EXISTING LAWS RELATED TO ALCOHOL
CATERING CANNABIS CONSUMPTION
LOUNGES. ONE OF THESE AMENDMENTS
CLARIFY THAT RESTRICT UNDERAGE
CONSUMPTION OF CANNABIS. AND
PROVIDE THAT ALL CONSUMPTION
PRIVATE AND SHOULD BE SEPARATE.
AND HIDDEN FROM UNDERAGE GASES
BUILD REQUIRE. CANNABIS
CONSUMPTION INDICATOR PRIVATE
EVENT OCCUR IN A RESTRICTED
AREA. THE COMPLIES THE SAME AGE
RESTRICTIONS AS CONSUMPTION
CONSUMPTION LOUNGES AND LICENSE
TEMPORARY EVENTS- AND FOR THE
MORE BY CREATING THIS LICENSE BE
SURE THAT. THAT THAT THERE CAN
BE A CATER PRESENT A CANNABIS
PRODUCTS ARE LIKE CLEARLY
LABELED AS CANNABIS. AND THE

NO MISTAKING THE PRODUCT- THIS
CREATES A SAFER ENVIRONMENT IS
MUCH MORE REGULATORS OPPOSE WHAT

ACTUALLY ASK FOR IDEAS- WOULD
USE AND WOULD DO IT WOULD BE IT
WOULD. YES ASSEMBLY MEMBER DO
YOU EVEN MORE RESTRICTIVE IN
THAT IF YOU GO TO A WEDDING
USUALLY OPEN BARS ARE KIND OF
EVERYWHERE IN THIS CASE WOULD
ACTUALLY NOT ONLY OF HAVE
SOMEONE THAT WOULD HAVE TO
ENSURE THAT SOMEONE'S OF AGE BUT
IT WOULD BE A SEPARATE- A
SEPARATE RESTRICTED AREA OF THE
COMPLIES WITH THOSE A MAJOR
SECTIONS OF IT AND JUST TO BE
CLEAR THE REASON WE DID THAT
THAT THE REASON WE- ACCEPTED
MOVES FORTH REPORT REGULATION
WHEN NONE EXISTS BECAUSE CURLY
RIGHT NOW PEOPLE WHO NOT ONLY
TAUGHT REGULATORS NO WAIT A-
MODERATE THIS WILL PUT IN STRONG
RULES AND FRAMEWORK AROUND IT SO
THAT THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
IN THE ABSENCE OF THIS IS
ALREADY HAPPENING SO HE'S DOING
IS PUTTING A FRAMEWORK
REGULATION AND THOSE CONCERNS I
SHOULD BE ADDRESSES CITED A BIT

AT THIS TIME THANK YOU WE HAD AN
INTENT TO DO A FIRST IN THE
SECOND EARLIER NEEDED TO RECEIVE
THEM NOW I CAN'T REMEMBER THAT.
MISTER LOW AND- MR DAILY. YES IN
IT BUT THIS IS JUST A QUESTION
WILL BE REQUIRED TO CONSUME
CANNABIS IN THAT RESTRICTED AREA
OR THE CONNECTICUT WITH MINGLE.
OUT THE- IN THAT AREA. YEAH IT'S
SIMILAR TO- OTHER TYPE ABOUT WE
ARE BASING PATTERN AND FRANKLY
REALLY APPRECIATE BOTH THE BNP
COMMITTEE AS WELL AS THIS
COMMITTEE A CONSULTANTS FOR
CHEAPER FOR MAKING A LANGUAGE
MUCH MORE CLEAR BUT IT REQUIRED
CANNABIS CONSUMPTION ALLOCATOR
PRIVATE EVENT TO OCCUR IN A
RESTRICTED AREA THE COMPLIES THE
SAME AGE RESTRICTIONS OF
CONSUMPTION LOUNGES A LICENSE
TEMPORARY EVENTS SO WE'RE
ALIGNING IT WITH OTHER. TYPES OF
SIMILAR TYPE CONTENT BUT IT DOES
HAVE TO BE CONSUMED IN THAT
AREA. BUT WHAT WHAT I WONDER IS
FOR INSTANCE IF YOU HAVE IT AN
INDOOR AREA WHERE THEY'RE DOING
IT. AND THEN THEY'RE SELLING-
FLOWER- YOU KNOW THE ACTUAL
CANNABIS ITSELF. AND THEY'VE SB
SMOKED. BECAUSE HE CANCELED
INDOORS. HOW'S THAT DONE YOU
HAVE TO SEPARATE THE SMOKING
AREA. THE AREA WHERE IT'S GIVEN
TO THE- INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE
HOW DO YOU. RECONCILE THAT WHAT
THE RESTRICTED AREA. REGARDLESS
THE SOFT COMPLY WITH OUR INDOOR
SMOKING WILL ALSO THEY HAVE AN
OUTDOOR AREA THAT THEY CAN
CREATE INTEREST ACTED AREA.
THAT'S FINE IT IS INDOORS OR TO
HAVE TO BE EMBEDDABLE OR OTHERS
OTHER FORM OTHER THAN SMOKE.
SURE SUCH I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT IS NOT WHERE. THEY'RE
THEY'RE SERVED INDOORS. AND THEN
OKAY GOT SMOKELESS. IN THE
OUTDOORS BUT IS NOT MONITORED
YEAH THAT COULD THAT COULD
HAPPEN TO I MEAN COULD THEY
COULD DESIGNATE AREA. FOR
SMOKING BUT IS NOT MONITORED AND
SO I THINK WE NEED TO. IT I
WOULD SUGGEST TO HAVE SOMEONE IN
THAT AREA TO MONITOR IT. THE
BOTH AREAS THE SENATE. WELL I.
IF I IF I COULD MISS RICHARD
IDEAS THAT IF IT'S- IF THEY HAVE
AN OUTDOOR AREA THAT IS THE WAS
THE RESTRICTED AREA IT WOULD
HAVE TO BE CONSUMED IN THAT
AREA- IF IT'S AN INDOOR AREA IT
WOULD HAVE TO BE EDIBLE OR
SOMETIME BEFORE THE DOESN'T HAVE
SMOKE- BUT TO YOUR POINT YOU
KNOW IT IT JUST LIKE ANY OTHER.
SMOKING OR SMOKING LAWS WILL
HAVE TO BE ABIDED BY IN THIS
CASE. FOR THIS CONSUMPTION AT AN
EVENT WOULD HAVE TO HAPPEN IN A
RESTRICTED AREA. IF THERE IS NOT
AN OUTDOOR RESTRICTED AREA THEN
IT WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. THE
SMOKE. THE SMOKING OF THE FORM
OF- CONSUMPTION. OKAY THANK YOU.
WE'RE NOT RECOMMENDING ANY
MINUTES BUT MAYBE SOMETHING THAT
THE THAT THE AUTHOR WANTS TO
CONSIDER DOWN THE LINES TO MAKE
IT CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT THAT
DOESN'T CONTINUE TO. POP UP AS

MUCH HIGHER WORLDWIDE.
TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBRANCE
SEEKS TO HIGHLIGHT THE LOSSES WE

RECOGNITION CREATES A SPACE
WHERE TRANSGENDER PEOPLE LIVING
IN RURAL AREAS WHERE DON'T WHERE
THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO
ORGANIZE TRANSGENDER DAY OF
REMEMBRANCE EVENTS STILL HAVE
THEIR GRIEF RECOGNIZED BY THE
STATE. IT ALSO SENDS A MESSAGE
TO TRANSGENDER AND GENDER
NONCONFORMING CALIFORNIANS THAT
THEY LIVE IN A STATE THAT VALUES
THEIR LIVES AT A TIME WHEN OTHER
STATES ARE WORKING TO FURTHER
MARGINALIZE THEM VIA ANTI TRANS
LOTS. AT THE STATE WE MUST
CONTINUE TO CENTER THE NEEDS OF

EVENTS. AND CARRY A LOT OF
WEIGHT FOR OUR COMMUNITY AND FOR
US AS INDIVIDUALS AS WELL IN
TWENTY TWENTY I LOST A VERY DEAR
FRIEND TO ANTI TRANSGENDER
VIOLENCE AND SOMEONE WHO'S
