COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS SO THANK
YOU. FOR OVER A YEAR WE'VE
WORKED SIDE BY SIDE TO FOLLOW
THE SCIENCE AND DATA TO SAVE AS
MANY LIVES AS POSSIBLE DURING
THE COAT. NINETEEN OFTEN AT A
COST TO OTHER PARTS OF
COMMUNITY AND LIFE. IN
CALIFORNIA WE KNOW OF OVER
THREE POINT SEVEN MILLION CASES
A CO BID AND UNFORTUNATELY.
OVER SIXTY THOUSAND DEATHS.
WE'VE EXPERIENCED THE PAIN OF
TRYING TO GRIEVE FOR LOVED ONES
FROM THE FARD STRAIN. ON
FAMILIES TO WORK OFTEN FROM
HOME SUPPORT THEIR CHILDREN'S
LEARNING THROUGH A COMPUTER TO
STRUGGLE SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS.
PUSH TO KEEP THE DOORS OPEN
EVEN WHEN CUSTOMERS CAN COME IN
AND THE WORSHIP VIRTUALLY KEEP
EACH OTHER SAFE IN FACT LAST
NIGHT WE TOOK ACTIONS TO TRY TO
ADDRESS. THESE ISSUES. ALL OF
THE SACRIFICE THAT WE'VE BEEN
GIVEN IT'S BEEN ABOUT BUYING
TIME TO FIND THE MEDICAL
BREAKTHROUGHS WHAT SCIENCE
COULD HELP US BRING AN END TO
THE DARK MOMENT STAFF CALLED
US. GIVE MORE THAN WE EVER
THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE.
THANKFULLY BECAUSE OF DECADES
OF RESEARCH AND SCIENCE RON
IMMUNOLOGY. WE HAVE A CHANCE TO
BRING THIS PANDEMIC TO A CLOSE.
WE'RE FINALLY. STARTING TO
SAFELY REOPEN OUR COMMUNITIES.
BUT THAT OPPORTUNITY MAYBE A
LOSS IF WE DON'T GET ENOUGH
PEOPLE VACCINATED. AND WHILE
THE FEDERAL STATE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE DOING BETTER
AND BETTER EACH DAY AND
DISTRIBUTING COVER NINETEEN
VACCINES IN EDUCATING THE
PUBLIC. ABOUT THE NEED FOR THE
VACCINE. FORTUNATELY ANTI
VACCINE EXTREMISTS THAT WE ARE
ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH EVEN VERY
HERE IN THIS VERY BUILDING.
HAVE BEEN ESCALATING WITH THE
DISRUPTIVE TACTICS. TO STOP AND
DISRUPT THESE EFFORTS TO
PROTECT CALIFORNIANS. AND
THAT'S WHY I'M ASKING YOU
SUPPORT SB SEVEN FORTY TWO SO
WE CAN MAKE SURE PEOPLE HAVE
STILL HAVE AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRACTICE FREE SPEECH. AND WE
CAN MAKE SURE PUBLIC OFFICIALS
HAVE MORE TOOLS TO ENSURE
PATIENTS SO OUR CONSTITUENTS
AND FRONTLINE WORKERS A VACCINE
CLINICS ARE SAFE THEMSELVES
SOME INTIMIDATION HARASSMENT
AND PHYSICAL OBSTRUCTION. MANY
OF YOU HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE
SHUTDOWN OF THE VACCINE CLINIC
IN JANUARY AT DODGER STADIUM.
WHERE A MOB OF ANTI VACCINE
EXTREMISTS STOP THE CLINIC FROM
OPERATING JEOPARDIZING THE
SAFETY OF PATIENTS AND
FRONTLINE WORKERS. BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT A
SINGLE. EPISODE THESE
EXTREMISTS ARE CONDUCTING
SIMILAR OPERATIONS ALL OVER THE
STATE OFTEN TRYING TO BLEND IN
AS FRONT LINE WORKERS
INDESTRUCTIBLE RATIONS AND EVEN
RESORT TO TACTICS LIKE
TARGETING FARMWORKERS JIMMY'S

CREATING. NEW LOGISTICAL
SITUATIONS THAT MIGHT BILL
SEEKS TO ADDRESS. THE OPPONENTS
OF THE BILL WELL ARGUED OR

THEY WANT TO BOXES INTO. WE
CERTAINLY CAN CREATE PROPERTIES

DO SPECIFICALLY IS PROVIDE
GUIDANCE AND FACT BASED
MESSAGING TO ACTIVISTS ACROSS
THE WORLD THAT WANT TO GO OUT
AND EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT
THE REAL RISKS OF VACCINATION.
LIKE EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD
VACCINES OF DO HAVE A RISK AND
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLETO
KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO
BEFORE CONSENTING. THE NEWS
ORGANIZATION PROJECT VERITAS
RECENTLY HAD MULTIPLE
WHISTLEBLOWERS FROM FACEBOOK.
COME FORWARD EXPOSING INTERNAL
DOCUMENTS SHOWING THAT FACEBOOK
ACTIVELY CENSORS CONTENT THAT
IS CONSIDERED VACCINE HESITANT.
MEANING THEY CENSOR ANYTHING
THAT IS CONSIDERED NEGATIVE
ABOUT VACCINATION. OR COULD
MAKE A PERSON VACCINE HESITANT.
AND FACEBOOK SPECIFIED IN THESE
DOCUMENTS THEY DO THIS WHETHER
THE INFORMATION IS TRUE OR NOT.
I BELIEVE THE ACTUAL INTENTION
OF THIS BILL IS AN EXTENSION OF
THE SAME CENSORSHIP THAT IS
HAPPENING ON FACEBOOK AND OTHER
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. I DO
NOT THINK THIS BILL HAS
ANYTHING TO DO WITH PEOPLE
INTIMIDATING OR BULLYING PEOPLE
AT VACCINATION AREAS. THE
INCIDENT THAT CENTER PAN KEEPS
BRINGING UP AT DODGER STADIUM
DID NOT HAVE ACTIVISTS BLOCKING
THE ENTRANCE. THE CHIEF OF
POLICE IN L. A. COUNTY MADE IT
A POINT TO ISSUE A PUBLIC
STATEMENT AFTERWARDS SAYING THE
PROTESTS DID NOT SHUT DOWN THE
VACCINATION SITE. ALL
APPOINTMENTS WERE MET. EVEN CNN
SAID THE GATHERING WAS PEACEFUL
NO ARRESTS WERE MADE. SENATOR
PAN HAS SHOWED HIS CARDS HERE
BY DEFINING THE WORD HARASS IN
SB SEVEN FOUR TWO. AS
EDUCATION. DISPLAYING A SIGN TO
FOR PASSING A LEAFLET OR HAND
BILL. THOSE THREE THINGS ARE
NOT HARASSING. IF SOMEONE TAKES
A FLYER FROM AN ACTIVIST IT IS
ACCEPTED. NO ONE CAN FORCE THE
FLYER ON TO SOMEONE AND FORCE
THEM TO READ IT WHEN AN
INDIVIDUAL WALKS AWAY WITH THE
FLYER FROM ONE OF OUR
ACTIVISTS. IT'S BECAUSE THEY OF
THEIR OWN FREE WILL HAVE
ACCEPTED IT. THE BILL IS
ATTEMPTING TO STOP THAT FROM
HAPPENING. I BELIEVE THE TRUE
INTENTION OF THIS BILL IS TO
JUST LIKE FACEBOOK BLOCKED THE
DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION ON
VACCINE RISK DESPITE ITS
VALIDITY. IF THIS IS NOT THE
INTENTION OF THE BILL I WOULD
KINDLY ASK THE AUTHOR TO REMOVE
THE PART THAT DEFINES
HARASSMENT. AS EDUCATION.
DISPLAYING A SIGN TO AND
PASSING A LEAFLET OR HAND BILL
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. IS TO
MAKE BACKGROUND. THE PHONE YET
THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING
MISTER CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
MEMBERS BASS MAKE REYNOLDS IN
THE HALF- PACIFIC JUSTICE
INSTITUTE'S CENTER FOR PUBLIC
POLICY- FIRST WANT TO COMMEND
THE COMMITTEE AND THE STAFF FOR
RECOGNIZING A NUMBER OF THE
CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEMS WITH-
THE BILL AS IT EXISTED PRIOR TO
THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS AND
UNFORTUNATELY EVEN THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS- FALL FAR SHORT OF

IN THIS BILL. IT IS
SUBSTANTIALLY OVERBROAD WE SEEN
IT SHIFTING RATIONALES WHERE IT
BEGAN BY RELYING ON FUNERAL
PROTEST LAWS AND NOW HAS
SHIFTED TO- LARGELY ABORTION
RELATED JURISPRUDENCE AND BUT
EVEN IN RELATION TO THE
ABORTION CLINICS THE U. S.
SUPREME COURT HAS NEVER UPHELD
A BUFFER ZONE AS RESTRICTIVE AS
THE ONE NOW BEFORE THIS BODY.
NOR AT TO UNDERSCORE THE POINT
MADE BY THE PRIOR OPPOSITION
WITNESS HAS A SUPREME COURT
EVER COME CLOSE TO UPHOLDING A
DEFINITION OF HARASSED THAT IS
AKIN TO THE ONE BEING PUT
FORWARD TO THIS COMMITTEE NOW
AT THIS BILL WOULD REACH FAR
BEYOND THE COVERT CRISIS WOULD
REACH FAR BEYOND IT BEING
ALLEGED HARM IS ITS PURPORTED
BASIS AND WHAT EVEN RESTRICT-
EVERYTHING FROM LABOR PROTEST
TO BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTEST
ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISM. AS WELL

THANKS FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY
SIX THANK GOD. WE HAD NO
ADDITIONAL COMMENT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WILL NOW
BRING YOU BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.
FOR ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS IT
WILL BEGIN WITH THE DOCTOR
COURT. WELL I WILL BE VOTING
FOR THIS BILL TODAY- HOWEVER I
DO THINK THE OPPOSITION HAS
SOME POINTS FIRST OF ALL THE
THIRTY FOOT DISTANCE. THERE'S
ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE I KNOW
OF AND I'VE BEEN LOOKING THAT
YOU CAN TRANSMIT OVER THIRTY
FEET OUTSIDE THAT YOU CAN
TRANSMIT A- ARE COVERED AND
YOU'RE PRIMARILY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE COVETED VACCINES AND
YOU SET IT AT THIRTY. FRANKLY
IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO
THAT EVEN INDOORS YOU CAN DO IT
WITH SPECIALLY IF THE
VENTILATION IS SET UP JUST
RIGHT. BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK
THAT THAT MEASURE AND PROBABLY
SOME OF THE OTHERS THAT YOU
HAVE IN THE BILL WOULD SURVIVE
A COURT CHALLENGE SO. AGAIN I
WILL BE VOTING FOR TODAY BUT
I'D SUGGEST THAT YOU CHANGE THE
BILL- I'M MOVED TO BAIL. DO YOU
REMEMBER. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS. SHE
NINETY MAKE COSTA RICA THANK
YOU SO VERY MUCH SHARE NINE I
THANK ALL THE MEMBERS FOR YOUR
PATIENCE AND APPRECIATE- YOU'RE
LISTENING TO ALL THE TESTIMONY-
I THAT- DUCTWORK I HAVE
TREMENDOUS RESPECT FOR YOU- I
THINK THAT SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT HAVE COME UP IN TERMS OF
DISTANCE- I MEAN THESE ARE
PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST QUIETLY
STANDING THERE WAVING SIGNS
RIGHT AND WE SAW IT FOR EXAMPLE
AND- DODGER STADIUM- THAT THEY
WERE COMING UP AND SCREAMING
AT. PEOPLE YELLING- SO WE KNOW
THAT WHEN PEOPLE YELL OR SAYING
SO WHAT THE PROJECT VOICE YOU
HAVE MUCH GREATER TRANSMISSION-
THIS DOES APPLY I MEAN WE HAVE
INDOORS AND OUTDOORS SO IT DOES
HAVE IT DOES DEPENDS TO A
CERTAIN EXTENT ON VENTILATION
BUT ALSO POINT OUT THAT. WHEN
YOU HEAR FROM THE USE RIGHT-
YEAH WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO
IS CREATE A SITUATION WHERE
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO GO GET
THEIR VACCINES BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT THE INTENT OF THE JUST YOU
KNOW THE EXTREMISTS OURS
ACTUALLY TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE
FROM GETTING BACK TO THE PEOPLE
WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO GET
VACCINATED. AND TO DISCOURAGE
THEM IN FACT I FIND IT QUITE
TELLING THAT- SOME OF THE
PEOPLE INCLUDING THE LEAD
WITNESS IN OPPOSITION AS A
PERSON WHO HAS A HISTORY OF
VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT AND
ACTUALLY IS PLANNING ON
FACEBOOK TODAY HAVE YOU TALK
ABOUT SUCH A FACEBOOK DIRECTLY
SAID D. HAVE DIRECT PEOPLE TO
GO TO VACCINATION SITES AND
CONDUCT- THESE TYPES OF
ACTIVITIES PROBABLY HOPING
WAITING TILL THIS BILL
HOPEFULLY. HOPING THAT THIS
BILL BE DEFEATED SO THAT THEY
COULD DO IT WITHOUT TRIGGERING
IS MORE SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL
SO I AM CONCERNED AND I THINK
YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE WITNESSES
SUPPORT THE USE THAT THEY ARE
YOU KNOW THEY'RE THEY'RE
THEY'RE THEY'RE NERVOUS ABOUT
THE FACT THAT- DAY WOULD BE
HARASSED AND- AND ATTACKED
FLOORED JUST TRYING TO. PROTECT
THEMSELVES AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT THIS BILL IS ABOUT NEVER
WOULD REALLY WANT TO THANK- THE-
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING
AND- SO I THINK ADDRESSING MANY
OF THE ISSUES A CONSTITUTIONAL
OTHERWISE ACTUALLY- STAFF ON
BOTH BOTH. A GUIDE TO MAKE
DEMOCRAT AL COMMITTEE STAFF AND
RIVER. STAFF REALLY DO
APPRECIATE THE WORK- WE WANT
YOU KNOW WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT. THIS BILL IS REALLY.
ACTIVE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET
VACCINATED SHOULD BILL GET
VACCINATED WITHOUT BEING
HARASSED. BUT BEING
INTIMIDATED. AND ALSO WE ALSO
PROTECT FREE SPEECH. AND THIS
IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT
OF THE PANDEMIC. THERE'S
NOTHING IN THIS BILL THAT TO
PREVENT SOMEONE FROM. US GOING
AND SAYING WHAT THEY WANT TO
SAY- IN APPROPRIATE PLACES WHAT
WE DON'T WANT TO DO. IS-
PREVENT PEOPLE WHO CHOOSE TO

AND MR BREAST CENTER BRADFORD
WHICHEVER ONE YOU WANT TO BEGIN
WITH- YOU HAVE YOUR DISK YOUR
IT'S AT YOUR DISCRETION I'M
GONNA START WITH SEVEN CHANCES
MY WITNESSES ARE READY SO. YOUR
ANCESTRY FOR A MEASURE THAT
WOULD ADDRESS THE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST BETWEEN PROSECUTORS
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
WHO HAVE COMMITTED MISCONDUCT
ON DUTY THIS BILL REQUIRED TO
DISTRICT ATTORNEY TO HAVE
RECEIVED MONETARY BENEFITS FROM
AN ASSOCIATION THAT SOLELY
REPRESENTS LAW ENFORCEMENT TO
RECUSE HIMSELF. FROM THE
INVESTIGATION CHARGING AND
PROSECUTION OF OFFICERS THAT
THAT MEMBER IS A PART OF THAT
ASSOCIATION ADDITIONALLY THE
BILL APPLIES IF THAT
ASSOCIATION PROVIDES
REPRESENTATION FOR THAT OFFICER
IN THE CRIMINAL CASE. AFTER
RECUSING THEMSELVES ATTORNEY
GENERAL SHALL ASSUME
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CASE AND
IF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL HAS A
CONFLICT THEN THEY WILL ASSIGN
A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. BOTH
STATE LAW IN THE STATE BAR
RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
ADDRESS HOW ATTORNEY SHOULD
RESPOND WHEN FACED WITH A
CONFLICT OF INTEREST BUT
THEY'RE UNCLEAR WITH THIS
SPECIFIC TYPE OF SITUATION
PROSECUTORS SOME OF THE MOST
POWERFUL ACTORS. IN OUR JUSTICE
SYSTEM AND THEIR ROLE IS UNIQUE.
AND UNLIKE MOST ELECTED
OFFICIALS- DUTIES AS TO FOR AND
IN FOR THE LAW NOT SOME MAKE
POLICY CHOICES. THAT BEING SAID.
THIS RETURNEES HOLD A
FUNDAMENTAL ROLE IN HOLDING BAD
OFFICERS ACCOUNTABLE YET MANY
TIMES OFFICERS IN THE STATE
SERIOUSLY HARM KILL HUNDREDS
AND HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EVERY
YEAR AND ALMOST NONE OF THEM
EVER FONG CRIMINAL LIBEL. MOSSO
MARTIN NEVER EVEN CHARGED AS A
RESULT. COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
OUR STATE ARE RIGHTFULLY
CRITICAL OF THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
ASSOCIATIONS ESPECIALLY WHEN
THAT ASSOCIATION DONATES TO
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AND AS
FINANCING COUNSEL FOR THOSE BAD
OFFICERS THIS IS A CLEAR UP THE
CODE ISSUE AND OUR CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM WILL BE. BETTER
FOR. AND IN BENEFIT GREATLY BY
ADDRESSING THIS CONFLICT OF
INTEREST THIS BILL DOES NOT.
MEMBERS STATE DOES NOT PREVENT
ANY OFFICER FROM RECEIVING A
FAIR AND IMPARTIAL TRIAL. THIS
BILL DOES NOT PREVENT LAW
ENFORCEMENT UNIONS FROM
DONATING TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY
CANDIDATES. NOR DOES IT FORBID
JUST RETURNING FROM ACCEPTING
THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS IT ONLY
REQUIRES THOSE ATTORNEYS TO
RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM THAT
CRIMINAL CASE. REMOVING ANY
OPPORTUNITY FOR BIAS OR
FAVORITISM. TESTIFYING TODAY IN
SUPPORT OF THIS MEASURE. ARE TO
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S FIRST WE
HAD DISTRICT ATTORNEY FROM SAN
FRANCISCO CHASE THE BODINE AND
AFTER WHICH WILL HAVE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY FROM LOS ANGELES
GEORGE GAS CONE. BOTH OF WHOM
ARE MEMBERS OF THE PROSECUTOR
LINES OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
SPONSORS OF THIS MEASURE I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU SO IN SUPPORT WILL
BEGIN WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO
DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHESTER
BODINE AND THEN WILL. GO TO
DALY COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY
GEORGE GASCON MISTER BODINE
OPERATOR WE OPEN UP THE LINE.
GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE MY
VIEWS THANK YOU FOR THE WALK
WITH ALL OF YOU DO TO MAKE SAN
FRANCISCO CA FOR MORE FAIR. MY
NAME IS JASON ROUTINES ARE
DIRECTED DISTRICTS. OF SAN
FRANCISCO AND I'M ONE OF THE
FOUNDERS OF THE PROSECUTORS
ALLIANCES CALIFORNIA. WE ARE
PROUD TO SPONSOR SENATE BILL
SEVEN TEN BY SENATOR GRASSLEY-
YEAH I WANT TO ECHO MANY OF THE
COMMENTS AND I KNOW THEY MADE
UP AND DOWN THE STATE ABOUT THE
NEEDS OF THIS BILL. I WOULD
LIKE TO BRIEFLY ADDRESS SOME OF
THE ARGUMENTS. THAT WE HAVE
HEARD IN OPPOSITION. THIS BILL
IS. TAILORED ADVANSIX. STATE
INTEREST. IN THE ENTIRE OF OUR
JUDICIAL. AND FAIR TREATMENT
FOR ALL THAT AND COMMUNITY
MEMBERS. ALSO ALWAYS CLAIM THAT
WE ARE INFRINGING ON THE FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO ENGAGE IN
POLITICAL SPEECH TO CONTRIBUTE
TO A CAMPAIGN OF ADA CANADA
THEIR CHOICE I WANT TO BE CLEAR
SENATE BILL CLINTON DOES NOT
LIMIT THE ABILITY OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATIONS TO
CONTRIBUTE TO CANDIDATES.
ACROSS YOUR LAWSUIT YOUR SAYS
THE BILL LIMIT THE ABILITY OR
THE RIGHT TO DA CANDIDATES.
LOOKS AFTER. THE BILL PROVIDE.
THAT IN CASES AND ON MY CRIME
COME ON DUTY OFFICER THE DA
RECUSANTS FROM THE INTO. YES
ONLY YES THE LONG ASSOCIATION
ALSO PROVIDES REPRESENTATION TO
THE OFFICER IN THE CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION. BOTH SONGS MUST
BE MET. YES MUST HAVE GIVEN A
MONETARY BENEFIT DIRECTLY TO
THE AGE LONG INVESTIGATION AND
YES- SOLUTION MUST BE PROVIDING
REPRESENTATION TO THE OFFICER
BEING INVESTIGATED AND THE
REMEDY IN THAT SITUATION IS
SIMPLY REFUSAL OF THE DA FROM
THE INVESTIGATION OR
PROSECUTION. THIS TAILORED LAW
IS AIMED AT ADVANCING A
COMPELLING STATE INTERESTS THAT
IS MAINTAINING PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE. IN THE INTEGRITY OF
PROSECUTORS IN THEIR
INVESTIGATIONS OF POLICE
WRONGDOING. THE ALL TO COMMON
AFTER PROSECUTORS ACCEPTING
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM LAW
ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION AND
THEN FAILING TO HOLD
ACCOUNTABLE MEMBERS OF THOSE
SAME ASSOCIATIONS FOR-
APPARENTLY CRIMINAL ACTS
CORRODES PUBLIC TRUST IN AN
INSTITUTION WHOSE LEGITIMACY
HINGES ON PUBLIC FACE IN ITS
FAIRNESS AND IMPARTIALITY
FILING. THE OPPOSITION ALSO
POINTS OUT. THAT NUMBER IS OF
LEGISLATIVE BODIES DO NOT HAVE
TO RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM
VOTING ON ISSUES RELATED TO
ENTITIES THAT HAVE DONATED TO
THEIR CAMPAIGNS. BUT
PROSECUTORS SURVEY PUBLIC DUTY
DISTINCT FROM OTHER ELECTED
OFFICIALS WE ARE ADMINISTRATORS
OF JUSTICE AND WE ARE TURNING
HELLO A HIGHER STANDARD THAN
ANY OTHER ELECTED OFFICIAL WE
MUST HOLD ANYONE WHO BREAKS THE
LAW ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR
ACTIONS EVEN IF. THEIR FELLOW
LAW ENFORCEMENT. IT IS A PARA
IMPORTANCE THAT THE PUBLIC
TRUST US TO CARRY OUT THOSE
DUTIES FAIRLY IMPARTIALLY
SENATE BILL SEVEN TEN IS
CRITICAL TO BUILDING THAT TRUST
THANK YOU AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR AYE VOTE. THANK
YOU D. A DE CASTRO. AT&T

MORNING MEMBERS OF THE CANADIAN
THANK YOU TO ENSURE FOR

TO JUSTICE. OKAY CANNOT
FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY. PUBLIC

SHAPE IN HIS IMPARTIALITY. THE
NATION WIDE DEMONSTRATIONS OVER
THERE GEORGE FLOORINGS AND
BRIANNA TAYLOR AND COUNTLESS
OTHERS HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT FACES A CRISIS
OF LEGITIMACY. NOT JUST THE
POLICE. IT IS ALSO ACROSS ON
THE COURT WILL OFTEN FAILING
OPEN LOOK. WHEN THEY BREAK THE
LAW. WHEN PEOPLE AND BLACK AND
BROWN COMMUNITIES SEE THEIR
LOVED ONES CALL OFF TO JAIL FOR
MINOR OFFENSES. AND THEN WALKED
FOR USE OFFICERS KILLED MEMBERS
OF THEIR COMMUNITIES WILL NOT
FACING ANY CRIMINAL
CONSEQUENCES. IT'S NOT
SURPRISING THE PEOPLE CONCLUDE.
THAT THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED
AGAINST. SB SEVEN PENN WILL
ADDRESS ONE OF THE ALL TO
COMMON PRACTICE THE CONTRIBUTES
TO THIS PERCEPTION. THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OPINION
MONETARY BENEFITS ON THE SEND
LAW ENFORCEMENT SO C. H. IN.
THE REPRESENTS THE OFFICERS
THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HOLD
THE ACCOUNT. REGARDLESS OF THE
PROSECUTORS IN PENSIONS THE
FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
PROSECUTORS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT
SOLICITATIONS FOR ROADS CROSS
IN ORDER FOR SHELL OF THE- BUSH
SERIOUSLY UNDERMINES THE
LEGITIMACY OF THE ENTIRE
CRIMINAL. JUSTICE SYSTEM. AS
ATTORNEYS WERE HELD TO THE
ETHICAL STANDARDS REGARDING
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. BUT
THERE ARE CRITICAL GAPS IN THE
STANDARDS THE RESULT IN A
LOOPHOLE FOR THE SITUATION. SB

MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK YOU SIR-
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
LARRY MORSE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA DISTRICT ATTORNEYS
ASSOCIATION AND RESPECTFUL
OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL SEVEN
TEN THIS BILL SINGLES OUT
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS AMONG ALL
ELECTED OFFICIALS AS BEING
INCAPABLE OF RECONCILING THEIR
ETHICAL DUTIES BUT HAVING
RECEIVED POLITICAL SUPPORT IN
THIS CASE FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT
ORGANIZATIONS. WHY WOULD BE AS
BE HELD TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD
THE MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE MOST OF THEM
ROUTINELY SOLICIT SIGNIFICANT
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM A
VAST ARRAY OF SPECIAL INTEREST
TO HAVE BUSINESS IN THE
LEGISLATURE AND THEN VOTE ON
THEIR BILLS WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ELECTED DA
RECEIVING THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT
OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT UNION IN
HIS OR HER COUNTY AND THEN
CLEARLY AND ETHICALLY ASSESSING
A SUBSEQUENT OFFICER INVOLVED
SHOOTING CASE. AND A MEMBER OF
THE LEGISLATURE ACCEPTING
CONTRIBUTIONS THROUGHOUT HIS OR
HER CAREER FROM SAY UTILITY
INTERESTS AND THEN VOTING ON
LEGISLATION REGULATING THOSE
SAME UTILITIES PRACTICALLY
SPEAKING NOT WE WOULD NOT
SUGGEST THAT JUST BECAUSE A
MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE IS
TAKING CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM SPECIAL INTERESTS HERE SHE
IS RENDERED INCAPABLE OF VOTING
HIS OR HER CONSCIENCE ON A BILL
AFFECTING THAT SPECIAL
INTERESTS. YET THAT IS EXACTLY
WHAT THIS BILL TELLS ELECTED
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS WHY IS THE
BILL SINGLE OUT ONLY LAW
ENFORCEMENT CONTRIBUTIONS THE
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL INCLUDING
MY FRIEND BE ABLE BEING FROM
SAN FRANCISCO LA DA GEORGE GASC
DON'T HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY AND
FINANCIALLY SUPPORTED BY
DEFENSE BAR INTEREST BUT THE
BILL DOES NOT PROHIBIT THEM
FROM INVESTIGATING OR
PROSECUTING AN OFFICER INVOLVED
SHOOTING WHERE THOSE SAME
MEMBERS OF THE DEFENSE BAR HAVE
A KEEN INTEREST IN WHETHER
CHARGES ARE FILED. THIS WOULD
SEEM AN EGREGIOUS DOUBLE
STANDARD AT BEST MISTER GASTON
SUPPORT IS NOT SURPRISING GIVEN
THE NEAR UNANIMOUS OPPOSITION
TO HIS POLICIES BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT. ACROSS CALIFORNIA
IT'S DRAMATIC RIGHT CRIME RATES.
AS WE READ THE BILL OF THE
DISTRICT DID NOT RECEIVE
POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM
THE LOCAL PEACE OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION OR DEPUTY SHERIFF'S
ASSOCIATION BUT DID RECEIVE A
CONTRIBUTION FOR THE POOR ACT A
STATEWIDE ASSOCIATION WHICH HAS
MEMBERS IN BOTH THE LOCAL
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND LOCAL
POLICE AGENCIES THE DA WOULD BE
DEEMED TO HAVE A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST AND THUS PRECLUDED
FROM CONDUCTING OFFICER
INVOLVED SHOOTING INVESTIGATION
IN ANY AGENCY THAT HAS PORAC
MEMBERS. UNDER THIS BILL WHAT
OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING THE
CURSE D. A. WOULD BE COMPELLED
TO REVIEW OR OR HIS CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS TO DETERMINE WHAT
IF ANY POLICE ASSOCIATION
SUPPORTED HIS OR HER CANDIDACY
AND GET THAT OFFICER WAS A
MEMBER OF ANY OF THEM. THE BILL
IF APPROVED WOULD BE GUARANTEED
TO DRAMATICALLY INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF OFFICER INVOLVED
SHOOTING CASES THAT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL SOON BE
INVESTIGATING UNDER LAST YEAR'S
AB FIFTEEN OH SIX MOREOVER YOU
WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE
SITUATIONS WHERE IN WHICH BOTH
AN AG AND THE LOCAL VA RECEIVED
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PORAC OR
OTHER STATEWIDE LAW ENFORCEMENT
ASSOCIATION. IN SUCH CASES THE
DA WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEDUCT
THE- I. S. INVESTIGATION NOR
WILL BE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL
THEN BE COMPELLED TO RETAIN A
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO CUT
INDUCTEE INVESTIGATION IF THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DOESN'T WANT
TO ACCEPT CONTRIBUTIONS FROM
PUBLIC SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS
THEN HERE SHE CAN BE QUITE.
WELL AS WOULD MEMBERS OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE DISTRICT
ATTORNEY STRENUOUSLY OBJECT TO
THE APPLICATION THAT THEY
CANNOT DISCHARGE THEIR ALEXA
DUTIES FAITHFULLY AND WITHOUT
FEAR OR FAVOUR NO MATTER WHO
HAS SUPPORTED THEIR CAMPAIGN
FOR OFFICE WE SUPPORT THE
TRANSPARENCY OF RECORDING ALL
CONTRIBUTIONS TO ELECTED
OFFICIALS INCLUDING DA'S AND
BELIEVE THE VOTERS CAN DEPART
DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES JUST AS
THEY WOULD WITH MEMBERS OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE WHO
ACCEPT CAMPAIGN. CONTRIBUTIONS
WHETHER ANY OFFICIAL ARE TO
VOTE PHONE TO. WE THE BILL
SIGNIFICAN COST CHALLENGES AS
WELL IN THE CALIFORNIA COURT
CASE WOODLAND RESIDENTS
ASSOCIATION VERSUS CITY COUNCIL
OF LOS ANGELES THE COURT NOTED
THAT QUOTE POLITICAL
CONTRIBUTIONS INVOLVED IN
EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL
FREEDOMS PROTECTED BY THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE UNITED STATES
CONSTITUTION AND ARTICLE ONE
SECTION TWO OF THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION. THIS BILL IS
DANGEROUS ARBITRARY
INCONSISTENT AND UNCONSTRUCTED
UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE
THANK. OKAY MISTER SHERMAN I'M
A GIVE YOU EXTERMINATOR THOUGH
MR MORE SAID ALMOST ALL YOUR
TIME TO. I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF
YEAH. MISTER CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE
MEMBERS RIGHT SHERMAN ON BEHALF
OF THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE LABOR UNIONS THAT
REPRESENT PEACE OFFICERS
INCLUDING THE RIVERSIDE
SHERIFF'S ASSOCIATION LOS
ANGELES SCHOOL POLICE
ASSOCIATION AND POLICE OFFICER
ASSOCIATIONS FROM THE CITIES OF
CLAREMONT CORONA HOMEOWNER PALS
FORTIES NEWPORT BEACH. BURBANK
UPLAND SANTA ANA RIVERSIDE
INGLEWOOD ARCADIA IN CULVER
CITY THESE PUBLIC EMPLOYEE
LABOR UNIONS REPRESENTING
POLICE OFFICERS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE ARE UNITED IN STRONG
OPPOSITION S. B. TEN WE BELIEVE
THIS BILL DECLARES A LEGAL
FICTION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST
IN AN EFFORT TO RESTRICT
POLITICAL SPEECH A PUBLIC
EMPLOYEE LABOR UNIONS REPRESENT
PEACE OFFICERS. THAT'S WITHIN
SIX TO. ZERO SB SEVEN TEN
SIXTEEN PREVENT PUBLIC EMPLOYEE
LABOR UNIONS REPRESENTING PEACE
OFFICERS FROM MAKING CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS TO A DISTRICT
ATTORNEY OR ATTORNEY GENERAL.
THE FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS
OF THIS BILL MAKE THAT GOAL
QUITE CLEAR RESULTING IN SB
TENSE DUBIOUS CONSTITUTIONALITY-
MR MORE AID MENTION THE OTHER
ISSUES CONCERNING FREE SPEECH-
AND UNDER CURRENT LAW CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS ARE CURRENTLY
LIMITED TO PREVENT AN ACTUAL OR
PERCEIVED CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
ARE CAPPED AT FORTY NINE
HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR LEGISLATIVE
ELECTIONS IN EIGHTY ONE HUNDRED
FOR NAY G. RACE. FURTHERMORE WE
BELIEVE SB TEN IMPERMISSIBLY
LIMITS THE AG'S CONSTITUTIONAL
POWERS AND PROHIBITS THE AG
FROM PERFORMING THEIR
PRESCRIBED OVERSIGHT DUTIES
PURSUANT TO ARTICLE FIVE
SECTION THIRTEEN OF CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION. EVEN IF THE AG
ACCEPTS THE FIVE DOLLAR
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION. THE
EATER. SB SEVEN TEN WILL OF
CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ANTI
POLICE ORGANIZATIONS AND
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM GROUPS
TO CONTRIBUTE TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS TO AN AG OR DA
CANDIDATE OR OFFICE HOLDER. BUT
THOSE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT
PRESUME TO CREATE A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST. SB SEVEN TEN DECIDES
WHO MAY AND WHO MAY NOT
DIRECTLY SUPPORT CANDIDATES FOR
ELECTIVE OFFICE THIS IS A CLEAR
VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTIONALLY
PROTECTED RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE POLITICAL PROCESS. FOR
THESE REASONS AND MANY MORE WE
REMAIN STRONGLY OPPOSED SB

RESPECT FOR YOU CENTER BRADLEY
BUT- BRADLEY. BUT I'M OFF TO A
GREAT START. PLEASE PLEASE
FORGIVE ME I'M NOT THAT THAT'S
PART OF THE SECOND TIME I'VE
DONE THAT TO YOU HERE WITHIN
THE LAST MONTH SO I REALLY
GREATLY APOLOGIZE. YOU DESERVE
BETTER THAN THAT BUT- I THINK
ALSO THE PUBLIC DESERVES BETTER
THAN THIS I THINK THAT- IF
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PURGE
OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST THE
BILL SHOULD BE MORE BALANCED.
AND EVEN HANDED WHY LIMIT THE
CONFLICT TO CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICE
GROUPS WHAT ABOUT CONTRIBUTIONS
FROM GEORGE SOROS AND MANY OF
THE SOCIAL JUSTICE GROUPS
SUPPORTING THIS BILL WITH A
CLEAR AGENDA. A PROSECUTING
MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
FOR ALLEGED EXCESSIVE FORCE
VIOLATIONS I THINK IT'S
IMBALANCED AND IT'S UNFAIRLY
FOCUSED. ON FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHTS OF POLICE GROUPS. SO I
WON'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT. THANK
YOU AND DIDN'T MR LEE YOUR NEXT.
THANK YOU CENTER BRADFORD I
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
LEADERSHIP ON THIS AND ALSO
MAKING SURE THAT YEAH THOSE WE
HOLD WITH HIGH RESPECT TO IT TO
ENFORCE OUR LAWS ARE ALSO HELD
ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THEY BREAK
THEM TO OR IN THE- ABUSE OUR
PUBLIC TRUST SO THAT'S WHY I
THINK THIS BILL SUPPORT I KNOW
WE'VE HAD. SEVERAL
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE
INFLUENCE OF CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTIONS THE FACT EARLIER
THIS YEAR. AND I'M HAPPY TO
HEAR FROM THE OPPOSITION I HAD
A MORE WIDE RANGING BANNOCK ON
COUNTY CONTRIBUTIONS TO
POLITICAL CANDIDATES AND I'M
HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR SUPPORT ON
IN THE FUTURE. AND DOING SUCH
MEASURES LIKE THAT AND WE'VE
HAD COME IN CONVERSATION ABOUT
THIS BUT I THINK THIS NARROWLY.
TAILORED BILL GETS TO THE HEART
OF SOMETHING RIGHT. EVEN THE
APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST WHICH I THINK IT IS.
PUTS IDEA'S AND AGES IN A
COUPLE POSITION WHERE IF THERE
IS SOME SOLUTIONS LIKE THIS IT
IS. AND WE'VE HEARD THIS
DOCUMENT MANY TIMES THAT
UNCOMFORTABLY CHAU PROSECUTING
YOUR FRIEND ESSENTIALLY. AND
PUTS THEM IN AWKWARD POSITION
AND THIS KIND OF MAKES IT SO
THAT WE CAN. HAVE THE BEST
JUDICIAL PROCESS ALSO WITHOUT
THE AWKWARDNESS OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT. AND GIVES I THINK A
MORE FAIR SHOT TO BOTH PARTIES
I THINK AND IT'S REPORTING. SO
I'M REALLY HAPPY TO SEE THIS
BILL I'M BE SUPPORTED TODAY AND
I WOULD HOPE TO JOIN AS A CO
AUTHOR WHEN. APPROPRIATE THANK
YOU THANK YOU SOMEONE WITH.
MISS REBECK ABOUT CAYENNE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK
YOU SENATOR BRADFORD AND I'M
ALSO GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THE
BILL FOR MANY OF THE REASONS
EXPRESSED BY MY COLLEAGUE. BUT
I WOULD LIKE YOU TO ADDRESS
THIS QUESTION THAT HAS BEEN
POSED ABOUT WHY IT ONLY RELATES
TO CHARGING DECISIONS- FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS WHY ISN'T
THE BILL BROADER RIGHT IF THERE
WERE SOME REASON THAT THEY
WOULD NEED TO CHARGE- A PUBLIC
DEFENDER AND FOR EXAMPLE IF THE
DA SAID YOU HAVE A PROSECUTOR
WHO HAS TAKEN. MONEY FROM THE
DEFENSE BAR WHY WOULDN'T THAT
BE A SIMILAR CONFLICT OF
INTEREST I GUESS I JUST. WANNA
GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ADDRESS SORT OF WHY WE ARE
LOOKING AT A BROADER CONFLICT
OF INTEREST AT. THE END IT'S A
FAIR QUESTION BUT HERE WE ARE
TRYING TO. TAKE ONE ISSUE AT A
TIME AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT.
PROSECUTING A LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS ALMOST NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE. DO THIS CONFLICT OF
INTEREST AND- THEY HERE IN THIS
SITUATION. THIS IS NOT JUST
ABOUT TAKING A CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION. AGAIN THE- THESE
UNIONS PROVIDE- THE TOURNEY'S
IN THE LEGAL DEFENSE FUNDING.
FOR THOSE OFFICERS AND WORDS
PROSECUTORS DON'T SO I MEAN I
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS DON'T SO THAT
STICK. THE CLEAR DIFFERENCE THE
SAME UNION THAT IS PROVIDING A
CONTRIBUTION TO A DA OR- OR THE
AG IS AT THE SAME TIME. PAYING
FOR THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY FOR
THOSE OFFICERS SO THAT'S WHERE
THE REAL CONFLICT AND- AND
DIFFERENT FROM- EIGHT EIGHT.
DEFENSE ATTORNEY. THANK YOU AND
AS I SAID I WILL BE SUPPORTING
THE BILL AND I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT WORK AND- AS-
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LEE SAID. YOU
KNOW THERE'S SO LITTLE FAITH
RIGHT NOW IN THE SYSTEM AND I
THINK THAT THIS IS A STEP IN
MAKING SURE THAT WE REBUILD
TRUST IN THE DECISIONS THAT ARE
BEING MADE. AB BUT I DO THINK
IT'S WORTH LOOKING AT IF WE
BELIEVE. THIS WILL BE HERE FOR
THE FIRST BILL OF YOURS I
REALLY CAN'T SUPPORT- I THINK
YOU KNOW I GET MONEY FROM LABOR
UNIONS. I WROTE ALL THE TIME ON
THINGS THAT AFFECT THEM. AND I
REALLY DO THINK- IF YOU'RE
SUSPICIOUS OF DJS YOU SHOULD BE
SUSPICIOUS OF LEGISLATORS. IN
TERMS OF WHY THERE AREN'T MORE
PROSECUTIONS FIRST OF ALL THE
WAY THE LAW WAS WRITTEN IT WAS
JUST VERY HARD AND PARTICULARLY
INTERPRETATIONS BY THE SUPREME
COURT. IT WAS JUST VERY HARD
BECAUSE IF THE OFFICER HAD ANY
KIND OF JUSTIFIABLE FEAR. YOU
COULDN'T PROSECUTE THEM AND SO-
ONE OF THE RARE CASES WAS IN
ALAMEDA COUNTY WHERE I LIVE
WHERE THEY- PROSECUTED SOMEONE
WHO SAID THAT HE GRABBED HIS
GUN WHEN HE MEANT TO GRAB HIS-
TASER. AND ARM AND KILLED THE
YOUNG MAN AT A BART STATION. HE
WAS PROSECUTED FOR
MANSLAUGHTER. ACTUALLY HE WAS
PROSECUTED FOR MURDER BUT THEY
GOT A CONVICTION FOR
MANSLAUGHTER- WE THERE IS A
CURRENTLY PROSECUTION GOING ON
IN ALAMEDA COUNTY NOW. ARE WITH
AND THE ONLY REASON IT'S GOING
ON IS THAT WE PASSED A BILL
THAT MAKES IT SO YOU HAVE TO
GET YOU CAN ONLY USE FORCE WHEN
IT'S NECESSARY. AND BECAUSE OF
THAT MY DA IS ABLE TO NOW
PROSECUTING OFFICER WHO SHOT
SOMEONE WHO HAD A BASEBALL BAT.
AND YEAH SO I THINK THINGS ARE
CHANGING- BUT I DON'T THINK
THIS IS A WAY TO PROMOTE MORE
CHANGE- THE REASON WHY-
PROSECUTORS AND POLICE I THINK.
DO YOU OFTEN SEE THINGS THE
SAME WAY AS THE NATURE OF WHAT
THEY DO IN THE COOPERATION
THAT'S BETWEEN THEM. AND I
DON'T THINK THIS WILL CHANGE
ANY OF THAT SO I WON'T BE
VOTING FOR YOUR BILL TODAY I'M
SORRY. ANYONE ELSE. HERE TO
READ. THANK YOU SENATOR
BRADFORD FROM THE REPRESENTING
YOUR BILL TODAY AND- YEAH ONE
OF THE QUESTIONS I HAVE ABOUT
THIS IS. SO THE DA RECUSES
HIMSELF WHO PROSECUTES. ARTISTS
EITHER TOURNEY GENERAL ATTORNEY
GENERAL HAS A CONFLICT AS WELL
BILLS ASSIGNORS SPECIALLY
GENERAL IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THIS
YES SO YOU'RE SAYING GOES FROM
FROM THE DA'S OFFICE UP TO THE
STATE LEVEL. AND SO AND IF
THERE'S A CONFLICT THERE IS A
SPECIAL PROSECUTOR. OKAY
BECAUSE- YEAH I THINK ONE OF
THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS IS THAT-
DATE WE ARE THE OBVIOUSLY IF
THE DA HIMSELF. IS SUPPOSEDLY
UNDER THIS GUY THE GUYS OF I'M
GOING TO NOT BE FAIR AND
IMPARTIAL BECAUSE I'VE ACCEPTED
CONTRIBUTION. I DON'T KNOW
WHERE THAT STOPS IT CERTAINLY
DOESN'T STOP ANY ORGANIZATION
BECAUSE EVERY WORKS FOR HIM.
AND SO WE'RE WE'RE BASICALLY
TAKING ALL THESE AND PUTTING
THEM INTO SOMEBODY ELSE'S LAP.
AND AND LOSING THAT THAT
CONTROL OF FOR THAT AREA THAT
LOCAL AREA IN THAT COMMUNITY-
SO- IT ALSO ASSUMES THAT DID A
DA WOULD WANT TO PROTECT.
BECAUSE AN ORGANIZATION HAS-
SUPPORTED HIM HE WOULD WANT TO
PROTECT A ONE ONE BAD OFFICER
AND MOST OF THE DA-
PROSECUTIONS- THAT I'VE SEEN-
OR SITUATIONS WHERE THEY DO
HAVE. OFFICERS THAT HAVE- BEEN
UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR
WHATEVER ISSUE IT IS THERE'S A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF. PUBLICITY
INVOLVED IN THOSE AND THERE'S A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF PRESSURE
ON THEM- BY ONE GROUP TO
PROSECUTE THE HECK OUT OF
SOMETHING AND BY THE OTHER TO
ADMINISTER A FAIR PROCESS. AND.
AND THE MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE
SEEN THEM. I LAND- WHERE THE
LAW TELLS THEM THEY HAVE TO
LAND BECAUSE THAT'S THEIR
PROFESSIONAL OBLIGATION TO THE
PEOPLE THAT ELECTED THEM IT'S
THEIR JOB THE PEOPLE ELECTED
THEM TO DO THAT JOB AND I DON'T
THINK- THIS. CREATES A
SITUATION WHERE THEY'RE THEY'RE
GOING TO BE IMPARTIAL AND I
HAVE NOT SEEN OUR- YOU KNOW
THE- PLA'S UNIONS AT CENTRO
WHEN OFFICER BELONGS TO A UNION
THEY'RE OBLIGATED BY LAW. TO
REPRESENT THEM THAT DOESN'T
MEAN THEY WANT A BAD OFFICER TO
STAY IN THE RANKS- THEY JUST
HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DEFENSE AND
THE DEFENSE WILL PUT ON THERE.
IT DID ATTORNEY WILL I MEAN THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WILL PUT ON
THEIR CASE- AND I DON'T SEE
THAT. IF WE'RE GOING TO ACCUSE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OF BEING-
BEING AN ETHICAL BASICALLY
BASED ON CONTRIBUTIONS HI DAD
AND- I THINK THE CITIZENS WOULD
SEE THROUGH THAT AND HOLD THEM
ACCOUNTABLE AT THE BALLOT BOX
SO I THINK THAT'S WHERE THE
ACCOUNTABILITY IS IT'S WITH THE
CITIZENS AND IF YOU HAVE A
PROSECUTE AG A DISTRICT
ATTORNEY THAT'S NOT GOING TO
PROSECUTE ANY POLICE. ISSUES
WHEN THERE COULD BE A VERY
OBVIOUS CASE A PERSON CAN GET
REMOVED IN OFFICE IT'S HAPPENED
BEFORE. AND IN DEVICE VERSA TO
WHEN SOMEBODY SEES SOMETHING
WHERE- OTHER PEOPLE ARE GETTING
PROSECUTED. THEY WIND UP
GETTING RECALLS OR BOARD
REMOVED ENOUGH FROM OFFICE AND
EXTEND THE RUN. SO IT'S
DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GO DOWN
THIS PATH OF MISTRUST OF A
DISTRICT ATTORNEY- THEY HAVE AN
OATH THEY THEY THEY TAKE AN
OATH- TO UPHOLD THE LAW. AND IF
THEY DON'T THEY WON'T BE
ATTORNEYS BECAUSE OF THE BAR
WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT. SO I
STRUGGLE WITH THAT THIS IS A
STRUGGLE WITH THIS A LOT. AND I
DON'T DIE I CAN'T SEE THAT I
CAN SUPPORT IT. THANK. ANY
OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS YOU
MAY CLOSE SOONER BRADFORD THANK
GOODNESS CHAIRED THANK YOU
MEMBERS AND I THINK WE FIND
OURSELVES IN A VERY UNIQUE
SITUATION FAR DIFFERENT THAN A
CITY COUNCIL PERSON FAR
DIFFERENT THAN A LEGISLATIVE
BODY WHO TAKES A CONTRIBUTION
AGAIN WE DON'T DETERMINE LIFE
OR DEATH WE DON'T DETERMINE THE
BILITY OF SENDING SOMEONE TO
AND CHARGING SOMEONE. IF THIS
IS A PERFECT WORLD THEN YOU
WOULD HAVE MORE THAN 1% OF
OFFICERS CHARGED IN LESS THAN
THAT CONVICTED IF THIS IS FAIR
THERE IS INCESTUOUS
RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTS
BETWEEN ONE FOUR SUBMIT NDAS
AND JUDGES AND IT'S HISTORICAL
AND WE'VE HAD A HUNDRED YEARS
UP WE'VE HAD THIRTEEN HUNDRED
SHOOTINGS. IN THE LAST TWO
YEARS. HOW MANY OFFICERS WERE
CHARGED. THIRTEEN WHO WOULDN'T
LOVE BILLS OCT ALL THOSE
THIRTEEN WHICH CHARGE FROM YOU
WERE CONVICTED ONE. I HAVE A
NEIGHBOR WHICH ONE IS MOST
BRILLIANT. DEFENSE ATTORNEYS
PROBABLY AN L. A. COUNTY HAVE
NOT TO STATE. HE WAS APPOINTED
TO THE BENCH A NUMBER OF YEARS
AGO. AFTER TWO YEARS ON THE
BENCH HE RESULT HE RESIGNED
BECAUSE OF THE INCESTUOUS
RELATIONSHIP THAT EXISTED
BETWEEN THE D. EIGHT AND THE
INVESTIGATORS OF POLICE
SHOOTINGS BECAUSE WHO
INVESTIGATES POLICE SHOOTINGS
OTHER POLICE OFFICERS AND THE
MAJORITY OF JUDGES COULD EVEN
GET JUDGES TO GO ALONG EVEN IN
A GRAND JURY INDICTMENT LIKE TO
SAY IT'S EASIER TO INDICT A HAM
SANDWICH THAN A- THAN A POLICE
OFFICER. AND MY GOOD NEIGHBOR
SAID I HAD TO RESIGN FROM THE
PRIOR TO GOING TO THE BENCH D.
EIGHT. AND IT'S A CLEAR
INCESTUOUS RELATIONSHIP.
BETWEEN OFFICERS AND ALL WE'RE
SEEING IS THAT IF YOU MAKE A
CONTRIBUTION. TO A DEAR. TO
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THERE'S A
CONFLICT AGAIN IF THERE WAS NOT
A CONFLICT YOU WOULD HAVE MORE
THAN 1% OF OFFICER BEING CHARGE.
LET'S GONNA TALK ABOUT
CONVICTED CHARGE WHO DID YOU
WRITE THAT OFF. IS TO IN NATURE
OF THE RELATIONSHIP THAT HAS
EXISTED FOR OVER A HUNDRED
YEARS AND IT'S FAR DIFFERENT
THAN AGAIN LOCAL ELECTED
OFFICIALS AND HERE IN THIS
LEGISLATIVE BODY WE ALL TAKE
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WE HAVE TO
RECUSE OURSELVES TO CERTAIN
AGREED ON A LOT OF THINGS BUT
THE CONFLICT THAT EXIST. HERE
WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS FAR
DIFFERENT AND YES IN THE
CONSTITUTION IT'S DATA STATE
BAR STATES THAT OFF. A
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT THAT YOU
KNOW YOU CAN ADDRESS THOSE
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BUT THERE
ARE LOOPHOLES THAT EXIST. AND
THAT- GUIDELINES THAT ARE FAR
DIFFERENT FROM ANYTHING THAT WE
HAVE TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR SO
IN ORDER TO BUILD TRUST. WE
NEED TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THIS
IS ABOUT TRUST AGAIN. MOST OF
THE OFFICERS THE OFFICERS WHO
BEAT RODNEY KING WITHIN A IT'S
OUR LIFE I DON'T LOST YOUR JOBS
THEY'RE STILL WORKING TODAY NO
ONE FOUND GUILTY OF ANYTHING
AND WE SAW ALL IN LIVING COLOR
HOW MANY MORE BRIANNA TAYLOR'S
DO WE NEED I MEAN MORE GEORGE
FLOYD DOING BUT MOST OF THOSE
OFFICERS ARE NEVER CONVICTED IF
IT WASN'T FOR VIDEO TAPE DEREK
SHOPPING WOULD BE WALKING THE
STREETS TODAY. BECAUSE NO DA
WOULD HAVE PROSECUTED THIS GUY.
NO D. A. WHAT IT CHARGES GOT.
THIS IS ABOUT RIGHTING A WRONG
THIS IS ABOUT LOOKING AT
HISTORICAL PRACTICES THAT
EXISTED BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT
COMMUNITY AND BUILDING TRUST
AND PROVIDING TRANSPARENCY AND
MOVIE REMOVING THAT INCESTUOUS
RELATIONSHIP THEY CLEARLY
EXISTS AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
RIVAL. AND I TO MISTER BRADFORD
I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
YEAR- I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD
ABOUT. ACTUALLY ALTERING THIS
BILL AND I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD
BE A LITTLE. TO RESTRICTIVE
WELL WHEN I LOOK AT THIS IT IS
THIS TERM PERCEPTION IS REALITY.
AND I THOUGHT ABOUT JUDGES AND
WE KNOW A LOT OF JUDGES IT
CAN'T CONTRIBUTED CAMPAIGNS
THEY CAN'T ENDORSE THINGS AND
WE HAVE MORE FAITH IN THEIR
JUDGMENT. AND WE DO WITH OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM AND SO- I THINK THIS
BILL IS A MEASURE BILL AND THAT
YOU GIVE OPPORTUNITIES. FOR
INDIVIDUAL TO STILL CONTRIBUTE
AND YOU GIVE THEM STILL
OPPORTUNITIES THAT THEY HAVE
THEIR VOICE AND TO SPEAK IN THE
IN THE POLITICAL SYSTEM-
WITHOUT RESTRICTING THEM AND
SO- I THINK THIS THIS IS A GOOD
COMPROMISE IN IN A LOT OF WAYS.
AND THAT- WE SHOULD GO AHEAD
AND NOT ONLY BOTH WHICH IS MOVE
THIS ALONG. BUT- MAYBE D. A.
SHOULD BE AT THE HIGHER RANK OF
ART AT THE HIGHER. VISIBILITY
OF WHAT THE JUDGES. BUT THAT'S
FOR ANOTHER DAY RIGHT NOW LET'S
JUST TAKE THIS FIRST STEP. AT
BEING ABLE TO GIVE THE D. A.'S.
THE CREDIBILITY THAT THEY NEED
TO MOVE FORWARD. AND SO WITH
THAT TEACHER IS ASKING FOR AN
AYE VOTE. CALDERON ON SB SEVEN
TEN BY SENATOR BRADFORD THE
MOTION IS G. PASSED THE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE JONES
SAWYER HI GENSER ATTY LACKEY.
LACKEY NO BARRICADE HAN LI LI
HI CORK. QUICK NOT VOTING
SANTIAGO THEY ARE TELL NO C. R.
TURNOUT WICKS WICKS I. THE
MESSAGE ON CALL EACH TO THANK
YOU MORE. AND WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY FOR A CARD SB. FIVE SIX
SIX SEVEN- AGAIN THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN EMBERS- I'M
HERE TO PRESENT SB FIVE SIX
SEVEN A BILL THAT WILL IMPROVE
THE STATE FELONY DETERMINATE
SENTENCING PROCESS I'M
ACCEPTING TO SUGGEST TO
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS ON PAGE
FIVE OF THE KNOWLES'S IS- TO
MAKE PENAL CODE SECTION. ELEVEN
SEVENTY POINT ONE PERTAINING TO
ENHANCEMENTS CONSISTENT WITH
THE APPROACH IN MY BILL THAT
SECTION WOULD OTHERWISE SUNSET
ON JANUARY. ONE TWENTY TWENTY
TO TWENTY TWENTY TWO IF THIS
BILL IS NOT AMENDED. JUST A
LITTLE BACKGROUND CURRENT LAW
SPECIFIES THAT IF THE STATUTE
SPECIFIES THREE POSSIBLE SINCE
SINCE SHE TURNED FOUR FELONY
OFFENSES LOW MEDIC MIDDLE OR
HIGH WITH VARIATIONS OF TIME TO
BE SERVED THE CHOICE
APPROPRIATE. APPROPRIATE TERMS
REST WITH THE DISCRETION OF THE
COURT EXISTING LAW SUNSETS
BEGAN ON JANUARY ONE TWENTY
TWENTY TWO. AND S. B. FIVE SIX
SEVEN IS A GOOD REPLACEMENT IT
MAKES THE SYNCING PROCESS A
LITTLE BIT MORE FAIR- THIS BILL
CREATES A PRESUMPTION OF
SENTENCING A JUDGMENT. NOT TO
EXCEED THE MIDDLE TERM UNLESS
THERE'S AGGRAVATED.
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT JUSTIFY-
IMPOSITION OF A HIGHER TERMS.
OF THIS BILL PROVIDES- THAT
WHEN I HIGHER TERMISM PULLS THE
FACTS SUPPORTING THOSE
AGGRAVATION SO MUST BE
STIPULATED. TO BY THE DEFENDANT
OR SUBMITTED TO THE JURY AND
PROVEN BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT OR FOUND BY THE COURT IN
A BENCH TRIAL IN THAT INSTANCE
WHERE THERE WAS NO JURY
INVOLVED. SB FIVE SIX SEVEN
ALLOWS THE PARTIES TO DISPUTE
THE FACTS IN THE RECORD OR
PRESENT ADDITIONAL FACTS THIS
MEASURE PERMITS DEFENDANTS TO
REQUEST I BY KATIE HEARING OF
TRIAL CHARGES TO BE SEPARATE IT
SEPARATED FROM ENHANCEMENTS
UNLESS THE FACTS AT ISSUE IS
ALREADY A ELEMENT OF THE CHARGE
OF THE FENCE. IN CONTEXT OVER
CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM WHILE
IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PUNISH
PEOPLE FOR COMMITTING CRIMES WE
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GIVE
IMPACTED PEOPLE PROPER DUE
PROCESS THAT IS BUILT ON
FAIRNESS AND FAX. S. B. A FIVE
SIX DOES JUST THAT FINALLY LONG
SINCE THE SINCE COSTS THE STATE
LOTS OF MONEY AND ARE
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO
REHABILITATING PEOPLE AND BRING
THEM BACK. TO THE FOLD AND TO
SOCIETY WE NEED TO REVERSE THIS
PRACTICE OF A FEEL OF WHAT I
SHOULD SAY OF A FILL PRACTICE.
I HAVE ONE WHEN THIS- HERE
TODAY- STE STEPHEN- MUNCUL. THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CRIMINAL
ATTORNEYS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE
MISTER MOM KILLED HAS SPENT
FORTY THREE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
AS AN ATTORNEY AND HAS A
CERTIFIED. IS A CERTIFIED
SPECIALIST IN CRIMINAL LAW
AFTER STEP TESTIMONY WILL- STAY
ONLINE TO ASSIST US IF THERE'S
ANY TELESCOPE TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS AND MEMBERS ARE
RESPECT US FOR ABOUT. THANK YOU
CENTER BRADFORD. I WOULD
GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR
TESTIMONY. STEPHEN MONK HELP
FROM. THESE OTHER GERMAN. YEAH
THAT'S FINE STATE RUN CAL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CJ AND
SPONSOR THIS BILL. ANY FACTS
USED TO INCREASE THE SENTENCE
ABOVE THE STATUTORY MAXIMUM
MUST BE PROVEN BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT AT TRIAL OR
ADMITTED BY THE SENATE. THAT
WAS THE HOLDING YOUR CUNNINGHAM
VERSUS CALIFORNIA TWO THOUSAND
SEVEN. IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
THIS LEGISLATURE RESPONDED TO
THE DECISION BY ATTEMPTING TO
FINESSE THE IDEA OF QUOTE
STATUTORY MAXIMUMS SAYING
RECORD WAS FREE TO CHOOSE ANY
OF THREE AVAILABLE TERMS. BUT
THERE'S CURRENTLY NO
REQUIREMENT FOR PROOF OF
AGGRAVATING FACTS AS THE
SUPREME COURT REQUIRED AND FOR
THAT REASON SHE SHE J. HAS
ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT THE
PRESENT. SYSTEM IS STILL
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SB FIVE SIXTY
SEVEN IS THE FIX TO THIS
CONSTITUTIONAL. BY AMENDING
PENAL CODE SECTION ELEVEN
SEVENTY SUBDIVISION B. IT
REQUIRES PROOF OF AGGRAVATING
FACTS AT TRIAL OR ADMISSION BY
THE DEFENDANT. IT ALSO REQUIRES
THAT THE TRIAL OF THOSE FAXED
YOU SEPARATED OR BIFURCATED
HUNDRED GUILT TRIAL IF THE
DEFENDANT REQUESTS. THIS IS TO
AVOID PREJUDICE FROM FACTORS
NOT RELATED TO THE PREFER CAL.
THESE NEWARK. ONLY APPLY IF THE
PROSECUTION IS SEEKING AN
AGGRAVATED TERMS. FIFTY EIGHT
THANKS OR LOWER TERM WILL BE
ADEQUATE PUNISHMENT THESE NEW
REQUIREMENTS DON'T COME INTO
PLAY. THE PROSECUTOR CAN EVEN
PRESENT AGGRAVATING FACTS AT
SENTENCING TO SUPPORT AN
ARGUMENT FOR THE MIDDLE TERMS.
WITHOUT DOING THE PLEADING
IMPROVES OUR REQUIREMENTS JUST
AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS DONE IN THE
PAST. IGNORE THE DA IS SEEKING
A MAXIMUM SENTENCE INVEST 3% OF
FELONY CASES THAT ACTUALLY GO
TO TRIAL. NOT ALL OF THEM WILL
INVOLVE A BIFURCATED TRIAL.
DIFFERENT AGGRAVATING FACTORS
WILL BE PROVEN AS PART OF THE
EVIDENCE OF JAIL THERE'S NO
BIFURCATION. IF THE DEFENSE
DOES NOT REQUESTED THERE'S NO
BY FISH. AND EVEN WHERE THERE
IS A REQUEST TO BIFURCATE
EXPERIENCE WITH THE BIFURCATION
OF PRIOR CONVICTIONS AT TRIAL
SUGGESTED IN MOST CASES AFTER
THE JURY FIND SKILLED. IN THE
SENATE WILL EITHER ADMIT THE
AGGRAVATING TRACKS OR WEAVE
JURY SO THE COURT ALONG WILL
DECIDE ON THE CRUCIBLES FAX. I
UNDERSTAND THERE'S AN AMENDMENT
TO THE VERSION BEFORE TODAY.
WHICH MADE ACCEPTED AND WE'RE
ALSO MADE CHANGES TO CANNOT.
ALONG BALANCE POINT ONE
REGARDING CHARGING- THIS-
PROPOSED AMENDMENT WOULD REMOVE
A SUNSET PROVISION. AND
HARMONIZE THE PROCEDURE
BETWEEN- THE CHARGES UNDER
ELEVEN SEVENTY AND BEING HAVE
SINCE THE SEVEN POINT ONE
WHERE. YOU'RE DEALING WITH AN
ENHANCEMENT WHICH HAS THREE
POSSIBLE TERMS. THERE'S A
MEMBER WOULD BE PRIMARILY JUST
ELEVEN SEVENTY POINT ONE
SUBDIVISION VINNY. AND THE
CHANGES AGAIN WOULD ONLY APPLY
WHERE THE PROSECUTION IS
SEEKING THE PROPER TERM OF THE.
THREE ALLOW FOR AN ENHANCED.
THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
REQUIREMENT SWEETEN HERE SON
THE MAN MAKES NO CHANGE AND
THAT- AND- THESE CHANGES WILL
FIND AND DEFINITIVELY. SOLVING
PROBLEM OF UNCONSCIOUS
SENTENCING. IN CAL. IN PRACTICE
THE CHANGE WILL OF THE ROLE
SMALL NUMBER. OF THE ALL SO
NUMBER OF CASES TO GO TO TRIAL.

DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION.
UP BY PHONE. MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS LARRY MORSE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION
IN RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION TO
SENATE BILL FIVE SIX SEVEN I
WOULD NOTE THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD
A CHANCE TO REVIEW THE
AMENDMENT YET- THIS BILL
AMENDS. CODE SECTION ELEVEN
SEVENTY SUBDIVISION BE TOO SO
THAT A TRIAL COURT MAY ONLY
IMPOSE A SENTENCE AN
AGGRAVATION IF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES AN AGGRAVATION
HAVE BEEN PROVEN BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT IF ADOPTED
THIS WOULD REQUIRE THE PEOPLE
TO THINK OF EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
AND THAT AGGRAVATION AND PLEAD
THE CIRCUMSTANCES IN ADVANCE OF
TRIAL. SB FIVE SIX SEVEN
UNDERMINES THE LEGISLATURE
SENSIBLE RESPONSE TO CUNNINGHAM
VERSUS CALIFORNIA IN WHICH THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
HELD THAT CALIFORNIA'S
DETERMINATE SENTENCING SCHEME
AS IT STOOD WAS NOT ACTUALLY
ADVISORY A JUDGE WAS REQUIRED
TO IMPOSE THE MIDDLE TERM
UNLESS IT BOUNCE BACKS IN
AGGRAVATION RENDERING THE
MIDDLE TERM THE TRUTH STATUTORY
MAXIMUM. ANY FACTS AN
AGGRAVATION BUS HAD TO BE
PROVEN BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT TO A JURY THREE MONTHS
AFTER THE DECISION AND
CUNNINGHAM IN MARCH OF TWO
THOUSAND SEVEN THE LEGISLATURE
PASSED SENATE BILL FORTY THE SO
CALLED CUNNINGHAM SIX WHICH
AMENDED PENAL CODE SECTION
ELEVEN SEVENTY SO THE TRIAL
COURTS WERE EMPOWERED TO
CONSIDER THE ENTIRETY OF THE
EVIDENCE. AND IMPOSE THE
MITGATED MIDDLE OR AGGRAVATED
TERM AS APPROPRIATE THE
LEGISLATURE DUST HELP THE
COURTS AND JURORS FROM BEING
OVERWHELMED BY LONG COSTLY
TRIALS WHERE THE PEOPLE WOULD
BE REQUIRED TO PROVE BEYOND A
REASONABLE DOUBT HOLISTIC
FACTORS IN AGGRAVATION SUCH AS
THE DEGREE OF PLANNING OR
SOPHISTICATION OF A CRIME.
WHETHER THE CRIME CONSTITUTED A
HATE CRIME WHETHER THE
DEFENDANT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF A
POSITION OF TRUST OR A
VULNERABLE VICTIM AND THE LEVEL
OF VIOLENCE THE DEFENDANT. USED
IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME
SUCH TRACTORS AND SUGAR LESS.
OFFENDERS GET SH SAY. AND
CULPABLE OFFENDER GET SO. SB
FIVE SIX SEVEN REQUIRE A
BIFURCATED TRIAL ON THESE
AGGRAVATING FACTORS- I'M LAST
THE AGGRAVATING FACTORS AND
ELEMENTS OF THE CRIME. WHAT
ABOUT THE FACTORS THAT ARE NOT
AN ELEMENT OF THE CRIME BUT ARE
STILL AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE
CHARGES SUCH AS THE
VULNERABILITY OF THE VICTIM
VICIOUSNESS CRUELTY AT CETERA.
THESE KINDS OF AGGRAVATING
FACTORS WOULD MOST LIKELY BE A
PART OF THE PROSECUTION'S CASE
IN CHIEF ANYWAY IT MAKES NO
SENSE FROM AN EFFICIENCY OR
COURT COSTS STANDPOINT BUT NOT
HAVE THE JURY MAKES THESE
FINDINGS AT THE SAME TIME THEY
ARE DECIDING GUILT ON THE CRIME
CHARGE. WE WOULD HOPE THAT
CENTER FOR BRADFORD WOULD
CONSIDER AMENDING THIS BILL SO
THAT IF AN AGGRAVATING FACTOR
IS NOT AN ELEMENT OF THE
OFFENSE WHAT WOULD NECESSARILY
BE PART OF THE PROSECUTION'S
EVIDENCE IT WOULD NOT HAVE TO
BE BIFURCATED. ALSO DEEP
CONCERNS THAT SB FIVE SIX SEVEN
SEVERELY RESTRICTS OF VICTIMS
PARTICIPATION IN THE SENTENCING
PROCESS FACTORS THAT THE VICTIM
WALKED THE COURT TO CONSIDER AN
AGGRAVATION COULD NOT BE
CONSIDERED. UNLESS THEY WERE
PLAYED IN ADVANCE OF JURY TRIAL
AND PROVEN BEYOND A REASONABLE
DOUBT THIS WOULD BE
PARTICULARLY UNFAIR IN CASES
WHERE EVIDENCE WAS EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDED AS A RELEVANT OR
INFLAMMATORY. AS WE SAW WITH
THE HIGHLY PUBLICIZED BROCK
TURNER CASE A FEW YEARS AGO THE
SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIM STATEMENT
AT SENTENCING WAS POWERFUL. AND
IMPACTFUL. SUCH TESTS TO.
SHOULD NEVER BE. BECAUSE OF
THESE CONCERNS THE CALIFORNIA

WILL EXPAND CALIFORNIA'S
EXISTING SYSTEM FOR ARREST AND
CONVICTION RECORD RELIEF IN
THREE WAYS. WHEN IT COMES TO-
UP EXTENDED AUTOMATIC ARREST
RECORD SEALING TO FELONIES IF
THE INDIVIDUAL WAS NEITHER
CHARGED NOR CONVICTED SIX YEARS
AFTER THE ARREST. IT WOULD
EXTEND- AUTOMATIC CONVICTION
RECORD RELIEF TO NON SERIOUS
AND NON VIOLENT FELONIES. AFTER
AN INDIVIDUAL COMPLETES ALL
TERMS OF INCARCERATION
PROBATION. SUPERVISION POST
RELEASE SUPERVISION PAROLE AND
A FURTHER PERIOD OF FOUR YEARS
WITHOUT ANYNEW CONVICTIONS.
AND IT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS
CONVICTED OF A FELONY TO
PETITION. IT WOULD BE BY
PETITION THE COURT FOR SEAT
SEEK THE CEILING BELIEF. THESE
PETITIONS ARE DONE ON A CASE BY
CASE BASIS AND THE COURTS MAKE
THE FINAL DECISION. THERE EIGHT

THE MEANS TO OVERCOME- US CIVIC
EXCLUSIONS THAT A PAST RECORD
BRINGS. THIS DOES NOT CHANGE

THAT 86% OF A. R. C. NUMBERS

EXPUNGED AND MAJORITY EIGHTY
FIVE PERCENT. HAVE BEEN DENIED
WORK BECAUSE OF THEIR PRIOR
CONVICTION HISTORY. BLOCKING

SUCCESSFUL REENTRY AND AGAIN
COME AT THE COST OF TWENTY
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY TO
CALIFORNIA'S ECONOMY. AS
CONTINUES OPEN UP AND

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS FRANCIE
KAHLER I'M A PAST PRESIDENT AND
CURRENT SHARE THE GOVERNMENT
AFFAIRS COMMITTEE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
LICENSED INVESTIGATORS I
REPRESENT OVER ELEVEN HUNDRED
MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES I'M
ALSO. A CRIMINAL DEFENSE
INVESTIGATOR AND HAVE BEEN FOR
OVER THIRTY SIX YEARS. WE
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR HAS
AMEND. AMENDED SB SEVEN THIRTY
ONE TO INCLUDE VIOLENT AND-
SERIOUS FELONIES AND TO
PRESERVE ACCESS FOR FOUR YEARS
RATHER THAN THE TWO YEARS THAT
WAS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED.
HOWEVER THE MEASURE STILL
AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE RECORDS.
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE BEEN
CONVICTED AND SUBSEQUENT
COMPLETELY THEIR SENTENCES IN
ANY PAROLE OR PROBATION
VIOLATIONS ARE PART OF OUR- OUR
SOCIETY. WE SUPPORT A PROCESS
TO ENABLE PEOPLE TO HAVE A
SECOND CHANCE. PARTICULARLY
WHEN IT INVOLVES EMPLOYMENT IN
HOUSING IT'S CRITICAL. THERE
ARE HOWEVER MANY SITUATIONS.
WHEN A CRIMINAL CONVICTION IS
THAT A VITAL IMPORTANCE TO THE
PROTECTION OF OUR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMUNITY. SUCH AS
EVALUATING STAKEHOLDERS IN
MERGERS. ACQUISITIONS AND
BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS. VALUE IN
AN INDIVIDUAL EITHER AS A
ROOMMATE OR IN A ROMANTIC
RELATIONSHIP. CRENNEL CUSTODY
AND- PARENTAL SKEWS ME CUSTODY
IN DIVORCE CASES. EDIBILITY IN
CIVIL LAWSUITS SUCH AS THE
RIGHT TO CONFRONT WITNESSES
WITH IMPEACHMENT INFORMATION.
IN THE INTEREST OF AN EQUITABLE
JUSTICE SYSTEM THIS INFORMATION
MUST ALSO BE AVAILABLE TO BOTH
SIDES IN A CIVIL PROCEEDING.
EVALUATED APPLICANTS BEEN
CONVICTED OF FINANCIAL FRAUD
FOR EXAMPLE THAT'S APPLYING FOR
FINANCIAL POSITION IN A CARE
GIVING SITUATION SUCH AS A
NURSING HOME AND PUTTING THE
PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES AT
WORTH. AND I SEE THAT. THOSE
THAT ARE CONSIDERED FOR ELECTED
POSITION OUR POLITICAL
APPOINTEE- DO HAVE TO SELF
DISCLOSE IF THEY HAVE A
CONVICTION BUT THAT'S ONLY A
SELF DISCLOSURE AND NO WAY TO
VERIFY. FINALLY SB SEVEN THIRTY
ONE WHAT FOR ME THAT PROHIBIT
MANY BUSINESSES FROM COMPLYING
WITH EXISTING LAWS THAT INCLUDE
SPECIFIC LOOK BACK PERIODS AND
SET FOR THE MANDATORY SCOPE OF
SCREENING. INSTEAD OF THE BRIDE
AND COMPLETE CLOSURE OF
CRIMINAL RECORDS AN ALTERNATIVE
WOULD BE TO RESTRUCTURE ITS
PROVISIONS SO THAT THE SAME
CRITERIA APPLE COAL TO
EMPLOYMENT. THAT CURLY ALLOWS
ONLY SEVEN YEARS AND NOW IN THE
BILL IS FOUR YEARS WOULD
ACTUALLY APPLY TO HOUSING AS
WELL. THE SAME RULES THAT APPLY
TO EMPLOYMENT WOULD APPLY TO
HOUSING WHERE THE APPLICANT OF
WHERE THE RECEIVER OF THE
APPLICANT COULD ONLY LOOK BACK
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AND NO
MORE INSTEAD OF THE CLOSER
RECORDS AND FOR THESE REASONS
SB SEVEN THIRTY ONE. ACCORDING
TO OUR VIEW DOES NOT STRIKE AN
APPROPRIATE BALANCE BETWEEN THE
ABILITY OF CONVICTED
INDIVIDUALS TO BUILD A NEW
LIFE. AND THE PROTECTION OF THE
PUBLIC I URGE A NO VOTE IN THE
COMMITTEE UNLESS IT'S AMENDED

DELIVERIES PROCESS. CURRENTLY
THE DEFINITION OF MALE ONLY
PROTECTS U. S. P. S. UNITED
STATES POSTAL SERVICE MAIL. AND
THIS DEFINITION IS OVER SEVENTY
YEARS OLD. AND IS SIMPLY
OUTDATED. TODAY WE HAVE MANY
MALE CARE OPTIONS MANY
DIFFERENT TYPES OF MALE RANGING
FROM POSTCARDS. TO LARGE
ENVELOPES TO PACKAGES. ALL
THESE SHOULD BE AWARDED THE
SAME THEFT PROTECTION AS USPS
MAIL. BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT
COVET NINETEEN SITUATION ONLINE
SALES HAVE INCREASED
EXPONENTIALLY IN FACT BETWEEN
MARCH TWENTY TWENTY. IN APRIL
THIS YEAR ONLINE SALES HAS
INCREASED FORTY NINE PERCENT.
IN OUR COUNTRY. WHILE SHOPPING
ONLINE CAN BE EASIER AND SAFER
UNFORTUNATELY THIEVES WITH MALA
TENSION ARE INCREASINGLY
STEALING PACKAGES HE SEES ARE
OFTEN RE REFER TO AS PORCH
PIRATES. I JUST A PORTION
AMOUNT OF PORCH PIRACY OCCURS
IN CALIFORNIA IN 20001930% OF
ALL STOLEN PACKAGES ACROSS THE
NATION WERE STOLEN IN THIS
STATE. I'LL SAY THAT AGAIN 30%
OF ALL STOLEN PACKAGES AND
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WERE
STOLEN IN CALIFORNIA. THESE
PACKAGES CAN CONTAIN A WIDE
VARIETY OF HIS INITIAL ITEMS
SUCH AS MEDICATIONS AND FOOD.
MANY SENIORS AND DISABLED
INDIVIDUALS IN YOUR DISTRICT
AND MY DISTRICT RELY ON THESE
PACKAGES EVERY DAY FOR DELIVERY
FOR THEIR FOR THEIR DAILY
SURVIVAL. NOW TO PROTECT THOSE
MOST VULNERABLE WE MUST TAKE
EVERY STEP TO STOP THIS PACKAGE
THEFT. THIS UPDATED DEFINITION
OF MAIL WILL COMBAT PORCH
PIRACY BY PROTECTING ALL TYPES
OF MAIL INCLUDING PACKAGES FROM
ALL TYPES OF MAIL CARRIERS. SB
THREE FIFTY EIGHT SIMPLY BRINGS
PARITY BETWEEN U. S. P. S. AND
NON U. S. P. S. MAIL THEFT.

THROUGHOUT THE DELIVERY
PROCESS. AS CONSUMERS WE OFTEN
DON'T KNOW WHERE OUR PACKAGES
ARE COMING FROM- WHAT KERRIER

THAT ALL OUR PACKAGES WILL BE
PROTECTED THROUGHOUT THE
DELIVERY PROCESS REGARDLESS OF
THE CARRIER. THE LAW IS
CURRENTLY WRITTEN IS NOT
EQUALLY PROTECT DIFFERENT FORMS
OF MALES AND IT CAN BECOME A
LIFE OR DEATH MATTER VERY

KATHY SURE FOR ACLU CALIFORNIA
ACTIONS WE RESPECTFULLY NOT
DEPOSED SB THREE FIFTY EIGHT.
THIS BILL WOULD DOUBLE THE
POTENTIAL JAIL TERM FOR THEFT
OF LOW VALUE PACKAGES FOR SIX
MONTHS UNDER CURRENT LAW TO
YEAR ASPECTOS DEL. I HAVE BEEN
THE VICTIM OF PACKAGED BACK
SEVERAL TIMES I UNDERSTAND
PEOPLE'S FRUSTRATION WITH THIS
CRIME. THAT SAID WHEN SOMEONE
COME BONTA MY COURTS AND FIELDS
MY TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR BOX OF
ORGANIC SACKS MY NEW IMMERSION
BLENDER OR EVEN A NICE DOWN
JACKET I GOT MY PARTNER FOR
CHRISTMAS. IT IS NOT AN
APPROPRIATE RESPONSE OR A JUST
RESPONSE TO BLOCK THAT PERSON
UP FOR A YEAR. THIS IS TRUE FOR
SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST WE IT'S
NOT GOING TO WORK TO REDUCE THE
INCIDENCE OF PACKAGE THAT. MANY
YEARS OF RESEARCH SHOW THAT AN
INCREASE IN THE SEVERITY OF
PUNISHMENT DOES NOTHING TO
DETER FUTURE OFFENSES. IT'S
GROWING MONEY AWAY SPENDING IT
WITHOUT ANY BENEFIT TO PUBLIC
SAFETY. SECOND IT DIRECTLY
CONTRAVENES THE WILL OF
CALIFORNIA VOTERS AND ENACTING
PROP FORTY SEVEN. THE VOTERS
UNDERSTOOD THAT SPENDING THE
STATE'S MONEY ON LOCKING UP LOW
LEVEL OFFENDERS FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME WITH WASTEFUL
AND INEFFECTIVE AND THEY OPTED
TO MOVE AWAY FROM THAT APPROACH.
FINALLY WE KNOW THAT ANY
INCREASE IN PUNISHMENT FOR THIS
TYPE OF LOW LEVEL CRIME. IS
GOING TO FALL
DISPROPORTIONATELY ON BLACK
PEOPLE AND OTHER PEOPLE OF
COLOR. CALIFORNIA HAS TAKEN
MEANINGFUL STEPS TO MOVE TOWARD
LESS PUNITIVE MORE EFFECTIVE
AND MORE HUMANE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE POLICIES. WE KNOW WHAT
WORKS TO PREVENT CRIME IF YOU
WANT TO STOP PACKAGE BACK UP
THE REAL EDUCATIONAL AND
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND MORE
ABOUT SOCIAL SERVICES. TO ALL
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AND PROVIDE EFFECTIVE
PROGRAMMING AND SUPPORT THE
REINTEGRATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE
CONVICTED OF CRIMES. DON'T
THROW THE STATE MONEY AWAY ON
LONGER SENTENCES THAT DO MORE
HARM THAN GOOD. WE RESPECTFULLY
AFTER YOUR NOTE. THANK YOU. NOT

CENTS. IF THEY'VE BEEN STOLEN

AT THIS TIME. OKAY DO NOT BRING
IT BACK INTO COMMITTEE MEMBERS-
SO MR SANTIAGO. I GREW UP IN MR
LACKEY. THANK YOU SELECTED I'LL
BE VERY VERY OF. VERY BRIEF I'D
I WOULD FIRST OF ALL LIKE TO
JUST SAY THAT. IT'S VERY
UNLIKELY THAT THESE PEOPLE
COMMIT THIS OFFENSE THAT YOU'RE
ADDRESSING ONLY DO ONE
RESIDENTS AT A TIME. WELL AT A
TIME THEY ONLY DO IT BUT I MEAN
THEY CONTINUALLY DO MULTIPLE
RESIDENCES BECAUSE THERE REALLY
IS NO. THREAT OF ARREST OR ANY
THREAT OF SIGNIFICANT
CONSEQUENCES SECONDLY. IT WAS
JUST A. NOT THAT LONG AGO
TWENTY NINETEEN WHERE WE HAD
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LOW WITH THE AB
TWELVE TEN. IN A BILL WAS VERY
SIMILAR TO THIS THE PAST SIX OO.
BY THIS COMMITTEE AND THIS
PROBLEM HAS DONE NOTHING BUT
GOT WORSE. SINCE THAT ACTUALLY
OCCURRED SO I'M THANKFUL YOU'RE
BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION
AND IT PROBABLY HAS MY SUPPORT
THANK YOU. THANK YOU MISTER. MR
SANTIAGO. I THINK MR CANNOT A
COUPLE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I'VE
HEARD A LOT OF DEBATE IN THE
UNITED- TALKED ABOUT A LITTLE
BEEN TRYING TO GET CLARITY. AND
HERE'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO GET
TO SO THERE'S THERE IS- OF
COURSE THE PEOPLE SAYING THAT
THIS IS GOING TO INCREASE
PENALTIES AND CRIMES THE WAY I
UNDERSTOOD WHEN I LOOKED AT I
WANNA BE CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT I'M
UNDERSTANDING YOU CORRECTLY. IS
YOUR BURNT YOUR BRING IN PARITY.
TO THAT SORT OF DELIVERY SYSTEM
OF GOODS WHATEVER COMPANY IT
MAY BE. TO WHAT THE POST OFFICE
CURRENTLY DOES BUT I WANNA BE
CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL IS TRYING TO DO.
ABSOLUTELY I THINK MISTER SAN
DIEGO SOME OF THE CONFUSION ON
THAT IS- BASED ON PREVIOUS
CONVERSATIONS. ON MISTER LOWE'S
BILL. A FROM A COUPLE OF YEARS
AGO MY ORIGINAL- RENDITION OF
THIS BILL LAST YEAR- INCLUDED-
AND FOR EXAMPLE IN MY BILL
INCLUDED. YOU KNOW INTENT TO
STEAL INCLUDED- ENTERING THE
CARTILAGE CURTILAGE OF THE
HOME. AND SO THERE WAS A LOT OF
OTHER DETAILS IN IN THAT BILL
THAT- AS AND IS NOT IN THIS
BILL NOW. AND IN FACT THE VERY
LANGUAGE OF THE BILL IS VERY
CLEAR AND THEN IT'S JUST A FEW
COUPLE WORDS CHANGES THAT IT'S
MAKING. THEIR MODERN DELIVERY
SYSTEM- OF OTHER COMPANIES.
RIGHT I MEAN WE'RE JUST
EQUALIZING EVERYTHING TO THE
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE IN
FACT. THIS LANGUAGE WAS- WORKED
OUT BETWEEN MY OFFICE. AND
SENATE PUBLIC SAFETY TO COME TO
A I THINK A BETTER BILL AND I
AND I'M- MORE. A CLEANER BILL
AND THEN EASIER TO- OPERATE
UNDER THIS LAW THAN WHAT I WAS
ORIGINALLY INTENDING. SO YES
THAT THAT THAT IS TO ANSWER
QUESTION DIRECTLY YES IS DOING
EXACTLY THAT PUTTING PARITY
INTO THIS. COAT MESSAGES I
STARTED VOICE MAN. MISTER ROGER
BUT BUT WHEN PAIRED IT WILL
WORK MAN YES PLEASE THAT IS SO
MISTER MISTER WITH QUESTION I'D
LIKE TO CONTINUE TO ASK IF I
WANT YOU TO ADDRESS MAYBE WHY
WE'RE HEARING- THE OPPOSITE
BECAUSE- IN AND OUT BECAUSE OF
THE I MEAN THE ARGUMENT ABOUT-
THE ARGUMENT ABOUT INCREASING
FEES AND PENALTIES AND SUPPORT.
DOES NOT SIT WELL WITH ME WHEN
IT COMES TO. A SERVICE TO A TO
THIS PARTICULAR- ITEM BUT- WHY
THEN WOULD SOMEBODY MAKE THAT
ARGUMENT WELL I THINK BASED ON
THE- CURRENTLY- YOU KNOW FOR
LACK OF FED EX YOU YOU PS- AND
THE OTHER DELIVER COMPANIES
AREN'T COVERED. UNDER THIS CODE
AND SO THERE'S SOME DEBATE ON.
ON YOU KNOW HOW- POLICE AND
PROSECUTORS NEED TO PROSECUTE
THAT CRIME SO AGAIN THIS IS
JUST. BRINGING THEM ALL UNDER
THE SAME CODE MAKING PARITY ON
EVERYTHING WE'RE NOT CREATING A
NEW. CRIME WERE NOT. INCREASING
THE PENALTIES FOR ANY CRIME THE
CRIME AND THE PENALTIES ARE
ALREADY IN CODE. WE'RE JUST
MATCHING. ALL THE OTHER
DELIVERY SYSTEMS TO. WHAT THE
U. S. P. S. HAS AND AGAIN IT
GOES BACK TO THOSE PREVIOUS
ITERATIONS OF THE BILL THE
PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS I
BELIEVE BECAUSE SOME OF THAT
CONFUSION. IF I HAVE ANYTHING
I'LL COME BACK WITH THE SECOND
COMING- IS ABOUT OKAY IS THERE
FOR. YEAH OR I CAN ANSWER THE
QUESTION SO THIS WOULD GIVE YOU
PARITY WITH THE U. S. P. S.
PENALTIES HOWEVER IT CAN ALSO
RIGHT NOW TODAY IF YOU STEAL A
PACKAGE IT'S ARE PROSECUTED
UNDER JUST COMMON THEFT. AND
THE PENALTY THERE IS SIX UP TO
SIX MONTHS RATHERTHAN A YEAR
EITHER WAY IT'S A MISDEMEANOR
THIS ONE ALLOWS IT FOR UP TO A
YEAR- UNDER PROP FORTY SEVEN
ALL OF THOSE CRIMES WERE. CHECK
WELL THE PENALTIES WERE CHANGED
AND YOU DON'T GET MORE THAN SIX
MONTHS UNLESS YOU STEAL
SOMETHING OVER NINE HUNDRED
FIFTY DOLLARS SO WITH ISN'T
INCREASE OVER WHAT THE CURRENT
PROSECUTION WOULD BE BUT IT
JUST BRINGS IT IN LINE WITH THE
U. S. POST OFFICE- I'VE GONE
BACK AND FORTH ON THIS BILL I
AM GOING TO VOTE FOR TO DAY-
AND- BECAUSE YOU DID. CHANGE SO
MUCH AND NOW SENATE PUBLIC
SAFETY I THINK- RESPECTING THAT
CHAIR SEVEN PUBLIC SAFETY I
WILL VOTE YESTERDAY AND I GUESS
I'D BETTER MOVE THE BILL. ALL
RIGHT YES PLEASE. OKAY THANK
YOU MR VICE CHAIR AND I JUST I
WANTED TO BUILD ON THE
CONVERSATION THAT'S HAPPENED SO
FAR AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THE
LEGISLATURE DETERMINED THAT
MAIL THEFT ALERT. SERVED TWELVE
MONTHS- NOW MAIL IS DELIVERED I
MEAN EVEN FROM WHEN I WAS A
CHILD I THE VAST MAJORITY OF
MAIL WAS DELIVERED BY THE US
POSTAL SERVICE THAT'S NO LONGER
TRUE THE VAST MAJORITY OF MY
PACKAGES ARE NOT DELIVERED BY
PRIVATE CARRIER. SO IF. AFTER
THE PACKAGE WAS ENVISIONED TO
BE TWELVE YEAR TWELVE MONTHS
USING TWELVE MONTHS AND THAT
SHOULD BE TRUE NO MATTER WHO IS
DELIVERING THE PACKAGE IF THE
CONVERSATION IS WHETHER OR NOT
THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT
OF TIME TO ME THAT IS A
SEPARATE CONVERSATION. AND ONE
OF THIS LEGISLATURE CAN TAKE UP
AND- AND THEN WE WILL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS BUT THE QUESTION BEFORE
US TODAY IS SHOULD IT MATTER
WHO DELIVERS YOUR PACKAGE AND
MAIL THEFT IS. HAPPENING ALL
THE TIME TO MY CONSTITUENTS AS
I'M SURE IS TRUE OF MANY OF US
AND IF TWELVE MONTHS IS
APPROPRIATION MATTER OF AMAZON
IS YOUR DELIVER A OR THE POST
OFFICE AND SO I AM LOOKING FOR
AND SUPPORTING THIS TODAY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. WITH A-
THANK YOU VERY ROBUST
CONVERSATION FOR THIS BILL- AND
I KNOW YOU AND I'VE SPOKEN
ABOUT THIS BEFORE SO I JUST
HAVE TWO THINGS ONE SO I JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE ANDERSON IS
VERY CLEARLY THAT IF YOU'LL GET
MAIL DELIVERED THROUGH A
PRIVATE KERRIER AMAZON UPS.
FEDEX WHATEVER- IF THAT
PACKAGES IS STOLEN UNDER YOUR
BILL THEY WOULD THEN ADD THAT
THE POTENTIAL SENTENCING WOULD
BE AT PARITY WITH CURRENT
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE
PENALTIES WHICH IS UP TO ONE
YEAR WHAT YES AND WE'RE NOT
CHANGING ANY SORT OF CURRENT US
PS PENALTIES AS WRITING THE
SAME. OKAY THANK YOU FOR THAT-
I FORGOT MY SECOND QUESTION I'M
SORRY. WHAT IT WAS JUST BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ONCE THE BILL
PASSES. THANK YOU- SO YOU KNOW
WHAT THIS REALLY BOILS DOWN TO
IS. WHAT THEY HAVE SAID YOU
KNOW THIS ABOUT MAIL AND AT THE
EXPANSION OF OUR MAIL SYSTEM
HAS SIX. I MEAN THEY DELIVER
PACKAGES THAT ARE SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS TO YOUR FRONT PORCH.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT THERE TO TAKE
ON BEFORE THE PERSON COMING
DOWN THE ROAD TO SEIZE IT THERE
TAKES IT- THAT'S A SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS DOWN NOT TO FORTY SEVEN
DOLLARS STAFF- SO THAT THAT'S
TO ME THAT'S KIND OF BESIDE THE
POINT. THE POINT IS PEOPLE ARE
SICK AND TIRED OF HAVING YOUR
STUFF STOLEN OFF THE FRONT
PORCH BY THESE PART B. PORCH
PIRATES. AND AND SO THAT THE
ANSWER TO THAT IS TO DO EXACTLY
WHAT THIS BILL IS DOING IS
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE PORCH
PIRATES KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
GETTING INTO WHICH IS THE SAME
AS IF YOU'RE BREAKING IN OUR
MAILBOXES WHICH THEY DO A LOT
OF. AND AND YOU GET TO PAY A
PRICE FOR THAT YOU GET TO PAY A
PENALTY. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
IS AND YOU KNOW WHETHER THE
PENALTIES TO STEP OR NOT THAT'S
LIKE. MISS BAR CANCER IS FOR
ANOTHER OTHER DAY BUT I THINK
IT'S A GREAT BILL AND I THINK
THAT THE PUBLIC WOULD BE AS
WELL RECEIVED FROM THE PUBLIC
WHO ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING
RIPPED OFF. AND AND IT'S A
GREAT RESPONSE TO THAT. AND SO
ARE YOU TAKING AMENDMENTS ON
THE BILL BECAUSE IF YOU ARE
LOVED WE HAD AND- IF WE
ENCOUNTER I WOULD HAVE. YES I'D
BE HAPPY TO ADD YOU AS A CO
AUTHOR ANYBODY ELSE I DON'T WE
DON'T HAVE ANY MEMBERS PLAN AT
THIS POINT TIME BECAUSE IT'S-
THE BILL'S BEEN PRETTY I DIDN'T
MEAN IT IS A PRETTY EFFICIENT
BUILT ON. THERE SO I THINK I'M
A CO AUTHOR NOT AMENDMENTS
THOUGH YEAH I THANK YOU. I'D
LIKE TO BE ADDED. THANK YOU.
THIS WORKS SORRY I REMEMBER
SECOND GRADE- ONE OF THE THINGS
UNITED. BILL EARLIER WAS- WOULD
SAY THAT THIS BILL IS NOT NOT.
IT'S NOT. YOU TO. SO OF YOUR OF
UP. OR ONE OFF IT'S MORE GEARED
TOWARDS THE SORT OF
PROFESSIONAL RINGS THAT- SOME
PEOPLE BELIEVE ARE PERPETRATING
THESE CRIMES. CAN YOU TELL ME
EXACTLY HOW THIS BILL IS.
GEARED TOWARDS THAT UNIVERSE OF
PEOPLE WELL I THINK THAT- YOU
KNOW THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE
OBVIOUSLY HAS A GREAT BILL
THAT'S- WORKING ITS WAY THAT'S-
GOING AFTER. CRIME RINGS AND-
THE ORGANIZED- PACKAGE THEFT.
WHICH I. YOU KNOW THIS BILL I
THINK SUPPLEMENTS THAT
COMPLIMENTS IT DOESN'T GET IN
ITS WAY DID DOESN'T- CHANGE IT
AT ALL- A LOOK IN INDIFFERENCE.
I UNDERSTAND THE OPPOSITION'S
ARGUMENTS ON A TWENTY FIVE
DOLLAR PACKAGE OR FORTY SEVEN
DOLLAR PACKAGE THAT'S- THAT.
WILL I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
ENVISIONS WITH THIS BILL THAT
THAT'S WHAT. WE'RE GOING TO
PROSECUTE RIGHT AYE AYE BUT-
THE SAME PEOPLE THAT ARE
RECEIVING TWENTY FIVE DOLLAR
PACKAGES AND FORTY SEVEN OUR
PACKAGES ARE ALSO RECEIVING
ESSENTIAL. SUPPLIES MEDICATIONS
FOOD- YOU KNOW SINCE THE
PANDEMIC STARTED A LOT MORE
PEOPLE ARE ORDERING FOOD TO BE
DELIVERED THAN EVER BEFORE.
MEDICATIONS OBVIOUSLY YOU'RE
COMING MEDICAL DEVICES MEDICAL
SUPPLIES. HE IS WE GARDASIL THE
VALUE OF THOSE PARTICULAR ITEMS
THAT ARE LEFT ON THE PORCH.
THEIR THEIR VALUES THEIR DOLLAR
IT'S NOT THE DOLLAR VALUE THAT
MATTERS IT'S- WHAT IT MEANS TO
THAT PERSON WHO'S RECEIVING
THAT PACKAGE OF ITS A MEDICAL
DEVICE OR MEDICAL SUPPLIES IT
DOES MATTER HOW MUCH IT COSTS.
THEY NEED THAT SUPPLY TO
SURVIVE. AND SO- THIS IS
DESIGNED TO GO AFTER. FOLKS
THAT ARE FOR YOU KNOW FOR LACK
OF A BETTER TERM MAKING A
LIVING. OUT OF FOLLOWING THE
AMAZON TRUCK AND WHEN THEY GO
AROUND THE CORNER- GOING ON TO
THAT PERSON'S. FRONT YARD AND
FRONT DOOR IN AND GRABBING THAT
THAT- THAT BOX. OR PACKAGE OR
WHATEVER SO- YEAH GOING TO WORK
YEAH I THINK THE BEST WAY TO
THINK ABOUT THIS IS IF SOMEBODY
REALLY JUST ONCE STOLE A TWENTY
FIVE DOLLAR. OR FIFTY OR A
HUNDRED DOLLARS WORTH PACKAGE-
THE DA ISN'T GONNA GO ALL HOG
AND PUT THEM IN JAIL FOR A
YEAR- YOU KNOW THEY'LL TRY AND
GET THEM TO PLEAD TO. YOU NOW.
PLEAD GUILTY CAN NOW PAY FIND
THEY'RE NOT GONNA PUT HIM IN
JAIL FOR THE REST ON THE OTHER
HAND IF IT IS. SOMEBODY GOING
AROUND AND PICKING UP ONE
PACKAGE AFTER ANOTHER. THEN
THEY MAY GO AFTER THEM AND THEY
MIGHT PUT HIM IN JAIL FOR A
YEAR AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT SO.
I FINALLY TALKED MYSELF INTO
YOUR BILL. TOPS YOU I YOU'VE
YOU'VE ARGUED YOURSELF MUCH
BETTER THAN I COULD HAVE. AND
THE OTHER. PEOPLE WE ASK IF YOU.
WE ARE TOGETHER YEAH RIGHT OF
COURSE ISN'T MUCH. IT IS NOT
THE BILL IN PARLIAMENT SECOND
AND ON S. THREE FIFTEEN BY
SENATOR JOHNS THE MOTION.
SHARES RECORD. IS NOT. I THINK
THAT'S FAIR TO SAY OKAY ON SB

I KNOW IT'S AN EXCITING DAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR LEYVA FOR THE
INTRODUCTION GOOD AFTERNOON
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY
NAME IS MICHELLE MONTH IT'LL
SUCK THE ELDEST SURVIVING
SISTER OF SEAN MONTERROSA JOHN
WHAT THAT ALSO WAS KILLED BY
VALLEJO POLICE ON JUNE SECOND
OF TWENTY TWENTY HE WAS
KNEELING WHAT IS HANDS IN THE
AIR IN A PARKING LOT ONE BELOW
POLICE OFFICER JARED TIME FIRED
FIVE SHOTS FROM THE BACKSEAT OF
A MOVING. UNMARKED POLICE
VEHICLE AND KILLED HIM. THIS IS
EQUIVALENT TO A DRIVE BY
SHOOTING. THERE'S NO WAY AN
OFFICER. COULD I FELL UNDER ANY
THREAT FROM THE BACKSEAT OF A
MOVING VEHICLE ESPECIALLY ONE
WHICH IS NOT EVEN IDENTIFY UP
AND IDENTIFIABLE AS A POLICE
VEHICLE. AS YOU CAN IMAGINE
NOTHING WILL BRING BACK SHAUN.
BUT AS F. F. SB TWO NINE NINE
HAD ALREADY BEEN A LAW OUR
PARENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
TAKE TIME OFF FROM WORK TO
MOURN HIM. AND PLANETS FUNERAL.
WE HAVE SISTERS COULD HAVE US
THAT ACCESS COUNSELING TO HELP
US PROCESS OUR GRIEF. AND WE
WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD
KNOWLEDGE THAT'S VICTIMS AND
RECEIVE THE SUPPORT AND
COMPASSION WE DESERVE. BUT IN
REALITY WE WERE MET WITH NONE
OF THAT THE LITTLE SUPPORT WE
DO HAVE WHAT WE BECAUSE WE HAVE
TO FIGHT FOR IT. IN ORDER TO
GIVE SEAN HIS PROPER BURIAL OUR
FAMILY HOW TO SET UP A GO FUND
ME. AND DEPEND ON OUR COMMUNITY
TO SUPPORT US THROUGH THE MOST
DEVASTATING TIME IN OUR LIVES.
FINDING JUSTICE FOR YOUR LOVED
ONE IS NOT EASY. MY SISTER AND
I HAVE QUIT OUR JOBS. OUR
PARENTS WERE ONLY ABLE TO TAKE
TWO DAYS OFF WORK TO GRIEVE THE
LOSS OF THEIR ONLY SON AND HAVE
BEEN WORKING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
WITH NO ACCESS TO COUNSELING OR
THERAPY. IMMIGRATED HERE TO
GIVE US THE AMERICAN DREAM ONLY
TO BE MET WITH AMERICAN
NIGHTMARE WHICH IS LOSING YOUR
LOVED ONE TO POLICE VIOLENCE.
WE NO LONGER HAVE ACCESS TO OUR
BROTHER WE CANNOT SPEAK TO HIM
LAUGH WITH HIM. OUR MOTHER WILL
NEVER SERVE SHAUN ANOTHER MEAL.
OUR FATHER WOULD NEVER HOLD
SHAWN'S CHILDREN HIS LAP WE
FEEL BLESSED AND GRATEFUL TO
HAVE. THE SUPPORT OF OUR
COMMUNITY DURING THIS TIME BUT
NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO FIGHT FOR
JUSTICE AND CARRY ALL THIS PAIN
WITH NO RESOURCES OR SUPPORT.
NO MATTER WHAT THE POLICE
REPORT SAYS THERE WERE FIVE
VICTIMS CREATED WHEN MY BROTHER
WAS KILLED. MY FAMILY SUFFERED
AND THERE ARE TOO MANY FAMILIES
LIKE OURS. OUT HERE DEALING
WITH THE SAME TRAGEDY. WE'RE
THANKFUL FOR THIS BILL AND
BEING A PART OF PUSHING THIS
CHANGE FOR ALL OF THE SURVIVORS
WHOSE FOR. WHOSE DESERVE HELP.
IT IS TIME TO CALIFORNIA STANDS
BEHIND ALL SURVIVORS
SPECIFICALLY FAMILIES AFFECTED
BY POLICE VIOLENCE. I ASKED THE
ALL VOTE YES ON THIS BILL THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SENATOR LABOR FOR THE
INTRODUCTION. I'M HERE TODAY IN
SUPPORT OF SB TWO NINE NINE
WHICH WOULD MAKE VICTIMS
COMPENSATION FOR FAMILIES
AFFECTED BY POLICE VIOLENCE
ATTAINABLE I'M ACTUALLY
MONTERROSA THE YOUNGER
SURVIVING SISTER MY BROTHER
SEAN MONTERROSA WHAT OUR FAMILY
HAS BEEN PUT THROUGH BY VALLEJO
POLICE DEPARTMENT WILL TAKE
MORE OF THE TOP MORE TIME THAN
I HAVE YOUR TODAY BUT I WANT TO
EMPHASIZE THE WAY IT%
ILLUSTRATES THE NEED FOR SB TWO
NINE NINE. LOSING SOMEONE YOU
LOVE TO VIOLENCE IS AN
UNIMAGINABLE PAINT THAT RIPPLES
THROUGH EVERY PART OF YOUR LIFE
WHEN THAT LOSS COMES AT THE
HANDS OF SOMEONE TASKED WITH
KEEPING YUR COMMUNITY SAFE AT
THE HANDS OF A POLICE OFFICER
IT'S ALSO STIGMATIZING AND
DESTABILIZING. INSTEAD THERE IS
NOW IN SEAN'S PACE AN ACHING
VOID OF GRIEF AND ANGER TO ITS
CREDIT CALIFORNIA OFFERS SERVER
SERVICES TO VICTIMS OF MANY
KINDS OF CRIME AND VIOLENCE BUT
OUR FAMILY BECAUSE SHAUN'S
KILLER HOW TO BATCH QUALIFIES
FOR NONE OF THAT. ON JUNE
SECOND OF TWENTY TWENTY SEAN
WAS KNEELING WITH HIS HANDS UP
WHEN OFFICER JR AT TIMES OF THE
VALLEJO POLICE DEPARTMENT SHOT
THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD OF AN
UNMARKED PICKUP TRUCK WITH A R.
FIFTEEN. I JUST SO HAPPEN TO
TURN TWENTY THE DAY AFTER.
SINCE THE MOMENT TO SEAN'S LIFE
WAS TAKEN. WE'VE HAD NO CHOICE
BUT TO SPRING INTO ACTION. AND
CALL FOR JUSTICE. MY SISTER
MICHELLE AND I FOR THE PAST
YEAR HAVE CONTINUOUSLY HOW TO
PUT OUR BODIES ON THE LINE WE
QUIT OUR JOBS WE PUT SCHOOL ON
HOLD AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT
TO PRINT GRIEF PUBLICLY. JOHN
WAS ALSO PROVIDER IN OUR FAMILY
NOW OUR PARENTS SPEND THEIR
DAYS WORKING TWELVE TO FOURTEEN
HOUR SHIFTS SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
EVEN THROUGH THEIR GRIEF JUST
TO STAY AFLOAT. I SAY THIS TO
SHED LIGHT ON HOW FOR IMPACTED
FAMILIES WILL GO FOR THEIR
LOVED ONES. ALL OF THAT WHILE
NOT HAVING ANY TYPE OF ACCESS
TO FAMILY THERAPY. GRIEF
COUNSELING OR ANY TYPE OF
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES. THIS
IN NO WAY IS AN ISOLATED CASE.
THERE ARE MANY OTHER FAMILIES
AND NOT JUST IN THE LAB BUT ALL
ACROSS OF CALIFORNIA. WHO HAVE
SO SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT THE
WAYS THAT POLICE MURDERED OUR
LOVED ONES THEN LEAVE THE
FAMILIES WITH NO RESOURCES TO
COVER SPECIFIC EXPENSES SUCH AS
MEDICAL BILLS. FUNERAL AND
BURIAL EXPENSES. AND COUNSELING
MY HOPE IS THAT YOU ALL BEGIN
TO CENTER THE VOICES OF MANY
IMPACTED FAMILIES LIKE OURS AND
REALIZE THE URGENCY. TO GIVE
FAMILIES ACCESS OF EVERYTHING
SB TWO NINE NINE PROVIDES THANK
YOU GOD BLESS YOU ALL. THANK
YOU AND OUR SYMPATHIES- AT&T

YEARS AGO. AND NOW DEVICES ARE

GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS- THIS RYAN SHERMAN WITH

ASSOCIATION AND THE POLICE
OFFICERS ASSOCIATIONS. OF
ARCADIA BURBANK CLAREMONT
CULVER CITY CORONA. INGLEWOOD
NEWPORT BEACH PALACE VERDES
POMONA RIVERSIDE SANTA ANA
UPLAND AND LOS ANGELES SCHOOL
POLICE ASSOCIATION. ALL
CURRENTLY HAVE IN OPPOSE
POSITION ON S. B. TWO NINE NINE.
PERSONS WHO DUE TO THEIR OWN
MISCONDUCT ELICIT THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE SHOULD NOT
BE PROVIDED TAXPAYER FUNDS- AS
A RESULT OF ANY INJURY THAT
SHOULD OCCUR- THESE PERSONS ARE
NOT CRIME VICTIMS. WHICH IS THE
PURPOSE OF THE VICTIMS
COMPENSATION- FORD. WE BELIEVE
THAT- TAXPAYERS SHOULD NOT HAVE
TO BEAR THE SPRINT AND BY
ALLOWING NON- CRIME VICTIMS TO
ACCESS THESE FUNDS. WE BELIEVE
IT'S WHOLLY INAPPROPRIATE AND
BUT AGAIN THE TAXPAYER SHOULD
NOT HEAR THIS IT ALSO- WE
BELIEVE MAKES LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS SOMEHOW APPEAR. THAT
THEY'VE INVOLVED- THEY'VE BEEN
INVOLVED IN SOME KIND OF
MISCONDUCT- BASED ON JUST DOING
THEIR JOB AND IF AN INJURY
OCCURS AND- OFFICER HAS
COMMITTED A CRIME IN DOING THAT
THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY BE
PROSECUTED. AND ALSO THEN THE
PERSON WHO- IS THE RECIPIENT OF
THE POTENTIALLY EXCESSIVE FORCE
THEN THEY WOULD BE A CRIME
VICTIM AND ENTITLED TO
COMPENSATION. SO FOR THESE
REASONS- WE REGRETFULLY MUST-

THANK YOU- MISTER- THEY SHARE-
I JUST WANTED TO THANK THE
WITNESSES FOR HER VERY
COMPELLING TESTIMONY- AND
SHARING HER STORY IT'S GREATLY
APPRECIATED WHEN WE CAN HEAR
THAT SO THANK YOU FOR SHARING
YOUR STORY I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR- AUTHORING THIS BILL
AND WOULD LOVE TO BE ADDED AS A
CO AUTHOR AND WOULD LIKE TO
MOVE THE BILL ALREADY DID THAT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I THINK
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT- BUILT
IMPORTANT MEASURE- AND I REALLY
HOPE IT GETS OUT OF THIS
COMMITTEE AND WALDRON CAN CAN
HELP ON THE FLOOR OF THE
SOMEPLACE WELL. ASSEMBLY WOMAN
WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON THE
EDGE. POLICE NOW. I THINK SHE-
OKAY. YEAH MEASURE ANSWER I'M
FOR AFTER OFFERED IF OPINIONS
THIS- I HAVE I HAVE BECOME-
ABOUT MOVING THIS THEM THE TRUE
OF AND THAT COMPENSATION THAT'S
ALREADY UNDER FUNDED. AND THEN
ADDING TAXPAYER DOLLARS AND
THEN OPENING THE DOOR- TO A
GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT SOMEHOW
GOT THEMSELVES INTO A CONFLICT
WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT- IT
THERE'S AN INCENTIVE NOW. GIVEN
THIS OPENING UP THAT DOOR. I TO
RESIST- BE INJURED AND THEN
CLAIM VICTIMHOOD- OVER BEING- I
OVER THE CONSEQUENCES OF
ESSENTIALLY- WHAT IT WAS WAS
THEIR BEHAVIOR. AND IN IN THIS
BILL- YOU KNOW I SEE A COUPLE
OF THE ATM OF ISSUES RELATED TO
THAT BUT- YOU KNOW I ALSO SEE-
AND I WOULD QUESTION MAYBE YOU
CAN ANSWER THIS- IF A PERSON IS
OUT. SHOOTING AT PEOPLE BUT
DOESN'T REALLY HIT ANYBODY BUT
DAN IS- SO DUDE BY THE POLICE
ARRIVING POLICE OFFICERS SO
THEY MAY NOT HIT ANYBODY. WELL
THEY DIDN'T CAUSE ANY INJURY.
AND THEREFORE ARE THEY ELIGIBLE
FOR THIS THIS VICTIM
COMPENSATION FUND. AFTER THEY
WERE STOPPED FROM. AFTER FUTURE
INYO INJURING SOMETHING IN THE
FUTURE. THE SHORT ANSWER IS NOW.
SO. IN THE IN THE LANGUAGE. IT
SAYS THAT. IF A PERSON IS
ACCUSED OF HURTING OR KILLING
SOMEONE THE BOARD INSTEAD
CHANGE SHALL NOT COMPENSATE
THEM IT SAYS MAY DENIED
COMPENSATION ACTUALLY THAT
ACTUAL LANGUAGE LARGEST WITH
SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE IT'S VERY
CLEAR SO DOES NOT SAY MAY DENY
THAT IS CORRECT OKAY DID THAT
GET CHANGED YES. OKAY ARGUES
THAT THAT ALSO OPENS THE DOOR.
IF I MAY RESPOND YES I THINK
SOME OF THE CONFUSION FOR SOME
FOLKS ON THIS BILL IS WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT INCENTIVIZING FOLKS
IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS A POT OF
MONEY AND IF I CLAIM THAT- THE
POLICE SHOT ME OR THE POLICE
BOBBY- BEAT ME UP OKAY NOW
COUNTY LABOR GETS YOU KNOW
200-004-0000 DOLLARS. NUMBER
ONE CAL BCB IS A PAYER OF LAST
RESORT AND NUMBER TWO IT'S JUST
ABOUT REIMBURSEMENT SO IT'S IF
YOU HAD RECEIVED COUNSELING
SERVICES BECAUSE YOU WERE
TRAUMATIZED BUT BY THE WAY YOU
WERE TREATED IF YOU HAD TO
RECEIVE- ANY HOT AT THIRTY
HOSPITAL BILLS THEY WERE NOT
PAID BECAUSE YOU WERE HARMED BY
THE POLICE THEY WOULD BE
REIMBURSED AND IF GOD FORBID.
YOUR FAMILY MEMBER IS KILLED BY
POLICE THE FAMILY MEMBER COULD
THEN BE ELIGIBLE TO BE
REIMBURSED FOR BURIAL EXPENSES
SO I THINK THAT'S A VERY BIG
DISTINCTION BETWEEN YOU KNOW
PEOPLE THINKING THAT THEY'RE
GONNA BE INCENTIVIZED TO CLAIM
VICTIMHOOD BECAUSE THEY'RE
GOING TO SOMEHOW GET SOME SORT
OF MONEY THIS IS ABOUT
REIMBURSING PEOPLE FOR TRAUMA
THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INCURRED BY
THE POLICE BUT ADDED THAT
TRAUMA IS ALSO. YOU HAVE TO
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW IT GOT
THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE
SOMETIMES YES SOMETIMES NO TIME
AND THIS IS NOT ABOUT EVERY
PERSON ASSEMBLY MEMBER SAYING
THAT EVERY PERSON WHO COMMITS A
CRIME SHOULD BE HAVE ACCESS TO
CAL B. C. B. I MEAN ANYONE
WATCHING THE NEWS OVER THE LAST
HOW MANY YEARS COUPLE YEARS.
HAS SEEN THAT THE PLEASE DO NOT
ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING BY
FOLKS AND THE SO THIS IS JUST A
LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE TRUE
VICTIMS TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION
BE REIMBURSED FOR TRAGEDY OR-
TRAUMA THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED
TIME AND IF THEY'RE NOT IF THEY
DO THEY ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THE
COURTS WHICH WILL ALLOW THEM
MUCH BIGGER COMPENSATION IN
THIS WOULD ALLOW AND IF THEY
DID GO TO COURT AND THEY WERE
GIVEN THE COMPENSATION. THEY
HAVE TO PAY BACK CALLUM CB. AT
THE END OF LEASE IN MY STE.
CALABRESE IS. BEFORE THIS BILL
IN BECAUSE EFFECTIVE OTHERS CAN
GOES GOVERNOR'S. CALVI C. B.
FUNDING THIRTY THREE MILLION
DOLLARS. IN TAXPAYER DOLLARS
YES BUT IT'S BEEN THERE BEFORE
BUT IT'S BEEN THERE BEFORE MR
ASSEMBLY MEMBER THIS BILL. NOT
CREATE CALVI CB UNDERSTOOD
THANK YOU THANK YOU THERE'S
JUST I THINK IT WAS FUNDED A
DIFFERENT WAY BEFORE. IT WAS
FUNDED BY. YEAH THERE IS A
DIFFERENCE THERE WAS YES YES
OKAY THANK YOU ASSEMBLY OF CORK-
YES SO. THERE'S SOME JUST I
DON'T KNOW THAT THIS WILL
CONVINCE MR SAY ARE TRANSPORTED
PROBABLY WON'T BUT IN
PARTICULAR THE BILL ALLOWS AN
EXCLUSION BASED ON WHETHER THE
VICTIM COULD HAVE FORESEEN THAT
ILLEGAL CONTACT WOULD HAVE
RESULTED IN INJURY SO IF YOU
HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN HOUSE
SALSA POLICE OFFICER- MY GUESS
IS THAT THEY WOULD DECIDE THAT
WHATEVER THE POLICE OFFICER DID
IN THAT CASE. WHAT'S TO BE
EXPECTED SO YOU KNOW IT DOES
HAVE THAT EXCLUSION AND IT. SO
I THINK THAT WHAT THESENATORS
TRYING TO DO IS TO TAKE CARE OF
PEOPLE WHO- FRANKLY HAVE BEEN
ABUSED BY POLICE I THINK THAT'S
THE- THE INTENT AND I BELIEVE
THE WAY THIS IS WRITTEN THAT'S
THE WAY THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
THANK YOU. MISS BURKE A HAND
THANK YOU MR VICE CHAIR- I JUST
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
HER WORK TO THE POINT AND THAT
MISTER CLARK JUST MADE THIS IS
THAT HAVE NARROWLY CRAFTED BILL
AND WE KNOW THAT GEORGE FLOOD
WAS A VICTIM. AND HE'S NOT THE
ONLY ONE. AND SO WE KNOW THAT
CALIFORNIANS AND PEOPLE ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY CAN BE THE VICTIMS
EVEN IF IT IS AT THE HANDS OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT. ND SO TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND TO GIVE
THEM ACCESS TO THESE FUNDS IF
THEY ARE THE VICTIMS IS THE
RIGHT THING TO DO. SO I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR THAT AND I WANT
TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AND I JUST
WANT TO SAY THAT. YOU WORKED
HARD TO ENSURE THAT IT IS THE
VICTIMS THAT ARE GETTING THESE
FUNDS AND I APPRECIATE THAT AND
I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT TODAY.
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY WOMAN. OKAY
IS THERE ANY OTHER COMMENTS
FROM. MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
SEEING NONE- LET ME JUST
CLARIFY THAT YOU'RE ACCEPTING
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE PROPOSED
TO YOU YES I DO YOU MAY CLOSE
MATCH. MEMBERS I WOULD JUST
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE AS I STATED EARLIER THIS
IS NOT A POT OF MONEY FOR
PEOPLE TO RECEIVE THAT AS MR
FALCO DESCRIBED THAT'S WHAT THE
COURTS ARE FOR THAT IS IN CIVIL
PENALTIES COULD BE THE CASE
THIS IS ABOUT REIMBURSING
VICTIMS. FOR SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENED TO THEM AND IT'S
REIMBURSING HOSPITAL BILLS
COUNSELING BILLS OR GOD FORBID
IF YOUR LOVED ONE WAS KILLED BY
POLICE YOU CAN GET THE FUNERAL
COSTS REIMBURSED MEMBERS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR- VOTE.
OKAY THANK YOU I DO THINK THE
CHAIRS RECOMMENDED. AS SUPPORT
AS AMENDED. AND WITH THAT WILL
CALL FOR THE QUESTION. THE
BILL'S IMPROPERLY MOVED AND
SECONDED ON SB TWO NINETY NINE
BY SENATOR LEAVE THAT THE
MOTION IS TO PASS AS AMENDED TO
THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE

YOU MEMBERS THANK YOU CENTER.
CENTER RUBIO. SB. FIVE THIRTY
EIGHT. THANK YOU. MAY I BEGIN
I'M SORRY YES YOU MAY BEGIN
THANK YOU AT TEARS MEMBER THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT TODAY SB
FIVE THIRTY EIGHT WHICH IS A
CRITICAL MEASURE FOR DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE SURVIVORS SEEKING
PROTECTION FROM THEIR ABUSERS.
THANK YOU SENATE BILL FIVE
THIRTY WILL THAT JUST SIMPLY
VICTIMS TO FILE ELECTRONICALLY.
AND ALSO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
TESTIMONY REMOTELY- I WOULD
LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INVITE
ONE OF MY- SPEAKERS WHO'S HERE
WITH US TODAY TO JUST REALLY
BRIEFLY TELL HER TESTIMONY- AND
THAT IS I HAVE ON THE LINE
DIANNE DOROTHY BUT HERE IN
PERSON I HAVE RAINY. FROM AREAS
WHO WILL SPEAK ABOUT HER
EXPERIENCES. SHOW ME THANK YOU
YES YOU MAY PROCEED. MY NAME IS
RENEE WERE MERITS MY IT CAN
HERE OKAY I'M SORRY- COULD YOU
ADJUST THE MICROPHONE SO IT'S
NEAR- YOUR YOUR- THAT BETTER
YEAH THAT'S MUCH BETTER- MY
NAME IS RAINER MASS MY FOR
ADULT CHILDREN. AGES TWENTY TO
TWENTY FIVE AND I. ARE
SURVIVORS OF AN OFFICER
INVOLVED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
BIPARTISAN BILLS AND CRY- WE
WERE GRANTED A FIVE YEAR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESTRAINING
ORDER ON JUNE TWENTY SEVENTH I
APOLOGIZE. TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
AND ARE PURSUING OVER NO
RESTRAINING ORDER ON JULY SIXTH
AGAINST THE EX SPOUSE. THE
CHILDREN'S FATHER. SB FIVE
THIRTY EIGHT IS IMPORTANT TO
MYSELF. AND MY CHILDREN BECAUSE
IT WILL ALLOW REMOTE TESTIFYING
FOR OTHERS LIKE US I HAD TO SIT
LESS THAN FOUR FEET AWAY FROM
THE ABUSER WHEN PLEADING FOR MY
RESTRAINING ORDER. ONLY MY
CONFIDENCE FROM THE DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE SHELTER ADVOCATE
SEATED BETWEEN MYSELF AND THE
ABUSER. MY OLDEST SON
TESTIFYING IN FRONT OF THE
ABUSER HIS FATHER THAT DAY.
REMOTEST THE MONEY ALSO MEANS
OF THE ABUSER WILL NOT HAVE
OPPORTUNITY TO PSYCHOLOGICALLY
OR PHYSICALLY INTIMIDATE THE
VICTIM IN PERSON EXAMPLE IN MY
CASE AFTER THE HEARING. THE
ABUSER REPEATEDLY PASSED ME IN
A VEHICLE AT A TIME TO GET MINE
AFTER COURT. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE
ENOUGH HOW ALL ASPECTS OF THIS
BILL WILL HELP OTHER VICTIMS
BECOME SURVIVORS LIKE MYSELF.
ALL ABUSED BECAUSE OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE THEN
PHYSICAL ABUSE LIKE WHAT I
UNDER BEGINS. THE EXPERIENCE OF
COURTS IS TAXI IN ITSELF BUT
THE FIFTY ABUSER IN A COURT
ROOM IN THE WHOLE OF THE
COURTROOM IS SCARY BECAUSE THIS
IS STILL THE TIME OF FLIGHT OR
FIGHT MODE FOR THE VICTIM.
TAKING AWAY THE POLITICAL
INTIMIDATION POWER OF THE
ABUSER WITH REMOTE TESTIMONY
AND ELECTRONIC FILING FOR THE
VICTIMS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. OF HEALING THE
VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
LIKE MYSELF. THANK YOU SENATOR
RUBIO FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY. ON THE IMPORTANCE OF
THIS BILL I WAS SILENT FOR SO
LONG IN A BRIEF EVERY
OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK UP NOW
ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THANK

WHO WORKS WITH SURVIVORS ON A
DAILY BASIS I KNOW FIRST HAND
HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO PROTECT

BY THEIR ABUSERS AS MISS
RAMIREZ JUST STATED. ANY SHOW
THAT THE BEING TIMES ARE OF THE-
VIOLENCE COM WHEN THE VICTIM
DECIDES TO LEAVE THE
RELATIONSHIP AND WHEN SEEKING A

IMMENSE ANGER THEIR ABUSERS AND
PROVIDE THEM WITH OPPORTUNITIES
TO RETALIATE. I TESTIFYING
REMOTELY VICTIMS ARE ABLE TO
TELL THEIR STORY TO THE COURT
WITHOUT FEAR OF PHYSICAL
RETALIATION INTIMIDATION.
THREATS AND COERCION. BY THE
TIME BY THE DEFENDANT AND THE
DEFENDANT FAMILY BEFORE DURING
AND- AFTER THAT COURT HEARING.
AT THE FAMILY DOESN'T MATTER
WE'VE CREATED A SPACE WHERE
CLIENTS CAN SAFELY SPEAK TO THE
COURT IN A CALM ENVIRONMENT
THAT IS FREE OF STRESS AND
INTIMIDATION BY THEIR ABUSER AS
WELL AS THE CONFUSION OF THE
COURTHOUSE. HIS FACE STATE AND
STATE AND FREE FROM THE
TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES. WITH
DRIVE TIME IS RAMIREZ.
CALIFORNIA COURTS HAVE NOW HAD
MONTHS OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
WITH REMOTE TESTIMONY AND IT IS
WORKING WELL. IT'S REMOTE
TESTIMONY IF DISTRICT AND THE
VIOLENCE BY FREEING THEM FROM
THE EVERYDAY FEAR OF THE
COURTHOUSE AND ALSO BENEFITS
THE ORDERLY AND EFFICIENT
CONDUCT OF THE COURTROOM. ON

CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY THE
AUTHOR AND WITNESSES REGARDING
THE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC AND GUN
VIOLENCE WE ARE CONCERNED THAT
THE BILL'S PROVISIONS
AUTHORIZING PARTIES AND
WITNESSES TO APPEAR REMOTELY
AND RESTRAINING ORDER
PROCEEDINGS WILL RESULT IN
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AS THEY
RELATE THE PARTY'S RIGHTS UNDER
THE LAW. UNLESS THE BILL AS
AMENDED TO INCORPORATE
PROTECTIONS AGAINST THOSE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AT THE
ARE YOU CALIFORNIA REPRESENTS
OFFICIAL COURT REPORTERS
EMPLOYED BY THE COURT
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA DURING THE PANDEMIC
PROCEEDINGS WERE CONDUCTED
REMOTELY AND WITNESSES APPEARED
REMOTELY UNDER THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL'S EMERGENCY ORDER
PERMITTING SAME MY COURT
REPORTERS EXPERIENCE ATTEMPTING
TO ENSURE THE SANCTITY OF THE
OFFICIAL VERBATIM RECORD UNDER
THESE CONDITIONS HAS BEEN RIFE
WITH PROBLEMS JUST AS WE ALL
HAVE EXPERIENCED IN COMMITTEE
HEARINGS IN CALLS OR ANY OTHER
TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM UPON
WHICH WE RELY DURING THE
PANDEMIC. THINGS ARE SIMPLY NOT
WORKING HARDIEST WITNESSES
LAWYERS HAVE AT TIMES BEEN
IMPOSSIBLE TO HEAR COURT
REPORTERS HAVE HAD DIFFICULTY
ALERTING JUDGES TO
TECHNOLOGICAL OR AUDIBILITY
CONCERNS DROPPED LINES AN
ERRANT SHOOTINGS HAVE OCCURRED
BACKGROUND NOISE AND SHODDY
TECHNOLOGY A DEGRADED PATH TO
MONEY TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT
HAS SIMPLY BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO
TRANSCRIBE THE OFFICIAL
VERBATIM RECORD SHOULD THE
COURT REPORTER CANNOT
TRANSCRIBE EVERY WORD UTTERED
IN A PROCEEDING THE TRANSCRIPT
PRODUCED IS UNFORTUNATELY
UNVIABLE FOR PURPOSES OF FUTURE
USE. OF THE TRANSCRIPT IS
REQUIRED TO EXERCISE ONE'S
RIGHTS ON APPEAL THE
UNFORTUNATE TRAJECTORY OF
PERMITTING PARTIES AND
WITNESSES TO APPEAR REMOTELY
THAT SUCH PARTY IS MAYBE GIVING
UP THEIR RIGHTS ON APPEAL
WITHOUT. EVEN KNOWING THEY ARE
DOING THAT THIS CAN BE. PROBLEM
WHERE AS HAPPENS OFTEN IN MY
COURT THE BRIDGE. ORDER PARTY
IS NOW A- FOR. BUT INSTEAD IS
THE JOINT PROCEEDING WITH AN
UNDERLYING CRIMINAL PROCEEDING.
THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO
PROTECT AGAINST THAT FIRST
REQUIRE AN OFFICIAL COURT
REPORTER EMPLOYED BY THE COURT
SHOULD BE IN THE COURTROOM.
ALONG WITH THE PRESIDING
OFFICER ANYTIME THERE IS A
REMOTE APPEARANCE. TO REQUIRE A
JUDICIAL ADMONITION FROM THE
PRESIDING OFFICER ADVISING
PARTIES OF THEIR RIGHTS AND THE
POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS TO THOSE
RIGHT. AND THE OFFICIAL
VERBATIM RECORD WHERE A PARTY
OR WITNESS APPEARS REMOTELY AND
FINALLY THREE. A LIMITATION OF
AUTHORIZATION FOR REMOTE
APPEARANCES TO ONLY THOSE
INSTANCES WHERE THE RESTRAINING
ORDER IS A STANDALONE
PROCEEDING. WE ARE HOPEFUL THE
AUTHOR WILL CONSIDER SUCH
AMENDMENTS TO THE MEASURE THANK

AMADOR ADDITIONAL COMMENTS IN
QUEUE AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU
WILL NOW COME TO COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO-
YES. MEMBERS YEAH I WOULD JUST
SUGGEST TO SEIU IN THE COURT
REPORTERS THAT THE WAY TO FIX
THIS. IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE IS GOOD TECHNOLOGY THERE
ARE YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN
ATTENDING TO MISS YOU SO
MEETINGS FOR A YEAR. I HEAR THE
PEOPLE JUST AS WELL ON SOON AS
I WOULD IF THEY WERE IN PERSON.
YOU ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF
RECORDING THE WHOLE THING-
THAT'S JUST. YOU KNOW ONE
OPTION- YOU JUST PRESSED
SOMETHING AND IT RECORDS SO I
JUST DON'T SEE THE TECHNICAL
DIFFICULTY OF A COURT REPORTER
IF THERE IS RELIABLE
TECHNOLOGY. ARE HEARING THIS
AND I THINK THAT THE PROPER
SOLUTION TO THIS WOULD BE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS PROPER
TECHNOLOGY IF THERE'S NOT.
PLEASE CONTACT ME AND I'LL MAKE
SURE I RUN A BILL TO MAKE SURE
OF THAT NEXT YEAR THANK YOU.
AND I SUPPORT YOUR BILL 100%
WE'VE ALREADY MOVED IT AND SO
I'LL BE VOTING NINE. OKAY NOW
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE. WELL
FIRST I JUST WANT UP YOU DON'T
KNOWLEDGE THE COMMENTS OF A CA
YOU- I DON'T WANT TO DISMISS
SOME ANTI WILL CONTINUE TO TAKE
YOUR THEIR CONCERNS BUT- AS
STATED THAT WE ALREADY HAVE A
LOT OF COUNTIES WHO'VE ALREADY
GONE REMOTELY BECAUSE OF THE
PANDEMIC AND- AS ALL OF US
ZOOMING THROUGHOUT. THE YEAR
WE'VE LEARNED HOW TO GET BETTER
AT IT BUT THE GOAL IS TO MAKE
IT JUST EASIER FOR VICTIMS TO
COME OUT OF THE SHADOWS AND
FEEL CONFIDENT THAT THEY CAN-SPEAK UP IN FRONT OF THEIR
ABUSER. BUT I WANT TO MAKE TWO
POINTS CLEAR NUMBER ONE THIS
DOES NOT ALTER DUE PROCESS AND
ANYWAY THIS IS JUST ABOUT
CREATING ACCESS AND NUMBER TWO-
AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS YOU KNOW
EVERY DAY FOR A VICTIM TO BE IN
FRONT OTHER ABUSERS MAY BE
THEIR LAST SO THIS IS CRITICAL.
SPEAKING WITH THAT RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR RIVAL THANK YOU. WELL I
CLEARLY IN APPRECIATIVE OF
THIS. MEASURES I'M A CO AUTHOR.
AND I BELIEVE THAT THE CHAIR IS
ALSO RECOMMENDING AN AYE VOTE
WITHOUT WILL GO AND TO CALL FOR
THE QUESTION. AN SB FIVE THREE
EIGHT BY SENATOR RUBIO THE
MOTION IS TO PASS TO THE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE JONES
SAWYER. LACKEY LACKEY I BARAKAT
BARAKAT HAD HI LEE. LEE I CORK
BY CORK I SANTIAGO. C. R. TWO
C. R. TWO I WICKS.
CONGRADULATIONS THAT MEASURE
PASSES KATHY. I THINK WE'RE
JUST WAITING FOR SKINNER AND
STERN IPHONE. WE ALSO GOT
LEADERS HE WOULD SHOW UP AND.
YEAH YEAH YEAH. YOU KNOW I
DON'T. SO SHOULD WE CALL STERN.
BURKE YEAH- THE PROPOSAL.
NUMBER FOUR SECURITIES WITH
SOME REQUEST THE WHOLE. THREE
ONE. SO WE WEREN'T REALLY SURE
YEAH. THE FIRM.
YEAH.
THREE
WELL.
THIS DEGREE OF.
I'M
MEMBERS- FIRST WANT TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE AND COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR WORKING WITH US AND I
JUST WANNA SAY I FOUND THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS EXTREMELY
THOROUGH AND INFORMATIVE
PARTICULARLY IN TALKING ABOUT
THE SCIENTIFIC- FOR- FOR THE
MENTAL HEALTH AND ADDICTION
BENEFITS OF PSYCHEDELICS AND SO
I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THEIR
ANALYSIS AND WE ARE- HAPPY TO
ACCEPT THE- PROPOSED AMENDMENT
IN ANALYSIS- REMOVING CADMIUM-
FROM THE BILL CAN I MEAN
THERE'S HUGE BENEFITS IN TERMS
OF TREATING SEVERE DEPRESSION-
BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE
ARE CONCERNS ABOUT IT IN
ADDITION TO CAN BE PRESCRIBED-
BY A PHYSICIAN SO WERE WILL BE
MOVING OUT FROM THE BILL- IN
ACCORDANCE WITH- OUR
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COMMITTEE.
AND THEN THERE ARE SOME OTHER
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS ARE HAPPY
TO ACCEPT- AS WELL I
COLLEAGUES- SB FIVE NINETEEN
WILL DECRIMINALIZE THE
POSSESSION- AND PERSONAL USE
OF- PSILOCYBIN PSILOCIN AND DNA
LSD DMT MESCALINE AIBO GAMES
ARE ONLY. FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE.
ONLY FOR WHO ARE TWENTY. AND
OLDER THE BILL IS NO
APPLICATION TO ANYONE UNDER THE
AGE OF TWENTY ONE. AND WE MODEL
THAT STRUCTURE OVER THE
APPROACH. TO CANNABIS. SO WHAT
DO YOU MEAN BY THE CRIMINALIZES
BEEN SOME QUESTIONS AND PEOPLE
SOMETIMES HEAR THE WORD. AND
THEY DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT
MEANS. WHEN WE SAY THEY
CRIMINALIZE WHAT WE MEAN IS
THAT UNDER SB FIVE NINETEEN. WE
WILL NO LONGER ARREST PEOPLE
AND INCARCERATE THEM. FOR THE
SIMPLE PERSONAL POSSESSION. OF
PSYCHEDELICS FOR PERSONAL. OR
SHARED USE SO THAT'S REALLY THE
QUESTION HERE- DO WE BELIEVE.
THAT WE SHOULD BE ARRESTING
SOMEONE. BECAUSE THEY POSSESS
PSYCHEDELICS. FOR PERSONAL USE.
I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD FRANKLY
I THINK MOST PEOPLE DON'T THINK
WE SHOULD BE DOING THAT. THE
BILL DOES NOT DECRIMINALIZE THE
SALE OF PSYCHEDELICS THAT WILL
CONTINUE. TO BE A CRIME. TO
PROMOTE SAFER USE THE BILL ALSO
DECRIMINALIZE IS DRUG TESTING
KITS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN
ACTUALLY TEST SWAB ANTESTOR
PSYCHEDELICS TO CONFIRM THAT
THEY ARE NOT CONTAMINATED THAT
IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE
PROMOTING FOR ALL DRUG USE
PARTICULARLY WITH A FENCE IN A
LOCKED THEM BACK. IN TERMS OF
MATH AD HER WHEN THAT'S BEING
LACED BUT HERE WHERE
SPECIFICALLY THE CRIMINALIZING
OF FOR PSYCHEDELICS. SB FIVE
NINETEEN ALSO CONVENES AN
EXPERT WORKING GROUP. UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO
DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS
REGARDING POTENTIAL FUTURE
STRATEGIES. AROUND SAFE USE
THAT CETERA OF PSYCHEDELICS.
SINCE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
MISINFORMATION ABOUT THIS BILL
AND I SUSPECT YOU WILL HEAR
SOME OF THAT IN THE PUBLIC
COMMENT TODAY FRANKLY SOME
OUTRAGEOUS MISREPRESENTATIONS
AROUND THE BILL. JUST TO
CLARIFY THE BILL DOES NOT
DECRIMINALIZE THE SALE OF
PSYCHEDELICS. IT DOES NOT
DECRIMINALIZE. IN ANYWAY GIVING
OR SHARING OR OTHERWISE
PROVIDING PSYCHEDELICS TO
ANYONE UNDER TWENTY ONE. ALL
THAT WILL REMAIN ILLEGAL. WHAT
SB FIVE NINETEEN DIES IS ENSURE
THAT PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS WITHOUT
BEING A CRIMINAL. TO SUBSTANCES
THAT ARE LITERALLY FIXING
PEOPLE'S BRAINS. LITERALLY
ENDING MENTAL HEALTH AND
ADDICTION DIAGNOSES NOT ONLY
IMPROVING CONDITIONS BUT
ACCORDING THIS RECENT
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES FOR EXAMPLE
AROUND MDMA. MAKING IT TO THE
PEOPLE WITH PTSD NO LONGER HAVE
A PTSD DIAGNOSIS. BUT SOMEONE
ADDICTED TO HEROIN IS NO LONGER
ADDICTED TO HER OR NOT JUST
IMPROVING. DOT TO BUT SITUATION
WHERE PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE
LITERALLY TRANSFORMS BECAUSE OF
THESE SUBSTANCES. FOR FAR TOO
LONG THE ONLY REGULATIONS THAT
WE KIND OF THESE SUBSTANCES IS
THE SAY IF YOU POSSESS AND USE
THAT YOU'RE A CRIMINAL AND YOU
MIGHT GET ARRESTED AND PUT IN
PRISON. RATHER THAN PROPERLY
EVEN TRYING TO DIFFERENTIATE
BETWEEN DIFFERENT DRUG
SUBSTANCES. WE JUST TREAT
EVERYTHING AS SOMEHOW MORALLY.
IN GENERAL HAS BEEN A FAILURE
WE WERE TRYING TO ARREST OUR
WAY OUT OF DRUG USE AND
ADDICTION FOR FIFTY YEARS AND
IT HASN'T IMPROVED ANYTHING
WHATSOEVER PEOPLE ARE STILL
USING- PEOPLE ARE STILL GETTING
ADDICTED NOT TO PSYCHEDELICS
BECAUSE THESE ARE GENERALLY NOT
ADDICTIVE BUT OTHER DRUGS. AND
ALL WE'VE DONE IS FILL UP OUR
PRISON WITH DRUG CRIMES AND
WE'RE NOT SAFER AND WE JUST
SPENT A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY- THE
FAILED WAR ON DRUGS. HAS BEEN A
HUGE BURDEN ON TAX REVENUES
TORN COMMUNITIES APART IT HAS
DRAMATICALLY HARM BLACK AND
BROWN COMMUNITIES AND HAS DONE
NOTHING TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY
SAFER. OR TO MAKE PEOPLE SAFER
IF THEY'RE USING DRUGS IN FACT
IT'S MADE US LESS SAFE BECAUSE
PEOPLE USE IN THE SHADOWS THEY
KNOW THAT THEY'RE COMMITTING A
CRIME AND SO THEY DON'T GET
INFORMATION. AND EDUCATION.
THAT COULD LET THEM BE SAFER.
IT'S TIME THAT WE STOP OUR
FAILED POLICY OF MASS
INCARCERATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE.
THAT NOT EVERY SUBSTANCE IS
HARMFUL. JUST BECAUSE- A
HUNDRED OR FIFTY YEARS AGO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECLARED
THAT A PARTICULAR SUBSTANCE. IS
SOMEHOW BAD AND THUS ILLEGAL.
THE SUBSTANCES IN THIS BILL
HAVE BEEN FOUND NOT JUST BY
POLITICIANS OR ADVOCATES BY
SCIENTISTS BY SCIENTIFIC
STUDIES INCLUDING AND IN NEW
ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE
STUDIES AFFILIATED WITH THE FTA.
BUT A MYRIAD OF MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES INCLUDING ANXIETY
ADDICTION DEPRESSION INSOMNIA
EATING DISORDERS PTSD SMOKING.
CAN BE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES
WITH PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY.
VETERANS AND MANY OF YOU ARE
PROBABLY I HOPE MATTER HEARD
FROM OUR VETERANS ARE
SPONSORING ORGANIZATIONS OR TO
ORGANIZATIONS OF COMBAT
VETERANS WHO WORK WITH VETERANS
WHO HAVE GONE TO WAR FOR OUR
COUNTRY AND BEEN HARMED AS A
RESULT AND COME BACK WITH PTSD
WITH SEVERE DEPRESSION WITH
OTHER. DISORDERS AND YOU
TREATMENT TRADITIONAL TREATMENT
HASN'T WORKED. AND PSYCHEDELIC
THERAPY HAS ALLOWED THEM TO GET
THEIR LIVES BACK AND YET WE
FORCED THEM TO GO TO PERU OR
MEXICO OR TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
TO GET THIS TREATMENT AFTER
THEY FOUGHT FOR OUR COUNTRY
BECAUSE WE MADE IT ILLEGAL HERE.
EIGHTEEN VETERANS COMMIT
SUICIDE EVERY SINGLE DAY IN
THIS COUNTRY EIGHTEEN EVERYDAY
COMMENSURATE SIDE. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP THEM AMONG
OTHER NOT JUST VETERANS AMONG
OTHERS. ACTUALLY TURN THEIR
LIVES AROUND. THESE IMPACTS
HAVE BEEN FOUND BOTH IN A
CLINICAL SETTING. IT ALSO IN
NON CLINICAL SETTINGS AND IT'S
TIME WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE
BENEFITS OF THESE SUBSTANCES
EVEN OUTSIDE OF A CLINICAL
SETTING. I WANT TO BE CLEAR I
SAID THIS EARLIER THAT
PSYCHEDELICS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY
NOT A DETECTIVE. AND PEOPLE CAN
USE THEM SAFELY. BUT IT'S
HARDER TO USE THEM SAFELY IF
PEOPLE ARE CRIMINALIZED FOR
DOING SO. BECAUSE YOU MAY HAVE
SEEN THAT LAST NOVEMBER OREGON
VOTERS. VOTED TO DECRIMINALIZE
NOT TO PSYCHEDELICS BUT
POSSESSION OF ALL DRUGS. EVERY
SINGLE ONE OF THEM. THE MAIN
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
BECAUSE SOMETIMES WE THINK WE
HAVE TO GO TO THE VOTERS FOR
THESE THINGS THE MAIN HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES JUST VOTED TO
DECRIMINALIZE THE POSSESSION OF
ALL DRUGS A WEEK OR TWO AGO.
WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING EVEN
THOUGH I SUPPORT THOSE EFFORTS
AND I HOPE CALIFORNIA GETS
THERE IN THIS BILL WE'RE
PROPOSING A MUCH NARROWER
SUBSET. OF THOSE STOPS. WE KNOW
THE PORTUGAL DECRIMINALIZED
POSSESSION. AND WHAT TYPE THERE
ARE ALL SORTS OF GLOOM AND DOOM
PREDICTIONS ABOUT WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN IN PORTUGAL. WHAT
HAPPENED IN PORTUGAL. OVERDOSE
DEATHS. WENT DOWN HIV
INFECTIONS WENT DOWN
SIGNIFICANTLY. BECAUSE THEY
STARTED TO TREAT DRUGS AS WHAT
IT IS IT'S A HEALTH ISSUE NOT A
CRIMINAL ISSUE. I KNOW THAT
THERE IS A LOT OF FEAR THAT
COULD SPREAD ABOUT
PSYCHEDELICS. PEOPLE YOU KNOW
GO BACK TO THE NINETEEN SIXTIES
IT'S LIKE THE PSYCHEDELIC
EQUIVALENT OF REEFER MADNESS
THAT THIS IS GONNA LIKE DO ALL
SORTS OF HORRIBLE THINGS. AND
THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE ANY
SUBSTANCE CAN BE MISUSED. I
COULD GO HOME TONIGHT AND TAKE
TOO MANY SLEEPING PILLS. AND
HARM MYSELF YOU COULD TAKE TOO
MUCH COUGH SYRUP. AND HARM
YOURSELF YOU TAKE TOO MANY
TYLENOL AND HARMS OF ANY
SUBSTANCE IN THE WORLD CAN BE
MISUSED AND THAT'S WHY I WANT
TO GET PEOPLE HELPING EDUCATION
INSTEAD OF ARRESTING THEM. BUT
WE NEED TO BE CLEAR THAT
PROHIBITION DOESN'T WORK IT
DIDN'T WORK WITH ALCOHOL HASN'T
WORKED IN THE WAR ON DRUGS AND
SPECIFICALLY IT DOESN'T WORK
WITH PSYCHEDELICS SO COLLEAGUES
I ASKED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DO TO MOVE THIS BILL FORWARD-
TAKE A HEALTH BASED BASED
APPROACH TO THIS IMPORTANT
ISSUE- WITH ME TODAY TESTIFIED.
HARD ADJUSTING RULED WHO IS THE
PRESIDENT AND FOUNDER OF THE
HERO CARTS PROJECT- A COMBAT
VETERANS ORGANIZATION AND A CO
SPONSOR OF SB FIVE NINETEEN.
AND DR ROBERT GRANT A PROFESSOR
OF MEDICINE AT UC US OFF. THANK
YOU. YES SIR YOU MAY PROCEED AT
THE MIKE. THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON MY NAME IS JESSE GOLD
AND I'M THE FOUNDER PRO CARDS
PROJECT WHICH IS CO SPONSOR
CALIFORNIA BILL SB FIVE ONE
NINE. I COULD NEVER IMAGINE
BEING IN THIS POSITION TODAY
ADVOCATING FOR PSYCHEDELIC
MEDICINE BUT I'VE ALWAYS
FOLLOWED MY HEART AND INTUITION
THAT HAS CONSISTENTLY LED ME ON
A LIFE OF SERVICE. BEFORE THE
MILITARY I WAS IN FINANCE ON
WALL STREET BUT I DECIDED TO
ENLIST IN THE ARMY TO GIVE BACK
AND SERVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY. I
FOUND COMMUNITY IN PURPOSE AS
AN AIRBORNE RANGER AND I
DEVELOPED AS A LEADER AS A
NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICER OVER
THREE COMBAT DEPLOYMENTS. I
MADE A PLEDGE TO LEAVE NO
SOLDIER BEHIND. THE FIRST FOUND
PSYCHEDELIC MEDICINES OUT OF
NECESSITY. HAVING TRIED ALL
THAT WAS OFFERED TO ME BY
MILITARY MEDICINE I WAS BARELY
HOLDING ON. I TURNED TO
PSYCHEDELICS AS A LAST DITCH
EFFORT TO SURVIVE. AND
FORTUNATELY IT WORKED AMAZINGLY
WELL- CARDS PROJECT WAS CREATED
EDUCATE AND CONNECT MY FELLOW
VETERANS TO THESE EFFECTIVE
OPTIONS. THIS WAS NEARLY FOUR
AND A HALF YEARS AGO AND SINCE
THEN I'VE BEEN ON THE FRONT
LINES OF THE VETERAN SUICIDE
EPIDEMIC THAT SENATOR WIENER
RECENTLY MENTIONED. NEARLY
EVERY DAY MY TEAM RECEIVES
MESSAGES FROM VETERANS WHO HAVE
FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS OF
THE SYSTEM OR FROM THEIR
FAMILIES WHO ARE EXHAUSTED AND
DESPERATE BECAUSE OF THE LACK
OF OPTIONS. IT IS HARD TO PUT
INTO WORDS HOW MUCH THIS CRISIS
HAS DECIMATED THE MILITARY
COMMUNITY MY COMMUNITY. THE
WEIGHT OF IT ALL HAS FALLEN ON
INDIVIDUALS AND PRIVATE
ORGANIZATIONS MANY OF WHICH ARE
AT A BREAKING POINT. JUST LAST
MONTH ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE. A
VETERAN TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. HE
WAS DOING HIS BEST TO SAVE
OTHERS BUT IT CAME AT THE
EXPENSE OF HIS OWN MENTAL
HEALTH. VETERANS SHOULD NOT
HAVE TO FACE THIS ALONE AND IN
THE SHADOWS. BUT THEY ARE DOING
THAT RIGHT NOW. THE CRIMINALITY
IS NOT AFFECTED THEIR ABILITY
TO GO THERE THEY ARE EITHER
HAVING TO GO TO OTHER COUNTRIES
OR FORMING THEIR OWN GROUPS
PURELY TO SAVE THEIR OWN LIVES.
AT THE VETERANS SUPPORT.
PSYCHEDELICS HAVE AND WILL
CONTINUE TO SAY THAT OUR LIVES.
JUST RECENTLY THE DIRECTOR OF
THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF
HEALTH PRETTY PSYCHEDELIC
POTENTIAL AS A THERAPEUTIC
TREATMENT. A SENTIMENT HAS BEEN
ECHOED BY THE FDA AS WELL AS
PROMINENT UNIVERSITIES LIKE
JOHNS HOPKINS. THE VETERANS ARE
DYING TODAY RIGHT NOW. SB FIVE
ONE NINE IS A COMPASSIONATE
STEP FORWARD AND PROVIDES A
MEASURE OF HOPE IN A TIME FRAME
OF MONTHS NOT YEARS TO THOSE
ARE BARELY HOLDING ON RIGHT NOW.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR

CALIFORNIA COALITION AGAINST
DRUGS BY PHONE AND JOHN LOVELL
CALIFORNIA NARCOTICS. I DON'T
SEE MISTER LIU NEAR ME YES WHO
IS THIS. YEAH THIS IS JOHN
LEVEL HI JOHN YOU MAY BEGIN
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY HI HOW
ARE YOU GOOD- YES- BUT FIRST OF
ALL LET ME SET THE RECORD
STRAIGHT ALONG. THE CALIFORNIA
NARCOTIC OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
IS NOT ABOUT INCARCERATING
PEOPLE FOR POSSESSION IN FACT
UNDER CALIFORNIA LAW NOW WITH
PROPOSITION THIRTY SIX WITH A
WHOLE HOST OF DRUG COURT
INTERVENTIONS AND TREATMENT-
THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD PATHWAY
FOR- FOR- POSSESSION. WELL
ISSUES BUT I WANT TO JUST TALK
ABOUT TWO ISSUES VERY QUICKLY-
THE FIRST FEELS WEIRD- LSD-
THE- PROBLEM WITH THE CHALLENGE
WITH LSD. IS THAT IT IS MARRIED
TO FLASHBACKS AND THAT'S A
CONSTANT- KILL YOU ONE QUICK
FAMILY STORY A FAMILY MEMBER OF
MINE- WHEN SHE WAS EIGHTEEN.
WAS GIVEN LSD SURREPTITIOUSLY
SHE WASN'T AWARE OF THAT. AND
SHE WOUND UP BEING HOSPITALIZED
AND RAN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
SHE HAD FLASHBACKS. YEAH BEFORE
THIS BILL WAS HEARD I ACTUALLY
CALLED HER AND I SAID WHEN WAS
YOUR LAST FLASHBACK AND SHE
SAID TO ME JOHN I STILL GET THE
I DON'T GET THEM AS OFTEN BUT I
STILL GET THEM. AND THIS IS IN
FLASHBACKS ARE NOT WELL JUST
ONE FAMILY NARRATION- TODAY I'D
ACTUALLY- GOOGLE- FLASHBACKS
BECAUSE BY L. A. B. AND I GOT
OVER TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
ENTRIES ON THE ON THE INTERNET-
AND- WE BELIEVE IT'S
IRRESPONSIBLE. TO PUT SOMETHING
OUT THERE THAT YOU KNOW TRACK
IS A TRIP PEOPLE CAN HAVE FOR
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. THE
OTHER ISSUE WE'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT USING SOCIAL SHARING. WE
ARE VERY CAREFUL THAT WE ARE
NOT INTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF
THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE TO
INCREASE. OVER THE METALLIC-
OVER IN THE SENATE EARLIER THIS
YEAR THERE WAS A BILL DEALING
WITH. OPIOID OF CALORIES OR FAT
NOW- THE CALORIES THERE WERE
ONE HUNDRED PARENTS WHO CAME TO
TESTIFY ABOUT THEIR CHILDREN
WHO HAD DIED NONE OF THEIR
CHILDREN FOR DRUG USERS THEY
NEEDED A KILL FOR SOMETHING.
AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE WRONG
AND THE PERSON DIED WEEKLY.
PREP SO THE SOCIAL SHE SHARING-
CREATES WE'LL- POTENTIAL FOR-
ON. BUT THINK THAT'S WHAT GONNA.
AND WE'RE ALL VERY CAN. ABOUT
pLSD WHEN THE REALITY IS THAT
LST COLUMNS WITH. FLASHBACKS
AND- FOR THAT REPORT WE ARE WE
ARE OPPOSED TO THE BILL BASED
ON BOTH PROVISIONS- IN THE BILL.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER LEE.
OKAY THANK LEAVING CALIFORNIA
COALITION AGAINST TRUCKS IT
BILL KATAMON MAY BE TAKEN OFF

THANK YOU VERY MUCH THEN WILL.
WE'LL BRING YOU BACK TO
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MISTER SAID
SAID THERE ARE TWO WILL BE
FIRST. AND MISS WITH THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. SO ONE OF MY
QUESTIONS IS IF THE SALE OF THE
SUBSTANCES IS ILLEGAL HOW ARE
THESE PEOPLE GOING TO COME INTO
POSSESSION OF THEM WITHOUT
PARTICIPATING IN AN ILLEGAL
TRANSACTIONS. WHAT IT PEOPLE
WILL OBTAIN- THE SUBSTANCES
FRANK OF THE SAME WAY THAT THEY
DO NOW IT IS BUYING A DRUG. IS
NOT ILLEGAL IT'S THE POSSESSION
AND USE AND THE SELLING IS A
SEPARATE CRIME- SO I WANT TO BE
CLEAR THIS IS NOT LIKE A
GLOBAL. CHANGE EVERYTHING ON
SECOND DOCSIS IS ADDRESSING ONE
PIECE THAT THE POSSESSION FOR
PERSONAL USE WILL NO LONGER BE
CRIMINALIZING CALIFORNIA- BUT
PEOPLE SOFT FIND A WAY TO GET
THE DRUG. RIGHT I HAVE A LOT OF
CONCERNS WITH THIS- YOU'RE
FAMILIAR WITH A LOT OF THE
DEPRESSION DRUGS ARE OUT THAT
ARE OUT THERE TO HELP PEOPLE
THAT SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION
CORRECT- NOT ALL OF THEM BUT
YES IN GENERAL YEAH THERE'S A
LOT OF. HOWEVER THERE ARE
ALWAYS- ADMINISTERED UNDER THE-
WELL THEY NEED TO BE
ADMINISTERED. UNDER THE
WATCHFUL EYES OF PHYSICIANS.
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE REACT ONE
WAY TO DOES. AND SOME PEOPLE
REACTED COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
WAY. AND THAT OTHER WAY IS TO
ACTUALLY EXACERBATE THEIR
SITUATION AND THEY WIND UP
COMMITTING SUICIDE- WHEN THEY
WEREN'T NECESSARILY SUICIDAL SO
THESE TYPE OF SECOND THESE TYPE
OF CYCLE- SECOND OF PSYCHEDELIC
DRUGS- ANYWAY THE ONES THAT
WOULD THAT OPERATE ON YOUR
PSYCHE- HAVE DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT EFFECTS ON DIFFERENT
PEOPLE AND WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THOSE EFFECTS ARE SO. YOU KNOW
I HAVE EVERY SYMPATHY IN THE
WORLD. FOUR YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY
OUR VETERANS WHO HAVE PTSD. AND
I AM ALL FOR ANYTHING THAT CAN
HELP THEM- TO- HELP THEM TO
DEAL WITH THAT. I'M OKAY WITH
HOWEVER IT HAS T BE DONE IN A
CLINICAL SETTING HAS TO BE DONE
NOTHING UNDER THE WATCHFUL EYE
FOR. A PHYSICIAN. BECAUSE
ABSENT THAT- WHAT WE'RE DOING
IS OPENING THE DOOR TO A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME
ISSUES WITH DEPRESSION DRUGS.
WHERE THEY CAN BE AFFECTED IN
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT WAYS AND I
HAVE HEARD FROM VETERANS. WHO
ARE ARE SAYING THAT HEY YOU
KNOW WHAT THESE DRUGS RUINED MY
FRIEND'S LIFE AND HE KILLED
HIMSELF. SO A. L. HOW DO YOU
CONTROL THAT IF YOU'RE JUST
GOING TO OPEN IT UP AND SAY HEY
IF YOU JUST HAVE IT GOOD NO BIG
DEAL. WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION SOME EMERGED REALLY DO
APPRECIATE IT AND FRANKLY THE
REASON WERE IN THAT SITUATION
IS BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON DRUGS.
BECAUSE INSTEAD OF TAKING A
RATIONAL HEALTH BASED APPROACH
TO DRUGS INCLUDING PSYCHEDELICS
AS WE KNEW. IN THE NINETEEN
SIXTIES THIS IS NOT NEW
INFORMATION THERE'S A LOT MORE
SIZE SEVEN THERE WAS. BUT WE
KNEW IN THE NINETEEN SIXTIES. I
TO GOOGLE LST HEALTH BENEFITS
YOU'RE GOING TO GET BY MORE
THAN TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND HATS.
WE KNEW IN THE NINETEEN SIXTIES
THAT THESE DRUGS COULD BE
HUGELY BENEFICIAL TO PEOPLE'S
HEALTH AND WELLBEING. AND IN
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CAME IN.
AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN AND
RESCHEDULED ALL THE DRUGS AND
SAID YOU'RE A CRIMINAL IF YOU
POSSESS THEM. AND SO WE HAVE
LOST FIFTY YEARS IN CALIFORNIA
THEN FOLLOWED SUIT LIKE WE
WERE. WE WERE MASS
INCARCERATION HAPPY IN THE
EIGHTIES AND NINETIES AND
CRIMINALIZED EVERYTHING. AND SO
DIE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON
DRUGS THAT WERE IN THIS
SITUATION THAT PEOPLE DON'T
HAVE THE INFORMATION THEY NEED
THE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY NEED
TO USE IT AND THE SHADOWS.
WHICH MAKES IT MORE LIKELY THAT
PEOPLE MIGHT USE IT IN THE
WRONG DOSAGE WERE IN THE WRONG
WAY I WANT TO BE CLEAR. I WOULD
LOVE IT IF THE FDA ACTUALLY GOT
AROUND TO RESCHEDULING-
DISSIPATE. CALAMY HAS BEEN
RESCHEDULED ONE OF THE REASON
ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE WERE
OPEN BUT I DON'T WANT TO. BUT I
HEARD PEOPLE WERE SAYING ONE OF
THE REASONS WE TOOK IT OUT. IS
THAT IF YOU HAVE SEVERE
DEPRESSION AND KELEMETE IS
ARGUABLY ONE OF THE BIGGEST
BREAKTHROUGHS IN DEPRESSION
TREATMENT IN A HUNDRED YEARS.
YOU CAN GO TO A DOCTOR AND
GETTING A FUSION ACADEMY YOU
CAN'T DO THAT RIGHT NOW WITH
ANY OF THESE OTHER DRUGS. IT
WOULD A DOCTOR WILL LOSE HIS
LICENSE. IF YOU'RE SHE TRIES TO
GET THIS YEAR. AND SO I WANT
THE FDA TO DO IT. I DON'T KNOW
IF THE FTA WILL EVER GET AROUND
TO IT OR IF IT'S GOING TO BE IN
THREE OR FIVE OR SEVEN OR TEN
YEARS. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS
THAT PEOPLE ARE HURTING AND
DYING NOW- I THINK WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF VETERANS
WHO ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE
BECAUSE OF UNTREATED. MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES. I MORE TO. A I'M
GOING TO BE MY LIFE. THE THAT.
ANYONE WHO'S COMMITTING
SUICIDE. BECAUSE THEY TOOK A
PSYCHEDELIC THAT IS NOT AN
EPIDEMIC. THE EPIDEMIC IS
UNTREATED MENTAL HEALTH AND
ADDICTION. LIKE THE SEVEN
HUNDRED PEOPLE WHO DIED LAST
YEAR IN MY COMMUNITY IN SAN
FRANCISCO. OF OVERDOSES.
BECAUSE THEY'RE ADDICTED TO
HEROIN OR FENTANYL. OUR BATH
AND IT'S ILLEGAL FOR THEM TO
ACCESS. THIS TREATMENT SO I
HOPE THE FTA GETS AROUND TO IT.
BUT YOU KNOW. IN MY COMMUNITY
WERE ALSO LOSING THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE IN THE NINETEEN
EIGHTIES. FROM AIDS. AND IT WAS
A LEGAL TO USE CANNABIS EVEN
THOUGH CANNABIS COULD KEEP
PEOPLE HEALTHIER. AND ALLEVIATE
THEIR SYMPTOMS. AND EVEN TODAY
THE NUMBER OF SENIOR CITIZENS
WHO ARE USING CANNABIS. FOR
THEIR ARTHRITIS. CONSERVATIVE
REPUBLICANS SENIORS. WHO ARE
USING CANNABIS FOR THEIR
ARTHRITIS. AND THE FDA HAS
NEVER RESCHEDULED OF DOCTORS
CAN LOSE THEIR LICENSE. IF THEY
PRESCRIBE. SO I WANT THEM TO DO
THAT BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE ARE
HURTING NOW- AND I WANT TO HELP
THEM UNDERSTAND THAT AND- A. D.
TELL ME. I WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR TAKING THAT OFF THE LIST
CAN MEANS DATE RAPE. THAT'S WHY
THAT IS I JUST DON'T WITH A
CONSTITUENT. WHO IS IN THE SAD
CIRCUMSTANCE OF HAVING THAT
HAPPEN TO THEM. AND THEY
COULDN'T GET THE HOSPITAL TO
GIVEN THE TEST IT'LL LET THEM
KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED-
SO TERRY. THANK YOU FOR TAKING
THAT OFF THE LIST BECAUSE I WAS
REALLY THAT WAS A REAL RALLY
KILLER WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT
THIS. AS IF THERE WEREN'T
ENOUGH OF THE OTHER ONES- WHEN
I TALKED THE HIGHWAY PATROL.
YOU KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER IS OF
HIGHWAY. INCIDENTS ARE ON THE
HIGHWAYS RIGHT NOW. 70% OF THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN AN
INCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY ARE
UNDER SOME KIND OF INFLUENCE OF
SOME KIND OF DRUG. AND SO I
DON'T SEE HOW THIS HELPS THAT
OUT ANY. AND ALSO UNDER DON'T
UNDERSTAND HOW WE'RE GOING TO
KEEP THESE. OUT OF THE HANDS OF
OUR UNDER TWENTY ONE
POPULATION. BECAUSE THIS WILL
BE JUST LIKE BEER YOU JUST GO
GET THE TWENTY ONE YEAR OLD TO
GIVE YOU THE STUFF. AND EVEN
THOUGH IT'S ILLEGAL THEY'RE
STILL GOING TO GET IT THEY'RE
GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO IT
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO CREATE A
MARKET FOR IT. SO THAT THE
ILLEGAL DRUG TRADE WILL BE ABLE
TO SUPPLY THEM. ALL THESE
PEOPLE THAT WANT THIS BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT ALL WITH PTSD
SOMEONE JUST WANT FOR
RECREATIONAL USE THERE WAS A
LOT OF THAT IN THE SIXTIES. AND
SO I I'M NOT SURE HOW WE'RE
GOING TO CONTROL ALL OF THAT.
AND ON TOP OF THAT. KEEP OUR
YOUNG KIDS FROM TAKING OUT ONE
PILL OF ECSTASY. IT JUST
HAPPENS TO BE LACED WITH
FENTANYL. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
THOSE DRUG DEALERS ARE DOING
THESE DAYS. IS A RELAXING
EVERYTHING WITH IT AND ALL
BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR DRUG.
TO HAVE AN EXTRA KICK SO THE
PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BUY. SO I
THINK THIS IS. ONE OF THOSE
THINGS WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING THE
CART BEFORE THE HORSE. I THINK
IF THE FDA FINDS THAT THIS IS A
DRUG. THAT IS ARE THESE DRUGS
ARE BENEFICIAL FOR A CERTAIN
POPULATION. THEN I THINK THAT
NEEDS TO BE REGULATED. ON
REGULATING IT IS NOT GOING TO
SOLVE THE PROBLEM. J. THAT YOU
BROUGHT THE BILL- THOSE ARE MY
CONCERNS I. APPRECIATE SOME
EVENT I SAY ALL OF THE BAD
THINGS HE'S A SAID I AGREE.
DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE IS
BAD. GIVING DRUGS TO KIDS IS
BAD. THAT IT IS ALL HAPPENING
NOW. AND THAT IS IN THIS BILL
DOESN'T CHANGE THAT. BUT THAT
IS ALL HAPPENING NOW AND THE
QUESTION IS. IF WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO SAY THAT ARRESTING
PEOPLE IS GOING TO PREVENT THAT
CLEARLY IT DOESN'T. COST FIFTY
YEARS LATER IT'S ALL STILL
HAPPENING. AND I DO JUST WANT
TO SAY YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO
LOST MY AUNT TO A DRUNK DRIVER-
I YOU KNOW I IF WE GOT THE DATA
FROM CHP IN TERMS OF WHAT.
THEY'RE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF-
I'VE LEARNED ABOUT MY LUNCH
AGAIN THAT IS OVERWHELMINGLY.
ALCOHOL AL CAPONE OR WANNA
ALCOHOL AND ALCOHOL WHICH BY
THE WAY. AND WANT TO TALK ABOUT
A DATE RAPE DRUG. IT'S NOT
PSYCHEDELICS IS NOT CAN I MEAN.
ALCOHOL MONTHS. SCARED OF ME.
ALL RIGHT. WHICH WHICH THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR I JUST TO
THANK AUTHOR FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD. I THINK IT'S A
VERY CRITICAL CONVERSATION WE
NEED TO DECRIMINALIZE-
POSSESSION OF THESE SUBSTANCES
FOR PERSONAL USE- I DO BELIEVE
THAT THEY- CAN OFFER
THERAPEUTIC VALUE FOR PEOPLE- I
AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS A
HUNDRED PERCENT- YOU KNOW- WE
FREELY DRINK ALCOHOL AND ONE
COULD SAY THAT THAT'S ACTUALLY
A MUCH MORE SUBSTANCE. THAN THE
SUBSTANCES WERE TALKING ABOUT
HERE- IN THIS BILL AND THE
OTHER PIECE OF THE EQUATION
HERE IS THAT WHO'S ACTUALLY
GETTING ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION
IT'S KIDS OF COLOR AND PEOPLE
OF COLOR MORE SO THAN. WHITE
FAMILIES AND WHITE KIDS AND
FOLKS WHO ARE USING THIS WE
HAVE TO HAVE A REAL
CONVERSATION ABOUT ABOUT THIS
WAR ON DRUGS. AND WHAT IT
ACTUALLY MEANS AND ITS IMPACT
ON PEOPLE'S LIVES- SO I WILL
MOVE THE BILL HASN'T MOVED
ALREADY I WILL SUPPORT THE BILL
AND I LOVE TO BE ADDED AS A CO
AUTHOR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
MISTER LUCKY. YES SIR I'M NOT
GOING TO BE LABOR THE POINTS.
OF OBJECTION THAT I HAVE TO
THIS PARTICULAR MEASURE I KNOW
THAT YOUR- YOUR INTENTIONS. ARE
SURPRISINGLY NORMAL- BUT I
REALLY REALLY. TAKEN OBJECTION.
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THE HURTFUL
IMPACTS OF. WHAT THESE
PARTICULAR DRUGS- AND THEY ARE
VERY VERY HURTFUL NUMBER
THREATENING IN MANY WAYS TO THE
INDIVIDUALS THEMSELVES AND
MAYBE EVEN OTHERS AND I THINK
BY- LEGALIZING THE SUBSTANCE
THOSE TRAGEDIES ARE GOING TO
INCREASE OLD THAT'S REALLY
WHERE I'M COMING FROM AND I
THINK YOU KNOW THAT SO I'M NOT
GOING TO BE INSULTING OR- OR BE
NASTY OTHERS. WILL TELL YOU
THAT I THINK IT IT'S MISGUIDED
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN THE OTHER
SIDE OF THESE DRUGS AND IT'S
VERY VERY. HEARTBREAKING THAT'S
ALL I GOT. THANK YOU MR CLARK-
SO I'M ALREADY A CO AUTHOR
THANK YOU- LOOK AS HE AS SO
ELOQUENTLY STATED BY THE AUTHOR
WARRANT DRUGS HASN'T WORKED. BY
MAKING THESE THINGS TOTALLY
LEGAL IT'S MUCH EASIER THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING THEM TO
SELL THEM TO MINORS- WE OUGHT
TO BE LEGALIZING POSSESSION
PERIOD- HOW DOES IT HELP PEOPLE
TO BE ARRESTED PARTICULARLY
WHEN IT'S PREDOMINANTLY BLACK
AND BROWN PEOPLE WHO ARE-
DISADVANTAGED BY THIS YOU KNOW
WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL AT
COLUMBIA- ALL THE KIDS TO TRIED
LSD AND- CANNABIS AT CETERA. NO
ONE WAS EVER ARRESTED FOR
ANYTHING AND- YOU KNOW A HALF
MILE AWAY IN HARLEM BLACK AND
BROWN PEOPLE WERE BEING
ARRESTED ALL THE TIME WE HAVE
TO STOP THIS THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ARE ANYMORE FOR COMMENTS OR
QUESTIONS. YOU MAY CLOSE. I
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN AGAIN YOU
WERE HERE EARLIER I JUST WANT
TO EXPRESS MY THANKS TO YOU AND
TO THE COMMITTEE FOR WORKING
WITH US- FOR PRAYER VERY
THOROUGH ANALYSIS ON MY
REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES TO BOTH
OF YOU I KNOW- WE ALL COME FROM
A GOOD PLACE ON THIS AND I
APPRECIATE YOU ALL ARE VERY
OPEN AND CANDID AND I
UNDERSTAND WE HAVE A
DISAGREEMENT ON THIS AND I
HONOR THAT DISAGREEMENT. ABOUT
COLLEAGUES I THINK THIS IS A
BILL THAT IS LONG OVERDUE- AND
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE
VOTE. AND I WANT TO THANK YOU
TO FOR A TICKING COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDATIONS ESPECIALLY IN
OF JOIN. ME TO SEROTONIN
PICKING UP. KIDDING ME IT. DID
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO
THAT WOULD. JUST COME. VIEWS
WHAT YOU ULTIMATELY WANT TO GET
ACCOMPLISHED. I WITH THEIR
TEACHERS RECOMMENDED I CALL THE
ROLL. THE BILL'S IMPROPERLY
MENTIONS ON SB FIVE NINETEEN BY

PASS AS AMENDED TO THE HEALTH

ITEMS NUMBER THIRTEEN. BILL
NUMBER SB SIXTEEN ITEM NUMBER
FOURTEEN S. B. EIGHTY ONE AND
ICE MY UNDERSTANDING. YOU WOULD
LIKE TO START WITH S. B. EIGHT
ONE. YES BECAUSE MY WITNESSES
THAT. TIME HAS TIME CONSTRAINTS.
I HAD THE- OR HALF A GREAT
HONOR TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE
ON THE REVIEW OF THE PENAL CODE
WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED FIRST
CONCEPTUALLY BY GOVERNOR BROWN
BUT THEN THE APPOINTMENTS WERE
MADE BY GOVERNOR NEWSOM AND I
SERVE ON ACT WITH A DEAN OF A
LAW SCHOOL TO OF ONE OF OUR
JUSTICES ARE SUPERIOR COURT
JUSTICES IN ART ONE OF OUR
JUDGES- AND- THE ACADEMIC FROM
STANFORD. WHO FOCUSES ON
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND WHAT WE
HAVE BEEN DOING IS TAKE HAVING
X. VERY LONG MEETINGS WITH
STAKEHOLDER INPUT ABOUT VARIOUS
PARTS OF THE PENAL CODE. AND
WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF SESSIONS
ON THE CONCEPT OF ENHANCEMENTS.
AND AS YOU KNOW WHAT AN
ENHANCEMENT IS A SENSE IN HANTS
MEANT IS THAT IT ADDS TIME TO
THE BASE SENTENCE OF THE FACE
CRIME. AND INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH
MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THIS
CALIFORNIA HAS ABOUT A HUNDRED
AND SIXTY ON THE BOOKS- MY
APPROACH WITH SB EIGHTY ONE
WHICH WAS DEVELOPED BY. THE
JUDGE AND THE JUSTICE ON OUR
PENAL CODE COMMITTEE. WAS TO
PROVIDE JUDICIAL GUIDANCE
BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE- PEOPLE
THAT SERVE ON THE BENCH.
POINTED OUT THAT WHILE THERE IS
SOME DISCRETION IT THEY ARE
VERY IT'S UNCLEAR UNDER WHAT
CONTEXT MAY DAY EXERT THAT
DISCRETION IN RELATIONSHIP TO
THE SENTENCE ENHANCEMENTS AND
WE EVEN HAD DE ACE TESTIFIED
THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE TRIAL
ENDS UP BEING A DISCUSSION ON
THE ENHANCEMENTS RATHER THAN ON
THE CRIME ITSELF. SO WHAT SB
EIGHTY ONE DOES IS PROVIDES
GUIDANCE TO OUR JUDGES SO THEY
HAVE SOME CRITERIA TO USE WHEN
THEY ARE DETERMINING AT THE
SENTENCING HANDSOMEST AT THE AT.
SO IT PROVIDES THIS CLEAR
GUIDANCE AND- THE COMMITTEE AND
I FEEL THAT THIS WILL IMPROVE
FAIRNESS IN SENTENCING AND
ENSURE THAT THE PENALTY
REFLECTS THE TRUE CIRCUMSTANCES
OF THE CRIME- I WOULD LIKE MY
WITNESSES NOW TO- PRESENT AND
THEY ARE JUDGE PETER ESPINOZA
ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PENAL
CODE REVIEW COMMITTEE WHO
HELPED TO DEVELOP THIS POLICY.
AND PROFESSOR MICHAEL ROMANO
FROM STANFORD WHO IS THE CHAIR
OF THE COMMITTEE ON REVISION OF
THE PENAL CODE. YOU MAY OPEN UP
LINES AT T. OPERATORS FOR.
PROFESSOR ROMERO OVER FOR-
PETER ESPINOZA FORMER JUDGE.
CERTAINLY THANK YOU TO BOTH OF
THEIR LINES ARE OPEN TO SPEAK
AT THEIR DISCRETION. THE ROMANO
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO FOR WHAT
YOU WANT TO GO. ALL SURE I'LL
GO FIRST- MY NAME IS MICHAEL
MONO I TEACH AT STANFORD LAW
SCHOOL THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME-
I AM THE CHAIR OF THE COMMITTEE
ON THE REVISION OF THE PENAL
CODE AND I HAVE THE GREAT
PLEASURE OF SERVING LYNCH-
SENATOR SKINNER. AND JUDGE
ESPINOZA AMONG OTHERS- I JUST
WANNA MAKE A FEW QUICK POINTS
OF SUPPORT OF SB EIGHTY ONE- WE
HAVE A AS A COMMITTEE LAST YEAR
HAD OVER- FIFTY HOURS A PUBLIC
HEARINGS WE HEARD FROM FIFTY
SIX EXPERT WITNESSES INCLUDING
LAW ENFORCEMENT VICTIMS
ADVOCATE CHILL RIGHTS LEADERS
THE PEOPLE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY
PUBLIC LEGAL SYSTEM. WE ALSO
RECEIVED EXTENSIVE PUBLIC
COMMENT IN ALMOST EVERY-
SESSION THAT WE HAD THAT ONE
WAVERLY ANOTHER WISH- SHOULDN'T
SHOULD HANDS NEXT. WHICH AS THE
COMMITTEE CERTAINLY KNOWS
RESULT EXTREMELY LENGTHY
SENTENCES- OF COURSE THERE
OFTEN DISPROPORTIONATELY
APPLIED AGAINST PEOPLE OF COLOR
AND RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THEY
HAVE LITTLE OR NO IMPACT ON
PUBLIC SAFETY- TRIFECTA
SPECIFICALLY TO SB EIGHTY ONE-
DID MANAGE PENAL CODE- THIRTEEN
EIGHTY FIVE. WHICH ALLOWS
JUDGES TO DISMISS CERTAIN
ENHANCEMENTS QUOTE IN
FURTHERANCE OF JUSTICE.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO
STATUTORY DEFINITION OF WHAT
THAT PHRASE MEANS AND THE
CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT HAS
SAID IS THAT IS A QUOTE
AMORPHOUS CONCEPT. ON QUOTE AND
AS. A RESULT- IT DIDN'T UTILIZE
IN- IN IN A COULD JUST AND ARE.
WELL PERHAPS NOT ARCHER
ANYTHING. AND YOU CAN JUST ARE
THE STATE. OF CALIFORNIA. HAD
SOME LIMITS OF MULTIPLE KANSEN
BUT LEGISLATURE PROPOSAL AWAY
IN NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN- WE
BELIEVE THAT SB EIGHTY ONE IS A
GOOD WAY TO- INFORM JUDICIAL
DISCRETION. BUT STILL PRESERVES
AND PRIORITIZES- THE ABILITY TO
JUDGE TO- IMPOSE SENTENCES TO
PROTECT PUBLIC SAFETY. WE ALSO
HELP TO HELP MINIMIZE. SOME OF
THE- UNINTENDED. OF IT AND- THE
LAST THAT WE WILL SAY THAT
AMONG OUR WITNESSES WORK FORMER
GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN WHO TOLD
THE COMMITTEE QUOTE WE SHOULD
GET RID OF ALL THE
ENHANCEMENTS. SANTA CLARA
DISTRICT ATTORNEY JEFF ROSEN
SAID ENHANCEMENTS HAVE BECOME
THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG
QUOTE- AND TRIALS AND LOS
ANGELES DISTRICT ATTORNEY
GEORGE GASC ON WHO I TESTIFIED
THAT ENHANCEMENTS RESULT IN
EXCESSIVE SENTENCES AND HAVE NO
CONNECTION TO PUBLIC SAFETY- SO
WITH THAT I'LL HAND THE CALL
OVER TO MY COMMITTEE MEMBER-
PETER ESPINOZA AND OF COURSE
ANSWER. ANY QUESTIONS IF THAT
WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU
MICHAEL MY MR AUSTIN ALL SUMMER
WITH JUDGE OF A LOS ANGELES
SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE OF THE
PERSONAL. WHEN YOU. CONSIDER S.
B. EIGHTY ONE HUNDRED AND
SENATOR SKINNER HAS REFERRED TO
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE ALREADY
OVER ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
ENHANCEMENTS IN ALBANY
CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE A
CANADIAN SCHOOL IN NINETEEN
SEVENTY SIX OVER 80% OF PEOPLE
IN PRISON ARE SERVING THE TERM
ONCE AND B ENHANCEMENTS AND
MORE THAN 25% OF PEOPLE IN
PRISON ARE SERVING SENTENCES
EXTENDED BY THREE OR MORE
ENHANCEMENTS. WHEN THE
COMMISSION PENAL CODE- YOUR
VISION WAS PUT TOGETHER ONE OF
THE THINGS WE ARE ASKED TO DO
AS NON CONSIDER HOW THE PENAL
CODE CONTRIBUTES TO RACIAL
DISPARITIES WITHIN THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM LOOKING AT THE
PENAL CODE AND ENHANCEMENTS
THROUGH A RACIAL JUSTICE. ON
RACIAL EQUITY LANDS. PORTANTINO
THAT 9% OF IN PRISON WITH A
GANG. OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. AND
89% OF PEOPLE IN PRISON- WHAT A
GUN ENHANCEMENT ARE PEOPLE OF
COLOR. AND I JUST WANT TO
REINFORCE- PROFESSOR LEMANIS-
SORT OF OVERVIEW OF WHAT THE
DISK THIS BILL DOES AND DOESN'T
DO IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT
THIS BILL DOES NOT ELIMINATE.
ANY ENHANCEMENTS FROM JUDGES TO
NOT LOSE THE ABILITY TO IMPOSE
ENHANCEMENTS- THE GOAL IS TO
PROVIDE GUIDANCE AS TO WHEN
JUDGES SHOULD THIS MESS BY
SCAVENGING THE PRESUMPTION THAT
THEY DO STONE CIRCUMSTANCES.
BUT THIS SHOULD ONLY BE DONE
ALWAYS BEGUN CONSIDERATION OF
PUBLIC SAFETY- AND THE JUDGE
HAS THE ABILITY TO IMPOSE-
ENHANCEMENT DEPOSITION PORTENTS
TO PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY.
CALIFORNIA PREVIOUSLY HAD A
LIMITATION ON STACKING MULTIPLE
ENHANCEMENTS THAT WAS
ELIMINATED IN NINETEEN NINETY
SEVEN THANK YOU. VERY MUCH.

SORRY OPPOSITION. BEEN A LONG
LONG DAY ROBERT MESSED MESSED
MEANT FROM THE ORANGE COUNTY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. BY
PHONE. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
ADA ROBERT MASS MEN ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS ASSOCIATION THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE- I'D LIKE
TO NOTE THAT- MOST ENHANCEMENTS
ARE WHAT ARE KNOWN AS SPECIFIC
OR CONDUCT MASON HARASSMENTS
THEY ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO
THE CONDUCT AN INDIVIDUAL
ENGAGES IN DURING A CRIME. A
DEFENDANT SHOULD BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE FOR ENGAGING AND
AGGRAVATED CONDUCT DURING THE
COMMISSION OF A CRIME INCLUDING
FOR USE OF A WEAPON OR FIREARM
INJURY TO A VICTIM OR MULTIPLE
VICTIMS AND COMMITTING A HATE
CRIME. I READ ONE OF THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THAT QUOTE
PHILIPSBURG COMMITTEE IN THE
SAME CRIME SOME INDIVIDUALS
RECEIVE ONLY THE FACE SENTENCE
WHILE OTHERS HAVE FIVE TEN OR
MORE YEARS ADDED TO THEIR TIME
UNQUOTE. THAT IS AN INACCURATE
STATEMENT IT IS NOT THE SAME
CRIME A ROBBERY COMMITTED WITH
THE USE OF A WEAPON OR FIREARM
FOR WHERE THE VICTIM IS INJURED
IS DIFFERENT THAN JUST A
REGULAR ROBBERY THOUGH THE BASE
CHARGE PENAL. CODE SECTION TWO
ELEVN IS THE SAME. TD IS
OPPOSED S. EIGHTY ONE FOREVER
OF REASONS. FIRST THE BILL IS
UNNECESSARY UNDER EXISTING LAW
JUDGES HAVE DISCRETION AND
FLEXIBILITY DETERMINING WHETHER
TO IMPOSE OR DISMISS AN
ENHANCEMENT THIS BILL ACTUALLY
TAKE DISCRETION AWAY FROM
JUDGES ARE IN THE BEST POSITION
TO EVALUATE THE FACTS OF THE
CASE AND THE PARTICULARS OF THE
OFFENDER. THERE ARE MULTIPLE
STATUTES RULES OF COURT AND
CASE LAW THAT GOVERN HOW COURTS
ARE CONDUCTED SENSING SENSING
HEARING WHT FACTORS TO
CONSIDER AND WHETHER TO IMPOSE
OR DISMISS AN ENHANCEMENT. I
JUDGES IN THE BEST POSITION TO
DETERMINE AN APPROPRIATE
SENTENCE AND WHAT IS IN THE
INTEREST OF JUSTICE TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT THE TOTALITY OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES. INSTEAD OF
SIMPLY LISTING ADDITIONAL
CRITERIA FOR THE COURT TO
CONSIDER AND PROVIDING GUIDANCE
AS THE COMMITTEE ON THE
REVISION OF THE PENAL CODE
SUGGESTS. WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY
ADDRESS A MAJOR CONCERN OF THE
PARK BILL'S PROPONENTS
CONCERNING LACK OF CLARITY AND
CONSISTENCY SB EIGHTY ONE
ACTUALLY TIES THE HANDS OF
JUDGES. THE BILL WILL
ESSENTIALLY PROHIBIT
ENHANCEMENTS IN MULTIPLE
CIRCUMSTANCES BY CREATING A
MANDATORY PRESUMPTION. WITH AN
UNREALISTICALLY HIGH BURDEN OF
PROOF CLEAR AND CONVINCING
EVIDENCE OF RISK TO PUBLIC
SAFETY. THAT MEANS A JUDGE
COULD DETERMINE THAT IT'S MORE
LIKELY THAN NOT THAT DISMISSAL
OF ENHANCEMENT WOULD ENDANGER
PUBLIC SAFETY BUT STILL BE
REQUIRED TO DISMISS IT LET ME
REPEAT THAT A JUDGE COULD
DETERMINE THAT IT'S MORE LIKELY
THAN NOT. THAT DISMISSAL
ENHANCEMENT WOULD ENDANGER
PUBLIC SAFETY BUT STILL BE
REQUIRED TO DISMISS IT. THAT
MAKES NO SENSE THAT'S WHAT THIS
HIGH BURDEN OF PROOF. CLEAR
CONVINCING EVIDENCE WOULD DO.
AND UNLIKE THE REST THE PENAL
CODE SECTION THIRTEEN EIGHTY
FIVE THAT ALLOWS THE JUDGE TO
STRIKE IT THE ADDITIONAL
PUNISHMENT SB EIGHTY ONE
PROVIDES NO SUCH DISCRETION FOR
THE COURT. A JUDGE MUST DISMISS
THE ENHANCEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY
IF THE MAIN CONCERN OF THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSORS OF THE OF
THE BILL IS THE ADDITIONAL
PUNISHMENT ASSOCIATED WITH
ENHANCEMENTS THAT AT A MINIMUM.
THIS ASPECT OF THE BILL SHOULD
BE AMENDED TO ALLOW STRIKING
JUST THE PUNISHMENT UNDER
THIRTEEN EIGHTY FIVE SUBSECTION
B. THERE ARE ALSO NO EXCLUSIONS
BILL. THE BILL WILL APPLY TO
SERIOUS AND VIOLENT OFFENSES
INCLUDING MURDER RAPE CHILD
MOLESTATION DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
HUMAN TRAFFICKING HATE CRIMES
EXCEPT YOUR- FINALLY MANY OF
THE CIRCUMSTANCES LISTED IN SB
EIGHTY ONE THAT PRESUME THAT
ENHANCE COULD BE DISMISSED HER
TROUBLING INCLUDING MULTIPLE
ENHANCEMENTS IF A DEFENDANT
ENGAGES IN VARIOUS CONTACT THAT
RESULTS IN MULTIPLE
ENHANCEMENTS. SUCH AS USE OF A
WALK. OF SEVERAL WEAPONS OR
INFLICTION OF SERIOUS INJURY
MULTIPLE VICTIMS HAD MULTIPLE
ENHANCEMENTS MAY BE WARRANTED.
ANOTHER CRITERIA THAT THE
OFFENSES CONNECTED TO PRIOR
VICTIMIZATION OF CHILDHOOD
TRAUMA UNLIKE TO. THE PROVISION
CONCERNING MENTAL ILLNESS IT IS
UNCLEAR WHAT THE TERM CONNECTED
MEANS AND THE DEFINITION OF
PRIOR VICTIMIZATION IN
CHILDHOOD TRAUMA IS SIMPLY TOO
BROAD INCLUDING EVEN CHILDHOOD
TRAUMA EXPERIENCED BY A
HOUSEHOLD MEMBER. IN OTHER
WORDS I DEFENDED WHO NEVER
EXPERIENCED CHILDHOOD TRAUMA
WOULD QUALIFY UNDER THIS
PROVISION. ALSO CONVICTION UP
PRIOR CONVICTIONS THAT ARE FIVE
OR MORE YEARS OLD THIS MEANS
THAT A SIX YEAR OLD PRIOR RAPE
CONVICT CONVICTION OF A SERIAL
RAPIST SHOULD BE DISREGARDED
WHAT IF THE INDIVIDUAL HAD BEEN
CURSORY DID OVER MOST OF THAT
PERIOD. OR THE INDIVIDUAL IS RE
OFFENDED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER
THAT PERIOD THESE FACTORS ARE
NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THE BILL.
FINALLY I JUST WANT TO TALK
ABOUT- ONE CASE THAT SHOWS AN
EXAMPLE OF SENTENCING
ENHANCEMENTS AND THAT'S THE
RECENT CASE OF EIGHT AND LEO'S
SIX YEAR OLD BOY WHO WAS
TRAGICALLY KILLED IN A ROAD
RAGE SHOOTING ON THE FIFTY FIVE
FREEWAY. WITHOUT THE
ENHANCEMENT FOR INTENTIONAL
DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM RESULTED
IN DEATH THE DEFENDANT WOULD BE
RELEASED POLICE. TO SAN.
SHOOTING INTO AN OCCUPIED
VEHICLE HE WOULD BE RELEASED
UNDER FIVE YEARS VOLUNTARY
MANSLAUGHTER RELEASED UNDER
EIGHT YEARS AND EVEN IF HE WAS
CONVICTED OF SECOND DEGREE
MURDER HE'D BE ELIGIBLE FOR
PAROLE UNDER TEN YEARS. THAT'S
SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR THE
SENSELESS KILLING OF A SIX YEAR
OLD BOY. CDA WOULD BE MORE THAN
WILLING TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR
AND OTHER SPONSORS OF THE BILL
ON ON THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILL.
BUT ADDED KERR IS CURRENTLY
DRAFTED WE MUST BE OPPOSED TO
SB EIGHTY ONE AND ASK YOU TO.
OPPOSE IT WITH A NO VOTE THANK

ALL IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
THANK YOU THANK YOU NOW WILL
BRING BACK MR LACKEY I THINK
YOU BEGIN FIRST. OKAY WELL
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND CENTER
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT I HAVE TO
TELL YOU THAT I'M I'M VERY MUCH
IN OPPOSITION TO THIS
PARTICULAR PROPOSAL TO YOU
BROUGHT FORWARD HERE I THINK IT
GOES WAY BEYOND GUIDANCE AND
IT'S MY OPINION THAT IT'S
EXTREMELY BIASED. AND IT'S
APPROACH AND- YOU MENTIONED
EARLIER THIS TO YOUR GOAL WAS
FAIRNESS. BUT IN MY OPINION OF
FAIRNESS SHOULD NOT BE DEFINED
BY JUST A REDUCED SENTENCE. I
HAVE HERE. A BOOK THIS BOOK IS
SOLELY CRIMINAL SENTENCING
ENHANCEMENTS AND YOU YOUR BILL
WILL ESSENTIALLY MAKE ITS
CONTENTS OBSOLETE. BECAUSE YOU
YOUR BILL IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
DESTROYS JUDICIAL DISCRETION AS
IT RELATES TO- SENATE'S
ANNOUNCEMENTS. AND SO I WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT. AND
I'D I'M SORRY THAT- THAT'S MY
POSITION BUT IT IS A VERY
STRONG POSITION. THANK YOU.
MISTER LEE. I THANK CENTER FOR
BRING US FOR IT'S A GREAT
PLEASURE TO BE SERVING ON THE
COMMITTEE COMMITTEE ON THE
REVISION OF THE PENAL CODE WITH
YOU AS WELL AFTER OF PLACING
NOW CENTER COLLAR ON IT BUT IT
IS REALLY IMPORTANT I THINK
WITH SUPPORT AT THIS BILL I
THINK IT'S MISCONSTRUED AS THE
IT'S CLARIFYING. OF THE ABILITY
TO FOURTEEN JUSTICES TO DISMISS
ENHANCEMENT IN THE FURTHERANCE
OF JUSTICE AND THAT'S THE KEY
PHRASE IN THE FURTHERANCE OF
JUSTICE IF THAT PHRASE SOUNDS
VAGUE TO YOU RIGHT NOW THAT OF
COURSE IMAGINE IT AT THE COURT
LEVEL AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO WITH THIS BILL AND
I SEE IT'S ALSO PERSPECTIVE SO
DOESN'T YOU RETRACTABLE THAT
PEOPLE- SOME OF THE- OPPONENTS.
KIND OF. MESSAGE ABOUT. I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT
AND YOU KNOW AS THE EVEN THAT.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY OF MINE
COUNTY HAD. TALKED ABOUT. AND
THE COUNTIES CLARA. SANTA TAXES-REALLY HAVE BECOME THE TAIL
THAT WAGS THE DOG IN MANY CASES
AS- I ALSO PRESENTED A BILL
BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCEMENTS. THE PEOPLE SERVE
A LONGER SENTENCE FOR. ADULTS
FOR MANDATORY ADD ON'S AND THEY
DO FOR THE PRINCIPLE CRIMES AND
IF OUR SYSTEM IS ABOUT.
EDUCATING THE- NUANCES OF A
CRIME OR EDUCATING WHAT A
DETAILS ARE ABOUT IT SHOULD BE-
THE CRITICAL JUST ASSUME SHOULD
BE HINGED. ON JUST THAT GIANT
BOOK OF A HUNDRED SIXTY
ENHANCEMENTS SO. I THINK THIS
IS A VERY CLEAR. AND SIMPLE
BILL ABOUT IT THAT IT'S WHICH
HAS WRAPPED UP A LOT OF
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT IT. AND IF
THERE IS A TIME TO BE AT HONEST
CO AUTHOR OF LOVE TO JOIN YOU
AS WELL CENTER SKINNER. THANK
YOU. MR CLARK- YES I SUPPOSE
THIS BILL AS WELL HASN'T BEEN
MOVED YET. NOW I'LL MOVE THE
BELL- AND I'M VERY GLAD THAT-
ASSEMBLY MEMBER LEE IS ON THIS
COMMITTEE AND THAT HE HAS TAKEN
TO THIS COMMITTEE LIKE A DUCK
TO WATER AND IT'S VERY VERY
GLAD TO HAVE HIM ON HERE- LOOK
THE POINT OF THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM IS TO MAKE LIFE
SAFER FOR ALL OF US. I DON'T
THINK PUTTING AWAY A PERSON FOR
TWENTY YEARS INSTEAD OF TEN
MAKES MY LIFE SAFER. FRANKLY
THE SOONER SOMEONE CAN GET A
GET OUT THE MORE LIKELY THEY
ARE TO BE RETURNED TO- NORMAL
LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO A LIFE OF
CRIME SO I JUST DON'T SEE THE
POINT OF THESE LONG
ANNOUNCEMENTS. THIS RESEARCH
SAYS THAT THEY DO NOT DETER
PEOPLE FROM. COMMITTING CRIMES
SO I'M VERY MUCH IN SUPPORT OF
THE BILL THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER SEA OTTER THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CORK THE POINT
OF. OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
IS ACTUALLY TO PROVIDE JUSTICE
TO VICTIMS A LOT OF TIMES- IT'S
NOT JUST ABOUT- THAT JUST
SENTENCE- WE JUST HAD A RECENT
COURT CARTER RECENT CASE THAT
WAS WAS SETTLED- WELL
PUBLICIZED. IT HAS BEEN THE
SUBJECT OF MUCH ANGST OVER THE
LAST YEAR. AND THAT IS THE
TRIAL OF- DEAR CHILDREN. AND
DEREK SHERMAN WOULD HAVE HAD A
TWELVE YEAR SENTENCE HAD IT NOT
BEEN FOR ENHANCEMENTS. I DON'T
THINK A TWELVE YEAR SENTENCE
WOULD HAVE- APPROPRIATELY
ADDRESSED THE OUTRAGE AND
CONCERNS OVER HIS CONDUCT- OR
THE OUTCOME OF THAT CONTACT.
AND IF YOU THAT WERE IN
CALIFORNIA THAT'S WHAT HE WOULD
GET. AND ACCORDING TO THIS. AND
I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT'S IN THE
BEST INTEREST OF JUSTICE- I
THINK WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THAT
AND HE SENATE'S ENHANCEMENTS.
ARE KIND OF IN LIEU OF- TRYING
THEM ON EACH EACH DIFFERENT
COUNT OF WHICH WERE BLACK HAIR
BAND. USED TO DOING. AND THAT'S
THE JUDICATA BY THE JUDGE AT
THE END AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED IN THAT TRIAL.
HISENSE'S TWELVE YEARS. AND
ENDED THE JUDGES ABLE TO ADD ON
SENTENCING ENHANCEMENTS FOR
OPERATING OF THE COLOR OF
AUTHORITY OR MISUSING HIS
AUTHORITY. AND AND THEN BUT I
FORGOT WHAT THE OTHER ONE WAS.
THE ADDED TEN YEARS AND TWENTY
TWO AND A HALF YEARS SEEMS MORE
LIKE A JUST SENTENCE. TEN
TWELVE. IF YOU'RE OUT IN EIGHT.
BECAUSE IF YOU DO GOOD TIME.
GOING OUT NAY. I WOULD OFFERED
AND I DOUBT VERY MUCH THAT MR
CHAU VAN WOULD DO ANYTHING TO
ANYBODY IF WE RELATE. IS NOT IN
JAIL FOR THAT IS NOT IN JAIL
BECAUSE WERE AFRAID HE'S GOING
TO DO SOMETHING TO SOMEBODY
ELSE IS IN JAIL BECAUSE WHAT HE
DID. AND THAT'S WHAT I SEE AS
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
WORKING CORRECTLY. AND WE HAVE
TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CONTINUES
TO WORK CORRECTLY IN THE FUTURE
I DON'T THINK THIS HELPS. SO
UNFORTUNATELY TODAY ON THIS
BILL I CANNOT SUPPORT YOU KNOW
THANK YOU. THANK YOU I NEED A
FEW MORE COMMON FOR. YOU MAY
CLOSE I'M THANK YOU CHAIR- WE
OBVIOUSLY HAVE MANY BILLS
REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS THAT
COME BEFORE US AND- THE END
THERE ARE MERITS TO ALL OF THEM
THE APPROACH AS THE WITNESSES
WHO TESTIFIED IN SUPPORT.
EXPLAINED THAT WE ARE TRYING TO
TAKE IN THIS ONE IS RATHER THAN
ELIMINATING THE ENHANCEMENTS.
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY ONE COULD
MAKE A GOOD ARGUMENT HE PER
CLIENT FOR ANYONE OF THE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY. IT WAS TO BE
ABLE TO. PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO
THE JUDGE NOW OBVIOUSLY THE
DA'S ASSOCIATION BILLS IT TIES
THEIR HANDS HOWEVER WE DID HEAR
FROM JUDGE ESPINOZA WHO ALONG
WITH JUSTICE CARLOS MORENO
JUSTICE CARLOS MORENO WAS
FORMER CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE. BOTH TO SERVE ON THE
COMMITTEE AND BOTH TO HELP TO
DRAFT THIS THEY FELT THAT THIS
WAS THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO GO
FOR JUDGES. AND WHEN WE LOOKED
AT ENHANCEMENTS THIS WAS THE
KEY RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE
COMMITTEE MADE VERSUS MANY
OTHERS THAT WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO CONTEMPLATE. AND THEY
BELIEVE THAT IT DID STILL
PROVIDE DISCRETION TO THE
JUDGE- BECAUSE IN THE IF I WANT
TO USE THE DIRECTOR OF AN
EXAMPLE AND IT'S HARD BECAUSE
I'M NOT THE JUDGE IN THAT CASE
NOR WAS I THE JURY SO I CAN'T I
CAN ONLY PURPORT. TO SAY WHAT I
THINK EITHER HIS CHARACTER IS
OR HIS MOTIVATION HOWEVER. THAT
JUDGE. MAY DETERMINATION RIGHT
SO IN IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES WITH
THIS BILL IF THE JUDGE IN SUCH
A CIRCUMSTANCE FELT THAT IT WAS
THE FURTHERANCE OF PUBLIC
SAFETY TO ADD ENHANCEMENTS TO
THE SENTENCE OF SOMEONE LIKE MR
CHILDREN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO-
SO THAT'S REALLY THE PURPOSE OF
THE BILL AND- WHAT I WOULD NOTE
IS THAT. THE DA ASSOCIATION IS
OPPOSED TO EVERY ENHANCEMENT
BILL THAT IS ON THAT IS BEING
PROPOSED THIS YEAR AND HAS BEEN
IN THE PAST- I WOULD WELCOME
SOME CONSTRUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS
HOWEVER AND I'M NOT LOOKING.
THEY HAVE A CERTAIN ROLE- SO
WHAT THEY ARE YOU KNOW. WHETHER
THEY WOULD CONSTRUCT SOMETHING
VERY DIFFERENTLY OR EVEN
ENTERTAINED SOMETHING DIFFERENT
THIS I CAN'T REALLY SAY HOWEVER
IT IS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE HAVING
BEEN CHAIR OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR
FOUR YEARS IN THE SENATE. AND
SERVED ON IT FOR MANY MANY MORE
YEARS IT IS NOT EVER BEEN
THERE'S NOT BEEN A SINGLE. BILL
REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF
ENHANCEMENTS MEANING TO EITHER-
AB PUT GUARDRAILS ON THEM
ELIMINATE THEM OR OTHERWISE
THAT I'VE SEEN THE DA
ASSOCIATION SUPPORT- AGAIN THAT
DOESN'T NECESSARILY- INDICATE
THE MERIT OR NON MERIT OF THEIR
ARGUMENT ANYONE CASE I JUST
MEAN THAT IT IS. IT WOULD BE
MORE HELPFUL FOR MANY OF US IF
WE HAD KEPT THE CONSTRUCTIVE
SUGGESTIONS- BUT I THINK THE
BILL IS SOUND AND AS I
INDICATED I ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEES MMS. AND I WOULD ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE. IT THANK YOU
AND- THE DISHES THIS IS
INTERESTING I USED TO BE ABLE
TO SAY. THAT I'M PROBABLY THE
LONGEST SERVING MEMBER IN THE
LEGISLATURE DAN DID I SEE YOU.
AND I HAVE TO STAND CORRECTED
SOMEONE WHO SERVED WITH YOU IN
THE ASSEMBLY ON THIS COMMITTEE
YES- WE REMEMBER BACK WHEN I
KNOW WHEN I CAME IN TWENTY
TWELVE. WE'RE VERY SUSPICIOUS
OF JUDGES BECAUSE THEY HAD BEEN
TO THREE STRIKES MANDATORY
MINIMUMS AND THAT'S WHAT THEY
GAVE UP THEY GAVE IT OUT LIKE
CANDY AND POPCORN JUST JUST
GIVING IT AND WE DID TRUST.
JUDGES HAVE DISCRETION. I THINK
WE WERE VERY HARD. TO KIND OF
CHANGE THE ATTITUDE IN THE MAKE
UP OF JUDICIAL SYSTEM. TO PROVE
THAT LOOK WHERE WE ARE NOW
YOU'RE- YOU'RE TRYING TO GIVE
JUDGES MORE DISCRETION. SO THAT
THEY CAN MAKE MORE INFORMED
DECISIONS ABOUT WHAT TO DO. AND
AS I READ HERE THE BILL. HAS
WHAT IT SAYS THIS BILL WOULD
EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED. REQUIRE
COURT DISMISSED AN ENHANCEMENT
IF. IT IS IN THE FURTHERANCE OF
JUSTICE TO DO SO. THE BILL
WOULD CREATE A PRESUMPTION THAT
IS IT IS IT IS IN THE
FURTHERANCE OF JUSTICE TO
DISMISS AN ENHANCEMENT IS
SPECIFIED CIRCUMSTANCES. THE
BILL WITH STATE. THAT THIS
PRESUMPTION IS ONLY OVERCOME
UPON A SHOWING BY CLEAR. AND
CONVINCING EVIDENCE THAT
DISMISSAL OF THE ENHANCEMENT
WOULD ENDANGER PUBLIC SAFETY SO
IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATIC IS NOT IT
YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE TO HAVE
BECAUSE IN REASON AND FOR THAT
REASON I'M SUPPORTING THE BILL-
I THINK IT DEMONSTRATES WHERE
WE ARE TODAY. AND THE FACT THAT
OTHERS DO NOT WANT TO GIVE
JUDGES WERE AFRAID TO GIVE
JUDGES DISCRETION- SHOWS YOU
HOW SUCCESSFUL WE'VE BEEN. OVER
A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO TRY TO
CHANGE THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM AT THE JUDICIAL LEVEL
AND WE JUST STILL HAVE A LONG
WAY TO GO WITH THE REST OF THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. SO THE
JUDGE RECOMMENDED I BOOKED. THE
BILL'S BEEN PROPERLY MOVED AND
SECONDED ON SB EIGHTY ONE BY
SENATOR SKINNER THE MISSION IS
TO PASS AS AMENDED TO THE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE JONES

THANK YOU AND I WILL NOT
PROLONG THE DISCUSSION SINCE
THIS IS PRETTY MUCH THE
IDENTICAL BILL THAT WENT OFF
YOUR FLOOR WITH FIFTY FOUR
VOTES- LAST SESSION BUT ON ITS
WAY TO THE SENATE BECAUSE OF
THE TIME DEADLINE. IT WAS WE
WERE NOT ABLE TO TAKE IT OFF SO
I'VE RE INTRODUCED IT AND- I

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE SB
SIXTEEN OF A MODEST PROPOSAL
BUT ADDRESSES THE PROBLEMS
FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE PUBLIC
HAVE ENCOUNTERED IN ACCESSING
POLICE MISCONDUCT RECORDS UNDER
SENATOR SKINNER'S LANDMARK BILL
SB FOURTEEN TWENTY ONE. FOR
FORTY YEARS RECORDS OF SERIOUS
MISCONDUCT BY POLICE WERE KEPT
SECRET AND HIDDEN FROM THE
PUBLIC. CENTER SKINNER'S BILL
RESTORED THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO
KNOW ABOUT SERIOUS MISCONDUCT
BY POLICE. IMMEDIATELY FAMILY
MEMBERS REPORTERS AND THE
PUBLIC REQUESTED RECORDS AND
IMMEDIATELY THEY ENCOUNTERED
SERIOUS ROADBLOCKS. DEPARTMENT
DESTROYED RECORDS WHICH THEY
ARE LEGALLY PERMITTED TO DO
UNDER CURRENT LAW. DEPARTMENTS
USE ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE
TO PREVENT THE FACTUAL
DISCLOSURE THAT DISCLOSURE OF
FACTUAL STATEMENTS BY WITNESSES.
FAMILIES WERE CHARGED THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS FOR QUOTE COPYING
FEES FOR RECORDS THAT ARE KEPT
IN DIGITAL FORM THAT CAN BE
EASILY DUPLICATED. OFFICERS
RESIGNED TO BLOCK DISCLOSURE.
RIGHT AWAY FOR WEEKS MONTHS
EVEN MORE THAN A YEAR BEFORE
DISPOSING RECORDS. SB SIXTEEN
ASSEMBLY REMOVES THESE
ROADBLOCKS AND MAKE MEANINGFUL
THE PUBLIC'S RIGHT TO KNOW
ABOUT SERIOUS MISCONDUCT BY
POLICE AS THE LEGISLATURE
INTENDED. SB SIXTEEN ALSO
PROVIDES A MODEST EXPANSION OF
PUBLIC ACCESS TO CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT RECORDS SPECIFICALLY
AT THE SIXTEEN ALLOWS PUBLIC
ACCESS TO SUSTAIN TO COMPLAINTS
OF BIAS AND PREJUDICE BY AN
OFFICER. FIFTEEN COMPLAINTS OF
ILLEGAL SEARCHES OR ARRESTS.
AND COMPLAINTS OF EXCESSIVE USE
OF FORCE WHICH ARE CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT FOR PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
SB SIXTEEN IS A MODEST PROPOSAL
TO ENSURE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS
ACCESS TO INFORMATION. AND IS
ABLE TO ASSESS WHETHER POLICE
DEPARTMENTS ARE TAKING
MISCONDUCT SERIOUSLY. THIS IS
AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD TO
BUILD TRUST BETWEEN COMMUNITIES

SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION RECENTLY
MOVING FROM OPPOSED TO OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED. WE APPRECIATE
THE AUTHOR'S EFFORTS THUS FAR
TO CRAFT THE BILL- WE WOULDN'T
KNOW THAT- SB FOURTEEN TWENTY
ONE MADE SPECIFIED RECORDS
AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE
BUT MAINLY LIMITED THE SCOPE OF
WHAT COULD BE RELEASED. TO
RECORDS RELATING TO USES OF
FORCE THAT RESULTED IN DEATH OR
GREAT BODILY INJURY OR OTHER
SITUATIONS IN WHICH A COMPLAINT
OF WRONGDOING HAD BEEN
SUSTAINED. SB SIXTEEN EXPANDS
THE RECORDS ON USE OF FORCE
ALLEGATIONS THAT CAN BE
RELEASED TO INCLUDE COMPLAINTS
THAT ALLEGE UNREASONABLE OR
EXCESSIVE FORCE. FURTHER THE
BILL LANGUAGE PROVIDING THAT
THE ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE
SHALL NOT BE ASSERTED TO LIMIT
THE DISCLOSURE OF FACTUAL
INFORMATION IS UNNECESSARY. AND
COULD UNDERMINE EFFECTIVE
REPRESENTATION OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS BY THEIR COUNSEL.
UNDER EXISTING CASE LAW
GENERALLY SPEAKING INFORMATION
THAT IS NOT OTHERWISE PRIVILEGE
DOES NOT BECOME PRIVILEGE
SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS
COMMUNICATED TO AN ATTORNEY.
ADDITIONALLY PERMITTING
DISCLOSURE OF BILLING RECORDS
LITIGATION UNFOLDS KALAU PLAN
IS TO DETERMINE WHERE THE
ATTORNEYS REPRESENTING THE
MUNICIPALITY IS FOCUSING HIS OR
HER EFFORTS ON DEFENSE.
INCLUDING WHAT SERIES OR
DEFENSES THEY INTEND TO PURSUE.
AGAIN WE APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS TAKEN TO REMOVE
PROVISIONS RELATED TO CIVIL
FINES IN THE ABILITY TO SEE
COSTS AND ATTORNEYS FEES. AND
IF THE BILL WERE FURTHER
REMANDED TWO ONE LIMIT THE NEW
USE OF FORCE PROVISION
DESCRIBED ABOVE. TO PERMIT
DISCLOSURE OF RECORDS RELATING
TO AN INCIDENT INVOLVING A
SUSTAINED FINDING EXCESSIVE
FORCE. AND TO REMOVE THE
LANGUAGE RELATIVE TO THE
ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE CSSA

LETTER THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
YEAH. TRANSACTION. CALLING IT'S
SHOWING NO FOR THE LINE QUEUED
UP IN OPPOSITION AS CHAIR.
THANK YOU BRING IT BACK TO
COMMITTEE FOR ANY COMMENTS OR
DISCUSSIONS MISTER QUESTIONS
YEAH I. I'D LIKE THIS TO BE A
VERY- DIFFICULT BILL FOR ME TO
WORK THROUGH- BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT WANT TO LOOK LIKE I'M
TRYING TO PROTECT. UNSCRUPULOUS
AND- PROBLEMATIC. AND OFFICERS
WHO HAVE- ENGAGED IN MISCONDUCT
BUT I STILL HAVE A FEW CONCERNS
THAT WERE. EXPRESSED BY SOME OF
THE OPPOSITION. SO I'M GONNA
LAUGH TODAY AND HOPING THAT YOU
WILL WORK WITH THOSE PEOPLE.
AND GET THE AMENDMENTS TO WHERE
I THINK. IT'S ACCEPTABLE SO
THAT IT'S NOT UNFAIRLY.
TARGETING OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T
DESERVE TO BE UNFAIRLY TARGETED
AND SO. I'LL BE LAYING OFF
TODAY IN HOPES THAT I MIGHT BE
ABLE TO GET TO WHERE I COULD
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. IN MORE.
THE QUESTION IS A QUESTION. YOU
YOU MAY CLOSE Q. I KNOW YOU'VE
HAD A LONG DAY WHICH IS WHY
DIDN'T EXPLAIN A LOT OF THE
BILL BUT BASICALLY IT'S- A
LIMITED EXPANSION OF. PUBLIC
ACCESS TO SOME RECORDS ON A SET
OF- CONDUCT BY OFFICERS WHICH-
THE- ARE WITNESSING SUPPORT
ARTICULATED AND THESE ARE IN
ALL CASES BUT ONE SUSTAIN
FINDINGS. SO THEY MUST BE THE
OFFICERS CONDUCT MUST HAVE BEEN
INVESTIGATED AND SUSTAIN BEFORE
THESE RCORDS WOULD BE
RELEASED. NO MY THE BILL WHEN
IT PASSED LAST YEAR. HAD VERY
HIGH FINES ON WEEK BECAUSE WE
EXPERIENCED WHEN FOR AFTER
FOURTEEN TWENTY ONE WAS PASSED
THAT MANY CITIES REALLY
DIRECTOR FEET THERE ARE STILL
JURISDICTIONS THAT HAVE NOT
RELEASED RECORDS. SO WE ADDED
SOME FINES AND WE'RE GOING TO
ADD ATTORNEY'S FEES BUT WE
REMOVED TO THOSE. IN THE SENATE
APPROACH BECAUSE WE REALIZE
THAT. WHILE WE WANT TO INCREASE
ENFORCEMENT IT WOULD STILL
REQUIRE SOMEONE TO TAKE THE
JURISDICTION OF COURT AND SO
REALLY WHAT WE'RE REALLY TRYING
TO DO IS ACHIEVE GOOD WELL. AND
WE KNOW THAT- WHAT HAPPENED
WITH FOURTEEN TWENTY ONE IST
WHEN IT WENT INTO EFFECT THERE
WAS A FLOOD OF REQUESTS RIGHT
IN THE BEGINNING OF JANUARY AND
IT WAS A LOT OF WORK FOR THE
JURISDICTION SO IF YOU NOTICE
WHAT OF. THE AMENDMENTS I ALSO
TOOK IS THAT I'VE DELAYED. THAT
THERE'S NO TIME LIMITATIONS ARE
PENALTIES BETWEEN. TWENTY
JANUARY ONE TWENTY TWENTY TWO
IN JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY
THREE SO THAT AGENCIES HAVE A
FOUR YEAR DEAL GET THE REQUEST
OPTED TO REQUEST WILL COME IN
IF THE BILL SIGNED. THE
REQUESTS FOR THESE RECORDS WILL
GET SUBMITTED HOWEVER THEY
DON'T HAVE TO JUST TURN AROUND
AND THIRTY DAYS. AND RELEASE
THEM SO WE FELT THAT THAT WAS
MORE THAN FAIR. AND MOST
RECORDS ARE NOW DIGITAL SO MANY
OF THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
STORAGE WE HAD LESS WE FELT
WERE NOT AS GREAT OF MERIT.
AND- THE IS WHY THE POLICE
CHIEFS NOW SUPPORT AND MOST LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES ARE
NEUTRAL ON THE BILL NOT A IN
OPPOSITION AND IF WE COMPARE
THAT TO THE FIRST SET OF
RECORDS WE TRIED TO THE FIRST
BILL. THERE WAS GREAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT OPPOSITION SO I
THINK WE'VE MOVED. A LOT NOT
JUST ME BUT ALSO. PARTNERS AND-
OUR PUBLIC ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT

WITH THEY'VE RAISED- BUT FOR
TODAY I WOULD ASK YOUR AYE VOTE

SOUND. AND I'M TAKING THE
COMMITTEES- THE AMENDMENTS.

WHISTLE BLOWER CLARIFICATION

MISCONDUCT REGARDING BIAS AND
PREJUDICE MUST BE SUSTAINED THE

LAST. SENATE BILL COULD YOU ADD

SEVEN STERN- HOPEFULLY HE GETS
HERE. RIGHT NOW COME TO PUT
COME TO RUSSIA YOUR TURN. MOVE
THE BILL THANK. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR PATIENCE WE NEED THE-
WHITE THINGS DOWN IN. OKAY
GREAT. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
I'LL BE BRIEF- I DON'T THINK
THIS BILL IS GOING TO FIX THE
ENTIRE MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
GOING ON- FOR INCARCERATED
CALIFORNIANS I AM NOT UNDER.
ANY ILLUSION THAT- THERE'S
GOING TO BE ONE OF SILVER
BULLET TO SOLVING THESE CRISES
BUT- IN THE COUNTY OF LOS
ANGELES- AND WITH OUR PUBLIC
DEFENDERS I THINK THIS BILL
PRESENTS. A REALLY IMPORTANT
FRAMEWORK TO ENSURE THAT THOSE
DEFENDANTS WHO ARE JUDGED TO BE
INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL AND
THEN ESSENTIALLY CIVILLY
CONFINED DURING THAT PROCESS
AND HOSPITALIZATION OR OTHER.
TREATMENT PROGRAMS THAT THAT'S
NOT COUNTED AGAINST THEM- THOSE
FACILITIES INTO ACCOUNT AND
HOPEFULLY- WE CAN FIND BETTER
WAYS TO USE THAT KIND OF
TREATMENT- AND NOT TRY TO DO
MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN OUR JAILS
WE'RE JUST NOT WORKING- I ALSO
WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE. I KNOW
THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT-
SCOPE- AND CLARITY- IN TERMS OF
THE- WHAT THE- THEIR WHAT WHAT
KIND OF- TRIALS THIS WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE FOR- WE WANT TO
CLARIFY IN THE BILL THAT THE
SERVICES CAN ONLY BE ORDERED IF
THE COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS ALREADY HAVE
SERVICES AND ARE WILLING TO
ACCEPT THE DEFENDANT. WE ALSO
WANT TO AUTHORIZE THE COURTS TO
REFER. INCOMPETENT DEFENDANTS
TO A UP TO ASSISTED OUTPATIENT
TREATMENT. UNDER LAURA'S LAW.
AND PROVIDING SOME KIND OF
MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN ST
DIVERSION AND THEN
CONSERVATORSHIP- AND THEN ALSO
TO INCLUDE TIMELINES THAT
ENSURE SPEEDY ACCESS TO
TREATMENT AND LIMIT. UNDUE
PERIODS OF INCARCERATION FOR
PEOPLE CHARGED WITH
MISDEMEANORS WHO ARE COMPETENT
TO STAND TRIAL AND JUST TO BE
CLEAR MEMBERS THIS IS. INTENDED
JUST TO BE ABOUT MISDEMEANORS
HERE WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT-
OTHER CRIMES SO- IF THAT'S
NEEDED TO BE CLARIFIED AS WELL.
I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT- AND I
RICARDO GARCIA HERE L. A.

WANT TO MAYBE GET IT WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT. EVERY YES HELLO OKAY
GREAT GOOD AFTERNOON AND- THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TO YOU TODAY. AND THANK
YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED
DILIGENTLY TO BRING GREATER
DIGNITY AND EQUITY TO THE JERRY
VOLATILE POPULATION. I AM
RICARDO GARCIA THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER. BRADLEY
READ THE LARGEST AND OLDEST
PUBLIC DEFENDER OFFICE IN THE
NATION. AND I'VE BEEN WITH OVER
TWENTY FIVE YEARS- MY CAREER
DEFENDING THE VERY PEOPLE THAT
THE BILL WOULD SEEK TO PROTECT.
THE MODEL NUMBER THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC DEFENDERS ASSOCIATION.
SENATE BILL THREE SEVENTEEN.
WILL ENSURE THE PRESUMED
INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO WERE
DETAINED IN THE STATE HOSPITAL
FOR OTHER MANDATORY DETENTION
BECAUSE OF MENTAL ILLNESS. ST
CUSTODY CREDITS. PER UNIT IN
PEOPLE. INCARCERATED IN COUNTY
JAIL. CURTAIN ALL CONDUCT
CLINICS PEOPLE WHO ARE
INVOLUNTARILY CARS GRANT
PRETRIAL. CREDITS ARE OFTEN THE
ONLY BENEFIT OF COMPOUND
INCARCERATION. HOWEVER EACH
YEAR APPROXIMATELY TWO THOUSAND
THIS TWO THOUSAND PRESUMED
INNOCENT PEOPLE WITH SEVERE
MENTAL ILLNESS WHO ARE DETAINED
PRE TRIAL BECAUSE OF THEIR
MENTAL ILLNESS ARE NOT AWARDED
THE SAME CREDIT. REPORTER ON
SECOND. FOR THE LOG TODAY
PUNISHES CALIFORNIANS SUFFERING
FROM A MENTAL ILLNESS MORE
HEAVILY USED SEVERELY THAN
THOSE CORE NOT ONLY BECAUSE
THEY ARE MENTALLY ILL. BECAUSE
PRACTICE FURTHER PUNISHES
CONDUCT THAT IS THE PRODUCT OF
MENTAL ILLNESS. TO RESPOND JUST
AND HUMANE. WE MUST CREATE AND
HELP PEOPLE SUFFERING FROM
MENTAL ILLNESS NOT PUNISH THE-
THEY SHOULD NOT BE KEPT IN A
CAGE. HOWEVER IF THE MENTALLY
ILL ARE HELD AGAINST THEIR WILL
THEY SHOULD RECEIVE THE SAME
CREDITED PEOPLE HELD WITHOUT
SEVERE MENTAL ILLNESS. SORRY
AFTER STUDY SHOWS THAT JUGGLING
THE MENTALLY ILL AND DANGEROUS
IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH.
INCARCERATION CAUSES PEOPLE
WITH MENTAL ILLNESS TO BE
COMPENSATE AND FACE MORE SEVERE
COMPLICATIONS INDICATIONS AND
LIVES INCLUDING THE INCREASED
LIKELIHOOD OF A REAL SENSE. THE
CURRENT LAW IS ALSO FISCALLY
IMPRUDENT. TAXPAYERS IN
CALIFORNIA MUST PAY THE EXTRA
IN CONSULTATION COST FOR
MENTALLY ILL PERSON SIMPLY
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT GET THE
SAME CONDUCT CREDITS AS OTHERS.
SB THREE ONE SEVEN WILL CLARIFY
THE COMBAT CREDIT STATUTE. TO
ENSURE THAT PEOPLE WHO BECAUSE
OF THEIR MENTAL ILLNESS SPEND
THEIR PRE TELL TIME
INCARCERATED IN STATE HOSPITAL
OR OTHER AS I SAID MENTAL
MANDATORY RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT
FACILITY RECEIVED THE SAME
CREDITS AT EVERYONE ELSE. IT IS
CRITICAL THAT WE PROTECT
INDIVIDUALS IN VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS WHOSE CONDUCT IS
THE PRODUCT OF THEIR MENTAL
ILLNESS. WE MUST TREAT PEOPLE
WITH MENTAL ILLNESS WITH THE
SAME CARE AND COMPASSION WE
TREAT ANYONE WITH A MEDICAL
CONDITION. PERHAPS EVEN MORE SO
I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY
NAME IS STEPHANIE REGULAR AND A
BOARD MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC DEFENDER ASSOCIATION A
CO SPONSOR SB THREE SEVENTEEN.
I'VE ALSO BEEN A PUBLIC
DEFENDER FOR TWENTY YEARS AND
THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC
DEFENDER MENTAL HEALTH UNIT FOR
THE PAST TEN YEARS. DESPITE
INNOVATIVE REFORM EFFORTS BY
THE LEGISLATURE. TO DIVERT
INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM
MENTAL ILLNESS FROM CRIMINAL
LEGAL SYSTEM. THOSE WERE
CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANOR. FOUND
INCOMPETENT TO STAND TRIAL.
REMAINER JAILED IN STATE
HOSPITAL THAT. I THINK THE SAME
PEOPLE YEAR AFTER YEAR AND I
THINK THE CALL THAT
HOMELESSNESS REPEAT
INCARCERATIONS AND ENACT IN
ADEQUATE ACCESS TO TREATMENT
HAS ON THEIR PHYSICAL AND
MENTAL HEALTH. UNDER EXISTING
LAW THE COUNTIES ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR INDIVIDUALS
CHARGED WITH MISDEMEANORS WERE
FOUND INCOMPETENT TO STAND
TRIAL. IN THE COUNTY PRESS
DEDICATE THEIR ONLY. TO COMPANY
COMPETENCY RESTORATION. THESE
RESTORATION SERVICES RANGE FROM
COUNTY TO COUNTY WITH A FOCUS
ON SHORT TERM STABILITY RATHER
THAN LONG TERM SOLUTIONS. I'M
COUNTY USE THEIR COSTLY
INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC BEDS FOR
RESTORATION. OTHER COUNTIES
COMMITTEES AND VIGILS CHARGED
WITH MISDEMEANORS TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF STATE HOSPITALS
DESPITE THE FOURTEEN HUNDRED
PERSON WAITLIST AND DAILY COST
OF SIX HUNDRED TWENTY SIX
DOLLARS BUT THAT. AND MANY
COUNTY HOW THESE INDIVIDUALS IN
THE JAIL AND HOW THEY REACHED
THE END OF THEIR COMMITMENT.
WHAT IS STABILIZED AND COUNTY
INPATIENT BAD. RESTORED AND THE
STATE HOSPITAL ARE MAXED OUT IN
THE COUNTY JAIL. IN THE END
THESE PEOPLE ARE ALL TYPICALLY
RELIEF TO THE STREET. WITH NO
CONTINUITY OF CARE. THIRTEEN
SEVENTY POINT OH ONE AS
CURRENTLY WRITTEN. DID NOT
IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR
INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM
MENTAL ILLNESS. BUT THIS BILL
CAN. THIS BILL AUTHORED COURTS
TO FLEXIBILITY TO EXISTING
DIVERSION PROGRAM ALLAFRICA
COURT AND OTHER COMMUNITY BASED
TREATMENT OPTIONS TO TREAT
RATHER THAN INCARCERATED
HEARTRATE MISDEMEANOR OFFERING
SOME SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS.
AND THIS BILL ALLOWS CHINESE

FOCUS ON EVIDENCE BASED
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SOLUTIONS. WE

FIRST OF ALL I'M I'M QUITE
SYMPATHETIC TO WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS
BILL AND I DON'T THINK THESE UP
PROPOSED PROCEDURES ARE
APPROPRIATE FOR FELONS. AND IT
WOULD RAISE CONFUSION ABOUT HOW
THE NEW LANGUAGE INTERACTS WITH
OTHER LAWS THAT THEY APPLY IN
FELONY CASES. WHAT I'M WANTING
TO KNOW IS. IF YOU'RE OPEN TO
AMENDING THE BILL AFTER IT
LEAVES COMMITTEE TO CLARIFY
THAT- SECTION THIRTEEN SEVENTY
POINT ZERO ONE ONLY APPLIES. IF
THE DEFENDANT IS CHARGED WITH
COMMITTING A MISDEMEANOR
OFFENSE. EIGHT YES I AM. THEN
