STANDARD. NOW IS MY 10TH ANNUAL
PROCLAMATION OF VMS WEEK IN

TO MISSING OUT ON SPECIAL
MOMENTS WITH THEIR LOVED ONES.
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW, I SERVED AS
A FIRST RESPONDER FOR OVER 30
YEARS BEFORE GETTING INVOLVED IN
THE POLITICS, SO I UNDERSTAND
HOW DEMANDING THE JOB CAN BE AND
THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE. 911
CALLS RANGE FROM A BROKEN BONE,
CARDIAC ARREST, DIFFICULTY
BREATHING OR EVEN BEING DEPLOYED
TO ANOTHER STATE AID AND RESCUE
MISSIONS BACK IN 2005. I WAS
DEPLOYED TO HURRICANES RITA AND
KATRINA. THIS LIFE SAVING RESCUE
MISSION WAS TRAUMATIC. BUT I CAN
TELL YOU THAT WE FIRST
RESPONDERS HAVE UNIQUE ABILITY
TO PUT OURSELVES ASIDE IN THE
MOMENT SO THAT WE CAN SAVE
LIVES. HOWEVER TRAUMATIC CALLS
CAN STICK WITH YOU AND AFFECT
YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. R E M S

HIGHEST RATES OF OCCURRENCE OF

ADDITIONALLY ADDITIONALLY,
PLEASE WELCOME THE HEADS OF THE
LARGEST CITY ATTORNEY AND COUNTY
COUNCIL OFFICES IN CALIFORNIA UP
IN THE GALLERY WITH HIM.
MOVING BACK TO BUSINESS AND THE
DAILY FILE WILL GO AHEAD AND
TAKE A FILE ITEM. 216 A CR 76,
THE CLERK WILL READ CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION 76 BIAS. LET ME
REMEMBER GRAYSON AND OTHERS
RELATIVE TO FIREFIGHTER MENTAL
HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK. MR
GRAYSON, YOU MAY OPEN. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
A CR 76 PROCLAIMS THE WEEK OF
MAY 22ND THROUGH MAY 20/6 AS
FIREFIGHTER MENTAL HEALTH
AWARENESS WEEK. FIREFIGHTING IS
A DANGEROUS AND PHYSICALLY
DEMANDING PROFESSION THAT
REQUIRES THAT WOMEN OR THE WOMEN
AND MEN OF THE FIRE SERVICE TO
ROUTINELY PUT THEMSELVES IN
HARM'S WAY FOR THE GOOD OF THE
COMMUNITIES THAT THEY SERVE. IN
ADDITION, TO THE PHYSICAL
DEMANDS OF THE PROFESSION.
FIREFIGHTING HAS BEEN
CONSISTENTLY RATED AS ONE OF THE
MOST STRESSFUL AND EMOTIONAL,
INTENSE PROFESSIONS AND,
ACCORDING TO THE FIREFIGHTER,
BEHAVIORAL ALLIANCE. 126
FIREFIGHTERS AND E. M T S DIED
BY SUICIDE IN 2020. FOLLOWED BY
90 FIREFIGHTERS AND E. M. T S
WHO DIED BY SUICIDE IN 2021.
ADDITIONALLY, STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
THAT ONE IN THREE FIREFIGHTERS
WILL EXPERIENCE SOME LEVEL OF
POST TRAUMATIC STRESS INJURIES
AT SOME POINT IN THEIR CAREER
AND ARE 10 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO
CONTEMPLATE SUICIDE THAN THE
GENERAL PUBLIC. IT IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE BREAK THE
STIGMA OF BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
STRUGGLES AND POST TRAUMATIC
STRESS BY ENSURING THAT
FIREFIGHTERS, PARAMEDICS AND
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE
PERSONNEL RECEIVED THE CARE AND
THE RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED
PIERCE SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND, UM
, AND CONFIDENTIAL DISCUSSIONS
WITH TRUSTED COLLEAGUES AND
PEERS WITH SIMILAR WORK IN LIFE
EXPERIENCES PROVIDE NOT ONLY AN
OUTLET FOR THESE STRUGGLES BUT
ALSO ALLOW FOR CONNECTIONS. TO
LIFE SAVING RESOURCES. A CR 76
GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING
AWARENESS TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST
STRUGGLES CALIFORNIA
FIREFIGHTERS FACE ON THE JOB,
BUT TO ALSO RECOGNIZE THE
EXISTING RESOURCES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE TO SUPPORTING MENTAL
HEALTH, FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND
RECOGNITION OF FIREFIGHTER
MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK. I
DO RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS AND I
VOTE ON A CR 76 AND REQUESTS THE
ROLE TO BE OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS
AT APPROPRIATE TIME. MR FLORA,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF A CR 76. UM FOR SO MANY OF US
THAT WORKED IN THE SERVICE OVER
THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS. YOU'RE
STARTING TO SEE CALL VOLUMES.
JUST GO THROUGH THE ROOF AND
STAFFING LEVELS STAY THE SAME,
WHICH TAKES A SEVERE MENTAL TOLL
ON OUR PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS
AND THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT FIGHT
FOR US EACH AND EVERY DAY, SO
WHEN YOU GO BACK HOME AND YOU
HEAR OF LOCAL ISSUES WHERE, YOU
KNOW TAXATION SUPPORTING YOUR
LOCAL JURISDICTIONS REALLY THINK
LONG AND HARD ABOUT THAT.
BECAUSE IT COULD TRULY SAVE
LIVES AND I REALLY WANT TO
IMPRESS UPON IS LIKE THE
STAFFING LEVELS IN THE FIRE
SERVICE. RIGHT NOW, THERE'S A
DIRECT COALITION BETWEEN
STAFFING LEVELS AND MENTAL
HEALTH AND I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE
ARRIVAL. MS WALDRON, YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I TO RISE IN
SUPPORT OF A CR 76 RECOGNIZING
THIS WEEK AS FIREFIGHTER MENTAL
HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK. BEING A
FIGHTER FIGHTER FIREFIGHTERS
BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY
DEMANDING AS THEY ARE PRESENT
AND READY TO HELP DURING WHAT
ARE OFTEN THE MOST TRAUMATIC
MOMENTS IN PEOPLE'S LIVES. AND
THEY GO TO AN INCIDENT SCENE.
THEY SEE THINGS THAT STICK WITH
THEM. AND THEN WHEN THEY LEAVE,
THEY HAVE TO BE READY TO GO ON
TO THE NEXT CALL. THERE'S NO
TIME IN BETWEEN TO DEAL WITH
WHAT THEY'VE SEEN AND WHAT
THEY'VE HAD TO MENTALLY PROCESS.
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT ONE IN
THREE FIREFIGHTERS WILL
EXPERIENCE A POST TRAUMATIC
STRESS INJURY AT SOME POINT IN
THEIR CAREER, AND THAT
FIREFIGHTERS A 10 TIMES MORE
LIKELY TO CONTEMPLATE OR ATTEMPT
SUICIDE. THEN THE GENERAL
PUBLIC. AS SOMEONE WHO HAS
WORKED EXTENSIVELY IN THE MENTAL
HEALTH FIELD AND AS A MOTHER TO
A SON, WHO NOW WORKS FOR CAL
FIRE AS AN EMT FIREFIGHTER. THIS
RESOLUTION HITS CLOSE TO HOME.
WITH FIRE SEASON QUICKLY
APPROACHING, I ASKED THAT WE
TAKE A MOMENT TO THINK ABOUT THE
SELFLESS AND DIFFICULT WORK OF
FIREFIGHTERS DO EVERY DAY TO
KEEP OUR COMMUNITIES SAFE. I
URGE AND I VOTE. MR JIM
PATTERSON. YOU WERE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAME SPEAKER
MEMBERS I TO RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF A CR 76. ABOUT NINE
MONTHS AGO, I WALKED OUT THE
FRONT DOOR. OF MY HOME IN FRESNO
AND LOOK TWO HOUSES DOWN. AND
TWO HOMES WERE ENGULFED IN
FLAMES. THE SINGLE STORY HOME
WAS FULLY ENGULFED. THE TWO
STORY HOME HAD A VERY LARGE PINE
TREE THAT WAS A TORCH. YOU NEVER
THINK IT HAPPENS IN YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD, AND YET IT DID.
AND AS A FORMER MAYOR OF FRESNO,
I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. ALSO,
YOU THINK ALL RIGHT NOW, LET'S
WATCH THEM IN ACTION. THEY WERE
THERE IMMEDIATELY. THEY WERE
THERE QUICKLY. THEY PUT THE
FIRES OUT. BUT IT WAS A HOT DAY
IN FRESNO. AND MANY OF THEM
WOULD BE LYING ON THE GRASS OF A
NEIGHBOR'S HOME. PANTING AND
SWEATING. AND YET. THEY WERE
STILL THERE DOING IT, EVEN
THOUGH IT WAS SUCH A DIFFICULT
TASK. BUT SOMETHING ELSE
HAPPENED. THE NEIGHBORHOOD CAME
AROUND THESE FIREFIGHTERS. THEY
BROUGHT THEM ICED TEA. THEY
BROUGHT THEM COLD DRINKS. THEY
THANK THEM FOR WHAT THEY WERE
DOING. I ALSO SAW WHAT POLICE
OFFICERS DO WHEN THEY ALSO SHOW
UP OUT OF FIRE. OBVIOUSLY THE
LOOK HE LOSE. WANNA TAKE A LOOK
AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE GETTING
IN THE WAY OF THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT DOING ITS JOB AND TO
SEE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT COME
IN, AND TAKE CARE OF MAKING SURE
THAT EVERYBODY STAYED OUT OF THE
WAY AND WE'RE SAFE AND TO SEE
THAT COOPERATIVE WORK. BUT ALSO
I CAN REMEMBER THAT A DEER
NEIGHBOR, WE'VE LIVED IN THAT
NEIGHBORHOOD FOR 40 YEARS WITH
KNOWN HIM FOR 35 YEARS, HAD A
LOT OF KNICKKNACKS INSIDE THE
HOUSE. AND THEY MENTIONED THAT
TO THE FIRE CAPTAIN WHO WAS IN
CHARGE, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE
FIREFIGHTERS ACTUALLY IDENTIFIED
THE ROOMS. BROUGHT DOWN THE
SPECIAL THINGS AND THE NEXT DOOR
NEIGHBOR HAD TAKEN THEIR CAR
OUT. OF THEIR GARAGE INTO OUR
DRIVEWAY, AND THAT WAS WHERE
THOSE KNICKKNACKS AND THOSE
SPECIAL THINGS AND PICTURES
ETCETERA WERE STORED SAFELY. SO
WE SAW OUR FIREFIGHTERS DO THEIR
JOB. BUT WE ALSO FOUND THAT OUR
NEIGHBORHOOD ROSE TO THEIR HELP
THANK THEM FOR WHAT THEY WERE
DOING, AND ALSO OUR
FIREFIGHTERS. RECOGNIZED THAT?
YES THERE WERE ITEMS IN THERE
THAT WE'RE SPECIAL THAT NEEDED
SOME SPECIAL CARE. AND I THOUGHT
ABOUT THAT TO ACTUALLY IN THE
MIDST OF FIGHTING A FIRE. HAD
THE HEART AND THE SOUL. TO GO IN
AND SAY, OKAY, THERE WAS A
SPECIAL ROLLER DESK THERE WAS A
GRANDFATHER'S FROM YEARS AGO,
THERE WAS A SPECIAL THINGS ON
THE WALL. THAT THAT'S WHAT THESE
FIREFIGHTERS DO. AND I THANK THE
AUTHOR AND ALSO WHEN YOU ARE
THAT CLOSE. TWO FIREFIGHTERS ON
THE FRONT LAWN. AND YOU SEE
THERE PANTING AND THEIR
EXHAUSTION. IT REALLY DOES COME
HOME. IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU
DON'T GET A TASTE OF UNLESS IT
HAPPENS RIGHT IN YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD. AND SO THANK GOD.
THOSE TWO HOMES WERE THE ONLY
HOMES THAT WERE BURNT. THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WAS SAFE AND THOSE
FIREFIGHTERS WERE CARED FOR AND
LOVED FOR WHAT THEY DID. AND I
COMMEND THOSE FIREFIGHTERS AND
ALL FIREFIGHTERS. THEY TAKE AN
OATH THEY PUT ON THE GEAR. AND
THEY DO IT, KNOWING THAT TO KEEP
THEIR PROMISE TO THE PEOPLE,
THEY ARE GOING TO RUSH INTO
PLACES THAT PEOPLE ARE RUSHING
OUT OF AND PUTTING THOSE FIRES
OUT. SO THANK YOU FOR WHAT THEY
DO, AND LET'S REMEMBER, AS WAS
MENTIONED BY OUR REPUBLICAN
LATER THAT THERE IS STAFFING
ISSUES THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY
TO LIGHTENING THE BURDEN AND
HELPING THEM TO DO THEIR JOB.
AND TO DO IT WELL OVER AND OVER
AGAIN, SO I'M GLAD TO SUPPORT
THIS AND THANK YOU, AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING IT FORWARD, BUT WE NEED
TO DO A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN JUST
REMEMBER A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN
JUST SAY THANK YOU. WE NEED TO
ACT IN OUR COMMUNITIES BE CLEAR
ABOUT IT AND LET OUR LEADERSHIP
NO. THEY DESERVE THE BEST
EQUIPMENT, THE BEST TRAINING AND
THE BEST BACKUP THEY POSSIBLY
CAN GET. AND THEY ALSO DESERVE
MENTAL HEALTH AND CARE. ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT THE CITY OF
FRESNO DID, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR
WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED WAS TO
OPEN A HEALTH AND WELFARE
OPERATION FOR 30 SECONDS,
OFFICERS AND OUR FIREFIGHTERS,
AND SO WHEN THEY FACE THESE
KINDS OF CONCERNS, AND THESE
KINDS OF THERE IS A PLACE WITH
PROFESSIONALS AND HEALTH CARE
PEOPLE. THAT 20 SECONDS AND I
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF THIS AND
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR. HIS
SAVINGS YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU. CHAIR. TO SUPPORT A CR 76
IN MY URINE IN A. ACTION THAT
THEY TOOK, WHICH WE HAD ABOUT
104 HOMES AND TAKE EVACUATE THAT
MANY PEOPLE WITHIN A MATTER OF
THREE HOURS AND SAVED EVERYONE'S
LIFE. NO INJURIES WAS
UNBELIEVABLE. BUT AGAIN AS WE
KNOW, SERVING ON FIFA AND ORANGE
COUNTY LOOK AT WHAT WE DO. WE
COME TO WORK EVERY DAY, BUT WE
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE THREAT OF
CANCER AND DISEASE. WE DON'T
WORRY ABOUT MENTAL ILLNESS AND
HOW IT'S AFFECTING US. WE DON'T
WORRY ABOUT. ARE WE GOING TO
ACTUALLY COME HOME SAFE TONIGHT
? AND SO THE FACT THAT WE'RE
HERE YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE
AND AGAIN. WE NEED TO SUPPORT
THOSE THAT ARE TAKING CARE OF
US. AND WHATEVER WE CAN DO,
PLEASE LET US KNOW. THANK YOU.
SEEING AND HEARING THE OTHERS.

ALRIGHT MEMBERS. WE WILL NOW
MOVE TO THE ASIAN AMERICAN AND
PACIFIC ISLANDER LEGISLATIVE
CAUCUS CEREMONY IN HONOR OF
ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICAN
HERITAGE MONTH. WITHOUT
OBJECTION, WE WILL TAKE UP FILE
ITEM TO 19. HR 38.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LOW FOR THE
PURPOSE OF THIRD RATING. THE
CLERK WILL READ RESOLUTION 38 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LOW AND OTHERS
RELATIVE TO ASIAN AND PACIFIC
ISLANDER AMERICAN HERITAGE
MONTH. MR LOW, YOU MAY OPEN UP
ON THE MEASURE. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH, MADAM SPEAKER FOR ALLOWING
ME TO PRESENT HR 38. HAPPY ASIAN
PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE
MONTHS. WHERE ARE YOU FROM? I
WAS BORN IN SAN JOSE. WHERE ARE
YOU? REALLY FROM? MY FATHER WAS
BORN IN SACRAMENTO. WELL. WHERE
ARE YOU? REALLY FROM? YOU KNOW
WHAT I MEAN? WHAT'S YOUR
NATIONALITY? I'M AN AMERICAN.
FOURTH GENERATION CALIFORNIAN
SPEAKING MORE SPANISH THAN A NEW
CHINESE. MY GRANDFATHER WORKED
AT FRANK FATS PART TIME AS A
BUSSER HERE. YES, DOWNTOWN. WELL
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I DON'T
KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. OFTEN TIMES
WERE SEEN AS PERPETUAL
FOREIGNERS. NOT TRULY AMERICAN.
THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT I
RECEIVED CURRENTLY STILL DO
RECEIVE, BUT WHEN I KNOCKED ON
DOORS, PEOPLE WOULD ASK THESE
QUESTIONS. WHO DO YOU ROOT FOR
THE OLYMPICS? UNITED STATES OR
JAPAN. THEY KNEW I THIS IS NOT
OF MY ORIGIN. THIS IS NOT UNIQUE
. TO ME. THIS IS AN EXPERIENCE
THAT MANY ASIAN PACIFIC
ISLANDERS FACE AND UNITED
STATES. MEMBERS OF OUR ÁP
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS IN CALIFORNIA
WERE PROHIBITED. TO IMMIGRATE TO
THE UNITED STATES, THE CHINESE
EXCLUSION ACT OF 18 82 PREVENTED
CHINESE FROM COMING TO THIS
COUNTRY, EVEN THOUGH THOSE
CHINESE HELP BUILD THE RAILROADS
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. WE MIGHT
THINK THAT'S PREPOSTEROUS. AND
THAT WAS BACK IN 18 82. BUT
HISTORY DOES REPEAT ITSELF WITH
THE MUSLIM BAN. THAT WE WOULD
PREVENT A PARTICULAR GROUP OF
PEOPLE COMING FROM A GEOGRAPHIC
REGION FOR NO OTHER NOTION OTHER
THAN THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN. OR
WHETHER OR NOT IT'S THE ALIEN
LAND LAW OF 1912 IN CALIFORNIA,
WHICH PREVENTED ASIAN PACIFIC
ISLANDERS FROM OWNING PROPERTY,
AND YOU MIGHT THINK THAT IT IS
EQUALLY PREPOSTEROUS. BUT THAT
WAS BACK THEN IN 1912. WHEN IN
FACT JUST THIS YEAR. THE STATE
OF FLORIDA PASSED. H R. 1 47,
WHICH PROHIBITS CHINESE FROM
OWNING PROPERTY. JUST THIS YEAR.
WE'VE SEEN ANOTHER VERSION IN
TEXAS. AND COLLEAGUES. THERE IS
A VERSION HERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IN THE SENATE. THIS
REEKS OF XENOPHOBIA. AND THIS
CAN ALSO BE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. AND THAT'S WHEN WE
THOUGHT WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE
RISE OF ASIAN HATE THAT WE HAVE
ALL COME TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY
. AND IN FACT WHEN THINKING
ABOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND
THE ATTACK ON ASIAN PACIFIC
ISLANDERS THE N DOUBLE A. C P
JUST ISSUED A TRAVEL ADVISORY
THAT THE STATE OF FLORIDA IS
HOSTILE. TOWARDS MINORITIES
BECAUSE OF THE ATTACK ON
CURRICULUM AND OTHER COMMUNITIES
AS WELL, EQUALITY CALIFORNIA TWO
MONTHS AGO. ISSUED A TRAVEL
ADVISORY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA
BECAUSE OF THE TYPE OF ATTACKS
SPECIFICALLY TO COMMUNITIES.
WHILE WE ARE CELEBRATING ASIAN
ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH, WE ALSO
STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH OTHER
CAUCUSES AND OTHER COMMUNITIES
AS WELL. FOR THE IMPORTANT WORK
OF BASIC FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN
RIGHTS. AND THAT'S WHY WE ARE SO
PROUD TO RECOGNIZE THE
INCREDIBLE WORK OF PROGRESS FOR
SO MANY THAT YOU'LL GET A CHANCE
TO SEE. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE SOME
OF THE CHALLENGES, LET US ALSO
CELEBRATE THE SUCCESSES. THINGS
LIKE EVERYWHERE, EVERYTHING
EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE, WHICH
MADE HISTORY AS RECEIVING THE
MOST AWARDS AT THE OSCARS.
FEATURING ASIAN PACIFIC
ISLANDERS. WHETHER OR NOT IT'S
HISTORY MAKING AND SEEING THE
FIRST SIKH WOMAN TO BE ELECTED
IN CALIFORNIA STATE HISTORY AND
THEIR DOCTOR JASMEET BAINES. A
DOCTOR WHO WAS TOLD SHE HAS NO
PLACE RUNNING FOR OFFICE. OR
WHETHER OR NOT IT'S STEPHANIE
WHEN WEARING A BEAUTIFUL
TRADITIONAL ALLY. THE FIRST
DEMOCRATIC VIETNAMESE WOMAN.
ELECTED IN CALIFORNIA STATE
HISTORY AND COLLEAGUES. BY THE
WAY, THIS IS A BIPARTISAN EFFORT
AND RECOGNIZING THAT WE ALSO
HAVE ASIAN SANDERS ON THE OTHER
SIDE OF THE AISLE, WHO EQUALLY
HAVE CHAMPIONED AND STOOD IN
SOLIDARITY ON THE BASIC
FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS THAT
THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE.
THIS IS ABOUT FULL EQUALITY FOR
ALL AND THAT WE ARE JUST AS
AMERICAN AS EVERYONE ELSE. SO AS
WE CELEBRATE THE INCREDIBLE WORK
OF SO MANY, I KNOW THAT WE WILL
BE PROUD OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF
OUR ENTIRE COMMUNITY. LET US
CELEBRATING THE SUCCESSES OF SO
MANY. AND ALSO ASK YOUR I VOTE
FOR HR 38 AND CELEBRATION OF
ASIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE
MONTH. REMEMBER TOYOUR
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE ON THE PROUD
STORY, ARTHUR ON ASHAR 38 AND
ALLOWED THE THANKS MY COLLEAGUES
FROM SAN JOSE FOR INTRODUCING
THIS IMPORTANT GRADUATE, LUCIEN.
CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO OVER 7
MILLION ASIAN AND PACIFIC
ISLANDER AMERICANS WITH HIS MORE

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
CONTRIBUTION IN LOADING

BUILDING 690 MILES FROM RAILROAD
BETWEEN 18 64 AND 18 69. AS AN
INDIVIDUAL WHO HAD TO FLEE MY
HOME COUNTRY. VIETNAM AT 19

THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE TODAY ON BEHALF
OF THE LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS
AND SUPPORT OF HR 38,
CELEBRATING THE MONTH OF MAY AS
ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC
ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH.
CALIFORNIA IS HOME TO THE
HIGHEST POPULATION OF ASIAN
AMERICANS AMONG THE UNITED
STATES WITH A POPULATION OF
ABOUT 6 MILLION API
CALIFORNIANS. UPON REFLECTING ON
THE KEY POINTS IN STATE'S
HISTORY WITH ASIAN AND PACIFIC
ISLANDER AMERICANS, WE CAN
RECOGNIZE THAT ASIAN AMERICAN
HISTORY IS CALIFORNIA'S HISTORY.
AND CALIFORNIA IS INTIMATELY
LINKED TO THE STORIES OF
MILLIONS OF ASIAN AMERICAN AND
PACIFIC ISLANDER FAMILIES AND
THE CULTURES THEY HOLD. IT IS
INDISPUTABLE THAT WITHOUT THE
AAPI COMMUNITY, CALIFORNIA AS A
STATE WOULD BE VASTLY DIFFERENT
THAN IT IS TODAY. ÁP AYE
AMERICANS HAVE BEEN AND CONTINUE
TO BE DRIVERS OF INNOVATION FOR
CALIFORNIA'S ART SCIENCE,
BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY, MEDICINE,
LITERATURE ENTERTAINMENT,
ACCUSING FOOD AND GOVERNMENT. AS
WE RECOGNIZE THE RICHNESS AND
DIVERSITY OF API HERITAGE. WE
ALSO REFLECT ON THE STRUGGLES
THAT THE API COMMUNITY CONTINUES
TO FACE TODAY. WHICH
UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS DAY STILL
INCLUDE ANTI ASIAN RACISM AND
XENOPHOBIA. SINCE THE COVID 19
PANDEMIC, THERE HAS BEEN A RISE
IN ANTI ASIAN RHETORIC AS WELL
AS HATE CRIMES AGAINST INNOCENT
ÁP. AYE, INDIVIDUALS GOING ABOUT
THEIR DAILY BUSINESS. WE MUST
NOT FORGET THE TRAGIC DEATH OF
ITCHY RATNA PARK DAY AND 84 YEAR
OLD THAI AMERICAN MAN WHO WAS
FORCIBLY PUSHED TO THE GROUND IN
BROAD DAYLIGHT IN SAN FRANCISCO
IN JANUARY 2021 AND DIED AS A
RESULT OF THAT ATTACK. NOR
SHOULD WE FORGET THE HORRIFIC
MASS SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED
RECENTLY IN MONTEREY PARK WHERE
11 INDIVIDUALS WERE KILLED AND
NINE WERE WOUNDED DURING WHAT
WAS MEANT TO BE A PEACEFUL
CELEBRATION OF THE LUNAR NEW
YEAR. THESE ATTACKS DO NOT JUST
IMPACT THE INDIVIDUAL VICTIMS
AND THEIR FAMILIES. THEY ALSO
INSTILL FEAR WITHIN THE AAPI
COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE. MEMBERS
LET US REMEMBER OUR COLLECTIVE
RESPONSIBILITY TO DENOUNCE ANTI
ASIAN SENTIMENT ON THIS FLOOR AS
WELL AS OUR PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO DENOUNCE
XENOPHOBIC AND ANTI ASIAN
RHETORIC WITHIN OUR PERSONAL
INTERACTIONS AT HOME. THE JEWISH
CAUCUS STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH
THE AAPI COMMUNITY AND THE FIGHT
AGAINST HATRED AND INTOLERANCE.
AND ON BEHALF OF THE JEWISH
CAUCUS, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE AND SUPPORT OF HR 38.
REMEMBER RAMA'S YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. WELL THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE
TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE NATIVE
AMERICAN LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS TO
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS
MEASURE, CELEBRATING THE
NUMEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS OF ASIAN
AND PACIFIC ISLANDERS TO THE
STATE AND THE NATION. ASIAN AND
PACIFIC ISLANDERS. CONTRIBUTIONS
TO THE UNITED STATES ARE
NUMEROUS. HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
THEY HELPED BUILD THE
TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD AND
WE'RE LEADERS IN ESTABLISHING
CIVIL AND LABOR RIGHTS AND ADD
IT TO THE RICHNESS OF OUR
CULTURE AND THE ARTS, SPORTS AND
OTHER AREAS OF ENDEAVOR. THEIR
SERVICE TO PROTECT OUR NATION
DURING TIMES OF WAR. EVEN AS
THEIR LOYALTY WAS QUESTIONED BY
THE UNITED STATES. AND THEIR
FAMILIES WERE INTERNED. THEY
ROSE TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY.
THEY ARE RESILIENT AND STRONG
AND OVERCOMING BARRIERS SUCH AS
DISCRIMINATION PREJUDICE IN THE
CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT. SOME OF
THAT PREJUDICE, AND SOME OF
THOSE BARRIERS STILL REMAIN
TODAY. BUT OUR STATES, ASIAN AND
PACIFIC ISLANDERS CONTINUE TO
ACHIEVE TO SERVE AND CONTRIBUTE
TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. THE
NATION AND THE WORLD. JOIN ME AS
I URGE YOUR I VOTE ON HR 38.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JIM PATTERSON,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAME SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE TO
JOIN IN THE SUPPORT OF THIS
RESOLUTION. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
QUALIFIES ME TO BE A PART OF THE
A P I CAUCUS, BUT I AM BJ
PATTERSON'S DAD. BRIAN JAMES
PATTERSON'S MY OLDEST SON. HE
WAS ABANDONED ON THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD. IN VIETNAM. WHEN VIETNAM
WAS BEING EVACUATED. TWO G. I S
FOUND HIM ON THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD. INSTEAD OF THINKING ONLY
ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. THEY ALSO
THOUGHT ABOUT THIS LITTLE 18
MONTH OLD. THEY GATHERED HIM UP.
AND TOOK HIM TO A CATHOLIC
ORPHANAGE. HE WAS LATER FLOWN TO
THE UNITED STATES ON OPERATION
BABY LIFT. NOW WE ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT B J WAS VIETNAMESE. RIGHT
BECAUSE HE WAS IN VIETNAM, AND
HE WAS FLOWN OVER ON OPERATION
BABY LIFT AND ALL OF THAT.
WHETHER ABOUT 3500 OF THESE, UH
, NOW GROWN UP ADULTS AND THEY
HAVE AN ASSOCIATION AND THEY PUT
TOGETHER THEIR D N A BANK. AND
BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT, WELL, YOU
KNOW, WE HAD PROBABLY A LOT OF
COUSINS AND RELATIVES AND ALL OF
THAT. AND SO B. J GAVE HIM THE
SWAB AND ALREADY CALLED ME UP,
HE SAYS DAD. YOU KNOW ALL THIS
TIME I THOUGHT I WAS I WAS
VIETNAMESE. HE SAYS, WELL, I'M
ONE THIRD JAPANESE AND TWO
THIRDS CAMBODIAN HE SAID. DOES
THAT MAKE ME CAMPANIS OR
JAPANESE ODEON. QUIET ON THE
PHONE AND SAID, I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT IT MEANS, DAD. 100%
AMERICAN AND 100. PATTERSON. HE
IS A FRESH REMINDER OF WHAT IT
MEANS TO HAVE ESCAPED A
DESPOTIC, WAR TORN COUNTRY. TO
COME TO THE UNITED STATES AND TO
FIND FREEDOM AND OPPORTUNITY. HE
HAS BEEN THE DELIGHT OF OUR
LIVES. HE IS 50 YEARS OLD. NOW
HE'S A PLUMBING CONTRACTOR. AND
HE MARRIED INTO A ACCOUNTING
FAMILY. HIS WIFE IS AN
ACCOUNTANT. EVERY FAMILY. EVERY
FAMILY NEEDS A PLUMBER IN AN
ACCOUNTANT IN IT, SO BUT IT IS
SO SPECIAL AND I RISE AS THE
FATHER OF AN ASIAN. BOY WHO HAS
GROWN INTO A MAN. WHO RECOGNIZES
HIS HERITAGE AND HIS HISTORY BUT
IS GRATEFUL THAT HE IS HERE
FREE. OWNING HIS OWN HOME AND
HAVING HIS OWN BUSINESS THAT
FRESH REMINDER OF WHAT IT MEANS
TO COME TO THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. I LOVE HIM DEARLY, AND
I WANTED TO TELL HIS STORY. UH,
BECAUSE IT IS TRULY AN ASIAN
STORY, BUT IT IS ALSO AN
AMERICAN STORY. AND SO THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO RISE IN
BEHALF OF THE BJ AND JIM
PATTERSON ASIAN CAUCUS THAT
RESPECTFULLY ASK WHERE YOUR VOTE
FOR THIS A CR LOVE THE BOY AND
I'M GRATEFUL THAT HE'S MY SON.

VALLEY AND THE AAPI CAUCUS FOR
BRINGING THIS VITAL RESOLUTION
TO THE FLOOR. TODAY WE CELEBRATE
OUR VIBRANT AND VITAL ASIAN
PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE UNITED
STATES, A P I S ARE THE FASTEST
GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC IN OUR
COUNTRY. THE COLLABORATION
BETWEEN THE LATINO AND THE AAPI
COMMUNITIES AND FIGHTING EQUAL
RIGHTS AND DIGNITY IN THE UNITED
STATES HAS BEEN BOTH
LONGSTANDING AND REAL. AS WE
KNOW CESAR CHAVEZ AND DOLORES
HUERTA HAD ESSENTIAL PARTNERS IN
FOUNDING THE UNITED FARM WORKERS
IN LARRY LEONG AND PHILIP VERA
CRUZ TO IMMIGRANT FILIPINO
AMERICAN FARM WORKERS. BOTH
PLAYED A CENTRAL ROLES AND THE
DELANOE BOYCOTT. AND THE
FORMATION OF THE UNITED FARM
WORKERS AND THEY WERE THE
EMBODIMENT OF THE BROADER ASIAN
PACIFIC ISLANDER COMMUNITY WHO
FOUGHT ALONGSIDE THE LATINO
COMMUNITY WHILE TODAY IS A
JOYOUS OCCASION, I ALSO WANT TO
BE CLEAR THE LATINO CAUCUS
STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH OUR
PARTNERS IN THE API CAUCUS IN
CONFRONTING MANY OF THE
STRUGGLES FACED BY OUR API
COMMUNITY. AS WE KNOW THE UNFAIR
SCAPEGOATING OF THE AAPI
COMMUNITY FOR THE COVID 19
PANDEMIC LED TO INCREASE
INCIDENCES IN HATE CRIMES,
DISCRIMINATION AND VIOLENCE. LET
ME BE CLEAR. THE LATINO CAUCUS
STANDS SHOULDER TO SHOULDER
EVERY SINGLE DAY WITH THEIR API
COMMUNITY BOTH HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY BY CELEBRATING ALL THAT
THE COMMUNITY HAS ACHIEVED.
AGAINST THESE HATEFUL RHETORIC.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT TODAY
AND EVERY DAY WE ARE PROUD TO
STAND WITH YOU. AND THE LATINO
CAUCUS AND WOMEN'S CAUCUS ASKED
FOR AN I VOTE ON HR 38. THANK
YOU. UH FAMILY MEMBER, DR
JACKSON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MADAM
SPEAKER. IT IS MY HONOR TO STAND
ON BEHALF OF THE LEGISLATIVE
BLACK CAUCUS. AND SOLIDARITY. UM
AND IN PARTNERSHIP. WITH OUR API
BROTHERS AND SISTERS. YOU KNOW,
OUR TWO COMMUNITIES DO SHARE A
COMMON HISTORY IN THIS STATE.
HAVING LAWS OF CALIFORNIA. BEING
SPECIFICALLY CREATED. AH TO
PROHIBIT OUR COMMUNITIES FROM
OWNING LAND. TO PROHIBIT OUR
COMMUNITIES FROM GOING INTO
CERTAIN PUBLIC SPACES. AND QUITE
FRANKLY, EVEN BEING PROHIBITED
TO BE ABLE TO MARRY OUTSIDE OF
OUR OWN. RACE. UM AND SO IT IS
FITTING THAT WE CONTINUE. TO
SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER TO HAVE EACH
OTHER'S BACK. AND UNDERSTANDING.
AH, THAT SOMETIMES. WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT HATE TOO MANY TIMES, THE
AAPI COMMUNITY AND THEIR STORY
IS NOT TOLD ENOUGH. UM AS A
MATTER OF FACT. UM, UH, I WAS
RECENTLY TOLD THAT THE LARGEST
LYNCHING IN CALIFORNIA'S
HISTORY. UM WAS NOT AGAINST
AFRICAN AMERICANS, BUT AGAINST
THE CHINESE. WHEN 19 MEN AND
BOYS WERE MASSACRED. UM IN LOS
ANGELES IN THE OLD CHINATOWN. I
AM REMINDED EVEN IN MY OWN
COUNTY OF RIVERSIDE. WHERE ONE
OF THE GREATEST CIVIL RIGHTS
CASES WAS. ONE UH, UM, WAS THE
HARADA FAMILY? AND RIVERSIDE. UM
IN WHICH THEY WERE PROHIBITED
FROM OWNING WHAT IS NOW LOVINGLY
CALLED THE HARADA HOUSE. WHERE
THEY WERE PROHIBITED FROM OWNING
THAT HOUSE. BUT THAT CASE
ACTUALLY MADE IT HIS WAY TO THE
SUPREME COURT. UM AND WAS ONE OF
THE MORE FOR REACHING UM, COURT
CASES, UM, AND MAKING SURE THAT
PEOPLE ARE NOT PROHIBITED FROM
OWNING LAND SIMPLY BECAUSE OF
THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, UM AND
THEIR NATIONALITY. UM AND SO WE
STAND IN SOLIDARITY TOGETHER,
KNOWING THAT EVEN TODAY AS MORE
HARD TIMES ARE COMING AND ON ITS
WAY UM, WE JUST NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT IT IS CLEAR. YOU COME
FROM ONE OF US. YOU'RE COMING
FOR ALL OF US. RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR MY VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
EARLY YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA LGBT Q
PLUS CAUCUS IN STRONG SUPPORT OF
HR. 38 I HAVE THE GREAT HONOR OF
REPRESENTING THE MOST ASIAN
AMERICAN DISTRICT ENTIRE STATES
RIGHT UP RIGHT AFTER MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN GABRIEL
VALLEY. MY DISTRICT IS 60% ASIAN
6 0% ASIAN AMERICAN, AND THERE
IS A COURSE A SIZE OF
POPULATION. OF QUEER ASIAN
AMERICANS THAT EXIST IN THE
COMMUNITY, AND I WANT TO SAY
THAT THIS CAUCUS OR API CAUCUSES
BODY ALWAYS SENDS RESOLUTE AND
SUPPORTING. THE QUEER, TRANS AND
NON BINARY ASIAN AMERICANS. THAT
OF COURSE EXIST. IT'S A VERY
CHALLENGING TIME FOR THEM TO
EXIST IN THIS COUNTRY FOR OUR
COMMUNITY EXIST IN THIS COUNTRY
AND EVEN MORE SO IT WAS CULTURAL
STIGMA AS PROUD AS WE ARE, OF
ALL THE ADVANCES WE'VE MADE IN
THIS COUNTRY ECONOMICALLY
SOCIALLY, THERE STILL REMAINS
LIVE SINGLE WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY
AGAINST LGBT PEOPLE. AND EVEN
NOW, AS PEOPLE WHO ARE ONLY A
COUPLE YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME
HAVE NEVER HAD THE EXPERIENCE OF
HAVING TO COME OUT AND THEY ARE
WHO THEY ARE. THEY CAN JUST
EXIST AND BE WHO THEY ARE. BUT
THEY STILL HAVE BACKLASH BACK AT
HOME. AND SO WE HOPE AS THIS
BODY AND THROUGH OUR AWARENESS,
WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT ASIAN
AMERICANS ARE EMBRACING OF
WHATEVER THEIR CHILDREN DECIDE,
DECIDE TO DO AND BECOME AN
EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND SO
IMPORTANT THAT RECOGNIZED THE
ACHIEVEMENTS OF QUEER ASIAN
AMERICANS AND ALL THE WORK THEY
DO. FOR EXAMPLE, I WANT TO SHOUT
OUT PART OF OUR BAY AREA WHO
WORKS SPECIFICALLY AND
INTERSECTION OF TRANS AND SOUTH
ASIAN ACTIVITIES. SOUTH ASIAN
ISSUES AND ALSO, OF COURSE, OUR
OWN EQUALITY. CALIFORNIA
DIRECTOR TONY HUANG, WHO IS
PROUDLY ASIAN, AMERICAN AND
QUEER REPRESENTATIVE COMMUNITY,
SO IT'S GOOD TO INCLUDE THAT
PART OF OUR HISTORY, SO RISEN
STRONG SUPPORT. AH SO MEMBER
GARCIA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER,
ALTHOUGH ALL OF THE ETHNIC
GROUPS CAUCUSES OF STOOD UP I
THOUGHT I'D RISE IN
REPRESENTATION OF WHAT? I'LL
JUST CALL THE CHICK ALI CAUCUS.
COLIC CAUCUS. MEXICALI BAJA
CALIFORNIA. IS HOME. TO A
SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE. LARGE
CHINESE MEXICAN POPULATION, UM,
OUTSIDE OF CHINA, PERHAPS ONE OF
THE AREAS ASIDE FROM THE LARGE
CITIES IN CALIFORNIA THAT HAS
SIGNIFICANTLY LARGE PRESENCE OF
CHINESE MEXICAN POPULATIONS, AND
SO I WANTED TO RISE TO BRING
ATTENTION TO THIS UNIQUE. UH
OPPORTUNITY THAT IN THE EARLY 19
HUNDREDS LARGE GROUP OF CHINESE
IMMIGRANTS CAME TO THE BORDER
AREA. TO HELP BUILD WHAT IS
TODAY THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO A
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT
AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY FOR OUR
AREA, BUT BEYOND THE WORK THAT
WAS DONE IN THE AREA OF
AGRICULTURE. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
I NOTE THAT THERE WERE IN THE
EARLY 1900 MORE CHINESE
IMMIGRANTS ON THE BORDER OF
MEXICALI. LEXICAL THAN THERE
WERE MEXICAN. NATIONAL MEXICAN
RESIDENTS LIVING ON THE BORDER,
THE CHINESE POPULATION IMMERSED
HIMSELF INTO THE BORDER
COMMUNITY BORDER CULTURE, AND
TODAY WE HAVE A THRIVING CHINESE
MEXICAN POPULATION ON THE BORDER
OF MEXICALI, CALEXICO, UH, TODAY
SO AS THE ONE MEMBER OF THE
CHICK ALI CAUCUS, I WANTED TO
JUST STAND UP IN HONOR OF THE
MEXICAN CHINESE POPULATION THAT
I GET TO REPRESENT. THAT IS
TRANSNATIONAL THAT GOES FROM
MEXICALI TO CALEXICO. AND THAT
HAS CONTRIBUTED SIGNIFICANTLY TO
THE FABRIC OF THE IMPERIAL
VALLEY AND THE CULTURE OF THE
BORDER, WHICH IS THE MEXICALI
CALEXICO CULTURE. SO THANK YOU
FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE THOSE
FEW THOUGHTS AND RESPECTFULLY
SUPPORT THIS. HR 38 IN FRONT OF
US. SOME MEMBER GALLAGHER, YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED. YES THANK YOU.
MADAM SPEAKER REMEMBERS. I ALSO
WANTED TO RISE TO RECOGNIZE OUR
AMAZING ÁP. I COMMUNITY IN
CALIFORNIA. UH AND I'VE I'VE
BEEN THE BENEFICIARY OF SOME
GREAT RELATIONSHIPS. WITH ASIAN
AMERICAN PACIFIC ISLANDERS, UH
AS I'VE GROWN UP IN CALIFORNIA
AS I'VE REPRESENTED THE DISTRICT
THAT I REPRESENT, I REPRESENT
THE HISTORIC CHINATOWN IN
MARYSVILLE. AND FOR A LONG TIME
HAD GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH
THAT COMMUNITY. THE ONE THING
THAT I LEARNED YOU KNOW, AS AS
ABOUT MARYSVILLE IS THAT THERE
ARE TUNNELS. UNDERNEATH THE CITY
OF MARYSVILLE AND THE REASON
THAT THERE ARE TUNNELS IS
BECAUSE CHINESE AMERICANS IN
THAT CITY COULD NOT GO OUT
DURING THE DAYTIME. THEY HAD TO
TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT BUILDINGS
WITHIN THAT COMMUNITY BY TUNNEL
BECAUSE OF FEAR OF MOB ATTACKS
ON THOSE CITIES. AND AS AN IRISH
AMERICAN, YOU KNOW, WE BUILT THE
RAILROAD FROM THE FROM THE EAST
SIDE. AND THE CHINESE IMMIGRANTS
BUILT THE RAILROAD FROM THE WEST
SIDE. UM BUT WE KNOW THAT. AS
IMMIGRANTS. WE FACE
DISCRIMINATION, YOU KNOW, ON THE
ON OUR SIDE, THE NINA LAWS NO
IRISH NEED APPLY, AND HERE ON
THE WEST COAST, THE CHINESE
EXCLUSION ACT. UM AND THAT IS
WHY I'VE ALWAYS BEEN VERY WARY
AND CONCERNED. BYE LAWS THAT ARE
XENOPHOBIC. THAT ARE TARGETING
GROUPS AND WE'VE SEEN THAT OVER
OUR HISTORY CHINESE EXCLUSION
ACT WE SAW THAT WITH JAPANESE
INTERNMENT. WENT OUT OF FEAR.
OUT OF FEAR AND UNDER EMERGENCY
POWERS. WE DID UNBELIEVABLE
THINGS TO JAPANESE AMERICANS.
AND SO I AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE
AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT
UP THAT WE DO NEED TO BE ON
GUARD. ALWAYS WHEN WE SEE THESE
KINDS OF THINGS. UM, WE CAN DO
SO MUCH BETTER. UM. WE NEED WE
NEED TO DO MORE TO STOP ASIAN
HATE VIOLENT ATTACKS. AGAINST
MEMBER OF MEMBERS OF THE AAPI
COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY ELDERLY
MEMBERS OF THE API COMMUNITY. WE
NEED ACCOUNTABILITY. FOR THIS
VIOLENCE THAT WE'RE SEEING OUR
STREETS. WE NEED JUSTICE FOR
JASPER WOO. IT WAS MURDERED. AND
IN ALAMEDA. AND WE NEED THE D A
THERE TO PROVIDE ACCOUNTABILITY.
THEN GO AFTER HIS MURDERERS. WE
SEE FAR TOO WE SPEAK FAR TOO
MUCH CRIME IMPACTING. ASIAN
BUSINESSES. IN THIS STATE THIS
RETAIL THEFT. CRISIS THAT WE'RE
IN. IS AFFECTING MANY ÁP. AYE.
BUSINESSES IN FACT, I JUST
RECENTLY VISITED LITTLE SAIGON
WITH MY COLLEAGUE. AS I WAS
VISITING HIS DISTRICT OFFICE. WE
SAW A POLICE OFFICER COMING OUT.
OF A RESTAURANT. THAT'S RIGHT
NEXT DOOR. WE WANTED TO SAY.
MAN. WHAT? JUST WHAT JUST
HAPPENED HERE? WHAT JUST
TRANSPIRED IN THAT BUSINESS
OWNER TOLD US THAT JUST THAT
NIGHT BEFORE HIS DOOR HAD BEEN
ROBBED HIS INVENTORY TAKEN. AND
THE OFFICER WAS THEY'RE COMING
TO WRITER FILE REPORT. BUT. HE
WAS IN DISTRESS AS MANY BUSINESS
OWNERS. MANY ASIAN BUSINESS
OWNERS IN HIS POSITION ARE IN
THIS STATE SO WE CAN DO SO MUCH
BETTER. WE MUST WORK HARD. UM AS
A BODY TO ADDRESS THESE MANY
ISSUES. THERE ARE STILL
PLAGUING. UM OUR API COMMUNITY
AND I, I WILL STAND SIDE BY SIDE
WITH ALL OF YOU AS WE WORK ON
THOSE ISSUES. SO THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THIS RESOLUTION FOR
TODAY. I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT IT.
UM AND CONTINUE TO STAND WITH
OUR API COMMUNITY HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU. SOMETHING
MORE VERMIN. YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I
WASN'T PLANNING ON SPEAKING. BUT
ONE OF OUR EYES. IN SUPPORT OF
HR 38. AND AS MY COLLEAGUE FROM
NICHOLAS WAS TALKING ABOUT ALL
THE THINGS WE NEED. I THINK ONE
OF THE THINGS WE NEED. IS FOR
ALL OF US. WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES GETS UP. AND
CAUSE THE VIRUS AT CHINA VIRUS.
WHEN THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED, THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES, USES THE WORD
CHINA PEJORATIVELY. WHICH CAUSES
PEOPLE IN HIS COMMUNITY TO
TARGET OR PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW HIS
LEAD. PEOPLE WHO LISTEN TO WHAT
HE SAYS TO TARGET THE API
COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA AND
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE ALL
ELECTED LEADERS IN CALIFORNIA
EVERY ONE OF US. NEEDS TO GET UP
AND SPEAK UP AGAINST THAT KIND
OF HATEFUL AND UNNECESSARY
LANGUAGE. WE ALL NEED TO SPEAK
OUT. WHEN ELECTED LEADERS IN
THIS STATE TRY TO TARGET OUR
FRIENDS AND OUR NEIGHBORS AND
OUR COLLEAGUES. WITH THAT TYPE
OF HATEFUL RHETORIC. WE ALL NEED
TO SPEAK UP AND WE NEED TO CALL
THAT OUT. WE NEED TO CALL THAT
OUT ON OUR TWITTER FEEDS. WE
NEED TO SEND OUT PRESS RELEASES.
WE NEED TO SPEAK UP. WHEN
POLITICIANS TRY TO TARGET THE
API COMMUNITY. WHEN POLITICIANS
SAY THINGS THAT LEAD TO VIOLENCE
AGAINST THE AAPI COMMUNITY.
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO. AND
I'M SO GLAD TO HEAR THAT.
EVERYONE IS VERY FOCUSED ON
SUPPORTING THE AAPI COMMUNITY.
AND THE NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS,
I LOOK FORWARD TO MY COLLEAGUES
DOING EXACTLY THAT. I LOOK
FORWARD TO ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES,
DEMOCRAT OR REPUBLICAN GETTING
ON THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA FEEDS AND
DENOUNCING WHEN DONALD TRUMP

HOUSE RESOLUTION 28 BY SOMEBODY
REWARD AND OTHERS RELATIVE TO
HARVEY MILK DAY MEMBERS. ERT,
YOU MAY OPEN ON THE RESOLUTION.
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE
TODAY TO PRESENT HR 28 HARVEY
MILK DAY ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE L G B T Q
CAUCUS. TO HONOR TODAY WE HONOR
HARVEY BERNARD MILK A HERO IN
THE L G B T Q. PLUS COMMUNITY
WHO DEDICATED HIS LIFE TO
FIGHTING FOR THE RIGHTS OF ALL
PEOPLE. HARVEY WAS THE FIRST
OPENLY GAY ELECTED OFFICIAL IN
CALIFORNIA AND IN ANY MAJOR
UNITED STATES CITY. HE'S A
GLOBAL ICON AND A PIONEER IN THE
L G B T Q. PLUS CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT. HARVEY MILK'S LIFE
EMBODIES THE VALUES OF
RESILIENCE, PERSISTENCE AND
DEDICATION TO SOCIAL JUSTICE AND
HIS CAREER EMBODIES IN MANY
RESPECTS THE RISE OF THE L G B T
Q PLUS CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN
CALIFORNIA AND IN THE UNITED
STATES. HARVEY UNSUCCESSFULLY
RAN IN SEVERAL LOCAL ELECTIONS,
BUT HIS PERSISTENCE PAID OFF IN
1977 WHEN HE WAS ELECTED TO THE
SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS. HIS UNPRECEDENTED
ELECTION VICTORY. AND THE IMPACT
OF HIS BOLD AND SHORT CAREER
CONTINUE TO INSPIRE US TODAY AS
WE INCREASE LGBT Q PLUS
REPRESENTATION ACROSS CALIFORNIA
, THE COUNTRY AND THE WORLD
WORKING TO FIGHT HOMOPHOBIA AND
TRANSPHOBIA AND OTHER FORMS OF
DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LGBT Q.
PLUS PEOPLE. MILK WAS OFTEN THE
LOUDEST VOICE AT A TIME WHEN
MANY WERE AFRAID TO BE
THEMSELVES. HE ACTIVELY
ENCOURAGED MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ
PLUS COMMUNITY TO SHOW PRIDE AND
TO EXPRESS OUR TRUE IDENTITIES.
HARVEY'S LIFE WAS TRAGICALLY CUT
SHORT AFTER A FORMER COLLEAGUE
ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
ASSASSINATED HIM AND SAN
FRANCISCO MAYOR GEORGE MOSCONE
E. HARVEY MILK'S KILLER WAS
CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER
INSTEAD OF MURDER AND INJUSTICE
THAT SPARKED RIOTS. AND STILL
STINGS TODAY BECAUSE OF THE
INJUSTICE THAT OCCURRED AND THE
REMINDER THAT HIS LIFE AND THE
LIVES OF LGBTQ PEOPLE AND PEOPLE
OF COLOR WOMEN AND RELIGIOUS
MINORITIES ARE OFTEN DEVALUED BY
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. THE
OUTCOME OF THAT TRIAL SERVES AS
A STARK REMINDER HOW MUCH WORK
WE STILL HAVE TO DO IN REFORMING
OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND OUR
JUSTICE SYSTEM. HARVEY MILK'S
LIFE WAS ABOUT HELPING LGBT Q
PLUS PEOPLE TO SEE. A NEW WORLD
CHANGED WORLD, A WORLD IN WHICH
EVERY PERSON AND CHILD CAN SEE
THEMSELVES IN IT WITH PRIDE AND
WITH CONFIDENCE THAT THEIR LIVES
AND THEIR DREAMS MATTER AND CAN
BE ACHIEVED. HIS WAS A MESSAGE
OF OPTIMISM, BUT ALSO A CALL TO
ACTION THAT WE OURSELVES AS L G
B T Q. PLUS PEOPLE WORKING WITH
OUR ALLIES CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.
HE CALLED ON US TO QUOTE BURST
DOWN THOSE CLOSET DOORS STAND
UP. AND ONCE AND FOR ALL AND
START TO FIGHT, AND HE REMINDED
US THAT QUOTE HOPE WILL NEVER BE
SILENT AND LATER ON, QUOTE. YOU
CAN'T LIVE ON HOPE ALONE. BUT
LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING WITHOUT
HOPE. HARVEY MILK. CHANGED MY
LIFE. AND THE LIVES OF COUNTLESS
OTHER LGBT PLUS PEOPLE. AND KIDS
SHOWING US THAT WE BELONG BUT
THAT WE ALSO HAVE AN AGENCY AND
RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT AND
ENGAGED TO MAKE THE WORLD A
BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE. HE
SHOWED ME AND MANY OF OUR
COLLEAGUES IN THIS BODY AND THE
THOUSANDS OF OTHER LGBT Q PLUS
PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND
THE WORLD THAT WE ALSO BELONG IN
THE HALLS OF GOVERNMENT. IN A
WORLD THAT DID NOT AND STILL
DOES NOT ENSURE EQUALITY AND
SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR ALL, HARVEY
MILK'S IMPACT AS A TRAILBLAZER
AND A CIVIL RIGHTS ADVOCATE,
MOVES US TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT
AND TO FINISH WHAT HE STARTED. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR EYE
BOAT ON HR 28. THANK YOU, MR
ZUBER. AND SOME WOMAN HAPPEN.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. GOOD AFTERNOON. I RISE
ON BEHALF OF THE LEGISLATIVE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS IN SUPPORT OF HR
28, WHICH RECOGNIZES MAY 22ND AS
HARVEY MILK DAY WHILE MILKS
ADVOCACY PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON
THE RIGHTS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. HIS WORK HAD A MUCH
BROADER IMPACT DURING THE TIME
THAT HE WAS BREAKING DOWN
BARRIERS FOR THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. HE WAS ALSO
SIMULTANEOUSLY UPLIFTING. THE
VOICES OF WOMEN HARVEY MILK
UNDERSTOOD THAT OPPRESSION IS
NOT LIMITED TO SEXUAL
ORIENTATION AND THAT THE FIGHT
FOR EQUALITY ELEVATES ALL
MARGINALIZED GROUPS MILKS GROUND
AMERICAN CAMPAIGN FOR A SEAT ON
THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS IN 1977 WAS A
PIVOTAL MOMENT IN HISTORY. HE
WAS NOT ONLY THE FIRST OPENLY
GAY ELECTED OFFICIAL IN
CALIFORNIA BUT ALSO A PROMINENT
ALLY TO WOMEN HE ACTIVELY
ENGAGED WITH WOMEN'S
ORGANIZATIONS, EMPOWERING THEM
AND AMPLIFYING THEIR VOICES.
SUPERVISOR MILK WAS A PIONEERING
CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER AND
DEMONSTRATED CLEARLY THAT
REPRESENTATION MATTERS. THE
DEVELOPMENT OF PUBLIC POLICY
DEPENDS AT LEAST PARTLY ON WHAT
WE ALL BRING TO THE TABLE.
DIVERSE VOICES AND EXPERIENCES
ARE CRITICAL TO INCLUSIVE AND
THOUGHTFUL POLICY WHEN BEST
INFORMED POLICYMAKERS LIKE THOSE
ASSEMBLED HERE CAN CHALLENGE THE
STATUS QUO THAT HAS BEEN
EXCLUSIVE AND AT TIMES OUTRIGHT
HARMFUL. WELL HIS LIFE AND
CAREER WERE TRAGICALLY CUT SHORT
. HARVEY MILK WAS AN INSPIRATION
TO MANY SUCCESSORS WHO TOOK UP
THE MANTLE, SOME OF WHOM WHO
HAVE SERVED AND ARE SERVING HERE
TODAY. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S OF HERB
UM, TODAY WE RECOGNIZE HARVEY
MILK FOR HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND
WE COMMIT TO CARRYING ON HIS
LEGACY BY CHALLENGING AND
CONFRONTING THE STRUCTURAL
INEQUALITIES THAT HINDER
PROGRESS FOR ALL PEOPLE. HARVEY
MILK. HAD AN EXUBERANCE FOR
LIFE. AND HE AND THOSE WHO HE
LOVED. I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY
MIND, AND I'M HAPPY LIVING THIS
PART THAT HIS EXUBERANCE AND HIS
LEGACY HAS SAVED MANY LIVES
SINCE HE GRACED THIS EARTH
RECENTLY, I WAS WALKING THROUGH
THE SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT AND IT
WAS A LONG DAY AND I WAS COMING
BACK AND THEY HAVE THIS.
FANTASTIC UH UM. COLLAGE IF YOU
WILL HAVE PICTURES OF HARVEY
MILK'S LIFE, AND I MEAN I WAS
DOG TIRED. IT WAS 10 O'CLOCK AT
NIGHT, AND IT COULDN'T HELP BUT
BRING A SMILE TO ONE'S FACE, SO
I'M I'M GRATEFUL TO THE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FOR SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA FOR CARRYING THIS
RESOLUTION. I BELIEVE THAT HIS
LIFE STILL. TO THIS DAY SAVES
LIVES BECAUSE OF THE EXUBERANCE
AND THE ACCEPTANCE THAT HE
BROUGHT. SO THANK YOU AND FOR
GIVING ME AND THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS
DISHONOR TO SUPPORT THANK YOU,
MISS PAPIN AND SOME WOMEN,
PACHECO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED ON
THE RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER. TODAY I RISE ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA LATINO
LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS IN SUPPORT OF
HR 28. I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO FOR
AUTHORING THIS IMPORTANT
RESOLUTION. TODAY WE COMMEMORATE
HARVEY MILK DAY AND CELEBRATE
THE LIFE AND POLITICAL
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HARVEY MILK,
THE FIRST OPENLY GAY ELECTED
OFFICIAL IN CALIFORNIA AND ONE
OF THE FIRST IN THE UNITED
STATES, ALTHOUGH THIS DAY IS AN
HONOR OF MEMORY, MEMORIALIZING
HARVEY MILK AND A CELEBRATION
FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY, IT
ALLOWS US TO REFLECT ON THE PATH
TOWARDS EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL.
MILK REPRESENTS THE RISE OF
POLITICAL ACTIVISM FOR OUR LGBTQ
PLUS COMMUNITY TO CHANGE THE
BASE OF POLITICS FOR OUR STATE
AND NATION, IN THE WORDS OF
HARVEY MILK, YOU GOTTA GIVE THEM
HOPE, A RESOUNDING RESEMBLANCE
OF WHAT HOPE TRULY MEANS. AN
ABILITY TO BE UNASHAMED AND
UNAFRAID NEVER TO BE SILENCED
UNDER CHALLENGING MOMENTS
BECAUSE HOPE WILL CARRY US
FORWARD. DURING HIS TENURE ON
THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF
SUPERVISOR HE HELPED PASS A GAY
RIGHTS ORDINANCE FOR SAN
FRANCISCO THAT PROHIBITED ANTI
GAY DISCRIMINATION IN HOUSING
AND EMPLOYMENT. YET IN RECENT
YEARS WE HAVE BARED WITNESSED TO
A RECORD BREAKING NUMBER OF ANTI
LGBT ALGAE B TWO. Q. PLUS
MEASURES PROPOSED AND PASSED
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 23 IS A
RECORD SETTING YEAR FOR STATE
LEGISLATION AND RHETORIC.
RHETORIC TARGETING LGBT Q. PLUS
ADULTS AND YOUTH. HARVEY MILK
REMINDS US OF MILKS PLIGHT IN
FIGHTING MISINFORMATION AND
PUSHING AGAINST LGBT ANTI LGBTQ
PLUS LEGISLATION, WHICH
ULTIMATELY ENDED HIS LIFE. DUE
TO HARMFUL CONSERVATIVE BACKLASH
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE RISING
WAVE. I HAVE ANTI LGBTQ PLUS
LEGISLATION ACROSS OUR COUNTRY
OFFERS A STARK REMINDER THAT
CONTINUED PROGRESS TOWARDS
EQUALITY IS NOT ASSURED. WE HAVE
MADE MUCH PROGRESS DUE TO MILKS
CONTRIBUTIONS TO STATE POLITICS
, AND MANY HAVE COME BEFORE US.
IN FACT, WE HAVE THE HONOR OF
HAVING AS LATINO CAUCUS CHAIR,
THE SECOND OPENLY LGBT Q PLUS
MEMBER IN CAUCUS STATE HISTORY,
OUR ASSEMBLY MEMBER CERVANTES
THEREFORE, COLLEAGUES WHILE WE
MUST COMMEMORATE THIS DAY, MAY
WE CONTINUE TO UPLIFT AND
CELEBRATE OUR LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY AND HONOR THE LONG
JOURNEY THAT LGBT Q. PLUS
INDIVIDUALS HAVE STRIVED TO GAIN
RIGHTS? MAY WE FIGHT TOWARDS
ELIMINATING THE BARRIERS THAT
REMAIN? THANK YOU. AND I JOIN MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN DIEGO AND MY
OTHER COLLEAGUES, INCLUDING MY
COLLEAGUE FROM WEST HOLLYWOOD,
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I
VOTE ON HOUSE RESOLUTION, 28.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR PACHECO
AND A SEVEN MEMBER LEE. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE RESOLUTION.
THANK YOU. SPEAKER MEMBERS I
RISE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
NATIVE AMERICAN CAUCUS IN
SUPPORT OF HR 28, WHICH
DESIGNATES MAY 22 IS HARVEY MILK
DAY HARVEY MILK. COMMITMENT TO
SERVING ABROAD CONSTITUENCY IN
ADDITION TO THE L G B T Q. PLUS
FOLKS DRIVE HIS AMBITION AND
VISION FORWARD. HE BELIEVES THE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD REPRESENT THE
PEOPLE, NOT INTERESTS AND ENSURE
EQUALITY FOR ALL WHILE GIVING
THEM THE SUPPORT THEY NEED AS
HIS FINAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER, AND
CRONENBERG AND LGBTQ RIGHTS
ACTIVISTS SAID, WHAT SET HARVEY
APART FROM YOU OR ME, WAS THAT
HE WAS A VISIONARY. HE IMAGINED
A RIGHTEOUS WORLD INSIDE HIS
HEAD. AND THEN HE SAID, ABOUT TO
CREATE IT FOR REAL. FOR ALL OF
US. I'M HONORED TO UPLIFT THE
VISION HARVEY HAD FOR OUR
GOVERNMENT AND ITS ACCURACY SETS
AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL OF US, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE
COMPLEX HISTORY AND STRUGGLES
THAT ALL OF OUR MARGINALIZED
COMMUNITIES IN OUR CONTINUED
FIGHT FOR EQUALITY. I HOPE MY
COLLEAGUES RECOGNIZED THE
SIGNIFICANCE OF HARVEY'S WORK
AND URGENT. I VOTE ON TODAY'S
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR LEE AND SOME MEMBER HE
NHIÀU RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TODAY
ON BEHALF THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATIVE JEWISH CAUCUS AND AS
THE PROUD REPRESENTATIVE OF
HARVEY'S HOME, SAN FRANCISCO AND
THE CASTRO NEIGHBORHOOD. I STAND
IN SUPPORT OF HR 28 TO CELEBRATE
AND COMMEMORATE THE PIONEERING
LIFE AND CAREER OF HARVEY MILK.
BEFORE HARVEY WAS A SAN
FRANCISCAN. HE WAS IN MIDDLE
CLASS JEWISH KID FROM NEW YORK,
WHOSE GRANDFATHER OWNED A SINICA
FOUNDED A SYNAGOGUE. A VISIONARY
, CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS LEADER
. HE BECAME ONE OF THE FIRST
OPENLY GAY ELECTED OFFICIALS IN
THE UNITED STATES WHEN HE WON A
SEAT ON THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS IN 1977. HE WAS
PROUD OF HIS JEWISH IDENTITY. HE
LIVED IN EMBODIED JEWISH VALUES
AND FELTON OBLIGATION TO HEAL
THE WORLD. HE WILL ALWAYS BE
REMEMBERED AS A FIERCE ADVOCATE
FOR GAY RIGHTS, BUT ALSO AS AN
ADVOCATE FOR ALL MINORITY GROUPS
WHO FACE DISCRIMINATION. THEY'RE
NOT RELIGIOUS MILK WAS INSPIRED
BY HIS OWN BRAND OF JEWISH
VALUES AND CULTURE. HE GAVE HIS
PARTNER A GOLD NECKLACE
INSCRIBED WITH THE HEBREW WORD
FOR LIFE. HE JOINED A JEWISH
FRATERNITY IN COLLEGE AND
ATTENDED EVENTS AT THE CAMPUS.
HILLEL A JEWISH COMMUNITY SPACE
AND AMONG CLOSE JEWISH FRIENDS,
HE INTERSPERSED BITS OF YIDDISH,
A JEWISH LANGUAGE FROM EUROPE
INTO CONVERSATIONS. HARVEY MILK,
OPEN DOORS, BROKE DOWN BARRIERS
AND SERVED AS A BEACON FOR BOTH
THE L G B T Q AND THE JEWISH
COMMUNITY. HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO
BOTH COMMUNITIES AND A
CALIFORNIA AS A WHOLE OR WORSE,
SINCERE CELEBRATION AND HONOR. I
ALSO WANT TO SAY A WORD AS A SAN
FRANCISCAN. YOU KNOW, THERE IS A
LOT THAT IS SAID ABOUT THE CITY
AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO.
SOME MISLEADING SOME POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED. ABOUT WHAT I CAN SAY.
UH, WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION. IS
THAT HARVEY MILK REPRESENTED THE
BEST OF OUR CITY. FOR SO MANY
PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY LGBT Q PEOPLE
. THEY'VE COME TO SAN FRANCISCO
BECAUSE IT'S OFFERED A REFUGE.
IT'S OFFERED A PLACE WHERE THEY
CAN BE THEMSELVES. WHERE THEY
CAN LIVE THEIR LIVES LOUDLY WITH
DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND LEAD.
AND IT IS HARVEY MILK WHO HAS
MADE THAT POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY
PEOPLE IN OUR CITY AND AROUND
OUR STATE. AND WE FIGHT FOR SAN
FRANCISCO THAT'S STILL HONORS
THOSE VALUES THAT STILL HONORS
HIS LEGACY AND HONORS HIS
LEADERSHIP AND AT ITS BEST.
THAT'S WHAT SAN FRANCISCO
REPRESENTS AND WHAT IT'S
REPRESENTED TO OUR STATE. SO I'M
VERY PROUD TO STAND HERE AS A
REPRESENTATIVE, THAT CITY ALONG
WITH MY COLLEAGUE, MR PHIL TING
, AND ALSO TO SERVE ALONGSIDE SO
MANY PEOPLE. LIKE MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO LIKE MY COLLEAGUE
FROM WEST HOLLYWOOD WHO HAVE
BEEN ABLE TO, UH, FOLLOW IN THE
COURAGEOUS FOOTSTEPS OF HARRY
HARVEY MILK. AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
HANEY AND SOME MEMBER JACKSON.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
. MR SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF HR 28. UM FOR SOMEONE WHO IS
JUST NOT A, UM L G B T. Q, UM,
ADVOCATE BUT ALSO JUST A
HUMANIST AS A WHOLE. WHOSE
MESSAGE REALLY TRANSCENDS. UM
ALL PEOPLE WHO STRUGGLE FOR THE
DIGNITY AND HUMANITY, UM, OF
THEIR PEOPLE. THE THING THAT
STRIKES ME THE MOST WAS HIS
MESSAGE WHEN HE ENCOURAGED
EVERYONE TO COME OUT. LET YOUR
LOVED ONES NO. THAT THE PEOPLE
THAT THEY LOVE IS ALSO LGBT QUÊ.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU KNOW SOMEONE
WHEN YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP
WITH SOMEONE, AND YOU'VE BUILT
LOVE FOR SOMEONE. IT'S HARD FOR
THEM TO HATE YOU AND THOSE LIKE
YOU. AND THAT TRANSCENDS ALL OF
OUR STRUGGLES. FOR ALL OF US WHO
CONTINUE IN ALL THE CAUCUSES,
WHO CONTINUE TO RAISE THEIR MIX
TO HIGHLIGHT THEIR STRUGGLES. IT
IS THE SAME MESSAGE. THAT WE
NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
CONTINUE TO SHARE THE STRUGGLES
OF OUR PEOPLE. TO OUR FRIENDS.
WHO ARE NOT THE SAME AS US. SO
THAT THEY CAN KNOW THAT SOMEONE
THAT THEY LOVE SOMEONE THAT THEY
RESPECT. ARE GOING THROUGH
STRUGGLES THAT THEY MAY NOT
UNDERSTAND THEMSELVES. BUT
BECAUSE HOPEFULLY BECAUSE
SOMEONE THAT THEY LOVE ARE GOING
THROUGH THAT STRUGGLE. THAT THEY
MAY ALSO PICK UP THE MANTLE. TO
BE ABLE TO JOIN IN THE FIGHT AS
WELL. SO LET US CONTINUE TO
SHARE OUR STRUGGLES. LET US
CONSIDER CONTINUE TO SHARE THE
BARRIERS THAT MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES FACE. SO HOPEFULLY
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE WILL
UNDERSTAND AND GREAT AND GET
GREATER EMPATHY FOR THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH. OUR
PEOPLE HAVE GONE THROUGH. I ASK,
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.
THANK YOU, DR JACKSON AND SEEING
NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING TO
SPEAK ON THE RESOLUTION, SOME
MEMBERS OF OR ANYTHING FURTHER
TO CLOSE. WE'D LIKE THE FIRST
ROLL OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS, VERY
WELL. CLERK WILL OPEN THE WALL
FOR CO AUTHORS. ALL THOSE
MYSTERIO CO AUTHOR, PLEASE
SIGNIFY BY CASTING YOUR VOTE.
CLOSED ROLL. THERE ARE 63 CO
AUTHORS WITHOUT OBJECTION WILL
TAKE A VOICE VOTE ON THE
RESOLUTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR
SAY, AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED.
NAY, THE EYES HAVE IT RESOLUTION
IS ADOPTED. NEXT. THIS IS FILE
ITEM TO 18. BYE, MISS CHIVO. H.
R 34 CLERK WILL READ. HOUSE
RESOLUTION 34 BIAS SOMEBODY
MEMBER SZABO RELATIVE TO PERIOD
POVERTY AWARENESS WEEK, YOU MAY
OPEN ON THE RESOLUTION. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I
RISE TODAY ON BEHALF OF THE
LEGISLATIVE WOMEN'S CAUCUS TO
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF HR 34
RECOGNIZING PERIOD POVERTY
AWARENESS WEEK THIS WEEK, MAY
22ND THROUGH 20/8. THIS IS AN
ISSUE THAT'S INTEGRAL IN THE
LIVES OF OVER 50% OF OUR
POPULATION WHO MEANT STRAIGHT AT
SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES YET WE
DON'T REALLY TALK ABOUT IT. AND
HOW IT IMPACTS OUR LIVES. YES
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AND NATURAL
PART OF LIFE THAT ALLOWS US TO
HAVE THE WONDERFUL CHILDREN THAT
WE LOVE SO MUCH. BUT WE ALSO
DON'T TOUCH ON THE STIGMA AND
THE MULTIPLE ASPECTS OF LIFE
THAT ARE AFFECTED FOR THOSE WHO
ARE MENSTRUATING, PARTICULARLY
WHO, THOSE WHO STRUGGLED TO
AFFORD SANITARY PRODUCTS THAT
ARE NECESSARY TO ACTIVELY
PARTICIPATE IN EVERYDAY
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SCHOOL WORK
AND SPORTS. IT'S R 34 SEEKS TO
HIGHLIGHT THESE ISSUES BY
RECOGNIZING PERIOD POVERTY
AWARENESS WEEK. I DON'T KNOW IF
MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN DOWN TO
THAT AISLE IN THE GROCERY STORE
LATELY, BUT A BOX OF TAMPONS IS
REALLY PRICEY AND HAVING A
BUDGET FOR THAT EVERY MONTH FOR
SOMEONE WHO IS IN POVERTY WHO
STRUGGLES TO GET ENOUGH FOOD TO
PAY RENT. CAN BE DEBILITATING.
IT CAN EASILY BE UP UPWARDS OF
$20 OR MORE A MONTH. AND IF
YOU'RE GETTING THE MINIMUM FROM
CAL FRESH, THAT MEANS IT TAKES
ALMOST YOUR WHOLE ALLOTMENT FOR
THE MONTH, LEAVING NOTHING FOR
FOOD. FURTHERMORE, MORE AND MORE
GIRLS ARE STARTING THEIR PERIOD
EVEN EARLIER AT 10, AND I'VE
HEARD OF GIRLS EVEN STARTING IN
SECOND GRADE. THAT MEANS THAT
THEIR FAMILIES AND YOUNG PEOPLE
ARE TAKING ON THIS FINANCIAL
BURDEN EVEN EARLIER IN LIVES AND
FOR MORE YEARS OVER THEIR
LIFETIME. THIS CAN LEAD TO
MISSING SCHOOL OR WORK IF
THEY'RE OLDER, AND IT MAY LEAD
TO ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS, USING
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS THAT CAN
LEAVE THEM SUSCEPTIBLE TO
INFECTIONS. THE STIGMA AND SHAME
THAT COMES WITH AN INSUFFICIENT
SUPPLY OF SANITARY PRODUCTS ONLY
REINFORCES THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.
AS AN ASSEMBLY WOMAN AND AS A
MOTHER OF TWO GIRLS AND A MEMBER
OF THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATIVE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS. I'M PROUD TO
BRING THIS ISSUE TO THE FLOOR
AND RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR I VOTE
AND REQUEST THAT THE FIRST ROLE
BE OPEN FOR CO AUTHORS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR THIBAULT. AND
SEE, YOU KNOW, MEMBERS WISHING
TO BE RECOGNIZED ON THE
RESOLUTION. WE REQUEST THE FIRST
OPEN FIRST ROLL OPEN FOR CO
AUTHORS CLERK WILL OPEN THE
DOOR. OH AUTHORS ON HR 30. FOR
ALL THOSE WISHING TO BE A CO
AUTHOR, PLEASE SIGNIFY BY
CASTING YOUR VOTE BUTTON.
CLARK WILL CLOSE ROLE. THERE ARE
74 CO AUTHORS WITHOUT OBJECTION

THE RESOLUTION. ALL THOSE IN
FAVOR SAY AYE. ALL THIS PERSON A
THE EYES HAVE IT RESOLUTION IS

SPEAKER MEMBERS. I'D LIKE TO
HAVE YOU JOIN ME IN WELCOMING
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF CAIR,
THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN ISLAMIC
RELATIONS HERE TO SACRAMENTO.
BASSIM AL KARA, WHO IS IN THE
GALLERY.
THANK YOU, MISS REYES. OKAY
MEMBERS WERE BACK ON FILE FOR
SOME BILLS. WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN
WITH FILE ITEM. 1 58 B 12 CLERK
WILL READ ASSEMBLY BILL 12
BUYERS, SOMEBODY, TAHINI AND
OTHERS AND ACTIVATING THE
TENDENCY YOU MAY OPEN ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. MAYBE 12 LIMITS THE
AMOUNT THAT CAN BE CHARGED FOR A
SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR A RENTAL
UNIT TO ONE MONTH'S RENT, MAKING
CALIFORNIA THE 12TH STATE IN THE
COUNTRY TO LOWER HIGH COST
BARRIERS TO HOUSING. CALIFORNIA
HAS THE THIRD LOWEST
HOMEOWNERSHIP RATE IN THE
COUNTRY, WHICH MEANS THAT 17
MILLION FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS
ARE RENTING. CALIFORNIA'S
HOUSING SHORTAGES, CAUSING RENTS
TO SKYROCKET. THE MEDIAN RENT IN
CALIFORNIA HAS INCREASED BY 35%
SINCE 2000 WHILE MEDIAN RENTER
HOUSEHOLD INCOME HAS ONLY
INCREASED BY 6. HIGHER RENTS
RESULT IN HIGHER SECURITY
DEPOSITS UNDER CURRENT
CALIFORNIA LAW, EVERY RENTER CAN
BE REQUIRED TO PAY UP TO THREE
MONTHS RENT FOR THE SECURITY
DEPOSIT. THIS LAW WAS PUT IN
PLACE IN 1977 AND HASN'T BEEN
CHANGED SUBSTANTIALLY IN THREE
DECADES. THIS IS CAUSING THE
AVERAGE SECURITY DEPOSIT FOR A
ONE BEDROOM IN SAN FRANCISCO TO
BE AS MUCH AS $10,000 IN L. A.
THE AVERAGE RENTER CAN PAY AS
MUCH AS $8000. THIS DOESN'T
INCLUDE THE FIRST RENT PAYMENT
THAT MANY RENT RENTERS MUST PAY
BEFORE SECURING A RENTAL UNIT.
THIS MEANS THAT A SECURITY
DEPOSIT CAN BE AS MUCH AS A DOWN
PAYMENT ON A HOUSE IN MANY PARTS
OF THE COUNTRY. A RECENT STUDY
SHOWED THAT 53% OF CALIFORNIA
RENTERS INDICATED THAT THEY'RE
ABLE TO AFFORD THEIR RENT BUT
ARE UNABLE TO GET AN APARTMENT
BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY CAN'T AFFORD
TO PAY THE SECURITY DEPOSIT.
THIS PUSHES MANY FAMILIES,
INCLUDING THOSE WITH INDIVIDUALS
MAKING MINIMUM WAGE, EITHER
FORGO NECESSARY NECESSITIES SUCH
AS FOOD AND UTILITIES, OR
ACQUIRE MORE DEBT IN ORDER TO BE
APPROVED FOR HOUSING. IN SOME
CASES, THEY'RE FORCED TO STAY IN
HOUSING IS INSUFFICIENT, CROWDED
OR UNSAFE IN 2019, THIS
LEGISLATIVE BODY UNANIMOUSLY
VOTED TO SUPPORT LOWERING
SECURITY DEPOSIT TO ONE MONTH'S
RENT FOR VETERANS. THERE'S NO
REASON NOT TO EXTEND THIS SAME
PROTECTION TO EVERY OTHER RENTER
IN THE STATE. IT DOESN'T TAKE
AWAY THE LANDLORD'S ABILITY TO
HOLD THEIR TENANTS ACCOUNTABLE.
THEY CAN STILL RECOVER ANY
DAMAGES IN COURT, AND IT DOESN'T
CREATE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
APPROACH AS LANDLORDS CAN STILL
CHARGE WHAT THEY WANT AND RENT.
OTHER STATES HAVE ALREADY
TACKLED THIS ISSUE. ALABAMA NEW
YORK, MASSACHUSETTS, DELAWARE,
RHODE ISLAND ALL PROHIBIT
LANDLORDS FROM CHARGING MORE
THAN ONE MONTH'S RENT FOR
SECURITY DEPOSIT. IT'S TIME THAT
CALIFORNIA CATCHES UP AND DOES
NOT FALL BEHIND AT A TIME WHEN
ONE OF OUR TOP PRIORITIES FOR
EVERY SINGLE MEMBER IS GETTING
MORE PEOPLE INTO HOUSING. WE
HAVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING WE CAN DO RIGHT NOW TO
LOWER BARRIERS TO ACCESS AND
INCREASE AFFORDABILITY. I LASTLY
WANT TO SAY, I KNOW THERE HAVE
BEEN QUESTIONS ABOUT THE IMPACT
ON SMALL LANDLORDS AND I WANT TO
COMMIT TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
THE OPPOSITION AND ON THAT
PARTICULAR ISSUE IN THE SENATE,
AND WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR I VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
HANEY AND SEEING NO MEMBERS
WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS BILL
CLERK WILL OPEN THE ROLE. ON
THOSE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE. CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLE
TALLY THE VOTES. EYES 51 KNOWS

MEMBERS. WE'RE GOING TO TAKE UP
A SERIES OF BILLS FOR PURPOSES
OF AMENDMENTS. STARTING WITH MR
HANEY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE
FORWARD TO FILE ITEM. 1 60. THIS
IS A B 11 36 FOR AMENDMENTS.
CLERK WILL READ ASSEMBLY BILL 11

CALIFORNIANS FROM ALL WALKS OF
LIFE TO SHARE THEIR VIBRANT
CULTURAL FOOD TRADITIONS WITH

BY ALLOWING THEM TO SELL
$100,000 WORTH OF GOODS PER YEAR

LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM

SPEAKER AND TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
NORTH COUNTY SAN DIEGO FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD. I
WANTED JUST TO HIGHLIGHT HOW
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPORTANT AND
IMPACTFUL THIS PARTICULAR PIECE
OF LEGISLATION. WAS DURING THE
CORE PART OF COVID. WHERE
INDIVIDUALS WITH TALENTS, UH IN
THE KITCHEN, WE'RE ABLE TO
PURSUE A LICENSE WITH SPECIFIC
COUNTIES TO BE ABLE TO COOK,
PROVIDE HOT MEALS AND SELL THEM
NOT ONLY TO MAKE A LIVING DURING
THE SHUTDOWN, BUT ALSO TO
CONTRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO WERE OUT
THERE WORKING AS ESSENTIAL.
EMPLOYEES DURING SOME OF THE
TOUGHEST TIMES DURING COVID. IT
WAS VERY EVIDENT THAT THESE
TYPES OF POLICIES CREATE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR MANY PEOPLE
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA,
PARTICULARLY THOSE WHO ARE
HARDEST HIT DURING COVID, BUT
ALSO THOSE WHO HAVE CHALLENGES
ENTERING INTO THE MAINSTREAM
WORKFORCE IN THIS PARTICULAR
SPACE. THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR

BILL 832 TODAY. THIS IS A SIMPLE
FOLLOW UP TO MY OWN ASSEMBLY
BILL 1 79 FROM 2017, WHICH WAS
APPROVED BY THIS HOUSE AND
SIGNED INTO LAW. MAYBE 1 79
URGED THE GOVERNOR TO MAKE EVERY
EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT
INDIVIDUALS WOULD PROFESSIONAL
EXPERIENCE WORKING IN
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ARE
REPRESENTED AMONG THE VOTING
MEMBERSHIP OF THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION. WHILE
GOVERNOR NEWSOM HAS HEEDED THIS
CALL WITH THE CTC APPOINTMENTS,
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT FUTURE
GOVERNORS WILL FOLLOW HIS
EXAMPLE. AS EXISTING LAW DOES
NOT IMPOSE AN EXPLICIT
REQUIREMENT ON FUTURE GOVERNORS
TO DO SO. A B 832 WILL PROVIDE
THIS GUARANTEE BY MAKING IT A
REQUIREMENT FOR THE GOVERNOR TO
APPOINT AT LEAST ONE INDIVIDUAL
WITH EX PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
IN ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AS A
VOTING MEMBER OF THE CALIFORNIA
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION, AND
DOING SO A B 832 WOULD MERELY
ALIGNED THE CTC WITH THE AIR
RESOURCE BOARD IN THE COASTAL

ASKED FOR AN I VOTE. THANK YOU,
MR MONTI'S AND SENIOR MEMBERS

AND OTHERS. NAPOLI AND ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES SUPPORT MR LOWENTHAL,
YOU MAY OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. I WISH TO ASK
PERMISSION TO USE PROPS.
OBJECTION. VERY PLEASED. TWO
MEMBERS OF VERY PLEASED TO
PRESENT A B 10 13, WHICH WILL
REQUIRE TYPE 48 LICENSEES TO
OFFER FOR SALE. TO CUSTOMERS OR
FOR FREE DRUG TESTING DEVICES,
SUCH AS TEST STRIPS THAT CAN
DETECT THE PRESENCE OF
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES THAT ARE
COMMONLY USED TO SPIKE OR LACE
JEWEL'S DRINK. NOW. DRINK
SPIKING IS AN OLD TERM. WHAT WE
KNOW THAT TODAY AS ROOFING. AND
ROOFING IS A CRISIS GOING ON IN
THIS STATE RIGHT NOW. AH USED TO
BE USED CALLED ROOFING BECAUSE
OF THE DRUG RUPHYLIN, BUT IT'S
NOW KETAMINE. AND GHB, THE DATE
RAPE DRUGS. THAT ARE
INCAPACITATING, PRIMARILY WOMEN
AND LGBT Q. PLUS MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY. AND SEXUAL ASSAULT IS
TAKING PLACE THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AND AN ALARMING RATE.
TRULY ALARMING RATE AND WE HAVE
ALLOWED THIS TO HAPPEN. WHY
PRIMARILY BECAUSE IT IS WOMEN
AND THE LGBT Q PLUS COMMUNITIES
THAT'S TAKING PLACE IF IT WERE
MEN THAT WERE TARGETED BY THIS,
IT WOULD BE A HOLY WAR GOING ON
IN THIS STATE RIGHT NOW. SO WHY
ARE WE NOT PUTTING OFFENDERS IN
JAIL? WELL, THERE ARE A FEW
REASONS FIRST OF ALL, BECAUSE
THESE DRUGS LEAVE YOUR BODY
WITHIN 24 HOURS. IT'S VERY, VERY
DIFFICULT TO DETECT. SECONDLY
BECAUSE THESE DRUGS TOTALLY AND
COMPLETELY INCAPACITATE THERE IS
A LACK OF MEMORY OF EXACTLY WHAT
TOOK PLACE. THEREFORE, WE MUST
BE PREVENTATIVE. TO STOP THIS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. IT'S
LIKE DRUNK DRIVING ONCE.
ACTUALLY THE OFFENSE HAS TAKEN
PLACE. IT'S TOO LATE. WE HAVE TO
STOP IT BEFORE IT HAPPENS. VERY
FORTUNATELY, THESE DRUGS ARE
VERY EASY TO TEST ONCE THEY'RE
IN SOMEBODY'S DRINK AS A MATTER
OF FACT, COMMUNITIES,
UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, THE
U. S MILITARY ARE ALREADY
PARTICIPATING AND PROVIDING TEST
STRIPS. THESE FOR EXAMPLE, TEST
COASTERS. THAT ANY BAR OR
RESTAURANT OR ANYBODY CAN
PROVIDE THESE WHERE CONSUMERS
CAN SIMPLY PUT A FEW DROPS OF
THEIR DRINK ON THERE AND KNOW IF
THE PRESENCE OF THESE DRUGS ARE
THERE. BY THE WAY, THESE DRUGS
HAVE NO COLOR. THEY HAVE NO
TASTE. THERE'S NO SENSE THAT
THAT'S TAKEN PLACE. UM. I WANT
TO SAY THIS AS WELL. I'M A BAR
AND RESTAURANT OWNER IN IN
CALIFORNIA AND HAVE BEEN FOR THE
LAST 20 YEARS. IF THERE IS ANY
CONCERN ABOUT HAVING THESE
STRIPS OUT THERE, I CAN TELL YOU
AS AN OWNER. WE DON'T WANT THIS
IN OUR ESTABLISHMENTS. MOST OF
THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE OPENED THESE
PLACES HAVE PUT THEIR LIFE
SAVINGS INTO THEIR
ESTABLISHMENTS. THE VERY, VERY
LAST THING THAT THEY WOULD EVER
EVER WANT IS TO KNOW THAT THEIR
PLACE FACILITATED SEXUAL ASSAULT
IN ANY WAY. I'M ALSO A FATHER.
AND I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT THE
WORLD WHICH MY GIRLS ARE GROWING
UP INTO. AND I'M CONCERNED THAT
WHEN THEY GO OUT, THEY HAVE A
BULL'S EYE ON THEIR BACK. THAT
IS NOT SAFE FOR THEM TO GO OUT.
IT'S TIME THAT WE STEP UP IN
CALIFORNIA AND DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT. THIS IS VERY SAFE,
VERY SENSIBLE WAY FOR CONSUMERS
TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT GOING OUT.
AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
LOWENTHAL AND SOMEONE. DAVIES,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU. MR
SPEAKER. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
UP. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT WERE
HERE LAST YEAR, WE WERE ABLE TO
ACTUALLY PASS THE BILL THAT TOOK
PARAPHERNALIA AND MOVE THIS INTO
CATEGORY THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY
HAVE TESTING STRIPS NOT ONLY FOR
THE KETAMINE BUT ALSO FOR
FENTANYL, AND IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS OF WOMEN AND MEN
THAT ARE ACTUALLY BEING RAPED
DUE TO THIS POISONING INTO THEIR
DRINK. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT AND
I CAN TELL YOU ALSO WORKING IN
THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS. THIS IS
SOMETHING YOU WANT, BUT KEEP IN
MIND. THIS IS GOING TO HELP
DETER THAT PERSON ACTUALLY DOING
IT, KNOWING THAT IF SOMEONE GOES
AND GIVES YOU A DRINK, AND YOU
HAD THIS TESTING THERE, AND YOU
CAN SHOW THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY
THEM, THEY PROBABLY ARE GONNA BE
COMING AROUND SOON. SO I THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD. I KNOW THERE'S A LOT
MORE WE CAN DO. BUT RIGHT NOW
WE'RE SAVING LIVES. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR DAVIES AND SEEING
NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING TO BE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL, MR
LOWENTHAL. ANYTHING FURTHER TO
CLOSE, VERY WELCOME, WILL OPEN
THE ROLE. THOSE WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. CLERK WILL CLOSE

DECLARING THE URGENCY ERUPTED

OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS. 13 07 IS A
SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL BUILD, IT
SAYS FOR PURPOSES OF SEQUA NOISE
GENERATED BY THE OCCUPANTS OF
RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, SO HUMAN
VOICES SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED
IN TERMS OF IF IT'S GOING TO BE
AN IMPACT ON BUILDING THAT
HOUSING, THE BILL WILL REVERSE
THE BIZARRE PEOPLE AS POLLUTION
DECISION, UH, THAT WAS CREATED
BY THE RECENT APPELLATE COURT
DECISION AT THE UC BERKELEY
PEOPLE'S PARK CASE, THE èC HAS
BEEN TRYING TO BUILD HOUSING
DESPERATELY NEED HOUSING IN AND
AROUND THE CAMPUS FOR YEARS AND
HAS BEEN FOUGHT BY SOME OF THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY WHO REFUSED TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE NEED TO
BUILD HOUSING IN OUR COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE HOMELESS STUDENTS AT UC
BERKELEY RIGHT NOW, WHO
DESPERATELY NEED THIS HOUSING.
WITHOUT THIS BILL, OPPONENTS OF
HOUSING WOULD HAVE A POWERFUL
TOOL TO KEEP THOSE PEOPLE. FROM
MOVING INTO THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
AND AS YOU ALL KNOW, YOU CAN SEE
THE SLIPPERY SLOPE WHERE THIS
TYPE OF DETERMINING FACTOR COULD
LEAD TO. WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING THE
HISTORIC RACIST UNDERPINNINGS OF
OUR LAND USE POLICY HERE FOR
QUITE SOME TIME IN CALIFORNIA,
AND WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS ON
THAT. LET'S NOT LET UM THIS
DECISION THAT WAS MADE HINDER
THAT PROGRESS. THIS BILL HAS
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT NO OPPOSITION
AND PASSED UNANIMOUSLY OUT OF
THE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR MY VOTE.

HOOVER. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE

JUST WANT TO RISE AS A PROUD
JOINT AUTHOR OF THIS BILL. I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING IT FORWARD. UM, I THINK
IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP IN

ACCOLADE IN THE WATER. AND THE

OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. MR SPEAKER MEMBERS.
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
IDENTIFIED DOMESTIC USE AS THE
HIGHEST PRIORITY USE FOR WATER,
BUT THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE
HAS NEVER DEFINED THE DEFINITION
OF DOMESTIC USE. AS A RESULT,
YOU HAVE TO YOU LOOK AT A
PATCHWORK OF COURT CASES AND
REGULATIONS TO TRY TO IDENTIFY
WHAT DOMESTIC USE OF WATER IS.
IT'S SIMPLY MAKES GOOD
GOVERNMENT SENSE AND COMMON
SENSE FOR THIS LEGISLATURE TO
FOLLOW UP AND ACTUALLY IDENTIFY
WHAT WE MEAN BY THE DOMESTIC USE
OF WATER. A YEAR AGO. DURING THE
DROUGHT, WE SAW THAT THE STATE
WATER PROJECT ENDED UP
ALLOCATING ZERO WATER AND THEY
ENDED UP CHANGING AT THE 5% FOR
HEALTH AND SAFETY, PUTTING EVERY
WATER DISTRICT IN A DIFFICULT
SITUATION AND TRYING TO DECIDE
WHAT TO DO AND HOW TO PRIORITIZE
THEIR WATER. WE COULD HAVE BEEN
IN A SITUATION WHERE THERE WERE
HUNDREDS OF LAWSUITS BECAUSE
PEOPLE WERE ARGUING OVER THE
DEFINITION OF THE DOMESTIC USE
OF WATER. THIS BILL JUST MAKES
COMMON SENSE AND TRIES TO BRING
CLARITY TO THAT ISSUE BEFORE WE
GET OURSELVES BACK INTO ANOTHER
ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS IN
COMMITTEE, I ACCEPTED MANY OF
THE AMENDMENTS SUGGESTED BY THE
OPPOSITION. I THINK IT DEALT
WITH MOST OF THOSE. JUST FRIDAY
. ONE MORE AMENDMENT CAME IN AND
AS THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD, IF
IT MOVES OFF THIS FLOOR, I COULD
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE

AMENDMENTS AND THEIR THOUGHTS ON

PEOPLE REMAIN SHINING,
CALCULATING THE COURT'S TIME YOU

VERY MUCH. MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. A B 12 14 PROVIDES A
TWO YEAR SUNSET EXTENSION ON
REMOTE ADULT CRIMINAL COURT
PROCEEDINGS. AND PUTS IN PLACE
ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS THAT
PROTECT THE ACCUSED AND PRESERVE
THE INTEGRITY OF THE COURT. 12
14 INCORPORATES LESSONS LEARNED
OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS BY
ESTABLISHING ESTABLISHING
THOUGHTFUL PROCEDURAL AND
TECHNOLOGICAL GUIDELINES FOR THE
USE OF REMOTE TECHNOLOGY. THE
BILL PER PROHIBITS THE USE OF
REMOTE TECHNOLOGY AND JURY
TRIALS, BUT IT WOULD ALLOW
DEFENDANTS TO APPEAR REMOTELY.
IF THEY SO CHOOSE FOR NON
CRITICAL PORTIONS OF THE TRIAL,
WHERE NO TESTIMONY IS BEING
TAKEN TO ENSURE THE INTEGRITY OF
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND ACCURACY
OF COURT RECORDS. THE BILL
PROHIBITS THE USE OF REMOTE
PROCEEDINGS IF THERE ARE
TECHNOLOGICAL DEFICIENCIES. A B
12 14 IS A MEASURED APPROACH TO
EXTEND REMOTE CRIMINAL COURT
PROCEEDINGS. I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU,

MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TO
PRESENT A B 12 05. THIS BILL
SEEKS TO ADDRESS AN ISSUE WE'RE
SEEING ACROSS THE WEST, WHICH IS
OUTSIDE INTERESTS, HEAD FUNDS
AND FOREIGN NATIONS COMING INTO
OUR STATE BUYING UP FARMLAND
FOLLOWING THE LAND, WHICH HURTS
OUR ECONOMICS AS IT RELATES TO
OUR AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES AND
THEN SELLING THE WATER AT QUOTE
UNQUOTE MARKET RATE, WHICH YOU
CAN IMAGINE IN TIMES OF DROUGHT
IS EXTREMELY HIGH. THIS IS
HURTING CALIFORNIANS WHO PAY THE
RATES ON WATER. IT'S DRIVING THE
PRICE UP OF WATER, AND IT IS
GOING TO MAKE A VERITABLE GOLD
RUSH IN THE WEST AS IT RELATES
TO WATER. SO THIS BILL SIMPLY
ENSURES THAT FOLKS DO NOT COME
IN AND DO THIS PRACTICE. WE'VE
AMENDED THE BILL TO ENSURE THAT
IT DOES NOT RELATE TO THOSE
FARMERS WHO ARE PAID TO USE LESS
WATER IN TIMES WHEN WE NEED THEM
TO DO SO, AND WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK TO ENSURE THAT THOSE
INDIVIDUALS ARE PROTECTED
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT'S AN
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR WATER
MANAGEMENT PROCESS WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

IN ADDRESSING A CRITICAL NEW
FRONTIER OF PRIVACY POLICY. IN
RECENT YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN A
GROWING INTEREST IN ADDRESSING
HEALTH RELATED SOCIAL NEEDS AS A
STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING OVERALL
HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF OUR
CONSTITUENTS. AS A PART OF THIS
MOVEMENT, SOCIAL CARE NETWORKS
HAVE BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF
DELIVERING THE SERVICES THAT
ADDRESS THESE NEEDS. THESE
GROUPS ARE PUBLICLY AND
PRIVATELY FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS
THAT SHARE DATA AND MAKE
REFERRALS TO EACH OTHER TO HELP
PROVIDE CARE ACROSS THE RANGE OF
SOCIAL NEEDS. SOCIAL CARE
INFORMATION IS INFORMATION ABOUT
THE MOST VULNERABLE MOMENTS IN A
PERSON'S LIFE. PEOPLE WHO ARE
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS, FOOD
INSECURITY OR THREAT TO THEIR
PHYSICAL SAFETY OFTEN WANT TO
KEEP THIS INFORMATION PRIVATE.
BECAUSE THIS IS RELATIVELY NEW.
THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO
REGULATION OF PRIVACY IN THE
SOCIAL CARE INFORMATION SPACE.
SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL ADDRESSES
SOCIAL CARE PRIVACY BY DEFINING
A CLOSED LOOP REFERRAL SYSTEM.
THIS BILL, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
TAKES A GIANT STEP TOWARDS

CALIFORNIA. THAT IS AIMED AT

OFFSHORE WIND WHILE ASSURING
THAT WE PROTECT OUR SENSITIVE
MARINE AND COASTAL ENVIRONMENTS
, CULTURAL RESOURCES AND AT THE
SAME TIME, BRINGING TO
CALIFORNIA THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF
HIGH WAGE, HIGH SKILLED JOBS
THAT WILL BE CREATED BY THIS
EMERGING INDUSTRY, WHICH I
BELIEVE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
TRANSFORM THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY
, MUCH AS AS THE AEROSPACE
INDUSTRY DID DURING WORLD WAR
TWO BRINGING OFFSHORE WIND ON
ONLINE IS CRITICAL TO THE
STATE'S ABILITY TO MEET ITS
CLIMATE CHANGE GOALS. CALIFORNIA
ADOPTED AMBITIOUS GOALS FOR
OFFSHORE WIND FIVE GIGAWATTS BY
2030 25 GIGAWATTS BY 2045 AND
THE GOVERNMENT. FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS SINCE ISSUED THE
FIRST LEASES OFF THE CALIFORNIA
COAST FOR FLOATING OFFSHORE
WIND. UH FACILITIES. OFFSHORE
WIND ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
BRING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF HIGH
PAYING AND HIGHLY SKILLED JOBS
OVER 20 YEARS TO THE STATE,
INCLUDING IN DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES SURROUNDING OUR
STATE'S PORTS AND SHIPPING HUBS
AND THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA
MEETING OUR CLIMATE AND CLEAN
ENERGY GOALS REQUIRES MULTI
BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENTS IN
NEW AND EXPANDED PORTS,
CIVILITIES AND TRANSMISSION AND
THE STATE WILL NEED TO DEVELOP
THIS NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE IN
A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
WITH THOROUGH PLANNING AND
TIMELINE, ACCOUNTABILITY.
CALIFORNIA CAN MEET ITS OFFSHORE
WIND GOALS IN A WAY THAT
MAXIMIZES GOOD PAYING AND HIGHLY

PRESENT A B FIVE. THE STATEMENT
SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS ACT IT FEELS

, QUOTE ALL YOUNG PEOPLE,
REGARDLESS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION
OR IDENTITY, DESERVE A SAFE AND
SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH
TO ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL
. THIS BILL MOVES CALIFORNIA
TOWARDS THAT GOAL. I'M PROUD
THAT THIS CRITICAL BILL
SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS CFT
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
, THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, TONY THURMAN
, AND EQUALITY CALIFORNIA THE
BILL IS THE RESULT OF NEARLY A
DECADE OF ADVOCACY TO EQUIP
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF WITH
THE TRAINING AND TOOLS THEY NEED
TO CREATE SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS, INCLUDING
THOSE WHO ARE LGBT Q PLUS AND
WHO MAY BE FACING HER GRASS,
MINT AND LACK OF ACCEPTANCE AT
SCHOOL REJECTION AT HOME OR
DISCRIMINATION IN THE BROADER
COMMUNITY. INDEED I RECALL THAT
IN 2018 IN MY PRIOR ROLE AS
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF EQUALITY,
CALIFORNIA I TESTIFIED IN
COMMITTEE AS THE SPONSOR OF THIS
EFFORT, WHICH WAS AUTHORED AT
THAT TIME BY NOW STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION TONY THURMAN. THE
NEXT YEAR, A SIMILAR BILL PASSED
THE BODY ONCE AGAIN AUTHORED BY
THEN ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S NOW SAN
DIEGO MAYOR TODD GLORIA. THESE
PRIOR EFFORTS WERE DELAYED TO
GIVE THE SPONSORS TÌM. TO ENGAGE
IN BUDGET ADVOCACY TO FUND THE
CREATION OF AN ONLINE TRAINING
PROGRAM, WHICH WE SUCCEEDED IN
DOING IN 2021 AS THE RESULT OF
NEGOTIATIONS WITH GOVERNOR
NEWSOM. THE BUDGET ALLOCATED 3
MILLION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION FOR THE CREATION OF AN
ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM, WHICH
REQUIRED ROBUST CONTENT THAT IS
MIRRORED IN THIS BILL ARE
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF,
INCLUDING CLASSIFIED STAFF. ON
THE FRONT LINES OF ENSURING THAT
ALL CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF
BACKGROUND, ZIP CODE, SEXUAL
ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY,
HAVE A SHOT AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM. THIS OFTEN MEANS
PROVIDING A SAFETY NET AGAINST
THE EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION
AND LACK OF ACCEPTANCE THAT
MEMBERS OF L G TWO PLUS
COMMUNITY, ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH
FACE WHEN L G B T Q PLUS
STUDENTS THAT HAVE SUPPORT IN
SCHOOL. THEIR LIKELIHOOD OF
OVERCOMING DISPARITIES AND
EXCEEDING SUCCEEDING IN LIFE
INCREASES. THAT'S WHY I WAS AT A
QUALITY CALIFORNIA WAS SO
DEDICATED TO IMPROVING SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENTS AND MAKING THEM
SAFER AND MORE INCLUSIVE. THEY
CAN GIVE LGBT Q PLUS KID FROM
THE CENTRAL VALLEY OR COASTAL
COMMUNITY OR THE DESERT, THE
MOUNTAINS OR THE HEART OF YOUR
CITIES, A SHOT AT A BRIGHTER
SUCCESS. IF WE ARE GOING TO
EXPECT OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS AND OTHERS CERTIFICATED
STAFF TO FILL THIS CRITICAL
MISSION, WE HAVE TO GET THEM THE
TOOLS THEY NEED AGAIN. I'M SO
GRATEFUL TO OUR SPONSORS FOR
JOINING US IN ADVANCING THIS
CRITICAL BILL, AND I GRATEFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR EYE BOAT. THANK
YOU, MR ZUCKERBERG. AND SOME OF
OUR MARTUCCI, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED

COLLEAGUE FROM WEST HOLLYWOOD
FOR WORKING WITH THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE, IN PARTICULAR ON THIS
VERY IMPORTANT MEASURE, UM YOU
KNOW, AS CHAIR OF THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE. UH I WANT TO SHARE
THAT NORMALLY. YOU KNOW, WE
OFTEN HEAR FROM TEACHERS THAT WE
DON'T WANT NEW MANDATES. WE
ALREADY HAVE, YOU KNOW SO MANY
CURRICULAR BASED TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS THAT THEY'RE OFTEN
VERY SKEPTICAL AND CONCERNED
ABOUT NEW TRAINING MANDATES
COMING FROM SACRAMENTO COMING
FROM THE STATE CAPITAL. BUT IN
THIS CASE AS THE AUTHOR
INDICATED THAT TEACHERS ARE THE
SPONSORS AND STRONG SUPPORTERS
OF THIS MEASURE, ESPECIALLY IN
THIS TIME WHEN WE'RE SEEING SO
MUCH OUR SCHOOLS BECOMING GROUND
ZERO OF ATTACKS ON LGBTQ YOUTH,
AND SO THAT IS WHY THIS BILL IS
THE EXCEPTION TO THE GENERAL
ROLE THAT WE NORMALLY UH, LOOK
UM. WITH WITH CONCERN AT
NUTRITION TRAINING MANDATES.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY,
GIVEN THIS TIME THAT WE ARE IN
IN OUR NATION'S, UH, SCHOOLS AND
ALL THE BATTLES THAT ARE TAKING
PLACE ACROSS THE COUNTRY SO
STRONGLY SUPPORTED THIS MEASURE.
URGE YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
MERRITT, SOUCI AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN

THANK YOU TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
WEST HOLLYWOOD FOR BRINGING THIS
IMPORTANT BILL FORWARD AS A
PROUD PARENT OF A MEMBER OF THE
LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY. I AM IN
STRONG SUPPORT AND URGE MY
COLLEAGUES TO GIVE THIS AND I
VOTE. WE ALL KNOW THAT IN ORDER
FOR A CHILD TO THRIVE, THEY MUST
HAVE A SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE
ENVIRONMENT. WHETHER THAT IS AT
HOME OR AT SCHOOL OR IN THEIR
COMMUNITY, AND WE KNOW THAT MANY
MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY DO NOT HAVE A STRONG
AND SUPPORTIVE AND SAFE
ENVIRONMENT AT HOME. SOMETIMES
IT IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN A
CHILD COMES OUT OR EVEN WHEN A
CHILD IS QUESTIONING. THE HOME
ENVIRONMENT THAT THEY'RE IN. BUT
ONE THING WE CAN DO AS A STATE
IS ENSURE THAT OUR CHILDREN WHEN
THEY GO TO SCHOOL, IT IS SAFE
AND SUPPORTIVE, AND IT'S A
STRONG, THRIVING ENVIRONMENT FOR
THEM. THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO
IMPORTANT. THIS BILL SEEKS TO
ADDRESS THAT BY ENSURING THAT
THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR EDUCATING
AND CARING FOR OUR CHILDREN AT
SCHOOL RECEIVE CULTURAL
COMPETENCY TRAINING. DESIGNED
WITH OUR LGBTQ, PLUS STUDENTS IN
MIND. AND WITH THAT MEMBERS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MISS WILSON. AND
ASSEMBLYWOMAN CERVANTES YOU
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS. I RISE
IN SUPPORT OF A B FIVE AND THINK
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM WEST
HOLLYWOOD FOR BRINGING THIS
IMPORTANT MEASURE FORD. I'M A
PROUD CO AUTHOR AND A MEMBER OF
THE LGBTQ CAUCUS, OUR COMMUNITY
OR LGBTQ COMMUNITY. WE ALL GO
THROUGH DIFFERENT JOURNEYS OF
SELF DISCOVERY AND COMING OUT.
AND WE DO THAT AT DIFFERENT AGES
IN OUR LIFE. WE MUST DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN, ESPECIALLY IN
THIS MOMENT TO SUPPORT OUR L G B
T Q YOUTH AND THEIR RIGHTS. THE
TRUTH IS, WE STILL HAVE SO MUCH
WORK TO DO IN CALIFORNIA AND
ACROSS OUR NATION. EACH OF US IN
THIS CHAMBER WAS A TEENAGER. AND
WE UNDERSTAND THAT TEENAGERS ARE
GOING THROUGH DIFFICULTIES. AND
. OFTEN TIMES ARE FACED WITH
BULLYING. UH, CHALLENGES THAT I
DIDN'T GO THROUGH. WHAT
TEENAGERS THIS DAY ARE GOING
THROUGH WHAT I HEAR, EVEN FROM
MY NIECE WHO'S ONLY IN FOURTH
GRADE. SO WHEN YOU ADD THAT,
ALONG WITH. THE FEAR OF FACING
DISCRIMINATION OR RIDICULE
BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE. IT IS NO
SURPRISE THAT OUR LGBTQ YOUTH
FACE DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF
BULLYING. IN A HEAVY MENTAL
HEALTH LOAD. SO IT IS ESSENTIAL
THAT A B FIVE IS PASSED TODAY
BECAUSE THIS IS A MISSING PIECE
OF THE PUZZLE AND CREATING A
WELCOMING AND NURTURING
ENVIRONMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS,
REGARDLESS OF HOW THEY IDENTIFY
AND THAT IS WHY I'M PROUD TO BE
A CO AUTHOR ON THIS MEASURE, AND
REALLY, THIS IS THE EMBODIMENT

FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS. THE

SPEAKER. A B 44 IS A
CONTINUATION OF OUR WORK IN THIS
HOUSE ON THE LEGISLATIVE FLOOR
AND DEALING WITH THE CRITICAL
ISSUE AMONGST CALIFORNIA TRIBES
AND THE NATION ON MISSING AND
MURDERED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE. A B
44 WOULD GRANT TRIBAL
GOVERNMENTS THE ABILITY TO
ACCESS THE CALIFORNIA LAW
ENFORCEMENT TRANSMITTAL SERVICE
OR CLEATS. CLASS IS A COMPUTER
NETWORK THAT GIVES POLICE
DEPARTMENTS ACCESS TO NATIONAL
DATABASES THAT PROVIDE VITAL
INFORMATION. CURRENTLY TRIBAL
GOVERNMENT AND TRIBAL POLICE
DEPARTMENTS CANNOT ACCESS KLATZ
AND HAVE TO REQUEST ACCESS TO
CLIPS FROM THEIR LOCAL SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. THIS MAY LEAD TO
LONG DELAYS IN TRIBAL POLICE
OFFICERS RECEIVING IMPORTANT
LIFE SAVING INFORMATION, SUCH AS
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, RESTRAINING
ORDERS, CRIMINAL RECORDS AND
OTHER VITAL INVESTIGATION DATA.
BY PROVIDING TRIBAL GOVERNMENT
AND TRIBAL COURTS. THE ABILITY
TO ACCESS THIS SYSTEM WE CAN
HOPEFULLY START TO MAKE INROADS
ON THE MISSING AND MURDERED
INDIGENOUS PERSONS AND KEEP OUR
PEOPLE SAVED IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. ALL PEOPLE I ASK AND
I URGE OR I VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
RAMOS. AND SOME WOMAN, WALDRON,

THANK YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS.
AS A MEMBER OF THE NATIVE
AMERICAN CAUCUS. I RISE IN

PERMITTING TRIBAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS TO ACCESS
THE CALIFORNIA LAW ENFORCEMENT
TILL THE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
TRIBAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S
DATABASES. THIS HAS CREATED
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH
STAGGERING AMOUNTS OF MISSING
AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS PERSONS
CASES GOING UNSOLVED. A B 44
WILL GREATLY HELP TRIBES PROTECT
THEIR CITIZENS BY SHARING TIME
SENSITIVE INFORMATION AND
CRITICAL SITUATIONS. HELPING
WITH THE PREVENTION RESPONSE AND
SOLVING OF MM I. P CRIMES IS
CRITICAL FOR TRIBES. AS THIS
CRISIS ONLY GROWS. THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT STEP TO ENSURING OUR
NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ARE
SAFE AND CONNECTED TO NON TRIBAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT. RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU,
MISS WALDRON AND SEE MR GARCIA.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL.
THANK YOU. MR SPEAKER. I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK OF THE
AUTHOR. ON THIS MATTER. THIS IS
A COMMON SENSE, BILL. THAT
INTEGRATES THE COMMUNICATION
SYSTEMS BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT
IN INDIAN COUNTRY AND NOT THE
RESERVATIONS. THIS ISSUE GOES
BACK A LONG WAY IN THE 1950
POLICIES OF THIS GOVERNMENT TO
SEPARATE THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES
TO NATIVE PEOPLE, NOT JUST IN
CALIFORNIA BUT THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. THE IRONY OF THIS ISSUE
IS THAT THERE IS A LOT MORE WORK
TO BE DONE. STILL I'M GONNA GIVE
YOU AN EXAMPLE IN OUR DISTRICT
WHERE WE HAVE A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT INDIAN TRIBES THAT WE
GET TO REPRESENT. IN THE EARLY
TWO THOUSANDS. THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENTS THAT WORK ON
RESERVATIONS WHO ARE CERTIFIED
VERY SIMILARLY TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT. OUTSIDE OF
RESERVATIONS WERE BEING PULLED
OVER. UH AFTER RESERVATION FOR
THE IMPERSONATION OF POLICE
OFFICERS FOR THE SIMPLE REASON
THAT THEY HAD VEHICLES WITH THE
LIGHTS AT THE TOP OF THE VEHICLE
AND THAT THEY WERE ATTEMPTING TO
JUST KEEP THEIR RESERVATIONS
SAFE. THIS BILL IN FRONT OF US
IS THE BEGINNING OF A LONG
JOURNEY. TO BE ABLE TO CREATE
GREATER INTEGRATION BETWEEN OUR
PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES ON
RESERVATIONS AND OFF
RESERVATIONS. I HAD THE DISTINCT
PLEASURE TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE
IN 2001 WITH A NATIVE AMERICAN
TRIBE BACK HOME. IT WAS MY FIRST
TIME VISITING SACRAMENTO. THIS
WAS AN ISSUE THAT WAS AT THE
FRONT OF THAT AGENDA THAT VISIT
AND I JUST WANT TO GET
ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTHOR FOR THIS
WORK BECAUSE THIS IS CRITICAL
NOT JUST TO THE ISSUE THAT'S IN
FRONT OF US RELATED TO MISSING
AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
BUT JUST A SIMPLE INTEGRATION OF
COMMUNICATION FOR PUBLIC SAFETY
PURPOSES IN OUR COMMUNITIES,
BOTH ON THE RESERVATION AND OFF
THE RESERVATION. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU, MR
