A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION. TO
PRIVATELY FUND THE CONSTRUCTION

FAMILIES MONUMENTS ON THE

CAPITOL. THE SIGNIFICANCE AND
IMPORTANCE OF THIS BILL. TO OUR
STATE'S VETERANS. AND OUR GOLD
STAR FAMILIES. REFLECTS. AND
IT'S BIPARTISAN SUPPORT ON THIS
MEASURE. WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE
TO THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
COOLEY. FLORA RAMOS AND VOEPEL.
WE'RE JOINED AUTHORING THIS BILL
WITH ME. AS WELL AS THE MANY
OTHER BIPARTISAN MEMBERS OF THE
COALITION. SENATOR AMENDMENTS,
ADDED ADDITIONAL CO AUTHORS TO
THE MEASURE. MEMBERS. IT'S JUST
RECENTLY STATED BY MY COLLEAGUE
FROM BAKERSFIELD. THE TITLE OF
GOLD STAR FAMILY. IS RESERVED
FOR FAMILIES OF MILITARY
MEMBERS. WHO HAVE DIED IN THE
LINE OF DUTY. THE HISTORY OF THE
GOLD STAR FAMILIES BEGAN IN THE
UNITED STATES SHORTLY AFTER
WORLD WAR ONE DURING THIS
CONFLICT. THE CUSTOMER ROSE WHEN
FAMILIES OF SERVICE MEMBERS
WOULD HANG A SERVICE FLAG. IN
THE WINDOWS OF THEIR HOMES. A
BLUE STAR. FOR A LIVING SERVICE
MEMBER. A SILVER STAR. RACE
SERVICE MEMBER THAT HAD BEEN
WOUNDED IN ACTION. AND A GOLD
STAR. FOR ONE WHO HAD PAID THE
ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. A B 17 62 IS
STRAIGHTFORWARD AND COMMON SENSE
MEASURE THAT PAYS HOMAGE TO THIS
PRACTICE. REMEMBERS. IT IS WITH
A SAD HEART. THAT I INFORM YOU.
THAT THE BILL SPONSOR HAS
RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. THE
SPONSOR OF THIS BILL.
COMMERCIAL, WOODY WILLIAMS. WAS
THE LAST MEDAL OF HONOR
RECIPIENT FROM WORLD WAR TWO. HE
CHAMPIONED THE GOLD STAR
MONUMENT EFFORT. AND THE EFFORT
ACROSS OUR ENTIRE COUNTRY. WOULD
HE PASSED AWAY? ON JUNE 29TH AT
THE YOUNG AGE OF 99. IT WAS MY
INTENTION TO HAVE WHAT HE HERE
WITH ME TODAY. THE CAMARADERIE.
IT. THE ADDITIONAL CHAPTER OF
HIS LIFE WORKED. TO GET IN
CALIFORNIA, A GOLD STAR
MONUMENT. I BELIEVE HE IS HERE
WITH US IN SPIRIT. TO THAT END.
SHOULD THIS BILL PASS? I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT WE ALL
OBSERVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE IN
THE HONOR OF WHAT HE WILLIAMS
FOR HIS COURAGE, VALUE AND
DEVOTION TO SERVING OUR GREAT
NATION. WE WILL RECOGNIZE THAT
MR MATHIS UPON COMPLETION OF THE
ITEM. THANK YOU, SIR.
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST. AND I
VOTE. ON CONCURRING IN THE STATE
AMENDMENTS. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR MATHIS. MR. COOLEY, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. COLLEAGUES I'M
HONORED TO RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS MEASURE. I AM A CO AUTHOR.
I THINK IT IS A I JUST WANT TO
NOTE HERE IN THIS CHAMBER IS
IT'S AN A VERY SPECIAL PLACE TO
PUT A SPOTLIGHT. AND THOSE WHO
GAVE WHAT? THAT MAN CALLED THE
LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN AS PRESIDENT
OFTEN REFLECTED UPON THE
SIGNIFICANCE TO OUR NATION. OF
THOSE WHO PRECEDED US AND GAVE
THEIR LIFE ON BATTLEFIELDS. SO
LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION.
THAT OF COURSE, COMES FROM HIS
GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. BUT IN THE
ERA OF THE CIVIL WAR AS HE TOOK
HIS FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS. IN
18 61. AND THE NATION WAS VERY
MUCH DIVIDED. AND AS HE
CONCLUDED HIS INAUGURAL ADDRESS
, HE BROUGHT PEOPLE'S MINDS BACK
TO WHAT HE REFERRED TO AS MYSTIC
CHORDS OF MEMORY. WHICH STRETCH
FROM EVERY PATRIOTS GRAVE. AND
HEARTH. AND HE ACTUALLY INWARDS
WAS SORT OF SAYING THAT IN THIS
TIME OF DIVISION. WHEN WE
REFLECT UPON THOSE WHO GAVE
THEIR ALL FOR OUR NATION'S
FOUNDING. EVEN THE TIME OF
CONFLICT. THERE ARE MYSTIC
CHORDS OF MEMORY THAT CONNECT US
TO THAT. AND ALMOST LIKE A HARP
IN TIME, THEY WILL BE THE BETTER
CHORDS OF OUR NATURE. WILL
PREVAIL. AND I THINK, UM. THE
LOSS OF THOSE FAMILIES OF A
LOVED ONE. IS INCALCULABLE. AND
CANNOT SEEMINGLY BE SURPASSED.
AND YET IN THE NATURE OF OUR
NATION. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
HAD SUCH PEOPLE WHO GAVE
THEMSELVES AS MORTAL PHRASE, THE
LAST FULL MEASURE OF DEVOTION.
THOSE PATRIOT GRAVES, WHO LAID
THE FOUNDATION FOR ALL THAT WE
ENJOY TODAY. OUR CONNECTION TO
THAT SORT OF DEVOTION TO OUR
NATIONAL IDEALS. WILL CARRY US
THROUGH THIS TIME. AS THE 16TH
PRESIDENT, KNIGHTED STATES WHO
ADORNS OUR CHAMBERS ENVISIONED.
AND SO I THINK, MY COLLEAGUE
FROM BAKERSFIELD FOR THIS
CARRYING THIS AND OUR HONORED
PURPLE HEART COLLEAGUE. URGENT.
I VOTE. THANK YOU, MR COOLEY.
MR. VOEPEL, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
MR SPEAKER MEMBERS SHIPMATES. I
CONSIDER YOU ALL SHIPMATES. I
WAS NAVY. SO HERE'S MY LITTLE
STORY ABOUT BLUE STAR. GOLD STAR
ANY KIND OF STAR. SO YOU'RE IN
COMBAT. WAKE UP IN THE MORNING.
YEAH, BASICALLY. THREE
ALTERNATIVES OF THE DAY AT AGE
19. NUMBER ONE. YOU KILLED
NUMBER TWO YOU LIVE. NUMBER
THREE. YOUR DISMEMBERED. NOW I
MADE A VERY MAJOR MISTAKE IN
VIETNAM. DOING TOO HEAVY COMBAT
TOURS. I WOULD ACTUALLY WRITE MY
MOTHER AND TELL HER THE TRUTH. I
SHOULD HAVE LIED TO HER. I
THOUGHT I WAS JUST REPORTING THE
WAR. AH! I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS
DARN NEAR GIVING HER A NERVOUS
BREAKDOWN. SO THE POINT I'M
MAKING HERE IS THE GOLD STAR
FAMILIES. ARE SWEATING IT OUT.
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME OR
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. YOU DON'T
KNOW WHEN YOU GET INTO A COMBAT
ZONE, YOU COULD BE GONE TOMORROW
OR A YEAR FROM NOW. YOU DON'T
KNOW. SO POINT I'M MAKING IS
THESE GOLD STAR FAMILIES? YOU
DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AND HOW
BADLY THEY SUFFERED. YOU JUST
DON'T KNOW. BECAUSE THE 19 AND
20 YEAR OLDS TEND TO TELL THE
TRUTH. AT MY AGE. NOW I KNOW HOW
TO LIE. I WISH I HAD LIED TO MY
MOTHER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU, MR GOEPEL, SEEING NO
OTHER MEMBERS SEEKING
RECOGNITION ON THE ITEM, MR

STORY IN THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT
MY FAMILY THAT BROUGHT MY FAMILY

IS ONE OF THOSE SHARED BY THE
MANY VICTIMS AND SURVIVORS OF
COMMUNISM. FOR OVER A CENTURY.
COMMUNISM. REGIMES HAVE REIGNED
OVER TERROR AND DESTRUCTION
ACROSS THE WAR IN PLACES LIKE
RUSSIA. EASTERN EUROPE. CHINA
VIETNAM, CUBA, NORTH KOREA AND
CAMBODIA. NOTORIOUS BIG FIGURES
SUCH AS CAR MARKS JOSEPH STALIN.
VLADIMIR LENIN. MOUSE, A DOME.
OKAY. I'M IN. AND POPE. AH! ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF
MORE THAN 100 MILLION PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD. THINK ABOUT
THAT 100 MILLION PEOPLE, MEN.
WOMAN CHILDREN. ELDER. MENTALLY
ILL. THE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY
DISABLED, POLITICAL AND
RELIGIOUS DISSIDENT. ARTIST IS.
AND INTELLECTUALS. NO ONE WAS
SPARED FROM PROSECUTION.
INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE ROBBED OF
THEIR HUMANITY AND SUBJECTED TO
THE MOST UNSPEAKABLE CRUELTY.
THE PERSONAL TESTIMONY, VICTIMS
AND HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION
PROVIDED HEARTBREAKING DETAILS
ABOUT THE CRUELTY INFLICTED
DON'T DAILY EVENTS LIKE THE
GREAT LEAP FORWARD IN CHINA. THE
HALLOW, THE MORE IN THE UKRAINE.
AND THE GULAGS OF THE USSR AND
THE KILLING FIELDS IN THE IN
CAMBODIA. HR 116 DECLARES
NOVEMBER 7TH AS VICTIMS OF
COMMUNISM DAY IN MEMORY OF THE
OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE WHO HAVE
FORMED VICTIM TO COMMUNIST
REGIMES ACROSS THE WORLD. AND
OVER A BILLION PEOPLE WHO
CURRENTLY LIVE UNDER REGIME. IN
1993 DUNANIMOUS ACT OF
CONGRESS. THE VICTIMS OF
COMMUNISM MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
WAS CREATED. WITH THE PURPOSE OF
FUNDRAISING AND BUILDING A
MEMORIAL TO HONOR THE MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE WHO FELL VICTIM TO
COMMUNIST REGIMES. ON JUNE 12

THE VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM
MEMORIAL IN WASHINGTON, D C WAS
DEDICATED BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W
. BUSH INSCRIPTION ON THE
MEMORIAL READS TO THE MORE THAN
100 MILLION VICTIMS OF COMMUNISM
AND TO THOSE WHO LOVE LIBERTY.
THE FREEDOM INDEPENDENCE OF ALL
CAPTIVE NATIONS AND PEOPLE. MY
OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I'VE
KNOWN AND MET MANY VICTIMS AND
SURVIVORS. COMMUNISM HAVE BEEN
VERY FORTUNATE TO MAKE THEIR
HOME HERE IN THE UNITED STATES,
AND I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
LIVE IN A FREE COUNTRY. TODAY
I'M PROUD TO HAVE STEVEN SCOTT'S
OF UKRAINE. UKRAINIAN AMERICAN
HOUSE JOINING THE GALLERY. BYE.
BY AN AND ALSO JOINING THE
GALLERY WITH ALEX NEVSKY. HERE
ON BEHALF OF THE MANY OPPRESSED
PEOPLE IN UKRAINE AND AROUND THE
WORLD WHEN WE STAND UNITED
WITHIN OPPOSITION OF THE TYRANNY
OF COMMUNISM, REGIMES, THE STORY
OF STEPHEN SCOTT AND HIS FAMILY
AND ALEX TO NEVSKY ARE SIMILAR
TO THOSE OF MANY UKRAINIANS WHO
RESETTLED IN CALIFORNIA AND
ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AFTER
ESCAPING THE SOVIET UNION AND
FLEEING FROM HARASSMENT AND
PROSECUTION. SCOTT'S FAMILY FACE
RELIGIOUS PROSECUTION AND
WEHRMACHT CRITICAL AND THREATEN
WOULD CORRECTIVE LABOR. OR
PSYCHOLOGICAL HOSPITALS FROM
TREATMENT FROM WHICH NO ONE
RETURNED. STEPHEN THE ELDERS OF
10 CHILDREN IN THE SCOTS
HOUSEHOLD WAS BULLIED FOR HIS
REFUSAL TO JOIN THE LOCAL YOUTH
COMMUNIST ORGANIZATION, KGB
AGENTS WERE TERRORIZED THEIR
MOTHER. AND TO AND PREVENT TAKE
AWAY HER CHILDREN BECAUSE SHE
WOULDN'T STOP PRACTICING HER
FAITH. BUT YOU'RE. THE GENET SKI
FAMILY FACE THE SAME ORDEAL AS A
SCOTT'S FAMILY AND MANY OTHERS
IN UKRAINE AND THROUGHOUT THE
USSR. BEFORE COMING TO THE
UNITED STATES. ALEX FAMILY WAS
IMPRISONED TWICE FOR PRACTICING
HIS FAITH. THANKFULLY HIS FAMILY
MANY OTHERS WERE ABLE TO FLEE TO
THE SAFE HABER HARBOR OF A FREE
NATION. IN CALIFORNIA ALONE. WE
HAVE OVER HALF A MILLION
VIETNAMESE REFUGEES. AND OVER
TWO MILLION IN THE UNITED
STATES. LIKE THEM, MY FAMILY.
WAS MOST HALF OF MY RELATIVES
DIED EITHER. FIGHTING. IN THE
VIETNAM WAR ARE DYING OF
STARVATION, OR WE'RE JUST T THE
WRONG PLACE WHEN THE BATTLES WAS
HAPPENING. MY FATHER AND MY
UNCLE BOTH SERVED IN THE SOUTH
VIETNAM ARMY. MY UNCLE. AN
OFFICER WAS EXECUTED DAYS BEFORE
THE SAIGON FELL. THESE STORIES
FROM VICTIMS. I HEAR A LOT AND
THEY'RE HEARTBREAKING. I WASN'T
WITNESSED TO THESE KIND OF
STORIES. BUT AS I'VE GROWN UP
AND HEARD FROM MANY, MANY
VICTIMS WITHIN THE VIETNAMESE
COMMUNITY. IT'S HEARTBREAKING.
AND THE PAIN THAT THEY STILL GO
THROUGH TO THIS DAY. THE
STRENGTH OF THE SURVIVORS AND
THE WORDS OF THIS RESOLUTION,
WHICH SHOULD SERVE AS A SOLEMN
REMINDER OF THE CHALLENGE THAT
OUR NATION AND AROUND THE WORLD
FACES AT HOME AND ABROAD. WE
MUST LISTEN TO THE STORIES OF
THESE VICTIMS OF THESE COMMUNIST
REGIMES THAT STRIPPED AND
DEPRIVED THEM OF THEIR RIGHTS
AND FREEDOMS. WE MUST LEARN FROM
THE MEMORIES OF THE 100 MILLION
PEOPLE ACROSS THE WORLD WHO HAVE
DIED AT THE HANDS OF COMMUNIST.
WE MUST REAFFIRM OUR COMMITMENT
TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE THE
VALUES OF FREEDOM, LIBERTY AND
DEMOCRACY FOR GENERATIONS TO
COME. ON BEHALF OF THE MEMORY OF
OVER 100 MILLION VICTIMS OF
COMMUNISM AND I HAVE ON BEHALF
OF THE BRAVE SURVIVORS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR.
WHEN MR NAZARIAN YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I ALSO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF HR. 11 11
SICK 116. I APPRECIATE THAT. MY
COLLEAGUE FROM ORANGE COUNTY HAS
BROUGHT THIS MEASURE FORWARD AS
A GRANDSON OF SURVIVORS OF
SIBERIAN WORK CAMPS. UM YOU
KNOW, WE CAN DEBATE AND
ACADEMICS CAN DEBATE ALL THEY
WANT, WHETHER COMMUNISM OR OTHER
FORMS OF GOVERNMENT CAN ACTUALLY
WORK OR NOT. BUT WHAT WE'VE SEEN
AS HUMAN BEINGS IS THAT WHEN
DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, DIFFERENT
REGIMES HAVE IMPLEMENTED
COMMUNISM. IT HASN'T WORKED. AND
ITS LEAD TO TYRANNY. AND MASS
CONTROL OF. INDIVIDUALS IN A
COUNTRY WHICH IS ALSO LED TO
CONTINUOUS WAR, FAMINE AND
HARDSHIPS OVER GENERATIONS. WHAT
STARTED OUT AS A GOOD IDEA?
MAYBE AFTER THE 1917 REVOLUTION
UH, CAN TOOK CONTRIBUTES TO
HOSTILITIES TILL TODAY. IN FACT
, THE VERY WAR THAT WE SAW IN
ARMENIA BETWEEN AZERBAIJAN AND
ARMENIA EMANATED FROM 1921.
BECAUSE IN 1921. WHEN LENIN AND
STALIN WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW ARE THEY GOING TO CONTROL
ALL THESE DIFFERENT COUNTRY,
INDIVIDUALS AND INDIGENOUS
PEOPLES THAT HAVE NOTHING IN
COMMON UNDER ONE BANNER OF
COMMUNISM? THEY'RE GONNA DIVIDE
AND CONQUER. AND SO THEY TOOK
LENS FROM ARMENIA GAVE IT TO
AZERBAIJAN CLEANSE FROM
TATARSTAN GAVE IT TO NEIGHBORING
AREA TOOK LENS FROM BELARUS GAVE
IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE. AND SO THEY
CREATED SO MANY SCHISMS AND
CHALLENGES IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN
CONTROL OVER THEM. 90 YEARS
LATER. WE'RE STILL DEALING WITH
THOSE EFFECTS AS WE'RE SEEING IT
RIGHT NOW IN UKRAINE AS WELL. SO
FAILED IDEAS IF THEY WERE GOOD
AT SOME POINT MAY HAVE WORKED,
BUT WE'VE SEEN THAT HUMANITY CAN
IMPLEMENT SOME OF THESE IDEAS,
SO I STAND IN SUPPORT OF MY
COLLEAGUES. BILL HR. 1116 THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR KAZARIAN.

MEMBERS I RISE TO PRESENT SB 11
55, WHICH WOULD ENACT FRAMEWORK
FOR PROCESSING TIME LIMITED
DEMAND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF
OCCURRENCES THAT ARE COVERED BY
INSURANCE POLICIES, A TIME
LIMITED DEMAND AS A SETTLEMENT
OFFER MADE BY A CLAIMANT TO THE
INSURER OF A DEFENDANT EARLY IN
THE LITIGATION PROCESS. AS THE
NAME IMPLIES, THE SETTLEMENT
OFFER OFTEN COMES WITH A TIME
LIMIT. IF DONE CORRECTLY, AND
HAVE DONE FAIRLY A TIME LIMITED
DEMAND CAN HELP THE PARTIES
REACH AN EARLY SETTLEMENT AND
REDUCE LITIGATION COSTS
BENEFITING BOTH THE CLAIMANT AND
THE INSURED, GIVEN THE COMPLEX
INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED TO
CONCLUDE A SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
, INSURANCE COMPANIES NEED THE
APPROPRIATE TIME TIMEFRAME TO
INVESTIGATE A CLAIM BY GATHERING
RELEVANT FACTS AND DOCUMENTS.
UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAS BECOME A
LITIGATION TACTIC TO PRESSURE
SETTLEMENT WITHOUT ALLOWING
SUFFICIENT TIME TO FULLY
INVESTIGATE ACCLAIM AND TO SET
UP THE INSURER FOR BAD FAITH
LAWSUIT. SB 11 55 WOULD CREATE
REASONABLE PARAMETERS AND
GUIDELINES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED
WHEN A TIME LIMITED DEMAND IS
MADE TO AN INSURANCE COMPANY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.

SOCIAL SECURITY IS A KEY SOURCE
OF INCOME FOR SENIORS, VETERANS
, WOMEN, CHILDREN AND THOSE
LIVING WITH DISABILITIES. SOCIAL
SECURITY ALSO PROVIDES SURVIVOR
BENEFITS TO THOSE WHO HAVE LOST
SPOUSES OR CHILDREN WHOSE
PARENTS HAVE DIED, FOR EXAMPLE,
FROM COVID. BY 2034. IT'S
ESTIMATED THAT SOCIAL SECURITY
WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO PAY OUT 78%
OF THE BENEFITS. THE SOCIAL
SECURITY RECIPIENT IS ENTITLED
TO SCR 11 CALLS ON CONGRESS TO
PASS HR 57 TO 3. UPDATE AND
EXPAND SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS
AND IMPROVE THE FINANCING OF
SOCIAL SECURITY TO ENSURE THIS
IMPORTANT PROGRAM CAN SERVE AS
IT HAS BEEN PROMISED. THE BILL
IN CONGRESS WILL ADDRESS THE
FISCAL HEALTH OF SOCIAL SECURITY
BY REQUIRING THOSE WHO HAVE
ANNUAL WAGES OF $400,000 AND
ABOVE TO CONTRIBUTE AT THE 6.2%
RATE THAT IS THE SAME RATE AS
SPOKES, EARNING 147,000 AND
BELOW. COLLEAGUES YESTERDAY WAS

SENATE BILL 9 60 BY SENATOR
SKINNER AND OTHERS IN APPALACHIA
REPUBLIC EMPLOYMENT MR VONTAZE,
YOU MAY OPEN. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. TODAY I RISE TO PRESENT
SENATE BILL 9 60 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR NANCY SKINNER UNDER HIS
EXISTING, LIKE CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS WITH LITERALLY
RECOGNIZED LEGAL WORK STATUS CAN
BE LAWYERS, DOCTORS AND HOLD
MANY OTHER PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS
LICENSES. HOWEVER UNDER CURRENT
LAW, THE SAME INDIVIDUALS CANNOT
SERVE AS PEACE OFFICERS, ONLY
CITIZENS AND LAWFUL PERMANENT
RESIDENTS CAN DO SO. INDEED IN
RECENT YEARS, POLICE DEPARTMENTS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
HAVE TRAINED NONCITIZEN CADETS.
WHO SUCCESSFULLY GRADUATE FROM
THERE. POLICE ACADEMIES, MANY U.
C CAMPUSES WANTED TO HIRE THESE
GRADUATES TO SERVE IN THEIR
POLICE DEPARTMENTS, BUT CANNOT
DO SO DUE TO THESE PROVISIONS OF
LAW. SP 9 60 SOLVES THIS PROBLEM
BY ALLOWING NON CITIZENS WITH
FULL FEDERALLY RECOGNIZED LEGAL
WORK AUTHORIZATION TO SERVICE
PEACE OFFICERS. THIS WOULD
INCLUDE INDIVIDUALS WITH
EMPLOYMENT VISAS, DACA
RECIPIENTS, ASYLUM RECIPIENTS
AND REFUGEES. I WANT TO BE CLEAR
ABOUT US BEING 9 60. THIS DOES

MS CERVANTES MOVES THE CALL.
MOVING TO FILE ADAM 305 SB 6 16.
BYE, MISS RUBIO. CLARK, WAIT.
SENATE BILL 6 16 BY SENATOR
RUBIO AND OTHERS INOCULATING THE
CHILD CUSTODY. RUBIO YOU MAY
OPEN. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I'M PROUD TO PRESENT SP
616, WHICH WILL STRENGTHEN
PROTECTIONS FOR CHILDREN BY
PRIORITIZING CHILD SAFETY IN
FAMILY COURT. THIS BILL WOULD
REQUIRE CRITICAL TRAINING FOR
JUDGES AND OTHER DEEM
APPROPRIATE THAT PERFORM DUTIES
AND FAMILY LAW MATTERS. IT WOULD
ALSO LIMIT THE COURT'S ABILITY
TO PROVIDE COURT ORDERED
REUNIFICATION PROGRAMS THAT
CONTINUE TO BE HARMFUL TO
CHILDREN. S P 6 16, KNOWN AS
PICKY AS LAW IS NAMED AFTER A
FIVE YEAR OLD BOY WHO WAS KILLED
BY HIS FATHER IN MY DISTRICT
BACK IN APRIL OF 2017, BECAUSE
MOTHER ANA ESTEVEZ FOUGHT HARD
AND FAMILY COURT TO PROTECT HER
CHILD FROM HER ABUSIVE EX
HUSBAND. AND FATHER OF PEAKY.
DESPITE HER EFFORTS, THE COURT
REFUSED TO STOP VISITATIONS
LEADING TO HER SON'S TRAGIC
MURDER. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE
TOO MANY STORIES LIKE THIS ONE,
ACCORDING TO THE CENTER FOR
JUDICIAL EXCELLENCE THERE HAVE
BEEN OVER 859 CHILDREN MURDERED
BY AN ABUSIVE PARENT DURING A
DIVORCE OR SEPARATION. TO
ADDRESS THIS. A B 616 MAKES
SEVERAL CRITICAL CHANGES,
INCLUDING TRAINING FOR JUDGES
AND OTHERS DEEMED APPROPRIATE%
THAT PERFORMED DUTIES AND FAMILY
COURT MATTERS AND LIMITING THE
COURT'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE COURT
ORDERED REUNIFICATION PROGRAMS
THAT HAVE BEEN HARMFUL TO THE
CHILD. TWO CHILDREN IN YEARS
PAST. IT'S CRITICAL MEASURE WILL
HELP CALIFORNIA ALIGN WITH
FEDERAL PROVISIONS WITH THE
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT, AND
WE'LL START CALIFORNIA ON THE
PATHWAY TO RECEIVE NEW CRITICAL
FEDERAL FUNDING TO FURTHER
PROTECT VICTIMS OF CHILD ABUSE
AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. THIS BILL
HAS RECEIVED UNANIMOUS
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT. AND AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE AND REQUEST
THE FIRST ROLE BE OPEN FOR CO
AUTHORS. THANK YOU. THIS IS A
SETUP BILL SO CALLED CO AUTHORS
AT THIS TIME, MISS GARCIA, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED UH, THANK YOU
MEMBERS. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAINT GABRIEL FOR
PRESENTING THIS BILL AND I WANT
TO START OFF BY SHARING MY
CONDOLENCES TO HIS FAMILY. THIS
BILL IS A SMART BILL THAT'S LONG
OVERDUE. IT WILL PROTECT
SURVIVORS AND CHILDREN IN TWO
WAYS. FIRST THE BILL WILL
ESTABLISH TRAINING FOR JUDGES TO
HELP THEM IDENTIFY THE MYSTIC
BALANCE AND CHILD ABUSE. AS MY
COLLEAGUE STATED BUT THE BILL
ALSO REQUIRE THE COURTS TO
UPDATE THEIR PROCEDURES TO
ENSURE COURTS RESPOND TO CHILD
ABUSE, TRAUMA AND DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE, AND IT WILL HELP DRAW
DOWN FEDERAL FUNDS TO ASSIST AND
IMPLEMENTING THESE NEW
PROTECTIONS FOR VICTIMS AND
THEIR CHILDREN. A LOT IS GREAT,
BUT THE RESOURCES TO IMPLEMENT
THEM ARE ESSENTIAL. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR NOT
I VOTE. THANK YOU, MR GARCIA AND
MR LACKEY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS?
AYE. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
IMPORTANT BILL PRIORITIZING THE
SAFETY OF ABUSED AND NEGLECTED
CHILDREN. I BELIEVE THAT
MEASURES LIKE THIS ARE AMONG THE
MOST CRITICAL INVESTMENTS THAT
THE LEGISLATURE CAN MAKE. THE
LONGER WE LEAVE CHILDREN IN
HOMES WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. THE
MORE LIKELY THEY ARE TO
EXPERIENCE. WHAT IS CALLED
ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES
ARE ACES. AND THESE ACES LEAD
CHILDREN IN DEVELOPING
ALTERNATIVE RESPONSES TO STRESS.
WHICH MANIFESTS LATER IN LIFE
HAS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES AND
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. THESE
ARE THE ROOT CAUSES OF THE
CYCLICAL NATURE OF ABUSE. IN MY
DISTRICT. UNFORTUNATELY WE'VE
LOST TOO MANY TOO SOON. GABRIEL
FERNANDEZ, WHO IS EIGHT YEARS
OLD. DIED FROM ABUSE THAT
AMOUNTED TO ACTUAL TORTURE.
ANTHONY AVALOS, WHO WAS 10 YEARS
OLD AND NOAH QUATTRO, WHO WAS
JUST FOUR YEARS OLD, DIED OF
SIMILAR PREVENTABLE
CIRCUMSTANCES. WE HAVE A LOT TO
A LOT OF WORK TO DO. IN OUR
MISSION TO DECONSTRUCT HATE
WHILE UPLIFTING THE STRENGTH OF
OUR FAMILIES. THIS BILL IS A
GREAT AND SIGNIFICANT STEP IN
THE JOURNEY TOWARD PROGRESS. I
STAND WITH THE AUTHOR AND FLOOR
MANAGER AND PRIORITIZING OUR
MOST VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND
URGE YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS ITEM
TODAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
LACKEY. MR. GIBSON YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE
ALSO TO LEND MY SUPPORT AND
ELEVATE MY VOICE IN THIS SPACE.
UM I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR.
BOTH RUBIO SISTERS, UH, VOTE
BEFORE BRINGING THIS GOOD
MEASURE BEFORE US. IT HAS A LOT
OF GOOD INFORMATION IN IT, BUT
ALSO THE TRAINING. UM I HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE MOTHER.
UM, AND TO HEAR HER STORY. UM,
IT'S HEART WRENCHING. UM, AND TO
REALIZE WHAT HE DID. AND WHY HE
WANTED TO GET BACK AT HER. AND
IT IS CHRONICLED THAT. BECAUSE
HE KNEW THAT HE THAT SHE LOVED
THAT CHILD AND THE ONLY WAY THAT
HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN BACK IS TO
DO WHAT HE DID TOWARDS HER. AND
THAT'S I MEAN AS ANY PARENT OR
MOTHER OR FATHER. UM YOU CAN'T
HELP BUT FEEL, YOU KNOW, A SENSE
OF JUST PAYING WITH THAT MOTHER
EXPERIENCED AND THE BRUTAL WAY
THAT HE TOOK HIS OWN SON'S LIFE.
UM, THIS IS THE RIGHT MEASURE.
THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE
. THEY ABSOLUTELY NEED HELP AND
CERTAINLY DURING A DOMESTIC
DISPUTE SHOULD NOT BE A WAY TO
PULL YOUR CHILDREN INTO IT AT
ALL. SO I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR, UM, AND THE FLOOR JOCKEY
FOR BRINGING THIS MEASURE
FORWARD. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
A STRONG I VOTE FOR ALL PARENTS
FOR ALL CHILDREN. THANK YOU. MR
GIBSON'S SAYING NO OTHER MEMBERS

INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES ARE OFTEN
EXPOSED TO THE OUTDOORS,
ALLOWING RAIN TO PICK UP A
VARIETY OF HIGHLY HAZARDOUS.
POLLUTANTS AND WASHED THEM
DIRECTLY INTO OUR WATERWAYS.
EXISTING LAW ALREADY REQUIRES
INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES TO OBTAIN
AN INDUSTRIAL GENERAL PERMIT TO
COMPLY WITH FEDERAL WATER
QUALITY REQUIREMENTS. HOWEVER
THESE CHILD THESE ARE CHALLENGED
. THERE ARE CHALLENGES WITH OUR
EXISTING STORMWATER REGULATIONS
SINCE BUSINESSES TYPICALLY SELF
REGISTERED THROUGH THE STATE
WATER BOARDS ONLINE PERMITTING
PLATFORM TO OBTAIN COVERAGE. AS
A RESULT, THERE ARE TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF FACILITIES SUBJECT
TO WATER QUALITY STANDARDS THAT
ARE NOT ENROLLED IN THE STATE'S
STORMWATER COMPLIANCE PROGRAM.
THIS IS WHY IN 2019, THE
LEGISLATURE PASSED SB 12 5 TO
REQUIRE INDUSTRIAL FACILITIES TO
DEMONSTRATE STORMWATER
COMPLIANCE WHEN APPLYING FOR OR
RENEWING A BUSINESS LICENSE WITH
THE RESPECTIVE CITY OR COUNTY.
THE STATE SAW SUCCESS WITH THE S
P 205 FRAMEWORK AND REGISTERED
2000 NEW ENROLLEES. HOWEVER THE

VALUED BECAUSE HE MEANT IT. IT
CAME FROM HIS HEART AND PEOPLE

THOSE PEOPLE WHO PUT EVERYONE

LEGACIES HE LEAVES BEHIND WAS

DIFFICULT TIMES. WE CALL ON OUR
OFFICERS TO DO? LIFE SAVING
WORK. AND SOMETIMES THEY HAVE TO
SEE AND DO THINGS. THAT CREATE.
