EPA ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE GRANT PROGRAM SENDING
CRITICALLY NEEDED FUNDS TO
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES.
EVERY YEAR THAT WE CANNOT KICK
**** RAMP UP OF YOUR- AND YOUR
OVER YET TIME THANK YOU IN MY
LAP THAT. THANK EVERY YEAR THAT
WE DO NOT TAKE ACTION TO
PREPARE STATE PRETTY ALL RIGHT
MEANS THE FAT OF OPPORTUNITIES
AND CHOICES LAW. AND WE KNOW
THAT THESE LOSSES WILL BE FELT
MOST SHARPLY BY DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. I URGE YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THAT NOW THANK YOU.

QUESTION CITIES ARE COMMITTED
TO ACHIEVING THE STATE
GREENHOUSE GAS AND ORGANIC
WASTE DIVERSION GOALS BUT WE DO
NEED ADDITIONAL TIME AND
FLEXIBILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE

FROM MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
ANY QUESTIONS ASSEMBLY MEMBER
C. ARE TOLD BY. SENATOR LARRY
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL AND WORKING WITH THE
CALIFORNIA LEAGUE OF CITIES I
KNOW THEY WERE. DESPERATELY
TRYING TO ADDRESS- THIS THIS IS
THE UNDERLYING BILL- EARLY ON-
BECAUSE OF THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF IT AND ITS EFFECT ON CITIES-
AND ALSO THAT THE OTHER.
STAKEHOLDERS INVOLVED- IT AND
I'M JUST I WOULD LIKE TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL AND ALSO LIKE
TO BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR. ON
THIS ON THIS BILL AND BECAUSE I
SUPPORT WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE
BUT IT ALSO FALLS WOEFULLY
SHORT OF ADDRESSING THESE
ISSUES THAT THIRTEEN EIGHTY
THREE HAS- LAID UPON ON ON THE
CITY'S- YEAH THERE ARE ISSUES
WITH PROCARE THAT PROCUREMENT.
OF THE ORGANIC MATERIAL- THAT
HAVE. HAVE YET TO BE EVEN
DISCUSSED. AND ALSO THE
MANDATORY COLLECTION- FOR
REMOTE LOOK AT JURISDICTIONS OR
CITIES THAT. ARE OUT IN THE
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE- THE LIFE
BEING ONE OF THOSE CITIES. FOR
THEM TO BE ABLE TO COMPLY WITH
THE ELEMENTS OF THIS ACTUALLY
PUSHES THEM INTO AN AREA WHERE
THERE BEING LESS
ENVIRONMENTALLY. AND
RESPONSIBLE THAN IF THEY WERE
TO BE COMPLYING WITH THIS SO
THOSE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT
NEED TO BE DONE REPORTING
TIMELINES ARE TOTALLY
UNREALISTIC FOR THIS BILL- I
THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I
THINK WE'VE LEARNED A LESSON
AND ONE OF THE BILLS WERE GONNA
HERE IN A LITTLE BIT. WHICH IS
SB FIVE NINETY SIX THE PERFECT
EXAMPLE. OF ENGAGING THE-
INDUSTRIES THAT ARE INVOLVED IN
TRYING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN-
EARLY ON IN OFTEN- TO GET THEIR
INPUT ON WHAT WORKS AND WHAT
DOESN'T. BECAUSE ULTIMATELY
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT THIS
PROGRAM WORKS. AND AND SO I
THINK- THERE'S A LESSON TO BE
LEARNED THERE. AND I HOPE THAT
WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS
PROBLEM BECAUSE- WE CAN DELAY
THE IMPLEMENTATION A LITTLE BIT
WITH THIS BILL. ARE SOME OF THE
ELEMENTS OF IT. BUT IF WE DON'T
DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE OTHER
STUFF WE'RE GONNA BE RIGHT BACK
HERE AGAIN NEXT YEAR TRYING TO
DEAL WITH THE EXACT SAME
PROBLEMS- SO I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT YOU TOOK THIS
ON. AND AND WORKED WITH THE
LEAGUE AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE-
WE HAVE MORE WORK TO DO ON IT
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO BE ABLE
TO WORK WITH YOUR OFFICE AND IN
TRYING TO SUPPORT WHATEVER IT
IS THAT. YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO
IN THE FUTURE CONTINUE TO DO
AND- YEAH TO ADDRESS THIS IT
REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUE. SO
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WHAT. I THANK YOU CENTER
LAYER FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD- I MY HOME COUNTY
CINEMA COUNTY HAD A ROBUST-
COMPOST FACILITY- AT THE
LANDFILL THAT OPERATED FOR OVER
A DECADE- WE HAVE- IT WAS SHUT
DOWN THERE WERE LAWSUITS
NEIGHBORS DIDN'T LIKE IT- WE
HAVE A CONTINUED GROWING
PROBLEM WITH ORGANIC WASTE YOU
CAN'T COMPOST AT ALL AT HOME
YOU KEEP AND YET WERE UNDER
UNDER SOME OF THESE CHALLENGES.
JUST THIS MONTH NEGOTIATIONS
FELL THROUGH FOR ANOTHER
FACILITY TO BE OPENED UP
THROUGH FINANCING SO- SO THESE
YOU KNOW THERE ARE CITIES AND
COUNTIES THAT ARE ABSOLUTE
TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING
CITING THESE FACILITIES IS
CHALLENGING- BUILDING THEM IS
COSTLY- WE WANT TO DO THE RIGHT
THING AND WE'RE WE'VE BEEN
TRYING SINCE YOU KNOW SINCE TWO
THOUSAND AND FIFTEEN WHEN
LAWSUIT SHUT DOWN AT THE
EXISTING FACILITIES SO I
APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS
FORWARD. I AM ALSO IT'S A SHAME
IT'S TAKEN FOUR YEARS FOR THE
RAGS TO COME OUT I THINK- BUT
THAT'S A WHOLE NOTHER ISSUE-
BUT I APPRECIATE PROJECT WORK
ON THIS THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE YES I
THINK- THE COMMENTS GAVE TWO
DISTINCT OUR PERSPECTIVES THE
END OF THE GREAT THING IS THAT
WHEN I STARTED DOING THIS BILL
IT HAS MORPHED IN A COUPLE OF
WAYS ONE IS TO DEAL JUST WITH
THE PENALTIES SO THAT CITIES
CAN STILL MAKE THE REASONABLE
AFFECTED THOSE THAT HAVE
INVESTED THEIR INVESTMENT IS
STILL GOOD IN THEIR INVESTMENT
IS STILL VALID. AND I OR
WHETHER IT WAS PART OF THIS
EFFORT BUT NOT THE FACT THAT
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS HAS GONE INTO THE
BUDGET TO DO THIS WILL MAKE A
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE AND WE
ARE STILL WORKING ON SOME OF
THESE ISSUES AND WILL TAKE
AMENDMENTS IN APPROPRIATIONS IF
WE NEED TO DO OR FURTHER ON
DOWN THE LINE. AND THERE MAY
EVEN BE A NEED TO DO SOMETHING
IF THE BUDGET- IS ADOPTED
WITHOUT LANGUAGE IN THE TRAILER
BILL TO DEAL WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THAT BUDGET
FUNDING AND SO WE WILL USE THIS
BILL TO ADDRESS ALL THOSE
ISSUES ARE PER SHARE. AGAIN

BECKER WELCOME TO NATURAL

THIS BILL IS ABOUT REDUCING
GREENHOUSE GIMMICK EMISSIONS
AND THE CEMENT AND CONCRETE
SECTORS IN CALIFORNIA. CONCRETE
AND CEMENT ARE VITAL FOR OUR
ECONOMY IN FACT YOU ARE HERE TO
MASON STEP RECENT STUDY
ESTIMATED A CONCRETE ACCOUNTS
FOR HALF THE WEIGHT OF
EVERYTHING EVER MADE BY
HUMANITY. IN OUR HISTORY. I'M
FORTY IS ALSO A MAJOR SOURCE OF
GREENHOUSE GASES ACCOUNTED FOR
SEVEN PERCENT. OF CARBON
EMISSIONS GLOBALLY. AND THE
SECOND LEADING. SOURCE OF
INDUSTRIAL MISSIONS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. MOOSE'S MISSIONS
RUN 90% ACTUALLY COME FROM
MAKING CEMENT WHICH IS THE GLUE
THAT HOLDS CONCRETE TOGETHER.
AND SINCE WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING
TO BE INCREASING OUR USE OF
CONCRETE CEMENT NOT DECREASING.
ITS IMPORT WE FIGURED HOW TO
TRANSITION- Q. MAKING IT WITH
FAR LESS IMPACT ON OUR CLIMATE.
GOOD NEWS IS THAT TECHNOLOGIES
AND PROCESSES NOW EXIST FOR
ACHIEVING LARGE REDUCTIONS IN
EMISSIONS FROM CEMENT
PRODUCTION. IN THE TO HAVE NOT
BEEN DEPLOYED AT SCALE BECAUSE
WE HAVE HAD THE RIGHT POLICIES
IN PLACE TO BOTH ENCOURAGE
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS AND
INCREASED DEMAND FOR LOW CARBON
BUILDING PRODUCTS OF THIS BILL
IS REALLY ABOUT ENCOURAGING
THOSE EMISSIONS. ARE BACK WITH
ANOTHER BILL WHICH IS OF THE
DEMAND THE DEMAND SIDE FOR LOW
CARBON. BUILDING PRODUCTS.
EVERY WORD IN THIS BILL WE
FOUND THIS MINISTRY TO BE A
VERY WILLING PARTNER IN
ACHIEVING THESE GOALS. AS LONG
AS THEY CAN CREATE SUPPORTIVE
POLICY ENVIRONMENT AND ADDRESS.
BARRIERS THAT EXIST TODAY.
EXACTLY CALIFORNIA NEVADA
CEMENT ASSOCIATION PUBLISHES ON
PAPER IN MARCH. FROM INJURIES
COMMITMENT ACHIEVING CARBON
NEUTRALITY. BY TWENTY FORTY
FIVE AND IDENTIFYING OBSTACLES.
SO THIS BILL AIMS TO CREATE THE
RIGHT SUPPORT OF A POLICY
ENVIRONMENT. TO ACHIEVE THAT
GOAL OF CARBON NEUTRALITY BY
TWENTY FORTY FIVE. AND IT DROVE
THE STRATEGY FOR THE KEEPING
THESE TARGETS WELL PROTECTING
PRODUCERS. WHO DO SO FROM
UNFAIR COMPETITION FROM OUT OF
STATE PRODUCERS WILL NOT BE
SUBJECT TO THE SAME RULES. THAT
THE COMMITTEE- IN YOUR STEPS
OPPOSED AMENDMENT TO CLARIFY
THE CARD MAY ADJUST THE INTERIM
TARGETS DURING THE TWENTY
TWENTY EIGHT MID TERM CHECK AND
NOT JUST PROPOSED TO AMEND
THEM. AND I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT
THAT AMENDMENT. WE'VE TO

THIS BILL IS ABOUT CREATING A
POLICY ENVIRONMENT CONDUCIVE TO
SHRINKING AND ULTIMATELY
ELIMINATING AMOUNTS CARBON
FOOTPRINT. THAT IS AN URGENT
TASK CONCRETE IS THE MOST
WIDELY CONSUMED MATERIAL ON
EARTH AS A SENATOR NOTED CEMENT
PRODUCTION ALONE CONTRIBUTES
ABOUT 8% GLOBAL CO TWO OUTPUT.
CEMEX FIGHT TO CALIFORNIA'S
EMISSIONS PIPES MARC THAT IS
OUR LARGEST INDUSTRIAL SOURCE
OF CARBON POLLUTION AFTER OIL
AND GAS AND OF COURSE
GREENHOUSE GASES NO NO BORDER
WE WILL REST MISSING OUR
TARGETS IN A MEETING POLITICAL
TO ESCALATING CLIMATE IMPACTS
WE CONTINUE. TO OVERLOOK THE
SECTOR. WE HAVE A COULD.
INDUSTRY PARLANCE WE HAVE A
CLEAR SO. THE BUILT OFF SUCCESS
MODEL CALIFORNIA HAS EMPLOYED

PROCESS. WELL FORTY ROOM FOR

PROVIDE INPUT ON THE BEST
PASSPORT THROUGH WILL MAKE.
THANKFULLY THAT PASSPORT IS
COMING INTO FOCUS IMPROVED
EFFICIENCY FUEL SEARCHING.
INCREASED USE OF LESS POLLUTING
EMISSIONS MATERIALS CAN ALL
PROVIDE NEAR TERM PRODUCTION.
WHILE FIGHTING INNOVATIONS IN
TRANSFORM THE CARBON MANAGEMENT
TECHNOLOGIES HOLD. THE PROMISE
TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO. PROBABLY
NEEDED TO DEPLOYED THE COUNTRY
WE HAVE LEFT FOR IT CLIMB. THAT
IS WHAT FIVE NINE EXTRA. IT'S A
FAIR AMOUNT TARGETS TO PROVIDE

FROM THE COMMITTEE ALL START
WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER MATHIS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR SENATOR I
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR. YOUR
HARD WORKING IN EXPRESSLY MORE
SO FOR WORKING WITH THE
INDUSTRY- HERE TOO OFTEN THAN
NOT WE SEE A LOT OF LEGISLATION
THAT COMES UP WITH NEW
REGULATIONS AND NEW THINGS.
AND- WE DON'T ALWAYS SEE
INDUSTRY SUPPORTING THE
REGULATIONS THAT WERE PUTTING
ON THEM AND WHEN WE DO THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
RECOGNIZE THAT AND THAT WE
SUPPORT THAT BECAUSE A LOT OF
TIMES I KNOW THE MEMBERS ON MY
SIDE OF THE AISLE OR LIKE WHERE
THE INDUSTRY GUYS AT WHAT'S
GOING ON. IN SO I THINK IT'S
WORTH WHILE TO KNOW YOUR HARD
WORK IN GETTING THE INDUSTRY TO
SUPPORT THIS- WE DO THIS A LOT
OF THE AGRICULTURAL SIDE- WHERE
A LOT OF MY WILL HOUSE AND
BACKGROUND IS IN IN WHATEVER
INDUSTRY SAYING HEY WE NEED
YOUR HELP HERE THIS IS WHAT WE
THINK WE CAN DO MOVING FORWARD
IN THE LEGISLATOR. FOLLOWS THAT
AND LISTENS TO THAT IT'S WORTH
NOTING AND WORTH RECOGNIZING
AND FOR THAT REASON I WILL BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL. MOVING
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SOME REFERENCE. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FLORIDA. I THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR A CENTER AND I ALSO JUST
KIND ON ECHO THE COMMENTS OF-
MY COLLEAGUES. I THINK THIS IS
THE- THE WAY OF THE FUTURE FOR
INDUSTRIES WORKING TOGETHER
WITH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL
COMMUNITIES. TO DEVELOP
SOLUTIONS THAT ARE SUSTAINABLE
FOR EVERYBODY RIGHT. AND THIS
IS SO EXCITING TO ME I MEAN YES
COMING FROM AND I BACKGROUND
WE'VE DONE THIS A LOT. WHEN I
SPOKE WITH THE INDUSTRY THE
SIEMENS FOCUSED ON THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE. I WAS
INCREDIBLY ENCOURAGED THAT THEY
WERE COMING TO THE TABLE THEY
WERE BEING PROACTIVE HAVE A
GREAT SO DO CARRIED LEGISLATION
FOR THEM. SO I'M EXCITED TO
SUPPORT THIS AND I THINK TO ALL
THE OTHER INDUSTRIES OUT THERE.
TAKE NOTE. BECAUSE THIS IS THE
PATHWAY. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MURATSUCHI THANK YOU SENATOR
BAKER I WANTED TO WELCOME YOU
TO THE ASSEMBLY SIDE I DON'T
KNOW IF THIS IS ONE OF YOUR
FIRST BILLS ON TO BE PRESENTING
ON THE ASSEMBLY SIDE BUT- I'LL
LOOK FORWARD TO. WORKING WITH
YOU ON ON THIS AND MANY OTHER
IMPORTANT BILLS THAT YOU'RE
WORKING ON- I WANT TO. JOIN A
THE BIPARTISAN APPRECIATION FOR
YOU WORKING WITH THE-
CALIFORNIA NEVADA CEMENT
ASSOCIATION. AND I KNOW I NOTED
THAT- IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
THAT- THE ASSOCIATION PUBLISHED
A PAPER IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR
AFFIRMING THE INDUSTRY'S
COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVE CARBON
NEUTRALITY BY TWENTY FORTY
FIVE. AND AND SO LIKE I AGAIN I
WOULD TO ECHO MY REPUBLICAN
COLLEAGUES IN THE- AND-
THANKING THE ASSOCIATION FOR
THEIR LEADERSHIP AND THEIR
COMMITMENT TO. GET TO THIS
IMPORTANT GOAL. I HAD A
QUESTION. V. COMMITTEE AND ALSO
IT'S ALSO TALKS ABOUT HOW.
THERE WAS A- TWENTY NINETEEN
REPORT CALIFORNIA CEMENT
INDUSTRY FAILING TO FAILING THE
CLIMATE CHALLENGE. WORD
INDICATED THAT- THE CALIFORNIA
CEMENT INDUSTRY. HAD THE SECOND
HIGHEST CO TWO EMISSIONS
INTENSITY AMONG THE COUNTRIES
STUDIED. 57% HIGHER THAN THAT
OF THE CEMENT INDUSTRY IN
CHINA- DUE IN PART TO A HIGHER
CLINKER TO CEMENT RACIAL I WAS
WONDERING WHAT- WHAT CHINA IS
DOING THAT WE'RE NOT DOING. I
CAN SPEAK TO. I CAN'T SPEAK TO
THE RATIO ITSELF- I WOULD SAY
YOU KNOW THE ENERGY INTENSITY
COMES FROM TWO PARTS ONE IS THE
BUT 40% IS JUST BECAUSE VERY
ENERGY INTENSIVE TO MAKE SO
WHAT DO WE USE THAT AND I DON'T
KNOW IF THAT ACTUALLY COUNTS
FOR CHINA'S USE OF COAL IN MOST
CASES TO MAKE- THEIR CEMENT.
AND IT'S 60% IS THE PROCESS
EMISSIONS SUCH AS THE
PROSECUTION'S FOR MAKING A
CEMENT AND THAT'S WHERE THE
INNOVATION REALLY CAN COME IN
IF YOU CAPTURE THAT CAN RESTORE
THAT IN WILL BE ENCOURAGING
THAT- IN THIS BILL SO- I CAN'T
COME IN THE STUDY I DON'T KNOW
IF THE WITNESSES ANY COMMENTS
ON THAT BUT ICAN'T SAY I THINK
THIS WILL MAKE US THE LEADER
AND I'M VERY CONFIDENT THAT.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEVEN COMMENT
ON. WITNESS CERTAINLY. THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RESPOND. THAT REPORT THAT WAS
RELEASED IN TWENTY NINETEEN
PROVIDED SOME VERY MISLEADING
INFORMATION AND UNEQUAL
PERFORMANCE ARE UNABLE
COMPARISONS TO THE TYPES OF
CEMENT THAT'S PRODUCED IN CHINA
VERSUS THE UNITED STATES. WE DO
THINGS DIFFERENTLY HERE WE
ALLOW THE CONCRETE PRODUCERS
THAT BY CEMENT. TO ADD
ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS TO REDUCE
CARBON EMISSIONS THAT DOESN'T
HAPPEN TO CALIFORNIA OR OTHER
STATES SO IT'S REALLY TWO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF PRODUCTION.
SO IT'S AN UNFAIR COMPARISON
ARE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MISTER
MEMBERS SAY ARE TOP RIGHT I
AGREE WITH EVERYTHING EVERYBODY
HAS SAID ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER
WITH THE INDUSTRY AND HOW MUCH
EASIER THAT WITH THAT WORKS-
AND IT ALSO IS BENEFICIAL TO
ACTUALLY ACHIEVING SOME OF
THESE GOALS WHETHER PEOPLE
AGREE WITH THEM OR NOT- THOSE
ARE THE GOALS AND- AND SO THE
DAY I APPLAUD YOU FOR WORKING
WITH THEM TO DO THAT- YOU KNOW
ONE OF MY CONCERNS ALSO AND I
THINK EVERYBODY SHOULD BE
CONCERNED IS. IS TO AN AND I
WOULD EXPECT THE CEMENT
INDUSTRY WILL WILL HAVE A KEEN
EYE TOWARD JUST AND THAT'S WHY
IT'S IMPORTANT TO WORK WITH
THEM IS IN IN OUR EFFORTS TO
CREATE A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY CEMENT WE ALSO WANT TO
MAKE SURE THE BUILDINGS LIKE
THIS STATE OVERHEAD WHEN WE'RE
HAVING EARTHQUAKES AND THINGS
LIKE THAT- YOU SEE THE- THE
EFFECTS OF SUB STANDARD CEMENT-
PRODUCTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES
WHEN THEY DO HAVE- DISASTERS
THEY ARE MUCH LESS- RESILIENT
THAN WE ARE. AND AND MUCH MORE
LETHAL AND SO- AND I THINK THIS
APPROACH ALLOWS THEM TO HAVE
THAT INPUT AND BE ABLE TO-
BALANCE THAT OUT WITHOUT HAVING
A ONE SIDED APPROACH THAT LATER
ON WE FIND OUT- WE'VE JUST
WEAKENED THE INTEGRITY OF THE
CEMENT PRODUCT AND- BEYOND-
WHAT IS SAFE FOR OUR OUR
PUBLICATIONS AT THE END OF THE
DAY THAT SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC
IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE SO
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A BILL
INTENDED SUPPORTED. TODAY
BECAUSE OF THAT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ONE SENATOR BAKER YOU.
BY A- FROM THE COMMITTEE. ON
THIS BILL THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE. SURE NOT JUST AT
THE LAST MOMENT WHEN WE COME
BACK WITH A CONCRETE BILL

PROCUREMENT PIECE OF IT.
RUSSIAN MOVING FROM EXACTLY
WHAT'S IN IT TO THE PERFORMANCE
SPECIFICATIONS THAT'S REALLY
WHAT'S IMPORTANT SO WE WANNA
MAKE SURE. THAT THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE SPECIFICATIONS ARE CLEAR
AND THE SAFETY IS NOT
COMPROMISED ANYWAY SO I
APPRECIATE THAT. OVERALL IT'S
JUST EXTREMELY. PLEASED WITH A
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AS WE WORK
TO. DECARBONISE ONE OF THE
HARDEST TO DECARBONISE
INDUSTRIES AND AS CALIFORNIA
GOES HOW GOES SO GOES THE
COUNTRY. AND I THINK THIS WILL
HAVE GLOBAL IMPACTS THANK YOU

OKAY GREAT. ALEXANDER HERE
POLICY DIRECTOR FOR CAL START-
WE ARE THE SPONSOR AND SB SEVEN
TWENTY SIX AND WE WISH TO THANK
YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP AND ALSO OF COURSE
THE AUTHOR AND COMMITTEE STAFF
WHO HAVE WORKED HARD ON THE
POLICY A PLOW CAL STARTED A
MEMBER BASED NONPROFIT WITH
OVER TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY
MEMBER COMPANIES DEDICATED TO
TRANSFORMING THE TRANSPORTATION
INDUSTRY THAT INCLUDE VEHICLE
MANUFACTURED ZERO EMISSION
TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS. PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE FLEETS AND MORE AND
THE ENERGY COMMISSION CLEAN
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM HAS
REALLY BEEN A CRITICAL ELEMENT
OF OUR STATE TRANSPORTATION
CLIMATE PROGRAMS AND IT IS A
TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL PROGRAM THAT
HELPED TO ADVANCE ADVANCED
VEHICLE AND KILLING
TECHNOLOGIES HOWEVER THE STATE
HAS PASSED MANY LANDMARK
CLIMATE LICENSE TO PROGRAM A
STRETCH OF FABLESS I'M A
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO WITH A DOCTOR
AND BUSINESSMAN DATES FOR
VEHICLES AND THAT SET VERY.
SPECIFIC EMISSIONS REDUCTION
TARGET. SO TO REFLECT THE
REALITIES IT REALLY MAKE SENSE
TO MODIFY THE STATUE THAT GUY
THE PROGRAM TO ENSURE THAT-
REFLECT OUR GOAL. AS WELL AS
TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND
MARKET TRENDS THIS BILL DOES
JUST THAT. FOR EXAMPLE WE KNOW
WE NEED TO RAPIDLY SCALE UP
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MEDIUM AND
HEAVY DUTY THEIR EMISSION
VEHICLES PATROL BEGAN COMING TO
MARKET REALLY QUICKLY DUE TO
THE ADVANCE CLEAN. FOR ALL. BUT
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE
STILL MAINTAINS NINE ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLE FUNDING AND
IS. TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL. MORE
RECENT AMENDMENTS TAKEN ON THE
BILL ADDRESSED THENEED TO
ENSURE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
CLEAN TRANSPORTATION. BY
ENSURING THAT HALF OF PROGRAM
FUNDS WILL BENEFIT THESE
COMMUNITIES THREE THINGS LIKE
REPLACING POLLUTING DIESEL
VEHICLES ARE FOCUSING ON
CHARGING FOR APARTMENT DWELLERS
AMONG OTHER THINGS. IT FOR
THESE REASONS THAT WE ARE VERY
HAPPY TO SPONSOR THE BILL WE'RE
COMMITTED TO CONTINUING
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE ASSEMBLY
AND STAKEHOLDERS TO MAKE
FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS TO IT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND WE
RESPECTFULLY. RESPECTFULLY
AFTER I THAT. NEXT WITNESS

COUNCIL- ALL IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF THIS LEGISLATION. AND WE
REALLY WANT TO THANK CENTER
GONZALEZ AND ALSO CAL STAR FOR
WORKING WITH US ON THE EQUITY
GUARANTEES. THAT WOULD ASSURE.
THAT THIS FUNDING WILL BENEFIT
OUR DISADVANTAGED AND LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES BECAUSE- ALL
CALIFORNIANS DESERVE TO HAVE
QUEEN TRANSPORTATION. AND CLEAN
AIR AND- THE CENTRE GONZALEZ IS
BEEN A CHAMPION IN TRYING TO
CLEAN UP THE AIR PARTICULAR
FROM GOODS MOVEMENT. ALL WHICH
IS THE BIGGEST SOURCE OF AIR
POLLUTION IN CALIFORNIA. AND
THIS BILL WOULD HELP TO GET
THOSE REDUCTIONS IN BOTH AIR
POLLUTION AND GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS. COMING FROM THE
MOVEMENT OF GOODS AND THE
MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE. IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO- WE
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY AND STRONG SUPPORT THE
BILL. THANK YOU. WE HAVE TWO

CONTINUES TO BE OMITTED FROM

DIRECTS THE EASY- SPENDING ON
THE WHOLE THE CHANGES TO THAT
PROGRAM WITHOUT CONSIDERATION
FOR HOW HYDROGEN FUELING
INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE
SUPPORTED RISKS OUR COLLECTIVE
ABILITY TO ENSURE EVERY
CALIFORNIAN HAD ACCESS TO ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLE. AND WITH A
GREATER FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE
STATE AND REPAIRS IF WE
CONTINUE DOWN THE ROAD OF
RELYING ON A SINGLE ZERO

THOSE REASONS WE CONTINUE TO
OPPOSE THE LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU- OPERATIONS

ALRIGHT THANK YOU. NEXT WITNESS

GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MORNING AND MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE HARD PARTS
THAT THE WESTERN CAPE
DISAPPOINTMENT EDUCATION AND
ALSO GOING INTO THE GAME WITH
NEW COLORS AND MARK MENDED
TECHNICIAN ON ATHLETE SEVEN
TWENTY SIX AND WE ONLY AGREE
WITH THE AUTHOR- ON THE INTENT
AND THE BELL THAT COMPREHENSIVE
IN ALIPAY- THAT AND A
TRANSPORTATION PLAN. IT'S
CRITICAL NEED OUR STATE'S
CLINICAL THIS IS- CERTAINLY
WITHOUT WITHOUT ARGUMENT AND
WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE WAY THE
BILL CURRENTLY DRAFTED DOESN'T
QUITE ACHIEVE THAT OUTCOME-
FIRST ORDERED IN IN THE BELUM
CALLING FOR NEW TRANSPORTATION
SECTOR EMISSIONS REDUCTION GOAL
THERE IS- SIGNIFICANT OVERLAP
BETWEEN AND NEW GOAL AND
INVESTING REGULATIONS AS ABOUT
THE CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM WHICH
REQUIRES EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS
FROM ALL SECTORS. AT LOCAL LOW
CARBON FUEL STANDARD WHICH-
MANDATE IMPROVEMENT- AND
REDUCTIONS OF CARBON INTENSITY
THANK YOU ALL AND WE'RE
CONCERNED THAT ADDING A NEW
GOAL WILL ONLY POTENTIALLY
FURTHER COMPLICATE THE STATE
CARBON GOLD AS IT RELATES
TRANSPORTATION AND HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO INCREASE CRAP
WITHOUT REALLY DELIVERING ANY
MEASURABLE BENEFITS AND I THINK
THAT THAT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED
I'M IN THE AUDITOR'S RECENT
REPORT WHERE THEY CALLED INTO
QUESTION SOME OF THE BENEFITS
BEING GENERATED. BY THE STATE'S
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS
OVERSEEN BY THE AIR RESOURCES
BOARD WE WOULD CERTAINLY
ENCOURAGE- THE ANALYSIS AND HOW
KIND AND THAT- I DON'T REPORT
TO BE CONSIDERED PRIOR Q. AND
CHANGES IN POLICY THAT CAN
RESULT IN CHANGES AND.
EXPENDITURE FOR THAT PROGRAM.
ADDITIONALLY IT'S CRAP. I THINK
IT'S BY THE AND MEANING ALL
MENT BY AUTHORED AIR QUALITY.
ARE HONE- IMPRO GREEN OUR ERIC.
AND ANY TO BE PART THE PLAN TO
BUILD OKAY VERY HEAVILY ON PART.
I THINK. YOU NOW THAT THAT AND
I THAT WHILE IS CERTAINLY POWER
BEING OF THE AUTHORS OCT AND
THE- TO MAKE THIS TECHNO
NEUTRAL BELT THAT THERE ARE
CHANGE THAT NEED. TO ALLOW THEM
EXISTING TECHNOLOGY TODAY TO
HELP MAKE AIR QUALITY
IMPROVEMENT AND WE LOOK FORWARD
TO. CONTINUING TO WORK ON THOSE
CHIU PROPONENTS OF THE BELT-
AND THINK. THE AUTHOR AND-
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE BUT AT
THAT- DO YOU WORK IN- THANK YOU.

YOU AT THIS TIME I THINK YOU
WILL OPEN IT UP TO QUESTIONS
FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS WE'LL
START WITH ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MATHIS. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR-
CENTER MAYBE BUT MY QUESTION IS
KIND OF LEAN TO WHY THERE ISN'T
LANGUAGE THAT REALLY SHOWS
YOU'RE YOU'RE ACTUALLY TRYING
TO SET THIS UP FOR A
DIVERSIFIED CLEAN ENERGY
PORTFOLIO. BECAUSE WE IT WE'VE
ALL SEEN THE IN IN A LOT OF US
GOT GOING BACK TO THE DAYS
WHERE WE ALL HASHED OUT CAP AND
TRADE IN WE SET A LOT OF THESE
GOALS WE MADE DECISIONS WITH
THE INDUSTRY SAYING HEY THIS IS%
THE GOAL THIS IS WHERE WE WANT
YOU TO ACHIEVE. AND LET'S MOVE
FORWARD AND WORK TO THAT SOCIAL
NGUYEN THE LANGUAGE. START
TALKING ABOUT WELL LET'S SET A
NEW GOAL. IT'S QUESTIONS COME
UP WHEN THE LANGUAGE IS A VERY
SPECIFIC A. AS WE'VE HEARD FROM
THE OPPOSITION. YOU KNOW WE
HAVE HYDROGEN FUEL FUTURES
WE'VE JUST SEEN VEHICLES BREAK
LAND MILES TRAVELED. FOR
HYDROGEN CARS. CHAU CLEARLY
THAT'S A VIABLE OPTION THAT'S
NOT BEING DISCUSSED ENOUGH
FRANKLY BUT BY THIS BODY BY OUR
GOVERNOR IN WE'RE NOT HEARING
ENOUGH ABOUT IT EVEN THOUGH WE
CLAIM TO LEAD THE WAY- WE DON'T
HEAR ENOUGH ABOUT. RENEWAL
RENEWABLE NATURAL GAS THAT THEY
WERE GETTING FROM HARVESTING-
METHANE FROM DERRY DIED
GESTURES. IN WHAT THAT CAN DO
FOR LOCAL AND MEDIUM FLEETS IN
THAT SPACE AND HOW THAT CAN
REMOVE A LOT OF THE GREENHOUSE
GASES FROM R. OR MEDIUM SIZED
IN AND LOCAL FLEAS. IN REMOVED
THE DIESEL IN THAT PART. CHAU
WELL WHEN I SEE LANGUAGE THAT
THAT FINE TUNES SOMETHING IN
THIS SPACE AND A LOT OF MY
COLLEAGUES WE WE'VE ALL WORKED
VERY HARD ON THIS SOME OF US
HAVE GONE OUT OF OUR WAY-
BERMAN OF ENERGY HAS A
FANTASTIC SCHOOL FOR
LEGISLATORS IT'S- THE
LEGISLATIVE ENERGY HORIZON IS
TO DO THE REALLY DIES OF THE
NUTS AND BOLTS AND THE POLICY
ON THIS- SADLY THERE'S ONLY TWO
PEOPLE. IN THE HUNDRED TWENTY
OF US THE THAT I'VE ACTUALLY
GRADUATED FROM THAT SCHOOL THIS
MYSELF A LOT OF BURKE. AND WE
LEARN THE FIVE NIGHTS ON THIS
IS WHY WE WORK SO HARD ON THE
CAP AND TRADE BILL THAT'S WHY
WE STILL PUSH. TO ENSURE THERE
IS THIS DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO.
EIGHT IN. MY QUESTION FOR YOU
CENTERS WHY THAT ISN'T SPELLED
OUT HOW COME YOU HAVEN'T
SPELLED OUT. YOU SAY YOU WANT
TO MAKE SURE THIS IS THIS IS
DIVERSIFIED THAT WE'RE GONNA
INCLUDE HYDROGEN THAT WE'RE
GOING TO INCLUDE OTHER. ZERO
EMISSION FUELS. BUT IT'S NOT
SPECIFIED IN YOUR BILL SO WHY
IS THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION ASSEMBLY MEMBER- AND
JUST FOR THE RECORD I'M A PORT
SENATOR SO I REPRESENT ONE OF
THE LARGEST PORTS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFONIA. BEEN
REPRESENTING THEM FOR OVER A
DECADE WELL AWARE OF THE
TECHNOLOGY DIVERSITY THAT WE
WANT TO KEEP AND THIS BILL
BASICALLY STATES THAT IT IS
TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL. THAT
STRATEGY THAT- THE OPPOSITION
WAS SAYING THAT IS TO THE
FOCUSED. WE ACTUALLY INCLUDED.
A LANGUAGE THAT INCLUDES NEAR
ZERO TECHNOLOGY AS ONE OF THE
STRATEGIES THAT SHOULD BE S. AS
IN THE TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY
THIS IS SUSTAINABLE
TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY SO IT'S
TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL. AND THEN WE
ALSO INCLUDED AMENDMENTS IN
SENATE Q. R. THAT INCLUDED A
SPECIFIED THAT THEIR THEIR
RECENT SPORT RESOURCES BOARD
SHALL CONSIDER INCLUDING
EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS GOALS
THAT'S NOT A REQUIREMENT. WELL
THAT IS OF THE DRESS THE
OPPOSITION CENTER THAT THAT'S
FANTASTIC WE DID THE POINT IS
YOU STILL HAVE CLEAR
OPPOSITION. FROM INDUSTRIES IN
THE RENEWABLE SPACE. SO THAT
TELLS US THAT THERE'S MORE WORK
THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND MORE
AMENDMENTS THE NEED TO GET DONE
ON THIS. AND BEING THAT YOU DO
REPRESENT THE PARTS I'M SURE
YOU'RE AWARE THAT THE PORTS ARE
FRANKLY TERRIFIED THAT THEY'RE
GONNA HAVE A BILLION DOLLARS
COST. AND HAVING TO GO TO A
LECTURE FOR CATION- NGUYEN. IF
WE DO A BETTER JOB AT THE
LANGUAGE WE'RE PUTTING INTO OUR
LEGISLATION. WE CAN SHOW THEM
THAT YOU KNOW YES YOU CAN DO
SOME ELECTRIC HERE. YOU CAN DO
SOME HYDROGEN FUEL STUFF HERE.
IF YOU'RE IN ONE MORE IN. DO
YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO THE
RENEWABLE. NATURAL GAS SITE
HERE. SO IT IS VERY IMPERATIVE.
THAT WE GET THESE THINGS RIGHT.
BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE
THE DETAILS MATTER. INSULA
INTEL I SEE THAT FINE I'D
LANGUAGE AND SEE THIS
OPPOSITION- THE THAT ANOTHER
RENEWABLE FUEL SOURCE THAT THE
FRANKLY IS ACTUALLY MORE
VIABLE- THEN GOING STRAIGHT
ELECTRIC VEHICLE- THE INTEL I
SEE THAT I'M GONNA STAY OFF
YOUR BILL. IN IN IF YOU'D LIKE
SOME HELP PUTTING THAT TOGETHER
A MORE THAN HELP HAPPY TO SIT
DOWN AND TAKE PERSONAL TIME TO
WORK WITH YOU ON THAT- BECAUSE
I THINK WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
DO HERE IS IMPORTANT. BUT IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT WE GET IT
CORRECT. YEAH AND WE ARE
WORKING TOWARDS THAT SO THIS IS
AGAIN VERY TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL
AND I WOULD JUST. RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE WITH YOU KNOW SOME OF
YOUR COMMENTS BUT- WELL TAKEN
THANK YOU. HE NEXT ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MURATSUCHI. THANK YOU
CENTER I- COMPLETELY- SUPPORT-
THE V. FOR ALL GOAL OF YOUR
BELL- BUT I DID HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS AS SIMILAR TO A
MISTER MATHIS I REMEMBER. WHEN
I WAS INVITED VIçT TO THE
PORT OF LONG BEACH- WHERE-
TOYOTA AND MARY NICHOLS ROLLED
OUT- MODEL- HYDROGEN FUEL CELL
HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS AS PART OF
THE SOLUTION TO REALLY CLEAN UP
THE AIR QUALITY AND- NO IN IN
SOME OF THE HARDER NO THE MOST
IMPACTED TO. MOST PUT- POLLUTED
COMMUNITIES- IN IN YOUR
DISTRICT- AND SO I WAS JUST I
DON'T KNOW THE DETAILS A I
DON'T REALLY. UNDERSTAND WHY
THE- CALIFORNIA HYDROGEN
COALITION IS IN OPPOSITION BUT
I WOULD THINK THAT- THAT
HYDROGEN THANK YOU HAVE A GREAT
DAY FOR THE QUESTION AND I
COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND- YOU KNOW
EVERYONE'S- I GUESS. QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHY IT'S NOT EXPLICITLY
pTECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL WE WANT TO
BE ABLE TO SAY IF THERE ARE
OTHER TECHNOLOGIES ASIDE FROM
JUST ELECTRIC THAT WE CAN DO
SOMETHING IN THE AND IN THE
INTERMEDIATE FOR WE ARE LOOKING
AT HYDROGEN FUEL CELL RENEWABLE
NATURAL GAS WITH HAPPY. THIS IS
OPEN TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT
OKAY- WE ACTUALLY HAVE HYDROGEN
USERS THAT ARE IN OUR SUPPORT
SUPPORT COALITION AS WELL SO
YOU KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT
EVERYTHING HAVING DIESEL RIGHT
NOW ON THIS ON THE ROADS IT'S
JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE AND SO I
THINK- TO MR GAVIN'S POINT AND
TO- IS ALEXANDER'S POINT YOU
KNOW WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT
WERE OPEN- BUT WE NEED TO START
MAKING THESE CHANGES. RIGHT
AWAY SO CAN'T. YOU KNOW WICKS
OF. IRAQ HELLO THANK YOU I LOOK
FOR TO- THAT CLARIFICATION.
ANOTHER POINT THAT WAS. RAISED
IN THE- COMMITTEE ANALYSIS SO.
YOU KNOW. UNDER THE HEADING OF
THE QUESTION MARK ERROR
DISTRICTS GIVEN SHORT SHRIFT IN
THE STRATEGY. THAT YOU KNOW-
MAKING THE POINT THAT THE OUR
LOCAL AIR DISTRICTS LIKE THE
SOUTH COAST AIR QUALITY
MANAGEMENT DISTRICT. YOU KNOW
WE WHICH IS MUCH MORE- PLAYS A
MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN
THE CAR MORE IT MORE YOUR
ANOTHER- CLEAN VEHICLE
PROGRAMS- IT IS THE IS THE
INTENTTO GIVE IT TO. LESS OF A-
OF A ROLE AS A CONSUL
CONSULTATION ROLE RATHER THAN A
COORDINATION ROLE. THAT WASN'T
THE INTENT AT ALL AND SO I'M
GLAD THAT THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS POINTED THAT OUT WE'RE
HAPPY WE'VE BEEN ENGAGING WITH
THEM AS WELL. AND SO WOULD LOVE
TO YOU KNOW CONTINUE ENGAGING
THEM AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE
PART OF THE PROCESS BECAUSE IT
WAS A GOOD CALL OUT SO WE
APPRECIATE THAT ARAFAT. WAS
DEFINITELY BUT IF MR MCCABE AND
I KNOW THAT HE'S HERE IF YOU'D
LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE AS
WELL. I KNOW HE'S BEEN OUR
PARTNER- IN THIS AS WELL. WELL
THANK YOU I WOULD JUST SAY-
YOUR REITERATED THE CENTRE'S
POINT THAT THE LANGUAGE IN THE
BILL IS TECHNOLOGY NEUTRAL.
THERE'S NOTHING IN THERE THAT
SAYS IT'S GOING TO BE ALL
BATTERY ELECTRIC THAT DOESN'T
APPEAR IN THE BILL. IT INCLUDES
HYDROGEN HYDROGEN VEHICLES ARE
ZERO EMISSION VEHICLES SO I YOU
KNOW WE WOULDN'T SUPPORT IT
OTHERWISE. SO IT IT'S OPEN TO
THOSE TECHNOLOGIES THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GARCIA YEAH I
WANT TO THANK YOU FOR. WORKING
IN THIS SPACE WE SURE THAT
CORRIDOR- AND- HEAVY POLLUTION
ISSUES WITH ALL OF THE SO THAT
WE HAVE OUT THERE SO THANK YOU
FOR. DOING THIS WORK. MY
QUESTION IS- ALL ALSO BASED ON
THE ANALYSIS- SOME OF THE
COMMENTS IN INDIA ANALYSIS AS
WE'RE LOOKING AT. I HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO GET TO
OUR GOAL TO KEEP OUR
COMMUNITIES HEALTHIER. I GUESS
THE QUESTION ABOUT VEHICLE
MILES TRAVELED AND GETTING
PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR CARS AND
RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT. THIS IS
TO JUST FOCUS ON SAD'S- AND NOT
ANY OF THAT THE OTHER PART OF
THE STRATEGY SO JUST. WANTED TO
YOUR COMMENT ON THAT ARE YOU
LOOKING TO EXPAND AS THAT PART
OF THE DISCUSSIONS OR- IS THAT
A SEPARATE DISCUSSION IT'S ONE
OF YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.
THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION I THINK
IS ACTUALLY PART OF THE
DISCUSSION AS WELL BECAUSE IT
HISTORICALLY HASN'T BEEN
CERVANTES ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION
METHODS. IN ADDITION TO ZERO
EMISSION VEHICLE INFRASTRUCTURE
AND THE MEDIUM HEAVY DUTY SPACE
ENSURING THAT WE'RE GETTING OFF
OF DIESEL TO ANOTHER TECHNOLOGY
THAT WILL REDUCE EMISSIONS AND
AIR POLLUTION SO. IT'S ALL PART
OF THE- OF THE STRATEGY. WAS
DEFINITELY. AND SO IS THAT IN
THAT. LANGUAGE AT THAT'S ALL
PART OF THE STRATEGY OR WE JUST
ASSUMING THE- AGENCIES. ARE
LOOKING UP WE'VE CALLED THAT
OUT IN THIS AND THIS BILL TO BE
A PART OF IT NOW THANK YOU. I
BELIEVE WE DON'T HAVE ANY MORE
QUESTIONS I WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE
YEAH I WOULD SAY THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THE QUESTIONS WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH MEMBER
WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH US I
MEAN THE BOTTOM LINE IS. AGAIN
I'VE GOT SOME OF THE WORST AIR
POLLUTION AND- SOUTHEAST LOS
ANGELES AND LONG BEACH. AND
BEING A PART SENATOR THIS IS A
VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOT JUST TO
MY REGION BUT TO THE WHOLE

CENTER THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK
ON THIS- I'VE SEEN FIRSTHAND IN
IN MY DISTRICT THAT THE FIRES
THAT I VISITED WHERE. YOU CAN
PHYSICALLY SEE WHERE A FIRE IS
JUST BROKE OFF A DRAWING
EXTREMELY HIGH HEAT AND HIGH
SPEED. AND THE BILL LITERALLY
SEE A HOUSE THAT MEETS THESE
REQUIREMENTS IT IS STILL
STANDING IT'S LIKE WITHOUT A
SCRATCH. RIGHT BY SAY THE- YEAH
IT'S YOU KNOW THE- IN THE
GARAGE THAT'S NOT ATTACHED WAS
IT IN THE GARAGE IS MELTED TO
THE GROUND. WHICH IS THE FRAME
OF THE CAR LEFT THE BUT THE
HOUSE IS IMMACULATE IT IS
BECAUSE OF THE STANDARDS- THEY
DO HAVE ONE QUESTION A I WOULD
LIKE FOR YOU TO ADDRESS AND
THAT IS THE CONCERNS OVER- YOU
KNOW KINDA. ROBBING PETER TO
PAY PAUL YOU KNOW IT'S A ARE WE
PULLING AWAY FROM. THE PLANE
THE DEAD TREES OUT IN
ADDRESSING THE BARK BEETLE
CRISIS AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO
PAY FOR THIS THAT'S A CONCERN
THAT'S BEEN OUT THERE AND I'D
LOVE FOR YOU TO ADDRESS THAT-
I. MIGHT MY PHILOSOPHY ON THIS
IS WE SHOULD. PAY PAUL AND
PETER AND- MANY OTHER PICTURE
APOSTLE- THAT- THAT THERE
SHOULDN'T BE INVESTMENT ALREADY
WERE UNDER DOING IT MAY FEEL
LIKE WE'RE THROWING EVERYTHING
WE GOT IT WHILE FIRE BUT IN
FACT THE RISKY TO CLIMBING IN A
RECENT STUDY SAID AT LEAST
THREE BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
SHOULD BE PUT INTO PREVENTION
FROM STANFORD- AND RIGHT NOW
WE'RE TO BILLION WHICH IS A LOT
TO MARSHALL IS A LEGISLATURE
BUT I DON'T INTENDED TO HAVE
THIS BE DIVERSION THIS IS ABOUT
ADDING FLEXIBILITY. AROUND THE
FIRE PREVENTION- PROGRAM
ESPECIALLY WITH CAL FIRE IN
THEIR LOCAL ASSISTANCE GRANTS
TO MAKE SURE THEY CAN DO. FIND
WAYS TO GET INTO HARD TO REACH
TERRITORIES IN PARTS ORANGE
COUNTY L. A. COUNTY VENTURA
COUNTY A LOT OF COMMITTEES HAVE
BEEN TAKING ON THESE GRANTS
BECAUSE- THEY ONLY SEE IT IS
FUEL TREATMENT OR ITS
CLEARANCE. SO WE'VE BEEN TRYING
TO SORT OF DISENTANGLE THOSE
POLITICS AND NOT MAKE PEOPLE
FEARFUL OF STATE FUNDING IN
THIS PLACE THAT IT'S JUST GONNA
BE ABOUT. CLEARING TREES IN
AREAS THAT HAVE SAY OAK
WOODLANDS AND NEED THOSE TREES
TO ACTUALLY BLOCK FIRES RIGHT
SO. EXPANDING TO INCLUDE THINGS
LIKE ROAD SIDE TREATMENT- TAKE
REDEFINING CLEARANCE TO
SOMETHING THAT IS MORE ABOUT
INVASIVE SPECIES. I THINK IT'LL
IT'LL HELP BUT I NO NO INTENT
FOR DIVERSION JUST- JUST KIND
OF. GET IN ESPECIALLY IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE
CHAPARRAL ANY SORT OF
ECOLOGICALLY SENSITIVE AREAS
TO. TO BE PART OF IT TOO. SO
PROCEDURE CONNAUGHT'S. SHARE
YOUR ANSWER AND WOULD LIKE TO
BE ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR- THANK
YOU SIR. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WHAT. THANK YOU SENATOR-
IT'S A GREAT BEING ABLE TO
PARTNER WITH YOU ON A LOT OF
FIRE RELATED- AND PREVENTION
RELATED- EFFORTS- THERE'S A LOT
IN YOUR BILL THAT YOU DIDN'T
TALK ABOUT. AND I KNOW THAT
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE BUT I
WANT TO I WANT TO COMMEND YOU
ON WHAT YOU HAVE INCLUDED IN
THERE. I JUST HIGHLIGHT A
COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS FOR THE
FOR THE MEMBERS HERE. I GUESS
REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR CAL FIRE
I TO DEVELOP AN UPDATE SOME
GUIDANCE AROUND- YOU KNOW THAT
WHAT'S- APPROPRIATE REGIONAL-
FUEL MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES.
WHERE YOU LIVE IS QUITE
DIFFERENT FROM WHERE I LIVE
AND- THE LANDSCAPE IS DIFFERENT
AND THE NEEDS ARE DIFFERENT.
AND THE FACT THAT WE SEEM TO BE
FOCUSING MORE ON THE NEEDS OF
THE FOREST AND THINGS THAT I
REPRESENT AND LESS ON THE
CHAPARRAL AND SOME OF THE STATE
THE LANDSCAPE IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA. I THINK NEEDS TO BE
RECTIFIED- AND ALSO- ALSO
APPRECIATE YOUR CALL OUT TO THE
THAT CALIFORNIA'S BE. SHOULD
GIVE US SOME REPORTS ON ON THE
IMPACTS OF THE SB NINE ONE
PROJECTS THAT THAT HAPPENED-
THAT WAS A BILLION DOLLARS A
BILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT
THERE AND- THAT THAT AND WE
NEED TO KNOW DO. YOU KNOW HOW
TO GO AND WHAT WE WHAT WE DO
THERE SO THAT'S PART OF OUR
ACCOUNTABILITY- ARE OVERSIGHT
AND IN THE LEGISLATURE SO VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE
DOING AND- GOOD FOR TO WORKING
WITH YOU AND I. TOO WOULD LIKE
TO BE ADDED AS COOPER. THANK
YOU. SOME MEMBER MERCY. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH INTEREST AND I
ALSO WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED AS
A CO AUTHOR TO YOU'RE IMPORTANT
BILL HERE- BUT I BUT I DO HAVE
CONCERNS LIKE I THINK A- YOU
AND I. MAKE SURE THESE CONCERNS
BUT- THE AND THE ONGOING DRUG.
PUSH THROUGH THE REGIONAL
HOUSING NEEDS ASSESSMENT-
REQUIREMENTS OF FOR HOUSING TO
BE BUILT AND VERY HIGH FIRE.
HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES- IT'S IT
IS CONCERNING AND- I KNOW THAT
THAT IS AS A WHOLE A SEPARATE
SUBJECT BUT IT IS RELATED TO
YOU TO THIS BILL AND THAT THE
YOU KNOW THIS THIS COULD BE
SEEN IN THIS COULD BE. USED AS
A- AS A AS AN EXCUSE TO
CONTINUE TO BUILD MORE AND VERY
HIGH FIRE HAZARD. ZONES I
WANTED TO. SEE IF YOU CAN SHARE
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT. I
APPRECIATE THAT THAT-
CAUTIOUSNESS AND- I WOULD NOT
CERTAINLY WANT TO BE. PAVING
THE WAY FOR MORE RISKY
DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE I. I
KEEP TRYING TO WRESTLE WITH-
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE PEOPLE
WHO ALREADY LIVE THERE. RIGHT
PEOPLE WHO LIVE WHERE I
WOULDN'T SILMAR DEEP INTO
PAYING- IN THE SAN GABRIEL
MOUNTAINS OR IN THE NORTH COAST
HER BRAIN OR WHATEVER IT IS
AND- I THINK WE GOT A HARD NOSE
COMMUNITIES. I THINK WE'VE GOT
A- SORT OF SURGICALLY DEAL WITH
EACH OTHER SYSTEMS BUT- WHAT I
DON'T SEE HERE IS THAT BY
EXPANDING THE BUILDING
STANDARDS TO SAY HI FIRE ZONES.
THAT THAT SHOULD THEN BE- SOME
INFORMATICA. GO IN AND HAVE
BREAKNECK BLIND GROWTH I THINK
WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON INFILL
AND- AND- AREAS WITHOUT. RISK
SO- I APPRECIATE THE
CAUTIOUSNESS AND- HOPEFULLY
YOU'LL BE. MAKING SOME PROGRESS
ON THAT THIS YEAR- MY BUILDING
MAKE IT OUT OF OUR HOUSE BUT
YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE COMING
YOUR WAY. THANK YOU I BELIEVE
THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE YES THAT THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR AND I
APPRECIATE THAT MY COLLEAGUE
FROM THE NORTH ALSO RAISING-
SOME OF THE OTHER ITEMS I
DIDN'T MENTION IN MY OPENING UP

MEASURE THAT THE SENATE AFTER
RESEARCHING WATER COMMITTEES
WORKING ON FOR THREE YEARS I
WISH WE HAD THIS BILL IN LAW
THREE YEARS AGO- BUT THINGS GO
SLOW WE'VE HAD OTHER IMPORTANT
MEASURES EMERGE FROM THIS
COMMITTEE OVER THE PAST FEW
YEARS THAT STILL AREN'T LAWNS

YEAR WILL MAKE SOME PROGRESS
