SUBCOMMITTEE. AND ASSEMBLY
MEMBER STONE IS RIGHT HERE SO
PLEASE COME UP WITH THANK YOU
FOR BEING HERE EARLY. AND.
PLEASE PRESENT YOUR BILL. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS
COMMITTEE AND THAT'S RESOURCES
WORKING ON FROM OF PLASTICS IN
THE ENVIRONMENT FORREALLY QUITE
SOME TIME THIS IS A B. SEVENTEEN
TWENTY FOUR AND WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO LOOK AT OR BETTER WAYS
THAT WE CAN START TO TAKE
MICROFIBRES OUT OF THE SYSTEM WE
KNOW THAT. WASHING MACHINES
DRYERS THAT THE PROCESS OF
CLEANING. CLOTHING BETTER MADE
FROM NON NATURAL FIBERS THAT
BREAKS DOWN AND WE GET
MICROFIBERS EVERYWHERE AND IT'S
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO LOOK AT IN THIS
BILL IS STATE OWNED WASHING
MACHINES BECAUSE WE THINK THAT
THERE ARE TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE
TO ATTACH FILTERS TO THOSE IN
BECAUSE THEY ARE WASHING
MACHINES ARE MANAGED BY
EMPLOYEES AND PROFESSIONALS WE
OBVIATE THE NEED. FOR THE MORE
OBVIOUS THE CONCERN FOR NOT
HAVING APPROPRIATE MAINTENANCE
ON THOSE FILTERS SO I THINK THIS
IS A- IMPORTANT STEP AS WE TRY
TO UNDERSTAND. THE ISSUE OF
MICROFIBERS HOW THEY GET OUT
INTO THE ENVIRONMENT GOING
THROUGH WASTE TREATMENT PLANTS
AND OUT THROUGH SOME OF THESE
PROCESSES AND THINK THIS BILL IF
WE CAN GET THIS ENACTED WOULD GO
A LONG WAY TO SHOWING HOW THESE
KINDS OF FILTERS DO WORK WOULD
WORK. WHAT THE MAINTENANCE
ISSUES AND THE OTHER ISSUES ARE
AROUND THEM SO THAT I ASK FOR
YOUR ITEMS AND WITH ME IS CODY
PHILLIPS OF THE CALIFORNIA COAST
KEEPER ALLIANCE I BELIEVE ON THE
TELEPHONE YEAH HE'S ON THE PHONE
LINE SO- AT&T OPERATOR- COULD
YOU PLEASE HAVE CODY PHILLIPS
SPEAK UP. CODY. YES YEP. THANK
YOU- GOOD AFTERNOON CHECK
WORKING AND THE REST OF THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
CODY PHILLIPS THE POLICY ANALYST
FOR CALIFORNIA CUT DEEPER
ALLIANCES SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF
AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY FOUR TODAY-
AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER STONE
DESCRIBED MICRO PLASTICS ARE
EVERYWHERE. MULTIPLE SCIENTIFIC
STUDIES HAVE OBSERVED THESE
PLASTIC PARTICLES IN GUT BIOTA
AIR WATER SEDIMENT AND MOST
RECENTLY IN HUMAN BLOOD. WERE
EVER SIGNED AS THE VOTE THEY
HAVE FOUND THESE MICROPLASTICS
AND MICROFIBERS ARE ONE OF THE
MOST COMMON FORMS OF
MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION REPORTED
PUBLIC. ONE WELL UNDERSTOOD
POLLUTION PATHWAY FOR
MICROFIBRES ESTHER WASTEWATER
FROM WASHING MACHINES- BECAUSE
MICROFIBERS OF THE PRODUCT OF A
VARIETY OF SYNTHETIC TEXTILES
EACH LOAD OF LAUNDRY CAN RELEASE
UP TO ONE POINT FIVE MILLION
MICROFIBRES INTO THE ECOSYSTEM.
AND BECAUSE THE SERVERS ARE SO
SMALL MOST WASTEWATER TREATMENT
FACILITIES DO NOT HAVE THE
ABILITY TO FILTER THEM OUT OF
WATER. AS A RESULT AN
EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF
MICROFIBERS PASTOR WASTEWATER
TREATMENT FACILITIES EACH YEAR
POLLUTING CALIFORNIA'S
WATERWAYS. AND ONCE THEY ARE IN
THE ENVIRONMENT MICROFIBERS
COMMITTEE TO A VARIETY OF
HARMFUL OUTCOMES. BALL THAT CAN
INGESTED MICROPLASTICS CUTTING
STARVATION AND REPRODUCTIVE
ISSUES. EVEN WORSE THAT THE
FARMERS DO NOT BIODEGRADE AND
THEY COMBINED WITH CHEMICAL
POLLUTANTS IN WATER- AND
BIOACCUMULATE UP THE FOOD LAB.
STUDIES HAVE BEEN INDICATED. THE
MICROFIBERS AND UP IN OUR
DRINKING WATER. SO CONTROL THIS
WILL UNDERSTOOD POWER. THE
REASON OCEAN BUT COUNT STATEWIDE
MICROPLASTIC REPORT RECOMMENDED
THAT THESE MICROFIBER FILTRATION
DEVICES ARE USED IN ALL OF
CALIFORNIA'S WASHING MACHINES.
THE FILTERS ARE READILY
AVAILABLE AND ON THE MARKET AND
CONSUMER SURVEYS INDICATE THAT
THEY ARE POPULAR. ON THIS BILL
IS A NO REGRETS ACTION THAT
WOULD CAPTURE MICROFIBERS BEFORE
THEY ENTER THE ENVIRONMENT AND-
FOR THAT REASON I URGE YOU TO
VOTE HI ON A. B. U. SEVENTEEN
TWENTY FOUR AND THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR CODY PHILLIPS-

AGO WHEN YOU FOR TWO YEARS AGO
ANYWAY. TWO YEARS AGO I'VE JUST
GOTTEN SMARTER SINCE- I BELIEVE
THAT. WITH IF WE HAVE GOOD
EXPERIENCE HERE- AND IF THE-
CLOTHES MANUFACTURERS AND THE-
CLOTHES WASHING FOLKS START TO
LOOK FOR SOLUTIONS. ARE THAT WE
CAN FIND THEM. I THINK THIS IS A
GOOD STEP TO FIND OUT WHAT IS
THERE. ARE THERE ARE MANY
POSSIBLE I KNOW I HAVE FRIENDS
ACTUALLY WORKING ON SOMETHING TO
MAKE. PLAST PUBLIC POLYSTYRENE
BIODEGRADABLE BY ADDING A
CHEMICAL COMPOUND. SO THERE ARE
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS AND WE DO
NEED THEM BECAUSE THIS PROBABLY
IS ENDING UP IN THE BIO SOLIDS
IN THE SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANTS
AND- HEY. WE AGAIN WE NEED TO DO
SOME MORE RESEARCH AND
UNDERSTAND THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS
A VERY IMPORTANT ONE BECAUSE
WE'RE SPREADING THOSE BIOSOLIDS
. ON THE- LANDSCAPE IN THE FARM
AREAS IN PARTICULAR AND FROM
THERE GOD KNOWS WHERE IT GOES.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO EAT ANY- SO
I RECOMMEND THAT I VOTE- WE
DON'T HAVE A QUORUM YET SO- BUT
I. WILL UP WILL VOTE LATER AND-
I THINK YOU'VE I THINK WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO GET THE BILL OUT
THANK. GOD. RIGHT MISTER
CALDERON. OKAY MISTER KALRA
PLEASE PRESENT YOUR BILL- ONE OF
MY FAVORITES- FLUORESCENT LAMPS
SALES AND DISTRIBUTION OF
PROHIBITION AND- EVEN BEFORE WE
START- I WANT TO SAY HOW MUCH I
APPRECIATE YOU BEEN WORKING WITH
ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS- THIS BILL
BANS MERCURY CONTAINING COMPACT
THE LINEAR FLUORESCENT BULBS- SO
PLEASE PRESENT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIR AT THE END
MEMBER. I'D LIKE TO. I LIKE I'D
LIKE TO THANK THE CHAIRMAN YOU
STOP FOR THEIR WORK AND GUIDANCE
ON THIS BILL AB TWENTY TO AWAIT
WOULD PHASE OUT THE SALE AND
DISTRIBUTION AS A NEW MENU FAST
FACTOR PRODUCT OF COMPACT
FLUORESCENT LAMPS AND LINEAR
FLUORESCENT LAMPS STARTING ON
JANUARY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
AND JANUARY FIRST. TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE RESPECTIVELY. HOWEVER
OTHERS BILL WOULD EXEMPT CERTAIN
SPECIALTY FLUORESCENT LAMPS
INCLUDING THOSE USED IN IMAGE
CAPTURE IMAGE PROJECTION AND
DISINFECTION. WHILE THE REST OF
MY AUNTS WERE ORIGINALLY
INTENDED AS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE
TO INCANDESCENT LAMPS THERE ARE
TWO KEY REASONS WHY THERE ARE
THERE ARE NO LONGER THE BEST
OPTION CALIFORNIA. FIRST OFF
FLUORESCENT LAMPS CONTAIN
MERCURY A POTENT TOXIN THAT CAN
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE THE
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IT'S A
FACTOR ESPECIALLY PRONOUNCED IN
CHILDREN. WITH FOREST LANDS ARE
BROKEN THEY RELEASED AMERICA BE
CONTAMINATING ONE ANYTHING IN
THE VICINITY. WHILE THE STATE
CATEGORIZE PRESS OF BOB'S AS
HAZARDOUS WASTE MOST RESIDENTS
ARE STILL DRAWN AWAY IN THE
REGULAR TRASH WITH THE OFTEN
BREAKING EXPOSES WORKERS. TO
DANGEROUS LEVELS OF MERCURY.
SECOND FLORESCENT ONES ARE NO
LONGER THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT
BULBS ON THE MARKET MOKRI FREE
LEDS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE
EFFICIENT THE FLUORESCENCE ONLY
REQUIRING ABOUT HALF ELECTRICITY
WHILE LASTING TWO TO THREE TIMES
LONGER. FURTHERMORE THE PRICE
ABILITIES IS DROPPING DISDAIN
EXPECTED TO BE COMPARABLE TO THE
COST OF PRESENTS. BY THE TIME
THE BILL TAKES EFFECT.
ADDITIONALLY THE MOVEMENT
TOWARDS- TOWARDS BANNING
FLUORESCENCE IS NOTHING NEW THE
STATE OF VERMONT CURRENTLY
PROHIBITS THE SALE COMPACT
FLUORESCENT LAMPS IN THE E. U.
IS PLAIN TO PAYS AT ALL GENERAL
PURPOSE. FLUORESCENT LAMPS NEXT
YEAR. AB TWENTY TWO OH EIGHT
WILL ELEVATE CALIFORNIA THE
LEVEL OF OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL
LEADERS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO
REMOVE TOXIC INEFFICIENT
FLUORESCENT BULBS FROM THEIR
LIGHT FIXTURES. BY USHERING UP
RUSSELL LANCE THIS BILL WILL
ALLOW BETTER ALTERNATIVES TO
LIGHT THE WAY TO A SAFER MORE
ENERGY EFFICIENT FUTURE. WOULD

PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN. HERE IN
CALIFORNIA DOZENS OF WATERWAYS
ARE ALREADY CAN SO CONTAMINATED
WITH MERCURY THAT THE STATE
WARNS CONSUMERS TO LIMIT THEIR
CONSUMPTION OF FISH CAUGHT FROM
THESE LAKES STREAMS AND
RESERVOIRS. THE MERCURY IN
FLUORESCENT LAMP IS CONTAINED

THAT CALIFORNIA BANNER FAILED TO
STOP ADDING COSTLY DANGEROUS AND
UNNECESSARY MERCURY IN THE HOMES
AND THE ENVIRONMENT. THE TIME IS
NOW FOR CALIFORNIA TO SAY
FAREWELL TO TOXIC FOR. I LIKE TO
THINK IT'S AN MEMBER. FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP RESPECTFUL ASK FOR
YOU TO FIGURE AYE VOTE ON EIGHTY
TWO ZERO EIGHT THANK YOU. SO MS
BROWN PLEASE HAVE BEEN ALREADY
PLEASE GO AHEAD. YES GOOD
AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
VICTORIA ROME WITH ENERGY C.
NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE
COUNCIL NICE TO SEE YOU ALL- AS
STATED MERCURY'S A CHEMICAL OF
SERIOUS CONCERN. AND IT'S YOU
SHOULD BE LIMITED WHENEVER AND
WHEREVER POSSIBLE. IN THE PAST
DESPITE THEIR MERCURY CONTENT
FLUORESCENT LAMPS WERE TOLERATED
EVEN PROMOTED BECAUSE THEY WERE
THE MOST ENERGY EFFICIENT OPTION
AT THE TIME ESPECIALLY COME WHEN
COMPARED TO INCANDESCENT BULBS.
BUT A LOT HAS CHANGED AND LEDS
NOW USE ABOUT HALF THE
ELECTRICITY IS FLUORESCENCE TO
PRODUCE THE SAME AMOUNT OF LIGHT
AND LAST TWO TO THREE TIMES
LONGER. THEY'RE ALSO WIDELY
AVAILABLE AND BECOMING MORE SO
ALL THE TIME. UNLIKE FLUORESCENT
LAMPS THEY DO NOT CONTAIN
MERCURY OR RELEASE TOXIC VAPORS
WHEN THEY BREAK. MAKING THE
SWITCH TO LEDS IS BETTER FOR OUR
HEALTH ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY
ALSO HELPS WITH ENERGY
EFFICIENCY AND SAVES CONSUMERS
APPROXIMATELY ONE BILLION EACH
YEAR IF WE ARE TO MAKE THE FULL
SWITCH- SAY SO AB TWENTY TWO OH
EIGHT WILL REDUCE THE BURDEN ON
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHICH ARE LEFT
WITH THE CHALLENGING AND COSTLY
TASK OF COLLECTING IMPROPERLY
DISPOSING OF MERCURY CONTAINING
FLUORESCENT LAMPS THE BILL WILL
ALSO BOOST SALES FOR THE MORE
THAN FIFTY MANUFACTURERS AND
DISTRIBUTORS OF LED LIGHTING
THAT ARE OPERATING THROUGHOUT
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. NOW IS
THE TIME TO PHASE OUT THE SALE
OF FLUORESCENT LAMPS THANK YOU

LAWSUIT AFTER. AND. THE REASON I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST. YOUR
SUPPORT I HOPE FOR A. TWENTY
FOUR.
A WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION- WE
BELIEVE THAT THE WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION ARE ON THE PHONE LINE
- SO FIRST OF ALL- VERY GRACIOUS
HOOLAHAN IF YOU SPEAK UP WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO HEAR YOU.
ON BEHALF OF PTSD AND SPEAKING
IN OPPOSITION AB TWENTY TWO
FOURTEEN. PTSD IS A NONPROFIT
STARTED IN TWO THOUSAND FOUR TO
ADDRESS THE SINGLE GREATEST
HURDLE THAT FACE URBAN CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND THAT SECURING
ADEQUATE FACILITIES. MY THIRTY
FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO THE
PUBLIC AND PRIVATE LAND
DEVELOPMENT AS A CIVIL ENGINEER
LAND SURVEYOR FORMER PUBLIC
WORKS DIRECTOR IN THE CURRENT
PLANNING COMMISSIONER. PROVIDE
ME A SECOND SIGNIFICANT
UNDERSTANDING OF THE LOCAL
ENTITLEMENT PROCESS AND AGENCIES
DOCKING IMPACTS RESULTING FROM
BURDENSOME PROCESSING
REQUIREMENTS PRIVATE CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE SUBJECT TO RIGOROUS
LOCAL AGENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR
ENTITLEMENT AND PERMITTING THAT
INCLUDES EQUAL AND REGULATORY
COMPLIANCE. PUBLIC REVIEW AND
COMMENT THE PROCESS RESULTS IN
FAVORITE COMPLIANT PROJECTS THAT
ADDRESS LOCAL COMMUNITY CONCERNS
AB TWENTY TWO FOURTEEN CHANGES
TO THIS PROCESS CONFLICT WITH
LOCAL MUNICIPAL CODES AND THAT
DUPLICATED STATE LEVEL PROJECT.
REVIEW SENATE REQUIREMENTS
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE PROJECT AND
TIME. MAKING IN OUR DIFFICULT
PROCESS CHILD AND OVER. LOCAL
AND AGENTS STAFF. IF ENACTED
THIS BILL WILL HAVE A VERY REAL
IMPACT FROM CURRENT P. CST
PROJECTS FOR EXAMPLE ARE BE
TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL. WHICH HAS
INITIATED AN ENTITLEMENT PROCESS
TO DEVELOP A PERMANENT HOME FOR
IT SCHOOL. SCHOOLS MOVED
LOCATIONS MORE THAN SEVEN TIMES
IN TWENTY ONE YEARS. THE STUDENT
POPULATION IS MORE THAN 89%
MINORITY UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY
AND THEIR GRADUATION RATE IS ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT. THE PROJECT
ENTITLEMENT INCLUDE SEQUIN VERY
MENTAL SUBSTANTIVE AND
SUCCESSFUL REDEVELOPMENT WILL
BRING THIS FACILITY BACK TO LIFE
BENEFITING THE COMMUNITY AS WELL
AS THE STUDENTS. AB TWENTY TWO
FOURTEENTH NEW REQUIREMENTS
EFFECTIVE JANUARY ONE WILL CAUSE
DELAY INCREASED COSTS MAKE THIS
PROJECT NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THIS
OPPORTUNITY PRESENT I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER QUESTIONS. THANK
YOU- NOW WE HAVE JOHN LANGER.
THEIR DEMANDS NAME PENTAGON INTO
TOWN. THANKS CHAIR MEMBERS- JOHN
LINGER I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION I THINK MITCHELL
AND- HIGHLIGHTED A LOT OF THE
EXISTING PROCESSES THAT WE GO
THROUGH ON THE ON THE LOCAL
LEVEL BUT WOULD LIKE TO JUST
MAKE. TWO QUICK POINTS- ON THE
BILL FIRST THERE CONTINUES TO BE
AN ASSERTION THAT THIS BILLS
SIMPLY BRINGS PARITY BETWEEN
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER
SCHOOLS BY- UP APPLYING THE SAME
REQUIREMENTS STATE REQUIREMENTS
TO THEM WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOL
CITING I WOULD SAY THAT'S A
LITTLE BIT MISLEADING
CONSIDERING THE LOCAL RIGOROUS
LOCAL REQUIREMENTS THAT WE HAVE
TO GO THROUGH. PLACING
ADDITIONAL STATE REQUIREMENTS ON
TOP OF THAT ACTUALLY CREATES
FURTHER INEQUITY- AND NOT PARITY
BETWEEN THE TWO- TYPES OF
SYSTEMS- ED THEY LOCAL OR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE ALSO YOU KNOW
EXEMPTS FROM ALL THOSE LOCAL-
REQUIREMENTS THAT WE ARE-
SUBJECT ALSO MAKE THAT POINT.
I'M AND THEN FINALLY- SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE ALSO GIVEN
ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR FACILITIES-
THEY HAVE ACCESS TO LOCAL AND
STATE FOR- BOND FUNDING CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE VERY VERY RARELY
EVER GIVEN THOSE FUNDING
OPPORTUNITIES AND WE PRIMARILY
HAVE TO FUND ARE PROJECTS OUT
OF- GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS ARE
UP OUR GENERAL OPERATING BUDGET
SORRY- AND SO ANYTHING THAT WE
HAVE TO SPEND. OUT OF OUR
GENERAL PRETTY BUDGET GETS TAKEN
OUT OF THE CLASSROOM AND SO I
THINK WE CONVERSATIONS GOING ON
FOR A COUPLE YEARS WE'VE BEEN
VERY CONSISTENT IN OUR POSITION
ON THIS IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE
STATE REQUIREMENTS ON CHARTER
SCHOOLS FOR OUR FACILITIES THEN
THERE NEEDS TO BE A OVERSIGHT.
FLEXIBILITY IT IS CONSISTENT
WITH WHAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS GET
AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT ADEQUATE
FUNDING FOR THOSE PROJECTS OR
ELSE WE'RE JUST GOING TO
CONTINUE TO HAVE CHARTER
SCHOOLS- FACE EXTREME
DIFFICULTIES IN DEVELOPING THAT
THEIR PROPERTIES AND SO FOR
THOSE REASONS WE ARE OPPOSED TO
THE- THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT IS
THERE ANYONE IN THE ROOM IN A
POSITION- NAME ORGANIZATION AND
POSITION YEAH YOU CAN SIT THERE
IN CASE OUR QUESTION A PROBLEM.
THERE BEING NO ONE IN THE ROOM
WELL NOW ASK COULD BE EIGHTEEN
T. OPERATOR. TO ASK THOSE IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION OF AB
TWENTY TWO FOURTEEN. TO GIVE US
THEIR NAME OUR ORGANIZATION IF
ANY AND THEIR POSITION ON AB.
TWENTY TWO FOURTEEN- EIGHTEEN T.
OPERATOR PLEASE GO AHEAD. THANK
YOU IF YOU'RE IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION OF AB TWENTY FOUR
FOURTEEN YOU MAY PRESS ONE THEN
ZERO. AGAIN THAT IS ONE AND THEN
ZERO IN SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION OF
AB. TWENTY FOUR FOURTEEN. AND
ONE MOMENT FOR OUR FIRST. WHEN
THEY WILL GO LINE EIGHTY SIX
YOUR LINE IS OPEN CORRECT. NINE
ONE EIGHTY SIX. YOUR LINE IS
OPEN. HI THIS IS A BACK ON FROM
BOSTON LINK AND WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT ITSELF. THANK YOU NEXT
WE'LL GO TO LINE ONE NINETY TWO
YOUR LINE IS OPEN PLEASE GO
AHEAD. YES MY NAME IS GEORGE
BRED THEM A PROPERTY OWNER IN
THE CITY OF CUTTING HAY AND I AM
IN SUPPORT OF AB TWO TO. FOUR.
THANK YOU. AGAIN THAT IS AND-
OPPOSITION. S. ONE AND THEN ZERO. MISTER CHAIR WE HAVE NO
FURTHER SUPPORTER OPPOSITION IN
KIEL. ALL RIGHT THANK YOU. ARM
LET'S SEE OUR QUESTIONS MISTER
MAHER CG THANK YOU I- APOLOGIZE
FOR. GETTING HERE A LATE AND SO
I MAY HAVE MISSED SOME TESTIMONY
BUT- THE QUESTION FOR THE BAY
AREA HEY KIM D. IF YOU HAVEN'T
ALREADY COVERED THIS ARM COULD
COULD YOU OF- GIVE EXAMPLES OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT- THAT HAVE
FOR A- HAVE THIS PROBLEM OF
DEALING WITH A HAZARDOUS WASTE
SITE TAKE I KNOW THAT THERE'S
ONE IN THE- SUMMER GARCIA'S
DISTRICT CUTTING A TO-
SPECIFICALLY IN. THE BAY AREA
VACANTE IS. BUT YES ASSEMBLY
MARTUCCI- SO OUR OUR ORIGINAL-
WHAT. WHAT BROUGHT ABOUT THIS-
THIS BILL PROPOSAL IN THE BAY
AREA WHAT WASN'T A CHARTER
SCHOOL WAS RESULT OF A PRIVATE
SCHOOL CITING AND IN THE STREETS
VERSION OF THIS IS A PRIVATE
SCHOOL- COMPANY WANTED TO EXPAND
THEIR PRIVATE SCHOOL NETWORK THE
PURCHASE TO INDUSTRIAL LAND.
FROM INDUSTRIAL FACILITY THAT
HAD A MET WITH THE AIR DISTRICT
IT HAD A- A CEMENT PLANT IT HAD-
ROB AND GRAVEL- OUTFIT IT HAD
DEL A LANDSCAPING BUSINESS- THIS
INDUSTRIAL FACILITY SOLD- LANDS
TO THE PRIVATE SCHOOL COMPANY-
THE- THE CITY. OF PLANNING TO.
THE CITY OF. I IN IN OUR
OPINION- ALLOWED THE THIS THE
SCHOOL SITE TO BE BUILT WITHOUT
WHAT WITHOUT REQUIRING ANY
CONTACT WITH THE AIR DISTRICT OR
D. T. S. C. THE SCHOOL WAS BUILT
AND PARENTS WERE THEN. ON THE
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL WHEN THEY
WERE CHILDREN AND SAW THE OF THE
SMOKESTACK FROM THE CEMENT PLANT
AND INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS THAT
WERE GOING ON BACKSTORY IN BRING
RIPS UP. YOUR THE PUBLIC STARTED
SHOWING UP AT THEIR TO MEETINGS
IN DOING RESEARCH BUT WE JUST.
TO OTHERS FIREMEN FOR FIRST
PUBLIC SCHOOL WHICH DO NOT A FOR
PRICE SCHOOL AND- CHOI SCHOOL.
RELATED TO AN OF BEING ATTEMPT
HE HAS THIS VISION YOUR RISK
GOING TO BE BUILT INSIDE. SO
THIS WILL COVER THAT THAT THAT
IF THIS. LAW THAT. HAPPENED YES
WE WOULD NEVER END AND THE
QUESTION FOR THE CHARTIST-
REPRESENTATIVE OF. IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT- SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAVE ZONING WAIVER
AUTHORITY WHEREAS- COURSE
CHARTER SCHOOLS DO NOT. HOW DOES
THAT- DOES THAT IN ANY WAY
AFFECT. CHARTERS NOPE
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
REQUIREMENT TO COMPLY WITH
SYKORA- REQUIREMENTS. I DON'T
THINK IT MATTERS IN A MINUTE
I'LL GO AHEAD MADE ME HAPPY GOOD
. I'M SORRY AGREED TO HAND SO-
WHEN A CHARTER SCHOOL GOES FOR
ENTITLEMENT YOU MUST GO THROUGH
AN ENTITLEMENT PROCESS WE DON'T
HAVE THE EXEMPTIONS THAT PUBLIC
SCHOOLS HAVE WHEN YOU GO TO THAT
ENTITLEMENT PROSTITUTES USUALLY
CONDITION USED HER OR SOMETHING
OF THAT IT MUST COMPLY WITH
EQUAL- WE- HAVE. MANY SIDE KERR
GOING THROUGH IT AND TO IT VERY
ROBUST PROCESS. IN IN ADDITION
TO. THAT PROCESS YOU ALSO GET
THE- A REQUIREMENT TO DEAL WITH
THE CONCERNS OF THE LOCAL AREA
WHICH HONESTLY PUBLIC SCHOOLS DO
NOT COMPLY WITH THAT- YEAH I
HAVE BEEN A FORMER PUBLIC WORKS
DIRECTOR AND BEEN INVOLVED IN
MANY MANY MANY. PROJECTS FROM
THAT SITE AND READ OF FROM THE
PUBLIC WORKS CAMPUS OF THIS
DOCUMENTS AND- IT'S ALWAYS A
CHALLENGE WHEN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS COME IN BECAUSE YOU DO.
GREAT EARLY YOU KNOW WHERE TO
LOOK AGENCY IN ENTIRETY ALMOST-
WHERE IS THE CHARTER SCHOOL IN
THE PRIVATE DON'T THAT YOU
ACTUALLY MUST COMPLY WITH ALL
THE ISSUES FOUND. AND IT'S
ERODING IS TO SAY THAT THEY
DON'T HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE
CLUB BECAUSE THEY DO. BUT I'M
GOING TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL
REPRESENTATIVE I MEAN THIS BILL
IS PROPOSING THAT CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS HAVE
TO COMPLY WITH THE STATE
REQUIREMENTS- I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING ABOUT HOW. CHARTER
SCHOOLS CAN GO OUT FOR BONDS BUT
IN TERMS OF ENSURING. THAT
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE LOCATED IN
SAFE LOCATIONS THE CHILDREN OF
EMPLOYEES ARE LOCATED IN SAFE
LOCATIONS I. RIGHT I'M HAVING A
HARD TIME SEEING WHY CHARTER
SCHOOLS WOULD NOT TO OR SHOULD
NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
SIXTEEN SAME STATE REQUIREMENTS
TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE IN
ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE. SIDES YEAH
I THINK IT'S JUST AN ISSUE OF-
ADDITIONAL PROCESSES TO GO
THROUGH- IF WE DIDN'T HAVE. THE
LOCAL PROCESSES THAT WE HAD TO
GO THROUGH SIMILAR TO THE WAY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO AND WE JUST
HAD A STATE. LEVEL REQUIREMENT
SIMILAR TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAN
IT BE A MUCH DIFFERENT
CONVERSATION BUT PLACING A STATE
REQUIREMENT IN A STATE PROCESS
ON TOP OF IN ADDITION A EXISTING
LOCAL PROCESS THAT TAKES QUITE A
LONG TIME AS WELL. JUST CREATES
FURTHER DELAYS AND- MORE TIME
AND MORE MORE MONEY AND SO WE
THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT STATE.
REQUIREMENT THEN IT SHOULD BE-
IN PARITY WITH WITH THE WAY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE TREATED. IN
THIS LOW. VETERANS PUBLIC
SCHOOLS SO HOW TO COMPLY WITH
THE- LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS. ALL THE ALL THE
FOR TO MARRY- GRACE BUT I DO NOT
BELIEVE THAT IS ACCURATE I THINK
THERE HAVE WHERE B- IT'S A REAL
CHALLENGE I'LL BE HONEST WITH
YOU- SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL
REGULARLY STATE THAT THEY DO NOT
HAVE TO SUBMIT TO OR COMPLY.
WITH LOCAL AGENCY AND THEY WILL.
NOT SUBMIT TO THE LOCAL AGENCY
FOR THE- AND THEY WILL IGNORE-
THE LIST PROCESS HE- IT HAPPENS
IT HAPPENS CONSTANTLY- THE
CHARTERS IN THE PRIVATE. IT'S
INTERESTING TO ME THAT THERE'S
THIS IDEA THAT YOU DON'T COMPLY
WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENTS
BECAUSE YOU DO- BOTH. PROJECTS
AT THE STATE LEVEL BUT IS THERE
A STATE- AT SCHOOL OR PRIVATE
CHARTER SCHOOL THEY START WITH
PREPARING TO FACE ONE AND THAT
GETS REVIEWED ENOUGH CAN
IDENTIFY YOUR FIRST INITIAL
ISSUES. AND THEN YOU GO ON IF
THE IF THERE ARE ISSUES
IDENTIFIED IN THAT PHASE ONE
WHICH IS CONSULTANT FOR PAIRED
ON BOTH SIDES. WHETHER IT'S
GOING TO DGSE OR WHETHER IT'S
GOING TO THE LOCAL AGENCY THE
BENEFIT IS IF IT'S GOING TO A
LOCAL AGENCY IT'S USUALLY HAS A
SCOPE OF WORK FOR THAT
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT. THAT
WAS REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY THE
LOCAL AGENCY AND ALTHOUGH THE
DEVELOPER WOULD PAY FOR IT THE
DEVELOPERS NOT OVERSEEN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THAT
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENT- THE
CONTROL OF THAT CONSULTANT BY
THE LOCAL AGENCY. LITTLE
DIFFERENT. WITH DTS- EIGHT.
PREPPER OF THAT DOC IS GONNA BE
BY. THE QUOTE UNQUOTE DEVELOPER
OR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEN
COMMITTED TO DGSE. BOTH WILL
REVIEW THAT CASE ONE IF THERE
ARE ISSUES THAT ARISE AND IT
GOES TO THE NEXT UP. IN THE
LOCAL AGENCY IF IT STARTS GOING
TO STEPS IN IDENTIFYING. OF
POLLUTANTS THAT ARE OVERSEEN BY
THE- COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
IN MANY H. AREAS. BECAUSE IT'S
BEEN HOSTILITY. BY. PORTABLE BTC
OR IT WILL GO D. T. WE CHARTERS
. THAT HOUSING WERE PROCESS
THROUGH THE LOCAL. I ITEMS CAME
UP AND THEY WERE REFERRED OVER
TO DGSE AND DTC OVERSAW THE
CLEANUP OF THE VERY S. THAT
PROCESS IS IN PLACE- SO IT'S
INTERESTING. THAT SOMEONE IS
IMPLYING THAT IT'S NOT OKAY SO
IN IT BOTTOM LINE ARE YOU SAYING
THAT. TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
HAVE TO COMPLY. HADN'T HAVE TO
COME WITH THE STATE REQUIREMENTS
BUT NOT WITH LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
WERE AS CHARTER SCHOOLS COMPLY
WITH LOCAL REQUIREMENTS. AS
CHARTER SCHOOL SHOULD GO IN MAY
DAY HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE
CHOIR WHICH IS STATE
REQUIREMENTS THEY HAVE TO COMPLY
WITH REGIONAL WATER QUALITY
CONTROL BOARD WHICH IS STATE
REQUIREMENTS. THEY HAVE TO ROUTE
COMPLY WITH ALL THE REGULATORY
REQUIREMENTS IN ADDITION THEY
HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THE LOCAL
AGENCY REQUIREMENTS AS WELL YOU
ALSO GET THE BENEFIT OF WHEN
THEY PROCESS THROUGH LOCAL
AGENCY. LOCAL AGENCY STAFF IS
AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT COME
ABOUT LOCAL AGENCY DEALS WITH
HOUSING PROJECTS AND WHAT HAVE
YOU AND FISCALLY. THEY'RE
DEALING WITH WITH THINGS READ
MORE SENSITIVE- BECAUSE YOU'RE
DEALING WITH TWENTY FOUR SEVEN
TO SILLY- SO. WHEN YOU GO
THROUGH A LOCAL AGENCY. HUMAX
HAVE. A MORE THOROUGH AND
ROBUST- REVIEW AND UNDERSTANDING
OF WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING IN
THAT COMMUNITY IN AND AROUND
THAT SITE OKAY THANK YOU WHEN
YOU BUY PAST THAT YOU'D KNOW IT.
I JUST WANTED IF I MAY LET ME
ASSURE HANNAH. GAS THE BAY AREA
AN AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT TO A- RESPONDED IN
CONTENTION THAT. SOMEHOW
CHARTERS AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS
ALREADY HAVE TO GO THROUGH A
RIGOROUS LOCAL REVIEW. I THINK-
I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THERE'S-
WHEN YOU LOOK AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND IN THE REQUIREMENTS AND SEE
WHAT THERE'S- THERE'S ONE THING
THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM
TRADITIONAL SEQUEL WHEN YOU'RE
DEALING WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN.
SO NORMALLY WHEN YOU DO SEE WHAT
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE EFFECTS OF
THE PROJECT ON THE ENVIRONMENT
BUT IN IN WHEN YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT PUBLIC SCHOOLS THERE IS
ALSO A- REQUIREMENT TO LOOK
OUTWARD. THE EFFECTS OF LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT ON THE PROPOSED
SCHOOL SITE INTO MY PUBLIC
SCHOOLS WHEN THEY GO THROUGH THE
SITING THEY HAVE TO LOOK AT.
WHERE TO. FIRST QUARTER THEY
HAVE TO LOOK AT- IN FOR ARE FOR
THAT EMIT TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS
YOU KNOW TO ASK THE TSC IF
THERE'S HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR
HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES NEARBY AND
THOSE REQUIREMENTS DON'T EXIST
IN A TRADITIONAL SEQUEL PROJECT
IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE BUILDING A-
AN APARTMENT COMPLEX OR OR AT
THE NEW FACILITY OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT AND SO THAT'S THAT'S
REALLY THE HEART OF WHAT THIS
BILL IS TRYING TO DO IS TO GET
THOSE CHARTER SCHOOLS AND PUBLIC
AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO TAKE THAT
OUTWARD LOOK JUST TO MAKE SURE
THAT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT
WITHIN A QUARTER MILE FOUR
THOUSAND FEET OR WHATEVER IT IS.
THAT YOU CAN IDENTIFY THOSE. HI
WE- IS A HAZARDOUS MATERIAL
SITES HAZARDOUS WASTE SITES- ERR
YOU KNOW TOXIC- EMISSION SITES
IN USE THAT IN YOUR DECISION
MAKING AND AT LEAST. YOU KNOW
GIVE GIVE YOURSELVES AND THE
PUBLIC THE- THE KNOWLEDGE OF
WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO WHEN
YOU BUILD THAT SO THAT SITE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANYONE ELSE
MISTER VICE CHAIR REJECTED.
COMMENTS I GUESS NOT TOO MANY
QUESTIONS BUT WHEN YOU. TAKE A
SCHOOL SITE FOR THE STATE I GOT
TO GO THROUGH ALL THE
ENVIRONMENTAL SOLVE ISSUES. AND
CHARTER SCHOOL OR PUBLIC SCHOOL
THEY GOT TO DO THE STATE ISSUES
AND IT'S BEEN MISSION AND THE
LOCAL ISSUES THE GIVE PUBLIC
COMMENT TIME TO GO THROUGH
THERE. IT I DON'T SEE IT APPLES
FOR APPLES I SEE IT AS A MORSE
RESTRAINTS ON CHARTER SCHOOLS.
SO THEY DO NOT BUILD. OR EXPAND.
AND I THINK THAT'S AN HINDRANCE
TO THE PUBLIC THAT NEEDS
FILLING. UP MISTER TO. THANK I'M
WELL WHAT YOU ARE THAT YOU'RE
CLOSE- I'M GOING MAKE COM FOR OF
ALL WE HAVE IS OF SCHOOLS RIGHT
NOW AND THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE
REQUIRED TO FIND FACILITIES SO
YOU KNOW THERE AREN'T THAT MANY
CHARTER SCHOOLS BEING BUILT
MOSTLY THEY'RE GOING INTO OLDER-
FACILITIES- SECOND. YOU KNOW I
DO SEE SOME DIFFICULTY WITH
HAVING BOTH THE STATE AND THE
LOCAL I ALSO SEE THAT DESPITE
WHAT THE WITNESSES SAID THAT
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN MISTAKES
ARE MADE BY LOCAL. I THE LOCALS
BECAUSE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT
NOW- SO I SEE SOME I SEE SOME
JUSTICE IN YOUR ARGUMENT AND I'D
SUGGEST PERHAPS THE AUTHOR COULD
FIND A WAY OF TO HAVE ONE OR THE
OTHER AGENCIES BE THE PRIMARY
AND MAKE SURE THAT. THESE
QUESTIONS OF THE EFFECT OF THE
END ALL OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON
THE SCHOOL GET LOOKED AT I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER THAT'S POSSIBLE.
AND IT'S UP TO YOU AND YOU CAN
ADD TO THAT OR NOT IN YOUR
CLOSE. BUT- I'M FINE WITH THE
BILL AS IT IS. IF THERE'S A WAY
YOU CAN MAKE IT LESS BURDENSOME
THAT'S FINE BUT- YOU KNOW WE
CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE MISTAKES
LIKE WERE MADE WITH THE PRIVATE
SCHOOL IN THE BAY AREA OR THE
CHARTER SCHOOL AT CARNEGIE. JUST
CAN'T AFFORD TO DO THAT OUR KIDS
ARE TOO PRECIOUS SO AGAIN. I'M
QUITE HAPPY WITH THE BILL AS IT
IS BUT IF WE CAN. LIGHTEN THE
BURDEN SOMEWHAT I'M HAPPY WITH
THAT TOO. LONG AS WE GET THAT
PROTECTION SO- PLEASE MAKE CLOSE
YES I WOULD SAY THAT THAT THE
SECOND BILL THAT SOMEONE ELSE
COULD WORK ON SINCE THIS IS MY
LAST YEAR HERE. OKAY IN SESSION
AND I DON'T WANNA. CONVOLUTED
THINGS I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS
NOT A NEW IDEA ARE YOU BILL IT'S
BEEN CHAMPIONED BY MR LEE WHOSE
MY AGE I'M NOT A DOCTOR THIS
YEAR. AND THE CHARTER SCHOOLS
HAVE CONTINUE TO MOVE- THE BOOK
THOUGH THE FIELD GOAL ON US OR
WHAT THEY WANT AND I WILL SAY
BEFORE THEY WANTED TO. TURN
INSIGHTS TO BE GRANDFATHERED IN
THIS BILL DOES THAT AND NOW
THEY'VE CHANGED TO A DIFFERENT
ARGUMENT. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS CAN
WAIVE ALL OF THE LOCAL I.
REQUIREMENTS CUT HAY DID EXACTLY
THAT. AND THE CHARTER SCHOOL
KNEW THAT THAT THAT HAD LED AN
ARSENIC AND GETTING CARE AND WE
TALK ABOUT LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. WHICH IS
WHAT CUT A HATE A 100% IS THOSE
KIDS DESERVE TO BE SAFE NO
MATTER WHAT IF IT'S BURDENSOME
IT'S PART OF SOME FOR A REASON
AND THEY DESERVE TO BE SAFE. OUT
THERE. I WILL SAY WE HAVE A NEW
SCHOOL IN MAY WOULD NEIGHBORING
CITY- THAT WAS BUILT ON A- SITE
THAT WAS COMPLETE. THE EIGHT
EIGHT AND IT'S ONE OF THE ONLY
NON TOXIC EFFECTS IN THE WHOLE
CITY NOW. OUT THERE ARE AND SO
THEY ARE COMPLYING AND WE'RE
EXCITED FOR THAT SCHOOL AND SO
WE WELCOME YOU SCHOOLS TO JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR STUDENTS.
OUR STATE AND THE IDEA THAT
THERE'S LACK OF FUNDING OR ITS
CUMBERSOME TO ME IS IN FULL TEEN
ACTUALLY GETS IN THE DAY BECAUSE
WE SHOULD ALL HAVE THE SAME
GOAL. TO ENSURE KIDS ARE SAVE
THESE TOXICS NOT ONLY MAKE IT
SICK BUT ALSO AFFECT OUR
ABILITY. GET TO THE OUT THERE
AND SO WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE. ALL RIGHT
AND I'M RECOMMENDING AND LIFE OF. PARDON THE MOVE BILL ALL RIGHT
MOVED IN SECOND. OF MADAM

COMMITTEE. BACK IN. WE'VE BEEN
SECONDED ALL RIGHT PLEASE GO
AHEAD MR BRYANT GOOD AFTERNOON
MISTER CHAIR AND COLLEAGUES
FIRST WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR ON
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR ALL OF
THEIR WORK WORKING WITH MY TEAM
ON THE ONGOING DEVELOPMENT OF
THIS BILL LANGUAGE WE ACCEPT THE
AMENDMENTS AND APPRECIATE THE
THOUGHTFUL WORK AYE THAT'S GONE
INTO THE PROCESS THUS FAR I RISE
TODAY TO PRESENT AB TWENTY FOUR
NINETEEN THE CALIFORNIA JUSTICE
FORTY ACT. THIS IS A BILL IN AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR CALIFORNIA TO
LEAD THE NATION. AN INDUSTRY
INNOVATION IN EQUITY. AS WE
BUILD A SHARED FUTURE. THE
JUSTICE FORTY ACT ESTABLISHES AN
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE WITHIN THE
STRATEGIC GROWTH COUNCIL
COMPOSED OF STAKEHOLDERS FROM
IMPACTED FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES
LABOR. TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND
OTHERS TO RECOMMEND PROJECTS.
AND KEEP CONSISTENCY WITH THE
FEDERAL JUSTICE FORTY EXECUTIVE
ORDER AND TRACK THE EXPENDITURES
OF FUNDS FROM THE FEDERAL
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT IN
JOBS THAT. THE FRAMEWORK WE SAID
IS THAT 40% OF THE FEDERAL
DOLLARS GO TO PROJECTS SERVING
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. WITH
AN ADDITIONAL TEN PERCENT.
SPECIFICALLY EARMARKED FOR LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES WE'VE
OPERATIONALIZED DISADVANTAGED
USING THE CALAVERAS SCREEN AND I
KNOW THE CHALLENGE WITH THAT IS
THAT OFTEN THERE ARE COMMUNITIES
THAT ARE EXTREMELY POOR THAT.
HAVE GOOD AIR QUALITY. IN GET
LEFT OUT OF THAT ANALYSIS AND TO
BE MINDFUL AND THOUGHTFUL OF
THAT AND TO INCORPORATE THAT
INTO OUR A HOLISTIC
CONCEPTUALIZATION OF
DISADVANTAGED WE'VE ADDED AN
EARMARKED SPECIFICALLY FOR JUST
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. IT'S
TIME TO MAKE A COMMITMENT TO THE
PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT
OF THE PROCESS IN HARM BY
DECADES OF BAD CHOICES. ENDED
NEWS USE NEW RESOURCES FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO STEP UP
AND HELP. THE RESULT OF THE LACK
OF INVESTMENTS IN CLEAN AND
SHARP CLEAR. THE COMMITTEES
ACROSS THE STATE ARE LIVING WITH
THE LEGACIES OF ENVIRONMENTAL
HARM. FROM CHOICES FROM DECADES
AGO. AND EVEN MORE RECENT
CHOICES. PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THE
U. S. ARE EXPOSED 238% HIGHER
LEVELS OF NITROGEN DIOXIDE. THAT
OUR WHITE NEIGHBORS IN L. A.
COUNTY ONE IN TEN CHILDREN HAVE
BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH ASTHMA. IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN IN WEST ADAMS A
PART OF MY DISTRICT NEARLY 30%
OF PEOPLE REPORTED BEING UNABLE
TO DO ACTIVITIES DUE TO SITE
OWNERS. FIFTEEN POINT 5%
REPORTED WEEKLY ASTHMA SYMPTOMS
AND THERE WAS A 25% RATE OF
PEOPLE WITH ASTHMA RELATED ER
VISITS. IN WEST OAKLAND. THE
BLACK AS PART OF OAKLAND. IS THE
HIGHEST LEVELS OF AIR POLLUTION.
IT'S LONG PAST TIME TO MOVE
FORWARD. AND MOVE FORWARD
TOGETHER WITH GOOD JOBS AND
CAREERS. IN AN ENERGY EFFICIENT
CALIFORNIA WITH NEW
OPPORTUNITIES. THAT ARE ALREADY
OPENING FOR CARPENTERS
MACHINISTS WELDERS ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT ASSEMBLERS
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANTS
ACCOUNTANTS. TRUCK DRIVERS
ROOFTOP ROOFERS AGRICULTURAL
LABOURS. INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC
INFRASTRUCTURE WILL PRODUCE.
BELOW JOBS FOR EVERYONE.AND WE
KNOW THAT WHEN COMMUNITY VOICES
COME TO THE TABLE THE RESULTS
ARE ALSO BETTER AGAIN. FOR
EVERYONE. BUT THIS ISN'T GONNA
HAPPEN UNLESS WE ARE CLEAR ABOUT
OUR GOALS. AND WHAT THIS TASK
FORCE IS LOOKING TO DO IS AGAIN
REVIEW AND RECOMMEND PROJECTS.
MARK 440% OF THE FEDERAL CLIMATE
DOLLARS COMING IN FOR CLEAN
ENERGY AND INFRASTRUCTURE WITH
THOSE FUNDS TO GO TOWARDS
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. AND
AN ADDITIONAL 10% DIRECTLY FOR
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. AND

THE SAFE AND AFFORDABLE DRINKING
WATER BOND. I'M ALMOST NO CAN NO
OF SAC WE BE I DO. AS THE CITY.
DESPITE THE FACT SOME OF THESE
COMMUNITIES ARE THE POOREST IN
THE STATE. SO THOSE COMMUNITIES
THAT WOULD NO LONGER BE
CONSIDERED DISADVANTAGED WOULD
HAVE TO COMPETE FOR MORE LIMITED
RESOURCES- AT THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER IDENTIFIED THE 10% OF
FUNDING THAT WOULD BE IDENTIFIED
BECAUSE LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS BILL THAT
USES COUNT BY RESTRAINT
DEFINITION OF DISADVANTAGED
WHICH FAILED TO IDENTIFY
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE STRUGGLING
TO MEET WATER QUALITY STANDARDS.
CALAVERAS BEING WOULD DEVELOP TO
IDENTIFY AIR QUALITY ISSUES AND
IT'S REALLY NOT THE RIGHT TOOL
TO IDENTIFY WATER QUALITY-
CHALLENGES. THE WATER RESOURCES
AND STATE WATER RESOURCES
CONTROL BOARD USE THAT PUBLIC
RESOURCES CODE DEFINITION OF
DISADVANTAGED. WHICH ALLOWED
THEM TO DIRECT FUNDING THAT
THOSE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE MORE
LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE WATER
QUALITY ISSUES. IN ADDITION
WHILE THIS BILL SEEKS TO BUILD
ON PRESIDENT BIDEN'S JUSTICE
FORTY IN ADDITION TO. THE
FEDERAL EFFORT IS THE GOAL ONLY
AND THIS BILL WOULD ESTABLISH A
MANDATE THAT 40% OF FEDERAL
FUNDING BE ALLOCATED. TO A MORE
NARROW GROUP OF COMMUNITIES. NOW
WILD 40% THE APPROPRIATE NUMBER
FOR SOME TYPES OF FUNDING IT MAY
NOT BE FOR OTHERS- IN THE
FEDERAL AGENCIES ARE STILL
IDENTIFYING HOW THIS GOAL WILL
BE IMPLEMENTED. AND TO FURTHER
COMPLICATE MATTERS THEY HAVE YET
EIGHT DIFFERENT GET DEFINITION
OF DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY. SO
IF THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD- YOU
KNOW YOU COULD HAVE A SITUATION
WHERE CALIFORNIA DIRECTING
FUNDING TO COMMUNITIES. THAT MAY
NOT EVEN PASSED BY THE FEDERAL
GOAL. AS WE GET THE HEAD OF THAT
PROCESS. SO WE WOULD HOPE THAT
THIS BILL ONLINE WITH THE
FEDERAL PROCESS WHICH IS ONGOING
AND WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH THE
OFFICE OFFICE ON AMENDMENTS. TO
ENSURE THAT THE BILL DOES NOT BE
ABOUT SOMEBODY STRUGGLING
COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT

COMMITTEE MISTER VICE CHAIR OR
JUST MATHIS MISTER VOTER HISTORY
DID A COMMENT PRETTY MUCH FOR
THIS BUT CALIFORNIA ALREADY A
PRIORITY AT THAT PRIORITIZES
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITY
CURRENTLY 10% OF ALL CAP AND
TRADE AUCTION REVENUES. MUST BE
SPENT ON PROJECTS LOCATED IN
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. 25%
ON PROJECT THE BENEFIT THOSE
COMMUNITIES. MANY GRANTS ALSO
PRIORITIZE DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IN THIS REGARD
CALIFORNIA'S ALREADY WAY AHEAD
OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY. SO
AT THIS TIME I THINK THIS BILL
IS UNNECESSARY. BOB GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU- THANK YOU- MISTER
BRYANT FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON ON
THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES- JUST
SOME QUESTIONS- TO CLARIFY MY
UNDERSTANDING SO THAT THE POINT
WAS MADE THAT. THAT IF THE-
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PASSES OR
DEFINES DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES IT IS THAT GOING TO
PRE EMPT- HOW YOUR BILL IS
ATTEMPTING TO A THAT IDEA
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. NO
IT'S NOT- IT'LL BE IN
COLLABORATION IN CONCERT ONE
ANOTHER BUT THE FEDERAL
GUIDELINES OR AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
AND LEAVE A LOT OF DISCRETION AN
OPPORTUNITY UP TO THE STATES
OKAY IN FACT I THINK OUR
LEADERSHIP COULD HAVE AN IMPACT
ON HOW THE REST OF THE COUNTRY
THINKS ABOUT WOULD DISADVANTAGE
COMMITTEE. OKAY SO- I AM I'M
SURE IT YOU YOU EVER A KNOWLEDGE
TO THE- YOU'RE YOU'RE DESIRE TO-
TO ADDRESS SOME OF AQUA'S
CONCERNS ABOUT HOW- THE
CALAVERAS GREEN LEAVES OUT A LOT
OF LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES. THAT
OTHERWISE HAVE. I GUESS BETTER
AIR QUALITY- I AM SURE IT'S NOT
YOUR INTENT TO EXCLUDE THOSE
COMMUNITIES WHY WHY NOT JUST TO.
WHY NOT JUST TAKE OUT HELP
CALLIN BY OR OR OR TAKE OUT
CALAVERAS SCREEN OR SUPPLEMENT
IT WITH WHAT. YOU KNOW THE WATER
YOU KNOW HOW THEY'RE DIRECTING
TO. FUNDS SUIT TO ADDRESS- GO
ALONG COMPANIES WITH UNSAFE
DRINKING WATER ABSOLUTELY
BECAUSE THE CALAVERAS SCREEN
DOESN'T JUST USE AIR QUALITY
RIGHT IT'S A CONSTELLATION OF
ENVIRONMENTAL FAILURES OVER A
LONG PERIOD OF TIME THAT A LOT
OF THESE INFRASTRUCTURE DOLLARS-
OR TO GO TO REMEDY. AND TO
MITIGATE RIGHT I WOULD
OPERATIONALIZE DISADVANTAGE COP
IN A HOLISTIC WAY OF TWO
DIFFERENT WAYS- YOU COULD YOU
COULD DEFINE IT BY OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE MOST
LIQUOR STORES FOR HER
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH THE LOWEST
PERFORMING SCHOOLS EVERYBODY HAS
AN INTEREST ON HOW THEY CAN FIND
ITS ADVANTAGE POOR AIR QUALITY
AND POOR WATER. QUALITY OVERLAP
MATURE THIS WAYTHE WAY THAT
THEY DON'T IT'S OFTEN- MOST. OF
THIS PROXY COVERED BY LOW INCOME
WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE'VE DONE
HERE WHAT WE'VE USED 40% FOR
DISADVANTAGED OPERATIONAL. IN
THE CALAVERAS CLINTON SPENT FOR
STRICTLY LOW INCOME THOSE IT IS
THAT DON'T FIT UNDER THAT LEAVES
FIFTH PERCENT THE SIMPLEST
DOLLAR THAT COULD GO EITHER OR
BOTH. AND ALL. OUR OUR OUR- ARE
YOU ONE AQUA DISAGREEING ON WHAT
CAN BE SHOULD QUALIFY FOR THESE
I DON'T THAT WE ARE. I THINK
WE'RE HAVING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
HOW TO DIVIDE PIE. WITHOUT
APPRECIATING THE FACT THAT IT'S
A NEW PART IN THERE ARE A LOT OF
FOLKS WHO CAN AND SHOULD BE
HELPED AND- WE ARE COMMITTED TO
WORKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO
MAKE SURE THAT COMMUNITIES THAT
HAVE HISTORICALLY. NOT TO
BELABOR THE REFERENCE BUT HAVE
NOT HAD. GET A PIECE OF THIS ONE
RIGHT AND THAT'S WHAT WE ARE IN
AGREEMENT ON AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THE
PROCESS TO MAKE SURE WE DO THIS
RIGHT. NOW BUT WE KNOW THE
HISTORIC CHALLENGES OR PUSH BACK
TO USING KALAN VIRAL SCREEN AS A
MEASURE ALBEIT IT'S A VERY
THOUGHTFUL AND WELL CRAFTED
MEASURE IT DOES LEAVE OUT
EXTREMELY POOR. COMMUNITIES THAT
DON'T HAVE SOME OF THESE
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS AND THOSE
EXTREMELY POOR COMMUNITIES. ARE
THOUGHT OF INCLUDED AND HAVE
BEEN IN THIS BILL FROM ITS
INCEPTION. FIVE FINALLY- YOU YOU
AND I AND OTHERS IN THIS
COMMUNITY- THAT- YOU THERE'S
THERE BEEN ONGOING ISSUES IN
TERMS OF- A LOT OF THE- THE
WORST ENVIRONMENTAL HARM COMING
FROM- REFINERIES AND OIL
DRILLING AND THAT- LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR- DO YOU
FORESEE THESE DOLLARS. TO
SOMEHOW REMEDIATE- THE DALLAS
ENVIRONMENTAL HARMS FROM THE
DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF
REFINERIES AND OIL DRILLING
TAKING PLACE ALONG CAN
COMMITTEES A COLOR. I THINK IF
THAT'S WHAT THE JUSTICE ORTY
TASK FORCE RECOMMENDS- WITH
THEIR PROPOSALS I DON'T WANNA
JUMP AHEAD OF THE TASK FORCE'S
RESPONSIBILITIES BUT I THINK
THAT IS. ONE OF THE VISION THE
KEY OBLIGATIONS TO FIND OUT WHAT
KIND OF ENVIRONMENTAL HARMS
COULD BE REMEDIED. A REPAIRED
AND PART OF THE SUSTAINABLE
FUTURE THAT WE'RE ALL BUILDING-
USING THESE DOLLARS OKAY I
SUSPECT IT'LL BE PART OF THE
CASE WITH YOU AND WITH YOUR-
PERMISSION I WOULD LIKE TO BE
ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR TO THIS
BILL. BE HABITAT THANK YOU. YES
BOB MISS GARCIA I THINK FIRST
AND THEN- THAT. THANK YOU I JUST
WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT
THE- PURPOSE OF THE CALAVERAS
SCREENING AND IF COMMUNITIES ARE
LEFT BEHIND AT THIS I MEAN THAT
THE CALAVERAS SCREENING THIS
FAILING- OUT THERE IT'S MEANT TO
LOOK AT A NUMBER OF ISSUES
SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION AND
HOW THAT AFFECTS OUR HEALTH. OUT
TALKING ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE SIDE OF IT ALL THAT'S
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT AND THAT'S
WHAT SHOULD BE MEASURED OUT
THERE IT DOESN'T MEAN
COMMUNITIES ARE LONG CONCERNED
SERVE RESOURCES A DISPLAY OF CAR
THAT THAT 10% GUARANTEED AND
THEY'RE STILL 50% OF THE PIE.
LEFT OUT THERE AND SO AS WE ARE
ARE YOU KNOW RIGHT NEW PLAN HOW
TO CUT IT UP I THINK IT'S FAIR
FOR GROUPS ADVOCATE FOR THEMSELF
ON SPEAK UP AND TRY TO GET AS
MUCH AS THEY CAN THAT'S OUR JOB
I AND I APPLAUD THAT BUT IT
SHOULD BE AT THE EXPENSE OR-
MISREPRESENTING A- TOOL THAT WE
HAVE HERE AND IN THE CAPITAL AND
CAL. SHOULD BE. OKAY. AND OTHER
PLACES OTHER SO. I A YEAR AFTER
YEAR TO. THIS IT'S- ON THE
CALAVERAS SCREENING AND IT'S
FASTER- THE COW. WE TO SELL YOUR
- YOU. TRUE IT. WILL MORE TOXIC
AND FOR THE CALIFORNIA NINE
CALIFORNIA TURNS OUT TO BE THE
CASE. THANK YOU. YEAH YEAH AT I
- I JUST GO ON RECORD AS WITH A
ELSE MY STEP AS REACHED OUT TO
YOUR STAFF ABOUT THIS CONCERN
AND- WE JUST REALLY APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS AND WE
HAVE A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN YOUR
ABILITY TO GET THIS RIGHT- AND
THAT'S PART OF WHY WE WERE I WAS
HAPPY TO MAKE THE MOTION FOR
YOUR BILL. THANK THANK YOU.
THAT'S RIGHT YOU MADE THE MOTION
FOR LEAVE ARE HAVE A MOTION.
YEAH OKAY. FROM SO MY TURN I
GUESS OKAY- HOW MUCH OF THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IS. TO WHAT
EXTENT SO THE ACT WAS CONCERNED
ABOUT GETTING THEIR SHARE FOR
THEIR COMMUNITIES I DON'T KNOW
THAT MUCH ABOUT THE
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL CERTAINLY
THAT'S ONE OF ITEM BUT IT'S ONE
AMONG MANY IS THAT CORRECT
CORRECT YEAH SO- LOOK- TO ACWA-
MISTER BRIAN HAS AN OPEN DOOR
POLICY UP I SUGGEST YOU CONTINUE
TO TALK WITH THEM I AM NOT GOING
TO TRY AND THE JUDICATA THIS
MISTER BRIAN SPENDING A LOT MORE
TIME THAN I AM- I'M HAPPY WITH
THE DIRECTION YOU'RE GOING AND
I'M HAPPY WITH YOU IS THE AUTHOR
OF THIS BILL AND I TRUST YOU.
CAN I DON'T THINK WE CAN. GIVE
TOO MUCH ARM TO ENVIRONMENTALLY
CHALLENGED AND- INCOME CHALLENGE
COMMUNITIES I COME FROM A
RELATIVELY PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY
. AND YOU KNOW I THINK SHOULD GO
TO THE COMMUNITIES AND- YOU KNOW
WILL WILL HAVE A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO I TRUST WILL MAKE THE RIGHT
DECISION AND I'M SURE THEY'LL BE
WATER PROJECTS AND OF COURSE
THERE'S 50% THAT YOU HAVEN'T
SPOKEN TO AT ALL. AND THAT CAN
CERTAINLY GO TO WATER PROJECTS
AS WELL SO I WILL LEAVE THIS IN
YOUR HANDS. AND RECOMMENDED AYE
VOTE AND- MADAM SECRETARY PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL. THIS IS ITEM FIVE
AB. TWENTY FOUR NINETEEN.
MACKLOWE AFTER I'VE GOT A CLOSE
CLOSE PLEASE. THAT THE I MEAN I
APPRECIATE THE URGENCY I THINK
THERE IS URGENCY- WHAT WHAT I
HAVE BROUGHT TO THIS COMMITTEE
IS A BILL THAT BRINGS LABOR TO
THE TABLE A BILL THAT BRINGS
ENVIRONMENTALISTS TO THE TABLE.
A BILL THAT TAKES NEW FEDERAL
RESOURCES AND CREATES A- POLICY
FRAMEWORK FOR MOVING THOSE
RESOURCES TO COMMUNITIES THAT
HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY HARMED.
BY BAD INVESTMENTS AND HARMFUL
INVESTMENTS WITHOUT LEAVING OUT-
THE POOREST OF OUR COMMUNITIES
AND OUR STATES I DON'T THINK
THAT WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
PASS THIS BILL I THINK WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY. TO AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE. VERY GOOD NOW YOU CAN CALL
THE ROLL THANK YOU FOR CATCHING
ME ON THAT IS PICTURE. WITH CITY

PLEASE PROCEED THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT. BUT I
GET THAT MUCH LOVE FOR MY BILLS
- BUT- OBVIOUSLY MUCH
APPRECIATED- AND- GOOD AFTERNOON
TO ALL OF YOU- AND I'LL BEGIN BY
THANKING THE CHAIR AND TO THIS
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR- THEY'RE
VERY DILIGENT WORK WITH MY STAFF
AND ME ON THIS LEGISLATION
CONCERNS ARE MOUNTING THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD ABOUT THE TOXICITY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PERSISTENCE OF
FOSS CHEMICALS THE EUROPEAN
UNION THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
CALIFORNIA THE OTHER STATES HAVE
BEEN WORK TO CURB. PEOPLE US
POLLUTION BY SETTING
CONTAMINATION LIMITS AND
RESTRICTING THE USE OF PEACE
PROCESS AND PRODUCTS. BUT THESE
SUBSTANCES ARE EVERYWHERE IN OUR
DRINKING WATER WASTEWATER AND
EVEN RAIN WATER SEN OUR BODIES
AND THE BODIES OF WATER AND FISH
. LATERS ARE NOW TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE AS A
SPREADING THROUGH THE THROUGHOUT
THE ECOSYSTEM. AND THEY'RE
ASKING- FOUNDATIONAL QUESTION
WHERE IS IT ALL COMING FROM. AB
TWENTY TWO FORTY SEVEN WOULD
REQUIRE A MANUFACTURER OF P.
FOSS OR A MANUFACTURER OF A
PRODUCT OR PRODUCT COMPONENT
CONTAINING THE FILES THAT IS
SOLD OFFERED FOR SALE
DISTRIBUTOR OFF. FOR PROMOTION
PURPOSE. INNER BOARD IN EIGHT
REPORT THOSE PRODUCTS AND THE
AMOUNT OF P. FONTS THAT CONTAIN
TO A PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE
DATABASE ANNUALLY. THE BILL
FURTHER INSTRUCTS THE DEPARTMENT
OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES CONTROL TO
WORK WITH THE INTERSTATE
CHEMICALS CLEARING HOUSE TO
CREATE AND MAINTAIN THAT
DATABASE PLATFORM. P. FIVE OUR
CLASS OF APPROXIMATELY TWELVE
THOUSAND TOXIC MAN MADE
CHEMICALS THAT CAN BE FOUND IN
MANY PRODUCTS PRODUCTS SUCH AS
NONSTICK COOKWARE WATER
REPELLENT CLOSE. THE CHURCH.
HOUSE PRODUCTS PAUL MERRY OUT OF
INDUSTRIAL MATERIALS EXPOSURE TO
P. FIVE SUSPEND WITH A WIDE
RANGE OF HEALTH CONCERNS THE-
ANSWER READ THE- HI. AND REDUCED
IMMUNE RESPONSE AND VACCINE
EFFECTIVENESS. VIRTUALLY ALL
PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES HAVE
P. FONTS IN THEIR BODIES AND
BABIES ARE BEING BORN WITH THEM
. WE KNOW THAT PETE FOSSE'S IN
MANY PRODUCTS AND EVEN AN
INDUSTRIAL SUBSTANCES BUT
BECAUSE P. FOSS HAS SO MANY USES
AND IS ONLY MET. FOR ALL. COULD
A FOR ANY SECTOR INDUSTRY. WE
THAT THE P. FOSS USES WE HAVE
ONLY STARTED TO REGULATE- SUCH
AS- USES IN FOOD PACKAGING
CARPETS TEXTILES COSMETICS AND
FIREFIGHTING FOAM ARE ONLY THE
TIP OF THE ICEBERG. IN ORDER FOR
READERS THAT CAN MAKERS TO
UNDERSTAND BUT A MATCH THIS P.
FAST POLLUTION WE NEED TO
UNDERSTAND HOW INTEREST BUYER.
EIGHTEEN COMES FROM. EIGHT TWO
FORTY SO WILL BE US THIS PER BY
REQUIRING MANUFACTURERS TO
REPORT TO THE INTERSTATE
CHEMICAL CLEARING HOUSE WHICH IS
A NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION
PROGRAM THE CALIFORNIA IS
ALREADY A MEMBER OF. IMPORT
ATTAINING PEAK BOSS THIS
INFORMATION IS NOT ONLY NEEDED
BY WASTE WATER REGULATORS WHO
ARE HERE WITH ME TODAY BUT ALSO
DECISION MAKERS AT EVERY LEVEL
OF GOVERNMENT. I'D LIKE TO BE
CLEAR.
FOUNDATIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT
HOW AND HOW MUCH PEOPLE OWE US
IS ENTERING OUR STATE WE CAN'T
TAKE FURTHER ACTION UNTIL WE
HAVE THAT BASIC INFORMATION. AB
TWENTY TWO FORTY SEVEN WILL HELP
US ACCURATELY IDENTIFY HOW MUCH
BOXES COMING TO THE STATE.
GIVING THE STATE THE AUTHORITY
THE STATE WILL ENABLE US TO
EXPLORE HOW BEST TO MITIGATE ITS
HARMFUL IMPACTS WITHOUT THIS
INFORMATION WE CAN'T TAKE ANY
MEANINGFUL STEP TOWARDS
PROTECTING THE HEALTH OF CASH
POIGNANCY AND ARE ARMED. LONG
TERM HERE WITH ME TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL R. ANDREW
VENTURA OF CLEAN WATER ACTION
AND JESSICA GALLAGHER OF
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
SANITATION AGENCIES. WHO WOULD
LIKE TO GO FIRST I BELIEVE I
WILL OKAY. MANRICO I WON THAT I
WON THE LOTTERY- THANK YOU CHAIR
QUIRK AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE IT'S AN HONOR HERE
BEFORE YOU AGAIN AND- ALWAYS
SITTING NEXT TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
BLOOM- CLEAN ACTION ALONG WITH
THE ENVIRONMENT CAN GROUP AND
THE CALIFORNIA. SANITATION
AGENCIES- CIRCLE ANSWERING THIS
BILL WILL REPEAT THE HEALTH
IMPACTS YOU'VE HEARD THEM BEFORE
. TURN AGAIN BUT I DO WANT TO
REMIND YOU THAT REGARD OF THE SO
CALLED TYPE OF P. FAST ALL OF
THESE CHEMICALS PERSIST TRAVEL
BROADLY IN. AND THEIR- CAN NO
LONGER. OF THIS. IF YOU GET
PROGRESS IRAQ IN SOME OF THEM
WERE AND UNDERSTOOD USE A P.
FAST- OVER THE YEAR BUT AS YOU
JUST HEARD ARE WE JUST THE CHIP
ICEBERG BECAUSE WE'RE REALLY
FOCUSED ARE OR HAVE BEEN FOCUSED
ON THAT BECAUSE HE IS A
PROFESSOR HAVE BEEN WELL PUBLIC
BUYS. THE BY IN IT NO. BE JUST
MAKER SUCH AS- ARE. PUBLIC
AGENCIES OR EVEN BUSINESSES HAVE
A GOOD SENSE OF HOW THESE
CHEMICALS ARE BEING USED
THROUGHOUT THE CALIFORNIA MARKET
. I'M YOU CAN HAVE THIS BILL
ACTUALLY CAME ABOUT IN THE
COURSE OF TWENTY TWENTY ONE AN
UNUSUAL COALITION CAME TOGETHER
UP FOLKS FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL
AND HEALTH- COMMUNITIES- AS WELL
AS THE WASTE WATER COMMUNITY WE
DECIDED THAT WE WERE GOING TO
TRUST EACH OTHER AT A FRANK
CONVERSATION ABOUT P. FAST AND
TRY TO FIND SOME COMMON GROUND
AND SOLUTIONS AND THE COURSE OF
THOSE DISCUSSIONS IT WAS
UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT GIVEN
THAT WE DO NOT MAKE PEACE US IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THE
BIGGEST BARRIER TO FUTURE
SOLUTIONS. IS ABOUT HOW AND IN
WHAT FORM CHEMICALS ENTER OUR
STATE AND THIS BILL ALONG WITH
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BELIEVES
LEADERSHIP IS THE RESULT OF
THOSE CONVERSATIONS. SO AND IT
WOULD JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION FOR
CALIFORNIA IS. HOW DO WE WANT TO
RESTRICT MAX. HOW DO WE DECIDE
WHAT'S AN ESSENTIAL. FACT THAT
WE NEED TO KEEP BUT THINGS WE
DON'T NEED HOW TO TAKE ACTION TO
MANAGE THAT WAVE SURE I DON'T
KNOW ALRIGHT ARE MEANT. TO WE
THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER FIRST
LEADERSHIP WE ARE. THE FOR THE
AND WE WILL MAKE DECISIONS BASED
THE DATA AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
HE PRETTY IN THIS. GOOD
AFTERNOON MISS CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
. CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SAN
THE WE ARE HERE TODAY AT THE
PRESS COSTA OF AB TWENTY TWO
FORTY. AS YOU KNOW FOSS HAS
BECOME A VERY SIGNIFICANT TOPIC
IN WATER AND WASTEWATER IN THE
UBIQUITY OF THESE CHEMICALS
COUPLED WITH THE URGENCY FOR
FINDING SOLUTIONS FOR MANAGING
THEM. HAS COME. IN K. ACTIVE
MANAGE OPTIONS WE'RE CURRENTLY
WORKING WITH THE WATER BOARDS TO
IDENTIFY THE LEVELS OF P. FAST
IN OUR SYSTEM THROUGH A
STATEWIDE MONITORING AND
REPORTING ORDER- PRELIMINARY
RESULTS FROM THE FIRST PHASE OF
THIS EFFORT INDICATE THAT WE'RE
SEEING CONSISTENT LEVELS OF P.
FUSSING WASTE WATER FROM BOTH
RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
CHARGES IT'S COMING IN FROM
SOURCES OUTSIDE OF THOSE THAT WE
CAN CURRENT REGULATE THROUGH-
THE INDUSTRIAL PERMITS AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL SO THAT INDICATES IT
IS BEING USED IN PRADA. PEOPLE
AND BUSINESSES. WE SEE
CONSISTENTLY THAT ARE MORE P.
FIVE COMPOUNDS IN EFFLUENTS
COMPARED TO THE INFLUENCE.
INDICATING THAT SOME OF THESE
CHEMICALS HAVE A TENDENCY TO
TRANSFORM INTO MORE HARMFUL
COMPOUNDS DURING THE CONTROLLED
TREATMENT PROCESS. AND THIS
TENDENCY IS REPRESENTATIVE OF
HOW THESE PERSISTENT COMPOUNDS
REACT IN THE NATURAL
ENVIRONMENT. AS AGENCIES TASKED
WITH THE PROTECTION OF PUBLIC
HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT THIS
IS A VERY DAUNTING PROCESS TO BE
FACE. THERE'S NO CABLE
DESTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY SO TREAT.
A SIGNIFICANT RATEPAYER EXPENSE
WOULD ONLY DISPLACE THE CHEMICAL
RESIDUALS TO A DIFFERENT WEIGHT
DREAM. SO THE MOST COST
EFFECTIVE AND MEANINGFUL
APPROACH TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE
AS SOURCE CONTROL SOURCE
REDUCTION AND POLLUTION
PREVENTION. RIGHT NOW WE ARE
LIMITED BY THE LACK OF
INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THESE
CHEMICALS ARE USED IN COMMERCE
AND UNTIL WE KNOW WHERE THEY'RE
COMING FROM WE CAN'T IMPLEMENT
MEANINGFUL SOURCE REDUCTION
POLICIES. AB TWENTY TWO FORTY
SEVEN WOULD GIVE US THE DATA WE
NEED TO SUPPORT STATE AND LOCAL
MANAGEMENT DECISIONS AND FOR US
TO BETTER IDENTIFY TO THE PEOPLE
OFTEN OUR WATERSHEDS. WE WOULD
USE THIS INFORMATION TO WORK
WITH OUR CUSTOMERS ON POLLUTION
PREVENTION POLICIES TO LIMIT THE
INTRODUCTION OF THESE CHEMICALS
INTO THE ENVIRONMENT. AB TWENTY
TWO FORTY SEVEN WILL GIVE US THE
AND- REPORT THAT. I WANT. NUMBER
YOUR I. SO ARE THERE ARE IN ROOM

THANK YOU. WE'VE GOT QUITE A

STEP IS WITH THE AMERICAN
CHEMISTRY COUNCIL AND HE'S HERE
TO SPEAK FOR THEIR POSITION ON
THE BILL. THANK YOU DR COURT
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE TO
INVESTIGATE FOR THE WITH THE
AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
TESTIFY TODAY I DO WANT TO FIRST
START OFF BY SAYING THAT WE GOT
A COUPLE OF MEETINGS WITH THE
AUTHOR'S OFFICE AND THE SPONSORS
AND VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE
OPENNESS AND- OPEN DIALOGUE- WE
DO UNDERSTAND APPRECIATE
INTENDED THE BILL BUT WE HAVE
IDENTIFIED A FEW CONCERNS. AND
AS OF TODAY MUST RESPECT TAKEN
IN OPPOSE POSITION. AS YOU'VE
HEARD THIS BILL WOULD CREATE A
NEW DATABASE TO HOUSE
INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY
MANUFACTURERS. ARE INDUSTRY
CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE REASONABLE
PRODUCTION USE AND MANAGEMENT OF
THESE FLORIDA SUBSTANCES. BUT
WITH RESPECT TO TWENTY TO FORTY
SEVEN WE HAVE RAISED A COUPLE OF
CONCERNS- THIS BILL COMES AT A
TIME WHEN U. S. EPA IS. EXPECTED
TO FINALIZE A COMPREHENSIVE
REPORTING RULE ON THIS VERY SAME
ISSUE LATER THIS YEAR-
MANUFACTURES A P. FOSS AND
PEOPLE TALK. CONTAINING
ARTICLES- MUST REPORT IN. ELEVEN
OF DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF
INFORMATION PROPOSED A USES FOR
EACH SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE
DESCRIPTIONS OF BY PRODUCTS
RESULTING FROM MANUFACTURING
PROCESSING USE AND DISPOSAL-
INFORMATION RELATIVE TO
ENVIRONMENTAL- AND HEALTH
EFFECTS AS WELL AS WORKER
EXPOSURE TO NAME A FEW. EPA HAS
STATED THAT THIS RULE IS TO HELP
THEM BETTER UNDERSTAND SOURCES
AND QUANTITIES OF P. FAST
MANUFACTURING IN THE US SUPPORT
ON GOING RESEARCH MONITORING AND
REGULATORY EFFORTS. WE THINK
THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
CALIFORNIA TO LEVERAGE THIS
INFORMATION BETTER UNDERSTAND A
POTENTIAL SOURCES OF EXPOSURE
AND ALLOW DGSE OR ANOTHER
APPROPRIATE STATE AGENCY TO
PRIORITIZE A POTENTIAL FUTURE
REGULATORY ACTIONS- WE DO
BELIEVE THAT DGSE DOES HAVE SOME
EXISTING AUTHORITY TO COMPEL
MANUFACTURE ASK MANUFACTURERS
FOR. FOR INFORMATION- AND IT'S A
COMMITTEE MAY KNOW THE- CENTER
ALLEN'S SB FIVE OH TWO IS MOVING
TO A LEGISLATURE THAT WOULD
COMPEL MANUFACTURERS AT THE TNCS
DIRECTION TO PROVIDE A HOST OF
INFORMATION ABOUT CHEMICAL
INGREDIENTS CONCENTRATION
FUNCTIONAL USE. INFORMATION IS
RELATIVE TO THE USE OF PRODUCTS.
IT WHEN ANOTHER. RELATIONS ARE
SO AGAIN WE DO URGE THE
COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT IN THE
LEGISLATURE CONSIDER HOW WE
MIGHT BE ABLE TO UTILIZE SOME OF
OUR EXISTING TOOLS ONGOING TOOLS
AT EPA- TO HELP BETTER
UNDERSTAND- INSTILL SOME OF THE
DATA GAPS THAT CALIFORNIA MAY
IDENTIFY AS A PRIORITY JUST A
COUPLE OF OTHER ISSUES REAL
QUICKLY RIGHT NOW THE BILL DOES
NOT CONTAIN AN ARGUE A TO
MINIMUS LEVEL THAT WOULD TRIGGER
REPORTING OBLIGATIONS SO SUPPLY
CHAINS ARE PRETTY COMPLEX SMALL
MEDIUM AND LARGE COMPANIES ALL
PER COMPONENT PARTS THAT COULD
IS IN A SINGLE PROP- OF A STATE
SPECIFIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
COULD BE. TREMENDOUSLY
COMPLICATED- AND AGAIN AB TWENTY
TWO FORTY SEVEN DOT. A THIRD.
EITHER OUR STATE CHEMICALS-
HOUSE TO CREATE AND MANAGE THIS
INFORMATION. WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE AT LEAST SOME GUIDELINES OR
REQUIREMENTS THAT ENSURE THE
INFORMATION COLLECTED- IT'S
PRESENTED TO THE PUBLIC IN A IN
A SCIENTIFICALLY SOUND MANNER.
BEING SKINNY PER PRESENTING SUCH
TECHNICAL AND YOU WANT
INFORMATION. IS IMPORTANT FOR
MANUFACTURERS TO BE INVOLVED IN

SAFE DRINKING WATER ACT. PRIMARY
DRINKING WATER STANDARDS YES
SERVICE CHAIRED COLLEAGUES AND
I'LL JUST JUMP RIGHT IN THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE THE STATE
BOARD TO TAKE CERTAIN ACTIONS.
WHEN A PRIMARY DRINKING WATER
STANDARD IS ADOPTED. AND THAT
REALLY LOOKING AT HOW WE GET
INTO COMPLIANCE I THINK WE ALL
RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF
KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE AS IT
RELATES TO CONTAMINANTS IN OUR
WATER. BUT THERE A LOT OF IN
NEED TO HAPPEN IN TERMS OF
ABILITY ACCESSIBILITY TO
TECHNOLOGIES AND- ULTIMATELY
WHICH SYSTEM STOCKS THAT
CALIFORNIA ARE GONNA BE ABLE TO
COMPLY- WHEN ADOPTED AND IF NOT
WHO ARE THEY WHERE ARE THEY AND
WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THEM.
TO COMPLIANCE SO THAT'S WHAT
THIS BILL IS ABOUT- ARE A
WITNESS TODAY'S AMOUNT OF THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE COUNTY
JAILS. THANK YOU BUTTERMILK VICE
CHAIR SMITH THE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS AND I DON'T
THEY GOT FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS
I HAVE SERVED AS EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF MUTUAL WATER
COMPANIES WITH R. FOUR HUNDRED
MEMBERS WERE CONSIDERED. THE
VOICE A SMALL SYSTEMS IN
CALIFORNIA. I'D LIKE TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER EDUARDO GARCIA
FOR BEING A CITY SUPPORTER OF
SMALL WATER SYSTEMS AND
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. AS
WELL AS THE PASSWORD THE
CHAIRMAN DID ON PRIMACY AGENCIES
AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT.
THE AGENCIES IT SERVES. MS ARE
PROPERLY FUNDED. I'D ALSO LIKE
TO THANK YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFER
THERE EXCELLENT SUGGESTIONS AND
CONSTRUCTIVE AMENDMENTS. ABOUT
AB TWENTY FORTY ONE. WE FEEL
THAT THE SIX AREAS IDENTIFIED
FOR CONTINUING WORK ON THIS BILL
ARE ACHIEVABLE BECAUSE THE
CLARIFICATIONS ARE BASED ON THE
CURRENT PRACTICES AND RESOURCES.
OF THE STATE WATER BOARD IN THE
DIVISION OF DRINKING WATER IN
THE PROCESS OF CREATING NEW SAFE
DRINKING WATER STANDARDS FOR
TARGETED CHEMICALS. AS WELL AS
IN THE BOARD'S CURRENT WORK TO
HELP WATER SYSTEMS AT RISK OF
FAILURE UNDER THE SAFER PROGRAM.
UNDER CURRENT PRACTICES IN THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF SAFE DRINKING
WATER STANDARDS COMPLIANCE BY
SMALL WATER SYSTEMS AND
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES IS
PRETTY MUCH. THE CHATS. BUT THE
BILL BLOCK- TO ADDRESS THIS
DISPARITY WERE LARGER SYSTEMS
CAN AFFORD TO COMPLY BUT MANY
SMALL WATER SYSTEMS CAN. WE ARE
GRATEFUL THAT THE BOARD IS
ALLOWING FOR A MULTI YEAR
COMPLIANCE PERIOD FOR EXAMPLE.
PROCESS TO SET A NEW STANDARD
FOR CHROMIUM SIX. AS THE
ANALYSIS NOTED. THE PREVIOUS FOR
CHROMIUM SIX SAID BEEN IN THE
DAY. TWENTY SEVEN. HUNDRED IT
RISK COMPLIANCE WITH PRIMARY
DRINKING WATER IN CAL. AB TWENTY
FORTY ONE TAKES THE CHANCE OUT
OF COMPLIANCE BY ESTABLISHING
LOGICAL STEPS AT THE END OF THE
REGULATORY APPROVAL PROCESS TO
ACCOUNT FOR THOSE SMALLER AND
POOR WATER SYSTEMS THAT CANNOT
AFFORD TO COMPLY THE FINAL STEP
IS A FINANCIAL PLAN TO HELP THEM
COMPLY AB TWENTY FORTY ONE WILL
ALSO HELP THE DIVISION OF
DRINKING WATER AGAINST FUTURE
LEGAL ATTEMPTS TO INVALIDATE
DRINKING WATER STANDARDS BECAUSE
IT BAKES AND ECONOMIC FEASIBLE.
REQUIRING A FINANCE FOR WHAT
SINCE COMPLY WITH SAFE DRINKING
WATER STANDARDS WE ASK FOR YOUR
YES VOTE AND THANK YOU ONCE
AGAIN FOR CONSIDERING THIS BILL
. VERY GOOD. ALL IS THERE ANYONE

CHAIRMAN- MARCH MORE OF A
COMMENT MR GARCIA I REALLY
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE DOING-
WITH THIS PIECE OF LEGISLATION
AND WOULD LOVE TO A CO AUTHOR
JOIN IF YOU HAD ME AT THAT
LEVEL- THIS IS VERY MUCH NEEDED.
AND IT'S ABOUT TIME WE PUT. THE
SOME STUFF WHEN INSTALLING WITH
CLEAN WATER. MISTER VICE CHAIR
SAID THINK THANK YOU- EDUARDO
GARCIA ASSEMBLY MEMBER FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD- BUT NEEDS
TO BE DONE I'M HOPING THAT WITH
THE APPROPRIATIONS FOR GOVERNOR
GET SOME MONEY INTO THIS SO WE
DON'T JUST START CONSOLIDATING
WATER DESTRUCTION WILL LEAD THE
SMALL. BE ABLE TO SURVIVE ON
BECAUSE THEY DO A VERY GOOD PART
IN THIS AND I TOO WOULD LIKE TO
BE A CO AUTHOR. HI GOOD. OF THIS
GARCIA MISTER CALDERON. NO
QUESTIONS VERY GOOD- I'LL JUST
MAKE A COMMENT- THAT YOU CAN
ENTER YOUR CLOTHES SO WHAT WHAT
THE WATERBOARDING CLEAN WATER
ACTION WILL BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
IS HELLO UNDERSTAND YOUR
FINANCIAL SITUATION I MEAN I GET
MY WATER FROM OUR WATER AGENCY
THAT HAS A HUNDRED THOUSAND
CUSTOMERS. AND IT CAN PRETTY
MUCH TAKE CARE OF ANYTHING. BUT
THERE CLEARLY ARE AGENCIES THAT
CAN'T AND WHAT THEY'LL WANT IN
YOUR BILL IS TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT EVENTUALLY- WE DO GET THE-
ARE. WE DO GET THE COMPLIANCE.
AND I KNOW THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK
. I THINK BEYOND THIS YEAR ON
THIS- TO GET THAT MONEY THAT'S
GOING TO BE NEEDED- I THINK
THEY'RE STILL WILL BE
CONSOLIDATIONS OF SYSTEMS ARE
WE'LL SEE HOW THAT ALL WORKS OUT
BUT- THERE'S NOTHING MORE
IMPORTANT THAN CLEAN WATER AND
AT THE SAME TIME YOU DON'T WANT
TO HAVE A PRICE. THAT PEOPLE
CAN'T PAY AND I CAN'T THINK OF
ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN
THAT WHICH IS WHILE BE
SUPPORTING YOUR BILL. YOU MAY
CLOSE THANK YOU I THINK YOU YOU
STATED IT WELL RIGHT THERE ARE
TWO THINGS THAT WERE NOT
COMPROMISING HERE. ONE IS THE
HUMAN RIGHT TO YOU KNOW CLEAN
SKIN AND AFFORDABLE WATER. AND
THE OTHER IS COMPLIANCE RIGHT
THOSE ARE TO THE FUNDAMENTAL
THINGS THAT WE ARE ALL IN
AGREEMENT WITH. WHAT WE'RE
ASKING TO BE DONE HERE IS IF
WE'RE GOING TO GET TO COMPLIANCE
WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
WILL BE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS. THAT
WILL HAVE A BIGGER CHALLENGES TO
GET TO COMPLAINTS IDENTIFYING
THEM AS IT'S CRITICAL. AND WHAT
THE PATH TO COMPLIANCE LOOKS
LIKE IS THAT MUCH MORE. THE
ESSENCE OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
SHARE WITH THIS LEGISLATION- WE
CANNOT HAVE. A SITUATION WHERE.
WE'RE PUTTING- THE FINANCIAL
CONSTRAINTS. ON THE CONVERSATION
OF PROTECTING PEOPLE- WITH THAT
PROVIDING CLEAN DRINKING WATER
RIGHT A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
PERCENT. WATER INCREASED TO GET
INTO COMPLIANCE- WHERE REALLY-
HURTING PEOPLE AT THAT POINT IF
FIVE IF NOT THROUGH THE PUBLIC
HEALTH ASPECT. TO THE FINANCIAL
RIGHT AND- THAT'S JUST NOT.
ACCEPTABLE AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL IS ATTEMPTING TO DO. IS
MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL. PLANTS IN
THAT EVERY ONE AT SAFELY
DRINKING WATER THAT'S AFFORDABLE
SPECTACLE. WELL GREAT BILL. CAN
WE HAVE A MOTION. MISTER MATHIS

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MISTER
TEMPORARY CHAIR. AND AND MY
FELLOW MEMBERS- AS THE AS WITH

SAYING HOW HOW IMPORTANT-
COMMITTEE STAFF IS. THAT THEY'RE
THE ONES WHO CAN. GET THIS ON
THE RIGHT TRACK THEY WORK ON
THESE ISSUES THEY CAN TALK TO
THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN THE
ADMINISTRATIVE DEPARTMENT. AND
THEY CAN THE- KEEP US ON TRACK
RIGHT A GOOD ANALYSIS. OF REALLY
GOING TO GET US TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND OUR BILLS. AB TWENTY
SEVEN EIGHTY SEVEN WOULD BAN THE
SALE AND DISTRIBUTION OF
COSMETICS. THE CHURCH AND
CERTAIN CLEANING PRODUCTS THAT
CONTAIN INTENTIONALLY ADDED
MICROPLASTICS. NOW MICROPLASTICS
ARE AS PERSISTENT AS YOU COULD
GET IN THE ENVIRONMENT. AND
THERE ARE A PERVASIVE PROBLEM
YOU JUST HEARD THAT FROM- THAT
P. FAST- YOU HAVE THE SAME
PROBLEM WITH PLASTICS. ARE THERE
EVERYWHERE AND OF COURSE YOU
ALSO HEARD THAT FROM- OUR BAIL
ON- WASHING MACHINE FILTERS. SO
THE IN PARTICULAR THERE S A
GREAT STUDY DONE BY THE ESTUARY
INSTITUTE SHOWING HOW THEIR
FIBERS EVERYWHERE ARE
PARTICULARLY- IT GETS INTO THE
BAY THROUGH STORMWATER. A LAKE
TAHOE ALSO HAS MY AGE WHAT IS A
PURE PLACE THE TAHOE.
MICROPLASTICS EVERYWHERE
STEADIES YOU SHOWN THAT
MICROPLASTICS ARE HARMFUL TO
MARINE LIFE. AND EXPERTS HAVE
RAISED CONCERN ABOUT THE IMPACTS
TO OTHER WILDLIFE AND HUMAN
HEALTH. ANDIN FACT YOU CAN FIND
IT IN PEOPLE'S LUNGS. ONCE
MICROPLASTICS A RELEASE IN THE
ENVIRONMENT OF COURSE THEY DON'T
BREAK DOWN THEY- CAN COULD
BECOME SMALLER AND SMALLER TO
THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN'T SEE
THEM. BUT THE SMALLER THEY GET
TO A CERTAIN SIZE THEY CAN BE
VERY HARMFUL. OF REPORTS BY THE
OCEANSIDE AND TRUSTS AND OTHERS
RECOMMEND USING A PREVENTIVE
APPROACH TO CONTROL SOURCES OF
MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION.
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS TAKEN
SIGNIFICANT STEPS TO CURB
MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION.
COLLUDING AB EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT
BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER BLOOM WHICH
PASSED OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE
FIFTEEN IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST
BILLS I CHAIRED. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
WE SHOULD BAN THE SALE OF RENTS
OF PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS THAT
CONTAIN MICROBEADS WHICH ARE
MICROPLASTICS THAT ARE USED TO
SCRUBBING AGENTS. EVER
MICROPLASTICS ARE STILL WIDELY
USED IN MANY OTHER CONSUMER
GOODS INCLUDING COSMETICS.
LAUNDRY DETERGENTS AND CLEANING
PRODUCTS CONTINUED NONESSENTIAL
USES OF MICROPLASTIC. IN THESE
PRODUCTS MIGHT REPORT RELEASED
CALIFORNIA'S WATER AIR AND SOIL. FEBRUARY THE OCEAN PROTECTION
COUNCIL RECOMMEND THAT
CALIFORNIA RESTRICT THE USE OF
INTENTIONALLY ADDED
MICROPLASTICS IN CONSUMER
PRODUCTS LIKE MAD. S. AS PART OF
A STATE WIDE MICROPLASTICS
STRATEGY. THIS BILL DIRECTLY
ACTS ON THAT RECOMMENDATION TO
PROHIBIT THE SALE OF COSMETICS
DETERGENTS. AND CERTAIN CLEANING
PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN
INTENTIONALLY ADDED
MICROPLASTICS TO PREVENT FURTHER
MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION.
DITERPENE UNION HAS PROPOSED
REGULATIONS TO PROHIBIT THE USE
OF MICRO PLASTICS IN THESE
PRODUCTS. I INTEND TO HAVE A
BILL THAT THE INDUSTRY CAN
COMPLY WITH MY HOPE IS TO ALIGN
CALIFORNIA LAW WITH YOU AGAIN
LATER. THIS HAS TO BE DONE IN A
MANNER THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR
CALIFORNIA'S REGULATORY
ENVIRONMENT I BELIEVE WE CAN DO
THIS. WE'RE STILL WORKING WITH
TECHNICAL EXPERTS AND
STAKEHOLDERS. PRECIADO TACKLE
PREVENTED IT WORK WITH US. AS
WELL AS ACADEMIA AND OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS TO FULLY
UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY OF THE
E. REGULATION. THE MEN COULD FOR
. I APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATIONS
MY STAFF OF HAD WITH
STAKEHOLDERS UP TO THIS POINT WE
LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THEM FURTHER- ANY HELP THEY CAN

THOUGH TO PUT IN JUST KEEP AT
FIVE. I THERE. ENVIRONMENT TO
THE SIDE AND- AFTER THAT THE BY
THE BATHROOM FOR CONTROLLING

WHEN THEY ANSWER THE ENVIRONMENT
OR ONE INSURE THANKS REDUCE THE
NUMBER OF MAN PLASTIC ENTERING

THEN AND OUR CHANGE ON AN X. HIM
SO I WOULD SUPPORT. TWENTY

THE VERGE REDUCTION PRIMARY
CLASSIC ENQUIRING. AN EXCELLENT
AND IT IS RIGHT ACT ON THE OCEAN

COULD SEE TO ZURCHER MEMBERS
MANUALLY ON BEHALF OF THE
PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS COUNCIL-
HERE IN REGRETFUL OPPOSITION-
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED TO TWENTY
SEVEN EIGHTY SEVEN A BILL THAT-
PUT RIGHT MICHAEL PLUS CONSUMER
PRODUCTS. AFTER WOULD HAVE. BEEN
BECAUSE MEDIC AND PERSONAL CARE
PRODUCTS AVAILABLE TO CONSUMERS
TODAY LET ME START OFF BY
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT MICROPLASTIC
POLLUTION IS A PROBLEM THAT WILL
REQUIRE CREATE STILL. A STRONG
TWELVE SEVENTY SEVEN OVER THE
BROAD FAILS TO CONSIDER MANY OF
THE RECENTLY DEVELOP INNOVATION
THEN ARE A THREE. TO ADDRESS THE
1% THE PROBLEM THROUGH X. EARLY
MATT. THE TWENTY. POST BY
MICHAEL STRATEGIES IDENTIFIED
MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS TO
MICROPLASTICS- THOSE CATEGORIES
INCLUDED VEHICLE TIRES TEXTILES
SINGLE USE FOOD WHERE AND
PACKAGING AGRICULTURE AND
FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE
ADDITIONALLY AN E.U.
MICROPLASTICS DAYS FOUND THAT
EXTRAVERTED SEVEN EIGHTY AN
AIMLESS X. DIFFERENCE AND HIS.
THEN PERCENT MORE SPECIFIC POINT
NINE PER CENT TO MARK PROBLEM
GLOBALLY. NOT ONLY IS IT
PERPLEXING THAT AB TWENTY SEVEN
EIGHTY SEVEN WHAT THE MINIMUS
CONTRIBUTOR SIX BUT DEPENDING ON
HOW THE TERM MICROPLASTICS IS
ULTIMATELY DEFINED THE BILL
COULD DECIMATE AN ENTIRE. TRIP A
BANNING ANY OF THE PRODUCTS THAT
CONSUMERS FIND ESSENTIAL TODAY.
ALMOST NO ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT.
AND WHILE WE APPRECIATE THAT
MICROPLASTICS HAVE BEEN FOUND IN
OCEANS THIS BILL FAILS TO
ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT
FOCUSES ON AND DOUBLE SORTS
RATHER THEM AMERISOURCEBERGEN OF
ABOUT. REMEMBER THE SIX R.
PALMER NOT ALL POLYMERS PLASTICS
MANY OF THE POLYMERS THAT OUR
INDUSTRY USES AIR LIQUIDE IN WAX
FORM NOT SOLID PARTICLE SECTOR
TO PLASTIC IN LETTER. AND IT'S
UNCLEAR WHETHER THESE POLYMER
WHAT. SHERD IN UNDER THE SCOPE
OF THE BILL IF THEY ARE THEN
THIS BILL WOULD REPRESENT A
DEFECTIVE BAND BECAUSE IT IS NOT
THAT IS NOT A VIABLE SUBSTITUTE
FOR ME OF NON STICK POTS THAT WE
USED TO. BE GREAT PRODUCT PROOF
ONE STATE ETCETERA AND MANY OF
THE ATTRIBUTES THAT CONSUMERS
FIND USEFUL AND BANNING THESE
POLYMERS WOOD NESSUS THAT WOULD
NECESSARILY REQUIRE US. TO
REFORMULATE THE END PRODUCT
WHICH- WILL TAKE SEVERAL DECADES
TO DO. THE OF THE MATTER IS THAT
THE IT WAS STILL WORKING ON
THEIR DRAFT REGULATIONS WHAT IS
ESSENTIALLY THE EQUIVALENT OF A
COMMITTEE REPORT IS WHAT WE'VE
BEEN TOLD BY THE U. COUNTERPART
. FOR IT SHOWS WELCOME EXIST
ISSUE ISN'T THE TIME IF YOU HAS
TAKEN- THAT TAKE. NUMBER OF YEAR
ASSEMBLY PLUS ELATION THERE'S A
DONE IT AS POOR LONG TOGETHER
RIGHT. HOWEVER THERE ARE THINGS
IN THE DRY. WE DO THIS- THAT WE
CAN SUPPORT AND WE THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR ENGAGING IN
CONVERSATIONS AND HIS COMMITMENT
TO. ALIGNING- AS MUCH AS WE CAN
WITH THE E. U. IMAGINE IT'S TO
ALIGN IN THAT IS. THE YEAH. A
CALL A COLD. WHAT BUT I'D LIKE
TO HIGHLIGHT ONE THING AND- THE
U. CURRENTLY. AND THAT IS- OKAY
. SO WE BELIEVE THAT AB TWENTY
SEVEN EIGHTY SEVEN SHOULD
EXAMPLE ON COSMETICS- WHICH ARE
PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT INTENDED
TO BE WASHED DOWN THE DRAIN.
THINK OF YOUR MASK YOUR LIPSTICK
HERE QUESTION THESE PRODUCTS- IN
MANY CASES REQUIRE THE CONSUMER
TO WIPE THEM OFF WITH THAT.
BACKED WE CONSUME AND THAT SHE
OVERNIGHT PERCENT SIMMERS
UTILIZE MAKE WIPES- TO REMOVE
THESE TYPES OF MAKEUP AND
THEY'RE SOLID WASTED RATHER THAN
BEING FLUSHED DOWN THE- AGAIN MY
COLLEAGUES. CONCERNS BUT- WE
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THIS BILL
ONLINE WITH THE E. U. AND- UNTIL
THEN WE RESPECTFULLY REMAIN
OPPOSED MOST AMENDED. I THANK

WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION AND IT
ALSO- LIKE TO ADD- THE COMMON
SIDE PROVIDED BY MANDY LEE- IN
ADDITION AND ALL TALK ABOUT
FRAGRANCE AND CAP LET'S. ANY
ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS SEEKING TO
ALIGN WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION
FIRST FRAGRANCE ENCAPSULATION IS
A LEADING SENT DELIVERY
TECHNOLOGIES USED BY THE FAKE
AND INDUSTRY AND CONSUMER
PRODUCT COMPANIES. FURTHER
FRAGRANCE THE SHIP AND- PERCENT
. 8004% I'VE BEEN ONLY ADDED
MICROPLASTICS. ENCAPSULATION IS
THE MOST RESOURCE EFFICIENT WAY
OF DELIVERING FRAGRANCE REDUCING
THE AMOUNT OF PERFUME USED BY
ROUGHLY 33% WHILE ALLOWING THE
SENATE TO LAST LONGER. WHEN USED
IN DETERGENT THIS CAN ACTUALLY
LEAD TO SOME ENVIRONMENTAL
BENEFITS- CONSUMER XIN TEXTILE
UP OFTEN. DO WATER USE LESS
CONSUMPTION BUT ALSO MICROFIBRES
GOING DOWN THE DRAIN WHICH HAS
BEEN SHOWN TO BE A MUCH LARGER
CONTRIBUTED. PASTA BY. FOR DISK
. DUE IN LARGE PART TO THE
SYSTEM BILLETE BENEFITS OF ALL
INCAPSULA TECHNOLOGY THE YOU
BUILT INTO THEIR MICROPLASTICS
REGULATION A BIO DEGRADATION
STANDARD BASED ON
INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED WE C.
D. AND I. S. O. TESTING
STANDARDS SO THAT TRULY BY. THE
IS AS THE VIABLE PATHWAY
AVAILABLE TO INNOVATE AND
CONTINUE TO REALIZE THE BENEFITS
OF FRAGRANCE ENCAPSULATION A
BIODEGRADABLE STANDARD TO ALLOW
MORE SUSTAINABLE BIODEGRADABLE
POLYMERS IS AN ABSOLUTE
NECESSITY TO HAPPEN AB TWENTY

LOOKING I'M L. ADD TO HAVE A DE
MINIMIS THRESHOLD IN THE
DEFINITION OF MICROPLASTIC TO
AVOID UNNECESSARY ENFORCEMENT OR
LITIGATION FROM- YOU KNOW DE

ANALYSIS- ON THIS. BILL AB
NINETEEN THIRTY ONCE A CRITICAL
BILL THAT PROTECTS ACCESS TO
SAFE DRINKING WATER WHILE
ENSURING LEAD SERVICE LINE
REPLACEMENTS ARE DONE WITH
INDUSTRY STANDARD HEALTH
PROTECTIONS SPECIFICALLY AB
NINETEEN THIRTY ONE THE ACT IN A
PARTIAL LINE REPLACEMENTS THE
BILL ADDITIONALLY AS IMPORTANT
AND NECESSARY HEALTH PROTECTIONS
TO AVOID LEAD EXPOSURE THE BILL
REQUIRES. SYSTEM WELL BEFORE
CONSTRUCTION BEGINS IT ALSO
RECALL. WATER WATER FILTERS TO
BE PROVIDED AND FINALLY THE BILL
REQUIRES PRE AND POST WATER
TESTING TO ENSURE THERE ARE NO
LEVELS OF LEAD IN RESIDENTIAL
WATER. THIS BILL IS IMPORTANT
BECAUSE WE CAN ALL AGREE THERE'S
NO SAFE LEVEL OF LEAD EVER. LET
IS ESPECIALLY DAMAGING TO
CHILDREN EVEN SMALL LEVELS CAN
CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE AND LONG TERM
NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE.
UNFORTUNATELY THE LEADS US LINES
DELIVER DRINKING WATER TO
MILLIONS OF HOMES IN THE STATE.
HAVE CORRODED OVER A MINUTE
RELEASE LEAD INTO DRINKING
WATER. UTILITIES ARE. FORMER
SEES REPLACEMENTS ARE OCCURRING
IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AB

VERY GOOD. LED FROM THE GOOD FOR
THIS GALVANIZED IRON IS KNOWN IN

THIS COMMERCIAL G. THANK YOU OF
SINCE SIR MISTER BENNETT IS
FILLING IN FOR MISERY OF US ALL
DIRECT THE QUESTION TO- MS
LITTLE- SO- COULD YOU RESPOND TO
THE MINISTRY TILDES CONCERNED
THAT THIS BILL ACTUALLY SLOW
THINGS DOWN IN TERMS. BUT
ABATEMENT WELL ACTUALLY I JUST
WANT TO POINT OUT THAT ACCORDING
TO TIMELINE SUBMITTED TO THE
WATER BOARD AT THIS POINT THIS
YEAR TWENTY TWENTY TWO ALMOST
HALF OF THOSE WATER SYSTEMS THAT
HAVE REPORTED LED LOCKS HAVE
ALREADY MOVED FORWARD AND
REMOVED THEIR LINES UNDER THE
SYSTEM THAT. YOU KNOW IT'S AN
WHAT WITHOUT. CONTROLS BY TWENTY
TWENTY SIX MORE THAN SIXTY SEVEN
ALMOST TWO THIRDS OF THE SYSTEM
WILL HELP SYSTEMS WILL HAVE
ALREADY REMOVED THEIR LINES. AND
THIS IS IN ADVANCE ESSENTIALLY
THIS HAPPENING PRIOR TO THE
FEDERAL. HIS ARE COMING UP. JUST
WHAT EFFECT TO TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR BEYOND AND IF THE SYSTEMS
HAVE REMOVED THEIR LEAD LINES
THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO COMPLY
WITH ANY FURTHER INVENTORY
REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE FEDERAL
LAW I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT ONE
THING THAT'S A BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN- THE DESCRIPTION OF THE
LEAD LINE REMOVALS THAT THIS.
THAT- THAT AND PRESENTED AND ARE
. INTERPRETATION OF THEM IS THAT
BASICALLY WHAT'S WHAT'S LOOK
WHAT'S MISSING IN THE CALIFORNIA
FRAMEWORK- IT'S THAT THE SCHEME
OF BLOODLINE REMOVALS. IS THAT
GALVANIZE LINES ATTACHED TO LED
FITTINGS WHICH- DOCTOR OLSON
FROM MICHIGAN TALKED ABOUT.
THOSE ARE NOT CONSIDERED LEAD
SERVICE LINES IN CALIFORNIA.
THEY ARE IN OTHER STATES LIKE IN
MICHIGAN AND SO DOES GALVANIZE
LINES THAT ARE NOW CONTAMINATED.
BY BEING A TOUCH LED FITTINGS.
ARE NOT SUBJECT TO REMOVAL OR
CONTROL OR CONTROL UNDER OUR
SYSTEM. THE WATER BOARD HAS
INDICATED THERE'S OVER FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND REMAINING
GALVANIZE LINES THE STATE. AND
MANY AT THAT THEY KNOW OF AND
THAT MANY AND WE KNOW THAT MANY
OF THOSE WOULD BE. AT OR HAVE
BEEN AT. AND STATE IS NOT. TO
DATE AND THAT'S WHAT AB NINE
NINETEEN THIRTY ONE IS TRYING TO
DO BY EXPANDING THE DEFINITION
OF A LEAD SERVICE LINE THAT THAT
IS SUBJECT TO THIS OVERSIGHT AND
PUBLIC HEALTH PROTECTIONS. SO
YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED THIS BILL
IS GOING TO SLOW DOWN EFFORTS
FOR LEAD ABATEMENT- NO NO. ACT
IT'LL IT'LL OUR POSITION IS THAT
IT WILL ACTUALLY- MOVE MOVE
THOSE SO MUCH HAS ALREADY BEEN
DONE BUT IN IN IN THE LIMITED
WAY RIGHT NOW THAT'LL ACTUALLY
MOVE- WILL MOVE THAT MOVE THE
LEAD ABATEMENT FORWARD BY- BY
REQUIRING THE SYSTEM WELL. THIS
COUPLED WITH THE POTENTIAL OF
THE FUNDING COMING FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NOW WHICH
ALLOWS SYSTEMS TO. PAY FOR IT
WILL BE OVER A BILLION DOLLARS
TO THE STATE WILL ALLOW SYSTEMS
TO PAY FOR FULL LEAD SERVICE
LINE REPLACEMENTS BUT IF WE
DON'T EXPAND THE DEFINITION THIS
WAY THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THOSE TIMES SO WE
WOULD SAY THEY JUST AREN'T. MOVE
FORWARD AS COMPREHENSIVELY AS
POSSIBLE WITH THE ASSISTANCE TO
USERS THANKS AND ALL JUST APPEAL
THE DAY WERE. JACK BUT- IN THE
END THE WATER BOARD A ALL OF
THIS AND IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT
THEY WILL EAT LETTER KNOW OR
THEY'LL BE A VETO SO- HE SIGHED
WITH THE- PROPONENTS- BUT THE
WATER BOARD WILL BE THE ULTIMATE
ARBITER OF THIS SAID. I HATE I
HAVE THEIR FIVE VERY DEDICATED
COMMISSIONERS GREAT STAFF. I
THINK THEY WILL MAKE A FINAL
DECISION AS TO WHAT HAPPENS ON
THIS WE THINK WE ARE WE THINK
THIS BILL IS ON TARGET. YOU
THINK IT WELL AS BEST WE CAN
TELL REALIZE MY STAFF YEAH. AND-
YES AND MY STAFF HAS A LOT OF
EXPERIENCE IN THIS AREA- BUT
AGAIN ULTIMATELY IT'LL BE THE
WATER PORT THAT WILL DECIDE AND
THEY'LL EITHER LIKE THE BILL OR
THEY WON'T. AND SO I'M NOT. IF
FOR SOME REASON. IT WOULD SLOW
IT DOWN THE WATER BOARD TO KNOCK
IT ALLOW PETS AND I BELIEVE AS
WAS JUST STATED HERE THAT'LL
SPEED UP AND YOU THINK IT'LL
SLOW IT DOWN AND- YOU KNOW I
THINK WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
AS CHAIR FEKIR BOB ON ON BEHALF
OF- OF THE AUTHOR BUT TO THE
EXTENT THAT THIS EXPANDS THE
DEFINITION OF RIGHT OF WHAT IS
COVERED IT THEREFORE EXPANDS THE
REVENUE THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR
THE ENTIRE VERSION. THAT IS A
WAY TO SPEED UP AB NOT MAY NOT
BE SPEEDING UP STUFF THAT WAS
ALREADY PLANNED BUT JUST BECAUSE
YOU'RE DOING SO MUCH MORE YOU'RE
SPEEDING UP STUFF THAT WOULD NOT
HAVE GOTTEN DONE AT ALL BECAUSE
IT EXPANDS. APPRECIATIVE THAT
COMMITTEE STAFFERS NODDING THEIR
HEAD THAT I GOT THAT RIGHT ON
BEHALF OF THE MYSTERY OF US
RIGHT NOW AND THERE IS ALSO TIME
TO WORK. WITH- THEY WERE. CEASE
M. THE AUTHOR AND ARE I HOPE
THAT YOU COULD COME TO AN
AGREEMENT BUT- SINCE THE
AUTHORIZATION HERE I WILL SPEAK
FOR HER AND SAY I KNOW SHE'LL
WORK WITH YOU ON THIS. ALL RIGHT
QUESTIONS. ALL RIGHT- WELL THEN
WILL WE TAKE WHAT YOU JUST SAID
IS A CLOSE- I HAVE- YOU HAVE A
CLOSE AND SO I THINK I SHOULD
SAY THAT SENSITIVE FOR BIG WORK
TARGET IT. ONE IS SLATED TO
RECEIVE BILLIONS DOLLARS THE
FEDERAL BIPARTISAN
INFRASTRUCTURE LAW FOR THESE
REPLACEMENTS. THE AMOUNT OF
FUNDING IS UNPRECEDENTED AND
MUST CAPITALIZE ON THIS UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY. THERE ARE MOVING
PIECES TO THIS BILL AND- I WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH MY
OPPONENTS THE WATER BOARD IN THE
ADMINISTRATION SHOULD JUST.
ADVANCE DAY RESPECTFULLY ASK
RIVAL WHICH TRIGGERED. SO I
THINK THIS BILL GOES IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION FOR REASONS
STATED BY PERMANENT- AND LET'S
SEE WE HAVE A MOTION YET. OKAY
ARAMBULA GARCIA- CHAU LET'S GO.
THIS IS ITEM TO. AB NINETEEN
THIRTY ONE LUCENT REVISE THE
MOTION IS DUE PASS AND RE REFER
TO THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS CORK BY CORK I
SMITH. ARAMBULA ARAMBULA I KALRA
. KALRA I'D BENNETT AYE BENNETT
AYE CRISTINA GARCIA CRISTINA
GARCIA I MATHIS. WHAT SAID SHE
WANTED TO CHECK AYE WALDRON. SIX
WE HAVE SIX VOTES SO THAT'S OUT-
GRADUATIONS. VERY GOOD AND THANK
YOU FOR PRESENTING THAT BELL
MISTER BENNETT. OKAY MYSTIKAL.
SIR YOU HAVE A LONG HISTORY.
YEAH YEAH. THIS.
IN HERE. I THINK YOU MISTER
CHAIR- WE HAVE CHAIR COURT. A.
B. TWENTY SIX THIRTY NINE. WHEN
OKAY ALL RIGHT. WELL THANK YOU
CHAIR PRO TEM. AND MEMBERS- AND
AGAIN YOU KNOW WE CAN'T DO
ANYTHING WITHOUT OUR STAFF BOTH
COMMITTEE STAFF AND- MY STAFF
MARIE CANAL WHO WAS BECOME AN
EXPERT. OR AT LEAST TALK TO THE
EXPERTS- HAS FOUND OUT A LOT
MORE ABOUT THE BAY DELTA ESTUARY
THEN I KNEW THAT WOULD LIKE TO
FIND OUT- SO THE- ESTUARY IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO
CALIFORNIA OF COURSE
PARTICULARLY WHERE I LIVE IN THE
AREA. IT TWENTY NINE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS IRRIGATION TO FOUR
AND A HALF MILLION ACRES OF
FARMLAND. AND CRITICAL HABITAT
FOR MANY NAY FOR NATIVE SPECIES
. STATE WATER BOARD IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR PROTECTING THE
WATER IN THE BAY DELTA BY
ADOPTING AND IMPLEMENTING WATER
QUALITY OBJECTIVES AS PART OF
THE BAY DELTA WATER QUALITY
CONTROL PLAN OR WE'LL JUST CALL
IT THE BAY DELTA PLAN. HOW ARE
THE LAST MAJOR UPDATE TO THE
PLAN WAS ADOPTED IN NINETEEN
NINETY FIVE TWENTY SEVEN YEARS
AGO. IN FACT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
UPDATED EVERY YEAR THREE YEARS
AND- THAT'S NINE UPDATED MISSED
NINE UPDATES MISSED. UP SINCE
THEN THE IMPACT OF DROUGHT AND
CLIMATE TO A CRISIS HAD BEGUN TO
WRECK HAVOC ON THE DELTA COUPLED
WITH OTHER FACTORS. THIS IS
TRIMMING SOME NATIVE FISH TO THE
BRINK OF PART OF- THANK CHEN AND
SOME TO EXTEND. WHEN THE WATER
BOARD STARTED THE MOST RECENT
UPDATE TO THE BAY DELTA PLAN IN
TWO THOUSAND DIED. THAT'S WHEN
THEY STARTED THIS PROCESS SO
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIRTEEN
YEARS AGO. YOU COULD STILL FIND
DELTA SMELT IN THE DELTA. BUT I
REMEMBER HEARING FROM EXPERTS
THEY SAID IF YOU DON'T DO
SOMETHING RIGHT AWAY THE SMELTER
GONE. AND THE SMELTER GONE- WILL
SMELL TO HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND IN
THE DELTA OF THE WILD FOR FOUR
YEARS THEY DO HAVE SOME IN THE
TANK. BUT CHAD THEY THIS IS ONE
OF THESE. SPECIES THAT EXISTED
IN VERY LARGE NUMBERS NOT AT ALL
CLEAR YOU COULD BRING THEM BACK
BY PUTTING IN A STARTER
POPULATION WHEN. IF THE DELTA IS
EVER GOING TO BE BETTER SO THEY
MAY BE GONE FOREVER. REPORTS BY
WHAT OUR LAW EXPERTS AND
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST OFFICE HE
FOUND THAT UPDATES DEBATE OUT TO
PLAN. ARE URGENT NEEDED TO
PROTECT CALIFORNIA MAKING WATER
DATA FISH AND THE WATERSHED
ITSELF FROM WORSENING THREATS
CLOSE BY THE CLIMATE CRISIS AND
DROUGHT. THE LACK OF MODERN
WATER QUALITY STANDARDS ALSO
HURTS LONG TERM PLANNING FOR
WATER PROJECTS BY CREATING
UNCERTAINTY IF THERE'S A PLAN
YOU CAN SAY I WANT TO DO X. AND
IT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE PLAN.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN THANK
YOU DO A- YOU YOU YOU REALLY
DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S GOING TO
BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THE
WATER BOARD WANTS TO DO. SO THIS
BOAT THIS BILL CO DEFIES THE
CURRENT GOAL OF THE STATE WATER
BOARD STAFF TO ADAPT AND
IMPLEMENTED UPDATE TO THE BELT
BAY DELTA PLAN BY THE END OF
TWENTY TWENTY THREE. IF THE
DEADLINES THIS PLANNER MESS THE
WATER BOARD. NOW UNDER THIS BILL
. YOU KNOW. IT'S TAKEN THIRTEEN
YEARS TO GET TO THIS POINT IN
THE MEANTIME WE'VE HAD ONE
SPECIES. COACH TANKED AND
SEVERAL OTHERS ON THE BRINK OF
EXTINCTION. SO IF THE DEADLINES
MIX MR GAS AND WE WERE JUST SAID
HERE IS YOUR DEADLINE. IT IT
JUST IT COULD IGNORE IT SO WE
HAVE A CONSEQUENCE. AND THAT
CONSEQUENCE IS THE THIRD BE A
PAUSE IN ISSUE WE KNEW WATER
RIGHTS THAT WOULD A DISH THAT
WOULD DIVERT ADDITIONAL FLOW
AWAY FROM THE DELTA. OUR HOPE
WOULD BE THAT HAVE THE PLAN DONE
IS STAFF SAID THEY COULD. I
THINK END OF THIS YEAR- BUT IF
THEY DON'T THEN THIS WOULD COME
INTO EFFECT WE FEEL THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WOULD IN FACT-
SPUR THE- THE WATER BOARD TO
COME TO THE CONCLUSION. THIS
TEMPORARY MORATORIUM AXES AN
INCENTIVE TO COMPLETE THE AB-
ADAPTION OF THE BAY DELTA PLAN
AND ENSURES THAT THESE WATER
RIGHTS PERMITS CAN BE ASSESSED
USING CONTEMPORARY STANDARDS. SO
ONCE YOU HAVE A PLAN YOU CAN
THEN SAY- YES THIS IS CONSISTENT
WITH THE PLAN WE CAN ISSUE THE
WATER RIGHTS. MOVING FORWARD I
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE OPPOSITION
TO AVOID UNINTENDED IMPACTS
PROJECTS IF POSSIBLE. AND AGAIN
WE- WE ARE ALLOWING RENEWAL OF
CURRENT WATER RIGHT SO IF YOU
EVER CURRENT WATER RIGHT YOU'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE THAT
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT.
THEY'VE COME TO THE NEW PLAN BUT
HOPEFULLY THEY WELL AND NONE OF
THIS WILL EVER GOING TO AFFECT.
IT YOU PROBABLY A NUMBER OF
YOU'VE DONE WHAT I DO WHICH IS
TO SET A DEADLINE FOR AN AGENCY
AND IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN. WITH
ME TOO. CLIFFORD LEVY WHO
PREVIOUSLY SERVED AS DEPUTY
ATTORNEY GENERAL AT THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
FOR FORTY YEARS. IN PERSON OR
ISSUE IS OKAY FROM WHAT COMES
DID YOU SO MUCH- DOCTOR CORK
AND- MISTER LEE. PLEASE
EVERYBODY YOU MAY GO AHEAD AND-
AND TESTIFY. SO THERE YOU ARE.
THANK YOU MISTER. AFTERNOON A-
MISTER CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE MEMBER
ARE- AMONG PERSONAL I WANT TO A
THIS SUMMER BY BY THE CHAIRMAN
IS EXCELLENT HI I'M JUST GOING
TO CUP COVER UP A COUPLE OF
SHORT ISSUES MY NAME IS CLIFF
LEE AND I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF
AB TWENTY SIX THIRTY NINE. I'M A
RETIRED CALIFORNIA DEPUTY
ATTORNEY GENERAL IS. OVER FORTY.
FOR YOUR WATER BOTTLE.
REPRESENTING AGENTS OF STATE CAL
- INCLUDING THE STATE COURT
LITIGATION OVER THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ONLY TWO
PRIOR WATER QUALITY CONTROL
PLANS. UP TO DENY SO. AND WHEN
IT DOES NOT NINETY FIVE ALL
WHICH RESORTED IN RESOLUTION IN
FRONT COURT OF APPEAL DECISIONS
ALTHOUGH ALTHOUGH I'VE DONE MOST
OF MY PROFESSIONAL WORK WITH THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE I'M
HERE ON MY BEHALF AND NOT ON
BEHALF OF ANY AGENCY THE CITY
CALIFORNIA OR- POINT. RECENTLY I
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH
A GROUP OF WATER RESOURCE
SPECIALISTS MANY OF THEM
ACADEMICS BUT OTHERS WERE WATER
PRACTITIONERS ON A PROJECT TO
REVIEW CALIFORNIA WATER RIGHT
SMALL FOR THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY. FIFTY THREE THE GROUP
RELEASED ITS REPORT WHICH
INCLUDES A RECOMMENDATION TO SET
A DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF THE
BAY DELTA WATER QUALITY PLAN UP
. EGGMAN AND IN THE CHURCH OF B.
TWENTY SIX THIRTY NOT. I WOULD
LIKE FOCUS ON ONE KEY REASON
SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION. BY
PROVIDING REGULATORY CERTAINTY
FOR PROPOSED PROJECTS THAT
DIVERT FROM THE BAY DELTA
WATERSHED. AB TWENTY SIX THIRTY
THIRTY NINE ALLOWS WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN THE
STATE TO MOVE FOR MORE PROMPTLY
TO COMPLETION IMPLEMENTATION NOW
WHY IS THAT SO- VIABILITY OF A
WATER PROJECT BUTTE A DIVERSION
TO GROUNDWATER STORAGE. WILD OR
SIR RESTORE. THE PROJECT A SPOON
OPERATING QUITE. JACKIE TO THE
COURSE PROD BENEFITS ARE IN THIS
LINKED TO PROJECT OPERATING
CRITERIA THE BAY DELTA WATER
QUALITY OBJECTIVES ARE AN
ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE
OPERATING CRITERIA FOR ANY
PROJECT TO DIVERT FROM THE INTEL
TO WATERSHED THEREFORE THE
VIABILITY OF ANY PROJECT
AFFECTING. THAT AFFECTS ALSO
DEPENDS UPON THE RESOLUTION OF
THESE OBJECTIVES. BY SETTING A
CALENDAR DEADLINE FOR THE BAY
DELTA PLAN UPDATES AB TWENTY SIX
THIRTY NINE PERMITS THE PROJECT
ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING OPERATING
CRITERIA TO MOVE FROM GUESSWORK
AND SPECULATION THE ACTUAL
REALITY THUS ALLOWING FOR THE-
INFORMED CONSIDERATION OF WATER
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS THAT ARE
NEEDED TO ADDRESS CALIFORNIA'S
WATER FUTURE. FOR THAT KEY
REASON I WOULD URGE BUT THIS-

CHAIR THERE IS NO ONE ELSE THANK
YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO BE
GOT- THE MIX OF THE CALLS IN
THERE THAT WANT TO COME BACK TO
THE ROOM FOR ANY PRIMARY
OPPOSITION WITNESSES. YEAH.
THANK YOU CHAIR KALRA IN MEMBERS
CINDY TECH WITH THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA WATER AGENCIES WE
HAVE AN OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
POSITION ON THE BILL AND THAT IS
FOR THREE REASONS AND I'LL COVER
THE THREE. SO FIRST JUST THAT
SUBDIVISION C. BE DELETED
THERE'S ONLY THREE SUBDIVISIONS
IN THE BILL SUBDIVISION FEES
SHOULD BE DELETED. THIS IS THE
PROPOSED CONSEQUENCE FOR THE
SITUATION IF THE WATER BOARD
MISSED THE TWO DEADLINES FOR
PROPOSED ACTIONS UNDER THE BILL
. THE PROBLEM IS THE CONSEQUENCE
WOULDN'T AFFECT THE WATER BOARD
WHAT IT WOULD D IS PUT ON HOLD
A TOOL THAT WATER MANAGERS NEED
AND THAT IS THE ABILITY TO
OBTAIN A WATER RIGHTS. FOR THE
DIVERSION OF WATER FROM THE
WATERSHED TO SURFACE WATER
STORAGE. ONE EXAMPLE UNDER THIS
THAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT IS A
POSSIBLE DELAY FOR THE SITES
RESERVOIR THAT'S A PROPOSITION
ONE PROJECT WHICH WOULD BENEFIT
SALMON. WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED
ABOUT THE DELAY OF PROJECTS IN
THE SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY THAT
WOULD PROVIDE OR HELP PROVIDE A
RELIABLE WATER SUPPLY FOR
COMMUNITIES IN THE VALLEY
PARTICULARLY WHEN THERE'S-
DECREASING GROUNDWATER PUMPING
UNDER SIGMA. SO THAT'S THE FIRST
ISSUE THE SECOND ISSUE IS THAT
THERE'S A SUBDIVISION AIM BE
GIVE PROPOSED DEADLINES FOR
WATER BOARD ACTIONS AND OUR
CONCERN IS THAT THE DEADLINES DO
NOT AFFORD ENOUGH TIME FOR
INCORPORATION OF WHAT WE WOULD
CALL AN INTEGRATED APPROACH
THROUGH AGREEMENTS. AND YOU MAY
HAVE SEEN JUST RECENTLY THE
GOVERNOR AND HIS ADMINISTRATION
ANNOUNCED THIS WAS ON MARCH
TWENTY NINTH A KEY MILESTONE FOR
THEIR WORK IN THIS AREA YOU'LL
HEAR MORE ABOUT THAT FROM MR
LINK. WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT
THE PROPOSED DECEMBER THIRTY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY THREE
DEADLINE FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE
FINAL BE DELTA PLAN UPDATE WE
THINK THAT WOULD. IN A LONG TIME
TO GET TO THIS FOR BUT WHEN
YOU'RE AT THE END YOU DON'T WANT
TO RUSH THE PUBLIC PROCESS FEES
THAT HAPPENED. AND WE'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT TO PROCESS ABOUT
ON STAKEHOLDER INPUT INTO THE
PROCESS SEES AND ONE OF THE
PROCESS USES THE SEEK WHAT PART
OF THIS THAT'S- A CRITICAL. THE
THIRD ISSUE IS THAT THERE'S A
PROPOSED DEADLINE FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF A PLAN
AMENDMENT THAT HAS BEEN ADOPTED
RECENTLY AND TO PLANT AMENDMENT
FOR THE LOWER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER
AND ITS TRIBUTARIES. AND FOR
THAT PLAN AMENDMENT THURS
ONGOING LITIGATION RIGHT NOW AND
WE THINK THAT THE AMENDMENT
IGNORES AT LITIGATE AND- TO GET
TO WHERE WE ONLY.
HONOR IS WORKING FOR. SO WE
RECOMMEND AMENDMENTS AS NOTED IN
OUR LETTER TO SUBDIVISION A AND
B. AND DELETION OF SUBDIVISION
C. BUT WITH THE BILL IN THE
CURRENT FORM THAT'S BEFORE YOU
TODAY WE URGE A NO VOTE THANK
YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU MEMBERS
ACURALINK WITH THE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA WATER ASSOCIATION-
CINEMA QUICKLY WHEN IF IT SAY
THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH US
AND SEE IF WE CAN FIND A
WORKABLE SOLUTION THAT BENEFITS
ALL- WE DO CONCUR WITH DOCTORS
ASSESSMENT AND STILL OF AN
OPPOSING. AMENDED ON AB TWENTY
SIX THIRTY NINE. WE HAVE SERIOUS
CONCERNS THAT THE BILL WILL
NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE RECENTLY
SIGNED HABITAT AGREEMENTS.

THAT'S JUST JUST JUST ONE QUICK
COMMENT ABOUT WHAT WHEN YOU HAVE
DIFFICULT THINGS TO DO- HE IS
ALWAYS EASY TO SAY WE NEED MORE
TIME WE NEED MORE TIME AND WELL
INTENTIONED PEOPLE. CAN FIND
THEMSELVES WHEN THEY'RE TRYING
TO PULL LOTS OF DIFFERENT GROUPS
TOGETHER BUT- I THINK WE HAVE TO
ASK OURSELVES WE'RE WAY PAST
DEADLINES AND WHERE WAS THE
SENSE OF URGENCY. WHEN WE WERE
COMING UP ON THOSE LINES THIS
WAS IT. TELL ASSEMBLY LIKE
DOCTOR CROKES BURKE ACTUALLY
COMES UP WITH A CONSEQUENCE AND
I APPRECIATE THE COMMENT THAT
THIS IS NOT A CONSEQUENCE FOR
THE WATER BOARD BUT CERTAINLY IF
THE WATER BOARD WANTS TO MAKE
SURE ALL OF THOSE NEGATIVE
THINGS YOU IDENTIFY THAT WON'T
HAPPEN- DON'T HAPPEN THEY NEED
TO GET MOVING AND M. AND- WORK
ON THE PLAN AND- SO I JUST THINK
AT SOME POINT TIME YOU HAVE TO
DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND AND HAVE
A CONSEQUENCE RATHER THAN JUST
HAVING AGENCIES. WITHOUT ANY
CONSEQUENCE AT ALL DISTRICT NOR
VIRTUALLY IGNORE DEADLINES- S.
AS A HAVE SO HIGH IN THIS AREA
IN PARTICULAR I THINK WE SEE
THIS JUST PATTERSON A GREAT DEAL

TIME SHARE- I. BEING AVAIL GUY
A. DEFINITELY HAVE VAST CONCERNS
WITH THIS EXPRESSION AS WE LOOK
AT WATER SUPPLIES WITH THE KID
FOLLOWING 30% OF AGRICULTURAL
PRODUCTION- WE LOOK AT WHAT
UKRAINE IS DOING WITH FOOD
SUPPLY GLOBALLY- AND IT'S VERY
DIFFICULT FOR ME IT AT THIS TIME
TO THINK OF. US PASSING ANY
MEASURE. THAT COULD POSSIBLY
CHANGE ANY FLOWS OF WATER SOUTH
INTO OUR AGRICULTURAL LANDS
ESPECIALLY. WHEN WE'RE LOOKING
AT FOOD SECURITIES GLOBALLY. YOU
KNOW PART PART OF ME IS REALLY
THINKING WE NEED TO BE DOING
MORE TO GET MORE WATER SUPPLY
DOWN THERE. AND LOOKING AT
INCENTIVES AND OTHER THINGS ON
THE AGRICULTURE SPACE TO COVER
DOWN WHAT WE'RE LOSING GLOBALLY.
AND MAY I KNOW THE THIS BILL AS
WELL INTENDED. I THINK MISTER
BENNETT'S POINTS ABOUT. KICKING
THE AGENCIES A LITTLE BIT TO GET
THAT ACTUALLY DO BUSINESS IS A-
MULTI. I DO THINK THIS IS SOME
THAT COMES TODAY- BECAUSE WE
WE'VE GOT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE
WATER FLOWING IN CAN'T HAVE
THINGS GETTING IN THE WAY OF
THAT AT THIS TIME THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. I'M IS THAT.
TRANSACTION IN A MOTION AND A
SECOND DR CORPUS ARTICLES YES
THANK YOU MISTER MATHIS BOB THIS
WOULD NOT AFFECT ANYTHING IN THE
CURRENT WATER SUPPLY- IT TOOK IT
WOULD AFFECT NEW- TAKING FROM
THE DELTA BUT IT SHOULDN'T
AFFECT YOUR AREA. IN THE LAST. I
UNDERSTAND YOUR OPPOSITION- THE
OTHER THING I'LL SAY IS THAT-
YOU KNOW THE OPPOSITION IS SAID
THIS CAN'T BE DONE ON TIME- THE
WATER WE HAVE- OPEN PHONE LINE.
TO THE WATER BOARD. THEY COULD
TELL US ANYTIME THAT THEY DON'T
LIKE THIS DEADLINE AND I WILL
CHANGE. OF WE HAVE AN OPEN LINE
TO THE GOVERNOR. IF THE WATER
BUT FEELS THAT THE VISA ISSUES
THAT WERE BROUGHT UP BY THE
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AGENCY CAN'T
BE RESOLVED IN TIME I'M SURE
THEY WILL LEAVE THE LET US KNOW
WHERE THEY WILL VETO IT. SILENCE
IS GOLDEN SO FAR NO ONE IS
SUBJECTING TO THE TIMELINE WE'VE
SET. UP THAT'S AS FAR AS I CAN
GET- UP WITH THE STAFFERS SAID
THEY CAN HAVE THE WORK DONE. AND
IF THEY OBJECTED IF THEY HAVE A
CONCERN THEY WILL REACH OUT TO
US OR THEY WILL VETO THE BILL SO
I'M NOT WORRIED. ABOUT THE
THINGS THAT YOU BROUGHT UP
BECAUSE I THINK THE WATER BOARD
IS JUST AS ANXIOUS TO HAVE THIS
ADDITIONAL WATER TO THE DELTA
