THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS.
THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL DAY FOR
ME. MANY MANY TIMES. YOU GUYS
MAKE FUN OF THE PLACE. I GREW
UP. I MEAN, YOU CALL IT BY THE
WRONG NAME. YOU CALL IT NICHOLS.
OR NICHOLAUS. IT'S EAST,
NICHOLAS. AND THIS IS A GREAT
DAY BECAUSE MAYBE YOU DIDN'T
KNOW THIS. BUT A GAL FROM
NICHOLAS HAS BEEN RUNNING THIS
PLACE FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
THAT'S DEBORAH GRAVER. DEBORAH
GREW UP IN NICHOLAS, CALIFORNIA
IN A SMALL DAIRY FARM WHERE SHE
MILKED COWS TWICE A DAY. BEFORE
AND AFTER SCHOOL. AND DROVE
SILENCE TRUCK DURING THE SUMMERS
WITH THEIR FAMILIES HARVESTING
BUSINESS. AND SHE HAS A TRULY
AMAZING FAMILY, THE HAY MOWERS
AND THERE JOINING US HERE THIS
MORNING IN THE BACK. MOM AND DAD
WORKED REALLY HARD AND DEBORAH
WAS ALWAYS LOOKING OUT. FOR THE
OTHER SIBLINGS WHILE ALSO DOING
HER SHARE OF THE WORK. I LIKE TO
SAY DEBRA AND I HAVE HISTORY.
GRANDFATHERS WERE REALLY GOOD
FRIENDS. UM AND IN AND OUT OF
LIFE. WE'D WE'D COME INTO EACH
OTHER'S FAMILIES, BUT I REALLY
GOT TO KNOW DEBRA WHEN I CAME
HERE AS AN ASSEMBLY MEMBER. AND
TO MY DELIGHT. FOUND HER AS A
CEO. THE RULES COMMITTEE. AND
RUNNING THIS GREAT ASSEMBLY. YOU
KNOW WHEN YOU GROW UP IN A SMALL
TOWN LIKE DEBRA AND I DID YOU
LEARN TO, I THINK VERY IMPORTANT
THINGS. ONE IS THAT YOU ALWAYS
LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. AND TO
THAT YOU. YOU DEDICATE YOURSELF
TO DOING YOUR BEST AND WORKING
HARD. AND DEBORAH HAS TAKEN THAT
THROUGHOUT HER CAREER. AND THIS
GREAT BODY 36 YEARS AGO, SHE
CAME INTO THIS. ASSEMBLY WHEN
THERE WAS NO COMPUTERS, ONLY
TYPEWRITERS. SMOKING INDOORS WAS
LEGAL. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO
COMMITTEE HEARINGS. IN SESSION
ON THE SQUAWK BOX. UNTIL RADIO.
THERE WAS NO TELEVISION. AT THAT
TIME THERE WAS TELEVISION, BUT
THEY JUST WEREN'T TELEVISED.
THERE WASN'T THAT LONG AGO. UM
AND IT WAS ALSO A VERY MALE
DOMINATED ARENA. UM DEBORAH CAME
HERE. SHE WAS WORKING IN A
SECRETARIAL POOL AT THE TIME AS
I UNDERSTAND IT, AND SHE PUT IN
FOR A JOB HERE AT THE CAPITOL
AND THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER
TURNING IN HER RESUME, SHE GOT A
CALL. AND SHE DROVE OVER HERE SO
FAST THAT SHE ACTUALLY GOT
PULLED OVER AND GOT TICKETED.
BUT I C H P OFFICER SHE COULDN'T
GET HERE FAST ENOUGH. UM
STARTING HER JOB HERE IN THE
ASSEMBLY DOUBLED HER PAY AT THAT
TIME, AND IT WAS A IT WAS A
CAREER PATH FOR HER FAMILY. UM
AND FOR HER PRIOR TO BECOMING
CEO, MANY YOU KNOW DEBRA'S HELD
PRACTICALLY EVERY POSITION. AND
THIS BODY, WHETHER IT'S A
COMMITTEE SECRETARY SECRETARY
LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANT COMMITTEE
CONSULTANT DISTRICT FIELD
REPRESENTATIVE CHIEF OF STAFF,
AND THAT IS WHY SHE'S BEEN SUCH
A GREAT CEO FOR US. BECAUSE SHE
KNOWS ABOUT EACH AND EVERY
MEMBER AND EVERY STAFF MEMBER
HERE AND THE THINGS THAT THEY GO
THROUGH. SHE KNOWS WHAT IT'S
LIKE TO BE A WORKING MOM. AND
HER PRIDE AND JOY IS HERE.
JORDAN'S WHO PRETTY MUCH GREW UP
IN THIS GREATASSEMBLY AS WELL.
UM AND YOU KNOW, SEEING THAT AND
WORKING THROUGH THE TRIALS AND
TRIBULATIONS OF A WORKING MOM.
DEBORAH IS ALWAYS SET OUT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THIS BODY
ADDRESSES THOSE THINGS, AND
THAT'S ONE OF HER GREAT
LEGACIES. UM. DEBORAH WAS
INSTRUMENTAL IN KEEPING THIS
PLACE GOING. THROUGH COVID. AND
YOU IMAGINE FOR A SECOND. I
THINK YOU GUYS CAN TRYING TO
JUGGLE THE DEMANDS OF THIS
DIVERSE BODY. AND THE MANY
DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS ABOUT HOW
TO RUN THINGS DURING COVID. I
CAN'T EVEN I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE.
BUT DEBORAH HELPED BRING US
BACK. AND SHE MADE SURE THAT
THIS INSTITUTION WHICH IS SO
VITAL TO DEMOCRACY. THE
SEPARATION OF POWERS THAT THIS
INSTITUTION WAS STILL RUNNING
AND OPERATIONAL. THE LAWMAKING
PROCESS CONTINUED BECAUSE OF THE
GREAT WORK OF DEBORAH GRAVER.
DEBORAH HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAIR TO
BOTH SIDES TO BOTH PARTIES. I'VE
ALWAYS FELT THAT I COULD GO TO
DEBRA FOR WHEN I HAD ANY KIND OF
CONCERN, AND SHE'S ALWAYS TAKEN
CARE OF BOTH REPUBLICAN AND
DEMOCRATIC STAFF. I KNOW THAT
DEBRA IS VERY GRATEFUL. TO THIS
INSTITUTION AND THE PEOPLE THAT
SHE'S WORKED WITH. THE PEOPLE
THAT HELPED HER AND GUIDED HER
AND WALKED HER THROUGH THE PATH
OF HIS CAREER. SHE SAYS THEY
WERE A SOURCE OF GREAT
INSPIRATION. THEY HELPED ADVANCE
HER CAREER, BUT MORE
IMPORTANTLY, THEY MADE HER A
BETTER PERSON. HAVING KNOWN
THEM. SHE COULD HAVE RETIRED
YEARS AGO. BUT SHE TOOK THE CEO
JOB BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE. AND MAKE THIS
INSTITUTION A BETTER PLACE TO
WORK. AND SHE DEFINITELY HAS.
SHE ALSO HAD JORDANS BLESSING.
AND AS IT TURNED OUT, SHE WAS
ABLE TO JUGGLE THIS JOB. AND
SPENDING QUALITY TIME WITH HER
DAUGHTER. AND NOW HER
GRANDDAUGHTER, HAZEL. YOU STILL
HAVE A LOT MORE TIME TO SPEND
WITH AS WELL. HAZEL IS WITH US
THIS MORNING. ALSO DEBORAH HAS
ALWAYS LIVED BY THE FOLLOWING
PRINCIPLES BE KIND. HAVE A
STRONG WORTH ETHIC BE
COMPASSIONATE. BE GENEROUS. TAKE
THE HIGH ROAD. DON'T BURN
BRIDGES. KEEP YOUR WORD. BE A
PROBLEM SOLVER. AND DON'T BE
AFRAID. ASK FOR HELP. IT'S TRULY
AN HONOR TO BE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE
DEBRA TODAY TODAY, THIS
INSTITUTION IS BETTER BECAUSE OF
HER. AND I WISH. THIS OLD GAL
FROM NICOLAS THE BEST OF LUCK ON
HER RETIREMENT.
MS PREZ, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. LET ME
BEGIN BY SAYING SOMETHING I
RARELY SAID ON THIS FLOOR. I'D
LIKE TO ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH
THE COMMENTS OF THE REPUBLICAN
LEADER. I'M HERE NOT ONLY ON MY
OWN BEHALF, BUT OVER THE WEEKEND
SPOKE WITH EVERY SPEAKER THAT
SERVED WITH DEBORAH OVER THE
LAST 26 YEARS, BECAUSE THAT'S
WHEN I FIRST MET HER. SO I BRING
GREETINGS ON BEHALF OF FORMER
SPEAKERS THEORY GOES TO
HERTZBERG, WHO'S HERE WITH US
TODAY. NUNEZ BASS AND SENATE
PRESIDENT PRO TEM ATKINS, WHO'S
HERE WITH US TODAY AS WELL. IT
IS AMAZING TO HAVE LEADERS OF
BOTH HOUSES WHEN WE HAVE PRO
THAMES, UH, STEINBERG AND BURTON
WITH US AS WELL. AND IT REALLY
SPEAKS TO WOULDN'T AMAZING FORCE
OR THIS INSTITUTION AND FOR THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA AND DEBORAH
GRAVERT HAS BEEN THE ONE THING
THAT THE OTHER SPEAKERS WILL
TELL YOU. OR THEY REALLY WON'T
TELL YOU, BUT THEY CAN'T
CONTRADICT ME BECAUSE THEY'RE
NOT HERE IS I WAS DEBORAH'S
FAVORITE. I FIND IT APPROPRIATE.
THAT WHEN THE STATE CAPITAL IS
UNDERGOING A MASSIVE
RECONSTRUCTION, WE'RE HERE TO
SAY GOODBYE TO SOMEBODY WHO'S
BEEN ONE OF THE TRUE PILLARS OF
THIS INSTITUTION. AND I MEAN
THAT TWO WAYS. FIRST, THERE'S
DEBRA'S ATLAS LIKE ROLE AS CEO.
THE WEIGHT OF RUNNING THE
INSTITUTION AND ALLOWING THE
PEOPLE'S BUSINESS TO GO FORWARD
IS ONE THAT IS CARRIED AS MUCH
BY THE CEO IS BY THE SPEAKER.
AND SHE SHOULDERED THE
RESPONSIBILITY IS IMPECCABLY
THROUGH THE DIFFICULT TIMES OF
THE PANDEMIC THROUGH THE DAY TO
DAY TIMES BEFORE AND THROUGH
THESE AMAZING MOMENTS AS WE
BUILD A NEW LANDMARK TO SERVE
GENERATIONS OF VISITORS,
LEGISLATORS AND STAFF BUT
DEBORAH GRAVERT HAS BEEN ANOTHER
TYPE OF INSTITUTIONAL PILLAR IN
THE ASSEMBLY. AS YOU'VE HEARD,
SHE IS REALLY SOMEBODY THAT
EMBODIES SO MUCH OF WHAT WE LOOK
FOR IN LEADING THE DAY TO DAY
OPERATIONS OF THIS INSTITUTION,
AND IT WAS WHY OUR CHOICE OF HER
CEO WAS SO IMPORTANT. AS A
STAFFER AS A CHIEF OF STAFF AS A
COMMITTEE CONSULTANT, LOOKING AT
EVERY ASPECT OF THE WORK WE DO
ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA. DEBORAH HAS A LOVE
AND RESPECT FOR THIS INSTITUTION
AND A DEVOTION AND COMMITMENT TO
THE WORK THAT WE MUST DO
TOGETHER ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA THAT LEVEL OF
KNOWLEDGE AND COMMITMENT REALLY
SPEAK SO WELL OF HER AND SO WELL
OF THIS INSTITUTION. HAVING
STAFF IN THIS BUILDING THAT KNOW
HOW TO RUN. THE PEOPLE'S
BUSINESS IS INVALUABLE. AND I
WOULD ENCOURAGE ALL STAFF WERE
WATCHING TODAY TO FOLLOW.
DEBRA'S EXAMPLE NOT ONLY LEARN
ALL THAT YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT
THIS INSTITUTION, BUT TO STAY
AND PUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO WORK.
TO MAKE THIS INSTITUTION IN OUR
STATE BETTER AND BETTER.
DEBORAH. AFTER ALL OF THE
LENGTHY MEETINGS THAT WE HAD ON
THINGS AS MUNDANE AS FONT SIZE,
AND THE DAILY JOURNAL PARKING
SPACES FOR POOL CARS. I HOPE YOU
REALIZE I WASN'T MICROMANAGING.
I WAS JUST GETTING YOU
EMOTIONALLY PREPARED TO DEAL
WITH KEN COOLEY. SO DEBORAH. I
WANT TO JOIN ALL MY COLLEAGUES
AND ALL THE CURRENT MEMBERS IN
CONGRATULATING YOU ON YOUR
RETIREMENT. YOU REALLY ARE
INCREDIBLY APPRECIATED, AND YOUR
SERVICE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED.
AND MR COOLEY. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. COLLEAGUES IT'S A
GREAT HONOR TO STAND HERE ON THE
FLOOR AND HONOR OF DEBORAH
GRAVERT AND HER 36 YEAR CAREER
IN OUR INSTITUTION. UM WE'VE
ONLY HAD TWO LADIES WOMEN AS
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER IN
THE INSTITUTION. AND, UH,
HONESTLY, I WOULD SAY NO CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER HAS DEALT
WITH THE ARRAY OF THINGS. AND
FOREMOST, JUST THINKING ABOUT
COVID. BUT COVERED NOT REALLY,
JUST THROUGH THE LENS OF THE
PUBLIC HEALTH CHALLENGES OF
COVID. BUT WE ARE A PUBLIC BODY.
WE WERE A BODY THAT SORT OF
IMBUED WITH THE VALUES OF WHAT
MOST AMERICANS THINK OF IT.
ROBERT'S RULES OF ORDER, A
SYSTEM OF ORDERLY LISTING,
WORKING THROUGH ISSUES
EVERYONE'S VOICE GETTING HEARD.
TRYING TO TRYING TO RETAIN THOSE
VALUES DURING THE TIME OF COVID.
AND HELP US WORK THROUGH SYSTEMS
OF DOING THAT. YEAH HONESTLY,
WAS AN ONGOING REINVENTION OF
THE WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE. IN
REAL TIME. AMID GREAT STRESS.
AND UH, I NOTE THAT BECAUSE IT'S
SUCH A POSITIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT.
BUT I ALSO WANT TO LET EMPHASIS
ON THE WORD GREAT STRESS. EVERY
ASPECT OF SUPPORTING US IN OUR
WORK. DURING THE TIME OF COVID.
HAS BEEN. PAIN IN THE REAR.
MAYBE FOR US, BUT FOR DEBRA AND
HER TEAM KIND OF MOVING IT
FORWARD DEALING WITH CONSTANTLY
EXPLODING CIGARS, BUT THAT
PRESENTED WHAT EXTRAORDINARY
STRESS. AND HONESTLY, IT'S NOT
THE SORT OF STRESS YOU CAN
LEAVE. ON YOUR DESK WHEN YOU
WALK OUT OF WORK. SO I JUST WANT
TO SAY I'LL BEHALF OF EVERYONE
HERE, DEBORAH. WE ACKNOWLEDGE
YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. THIS
WHOLE IDEA, THOUGH, OF DEBORAH
DRAWING UPON HER 36 AMAZING YEAR
CAREER IN THE ASSEMBLY. AND
HELPING INSTITUTION THROUGH
CHANGE. NECESSITATED BY EVENTS
AND TÌM. I THINK THIS WILL BE
SEEN AS A HUGE LEGACY THAT SHE
LEAVES BEHIND. THERE WILL IN THE
COURSE OF TIME BE A VISITOR
CENTER. AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW,
WE GET TWO MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR
IN GOOD YEARS. AND THAT'S
SOMETHING REALLY GREW OUT OF.
EVEN QUÊ OF WHICH SHE HAS HELPED
SUPPORT THE JOINT RULES
COMMITTEE THAT'S WORK. UNDER
RICH GORDON, AND DURING MY
TENURE LIKEWISE, CALIFORNIANS
WILL BE ABLE TO START 1/10
STREET AND WALKED THE WHOLE
LENGTH OF THE PARK. NOT HAVE A
BARRIER OF ROADS. SO THIS LEGACY
OF REOPENING CAPITAL PARK FROM
10TH TO 15TH. IS REALLY A LEGACY
OF DEMOGRAPHERS TENURE. AS CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER. UM SHE
HAS DONE THAT ROLE FOR THE LAST
EIGHT YEARS. I REMEMBER WAY BACK
IN 2014 SITTING IN MY OFFICE ON
THE SECOND FLOOR. IT STARTED A
CONVERSATION WITH HER THAT SHE
WAS ALSO HAD WITH RICH GORDON
INVOLVED HOW WE MIGHT SEE SOME
DEVELOPMENT ON THE LOT AT 10TH
AND Ó. AND THAT WAS VERY, VERY
EARLY, BUT OLD. DON'T WE KNOW
HOW THAT LOCKE GOT DEVELOPED?
YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOING TO BE A
LEAD PLATINUM BUILDING THAT IS
SERVING US RIGHT NOW. SUPPORTING
INSTITUTION. UM AND, UH, OF
COURSE, YOU WORK FOR A LOT OF
MEMBERS. DICK FLOYD, DICK FLOYD.
WAS A FORMER CONSULTED TO THE
LEGENDARY RALPH DILLS.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S OAN RIGHT,
SHARING THE JOKE COMMITTEE. SHE
WORKED WITH DICK. AH SENATOR BOB
, AKA FRAN PAVLEY, JARED HUFFMAN
AND MR FRASER. SO QUITE A QUITE
A LONG LIST OF STORIED MEMBERS
THAT SHE WORKED WITH. UM AND SO
SHE SORT OF HAS LIVED THE LIFE
OF DEALING WITH CAPITAL STAFF
AND DISTRICT STAFF. AND TRYING
TO SUPPORT THE INSTITUTION MAIL
PROGRAMS AND ALL THOSE SORTS OF
THINGS, WHICH WE SORT OF TAKE
FOR GRANTED. SHE SORT OF CUT HER
TEETH ON ALL THOSE THINGS. UM
AND THERE'S A LOT OF PUBLIC
POLICY IN CALIFORNIA SHE'S BEEN
INSTRUMENTAL ON INCLUDING THE
MOTORCYCLE HELMET LAW. THE
ONGOING UPDATING OF THE
CALIFORNIA VIETNAM'S VETERAN
MEMORIAL OUT HERE IN THE PARK
THROUGH IT DOES THE DEATH OF
THOSE WHO ARE VIETNAM VETERANS
EACH YEAR. THERE WAS AN UPDATE
THAT HAPPENS. PROHIBITING THE
SALE OF PRODUCTS THAT HAVE HAD A
PRODUCT RECALL BECAUSE THEIR
HAZARDOUS CRYINALL GYMS TO HAVE
A E D S AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC
DEFIBRILLATORS. AND THE FIRST OF
THE NATION MEASURE REGULATE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS FROM
PASSENGER VEHICLES. SO SHE'S.
SHE'S KIND OF KEPT THE TRAINS
RUNNING ON TIME, BUT SHE'S
ACTUALLY PUT A LOT OF THOSE
TRAINS ON THE ROAD. SHE'S ON THE
ACTUAL PUBLIC POLICY WORK. UM
AND, UM THERE ARE SO MANY.
FAMILY MEMBERS HERE FOR HER. I'M
JUST GONNA UNDER THE BROAD.
HEADING OF FAMILY. I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE NUMBER ONE THAT IN
THE GALLERY, THERE'S FAMILY THAT
ARE JUST HAS YOUR CAREER HERE

PROFESSIONAL FAMILY. AH! FOR
SHARING HER WITH US. CARRIED HER
THROUGH THE TIMES. I JUST I
KNOW. AT THIS CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER ROLE.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THE TITLE,
BUT IT IS SUCH A LOAD TO CARRY.
SUCH AN INCREDIBLE LOAD TO CARRY
SO I PERSONALLY FEEL SHE WILL BE
MISSED. BUT SHE HAS EARNED.
CHANCE FOR SORT OF A BREAK GOING
TO OTHER THINGS. UM SHE WILL
DOUBTLESS CONTINUE TO SHARE HER
WISDOM. IN A MULTITUDE OF WAYS.
AH! BUT JUST A GREAT. OCCASION
TO HONOR HER ON THIS DAY. AS SHE
CONTEMPLATES HER RETIREMENT.
REFLECT UPON THE MULTITUDINOUS
WAYS IN WHICH HE'S TOUCHED THE
INSTITUTION. I HAVE FOR YOU,
DEBRA. A PIECE OF THE EAST STEPS
GRANITE YOU'LL BE MISSED.
ASSEMBLY THANKS YOU FOR YOUR 36
YEARS OF SERVICE.
MEMBERS. WE HAVE A LIST OF
DESIGNATED SPEAKERS. MR SPEAKER
HAS GIVEN ME THE GO AHEAD.
THERE'S AGUIAR-CURRY YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. AGUIAR-CURRY FROM MY
DESK IN THE REAR OF THE CHAMBER.
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TO
HONOR THE WORK OF DEBORAH
GRAVERT FOR THE CALIFORNIA STATE
ASSEMBLY. MOST OF US HAVE COME
TO THE ASSEMBLY ONLY KNOWING
DEBBIE DEBRA AS THE ASSEMBLY'S
CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
DEALING WITH ALL KINDS OF ISSUES
AFFECTING US MEMBERS AND STAFF.
BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT DEBRA
THE PERSON THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH
MORE THAN HAVING BEEN THE SECOND
WOMAN TO FILL THIS ROLE. DEBORAH
BEGAN A CAREER AT THE STATE
CAPITOL 1986 AS IT'S BEEN SAID
WHEN THE LEGISLATURE AND ITS
SENIOR STAFF FOR ALMOST ENTIRELY
MEN IN FACT, THE WOMAN'S CAUCUS
WAS ONLY A YEAR OLD. NEVER
STARTED HER CAREER AS A
COMMITTEE SECRETARY WHEN A WOMAN
WEARING PANTS TO WORK WITH A
BOLD, BOLD STATEMENT. IN FACT,
IT WOULD BE ANOTHER THREE YEARS
BEFORE SENATOR BECKY MORGAN
BECAME THE FIRST WOMAN SENATOR
TO WEAR PANTS ON THE SENATE
FLOOR. EVEN IN THIS ENVIRONMENT
, DEBRA MOVED FROM COMMITTEE
SECRETARY TO CHIEF OF STAFF
QUICKLY WELL, SHE AND HER WOMEN
COLLEAGUES TENDED TO BE JUDGED
AND EVEN DISMISSED BECAUSE OF
THEIR GENDER. DEBRA'S TALENT AND
WORK ETHIC PREVAILED. THERE WERE
VERY FEW WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP
STAFF ROLES WHEN DEBORAH BECAME
CHIEF OF STAFF. AND EVEN THOUGH
SHE TOOK THIS LEADERSHIP ROLE
DEBORAH RAISED HER DAUGHTER,
JORDAN'S AS A SINGLE MOTHER
BALANCING THE DEMANDS OF THIS
JOB AND THE NEEDS OF HER
DAUGHTER AT THE TIME WHEN
COMMITTEES AND FLOOR SESSION
WITH WELL INTO THE EVENINGS IF
NOT LATE INTO THE NIGHT. SOME

HARD WORK, BUT ALSO HER LAUNCHES
TIVE ITTY. SHE WILL HAVE SERVED
THREE TIMES LONGER IN THIS
INSTITUTION THAN ANY OF US. AND
POSSIBLY SERVE HERE, AND THAT
SAYS A LOT ABOUT HER. DURING MY
TIME AS SPEAKER. WE HAVE WORKED
CLOSELY ON A LOT OF THEIR SHOES.
BUT TWO ISSUES IN PARTICULAR ONE
OF WHICH HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT A
LOT. ME, TOO. MOVEMENT WAS ALSO
SOMETHING THAT DEBRA AND I
WORKED THROUGH THE MOVEMENT,
OBVIOUSLY APPROPRIATELY
HIGHLIGHTED PROBLEMS WITH
HARASSMENT OF WOMEN. THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD IN THIS COUNTRY IN
THIS STATE, BUT ALSO IN THIS
BUILDING, AND DEBORAH WAS IN A
UNIQUE POSITION TO GUIDE
DEVELOPMENT OF RULES THAT WE'VE
MADE AND WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE
IMPROVEMENTS IN CONDITIONS FOR
WOMEN WHO WORK IN THE CAPITAL
COMMUNITY. AH NOT LONG AFTER
THAT WE FACE THIS INCREDIBLE
PANDEMIC. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN
DEBRA AND I WERE LIKE TWO OF
MAYBE SIX PEOPLE IN THIS ENTIRE
BUILDING. ONCE WE SHUT THINGS
DOWN, WE KEPT COMING IN. AH WELL
. COVID DID NOT HIT THE ASSEMBLY
, NECESSARILY AS HARD AS IT DID
OTHER PLACES IN CALIFORNIA. IT
DID PRESENT FOR US SOME
INCREDIBLY UNIQUE CHALLENGES
UNIQUE CHALLENGES THAT WE'RE
STILL FACING. WE HAD THE
OBLIGATION TO KEEP THE BUSINESS
OF GOVERNMENT OPEN AND RUNNING,
AND WE DID, AND AS CHIEF
ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER THAT FELL
ABSOLUTELY SQUARELY ON DEBORAH'S
LAP. UH, ON THE TWO THINGS ON
THESE TWO THINGS AND MANY OTHER
ISSUES TOO NUMEROUS ACCOUNT. SHE
HAS KEPT MOVING US FORWARD. I
BOUGHT HER AN OR BECAUSE I
FIGURED SHE DIDN'T HAVE ONE. UM. IT WOULD BE WEIRD IF YOU DID.

REMEMBERS WE ARE GOING TO MOVE
TO BUSINESS ON THE DAILY FILE.
BEFORE WE MOVED TO BUSINESS ON
THE DAILY FILE.
MEMBERS. WE ARE MOVING THE
BUSINESS SATURDAY LI FILE.
MEMBERS WE ARE GOING TO MOVE TO
TAKE UP. MS WICK'S ITEM. THIS IS
FILE ITEM. ONE. OH, SEVEN. FILE
ITEM. 107. THIS IS SENATE BILL.
SIX. AND THE CLERK WILL READING
CENTERVILLE SIX BY SENATOR
CAVIAR AND OTHERS AND ACCORDING
TO LAND USE MISS WEEKS. YOU MAY
OPEN. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE TO PRESENT SB SIX
ON BEHALF OF SENATOR CABALLERO,
THE MIDDLE CLASS HOUSING ACT OF
2022. AS YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF
CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO FACE AN
EXTREME HOUSING SUPPLY AND
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS. IN ORDER
TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
CALIFORNIA'S FAMILIES. THE STATE
MUST INCREASE HOUSING PRODUCTION
AT THE LACK OF AVAILABLE LAND
FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
CONTINUES TO BE A BARRIER. THIS
ADAPTIVE REUSE BILL WILL WILL
SPUR HOUSING PRODUCTION BY
AUTHORIZING RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT ON EXISTING LOTS
CURRENTLY ZONED FOR COMMERCIAL
OFFICE, RETAIL AND PARKING FOR
NEW HOUSING. NUMEROUS MAJOR
COMMERCIAL TENANTS HAVE FELT FOR
BAKER UPSY RELIEF OR CLOSED
DOORS SUCH AS SEARS, JC PENNEY'S
KMART AND TOYS R US DUE TO THE
DECLINING SALES, ESPECIALLY AT
THEIR BRICK AND MORTAR
LOCATIONS. WE HAVE SEEN THIS
SHIFTING CONSUMER PREFERENCES
OVER TIME, WHICH HAS LEFT MANY
COMMUNITIES WITH STRIP MALLS AND
MALLS AND MAJOR TENANT VACANCIES
, WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE
DECLINE OF THE RETAIL AND OFFICE
CENTER AND LEAD TO INCREASED
BLIGHT, VANDALISM AND DECLINING
SALES TAX REVENUE. THESE
UNDERUTILIZED OR VACANT
COMMERCIAL SPACES ARE OFTEN
ALONG MAJOR PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION ROUTES AND
CONTAINS SIGNIFICANT ACREAGE
AVAILABLE TO BE DEVELOPED FOR
WALKABLE MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.
SUCH DEVELOPMENT WILL HELP TO
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
BY CREATING THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VEHICLE
TRIPS OR ERRANDS BY LOCATING
SERVICES WITHIN WALKING
DISTANCE. SIMPLY PUT. SB SIX
WILL SPUR HOUSING PRODUCTION BY
ALLOWING LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
APPROVE RESIDENTIAL OR MIXED USE
DEVELOPMENT ON COMMERCIALLY
ZONED RETAIL OFFICER PARKING
SPACES BY UTILIZING AN EXPEDITED
PROCESS REQUIRING HOUSING
DEVELOPMENT, MEET OR EXCEED THE
DENSITY DEEMED APPROPRIATE TO
ACCOMMODATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING,
SUCH AS APARTMENTS, TOWN HOMES
AND CONDOMINIUMS AND PROVIDING
FLEXIBILITY FOR LOCAL DECISION
MAKING BY SUBJECTING DEVELOPMENT
TO LOCAL PLANNING, PARKING AND
DESIGN ORDINANCES. SB 61 CENTER
VISE RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
WITHOUT IMPACTING SINGLE FAMILY
NEIGHBORHOODS. WHILE STILL
GIVING LANDLORDS AND DEVELOPERS
AWAY TO MEET THE GROWING DEMAND
FOR HOUSING. THIS BILL WILL ALSO
SPUR ECONOMIC ACTIVITY, A
CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE
ECONOMIC RECOVERY DURING PERIODS
OF RECESSIONS IN REGIONS MOST IN
NEED OF REVITALIZATION, AND IT'S
A STEP TOWARDS ECONOMIC
TRANSFORMATION. ACCORDING TO ONE
ANALYSIS. ANALYSIS OF SB SIX
THAT. UNDERUTILIZED LAND COULD
BUILD UP TO TWO MILLION NEW
UNITS. IN ADDITION, ADDING MUCH
NEEDED HOUSING SUPPLY. SP SIX
WILL ALSO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT
NEW REVENUE FOR LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS. THIS IS A HUGE
WIN FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND
IT'S A HUGE WIN FOR THOSE THAT
NEED HOUSING IN OUR STATE. IT
ALSO REPRESENTS THE WORK THAT
SENATOR CABALLERO AND I HAVE
DONE OVER MANY, MANY, MANY
MONTHS OF NEGOTIATIONS ON THIS
BILL. AND I ALSO WANT TO POINT
OUT THAT THIS BILL, UM IT IS
IMPORTANT IN TERMS OF ARE
WORKING WITH OUR LABOR
COLLEAGUES. THIS BILL SUPPORTED
BY THE BUILDING TRADES. UM UH
AND I THINK REPRESENTS BOTH
BODIES, BICAMERAL SUPPORT FROM
THE SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY TO
ENSURE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET
A VERY STRONG HOUSING PACKAGE
DONE THAT, IF PASSED, BOTH BILLS
WOULD REPRESENT TRANSFORMATION
HOUSING POLICY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN IPHONE. THANK YOU, MISS
WICKS. MR GRAYSON, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS TODAY I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SB SIX, WHICH WILL
TRANSFORM UNDERUTILIZED
COMMERCIAL SPACE IN THE THRIVING
MIXED USE NEIGHBORHOODS. FOR TOO
LONG. WE HAVE SEEN THE COST OF
BUILDING HOUSING OR BUILDING
HOUSING INCREASE AS REQUIREMENT
AFTER REQUIREMENT IS PUT ON
HOMEBUILDERS. SB SIX, WILL OPEN
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ACRES
AS WAS STATED ACROSS THE STATE
TO RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AT
DENSITIES THAT ALLOW FOR A
REASONABLY PRICED HOMES. IT WILL
DRASTICALLY REDUCE THE TIME AND
COST NEEDED TO GET HOUSING
APPROVED. AND SB SIX IS NOT JUST
ABOUT BUILDING HOUSING THAT WE
SO DESPERATELY NEED. IT IS ALSO
ABOUT BRINGING LIFE BACK INTO
THESE UNDERUTILIZED COMMERCIAL
ZONES, TRANSFORMING THEM INTO
THRIVING COMMUNITIES WHERE
FAMILIES CAN LIVE WORK AND PLAY
ALL IN THE SAME AREA. SB SIX
INCLUDES LABOR STANDARDS THAT
WILL ENSURE THAT OUR HARD
WORKING CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
CAN'T AFFORD TO LIVE. IN THE
HOMES THAT THEY BUILD. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU. MR GRAYSON. MR.
HANEY, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU. MR SPEAKER. I FIRST WANNA
RECOGNIZE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE
TREMENDOUS WORK THAT HAS BEEN
DONE ON THE ISSUE OF HOUSING BY
OUR HOUSING COMMITTEE CHAIR. THE
MEMBER FROM BERKELEY. THIS IS AN
INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING AREA TO
LEGISLATE ON AND AS SHE SAID,
SHE'S BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR
MONTHS AND MONTHS AND TO BE AT
THIS POINT WHERE WE HAVE THIS
BILL. SB SIX. AS WELL AS ITS
SISTER, BILL, A B 2011, WHICH WE
KNOW TOGETHER ARE GOING TO HELP
MAKE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE
MILLIONS OF NEW HOMES IN
CALIFORNIA IS JUST A TREMENDOUS
NEED IN AN AREA WHERE WE KNOW WE
NEED TO MAKE PROGRESS. OUR STATE
HAS UNDER BUILT HOUSING FOR
DECADES. WE KNOW THAT WE OVER
THE NEXT EIGHT YEARS HAVE TO
BUILD 2.5 MILLION HOMES. THIS
BILL WILL HELP US DO THAT. IT
FOCUSES ON COMMERCIAL
UNDERUTILIZED LAND LAND WHERE WE
KNOW WE CAN AND NEED TO BUILD
HOUSING FASTER. I COME LIKE MANY
OF YOU FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND
WHAT WE'VE SEEN IS, UH, TOO
OFTEN WE ARE GETTING IN OUR OWN
WAY. DUPLICATIVE SEQUEL ANALYSIS
. HUGE DELAYS THAT TAKE LONGER
AND LONGER. THESE THINGS ARE
PREVENTING US FROM DOING WHAT WE
NEED TO DO. THERE IS A LOT TO
LIKE ABOUT THIS BILL. IT IS
MULTI FAMILY DEVELOPMENT. IT HAS
LABOR STANDARDS. THAT ENSURES
THAT WE CAN BUILD THE MIDDLE
CLASS AT THE SAME TIME AS WE
BUILD HOUSING. UM AND IT KEEPS
IMPORTANT ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTIONS AND REVIEW. THIS IS
WHAT WE NEED. IT WILL HELP
TOGETHER WITH MAYBE 2011 AND
LOCAL INCLUSIONARY ZONING LAWS
THAT WILL ALSO ENSURE THAT WE
BUILD AFFORDABLE HOUSING. I'M
VERY EXCITED AND PROUD TO STAND
UP HERE AND SUPPORT THIS AND
THANK SENATOR CABALLERO AND OUR
HOUSING COMMITTEE CHAIR FOR THE
TREMENDOUS WORK AND RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. MR
VALLADARES, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SB SIX. MY
GRANDPARENTS BOUGHT THEIR FIRST
HOME IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
IN THE 19 FIFTIES. UM THEY
PASSED AWAY IN 2009. BUT MY
AUNTS AND UNCLES JUST CLOSED
ESCROW ON THAT HOUSE ABOUT TWO
WEEKS AGO HAVE BEEN IN MY FAMILY
FOR 70 YEARS. I REMEMBER IN THE
MY PARENTS BOUGHT THEIR FIRST
HOME IN THE EARLY TWO THOUSANDS.
UM I REMEMBER THINKING IN 4 4006
AS A YOUNG ADULT, I WOULD NEVER
BE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOME. UH
HOUSING AT THE TIME WHERE HOUSES
WERE ABOUT $400,000, IF ONLY
THERE WERE $400,000 TODAY. MY
PARENTS UNFORTUNATELY LOST THAT
HOME. IN 2010 AFTER THE HOUSING
MARKET CRASHED. AND FOR ME WHAT
I REALIZED AFTER MY PARENTS
LOSING THEIR HOME EVEN TODAY IS
MY GRANDPARENTS OLD HOME IS NOW
IN THE HANDS OF ANOTHER FAMILY.
I REALIZED THAT YES.
HOMEOWNERSHIP THE CALIFORNIA
DREAM. IS A FOUNDATION FOR
ECONOMIC STABILITY. BUT IT'S
ALSO. WHERE LIFE HAPPENS, AS I
THINK BACK ON MY GRANDPARENTS
HOME, MY PARENTS HOME BIRTHDAY
PARTIES, BIRDS, FUNERALS,
WEDDINGS, GARAGE PARTIES.
GRADUATIONS. IT'S WHERE LIFE
HAPPENS, AND EVERY CALIFORNIAN
DESERVES THAT DREAM. THIS BILL
WILL PROVIDE MORE HOUSING. SO
THAT FAMILIES LIKE MINE
HOPEFULLY IN 50 YEARS CAN BE
TALKING ABOUT ALL THE LIFE THAT
WAS LIVED IN THESE HOMES. WERE
2.5 MILLION UNITS SHORT. THIS IS
COMMON SENSE AND I URGE YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU. MR VALLADARES.
MR COOLEY. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
COLLEAGUES. I'M VERY PLEASED TO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. I
SEE A BILL LIKE THIS SORT OF
THROUGH THE LENS OF MY OWN CITY
OF RANCHO CORDOVA. WE FORMED OUR
CITY. OVER HALF OF OUR HOUSING
WAS RENTAL. LOW INCOME RENTAL.
WE HAD, HOWEVER, 60,000 JOBS, A
HUGE COMMERCIAL AREA. HAD A BIG
HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. AND,
UM. IN 2004. I PARTICIPATED IN A
TWO DAY SHRED WE WORKED ON THE
DESIGN OF A NEIGHBORHOOD CAPITAL
VILLAGE. UH THE FOLLOWING YEAR
AS MAYOR, I BROKE THE GROUND ON
CAPITOL VILLAGE. WE PUT THIS
WONDERFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THIS VAST
COMMERCIAL TRACT OF PROPERTY
SOUTH OF HIGHWAY 50 NEAR THE MAY
THROUGH AIRPORT. AND I'VE SEEN
HOW THAT IS. JUST TRANSFORM
THINGS, INCLUDING IT IS ACTUALLY
IMPROVED THE CHARACTER OF THE
WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE IN
THOSE COMMERCIAL AREAS. THE
AMENITIES AND THE THINGS THAT
THAT NEIGHBORHOOD BROUGHT IN
BECOMES AN ATTRACTIVE PLACE FOR
PEOPLE. EVEN FOR THE CITY. WE
EVENTUALLY PUT OUR CITY HALL IN
THAT DISTRICT. AND TRULY FOR
MOST CIVIC EVENTS, THEY NOW
HAPPEN IN A BIG PARK. IT'S IN
THAT BRAND NEW HOUSING RIGHT IN
THE MIDDLE OF ALL THESE JOBS. SO
I JUST RECOGNIZE HOW. IT'S SO
EASY TO LOOK AT CHANGE AND
ENVISION A PARADE OF HORRIBLES
THAT RISE IN YOUR HEAD. WHEN YOU
THINK OF SHIFTING THE POLICIES
AT ALL. AND YET THE FACT IS WHEN
YOU PUT PEOPLE IN THE MIDST OF
JOBS. UP. INVEST IN THE
CHARACTER COMMUNITY, CREATE NEW
FACILITIES AND ACTUALLY RELEASES
SO MUCH ENERGY IS VERY DYNAMIC.
AND ON THAT BASIS, I JUST THINK
I I'M VERY PLEASED TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL ARE URGED HER. I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR COOLEY. MISS
AGUILAR CURRY. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES THERE
SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE TO ANYONE

TIME. I'M GOING TO SIT, BE VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BILL, AND I
WANT TO THANK SENATOR CABALLERO
FOR HER HARD WORK TO LISTENING
TO ALL OF US THAT HAD SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT, UM, THE RURAL
AREAS AND SO SHE TOOK A COUPLE
OF REALLY IMPORTANT AMENDMENTS.
I JUST WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE
THAT DEVELOPMENTS MUST BE
LOCATED IN CITIES THAT INCLUDE
AN URBANIZED AREA WITHIN THEIR
BOUNDARIES. DEVELOPMENTS IN
INCORPORATED AREAS MUST BE
LOCATED IN URBANIZED AREA. AND
DEVELOPMENTS MUST BE CONSISTENT
WITH THE REGIONAL SUSTAINABLE
COMMUNITY STRATEGY. WHY IS THIS
IMPORTANT? IT'S HELPS PREVENT
SPRAWL INDUCING PROJECTS THAT
ARE NOT CONSISTENT WITH SCS

REGIONAL VEHICLE. MILES TRAVELED

SENATOR DODD AND OTHERS IN
ANKARA LINKED TO WATER. MR REVIS
, YOU MAY OPEN AND THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. THIS LEGISLATION SENATE
BILL 222 SEEKS TO ESTABLISH A
FIRST IN THE NATION STATEWIDE
RATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM TO MAKE
WATER AND SEWER BILLS MORE
AFFORDABLE FOR LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS. THIS LEGISLATION IS
A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE
RECOMMENDATIONS SET FORTH BY
REPORT TO THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE THAT WAS MANDATED BY
PREVIOUS LEGISLATION. IN AN
EFFORT TO MAKE WATER MORE
AFFORDABLE FOR OUR ENTIRE STATE
FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS, AND THE
NEED FOR THIS BILL IS CLEAR
WATER AND SEWER BILLS. THEY
CONTINUE TO RISE AT RATES WELL
ABOVE THE RATE OF INFLATION. AND
OUR WATER AFFORDABILITY CRISIS
WILL ONLY ACCELERATE AS WATER
AND SEWER SYSTEMS FACE INCREASED
COSTS FROM CLIMATE CHANGE,
INCLUDING NEW AND EXPANDING SOME
CONTAMINATION ISSUES. HOWEVER
UNLIKE OTHER UTILITIES, SUCH AS
ELECTRIC AND GAS SERVICE, NO
STATEWIDE PROGRAM EXISTS TO HELP
LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS PAY THEIR
WATER BILLS. UH THE AUTHOR
SENATOR DODD HAS, UM, INVESTED
SIGNIFICANT TIME TO ENGAGE WITH
ALL STAKEHOLDERS OVER THE PAST%
TWO YEARS, IN PARTICULAR, RECENT
AMENDMENTS CLARIFY THE INTENT TO
HAVE STATE AND FEDERAL DOLLARS
FULLY FUND LOCAL SUBSIDIES AND
ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. ENSURE
COMPLIANCE WITH PROPOSITION TO

ANNIVERSARY OF THE PASSAGE OF
ASSEMBLY BILL 685, WHICH WHICH
MADE ACCESS TO THE ADEQUATE
SUPPLY OF SAFE AND AFFORDABLE
DRINKING WATER. A HUMAN RIGHT IN
CALIFORNIA. WE NOW HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON THAT
ACHIEVEMENT BY ENSURING THAT WE
PROVIDE AFFORDABLE WATER TO

DO RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 222
WATER IS A PRECIOUS RESOURCE IN
CALIFORNIA AS WE ALL KNOW, AS

CONTINUE TO DEPLETE OUR

IMPORTANT THAT THAT WE NOW THAN
EVER BEFORE ENSURE THAT LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES AREN'T PRICED
OUT FROM ACCESSING CLEAN,
POTABLE WATER. SP 222 WILL
ESTABLISH A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE
RATE ASSISTANCE TO LOW INCOME
RESIDENTS HELPING ENSURE THAT
EVERYONE HAS ACCESSTO THIS
PRECIOUS RESOURCE CALLED WATER.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR CHRIS AND MR
SEYARTO TOÀN RECOGNIZED MORNING
SPEAKERS. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER
AND MEMBERS. UM I STAND WITH
SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL,
MOSTLY BECAUSE MOST OF THE
DISTRICTS IN FACT, ALL OF THE
DISTRICTS HAVE THEIR ALL THEIR
OWN LOW INCOME ASSISTANCE RATES
FOR THEIR POPULATION THAT THEY
SERVED. THIS SHOULD BE A LOCAL
CONTROL ISSUE. ANOTHER ISSUE
WHERE THE STATE WANTS TO CREATE
A ONE SIZE FITS ALL FOR ALL OF
CALIFORNIA WHEN WE HAVE HUNDREDS
OF LOCAL AGENCIES WHO HAVE
DISTRICTS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO
THEIR AREAS AND HAVE UNIQUE
CLIENTELE THAT NEED SPECIFIC
PROGRAMS THAT ARE MEANT FOR THEM
. I PREFER THAT THIS STAY IN THE
LOCAL ARENA AND THAT THE STATE
DOES NOT GET INVOLVED AT THIS
LEVEL. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR

WILSON. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER.
TODAY I RISE WITH PRIDE AS A
MOTHER WHO HAS RAISED A WHOLE
AND HEALTHY TRANS CHILD TO
ADULTHOOD ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
WIENER TO PRESENT SENATE BILL
107 LEGISLATION THAT WILL
PROVIDE A REFUGE TO TRANSGENDER
YOUTH. THEIR FAMILIES AND
PROVIDERS WHO ARE FLEEING FROM
ANY STATE THAT CRIMINALIZES
GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE.
TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT
DIRECTED STATE AGENCIES TO
INVESTIGATE GENDER AFFIRMING
HEALTH CARE FOR MINORS AS CHILD
ABUSE. AND HIS DIRECTIVE
GOVERNOR ABBOTT DEPUTIZE IS THE
PUBLIC TO REPORT THE PARENTS OF
TRANSGENDER CHILDREN SO THAT
THEY CAN BE PROSECUTED UNDER
TEXAS LAW. SIMILARLY. ALABAMA
LEGISLATORS RECENTLY PASSED A
LAW THAT MAKES PROVIDING GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE TO THOSE UNDER
THE AGE OF 19, A FELONY. AS IT
STANDS, TRANSGENDER YOUTH AND
THEIR PARENTS IN THESE STATES
ARE UNDER A CONSTANT THREAT OF
BEING REPORTED BY ANYONE AROUND
THEM WHILE WE'RE GOING
LIFESAVING TREATMENT. AND DOING
SO THEY ARE TARGETING OUR MOST
VULNERABLE POPULATION. CHILDREN.
AS WELL AS THEIR PARENTS AND
DOCTORS WHO SUPPORT THEM. SB 107
WOULD PROHIBIT THE ENFORCEMENT
OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER STATE THAT
AUTHORIZES THE STATE AGENCY TO
REMOVE A CHILD FROM THEIR PARENT
OR GUARDIAN BASED ON THE PARENT
OR GUARDIAN, ALLOWING THEIR
CHILD TO RECEIVE GENDER
AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE. SIMILARLY
THIS BILL WOULD ALSO BAR
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS FROM
COMPLYING WITH SUBPOENAS
REQUIRING THE DISCLOSURE OF
MEDICAL INFORMATION RELATED TO
GENDER AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE THAT
INTERFERES WITH A PERSON'S RIGHT
TO ALLOW CHILD TO RECEIVE, SAID
CARE. SB 107 WOULD PREVENT
CALIFORNIA'S LAW ENFORCEMENT
FROM COOPERATING WITH ANY
INDIVIDUAL OR OUT OF STATE
AGENCY REGARDING THE PROVISION
OF LAWFUL GENDER AFFIRMING
HEALTHCARE PERFORMED IN THIS
STATE. ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL
WOULD PREVENT LAW ENFORCEMENT
PARTICIPATION IN THE ARREST OR
EXTRADITION OF AN INDIVIDUAL
THAT IS BASED ON A LAW THAT
CRIMINALIZES ALLOWING A PERSON
TO RECEIVE OR PROVIDE GENDER
AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE WHERE THAT
CONDUCT IS LEGAL UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW, AND IT'S
PERMITTED BY FEDERAL LAW. LASTLY
SB 107 WOULD DECLARE THAT IS THE
PUBLIC POLICY OF THE STATE THAT
AN OUT OF STATE ARREST WARRANT
FOR INDIVIDUAL BASED ON ALLOWING
THEIR CHILD TO RECEIVE GENDER
AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE IS THE
LOWEST LAW ENFORCEMENT PRIORITY.
I WAS ABLE TO RAISE MY CHILD IN
FREEDOM HERE IN CALIFORNIA, AND
I HOPE THAT OTHER PARENTS CAN
TAKE REFUGE HERE TO DO THE SAME.
THEREFORE I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR WILSON. SAYING NO MEMBER

ALSO PROMOTE HEALTH CARE
COVERAGE FOR DOULAS TRAINING

OBSTETRIC PROVIDERS AND
EDUCATION FOR ENROLLEES AND
ENSURED ABOUT THE PROGRAM. WITH
100,000 CASES OF POSTPARTUM
DEPRESSION BEING REPORTED EACH
YEAR. ADEQUATE SUPPORT AND
SERVICES ARE CRUCIAL. THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC
HEALTH REPORTS THAT ONE IN FIVE
CALIFORNIA WOMEN SUFFERED FROM
IT IN 2018 AND WOMEN OF COLOR
ARE THE MOST AFFECTED. PRENATAL
SYMPTOMS OF DEPRESSION ARE TWICE
AS COMMON FOR BLACK AND LATINA
WOMEN COMPARED TO WHITE AND
ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER WOMEN.
ADDITIONALLY MOTHERS MIGHT ALSO
HESITATE TO SEEK HELP BECAUSE OF
STIGMAS ASSOCIATED WITH MENTAL
ILLNESS, AS WELL AS CULTURAL
EXPECTATIONS SURROUNDING
MOTHERHOOD AND THE TRADITIONAL
ROLES OF WOMEN. IT IS VITAL TO
PROVIDE EXTRA SUPPORT FOR
WOMEN'S MENTAL HEALTH DURING

I VOTE ON SP 12. OH, SEVEN.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, DR WEBBER.
MS WALDRON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU. WE SAW THIS BILL IN
HEALTH COMMITTEE AND I RISE IN
SUPPORT. UM IT'S VERY IMPORTANT
THAT WE SUPPORT MATERNAL MENTAL
HEALTH AS WE KNOW THE CURRENT,
UM, PROGRAM. IS ALREADY REQUIRED
UNDER LAW TO LOOK AT SOME OF THE
SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS
TEATMENTS, BUT IT'S NOT
REQUIRED. IT'S THAT THERE ARE
PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA
TO THE MENTAL PROVIDERS IN ALL
CONTRACTING OF SECTOR PROVIDERS
. THERE IS NEED TO USE MORE
COVERAGE. FOR DO DUAL US
TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CONTRACTING PROVIDERS AND
EDUCATION OF ENROLLEES OR
ENSURED ABOUT THE PROGRAM. SB 12
. OH, SEVEN REQUIRES HEALTH
PLANS AND INSURERS TO INCLUDE
QUALITY MEASURES INCLUDE
ENCOURAGING SCREENING, DIAGNOSIS
, TREATMENT AND REFERRAL AS PART
OF MATERNAL MENTAL HEALTH
PROGRAM. THE BILL FURTHER
REQUIRES PROGRAM GUIDELINES AND
CRITERIA TO BE PROVIDED TO
MEDICAL PROVIDERS AND ALL
CONTRACTING OBSTETRIC PROVIDERS.
AND THEN ENCOURAGES THE
INCLUSION OF COVERAGE FOR DO ALL
US INCENTIVIZING TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTRACTING
PROVIDERS AND EDUCATION OF
ENROLLEES OR ENSURED ABOUT THE
PROGRAM. I URGE AND I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MISS WALTER. MISS
VALLADARES, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU. MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL. I THINK
LAST YEAR I SHARED MY OWN
EXPERIENCE WITH POSTPARTUM
DEPRESSION. AND IT IS SOMETHING
WE AS WOMEN DON'T TALK ABOUT.
IT'S STILL HARD FOR ME TO TALK
ABOUT. AND MY DAUGHTER JUST
TURNED FIVE IN APRIL. AND THE
MORE WE TALK ABOUT IT AS WOMEN.
IT'S VITAL, BUT IT'S NOT SIMPLY
GOOD ENOUGH TO TALK ABOUT IT.
IT'S ABOUT REALLY PUTTING
FORWARD THE RESOURCES. IT TOOK
ME ABOUT SIX MONTHS TO GET A
DIAGNOSIS. AND THEN IT TOOK ME
ANOTHER THREE MONTHS TO FIND
SOMEBODY WHO COULD REALLY START
TO TREAT MY SYMPTOMS. IT WAS THE
MOST DIFFICULT TIME OF MY LIFE.
AND I JUST HAD A BABY. IT'S
SUPPOSED TO BE THE HAPPIEST TIME
OF YOUR LIFE. PROGRAMS LIKE THIS
, AND RESOURCES LIKE THIS ARE
ESSENTIAL, ESPECIALLY COMING OUT
OF A PANDEMIC. WHEN WE ALREADY
HAVE FELT ISOLATED FOR THE LAST
2.5 GOING ON THREE YEARS.
MOTHERS FEEL THAT A LOT OF
MOTHERS FEEL THAT POSTPARTUM
ANXIETY, LONELINESS YOUR LIFE
HAS CHANGED AND BEEN TURNED
UPSIDE DOWN. AND YOU'RE AFRAID
TO TALK ABOUT IT. WE NEED TO
TALK ABOUT IT MORE AND WE NEED
TO PUT THE RESOURCES BEHIND IT
TO MAKE SURE WOMEN HAVE ACCESS
TO THESE VITAL PROGRAMS AND
SERVICES. THANK YOU. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU. MISS WILDER'S. SEEING

SENATOR LEVIN, OTHERS AND
ACCORDING TO CIVIL ACTIONS, MR

AND MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
LEYVA. I'M VERY HAPPY TO PRESENT
SB 11 49. WHAT IS THE LAST BEAT?
SB 11 49 TRYING TO SOLVE WE KNOW
WE KNOW WE HAVE LOTS OF RULES
AROUND DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS THAT
ARE PROTECTING CONSUMERS.
PROBLEM IS WHEN SOMEONE IS
INJURED AND THEY GO TO COURT
OFTEN TIMES. THAT LAWSUIT IS
SETTLED OUT OF COURT AND AS A
CONDITION FOR THAT SETTLEMENT,
THERE'S A SECRECY AGREEMENT OF
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT THAT'S
PUT IN PLACE. AND WHETHER IT'S A
PHARMA OR ITS CAR SEATS OR ITS
CAR TIRES. WHAT THAT MEANS IS
THAT THERE IS A DEFECTIVE
PRODUCTS NOW THAT YOU AND I HAVE
NO IDEA IS IN FACT, EFFECTIVE.
SO YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF HOW
MANY TIMES DOES SOMEONE NEED TO
BE INJURED? BEFORE THE PUBLIC
BECOMES AWARE OF A DEFECTIVE
PRODUCT. THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
DOES. NOW. SENATOR LEVIN HAS
ALSO TAKEN A LOT OF AMENDMENTS
TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUTTRADE
SECRETS AND ABOUT CUSTOMER LISTS
AND OTHERS TO TRY AND MAKE SURE
THAT THOSE DEFINITIONS ARE NOT
GOING TO INTERFERE WITH THE
COMPANY'S ABILITY TO DO BUSINESS
THE WAY THAT THEY NEED TO DO
BUSINESS IN THE MARKETPLACE.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
DEFECT IN A PRODUCT IS NOT A
TRADE SECRET, DEFECTIVE PRODUCT
IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE
ABLE TO BE HIDDEN BY THESE
PROCESSES. PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO
KNOW YOU AND I HAVE A RIGHT TO
KNOW THIS IS THIS IS A VERY,
VERY IMPORTANT BILL FOR
CALIFORNIA. THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF OTHER STATES WHO HAVE IMPACT
THAT HAVE PUT THIS IN PLACE.
CALIFORNIA IS BY NO MEANS
LEADING ON THIS. IT'S TIME FOR
CALIFORNIA TO STEP UP AND ENSURE
THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE
APPROPRIATE CONSUMER PROTECTIONS
FOR PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA. AND I
ASKED FOR YOUR I VOTE. THANK

DEALING WITH DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
AND ENSURING THAT WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO GO AFTER COMPANIES
WHO HAVE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.
IT'S ALSO BY THE WAY, NOT
REALLY. A GREAT BUSINESS MODEL
FOR SOMEONE TO PUT SOMETHING OUT
INTO THE MARKETPLACE THAT HAS
HAZARDS AND DEFECTS. SO YOU
KNOW, THE MARKETPLACE ALSO DEALS
WITH THIS VERY ISSUE. THE REASON
WHY THERE MAY BE CONFIDENTIALITY
AGREEMENTS IS JUST LIKE THERE IS
WITH MANY DIFFERENT CASES IS TO
PROTECT TRADE SECRETS AND OTHER
PROTECTED BUSINESS INFORMATION
TO STOP UNFAIR COMPETITION. UM,
THAT AND SO THAT IS REALLY?
WHAT? UM, IS AN ISSUE HERE. ON
THIS BILL, AND WE NEED TO
PROTECT US. THOSE
CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS THAT
ARE AGAIN ENTERED INTO BY THE
PARTIES. WILLINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY. UM IN THESE CASES
SO I WOULD URGE YOU TO VOTE
AGAINST THIS BILL. UH AGAIN. WE
HAVE LAW ON ON THE BOOKS THAT
HAS BEEN USED VERY EFFECTIVELY.
FOR YEARS DECADES TO GET OUT
DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS IN THE STATE
, AND IT WORKS REALLY WELL, WE
DON'T NEED THIS BILL. MISS
GALLAGHER. MR. HANEY, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A
LOT OF RESPONSIBILITIES AND A
LOT OF IMPORTANT ISSUES TO TAKE
ON IN THIS BODY. BUT I THINK
MOST OF US WOULD AGREE THAT ARE
MOST IMPORTANT RESPONSIBILITY AS
ELECTED OFFICIALS IS TO PROTECT
THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF OUR
CONSTITUENTS. THIS IS
FUNDAMENTALLY A PUBLIC SAFETY
BILL. IF YOU LOOK AT THE DANGERS
AND DEFECTS THAT HAVE BEEN KEPT
HIDDEN AND THE THOUSANDS OF
LIVES THAT WE COULD HAVE SAVED.
IF THAT INFORMATION WAS MADE
PUBLIC, WE KNOW THAT THIS IS
ABOUT PROTECTING THE PEOPLE THAT
WE REPRESENT. I THINK ABOUT THE
CASE OF OXY COTTON. WHERE WE'VE
TALKED IN THIS BODY ABOUT THE
OPIOID EPIDEMIC THAT PEOPLE WHO
HAVE OVERDOSED THE THOUSANDS OF
LIVES THAT HAVE BEEN LOST, AND
WE TALKED ABOUT THE DAMAGE AND
DANGERS OF DRUG DEALING. WELL
FUNDAMENTALLY, THIS IS ALSO A
QUESTION OF CORPORATE
ACCOUNTABILITY WHEN IT COMES TO
SELLING PRODUCTS THAT ARE
FRANKLY DANGEROUS AND DEFECTIVE
AND KNOWN TO BE SO BUT HIDDEN
FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS. WE HAVE
TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE THAT WE
REPRESENT, AND INFORMATION CAN
DO THAT THIS IS NEEDED. THERE
ARE IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF THIS
BILL THAT MAKE SURE THAT IT
DOESN'T REVEAL TRADE SECRETS BUT
FUNDAMENTALLY IS ABOUT
PROTECTING PEOPLE KEEPING THEM
SAFE. I HOPE THAT'S WHAT WE ARE
ALL HERE TO DO, AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
AND MR COOLEY. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. COLLEAGUES I
ACTUALLY RISING OPPOSITION THIS
BILL AND I DO A SORT OF ON THE
BASIS OF THE OLD. YOU KNOW, WHAT
MAKES YOU THINK WE READ THE
BILLS? SORT OF OBSERVATION. UH
PRESENTED AS A BUILDING WITH
TRADE SECRETS OF CONFIDENTIALITY
. BUT IF YOU'RE IN THE LEGAL
SYSTEM AND YOU'RE NOT A LAWYER,
YOU WANT A LAWYER WHO'LL BE
ASSERTIVE ON YOUR BEHALF?
AGGRESSIVE ON YOUR BEHALF,
MAKING WELL FOUNDED ARGUMENTS ON
YOUR BEHALF. IN THIS BILL IT
ACTUALLY PROVIDES. IT'S SIMPLY
THE PARTY WHO STARTS TO DISPUTE
ASSERTS THAT IT'S THE TYPE OF
LITIGATION THAT THIS
CONFIDENTIALITY PROTECTION WOULD
APPLY. THEN IF YOU'RE THE LAWYER
ON THE OTHER SIDE AND YOU SIMPLY
MAKE THAT ARGUMENT. YOU ARE NOW
EXPOSED TO PROFESSIONAL LIFE
PROFESSIONAL DISCIPLINE. SO IT'S
REALLY WRITTEN IN SUCH A WAY
THAT IF YOU'RE THE LAWYER
DEFENDING THE CLIENT EVEN
UNDERTAKEN ON THEIR BEHALF. YOU
ARE EXPOSING YOURSELF TO, UH,
JUST WENT OUT OF THE STATE BAR.
IT'S UNDER THE LAST TWO PAGES.
THE BILL PAGES SIX AND SEVEN. UH
IT'S SUBDIVISION H OF THE
SECTION ADDED THERE. IT'S GOT
THESE RULES DEALING WITH
POTENTIAL LIABILITY, SO I
ACTUALLY SEE IT'S NOT JUST AN
ARGUMENT ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY,
BUT THEY'RE ACTUALLY TRYING TO
DISCOURAGE. LAWYERS GIVING
ACTIVIST REPRESENTATION OF
CLIENTS SIMPLY BY ASSERTING THIS
IS THE TYPE OF FACT PATTERN
WHEREIN I THINK THAT'S A BAD
PRECEDENT. SO I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. AND MS
REYES, YOU'RE RIGHT CLASS. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF A B 11 49. COLLEAGUES
THIS BILL ONLY APPLIES TO CASES
INVOLVING DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS OR
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS THAT HAVE
CAUSED OR LIKELY TO CAUSE.
SIGNIFICANT OR SUBSTANTIAL
BODILY INJURY. ILLNESS. OR
DEATH. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY THIS
IS ONLY AN EXTREMELY NARROW
CIRCUMSTANCES. SO THAT'S THE
FIRST PART IT HAS TO CAUSE THE
SIGNIFICANT OR SUBSTANTIAL
INJURY OR DEATH. THE SECOND PART
IS THE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE GOING
TO BE RELEASED OR GOING TO BE
OPENED UP THAT CANNOT BE SEALED
ARE DOCUMENTS THAT RELATE TO
THAT DEFECT. AND THIRD. IF THE
DEFENDANTS IF THE PRODUCER OF
THAT PRODUCT SAYS WELL, THIS IS
A TRADE SECRET. WE WANT TO KEEP
IT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. WE DON'T
WANT TO REVEAL IT. THE JUDGE,
THEN LOOKS AT THE INFORMATION
REVIEWS IT IN CHAMBERS. AND
MAKES THE DECISION. THOSE ARE
THE THREE PARTS. FIRST THERE'S A
DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT COULD
CAUSE OR DID CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL
SUBSTANTIAL BODILY INJURY OR
DEATH. THE DOCUMENT THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO OPEN UP IS A DOCUMENT
RELATED TO THAT DEFECT. AND
THIRD. IF THEY SAY THAT THERE
WAS THERE WAS A TRADE SECRET
THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO PROTECT.
THERE IS A PROTECTION BECAUSE
THE JUDGE WILL REVIEW IT IN
CHAMBERS. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN.
AN ATTEMPT OR MAYBE SUCCESS. UH
THERE'S BEEN AN ATTEMPTED JUST
CONFUSED THE ISSUE, BUT THE
TRUTH IS, IT'S VERY IT'S. IT'S
ACTUALLY QUITE SIMPLE. IT ISN'T
A COMPLEX LEGAL ISSUE HERE. THE
QUESTION AT THIS POINT, AND I
THINK, AS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE
NOTED QUESTION THAT WE HAVE TO
ASK OURSELVES IS WHETHER IT IS
MORE IMPORTANT FOR CORPORATION.
TO SELF SELECT WHAT INFORMATION
TO KEEP SECRET. OR TO GIVE A
JUDGE THE JOB OF DECIDING WHAT
IS IN THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST. I
URGE YOUR SUPPORT OF A B SB 11
49. THANK YOU, MISS ROSS. SEEING
NO OTHER MEMBERS. SEEKING
RECOGNITION ON THE ITEM, MR
STONE, YOU MAY CLOSE IF YOU
WISH. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER.
OPPOSITION ARGUMENTS ACTUALLY
LAY A CASE FOR VOTING. YES, ON
THIS BILL. BECAUSE IF THOSE
DEFECTS EXIST AND REMEMBER MOST
OF THE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW
IS JUDGE MADE LIVES
JURISPRUDENCE THAT COMES OUT OF
THE COURTS. AND IF THE FACTS
ABOUT A DEFECT ARE HIDDEN THEN
THE OTHER MECHANISMS LIKE THE
LAWS, OTHERWISE WE DO HAVE THEM
ON THE BOOKS. CAN'T APPLY
BECAUSE THERE'S NO BASIS TO
APPLY THEM. SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT
ASTONISHING. WE CANNOT LET THE
MARKET CORRECT THOSE DEFECTS IF
THE MARKET DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT
WHAT THOSE DEFECTS ARE. AND WE
HAVE PLENTY OF CASES WHETHER
IT'S OXYCODONE, WHETHER IT'S
TIRES, WHETHER IT'S CAR SEATS OF
YEARS AND YEARS, GOING BY OF
THESE AGREEMENTS AND HIDING AWAY
FROM THE PUBLIC. SO THAT ONE
MORE CHILD IS INJURED. ONE MORE
CAR CRASH HAPPENS. MORE PEOPLE
GET ADDICTED BY DRUGS LIKE
OXYCONTIN. BEFORE THE TRUTH
COMES OUT. AND BEFORE THE MARKET
CAN THEN TAKE OVER AND MANAGE
AND FORCE THAT COMPANY TO MAKE
THE DECISIONS BECAUSE COMPANIES
MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON BOTTOM
LINES. AND WHATEVER PRESSURE
THERE IS IN THE MARKETPLACE. SO
IF YOU THINK THAT FUNCTIONS
WITHOUT TRANSPARENCY IT DOESN'T. AND I'M ALSO SCRATCHING MY
HEAD ABOUT THE PROVISIONS IN
HERE THAT HOLD ATTORNEYS
ACCOUNTABLE. FOR NOT UTILIZING
SORT OF TRICKS THAT HAVE BEEN
BUILT INTO THE LEGAL SYSTEM.
YEAH LET'S HOLD THOSE ATTORNEYS
ACCOUNTABLE. LET'S NOT LET THEM
OFF THE HOOK FOR UTILIZING.
PROCESSES HERE THAT WORK AGAINST
THE PUBLIC. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE
BEEN DOING. THE BAR BILL THIS
YEAR WAS TO TRY TO ENHANCE
ATTORNEY DISCIPLINE FOR PULLING
TRICKS LIKE THIS. LET'S NOT LET
THOSE ATTORNEYSGET OFF THE
HOOK. I PRACTICE LAW. IT'LL IN
THIS AREA FOR 25 YEARS. DON'T
LET ME OFF THE HOOK. FOR USING
SOME OF THOSE MECHANISMS. PLEASE
VOTE YES. ON SB 11 49. THANK YOU

THE STREET HARASSMENT OCCURRING
ON AROUND OUR TRANSIT SYSTEMS,
WOMEN AND GIRLS AND PROTECTED
THOSE OF COLOR AND THOSE IN THE

OFTEN THE TARGETS OF STREET
HARASSMENT ON PUBLIC TRANSIT.
THIS HARASSMENT INCLUDES
UNWANTED SEXUAL AND RACIALIZED
COMMENTS AND SLURS, WHISTLING,
LEERING AND OTHER INTIMIDATING
ACTIONS, ACCORDING TO A 2019
STATEWIDE STUDY BY THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN
DIEGO, CENTER ON GENERAL EQUITY
AND HEALTH, 77% OF WOMEN
EXPERIENCE SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN
A PUBLIC SPACE, INCLUDING 29% ON
MASS TRANSIT. IN ADDITION, STOP

REPORTS OF HATE INCIDENTS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING MORE THAN
4300 REPORTS IN CALIFORNIA
ALONE. THE MAJORITY OF THESE
REPORTS CAME FROM A API WOMEN
DESCRIBED VERBAL HARASSMENT THAT
OCCURRED IN PUBLIC SPACES SUCH
AS PUBLIC SIDEWALKS, PARKS AND
TRANSIT. HARASSMENT ON TRANSIT
SERIOUSLY IMPACTS WRITERS,
MENTAL HEALTH, FREEDOM OF
MOVEMENT AND WELL BEING. SP 11
61 IS THE FIRST STEP IN
ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM OF STREET
HARASSMENT ON TRANSIT BY
REQUIRING MINETA TRANSPORTATION
INSTITUTE. SAN JOSE UNIVERSITY
TO DEVELOP A SURVEY TOOL TO
ALLOW TRANSIT OPERATORS TO
COLLECT INFORMATION ON WRITERS
AND DEVELOP DATA DRIVEN
INITIATIVES TO HELP PREVENT
HARASSMENT OF PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. WE
CANNOT FIX WHERE WE CANNOT
MEASURE. SB 11 61 IS AN
ESSENTIAL STEP. TO MAKING SURE

THIS IS A BILL THAT WILL HELP WE
IN SAN FRANCISCO HAVE SEEN MANY
SHOCKING INCIDENTS OF HATE. ON

TRANSIT OPERATORS HAVE TOLD US
FIRSTHAND THAT THEY OFTEN DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO. THEY DON'T KNOW
HOW TO HELP. THEY DON'T KNOW HOW
TO INTERVENE AND THEY NEED MORE
SUPPORT. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE

LIBRARY, IMAGINATION LIBRARY OF
CALIFORNIA AS A COMPREHENSION
COMPREHENSIVE STATEWIDE
INITIATIVE TO HELP OUR YOUNGEST
LEARNERS FOSTER LOVE OF READING.
RESEARCH SHOWS YOUNG CHILDREN
WHO HAVE EXPOSED TO A VARIETY OF
LANGUAGE AND LITERARY LITERACY
EXPERIENCES DO BETTER IN SCHOOL
SINCE $1995. PARTON'S
IMAGINATION LIBRARY HAS
DELIVERED MORE THAN 182 MILLION
AGE, APPROPRIATE BOOKS TO
CHILDREN AND 12 STATES MORE THAN
12,000 LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND
FIVE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
WORLDWIDE. CALIFORNIA WILL BE
THE FIRST PARTNER STATE THROUGH
THE IMAGINATION LIBRARY OFFERING
BILINGUAL BOOKS. EVERY BOOK A
CHILD RECEIVES WILL ARRIVE WITH
THE CHILD'S NAME PRINTED ON THE
LABEL AND A MESSAGE OF
ENCOURAGEMENT FROM DOLLY PARTON
HERSELF. CURRENTLY SELECT
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITIES HAVE
WORKED INDIVIDUALLY TO BRING
TOGETHER PARTNERS AND NONPROFITS
TO ESTABLISH LOCAL IMAGINATION
LIBRARY PROGRAMS. HOWEVER LESS
THAN 1% OF CALIFORNIA'S EARLY
READERS ARE ABLE TO ENROLL DUE
TO NUMEROUS BARRIERS, ESPECIALLY
THOSE CHILDREN IN LARGE URBAN
AREAS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES,
LACKING THE RESOURCES TO
ESTABLISH LOCAL PROGRAMS. THE
IMAGINATION LIBRARY OF
CALIFORNIA WILL BE UNDER THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE STATE
LIBRARIAN AND IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE DOLLYWOOD FOUNDATION TO

ACROSS CALIFORNIA EVERY
CALIFORNIA CHILD CAN SIGN UP TO

WOULD ESTABLISH THE STATEWIDE
IMAGINATION LIBRARY PROGRAM TO
PROVIDE FREE AGE APPROPRIATE
BOOKS ON A MONTHLY BASIS TO
EVERY CHILD WHO REGISTERS IN THE
PROGRAM FROM BIRTH TO THEIR
FIFTH BIRTHDAY AT NO COST FOR
FAMILIES. A STRONG PRESENCE OF
LITERACY IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO HELP CHILDREN EXPAND
THEIR VOCABULARY AND RECOGNIZE
WRITTEN WORDS WHILE ALSO
STIMULATING A CHILD'S
IMAGINATION AND EXPANDING THEIR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD. THE
IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING CHILDREN
WITH THE ACCESS TO BOOKS SUCH AT
SUCH A YOUNG AGE HELPS PROMOTE
LEARNING WORDS. IT PROMOTES AN
INTEREST INCREASES THEIR
INTEREST IN LITERATURE AND MOST
IMPORTANTLY, IMPROVES LITERACY
IN CALIFORNIA. LITERACY
DEVELOPMENT IS IT IS CRITICAL TO
THE SUCCESS OF ALL AGES AND EVEN
MORE SO IN YOUNG CHILDREN.
EARLIER IT BEGINS THE BETTER
UNDER THIS FUNDED PROGRAM. WE
CAN DO JUST THAT FOR THE FUTURE
GENERATIONS OF OUR STATE, I

GONZALES. TODAY. WE HAVE A
PROBLEM IN THAT WE LACK A

THAT INFRASTRUCTURE. THIS
INCLUDES BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN
FACILITIES, LOCAL STREETS,
TRANSIT AND FREEWAYS. SECOND THE
CTC SHALL ESTIMATE HOW MUCH
FUNDING WE EXPECT TO HAVE FROM
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
SOURCES. THIRD IF THERE'S A
SHORTFALL, THE CTC SHALL
RECOMMEND HOW TO ADDRESS IT.
WITH THIS INFORMATION
POLICYMAKERS, STAKEHOLDERS AND
ADVOCATES CAN DO A BETTER JOB OF
PLANNING FOR OUR FUTURE TO
CREATE THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

TAKE TO HELP ACHIEVE THE SKULL.

VOTE ON SB 11 42. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, DR WEBBER. AND SEEING
NO MEMBERS WISHING TO DISCUSS
THIS BILL THAT WILL OPEN THE
ROLE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. WILL CLOSE
ROLL TALLY. THE VOTES IS 41
KNOWS 12. THE BILL IS PASSED.
NEXT I MISS FRIEDMAN, THIS IS
FILE ITEM. 83 SB 11. 57 CLERK
WILL READ. SENATE BILL 11 57 BY
CENTER, HERTZBERG AND OTHERS IN
AFRICA IN THE WATER. AND SUMMER
FREEMAN, YOU MAY OPEN THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TO
PRESENT SP 11 57 BY SENATOR
HERTZBERG. WE ALL KNOW THAT
WE'RE LIVING THROUGH A MEGA
DROUGHT. THIS IS THE DRIEST
PERIOD IN 1200 YEARS AND 88% OF
CALIFORNIA IS CURRENTLY
EXPERIENCING EXTREME DROUGHT
CONDITIONS. BUT IT'S SORT OF
SHOCKING WHEN PEOPLE HEAR THAT.
UNTIL RECENTLY, CALIFORNIA HAD
NO REAL WATER EFFICIENCY. UM
STANDARD STATEWIDE. THAT'S WHY
IN 2018, THE LEGISLATURE PASSED
SB 66 AND A B 16 68, WHICH
ESTABLISHED A FRAMEWORK FOR
DROUGHT RESILIENCY IN CALIFORNIA
AND MADE WATER EFFICIENCY A WAY
OF LIFE. THIS PACKAGE WAS THE
RESULT OF A TWO YEAR EFFORT IN
WHICH THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY
HELD HEARINGS ON THIS TOPIC
SOLICITED INPUT AND FEEDBACK
FROM DOZENS OF ORGANIZATIONS
HELD NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION AND WITH
STAKEHOLDERS AND INCORPORATED A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF PROPOSALS
AND CHANGES FROM STAKEHOLDERS.
THE MEASURE BEFORE YOU TODAY
UPDATES ARE INDOOR RESIDENTIAL
EFFICIENCY STANDARDS TO REFLECT
THE NEW STANDARDS RECOMMENDED BY
pAND COMPLETE PUBLIC PROCESS.
THESE INDOOR EFFICIENCY
STANDARDS ARE JUST ONE PART OF
THE TOTAL FORMULA THAT
DETERMINES HOW WATER AGENCIES
MUST MEET THEIR OVERALL WATER
USE OBJECTIVES. THIS DOES NOT
MEAN THAT INDIVIDUALS HAVE TO DO
ANYTHING IN THEIR OWN HOMES. IT
DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'LL BE FINE
IF YOU SHOWER OR DO LOAD OF
LAUNDRY IN THE SAME DAY. WE WANT
YOU TO WASH YOUR CHILDREN. WE
EVEN WANT YOU TO WASH YOUR DOGS.
ON THE CONTRARY, LEGISLATION
LIKE THIS WILL CONTINUE DRIVING
EFFICIENCY IN ALL ASPECTS OF OUR
LIFE SO THAT WE CAN REMAIN
BETTER POSITION TO KEEP OUR TAPS
FLOWING AND WHAT'S GOING TO BE
NEAR CERTAIN WATER SCARCITY INTO
THE FUTURE. WE'VE ALREADY SEEN
THE SUCCESS OF OUR EFFORTS
IMPROVE THAT WATER USAGE HAS
BEEN ON A STEADY DECLINE AND
THAT THE CURRENT MEDIAN WATER
USES 58 G P CD AND IS WELL BELOW
THE 2020 STANDARD THAT IS IN
STATUTE. SB 11 57 UPDATES THE
INDOOR RESIDENTIAL WATER USE
STANDARDS AS JOINTLY RECOMMENDED
BY TWO STATE AGENCIES. THE
MEASURE ALSO REQUIRES THE
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES IN
THE STATE WATER BOARD TO
CONTINUE TO ASSESS AND MONITOR
THE PROGRESS OF MEETING THE
STANDARDS AS WELL AS THE IMPACTS
OF THE STANDARD. AMENDMENTS MADE
IN JUNE AND LAST WEEK NEGOTIATED
AND COLLABORATION WITH
STAKEHOLDERS REMOVED A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OPPOSITION
FROM VARIOUS WATER AGENCIES AND
ASSOCIATIONS, AND THAT BEARS
REPEATING. MOST OF THE
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL HAS BEEN
LIFTED BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF
WORK THAT THE AUTHOR OF THIS
BILL DID WITH WATER AGENCIES AND
OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. THIS BILL IS
A COMMON SENSE. AND I MUST SAY A
VERY MODERATE RESPONSE TO A
CLIMATE THAT HAS BEEN CHANGED
AND A VITAL CLIMATE ADAPTATION
TOOL TO ENHANCE OUR DROUGHT
RESILIENCY. I APPRECIATE THEIR
CONSIDERATION ON THIS MATTER,
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO AND I
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
FRIEDMAN, AND SOME OF THEM ARE
FOLLOWING YOUR RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. MEMBERS I RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO SB 11 57.
CALIFORNIANS HAVE DONE THEIR
PART TO CONSERVE WATER. EVEN
BEFORE THIS DROUGHT, WATER USE
IN CALIFORNIA HAD DECLINED
SIGNIFICANTLY BECAUSE OF
SUBSTANTIAL EFFORTS TO REDUCE
WATER USE. TWO TIERED PRICE,
TIERED RATE PRICING AND
MANDATORY INSTALLATION OF WATER
SAVING TECHNOLOGY. BUT D WRS
WATER YOU STUDIES HAVE
SIGNIFICANT FLAWS AND ARE
INCOMPLETE. THIS BILL IS
PREMATURE, IT WOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED WATER
COSTS FOR RATEPAYERS BY
MANDATING A 42 GALLON PER PERSON
PER DAY LIMIT BY 2030. THIS NEW
INDOOR RESIDENTIAL WATER USE
ENTERED IS NOT FEASIBLE OR
REALISTIC AND IGNORES THE
OPERATIONAL DISRUPTION. HE WILL
CAUSE FOR WATER AGENCIES AND
PROVIDERS THROUGHOUT ALL OF
CALIFORNIA. HMM MEMBERS. THERE'S
A LOT TO UNPACK IN THIS BILL,
BUT IT WILL RESULT IN HIGHER
WATER BILLS FOR CALIFORNIANS AND
DRAMATICALLY CHANGED THE QUALITY
OF LIFE IN OUR CITIES AND
SUBURBS IN TERMS OF TREE CANOPY
AND GREEN SPACE MEMBERS WERE
DEBATING THIS BILL TO
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED COST OR
WATER USERS, AND WE ARE NOT EVEN
HAVING ANY DEBATE ON WATER
STORAGE. MEMBERS. THIS IS THE
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR FONG. AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S AORTA. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER
. I TO RISE IN OPPOSITION TO SB
11 57. YOU KNOW THE TIERED WATER
RATE. THAT WE GET CHARGED. IT'S
A IT'S KIND OF A COMPLEX
FORMULA. AND IT IS BASED ON THE
52 GALLONS OF WATER 55 GALLONS
OF WATER PER PERSON PER DAY THAT
WE HAVE TODAY. AND GOING DOWN TO
42 GALLONS WILL SIMPLY PUSH
EVERYBODY UP AND UP INTO THOSE
HIGHER TIERED RATES, AND THOSE
HIGHER TIERED RATES ARE
SUBSTANTIAL. THEY GO FROM LIKE A
DOLLAR FOR A UNIT TO $8 PER UNIT
. SO WHEN YOU GET PUSHED INTO A
HIGHER TIERED RATE, AND YOU'RE
USING WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS A
MINIMAL AMOUNT OF WATER, EVEN AT
47 GALLONS, YOU WILL STILL WIND
UP HAVING TO PAY BECAUSE OF
THESE TIERED RATES THE WAY
THEY'RE SET. THE HIGHER RATE FOR
THAT FOR WATER. UM ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS WE HAVE WE ARE TALKING
ABOUT WAS THE AFFORDABILITY OF
WATER. PEOPLE HAVE DONE
EVERYTHING THEY CAN. I KNOW I
HAVE TO CONVERT THEIR LAWNS INTO
DROUGHT TOLERANT LANDSCAPE.
WE'VE DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
TRY TO CONSERVE WATER. I DON'T
SEE NEARLY AS MUCH WATER GOING
DOWN THE GUTTERS AS I USED TO
SEE, PEOPLE ARE DOING EVERYTHING
THEY CAN, EXCEPT FOR. WHAT WE'RE
DOING NOW IS MAKING THEM PAY
EVEN MORE FOR USING LESS. AND
UNLESS THEY GUARANTEE US THAT
THEY WILL ADJUST THE TIERED
RATES. WE CAN'T HAVE BILLS LIKE
THIS, MAKING IT MORE EXPENSIVE
FOR PEOPLE WHO CANNOT ALREADY
ILL AFFORD TO PAY MORE FOR
WATER. SO UM, I ALSO CONCUR AND
AGREE WITH THE COMMENTS BY MY
COLLEAGUE. ABOUT THE LACK OF THE
OTHER SIDE OF THIS, WHICH IS
ENSURING THAT WE DO CAPTURE
WATER RUNOFF IN AN EFFICIENT
MATTER. WE HAVEN'T BUILT ANY
STORAGE FOR A LONG TIME. IT IS
TIME FOR US TO START WORKING ON
THAT SIDE OF IT. AND AFTER A
WHILE, THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH
PEOPLE CAN, UH, CAN BE EXPECTED
TO CONSERVE. UH THEY NEED TO
WASH THEIR CLOTHES. THEY NEED TO
TAKE SHOWERS. THEY NEED TO, UH,
WATER. WHAT'S LEFT OF THEIR
DROUGHT TOLERANT LANDSCAPING. UM
I URGE YOU TO VOTE NO, ON THIS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR SUHARTO
AND SOME MEMBER OF OPAL, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
SB 11 57 FOR MANY OF THE SAME
REASONS MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID,
UM BUT SHORT HISTORY LESSON.
WHEN I CAME TO CALIFORNIA IN
1970, THEN SETTLED HERE IN 1972.
AT THAT TIME. THE AVERAGE USE OF
WATER WAS 290 GALLONS PER
PERSON. AND IT WAS 12 OR $14 A
MONTH. AND WE WERE GREEN. WE
WERE BEAUTIFUL QUALITY OF WATER
LIFE. THEN IT WENT IN 1991 TO 2
30. NOW THEY WANT TO GO TO 42
GALLONS PER PERSON. HOW DID THEY
ARRIVE AT THAT NUMBER? SO I'LL
TELL YOU HOW. AT 42 GALLONS PER
PERSON PER DAY. THAT'S WHAT
ISRAEL HAS ACHIEVED. ISRAEL
LIVES IN A DESERT. WE DON'T. WE
HAVE NOT DONE WATER STORAGE IS
MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED. FOR MANY
YEARS. IT'S WATER STORAGE PEOPLE
. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED THAT WILL
SOLVE A LOT OF THE PROBLEMS IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AND I WILL
BRAG ABOUT MY AREA. WE SPENT
$1.5 BILLION ON WATER STORAGE.
EVEN AT THE HEIGHT OF THIS
DROUGHT. WE'RE STILL RELATIVELY
SELF SUFFICIENT WERE WITHIN 7%
OF OUR NEEDS. SO. POINT I'M
MAKING IS THIS IS NOT A GOOD
BILL. IN ANY WHICH WAY
ESPECIALLY FOR THE LONG RUN. WE
DON'T NEED TO GO DOWN TO 42.
GALLONS PER PERSON. THAT'S JUST
NOT A QUALITY OF LIFE. I WANT TO
SEE THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
VOEPEL. AND THE SAME NUMBER
WOULD YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
I'VE BEEN DEBATED WHETHER I
WANTED TO SPEAK ON THIS OR NOT,
BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, I APPLIED THE
SENDER'S EFFORT EFFORTS ON THIS
, AND QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T
THINK WE'RE DOING ENOUGH ON
WATER CONSERVATION. I HAVEN'T
FOR A LONG TIME. I LIVE IN THE
CITY OF HEALDSBURG. WE CUT OUR
WATER USAGE BY 50% THAT'S 50.
WHERE I HEAR A LOT OF PLACES IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, STRUGGLING
TO GET TO FIVE OR 6. AND YEAH,
WE'RE 42 GALLONS. WE CAN DO THAT
. WE'RE DOING IT. WE'VE BEEN
DOING IT. YOU WON'T FIND LAWNS
IN OUR TOWN ANY LONGER. ONLY
LONG YOU'RE GOING TO SEE OUR
ARTIFICIAL TURF. WHERE IT HASN'T
REALLY AFFECTED MY QUALITY OF
LIFE. I'M CLEAN. I TOOK THE
SHOWER, BATHE REGULARLY. WE WASH
OUR DISHES. WE DO OUR LAUNDRY.
WE JUST DON'T WASTE WATER. AND
I'VE BEEN FRUSTRATED FRUSTRATED
ENOUGH BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU KNOW
, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WHERE I
LIVE THROUGH THE RUSSIAN RIVER.
THE RUSSIAN RUSSIAN FOR
WATERSHED HAS CONSERVED A LOT OF
WATER WE'VE HAD TO BECAUSE WE
DON'T HAVE WATER TO GET AND IT
HASN'T DEVASTATED OUR QUALITY OF
LIFE. IT'S CHANGED IT. UM BUT
THAT LED ME TO TRYING TO DO A
BILL THIS YEAR. TO CREATE WITHIN
THE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL
BOARD, A DROUGHT DIVISION SO WE
COULD ACTUALLY BEGIN TO PLAN
PROACTIVELY FOR DROUGHT IN THE
FUTURE, RATHER THAN REACTING
LIKE WE DO SO MUCH IN STATE
GOVERNMENT, WE REACT WHEN
THERE'S A DROUGHT DROUGHT IS A
PART OF CALIFORNIA'S LANDSCAPE
AND ALWAYS WILL BE YET THAT BILL
DIED IN SENATE APPROPRIATIONS.
PREVENTION BILL A PLANNING BILL
TO PROTECT SENSITIVE WATERSHEDS
DIED. REALLY THAT'S FRUSTRATING
. THAT'S FRUSTRATING. UM WE CAN
DO IT AND, YES, WATER. WATER IS
CHEAP. IT'S THE CONVEYANCE. IT'S
THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT'S
EXPENSIVE. WATER DOESN'T COST
MUCH. AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE PARTLY WHY YOU'RE
GOING TO SEE SOME OF THESE
TEARED TEARED LEVEL, SO I'M
GOING TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY.
ALTHOUGH I GOT PEOPLE. YOU KNOW,
I'VE GOT CONFLICTS IN MY
DISTRICT AT 11 AREA THAT DOESN'T
WANT IT ANOTHER ANOTHER. THAT
DOES, BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE FOR
CONSERVATION. IF OUR LITTLE TOWN
OF CAN DO 50% CONSERVATION. WE
NEED THE REST OF STATE TO DO A
HECK OF A LOT MORE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. DOCTOR WOULD AND
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING
TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. MS
FRIEDMAN, YOU MAY CLOSE. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. I APPRECIATE
THE ROBUST DEBATE FROM ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES. CERTAINLY IF THERE'S
SOMETHING THAT'S WORTH US HAVING
A DISCUSSION ABOUT ITS WATER
RIGHT NOW IN CALIFORNIA. I WOULD
LIKE TO AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO ABOUT A FEW
THINGS EVEN THOUGH HE SPOKE IN
OPPOSITION OF THE BILL. WHEN HE
WAS YOUNGER. HE WAS SAYING OR
YEARS AGO. THE WATER USE IS
MUCH, MUCH HIGHER THAN IT IS NOW
AND NOW ARE IN OUR INDIVIDUAL
WATER USE IS MUCH LOWER. I WILL
DISAGREE ABOUT THESE NUMBERS
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT COMING
FROM ISRAEL, WHERE THESE NUMBERS
COME FROM, ACTUALLY IS TRACKING
THAT DECLINE IN WATER USE AND
TRACKING THAT OUT AND SAYING, IF
WE CONTINUE TO CONSERVE AND
CONTINUE TO INVEST IN EFFICIENCY
, THAT'S WHERE WE CAN GET TO AND
LET'S BE CLEAR. WATER EFFICIENCY
HAS BEEN VERY SPOTTY ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. YOU HAVE
SOME AGENCIES LIKE IN SAN DIEGO,
WHO HAVE HEAVILY INVESTED IN
WATER CONSERVATION AND WATER
EFFICIENCY WITH THEIR USERS,
MEANING THEY'RE NOT TELLING
THEIR PEOPLE DON'T TAKE SHOWERS
. WHAT THEY'RE SAYING IS WE AS A
WATER AGENCY WILL HELP YOU SAVE
WATER BY GIVING YOU LOW FLOW
SHOWERHEADS BY GIVING YOU
INCENTIVES TO REPLACE YOUR
TOILETS WITH LOW FLOW TOILETS BY
HELPING YOU WITH YOUR IRRIGATION
SYSTEMS BY HELPING YOU SWITCH
OVER TO DRIBBLE GATIEN SO THAT
WE CAN HAVE THE WATER FOR THE
THINGS WE REALLY WANT TO USE IT
FOR, LIKE WASHING OUR CHILDREN.
AND USE LESS OF IT AND THINGS WE
DON'T WANT, LIKE HAVING YOUR
SPRINKLERS PUT WATER DOWN THE
SEWER SYSTEM TO PUTTING DOWN THE
STREET INSTEAD OF WHERE YOU NEED
IT. IF YOU USE THE WATER
EFFICIENTLY, YOU HAVE A LOT MORE
WATER FOR THE THINGS YOU REALLY
WANTED FOR, AND YOU'RE JUST NOT
WASTING. SO WHAT THIS BILL SAYS
IS WATER AGENCIES ALL ACROSS THE
STATE. WE WANT ALL OF YOU TO
CARE ABOUT EFFICIENCY. WE WANT
ALL OF YOU TO INVEST IN
EFFICIENCY EQUALLY, EVEN THOSE
OF YOU THAT ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO
LIVE IN AREAS WITH A LOT OF
WATER BECAUSE IT'S THE WATER
BELONGS TO THE WHOLE STATE. SO
IT TRIES TO GET EVERYONE ON THE
SAME PAGE AS SAN DIEGO. WHICH IS
WHICH IS VERY CLOSE TO THESE
TARGETS ALREADY. AND THAT'S HOW
WE KNOW WE CAN ALL DO IT, BUT WE
ALL HAVE TO TAKE IT MORE
SERIOUSLY. AND THAT'S WHY THE
AGENCIES LIKE WHERE MY COLLEAGUE
FROM MENDES ITO IS TALKING ABOUT
WHERE THEY ARE ABLE TO SAVE 50%
BECAUSE IT TOOK THEM A LONG TIME
TO KIND OF GET ON THE PROGRAM.
NOW, OF COURSE, WE NEED STORAGE.
OF COURSE, WE NEED LOTS OF
RESILIENCE, SOURCES OF WATER,
BUT WE ALSO HAVE TO INVEST IN
EFFICIENCY. THAT'S WHAT THIS
BILL DOES. WE KNOW THE TARGETS
ARE ACHIEVABLE WERE NO. WE KNOW
THAT WE'RE ALREADY ON TRACK FOR
THEM. AND WE NEED TO ALL
RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS THE ONE
ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT
WE HAVE TO INVEST. OUR FUTURE
REALLY DOES DEPEND ON IT. WATER
IS LIFE WITHOUT WATER AND
WITHOUT SAVING THAT WATER NOW
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A
CALIFORNIA URGENT I VOTE. THANK
YOU, MR FREEMAN AND CLERK WILL

ON BEHALF OF SENATOR PORTANTINO
. THIS BILL WOULD PROVIDE LOCAL
AGENCIES WITH THE ASSISTANCE
THEY NEED TO MEET THE STATE'S
ORGANIC WASTE REQUIREMENTS AND
FURTHER OUR CLIMATE GOALS. TO
REDUCE METHANE EMISSIONS. THE
STATE AIR RESOURCES BOARD AND
COWER CYCLE REQUIRES LOCAL
AGENCIES TO REDUCE AND
EVENTUALLY ELIMINATE ORGANIC
MATERIALS SUCH AS FOOD WASTE,
COMPOSED TABLES AND OTHER
MATERIALS FROM DISPOSAL
FACILITIES. CURRENT LAW, AND THE
MOST RECENT BUDGET ACT CONTAINS
SIGNIFICANT NEW DIRECTIVES AND
FUNDING FOR THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
, INCLUDING ORGANIC WASTE
REDUCTION. HOWEVER LOCAL
AGENCIES NEED ASSISTANCE FROM
THE STATE IN ORDER TO MEET THESE
REQUIREMENTS. SP 45 WILL HELP
LOCAL AGENCIES SECURE THIS
ASSISTANCE BY EXPRESSLY

INOCULATING GREENHOUSE GASSES.
AND SOME OF THEM WERE STONE YOU
MAY OPEN. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER
AND MEMBERS. I AM HAPPY TO
PRESENT SP 13 91 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR KAMLAGER. NOW THE CAP
AND TRADE SYSTEM WITH SOMETHING
THAT WAS IMPERFECT WHEN IT WAS
PUT IN PLACE, BUT THERE ARE SOME
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THAT NEED TO
HAPPEN TO ENSURE THAT THE
RESOURCES ARE GETTING WHERE THEY
WERE INTENDED WHEN CAP AND TRADE
WAS PUT IN PLACE. SENATOR
KAMLAGER IS BILL SB 13. 91 IS A
REFORM AND WHAT IT DOES IS IT
ENSURES THAT THOSE MONIES GO TO
SOME OF THE AREAS IN CALIFORNIA
THAT HAS BEEN THE HARDEST
IMPACTED. IF YOU LOOK AT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES IN
CALIFORNIA, IT'S BEEN VERY
THEY'VE BEEN VERY STRONG IN THE
AGGREGATE. BUT THEY HAVE NOT
BEEN STRONG, DEPENDING ON THE
NEIGHBORHOOD THAT WE'RE LOOKING
AT. THIS IS A BILL THAT WOULD
REFOCUS HAPPENED TRADE REVENUES
AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY GO AND
AFFECT SOME OF THE UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES THAT WE REALLY NEED
THEM TO DO WITH THAT. I ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU, MR STONE.
AND REMEMBER FLORA. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN OPPOSITION
, SOMEBODY THAT SUPPORTED THE
ORIGINAL CAP AND TRADE PROGRAM
AND A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO. AND
WAS INTIMATELY INVOLVED WITH
THAT DEAL. UM FROM THAT MOMENT
ON. WE'VE BEEN IN THIS FIGHT
WITH SOME OF OUR BEAR MORE URBAN
AREAS TO REALLOCATE SOME OF
THOSE MONIES, AND THIS IS JUST
THE NEXT STEP AT THAT. WE TALK
ABOUT LOW INCOME AND UNDERSERVED
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE THE HARDEST
HIT WITH AIR QUALITY CAP AND
TRADE DOLLARS ENGINE REPLACEMENT
PROGRAM. THE TRACTOR REPLACEMENT
PROGRAM. THOSE TYPES OF PROGRAMS
ARE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PROGRAMS
CARB HAS EVER PUT IN PLACE. THIS
BILL HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
UNWIND THAT SOMETHING THAT A LOT
OF US TOOK A LOT OF POLITICAL
CAPITAL TO SUPPORT AND THIS BILL
WOULD BE DEVASTATING TO THOSE
EFFORTS. THE MEN AND WOMEN IN MY
AREA WHO HAVE SEEN DRAMATIC
CHANGES TO THE POSITIVE WITH
THEIR QUALITY. THIS BILL COULD
HURT THEM. SO I DO GET TIRED A
LITTLE BIT. WE HEAR ABOUT
UNDERSERVED AND LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES THAT THE CENTRAL
VALLEY SEEMS TO BE LEFT OUT OF
THAT CONVERSATION. CONSTANTLY
RESPECT TO KNOW THE THANK YOU,
MR FLORA. AND SEEING NO MEMBERS
WISHING TO DISCUSS THIS BILL.
FURTHER, MR STONE, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES IN THE CAP AND TRADE
SYSTEM THAT WERE MEANT TO BE
ADDRESSED AT THE TIME WAS IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A SYSTEM WHERE
THERE WERE ALLOCATIONS TO
COMPANIES SO THAT THEY WOULD
START TO BE ABLE TO REDUCE THE
AREA IMPACT AND AS IT TURNS OUT,
AND A LOT OF TIMES WE ARE PAYING
SOME OF THESE CAPTAIN TRADE
DOLLARS INTO ORGANIZATIONS
WITHOUT THEIR THAT OBLIGATION TO
ACTUALLY REDUCE POLLUTION.
THAT'S WHAT THIS CHANGE IS
ABOUT. AS IT IS TRYING TO PUT
SOME DISCIPLINE AROUND THAT CAP
AND TRADE SYSTEM AND ENSURE THAT
WE ACTUALLY SEE REDUCTIONS IN
EMISSIONS IN CARBON EMISSIONS
AND OTHERS THAT THAT BENEFIT
CALIFORNIANS ACROSS THE BOARD,
ESPECIALLY IN THOSE UNDER SERVED
COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY HAVE NOT
SEEN A LOT OF THE REDUCTIONS IN
EMISSIONS THAT THAT WERE
PROMISED. THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
IS ABOUT. I ASKED FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU. MR STONE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROOM. ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTES. DESIRE TO VOTE.
MR STONE MOVES THE CALL. NEXT.
WE WILL BE MOVING FORWARD TO
TAKE UP FILE ITEM. 1 51. THIS IS
SB 11. 62 CLERK WILL READ. THE
BILL 11 62 BY SENATOR LIMÓN AND
OTHERS AND ACCOLADES TO
EMPLOYMENT, ASSEMBLYWOMAN
GARCIA. YOU MAY OPEN. THANK YOU,
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. THIS IS, UM
A BILL BY MS LIMÓN. IT'S A
WOMAN'S CAUCUS PRIORITY BILL.
THIS LEGISLATION WILL INCREASE
PAY TRANSPARENCY IN ORDER TO
NARROW THE GENDER AND RACE WHICH
GAP ACCORDING TO A RECENT
ANALYSIS OF PAID DATA IN 2020,
CALIFORNIA WOMEN LOST $46
BILLION DUE TO THE GENDER PAY
GAP AND PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THE
STATE LAST 61 BILLION DUE TO THE
RACE PAY GAP. THE WAGE GAP
PERSISTS ACROSS INDUSTRIES,
OCCUPATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL
LEVELS AND EXACTS A HEAVY TOLL
NOT ONLY ON WOMEN AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR, BUT ALSO ON FAMILIES.
THEY SUPPORT AND THE ECONOMY AS
A WHOLE. SPECIFICALLY SB 11 62
WILL HELP NARROW THE WAGE GAP BY
REQUIRING EMPLOYERS WITH 15, OR
MORE EMPLOYEES TO INCLUDE SALARY
RANGES ON ALL JOB POSTINGS.
CALIFORNIA IS ALREADY BEHIND
OTHER STATES AND LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS AND REQUIRING THE
DISCLOSURE OF SALARY RANGES
INCLUDING WASHINGTON STATE,
COLORADO, NEW YORK CITY AND SOON
TO BE THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT WHEN SALARY
RANGES ARE DISCLOSED UPFRONT,
WOMEN ARE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE
AND MORE AND ARE MORE SUCCESSFUL
IN NEGOTIATING AND THE GENDER
GAP NARROWS. INCLUDING SALARY
RANGES ON JOB POSTINGS ALSO
HELPS BUSINESSES EFFICIENTLY
HIRE AND RETAIN THE BEST TALENT
THAT MATCHES THEIR NEEDS AND
EMPLOYERS ARE OVERWHELMINGLY
RECOGNIZED THAT THIS IS AN
INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICE. IN FACT
, EARLY DATA FROM COLORADO
SUGGESTS MORE PEOPLE WANT TO
FIND WORK IN COLORADO. NOW THAT
EMPLOYERS ARE REQUIRED TO LIST
SALARY RANGES AND JOB POSTING.
SP 11 62 WILL ALSO HELP SHED
LIGHT ON GENDER AND RACE
DISPARITIES AND EMPLOYMENT WITH
THIRD PARTY STAFFING AGENCIES.
THIS BILL BUILDS ON EXISTING

COMMITTEE. MEMBERS. WE WILL NOW
TAKE UP.
MEMBERS WE WILL BE TAKING UP
WITHOUT REFERENCE TO FILE A B 21
83 PURPLE RAIN 21 83 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S STONE AND
OTHERS. IN ACTUALITY TO
EMPLOYMENT STONE, YOU MAY OPEN
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. WE ALL KNOW THAT OUR
VOTE IS OUR VOICE. AND YET WE'VE
BEEN STRUGGLING OVER THE YEARS
TO GIVE FARM WORKERS THE VOICE
THAT THEY DESERVE BEING ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE. IN AN ELECTION TO
UNIONIZE WITHOUT EXTERNAL
COERCION WITHOUT EXTERNAL
PRESSURE, AND IN A WAY THAT
SUITS THEM. WE GET TO TAKE A
BALLOT HOME. VOTE OUR CONSCIENCE
SEAL IT UP. MAIL IT IN. WORKERS
UNDER THE CURRENT LAW, DON'T GET
TO DO THAT. THEY GO TO A POLLING
PLACE THAT IS UNDER GROWERS
PROPERTY. THEY'RE USUALLY DRIVEN
THERE BY THE GROWERS PERSONNEL,
AND THEY'RE UNDER A TREMENDOUS
AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. DURING THAT
TIME ON HOW WHETHER HOW TO VOTE
WHETHER OR NOT THEY'RE GOING TO
BE SELECTING A UNION OR NOT.
THIS BILL HAS BEEN ON QUITE A
JOURNEY. YOU KNOW IT WAS VETOED
LAST YEAR. AND THIS YEAR WE
STARTED BY ENGAGING WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE. IN JANUARY.
AND WITH THE AGRICULTURAL LABOR
RELATIONS BOARD, AND I REALLY
HAVE TO HAND IT TO THE GOVERNOR
AND HIS TEAM. FOR STAYING WITH
US FOR TALKING TO US FOR
NEGOTIATING IN GOOD FAITH AND
VERY, VERY SIGNIFICANTLY AND
HAVING THE EXPERTISE OF THE LRB
AT THE TABLE. THAT'S REALLY BEEN
THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE BEEN
THROUGH. AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH
THIS PROCESS, THE GOVERNOR
PROPOSED A FRAMEWORK OVER A
MONTH AGO. AND WE PUT TOGETHER A
LANGUAGE TO IMPLEMENT THAT
FRAMEWORK. WE KNOW THAT THE
GOVERNOR DOESN'T COMPLETELY
AGREE WITH HOW WE'VE IMPLEMENTED
IT. BUT IF WE DON'T IMPLEMENT
WITH WHAT'S BEEN WRITTEN THAN
THE FARM WORKERS ARE REALLY NOT
GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE
VOTE. THE WAY THAT THEY FEEL
THEY NEED TO TAKE THAT BOAT. A
BALLOT. THAT'S THERE'S THAT'S
THEIR VOTE. THAT IS A SECRET
BALLOT THAT THEY GET TO VOTE
THEIR CONSCIENCE THEIR WAY.
THOSE ARE THE PROCESS THAT THAT
WE HAVE SET UP. I'M HOPING THAT
THE GOVERNOR EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE
SOME DISAGREEMENT ON A FEW PARTS
OF THIS, WE'LL SEE HIS WAY TO
SIGNING IT. THAT'S REALLY NOT
THE QUESTION BEFORE US TODAY,
THE QUESTION BEFORE US TODAY. IS
THAT WE HAVE PUT TOGETHER A VERY
SOLID MECHANISM. FOR FARM
WORKERS TO BE ABLE TO VOTE THE
WAY THEY WANT TO VOTE. AND
THAT'S THE BILL THAT'S BEFORE
YOU TODAY IT WAS AMENDED IN THE
SENATE. TRYING TO INCORPORATE
WHAT THE GOVERNOR REALLY NEEDED
FROM THIS AND WE'VE DONE MOST
ALL OF THAT FACT. BECAUSE OF
THAT LAST BIT OF DIFFERENCE. WE
HAVE A SUNSET. WHAT A FIVE YEAR
SUNSET ON HERE SO WE CAN TEST
THIS AND A SUNSET IS A GOOD
MECHANISM TO COME BACK AFTER A
WHILE. SEE WHAT'S WORKED. WHAT
HASN'T WORKED AND THEN BE ABLE
TO AMEND THIS PROCESS AS
NECESSARY. MEMBERS. I THINK THIS
IS GOING TO WORK. AND WE HAVE
THAT OUT OF A SUNSET. IT'S A
STRONG POLICY. IT'S A HIGHLY
NEGOTIATED POLICY AND FOR FARM
WORKERS, A LOT OF THEM AND WE
HAVE SOME IN THE GALLERY RIGHT
NOW WALKED ALMOST 350 MILES
BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS THAT
IMPORTANT TO THEM. IT IS
FUNDAMENTAL TO THEIR VOICE. IT
IS FUNDAMENTAL FOR THEM TO BE
ABLE TO EXERCISE TRUE CHOICE.
AND I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE ON A B
21 83. THANK YOU, MR STONE AND
SEVEN MEMBER CHOLERA WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. MR
SPEAKER REMEMBERS I RISE AS A
PROUD JOINT AUTHOR. OF A B 21
83. AND I WANT TO BEGIN BY
EXTENDING MY GRATITUDE TO OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM SANTA CRUZ DOING
A REMARKABLE JOB OF NOT JUST
LEADING THIS EFFORT AS AUTHOR,
BUT HE AND HIS TEAM ARE WORKING
SO DILIGENTLY WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION TO RELIEVE AS
MANY CONCERNS AS POSSIBLE AND AS
CORRECTLY STATED WITH THE
ADDITION OF A SUNSET PROVISION,
ANY CONCERNS THAT MAYBE
OUTSTANDING CAN BE RESOLVED
DURING THAT TIME PERIOD. HOWEVER
I WANT TO GO TO A MORE
FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE. DURING
ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME OF THIS
PANDEMIC, THAT WE ARE ALL STILL
LIVING THROUGH. UH THE REALITY
IS THAT NONE OF US COULD HAVE
MADE IT THROUGH. OUR FAMILIES
COULD NOT HAVE SURVIVED. IT
WASN'T FOR THE FARM WORKERS.
THEY WERE TOILING IN THE FIELDS
DURING WILDFIRES WHILE WE WERE
ADVISED TO STAY INDOORS. THEY
CONTINUED TO WORK. THEY FEED US.
THEY HAVE ALWAYS FED US. AND YET
IF WE LOOK AT RECENT YEARS THEIR
RIGHTS HAVE BEEN ERODED. THEIR
RIGHTS HAVE BEEN ERODED NOT ONLY
IN TERMS OF THEIR ABILITY TO
ORGANIZE, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT
COURT CASES, IT'S MADE IT EVEN
MORE DIFFICULT TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THEM FOR THOSE THAT WISH TO
EMPOWER THEM. AND SO WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY RIGHT NOW TO HELP A
GROUP OF WORKERS. THAT
OFTENTIMES ARE ISOLATED UNDER
THE CONTROL OF THE EMPLOYERS NOT
ONLY UNDER CONTROL THE PLACE
WHERE THEY WORK, BUT HOW THEY'RE
TRANSPORTED WHERE THEY'RE
LIVING. AND SO THE IDEA OF
VOTING. BY MAIL. BEING ABLE TO
TAKE THE TIME TO DECIDE. BEING
ABLE TO DO IT IN PRIVACY WITHOUT
COERCION. THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR
ALL OF US. WHEN WE THINK ABOUT
JUST VOTING FOR ELECTIONS. IT'S
EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT WHEN YOU
CONSIDER THE CONDITIONS UNDER
WHICH FARM WORKERS WORK AND
LIVE. AND SO I AM POOR. ALL OF
YOU TO SUPPORT A B 21 83.
BECAUSE THIS IS NOT JUST, UM, A
BILL. ABOUT EMPOWERING WORKERS.
IT'S TRULY A BILL THAT'S ABOUT
THE LIVELIHOOD AND THE DIGNITY
OF THOSE THAT WE OFTEN TIMES
HAILED AS HEROES. I THINK WE
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW
THAT WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT
THEY ARE HEROES TO US. BY
SUPPORTING A B 21 83. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR CHOLERA AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CERVANTES. YOU
WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY I RISE
IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY BILL 21
83 AS VICE CHAIR OF THE
CALIFORNIA LATINO LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS AND AS A PROUD CO WATER.
I DO WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR OF
THE BILL, AS WELL AS THE BILL
SPONSORS THE UNITED FARM WORKERS
AND ACKNOWLEDGE EVERY SINGLE
MARCHER WHO'S PARTICIPATED IN
ANY PART OF THE 24 DAY 335 MILE
MARCH FROM DELANOE TO
SACRAMENTO. AS THE WORLD'S FIFTH
LARGEST SUPPLIER OF FOOD AND
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
CALIFORNIA IS KNOWN AS THE
BREADBASKET OF THE WORLD AND
EMPLOYEES, THE MOST AGRICULTURAL
WORKERS IN THE NATION. IT IS
THANKS TO THE BACK BREAKING WORK
OF FARM WORKERS THAT ARE
FAMILIES CAN PUT FRESH
CALIFORNIA GROWN FOOD ON OUR
TABLES. FARM WORKERS ARE
LITERALLY THE BACKBONE OF OUR
ECONOMY AS OUR CAUCUS CHAIR,
SENATOR DURAZO SAID AT A RALLY
HERE AT THE CAPITOL ON FRIDAY.
AT THE BEGINNING OF THE PANDEMIC
, WE HAVE SHORTAGES OF TOILET
PAPER SHORTAGES OF HAND
SANITIZER. BUT IN THE EARLIEST
DAYS OF THE STAY AT HOME ORDER,
WE NEVER HAD A SHORTAGE OF FOOD.
THAT IS THANKS TO OUR FARM
WORKERS. THEY STAY IN THE FIELDS
TO WORK, ENSURING THAT THE REST
OF US STILL HAVE FOOD ON OUR
TABLE WHILE WE WERE IN LOCKDOWN
TO FLATTEN THE CURVE AND RELIEVE
THE PRESSURE ON OUR HOSPITAL
SYSTEM. SACRIFICES MUST NOT GO
UNNOTICED, OR UN REMEMBERED. 97%
OF FARM WORKERS ARE LATINO, AND
MANY ARE UNDOCUMENTED. FORMING A
UNION IS OFTEN THE ONLY CHANCE
THEY HAVE TO BAND TOGETHER TO
MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD AND
PROTECT THEIR RIGHTS. FARM
WORKERS DESERVE TO DO SO WITHOUT
FEAR OF INTIMIDATION, JUST LIKE
EVERYONE ELSE. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY HERE TO PUT WORDS
INTO ACTION TO SHOW OUR FARM
WORKERS THAT THEY ARE
APPRECIATED THAT THEY ARE VALUED
THAT THEIR VOICES MATTER. WE
MUST DO BETTER. WE WILL DO
BETTER FOR FARMWORKERS
COLLEAGUES. I RESPECTFULLY I ASK
YOU TO JOIN US TO JOIN OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM MONTEREY BAY. AND
ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE ON
CONCURRENCE IN THE SENATE

THEIR WORK THAT THEY DO TO PUT
FOOD ON OUR TABLES. A FEW YEARS
BACK. WE PASSED FARMWORKER OVER
TIME. AND THAT GROUP OF WORKERS
HAD BEEN THE LAST GROUP OF
WORKERS TO BE, UH, HAVING THE
SAME PRIVILEGES OF ALL OTHER
WORKERS. IT IS TIME THAT THEY
HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS THAT WE DO
WHEN IT COMES TO VOTING. I URGE
YOU TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND
VOTE YES, ON A B 21 83. THANK
YOU. SUMMER MEDINA. AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S. CARILLO.

THANK YOU, MR ALVAREZ. AND THE
SEVEN MEMBER BENNETT YOU ARE

MR SPEAKER. IN THIS ERA OF
GROWING INCOME INEQUALITY. WE
HAVE TO ASK OURSELVES CAN
FARMWORKERS WITHOUT UNION
REPRESENTATION ACTUALLY TAKE
CARE OF THEMSELVES IN THE
MARKETPLACE? I DON'T THINK
THERE'S ANY QUESTION THE HISTORY
OF THE UNITED STATES SHOWS US
OVER AND OVER AGAIN. UNION
MEMBERSHIP IS ESSENTIAL AND THIS
UNIQUE CHALLENGE THAT FARM
WORKERS HAVE TO GET ORGANIZED.
NEEDS THIS EXTRA LEGISLATION. I
THINK BACK TO THE 19 THIRTIES
WHEN THEY CAME UP WITH
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING%
LEGISLATION. IT WAS CRUCIAL FOR
THOSE UNIONS TO HAVE THAT
ASSISTANCE. AND THIS TIME THE
SAME THING IS TRUE FOR THE
UNITED FARM WORKERS. I STRONGLY
ENCOURAGE AND I VOTE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR BENNETT. MAJORITY
LEADER RAISE YOUR RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I STAND
ALSO URGING AN AYE VOTE. ON. A B
21 83. I AM A PROUD JOINT AUTHOR
WITH MR STONE AND MR CHOLERA. AS
MANY OF YOU KNOW, AT THE AGE OF
12. I WORKED IN THE FIELDS
PICKING ONIONS AND GRAPES WITH
MY MOTHER AND MY FIVE SIBLINGS.
THIS IS HOW WE PUT THAT CLOTHES
ON OUR BACK TO START SCHOOL.
THERE'S AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR
LIVES. THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
FARM WORKERS THAT DO NOT HAVE
THE RIGHT TO VOTE. WITHOUT THE
FEAR OF RETALIATION OR
DEPORTATION. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE
SHAME. THIS IS WHAT THE BILL
SEEKS TO DO IS TO PROVIDE THEM
THAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO
VOTE TO FORM A UNION TO JOIN THE
UNION WITHOUT THAT FEAR OF
RETALIATION OR DEPORTATION.
THEY'RE ESSENTIAL WORKERS. WE
KNOW IT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT.
WE BELIEVE IT. WE WE PRAISE THEM
FOR ALL THE WORK THAT THEY DID
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALWAYS HAD
FOOD ON OUR TABLE. AND I
APPRECIATE MY COLLEAGUE FROM
RIVERSIDE WHO HAD A QUOTE FROM
SENATOR DURAZO, WHICH WAS A VERY
QUOTE I WANTED TO SHARE SENATOR
DURAZO. ALSO SHARED ON FRIDAY
THAT WEN WE HAD SUCH A SHORTAGE
OF SO MANY PRODUCTS DURING THE
PANDEMIC. THE ONE THING WE
DIDN'T HAVE A SHORTAGE OF WAS
FOOD, AND THAT'S BECAUSE OUR
FARM WORKERS MADE SURE WE HAD
FOOD ON OUR TABLE. DEGREE NOSE
RADIUS CALLED TRASCENDENTALES
GUARANTEE SINGLE MEDIA'S ON. BUT
YOU GOTTA KEEP CAPITAL LEO AS A
CASA. TO THE TO THE FARM WORKERS
WHO DID THE PILGRIMAGE 345 MILES
FROM DELANOE TO REACH THE
CAPITAL. I WELCOME THEM TO THEIR
HOUSE TO THEIR TO THE ASSEMBLY
TO THEIR HOUSE. WHAT WE WANT TO
DO IS TO GIVE A VOICE. TO THE
FARM WORKERS. THIS IS THE VOICE
THEY DESERVE. I URGE YOU I VOTE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS
REYES. AND SEEING SOME OF THE
GABRIEL YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR OF THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION. MY STAFF
AND I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
SPENDING SOME TIME WITH THE FARM
WORKERS LAST WEEK AND I WAS
REALLY STRUCK BY ONE OF THE
COMMENTS. THAT WAS SHARED WITH
ME BY THE PRESIDENT TERESA
ROMERO. WHO SAID THAT ONE OF THE
FARM WORKERS SHARED WITH HER
THAT DURING THE PANDEMIC SHE
SAID. THE FARM WORKERS SAID THEY
THEY TELL US WHERE ESSENTIAL BUT
THEY TREAT US LIKE WE'RE
DISPOSABLE. AND THAT REALLY
STUCK WITH ME, AND I THINK THAT
IF THERE IS ANY GROUP OF WORKERS
IN THE STATE THAT IS MORE
VULNERABLE. THAT IS HAS MORE OF
A POWER IMBALANCE. IT IS
DIFFICULT FOR ME TO THINK OF
ONE. THESE ARE FOLKS WHO WORK
DAY AND NIGHT TO PUT FOOD ON OUR
TABLES TO SUPPORT ALL OF OUR
COMMUNITIES. I REPRESENT A
DISTRICT THAT DOESN'T HAVE A LOT
OF AGRICULTURE IN IT. BUT IT
DOES HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
LIKE TO EAT. THIS IS A BILL THAT
IMPACTS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US
IN THIS STATE. IT IS TIME THAT
WE TREAT OUR FARM WORKERS WITH
THE DIGNITY AND THE RESPECT THAT
THEY DESERVE. I URGE A STRONG I
VOTE ON A B 21 83. THANK YOU, MR

ACCEPTED. FORENSIC METHODS HAVE
BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO BE INVALID
, AND AS A RESULT, THE FBI HAS
SINCE ABANDONED PREVIOUSLY
BELIEVED INDICATORS OF ARSON
IDENTIFICATION AND COMPARATIVE
BULLET LIKE ANALYSIS. THESE
SCIENTIFICALLY INCONCLUSIVE
FORMS OF EVIDENCE ARE OFTEN
JUDGED AS RELIABLE EVIDENCE IN
COURT TO A LACK OF LEGAL
SECURITY SCRUTINY ON EXPERT
TESTIMONY AND FORENSIC SCIENCE.
EXPERT OPINIONS CAN BE VERY
PERSUASIVE AND INFLUENTIAL TO AN
OUTCOME OF TRIAL AND ARE OFTEN
ASSUMED TO BE DATA AND RESEARCH
DRIVEN AND SCIENTIFICALLY BASED
, HOWEVER, EXPERTS SOMETIMES
OFFER OPINIONS THAT LACK
EVIDENCE WITH VALID MYTHOLOGY,
METHODOLOGY OR SOUND LOGIC. I
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE IN ENSURING
THAT WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO
ENSURE THAT WE ARTICULATE A
BETTER DEFINITION OF FALSE
TESTIMONY. THANK YOU, MISS BONTA

WOLVERINE SENATE BILL 6 49 BY

ACCOLADES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
HOWEVER CHOLERA YOU MAY OPEN
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS
TODAY I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT SP
6 49 ON BEHALF OF SENATOR
CORTEGE TO BUILD THAT ALLIANCE
TENANT PREFERENCES WITH THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
REQUIREMENTS TO ALLOW HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS THAT USE TAX CREDIT
OR BOND FINANCING TO REDUCE
DISPLACEMENT BY USING TENANT
PREFERENCES. COVID 19 IS
AMPLIFIED THE DISPLACEMENT
PRESSURES EXPERIENCED BY
CALIFORNIA'S MOST VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS THROUGH REDUCED
INCOMES AND RISING HOUSING
COSTS. DISPLACEMENT CAUSES LOWER
INCOME RESIDENTS OR JUST A
PORTION OF PEOPLE OF COLOR, REAL
TANGIBLE ISSUES, INCLUDING
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH
PROBLEMS, EDUCATIONAL
DEFICIENCIES. DISPLACEMENT
PRESSURES ALSO CAUSED US TO LOSE
OUR NEIGHBORS. A RECENT STUDY IN
SANTA COUNTY SO THAT OVER HALF
OF DISPLACED LOW INCOME
RESIDENTS HAD TO LEAVE THEIR
COMMUNITIES. LOCAL TENANT
PREFERENCES ARE A CRITICAL OOL
. MANY CITIES HAVE USED TO HELP
STABILIZE NEIGHBORHOODS AND
PRIORITIZE AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS. AT RISK OF
THE PLACEMENT, HOWEVER, LOCAL
TENANT PREFERENCES LIKE THE
STATEWIDE LEGISLATIVE SUPPORT
NECESSARY FOR CITIES AND
COUNTIES TO CONFIDENTLY USE THEM
IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING
DEVELOPMENTS FUNDED WITH TAX
CREDITS AND BOND FINANCING. SP 6
49 CREATES A STATE POLICY THAT
SUPPORTS HOUSING FOR POPULATIONS
AT HIGH RISK. OR BASED ON
DISPLACEMENT SO THAT CITIES AND
COUNTIES CAN USE TENANT
PREFERENCES AND THE REPORTABLE
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS TO PROTECT
THESE VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. I
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THIS THAT THIS
LEGISLATION COMPLEMENTS STATE
AND FEDERAL FAIR HOUSING LAW BY
SUPPORTING LOCAL POLICIES AND
PROGRAMS THAT FOSTER DIVERSITY
AND HOUSING CHOICE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I VOTE.

57 BY US REMEMBER HOLDEN AND
OTHERS AND HAPPILY HAPPILY, THE
FOOD FACILITIES, UNEMPLOYMENT
HOLDING YOU AIN'T OPEN. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. ASSEMBLY BILL 2
57 IS BACK OR CONCURRENCE. IN
JANUARY OF THIS YEAR. I TOOK
AUTHORSHIP OF THIS BILL, AND
DURING THE COURSE OF THIS BILL,
MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH OUR
HOUSE. I MADE A COMMITMENT TO
NOT ONLY HEAR AND UNDERSTAND
YOUR CONCERNS AND THE CONCERNS
OF YOUR FAST FOOD WORKERS,
FRANCHISEES ANDFRANCHISORS BUT
ALSO TO MAKE THIS A
COMPREHENSIVE BILL. THE
DEMONSTRATES THAT WORKING
TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE
MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION THAT
BRINGS REAL SOLUTIONS TO OUR
CONSTITUENTS. MAYBE 2 57 IS A
BILL ABOUT EMPOWERING OUR
CALIFORNIA FAST FOOD WORKERS TO
IMPROVE THEIR WORKPLACE
CONDITIONS WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY
ENSURING THAT OUR SMALL
BUSINESSES ARE EMERGING CHAINS
ARE NOT PLACED AT A COMPETITIVE
DISADVANTAGE. OVER THE COURSE OF
THESE PAST EIGHT MONTHS, WE HAVE
HEARD FAST FOOD WORKERS
EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO WAGE STAFF. DENIAL OF
EARNED SICK DAYS FOR WORKPLACE
SAFETY PRACTICES AND RETALIATION
FOR SPEAKING OUT. WE HAVE ALSO
HEARD FROM OUR FRANCHISEES AND
FRANCHISORS THAT THIS TYPE OF
BEHAVIOR IS NOT TAKING PLACE IN
THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS. LET ME BE
CLEAR. THIS BILL DOES NOT IN ANY
WAY IMPLY THAT ALL FAST FOOD
WORKERS AND FRANCE FRANCE, FAST
FOOD, FRANCHISEES AND
FRANCHISORS MISTREAT THEIR
WORKERS. AS A FORMER FRANCHISEE
. I DID NOT TOLERATE SUCH
BEHAVIOR IN MY ESTABLISHMENT. IF
THERE WAS A WAY TO ENSURE THAT
THIS TYPE OF BEHAVIOR DID NOT
PERMEATE THROUGHOUT OUR FAST
FOOD FRANCHISES, I WOULD HAVE
GLADLY TAKEN A SEAT AT THE
TABLE. IT IS FOR THIS REASON
THAT I BELIEVE THAT A B 2 57 IS
THE MODEL ANSWER BECAUSE IT A
GIVES FRANCHISES. FRANCHISEES
AND WORKERS OF VOICE AND SETTING
THE RULES AND BE CREATES A
STRUCTURE IN WHICH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS HAVE A VENUE TO
CELEBRATE CORROBORATE ON
WORKPLACE SOLUTIONS. BEFORE
PROVIDING SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT
IS IN THIS BILL. LET ME FIRST
DISPEL WHAT IS NOT. JOINT
LIABILITY. AS YOU ALL KNOW, ONE
OF THE PRIMARY CONCERNS THAT I
HEARD FROM YOU AND YOUR DISTRICT
FRANCHISORS AND FRANCHISEES IS
THE ISSUE OF JOINT LIABILITY.
MEMBERS JOINT LIABILITY HAS BEEN
COMPLETELY REMOVED FROM THIS
BILL. IMPROPERLY ABDICATING OUR
LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY TO THE
FAST FOOD COUNCIL. NUMBER TWO.
THIS BILL DOES NOT ADVOCATE
RESPONSIBILITY OF LAWMAKERS.
SEVERAL AMENDMENTS AND
GUARDRAILS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED TO
ENSURE THAT WE RETAIN OUR
ABILITY TO CREATE AN AMEND
LEGISLATION FOR THE BETTERMENT
OF ALL CALIFORNIA'S AND LASTLY,
TILTING THE COUNCIL COMPOSITION
TOWARDS MORE WORKERS. THREE THIS
BILL ENSURES THAT THERE ARE
EQUAL REPRESENTATION OF WORKERS
AND EMPLOYERS. WHAT IS IN THIS
BILL? IT ESTABLISHES A FAST FOOD
COUNCIL. MAYBE 2 57 ESTABLISHES
A FAST FOOD COUNCIL COMPOSED OF
10 MEMBERS WITH THE CHAIRPERSON
OF THE COUNCIL DESIGNATED BY THE
GOVERNOR. MEMBERSHIP INCLUDES A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DIVISION
OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE OF BUSINESS
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. TWO
REPRESENTATIVES OF FAST FOOD
WORKERS TO REPRESENTATIVES OF
ADVOCATES FOR FOOD WORKERS TO
REPRESENTATIVES OF FAST FOOD
FRANCHISORS AND TWO
REPRESENTATIVES OF FAST FOOD
FRANCHISEES. THE PURPOSE OF THE
COUNCIL WOULD BE TO ESTABLISH
SECTOR WIDE MINIMUM STANDARDS ON
WAGES, WORKING HOURS AND OTHER
WORKING CONDITIONS RELATED TO
HEALTH. SAFETY AND WELFARE OF
AND SUPPLYING THE NECESSARY
COSTS OF PROPER LIVING. TOO FAST
FOOD FOOD RESTAURANT WORKERS.
THE COUNCIL WILL SET A MINIMUM
WAGE FOR FAST FOOD WITHIN CLEAR
PARAMETERS THAT ESTABLISHED $22
WAGE CAP IN 2023, THEN ADJUST
ANNUALLY BASED ON CPI. I
CONSISTENT WITH ANNUAL
ADJUSTMENTS AND STATEWIDE
MINIMUM WAGE LAW. MAYBE 2 57
DEFINES CHARACTERISTICS OF A
FAST FOOD RESTAURANT, INCLUDING
THAT THE ESTABLISHMENT BE A PART
OF A SET OF FAST FOOD
RESTAURANTS CONSISTING OF 100 OR
MORE ESTABLISHMENTS NATIONAL
NATIONWIDE. THAT SHARE A COMMON
BRAND OR THAT ARE CHARACTERIZED
BY STANDARDIZED OPTIONS FOR
DECOR, MARKETING, PACKAGING
PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. MAYBE 2
57 REQUIRES THE COUNCIL TO ISSUE
A REPORT TO ANY ON ANY
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
LEGISLATURE BY JANUARY 15TH,
WHICH GIVES SUBSTANTIAL TIME FOR
BOTH HOUSES TO CONSIDER IF
LEGISLATIVE ACTION IS NECESSARY
BEFORE RECOMMENDATIONS CAN GO
INTO EFFECT IN OCTOBER OF A
GIVEN YEAR. AMENDMENTS WERE
PREVIOUSLY ADDED TO ENSURE THAT
ALL MEETINGS AND HEARINGS ARE
SUBJECT TO THE BAGLEY KEEN OPEN
MEETING ACT. AND FINALLY,
MEMBERS A B 2 57 ADDS A SIX YEAR
SUNSET. SO THAT THE PROGRESS OF
THE COUNCIL CAN BE ASSESSED. THE
BILL ALSO SPECIFIES THAT IF THE
COUNCIL IS NO LONGER OPERATIVE,
THE ANNUAL MINIMUM WAGE
ADJUSTMENT WILL CONTINUE.
CLOSING MEMBERS. THE FAST FOOD
WORKERS HAVE TRAVELED FROM ALL
PARTS OF THIS GREAT STATE TO
HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD IN THIS
CAPITAL. THE LEGISLATURE'S
PROCESS POLICY COMMITTEES,
FISCAL COMMITTEES ALL THE WAY TO
THE HALLS OF OUR OFFICES.
THERE'S A SENSE OF URGENCY THAT
SIMPLY CANNOT BE IGNORED. I
BELIEVE THAT I HAVE ADDRESSED
THE PRIMARY CONCERNS OF THE
MEMBERS OF THIS BODY. AND
BECAUSE OF THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
HOLDEN. AND SEEING NO MEMBERS
WISHING TO DISCUSS THIS BILL.

HOUSING. AS A MEMBER WICKS, YOU

AND MEMBERS. I RISE TO PRESENT A
B 2011, WHICH IS BACK ON
CONCURRENCE HERE IN THE ASSEMBLY
HAD PASSED THE SENATE. HOURS AGO
WITH THE 33 0 VOTE, ALTHOUGH I
EXPECT MORE ADD ONS BECAUSE SOME
FOLKS WERE OFF THE FLOOR, WHICH
I KNOW WE KNOW ALL TOO WELL.
THIS BILL, THE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND HIGH ROADS, JOB ACT
IS ESSENTIALLY GONNA ALLOW MORE
HOUSING AND OUR COMMERCIAL
CORRIDORS WHILE THE SAME TIME
CREATING VERY STRONG WORKER
PROTECTIONS AND HIGH WAGES FOR
THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
LITERALLY BACON, BREAKING THEIR
BACK TO BUILD OUR HOMES. IT'S
IMPORTANT THAT WE LOOK OUT AND
ADVOCATE ADVOCATE FOR THEM AT
EVERY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY. WE TOOK
A SERIES OF AMENDMENTS IN THE
SENATE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT WERE RAISED IN
THIS BILL, AND FRANKLY, THERE
WERE A LOT OF THE CONCERNS THAT
WERE RAISED BY CONVERSATIONS I
HAD WITH MANY OF YOU ALL THROUGH
THIS PROCESS. FIRST CITIES, WE
GAVE THEM A TRANSFERABILITY
OPTION SO THAT THE BILL WOULDN'T
APPLY TO SITES THAT THEY WANTED
TO PROTECT AS LONG AS THEY UP
ZONED SOMEWHERE ELSE. THE
EQUIVALENT SIZE OF LAND FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES. WE REQUIRE
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE ON SITES
WHERE DEVELOPER PROPOSES TO USE
THE BILL. AND FOR OUR LOW INCOME
AND VERY LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES
, WE CREATED AN OPTION FOR MORE
DEEPLY TARGETED AFFORDABLE
HOUSING TO ENSURE THAT WE WERE
LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE. THIS
IS THE FIRST TIME BY THE WAY
THAT WE WILL SEE THE PRIVATE
MARKET BUILDING HOUSING FOR
EXTREMELY LOW INCOME HOUSEHOLDS
. THIS BILL ALONG WITH ITS
COMPANION BILL, SB SIX, HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO TRANSFORM HOUSING
POLICY HERE IN CALIFORNIA. AND I
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND JUST
APPRECIATE THE PROCESS THAT WE
HAVE UNDERGONE TO GET HERE TODAY
. I WANT TO SPECIFICALLY CALL
OUT THANKS AND APPRECIATION TO
THE MY COLLEAGUES ON THE HOUSING

VERY TOUGH VOTES ON THIS BILL

THIS PROCESS, BUT VOTED FOR THIS
BILL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO SEE
THE CONVERSATION MOVING FORWARD.
AND THEY WANTED TO GIVE US A
CHANCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CONTINUE TO TRY TO GET TO
SOLUTION AND WITHOUT VOTES
COMING OUT OF THAT WE WOULD WE

EARLIER ITERATION OF THIS BILL.

SPACE. UM I'M THANKFUL FRANKLY,
TO THE REPUBLICANS WHO CAME TO
THE TABLE TO REALLY THINK
THROUGH WHAT WE COULD DO HERE

IDEOLOGICAL BACKGROUNDS, WORKING
TOGETHER TO SOLVE OUR PROBLEMS.

YEAR PRODUCED MORE THAN 20,000.
NEW, AFFORDABLE HOMES. THE LACK
OF SUPPLY AND NEW DEVELOPMENT
HAS PUSHED HOMEOWNERSHIP FURTHER
OUT OF REACH FOR HARDWORKING
FAMILIES AND CAUSED THE MEDIUM
PRICE OF THE SINGLE FAMILY HOME
TO SOAR BEYOND. $827,000. THIS
IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. MAYBE
2011 WILL HELP US GET MORE OF

BUILT WHILE SUPPORTING WORKERS

PRESCRIPTION DRUGS OFFER WIDE
RANGING BENEFITS LIKE REDUCING

SENATE BILL 10 20 BY SENATOR
LAIRD AND OTHERS IN THE CLIMATE
CHANGE, REMEMBER, GARCIA, YOU
MAY OPEN. HANK YOU, MR SPEAKER
AND COLLEAGUES ARE RISE TO
PRESENT SENATE BILL 10 20 THAT
ENACTS THE CLEAN ENERGY JOBS AND
AFFORDABILITY ACT OF 2022.
MEMBERS. WE AS A HOUSE ALONGSIDE
OUR PARTNERS IN THE SENATE HAVE
WORKED SESSION AFTER SESSION ON
AGGRESSIVE AND GROUNDBREAKING
POLICIES THAT REDUCE OUR STATE'S
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS AND
DEVELOP NEW TOOLS AND PROGRAMS
TO ENSURE COMMUNITIES ARE
RESILIENT TO CLIMATE CHANGE. OUR
STATE'S REDUCTION GOALS ARE
AMBITIOUS STATE LAW REQUIRES
STATEWIDE GHG EMISSIONS TO BE
REDUCED TO AT LEAST 40% BELOW
THE 1990 LEVEL BY 2030.
CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL
AT ACHIEVING THESE GOALS AT
LEAST SO FAR. BUT CONTINUED
PROGRESS IS NOT GUARANTEED, AND
THE LATEST PROJECTIONS SHOW
CALIFORNIA FALLING TO MEET.
THESE EMISSIONS REDUCTION GOALS.
SB 10 20 CONTAINS SEVERAL KEY
ELEMENTS TO ACCOMPLISH THESE
OBJECTIVES. FIRST THE BILL WILL
ADD INTERIM TARGETS TO POLICY
FRAMEWORK ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHED
THE 100. UNDER SB 100, THE STATE
IS COMMITTED TO ACHIEVE A 60%
RENEWABLE ENERGY PORTFOLIO BY
2030 TO CREATE IN STATE JOBS AND
REQUIRE THAT 100% OF RETAIL
ELECTRICITY CELLS ARE SUPPLIED
BY ZERO CARBON RESOURCES BY
2045. SB 10 20 AD INTERIM
TARGETS TO REQUIRE RENEWABLE
ENERGY AND ZERO CARBON RESOURCES
TO SUPPLY 90% OF OUR RETAIL
ELECTRICITY CELLS BY 2035 95% OF
ALL RETAIL ELECTRICITY CELLS BY
2040. THESE INTERIM TARGETS ARE
CONSISTENT WITH INTEGRATED
RESOURCE PLANNING GOALS RECENTLY
ADOPTED BY THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
UTILITIES COMMISSION AND THE
RESULTS OF SP 100 MODELING
PERFORMED BY THE CPUC.
CALIFORNIA ENERGY COMMISSION AND
THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD. THIS
INCLUSION OF INTERIM TARGETS
WILL ENSURE THAT THE STATE MAKES
STEADY AND ACCOUNTABLE PROGRESS
TO FULL DECARBONIZATION OF
CALIFORNIA'S ELECTRICITY GRID.
SECOND. THE BILL WILL REQUIRE
ALL STATE AGENCIES TO RELY ON
100% RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ZERO
CARBON RESOURCES TO SERVE THEIR
OWN FACILITIES BY 2035. THIS
ACCELERATED TARGET WOULD PUT
STATE AGENCIES AT THE FOREFRONT
OF EFFORTS TO DE CARBONIZED THE
GREAT AND DEMONSTRATE LEADERSHIP
BY EXAMPLE. THIS PROPOSAL ALIGNS
WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN'S EXECUTIVE
ORDER REQUIRING FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES TO OBTAIN
100% CARBON FREE ELECTRICITY
SUPPLY NO LATER THAN 2030. AT A
MINIMUM. CALIFORNIA STATE
AGENCIES SHOULD MATCH ANY
COMMITMENTS MADE BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. AT LAST. THE BILL
WOULD ENCOURAGE BETTER
INFORMATION SHARING.
COORDINATION ON TRANSMISSION

U. C AND THE C C TO DISCLOSE
CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

SPEAK ON AN ADJOURNMENT MEMORY.
AND A SEVEN MEMBER WOULD YOU MAY
SPEAK FROM YOUR DESK ON YOUR
GERMAN AND MEMORY. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TO
ASK THAT WE ADJOURN THE MEMORY
OF DR NORMAN SKIP SPERBER. IS A
FORENSIC DENTIST, A COLLEAGUE, A
MENTOR AND A FRIEND. I WANT TO
THANK DR WEBBER FOR ALLOWING ME
TO SPEAK ABOUT TODAY ABOUT SKIP
, WHO WAS ONE OF YOUR
CONSTITUENTS. SKIP LEFT THIS
WORLD ON AUGUST 22ND AT THE AGE
OF 93. HE WAS ONE OF A
RELATIVELY SMALL GROUP OF
DENTISTS WHO DO FORENSIC
CONSULTING THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. SKIP OUT OF SAYING WHEN
YOU COME INTO THE WORLD, YOU'RE
GIVEN A NAME. WHEN YOU GO OUT,
IT'S IMPORTANT. YOU GO OUT WITH
A NAME. THAT'S THE GOAL OF
SOMEONE WHO DOES FORENSIC
DENTISTRY. I KNOW BECAUSE I DO
IT TOO. SKIP WAS BORN IN 1928 IN
NEW YORK CITY AND RAISED IN
MANHATTAN. THE SON OF A DENTIST.
HIS FATHER HAD OFFICES AND RADIO
CITY WITH MANY ENTERTAINERS AND
CELEBRITIES AS PATIENTS. SKIP
PRACTICE FOR MANY YEARS IN SAN
DIEGO AFTER LEAVING THE U. S
NAVY IN THE 19 FIFTIES, WHERE HE
SERVED AS A DENTAL OFFICER. IN
THE LATE 19 SIXTIES, HE
COMPLETED POSTGRADUATE TRAINING
AND FORENSIC OWED ONTOLOGY AND
WAS THE CHIEF FORENSIC DENTIST
FOR SAN DIEGO AND IMPERIAL
COUNTIES FOR DECADES. HE ALSO
SERVED AS A CHIEF FORENSIC
DENTIST FOR THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. HE
REMAINED A DENTIST BY DAY. AND A
FORENSIC DENTIST BY NIGHT FOR
DECADES UNTIL HE RETIRED IN
2007. SKIP WAS INVOLVED IN
HUNDREDS OF BODY IDENTIFICATION
CASES. HOMICIDE INVESTIGATIONS,
SEXUAL ASSAULT AND CHILD ABUSE
CASES. HE WAS INTERNATIONALLY
RECOGNIZED AS AN AUTHORITY ON
FORENSIC DENTISTRY, A REGULAR
LECTURE AT UNIVERSITIES OR LAW
ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL AND
FREQUENTLY AN EXPERT WITNESS FOR
BEFORE A JUDGE AND JURY SERVING
AS THE EXPERT WITNESS FOR THE
PROSECUTION AND HIGHLY
PUBLICIZED MURDER CASES,
INCLUDING TED BUNDY AND JEFFREY
DAHMER CASE. HIS FIRST HALF
PROFILE, HIGH PROFILE CASE WAS
HELPING IDENTIFY THE 144 VICTIMS
OF PSA FLIGHT 1 82 IN 1978, AND
ALSO SPENT TIME AT GROUND ZERO,
HELPING IDENTIFY VICTIMS OF NINE
OF THE 9 11 TERRORIST ATTACKS,
WHEREAS EXPERT ASSISTANCE HELPED
IDENTIFY THE VICTIMS. HE PLAYED
A MAJOR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF CALIFORNIA'S UNIQUE DENTAL
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM, CALLED
MOPS. THE MISSING AND IDENTIFIED
PERSONS UNIT CREATED BY ASSEMBLY
BILL 81 IN 1978. THROUGH THIS
SYSTEM, THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ASSIST LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES THROUGHOUT
THE STATE IN FINDING MISSING
PERSONS BY MANY MAINTAINING
STATEWIDE FILES CONTAINING THE
DENTAL RECORDS, PHOTOGRAPHS AND
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF
MISSING AND UNIDENTIFIED
PERSONS. SKIP ALWAYS REMINDED
PEOPLE THAT A PERSON'S IDENTITY
IS OF SOME CONSEQUENCE. MISSING
AND UNIDENTIFIED AND UNNAMED
PEOPLE NEED TO HAVE THEIR
IDENTITIES RESTORED. FAMILIES
NEED CLOSURE FOR BOTH EMOTIONAL
AND FINANCIAL REASONS. USING
ONLY WHAT SOMEONE WAS WEARING,
LAST LAST SEEN WEARING IS NOT
ENOUGH. FEW PEOPLE HAVE
FINGERPRINTS ON FILE, BUT MANY
HAVE DENTAL RECORDS, HUMAN TEETH
AND THEIR RELATED STRUCTURES ARE
UNIQUE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL, EVEN
FOR IDENTICAL TWINS, AND THEY
SURVIVE MANY PERILS, INCLUDING
SIGNIFICANT FIRE AND DEGRADATION
FROM DEHYDRATION AND A VARIETY
OF OTHER THINGS. YEAH. FORENSIC
DENTISTS PROVIDE CLOSURE. MAKING
THIS THE IDENTIFICATIONS AND A
SMALL BIT OF SOLACE FOR THE
FAMILIES. SOMETIMES IT CAN EVEN
HELP LEAD TO IDENTIFICATION OF
SUSPECTS AND ULTIMATELY,
CONVICTIONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE
COMMITTED CRIMES. ASKED WHY HE
PRODUCED, HE PURSUED FORENSIC
CODE ONTOLOGY, SKIP SAID. MAYBE
THIS IS CORNY, BUT IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ME TO BE OF SERVICE
TO MY PROFESSION AND MY
COMMUNITY. FORENSIC DENTIST
SPEAK IN STARK TERMS AT TIMES
WITHOUT PRINTING THINGS UP. SKIP
SAID THAT HIS WORK AND FORENSIC
DENTISTRY LIFTED HIM RIGHT OUT
OF THE SANITARY AND SANITIZED
VERSION OF THE LIFE MOST DENNIS
LIVE IN I KNOW I DID THAT. I'VE
DONE THAT. INSIDE DETECTIVE TRUE
CRIME DETECTIVE MAGAZINE MADE
HIM THE SUBJECT OF A GRITTY
STORY ENTITLED SAN DIEGO
SHERLOCK EXPERT DR NORMAN'S
BOOTS, SPERBER. THE WHOLE TOOTH
AND NOTHING BUT THE TOOTH. HE
WAS A FREQUENT AUTHOR OF
ARTICLES IN THE IN THE FBI LAW
ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN AND THE
JOURNAL OF FORENSIC SCIENCES.
TEETH DO TELL THE TRUTH. AND DR
SKIP SPERBER HELPED US TO FIND
IT. SKIP IS SURVIVED BY HIS SON.
HIS DAUGHTER, JILL. TWO
GRANDCHILDREN. JONAH AND OLIVIA
. HIS BROTHER, MICHAEL. I ASKED
