ANNOUNCEMENTS UH,
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CERVANTES AND
MATTHEWS ARE ABSENT TODAY. I
WILL SKIP THE CONSENT CALENDAR
BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE A
MOTION AND A SECOND AND WE DON'T
CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A FULL
COMMITTEE WERE OPERATING AS A
SUBCOMMITTEE. WHAT I WILL DO IS
AND I'LL JUMP FORWARD. SO ANY OF
THE AUTHORS WHO MIGHT BE PRESENT
TO BEGIN OTHER PRESENTATION,
EITHER, UH ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
RUBIO OR ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PATTERSON AT THEIR HERE? FOR
COMMITTEE. HAPPY TO HAVE.
AND WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE
MR PATTERSON HERE BIG ROUND OF
APPLAUSE. AND YOU MAY BEGIN,
SIR. SORRY TO CATCH YOU OFF
GUARD RIGHT WHEN YOU WALKED IN.
NO THAT'S GREAT. I'M GLAD I WAS
HERE, SO Y'ALL DIDN'T HAVE TO
KEEP WAITING, UH, WAITING FOR
OTHER AUTHORS WHO ARE RUNNING A
LITTLE LATER. YOU KNOW, UM, GOOD
AFTERNOON, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
. I'M HERE TODAY TODAY TO
PRESENT A B 16 68. THIS BILL
WOULD PROVIDE A LIMITED
EXCEPTION FOR PLASTER COUNTY TO
THE EXISTING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE
LICENSE LIMITS SET BY DEPARTMENT
OF ABC. IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW
THAT RECENTLY RECOGNIZED BY THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS PRO
HOUSING, PLASTIC COUNTY IS ONE
OF THE FASTEST GROWING REGIONS
IN THE STATE. IN ADDITION, WE
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT SMALLER
BUSINESSES AND ALLOW FOR GROWTH
AT THE RATE THAT THE POPULATION
CONTINUES TO GROW IN THE COUNTY,
WHICH IS WHY I'M OFFERING THIS.
THIS CAME UP RECENTLY. UM THERE
WAS ACTUALLY A SACRAMENTO
BUSINESS JOURNAL ARTICLE ABOUT
THE INABILITY FOR SMALL
BUSINESSES IN MY DISTRICT TO GET
LICENSES AS THE POPULATION HAS
GROWN SO FAST. AND SO THAT'S WHY
I WAS. THIS WAS ACTUALLY BEFORE
I WAS EVEN ELECTED. AND SO WHEN
I GOT ELECTED, I COMMITTED A
DOING THIS BILL. I THINK ON THE
PHONE. WE HAVE A SUPERVISOR,
BONNIE, OKAY. BONNIE GORE, BIG
SUPPORTER OF THE BILL, THOUGH,
AND JOEL JOYCE, LEGISLATIVE
COORDINATOR FOR PLASTER COUNTY
AND SUPPORTED THIS BILL, AND TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. MR PERSON
WOULD BE SO KIND TO ALLOW US
REALLY QUICKLY TO TAKE A ROLL
CALL. GREAT. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. MM. SECRETARY. ON THE
QUORUM. SANTIAGO YEAH. LUCKY.

MATHIS. MCCARTY. MCKENNA. HERE,
PATTERSON. QUIRK-SILVA HERE.
RAMOS. RIVAS. RUBIO. TÂM
VALLAPUDUA. CORN IS ESTABLISHED
. THANK YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS.
YOU MAY PROCEED. I BELIEVE
YOU'RE REFERENCING A WITNESS NOW
, RIGHT? THAT'S IT. TURN IT OVER
HERE. THANK YOU. CHAIR SANTIAGO
VICE SHERLOCK, EITHER REMAINING
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FOR
HEARING THIS BILL. I ALSO WANT
TO THANK ASSEMBLYMAN JOE
PATTERSON FOR AUTHORING THIS
BILL. I'M JOEL JOYCE WITH THE
COUNTY OF PLASTERED. WITHIN
PLASTER COUNTY IN RURAL AND
SUBURBAN CITIES AND COUNTIES
ACROSS THE STATE. SMALL
BUSINESSES ARE TYPICALLY THE
ECONOMIC LIFEBLOOD OF THESE
JURISDICTIONS AND WITHIN THOSE
SMALL BUSINESSES, THE SERVICE
SECTOR TYPICALLY MAKES UP THE
MOST JOBS WITH FOOD AND
RESTAURANT ESTABLISHES
ESTABLISHMENTS MAKING UP A LARGE
NUMBER WITHIN THAT SECTOR.
UNFORTUNATELY PLASTIC COUNTY HAS
BEEN OVER ALLOCATED ITS
ALLOTMENT OF THESE TYPE 47
ALCOHOL LICENSES. THIS HAS
CAUSED A SUPPLY AND DEMAND ISSUE
, AND THUS NEW LICENSES HAVE NOT
BEEN ISSUED IN THE YEARS AND
CURRENTLY ON THE OPEN MARKET.
SOME OF THESE LICENSES ARE
EXCEEDING $200,000, AND THIS
COST CAN ONLY BE AFFORDED BY
LARGE CONGLOMERATE TYPICALLY
CHAIN TYPE RESTAURANTS. THIS
BILL WILL ALLOW INDIVIDUALS AND
ENTREPRENEURS WHO WISH TO START
A FOOD ESTABLISHMENT TO BE ABLE
TO BE ABLE TO WITHOUT THE NEED
FOR AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF
CAPITAL. ADDITIONALLY
RESTAURANTS FAIL AT A HIGH RATE
NATIONALLY AND IN THIS STATE AND
THUS THE ABILITY FOR INDIVIDUALS
NOT TO INCUR HIGH AMOUNT OF DEBT
OR TO RAISE AS HIGH AMOUNT OF
CAPITAL WILL ALLOW THESE
RESTAURANT AND FOOD
ESTABLISHMENTS TO SUCCEED AT A
HIGHER RATE. THERE IS A LIMIT
WITHIN THIS BILL AT NO MORE THAN
FOUR ISSUED LICENSES PER YEAR
AND NO MORE THAN 10 TOTAL. AS
MANY MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE
NO. OPERATING IN SUCCEEDING WITH
A SMALL BUSINESS IS VERY
DIFFICULT. AND WITH THAT I WOULD
ACTUALLY VOTE TO PASS VOTE FOR
YES TO PASS THIS LEGISLATION
HAPPEN TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
YOU MAY HAVE. THANK YOU, MR
PATTERSON. YOUR SECOND WITNESS.
