SINGLE USE PLASTIC BOTTLES ARE
RESOURCE INTENSIVE TO
MANUFACTURE FILL AND SHIP AROUND
THE GLOBE. EACH ONE COMES WITH A
HEFTY CARBON FOOTPRINT BESIDES
RE USE AND RECYCLING WE HAVE THE
CHANCE TO REUSE OUR- REDUCE OUR
SINGLE USE PLASTIC WATER
BOTTLES. THE EASIEST WAY TO
ENSURE THAT SINGLE USE PLASTIC
WATER BOTTLES DON'T END UP
SITTING IN A LANDFILL OR
FLOATING IN OUR WATERSHEDS. AND
OCEANS IS TO AVOID THEM IN THE
FIRST PLACE THE AVERAGE CONSUMER
DRINKS AROUND SIXTY FOUR OUNCES
OF WATER PER DAY WHICH CAN
AMOUNT TO APPROXIMATELY ONE
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTY
SINGLE USE PLASTIC BOTTLES PER
YEAR. BY SWITCHING TO JUST ONE
REUSABLE WATER BOTTLE FOR THE
YEAR CONSUMERS CAN GREATLY
REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
. CONSUMERS KNOW THIS AS WELL
60% OF ADULTS THE UNITED STATES
ALREADY OPT FOR REUSABLE WATER
BOTTLE. WHAT'S LEFT IS CREATING
ACCESSIBLE AND INFRASTRUCTURE TO
SUPPORT THIS PRACTICE OF FOR USE
WITH WHICH AB NINETEEN FIFTY
THREE WILL DO. THIS BILL
REQUIRES PUBLICLY ACCESSED X.
AREAS SUCH AS TRANSIT HUBS AND
PUBLIC BUILDINGS TO HAVE
ACCESSIBLE REFILLABLE WATER
BOTTLE STATIONS. AB NINETEEN

AND COLLEAGUES. TODAY I PRESENT
TO YOU AB TWENTY SIX OH ONE A
BILL THAT WOULD PROHIBIT THE
ISSUANCE OF A WASTEWATER
DISCHARGE PERMIT FOR A NEW
LANDFILL WAIT LATERAL EXPANSION
OF ANY EXISTING AND FILL THAT IS
USED FOR THE DISPOSAL OF NON
HAZARDOUS SOLID WASTE IF THE
LAND IS LOCATED WITHIN THE
VICINITY OF THE U. S. MEXICO
BORDER. THIS BILLS ATTEMPTING TO
HELP CURB THE AMOUNT OF
EMISSIONS AND AIR QUALITY
IMPACTS THAT HARM THE HEALTH OF
OUR BORDER COMMUNITIES WHY NOT
ASK AND- I APOLOGIZE MISS IRWIN
WAS NEXT IF YOU DON'T MIND WILL

SOMETIMES WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
A GUY HAD MISTRIAL BE EVEN.
SHORTER OUR GOAL HERE IS TO.
ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ISSUES THAT ARE TAKING
PLACE IN PLAGUE IN THE- ORDER
COMMUNITIES OF CALIFORNIA- THE
U. S. MEXICO BORDER. WITH ME IS
MY BE CAST A DIRECTOR OF POLICY
FOR THE OFFICE OF VICE CHAIR

FOR SAN DIEGO WHO IS HERE TO
TESTIFY ON THIS BILL. HI
EVERYONE THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD TODAY ON
BEHALF OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY VICE
CHAIR NORA VARGAS IN SUPPORT OF
AB TWENTY SIX OH ONE. AB TWENTY
SIX A ONE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE
PUBLIC HEALTH OF MANY RESIDENTS
IN SANTA COUNTY ESPECIALLY THOSE
WHO LIVE IN BY STROKES IS
DISTRICT NEAR THE US BORDER WITH
MEXICO. OUR FRONTLINE
COMMUNITIES NEAR THE BORDER FACE
MANY ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
ISSUES- THAT INCLUDE POOR AIR
QUALITY AND LACK OF GREEN OPEN
SPACE. LANDFILLS ARE AMONG
SOCIETY'S MOST IMPACTFUL LAND
USES AND NUMEROUS LAWS ARE IN
PLACE RESTRICTING THEIR CITING
TO SAFE DISTANCES FROM HOMES
SCHOOLS AND OTHER SENSITIVE
AREAS. HOWEVER STATE LAW DOES
NOT CURRENTLY ADDRESSED THE
IMPACT OF LOCAL. OF LOCATING
PROPOSED LANDFILLS AND
COMMUNITIES OF CONCERN YOU'RE
THE U. S. MEXICO BORDER. OUR
BORDER AREA WAS RECENTLY RATED
NINETY OUT OF ONE HUNDRED ON THE
LATEST CALAVERAS SCREEN MAKING
IT ONE OF THE MOST POLLUTED
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES AND ALL OF
CALIFORNIA. NOT SURPRISINGLY OUR
BORDERS PREDOMINANTLY LATINO
WORKING FAMILIES AND
HISTORICALLY UNDERSERVED. THE
TWENTY FOUR SEVEN IDOLING OF
VEHICLES INCLUDING BUT IN IN THE
CROSSLAND PORTS OF ENTRY. I'M
THE PRESENT HUGE CHALLENGE TO
PUBLIC HEALTH AND LOCAL AIR
QUALITY AS A RESULT IT'S
ENVIRONMENTALLY AND MORALLY
WRONG TO PLACE OUR MOST
POLLUTING LAND USES IN THESE
COMMUNITIES. AB TWENTY SIX OH
ONE WILL PROTECT OUR BORDER
COMMUNITIES FROM BEING FURTHER
FOR IN WITH AIR POLLUTION MORE
GROUND ARE PER WATER POLLUTION
AND MORE TRUCK TRAFFIC. IT WILL
ALSO HELP ENSURE THE TROUBLE BE
CUENTA RIVER VALLEY IS NOT
FURTHER POLLUTED BEYOND CURRENT
LEVELS. AND IS CONSISTENT WITH
OUR COUNTIES CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
ON BEHALF OF VICE CHAIR MARKETS
I WANT TO THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
EDUARDO GARCIA FOR INTRODUCING
THIS BILL. IT'S TIME THE STATE
LAW PROTECT THESE BORDER
COMMUNITIES FROM THE IMPACTS OF
LANDFILLS IN THE SAME WAY THAT
IT DES FOR SCHOOLS ANOTHER
SENSITIVE LAND USES. FURTHERMORE
AB TWENTY SIX A ONE ALSO HAS
ECONOMIC BENEFITS. I UNDERSTAND
YOU WOULD BE PART OF A NATIONAL
REGION CURRENTLY FUELS A TWO
HUNDRED THIRTY BILLION CROSS
BORDER ECONOMY. AND SOFOR THE
REASONS ARE ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE CLIMATE ACTION AND OUR
CROSS BORDER ECONOMY. WE
ENCOURAGE YOUR SUPPORT. OF AB
TWENTY SIX A ONE THANK YOU. VERY
GOOD ARM. I DON'T BELIEVE WE
HAVE A PRIMARY WITNESS IN

FIRST STEP- QUESTIONS THEN OR
COMMENTS FROM THE- COMMITTEE
MEMBERS. I'LL JUST MAKE A
COMMENT WHICH IS- I THINK IT'S
GOOD TO KEEP WHAT COULD BE A
CONTROVERSIAL FACILITY AWAY FROM
THE MEXICAN BORDER- JUST MAKES
THINGS THAT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT
AND SO I THINK THIS IS A
WORTHWHILE BILL MR GARCIA WOULD
YOU BUT SEE CAN WE HAVE A MOTION
ARE WE'VE HAD A- AS WE HAVE THE
MOTION YET NOW. OKAY AND THEN
YOU MAY CLOSE I CONCUR WITH YOUR
COMMENTS MISTER CHAIR AND I

IT'S JUST A BUSY DAY WITH PEOPLE
PRESENTING ANOTHER COMMITTEE SO
WELL WE'LL GET WE'LL GET
EVERYBODY HERE EVENTUALLY. OUR
JUST EVEN BEFORE YOU START
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IRWIN. WE'VE
HAVE OTHER BILLS ON BATTERY
RECYCLING BEFORE I THINK THIS IS
THE BEST VERSION WE'VE EVER SEEN
I GUESS I'M LETTING PEOPLE KNOW
WHAT I THINK YOUR BELT AND YOU
OF WORK BETTER WITH- ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS AND- LET ME SAY I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK
YOU'RE DOING. THANK YOU. VERY
MUCH DOCTOR QUIRK FOR THAT AND I
HAVE TO SAY WE- HAVE EXCELLENT
STAFF ALLEN OF THEY HAVE WORKED
THEY THEY HAVE. HAVE AND WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS BECAUSE THIS IS A
VERY DIFFICULT ISSUE BUT WE DO
NEED TO. RESOLVE THAT. SO AB AT
TWENTY FOUR FORTY WOULD CREATE A
SAFE ACCESSIBLE SYSTEM FOR
CALIFORNIANS TO DROP OFF
BATTERIES FOR PROPER DISPOSAL.
BATTERIES ARE BECOMING MORE
PREVALENT IN OUR EVERYDAY LIVES
AND THE LACK OF CONVENIENT
DISPOSAL OPTIONS IS LEADING TO
HIGHER LEVELS OF TOXIC BATTERIES
ENTERING INTO OUR WASTE STREAM.
ACCORDING TO A TWENTY EIGHT TEEN
SURVEY OF TWENTY SIX OF
CALIFORNIA MARCH TWENTY
FACILITIES EXPERIENCED AT LEAST
ONE FIRE DURING THE PRIOR TWO
YEARS. AND BATTERIES BECAUSE 65%
OF THOSE FIRES WE MUST DO BETTER
WITHOUT DRAMATICALLY REDUCING
THE NUMBER OF BATTERIES ENTERING
CALIFORNIA'S WAY STREAM WE CAN
UNDOUBTEDLY SUFFER ADDITIONAL
FIRES THAT COULD RESULT IN THE
LOSS OF LIVES AND PROPERTY. AND-
JEOPARDIZE CALIFORNIA'S
RECYCLING INFRASTRUCTURE I WANT
TO THANK AGAIN THE VARIOUS
STAKEHOLDERS FOR THEIR WORK ON
THE BILL. AND EMPHASIZE MY
COMMITMENT TO FINDING SOLUTIONS
AND ALLEVIATING CONCERNS. AND
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY ARE-
KAYLA ROBINSON ON BEHALF OF
RETHINK WASTE AND CHASE AND
SMELTER ON BEHALF THE CALIFORNIA
PRODUCT STILL STEWARDSHIP
COUNCIL. VERY WELL WOULD LIKE TO
GO FIRST. OKAY HI GOOD AFTERNOON
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS CAN ROB ON
THE OF READ WASTE WASTE
MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY BASED IN
SAN MATEO COUNTY- THAT PROVIDE
SERVICES TO APPROXIMATELY. FORTY
FOUR HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT
THOUSAND RESIDENCES AND ELEVEN
THOUSAND BUSINESSES. IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN WE EXPERIENCED FIRST
HAND THE CATASTROPHIC EFFECTS OF
A LITHIUM ION BATTERY INDUCED
FIRE AT A RECYCLING CENTER. THEY
COMPLETELY DEVASTATED OUR
FACILITY SHUTTING US DOWN FOR
NINETY DAYS AND CAUSING EIGHT
POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN
DAMAGES IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY A
YEAR TO FULLY REPAIR EVERYTHING.
PRIOR TO THE FIRE WE HAD JUST
ONE SHERMAN SOME PROVIDER NOW WE
NEED SEVEN TO PROVIDE THE SAME
KIND OF COVERAGE. INSURANCE
PROVIDERS ARE FINDING IT TOO
RISKY TO COVER FACILITIES LIKE
OURS AFTER THE EXCESSIVE DAMAGES
IN TWENTY SIXTEEN. WE HAVE
IMPLEMENTED PREVENTATIVE
MEASURES TO REMOVE BATTERIES
FROM ARE WE STREAM BUT LAST YEAR
ALONE WE SUFFERED TWELVE FIRES
BETWEEN OUR MATERIAL RECOVERY
FACILITY AND TRANSFER STATION.
TEN OF THEM COULD BE ATTRIBUTED
TO LITHIUM ION BATTERIES. ANYONE
OF THESE FIRES COULD GROW INTO A
FIRE LIKE THE ONE IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN AND ANOTHER MAJOR FIRE
COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE OUR
INTERNS COMPLETELY. FURTHERMORE
THESE BATTERIES THREATEN THE
INTEGRITY OF OUR PUBLICLY FUNDED
WASTE COLLECTION AND RECYCLING
INFRASTRUCTURE AND INSPIRES POSE
A SAFETY HAZARD TO OUR WORKERS.
THIS ISSUE IS COMMON AT MARKS
ACROSS THE NATION THIS IS A
CRISIS THAT NEEDS A SOLUTION NOW
AS LOOKING MINE BATTERIES ARE
BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON
EVERYDAY PRODUCTS. AB TWENTY
FOUR FORTY IS CRITICAL TO
DIVERTING BATTERIES AND PRODUCTS
IN THE WASTE STREAM TO PROTECT
OUR WORKERS OUR INFRASTRUCTURE
AND OUR ENVIRONMENT AND I
RESPECTFULLY OR DRIVE UP. THANK
YOU. MISTER SMELSER. THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS IT'S GOOD TO
BE HERE WITH YOU- IN PERSON
AGAIN. ADJACENT SPONSOR SHAGARI
ATTRITIONAL THROUGH AND LAYING
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP COUNCIL A CO
SPONSOR OF THE MEASURE BUT ALSO
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE NATIONAL
STEWARDSHIP ACTION COUNCIL
ALAMEDA. COUNTY WASTE MANAGEMENT
AUTHORITY OR STOP WASTE AND THE
WESTERN PLASTER WASTE MANAGEMENT
AUTHORITY SO. KILL SPOKE ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF AB TWENTY TWO
TWENTY FOUR FORTY FROM THE
PERSPECTIVE OF TAXPAYER TAXPAYER
FUNDED SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLING
INFRASTRUCTURE I'M GONNA FOCUS
ON WHAT THE BILL. DOES KIND OF
MECHANICALLY. AT FIRST I WANNA
BE CLEAR THIS BILL DOESN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO WITH DEMONIZING
SPECIFIC PRODUCTS THAT'S NOT
WHAT IT'S ABOUT AT ALL- IT'S
SIMPLY A RECOGNITION THAT SOME
PRODUCTS HAVE UNIQUE IMPACTS-
AND PRODUCERS- SHOULD THEREFORE
SHARING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
COLLECTION AND RECYCLING. SO
IT'S NOT ABOUT DEMONISATION IT'S
JUST ABOUT COLLABORATION AND
SHARED RESPONSIBILITY. AB TWENTY
FOUR FORTY REQUIRES PRODUCERS OF
LOOSE BATTERIES. AND BATTERY
MBEDDED PRODUCTS TO ESTABLISH-
AN EXTENDED PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY PROGRAM FOR THEIR
PRODUCTS. HIGHER VERSIONS OF
THIS BILL. HAD BOTH PRODUCT
CATEGORIES IN ONE PROGRAM THIS
BILL SPLITS THEM SEPARATELY SO
THE- MANUFACTURERS CAN RUN THEIR
OWN INDEPENDENT PROGRAMS- MORE
SUITED TO THE SPECIFIC PRODUCTS.
SIMILAR TO THE PHARMACEUTICAL
BILL- WHEN IT DID SHARP SINBAD'S
SEPARATELY- THE STEWARDSHIP
PROGRAM ESTABLISHED BY TWENTY TO
FOUR FORTY IS STRUCTURALLY
CONSISTENT WITH RECENTLY PASSED
YOUR CHIP PROGRAMS THAT HAVE
BEEN SEEN IN THIS COMMITTEE
AGAIN SB TWO ONE TWO. IS THE
MOST RECENT VERSION THE BILL
DOES SEVERAL THINGS AT REQUIRES
PRODUCERS TO DESIGN FUND AND
IMPLEMENT A TAKE BACK AND
RECYCLING PROGRAM FOR THEIR
PRODUCTS- IT CONTAINS A PLAN
APPROVAL PROCESS THAT PROVIDES
OVERSIGHT THE GIVES PRODUCERS
THE FREEDOM TO DEVELOP A PROGRAM
THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM. IT'S A
PERFORMANCE BASED METRICS AS
OPPOSED TO A COMMAND CONTROL
REGULATION. SEES ME. IT
ESTABLISHES MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE COLLECTION NETWORK THAT
CREATES AN ADVISORY COMMITTEE SO
ALL STAKEHOLDERS CAN HAVE A
VOICE IN THE PROCESS- ANY
CREATES AN OBLIGATION ON SOME
RETAILERS BUT NOT ALL. A TO
COLLECT LOOSE BATTERIES- AND
SOME- BATTERY AND BETTER
PRODUCTS. AND FINALLY IT
ESTABLISHES STRONG OVERSIGHT AND
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISMS- I ALSO
WANT TO THINK- THE DIVERSE GROUP
OF STAKEHOLDERS THAT ARE WORKING
CONSTRUCTIVELY ON AB. TWENTY
FOUR FORTY SOME OF WHOM WERE
PREVIOUSLY OPPOSED BY THE
CONVERSATION THIS YEAR. HAS BEEN
VERY PRODUCTIVE AND WE'RE
ENCOURAGED BY THE DISCUSSIONS-
AND THEN FINALLY AS NOTED IN THE
ANALYSIS USUALLY SOME OF THE
DETAILS OF TWENTY FOUR FORTY
WILL CONTINUE TO CHANGE YOU MAY
NOTICE A FEW BLANKS IN THE BILL-
WERE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND
COME TO AGREEMENT BEFORE WE FILL
IN SOME OF THOSE DETAILS. THAT'S
WITHOUT A RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR
AYE VOTE- AND CAN ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. A COLD FRONT TO DO
SO. VERY GOOD- WE HAVE. A
PRIMARY. OPPOSITION WITNESS FOR
AB TWENTY FOUR FORTY- AND I
BELIEVE HE IS ON THE LINE WALTER
ALL POWER AND VICE PRESIDENTIAL
VICE PRESIDENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
AFFAIRS AND INDUSTRY
SUSTAINABILITY I DON'T HAVE MY
NOTES WHAT THE ORGANIZATION IS
SIMPLY STATE THAT- SO MISTER A
ALCORN YOU SHOULD BE LIVE ON THE
LINE AND IF YOU WANT MEET
YOURSELF WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
HEAR YOU. YES THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIR CAN YOU HEAR
ME OK YES WE HEAR YOU FINE. OKAY
THANK YOU AND- THANK YOU ALSO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER IRWIN- I AM
WALTER ALCORN ON THE CONSUMER
TECHNOLOGY ASSOCIATION WE
REPRESENT MANUFACTURERS AND
RETAILERS OF CONSUMER
ELECTRONICS. WHICH ACTUALLY
INCLUDE BATTERIES AND HAVE BEEN
BATTERED BATTERIES- SIXTY EIGHT
PROBABLY BEST KNOWN FOR THE
PRODUCE AT THE PRODUCER OF
STEVIA THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
SHOW. IN LAS VEGAS EVERY YEAR
AND- WITH THAT- BUT THAT EVENT
WHAT THE LARGEST TRADE SHOW IN
THE COUNTRY AND THE WE HAVE. AN
EVENT WHERE MANY INNOVATORS HAVE
PRODUCED PRODUCTS USED IN OUR
HOMES FOR THE FIRST TIME- WE SEE
A LOT OF INNOVATION THERE. MY
COMMENTS ARE GONNA FOCUS ON
BATTERY INVENTED PRODUCTS- ONE
OF THE THINGS WE LEARNED-
SPECIFICALLY ON BATTERY
COLLECTION PROGRAMS- THE BEST-
MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAM ELEMENT
FOR DIVERTING BATTERIES TO
PROPER RECYCLING IS BETTER
PUBLIC EDUCATION- SO WE'RE
REALLY NOT ADDRESSING. BATTERY
PORTIONS OF THE BILL. ALTHOUGH I
DO APPRECIATE SOME OF THE
DETAILS ARE STILL BEING WORKED
OUT THERE TO. PROBLEM THAT WE
HAVE WITH BATTERY IN PLAN AS
THEY VERY NEEDS THAN BLUE
SPATTER. THAT NEED TO BE CALLED-
FIRST. BATTERIES ARE IN THEY'RE
INVISIBLE TO CONSUMERS AND
THEREFORE- WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A
COLLECTION SYSTEM THAT WILL NOT
BE INTUITIVE BUT TO CONSUMERS
THERE ARE A LOT OF PRODUCTS THAT
HAVE BEEN BETTER BATTERIES. THAT
MAY HAVE BEEN BETTER BATTERIES
OR MAY NOT YOU KNOW LIKE
HEADPHONES OR EAR BUDS
SMARTPHONE CASES PORTABLE
PRINTERS WATCHES- LOTS OF SMALL
APPLIANCES. THERE REALLY IS-
IT'S REALLY A MODEL BY MODEL IN
SOME CASES DETERMINATION WHETHER
OR NOT THERE'S A BATTERY IN
BETTER THAN US AND WE WERE VERY
CONCERNED THAT THE WAY THIS IS
STRUCTURED THAT WOULD NOT BE
INTO TO CONSUMERS AND RETAILERS.
AND OTHERS ADMINISTERING THE
PROGRAM THE OTHER CONCERN WE
HAVE IS ON THE PRE APPROVED TO
SELL PROVISIONS- BASICALLY
BECAUSE IT'S NOT ONLY THAT
PRODUCTS ARE MENTIONED BUT ALSO.
YOU KNOW EVERYTHING FROM CAR
KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTES TO
PORTABLE GLUCOSE READERS AND
SMOKE ALARMS YOU KNOW THEY ALL
INVOLVE HAVING BETTER BATTERIES
AND THE CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET
AND THEY'RE GONNA BE FUTURE
INNOVATIONS THAT COME TO SO. OUR
RECOMMENDATION IS THAT INSTEAD
OF DEALING WITH THE IMPACT OF
THE BATTERY BETTER PRODUCTS THE
SAME WAY AS LOOSE BATTERIES.
EXPAND I THINK OUR COME ELECTRON
WASTE PRO. WITH THE- CONSUMER
FOR. TO COVER THE PRODUCT THAT.
IN BETTER BATTERIES AND LOOK
FORWARD TO MORE. WITH A SPONSOR
AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO SEE.
WE CAN- WORK IN THAT DIRECTION
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR VERY CLEAR
TESTIMONY- SO NOW WE WILL GO TO-
YES WELL ANYONE IN THE ROOM WHO
IS IN SUPPORT. HI MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS AT BETWEEN YOUR POSITION
HERE FIELDING GRIEVES OF VIACOM
CALIFORNIA REPRESENT A LARGE
NUMBER OF MEDICAL DEVICE
MANUFACTURERS WE APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS IN THE BILL
ADDRESSING CLASS TO CLASS THREE
MEDICAL DEVICES WERE STILL HAVE
REMAINING TECHNICAL CONCERNS
ABOUT THE SCOPE OF APPLICATION
FOR CLASS ONE MEDICAL DEVICES.
BUT WORKING VERY CONSTRUCTIVELY
WITH THE AUTHORED SPONSORS
APPRECIATE THEIR COLLABORATION.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN
PERSEPHONE MORE ON BEHALF OF THE
ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION WE ECHO THE COMMENTS
MADE BY BY A COMMON LOOK FOR TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH AUTHORED

. ARE VERY WELL. SO AT THIS
POINT I'D LIKE TO MOVE THIS BILL
AND I WOULD ASK THE VICE CHAIR
OF HE MIGHT GIVE ME A COURTESY
SECOND. YES BUT I DO HAVE A ONE
QUESTION OR JUST A CALL YOU CAN
HAVE ALL THE QUESTIONS YOU WANT
AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO VOTE FOR
JUST A MINUTE JACKSON'S. DOING
ANYTHING. THANK YOU WE'RE WE'RE
A LITTLE. SHORT ON THE MODEL NOW
SO. IN JUST JUST AWARENESS OF
THE BATTERIES WERE START WITH
YOUR BILL HERE. GOING INTO THE
FUTURE WITH A LITHIUM BATTERY
FOR THE ELECTRIC VEHICLES WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE READY TO. DO
SOMETHING WITH THESE RECYCLE
BATTERIES. WE ALL HEARD ABOUT
THE SHIP THE BURNED UP WITH A
THOUSAND CARS AND- BECAUSE A
LITHIUM BATTERIES. BUT THE START
THAT CONVERSATION GOING FORWARD
. THIS IS. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY
NOT PART OF A NUMBER OF THIS
WITH PROGRAM BUT IT IT IS
CERTAINLY A BIG CONVERSATION WE
DO NEED TO KNOW HOW WE'RE GONNA
BE ABLE TO DISPOSE OF THOSE- CAR
BATTERIES. OBVIOUSLY WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE
RECYCLED. AND BUT IT'S JUST NOT
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE FOCUSING
ON. HAVE RIGHT NOW I JUST WANTED
TO MAKE THAT COMMENT WITH THAT
STUFF. LIKE TO START THE SECOND
I WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORTER
RIGHT NOW BUT I LOOK FOR THE
CONVERSATION APPRECIATE THAT. I
HAVE A QUESTION AND I APOLOGIZE
IF THIS STARTED ADDRESSED
RUNNING FROM ONE COMMITTEE
HEARING TO ANOTHER DIFFERENT
BUILDINGS- BUT I KNOW THAT THE
PREDECESSOR BILL HAD AN
EXEMPTION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
THOSE WITH GROSS RECEIPTS OVER
MILLION DOLLARS HAVING TO DO
THESE TORTURE PROGRAMS. AND I
THINK THAT'S IN THE BILL NOW BUT
IS THIS SOMETHING YOU'RE
CONSIDERING. THERE THERE IS A
FOR COLLECTION SITES YES AN
EXEMPTION FOR. IT IS THE ID
NUMBER FIVE YEAH IT'S FIVE ONE
MILLIONS OF UNDER FIVE LOCATIONS
YET AND STATE OKAY THANK YOU.
VERY GOOD- YOU MAY CLOSE ALL
RIGHT AND I DO WANT TO ADDRESS
JUST QUICKLY SOME OF THE ISSUES
OF THE STAKEHOLDERS OBVIOUSLY
THE WHAT WE HAVE FOR RECYCLING
RIGHT NOW IS A BATTERY RECYCLING
IS NOT SUFFICIENT AND THIS IS A
CRUCIAL ISSUE THAT WE HAVE TO
DEAL WITH ONE OF THE REASONS
THAT YOU KNOW THERE THERE ARE
IT'S TWO SEPARATE IF YOU ARE
PROGRAM SO YOU HEARD A LOT OF
THE- OPPOSITION MENTIONED THE
CONCERN ABOUT EMBEDDED BATTERIES
BUT THEY ALMOST WENT ALONG THEIR
OWN ARGUMENT WHEN THEY STARTED
ALONG THE LIST OF WELDERS
CELLPHONES AND THERE'S WATCHES
AND THERE'S THIS AND THERE'S
THAT AND THAT'S EXACTLY THE
PROBLEM SO IT IS. REALLY
CRITICAL THAT WE DEAL WITH NOT
ONLY THE EMBEDDED ISSUE WHICH
WILL BE SEPARATE FROM THE LOOSE
BATTERIES AND I WOULD I WOULD
LIKE TO MISTER SMELLS ARE TO SEE
IF HE HAS ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD
ON TO THAT BUT I JUST I JUST
WANT TO SAY NO EVEN I GUESS GOOD
MISTER GOVERNOR AS A
REPRESENTATIVE OF SOMEBODY THAT
HAS IT. FOUR YEARS WE ARE REALLY
COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH EVERY
SINGLE STAKEHOLDER AND- I HEARD.
ONE OF THE- ONE OF THE SPEAKERS
TALK ABOUT EDUCATION. EDUCATION
IS THE BOTTOM LINE THE MOST THE
MOST CRITICAL PART OF IT WE
CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL UNTIL
EVERYBODY KNOWS EXACTLY. WHERE
WHEN THEY'RE VAPING PEN IS OF IT
IS IT IS COMPOSED. THE HEAD WE
THAT THAT THAT THEY PUT IT IN A
SAFE SPOT SO IT'S NOT BECAUSE
THEY'RE IT CAUSING FIRES IN OUR
RECYCLING. FACILITIES AND
POLLUTING OUR ENVIRONMENT SO I
THINK THAT YOU HAD A COUPLE OF
COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE
OPPOSITION BEYOND THAT. YEAH I
MEAN I WOULD JUST I WOULD JUST
OBSERVE I THINK- HISTORICALLY
THESE PROGRAMS WORK BEST- WHEN
THERE'S A NEGOTIATED COMPROMISE
IN THE GUEST BE TWO ONE TWO
AGAIN TO GO BACK. THAT IS REALLY
MAYBE THAT'S- WHERE WE'RE TRYING
TO FOLLOW THAT SAME. PATH HERE
WE'RE TRYING TO WORK WITH FOLKS
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT FOR THE FOLKS WHO ARE
OPPOSE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO DO
SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY
BUY INTO- SO THAT'S CERTAINLY
OUR GOAL WILL CONTINUE DOWN THAT
PATH. YES SO THANK YOU. VERY
MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT THIS BILL AND THE- WOULD
JUST APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
WELL IF ANYONE CAN DO IT YOU AND
I. REALLY HOPE THAT THAT WILL
MAKE IT THIS TIME. MR SECRETARY
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. I DON'T
NUMBER TWO AB TWO FOUR. IRWIN
THE MOTION IS TO PASS AND RE
REFER TO THE COMMITTEE ON
NATURAL RESOURCES. WORK HIGH.
COURT HI SMITH. SMITH NO
ARAMBULA OUR QUE HAN BURKE AND I
CRISTINA GARCIA CRISTINA GARCIA
HI HOLDEN. MATHIS HOW DOES NOT
VOTING MURATSUCHI WALDRON. WILL
EVENTUALLY GET ENOUGH PEOPLE
THAT ARE TO PASS THEY'LL- THANK
YOU AT THE MOMENT THEN I'D LIKE
TO BRING UP MISS FRIEDMAN. AND
I'D LIKE I HAVE GOING TO HAVE TO
LEAVE TO ADD ON AND PUBLIC
SAFETY. ARM AND SO WHAT I'D LIKE
TO DO IS MAKE A MOTION AND JUST
IN CASE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
PEOPLE LATER ON COULD I HAVE A
SECOND. THANK YOU ALL RIGHT. SO
MOTION AND A SECOND. MISTER VICE
CHAIR THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND OF
COURSE I AM IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS I WANT TO THANK YOU-
QUIRK AND YOUR COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR ALL OF THEIR WORK ON THIS
BILL OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS. AB
TWENTY SEVENTY ONE WOULD
PROHIBIT THE INCLUSION OF P.
FOSS CHEMICALS IN PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS SO THOSE ARE THINGS
LIKE LIPSTICK AND FACE CREAM AND
OTHER THINGS THAT WE DON'T WANT
TO HAVE THIS IN THE CLASS OF
CHEMICALS KNOWN AS OUR I CAN'T
PRONOUNCE IT. THE P. FOSS ARE A
LARGE FAMILY OF CHEMICALS KNOWN
FOR THEIR LONG LASTING WATER AND
OIL RESISTANT AND TEMPERATURE
RETAINING PROPERTIES HOWEVER
THESE PRODUCTS SHED P. PASSED
CHEMICALS OVERTIME AND EXPOSE
PEOPLE O THE CHEMICALS. PFOS
CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO
HAVE ADVERSE IMPACTS ON HUMAN
HEALTH INCLUDING ON CHILDREN AND
IS SOMEONE WHOSE EIGHT YEAR OLD
IS GETTING INTO HER MAKE UP
PRETTY MUCH ON A DAILY BASIS IT
IS A CONCERN TO ME PERSONALLY.
RECENT TESTING SHOWS THAT
MANUFACTURERS INTENTIONALLY ADD
P. FOSTER PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS
SUCH AS LIPSTICK MASCARA AND
SHAVING CREAM SO YOU MEN ARE NOT
IMMUNE. SINCE THE P. FAST
CHEMICALS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL FOR
THESE PRODUCTS TO BE USED AN
ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS WITHOUT P.
FAUCETS ARE AVAILABLE PEOPLE ARE
EXPOSED. LITTLE REASON. A
RESTRICTION ON THE KILLER CARE
AT THE SALE OF PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS CONTAINING P. FOSS. IS
REALLY THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE
THAT EVERY CALIFORNIA'S ACCESS
TO PRODUCTS THAT DO NOT PRESENT
A HEALTH RISK TO THEIR FAMILIES.
JUST BY THEIR MERE PRSENCE IN
THEIR HOME. AND I WANT TO SAY
THIS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT I DID NOT
INTRODUCED THIS BILL. UNTIL I
FIRST REACHED OUT TO INDUSTRY.
AND ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD BE
WILLING TO ENGAGE IN THE EFFORT
TO BAN P. FAUCETS AND PERSONAL
CARE PRODUCTS. AND THEY ARE ALL
CHOSE TO WORK WITH US ON THIS
BILL ONE TWENTY SEVEN SEVENTY
ONE AND I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR
THAT. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO
MEET AND WORK WITH THEM.
REGARDING WE AMEND THIS BILL TO
ALLOW FOR SOME UNINTENTIONAL
CONTAMINATION OF PRODUCTS. THIS
IS A TOUGH ISSUE BECAUSE PEOPLE
ARE SUPERIOR IN MANY PRODUCTS.
AT THAT DON'T HAVE P. FAUCETS ON
THE INGREDIENT LABEL. SO EVEN IF
YOU WERE TRYING TO SCREEN THEM
OUT IN YOUR HOME IT WILL BE VERY
VERY HARD TO. AND THEY MIGHT
EVEN HAVE VERY HIGH LEVELS OF
PEOPLE PAST. AND I ALSO WANT TO
SAY THAT AS SOMEONE WHO WAS ON
OF WATER BOARD FOR ALMOST EIGHT
YEARS. FOSSE'S ARE ALSO A REAL
EMERGING. CONTAMINANT OF CONCERN
BECAUSE THE LEECH OFF OF THESE
PRODUCTS WHEN YOU WASH YOUR
FACE. AND GO INTO THE WATER
SUPPLY AND RIGHT NOW THE
EATABLE. I TO GET OUT OF WILL.
AT THEIR- CUSTOMERS AND WHY
DON'T WANT TO BE DRINKING THE
STUFF. AND REALLY WE HAVEN'T
BEEN ABLE TO GET A HANDLE ON IT.
NOW P. FAUCETS CANNELLA
FUNCTIONALLY FUNCTIONAL USE A
VERY LOW LEVEL SOME COSMETICS.
FOR EXAMPLE THEY CAN BE
INTENTIONALLY ATTITUDE
INGREDIENT- INTO A COSMETIC
THEN. AND THEN THE P. FOSS MY
ONLY JOB IS A VERY TRACE AMOUNT
IN THE OVERALL PRODUCT- THAT
SAID I AM WILLING TO WORK. WITH
THE COMMITTEE AND WITH
MANUFACTURERS TO IDENTIFY A SAFE
BUT REASONABLE AWAY WAY. TO
ACCOUNT FOR THIS UNINTENTIONAL
CROSS CONTAMINATION OF PEOPLE
ASSETS AND PRODUCTS. TESTIFYING
TODAY IN SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY
SEVEN SEVENTY ONE ISSUES A
LITTLE WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP AT DOCTOR. LYDIA
JOB WITH THE GREEN SCIENCE.
POLICY INSTITUTE. THANK YOU
THANK YOU THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FOR- YOUR PRESENTATION
FOR OUR FOR AUTHORING THIS BILL.
MY NAME IS SUSAN LITTLE ON THE
AND I'M WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP A CO SPONSOR OF AB
TWO SEVEN SEVEN ONE. BREAST
CANCER PREVENTION PARTNERS AND
CAL PERGER ALSO CO SPONSORS OF
THIS BILL. CONCERNS ARE MOUNTING
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD ABOUT THE
TOXICITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PERSISTENCE AT THE FAST
CHEMICALS THE EUROPEAN UNION HAS
RECENTLY ANNOUNCED IT PLANS TO
PHASE OUT ALL NON ESSENTIAL USES
A P. FAST. AND CALIFORNIA'S YOU
KNOW BECAUSE YOU'VE SEEN THESE
BILLS HAS MOVED FORWARD TO
PROHIBIT THE ENTIRE CLASS OF P.
FAST. FOR MULTIPLE PRODUCTS AND
OUR DEPARTMENT TOXIC SUBSTANCE
CONTROL HAS ALSO TAKEN ACTION ON
THE ENTIRE PATH CLASS OF P. FAST
AND OTHER PRODUCTS LIKE CARPETS-
SO HOW ABOUT P. FAST IN THE
PRODUCTS THAT WE APPLY TO OUR
BODIES EVERY DAY. RESEARCH
INDICATES THAT MANY COSMETICS
CONTAIN P. FAST EVEN WHEN THE P.
FAST IS NOT LISTED ON THE
PRODUCT'S LABEL. BECAUSE WOMEN
AND GIRLS ARE THE PRIMARY. USERS
OF COSMETICS THERE GET GUYS YOU
GUYS USE IT TOO. BUT WOMEN AND
GIRLS WE KNOW EVEN TEENAGE GIRLS
CAN USE AS MANY AS A DOZEN
PRODUCTS EVERY MORNING WHEN
THEY'RE GETTING READY. TO GO TO
SCHOOL. TO GET OUT THE DOOR.
THIRTY FASTER LINK SHOULD LINK
TO A RANGE OF HEALTH EFFECTS
INCLUDING THE DESTRUCTION OF
HORMONES AND HORMONE RESPONSES
TO WOMEN AND GIRLS. BECAUSE
MEDICS WITH P. FAST. COULD
SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THEIR
HEALTH AND THE HEALTH OF THEIR
CHILDREN. PLEASE PROTECT WOMEN
AND CHILDREN FROM THIS DALY AND
UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO P. FAST
AND SUPPORT THE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU- PHONE MODERATOR YOU
CAN DO YOU HAVE A DOCTOR LYDIA

LIKE. AS WE LOOK UP AND REMIND
US OF. THANK YOU HI CAN YOU HEAR
ME OK YES. RIGHT ON MY NAME IS
WHAT THE DOCTOR LYDIA DAHLE I
HAVE A PHD IN CHEMISTRY AND I
CURRENTLY WORK WITH THE GREEN

JUNIOR MY INSTITUTE CO AUTHOR TO
PEER REVIEWED PAPER WITH THE
UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME THAT
MEASURE TEETH IN CHEMICAL OUR
RESEARCH SHOWED HIGH LEVELS OF
FLOORING WHICH IS THE MARKET
PRETTY FAST IN MORE THAN HALF
OF. HIS THIRTY ONE COSMETIC
PRODUCTS WHEN WE TESTED SOME OF
THESE PRODUCTS BURKE UP WITH
MALTA SOMETHING THAT OF
INDIVIDUAL FEEDBACK COMICAL
EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT CONTAINS AT
LEAST A DIFFERENT PATH ALL OF
WHICH ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A WIDE
ARRAY OF HEALTH HARMS INCLUDING
CAN'T. PRESS WHAT- AND
DISRUPTION ALL COME UP ALL
CRESSMAN TESTED FROM THE STATES
CONTAIN A PIZZA COMICAL CALLED
FORD HOW ALSO WHICH WAS ACTUALLY
PHASED BY THE FDA TWENTY TWO TO
CONCERN ABOUT PROCESS OF
FEEDBACK COMICAL INTERFOR. THE
PRODUCT ACCEPTED THAT REMOTE
LIKELY TO CONTAIN FOR WHAT
APPROVED BY COLOR BUT- AND FROM
THE- AND THESE ARE ALL THE MOST
LIKELY TO RESULT IN HELP HARM
BECAUSE OF THEIR USAGE. FOR
EXAMPLE MASCARA IS APPLIED TO
THE I AREA WORKING TO THE BODY
FEATURE DOC PEOPLE WHO USE BUT
THANK AN IMPORTANT COMPOUNDS
THAT DOCTOR LIFE AND FOUNDATIONS
APPLIED ACROSS THE ENTIRE FEE.
IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING THE FACT
ARE FOUND IN PRODUCTS THAT HAVE
A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR HUMAN
EXPOSURE ESPECIALLY THE
CONCENTRATION COMMONLY FOUND IN
COSMETICS OFTEN EXCEED SAFE
DRINKING. WATER LEVEL. I THINK
THE INCREDIBLE CARE PRODUCTS NOT
ONLY A- BUT- HARMS PEOPLE OVERLY
. OF THE FACT ARE OPEN FOR IN
OTHER PARTS OF PRODUCTS USED BY
WHO DON'T WEAR MAKE. SUCH AS WHO
ARE MUCH- OUR THIRTY ALL
DISCOVERED THAT MOST OF THE TIME
FIFTY WERE NOT EVEN PRESENT
INGREDIENTS FONG PRODUCT- LABEL
. IN FACT THE ONLY THREE ACROSS
WITHIN FEEDBACK HAD INCLUDED ON
THE INC LIST ONE REASON FOR THIS
BUT IF I SOME PEOPLE ASKING FROM
INADVERTENT. THERE IN YOUR- AND
IT HIM OCCURS BY THE WAY AND
UNNECESSARY USE A FACT BUILT
SUCH AS ONE. WHAT. OTHER KEY
FACTS ARE TO MAKE UP INTENT. BUT
ARE OFTEN LABEL WHICH MEANS THAT
FOLKS CONSUMERS AND OUR COUNTRY
AND INCOME. COULD NOT SHOOT
PROTECT THEM. WHICH IS ANOTHER
REASON WHY SUCH. IF NEED. AND
AMONG FOLLOWING OUR RESEARCH
EVEN MAIN MAKE COMPANIES LIKE
KILEY. OR AND VOEPEL I PLEDGE
THEIR NEW EATING WHEN CONTAIN
PEOPLE. AND MIGHT. WORKING WITH
COSMETICS. HELP THEM REMOVE
ATHENEX BIKING AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE. AND OUR WEBSITE PEOPLE
THE PRICE HOW THOUSANDS OF
AGREEMENT. THE BOSTON BUT WHAT
THE PEOPLE WANT IT CLEAR TO GO
UP THEIR LIVES HAVING WORRY
ABOUT THE PRODUCT USE ARE.
ESPECIALLY THE THAT ARE CONTACT
THEIR SKIN EVERY DAY. THE
FINANCES CLEAR FEEDBACK FOR HER
. AND SHOULD NOT BE AND CARE.
WELL THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH
DIFFERENT STUFF. AND DIFFERENT
YOU. NO PEOPLE TO GETTING DETAIL
BY FIND HAVE. HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO
LOCK. THE CHEMICAL STRUCTURE. OF
STRONG. FLUORINE FONG DETER
FUNCTION. BUT ALSO THE TERM HOW
AND THEN BY. HARM WHICH IS WHY
BANNING MEANS. CLASS OF PEOPLE.
OF NECESSARY. TO PROTECT THE
PEOPLE OF COLOR. MY THANK HAS
BEEN I SUPPORT. A TWENTY SEVEN
SEVENTY ONE FOR THE COUNTRY

REGISTERING SUPPORT FOR CAMPAIGN
FOR SAFE COSMETICS THANK YOU.
FOR. WHAT WILL IT BE WITH
ENVIRONMENT CALIFORNIA IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL. THANK YOU.
WHO KNEW WHAT ELSE DO WE HAVE
ANYONE IN THE ROOM- THE
OPPOSITION. THIS BILL FROM. OKAY
YEAH. GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
BERS MANUALLY ON BEHALF OF THE
PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS COUNCIL-
TODAY I AM JOINED BY DR J.
ANSELL WHO IS A PC PC'S VICE
PRESIDENT OF COSMETIC PROGRAMS
HE IS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THAT THE
COMMITTEE MAY HAVE- WE ARE
UNFORTUNATELY IN AN- OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION WE
APPRECIATE CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE HOWEVER WE
ARE- STILL REMAIN AND- OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED TO. TWENTY SEVEN
SEVENTY ONE. IN CONCEPT WE
SUPPORT THE PHASE OUT OF FOSSIL
COSMETICS AND PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS. HOWEVER OUR BIGGEST
CONCERN WITH THIS BILL IS A LACK
OF NEW ONES AROUND WHAT IT IS
EXACTLY THAT WERE BANDING. THIS
BILL AS DRAFTED BANDS ALL P.
FIVE SWITCH AS DEFINED CAPTURES
ANYTHING THAT HAS FULLY
FLUORINATED CARBON ATOMS. THIS
WOULD CAPTURE OTHER FLUORIDES
LIKE TFA WHICH ARE READY PRESENT
IN THE WATER SUPPLY SO. CLAYS
ETCETERA. TO BE CLEAR WE WILL
NOT INTENTIONALLY ADD P. FIVE US
INTO OUR PRODUCTS. HOWEVER IF
COMPANIES ARE USING MINERALS AND
WATER THERE MAY STILL BE
TECHNICALLY UNAVOIDABLE TRACE
LEVELS IN THE WATER AND
THEREFORE GET INTO THE PRODUCT.
THIS DOES TWO THINGS IT MAKES US
LIABLE FOR INGREDIENTS THAT WE
ARE NOT INTENTIONALLY ADDING
INTO OUR PRODUCTS BUT ARE RATHER
UBIQUITOUS IN THE ENVIRONMENT
AND NUMBER TWO. IT COULD
PROHIBIT MANUFACTURERS FROM
USING WATER OR OTHER NATURAL
MINERALS AS A COSMETIC
INGREDIENT AND JUST OF THE
COMMITTEES A WHERE WATER IS THE
SINGLE MOST USE INGREDIENTS IN
COSMETICS. COSMETICS AND
PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS COMPANIES
REMAIN COMMITTED TO ADVANCING
INNOVATIVE PRODUKTIVNOST. AS
ADDRESSED ABOVE. AND JUST AS A
REMINDER IN TWENTY TWENTY PC PC
AND A WIDE GROUP OF
STAKEHOLDERS- JOINTLY SUPPORTED
A PHASE OUT OF CERTAIN P. FOSS
IN AB TWENTY SEVEN SIXTY TWO
WHICH MOVED OUT OF THIS BODY.
THIS LEGISLATION ONLINE
CALIFORNIA LAW WITH THE E. U. M.
ANNEXED TO FOR COSMETICS AND
PROVIDED CONSISTENCY AND A
PREDICTABLE REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK. WE ARE ASKING FOR
THIS M. AND THE SPELL. THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE. ARE LARGELY CONSISTENT WITH
WHAT WE NEGOTIATED IN AB TWENTY
SEVEN SIXTY TWO. NUMBER ONE IT'S
A IT'S A CONSISTENT DEFINITION
OF INGREDIENT- NUMBER TWO AS
MENTIONED EARLIER INTENTIONALLY
ADDED IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL.
NUMBER THREE LANGUAGE AROUND-
TECHNICALLY UNAVOIDABLE TRACE
CONTAMINANTS MUST BE INCLUDED AS
GUARDRAILS IN THE BILL. NUMBER
FOUR WE'D ALSO LIKE TO SEE AN
INTERNATIONAL DEFINITION OF P.
FIVE US BECAUSE OUR MEMBERS
OPERATE GLOBALLY ANDNO THOSE
INTERNATIONAL DEFINITIONS AND
RECOGNIZE THEM AND KNOW HOW TO
COMPLY WITH THEM. NUMBER FOUR IS
A SOUTH OF PERIOD SO THAT
RETAILERS AREN'T BURDENED WITH
HAVING TO DISPOSE OF THESE
MATERIALS UPON THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THIS BILL WHICH COULD.
CREATE AN ENVIRONMENTAL- BURDEN
BECAUSE THOSE PRODUCTS HAVE TO
BE DISPOSED OF AS HAZARDOUS
WASTE. AND THEN FINALLY A
DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION DATE THAT
ALIGNS WITH AB TWENTY SEVEN
SIXTY TWO ONCE AGAIN PASSED BY
THIS BODY WHICH IS JANUARY ONE
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. WE LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS
WITH THE AUTHOR AND THE SPONSORS
AND THANKS FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU AND I
WILL CALL ON DR J. ANSELL AFTER
WE GET THROUGH WITH A WITNESSES
AT A RENDERING SO WHO HAD COME
FORWARD AND- HELLO. THANK YOU

ASSOCIATION WITH MEMBERSHIP.
COMPRISING OF BUSINESSES ACROSS
THE FRAGRANCE OF POT CHAIN- IN
ADDITION TO THE CONCERNS AND
AMENDMENTS LAID OUT BY ME DEEPLY
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT
THE BROAD DEFINITION. OF P. FAST
IN THIS BILL WOULD REMOVE HF
FOES WHICH ARE USED AS AEROSOL
PROPELLANTS FROM THE COSMETIC
MARKET. AGE OF THOSE OF EMERGED
AS IT. AN AEROSOL AT THAT THE U.
S. EPA HAS DEEMED ACCEPTABLE AS
IT RELATES TO HUMAN HEALTH AND
THE ENVIRONMENT. HFO IS A VERY
LOW GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL AND
REDUCE GROUND LEVEL OZONE
FORMATION GIVING THEM AN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN REACHING
CALIFORNIA'S CLIMATE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL GOALS. FOR EXAMPLE
THE HFO ONE TWO THREE FOUR Z. E.
AEROSOL PROPELLANT IS VITAL FOR
MANUFACTURERS TO HAVE AVAILABLE
FOR COMPLIANCE WITH UPCOMING
LOWER VOC LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY
CAR. IN CONTRAST TO BE FAST EACH
OF THOSE ARE NOT PERSISTENT OR
BIO ACCUMULATIVE FURTHER THE U.
S. EPA'S WORKING DEFINITION FOR
THEIR P. FOSS REPORTING ROLE.
ESTABLISHED UNDER THE BY AN
ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT INCLUDE
HFO IS AN TO THE EPA'S MASTER
LIST OF NINE THOUSAND P. FAST
SUBSTANCES THAT WAS REFERENCED
IN THE ANALYSIS DOES NOT INCLUDE
THE HFO ONE TWO THREE FOUR Z. E.
WE RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN
AMENDMENT TO ALLOW THE USE OF
EACH OPPOSE GIVEN THEIR ROLE IN
ACHIEVING CALIFORNIA'S OVERALL
CLIMATE AMBITIONS. AND PROVIDING
SAFE PRODUCTS TO CONSUMERS WE
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR AND

COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF THE AUTHOR
. SEEING NONE I DO HAVE A MOTION
AND- OKAY SERVICE. M. AT LEAST
REMEMBER SERVICE THING THANKS
FOR IN THE BILL I THINK I AM YOU
KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE EVERYBODY
INCLUDING OPPOSITION FOR THOSE
THAT WE HEARD FROM TODAY AGREE
THAT- MORE P. FAST COULD BE
REMOVED FROM THE LIST THAT WE
PASSED UNDER MEROM STRATEGY
FELL. IN A RIVER HAVE YEARS AGO
I WAS- BUT I GUESS I'M A LITTLE
BIT. I'M JUST CURIOUS WHY THIS
BILL ISN'T SORT OF USING THE
SAME FRAMEWORK AND JUST ADDING
THOSE P. FAST TO MR MERCER TWO
THREE MARKETING WORK FOR TWO
YEARS ON I THINK. WE GOT TO A
REALLY GOOD PLACE. WELL BECAUSE-
THERE'S A WHOLE RANGE OF THESE
PRODUCTS AND WHAT SOMETIMES
HAPPENS IS THAT THE FORMULA A-
BILL CHANGE A LITTLE BIT OF THE
FORMULATION BUT ESSENTIALLY
YOU'RE STILL DOING. THE FAUCET.
SO IT'S BETTER TO WHAT IT COMES
TO LARGE CLASSES OF CHEMICALS
LIKE THIS TO ADDRESS THEM AS A
CLASS. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T TAKE
MUCH FOR THEM TO TWEAK IT AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT'S ON THE LIST
HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS WHOLE
LONG PROCESS AGAIN. OKAY THAT'S
THAT'S WHY IT HASN'T WORKED TO
DO IT SORT OF ONE BY ONE. SO
COULD WE HAVE THE WHOLE CLASS OF
P. FIVE TO THE FRAMEWORK CREATED
BY THE- I. WHATEVER THE NUMBER
WITH A CUSTOMER SEARCHES FELL
TWENTY SEVEN SEVENTY SIX YOU
KNOW I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT
THAT BILL TO KNOW HOW MUCH OF IT
IS A LINE- BUT THAT'S
ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE DOING IS
WE'RE TRYING TO ADD TO. THE
CLASS OF CHEMICALS BECAUSE RIGHT
NOW EVEN AFTER THAT THE OLDER
STILL. RIGHT WAY TOO MUCH OF
THIS IN THE PRODUCTS AND IT'S
STILL GETTING INTO THE WATER. SO
WE FEEL THAT WE NEED TO HAVE AN
YOU KNOW ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION
TO REALLY FROM ALL THAT OUT. AND
I AND I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AND-
AS I SAID. WHEN I BEGAN I HAVE.
A SUPPORT I GUESS. YOU KNOW PART
OF WHAT I THINK WORK THIS
COMMITTEE WORKED. HARD ON IN
THAT PROCESS AND IF YOU WANT TO
SPEAK TO THIS. WAS THIS PIECE
ABOUT. YOU KNOW THAT AT. WITH WE
COMMENTED ON ABOUT. THE YOU KNOW
THE UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED THAT
YOU KNOW THE PARTS THAT ARE
COMING FROM SAY WATER OTHER
INGREDIENTS AND I THINK IT'S
CRITICAL THAT WE- YOU KNOW MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE- DOING THAT
WHICH I THINK. MR RESEARCH YOU
DID A GOOD JOB OF MAKING SURE
WAS DONE IN THE END OF HIS BILL
BUT IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE NOW BACK
TO SQUARE ONE AND I'M JUST
FEELING LIKE. WHY RE WE
RENEGOTIATING. VINEGARS YEAH.
BACK TO SQUARE ONE I FEEL LIKE
WE'RE BUILDING ON THE- EXCELLENT
WORK THAT HE DID. IS REALLY
WHAT'S HAPPENING. FORGET AT OKAY
DO IT SO I GUESS I'D WANT TO
HEAR FROM OF YOU I ARE YOU
COMMITTEE TO GETTING TO
BASICALLY WHERE WE GOT TO IN
TWENTY SEVEN SEVENTY SIX WHICH
WAS INSURING THAT THOSE FILES
THAT ARE NOT INTENSELY ADDED
THAT ARE JUST IN THE ENVIRONMENT
THAT END UP IN THESE PRODUCTS
ARE NOT PART OF WHAT WE'RE
FOCUSED ON. DIFFERENT TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND SO WE ARE WORKING
WITH THE COSMETIC INDUSTRY TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS
INTENTIONALLY ADDED ACCOUNT WE
DON'T WANNA YOU KNOW WE ALSO
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S NOT
SORT OF THIS LOOPHOLE AND HE
COULDN'T THEY THEY CAN JUST SAY
HEY WE DON'T MEAN TO SO WE'RE
WORKING WITH THEM AND YOU KNOW
IF YOU LOOK AT THE LETTER OF
SUPPORT THERE'S ACTUALLY A LOT
OF COSMETIC COMPANIES HAVE
SIGNED ON IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL- AND- AS YOU HEARD EVEN THE
OPPOSITION. I KNOW WE HAVE TO DO
THIS THEY KNOW THERE'S STILL A
PROBLEM SO WE'RE WE ARE
COMMITTED TO CONTINUING WORKING
WITH THEM AND THE FACT THAT I
DID REACH OUT TO THEM BEFORE WE
EVEN STEP TO SAY WE'RE THINKING
OF DOING THIS WHAT ARE YOUR
THOUGHTS AND- WE WE'VE BEEN
WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THEM
AND I THINK I'M BECAUSE THEY'VE
BEEN REALLY GOOD PARTNERS AND
WILL CONTINUE TO YOU KNOW WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS
DOABLE FOR THAT WE'RE NOT HOW TO
DO A GUY. WE WANT TO PUSH THEM.
ALL THE MANUFACTURER. WE CLING.
THEIR ACT. BECAUSE NONE OF US.
WE ALL WANT TO. HELLO THOUGH HE
BUYS A- ON THE SHOW. HERE THAT
WE KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT HURTING
OURSELVES. ARE HEARD AND WATER
SUPPLIES WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THEM. SEVEN CAN YOU ADDRESS
THE- M. TICKET. THE ANALYSIS
ACTUALLY TALKED. CHAU WHICH I'D
NEVER. BEFORE READING THE
ANALYSIS OF THE HONEST- BUT- ARE
WE ADDRESSING THAT CONCERN.
ANALYSIS IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE
THERE'S ANY EVIDENCE THAT
THAT'S- POSING THE SAME CONCERN
THE P. FIVE SAYS. SO WE FEEL
THAT THE EVEN THOUGH INNER
DIDN'T REFRIGERATE AND
REFRIGERATE INDUSTRY THESE ARE
SAFE PRODUCTS BUT THERE'S ALSO
EVIDENCE THAT WHETHER YOU SOME
PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS THAT COME
IN CONTACT WITH WATER THEY TURN
INTO ANOTHER MATERIAL. WHICH IS
CALLED TFA WHICH DOES HAVE
NEGATIVE HEALTH IMPACTS SO WE'RE
SAYING FINE USE THAT IN YOUR
REFRIGERATION PRODUCTS BUT LET'S
NOT PUT INTO PRODUCTS THAT WERE
SPRING ON OUR BODIES THAT END UP
NEXT IN WATER. BECAUSE THOSE
HEALTH IMPACTS IT'S NOT SO CLEAR
ABOUT THAT SO BENIGN. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION BUT- WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE SAFE
BECAUSE THERE ARE KNOWN
ALTERNATIVES RIGHT NOW THAT ARE
USED. AT OUR STATE WHICH IS
COMPRESSED AIR OR NITROGEN. AND
ALSO THE OF THE H. OPPOSE ARE
NOT. MEDICS AT THIS POINT SO YOU
KNOW IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S
GOING TO DISRUPT WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN COSMETICS WE JUST
DON'T WANT THEM TO BE USED UNTIL
WE KNOW THAT THEY'RE REALLY SAFE
YOU KNOW IN PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS. VERITY AND VERITY
BEING I DON'T KNOW AND IT SOUNDS
LIKE THEY'RE BEING USED IN
AEROSOLS RIGHT WHICH ARE YOU.
KNOW THEY'RE NOT. OKAY SURE.
SURE IF I COULD- EACH OF THOSE
ARE JUST NOW BEING- THE PLAN IS
TO INTRODUCE THEM AS AN AEROSOL.
AND ACCORDING TO EWG HAS ITS
LARGE SKIN DEEP DATABASE AND WE
HAVE ABOUT SEVENTY THOUSAND.
PRODUCTS THAT WE HAVE-
INGREDIENTS FOR AND WE DID A
POLL OF THAT. AND FOUND THAT
ONLY TWO OF THOSE PRODUCTS
CONTAINED IT H. F. O.'S OKAY.
AND SO IT'S OUR UNDERSTANDING-
FROM. TALKING WITH THE
MANUFACTURERS THAT. THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE POISED
TO BRING INTO THE MARKET AND SO
WE WOULD JUST HOPE THAT THEY
WOULD. MAYBE TRY TO PIT YOU KNOW
AWAY BECAUSE IT IT DOES ACTUALLY
BREAK DOWN INTO ANOTHER TYPE OF
P. FAST WHICH IS THE TFA THAT IS
A PERSISTENT CHEMICAL. IN THE
ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE CONCERNED
WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE
CONTACT M. AS A CHILD OF THE
EIGHTIES WHO LEFT MY HAIR SPRAY.
AND REMEMBERS WHEN WE ALL HAD TO
GET RID OF OUR AEROSOL HAIRSPRAY
IS BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT ON. THE
VARMINTS- AND I KNOW THAT SOME
OF OUR FRIEDMAN IS ALWAYS
LOOKING OUT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
AND ENVIRONMENT JUST MAKING SURE
THAT IT ISN'T SORT OF A MORE
BENEFICIAL. USE THE WORD
WEIGHING ALL OF THE- THINGS THAT
ARE HAPPENING HERE YET- THE TFA
IS VERSUS THE IMPACT THAT THESE
PRODUCTS HAVE A MUCH. LARGER
GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT. AND THEN MY
LAST QUESTION WAS THE AND THE
QUESTION ABOUT THE SELL THROUGH
DATE AND THE IMPLEMENTATION
DATE. HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT
AND WHETHER OR NOT THERE WILL BE
TIME FOR THESE INDUSTRIES TO.
GET RID OF WHAT'S ALREADY ON THE
SHELVES ARE IN THE MARKET WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
WITH THEM. YEAH.
WITH A HUGE HAZARDOUS WASTE
PROBLEM. OUT LAUGHING. THANK YOU
MR THANK YOU VERY MUCH OF A
SIMILAR POWER QUE HAN I DID SEE
THE OPPOSITION FLINCH OUT THERE
BUT I'M GONNA GO TO ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MAYOR SEARCHING FOR
RESPONSIBLE. THANK YOU I JUST
WANTED TO THANK A- ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FRIEDMAN FOR. TRYING TO
FINISH TO WHAT I CONSIDER
UNFINISHED BUSINESS OF EFFORT
FROM MY BILL FROM TWENTY TWENTY-
YOU KNOW THE SAME. SCIENCE
APPLIES TO- B. A CLASS OF P.
FOSS THAT THAT YOUR- SEEKING TO
BAN- AS AS THE CHEMICALS FOR MY
TWENTY TWENTY BILL ON THAT THE
SAME. CANCER CAUSING
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH HARMING.
DEVELOPMENT DISABILITY CAUSING-
PROPENSITIES OF THESE CHEMICALS-
HEY I JUST WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR
FOR THE- FOR THIS COMMITTEE
THAT- THAT- YOU KNOW THE ONLY
REASON WHY WE DIDN'T INCLUDE
THESE AND OUR EARLIER BILL WAS
BECAUSE- OUR EARLIER OUR
REGIONAL VERSION OF OUR BILL.
DIED IN THE ASSEMBLY HEALTH
COMMITTEE AND SO WAS IT WAS A
MORE OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE OF THE
POLITICS RATHER THAN THE POLICY-
BUT I AM FULLY IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL. YOU'RE TRYING TO

MOVEMENT BACK THERE. WE CALLING
WITNESSES BACK UP YES SHE PICKED
SHE HAS TO BE CALLED BACK UP SO
YES. GO AHEAD. I JUST M. IT
REALLY ANSWERED IT BUT YES WE
ARE MOVING INTO HFO IS FOR
MANUFACTURING OF SOME AEROSOL
PRODUCTS AND AS A MEMBER
FRIEDMAN DID MENTION COMPRESSED
GAS IS AN OPTION IN SOME PRODUCT
THAT'S NOT ALL- I WILL NOTE THAT
WITHOUT- THIS HFO WHICH IS
REPLACING THE HSCS DUE TO A TWO
YEAR. MAYBE THREE YEAR-
REGULATORY PROCESS WE CONDUCTED
A CARB OUT WITHOUT IT-
MANUFACTURES MAY HAVE TO MOVE TO
BUTANE- WHICH IS FLAMMABLE BUT
WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT UP BY THIS
BILL SO- AGAIN JUSTIN WEIGHING
THOSE ALTERNATIVES- AT THE
POSSIBILITY. THANK YOU FOR. I DO
HAVE A LOOK I DO HAVE A MOTION

FORTY SIX ASSEMBLY MEMBER BAUER
K. HAND NEONICOTINOID PESTICIDES
PROHIBITED NON AGRICULTURAL USE
. PLEASE GO AHEAD. THANK YOU AND
THANK YOU FOR THAT VERY STRONG
CLARIFICATION THERE AND I WANT
TO THINK THAT CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR
INCREDIBLE WORK ON THIS BILL
OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS AND
WE'VE REALLY BEEN A PARTNERSHIP
FOR COULD THINK GIVEN MAYBE A
YEAR- TO TRY TO GET TO WHERE WE
ARE TODAY AND I THINK IT'S IN A
REALLY GOOD PLACE AND THAT'S IN
LARGE PART DUE TO YOUR EFFORTS
SO I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL. AT
SO BECAUSE OF THE COMMITTEES
THAT REQUEST I WANT TO BE CLEAR
I'M ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS TO
BETTER REFLECT THE NEEDS OF
CALIFORNIA WHICH IS MOVING TO
RESTRICT. AN ASSOCIATION CLARIFY
. THAT IT'S FOR AGRICULTURAL
USES ONLY. AND SHORING UP THE
EMERGENCY YOU MEAN NON
AGRICULTURAL NOT A GREAT THANK
YOU. BAKER CULTURALLY THAT. M.
SO WE'RE HERE TODAY REALLY TO
FOCUS ON WHAT IS A PROBLEM
PLAGUING CALIFORNIA AND TO BE
FRANK THE ENTIRE WORLD WHICH IS
AB THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE KILLING
OUR BEE POPULATION WHICH ARE
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO
BIODIVERSITY BUT ALSO TO OUR
AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY-
CALIFORNIA BEEKEEPERS LOST OVER
41% OF THEIR EARNINGS LAST YEAR
ONE OF THE WORST YEARS ON
RECORD. EVIDENCE IS MOUNTING
THAT THIS PRIMARILY CAUSED BY
PESTICIDES AND SPECIFICALLY THE
CLASS OF PESTICIDES WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT TODAY
NEONICOTINOIDS LHASA POLLINATORS
ENDANGERS UPWARDS OF ELEVEN
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY IN
STATE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
AND IS ALREADY LIMITING DEALS
AND DRIVING UP FOOD PRICES THIS
IS REALLY IMPORTANT WHEN WE
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BEES TO
POLLINATE OUR PLANTS FOOD IS
HARDER TO GROW AND PRICES RISE
AND RIGHT NOW WITH PRICES RISING
ALREADY IN FOOD AND OTHER
NECESSITIES IT'S REALLY CRITICAL
WE DO WHAT WE CAN. TO PROTECT
OUR FOOD CROPS CALIFORNIA HAS A
ROBOT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR
REGULATING PESTICIDES AND A
PERMANENT SIDE REGULATIONS HAS
ALREADY INCREASED RESTRICTIONS
OF NEONICOTINOIDS IN THE
AGRICULTURAL SETTING. THAT'S WHY
WE'RE FOCUSED ON NOT
AGRICULTURAL HERE TODAY- AND
THOSE ARE THE GAPS THAT WE SEE
FOR THE USE OF THESE CHEMICALS
NEONICOTINOID USE ON LAWNS
GARDENS AND GOLF COURSES IS
ALMOST ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY
USERS COVER THEIR PROPERTY WITH
GRANULES AND WATER THEM INTO THE
SOIL MANY LONDONERS DON'T EVEN
KNOW THIS IS HAPPENING THE
CHEMICALS PROCEED TO SEEP INTO
THE WATER SUPPLY TRAVEL TRIP TO
SPENDING IT'S AN ABSORBENT PLAN
THAT. NADER'S CONSUME. COMMENTS
ARE LEARN AS A I NEED AND ARE A-
BUT ALTERNATIVES LIKE DYNAMITE
THAT CAN REPLACE NEAR NEXT WHEN
NECESSARY. THE OPPOSITION'S
ARGUED THAT THE BILL LIMITS
NECESSARY USE OF NEONICS IN
ADDITION TO THESE NON
ALTERNATIVES I WANNA BE CLEAR
ABOUT THE WHAT THE BILL EXEMPTS
THE BILL INCLUDES EXEMPTIONS TO
ALLOW FOR EXTERMINATION USE USE
FOR INVASIVE SPECIES AND OTHER
NECESSARY USES THE POSE LIMITED
RISK TO POLLINATORS. OTHER
COUNTRIES AND STATES WE WON'T BE
THE FIRST DAY AND THEN YOU NEED
TO DO THIS HAVE ALREADY
RECOGNIZE THE HARMS OF NEONICS.
THEY ALREADY ARE BANNED IN THE
EUROPEAN UNION FOR NEARLY ALL
USES THE NEW JERSEY HAS BANDS
THEIR NON AGRICULTURAL USE IN
EXACTLY THE WAY WERE
CONTEMPLATING TODAY. IT'S TIME
THE CALIFORNIA CATCHES UP WITH
THE REST OF THE WORLD TO ADDRESS
THE LOSS OF OUR POLLINATORS AND
THE HEALTH OF OUR ENVIRONMENT
WITH ME TODAY IN SUPPORT ARE

AFTERNOON TWENTY MEMBERS MY NAME
IS ANDREA WILLIAMS I'M THE
DIRECTOR BY THE NATION'S FOR THE
CALIFORNIA NATIVE PLANT SOCIETY.
ARE JOINING THEIR STUFF I HAD
OVER TWENTY YEARS EXPERIENCE IN

STATE. THAT INCLUDES OUR BE SOME
WHICH ARE NOWHERE ELSE ON OUR-
WHEN YOU'RE REALLY ADVANCEMENT
THAT DIVERSITY IS THREATEN BY
NEARLY MOVES SOMETIMES YEARS. UP
SCIENTISTS HAVE FOUND THE ANNEX
AND WE PLAN TO MANY SIX YEAR

GENERATION. I AM ON THE PHONE OF
THE FOOD WEB THE AND THE EFFECTS
ARE SEEN IN FISH REPTILES CROSS
ENAMEL INCLUDE WAKE TIRE
MORTALITY RATES PARTICULAR FOR
YOUNG ANIMALS- WERE WITH
COMMUNITIES WITH LEARNED THAT
THE MAIN REASON MANY PEOPLE
GARDEN WITH PLANTS WHICH TO
CREATE HAVOC. FOR BIRDS ABOUT A
ANOTHER WOULD BE. THAT'S WHY
MANY OF THE NATIVE PLANTS IS A
LOT ABOUT THE NUMBERS OF
ALLOCATED AGAINST UNIX WHICH THE
YEAR. YES SUPPORTERS BILL WHICH
MAKES IT EASY FOR PEOPLE ON AND
HARM AND- I THINK THE CAN FOR
THEIR ATTENTION AND I BELIEVE
WITH THIS ON THE LINE TO OTHER
CONTENT- HELP. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. ANDREA OUR NEXT FOR LOW.
ROWE AND ARE. PLEASE GO AHEAD
MISTER KIRK YOU HEAR ME ARE YEAH
YEAH. THE FACT THAT I GET UP TO
MEMBERS OF THE AND THANK YOU FOR
TAKING UP THIS CRITICAL BILL HI
MY NAME IS LUCAS ROAD CONTEST ON
BEHALF OF AN RDC AND ARE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS IN
CALIFORNIA- URGE THE COMMITTEE
TO ADVANCE AB TWENTY ONE FORTY
SIX. FOLLOW PETE MADE OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION NEW JERSEY AND
MAINE THE BAN ON HARMFUL AND
UNNECESSARY USES OF NEONICS HAVE
BEEN GREAT I'VE EXPLAINED
MUNICH'S HAVE WIDESPREAD
ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS THEY'VE BEEN
IDENTIFIED AS THE LEADING CAUSE
OF BEE DECLINES FRIGHTENING
POLLINATOR SERVICES THAT SUPPORT. CALIFORNIA'S AGRICULTURAL
ECONOMY. ALSO WHEN COULD NOT
THE- CLUB AQUATIC KEEP. AND EVEN
BIRTH DFECTS IN WHITE TAILED
DEER. OUTDOOR NON AGRICULTURAL
USES TARGETED BY THIS BILL ARE
CONTRIBUTING SIGNIFICANTLY TO
THIS CRISIS. WHAT ARE CUTTING
BACK CALIFORNIA DPR HAS FOUND AT
LEAST ONE UNIT IN 92% OF SURFACE
WATER SAMPLES IN URBAN AREAS OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA STRONGLY
SUGGESTING THAT NON AGRICULTURAL
USES OF NEONICS ARE A MAJOR
SOURCE OF POLLUTION. IT ALSO
PROVIDES EVIDENCE OF UBIQUITOUS
CONTAMINATION OF NOT JUST
CALIFORNIA'S BORDER BUT ALSO
IT'S SO IT'LL AND PLANT LIFE.
INSEMINATION EVEN EXTENDS TO OUR
BODIES CDC MONITORING SHOWS THAT
HALF OF AMERICANS ARE EXPOSED TO
NEONICS ON ANY GIVEN DAY BUT THE
HIGHEST LEVELS FOUND IN
CHILDREN. RESEARCH INDICATES
INCREASINGLY INDICATE CAUSE FOR
CONCERN ABOUT EXPOSURE TO THESE
NEUROTOXIC CHEMICALS. MEDINA
LOGICAL STUDIES LINKING UNIX
WITH INCREASED RISK OF
MALFORMATIONS OF THE DEVELOPING
HEART AND BRAIN AND RODENT
STUDIES LINKING THE ANNEX WITHIN
OUR LOGICAL AND REPRODUCTIVE
HARMS. WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO
ALLOW NEEDLESS EXPOSURE TO THESE
CHEMICALS. THE VAST MAJORITY OF
NON AGRICULTURAL USES ARE
UNNECESSARY FOR REPLACEABLE.
BECAUSE NEONICS ARE SYSTEMIC
THEY'RE ALMOST ALWAYS APPLIED
PREVENTIVELY BEFORE THERE IS ANY
EVIDENCE OF A PATH PROBLEM SO IN
MANY CIRCUMSTANCES THE BEST
ALTERNATIVE TO USING NEONICS IS
NOTHING. BUT EVEN WHERE THERE
THE PAST PROBLEM THERE ARE OTHER
EFFECTIVE AND LESS HARMFUL
OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR ALL THESE
REASONS NRDC STRONGLY SUPPORT
THIS BILL AND REQUEST HER AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. VERY
GOOD THANK YOU ALL RIGHT- NEXT
I'D LIKE TO HEAR THE PRIMARY-
WITNESS IN OPPOSITION. AND.
LET'S SEE I HAVE PLEASE COME
FORWARD. YEAH YEAH I JUST THAT
HAVE A SEAT WE LIKE TO SEE YOU.
YOU'RE ONE OF OUR FRIENDS. GOOD
AFTERNOON I'M CHAIR MEMBERS KNOW
COOKING UNITS AGAIN HERE AGAIN
ON THAT- BEHALF OF THE HOUSEHOLD
AND COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS
ASSOCIATION WHOSE MEMBER
COMPANIES MANUFACTURE NON
AGRICULTURAL USE NEONICOTINOID
BASED PRODUCTS OTHER USED TO
CONTROL PESTS SUCH AS BED BUGS
FLIES- STINK BUGS COCKROACHES-
CERTAIN INVASIVE SPECIES AND-
CONTROLLING PAT PASSED- INSECTS
SUCH AS FLEAS AND TICKS-
CONSUMER PASS PRODUCTS ALLOW
CALIFORNIANS THE ABILITY TO
CLEAN AND PROTECT THEIR HOMES
AGAINST A VARIETY OF PUBLIC
HEALTH PASS WITH SAFE AND
AFFORDABLE PRODUCTS WITHOUT
ACCESS TO SUCH PRODUCTS.
CONSUMERS MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN
TAKING NO ACTION AGAINST THESE
PASS OR PAYING SOMEONE TO
PERFORM THOSE SERVICES AS THE
ANALYSIS EXPLAINS AN APPLICATION
OF NEARLY SIX- HAVE BEEN
EVALUATED BY THE U. S. EPA ANTI
PR FOR BOTH ECOLOGICAL AND HUMAN
HEALTH EFFECTS AND THE EPA IS
CURRENTLY UNDERTAKING
REGISTRATION REVIEW OF THE CLASS
OF NEW ANNEX AND EXPECTED TO
FINALISE EVALUATIONS IN TWENTY
TWENTY TO. WELL WE APPRECIATE
THE INTENT OF THE AUTHOR. AB
TWENTY ONE FORTY SIX ADDRESS THE
USES OF MUNICH PRODUCTS THAT
WERE NOT A PART OF DPR IS A
VALUATION. AT WHICH LOOKS AT OUR
CULTURAL USES IT IS IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT DPR CHOSE NOT TO
EVALUATE- RISK IS TO INDOOR USES
STRUCTURAL USES AND NON
AGRICULTURAL OUTDOOR USES SUCH
AS LAWNS GARDENS AND GOLF
COURSES. DUE TO LACK OF
POLLINATOR EXPOSURE- I. E. NOT
ATTRACTIVE TO BEES NO FOOD
SOURCES FOR BEES TO FEED ON AND
LOWER USE RATES OR LACK OF
WIDESPREAD USE ABOUT A QUOTE
FROM A DOCUMENT THAT THEY PUT
OUT. THAT WE ALSO APPRECIATE THE
EXEMPTIONS IN THE BILL HOWEVER
WOULD NOTE THAT WHILE THE BILL
EXEMPTS PRODUCTS USED ON. PETS
TO TREAT FLEAS AND TICKS
PRODUCTS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO
BE USED ON PLANTS WHERE THOSE
FLEAS AND TICKS LIVE AND ARE
PICKED UP BY PETS AND BROUGHT
INTO THE HOME. THEREFORE LEAVING
CONSUMERS WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO
PREVENT FLEA AND TICK
INFESTATIONS. WE SUPPORT
INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE POLITY-
HEALTH AND BELIEVE IT ITS COMPS
GROWTH COMPLEXITY CALLS FOR
THOUGHTFUL STAKEHOLDER ENGAGE
SOLUTIONS WE ALSO SUPPORT
CONTINUED RESEARCH ON THE REST
TO BE HEALTH AND READILY
ACKNOWLEDGE. THE CRITICAL
IMPORTANCE OF POLLINATORS TO OUR
ECOSYSTEM AND ECONOMY. HOWEVER
IN RECOGNITION OF THE WORK BY
THE USEPA AND THE LACK OF
ADEQUATE SCIENCE TO SUPPORT THIS
MEASURE WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE
AB TWENTY ONE FORTY SIX THANK.
VERY GOOD. GO AHEAD. MISTER
CHAIRMAN BRIDGE THE COMMITTEE
LOUIS BROWN HERE TODAY ON BEHALF
OF CALIFORNIA CITRUS MUTUAL- AND
A NUMBER OF OTHER AGRICULTURAL
ORGANIZATIONS WESTERN PLANT
HEALTH ASSOCIATION AND OTHERS.
IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL- AND
WANT TO FIRST EXPRESS OUR
APPRECIATION TO THE AUTHOR- AND-
CLEARLY THE INTENT THAT SHE'S
MADE TO- NOT TO BRING
AGRICULTURAL USES INTO THE BILL.
I DO BELIEVE THAT THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS HELP MOVE IT IN THAT
DIRECTIONS BY TAKING OUT THE
LANGUAGE DEALING WITH
RESTRICTED. USE PRODUCTS.
HOWEVER WE STILL HAVE SOME
CONCERNS WITH THE BILL IS THE
WAY IT'S- SET UP. PRIMARY
CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THE-
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL DEALING
WITH THE EMERGENCY-
AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENT
EMERGENCY. HOW IT OULD PUT TO
THE DIRECTOR OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF PESTICIDE REGULATION. IN THE
LEAD OF ACTUALL DETERMINE WHEN
THERE IS A PASSED EMERGENCY. HI
DPR THEY'RE GREAT WHAT THEY DO
BUT THEY'RE TOXICOLOGIST THEY'RE
NOT ENTOMOLOGISTS. AND SO IT'S
CDFA- THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE THE
DETERMINES INVASIVE PESTS LOOKS
AT INVASIVE PRESS PROGRAMS.
ESTABLISHES QUARANTINES
ESTABLISH MEDICATION MEASURES-
THAT DEALS WITH THOSE TYPES OF
ISSUES AND SO. I THINK THAT THAT
NEEDS TO BE A REALLY RE THOUGHT
ABOUT- IF WE'RE MOVING DOWN THAT
PATHWAY. THEN WE HAVE THE
EXAMPLE OF THE CALIFORNIA'S
CITRUS INDUSTRY- THAT- REALLY
HAS THIS INTERFACE WITH URBAN
USE OF PRODUCTS. HOW WE'VE BEEN
FIGHTING THE ASIAN CITRUS
PSYLLID WHICH TRANSMITS ONE LONG
BANG FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
THERE ARE MORE BACKYARD CITRUS
TREES IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
THEN THERE ARE CITRUS TREES IN
PRODUCTION. AND IT'S THOSE
BACKYARD CITRUS TREES WERE WE
FOUND THAT THEY HARBOR AND THEY
SPREAD THE ASIAN CITRU PSYLLID.
AND SO WE IN THE CITRUS INDUSTRY
HAVE INVESTED MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS OVER THE LAST DECADE. ON
A PROGRAM THAT DOES EDUCATION
AND OUTREACH TO THOSE CONSUMERS
TO BETTER PROTECT THEIR TREES.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE'S PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR
THAT. NOT ONLY SO CONSUMERS CAN
CONTINUE TO HAVE BACK ARE COME
CHRIS AT. CITRUS TREES. BUT THAT
THEY DON'T CREATE THAT
ADDITIONAL HARM. AND EXPOSURE-
TO THE TWO BILLION DOLLAR
COMMERCIAL CITRUS INDUSTRY. AND
OUR FINAL POINT WOULD BE MORE ON
JUST A LITTLE BIT OF PRINCIPLE
WE DO HAVE THE DEPARTMENT OF
PESTICIDE REGULATION IT IS WORLD
RENOWNED. FOR ITS TOXICOLOGIST
AND THE MITIGATION MEASURES IN
THE SCIENCE THAT ARE PUT INTO
THE REGISTRATION OF PRODUCTS
AFTER A PRODUCT IS REGISTERED AT
USEPA IT TAKES ANOTHER THREE TO
FIVE YEARS. ANOTHER TENS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO REGISTER
THAT PRODUCT FOR THE USE IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA IF WE THINK
THAT THEY'RE RE. MISSED THE
MARK- AS IT RELATES TO THESE
PRODUCTS THEN LET'S ASK THEM TO
DO IT AGAIN THEY CHOSE NOT TO
USE TO LOOK AT THE NON
AGRICULTURAL USES BECAUSE THEY
THOUGHT THE RISK WAS LOW. IF YOU
THE LEGISLATURE DISAGREED WITH
THAT RATHER THAN TAKING THE
CHEMISTRY AND TAKEN THE SCIENCE
INTO YOUR HANDS LET'S DIRECT
THEM TO GO BACK AND DO WHAT
THEY'RE PAID TO DO REEVALUATE
THAT SCIENCE AND COME BACK TO
ADDITIONAL LIMITATIONS. USE
RESTRICTIONS EXCEPT FOR IF THAT
THE SCIENCE LEAD TO MINUTE
DIRECTION THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH NOW WILL. CAN FOR MY
OKAY SORRY FOR ALL OPEN THE ROOM
TO TESTIMONY FIRST THAT'S IN
FAVOR AND THEN IMPOSED. GOOD
AFTERNOON MELISSA LEVY WITH

SORT OF OUR CONCERNS AND I KNOW

APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH- THAT
VERY MUCH BUT WE STILL HAVE
CONCERNS BASED ON OUR
DISCUSSIONS OF HOW THE SCIENCE I
DETERMINE THE PARTICULAR
EXEMPTION A ONE IN FOUR FEET.
NUMBER ROSSOW CONCERNED ABOUT
THE ROLE OF DPR WHAT THAT MEANS
IN TERMS OF HAVE HAVEN'T SPENT A
LOT TIME FOR MYSELF IT'S THE
DEFINITIVE PESTICIDE USE
ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT IN THE
COUNTRY SO WE THINK IT'S SUPPORT
WHAT THEY DO AS WELL. I THINK WE
ALSO WANT TO WITH AND WE ALSO
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
DO AS WELL SO- WE WOULD LOVE TO
CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS WITH YOU AS
WE PROCEED FOR THIS BILL AND
HOPE THAT- WE COULD MAY RESOLVE
SOME ISSUES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT

THE B. WHERE PROGRAM WE WORKED
AT I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE
THOSE POLLINATORS PLAY- I DID
WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON WHY WE
WOULD NOT I'M GOING TO BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL HERE TODAY
IN FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE. WHY
WOULD A NASTY PR TO EVALUATE NON
AG YOU. CONCLUSION I. THINK IT'S
LOGICAL FOR US TO. ASK THE
DEPARTMENT THAT'S MADE AN
ASSESSMENT WHY THEY DIDN'T JUST
IN TRYING TO GET CLARITY ON
THAT- SAUCE EVERYTHING BOTH THE
COMMITTEE AND I HAVE BEEN IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE PAIR
ABOUT THIS BILL AND I. I DON'T
KNOW THAT MY ASSESSMENT MY
CONVERSATIONS ALIGNS WITH THE
OPPOSITION THAT THEY THINK THIS
IS A NECESSARY I'LL SAY THAT-
THEY HAVE DONE INCREDIBLE WORK
IN THE AGRICULTURAL SPACE WHICH
I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF SMITH.
THAT'S WHAT I RECALLED HER IN
REALLY DEALING WITH SORT OF TIME
OF YEAR SPRAY RIGHT SO WHEN WE
DON'T EXPECT FLOWERS THEY ALLOW
IT WHEN WE DO HAVE FULL POWERS
THEY DON'T BECAUSE THAT REALLY
ALIGNS WITH. PROJECT MANAGERS
YOU THIS IS BEING USED IN OUR
I'M NOT A- REAL SETTINGS WHICH
IS. LOOSELY PUT ON YOUR GRASS
GLASSFORD LONG. AND THEN.
LAUGHED RATE IS IT JUST DOESN'T
ALIGN WITH THE SAME WAY WE SEE
AGRICULTURE. I'M GOING TO TELL
USERS DOING IT JUST THEY OPERATE
DIFFERENTLY THAN ARE AT HOME SO
IT DIDN'T FIT INTO THE SCHEME
THEY WERE USING AND THEY WERE
GOING DOWN THIS PATH. IT IS NOW
BEEN. OF SINCE THEY STARTED THE
PROCESS FOR OUR CULTURAL USES
AND THEY'RE GETTING THERE
THEY'RE NOT THERE YET BUT
THEY'RE GETTING THERE AND THAT'S
WHY WE ARE TOUCHING IT WE THINK
THEY'RE DOING A FINE JOB- BUT
THEY HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED
DISCUSSING THIS AND I'VE I AM
PERPLEXED AND I DID REACH OUT AS
I THINK THE OPPOSITION INDICATED
I REACHED OUT TO OUR
AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY HERE IN
SACRAMENTO TO TALK ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT I'M NOT ONLY
ARE WE NOT TARGETING THEM IN
THIS BILL WE BELIEVE THIS IS
BENEFICIAL FOR CALIFORNIA'S
AGRICULTURAL COMMUNITY THEY NEED
THESE BEES AND AS YOU HEARD.
FROM OUR WITNESS WHEN YOU'RE
FINDING NEW UNIX IN 92% OF WATER
SAMPLES COMING OUT OF LOS
ANGELES IT IS PREVALENT AND SO
IT IS GOING TO BE STILL JUST IN
ONE AREA. THE WE BELIEVE BELIEVE
THIS IS BENEFITS. FOR
AGRICULTURE. TO SAY TO BE. DOING
THIS AT HOME. NOT TO DO IT AND
THEN AGAIN TO ALLOW IT UNDER THE
PR SYSTEM FOR THOSE THAT NEED A
NAP CULTURAL SETTING. AND WE DID
AND I WILL SPEAK ALSO TO WHAT
YOU HEARD FROM THE OPPOSITION
ABOUT INVASIVE SPECIES- WHICH
WAS ADDRESSED AN INJURED. YOU'RE
CHOOSING LAW THEY HAVE DIFFERENT
BASIC SPECIES BUT THE- PROBLEM.
HE SAID. WELL AND WE ARE
CONTINUING TO WORK ON THAT AND
WILL BECAUSE WE TRY TO ATTEMPT
THAT WE THOUGHT WE DID A GOOD
JOB BUT YOU DON'T ALWAYS GET IT
RIGHT THE FIRST. SO THIS. ISN'T
WHAT. WE DO. SAID CAL. I LOOK.
AT IT. TO OWN TODAY. BUT HLB.
FOR CITRUS. P. AND AGRICULTURE
COMMUNITY HEARING OUR STATE
QUITE A SO I LOOK FORWARD TO
THAT BEING RESOLVED BUT I'M
HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE BELTWAY
THANK. VERY GOOD DO YOU WANT TO
MAKE THAT A MORE. VERY GOOD.
OTHER COMMENTS. YOU MAY CLOSE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
THAT ALL RIGHT SO I WOULDN'T SAY
IT'S NOT ONLY POLLINATORS AND
EVEN WELL IN GERMANY THEY KNOW
THAT ABOUT 30% OF THEIR- OF
THEIR INSECTS TOTAL INSECT
POPULATION HAS GONE DOWN. THE
INSECTS ARE AT THE BASE OF THE
FOOD CHAIN. WINDOW IN THE US WE
DON'T HAVE THE SAME SORT OF LONG
TERM LOOK AT INSECTS WE NEED ANY
OF THAT. THE BIRD POPULATION
FROM USING THE DOPPLER RADAR IS
DOWN THIRTY PERCENT. GOOD ONE OF
THOSE IS LIKELY TO BE THE FACT
THAT THESE INSECTS THAT. WE
DON'T WANT CERTAIN PLACES REALLY
NEED TO BE IN OTHER PLACES TO
SUPPORT THE BIRD POPULATION AND
OTHER POPULATIONS THIS IS A BASE
OF THE FOOD CHAIN. IT IS VERY
CLEAR TO ME THAT THE NEO NECKS
ARE ENDEMIC IN THE ENVIRONMENT
AND THAT IS A REALLY BIG
PROBLEM- THE AUTHOR IS DEDICATED
TO MAKING SURE. THAT THE OUR OUR
ARMS GROWS ARE CITRUS GROVES ARE
PER ARE AND YOU KNOW IT IN TERMS
OF THE OPPOSITION YOU HAVE TO
BUT ASK. AND THIS IS ONE OF THE
SMARTEST PEOPLE I KNOW. AND A
VERY GOOD LEGISLATOR SHE WAS
BORN TO BE A LEGISLATOR- I AM
SURE. THAT THE- THAT WE WILL END
UP WITH THE BILL THAT PROTECTS
OUR CITRUS OUR AGRICULTURE
ENTERING CHECKS NOT JUST
POLLINATORS BUT ALL OF THEM THEY
ARE THE BASE OF THE FOOD CHAIN.
