COMMITTEE WILL BE ABLE TO

AS A SUB COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW AND
MISTER BLUE OUR ITEM NUMBER FIVE
AB TWENTY SEVEN NINETY ONE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBER. I HAVE A PLACE 2% AB
TWENTY SEVEN NINETY ONE WHICH
REQUIRES LEVYING OFFICERS SUCH
AS SHERIFFS AND MARSHALS WHO
SERVE PROCESS IN ORDER TO
RECEIVE DOCUMENTS FOR SERVICE BY
FAX OR OTHER ELECTRONIC MEANS
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
REQUEST CONTAINS AN ORIGINAL WET
SIGNATURE. AND WITHOUT
SUBSTANTIVE REVIEW. OF A VALID
COURT ORDER. I'D LIKE TO START
BY ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AND YOU THANK YOU
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR WORK
ON THIS BILL MISTER CHAIR-
CURRENTLY THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT IS TASKED WITH
SERVING COURT DOCUMENTS
INCLUDING RESTRAINING ORDERS AND
THE FILE LITIGANT ELECTS TO HAVE
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT. SERVE
THOSE COURT DOCUMENTS THE
LITIGANT MUST COMPLETE A REQUEST
FOR SERVICE FORM AND DELIVER THE
FORM AND THE COURT DOCUMENTS TO
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT IN
ORDER TO HAVE THEM SERVED. AT
PRESENT THESE REQUEST FOR
SERVICE FORMS ARE CREATED BY
EACH SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND
THE FORMS ARE UNIQUE TO EACH
COUNTY. IN MOST CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES THE REQUEST FOR SERVICE
FORM MUST BE PHYSICALLY SIGNED
BY THE APPLICANT USING A WET
SIGNATURE. AND DELIVERED IN
PERSON TO THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT WITH THE DOCUMENTS TO
BE SERVED AND IT SHOULD BE
OBVIOUS SAID THAT THESE
REQUIREMENTS PRESENTS SOME
OBSTACLES TO LOW INCOME AND
RURAL THAT AGAINST. WHO DO NOT
HAVE A MEANS OF OBTAINING A
PRINTED COPY OF COURT DOCUMENTS
THAT ARE FILED AND RECEIVED
ELECTRONICALLY FROM THE COURT.
NORWAY TO TRANSPORT PAPER
DOCUMENTS TO A DISTANT SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. ANOTHER CHALLENGE
THAT LITIGANTS ARE FACING IN
SOME COUNTIES IS THAT SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENTS HAVE ENGAGED IN A
SUBSTANTIVE REVIEW OF COURT
ORDERS ALREADY REVIEWED AND
SIGNED BY A JUDGE. IN THESE
SITUATIONS THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT MAKES ITS OWN
INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION AS TO
WHETHER THEY THINK THE ORDER IS
VALID. BEFORE THEY AGREE TO
SERVE THE ORDER. THIS PUTS
LITIGANTS IN THE AND REASONABLE
POSITION OF HAVING TO GO BACK TO
COURT AND ASK A JUDICIAL OFFICER
TO RECONSIDER ORDERS THAT THEY
ALREADY RULED ON. AND SENATE
APPROVED TO SATISFY THE
UNNECESSARY SCRUTINY OF A
PROCESS SERVER. OF THESE
CHALLENGES DELAY THE PROCESS AND
INCREASE THE RISK OF HARM TO
LITIGANTS. SO AB TWENTY SEVEN
NINETY ONE MODERNIZES AND
STREAMLINES THE- CURRENT SYSTEM
TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES BY
REQUIRING. THE CREATION OF A
UNIFORM STATEWIDE SHARE
CONSTRUCTION FORM THAT WILL BE
UGH ARE PREPARED BY THE JUDICIAL
COUNCIL. IT ALSO REQUIRES
LEVYING OFFICERS TO ACCEPT
ELECTRONICALLY SIGNED SHARE
CONSTRUCTION FORMS AND TO ACCEPT
DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS FOR
SERVICE BY FAX OR ELECTRONIC
MAIL AND TO ACCEPT ANY ORDER FOR
SERVICE. AS LONG AS THE ORDER IS
SIGNED BY A JUDGE INCLUDING BY
ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE WITH A
COURT ENDORSEMENT OR SEAL. THIS
BILL IS PARTICULARLY CRUCIAL FOR
ABUSE SURVIVORS WHO RELY HEAVILY
ON THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT FOR
SERVICE OF COURT DOCUMENTS
BECAUSE IN MANY CASES ESPECIALLY
WHERE FIREARMS MAY BE INVOLVED
SHARE SERVICE IS FAR SAFER FOR
THE VICTIM. I AM PLEASED TO BE
JOINED BY AMANDA CHANG Q. WITH
THE LOS ANGELES CENTER FOR LAW
AND JUSTICE AND STEPHANIE PENROD
WITH THE FAMILY VIOLENCE
VIOLENCE LAWCENTER WHO WILL BE
TESTIFYING REMOTELY IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL. THANK YOU MR WILL
AND I DO HAVE A MANDATE CHEN Q.
AND STEPHANIE PENROD. HAS LISTED
BOTH WITH US ON THE TELEPHONE.
AMANDA JANE Q. ARE YOU WITH US.
THANK YOU GO AHEAD PLEASE. AT
THE- IN GEORGETOWN AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE AND THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER PLAN I AM THE
GENTLEMAN YOUR FAMILY LAW
ATTORNEY AT THE LOS ANGELES
CENTER FOR LAW AND JUSTICE AND
WE SERVE LOW INCOME SURVIVORS OF
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT
AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND I
CURRENTLY RUN OUR STATE LIKE
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
PROJECT. THE PRACTICE OF THIS
YEAR DEPARTMENT ENGAGING IN THIS
GRATUITOUS. SUBSTANTIVE OF COURT
ORDERS HAVE BEEN HOW FOR WELL
OVER TEN YEARS TO AN UNKNOWN
NUMBER OF LITIGANTS. BUT THE
DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES ARE
EVIDENT FROM THE STORIES OF THE
SURVIVORS THAT WE CAN REACH. MY
COLLEAGUE PAULA CALLING FROM LA
FLAT ASSISTED A PREGNANT
SURVIVOR IN SEEKING A
RESTRAINING ORDER FOR HERSELF
AND HER UNBORN CHILD. AFTER
HISTORY OF ABUSE FROM A PARTNER
AND THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF THE
PARTY'S FIRST CHILD. HOWEVER THE
SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT REFUSED TO
SERVE A RESTRAINING ORDER A
ROHINGYA FLEE INSISTING THAT AN
UNBORN CHILD WAS NOT A VALID
PROTECTED PARTY. AND THAT THEY
NEEDED A NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH.
EVEN WITH. MY COLLEAGUES POLICY
ADVOCATES SAY THE SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT WINNING ADAMANT AND
THE ISSUE WOULD ONLY RESULT
AFTER THE JUDGE HERSELF CALLED
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT TO
INSIST THAT HER ORDER WAS VALID. AND SHOULD BE FACT. THE
REQUIRE OF PENSION SIX. THAT
HANDLE AFTER. AFTER EFFECTS ON
JULY. MICHAEL STEPHANIE PENROD
WILL TEST ABOUT THE NORTH CARE.
BUT WE HAVE THE STORIES AND SO
CAL. YEAH THAT'S SEVENTIES YEAR
OLD DISABLED SURVIVOR WHO WAS
TOLD SHE MUST HANDLE WEBER HER
RESTRAINING ORDER DOCUMENT. HE
NEARBY SHARE DEPARTMENT OR IN A
NEARBY COUNTY SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT OVER A HUNDRED AND
FIVE MILES AWAY WHICH IS ABOUT
THREE HOURS EACH WAY. WE HAVE
ANOTHER TV SURVIVOR WHO DROPPED
HER RESTRAINING ORDER AFTER SHE
WAS UNABLE TO TRAVEL IN PERSON.
TO THE SHERIFF'S. DEPARTMENT TO
REFLECT THEIR- THE LOADING
SURVIVORS THE ONES SUFFER. FROM
THESE PRACTICE BECAUSE BACK WHEN
SUMS AND WE- THEY OFTEN HAVE NO
OTHER ON. FOR OF. THE LAST LEVEL
TRANSFER. OR CHILDCARE AND
FINANCIAL RESOURCES THEY MAY
HAVE LANGUAGE BARRIERS- CYCLE
EMOTIONAL BARRIERS RELATED TO
TRAUMA OR DISABILITY. AND THE
EXAMPLE THAT WE SHARED TODAY ARE
OF THE LITIGANTS ARE LUCKY
ENOUGH TO HAVE LEGAL ASSISTANCE
IN NAVIGATING THESE BARRIERS.
BUT MOSTLY AGAINST DO NOT HAVE
AN ATTORNEY OR AN ADVOCATE AND
SOME OF THE MOST VULNERABLE
LITIGANTS ARE ATTEMPTING TO
NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM. WITHOUT
HELP AND SUPPORT. AB TWENTY
SEVEN NINETY ONE HELP SECURE
ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR SURVIVORS
OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL
ASSAULT. AND OTHERS BY ENSURING
THAT THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
COULD NOT IMPOSE UNREASONABLE
BARRIERS ON LITIGANTS ARE ASKING
THEM TO SERVE RESTRAINING ORDERS
AND OTHER DOCUMENTS. AND IT ALSO
BRINGS THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
IN LINE WITH THE PROGRESS OF THE
COURTS AND COUNTLESS OTHER
SYSTEM TO ARE NOW USING REMOTE
TECHNOLOGY TO ACCESS SERVICE
THAT. EXHAUSTED ALL OF OPTIONS
LOCAL TO TRY RESOLVE ISSUES WITH
ARTS DEPARTMENT BUT YOU KNOW
WITH. WHICH IS WHY WE SUPPORT
THE BUDGET. TO ADDRESS THESE AND

THIRTY YEARS AGO UNDER GEORGE H.
W. BUSH. IN NINETEEN NINETY.
ALTHOUGH THE LANDMARK POLICIES
OF THE PAST HAVE MADE MAJOR
STRIDES FOR THE DISABILITY
COMMUNITY MANY ASPECTS OF THE
STATE LAWS NEED TO BE UPDATED TO
ADJUST TO MODERN TIMES.
ESPECIALLY REGARDING MODERN
TECHNOLOGY. CALIFORNIA IS AND
HAS BEEN A NATIONWIDE LEADER AND
ENABLING LANDMARK LEGISLATION
FOCUSING ON THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE
WITH DISABILITIES. AB NINETEEN
NINETY WILL CONTINUE THIS
LEADERSHIP BY CREATING A WORK
GROUP TO ADDRESS THE UPDATED UP.
EXCUSE ME TO ADDRESS THE NEED
FOR UPDATING LAWS AND SERVICES
TO AIM TO SUPPORT ALL
CALIFORNIANS WITH DISABILITIES.
THIS LEGISLATION AIMS TO BRING
PEOPLE REPRESENTING THE MANY
FACES OF INDIVIDUALS WITH
VARIOUS DISABILITIES TO THE
TABLE FOR MUCH NEEDED
CONVERSATION WITH STAKEHOLDERS.

INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS
FIGHTING FOR JUSTICE EQUALITY
AND EQUALITY FOR ALL PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES. DISABLED PEOPLE
LIKE MYSELF ADVOCATE KNOWING
THAT WE CARRY ON THE INCREDIBLE
LEGACY OF DISABLED ADVOCATES AND
LEADERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY'S
HISTORY BUT SPECIFICALLY
CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY. MANY OF
THE LEADING DISABILITY ADVOCATES
ARE FROM CALIFORNIA ADVOCATES
FOUGHT AND WON BATTLES TO GET
SECTION FIVE OH FOUR OF THE
REHABILITATION ACT OF NINETEEN
SEVENTY THREE THE INDIVIDUALS

DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
SENSORY DISABILITIES CHRONIC

LEGAL SERVICES PROVIDERS ACROSS

COLLEAGUE MISTER HARRIS SAID HAS
A LONG AND PROUD HISTORY OF

RIGHTS LAWS THAT EITHER MEET OR

FOR EXAMPLE. WHEN THE ADA WAS
ENACTED IN NINETEEN NINETY
CALIFORNIA IN NINETEEN NINETY
TWO PASSED AB TEN SEVENTY SEVEN
WHICH STRENGTHENS CALIFORNIA LA
WHERE IT WAS WEAKER THAN THE
FEDERAL ADA. AND RETAINED
CALIFORNIA LAW WHERE IT WAS
STRONGER THAN THE AVIARY.
SOMETHING SIMILAR IN TWO
THOUSAND AFTER THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT WEAKEN THE ADA IN
A SERIES OF CASES. TWO TWENTY
TWO OR THE CURRENT K. POP THINK
ACT TO ENSURE THAT THOSE HARMFUL
FEDERAL COURT DECISION COULD NOT
GOVERN CALIFORNIA JURISPRUDENCE
. SIMILARLY AFTER CONGRESS
ENACTED SECTION FIVE OH EIGHT
AND NINETEEN NINETY EIGHT
CALIFORNIA PASSED SB ONE OH FIVE
IN TWO THOUSAND CHU TO CREATE A

STANDARD TO BETTER MEET THE
CHALLENGES THAT DISABLED PEOPLE

YOUR NEXT BILL AB TWO TWO S
FIVE. THANK YOU MISTER MEMBERS.
I FIRST WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR WE ARE GOING TO
MISS YOU AND- ROLE BUT ALSO
YOU'RE A COMMITTEE STAFF. FOR
THE CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HOW WE
CAN STRENGTHEN THIS BILL. FOR
THE RECORD I ACCEPT THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENT. AB TWENTY TWO SIXTY
FIVE WILL HELP CALIFORNIA
CONSUMERS SAFEGUARD OPIOID
MEDICATIONS. AND REDUCE THE ACT
OF PILL. A POWERFUL ON RAMP TO
THE NATION'S CURRENT OPIOID
ADDICTION CRISIS. THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE A PHARMACIST TO
PROVIDE SCHEDULED TO END TO END.
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND A
LOCKABLE CONTAINER.
PRESCRIPTIONS SUCH AS MORPHINE
OXYCODONE AND REDOLENT.
HILFERDING WHICH IS THE ACT OF
SNEAKING A SMALL NUMBER OF PILLS
HOPING THAT IT WILL GO
UNDETECTED IS THE LEADING SOURCE
OF USED OPIOID ABUSE. THE
OUTDATED CHILD RESISTANT
PRESCRIPTION VIALS CURRENTLY IN
USE HAVE NOT BEEN MODIFIED IN
OVER FIFTY YEARS. WHEN THE
FEDERAL POISON PREVENTION
PACKAGING ACT WAS ENACTED IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY THE GOAL THEN
WAS TO PREVENT CHILDREN UNDER
THE AGE OF FIVE FROM GAINING
ACCESS TO ASPIRIN. TODAY THOSE
SAME CHILD LOCKS ARE USED TO
PROTECT MEDICATIONS THAT RANGE
FROM COUGH MEDICINE TO
PRESCRIPTION PAIN MANAGEMENT
MEDICATIONS THAT ARE EIGHTY
TIMES STRONGER THAN MORPHINE.
REQUIRING LOCKING PRESCRIPTION
VIALS FOR POWERFUL NARCOTICS IS
A LOW COST WAY FOR CALIFORNIA TO
MODERNIZE THE ANTIQUATED FEDERAL
LAWS THAT ARE PARTIALLY
RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING THIS
NATIONWIDE EPIDEMIC. THERE ARE
TWO WITNESSES WHO WE HAVE ON THE
PHONE IN SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY

THANK YOU GOOD MORNING MISTER
CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS THIS
IS ONE OF THE GOING ON WITH THE
CALIFORNIA RETAILERS ASSOCIATION
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CHAIN
DRUG STORES AND WE ARE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED AB TWENTY
TWO SIXTY FIVE. AT WOULD YOU
SHARE THE AUTHORS GOAL TO THIS
ISSUE WITH THIS ISSUE TO ADDRESS
THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC- AND WE ARE
NOT AT ALL OPPOSED TO PATIENTS
BEING ABLE TO VOLUNTARILY USE
LOCKABLE PRESCRIPTION VIALS. ARE
CONCERNS INSTEAD CENTER ON THE
UNDUE BURDEN WE THINK THIS WILL
PLACE ON PHARMACIES. AND I'M
PATIENTS BEING ABLE TO ACCESS
THEIR MEDICATION. A PATIENT
MIGHT HAVE ANY NUMBER OF
CONDITIONS AND THEN TO A
PHARMACIST THAT MIGHT MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ACCESS
THEIR MEDICATION IN A WALKABLE
VILE- OR THEY MIGHT FORGET THEIR
PASSCODE MISPLACE IT BE UNABLE
TO RETRIEVE IT. AND NOT LEAVE
THEM WITHOUT ACCESS TO THEIR
MEDICATION. IN ADDITION TO THE
ACCESS ISSUES- THIS BILL WILL
PUT A SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL
BURDEN ON PHARMACIES BY
REQUIRING PHARMACIES DIFFERENTLY
THE COST OF THE LOCKABLE VIALS
AND SEEK REIMBURSEMENT FROM
MANUFACTURERS. I AM CURRENT COST
OF CURRENT CHILD SAFE M. VILES
ARE PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR
WHERE'S THE LOCKABLE VIALS CAN
COST MORE THAN THE MEDICATION
THEY CONTAIN. IN ADDITION TO
THAT- PHARMACIES DON'T INTERACT
DIRECTLY WITH MANUFACTURES WE
CURRENTLY- INTERACT WITH
WHOLESALERS FOR THE ACT
ACQUISITION OF DRUGS SO TO M.
EMPLOYMENT THIS WILL HAVE TO
CREATE AN ENTIRE NEW ACCOUNTING
PROCESS JUST TO RECEIVE. AM
REIMBURSEMENT AND THIS WILL
HINDER PHARMACY WORKFLOW AND
DISTRACT FROM PATIENT CARE. AND
LAST THING I WANT TO RAISE THE
LEGISLATURE ACTUALLY ENACTED A
BILL IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN AB
TWENTY EIGHT FIFTY NINE. WHICH
REQUIRES CHAIN PHARMACIES TO
PROMINENTLY DISPLAY SAFE STORAGE
PRODUCTS THAT THE PATIENTS IF
THEY WISH TO USE THESE. THEY ARE
ABLE TO DO SO- THIS WAS ONLY
BEEN EFFECT FOR THREE YEARS I
THINK IT IS PREMATURE TO
IMPLEMENT A MANDATE AND WITHOUT
FIRST EXAMINING THE FINANCING IF
IT'S BEEN EFFECTIVE. IN
ADDRESSING PRESCRIPTION DRUG
THEFT AND ABUSE. I DEFINITELY
APPRECIATE THE AUTHORS
AMENDMENTS AND I THINK WE CAN
GET TO A PLACE WHERE WE WOULD
REMOVE OPPOSITION. IF THE BILL
WAS MADE VOLUNTARY THE LOCKABLE
VIALS AND IF THE BURDENSOME
ADMINISTRATIVE AND FINANCIAL
REQUIREMENTS ON PHARMACIES ARE
REMOVED AND JUST WANT TO
REITERATE. OUR COMMITMENT TO
WORKING ON THIS ISSUE WHAT THE

HELLO GOOD MORNING I FELT LIKE
IT'S MORNING. THE MORNING OR.
OKAY HI HI. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR AND MEMBER I TO THANK OF
ALL THE COMMITTEE FOR ALL OF
THEIR WORK ON THIS BILL- I AM
SAID ACCEPTING THE SUGGESTED
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS TO CLARIFY
THE DEFINITIONS USED IN THE BILL
THESE MOMENTS APPEAR IN MOCK UP
FORM ON PAGES TEN AND ELEVEN OF
THE ANALYSIS I THINK ALL OF US
WOULD HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE IF
YOU BUY ANYTHING ONLINE OF
GETTING YOUR WHICH IT IN THE
MAIL AND THEN BEING ASTOUNDED BY
THE AMOUNT OF NON RECYCLABLE
PLASTIC THAT HAS COME UP WITH
THAT WHICH IT. WITH THIS BILL
TRIES TO DO IS TO SOLVE THIS
PROBLEM BY GOING AFTER WHAT'S
REALLY THE LOW HANGING FRUIT OF
NON RECYCLABLE PLASTIC MATERIAL
WHICH IS THIS ADDED PACKAGING
WHICH WE KNOW IS NOT NECESSARY-
THERE ARE. ALTERNATIVES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET TODAY
THAT WILL BE EITHER COMPOSTABLE
OR RECYCLABLE AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO REQUIRE WITHIN A
CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME R. E.
RETAILERS TO START USING WE HAVE
PUT REASONABLE EXEMPTIONS AND
LONGER TIME FRAMES IN THE BILL
FOR MATERIALS THAT ARE MORE
DIFFICULT TO PACKAGE AND I CAN
TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE AS
SOMEONE WHO HAD AN ART GLASS
COMPANY WHERE I WAS LITERALLY
SHIPPING FRAGILE GLASS AROUND
THE WORLD THAT THERE ARE
ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE THAT WORK
EVEN FOR FRAGILE ITEMS. BUT IT
TAKES A CALIFORNIA TO PUSH THE
MARKET TO SET TO THAT THAT
STANDARD SO THAT THE DEVELOPERS
OF THIS TYPE OF MATERIAL SCALE
IT UP GET IT OUT GET IT TO
STAPLES GET INTO TARGET SO THAT
EVEN THE SMALL GUY AT HOME CAN
BY IT AS THEY VERY MUCH WANT TO
AND LASTLY I'LL JUST SAY THAT
THE- BRUNT OF ALL OF THIS NON
RECYCLABLE PLASTIC IS BEING PAID
FOR BY RATE PAYERS BECAUSE
EVERYBODY IF YOU LIVE IN A
MUNICIPALITY YOUR TRASH FEES ARE
GOING UP BECAUSE THE LANDFILLS
ARE FILLING UP WITH THIS
MATERIAL IT'S GUMMING UP THE
RECYCLE MACHINES BECAUSE IT GETS
STUCK IN THOSE MACHINES. IT'S
REALLY A PROBLEM THAT WE'RE ALL
HAVING TO PAY FOR AND SO FAR
AFFECTS SOME RETAILERS HAVE BEEN
GOOD ACTORS BUT NOT ALL OF THEM
AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
EVERYBODY TAKES THIS SERIOUSLY-
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR MARINE
LIFE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT WE ARE I
DON'T I ALSO WANT TO SAY TO.
THIS BILL WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A
STATEMENT THIS IS MEANT TO BE
SOMETHING THAT IS WORKABLE. BY
ALL SHIPPERS WE'VE BEEN WORKING
VERY HARD WITH INDUSTRY WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE MISSUS
MOVE FOR THE PROCESS. TO ADDRESS
ALL OF THEIR CONCERNS WE HAVE
BEEN LIMITING THE SCOPE OF THIS
BILL. TRYING TO FOCUS THE SCOPE
OF THIS BILL BY TALKING WITH

MORNING CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE AT
REGULAR ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
ONE OF THE BEGIN AND WE HAVE A
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
SKEWS ME WE WANT TO BEGIN BY
THANKING THE COMMITTEE COMMITTEE
STAFF THE AUTHOR NGO COMMUNITY-
AND ALL STAKEHOLDERS WHO WORKED
ON THE AMENDMENTS TO CLARIFY THE
SCOPE WE APPRECIATE
UNDERSTANDING WHAT THIS BILL IS
BANNING AND WHAT IS NOT BANNING
IT DOESN'T REMOVE OUR OPPOSE
UNLESS AMENDED POSITION AT THIS
TIME BUT- WHAT WHAT WE DO HAVE
REMAINING CONCERNS ABOUT- IS
REALLY AROUND THE PACKAGING
THAT. IS BANNED THAT WE DO WE
DISAGREE IS NOT CRITICAL TO
SHIPPING- THEY REALLY HUNDRED OF
CALIFORNIA WHETHER IT'S
TELEVISIONS LCD MONITORS-
PRINTERS APPLIANCES X. THAT ARE
USING EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE- WE
DO. I DISAGREE THAT SHIPPING
GLASS VERSUS SHIPPING. HI THE
BREAKABLE OF TRONICS IN WHICH
THE B. S. THE SHOCK- IMPACTS
FROM SHIPPING FROM EAST ASIA
INTO THE UNITED STATES- HAS VERY
FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT
PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS AND SO
THERE IS NO- EPS BAND ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD ON THESE DURABLE
GOODS REPRESENTS ZERO POINT 5%
OF OUR WASTE STREAM WE WHOLLY
AGREE WITH IMPROVING THAT THE
RECYCLING CALIFORNIA- THE SOURCE
REDUCTION OF SUPERFLUOUS
PACKAGING. THAT MANUFACTURES
NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND
ACTUALLY PAY FOR THE
INFRASTRUCTURE- TO RECYCLE THIS
AND IF WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THIS IN A VACUUM AB ONE THING WE
ARE CURRENTLY NEGOTIATING A
CIRCULAR FIRST IN THE NATION-
BROADER THAT- RECYCLING BILL
THAT COVERS ALL THE SAME
PACKAGING THAT IS CURRENTLY
BANNED UNDER THIS BILL. AND SO
WE THINK IT'S PREMATURE AND
INCONGRUENT WITH THOSE
DISCUSSIONS AND IN FACT. WE
THINK IT'S- COULD LEAD TO
PERVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES
IF YOU HAVE TO SHIP- LITERALLY
MILLIONS OF TV'S OR OTHER BREAK
BILLS BACK TO THEIR- ORIGIN
WHETHER IT'S GREENHOUSE GAS
SHIPPING IT BACK OR LANDFILLING
MUCH MORE. UP LARGER BREAKABLE
AND WORSE- IN MARBLE OUTCOMES
THROUGH LANDFILLING THESE
PRODUCTS THAT BREAK AND SO WE
LOOK FOR TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR
TO TRY TO FIND A- COMPROMISE
THAT. I THINK FALLS INTO THE
BROADER CIRCULAR ECONOMY
DISCUSSIONS WHICH CALCHAMBER ITS
MEMBERS ARE WHOLLY ENGAGED AT
THIS TIME AND SO WITH THANK YOU
FOR YOUR OPPORTUNITY COMMENTS
THANKS. THANK YOU. THAT'S WITH
WITH A MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE TIM CHESTED WITH
AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL- I'VE
GOT TO WANT TO. ACKNOWLEDGE AND
APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS- TO HELP CLARIFY THE
AT THE SCOPE OF THE BILL. AND
ALSO WOULD LIKE TO OUR- THANK
THE AUTHOR AND HER STAFF FOR
CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT ON THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE I WANT TO
REITERATE TOO MUCH WITH. THAT MR
WRIGLEY SAID BUT WELL WE
CERTAINLY AGREE THAT- MORE NEEDS
TO BE DONE TO REDUCE THEAMOUNT
OF PLASTIC WASTE IN THE
ENVIRONMENT NO QUESTION ABOUT
IT. THAT'S WHY WE ARE INVOLVED
WITH CENTER ALLEN IN THE
STAKEHOLDER GROUP THAT HE'S
PULLING TOGETHER TO CREATE THAT
FRAMEWORK TO CREATE A POLICY
WHERE YOU HAVE. A 75% RECYCLING
REQUIREMENT BY TWENTY THIRTY
TWO. SOURCE REDUCTION
REQUIREMENTS ON PRODUCERS
PRODUCER PAY FEES TO HELP
INCREASE- THE COLLECTION AND THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE STATE SO
WE CAN PROCESS IT. THIS MATERIAL
. AS WELL AS REQUIRING PACKAGING
TO CONTAIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
RECYCLED MATERIAL SO WE CAN
CLOSE THAT LOOP- AND MAKE SURE
THAT NO MUCH MORE MATERIAL. IN
UP IN A LANDFILL OR OR IN THE
OCEAN SO WE DO ALSO HAVE AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
LOOK FOR WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR
IS A BILL MOST OF THE PROCESS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU
ANYONE ELSE IN THE HEARING ROOM
WHO'D LIKE TO INDICATE
OPPOSITION. TO AB TWENTY TWENTY

EIGHT A. B. TWENTY THREE EIGHTY
THREE. THAT. GOOD GOOD MORNING
CHAIR MEMBERS THAT TODAY AMBER
I'M PRESENTING AB TWENTY THREE
EIGHTY THREE THE BAND A BOX
HOUSING ACT CALIFORNIANS WITH A
CRIMINAL RECORD- HISTRIA
INSTANTLY MARKED WITH A SCARLET
LETTER THAT BLOCKED HIM FROM
GETTING THEIR LIVES BACK ON
TRACK AND REUNITING THEM WITH
THEIR LOVED ONES THIS BILL WILL
BAN THE BOX PREVENTING RENTERS
FROM INCLUDING QUESTIONS
REGARDING THE APPLICANT'S
CRIMINAL HISTORY ON THE INITIAL
BY REPEAT THE INITIAL ROUND UP
APPLICATIONS WHILE SEEKING
HOUSING. AT THE STANCE TODAY WE
PUNISH THOSE WHO HAVE
EXPERIENCED INCARCERATION FOR
BEING HONEST ABOUT THE PAST WHEN
TRYING TO SECURE HOUSING AT A
TIME WHEN OVER A HUNDRED SIXTY
ONE THOUSAND CALIFORNIANS ARE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS
SPECIFIC TO FORMERLY
INCARCERATED CALIFORNIANS OF
COLOR 61% REPORT DIFFICULTY
FINDING HOUSING MORE THAN DOUBLE
THE RATE OF OTHERS MOST HOUSING
APPLICATIONS HAVE FEES AND
OFTEN- FORMERLY INCARCERATED
PEOPLE ARE ARE PAYING TWENTY
FIVE DOLLARS FIFTY DOLLARS EVEN
A HUNDRED DOLLARS PER
APPLICATION ONLY TO HAVE THEIR
APPLICATION THROWN IN THE TRASH.
BECAUSE OF THEIR CRIMINAL
RECORD. IT WORSE FORMALLY
INCARCERATED CALIFORNIANS FACE
CRIME FREE HOUSING POLICIES THAT
EMPOWER RENTERS TO EXCLUDE THE
JUSTICE SYSTEM INVOLVED
POPULATION FROM NEIGHBORHOODS
WITH ACCESS TO BETTER SCHOOLS
AND OPPORTUNITIES. ACCORDING TO
THE LOS ANGELES TIMES ARTICLE
SOME LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
PROSECUTORS OFFER TRAINING TO
RENTERS ON HOW TO DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST A FORMERLY INCARCERATED
WITHOUT SUFFERING LEGAL
CONSEQUENCES. I'M AUTHORED AB
TWENTY THREE EIGHTY THREE TO
GIVE THE FORMERLY INCARCERATED A
PATH TO LIFE SUSTAINING HOUSING.
THANKS TO THE WORK OF CAN OF
THIS COMMITTEE THIS BILL BUILT
ON THE ALREADY EXISTING
REGULATIONS ADOPTED LAST YEAR BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF FAIR
EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING. THE BILL
PROVIDES NECESSARY CLARITY FOR
RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS OF THEIR
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE
REGULATIONS THIS BILL WOULD NOT
PREVENT OWNERS FROM REQUESTING A
BACKGROUND CHECK. BUT REQUIRED
THAT IT ONLY PRESENT IN DETAIL
BUT BY MEANS OF A BACKGROUND
CHECK. THAT DEEMS SUFFICIENT FOR
DENIAL WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF
RECEIPT. ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL
GRANTS APPLICANTS THREE DAYS TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
INCLUDING EVIDENCE OF
REHABILITATION. REFERENCES AND
OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION MY
BILL WILL HELP ENSURE THAT
SOMEONE'S PAST IS NOT UNDULY
IMPEDE HIS OR HER FUTURE. AS
ALWAYS I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH STAKEHOLDERS ON THIS ISSUE
IF CALIFORNIA IS GOING TO BE A
STATE OF SECOND CHANCES BUT A
FORMERLY INCARCERATED. WE HAVE
TO BE WILLING TO GIVE THEM A
FAIR CHECK ANY ALREADY UPHILL
BATTLE OF SECURING HOUSING
CALIFORNIA. S. BY NOON YES
EMMANUEL GOMEZ OF THE ANTI
RECIDIVISM COALITION ARE JOINING
ME TODAY TO PROVIDE TESTAMENT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. THANK YOU AND I HAVE S.
ABOUT NEW IDEAS HERE WITH US
TODAY GO AHEAD PLEASE. A GOOD
MORNING TERRY MEMBERS OF THE- MY
NAME IS AS BY NEW AS A NUMBER
THE ENTIRE. COALITION I HAVE
WORKED IN ADVOCACY AND DIRECT
SERVICES FOR FALLING CARS RIGHT
PEOPLE SINCE I WAS RELEASED FROM
INCARCERATION MYSELF IN APRIL
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN. HOUSING IS
A FOUNDATIONAL NEED FOR
EVERYONE. AND CONSIDERING
FALLING BECAUSE VERY PEOPLE ARE
TEN TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE
HOMELESS WE ARE NO DIFFERENT. A.
R. C. IS ACUTELY AWARE OF WHAT
PEOPLE RETURNING HOME NEED TO
SUCCESSFULLY REINTEGRATE BACK
INTO SOCIETY. AND CONTINUE TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR COMMUNITIES
AND MEANINGFUL AND POSITIVE WAY
. STILL IT BECOMES NEARLY
IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO WITHOUT
ACCESS TO STABILIZE HOUSING.
SOMEONE CAN'T BEGIN TO THINK
ABOUT EDUCATION WORK AND FAMILY
REUNIFICATION IF THEY DON'T KNOW
WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO REST HER
HEAD AT NIGHT. AARC MEMBERS WHO
TAKE PART IN OUR TRANSITIONAL
HOUSING PROGRAM. ARE PROVIDED
THE TOOLS NECESSARY TO FIND
THEIR FOOTING. DEFINED QUALITY
EMPLOYMENT AND PATHWAYS TO
CAREERS. SOME ARE IN SCHOOL
THEY'RE ABLE TO RECONNECT WITH
THEIR FAMILIES YET WHEN THE TIME
COMES FOR THEM TO FIND THEIR OWN
HOUSING. THEY ARE UNABLE TO DO
SO WHAT THEN DO THEY TURN TO THE
STREETS THEY RETURNED TO A
COMMUNITY THAT'S UNSAFE AND
UNHEALTHY. ALL OF THEIR UPWARD
REMIT MOBILITY IS STIFLED. AND
THEY ARE AT RISK OF REVERTING
BACK TO SURVIVAL MODE. THIS BILL
GIVES PEOPLE A CHANCE FIRST TO
BE SEEN FOR WHO THEY ARE. TODAY
AND NOT FOR WHO THEY WERE WHEN
THEY COMMITTED THEIR OFFENSE AND
IT ALLOWS THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO
GROW AND FIND STABILITY. THIS
BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY IS THE
RESULT OF YEARS OF NEGOTIATIONS
AND CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS. THIS BILL ALLOWS
LANDLORDS TO KEEP THEIR ECONOMY
THEY STILL GET TO SEE APPLICANTS
FINANCIAL INFORMATION CREDIT
HISTORY AND LETTERS OF
RECOMMENDATION EVERYTHING ONE
WOULD NEED TO MAKE THE
DETERMINATION OF SOMEONE IS A
GOOD AND RELIABLE TENANTS. IF
AFTER CONSIDERING THOSE FACTORS
THEY STILL WANT TO RUN A
BACKGROUND CHECK THEY MAY DO SO.
BUT THEY MUST ADHERE TO
REGULATIONS ENACTED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT
AND HOUSING. BY DISALLOWING
LANDLORDS TO ASK ABOUT SOMEONE'S
CREEK CRIMINAL HISTORY ON THEIR
APPLICATION THIS BILL ENSURES
THAT APPLICANTS WHO ARE UNLIKELY
TO KNOW ABOUT THE REGULATIONS
ARE COMPELLED TO GIVE LANDLORDS
INFORMATION. THEY OTHERWISE
WOULDN'THAVE INSIGHT INTO THAT
ALLOWS THEM THE DIGNITY AND
ABILITY TO APPLY FAIRLY WITHOUT
PRECONCEIVED JUDGMENT OR SHAME.
WE ARE MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITIES AND IF WE BELIEVE IN
SECOND CHANCES AND BELIEVE IN
FORGIVENESS THAT WE MUST CREATE
POLICIES THAT REFLECT SUCH.
FORMALLY INCARCERATED PEOPLE
DESERVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND THE
OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE HEALTHY AND
STABLE LIVES AS RESIDENTS OF
CALIFORNIA AND MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITIES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AND I THOUGHT. THANK YOU.

CURRENT MEMBERS A JURY DESMOND
ON BEHALF OF THE PROFESSIONAL
FIDUCIARY ASSOCIATION THE
CALIFORNIA. FOLLOWING A REVIEW
OF THE MARCH THIRTY AMENDMENT WE
SUBMITTED A LETTER TO THE AUTHOR
COMMITTE YESTERDAY WITH OUR
CONCERNS WITH ONE SPECIFIC
SECTION OF AB TWO SIX ONE SIX.
THE PROPOSED NEW SUBDIVISION T.
OF PROBATE CODE SECTION TWO FOUR
OH ONE ON PAGE TWENTY ONE LINES
TWENTY SEVEN THROUGH THIRTY FIVE
OF THE MEASURE. OUR CONCERN IS
THAT HAS NOW WRITTEN THIS
PROVISION PLACES
RESPONSIBILITIES ON A
CONSTRUCTOR OR GUARDIANS WITH
TERMINOLOGY THAT IS BIG OVERLY
BROAD. UNDEFINED AND SUBJECTIVE
. FIRST IS THE RQUIREMENT THAT
A CONSERVATOR OR GUARDIAN SHALL
AVOID EVEN THE APPEARANCE OF ANY
CONFLICT OF INTEREST. AS WORDED
THIS WOULD ENABLE ANY INDIVIDUAL
TO ALLEGE THAT AN ACT SOUND
VISION OR SOME OTHER SENSORY
PERCEPTION HAS CREATED AN
APPEARANCE OF A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
THERE IS IN FACT A CONFLICT OF
INTEREST. SECOND IS THE
REQUIREMENT THAT A CONSERVATOR
OR GUARDIAN SHALL AVOID ANY
INTERACTION WITH AN ENTITY THAT
BENEFITS THE GUARDIAN OR
CONSERVATOR AND THAT IS NOT
DIRECTLY IN THE BEST INTEREST OF
THE WORKS. WITHOUT FURTHER
CLARIFICATION THIS PROHIBITION
COULD BE INTERPRETED TO APPLY TO
A WIDE VARIETY OF ACTIONS
BETWEEN THE CONSERVATOR GUARDIAN
WITH AN ENTITY REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER OR NOT THE GUARDIAN OR
CONSERVATOR KNOWINGLY
PARTICIPATED IN INTERACTION.
WHICH IS LATER DETERMINED TO BE
IN CONFLICT WITH THE WAR
DIFFERENT SERVICE BEST INTEREST.
YOU KNOW THERE'S NO WAY TO KNOW
WHEN EACH CITY. IN THE- THAT
PERHAPS EVEN AT THAT OCCUR.
EVERY IN. WITH INTENDED ISN'T
BEST OF THE CONSERVATIVE OR WORK
ADDITIONALLY THAT THE
PROFESSIONAL PRODUCERS ARE
ACTING ON BEHALF OF NUMEROUS
WORK TO CONSERVATIVE. THERE IS
THE POTENTIAL THAT A PRODUCER
YOU HAVE AN INTERACTION WITH AN
ENTITY THAT IS IN THE BASKET
INTEREST BEST INTEREST OF ONE

MORNING THANK YOU GOOD MORNING-
CHAIR MEMBERS. I WANT TO START
BY THANKING COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
THEIR WORK ON THIS ANALYSIS. AB
TWENTY TWO OH THREE WILL EXPAND
ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING
OPTIONS BY PROHIBITING HOUSING
PROVIDERS FROM REQUIRING CREDIT
CHECKS FOR APPLICANTS WITH
PUBLICLY FUNDED HOUSING
SUBSIDIES. THE BILL WILL ALSO
ELIMINATE THE APPLICANT FEES
SUBSIDY HOLDERS. ARE FOR SUBSIDY
HOLDERS WHICH IS TYPICALLY USED
FOR CREDIT CHECKS CALIFORNIA HAS
MADE GREAT EFFORTS TO REDUCING
RENTAL ASSISTANCE BARRIERS TO
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. IN TWENTY
NINETEEN SB THREE TWENTY NINE
AUTHORED BY FORMER SENATOR
MITCHELL PROHIBITED HOUSING
PROVIDERS FROM REFUSING TO RENT
TO SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY USE A
HOUSING SUBSIDY TO AFFORD THEIR
RENT. UNFORTUNATELY RENTAL
APPLICANTS WITH HOUSING
SUBSIDIES ARE BEING REJECTED
BASED ON POOR CREDIT HISTORY
EVEN THOUGH THE GOVERNMENT
DIRECTLY PAYS FOR ALL OR MOST OF
THE RENT. THE STATE DOES NOT
PROHIBIT A HOUSING PROVIDER FROM
CONDUCTING A CREDIT CHECK OR AN
APPLICANT USING A HOUSING
SUBSIDY NOR DOES THE STATE
PROHIBIT REJECTING AN APPLICANT
BASED ON THE RESULTS OF THEIR
CREDIT CHECK. A RECENT SACBEE
ARTICLE CHRONICLED THAMEL BROWN
WHO WAS UNDER HOUSE FOR TEN
YEARS BEFORE RECEIVING A HOUSING
CHOICE VOUCHER. OVER THE COURSE
OF FIVE MONTHS BROWN APPLIED TO
OVER THIRTY APARTMENTS. THAT
REQUIRED A FORTY DOLLAR
APPLICANT FEET EACH TIME. SHE
STILL HOMELESS HOUSING PROVIDERS
CONTINUE TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
PEOPLE WITH HOUSING SUBSIDIES BY
REJECTING THEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE
SHAKY CREDIT. TYPICALLY
INDIVIDUALS WHO QUALIFY FOR
HOUSING SUBSIDIES ARE LOW INCOME
OR HAVE LOW OR NO CREDIT.
THEREFORE ASSESSING A RENTAL
APPLICANTS ELIGIBILITY THROUGH
CREDIT CHECKS CAN EASILY RESULT
IN AN APPLICATION DENIAL AS
PEOPLE WITH HOUSING SUBSIDIES
OFTEN HAVE LOW CREDIT SCORES FOR
CREDIT OR NO CREDIT HISTORY.
MOREOVER HOUSING PROVIDERS
TYPICALLY REQUIRE APPLICANTS TO
PAY A FEE TO COVER THE COST OF A
CREDIT CHECK. THE FEE WHICH CAN
BE AS HIGH AS FIFTY DOLLARS CAN
PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER
FOR APPLICANTS USING HOUSING
SUBSIDIES. TODAY I HAVE FOUND IN
MEMBERS OF STRONGER WOMEN UNITED

SUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
DURING THIS TIME I WORKED. AND I
WAS DIE WITH CANCER. I SURVIVED
CANCER TREATMENTS WHILE LIVING
IN A CROWDED SHELTER. MY CREDIT
SCORE DROP TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FIVE POINTS WHILE I WAS.
MOSTLY BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF
INCOME. AFTER TWO AND A HALF
YEARS I RECEIVED A SECTION EIGHT
VOUCHER. I THOUGHT HOUSING WAS
WITHIN MY REACH HOWEVER I
COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG.
HOUSING POVIDERS REJECTED MY
OBLIGATIONS EIGHTEEN TIMES IN A
ROW. EVEN THOUGH I HAD A VOUCHER
INHERENT. MOST OF THE TIME
HOUSING PROVIDERS REJECTED MY
APPLICATION BECAUSE OF MY LOW
CREDIT SCORE. SH EACH TIME I
APPLIED FOR AN APARTMENT MY
HOLDS SOARED ONLY TO BE DEFLATED
AGAIN. I KNEW THAT I HAD TO USE
MY VOUCHER WITHIN A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY DAYS OR LOSE THAT. I
WOULD BE OBVIOUS NOT MY CREDIT
HISTORY WAS PREVENTING ME FROM
USING MY VOUCHER I BECAME
INCREASINGLY DISCOURAGED CARNAGE
ANGELS DEPRESSED AND SCARED I
FEARED THAT MY VOUCHER WAS JUST
ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE AND THAT
I WOULD REMAIN HOSTILE. WHILE
SEARCHING FOR AN APARTMENT AND
SPENDS AROUND FIVE HUNDRED AND-
SIX HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS ON
APPLICATIONS. I HAD TO CUT DOWN
ON THE FOOD AND JOBS IN ORDER TO
PAY THOSE FEES BUT I WAS THE
LUCKY ONE NOT EVERYONE CAN
AFFORD THOSE THOSE THINGS. AB

PLEASE COME FORWARD.
THE MORNING WHEN A SEARCH TERM
MEMBERS NEVER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION I WILL
TELL YOU THAT WE ABSOLUTELY
UNDERSTAND AND HEAR THE CONCERNS
THAT ARE PRESENTED BY THE A
SUPPORT HERE UNFORTUNATELY WE
DON'T THINK THIS BILL WILL MAKE
HOUSING ACCESS EVEN EASIER IT'S
GOING TO MAKE IT HARDER. IN FACT
WE THINK THE APPLICATION PROCESS
NOW WILL PRESENT A BARRIER FOR
INDIVIDUALS. WITH A VOUCHER. IT
PUTS THEM IN THE SAME CATEGORY
AS SOMEBODY NOW WITH BAD CREDIT
BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT HAVE
ACCESS OR LEASE THE LAND THERE
WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THAT
CREDIT REPORT. OWNERS WON'T READ
HOUSING BLINDLY THEY WILL ASK
FOR EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND
INFORMATION WHAT A CREDIT REPORT
DOES THIS AGGREGATE THAT
INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PAST BUT
WHAT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT. IS
WHO YOU ARE TODAY AND GOING
FORWARD DO YOU HAVE A JOB DO YOU
HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY DO YOU
HAVE A GUARANTOR. DO YOU HAVE
SOMEONE WHO WILL VOUCH FOR YOU-
THE OTHER FEES ARE ALSO PAID OR
NOT JUST ABOUT THE CREDIT CHECK
BUT- CHALLENGING A FOREIGN OWNER
TODAY AND PROBABLY EVEN. AN
APPLICANT IS YOU HAVE TO PAY A
FEE IF YOU WORK FOR A LARGE
COMPANY TO EVEN ACCESS THE
INFORMATION ABOUT WHETHER THAT
APPLICANT WORKS FOR YOU- THAT IS
A FEW THAT'S OFTEN COMPLETELY
SEPARATE AND GIVEN. THE LANGUAGE
HERE WE DON'T THINK WE WILL BE
ABLE TO COLLECT A FEE FOR THAT.
TODAY IF YOU HAVE POOR CREDIT OR
NO CREDIT- BE HONEST WITH THE
OWNER JUST BE STRAIGHT UP WITH
THE OWNER I KNOW THAT DOESN'T
GUARANTEE ANYTHING BUT HAVE A
CONVERSATION. SOMEWHAT LIKE WHAT
WE SAW IT EARLIER WITH- ASSEMBLY
MEMBER JONES SAWYER HAVE THE
CONVERSATION- DON'T KEEP GIVING
MONEY FOR A CREDIT REPORT. ASK
THE LANDLORD WHAT IS IT THAT YOU
ARE LOOKING FOR. ASK A LANDLORD
HOW MANY APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN
SUBMITTED OFTEN THERE ARE SO
MANY APPLICATIONS ALREADY
SUBMITTED IT IS A WASTE OF AN
INDIVIDUAL EVEN SOMEBODY NOT
WITH- AND ACTUAL VOUCHER TO PAY
A FEE- LANDLORDS CAN NOT A
COLLECTIVE FEET OR RUN A REPORT
IF THEY'VE ALREADY OFFERED THE
UNIT TO SOMEBODY ELSE WE HAVE
LAW ON THAT ALREADY. TODAY THERE
ALSO SERVICES THAT AN APPLICANT
CAN USE TO HOUSE THEIR CREDIT
REPORT SO PUT IT THERE ASK THE
LANDLORD IF THE LANDLORD WOULD
ACCESS THAT. THE TENANT OR
APPLICANT PAYS ONCE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WARDS WORKING ON A
PROCESS LIKE THAT. I'M AND ONE
FINAL POINT- I THINK WHAT WE
HEARD IN THE HOUSING COMMITTEE
IS THAT- APPLICANTS HAVE GONE
THROUGH STRINGENT PROCESS.
THROUGH THE HOUSING AUTHORITY TO
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE VETTED
THAT'S TRUE BUT THEY ARE VETTED
NOT FOR THEIR- ABILITY TO PAY
BUT BECAUSE OF THEIR INABILITY
TO A PAY. SO REALLY WHAT IT IS
FOR THIS APPLICANT IS WHAT IS
YOUR OBLIGATION GOING FORWARD
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT
CONVERSATION- AND I THINK THOSE
ARE THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO
TALK ABOUT I'M WITH THE AUTHOR
WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEAN THE
BARRIERS YOU ARE PRESENTING.
BOTTOM LINE WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
HOUSING CALIFORNIA THAT'S OUR
BIGGER PROBLEM THANK YOU THANK
YOU THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN
THE HEARING ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO ZERO
THREE. ALL RIGHT SAYING NONE
OPERATOR WOULD YOU OPEN THE

AND YOUR WONDERFUL STAFF AND MY
FELLOW COLLEAGUES ON THE DIETS I
WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
THEIR WORK IN CONSIDERATION OF
THIS BILL AND I ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS MICHAEL YOU
WHAT WE HAVE WITNESSES. COMING
ON THE PHONE ON THE PHONE FULL
OF WITNESSES ON THE PHONE OKAY.
SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF
MISINFORMATION ABOUT THIS BILL
THAT'S BEEN SPREAD BY THE
OPPOSITION THEREFORE I WANT TO
BE VERY VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT
THIS BILL DOES DO. THIS BILL IS
SPECIFIC TO PREGNANCY AND
PREGNANCY OUTCOMES SPECIFICALLY
THIS BILL WILL ENSURE THAT NO
ONE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
WILL BE PROSECUTED FOR ENDING A
PREGNANCY ARE EXPERIENCING
PREGNANCY LOSS. AND THE PAST TWO
DECADES AT LEAST THIRTEEN
UNDRED PREGNANT PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED FOR
HAVING MISCARRIAGES ARE STILL
STILLBIRTHS OR SELF MANAGING AN
ABORTION. CALIFORNIA IS NOT
EXEMPT FROM THIS DESPITE CLEAR
LAW THE ENDING OR LOSING A
PREGNANCY IS NOT A CRIME
PROSECUTORS IN THIS STATE HAVE
CHARGED PEOPLE WITH. HOMICIDE
OFFENSES FOR PREGNANCY LOSS TWO
EXAMPLES ARE THE CASES OF THE
CHELSEA BECKER AND A DOOR PRESS
TWO CALIFORNIA WOMEN WHO WERE
RECENTLY PROSECUTED AND
IMPRISONED FOR THEIR
STILLBIRTHS. THESE CHARGES WERE
ONLY RECENTLY DISMISSED
INNERVATED VACATED AND ONLY
AFTER THESE WOMEN WERE BEHIND
BARS FOR MONTHS. IN THE CASE OF
CHELSEA BECKER AND YEARS IN THE
CASE OF A DOOR PRESS WHO IS
STILL CURRENTLY IN JAIL PENDING
CHARGES. AB TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE IS INTENDED TO PROTECT
AGAINST THE CRIMINALIZATION OF
PREGNANCY OUTCOMES. AND PEOPLE
SHOULD NOT BE AND PEOPLE SHOULD
NOT BE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION
FOR ANY A TRAGIC SITUATION THAT
MAY HAPPEN DURING THE PREGNANCY.
THIS IS THE INTENT OF THIS BILL
HOWEVER THE OPPOSITION HAS
CREATED A NARRATIVE THAT THIS
BILL LEGALIZES INFANTICIDE OR
QUOTE UNQUOTE THE KILLING OF
BABIES. THAT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE.
THIS BILL DOES NOT LEGALIZE
INFANTICIDE. SPECIFICALLY AS IT
RELATES TO PERINATAL DEATHS THIS
BILL PART PROTECTS PARENTS WHO
ARE EXPERIENCING EXTREMELY
TRAGIC PREGNANCY OUTCOMES. AS
PARENTS EXPERIENCE TRAGIC
SITUATIONS THEY SHOULD NOT BE.
SORRY THEY SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
AS THEY MOURN THEIR LOSS AND NOT
CRIMINALIZED. NO PERSON SHOULD
HAVE TO UNDER PROSECUTION AS
THEY GRIEVE THE TRAGIC LOSS THAT
HAPPENS DURING THE PREGNANCY AND
THIS BILL PROVIDES THOSE
PROTECTIONS. REPRODUCTIVE
JUSTICE IN CALIFORNIA INCLUDES
CLARIFYING THAT NOBODY WILL BE
PROSECUTED FOR ANY PREGNANCY
LOSS OR PREGNANCY OUTCOME.
THEREFORE AB TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE WILL REMOVE OUTDATED
PROVISIONS REQUIRING CORNERS TO
INVESTIGATE CERTAIN PREGNANCY
LOSSES. CLARIFY THAT THE
REPRODUCTIVE PRIVACY ACT
PROHIBITS CRIMINALIZATION OF
PREGNANCY LOSS AND PREGNANCY
OUTCOMES. AND CREATE A PRIVATE
RIGHT OF ACTION FOR PEOPLE WHOSE
RIGHTS HAVE BEEN VIOLATED. I
WANT TO THANK OUR SPONSORS THE

OF PRO LIFE VOTERS ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AS THE BILL
ANALYSIS POINTS OUT THERE IS SO
MUCH WRONG WITH AB TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE FIRST CALIFORNIA
PENAL CODE SECTION ONE EIGHTY
SEVEN ALREADY PROHIBITS
PROSECUTION OF ABORTION EVEN A
BOTCHED LATE TERM ABORTION WOULD
NOT BE ACTIONABLE SECOND THIS
BILL PREVENTS INVESTIGATION AND
PROSECUTION OF ANYONE NOT JUST
THE PREGNANT PERSON WHO
INTENTIONALLY MURDERS AN INFANT
EVEN WEEKS AFTER BIRTH HERE'S
HOW. THE BILL BLOCKS THE USE OF
THE CORONER'S INVESTIGATION AND
FINDINGS INTO A BABY'S DEATH IN
ANY CRIMINAL OR CIVIL ACTION AND
AGAINST ANY PERSON NOT JUST THE
MOTHER BUT ANYONE WHO WAS
INVOLVED IN ANY WAY WITH THE
FETUSES DEATH THEN THE BILL GOES
FARTHER IT RESTRICTS THE USE OF
THE CORONER'S FINDINGS RELATED
TO A BABY'S DEATH NOT ONLY FOR
MISCARRIAGE STILLBIRTH OR
ABORTION BUT ALSO FOR QUOTE PERI
NATAL DEATH DUE TO A PREGNANCY
RELATED BECAUSE- EXISTING
CALIFORNIA LAW. DEFINES
PERINATAL AS UP TO ONE MONTH
FOLLOWING DELIVERY THE BILL
ANALYSIS ADMITS THIS ON PAGE
TEN. THE AUTHORS RECENT
AMENDMENTS DO NOT CURE THE
PROBLEM AS IT STILL REMAINS
VAGUE AND OVER BROAD AND ILL
DEFINED AND WITH NO MEANINGFUL
LIMITS. FINALLY THESE PROVISIONS
DIRECTLY CONFLICT WITH THE
EXISTING CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE SECTION. ONE TWO
THREE FOUR THREE FIVE WHICH
PROTECTS THE RIGHTS OF AN INFANT
PREMATURELY BORN ALIVE IN THE
COURSE OF AN ABORTION. AN INFANT
BORN ALIVE HOLDS THE SAME RIGHTS
AS AN INFANT BORN SPONTANEOUSLY
AB TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE WILL
MAKE THIS SECTION KNOWLAND VOID
BY PROHIBITING THE INVESTIGATION
OF THAT INFANT'S DEATH. THE BILL
ANALYSIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS
CONFLICT OF LAW THAT'S VERY
TROUBLING FINALLY IT IS
PARTICULARLY TROUBLING THAT THIS
BILL TRAMPLES ON FEDERAL
IMMUNITY AND CONFLICTS WITH PRE
EXISTING CALIFORNIA
PROSECUTORIAL IMMUNITY AS WELL.
FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS WE
OPPOSE AB TWENTY TWO TWENTY
THREE THANK YOU THANK YOU. NEXT
PLEASE. GO AHEAD PLEASE MY NAME
IS KATIE KLEIN AND I'M AN
ATTORNEY FOR AMERICANS UNITED
FOR LIFE THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY AGAINST
THIS BILL. EVEN WITH THE
ANALYSIS WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE BILL COVERS THE BILL
SAYS THE STATE SHALL NOT DENY OR
INTERFERE WITH THE FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHT TO ATTAIN OBTAINING
ABORTION BUT WHAT DOES
INTERFERENCE MEAN. NOTORIOUS
PHILADELPHIA ABORTION DOCTOR
KERMIT GOSNELL SPENT DECADES
PERFORMING UNSAFE UNSANITARY AND
DEADLY ABORTIONS BEFORE FINALLY
BEING CHARGED AND CONVICTED WITH
FIRST DEGREE MURDER STAFF OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH TESTIFIED THAT THEY
BELIEVED ANY INSPECTION OR
REGULATION OF HIS CLINIC WOULD
INTERFERE WITH ACCESS EVEN AS
THEY KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. I
BET HE WISHES HE LIVED IN
CALIFORNIA EARLIER THIS YEAR A
BILL IN MARYLAND ALSO USING THE
WORD PERI NATAL WAS PULLED AFTER
THE SPONSOR WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER
BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT ITS INTENT
WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT NO
DEFINITION OF PERI NATAL STOPS
AT BIRTH. IT'S STATE SANCTIONED
INFANTICIDE IS NOT THE GOAL THEN
THIS BILL NEEDS AMENDING
NUMEROUS CALIFORNIA LAWS COULD
BE IMPACTED BY THIS BILL
INCLUDING PARENTAL RIGHTS A
STATE CRIMINAL LAW AND BORN
ALIVE PROTECTIONS BUT THERE IS
NO DISCUSSION IN THE RUSH TO GET
A GOLD STAR FROM THE ABORTION
INDUSTRY. LAW ENFORCEMENT WILL
BE BARRED OR DISCOURAGED FROM
INVESTIGATING NEWBORN DEATHS
UNDER THE BILL. HEARING THIS
TESTIMONY I READ NUMEROUS
STORIES ABOUT BABIES THROWN IN
DUMPSTERS BUT RATHER THAN
EXPANDING CALIFORNIA SAFE HAVEN
LOT THIS ASSEMBLY WOULD PREVENT
LAW ENFORCEMENT FROM
INVESTIGATING HORRIFIC CRIMES.
THE ANALYSIS SAYS THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT CAN INVESTIGATE. BUT
ONLY UNTIL THEY FIND EVIDENCE OF
A MOTHER OR ANYONE WHO'S HELPING
HER IS WRONG DOING. AT WHICH
POINT THEY OPEN THEMSELVES UP TO
LEGAL LIABILITY IF THEY PURSUE
THE CASE. IF ABUSERS AND
TRAFFICKERS KNOW THAT CRIMES
RELATED TO ABORTION OR
CHILDBIRTH WILL GO
UNINVESTIGATED AND UNPUNISHED.
IT WILL LEAD TO MORE CASES OF
CHILD ABANDONMENT. AND DEATH AND
MORE HARM TO PREGNANT WOMEN
INFANTICIDE IS AN ACT OR
OMISSION THAT KILLS A HELPLESS
BABY. IS ALSO THE LOGICAL NEXT
STEP TO BE AN ABORTION
SANCTUARY. IF A BABY HAS NO
RIGHT TO LIFE AT THIRTY NINE
WEEKS AND OF CALIFORNIA SEARCH
NO INTEREST IN DEFENDING OR
PROTECTING THAT CHILD. THEN WHY
WOULD THE RIGHT ATTACH JUST
BECAUSE THE CHILD DRAWS BREATH.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BOTH NEED
NOURISHMENT PROTECTION TO
SURVIVE. NEITHER CAN CARE FOR
THEMSELVES FOR YEARS. VOTE NO ON
THIS CONFUSING OVER BROUGHT INTO
HUMANIZING FELL. THANK YOU.
RIGHT WILL NOW MOVE TO OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION WE WILL NOT TAKE
FURTHER TESTIMONY. BUT ONLY NAME
AFFILIATION AND OPPOSITION TO
THE BILL WILL START IN THE
HEARING ROOM I'M GOING TO AND
THEN MOVED TO THE PHONES. I'M
GOING TO ALLOW A MAXIMUM OF
THIRTY MINUTES FOR THIS. SECTION

OBVIOUSLY A AN ISSUE THAT-
BRINGS A LOT OF MOTION BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO START BY THANKING
THE AUTHOR BRINGS SUPPORT
MEASURE FOR AS WELL AS A
COMMITTEE OF WITH THE SUGGEST
AMENDMENTS I THINK THAT- AGAIN
FIND TO SOME OF THE LANGUAGE AND
MAKE IT VERY CLEAR WITH
INTENTIONALLY. IS AND IS NOT OF
THIS LEGISLATION AS WE DISCUSSED
THE IMPACTS OF CRIMINALIZING
PREGNANCY OUTCOMES IMPERATIVE HE
RECOGNIZED THE DESPAIR DISPARATE
IMPACT ON COMMUNITIESOF COLOR
AND THE ADVERSE HEALTH
IMPLICATIONS THAT COME WITH IT-
THE THESE INVESTIGATIONS OR
PROSECUTIONS RUN THE RISK OF
HARMING A PERSON'S HEALTH
LIVELIHOOD AND ABILITY TO CARE
FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND- WE
POLICE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES WE
ISOLATE PEOPLE FROM THEIR
COMMUNITIES AND THEIR LOVED ONES
WHICH MAKES. GETTING MEDICAL.
CARE EVEN MORE DIFFICULT IF NOT
IMPOSSIBLE. LOCAL FAST INCLUDE
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION COLLEGE OF
OBSTETRICIANS AND GYNECOLOGISTS.
AND THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH
ASSOCIATION OPPOSE A
CONVERSATION OF PREGNANCY LOSS.
AND WHEN PEOPLE FEAR ARREST
INTERNALIZATION THEY'RE LESS
LIKELY. TO SEE CARE AND SUPPORT
WHEN THEY NEED IT MOST-
FURTHERMORE THE RISK OF CIVIL
AND CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR
PREGNANCY ARE HIGHER FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE ALREADY TARGETED. FOR
SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ATION
INCLUDING BLACK INDIGENOUS OTHER
PEOPLE OF COLOR IMMIGRANTS.
LGBTQ PEOPLE YOUNG PEOPLE PEOPLE
LIVING IN POVERTY AND PEOPLE
THAT THE INTERSECTIONS OF THESE
VARIOUS IDENTITIES. IS ALREADY
H. MEDIX BRANDS FOR WOMEN TO
HAVE A PREGNANCY LOSS. LET US
NOT LATER THE TRAUMA AND
PUNITIVE WAY OF CANNELLA
JUSTICES NON TOP OF THE TRAUMA.
THAT WOMEN AND FAMILIES ARE
ALREADY UP FACING FOR THOSE
REASONS. I RESPECTFULLY UP ASKED
FOR AN AYE VOTE TO MAKE A MOTION
TO WITH BOTH. THANK YOU WE DO
THAT HAVE A MOTION AS THEIR
SECOND. ANDERSON THANK. OTHER
COMMENTS MISS DAVIES THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- I JUST WANNA BRING
SOMETHING UP IN REGARDS TO THIS
OBVIOUSLY THE COUNTRY SO BILL.
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY
OFFICE LIKE I'M SURE A LOT OF
YEARS HAVE HAD CALLS NON STOP.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT AS A
BODY HERE THAT I MEAN I GOT A
LOT OF CALLS FROM PEOPLE FROM MY
DISTRICT. I ALSO GOT A LOT OF
CALLS FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S
DISTRICTS AND SOME OF THE CALLS
WERE SAYING THAT IF I DON'T LIVE
IN THEIR DISTRICT THEY DON'T
TAKE YOU KNOW MY OPINION A BY
POSITION. AND I JUST WANT TO
REMIND US BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE
DO HAVE A LACK OF TRANSPARENCY
THAT THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN RIGHT
NOW. AND A LACK IN TRUST SO
HAVING EACH VOICE HEARD IS SO
IMPORTANT NOT TO MENTION THAT.
WHEN I VOTE I VOTE FOR MY
DISTRICT BUT I'M ALSO VOTING FOR
EVERY ENTIRE CALIFORNIA AND THAT
THEIR VOICE IS IMPORTANT TO BE
HEARD WHETHER THEY'RE IN MY
DISTRICT ARE NOT. I JUST THINK
THAT WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT
BETTER JOB BUT I THINK EVERYONE
BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS IMPORTANT
TO YOU THAT YOU'RE- YOU'RE
HEARING THEIR VOICES SO. JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE TRANSPARENCY IS
OUT THERE SO THAT WE CAN BUILD
THE TRUST BACK. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU OTHER COMMENTS QUESTIONS.
THIS WORKS YOU MAY CLOSE WELL I
WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE HERE
TO THANK THE CONSULTANTS AND THE
CHAIR- IN THE COMMENTS FROM
MISTER KALRA- AND AS WELL AS
EVERY WITH THE SENTIMENTS AROUND
TRANSPARENCY ENSURING THAT WE
HEAR EVERYONE OUT I KNOW THAT
THIS IS A VERY PASSIONATE
SUBJECT- ONE THAT I'M INVOLVED
IN AND OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CERTAIN
PARTY BUT I RESPECT OTHER
PEOPLE'S POINTS OF VIEW AS WELL
OF COURSE- I ALSO WANTED JUST
CLARIFIED I MADE THESE
CLARIFYING REMARKS TO MY OPENING
BUT JUST WANT TO REITERATE THEM.
THIS ISN'T THIS IS NOT A BILL
ABOUT INFANTICIDE- YOU KNOW I'LL
GIVE YOU A TANGIBLE EXAMPLE OF
SOMETHING THAT IS TRANSPIRED
YEAH- THERE WAS A WOMAN WHO WAS
EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT SHE WAS IN
A VERY TERRIBLE- CAR CRASH THEY
HAD TO HAVE AN EMERGENCY C.
SECTION AND FORTUNATELY THE BABY
DIED AND SHE WAS CHARGED ISSUES
PROSECUTED FOR THAT DEATH- SHE
SHOULD NOT BE CHARGED OR
PROSECUTED FOR ANY KIND OF
HOMICIDE OR MANSLAUGHTER IN THAT
SITUATION- THAT WAS A PREGNANCY
RELATED OUTCOME. SO THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO GUARD AGAINST
HERE- AND IN THE FACT THAT WE
HAVE TWO WOMEN RECENTLY IN
CALIFORNIA WHO HAVE BEEN
PERSECUTED FOR ON THE LOSS OF A
PREGNANCY IN CALIFORNIA IN
TWENTY TWENTY TWO- IS NOT OKAY
AND I KNOW THIS IS A HOT BUTTON
TOPIC ACROSS THIS COUNTRY- BUT I
KNOW I WHERE I STAND ON THIS
pHAVE ACCESSTO. SAFE AND LEGAL
ABORTIONS THAT WOMEN SHOULD NOT
BE PROSECUTED FOR- YOU KNOW ANY
KIND OF PREGNANCY RELATED
OUTCOME LOSS OF PREGNANCY- IT'S
ULTRA AND SO WITH THAT- AGAIN I
WILL HEAR ANYONE WHO HAS
SUPPORTER OPPOSITION- BUT I KNOW
I FIRMLY STAND ON THIS ISSUE AND
I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU WE DO HAVE A
MOTION AND A SECOND THAT MOTION
IS DUE PASSED AS AMENDED TO THE
HEALTH COMMITTEE. CALL THE ROLL

THREE OF US I. THE BILLS OUT
THANK YOU THANK YOU. SO WE WILL
NOW MOVE TO ITEM NUMBER ONE AB
TWENTY TWENTY NINE THIS BONTA.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR AND MEMBERS I
WOULD LIKE TO START BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEES AND MOMENTS I
ALSO WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY
APPRECIATION T. YOUR COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR HELP WITH THESE
AMENDMENTS. THAT IN THE PAST
YEAR MULTIPLE STATES HAVE RAMPED
UP THEIR ANTI ABORTION EFFORTS
AND PASSED LAWS TARGETING OUR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO AN
ABORTION LAST YEAR ALONE A
HUNDRED AND EIGHT ABORTION
RESTRICTIONS WERE ENACTED IN
NINETEEN STATES. THIS INCLUDES
TEXAS WHERE THEIR MOST RECENT
ANTI ABORTION LAW ENCOURAGES
PRIVATE CITIZENS TO ACT AS
BOUNTY HUNTERS TO SEEK OUT AND
TO THOSE WHO HAVE PROVIDED ANY
FORM OF SUPPORT TO PEOPLE
SEEKING AN ABORTION. INCLUDING
THEIR DOCTOR THIRD NURSE A
FRIEND WHO TALK TO THEM ABOUT
WHETHER TO GET THE ABORTION EVEN
THE UBER DRIVER. WITHIN THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
LIKELY TO WITH THE UNITED
SUPPORT STATE SUPREME COURT
LIKELY TO OVERTURN THE
PROTECTIONS GRANTED UNDER ROE V.
WADE. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE
IMPROVE ABORTION ACCESS AND
STRENGTHEN. PRIVACY PROTECTIONS
FOR THOSE SEEKING SENSITIVE
SERVICES. PEOPLE ALREADY ARE
WELL AND WILL CONTINUE TO COME
TO CALIFORNIA FOR REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH CARE. HOWEVER WE WORRY.
THAT OUT OF STATE CITIZENS AND
ACTORS WILL DEMAND THE MEDICAL
RECORDS OF THOSE WHO SEE KERR
HERE TO PUNISH THEM FOR
EXERCISING. THEIR FUNDAMENTAL
RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA. NO ONE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO MINIMIZE NOT
MANIPULATE CALIFORNIA'S LEGAL
SYSTEM TO TARGET AND PUNISH
PEOPLE WHO SEEK CARE AND REFUGE
HERE. MY BILL AB TWENTY NINE
WILL ENSURE OUT OF STATE
SUBPOENAS WHICH SEEK INFORMATION
RELATED TO A PATIENT WHO
RECEIVED REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
CARE. HERE IN CALIFORNIA ARE NOT
GRANTED BY DOING THIS CALIFORNIA
WILL PROTECT THE MEDICAL
PRIVACY. OF THOSE PATIENTS WHO
MAY BE TARGETED BY HOSTILE LAWS
IN OTHER STATES. AB TWENTY
NINETY ONE ALSO ENSURES THAT
DEPARTMENT OF INSURANCE CAN
ENFORCE VIOLATIONS OF THE
RELEASE OF MEDICAL RECORDS.
RELATED TO SENSITIVE SERVICES.
CALIFORNIA MUST PROACTIVELY
PROTECT THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF
MEDICAL RECORDS AS WE SEE STATES
AROUND THE COUNTRY PAVING THE
WAY TO USE THOSE RECORDS TO
ENFORCE THEIR OWN STATES. ANTI
ABORTION LAWS. THANK YOU AND AS
A WITNESS TODAY I HAVE LEAD TO
MY TO BORA WITH PLANNED
PARENTHOOD AFFILIATES OF
CALIFORNIA A CO SPONSOR OF THIS
BILL. THANK YOU WHEN IS PLEASE.
YOU TERM AND STONE AND MEMBERS I
AM LISA. FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD
AFFILIATES OF CALIFORNIA
REPRESENTING THE SEVEN
AFFILIATES IN THE STATE
OPERATING OVER A HUNDRED HEALTH
CENTERS. THE CONSTITUTIONAL
PROTECTIONS UNDER ROE VERSUS
WADE ARE NO LONGER ENSURING
ACCESS TO ABORTION ACCESS.
ABORTION ACROSS THE NATION. EVEN
AS THE US SUPREME COURT
CONSIDERS A DIRECT CHALLENGE TO
ROE. THE COURT HAS ALREADY
UPHELD TEXAS SENATE BILL EIGHT
AND IT'S DELIBERATE LEGAL SCHEME
TO CIRCUMVENT JUDICIAL REVIEW OF
AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW.
ALLOWING TEXAS TO RELY ON
PRIVATE CITIZENS TO USE CIVIL
LAWSUITS TO DO TO TAKE AWAY
PEOPLE'S CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
THE TEXAS ABORTION HAND HAS BEEN
IN EFFECT NOW FOR THE PAST SEVEN
MONTHS. AT THE SAME TIME ANTI
ABORTION LAWMAKERS HAVE
INTRODUCED FIVE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY NINE RESTRICTIONS IN
FORTY ONE STATES SO FAR THIS
YEAR. WITH THREE ABORTION BANS
BEING RECENTLY ENACTED IN
ARIZONA IDAHO AND WYOMING. IN
OTHER STATES LIKE MISSOURI
LAWMAKERS ARE TAKING AN EVEN
MORE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH
ATTEMPTING TO BAN RESIDENTS FROM
LEAVING THE STATE TO OBTAIN AN
ABORTION. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT
IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS OVER
THIRTY SIX MILLION PEOPLE BOOKS
IN OVER HALF OF THE STATES WILL
LOSE ACCESS TO ABORTION IN OUR
HOME STATE. THESE BANDS DENY
PEOPLE TIMELY ACCESS TO CARE
HARM PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY
FACING SYSTEMIC BARRIERS IN THE
HEALTH SYSTEM. AND FORCE PEOPLE
TO FLEE THEIR HOMES TO GET THE
CARE THAT THEY NEED AND THEY
DESERVE. WE ARE PROUD OF THE
WORK THAT THIS STATE AND THIS
LEGISLATURE HAS DONE AND IS
DOING TO ENSURE ABORTION ACCESS
IN CALIFORNIA. BUT WE MUST DO
MORE. FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD
PROTECTING PATIENT
CONFIDENTIALITY IS AT THE CORE
OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED BY OUR
AFFILIATES. THE PATIENT'S
MEDICAL RECORDS SHOULD NEVER BE
USED TO PUNISH SOMEONE FOR
OBTAINING AN ABORTION A RIGHT
EXPLICITLY PROTECTED UNDER OUR
STATE LAWS. AB TWENTY ONE NINETY
ONE IS THE ABOLITION SAFEGUARDS
IN THE LAW TO PROTECT THE
MEDICAL RECORDS OF ABORTION
PATIENTS TO ENSURE THIS
INFORMATION IS NOT USED AS
EVIDENCE. IN AN OUT OF STATE
CASE TO PENALIZE THE PATIENT WHO
SEEKS CARE IN OUR STATE. IN
WOULD SIMILARLY PROTECT THOSE
WHO PROVIDE ABORTIONS OR ASSIST
PATIENTS TO ACCESS ABORTION
KAREN CALIFORNIA. WE THANK THIS
COMMITTEE AND FOR THEIR THOROUGH
ANALYSIS AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BONTA FOR CARRYING THIS
IMPORTANT BILL. SO CALIFORNIA
CAN BE A SAFE HAVEN FOR THOSE
WHO SEEK THE ABORTION CARE IN
OUR STATE. THANK YOU THANK YOU

MOVE TO OPPOSITION ON A B. TWO
ZERO NINE ONE IS THERE ANYONE IN
THE HEARING ROOM WHO WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION OF AB TWO
ZERO NINE ONE. THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME TO ADDRESS THIS
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS JENNIFER
MILBORNE I'M THE COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT COORDINATOR FOR
ABORTION SURVIVORS NETWORK. THE
ONLY ORGANIZATION THAT SERVES
THE SURVIVORS OF ABORTIONS AND
THEIR FAMILIES. I BELIEVE THAT
MEDICAL RECORDS AND HISTORY ARE
EXCEPTIONALLY PERSONAL HOWEVER
KEEPING ABORTION AND ITS IMPACT
PRIVATE TO CREATE A SAFE HAVEN
FOR ABORTION. WILL NOT
ELIMINATES COST TO WOMEN AND THE
CHILDREN IN HARM'S. I SPEAK WITH
SPECIFIC AUTHORITY BECAUSE I AM
THE VICTIM OF A FAILED ABORTION.
FIRST I DO NOT WISH TO
CRIMINALIZE WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD
OR SEEK ABORTIONS. OR PUBLICIZE
THEIR HEALTH RECORDS. IN FACT IT
IS THE HEALTH RECORDS OF MANY OF
THE PORTION SURVIVORS THAT I
SERVE. THAT HOLD THE KEYS TO
THEIR HISTORY AND THEIR FUTURE.
SECOND I WISH TO CLARIFY
ABORTION IS NOT HEALTH CARE. THE
ONLY REASON I AM ALIVE TODAY IS
BECAUSE THE FAILED HEALTH CARE
MY BIOLOGICAL MOM RECEIVED. THE
ABORTION DOCTOR FAILED TO
COMPLETE THE ABORTION PROCEDURE.
MY LIFE WAS SAVED BECAUSE A
DOCTOR FAILED. USUALLY WHEN A
DOCTOR FAIL SOMEONE DIES. I WAS
NOT A DISEASE THAT NEEDED TO BE
TREATED I AM A HUMAN BEING. HOW
CAN SOMETHING BE CONSIDERED
HEALTH CARE WHEN THE DESIRED
OUTCOME IS A HEARTBEAT STOPPED.
AN ABORTION AS AN OPTION
EXERCISE WHEN WOMEN ARE LEFT
UNCARED FOR AND BELIEVE ABORTION
IS THE ONLY OPTION FOR THEM. OR
THEY ARE FORCED TO HAVE AN
ABORTION AGAINST THEIR WILL.
THIS BILL WILL MAKE CALIFORNIA A
DESTINATION FOR ABORTION. AS
STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
RECOGNIZE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
AND THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE AT
ALL STAGES. THE ABORTION
INDUSTRY IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WILL COLLABORATE TO
EXPLOIT. VULNERABLE WOMEN AND
EXTINGUISH SUPPLIES OF PREBORN
INFANTS. YOU MUST SUPPORT THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION WHICH
STATES ALL PEOPLE ARE BY NATURE
FREE AND INDEPENDENT HAVE
INALIENABLE RIGHTS. AMONG THESE
ARE ENJOYING AND- DEFENDING LIFE
AND LIBERTY. HOW CAN A RIGHT TO
AN ABORTION SUPERSEDE MY RIGHT
TO LIVE. I URGE YOU TO VOTE
AGAINST THIS BILL. THANK YOU
FOR. NEXT WITNESS. GOOD

MISTER SALAS I'VE BEEN NUMBER
ELEVEN A. B. TWENTY THREE SIXTY
NINE. THANK YOU MISTER MEMBERS.
FIRST LET ME START BY SAYING
THANK YOU TO YOU AND YOUR
COMMITTEE FOR ALL THE WORK WITH
MY STAFF ARE WORKING WITH THIS
BILL APPRECIATE- THE SUPPORT OF
THE HELP. MEMBERS SAY IMPROPER
PRESENT AB TWENTY THREE SIXTY
NINE WHICH ENCOURAGES ATTORNEYS
TO TAKE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
SURVIVORS CASES AND REMOVES
UNNECESSARY HURDLES FOR
SURVIVORS REQUESTING. DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE RESTRAINING ORDERS ALSO
KNOWN AS DVR ROSE. CURRENTLY IT
IS UP TO THE COURTS TO DECIDE TO
AWARD ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS
OF A SURVIVOR WINS OUR DVR-
CASES. IN SOME INSTANCES QUARTER
ACTUALLY REQUIRING SURVIVORS TO
MEET MORE REQUIREMENTS. THAN
THEIR ABUSER WHEN AWARDING
ATTORNEYS FEES BECAUSE COURTS
HEARD CONSISTENTLY APPLYING
CURRENT LAW. SURVIVORS NOT ONLY
FACED PHYSICAL ABUSE BUT THEY'RE
ALSO OFTEN VICTIMS TO ECONOMIC
ABUSE ABUSERS TAKE AWAY THEIR
VICTIMS FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
DENYING THEM FROM HAVING. HAVING
A JOB OR PUT A ARE SPENDING
THEIR VICTIMS MONEY WITHOUT
THEIR CONSENT AND PUTTING THEM
DEEP INTO THAT. THE SLEEVES MANY
SURVIVORS WITH LITTLE TO NO
RESOURCES WHEN THEY TRY TO
LEAVE. PETITIONERS FOR DVR ROSE
ARE OVERWHELMINGLY UNDER.
UNREPRESENTATIVE I'M REPRESENTED
AND MOSTLY WOMEN AND THEIR
CHILDREN. WITHOUT REPRESENTATION
SURVIVORS ARE MORE LIKELY TO
LOSE THEIR DVR- CASES- THEY HAVE
TO JUGGLE. TRYING TO LEAVE THEIR
ABUSER WILL NAVIGATING THE
COURTS EVIDENCE REQUIREMENTS AND
PROCEDURE. THE SURVIVOR LOSES
THEIR CASE THEY WILL BE ON THE
HOOK FOR THOUSANDS OR TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COSTS AND
FUND THEIR- AND FUND THEIR VIEWS
ARE IN THE PROCESS THIS PROCESS
IS BURDENSOME DOES NOT PROTECT
SURVIVORS OR THEIR FAMILIES AND
DISCOURAGES VICTIMS FROM TRYING
TO GET A DVR- IN THE FIRST PLACE
AB TWENTY THREE SIXTY NINE FIX
IS THIS PROCESS BY REQUIRING THE
COURT. AFTER ISSUING A DVR- TO
ORDER ABUSERS PAPER SURVIVORS
ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS THIS
ONCE ADVISED MORE TOURNEY'S TAKE
UP IN REPRESENTS RIDERS IN THIS
CASE. I HAVE WITH ME TO TESTIFY
TODAY COREY HERNANDEZ A STAFF
ATTORNEY WITH FAMILY VIOLENCE
APPELLATE PROJECT. THANK YOU I
DO HAVE COREY HERNANDEZ LISTED
SO WITH US BY THE TELEPHONE HEY
COREY HERNANDEZ ARE YOU WITH US
. YES HELLO CAN YOU HEAR ME YES
GO AHEAD PLEASE. THANK YOU MY
NAME'S COREY HERNANDEZ I'M AN
ATTORNEY AT THE FAMILY VIOLENCE
APPELLATE PROJECT OR NONPROFIT
BASED IN OAKLAND BUT WE ARE
STATEWIDE AND WE PROVIDE FREE
SERVICES TO SURVIVORS OF ABUSE
WHO ARE APPEALING CHALLENGING
TRIAL COURT ORDERS. THAT
APARTMENT LIST- AND IF THERE'S
BEEN AN ISSUE THAT WE'VE SEEN
AND SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN TWENTY
TWELVE- WE THINK THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER WE THINK THE CHAIR THE
COMMITTEE FOR THEIR WORK ON THIS
BILL AND ESPECIALLY SOME OF THE
SALAS FIRST LEADERSHIP- AB
TWENTY THREE SIXTY NINE IS A
DIFFERENT DIMENSION IS BASICALLY
DECIDED TO TWO THINGS FIRST. WE
WANT TO EMPOWER MORE SURVIVORS
TO BRING FORTH MORE CASES WITH
REPRESENTATION WITHOUT THE WORRY
THAT THEY MAY BE LIABLE FOR
THEIR OWN ATTORNEYS' FEES- OR IF
THEY LOSE THEY MAY BE AT RISK
FOR PAYING THE OTHER. PERSON'S
ATTORNEY SEES FOR THE NEAR ACTED
MAKING THE REQUEST AND SECOND WE
WANT TO ENCOURAGE MORE ATTORNEYS
TAKE MORE LOW INCOME SURVIVORS
CASES. HAVING REPRESENTATION CAN
MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN ANY
COURT CASE PARTICULARLY FOR
SURVIVORS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
WHERE THEY HAVE TO INTRODUCE
EVIDENCE FOLLOWING COMPLEX RULES
FACE THE PERSON WHO ABUSED THEM
IN COURT AND TESTIFY IN A PUBLIC
SETTING TO VERY PERSONAL DETAILS
OF THEIR LIFE. I'M AT THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MENTIONED THE
CURRENT LAWS BEING
INCONSISTENTLY APPLIED AND I
WANT TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF HOW
THAT WORKS AGAINST SURVIVORS SO
FOR EXAMPLE- WE'VE SEN
SURVIVORS WHO MAY BE OF MODERATE
INCOME AND MAYBE THEY CAN AFFORD
THEIR OWN ATTORNEY. NOT ALL THAT
COMMON BUT IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS-
OR MAYBE A SURVIVORS OF LOWER
VERY LITTLE IN COMMON BUT THEY
CAN MAYBE SCROUNGED UP ENOUGH BY
BORROWING FROM FRIENDS ARE
GETTING GET- SO THEY MAY BRING
FOR THE RESTRAINING ORDER ITH
AN ATTORNEY WHEN GET THE
RESTRAINING ORDER. AND THAT THE
CURRENT LAWS WRITTEN IN THE TVPA
THE COURT BUT STILL REFUSED. TO
GIVE THEM ATTORNEYS FEES SIMPLY
BECAUSE THE COURT THE STATUTE
THE LAW GIVEN THAT GIVEN THAT
DISCRETION- OR THE COURT COULD
SAY THAT WHILE THE SURVIVOR WAS
ABLE TO AFFORD THE ATTORNEY ON
THEIR OWN- SO THEY DON'T NEED
THE RESPONDED TO PAY FOR THAT.
AND IN THESE TYPE THE CASE OF
AN- SURVIVORS ARE ESSENTIALLY
HAVING TO. THEIR IDEAS. SO IF
PASSED THE EIGHTY TWENTY THREE
SIXTY NINE WHICH- HOW THE
OUTCOME WILL LOOK IN. IN THE
FUTURES IN THAT TIME SCENARIO-
UNDER THE BILL COURT WOULD
ACTUALLY REQUIRE- TO ORDER
RESPONDENT PAY FOR THE ATTORNEYS
THE SURVIVORS ARE. FEES IF THAT
RESPONSE HAS THE ABILITY TO PAY
THOSE- AND OUTSIDE WE THINK THE
BILL BRINGS THE TV. AND THAT.
SCHEMES OF DOMESTIC BROWN
RESTRAINING OR MORE LINE WITH.
REMEDIAL LIKE THE FAIR HOUSING
ACT OF FAIR EMPLOYMENT AND
HOUSING ACT. BY MAKING IT EASIER
FOR PETITIONERS TO GET THEIR
FEES AND HARDER FOR RESPONDENTS
WE ENCOURAGE MORE PEOPLE. TO GET

BILL THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF
WORK THE WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR
QUITE SOME TIME TRYING TO FIND A
WAY TO GIVE EOPLE VALLEY
CALIFORNIA ID'S UNFORTUNATELY
WHAT THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A
NUMBER OF YEARS AGO THAT ALLOWS
FOLKS REGARDLESS OF
DOCUMENTATION STATUS TO GET TO
GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE. DOES NOT
COMPLETELY FILL THE BILL WE'VE
BEEN WORKING TO GET PEOPLE
IDENTIFICATIONS AS THEY COME OUT
OF PRISONS AND JAILS AND THOSE
ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DRIVER'S
LICENSE WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE
FOR THAT PROGRAM SO JUST SEEMS
TO HAVE BEEN AN OVERSIGHT IN
THAT PREVIOUS LEGISLATION TO NOT
INCLUDE A CALIFORNIA ID
DISTINGUISH FROM A FEDERALLY
COMPLIANT ID THIS WOULD BE A
CALIFORNIA ISSUED. ID FOR ANYONE
REALLY WHO DOESN'T WANT TO GET A
REAL I OR CANNOT GET A REAL ID
FOR WHAT EVER. REASON THIS IS A
REALLY VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD BILL
THAT ADDS CALIFORNIA ID'S TO
THAT PROGRAM. WE ARE MAKING IT.
CONTINGENT UPON APPROPRIATION
AND GIVING. THE DMV YOU PLENTY
OF TIME TO BE ABLE TO PUT IN
PLACE THEIR SYSTEMS. SO WITH
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN
AYE VOTE. OPERATOR DO WE HAVE MS

RIGHT NOW START WITH NORMAN
AROUND OF TESTIMONY GOOD
AFTERNOON MY NAME IS MEMORANDA I
AM AN IMMIGRANT AND I HAVE LIVED
IN CALIFORNIA SINCE NINETEEN
NINETY NINE. MORE THAN TWENTY
YEARS. I AM FROM PERU I'M
MARRIED TO NATURALIZED CITIZEN
BORN IN ABOUT THE DOLLAR.
DESPITE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO GET MY LEGAL DOCUMENTS. I
COULDN'T APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP
BECAUSE OF A MATTER IN WHICH
THEY DEPARTED MANY YEARS AGO.
I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN MY FAMILY
WITHOUT LEGAL DOCUMENTS. OUR
INCOME IS LIMITED BECAUSE MY
HUSBAND HAD AN ACCIDENT AT WORK
AND IS ON DISABILITY. I TAKE
CARE OF THEM AND I WORK WHEN I
CAN TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN OR
CLEANING HOUSES. I DON'T DRIVE I
THINK THE BEST MY HUSBAND HAS A
CAR. BUT DRIVING PUT THEMSELVES
AT RISK AND YOU CAN'T GET ME TO
DRIVE FOR THAT REASON. BUT CAN I
HAVE A LICENSE AND I CANNOT GET
ANOTHER OFFICIAL ID BESIDE MY
PASSPORT. IF I HAD AN ID CARD I
WOULD FEEL MUCH SAFER I'M AFRAID
OF LOSING THE PASSPORT. AND IN%
ANY CASE I'M GOING TO SHOW IT IN
THE OFFICES. PEOPLE ASK ME IF I
HAVE SOMETHING ELSE. PEOPLE HERE
USED TO ID CARD DRIVER'S. WHEN I
SHOWED A PATH. IT'S STRANGE OF.
SO BY CARRIED A- IF THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO. IT ANYWAYS. I LIKE TO
HAVE LEGAL DOCUMENTS UNTIL WE
ACHIEVE THAT AND ID CARD WILL BE
VERY USEFUL TO ME. I COULD SIGN
UP FOR THE EIGHT PROGRAMS FROM
THE STATE AND THE CITY TO HELP
PEOPLE LIKE US. MY HUSBAND WOULD
HAVE TO THE CITIZENSHIP AND ME
WITH MY CARD. WHEN A PERSON HAS
NO SUCH SECURITY OR IT.
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING. MUCH
HARDER. THIS WILL HARD TO BEAT
BECAUSE- I CANNOT SIGN UP FOR
GOVERNMENT PROGRAM. INCLUDING
THOSE HELP UNDOCUMENTED. LIKE
ME. I GET FRUSTRATED BECAUSE
THEY'RE ONLY TRYING TO SURVIVE.
SOMETIME AGO. WE APPLY FOR
MEDICARE. THEY GAVE IT TO MY
HUSBAND AND NOT TO ME BECAUSE I
HAD NO SOCIAL. BUT IF THEY OPEN
THAT ACCOUNT FOR PEOPLE WITHOUT
STATUS WE'RE GOING TO NEED
SOMETHING THAT IDENTIFIES. US WE
HAVE WORKED FOR MANY YEARS AND
WE HAVE PAID OUR TAXES. I THINK
WE NEED TO HAVE AN ID CARD TO
MAKE IT THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES.
HE ASKED MORE LIKE PEOPLE.
UNLESS LIKE PROBLEMS. REMEMBER
CHIRLA. THAT'S NOT OTHER PEOPLE
HAVE A THING ISSUE OF NOT. A
NIGHT. THEY CANNOT GET IN A
SIXTY LICENSE OR- THE TRAIN
TESTED THEY DON'T HAVE. TO HELP
THEM PREPARE. IT'S NOT SO EASY
SHOWING AN EXAM YOU KNOW WE'RE
NOT. FOR ANYTHING OUT OF LINE.
WE JUST WANT TO BE AT PEACE IN
OUR COMMUNITIES AND MOVE. WITHIN
THE COMPETENCE. WE WANT IDEA
CORRECT IDENTIFIES THE PEOPLE
WHO BELONG IN OUR COMMUNITY

LOT. OF SHOWN ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES. HAVING AN ID CARD
TO HELP IMMIGRANTS ACCESS STATE
COUNTY AND CITY PROGRAMS AND
BENEFITS. SUCH AS FOOD AND CASH
ASSISTANCE. AS WELL AS THE PAPER
RENTAL HOUSING. AND STREET
VENDING PERMITS. PEOPLE NEED A
VALID OF ID TO OPEN UP ACCOUNT.
CASH A CHECK GET A MARRIAGE
LICENSE. OR BUY A CAR. NOT
HAVING AN ID HAS AN IMPACT
BEYOND AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS MANY
U. S. BORN CHILDREN LIVE IN
MIXED STATUS HOUSEHOLDS. WERE
APPARENTLY UNDOCUMENTED. ONE
APPARENTLY UNABLE TO APPLY FOR%
GOVERNMENT BENEFITS FOR THE
FAMILY BECAUSE THEY LACK AN ID
THE US CITIZEN CHILDREN ARE ALSO
AFFECTED. SECOND AND IDEAS
GATEWAY TO MEANINGFUL
PARTICIPATION AND INCLUSION. AND
SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERY
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS. BOTH
DOCUMENTED AND UNDOCUMENTED
CALIFORNIANS WERE UNABLE TO
OBTAIN IT IS SIXTY DRIVERS

HAVE ACCESS TO A CAR. ELDERS
PEOPLE LEADING CORPORATION ARE

ON THE TOP OF THE CONSUMER
FEDERATION OF CALIFORNIA IN

FURTHER SUPPORTING QUEUE AT THIS
TIME THANK YOU WE WILL NOW MOVE
TO OPPOSITION I HAVE TIMOTHY ME
HAN ON THE TELEPHONE AS WELL AS
ANTHONY. SAMPSON I'M SORRY
TIMOTHY MEAN IN THE TWENTY
MINUTE ARE YOU WITH US ON THE
PHONE. YES I AM MISTER CHAIRMAN
GO AHEAD PLEASE. THANK YOU- MY
NAME IS TIM MINAMI EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE GUARANTEED ASSET
PROTECTION ALLIANCE ALSO KNOWN
AS GAP WE ARE THE NATIONAL TRADE
ASSOCIATION FOR LENDERS INSURERS
AND ADMINISTRATORS THAT TOGETHER
PROVIDE- THE MAJORITY OF GAP
WAIVERS OFFERED THROUGHOUT THE
UNITED STATES. OVER THE PAST
FIFTEEN YEARS WE'VE WORKED IN-
OVER FORTY STATES TO ENACT
LEGISLATION NO SURE THAT HAPPENS
PROVIDED WITH PROPER DISCLOSURE
STRONG FINANCIAL BACKING IN A
WAY THAT ASSURES CONSUMERS ARE
PROTECTED. IN FACT SOME OF THE
STATES THAT THE EARLIER SPEAKER
MENTIONED- CONTAIN THE MODEL
ACCIDENT KAPPA- DEVELOPED IT HAS
TAKEN ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
NOT ADOPTED OVER HALF THE STATE
SO FAR. I SINCE BEEN SAID NOT
INSURANCE UPON GAP WAIVER. AND I
GO A GOOD. OF HOW GAP WORKS IS A
CONSUMER MIGHT BORROW THIRTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS TO PURCHASE
CAR. AND IF IT'S TOTALED IN AN
ACCIDENT OR IF IT'S STOLEN THE
COLLISION INSURANCE COMPANY
MIGHT SEND A CHECK FOR TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. LEAVING
THE CONSUMER WITH NO CAR AND
FIVE THOUSAND AND REMAINING THAT
ON THE CAR. YEAH APTOSE WAVE
EITHER ALL OR PART OF THAT
AMOUNT DEPEND UPON THE TERMS OF
THE GAP AGREEMENT AND I CAN TELL. YOU THAT AS CONSUMER PRODUCTS
GO. GAP WAIVERS PAY AN AWFUL OF
TWENTY AND CAL. ACROSS THE
UNITED STATES. TODAY WE MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE SB TWENTY
THREE ELEVEN IN ITS CURRENT FORM
WE SUBMITTED A LETTER ALONG WITH
THE CALIFORNIA NEW CAR DEALERS
ASSOCIATION OUTLINING- THE
AMENDMENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS
BILL BETTER. WE DEFINITELY
APPRECIATE ASSEMBLYMAN MENTIONS
WILLINGNESS TO SIT DOWN WITH US
AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO
DISCUSS WAYS THAT LEGISLATION
COULD BE AMENDED TO ASSURE
CONSUMER PROTECTION BUT ONE AT
THE SAME TIME NOT IT SHOULD BUT
THE PROVISION OF THIS IMPORTANT
PRODUCT. FRST I WOULD SAY THAT
WE DO AGREE WITH SOME WOMEN'S
GOAL OF ASSURING THAT IF A
PERSON DECIDES TO TERMINATE. THE
CREDIT AGREEMENT EARLY FOR
EXAMPLE THEY WANT TO. TRADE THE
CAR IN OR THEY JUST THEY GOT A
TAX CHECK IN THE MAIL AND I WANT
TO PICK THE CAR UP EARLY. THERE
DOES NEED TO BE A PROCESS TO
AUTOMATICALLY REQUIRE THE
CONSUMER GETS A REFUND. I'LL BE
HONOR AND PORTION OF THE
CONTRACT WITHOUT THE CONSUMER
HAVING TO REQUEST THAT REFUND.
WE SOUGHT LEGISLATION DOING
EXACTLY THAT IN OTHER STATES IT
IS A COMPLICATED PROCESS HOWEVER
TO REFUND GAP. BECAUSE THERE ARE
MANY PARTIES INVOLVED INCLUDING
THE CAR DEALER THE CATHOLIC
MINISTRY- THE LANDER AND
INSURANCE SO WE WANT TO WORK
WITH THE AUTHOR TO GET THE
WORDING IN PLACE TO MAKE IT
WORKABLE. WE ALSO THINK THAT IT
IS EXTREMELY. TO HAVE- TO
PROVIDE THE GAP REFUND AMOUNT-
EVERY TIME. THE LENDER WOULD
COMMUNICATE WITH THE CUSTOMER.
THAT WOULD BE EVERY MONTH THEY
SEND ABOUT A STATEMENT. SHOWING
HOW MUCH IS LEFT ON THE LOAN OR
A CUSTOMER CALLED IN BECAUSE
THEY'RE MAKING A LATE PAYMENT.
THEY WOULD HAVE THEY WOULD HAVE
TO BE A NEW CALCULATION EVERY
SINGLE TIME THAT HAPPENS- WE-
DISAGREE WITH PLACING A CAP ON
THE AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED
FOR THESEWAIVERS. ONLY THREE
STATES TAKE THAT APPROACH. BUT
THE REST OF THE COUNTRY RELIANT
ON COMPETITION AND I CAN TELL
YOU. BOUGHT A CAR RECENTLY YOU
KNOW THAT- COMPETITIONS VERY
MUCH ALIVE AT CAR DEALERSHIPS
THEY WANT TO DEAL AND THEY WANT
THE LOWEST COST FOR THEIR
CONSUMERS SIR I NEED TO WRAP UP
WE WANT TO CLARIFY THAT. YES I
THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES THAT WE
HERE BY ALL IN ALL WE ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH.
ASSEMBLY WHEN MAIENSCHEIN AND
AGAIN ASSEMBLY. OPPOSE THE BILL
IN ITS CURRENT FORM THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR THANK YOU. AND THEN
ANTHONY SAMPSON. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR MISTER VICE CHAIR
MEMBERS ANTHONY SAMPSON THE
SAMPSON ADVISORS ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA NEW CAR DEALERS
ASSOCIATION ONLINE MY COMMENTS-
WITH THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM
KAPPA- I SEE IN CDA STAKE IN THE
PRESENCE AMENDED POSITION ON THE
BILL AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATE.
THE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS AND
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S WILLINGNESS
TO ENGAGE IN A DIALOGUE WITH US
REGARDING OUR CONCERNS- I'LL
JUST START OFF BY. STATING THAT
WE UNDERSTAND FROM OUR
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE AUTHOR AND
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE THAT
ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES
THAT THE BILL SEEKING TO ADDRESS
IS TO ENSURE THAT ANY UNDER THE
MOUNTAINS THAT CAR BUYERS BUYERS
PAID FOR GAP WAIVERS ARE
PROMPTLY AND AUTOMATICALLY.
REFUNDED IF THEY PAY OFF THEIR
LOANS EARLIER CANCEL GAP
PROTECTION. TNC GAVE VERY MUCH
AGREES THAT IT IS CRITICAL TO
PROVIDE PROMPT PAYMENT OF ANY
GAP PROTECTION. REFUND DUE TO
THE CONSUMER INTO THIS AND- WE
SUPPORT THE UNDERLYING INTENT OF
THE MEASURE. WE HAVE SOME
COMPLEX CONCERNS WITHTHE WAY IN
WHICH THE BILL SEEKS TO
EFFECTUATE THOSE REFUNDS AND
WE'VE SUBMITTED AMENDMENTS THE
AUTHORED AND SPONSORED HOPES WE
CAN. REACH AN AGREEMENT ON THAT
ISSUE. MORE GENERALLY I JUST
WANT TO KNOW FOR THE COMMITTEE
THAT FOR MANY CONSUMERS GAP
PROTECTION PROVIDE THE
RELATIVELY LOW COST METHOD TO
SECURE PEACE OF MIND TO PROTECT
AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF
HAVING TO MAKE PAYMENTS. ON A
VEHICLE THEY NO LONGER OWN FOR
MONTHS OR YEARS. ESPECIALLY WITH
BOTH NEW AND USED VEHICLE PRICES
REACHING RECORD HIGHS IN RECENT
YEARS DUE TO SUPPLY CHAIN
CONSTRAINTS AND THE REALITY THAT
MANY AMERICANS CANNOT AFFORD
FOOTBALL FOR THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS DOWN ON A VEHICLE
PURCHASE. GAP PROTECTION COULD
PROVIDE A VALUABLE IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS CONSUMERS THE RECENT
STUDY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN SHOWED THAT MANY
CONSUMERS HAVE CHOSEN TO
PURCHASE GAP PROTECTIONS THE
MEANS OF PROTECTING AGAINST
LOSSES AND PURCHASERS.
OVERWHELMINGLY REPORTED. THEIR
SATISFACTION WITH THE PRODUCT.
WE UNDERSTAND THE CONSUMER OUT
OF WITH ANY PRODUCT OF THE
MESSES MAKE PRODUCT PERFECT. AND
SO WHILE SHE IN CDA WISHES TO
WORK WITH THE- IN THE ATTORNEY.
LAW TOREACH A SOLUTION THAT
MAKES FOR ALL. CMCT BELIEVES.
THAT THE BILL IN ITS FORM IT'S
PROBLEMATIC FOR SOME OF THE
REASONS OUTLINED BY THE PREVIOUS
SPEAKER. AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
RESOLVING THOSE ISSUES MOVING
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
