CHANGE EDUCATION. AT WEST LA
COLLEGE. FIRST I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE CHAIR THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR WORKING SO HARD WITH US. AND
WE'RE ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS-
WHICH BETTER ELABORATE THE
PURPOSE AND GOALS OF THIS BILL.
CALIFORNIA IS A LEADER IN
CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND
CLEAN ENERGY POLICY. WE'VE
SEVERAL AMBITIOUS DEADLINES SUCH
AS REDUCING OUR MISSIONS BY 40%
FROM NINETEEN NINETY LEVELS BY
TWENTY THIRTY. HOWEVER THE
CALIFORNIA STATE AUDITOR I
STATED THAT WE ARE FAILING SHORT
OF THESE GOALS. ADDITIONALLY A
STATE BY PEARSON REVEALED THAT
88% OF ADULTS GLOBALLY FEEL THAT
SCHOOLS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO
TEACH STUDENTS ABOUT CLIMATE.
AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES 54%
FEEL UNQUALIFIED TO WORK IN A
CLEAN ENERGY JOB AND TO GET THE
PERCENT BELIEVE THAT IT'S THE
GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY. TO
FUND THESE TRAININGS AB NINETEEN
THIRTEEN WILL HELP ADDRESS THESE
ISSUES BY CREATING. THE LACC DE
CALIFORNIA CENTER FOR CLIMATE
CHANGE EDUCATION THE CENTER WILL
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING A
BLUEPRINT FOR CLIMATE CHANGE
CURRICULA AT THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WILL ALSO
PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL CLIMATE.
EDUCATION RESOURCES FOR K.
THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION.
FINALLY IT WILL FACILITATE HANDS
ON JOB TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES
FOR GREEN JOBS. AND CAREERS. THE
CENTER WILL BE ESTABLISHED AT
WEST LA COLLEGE. WHICH IS
CURRENTLY THE ONLY COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IN THE STATE THAT OFFERS
A CLIMATE CHANGE AND
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES ASSOCIATES
DEGREE. WEST LOS ANGELES COLLEGE
IS PARTICULARLY RELEVANT.
BECAUSE OF ITS PROXIMITY TO THE
INGLEWOOD OIL FIELD THE LARGEST
URBAN OIL FIELD IN THE COUNTRY.
AND ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE
WORLD AND IT'S HOME TO A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF LOW INCOME
STUDENTS OF COLOR WHO HAVE COME
FROM THE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
MOST IMPACT. IMPACTED BY ADVERSE
CLIMATE CHANGE EXPERIENCES. IN
SEPTEMBER OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE
THE LOS ANGELES CITY COUNCIL
VOTED TO CLOSING WITH OILFIELD.
BY NOVEMBER TWENTY TWENTY SIX.
AS WE INTO THE PROCESS OF
PHASING OUT THIS FIELD. AND
OTHERS THE CENTER'S PURPOSE IS
GOING TO BECOME EVEN MORE.
EVIDENT THE CITY WILL PROVIDE
RESOURCES FOR PEOPLE
TRANSITIONING INTO CLEAN JOBS
SUSTAINABLE FUTURES. THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE SENATE THIS
PARTICULAR CAMPUS WILL ALLOW FOR
A MODEL FOR THE REST OF THE
STATE TO CONTINUE TO BUILD OUT.

I WANT TO THANK THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNICATIONS OFFICE FOR
WORKING SO CLOSELY WITH US ON
THIS LEGISLATION WE'VE HAD A
NUMBER OF ENCOURAGING AND
THOUGHTFUL CONVERSATIONS AND
WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO
CONTINUING TO REFINE THIS BILL-
BEYOND THIS HEARING I'M HERE
TODAY TODAY TO PRESENT A BILL
THAT WILL CREATE PIPELINES THE
QUALITY JOBS UPWARD MOBILITY AND
INCOME SECURITY FOR THOSE
EXITING INCARCERATION IN
ENTERING THE SCHOOL PIPELINE IN
A COMMUNICATIVE STRIX. THIS BILL
AB TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE THE
HIGHER UP FROM CORRECTION TO
CAREER STATEMENT PILOT PROGRAM
IS INNOVATIVE. ACCORDING TO THE
BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE
UNEMPLOYMENT IS THE SINGLE MOST
IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF
RECIDIVISM. DECIMATED THAT ONE
IN THREE ADULTS HAVE A CRIMINAL
RECORD IN UP 275% OF THOSE WITH
PAST JUSTICE SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT
ARE STILL UNEMPLOYED A YEAR
AFTER THE ACCIDENT CAR
SERRATION. MANY MORE UNDER
EMPLOYED EVEN IF THEY FIND JOBS
. ALMOST 67% UNEMPLOYED FIVE
YEARS AFTER EXITING
INCARCERATION. CONSIDERING THE
RATES OF UNEMPLOYMENT IS
POPULATION IT'S UNSURPRISING
THAT THE TWENTY NINETEEN REPORT
BY CDC ARE FROM THE 28% OF
CALIFORNIANS ON HOUSE POPULATION
REPORT HAVING RECENTLY BEEN
RELEASED. FROM INCARCERATION.
THE BARRIERS TO EMPLOYMENT FOR
JUSTICE INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS ARE
MANY. IN ADDITION THE TO THE
LEGAL CONSTRAINTS TO PREVENT
SOME PEOPLE FROM ENTERING
CERTAIN PROFESSIONS. PEOPLE
COMING FROM THE CAR SERRATION
ALSO FACE A STIGMA HELD STILL BY
EMPLOYERS. AGGRESSIVE BACKGROUND
CHECKS. AND OFTEN LACK
MARKETABLE TRAINING AND SKILLS.
FOR PEOPLE BECAUSE THESE FACTORS
ARE COMPOUNDED BY RACIAL
DISCRIMINATION THAT ALREADY
PERVADES AND OUR LABOR MARKET.
HOWEVER THE COST OF CAREER
TRAINING PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO
PREVENT MANY FROM TAKING FULL
ADVANTAGE OF THESE RESOURCES WE
HAVE A NUMBER OF STUDENTS WERE
PREVIOUSLY INCARCERATED IN OUR
COMMUNICATIVE STRICT. THAT ARE
WORKING HARD TO SKILL UP TO
TRAIN UP AND TO FIND GAINFUL
EMPLOYMENT. BUT STILL AS YOU'RE
LEARNING THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE
SITTING THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH.
PROGRAMS TO PROVIDE A RELIABLE
FOR SOURCE OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT
. AND THE NEED FOR EFFECTIVE
REENTRY SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA
IS QUICKLY INCREASING. THE
HIGHER UP STARTED PROGRAM
PROPOSED IN THIS BILL MAYBE
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE WILL
PROVIDE A MEASURE OF FINANCIAL
STABILITY FOR JUSTICE INVOLVED
STUDENTS. WHO CAN DEDICATE THEIR
TIME TO EDUCATION AND CAREER
TRAINING WITHOUT SACRIFICING
THEIR BASIC NEEDS LIKE FOOD
HOUSING AND CHILDCARE. THE
HIGHER UPS TYPING WILL REIMBURSE
JUSTICE INVOLVES STUDENTS AT THE
RATE OF THE STATE MINIMUM WAGE
FOR EVERY HOUR THEY SPEND IN
CLASS TRAINING AND SKILLING UP.
AS A STIPULATION FOR RECEIVING
THE STAFF AND STUDENTS WILL BE
PARTICIPATING THE RISING
SCHOLARS NETWORKS AT THEIR
SCHOOL. THE RISING SCHOLARS
PROGRAM IS A DATA DRIVEN TESTED
APPROACH TO RE ENTRY IN THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES
GUIDED ACADEMIC PATHWAYS. FOR
PREVIOUSLY INCARCERATED STUDENTS
COUPLED WITH WRAPAROUND SERVICES
AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT.
ADDITIONALLY A LONG TERM
APPROACH. ROOTED IN CARE NOT
INCARCERATION AND REENTERED THE
REINTEGRATION. RE INTEGRATION
REDUCES RECIDIVISM INCREASES
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. BY LINKING
THE HIGHER UPS TYPE INTO
EXISTING REENTRY SUPPORT OF
SERVICES. THAT FOLLOW STUDENTS
THROUGHOUT THEIR EDUCATIONAL
JOURNEY AND INTO THE WORKFORCE.
THIS POTENTIAL STATEMENT HAS
THE- HAS THE POTENTIAL TO IMPACT
COUNTLESS STUDENTS ACROSS OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM OR
PREVIOUSLY INCARCERATED CAN ARE
LEAVING THE INCARCERATION
PIPELINE AND HEADED INTO THE
EDUCATION PIPELINE AND THEN INTO
OUR WORKFORCE PIPELINE. I'M
JOINED HERE TODAY AGAIN BY
CHANCELLOR FRANCISCO RODRIGUEZ

COLLEGE DISTRICT A SPONSOR OF
THIS BILL BUT ALSO GREG FIDEL
THE POLICY DIRECTOR. AT INITIATE
JUSTICE. THANK YOU THIS MEMBER

APPLICANTS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS
MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR JUSTICE

PREVENT MANY FROM TAKING FULL
ADVANTAGE OF EXISTING RESOURCES
AND PROGRAMS. THE LOS SANTOS
COMMITTEE COLLEGE DISTRICT
EARLIER ROLES ABOUT A THOUSAND

INCARCERATED STUDENTS BUT WE
SUSPECT THIS NUMBER TO BE MUCH
HIGHER. FORMERLY INCARCERATED
STUDENTS HAVE ADDITIONAL HURDLES
IN COMPLETING THEIR EDUCATION
STABLE EMPLOYMENT AND THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR UPWARD ECONOMIC
MOBILITY ARE KEYS TO
REHABILITATION AND TO REDUCING
RECIDIVISM. L. A. C. CITY HAS
ESTABLISHED SEVERAL INNOVATIVE
PROGRAMS FOR THIS POPULATION OF

SIX VERY PERSONAL BILL FOR ME
WHICH IS TABLETS IS THE INLAND
RISING FUND FOR THE SCHOOLS OF
MEDICINE AT UC RIVERSIDE AND UC
MERCED. CALIFORNIA AS WE ALL
KNOW IS THE FIFTH LARGEST
ECONOMY. BUT THESE ECONOMIC
BENEFITS ARE NOT SHARED BY ALL
REGIONS OF THE STATE AS 70% OF
JOB GROWTH HAS BEEN IN COASTAL
CITIES. THIS LACK OF EQUITY
BEGINS AT OUR SCHOOLS LAST YEAR
MY HOMETOWN NEWSPAPER THE PRESS
ENTERPRISE REPORTED THAT UC
RIVERSIDE RECEIVES THE LOWEST
AMOUNT OF PER STUDENT. ON A PER
STUDENT BASIS IN OF ANY OF THE
UC CAMPUSES. THIS IS COMPOUNDED
BY THE FACT THAT 62% OF THE UC
SYSTEM STATE FUNDING IS
ALLOCATED TO CAMPUS ON BASE TO A
STUDENT ENROLLMENT. HELLO NOT.
YOU SEE THAT AND READ THERE IS
SO MUCH MORE US TO ADDICT INVEST
IN OUR REGION TO TRULY REACH
CALIFORNIANS WITH MINISTER
ECKLEY UNDERSERVED FOR
GENERATIONS UC MERCED AND UC
RIVERSIDE ARE ANCHOR
INSTITUTIONS IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY AND IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
AND THEY ARE ON THE CUSP OF
BECOMING RESEARCH LEVEL ONE AND
ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA AMERICA.
INSTEAD AGENTS. TIMELY TRANSFER
INFORMATIONAL INVESTMENT IN UC
RIVERSIDE AND UC MERCED IS KEY
TO SPURRING ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY
SPECIFICALLY IN THE INLAND
EMPIRE AND IN THE JOAQUIN SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY. AB TWENTY FORTY
SIX THIS STAB WISHES THE INLAND
RISING FUNDS. ALLOCATING ONE
POINT FOUR SIX BILLION DOLLARS
ONE TIME AND ONGOING FUNDS TO
THE. TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY
TWENTY THREE STATE BUDGET AT UC
RIVERSIDE AND UC MERCED. THIS
INVESTMENT WOULD EXPAND CAMPUS
CAPACITY MORE RAPIDLY TO RESPOND
TO THE CRITICAL NEEDS OF THE
STATE AND LOCAL REGIONS
SPECIFICALLY BY ADDRESSING
EDUCATIONAL EQUITY. CLIMATE
CHANGE HEALTH CARE AND RESEARCH
THE INVESTMENT WILL RESULT IN
THE FIRST EIGHT B. U. AND ONLY
THE SECOND RESEARCH ONE
INSTITUTION IN THE INLAND VALLEY
REGIONS. BENEFITING UC'S MOST
DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATIONS
STRATEGICALLY ADVANCING THE
STATURE OF THESE TWO
UNIVERSITIES WILL ACCELERATE
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND INLAND
REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT. GIVEN
RECENT ENROLLMENT ISSUES AND
OTHER UC CAMPUSES SUCH AS UC
BERKELEY AND THE HISTORIC LACK
OF EQUITABLE INVESTMENT ACROSS
CAMPUSES IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE
BEGIN TO RECTIFY THESE PROBLEMS
THIS IS WHY I ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY FORTY SIX.

WERE INTRODUCED AND THAT THEY
ARE STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION WE

TO THE STATE AND LOCAL REGIONS
SPECIFICALLY UP BY ADDRESSING
EDUCATIONAL EQUITY. BOTH
CAMPUSES ARE ACTIVELY WORKING
WITH LOCAL EDUCATION PARTNERS TO

UNDERGRADUATES. I THINK IT'S TO
BE KNOWN THAT THE UC RIVERSIDE
AND UC MERCED OUR NUMBER ONE IT

HE INDICATED I. THE MERCHANTS IN
BOTH PREVAILING WAGE AND
ANYTHING THAT THAT. HELPS THE

IT COULD BE A WIN WIN SO WE WILL
WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THAT
DISCUSSION. THAT ADD TO THAT-
CERTAINLY IS CHAIR MEDINA SAYS
THERE ARE LARGER DISCUSSIONS
GOING ON- ABOVE THIS BILL BUT I
WILL SAY YOU KNOW WHEN WE DID
THE TWENTY TWENTY PROJECT UC
MERCED I WAS THE PRINCIPAL
ARCHITECT OF ENSURING THAT-
PREVAILING WAGE UNSKILLED TRÊN
LANGUAGE WAS PART OF THAT DEAL
AND I THINK BOTH STELLAR MEDINA
MYSELF HAVE A TRACK RECORD. OF
LANDING ON THAT SIDE OF THE
ISSUE AND I AM A 100% CONFIDENT
WILL LAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF
THIS PARTICULAR BILL. OKAY ANY
OTHER MEMBER. OKAY OF MISTER I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE FOR YOUR
IDEA TO STIMULATE THE YOU'RE-
FAVORITE AREA OF- IN EMPIRE I'M
AT THAT AREA HAS A CERTAIN THE
FOCAL POINT- END OF TRACTION
BECAUSE THIS OF MORE AVAILABLE
LAND OUT MORE FOR. AND THE NICE
THING OF THIS INITIATIVE- VERY
ATTRACTIVE AND NAME THE SUN
RISING CLASS. SO CERTAINLY THAT
THE ORIOLES- IN A BECOME THE
AREA WITH THE SUN RISING AND THE
ECONOMIC MORE VITALITY
DEVELOPMENTS IS SO I THINK I AM
IN SUPPORT OF THAT THE AND THEN
I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR ANY OF
CLOSING STATEMENT YOU WOULD LIKE
TO MAKE- ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF
GRACE GOING TO MAKE THAT THE
STATEMENT. WHAT BOTH OF YOU
EITHER ONE OF YOU IS A WEBER
GRILL. THANK YOU- CHAIRMAN. AND
MEMBERS. I'M PROUD TO BE HERE
TODAY SENATE SHOULDER SHOULDER
WITH CHAIR MEDINA DEMANDING
SIGNIFICANT AND MEANINGFUL
INVESTMENT IN UC MERCED UC
RIVERSIDE. THESE CAMPUSES
REPRESENTED A PARCHER FROM OUR
STATE'S TRACK RECORD OF IGNORING
INLAND COMMUNITIES AND DIRECTING
INVESTMENTS TOWARDS POPULATION
CENTERS ON THE COAST. THERE'S A
REASON THAT DESPITE BEING HOME
TO FOUR AND A HALF MILLION
PEOPLE. THERE WAS NOT A UC
CAMPUS IN THE VALLEY UNTIL YOU
SEE MERCED OPENED IN TWO
THOUSAND FIVE AFTER A TWO DECADE
FIGHT. YOU SEE MERCED IS NOT
RECEIVE THE SAME STATE SUPPORT
AS THE OTHER UC CAMPUSES IN
PART. BECAUSE OF THIS INLAND
BIAS BUT ALSO BECAUSE IT OPENED
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREAT
RECESSION. SO ALL OTHER CAMPUSES
WERE BUILT ALMOST ENTIRELY WITH
STATE MONEY. MUCH OF UC MERCED
WAS BUILT BE A PUBLIC PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CAMPUS
TAKING ON SIGNIFICANT DEBT. IN
ORDER TO EXPAND AND ROLL ENOUGH
STUDENTS TO BECOME SELF
SUFFICIENT. UNIQUE UNTO ITSELF
FROM OTHER CAMPUS IN THE SYSTEM
. DOES THE STATE SITS ON TENS OF
BILLIONS IN ON PRESIDENT
SURPLUSES WE HAVE NOT DONE
ANYTHING TO RIGHT THIS WRONG TO
REDUCE THE BURDEN ON THE
STUDENTS WHO ATTEND UC MERCED.
AND LET'S JUST TAKE A LOOK AT
THE STUDENTS FOR A MOMENT. UC
MERCED WAS BUILT WITH THE
PROMISE OF BRING IT UC
EDUCATIONS TO STUDENTS WHO
TRADITIONALLY WERE EXCLUDED FROM
THE SYSTEM. UC MERCED IS THE
MOST ETHNICALLY AND CULTURALLY
DIVERSE CAMPUS IN THE UC SYSTEM
. AS A MAJORITY MINORITY CAMPUS
MORE THAN 70% OF STUDENTS ARE
THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILY TO GO
TO COLLEGE AND A MAJORITY OF
STUDENTS SPEAK A LANGUAGE OTHER
THAN ENGLISH AT HOME. YOU SEE
MERCED IS ALSO ENROLLED THE
HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS IN THE UC
SYSTEM IN THE CAMPUS HAS BEEN
DESIGNATED BOTH AS A HISPANIC
SERVING INSTITUTION. AND IS AN
ASIAN AND NATIVE AMERICAN
PACIFIC ISLANDER SERVING
INSTITUTION. YOU SEE MERCED IS
DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT AND
DELIVERING ON THE PROMISE OF
EQUAL REPRESENTATION THAT MANY
OF US PREACH IN THIS BUILDING
AND IN OUR DISTRICTS EVERY
SINGLE DAY. BUT THEY ARE DOING
THIS DESPITE BEING FORCED TO
OVERCOME BIAS AND UNDER
INVESTMENT FROM OTHER PARTS OF
THE UC IN THE STATE. LET'S TALK
ABOUT WHAT THAT BIAS LOOKS LIKE
FOR ME. THE ALEJO'S DISCUSSION
OF THE UC BUDGET THIS YEAR
MENTIONS UC MERCED RIVERSIDE UC
MERCED AND UC RIVERSIDE ONLY
ONCE BY NOTING THAT THEY'RE THE
ONLY REFERRAL CAMPUSES IN THE UC
SYSTEM. MEANING THERE WERE THE
REFER STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT
ACCEPTED TO THEIR CAMPUS OF
CHORES. THE L. A- THEN SUGGESTS
AS A REMEDY GIVEN THE OTHER
CAMPUSES MORE MONEY TO REDUCE
REFERRALS BUT MAKES NO MENTION
OF THE FACT THE UC MERCED HAS
THE SMALLEST BUDGET OF ANY OTHER
CAMPUS OR THAT. RIVER SIDE OF
THE SERVING THE MOST DIVERSE
STUDENT BODIES IN THE SYSTEM.
THIS IS THE DEFINITION. OF
REWARDING THE HAVES WHILE
IGNORING THE HAVE NOTS. BUDGET
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE GOVERNOR
AND YOU SEE IT FOCUSED ON
EXPANDING ENROLLMENT IN ROLLING
MORE CALIFORNIA STUDENTS AND
INCREASING STUDENT OUTCOMES AND
EQUITY. THE BUDGET PROPOSES TO
REWARD YOU SEE FOR TAKING STEPS
TO MEET THESE GOALS WHILE
SUGGESTING BUDGET CUTS IF THE UC
FAILS TO ACT. YOU SEE MERCED AND
RIVERSIDE ARE ALREADY DELIVERING
ON THESE GOALS. BUT WHERE'S
THEIR EXTRA MONEY. WHERE IS THE
REWARD AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
FORGETTING RIGHT WHAT IS WRONG
IT'S SO MANY OF THE OTHER
CAMPUSES. THAT'S WHAT AB TWENTY
FORTY SIX IS ABOUT GIVE THESE
CAMPUSES THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES
THEY NEED. TO DO MORE BY
INCREASING ENROLLMENT OF
UNDERSERVED CALIFORNIA STUDENTS.
INCREASE REGION SPECIFIC
RESEARCH IN AGRICULTURE CLEAN
AIR WATER CLIMATE CHANGE AND
MAKE MAJOR ADVANCEMENTS IN
HEALTHCARE BY ADVANCING MEDICAL
EDUCATION. AND RESEARCH THAT
ADDRESSES BOTH REGION'S
DISTINCTIVE HEALTH CHALLENGES.
RIGHT NOW THE UC IS ON TRACK TO
ENROLL JUST ONE SIX THE NUMBER
OF NEW STUDENTS CALLED FOR IN
THE BUDGET. GIVEN THE RIGHT
RESOURCES UC MERCED RIVERSIDE
COULDN'T ROLL FAR MORE THAN THE
SIXTY TWO HUNDRED NEW STUDENTS
THAT THE BUDGET CALLS FOR. AND
WE WOULD NOT NEED SPECIAL SECRET
LEGISLATION FAST TRACK TO THE
LEGISLATURE TO DO. FINALLY I
WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADDRESS SOME
CONCERNS I'VE HEARD ABOUT
DIRECT. DIRECTING SPECIFIC
FUNDED INDIVIDUAL UC CAMPUSES
OUTSIDE OF THE GENERAL BUDGET
ALLOCATION. THE REALITY IS THAT
THE CURRENT UC CAMPUS FUNDING IS
INCREDIBLY REGRESSIVE. THE OLDER
RICHER AND MORE STAFFERS CABS
CAMPUSES RECEIVE THE LION'S
SHARE OF THE UC'S FORTY FOUR
BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET. STATE
FUNDS BUILT THOSE ACADEMIC
MEDICAL CENTERS WHICH ARE HUGELY
PROFITABLE FOR THE- BUT THOSE
ARE. STAY AT THEIR RESPECTIVE
CAMPUSES INSTEAD OF BEING SPREAD
TO LIFT ALL BOATS. STATE FUNDING
ALSO MADE FEDERAL CONTRACTS
COPYRIGHT RESEARCH IN SPORTS
REVENUE POSSIBLE BUT AGAIN ALL
THAT REVENUE STATUS AT THE
RESPECTIVE. AB TWENTY FORTY SO
TEXAS TOWARDS A THIS IN THAT. BY
DIRECT SPECIAL INVESTMENT TOWARD
TWO OF THEM UNDER CAMPUS AND YOU
SEE SO. IN TWO OF THE MOST UNDER
REGION IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. SO AND- JUST SAY
THIS IS OUR PER OUR MONEY WHERE
OUR MOUTH IS. WE'VE LAID OUT
VALUE WE WANT FOR THE UC SYSTEM
HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A
HISTORIC INVESTMENT AT A TIME
THAT WE HAVE BILLIONS TO INVEST.
AND MAKE A REAL DIFFERENCE FOR
THESE REGIONS FOR OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE FOR CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU
AND I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU ASSEMBLYMAN
. AND FOR THAT IS SO LONG-
CLOSING STATEMENT I HAVE HEARD.
ALL RIGHT- SINCE WE DON'T HAVE
ANY YET THE ORDERS JUST- WAIT
UNTIL QUORUM IS MADE THAT VOTE
ON THIS. AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
MANY IS ON THE WAY. HEY THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER FONG FOR HIS
PATIENCE AND WE WILL MOVE THEN.

INTENSE. INTERNET REQUIREMENTS
THE LEGISLATURE HAS TAKEN
MEANINGFUL STEPS TO TOWARDS
CLOSING THE GAP ON INTERNET
ACCESSIBILITY FURTHER THESE
STEPS HAVE INCLUDED INVESTMENTS
IN BROADBAND FOR STUDENTS. AND
WITHIN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
THESE INVESTMENTS SHOULD INCLUDE
EXPANDING BROADBAND SERVICES FOR
CALIFORNIA'S DREAMERS. COOLEY

ANGELES AREA THREE DIRECTLY GO
SERVICES EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY
EMPOWERMENT. FOR SEVERAL MONTHS
MY COLLEAGUES AND I HAVE WORKED
WITH WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY CONDUCTING RESEARCH
ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA DREAM LOAN
PROGRAM THE DREAM LOAN PROGRAM
IS AN EXCELLENT PROGRAM THAT
ASSISTS STUDENTS IN FINANCING
THEIR EDUCATION IT IS THE ONLY
STATE LOAN PROGRAM THAT THE
LEGISLATURE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.
THROUGH OUR RESEARCH WE HAVE
FOUND THAT THE CURRENT PROGRAM
ONLY ALLOWS FOR DISCHARGING
FORBEARANCE BUT THERE ARE STILL
SOME PROVISIONS THAT DON'T
COMPLETE THE FEDERAL LOAN
PROGRAMS SUCH AS FALSE
CERTIFICATION- FILING FOR
BANKRUPTCY. THERE ARE CURRENTLY
NO ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF
PROTECTIONS IN PLACE SUCH AS
EMERGENCY RELIEF DURING NATURAL
DISASTERS. ALTHOUGH THE SYSTEM
GRANTED TEMPORARY FORBEARANCE
DURING THE COVER NINETEEN
PANDEMIC. IT WASN'T CLEAR TO
MANY STUDENTS WHETHER THEY'RE
ELIGIBLE FOR FORBEARANCE OVER OR
WHETHER THEY HAD TO PROVIDE
PAYMENT DURING THE PANDEMIC. WE
WORRY ABOUT OTHER FORMS OF
NATURAL DISASTERS SUCH AS THE
CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES THAT OFTEN
DISPLAYS AND PUT PEOPLE AND
UNSTABLE FINANCIAL SITUATIONS.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE PROTECTIONS ARE IN
STATUTE FOR ANY STATE OF
EMERGENCIES. WE ALSO FOUND THAT
THE PROBE. HE LOAN FORGIVENESS
PROGRAMS CURRENTLY SET FORTH IN
THE FEDERAL PROGRAM SUCH AS THE
PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN FORGIVENESS
. THE TEACHER LOAN FORGIVENESS
AND OTHER LOAN FORGIVENESS
PROGRAMS TO THOSE PURSUING A
CAREER IN THE HEALTHCARE
INDUSTRY. TODAY DREAMLAND BARS
CONTINUE TO FACE REPAYMENT
DESPITE REYES TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES. PUBLIC SERVICE ARE
ENTERING A DEMANDING FIELD. THE
FEDERAL STUDENT LOAN PROGRAM HAS
INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE LIKE ME TO
FOLLOW THE FEEL THE PUBLIC
INTEREST KNOWING THAT ONE DAY I
WILL ACT I WILL HAVE ACCESS TO A
PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN PROGRAM. THE
STATE OF KEPT THE STATE BAR OF
CALIFORNIA HAS GRANTED
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS WITH
LICENSES TO PRACTICE IN THE
STATE. I ASK MYSELF WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ME AND
UNDOCUMENTED BORROWER THOSE
PROVIDING SERVICES TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES DESERVE ACCESS TO
THESE LONG. IT THE INTENT OF
PLEASURE TO CREATE INEQUITY
AMONG STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS AND
IT IS KNOWN THAT UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS FACE GREATER
DIFFICULTIES IN FINANCING THEIR
EDUCATION. AB TWENTY OH FOUR

THE CSU DISPARITY IN PARENTAL
LEAVE CONTINUES TO SET THE U. S.
APART FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.
DAVICH LANE FOR COUNTRIES WITH
NATIONAL PAID PARENTAL LEAVE IS
TWENTY NINE WEEKS. THE CSE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO MEET THIS
BASIC STANDARD. ONE SIMPLE BUT
SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT THANK SURE
THAT WE RETAIN WOMEN OF COLOR ON
FACULTY IS TO COMMIT TO A
SEMESTER TO TERM PARENTAL LEAVE.
A MINIMUM WOULD BENEFIT STUDENTS
IN MANY WAYS AND FACULTY ARE
PROVIDED A SEMESTER OFF. THEY'RE
LESS LIKELY TINKERING WITH
SCHEDULES AND PRESSURE ON
FACULTY TO FIND OTHER TO TAKE

THIS IMPORTANT LEGISLATION AND
I'D LIKE TO THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER
GARCIA FOR BEING ITS AUTHOR SOME
PEOPLE MIGHT BE ASKING WHY DO WE
NEED THIS BILL MY NETWORK TO
EXPAND PARENTAL LEAVE THROUGH
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING INSTEAD.
HOWEVER IT'S IMPORTANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT ADEQUATE PAID
PARENTAL LEAVE SHOULD NOT JUST
BE A PERK OR BENEFIT THAT COMES
WITH THE NECKLACE AND THEY'RE
THIS IS A PUBLIC POLICY ISSUE
THIS IS AN EQUAL RIGHT IT. THE
NEW FAIRNESS AND INCLUDE. WE
KNOW FROM DATA ACROSS THE NATION
INCLUDING HEARING. THAT AN
ADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR WORKING
PARENTS INCLUDING A LACK OF PAID
PARENTAL LEAVE. IS A DRIVING
FORCE AND WOMEN LEAVING THE
WORKPLACE. WE ALSO KNOW THAT
INADEQUATE SUPPORT FOR PARENTS
HAS A LONG TERM DISPARITY IMPACT
ON WORKING MOTHERS RELATED TO
THEIR PAY. PROMOTION AND XIN.
MICHAEL T. IN THE SEAT WE OFTEN
CALL THE QUOTE MOMMY TAX. BUT IN
REALITY IT'S SYSTEMIC INEQUALITY
AND IT REFLECTS THE LONG HISTORY
OF SEXISM IN OUR SOCIETY THAT
PENALIZES WOMEN SPECIFICALLY AND
PROFESSIONALLY WHEN THEY GIVE
BIRTH OR ADOPT A CHILD. THANK
YOU HE'S RELATED I DON'T NINE IT
IS CRITICAL AND NOT LEAVE
PARENTAL LEAVE HAS SUCH WAITING
PATIENCE FOR THE- INCLUSION OF
WOMEN IN THE CSU. TO THE HANDS
OF AN EMPLOYER WHO HAS PROVEN
REPEATEDLY THAT THEY ARE NOT UP
TO THE TASK. WE'RE STILL THEIR
ACTIONS DEMONSTRATE A LACK OF
CARE AND A LACK OF SERIOUSNESS.
I CAN'T FIRST BADLY. ANCES AT
THE- TABLE WITH. NOT ONLY WERE
THEY DISINTERESTED IN WORKING
WITH US EARNESTLY ON PARENTAL
LEAVE THEY REFUSE TO DEVELOP A
SINGLE COUNTER PROPOSAL ON THE
ISSUE WE PROPOSE DURING
BARGAINING FOR MORE THAN A YEAR
AND A HALF. WHEN PRESSED TO
JUSTIFY THE REFUSAL TO AND WITH
US IN GOOD FAITH ON THIS ISSUE.
THEIR CHIEF NEGOTIATOR BASICALLY
SAID QUOTE WE ARE IN THE HABIT
OF PAYING PEOPLE NOT TO WORK.
THE FRAME PARENTAL LEAVE LIKE
THAT IS AN OUTRAGE BUT
THANKFULLY THE LEGISLATURE HAS
THE POWER TO MODEL THE KIND OF
MORAL LEADERSHIP MISSING IN THE
CSU. THIS GOES TO THE HEART OF
WHO WE ARE AS A STATE AND THE
VALUES WE ESPOUSE AROUND JUSTICE
AND FAIRNESS. AND THE
LEGISLATURE CANNOT THROUGH THIS
BILL FORCE A CULTURE SHIFT IN
THE CSU AND HOW IT VIEWS AND
TREATS WHAT. PARENTS THE
MAJORITY OF WHICH ARE WOMEN. I

DIDN'T TAKE ANY TIME OFF
AFTERWARD AND AT THAT POINT MY
DOCTOR SUGGESTED I MIGHT NEED TO
TAKE MEDICAL LEAVE OR EVEN LOOK
FOR A NEW JOB IF I WANTED TO
HAVE A BABY. I CONTINUE THE
TREATMENT THAT FIVE MONTHS LATER
AFTER THE COPA DOCTOR WAS ABLE
TO SUSTAIN A PREGNANCY. I'M SURE
THIS IS PARTIALLY BECAUSE I
DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH A LONG
COMMUTE AND IT QUITE AS MUCH
BURKE STRESSED. I WAS REALLY
STRESSED OUT THOUGH BECAUSE
THERE'S NO WAY I COULD TAKE THE
SEMESTER OFF WITHOUT HAVING TO
GO WITHOUT PAY. THANKFULLY
ANDERSON. IN THE SUMMER TWENTY
TWENTY DIDN'T REQUIRE ANY
MEDICAL INTERVENTION.
UNFORTUNATELY THE TIMING OF THE
BIRTH WAS SUCH THAT I WASN'T
ABLE TO USE PAID SICK LEAVE TO
COVER THE REMAINDER SPRING
SEMESTER. THERE ARE ALSO MAJOR
CHALLENGES HER FAMILY WENT TO
AMBER SUPPORT. OR OCT UPTAKE AND
A LOT OF TROUBLE WATCHING DURING
BREAST FEEDING. AMBER STOPPED A
TON OF WEIGHT WHICH LEFT ME IN A
PANIC ABOUT THEIR WEIGHT
THEREAFTER. MY PARTNER HAD TO
RETURN TO WORK A WEEK AFTER I
GAVE BIRTH BECAUSE OTHERWISE YOU
WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD ME
TAKING OFFICE PART OF THE
SEMESTER. AND THAT LEFT ME ALONE
AT HOME AND STRUGGLING WITH
FEEDING OUR NEWBORN BECAUSE I
COULDN'T PRODUCE ENOUGH BREAST.
SO THAT. THE DOCTOR TOLD. ME
THAT IF I TO BRING MARC. I NEED
TO READ MY- GET MORE SLEEP AND
ALSO. TO POP AROUND THE- TO
TALK. A. FOR THREE MONTHS WERE
AFTER THE HER TIME OF MY ENTIRE
LIFE. I WAS DEPRESSED. ISOLATED
AND- EXTR ECONOMIC HARDSHIP I
WHICH PLAYED BY RACING THOUGHTS
ABOUT HOW WE CAN MAKE AND
SPEECH. I WAS NEVER ABLE TO
PRODUCE ENOUGH MILK BUT IF I'D
BEEN PROVIDED ADEQUATE PAID
LEAVE THIS MIGHT HAVE MADE IT
LESS STRESSFUL TIME FOR OUR
FAMILY. I DON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE
TO THE FIFTH YOU'D HAVE TO MAKE

DR WEBER. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR-
PRESENTING THIS BILL I AM. VERY
DISAPPOINTED TO HEAR THAT THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING PROCESS
THAT DID NOT WORK THAT YOU WERE
NOT. BEEN UNDERSTANDING CASSIDY
OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THE EFFORT. YOU KNOW
IN MY OTHER ROLE AS AN OBGYN AND
THE ISSUE OF- PAID PARENTAL
LEAVE AND HOW MUCH TIME. WILL
GET A CHANCE TO OUR MOTHER EARTH
CHANCE TO BOND WITH THEIR CHILD
AFTER BIRTH A SOMETHING THAT I
WITH. AN M. AND ON A PERSONAL
SOMEONE WHO. WENT TO WORK WEEK.
AFTER BOTH OF MY SECTION FROM
MY- I. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT A
SYSTEMIC THREAT OUR COUNTRY. AND
OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T DO THIS TO
THEIR TO THEIR NEWLY PARENTS SO
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FOR IT AND I
LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING. ANY
OTHER. QUESTIONS I ACTUALLY
HAVE- QUESTIONS- TO DR WEBER. I
ACTUALLY HAVE RIGHT NOW- THE
STAFF MEMBER WHOSE- EXPECTING
SOON AND- SHE SHE WAS ACTUALLY
WITH TO. BE CONSULTED WITH MY-
THE HR MANAGER ABOUT JUST THIS
QUESTION RIGHT AND SO AND I WAS
SPEAKING WITH MY WIFE YESTERDAY
ABOUT THE VERY. AND THE WIFE
TRIED. A POINTED OUT TO THAT IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IT SEEMS
RIGHT THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF.
THERE THERE ARE DIFFERENT
POLICIES. RIGHT AT THE STATE
EMPLOYEES HAVE CERTAIN. A
PARENTAL LEAVE. AND THEN OUR OWN
EMPLOYEES- HAVE DIFFERENT RIGHT
BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT AS SUCH
STATE EMPLOYEES THEY ARE
EMPLOYEES OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY
AND SO THEN AND I'M- PRETTY MUCH
WANTED TO MAKE THIS INTO A
QUESTION BECAUSE- MY TWO
CHILDREN WERE IN QUITE A WHILE
AGO. FOURTEEN THIRTY SEVEN YEARS
AGO AND I DO REMEMBER- IN- MY
WIFEHAVING TIME- SO IT IS
UNEVEN THEN IS I THINK THE POINT
THAT I'M MAKING RIGHT IT IS
UNEVEN IT IS NOT- IT'S NOT THE
SAME. UP FROM ONE. THE STATE TO
THE STATE ASSEMBLY IS DIFFERENT-
HOW WELL HOW WELL HOW WOULD YOU
ADDRESS THAT VERY SUBJECT WHY
WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY DIFFERENT
OF POLICIES IT THROUGHOUT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA WAY WHY
DON'T WE HAVE SOMETHING MORE
EVEN. I THINK WE DON'T VALUE.
PERRANCE ATHLETICALLY OFTENTIMES
THAT FEMALE PARENTS SINCE THE
BURDEN HAS BEEN PUT ON THEM BUT
THIS IS REALLY NOW IT'S MOVED
INTO TWENTY TWENTY ABOUT BOTH OF
OUR PAST. IMPORTANCE OF BOTH
PARENTS HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY
TO BOND WITH MY CHILDREN I'M
SURE THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO ADDRESS COLLECTIVELY
FOR THE WHOLE AND HAVE MADE SOME
STRIDES OVER THE YEARS THAT WE
HAVE BEEN HERE BUT NOT ENOUGH-
WE HAVE A NEW BILL. THAT IS
BEING WORKED ON UP THERE AS WELL
TO CONTINUE TO MAKE BUT I THINK
IT'S FINING. RESPECT TO HONOR
THESE PARENTS THE WAY THAT AND-
A WE WERE JUST TALKING THE SAME
OFFICE. I'VE OF. A STAFF RACK A
CHILD AT LEAST EVERY YEAR THAT
I'VE BEEN HERE FOR TEN YEAR AND-
THIS PANDEMIC WITH EXCELLENT- IN
TEAM VERY. AND BUT YOU KNOW WITH
WITH THE TIME HERE- HOW MUCH
THEY VALUE THAT TIME THAT THEY
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HOME AND FOR
THEM IT'S DIFFERENT LEVELS AND I
HAVE SUBMIT ENOUGH- THEY CAN
TELEPORT TO PAY TAKE THAT
ADDITIONAL ON PAID LEAVE THAT
THEY- WANTED TAKEN THEY'RE
HAVING TO MAKE CHOICES TO COME
BACK PROBABLY SOONER THAN THEIR
BABY OR THEIR BODIES WALK. OUT
THERE AND THAT'S STRUGGLE HOW DO
WE ACCOMMODATE AND SO- I THINK
WE MOVE IN INCREMENTS THAT TIME
TO ALWAYS TO KEEP- OF THE BIGGER
PICTURE WE HAVE THAT WORK ALSO
HAPPENING AND SO THIS IS ONE OF
THOSE INCREMENTS FOR A GROUP. OF
PROFESSIONALS ARE WELL WE'RE
ALSO DOING THAT ADDITIONAL WORK. TO THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS. I
WANTED TO RESPOND GO AHEAD YES-
MISSED. MAN ARE IT'S REALLY TO
BE HERE PERSON- SOCCER. LAW NOT
ONLY DISK. AGAINST WOMEN IT
TAKES IT DISCRIMINATES AGAINST
PARENTS AS THEY HAVE TO THIS
PLETE ALL THEIR SICK LEAVE JUST
TO BEAR CHILDREN AND GIVES BIRTH
AND- I. TAKE THE TIME THAT THEY
NEED TO BOND AND WHAT NOT AND
THERE IS THIS. STIGMA THAT
TEACHERS AND PROFESSORS- ONLY
WHAT NINE MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR
. YOU KNOW IF AND I HAVE THREE
YOUNG KIDS AND WE HAVE TO
SCHEDULE OUR PREGNANCIES AS AS
AS HE IS THAT HE'S A PROFESSOR
SO WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING IS
WE'RE GIVING BIRTH DURING THE
MONTH OF JUNE. AS NUMBER. SO
WE'RE SPENDING OUR TIME DURING
HER BREAK EITHER PLANNING OR
ATTENDING BIRTHDAY PARTIES LOTS
OF. IT IS REALLY UNFAIR THIS IS
A- THIS IS ABOUT DOING THE RIGHT
THING. HOW IT DID THIS IS A
SIGNIFICANT HOME. HARJIT THAT IS
. THAT IS AFFECTING NOT JUST OUR
PROFESSION BUT THROUGHOUT THE K.
TWELVE. THE ENTIRE SCHOOL SYSTEM
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES- IT'S ABOUT
DOING THE RIGHT THING- AND THAT
IS ALL. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO
GO NEXT TO THE ISSUE THAT CSU
RIGHT OUT OF THE FACT THAT THIS
WAS A BARGAINING. ISSUE- AND
THAT THE BILL AND THEN-
CIRCUMVENTS THE BARGAINING-
PROCESS. THE CONDUCTOR AND I. N.
AND I MAY GO TO CSU WHICH ALSO.
I THINK AS WE HEARD A PERFECT.
BUT WE'LL START HERE THEN I'LL
GO TO SEE A SHIFTING AS WE HEARD
FROM OUR WITNESS. THE ATTITUDE
DURING THE BARGAINING PROCESS
THAT NOT- GATHER GARNER SIX F.
INSPECTOR THEY CAME IN WITH AN
OPEN MIND AND IT'S MY OPINION
THAT WHILE WE RESPECT THAT IN
THERE WITH A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING. I HAS. NUMBER ON
THIS ISSUE THAT WE AS A
LEGISLATURE HAVE A DUTY TO
INTERVENE TO CORRECT INJUSTICES
ON THE PROCESS HAS FAILED THEM
ON AND SAID TO ME CLEARLY THIS
PROCESS S FAILING. GLACIER S.
U. V. LIKE TO RESPOND PLEASE DO

EMPLOYER THAT WE HAD LOOKED AT-
BUT IF THEY HAD BROUGHT FORWARD-

END THE UNIVERSITY. AND IF YOU

US UP FRONT WHEN WE'RE MAKING
CHOICES ABOUT. PAY CUTS AND
MISSING OUT ON ON INCOME BUT

ADDS UP IN AND OUT SO QUICKLY IN
A HAS LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES.

RESPECTFULLY FOR YOUR AYE WILL

THAT MOMMY TEXAS WON'T FIX OUR
PROBLEMS BUT A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. BUT THANK YOU MISTER.
FOR BRINGING THE BILL FORWARD. I
GAVE NO RECOMMENDATION ON THIS

EVERYTHING THE DOCTOR WEBER HAD
TO ADD- IT IS NOT VERY OFTEN
THAT I WANT TO INTERJECT. MYSELF

MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I WANT

ON THIS MEASURE AND- TO NOTE
THAT I HAVE ACCEPTED THE A
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
OUTLINED ON THE COMMITTEE AND
SUS. A. I. IN EIGHT TWENTY
NINETY THREE FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION THIS MEASURE WOULD
CREATE AN EDUCATIONAL LOAN
REPAYMENT PROGRAM FOR OUR
STATE'S FIRST RESPONDERS WHO
SERVE IN UNDER REPRESENTED
COMMUNITIES FOR FIVE YEARS.
DESPITE THE STATE'S EFFORTS TO
ATTRACT FIRST RESPONDERS TO
DISADVANTAGED AND UNDER
REPRESENTED AREAS THERE REMAINS
IN AN EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF
QUALIFIED STAFF. AND ACTION.
WATER SERVICES EXPRESSLY WITHIN
RURAL AND DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. FOR MANY FIRST
RESPONDERS. IT IS NOT
ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE OR
ADVANTAGEOUS TO WORK WITH AND
RURAL OR DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES PRIMARY THE DUE TO
THE UNLIMITED POTENTIAL AND
COVERINGS AND THE NEED TO REPAY
STUDENT LOANS. FIRSTERS ARE ALL
IN FACED WITH A DOCUMENT OF
EITHER WORKING IN THEIR LOCAL%
COMMUNITIES FOR A SIGNIFICANT
LOWER SALARY OR WORKING IN MORE
AFFLUENCE. REGIONS OR FOR
PRIVATE COMPANIES THAT OFFER A
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER SALARY THE
OUTCOME OF WHICH RESULTED IN
VAST EQUITY IN THE TERMS. MISTER
UP FIRST RESPONDERS.
X. IN ORDER TO COMBAT THESE
STAFF SHORTAGES AB TWENTY NINETY
THREE CREATES AN INCENTIVIZE
PROGRAM DEVELOPED UPON THE
PROVEN SUCCESS OF THE EXISTING
STEVEN REPAYMENT I'M WHICH- IN
TWO THOUSAND THREE. THIS PROGRAM
HAS DONE AN AMAZING I'M AND
BRINGING AND PHYSICIANS IN
MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS.
HOWEVER MORE IMPORTANTLY IT IS
HELP KEEP THEM FIRMLY ROOTED IN
THESE COMMUNITIES. IT'S HARD
ENOUGH FOR OUR ROADS AND
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES TO
ATTRACT QUALIFIED CANDIDATES LET
ALONE RETAIN THEM FOR YEARS ON
END. THOUGH THIS BILL. WE SEEK
TO PROVIDE OUR FIRST RESPONDERS
WHILE ALSO FOSTERING THE
RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE
COMMUNITIES THAT THEY SERVE.

THAT. NEW H. BACK SYSTEMS UP
23250% OF NEW H. FAX SYSTEMS IN
85% REPLACE SYSTEMS- LOOK. GREAT
30% LESS EFFICIENCY BECAUSE OF
THE FACT THAT THEY'RE NOT
PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND
CALIBRATED BY FOLKS WHO ARE
TRAINED TO PROPERLY CALIBRATE
UPS- BE THAT WERE BY THE- THIS.
IS FISHES ARE ALSO FOR. THAT 20%
OF CALIFORNIA CLASSROOMS
AVERAGED NEARLY TWO THOUSAND
PARTS PER MILLION OF CARBON

CHOI. YEAH THANK YOU CHAIR
ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF MCCARTHY I
THINK I UNDERSTAND DO YOUR
INTENT THIS UP TO MAKE SURE THAT
THAT AIR QUALITY IN SCHOOL LAST
I'M SO. BUT THAT THERE IS A AS
WITH THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
. COOL SO OFTEN AS A SHERMAN IS-
RAISING THE QUESTION WHICH I AM
ALSO CONCERNED- THAT IS- WHAT
YOU'RE A RECENT THINGS- ARE FOR
MAKING PRIVATE THE ELEMENTARY
AND SECONDARY. SCHOOL BOARDS TO
SUBJECT TO A COMPLIANCE SO WITH
THIS IS A PROVISIONS- NO MATTER
HOW GREAT YES C. A. CALL. BUT IF
PLEASE EXACTING PROFIT THE IS.
SO OFTEN HEIAU EDUCATION. RIGHT
THE DECISION YEAH EXISTENCE. YES
THANK YOU WE- WELL YOUR OVERALL
QUESTION I THINK IS RELATED TO
ALL PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND THE
EXCEPT READ OUR UNIVERSITY
COLLEGES- IN THAT LAST TWO. THIS
ARGUMENT WELL WELL THERE QUALITY
IN THAT WORST DAY IN THE WORLD
TWO YEARS AGO JUST AS BAD FOR
YOU KNOW THEY MICHAEL WAS IT WAS
TO NOT GO CROSS. OTHER SCHOOL IN
THE SAME BLOCK. CAN WE DO IT ALL
. RELATED TO THE PUBLIC WELL
WELFARE RELAY TO OUR SCHOOL SO I
THOUGHT THAT IT WASN'T
APPROPRIATE TO TWO DIFFERENT
SHAPE HOWEVER I THINK FOR THE OF
THIS YEAR CITY THAT THE DRUG
ISSUE FOR MANY. WHERE A DRESSING
THAT RELATE TO. BECAUSE OF THE
CIVIC CENTER HERE. IF I JUST
MIGHT ADD. ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
CURRENTLY TITLE EIGHT THAT HAS
CURRENTLY REQUIREMENTS REGARDING
VENTILATION SYSTEMS AN H. BACK
AND HOW OFTEN THEY NEED TO BE
INSPECTED. APPLIES TO ALL.
SCHOOLS BOTH PRIVATE AND PUBLIC
SILVERY WERE INCREASING THE
STANDARD IT JUST IT JUST MADE
SENSE TO CONTINUE AND APPLY THAT
STANDARD AS IT DOES TO. TO ALL
SCHOOLS. AND MY SECOND QUESTION
IS- YOU WILL BE A LOT HOW ARE
YOUR STANDARD DAHLE. A
DIFFERENCE WILL BE UP BETWEEN TO
MY TO MY UNDERSTANDING. LOCAL.
AUTHORITY SELECTED CITIES AND
COUNTIES THEY DO HAVE- BUILDING-
SPECS AND- REQUIREMENTS. AND
JUST LIKE THE MAINTAINING
ELEVATORS. AND SO- YOUR BILL IS-
TRYING TO MAKE UP A SOMETHING
THAT IS NOT THE COVER THE BY NOT
LOCAL LAW. AUTHORITIES STANDARDS
. YES IT'S A MEMBERS SO THE-
TITLE LATE IS A STATE WIDE
STANDARD IT'S THE LOCALS DON'T
HAVE SEPARATE STANDARDS
REGARDING THE- TITLE EIGHT. THE
PROBLEM WITH LATE IN REFERENCE
TO VENTILATION STANDARDS IS IT A
RIG IT REQUIRES THEM TO BE
INSPECTED.
DO YOU FEAR WITH THOSE ONCE THE
YEAR INSPECTIONS BUT FOLLOW WHAT
IS THE NATIONAL STANDARD THE
ASHTRAY DANDER. IT THAT AT LEAST
ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS YOU NEED A
MORE IN DEPTH INSPECTION. THAT
IS MORE DETAILED- AND DID THAT
IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT NOW THAT
WE LIVE IN THE AIR OF COVE IT
AND OBVIOUSLY WHEN TITLE. IT IS
CURRENT FORM WAS ADOPTED IT WAS
EASY YOU KNOW YEARS BEFORE WE
HAD A COVERT PANDEMIC. SO THIS
BILL APPOINTED BY ITSELF WHAT
THOUGHT MORE. OF ONE THE
INSPECTION ORDER FOR IN NUMBERS
. IT DOESN'T IN WE HAVE A
TECHNICAL EXPERT WHO CAN
DESCRIBE BUT THE ASH THE
NATIONAL ASH'ARI STANDARDS FOR A
FIVE YEAR INSPECTION WHICH IS A
MORE COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION
DELINEATES PRESCRIPTIVE. EXACTLY
WHAT YOU LOOKED AT HOW IT USED
TO BE TESTED AND WHAT THE
ACCEPTABLE LEVELS ARE. IN PLACE
TO STE. IF AFFECTED IS. GO OFF
OF THAT. YOU KNOW THE- CODES
THAT APPLIES TO YOU KNOW NEW
CONSTRUCTION AND- H. FAQ
INSTALLATION AND ACTIVATION
RATES IS TOTAL TWENTY FOUR THE
TOTAL TWENTY FOUR ONLY APPLIES
WHEN YOU TO NEW CONSTRUCTION
THEY DO MAJOR MODIFICATION
ALTERATIONS DOESN'T APPLY TO
EXISTING CLASS. INTO REHAB. THE
WORD PROP. REALLY IT'S TAKEN LOT
OF THE TITLE TWENTY FOUR
REQUIREMENTS BUT SAY FOR EXAMPLE
THE REQUIREMENT HAS FOR V. FIVE
YEARS REQUIRES YOU TO DO SOME
OTHER PREVENT ACCEPTANCE TESTING
ARE THAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN YOU
DO NEW CONSTRUCTION TO MAKE
TODAY TECHSYSTEMS WORK. WHEN IS
. BOB SO FORTH IN THE FORWARD
THIS IS NOW ARE YOU FIVE YEARS
YOU'RE GONNA REDO THAT BECAUSE
WE KNOW SOME YOU KNOW WITHIN
THREE YEARS MOST OF THE SYSTEMS
ARE WORKING CORRECTLY AND OUR
ARMED PROFICIENTLY AND PROVIDING
EVERYTHING ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS
WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY DO IT
RIGHT THEY COULD DO THIS EVERY
YEAR IF THEY WANT. SPECS BUT
WHERE. TO THE SCHOOLS OF THE
CURRENTLY IS- YOU KNOW THE
BETTER THING WOULD BE FOR THEM
TO DO IT EVERY YEAR BUT WE JUST
REQUIREMENTS EVERY FIVE YEARS.
OKAY YOU'RE A GENERAL ANSWER-
DESCRIBE SOME MORE GENERAL OR A-
QUALITY- IS INSPECTION READY-
THE H. BACK. BUT THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER OF A MCCARTY- DECLINE
EXAMPLE OF LIKE DURING THE
WILDFIRE- PERIOD DOES THAT THE
REGION LACK OF SACRAMENTO HAD
THE- WHAT DID YOU DESCRIBE IS
THE WORST- EQUALITY IN THE WORLD
TO DURING THAT PERIOD. WHEN I
WANT MY AGE FACT THAT ACTUALLY
CAN ELIMINATE THAT THAT CAN THAT
KIND OF BOOK A SMALL-
INFILTRATION- AND THE QUALITY OF
THAT THE WE ARE LOOKING FOR WHEN
EVERYTHING IS SO IMPACTED THAT
DOES SO REALLY AIRCONDITIONING
SCREEN NOT THAT OF A SMALL. YES
SIR ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF PRINCES
WHEN THE CARBON MONOXIDE
INDICATOR IN THE CLASSROOM OR IN
ANY BUILDING. INDICATES AN
UNSAFE LEVEL OF WITH WITH OVER
TWO THOUSAND PARTS PER MILLION
OF CO TWO. AT THAT POINT A
TRAINED TECHNICIAN CAN COME IN
AND IT JUST THE VENTILATION
SYSTEM REPLACE FILTERS TAKE
SEVERAL DIFFERENT- ACTIONS TO
ADJUST THE SYSTEM THE AIRFLOW SO
THAT THEY CAN THEN MITIGATE-
THAT HIGH LEVEL OF CARBON
MONOXIDE THAT'S THAT'S- WHAT
THIS. IF YOU HAVE. AND MANAGED
SYSTEM JUST LIKE IN THIS
BUILDING. AND REQUIREMENTS
PROVIDE FOR THAT YOU'RE GONNA
PUT IN THE HIGHEST FILTRATION
THAT'S POSSIBLE THAT SYSTEM CAN
HANDLE MARC THIRTEEN AND THAT
PROSTRATION IS WHAT PROTECTS YOU
FROM NOW THE SMOKE OUTSIDE HERE
OR FINING AND THEY GO BACK IN
SOME OF THE SCHOOLS. THE FILTERS
AND EVEN THEIR- ANNOUNCER THIS
AND MAKING SURE YOUR TEST AT.
CAN MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE THAT SO
WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPEN YOU
READY FOR. SO THIS KIND OF
UPGRADED- IS SYSTEM FOR THE
WELFARE OF OUR STUDENTS- BECAUSE
TO THIS OUR ADDRESS TO FOUR
SCHOOLS SO. IF WITH THIS PAST IS
SO ORDERED THAT THE NEXT STEP
WOULD BE ALL THE EVEN- A
RESIDENTIAL HOMES AS WELL
ALREADY REQUIRED ALREADY
EXISTING LAW ALREADY REQUIRES
FOR APARTMENT COMPLEXES OR
EIGHT. THE AS A LOT. TO STALL A
CO TWO MONITORS BUT YET WE DON'T
REQUIRE THAT OF OUR CLASSROOMS
TO PROTECT OUR TEACHERS AND OUR
STUDENTS. THAT'S A SOUL MORE OF
A- THE PUBLIC- LOOKED APARTMENTS
SAID THAT THAT THEY HAVE TO BE I
THAT I HAVE A SINGLE FAMILY HOME
RENTAL THAT WE'RE GETTING READY
TO RENTS RIGHT NOW AND TONIGHT
I'M GONNA BE THERE IT'S-
INSTALLING CO TWO MONITORS
BECAUSE IT REQUIRED UNDER
CALIFORNIA I IDEOLOGY IT ALONE-
SEO TOOL MONEY THERESA REQUIRED.
FOR EVERY OUT WHEN THE SO EVEN
EVEN ARGUMENT. SET. BUT NOW-
NORTH IS SO GOOD AND ADD THE- IN
ORDER. TO ROUTE TO MUCH ENEL.
INVASION INTO. IN ALL PRIVATE
LIFE IT'S AN ALL I'LL IF WHAT
YOU ADVOCATE. THEN I WOULD TAKE
CARE OF MYSELF ABOUT DAYS OF
PIED LAW REQUIRING AND- IF NOT
THEN THE WHAT KIND OF PENALTY
ARE YOU ASSESSING. MISS MCCARTY
YEAH- ITHINK THIS IS. THIS IS
REALLY ABOUT OUR PUBLIC GOOD
THIS IS ART IS THERE ARE THERE'S
OUR ASSETS ARE PUBLIC BUILDINGS
BUT ALSO THEIR ACT OUR ASSETS
ARE YOU OUR KIDS IN OUR
CLASSROOMS ARE COLLEGE STUDENTS
WE WANT THEM TO BE HEALTHY. AND
SUCCEED. BUT WE WANT TO KNOW IN
OUR CLASSROOMS IF THERE'S FAULTY
EQUIPMENT AND THEREFORE WE
SHOULD FIX ITBECAUSE THAT THE
LONGER YOU WAIT AS YOU KNOW- DID
HE TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME IN
OUR COMMITTEE WITH DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE. LONG YOU WAIT THE
MORE COST TO FIX IT SO THIS
DOESN'T MANDATE YOU GO UP BY ALL
INTO EQUIPMENT H. UP. LAST ROOMS
ON CAMPUS WE HAVE DEFIED THE
NEED X. Y. D. C. YOUR KNOWLEDGE
ABOUT WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND
BY DOING SO HOPEFULLY YOU WOULD
DO THAT. AND YOU WOULD IMPROVE.
THE HEALTH DECISIONS FOR YOUR
STUDENTS AND THEN LASTLY. WE'RE
PUTTING MONEY LEFT AND RIGHT.
FOR INSTINCTIVE TO RETROFIT- ARE
HSE QUIT MANY CLASSROOMS ONE
BECAUSE- WE HAVE ONE TIME MONEY
WE HAD A BUNCH OF MONEY IN THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOING THIS IT
WAS A POOR FOR KOBE. AND TO.
STOP AND LOWER ENERGY BILLS SO
THE NEED MORE YOU DO THIS THE
LOWER YOUR ENERGY COSTS WHICH
ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS THE ON THE
STATEWIDE LEVEL RELATE TO
CLIMATE CHANGE AS WELL SO.
THERE'S MULTIPLE BENEFITS HERE.
YEAH MY AMONG MANY. MY LAST
QUESTION I'M GONNA ASK IS THAT
PUBLIC. SCHOOL REDUCE OUR PUBLIC
THE- OUR FUNDS SO WE SUPPORT
THEM SO ANYTHING INFECTIOUS OF
REPLACEMENT UP WHILE HIS FAXES
STEM CELL HOW. WILL YOU- BE
WILLING TO WHAT DOES YOUR BILL
HAVE ANY PLANS TO- PROVIDE AID
THE NECESSARY FUNDING FOR THE
PRIVATE SCHOOLS AS WELL. WHAT
WHAT JUST JUST YOU THAT WE ARE
CLARIFYING TECHNICAL FIX FOR
COLLEGES UNIVERSITIES PRIVATE
SCHOOL WILL NOT BE IN THIS BILL.
BUT FOR THE PRIVATE K. TWELVE
SCHOOLS THIS IS NOT THIS
COMMITTEES OF EDUCATION MAY TWO
WEEKS AGO. THAT WAS A PROTEST WE
WANT THEM AND WE SAID NO BECAUSE
WE THOUGHT THAT THE HEALTH OF
THOSE KIDS ARE PARAMOUNT
REGARDLESS OF. SCHOOL THERE CAN
BE LITTLE SAME BLOCK ACROSS THE
STREET AND WHAT IT IS YOU KNOW
YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON THE TOTALITY
OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR ASKING.
REPAIR THAT'S THAT'S NOT IN THIS
BILL TODAY- FACTORS MAKE ONE
CLARIFICATION IS THAT THIS BILL
DOESN'T MANDATE UPGRADES OF
SYSTEMS IT IS AN INSPECTION
REQUIREMENT AND A CO TWO
MONITORING REQUIREMENT- IT'S
THIRTY REQUIRED ACTIVE HERE TO
DO THE GOOD JOB THEY WILL. IN
FACT WHICH MAY. FIVE YOU REALLY
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM

WHATEVER- MAY CHOOSE TO GO BACK

RONIN FOR TIME I'M SURE THEY MAY
HAVE A CERTAIN REASONS- US. TO
SET UP YOUR J. BUT THE FOR. THE
VET AND THAT DATA. BUT I WONDER
WHETHER. WE SURE- SPEND NOW WILL
PUBLIC MONEY THAT CAN BE USED TO
. FOR OUR STUDENTS SO WHO HAVE-
NO DEGREE S. AND LIKE I SAID A
WHILE AGO- IS SELL COLLEGE
EDUCATION IS A VERY IMPORTANT
THIS YEAR'S DEVELOPMENT THE WIDE
JOB APPLICATION WITH US ARE. IN
A DOOR OPENING IN MANY CASES- SO
. WHY BENEFITING SOMEBODY
ALREADY IN ON HAVE A HAS A
COLLEGE DEGREE L. I DON'T KNOW
WHETHER THIS IS TOO LATE TO A
MAN DO APPEAR BUT- I'M I'M I'M
MORE INCLINED TO SPEND IF FOR
THAT IS SO I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY
PEOPLE WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THAT THE AND THE COST OF COLLEGE
AT THAT MONEY BUT THAT THAT
MONEY SHOULD USED. IN A- SO.
DON'T A IN ALL COLLEGES. AND WE
ARE ENCOURAGING THE STUDENTS TO
GO TO COLLEGE AND THAT FINISH
THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION SO. IT
DEFEATS- MY A BASIC STUFF IN A
SUPPORTER OF A COLLEGE EDUCATION
IS A NOT FOR THOSE WHO ALREADY
HAVE GONE THROUGH. YOU KNOW
MAYBE I CAN GO BACK TECA NON
FUNGIBLE COST CLASSES SOURCE
DURING DANCE OR WHATEVER RIGHT
M. AND THE NOBODY WILL ASK WHY
YOU KNOW I'M TRYING TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF BUT THAT IS SET UP
I AS- THE.
IF YOU WOULD ALLOW ME BECAUSE- I
SHARE THAT CONCERN AND I JUST
WANT EXPRESS IT. BEFORE YOU
CLOSE UP BY A I AGREE WITH DR
CHOI. AND I'M VOTING FOR TODAY-
I THINK YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT
THING BUT I WOULD ALSO.
ENCOURAGE YOU TO AMEND THE BILL
SO THAT. INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE A
DEGREE OR CERTIFICATE OR
CERTIFICATE WOULD NOT BE
ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THE PROMISE
PROGRAM FEE WAIVER- PROBABLY FOR
THE SAME REASONS SO THAT'S MY-
SUGGESTION. TO YOU IS THE AUTHOR
. MY APPRECIATE THAT I'VE TAKEN
WHAT WHAT'S BEFORE US YOU AND I
CAN CONTINUE TALK THIS I'M NOT
TAKING ANY AMENDMENTS NO I'M NOT
I'M NOT AGREED TO RIGHT AND- YOU
KNOW WE JUST HAD A PHILOSOPHICAL
DIFFERENCE- MISTER CHOI- IT
HYPOTHETICALLY. SPEAKING IF
THERE WAS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER
IN YOUR DISTRICT- WHOSE BUSINESS
HAD CLOSED DOWN AND WANTED TO
COME BACK UP FOR AN EDUCATION SO
I CAN GO DO SO. I WOULD. PERSON
IN YOUR- USURPER COMMUNITY
COLLEGE- SO I WANTED TO BE
INCLUSIVE BECAUSE CAREER PEOPLE
TO MAKE CAREER CHANGES-
INDUSTRIES CHANGE- WE WENT FROM
A JUST EVEN A I DON'T THINK ANY
INDUSTRY THAT. PEOPLE HAVE TO
LEARN NEW SKILLS TECHNOLOGY
CHANGES WE WOULD WANT THAT
PERSON IN YOUR DISTRICT TO HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET A FREE
EDUCATION LIKE ANYONE ELSE SO
THAT THEY CAN IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF WHAT THEIR SKILL WE
JUST WENT THROUGH AND DEMI MOORE
MANY BUSINESSES WORK. A SMALL
CONCERN HOW DID THE- SHUT DOWN
WE WOULD WANT THAT PERSON YOUR
DISTRICT TO HAVE A AND HOW THAT. THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE. DONE IN
THAT PARTICULAR. YEAH YEAH
PARTIALLY I UNDERSTAND- YOU
EXPLANATION NOT THE YEAR THE
QUESTION IS THAT THE- EVEN
STUDENTS AT TAKING LESS THAN
TWELVE- CREDIT UNION CREDIT
UNITS. CAN BE CONSIDERED AS A
FULL TIME. IF THE STUDENT IS IN
A SPECIAL CATEGORY SUCH AS THAT
THIS DISABLED PEOPLE ONLY WANT
ANYONE THROUGH APPLICATION- AND
THE WHAT WOULD BE THE MINIMUM.
HELLO IS THERE ARE NO MINIMUM
EVEN THREE CREDIT HOURS SO THE
BASED UPON APPLICATION CAN BE
CLASSIFIED OF FOUR TIED. UP THE
FIRST WHAT HAD TO BE FULL TIME
FOR YOUR FIRST EXAMPLE IN YOUR
EARLIER QUESTION WHETHER
SOMEBODY'S TAKING MISTER
RECREATIONAL THAT WOULD QUALIFY
ON THE BILL IT WOULD HAVE TO BE
A FULL TIME STUDENT AND SECOND
THE SPECIAL KIND OF THE WORLD
FOR INTO WHICH WE HAD INCLUDE IN
. THEIR BIG THE BURDEN. BOB THE
FIRST TIMES WE DO THE FOR TIME
WE DID IT- WE'RE ABOUT WITH
DISABILITIES WHO DESERVE TO
HAVE. A FREE EDUCATION BECAUSE
THE COLLEGE MIGHT. DEEM THAT
THAT PERSON AT ONE UNIT- IS
CONSIDERED FULL TIME OR THREE
UNITS IN THE CAN THE CAMPUS
MAKES THOSE DECISIONS SO WE ONE
ONE EXCLUDE SOMEBODY WHO'S
WORKING VERY HARD. TRYING VERY
HARD. VERY HARD- TO LIMIT THEIR-
POSSIBLY GETTING A FREE A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE EDUCATION-
BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE SOME
DISABILITIES THAT PREVENT THEM
FROM GETTING TWELVE UNITS. SO
COULD BE ONE UNIT THREE UNITS IN
THAT WOULD DEPEND ON- CAMPUS
CRITERIA. SO YES WE MIGHT KNOW
WHY WHY NOW REMOVED. TWELVE
UNITS WHICH TIME FREEZE. MORE
INCLUSIVE. I'M SORRY WILK MISTER
CHAIRMAN ASK WHAT THE QUESTION
WAS FOR CLARIFICATION HAS. AT
EIGHT TEN OVER THERE SAYS THAT
IT. GENERALLY- YOU REQUIRE FULL
TIME STUDENT SO WITH A TWO OUT
OF THE UNIT SO ONE MORE BUT THE
YOU WOULD MAKE A EXCEPTION NO
MATTER WHAT THE CREDIT UNION SO
WOULD BE CELL TWO FOUR. APPROACH
TO MAKE IT MORE INCLUSIVE- IF
YOU. ELIMINATE THAT THE FOUR
TIME REQUIREMENT THE THAT IT'D
BE MORE INCLUSIVE. MR ALL I'D
LOVE TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT OF IT
MAKING FREE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
THE EVERY STUDENT WHO GOES IN
THE DOOR HEY LET'S SIGN UP LET'S
GO TO FIGHT FOR IT BUT I WOULD
LOVE FOR YOU TO DO THAT BUT- AB
HAS A- TO NINETY. OF THE- FULL
TIME. STUDENT BUT A BUT- BUT I'D
BE HAPPY TO. THE REASON WE DID
THAT WAS BECAUSE- THESE ARE THE
MONIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE
TABLE TO DO THAT. AND WE THOUGHT
THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN- GET DONE- BUT A PERFECT
WORLD- EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT LIKE
TO MAKE A FULL TIME I MEAN- FREE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR EVERYBODY
WHO ATTENDS OF BECOMING. A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE HI A RESPECT

UPDATES. AB TWENTY EIGHT TEN
WILL REQUIRE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY AND CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES TO
NOTIFY STUDENTS WHO ARE
FINANCIALLY ELIGIBLE FOR
CALFRESH BENEFITS AND ADVISE
THEM ON HOW TO APPLY FOR THE
PROGRAM. IT ENCOURAGES UC'S AND
INDEPENDENT HIGHER EDUCATION
CAMPUSES TO DO THE SAME. AMONG
CALIFORNIA COLLEGE STUDENTS IT
IS ESTIMATED THAT BETWEEN FOUR
HUNDRED THOUSAND AND SEVEN
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR CALFRESH CURRENTLY
ONLY A HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN
THOUSAND STUDENTS RECEIVE
BENEFITS THROUGH HELL FOR. A
SURVEY OF COLLEGE STUDENTS AND
TWENTY TWENTY REVEALED THAT
SEVEN IN TEN STUDENTS HAD LOST
SOME OR ALL OF THEIR INCOME.
THESE HURDLES ARE CAUSING
STUDENTS TO DROP OUT OF COLLEGE
IN PART BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT
AWARE OF THE PROGRAMS TO HELP
THEM IN THEIR TIMES OF NEED.
CAMPUSES KNOW WHICH STUDENTS
MEET BASIC FINANCIAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR CALFRESH
THROUGH THE FASTER DATA. AB
TWENTY EIGHT TEN ALLOWS CAMPUSES
TO REACH OUT TO THOSE STUDENTS
WITH A SIMPLE EMAIL THE EMAIL
WILL ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO
CONNECT WITH THEIR CALL WITH
THEIR CAMPUSES LOCAL COUNTY
AGENCY WITH CAMP. BYE FOR CAP
FRESH THIS CONTACT WILL
ADDITIONALLY HELP TO OPEN DOORS
FOR OTHER SUPPORT OF SERVICES OF
WHICH STUDENTS MIGHT NOT BE
AWARE. MOST IMPORTANTLY THE GOAL
OF AB TWENTY EIGHT TO TEN IS TO
KEEP PEOPLE ENROLLED IN COLLEGE
FOOD SECURITY IS A CRUCIAL
ASPECT OF ACHIEVING THIS GOAL. I

HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS HAVE
TOLD US DIRECTLY- I AM. DATA THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION THAT THE
ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF THE PANDEMIC
HAVE ONLY COMPOUNDED THIS
CHALLENGE AND WHILE LAST YEAR'S
STATE BUDGET MAY DAY AT THE
HISTORIC EXPANSION OF CALTRAIN
ELIGIBILITY AS CHAIR MEDINA
NOTED THERE ARE STILL BARRIERS
KEEPING OUT STUDENTS FROM THE
CAL GRANT PARK I'M- NOT
CONNECTED IN ANY WAY TO THE-
INITIAL. BILITY TO. BYRON
PATIENT. LEGISLATION WOULD
REMOVE THOSE FINAL BARRIERS AND
WILL ALLOW CALIFORNIA TO BEST
LEVERAGE OUR NEW INVESTMENT
FINANCIAL AID. AB SEVENTY FORTY
SIX STREAMLINED THE CAL GRANT
SYSTEM BY ESTABLISHING THE CAL
GRANT YOU AND THE CAL GRANT FOR
THAT WILL MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS
OF STUDENTS AT OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND ARE FOR YOUR
PETITIONS RESPECT. THIS WILL
ASSIST EASIER FOR STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO
ARE FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE
GOERS TO UNDERSTAND AND TO PLAN
AROUND. IF ENACTED THIS
LEGISLATION WOULD MAKE. OVER ONE
FIFTY AND- ELIGIBLE STUDENTS
JUST IN THE FIRST YEAR OF
APPLICATIONS UNDER THIS PROGRAM
INCLUDING FORTY FOUR THOUSAND
STUDENT PARENTS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY EXCLUDED FROM THE
CALGARY PROGRAM AND FRANCISCUS
HERE TO SHARE MORE ABOUT THAT
EXPERIENCE. ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID
COMMISSION WE THANK ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS MEDINA ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MCCARTY FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP ON
THIS BECAUSE AS WELL AS THE
COOPER SENATOR CONNIE LEYVA AND
WE ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS
LEGISLATION THANK YOU. WITNESSES
GOOD AFTERNOON ASSEMBLY. MY NAME
IS FRANCISCO RUBIO I AM A
STUDENT I REALLY COLLEGE I AM
HERE AS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENT ADVOCATE FOR REFORM OF
THE- CAL GRANT SAYS THEM AS A
SINGLE MOTHER OF THREE AGES
NINETEEN ELEVEN AND EIGHT BY-
THIS IS A MILITARY- GOING TO
SCHOOL HAS BEEN. VERY DIFFICULT
APPLYING FOR CAL GRANT HAS BEEN
A STRUGGLE TO THE LACK OF
INFORMATION UNNECESSARY BARRIERS
AND INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. OVER THE
PAST SIX SEMESTERS AND MY
PURSUING MY ASSOCIATES DEGREE I
HAVE ONLY RECEIVED A GRANT IN
TWO OF THOSE SEMESTERS. WHAT
TIME THEY I ONLY RECEIVE GRANTS
C. INSTEAD OF A SINGLE PARENT
AND DEPENDENT CHILDREN. GRANT
WHICH LOW. MADE IT HARDER. MY
FAMILY WHY GOING TO SCHOOL I
LIVE IN A SMALL ARC FARMING TOWN
ORANGE COLD MOST PEOPLE IN MY
TOWN ARE MIGRANT WORKERS OR
WORKING IN PACKING HOUSES THE
MEDIAN LEVEL OF INCOME PER
CAPITA ACCORDING TO THE CENSUS
IS JUST OVER TEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR WHICH IS VERY
UNSUSTAINABLE GOING TO COLLEGE
STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL WAS
NOT AN OPTION FOR ME I NEEDED
THE MONEY TO SUPPORT MY NINE
WHILE I WAS WHILE I. GRADUATED
HIGH SCHOOL THERE WAS A LACK OF
INFORMATION I'M JIM THAT
SURROUNDED FINANCIAL AID FOR
COLLEGE SO I DIDN'T KNOW THE
RESOURCES THAT WERE AVAILABLE TO
ME I ALSO DIDN'T KNOW ALL THE
BARRIERS THAT WOULD KEEP ME FROM
RECEIVING CAL GRANT AND DIDN'T
HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO
NAVIGATE THROUGH ITS CONFUSING.
APPLICATION PROCESS SO INSTEAD
OF GOING TO COLLEGE I DEVOTED
OVER TEN YEARS OF MY LIFE TO A
LOCAL PACKAGE AT. THERE WAS NO
OTHER SUPPORT I CAN LEAN ON. HAD
I KNOWN MORE ABOUT CAL GRANT OR
HAD HOPED TO NAVIGATE. THE
CONFUSING APPLICATION. I MAY
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO TO COLLEGE
RIGHT AWAY AND BE SETTLED IN MY
CAREER ALREADY NOW THAT I HAVE
RETURNED TO COLLEGE AS AN ADULT.
IT IS STILL IT'S STILL ISN'T
EASY CURRENCY DOES NOT DO ENOUGH
TO SUPPORT ME BUT IT HELPS I'VE
ONLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE ENDS MEET
BECAUSE I HAVE AN ON CAMPUS JOB.
RECEIVE CALL WORKS. HOW BROWN C.
AUG AND PROMISE GRANTS EVEN THIS
. FUND I'M STILL BELOW POVERTY
LINE AND STRUGGLE TO SUPPORT MY
CHILDREN ON JUST MY INCOME AND
GRANTS NUMEROUS TIMES I ALMOST
DROPPED OUT BECAUSE I FELT LIKE
I WASN'T RECEIVING ENOUGH
RESOURCES. YEAH I WANTED A
BETTER LIFE FOR MYSELF AND MY
CHILDREN SO I PERSEVERED. SO
MANY STUDENTS JUST LIKE ME ARE
NOT BEING SUPPORTED AND THAT IS
WHY IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE
REFORM CAL GRANT TO MAKE THE
DREAMS OF STUDENTS A SINGLE
PARENTS LIKE MYSELF COME TRUE.
THE PROCESS NEEDS BECOME MORE
SIMPLIFIED SO WE DON'T TURN
POTENTIAL STUDENTS AWAY WE NEED
TO INCREASE THE WARD TO ENSURE
THAT THE TRUE COST OF COLLEGE IS
BEING MET. I URGE YOU TO SUPPORT
AB SEVENTEEN FORTY SIX TO HELP
STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF PURSUER OF
DREAMS OF GOING TO COLLEGE THANK
