BIAS REMEMBER ADDIS RELATIVE TO
WOMEN'S EQUAL PAYDAY ISSUE MAY
OPEN THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES. MEMBERS ON BEHALF OF
THE WOMEN'S CARCASS. I AM PROUD
TO PRESENT A CR 42 RECOGNIZING
APRIL 2ND AS WOMEN'S EQUAL PAY
DAY. A DAY THAT SYMBOLIZES HOW
FAR INTO THE YEAR WOMEN MUST
WORK TO EARN WHAT MEN EARNED IN
THE PREVIOUS YEAR. OF NOTE IS
THAT THE ACTUAL DATE FOR 2023?
IT WAS MARCH 14TH. THAT'S 73
DAYS MORE FOR WOMEN TO EARN WHAT
THEIR MALE COLLEAGUES EARNED FOR
THE SAME WORK. FOR TOO LONG
WOMEN, ESPECIALLY BY PARK AND L
G B T. Q I A PLUS WOMEN HAVE
BEEN UNDERPAID AND UNDERVALUED
IN THE WORKPLACE. IT IS TIME
THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGED INVALUABLE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF ALL
CALIFORNIANS THROUGH FINANCIAL
PARODY. AND IT'S ER 42 AS ARE
ONGOING AND A CR 42 IS OUR
RESPONSE TO THE ONGOING LEGACY.
OF WOMEN EXPERIENCING THE BURDEN
OF LOWER SOUR SALARIES. A BURDEN
THAT CUTS INTO RESOURCES FOR
DAILY LIFE EXPENSES FOR HEALTH
CARE FOR CHILD CARE. FOR
RETIREMENT AND FOR SO MUCH MORE.
THE DATA AROUND THE WAGE GAP IS
ASTOUNDING. WELL THE GAP IS
CLOSING GROWTH HAS TAKEN DECADES
AND WE ARE NOWHERE NEAR PARODY.
IMAGINE THAT IN 1962 THE YEAR
THAT EQUAL PAY ACT WAS SIGNED,
WOMEN MADE JUST 59 CENTS TO THE
MEN'S DOLLAR. AND IN 2012, IT
WAS JUST 77 CENTS TO THE MEN'S
DOLLAR. NOW IN 2023. ON AVERAGE
WOMEN JUST EARN THEY STILL EARN
JUST 82 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR
THAT MEN ARE PAID FOR
COMMENSURATE WORK. AND SO OVER
THE PAST 60 YEARS. IT'S JUST A
PALTRY 23 CENT INCREASE. AND THE
GAP IS EVEN LARGER FOR BLACK
LATINA, NATIVE AMERICAN AND L G
B T Q. TO WOMEN. IN CALIFORNIA
EARNING STATE A CONTINUES TO
SHOW THAT MEN EARNED $20,000
MORE A YEAR. FOR THE SAME JOBS.
AND ADDED TO THE WAGE GAP, WOMEN
CONTINUE TO BE UNDERREPRESENTED
IN HIGH PAYING FIELDS SUCH AS
SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING
, MATHEMATICS, BUSINESS AND
MANAGERIAL POSITIONS, AND WOMEN
TEND TO BE OVERREPRESENTED IN
LOWER PAYING FIELDS. SUCH AS
TEACHING AND CHILDCARE. SO THIS
HAS GRAVE IMPACTS ON WOMEN,
CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND OUR
ENTIRE SOCIETY BECAUSE UP TO 66%
OF MOTHERS ARE THE BREADWINNERS
FOR THEIR HOUSEHOLDS. IT'S FAR
PAST TIME TO PUT OUR MONEY WHERE
OUR VALUES ARE. EQUAL PAY
STRENGTHENS THE SECURITY OF
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES AND
ADDS TO A THRIVING ECONOMY AND
SOCIAL FABRIC. AND SO IF WE
TRULY BELIEVE THAT GENDER EQUITY
IS IMPORTANT, WE MUST START AT
THE VERY MINIMUM BY PAYING WOMEN
, ESPECIALLY BY PARK AND L G B T
Q. I A PLUS WOMEN. WHAT THEY
DESERVE. AND SO WITH THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MEMBERS OF
OTHER CAUCUSES TO SPEAK. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MISS ADAMS AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN FRIEDMAN. YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TODAY
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS AND
SUPPORT OF A CR 42 TO RECOGNIZE
AND PROCLAIM EQUAL PAYDAY IN
CALIFORNIA ABOUT A MONTH AND A
HALF AGO, SOME OF US CELEBRATED
PI DAY. NOW I THINK THAT PI DAY
IS ABOUT THE NUMERIC NUMBER
REPRESENTED BY THE PI SYMBOL,
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ALSO TALKED
ABOUT THEIR FAVORITE PIES, MINUS
CHERRY. UM BUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
THE KIND OF PIE THAT I TALKED
ABOUT WAS THE PIE CHART
REPRESENTING THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WHAT WOMEN ARE PAID AND
MEN ARE PAID AND THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WHAT WHITE WOMEN ARE
PAID AND BY PARK WOMEN ARE PAID.
THAT WAS THE KIND OF PIE THAT I
WAS INTERESTED IN TALKING ABOUT
ON PI DAY. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
UNTIL WE ARE PAID THE SAME
AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION. FOR
EQUAL WORK. WE DO NOT HAVE
EQUALITY. AND WE CERTAINLY DON'T
HAVE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THIS
COUNTRY. APRIL 2ND MARKED AN
IMPORTANT SYMBOLIC MOMENT. AND
THAT MOMENT IS ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES THAT WE CONTINUE TO
FACE AS POLICYMAKERS. THIS IS A
STAIN ON THE PROGRESSIVE VALUES
THAT WE SHARE AND ON
CALIFORNIA'S VALUES OF EQUALITY.
NOW IN THIS BODY'S HISTORY, WE
HAVE PUT WOMEN AT THE HEAD OF
THE TABLE ACROSS THE HIGHEST
LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. AND SO,
TOO, IS JEWS. WE'VE BROUGHT
WOMEN INTO THE FOLD AND
PIONEERED THE JUSTICE MOVEMENTS
BY THE LEADERSHIP OF WOMEN.
JEWISH WOMEN HAVE BEEN IN THE
GREATEST SPACES OF JUSTICE FROM
FORMER SUPREME COURT JUSTICE
RUTH BADER GINSBURG TO THE
RUSSIAN IMMIGRANT GOLD IN MY EAR
, WHO HAS A CHILD ORGANIZED THE
AMERICAN YOUNG SISTERS SOCIETY
TO HELP PAY FOR HER CLASSMATES
TEXTBOOKS AND LATER WENT ON TO
BECOME, OF COURSE, THE FIRST
FEMALE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL.
BUT WE CLEARLY HAVE A LONG WAY
TO GO AND OFFER REPEATED JEWISH
LESSON GOES AESTHETIC. TED
SELECTED ZERO OFF JUSTICE
JUSTICE YOU SHALL PURSUE. THE
JEWISH CAUCUS ALONG WITH THE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS, AND I KNOW MANY
OF OUR OTHER CAUCUSES WILL
CONTINUE TO PRODUCE TO PURSUE
JUSTICE AND EQUALITY FOR THOSE
ACROSS ALL WALKS OF LIFE. THIS
IS NOT JUST A WOMEN'S ISSUE.
IT'S A JEWISH ISSUE. IT'S AN
ISSUE FOR ALL OF OUR
ETHNICITIES. IT'S AN ISSUE FOR
ALL OF US AS KALI FOR
CALIFORNIANS WHO CARE ABOUT
EQUALITY AND OPPORTUNITY FOR
EVERYONE I URGE AND I VOTE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
FRIEDMAN AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN
WEBER. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE BLACK CAUCUS AND
SUPPORT OF A CR 42. WOMEN
EMPLOYED FULL TIME YEAR ROUND IN
THE UNITED STATES ARE PAID JUST
82 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR PAID
TO MEN. THIS AMOUNTS TO YEARLY
INCOME GAP OF $10,470. AFRICAN
AMERICAN WOMEN EARN THE SAME
SALARY AS WHITE, NON HISPANIC
MEN. THEY COULD EARN ENOUGH
MONEY FOR 2.5 MORE YEARS OF
CHILDCARE. THREE YEARS OF FOOD
FOR HER FAMILY OR 22 MORE MONTHS
OF RENT. MORE THAN 80% OF
AFRICAN AMERICAN MOTHERS
BRINGING 40% OR MORE OF THEIR
FAMILY'S INCOME, WHICH MEANS
THAT THEIR HOUSEHOLD RELIES
HEAVILY ON THEIR WAGES. I'M GLAD
THAT THE STATE IS SIMPLY AS
RECOGNIZING EQUAL PAYDAY, BUT WE
HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO TO
ENSURE EQUALITY WAGES HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN
WOMEN. IT WILL TAKE UNTIL JULY
27TH OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR TO
ENSURE THEIR PAY EQUALS THAT OF
A WHITE MAN. I HOPE THIS EQUAL
PAY DAY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO TAKE
TO HEART AND PAST POLICIES THAT
VALUE THE WORK OF WOMEN,
ESPECIALLY WOMEN OF COLOR, AND
FOR THESE REASONS, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE
ON A CR 42. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, DR WEBBER AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN
CERVANTES. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS
TODAY I RISE AS CHAIR OF THE
LATINO LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS, AND I
ALSO RISE ON BEHALF OF THE LGBT
HUGH CAUCUS AND SUPPORTIVE
ASSEMBLY. CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
. 42 WANT TO THANK OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM MORRO BAY FOR INTRODUCING
AN AUTHORING THIS IMPORTANT
RESOLUTION. THIS SAID COLLEAGUES
. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT IN 2023
WE HAVE TO BE HERE TODAY TO
COMMEMORATE WOMEN'S EQUAL PAY
DAY. AS YOU KNOW THIS DAY
COMMEMORATES HOW MUCH FURTHER IN
THE YEAR THAT WOMEN HAVE TO WORK
IN ORDER TO MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT
AS THEIR MALE COUNTERPARTS. THE
GENDER WAGE GAP IS PER A
PERVASIVE PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY
, AND IT IS PARTICULARLY GLARING
FOR WOMEN OF COLOR, WHO CONTINUE
TO BE UNDER SERVED UNDERPAID.
AND UNDERVALUED. THIS DISPARITY
HAS ONLY INCREASED DURING THE
PANDEMIC, ESPECIALLY GIVEN OUR
COMMUNITIES LACK OF AFFORDABLE
CHILDCARE. OVERALL WOMEN IN THE
UNITED STATES GAINED 82 CENTS
FOR EVERY DOLLAR. A MALE MIX.
FOR LATINAS. THAT AMOUNT IS EVEN
LOWER, ACCORDING TO NPR. LATINAS
IN THE UNITED STATES MAKE ONLY
60 CENTS OF WHAT MEN MAKE IN
THIS COUNTRY. I'M HERE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAY
DISPARITY PROBLEM WE FACE IS NOT
JUST AN ISSUE OF SEXISM. IT IS
ALSO INHERENTLY A MANIFESTATION
OF SYSTEMIC RACISM. ALL WOMEN
ARE PAID LESS THAN MEN. WOMEN OF
COLOR MAKE LESS EVEN LESS. LGBTQ
IDENTIFYING INDIVIDUALS, BEAR
AND EVEN GREATER ECONOMIC
BURDEN. ACCORDING TO THE
WILLIAMS INSTITUTE, WOMEN IN
SAME SEX COUPLES. HAVE A MEDIUM
PERSONAL INCOME OF 38,000.
COMPARED TO 47,000 FOR ME, MEN
AND SAME SEX COUPLES.
TRANSGENDER INDIVIDUALS AND NON
BINARY INDIVIDUALS EARN EVEN
LESS. BUT THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS
THAT PAID DISPARITY HURTS NOT
ONLY INDIVIDUAL WOMEN LATINAS
ARE LGBT Q COMMUNITY BUT OUR
ENTIRE ECONOMY. COLLEAGUES WHILE
I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT THAT
WE COMMEMORATE THIS DAY, IT IS
MY SINCERE HOPE THAT THE DAY
SOON ARRIVES WHEN THE WAGE GAP
IS CLOSED, AND WE NO LONGER HAVE
TO CALL FOR EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL
WORK. FOR THESE REASONS I ASKED
FOR I VOTE ON A CR 42. THANK
YOU, MR MONTI'S AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN WALDRON RECOGNIZED
. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. STUDIES SHOW THAT PAY
INEQUITY AFFECTS WOMEN ACROSS
ALL INDUSTRIES AND AT ALL LEVELS
OF EDUCATION. ELIMINATING THE
GENDER PAY GAP IS NOT ONLY A
MATTER OF FAIRNESS BUT ALSO A
MATTER OF ECONOMIC GROWTH. WHEN
WOMEN ARE PAID FAIRLY, THEY CAN
INVEST MORE IN THEIR FAMILIES
AND COMMUNITIES, DRIVING
ECONOMIC GROWTH AND CREATING A
MORE PROSPEROUS AND THRIVING
SOCIETY. WOMEN'S EQUAL PAY DAY
IS A REMINDER FOR ALL OF US. TO
WORK TOGETHER TO ELIMINATE
GENDER AND RACIAL DISPARITIES IN
PAY. AND TO CREATE A FAIR AND
EQUITABLE SOCIETY FOR ALL. AS
CALIFORNIA TAKES STEPS IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION, INCLUDING EQUAL
PAY ACT. WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO
STRIVE TO ELIMINATE THE GENDER
GAP IN EARNINGS BY WOMEN AND TO
PROMOTE POLICIES TO ENSURE EQUAL
PAY FOR ALL. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MISS WALDRON. AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S VÆ VALLAPUDUA,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AS CHAIR OF ASSEMBLY JOB
COMMITTEE AND PROUD FATHER OF
WONDERFUL DOLLARS I RATE I RISE
IN SUPPORT A C R 42 WOMEN'S
EQUALITY PAY DAY IN CALIFORNIA.
FAR TOO LONG, HALF THE STATE
WORKFORCE HAS BEEN GETTING PAID
LESS THAN THEIR MALE
COUNTERPARTS, LOSING OVER $33
BILLION EACH YEAR. THE GENDER
WAGE GAP IN CALIFORNIA
CONTRIBUTES TO ITS HIGH RATE OF
POVERTY AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTS
WOMAN IN NEARLY EVERY FIELD, NO
MATTER THEIR INCOME OR EDUCATION
STATUS. THE GAP IS EVEN GREATER
FOR WOMEN OF COLOR, AND IT TAKES
AN AT AN ESTIMATE ADDITIONAL SIX
MONTHS OF WORK FORCE TO
COMPENSATE THAT CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE THE
FOREFRONT FOR WRITING THIS
INEQUALITY TO ENSURE THAT EQUAL
PAY. FOR EQUAL WORK CONTINUES TO
BE THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE FOR
OUR ECONOMY. AND I ASKED YOU AS
AN I VOTE TODAY. THANK YOU, MR
VIA PUT JUAN AND SEEING NO OTHER
MEMBERS. DR. BAINES, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THERE WE GO. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. TODAY I'M PROUD
TO RISE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA ASIAN AMERICAN
PACIFIC ISLANDER LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS TO SUPPORT A CR 42 AS WE
CONTINUE TO FIGHT FOR EQUAL PAY
FOR ALL WOMEN. I WANT TO TAKE
THE TIME TO REFLECT ON
UNDERREPRESENTED PARTS OF THIS
CAUCUS, THE NATIONAL ASIAN
PACIFIC AMERICAN WOMEN'S FORUM
PRESENTS STAGGERING DATA. A
NATIVE HAWAIIAN WOMAN MAKES 57
CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR. A WHITE
MAN MAKES A BANGLADESHI WOMAN
MAKES 50 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR
. A WHITE MAN MAKES A NEPALESE
WOMAN MAKES 44 CENTS FOR EVERY
DOLLAR. A WHITE MAN MAKES THIS
LIST GOES ON, BUT MY POINT IS
VERY CLEAR. THIS AGGREGATION OF
DATA IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL AS
WE WORK TO ADDRESS THE WAGE GAP
AS WE CELEBRATE THE WORK WE'VE
DONE AND REFLECT ON THE WORK
AHEAD. I CALL UPON THIS BODY TO
RAISE AWARENESS OF PROFOUND
IMPACTED THE WAGE GAP HAS ON
THESE WOMEN AND HOW THEIR
STORIES ARE OFTEN LEFT INVISIBLE

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WENDY CARRILLO
, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I'M
PROUD TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL
665, WHICH WOULD EXPAND ACCESS
TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE UNDER MEDICAL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY'S OUR COMMUNITIES ARE
FACING A YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS AND THE NUMBERS ARE
SHOCKING FROM MASS SHOOTINGS AND
PUBLIC SPACES AND IN PARTICULAR
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS, AS WELL AS
FENTANYL OVERDOSES AND SOCIAL
MEDIA BULLYING, YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
EXPERIENCING A NEW REALITY
DIFFERENT THAN WE HAD GROWING UP
A NEW REPORT FROM THE CENTER
FROM DECEASED CONTROL AND
PREVENTION STATES AT TWO AND
FIVE TEENAGERS FELT PERSISTENT
SADNESS OR LONELINESS AMONG
TEENAGE GIRLS. IT'S THREE AND
FIVE. THAT'S 60. 13 YEARS AGO,
THERE WAS A BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT
THAT NEEDED THAT WE NEEDED TO
EMPOWER YOUNG PEOPLE TO ADDRESS
THEIR MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS AS
EARLY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
THIS BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT HAD NO
OPPOSITION AND WAS SIGNED BY
GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER. BUT
YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE MEDICAL
RECIPIENTS WERE LEFT OUT DUE TO
A RECESSION. TODAY ONLY 20% OF
YOUNG PEOPLE RECEIVING MEDICAL
GET SCREENED FOR DEPRESSION. BUT
WE KNOW THE NEED AS MUCH HIGHER.
WE ALL DESERVE A LIFE FULL OF
PRIDE AND DIGNITY. AND YOUNG
PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY, WE ARE NOW
MAKING IT OKAY TO DEMYSTIFY IN
THE STIGMATIZE THE NEED FOR
MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS. IT STARTS
WITHOUT OURSELVES, OUR PARENTS
AND OUR FAMILIES TO ACKNOWLEDGE
THE TRAUMA THAT FAMILIES HAVE
LIVED THROUGH AND CONTINUE TO
LIVE THROUGH AND RECOGNIZE THERE
IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
SURVIVING AND LIVING, ESPECIALLY
FOR YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST AND I VOTE ON A B 665.
THANK YOU, MR CARILLO AND LEADER
GALLAGHER. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS LEGISLATION, AND I KNOW
THAT THE INTENT OF MY COLLEAGUE
HERE IS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO
MENTAL HEALTH FOR OUR YOUTH, AND
THAT'S CERTAINLY A GOAL THAT I
SUPPORT. BUT THIS POLICY AND
THIS BILL DOES SO AT THE EXPENSE
OF PARENTS. AND I THINK THAT'S
WRONG. UM THERE IS CURRENTLY IN
LAW REQUIREMENT. PARENTAL
CONSENT. FOR 12 FOR CHILDREN, 12
AND OLDER. UM AND. BUT IT HAS IN
THE LAW RIGHT NOW. EXISTING LAW
NICK AN EXCEPTION IF THERE'S AN
EMERGENCY. WITH THE CHILD OR IF
THERE'S EVIDENCE OF ABUSE. I
THINK THAT'S A GOOD POLICY. THIS
COMPLETELY REMOVES THAT. AND
SAYS THERE WILL BE NO PARENTAL
CONSENT. FOR A CHILD 12 YEARS OR
OLDER TO GET MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT. I THINK PARENTS ARE A
CRITICAL FUNDAMENTAL PART. OF
HELPING ENSURE OUR USE MENTAL
HEALTH. IF MY CHILD IS AT SCHOOL
IF MY CHILD IS DEALING WITH THE
MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS, I WANT TO
KNOW ABOUT IT. AND THIS
MISGUIDED AND I THINK WRONGFUL
TREND IN OUR POLICY NOW THAT HAS
CONTINUED TO EXCLUDE PARENTS
FROM THAT EQUATION AND SAY THEY
DON'T NEED TO BE INFORMED. THAT
OTHER PEOPLE CAN MAKE THE
DECISION. FOR THEM. WHEN IT
COMES TO THEIR KID IS WRONG, AND
WE SHOULD STOP THIS NOW. IF WE
WANT TO TALK ABOUT WAYS TO
EXPAND ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH,
LET'S DO THAT. IF WE WANT TO
TALK ABOUT DIFFERENT FUNDING AND
APPROACHES TO DO THAT. LET'S DO
THAT. LET'S COME TOGETHER BUT
REPEALING THIS REQUIREMENT,
WHICH IS GOOD POLICY. IS NOT THE
WAY TO DO THAT. SO I ENCOURAGE
YOU TO VOTE. NO, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR GALLAGHER AND SUB
MEMBER JOE PATTERSON. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS FIRST. I WANT TO
COMMEND THE AUTHOR FOR WORKING
ON SOMETHING NEAR AND DEAR TO MY
HEART AND THAT'S MENTAL HEALTH
OF OUR KIDS. BUT I WAS RISE
RESPECTFULLY TO OPPOSE THIS
MEASURE, AS WE KNOW, WITH COVID
AND THINGS LIKE THAT KIDS ARE
GOING THROUGH IN A SPECIALLY
TOUGH TIME RIGHT NOW. AND I WILL
GIVE YOU THERE ARE PLENTY OF
PARENTS IN SOCIETY AND OR
GUARDIANS THAT, UH, THAT ARE NOT
GREAT AND CAN USE SOME HELP. UM
BUT AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, I HAVE
FOUR KIDS AND YOU'VE HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF HEARING THEM SCREAM
OCCASIONALLY WHEN THEY WERE
HERE, INCLUDING ON SWEARING IN.
AH, UM AND AT TIMES THEY DO GO
THROUGH DIFFICULT. DIFFICULT
PERIODS. AND WHEN THEY DO, I
THINK THAT I PLAY CRITICAL ROLE
IN MY WIFE TO A AND HELPING THEM
GET THROUGH THAT. AND I COULDN'T
IMAGINE ONE OF MY CHILDREN WHEN
THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A
DIFFICULT TIME GOING TO
RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION OR CONSENT
. I BELIEVE THAT MOST PARENTS
ARE. IMPORTANT TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THEIR CHILDREN IN
A SPECIALLY AGAINST GETTING
THROUGH MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. SO
WHILE I APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
WORKING ON THIS MEASURE, AND I
THINK IT'S SO IMPORTANT, AND I
HOPE WE HAVE MORE FOCUS ON
MENTAL HEALTH FOR CHILDREN, I
MUST ASK FOR A NO VOTE ON THIS
MEASURE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MR PATTERSON AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN
BONTA. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF A B 6
65 IN NO WAY DOES THIS
LEGISLATION ELIMINATE THE
PARENTS' ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO
KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR
CHILD NEEDS? IT ACTUALLY JUST
CREATES AN EQUITY INEQUITABLE
SITUATION WHERE OUR CHILDREN WHO
ARE MEDICALLY ELIGIBLE HAVE THE
SAME ABILITY TO ACCESS MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES. AS THOSE WHO
DON'T WHAT PARENTS? I HAVE THREE
WOULDN'T WANT THEIR CHILD TO BE
ABLE TO ACCESS MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES WITH THAT. I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU, MISS PONTA AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JACKSON. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. BUT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, MR SPEAKER. YOU KNOW, AS A
SOCIAL WORKER. I CAN'T TELL YOU
HOW IMPORTANT THIS BILL IS. I
CAN'T TELL YOU HOW IMPORTANT AND
HOW COMPLICATED THE FAMILIES OF
THIS STATE ARE MANY OF US COME
FROM COMMUNITIES. IN WHICH HAS A
LARGE STIGMA WHEN IT COMES TO
MENTAL HEALTH. AND WHEN IT'S A
PROFESSIONAL DEEMS THAT IT WOULD
BE NECESSARY AND CERTAINLY IF A
YOUNG PERSON KNOWS THAT THEY
NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THAN
WHAT THEIR FAMILY CAN GIVE THEM.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT THEY GET THE
HOPE THAT THEY NEED. WE CAN ALSO
NOT FORGET. ABOUT VARIOUS
COMMITTEES, VARIOUS FAMILIES
WITHIN OUR STATE AND THROUGHOUT
THIS NATION. WHO IN MANY CASES
ARE NOT LIVING. AND VERY SAFE
ENVIRONMENTS. AND IN MANY CASES
. THIS MEANT THESE MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES. ORIGINATE. FROM. THE
FAMILY SAYS SITUATIONS. SO THIS
IS NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT WE
CAN CONTINUE WITH THIS TALKING
POINTS AND THIS NARRATIVE ABOUT
PARENTS' RIGHTS. LET'S JUST TALK
ABOUT SAVING LIVES. BECAUSE THIS
IS WHAT THIS BILL IS INTENDED TO
DO. TO SAVE LIVES. THE
DEFINITION IN MY CASE OF
HUMANITY AND OF BEING HUMAN
MEANS, JUST MESSY. THERE'S A LOT
OF MESSY SITUATIONS THAT DO NOT
FIT AND A COOKIE CUTTER
APPROACH. IN WHICH WE CHEAP
TRYING TO PUT PEOPLE IN. WE NEED
AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES TO ACCESS
MENTAL HEALTH. NOT LIMIT THEM.
BECAUSE WITHOUT THIS BILL,
THAT'S WHAT CAN HAPPEN. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, DR JACKSON. AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN RUBIO, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. MR
SPEAKER. I WAS CONSIDERING NOT,
UH, STANDING IN SPEAKING. BUT I
WANT TO JUST CLARIFY THAT THIS
IS ALREADY HAPPENING WITH
PRIVATE INSURANCE. THIS IS ONLY
AN EQUITY ISSUE THIS IS FOR
MEDICAL, UM AS A MOTHER OF A 16
AND 14 YEAR OLD AND A FORMER
TEACHER. WELL AS A TEACHER, I
CAN TELL YOU THAT I AM AS A
PARENT. I'M NOT EQUIPPED UM, AS
A TEACHER, I AM NOT EQUIPPED TO
GIVE MENTAL HEALTH OR TO PROVIDE
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR MY
CHILDREN, EVEN THOUGH I AM A
TRAINED TEACHER, UM, I
UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW THE
RELUCTANCE OF THE CHILDREN
MAKING THEIR OWN DECISIONS, BUT
I AS A MOTHER HAVE RAISED MY
CHILDREN. I THINK I'M RAISING
THEM TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS
AND THEY'RE HAVING A CRISIS. I
TRUST THEM TO BE ABLE TO GO TO
TALK TO SOMEBODY, UH, AGAIN.
MOST CHILDREN DON'T TALK TO
THEIR PARENTS. SO IF THERE'S
SOMEBODY THAT THEY CAN TALK TO,
I PREFER THAT RATHER THAN NOT
HAVING ANY SERVICES AT ALL. AND
SO AGAIN, THIS IS ALREADY
HAPPENING WITH PRIVATE INSURANCE
. THIS IS ONLY FOR MEDICAL. AND
SO THERE IS INEQUITY ISSUE
BECAUSE IF I HAVE INSURANCE FOR
MY CHILDREN, MY CHILDREN CAN
ACCESS IT. UH FOLKS THAT DON'T
HAVE ARE THE KIDS THAT DON'T
HAVE PRIVATE INSURANCE ARE NOT
ABLE TO ACCESS THESE SERVICES,
SO I RESPECTFULLY ACKNOWLEDGE
THE CONCERNS FROM OUR COLLEAGUES
, HOWEVER, AGAIN AS A MOTHER AND
A TEACHER, MOST OF US ARE NOT
EQUIPPED TO PROVIDE MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES FOR OUR
CHILDREN, SO THEY HAVE SOMEWHERE
TO GO BY ALL MEANS THEY NEED TO
SEEK THOSE SERVICES, SO I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR RUBIO. AND AS
SOMEONE WHO NEVER MATHIS YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS. LET'S TALK
REALITY. I THINK SOME OF OUR
COLLEAGUES ARE RIGHT. THERE ARE
CHILDREN THAT FRANKLY GREW UP IN
SOME PRETTY UP. SITUATIONS. THEY
DON'T HAVE PARENTS THAT DON'T
HAVE LOVING CARING PARENTS, LIKE
ALL OF US. TRY TO BE TO OUR OWN
CHILDREN. THAT'S A REALITY. BUT
THERE'S ALREADY SYSTEMS IN PLACE
THAT ADDRESSED THAT REALITY.
THEY ALREADY HAVE ACCESS. IN
THAT REALITY. WHAT THIS BILL
DOES. THEY SAY HEY, WE'RE NOT
GOING TO NOTIFY THE PARENTS, THE
GUARDIAN. WHOEVER THAT THIS IS
HAPPENING WITH THIS CHILD. THEY
HAVE ACCESS. AND THEIR SYSTEMS
AS MENTIONED EARLIER. THAT ARE.
THERE WERE IF THERE'S AN
EMERGENCY. OR IF IT'S A BAD
RELATIONSHIP. WHERE THERE'S
ABUSE OR SOMETHING ELSE GOING
ON. THAT THEY CAN MAKE SURE
ACCESS IS GRANTED. JUST THINK
FOR A MINUTE. WHAT THAT WOULD DO
TO YOU. AS A PARENT. ONE OF YOUR
FRIENDS. SOMEBODY, YOU KNOW. TO
FIND OUT THAT THEIR KID WAS
GOING AND DOING SOMETHING. AND
THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO HELP.
THAT'S MY CONCERN WITH THIS.
BECAUSE THE PARENTS DO HAVE A
RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
WITH THEIR CHILDREN. DOESN'T
MEAN WE'RE ALL PERFECT PARENTS.
WE KNOW THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THE
PARENTS DESERVE TO KNOW. AND
BECAUSE OF THAT, I HAVE TO ASK
FOR A NO VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR MATHIS AND SOME MEMBER
GIBSON. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I WAS NOT PREPARED TO
SPEAK, BUT I JUST WANT TO
ADDRESS A FEW THINGS FROM MY
COLLEAGUE FROM PUERTO VILLE THAT
WHAT IF THE PARENTS IS THE
ISSUE. WHAT IF THE PARENTS IS
THERE'S ONE WHO'S CAUSING THE
TRAUMA. THAT THE CHILD NEED TO
SEEK THE KIND OF SERVICES. AND
THE KIND OF RIGHTS THAT THIS
BILL PROVIDES. WHAT IF THAT IS,
IN FACT IS THE CASE. THERE ARE
SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE THAT SUFFER
IN SILENCE. AND THEY NEED OUR
VOICES THAT I WANT TO THANK THE
WOMAN FROM LOS ANGELES FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE
STRIKES AT THE CORE WHAT WE DID
20 AND 30 YEARS AGO MAY HAVE
WORKED 20 AND 30 YEARS AGO. BUT
THAT'S NOT TODAY'S REALITY. AND
I DON'T LIVE IN A BUBBLE. I
DON'T BELIEVE IN PEOPLE IN GLASS
HOUSES SHOULDN'T THROW STONES. I
THINK THAT WE SHOULD USE EVERY
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKING SURE THAT
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE RESOURCES
AND THEY NEED IN ORDER TO THRIVE
AND GROW, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT
COMES DOWN TO TRAUMA. AND THIS
POLICY THAT WE HAVE BEFORE US
TODAY GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
GIVE ONE MORE TOOL IN THE
TOOLBOX FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. DO
NOT SUFFER IN SILENCE. AND I
WANT TO THANK THE, UH THE CHI
GENTLEMEN FROM MARINO VALLEY
BECAUSE YOU WENT TO SCHOOL FOR
THIS WORK AS A SOCIAL WORKER,
AND YOU SEE IT DAY IN AND DAY
OUT. LISA USED TO AND THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP IN
THIS SPACE AND ELEVATING YOUR
VOICE BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
I'M GOING TO TURN TO IN THIS
SPACE BECAUSE YOU SEE IT. YOU'RE
NOT PRACTICING. YOU ARE WHAT YOU
SAY YOU ARE. AND BY ELEVATING
THIS CONVERSATION TO THIS HOUSE
, IT IS APPROPRIATE AND I THINK
THAT WE SHOULD DO EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO MAKE SURE THERE IS ONE
MORE TOOL BOX FOR PEOPLE WHO
NEED MENTAL SERVICES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A STRONG I
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR GIBSON AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WEBER. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. I, TOO WAS NOT PLANNING
ON RISING. TO SPEAK ON THIS
BILL. UM I THINK IT'S A PRETTY
COMMON SENSE, BILL, AND I'M
SURPRISED THAT WE'RE HAVING
SUCH, UH, DEBATE ABOUT IT. BUT
DEBATE IS GOOD. UM FIRST I WANT
TO ECHO WITH A LOT OF MY OTHER
COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID THAT THIS
IS AN EQUITY THING BECAUSE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE PRIVATE
INSURANCE ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO
THIS AND WE TALK ON THIS FLOOR
ALL THE TIME ABOUT LEVELING THE
PLAYING FIELD, MAKING SURE THAT
EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO QUALITY
HEALTH CARE, REGARDLESS OF THEIR
RACE, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION
OR SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS, AND SO
THAT IS WHAT THIS BILL IS DOING.
SECOND WE KNOW THAT OUR CHILDREN
ARE IN CRISIS RIGHT NOW. AND I
AM A LITTLE DISTURBED TO HEAR
SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
FLOOR. TALK ABOUT WHAT? WE HAVE
PROVISIONS THAT ARE ALREADY IN
THIS BILL OR ALREADY IN LAW.
THAT TALKS ABOUT KIDS THAT ARE
IN AN EMERGENT STATE. THAT KID
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN
WHO ARE READY TO HARM THEMSELVES
OR OTHERS. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
YOU, BUT AS A PHYSICIAN, I LIKE
TO PREVENT THOSE THINGS FROM
HAPPENING. SO IF A CHILD IS 12
13 14 YEARS OLD, AND THEY
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY NEED SOME
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. I
ACTUALLY APPLAUD THEM FOR THAT.
BECAUSE 2030 YEARS AGO IN MY
GENERATION, WE WOULD NOT HAVE
HAD THAT KNOWLEDGE AND THE
STIGMA ATTACK BUT ATTACHED TO IT
WOULD HAVE PREVENTED A LOT OF
PEOPLE FROM SEEKING THAT CARE.
SO I DON'T WANT TO WAIT UNTIL AN
EMERGENCY UNTIL SOMEONE TRIES TO
TAKE THEIR LIFE. IF I CAN SEE
ONE LESS PATIENT WITH CUTS ON
THEIR ARMS. BECAUSE THEY WENT
AND GOT MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT
WHEN THEY STARTED FEELING A
LITTLE DEPRESSED, A LITTLE
ANXIOUS. IF I CAN HEAR ABOUT ONE
LESS PATIENT THAT WENT AND TOOK
A BOTTLE OF PILLS TO ALLEVIATE
THEIR PAIN BECAUSE THEY GOT
PREVENTATIVE TREATMENT. THAT IS
WHAT WE NEED TO BE FOCUSED ON.
AND THIRD. I'M NOT SURE IF ANY
OF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN IN
THERAPY, OR YOUR CHILDREN HAVE
BEEN IN THERAPY. BUT IN ANY
SITUATION WHERE YOU TALK TO A
PATIENT OR A CHILD BY
THEMSELVES, YOU ALWAYS
ENCOURAGED TALKING TO THE
PARENTS. UNLESS THE PARENT IS
THE PROBLEM OR THE HOME
ENVIRONMENT IS UNSAFE. ALWAYS I
DON'T KNOW IF ANY PHYSICIAN OR
ANY THERAPIST THAT TELLS SOMEONE
DON'T TELL YOUR PARENTS DON'T
TALK TO YOUR PARENTS. SO WHAT?
THIS BILL DOES NOT REMOVE
PARENTAL RIGHTS. IT OPENS ACCESS
, AND IT ACTUALLY HELPS FAMILIES
TALK TO ONE ANOTHER WHEN IT IS
THE RIGHT TIME. SO I REALLY
THINK THAT WE NEED TO SIT BACK
AND THINK ABOUT WHAT WE CLAIM WE
WANT TO DO. AND ACTUALLY START
DOING IT. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, I
ASKED FOR RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR
YOUR I VOTE ON A B 665. THANK
YOU, DR WEBBER. AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S OF HER YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. I ALSO WASN'T GOING
TO TALK ABOUT THIS BILL TODAY,
BUT, UM, MY SEAT MATE FROM
CARSON, I THINK MADE A GOOD
POINT. AND IN FACT, IT IS THE
REALITY THAT OFTEN THE PARENTS
OR A PROBLEM WHEN IT COMES TO
LGBT Q. PLUS KIDS WE KNOW THAT
LGBT Q. PLUS KIDS ARE MORE THAN
FOUR TIMES MORE LIKELY TO DROP
OUT OF SCHOOL. THEY'RE MORE
LIKELY TO BE LIVING IN TO BE AN
HOUSED THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO
HAVE ENGAGEMENT, THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM. UM AND THEY'RE
MUCH MORE LIKELY TO HAVE SUICIDE
INDICATION, LIKE TO THE EXTENT
OF FOUR TIMES WHAT A NON LGBT Q
PLUS PERSON IS, KID IS AND IF
YOU'RE A MEMBER OF A OF A OF
ANOTHER COMMUNITY THAT'S ALSO,
UH, SUBJECT TO DISCRIMINATION
AND LACK OF ACCEPTANCE. THOSE
NUMBERS ARE EVEN HIGHER. UM IT
IS JUST CRUCIAL THAT WE ALLOW
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS TO,
UM, SERVE OUR KIDS WHEN THEY'RE
ASKING FOR IT, AND OFTEN, THE
BEST THING FOR THE KID IS TO
ALLOW THAT RELATIONSHIP TO BE
WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL. AND SO, UM THIS IS
A REALLY IMPORTANT BILL. UM AND
, UM AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO
SUBSTITUTE FOR LOVING PARENTS.
AND OBVIOUSLY, THIS ISN'T
SOMETHING THAT IS INTENDED TO
EVER. UM UH, INTRUDE ON THAT.
BUT THE REALITY IS THAT WE NEED
TO PUT OUR KIDS FIRST AND CAN
OFTEN THE PARENTS ARE THE
PROBLEM. I MEAN, NOT EVERY KID
HAS A HOME WHERE THEY CAN COME
HOME TO AND BE ACCEPTED FOR WHO
THEY ARE, ESPECIALLY WHEN
THEY'RE ADDRESSING A LOT OF
THEIR ISSUES RELATED TO THEIR
IDENTITY. SO FOR THOSE REASONS,
I ASKED FOR AN EYE BOAT AS WELL.
THANK YOU, MR ZUBER. AND SOME
MEMBER MARTUCCI, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. I JUST
WANTED TO ADD TO THIS IMPORTANT
CONVERSATION. UH, THAT, YOU KNOW
, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM NICHOLAS. YOU
KNOW, IN AN IDEAL WORLD PARENTS
AND THEIR CHILDREN. UH WE
SHOULD. WE SHOULD KNOW WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN THE LIVES OF OUR
CHILDREN. UM BUT I WANT TO POINT
OUT ONE THING THAT I HAVEN'T
HEARD ANYONE ELSE POINT OUT YET.
WHICH IS THAT? THERE ESPECIALLY
IN MANY CULTURES AND MANY ASIAN
CULTURES, GETTING MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT. GETTING MENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORT. UH IS THERE IS A STRONG
STIGMA AGAINST IT. THERE'S A
CULTURAL STIGMA AGAINST IT, AND
YOU KNOW? ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS
THAT THERE WOULD BE KIDS. THERE
WILL BE STUDENTS OUT THERE THAT
WOULD WANT TO SEEK MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT, BUT THEY'RE AFRAID OF
BEING BRINGING SHAME TO THEIR
FAMILY. THEY'RE THEY'RE AFRAID
OF, BUT, YOU KNOW MAKING THEIR
THEIR PARENTS ASHAMED OF THEM
THAT SOMEHOW THERE'S SOMETHING
WRONG WITH THEM THAT THEY NEED
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND SO
AGAIN, YOU KNOW, AND IDEAL
WORLD. WE SHOULD HAVE, UM
PARENTS, UH, YOU KNOW, TO BE
NOTIFIED OF OR TO BE AWARE, YOU
KNOW, I MEAN, HOPEFULLY THE
IDEAL WORLD, RIGHT? WE HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION ON A DIFFERENT
BILL. UM OVER THE WEEKEND, BUT
IDEALLY, PARENTS AND CHILDREN
SHOULD BE TALKING TO EACH OTHER
SO THAT THEY KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THEIR LIVES. BUT
YOU KNOW, AND IN OUR DIVERSE
STATE, I JUST WANT EVERYONE ON
THIS FLOOR TO KNOW THAT THERE
ARE MANY COMMUNITIES WHERE IT IS
. THERE'S SUCH A STRONG STIGMA
TO GET MENTAL HEALTH. UH HELP
THAT, UH, I BELIEVE THAT THIS
BILL WILL HELP KIDS GET THE HELP
THAT THEY NEED WITHOUT
POTENTIALLY THEIR PARENTS BEING
AN OBSTACLE TO GETTING THAT
HELP. THANK YOU, MR MURATSUCHI.
AND SOME OF THE MEMBER LACKING
YOU WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
MEMBERS. THIS IS A VERY DELICATE
DISCUSSION. AND. I JUST WANT TO
ADD TO, UH THIS VERY SPIRITED
DISCUSSION THAT YOU KNOW, WE
LIVE IN A TIME OF EXTREMES. AND
WE TALKED A LOT ABOUT EQUITY.
AND WE REALLY DON'T CONSIDER
PARENTAL EQUITY. AND THE
RESPONSIBILITY THAT THE PARENTS
HAVE AND DEVELOPMENT.
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THEIR CHILDREN
NOW, CLEARLY THERE ARE
DYSFUNCTIONS, AND CLEARLY THERE
ARE BREAKDOWNS. BUT WHY SUCH AN
EXTREME? RESPONSE AND CUTTING
ALL PARENTS OUT. BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL DOES. AND THERE
ARE OTHER JUSTIFICATIONS THAT
I'VE HEARD IN THIS DISCUSSION.
BUT IT'S STILL DOES NOT EXCUSE
CUTTING PARENTS OUT OF THIS
DECISION. IT'S AN EXTREME
MEASURE. THAT I THINK IS
HURTFUL. TO THE MAJORITY OF
FAMILIES. AND SO FOR THAT REASON
I CANNOT SUPPORT IT. AND I HOPE
YOU'LL CONSIDER THAT POINT.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR LACKING
AND SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS
WISHING TO DISCUSS THIS MEASURE.
MISS KOREA YOU MAY CLOSE THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS
REALLY APPRECIATE THE ROBUST
CONVERSATION AND DEBATE.
CLEARLY. UM. WHEN WE'RE SPEAKING
ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS AND
MENTAL HEALTH EQUITY, AS WELL AS
OUR ABILITY TO CREATE ACCESS FOR
HEALTH CARE TO ALL PEOPLE. THERE
ARE DISPARITIES AND WE HAVE TO
ADDRESS THOSE RESPECTFULLY. I
WOULD LIKE TO CLEAR THE RECORD.
THE BILL DOES NOT ALTER THE
STATE POLICY FAVORING PARENTAL
CONSENT. THE BILL LEAVES IN
PLACE THE PRESUMPTION IN FAVOR
OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT UNLESS
THAT THERAPIST DETERMINES THAT
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT WOULD BE
INAPPROPRIATE. TO WHICH HAS BEEN
ADDRESSED BY THE MEMBERS OF THIS
FLOOR. MOREOVER EXISTING LAW
ALREADY ALREADY ALLOWS YOUNG
PEOPLE, 12 YEARS AND OLDER TO
CONSENT IN MENTAL HEALTH
TREATMENT IF THEY ARE MATURE
ENOUGH TO INTELLECTUALLY
PARTICIPATE, AND IF PARENTAL
INVOLVEMENT WOULD BE
INAPPROPRIATE. BUT THIS IS ONLY
ALLOWED IF THAT YOUNG PERSON HAS
PRIVATE INSURANCE WHEN THIS BILL
PASSED FEW DECADES A FEW YEARS
AGO, DECADE OR SO AGO, IT WAS A
BIPARTISAN EFFORT. REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS REALIZED THAT
YOUNG PEOPLE, YOUNG PEOPLE
NEEDED ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH,
AND IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW BY A
REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR. IT HAD NO
OPPOSITION SINCE THEN. THE
EXTREMES ON BOTH SIDES HAVE
GOTTEN SO EXTREME. THAT WE HAVE
A HARD TIME ACTUALLY TALKING
ABOUT THE NEED FOR MENTAL
HEALTH. WE TALKED ABOUT IT A
LOT, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO IT
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO ACTUALLY
MAKE IT A REALITY FOR YOUNG
PEOPLE? WE HAD A YOUNG MAN 13
YEARS OF AGE IN THE DISTRICT,
RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO US IN OUR
BORDER LINE OF THE DISTRICT
COMMITS SUICIDE BY STANDING IN
FRONT. OF A PASSING TRAIN JUST
ABOUT A WEEK OR SO AGO. THIS IS
HAPPENING EVERY DAY THAT YOUNG
PERSON COULD HAVE RECEIVED
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT IF THEY
NEEDED IT. ADDITIONALLY, UM. THE
CALIFORNIA COALITION FOR YOUTH
ESTIMATES THAT THERE ARE ABOUT
1,200,000. YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER
THE AGE OF 18 THAT LIVE IN
CALIFORNIA STREETS. EVERY DAY.
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T HAVE
PARENTS. THEY CAN'T GET PARENTAL
CONSENT. AND IF THEY WERE ABLE
TO GET MEDICAL, THEY WOULD NOT
QUALIFY BECAUSE THEY'RE
EXCLUDED. THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT
NOW IS HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS.
LET'S TALK ABOUT THOSE YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO ARE UNDER 18, WHO ARE
VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
BECAUSE THEY LIVE ON THE STREETS
AND HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS.
RIGHT. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
THEM? WE'RE NOT BECAUSE WE'RE
NOT INCLUDING THEM. THIS IS A
VERY PRACTICAL BILL ABOUT
INCLUSION ABOUT A LAW THAT IS
ALREADY IN EXISTENCE. WE ARE NOT
CHANGING ANYTHING ABOUT THE LAW,
ONLY SAYING INCLUDE EVERYONE.
AND THE ONLY REASON THAT MEDICAL
RECIPIENTS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO
BE A PART OF THIS LAW WAS
BECAUSE WE WERE UNDER A
RECESSION WHEN THIS WAS SIGNED
INTO LAW, AND IT WAS COSTLY. WE
ARE NOT IN THAT POSITION NOW.
AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
ENSURE THAT A YOUNG PERSON 12
YEARS OF AN OLDER WHO IS MATURE
ENOUGH HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TO A THERAPIST AND OFTEN
TIMES WHAT A YOUNG PERSON NEEDS
ITS SUPPORT AND HOW TO TALK
ABOUT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
WITH THEIR PARENT. THIS IS NOT
ABOUT EXCLUSION. THIS IS ABOUT
ACCESS AND EQUITY. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AND
I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,

THIS IS FILE ITEM. 34 A JR TO
READ ASSEMBLY JOINT RESOLUTION
TO BIAS REMAINS RELATIVE TO SEE
GENOCIDE. AND IT'S A MEMBER
MEANS YOU MAY OPEN. THANK YOU,
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY I RISE
TO PRESENT A. J. R TO BRING
RECOGNITION TO A VERY DARK
CHAPTER IN HISTORY IN 1984. OVER
JUST THREE DAYS. OVER 30,000
SIKHS IN INDIA WERE PERSECUTED,
MURDERED, RAPED AND IMPRISONED
WITHOUT CAUSE. COUNTLESS SIKH
GURDWARA ZIN PUNJAB WERE
DESTROYED OR DAMAGED AND PEOPLE
WERE KILLED. SIMPLY FOR BEING
SEEK. GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
PERMITTED AND EVEN ENCOURAGED
THE MURDER AND BLOODSHED AND
ISSUED ORDERS TO PREVENT LAW
ENFORCEMENT FROM INTERVENING.
FOR THESE THREE DAYS THERE WAS
MASS PERSECUTION, MURDER, RAPES
OF MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS. AND
NOBODY DID ANYTHING TO STOP IT.
RECOGNIZING THE STATE SPONSORED
GENOCIDE THAT TARGETED SIKHS
ACROSS INDIA IS AN IMPORTANT AND
HISTORIC STEP. TOWARDS JUSTICE,
ACCOUNTABILITY AND
RECONCILIATION. I AM PROUD TO BE
SEEK. AND WHILE OUR COMMUNITY
HAS HAD MANY ALLIES IN THE
LEGISLATURE, I AM PROUD TO BE
THE FIRST SEEK TO BE ABLE TO
SPEAK FOR MY COMMUNITY ON THIS
FLOOR. THIS WEEK. IS A VERY HOLY
WEEK FOR THE WORLD'S MAJOR
RELIGIONS. WITH EASTER, PASSOVER
, RAMADAN AND WYSOCKI, ALL
FALLING WITHIN THE SAME WEEK.
BILLIONS OF PEOPLE THROUGHOUT
THE WORLD ARE CELEBRATING AND
REMEMBERING THE STORIES THAT
DEFINE THEIR BELIEFS. BUT YOU
CANNOT. WISH ME A HAPPY WITH
STOCKY WITHOUT FIRST
ACKNOWLEDGING WHAT HAPPENED TO
MY COMMUNITY AND 1984. I WAS
BORN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DELHI
RIOTS, AND MY ENTIRE CHILDHOOD
WAS FILLED WITH THE MEMORIES OF
WHAT TRANSPIRED IN 1984. AND
TODAY I STAND UP AND SAY ENOUGH.
LET US IGNORE KNOWLEDGE AND
BRING JUSTICE TO A DARK TIME IN
HISTORY WHEN THERE WAS NO
JUSTICE. SIKHS WERE ASSAULTED,
TORTURED, BURNED ALIVE AND
MURDERED. SIKH WOMEN, MANY OF
WHOM LOST THEIR FAMILIES DURING
THE GENOCIDE WERE SEXUALLY
ASSAULTED AND RAPED BY GROUPS OF
ATTACKERS. SEEKS HOMES
BUSINESSES GUARE'S WERE LOOTED,
DAMAGED AND DESTROYED DURING THE
GENOCIDE, CAUSING THE
INTENTIONAL DESTRUCTION OF MANY
SIKH FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES AND
BUSINESSES. THE WIDOW COLONY IN
NEW DELHI. STILL HOUSES SEEK
WOMEN WHO WERE ASSAULTED, RAPED.
TORTURED AND FORCED TO WITNESS
THE MURDER OF THEIR FAMILIES.
THEY'RE STILL CALLING FOR
JUSTICE AGAINST THE PERPETRATORS
TO THIS DAY. THE INDIAN
GOVERNMENT THROUGH OFFICIALS AND
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AND WITH
THE SUPPORT OF THE POLICE ALL
PARTICIPATED IN THE GENOCIDE AND
FAILED TO INTERVENE AND PREVENT
IT. AND AS I STAND HERE TODAY,
ANOTHER PERSECUTION IS HAPPENING
AGAINST SIKHS IN INDIA RIGHT
NOW, AS I SPEAK. THE GOVERNMENT
HAS SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET ALL
ACROSS PUNJAB AND MASS ARRESTS
ARE HAPPENING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE
TODAY. THE EVENTS OF 1984 CANNOT
REPEAT THEMSELVES, BUT THEY WILL
IF WE DO NOT LEARN THE LESSONS
HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US. I STAND
IN SOLIDARITY WITH MY COMMUNITY
TO DEMAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF A
GENOCIDE THAT HAPPENED OF THE
SIKH FAITH ALMOST 40 YEARS AGO
IN INDIA. FOR THESE REASONS, I
ASK YOU TO JOIN ME IN SUPPORT OF
A J. R TWO. THANK YOU, DR BAINES
AND SOME MEMBER VÆ VALLAPUDUA
NEAR RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. TODAY I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF A JR. TO THE CALLS OUT THE
ATROCITIES COMMITTED AGAINST
SIKHS IN INDIA LESS THAN 40
YEARS AGO. CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO
ROUGHLY HALF OF THE NATION'S
SIKH POPULATION. NATIONS FIRST
SIKH TEMPLE WAS ESTABLISHED IN
MY HOMETOWN OF STOCKTON'S
DESPITE DECADES DECADES OF THE
CULTURE OF BEING BEING WOVEN
INTO THE FABRIC OF OUR SOCIETY,
WE STILL FACE HIGH LEVELS OF
HARASSMENT. EMPLOYMENT
DISCRIMINATION AND HATE CRIMES.
WE KNOW THAT THAT EMOTIONAL
TRAUMA CAN BE PASSED FROM
GENERATION TO GENERATION,
ESPECIALLY TRAUMA FROM GENOCIDE
AND MASS ASSAULT ON ON A
POPULATION WELL, THESE SCARS MAY
TAKE YEARS TO HEAL. WE NEED TO
STAND AND SUPPORT OUR SIKH
COMMUNITY. WE NEED TO CALL OUT
THESE INJUSTICE THAT OCCUR AND
CONDEMNED THEM TO THE STRONGEST

THE LIFE OF A DRAG LEGEND. A
BRILLIANT, DYNAMIC, TRAILBLAZING
PERFORMER. A SMALL BUSINESS
OWNER AND A COMMUNITY LEADER,
HEAD CLEANER. IN A CITY THAT IS
KNOWN IN MANY WAYS ACROSS THE
WORLD AS THE HOME AND THE
COMMUNITY OF DRAG. HECK LENA WAS
THE PREMIER DRAG QUEEN OF OUR
CITY. HER BRASH, AUDACIOUS,
LARGER THAN LIFE STYLE OF DRAG
BROUGHT DECADES OF JOY TO THE
COUNTLESS AUDIENCE MEMBERS,
COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND CHOSEN
FAMILY WHO CAME TO ANYONE OF HER
NUMEROUS SHOWS. AS HER CO OWNER
OF OASIS DARCY DRAW, OLINGER
SAID SHE CREATED A DRAG MOVEMENT
THAT CHANGED WHAT WE SEE AS DRAG
PERFORMANCE NOT ONLY IN SAN
FRANCISCO AND THE U. S BUT
AROUND THE WORLD IS PROBABLY
BEST KNOWN AS CO FOUNDER AND
HOSTESS OF TRAINEE SHACK AT THE
STUD. A PARTY THAT STARTED IN
THE EARLY 19 NINETIES. IT WAS
IRREVERENT, PLAYFUL, SHOCKING AT
TIMES, AND YOU NEVER KNEW WHAT
YOU WERE GOING TO GET AT THE T
SHACK. IT HELPED TO SHAPE AND
DEFINE SAN FRANCISCO'S DRAG
SCENE AND INFLUENCE THE DRAG
SEEN ALL ACROSS THE WORLD. OVER
THE YEARS, ALINA HAS BEEN A PART
OF NUMEROUS EVENTS, INCLUDING
MOTHER AT OASIS, DAYTIME
REALNESS AT EL RIO AND LIVE
THEATER SHOWS SUCH AS INCREDIBLE
VERSIONS OF SEX IN THE CITY,
GOLDEN GIRLS AND ROSEANNE SHOWS
WHICH TOURED AROUND THE WORLD.
THE CULTURAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF

OF SAN FRANCISCO AND THE GLOBAL
DRAG COMMUNITY ARE UNDENIABLE,
AND SHE WILL FOREVER BE
REMEMBERED AS AN ICON OF OUR
CITY, OUR STATE AND THE GLOBAL
GRAD DRAG COMMUNITY ALSO WANT TO
SAY AT THIS TIME, IT IS
ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
HONOR HECK, LENA AND DRAG QUEENS

WORLD THAT HAVE CONTINUED TO
CREATE THIS INCREDIBLE, CREATIVE
, JOYFUL ART FORM AND COMMUNITY
RIGHT NOW WE'RE SEEING ALL
ACROSS OUR COUNTRY. UH DRAG

THEN RENAMED TO MOTHER. IT WAS
AT THE STUD BAR. UM AS

QUEER MISFITS AND THEIR ALLIES

SPACES NOW ARE BEING THREATENED
AROUND THIS COUNTRY. ARE BEING

MANY PEOPLE A GIFT. YOUNG AND
