JUST SAY DO PASS.
GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING, MR
CHAIR AND MEMBERS. UM, TODAY I
WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT MY BILL A
B 12 90, WHICH SEEKS TO PHASE
PVC PP. FOSS P. T. G S NON
DETECTABLE PIGMENTS, OXO
DEGRADABLE ADDITIVES AND
PIGMENTS THAT MAKE P E T BOTTLES
OPAQUE OR COLORS OTHER THAN
TRANSPARENT BLUE OR GREEN. THESE
ARE SIX OF 11, PLASTIC MATERIALS
AND ADDITIVES THAT HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED BY BOTH NGOS AND
INDUSTRY LEADERS SUCH AS COCA
COLA AND WAL MART AS THE MOST
PROBLEMATIC AND UNNECESSARY
THESE MATERIALS ARE EXTREMELY
TOXIC, CREATE HEALTH RISKS OR
ARE EXTREMELY CHALLENGING TO
RECYCLE PLASTIC ADDITIVES AND
MATERIALS ARE STILL PRODUCED AND
SOLD TO CONSUMERS. I HAVE ADDED
AUTHOR AMENDMENTS AND POLICY
COMMITTEE TO KEEP THE COSTS LOW
BY HAVING THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
AND FORCED THESE PROVISIONS.
ACCORDING TO THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS, THE COST FOR THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO ENFORCE THIS
BILL IS MINOR AND ABSORBABLE.
TODAY. I HAVE TWO WITNESSES TO
TESTIFY AND SUPPORT OF A B 12 90
KAYLA ROBINSON ON BEHALF OF
BREAST CANCER PREVENTION
PARTNERS AND MARCO PRAIA ON
BEHALF OF REPUBLIC SERVICES.
GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING CHAIR
AND MEMBERS KAYLA ROBINSON ON
BEHALF OF BREAST CANCER PENSION
PARTNERS, AN ORGANIZATION
WORKING TO PREVENT BREAST CANCER
BY REDUCING OUR EXPOSURE TO
CHEMICALS LINKED TO THE DISEASE
. WE ARE DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT
THE TOXICITY OF THE PLASTIC
MATERIALS AND ADDITIVES BANNED
IN A B 12 90 TODAY WILL FOCUS ON
THREE OF THE MOST TOXIC
MATERIALS AND ADDITIVES COVERED
BY THE BILL PVC PE FAST AND OXO
DEGRADABLE ADDITIVES. NO PLASTIC
CREATES MORE HARM THAN THE LIFE
CYCLE OF PVC PVC PRODUCTION AND
DISPOSAL USES AND RELEASES
HIGHLY TOXIC CHEMICALS,
INCLUDING VINYL CHLORIDE, WHICH
ARE LINKED TO BREAST CANCER AND
OTHER HARMS THE EAST PALESTINE,
OHIO TRAIN DERAILMENT AND SPILL
DEMONSTRATES THE DANGER OF
TRANSPORTING THESE CHEMICALS AND
IT WILL TAKE YEARS TO KNOW THE
FULL EXTENT OF THIS
ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH
DISASTER. A B 12 90 WOULD ALSO
BAN PER AND PAUL IF LAUREL
ALCOHOL SUBSTANCES, OR P FAST
FROM THE FROM ALL PACKAGING HE
FASTER LINKED TO NUMEROUS SEVERE
HEALTH PROBLEMS, INCLUDING
CANCER HORMONE, DISRUPTION,
KIDNEY AND LIVER DAMAGE AND
DEVELOPMENTAL HARM. AND
CALIFORNIA HAS ALREADY BANNED P
FAST FROM NUMEROUS NUMEROUS
PRODUCT CATEGORIES. AND A B 12
90 WILL JUST CONTINUE TO REDUCE
EXPOSURE TO OUR STATE, AND
FINALLY, OXFORD DEGRADABLE
ADDITIVES ARE ADDED TO PLASTIC
AND FRAGMENT THEM INTO
MICROPLASTICS. BANNING THEM LIKE
THE YOU DID IN 2021 WILL REDUCE
MICROPLASTICS RELEASED INTO OUR
AIR, WATER AND FOOD. A B 12 90
WILL REDUCE CALIFORNIA EXPOSURE
TO TOXIC CHEMICALS RESULTING
FROM THE MANUFACTURING DISPOSAL
AND BREAKDOWN OF THESE PLASTICS
AND THEREFORE REDUCE HEALTH
COSTS FOR THE STATE AND THE
APPROXIMATELY 32,000
CALIFORNIANS, WOMEN WHO WILL BE
DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER
EACH YEAR, AND THE 4600 WOMEN
WHO WILL DIE FROM IT CANNOT
AFFORD TO WAIT ANOTHER DECADE TO
BE BETTER PROTECTED. AND I
RESPECT THE ER. DRIVE OUT. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. MR CHAIRMAN,
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MARCO
PRAYER. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF
REPUBLIC SERVICES. FIRST WE
WANNA THANK ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
RIVAS FOR INTRODUCING THIS
IMPORTANT MEASURE. IN RECENT
YEARS, THE STATE HAS MOVED TO
ELIMINATE THE FAST FROM MULTIPLE
PRODUCT CATEGORIES, INCLUDING
CLOTHING, TEXTILE, PAPER BASED
FOOD, PACKAGING, FIREFIGHTING,
FOAM AND CHILDREN'S PRODUCTS
BECAUSE OF THE HEALTH CONCERNS
ASSOCIATED WITH THESE TOXIC
FOREVER CHEMICALS REPUBLIC
SERVICES HAS LONG SUPPORTED SUCH
EFFORTS TO KEEP PFS OUT OF THE
SOLID WASTE STREAM, AND WE DO SO
AGAIN IN OUR SUPPORT OF A B 12
90. NOW SOME OF THE OPPOSITION
TO A B 12 90 HAVE SUGGESTED THAT
THIS MEASURE RUNS COUNTER TO AND
UNDERMINE SENATE BILL 54 OF LAST
YEAR AND THAT THERE ARE SOME
THAT THERE WAS SOME COMMITMENT
TO NOT ENACT FUTURE LEGISLATION
IMPACTING SINGLE USE PLASTIC
PACKAGING MR CHAIR MEMBERS. A B
2012 90 DOES NOT RUN COUNTER TO
OR UNDERMINE SB 50 FOR REPUBLIC
SERVICES SUPPORTED THE FIRST
ITERATION OF SB 54 GOING BACK
FOUR YEARS WE WERE INTIMATELY
INVOLVED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THAT LEGISLATION, AND AT NO TIME
WAS THERE ANY COMMITMENT OR
PROMISE TO ENACT FUTURE TO NOT
ENACT FUTURE LEGISLATION.
IMPACTING SINGLE USED PLASTIC
PACKAGING. A B 12 90 PHASES OUT
OF A SUBSET OF MATERIALS THAT
ARE THE MOST TOXIC OR POSE. THE
GREATEST CHALLENGES TO RECYCLING
AS SUCH. WE AT RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR I VOTE ON A B 12 90
. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I WILL
LOOK TO THE PUBLIC. IS THERE
ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE THAT
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OR OPPOSITION? IS THIS WHEN THEY
WERE SHOT, DEODORANT SMELLS AND
LYING ON BEHALF OF MAYOR OF
LONDON BREED OF SAN FRANCISCO

MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN, MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE TIM CHESTED WITH
THE AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL.
WE ARE HERE IN OPPOSITION TO A B
12 90. THERE ARE HAVE BEEN TWO
BILLS PASSED OVER THE LAST
COUPLE OF SESSIONS. SB 54 BY
SENATOR ALLEN AND S PEOPLE SIT 3
43 BY BY SENATOR ALLEN BOTH SET
UP A VERY RIGOROUS AND
COMPREHENSIVE PACKAGING
RECYCLING AND REDUCTION PROGRAM
AT CAL RECYCLE. WE THINK ANY
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH A B 12 90
, HOWEVER NEGLIGIBLE IS
UNWARRANTED AND UNNECESSARY,
GIVEN THE FACT THAT CALORIE
CYCLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE
PROCESS OF DEVELOPING
IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS OF BOTH
BILLS TAKEN TOGETHER, LOOK AT
HOW TO REDUCE AND RECYCLE AND
ESTABLISHED CRITERIA FOR
DETERMINING PRODUCTS THAT ARE
CAN BE LABELED RECYCLABLE UNDER
UNDER SB 3 43. THOSE CRITERIA
THAT ARE ESTABLISHED IN THAT
BILL. LOOK AT VARIOUS COMPONENTS
OF PACKAGING, INCLUDING THOSE
SUBSTANCES THAT ARE ADDED TO
PACK PACKAGING AS WELL AS
LABELS, INKS AND OTHER
COMPONENTS. SO PART PRODUCERS
ARE GOING TO HAVE NO OTHER
RESPONSIBILITY OR NO OTHER
REQUIREMENT OTHER THAN TO MEET
THE REQUIREMENTS OF SB 3 43. IF
THEY'RE GOING TO MEET THE
COMPLIANCE OBLIGATIONS UNDER SB
54. SO FOR THESE REASONS, WE ARE
OPPOSED TO A B 12 90. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE
THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR OR
AGAINST THIS BILL. AND I LEFT
THE LAST SPEAKER HAVE A LITTLE
LATITUDE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T HAVE
A WITNESS IN CNN WILL COME BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE IS THERE ARE
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? ON
BEHALF OF THE COMMITTEE. S¼ NONE
OF THEIR EMOTION. THANK YOU.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? YES.
THANK YOU, MR CHAIRMAN. MEMBERS
UM, YOU KNOW, I HAVE LISTENED TO
THE OPPOSITION, UM, BOTH IN
NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE AND
NOW HERE TODAY. UM I HAVE TO SAY
IT'S DISINGENUOUS TO SUGGEST
THAT THESE PROBLEMATIC PLASTICS
WERE INTENDED TO BE COVERED
UNDER SB 54. I WAS AS THE CHAIR
OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND AS A
JOINT AUTHOR OF SB 54 FULLY
AWARE. I'M FULLY AWARE OF WHAT
THAT BILL WAS AND WAS NOT
INTENDED TO DO. UM THE PLASTICS
COVERED UNDER MY BILL ARE
INDEPENDENT OF THAT DISCUSSION
AND INTENDED TO ADDRESS A
SERIOUS OMISSION IN OUR
REGULATORY PROCESS THAT DOES NOT
COVER THESE NON RECYCLABLE AND
TOXIC MATERIALS. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU. WE
APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK IN
THIS AREA. THE BILL IS OUT. TO
PASS THE REAL COLD. THANK YOU.
OKAY WE NEED AUTHORS. IN THE
MEANTIME, WE'LL TURN TO THE

WITH THAT. OH, LET'S MAKE THAT
HAPPEN. DR WEBBER. MAYBE 7 TO 7.

ABSORBABLE COST WITH THIS BILL.

CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
SANITATION AGENCIES. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

WITNESS TO PRESENT ALRIGHT? BILL
AH LEO FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP TO SPONSOR CO

YOU. THANK YOU. ANYONE FROM THE

FOR SALE TYPE 48 LICENSE TABLET

WELCOME. YOUR MIKE. NO, NO, NO.
OKAY. GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. MAYBE 13 08 WOULD
PROHIBIT A PUBLIC AGENCY FROM
IMPOSING A NEW MINIMUM PARKING
REQUIREMENTS ON A PROJECT TO
REMODEL UPDATE, RENOVATE OR ADD
TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTS
PROVIDED THE PROJECT DOES NOT
CAUSE THE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENT
TO EXCEED A FLOOR AREA RATIO
RESTRICTION. CURRENT REGULATIONS
AMONG A NUMBER OF CITIES AND
COUNTIES REQUIRE ANY SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTS OWNER TO ADD
TWO COVERED PARKING SPACES FOR
ANY REMODEL, UPDATE OR ADD ON.
HOWEVER UNDER CURRENT LAW, LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS CANNOT IMPOSE ANY
PARKING REQUIREMENT FOR
ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS.
PARKING STRUCTURES ON SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTS CAN COST
UPWARDS OF 25,000. TAKE UP VITAL
LAND SPACE ON THE PROPERTY, AND
YET FAMILIES MAY NOT OWN ANY
ADDITIONAL CARS. THIS REAL
CREATES AN INEQUITIES FOR
HOMEOWNERS SEEKING TO BUILD
ADDITIONS THAT OFTEN DO NOT
GENERATE ANY ADDITIONAL PARKING
DEMAND. A B 13 08 DOES NOT
PROHIBIT PROPERTY OWNERS FROM
BUILDING PARKING. IT WOULD
SIMPLY GIVE THEM THE FLEXIBILITY
TO DECIDE HOW MUCH PARKING TO
BUILD BASED ON THEIR NEEDS AND
AFFORDABILITY, INSTEAD OF
REQUIRING THEM TO COMPLY WITH A
ONE SIZE FITS ALL MANDATE. A B
13 08 HAS HAD BIPARTISAN
SUPPORT. VERY GOOD. IS THERE
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT
WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT EITHER IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION? SEE NONE
WILL COME BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.
IS THERE A MOTION. THANK YOU OF
THE BILL IS OUT ON A DO PASS
REPUBLICANS VOTING HIGH WITH MS
DICKSON AND MISS SANCHEZ VOTING
NO. THANK YOU MEMBERS. THANK
YOU. ROUHANI. MAYBE 12 86. THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS. A B
12 86 IS A PATIENT SAFETY BILL.
THAT ESTABLISHES FIRST IN THE
NATION PROTECTIONS FROM LIFE
THREATENING MEDICATION ERRORS
THAT UNDERSTAFFED AND UNDER
UNSAFE PHARMACIES. SPECIFICALLY
THE BILL REQUIRES MANDATORY
REPORTING OF ALL MEDICATION
HEIRS TO A THIRD PARTY ENTITY
APPROVED BY THE CALIFORNIA STATE
BOARD OF PHARMACY. IT ALSO
ADDRESSES THE INADEQUATE
STAFFING AND UNSAFE WORKING
CONDITIONS IN MANY COMMUNITY
CHAIN PHARMACIES THAT CAN LEAD
TO MEDICATION ERRORS. CHAIN
PHARMACIES AND PHARMACISTS WHO
WORK FOR THEM ARE INSTRUMENTAL
IN DELIVERING CARE TO
CALIFORNIANS. HOWEVER RECENT
NEWS REPORTS HAVE HIGHLIGHTED
ALARMING MEDICATION ERRORS IN
THIS SETTING, INCLUDING ERRORS
THAT HAVE LED TO HOSPITALIZATION
OR DEATH. ADDITIONALLY THERE
HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF UNSANITARY
CONDITIONS AND COMMUNITY CHAIN
PHARMACIES, INCLUDING RODENT
INFESTATIONS, INSUFFICIENT
STAFFING, UNSANITARY CONDITIONS
OR LACK OF AUTONOMY TO MAKE
CLINICAL DECISIONS IS IN THE
BEST INTERESTS OF THE PATIENT
CAN LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN
MEDICATION AIRS. AND WHILE
SIGNIFICANT TIME AND RESEARCH
HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO EVALUATING
MEDICATION, ERRORS OCCURRING IN
INPATIENT SETTINGS LIKE
HOSPITALS SIMILAR RESEARCH AND
INFORMATION SHARING DOES NOT
EXIST IN THE COMMUNITY PHARMACY
SETTING BECAUSE OF THIS
MEDICATION ERRORS ARE WIDELY
UNDER REPORTED AND UNKNOWN AND
HAVE DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS ON
PATIENTS. UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS
NO REQUIREMENT. UNDER CURRENT
LAW FOR PHARMACIES TO TRACK
MEDICATION ERRORS OR TO CONSIDER
THE PHARMACY WORKING CONDITIONS
. THIS WILL ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES
BY REQUIRING MANDATORY REPORTING
GIVING PHARMACY STAFF AUTONOMY
OVER WORKING CONDITIONS. AS THE
ANALYSIS NOTES, THIS BILL WILL
HAVE MINOR AND OBSERVABLE COSTS
. AND AS WE'VE MENTIONED, I'M
COMMITTED TO WORKING ON LANGUAGE
SPECIFICALLY ON PHARMACY
CLOSURES AND HOPE TO TAKE
AMENDMENTS THAT WILL ADDRESS
SOME OF THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS HERE TO TESTIFY WITH ME
TODAY IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE
BOARD OF PHARMACY. OH AND SODA
GREEN SODERGREN. ALWAYS THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE BOARD
OF PHARMACY WHO'S AVAILABLE FOR
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING, CHAIRPERSON HOLDEN
, VICE CHAIR DALIA, MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF
PHARMACY. I SINCERELY THANK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HANEY FOR
AUTHORING THIS IMPORTANT PUBLIC
HEALTH MEASURE AND THE COMMITTEE
AND ITS STAFF FOR ITS
CONSIDERATION OF THIS MEASURE
TODAY. MY NAME IS SANGO,
PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE BORDER PHARMACY. BY
STATUTE. THE BOARD IS A CONSUMER
PROTECTION AGENCY CHARGED WITH
REGULATING THE PRACTICE OF
PHARMACY EXPLICITLY STATED IN
PHARMACY LAW WHENEVER THE
PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC IS
INCONSISTENT, WHETHER INTERESTS
ARE THOUGHT TO BE PROMOTED TO
PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC SHALL
BE PARAMOUNT. CONSISTENT WITH
THIS LEGISLATIVE MANDATE. THE
BOARD IS SPONSORING A B 12 86 1
OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PATIENT
SAFETY MEASURES EVER SPONSORED
BY THE BOARD. AS HAS BEEN
REPORTED IN THE MEDIA DISCUSSED
NATIONALLY WITNESSED AND
EXPERIENCED BY PATIENTS AND
DEMONSTRATED THROUGH THE BOARDS
. WORKFORCE SURVEYS CURRENT
WORKPLACE CHALLENGES, MOST
NOTABLY IN COMMUNITY CHANGE,
PHARMACIES ARE PLACING PATIENTS
AT RISK. AS TIME IS LIMITED.
I'LL FOCUS MY TESTIMONY ON KEY
FINDINGS FROM THE BOARD SURVEY.
OF THE SURVEY. RESPONSES FROM
COMMUNITY CHANGE, PHARMACIST 78%
SAID THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THEY
HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO PROVIDE
ADEQUATE SCREENING PRIOR TO THE
ADMINISTRATION OF IMMUNIZATIONS
, 83% SAY THEY DO NOT BELIEVE
THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME TO
PROVIDE APPROPRIATE PATIENT
CONSULTATION AND 91% THEY DID
NOT BELIEVE STAFFING IN THEIR
PRIMARY WORK SIGNED AS
APPROPRIATE TO ENSURE ADEQUATE
PATIENT CARE. THESE RESPONSES
PAINT A PICTURE RIGHT FOR
CONSUMER HARM. THE URGENCY OF
THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE OVERSTATED
OR PURPOSES OF THE MEETING HERE
TODAY, THOUGH, I'LL HIGHLIGHT
THAT THE BOARD BELIEVES ANY
FISCAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH
THIS MEASURE TO BE MINOR AND
ABSORBABLE GOOD PUBLIC POLICY
AND THE BOARD'S CONSUMER
PROTECTION MANDATE. DEMAND THAT
THE BOARD TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT
FUTURE. MEDICATION ERROR. I
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF A B 12 86 AND
YOUR ASSISTANCE HELPING THE
BOARD PROTECT CALIFORNIA
CONSUMERS. THANK YOU. YOU'RE
HERE FOR TECHNICAL. OKAY WE'LL
TURN TO THE PUBLIC. IS THERE
ANYONE HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK IN FAVOR AND OPPOSITION?
GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN,
ALBERTO TORRICO ON BEHALF OF THE
UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL
WORKERS, WESTERN STATES COUNSEL
AND SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING,
JENNIFER SNYDER, ON BEHALF OF
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
PHARMACY COALITION WERE,
UNFORTUNATELY UNOPPOSED UNLESS
AMENDED POSITION. UM JUST WANT
TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE
BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE
SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO THE BOARD
AND ALSO SIGNIFICANT COSTS TO
THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. UM 12 86
WILL AUTHORIZE PHARMACISTS IN
CHARGE TO ARBITRARILY CLOSED
PHARMACIES AND THAT WILL FORCE
PATIENTS, ESPECIALLY IN RURAL
AND UNDERSERVED AREAS INTO THE
HOSPITAL. EMERGENCY ROOM.
PHARMACY CLOSURES ARE HIGHLY
LIKELY WITH A B 12 86 IF THE
BILL IS PASSED, AND BECAUSE IT
ALLOWS A PHARMACIST IN CHARGE TO
CLOSE THE PHARMACY BELIEVE
EITHER THERE'S INSUFFICIENT
STAFFING. OR THERE IS SOME TYPE
OF UNDEFINED EDIE IMMEDIATE RISK
OR HARM OR SAFETY T EMPLOYER
PATIENTS. WE THINK THIS TYPE OF
AUTHORITY IS UNPRECEDENTED, THE
HEALTHCARE SETTING AND IT PLACES
PATIENT ACCESS TO MEDICATIONS AT
RISK, ESPECIALLY IF THEY SHOW UP
IN A PHARMACY. THAT PHARMACY HAS
BEEN CLOSED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE
TO THE PATIENT OR TO THE
PRESCRIBERS WHEN THAT OCCURS.
LASTLY I JUST WANT TO SAY REAL
QUICKLY THAT WE DO THINK THE NEW
REQUIREMENT RELATED TO
MEDICATION ERRORS REPORTING WILL
BE A COST TO THE BOARD, AND WE
DON'T THINK THAT THAT IS
ACTUALLY MINOR OR ABSORBABLE
COSTS. UM, SO UNFORTUNATELY, WE
HAVE TO CONTINUE TO OPPOSE THE

CALL WITH MR MATHIS AND MISS

THANKS. ALL RIGHT, REMEMBER
POPPING YOU'RE HERE TO PRESENT A
B 246.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
UM MAYBE 2 46 TAKES A CRITICAL
STEP TOWARDS PROTECTING WOMEN'S
HEALTH AND REDUCING THE AMOUNT
OF FIFA'S IN THE ENVIRONMENT BY
ELIMINATING THESE HARD SOAPS.
HARMFUL SUBSTANCES FROM
MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS ARE MOST
INTIMATE PRODUCTS. IN A RECENT
STUDY 48% OF PAD PADS AND LINERS
TESTED WERE FOUND TO CONTAIN PFS
AND 22% OF TAMPONS WERE FOUND.
TO CONTAIN PFS. THIS BILL HAS
THREE MAIN COMPONENTS. FIRST IT
WOULD PROHIBIT ANY PERSON IN
CALIFORNIA FROM MANUFACTURING,
DISTRIBUTING OR SELLING A
MENSTRUAL PRODUCT THAT CONTAINS
REGULATED PFS NUMBER TWO. IT
WOULD REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO
PROVIDE A RETAILER WITH A
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE, WHICH
STATES THAT THE PRODUCT DOES NOT
CONTAIN ANY REGULATED PFS.
LASTLY IT WILL PROHIBIT,
UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED PREFACE
ABOVE 10 PARTS PER MILLION
BEGINNING IN 2027. CALIFORNIA'S
PURSUIT FOR GENDER EQUITY
REQUIRES US TO TAKE ACTION AND
ENSURE THAT FEMININE HYGIENE
PROJECTS PRODUCTS ARE SAFE,
CLEAN AND FLEE. FREE FROM
FOREVER CHEMICALS. UM IT HAD
THIS BILL HAS BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
, AS NOTED IN THE OUT ANALYSIS,
THE BILL WILL HAVE MINOR AND
ABSORBABLE COSTS AND WITH ME TO
TESTIFY TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
BILL IS JUST JESSICA GALLAGHER
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF SANITATION
AGENCIES. THERE WE GO. GOOD
MORNING, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
I'M JESSICA GALLAGHER WITH CASA
AS THE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MENTIONED. WE ARE A STRONG
SUPPORTER OF THIS BILL. WE THINK
IT'S A COST EFFECTIVE SOURCE
CONTROL STRATEGY AND WOULD URGE
YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU. IS THERE
ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT
WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT EITHER IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION? THANK
YOU, MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS DAWN
KEPT KI¾M ACCU KEPT KEEP A DRONE
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
MANUFACTURERS AND TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATION. WE HAVE REACHED OUT
TO THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE TO SET UP
TIME TO CHAT ABOUT CONCERNS
BASED ON SOME RECENT AMENDMENTS
AROUND THE 10 PARTS PER MILLION
THRESHOLD, NOTABLY OUR
MANUFACTURERS DO NOT
INTENTIONALLY ADD FAST CHEMICALS
TO THESE PRODUCTS. THERE ARE
CHALLENGES, HOWEVER. IN TERMS OF
THE SUPPLY CHAIN WITH
UNINTENTIONALLY ADDED TRACE
CONTAMINANTS OF TYPHUS. AND SO
AT THAT 10 PARTS PER MILLION.
THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES AT
THAT THRESHOLD. NEVERTHELESS WE
DO LOOK VERY MUCH FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH THE AUTHOR AND
SPONSORS ON ADDRESSING THESE
CONCERNS AND APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION OF THOSE THINGS.
THANK YOU. SEEING NO OTHERS WE
WOULD TURN TO THE COMMITTEE. ANY
COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS TO THE
AUTHOR. IS IT? THERE'S A MOTION
SECOND. WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
THANK YOU. CHAIR I WOULD KNOW
THAT THE INVOLUNTARY INCLUSION
OF FIFA'S DOES NOT TAKE EFFECT
UNTIL 2027 IN AN EFFORT TO
ACCOMMODATE INDUSTRY. UM WOMEN'S
HEALTH MUST BE PRIORITIZED OVER
THE USE OF THESE UNNECESSARY
CHEMICALS. IT'S PAST TIME TO
PROTECT WOMEN IN OUR
ENVIRONMENT, AND I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST AND I VOTE. THANK YOU.
THIS IS ALAN DO PAST REPUBLICANS
NOT VOTING WITH MS DICKSON AND
MISS SANCHEZ VOTING AYE.
CONGRATULATIONS. WE'RE GOING TO
TURN BACK TO THE CONSENT
CALENDAR AND ALLOW MEMBERS TO
ADD ON BRIAN BRIAN. AYE. WENDY
KOREA. WENDY KOREA, AYE. ROBERT
RIVAS SANCHEZ. SANCHEZ, I
WILSON. WILSON. I. OKAY WE'RE
LOOKING FOR TWO AUTHORS GABRIEL
AND BAUER-KAHAN.
THE GABRIEL WELCOME YOU'RE HERE
TO PRESENT ON A B 4 18 AND MAYBE
15 46. ARE YOU TAKING IT FOR?
18? 1ST? WHATEVER ORDER YOU
PREFER. ALRIGHT, LET'S DO 4 18.
OH, YOU BREAK IT, YOU OWN IT.
HOPE THAT DOESN'T AFFECT MY
VOTES. UM SO THANK YOU, MR CHAIR
MEMBERS. A B 14 IS A COMMON
SENSE FOOD FOOD SAFETY MEASURE.
THAT WOULD BAN FIVE CHEMICALS
THAT HAVE STRONG LINKS TO CANCER
TO REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND TO
BEHAVIORAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL
ISSUES IN CHILDREN. ALL FIVE OF
THESE CHEMICALS ARE BANNED IN
THE EUROPEAN UNION. MANY OF THEM
ARE ABANDONED OTHER NATIONS
INCLUDING CANADA, THE UK, BRAZIL
, INDIA, CHINA, SRI LANKA AND
OTHERS. MANY PRIVATE SECTOR
COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY MOVED
AWAY FROM USING THESE CHEMICALS
BECAUSE OF CONCERNS ABOUT HARM
TO HEALTH, PARTICULARLY TO
CHILDREN. SO COKE PEPSI,
GATORADE, PAPA JOHN'S PIZZA,
PANERA, DUNCAN DONUTS, MANY
OTHERS, WHOLE FOODS AND KROGER
WON'T SELL MANY OF THESE FOODS
AND WHAT WE'RE HOPING TO
ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS LEGISLATION
IS NOT TO PULL ANY PRODUCTS OFF
THE SHELF. WE DON'T EXPECT THAT
ANY PRODUCTS WILL COME OFF THE
SHELF. WE SIMPLY WANT TO DO WHAT
WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN IN THE
EUROPEAN UNION AND OTHER PLACES,
WHICH HAS ENCOURAGED THESE
COMPANIES TO MAKE MINOR
MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR RECIPES.
ALL OF THESE INGREDIENTS ARE NON
ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS THERE ARE
READILY AVAILABLE CHEAPER
SUBSTITUTES. THE ANALYSIS FROM
THE HEALTH COMMITTEE NOTED THAT
IN MANY CASES IS THE SUBSTITUTES
FOR THESE INGREDIENTS ARE
ACTUALLY CHEAPER. SO THAT THE
COMPANIES ACTUALLY ABLE TO SAVE
MONEY BY SWITCHING FROM THE
TOXIC INGREDIENTS TO THE NON
TOXIC INGREDIENTS. THE BACKDROP
HERE FOR EVERYBODY TO UNDERSTAND
, UM, IS THAT WE UNFORTUNATELY,
HAVE A BROKEN FDA PROCESS. THIS
WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT I WAS
AWARE OF PRIOR TO ADVOCATES
APPROACHING ME 99% OF THE
CHEMICALS THAT ARE PLACED IN OUR
FOOD SUPPLY HAVE GONE THROUGH
WHAT IS CALLED THE GRASS
LOOPHOLE THE GENERALLY
RECOGNIZED AS SAFE, WHICH WAS
ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED FOR COMMON
HOUSEHOLD ITEMS LIKE SUGAR AND
VINEGAR. AND AS A RESULT, THERE
IS NO MEANINGFUL. INDEPENDENT
FDA REVIEW OF MANY OF THE
CHEMICALS THAT HAVE GONE INTO
OUR FOOD SUPPLY UP TO 99% OF
THOSE, AND TO GIVE YOU A SENSE
OF JUST HOW ABSURD THE FDA
PROCESS HAS BECOME RED DYE
NUMBER THREE, WHICH IS ONE OF
THE CHEMICALS THAT WE ARE
LEARNING LOOKING TO BANNON FOOD
WAS BANNED IN COSMETICS IN 1990,
BECAUSE IT IS CARCINOGENIC.
BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED ABOUT
CANCER IN 1990, THE FDA SAID IT
IS TOO DANGEROUS TO PUT COULD
HAVE PUT COSMETICS INCLUDING RED
DYE THREE ON YOUR FACE, BUT IT
IS STILL ALLOWED IN OUR FOOD
SUPPLY AND IS IN MANY OF THE
PRODUCTS THAT IS TARGETED TO OUR
CHILDREN. SO, UM I GUESS I'LL
SAY THAT WE EXPECT ACTUALLY THAT
THE COST OF THIS, AS YOU HAVE
NOTED, ARE MINOR AND OBSERVABLE
COST TO THE STATE, IF ANY, BUT
WE ALSO EXPECT IT TO BE MINOR
AND OBSERVABLE COST TO EVERYONE.
WE'RE SIMPLY GOING TO ENCOURAGE
THESE COMPANIES TO MAKE MINOR
MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR RECIPES
TO SHIFT TO THE RECIPES THAT
THEY ALREADY USED IN EUROPE. A
NUMBER OF OUR COLLEAGUES WERE
TRAVELING OVER THE RECESS AND
BROUGHT ME BACK BAGS OF SKITTLES
FROM DENMARK AND FROM FRANCE AND
FROM OTHER PLACES TO SHOW ME
THAT THEY STILL MAKE ALL OF
THESE FOODS THAT ALL OF US LOVE
AND ENJOY IN MANY CASES. IS IT
INVOLVES CHANGING ONE INGREDIENT
IN THEIR RECIPE. SO WE EXPECT
THIS TO BE, UH, SOMETHING THAT
WILL HAVE MINOR AND ABSORBABLE
COST TO THE STATE MINOR
OBSERVABLE COST TO THESE
COMPANIES. BUT COULD ACTUALLY
MAKE A REALLY, REALLY BIG
DIFFERENCE IN IMPROVING THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF OUR KIDS.
THERE ARE ABOUT 3000 ADDITIVES
IN FOOD SUPPLY. WE HAVE CHOSEN
FIVE THAT ARE THE WORST OF THE
WORST WHERE THERE IS IRREFUTABLE
STRONG SCIENCE LINKING THEM TO
HARMS TO OUR KIDS, AND SO ON
BEHALF OF ON BEHALF OF THOSE
KIDS WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU. I WILL
TURN TO THE PUBLIC OR ANYONE WHO
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK AND
SUPPORTER AND OPPOSITION SEEING
. NONE WILL COME BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE QUESTIONS BY THE
COMMITTEE. IS THERE A MOTION?
HAPPENED. WE WE APPRECIATE
REALLY THE GREAT WORK. I MEAN,
THIS IS SENSIBLE CONSUMER
PROTECTION TYPE OF LEGISLATION
AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU. AS YOU
MOVE FORWARD. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? JUST RESPECTFULLY
ASKING. I VOTE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THIS IS OUT WITH A DO PASS
B ROLL CALL WITH MS DIXON, NOT
VOTING. AND NOW YOU HAVE 15 46.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MR CHAIR
AND MEMBERS. THIS IS THIS IS A
BILL THAT WOULD ALIGN THE
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. UH, SO
THAT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN
HAVE FIVE YEARS TO BRING A CIVIL
ACTION TO ENFORCE THE CALIFORNIA
CONSUMER PRIVACY. UH PROTECT
PRIVACY ACT, WHICH IS THE SAME
STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS THAT THE
PRIVACY PROTECTION AGENCY HAS TO
BRING IN ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION
UNDER UNDER THE SAME LAW. THIS
IS REALLY THIS BILL IS SPONSORED
BY THE A G, REALLY THE RESULT OF
THE FACT THAT THERE WAS, I THINK
A DRAFTING ERROR IN THE
PROPOSITION THAT CREATED UM,
THAT THE PROP 24 THAT DIDN'T
SPECIFY THAT THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL HAD FIVE YEARS TO BRING
AN ACTION AND SO UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW AND NO, UM, WITH
NO TIME IN WITH NO STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS SPECIFIED A DEFAULT
TO ONE YEAR WHEN YOU'RE IS
SIMPLY NOT NEARLY ENOUGH TIME
FOR THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO
COLLECT K¾T EVIDENCE TO PREPARE
A CASE TO ENFORCE OUR PRIVACY
LAWS, AND WE'RE VERY PROUD TO
HAVE SOME OF THE STRONGEST
PRIVACY LAWS IN THE WORLD HERE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, BUT
IF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN'T
ENFORCE THEM, THEN THEY'RE GOING
TO. THEY'RE GOING TO MEAN
LITTLE, SO THIS WAS SIMPLY ALIGN
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WITH THE
STATUE LIMITATION OF THE PRIVACY
AGENCY. I THINK IT ISN'T IT
COMMON SENSE, SENSIBLE CHANGE
AND WOULD RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR I VOTE. AND MOVED BY MS
WILSON. MS CALDERON. IS THERE
ANYONE IN THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD
LIKE TO COMMENT AND FAVOR OR AN
OPPOSITION? OKAY SCENE AND WE'LL
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.
NO QUESTIONS. GABRIEL, WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE? RESPECTFULLY
REQUESTING I VOTE. OKAY THIS IS
OUT WITH THE DO PASS, BE REAL
CALL. A DELICIOUS BAUER-KAHAN A
B 16 43. THE MICROPHONE. GOOD
MORNING. I'M PROUD TO PRESENT A
B 16 43 A BILL THAT EXPANDS
REHABILITATION OPTIONS FOR YOUTH
IN MERELY RAISES THE RESTITUTION
AMOUNT FROM $1000 TO $5000 TO
MAKE MORE YOUTH ELIGIBLE FOR
THESE PROGRAMS THAT WE KNOW HELP
REDUCE RECIDIVISM AND HELP YOUTH
ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE THE FUTURE
THEY DESERVE WITH THAT. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
IT'S A LONG, TALL SECOND BY MS
CALDERON WILL TURN TO THE PUBLIC
. IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE
TO SPEAK ON THE SPILL EITHER IN
FAVOR OR OPPOSITION? SEE NONE.
UH, THIS BILL IS OUT AS A DO
PASS. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR ON A B
ROLL CALL. CUTE. WE WILL OPEN
THE ROLE. ON THE CONSENT
CALENDAR. ROBERT RIVAS. ROBERT
RUFUS. AYE. HEY THE CONTENT
CALENDAR 16 TO 0. WE WILL NOW
TURN TO PUBLIC COMMENT ON ITEMS
THAT WE'RE NOT TAKEN UP TODAY OR
ON ANY ITEM, BUT CERTAINLY THOSE
WHO WERE HELD ON SUSPENSE OR
PASSED OUT ON ON CONSENT. HEY.
GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIR MEMBERS.
MY NAME IS FRED NOTE WHERE
REPRESENT THE GOLDEN WEST
CHAPTER OF THE LS ASSOCIATION,
BLUE GEHRIG'S DISEASE. AND
WHERE? THE SPONSOR OF ASSEMBLY
BILL 4 TO 4 BY MR BRIAN. IT WAS
SENT TO SUSPENSE EARLIER TODAY.
I JUST SIMPLY WANT TO SAY THAT
ALL THE BILL REALLY DOES IS ADD
A LESS TO THE EXISTING
NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE.
REGISTRY AT THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. THE
REGISTRY ALREADY EXIST, AND
WE'RE SIMPLY ADDING ONE MORE
DISEASE TO IT. WE DON'T THINK
THIS IS A HUGE UNDERTAKING. AND
WILL MEAN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT.
IT WILL PRODUCE IT FROM IN THIS
AMOUNT OF DATA. WHERE THE
RESEARCHERS AND CLINICIANS
TREATING THIS HORRIBLE DISEASE
SO WE HOPE THE BILL CAN MOVE OFF
SUSPENSE LEADER AND THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOUR
COMMENTS. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE
BEFORE US IN TERMS OF ACTION AND
NO COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE,
THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
