MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS --
SB TWO EIGHTY SIX IS A LOCAL
ELECTIONS BILL THAT WOULD
ALLOW ORANGE COUNTY VOTERS
TO CHOOSE THEIR ORANGE COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION TRUSTEES AND
IN NOVEMBER GENERAL ELECTION
MY HOME COUNTY IS ONE OF ONLY
A HANDFUL IN CALIFORNIA THAT
STILL HOLDS COUNTY BOARD OF
ELECTIONS BUT EDUCATIONAL
ACTIONS IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION
MOST VOTERS I'VE TALKED TO ARE
VERY CONFUSED ABOUT THIS THEY
DON'T REALIZE IT'S A ONE AND
DONE IN THE PRIMARY THIS WOULD
INCREASE VOTER PARTICIPATION
ELIMINATE CONFUSION AND BRING
ORANGE COUNTY IN LINE WITH
THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF
COUNTIES ACROSS OUR STATE I
SIMPLY MOVING THOSE ELECTIONS
FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION FROM
THE PRIMARY TO GENERAL ELECTION
-- THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY HAVE
GREAT IMPACT NOT ONLY ON TURN
OUT BUT PARTICULAR TURNOUT
AMONG COMMUNITIES THAT OFTEN
ARE UNDER REPRESENTED AND
HAVE A PARTICULAR INTEREST
IN EDUCATION INCLUDING YOUNG
PEOPLE RACIAL AND ETHNIC
MINORITIES AND OTHER LOW
PROPENSITY VOTERS IS TO GIVE
YOU ONE EXAMPLE IN THE PRIMARY
ELECTION WE HELD JUST A FEW
WEEKS AGO AND ORANGE COUNTY WE
ONLY HAD THIRTY PERCENT TURNOUT
AYE WE'RE EXPECTING SOMETHING
NORTH OF SEVENTY PERCENT IN THE
GENERAL AND AND THAT DIFFERENCE
IS PRETTY PROFOUND THESE ELECT
INS ARE IMPORTANT COUNTY SCHOOL
BOARD TO THE ONLY ELECTED
SCHOOL BOARDS THAT PROVIDE
OVERSIGHT FOR COMMUNITIES AND
JUVENILE JUSTICE SCHOOLS --
SCHOOLS THE DISPROPORTIONATE
SERVE HOMELESS STUDENTS
FOSTER YOUTH AND OTHERS
WERE DISENFRANCHISED FROM
TRADITIONAL EDUCATION WE OWE IT
TO THESE CHILDREN TO GIVE THEM
TRUSTEES WHO REPRESENT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF THE COMMUNITY AND
THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN WITH HIGH
VOTER PARTICIPATION THANK YOU
AFTER I BOUGHT THANK YOU OTHERS
IN SUPPORT MAY COME FORWARD
ARE THERE ANY WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT NOT HERE TO IT APPEARS
NOT OKAY -- I ARE THERE ANY
OTHERS IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
MAY COME FORWARD STATE YOUR
NAME AFFILIATION AND POSITION
ON THE BILL ONLY SAYING
NO IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION
THANK YOU COMPORT
HEY
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MY
TIME SHE HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION THE SUBJECT OF THIS
BILL IN OPPOSITION TO SB TWO
EIGHTY SIX ORANGE COUNTY'S
A CHARTER COUNTY IT ALREADY
HAS THE AUTHORITY TO MOVE ITS
SELECTIONS OF LOCAL BOARDS
FROM THE JUNE PRIMARY TO THE
NOVEMBER GENERAL OR VICE VERSA
ANY TIME IT CHOOSES TO GEORGE
COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
HAVE NOT PASSED ANY RESOLUTION
ASKING FOR THIS ACTION YOURS
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS
NOT ASKED FOR THIS ACTION IN
FACT IT DOESN'T NEED A STATE
LAW IT DOESN'T NEED S.
B.
TWO EIGHTY SIX TO MAKE THIS
HAPPEN SO ON THAT BASIS THIS
LEGISLATION IS COMPLETELY
UNNECESSARY AND THIS TIME IT'S
CURRENTLY UNWELCOME THAT ALONE
WOULD BE ENOUGH TO ASK FOR A
NO VOTE BUT THERE'S ANOTHER
ISSUE HERE BECAUSE SB TWO
EIGHTY SIX WOULD CREATE A NEW
STATE MANDATED LOCAL PROGRAM
THE ORANGE COUNTY WILL END UP
FILING A TEST CLAIM WITH THE
COMMISSION ON STATE MANDATES
OF THIS BILL IS CHAPTER IN THE
LAW WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE STATE
GENERAL FUND WILL IN FACT BE
ON THE HOOK FOR ALL THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH MOVING THE
ELECTION OF THIS LOCAL BOARD
FROM THE JUNE PRIMARY TO THE
NOVEMBER GENERAL AND THAT WON'T
BE A ONE TIME COST THAT'LL BE
ONGOING COST EVERY TIME THERE'S
A LECTION THERE'S ELECTION
NOW THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE ANALYZE THIS AND
THEY SAY THAT THAT'S GOING TO
COST AT LEAST SEVERAL HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH TIME WE
BELIEVE THAT ESTIMATE IS LOW
AND WE'RE WORKING ON A MORE
ACCURATE ESTIMATE WE BELIEVE
THE COSTS ARE MUCH HIGHER SO
THIS BILL IS NOT BEING ASKED
FOR IT'S NOT NECESSARY IT'S
GOING TO COST THE STATE GENERAL
FUND A TON OF MONEY WHICH
IS GOING TO MATTER MORE AND
MORE WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A BIG
SURPLUS AND FOR ALL OF THOSE
REASONS WE WOULD RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR NO VOTE TODAY THANK
YOU ANY OTHER OPPOSITION IN
THE ROOM SEEING OPPOSITION
WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE -- ANY COMMENTS READY
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MISTER LAKE
I LIKE THANK OFFERINGS BEFORE
IT'S A FAIR COMMONSENSE BILL
WE ALL KNOW THE TURNOUTS ARE
BETTER IN THE FALL AND IT'S
MORE AT THE SERVICE TO THOSE
WHO SERVE AND OBVIOUSLY ON
THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
TO BE MORE REPRESENTATIVE
STRICT AND -- HOPEFULLY
MOVE THE BILL IF WE WHEN THE
TIME'S RIGHT BUT GIVEN WHAT
WE ESTABLISH A QUORUM ANNUAL
HAVE YOU WILL HAVE YOU MOVE
THAT BILL THIS BILL IS COMPLETE
IF WE CAN ESTABLISH A QUORUM
PLACE O'DONNELL O'DONNELL
HERE DALLI DALLI HERE THAN
IT DAN LEE LEE HERE MCCARTY
-- MCCARTY HERE QUIRK-SILVA
WE DO HAVE A QUORUM SO I MISTER
LEAVE DO YOU WISH TO MAKE A
MOTION SO DOES MOVE AYE MR LEE
AND I HAD AN BY MR MCCARTY WE
DO A MOTION AND A SECOND --
THE MOTION IS SUPPORT THE MID
OCEAN IN SUPPORT OR TO PREVENT
A DO A ANA HELLO ERDOGAN'S DO
PASSED TO APPROPRIATIONS IS THE
MOTION TO PASS APPROPRIATION
-- YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR JUST ADDRESS
THE COST ISSUE THE PRIMARY
COST AS I UNDERSTAND IT IS
SIMPLY MOVING IT FROM A LOWER
TURNOUT PRIMARY AND HAVING
FEWER RECEIVED BALLOTS WHO IN
NOVEMBER GENERAL WHERE WE HAVE
MORE BALLOTS -- THAT WOULD IT
BE EXPECT TO RECEIVE I DON'T
BELIEVE THE COST WILL BE THAT
HIGH IN FACT I THINK IT'LL
PROBABLY BE LESS THAN THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT THE ORANGE
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS
VOTED TO AUTHORIZE TO LOBBY
AGAINST THIS BILL HUNDRED
TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR ABBOTT
GOT IT MISTER MAN BOB WE HAVE
A MOTION SECOND PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL THE MOTION IS DUE PASSED
TO THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
O'DONNELL HI O'DONNELL I DALLI
DALLI NO BENNETT CHEN LI LI I
MCCARTY MCCARTY I QUIRK-SILVA
THE BILL HAS THREE THREE VOTERS
ON CALL WITH THAT I THINK
I'D BE A SENATOR LEYVA COME
FORWARD PLEASE CENTER LEYVA IS
GOING TO RESENT -- ONE SECOND
YEAH FILE ITEM TEN SB THIRTEEN
FORTY THREE BONUS LEYVA YOU
MAY PROCEED THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS SB THIRTEEN FORTY
THREE SIX TO ENSURE THAT EVERY
TEACHER HAS RETIREMENT SECURITY
AFFORDED TO THEM BY OUR STATE
PENSION SYSTEMS SPECIFICALLY
THIS BILL REQUIRES ALL NEWLY
CREATED CHARTER SCHOOLS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE CAL STATE
TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM
CALPERS AND THE CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT
SYSTEM CALPERS ACCORDING
TO CAL STIRS BETWEEN TWENTY
AND FORTY PERCENT OF NEWLY
CREATED CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
OPTING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE
RETIREMENT SYSTEM -- BUT IT
BY NOT ALLOWING TEACHERS TO
ACCESS TO DEFINED BENEFIT
SYSTEM TEACHERS ARE LEFT WITH
RETIREMENT OPTIONS THAT ARE
HEAVILY DEPENDENT ON MARKET
FLUCTUATIONS LIKE A FOUR ONE K.
FOR SCHOOLS FUNDED WITH PUBLIC
DOLLARS SHOULD ENSURE THAT
THEIR EMPLOYEES ARE FOR THE
SAME RETIREMENT OPPORTUNITIES
AS ALL OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEES
EVERY TEACHER SHOULD HAVE THE
SAME OPTIONS NO MATTER WHICH
PUBLIC SCHOOL THEY DECIDE TO
TEACH AT TEACHERS ALREADY DO
HAVE ACCESS TO SO DO NOT HAVE
ACCESS TO SOCIAL SECURITY
BENEFITS THEY SHOULD NOT
BE ADDITIONALLY FINANCIALLY
HAMPERED BY NOT HAVING ACCESS
TO CULTURES OR CALPERS EACH
TEACHER SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE
SB THIRTEEN FORTY THREE ALSO
PUT SAFEGUARDS IN PLACE FOR
RETIREMENT PAYMENTS WHEN A
CHARTER SCHOOL FALLS BEHIND
OR SHUTS ITS DOORS COMPLETELY
WHEN THIS OCCURS THE COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION IN WHICH
THE CHARTER SCHOOLS LOCATED
HAS BEEN REQUIRED TO PAY THAT
BILL THIS CAN BE THE COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION WITH TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
UNEXPECTED AND UNWARRANTED
RETIREMENT PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS
SB THIRTEEN FORTY THREE
CORRECTS THIS BY REQUIRING
REQUIRING COUNTY OFFICES
OF EDUCATION TO WITHHOLD A
REASONABLE PORTION OF A CHARTER
SCHOOLS FUNDING DISBURSEMENT
AND PAY THAT THE RETIREMENT
OBLIGATIONS TO EACH SYSTEM
SYSTEM WE PAID AUTOMATICALLY
SB THIRTEEN FORTY THREE IS
ALL ABOUT PROVIDING PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES WITH THE RETIREMENT
SECURITY THEY DESERVE AND
SHOULD BE AFFORDED TEACHERS
PROVIDE GUIDANCE SUPPORT AND
EDUCATION FOR MOST VULNERABLE
OUR CHILDREN THE LEAST WE
CAN DO IS GIVE THEM ACCESS
TO A SECURE RETIREMENT SYSTEM
MEMBERS I RESPECTFULLY ASK
YOUR FOR YOUR AYE VOTE AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME TIME AND TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT IS TRISTEN
BROWN FROM THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MCCARTY TROSZYN BROWN
CFT UNION OF EDUCATORS IN CLASS
I PROFESSIONALS SPONSOR OF
THIS BILL WE ARE A.
B.
-- SPONSOR THIS BILL BECAUSE OF
REPORTS THAT HAVE COME OUT OF
CAL STIRS -- WE LAST YEAR THEIR
ACTUARIAL REPORTS HAD BEEN
SHOWING THAT THEIR INCREASED
COSTS EVERY OTHER ALLEY A DUE
TO THE FACT OF A MORE RECENT
PHENOMENON OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
NOT PICKING TO -- PARTICIPATE
IN STORES OR PERS AND SO WE
FEEL THAT THIS BILL IS A FIXING
TWO ISSUES ON A MACRO AND MICRO
LEVEL ON THE MACRO FILLING THE
HOLE IN THE BOAT SO TO SPEAK
SO THAT WE STOP THE LEAKAGE
AND CONTINUE TO GROW OUR BASE
OF MEMBERS SO THAT AS MORE
MONEY GOES IN THE STIRS THE
RETURNS CAN BE LARGER AND HELP
ENTIRE SYSTEM ON THE MICRO
LEVEL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR
RETIREMENT SECURITY TO HAVE
ACCESS TO A PENSION WHICH I
DON'T HAVE TO STAND ON THAT
SOAPBOX HERE BUT THERE ARE SOME
HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES IF YOU
ARE NOT A MEMBER OF CAL STIRS
AND YOU'VE -- INSTEAD BEEN
OPTED INTO A SOCIAL SECURITY
REGIMENT AND THEN LATER PERHAPS
YOU SWITCH INTO A NEW PUBLIC
EDUCATION FACILITY THAT IS A
MEMBER CAL STIRS THE FEDERAL
WEAPON GPO WILL COME AFTER
YOU YOU'LL LOSE A LOT OF YOUR
RETIREMENT SECURITY A LOT
OF FOLKS DON'T REALIZE THAT
THESE THINGS CAN HAPPEN UNTIL
IT'S TOO LATE SO WE THINK
THAT PUBLIC EDUCATORS WORKING
PUBLIC EDUCATION AND BELONG
TO THEIR PUBLIC EDUCATION
PENSION AND IT'S AS SIMPLE AS
THAT SO WE ASK RESPECTFULLY
FOR AN AYE VOTE THIS AFTERNOON
THANK YOU THANK YOU OTHERS
IN THE ROOM IN SUPPORT
IN ANY TELL THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION AS PART
WITH ONE MARTINEZ WAY WITH
CALIFORNIA STATE TEACHERS
RETIREMENT SYSTEM IN SUPPORT
OKAY GRIFFIN WITH THE AMERICAN
FEDERATION OF STATE COUNTY
MUNICIPAL MINISTER PAUL
EMPLOYEES AND SUPPORT THANK
YOU ARSINOE OTHERS IN SUPPORT
IS THERE ANY OPPOSITION
HELLO
THAT WHERE MEMBERS DOMINIC
TOMORROW HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION FOR SELECTIVE
THANK THE SENATOR FOR GOING
SO EARLY IN THE GENDER I
WAS -- IN SENATE JUDICIARY
FOR ELEVEN AND A HALF HOURS
YESTERDAY SO WELCOME TO OUR
WORLD THANK YOU YEAH IT'S
BEAUTIFUL RIPPLED CALIFORNIA
CHARTER SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION
MUST OPPOSE SB THIRTEEN FORTY
THREE AS IT WOULD IMPOSE
NEW MANDY COSTING CASHFLOW
HARDSHIPS A NEW CHARTER PUBLIC
SCHOOLS COMPLICATE COMPOSITION
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPANDING
NETWORKS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
AND PROVIDE THE STIRS PERS
BOARDS WITH OVERLY BROAD
AUTHORITY THAT COULD MAKE THE
SYSTEMS UNSTABLE FOR CHARTER
PARTICIPATION THE BILL WOULD
IMPOSE MANDATED BECAUSE
SENATORS PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT
WOULD GREATLY DIMINISH THE HIGH
QUALITY SERVICES OF STUDENTS
OR FOR STUDENTS THAT ARE AT THE
CORE OF THE SCHOOL'S MISSION
NEW SCHOOLS OFTEN HAVE CASH
FLOW PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE
-- IN THE EARLY YEARS DUE TO
THE DELAY IN APPORTIONMENT
TO MANDATED RESERVES AT
THIS BILL WOULD -- INSTITUTE
CHARTER PARTICIPATION STIRS
IS ALREADY VERY HIGH WITH THE
PARTICIPATION RATE OF ALMOST
NINETY PERCENT OF ALL CHARTER
PUBLIC SCHOOLS PARTICIPATING
IN STIRS AND THEY'RE FORCED TO
US IT'S A LITTLE UNCLEAR AS TO
WHY THE BILL'S NECESSARY MORE
PROBLEMATIC IS THE MANDATE
FOR THE NEW CHARTER SCHOOLS
TO PARTICIPATE IN PERS FOR
SOMETIME PURSES REFUSED TO
ACCEPT CHARTER APPLICATIONS
FORCING CHARTERS TO ESTABLISH
THEIR OWN RETIREMENT OPTIONS
AT FOR CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES
THE UNRELIABILITY OF HERS
AS A STABLE OPTION REMAINS
A DETERRENT TO CHARTER
PARTICIPATION SCHOOLS REPORT
A NUMBER OF REASONS FOR
OPTING OUT OF PERS INCLUDING
A RELATIVELY LOW NUMBER OF
CLASSIFIED STAFF DESIRED BY
EMPLOYEES TO HAVE MORE CONTROL
OVER THEIR RETIREMENT PLAN AND
DESERVE OF EMPLOYEES TO FOR
A PLAN THAT IS MORE FLEXIBLE
AND ALIGNED TO CLASSIFIED AND
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF PLANS IN
PRIVATE AND NONPROFIT SECTOR
EMPLOYMENT WHERE MANY COME FROM
AND WILL RETURN AFTER THEIR
SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC CHARTER
SCHOOL RENDON PERS FOR NEW
CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH AN
EXISTING NETWORKS WOULD POSE
SOME UNIQUE CHALLENGES FOR
THE SCHOOLS AND COULD GREATLY
COMPLICATE THE OPERATIONS
AND THE LEGAL STRUCTURE OF
SUCCESSFUL THAT WORKS FOR
CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO
REPLICATE NETWORK SCHOOLS OFTEN
SURE SPECIALIZED ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES STAFF SO TRACKING
AND REPORTING SO EMPLOYEES
AND PURRS AND OTHERS OUT COULD
POTENTIALLY HAVE SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES ELIGIBILITY
FOR SOCIAL SECURITY REPORTING
AS WELL AS GREAT COMPENSATION
EQUITY ISSUES ACROSS THEIR
SYSTEMS FOR THE LAST THIRTY
YEARS NONPROFIT PUBLIC CHARTER
SCHOOLS OTHERS WRAP IT UP BY
SAYING THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
REASONS WERE OPPOSE AND WE
WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
NO VOTE ON THIS BILL THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME THANK YOU ANY
OTHER OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM A
SINGLE OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM
I WILL RING YOU BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE I'LL JUST THANK THE
SENATOR FOR THE BILL AND -- I
KNOW THIS IS ONE THING I BROWN
BECAUSE I'D RATHER COMMITTEE
IT'S NOT A CHARTER SCHOOL ISSUE
IT'S A PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT ISSUE
WHERE IN SOME PUBLIC AGENCIES
ARE NOT PARTICIPATING AND STIRS
ENTERS RIGHT OR PUBLIC PENSION
FUND -- AND THEY'RE NOT PAYING
SO SECURITY AND THEY MIGHT BE
OFFERING LIKE INTO A DEFINED
BENEFIT PROGRAM AND ONE OF THAT
PLAY DOESN'T PARTICIPATE IN
IT THERE MAY BE NO RETIREMENT
WHICH WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF
FEDERAL LAWSUIT CALIFORNIA
NEXT YEAR SOMEONE SHOULD PICK
THAT UP AND REALLY TAKE A LOOK
AT THAT AGAIN THAT'S NOT A
CHARTER SCHOOL ISSUE THAT'S
JUST AN ISSUE THAT'S PERTINENT
TO HERS AND STIRS BUT I AGAIN
I THANK YOU FOR THE BILL OF ANY
GOOD COMES READY TO COMMITTEE
MEMBERS THIS MCCARTY YEAH ALL
MOVE THIS BILL I THINK THIS
AS HE SAID IT'S ABOUT PARITY
AND IN OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS
ALWAYS SAY WORD TAXPAYER FUNDED
SCHOOLS WERE REGULAR SCHOOLS
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS IN ITS
SECOND YEAR OTHER OPERATING
BY NOT HAVING ON THE INITIAL
INDIRECT PARTICIPATION WITH
A PERSON STIRS OF THIS CLOSES
THAT LOOPHOLE AND HAS ALREADY

PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM SO

EIGHT SEVEN EIGHT -- THAT IS
FILE ITEM NINE AND BEFORE SHE
STARTS AS YOU JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
THE FINE WORK YOU DID ON THE
BUDGET FOR EDUCATION ASSEMBLY
MEMBER O'DONNELL AS THE MOST
HISTORIC YEAR WITH REGARDS
TO EDUCATION FUNDING OF ALL
THE YEARS I'VE BEEN ALIVE AND
PROBABLY A LOT MORE THAN THAT
SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
YOUR HARD WORK PEOPLE WOULD
HEAR ME TALKING HERE ABOUT WHAT
WE NEED TO DO IN THE BUDGET
BECAUSE OF INFLATION AND A
LITTLE INDEX I'D SHOW UP --
INFLATION DECLINING ENROLLMENT
URGENT STIRS INCREASES OTHER
UNIT COST PRESSURES JUST TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS SO -- YOU
YOU RESPONDED SO I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID
FOR CALIFORNIA'S CHILDREN
CALIFORNIA'S FUTURE GOOD WORK
SENATOR THAT YOU MAY PROCEED
THANK YOU SO MUCH ASSEMBLY
MEMBER O'DONNELL AND YES THE
INCREASES NOT ONLY GOOD FOR
THIS YEAR FOR OUR SCHOOLS BUT
NEXT YEAR AND GOING FORWARD
AND SINCE WE HAVE A GOOD PROP
NINETY EIGHT RESERVE ALSO IT
SHOULD HELP US HEDGE AGAINST --
THE INCOME THE REVENUE DROPS WE
KNOW WE'LL GET SOME POINT BUT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH PLEASURE TO
PRESENT SB EIGHT SEVENTY EIGHT
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS -- BECAUSE
CALIFORNIA HAS HAD INABILITY
TO ADEQUATELY FUND OUR SCHOOLS
WE ARE DEAD LAST WHEN IT COMES
TO PROVIDING HOME TO SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION SO IF YOU LIVE
IN ANOTHER STATE YOU GET TO
TAKE THE BUS TO SCHOOL IF YOU
LIVE IN CALIFORNIA NOT LIKELY
AND THE RESULT OF THAT IS WELL
THERE'S MANY KIDS WHO CAN GET
TO SCHOOL EITHER BECAUSE THEIR
PARENTS CAN DRIVE THEM WHERE
THEY LIVE NEARBY THERE ARE MANY
CHILDREN WHO THE R.
SURVEYS HAVE SHOWN THEIR NUMBER
ONE REASON FOR MISSING SCHOOL
IS A LACK OF TRANSPORTATION
SO THE BENEFITS WHILE YES
PROVIDING TRANSPORTATION COSTS
US MONEY BECAUSE OUR SCHOOLS
ARE FUNDED ON BASIS OF DAILY
ENROLLMENT THEN THE SCHOOLS
GAIN IF THEY INCREASING CASH
ATTENDANCE SO I WANNA THANK THE
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE FOR WORKING
WITH ME TO APPROVE EIGHT
SEVENTY EIGHT I AM ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEES AMENDMENT
THAT REMOVES THE MANDATE THAT
ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION BUT CERTAINLY
OUR INTENT IS THAT WITH THIS

STATE PTA IS IN STRONG SUPPORT
OF SENATE BILL EIGHT SEVEN
EIGHT ROAD TO SUCCESS SB
EIGHT SEVEN EIGHT WILL ENSURE
THAT EVERY CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
SCHOOL STUDENT T.
K.
THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE HAS
INCREASED ACCESS TO SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION SB EIGHT SEVEN
EIGHT WILL ALSO HELP REDUCE
ABSENTEEISM WHICH IN TURN
CAN IMPROVE GRADUATION RATES
AND ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT A
RECENT CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION REPORT FOUND
THAT LACK OF TRANSPORTATION
TO SCHOOL IS ONE OF THE MOST
COMMON REASONS FOR WHY STUDENTS
MISS SCHOOL RESEARCH ALSO
SHOWS THAT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM
RESULTS IN LOWER STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT AND GRADUATION
RATES CALIFORNIA'S LACK OF
SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION PLACES
UNDUE BURDENS ON FAMILIES
ESPECIALLY FOR LOW INCOME
WORKING FAMILIES SOME FAMILIES
IN RURAL AREAS TRAVEL LONG
DISTANCES TO AND FROM SCHOOL
EACH DAY MAKING IT DIFFICULT
FOR PARENTS TO ALSO GET TO AND
FROM THEIR JOBS SOME SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ALSO CHARGE FAMILIES
A MONTHLY FEE OF UP TO THREE
HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THEIR
STUDENTS TO RIDE THE BUS AND
THAT IS SIMPLY UNAFFORDABLE
FOR MANY LOW INCOME FAMILIES
SB EIGHT SEVEN EIGHT WILL
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS
OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES IN
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS WILL BE
LESS LIKELY TO MISS SCHOOL AND
GET BEHIND ON THEIR STUDIES
AND PARENTS WON'T HAVE TO
TAKE HOURS OUT OF THEIR DAY
TO DRIVE THEIR CHILDREN TO AND
FROM SCHOOL OR HAVE TO PAY ON

KIDS ON A BUS FOR THESE REASONS

LEVEL OF READING IN A SIMPLE
WAY WOULD ALLOW PARENTS TO PICK
UP SOME ENGLISH WORDS IN THE
STUDENT TO PICK UPS THE SPANISH
WORDS WHAT THEY ALREADY KNOW
THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO
FOSTER A LOVE OF READING WITH
FAMILIES TOGETHER CURRENTLY
SELECT CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES
HAVE WORKED INDIVIDUALLY TO
BRING TOGETHER PARTNERS AND
NONPROFITS TO ESTABLISH LOCAL
IMAGINATION LIBRARY PROGRAMS
HOWEVER LESS THAN ONE PERCENT
OF CALIFORNIANS EARLY READERS
ARE ABLE TO ENROLL DUE TO
NUMEROUS BARRIERS INCLUDING
THESE CHILDREN FROM LARGE URBAN
AREAS AND RULE COMMUNITIES
AND THE LACK OF RESOURCES
TO ESTABLISH LOCAL PROGRAMS
THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY OF
CALIFORNIA WILL BE UNDER
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE STATE
LIBRARIAN IF THIS BILL PASSES

COUNTY BASED PROGRAMS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA SIX CALIFORNIA EVERY

MANY TO IN CALIFORNIA'S MANY
DEPARTMENTS ARE AFFECTED BY
FASD AND IT IS ESTIMATED THAT
ANNUALLY THE STATE SPENDS OVER
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER
PERSON IN ORDER TO PROVIDE
CARE FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS
WITH EARLY INTERVENTION AND
APPROPRIATE SPECIAL EDUCATION
SERVICES INDIVIDUALS WITH FASD
WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO REACH
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL WHILE

FOR INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLANS
THEY BY EXPANDING SPECIAL
EDUCATION TO THOSE WHO QUALIFY
AND NEED IT WITH ME TODAY I
HAVE AND THAT COMMENCEMENT
PRESIDENT OF FASD NETWORK OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND DR
KENNETH WIND JONES A WORLD
RENOWNED PEDIATRICIAN THIS
MORPHOLOGIES AND RESEARCHER
IN THE FIELD OF BIRTH DEFECTS
I JUST TO WANT TO MAKE MAKE ONE
ANNOUNCEMENT BECAUSE THERE ARE
SOME FOLKS OUT THERE WAITING

FIRST WITNESS THANK YOU SIR
MY NAME IS KENNETH LIMESTONES
THANK YOU SIR HI MY NAME IS
KIND OF FINANCE JONES I'M A
PROFESSOR IN THE DEPARTMENT OF
PEDIATRICS AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA SAN DIEGO I
WANT TO START BY THANKING THE
COMMITTEE FOR ALLOWING ME TO
SPEAK TODAY PRENATAL ALCOHOL
EXPOSURE CAUSES A SPECTRUM OF
DEFECTS PRIMARILY AFFECTING THE
BRAIN FROM THE MOST SEVERELY
AFFECTED INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE
FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME THOSE
WITH NO PHYSICAL FEATURES BUT
YOU'RE A BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS THE
FIRST HURDLE AFFECTED CHILDREN
MUST FACE IS THE EDUCATION
SINCE THE SYSTEM FEATURES LIKE
THE REST OF OUR SOCIETY ARE
ILL PREPARED TO DEAL WITH THE
NEURAL BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
CHALLENGING CHILDREN WITH
THIS DISORDER ONE MIGHT ARGUE
THAT TEACHERS CAN HANDLE NOR A
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN
WITH FETAL ALCOHOL SPECTRUM
DISORDER THE SAME WAY THAT THEY
HANDLED THEIR BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS
AND OTHER BRAIN BASED DISORDERS
SUCH AS ATTENTION DEFICIT
HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER WE KNOW
THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE THE LACK
OF RESPONSE TO TRADITIONAL
THERAPEUTIC APPROACHES HAS
LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
INTERVENTION PROGRAMS SPECIFIC
TO THIS DISORDER BECAUSE
OF THIS IT HAS BECOME CLEAR
THAT NEUROBEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS
ASSOCIATED WITH PRENATAL
ALCOHOL EXPOSURE ARE UNIQUE
AWARENESS OF THIS UNIQUENESS IS
CRITICAL TO PROVIDING AFFECTED
CHILDREN WITH EFFECTIVE
INTERVENTION PROGRAMS THE LACK
OF AWARENESS OF FETAL ALCOHOL
SPECTRUM DISORDERS AND THE
TERRIBLE STIGMA ASSOCIATED
WITH IT LEAD TO A LACK OF
APPROPRIATE APPROPRIATE
INTERVENTIONS AND FREQUENTLY
THE DEVELOPMENT OF SECONDARY
DISABILITIES INCLUDING
DISRUPTED SCHOOL EXPERIENCES
SUCH AS INABILITY TO GET
ALONG WITH PEERS DISRUPTIONS
IN THE CLASSROOM DISOBEYING
SCHOOL ROLLS AND TALKING BACK
TO TEACHERS ALL OF THESE SET
UP AN AFFECTED CHILD FOR BOTH
SCHOOL AND SOCIAL FAILURE
UNFORTUNATELY A SIGNIFICANT
NUMBER END UP JOBLESS HOMELESS
IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM AND IN PRISON AT
PRESENT THE MAJORITY OF THESE
CHILDREN ARE NOT GETTING THE
APPROPRIATE INTERVENTIONS
THEY NEED THE SUPPORT THIS
LEGISLATION WILL PROVIDE
IS ESSENTIAL TO ALTERING
THEIR PRESENT TRAJECTORY
THANK YOU SIR THANK YOU SIR
HI MY NAME IS NOT IN AT
CHRISTMAS HI MY NAME IS
CHRISTINE CLIFFORD I'M A
RETIRED SPECIAL EDUCATION
TEACHER A FORTY YEAR MEMBER OF
CTA AND AN ADOPTIVE PARENT OF
A YOUNG MAN WITH FETAL ALCOHOL
SPECTRUM DISORDER ALTHOUGH
HE WAS EXPOSED TO ALCOHOL
THROUGHOUT PREGNANCY MY SON HAS
NO PHYSICAL FEATURES OF F.
A.
S.
AND HE HAS AN AVERAGE IQ
HOWEVER OVER TIME HE RECEIVED
AN ARRAY OF BOTH PSYCHOLOGICAL
AND EDUCATIONAL DIAGNOSES NONE
OF WHICH FULLY CAPTURED OR
ADDRESSED HIS NEEDS EVERYTHING
WAS A STRUGGLE I WAS TOLD HE
HAS AN ARMALITE Q.
HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO LEARN
THIS BUT HE COULDN'T HE WAS
TOLD TO TRY HARDER I WAS TOLD
I WAS AN ENABLING PARENT THIS
IS A COMMON EXPERIENCE WITH
FASD THE SEARCH FOR ANSWERS
TO HIS MISTER PINE BEHAVIOR
WOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD US TO
A SPECIALTY CLINIC IN SEATTLE
WHERE DANIEL FINALLY RECEIVED
AN APPROPRIATE DIAGNOSIS BY
THIS TIME HE WAS TEN THIS
DIAGNOSIS ALLOWED ME TO VIEW
HIS BEHAVIOR AS THAT OF A
DISORGANIZED AND DAMAGED
BRAIN NOT WILFUL MISCONDUCT
OR PARENTING FAILURES IT
ALSO ALLOWED ME TO ADVOCATE
ON HIS BEHALF FOR PLACEMENT
IN THE APPROPRIATE SPECIAL
EDUCATION CATEGORY OF OTHER
HEALTH IMPAIRED THIS WAS
NOT AN EASY SELL EVEN WITH
A BACKGROUND IN SPECIAL
EDUCATION MYSELF FASD WAS
NOT WELL KNOWN OR UNDERSTOOD
STILL ISN'T AND IT'S NOT FOUND
IN ANY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
APPROPRIATE PLACEMENT LEAD TO
APPROPRIATE SERVICES THE CDC
ESTIMATES THAT FAS IMPACTS
ONE IN TWENTY INDIVIDUALS A
LIFE LONG IMPLICATIONS OF FASD
SHOULD LEAD TO APPROPRIATE
SERVICES AND EDUCATION BUT
CURRENTLY OF IT OFTEN DOESN'T
UNFORTUNATELY THE TYPICAL
CYCLE EDUCATIONAL BATTERY USED
IN SCHOOLS DOESN'T CAPTURE
THE COMMON AREAS OF DEFICIT
THAT PLAGUE INDIVIDUALS WITH
FASD SUCH AS DIFFICULTIES
WITH EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
MEMORY AND JUDGMENT LACKING
APPROPRIATE UNDERSTANDING OF
FASD STUDENTS LIKE DANIEL ARE
OFTEN MISIDENTIFIED PLACED
IN AN APPROPRIATE SERVICES
OR RECEIVE NO SERVICES AT
ALL DANIEL ASKED ME TO TELL

THIS HARD SB TEN SIXTEEN

A SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST DUE
TO AND I AM DIAGNOSED HEART
CONDITION THEY'VE DETECTED
THEY'VE DEDICATED THEIR LIFE
TO MAKING SURE OTHER PARENTS

A CHILD THANK FOR THE NONPROFIT
THEY FOUND IN THEIR SON'S HONOR
NOW HAS COUNTLESS STORIES SURE
OF YOUTH THEY HAVE SCREENED
IN THESE ADVANCE WHOSE LIVES
HAVE BEEN SAVED I'M SIMPLY

SUCH SCREENINGS SUCH AS AN
ECHOCARDIOGRAM AND I WILL
UNDERSCORED THAT THERE IS
A PHYSICIAN AND EACH ONE OF
THESE EVENTS THIS WILL HELP
CATCH AS MANY POTENTIAL CARDIAC
ABNORMALITIES IN YOUTH AS
POSSIBLE NOW I WOULD LIKE FOR
YOU TO HEAR FROM SOME PEOPLE
WHO HAVE BEEN PERSONALLY
AFFECTED BY THIS WITH ME TODAY
IS RINA PRESS GRAYSON THE CO
FOUNDER OF THE AEROPRESS SAVE
A LIFE FOUNDATION AND CARSON
WELLS IN NURSING STUDENT WHO
WAS FOUND TO HAVE A CARDIAC
ABNORMALITY BRING ONE OF
THESE SCREENINGS IN HIS

YEARS WITHOUT WATCHING HIM WIN
WRESTLING MATCHES SEEING HIM
GRADUATE GET HIS FIRST JOB IN
PERHAPS GET MARRIED INSTEAD
WE LOST HIM AT AGE FIFTEEN TO
A HEART CONDITION NO ONE KNEW
HE HAD THIS BEAUTIFUL KIDS
SO FULL OF LIFE WHO LOVE TO
DANCE WANTED TO BE A POLICE
OFFICER AND MAKE THE WORLD
A BETTER PLACE BUT HE NEVER
GOT THE CHANCE THIS HAPPENED
BECAUSE OF A TREMENDOUS GAP IN
PREVENTATIVE HEART CARE FOR OUR
KIDS WHICH STEMS FROM A LACK
OF EDUCATION ABOUT THE REALITY
OF SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST IN
USE HALF OF YOU STRICKEN HAVE
NO WARNING SIGNS OR FAMILY
RISK FACTORS IN OF YOUTH WHO
DID SHOW SYMPTOMS THEY WERE
OFTEN MISSED OR MISDIAGNOSED
BECAUSE NO ONE REALIZED HE
WAS LIFE THREATENING I AM A
REGISTERED NURSE IN HECTOR
IS RETIRED FROM THE HOUSE
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL A WE
DID NOT KNOW STUDIES SHOW THAT
ONE IN THREE HUNDRED YOUTH HAS
AN UNDETECTED HEART CONDITION
THAT PUTS THEM AT RISK FOR
SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST IT'S
TIME TO EDUCATE OURSELVES ABOUT
HOW WE CAN DO A BETTER JOB TO
PROTECT YOUNG HEARTS WE KNOW
WE CAN BECAUSE OUR NONPROFIT
FOUNDATION HAS PROVIDED NEARLY
THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND FREE
YOUTH HEART SCREENINGS FINDING
TWO HUNDRED FORTY FIVE WITH
CARDI COMMONALITY SERIOUS
ENOUGH TO CAUSE SUDDEN CARDIAC
ARREST THE MANY CARDIOLOGISTS
WHO VOLUNTEER WITH US IN SAN
DIEGO IN AROUND THE STATE
AND COUNTRY I AGREE WITH THE
ONGOING STUDIES THAT SHOW
THAT THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO
PREVENT THAT NEEDLESS LOSS
OF YOUNG LIVES ONE OF THEM
HAPPENS TO BE A BOARD MEMBER
OF THE CALIFORNIA AMERICAN
CUT COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY
IT'S LONG BEEN STABBED A STEP
CURRENT ECG INTERPRETATION
OR IT ELECTROCARDIOGRAM
INTERPRETATION CRITERIA REDUCES
FALSE POSITIVES TO A MERE
TWO PERCENT THE PRINCIPAL CO
AUTHOR OF THE NOW INTERNATIONAL
CRITERIA ALSO SUPPORTS THIS
PILOT BY COMPARISON SEVEN TO
TWELVE PERCENT OF MAMMOGRAMS
RETURN A FALSE POSITIVE IN IF
YOU ARE IN MY AGE GROUP FIFTY
PERCENT OF US WILL EXPERIENCE A
FALSE POSITIVE EVERY TEN YEARS
BUT WE KEEP DOING MAMMOGRAMS
BECAUSE WE KNOW IT SAVES LIVES
ALSO WE KNOW THAT MANY TYPES
OF SCREENING INCLUDING PULSE
OXIMETRY IN NEWBORNS AT THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA RECENTLY
ADOPTED RESULTS IN EARLY
IDENTIFICATION OF ABNORMALITIES
IN US UP AS THE AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION HAS ACKNOWLEDGED
THEY ARE NOT OPPOSED TO ECG
AS PART OF QUALITY CONTROL
SCREENINGS SB ONE ONE THREE
FIVE WILL EXPAND A SUCCESSFUL
SCREENING PROGRAM TO KIDS IN
DIVERSE COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE
STATE I'D AN EXTRAORDINARILY
MINIMAL COST IT WILL EDUCATE
US AND THE KIDS WHO PARTICIPATE
ABOUT HOW TO RECOGNIZE HEART
CONDITIONS BEFORE THEY STRIKE
IT WILL GIVE FAMILIES AND
THEIR KIDS THE FUTURE OF THAT
OUR PRECIOUS SON DIDN'T HAVE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND THINK
SENATOR BRIAN JONES THANK

YOU FOR SHARING YOUR TRAGEDY
THANK YOU TO OUR NEXT WITNESS
HELLO EVERYBODY MY NAME IS
CARSON WELLS I AM A TWENTY
YEAR OLD COLLEGE STUDENT JUST
ABOUT TO START NURSING SCHOOL
-- TODAY I'M HERE BECAUSE IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN AND A FREE HEART
SCREENING I FOUND OUT THAT I
HAD A HEART CONDITION CALLED
WOLF PARKINSON WHITE -- OR WW
WHICH IS ONE OF THE LEADING
CAUSES OF SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST
I WAS A COMMITTED HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETE MY REGULAR WELLNESS
AND SPORTS PHYSICALS CLEARED
ME TO PLAY SO ALL EVER WORRIED
ABOUT WAS A BROKEN BONE SO
HEARTS SCREENING SEEMED LIKE
A PERFECTLY WELL WASTE OF A
PERFECTLY NORMAL AND DESERVING
SUNDAY MORNING SLEEP AND
THROUGH EVERY FOOTBALL GAME
OCEAN SWIMMING HOCKEY HAT MY
HEART WAS COMPROMISED AND NO
ONE EVER KNEW AT THE SCREENING
I WAS ASKED MY HEART EVER RACED
AND I SAID IT DID BUT IT ALWAYS
SEEM TO BE FOR A GOOD REASON
LIKE A BIG PRACTICE OR LACK OF
WATER WITH MY LEVEL OF ACTIVITY
IT WAS EASY TO EXPLAIN AWAY
AND RESPOND BY WORKING HARDER
THINKING THAT I JUST NEED TO
TRAIN MORE THANKFULLY A CARDIAC
ABLATION REMEDIED MY CONDITION
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR ME BUT
FOR FRANK MASON MEGHAN KEVIN
AUSTIN LOGAN SHAUNA DANIELLE
KIM ERIN MITCHELL AND EMMANUEL
THEY WERE NOT SO LUCKY THESE
ARE USE THAT WE KNOW IN YOUR
LEGISLATIVE DISTRICTS WHO'VE
IN LOSSES AND CARDIAC ARREST
AND IT'S JUST A FRACTION OF
THE MANY MORE TO COME IF WE
DON'T MAKE IT OR IF WE DON'T
MEET THIS PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS
HEAD ON IF YOU'RE NOT ONE
OF THE TWENTY THREE THOUSAND
YOUTHS LOST DYSENTERY IKARIS
RESTON KIDS WHO GROW UP WITH
UNDETECTED HEART CONDITIONS
BECOME PART OF THE THREE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
ADULTS WHO DIE PREMATURELY EACH
YEAR BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED
EARLIER THIS MONTH I VOLUNTEER
TO FREE HEART SCREENING IN EL
CAJON WHERE WE FOUND FIVE KIDS
WITH CARDIAC ABNORMALITIES
THREE SERIOUS ENOUGH TO PUT
THEM AT RISK OF SUDDEN CARDIAC
ARREST IN ONE WITH W.
TEN W.
P.
W.
JUST LIKE ME MY SCREENING
EXPERIENCES IT'S INSPIRED ME
TO JOIN THE NEXT GENERATION
OF LIFESAVERS TO HELP EVOLVE
AN UNDERSTATEMENT WELL
INVOLVED THE UNDERSTANDING
OF CUTS IN CARDIAC ARREST IN
YOUTH AND TO TAKE ACTION THIS
IS WHAT I'M BRINGING TO MY
CAREER MY PRESENT AND FUTURE
FAMILY AND TO MY COMMUNITY
THAT'S WHAT IT WILL TAKE
IT WILL TAKE TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN SB ELEVEN
THIRTY FIVE WILL HELP US GET
THERE THANK YOU THANK YOU
OTHERS IN THE ROOM IN SUPPORT
HI MY NAME IS DIANA LEE AND

THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON JONATHAN
CLAY ON BEHALF THE
SCRIP SELF IN SUPPORT
GOOD AFTERNOON CRYSTAL
WILLIAMS IN SUPPORT THANK YOU
GABRIELLE IN SUPPORT THE
SENIOR FURTHER SUPPORTERS
ANY OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS ENTRY
ENTRY WHICH ARE YOUR ENTRY
ON BEHALF OF THE AMERICAN
HEART ASSOCIATION WE CONTINUE
TO MAINTAIN AN OPPOSE UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION ON S.
B.
ELEVEN THIRTY FIVE JONES --
WE COMMEND THE AUTHOR FOR THE
INTENT AND THE VERY COMPELLING
STORIES ABOUT INDIVIDUALS
WHO FOUND THEMSELVES WITH
THIS CONDITION BUT WE'RE
VERY CONCERNED THAT EVEN WITH
THE AMENDMENT THE AUTHOR HAS
ACCEPTED IT DOESN'T FOLLOW
CLOSELY ENOUGH TO PROTOCOL
THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION
HAS DEVELOPED AND WE COMPEL
AND WE WE WE URGE THAT -- AS
THIS BILL CONTINUES TO MOVE
IF IT DOES MOVE THAT TO GET
CLOSER TO THE PROTOCOL BECAUSE
IT'S ABOUT THE PROCESS AND
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL TO DETERMINE TO USE
A DEVICE REGARDLESS OF WHAT
THE PROTOCOL SAYS AND SO THAT
IS PART OF THE OBJECTION THAT
WE HAVE WE'VE MENTIONED IN
THE ANALYSIS VERY THOROUGHLY
DESCRIBES THE FOURTEEN POINT
ASSESSMENT DEVELOPED UP OTHER
BY THE HEART ASSOCIATION WE
RECOMMEND THAT ANY PROTOCOL
UNDER THIS PILOT PROGRAM
STRICTLY FOLLOW THE FOURTEEN
POINT ASSESSMENT DEVELOPED
BY THE HEART ASSOCIATION AND
OTHER CARDIAC PROFESSIONALS
INCLUDING WHAT TO DO NEXT --
THAT'S NOT ALWAYS TO USE THE
ECG -- AND SO THAT'S PART OF
THE BASIS OF OUR CONCERNS EVEN
WITH THE AMENDMENTS THE STATE
FUNDED PILOT PROGRAM UNDER
THIS BILL COULD RESULT IN
SCENARIOS WHERE THE PHYSICIAN
USES ECG REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS
FOUND DURING THE VERY CRITICAL
ASSESSMENT WITH FALSE POSITIVE
RESULTS THESE YOUNG PEOPLE
AND THEIR FAMILIES COULD BE
REFERRED TO A PEDIATRICIAN
WHO WOULD THEN REFER THEM TO
A PEDIATRIC CARD CARDIOLOGISTS
THE PAEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGISTS
WOULD THEN PERFORMED ANOTHER
EKG AND THEN MOST LIKELY ORDER
AN ECHOCARDIOGRAM THESE COSTS
WOULD BE BORNE BY FAMILIES
WHICH COULD RUN INTO THE
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DEPENDING
ON THEIR INSURANCE -- FOR THESE
REASONS WE REMAIN CONCERNED
AND ALSO THE PIPELINE OF YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO POTENTIALLY DON'T
NECESSARILY NEED THIS EQUIPMENT
TO BE PROPERLY DIAGNOSE IS
ANOTHER CONCERN WHICH COULD
FURTHER CLOG THE HEALTHCARE
SYSTEM -- WITH ALL THE GOOD
INTENTIONS HERE SO FOR THOSE
REASONS REMAIN OPPOSED UNLESS
AMENDED THANK YOU NEXT MISTER
MEMBERS TO MADDEN REPRESENT
THE CALIFORNIA CHAPTER OF
THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF
CARDIOLOGY AND FIRST I LIKE
TO THINK THE CHAIR I'M AN
ESPECIALLY YOUR CONSULTANT
FOR ALL YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS
ON THIS AND WE DO APPRECIATE
VERY MUCH THE INCLUSION OF
THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE IN
THE LEGISLATION I'D ALSO LIKE
TO THANK THE SENATOR IN THE
SPONSOR IN THE CENTER STAFF FOR
THE TIME THAT WE SPENT TALKING
THROUGH THIS I'M RECOGNIZING
THAT WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION ON HOW TO APPROACH
THIS BUT WE HAVE RESPECT FOR
THE FOUNDATION IN FOR THE
EFFORTS OF SENATOR JONES AND
WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M WE
DO BELIEVE THE PROPER APPROACH
IS TO DO THE ASSESSMENT IF
THERE IS AN INDICATION AT THAT
POINT AT THAT POINT FURTHER
TESTING IS WARRANTED IN TO
KIND OF EXPAND ON A LITTLE BIT
AND GIVE MORE OF A REAL WORLD
EXAMPLE THE AMERICAN COLLEGE
OF CARDIOLOGY ALONG WITH THE
HEART ASSOCIATION DEVELOPED
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE
WHEN THEY LOOK AT THIS FROM
A MORE HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVE
WHAT'S THE IMPACT ON THE
SYSTEM IN SAN DIEGO FOR EXAMPLE
THERE ARE LESS THAN THIRTY
PEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGISTS THAT
ARE PRACTICING SO IF THERE IS
A SITUATION WHERE EVEN THOUGH
THE FALSE POSITIVE RATE IS AND
THE TWO PERCENT AND THERE ARE
STUDIES WE SHOW CAN BE AS HIGH
AS SIX POINT EIGHT PERCENT
FOR BLACK AND ARAB ATHLETES
THOSE FOLKS ARE GOING TO END UP
GOING INTO THE SYSTEM NEEDING
TO GET FURTHER TESTING ONE
PAEDIATRIC CARDIOLOGISTS IN
SAN DIEGO WAS SHARING WITH ME
THAT IT CAN TAKE HIM UPWARDS
OF TWO TO THREE MONTHS TO GET
AN ECHO CARDIOGRAM FOR ANY OF
HIS KIDS WHO NEED THAT TEST SO
NOW IF WE HAVE SITUATION WHERE
MORE KIDS ARE COMING INTO THE
SYSTEM THE CARE FOR THOSE KIDS
WHO DO NEED THOSE ARE GOING TO
BE IMPACTED BY THOSE WHO HAVE
FALSE POSITIVE RESULTS I THINK
IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE ON
THE FALSE NEGATIVE SIDE SO FOR
-- HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
WHICH IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF
SUDDEN CARDIAC ARRESTING KIDS
THAT IS LARGELY NOT DETECTED
THROUGH AN ECG SO YOU COULD
HAVE A SITUATION WHERE A KID
IS GOING TO AN EVENT YEAH
HE IS TOLD YOU HAVE NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT YOUR HEART IS
FINE BUT IN REALITY THEY HAVE
THIS CONDITION AND THE NEXT
TIME THAT THEY'RE EXERCISING
THEIR EXERTING THEMSELVES AND
EXPERIENCING SOMETHING YES I'M
SOME SHORTNESS OF BREATH AND
SAY WELL I JUST HAD MY HEART
TESTED THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
SO THOSE ARE SITUATIONS THAT
WERE ALSO ESPECIALLY WORRY
ABOUT I'M WITH THAT BEING
SAID WE DO APPRECIATE THE
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE AND --
DESPITE WE REMAIN OPPOSED LAST
MINUTE THANK YOU THANK YOU
THANK YOU ANY OTHER OPPOSITION

TESTING POSITIVE FOR SOMETHING

FALSE POSITIVES THAT'S NINETY
THREE LIVES THAT WERE SAVED

PRESENT TO YOU SENATE BILL
FOURTEEN SEVENTY NINE WOULD
TO ENSURE PARENTS AND ALSO OUR
SCHOOL TEACHERS EMPLOYEES TO
KNOW WHAT COBIT SPREAD LOOKS
LIKE IN SCHOOL SO THEY CAN
MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS FOR
THEIR FAMILIES THE CIVICALLY
SB FOURTEEN SEVENTY NINE WOULD
REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO DEVELOP A
COPING NINETEEN TESTING PLAN
IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CD PH
OR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT
GUIDANCE ENSURES THAT SCHOOLS
PRESCHOOLS AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAMS
CHILD CARE CENTERS HAVE
THE RESOURCES TO IMPLEMENT
THE TESTING PLANS C.
PH HAS WORKED THROUGH THE
PANDEMIC TO ENSURE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAVE GOOD TESTING
GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT
BUT THERE'S CURRENTLY NO
REQUIREMENT FOR A PLAN I
WITHOUT A PLAN IN PLACE SOME
SCHOOL DISTRICTS LEAVE PARENTS
IN THE DARK SCHOOLS MUST LET
PARENTS KNOW WHEN THERE ARE
POSITIVE KOVITZ CASES AND
SCHOOL AT SCHOOL JUST LIKE THEY
DO WHEN STUDENT HAS LIGHTS UP
IN ADDITION A PLAN HOLD SCHOOLS
ACCOUNTABLE TO SO THAT THEY
KNOW PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY
ARE PLAN ARE ARE DOING AND
-- SO AND IF THERE NEEDS TO
BE FEEDBACK AS WELL WELL THAT
SEEMS OUR GREATEST WEAPONS
AGAINST COVE IN NINETEEN WE
NEED MORE SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT
FUTURE SCHOOL CLOSURES KEY
SURGES AND ENSURE THAT PARENTS
AND SCHOOL STAFF FOR WELL
INFORMED BUILDING NINETEEN
POSES A SERIOUS HEALTH RISK TO
STUDENTS IT DOES IT HAS SERVICE
HEALTH RISKS TO VULNERABLE
ADULTS WHETHER THEY'RE WORKING
AT THE SCHOOL ARE LIVING AT
HOME WITH THE STUDENTS AND
FACULTY NINETEEN IS ONE THE
LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH AMONG
CHILDREN OF COURSE WE KNOW
WE FUND FORTUNE LOST OVER A
MILLION LIVES AMERICAN LIVES
TO COATED IN FACT OVER THOUSAND
THEM HAVE BEEN CHILDREN SO
WE CANNOT DISMISS THE EFFECTS
OF COBIT AND CHILDREN WHO ARE

CLOSURES SCHOOL CLOSURES HAVE
TAKEN A SIGNIFICANT TOLL ON
THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL
BEING OF STUDENTS PARENTS

ALSO TEACHERS AND STAFF HAVE
ACCESS IS AS WELL IN CASE IN
CASE OF THE EXPOSED IN SCHOOL
EXACTLY IN TESTING ACCESS WILL
ALLOW FOR BETTER TRANSPARENCY
PARENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW

FOURTEEN SEVENTY NINE THANK YOU
DO YOU NEXT TO OUR NEXT WITNESS
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME'S LAURA
POWELL I'M SPEAKING HERE AS
A PARENT OF TWO PUBLIC SCHOOL
CHILDREN WE STARTED THIS THIS
SCHOOL YEAR AND A DISTRICT WITH
A VERY ROBUST TESTING PROGRAM
IT WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
DISRUPTIVE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE
NOT HIGH RATES OF TRANSMISSION
IN THE COMMUNITY POSITIVE
TESTS WERE COMING IN AND THAT
FORCE CHILDREN INTO A MODIFIED
QUARANTINE WHICH MEANT THAT
THEY HAD TO BE PULLED FROM
THEIR CLASSROOMS EVERY COUPLE
OF DAYS TO BE TESTED OR ELSE
THEY COULD NOT ATTEND SCHOOL IN
OUR DISTRICT WE WERE REQUIRED
TO REGISTER WITH THE WEBSITE
RUN BY PRIMARY I WENT TO THAT
WEBSITE FILLED IN MY CHILD'S
INFORMATION AND WHEN I GOT
TO THE CONSENT FORM WHICH I
ACTUALLY READ I HAD PROBLEMS
WITH THE CONTINENT SEEMED
UNUSUAL TO ME I DID NOT SIGN IT
NONETHELESS PRIMARY RECORDED MY
CHILD'S PERSONAL DATA I ASKED
TO HAVE IT DELETED AS THEY'RE
REQUIRED TO DO UNDER CALIFORNIA
PRIVACY LAWS AND THEY DID NOT
DO THAT STILL ALMOST A YEAR
LATER THEY HAVE NOT DONE THAT
I PASSED SEVERAL TIMES THIS
IS ONE OF SEVERAL CONCERNS I
HAVE ABOUT PRIMARIES COMPLIANCE
WITH PRIVACY LAWS IN THE STATE
AND -- WE ENDED UP MOVING TO
A NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IN
THAT DISTRICT THEY DIDN'T DO AS
MUCH TESTING WE GOT THROUGH THE
OMICRON SURGE NO QUARANTINES
NO TESTING AND WITHOUT HIGHER
RATES OF COALBED I'VE LOOKED
INTO PRIMARY DISCOVERED THEY
WERE BRAND NEW COMPANIES SCORED
LARGE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS WITH
NO TRACK RECORD WE'VE CREATED A
COVERT INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX THESE
COMPANIES WILL KEEP COMING BACK
WITH THEIR HANDS OUT ASKING FOR
MORE TAXPAYER DOLLARS UNTIL WE
STARVE THE BEAST THESE TESTING
PROGRAMS MAY SEEM INNOCUOUS BUT
THEY HAVE NO MEASURABLE BENEFIT
THEY DIVERT RESOURCES AWAY FROM
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS PLEASE ALLOW

NOT A TESTING PLAN AS MUCH
IT IS A PLAN TO TEST WHAT IS
APPROPRIATE WHEN IT'S NECESSARY
TO SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THERE IS
AN OUTBREAK NEED TO BE AWARE
OF IT BECAUSE COVERT ISRAEL
I'VE HAD IT TWICE IT'S GOT OVER
ABOUT A MONTH AGO THE SECOND
TIME WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO
THE FIRST TIME I CAN TELL YOU
THAT -- AND I JUST GOT MY TEST
AS YOU CAME UP HERE I LOOKED
AT MY TARGET TESTED TODAY
I'M I'M NEGATIVE SO -- SO I
THIS IS A REASONABLE APPROACH
IT'S THOUGHTFUL IT'S NOT A A
MONSTER MANDATE IT'S NOT KIDS
ONLINE BEFORE THEY CAN WALK AND
THIS GOES INTO THE END OF THE
SCHOOL GETTING TESTED BECAUSE
I'VE SEEN THAT WE DID THAT WE
TRIED THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT WELL
RIGHT -- BUT THIS IS A PLAN
WHEN THERE ARE INSTANCES WHERE
WE DO NEED TO TEST SCHOOLS
NEED TO BE READY THEY NEED TO
GO TO SHELVE GET THEIR PLAN
HAVE THOUGHT IT THROUGH AND BE
ABLE TO ENACT THAT PLAN SO I

THE COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS AS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS ORGAN
THANK YOU FOR WORKING WITH
US I'M SB ONE FORTY FOUR IS
THE SAFE AND EFFICIENT WATER
ACTS -- IT IS -- DESIGNS DO
SOMETHING ALTHOUGH EVERYTHING
IS COMPLICATED THING VERY BASIC
-- REALLY MAXIMIZE THE ODDS
THAT OUR CHILDREN AND STAFF
IN OUR SCHOOLS THE PEOPLE IN
OUR STATE BUILDINGS -- ARE --
HAVING ACCESS TO CLEAN AND SAFE
WATER -- AND THAT WERE BEING
EFFICIENT ABOUT THAT WATER
USE CALIFORNIA LEADS -- ON SO
MANY WAYS AROUND WATER -- AND
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES -- BUT
WE SHOULD DO MORE -- AND I
KNOW OR IS THIS MORE EVIDENT
THAN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS DATA
COLLECTED IN TWENTY NINETEEN
TO TWENTY TWENTY -- SHOW
THAT FIFTY THREE PERCENT OF
REPORTING SCHOOL DISTRICTS
FOUND LEAD IN AT LEAST ONE OF
THEIR DRINKING WATER FOUNTAINS
ON CAMPUS SB ELEVEN FORTY
FOUR REMEDY THIS BY REQUIRING
ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND STATE
AGENCIES TO COMPLETE A WATER
QUALITY ASSESSMENT ON THEIR
FACILITIES INCLUDING TESTING
FOR LEAD IF THEY'VE NOT ALREADY
DONE SO PURSUANT TO PREVIOUS
LEGISLATION IF LEAD IS FOUND
MITIGATION STEPS MUST BE TAKEN
INCLUDING ADDING FILTERS TO
WATER SOURCES OR REMOVING
LEAD PIPE WHERE APPLICABLE --
SUBJECT TO AVAILABLE FUNDING
ONE REASON FOR CONTAMINATION OF
SCHOOLS AND STATE AGENCIES IS
IS OF BUILDINGS OLDER PLUMBING
SYSTEMS ARE MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO POLLUTION -- ADDITIONALLY
THESE OLD SYSTEMS ARE LIKELY TO
BE INEFFICIENT TERMS OF LEAKAGE
-- AND SO FORTH -- SB ELEVEN
FORTY FOUR WILL ALSO REQUIRE
SCHOOLS AND STATE AGENCIES
TO MAKE AN ASSESSMENT AROUND
WATER EFFICIENCY REPLACING
ANY FIXTURES DON'T MEET STATE
OFFICIALS THE STANDARDS SUBJECT
TO AVAILABLE FUNDING AND LASTLY
SPLM FORTY FOUR REQUIRES ONE
APPROPRIATE OFFER A BUILDING TO
CREATE A LEGIONELLA MANAGEMENT
PLAN WITH LEGIONELLA CASES
RISING OVER FOUR HUNDRED
PERCENT IN THE PAST DECADE --
WE SHOULD ALIGN OURSELVES WITH
NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
STANDARDS OF MANAGING
POTENTIALLY RISKY FIXTURES AND
DEVICES PARTICULARLY COOLING
TOWERS AND OF COURSE THE
MOMENT WE'VE AGREED TO A WILL
LIMIT THE LEASE AND ALL -- --
ASPECT -- COOLING TOWERS THAT
ARE MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD
I'M SO OUR COLLEAGUES AGAIN I
THANK YOU AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE WITH ME
TODAY -- TESTIFY -- IS OUR
REPORTERS REPRESENTATIVE
IDEXX WATER AND -- -- MISTER
WATCH FROM THE PATRIOTS
COUNCIL BE HER SEMESTER AND
SLOW THIS YEAR ON HIS BEHALF
-- SO THANK YOU YOUR FIRST
WITNESS TWO MINUTES PLEASE
THANK YOU COMMENTS ON BEHALF
OF THE CALPERS THREE PIPE
TRADES COUNCIL AND ALSO THE
INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
PLUMBING MECHANICAL OFFICIALS
OF THIS BILL ESSENTIALLY DOES
THREE THINGS -- ESPECIALLY
AT THE AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL
ALL KIND OF CLEAN UP FIRST IT
REQUIRES SCHOOLS TO IDENTIFY
IF THEY HAVE OLD INEFFICIENT
FIXTURES ON THIS IS REALLY A
FOLLOW UP ON THE CIVIL CODE
PRIVETT PROVISION THAT WAS
ADOPTED I THINK FIFTEEN YEAR
OR TEN YEARS AGO THAT REQUIRES
ALL COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS THAT HAVE PICTURES
THAT ARE OVER I THINK TWENTY
YEARS OLD THEY NEED TO PUT IN
MORE EFFICIENT FIXTURES TO BIG
WASTE OF WATER AND THEY'RE ALSO
THOSE OLDER FIXTURES TEND TO
HAVE LETTING THEM THIS WILL NOT
DO THAT YOUR LAW DIDN'T APPLY
TO SCHOOLS A STATE BUILDINGS
THIS TELL SCHOOLS TO SEE IF
THEY HAVE THOSE PICTURES AND
IF THEY HAVE MONEY APPROPRIATED
THEY SHOULD THEY SHOULD REPLACE
THEM A SECOND TO ASK GIRLS TO
I'M STATE BUILDINGS TO LOOK
AT WHETHER NOT THEY OF LEAD
CONTAMINATION AND OLD THAT
PIPE FOR THE SCHOOLS THIS IS
NOT A BIG LEFT BECAUSE THEY
ALREADY DEAD MOST OF THIS WORK
ON THE CONSOLIDATOR DOESN'T
REQUIRE THEM TO DO ANY TESTING
WHAT BUT THE GONZALEZ BILL
-- STATED THAT IF THEY FOUND
LEAD CONTAMINATION AND THEN
THEY HAD IT EITHER REPLACE THE
PIPES PROVIDE FILTERS OR AS
A TEMPORARY MEASURE A PROVIDE
BOTTLED WATER WE WANT THEM
TO GET BEYOND THAT TEMPERING
MEASURE WE SAY IF THERE'S
FUNDING AVAILABLE OR LET
ALLOCATED THEN THEY SHOULD I
PUT FIFTY FOOT PUT FILTERS ON
THE -- DRINKING WATER FOUNTAINS
AND IF THEY HAVE OLD LEAD PIPE
MEANING THAT PIPE THAT -- IN A
PRE NINETEEN EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY
FOUR I THINK THAT PIPE IT CAN
BE UP TO A HUNDRED PERCENT
LEAD PIPE THAT THAT PIPE SHOULD
BE REPLACED IF THEY HAVE THAT
BUT FUNDING SO IT SAYS MAKE
TAKING THAT NEXT STEP FROM
THE CONSEILLERS BILL AND THEN
FINALLY REQUIRES SCHOOLS THAT
ARE -- THAT ARE OLDER OR PRE
TWO THOUSAND AND TEN THAT HAVE
A THEY HAVE A WATER COOLING
TOWER THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE
LEGIONELLA MANAGEMENT PLAN THIS
IS CONSISTENT WITH NATIONAL
GUIDANCE UNDER PRESSURE ONE
EIGHTY EIGHT THAT ACTUALLY
CALLS FOR ALL BUILDINGS JOB
WATER MANAGEMENT PLANS BUT
WE KNOW THAT BUILDINGS OF
COOLING TOWERS NO THEY THEY
SHOULD ESPECIALLY SHOULD MAKE
SURE THAT THEY HAVE THOSE
NONE OF THIS ON THE ON THE
SCHOOL SIDE NONE OF THIS
WOULD APPLY TO SCHOOLS PRE
TWO THOUSAND AND TEN -- YOU
KNOW AND SO THIS IS ALL APPLY
TO THE FEW OLDER BUILDINGS
THAT HAVE OLDER FIXTURES OR
STILL HAVE LET ISSUES ACTED
IN A DRESS AFTER THE GONZALEZ
BELT THANK YOU THANK YOU

PROFESSIONALS AND SCIENTISTS
AND MY COLLEAGUE PATSY ROUTE
PARTICIPATED IN WRITING ASHTRAY
ONE EIGHTY EIGHT STANDARD BY
ADOPTING ASHTRAY ONE EIGHTY
EIGHT STANDARD AND FOCUSING
ON A LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA
THIS BILL WILL REDUCE THE
INCIDENCES OF LEGIONNAIRES
DISEASE WHICH CAUSES DEATH
AND UP TO ONE OF ONE THIRD OF
PEOPLE DIAGNOSED ACCORDING TO
CDC AFFECTS BLACK AMERICANS
AT TWICE THE RATE AS THAN
OTHER POPULATIONS TO PREVENT
THIS DISEASE CDC PROMOTES
MANAGING BUILDING WATER SYSTEMS
BECAUSE THIS APPROACH STARTS
PREVENTION AS CLOSE TO THE
POTENTIAL VICTIMS AND POINTS
OF EXPOSURE AS POSSIBLE AND
HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO WORK
THIS BILL INCORPORATES THE
NATIONAL CREDIT ASHTRAY ONE
EIGHTY EIGHT STANDARD FOR
MANAGING BUILDING WATER SYSTEMS
DEVELOPED BY EPA CDC COOLING
TECHNOLOGY INSTITUTE I A P.
M.
O.
N.
VETERANS ADMINISTRATION WE
AGREE THE BILL'S FOCUS ON
LEADS NOW AND I'M AWFUL AT A
POSITION THAT IS ALSO SUPPORTED
BY EPA CDC OUTBREAK DATA SHOWS
LEGIONELLA PNEUMOPHILA CAUSES
NINETY EIGHT PERCENT OF CASES
AND ALL DEATHS FROM REGIONALS
WHICH AIRS DISEASE THIS TESTING
IS DISPENSABLE PROOF AND FACT
THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IF A PLAN
IS WORKING DATA SHOWS ROUTINE
TESTING WILL SAVE LIVES CDC
RESEARCH SHOWS NINE OUT OF
TEN LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE CASES
CAN BE PREVENTED BY MANAGING
BUILDING WATER SYSTEMS I
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO
PASS THIS BILL IT'S A CRITICAL
STEP FORWARD IN PROTECTING
CALIFORNIANS WITH THIS DEADLY
DISEASE OUR MESSAGE TODAY IS
ALSO SUPPORTED BY JENNIFER

WATER TREATED FOR FORTY YEARS
THANK YOU THANK YOU OTHERS
IN SUPPORT MAY COME BOARD
GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS KILEY
WALKING HERE TO REGISTER
SUPPORT ON BEHALF OF THE
BLUEGREEN ALLIANCE AS WELL
AS THE SIERRA CLUB THANK YOU
VERY MUCH GREAT THANK YOU
ANY OPPOSITION ABOARD PLEASE
EVEN THE RESERVE
GOOD AFTERNOON
GOOD AFTERNOON MR TURN MEMBERS
DOROTHY JOHNSON ON BEHALF
THE ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED TO
SENATE BILL ELEVEN FORTY FOR
A MEASURE THAT SOUNDS GOOD AS
A PUBLIC INTEREST MEASURE BUT
REALITY IS REDUNDANT COSTLY
AND DISCONNECTED FROM STANDARD
PROCEDURES TO MITIGATE LEAD AND
LEGIONELLA AND WATER WE DO VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS
BY THE COMMITTEE AND THE WORK
TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE MOST
EGREGIOUS PROVISIONS AND WE
DO LOOK FORWARD TO REVIEWING
-- THAT LANGUAGE WHEN IT IS
AVAILABLE BUT WE REMAIN DEEPLY
CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS BILL AT
ITS CORE CONTINUES TO OFFER A
SOLUTION WITHOUT IDENTIFYING
A PROBLEM OR MEASURABLE GOALS
THAT WE'VE ACHIEVED A SOLUTION
I THE BILL'S GOOD INTENTIONS
ASIDE WE BELIEVE THIS APPROACH
IS BACKWARDS IT IS LOOKING
TO TEST BUILDING MATERIALS
FOR WATER QUALITY IF WE WANT
TO TEST WATER QUALITY WE
SHOULD TEST THE WATER ALSO
SOME MISSTEPS PRESCRIBE WOULD
ACTUALLY CREATE MORE HAZARDOUS
WATER AND POSSIBLY YOUR
CONDITIONS -- TO FOLLOW THAT
MEDIATION SET FORTH -- ALSO SB
ELEVEN FORTY FOUR REGRETTABLY
FAILS TO CONSIDER THE ENTIRE
WATER SYSTEM BY LEAVING WATER
AGENCIES LARGELY OUT OF THE
BILL IT DOES NOT CONTEMPLATE
THAT CONTAMINATION COULD
HAPPEN AT THE SOURCE BEFORE
THE WATER ENTERS THE SCHOOL
FACILITY AT THIS POINT IS MOST
CLEARLY SEEN IN ITS APPROACH
TO LEGIONELLA ABATEMENT WHICH
ESTABLISHED PRACTICE OF FOCUS
ON DISINFECTING THE WATER
SOURCE AND NOT AT THE POINT
OF WHERE THE DRINKING WATER
IS ACCESSED AND OF COURSE WE
CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE COSTLY
MANDATES SET FORTH AND WE DO
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS THAT
WOULD MAKE NONPROFIT NINETY
EIGHT DOLLARS AVAILABLE FOR
THIS PURPOSE BUT THERE WOULD
BE A SIPHON OF FINITE RESOURCES
PERSON FACILITIES THAT WOULD
BE -- STILL IN MUCH NEED FOR
OTHER ESTABLISHED PROGRAMS
SUCH AS UNIVERSAL TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN AND FINALLY
WE DO NOT BELIEVE SB ELEVEN
FORTY FOUR HAS IDENTIFIED A
WORK FORCE TO COMPLETE THE
NECESSARY WATER EFFICIENCY
AND QUALITY ASSESSMENTS AND
FOR THESE REASONS ACTS OPPOSES
ELEVEN FORTY FOUR WE URGE YOUR
NO VOTE AND MY COLLEAGUE WITH
THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION HAS REQUESTED TO
ALIGN THEIR POSITION WITH MY
COMMENTS THANK YOU THANK YOU
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR O'DONNELL
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND
CONSULTANTS I'M PATRICK
SHANNON SPEAKING ON BEHALF
OF THE ALLIANCE TO PREVENT
LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE WE
APPRECIATE MY FRIEND SCOTT
WIENER'S ENGAGEMENT ON THIS
BILL BUT REGRETTABLY WE STILL
OPPOSE AND ASK FOR THE REMOVAL
OF THE LEGION AIR'S PROVISIONS
AND ENCOURAGE A NEW BILL TO
ADDRESS LEGIONELLA HOLISTICALLY
FIRST AS A WATER QUALITY ISSUE
LEGIONNAIRE'S DISEASES FROM
LEGIONELLA BACTERIA THAT'S
IN WATER SOURCES IN ANY
STANDALONE PLANNED FOR BUILDING
REMEDIATION WILL ONLY HAVE A
NEGLIGIBLE EFFECT IF ANY WE
NEED TO FOLLOW THE SCIENCE THE
FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE MUST BE
KILLING THE BACTERIA IN THE
WATER SOURCES TREATMENT PLANTS
AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS WITH
EFFECTIVE LEVELS OF CHLORINE
AT ALL STAGES THE BUILDING
REMEDIATION PLAN IN THE BILL
EVEN TAKEN ALONE DOES NOT
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE THE LEADING
NATIONAL BUILDING STANDARDS
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING
BUILDING ENGINEERS SPECIALIZING
IN HEATING REFRIGERATION AND
COOLING THAT A TWELVE YEAR
EFFORT TO DEVELOP WHAT'S BEEN
CALLED ASHTRAY ONE EIGHTY EIGHT
HOWEVER THE BILL SUBSTANTIALLY
DEVIATES FROM THE ONE EIGHTY
EIGHT STANDARDS IT DOES NOT
CONFORM IN THREE WAYS FIRST
ONE EIGHTY EIGHT DOES RECOGNIZE
THAT BUILDING REMEDIATION
MUST BE DONE IN TANDEM WITH
WATER QUALITY REMEDIATION
IN FACT FIRST SECOND THE
TRIGGER FOR ADOPTING BUILDING
MEASURES REMEDIATION IS THE
PRESENCE OF A SIGNIFICANT
RISK FACTOR STARTING WITH BY
THE BUILDING OCCUPANTS HAVE
IMMUNO COMPROMISED PEOPLE IN
THE BUILDING WITH POSSIBLE
CORPS MOB COMORBIDITIES AND
WHETHER THE BUILDING IS A LARGE
COMPLEX FACILITY TEN STORIES
OR MORE WITH A COMPLEX WATER
SYSTEM BUT THIS BILL TURNS THE
RISK CALCULATION ON ITS HEAD
BY CHERRY PICKING SCHOOLS IN
STATE BUILDINGS WITH THE LOWEST
RISK POPULATIONS IN THE LOWEST
RISK PROFILE THIRD NINETY SIX
PERCENT OF THE TIME LEGIONELLA
CASES ARE NOT CAUSED BY AN
OUTBREAK BUT THEY'RE ISOLATED
AND SPORADIC LEGIONELLA IS
NATURALLY OCCURS OCCURRING
AND WE ALL CONFRONT IT THE
MATH THE VAST RATHER MAJORITY
OF CASES OCCUR IN HOMES AND
THAT'S WHERE IMMUNO COMPROMISED
AN ELDERLY PEOPLE ARE MOST
AT RISK THERE ARE NO REPORTED
OUTBREAKS IN THE SCHOOLS OVER
THE LAST TWENTY YEARS AND ANY
OUTBREAKS IN STATE BUILDINGS
ARE EXCEEDINGLY RARE SO THE
RISK STRATIFICATION APPROACH
WOULD RECOMMEND STARTING WITH
HEALTH CARE FACILITIES AND
HOSPITALS WHICH IS WHAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DOES REQUIRE
AND DOES NOT GO FURTHER OUR
LAST POINT IS WE WOULD LOVE
TO WORK WITH SENATOR WIENER
AND I WILL SAY THAT ASHTRAY
ITSELF SAID IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE TO DEVIATE AT ALL FROM
ONE EIGHTY EIGHT EITHER ADDING
OR DELETING ANY PROVISIONS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH GREAT GREAT
THANK YOU ARE YOU MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH
THE COLLUSION FOR ADEQUATE
SCHOOL HOUSING ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SCHOOL OPPOSITION AND
I'M HERE FOR A AS A RESOURCE

COUNTY SCHOOL FACILITIES
CONSORTIUM APPRECIATE THE
COMMITTEE'S WORK ON THIS
BUT REMAIN OPPOSED THANK YOU
TO ALLOW YOU ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP AND I'VE TO
PROFUSELY APOLOGIZE TO YOUR
STATURE O'DONNELL AND DO CENTER
WINNERS THE LETTER REISMAN IS
A PORTAL DIDN'T GET THROUGH
I GOOFED I THINK BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE THE LETTER WHICH
IS OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED ONE
ALIGNMENT WITH THE ALLIANCE
FOR THE LEGIONNAIRE PEOPLE
SAYING IT'S THE WRONG APPROACH
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OF A BILL
ABOUT TESTING FOR LEAD IN CHILD
CARE CENTERS PASSED AND WAS
SIGNED BY THE GOVERNOR TWENTY
EIGHTEEN BY HOLDEN AND IT'S
CLEAR IN CONFLICT WITH THIS
BILL ADDRESS HAS TO BE FIXED
WHETHER OR NOT THE BILL GOES
FORWARD BECAUSE IT'S DEFINITELY
UNDERMINING THE SOUGHT
DEPARTMENT SOCIAL SCIENCES AND
THE THANK YOU BILL THANK YOU
AFTERNOON CHAIRED MEMBERS
SOCIAL OR WHAT'S WITH THE LOS
ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
IN OPPOSITION THANK YOU
IT'S A FAIR MEMBERS JEFF BARKER
REPRESENTING THE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS AND OFFICES THANK
YOU WITH THAT ANY CONSERVE
ENERGY THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
SAYING NO COMMENTS DO WE
HAVE A MOTION MR MCCARTY
MOVES MISTER YOUR QUESTION
I APPRECIATE RICH I DO IN
SUPPORT OF THIS KICKING YOU
SOMEWHAT RESPOND TO THE ISSUES
AS FAR AS INCONSISTENCY WITH
OUR PRIOR WORK IN THIS FIELD
AND HOW THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED
ARE YOU TALK ABOUT SPECIFIC
THE LEGIONELLA OR SOMETHING
ELSE ACTUALLY BOTH SO THAT
THAT CONFLICT WITH THE PRIOR
SO WE'RE NOT SO IN TERMS OF
THE LEAD YEAH -- ASPECT WE
TOOK AMENDMENTS I BELIEVE
IN THE SENATE -- TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE NOT CREATE
ANY DUPLICATION OVER WHAT --
WE'RE PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON --
ON -- FORMER ASSEMBLYMEMBER
GONZALEZ'S BILL -- AND SO WE
DID TAKE SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS
AROUND THE LEAD TESTING SO THAT
WE WEREN'T CREAM DUPLICATION
AROUND THAT -- -- IN TERMS OF
OF THESE AN ALLY WITH PROPS
I MIGHT A WITNESSES RESPOND
MORE FULLY BUT WE -- WELL WE
ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT WATER
SOURCES ARE AN ISSUE WITH LEASE
AND ALL WE'RE NOT DISPUTING
THAT -- SO ARE THE FACILITIES
AND -- THE -- THE STANDARDS
THAT WERE REFERRED TO ALSO
-- -- FOCUS ON FACILITIES NOT
JUST ON THE WATER SOURCE AND
-- COOLING TOWERS ARE KNOWN
RISK ISSUE AND THAT'S ON TO GO
TO THE CITY CITY CITY OR ARE
ANY OTHER HEALTH AUTHORITIES
-- YOU THAT'S THAT'S CLEAR
-- AND THAT'S WHY WITH THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS THE
BILL HAS NARROWED TO GOING TO
BUILDINGS WAS CØNG TOWERS IN A
MORE THAN TEN YEARS OLD -- BUT
I DON'T KNOW IF OR WHEN THIS
IS COULD RESPOND IN MORE DETAIL
YEAH I CAN RESPOND A COUPLE
THAT I MEAN FIRST OF ALL AS TO
THE STATEMENT THAT LEGIONELLA
IS NOT FOUND IN SCHOOLS JUST
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE WAS
AN OPERATOR NOT A NUMBER OF
SCHOOLS IN OHIO DUKE UNIVERSITY
-- AND -- -- JOHN HOPKINS
UNIVERSITY -- NUMBER IN ALABAMA
ABOUT SIX DIFFERENT SCHOOLS SO
ON REGIONAL OUTBREAKS DO OCCUR
IN SCHOOLS THAT THAT SYSTEM
CORRECT STATEMENT -- AS FAR
AS INCONSISTENCY WITH EFFORT
ONE EIGHTY EIGHT YOU KNOW WE
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH THAT
THAT'S NOT OUR OUR EXPERTS WHO
ALSO WERE ON THE ONE EIGHTY
EIGHT COMMITTEE DID YOU DO NOT
AGREE WE'VE TALKED WITH ASHTRAY
ABOUT THIS THAT WITH WHAT
THEY ARE CONCERNED THEY HAD
WAS A MANDATE TO USE SPECIFIC
ARE CERTIFIED -- AND UNDER --
THEY SSE STANDARD THAT'S NOT
A MANDATE UNDER THE CURRENT
OUR RULE AND THAT THE IT'S
CRIED YET YOU USE PEOPLE WHO
DRESS IN TRAINING IN AN AD FREE
ONE EIGHTY EIGHT AND THAT CAN
INCLUDE PEOPLE WITH AS A C.
CERTIFICATION -- BUT WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW
PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING
WHEN THEY FOLLOW AFTER ONE
EIGHTY EIGHT ONE EIGHTY EIGHT
DOES APPLIED TO TWO BUILDINGS
-- A LACK A LOT OF WHAT
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS WHEN
YOU REQUIRE TESTING WE TOOK
OUT THE TESTING REQUIREMENT
AND LAST THAT THE MANAGEMENT
TEAM WILL PUT TOGETHER THE
PLAN IDENTIFIES WHEN TESTING
MIGHT BE NEEDED OR IDENTIFIES
THAT THE BUILDING IS SERVING
IN THE COMPROMISED PEOPLE
THANK YOU
GREAT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
I THINK WE ALL AGREE WANT TO
KEEP OUR STUDENTS SAFE AND OUR
STAFF SAFE AND RUN HAVE SAFE
DRINKING WATER BUT COMING FROM
A -- PRIOR TO BEING ELECTED TO
THE ASSEMBLY ASA SMALL SCHOOL
BOARD SO THE FIRST THING I
WOULD THINK OF AS THE COST AND
SO IS THERE A FUNDING SOURCE
THAT YOU'VE IDENTIFIED SO SO
IF A SMALL SCHOOL DOES DISCOVER
LEAD IN THEIR PIPES WHAT'S NEXT
SO THE -- THROUGHOUT THIS BILL
-- IT IT IT DOES NOT MANDATE
THAT YOU DO IT IF YOU'RE
REQUIRES THE KNOWLEDGE AND
INFORMATION -- AND THAT'S WHEN
FUNDING IS AVAILABLE THE DALLAS
IS ACTUALLY WALKS THROUGH --
SOME OF THE FUNDING THAT THAT
IS AVAILABLE FOR SOME OF THESE
ARE PURPOSES I DON'T WANT TO
WALK IN HERE AND PRETEND LIKE
ALL OF OUR YOU KNOW AS WE
KNOW IT MANY THINGS WITH OUR
SCHOOLS -- VERA LOT OF THINGS
THAT WE KNOW NEED TO HOP AND
-- DOT -- THAT AREN'T CURRENTLY
FUNDED -- AND WHAT I WILL SAY
IS THAT WE I THINK WE OUGHT
TO BE COMMITTED TO MAKING UP
ON THE HAPPENED AND -- IN THE
COMING YEARS THANK YOUR SPONSOR
WANTS TO SAY SOMETHING OF
SEVEN DOLLARS ON NOT ON BEHALF
OF THE COMPANY STATE PATRIOTS
COUNCIL IN TWENTY TWENTY THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED ASSEMBLY
BILL EIGHT FORTY ONE BY
PHIL TING WHICH TRANSFERRED
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM
THE CPUC ENERGY EFFICIENCY
FUNDS TO THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY COMMISSION AND SET
ASIDE SIXTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR SPECIFICALLY
FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF LEAD
FIXTURES IN SCHOOLS SO THAT
PART OF MONEY IS THERE FOR
SCHOOLS TO APPLY FOR AND WE'RE
ENCOURAGING SCHOOLS TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THAT THANK YOU
IF I MAY I'M AND I'M AT A
BIT OF A DISADVANTAGE BECAUSE
WE'VE NOT YET SEEN THE ACTUAL
LANGUAGE AND THE DEVIL IS
DEFINITELY DETAILS HEALER IF
YOU'RE FORGIVE THE CLICHE BUT
-- AS PREVIOUSLY RAN THE LAST
VERSION WE SAW THERE WERE
PROVISIONS THAT HAD FUNDING SET
ASIDES ONLY REQUIRED IF FUNDING
IS AVAILABLE THERE ANOTHER
FIVE OR SIX REQUIREMENTS THAT
WERE REQUIRED AS A MANDATE
REGARDLESS OF FUNDING WAS
AVAILABLE THAT INCLUDED
PREPARATION OF WATER QUALITY
ASSESSMENTS -- IMPLEMENTATION
OF A QUALITY PLAN WITH
MEDICATION IF PIPES ARE NOT
REPLACED WITHIN A YEAR AND
THEN ALSO THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE LEGIONELLA MANAGEMENT
PLANS SO WE VERY MUCH LOOK
FORWARD TO REVIEWING WHERE AND
HOW THIS MONEY WOULD BE MADE
AVAILABLE AND IF IT WOULD BE
AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRETY
OF THE BILL AND NOT JUST THAT
THE NEAR PROVISIONS -- THAT
WERE PREVIOUSLY SET ASIDE
IF I COULD JUST IF I MAY ADD
-- YES THAT THAT IS CORRECT
OF COURSE THE HIGHEST COST
PIECES WOULD BE IS LIKE
REPLACING PIPES AND AND NOTS
IT'S CLEAR THE BILL'S CLEAR
IT'S ONE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE
-- SO THAT THAT'S REALLY THE
THE THE HIGHEST COST APIECE
THANK YOU SEEN NO MORE
QUESTIONS DO WE HAVE A MOTION
ON THE BILL RT MOVES MR THE
SECONDS BOB THE MOTION IS --
-- YOUR PASSED AS AMENDED TO
APPROPRIATIONS YOU MAKE CLOTHES
-- I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE -- GO AHEAD AND

I HOPE THE NEXT EIGHT WILL BE
BETTER RIGHT I HOPE SO -- BUT
YOU KNOW I WHEN I TRY TO MAKE
THIS COMMITTEE AND I THINK
WE DID A DECENT JOB OF IT IS
NOT A BILL FACTORY HEY TOO
MANY -- TOO MANY PEOPLE VIEWED
THIS LEGISLATURE AS A BILL
FACTORY AND I DO NOT VIEW THIS
LEGISLATURE AS BILL FACTORY
IT SHOULD BE A POLICY MAKING
BODY AND THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT
WE BROUGHT MORE OF -- THAT IS
GOING TO PASS BY FRANKLY TO THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE THAT BRING
THAT AS A CLASSROOM TEACHER
RIGHT ALL THESE BILLS TO TRY
TO TELL TEACHERS CAN DO THIS
TEACHERS CAN'T DO THAT YOU KNOW
IT'S INTERESTING YOU DON'T SEE
ALL THESE BILLS BILLS FEEL TELL
THE THE STREET SWEEPER WHAT
HE HAS TO DO OR SHE HAS TO DO
RIGHT YES SOME HOW LEGISLATORS
FEEL COMFORTABLE OR THEY
HAVE A DESIRE TO BE A SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATOR YOU WANT TO BE A
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR YES COOL
ADMINISTRATOR RIGHT AND THAT
CAN BE FRUSTRATING FOR FOLKS
WE SAW SOME OF YOUR TODAY RIGHT
SOME OF THE MEMBERS WERE HAPPY
BECAUSE THEY'RE BILLS DIDN'T
GET WHERE THEY WANT TO BE THEY
ALWAYS SAY DON'T FORM OF YOUR
IDEA YOUR IDEA MIGHT NOT BE
THAT GREAT RIGHT IT MIGHT BE

ONE OF THE BIGGEST FRUSTRATIONS
WE'VE SEEN OVER THE YEARS AS
PEOPLE GREEN TRAINING BILLS

WE'RE ACTUALLY OF FUND THE
CLASSROOM BETTER BECAUSE THEN
WE GET SMALLER CLASS SIZES
MORE COUNSELORS ON SCHOOL
SITES WHICH ARE PROBABLY FROM
MY PERSPECTIVE THE TO TWO OF
