BILLS THANK. I THANK YOU HELLO.
GOOD MORNING- CHAIR MEMBERS
CAROLINE CHIU FROM LA- WE ARE
HERE AND AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS
. THANK YOU. LET'S GO TO THE
COMMITTEE IN THE COMMENTS MR
FALL. I THANK YOU AS CHAIR I'LL
JUST RUN THROUGH ALL THE- THE
BILL'S AND AS ALL MY QUESTIONS-
THAT WAY- ON- STARTING WITH AB
EIGHTY FOUR OR- SB ONE THIRTEEN-
SO PRIOR TO RACE IT'S IN THIS
DEPARTMENT FINANCE VIBRATIONS OF
THIS- PAID SICK LEAVE WERE
SUPPORTED BY FEDERAL TAX
CREDITS- TO HELP EMPLOYERS.
OFFSET THE COST OF ABSENT
EMPLOYEES AND THAT FEDERAL TAX
CREDIT HAS EXPIRED- IN THIS
PROPOSAL IMPOSES A NEW PAID SICK
LEAVE MANDATE- WITHOUT- THE
FINANCIAL SUPPORT ON THE FEDERAL
SIDE WITH THE STATE SIDE WAYS
THEIR CONVERSATIONS. ABOUT
PROVIDING THE STATE A STATE TAX
CREDIT TO OFFSET THE COSTS.
THANKS FOR BONTA ACQUISITION- IS
SO YOU'RE RIGHT THIS THE CURRENT
ITERATION OF PAID SICK LEAVE
DOES NOT INCLUDE- AIMS. AT ITS
THAT CREDIT WAS PROVIDED BY THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT- AND NOT THE
STATE IN THE PRIOR ITERATION-
AND I THINK SOME OF THE
CONSIDERATIONS THAT- ARE ON THE
TABLE ARE JUST THE DIFFICULT IN
REGARDS IMPLEMENTATION AS WELL
AS THE POTENTIAL COSTS. SO THOSE
ARE THINGS THAT ARE. YOU KNOW
THAT THAT IS NOT ROOTED IN THIS
PROPOSAL BUT I WOULD JUST ADD
THAT THSE ARE SOME ISSUES FOR
CONSIDERATION. WELL I THINK
THAT'S THE BROADER QUESTION
RIGHT I MEAN I'M A EMPLOYERS I
MEAN THEY'RE THEY'RE IN THE SAME
ENVIRONMENT AS AS EMPLOYEES OF
THE ON THE CRIME THE THAT THE
WORKFORCE CHALLENGES- MEAN WAS
WHAT WAS THE COST- IT WOULD IS
IT WAS THERE AND ALICE'S SON ON.
QUOTE UNQUOTE THE COSTS THE
FED'S INCA ANCHORED THE
PREFERRED THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED
IN THE PROTEST CREDIT. WHAT HOW
MUCH THAT WAS AND COULD WE- DO
THE SAME INVESTMENT IN THE STATE
SIDE MADE WE HAVE THOSE NUMBERS
. THERE IS NO SUCH STUDY TO MY
KNOWLEDGE. SIGN ON THE COST TO
PRIVATE EMPLOYERS AS A RESULT OF
THAT- TAX CREDIT. MAYBE I CAN AS
THE L. A. L. IT WAS THERE WAS
THERE DO YOU HAVE AN A AN
ESTIMATE ON WHAT THE **** BUT
THE FISCAL IMPACT WOULD BE A
CREATING A STATE CREDIT HAD TO
MAYOR THE FOR. THE EXPIRED
FEDERAL CREDIT. YES IT YEAH IN
RESPONSE TO A REQUEST FROM
BUDGET STAFF WE DID PUT TOGETHER
AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT A STATE TAX
CREDIT. TO COVER THE COSTS-
FACED Y EMPLOYERS COULD LOOK
LIKE. I WILL NOTE THAT THE
ESTIMATE IS SUBJECT TO A FAIR
AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY- GIVEN THE
VARIOUS FACTORS THAT WE HAVE TO
CONSIDER AND I CAN GET SOME
MILES ON JUST A SECOND. WE BASE
OUR ESTIMATES OVERALL ON. A
STUDY OF WHAT THE FEDERAL. TAX
CREDIT COSTS BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF THE TREASURY. OUR ESTIMATES
FOR THAT EIGHT TAX CREDIT AT THE
STATE LEVEL- TO- STARTED BEING
OF THE YEAR TO SEPTEMBER. COST
BETWEEN FIVE HUNDRED MILLION AND
ONE POINT FOUR BILLION DOLLARS
TO THE STATE. IMPORTANTLY WE
CREATED THESE. ESTIMATES BEFORE
THE BILL WAS AND PRINT- AND SO
THOSE THESE ESTIMATES MAY NOT
ALIGN PERFECTLY. WITH THE
PARAMETERS OF THE BILL. ALSO
NOTE THAT ARE ESTIMATES ARE
CREDIT ON A NUMBER OF
ASSUMPTIONS INCLUDING HOW MANY
EMPLOYERS- PROVIDED THE SICK
LEAVE PRIOR TO THE ENACTMENT OF
THE BILL IN THERE FOR WOULD
CLAIM. THE CREDIT DURING THE
PEAK OF THE SEARCH. I IN JANUARY
AND FEBRUARY JUST I JANUARY-
AND ALSO DEPENDENT ON. IF YOU
READ HISTORY AT PRECEDING THE
REST OF THE YEAR SO IT SO IT IS
QUITE VARIABLE BUT SAID TO SUM
UP WE DID WE DID RUN LAST NIGHT
AND- CAME UP WITH BETWEEN FIVE
HUNDRED MILLION MONTHLY FOR
BILLIONS. SO GOING BACK TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. IS I JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET THIS
CORRECTLY RIGHT LEG WE
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING THE
- LET'S STIPULATE THAT THE
RANGERS FIVE HUNDRED MILLION TO
ONE POINT FOUR BILLION- THAT
COSTS WOULD BE INCURRED BY.
EMPLOYERS IN CALIFORNIA WITH NO
OFFSET. HAVING NOT SEEN THE L.
A. ANALYSIS I'M I AM NOT SURE I
CAN RESPOND TO THAT I THINK THAT
THERE ARE LOTS OF VARIABLES TO
BE CONSIDERED. SHE STATED- AND
SO THE POTENTIAL CHANGE COULD BE
QUITE HIGH. WELL OKAY LOOK LET'S
JUST LET'S JUST MAKE THE TAKE A
STEP BACK AND SAY WITHOUT THERE
IS NO FEDERAL TAX CREDIT YOU
STIPULATED THAT. SO THE COST OF
THIS PROPOSAL WILL BE BORNE BY.
BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA WITH NO
OFFSET WHAT. SO THE BUSINESS'S
BLADE BEAR THAT I WOULD JUST ADD
THAT THERE ARE THERE IS AN
EXCEPTION INCLUDED IT WAS ALL
PART IN PLAYERS WITH UNDER-
TWENTY FIVE EMPLOYEES AND I
WOULD ALSO POINT TO MANY.
SUPPORTS THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED
AT THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL
LEVEL TO BUSINESS. INCLUDED IT'S
UP SOME OF THOSE SOME OF THOSE
ARE ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN THE
EARLY ACTION AS WELL AS THE
GOVERNOR HAS STATED THAT WE WILL
CONTINUE. TO LOOK FOR OTHER WAYS
IN WHICH SUPPORTS BUSINESSES
SMALL BUSINESSES IN PARTICULAR
THAT HAVE BEEN MOST IMPACTED BY
COULD BE NINETEEN. SHE WELL I
MEAN IF THE L. L. I KNOW WE'RE
JUST DISPUTING THAT THE NUMBERS
BUT THE ALEJO'S ANALYSIS WAS ON
WITH THE FEDERAL TAX CREDITS OF
THE EXEMPTION YOU WHAT WHERE YOU
GUYS ARE EXTENDING- THE PREVIOUS
IMAGE BASE IT IS IT IS THE
EXTENSION OF THE PREVIOUS- BILL
THAT WAS DONE LEGISLATURE. SO
THAT EXEMPTION ORDER EXISTS SO
WHATEVER CAUGHT SO WHATEVER COST
WAS INCURRED. IN THE PREVIOUS
BILL WOULD BE INCURRED AGAIN BUT
WOULD NOW WOULD KNOW OFFSET-
THAT IS CORRECT AND AGAIN I
WOULD POINT TO SOME OF THE OTHER
SUPPORTS ARE OUTSIDE. I'M THAT
WE ARE PROVIDING TO SMALL
BUSINESSES BUT YES THAT IS
CORRECT OKAY. I WAS ONE MAKE
SURE THAT THE THAT THE FUTURE OR
THE OTHER OR TAX RELIEF IS
APPLES TO ORANGES RIGHT IT'S NOT
IT'S NOT RELATED TO- THE OFFSET
OF THE COSTS. BUT JUMPING TO-
BUT BEFORE TO TALK ON THIS TOPIC
I THINK- WHEN THE SPEAKER THE
PRO TEM THE GOVERNOR SHOULD
STATEMENT- YOU KNOW WE AGREE
WITH YOUR- YOUR OINT AND WE
THINK THAT. AS PART OF OUR JUNE
BUDGET DISCUSSIONS THAT WE
SHOULD REALLY LOOK AT. SOME
POTENTIAL GRANTS OR TAX RELIEF I
IN PARTICULAR FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES BECAUSE WE ARE
CONCERNED. ABOUT THE POTENTIAL
IMPACT ON THOSE BUSINESSES SO I
THINK THAT- WHILE THAT'S NOT IN
THIS PACKAGE I THINK THE
ASSEMBLY DEFINITELY. I WANT TO
CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION IN THE
JUNE DISCUSSIONS- ESPECIALLY IN
REGARDS TO HAVING A VERY.
SPECIFIC FOCUS ON SMALL
BUSINESSES AND I APPRECIATE THE
COMMISSION THIS YEAR I THINK- HE
ACKNOWLEDGES AS WELL AS I THAT
WHAT WE'RE HEARING FROM THE
SMALL BUSINESSES WHO ARE
PERSEVERING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC
IS THAT. WE'RE PLACING THE
SECTOR THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS
PLACING MORE BURDENS ON THEM AND
THIS IS- A SIGNIFICANT COST
BURDEN THAT IT HAS NO OFFSET AND
I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M TYING
TO. TO FLUSH OUT- IN MY
QUESTIONING SO I BUT I CERTAINLY
APPRECIATE THAT- SEARCHER.
JUMPING TO- A ADS. SEVEN AND I'M
AB EIGHTY FOUR AND OF THE- I WAS
EIGHTY SEVEN THE ECONOMIC
RELIEF- THE PANDEMIC RELIEF- TO
THE FORMER FINANCE I MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE
ISN'T A FULL CONFORMITY WHEN IT
COMES TO- THE SHATTERED VENUES
GRANT PROGRAM. AS WELL AS- OTHER
PROGRAMS WITH- WITHIN THE PPP
PROGRAM- SPECIFICALLY THE
PAYCHECK PROTECTION. LOOK FOR
PROGRAM LOANS AFTER MARCH THIRTY
FIRST OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE- CAN
YOU GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION OF
WHY THERE ISN'T- FULL CONFORMITY
WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE PROGRAMS
. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M- SURE JUST
A NOTE THAT THAT- THAT GAP HAS
COME TO OUR ATTENTION RECENTLY
AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE
HAVE BEEN. DISCUSSING IT IS NOT
INCLUDED IN THIS EARLY ACTION
BUT- WE ARE AWARE OF THAT ISSUE
. OKAY SO THAT THERE IS A HOPE
OF ACTION IN THE FUTURE OF
ADDRESSING THAT GAP SO THAT
THERE IS- FOR CONFORMITY MY
CONCERN IS THAT- WE'RE TRYING TO
GET THIS. DONE BY THE MARCH
FIFTEENTH FILING OF TAXES BY BY
A LOT OF OUR- VENUES AND
BUSINESSES SO ITI JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT WE- WEAR A
KNOWLEDGE AND THAT THERE IS A
TIME A TIMING ISSUE. YES AGAIN
THAT THAT IS MORE MORE RECENTLY
BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION AND
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WILL
BRING IT BACK TO. DISK PROPER
DISCUSSIONS OKAY ON AB ONE FORTY
SEVEN- THE BUDGET BILL JUNIOR-
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF. FUNDS
GOING TO- PREVIOUSLY- APPROVE
CONTRACTS WELL THERE PROCEED NO
BID CONTRACTS- WHAT. WHAT IS THE
PRIMARY FINANCE DOING WHAT CAR
REALIZE YOU HAVE TO ENSURE THAT
THOSE DOLLARS ARE BEING SPENT
EFFECTIVELY. MR GOING ARE YOU
SPEAKING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT A
PARTICULAR CONTRACT. SUSPENSION
VALENCIA LAPS AND THE TO R.
SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS TO
OPERATE THAT I'M ASSUMING THAT
SOME OF THE COVERT RELIEF-
FUNDING REQUESTED BY THE
MINISTRATION IS TO GO TO FIND
THAT CONTRACT TO CONTINUE TO
FIND THAT CONTRACT- THAT IS
CORRECT- AT THE VOLUNTEER
CONTRACTED. I WOULD- POINT OUT A
FORTY FIVE DAY CLOUDS AND- YEAH
BUT EVERY EVERY IF- THAT VENDOR-IS FOUND TO BE NOT PERFORMING
THE STATE HAS A RIGHT TO
TERMINATE THAT CONTRACT WITH
FORTY FIVE DAY NOTICE I JUST
WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT THERE
THAT IS A GUARD RAIL- LIKE MANY
CONTRACTS AT THE STATE- PROCURE
IS. THERE ARE- PROTECTIONS SO
THAT THE STATE IS THAT HELD
LIABLE FOR- ISSUES WITH THE
VENDOR THAT IS JUST ONE THING.
I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT- IT'S NOT
MY AND AS WELL THAT THERE ARE
DISCUSSIONS- GOING ON RIGHT NOW
IN REGARDS TO OTHER CONTRACTS SO
JUST POINT THAT OUT. SO THEN HOW
DOES HOW DOES THE- PART OF
THOSE- GUARDRAILS OPERATE DOES
THE THERE'S A DEPARTMENT THEY
NOTIFY YOU THAT EVERY FORTY FIVE
DAYS OR I'M JUST I UNDERSTAND
LIKE. WHAT THIS THIS ONE POINT
NINE MILLION DOLLARS AND I KNOW
THAT THE CHAIR AND THE
LEGISLATURE HAS. PUSH FOR THIS
PROCESS- THE MOVING TO THE
BUDGET COMMITTEE FOR THIS VERY
REASON RIGHT THAT THERE NEEDS TO
BE TRANSPARENCY AND HOW WE- HELL
OUT THESE FUNDS ARE BEING
ALLOCATED NOW THEY'RE BEING USED
AND WHETHER THEY'RE BEING USED
EFFECTIVELY. AND WE'RE NOT USING
THE OTHER PROCESSES THAT WERE
DONE- DURING THE PANDEMIC SO I'M
JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I
OF THE ONE POINT NINE MILLION.
AND THAT IS WITH A B. WICKS WHAT
CHECK WHAT GUARDRAILS THERE ARE
THERE TO ENSURE THAT. IT'S NOT
BEING WASTED. I'M SURE IN
REGARDS TO PROCESS I WILL TURN
THAT QUESTION OVER TO ONE OF MY
COLLEAGUES- FOR SOME DETAILS.
NOVATEL WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE AND- THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE CAN TAKE BACK FOR A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION BUT
TO JUST REITERATE MISLEADS POINT
TO THERE ARE SPECIFIC GUARDRAILS
WITHIN THE CONTRACTS THAT ALLOW
THE DEPARTMENT TO TERMINATE THE
CONTRACT WITHIN FORTY FIVE DAYS.
WE'D ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT THE
DEPARTMENT IS ALSO. CURRENTLY IN
THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING OTHER
LABORATORIES INCLUDING THE UC
SYSTEM. FOR ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
IN TIMES WHEN WE NEED TO RAPIDLY
INCREASE OUR TESTING AND AS A
PATH EVENTUAL RELEASE FILES IN
THE EVENT WE DO UP TO TERMINATE
OUR CONTRACT WITH- THE VALENCIA
BRANDS LAB. OKAY BUT YOU'RE-
YOU'RE GIVING ME FUTURE ACTIONS
BUT WE'RE FINDING SOMETHING NOW.
SO WHAT IS THE ONE POINT NINE
BILLION BEING USED FOR. SO THE
ONE POINT NINE BILLION IS- AND
LET ME JUST POINT OUT THAT WE
ARE BRINGING THIS BEFORE YOU AS
PART OF A BUDGET PROCESS THAT
IT'S NOT GOING THROUGH- WHAT
THAT YOUR MENTION WAS A DISASTER
RESPONSE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS
ACCOUNT- OR THROUGH. JOINT
LEGISLATIVE BUDGET LETTER THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT WE- MIGHT TO
PROVIDE TRANSPARENCY TO THE
LEGISLATURE AND THEREFORE GOING
TO THE BUDGET PROCESS- BUT IN
REGARDS TO THE ONE POINT NINE
BILLION- IT IS LARGELY- THREE
DEPARTMENTS- I MENTIONED EARLIER
THAT. THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH HAS ABOUT ONE
POINT SIX BILLION- AND MUCH OF
THAT IS TO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR
CONTACT TRACING HOSPITAL MEDICAL
SEARCH OUR OWN STATE OPERATIONS.
STATE WRESTING VACCINE
DISTRIBUTION- SUPPORT FOR
VULNERABLE POPULATION SO THAT'S
THE LARGEST CHUNK OF THE ONE
POINT BILLION- ANOTHER TWO
HUNDRED. FOR THE CORRECTIONS THE
OF CORRECTIONS REHABILITATION
LARGELY FOR TESTING BOTH OF-
CRASHED INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS
AS- AND THEN THERE'S A HUNDRED
MILLION ON TOP OF THAT FOR THE
OPERATION- THE OFFICE OF
EMERGENCY- SERVICES AND THAT IS
LARGELY FOR P. P. SO THOSE ARE
THOSE ARE THE SPECIFIC.
CATEGORIES OF FUNDING THAT
REQUIRE QUESTING THAT IS IN
ADDITION TO THE ONE POINT FOUR
FIVE- ONE POINT SEVEN FIVE
BILLION THAT WAS IN THE CURRENT
YEAR. AND I JUST- I THINK PROVES
THE POINT OF HOW- HOW MUCH ALL
RIGHT WE DIDN'T KNOW ADD TO THAT
THE THAT BUDGET ACTS IN JULY
WHEN- THE BILL WHEN IT TOOK.
ADULTO WAS NOT THE MAY HAVE BEEN
ON HER EYES ON THE CRIME WAS NOT
- AND SO THIS IS. A THE STATE'S
RESPONSE. PUBLIC HEALTH. IN IT-
THAT HAVE LARGELY BEEN- EXPANDED
TO MORE INDIVIDUALS AND WE NEED
FOR THE SUPPORT FOR OUR VACCINE
EFFORTS. WELL IF YOU COULD
PROVIDE US WITH THAT LINE ITEM
I'D- SPECIFICALLY MAY I KNOW YOU
GIVEN HAS BROUGHT BUCKETS BUT IF
THERE'S A LINE ITEM THAT YOU CAN
GIVE US I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT%
I'VE I'VE BLOOD THE CHAIR FROM
MAKING THIS MAKING. THIS
PROPOSAL GO TO THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE SO THAT WE CAN GET
THOSE DETAILS I THINK THAT'S THE
VERY- THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR- THESE PROPOSALS
TO SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY SO THAT
WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING INTO IT
ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THAT HAVE GONE INTO NO BID
CONTRACTS THAT WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT THOSE GUARDRAILS ARE YOU
MENTION CARD REELS PLURAL BUT
YOU ONLY MENTION ONE GUARDRAIL
WHICH IS THE FORTY FIVE DAY
REVIEW SO THERE ARE OTHER
GUARDRAILS WE CERTAINLY LIKE TO
HEAR WHAT THOSE ARE- IN TERMS.
OF THE- THAT THE ONE HUNDRED
SEVENTY WILL- THE THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS TO ENSURE THESE- THIRTY
THESE FOR THIRTY MEGAWATT
GENERATORS THAT WERE PURCHASED
MEET- AIR QUALITY STANDARDS- I
GUESTS IS TO SAVE THE THIRTY
MILLION WOULD AND IT JUST MAKES
SENSE TO HAVE THE STATE AND THE
FEDERAL. I HAVE THE STATE ASK
FOR THE STATE AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO WAIVE- OR WAVE OR
ALLOW THESE- TO GET SOME WAIVERS
TO IT TO ENSURE THAT THESE MEGA
WATT GENERATORS ON COMPLIANCE.
YEAH FOR MORE SPECIFICS I'M NOT
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FONG I WILL TURN
OVER TO A COLLEAGUE. YEAH GOOD
MORNING TURN MEMBERS- THIRTY
RATHER PART OF FINANCE AT THOUGH
REALLY KIND OF THE CARD
GENERATOR IF YOU NATURAL GAS. AS
THOUGH. IT PORTANTINO THAT YOU
KIND OF ONE OF THE KEY GOALS.
WHEN WE PUT THE GENERATOR PRETTY
EMERGENT DURING THE SUMMER- WE
RECEIVED A WAIVER I'VE BECAUSE
WE DID NOT HAVE. HI I GOOD THE
PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
GENERATORS- WE'RE KIND OF UP TO
CODE IN TERMS OF MEETING
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS THOUGH I
THINK YOU KNOW WE'RE ALL
PREVENTATIVE TO AIR POLLUTION
NAY AND THOSE COMMUNITIES WHERE
THOSE GENERATORS ARE. AT THE BY
INSTALLING THE ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY EQUIPMENT ON THE
GENERATOR TO. HELP THE POOR- OUT
OF THEIR MEETING AIR QUALITY
REQUIREMENTS AND ALSO- BE
CREATING ANY KIND OF AIR. I WILL
REFRAIN MY RHETORICAL QUESTION
ABOUT WHY IN A TIME OF CRISIS
THE GOVERNOR WHILE CRITIQUING
NATURAL GAS IS BUYING NATURAL
GAS GENERATORS IN THE MIDDLE OF
AN EMERGENCY BUT- IT SEEMS TO ME
THAT- THERE AND THAT. YOU COULD
JUST ASK FOR THE EXTENSION OF
THE WAIVERS AND- SAVE THE STATE
THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS- JUMPING
TO- ACTUALLY WITH THE LAST
QUESTION ON ON THIS BILL IS THE
CREATION OF THIS CALIFORNIA
EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND. IS THERE
A REASON WHY WE'RE CREATING A
NEW PHONE AND INSTEAD OF JUST
USING THE EXISTING FUNDS TO
PROVIDE EMERGENCY RELIEF WHY WHY
CREATE THIS NEW RELIEF FUND.
SURE THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE
RELIEF FUND THAT WAS CREATED IN
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET OF THE
CURRENT YEAR'S BUDGET- FOR THE
GOLDEN STATE STIMULUS FUND. AND-
YOU KNOW THAT FUND WAS WAS
CREATED FOR A MARGIN SEE RELIEF
RELATED EXPENSES- AND THERE WERE
PROVISIONS AROUND THAT SO. IT
DIDN'T MAKE SENSE NECESSARILY TO
USE THAT SAME EMERGENCY FUND BUT
SIMILAR TO THAT INSTANCE WE'RE
BEING CONSISTENT WITH CURRENT
LAW AND THAT ACTIVITY FROM LAST
YEAR AND REALLY TRYING TO.
CREATE WE CREATED THIS EMERGENCY
FUND FOR EMERGENCY RELATED-
ACTIVITIES. SELECT YOUR C. Y.
JUST. ALLOCATED OTHER GENERAL
FUND WHY CREATE EMERGENCY FUND
AT ALL. HE TRACKED THE MONEY
EITHER WAY WHETHER IT COMES FROM
THE FUND OR THE GENERAL FUND WHY
NOT JUST ALLOCATED ON THE
GENERAL FUND. SURE AND THIS IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE ACTIONS
THAT- WE TOOK LAST YEAR THAT
THAT THE ADMINISTRATION PROPOSAL
LEGISLATURE UP STARTLED THE
LEGISLATURE AN ADMINISTRATION
PROPOSED LAST YEAR SO I JUST
WANT TO POINT THAT OUT AND WE
HAVE THE ADDED BENEFIT THAT THIS
COULD BE- IT SOUNDS LITTLE.
EXCLUDABLE AS WELL. SO YOU'RE
TRYING TO MOVE THESE FUNDS FROM.
THE CELL YEAH LIMIT- THAT'S A
POSSIBILITY. THAT COULD BENEFIT-
THE STATE IF THESE FUNDS ARE
PROVIDED THROUGH AN EMERGENCY
ACCOUNT. SO WHY WOULD YOU WANT
IT EXCLUDED- AT. IT IS IT
ACTUALLY IS EXCLUDED FROM THAT-
THE STATE'S- ALLOCATIONS AND
THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE AGAIN
LIMITS. BUT AGAIN WELL WHEN YOU
SAY BENEFIT I MADE THE IF IT'S
OVER THE GAMUT WE WOULD ARGUE
THAT IT SHOULD BE GIVEN BACK
RIGHT SO IF YOU EXCLUDE IT THAT
MEANS THAT MONEY DOESN'T HAVE TO
BE GIVEN BACK. TO THE TO THE
STATE TAXPAYERS OR TO. OTHER
INVESTMENTS. YES AND I WOULD
JUST GET HIGHLIGHTED THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE DID LAST YEAR
SO IT'S CONSISTENT WITH. BUT
CURRENT LAW AND THE ACTIONS
THAT- THIS MARCH OF LAST YEAR.
BUT OKAY WELL IT'S GETTING IT'S
CONSISTENT I FIND IT I OPENING
THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO EXCLUDE
CERTAIN SOMETHING FOR YOU TRYING
TO CREATE A FUND TO EXCLUDED OUT
OF SOMETHING THAT. PROBABLY
SHOULDN'T BE EXCLUDED- AND THEN
MY LAST QUESTION MOVING TO- AB
ONE THIRTY NINE- IS- HOW MAY OF
UP. FOR PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS
WILL NOW BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE-
THE FEDERAL GRANT FUNDING- FOR
REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT ASSISTANCE.
AND HOW WITH THE- NONPROFITS IN
COUNTIES BE PRIORITIZED FOR THIS
FUNDING. YES CAN I TURN THAT
QUESTION OVER TO A COLLEAGUE.
YES THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION
MR FONG THIS IS NOT A CLASSY-
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE-
AS YOU NOTED THE LANGUAGE
REQUIRES THAT THE DEPARTMENT TO-
PRIORITIZE COUNTY NONPROFITS IN
THIS ALLOCATION OF FUNDS- THIS
IS YOU KNOW CONSISTENT WITH
PREVIOUS APPROACH TO THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE IS ALREADY IN
PLACE- WE DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC
CENTRO NUMBER OF FOR PROFIT
PROVIDERS OR- ABOUT AND WE CAN
CERTAINLY WORK WITH THE
DEPARTMENT TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION AND DETAILS OKAY
WELL YOU SAID THERE'S
PRIORITIZATION SO HOW HOW YOU.
ARE YOU PRIORITIZING. AND WE'RE
HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP WITH
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON HOW
THE DEPARTMENT WOULD IMPLEMENT
THAT PRIORITIZATION. BUT WE'RE
VOTING ON THIS BILL ON MONDAY OR
NOT- TODAY I MADE HER VOTING ON
THIS WE WERE BEFORE VOTING ON
THIS BILL AND THAT COUPLE HOURS-
HOW ARE YOU GONNA TELL ME IN
ADVANCE. AFTER I BILL ON THE
BILL. FINALLY WELL IT'S TIME TO
GET AS MUCH INFORMATION TO YOU
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IN THE END
IN FACT DURING THIS YEAR I WILL
BE TRYING TO GET SOME OF THAT
INFORMATION OKAY I. I DON'T WANT
TO BELABOR THE CONVERSATION BUT
IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT.
WHERE WERE HEARING THESE BILLS
AND WE'RE VOTING THEM ON TODAY
BUT WE CAN'T GET ANY DETAILS
FROM THE ADMINISTRATION WHO
SUPPOSEDLY NEGOTIATED THESE
BILLS. AND SO THAT IS A BROADER
POINT I WOULD MAKE ON THE
PROCESS IS THAT. WE MAKE
DECISIONS ON IN PERFECT
INFORMATION ALL THE TIME YOU'RE
JUST NOT GIVING US ANY
INFORMATION AND THAT'S A PROBLEM. THAT WAS FOR SURE THE NAME
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
NOT NOT SEEING ANY OTHER MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE OKAY LET'S GO
TO PUBLIC COMMENT. YOU HAVE ONE
MINUTE PLEASE- TAKES. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR. WE HAVE THE
MICHAEL PLEASE. SEVEN THERE WE

CHAIRMAN BIRDS ARE A PART OF
MARTINEZ WITH THE CALIFORNIA
LABOR FEDERATION- HERE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF THE PROPOSAL'S AROUND
COVERT SICK LEAVE- A. B. EIGHTY
FOUR AND SB ONE FOURTEEN WHEN I
THINK THE ADMINISTRATION VERY
MUCH FOR THEIR EARLY ACTION-
SORT OF LEADING INTO THIS ISSUE
IT'S OBVIOUSLY VITALLY IMPORTANT
FOR OUR MEMBERS. I ALSO THINK
THIS COMMITTEE FOR THEIR
ATTENTION THIS AND PARTICULARLY-
SOME OF WOMAN CARILLO FOR HER
HELP AND GUIDANCE AND NEVER
GETTING THIS ISSUE I THINK SO
MUCH WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
THANK YOU LET'S GO TO THE NEXT
BIGGER. GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS GOOD TO SEE HIM AT
CERTAIN THE CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION WE ARE IN
SUPPORT OF AB EIGHTY SEVEN IN
PARTICULAR WITH REGARD TO THE-
RESTAURANT RIVER REVITALIZATION
FUNDS. THOSE WERE REALLY
LIFELINE FUNDS FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT- TO HELP OFFSET FOR
THE GOVERNMENT ORDERED CLOSURES
OF RESTAURANTS. AND SO ONE THING
I WOULD SAY IS THOSE WERE NEVER
INTENDED- ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS
TO BE TAXED AS INCOME THIS
ENSURES THAT THEY WON'T. AND
THEN THE OTHER THING JUST TO
KEEP IN MIND IS THOSE REALLY
FUNDS WENT 2404% OF CALIFORNIA'S
QUALIFIED RESTAURANTS SO THE
VAST MAJORITY OF CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANTS DIDN'T GET THAT
RELIEF BUT FOR THOSE THAT DID
THE LUCKY ONES. THIS IS THE
TIPPING POINT PROBABLY FOR
WHETHER THEY CAN REMAIN A VIABLE
EMPLOYER OR NOT SO WE ARE GREAT
SUPPORT AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING

THING. I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE
BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT CAME
TOGETHER TO SUPPORT I KNOW THAT
WE'RE GOING TO FIND ADDITIONAL
SOLUTIONS- IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET
TO ENSURE THAT. SMALL BUSINESSES
