SEEN THAT WE DO NOT HAVE A

ENCOURAGE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE TO IF POSSIBLE, MAKE
THEIR WAY TO THE COMMITTEE SO WE
CAN EFFICIENTLY MOVE THROUGH
WHAT'S BEFORE US TODAY WE'RE
GOING TO MOVE TO AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE TO BILLS THAT ARE
GOING TO BE PRESENTED. THIS
MORNING. AND THE FIRST AUTHOR
THAT I SEE WHO IS HERE AND
PRESENT AND READY TO MAKE A
PRESENTATION IS SENATOR
HERTZBERG AND YOUR BILL? SB 13
27. WHICH IN ENJOYS TO DO PASS.
MORNING. MR CHAIRMAN. MORNING
ESTEEM COMMITTEE. ME, ME, ME. I
APPRECIATE THE TIME I'LL MAKE IT
BRIEF IS THIS IS A
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE, BUT
BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
THIS MEASURE WANT TO DO APPEAR
PERSONALLY AS THIS IS A PRIORITY
FOR THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. SINCE 1980. WE HAVE
CUT THE RATE OF FIREARMS DEATH.
I REMEMBER RELATED DEATH IN
CALIFORNIA AND HALF IT'S HARD TO
BELIEVE WHAT THE HEADLINES DAY
AFTER DAY THAT WE SEE ACROSS THE
STATE AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WITH RESPECT TO FIREARMS DESK,
BUT WE ACTUALLY HAVE DONE SO WE
HAVE 107 BILLS THAT WE HAVE
PASSED, AND PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK
THE QUESTION. WELL, IF YOU HAVE
SO MANY GUN CONTROL BILLS WHY IS
IT STILL HAPPENING? UM THE
ANSWER IS TWO THINGS. ONE IS
THAT CERTAINLY WE'VE CUT IT IN
HALF. AND IT WOULD BE MUCH WORSE
IF WE DIDN'T IN THE SECOND IS
THE NATURE OF MANY OF THESE
WEAPONS HAVE CHANGED? THERE'S AN
EPIDEMIC OF THESE GHOSTS. KANSEN
GHOST GUN IS EITHER A GUN THAT'S
BOUGHT OVER THE INTERNET THAT
DOESN'T HAVE A SERIAL NUMBER OR
SOMEBODY LITERALLY FILES. A
NUMBER OF A WEAPON IN ORDER TO
MAKE IT A GHOST GUN. THIS
MEASURE RELATES TO THREE KINDS
OF WEAPONS OF GHOST GUN 50
CALIBER MACHINE GUN. OR
ALTERNATIVELY, A SALT WEAPON,
WHICH IS ALREADY BANNED UNDER
THE ROBERT E. UH, ACTIVITY WAS
89 OR WHATEVER IT WAS IN
CALIFORNIA. SO WHAT HAPPENS IS
THE GOVERNOR OF THE DAY AFTER
THE SUPREME COURT CASE CAME DOWN
IN DECEMBER 10TH OF LAST YEAR.
ISSUED A STATEMENT WITH RESPECT
TO TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE
RULING BY THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT WITH RESPECT TO
CREATING A PRIVATE RIGHT OF
ACTION, AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE
DONE IN THIS BILL AS IT RELATES
TO ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS IS TO
THOSE THREE TYPES OF WEAPONS.
THERE'S NO REASON IF YOU'RE
GONNA GO DEER HUNTING OR YOU
WANT TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS OR
TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY. YOU JUST
SAW OFF THE SERIAL NUMBER. OFF
OF A WEAPON. LOS ANGELES POLICE
DEPARTMENT DECLARED GHOST GUNS
AND EPIDEMIC AN EPIDEMIC. WE'RE
DEALING THAT NOW WITH THE WITH
THE PANDEMIC, AND THEY CALL IT
EPIDEMIC BECAUSE LAST YEAR 400%
INCREASE IN GHOST GUNS SO WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO USE
WHATEVER TOOLS WE CAN USE,
WHETHER IT WORK. I DON'T KNOW,
BUT IF IT SAVES ONE MORE LIFE,
IS IT NOT WORTH TRYING IS NOT
WORTH TRYING EVERYTHING WITHIN
OUR POWER OF GOVERNMENT TO TRY
TO ILLUMINATE THESE
EXTRAORDINARY CHALLENGES THAT
WE'RE FACED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY
BECAUSE OF THESE ASSAULT
WEAPONS, GHOST GUNS AND 50
CALIBER GUNS THAT ARE OFTEN ARE
USED IN SO MANY OF THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES WITH THAT MEMBERS
ASK FOR MY VOTE. THANK YOU,
SENATOR. I'M GOING TO TURN TO
THE VICE CHAIR REAL QUICK
BECAUSE WE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY
TO, UH, DISCUSSED BEFORE THESE
PARTICULAR BILLS CAME UP. HE
WANTED TO MAKE A STATEMENT. I
JUST ALSO WANTED TO APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT YOUR BILL IN A
SERIES OF OTHER BILLS ARE BEFORE
US TODAY ON AN ACCELERATED
PROCESS TO THIS COMMITTEE TO
ALLOW FOR, UM AN EXPEDITED.
PRESENTATION TO THE GOVERNOR
APPROPRIATE TIME, SO WE
APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS BEHIND
THAT NAME IS CHAIRMAN BY SER.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. APPRECIATE
THAT, AND I APPRECIATE THE
AUTHORS. ALLOWING ME TO KIND OF
SHARE ON THIS BEFORE WE GET INTO
THE OPEN DIALOG. UM, I WON'T.
START OFF BY SAYING I'LL GRANT
THAT THE ISSUE OF GHOST GUNS IS
A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT IS ARISEN
OFF OVER SOMETHING THAT WASN'T
ALLOWABLE RIGHT UNDER THE LAWS
FOR PEOPLE TO CREATE AND BUILD
THEIR OWN GUN. AND THAT WAS
PEOPLE WHO WOULD DO IT ONE OFF
TYPE OF SCENARIO, BUT THIS IS
MORE INTO SOMETHING THAT IS
GREATER AND LARGER AND HAS
BECOME USED IN ILLNESS.
ILLEGITIMATE WAYS. AND SO WE'RE
ALL SEEING THIS. BUT I RECOGNIZE
THAT PART OF THE GHOST GUN
ARGUMENT AND THEN THE FILING OFF
IS CLEARLY ALWAYS BEEN AN
ILLEGAL ACTION. SO I WILL GRANT
THOSE ISSUES. MY POINT HERE
TODAY IS JUST TO RECOGNIZE THAT
THERE'S A PROTOCOL WITHIN THE
BODY OF THIS COMMITTEE. UM I'D
JUST LIKE TO NOTE THAT A BILL
LIKE YOU'RE PRESENTING TODAY HAS
COSTS. IN FACT, THOSE PARTICULAR
CAUSE AH BY THE GENERAL FUND ARE
ESTIMATED AT 479,000. WE HAVE
RULES IN THE COMMITTEE THAT IF
THERE'S A BILL PROPOSED GREATER
THAN $150,000 THAT WOULD BE HELD
AND BE HELD AND PUT ON OUR
SUSPENSE FILE FOR FURTHER REVIEW
. THE PURPOSE OF THE SUSPENSE
FILE IS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
REVIEW. AND CONSIDERATION OF
COSTLY BILLS IN THE CONTEXT OF
OTHER BILLS THAT HAVE
SIGNIFICANT COSTS. I THINK THIS
BILL. NOT ONLY MEETS, BUT IT
EXCEEDS. WHAT OUR NORMAL
$150,000 HOLD IS BECAUSE AS WE
LOOK AT IT FURTHER, WE SEE THAT
$771,000 COST IN 2023. GOING
INTO. ADDITIONALLY 2024 25 WE C
591,000. COST IN THE YEAR. 25 26
$383,000 PROPOSED OR ESTIMATED.
IN YEARS FARTHER OUT, SO I BRING
THIS FOR THE RECORD SO THAT WE
PUT THIS OUT BECAUSE IT ISN'T
JUST YOUR BILL TODAY. I'M NOT
SINGLING OUT YOUR BILL. THERE
ARE SEVERAL BILLS ON TODAY'S
CALENDAR, AND THE CHAIR HAS BEEN
KIND ENOUGH FOR ME TO SPEAK ON
THIS. IT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THAT
IF WE'RE GOING TO MAKE LAWS AND
IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE RULES,
SHOULDN'T WE FOLLOW HIM TO SET
THE EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS AS WE SEE
WHICH THEY BUILT? THIS BILL
PROPOSED MAY PASS. IT MAY NOT, I
MEAN, BUT MOST LIKELY IT WILL
AND IT WILL MOVE FORWARD. HOW
CAN WE ENFORCE IT IF WE'RE NOT
GOING TO HOLD OURSELVES
ACCOUNTABLE? I'M JUST TRYING TO
MAKE THAT AS A CLEAR STATEMENT.
HAPPY TO JUST THAT, MR MALONE MY
CLOTHES? YES AND THEN AND AGAIN.
IT IT WAS REALLY JUST TO GIVE
THE VICE CHAIR AN OPPORTUNITY TO
SORT OF ESTABLISHED AND FOR THE
OTHER BILLS THAT ARE FOLLOWED.
NECESSARILY IT WAS BORN OF A
COURTESY DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
IS THERE A FILE? GOOD MORNING
CHAIR HOLDEN, VICE CHAIR.
BIGELOW AND APPROPRIATIONS

THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. NO

THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE TO LINE

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF GUN ON HIS
CALIFORNIA IN STRONG OPPOSITION
TO THIS BILL. AND THEN FURTHER
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. WE'LL COME
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. WE DON'T
HAVE A QUORUM, BUT I'LL
ENTERTAIN ANY COMMENTS THAT
MEMBERS MAY HAVE DOCTOR QUIRKE.
WELL I WILL BE WHEN WE HAVE A
QUORUM VOTING FOR THIS BILL.
HOWEVER, IT'S AWFUL. UM FOR
REASONS BROUGHT UP BY THE EU,
NOW, APPARENTLY REPUBLICAN
SUPREME COURT THINKS IT'S JUST
FINE. SO AS LONG AS THEY'RE
GOING TO ALLOW IT. FOR ABORTION
AND WE CAN ALLOW IT FOR GUNS. I
GUESS THAT'S THE RATIONALE, BUT
UM I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY THINK
TWICE ABOUT THIS, AND WE WERE
BOTH OF THESE LAWS OUT OF ORDER.
THANK YOU. MR LEVINE. YEAH THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, MR CHAIR, AND, UH. MY REMARKS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO
AH, DOCTOR QUIRKS. UM FIRST OF
ALL I DO NOT APPRECIATE IN
DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES FOR PEOPLE
TO CRITICIZE OR DEMOCRATIC
VOTES. TO DELEGITIMIZE WHAT WE
DO, BECAUSE PROCESS MIGHT NOT BE
WHAT THEY WANT. THE OUTCOME OF
THIS VOTE DOES NOT MAKE A BILL.
LESS VALID. UM. BECAUSE OF HOW
THE COMMITTEE DECIDES TO DO ITS
BUSINESS. UM AND SO I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT THIS COMMITTEE IS
DOING ANYTHING WRONG. UM AND HOW
WE'RE DOING THIS, AND I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE HEAR THAT
VERY CLEARLY. UM AH. SO THANK
YOU TO THE AUTHORS AND THE CO
AUTHORS ON THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT
YOU KNOW, WE'VE WORKED VERY
DILIGENTLY TO DEAL WITH HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. I ABSOLUTELY SHARE
THE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT. THE A C
L U RAISES HERE. AND, UM AND
WHEN, WHEN I'M LOOKING AT THIS
AS FAR AS YOU KNOW. WELL, DO I
LIKE THIS BILL? YEAH I LIKE THE
BILL. BUT I DON'T THINK HONESTLY
DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL IS
ABOUT GUNS. THIS BILL IS ABOUT
ABORTION TO ME, AND UM AND SO IF
WE NEED TO ADVANCE, UH,
LEGISLATION HERE. TO CHALLENGE
WHAT OTHER STATES ARE DOING TO
CALL THAT UNCONSTITUTIONALLY
CONSTITUTIONALITY OUT. THAT THIS
IS A WAY THAT WE ENGAGE IN
POLICY TO CHALLENGE ANOTHER
POLITICAL BODY. THE COURTS. THE
COURTS ARE POLITICAL. LET'S NOT
DENY THAT THEY LIKE TO THINK
THAT THEY'RE ABOVE IT. THEY ARE
POLITICAL, SO THIS IS HOW
CALIFORNIA ADVANCES, UH, POLICY
. UH TO, UM, TO CALL THE
CONSTITUTIONALLY
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE THOSE
LAWS OUT. BUT IF WE CAN ALSO
ADVANCE OUR VALUES ON GUN
SAFETY. THAT'S OKAY TOO. SO THAT
IS WHY I WILL SUPPORT IT. THANK
YOU. THANKS, SIR. THANK YOU, MR
LEVINE. WE WILL TAKE UP YOUR
BILL. ONCE WE HAVE A QUORUM. BUT
IF YOU'D LIKE TO HAVE A COUPLE
OF POINTS, MR CLOSING THOUGHTS
FIRST WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROCEDURAL ONE ISSUE WITH THE
VICE CHAIR RAISED. I HAVE GREAT
REGARD FOR THAT. I AM A CREATURE
OF THIS INSTITUTION AND CARE
ABOUT IT DEEPLY. I THINK YOU'RE
RIGHT. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT THIS
BILL WAS NOT WAS SET ON THE
FLOOR AND WAS PULLED BACK FROM
THE FLOOR TO COME BEFORE AND BE
CONSIDERED BY THIS COMMITTEE. IT
IS BEING CONSIDERED BY THIS
COMMITTEE. THE MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE WILL VOTE AND MAKE A
DETERMINATION. THE ONLY
VARIATION IS WHETHER IT GOES TO
SUSPENSE OR NOT, AND SUSPENSE IS
MORE OF A MANAGEMENT TOOL BY
LEADERSHIP IS CERTAINLY WELL
AWARE OF FROM MY HISTORY, AND SO
THEY THEY'RE SKIPPING THAT AND
THEY'RE ALLOWING FOR THE PUBLIC
DELIBERATION IN THE COMMITTEE. I
WOULD SUGGEST THAT WITH RESPECT
TO THE PROCESS, IT'S EXACTLY
BEING ADHERE TO BECAUSE THIS
COMMITTEE IS CONSIDERING IT IN
IN THE PUBLIC REALM. SECOND
THING JUST VERY BRIEFLY AS THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
THAT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IS
IN THE SUPREME COURT, OF COURSE,
DID MY HOMEWORK AND DOING MY
HOMEWORK. HERE'S AN AMICUS BRIEF
THAT WAS FILED BY THE UH,
FIREARMS POLICY COALITION WITH
THE FIREARMS POLICY COALITION
SAID WHEN THIS CASE WAS
APPEARING BEFORE THE SUPREME
COURT WAS, OH, MY GOD. IF YOU
DECIDE THIS CASE THE WAY YOU'VE
DECIDED IT, THE PEOPLE IN THE
GUN BUSINESS ARE GOING TO GO IN
AND SAY THEY SHOULD ALSO APPLY
TO GUNS AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
WE'RE DOING. AND SO WHEN WE
DRAFTED THIS LEGISLATION WITH
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE, WE DID SO
WITH DEEP CONSIDERATION OF WHAT
WAS BEFORE THE COURT. AND SO NOW
THE COURT HAD THIS DECISION
BEFORE IT HAD THIS QUESTION
BEFORE THAT, AND SO WE HAVE
CAREFULLY DRAFTED THIS IN A WAY.
THAT IF THEY DO MAKE A DECISION
, THEY SHOULD UPHOLD IT. WE ALSO
HAVE LANGUAGE IN THIS MEASURE
THAT SAYS IF THEY CHANGED THEIR
DECISION WITH RESPECT TO
ABORTION, THAT THIS THIS LAW NO
LONGER HAS EFFECTS, SO IT'S BEEN
DRAFTED WITH PRETTY GOOD
ELEGANCE. A LOT OF LAWYERS
INVOLVEDLAST YEAR I VOTE. THANK
YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU. AND I
WE'RE GOING TO YES, ABSOLUTELY.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT
THAT I SHOULD HAVE MADE EARLIER.
I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO WANT TO
LIVE AND DIE BY THE SUSPENSE
CALENDAR HERE. I MEAN, I THINK
THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN THIS
BUILDING OR THAT CARE ABOUT
POLICY IN CALIFORNIA THAT WOULD
LOVE TO SEE THE SUSPENSE
CALENDAR GO THE WAY OF THE
SENATE FILIBUSTER. APPRECIATE
YOUR COMMENTS, SER. WE HAVE A I
BELIEVE A QUORUM. WE'RE GOING TO
CALL THE ROLE TO ESTABLISH A
QUORUM. HOLDEN BIGELOW. BRIAN
CALDERON. CARILLO. DOLLY!
DAVIES, MIKE FONG. VINCE PHÊN.
GABRIEL. EDUARDO GARCIA. LEVIN.
WORK. HERE, ROBERT RIVAS.
WEATHER. WILSON. WE HAVE A
QUORUM. WE CAN NOW ENTERTAIN A
MOTION ON SENATE BILL 13 27
HERTZBERG IS THERE. THIS IS A
PASS. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY DR
QUIRKE IS THEIR SECOND SECOND BY
DR WEBBER. PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
OH, I'M SORRY. IT'S OUT ON A BE
REAL COLD. UM, SENATOR
PORTANTINO. SP 906 ALSO ENJOYS
THE DPASSES AMENDMENT AMENDED
. WE ALSO HAVE A SECOND BILL FOR
YOU. I WAS PREPARED TO PRESENT
WHICH YOU CAN PRESENT. IF YOU
WILL BE HAPPY TO HAVE THE CHAIR.
DO IT WHEN APPROPRIATE. OKAY
THAT WAY. WE DON'T MESS UP THE
OTHER MEMBERS THAT BE GREAT. NO
WORRIES, SO WE'LL ENTERTAIN YOUR
PRESENTATION ON SP 906 THANK YOU
. AND FOR THE RECORD, I'M GOING
TO STAND UP FOR THE CHAIR. THIS
COMMITTEE I LOVE THE SUSPENSE
FILE JUST FOR THE RECORD, SO WE
ALL KNOW AND I SHOW SURE MR
HOLDEN DOES AS WELL. UM, VALUE.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I'D LIKE TO
START BY THANKING THE
ADMINISTRATION, YOUR STAFF AND
MY STAFF ON DEVELOPING THE
AMENDMENTS BEFORE US TODAY,
WHICH I'M SUBMITTING AS AUTHORS
AMENDMENTS, BUT THEY'RE GETTING
CROSS THIS COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
SO HAPPY TO DO THAT, AND SO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION.
SP 906 IS IN RESPONSE TO THE
FRANKLY TO THE TRAGIC SHOOTING
THAT OCCURRED IN MICHIGAN
EARLIER THIS YEAR. WE SAW IN
MICHIGAN, WHERE SCHOOL DISTRICT
RECEIVED INFORMATION OF A
CREDIBLE THREAT SAT ON THAT
INFORMATION, DID NOTHING AND
THEN PUT LIVES IN JEOPARDY. UM
SP 906 REQUIRES AN INVESTIGATION
FROM LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OR A
SCHOOL CAMPUS. WHEN THERE IS A
PERCEIVED LEGITIMATE FIREARM
THREAT. IT ALSO REQUIRES LOCAL
EDUCATION. TO INCLUDE
INFORMATION ON THE SAFE FIREARM
STORAGE LAWS IN THE ANNUAL
NOTIFICATION PROVIDED TO PARENTS
AND GUARDIANS. AS YOU KNOW, I
AUTHORED THE SAFE STORAGE LAWS,
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
EDUCATE PARENTS AT HOME. ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFELY STORING
YOUR WEAPON AND KEEPING THEM OUT
OF THE WRONG HANDS. PRIORITIZE
PRIORITIZING SAFE AT HOME
STORAGE WILL ALLOW, UH, PERCENT
PERCEIVED THREATS TO BE PROPERLY
INVESTIGATED IN CRUCIAL AND IT'S
CRUCIAL TO LESSENING THE CHANCES
OF A TRAGEDY. TODAY I HAVE
TRISTAN BROWN, CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS. AND ALEC
FOSTER ON BEHALF OF WOMEN
AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE, AND WHEN
APPROPRIATE, WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN I VOTE. THANK YOU.
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. IS THERE
A FILE ON THIS? BILL. THANK YOU.
CHAIR WE HAVE NO APPROVED
POSITION ON THIS BILL. WE DO
NOTE THAT THIS BILL COULD CREATE
ONE TIME NON PROPOSITION 98
GENERAL FUND COSTS OF $130,000
FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
TO DEVELOP A MODEL CONTENT FOR
THE ANNUAL NOTIFICATION AND
CONSULTATION WITH LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES, CIVIL RIGHTS
GROUPS AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE. THIS BILL COULD ALSO
CREATE A STATE REIMBURSABLE
MANDATE WITH PROPOSITION 98
GENERAL FUND COSTS. IN THE TENS
OF THOUSANDS TO HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BY
REQUIRING THE LOCAL EDUCATION
AGENCIES TO PROVIDE THE ANNUAL
NOTIFICATION TO PARENTS AND
GUARDIANS. THE BILL COULD ALSO
CREATE INDETERMINABLE LOCAL
COSTS TO THE EXTENT ELIA'S WOULD
NEED TO PROVIDE TRAINING TO
LOCAL SCHOOL STAFF. ON THE
REQUIREMENT TO REPORT ON ANY
THREAT OR PERCEIVED THREAT TO
LAW ENFORCEMENT. AND WE DIDN'T
HAVE A FISCAL ESTIMATE FROM THE
DOJ AT THE TIME OF THIS
ANALYSIS, BUT BASED ON ESTIMATES
PROVIDED FOR SIMILAR BILLS. THIS
BILL COULD CREATE ONGOING NON
PROPOSITION 98 GENERAL FUND
COSTS OF APPROXIMATELY $300,000.
DUE TO ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN
LITIGATION WORKLOAD RESULTING
FROM THIS BILL. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. WE'LL NOW TURN TO THE
PUBLIC HERE IN THE COMMITTEE
ROOM SUPPORT FOR SB 906. SAYING
THAT. SORRY, SIR. I'M SORRY.
COURSE. THANK YOU. YOUR MAIN
WITNESS. BROWN THANK YOU, MR

CLASSIFIED PROFESSIONALS HERE IN

WOULD REALLY LIKE TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR LISTENING TO
EDUCATORS, BOTH ON THE
CERTIFICATED CLASSIFIED AND
MANAGERIAL SIDES OF THE EQUATION
. THIS BILL IS A RESPONSE TO
REALLY A DISEASE IN OUR COUNTRY
THAT WE'VE BEEN NOTICING FOR
MANY, MANY YEARS. IN TERMS OF
COST. THIS IS THE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE. WHAT IS THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE BALANCE SHEET? IT IS
THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN, THE
LIVES OF OUR EDUCATORS. AND SO
WE ARE HERE IN STRONG SUPPORT.
URGE A REALLY GOOD WORKING PLAN
BETWEEN ELIA'S AND THE DOJ TO
COME UP WITH REALLYGOOD
RESPONSES TO CREDIBLE THREATS IN
A MANNER THAT RESPECTS PRIVACY
AND RESPECTS EVERYONE INVOLVED.
IT IS PREVENTATIVE AND EVERY
TIME A TRAGEDY OCCURS, WE ASKED,
WHAT COULD WE HAVE DONE TO
PREVENT THIS? THIS IS THAT BILL,
SO WE STRONGLY URGE AND I VOTE
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THANK YOU. WE'LL ALSO RECOGNIZE

SEVEN YEAR OLD BROTHER, EVAN LEE
FOSTER WAS MURDERED AND I JUST
10 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME. WAS
INJURED BY THE ASSAILANT WHO WAS
USING MAC 90 ASSAULT WEAPON. FOR
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AS SCHOOL
SHOOTINGS HAVE BECOME MORE AND
MORE FREQUENT ADULTS, VARIOUS
STATE GOVERNMENTS AND OUR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAVE SHIFTED
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SCHOOL
SAFETY ONTO THE STUDENTS AND
THEIR TEACHERS. WE'VE PUT IN
PLACE PROGRAMS SUCH AS ACTIVE
SHOOTER DRILLS. SEE SOMETHING
SAY SOMETHING. SIGNS OF SUICIDE
S O S, WHICH IS A PROGRAM FOR
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
THAT TEACHES THEM HOW TO
IDENTIFY SIGNS OF DEPRESSION AND
SUICIDE AND THEMSELVES AND THEIR
PEERS. FIRST AID TRAINING FOR
STUDENTS TO LEARN HOW TO ASSIST
THEIR INJURED PEERS DURING A
SCHOOL SHOOTING. AND ALICE AND
ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILL THAT
INCLUDES TEACHING OUR CHILDREN
HOW TO FIGHT OFF A GUNMAN. NOW
WITH THIS RECENT PROPOSED
COMPROMISE IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
WE KNOW THAT WE CAN'T COUNT ON
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO HELP
KEEP US SAFE FROM GUN VIOLENCE.
AT LEAST NOT FOR NOW. INSTEAD WE
ARE COUNTING ON YOU. OUR STATE
GOVERNMENT TO HELP PROTECT US
FROM THIS EPIDEMIC. PLEASE VOTE
YES. ON SP 906 SCHOOLS, SAFETY,

THIS CRITICAL LIFESTYLE SAVING
LEGISLATION ON ITS PATH FORWARD

THE COMMENTS THAT I MADE WITH
THE PREVIOUS BILL ARE THE SAME
COMMENTS THAT I ASSOCIATE WITH
THIS BILL, AND FOR THE NEXT TWO
THAT'LL BE COMING UP THERE LIKE
KIND. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
PROCESS FOR ME. I THINK YOU AS A
CHAIR OF THE SENATE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE AND THE
CHAIR HERE AND THEIR STAFFS.
THEY HOLD THOSE PROCESSES THAT
WE'VE PUT IN PLACE AND HAD FOR A
LONG TIME WITH HIGH IMPORTANCE.
WE AS OUR BODIES HAVE AGREED TO
THOSE RULES AS THEY'VE BEEN
PRESENTED TO US SO THAT'S THE
REASON WHY I SPEAK UP FOR IT MAY
BE ON THE ONE PERSON THAT'S ABLE
TO DO THAT BEST FOR THE ENTIRE
COMMITTEE. AND SO I DO THAT WITH
GREAT REVERENCE FOR WHAT WE'RE
DOING HERE WITH RESPECT TO YOUR
BILL. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING
THOSE AMENDMENTS. THAT YOU'VE
TAKEN TODAY BECAUSE THIS IS A
VERY GOOD BILL THAT'S BEEN MADE
EVEN BETTER, AND I APPRECIATE IT
AND LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING
THIS BILL. STATUS THANK YOU,
SENATOR. UM THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD.
OBVIOUSLY WE'VE SEEN THE NUMBERS
RISE WHEN WE LOOK AT DEPRESSION
AMONGST OUR TEENS AND REALLY
HAVE TO BE THAT CC. SEE
SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING, AND I
REALLY APPRECIATE THIS. I THINK
THIS IS JUST ANOTHER TOOL IN THE
KIT THAT WILL HELP KEEP OUR KIDS
SAFE. AND I'D BE HONORED TO BE A
CO AUTHOR. THANK YOU.
POSSIBILITY IF THAT'S POSSIBLE.
AT THIS POINT, WE WILL TRY OUR
BEST. THANK YOU, SENATOR. AND AS
I INDICATED, THIS IS A D PASSES
A MINUTE AND JUST TO READ INTO
THE RECORD THE AMENDMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED ONE CHANGE
THE DUE DATE OR CD TO DEVELOP
INFORMATION ON FIREARMS SAFETY
TO DELETE PROVISION REQUIRING CD
TO DEVELOP BEST PRACTICES. OR
HOMICIDAL SITUATIONS AND THREE
OTHER TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS. AND
WITH THAT WE HAVE A MOTION AND A
SECOND. SENATOR WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? YEAH THANK YOU, MR
CHAIR AND MEMBERS AS IT'S BEEN
SAID, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU
PREVENT SOMETHING, BUT THIS IS A
PREVENTATIVE MEASURE, AND WE
KNOW OVER TIME IT'S GOING TO
PREVENT THINGS. WE SHOULDN'T
WAKE UP AND THINK ABOUT OUR
CHILDREN GOING TO SCHOOL AND
WONDER IF THEY'RE GOING TO
BECOME HOME SAFE FOR OUR TEACHER
GOING TO A CLASSROOM AND
WONDERING IF THEY'RE GOING TO GO
BACK TO THEIR FAMILY OR
CUSTODIAN. CLEANING A CLASSROOM
WONDERING IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE
SHOT WHILE THEY'RE CLEANING THE
CLASSROOM, AND THAT'S WHAT THIS
IS ABOUT, AND RESPECTFULLY ASKED
FOR AND I VOTE. MEASURE UH, IT'S
OUT ON A ROLL CALL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SENATOR MAN. I WOULD
LIKE TO LEAD WITH 13 84. YES
SIR. THANK YOU. MR CHAIR. I WANT
TO START RIGHT JUST ANNOUNCING
THAT WE WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
EXTENSIVE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED BY
THE COMMITTEE S B. 13 84 WOULD
STRENGTHEN SAFETY STANDARDS FOR
GUN RETAILERS. AT PREVENTS
THEFTS, THEFTS AND TAKE STEPS TO
45 FACILITIES AGAINST GUN
TRAFFICKING. THIS LEGISLATION
WOULD ALSO REQUIRE RETAILERS TO
MAINTAIN $1 MILLION IN LIABILITY
INSURANCE. WHILE IN THE BUSINESS
OF SELLING FIREARMS TO ENSURE
THAT VICTIMS OF NEGLIGENT,
IRRESPONSIBLE OR CRIMINAL
ACTIONS CAN BE COMPENSATED. IT'S
WELL RESEARCHED THAT THE ILLEGAL
FIREARMS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST
WRONGDOING TYPICALLY BEGIN AS
LEGAL FIREARM PURCHASES THAT ARE
THEN FUNNELED INTO AN ILLEGAL
MARKET, ACCORDING TO DATA FROM
THE GIFFORDS LAWCENTER. MORE
THAN 30,000 STRAW PURCHASES OR
ATTEMPTED EACH YEAR. STRAW
PURCHASE IS WHEN A FIREARM IS
PURCHASED LEGALLY, BUT THEN
SUBSEQUENTLY FUNNELED AN ILLEGAL
BUYER OR MARKET. WHILE GUN
DEALERS ARE CONSIDERED FIRST IN
LINE TO ENSURE TO SECURE THE
LAWFUL TRANSFER FIREARMS.
THERE'S CURRENTLY NO VIDEO OR
AUDIO SECURITY REQUIREMENTS TO
SURVEIL ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. UH
THEFT OF GUN RETAILERS IS A
PERSISTENT PROBLEM IN

WHICH FIREARMS REACHED THE

PREVIOUSLY WITH RESPECT TO THE
PROCESS, JUST BEING THE GUY
THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO RIDE
THIS OUT FOR THE NEXT BILL AS
WELL AND GET IT ON THE RECORD,
AND I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO.
RECOGNIZE YOU DID TAKE THE
AMENDMENT THAT WOULD HAVE
CREATED AN IN HOUSE TRAINING
SYSTEM WITH RESPECT TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, AND THAT
HAD A ASSOCIATED LEVEL OF COSTS
THAT EXCEEDED $1 MILLION IN THE
FIRST YEAR, AND IT JUMPS
DRAMATICALLY IN THE 2ND 3RD AND
4TH YEARS TO OVER 2.42 AS MUCH
AS $2.7 MILLION WHILE
RECOGNIZING THAT WITHIN THIS
BUDGET THE REAL ISSUE, AND THIS
IS WHAT TRIGGERS IT. FOR THE
PROCESS PORTION THERE'S STILL
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS A
THIRD PARTY COMPONENT OF THIS
pYEAR FOR 22 23. IT GROWS TO 1.5
MILLION IN 23 24 1.3 MILLION IN
24 25. IT STARTS TO TAPER OFF
UNTIL YOU GET DOWN TO THE 27 28
YEAR, WHICH WILL GET IT TO ABOUT
345,000 ON AN ANNUALIZED BASIS
ONCE THEY HAVE THAT SYSTEM,
CONTINUING TO GO IF IT CONTINUES
TO OPERATE. AS ITS PROJECTED
TODAY BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT'S ON THE RECORD FOR
EVERYONE, AND I APPRECIATE ALL
THE WORK THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
DO. HERE TODAY. SEEING NO OTHER
MEMBERS WHO HAS A COMMENT.
SENATOR AGAIN. WE DO SUPPORT
SUPPORT AND APPRECIATE YOUR
LEADERSHIP IN THIS AREA, AND YOU
KNOW, THESE ARE REVIEWING THESE
AS A PACKAGE OF BILLS THAT WE

RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO VOTE.
THIS BILL IS OUT ON A B ROLL
CALL. THANK YOU. AND NOW YOU
HAVE 9 15. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR,
SP 9 15 WOULD PROHIBIT THE SALE
OF FIREARMS AND AMMUNITIONS ON
STATE PROPERTY, EFFECTIVELY
ENDING GUN SHOWS ON ALL STATE
FAIRGROUNDS AND OTHER PUBLIC
PROPERTIES. A MONTH AFTER MONTH
. WE HAVE SEEN HORRIFYING EVENTS
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY RELATED TO
GUN VIOLENCE. BUFFALO, NEW YORK
OF ALL DAY, TEXAS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA IN MY HOME DISTRICT
IN LAGUNA WOODS IN A CHURCH, UM
, WE'RE GONNA WHICH IS ONE OF
THE SAFEST COMMUNITIES IN THE
COUNTRY. THERE IS LITERALLY NO
PLACE RIGHT NOW. THEY'RE JUST
SAFE FROM THE SPECTER OF GUN
VIOLENCE. AND WE KNEW THIS WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN BASED ON THE,
UH, MASS AMOUNT OF GUN SALES
THAT WE SAW OVER THE LAST TWO
YEARS. THE EVIDENCE IS FAIRLY
CLEAR. GUNS LEAD TO MORE GUN
VIOLENCE. AND WHILE THE SECOND
AMENDMENT PROTECTS THE RIGHT TO
OWN GUNS, THERE'S NOTHING THAT
SAYS THAT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HAS TO BE COMPLICIT
IN ALLOWING OUR TAXPAYER ON
PUBLIC PROPERTIES TO BE PART OF
THIS. TERRIFYING CYCLE OF GUNS
LEADING TO GUN VIOLENCE. IT'S
TIME TO GET THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA OUT OF THE BUSINESS
OF SELLING GUNS AND AMMUNITION.
I BELIEVE THIS BILL WILL MAKE
OUR COMMUNITIES SAFER, AND WE'LL
ALSO GET RID OF A LOT OF ILLEGAL
PURCHASES THAT WE SEE THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE HAS FOUND
OCCUR AT GUN SHOWS. AS WELL AS,
UM, A SALE OF GHOST GUNS AND
PRECURSOR PARTS THAT IS LED TO
SO MANY CRIMES SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU.

IN CUBA AT THIS TIME IT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE. ARE THERE ANY
QUESTIONS, DOCTOR QUIRKE? UM
SHOW IN PUBLIC SAFETY. I GAVE
COURTESY VOTE BECAUSE OTHERWISE
THE BILL WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN
OUT AND I DO THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT THAT EVERYONE HAS
A CHANCE TO VOTE ON IT. UM BUT
THE BILL HASN'T CHANGED HIS
PUBLIC SAFETY. THEREFORE I'M
GOING TO STAY OFF BECAUSE I
THINK IT MAKES US LESS SAFE. AND
THE REASON FOR THAT IS IF
THERE'S ANY SAFE PLACE TO SELL
GUNS AT A AT ONE OF THESE.
FRENCH IS, YEAH. THAT THAT
THAT'S IT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE ANOTHER PLACES WHICH ARE
NOT SAFE. SO I'LL BE STAYING OFF
THE BILL TODAY. THANK YOU. AS
CHAIR. DID YOU HAVE A. THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR. UM AS I SAID
EARLIER, SAME COMMENTS WITH
RESPECT TO THE PROCESS, BUT I
WOULD JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE FOR
THE RECORD BECAUSE WE DIDN'T GET
ANYTHING FROM DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. I DO WANT TO RECOGNIZE
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DOES
HAVE A FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT SET OF
COSTS FOR THIS OF FOR THE
GENERAL FINDING ITS $229,000 FOR
FISCAL YEAR 22 23. 396,000 IN
FISCAL YEAR 23, 24 396,000 AND
FISCAL YEAR 24, 25 216 AND
FISCAL YEAR 25 26 A AND
ADDITIONAL COST GOING ON
THEREAFTER, UM THAT DOESN'T
INCLUDE THE COST THAT WILL BE
IMPACTING THE LOCAL FAIRGROUNDS
ARE STATE GROUNDS, OUR OWN
PROPERTIES THAT WOULD BE
IMPACTED AND, AS WAS ALREADY
COMMENTED, THESE ARE VERY SAFE
LOCATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
RECOGNIZED. SO I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT'S ON THE RECORD
AND I APPRECIATE YOUR EFFORTS
AND WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH. I THINK WE CAN
ENTERTAIN A MOTION AT THIS
POINT. THE DEMOTION. WE NEED A
MOTION. THIS IS A DO PASS ON
SENATE BILL 9 15. WILSON MOVES
IS THEIR SECOND SECOND MY SUMMER
PH. LIKE TO CLOSE. YES I WOULD
JUST POINT OUT. I REALIZED IT'S
THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE AND
WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT COSTS.
THE GENERAL FUND. THE COSTS OF
GUN VIOLENCE ARE ASTRONOMICAL,
AND WE COULD GO INTO STUDY AFTER
STUDY. I BELIEVE GUNSHOWS
CONTRIBUTE MEANINGFULLY TO GUN
VIOLENCE. I THINK THE EVIDENCE
IS FAIRLY CLEAR ON THIS POINT.
AND SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO
VOTE. THIS BILL IS OUT ON A B
ROLL CALL. THANK YOU, SENATOR.
SENATOR SKINNER. SB 9 60.
THANK YOU, UH, CHAIR AND MEMBERS
PLEASED TO PRESENT SB 9 60,
WHICH WOULD REMOVE THE PROVISION
THAT BLOCKS NON CITIZENS WHO
HAVE FULL LEGAL WORK
AUTHORIZATION AND NOTE THAT FULL
LEGAL WORK AUTHORIZATION TO
SERVE THEIR CITY OR COMMUNITY AS
A PEACE OFFICER. NOW THIS WAS
BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BY THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA BECAUSE
AS WE KNOW MANY OF OUR POLICE
DEPARTMENTS ARE HAVING TROUBLE
FILLING THEIR ACADEMIES AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA HAD A
NUMBER OF CADETS IN THEIR
ACADEMY, WHO THEY WERE VERY
IMPRESSED WITH. AND WE'RE
INTERESTED IN HIRING, BUT THEY
FOUND THAT BECAUSE THESE
INDIVIDUALS PERHAPS HAD ONLY A
GREEN CARD OR OTHERWISE OTHER
FULL WORK STATUS, BUT WE'RE NOT
MORNIN, THE US THAT THEY WOULD
NOT BE ABLE TO SERVED AS POLICE
OFFICERS. AND. THEY THE
UNIVERSITY FELT THAT THIS WAS
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HOW THE
FACT THAT US MILITARY YOU CAN
SERVE WITH THIS STATUS. AND YOU
CAN EVEN BE AN OFFICER IN THE
MILITARY POLICE WITH THE SAME
STATUS THAT THIS BILL WOULD
ALLOW, SO THEY BROUGHT IT TO MY
ATTENTION. AND TO BE CLEAR THAT
BILL WOULD STILL, UH ALLOW FOR
POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO DO THEIR
FULL, OTHERWISE REQUIREMENTS
SUCH AS BACKGROUND CHECKS. UH
DEEMING THE PERSON GOOD MORAL
CHARACTER REQUIRING POST
TRAINING ALL OF THAT THIS BILL
HAS NO IMPACT ON ANY OF THOSE
PURELY ALLOWS FOR A DEPARTMENT
THAT IS INTERESTED IN DOING SO
TO OFFER EMPLOYMENT TO A PERSON
WITH FULL LEGAL WORK STATUS. UM
THE FISCAL IMPACT THAT WE
RECEIVED FROM DOJ WAS NOT
SIGNIFICANT AND ABSORBABLE, AND
THEY ALSO INDICATED THERE WAS NO
ADDITIONAL COST TO POST AND WITH
THAT, I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. MOVED
THE BILL. AND MOVED AND
SECONDED. DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
