THIRD OF THEIR MONTHLY INCOME.
THESE UNITS ARE OFTEN IN MIXED
INCOME BUILDINGS WITH MONTHLY H
O A FEES. CURRENT LAW CAPS H O A
. THE INCREASES AT 20%
REGARDLESS OF IF HOMEOWNERS ARE
BELOW IN BELOW MARKET RATE UNITS
ARE NOT. IN SOME INSTANCES. THIS
IS CAUSING THE FEES FOR BELOW
MARKET RATE OWNERS TO INCREASE
SO RAPIDLY THAT IS BECOMING MORE
THAN THEIR ENTIRE MONTHLY
MORTGAGE PAYMENT. THIS CAP OF 5%
IS INTENDED TO BALANCE
AFFORDABILITY AND STABILITY. IT
IS ONLY FOR FUTURE BUILDINGS AND

CLERK WILL READ THE BILL 14 85
BY ISLAM REMEMBER HANEY AND
OTHER SNACK LATE IN THE HOUSING.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HANEY, YOU MAY
OPEN ON YOUR BILL. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OVER
THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE HAS MADE
RESPONDING TO THE STATE'S
HOUSING CRISIS. A TOP PRIORITY.
AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAVE PASSED
NUMEROUS LAWS REQUIRING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO FOLLOW THE
STATE'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOALS
AND ACTUALLY BUILD HOUSING.
UNFORTUNATELY SOME LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND OTHERS HAVE NOT
FOLLOWED STATE LAWS AND HAVE
IGNORED THESE IMPORTANT HOUSING
REQUIREMENTS ENACTED BY THIS
LEGISLATURE. ATTORNEY GENERAL
ROB BONTA HAS MADE HOUSING LAW
ENFORCEMENT A TOP PRIORITY FOR
THE DOJ, TAKING LEGAL ACTION TO
PROSECUTE HOUSING LAW VIOLATORS
BUT IN ORDER FOR THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL TO REPRESENT THE STATE'S
INTEREST IN CASES FILED BY THIRD
PARTIES, THE DOJ IS CURRENTLY
REQUIRED TO PETITION THE COURT
FOR THE ABILITY TO INTERVENE.
THIS REQUIREMENT DELAYS HOUSING
FROM BEING BUILT AND IN SOME
CASES MAKES IT SO THAT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL CAN'T REPRESENT
US AND THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA
IN THESE IMPORTANT MATTERS TO
STRENGTHEN THE STATE'S ABILITY,
ENFORCE OUR HOUSING LAWS AND
GOALS. MAYBE 14 85 GRANTS THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND H C D, THE
AUTOMATIC RIGHT TO INTERVENE AND
PENDING HOUSING CASES FILED BY
THIRD PARTIES. IT IS IMPORTANT
TO NOTE THAT ATTORNEY GENERAL
ALREADY HAS THIS AUTHORITY AND
ENFORCING ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.
AND THIS WILL MAKE SURE THAT THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA ARE AT THE
TABLE AND THAT THE LAW IS
ACTUALLY FOLLOWED AND ENFORCED.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
VOTE. SEEING NO OTHERS WISHING
TO SPEAK ON THIS BILL. THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROLL ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. AH,
THOSE VOTERS DESERVE A VOTE. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE.

MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I'M
PROUD TO PRESENT A B 16 04 A
BILL I INTRODUCED IN RESPONSE TO
THE STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT ON
THE CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITY
GRANT PROGRAM. LAST YEAR. FORMER
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S EDUCATION CHAIR
O'DONNELL AND I REQUESTED AN
AUDIT OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL
FACILITY GRANT PROGRAM AND THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL FINANCING
AUTHORITY CONDUIT REVENUE BOND
PROGRAM. WE REQUESTED THIS AUDIT
AFTER WE LEARNED THAT THE GRANT
PROGRAM FUNDS INTENDED FOR THE
PAYMENT OF RENT AND LEASE
EXPENSES BY CHARTER SCHOOLS,
WHERE, IN A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER
OF CASES PAID TO RELATED PARTY
SUBSIDIARIES OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
TO PAY OFF BONDS AND EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES. IN FEBRUARY, THE
AUDITOR RELEASED FINDINGS
CONFIRMING WHAT WE BELIEVED THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL FINANCE
AUTHORITY IS ADMINISTERING THESE
PROGRAMS WITH FIDELITY TO
EXISTING LAW, BUT EXISTING LAW
IS INADEQUATE TO PROTECT PUBLIC
FUNDS AND PRESERVE PUBLIC
INFRASTRUCTURE. THE AUDITOR
PROPOSED SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
TO STRENGTHEN THE ADMINISTRATION
OF THIS PROGRAM. A B 16 04
ENACTS RECORD SEVERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS ISSUED BY THE
STATE AUDITOR FIRST, THE BILL
WOULD ENSURE THAT LOCAL STUDENTS
ARE PRIORITIZED FOR ADMISSION TO
CHARTER SCHOOLS RECEIVING THESE
GRANTS, REINFORCING THE
PROGRAM'S GOAL OF SERVING LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES. SECOND, THIS
BILL WOULD ENHANCE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST REVIEW IN LINE WITH THE
AUDITOR'S RECOMMENDATIONS BY
REQUIRING THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
FINANCE AUTHORITY TO UPDATE ITS
REGULATIONS AND CONDUCTING
ANNUAL SPOT CHECKED ON A RANDOM
SAMPLE OF GRANT PROGRAM
RECIPIENTS. THIRD THE AUDITOR
RECOMMENDED STRENGTHENING STATE
LAWS TO PREVENT NEGATIVE IMPACTS
FROM CHARTER SCHOOL CLOSURES TO
ACHIEVE THIS AMENDMENTS TAKEN
AND PROPOSED IN PART BY THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE WOULD
REQUIRE AN ENTITY MANAGING A
CHARTER SCHOOL THAT HAS CLOSED
AND WHICH HAS RECEIVED
SUBSTANTIAL FUNDING FROM PROP 98
TO GIVE FIRST RIGHT TO PURCHASE
OR LEASE THAT PROPERTY AT COST
TO ANOTHER EDUCATIONAL PROVIDER,
INCLUDING ANOTHER CHARTER
SCHOOL. ON TUESDAY, BASED ON
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
OPPOSITION. FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, I
AMENDED THIS BILL TO ADD EVEN
MORE ROBUST PROTECTIONS TO
ENSURE THAT THE PRIVATE
BONDHOLDERS WHO FINANCED THIS
FELICITY ABILITIES IN ALL
CIRCUMSTANCES PAID WHAT THEY ARE
DOING IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THESE
CONCERNS AROUND THE BOND MARKET
SIGNALS. THESE PROPOSED REFORMS
, PROMOTE TRANSPARENCY,
ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBLE
USE OF PREP 98 TAXPAYER DOLLARS
TO ENSURE THAT OUR INVESTMENTS
IN EDUCATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE
BENEFITS STUDENTS TODAY AND
FUTURE GENERATIONS OF STUDENTS
TO COME. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST

SOMERVILLE, 12 86 BY SOMEBODY.
BAHAMIAN ACCOLADE IN PHARMACY,
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HANEY, YOU MAY
OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. A B
12 86 IS AN IMPORTANT PATIENT
AND WORKER PROTECTION BILL AND
ESTABLISHED HIS FIRST IN THE
NATION PROTECTIONS FROM LIFE
THREATENING MEDICATION ERRORS AT
UNDERSTAFFED AND UNSAFE
PHARMACIES. THE BILL REQUIRES
MANDATORY REPORTING OF ALL
MEDICATION ERRORS TO A THIRD
PARTY ENTITY APPROVED BY THE
CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF
PHARMACY. IT ALSO ADDRESSES THE
INADEQUATE STAFFING AND UNSAFE
WORKING CONDITIONS AND MANY
COMMUNITY CHAIN PHARMACIES THAT
CAN LEAD TO MEDICATION ERRORS.
CHAIN PHARMACIES IN THE
PHARMACIST WHO WORK FOR THEM ARE
INSTRUMENTAL IN DELIVERING CARE
TO CALIFORNIANS. THERE YET
ALARMING MEDICATION. ERRORS IN
THIS SETTING HAVE RECENTLY BEEN
MADE PUBLIC, INCLUDING ERRORS
THAT HAVE LED TO HOSPITALIZATION
OR DEATH. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN
REPORTS OF UNSANITARY CONDITIONS
IN THESE PHARMACIES, INCLUDING
VERMIN, INFESTATIONS,
INSUFFICIENT STAFFING,
UNSANITARY CONDITIONS OR LACK OF
AUTONOMY TO MAKE CLINICAL
DECISIONS IN THE BEST INTERESTS
OF THE PATIENT. CAN LEAD TO AN
INCREASE IN MEDICATION AIRS.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO
REQUIREMENT UNDER CURRENT LAW
FOR PHARMACIES TO TRACK
MEDICATION ERRORS OR TO CONSIDER
THE PHARMACY WORKING CONDITIONS
THAT LEAD TO MEDICATION ERRORS.
THEREFORE, MEDICATION ERRORS ARE
WIDELY UNDER REPORTED AND
UNKNOWN WHILE HAVING DETRIMENTAL
EFFECTS ON PATIENTS TO STOP
DANGEROUS PHARMACIES. A B 12 86
WILL REQUIRE MANDATORY REPORTING
OF MEDICATION ERRORS. TO ALLOW
FOR ROBUST EVALUATION OF THE
CAUSES OF MEDICATION ERRORS. IT
ALSO GIVES LICENSED PHARMACY
STAFF AUTONOMY OVER THEIR
WORKING CONDITIONS SO THAT THEY
CAN BETTER PROVIDE PATIENT CARE
. I WANT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR
THAT WE HAVE NARROWED THE
CLOSURE PIECE OF THIS BILL TO
ONLY CONDITIONS THAT MEET THE
HIGHEST STANDARD OF THE THREAT.
OF DEATH, ILLNESS OR REPARABLE
HARM TO PATIENTS OR STAFF, ONLY
THE PART OF THE PHARMACY THAT IS
IMPACTED BY THAT VERY HIGH
STANDARD WILL BE AFFECTED, AND
THEY HAVE TO REOPEN IMMEDIATELY.
NO ONE SHOULD BE WORKING UNDER
THOSE CONDITIONS AND PATIENTS
SHOULD BE NOT BE RECEIVING CARE
IF THE THREAT OF ILLNESS, DEATH
OR IRREPARABLE HARM IS PRESENT.
BUT I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT
THESE AMENDMENTS DO NOT ADDRESS
ALL OF THE OPPOSITION'S CONCERNS
, AND I'M FULLY COMMITTED TO
NARROWING IT EVEN FURTHER. AS
THIS MOVES FORWARD, WE RECEIVED
SOME LANGUAGE THAT WAS
CIRCULATED THIS WEEK WHERE WE
DIDN'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
FULLY WITH RESOLVE THIS WITH THE
OPPOSITION. YOU HAVE MY
COMMITMENT, AND I'VE HEARD FROM
MANY OF YOU TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
DO NOT CLOSE PHARMACIES THAT WE
KEEP THEM OPEN AND THEN WE ALSO
MAKE SURE THAT THESE DANGEROUS
CONDITIONS ARE ADDRESSED. WE
BELIEVE WE CAN DO THAT AND COME
TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
OPPOSITION BASED ON SOME OF THE
LANGUAGE THAT IS NOW CIRCULATING
AND WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE AND THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE FORWARD THIS
IMPORTANT WORKER AND PATIENT
PROTECTION BILL ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PELLERIN, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING. I AM
SUPPORTING A B 12 86 TODAY,
THANKS TO THE AUTHOR'S
COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH THE OPPOSITION TO ENSURE
SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT PHARMACIES
FROM UNNECESSARILY CLOSING
BECAUSE PATIENT ACCESS TO
MEDICATION IS CRITICAL AND CAN
LITERALLY MEAN LIFE OR DEATH. SO
THANK YOU TO THE AUTHOR FOR
CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE
OPPOSITION. SEE NO OTHERS
WISHING TO COMMENT ON THIS BILL
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ANY ANYTHING
ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? THANK
YOU SO MUCH AGAIN. THANK YOU TO
MY COLLEAGUES AND WE WANT TO
MOVE THIS FORWARD. THERE'S A LOT
IN THIS BILL THAT IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT FOR PATIENT AND WORKER
PROTECTION. IT WILL BE A
LANDMARK BILL TO PROTECT OUR
RESIDENTS FROM MEDICATION AIR WE
WANT TO KEEP PHARMACIES OPENED
THIS BILL SUPPORTED BY THE
PHARMACIST ASSOCIATION, WHO, OF
COURSE, WANT TO KEEP PHARMACIES
OPEN IT SUPPORTED BY THE
INDEPENDENT PHARMACIES. IT ONLY
AFFECTS CHAIN PHARMACIES, AND WE
ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH
THEM EVEN FURTHER TO ADDRESS
THAT PIECE OF THE BILL. AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THIS BILL
FORWARD. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MURATSUCHI MAY
OPEN ON YOUR BILL. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MEMBERS. TODAY I RISE
TO PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL 9 38 TO
CLOSE THE WAGE GAP FOR TEACHERS
AND ESSENTIAL SCHOOL STAFF.
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE ARE
FACING A WORKFORCE CRISIS, WITH
MANY TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES UNABLE TO AFFORD TO
LIVE IN THE COMMUNITIES THAT
THEY WORK IN. IN PARTICULAR,
THERE IS A GROWING WAGE GAP
BETWEEN TEACHERS AND COMPARABLY
EDUCATED COLLEGE GRADUATES AND
OTHER FIELDS. DATA SHOWS THAT
TEACHERS EARN 23.5% LESS THAN
THEIR SIMILARLY EDUCATED PEERS.
NEARLY TWO THIRDS OF YOUNG
ADULTS SURVEYED RECENTLY CITED
PAY AS ONE OF THE TOP THREE
REASONS WHY THEY WERE NOT
INTERESTED IN TEACHING. WE NEED
TO CLOSE THIS WAGE GAP TO GET
MORE YOUNG PEOPLE TO ASPIRE TO
BECOME EDUCATORS. THE SPELL WILL
ALSO REQUIRE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
REPORT THEIR PROGRESS IN CLOSING

THE BILL IS PASSED. WE'RE GOING

FOR THE CLERK WILL READ. SOME
PEOPLE 14 63 BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
LOWENTHAL AND OTHERS RELATED
PERSONAL INFORMATION.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LOWENTHAL, YOU
MAY OPEN ON YOUR BILL. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
PROUD TO RISE AND SUPPORT OF A B
14 63 IN 2019, THE CALIFORNIA
STATE AUDITOR DECLARED THAT
LEGISLATIVE ACTION IS NECESSARY
TO PROTECT CALIFORNIA'S PRIVACY
RIGHTS AND HAD SEVERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS. HOWEVER IN
THREE YEARS NOTHING HAS HAPPENED
. AND NOW WITH OTHER STATES,
PROPOSING LAWS THAT ARE NOW
FOCUSING ON OUT OF STATE
VISITORS. SEEKING REPRODUCTIVE
AND GENDER FAIR AFFIRMING
MEDICAL CARE. IT IS VITAL THAT
WE IMPLEMENT PRIVACY MEASURES
REGARDING AUTOMATIC LICENSE
PLATE READERS OR AL PRS. 14 63
DOES THREE THINGS TO ENSURE
PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE. NUMBER
ONE. REQUIRES THE PUBLIC
AGENCIES OPERATING ALPS TO
PERFORM AN ANNUAL COMPLIANCE ON
IT. AS RECOMMENDED BY THE STATE
AUDITOR, Tð. PURGES GEOLOCATION
DATA NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE
INVESTIGATION OF ANY CRIME AFTER
30 DAYS. THIS IS RECOMMENDED BY
THE STATE'S LEADING ALPS,
SUPPLIER, FLOCKS, SAFETY AND IN
LINE WITH THE CALIFORNIA STATE
AUDITOR RECOMMENDATION TO LIMIT
RETENTION TO THE SHORTEST
POSSIBLE TIME AND NUMBER THREE.
IT FORBIDS THE SHARING OF
GEOLOCATION DATA WITHOUT OF
STATE AND FEDERAL AGENCIES
WITHOUT A VALID COURT ORDER
SUBPOENA WARRANT. L P. R S ARE
JUST ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL
SURVEILLANCE TOURS THAT TOOLS
THAT OUT OF STATE POLICE AND
ANTI ABORTION GROUPS HAVE
AVAILABLE TO THEM. THERE IS NO
UNIFORM ORDINANCE OR RULES ON
HOW LONG LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN
KEEP THIS DATA RIGHT NOW. IT
RANGES FROM 14 DAYS TO AS LONG
AS THEY WANT. I SHOULD ALSO
POINT OUT OTHER STATES ARE
GRAPPLING WITH THIS. SOME STATES
PURGED THE DATA AFTER A FEW
HOURS BY LAW. AND OTHERS HOLD IT
FOR LONGER. JUST AN EXAMPLE OF
HOW DANGEROUS IT IS RIGHT THERE
RIGHT NOW FOR PEOPLE SEEKING
REPRODUCTIVE CARE, THE STATE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA INTRODUCED
LEGISLATION THAT COULD SUBJECT
WOMEN WHO HAVE HAD ABORTIONS TO
THE DEATH PENALTY. AND FOR THOSE
IN THIS BODY THAT THINK THAT NO
ONE WOULD SHARE DATA WITH STATES
LIKE THESE IN JANUARY. JANUARY
OF THIS YEAR, IT WAS DISCOVERED
THAT THE VALLEJO POLICE
DEPARTMENT WAS ALLOWING ACCESS
TO OUT OF STATE LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCIES IN STATES LIKE ARIZONA.
CAN'T THIS TEXAS ALL STATES
HOSTILE TO WOMEN SEEKING
REPRODUCTIVE CARE? AND L G B T
Q. PLUS COMMUNITIES WE MUST
PROTECT CALIFORNIANS. UH IN
STATE OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS
SEEKING REPRODUCTIVE AND GENDER
AFFIRMING MEDICAL CARE IN
CALIFORNIA. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR VOTE SEEING NO OTHERS
WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS BILL.
I'M SORRY. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
SEELEY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN SUPPORT
TODAY OF THIS BILL. I SPOKE ON
IT IN COMMITTEE. I DO NOT
BELIEVE IN A POLICE STATE AND I
DO NOT BELIEVE IN A SURVEILLANCE
STATE AND THERE SHOULD BE SOME
APPROPRIATE LIMITS ON THE
ABILITY TO COLLECT AND RETAIN
OUR PRIVATE INFORMATION OR
INFORMATION ABOUT THE
WHEREABOUTS AND LOCATIONS. THE
PROBLEM, THOUGH, IS THAT IS THAT
LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS NOT YET
PROPOSED. WHAT THE REASONABLE
AMOUNT OF TIME TO HOLD. THIS IS
THIS BILL PROPOSES 30 DAYS. I'M
NOT SURE THAT 30 DAYS IS THE
RIGHT DATE. I THINK IT MIGHT BE
A LITTLE LONGER. CHP I SAW NOTED
IN THEIR LETTERS THAT 60 DAYS IS
THEIR POLICY. SO I WOULD JUST
ENCOURAGE THE LAW ENFORCEMENT
COMMUNITY TO ENGAGE ON THIS BILL
AND COME UP WITH THE WHAT THE
RIGHT BALANCE IS, BUT THERE
NEEDS TO BE SOME SAFEGUARDS. SO
WITH THAT WILL BE SUPPORTING IT
TODAY, BUT I LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ALONE.
THOUGHT WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
UM I SIMPLY AM VERY PROUD THAT
THIS BILL DOES HAVE BIPARTISAN

BECOME THE PAY EAT. SOME OF THEM
ARE NOT APPLYING FOR THESE

APPLYING FOR THEM. BUT THEY'RE
NOT MAKING SURE THOSE RESOURCES
GET TO THE YOUNG PEOPLE. THEY'RE
TREATING IT LIKE A REVENUE
STREAM. IT'S NEARLY $50 MILLION
A YEAR. AND FEDERAL BENEFITS FOR
CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE WHO HAVE
LOST THEIR PARENTS THAT IS NOT
GOING TO THEM. WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IS WHAT MANY OTHER STATES
MARYLAND, ILLINOIS. NEBRASKA.
HAVE DECIDED IS THAT THOSE

BUILT 2 52 BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
HOLDING AN ACCOLADE IN THE
COLLEGIATE ATHLETES.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HOLDEN, YOU MAY
OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. GOOD EVENING
AFTERNOON MEMBERS. ASSEMBLY BILL
252 IS AN EXTREMELY
COMPREHENSIVE BILL THAT WILL
PROVIDE BASIC PROTECTIONS AND
FAIR INCOME. THAT OUR COLLEGE
ATHLETES DESERVE. THIS BILL
CREATES A STATE PROGRAM PAID BY
COLLEGE ATHLETIC REVENUE TO
IDENTIFY AND ENFORCE SAFETY
STANDARDS ACROSS ALL DIVISIONS
CERTIFIED COLLEGE ATHLETIC
ATHLETE AGENTS ENSURE
TRANSPARENCY IN RECRUITING AND
ENFORCE THE ACT. MAYBE 252
PROVIDES WHISTLEBLOWER
PROTECTION. AND MANDATORY
REPORTING OF SUSPECTED SAFETY
VIOLATIONS. IT ENSURES THAT
ATHLETES AT COLLEGES WITH HIGH
ATHLETIC REVENUES ARE NOT STUCK
WITH SPORTS RELATED MEDICAL
EXPENSES. IT ESTABLISHES N C
TWO, A DIVISION ONE ATHLETE
COMPENSATION THAT USES NEW
ATHLETIC REVENUE. NEW REVENUE TO
INCENTIVIZE DEGREE COMPLETION.
ATHLETES WOULD NEED TO GRADUATE
TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION.
SUSPENDS ANY D ONE OR DIVISION
ONE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR FOR
CUTTING A SPORT. MITIGATES
ACADEMIC SUFFERING FROM HIGH
SCHOOL ATHLETE ATHLETIC TIME
DEMANDS WITH A SIX YEAR
SCHOLARSHIP. PROTECTS FUNDING
FOR ALL SPORTS. AND REQUIRES
TITLE NINE COMPLIANCE
TRANSPARENCY. MEMBERS I
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS
CONCERNED. THE CURRENT LANGUAGE
IN THE BILL MAY HAVE CREATED
SOME UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AS
IT RELATES TO TITLE NINE AND
WOMEN'S SPORTS. YESTERDAY I HAD
AN OPPORTUNITY AND THE PRIVILEGE
OF WORKING WITH MEMBERS OF THE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS TO CREATE
AMENDMENTS THAT NOT ONLY
ADDRESSES THEIR CONCERNS, BUT
ALSO STRENGTHENS THE BILL AND
CREATES THE FIRST OF THE NATION
PIECE OF LEGISLATION THAT
ACKNOWLEDGES THIS YEAR'S 50TH
ANNIVERSARY OF TITLE NINE. THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. WOULD ALLOW
CALIFORNIA TO BECOME THE FIRST
STATE IN OUR UNION TO ESTABLISH
A COLLEGE ATHLETE DEGREE
COMPLETION FUND THAT DISTRIBUTES
THE NEW REVENUE EQUALLY BETWEEN
MALE AND FEMALE COLLEGE
ATHLETES, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE
SPORT. MEMBERS. THIS IS TRULY
EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN. CALIFORNIA
WOULD BECOME THE FIRST STATE TO
STRENGTHEN TITLE NINE BY
REQUIRING COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES TO EVALUATE AND
PUBLISH ITS COMPLIANCE OF TITLE
NINE ON A WEBSITE. THE BILL
ALLOWS OUR COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES TO USE ADDITIONAL
FUNDS TO ENSURE THAT NON REVENUE
GENERATING SPORTS SPORTS SUCH AS
OUR OLYMPIC SPORTS ARE
MAINTAINED AND CAN RECEIVE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING WITHOUT
COUNTING. IT HAS REVENUE TO BE
DIRECTED TO THE DEGREE
COMPLETION FUND. IN ADDITION,
AMENDMENT. AN ADDITIONAL
AMENDMENT WOULD PROHIBIT
DIVISION ONE COLLEGES FROM
CUTTING ANY SPORT OR FUNDING FOR
ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIPS. FINALLY
THIS BILL WILL ALLOW THE
CALIFORNIA STATE LEGISLATURE AND
CALIFORNIANS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SET AND ENFORCE SAFETY STANDARDS
, INCLUDING THE PREVENTION OF
SEXUAL ABUSE. WELL I UNDERSTAND
THE N C TWO. A HAS PUT OUT
GUIDELINES THAT THEY WANT TO
EXPLORE IN 2024. AROUND THIS
AREA. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS
THAT GUIDELINES ARE NOT LAW. AND
THE N C TWO A DOES NOT ENFORCED
GUIDELINES. MOREOVER, N C TWO A
GUIDELINES FAILED WOEFULLY SHORT
OF THIS BILL. THIS BILL GIVES
CALIFORNIA AN OPPORTUNITY TO
GUARANTEE OUR COLLEGE ATHLETES,
CRUCIAL PROTECTION AND FAIR
COMPENSATION. THE GENERATIONS OF
ATHLETES IN OUR STATE HAVE BEEN
DENIED. ALSO WANTED CORRECT SOME
MISINFORMATION. THAT IS MAKING
ITS WAY AROUND. CONCERNING THIS
BILL. THE METHODS THAT THIS BILL
REQUIRES ALL COLLEGES IN
CALIFORNIA TO COMPENSATE THEIR
ATHLETES. REMEMBERS. THERE ARE
658 COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
THAT OPERATE IN OUR STATE. THIS
BILL FOCUSES ON ONLY 26 SCHOOLS
, WHICH HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO
COMPETE IN THE N C TWO, A
DIVISION ONE. AND ARE THE AND
ARE THE COLLEGES WITH THE
HIGHEST ATHLETE? ATHLETIC
REVENUE. OF THE 20/6 DIVISION
ONE COLLEGES, ONLY NINE OR CSU
SCHOOLS AND SEVEN OR UCS.
MEMBERS IF YOU STANFORD EQUAL
PAY FOR WOMEN AND PROTECTING
COLLEGE ATHLETES FROM SEXUAL
ABUSE. IF YOU STAND FOR HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF COLLEGE ATHLETES,
IF YOU STAND FOR FAIR ATHLETE
COMPENSATION WHILE PRESERVING
ALL SPORTS AND INCREASING
GRADUATION RATES, AND IF YOU
STAND FOR STRENGTHENING TITLE.
NINE TO HELP IN DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST FEMALE COLLEGE ATHLETES,
THEN VOTE AYE ON A B 252. I
ASKED YOU NOT TO IGNORE THE
PHYSICAL, ACADEMIC AND ECONOMIC
EXPLOITATION OF COLLEGE
ATHLETES. I ASKED YOU NOT TURN
YOUR BACK ON CALIFORNIA COLLEGE
ATHLETES. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE. A SIMILAR NUMBER OF
ARAKAN. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
I HAVE HAD EXTENSIVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE AUTHOR,
AND I WANT TO THANK HIM FOR
ENGAGING IN THOSE CONVERSATIONS.
OPENLY, UM AND WITH AN OPEN MIND
UH, YOU KNOW, MANY OF US ON THIS
FLOOR ARE FORMER ATHLETES. IT
WAS OUR EXPERIENCE ON THE SPORTS
FIELD IN POOLS WHEREVER WE
COMPETED THAT TAUGHT US THE
SKILLS THAT GOT US THROUGH LIFE.
MANY OF US PARENTS ARE WATCHING
OUR KIDS GET THOSE SKILLS. SO I
THINK A LOT OF US IF NOT ALL OF
US, UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF
BEING AN ATHLETE. WE ALSO KNOW
THAT EVEN TODAY, WOMEN ATHLETES
DO NOT GET THEIR FAIR SHAKE.
TITLE NINE TOOK WOMEN ATHLETES
TO A PLACE THAT I THINK WOMEN AT
THE TIME NEVER DREAMED POSSIBLE.
A PLACE WHERE WOMEN COULD
COMPETE IN EQUAL NUMBERS TO MEN.
BUT WE STILL KNOW THAT WOMEN'S
LOCKER ROOMS AREN'T AS NICE. WE
DON'T GET THE SAME TREATMENT,
THE SAME FACILITIES. THERE'S
STILL ISN'T EQUITY. AND SO THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF ENGAGING IN WITH
THE AUTHOR WHERE, HOW DO WE USE
THIS BILL TO MOVE WOMEN FORWARD?
HOW DO WE USE THIS BILL TO
ENSURE THAT THE STATUS QUO ISN'T
GOOD ENOUGH. BUT WE TAKE A STEP
TOWARDS EQUITY. AND IN THOSE
CONVERSATIONS, WHICH HAPPENED
OVER A SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME,
AND I THINK THE AUTHOR AND I
WOULD HAVE LIKED THE AUTHOR
COMMITTED TO ME. THAT HE WOULD
NOT ONLY ENSURE PROTECTION OF
TITLE NINE AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO
ENSURING THAT THESE EXCESS FUNDS
WOULD COME AFTER TITLE NINE
COMPLIANCE. BUT IN ADDITION, THE
EXCESS FUNDS WOULD BE CLEARLY
DEFINED AS EQUALLY SPLIT FOR MEN
AND WOMEN. THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY
BE THE FIRST TIME WE SEE EQUAL
PAY FOR WOMEN. THERE AREN'T MANY
PLACES WHERE THAT'S TRUE, Y'ALL.
AND THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT. I
KNOW THE LANGUAGE IS NOT THERE.
EVEN THE AMENDMENTS WE'VE SEEN.
DON'T GET US ALL THE WAY THERE.
I KNOW THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT
LANGUAGE. THAT'S A MARKET RATE,
AS MOST OF US KNOW. MARKET RATE
FOR WOMEN IS LOWER THAN MARKET
RATE FOR MEN. AND SO I JUST
WANTED TO POSE A QUESTION TO THE
AUTHOR. THAT'S A COUNTER
DIRECTION. UM SO I JUST WANTED
TO, YOU KNOW, HEAR FROM YOU
AGAIN. I KNOW THAT YOU'VE
COMMITTED TO ME, BUT THAT YOU
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE
LANGUAGE TO ENSURE NOT ONLY
EQUITY AND TITLE NINE COMING
BEFORE ALL ACCESS FUNDS BUT THAT
THAT EXCESS FUNDS GO EXACTLY
EQUALLY TO MEN AND WOMEN, NO
EXCEPTION, AND NOBODY'S GOING TO
DEFINE MARKET RATE FOR WOMEN IN
A WAY THAT IS LOWER THAN MEN.
THANK YOU. YES. NOT ONLY THAT, I
THINK WOULD MY COMMITMENT WAS
WAS TO STRIKE FROM THE BILL.
REFERENCES TO MARKET RATE AND IT
RELATES TO A MECHANISM FOR
SETTING OUT THE REVENUE BECAUSE
IT IS CLEAR THAT THERE IS A
POTENTIAL FOR THAT, TOO. PLAYED
DISPROPORTIONATELY WITH CERTAIN
SPORTS AND MAYBE CERTAIN GENDER
OF SPORTS. AND SO IS MY
COMMITMENT TO TAKE THAT OUT OF
THE BILL AND THE AMENDMENTS THAT
I READ THAT I INDICATED WERE
PART OF OUR CONVERSATION.
FOCUSING ON PARODY. EXCESS
REVENUE THAT COMES IN WOULD BE
DISTRIBUTED AMONGST ALL GENDERS
AND ALL SPORTS AND THAT WE WOULD
MAKE THAT COMMITMENT. TO YOU
HERE AGAIN TODAY. THANK YOU. AND
SO TODAY, I WILL BE SUPPORTING
THE BILL. AND I KNOW THAT
ANOTHER CONCERN WE HAD, WHICH
THE AUTHOR ALSO ENSURED WOULD BE
ADDRESSED WAS THAT IT WOULDN'T
CUT FUNDS FROM SPORT PROGRAMS. I
KNOW HE'S A FORMER COLLEGE
ATHLETE, HE WANTS TO SEE THOSE
SPORTS PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO
THRIVE WITH INFLATION AND ALL.
UM AND SO WE WILL SEE THOSE
PROGRAMS THRIVE. WE WILL SEE
TITLE NINE COMPLIED WITH AND WE
WILL MAKE. WE WILL FINALLY SEE
AN EXAMPLE WHERE PERHAPS WOMEN
WILL ACTUALLY GET EQUAL PAY FOR
EQUAL WORK. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
BLANCA RUBIO, WHO ARE RECOGNIZED
THANK YOU. UM I RISE IN, UH, HAS
ITALIAN ASIAN OF THIS BILL I'VE
HEARD FROM A LOT OF THE UCS, UH,
ABOUT THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY
HAVE WITH THIS BILL. UH SO, BUT
I GUESS THE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION
FOR THEM IS THE BILL STILL
FORCES THE UNIVERSITIES,
ESPECIALLY PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
TO DIG INTO THEIR LIMITED FINDS
NANCY'S AND USE INSTITUTIONAL
FUNDS IF NEEDED TO SUBSIDIZE
DEGREE COMPLETION FUNDS. THIS
MEANS UNIVERSITIES WOULD HAVE TO
FIND THE MONEY SOMEWHERE. AND
WHEN WE'RE IN A STATE OF A
DEFICIT, AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S
HAPPENING TO THE UNIVERSITIES,
THERE WAS AN ARTICLE ABOUT
TRYING TO INCREASE AH TUITION
BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ENOUGH FUNDS
. WHERE ARE THE UNIVERSITY IS
GOING TO GET THESE FUNDS AND I
WOULD LIKE THAT ADDRESSED? I
WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THE BILL
TODAY, BUT I KNOW THAT MY
COLLEAGUE UM, FROM OUR LINDA IS
WILLING TO WORK WITH THAT. BUT I
WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GET TO
A PLACE WHERE WE'RE SUPPORTING
IT WITH THE COMMITMENT OF WHERE
ARE WE GOING TO FIND THE MONEY?
WE'RE IN A BUDGET CRISIS RIGHT
NOW. AGAIN. THE ARTICLE THAT
CAME OUT SAID THAT THE U. C S
ARE GOING TO RAISE TUITION
BECAUSE THEY'RE TRYING TO FILL
THE GAP. IF THAT'S WHERE WE ARE
. THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE IS NOT A
PRIORITY. SO IF YOU WE IMPLEMENT
THIS BILL, WHERE IS THAT MONEY
GOING TO COME FROM? SO THAT'S MY
MAJOR CONCERN. THERE'S OTHER
THINGS THAT MY COLLEAGUE
ADDRESSED, BUT FOR ME, UM, MY
COLLEGES. AND UNIVERSITIES ARE
ALREADY STRUGGLING. AND SO WITH
THIS BILL, UM THE MONEY IS NOT
THERE. PLUS I AM CONCERNED THAT
THE WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE GOING TO
BE, UH, LEFT BEHIND. THANK YOU,
RIGHT. I WILL TELL YOU AND AGAIN
. WHAT YOU'VE DESCRIBED IS IN
THE BILL. WE'RE ONLY TALKING
ABOUT DIVISION ONE PROGRAMS
DIVISION ONE SCHOOLS. SO THAT'S
26 OUT OF 658 UNIVERSITIES AND
COLLEGES IN CALIFORNIA. WE MADE
IT CLEAR IN THE BILL THAT THE
BASELINE TO OPERATE FROM IS FROM
THE 21 22 CALENDAR YEAR BECAUSE
THAT'S WHEN WE SAW THE GREATEST
NUMBER OF REVENUE COMING INTO
THE STATE. SO FOR THE DEGREE
COMPLETION FUND TO HAVE ANY
REVENUE TO GO INTO, IT WOULD
HAVE TO BE EXCESS ABOVE THAT
LEVEL. NOW, AS YOU POINTED OUT,
THERE IS A $31 BILLION DEFICIT
THEY WERE DEALING WITH THIS
YEAR. SO WITH THAT, IN PLACE IS
HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THERE WILL
BE ANY EXCESS REVENUE FOR THE
DEGREE COMPLETION FUND, SO THAT
WOULD BE ACTUALLY NO MONEY THAT
WOULD GO INTO THE DEGREE
COMPLETION FUND BECAUSE OF THAT
VERY POINT. ONLY EXCESS ABOVE A
CERTAIN BASELINE THAT WAS
ESTABLISHED AT THE TIME WHEN OUR
REVENUE WAS AT A HIGHER PLACE.
BUT ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES
CERTAINLY OPEN TO FURTHER
CLARIFYING THAT, BUT THAT'S WHAT
THE BILL CURRENTLY CALLS OUT.
LATER. GALLAGHER, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED YES. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. UM I'M VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THIS BILL. AND.
TO ME. I THINK IT'S AN EXAMPLE
OF JUST CLASSIC GOVERNMENT
OVERREACH. NOW THIS BODY
HISTORICALLY. A COUPLE OF YEARS
AGO IN A BIPARTISAN WAY. ALLOWED
FOR IMAGE NAME AND LIKENESS. UM
YOU KNOW, TO PAY COLLEGE
ATHLETES WHERE THEY'RE BEING
THEIR IMAGE, THEIR NAME THEIR
LIKENESSES BEING USED. UM THAT
WAS GROUNDBREAKING. I THINK THAT
WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. UH
UM. AND NOW ONLY TWO YEARS IN,
WE'RE TRYING TO MICROMANAGE HOW
THIS WORKS AT OUR UNIVERSITIES
AND OUR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS, AND
WE'RE CREATING A WHOLE NEW
BUREAUCRACY. THAT'S GONNA
DICTATE. YOU KNOW, FOR INSTANCE,
THAT HALF OF THE REVENUES I
MEAN, HOW DO WE EVEN COME TO
THAT NUMBER THAT HALF OF THE
REVENUES HAVE TO GO HERE? AND
NOW WE'RE HAVING NEW AMENDMENTS
THAT ARE SHOWING UP OR ME TALKED
ABOUT. THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN THE
BILL YET. UM SO IT'S HARD TO
EVEN ANALYZE WHAT THOSE ACTUALLY
DO AND WHAT WE'RE HEARING. FROM
THE UNIVERSITIES. THIS IS MY
FEAR, BUT IT'S NOT JUST MY FEAR.
IT'S WHAT THE ATHLETIC
DEPARTMENTS ARE TELLING US IS
THAT THIS IS GOING TO THIS
MICROMANAGEMENT. THIS SORT OF
DICTATING FROM ON HIGH. HOW THIS
SHOULD BE DONE IS GOING TO LEAD
TO LESS ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES
FOR PEOPLE. UM. AND I FEEL LIKE
WE ARE GOING TO FAR DOWN THIS
ROAD. COLLEGE SPORTS ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE AMATEUR. THEY ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT THE LOVE OF
THE SPORT. AND NOW WE'RE GOING
DOWN AND START TO DICTATE HOW
PEOPLE SHOULD BE PAID AND WHAT
SHOULD BE PAID AND YOU KNOW,
FROM ON HIGH WHEN WE HAVE MY
WHEN I WOULD SAY LOOK, THE
PEOPLE IN THIS BODY VERY WELL
MEANING KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE,
BUT DON'T RUN ATHLETIC PROGRAMS
AT COLLEGES. AND DON'T KNOW THE
INS AND OUTS OF HOW TO MAKE THAT
ALL WORK AND IT SURELY YOU HAVE
VIABLE SUSTAINABLE PROGRAMS. AT
THE END OF THE DAY. I WANT
OPPORTUNITIES. FOR OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE TO COMPETE. TO BE PART OF
A TEAM. AT A COLLEGE WHETHER
THAT'S A MONEY MAKING
OPPORTUNITY OR NOT. IT'S ABOUT
THAT. IT'S ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT
YOU GET FROM PLAYING A TEAM
SPORT. IT'S ALSO A VOLUNTARY
DECISION. TO DECIDE WHETHER OR
NOT TO PLAY COLLEGIATE SPORTS.
IT IS ADDITIONAL OBLIGATIONS AND
. IT'S TOUGH. I'VE KNOWN A LOT
OF COLLEGE ATHLETES. IT'S NOT
EASY TO DO. BUT IT'S SOMETHING
THEY DO BECAUSE THEY LOVE THE
SPORT THAT THEY PLAY. AND WE'RE
HEARING FROM THE PEOPLE WHO DO
THIS, THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO
THOSE SPORTS THAT DON'T GET AS
MUCH ATTENTION THAT DON'T MAKE
AS MUCH REVENUE GOING AWAY. THAT
IT COULD MEAN LESS OPPORTUNITIES
FOR WOMEN ATHLETES. WE SHOULD BE
LISTENING TO THAT INSTEAD OF
HASTILY JUST PASSING THIS
THROUGH TODAY. PASSING OVER TO
THE SENATE AND HOPING THAT SOME
CHANGES ARE GOING TO GET MADE.
THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT WAY. FOR US
TO GO ABOUT POLICY AND I DON'T
THINK I QUITE FRANKLY, I'M
MYSELF. I DON'T THINK THAT'S
WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING AT THIS
POINT IN TIME. LET'S ALLOW THESE
ATHLETIC PROGRAMS TO CARRY OUT
THE IMAGE NAME AND LIKENESS.
AUTHORITY THAT WE'VE GIVEN THEM.
AND LET'S SEE HOW THAT'S WORKING
OUT BEFORE WE START CREATING
ANOTHER BUREAUCRACY TO DICTATE
HOW THIS SHOULD WORK. AND MAYBE
DO, I THINK VERY LIKELY DO MORE
HARM. THEN. GOOD REGINO VOTE.
THANK YOU, DR WEBBER, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I HAVE QUESTIONS FOR
THE AUTHOR WITHOUT OBJECTION.
THANK YOU. UM SO I'M SITTING
HERE LISTENING TO THE DEBATE,
AND NOW I'M GETTING VERY
CONFUSED ABOUT THE BILL. SO CAN
YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN AGAIN? UM
WHAT THIS DEGREE COMPLETION FUND
IS WHAT THE PURPOSE OF IT IS,
AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY
NUMBERS OR ANY THOUGHTS OF HOW
MANY STUDENTS WOULD BE
REALISTICALLY UTILIZING THESE
FUNDS. THANK YOU. THE DEGREE
COMPLETION FUND IS DESIGNED TO
HELP THOSE STUDENT ATHLETES,
QUITE FRANKLY, WHO UM, ARE THERE
UNDER SCHOLARSHIP? WHAT COULD BE
INJURED OR HURT OR HARMED IN
SOME WAY WHILE THEY'RE
COMPETING. THEY COULD A LOT OF
TIMES. INJURIES HAPPEN WHILE
YOU'RE IN PRACTICE. AND THOSE
PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS HAVE THE
POTENTIAL OF LOSING THEIR
SCHOLARSHIP. THERE ARE INSTANCES
. I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT MY TIME
IN COLLEGE. I SAW IT. WE SEE IT
TODAY. WERE AN ATHLETE. LOVES
THE SPORT. THERE THERE AS A
STUDENT ATHLETE, AND THIS BILL
IS TO CREATE PROTECTION FOR
STUDENT ATHLETES. THERE ARE
UNIVERSITIES WHO HAVE ABUSED
HAVE HAD COACHES ABUSING
PLAYERS. WE'VE SEEN IT. IT'S
BEEN IN THE HEADLINES. STUDENT
ATHLETES ARE PUTTING IT ON THE
LINE. AND YES, THEY HAVE TO
COMPETE IN SCHOOL, BUT THEY ALSO
HAVE TO COMPETE ON THE PLAYING
FIELD OR ON THE COURT. AND AT
THE END OF THE DAY. THE
UNIVERSITIES ARE MAKING BILLIONS
. COACHES OR MAKING TENS OF
MILLIONS. AND IT WAS ONLY SEEMS
APPROPRIATE, GIVEN THE FACT THAT
SOMETIMES THESE YOUNG PEOPLE MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO THE FINISH
LINE ON THEIR ACADEMIC SIDE.
DEALING WITH HEALTH ISSUES,
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES AND OTHER
ISSUES THAT THERE SHOULD BE A
DEGREE COMPLETION FUND IN PLACE
TO ALLOW THOSE INDIVIDUAL
STUDENTS. TO BE ABLE TO FINISH.
IF THEY DON'T THEY AREN'T ABLE
TO FINISH ON THE ON THE COURT.
THEY'RE ABLE TO AT LEAST GET
THEIR DEGREE. AND THAT'S WHERE
THESE FUNDS WERE DESIGNED TOUR
AND IN TERMS OF ACTUAL NUMBERS
WILL HAVE TO PULL SOME TOGETHER
FOR YOU. I DON'T HAVE THANK YOU.
SO, ESSENTIALLY, WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING IS THAT THESE ARE STUDENT
ATHLETES WHO HAVE GOTTEN AN
ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP. WHO MAY
HAVE BEEN INJURED AND NOW NO
LONGER HAVE THEIR ATHLETIC
SCHOLARSHIP. BUT THESE FUNDS ARE
TO ALLOW THEM TO COMPLETE THEIR
COLLEGE DEGREE SO THAT THEY
DON'T ESSENTIALLY LOSE OUT ON
NOT ONLY NOT BEING ABLE TO PLAY
SPORTS ANYMORE, BUT ALSO LOSE
OUT ON THEIR EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL. CORRECT
OKAY, THANK YOU. IF I COULD AND
WITH THE AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THAT WE'RE TAKING
IS TO MAKE SURE IN THAT DEGREE
COMPLETION FUND. IT IS PURITY.
SO EVEN IF YOU HAVE FOOTBALL AND
BASKETBALL THAT ARE GENERATING
ALL OF THE INCOME, NOTHING
CHANGES AS FAR AS THAT INCOME
BEING MADE AVAILABLE FOR THE
OPERATION OF ALL SPORTS. THE
DEGREE COMPLETION FUND IS THE
PIECE THAT GOES BEYOND IT
CREATES PARITY BETWEEN MEN AND
WOMEN'S SPORTS ATHLETES SO THAT
THEY HAVE THE EQUAL AMOUNT THAT
WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL
ATHLETES. SEEING NO OTHERS
WISHING TO SPEAK ON THE BILL.
MR. HOLDEN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? YES, MR SPEAKER, MADAM
SPEAKER. UM I THINK I WOULD
CLOSE WITH ALIGNING MYSELF WITH
AN INDIVIDUAL WHO I DON'T MY
VALUES DON'T ALWAYS ALIGN WITH
SOMEONE WHO. ADDRESSED THIS VERY
ISSUE. THROUGH A COURT CASE IN
2021. AUSTIN VERSUS THE N. C
TWO, A ANTITRUST CASE. THE US
SUPREME COURT RULED 90 THAT THE
N C TWO A ATHLETE COMPENSATION
RULES VIOLATE FEDERAL ANTITRUST
LAW. IN HIS CONCURRING OPINION.
CONSERVATIVE U S. SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE BRETT KAVANAUGH STATED.
THE BOTTOM LINE. IS IT? THE N C
TWO A. AND ITS MEMBER COLLEGES
ARE SUPPRESSING THE PAY OF
STUDENT ATHLETES WHO
COLLECTIVELY GENERATE BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS IN REVENUE FOR OUR
COLLEGES EVERY YEAR. THOSE
ENORMOUS SUMS OF MONEY FLOW TO
SEEMINGLY EVERYONE EXCEPT THE
STUDENT ATHLETE. COLLEGE
PRESIDENTS, ATHLETIC DIRECTORS,
COACHES, CONFERENCE
COMMISSIONERS AND THE N C TWO, A
EXECUTIVES TAKEN SIX AND SEVEN
FIGURE SALARIES. COLLEGES BILL
LAVISH NEW FACILITIES. BUT THE
STUDENT ATHLETE WHO GENERATES
THE REVENUES, MANY OF WHOM ARE
AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND FROM LOWER
INCOME BACKGROUNDS END UP WITH
LITTLE OR NOTHING. IT IS NOT
CLEAR HOW THE N C TWO A CAN
LEGALLY DEFEND ITS REMAINING
COMPENSATION RULES. A B 2 52.
WITHIN THESE REMAINING
COMPENSATION RULES, WHICH
DISPROPORTIONATELY HARM COLLEGE
ATHLETES AND LIKELY VIOLATE
ANTITRUST LAWS IN A WAY THAT
PRESERVES. ALL SPORTS AND ABIDES
BY TITLE NINE. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THE CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROAD. ALL THOSE GO
TO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE
VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO
VOTE.
MR HOLDEN MOVES THE CALL. WE ARE
GOING TO NOW MOVE ON TO ITEM
NUMBER 47 A B. 5 TO 4. THE CLERK
WILL READ. SOME PEOPLE 5 24 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S QUICKSAND
ACCOLADE TO EMPLOYMENT.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PIXIE MAY OPEN
ON THE BILL. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. MAYBE 5 24 WOULD
PROHIBIT DISCRIMINATION AGAINST
FAMILY CAREGIVERS AT WORK. IN
OTHER WORDS, THE BILL PROHIBITS
EMPLOYERS FROM TREATING A WORKER
ADVERSELY BASED ON ASSUMPTIONS
OR STEREOTYPES BASED ON THEIR
FAMILY. CAREGIVING
RESPONSIBILITIES. THE BILL
SIMPLY REQUIRES THAT WORKPLACE
POLICIES DO NOT DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE
FAMILY CAREGIVERS. IT DOES NOT
REQUIRE EMPLOYERS TO GIVE
PARENTS OR FAMILY CAREGIVERS ANY
SPECIAL TREATMENT OR
ACCOMMODATION. BIAS AGAINST
CAREGIVERS GENERALLY STEMS FROM
AN ASSUMPTION ABOUT HOW
CAREGIVERS WILL ACT. SUCH AS
THAT MOTHERS WILL PRIORITIZE
THEIR FAMILY OVER WORK. OR
FATHER SHOULD NOT TAKE TIME OFF
TO CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN.
THESE ASSUMPTIONS AFFECT
PERSONNEL DECISIONS, INCLUDING
GETTING FURLOUGHED, TERMINATED,
HIRED AND PROMOTED AND DOING
SUCH HARM FAMILIES. THIS TYPE OF
DISCRIMINATION AFFECTS EMPLOYEES
AT EVERY INCOME LEVEL RACE,
GENDER AND INDUSTRY. WORKING
MOMS, THOUGH, ARE MORE LIKELY TO
EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF
DISCRIMINATION WITH LOW WAGE
WORKERS AND PARTICULARLY PEOPLE
OF COLOR BEING
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED. 70%
OF WORKING MOMS SAY THEY HAVE
FACED THIS TYPE OF
DISCRIMINATION. THIS BILL WOULD
ENSURE THAT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
ANYMORE. THIS IS ALREADY LAW IN
ALASKA, DELAWARE, MINNESOTA, NEW
YORK AND OVER 200 JURISDICTIONS
AROUND THE COUNTRY. NEARLY ONE
THIRD OF AMERICAN WORKFORCE IS
ALREADY COVERED BY A CAREGIVER
ANTI DISCRIMINATION LAW, AND
IT'S TIME FOR CALIFORNIA TO
CATCH UP. I'VE BEEN WORKING
DILIGENTLY WITH THE OPPOSITION
OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS,
TRYING TO NARROW DEFINITION AND
TO ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY
UNINTENDED UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS, UH OF THIS
BILL, BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS, WE KNOW THAT THIS TYPE OF
DISCRIMINATION EXISTS. WE ALSO
KNOW THAT WHEN EMPLOYERS ARE
EDUCATED ABOUT THIS BIAS THEY
DON'T DO IT. AND THAT'S WHAT
THIS BILL IS ULTIMATELY ABOUT IS
TO ENSURE THAT OUR EMPLOYERS ARE
EDUCATED AROUND THE BIAS THAT
EXISTS. PEOPLE SHOULD BE JUDGED
BASED ON THEIR OUTPUT. THE
QUALITY OF THEIR WORK, NOT
WHETHER FAMILY CAREGIVING
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE PLEASE
STAND WITH ME AND DOZENS OF
WOMEN'S RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS.
ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADVOCATE FOR
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN, INCLUDING
THE CALIFORNIA WOMEN'S LAW
CENTER, THE CHILDCARE LAWCENTER
WOMEN'S FOUNDATION OF CALIFORNIA

THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I RISE TO
PRESENT A B 15 17, WHICH WOULD
CODIFY THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
AND SUPPORT PROVIDED TO LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES BY THEIR
SPECIAL EDUCATION, LOCAL PLAN
AREAS OR SELL PAHS. FOR OVER 40
YEARS, SELFIES HAVE COLLABORATED
WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION TO OFFER PROGRAMS,
SERVICES AND ASSISTANCE TO
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES,
THEIR FAMILIES AND LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES. HOWEVER
THERE IS CURRENTLY NO STATUTORY
REQUIREMENT THAT SCHOOL DISTRICT
THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS CONSULT
WITH THEIR SELF AS WHEN
DETERMINING SPECIFIC ACTIONS TO
SUPPORT OUTCOMES. FOR STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES. MAYBE 15 17
WOULD GUARANTEE THE INTERESTS OF
THESE STUDENTS ARE SUFFICIENTLY
REPRESENTED BY SPECIFICALLY
REQUIRING SUFFERS TO BE PART OF

SCHOOL READINESS, HELPING
IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR INDIVIDUALS
TO HAVE BETTER ECONOMIC MOBILITY
AND SUCCESS IN LIFE AND ACTUALLY
ADDRESS THIS CRIMINAL JUSTICE.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE A QUALITY EARLY
EDUCATION EXPERIENCE ARE LESS
LIKELY END UP IN THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM. TWO YEARS AGO WE
IMPLEMENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN CALIFORNIA, UNIVERSAL
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN. THIS
BILL STRENGTHENS THAT PROGRAM
AND CLARIFIES ONE OMISSION IN
THE FIRST DRAFT. THIS BILL DOES
THREE THINGS ONE. THERE ARE SOME
CUTE CONFUSION ABOUT THE SUMMER
BABIES ELIGIBILITY FOR KIDS WHO
ARE BORN THIS SUMMER MONTHS, SO
SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE
IMPLEMENTED FOR ALL FOUR YEAR
OLDS. SOME HAVE ASKED FOR SOME
CLARIFICATION WHETHER THIS WOULD
APPLY TO TWO KIDS WHO ARE BORN
THIS SUMMER. SO THIS ADDRESSES
THAT TECHNICAL ISSUE SECONDLY,
AS SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE
IMPLEMENTING THIS, WE'RE FINDING
ALL THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
THERE'S SOME CHALLENGES FINDING
PEOPLE TO SERVE AS THE STAFF,
NOT JUST TEACHERS BY THE PART
PROFESSIONALS. THIS WOULD DELAY
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NEW RATIOS
FOR TWO YEARS, HELPING DISTRICTS
RAMP UP THESE PROGRAMS AND MAKE
SURE THEY WORK FOR ALL OF
CALIFORNIA. AND LASTLY, THIS
WOULD ENSURE THAT THOSE PART
PROFESSIONALS RECEIVE EDUCATION
FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
MAKE SURE THEY GET THEIR THEIR
CREDENTIALS. THIS IS A BIGGER
PIECE OF THE EARLY EDUCATION
PUZZLE. WE KNOW THAT TK IS ALSO
IN TANDEM WITH CHILDCARE, WHICH
WE KNOW IS OUR OUR TOP. PRIOR IN
THE BUDGET, WHICH OUR BUDGET
SHARE FROM SAN FRANCISCO IS
WORKING ON SO WE WILL SEE OUR
INVESTMENTS IN THAT WE TAKE UP

THE AUTHOR AND THE ASSEMBLY
LEADERSHIP JOINED IN MAKING
CHILDCARE, THE ASSEMBLY'S ONE
PRIORITY LEADING UP TO THE
GOVERNORS MAY REVISION SOMETHING
FOR WHICH I AM EXTREMELY
GRATEFUL. HOWEVER THE MAY
REVISION CONTINUED TO DELAY A
NEW MYTHOLOGY THAT REFLECTS THE
ACTUAL COSTS PROVIDED BY ONE
TIME WAGE INCREASES FOR WORKERS
. UNDERFUNDED REINVESTMENT
REIMBURSEMENT RATES AND CUT
SLOTS FOR A CHILD CARE SYSTEM
THAT IS ON THE BRINK OF
COLLAPSE. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE
INTENT OF THIS PROPOSAL EVEN A
MINOR EXPANSION OF TK WILL
EXASPERATE CONDITIONS BY WHICH
OUR CHILDCARE PROVIDERS ARE
DANGLING BY A THREAD. FAMILIES
WILL HAVE AN EVEN MORE DIFFICULT
TIME ASSESSING AND AFFORDING THE
CARE THAT THEY NEED IF THE
PROGRAM EXPANSION IS FURTHER
ACCELERATED. WITHOUT THE
ASSEMBLY, JOINING THE SENATE AND
WINNING THE DAY ON CHILD CARE,
CHILD CARE RATES, MYTHOLOGY,
WORKER PAY AND FAMILY FEES WILL
FURTHER RISK SHUTTING DOWN
FACILITIES ENTIRELY WHEN WE'RE
ALREADY LOST 30% OF OUR WORKERS
AND PROVIDERS. GIVEN THESE
CIRCUMSTANCES, I MOST
RESPECTFULLY CANNOT SUPPORT THIS
BILL UNDER THE BUDGET UNDER

PEOPLE 86 BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
QUICKSAND. ACCOLADE IN CIVIL LAW
BE OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. A
THRIVING DIVERSE PRESS IS THE
BACKBONE OF A HEALTHY AND
VIBRANT DEMOCRACY. WHEN
NEWSROOMS ARE FULL PUBLIC REAPS
THOSE REWARDS. AND COMMUNITIES
WITHOUT LOCAL JOURNALISM SUFFER
CONSEQUENCES FROM DECLINING
CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND LOWER VOTER
TURNOUT TO HIGHER TAXES AND
INCREASED CORRUPTION. AND I KNOW
MANY OF YOU COME FROM LOCAL
GOVERNMENT AND YOU'VE SEEN THIS
WITH YOUR OWN EYES. WHEN YOU'RE
MEETINGS ARE NOT COVERED WHEN
THE PUBLIC IS NOT INFORMED ABOUT
THE WORK THAT YOU DO IT IMPACTS
OUR DEMOCRACY. AND OVER THE LAST
10 YEARS WE'VE LOST 100. PAPERS
IN CALIFORNIA 100 PUBLISHERS,
THERE'S BEEN A MASSIVE DECLINE
IN THE HEALTH OF THE NEWSROOMS
ACROSS THIS COUNTRY. AND IN
CALIFORNIA. AND THAT IS WHY I'VE
AUTHORED A B 886 TO REQUIRE TECH
PLATFORMS TO PARTICIPATE IN
ARBITRATION WITH JOURNALISM
PUBLISHERS TO SETTLE UPON A FAIR
AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION. IN
RETURN FOR ADVERTISING REVENUE
PLATFORMS ARE COLLECTING BECAUSE
THEY FEATURE JOURNALISTS
CONTENT. PUBLISHERS DESERVE TO
BE PAID A JOURNALISM USAGE FEE
RELATIVE TO HOW MUCH OF THEIR
CONTENT IS FEATURED ON A
SPECIFIC PLATFORM. AND WE PUT
PROVISIONS IN THIS BILL TO
ENSURE THAT 70% OF THOSE FUNDS
GO TO THE JOURNALISTS. TO ENSURE
THAT THE NEWSROOMS ARE FULL.
WE'VE WORKED VERY CAREFULLY.
WITH THE UNIONS WHO REPRESENT
JOURNALISTS TO ENSURE THAT THERE
IS TRANSPARENCY AROUND THESE
FUNDS. AND I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD
CRITIQUES ABOUT THIS BILL. OH
THIS IS GOING TO MAKE THE HEAD
HEDGE FUND PAPERS RICHER. I'M
NOT INTERESTED IN A DEBATE
BETWEEN RUPERT MURDOCH AND MARK
ZUCKERBERG. WHAT I'M INTERESTED
IN IS ENSURING THAT OUR LOCAL
PUBLISHERS ARE LOCAL PAPERS HAVE
A ROBUST NEWSROOM TO HOLD PEOPLE
LIKE US OUR FEET TO THE FIRE.
FREE PRESS IS IN OUR
CONSTITUTION. AND IT IS AT RISK
RIGHT NOW. THAT IS WHAT THIS
BILL IS ABOUT. THE CALIFORNIA
JOURNALISM PREVENTION
PRESERVATION ACT WILL NOT SAVE
JOURNALISM, BUT IT WILL PROVIDE
A SUPPORT FOR NEWS OUTLETS AND
JOURNALISTS AT A MOMENT WHEN THE
STAKES COULD NOT BE HIGHER. I
HAVE WORKED VERY COLLABORATIVELY
WITH THE OPPOSITION ON THIS
BILL. AND SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE
SEEN ONE OF THE COMPANIES SAID
YESTERDAY. THEY WON'T ALLOW NEWS
ON THEIR PLATFORM IF THIS BILL
PASSES THEY WANT TO TAKE THEIR
BALL AND GO HOME. IN THE FACE OF
REGULATION. THEY WANT TO CENSOR
JOURNALISTS. TO ME, THIS IS A
EMPTY THREAT. BECAUSE THESE ARE
COMPANIES THAT HAVE MADE
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WHILE OUR
NEWSROOMS ARE SHUTTING DOWN
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND I KNOW THAT THIS BILL IS
STILL AT WORK IN PROGRESS. I'VE
TALKED TO MANY. WELL, ALL OF YOU
ABOUT THIS BILL. I'VE TALKED TO
MY COLLEAGUES ABOUT ETHNIC MEDIA
, BLACK MEDIA TRIBAL PRESS.
JAPANESE PRESS. AND I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A SEAT AT
THE TABLE. THEY ARE IMPORTANT
VOICES IN THEIR COMMUNITY. AND
WE HAVE PUBLICATIONS LARGE AND
SMALL ACROSS THE STATE WHO ARE
SUPPORTING THIS BILL. THAT THE L
A BLADE, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES
THE SEVERANCE ISCO CHRONICLE,
SMALL PUBLICATIONS LARGE
PUBLICATIONS BECAUSE THEY WANT
TO ENSURE THAT THEY CAN DO THEIR
JOB. THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE
TO BE A WORK IN PROGRESS. BUT A
FREE PRESS IS FOUNDATIONAL TO
DEMOCRACY AND RIGHT NOW OUR
DEMOCRACY NEEDS IT NOW, MORE
THAN EVER. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN IPHONE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
LOW AND THOUGHT YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW PROUD I
AM OF MY COLLEAGUE FROM OAKLAND
TO BRING THIS FORWARD IF WE
THINK ABOUT THE FOUNDATIONS OF
OUR DEMOCRACY IF WE THINK ABOUT
ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE
INTERNET OVER THE LAST FEW
DECADES, ALL OF YOU MAY REMEMBER
THE CHALLENGES WITH MUSIC AND
NAPSTER AND DOWNLOADING DIGITAL
CONTENT AND HOW THOSE FIELDS
WERE ABLE TO GET THEIR ARMS
AROUND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ON
THE INTERNET PROTECTING THOSE
THINGS. WE SAW THAT WITH ALL
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONTENT ON
THE INTERNET. BUT FOR WHATEVER
REASON, IT DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY
TO NEWSROOMS. AND MY COLLEAGUE
FROM OAKLAND IS ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT WHILE WE SEE THESE MEGA
GIANT TECH OUTFITS. GAINING THE
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS AND
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE SEE OUR
LOCAL NEWSROOMS EVISCERATED, AND
IT'S TOUGH TO BE A MEMBER OF THE
ASSEMBLY WITHOUT HAVING A
VIBRANT LOCAL PRESS. IT'S VERY,
VERY DIFFICULT AND THE ONLY WAY
THAT WE CAN CHANGE THAT IS BY
STANDING UP FOR LOCAL JOURNALISM
AND NOT HAVE THEIR THEIR CONTENT
BEING STOLEN BECAUSE THAT'S
WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY. I'M I'M
VERY PROUD TO STAND UP FOR THIS.
I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A
WORK IN PROGRESS. AND I ASKED,
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SELLY. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE AS A
CO AUTHOR OF A B 886. THE VERY
FIRST AMENDMENT TO OUR
CONSTITUTION PROTECTS THE RIGHT
TO A FREE PRESS. IT'S NO MISTAKE
THAT THAT'S IN THE FIRST
AMENDMENT. OUR FOUNDING FATHERS
UNDERSTOOD THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
FREE AND VIBRANT PRESS TO HOLD
THE GOVERNMENT. TO HOLD US
ACCOUNTABLE AND TO KEEP CITIZENS
INFORMED. OUR REPUBLIC. DOES NOT
WORK. IF CITIZENS ARE IN THE
DARK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT. TAKE A
LOOK AROUND. HOW MANY REPORTERS
DO YOU SEE HERE RIGHT NOW? WE
HARDLY HAVE ANY PRESS THAT
COVERS THE WORK THAT WE DO THAT
COVERS THE WORK THAT WE DO IN
COMMITTEE. THE PEOPLE NEED TO
KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IN
GOVERNMENT AND THEY CANNOT DO
THAT, UNLESS THERE IS A FREE
PRESS TODAY ARE FREE PRESS
MARKETPLACE IS COMPLETELY OUT OF
BALANCE. NEWSROOMS CONTINUE TO
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF JOURNALISTS
THEY EMPLOY. AND WE'VE SEEN THE
QUALITY. OF LOCAL AND ROBUST
JOURNALISM DECLINE. PART OF THIS
PROBLEM, NOT ALL OF IT, BUT PART
OF IT IS THE MISS UP
MISAPPROPRIATION OF THEIR
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY BY BIG
TECH OPERATORS. IN OUR INTERNET
AGE INFORMATION IS POWER. AND
DATA IS VALUABLE. GOOGLE MAKES
ABOUT $300 BILLION A YEAR.
FACEBOOK MAKES ABOUT $120
BILLION A YEAR. THOSE ARE
ASTRONOMICAL NUMBERS. I'M NOT
OFFENDED BY LARGE PROFIT. I
WELCOME LARGE PROFIT. IT'S A
BEDROCK OF OUR CAPITALISTIC
ECONOMY. WHAT OFFENDS ME IS THE
REFUSAL TO COMPENSATE THOSE
WHOSE WORK PRODUCT IS BEING USED
FOR FINANCIAL GAIN. I WANT TO
TALK FROM IT ABOUT WHY
JOURNALISM IS SO VALUABLE ON THE
INTERNET. MOST OF US GO TO ONE
OR TWO WEBSITES TO GET
INFORMATION. A LOT OF US GO TO
ONE. AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WHEN WE SEEK INFORMATION ON A
PARTICULAR PLATFORM THAT WE HAVE
RELIABLE, CREDIBLE INFORMATION
THAT'S GIVEN TO US IN RETURN.
JOURNALISTS ARE OUT THERE DOING
THE WORK. THEY VET THE
INFORMATION. THEY VET THE FACTS
. THEY GET. THEY GET THE
INTERVIEWS AND THEY PREPARE A
WORK PRODUCT. COMPANIES LIKE
GOOGLE TAKE THAT WORK PRODUCT,
SUMMARIZE IT AND SPIT IT BACK TO
YOU ON THEIR PLATFORM, OFTEN
DISINCENTIVIZE NG PEOPLE FROM
EVER VISITING THEIR WEBSITE. OR
MONETIZING THEIR CONTENT. THAT'S
A REALITY. GOOGLE NEEDS THIS
INFORMATION. BECAUSE HOW ELSE DO
YOU ENGLISH DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
A RANDOM REDDIT REVIEW? AND A
JOURNALISTIC PIECE OF WORK. AND
THEY KNOW THAT THOSE NEWS
PRODUCTS ARE MORE VALUABLE
BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE CREDIBLE
AND RELIABLE. AND I WANT TO BE
CLEAR. I DO NOT SUPPORT
CORPORATE WELFARE. I DO NOT. BUT
I ALSO DO NOT SUPPORT UNJUST
ENRICHMENT. AND IF YOU'RE TAKING
OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK PRODUCT AND
YOU'RE FINANCIALLY BENEFITING
FROM IT. YOU MUST COMPENSATE
THEM FOR IT. I WANT TO JUST
BRIEFLY MENTION WHAT THIS BILL
DOES AND DOESN'T DO WHAT THE
INTENT IS. THE INTENT IS TO
PROVIDE A FORUM IN WHICH BOTH
SIDES CAN PRESENT THEIR
ARGUMENTS AND WHAT THE VALUE OF
THE NEWS CONTENT IS ON. THESE
PLATFORMS WERE NOT PRE DICTATING
WHAT THAT VALUE IS. WHAT FEE IF
ANY, SHOULD BE PAID. IT'S SIMPLY
PROVIDES A FORUM AND AN AVENUE
TO MAKE THOSE ARGUMENTS. AND TO
BE COMPENSATED. IT IS NOT A TAX
ATTACKS IS MONEY THAT GOES TO
THE GOVERNMENT. THIS DOES NOT
COME TO THE GOVERNMENT. THIS
PROVIDES ONE PARTY AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE COMPENSATED
FOR THEIR WORK PRODUCT. JUST AS
IF ANYONE TOOK SOMETHING FROM
YOU. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO GO
TO COURT AND BE COMPENSATED.
I'LL JUST END WITH THIS. THIS IS
A COMPLICATED ISSUE. IT'S NOT
SIMPLE, AND I APPRECIATE THE
AUTHORS WILLINGNESS TO ENGAGE ON
THIS AND TO GET IT RIGHT AND TO
CONTINUE THAT PROCESS BECAUSE I
DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET
IT RIGHT AND TO BE FAIR. 30
SECONDS. THIS WILL CONTINUE TO
BE A WORK IN PROGRESS. JUST
BECAUSE SOMETHING IS COMPLICATED
AND HARD DOES NOT MEAN WE
SHOULDN'T DO IT. WE NEED TO
ENGAGE ON THIS. IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT TO OUR PUBLIC. IT'S
VERY IMPORTANT TO 20 SECONDS TO
DEMOCRACY AND AT THE END OF THE
DAY, NOBODY'S ABOVE THE LAW. NOT
EVEN BIG TECH. I URGE AND I
SUPPORT THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S CITY. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZING THE BILL. THANK YOU
VERY. SO WORKING, OKAY? THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. I RISE IN SUPPORT
OF THE BILL BECAUSE I TRUST THE
AUTHOR TRUST THAT SHE WILL DO
THE RIGHT THING. BUT I DO HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL. UM I
WAS REVIEWING WHO'S IN SUPPORT
AND WHO'S IN OPPOSITION AND ONE
OF THE OPPOSITION LETTERS IS
FROM CAL MATTERS. AND CAL
MATTERS IS MAKING THE POINT THAT
THIS BILL RUNS THE RISK. OF
FAVORING LARGE NEWSPAPERS OVER
SMALL NEWSPAPERS OR, YOU KNOW
AND NOT TO MENTION THE GROWING
MOVEMENT TOWARD NON PROFIT.
MEDIA OUTLETS. UH AND SO. YOU
KNOW, I COMPLETELY SUPPORT THE
INTENT. TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
HAVE A STRONG AND ROBUST FREE
PRESS. NOT ONLY. OUR LARGE
DAILIES, BUT ALSO OUR NONPROFIT
MEDIA ARE ETHNIC MEDIA. AND SO
FOR THE SAKE OF MOVING THIS
FORWARD, I WILL VOTE FOR THE
BILL I TRUST AND ASK THE AUTHOR
TO CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT
ALL ALL MEDIA. IS SUPPORTED.
SIMILAR MEMBER OF HAPPENED YOU
WERE RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. SO UM
, I THINK THAT THE GOAL OF THIS
BILL IS NOBLE INDEED. AND, UM I
CONCUR WITH THE REMARKS THAT
CAME BEFORE ME. LOCAL NEWSPAPERS
ARE ESSENTIAL TO OUR DEMOCRACY.
SHOUT OUT TO THE CEMETERY DAILY
JOURNAL BEFORE I PROCEED, BUT IN
ANY EVENT, THEY ARE ESSENTIAL,
AND I SAID THIS IN COMMITTEE
BECAUSE I SAW THIS BILL IN TWO
COMMITTEES IS THE ONLY GREEK ON
THE FLOOR. MY PEOPLE INVENTED
DEMOCRACY. I TAKE IT VERY
SERIOUSLY. IT RUNS THROUGH MY
VEINS. UM BUT I REALLY THINK THE
DEVIL'S IN THE DETAILS ON THIS,
SO I AM GOING TO SUPPORT IT
TODAY. BUT WE'VE TAUGHT THAT
LENGTH AND I HAVE TALKED AT
LENGTH WITH THE AUTHOR ABOUT ALL
TECH. IT'S NOT ALL TECH IS
CREATED EQUAL. THE ARBITRATION
PROVISIONS FROM THE LEGAL
STANDPOINT. I THINK HAVEN'T BEEN
FULLY BAKED, WITH ALL DUE
RESPECT, AND I HATE WHEN PEOPLE
SAY WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, BUT
YOU GET WHAT I'M SAYING. AND, UM
I APPLAUD THE IDEA THAT YOU WANT
TO SEE THIS MONEY GO INTO THE
HANDS OF REPORTERS BECAUSE
THAT'S WHO IS WOEFULLY UNDERPAID
IN THIS EQUATION. I DON'T CARE
WHICH OUTLET THEY WORK FOR. SO,
UH, I THINK THE DEVIL IS GOING
TO BE IN THE DETAILS. I'M ALL
SUPPORTED TODAY, BUT WE GOTTA
CRANK THROUGH AND GET SOME OF
THIS STUFF REALLY WORKED OUT,
BUT I DO APPLAUD THE GOAL AND I
APPLAUD EVERYONE HERE TODAY WHO
SAID THIS? COVERAGE OF US IS
ESSENTIAL TO WHAT WE DO AND THE
TRANSPARENCY TO WHAT WE DO SO
WE'LL GET THROUGH IT, BUT I'M
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DETAILS.
THANKS. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WENDY
CARILLO, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS AS A FORMER JOURNALIST
AND AS A LIFETIME MEMBER OF N H
, A. THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
HISPANIC JOURNALISTS AND FORMER
BROADCASTER I JUST WANT TO THANK
THE JOURNALISTS WHO ARE ALWAYS
PRESENT AND IN THE ROOM TO COVER
OUR STORIES THERE IN THE BACK
HERE. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR
THE WORK THAT YOU DO OUR
PHOTOGRAPHERS. THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS, WHO IS ALSO HERE, PRESENT
IN HIS BODY AND ENSURING THAT
THE WORK THAT WE DO IS COVERED
AS SOMEONE THAT I GRADUATED FROM
USC. IT 09 WITH MY MASTER'S
DEGREE IN JOURNALISM AND
POLITICAL SCIENCE. THE TIME IN
WHICH MORE THAN 500 NEWSPAPERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY SHUT DOWN.
NOT THE BEST TIME. TOGETHER A
GRADUATE DEGREE IN JOURNALISM,
BUT THAT HAS BEEN THE REALITY OF
THE PROFESSION FOR QUITE SOME
TIME GIVEN NEW TECHNOLOGIES,
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES AND HOW
TECHNOLOGY HAS REALLY TAKEN A
BIG ROLE IN HOW NEWS AND
JOURNALISM IS CONSUMED. I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND
THAT IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE A
FREE AND EQUAL DEMOCRACY. WE
MUST ENSURE THAT THERE ARE THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GOVERNMENT
OVERSIGHT IS AVAILABLE AND THERE
AND I JUST WANT TO, YOU KNOW,
ALSO GIVE, YOU KNOW BIG THINGS
TO ALL THE JOURNALISM STUDENTS
AT THIS MOMENT TO HAVE A NEED
AND DESIRE TO COVER GOVERNMENT.
IT IS INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO
DO. IN THIS DAY AND AGE WHEN THE
SALARIES AREN'T GREAT WHEN YOU
GET PAID 50 BUCKS AN ARTICLE
THAT TAKES YOU FIVE HOURS TO
WRITE, UH IT IS. IT IS SOMETHING
FOR US TO LOOK AT AND CONSIDER,
AND I KNOW THAT FROM EXPERIENCE
I COULDN'T MAKE A LIVING. UH
AFTER I GRADUATED FROM GRAD
SCHOOL, AND DURING THAT TIME
THAT I WAS TRYING TO REALLY DO
THE WORK THAT I THAT I HAD
INTENDED TO DO, AND THAT HAD
STUDIED AND SO IT IS AN
INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT SPACE. THE
INTERNET HAS PLAYED A ROLE IN
HOW WE CONSUME MEDIA WHETHER
IT'S SOCIAL MEDIA, WHETHER IT'S
OTHER PLATFORMS, WHETHER IT'S
THE CONTINUED COPY PASTE OF
ARTICLES THAT GET SPREAD ALL
ACROSS THE INTERNET WITHOUT THE
ACTUAL AUTHOR AND THE
JOURNALISTS OR THE CONTRIBUTOR
BEING PAID FOR FINANCIALLY AND
COMPENSATED FOR IT. I KNOW THAT
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF THINGS
THAT NEED TO BE IRONED OUT, AND
I TRUST THE AUTHOR TO BE ABLE TO
GET US THERE AND THAT, AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AND
I VOTE ON 88 A B 886. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOE PATTERSON
YOU RECOGNIZE ON THE BILL? THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. WANT TO SAY I
APPRECIATE? UH MY COLLEAGUE FROM
OAKLAND FOR REACHING OUT TO ME
VERY EARLY ON THIS AND, UH AND
HOW HARD SHE'S WORKED ON THIS,
AND SHE'S TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT A
LOT OF THE COMMENTS AND THINGS
THAT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT UP, AND I
TOO, BELIEVE THAT JOURNALISTS
SHOULD BE PAID. THEY'RE SITTING
BACK THERE. UM WATCHING,
TWEETING. HOPEFULLY UM, WE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT IN COMMITTEE
ABOUT DIFFERENT PLATFORMS USING
THE CONTENT CREATED BY PEOPLE
DIFFERENTLY. SOME PLATFORM MIGHT
STRAIGHT UP. SCRAPE INFORMATION
FROM AN ARTICLE DIRECTLY AND
THEN THAT STOPS PEOPLE FROM
CLICKING THROUGH AND THEN OTHER
PLATFORMS. UH PEOPLE MIGHT
ACTUALLY THE NEWSPAPERS
THEMSELVES AND THE WRITERS
THEMSELVES MIGHT POST IT ON A
PLATFORM AND I JUST WANTED TO
ASK THE AUTHOR QUESTION. WITHOUT
OBJECTION. THANK YOU. UM WHAT IS
YOUR I KNOW YOU'VE TAKEN
AMENDMENTS SORT OF IN THAT
REGARD, AND I THINK MAYBE YOU
STILL MIGHT BE WORKING ON THAT.
BUT I JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT
YOUR INTENT WAS FOR, UM, SORT OF
DIFFERENTIATING WHEN PEOPLE ARE
VOLUNTARILY PUTTING THEIR
INFORMATION ON A PARTICULAR
PLATFORM AND THANKS AGAIN, FOR
ALL THE WORK YOU'VE DONE ON THIS
MEASURE. THANKS. I'LL ANSWER TO
MY CLOTHES. THANK YOU, MR
PATTERSON AND HIS SON MEMBER OF
FLORA, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER.
SADLY, I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
886 AND, UH, MY OPPOSITION
REALLY COMES FROM ONE THING. FOR
US. THIS IS UNPRECEDENTED FOR US
TO ALLOW PRIVATE ARBITRATION TO
REDISTRIBUTE. FUNDS FROM ONE
BUSINESS TO ANOTHER. THERE'S A
PRECEDENT THAT I DON'T KNOW IF
WE SHOULD CROSS ON THIS FLOOR.
SO I WOULD JUST ASK ALL OF US IF
WE ARE OKAY WITH THAT. IF WE'RE
OKAY WITH THAT REDISTRIBUTION OF
FUNDS. WHAT NEXT, BUT IN RECENT
NEXT JUST THINK ABOUT THAT. IF
WE'RE OKAY WITH DOING IT TO THE
JOURNALISTIC INDUSTRY. AND
THOUGH THE JOURNALISTS
ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE PAID, WHAT
INDUSTRIES NEXT? THIS IS A BAD
PRECEDENT, AND I REQUESTED NO
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR FLORA. AND
SOME OF THE BURNER YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU SO MUCH, AND I HAVE A
QUESTION FOR THE AUTHOR. MY
SISTER IS A LIFELONG JOURNALIST
. AND SO I HAVE A DEEP RESPECT
FOR THE TRADE AND I SEE WHAT'S
HAPPENED AND SHE WORKED FOR MANY
NEWSPAPERS IN CALIFORNIA AND NEW
YORK. OVER THE YEARS, SHE'S BEEN
A FREELANCE JOURNALIST FOR YEARS
. MY WORRY IS THIS IS ACTUALLY
NOT THE FUNDS THAT ARE GOING
BACK TO THESE LARGE PUBLISHERS.
ARE NOT GOING TO ACTUALLY GO
BACK TO THE JOURNALISTS. THAT'S
THE FIRST QUESTION. SECOND
QUESTION IS WHAT PREVENTS THIS
FUND FROM ACTUALLY FUNDING
MISINFORMATION JUST AS WELL AS
IT FUNDS. THE SAN DIEGO UNION
TRIBUNE. YOU KNOW YOU'RE
WATCHING. AND THREE. HOW DO WE
ENSURE THAT THERE IS, YOU KNOW
IN MY MIND, THIS IS THE
EQUIVALENT OF LIKE BACK IN THE
OLD DAYS. I HAD A NEWSPAPER
SUBSCRIPTION. I TOOK MY
NEWSLETTER AND I WENT TO, YOU
KNOW, MY LITTLE KNITTING CIRCLE
AND I SHOWED AN ARTICLE TO A
FRIEND. THAT'S WHAT WE NORMALLY
DO BACK IN THE OLD DAYS. RIGHT
NOW WE HAVE ONLINE. I'M SHARING
SOMETHING. MAYBE ABOUT ME. MAYBE
ABOUT MY DAUGHTER. UM, ONLINE.
HOW ARE WE DIFFERENTIATING? WHAT
IS JUST SHARING LIKE WE WOULD IN
THE OLD DAYS? A NEWSPAPER THAT
MAYBE MY FRIEND DIDN'T BUY. AND
WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO THOSE ARE
THREE QUESTIONS AND IF YOU CAN
ASK THEM BEFORE YOUR CLOTHES,
THAT WOULD BE GREAT. THANK YOU,
MR BURNER. REMEMBER BARRICADE
AND YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE IN SUPPORT OF A B
86. AND I DO SO BECAUSE I HEARD
THE COMMENTS FROM OUR COLLEAGUE
ABOUT THE REDISTRIBUTION OF
FUNDS. BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR
THAT IN MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE
WAY OUR SOCIETY WORKS WHEN
SOMEONE CREATES SOMETHING WHEN
SOMEONE WORKS. WE ALSO BELIEVE
THEY GET PAID FOR THAT WORK.
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT BENEFITS
FROM THAT WORK. THAT IS A LONG
STANDING VALUE AND BELIEF FOR ME
AND I BELIEVE FOR CALIFORNIA AND
OUR NATION. AND SO WHAT WE HAVE
SEEN WITH THE RISE OF TECHNOLOGY
IS THE ABILITY TO TAKE A WORK.
THAT IS CREATED BY THESE
JOURNALISTS THAT THEY POUR THEIR
BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS INTO AND
PROFIT OFF OF IT THROUGH THE
ATTENTION ECONOMY. AND SEARCHES
AND THE LIKE AND NOT PAY THOSE
JOURNALISTS ARE THOSE COMPANIES
. THOSE ENTITIES THAT HAVE
CREATED THE WORK IN THE ORIGINAL
INSTANCE AND I KNOW THERE'S A
LOT PENDING IN THE COURTS AS IT
RELATES TO THE QUESTIONS OF
COPYRIGHT, ESPECIALLY WITH THESE
NEW AI TOOLS THAT WILL
COMPLETELY TAKE THOSE WORKS,
REPRINT THEM AND NOT EVEN TELL
YOU WHERE THEY COME FROM, WHICH
IS A WHOLE NEW AREA. THAT'S EVEN
MORE PROBLEMATIC. BUT WHAT I
THINK WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE IS
SAY WHEN YOU CREATE WORK. WHEN
YOU DO THAT WE VALUE IT AND
WE'RE GOING TO ENSURE THAT THESE
NEW TECHNOLOGIES DO SO AS WELL.
IT'S NOT THAT COMPLICATED AND IT
WILL PROTECT OUR FREE PRESS. IT
IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR I VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR TARQUIN, AND IT'S
THE METHODS YOU RECOGNIZED ON
THE BILL. MEMBERS THIS ONE IS
DEFINITELY AN INTERESTING ONE.
AND IF SOMEBODY THAT LIKES TO
LOOK BACK TO SOME OF THE
ORIGINAL THOUGHT THINKERS WHEN
IT COMES TO PROPERTY RIGHTS. TO
VALUE. YOU GOT TO LOOK BACK AT
GUYS LIKE JOHN LOCKE. IN THE
SECOND TREATIES OF GOVERNMENT
PERMISSION TO READ. WITHOUT
OBJECTION. AS SO MUCH AS ANYONE
MAN CAN MAKE USE. OF TO ANY
ADVANTAGE OF LIFE BEFORE IT
SPOILS SO MUCH HE MAY BY HIS
LABOR. FIX A PROPERTY IN
WHATEVER IS BEYOND THIS IS MORE
THAN HIS SHARE. AND BELONGS TO
OTHERS. SO WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
WHAT DOES JOHN LOCKE GETTING TO
THE ORIGINATOR OF RIGHTS? JOHN
LOCKE ALSO TALKED ABOUT PUTTING
THE WORK IN AND GOING UP AND
GATHERING SOMETHING AND THEN
THAT'S SOMETHING BECOMING YOURS.
SO THIS GETS VERY INTERESTING
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT BIG TECH WHO
ACTUALLY OWNS THE PLATFORM.
VERSUS THE LABOR AND THOUGHT
IDEAS PUT IN BY OUR PRESS CORPS
IN THE WORK THAT THEY DO TO PUT
THEIR STORIES TOGETHER. SO WHAT
DOES IT COME DOWN TO? WHO'S
MAKING THE MONEY HERE WHO'S
PROFITING HERE IN WHO SHOULD BE
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE REALLY
DEBATING. IS THE WORK. THE
RESEARCH THE EFFORT, THE STORIES
DONE BY OUR PRESS CORPS. DO THEY
DESERVE VALUE TO THAT? OR DOES
THE BIG TECH COMPANY WHO OWNS
THE PLATFORM? DESERVE TO PROFIT.
OFF THE WORK. OF OTHERS. THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL COMES DOWN TO.
NOW, A LOT OF US DON'T
NECESSARILY LIKE THE PRESS. SOME
OF US HAVE BEEN BEATEN UP BY
OEM. SOME OF US THAT THEY'VE
BEEN GOOD. THAT'S THE WAY
POLITICS GOATS. THANK GOD FOR
FOURTH HOUSE AND KEEPING US
HONEST. THE OTHER SIDE OF IT.
AND WE ALL HEAR STORIES ABOUT
THIS, TOO. BIG TECH HAS
ALGORITHMS. THEY'RE NOT OPEN
SOURCE. THEY DON'T TELL US WHAT
THEY'RE THROTTLING AND WHAT
STORIES THEY'RE NOT THROTTLING.
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? SO AS THESE
THINGS GO OUT ON THESE PLATFORMS
, WE GET THIS QUESTION AND THEN
WE SEE THE BIG THREATS OUT THERE
AND IN THE NEWS THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO PULL IT FROM THE
PLATFORM. IT'S THEIR PLATFORM IF
THEY WANT TO DO SO THEY CAN
CHOOSE SO BUT THE CORE OF THIS
IS WHO'S PUTTING IN THE ORIGINAL
WORK. IN THE ORIGINAL WORK IS
BEING DONE BY THE PRESS CORPS.
AND THIS BILL GOES TO MOVE THE
SYSTEM. TO SAY, HEY, THIS IS
THEIR ORIGINAL THOUGHT. THEY'RE
THE ONES DOING THE BACKGROUND
WORK. THEY'RE THE ONES DOING
THIS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A
BALANCE IN AN EQUITY. OF HOW
THIS FUNDING IS GIVEN. AND
BECAUSE OF THAT, I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY AND I
ASKED FOR YOU TO DO ALSO, THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MR MATHIS. AND
REMEMBER HOOVER RECOGNIZED ON
THE BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER
. IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT I RISE.
UH, IN OPPOSITION TO MY SEAT
MATE, BUT SADLY, I DO HAVE TO
RISE IN OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL
TODAY, AND THE MAIN REASON IS
BECAUSE I'M AFRAID THAT THIS
BILL IS GOING TO HAVE SOME
SERIOUS UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH MY
COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE SPOKEN TODAY
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF A FREE
PRESS THE IMPORTANCE THAT WE
HAVE AH, YOU KNOW, WE ARE GIVING
YOU COMPLETE ACCESS TO OUR MEDIA
SO THAT THEY CAN COVER WHAT
WE'RE DOING AND HOLD US
ACCOUNTABLE. ABSOLUTELY AGREE
WITH THAT. I WOULD REALLY
ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ THE
COW MATTERS. OPPOSITION LETTER
TO THIS BILL SPECIFICALLY THE
SECTION ON INCENTIVES BECAUSE
THEY THINK MY CONCERNS ARE
REALLY BASED IN UM, WHAT
INCENTIVES ARE WE CREATING BY
PASSING THIS LEGISLATION TODAY?
UM THE FIRST INCENTIVE THAT I'M
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IS THAT WE
ARE GIVING AN INCENTIVE TO TECH
COMPANIES TO SUPPRESS AND TO
THROTTLE NEWS STORIES BY PASSING
THIS BILL, AND I DO THINK IT
COULD HAVE A VERY NEGATIVE AND
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE WHERE
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE LESS FREE
PRESS AS A RESULT OF THIS BILL,
LESS ACCESS TO IMPORTANT STORIES
, THE SECOND, UH, INCENTIVE THAT
CONCERNS ME IS THE INCENTIVE
THAT WE ARE GIVING BY MAKING
THIS A REVENUE GENERATOR BY
ALLOWING, UM MEDIA COMPANIES TO
ACTUALLY GENERATE REVENUE. AS A
RESULT OF THIS WE ARE, ACTUALLY,
UM WE ARE ACTUALLY GIVING AN
INCENTIVE TO PRINT, MORE
ARTICLES AND MORE STORIES AND
WHAT THAT'S GOING TO DO, AND
THEY LAY IT OUT VERY WELL IN
THEIR OPPOSITION LETTER. IT IS,
IT'S GOING TO GIVE BENEFITS TO
LARGER MEDIA COMPANIES AND
ACTUALLY SUPPRESS THE SMALLER
ONES THAT AREN'T ABLE TO DO THAT
, USING AI AND USING OTHER
THINGS, AND SO FOR THOSE REASONS
, I REALLY AM GONNA HAVE TO
OPPOSE. TODAY I WOULD URGE A NO
VOTE, BUT I APPRECIATE THE
AUTHOR FOR CONTINUING TO WORK ON
THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MR
HOOVER. AND SEEING NO OTHER
MEMBERS WISHING TO BE ADDRESSED
ON THIS BILL. MISS WICK SEEM A
CLOSE. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER
MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR THE
ROBUST CONVERSATION. UM I ALSO
LOVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT A
TRADITIONAL DEMOCRAT VERSUS
REPUBLICAN ISSUE BUT WARRANTS. I
THINK A LOT OF INDEPENDENT
THOUGHT, UM AS WE TRY TO GET
THIS RIGHT AND I WANT TO GET
THIS RIGHT. I WANT TO ENSURE
THAT THERE ARE NO UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. I WORK MY BILLS. I
WORKED THE POLICY. I WORK THE
POLITICS. I PLEDGE TO YOU. I
WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. I'VE
READ THE OPPOSITION LETTER THE
CONCERNS ABOUT CLICKBAIT. GUESS
WHAT. ALL OF THESE PUBLICATIONS
ARE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN
RIGHT NOW TO GET PEOPLE ON THEIR
SITE. WHY WOULD THAT CHANGE?
THEY'RE ALREADY TRYING TO DO
EVERYTHING THERE. WITH REGARD TO
THE RETALIATION. CONCERNED BY
THE PLATFORMS. WE'VE PUT AN ANTI
RETALIATION LANGUAGE TO ENSURE
THAT THAT EXACT CONCERN DOESN'T
HAPPEN WITHIN THE BILL. I KNOW
THERE WERE A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS
I THINK HEARD ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
HOW ARE WE TREATING? YOU KNOW
THE COMPANY'S DIFFERENTLY? WE
HAVE PUT IN LANGUAGE THIS PAST
WEEK TO ADDRESS THAT. AH! TO
ENSURE THAT WE'RE ANSWERING SOME
OF THOSE QUESTIONS, SO I KNOW
THAT THIS IS STILL WORK IN
PROGRESS. BUT WHAT I ALSO KNOW
IS THAT DOING? NOTHING IS AN OP
IS NOT AN OPTION. WE HAVE TO
KEEP THIS CONVERSATION GOING.
OUR NEWSROOMS DEPEND ON IT. OUR
DEMOCRACY DEPENDS ON IT. IT IS
NOT A PERFECT PRODUCT RIGHT NOW.
BUT I'M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING
IN MY POWER TO MAKE SURE WHEN
THIS LANDS ON THE GOVERNOR'S
DESK. IT'S GOING TO BE A ROBUST
BILL THAT HAS EVERYTHING IT CAN
TO ENSURE THAT OUR NEWSROOMS ARE
STAFFED THAT OUR REPORTERS ARE
PAID. WHAT THEY'RE WORTH THAT WE
HAVE A VIBRANT PRESS TO SUPPORT
THIS DEMOCRACY TO HOLD OUR FEET
TO THE FIRE. AND I WOULD ASK YOU
TO COME ALONG THAT JOURNEY WITH
ME AND I WILL SIT AND MEET WITH
ANYONE WHO HAS QUESTIONS OR
CONCERNS. AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN I VOTE CLINIC WILL OPEN
THE WORLD. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES.
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. TYPICAL
CLOSE ROLL TALLY THE VOTES. I
WAS 46 NO. SIX BILLS PASSED.
NEXT MEMBERS. WE WILL TAKE UP
FILE ITEM TWO. THIS IS A B 93
FOR RECONSIDERATION. THE
CORPORAL READ ON RECONSIDERATION
93 BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BRIAN AND
ACCOLADE IN THE CRIMINAL LAW,
YOU MAY OPEN ON RECONSIDERATION.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
RECONSIDERATION. VERY WELL, MR
FLORA FOR WHAT PURPOSE? WE
OBJECT TO THE RECONSIDERATION AS
ROLL CALL VOTE. VERY WELL SEEN
HEARING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.
MR BRIAN IS ASKING FOR AN I
VOTE. MR FLOOR IS ASKING FOR A
NO VOTE ON RECONSIDERATION CLERK
WILL OPEN THE ROLE. ALL THOSE
VOTE WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. THIS IS
ON RECONSIDERATION ONLY. ALL
THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE TO VOTE.
CLERK WILL CLOSE ROLL TALLY THE
VOTES. I WAS 49 17
RECONSIDERATION IS GRANTED WITH
THAT WE WILL TAKE UP FILE ITEMS,
TOO. 80 93 LOCAL READ BILL 93 BY
SOMEBODY MEMBER, BRIAN AND
ACTUALLY IN THE CRIMINAL LAW,
BRIAN MAY OPEN ON THE BILL.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
COLLEAGUES. BACK AGAIN WITH A B
93. I TALKED TO ALL OF YOU. MOST
OF YOU. ANYONE WHO WANTED TO
TALK ABOUT THIS BILL. IT'S AN
IMPORTANT BILL. WE LAID THAT
OUT. WE LAID OUT THE EVIDENCE,
BUT POLICY MAKING IS NOT EASY.
WE'RE ALSO UNDER SOME DEADLINES
BECAUSE OF HOUSE OF ORIGIN, BUT
I WENT AND PUT AMENDMENTS IN
PRINT. AND I HAVE THEM FOR
ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO READ THEM.
I'VE SHARED THEM ALL ACROSS THE
FLOOR. THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF
THIS BILL. ESSENTIALLY BANNED
CONSENT SEARCHES. THAT YOU WOULD
NEED A WARRANT. FIRST, WE
LOWERED THAT DOWN TO NEEDING
REASONABLE SUSPICION. THE STOP
AND FRISK STANDARD. IT MATCHES
PARALLEL THE EXACT POLICY
HIGHWAY PATROL ALL OF THE
SERGEANTS WHO PROTECT US WERE
TRAINED TO USE IT'S A COMPROMISE
. THAT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME
PERSONALLY FOR MANY REASONS, BUT
I THINK THAT'S HOW POLICY MAKING
SHOULD WORK. I DON'T KNOW THAT
THE BILL IS ALL THE WAY WHERE IT
NEEDS TO BE BECAUSE WE HAVE
COLLEAGUES IN THE OTHER HOUSE
THAT WE STILL HAVE TO WORK
THROUGH. BUT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TO WORK
ON THIS AND THE NEXT HOUSE AND I
WOULD APPRECIATE AN AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU, MR BRIAN. AND MR
HART, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. I APPRECIATE THE
COMMITMENT OF THE AUTHOR TO WORK
COLLABORATIVELY TO FIND A PLACE
TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH THIS BILL.
I WASN'T ORIGINALLY SUPPORTED
BECAUSE I HAD SOME CONCERNS, BUT
, UM, HE HAS ASSURED ME THAT HE
IS WORKING DILIGENTLY TO MAKE
THOSE CHANGES. WE DON'T HAVE
THEM TODAY IN PRINT, BUT WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE HIM BECAUSE I KNOW
THAT THE AUTHOR IS A MAN OF HIS
WORD, AND I'VE WORKED CLOSELY
WITH MY LOCAL, UM LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN MY
DISTRICT. TO MAKE SURE THEIR
CONCERNS ARE INTEGRATED INTO
THOSE AMENDMENTS, AND I'LL BE
VOTING FOR THE BILL TODAY. THANK
YOU, MR HART. AND SEEING NO
OTHER MEMBERS WERE SEEN TO
ADDRESS THIS BILL. ANYTHING
FURTHER TO CLOSE. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR RIVAL WILL OPEN THE
ROLE. OTTAWA'S HOPE WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE ALL THOSE VOTES. WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE.
MR BRIAN MOVES THE CALL.
NEXT MEMBERS. WE WILL TAKE UP
FILE ITEM 51. THIS IS A B 15 44
CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY BILL
15 44 BIAS REMEMBER LOCKING
ACCOLADE THE CHILD ABUSE YOU MAY
OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES. I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT A B 15 44,
WHICH RESTORES LAW ENFORCEMENT'S
ABILITY TO ENTER DATA INTO THE
CHILD ABUSE CENTRAL INDEX.
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS KHAKI. IT
ALSO MOVES OVER THE GRIEVANCE
PROCESS FROM LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. IN THE 19
SIXTIES. THIS DATABASE WAS
ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED AS A
REFERENCE POINT FOR
INVESTIGATIONS INTO CHILD
SAFETY. IN THE 19 EIGHTIES, IT
BEGAN BEING USED FOR SCREENING
PURPOSES WHEN AUTHORIZING
INDIVIDUALS TO HAVE CLOSE
CONTACT WITH OUR CHILDREN. THIS
DUAL PURPOSE ENCOMPASSED HOW
SOCIAL SERVICES AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT PROVIDE CHILD
PROTECTIVE SERVICES IN 2007 DUE
TO LITIGATION. THE GRIEVANCE
PROCESS WAS DEVELOPED FOR
INDIVIDUALS TO APPEAL THEIR
LISTINGS. THIS MEANT THAT THOSE
WHO WERE FACTUALLY INNOCENT
COULD HAVE THEIR LISTING REMOVED
AND BE ABSOLVED OF A STADIUM
POST STIGMA. IN 2011 IN AN
EFFORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY, THE
LEGISLATURE REMOVED
ENFORCEMENT'S ABILITY TO ENTER
DATA CORRECTLY INTO THIS INDEX.
PROVIDED STANDARDS FOR INCLUSION
AND ORDERED SPECIFIC REMOVALS.
THIS MEANS THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT
HAS TO SEND THE REPORTS TO
SOCIAL SERVICES FOR THEM TO
ENTER INTO THE KHAKI INDEX. AND
ABUSERS OUTSIDE OF THE HOME ARE
OFTEN NOT LISTED IN THIS INDEX.
JOINT LEGISLATIVE AUDIT
COMMITTEE APPROVED MY REQUEST TO
REVIEW THIS INDEX, WHICH
UNCOVERED MORE THAN HALF OF THE
REPORTS AT THE COUNTY LEVEL,
WHICH HAD FAILED TO BE ENTERED
INTO THE STATEWIDE DATABASE AND
ALSO PROVIDED THAT THERE WERE 28
DAY DELAYS FOR ENTRIES WHICH
COULD ALLOW SOMEONE WHO HAS
ABUSED CHILDREN TO BE APPROVED
FOR SCREENING IN THE INTERVENING
PERIOD. THE ACTING AUDITOR
DESCRIBED THE REPORTING PROCESS
IS CUMBERSOME AND ERROR PRONE.
THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE
UNRELIABILITY OF THE DATABASE
PUTS CHILDREN AT RISK, AND THE
FLAWS IN THE DATABASE MEANS THAT
THOSE AGENCIES CANNOT DEPEND ON
THE DATABASE TO HELP PROTECT
CHILDREN. THE DOJ HAS PREVIOUSLY
CONCLUDED THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT
REPORTS ARE HELD TO A HIGHER
STANDARD BECAUSE THEY ARE
PREPARED FOR CRIMINAL
PROSECUTION INSTEAD OF
DEPENDENCY CASES. IT'S ESSENTIAL
TO HAVE THIS INFORMATION INTO
THIS INDEX AND IMPROVEMENT IN
THE QUALITY OF DATA PROVIDES
DECISION MAKERS WITH THE
ACCURATE UP TO DATE AND RELIABLE
INFORMATION SO THAT THEY CAN
MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS WHEN IT
COMES TO CHILD SAFETY. AFTER WE
LOST GABRIEL FERNANDEZ IN MY
DISTRICT, THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
LOOKED INWARD TO SEE HOW WE
COULD AVOID. CHILD TRAGEDIES IN
THE FUTURE. THE BLUE RIBBON
COMMISSION RECOMMENDED THAT WE
IMPROVE THE COORDINATION BETWEEN
SOCIAL SERVICES AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT. SINCE THEN, THE
ANIMALS BELLY HAS CONTINUED TO
LOSE CHILDREN. WE LOST. ANTHONY
AVALOS, NOAH QUATTRO. WE NEED TO
DO BETTER FOR VULNERABLE
CHILDREN. EVERYBODY KHAKI AND
OUR SYSTEMS SERVING CHILDREN
HAVE DEVELOPED OVER TIME, AND WE
NEED TO CONTINUOUSLY WORK TO
FILL THE CRACKS THAT THESE CASES
FALL THROUGH WITH STRENGTH BASED
RESPECT FOR ALL COMMUNITIES.
I'VE INCLUDED THE PROVISION
MOVING THE GRIEVANCE PROCESS
OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND AND
ACKNOWLEDGE CONCERNS RAISED BY
THE OPPOSITION THAT INDIVIDUALS
MAY NOT BE COMFORTABLE
CHALLENGING THEIR LISTING WITH

VERY CLEAR ON THE COMMITMENT I
HAVE MADE. TO WORK ON THIS
LEGISLATION. TODAY I COMMIT TO
CLARIFYING THE SCOPE OF THE
PROTECTIONS AND THE SPILL TO
APPLY TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE ONLY AND
WILL BE DOING THAT IN THE SENATE
TO ENSURE THE SCOPE OF THIS BILL
STILL PROVIDES BROAD PROTECTIONS
FOR PEOPLE IN NEED IN CARE FOR
PEOPLE CONSIDERING CARE AND FOR
PEOPLE SEEKING INFORMATION
REGARDING THEIR PERSONAL HEALTH
AND SAFETY. I WILL BE GETTING
INPUT FROM KEY STAKEHOLDERS SUCH
AS PEAPACK, IF ONE HOW, AND
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA AND THEN TO
ENSURE THAT THIS IS WORKABLE FOR
LAW ENFORCEMENT. I WILL ALSO BE
WORKING WITH THE CURRENT
OPPOSITION TO MAKE SURE THAT
THIS IS A BILL THAT WORKS FOR
ALL WITH THE SAFETY AND
PROTECTION OF OUR LGBTQ SIBLINGS
AND WITH THE OVERALL HEALTH AND
SAFETY OF WOMEN AND OTHERS WHO
CAN BECOME PREGNANT ON THE LINE
. WE HAVE TO GET THIS BILL RIGHT
AS A MEMBER WHO HAS LED ON
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH LEGISLATION
. I AM PROUD OF OUR STATE AND
BEING A SAFE HAVEN FOR THOSE
SEEKING REPRODUCTIVE AND GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE THAT CONTINUED
EROSION OF RIGHTS ACROSS THE
NATION. POST ROLL SHOWS US,
HOWEVER. THAT OUR JOB IS NOT
DONE REVERSED. MAN'S CAN LEAVE
PEOPLE WHO NEED REPRODUCTIVE OR
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE VULNERABLE
TO A DIGITAL SURVEILLANCE
APPARATUS THAT COULD BE USED
AGAINST THEM. REVERSE DEMANDS
ARE PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IN A
POST REAL WORLD, A REVERSE
DEMAND CAN SEEK THE IDENTITY OF
ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE PRESENT AT A
PARTICULAR LOCATION, GEO FENCE
DEMANDS OR WHO LOOKED UP A
PARTICULAR TERM SEARCH TERM.
ENGINE IN A SEARCH FROM ENGINE
KEYWORD DEMANDS SIMPLY BECAUSE
WHERE THEY WERE OR WHAT THEY
SEARCHED FOR. TO MAKE THIS CLEAR
A GEO FENCE DEMAND CAN COMPEL
THE DISCLOSURE OF MULTIPLE
PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES JUST BECAUSE
THEY WERE AT A PARTICULAR PLACE,
DOING A PARTICULAR SPECIFIC
TIMEFRAME LIKE NEAR A
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CLINIC. A
KEYWORD DEMAND CAN COMPEL
DISCLOSURE OF THE IDENTITY OF
ANYONE WHO HAS ENTERED CERTAIN
KEY WORDS INTO A SEARCH ENGINE.
LIKE TRANSGENDER HORMONE
THERAPY. PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA
HAVE A FUNDAMENTAL
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO PRIVACY
IN THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
DECISIONS. IT IS TIME WE MAKE
SURE THAT REVERSE DEMANDS
RESPECT THE PRIVACY AND ARE NOT
TOOLS THAT ARE MANIPULATED TO
HARM THE VERY PEOPLE. WE ARE
PROVIDING A SAFE HAVEN FOR AGAIN
. YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT TO
ENSURE THE SCOPE OF THIS
LEGISLATION UPHOLDS CALIFORNIA'S
COMMITMENT TO BE A SANCTUARY

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH AND GENDER
AFFIRMING CARE. YOU'LL BE SEEING
AMENDED LEGISLATION WHEN THIS
BILL COMES BACK FROM THE SENATE
FLOOR. THANK YOU. I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU,
MISS PONTA AND SOME MEMBER I GO
CARILLO RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS. I
RISE AS A CO AUTHOR OF A B 793.
AS VICE CHAIR OF THE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS. I WANT TO THANK MY
COLLEAGUE FROM OAKLAND FOR
AUTHORING THIS LEGISLATION,
WHICH IS FAR MORE COMPLEX THAN
IT APPEARS. I TRUST MY FRIENDS,
COMMITMENT TO TAKE SERIOUSLY AND
ADDRESS OPPONENTS CONCERNS. AND
I KNOW SHE NEEDS MORE TIME TO
WORK WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT
HELPED THE WOMEN'S CAUCUS CRAFT
THOUGHTFUL AND MEANINGFUL
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH LEGISLATION
TO ASSURE THIS BILL A COMPLIMENT
, ACCOMPLISHES ITS GOAL WITHOUT
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. 87 93
IS PART OF THE 2023 LEGISLATIVE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS AND FUTURE OF
ABORTION COUNCILS PACKAGE OF
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHY PRIORITY
HEALTH PRIORITY BILLS. WE
CONTINUE TO AUTHOR LEGISLATION
IN THIS SPACE BECAUSE, AS I HAVE
SAID, BEFORE, WE HAVE MADE IT
LONGSTANDING PROMISE TO BE A
REFUGE STATE FOR ANYONE SEEKING
CARE, AND WE INTEND TO KEEP IT.
REVERSE DEMANDS CAN LEAVE PEOPLE
WHO NEED REPRODUCTIVE OR GENERAL
AFFIRMING CARE VULNERABLE. THEY
CAN REVEAL MULTIPLE PEOPLE'S
IDENTITIES JUST BECAUSE, FOR
EXAMPLE, THEY WERE NEAR A
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CLINIC, AND
THEY CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY
ANYONE WHO HAS ENTERED A CERTAIN
KEY WORDS INTO A SEARCH ENGINE.
WHILE I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE
OPPONENTS CONCERNS THAT THIS
APPEARS TO BROAD ABORTION
OPPONENTS IN OTHER STATES HAVE
CLASSIFIED ABORTION AS MURDER
AND TRANSGENDER CARE AS CHILD
ABUSE. SO IT WILL TAKE WORK TO
ACCOMPLISH THE BILLS GOALS WHILE
PREVENTING THE MISS CHARACTERS.
CHARACTERIZATIONS OF WOMEN
EXERCISING THEIR RIGHTS. AGAIN I
TRUST MY COLLEAGUE FROM
OAKLAND'S COMMITMENT AND I AM
PROUD CO AUTHOR ON THIS HISTORIC
LEGISLATION, AND I ASKED FOR
YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU, MR YOUR
KAREEM. AS A MEMBER, DIXON,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER, UH,
RESPECTFUL OPPOSITION WHILE I
HEAR MY COLLEAGUE FROM OAKLAND
COMMENTS SO I HAVE NOT SEEN
THOSE AMENDMENTS IN WRITING, SO
I'M PREPARED TO SPEAK IN
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL AS
CURRENTLY WRITTEN. A B 7 93 WILL
BAN JI OFFENSE WARRANTS WHICH
HAVE BEEN CRITICAL IN SOLVING
HUNDREDS OF CRIMES, INCLUDING
SERIAL KILLINGS, HOME INVASION,
ROBBERIES AND OTHER VIOLENT AND
SERIOUS CRIMES. 87 93 IS OVERLY
BROAD AS HAS BEEN STATED AND
WILL HAVE DIRE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES. THIS BILL WILL BAN
ALL GEO FENCE AND REVERSE
KEYWORD SEARCH WARRANTS, NOT
JUST THOSE LIMITED TO
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE OR
GENDER AFFIRMING CARE. CURRENT
LAW PROVIDES SAFEGUARDS AGAINST
INTRUSION OF PRIVACY, THE U. S
CONSTITUTION. THE FOURTH
AMENDMENT IN CALIFORNIA LAW
CURRENTLY PROTECT AGAINST LAW
ENFORCEMENT OVERREACH. SEARCH
WARRANTS CAN ONLY BE ISSUED IF
THERE IS A PROBABLE CAUSE OF A
CRIME. IT IS REASONABLE AND ONLY
AFTER REVIEW AND APPROVAL. BY A
NEUTRAL JUDGE. SPECIFIC
PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED IN
THESE SITUATIONS. IN FACT, A B 7
93 COULD INCREASE THE LIKELIHOOD
THAT INNOCENT PERSONS WILL BE
ARRESTED AND CONVICTED AS WAS
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED. GEO FENCE
WARRANTS CAN HELP ELIMINATE
PERSONS AS SUSPECTS AND
EXONERATE THE INNOCENT. IN AN
ERA OF INCREASING FIREARMS
RELATED MASS MURDERS. A B 93
WILL UNNECESSARILY PREVENT LAW
ENFORCEMENT FROM SOLVING AND
THOSE PREVENTING FUTURE MASS
SHOOTINGS. A B 7 93 PROHIBITS
GOVERNMENT ENTITIES FROM SEEKING
OR OBTAINING RECORDS OR
INFORMATION CAPABLE OF
IDENTIFYING PERSONS WHO
ELECTRONICALLY SEARCHED. OR
QUERIED FOR A PARTICULAR WORD OR
WORDS. THIS PROHIBITION WILL
HAMSTRING INVESTIGATIONS INTO
SMASH AND GRAB THEFTS. HOME
INVASION BURGLARIES ORCHESTRATED
BY TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME
GANGS, HOMICIDES AND MORE
COMMONLY SEXUAL OFFENSES AGAINST
CHILDREN. MAYBE 7 93 WILL MAKE
IT MORE DIFFICULT TO LOCATE
MISSING CHILDREN. AND ADDRESS
THE ONGOING CRISIS OF MISSING
AND MURDERED INDIGENOUS WOMEN.
IF A CHILD IS KIDNAPPED,
KIDNAPPED FROM A PARTICULAR
LOCATION BUT BY AN UNIDENTIFIED
PERSON OBTAINING REVERSE
LOCATION DATA CAN HELP IDENTIFY
WHO WAS PRESENT OR NOT PRESENT
IN THE LOCATION AT THE TIME OF
KIDNAPPING. THIS MAY BE THE ONLY
WAY TO MAKE SUCH AN
IDENTIFICATION. MAYBE 97 93, AS
CURRENTLY WRITTEN, WILL DESTROY
CRITICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT METHODS
OF COMBATING THE DISTRIBUTION
AND COLLECTION OF CHILD
PORNOGRAPHY AND CHILD ABUSE
CASES TO UNDERSTAND HOW GF G
OFFENSE WARRANTS ARE CURRENTLY
BEING USED. IT IS IMPORTANT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THE WARRANTS
INVOLVED A THREE STEP PROCESS.
THERE IS NO IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION OF ANYONE GIVEN
UNTIL THE THIRD STAGE OF THE
WARRANT PROCESS WHERE THE JUDGE
APPROVES EACH WARRANT A B 7 93
GOES MUCH FURTHER THAN INTENDED
AND WILL HAVE GRAVE IMPACT ON
THE SAFETY OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
AND THE BILL IS UNNECESSARY.
CURRENT LAW ALREADY PROTECT
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE ACCESS
AND GENDER AFFIRMING CARE, A B
12 42 AND ITS SPEED 107 PASSED
LAST YEAR AND SIGNED INTO LAW
ADDRESS THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES,
BUT THAT WAS REALLY NOT MY
CONCERN AS MUCH AS A LAW
ENFORCEMENT ASPECT AND FOR THESE
REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU
TO OPPOSE 7 93 IF IT WERE TO BE
IN HIS CURRENT FORM, SO I WANTED
TO GET THAT ON RECORD, SO THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BOTTO.
THANK YOU, MS DICKSON. AND

REVOLUTION APPLICATION OF
GENERAL WARRANTS DOESN'T GET
APPLIED HERE WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO AS I'VE SAID, AND
COMMITTED TO AGAIN AND AGAIN

CARE. AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
