BY MS BOERNER HORVATH. A SEMI

AND OTHERS RELATIVE TO TITLE
NINE. MR BOERNER HORVATH. YES
DEAR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS,
AGUILAR 23 WOULD COMMEMORATE THE
50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
ENACTMENT OF TITLE NINE AND
WOULD URGE CALIFORNIANS TO
CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
ACHIEVE THE GOALS SET BY TITLE
NINE AS SPECIFIED. THANK YOU TO
THE SPEAKER PRO TEM FOR
ACKNOWLEDGING OUR SPECIAL GUESTS
IN THE GALLERY. AFTER THIS
PRESENTATION TODAY, JUNE 23RD
2022 MARKS EXACTLY 50 YEARS
SINCE THE PASSAGE OF ONE OF THE
MOST CONSEQUENTIAL LAW LAWS FOR
THE EQUAL TREATMENT OF WOMEN AND
GIRLS AND EDUCATION AND SPORTS.
AS OF 2019, THE GIRLS HIGH
SCHOOL ATHLETIC PARTICIPATION
RATE IS GREATER THAN 10 TIMES
WHAT IT WAS 50 YEARS AGO, AN
INCREASE OF MORE THAN 1000. WELL
TITLE NINE. THE EDUCATION
AMENDMENTS OF 1972 IS WIDELY
KNOWN FOR ENSURING EQUAL ACCESS
TO WOMEN AND GROW ATHLETES. THE
LAW ACTUALLY HAS A MUCH BROADER
APPLICATION AND EFFECT. THE
RESOLUTION. BOTH ACKNOWLEDGES
THE PROGRESS WE'VE MADE SINCE
TITLE NINE AND THE DISTANCE WE
STILL HAVE TO GO. THE
EDUCATIONAL EQUITY GUARANTEED
ENTITLED MIND IS NOT SOLELY
APPLY TO WOMEN. IT PROTECTS
EVERYONE FROM SEX BASED
DISCRIMINATION, REGARDLESS OF
REAL OR PERCEIVED SEX, GENDER,
IDENTITY OR GENDER EXPRESSION.
DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF
SEX CAN INCLUDE SEXUAL REST MINT
SEXUAL VIOLENCE, INCLUDING RAPE,
AND SEXUAL COERCION. TITLE NINE
HAS BEEN USED AS THE BASIS FOR A
NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ALLEGING
SEXUAL VIOLENCE ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES. AS SEXUAL VIOLENCE
INTERFERES WITH THAT STUDENT'S
RIGHT TO RECEIVE EDUCATION FREE
FROM DISCRIMINATION. ALTHOUGH
TITLE NINE HAS INCREASED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS AND
WOMEN IN ACADEMICS, SPORTS AND
OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES, IT
IS NOT YET ACHIEVED THE FOR THE
GOAL OF FULL EQUALITY. THIS
RESOLUTION URGES CALIFORNIANS TO
CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER TO
ACHIEVE THE GOALS SET FORTH BY
TITLE NINE OF INCREASED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS AND
WOMEN IN ACADEMICS, SPORTS AND
OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT THE FIRST
WILL BE OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS.
THANK YOU, MR BOERNER HORVATH.
MISS VALLADARES, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. TODAY I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF A J. R 23. ANYONE WHO HAS
PLAYED SPORTS KNOWS THAT THEY
TEACH YOU TO COLLABORATE WITH
TEAMMATES TO BE COMPETITIVE AND
TO WORK HARD. THESE ARE SKILLS
THAT EVERY YOUNG GIRL SHOULD
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE
AND LEARN ONLINE MADE IT
POSSIBLE FOR MILLIONS OF WOMEN
LIKE ME TO PLAY SPORTS IN
SCHOOLS AND LEARN THESE VALUABLE
SKILLS. AS A YOUNGER GROWING UP
IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
SPORTS WERE ALWAYS A SIGNIFICANT
PART OF MY LIFE AND SPECIAL PART
OF MY LIFE. I PLAYED BASKETBALL
THROUGHOUT JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH
SCHOOL, AND ALTHOUGH I WASN'T AS
GOOD AS LISA LESLIE OR REBECCA
LOBO I GREW UP. I GREW SO MUCH
BECAUSE OF THE SPORT. BASKETBALL
HELPED ME GIVE A STRONG WORK
ETHIC AND COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT
THEY STILL USE EVERYDAY EVEN
HERE IN THE STATE ASSEMBLY.
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. MANY YOUNG
GIRLS ARE GETTING INVOLVED IN
SPORTS FOR THE FIRST TIME
BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS GENERATIONS
OF WOMEN WHO HAVE PAVED THE WAY
UNDER TITLE NINE. IN MY DISTRICT
. WE HAD TWO AMAZING FEMALE
ATHLETES. ALLYSON FELIX AND ABBY
WET SAUL BREAK OLYMPIC RECORDS.
WE ALSO HAD THE TRINITY
CLASSICAL ACADEMY GIRLS
BASKETBALL TEAM. BRING HOME THE
FIVE A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP. YOUNG
GIRLS WATCH THESE AT ATHLETES
COMPLETE COMPETE, AND THEY FEEL
INSPIRED BY THEIR INCREDIBLE
HARD WORK. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE
MY DAUGHTER WATCH THEM COMPETE.
AND EVER SINCE THEN, SHE HAS
WANTED TO TRY EVERY SPORT
POSSIBLE FROM SWIMMING TO
SOCCER. YOU NAME IT. SPORTS ARE
AN EXCEPTIONAL WAY FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE TO LEARN VALUABLE SKILLS.
TITLE NINE MADE IT SO THAT YOUNG
GIRLS CAN LEARN THOSE SKILLS TO
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE
OF AGE ARE 23 TO COME AROUND
COMMEMORATE THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY. THANK YOU, MR
VALLADARES. MISS QUIRK-SILVA,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. GOOD MORNING.
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS STRAW
STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF AGE
JR 23. TODAY MARKS THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE NINE.
GROWING UP. IN 1977. YES, I'M
AGING MYSELF. I STARTED HIGH
SCHOOL. AND AT THAT POINT I HAD
ALREADY BEEN A SWIMMER AND
WANTED TO PLAY WATER POLO. AND
GUESS WHAT? THERE WAS NO WOMEN'S
WATER POLO TEAM. I THINK THAT
WAS THE BEGINNING OF ME STEPPING
OUT A LITTLE BIT, WHICH WAS I
JOINED THE BOYS WATER POLO TEAM.
BUT THE COACH AT THAT TIME MUST
NOT HAVE KNOWN MUCH ABOUT TITLE
NINE AS HE ASKED ME TO, UH, IN
ESSENCE, TRY OUT WHEN NONE OF
THE BOYS HAD TO TRY OUT TO
ACTUALLY SEE IF I COULD SWIM.
YES I COULD SWIM. AND YES, I
PLAYED WATER POLO ON THE BOYS
WATER POLO TEAM IN 1977 AND
1978. I WASN'T VERY GOOD, BUT I
CONTINUED TO SWIM FOR NOT ONLY
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL BUT INTO
COLLEGE AND AGAIN. I DIDN'T WIN
ANY SWIMMING RACES. BUT WHAT DID
I LEARN FROM SPORTS?
DETERMINATION, HARD WORK. AND
ALL OF THOSE CHARACTER SKILLS
THAT JOHN WOODEN TAUGHT HIS
BASKETBALL PLAYERS, WHICH IS HOW
WE SHOULD ALL LIVE AT BEING
RESILIENT. HARD WORK AND SO MUCH
MORE. IN 2011. BRANDI CHASTAIN.
THE HISTORIC SOCCER PLAYER CAME
TO THIS ASSEMBLY FLOOR TO BE
RECOGNIZED. AND CELEBRATED. AND
SADLY, IN 2011 1 OF THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GOT UP AND
SPOKE AND SAID HE DIDN'T THINK
THAT TITLE NINE HAD MADE MUCH OF
A DIFFERENCE. THERE'S ACTUALLY A
PHOTO OF HER KIND OF ROLLING
OVER AND SHOCK AND IT WAS SO
SHOCKING. BECAUSE ANY OF US
WOMEN KNOW HOW MUCH TITLE NINE
HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE. THE GOOD
NEWS IS FOR MANY YOUNG GIRLS
TODAY. THEY DON'T EVEN NEED TO
QUESTION IF THEY CAN PLAY A
SPORT BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY WOMEN'S
SPORTS MEN'S SPORTS ANY SPORT
THEY WANT, WANT TO AND WOMEN
JUST THIS YEAR ON THE SOCCER
TEAM, WOMEN'S SOCCER PLAYERS WHO
WE KNOW HAVE DONE SO WELL
WINNING GOLD MEDALS ARE NOW HAVE
FOUGT FOR EQUAL PAY. SO WE'VE
COME A LONG WAY, AS THEY SAY.
BUT WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO WE
KNOW MANY TIMES, WOMEN OF COLOR
ARE SHUT OUT MANY TIMES. IT'S
FOR FINANCES, NOT TO BE ABLE TO
PLAY THE SPORTS, BUT I'M PROUD
TO NOT ONLY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
PLAY IN THOSE EARLY DAYS, AND I
KNOW IT'S BEEN THE FOUNDATION
FOR WHAT I DO NOW. I SUPPORT A G
R 23 ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT TO.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MISS
QUIRK-SILVA, MISS WILSON, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. GOOD MORNING, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE BLACK
CAUCUS. I RISE TO SUPPORT A J. R
23 COMMEMORATING TODAY AS THE
50TH ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE NINE.
HISTORICALLY WOMEN HAVE BEEN
KNOWN TO BREAK BARRIERS AND
SHATTERED GLASS CEILINGS FROM
SEVING IN WORLD WAR TWO
MOBILIZING AND ORGANIZING
CAMPAIGNS FOR THE RIGHT TO VOTE
TO HOLDING LEADERSHIP POSITIONS
AND ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT.
WOMEN ARE AN INTEGRAL PART OF
THE STATE AND COUNTRY. TITLE
NINE IS REGARDED NOT ONLY AS THE
MOST IMPORTANT LAW PASSED FOR
WOMEN IN CONGRESS SINCE WOMEN
OBTAINED THE RIGHT TO VOTE, BUT
ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
PIECES OF CIVIL RIGHTS
LEGISLATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
TITLE NINE FOREVER CHANGED THE
LANDSCAPE OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN
REGARD TO INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS%
, HIRING, PROMOTION, ADMISSIONS
, SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT
COMPLAINTS. SHORTLY AFTER THE
PASSING OF CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF
1964. CONGRESS RECOGNIZED THE
CRITICAL NEED TO FILL THE GAP
LEFT OPEN BY TITLE SEVEN AND
FOUR OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. TO
DIRECTLY ADDRESS SEX AND GENDER
DISCRIMINATION IN EDUCATION.
BEFORE THE ENACTMENT OF TITLE
NINE WOMEN ACCOUNTED FOR LESS
THAN 10% OF ALL MEDICAL AND LAW
SCHOOL GRADUATES, WHILE FEWER
THAN 4% OF GIRLS PLAYED HIGH
SCHOOL SPORTS SCHOOLS COULD
LEGALLY DENY CLASSROOM
OPPORTUNITIES REJECT THEM FROM
COLLEGES JUST FOR BEING WOMEN
PREVENT WOMEN FROM COMPETING IN
ATHLETICS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST
PREGNANT STUDENTS. SANCTION
HAZING AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND
RETALIATE AGAINST THOSE WHO
ADVOCATED FOR EQUALITY. HOWEVER
THE LAW HAS PASSED, THE LAW HAS
HAD THE MOST MEASURABLE IMPACT
IN SPORTS AFTER THE 1984 U. S
SUPREME COURT GROVE CITY VERSUS
BELL SOME OF OUR NATION'S BEST
FEMALE ATHLETES, COACHES AND
ATHLETIC TRAINERS PLAYED OR HELD
LEADERSHIP ROLES AT THE
COLLEGIATE LEVEL AND HAD TITLE
NINE PROTECTIONS. SLOAN GREEN.
THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO COACH A
COLLEGELACROSSE TEAM. CANDACE
STORY, LEAD THE FIRST BLACK
WOMAN TO BE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AT
VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY. TWO TIME
OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST AND W. N B
, A PLAYER FOR THE PHOENIX
MERCURY. BRITTNEY GRINER, WHO IS
STILL BEING DETAINED IN RUSSIA
TODAY. SHE PLAYED COLLEGE
BASKETBALL FOR THE BAYLOR, LADY
BEARS AND WACO, TEXAS. SHE IS
THE ONLY N C. DOUBLE A
BASKETBALL PLAYER, MALE OR
FEMALE TO BOTH SCORE 2000 POINTS
AND BLOCK 500 SHOTS. THIS IS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE TITLE NINE IS
MOST OFTEN IDENTIFY WITH
PROMOTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SPORTS PARTICIPATION FOR FEMALES
AND ATHLETICS. HOWEVER, NEITHER
THE WORDS SPORTS NOR THE WORD
ATHLETICS ARE MENTIONED IN THE
ORIGINAL 37 WORD STATUTE.
DESPITE ALL OF THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND GLASS
SHATTERING ADVANCES MADE SINCE
THE ENACTMENT OF TITLE NINE
WOMEN, PARTICULARLY THOSE OF
COLOR ARE NOT SEEING THE SAME
LEVEL OF SUCCESS. ACCORDING TO A
NEW ÁP. NRC NATIONAL WOMEN'S
HISTORY MUSEUM POLL. ALTHOUGH
61% OF MEN PERCEIVE A GREAT
DEAL, OR A LOT OF PROGRESS HAS
BEEN MADE IN ACHIEVING EQUAL
TREATMENT FOR WOMEN OVER THE
LAST 50 YEARS, INCLUDING AS IT
RELATES TO EDUCATION, SPORTS AND
PROTECTIONS AGAINST VIOLENCE.
ONLY 37% OF WOMEN FEEL THE SAME.
AMONG WOMEN OF COLOR, 36% SAY
THERE HAS BEEN A GREAT DEAL OF
PROGRESS MADE SINCE TITLE NINE.
MEANWHILE JUST 33% OF L G B T Q
WOMEN AND 25% OF LOW INCOME
WOMEN AGREE. DOING A CELEBRATION
OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY WITH
FIRST LADY OF JOE BIDEN. FORMER
TENNIS SUPERSTAR AND TRAILBLAZER
, BILLIE JEAN KING SAID THE
FOLLOWING THE PRIMARY
BENEFICIARIES OF TITLE NINE HAVE
BEEN WHITE SUBURBAN GIRLS. LET'S
USE THIS MILESTONE ANNIVERSARY
TO REENERGIZE ARE FOCUSED ON
STRENGTHENING AD ADVANCING
EQUITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
GIRLS AND WOMEN, ESPECIALLY
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND
BY THE LAW. INCLUDING GIRLS OF
COLOR. GIRLS WITH DISABILITIES,
TRANS ATHLETES AND ALL LGBT Q.
PLUS YOUTH. MEMBERS IN HONOR OF
TITLE NINE. LET US NOT ONLY
SUPPORT THIS MEASURE TODAY, BUT
ALSO REMAIN PERSISTENT AND
VIGILANT. ALL WOMEN ISSUES. WE
HAVE A MORAL OBLIGATION TO
PROMOTE EQUITY AND EQUITY AND
EQUALITY FOR ALL, WHICH IS NOT
ONLY CONSISTENT WITH
CALIFORNIA'S VALUES BUT OUR CORE
DEMOCRATIC VALUES WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON A J. R 23. THANK YOU, MISS
WILSON. MR MONTI'S YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS AS VICE
CHAIR, THE CALIFORNIA LATINO
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF A J. R. 23
COMMEMORATING THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF THE ENACTMENT OF
TITLE NINE. ALTHOUGH THIS
LEGISLATION IS KNOWN FOR ITS
IMPACT ON SCHOOL ATHLETIC
PROGRAMS, IT IS HAS BROAD
IMPLEMENTATION TITLE NINE
INSURERS LEGAL PROTECTIONS
AGAINST DISCRIMINATION FOR
STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES, WHICH
INCLUDES PROTECTIONS AGAINST
SEXUAL HARASSMENT. TITLE NINE.
LAW REQUIRES THAT COLLEGE
CAMPUSES HAVE A STRUCTURE IN
PLACE TO RESPOND TO REPORTS OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT.
TITLE NINE PROTECTS LGBT Q
SURVIVORS, AND IT PROVIDES A
VITAL PROTECTIONS TO LGBT Q
STUDENTS WHO FACE BULLYING AND
HARASSMENT THAT CAN BECOME A
BARRIER TO THEIR EDUCATION.
DESPITE THE SUCCESS OF TITLE
NINE, IT HAS ROOM TO IMPROVE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL STUDENTS
IN OUR STATE AND IN OUR COUNTRY
WHILE WE ARE HERE TODAY TO
RECOGNIZE HOW FAR WE HAVE COME,
IT IS IMPORTANT TO HIGHLIGHT
THAT THERE IS STILL SO MUCH WORK
TO DO. COLLEAGUES DURING THIS
TIME DURING MY TIME IN THE
LEGISLATURE, I HAVE AUTHORED
VARIOUS PIECES OF LEGISLATION
THAT HAVE FORTIFIED OUR TITLE
NINE PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA.
PROTECTED SURVIVORS THROUGH
SURVIVOR CENTERED IN TRAUMA AND
FOREIGN PRACTICES TO ENSURE SAFE
, FAIR AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
ALTHOUGH TITLE NINE HAS GONE
THROUGH SEVERAL POLICY CHANGES
OVER THE PAST 11 YEARS, WE MUST
CONTINUE TO TAKE STEPS TOWARDS
UNDOING THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION'S TITLE. NINE
REGULATIONS. TO CONTINUE TO
PROTECT STUDENTS SURVIVORS. WE
MUST ALSO ENSURE THE PROTECTION
OF LGBTQ STUDENTS IN THE FACE OF
VIOLENT THREATS AND HATEFUL
RHETORIC. ADDITIONALLY, DURING
THE TIME WHEN REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS ARE UNDER ATTACK.
PREGNANT AND PARENTS STUDENTS
SHOULD ENCOUNTER STRONG
PROTECTIONS UNDER TITLE NINE TO
COMBAT ANY POSSIBLE
DISCRIMINATION OR HARASSMENT.
THANKFULLY THIS MORNING, THE U.
S DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
RELEASED THEIR PROPOSED CHANGES
TO THE 2020 TITLE. NINE RULE.
THIS IS A GOOD STEP TOWARDS
UNDOING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
SHINS HARMFUL OH, NINE
REGULATIONS WE MUST SEEK TO END
OUR DECADES LONG WORK OF
GENERATIONS WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO
PROTECT ALL STUDENTS ACROSS OUR
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN IVO ON A
J. R 23. THANK YOU. MR BRONTE'S
MISS GARCIA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
AT YOUR DESK. THANK YOU.
EVERYBODY SAYS THE CHAIR OF THE
LEGISLATIVE WOMAN'S CAUCUS. AND
I WANT TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE
FROM THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICT 76
FOR HER LEADERSHIP, NOT JUST
TODAY, BUT OVER THE YEARS HERE
AS WELL. THE REALITY IS THAT
TITLE LINE HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT
JUST SPORTS. UH IT'S BEEN ABOUT
ENSURING EQUITY AND BREAKING
BARRIERS CREATED BY OUR HETERO
MALE DOMINATED WORLD OUT THERE
TODAY, AND WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF
PROGRESS AND WE HAVE A LOT TO
CELEBRATE ON THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY TODAY. AND I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT. WE CELEBRATE
THAT. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. WE
CELEBRATE ALL THE LEADERS UP TO
THIS POINT. BUT IT'S EQUALLY
IMPORTANT OR MORE IMPORTANT THAT
WE CONTINUE TO DO THE GOOD WORK
SO WE CAN ACTUALLY REACH THAT
EQUITY THAT IS STILL BEEN SO
ELUSIVE TO US OUT THERE FOR ALL
OF OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS OUT
THERE. I ALSO WANT TO ENCOURAGE
YOU TO PARTICIPATE OR CHEER ON
MY COLLEAGUE FROM THE 76TH
DISTRICT THAT SHE'LL BE LEADING
A PRESS CONFERENCE LATER TODAY
WITH THE COMMISSION ON THE
STATUS OF WOMEN AND GROWTH. TO
HIGHLIGHT THE BARRIERS THAT
GIRLS ARE DBT Q AND OTHER
COMMUNITY MEMBERS STILL FACE OUT
THERE IN SCHOOLS AND SPORTS AND
SOCIETY IN GENERAL. AND WITH
THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE
COLLECTING SPORTS BRAS. ONE OF
THE BARRIERS WE HAVE IS HAVING
THE PROPER EQUIPMENT TO BE ABLE
TO ENGAGE IN THE SPORTS
SOMETHING WE DON'T TALK ABOUT
VERY OFTEN. BUT I HOPE THROUGH
YOUR GENEROSITY WE COULD COLLECT
A VARIETY OF SPORTS PRESIDENT
DONATE THEM TO INDIVIDUALS WHO
NEED OUT THERE. AS WE
HIGHLIGHTED THE WORK WE STILL
HAVE TO DO AND SO THAT'S
HAPPENING TODAY. AND THE DRIVE
WILL CONTINUE WITH THAT. AND SO
TO MY COLLEAGUE. THANK YOU FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP TO MY COLLEAGUES
WHO SPOKE THANK YOU FOR YOUR

I AM HONORED TO RISE TODAY TO

SEEKS TO RECOGNIZE THE
SACRIFICES OF OUR CALIFORNIA
FIREFIGHTERS AND MEMORIALIZE
THOSE WHO PASSED AWAY AND THEIR
SERVICE TO THIS STATE BY
DECLARING THE MONTH OF JULY TO
BE FIREFIGHTER APPRECIATION
MONTH IN CALIFORNIA. IN JULY.
30TH 2022 TO BE CALIFORNIA
FIREFIGHTER'S MEMORIAL DAY.
ACCORDING TO THE STATE FIRE
MARSHAL, CALIFORNIA FIREFIGHTERS
RESPOND TO APPROXIMATELY THREE
MILLION INCIDENTS ACROSS THE
STATE EACH YEAR. IN ADDITION TO
FIGHTING FIRES AND PROVIDING
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES,
FIREFIGHTERS RESPOND TO NATURAL
DISASTERS, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
INCIDENTS. WATER RESCUE
EMERGENCIES, HIGH ANGLE AND
CONFINED SPACE EMERGENCIES AND
OTHER GENERAL PUBLIC SERVICE
CALLS. UNFORTUNATELY THE LAST
FIVE YEARS OF ANNUAL INCIDENT
REPORTS SHOW AN INCREASING LEVEL
OF DANGERS IN THE SERVICE. OUR
FIREFIGHTERS PROVIDE. A LOT OF
THE NEW REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE
FOR BUILDING THAT MAKE THOSE
BUILDINGS SAFER, ALSO MAKE IT
MORE DANGEROUS FOR FIREFIGHTERS.
THIS MEANS CALIFORNIA
FIREFIGHTERS ARE INCREASINGLY
COUNTED ON TO SAVE LIVES, EVEN
AS THE RISK TO THEIR OWN
CONTINUES TO INCREASE.
INCREDIBLY DESPITE THE INCREASED
DANGER AND INTENSITY OF THE
EMERGENCIES OF OUR FIREFIGHTERS
RESPOND TO CIVILIAN INJURED
READS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN
DECREASING OVER THE LAST FIVE
YEARS DUE TO THEIR EFFORTS.
CALIFORNIA FIREFIGHTERS JUST
DEMONSTRATE TREMENDOUS COURAGE,
COMMITMENT AND CAPABILITY AND
KEEPING CALIFORNIANS HEALTHY AND
SAFE EVERY DAY, THEY EXEMPLIFY
WHAT IT MEANS TO SERVE OTHERS.
HCR 1 22 IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
REFLECT AND SAY THANK YOU TO THE
HEROES WHO HAVE DEVOTED
THEMSELVES TO SERVING AND
PROTECTING COMMUNITIES ACROSS
THE STATE. ON THE GROUNDS OF THE
CAPITAL. WE HAVE THE
FIREFIGHTERS MEMORIAL
UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE NEXT FOUR
YEARS THAT MEMORIAL IS GOING
THERE. ANTICIPATING THE MOMENT
MORIAL WILL FILL UP AND THIS
YEAR. AFTER A TWO YEAR ABSENCE.
THEY WILL HAVE A MEMORIAL DAY
ARE THEIR SERVICE FOR THE
FIREFIGHTERS THERE. THEY'RE
GOING TO ADD MORE THAN 30 NAMES
TO IT. SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US
TO KEEP IN MIND THE NEED TO MAKE
SPACE. AND. PUT UP ANOTHER
MONUMENT SO WE CAN PUT UP MORE
NAMES. NOBODY FIGHTS TO BE ON
THAT WALL. MOST PEOPLE WANT TO
GET ACROSS THE FINISH LINE LIKE
I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO DO.
BUT FOR MANY OF THEM, THAT'S
THEIR FINISH LINE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. I'M HONORED TO HAVE. MY
COLLEAGUES UP IN THE UP IN THE
CHAMBER WHO ARE ACTIVE DUTY
FIREFIGHTERS. AND UH, OPEN THE
ROLE FOR OR ADD ON. THANK YOU.
THEY WERE SEYARTO. MR RODRIGUEZ
, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS ARISE AS
A PORT, PROUD JOINT AUTHOR OF A
CR 1 22. I WOULD LIKE TO START
BY THANKING ALL THE MEN AND
WOMEN IN UNIFORM FOR DOING WHAT
THEY DO TO KEEP US SAFE. FROM
WATERFOWL WILDFIRES IN OUR
NATIONAL FOREST TO PUTTING OUT A
HOUSE FIRE AND HELPING THOSE IN
NEED. FIREFIGHTERS DESERVE OUR
APPRECIATION AND GRATITUDE FOR
KEEPING US SAFE. LAST YEAR AT
THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT AN
INCIDENT COMMANDERS WHO ARE
BATTLING THE COUNTER FIRE AS IT
WAS MAKING ITS RUN TOWARDS SOUTH
LAKE TAHOE. THOSE RESOURCES WERE
MAXED OUT, AND THEY HAD AN
URGENT NEED FOR MORE FIGHTERS
THAT WERE NOT AVAILABLE. RECENT
COW MATTERS. REPORTS SUGGEST
THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS ARE
UNDERSTAND TANGIBLY STRUGGLING
WITH THE TRAUMA THAT THAT THEY
FACED WITH THE LACK OF SLEEP
LONG HOURS AND STRESS ON THE JOB
IS INFLICTING ON THEM.
CALIFORNIA MUST DO A BETTER JOB
TO SUPPORT OUR FIREFIGHTERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES WITH SUPPORT AND
RESOURCES AS CHAIR OF THE
COMMITTEE ON EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT. IT IS MY HONOR TO
SUPPORT AND HONOR THESE
FIREFIGHTERS. PLEASE JOIN ME IN
SUPPORTING HR. 1 75. THANK YOU.
SAME THANK YOU, MR RODRIGUEZ. MR
PATTERSON RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER MEMBERS I TO RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT. OF A CIA 1 22
AND WANT TO JUST, UH TELL
PERSONAL STORY ABOUT
FIREFIGHTERS IN FRESNO. SEVERAL
MONTHS AGO, I WALKED OUT OF THE
FRONT DOOR OF MY HOME AND LOOKED
TWO HOUSES DOWN ACROSS THE
STREET. THEY WERE ENGULFED IN
FLAMES. THE FIREFIGHTER CALL
WENT IN ABOUT 5 30 IN THAT
AFTERNOON. FIVE OR SIX MINUTES
LATER. IT ENDED UP BEING A THREE
ALARM FIRE. AND I SAW UP CLOSE.
WHAT ARE FIREFIGHTERS DO? AND I
WILL RECALL THAT THEY'RE NOT
ONLY SAVED ALL THE OTHER HOUSES
IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BUT THEY
EXHAUSTED THEMSELVES TO THE
PLACE WHERE THEY WOULD BE LAYING
ON THE GROUND THE LAWNS OF SOME
OF MY NEIGHBORS. PANTING AND IN
OBVIOUS SWEAT, AND YOU LOOK AT
THAT, AND YOU GO, MY, MY LORD.
THANK GOODNESS THAT THEY WERE
THERE. AND ALSO. TO SEE THE
FIREFIGHTERS NOT ONLY DO THE
WORK OF FIGHTING THE FIRE BUT
THESE HOMES, PEOPLE WE LIVE IN
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD 38 YEARS, THE
NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET.
THEY'VE BEEN LIVING THERE LIKE
28 YEARS, THE HOMES WERE FILLED
WITH MEMORIES. AND THE
FIREFIGHTERS AND THE FOLKS IN
THE COMMAND CENTER. COGNIZANT OF
THE SPECIAL MEMENTOS IN THOSE
HOMES. AND WHILE FIGHTING THE
FIRE AND LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR
OWN SAFETY. THEY ALSO WERE
LOOKING OUT FOR THOSE MEMENTOS
THERE. TWO OF OUR NEIGHBORS
ACROSS THE STREET OPENED THEIR
GARAGES UP, AND AS THE
FIREFIGHTERS BROUGHT OUT THE
MEMENTOS THEY WERE PUT INTO SAFE
KEEPING. AND SO I REALLY WANT TO
THANK THE FIREFIGHTERS. YOU DO
THIS ALL THE TIME AND EVERY DAY
AND WE APPRECIATE IT. AND
NOTHING BRINGS THAT MORE HOME
THAN TO STAND TWO HOUSES DOWN.
AND SEE THEM AT WORK. AND SO I
THANK THEM, AND WE APPRECIATE
WHAT THEY WHAT THEY DO. AND THE
OTHER THING. IS THAT I HOPE WE
THINK ABOUT THEM SERIOUSLY. AND
WE PRAY FOR THEIR SAFETY. YOU
KNOW, THEY WEAR THE BADGE, THEY
GET THE TRAINING. BUT THE
FAMILY'S KIND OF CARRY THE
WEIGHT. AND WHEN THE ALARM RINGS
AND THEIR LOVED ONE GOES ON THE
JOB, THEY'RE HOPING AND PRAYING
THAT THEY COME BACK. SAFE. AND
SO, THANKS FROM THE PATERSON
FAMILY. TWO FIREFIGHTERS THANKS
FOR THOSE ON TILLMAN AVENUE IN
FRESNO. WHO SAW HAT THEY DID.
AND WE'RE MOVED BY THE
REMARKABLE PROFESSIONALISM. BUT
THE PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL
SACRIFICE THAT WAS DEMONSTRATED
THAT DAY. THANK YOU. MR
PATTERSON. MR. RAMOS, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF A
CR 1 22. AH! AND IT'S AN
APPRECIATION MONTH FOR
FIREFIGHTERS HERE IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE
NATION, BUT WHAT I WOULD ASK
THAT WE WOULD SHOW APPRECIATION
NOT JUST ONE MONTH OUT OF THE
YEAR, BUT ALL 12 MONTHS BECAUSE
THE FIRE AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY
AND THE RESOURCES THAT ARE THERE
FOR US AS CITIZENS OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. WE SHOULD SHOW
THAT APPRECIATION AND ALSO TO
RECOGNIZE THE MEMORIAL DAY. AND
CERTAINLY FIREFIGHTERS CONTINUE
TO RESPOND TO IN TIMES OF NEED
AND EMERGENCY OF THE FIRES THAT
ARE BURNING. WE'VE SEEN HIM ON
THE NEWS LAST NIGHT. BUT LET'S
NOT FORGET THAT THEY ALSO NEED
RESOURCES TO DO THE JOB THAT
WE'RE ENTRUSTING THEM TO DO. SO
LET'S MAKE SURE AS WE HONOR OUR
FIREFIGHTERS HERE TODAY WITHIN
THIS MONTH. THAT WE HONOR THEM
12 MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR AND TO
ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE THE
RESOURCES THEY NEED TO KEEP OUR
FAMILIES SAFE. I URGE AND I VOTE
FOR A CR 1 22. THANK YOU, MR
RAMOS AND MR LACKEY, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. YES, THANK YOU.
MEMBERS WOULD BE REMISS IF I
DIDN'T AT LEAST SHARE THEIR
STORY REAL QUICKLY. PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE THAT I HAD WHILE
BEING ON THE CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY
PATROL. BACK IN AUGUST, 30TH OF
2000 AND NINE THERE WAS A
DEVASTATING FIRE IN OUR AREA.
AND I WAS ASKED TO RESPOND. TO A
TRAGIC SCENE WHERE FIREFIGHTERS
HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A
COLLISION. WHEN I SAY COLLISION,
THEY DIDN'T UM, RUN TO ANOTHER
VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED, AS
THERE HAD BEEN SUCH A FIRE SURGE
AND SMOKE HAD BUILT UP. UM AN
AREA TO WHERE THEY COULD NO
LONGER SEE AND THE FIREFIGHTERS
DROVE OVER A CLIFF. AND THEY
LOST THEIR LIVES AND FIREFIGHTER
ARNIE KENYANS AND FIRE CAPTAIN
TED HALL LOST THEIR LIVES THAT
DAY. AND WHAT MADE IT SO
INCREDIBLE. FOR A NUMBER OF
THINGS, AND I WOULD JUST SHARE
WITH THEM VERY SHARE WITH YOU
VERY QUICKLY. WHAT THEY WERE
WHEN I RESPONDED BACK TO THE
SCENE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE
AREA WAS SAFE TO RESPOND TO IT
DIDN'T MEAN MY DEFINITION OF
SAFE. CAUSE I WILL TELL YOU AS I
WAS DRIVING BACK. I FOLLOWED A
FIRE TRUCK. AND WHILE FOLLOWING
THAT FIRE TRUCK TREES WERE
BURNING TREES WERE BURNING AND
FALLING IN FRONT OF UH, OUR
PATHWAY WE HAD TO SWERVE AROUND.
AND UM, MY TIRES ACTUALLY
MELTED. THE ROADWAY WAS STILL SO
HOT. AND I HAD TO TAKE OTHER
MEASURES TO GET OUT OF THERE.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT I
ARRIVED ON SCENE AND I SAW
SOMETHING VERY SACRED HAPPENED
AND I WAS TOLD THAT A
FIREFIGHTER. WENT DOWN TO THE
REMAINS TO THE BODIES OF THESE
FIREFIGHTERS WHO HAD LOST THEIR
LIVES AND THE GROUND WAS SO HOT.
WHILE HE WENT DOWN TO PRESERVE
AND TO SHOW HONORED TO THE
REMAINS. HIS SOULS MELTED ON HIS
BOOTS. AND HE HAD TO BE RESCUED
HIMSELF TO COME BACK UP THE
HILL. I THINK VERY FEW OF US
UNDERSTAND THE RISK THAT OUR
FIREFIGHTERS MAKE AND
COURAGEOUSLY BATTLING THESE
THREATENING CIRCUMSTANCES OF A
FIRE. I'VE I'VE HAD TO LEAVE MY
HOME. ON THREE DIFFERENT
OCCASIONS. I'VE HAD TO EVACUATE
BECAUSE OF FIRES. SO THANKFUL
FOR THE SACRIFICE THEY MAKE, AND
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO DIDN'T
SURVIVE IN THAT SACRIFICE AND
ARE I'M VERY HONORED TO SHARE
WITH YOU. THESE TWO BRAVE
FIREFIGHTERS SACRIFICE FOR OUR
BENEFIT, AND I THINK IT'S ONLY
FITTING THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE, UH
, THE SACRIFICE THAT MANY OF
THEM MAKE. FOR OUR BENEFIT, AND
I'M HONORED TO STAND AND SHARE
WITH YOU THIS EXPERIENCE AND TO
SUPPORT THIS MEASURE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR LACKEY. MISS BARTO
. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED TODAY IN
SUPPORT OF A CR 1 22 AND WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM
RIVERSIDE COUNTY FOR BRINGING
FORWARD THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE.
OUR FIGHTER. FIREFIGHTERS ARE
WITH US EVERY SINGLE DAY THERE
WITH US WHEN OUR FAMILIES
EXPERIENCED HOUSE FIRES THERE
WITH US WHEN, AS IN MY DISTRICT,
THEY HAVE TO BATTLE THAT THE
INSANITY OF MOMENTS LIKE THE
GHOST SHIP BUYER THAT TAKES SO
MANY LIVES, AND I JUST WANT TO
ALSO JUST CENTER THE FACT THAT
WHILE THEY RISK THEIR LIVES
EVERY SINGLE DAY THE IMPACT OF
THEIR VOCATION. RISKS THEIR
LIVES ONGOING. LEE THEY FACE
ISSUES OF MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS
BEING FIRST RESPONDERS. THE RISK
CANCER AT HIGHER RATES THAN
ANYONE THAT WE CAN IMAGINE
BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE AND THE
TOXINS THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE IN
EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND I AM
INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE
FIREFIGHTERS THAT I HAVE. IN MY
DISTRICT IN OAKLAND, ALAMEDA AND
SAN LEANDRO AND VERY THANKFUL
THAT THEY HAVE ALSO TAKEN ON A
NEW ASPECT OF THEIR FIRST
RESPONDERS BY BEING AN
ALTERNATIVE TO POLICING SO THAT
WHEN WE HAVE MENTAL HEALTH
CRISES. THEY CAN BE SOME OF THE
FIRST ON THE SCENE, AND SO I
WANT TO THANK THE FIREFIGHTERS
AND RECOGNIZE THAT WE NEED TO
BRING AWARENESS TO THE SCOPE AND
MAGNITUDE OF THE JOB THAT THEY
DO EVERY SINGLE DAY. IN SERVICE
OF OUR COMMUNITY AND RECOGNIZED
