THE BILL IS OUT ON THE B ROLL
CALL WITH DIXON. NOT BUILDING.
MAYBE 12 66. THANK YOU. A B 12
66 ADDRESSES THE DISPARATE
PUNISHMENT OF LOW INCOME PEOPLE
THAT HAS DONE LITTLE TO FURTHER
PUBLIC SAFETY BY PROHIBITING
BENCH WARRANTS FROM BEING ISSUED
IF THE UNDERLYING CHARGES AN
INFRACTION. EACH YEAR, THREE
MILLION LOW LEVEL INFRACTIONS
ARE PROCESSED IN CALIFORNIA
COURTS, MANY OF WHICH INCLUDE
TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS THAT ARE
PUNISHABLE BY A FINE AND DO NOT
REQUIRE A COURT APPEARANCE.
DESPITE RECENT REFORMS, JUDGES
CAN STILL ISSUE BENCH WARRANTS
FOR ARREST IN CASES WHERE A
PERSON FAILS TO APPEAR IN COURT.
OR PAY A CITATION, ARRESTING A
PERSON UNABLE TO PAY A FINE NOT
ONLY FURTHER DRIVES THEM INTO
POVERTY, BUT CAN HAVE ADVERSE
IMPACTS ON THEIR ABILITY TO
SECURE HOUSING, EMPLOYMENT AND
HIGHER EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES.
AS NOTED IN THE ANALYSIS BY
ELIMINATING THIS DISCRIMINATORY
PRACTICE, THIS BILL COULD RESULT
IN LONG TERM COST SAVINGS BY
REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
INCARCERATED FOR AN INFRACTION.
THERE WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE
PUNISHABLE BY JAIL TIME IN THE
FIRST PLACE. A B 12 66 IS THE
NEXT STEP IN ENDING THE DEBTOR'S
PRISON WILL ENSURE INDIVIDUALS
ARE NOT PUNISHED OR DOES
ESSENTIALLY A CRIME OF POVERTY
HERE TO TESTIFY AND SUPPORTERS.
DANICA ROEDER MILL ON BEHALF OF
THE LAWYERS COMMITTEE FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS, THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
AREA WELCOME. THANK YOU. GOOD
MORNING, CHAIR AND MEMBERS
LAWYERS COMMITTEE FOR CIVIL
RIGHTS IS A PROUD CO SPONSOR OF
A B 12 66, AS MENTIONED BY THE
MEMBER AND THE ANALYSIS. THESE
ARE VERY LOW LEVEL OFFENSES. I
JUST WANTED TO GIVE SOME
EXAMPLES OF WHAT SOME
INFRACTIONS ARE VENDING WITHOUT
A PERMIT. LITTERING WALKING A
DOG WITHOUT A LEASH SITTING IN
PUBLIC. THESE ARE OBVIOUSLY VERY
LOW LEVEL ACTIONS THAT SHOULD
NEVER RESULT IN SOMEBODY GOING
TO JAIL. THE HIGHEST FINE FOR AN
INFRACTION IS $250. AND THE IDEA
THAT SENDING SOMEBODY TO JAIL
MAKES IT MORE LIKELY THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO PAY. THAT
AMOUNT IS ABSURD. SO YOU'RE I
VOTE? THANK YOU APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
EXISTING LAW EMPOWERS THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL TO BRING SUIT
FOR A VIOLATION OF STATE HOUSING
LAW AND ALSO ALLOWS THIRD
PARTIES TO FILE LAWSUITS TO
ENFORCE STATE HOUSING LAW. BUT
UNDER CURRENT LAW WHEN A THIRD
PARTY FILES A LAWSUIT RELATED TO
THE ENFORCEMENT OF STATE HOUSING
LAWS, THEIR ATTORNEY GENERAL'S
OFFICE CAN ONLY BECOME A PARTY
TO THE LAWSUIT BY PETITIONING
THE COURT TO INTERVENE. THIS
PROCEDURAL HURDLE DELAYS HOUSING
FROM BEING BUILT BECAUSE THE
COURTS CAN TAKE MONTHS TO
SCHEDULE A HEARING ON THE
PETITION, EVEN ONCE A COURT
HEARING IS SCHEDULED THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ABILITY TO
INTERVENE IN THE CASES THE
COURTS AS AT THE COURT'S
DISCRETION. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO
ENFORCE STATE HOUSING LAWS AND
REPRESENT THE STATE'S INTEREST
IN HOUSING CASES. REGARDLESS OF
WHO FILES THE ACTION FIRST.

OBSERVABLE COST TO THE STATE AND

31 TODAY, OR WATER
APPROPRIATIONS PERMITS BEFORE
WATER BOARDS THAT HAVEN'T HAD A
FINAL DETERMINATION IN 30 YEARS
. MAYBE 16 31 WILL CREATE A NEW
OPPORTUNITY TO PROTEST UNLESS
THE BOARD HOLDS A HEARING,
ALLOWING ADDITIONAL PUBLIC
PARTICIPATION IN PRESENTATION.
THE WATER BOARD HAS INDICATED
THAT IT WILL HAVE MINOR AND
ABSORBABLE COSTS. THE
LEGISLATURE HAS MODIFIED THE
BILL IN PRIOR YEARS TO WHAT IT
IS BEFORE YOU TODAY TO ENSURE
ITS RIGHT SIZE AND THE SCOPE OF
PERMITS THAT MEET THE PROVISIONS
OF THE BILL TODAY AND THOSE THAT
MAY AFFECT IN THE FUTURE. AS WE
KNOW, 30 YEARS, A LOT CAN CHANGE
THE CITY OF SANTA CLARA TO WHICH
IS NOW THE THIRD LARGEST CITY IN
LOS ANGELES, WAS ONLY THREE
YEARS OLD AT THAT TIME. SO WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
MEMBERS FROM THE PUBLIC. THEY
WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK, COME
FORWARD. MR CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
SCOTT GOVERNOR BEHALF OF CENEX,
WE'D SUGGEST THE STATE WATER
RESOURCE CONTROL BOARD REREAD
THE BILL. IT ACTUALLY APPLIES TO
50 APPLICATIONS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY PENDING. SO THE IDEA
OF MINOR ABSORBABLE COSTS IS
INCORRECT. THERE ARE ALSO A
DOZEN PROJECTS THAT ARE QUICKLY
FALL UNDER THE BILL. UH THE REAL
PROBLEM HERE IS THAT IT'S TAKING
THE STATE WATER RESOURCE CONTROL
BOARD. 30 YEARS TO APPROVE
PROJECTS, WHICH IS NOT GOOD FOR
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST TO NO VOTE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SEE NO ONE
ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD
LIKE TO SPEAK. ANY COMMENTS FROM
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. IS
THERE A MOTION. MEMBER WILSON.

MAKES GOOD GOVERNANCE CHANGES IN
THE SP 3 75 PROCESS BY REQUIRING
CARBS AT REGIONAL GHD TARGETS
FOR 2035 2045. THE BILL ALSO
ADDS CONCRETE TIMELINES FOR
EMBRYOS TO SUBMIT TECHNICAL
METHODOLOGY AND THE SCS ITSELF
AFTER ADOPTION TO CARB. IN
ADDITION, A B SIX REQUIRES
RATHER THAN ENCOURAGES MPS TO
WORK WITH CARB AS CARB REVIEWS
AND APPROVES THE TECHNICAL
METHODOLOGY. I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE COMMENTS MADE IN
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS THAT
THESE CHANGES INTO LAW SEEMED
LIKE QUOTE, GOOD IDEAS AND
QUOTE. AND ALSO TO HIGHLIGHT
THAT THE THAT A RB ANTICIPATES
MINOR COST TO COMPLY AND
SIMILARLY LOW COST FOR MPS AS
WELL. TESTIFYING AND SUPPORT

BEHALF OF CIVIC WELL POLICY
DIRECTOR THERE. THIS BILL REALLY
BUILDS ON SB 3 75 BY THEN
SENATOR DARRELL STEINBERG AND
HELPS MOVE US IN THE DIRECTION
OF REDUCING G G H G EMISSIONS
AND VM T. IT'S ESSENTIAL TO
BECAUSE 40% AS MOST OF YOU KNOW,
NOT ALL OF, YOU KNOW. OF OUR GHG
EMISSIONS ARE COMING FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION SECTOR. MINOR
COST HAS NOTED. AND SO WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THE BILL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. AND WE WILL
ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS A FORMER
MEMBER. SO WELCOME BACK. THANK
YOU. ANY MEMBER FROM THE PUBLIC
THEY WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT ON
THE BILL. NONE. COMMITTEE. IS
THERE A COMMENT OR IS THERE A
MOTION TO BE MADE? LOWENTHAL
WILSON. THE BILL IS OUT ON B
ROLL CALL. MAYBE 13 99. THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS. THIS
BILL SIMPLY ALLOWS FOR VETS TO
USE TELEHEALTH IF THEY FEEL IT'S
APPROPRIATE TO GIVE VETERINARY
CARE. WE DID THIS DURING COVID,
AND THE RESULT WAS THAT A LOT
MORE PEOPLE ENDED UP USING
VETERINARY CARE THAN OTHERWISE
BECAUSE THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
CAN'T GO TO A VET IN PERSON FOR
HEALTH REASONS FOR, UM, THE THEY
MIGHT LIVE TOO FAR AWAY FROM A
BED IN THIS OPENS UP ACCESS.
IT'S NOT MANDATORY FOR VETS THEY
CAN DECIDE, AND IT'S ALSO
LIMITED TO BETS ARE LICENSED
WITHIN CALIFORNIA. I WOULD
REQUEST AN AYE. VOTE. THANK YOU.
I DO HAVE WITNESSES TESTIFYING
IN SUPPORT. BRITTANY BENTZ I
WITH THE ASPCA AND JENNIFER
FEARING ON BEHALF OF THE SAN
DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY. WELCOME.
LET'S PROCEED. GOOD MORNING
CHAIR HOLDEN AND MEMBERS
BRITTANY, TENNESSEE ON BEHALF OF
THE S P. C A. WE'RE REQUESTING
YOUR SUPPORT FOR 13 99 TODAY
BECAUSE THE COST OF THE BILL IS
NOTABLY LOW. ALL THE COSTS OF
INACTION IS HIGH AND INCREASING.
CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY HAS SOME OF
THE MOST RESTRICTIVE REGULATIONS
REGARDING VETERINARY TELEHEALTH
IN THE COUNTRY, WHILE OTHER
STATES INCLUDING IDAHO, NEW
JERSEY, VIRGINIA, AND AS OF
YESTERDAY, ARIZONA ALLOW FOR A V
C P R TO BE ESTABLISHED VIA
VIDEO. THERE'S NOT BEEN A SINGLE
REPORTED HARM RELATED TO THE USE
OF VETERINARY TELEHEALTH AND ONE
OUT OF THREE PETS IN THE COUNTRY
ARE ALREADY ALREADY DO NOT SEE A
VETERINARIAN ON A REGULAR BASIS.
EXPANDING ACCESS TO TELEHEALTH
WILL EXPAND ACCESS TO CARE FOR
ALL, INCLUDING THOSE IN UNDER
RESOURCED OR ON OR REMOTE AREAS
, THOSE WITH TRANSPORTATION OR
MOBILITY ISSUES. THOSE ANIMALS
WHO BECOME STRESSED SIMPLY BY
GOING TO THE VET AS WELL AS
THOSE CURRENTLY WAITING FOR
WEEKS, IF NOT LONGER TO BE SEEN
WHILE THEIR CONDITIONS WORSEN.
WE WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FRIEDMAN AND
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LOWENTHAL FOR
RECOGNIZING THIS KEY OPPORTUNITY
AND TO ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BRIAN
FOR HIS CO AUTHORSHIP. WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.
JENNIFER FEARING FOR A B 13 99
CO SPONSORS SAN DIEGO HUMANE
SOCIETY, ONE OF THE STATE'S
LARGEST ANIMAL SHELTERING
ORGANIZATIONS THAT EMPLOYS MORE
THAN TWO DOZEN LICENSE
CALIFORNIA VETERINARIANS,
INCLUDING OUR CEO, MAYBE 13 99
ADDS OPTIONAL TOOLS TO THE
LICENSED VETERINARIANS. TOOLKIT
DOES NOT DIMINISH THEIR LEGAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE THE
BEST STANDARD OF CARE FOR THEIR
CLIENTS AND PATIENTS AND
INCLUDES NUMEROUS SAFEGUARDS TO
ENSURE INFORMED CONSENT, THE
OPTION TO BE SEEN IN PERSON AND
LIMITS ON PRESCRIPTIONS. WE ARE
VERY HAPPY TO CONTINUE ENGAGING
WITH THE VETERINARY MEDICAL
BOARD AND THE VETERINARY MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION TO CONSIDER
ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS THAT WOULD
MAKE THEM MORE COMFORTABLE. WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WELCOME. GOOD MORNING SILVIO FOR
ON BEHALF OF THE VIRTUAL
VETERINARY CARE ASSOCIATION AND
SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING, BARBARA
SCHMITZ. I'M THE ANIMAL WELFARE
ADVOCACY COUNCIL FOR THE SAN
FRANCISCO SPC. A. WE'RE IN
SUPPORT. KARIN LANG ON THE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA ANIMAL
WELFARE ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS
CALIFORNIA'S 200 PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE SHELTERS, ALONG WITH THE
HUMAN SOCIETY, THE UNITED STATES
AND SUPPORT THIS MORNING. THANK
YOU. GOOD MORNING, NICHOLAS
SOCKET FOR SOCIAL COMPASSION IN
LEGISLATION IN SUPPORT. GOOD
MORNING, MR CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
CRISTINA DICARO, REPRESENTING
BOTH THE AMERICAN VETERINARY
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE
CALIFORNIA VETERINARY MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION IN STRONG OPPOSITION
TO THE BILL ON BOTH POLICY AND
FISCAL GROUNDS ON THE FISCAL
ISSUE, WE WERE FRANKLY SURPRISED
TO SEE THAT THE VETERINARY
MEDICAL BOARD WHO IS ALSO
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL, ONLY FLAG
$16,000 IN COSTS FOR THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THE REGULATORY
PACKAGE. AND FELT ENFORCEMENT
COSTS WERE NEGLIGIBLE. EVEN
THOUGH THE VM BE REMARKS THAT
THEY CAN ANTICIPATE SOME
VIOLATIONS OF NEW PROVISIONS. WE
THINK THE ENFORCEMENT COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE BILL COULD
BE SUBSTANTIAL, ONE OF THE MAJOR
DRIVERS BEHIND THIS BILL ARE
MAJOR OUT OF STATE TELEMEDICINE
APP COMPANIES LIKE CHEWY AND
DUTCH, IF THE VM B HAS TO
INVESTIGATE CONSUMER HARM
COMPLAINTS AGAINST VETERINARIANS
WORKING FOR THOSE LARGE OUT OF
STATE APP COMPANIES. THAT'S
GOING TO BE A SIGNIFICANT
WORKLOAD FOR THE VM B AND
MEDICAL RECORDS ARE GOING TO BE
HARD TO OBTAIN THOSE
INVESTIGATIVE COSTS,
UNFORTUNATELY, WILL BE PASSED
DOWN TO THE VETERINARIANS AND
THE R VT LICENSES. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. SEE NO
ONE ELSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO
SPEAK. BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE. DR WEBBER. GOOD
MORNING. THANK YOU. QUESTION UM,
I KNOW, UM, ESTABLISHMENT OF
RELATIONSHIPS WITH, UH, WITH
PETS OR ANIMALS IS DIFFERENT
THAN WITH ACTUAL HUMAN. SO IS
THERE ANY THOUGHT OR ANY
PROVISION THAT AT LEAST THE
INITIAL VISIT? BE IN PERSON.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. WHAT
WE LEARNED FROM COVID. WHEN THIS
WAS THIS WAS ALLOWABLE DURING
COVID FOR ONE THING FOR A NUMBER
OF YEARS. UM IT DID. DID IT
RESULT IN MORE PEOPLE WHO
WOULDN'T HAVE GONE TO THE VET
OTHERWISE TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS
VETERINARY CARE? THERE ARE MANY
, MANY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN
THE STATE WHO JUST NEVER BRING
THEIR ANIMAL TO THE VET BECAUSE
OF COSTS BECAUSE OF PHYSICAL
DISABILITY AND OTHERWISE. SO
WHILE WE WOULD CERTAINLY PREFER
THAT EVERYBODY DO PROBABLY EVERY
VISIT IN PERSON, ESPECIALLY THE
FIRST ONE. WE DID NOT SEE ANY
HARM FROM THIS PRACTICE AND A
VETERAN OF VET COULD CERTAINLY
TAKE A LOOK AND SAY YOU REALLY
NEED TO BRING THIS ANIMAL IN AND
WE WOULD EXPECT THAT IN CASES
WHERE IT'S NOT A SIMPLE
DIAGNOSIS. SIMPLE TREATMENT.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
, BUT WE WERE REAL. THIS IS
REALLY A QUESTION OF ACCESS AND
THE FACT THAT OTHER STATES THAT
HAVE DONE THIS HAVE NOT REPORTED
ANY HARM. FROM FROM THE ABILITY
TO DO THIS AT US, TRUSTING THE
VETS TO MAKE THE DETERMINATION
OF WHETHER THEY CAN OR CANNOT
GIVE A GIVE ADVICE OVER, UM OVER
THE ZOOM. SO ARE THERE OTHER
STATES THAT DO THIS? NOT BECAUSE
THEY IMPLEMENTED BECAUSE OF
COVID. BUT THEY WERE DOING THIS
PRE COVID. YES DIFFERENT STATES
HAVE DONE THIS PRE COVID THE
STATES THAT I LISTED VIRGINIA,
NEW JERSEY, IDAHO AND THE
ARIZONA LEGISLATURE JUST PASSED
A BILL THAT WAS SIGNED BY THE
GOVERNOR YESTERDAY, ALLOWING
THIS POST COVID. NO, NO, NO. MY
QUESTION IS, WERE ANY OF THESE
BEING DONE? PRE COVID? YES, I
CAN, UH FIND THAT LIST AND GET
IT BACK TO YOU. I KNOW SOME OF
THOSE STATES HAVE HAD CHANGED.
POST COVID, BUT WE'LL GET BACK
TO YOU ON THAT. OKAY AND THEN
FOR THOSE WHO WERE DOING IT, PRE
COVID. ARE THERE ANY GUARDRAILS
OR UM, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICS
AROUND WHO COULDN'T DO IT AND
YOU KNOW WHEN THEY CAN UTILIZE
TELEMEDICINE IN THIS WAY.
GUARDRAILS INCLUDE PRESCRIPTION
DURATION REQUIREMENTS, WHICH WE
INCLUDED IN IN 13 99, AND THE
REQUIREMENT THAT THE
VETERINARIAN BE LICENSED IN THAT
STATE AND FOLLOW THE FOLLOW THE
GUIDELINES OF THAT STATE BOARD.
OKAY THANK YOU. SO I WILL BE
SUPPORTING IT TO LET IT GO OUT
OF COMMITTEE TODAY. IT IS A
LITTLE CONCERNING TO ME THAT THE
AMERICAN VETERINARIAN MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION AS OPPOSED TO THIS
BILL, UM IT WOULD BE KIND OF
LIKE THE CALIFORNIA MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION BEING OPPOSED TO
TELEMEDICINE BILL, SO I AM GOING
TO LET IT GO OUT TODAY, BUT JUST
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THIS AND
DECIDE HOW AL VOTE ON THE FLOOR.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER
COMMENTS FROM MEMBERS. THEY'RE
NOT AS THEIR EMOTION. LONG TALL
IS HIS SECOND. PHªN GOES OUT ON
A ROLL CALL. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. QUIRK-SILVA WAS I'M SO
SORRY. SQUARE CRYSTAL
QUIRK-SILVA. YOU HAVE ACTUALLY
TWO BILLS A B 11, 87 AND 13 32
FOR CARILLO. MHM. BOTH ENJOY DO
PASS. GOOD MORNING, MR CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. ADVERSE CHILDHOOD
EXPERIENCES ARE WELL DOCUMENTED
AND WELL AND ARE LINKED TO
NEGATIVE OUTCOMES INTO ADULTHOOD
, INCLUDING PTSD. REPEATING
PATTERNS OF VIOLENCE, CHRONIC
HEALTH PROBLEMS, MENTAL ILLNESS
AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE. CHILDREN
WHO SURVIVED CHILD ABUSE AND
NEGLECT OR WITNESS FAMILY
VIOLENCE OR HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER
DIED BY SUICIDE SHOULD RECEIVE
REFERRALS FOR SUPPORT AND
THERAPEUTIC. GRIEF FOCUSED
INTERVENTIONS FROM HIGHLY
SKILLED AND TRAINED
PROFESSIONALS SUCH AS CERTIFIED
CHILD LIFE SPECIALISTS.
CERTIFIED CHILD LIFE SPECIALIST
, PROVIDE CARE AND INNOVATE
NATIONS THAT ARE FAMILY CENTERED
EVIDENCE BASE TRAUMA INFORMED IN
DEVELOPMENTALLY AND
PSYCHOLOGICALLY APPROPRIATE.
THEY ARE WELL TRAINED TO PROVIDE
GRIEF IN CRISIS INTERVENTIONS
FOR FAMILY MEMBERS OF ALL AGES
AND THE FACE OF TRAGEDY. AS WAS
MENTIONED THIS WEEK RELATED TO
MENTAL HEALTH WEEK AND STUDENT
MENTAL HEALTH WEEK. WE KNOW THAT
OUR FAMILIES ARE ENDURING MUCH
MORE TRAUMA THAN EVER BEFORE.
UNFORTUNATELY THE CALIFORNIA
VICTIM COMPENSATION BOARD
CURRENTLY DOES NOT INCLUDE
CERTIFIED CHILD LIFE SPECIALIST
ON THE LIST OF AUTHORIZED MENTAL
HEALTH TREATMENT PROVIDERS AND
THEREFORE VALUABLE SERVICES
PROVIDED BY A CERTIFIED CHILD
LIFE SPECIALIST IS NOT
REIMBURSABLE FROM THE VICTIMS OF
CRIME PROGRAM. CALIFORNIA HAS A
WORKFORCE SHORTAGE OF MENTAL AND
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH PROVIDERS. A B
11 87 INCLUDES SERVICES PROVIDED
CHILD VICTIM OF CRIME BY A
CERTIFIED LIFE SPECIALISTS WHO
WAS SUPERVISED AGAIN UNDERLINED
SUPERVISED BY A LICENSE PROVIDER
AND THEREFORE REIMBURSABLE BY
THE CALIFORNIA VICTIMS OF CRIME
PROGRAM. MAYBE 11 87 HAS NO
OPPOSITION WITH ME TODAY TO
TESTIFY AND SUPPORT. IS MR DAN
FELICES AUTO SPECIAL ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY WITH THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. WELCOME.
DETERMINED MEMBERS STANFEL BAFTA
LOS ANGELS COUNTY DISTRICT
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. UM NOTHING IN
A B 11 87 EXPANDS THE TYPES OR
NUMBERS OF VICTIMS ELIGIBLE FOR
SERVICE REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE
VICTIMS OF CRIME PROGRAM. IT'S
SIMPLY ALLOWS A CERTIFIED CHILD
LIFE SPECIALISTS TO SEEK
REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES
PROVIDED TO OTHERWISE ELIGIBLE
VICTIMS. I AGREE, AND MY OFFICE
AGREES WITH THE ANALYSIS THAT
THE COST WOULD BE MINOR AND
ABSORBABLE TO THE BOARD, AND WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR THANK
YOU. RETURN TO THE PUBLIC ANY
COMMENT FROM THE PUBLIC ON THIS
BILL? GOODBYE, PELLERIN. SECOND
BY LOWENTHAL. BILL IS OUT WITH
REPUBLICANS NOT VOTING. THANK
YOU. NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PRESENT
13 32 ON BEHALF OF UM MR
CARILLO? YES. AGAIN GOOD MORNING
, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS. THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 13 32 ON BEHALF OF
SOME ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JUAN
CARILLO. MAYBE 13 32 WILL SPEED
UP THE PROCESS AND LOWER THE
COST OF BUILDING ACCESSORY
DWELLING UNITS BY REQUIRING
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO KEEP A
CATALOG PRE A FEW PREAPPROVED
BIÂU PLANS ON THEIR WEBSITE.
INTERJECT HERE THAT MANY CITIES
ARE ALREADY DOING THIS. I KNOW
FOR SURE. I BELIEVE IN
ENCINITAS. THEY JUST HAVE
PLANNED READY. UH, ALREADY
AVAILABLE BY HAVING ACCESS TO A
CATALOG OF PRE APPROVED PLANS.
HOMEOWNERS WILL NOT ONLY SAVE
TIME AND MONEY IT WILL PROVIDE
MUCH NEEDED CLARITY TO FAMILIES
THAT OTHERWISE MIGHT THINK.
BUILDING AN A D YOU ON THEIR
PROPERTY IS TOO ABSTRACT AND OUT
OF REACH. THE GOAL IS TO REDUCE
COSTS FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO
INSTEAD OF REQUIRING A LOCAL
GOVERNMENT TO DO THE HARD WORK
OF DESIGNING AND THEY DO A D YOU
THIS BILL ALLOWS THEM TO PUT A D
U. S. THEY HAVE ALREADY APPROVED
FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO USE THIS
APPROACH MAKES IT EASIER FOR
THEM TO REVIEW THESE PROJECTS.
FURTHERMORE EXISTING LAW PERMITS
LOCAL GOVERNMENT TO RECUPERATE A
D U PERMITTING, PERMITTING FEES,
MAKING IT REVENUE NEUTRAL. IN
THE LONG TERM. THIS IS AN
EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO MORE WITH
LESS IN THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.
THANK YOU. NO WITNESSES ON THIS
ONE WILL TURN TO THE PUBLIC. ARE
THERE ANY COMMENTS? S¼. NONE
WERE VERY BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.

BONTA. WE'RE PROUD TO SPONSOR
THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE JOINT
AUTHORED BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WILSON AND HEART AND THANK
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THE DETAILED
ANALYSIS. HAVE YOU HEARD THE
AUTHOR DESCRIBED IN DETAIL? THIS
IS A PREDATORY PRACTICE EMPLOYED
BY SOME REALTY COMPANIES TO
ABUSE, EXCLUSIVE LISTING
AGREEMENTS AND AN ANTI

INCREASINGLY HARMING CONSUMERS
AND OTHER REALTY COMPANIES TO
COMPETE FOR BUSINESS FAIRLY ON
BEHALF OF E G. BONTA WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR VOTE,
AND I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY

THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING, MR

OFFICE AND WE THINK THEY'RE

12 18. YOU HAVE A DO PATH? UH
THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
A B 12 18 PROVIDES NEEDED
CLARITY TO ENSURE THAT THE
REPLACEMENT HOUSING AND
RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PROVISION
OF SB 3 30, THE HOUSING CRISIS
ACT ARE IMPLEMENTED BELOW AND
CAN ACHIEVE THEIR INTENDED
IMPACT. THIS BILL HAS MINOR AND
ABSORBABLE COST TO THE STATE.
AYE. I THOUGHT I HAD A WITNESS
HERE BUT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT.
I DO SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE. SEE HOW MUCH FASTER
IT GOES WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE A
WITNESS. I WILL TURN TO THE
PUBLIC. IS THERE ANYONE FROM THE
PUBLICLY THAT WOULD LIKE TO
COMMENT? S¼ NONE WILL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. WE HAVE
EMOTION. THERE'S NO OTHER
COMMENTS AND THANK YOU FOR
SHOWING UP. YOUR TESTIMONY IS
NOT NECESSARY. ZELDA ON A ROLL
CALL. HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TWO BILLS
, MAYBE 754 AND 7 55. BOTH ENJOY
DO PASS. GOOD MORNING, MR TURING
COMMITTEE. I'LL START WITH 754.
A B 754 WILL REQUIRE URBAN AND
AGRICULTURAL WATER SUPPLIERS WHO
RELY ON RESERVOIRS TO INITIATE
DEMANDS DIED. CONSERVATION WHEN
WATER LEVELS DROP TOO LOW.
CURRENT LAW REQUIRES WATER
SUPPLIERS DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT
WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY PLANS
. HOWEVER, THESE PLANS ONLY
TRIGGER WHEN TOTAL WATER SUPPLY
IS SHORT CALIFORNIA RESERVOIRS
PLAY, UM, AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN
OUR CONSERVATION AND IN THE
STATES WATER SUPPLY AND ARE
INCREASINGLY MORE ESSENTIAL FOR
MANAGING ECOSYSTEMS AS
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO RISE IN
ORDER TO ADAPT TO EXTREME
TEMPERATURES AND INCREASING
DROUGHT SEVERITY, A B 754 WILL
REQUIRE EXISTING CONSERVATION
ACTIONS TO BE INITIATED EARLIER.
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES ANTICIPATES THAT THESE
WILL BE MINIMAL COST FOR FIVE
YEARS ATTRIBUTED JUST BASICALLY
TO GUIDANCE AND TO TRAINING. AND
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL IS CODY
PHILLIPS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA COAST KEEPERS
ALLIANCE. WELCOME. GOOD MORNING.
UM. WATER SHORTAGE. CONTINGENCY
PLANS ARE REACTIVE. THEY ONLY
TRIGGERED WHEN DEMAND OUTSTRIPS
SUPPLY AND ACTIVATING THESE
PLANS CAN BE A MURKY AND
POLITICAL PROCESS. JUST AS ONE
EXAMPLE, UM ONE CITY LAST YEAR
SUBMITTED TO WATER SUPPLY
ASSESSMENT IN JULY, SAYING THEY
WERE FINE ON WATER ANTICIPATED
NO WATER SHORTAGES ONLY FOR THE
CITY TO ANNOUNCE A FEW MONTHS
LATER THAT IT WOULD BE OUT OF
WATER BY DECEMBER, LARGELY
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T TRIGGER
THEIR WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY
PLAN AND THIS CAUSED THE
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES
$1.2 MILLION TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE
SUPPLY FOR THAT CITY. UM MAYBE 7
54 REQUIRES THESE WATER
SUPPLIERS TO TAKE. ACTUAL
FORECASTS ARE TAKE THEIR
FORECAST, COMPARE THEM TO ACTUAL
RESERVOIR LEVELS AND AT THE
RESERVOIR LEVELS FALL BELOW
FORECASTS, THEN TRIGGER THOSE
PREPLANNED SHORTAGE ACTIONS,
WHICH ARE ALREADY PART OF THE
WATER SHORTAGE CONTINGENCY
PLANS. THIS HAS A WIDE RANGE OF
BENEFITS FOR WATER SUPPLY, WATER
QUALITY AND ECOLOGY. THANK YOU.
TURNED TO THE PUBLIC. IS THERE
ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS, SAYING NONE
WILL BRING IT BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE? ANY COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE OR EMOTION TO BE MADE?
AND SECONDED THIS CALDERON. THE
BILL IS OUT IN THE B ROLL CALL.
THANK YOU. OKAY AND MOVING ON
TO, UM ASSEMBLY BILL 755 ESTATE
IN THE ANALYSIS ASSEMBLY BILL
755 WILL HAVE NO IMPACT TO STATE
COSTS. IT REQUIRES PUBLIC
UTILITIES DETERMINE HOW MAJOR
MAJOR WATER USERS AFFECT SYSTEM
WIDE COSTS. THIS ANALYSIS WILL
SERVE AS AN ITTY FOUNDATION FOR
A MORE FAIR AND EQUITABLE RATE
STRUCTURE, IDENTIFYING HOW MAJOR
WATER USERS HAVE DRIVEN SYSTEM
EXPENSES WILL SHINE AN IMPORTANT
LIGHT ON THE ROOT CAUSE OF
RISING COSTS OF WATER. THE
MAXIMUM AND DEMAND FOR WATER IS
OFTEN DRIVEN BY A FLUENT SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENCES THAT ARE
NOTORIOUS FOR USING EXCESSIVE
AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR OUTDOOR
IRRIGATION. AND WHILE THOSE WITH
SMALLER METERS PAPER FORTUNATELY
LESS BASED ON METER SIZE IF THEY
HAVE NO NEED FOR THE NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE, THERE'S
SUBSIDIZING THE COST OF WATER
FOR THOSE THAT DO WITH ME TODAY
IS CODY PHILLIPS FROM COAST
KEEPERS ALLIANCE. GOOD MORNING
AGAIN, UM, GENERALLY FOR MANY
UTILITIES, PEKING COSTS ARE
CONSIDERED A FIXED WATER SYSTEM
COSTS, WHICH MEANS THEY ARE
PRICED THROUGH THE METER AND NOT
BY WATER USE. AS A RESULT, EVERY
CUSTOMER THE SAME METER SIZE,
REGARDLESS OF ACTUAL WATER, USE
OR NEED AN EQUALLY SHARING THE
COST OF NEW INFRASTRUCTURE
PURCHASED TO MEET ABOVE AVERAGE
DEMAND BY ONLY A HANDFUL OF
USERS. THOSE THAT CAN SERVE OR
HAVE MEDIA SIZES THAT ARE LARGER
THAN THEY ACTUALLY NEED. THIS IS
A SERIOUS EQUITY CONCERN. A B 7
55 REQUIRES PUBLIC UTILITIES TO
TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS CONCERN
AND ADD THAT ANALYSIS TO THE
COST OF SERVICE ANALYSIS. THANK
YOU. WELL ANY MEMBER FROM THE
PUBLIC THEY WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK
TO THIS BILL. WE'LL BRING IT
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. LUZ RIVAS
SECOND CALDERON. BILL IS OUT ON
A B ROLL CALL. THANK YOU. CHAIR.
YOU'RE WELCOME. AND WE'RE GOING
TO ASK FOR A FEW AUTHORS IF THEY
CAN MAKE IT HERE. OH, YOU ARE
OKAY. OKAY? ABOUT BAUER-KAHAN.
SO DR WEBBER WILL BE PRESENTING
FOR ABOUT BAUER-KAHAN A B 254
AND A B 5 21. BOTH ENJOY DO
PASS. GOOD MORNING AND THANK
YOU. CHAIR AND MEMBERS PRESENT A
B 254 ON BEHALF OF
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S REBECCA BERG BY
BAUER-KAHAN THE COMMON SENSE
MEASURE TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH INFORMATION BY EXTENDING
THE SAFEGUARDS OF C M I A AND
HIPAA TO COLLECT DATA ON THE
PHONE APPLICATIONS AS
CALIFORNIANS CONTINUED TO
DOWNLOAD PHONE APPLICATIONS FOR
THEIR HEALTH. THESE APPS OFFER
LITTLE WAY IN THE PROTECTION FOR
THAT DATA WITH OBSCURE PRIVACY
POLICIES AND LITTLE MEANINGFUL
REGULATION. MAYBE 254 PROTECTS
ITS DATA BY ADDING C M I A
PROTECTIONS TO REPRODUCTIVE
SEXUAL HEALTH INFORMATION
COLLECTED BY DIGITAL SERVICES AT
NO COST TO THE STATE
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE
INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE SOLD.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
I VOTE ON A B 254. AND MOVED AND

RESTROOM ACCESS ON JOB SITES.
MAYBE 5 TO 1 SIMPLY ASKED HOW
OSHA TO REVISIT ITS STANDARDS
FOR WESTERN REQUIREMENTS ON
CONSTRUCTION SITES TO ENSURE
THAT THERE ARE SEPARATE
FACILITIES FOR WOMEN WORKING
THERE. THIS WILL PROTECT WOMEN
IN THE TRADES FROM THE HEALTH
RISK AND INTIMIDATION THEY NOW
FACE VIA RESTROOM ACCESS. THE
COST OF THE DEPARTMENT ARE LOW
AND WOULD BE EASILY MADE UP BY
THE BENEFITS OF MAKING JOB SITES
MORE ACCESSIBLE, THUS INCREASING
MORE WOMEN IN THE TRADES. THIS
BILL HAS NO OPPOSITION AND I

GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING,
MADAM VICE CHAIR, MR CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. UH PLEASED TO
JOIN YOU THIS MORNING TO PRESENT
A B 10 27. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
BILLS MOVING THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE. UH, AIMED AT
KEEPING OUR KIDS AND COMMUNITIES
SAFE ONLINE. MAYBE 10 27 IS A
NARROW MEASURE THAT WAS CRAFTED
AFTER INPUT. FROM STAKEHOLDERS
ACROSS LAW ENFORCEMENT, THE TECH
INDUSTRY AND MORE. UM THE BILL
SIMPLY REQUIRES LARGE SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORMS THAT OPERATE IN
CALIFORNIA TO DISCLOSE ON THEIR
WEBSITE. A DESCRIPTION OF
POLICIES REGARDING RETENTION OF
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION BY
ADDING THIS ADDITIONAL POLICY
STATEMENT 2010 27 WILL PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL CLARITY TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. WELL
HOPEFULLY ACCESS TO SOME
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT
COULD BE USEFUL TO INVESTIGATE
CRIMES, INCLUDING THAT'S RELATED
TO ONLINE PENSION ALL SALES.
PLEASED TO BE JOINED BY DYLAN
HOFFMAN WITH TECHNET, UH AND, UH
. THANK YOU. I DON'T HOFFMAN ON
BEHALF OF TACNA, AND WE ARE
PROUD TO SUPPORT A B 10 27. WE
THINK IT'S A COMMON SENSE
MEASURE TO ENSURE THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND LOCAL
PROSECUTORS ARE ABLE TO FILE
PRESERVATION REQUESTS AND
WARRANTS FOR VITAL INFORMATION
THAT WILL HELP IN PROSECUTING
DRUG DEALERS THAT ARE SELLING
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ON OUR
SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. UM HAS
NO COST TO THE STATE.
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. POPPING OR EMOTION
AND A SECOND BY MR REVIS, AND,
UM, IT DOES ENJOY A DO PASS BACK
TO THE PUBLIC 30 COMMENTS IN
SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION. THANK
YOU. THIS IS OUT ON A ROLL CALL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR RIVAS
YOU'RE GOING TO BE PRESENTING
FROM THIS WEEK'S THANK YOU.
THIS IS A B 14 65 46 5. THANK
YOU, MADAM VICE CHAIR AND
COLLEAGUES HALF OF
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WICKS. UH
LEGISLATION A B 14 65 TRIPLES
THE CIVIL PENALTY SEALING FOR
AIR QUALITY VIOLATIONS THAT ARE
CORRECT REFINERIES. THE
DISCHARGE CONTAINS ONE OR MORE
TOXIC AIR CONTAMINANTS. THE
CONSEQUENCES FOR AIR QUALITY
VIOLATIONS MUST BE SEVERE ENOUGH
TO DETER THE DISCHARGES BEFORE
THEY OCCUR SO THAT REFINERIES
DON'T SIMPLY TREAT FINES AS THE
COST OF DOING BUSINESS, STAY
COSTS OR MINOR MINOR AND IT'S AN
ABSORBABLE AND ON BEHALF OF
SEVERAL MEMBER SHE CERTAINLY
WOULD, UH, RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
MY VOTE AND WITH ME HERE TO
TESTIFY AND SUPPORTERS, ALLEN
ABS WITH THE BAY AREA AIR
QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT.
GOOD MORNING CHAIR. HOLDEN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, ALLEN
EBBS, THE LEGISLATIVE OFFICER
WITH BAY AREA AIR QUALITY
MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND SPONSOR
OF HB 14 65 WHEN AN AIR DISTRICT
ISSUES AND AIR QUALITY PERMIT
AND A BUSINESS ACCEPTS THAT
PERMIT, BUT THEN VIOLATES ITS
REQUIREMENTS. THE HEALTH AND
SAFETY CODE PROVIDES GUIDELINES
FOR PENALTIES TO ENSURE THAT THE
VIOLATIONS ARE APPROPRIATELY
PENALIZED AND ARE NOT JUST THE
COST OF DOING BUSINESS. A B 14
65 REVISES THESE PENALTY
PROVISIONS TO ENSURE THAT
REFINERIES ARE ALSO BEING
ASSESSED, APPROPRIATE FINDS AND
NOT JUST MINOR AMOUNTS THAT ARE
A COST OF DOING BUSINESS. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE TO THE
PUBLIC AND SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION. BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE FOR MOTION. GOOD
MORNING MEMBERS EXACTLY ON
BEHALF OF THE WESTERN STATES
PETROLEUM ASSOCIATION. WE HAVE
AN OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED
POSITION ON A B 14 65. WE
BELIEVE THAT THE BILL SHOULD
APPLY AIR QUALITY VIOLATIONS
EQUALLY ACROSS ACROSS THE
INDUSTRIES, NOT JUST
SPECIFICALLY TO REFINERIES AND
THEN WE ALSO THINK THERE SHOULD
BE A JUSTIFICATION FOR TRIPLING
OF THE PENALTIES. IN EXISTING
CODE AND THINK THAT SOME
AMENDMENTS WOULD HELP GET THERE
. UM FOR THOSE REASONS WERE
OPPOSED UNLESS AMENDED AND
REQUEST YOUR KNOW ABOUT TODAY.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER COMMENTS?
BACK TO THE COMMITTEE. EMOTION
IN A SECOND. MR HOLDEN. POPPING
COLORING. THANK YOU. THE
SYNDROME IS A DO PASS, AND IT'S
