MEMBERS WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
BUDGET ITEMS BEFORE THE HOUSE
TODAY. MR TING IS READY TO
PRESENT. ITEM ONE. OH, SEVEN. IT
SAYS SB 1 30. ADAM ONE. OH,
SEVEN. SP 1 30. THE CLERK WILL
READ. SENATE BILL 1 30 BY THE
COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FISCAL
REVIEW, IMMACULATE INTO STATE
EMPLOYMENT MAKING APPROPRIATION
THAT FORWARD TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY BEAR RELATED TO THE
BUDGET. MR TANG, YOU MAY OPEN.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. WE ARE
DOING THESE ITEMS A LITTLE BIT
OUT OF ORDER. SO BEFORE I GET SP
1 30 LET ME JUST TALK ABOUT THE
BUDGET THAT WE ARE PRESENTING
TODAY. ON THE HEELS O LAST
YEAR'S HISTORIC BUDGET. AND
AGAIN WHEN WE WERE HERE TWO
YEARS AGO. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE
OF COVID. WE WERE LOOKING AT A
RECESSION. WE HAD TO DO BUDGET
CUTS. WE REALLY WEREN'T SURE
WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN WITH OUR
ECONOMY WITH OUR STATE WITH OUR
COUNTRY, FRANKLY, WITH WITH THE
WORLD. AND I FEEL INCREDIBLY
FORTUNATE. TO BE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. NOT ONLY WHERE WE
FOLLOW SCIENCE OVER FICTION. AND
WHERE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
TO SAVE LIVES, AND WE DID THAT.
IN OUR ECONOMY WITH A MUCH
BETTER FOR IT AND WHAT YOU'VE
SEEN IN OUR BUDGET NOT JUST LAST
YEAR, BUT THIS YEAR. IS OUR
ECONOMY CONTINUES TO GROW AND
GROW AND GROW AND OUR BUDGET
IT'S A REFLECTION OF THAT. THIS
IS ANOTHER RECORD BUDGET. OVER
$300 BILLION IN TOTAL SPENDING.
$234 BILLION IN GENERAL FUND
SPENDING. MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE
KNOW IT SOMETIMES IT'S NOT GONNA
BE AS GOOD AS TODAY. SO WE HAVE
RECORD BUDGET RESERVES $37
BILLION WHEN I CAME IN HERE 10
YEARS AGO. THERE WAS NO RESERVE.
WE WERE WE WERE JUST BARELY ABLE
TO PAY THE BILLS. WE HAVE COME
OFFTHE HEELS OF THE LAST GREAT
RECESSION. WE PASSED OUR RAINY
DAY ACT. ASKING US ASKING THE
VOTERS TO LET US SAVE MONEY. SO
WE ARE MAKING SURE WE'RE SAVING
MONEY SO WE DON'T HAVE TO DO
CUTS IN THE FUTURE. MOST
IMPORTANTLY, WHEN YOU HAVE THIS
KIND OF. BUDGET YOU HAVE TO MAKE
SURE WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE
STILL VERY MUCH IN NEED. WE KNOW
MANY PEOPLE HAVEN'T RECOVERED
FROM COVID WE KNOW BEFORE COVID
PEOPLE WERE STRUGGLING TO MAKE
ENDS MEET. THEY WERE STRUGGLING
TO STAY HOUSED. THEY WERE
STRUGGLING TO BUY FOOD. THEY
WERE STRUGGLING TO BUY GAS, ALL
THE THINGS THAT WE KEEP TALKING
ABOUT. SO IN THIS PACKAGE.
THERE'S $17 BILLION IN DIRECT
RELIEF GOING TO CALIFORNIA'S.
$9.5 BILLION OF THAT IS IN TAX
REFUNDS. YOU KNOW, I GET A
QUESTION EVERY DAY ABOUT WHY DID
WE DO TAX REFUNDS? WELL, WE DID
TAX REFUNDS BECAUSE WE VALUE
DOLLARS. IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT.
VERSUS PENNIES AT THE PUB.
FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE MAKING
NOT MAKING, BUT THEY'RE GONNA BE
RECEIVING MOST FAMILIES CAN MAKE
GETTING OVER $1000. SO I ASKED
PEOPLE WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE
$1000 CHECK? DO YOU WANT THAT 45
CENTS THAT? MAYBE YOU NOTICED.
MAYBE YOU DIDN'T. YOU'RE GONNA
GET $1.4 BILLION FOR FAMILIES
THAT CAN'T PAY UTILITY BILLS.
WORRIED ABOUT THE POWER
SHUTOFFS. SO THOSE ARE REAL
POWER SHUTOFFS. IT'S NOT A
BLACKOUT. IT'S BECAUSE YOU CAN'T
PAY THE BILLS. WE KNOW THAT
SMALL BUSINESSES SUFFERING $1.3
BILLION FOR BUSINESS RELIEF. IN
THIS KIND OF IN THIS KIND OF
BUDGET. YOU NEED TO INVEST IN
THE FUTURE. I WAS SO LUCKY. I
WAS BORN AND RAISED IN
CALIFORNIA.IN THE CALIFORNIA
THAT I GREW UP IN. REALLY WAS
BUILT. IN THE FIFTIES AND THE
SIXTIES. THE HIGHWAYS AND THE
ROADS. OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, OUR
HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM AND THE
PRODUCT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
THE PRODUCT OF CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
HIGHER EDUCATION. DIRECT
BENEFICIARY OF EVERY INVESTMENT
THAT WAS MADE ON THIS FLOOR. THE
19 FIFTIES 19 SIXTIES, SO WHEN
WE HAVE A CHANCE TO INVEST WE
CAN SPEND IT ALL NOW. A WEEK
AGO. WE GOTTA PAY IT FORWARD AND
MAKE SURE THE NEXT GENERATION IS
GOING TO GET THAT BENEFIT. SO
$47 BILLION IN INFRASTRUCTURE.
$47 BILLION. 15 BILLION OF
THAT'S FOR TRANSPORTATION.
DOESN'T DOESN'T DOESN'T TAKE A
GENIUS TO KNOW WE'VE GOT A
TRANSPORTATION ISSUE. YOU SPEND
FIVE MINUTES IN THE BAY AREA.
FIVE MINUTES IN FRESNO, FIVE
MINUTES IN L. A FIVE MINUTES IN
SAN DIEGO. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A
TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM. HARD TO
GO ANYWHERE DURING RUSH HOUR. $5
BILLION, ALSO FOR CLIMATE,
DROUGHT AND WILDFIRES. $4.5
BILLION FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES. I
KNOW, MISS, YOU KNOW, MY
COLLEAGUE FROM LONG BEACH WAS
WHAT KIND OF SCHOOL BOND. WE
DON'T NEED TO DO A SCHOOL BOMB
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO PUT $4.5
BILLION TO FIX ALL THOSE SCHOOLS
THAT LONG DESERVED IT. WE DON'T
NEED TO BORROW THAT MONEY. WE
HAVE THAT MONEY TODAY, AND
THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING. $2
BILLION FOR STUDENT HOUSING.
CAUSE WE HEAR ABOUT HOW MANY
STUDENTS THEY BARELY CAN AFFORD
TO GO TO SCHOOL, BUT THEY CAN'T
EVEN AFFORD RENT. $22 BILLION TO
BUILD MORE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. YOU SEE CSU. I'M GONNA
QUOTE, QUOTE OUR OUTGOING
COLLEAGUE FROM LONG BEACH OR
EDUCATION CHAIR BECAUSE THIS IS
LIKE THE BEST. EDUCATION BUDGET
EVER. RIGHT WE ARE RAISING EVERY
BOAT IN THAT OCEAN AND EVERY
SINGLE DISTRICT AND EVERY SINGLE
ONE OF OUR DISTRICTS. THEY'RE
GETTING A 13% INCREASE. MY
DISTRICT NO DIFFERENT THAN
ANYBODY ELSE'S DISTRICT 13.
BIGGEST BIGGEST BUMP, HIGHEST
EDUCATION LEVEL. SO WHEN YOU'RE
STUPID SUPERINTENDENTS COME AND
THEY'RE ALWAYS GOING TO ASK YOU
FOR MORE MONEY YOU GO. WE REALLY
DELIVERED RIGHT YOU GOT YOU GOT
TO FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT
MONEY IS GETTING TO WEAR INTO
THE CLASSROOM, MAKING SURE IT'S
GETTING INTO THE CLASSROOMS WITH
ALL THOSE STUDENTS. $7.9 BILLION
AND LEARNING RECOVERY EMERGENCY
BLOCK GRANTS. WE KNOW WHERE
STUDENTS ARE STILL RECOVERING
FROM COVID. HIGHER EDUCATION.
THIS BUDGET IS AN AMAZING BUDGET
FOR HYDRO CATION. COMING COMING
HERE IN 2012. IT WAS JUST CUTS
TO USC. SORRY. CUTS TO /C NOT
USC. EXCUSE ME. SCOTT CUTS TO
/C. UM FULL POWER FROM MY
TROJAN ALUMS. EXACTLY SORRY. AH
ALL THE CUTS TO YOU SEE, WE WERE
ROLLING OUT THE RED CARPET TO
ALL THE OUT OF STATE STUDENTS
WERE REVERSING THAT TREND. WE'RE
MAKING SURE THAT YOU SEE CSU
COMMUNITY COLLEGES CONTINUE TO
PRIORITIZE. CALIFORNIA HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS, CALIFORNIA
TRANSFER STUDENTS. 5% INCREASE
FOR CSU C COMMUNITY COLLEGE
GOT $600 MILLION ON TOP OF THEIR
REGULAR COLA. I MEAN, THERE.
THERE ARE THE HARDEST WORKING,
UH, FOLKS IN HIGHER END THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES I KNOW WE ALL
LOVE. EACH OF OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND ALL OUR DISTRICTS.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES. THIS
IS THIS IS THIS IS HISTORIC. IN
TERMS OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES ARE SUB CHAIR FROM SUB
JUAN BY MY COLLEAGUE FROM
FRESNO. EVERY YEAR WE TALKED
ABOUT GOING FOR MEDICAL FOR ALL
RIGHT, AND THIS IS THE YEAR THAT
WE DO IT. WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT IT FOR DECADES AND DECADES
AND DECADES, BUT THIS IS THE
YEAR WE DO IT ON THE HEELS OF A
PANDEMIC. WE REALIZED HOW
IMPORTANT HEALTH CARE IS BECAUSE
CERTAIN FAMILIES ALSO GOT LEFT
BEHIND IN THE LAST RECESSION. I
KNOW NOT JUST MY COLLEAGUE FROM
FRESNO, MY COLLEAGUE FROM TULARE
. I KNOW MY COLLEAGUE HERE FROM
LANCASTER. WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT
IN SUB ONE. WE HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT ALL THOSE DD
RATES ALL THOSE FAMILIES AND ALL
THOSE SENATORS WHO REALLY,
REALLY NEED THE HELP. SO LAST
YEAR, WE DID A FIVE YEAR RATE
INCREASE THIS YEAR. WE'RE GONNA
MORE MONEY. THOSE CENTERS NEED
THE MONEY TODAY. ALL THOSE
FAMILIES NEED THE MONEY TODAY. I
KNOW ON THE HEELS OF FRIDAY'S
DECISION. THIS INVESTMENT WAS
ALREADY IN THE WORKS. WE WERE
THIS WASN'T BECAUSE OF WHAT
HAPPENED ON FRIDAY. BUT THIS IS
AN INVESTMENT BECAUSE WE SAW
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH HAS TO BE A
PRIORITY. FOR THE STATE. $200
MILLION. I DIDN'T DO THE MATH.
FOR COMPARISON, BUT I CAN'T
IMAGINE ANY STATES DOING EVEN
CLOSE TO WHAT WE'RE DOING TO
EXPAND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH HERE
IN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE WE JUDGE
OUR STATE NOT BY HOW MANY
BILLIONAIRES WE MEANT. BY HOW
WELL THE POOREST PEOPLE IN OUR
STATE ARE DOING. WE'RE DOING A
SIGNIFICANT JUMP FOR THOSE ON
CALLE WORKS. WE'RE DOING A
SIGNIFICANT JUMP FOR THOSE ON S
S I N S SP BECAUSE THAT'S HOW WE
JUDGE OURSELVES AS A SOCIETY.
NOT BY HOW THE BILLIONAIRES ARE
DEALING, BUT REALLY, WHETHER OR
NOT PEOPLE CAN CLIMB THE
ECONOMIC LADDER PEOPLE PEOPLE
CAN HAVE HOUSING AND FOOD. IN
TERMS OF HOUSING. WE'RE STARTING
A HISTORIC DOWN PAYMENT
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, THANKS TO
OUR SENATE PROTEST $500 MILLION
PER HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE FOR
DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE $1
BILLION MORE FOR HOUSING AND
HOMELESSNESS. AND $700 MILLION
FOR IN CAMPING GRANTS. WE KNOW
ALL THE CAMPS. WE SEE WHAT WE
SEE WHAT NEEDS TO GET DONE, SO
WE'RE DEFINITELY SPENDING THE
RESOURCES. SO THAT JUST GIVES
YOU 11. LAST POINT. WE ORGANIZED
RETAIL THEFT. THAT'S AN ISSUE IN
MY DISTRICT NOTES AN ISSUE A LOT
OF PEOPLE'S DISTRICT 288 MILLION
OVER THREE YEARS FOR ORGANIZED
RETAIL THEFT. BECAUSE WE KNOW
THAT THIS IS NOT JUST THE LOCAL
CITY PROBLEM. THIS IS REALLY AN
ORGANIZED REGIONAL STATEWIDE
PROBLEM. DID THAT JUST WALKS YOU
THROUGH SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS.
LET ME LET ME JUST THANK ALL THE
FOLKS THAT HAVE PARTICIPATED IN
OVER 70 HEARINGS THIS YEAR. WE
HAVE OUR FIVE AMAZING SUBJECTS I
MENTIONED THE ONE FROM FRESNO
ARE SUB TO CHAIR FROM SACRAMENTO
ARE SUB THREE CHAIR. I WANT TO

BUDGET THAT WE ACTUALLY AGREE

ABOUT WHAT WE ARGUE ABOUT, BUT
THERE'S SO MUCH WE ARE
DELIVERING FOR EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF OUR CONSTITUENTS UP AND DOWN
THE STATE. LET ME THANK OUR
SPEAKER, OUR SPEAKER AT HIS
OFFICE AND THEY'RE HIS
INCREDIBLE LEADERSHIP AND REALLY
IS GETTING US TO THIS POINT.
JASON SYDNEY FROM THE SPEAKER'S
OFFICE, CHRISTIAN GRIFFITH,
WHO'S OUR CHIEF CONSULTANT FOR
OUR BUDGET COMMITTEE. MOST OF MY
BUDGET STAFF. OUR BUDGET STAFF
IS BACK THERE REALLY APPRECIATE
ALL THEIR INCREDIBLE HARD WORK.
GIVE IT UP FOR THEM. GOING TO
THANK OUR MY SENATE COUNTERPART
FROM OAKLAND. COULDN'T IMAGINE
IN A STOCK IS BOTH OF US WENT TO
BERKELEY. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S
JUST WONDERFUL PARTNERSHIP WITH
HER. UM AND REALLY ALL OF HER.
THE SENATE STAFF ALSO WANT TO
THANK ELIO DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
AND ALLEGED COUNCIL FOR ALL THE
INCREDIBLE WORK THE BUDGET. UM
DOCUMENTS ARE USUALLY ABOUT 1000
PAGES. I KNOW YOU ALL. DON'T SEE
IT. BUT WE SEE THEIR OFFICE AND
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE, UH,
PAGES IS ALL BEEN WORKED ALL
BEEN LOOKED AT BY THAT
INCREDIBLE STAFF. SO AGAIN, UH,
MEMBERS, THIS IS JUST A HISTORIC
OPPORTUNITY VERY MUCH
APPRECIATED US FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
THE FIRST BILL IS SB 1 30. IT'S
AN MOU RATIFY MANY OF OUR LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. CALIFORNIA
HIGHWAY PATROL. CALIFORNIA
CORRECTIONAL PEACE OFFICERS,
CALIFORNIA STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT
AND CAL FIRE LOCAL TO 88
RATIFIES ONE TIME PUBLIC SAFETY
RECOGNITION PAYMENT. FOR
SUPPORTING THE DELIVERY OF
PUBLIC SAFETY DURING THE
PANDEMIC IN A HEALTH CARE
FACILITY POTENTIAL PAYMENT
AGREED UPON BETWEEN THE STATE
AND CCPOA SO BUT THAT RESPECT
FAST FIVE VOTE ON SB 1 30. THANK
YOU, MR PINK. MR. FONG, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. LET ME FIRST
ACKNOWLEDGE THE BUDGET CHAIR IN
THE WORK THAT, UH, HE'S PUT INTO
THIS PROCESS. UM AND OUR STAFF
AS WELL ON THE ASSEMBLY,
REPUBLICAN SIDE AND HIS STAFF AS
WELL. AH UNFORTUNATELY, I CANNOT
SUPPORT THIS BUDGET FRAMEWORK.
IN SACRAMENTO. WE FALL INTO THIS
FALSE MENTALITY. THAT WE DEFINE
SUCCESS BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF
MONEY THAT IS SPENT. AND THAT IS
NOT HOW CALIFORNIANS TO FIND
SUCCESS. THEY WANT TO SEE
MEASURABLE. AND TANGIBLE RESULTS
. AND WHEN YOU ASK ANY
CALIFORNIAN RIGHT NOW, THEY
BELIEVE THAT CALIFORNIA IS GOING
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. AND I
HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID ON THIS
FLOOR THAT THE ONLY PREDICTOR OF
FUTURE BEHAVIOR IS PAST BEHAVIOR
AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET
AND THE BUDGET PROCESS THAT IS
VERY APPARENT. WE ARE VOTING ON
A RUSHED AND INCOMPLETE $300
BILLION BUDGET, WITH LITTLE
INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC AND LITTLE
TRANSPARENCY. MAKE NO SICK. NO.
MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT IN TWO
DAYS. THE STATE'S GAS TAX IN
CALIFORNIA IS GOING UP. MANY
CALIFORNIANS WHOSE FAMILY
BUDGETS HAVE BEEN CRUSHED BY
RISING BY RISING GAS PRICES WILL
BE IN SHOCK AND IN DISBELIEF AND
THEY WILL RIGHTFULLY BE UPSET.
THE GOVERNOR. AND THIS
LEGISLATURE COULD HAVE SUSPENDED
THE STATE'S GAS TAX AND STOP
THIS. BUT BY CHOICE. BY CHOICE,
THE RULING PARTY IN THIS BODY
CHOSE NOT TO DO SO. THE RESULTS
WILL BE MORE RISING COSTS ON
PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING. WITH GAS
PRICES HOVERING AROUND $6.50 PER
GALLON, WE NEED A STABLE AND
AFFORDABLE ENERGY ENERGY SUPPLY.
A GOAL THAT THIS BUDGET FAILS TO
ADDRESS. POLICIES COMING FROM
THIS ADMINISTRATION IS STIFLING
DOMESTIC PRODUCTION AND
INCREASING OUR DEPENDENCE ON
FOREIGN OIL. AND NOW WITH OIL
SUPPLY UNCERTAINTIES IN ECUADOR
WHAT HAPPENS TO GAS PRICES IF
THERE IS A 25% SHORTAGE AND NO
REFINERY CAPACITY? AND WHAT DO
YOU THINK HAPPENS WHEN STATE
GOVERNMENT IMPOSES MORE TAXES,
FEES AND MANDATES ON GASOLINE
SUPPLY AND PRODUCTION? HOPEFULLY
I HAVE SAVED THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON GAS PRICES AND
SUPPLIES SOMETIME EXPLAINING WHY
GAS PRICES ARE HIGHER IN
CALIFORNIA THAN THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY. ON TOP OF THE GROWING
TAX BURDEN. INFLATION IS A
HIDDEN TAX ON EVERY CALIFORNIAN.
AND EVEN MORE. LET'S CALL IT THE
CALIFORNIA WAY TAX. WHERE ILL
CONCEIVED POLICIES AND MANDATES
BEING IMPOSED BY THIS
ADMINISTRATION HAVE INCREASED
THE COST OF HOUSING. GROCERIES
FOOD, ELECTRICITY, GASOLINE AND
THE EVERYDAY NECESSITIES OF
CALIFORNIANS AND WHAT IS BEING
OFFERED IN THE FACE OF THIS
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS, CAUSING
CALIFORNIANS TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS. $200. TOURS $250 300
DOLLARS CHECKS. PENNIES FOR
EVERY DOLLAR CALIFORNIANS SEND
TO SACRAMENTO. BUT NO PERMANENT
OR ONGOING TAX RELIEF IS
PRESENTED HERE IN THIS FRAMEWORK
, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT I AND
MY ASSEMBLY REPUBLICAN
COLLEAGUES HAVE CALLED FOR.
CALIFORNIANS ARE HURTING NOW.
WAITING FOR MONTHS UNTIL OCTOBER
FOR A TINY FRACTION OF RELIEF IS
CERTAINLY NOT IMMEDIATE. WE KNOW
THE GOVERNOR HASN'T BEEN AT THE
NEGOTIATING TABLE UNTIL THE LAST
MINUTE. THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE
ON THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TWO
DAYS BEFORE THE END OF THE
FISCAL YEAR, SO VOTE ON ANOTHER
FRAMEWORK, A SECOND FRAMEWORK
THAT IS RUSHED. THAT IS
INCOMPLETE. AND THAT'S
QUESTIONABLE PRIORITIES. EVEN IN
THIS SECOND VERSION. THERE IS
STILL NO ADDITIONAL WATER
STORAGE BONE DRY DROUGHT
CONDITIONS ARE CRIPPLING THIS
STATE AND OUR FOOD PRODUCTION.
IN THIS FRAMEWORK. THERE ARE
STILL NO DETAILS ON WILDFIRE
PREVENTION OR STREAMLINING
WILDFIRE VEGETATION PROJECTS. AS
YOUR BRACE FOR ANOTHER INTENSE
WILDFIRE SEASON. I DON'T SEE HOW
THAT'S POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN
IGNORE THIS PROBLEM. THERE'S A
SMALL PROMISE TO PAY DOWN THE
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE THAT WITH
FUNDING IN THE FUTURE. FUNDING
THAT MAY NOT MATERIALIZE BECAUSE
OF THE LOOMING RECESSION. WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN FOR STRUGGLING
SMALL BUSINESSES? THAT MEANS
HIGHER TAXES IN THE FUTURE. YET
THERE ARE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FOR A WASTEFUL AND MISMANAGED
CALIFORNIA HIGH SPEED RAIL
SYSTEM THAT IS IN HIGH SPEED.
AND HAS PLAYED WITH FAILURES IN
STRUCTURAL FLAWS AND EVEN WORSE.
IN THIS FRAMEWORK. THIS
FRAMEWORK REFUSES THE FUND MORE
HIGHWAY CAPACITY BUT ACTUALLY
REDUCES THE AMOUNT OF ROAD
CAPACITY IN CALIFORNIA. MEMBERS.
NO DOUBT. THERE ARE SOME
INVESTMENTS IN THIS BUDGET
FRAMEWORK THAT ARE NEEDED, BUT
CALIFORNIANS ARE GROWING WEARY
AS THEY SEE THEIR STATE HEADED
IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. STATE
GOVERNMENT IS GROWING. AND
THEY'RE TAKING MORE MONEY FROM
RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES. WHILE
CALIFORNIANS ARE GETTING POORER.
pRESIDENTS IN CALIFORNIA CONTINUE
TO PAY MORE AND GET LESS. THAT
CANNOT BE DISPUTED IN THIS BODY.
CALIFORNIANS ARE DEMANDING MORE
OVERSIGHT AND TRANSPARENCY. BUT
UNFORTUNATELY, SACRAMENTO
CONTINUES TO OPERATE IN SECRET
AND THIS BUDGET PROCESS THAT'S
COMPLETELY BROKEN PROVES THAT
SOME WILL SIMPLY TELL THE
AMOUNTS OF MONEY THAT THAT WILL
BE SPENT. WELL, THE REALITY IS
THAT CRISIS WILL GROW WORSE
BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF OVERSIGHT
AND THE UNSUSTAINABILITY OF THIS
FRAMEWORK. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON
THE BASICS AND ACHIEVE
MEASURABLE RESULTS. AND SO THAT
IS WHY THIS FRAMEWORK WELL, IT
MAY SOUND GOOD ON THE SURFACE.
WE HAVE THE PULL BACK THE
CURTAIN AND LOOK AT THE DETAILS.
WE CANNOT GOVERN AND BUDGET IN
THIS STATE BY PRESS RELEASE. THE
GOVERNOR IS VERY GOOD AT MAKING
HEADLINES. BUT LOOK AT THE
SPECIFICS. LOOK AT THE FRAMEWORK
THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT
EXAMINING RIGHT NOW, AND YOU'LL
SEE THAT THERE'S MORE UNDERNEATH
THAT. CALIFORNIANS WILL NOT LIKE
SO UNFORTUNATELY, MEMBERS I
CANNOT SUPPORT THIS FRAMEWORK.
BUT ON THIS BILL. SB 1, 30, THE
EMPLOYEES AND THESE BARGAINING,
IT'S DO YOU FIGHT EVERY DAY TO
KEEP US SAFE, AND THEY HAVE
ENDURED UNIMAGINABLE CHALLENGES
FROM RISING CRIME TO BATTLING
FIERCE WILDFIRES. AND THEY
CERTAINLY DESERVE OUR
RECOGNITION. SO ON THIS BILL, I
DO ENCOURAGE AND I VOTE. THANK
YOU, MR FONG. DR QUIRKE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, SPEAKER.
THE IDEA. THAT. GETTING RID OF
THE GAS TAX WILL LOWER PRICES.
IS ON ITS FACE FALSE THE PRICE
OF REFINING HASN'T GONE UP. THE
PRICE OF DRILLING OIL HASN'T GOT
UP. THE PRICE IS DETERMINED BY
SUPPLY AND DEMAND. IN
DISCUSSIONS WITH THE OUTSTANDING
UM, ECONOMY ENERGY ECONOMIST
FROM UC BERKELEY. WE HEARD. DAY
ONE. YOU REDUCE IT. PRICE
DOESN'T CHANGE. NOW, PERHAPS AS
THE REFINERS MAKE MORE AND MORE
MONEY. THEY CAN IMPORT GAS FROM
OTHER PLACES. UM, BUT. STAND
HASN'T HAPPENED AS THE PRICE OF
GAS IS NEARLY DOUBLED. UM. IF WE
WERE TO STOP THE GAS TAX NOW IT
WOULD NOT HELP THE CITIZENS IT
MIGHT AFTER A LONG PERIOD OF
TIME. WITH THE REFINERS MAKING
MORE MONEY THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO
YOU KNOW, START TO IMPORT GAS
FROM OTHER REGIONS, BUT THAT'S
WHAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, DOCTOR QUIRKE.

HOUSING PROJECTS THAT GET TURNED
DOWN BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF
WATER. AND I KNOW WE DON'T HAVE
A WATER BUDGET TRAILER BILL YET
THAT WE WILL BE WORKING ON THIS
OVER THE SUMMER. BUT AS WE DO
THIS, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE ADDING MORE WATER. INTO
OUR INFRASTRUCTURE BECAUSE WE DO
HAVE HOSING PROJECTS THAT ARE
BEING TURNED DOWN. WE HAVE
COMMUNITIES IN THE SAN JOAQUIN
VALLEY THAT ARE TURNING INTO
GHOST TOWNS WHERE PEOPLE NO
LONGER HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE WATER.
SO I'M TAKING THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO REMIND US IS THIS COMES
BEFORE US OVER THE SUMMER. THAT
IF WE TRULY WANT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT HOUSING LIKE WE'RE DOING

LOOK AT ALL ELEMENTS AND MAKE

SACRAMENTO DRIVERS AND I'VE SEEN
IT FIRSTHAND. DRIVERS ARE
RIGHTFULLY FRUSTRATED THAT THEY
AREN'T SEEING RESULTS FROM THE
GAS TAX DOLLARS ACROSS THE
STREET. ON THE FRONT OF THE
CALTRANS BUILDING ARE IMAGES OF
HIGHWAYS AND WATER RESOURCES
THAT THEY'VE BUILT. THOSE IMAGES
ARE ONLY RELICS NOW. WE HOPE
THAT AT SOME POINT, CALTRANS
WILL BUILD MORE HIGHWAYS AND
MORE WATER INFRASTRUCTURE, AND
HOPEFULLY THIS LEGISLATURE WILL
ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN. INSTEAD
THIS BILL WOULD ELIMINATE
HIGHWAYS MEMBERS, WE ARE GOING
BACKWARDS. UNDER THIS BILL STATE
HIGHWAYS PAID FOR WITH FUEL AND
VEHICLE TAX REVENUES WOULD BE
DECOMMISSIONED. AND POSSIBLY
CONGESTION WOULD GET WORSE.
CALIFORNIA DRIVER'S NEEDS SAFER
AND REPAIRED HIGHWAYS, LESS
ROADS AND MORE RAIL WILL NOT
SOLVE THEIR PROBLEMS. MY
CRITIQUE AS WELL OF THE HIGHWAY
OF CALIFORNIA HIGH SPEED RAIL IS
WELL KNOWN. AND THE PROJECT IS
WELL BEYOND THE HELP OF AN
INSPECTOR GENERAL. WE HAVE SEEN
EVIDENCE. TIME AND TIME AGAIN OF

HAVE THEIR HANDS FULL AS THIS
PROJECT, UNFORTUNATELY,
CONTINUES. $4.2 BILLION MEMBERS.

BILL 1 25. CLERK READ. SENATE
BILL 1 25 BY THE COMMITTEE ON
BUDGETS AND FISCAL REVIEW AND
ACCURATE INTO PUBLIC RESOURCES
AND MAKING THEM PROHIBITION,
THEREFORE, TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY, BILL RELATED TO THE
BUDGET. MR TING. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. SENATE BILL 1 25
CREATES A TAX ON LITHIUM
EXTRACTION IN CALIFORNIA, WHICH
VARIES FROM $400 TO $800 PER
METRIC TON, BASED ON VOLUME.
WALLET PROHIBITS A LADY LOCAL
LITHIUM EXTRACTION TAXES. THIS
BILL DIRECTS 80% OF THE REVENUE
TO THE COUNTY, WHERE EXTRACTION
OCCURRED AND THEN 20% TO
SOLVENCY RESTORATION. IT ALSO
APPROPRIATES $5 MILLION TO
IMPERIAL COUNTY FOR GEOTHERMAL
AND LITHIUM EXTRACTION
ACTIVITIES AND REQUIRES THAT THE
DEPARTMENT OF TAX AND FEE
ADMINISTRATION STUDY THE
REPLACEMENT OF THIS VOLUME BASED
TAX WITH ONE BASED ON GROSS
RECEIPTS WITH THAT I RESPECT FOR
US FOR I VOTE ON SP 1 25. AND MR
FONG. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I
UNFORTUNATELY RISE IN OPPOSITION
TO SB 1 25 HAVE TREMENDOUS
RESPECT FROM MY COLLEAGUE AND
IMPERIAL COUNTY THIS NEW
TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS LITHIUM
DEVELOPMENT IS TRULY EXCITING
WITH THE POTENTIAL TO BRING
JOBS, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. IN
SALES AND PROPERTY REVENUE TO
ONE OF THE MOST DISADVANTAGED
REGIONS IN THE COUNTRY. IT IS A
WELCOME DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL
STRENGTHEN CALIFORNIA'S ENERGY
PRODUCTION AND MANUFACTURING
THIS PROPOSAL. CAUSE FOR A FLAT
TAX PER TON OF THAT PRODUCED.
THAT SEEMS TO BE A VERY RISKY
APPROACH, GIVEN THAT LITHIUM IS
AN INTERNATIONALLY COMPETITIVE
MARKET IF THE PRICE GOES DOWN
THE FLAT FEE COULD BECOME
PROHIBITIVELY HIGH AS A
PERCENTAGE OF OPERATING COSTS.
IF THE PRICE GOES UP, IT SEEMS
LIKE THE STATE AND LOCALS WOULD
BE LOSING OUT ADDITIONAL
BENEFITS. MORE DISCUSSION IS
NECESSARY ON USING A PERCENTAGE
OF GROSS RECEIPTS. UM I URGE A
NO VOTE. AND MR GARCIA, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED AS YOUR DESK. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES.
CALIFORNIA IS THE LEADING NATION
IS LEADING THE NATION IN THE
TRANSITION TO CLEAN ENERGY,
ECONOMY AND CLIMATE JUSTICE. THE
STATE IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF
POLICY TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS IN
RENEWABLE ENERGY, TRANSPORTATION
, ELECTRIFICATION AND
PRIORITIZING BENEFITS TO
CALIFORNIA'S DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AND WORKERS. I SHARE
WITH YOU THAT THIS WORK HAS BEEN
ONGOING FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS
WORKING WITH INDUSTRY COMMUNITY
LABOR. HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS YOU NAME AND MANY
OF YOU HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE
LITHIUM VALLEY SELECT COMMITTEE
HEARINGS TO DEVELOP WHAT IS A
FRAMEWORK ON HOW TO GET THIS
INDUSTRY OFF THE GROUND. AND BE
NOT JUST THE LEADER IN THE
NATION, BUT IN THE WORLD AS IT
RELATES TO OUR COUNTRY'S DESIRED
TO BECOME INDEPENDENT FROM
FOREIGN NATIONS AND OUR
OBLIGATION THAT WE HAVE TO THEM
AND DEPENDENCY. FOR PURPOSES OF
LITHIUM PROCESSING, RECOVERY,
MANUFACTURING AND ULTIMATELY, TO
HELP US LEAD THIS TRANSITION OF
TRANSPORTATION ELECTRIFICATION.
BUT THIS GOES BEYOND WHAT IT
DOES FOR THE NATION. I WANT YOU
TO KEEP IN MIND WHAT THIS DOES
FOR A REGION OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THAT HAS HISTORICALLY
SUFFERED WITH CHRONOLOGICAL
CHRONICLE. UNEMPLOYMENT UP TO
30. WHEN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
I SEE SOME OF THE BEST ECONOMIC
TIMES. THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY.
TO PUT PEOPLE FIRST OVER
INDUSTRY. AND WHAT I MEAN BY
THAT IS THAT I'VE HEARD A LOT OF
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS FROM SOME
OF YOU ASKING ME. INDUSTRY IS
TELLING ME THAT AND THEN YOU
HAVE. WHY ARE WE DOING IT THIS
WAY, AND NOT THAT WAY. AND I'VE
ANSWERED THOSE QUESTIONS AND
I'LL GO AHEAD AND REPEAT SOME OF
THE RESPONSES. WHY DEVELOPING
ATTACKS THAT IS FAIR THAT'S
FIXED WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO OUR
COUNTY TO THE STATE AND TO THE
INVESTORS. HE FIXED COST IS
APPROPRIATE JUST SO THAT IT CAN
BE FACTORED INTO CONTRACTS AS A
FEE THAT IS KNOWN TO BE ABLE TO
DO BUSINESS WITH BUYERS AND
MANUFACTURERS FOR MORE CERTAINTY
IT FIXED COSTS. VERSUS A
PERCENTAGE PROVIDES AUDIT
CERTAINTY RATHER THAN THAT.
COULD BE A VARIABLE THAT CHANGES
DAY BY DAY. A PERCENTAGE TAX MAY
BE FRAUGHT WITH POTENTIAL FRAUD
. THE DEFINITION WOULD BE HARD
TO PIN. PERCENTAGE OF WHAT IS
REALLY WHAT WE ASK. IT MAY
INCLUDE INSIDER SALES CONTRACTS
REDUCED THE PRICE MARKET TIMING
TO REDUCE TAX AT LOW POINTS
STRAIGHT PRODUCTION FEE MEANS
TAXES DO WHEN YOU EXTRACT THIS
MINERAL FROM THE GROUND
ADMINISTERING A PERCENTAGE TAX
WOULD NOT BE COST EFFECTIVE TO
THE STATE AS THE AUDIT FUNCTION
WOULD BE COSTLY. AND MAY NOT BE
ACCURATE. FURTHER EVERYTHING
THAT WE DO HERE WHETHER IT BE
OIL OR CAR TOBACCO IS BASED AND
ASSESSED ON VOLUME. SO WE'RE
USING THE SAME FRAMEWORK CENTER
IN PLACE TO DO THIS. WHAT? I
WOULD HOPE FOLKS WOULD ASK ME.
WOULD BE EDUARDO EDDIE. CHUBBY
GUY. HOW IS THIS GOING TO HELP?
IMPERIAL COUNTY? WHAT IS THIS
GOING TO DO FOR THE PEOPLE OF
THE REGION? THAT HAVE
HISTORICALLY BEEN IMPACTED BY
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ISSUES.
WHAT IS IT GOING TO DO BEYOND
CREATING JOBS? WELL, THE PEOPLE
OF IMPERIAL COUNTY HAVE SAID.
THAT. IF WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW
LITHIUM RECOVERY TO TAKE PLACE
IN OUR BACKYARD. THAT THE PEOPLE
OF IMPERIAL COUNTY HAS TO BE THE
DIRECT BENEFICIARIES OF THIS
PROCESS. AND THAT NO LONGER WILL
WE ALLOW INDUSTRY TO COME IN
MAKE PROMISES RECEIVED HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS
RECEIVED. HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS OF FEDERAL AND STATE
GRANTS AND COME TO TOWN AND SAY
THEY'RE GOING TO DEVELOP MORE
JOBS THAN WE'VE EVER SEEN
BEFORE. AND AT THE END OF THE
DAY, REMAIN AT THE HIGHEST
PERCENTAGE OF UNEMPLOYMENT. SOME
OF THE WORST ENVIRONMENTAL
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AND SO HERE WE HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFORM
THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES NOT ONLY
LEADING THE NATION BUT IN THE
WORLD AS IT RELATES TO CLIMATE.
AND AS IT RELATES TO THE
ELECTRIFICATION OF OUR
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM. MEMBERS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
180,000 PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN
IMPERIAL COUNTY. AND THAT WE
HONOR AND RESPECT THE WISHES OF
MEMBERS FROM LABOR,
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES. COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS. INDUSTRY. WHO
ALSO IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS FEE,
NOT EVERYBODY IN THE INDUSTRY AS
OPPOSED TO IT. AND THAT YOU ALSO
RESPECT THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND
TIME THAT'S GONE INTO THIS. FOR
THE BETTERMENT OF THIS REGION
AND FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
RIVAL. THANK YOU, MR GARCIA. MR.
COOLEY, YOUR RECOGNITION
COLLEAGUES. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE COUPLE OF MEASURES
ON THIS FLOOR THAT I JUST RELATE
TO IN TERMS OF MY OWN PERSONAL
LIFE. I REMEMBER THE SEVENTIES
AND EIGHTIES. YOU KNOW THE SALT
AND SEA WAS DEVELOPED AS A
TOURIST HAVEN IN THE FIFTIES AND
SIXTIES, THEY STARTED BUILDING
OUT THERE USING A LOT OF WATER
BY THE 19 SEVENTIES, THEY
STARTED TO RAISE THE ALARM THAT
THE WATER SUPPLY WAS BEING
DIMINISHED. IT WAS GOING TO
JEOPARDIZE THAT WHOLE REGION.
THEY NEEDED TO GRAPPLE WITH IT.
THERE WERE FISH KILLS. BIRD
SPECIES WERE NO LONGER COMING
THROUGH. IT WAS A GRAVE CRISIS.
SO THIS RINGS TRUE THAT THERE
HAVE BEEN EFFORTS UNDERTAKEN
THAT DIDN'T DELIVER WELL BEING
TO THE PEOPLE OF IMPERIAL
COUNTY. AND THE SALT AND SEA.
THIS VERY UNIQUE RESOURCE TIED
IN WITH THE HYDROLOGY OF THE
COLORADO RIVER. SO I JUST WANT
TO SAY, I THINK THAT, UH YOU
KNOW INSANITY IS KEEPING TO DO
THE SAME THING. TIME AND TIME
AGAIN WITHOUT ADJUSTING YOUR
GAME PLAN. I THINK HERE THEY ARE
LOOKING AT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
OUR ECONOMY. THE TECH SECTOR. UH
BENJAMIN DISRAELI, THE GREAT
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER ONCE SAID
TO BE A LEADER, YOU GOT TO WATCH
EVENTS. SO I SEE THIS BILL AS AN
EFFORT TO LOOK AT WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY.
TRY TO DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE
, TRYING TO NOT DO THE SAME
THING OVER AND OVER. AND IT IS
TRUE. THAT THIS IS A LONG
FESTERING ISSUE. AND SO I RISE
TO SUPPORT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, MR COOLEY. SEEING NO

AND THE CLERK WILL READ.
ASSEMBLY BILL 1 80 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S EATING AND
ACTUALLY INTO THE STATE BUDGET,
MAKING THE PUBLISHING EFFORT TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY. BUDGET
BILL MR TING. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. THIS IS ONE OF OUR TWO
BUDGET BILL JUNIOR'S, WHICH
AMONG THE BUDGET ACT THIS ONE
AMENDS ARE 2021 BUDGET ACT, UH
ARE 47 BILLION INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE IS SPREAD OUT OVER A
NUMBER OF YEARS, INCLUDING THIS
YEAR. THIS ALSO THIS BILL ALSO
INCLUDES $4 BILLION OF GENERAL
FUND APPROPRIATIONS THAT ARE
INTENDED TO GET THE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS MOVING
FORWARD. AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE%
. THE BILL ALSO TRANSFERS
FUNDING INTO THE CALIFORNIA
EMERGENCY FUND FOR CURRENT YEAR
COSTS RELATED TO THE ONGOING
PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY WITH
THAT OF RESPECT FOR US RIVAL
THANK YOU, MR AND MR FONG. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO YET ANOTHER
BUDGET BILL. JUNIOR VERSION
NUMBER SEVEN. FOR THE SEVENTH
TIME WE HAVE TO AMEND LAST
YEAR'S BUDGET, THIS VERSION THAT
WAS STILL NO BETTER. IT
CONTINUES ON THE PATH AND MISSED
OPPORTUNITIES AND FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY. AGAIN IT SOUNDS
LIKE A BROKEN RECORD. BUT AGAIN
, THIS IS A REMINDER OF HOW THE
LEGISLATURE IS NOT FOCUSING ON
THE KEY CRISES THAT CALIFORNIA
IS CURRENTLY FACING. THIS
ADMINISTRATION TELLS AN ALL
HANDS ON DECK WHEN IT COMES TO
THE DROUGHT, ALL HANDS ON DECK
EXCEPT FOR WATER STORAGE. AND SO
WE NEEDED WATER STORAGE. THIS
YEAR LAST YEAR A DECADE AGO, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THIS
LEGISLATURE CONTINUES TO RESIST
. THIS BILL ALSO ENDORSES
APPROPRIATING ALL THE REMAINING
PROP. ONE A BONDS. FOR HIGH
SPEED RAIL AGAIN. MY CRITICISM
OF HIGH SPEED RAIL IS VERY WELL
KNOWN, BUT IT IS PROBABLY A
BETTER INVESTMENT TO TAKE $4.2
BILLION THAT WOULD HAVE GOT THAT
THERE IS GOING TO HIGH SPEED
RAIL. IN PUTTING THAT INTO WATER
STORAGE SCIENCE RESERVOIR IS
READY TO GO, BUT IT'S STUCK IN A
REGULATORY VORTEX. THE GOVERNOR
CAN FIX THIS WITH A STROKE OF
HIS PEN. HIGH SPEED RAIL IS ON
LIFE SUPPORT. THIS MEASURE
WRITES A HUGE $4.3 BILLION CHECK
WITH NO STRINGS ATTACHED
MEMBERS. WE HAVE SEEN THE
EVIDENCE. WE'VE SEEN THE FLAWED
BUSINESS PLANS, AND APPARENTLY,
THIS LEGISLATURE IS NOT SERIOUS
WHEN IT COMES TO OVERSIGHT OF
HIGH SPEED, RAIL AND ENERGY
CRISIS. THIS BILL ALSO EXEMPTS
THE ENERGY ENERGY COMMISSION. IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES FROM CRITICAL
TRANSPARENCY, STATUTES AND
REGULATIONS AND WHAT THE FUNDING
BE ENOUGH TO AVOID BLACKOUTS
THIS SUMMER. WILL OUR LIGHTS
TURN ON WHEN WE FLIP THE SWITCH?
DON'T KNOW IN THIS. THIS
FRAMEWORK DOES NOT ADDRESS THAT
THE STATE'S RESPONSE TO
ENCOURAGE MORE ENERGY PRODUCTION
NEEDS PUBLIC INPUT, OVERSIGHT
AND REVIEW TO MAKE CALIFORNIANS
TO MAKE SURE CALIFORNIANS NEEDS
ARE MET. I URGE A NO VOTE. THANK
YOU, MR FONG, SEEING NO OTHER

GREATEST NEEDS THEY HAVE AT

FONG. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I
RISE IN OPPOSITION TO SB 1 89.
WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT'S HIDDEN
IN THIS BUDGET TRAILER BILL
GOVERNMENT IS GROWING IS GROWING
TOO LARGE. THE STATE
APPROPRIATIONS LIMIT IS A
CRITICAL CHECK ON HOW MUCH THE
STATE CAN GROW AND SPEND AND
GIMMICKS IN THIS BILL PUT THE
STATE ON AN INCREASINGLY
UNSUSTAINABLE PATH. THIS BILL
WILL ALSO EXEMPT STATE AGENCIES
FROM THE BACK LEAGUE KEENE ACT,
FURTHER REMOVING THEM. FROM THE
PUBLIC EYE. WE NEED MORE
TRANSPARENCY IN GOVERNMENT, NOT
LESS. WE HAVE ALL LAMENTED THIS
WEEK ABOUT HOW FAST AND RUSHED
THIS BUDGET PROCESS HAS OCCURRED
IN HOW SO MANY DECISIONS.
HAPPENED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
THIS BILL EXEMPTS STATE AGENCIES
FROM TRANSPARENCY. ECONOMIC
UNCERTAINTY IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF
US AS WELL. AND IF THE STATE
COMMITS OVER, COMMITS TO OVER
SPINNING AND REDUCING
TRANSPARENCY, THEN WE WILL FACE
DIFFICULT DECISIONS IN THE
FUTURE. ALL SIGNS POINT TO AN
ECONOMIC DOWNTURN. RECORD HIGH
INFLATION RAISED INTEREST RATES
INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT. NOW IS
THE TIME FOR FISCAL RESTRAINT
AND TRANSPARENCY. I URGE IN
NOVO. SEE NO OTHER MEMBERS
SEEKING RECOGNITION. CLARK OPEN

THE BOAT IS 57 NO 17. WITHOUT

B 1 83 WITHOUT REFERENCE TO FILE
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONCURRENCE
AND SENATE AMENDMENTS AND THE
CORPORAL REED ASSEMBLY BILL 1 83
BY THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND
ACTIVATING THE POST SECONDARY
EDUCATION AND MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION, THEREFORE TAKE
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY RELATE TO THE
BUDGET. MR. TAKE THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. THIS IS A B 1 83, OR
HIGHER EDUCATION TRAILER BUILD.
THIS BILL CONTINUES TO EXTEND
OUR COMMITMENT TO THE CALIFORNIA
DREAM. IT USED TO BE THAT YOU
COULD HAVE A GREAT CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC EDUCATION IF YOU STUDIED
HARD ENOUGH. THERE WAS A SLOT
FOR YOU. SOMEWHERE IN OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE C SUS OR
OUR UCS. BUT FOR MANY YOUNG
PEOPLE, THAT DREAM HAS BEEN
HARDER AND HARDER TO OBTAIN
BECAUSE OF MUCH OF THE POLICIES
THAT THIS BODY HAS BEEN
ADVOCATED FORWARD TO ENSURE THAT
MORE CALIFORNIANS HAVE ACCESS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION, ESPECIALLY AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
THIS BILL CONTINUES THAT WHAT WE
KNOW IS ACCESS IS ONLY THE VERY
FIRST STEP. YOU CAN'T HAVE TRUE
ACCESS UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD
THAT COLLEGE EDUCATION AND
THANKS TO OUR COLLEAGUE FROM
RIVERSIDE ARE SUB TO CHAIR FROM
SACRAMENTO. THEY'VE BEEN REALLY
CHAMPION CAL GRANTS. THIS WILL
PROVIDE CAL GRANTS TO 150,000
MORE STUDENTS, REAL FAMILIES,
REAL STUDENTS REAL
OPPORTUNITIES. IT ALSO APPROVES
25 UNIVERSITY HOUSING PROJECTS.
AT UC CSU, OUR COMMUNITY-COLLEGES. WE TALKED ABOUT IT
EARLIER. WE HAVE A HUGE
PROPORTION OF OUR STUDENTS WHO
ARE GOING TO COLLEGE WHERE
HOMELESS LIVING IN THEIR CARS
LIVING ON COUCHES. THESE HOUSING
PROJECTS WILL GO A LONG WAY TO
GETTING THOSE STUDENTS, HOUSING
AND HOUSING. IT ALSO INCREASES
SUPPORT FOR THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT
SUCCESS AND COMPLETION GRANT.
WHICH PROVIDES UP TO $3000 PER
YEAR TO HELP COVER HOUSING, FOOD
AND BOOK COSTS. IT ALSO INCLUDES
NUMEROUS INVESTMENTS IN THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS

WITHOUT REFERENCE TO FILE FOR

SENATE AMENDMENTS CLERICAL RATE.
ASSEMBLY BILL 1 86 BY THE
COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND
ACTIVATING THE PUBLIC HEALTH
MAKING AN APPROPRIATION,
THEREFORE, TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY BE RELATED TO THE
BUDGET. MR TING THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. MR SPEAKER. THIS IS A B 1
86 ARE SKILLED NURSING FACILITY
FINANCING REFORM TRAILER BILL.
IT'S A BILL THAT I BELIEVE IS A
GOOD START. BUT IN AN INDUSTRY
THAT STILL NEEDS A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF WORK. WE HEARD THE
DEVASTATION THAT HAPPENED AT OUR
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES WHEN
COVID FIRST HIT THE SHORE'S IN
THE UNITED STATES. MANY OF THE
FIRST DEATHS WERE IN OUR SKILLED
NURSING FACILITIES. THAT'S WHY
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES IN
THE REIMBURSEMENT RATE GOT AN
INCREASE. WELL THIS YEAR WE ARE
KEEPING THAT INCREASE FOR
ANOTHER YEAR AT 10. BUT MANY OF
THE REFORMS THAT HAVE REALLY
BEEN NEEDED TO ENSURE THAT THE
SENIORS WHO ARE IN THESE
FACILITIES ARE GETTING THE
ADEQUATE CARE THAT THEY DESERVE.
AREN'T THERE YET? SO THIS IS A
BILL THAT IS STILL WHAT I WOULD
CALL A WORK IN PROGRESS. IT'S A
GOOD FIRST STEP. WE'VE GOT A
LONG WAY TO GO. THE WORKERS WHO
ARE ALSO ON THE FRONT LINES OF
THESE NURSING NURSING HOMES.
THESE SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES
ALSO REALLY NEED TO ENSURE THAT
THAT INCREASE GOES INTO THEIR
POCKET. MOST OF THESE FOLKS AS
WE HEARD DURING COVID, THEY MAKE
MINIMUM WAGE. THEY CAN'T SURVIVE
ON THAT ONE JOB. SO WHAT
HAPPENED? THEY WOULD WORK IN TWO
OR THREE DIFFERENT FACILITIES IN
HOPES OF JUST PUTTING FOOD ON
THE TABLE. BUT AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE, DURING COVID, WHAT
HAPPENED IS OF COURSE, BY THEM
DOING THAT THEY WERE HOPPING
AROUND ALL THE DIFFERENT
FACILITIES, HELPING
UNFORTUNATELY WITH THAT
TRANSMISSION, SO THE WORKERS
REALLY DESERVE OUR THANKS. WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
PROTECTIONS IN THAT INCREASE ARE
GOING INTO THEIR POCKET BOOKS.
THERE ARE PROTECTIONS IN HERE
THAT REALLY ELP ASSIST TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE WORKERS ARE BETTER
PAID BETTER SUPPORTED. I THINK
THAT'S A REALLY GOOD FIRST STEP.
BUT I REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH DHC S ON
THIS PARTICULAR INDUSTRY TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY ARE MOVING MUCH
FURTHER ALONG TO REFORM. TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR SENIORS GET THE
CARE THEY DESERVE WITH THAT. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON A B 1 86. MR FONG. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER. I REGRETFULLY RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO A B 1 86 AS THE
BUDGET CHAIR MENTIONED. THIS
BILL IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS POLICY
PROPOSALS CRACKING DOWN ON
SKILLED NURSING FACILITIES, AND
WE CAN RECOGNIZE EVERY
IMPROVEMENTS THAT NEED TO BE
MADE. BUT TO CONTINUE AND
INCREASE A FEE THAT WILL
PENALIZE AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY
COMMITTED TO SERVING VULNERABLE
CALIFORNIANS. THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE NEED TO REEVALUATE THE
NEW REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED ON
FACILITIES WILL NOT GUARANTEE
CARE. WE'RE NOW GUARANTEE THAT
CARE WILL IMPROVE, AND I CANNOT
SUPPORT THIS BILL. TODAY. I URGE
A NO VOTE. SEEING NO ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION. ON THE ITEM. CLERK
OF THE ROLE, ALL MEMBERS FOCUSED
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL MEMBERS

FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONCURRENCE
IN SENATE AMENDMENTS, AND THE
CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY BILL 1
94 BY THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET
RELATING TO TAXATION AND MAKING
APPROPRIATION AND FORWARD TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BE
RELATED TO THE BUDGET. MR TANG.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE. 94 IS OUR
REVENUE AND TAXATION TRAILER
BILL. THIS PAUSES THE DIESEL TAX
FOR ONE YEAR BEGINNING IN
OCTOBER OF 2022 EXTENDS THE
CALIFORNIA COMPETES TAX CREDITS
FOR FIVE MORE YEARS BUT LIMITS
THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF THE
CREDIT TO $180 MILLION. CONFORMS
FEDERAL LAW BY EXCLUDING FROM
GROSS INCOME, ANY COVERED LOAN
AMOUNTS FOR GIVEN PURSUANT TO
THE P P E EXTENSION ACT OF 2021
. IT ALSO IMPROVES. THE CAL
COMPETES TAX CREDIT FOR BUSINESS
EXPANSION BY AWARDING TAX
CREDITS TO BUSINESSES. THAT MOVE
FROM STATES THAT DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST LGBTQ PEOPLE AND
ABORTION RIGHTS. IT ALSO
PROHIBITS THE CONTROLLER FROM
OFFSETTING DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS
FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO RECEIVED
THE E I T C OR YOUNG CHILD TAX
CREDIT BEGINNING IN 2024.
RESPECT FOR US RIVAL AND MR
FONG. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF, UH BABY 1 94
, CALIFORNIA'S TAX SYSTEM NEEDS
TO BE GIVEN A HARD LOOK TO FIND
REFORMS. THIS BILL MAKES SEVERAL
IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS AND
PROVISIONS. INCLUDING PENALTY
RELIEF TAX EXEMPTIONS ON FEDERAL
GRANTS AND A SUSPENSION OF THE
STATE SALES TAX ON DIESEL FUEL.
BUT MEMBERS THIS BILL PER
PRESENTS THE MOST NOTICEABLE
IRONY. THE GOVERNOR SUSPENDS THE
SALES TAX ON DIESEL. AND BACK,
FILLS IT WITH THE GENERAL FUND
SURPLUS. THIS ARGUMENT SOUNDS
VERY FAMILIAR. HOWEVER WHEN IT
COMES TO THE PRICE OF GASOLINE,
THERE IS APPARENTLY NOT THE SAME
AMOUNT OF CONCERN. BY THE NEW
ZEALAND MINISTRATIONS. I
CONTINUE TO ARGUE THAT THERE
SHOULD BE IMMEDIATE RELIEF AT
THE PUMP FOR GASOLINE AND DIESEL
DRIVERS. THESE ARE INCREMENTAL
IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS BILL, BUT I
HOPE MY COLLEAGUES WILL BE
CONSISTENT. AND PROVIDING
ONGOING GAS TAX RELIEF. I URGE
AND I VOTE. AND MS VALLADARES.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. EVERY ONE
OF US ON THIS FLOOR TONIGHT
REPRESENTS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF CONSTITUENTS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING WITH THE HIGH COST OF
GASOLINE. THEY PAY THE HIGHEST
GAS PRICE IN THE COUNTRY. ABOUT
$1.40 MORE THAN THE NATIONAL
AVERAGE. I'M A WORKING MOM WITH
LOTS OF WORKING MAMA FRIENDS AND
I HEAR THEIR FRUSTRATIONS EVERY
SINGLE DAY ABOUT THE PRICE OF
GAS EVERY SINGLE DAY. THEY'RE
STRUGGLING. IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY
WEEK I HEAR THEY HEAR ABOUT NEW
TIPS AND BLAKE YOUR TIRES ONLY
FILL UP AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE
DAY. ONLY FILL UP WHEN YOUR TANK
IS HALF FULL. BUT THE TIPS JUST
AREN'T ENOUGH. ALSO IN MY
DISTRICT, MY ALMA MATER,
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY,
NORTHRIDGE, GO MATADORS. IS
WHERE? 90 40 49% OF STUDENTS
COMMUTE. TO AND FROM C SON. ONE
STUDENT SAID THAT THERE'S
SOMETIMES SPENDING $200 A WEEK
ON GAS AND SOMETIMES SKIPS CLASS
BECAUSE HE CAN'T AFFORD TO GO.
YET ON FRIDAY, THE GAS TAX IS
GOING TO GO UP. BY $523 MILLION.
I INTRODUCED AMENDMENTS TO THE
THIS COMPANION BILL. AND WHILE
I'M SUPPORTING THIS BILL AT THIS
MOMENT, I'M SAD AND I'M SAD FOR
THE MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS
THAT NEED IMMEDIATE RELIEF AND
THAT ARE GOING TO NEED MORE
RELIEF ON FRIDAY. THIS BODY IS
ABOUT TO VOTE AND TO APPROVE
$9.5 BILLION IN REBATES TODAY
FOR THE FOR THE GAS PRICE
RELIEF. BUT WE'RE GOING TO TURN
AROUND ON FRIDAY AND RAISED
TAXES. WIPE IT ALL AWAY. HOW
MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD TO DIG
THROUGH CUSHIONS, DEFINED DIMES
AND QUARTERS AND PENNIES TO PAY
FOR SOMETHING? LIKE MANY PEOPLE
IN MY DISTRICT. WE NEED TO OFFER
EVERY PENNY OF RELIEF. THE
GOVERNOR HIMSELF RECOGNIZED THIS
AND IT HAS ORIGINAL BUDGET,
INCLUDING SUSPENDING THIS IS
INCREASE. WE DON'T DO THAT.
TODAY. WE'RE DOING SOMETHING.
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. SEE NO ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE ON THE ITEM

AMENDMENTS, AND THE CLERK WILL
READ. ASSEMBLY BILL 1 95 BY THE
COMMITTEE ON BUDGET RELATED TO
CANNABIS AND MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION, THEREFORE, TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY RELATE
TO THE BUDGET. MR. TAKE THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. THIS IS A B 1
95. IT'S OUR CANNABIS TAX REFORM
PACKAGE TRAILER BILL. THIS BILL
IS REALLY THE COMBINATIONS OF
YEARS OF EFFORT. YEARS OF
NEGOTIATION REALLY APPRECIATE
ALL THE HARD WORK THE
ADMINISTRATION AND THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE HAS REALLY PUT
INTO THIS TRAILER BILL. WE
OBVIOUSLY LEGALIZED CANNABIS
YEARS AGO. BUT WE ARE LONG WAYS
AWAY FROM HAVING A THRIVING
LEGAL CANNABIS INDUSTRY HERE IN
THIS STATE. THIS INDUSTRY,
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
PLAYING BY THE RULES HAVE BEEN
ASKING FOR HELP FOR YEARS AND
YEARS. THIS BILL THIS YEAR THEY
GET IT. THIS BILL SUSPENDS THE
STAKEHOLDER OVATION TAX. THIS
MAINTAINS THE EXCISE TAX AT 15%
AND ALSO MOVES THE COLLECTION OF
THAT ACCESS TAX FROM
DISTRIBUTORS TO POINT OF SALE.
IT PROVIDES ADDITIONAL TAX
RELIEF IN THE FORM OF TAX
CREDITS FOR HIGH ROAD CANNABIS
EMPLOYERS AS WELL AS TAX CREDITS
FOR CANNABIS EQUITY OPERATORS.
IT ALSO STRENGTHENS WORKER
PROTECTIONS. PROVIDES LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS WITH MORE
ENFORCEMENT TOOLS, INCLUDING THE
ABILITY TO PURSUE CIVIL
PENALTIES AGAINST COMMERCIAL
PROPERTIES THAT FACILITATE
UNLICENSED OPERATORS. AND CIVIL
PENALTIES RELATED TO WATER
POLLUTION. UNAUTHORIZED WATER
DIVERSION DUE TO UNLICENSED
CANNABIS CULTIVATION WITH THAT I
RESPECT FOR I VOTE ON A B 1 95.
AND MR FONG. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF A
B ONE IN 1 95. IT IS A
REMARKABLE DAY WHEN WE CAN
CONSIDER A BILL THAT ACTUALLY
DECREASES TAXES. AND I COMMEND
THE ASSEMBLY BUDGET COMMITTEE
FOR RECOGNIZING THIS NECESSARY
REFORM. THE CANNABIS MARKET HAS
BEEN IN LIMBO BETWEEN LICENSING
UNCERTAINTY TO CRIPPLING
TAXATION AND REGULARLY CHANGING
REGULATORY SCHEME AND THIS BILL
WILL IMPLEMENT INCREMENTAL AND
STABILIZING CHANGES CHANGES THAT
ARE CRITICAL TO COMBAT THE
ILLEGAL CANNABIS MARKET.
PROVIDING CERTAINTY TO PROGRAMS
THAT ARE FUNDED FROM PROP. 64 IS
ALSO CRITICAL IRON DRIVE OUT AND
MR LACKEY. YEAH THANK YOU. I
JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY
THAT I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THIS
KIND OF MEASURE WHO ALLOWS US TO
TAKE ON THIS ILLICIT MARKET THAT
IS RAPING THE LAND OF MY
DISTRICT. YOU HAVE TO SEE THE
AMOUNT OF ILLEGAL GROWS THAT WE
HAVE THAT ARE STEALING WATER.
THEY'RE POISONING THE LAND, AND
THIS WILL ALLOW THE LEGAL
MARKET. TO TAKE ONE STEP CLOSER
TO DEFEATING THOSE WHO DESERVE
TO BE DEFEATED. SO I THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN
THIS MEASURE. THANK YOU, MR
LAKI. SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS

MEMBERS. WE ARE GOING TO MOVE
BACK TO TAKE UP FILE OUT OF 1 15

1 84. AND THE CLERK WILL READ.
SENATE BILL 1 84 BY THE
COMMITTEE ON BUDGET AND FISCAL
REVIEW, AN ACCOLADE TO HEALTH
AND MAKING AN APPROPRIATION
THERE FORWARD TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY VERBALLY TO THE
BUDGET, MR TANG THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. THIS IS OUR HISTORIC
HEALTHCARE BILL. SB 1 84. IT
EXPANDS HEALTH FOR ALL EXPENSE.
MEDIC! AL TO EVERYONE.
REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION STATUS
SO BEFORE PEOPLE UNDER 25 PEOPLE
OVER 50 WERE INSURED. THIS
CLOSES THE FINAL GAP BETWEEN 26
TO 49, REGARDLESS OF THE STATION
IMMIGRATION STATUS AND ALSO
ESTABLISHES THE OFFICE OF HEALTH
CARE AFFORDABILITY, WHICH I KNOW
MY COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA ROSE HAS
BEEN FIGHTING FOR, UH, WELL OVER
A YEAR OR TWO ALSO EXPANDS THE
MEDICATION SYSTEMS TREATMENT
PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH
OPIOID DEPENDENCE. RESTORES
NEARLY ALL OF OUR A B 97 MEDICAL
PROVIDER RATE CUTS THAT WERE
ADOPTED IN 2011 AGAIN, 11 YEARS
LATER IMPLEMENTS ALSO THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED HEALTH CARE
WORKER. RETENTION PAYMENTS
WITHOUT RESPECT FOR YOURSELF. I
VOTE ON SB 1 84. FAMOUS TING MR
FONG. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER.
MEMBERS. I RISE AND REGRETFUL
OPPOSITION TO SB 1 84 MEMBERS.
THERE ARE THINGS IN THIS BUDGET
TRAILER BILL THAT THAT ARE
HELPFUL. IN TERMS OF THE IN
TERMS OF INCREASING
REIMBURSEMENT RATES AND
PROVIDING MORE RESOURCES TO
LOCAL HEALTH JURISDICTIONS, BUT
MEMBERS, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT
CONTENTIOUS PROVISIONS IN THIS
BILL. UM THE ISSUE OF ABORTION
IS CERTAINLY CONTENTIOUS. THAT
IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. MEMBERS
COME TO THIS ISSUE FROM DEEP
PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND
CONVICTIONS. IT IS MY FIRM
CONVICTION THAT WE MUST VALUE
THE SANCTITY OF LIFE TO HAVE OR
FORCE TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR
ABORTIONS, REGARDLESS OF STATE
RESIDENCY IS A POLICY THAT MANY
CALIFORNIANS HAVE SIGNIFICANT
CONCERNS WITH. CALIFORNIANS WHO
ARE OPPOSED TO ABORIONS SHOULD
NOT BE COMPELLED TO PAY FOR
ABORTIONS. ALL HUMAN LIFE IS
SACRED AND PRECIOUS IN MY MIND,
GIVING A VOICE TO OUR MOST
VULNERABLE IS A FUNDAMENTAL
CONVICTION. URGENT NOVO DR
ARAMBULA, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS TODAY I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF SB 1 84, A BILL WHICH FOCUSES
ON HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND
AFFORDABILITY. THE PANDEMIC HAS
HIT FRONTLINE AND ESSENTIAL
WORKERS, ESPECIALLY HARD,
INCLUDING MILLIONS OF
UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS TAKING
ON A DISPROPORTIONATE RISK OF
EXPOSURE. LAST YEAR, THE
LEGISLATURE EXPANDED FULL SCOPE
MEDICAL TO INCLUDE UNDOCUMENTED
SENIORS. SB 1 84 TAKES THE FINAL
STEP TO END THE EXCLUSION FOR
OUR UNDOCUMENTED INDIVIDUALS BY
ALLOWING UNDOCUMENTED ADULTS.
AGES 26 TO 49 TO ACCESS MEDICAL
BENEFITS. THIS IS THE BIGGEST
EXPANSION TO HEALTHCARE COVERAGE
IN THE NATION SINCE THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. SB 1 84
ALSO INCREASES THE AVENUES OF
HEALTHCARE BY DEVELOPING
CERTIFICATION PROCESSES FOR
COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, WHICH
MEET COMMUNITY WHERE THEY ARE AT
AND REDUCES BARRIERS TO CARE.
AND MORE THAN ACCESS TO CARE. SB
1 84 ADDRESSES HEALTHCARE COSTS
BY ESTABLISHING THE HEALTH CARE
AFFORDABILITY BOARD. WHICH IS
TASKED WITH IDENTIFYING COST
REDUCTION TARGETS IN SPENDING
BENCHMARKS AND WORKFORCE GOALS.
THE BOARD WLL WORK IN CONCERT
WITH OTHER AGENCIES TO MONITOR
AND ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT COST
REDUCTIONS IN OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEMS. I WANT TO THANK THE
GOVERNOR. THE ADMINISTRATION,
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
COUNTIES AND ADVOCATES AND, MOST
IMPORTANTLY, THE PUBLIC WHO HAVE
WORKED FOR OVER A DECADE TO
SECURE HEALTH FOR ALL I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
AND MS CARILLO. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS RISE AND
SUPER STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 1 84
AND DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK,
BUT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON
ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND HEROES PAY
SINCE LAST YEAR. AND I WANT TO
THANK ALL THE MEMBERS 36 MEMBERS
OF THE ASSEMBLY 10 MEMBERS OF
THE SENATE THAT SIGNED A LETTER
DATED AUGUST 25TH OF LAST YEAR
TO CREATE A HERO'S PAY PROGRAM,
AND WE ARE FINALLY GETTING
GETTING IT DONE THIS YEAR. SO
WHILE IT IS NOT THE FULL
COMPLETE PROGRAM THAT WE
ENVISION IT IS CERTAINLY A STEP
FORWARD TO RECOGNIZE FRONTLINE
AND ESSENTIAL WORKERS WHO AT
THAT TIME LAST YEAR THERE WERE
64,000 COVID DEATHS AND
CALIFORNIA ALONE. IT IS NOW AT
92,000 DEATHS OF COVID, AND WE
MUST NEVER FORGET. THE PEOPLE
THAT WERE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF
THE REST OF US WHILE WE WERE
ABLE TO QUARANTINE SAFELY AT
HOME, AND I WOULD SAY THAT THERE
IS STILL AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE
ABLE TO RECOGNIZE FARM WORKERS.
WHO NOT ONLY FED AMERICA AND FED
THE STATE, BUT DID SO AMID COVID
AND DID SO AMID CALIFORNIA
WILDFIRES, AND THERE'S AN
OPPORTUNITY THAT WE STILL GET TO
HAVE. SO I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF THIS RECOGNITION OF
HEROES PAY FOR OUR ESSENTIAL
WORKERS AND SB 1 84. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR CARILLO AND MR
COOLEY. COLLEAGUES I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. AND IT'S
JUST REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY ON
THIS FLOOR. ON A BILL OF SUCH
CONSEQUENCE TO SHARE A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT MYSELF. WHEN I LOOK AT
THIS BILL I LOOK BACK TWO
GENERATIONS. MY DAD WAS BORN IN
1919, MY MOM IN 1920. I GREW UP
IN A FAMILY OF FOUR BOYS. I
NEVER HAD A GRANDMOTHER. MY
DAD'S MOM. WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT
WITH HER SECOND SON. WENT INTO
THE HOSPITAL. AND NEVER RETURNED
. THE BOY WAS BORN. SHE DIED.
SHE WAS OF LIMITED MEANS THAT SO
MY DAD'S SIDE OF THE FAMILY MY
MOM WAS THE OLDEST OF FOUR
CHILDREN GROWING UP IN WESTERN
OKLAHOMA. IN THE 19 TWENTIES.
DESPERATELY POOR. HER MOM BECAME
PREGNANT. IN FEARING FOR THE
FAMILIES, WELL BEING, SHE WENT
AWAY. IN THE HOPE OF DEALING
WITH THAT. BECAUSE OF POVERTY.
AND SO WHEN I LOOK AT THIS BILL
IN PROVIDING RESOURCES TO
PEOPLE. THE ONE THING I KNOW.
JUST TWO GENERATIONS BACK. IS
THE DESPERATION IS DEADLY.
IGNORANCE IS DEADLY. INABILITY
TO UNDERSTAND OPTIONS IS DEADLY.
AND POVERTY IS DEADLY. THIS IS A
GREAT STEP FORWARD. LOT IN THIS
BILL, BUT I'M PLEASED TO RISE IN
SUPPORT. THANK YOU, MISS COOLEY.
SEE NO ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION ON
THE ITEM. CLERK LOVE THE ROLE.

VOTE ON THAT WAS VOTED DECIDED

TALLY. THE VOTE IS 54. KNOWS 18.
THAT MEASURE PASSES. WITHOUT

UP A B. 1 99. YES, SAYS. MAYBE 1
99 WITHOUT REFERENCE TO FILE.
FOR THE PURPOSE OF CONCURRENCE

CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY BILL 1
99 BY THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET
INACTIVATING. THE COURTS MAKING
APPROPRIATION, THEREFORE, TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY BE
RELATED TO THE BUDGET. MR TING.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. MAYBE 1
99 IS OUR COURTS TRAILER BILL.
FIRST IT REDUCES THE CIVIL
ASSESSMENT FEE FROM 300 TO $100
AND SHIFTS TO FEED REVENUE TO
THE GENERAL FUND. WE ALSO
PROVIDE SUFFICIENT BACKFILLED TO
THE COURTS TO MAKE UP THE
DIFFERENCE. THIS ALLOCATES ABOUT
$10 MILLION TO ELIMINATE BACK
DEBT FROM ANY OF THE MANY OF THE
POOREST CALIFORNIANS. THAT WE
KNOW. IT ALSO EXTENDS REMOTE
COURT HEARINGS UNTIL JANUARY.
1ST 2024 AND ALSO INCREASES THE
FEDERAL POVERTY THRESHOLD SO
MORE CALIFORNIANS WILL BE
ELIGIBLE FOR A CIVIL FILING FEE
WAIVER WITH THAT RESPECT FOR US
FOR I VOTE ON A B 1 99. AND MR
FONG. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER.
THAT PANDEMIC CERTAINLY FORCED
COURT PROCEEDINGS TO ADAPT AND
AS COURTS CONTINUE TO ADJUST
REMOTE HEARINGS ARE A SOLUTION
FOR COURTS, JUDICIAL PARTIES AND
COUNSEL. HOWEVER I HAVE STRONG
CONCERNS THAT THIS BILL WILL
WEAKEN THE EFFICACY OF OUR
COURTS. CIVIL PENALTIES ARE A
TOOL COURTS USED TO ENCOURAGE
DEFENDANTS TO PARTICIPATE AND
OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM. REWARDING
OFFENDERS WITH A FEW REDUCTION
IS A SIGNAL THAT SHOWING UP TO
COURT IS NOT IMPORTANT. I CANNOT
SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY. THANK
YOU, MR FONG, SAYING NO MEMBERS
SEEKING RECOGNITION. CIRCLE UP
THE ROLE. ALL MEMBERS FOLK. THE
DESIRE TO VOTE ALL OVER HIS
PHOTOS HIRED ABOUT. ALL MEMBERS.
PHOTO DESIRE TO VOTE.
CLARK. WELL.

COMMITTEE ON BUDGET NAPOLI IN
THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND MAKING AN

TO THE BUDGET. MR TAKE A B. 200
IS OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OMNIBUS
TRAILER BILL. THE BILL INCLUDES
PLANS TO TRANSFER THE REMAINING
YOUTH AFTER DJS CLOSURE AND
INCLUDES TECHNICAL CHANGES TO
THE SECURE TRACK. ESTABLISHES A
FINAL CLOSER DATE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA CONGRESSIONAL
CORRECTIONAL CENTER AND
RESTRICTS CERTAIN RIGHTS OF
ACTION UNDER PENAL CODE TWO OH
67, AND DECLARES EXISTING LAW
RELATED TO THE PUBLIC. RESOURCES
CODE IN PRISON CLOSURES.
REQUIRES THE DESTRUCTION OF
FIREARMS SURRENDERED TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT THROUGH PROGRAMS
SUCH AS GUN BUYBACK PROGRAMS
UNLESS THE FIREARM IS NEEDED AS
EVIDENCE IN A CASE WITH THAT
RESPECT FOR US FOR I VOTE ON
MAYBE 200. AND MR FANG. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO A B 200. THE
PURPOSE OF OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE%
SYSTEM IS TO KEEP CALIFORNIANS
SAFE BY ENFORCING THE LAW. BUT
THIS BILL CHIPS AWAY AT THE RULE
OF LAW, CRIMINAL SENTENCING
ENHANCEMENTS BASED ON PRIOR
CONVICTIONS OR A NECESSARY TOOL
FOR JUDGES AS THEY DEAL WITH
REPEAT OFFENDERS. ELIMINATING
JUDICIAL DISCRETION PUTS
COMMUNITIES AT EVEN HIGHER RISK.
THIS BILL ALSO WOULD EXEMPT CDR
CDCR PRISON CLOSURES FROM SEQUA.
CIRCUMVENTING PUBLIC INPUT AND
REVIEW IS ENTIRELY HYPOCRITICAL
AS A STATE CONTINUES TO EXEMPT
ITSELF FROM SEQUA BUT IMPOSES
MORE AND MORE RESTRICTIONS ON
THE REST OF CALIFORNIA,
REMEMBERS. I URGE A NO VOTE.

BONDS THAT THE STATE PUBLIC WORK
SPORT MAY ISSUE FOR LOCAL JAIL
FACILITIES, RESPECT FOR OUR
ARRIVAL. AMOS FONG. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
A B 202. THIS BILL WILL SAVE
TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
DEBT SERVICE COSTS BY CANCELING
LEASE REVENUE BOND AUTHORITY AND
WILL HOPEFULLY ENCOURAGE A MORE
HOLISTIC TREATMENT FOR
DEFENDANTS THAT ARE INCOMPETENT
TO STAND TRIAL. HOWEVER OTHER
COUNTIES ARE IN DIRE NEED OF
FUNDING FOR JAILS, MANY SHERIFFS
AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS THAT USE
COUNTY JAILS ARE STRUGGLING WITH
RISING CRIME, BUT THE RESOURCES
ARE BEING CUT OFF. AS A
LEGISLATURE CONSIDERS THE
STATE'S PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS. I
WOULD ENCOURAGE FINDING WAYS TO
SUPPORT ALL LOCAL PUBLIC SAFETY

BILL PROVIDES A VARIETY OF
TECHNICAL CLEANUP IS STATUTORY
CHANGES. IT EXTENDS THE SUNSET

FISHING RESTORATION CARD TO
JANUARY 1ST 2025. THE BILL
PROTECTS THE COUNT, RECYCLE
HANDLING FEE PAYMENTS THAT ARE

SENATE AMENDMENTS, AND THE CLERK

THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGET ACCOLADE
TO ENERGY AND MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION, THEREFORE, TO
TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY RELATE
TO THE BUDGET. MR TING THANK YOU
MUCH, MR SPEAKER. A B 205 IS OUR
ENERGY OMNIBUS TRAILER BILL DOES
A NUMBER OF THINGS OR APPEALS.
THE EXISTING $10 FIXED CHARGE
CAP FOR RESIDENTIAL INVESTOR
OWNED UTILITY CUSTOMERS. IT ALSO
PROVIDES $200 MILLION THE ENERGY
COMMISSION TO PROVIDE DEMAND
RESPONSE PAYMENTS TO ADDRESS
POTENTIAL ENERGY RELIABILITY
CHARGES. IT ALSO ALLOWS SELECT
RENEWABLE ENERGY. FACILITIES AND
RELATED MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES
TO APPLY FOR A CONSOLIDATED
PERMIT AT THE CALIFORNIA ENERGY
COMMISSION UNTIL JUNE 30TH OF
2029. IT ALSO MAKES SURE THAT WE
HAVE A STRATEGIC RESERVE OF
ENERGY. SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE
BLACKOUTS HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. WHILE THE BILL DOES
TALK ABOUT PRIORITIZING CLEAN
AND GREEN ENERGY I THINK IT
COULD GO FURTHER. WE DO WE DO
BELIEVE THATWE SHOULD BE DOING
BETTER AND MAKING SURE THAT
FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE'RE
PROVIDING CLEAN ENERGY FIRST
BEFORE WE'RE PROCURING. AH!
NATURAL GAS GENERATORS OR ANY
OTHER KIND OF DIRTY ENERGY
GENERATORS IN A STATE WHERE WE
HAVE A GOAL TO HAVE 100%
RENEWABLE ENERGY BY 2050. THE
LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS TO
MOVE BACKWARDS BECAUSE WE'RE
AFRAID OF PROCURING OR UNABLE TO
PROCURE CLEAN AND GREEN ENERGY.
I KNOW THAT THIS PARTICULAR
TRAILER BILL IS THE BEGINNING OF
A DISCUSSION. I ANTICIPATE THERE
WILL BE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE
FURTHER IN AUGUST. I DO THINK IT
IS IMPORTANT TO SIGNAL TO NOT
JUST CALIFORNIANS, BUT THE REST
OF THE COUNTRY. THAT WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO
LEAD THE WAY AND CLEAN AND GREEN
ENERGY AND WE'RE GOING TO PROVE
THAT CLEAN AND GREEN ENERGY IS
AS RELIABLE AS ANY ENERGY IN
THIS ENTIRE WORLD. WITH THAT
RESPECT FOR US FIVE VOTE ON A B
205. AND MR FOX. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
A B 205. CALIFORNIA IS INDEED AN
ENERGY CRISIS. DOMESTIC ENERGY
PRODUCTION IS WANING AND COSTS
ON FAMILIES ARE THROUGH THE
ROOF. MORE ENERGY RESERVES ARE
CRITICAL, AND THE STATE SHOULD
LOOK TO ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO BUY
AND BUILD NEW RESOURCES TO
OVERCOME. UH RISK OF
UNRELIABILITY AND THE STRATEGIC
RELIABILITY RESERVE IS A GREAT
FIRST STEP. HOWEVER INSTEAD OF
PRIORITIZING LOCAL PRODUCTION TO
EASE THE BURDEN ON HOUSEHOLDS
AND CREATING WELL PAYING JOBS.
THIS BILL WOULD IMPOSE LABOR
REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD INCREASE
THE COST OF ENERGY EVEN MORE
BYPASSES PUBLIC NOTICE AND
OVERSIGHT. AND WAVES BIDDING
REQUIREMENTS ALL NECESSARY
CHECKS ON STATE GOVERNMENT BY
THE PUBLIC THAT ARE DIRECTLY
AFFECTED BY THE STATE'S ENERGY
POLICIES. THIS BILL ALSO
CONTAINS LANGUAGE THAT'S
TROUBLING FOR CALIFORNIA'S
TRIBES. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED
AS WELL. I URGE A NO VOTE. AND
MR MURATSUCHI, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SO I'M GOING TO SAY WHAT THE
BUDGET SHARE. WAS NOT ABLE TO
SAY. THIS IS A CRAPPY TRAILER
BILL. THAT WAS DUMPED ON US. OUR
LATE SUNDAY NIGHT. AND WE HAVE
TO VOTE ON THIS THREE DAYS
LATER. THIS TRAILER. IS A RUSHED. UNVETTED AND FOSSIL FUEL HEAVY
RESPONSE. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE
GOVERNORS. EFFORTS TO FAST TRACK
AND TO SENSE THE URGENCY. FOR
CALIFORNIA TO FIGHT CLIMATE
CHANGE BY FAST TRACKING CLEAN
RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS. WELL
AT THE SAME TIME. ENSURING. THAT
WE CAN KEEP THE LIGHTS ON AND
MAINTAINING ENERGY RELIABILITY.
TO HAVE MORE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
TO FUND AND TO CONTINUE TO
OPERATE FOSSIL FUEL POWER
PLANTS. IS NOT THE RIGHT PATH TO
GO. I HAVE ONE OF THOSE FOSSIL
FUEL POWER PLANTS. THE CITY OF
REDONDO BEACH. WE WERE PROMISED
BACK IN 2010. THAT THE POWER
PLANT WHICH SHUT DOWN BY THE END
OF 2020, THAT PROMISE. HAS BEEN
BROKEN. NOT ONCE BUT TWICE. AND
THIS BILL. WITH THE PROPOSAL FOR
THIS STRATEGIC RESERVE. AND TO
EMPOWER THIS UNPRECEDENTED
DEPARTMENT OF WATER. THE
DEPARTMENT'S ABILITY TO PURCHASE
ENERGY CONTRACTS. FROM THESE
FOSSIL FUEL POWER PLANTS. CAUSES
EXTREME CONCERN. NOT ONLY FOR
COMMUNITIES LIKE MINE BUT FOR
MANY COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
CONTINUING TO SUFFER FROM THE
AIR POLLUTION, THE IMPACTS ON
OUR MARINE ECOSYSTEM WITH THE
COASTAL POWER PLANTS. LIST
COUNTLESS OTHER PROJECTS WHERE
COMMUNITIES HAVE FOUGHT. TO NOT
ONLY PHASE OUT THESE THESE AIR
POLLUTION GENERATING FOSSIL FUEL
PLANTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, BUT
ALSO TO MAINTAIN LOCAL CONTROL.
TO MAINTAIN LOCAL AND STATE.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS. THIS
BILL. PROPOSALS TO WAVE. SO MANY
STATE AND LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTIONS. I UNDERSTAND THAT.
THERE ARE ONGOING DISCUSSIONS.
IN TERMS OF. MAKING SURE THAT
THAT WE ARE NOT. PURSUING AND
TRYING TO FAST TRACK ARE CLEAN
RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS AT THE
EXPENSE OF CRITICAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS. I
WILL BE. IN THE WORDS OF
MARSHAWN LYNCH. YOU KNOW? I'M
HERE. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO
GET FINED. BUT I URGE. THE
GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE AS
WE CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP OUR
PROMISES TO COMMUNITIES LIKE
REDONDO BEACH TO OUR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION, THE ENVIRONMENTAL
CONCERNS THE AIR POLLUTION, THE
IMPACTS OF OUR LOCAL
ENVIRONMENT. AND THAT WE STOP
SUBSIDIZING WITH TAXPAYER
DOLLARS. AND WE SHUT DOWN THE
FOSSIL FUEL POWER PLANTS AS
SCHEDULED. THANK YOU, MR IMMERSE
UCI, YOU ARE IN BEAST MODE. DR
QUIRKE, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, SPEAKER. UM I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF A B 205. I DON'T
NECESSARILY AGREE WITH MY
DISAGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE ABOUT
THE FACT THAT IT WAS WELL, I'LL
DISAGREE WITH A LITTLE BIT. WE
DISCUSSED ASPECTS OF THIS ABOUT
A MONTH AGO IN A JOINT COMMITTEE
HEARING WITH BUDGETS THREE UM,
AND UTILITIES AND OTHER BUDGETS
. UH, ANOTHER COMMITTEES AND
THIS ISN'T GREAT. AND IT COULD
HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. 10 YEARS AGO
IF WE'D WORKED WITH PG AND E TO
KEEP THE NUCLEAR PLANT OPEN. IT
COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. THESE
WENT THROUGH POWER POINTS
THROUGH COOLING POWER PLANTS.
SOME OF THE OLDEST IN THE STATE
IF WE HAD BETTER TRANSMISSION
FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA TO
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, BECAUSE
PLANTS THAT WERE SHUTTING UP
THAT WE WERE SHUTTING DOWN UP
THERE. REALLY COULD HAVE
REPLACED THOSE WENT THROUGH
COOLING PLANTS. BUT NONE OF
THOSE OPPORTUNITIES WERE AVAILED
. SO YEAH, IT'S A LOUSY BILL,
BUT IT'S THE BEST HOPE WE HAVE
FOR KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON. I'D
ALSO LIKE TO SAY I'VE READ IT
THE BILL IN DETAIL AT THIS
PARTICULAR SECTION. AND THERE
ARE I BELIEVE ADEQUATE
SAFEGUARDS WHERE, FOR EXAMPLE,
THE ENERGY COMMITTEES HAVE TO
TALK TO FISH AND WILDLIFE AND
OTHER RESPONSIBLE ENVIRONMENTAL
ORGANIZATIONS AND MAKING THESE
PLANS. SO AGAIN, I URGE AND I
VOTE ON A B 205. IT'S NOT GREAT
, BUT IT'S THE BEST ALTERNATIVE
WE HAVE FOR KEEPING THE LIGHTS
ON. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR
COURT. MISBAH BAUER-KAHAN. YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE. TO
JOIN MY COLLEAGUE FROM LOS
ANGELES IN RAISING CONCERNS
ABOUT THIS TRAILER BILL. YOU
KNOW, WE WORK INCREDIBLY HARD IN
THIS LEGISLATURE TO MOVE
CALIFORNIA TO THE GREEN ENERGY
FUTURE THAT OUR CHILDREN
DESERVE. AND WE HAVE TO BALANCE
THOSE NEEDS WITH THE NEEDS OF TO
KEEP OUR CONSTITUENTS LIGHTS ON.
AS SOMEONE WHO HASSUFFERED FROM
SOME OF THE LONGEST POWER
SHUTOFFS IN THE STATE. I KNOW
THE RISKS AND THE DAMAGE OF THE
LIGHTS TURNING OUT FOR MY
CONSTITUENTS, SO I APPRECIATE
THE EFFORT HERE TO KEEP THE
LIGHTS ON. AND I ALSO APPRECIATE
THE EFFORT TO MOVE CALIFORNIA TO
CLEAN AND GREEN ENERGY FUTURE AS
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM SAN FRANCISCO
MENTIONED HOWEVER, I HAVE A
COMMUNITY THAT'S WORKING HARD TO
BRING SOLAR AND WIND ONTO THE
GRID, AND THEY'VE DONE SO WHILE
WORKING INCREDIBLY HARD TO
MAINTAIN OPEN SPACE BECAUSE OPEN
SPACE IS ALSO A CRITICAL PIECE.
OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE FUTURE,
MAKING SURE WE HAVE THOSE OPEN
SPACES TO BE THE CARBON SINKS
THAT WE NEED AND WHAT THIS FAILS
TO DO IS CONTINUE TO ALLOW MY
COMMUNITY TO MAINTAIN THAT
CONTROL. OVER ENSURING THAT WE
HAVE CLEAN ENERGY PRODUCTS
PROJECTS AND WE HAVE OPEN SPACE
THAT WILL ALL GO TO THE C E. C
THAT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE
LANDSCAPE OF THE COMMUNITY. YES
IT MAINTAINS EQUAL CONTROL, BUT
ONLY OVER EACH PIECE OF LAND AND
NOT OVER THE RESOURCE
CONSERVATION PLANS, AND MANY OF
OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE WORKED SO
HARD TO BALANCE, OPEN SPACE AND
CLEAN ENERGY. AND SO I
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO AND THE CHAIR BUDGET
CHAIR, SAYING WE'RE CONTINUING
TO WORK ON THAT, AND I URGE THIS
BODY TO LOOK VERY DEEPLY AT THAT
QUESTION, BECAUSE IT'S A
CRITICAL ONE, AND MANY OF US WHO
HAVE THESE PROJECTS IN OUR
COMMUNITY HAVE WORKED HARD TO
MAKE THAT BALANCE REALITY AND WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO SO.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. PRESENTING
A B 19 1 92, WHICH IS OUR BETTER
FOR FAMILIES ACT. THIS IS OUR
TAX REBATE $9.5 BILLION TAX
REBATE THE HARD WORKING
CALIFORNIANS. THIS PUTS DOLLARS
IN THEIR BANK. OVER PENNIES AT
THE PUMP. THIS WILL PROVIDE
$1000 TO FAMILIES WHO ARE MAKING
LESS THAN 100 AND $50,000 300
DOLLARS $350 PER TAXPAYER. AND
THEN $350. FOR ONE OR MORE
DEPENDENCE. UM THESE REFUNDS ARE
GOING THROUGH THE FRONT AS TAX
BOARD. THIS IS ONE OF THE
FASTEST WAYS THAT WE COULD GET
THE MONEY BACK TO OUR TAXPAYERS
, AND WE BELIEVE THAT WHEN THEY
GET THAT $1000 CHECK THAT THEY
CAN USE IT TO BUY GAS BY FOOD,
HELP PAY RENT CRITICAL, CRITICAL
NECESSITIES THAT THEY ARE USING
EVERY SINGLE DAY. WITH THAT, I
ASKED YOU TO VOTE. ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. ON S ON A B 1 92 VERY MUCH
NEEDED TAX REBATE. AND MR FONG.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. MEMBERS I
RELUCTANTLY RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THE 1 92. CALIFORNIA FAMILIES
ARE STRUGGLING IN ARE FACING
DIFFICULT DECISIONS. MANY HAVE
LEFT THE STATE AS THE COST OF
LIVING IS UNBEARABLE IN
CALIFORNIA. BUT THIS TEMPORARY
REFUND IS NEITHER IMMEDIATE NOR
PERMANENT. BUT. IT IS SOMETHING
THAT CALIFORNIANS NEED. BUT THIS
REBATE PALES IN COMPARISON TO
WHAT FAMILIES HAVE PAID IN TAXES
AND INFLATION COSTS. SADIE
INCOME TAXES. PLUS OVER $8000 IN
INFLATION COSTS, PLUS RISING
ELECTRICITY, WATER, GROCERY AND
GASOLINE COSTS. TO SOMEHOW SAY
THIS IS RELIEF. IGNORES THE
ECONOMIC PAIN CALIFORNIANS ARE
EXPERIENCING. WE NEED MEANINGFUL
, ONGOING AND PERMANENT TAX
RELIEF FOR HARDWORKING
CALIFORNIANS. WE NEED TO LET
CALIFORNIANS KEEP THEIR HARD
EARNED MONEY. EVEN THOUGH THERE
IS A STATE SURPLUS. IT IS THE
CLEAREST EVIDENCE THAT
CALIFORNIA IS OVERTAXED, AND WE
MUST ACKNOWLEDGETHAT WE NEED TO
HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION. WE
NEED TO EXERT SOME POLITICAL
WILL TO REDUCE THE TAX BURDEN IN
CALIFORNIA. INSTEAD OF ONE TIME
PAYMENTS. SACRAMENTO SHOULD NOT
TAKE MORE THAN IT NEEDS IN THE
FIRST PLACE. I WILL CONTINUE TO
ADVOCATE FOR CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYERS AND I RELUCTANTLY
URGED YOUR I VOTE. AND MR KILEY.
PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY BUT
ESPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA, ARE
STRUGGLING WITH OUT OF CONTROL
INFLATION. SO LEAVE IT TO THIS
LEGISLATURE AND THIS GOVERNOR TO
COME UP WITH A SO CALLED
INFLATION RELIEF PACKAGE THAT
EXPERTS AGREE OR MAKE INFLATION
EVEN WORSE. PEOPLE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY BUT ESPECIALLY IN
CALIFORNIA. ARE STRUGGLING WITH
UNBELIEVABLE GAS PRICES. SO
LEAVE IT TO THIS LEGISLATURE AND
THIS GOVERNOR TO DECIDE THAT NOW
IS A GOOD TIME TO INCREASE THE
GAS TAX. IN JANUARY. I OFFERED A
FORM OF RELIEF PROPOSAL THAT IS
SIMPLE, IMMEDIATE. MEANINGFUL
AND NOT INHERENTLY INFLATIONARY.
AND THAT IS THE SUSPEND OUR
STATE'S EXTREMELY HIGH GAS TAX.
OR REPUBLICAN CAUCUS HAS BEEN
UNITED IN SUPPORTING THAT
PROPOSAL FROM THE BEGINNING. BY
NOW, AT LEAST A DOZEN OF OUR
COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE SUPPORTED AS WELL. RED
AND BLUE STATES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY HAVE UNANIMOUSLY PASSED
GAS TAX SUSPENSIONS. EVEN
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS FOR IT.
EVEN BIDEN. WHY IS THIS STATE
CAPITAL SO RESISTANT TO COMMON
SENSE? WHAT ARE WE AFRAID OF?
NOW SUSPENDING THE GAS TAX IS
NOT GOING TO BRING PRICES TO
REASONABLE LEVELS. BUT IT WILL
HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE IN A REAL
WAY AND RIGHT AWAY. AND MORE
THAN THAT IT WILL GIVE
CALIFORNIANS AT LEAST A LITTLE
BIT OF FAITH THAT THEIR ELECTED
OFFICIALS CARE ABOUT THEIR
STRUGGLES AND ARE ON THEIR SIDE.
THAT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE TOO
MUCH TO ASK. THANK YOU, MR
KILEY, SAYING NO. ADDITIONAL
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE. MR TING,
YOU MAY CLOSE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. MR SPEAKER. YOU'RE RIGHT.
THAT'S ABSOLUTELY ABOUT COMMON
SENSE.WERE GIVEN CALIFORNIA'S A
CHOICE. YOU ARE LESS MONEY. OR
MORE MONEY. YOU WANT LESS HELP?
OR MORE HELP. WITH THEIR
PROPOSALS LESS HELP. WITH OURS.

BARRIER TO HOUSING AND

CALIFORNIA'S EXISTING SYSTEM FOR
ARREST AND CONVICTION IN THREE
WAYS ONE. IT EXTENDS AUTOMATED
ARREST RECORDS, STEALING TWO
FELONY ARRESTS IF THE INDIVIDUAL
WAS NEITHER CHARGED NOR
CONVICTED SIX YEARS AFTER THE
ARREST. OR THREE YEARS AFTER FOR
LESS SERIOUS OFFENSES. TO IT
EXTENDS THE ELIGIBILITY FOR

OF INCARCERATION. PROBATION
MANDATORY SUPERVISION, POST
RELEASE SUPERVISION PAROLE IN AN

MEASURE PASSES. MEMBERS WITHOUT
OBJECTION. WE WILL MOVE TO TAKE
UP. SET A BILL 54. WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO FILE SB 54 WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO FILE. SB 54. AND A
CLERK CALL RATE. THE SENATE BILL
54 BY CENTERS, ALLEN AND OTHERS,
AN ACCOLADE AND SOLID WASTE. MS
REVIS, YOU MAY OPEN. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER. AS A JOINT AUTHOR OF
SB 54. I AM PROUD TO BE
PRESENTING THIS BILL TODAY ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR ALLEN. FOR
FOUR YEARS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING
TO PASS COMPREHENSIVE PLASTICS
REDUCTION LEGISLATION IN
CALIFORNIA. I'D LIKE TO START BY
EXPLAINING HOW THIS MEASURE IS
DIFFERENTFROM ITS PREDECESSORS
. FIRST THIS BILL IS THE PRODUCT
OF DETERMINED STAKEHOLDER
NEGOTIATIONS THAT BROUGHT
TOGETHER THE ENVIRONMENTAL
COMMUNITY BUSINESS INTERESTS,
RECYCLING SERVICE PROVIDERS AND
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO DEVELOP A
BALANCED LEGISLATIVE SOLUTION.
TO OUR STATE'S PACKAGING AND
PLASTIC WASTE CRISIS. THE GOAL
WAS TO CRAFT LEGISLATION THAT
WAS FLEXIBLE ENOUGHTO ADDRESS
CONCERNS RAISED BY INDUSTRY BUT
STRONG ENOUGH TO WIN THE SUPPORT
OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND
BUSINESS GROUPS BACKING A
STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE. THE
MEASURE BEFORE YOU TODAY
ACCOMPLISHES THOSE GOALS. LIKE
LAST YEAR. S P 54 REQUIRES ALL
MATERIAL COVERED UNDER THE BILL
. SINGLE USE PACKAGING PLASTIC
FOOD SERVICE, WHERE, LIKE
DISPOSABLE CUPS, BOWLS AND
CUTLERY. TO BE RECYCLABLE OR
COMPOSED DOBLE WITHIN 10 YEARS.
THE BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY
REQUIRES PRODUCERS TO REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF COVERED PLASTIC
MATERIAL. THAT IS COMING ONTO
THE MARKET BY 25% WITHIN A
DECADE. FURTHERMORE IT PROVIDES
CLEAR GUIDANCE AND CERTAINTY TO
INDUSTRY ON HOW TO ACHIEVE THESE
GOALS, WHILE STILL ALLOWING FOR
FLEXIBILITY TO ENABLE BUSINESS
IN CALIFORNIA TO GROW
RESPONSIBLY. SB 54 ALSO CREATES
THE CALIFORNIA PLASTIC POLLUTION
MITIGATION FUND, WHICH WILL
GENERATE 500 YEAR FOR 10 YEARS
PAID BY PLASTIC PRODUCERS AND
MANUFACTURERS. TO FUND THE
MONITORING AND MITIGATION OF
PLASTIC POLLUTION, PRIMARILY IN
DISADVANTAGED LOW INCOME AND
RURAL COMMUNITIES. MODELED OFF
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS IN CANADA
AND THE EUROPEAN UNION. SB 54
REQUIRES THE PRODUCERS OF THESE
MATERIALS TO FORM A PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY. ORGANIZATION
ALSO KNOWN AS P R O TO ORGANIZE
AND FUND INDUSTRY'S EFFORTS TO
COMPLY WITH THIS MEASURE. THE P
R O MUST DEVELOP A PLAN THAT IS
REVIEWED BY A NEWLY CREATED
ADVISORY BOARD MADE UP OF
DIVERSE INTERESTS AND THEN SEND
THAT PLAN TO CAL RECYCLE.
CALORIE CYCLE HAS AUTHORITY TO A
APPROVE THE PLAN AND CAN INSIST
UPON CHANGES IF THE PLAN IS NOT
DESIGNED TO MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS OF SB 54. THIS BILL
GOES BEYOND THE STANDARD
REQUIREMENT OF OTHER PACKAGING
EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY
PROGRAMS THAT SIMPLY COVER COSTS
, THE RECYCLING RATES AND SOURCE
REDUCTION REQUIREMENTS COMBINED
WITH PROTECTIONS FOR
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. MAKE
MAKES THIS PROGRAM A MODEL FOR
SIMILAR EFFORTS UNDERWAY AND
OTHER JURISDICTIONS. AS THE
CHAIR OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND
AS SOMEONE WHO REPRESENTS
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
COMMUNITIES I DID NOT INITIALLY
SET AS BEFORE TO BE HEARD. WHILE
I ALWAYS BELIEVED IT WAS OUR JOB
AS LEGISLATORS TO PRESENT A
LEGISLATIVE SOLUTION. I FELT THE
BILL NEEDED ADDITIONAL
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS. I
HAVE SPENT THE LAST FEW WEEKS
HEAVILY FOCUSEDON NEGOTIATING
THE FINAL COMPONENTS TO THE BILL
, WHICH I NOW BELIEVE MAKES THIS
ONE OF THE STRONGEST PLASTICS
AND PACKAGING MEASURES IN THE
NATION. MEMBERS WITH SB 54. WE
WILL PUT CALIFORNIA AT THE
FOREFRONT OF ADDRESSING PLASTIC
POLLUTION AND DO IT IN A WAY
THAT OFFERS THE CERTAINTY. AND
SPECIFICITY NEEDED FOR INDUSTRY
TO SUCCEED. THANK YOU. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MISS. RIVAS AND MR
GREYSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
. I DO RISE AS PRINCIPAL CO
AUTHOR AND SUPPORT OF SB 54, THE
PLASTIC POLLUTION PREVENTION AND
PACKAGING PRODUCER
RESPONSIBILITY ACT. THIS
MONUMENTAL BILL HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO BE A MODEL FOR THE
WHOLE COUNTRY. AS WE LOOK TO
FIND WAYS TO CURB THE USE OF
PLASTICS THAT TAKE A PRECIOUS
SPACE IN OUR LANDFILLS AND
LITTER ARE PRISTINE COASTLINES
AND BEACHES, ACCORDING TO A 2020
RECITE CALVARY CYCLE REPORT.
CALIFORNIA'S OVERALL WASTE
GENERATION WAS OVER 77 MILLION
TONS AND PLASTIC PRODUCTION IS
POISED TO CONTINUE TO GROW IF WE
DO NOT TAKE ACTION. SB 54 WILL
HELP TO REDUCE THESE
UNSUSTAINABLE AMOUNTS BY
REQUIRING THE CALIFORNIA THAT
CALIFORNIA REDUCES PLASTIC
POLLUTION BY AT LEAST 25%
THROUGH EMPOWERING COWARDS
CYCLE. AND REQUIRING
RESPONSIBILITY FROM PLASTIC
PRODUCERS. BUT SB 54 IS ALSO
MONUMENTAL FOR HOW IT CAME TO US
TODAY. AFTER YEARS OF OFTEN
THANKLESS WORK BY SENATOR ALLEN
AND HIS STAFF POINT PERSON, TINA
ANGELINA. WHO BOTH NEVER GAVE UP
ON THIS POLICY AND KEPT WORKING
AND GOOD FAITH, BRINGING
TOGETHER A DIVERSE GROUP OF
STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE
ENVIRONMENTAL AND BUSINESS
COMMUNITIES TO NEGOTIATE THE
BILL THAT IS BEFORE US TODAY. IT
SHOWS IT SHOWS THAT THAT AMAZING
THINGS CAN HAPPEN IN THE GRAND
LABORATORY OF DEMOCRACY WHEN
PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL COME
TOGETHER. DEMOCRATS REPUBLICANS
AND INDEPENDENTS URBAN AND RULE
PUTTING ASIDE DIFFERENCES AND
THE ENDEMIC MISTRUST THAT HAS
SEEPED INTO THE POLITICAL
DISCOURSE. TO CRAFT A
SUBSTANTIVE POLICY WITH HONESTY
, COMPROMISE AND RESPECT BY
PASSING SB 54, CALIFORNIA CAN
ONCE AGAIN PROVE THAT ECONOMIC
SUCCESS AN ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTIONS CAN BE ACHIEVED
TOGETHER AND THAT THIS
LEGISLATIVE BODY CAN CRAFT
POLICY THAT UNITES US ACROSS THE
STATE AND ACROSS THE AISLE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NAVAL THANK
YOU, MR GRAYSON. MS RUBIO. YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY IN SUPPORT
OF SB 54. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM CONCORD AND MY
SENATE COLLEAGUES FROM SANTA
MONICA. FOR THEIR TREMENDOUS
WORK. THIS WORK BEGAN ABOUT
THREE YEARS AGO, AND IT
INTENSIFIED THE LAST EIGHT
MONTHS AND DEFINITELY THE LAST
FOUR MONTHS. UM THE COALITIONS
THAT CAME TOGETHER FROM BOTH
SIDES. WERE GREAT, UH, TEAM
MEMBERS. I AM OF THE MIND THAT A
GOOD NEGOTIATION MEANS THAT NOT
EVERYBODY IS HAPPY, BUT
EVERYBODY COMES WITH SOMETHING
THAT'S IMPORTANT TO THEM. AND I
THINK THIS IS PROOF. THAT
COALITION BUILDING AND THE, UH,
COLLABORATION BETWEEN ALL OF US
BRINGS A GOOD PRODUCT TO THE
TABLE, AND I WANT TO THANK
EVERYONE AGAIN THE COALITION'S
FOR THEIR HARD WORK. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.
SB 54. THANK YOU, MR RUBIO, MISS
GARCIA. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU MEMBERS. UM. ACTUALLY
WANT TO WALK AWAY FROM SOME OF
THE HYPER BOWL OF WHETHER OR NOT
THIS IS THE BEST. BUILT ON
PLASTIC OUT THERE AND I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THIS BILL. THIS IS MY 10TH YEAR
HERE IN THE LEGISLATURE. AND WE
I'VE I'VE MADE STATEMENTS OF
HYPER BILL AND THEN WHEN IT
COMES TO IMPLEMENTATION ABLE TO
DELIVER FOR MY ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE COMMUNITIES FROM MY
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES. I
DON'T JUST LIVE IN ONE OF THOSE
COMMUNITIES. I SPENT MY LIFE IN
ONE OF THOSE COMMUNITIES. BUT
I'VE BEEN FIGHTING ALL 10 YEARS
FOR THOSE COMMUNITIES. AND AS I
THINK ABOUT MY 10 YEAR COMING TO
AN END AH AND THOSE OF YOU ARE
GOING TO BE HERE. YOU SHOULD
VOTE ON THIS BILL TODAY. LET ME
SAY THAT. BUT YOUR COMMITMENT
SHOULD MEET US TO VOTE ON THAT
BILL TODAY, BUT THAT WE ACTUALLY
HONOR THAT HYPERBOLE AND THAT WE
DEFEND THE PROMISES MADE TODAY
AND WHEN THE INDUSTRY OR THE
INDUSTRY CHOOSES T WALK AWAY
FROM SOME OF THESE DEALS OR SOME
OF THESE AGREEMENTS. I HOPE YOU
GUYS STAND UP AND FIGHT WHETHER
THAT'S THROUGH ADDITIONAL
LEGISLATION OR THROUGH LAWSUITS
OR WHATEVER NEEDS TO HAPPEN
BECAUSE THE REALITY IS THAT OUR
COMMUNITIES OUT THERE ARE AFRAID
ABOUT WHAT'S BEING VOTED ON HERE
TODAY ARE AFRAID OF THE AGENCIES
THAT ARE IN CHARGE OF THE STATE
. SOMEBODY STAGES IN SOUTHFIELD,
US AND ALL YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT
IS EXCITED. IN MY BACKYARD. A
LOT OF AGENCIES SAY FILLED IS
THERE AS A LEGISLATURE, WE'VE
INVESTED ALMOST A BILLION
DOLLARS IN CLEANING IT UP THOSE
HOUSES AND THOSE COMMUNITIES OUT
THERE. BUT THAT'S JUST A DOWN
PAYMENT TO WHAT IS NEEDED FOR
THESE COMMUNITIES OUT THERE. AND
SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT
WELL, WE ARE VOTING FOR THIS,
AND WE ARE DOING OUR JOB AS A
LEGISLATURE. THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE PROMISES
AROUND CHEMICAL RECYCLING ARE
KEPT ON THE ROAD BECAUSE THE
DANGER IS INTO ALL OF US THE
DANGEROUS TO COMMUNITIES LIKE
MINE WHERE WE ARE OFTEN TOLD
YOU'RE ON RADIO WASTELAND. IT'S
TOO HARD TO CLEAN THIS UP, SO
LET'S JUST GO AHEAD AND ADD ONE
MORE TOXIC TO YOUR BACKYARD. AND
YOU KNOW WHAT? IT'S OK BECAUSE
IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD. BUT
WHAT WE HEAR IS THAT WE'RE NOT
WORTH IT THAT WE DON'T MATTER
AND THAT OUR HEALTH AND OUR
LIVES GET TO BE SACRIFICED, AND
IT'S DISPROPORTIONATELY
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR. URS
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES THAT DEAL
WITH THAT OUT THERE. AND SO
WHERE MY COLLEAGUES THAT ARE
GOING TO BE HERE. I HOPE YOU'RE
GONNA FIGHT LIKE HOW IF, FOR
WHATEVER REASON, SUDDENLY THESE
CHEMICAL RECYCLING PLANTS ARE
SHOWING UP IN A J COMMUNITIES,
AND THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN HERE.
I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS BILL
BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT WHAT'S IN
THE BILL, BUT ABOUT THE
COMMITMENT THAT I'M HOPING
EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE AUTHOR,
WHO HAS SPOKEN ABOUT IT. WE NEED
CLEANUP LEGISLATION AND FIGHTING
ON THE ROAD AND GUARANTEES FROM
MY COMMUNITIES OUT THERE. I'M
GONNA I'M GONNA WORK WITH THIS
FOR THIS. AND I HOPE THAT YOU
FOLLOW THROUGH ON THOSE PROMISES
DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE I CAN'T
HELP BUT BE SKEPTICAL BOTH OF US
OF THE AGENCIES AND OF INDUSTRY
OUT THERE. I RESPECTFULLY DO DO
ASK NOT JUST FOR THAT. I VOTED
FOR THAT LONG TERM COMMITMENT.
THANK YOU, MR GARCIA. MR. MATHIS
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS. THIS BILL. IS
SOMETHING THAT WE ALL SHOULD BE
PROUD OF IS A BODY. SOMETHING
THAT WE PUSH. FOR AS LEGISLATORS
WHEN YOU CAN TAKE MULTIPLE
DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDER GROUPS
WHEN YOU CAN TAKE DIFFERENT
INDUSTRIES. PRODUCERS PROVIDERS
RAW MATERIAL. RECYCLERS LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS, ENVIRONMENTAL
NONPROFIT GROUPS. AND YOU CAN
GET THEM TO COME TO THE TABLE.
AND FIGURE IT OUT. BECAUSE TOO
OFTEN IN THIS BUILDING WE PLAY
REFEREE. WE PICK FAVORITES. WE
PICK WINNERS AND LOSERS. SB 54
IS A COMPROMISE. OF EVERYBODY
ACROSS THE BOARD ON THIS ISSUE.
FOR RECYCLING ON WHERE WE ARE
GOING TO MOVE FORWARD TO AS A
STATE. IT'S A HUGE. WHAT'S KNOWN
AS INDUSTRY IS CORPORATE SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY. THIS BILL
CHANGES A LOT OF THINGS. THERE'S
A LOT OF STUFF THAT THERE'S SOME
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.
WHAT'S THIS GOING TO COST?
WHAT'S IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE? IN
THE FUTURE WITH THIS IS GOING TO
DO WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT WE DON'T
DO ANYTHING. OUR LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE GOING TO BE PUT
IN A POSITION. TO WHERE THEY'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO INCREASE FEES
TO GO PICK UP TRASH AND
RECYCLABLES AND DO THESE OTHER
THINGS TO DEAL WITH LANDFILL
ISSUES. THAT'S A FACT IF WE
DON'T DO ANYTHING. BUT INSTEAD
WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE BROUGHT
EVERYBODY TOGETHER. WE'VE
CREATED A HUGE COMPROMISE HERE.
AND THIS IS THE TYPE OF POLICY
THE TYPE OF WORK THE YEARS LONG
WORK. THAT WE STRIVE FOR. WE
NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE NEED
TO APPRECIATE THAT. AS A BODY
MEMBERS. I ASK YOU TO SUPPORT
THIS DEAL. THIS HARD WORK THAT
EVERYBODY ACROSS THE BOARD IS
PUT IN. IN PAST THIS TODAY.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR MATHIS.
MR. PATTERSON, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. YEAH, THANK YOU. MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS II TO RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT HERE, UM THIS IS
MY WHAT ABOUT 10TH YEAR? TURNED
OUT IN 2024. AND I WANT TO ECHO
WHAT WE ARE SEEING NOT ONLY IN
THIS COMPROMISE. BUT IN THE
MICRO COMPROMISE THAT MIKA OR
MICRO MICRO, ISN'T YOU SHOULD
KNOW. BUT. THINK ABOUT THE
ACHIEVEMENT HERE. AND WHEN THE
CALIFORNIA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CALLS ME UP. AND SAYS WE WANT
YOU TO VOTE FOR THIS. I'VE GOT A
WHOLE BUNCH OF AG FOLKS AND A
WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHERS WHO WERE
SAYING LOOK THIS IS A SOLUTION.
BOTH SIDES RECOGNIZED IT NEEDED
TO HAPPEN OR ELSE THERE WOULD
HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE RADICAL.
EFFORTS THAT WOULDN'T MAKE
ANYBODY HAPPY, FRANKLY. AND THEN
CONTINUE THIS KNOCKDOWN
WRESTLING MATCH BETWEEN THESE
INTERESTS. I AM HOPING THAT AS I
SORT OF RIGHT OFF INTO THE
SUNSET AND 2020 FOR THAT WE WILL
HAVE LEARNED THE LESSON OF THIS
KIND OF COMPROMISE MAKING.
REALLY IT IS SIGNIFICANT. IT
BRINGS THE INDUSTRY INIT. DOES
THE KINDS OF THINGS THAT ARE
AGRICULTURAL PEOPLE NEED IN THE
BUSINESSES, BUT ALSO IT GETS US
TO A PLACE OF RECYCLING IN A WAY
THAT IS SUSTAINABLE AND IN A WAY
THAT ALLOWS FOR THE. THE
PRODUCTS BUT ALLOWS FOR A CHANGE
OVER TIME. UH AND I AM GLAD TO
SUPPORT IT, AND I JUST WANT TO
THANK EVERYBODY FOR WORKING ON
IT. I WOULD HOPE THIS IS THE
KIND OF LEGISLATION THAT WE DO
MORE OFTEN THAN UH, DOING THE
KINDS OF THINGS THAT SPLIT US
ALL APART. THIS ONE BROUGHT US
TOGETHER, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR
THAT, AND I'M GLAD TO VOTE FOR
IT. THANK YOU, MR PATTERSON. AND
MS FREED. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE AS A VERY PROUD
PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR OF THIS
MEASURE, AND I JUST WANTED TO
TAKE A MINUTE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE
CHAIR OF NATURAL RESOURCES FOR
HER INCREDIBLE WORK ON THIS, OF
COURSE, THE AUTHOR MR ALLEN. BUT
I WANTED TO ALSO CALL OUT THE
ADVOCATES WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING
FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS TO TRY TO
DEAL WITH OUR GROWING POLLUTION
PROBLEM. THE LOCAL PEOPLE WHO
HAVE WRITTEN I THINK ALL OF US
AND I'VE GOTTEN MYSELF HUNDREDS
OF EMAILS OVER THE LAST FEW
MONTHS FROM JUST CITIZENS WHO
ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE RISING
COSTS THAT THEY'RE PAYING TO
THEIR UTILITIES TO DEAL WITH
THEIR TRASH. THE PEOPLE IN MY
COMMUNITY WHO ARE CONCERNED THAT
OUR LANDFILL IS RAPIDLY FILLING
UP THE LANDFILL THAT WE HAVE
RIGHT IN GLENDALE. THE GIRL
SCOUTS IN BURBANK, WHO DID THEIR
PROJECT THEIR THEIR MAJOR
PROJECT ON TRYING TO BAN
POLYSTYRENE IN THE CITY OF
BURBANK. THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CHILDREN, INCLUDING MY OWN, WHO
DO THE PROJECTS THAT BRING THEM
BRING HOME PROJECTS TO SHOW
THEIR PARENTS ABOUT WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO MARINE WILDLIFE
BECAUSE OF PLASTIC IN THE OCEAN.
THE HEALTH ADVOCATES WHO RAISE
ALARMS ABOUT RISING AMOUNTS OF
PLASTIC MICROFIBERS THAT ARE
BEING FOUND IN THE OCEAN AND
EVEN IN OUR OWN HUMAN BLOOD. THE
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO
WERE SAYING WE NEED TO BE MORE
SUSTAINABLE AND HOW WE LIVE. HOW
WE ARE YOU CONSIDERING THINGS
THAT MOVE THROUGH OUR HOMES AS
BEING SO DISPOSABLE THAT WE
DON'T THINK TWICE ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS TO THEM AFTER THAT, THEY
EXPECT THAT SOMEHOW WHAT WE USE
IS BEING DEALT WITH IN A WAY
THAT SUSTAINABLE WELL, WE KNOW
IT'S NOT AND WE HAVE TAKEN
ACTION HERE IN THIS LEGISLATURE
TODAY, BUT LET'S NOT FORGET IT'S
BECAUSE OF THE GROUNDSWELL OF
PRESSURE AND SUPPORT THAT WE
HAVE RECEIVED FOR YEARS AND
YEARS, AND I'M GLAD THAT WE'RE
NO LONGER IGNORING THAT. AND
THAT WE HAVE COME TOGETHER TO
TAKE ACTION. AND WITH THAT I
WOULD URGE AND I VOTE. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR FRIEDMAN. AND
MR SPEAKER, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
MR SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE TODAY
TO ALSO SUPPORT SB 54 SINGLE USE
PLASTICS AS WE KNOW OUR SCOURGE
ON OUR PLANET. HISTORICALLY
THEY'VE BEEN USED TO PRODUCE, UH
THEY'VE BEEN PRODUCED EXPRESSLY
TO BE THROWN AWAY AND THEY FILL
UP OUR DUMPS AND POPULATE
ARTIFICIAL MATS OF GARBAGE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN. THEY
CHOKE SEAGULLS AT THE BEACH AND
LITTER THE MEDIANS OF EVERY ROAD
THAT WE FREQUENT. I WISH I COULD
SAY THAT SB 54 IS A SIMPLE BILL.
IT'S NOT IT'S LONG AND IT'S
COMPLEX. UM BUT I THINK WE ALL
UNDERSTAND THAT SB 54 WILL LEAD
OUR MANUFACTURERS TO REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF HARMFUL PLASTICS THAT
LIVE FOREVER AS WASTE. IT
DOESN'T SAY THAT WE WON'T USE
PLASTICS ANYMORE. IT DOES SAY
THAT ITEMS DESIGNATED IN THE
BILL ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MEET
MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR A CYCLE
ABILITY AND COMPOSTING. I WANT
TO THANK OUR NATURAL RESOURCES
CHAIR FOR INCREDIBLE EFFORTS,
PARTICULARLY OVER THE FEST LAST
FEW WEEKS AND DAYS. THIS BILL IS
A GOOD START. I ALSO WANT TO
