AGRICULTURE. FROM A CLIMATE
PERSPECTIVE. COMPOST HELPS
REDUCE THE NEED FOR CHEMICAL
FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES

MOVING ON TO FILE 48 HR 31. THE
CLERK WILL GREEN HOUSE
RESOLUTION 31 BY SOME LIBERAL
JACKSON AND OTHERS. WELL, IT'S
JUST A MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
MONTH. DOCTOR JACKSON, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MADAM SPEAKER. I'M HERE TO
RECOGNIZE HR 31, RECOGNIZING MAY
OF 2023 AS MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS MONTH. DEAR COLLEAGUES
, WE ARE INDEED IN A MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS. THE CALIFORNIA
SECRETARY OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES. STATES THAT MENTAL
HEALTH CONDITIONS AFFECT MORE
THAN HALF OF US PEOPLE OVER
THEIR LIFETIME. AND CONTRIBUTE
TO WORSE OVERALL HEALTH AND RISK
OF DEATH BY SUICIDE. IN
CALIFORNIA. SERIOUS MENTAL
ILLNESS AND SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDERS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON YOUNG ADULTS WITH MOOD
DISORDERS AND SCHIZOPHRENIA AS
THE 1ST AND 3RD LEADING CAUSES
OF HOSPITALIZATIONS
RESPECTFULLY, RESPECTIVELY. FOR
CALIFORNIANS AGE 15 TO 24.
MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS ARE THE
SECOND LEADING CALLS OF YEARS
LIVED WITH DISABILITY FOR
CALIFORNIANS. AND THE LEADING
CAUSE. FOR CHILDREN BETWEEN THE
AGES OF 5 TO 14. EMPHASIZING THE
NEED TO STRENGTHEN PREVENTION.
EARLY IDENTIFICATION AND
COMPASSIONATE CARE. UNTREATED
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS OR
SUBSTANCE USE AND ADDICTION CAN
RESULT IN INJURY AND PREMATURE
DEATH. IN 2021. OVER 4000
CALIFORNIANS DIED BY SUICIDE.
THE OVERALL NUMBER OF SEWAGE
SIDE DEATHS HAS DECREASED. SINCE
2018. HOWEVER WITH SPECIFIC
GROUPS THAT INCLUDE THE BLACK
AND LATINO COMMUNITY. IT IS
AMONG THE TOP TOP FIVE CAUSES OF
DEATH. HOSPITALIZATIONS AND
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. VISITS FOR
MENTAL HEALTH RELATED CONDITIONS
ARE HIGHER AMONG BLACK
INDIVIDUALS THAN FOR ANY OTHER
RACE OR ETHNIC GROUP. STUDIES
SHOW THAT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE HAVE
DISPROPORTIONATELY HIGHER RATES
OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS. SUCH
AS SUICIDE POST TRAUMATIC
STRESS. DISORDER VIOLENCE AND
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. BEFORE
THIS MONTH IN 2023. MENTAL
HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH, THE
THEME ADOPTED BY MANY PRIVATE
AND PUBLIC ORGANIZATIONS IS MORE
THAN ENOUGH. THE NATIONAL
ALLIANCE ON MENTAL ILLNESS
STATES THAT THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US TO
COME TOGETHER AND REMEMBER THE
INHERENT VALUE WE'VE EACH HOLD.
NO MATTER OUR DIAGNOSIS.
APPEARANCE SOCIAL ECONOMIC
STATUS, BACKGROUND OR ABILITY.
WE WANT EVERY PERSON OUT THERE
TO KNOW. THAT IF ALL YOU DID WAS
WAKE UP TODAY, THAT'S MORE THAN
ENOUGH. NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE
INHERENTLY WORTH. MORE. THEN
ENOUGH OF LIFE. LOVE AND
HEALING. SHOWING UP. JUST AS YOU
ARE. FOR YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE
AROUND YOU IS MORE THAN ENOUGH.
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES SPAN A
BROAD RANGE OF CONDITIONS.
DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY OR
CONDITIONS. MANY PEOPLE ARE
DEALING WITH SOME FOR THE FIRST
TIME. SO IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING
ANY OF THESE TALK WITH YOUR
PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN. IT IS
ALSO IMPORTANT TO TALK TO
FRIENDS AND FAMILY. IF YOU HAVE
CONCERNS NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO
DEAL WITH IT ALONE. AND AS
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE. WE
ARE NO DIFFERENT. NONE OF US
SHOULD DEAL WITH THIS ALONE.
WHILE THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT
NEW, THEY ARE COMING IN WAVES
WITH UNPRECEDENTED FORCE. AND
IT'S ACCURATE ACUITY. THAT OUR
HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS HAVE BECOME
OVERBURDENED AND UNDER MUCH
STRESS. THIS IS THE CRISIS WE
MUST ADDRESS TOGETHER. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU, DR JACKSON
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PELLERIN, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. MADAM
SPEAKER REMEMBERS AND THANK YOU
TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM MARINO
VALLEY FOR INTRODUCING THIS
IMPORTANT RESOLUTION. AS VICE
CHAIR OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
CALIFORNIA'S MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS. I RISE TODAY IN SUPPORT
OF HR 31, WHICH PROCLAIMS MAY
2023 AS MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS
MONTH. MY FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS.
HAS BEEN PROFOUNDLY IMPACTED BY
MENTAL ILLNESS, SO I KNOW
FIRSTHAND THAT NAVIGATING
RESOURCES FOR MENTAL HEALTH CARE
CAN BE DAUNTING. MY PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE OF IDENTIFYING THE
RIGHT COUNSELORS, TREATMENT
FACILITIES AND FINDING OUT HOW
TO PAY FOR IT ALL IS VERY
OVERWHELMING. ON TOP OF THIS THE
STIGMA AGAINST PEOPLE FACING
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES MADE IT
DIFFICULT TO SEEK MUCH NEEDED
SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
I AM HERE AS AN ADVOCATE FOR
MENTAL HEALTH AND TO RECOGNIZE
THAT OUR STATE OF OUR MENTAL
HEALTH IS A PUBLIC HEALTH
CRISIS. THERE IS A LACK OF
PARITY WITH PHYSICAL HEALTH
CARE, SHORTAGE OF TRAINED
COUNSELORS, DEFICIENCY OF
RESOURCES, INSUFFICIENT NUMBER
OF BED FACILITIES. ABSENCE OF
MOBILE MENTAL HEALTH CARE TO
NAME JUST A FEW OF THE
CHALLENGES WE HAVE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. MOREOVER IN THE
MIDST OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC
DISRUPTIONS IN DAILY ROUTINES,
INCLUDING SCHOOL CLOSURES,
SOCIAL ISOLATION, FAMILY
ECONOMIC HARDSHIP, FAMILY LOST
THEIR ILLNESS AND REDUCED ACCESS
TO HEALTHCARE INTENSIFY THE
MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS OF
MILLIONS. OUR STATES. 988 SYSTEM
IS A GOOD STEP TOWARD IMPROVING
ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS, PROVIDING THOSE WHO
SUFFER WITH SOMEONE TO CALL OR
TEXT. BUT WE STILL NEED TO WORK
ON SOMEONE TO COME AND SOMEWHERE
TO GO. I'VE ASKED OUR ASSEMBLY
RULES COMMITTEE TO POST THE 988
NUMBER AND ALL PUBLIC RESTROOMS
HERE IN THE CAPITAL BECAUSE I
BELIEVE IT'S CRITICAL FOR PEOPLE
TO KNOW ABOUT THIS SERVICE AND
TO KNOW THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE
IN THEIR MENTAL HEALTH
STRUGGLES. TODAY AFTER THE
REOPENING OF THE STATE, MILLIONS
OF INDIVIDUALS ACROSS CALIFORNIA
AND AROUND THE GLOBE ARE STILL
GRIEVING THE DEATHS AND
ILLNESSES OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY
AS PART OF THE AFTERMATH OF THE
PANDEMIC. WE KNOW THAT
SEPARATELY FROM THE PANDEMIC,
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES IMPACT ALL
OF US AND SURPASS AGE, GENDER
CLASS AND AGE. I'M HEARING
CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS TWO YEARS
OLD, ARE SUFFERING WITH MENTAL
HEALTH CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION
TO THE COVID IMPACTS ON MENTAL
HEALTH, TODAY'S WORLD OF GUN
VIOLENCE, BULLYING SOCIAL MEDIA
IMPACTS CLIMATE CHANGE, RACIAL
DISPARITIES AND LGBTQ
DISCRIMINATION AND DIVISION HAD
MADE MANY OF US FEEL ISOLATED
AND DEPRESSED. IT IS MY HOPE
THAT IN SUPPORTING THIS HOUSE
RESOLUTION, WE JOINED TOGETHER
AND RECOGNIZING THE SERIOUSNESS
OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES, TAKING
ACTION TO EXPAND ACCESS TO
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, BUT ALSO
IN REDUCING THE STIGMA AGAINST
SEEKING HELP BY COMING OUT IN
FULL, NONJUDGMENTAL SUPPORT,
APPEARS FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO
ARE IN CRISIS. SO THAT THEY MAY
MORE EASILY FIND THE RESOURCES
THEY NEED. MY OFFICE PROVIDED TO
EACH OF YOU WITH A MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS POSTER BRACELET, WHICH
I'M WEARING TODAY AND STICKERS
SO YOU CAN HELP US IN PROMOTING
MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR ALL. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PELLERIN
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WHILE DURING
YOU RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF HR 31
RECOGNIZING MAY AS MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS MONTH IN CALIFORNIA.
AS A MEMBER OF BOTH THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON CALIFORNIA'S MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS AND THE BICAMERAL
MENTAL HEALTH CAUCUS. I AM VERY
PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS TOPIC AND
WHAT WE CAN DO TO ADDRESS THE
ROOT CAUSES OF THIS CRISIS AND
IN THE STIGMA AROUND IT. EARLY
TREATMENT AND REDUCING STIGMA
ARE KEY TO ADDRESSING THE MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS. LACK OF WORKFORCE
LACK OF AVAILABLE BEDS. PEER
SUPPORT AND LIMITED HEALTH
COVERAGE. ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR
STUMBLING BLOCKS IN ADDRESSING
THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER FROM
MARINO VALLEY. FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP ON THIS TOPIC AND AS
THE CHAIR OF THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON CALIFORNIA'S MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS. THANK YOU AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT ON HR 31. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WALDRON. SEEING
AND HEARING NO OTHERS WISHING TO
COMMENT ON THIS, DR JACKSON,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK
YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MADAM
SPEAKER. YOU KNOW, UM I AM MY
OWN FAMILY HAVE NOT BEEN IMMUNE
TO THIS CRISIS. HAVING LOST AN
UNCLE TO SCHIZOPHRENIA,
ADDICTION AND HOMELESSNESS. AND
A BROTHER ON THE STREETS OF
CALIFORNIA AS WE SPEAK AS HE
SUFFERS FROM BIPOLAR DISORDER
AND ADDICTION. AND MYSELF HAVING
SUFFERED FROM ANXIETY.
ADDRESSING THIS CRISIS AND
PROVIDING HEALING TO ALL THOSE
IN NEED IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
CHALLENGES OF THIS BODY. AND
PERHAPS ONE OF THE VERY TOP FOR
THIS GENERATION. THIS
LEGISLATURE HAS ALREADY DONE
GREAT WORK TO INCREASE ACCESS
FOR THOSE IN NEED. AND I KNOW WE
CAN DO MORE TO MEET THIS
CRITICAL MOMENT. I KNOW WE ARE
RETHINKING HOW TO MODERNIZE OUR
MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM AND BETTER
TREAT THOSE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS,
SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. AND THE
TENS AND THOUSANDS SUFFERING
FROM HOMELESSNESS, ESPECIALLY
OUR VETERANS. BUT I AM EXCITED
TO SHARE IN THIS EFFORT. FOR WE
KNOW THAT WAYS OF THE PAST HAVE
NOT BEEN THE SOLUTION OF THE
PRESENT. AND CANNOT BE THE
PATHWAYS TOWARDS THE FUTURE. BUT
UNFORTUNATELY IF WE ASK
OURSELVES THE QUESTION IF WE ARE
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN DO TO
STABILIZE OUR POPULATION AND
IMPROVE THE MENTAL HEALTH OF OUR
FELLOW RESIDENTS. UNFORTUNATELY
THE ANSWER IS NO. WE CAN DO
MORE. AND WE MUST DO MORE. MAY
WE TAKE THIS MONTH TO RAISE
AWARENESS HIGHLIGHT AND DISCUSS
MENTAL HEALTH? TO THE
STIGMATIZES CONDITION TO ADDRESS
THIS IMPACTS AND THE HILL AND TO
PUSH EVEN HARDER. TO MEET THIS
MOMENT WE TOGETHER. ARE MORE
THAN ENOUGH TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE
AND FOR THE FIRST ROLE TO BE
OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS. THANK YOU,
DR JACKSON, THE CLERK WILL OPEN
THE RAW FOR CO AUTHORS. MEMBERS
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE TO VOTE
MEMBERS. THIS IS FOR CO AUTHORS,
ALL MEMBERS WHO DESIRE TO VOTE
VOTE. ALL MEMBERS WHO DESIRED TO
VOTE VOTE. THE CLERK WILL CLOSE
THE ROLE. WE HAVE 66 CO AUTHORS
WITHOUT OBJECTION. WE WILL NOW
TAKE A VOICE VOTE ON THE
RESOLUTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
SAY, AYE. OPPOSING NO, THE EYES
HAVE IT. THE RESOLUTION AS
ADOPTED, MR JACKSON, DR JACKSON,
WOULD YOU LIKE DO YOU RECOGNIZE
FOR YOUR GUEST INTRODUCTIONS?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MADAM
SPEAKER MEMBERS WITH US TODAY IN
THE GALLERY IS MARA JAMES,
FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE
EXTRAORDINARY LIVE FOUNDATION
AND HER ASSOCIATE, HANNAH
NAUSEAM. THE EXTRAORDINARY LIFE
FOUNDATION IS A NONPROFIT
WORKING TO IMPROVE CHILDREN, UH
, AND TO GIVE THEM THE TOOLS TO
ADDRESS THEIR OWN MENTAL
ILLNESSES. AH PLEASE RECOGNIZE
OUR GUESTS AS THEY STAND HERE IN
THE GALLERY
.
WE'LL PASS AND RETAIN FILE ITEM
EIGHT AND NINE. MOVING TO FILE
ITEM NUMBER 10 A B 56, THE CLERK
WILL READ THE BILL 56 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LACKEY AND
OTHERS INACCURATE INTO VICTIMS
COMPENSATION AND MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION THEREFORE, MR
LACKEY, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES. I'M PLEASED TO
PRESENT A B 56 WHICH EXPANDS
VICTIMS CUP. I'M SORRY. VICTIMS
COMPENSATION FOR EMOTIONAL
INJURIES SUSTAINED THROUGH
SURVIVING SPECIFIED CRIMES. THIS
LEGISLATION WILL PROVIDE VICTIMS
OF VIOLENT CRIME WITH
COMPENSATION TO MAKE THERAPIES
AND OTHER FORMS OF CARE MORE
ACCESSIBLE WHILE THEY NAVIGATE
THEIR TRAUMA RECOVERY PROCESS.
PREVALENT PSYCHOLOGICAL INJURY
FOR VICTIMS SURVIVORS AS POST
TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDERS WE'VE
ALL HEARD EACH CASE OF PTSD IS
UNIQUE, GIVEN A SURVIVOR'S
HISTORY AND CIRCUMSTANCE. THE
SEVERITY OF THESE FACTORS COULD
PROLONG THE LENGTH OF A RECOVERY
PERIOD. THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE
NEED TO ADDRESS TRAUMA AS
PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO IT CAN
LEAD TO SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES. A
LACK OF ACCESS TO CARE COULD BE
INFLUENTIAL IN THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS AND
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES. BY
PROVIDING VICTIM SURVIVOR WITH
COMPENSATION. WE VALIDATE THEIR
PAIN AND SUFFERING WHILE
COVERING EXPENSES THEY INCURRED
THROUGH NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. A
B 56 PRIORITIZES ADDRESSING
TRAUMA WITHIN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM
, WHICH IMPROVES OUTCOMES FOR
EVERYONE INVOLVED. IT WOULD
EXPEDITE SERVICES FOR HEALING
TOXIC STRESS, WHICH WOULD HAVE A
LONG TERM BENEFIT TO OUR SHARED
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BY LIMITING
THE POSSIBILITY OF ISSUES
MANIFESTING LATER. AS REORIENT
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. WE
SHOULD LOOK TO IMPLEMENT TRUMP
INFORMED POLICY WHEREVER
POSSIBLE, AND I BELIEVE THIS IS
AN IMPACTFUL STEP IN THAT
DIRECTION. I ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
LACKING SEEING AND HEARING NOTE
FURTHER DEBATE. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO I'M SORRY, MR BRYANT. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT OF A
B 56. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE. FROM THE ANTELOPE
VALLEY FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD. THERE IS A NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE VICTIM'S
COMPENSATION FUND EXPANDS TO
COVER ALL THE NEEDS THAT VICTIMS
ARE GOING TO HAVE. THIS IS ONE
OF THOSE BILLS THAT TAKES US A
STEP FURTHER. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR I VOTE. NOW SEEING AND
HEARING NO OTHERS WISHING TO
COMMENT ON THIS BILL. MR LUCKY
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROAD. HIS ROAD TO

ASSEMBLY BILL 11 04 BIAS. LET ME
REMEMBER PONTA AND ACTUALLY IN
THE CORRECTIONS AND
REHABILITATION. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MONTE. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. GOOD
MORNING AND THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS IN 2016. THE
STATE DIRECTED CDCR TO UPDATE
ITS MISSION AND MOVE AWAY FROM
PUNISHMENT AND TOWARDS
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. HOWEVER
THERE IS A DISCONNECT BETWEEN
HOW CDCR VIEWS AND STATES
INCARCERATION. MISSION AND HOW
THE PENAL CODE VIEWS
INCARCERATION. A B 11 OH, FOUR
ELIMINATES THIS DISCONNECT BY
DOING TWO THINGS FIRST CLARIFIES
THAT ONCE A PERSON HAS BEEN
SENTENCED TO A TERM OF
INCARCERATION, THE PUNISHMENT
GOAL OF SENTENCING IS SATISFIED
, MEANING THAT A PERSON'S
INCARCERATION ALONE IS
PUNISHMENT. SECOND CLARIFIES
THAT THE PURPOSE OF
INCARCERATION IS REHABILITATION
AND PREPARING FOR REENTRY AND
HIGHLIGHTS THE CRITICAL ROLE.
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE AND PROVIDING THIS TYPE OF
PROGRAMMING SIMPLY PUT A B 11
OH, FOUR PUTS THE ARE BACK INTO
CDCR. THIS BILL HAS NO
OPPOSITION AND NO, NO VOTES. I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I
VOTE.
SEEING IT. MR PATTERSON, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
. MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE. UH,
WHETHER OR NOT HOW PEOPLE FEEL
ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF PRISON TO
BE. AH REHABILITATION. THE
REALITY IS RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU
ENTER PRISON BECAUSE OF NEW
REGULATIONS UNDER PROPOSITION 57
, WHICH BY THE WAY WERE ADOPTED
IN 2021 WITH NO IN PERSON.
PUBLIC INPUT. YOU GET YOUR
RELEASE DATE. THE SECOND, YOU
ENTER PRISON AND IN FOR MOST
CRIMES, IT'S 50% OFF YOUR
SENTENCE. AND SO IF WE'RE GOING
TO PROVIDE REHABILITATION IN
THIS STATE, THEN WE ACTUALLY
HAVE TO PROVIDE REHABILITATION.
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING
RIGHT NOW. AND SO BECAUSE OF
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THIS
MEASURE. MR SALIH, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER ALSO RISING OPPOSITION.
I THINK WE NEED TO RECONSIDER.
THE PURPOSE AND PRIORITIES OF
PRISON. OUR FAILED CRIMINAL
JUSTICE REFORMS, WHICH FOCUS ON
PURELY OR PRIMARILY REHAB IT
REHABILITATING OFFENDERS IS NOT
WORKING. WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT
SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT CAPABLE OF
REHABILITATION. I'VE HAD TWO
POLICE OFFICERS SHOT AND KILLED
IN MY DISTRICT. THIS SESSION.
WHEN YOU SHOOT A POLICE OFFICER
IN THE FACE. I DON'T WANT TO
REHABILITATE YOU. I WANT TO LOCK
YOU UP SO YOU CAN NEVER DO THAT
AGAIN. PUNISHMENT IS AN
ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF OUR PENAL
CODE SYSTEM. THE PENAL CODE IS
INTENDED TO BE PUNITIVE AND WHEN
YOU COMMIT A CRIME, AND YOU
VIOLATE THE RULES OF SOCIETY,
YOU SHOULD AND MUST BE PUNISHED
. IF THEN WE CAN REHABILITATE
YOU. I'M ALL FOR IT. WE CANNOT
REMOVE PUNISHMENT FROM THE
EQUATION. AND WITH THAT, I URGE
A NO VOTE TO THIS AND I ASKED
THAT WE HAVE A CONVERSATION OF
HOW TO BALANCE PUNISHMENT AND
REHABILITATION BUT NOT REMOVE
PUNISHMENT FROM THE EQUATION.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR SILLY,
MR BRIAN. YOU RECOGNIZE THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER COLLEAGUES
THAT DESPITE THE INFLAMMATORY
RHETORIC THAT WE'VE HEARD ON
THIS FLOOR. ALREADY THERE IS A
MISALIGNMENT BETWEEN WHAT THE
PENAL CODE SAYS THE DEFINITION
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
IS AND WHAT CDCR LITERALLY SAYS

THIS BODY WHO HAS REPRESENTED
CRIMINALS IN COURT. AND I DO
BELIEVE IN PUNISHMENT. I DO
BELIEVE FREEDOM SHOULD BE TAKEN
AWAY WHEN SOMEBODY COMMITS A
CRIME. I ALSO BELIEVE IN
HUMANITY. AND I BELIEVE THAT
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO CAN AND
WANT THE HELP THAT WE SHOULD BE
ABLE TO GIVE THEM. WHEN THEY GO
INTO PRISON AND SPENT TIME IN
OUR CARE. AND THEN THEY LEAVE
AND THEY WERE SYNOVATE. WHICH BY
THE WAY, MEANS MORE CRIME IN OUR
COMMUNITIES. WHICH MAKES US LESS
SAFE. WE HAVE FAILED. WE HAVE
FAILED OUR COMMUNITIES BECAUSE
PEOPLE WILL REENTER AND IF WE DO
NOT REHABILITATE THEM THAN OUR
CRIME RATES JUST GO UP AND UP
AND UP. AND RIGHT NOW, AT THIS
MOMENT WHEN OUR COMMUNITY IS ONE
OF THE HILL SAFE, ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO.
IS MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE
OUR CUSTODY DO NOT LEAVE. AND
REOFFEND, AND THAT IS WHAT THE
AUTHOR IS ASKING OF EACH AND
EVERY ONE OF US IS THAT WE DO
WHAT IS IN OUR POWER TO MAKE OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFER TO ENSURE THAT
THOSE WHO WANT A SECOND CHANCE
AND COULD HAVE A SECOND CHANCE.
GET THE HELP THEY NEED WHILE
THEY'RE IN OUR CUSTODY AND THEY
GET OUT. AND THEY BECOME GOOD
NEIGHBORS AGAIN BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US
SHOULD WANT. AND WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.

VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC. TODAY I
PRESENT A B 301 A BILL THAT
ALLOWS THE COURT TO CONSIDER THE
ACQUISITION OF BODY ARMOR WHEN
ISSUING A GUN VIOLENCE
RESTRAINING ORDER. BODY ARMOR
HAS BECOME THE GO TO ACCESSORY
FOR MASS SHOOTERS. ENABLING THEM
TO PROLONG THEIR ATTACKS AGAINST
OUR COMMUNITIES AND MAKING IT
HARDER FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT TO DO
THEIR JOB. ACCORDING TO THE
VIOLENCE PROJECT, 21, MASS
SHOOTERS HAVE WORN BODY ARMOR
DURING THEIR ATTACKS, INCLUDING
RECENT MASS SHOOTINGS IN BUFFALO
AS WELL AS HERE IN SAN
BERNARDINO BODY ARMOR ALONE MAY
NOT BE INDICATIVE OF VIOLENCE,
BUT IT IS HIGHLY RELEVANT OF A
PERSON IS ALSO PURCHASED GUN OR
AMMUNITION WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF
THE GVR REQUEST BEING FILED.
ACQUISITION AND BODY ARMOR IS A
SIGNAL THAT A PERSON ANTICIPATES
REQUIRING PROTECTION FROM
BULLETS WHEN COMBINED WITH
RECENT RECENT THREATS OF VIOLENT
BEHAVIOR, THIS ACQUISITION CAN
BE IMPORTANT INDICATOR OF
INCREASED RISK TO OUR
COMMUNITIES. WITH THAT? I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE.

WEEK IN CALIFORNIA.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S QUICK STORY YOU
WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
TODAY. I RISE. TO PRESENT A CR
29, WHICH RECOGNIZE MAY EIGHT
THROUGH 12 AS STUDENT MENTAL
HEALTH WEEK. EARLIER TODAY WE
HEARD FROM MY COLLEAGUES FROM
MARINO VALLEY AND SANTA CRUZ ON
MENTAL HEALTH. THIS RESOLUTION
FOCUSES ON STUDENT MENTAL
HEALTH. I WANT TO THANK THE CO
SPONSORS OF THIS RESOLUTION, THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL
COUNSELORS AND THE CALIPER FOR
NYA ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL
WORKERS FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND
COMMITMENT TO STUDENTS AND THEIR
MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS. MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES AMONG THE YOUTH
ARE GROWING CONCERNS WITH
STUDIES SHOWING ONE IN FIVE
YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING SOME
FORM OF MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES
, SUCH AS ANXIETY. DEPRESSION
AND TRAUMA. AS A TEACHER FOR
OVER 30 YEARS I SAW FIRSTHAND
THAT MANY OF OUR FAMILIES ARE
STRUGGLING. WE KNOW THAT TODAY
FOR STUDENTS, THEY ARE GROWING
UP IN A MUCH DIFFERENT WORLD
THAN THE WORLD THAT MANY OF US
GREW UP. WE KNOW THAT OUR
STUDENTS ARE SPENDING MANY HOURS
ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WHICH IN TURN
HAS RESULTED IN SOME SEVERE
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. WE KNOW
OUR STUDENTS. ARE GETTING
TRAINED. AT THEIR SCHOOL SITES.
ON ACTIVE GUN SHOOTING DRILLS.
WE KNOW THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE
HEARING AND SOMETIMES EVEN
EXPOSED TO MASS SHOOTINGS
THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES.
AND EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN A VICTIM,
THEY HEAR AND READ ABOUT IT
ALMOST DAILY. WE ALSO KNOW THAT
THEY'RE ENDURING A CRISIS OF OUR
TIME. THE FENTANYL CRISIS WITH
NOT ONLY KNOWING INDIVIDUALS
THAT MAY HAVE DIED ON THEIR
CAMPUSES. AND THEN, OF COURSE,
OUR STUDENTS HAVE LIVED THROUGH
THE PANDEMIC, AND MANY OF OUR
STUDENTS LOST LOVED ONES DURING
THAT PANDEMIC. THESE ARE ALL
CRISIS IS BUT EVEN CRISIS IS
THAT HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE DAY
THAT WE DON'T EVEN PUT AT THE
TOP OF THE LIST LIKE STUDENTS
GOING THROUGH A FAMILY DIVORCE.
THESE ARE ISSUES THAT AFFECT OUR
STUDENTS. AND WE KNOW THAT OUR
STUDENTS STRUGGLE. WE KNOW THAT
THEY'RE DEPRESSED. THEY HAVE
ANXIETY AND THEY NEED HELP. AND
IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS
EDUCATORS AS PARENTS AS TEACHERS
AS ADMINISTRATORS TO STEP UP TO
THE CALL FOR ACTION IN OUR
SOCIAL WORKERS AND SCHOOL
COUNSELORS ARE DOING THAT. BUT
THIS MUST BE COMMUNITY BASED,
AND WE NEED SUPPORT THROUGHOUT
OUR COMMUNITY TECHNOLOGY THAT
STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH SHOULD BE
AS IMPORTANT AS THEIR PHYSICAL
HEALTH. WITH THAT? I ASKED FOR
AN I VOTE ON A CR 29. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S QUIRK-SILVA. DR
JACKSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MADAM
SPEAKER. UM THE MEMBER FROM
FULLERTON IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
UM AND, UM THIS WEEK. UM IT'S SO
IMPORTANT TO ENSURING THAT WE
PUT A HIGH SPOTLIGHT. ON THE
POPULATION THAT IS THE MOST IN A
CRISIS. AND ALL OF OUR
DISTRICTS. RIGHT NOW. AS YOUNG
PEOPLE ARE SITTING IN THEIR
CLASSROOMS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS
OF YOUNG PEOPLE SUFFERING IN
SILENCE. I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE ONES THAT GET SENT TO THE
PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE. I'M NOT
TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHO GET
SUSPENDED OR EXPELLED. I'M
TALKING ABOUT THE ONES WHO SIT
IN THE BACK. AND DISAPPEAR. AND
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT THEY'RE
GOING THROUGH. MEDIUM BUT MANY
OF THEM WERE SUICIDAL IDEATIONS.
AND AT SOME POINT WE HAVE TO ASK
OURSELVES. OUR COMMUNITIES HAVE
FUNDAMENTALLY BEGUN TO SHIFT IN
NEEDS. THEN AT ONE POINT DO WE
HAVE THE COURAGE TO ENSURE THAT
OUR INSTITUTIONS SHIFT AS WELL.
AND THAT INCLUDES OUR SCHOOLS.
THE BEST WAY TO SERVE AND HELP
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IS TO MAKING
SURE THAT WE TRANSFORM OUR
SCHOOLS TO MEET THEIR NEEDS OF
ALL KINDS. AND SO IT IS MY HOPE
THAT AS WE CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS
TO SERVE OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AH,
THAT WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT
TAKES. TO MAKING SURE THAT WE
SAVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE
CHILDREN'S LIVES. AND ACT WITH
THE URGENCY. THAT WE DID WITH
HOMELESSNESS. AND ACT WITH THE
URGENCY. LIKE WE DID WITH COVID
19. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY
VOTE. THANK YOU, DR JACKSON
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WHILE DURING
YOU RECOGNIZE THANK YOU, MADAM

EARLY INTERVENTION FROM MENTAL
HEALTH IS CRITICAL FOR OUR
STUDENTS. SCIENCE IS CONFIRMING
THAT EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND EARLY
TREATMENT CAN PREVENT FURTHER
CRISIS. IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR
US TO THANK THE SCHOOL
COUNSELORS, SOCIAL WORKERS AND
PSYCHOLOGISTS THAT ADDRESS
STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH EARLY AND
REDUCE THE STIGMA AROUND IT. I
HAVE WORKED FOR MANY YEARS IN
THE MENTAL HEALTH SPACE, AND I
KNOW THAT THERE'S MUCH MORE TO

AFFLICTS MANY OF OUR FELLOW
CALIFORNIANS WHO HAVE BEEN

DISPROPORTIONAL ARE
INAPPROPRIATELY TREATING A
MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION. TARDIVE
DYSKINESIA, ALSO KNOWN AS TD. MY
RESOLUTION A R 19 RECOGNIZES THE
FIRST WEEK OF MAY AS PART OF
THIS KINSEY AWARENESS WEEK. IN

PEOPLE LIVE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS
, THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR
MENTAL ILLNESS REPORTS ONE IN
EVERY FOUR PATIENTS RECEIVING

AND 70% OF THOSE LIVING WITH TD
HAVE YET TO BE DIAGNOSED. TODAY
IS A MOVEMENT DISORDER
CHARACTERIZED BY UNCONTROLLABLE
, ABNORMAL, REPETITIVE MOVEMENTS
OF THE TORSO, EXTREMITIES AND OR
FACE. IT'S OFTEN SEEN AS LIPS,
JAW, TONGUE AND EYES. IT CAN
ALSO AFFECT OTHER PARTS OF THE
BODY, INCLUDING THE UPPER BODY,
THE ARMS, THE HANDS, THE LEGS
AND THE FEET. IT'S ESTIMATED
THAT OVER 600,000 AMERICANS
SUFFER FROM TARGET TO SKIN. ZIA
DESPITE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
IMPACTED BY THE CONDITION, TD
REMAINS LARGELY UNKNOWN HOVER
FOR PATIENTS LIVING WITH TD,
THEIR FAMILIES AND THEIR

72 BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ALVAREZ
AND OTHERS AND ACCOLADES AND
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKS.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ALVAREZ, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS THAT IRAS TO
RISE TO PRESENT A B 14 72. THIS
IS AN IDEA THAT CAME FROM MY
DISTRICT BECAUSE INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES ARE BEING IMPACTED BY
AN UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICE
KNOWN AS THE RV SHUFFLE. I
RECOMMEND THAT YOU LISTEN TO
WHAT THE RV SHUFFLE IS BECAUSE
IT MIGHT BE HAPPENING IN YOUR
DISTRICT AS WELL. THE RV SHUFFLE
INVOLVES EVICTING AND RELOCATING
TENANTS FROM THEIR RVS FROM AN
AUTHORIZED RV PARK, USUALLY FOR
A PERIOD OF ABOUT TWO DAYS FOR
THE 48 HOURS EVERY SIX MONTHS.
TO AVOID THAT THOSE RESIDENTS
ARE THOSE TENANTS GAINED CERTAIN
TENDENCY, STATUS AND PROTECTIONS
THAT COME WITH IT. THIS PRACTICE
IS IMPACTING MY CONSTITUENTS.
LIKE I SAID, LIKELY CONSTITUENTS
IN YOUR DISTRICT, MANY OF WHOM
ARE USUALLY ELDERLY ADULTS OR
INDIVIDUALS ON FIXED INCOMES,
WHO HAVE RESORTED TO RV LIVING
AS THE ONLY PLACE THAT THEY CAN
AFFORD TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA.
THE RV SHUFFLE FORCES THESE
RESIDENTS TO PAY FOR HOTEL
ACCOMMODATIONS AND RELOCATE
THEIR RV DURING A PERIOD OF
USUALLY AGAIN 48 HOURS JUST SO
THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE RECITING
THAT SAME RV PARK FROM WHICH
THEY WERE EVICTED. THESE ARE
UNNECESSARY COST AND COST THAT
MANY OF THESE IMPACTED FAMILIES
CANNOT AFFORD FOR MOST CASES.
HOWEVER THIS PROCESS IS REPEATED
AGAIN AND AGAIN ALL THE TIME,
RESULTING IN A PERSISTENT
DISLOCATION OF VULNERABLE
POPULATIONS AND CAUSING
FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS. MAYBE 14 70
TO ENSURE THAT RESIDENTS THAT
ARE LIVING WITHOUT THE FEAR
INTIMIDATION OF BEING FORCED TO
RELOCATE. THE NEED FOR THIS BILL
IS VITAL. WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT
AND PROTECT THAT THESE
VULNERABLE TENANTS, ESPECIALLY
AT THE TIME WHEN THE STATE IS IN
DIRE NEED OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
BE PROTECTED. WE SHOULD NOT BE
EVICTING RESIDENTS WHO HAVE
FOUND SUITABLE SHELTER AND ARE
ABLE TO ABIDE BY ALL THE OTHER
RULES, INCLUDING PAYING THEIR
MONTHLY RENT ON TIME. FOR THAT
REASON, I ASKED THREE I VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU.

B 16 43 A BILL THAT EXPANDS
REHABILITATION OPTIONS FOR YOUTH
YOUTH WHO COMMIT LOW LEVEL
NONVIOLENT OFFENSES HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE DIVERSION
THROUGH THE JUVENILE PROBATION
DEPARTMENT. WE KNOW THAT WHEN
JUVENILES GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HAVE THESE DIVERSION
OPPORTUNITIES AND REHABILITATING
THEIR COMMUNITIES, THEIR FUTURES
ARE BRIGHTER. CURRENTLY THEIR
RESTITUTION CANNOT EXCEED $1000
FOR THEM TO BE ELIGIBLE. THIS
WOULD RAISE THAT WE HAVE NOT
DONE SO IN MANY DECADES, IT
WOULD RAISE IT TO $5000 GIVING
MORE YOUTH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
THIS AMAZING PROGRAM WITH THAT.
