GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. WELCOME
TO THIS MORNING'S ASSEMBLY
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONS
COMMITTEE HEARING. WE HAVE EIGHT
BILLS ON ON TODAY'S HEARING
AGENDA, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING
TWO BILLS ON CONSENT AS BEFORE.
OH, ONE BY SENATOR PAN AND SB 10
87 BY SENATOR GONZALEZ. FOR EACH
BILL HEARD TODAY WILL BE
ALLOWING PRIMARY WITNESSES TO
SPEAK FOR UP TO TWO MINUTES EACH
WITH UP TO TWO PRIMARY WITNESSES
PER SIDE. FOR THOSE WISHING TO
PROVIDE FURTHER COMMENTS WERE
ACCEPTING WRITTEN TESTIMONY
THROUGH THE POSITION LETTER
PORTAL ON THE COMMITTEE'S
WEBSITE. IN ADDITION TO HEARING
FROM THOSE HERE IN THE ROOM
TODAY, WE WILL BE USING A
MODERATED TELEPHONE SERVICE
THROUGH WHICH ANY WITNESS CAN
TESTIFY ON A BILL. THE CALLING
NUMBER FOR THIS HEARING IS
87769289. 57 AGAIN. THAT'S
87769289. THE ACCESS CODE IS
185011. AGAIN. THE ACCESS CODE
IS 18501100. YOU CAN ALSO FIND
THIS NUMBER ON THE COMMITTEE'S
WEBSITE AS WELL AS ON TV. IF YOU
WERE CALLING IN, PLEASE PLAN TO
DO SO AS THE AUTHOR OF THE BILL
. YOUR TESTIFYING ON IS
BEGINNING THERE. BILL
PRESENTATION WITH THAT SAID IT
WILL BEGIN TODAY'S HEARING WITH
A SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS,
WHICH IS SB 13 75. BY SENATE
PROTEST ACTIONS.
THANK YOU. UM, THANK YOU, MR
CHAIRMAN AND WHAT A REALLY NICE
ROOM. THIS IS WELCOME. I FIRST
OFF. WANNA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HOLDING, ALLOWING ME THE
COURTESY TO GO AT 9 30. I REALLY
APPRECIATE IT. SO MR CHAIRMAN,
VICE CHAIR AND COLLEAGUES I WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
TO PRESENT SP 13 75 AND I ALSO
WANT TO THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE STAFF, YOUR INCREDIBLE
STAFF FOR YOUR THOUGHTFUL WORK
ON THIS BILL. I'D LIKE TO ACCEPT
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
OUTLINED ON PAGES, 14 AND 15 OF
THE ANALYSIS AND AGAIN THANK YOU
FOR THAT WORK. TODAY WE SEE IN
STATE HOUSES AND COURTHOUSES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY ALL THE WAY
UP TO THE SUPREME COURT. THAT
OUR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE NOT
ONLY BEING THREATENED. BUT FOR
SO MANY THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN
TAKEN. ONCE AGAIN, WOMEN ARE
BEING PUSHED TO EXTREME MEASURES
TO ACCESS ABORTION CARE AND
OTHER STATES. ONCE AGAIN, THEY
FACE HAVING TO PUT THEIR BODIES
IN DANGER. THE SUPREME COURT'S
IMPENDING DECISION ON A CASE
THAT WILL DESTROY ROW VERSUS
WADE AND DERAIL REPRODUCTIVE
FREEDOM IN AMERICA IS BIGGER
THAN THIS ONE BILL, AND IT
STANDS TO HAVE A VERY REAL
IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF MANY OF
OUR MOST VULNERABLE INDIVIDUALS
AND COMMUNITIES. THAT DECISION
WILL CARRY THE WEIGHT OF
MILLIONS OF WOMEN WHO WILL NOT
HAVE THE AUTONOMY OVER THEIR OWN
BODIES. IT'S A DECISION THAT
WILL IMPACT WOMEN, FAMILIES AND
OUR COUNTRY FOR DECADES TO COME.
AND ONCE AGAIN WE IN CALIFORNIA
FIND OURSELVES SAYING NOT HERE.
NOT NOW AND NOT WHILE WE HAVE
THE ABILITY TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT. THIS IS A DECISION WE
NEED TO PREPARE FOR IN EVERY WAY
THAT WE CAN AND SB 13 75 IS PART
OF THAT PREPARATION. BY GIVING
MORE TRAINED AND QUALIFIED NURSE
PRACTITIONERS THE ABILITY TO
PROVIDE FIRST TRIMESTER
ABORTIONS WITHOUT THE
SUPERVISION OF DR SB 13 75 IS A
PROACTIVE STEP TO FURTHER
INCREASE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE
QUALITY REPRODUCTIVE CARE IN
CALIFORNIA. CALIFORNIA HAS LONG
BEEN A LEADER IN REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS. BUT THE PRACTICAL NEED
TO ENSURE REAL REAL EQUITABLE
ACCESS TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITIES
IS REALLY FAR FROM COMPLETE. ONE
EARLY STEP I TOOK WAS AUTHORING
A B 1, 54 AND 2013 TO EXPAND THE
TYPES OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.
WHO CAN PERFORM FIRST TRIMESTER
ABORTIONS WITH THE SUPERVISION
OF A DOCTOR TO INCLUDE NURSE
PRACTITIONERS. IN SEVEN YEARS
LATER, THE LEGISLATURE PASSED A
B 8 90, AUTHORED BY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER DR WOOD AND CREATED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR QUALIFYING
NURSE PRACTITIONERS TO CARE FOR
PATIENTS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION
OF A DOCTOR. AND NOW WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LAWS CAN
WORK TOGETHER IN UNISON. SB 13
75 WOULD MAKE IT CLEAR THAT
NURSE PRACTITIONERS WHO PRACTICE
INDEPENDENTLY CAN ALSO PROVIDE
FIRST TRIMESTER ABORTIONS
WITHOUT PHYSICIAN SUPERVISION.
THE BILL CLARIFIES THAT, AMONG
OTHER CRITERIA, NURSE
PRACTITIONERS NEED THREE YEARS
OF EXPERIENCE UNDER A PHYSICIAN
IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE
INDEPENDENTLY. ADDITIONALLY
AMENDMENTS MADE TO THE BILL IN
THE SENATE REMOVED BARRIERS IN
CURRENT LAW THAT MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR ADVANCED PRACTICE
. CLINICIANS TO ACCESS TRAINING
FOR ABORTION CARE. THAT WAS THE
DILEMMA WITH MAYBE 1 54.
ADVANCED PRACTICE. CLINICIANS
PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN
PROVIDING REPRODUCTIVE CARE BY
REMOVING BARRIERS TO ABORTION
TRAINING AND ALLOWING
EXPERIENCED NURSE PRACTITIONERS
TO UTILIZE THEIR FULL TRAINING
AND EDUCATION. SP 13 75 WILL
EXPAND THE NUMBER OF QUALIFIED
REPRODUCTIVE CARE PRACTITIONERS
, PARTICULARLY IN AREAS LACKING
ACCESS TO CARE. SB 13 75 BUILDS
OFF OF THE SUCCESS OF A B 1 54
AND A B 8 90 TO FURTHER
STRENGTHEN AND EXPAND ACCESS TO
REPRODUCTIVE CARE. I'LL ALSO
LIFTING UP A WORKFORCE OF
SKILLED NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND
GIVING THEM MORE OPPORTUNITIES
TO CARE FOR THEIR PATIENTS.
SMALL TIME SEEMS TO BE MOVING
FORWARD IN MANY PLACES ACROSS
THE NATION. THIS BILL WOULD HELP
CALIFORNIA CONTINUE MOVING
FORWARD I HAVE WITH ME TODAY. A
NUMBER OF WITNESSES. UH, MR
CHAIRMAN UM AND THEY ARE
PREPARED TO TESTIFY AND ALSO
TAKE QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS. I
WILL RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY. GREAT THANK YOU
VERY MUCH AND QUICKLY BEFORE WE
GET TO TWO TESTIMONY. I JUST
WANT TO DO A QUICK PUBLIC
SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR ANY
MEMBERS OF THE BNP AND THEIR
STAFF WHO ARE WATCHING. WE ARE
ONE AWAY FROM A QUORUM. SO
PLEASE FIND YOUR MEMBER BRING
HIM TO 1100. SO WE CAN ESTABLISH
A QUORUM AND THEN THEY CAN GO TO
EVERYTHING ELSE. THEY HAVE TO DO
THIS MORNING. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. PLEASE GO AHEAD IN
WHICHEVER ORDER YOU PREFER TWO
MINUTES PER WITNESS. THANK YOU
TO THE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSING SP 13
75 TODAY. UM, AND THANK YOU TO
PRO TEM ATKINS FOR YOUR
CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AND
LEADERSHIP ON REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH ISSUES AND EXPANDING
ACCESS TO CRITICAL HEALTH
SERVICES. MY NAME IS JENNIFER
KERNS. I AM AN O B G Y N
POSITION. ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF OBSTETRICS,
GYNECOLOGY AND REPRODUCTIVE
SCIENCES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA, SAN FRANCISCO, ALSO
THE DIRECTOR OF THE COMPLEX
FAMILY PLANNING FELLOWSHIP AT
UCSF, WHERE I HELPED TO TRAIN
OTHER O B G. Y N S IN CLINICAL
CARE, RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
SURROUNDING ABORTION AND
CONTRACEPTIVE CARE. I'VE BEEN A
PHYSICIAN FOR 18 YEARS COMPLETED
MY RESIDENCY IN OBSTETRICS AND
GYNECOLOGY AT COLUMBIA
UNIVERSITY AND HAVE BEEN
PRACTICING AT UCSF SINCE. UM,
SINCE 2008. AS PART OF MY WORK
AS A PHYSICIAN. I WORK IN THE
ABORTION CLINIC AT SAN FRANCISCO
GENERAL HOSPITAL. I ALSO
TRAVELED TO OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS
TO PROVIDE ABORTION SERVICES FOR
PEOPLE TRAVELING ACROSS STATE
LINES. AND IN BOTH OF THESE
ROLES I WORK AS PART OF AN
INTERDISCIPLINARY TEAM COMPOSED
OF PHYSICIANS, NURSE
PRACTITIONERS, NURSE MIDWIVES
AND OTHERS TO ENSURE THAT
PATIENTS ARE RECEIVING THE CARE
THAT THEY NEED. THERE'S A LONG
STANDING WORKING RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN NURSE PRACTITIONERS AND
PHYSICIANS, ESPECIALLY IN THE
ABORTION AND REPRODUCTIVE CARE.
SPACE NURSE PRACTITIONERS ARE
EXPERTS IN THEIR SCOPE OF
PRACTICE. AND THERE HAVE BEEN
COUNTLESS TIMES WHEN I'VE RELIED
ON THEIR EXPERTISE IN TREATING
PATIENTS. AS WE ALL KNOW. OTHER
STATES HAVE ALREADY SEVERELY
CURTAILED ABORTION ACCESS, AND
THE SUPREME COURT IS POISED TO
ALLOW FURTHER RESTRICTIONS HAVE
ALREADY SEEN AN INCREASE IN
PATIENTS COMING FROM OTHER
STATES TO GET ABORTION CARE. THE
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN STRUGGLING BEFORE
THIS FOR A LONG TIME TO GET CARE
TO OVER 40% OF COUNTIES IN
CALIFORNIA DO NOT HAVE A CLINIC
OR PROVIDER THAT PROVIDES
ABORTION SERVICES. IN SAN
FRANCISCO. WE SEE PATIENTS
TRAVELING, YOU KNOW, UP TO EIGHT
HOURS TO COME TO SAN FRANCISCO
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE
ANY ACCESS IN IN THEIR AREAS. SB
13 75 WOULD ALLOW NURSE
PRACTITIONERS TO EXPAND ACCESS
TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE FOR
THESE CALIFORNIANS AND ALSO FOR
PEOPLE TRAVELING TO CALIFORNIA
TO RECEIVE THESE VITAL AND THIS
VITAL AND RESTRICTED CARER.
NUMEROUS RESEARCH STUDIES HAVE
SHOWN THAT NURSE PRACTITIONERS
WHO ARE TRAINED CAN SAFELY
PROVIDE ABORTIONS ON PAR WITH
THEIR PHYSICIAN COUNTERPARTS.
FIRST TRIMESTER. ABORTION IS NOT
A COMPLICATED PROCEDURE. IT IS A
VERY SIMPLE BASIC PROCEDURE. UM
AND NURSE PRACTITIONERS ARE, UM
IT IMMENSELY QUALIFIED TO DO
THESE PROCEDURES. I SEE PEOPLE
FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE WHO NEED
ABORTION CARE, BUT I ONLY SEE
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY MAKE
IT INTO THE CLINIC THERE. UNTOLD
NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IN THE U. S,
BUT ALSO IN CALIFORNIA, WHO ARE
UNABLE TO ACCESS THE CARE THAT
THEY NEED. SIMPLY BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT AN ACCESSIBLE
PROVIDER NEAR THEM. FOR MANY
PEOPLE TAKING TIME OFF OF WORK,
FINDING CHILDCARE GATHERING
FINANCES TO TRAVEL FOR AN
ABORTION ARE PROHIBITIVE AND
THESE PEOPLE ARE LEFT WITH
CONTINUING AN UNWANTED PREGNANCY
. TWO MINUTES OR ACTUALLY, AT
THIS 20.3 MINUTES FLIES BY
FASTER THAN YOU REALIZE IF YOU
COULD. YOU COULD JUST WRAP UP
THAT BIG. FANTASTIC THANKS SO
MUCH EXPLAINING THEIR SPEC.
TITIAN'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE THIS
CARE THROUGH SB 13 75 AND BY
ALLOWING EXPERIENCED NURSE
PRACTITIONERS TO DO SO SOON,
MORE PATIENTS WILL BE ABLE TO
ACCESS THE CARE THAT THEY NEED.
ANDTHERE'S NO TIME MORE
PRESSING THAN THE THAN THE
PRESENT TO EXPAND ABORTION
ACCESS IN CALIFORNIA. NURSE
PRACTITIONERS JUST FINISHING UP
OUR SMART, CAPABLE, TRAINED,
SAFE AND WILLING TO WORK TO MAKE
MAKE SURE THAT PATIENTS GET THE
CARE THAT THEY NEED. I SEE IT
FIRSTHAND EVERY DAY AS I WORK
ALONGSIDE THEM. I RESPECTFULLY
URGE YOU TO VOTE YES ON THIS
IMPORTANT BILL, WHICH WOULD
ENSURE ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY
CARE SOMETHING THAT'S A PRIORITY
FOR ALL OF US. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. GOOD MORNING CHRISTI WEEKS
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION FOR NURSE
PRACTITIONERS IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL. WE ACTUALLY HAVE OUR
SECOND PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
RESPECTIVE SHIN, WHO IS ON THE
WITNESS LINE. OKAY, GREAT. LET'S
GO TO THE WOULD LIST WOULDN'T WE
HAVE A WARM SNEAKING IN THIS?
NO. OKAY LET'S GO TO THE PHONE
LINES I THINK WE'RE LOOKING FOR
IS IT? UH W BAM, BAM BURGER? IS
THAT RIGHT? HAMBURGER? YEP.
PERFECT. READY WHEN YOU ARE
WONDERFUL MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE. I'D LIKE TO
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO
HEAR AND DISCUSS THIS IMPORTANT
BILL AND WE PRODUCTIVE HEALTH
ISSUE TODAY, AND I'D ALSO LIKE
TO THANK THE PRO TEM FOR HER
LEADERSHIP AND COMMITMENT TO
EXPANDING ACCESS TO ABORTION
SERVICES. MY NAME IS DEBBIE
BAMBERGER. I'M A WOMEN'S HEALTH
NURSE PRACTITIONER AT PLANNED%
PARENTHOOD IN EAST OAKLAND AND A
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION FOR NURSE
PRACTITIONERS MEMBER. I'M ALSO
AN ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER FOR
TEACH, WHICH IS TRAINING IN
EARLY ABORTION FOR COMPREHENSIVE
HEALTH CARE. I'VE BEEN
PRACTICING NURSE PRACTITIONER
FOR 28 YEARS AND RECENTLY
COMPLETED MY DOCTORATE IN
NURSING PRACTICE AT UCSF. IN MY
WORK AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD. I
PROVIDE FAMILY PLANNING,
GYNECOLOGY AND ABORTION SERVICES
. BOTH MEDICATION AND ASPIRATION
. I WAS THE FIRST NURSE
PRACTITIONER IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TRAINED TO DO
ASPIRATION ABORTION. ONE SENATOR
ATKINS PREVIOUS BILL, MAYBE 1 54
WAS MADE LAW. ALLOWING
SUPERVISED MPS, PHYSICIAN
ASSISTANTS AND NURSE MIDWIVES TO
PROVIDE ABORTION SERVICES TO OUR
PATIENTS. AT MY CLINIC. WE SERVE
A DIVERSE URBAN POPULATION, WITH
PATIENTS COMING FROM ALL
SURROUNDING AREAS TO RECEIVE
CRITICALLY NEEDED REPRODUCTIVE
CARE, AND BECAUSE OF THE ATTACKS
ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL IN ANOTHER STATE.
I'M ALREADY SEEING PATIENTS FROM
TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA, TRAVELING
HALFWAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO
GET AN ABORTION PROCEDURE THAT
TAKES ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. THE 13
75 INCREASE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE
HIGH QUALITY ABORTION AND
REPRODUCTIVE CARE BY CONTINUING
THE INTENT OF TWO PREVIOUS BILLS
. MAYBE 1 54 AND MAYBE 8 90.
BECAUSE A V 8 90 GAVE CALIFORNIA
MPS THE ABILITY TO PRACTICE
WITHOUT PHYSICIAN'S SUPERVISION
. SEARCHING 75 WOULD SIMPLY
BRING THE STATUTE ALLOWING MPS
TO PROVIDE FIRST TRIMESTER
ABORTION IN LINE WITH ALL OF THE
OTHER HEALTHCARE GROUP SERVICES
AND PS CAN OFFER. SINCE THE
PASSAGE OF SENATOR ATKINS
PREVIOUS BILL 81 54 2013 MPS ARE
STRUGGLING TO FIND PROVIDERS WHO
WILL TRAIN THEM AS MANY OF THE
TRAINING PROCEDURES ARE GIVEN TO
POSITION RESIDENTS RATHER THAN
OTHER PROVIDERS. THERE'S A
PARTICULAR LACK OF TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES IN AREAS LIKE
FRESNO AND BAKERSFIELD. P 13 75
WOULD NOT ONLY INCREASE ACCESS
TO THESE SERVICES BUT WOULD
EXPONENTIALLY GROW THE PROVIDER
POOL SINCE EXPERIENCED AND PS
COULD TRAIN OTHER MPS ON
ABORTION PROCEDURES. THERE IS NO
REASON THAT ABORTION SHOULD BE
TREATED DIFFERENTLY FROM OTHER
PROCEDURES NTS PROVIDES EVEN
BEFORE A B 8 90. I WAS PROVIDING
ABORTION CARE AND SERVING
PATIENTS FOR MY SUPERVISOR
POSITION WAS NOT PHYSICALLY
PRESENT OFTEN HOURS AWAY. I KNOW
MY LIMITATIONS. I KNOW WHEN TO
CONSULT OTHER PROVIDERS, AND I
KNOW WHEN TO CALL FOR HELP. AT
THE 13 75 WILL ALLOW ME TO
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE ABORTION
SERVICES WITHOUT THE UNNECESSARY
STANDARDIZED PROCEDURES THAT
LIMIT THE NUMBER OF MPS WHO CAN
PRACTICE GREAT AND IF YOU CAN
WRAP UP I APOLOGIZE IF YOU WRAP
UP, THAT WOULD BE FANTASTIC.
THANKS. OKAY PERFECT. SO PASSING
SB 13 75 WILL ALLOW HIGHLY
TRAINED AND QUALIFIED NURSE
PRACTITIONERS TO ALLEVIATE THE
HEAVY WORKLOAD THAT IS CARRIED
BY OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.
AND THAT IS DETRIMENTAL TO
PATIENT CARE. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE ON THIS IMPORTANT
, BILL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THAT
BEFORE WE MOVED TO PRIMARY
WITNESSES AND OPPOSITION AND
WE'RE GONNA WELL, LOOKS LIKE WE
HAVE A QUORUM. MR SECRETARY, CAN
YOU PLEASE TAKE THE ROLL? BERMAN
HERE, LARA. WANT TO CALDERON.
CHEN CUNNINGHAM, DOLLY FUN.
FRIEDMAN. GARCIA GIBSON.
GRAYSON. ERWIN LEE MCCARTHY,
MEDINA. THING, WEBER. WICKS.
GREAT. SO WE'VE GOT A QUORUM.
UH, MEMBERS. MAKE SURE TO MAKE
IT BACK BY THE END OF THE
HEARING TO VOTE APPRECIATE YOU,
UH, LET'S MOVE ON TO PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION, AND IT
LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE JANICE ROCCO
WITH CM A WHO'S UH, TESTIFYING
IN PERSON AND KATRINA REYES WITH
THE CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF FAMILY
PHYSICIANS ALSO TESTIFYING. IN
PERSON YOU EACH HAVE HAVE AT
THIS POINT, WE'LL SAY
APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES EACH.
I'M NOT GOOD AT MY JOB. THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS. I'M
JANICE ROCCO, SENIOR VICE
PRESIDENT FOR GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS AT THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND A PROUD
MEMBER OF THE FUTURE OF ABORTION
COUNCIL. CMA ON BEHALF OF OUR
ALMOST 50,000 MEMBERS, HAS LONG
BEEN A CHAMPION FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT OF ACCESS TO
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE,
INCLUDING ABORTION. AND WE
SUPPORT A SET OF BILLS AND
BUDGET PRIORITIES THIS YEAR THAT
WE HELPED DEVELOP IN THE FALL AS
A PART OF THE FUTURE OF ABORTION
COUNCIL. THOSE BILLS AND BUDGET
PRIORITIES, STRENGTHEN AND
EXPAND ACCESS TO ABORTION. BUT
THIS BILL GOES BEYOND ABORTION
AND ITS SCOPE. AND IT IS THAT
PORTION OF THE BILL TO WHICH WE
ARE OPPOSED. SECTION TWO OF THE
BILL, DELETES THE STATUTORY
REQUIREMENT THAT THE BOARD OF
REGISTERED NURSING DEFINED
MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR TRANSITION
TO PRACTICE FOR NPS TO WORK
INDEPENDENTLY. AN IMPORTANT
PATIENT PROTECTION THAT WAS
CREATED BY A B 8 90 ENACTED JUST
LAST YEAR. THE INCLUSION OF
SECTION TWO OF THE BILL
OVERRIDES THE WORK DONE BY THE
BOARD OF REGISTERED NURSING TO
SET STANDARDS FOR NURSE
PRACTITIONERS TO PRACTICE
INDEPENDENTLY AND SECTION TWO OF
THE BILL IS IN NO WAY RESTRICTED
TO ABORTION SERVICES. WHICH IS
WHY YOU HAVE MEDICAL SPECIALTY
SOCIETIES THAT ARE NOT INVOLVED
WITH ABORTION SERVICES WHO ARE
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL. THE BRN IS
THE APPROPRIATE VENUE FOR
SETTING MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR
NPS TO TRANSITION TO PRACTICE
INDEPENDENTLY, AND THE BRN HAS
BEEN WORKING WITH NUMEROUS
STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING NPS
PHYSICIANS, OTHER MEDICAL
PROVIDERS. CONSUMERS AND PATIENT
ADVOCATE GROUPS FOR THE PAST
YEAR AND A HALF TO CRAFT THOSE
REGULATIONS. WE SUPPORT SECTION
ONE OF THIS BILL TO EXPAND THE
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR MPS
WHO SEEK TO PERFORM FIRST
TRIMESTER ASPIRATION ABORTIONS.
AND AFTER FULFILLING TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS SET BY THEIR
LICENSING BOARD, THE BRN BE ABLE
TO DO SO INDEPENDENTLY, AND WE
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT THE AUTHOR TOOK
TODAY. BUT WE MUST CONTINUE TO
SEEK AMENDMENTS TO THE BILL SO
THAT THE PATIENT PROTECTIONS
THAT ARE UNRELATED TO ABORTION
THAT WERE PUT IN PLACE BY A B 8
90 OR NOT SACRIFICED. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. MY CHAIR
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. BETWEEN
ARRAYS, VICE PRESIDENT ADVOCACY
AND POLICY FOR THE CALIFORNIA
ACADEMY OF FAMILY PHYSICIANS.
I'M ACTUALLY JUST HERE TO ANSWER
ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS BUT
SIMILAR TO CMA. WE HAVE AN
OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED POSITION
. WE DO HAVE A LONG STANDING
HISTORY OF SUPPORTING EFFORTS TO
IMPROVE ABORTION ACCESS. OUR
ISSUE IS WITH SECTION TWO, WHICH
WE BELIEVE GOES BEYOND THE SCOPE
OF ABORTION ACCESS AND HOPING TO
WORK WITH THE AUTHOR ON
AMENDMENTS TO THAT SECTION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
WITH THAT WILL GO TO ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES. LET'S DO

VERY MUCH WANT TO BRING IT BACK
TO COLLEAGUES FOR ANY QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS? COLLEGE MIGHT HAVE
STARTING ON MY LEFT. MAKING MY
WAY, PLEASE. DR WEBBER. GOOD
MORNING. UH SENATOR ATKINS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, UH,
VERY IMPORTANT. UM. THIS BILL
THAT ADDRESSES A VERY IMPORTANT
ISSUE, WHICH IS ACCESS FOR
PEOPLE TO GET ABORTION SERVICES
, EXPANDING ACCESS FOR PEOPLE TO
GET ABORTION SERVICES HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. UM I'D LIKE TO THANK
YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR WORKING
ON THE BILL. I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE STAFF AS WELL.
BECAUSE THE INITIAL BILL DID
HAVE SOME PARTS THAT WERE VERY
CONCERNING BECAUSE IT DID NOT.
REQUIRE THAT, UM THE NURSE
PRACTITIONER ACTUALLY HAVE ANY
HANDS ON CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
SUPERVISED BY SOMEONE. PRIOR TO
BEING ABLE TO GO OUT AND YOU CAN
LEARN A LOT FROM BOOKS AND
WATCHING VIDEOS, BUT YOU REALLY
NEED TO HAVE THAT HANDS ON
EXPERIENCE SUPERVISED. SO THANK
YOU ALL FOR PICKING THAT UP AND
THANK YOU, SENATOR ATKINS FOR
TAKING THOSE AMENDMENTS. UM I
WILL SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY. I
TWO OF THE BILL. UM I KNOW THAT
A LOT OF OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE CONCERNS. I WILL JUST VOICE
ONE OF MINE AND I KNOW I
DISCUSSED IT WITH YOU AS WELL
ALREADY. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
UM, THAT SPECIFICALLY STATES
THAT A NURSE PRACTITIONER HAS TO
BE PRACTICING IN THE AREA IN
WHICH THEY ACTUALLY HAD THEIR
TRAINING. SO I SEE THE THREE
YEARS EQUIVALENT OF 4600 HOURS.
BUT I'M A NURSE PRACTITIONER AND
I DO MY TRAINING IN PEDIATRICS.
AND THEN WHEN I'M CERTIFIED TO
GO OUT AND PRACTICE AND
SUPERVISED. I'M NOW IN O B G Y N
THAT'S NOT SOMETHING WHERE YOU
HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED ANY KIND
OF CLINICAL TRAINING OR
SUPERVISION, AND I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING SPECIFIC THAT STATES
THAT YOU NEED TO GO OUT AND
PRACTICE. IN THE AREA IN WHICH
YOU RECEIVED YOUR CLINICAL
TRAINING. UM AS AN O B G Y N. I
DON'T CARE HOW LONG I'VE BEEN
PRACTICING IF I DECIDE I WANT TO
GO INTO PSYCHIATRY. I HAVE TO GO
BACK AND DO A THREE YEAR
RESIDENCY IN PSYCHIATRY. SO I
THINK WE'RE PATIENT SAFETY,
ESPECIALLY FOR THE PLACES WHERE
THEY WERE MOST LIKELY GO, WHICH
ARE RULE AND UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES. WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT THAT THEY DO HAVE THAT
TRAINING, SO I'M GOING TO, UM
SUPPORT THIS TODAY TO LET IT
CONTINUE, AND I JUST HOPE THAT
YOU ALL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
SOME OF THE OPPOSITION AND SOME
OF THE OTHER. PEOPLE TO KIND OF
CLEAN UP SECTION TWO. THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR THIS. UM PLEASE GO
AHEAD. WELL, I'LL BE QUICK. UM,
I THINK WHAT WE DID INCLUDE IN
THE BILL. UM MAKES REFERENCE TO
INCLUDING SPECIFIC AREAS OF
CONCENTRATION, BUT I WILL SAY TO
DR WEBBER AFTER OUR CONVERSATION
THAT WAS ONE OF THE TWO
OUTSTANDING ISSUES. I THINK THAT
IN OUR CONVERSATIONS THAT WE
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON. WE
HAVE BEEN OPENED THROUGHOUT THIS
PROCESS. YOU'VE SEEN US TAKE
AMENDMENTS IN THE SENATE. WE
TOOK AMENDMENTS TODAY. YOU KNOW,
I WANT THE BEST PIECE OF
LEGISLATION POSSIBLE AS WE BRING
THESE TWO BILLS TOGETHER IN
CONCERT IN UNISON, SO THOSE
ISSUES ARE UM, CERTAINLY
EXPERIENCE IN THE RIGHT
SPECIALTY. I UNDERSTAND. I USED
TO BE AN ADMINISTRATOR IN A
CLINIC. I UNDERSTOOD THE
DIDACTIC AND CLINICAL
EXPERIENCE. HANDS ON. WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS AND
KEEP YOU APPRISED IN THAT REGARD
. THE OTHER ISSUE WHICH WILL
COME UP, OBVIOUSLY, IS THE
TRANSITION TO PRACTICE AND THE
PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THE
GRANDFATHER IS THAT IS SOMETHING
I COMMITTED TO THE CHAIR. THAT I
WOULD KEEP HIM IN THE LOOP AND
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS AGAIN.
UH THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
I'M PROUD OF THE WORK WE'VE DONE
THUS FAR, BUT I HEAR YOU AND I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM, I
BELIEVE, REMEMBER WICKS. THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR. I WANT TO THANK
THE PROTEST FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD AND YOUR ONGOING
LEADERSHIP IN THIS SPACE,
PARTICULARLY IN THIS MOMENT OF
TIME THAT WE ARE IN RIGHT NOW,
UM, I'M I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY AND WILL HAVE TO BE
ADDED AS A CO AUTHOR. AND WHILE
I RECOGNIZE THE CONCERNS RAISED
BY THE OPPOSITION I HAVE NO
DOUBT OUR AUTHOR HILL HERE WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS%
TO MAKE, AS YOU JUST SAID THE
STRONGEST BILL POSSIBLE. UM, I
ALSO WANT TO POINT OUT THE FACT
THAT WE ARE PREPARING FOR, UH, A
MASSIVE SHIFT IN THIS COUNTRY IN
TERMS OF ACCESS TO CARE FOR
FOLKS WHO NEED SAFE AND LEGAL
ABORTION. UM CALIFORNIA'S
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM STATE FOR
ALL AND WE HAVE TO PREPARE FOR
THAT AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS
ENSURING THAT WE HAVE THE
CAPACITY SO THAT FOLKS CAN
ACCESS THE CARE THAT THEY NEED,
WHO MANY OF WHOM WILL PROBABLY
BE COMING FROM OTHER STATES.
GIVEN WHAT WE EXPECT TO HAPPEN
WITH ROE V. WADE. IS SOMEONE WHO
HAS SOUGHT THIS CARE. UM I KNOW
HOW IMPORTANT TIMELY ACCESS TO
QUALITY AND SAFE CARE IS
IMPORTANT. UM UH AND CRITICAL.
UM IN ADDITION TO THE FOLKS THAT
POTENTIALLY MAY BE COMING FROM
OUT OF STATE, WE HAVE ACCESS
ISSUES HERE FOR OUR OWN
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS AND YOU
NEED TO BE ADDRESSED, THE SAN
FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WROTE ABOUT
THIS TODAY. UM YOU KNOW, I GREW
UP IN A RURAL PART OF THE STATE,
AND, UM, I KNOW THAT MANY OF OUR
RURAL COUNTIES DON'T EVEN HAVE
ANY ACCESS TO ABORTION CARE. AND
SO, UM, I THINK THIS IS A SMART,
SENSIBLE BILL AGAIN. I HAVE NO
DOUBT YOU'LL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH OPPOSITION, BUT A CRITICAL
ONE. GIVEN WHAT OUR ROLE IS IN
THIS COUNTRY TO ENSURE THAT WE
HAVE THE ACCESS THAT WE NEED. UM
AND I'D BE HONORED TO BE ADDED
AS A CO AUTHOR, AND REALLY THANK
YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP. THANK
YOU REMEMBER WICKS? THE OTHER.
YES, MR MEDINA. SOMEBODY NHÀ.
ROE VERSUS WADE, I THINK WAS
DECIDED WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE,
AND I THOUGHT, WELL, YOU KNOW,
IT'S BEEN DECIDED NOW SUPREME
COURT RULED AND IT'S THE LAW OF
THE LAND, AND I SUPPORTED IT
THEN AND I SUPPORT IT NOW. AH,
AND I AM VERY, UM TAKEN BACK BY
THE ATTACKS ON ON ROE VERSUS
WADE THROUGHOUT THE US BUT I DO
HAVE THE CONCERN THAT I'VE HEARD
HERE EXPRESSED. I THINK BY TWO
OTHER MY COLLEAGUES AND THAT IS
ON THE ON THE PART OF TRANSITION
TO PRACTICE. BUT BUT, SENATOR,
UM. I THINK I HEARD YOU SAY THAT
I CAN TAKE YOU AT YOUR WORD THAT
YOU WILL ADDRESS THAT AS THE
BILL MOVES FORWARD.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ABSOLUTELY THAT
IS MY GOAL. I KNOW THAT THESE
ARE SCOPE OF PRACTICE ISSUES AND
A B 8 90 WAS NOT AN EASY BILL.
AH TO GET APPROVED AND PASSED IN
THE LEGISLATURE. IF WE SUPPORT
SECTION ONE RELATED TO ABORTION
, AND YET SECTION TWO IS
DISJOINTED, AND WE DON'T FIND A
PRACTICAL WAY. I CAN TALK ABOUT
ROE VERSUS WADE ALL DAY AND HOW
THAT FEELS. YOU KNOW, BUT I WANT
TO TALK ABOUT THE PRACTICAL
NATURE. YOU CAN TAKE ME AT MY
WORD. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO MY
BEST TO GET WHERE WE NEED TO GO
TO ENSURE SAFETY TO MAKE SURE
THE RIGHT KIND OF TRAINING IS
INCLUDED IN THIS. AND THAT WE
ARE EXPANDING HEALTHCARE, BUT I
WOULD LEAVE YOU WITH ONE
EXAMPLE. IF I AM A PRACTITIONER
THAT BY LAW ALREADY HAS THE
ABILITY TO DO AN ASPIRATION
ABORTION. AND WE GO INTO
AFTERCARE. AH AND AFTERCARE PART
OF THE PRACTICE. I WILL LEAVE IT
TO THE DOCTORS AND THE
PRACTITIONERS TO RESPOND. AT
THAT POINT, YOU'RE COUNSELING
THE PERSON ON CONTRACEPTION. AND
YET ALL OF A SUDDEN, YOU NOW
HAVE YOUR HANDS TIED. I WANT TO
MAKE THIS PRACTICAL. I WANT TO
MAKE IT WORK AND I WANT TO MAKE
IT REAL. WE ARE. WE ARE IN THIS
JOURNEY TO GET TO THE TRANSITION
OF PRACTICE. WE ARE ALREADY
UNDERWAY IN TERMS OF PROVIDING
ABORTION, SO I WILL DO
EVERYTHING TO HONOR THE
COMMITMENTS I HAVE MADE HERE
TODAY TO THE CHAIR. TO YOU AND
TO DR WEBBER AND TO THE
STAKEHOLDERS. ABSOLUTELY. WELL I
THANK THE SENATOR FOR THAT. UM
YOU KNOW, MY 10 YEARS HERE? I
DON'T THINK I'VE EVER VOTED
AGAINST, UH, A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO
CHOOSE OR ANY BILL THAT THAT IS,
UH, THAT GOES AGAINST THAT. BUT
I DO VERY MUCH RESPECT. UM YOU
KNOW MY OWN DOCTORS IN RIVERSIDE
HAD A CONVERSATION AS EARLY AS
FRIDAY WHEN I WAS ACTUALLY IN MY
DOCTOR'S OFFICE. AH, DISCUSSING
THIS BILL, BUT I TAKE YOU AS
YOUR WORD. AND AS MUCH AS I
RESPECT, UH, C M A AND THEIR
THEIR OPINION. I KNOW THAT YOU
WILL REACH A GOOD PLACE OR I
WILL SUPPORT THIS BILL AT THIS
TIME. SENATOR I RESPECT CMA TO
LET ME JUST LET THE RECORD
REFLECT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
REMEMBER ANY ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS?
COLLEAGUES ON THE COMMITTEE.
SEEING NONE. UH MADAM PRESIDENT
WOULD LIKE TO CLOSE MR.
CHAIRMAN, I THANK YOU. AND UM I
WOULD CLOSE BY SAYING WE HAVE
DOCTORS, PRACTITIONERS WHO ARE
WORKING WITH ADVOCATES, HEALTH
ADVOCATES ALL TRYING TO GET TO
THE SAME PLACE, SO I LOOK
FORWARD. WE HAVE THE MONTH OF
JULY. IN WHICH TO ADDRESS SOME
OF THESE OUTSTANDING CONCERNS,
AND I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO ENGAGE
WITH ANY MEMBER OF THE
LEGISLATURE AND STAKEHOLDERS TO
FURTHER THIS, SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE TODAY. HAVE
EMOTION IN A SECOND. THANK YOU,
MADAM PRESIDENT FOR BRINGING
FORWARD THIS VERY IMPORTANT BILL
AND FOR YOUR STEADFAST ADVOCACY
FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS AND
ACCESS TO CARE FOR YOUR ENTIRE
TIME IN THE LEGISLATURE AND IN
YOUR CAREER PRIOR TO PUBLIC
SERVICE. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING
THE TIME TO MEET WITH ME
PERSONALLY TO DISCUSS THE
HISTORY OF THESE TRAINING
PROGRAMS AND HOW IMPORTANT THIS
ISSUE IS TO YOU. I OBVIOUSLY
FULLY SUPPORT INCREASING ACCESS
TO ABORTION CARE WHEREVER WE
CAN. PARTICULARLY WITH THE
HORRIFYING REALITY OF THE
SHIFTING LANDSCAPE NATIONALLY
AND IN OTHER STATES, AND THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AND WHAT
YOU'RE DOING IN OTHER STATES. UH
THAT SAID, I ALSO APPRECIATE OUR
DISCUSSIONS ON THE OTHER PARTS
OF THE BILL. RELATED TO THE
BUREAU OF REGISTERED NURSING AND
THE TRANSITION OF PRACTICE ISSUE
. SPECIFICALLY I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE DISCUSSING
THE GRANDFATHERING PROVISIONS
AND I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR
COMMITMENT TO KEEPING THE
CONVERSATION GOING. UM WHICH IS
THE NUMBER OF YEARS OF
EXPERIENCE THAT A NURSE
PRACTITIONER SHOULD HAVE IN
ORDER TO SKIP THE SPECIFIC
TRANSITION OF PRACTICE TRAINING
, AND I WAS PROUD CO AUTHOR OF A
B 8 90. UH AND IN A B 8 90. THE
THREE YEAR TRANSITION AND
PRACTICE SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES.
I THINK IT'S ADDITIONAL QUOTE,
ADDITIONAL CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
AND MENTORSHIP PROVIDED TO
PREPARE A NURSE PRACTITIONER TO
PRACTICE INDEPENDENTLY, AND I
THINK I THINK THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT. I WORRY THAT A NURSE
PRACTITIONER JUST AS THREE YEARS
OF EXPERIENCE, BUT DOESN'T DO
THE TRANSITION TO PRACTICE MIGHT
NOT BE GETTING THAT THAT, YOU
KNOW, KIND OF IMPORTANT LEVEL OF
MENTORSHIP AND CLINICAL
EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO THEN
BECOME AN INDEPENDENT. NURSE
PRACTITIONER. AH SO APPRECIATE
CONTINUING TO, UH, HAVE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THAT ISSUE.
I KNOW. WE ONLY HAD TIME TO TAKE
SOME OF THE CLEANUP AMENDMENTS
TO THE ABORTION TRAINING UNDER
THE UNDER THE BILL. CLEANUP BUT
IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS TO THE
ABORTION TRAINING UNDER THE BILL
, BUT DEFINITELY LOOK FORWARD TO
ONGOING CONVERSATIONS ON THE
TRANSITION OF PRACTICE PEACE.

THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS. PLEASE
HAVE BUILT PRESENT SP 10 97,
WHICH DUCK CONSUMER SAFETY,
PARTICULARLY SAFETY FOR TEENS,
YOUNG ADULTS AND INFANTS DURING
PREGNANCY. WE KNOW THEIR BRAINS
ARE STILL DEVELOPING, DEVELOPING
AND UNFORTUNATELY, CANNABIS CAN
HAVE SOME LONG TERM DAMAGING
EFFECTS SUCH AS INHIBITION
MEMORY, LAST COGNITIVE PAYMENTS,
PSYCHOSIS. AND SO WHAT'S
IMPORTANT IS THAT PEOPLE ARE
AWARE OF THAT. THIS LEGISLATION
IS BASED ON SCIENCE REQUIRED
DEPARTMENT CAN BE CONTROLLED TO
CREATE A WARNING DEVICE
CONSUMERS POTENTIAL ADVERSE
MENTAL HEALTH REACTIONS ALSO
BROCHURE THAT FOR SAFER USE FOR
NEW CUSTOMERS. SO, UM. SB 10 I
SEVEN'S ABOUT THE BETTER

UM ARRESTS FOR FROM CANNABIS
HAVE FALLEN 96% THIS IS A
TRIUMPH FOR EQUITY AND FOR
HEALTH, BUT THE PICTURE IS NOT
ALL ROSY. R CANNABIS MARKETPLACE
FREELY DIVERSIFIED FROM 5% THC
WEED TO 30% OF FLOUR TO A VAST
ARRAY OF TURBOCHARGED CHEMICAL
EXTRACTS. AND A SUPERMARKET OF
LUSCIOUS BUT CONFUSING EDIBLES.
UNLIKE ALCOHOL, MANY FOLKS
SIMPLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO
EXPECT. MY MOST CAN GET HIGH AT
A PARTY WITHOUT HARM. A
SIGNIFICANT MINORITY DO NOT
DAILY USE TRIPLED IN CALIFORNIA
AND USE DURING PREGNANCY NEARLY
DOUBLED. CANNABIS RELATED ER
VISITS ROSE 53% IN THREE YEARS.
149,000 IN 2019 ALONE. YOUTH
WITH PSYCHOTIC BREAKS FROM
CANNABIS WAIT DAYS FOR PSYCH
BEDS, HARD CYCLIC VOMITING FROM
HEAVY USE THIRD GRADERS PASSING
OUT FROM CANNABIS, CHEETOS
SUICIDE AND CRASH VICTIMS
HELPLINE OUR EMERGENCY ROOMS.
INCREASINGLY SOLD AS MEDICINE
AND MARKETED AS A WELLNESS
PRODUCT. PUBLIC AWARENESS OF
HARMS, WHICH ARE ALSO
UNCONTROVERSIAL AND WELL
RECOGNIZED BY THE NATIONAL
ACADEMIES OF SCIENCE IN THE N I
H HAS PLUMMETED. YOUTH WITH
MENTAL ILLNESS DON'T KNOW THEY
MAY MAKE THINGS WORSE RATHER
THAN BETTER, AND PREGNANT WOMEN
ARE SOLD CANNABIS FOR NAUSEA
WHEN IN FACT IT IS QUITE HARMFUL
TO THE INFANT. CURRENT WARNINGS
ARE INVISIBLE AND DO NOT SPEAK
TO THE MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS.
THAT'S WHY CALIFORNIA'S DOCTORS
. PEDIATRICIANS OBESE ER, DOC'S
EDITION SPECIALISTS LOS ANGELES
AND CALIFORNIA, SANTA CLARA
COUNTIES. PFIZER AND OTHERS WHO
WILL SPEAK TODAY. PUBLIC HEALTH,
YOUTH AND CHILDREN'S LEADERS BEG
YOU TO PASS THIS BILL. IT WILL
MAKE VETTED INFORMATION ON
SIMPLE STEPS FOR SAFER USE, LIKE
START LOW AND GO SLOW AND
CAUTIONS ON KEY HEALTH RISKS,
INCLUDING MENTAL HEALTH
AVAILABLE IN EVERY RETAILER AND
OFFERED TO EACH NEW CONSUMER. BY
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS WERE NOT OUR
PREFERENCE CO SPONSORS BELIEVE
THE BILL IS STILL AN URGENTLY
NEEDED STEP FORWARD. WE HOPE IT
SIGNALS THE DAWN OF MORE
COLLABORATIVE CANNABIS POLICY
MAKING THAT INCLUDES PUBLIC
HEALTH CONCERNS. THE YOUNG
ATHLETE WHO DOES NOT HAVE THAT
PSYCHOTIC BREAK. THE FATHER WHO
DOESN'T HAVE THAT CAR ACCIDENT.
THE BABY BORN HEALTHY. THESE ARE
THE SILENT VICTORIES WE HOPE FOR
IN PUBLIC SERVICE AND SP 10 97
PROVIDES YOU THAT OPPORTUNITY.
NO ONE SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR
CANNABIS, BUT NO ONE SHOULD LAND
IN OUR HOSPITALS, EITHER. WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I VOTE
. THANK YOU, AND I'M HANDING TO
MR BRIGHT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HI. GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU FOR
HAVING ME. MY NAME IS BART.
BRIGHT MY SON KEVIN WAS A GOOD
STUDENT, EXCELLENT PIANO PLAYER,
AND HE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF
HUMOR. HE STARTED USING CANNABIS
CASUALLY OVER TIME, AND THAT
USING HIGHER AND HIGHER POTENCY
THC. MANY TIMES A DAY. THE
JOINTS AND BOWLS TRANSITION TO
SHATTERS DABS AND OTHER CANNABIS
CONCENTRATES. HE DEVELOPED
CANNABIS USE DISORDER. MY WIFE
AND I HAD NO IDEA THAT TODAY'S
HIGH THC CANNABIS THERE'S
NOTHING LIKE THE CANNABIS OF OUR
YOUTH. KEVIN DIDN'T REALIZE THAT
WHAT HE CALLED MEDICINE. WAS
GIVING HIM CANNABIS INDUCED
PSYCHOSIS. VOICES IN HIS HEAD
WERE THREATENING HIM, BERATING
HIM AND MAKING HIM ANGRY. KEVIN
TOOK HIS LIFE. ON AUGUST 14TH
2018. HE WAS 29 YEARS OLD. SOME
OF HIS LAST ARTICULATE WORDS, HE
SAID TO ME, WE'RE CANNABIS HAS
RUINED MY LIFE. KEVIN I HELP AND
SUPPORT FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST
AT LAST BUT HAVE LOVED ONES
SUFFERING FROM CANNABIS USE
DISORDER. AND CANNABIS INDUCED
PSYCHOSIS. OUR SUPPORT GROUP HAS
OVER 900 MEMBERS. ALSO REFER
PEOPLE WITH CANNABIS USE
DISORDER TO MARIJUANA,
ANONYMOUS. MARIJUANA ANONYMOUS
HAS THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS WITH
FOUR OVER 440 MEDIANS EVERY
WEEK. IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE'S ALSO A PRIVATE FACEBOOK
GROUP CALLED CANNABINOID
HYPEREMESIS SYNDROME. MANY
TIMES, REFERRED TO AS CHS. IT'S
CALLED CANNABINOID, HYPER METIS
CINEMA RECOVERY. WITH OVER
17,000 MEMBERS. AND THAT'S WHERE
PEOPLE. THEY USE IT FROM USING
TOO MUCH CANNABIS. THEY STARTED
VOMITING OVER AND OVER, AND THEY
CAN'T STOP AND MANY OF THEM END
UP IN EMERGENCY ROOMS. WE THINK
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. CONSUMERS
KNOW THAT TODAY'S HIGH POTENCY
CANNABIS IS NOT HARMLESS WIFE
AND I WISH THE POTENTIAL MENTAL
HEALTH RISKS WOULD HAVE BEEN
MADE CLEAR ON EVERY CANNABIS
PRODUCT WHEN OUR SON WAS ALIVE.
IT'S TOO LATE FOR OUR SON,
KEVIN. NOT TOO LATE FOR OTHERS
IF YOU APPROVE SB 10 97. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET'S
MOVE TO ANY WIT, PRIMARY
WITNESSES AND OPPOSITION. I
BELIEVE WE'VE GOT TO FOLKS IN
PERSON. AMY JENKINS WAS C C I A
AND RAN MARTIN WITH THE PARENT
COMPANY. HUGE 12 MINUTES. FOR
WITNESS. MM. GOOD MORNING, MR
CHAIRMAN, COMMITTEE MEMBERS, AMY
JENKINS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CANNABIS INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION. I WANT TO BEGIN BY
THANKING THE CHAIR AND COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR TREMENDOUS WORK
TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS RAISED
BY SEA CIA. AND ARE NUMEROUS
COALITION ALLIES, WHICH INCLUDE
OTHER CANNABIS TRADE
ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESS CONSUMER
PATIENT AND VETERANS GROUPS AND
HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUAL CANNABIS
COMPANIES. WE ARE TRULY GRATEFUL
FOR YOUR WORK. FOR SOME TIME WE
HAVE HEARD THE PROPONENTS OF
THIS BILL SITE AN INCREASE IN
CANNABIS USE AMONG YOUTH A LACK
OF INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH HIGH THC.
OR IT'S FROM A LOGICAL EFFECTS
ON INDIVIDUALS WITH CERTAIN
MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS. IN
RESPONSE TO THESE CONCERNS, WE
HAVE REAFFIRMED OUR COMMITMENT
TO WORKING WITH THE LEGISLATOR,
REGULATORS AND STAKEHOLDERS. TO
DEVELOP MEANINGFUL AND SENSIBLE
SOLUTIONS THAT PROMOTE
RESPONSIBLE USE. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT SISI A. ALONG WITH
MANY OF OUR COALITION ALLIES,
PROACTIVELY WORKED WITH THE
LEGISLATURE. STATE REGULATORS,
CONSUMERS AND SCIENTISTS TO
DEVELOP THE STATE'S EXISTING
LABELING REQUIREMENTS FOR
CANNABIS. WE HAVE ALSO
CONSISTENTLY SUPPORTED AND
PROMOTED ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS
TO FUND CONSUMER EDUCATION AND
AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS TO BETTER
INFORM CANNABIS CONSUMERS ABOUT
HOW TO IDENTIFY LICENSED
CANNABIS BUSINESSES AND PRODUCTS
AS WELL AS THE RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE LISTED PRODUCTS IN
IRRESPONSIBLE USE. UNFORTUNATELY
AS WE 10 9 TO 10 97 DOES NOTHING
TO UTTER DETER ELICIT USE OF
CANNABIS BUT WILL INSTEAD LIKELY
IMPOSED NEW COSTS ON THE
REGULATED INDUSTRY. THIS WILL
FURTHER EMBOLDENED AND EMPOWERED
THE ILLICIT BUSINESSES THAT
NOTORIOUSLY CELL AND TESTED AND
SAFE, MISLABELED AND HIGH
POTENCY PRODUCTS TO MINORS. IN
CLOSING. IT'S IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT 28STATES WITH
LEGAL CANNABIS FRAMEWORKS,
INCLUDING CALIFORNIA DEEMED
CANNABIS BUSINESSES AS ESSENTIAL
FOR PUTTING THE LEGAL CANNABIS
INDUSTRY IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS
PHARMACIES, HOSPITALS AND OTHER
SOURCES OF LEGITIMATE MEDICINE.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE FORGOTTEN.
LICENSED CANNABIS INDUSTRY IS
PROUD OF THE HIGH STANDARDS OF
TESTING, LABELING AND THE
RIGOROUS PROTOCOLS ALREADY IN
PLACE TO SUPPORT THE INTEGRITY
OF THE LEGAL CANNABIS MARKET
AGAIN. WE SINCERELY APPRECIATE
THE COMMITTEE'S WORK TO IMPROVE
THE BILL. AT THE SAME TIME WE
CHECK OBJECT TO THE LACK OF
PARITY WHEN COMPARED TO OTHER
PRODUCTS THAT ARE AGE RESTRICTED
, WHICH ARE DEMONSTRABLY MORE
UNSAFE AND THE USE OF LIMITED
SCIENCE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF
CRITERIA FOR THE BROCHURE. FOR
THESE REASONS, WE MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
RAND MARTIN ON BEHALF OF THE
PARENT COMPANY, WHICH IS BASED
IN SAN JOSE, BUT HAS OPERATIONS
FROM CHULA VISTA TO EUREKA. UM,
FIRST WE ALSO REALLY APPRECIATE
THE WORK OF YOU, MR CHAIR AND
YOUR STAFF. TO NARROW THIS BILL
SUBSTANTIALLY. BUT UNFORTUNATELY
LIKE C C I, C C A. WE RAMON
REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE BILL. I
WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT
THIS INDUSTRY FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING OF PROP 64. CONSUMER
SAFETY WAS AN IMPORTANT PART OF
THAT THE INDUSTRY WROTE THE
STANDARDS WORKING WITH THE STATE
THAT'S A CURLY IN THE LAW,
WORKED WITH THE STATE FURTHER AS
REGULATIONS WERE ADOPTED THAT
EXPANDED AND REFINED AND
STRENGTHEN THOSE CONSUMER SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
US AS AN INDUSTRY NOT ONLY FROM
OR WHAT'S GOOD TO THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA, BUT GOOD FOR
BUSINESS. WE DON'T WANT TO LOSE
OUR CUSTOMERS BECAUSE THEY'RE
NOT GETTING THE WARNINGS THAT
THEY NEED TO GET, SO IT'S
IMPORTANT TO US. WE ARE ALSO
CONCERNED, THOUGH, THAT A BILL
LIKE THIS ADDS TO THE PROBLEM
RATHER THAN FIXES THE PROBLEM.
UM THERE IS PLENTY OF RESEARCH
OUT THERE THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT
THE MORE YOU OVER WARN PEOPLE
THE LESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PAY
ATTENTION, THE BEST EXAMPLE. AND
I THINK IF ANYBODY IS IN THIS
ROOM IS HONEST WITH THEMSELVES
IS PROP 65 IS THAT WE SIMPLY DO
NOT PAY ATTENTION TO PROP 65
WARNINGS ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY
ARE SO UBIQUITOUS. UM AND
THERE'S RESEARCH THAT ACTUALLY
BACKS THAT UP. WE DON'T WANT THE
SAME THING TO HAPPEN TO OUR
WARNING LABELS THAT HAS HAPPENED
TO PROP 65. WE WANT PEOPLE TO
PAY ATTENTION TO IT. AND EVEN
THOUGH THE BILL HAS AMENDED
WOULD ONLY ADD MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES TO THE TO THE WARNING
LABEL. THAT IS ONE MORE PIECE OF
INFORMATION THAT HAS TO BE ADDED
TO A VERY DENSELY PACKED PACKAGE
NOW ON TOP OF WHICH YOU'VE
ALREADY PASSED A BILL BY MS
RIVAS THAT WOULD ADD ANOTHER
WARNING LABEL, AND THE STATE IS
ALREADY ADDING NEW PROP 65
WARNING. TO THE PACKAGE, WHICH
FURTHER DENSE MAKES THE
PACKAGING AND THE WARNINGS VERY
DENSE, SO WE DON'T WANT TO DO A
DISSERVICE TO OUR OUR CONSUMERS
. UM, UH, AND TO THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA BY MAKING THE WARNING
LABELS UM AND UNUSEFUL TO THEM
IN TERMS OF KNOWING WHAT THEY'RE
GOING TO DO OR SHOULD BE DOING
SO WITH THAT WE WOULD URGE YOU
TO OPPOSE THE BILL TODAY. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WANNA
MOVE ON TO ANY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION IN THE
HEARING ROOM TODAY WHO WANT TO
ADD ON SO THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ADD TO PROVIDE YOUR NAME
ORGANIZATION YOU'RE WITH, IF ANY

TO COLLEAGUES. QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS. YES. REMEMBER NGUYEN?
YES WHEN PROP 64 PAST. THE
VOTERS OBVIOUSLY SAID THAT THEY
WANTED TO LEGALIZE CANNABIS, AND
THEY ALSO WANTED TO REGULATE
CANNABIS. AND I THINK THAT
INCLUDES MAKING SURE THAT WE
DON'T ADVERTISE TO CHILDREN. AND
IT ALSO MAKES SURE THAT PEOPLE
THAT THAT USE CANNOT BE
CANNABIS. WHERE THAT THAT THEY
HAVE. FULL UH, FULL IDEA OF THE
THREATS THAT CANNABIS USE COULD,
UH UH, WE HEARD THE TERRIBLE
STORY, BUT I THINK FULL
DISCLOSURE OF POTENTIAL RISKS OF
CANNABIS USE IS VERY OBVIOUS IN
A REGULATED MARKET. WE DO THAT
ALREADY FOR LIQUOR. WE DO THAT
ALREADY FOR CIGARETTES, AND I
THINK IT'S OBVIOUS THAT WE
SHOULD DO IT FOR CANNABIS, TOO.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED AS
A CO OP. THANK YOU. AND YOUR
FAMILY MEMBER. ADDITIONAL, YEAH,
MR PHÊN. MAY I QUICKLY ASK WHAT
IS THE CURRENT? UM, LABEL? ON
THE ON PRODUCTS. IT WOULD, COULD
YOU, SOMEONE PROVIDE. BE MORE
SPECIFICS. PERHAPS ACTOR SILVER
CAN ADDRESS THAT. UM. MEMBER
THERE IS CURRENTLY A LABEL THAT
WAS DETERMINED IN PROPOSITION 64
THAT, UM, STATES THAT, UH, IT
MAY CAUSE HARM IF YOU'RE
PREGNANT, THAT IT SHOULD ONLY BE
USED BY PEOPLE OF OVER A CERTAIN
AGE LIMIT, AND THAT CAUTION
SHOULD BE EXERCISED WHEN UM
OPERATING EQUIPMENT OR DRIVING,
HOWEVER, UM, IT DOES NOT SPEAK
AT ALL TO THE MENTAL HEALTH
EFFECTS ON EDIBLES. IT DOES HAVE
A STATEMENT. UNDULATING USE,
HOWEVER, IT IS IN SIX POINT FONT
AND WE CIRCULATED PICTURES TO
SOME OF YOU HAVE A I HAVE AN
EXAMPLE. THANK YOU APPRECIATE
IT. IT'S VERY HARD TO SEE SO I
MEAN, JUST FOR EVERYBODY'S
CLARITY, BECAUSE I KNOW OTHER
MEMBERS WANT TO SEE IT, SO THE
WORDING AND NOT TO SPEAK TO THE
FONT OR SIZE OR ANYTHING LIKE
THAT. BUT THE WORDING IS
GOVERNMENT WARNING. THIS PRODUCT
CONTAINS CANNABIS, A SCHEDULE
ONE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. KEEP
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND
ANIMALS. CANNABIS PRODUCTS MAY
ONLY BE POSSESSED OR CONSUMED BY
PERSONS 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER
UNLESS THE PERSON IS A QUALIFIED
PATIENT. THE INTOXICATING
EFFECTS OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS MAY
BE DELAYED UP TO TWO HOURS.
CANNABIS USE WHILE PREGNANT OR
BREASTFEEDING MAY BE HARMFUL
CONSUMPTION OF CANNABIS PRODUCTS
IMPAIRS YOUR ABILITY TO DRIVE
AND OPERATE MACHINERY. PLEASE
USE EXTREME CAUTION, AND IT'S ON
PAGE TWO OF THE ANALYSIS OF
FOLKS HAVE THAT MR CHAIRMAN MAKE
NOTE THAT THE EXAMPLE BEING
PASSED AROUND IS ACTUALLY AN
EXAMPLE PROVIDED BY THE
OPPOSITION. SO THAT'S THE BEST
EXAMPLE. WE HAVE OTHER EXAMPLES
. OF COURSE, OF COURSE, OF
COURSE. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, SENATOR. ADDITIONAL
QUESTIONS. COMMENTS. UH,
REMEMBER, MCCARTY. YEAH I THINK
. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. AND DR
PAN. I DIDN'T HEAR THE
PRESENTATION, BUT I'M WELL
VERSED ON THE BILL. LOOK, I
THINK YOU CAN BE 100% SUPPORTER
OF THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY. AND
THE REGULARIZATION LEGALIZATION
AND ACCESSIBILITY THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA AND SUPPORT PUBLIC
HEALTH AND MAKING SURE THAT
THERE'S PROPER WARNINGS AND
DISCLOSURE LIKE MY COLLEAGUE
TALKED ABOUT. TOBACCO AND
ALCOHOL AND LET'S FACE IT. OUR
YOUTH ARE GETTING AHOLD OF THESE
PRODUCTS. MY KIDS ON MIDDLE
SCHOOL REAL EXAMPLES OF 13 12 14
YEAR OLDS, UM, COMING ACROSS
THIS STUFF. AND IT'S NOT JUST,
YOU KNOW, A ONE OFF. THIS IS A
REAL REAL THING, AND I SUPPORT
THIS MEASURE AND AGAIN. I THINK
YOU CAN DO TWO THINGS YOU CAN
PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH. OUR YOUTH
AND SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY. SO
THANK YOU, DR PEN. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU REMEMBER MCCARTY
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
FROM COLLEAGUES. SEEING NONE. DR
PAM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
YES. THANK YOU. UM SO I JUST ASK
THAT YOU JOIN PARENTS, MENTAL
HEALTH EXPERTS, PHYSICIANS,
LOCAL GOVERNMENT PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF
OUR COMMUNITY AND YOUTH. BY
VOTING. YES. ON SB 10 97. AND
LET'S INFORM CHILDREN FAMILIES
WHILE KEEPING CANNABIS LEGAL.
RESPECT THE ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR PAN AND ELECT
TO THANK YOU FOR ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS TODAY AS WELL AS FOR
YOUR LEGACY OF ADVOCATING FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUES, I THINK
ALL OF WHICH I'VE BEEN HAPPY TO
SUPPORT. I WANT TO NOTE THAT, UH
, THE AMENDMENTS THAT THAT
YOU'RE TAKING TODAY LEAVE THE
SPONSORS. UH NOT AS HAPPY WITH
THE BILL, AND IT STILL LEAVES
THE OPPOSITION IN STRONG
OPPOSITION. TO THE BILL, AND I
DON'T VIEW THAT AS A GUTTING OF
THE BILL. I VIEW THAT AS THE
NECESSARY LEGISLATIVE PROCESS TO
MAKE SURE THAT THAT YOU HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO GET A BILL OUT OF
THE ASSEMBLY AND SIGNED BY THE
GOVERNOR. THAT THAT'S NOT OUT OF
THE SENATE. UM AND SO, UM, YOU
KNOW, I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING
THE AMENDMENTS TODAY. I AGREE
WITH THAT FAMILY MEMBER MCCARTY
, UH, THAT WE CAN BOTH HAVE A
STRONG UM LEGAL CANNABIS MARKET
IN CALIFORNIA AS WELL AS THE
APPROPRIATE WARNINGS NECESSARY.
I THINK THE DEPARTMENT OF
CANNABIS CONTROL IS THE RIGHT,
UH, YOU KNOW AGENCY TO DO A
DEEPER DIVE INTO WHAT THOSE
WARNINGS SHOULD LOOK LIKE AND
HOW THEY SHOULD BE LISTED ON
PRODUCTS. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
GET THE, UH, THAT CONSUMERS GET
THE APPROPRIATE WARNINGS WHEN
THEY'RE BUYING IN THE LEGAL
MARKET. UM, YOU KNOW THAT.
OBVIOUSLY, THESE WARNINGS AREN'T
GOING TO BE ON ANY PRODUCTS. IN
THE ILLICIT MARKET, AND I THINK
THAT'S PROBABLY A LOT OF THE
PRODUCTS THAT YOUTH ARE GETTING,
UH, IS IN THE ILLICIT MARKET. UM
SO WE NEED TO KEEP THAT IN MIND
WHEN WE WHEN WE'RE YOU KNOW,
CREATING LEGISLATION ON THESE
ISSUES. I APPRECIATE THE BALANCE
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO STRIVE WITH
THIS BILL. NO AND I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY. THANK
YOU, DOCTOR. PAN UH, WE NEED A
MOTION IN A SECOND. LOOKING FOR
A MOTION AND A SECOND. GOT A
MOTION IN A SECOND. UM MR
SECRETARY, PLEASE CALL THE VOTE.
THE MOTION IS DUE PASS AS
AMENDED TO THE COMMITTEE ON

MEDINA EATING HOWEVER. WICKS
EXCITING. THAT BILL HAS FIVE
VOTES WILL LEAVE THE IT'S WELL.
WE'LL COME BACK FOR COLLEAGUES
TO BE ABLE TO ADD ON WHEN THEY
COME BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM, AND
WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON. I HAVE TO
GO TO PRISON MEMBERS. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR PAN. I HAVE TO
GO PRESENT THREE BILLS IN
ELECTIONS, SO I'M GONNA TURN IT
OVER TO THE VICE CHAIR. TO, UH
KEEP IT HERE AND GOING THANK
YOU. CHAIR. LOOKS LIKE I SEE
SENATOR WIENER. READY WHEN YOU
ARE, SIR, PRESENTING SB 11 86.
OKAY SO THANK YOU WHEN YOU ARE.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR COLLEAGUES
TODAY I'M PRESENTING SP 11 86 TO
ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIANS HAVE
ACCESS TO LEGAL SAFE AND TESTED
MEDICAL CANNABIS. BY ENSURING
THAT, UH LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
ALLOW THE SALE OF LEGAL MEDICAL
CANNABIS BY DELIVERY. I WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR ITS
ANALYSIS WERE THE WERE WILL BE
TAKING THE AMENDMENTS OUTLINED
IN THE ANALYSIS IN JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE. UM I WANT TO JUST BE
VERY CLEAR THE SP 11 86 DOES NOT
IN ANY WAY TOUCH OR MEN'S PROP
64, WHICH LEGALIZED ADULT USE OF
CANNABIS. UM MEDICAL CANNABIS
WAS NOT PART OF PROP 64, SO WE
ARE ABLE TO LEGISLATE AROUND IT
HERE WITHOUT TOUCHING THAT
BALLOT MEASURE. AH! RIGHT NOW IN
CALIFORNIA. 62% OF CITIES. SO
ABOUT 300. ALFRED IN CITIES
CATEGORICALLY BAN THE N E
COMMERCE AND CANNABIS, INCLUDING
MEDICAL CANNABIS, SO THERE ARE
ENORMOUS NUMBER OF CITIES. AND
SIGNIFICANT SWATHS OF THE STATE
WHERE YOU SIMPLY CANNOT PURCHASE
LEGAL MEDICAL CANNABIS. THAT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT PEOPLE AREN'T
USING MEDICAL CANNABIS IF THEY
HAVE HIV OR CANCER OR ARTHRITIS
, OR ANY OF THE OTHER HEALTH
CONDITIONS WHERE CANNABIS
MEDICAL CANNABIS CAN BE HELPFUL.
THAT'S OBTAINING IT. THEY'RE
JUST OBTAINING IT ILLEGALLY, SO
IT'S NOT TESTED, NOT REGULATED.
AND SO AH! LEVITY SP 11 A SEX
WILL REQUIRE CITIES, UH, TO
ALLOW SOME FORM OF DELIVERY OF
MEDICAL CANNABIS ONLY DELIVERY,
ONLY MEDICAL CANNABIS. THE BILL
AUTHORIZES CITIES TO CONTINUE TO
PUT REASONABLE REGULATIONS AND
PLACED AS LONG AS THOSE
REGULATIONS DO NOT HAVE. THE
EFFECT OF BANNING THE DELIVERY
OF LEGAL MEDICAL CANNABIS. YOUR
CITY COULD RESTRICT HOURS OF
DELIVERY COULD RESTRICT
LOCATIONS WITH CONTINUE TO HAVE
A PERMITTING OR CONDITIONAL USE
PROCESS AND LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
VENDORS. AS LONG AS THOSE
REGULATIONS DO NOT HAVE THE
EFFECT OF COMPLETELY ELIMINATING
LEGAL DELIVERY AND MEDICAL
CANNABIS. SO UH, COLLEAGUES. I
THINK IT'S JUST REALLY IMPORTANT
FOR CALIFORNIA TO BE CLEAR THAT
WHEN WE SAY WE WANT PEOPLE TO
HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR MEDICINE,
THAT WE MEAN IT, AND WE
SHOULDN'T BE PUSHING PEOPLE IN
NEED OF MEDICINE ONTO THE
ILLICIT. MARKET RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN I VOTE WITH ME TODAY, UH
, TO TESTIFY OR AMY JENKINS WITH
THE CALIFORNIA CANNABIS INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION AND DALE GEHRINGER
FROM CAL NORMAL. GOOD MORNING,
CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS AMY JENKINS
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
CANNABIS INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION,
THE PROUD SPONSOR OF SB 11, 86.
I WANT TO BEGIN BY THANKING THE
AUTHOR FOR INTRODUCING THIS
CRITICAL LEGISLATION AND TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE AMENDMENTS
THAT WILL BE ACCEPTED TODAY,
WHILE CALIFORNIA WAS THE FIRST
STATE TO LEGALIZE MEDICINAL
CANNABIS WITH THE PASSAGE OF
PROP 2 15. UM PROP 64 A DECADE
LATER HAS LED TO FEWER LEGALLY
PERMISSIBLE CANNABIS RETAILERS
IN THE STATE THAN THERE WERE IN
2015. IN OTHER WORDS, MEDICINAL
CANNABIS IS HARDER TO FIND THAN
IT WAS A DECADE AGO. A RECENT
STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE REASON
FOUNDATION VALIDATED PREVIOUS
REPORTS THAT CALIFORNIA'S LEGAL
CANNABIS INDUSTRY REPRESENTS
APPROXIMATELY ONE THIRD OF THE
SIZE. IT SHOULD BE. THIS IS
BASED ON THE STATE'S POPULATION
AND ESTIMATED ADULT USAGE RATES
, WHICH SHOW THAT NEARLY TWO
THIRDS OF ALL CANNABIS SALES
CONDUCTED IN CALIFORNIA TAKE
PLACE IN THE ILLICIT MARKET. THE
STUDY FURTHER FOUND SIGNIFICANT
STATEWIDE LACK OF ACCESS TO
LEGAL CANNABIS RETAILERS, NOTING
THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THE
STATE'S LEGAL RETAILERS ARE
LOCATED IN JUST 18 CITIES. THE
SHORTAGE OF LEGAL CANNABIS
RETAIL BUSINESS HAS FUELED AN
EVER GROWING ILLICIT MARKET,
WHICH WE'VE DISCUSSED MANY TIMES
IN THE COMMITTEE. THIS IS NOT A
THEORETICAL ISSUE, BUT A HUMAN
ONE. CANNABIS IS EXTREMELY
EFFECTIVE IN TREATING SERIOUSLY
ILL PATIENTS CANCER PATIENTS
LOOKING FOR RELIEF FROM PAINFUL
SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS.
VETERANS LOOKING FOR NON FROM
SUITABLE ALTERNATIVES TO PHD
RELATED SLEEP, ISSUES, STRESS
AND CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS
LOOKING FOR STATE AT LONGER TERM
BENEFITS AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO
OPIOIDS. SB 11 86 DOES NOT SEEK
TO OVERTURN LOCAL CONTROL OR
PREVENT LOCAL JURISDICTIONS FROM
JUST SAYING NO TO ADULT USE
CANNABIS BUSINESSES, IT'S SIMPLY
PREVENTS JURISDICTIONS FROM
BARRING PATIENTS FROM ACCESSING
THE MEDICINE. THEY NEED AN
HONORS. CALIFORNIA'S VOTERS
LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO
ENSURE THAT PATIENTS HAVE ACCESS
TO SAFE TESTED AND EFFECTIVE
MEDICINAL CANNABIS. FOR THESE
REASONS, WE STRONGLY SUPPORT
THIS BILL TODAY AND URGED HER I
VOTE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
DOCTOR. THANK YOU. DALE
GEHRINGER, WITH CALIFORNIA
NORMAL AND THE CO AUTHOR OF
CALIFORNIA'S MEDICAL MARIJUANA
LAW, PROP 2 15 ON BEHALF OF THE
MILLION OR MORE CALIFORNIANS WHO
HAVE USED MARIJUANA FOR MEDICINE
ARE WE STRONGLY URGED SUPPORT
FOR THE MEDICAL CANNABIS
PATIENTS RIGHT OF ACCESS ACT.
THIS BILL IS ARE SPECIFICALLY,
UH, ADVANCES THE MANDATE OF PROP
2 15. QUOTE TO PROVIDE FOR THE
SAFE AND AFFORDABLE DISTRIBUTION
OF MARIJUANA TO ALL PATIENTS IN
MEDICAL NEED. AH IN SPECIFIC. OF
COURSE, THIS PROHIBITS LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS FROM OBSTRUCTING OR
BANNING THE RETAIL SALE BY
DELIVERY OF MEDICAL CANNABIS TO
QUALIFIED PATIENTS. LOCAL%
GOVERNMENTS SHOULD NO MORE BE
ALLOWED TO BAN MEDICAL MARIJUANA
THAN TO BAN DELIVERY OF OTHER
MEDICATIONS. I POINT OUT THAT
SINCE PROP 2 15 HAS PASSED,
WE'VE SEEN LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF
STUDIES SHOWING MEDICINAL, UH,
BENEFITS OF CANNABIS FOR
CONDITIONS RANGING FROM CHRONIC
PAIN, NAUSEA, APPETITE, LEE LOST
PTSD, INSOMNIA. 80 D ARTHRITIS
SEIZURES, AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES
AND MANY OTHER DISORDERS. AND
THE MEDICAL BENEFITS OF CANNABIS
HAVE BEEN RECOGNIZED BY LAWS IN
42 STATES AND TERRITORIES OVER
30 COUNTRIES AND BY THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION. NONETHELESS
WE HAVE A SITUATION WHERE
CALIFORNIA STILL HAS MANY
REGIONS LACKING CONVENIENT
ACCESS TO MEDICINAL CANNABIS ON
ACCOUNT OF LOCAL BANDS ON
LICENSED AH DELIVERY AND
PROVIDERS. IN SOME AREAS,
PATIENTS MUST TRAVEL FOR AS MUCH
AS TWO HOURS TO REACH THE
NEAREST DISPENSARY. STATE NOW
HAS FEWER THAN HALF AS MANY
LICENSED CANNABIS RETAILERS AS
THERE WERE MEDICAL COLLECTIVES
PRIOR TO 2018. SP 11 86 WOULD
ADDRESSTHE SITUATION BY
REQUIRING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
AT LEAST ACCOMMODATE DELIVERY OF
MEDICAL CANNABIS. WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT FOR 11 86 THANK YOU VERY
MUCH ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT IN THE COMMITTEE ROOM,
NAME AND ORGANIZATION, PLEASE.
AND SUPPORT OF SB 11 86. MR
CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS, RANDOM MARTIN
ON BEHALF OF THE PARENT COMPANY
AND STRONG SUPPORT. THANK YOU.
ANYONE ELSE IN SUPPORT OF 11 86.
SINA. NONE WILL MOVE TO
OPPOSITION. LIKE WE HAVE ONE
NOTED OPPOSITION ON THE PHONE
LINES AT LISA FROM LEGAL CITIES.
THANK YOU, MR SHARON MEMBERS
THAT WE SAW OUR CITY OF KANO ON
BEHALF OF THE LEAGUE OF CITIES
SPEAKING ON ON BEHALF OF A
COALITION, WHICH INCLUDES HEALTH
CITIES, THE RURAL COUNTIES
ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES AND THE
URBAN COUNTIES, ALL IN
OPPOSITION TO SENATE BILL 11 86.
WHICH WOULD SEVERELY UNDERMINE
LOCAL DECISION MAKING UNDER THE
MEDICINAL AND ADULT USE,
CANNABIS REGULATION AND SAFETY
ACT OTHERWISE KNOWN AS MILK,
URSA. WE BELIEVE THAT LOCAL
CONTROL MUST BE SUSTAINED TO
ENSURE COUNTIES AND CITIES CAN
SET REGULATORY STANDARDS.
ASSOCIATED WITH LAND USE
AUTHORITY. THIS INCLUDES THE
ABILITY TO RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT
COMMERCIAL CANNABIS ACTIVITIES
OR IMPOSE STRICTER LOCAL
STANDARDS THAN THOSE AFFORDED IN
STATE REGULATIONS. 11 86
UNDERMINES THE INTENT OF MELCHOR
SAID BY FIRST ELIMINATING A
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS ABILITY TO
PROHIBIT MEDICINAL CANNABIS
RETAIL ACTIVITIES REGARDLESS OF
THE NEEDS OR CONDITIONS IN THE
JURISDICTION. AND SECONDLY,
RESTRICTING THE ABILITY FOR
LARGE FOR THE LARGE NUMBER OF
JURISDICTIONS THAT PERMIT AND
REGULATE CANNABIS RETAILERS TO
SET APPROPRIATE LOCAL LOCAL
REGULATIONS, WHICH ARE DEVELOPED
IN A PUBLIC PROCESS. WE
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THE AUTHORS
AMENDMENTS TO REMOVE THE
EXPLICIT AUTHORIZATION FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS TO LIMIT THE SALE
OF MEDICINAL CANNABIS TO STORE
FRONT RETAIL SALE WITH THE
APPARENT INTENT OF COMPELLING
JURISDICTIONS TO PERMIT DELIVERY
SERVICES. HOWEVER WHILE DELIVERY
SERVICES ARE OFTEN A KEY
COMPONENT TO LOCAL ACCESS
EFFORTS TO LOOK AT DELIVERY
ACTIVITIES CAN BE HARDER TO
REGULATE STOREFRONT LOCATIONS
AND CONSEQUENTLY ARE NOT
APPROPRIATE FOR ALL
JURISDICTIONS. ADDITIONALLY THE
MEASURE INCLUDES A PROVISION
THAT WOULD PROHIBIT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS FROM RESTRICTING
PHYSICAL PREMISES IS FROM WHICH
TO CONDUCT DELIVERY. THIS WOULD
PRESUMABLY REQUIRE CITIES AND
COUNTIES TO LICENSE FOR NON
RETAIL STOREFRONT OPERATORS,
LIMITING OUR LOCAL LAND USE
AUTHORITY, LEGAL ACTION, AND THE
FRESNO COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT HAS
CLARIFIED. THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS CURRENTLY HAVE THE
ABILITY TO RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT
CANVAS DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS
UNDER MALCOLM URSA, AND THIS
BUILDS ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THAT
TOOL FROM COMMUNITIES.
REGULATORY TOOLBOX SHOULD BE
REJECTED. BECAUSE DELIVERY
ACTIVITIES HAVE ALREADY PROVEN
DIFFICULT. EXCUSE ME DIFFICULT
TO MEASURE AND REGULATE. WE
BELIEVE IT IS IMPERATIVE TO
REQUIRE SHARING OF INFORMATION
BY THE DELIVERY LICENSES
REGARDING THE JURISDICTIONS IN
WHICH THEY ARE DELIVERING,
INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF
DELIVERIES MADE TO SPECIFIC
JURISDICTIONS ON QUARTERLY BASIS
, INCLUDING GROWTH SALES
ATTRIBUTED TO THOSE
TRANSACTIONS. MAN, WE WOULD JUST
ASK YOU TO WRAP UP YOUR THOUGHT.
SURE ALL GO AHEAD AND SKIP TO
THE END WOULD JUST LIKE TO
CONCLUDE BY STATING THAT THE
LEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES
HOSTED A CANNABIS ROUNDTABLE
JUST LAST WEEK WHERE CITY
OFFICIALS COULD JUMP ON THE LINE
AND ASK QUESTIONS. INQUIRE ON
LESSONS LEARNED AND OBTAIN
INFORMATION ON RESOURCES AND
OPPORTUNITIES FROM JURISDICTIONS
THAT ARE ALREADY OPERATING IN
THE REGULATED SPACE. FOLLOWING
THAT MEETING, WE RECEIVED
INQUIRIES FROM SEVERAL CITIES
THAT WERE SO MUCH MA'AM CHANGES.
FOR THOSE REASONS. WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR NO
VOTE. THANK YOU APPRECIATE THAT.
BRING THEM BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
ROOM. ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION

IT DOESN'T IN ANY WAY TOUCH PROP
64. I APPRECIATE THAT THERE ARE
CITIES THAT WANT TO IMPLEMENT
THEIR OWN REGULATIONS. CITIES
HAVE HAD A LOT OF YEARS TO PUT
LEGAL REGULATIONS IN THE PLACE.
UNFORTUNATELY ABOUT 300. HAVE
CHOSEN NOT TO DO SO AND INSTEAD
TO BAN IT. THEY CAN CONTINUE
UNDER THIS BILL TO PUT THEIR OWN
REGULATIONS IN PLACE. THERE ARE
STRONG STATE REGULATIONS AROUND
DELIVERY. IT'S NOT THE WILD WEST
OR A LOT OF REQUIREMENTS AS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS. THIS
IS A GOOD BILL AND I RESPECT

PRESENTING SB 11 94. SO WE'RE
READY WHEN YOU ARE OKAY. THANK
YOU. EVERYBODY APPRECIATE THE
SUPPORT. THIS IS A LOCAL CONTROL
BILL THAT GIVES AUTHORITY TO
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO AH, TO
ALLOW FOR GENDER NEUTRAL
BATHROOMS. I'LL SAY JUST EVEN
FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH A
KID. IT'S VERY USEFUL SOMETIMES
TO HAVE A PLACE WHERE I CAN GO
IN WITH MY WIFE AND I'LL TAKE
CARE OF OUR BABY. UM WE WERE
HAPPY TO TAKE THE AMENDMENTS, UH
, TO MAKE THE BILL BILL EASIER
TO IMPLEMENT FOR OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS, AND I'M HAPPY TO
TALK MORE ABOUT IT, BUT
TESTIFYING REMOTELY ON BEHALF OF
ONE OF MY CITY'S CITY OF WEST
HOLLYWOOD, WE HAVE COUNCIL
MEMBER JOHN ERICSSON. AH AND
THEN WE ALSO HAVE SYLVIA
SOLDIERS SHOT FROM THE CITY OF
SANTA MONICA. MR ERICKSON. WE'RE

HMM. HELLO MR CHAIR AND MEMBER
SYLVIA SILLY SHAH HERE ON BEHALF
OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA.
CLEAN ACCESSIBLE SAFE RESTROOMS
ARE UNIVERSAL NEED. THE CITY HAS
STRIVED TO ENSURE THAT PUBLIC
RESTROOMS ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL
OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS.
BUT WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
IS A NEED FOR MORE INCLUSIV,
GENDER NEUTRAL RESTROOM.
FACILITY THAT WILL INCLUDE THAT
WILL BENEFIT ALL GENDER, DIVERSE
AND TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS. FOR
THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT REQUIRE
THE ASSISTANCE OF A CAREGIVER OF
A DIFFERENT GENDER. AND FOR
PARENTS WITH CHILDREN OF
DIFFERENT GENDERS AS WELL. SO UH
, BROAD POPULATION THAT WE THINK
WILL BENEFIT FROM THIS BILL, AND
I'D LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THAT THE
BILL ALSO RETAINS A LOT OF LOCAL
CONTROL AND LOCAL DISCRETION.
FOR CITIES TO BE ABLE TO ADOPT
THIS BY ORDINANCE OR RESOLUTION
, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO TAILOR
IT TO THE NEEDS OF THEIR CITY.
AND WHAT WOULD BE BEST AND WHAT
OCCUPANCIES WOULD BE BEST FOR
THIS. STILL SO WE ASKED FOR YOUR
STRONG SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, AND WE WILL GIVE
MR ERICKSON ONE MORE CHANCE ON

NEW BUILDING IS FALLING APART.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. MR CHAIR
AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
IT'S MY PLEASURE TO PRESENT SP
12 47 FAIRNESS AND FRANCHISE
CONTRACTS TODAY AT THE ONSET. I
WANTED TO STATE THAT WILL BE
TAKING THE COMMITTEE SUGGESTED
TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS. AN
ASSEMBLY JUDICIARY COMMITTEE. AH
AND. THIS CALIFORNIA'S FRANCHISE
INVESTMENT LAW ENACTED IN 1970
STATES THAT IT'S THE INTENT OF
THE SLAUGHTER PROVIDE EACH
PROSPECTIVE FRANCHISEE WITH THE
INFORMATION NECESSARY TO MAKE
INTELLIGENT DECISIONS REGARDING
FRANCHISE HAS BEEN OFFERED. 12
47 SEEKS TO PROMOTE THE SPIRIT
OF THE CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE
INVESTMENT LAW BY PROVIDING
INFORMATION SO THAT A FRANCHISEE
CAN MAKE AN INFORMED AND
INTELLIGENT DECISION. AT THE BIG
BEGINNING OF THE CONTRACT.
SPECIFICALLY SP 12 47 WOULD DO
TWO THINGS REQUIRES DISCLOSURE
FROM FROM A FROM A FRANCHISOR OF
THE GROSS AMOUNT OF MONEY. THE
FRANCHISE WILL BE GIVEN AWAY
WHEN THE FRANCHISE CONTRACT
REQUIRES A FRANCHISE C TO ASSIGN
OR WAVE AWAY THEIR RIGHTS OR TO
REBATES, PROMOTIONS, ALLOWANCES
OR OTHER MONETARY INCENTIVES FOR
PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR SALES. IT
WILL ALSO REQUIRE ONGOING YEARLY
REPORTING FROM THE FRANCHISOR
UPON THE REQUEST OF THE
FRANCHISEE OF HOW MUCH MONEY THE
ACTIVITY ON THEIR HARD WORK AND
THEIR SWEAT. EQUITY. UH, AS FOR
YOUR WE HAVE I THINK WE HAVE AH
, WITNESS TODAY. KEITH MILLER IS
AN OWNER OF A SUBWAY AND GRASS
VALLEY IN AUBURN. RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MR MILLER ON THE
PHONE LINES READY WHEN YOU ARE
YES, I AM. THANK YOU AND CHEER
BERMAN, VICE CHAIR FLORA MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME TODAY AND THANK YOU,
SENATOR HUESO. WE'RE TAKING THE
LEAD ON THIS BILL. AS YOU WERE
TOLD. MY NAME IS KEITH MILLER.
I'M HERE TO SUPPORT SB 12 47 ON
BEHALF OF ITS TWO SPONSORS, THE
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF
FRANCHISEES AND DEALERS AND THE
ASIAN AMERICAN HOTEL OWNERS
ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION.
ASSOCIATION WHOSE MEMBERS OAN
OVER 3500 HOTELS, 61% OF THE
HOTELS IN CALIFORNIA AND
CONTRIBUTE 1.9 BILLION IN
LODGING TAXES IN THE STATE. AND
AS YOU HEARD, I WAS ALSO A STILL
IN A SUBWAY FRANCHISEE AND I
PRESENTED EARLIER THIS YEAR TO
THIS COMMITTEE. AND I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR VOTES ON THAT. WELL
WHEN YOU BUY A FRANCHISE, ONE OF
THE BIGGEST PROMISES, WHICH IS A
HUGE ADVANTAGE IS THAT YOU WILL
BENEFIT FROM GROUP PURCHASING
POWER. WELL, THAT IS ALSO BECOME
ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES.
FRANCHISE COMPANIES OFTEN LIMITS
THE NUMBER OF VENDOR SOURCES AT
TIMES TO A SINGLE SOURCE.
COMPETITION AMONG VENDORS IS NOT
WHO CAN PROVIDE THE LOWEST COST
PRODUCT PURSUANT SERVICE. TO THE
LOCAL FRANCHISEE, BUT WHO CAN
PROVIDE THE BIGGEST REBATE OR
KICK BACK TO THE FRANCHISOR?
THIS SURE ISN'T MY UNDERSTANDING
OF THE FREE MARKET. NOT JUST THE
TRADITIONAL ROYALTIES
FRANCHISORS ARE COLLECTING FROM
FRANCHISEES, BUT REALLY
ADDITIONAL ROYALTIES THROUGH
THESE REBATES. ALL WE ARE ASKING
FOR AN SB 12 47 GREATER
TRANSPARENCY AND WHAT REBATES
THE FRANCHISE COMPANIES
RECEIVING BASED ON FRANCHISEE
PURCHASES. IT'S NOT FREE MONEY
THE FRANCHISEES ARE PAYING FOR
IT. THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW
HOW MUCH THAT IS. THE BEGINNING
OF THE SOLUTION IS INFORMATION
AND THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE STILL
DOES PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION TO PROSPECTIVE
FRANCHISEES AND ON GOING TO THE
EXISTING FRANCHISES. IN CLOSING
. I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR
MILLER. BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE ROOM. ANYONE IN

THANK YOU, SANDOR. GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE. UM, THANK YOU,
MR BRADFORD. APPRECIATE THE YOUR
STAFF AS WELL. MR CHAIRMAN, LET
ME JUST RAISE HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE
OF ISSUES RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITIONAL CAUSE MY COMMENTS.
THE SHERIFF'S ASSOCIATION
BELIEVED THAT THE CHANGE IN
REPORTING WOULD DELAY
INVESTIGATION PROPERTY TIMES. IN
RESPONSE TO THAT CONCERN, WE DID
TAKE AN AMENDMENT IN THE SENATE
TO REQUIRE A PAWN BROKERS TO
PROVIDE THE PERSONAL IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION IMMEDIATELY UPON
REQUEST AND NO CASES. NO LATER
THAN ONE BUSINESS DAY THEREAFTER
, THE SECOND ISSUE RAISED BY THE
OPPOSITION WAS ALLEGED.
MITIGATION OF THE DETERRENT
EFFECT OF THE OF CAPS. UM FOR
ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, THE
TRANSACTION FROM A CUSTOMER
SERVICE SECTIONS THAT CHANGE
WHEN THEY GO INTO A PAWN SHOP
AND PAWN AN ITEM THEY'RE STILL
GONNA REQUIRED TO PRESENT THEIR
ID AND TAKE A FINGERPRINT. THAT
WILL BE RETAINED BY THE
PAWNBROKER. SO FROM THE
CUSTOMER'S PERSPECTIVE, THAT
INFORMATION IS THERE AND IF THEY
HAVE STOLEN GOOD AND NOT
LIKELIHOOD, THEY WON'T CONTINUE
WITH THE TRANSACTION. WE BELIEVE
THAT 13 17 AS DRAFTED, BALANCES
THESE INTERESTS AND WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU. FORMER FORMER
MAJORITY LEADER TO RICO. UM WE
HAVE NOBODY IN. ON THE LIST FOR
PRIMARY WITNESSES AND
OPPOSITION. SO LET'S OPEN IT UP
TO ANYBODY IN THE HEARING ROOM
WANTS TO ADD ON IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. ANYBODY
IN THE HEARING ROOM WANTS TO ADD
ON AND SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION SP
13 17. YEAH SEEING NONE. LET'S
OPEN UP TO THE PHONE LINES.

OR OPPOSITION? PROVIDE YOUR NAME
