I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN THE
MEANING OF PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE. WE HAVE ONE BILL ONE
AUTHOR. YOU. CALL THE ROLL.
REQUIRE MIA. WAS SHORT ONE. SO
WE'LL BEGIN AT THE SUBCOMMITTEE
WHENEVER YOU'RE READY, MR KALRA
. THANK YOU, MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS, MAYBE 2 56 RACIAL
JUSTICE ACT FOR ALL IS BACK FOR
AMENDMENTS TAKEN IN THE SENATE
AS AT THE REQUEST OF JUDICIAL
COUNCIL AND STAKEHOLDERS. THESE
INCLUDE A REVISED PHASE IN FOR
RETROACTIVITY LIMITS ON
REVERSALS AND POST JUDGMENT
REMEDIES FOR RETROACTIVE CASES
BASED ON RACIAL BIAS DIRECTED AT
THE ACCUSED OR USE OF RACIALLY
DISCRIMINATORY LANGUAGE DURING
OPEN COURT. REQUIRES TIMELY
EMOTIONS. UPDATES TERMINOLOGY ON
REMOTE APPEARANCE, CLARIFIES THE
STANDARD FOR EVALUATION OF
DISPARITY, CLAIMS AND OTHER
CLARIFYING AMENDMENTS TO THE
ACT. BUT THESE AMENDMENTS
JUDICIAL COUNCIL IS OFFICIALLY
NEUTRAL AND THE A AND ENJOYS A
REDUCED FISCAL TO IMPLEMENT THE
BILL AS WELL. THOSE WITH PRIOR
RACIALLY BIASED CONVICTIONS AND
SENTENCES DESERVE EQUAL JUSTICE
UNDER THE LAW, AND THIS IS A
COMMENT THAT'S RECOGNITION OF
HOW UNREASONABLY DIFFICULT IT
HAS BEEN FOR CRIMINAL DEFENDANTS
TO PROVE RACIAL BIAS WAS A
FACTOR IN THEIR CASE WITH ME IS
ALEJANDRA DID RUN ON BEHALF OF
NEXT GEN AND NATASHA MINSK OVER
SMART JUSTICE CALIFORNIA FOR ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS, THANK YOU.
AND WE MADE AGAIN. FIVE MINUTES
TOTAL. THANK YOU. ALEJANDRA
DURAND WITH VITAMIN GROUP
REPRESENTING NEXT IN CALIFORNIA,
ONE OF THE CO SPONSORS OF THIS
BILL. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
PERMEATES CALIFORNIA'S LEGAL
SYSTEM, BUT IN PASSING THE
CALIFORNIA RACIAL JUSTICE ACT OF
20 21ST OF HIS KIND LINE
CALIFORNIA, THE LEGISLATURE
EMPOWERED DEFENDANTS TO OBJECT
TO CONVICTIONS OR SENTENCES IF
THEY COULD HOW THAT ANYONE
INVOLVED IN THEIR CASE A JUDGE
ATTORNEY OFFICER, EXPERT
WINNERS, WITNESS OR JUROR.
DEMONSTRATED RACIAL BIOS DURING
THE PROCESS, OR THEY COULD SHOW
EVIDENCE OF DISPARITIES AND
CONVICTIONS OR SENTENCES FOR THE
SAME CRIME. BUT WE CAN ALL AGREE
THAT RACISM HAS NO PLACE IN OUR
COURT SYSTEM AND BELIEVE THAT
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY
RACISM IN THEIR CASES SHOULD
HAVE HAD SHOULD HAVE A PATH TO
JUSTICE. THEN THEY SHOULD
INCLUDE EVERYONE. THE RACIAL
JUSTICE ACT OF 2020 WAS
PERSPECTIVE ONLY. BUT BLACK AND
BROWN PEOPLE LANGUISHING IN
JAILS AND PRISON. RIGHT NOW
BECAUSE OF PAST RACIST
CONVICTIONS, AND SENTENCING ALSO
DESERVE RELIEF. NEXT IN
CALIFORNIA PRIORITIZES POLICIES
AND PRACTICES THAT ADDRESS
INEQUITIES AND DISPARITIES IN
OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM
IS NEVER HARMLESS AND A B 2 56
TAKES ANOTHER CRUCIAL STEP
TOWARDS ROOTING IT OUT. AND
ADDRESSING PAST HARMS. FOR THESE
REASONS. WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. NATASHA MINSTER WAS SMART
