SORRY THE CONSENT CALENDAR HAS
HAS PASSED- NEXT UP IS FILE ITEM
FIVE- SB FIVE SIXTEEN BY SENATOR
SKINNER AND ASSEMBLY MEMBERS ARE
BURKE WILL BE PRESENTING ON THE
SENATORS. PERHAPS AND THEN I
WOULD ALSO TELL EVERYBODY THAT'S
WATCHING WE ARE IN NEED SENATORS
. FOR THE COMMITTEE. YOU READY
YES- MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS- I'M
PRESENTING SB FIVE SIXTEEN ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR SKINNER TODAY
SENATOR SKINNER COMMITS TO
WORKING WITH THE COMMITTEE TO
FIND A REASONABLE COMPROMISE
THAT ADDRESSES THE OPPOSITION'S
CONCERNS HER INTENTION IS TO
TAKE AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD ONE
REQUIRE LOCAL GOVERNMENTS REPORT
COMPLETED COLLECTIONS TO THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE BUT NO LATER THAN FORTY
FIVE DAYS. TO REQUIRE LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS TO REFUND TO DOUBLE
COLLECTED DATA AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE BUT NO LATER THAN FORTY
FIVE DAYS AFTER THE DEATH WAS
DOUBLE COLLECTED. IF IT TAKES
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OVER FORTY
FIVE DAYS THE ENTITY WOULD BE
REQUIRED TO PAY 3% INTEREST ON
THE DOUBLE COLLECTED MONEY. SB
FIVE SIXTEEN ESTABLISHES BASIC
RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS FOR
PEOPLE WHO OWE DEBTS TO PUBLIC
ENTITIES. LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
OFTEN ASK THE FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD AND THE CONTROLLER TO
COLLECTED DATA ON THEIR BEHALF
BY DEDUCTING MONEY FROM A
DEBTOR'S TAX REFUND AND THEN
GARNISHING THEIR WAGES. THIS
PUBLIC DEBT COLLECTION PROCESS
IS DIFFERENT THAN MUCH OF THE
COLLECTION PROCESS IS FOR PEOPLE
WHO OWE DEBTS TO PRIVATE
ENTITIES LIKE CREDIT CARD
COMPANIES OR BANKS. UNLIKE
PRIVATE DEBTORS PUBLIC DEBTORS
DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE THE RIGHT
TO RECEIVE A RECEIPT OF THE PAY
DEBT AND HOW MUCH IS STILL OWED
GET CLEAR IF CASH OR GET A CLEAR
ACCOUNTING OF THE SOURCES OF THE
DEBT. OR RECEIVE A STATEMENT OF
THE DEBTORS RIGHTS AND
PROTECTIONS UNDER THE LAW.
WITHOUT THESE BASIC PROTECTIONS
DEBTORS CANNOT DETERMINE WHICH
DEBTS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED OR HOW
MUCH THEY STILL- THIS MAKES IT
DIFFICULT TO PROVE WHAT HAS
ALREADY BEEN PAID AND IT MAKES
IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO APPEAL.
AND CORRECT. ERRORS OR OVER
PAYMENTS. SB FIVE SIXTY.
PROVIDES PROTECTIONS FOR PUBLIC
DEBTORS THAT EXIST FOR PRIVATE
DEBTS. THESE THESE RIGHTS
INCLUDE ONE REQUIRING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS PREVENT DOUBLE
COLLECTIONS AND MITIGATE THE
HARMS THAT COME WHEN THEY DO
OCCUR. TO REQUIRING RECEIPT
AFTER DEBT COLLECTION HAS
OCCURRED. THREE REQUIRED QUICK
REIMBURSEMENT IF THE DEBT HAS
BEEN DOUBLE PAID. FOR ENSURING
THAT YOUTH CRIMINAL JUSTICE FEES
COULD NOT BE REFERRED FOR
COLLECTION AND FIVE REQUIRING
THAT DEBTORS GET NOTICE OF THE
RIGHTS UNDER THE LAW. WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY BECAUSE
WHATEVER HERE. IT WITH ME TODAY
TO TESTIFY AS A ID WATER LOPEZ.
AN ADVOCATE FOR THE WESTERN
CENTER ON LAW AND POVERTY. GOOD
AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS- BORDER LOPEZ POLICY
FELLOW WITH THE WESTERN CENTER
MOM POVERTY HERE IN SUPPORT OF
SB FIVE SIXTEEN WHICH WOULD
REQUIRE CERTAIN MINIMUM
STANDARDS FOR PEOPLE. WHO- AND
PAY GOVERNMENT- DAY. NAVIGATING
THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD IS AN
INTIMIDATING CONFUSING PROCESS
PARTICULARLY FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIANS WHO ARE UNLIKELY TO
HAVE AN ADVOCATE OR ATTORNEY TO
ADVISE. A MINIMUM PEOPLE SHOULD
HAVE BASIC INFORMATION ABOUT
THEIR DEBT AND REPAYMENT OPTIONS
SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE A
REALISTIC PLAN TO ADDRESS OUR
DEBTS IN CONTEST ANY COLLECTION
OF YOURS. SB FIVE SIXTEEN MAKES
IMPORTANT CHANGES TO THE
INFORMATION PEOPLE RECEIVE ABOUT
THE REPAYMENT OPTIONS IN ABOUT
WHAT ENCOMPASSES IS EXEMPT FROM
COLLECTION. THE BILL ALSO
EXTENDS EXISTING PROTECTIONS FOR
CONSUMER DEBT TO GOVERNMENT-
DEBT AND MOST PEOPLE WHO HAVE
DOES REFER TO THE FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE
AMOUNT WHEN IT WAS ON PURPOSE.
COLLECTION ACTIONS THAT LEAVE
CALIFORNIANS WITHOUT ENOUGH
INCOME TO PAY THE RENT COVER
FOOD TRANSPORTATION OR BE OTHER
BASIC NEEDS. DR INDIVIDUALS AND
FAMILIES INTO FINANCIAL SOURCE
SOCIAL INSTABILITY THIS IS WRONG
AND COSTLY TO THE STATE. SB FIVE
SIXTEEN ENSURE THE FRANCHISE TAX
BOARD'S TAX BOARDS COLLECTION
PRACTICES ARE TRANSPARENT FAIR
AND ACCURATE AND WE URGE YOUR
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU. I THANK YOU
DO WE HAVE ANYBODY ELSE. IN
SUPPORT. ALL RIGHT AND-

SENATOR PORTANTINO IS GOING TO

YOU'RE READY THANK YOU- MADAM
CHAIR AND MEMBERS S. B. NINETY
SIX IS THE HISTORIC VENUE
RESTORATION AND RESILIENCY ACT
AS YOU KNOW CALIFORNIA IS PROUD
TO BE HOME TO A NUMBER OF LARGE
HISTORIC LIVE EVENT AND
ENTERTAINMENT VENUES SUCH AS THE
ROSE BOWL IN PASADENA WHICH I'M
PROUD TO REPRESENT THE HOLLYWOOD
BOWL IN LOS ANGELES THAT CAL
MEMORIAL STADIUM IN BERKELEY
AMONGST MANY OTHERS. MANY OF
THESE VENUES ARE ONE HUNDRED
YEARS OLD OR OLDER AND CONTINUE
TO BE VITAL CATALYSTS FOR LOCAL
COMMUNITIES IN THE STATE THROUGH
HOTELS A CAPACITY FOR
RESTAURANTS AND ENHANCE RETAIL
OPERATIONS AND OF COURSE TOURISM
UNFORTUNATELY GIVEN THEIR
ADVANCED AGE THESE VENUES ARE IN
DESPERATE NEED OF REINVESTMENT
SURROUNDING INFRASTRUCTURE
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
PATRON SAFETY PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE AND ACCESSIBILITY.
MEMBERS THESE VENUES HAVE BEEN
CRITICAL TO CALIFORNIA'S CULTURE
FOR OVER A CENTURY AND IN ORDER
TO ENSURE THAT THEY SURVIVE FOR
ANOTHER CENTURY SB NINETY SIX
PROVIDE SOME OF THE SALES AND
USE TAX GENERATED DURING A
QUALIFYING EVENT BACK TO THE
LOCALS TO IMPROVE IMPROVE ITS
SECURITY SITES THE BILL DEFINES
A VENUE IS BEING QUALIFIED IT
WILL WAS BUILT BEFORE NINETEEN
FORTY. IS DESIGNATED AS HISTORIC
LANDMARK OR IF IT HAS BEEN USED
FOR LIFE TICKET EVENTS FOR MORE
THAN FIFTY YEARS AND IS ALSO HAS
A SEATING CAPACITY AT LEAST
FIFTEEN THOUSAND AND HOST LIVE
ENTERTAINMENT OR SPORTING
EVENTS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN SOME
RESPECTS IT'S A VERY VERY NARROW
NEED SHIP VERY IMPORTANT
HISTORIC VENUES IN CALIFORNIA
WHICH HELP OUR ECONOMY STRIVE.
SIMPLY INCREASING TICKET PRICES
ARE FEES WILL NOT BE ENOUGH TO
COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR
THESE IMPORTANT VENUES. IT'S
SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'VE DONE FOR
STATE FAIRS AND ALSO WHEN THE
MILLS ACT WAS ENACTED YEARS AGO
TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO
HISTORIC PROPERTIES. I WOULD
ARGUE THAT KEEPING THESE CROWN
JEWELS OF OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
SAFE RELIABLE AND COMPETITIVE.
WITH NEWER VENUES SUPPORTED BY
WEALTHY OWNERSHIP GROUPS IS.
CRITICAL TO THEIR CONTINUED
OPERATION WITH ME I HAVE MAYOR
VICTOR GO FROM THE OF PASS.

NONPROFIT PROFIT LEGACY
FOUNDATION HAS RAISED OVER FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS AND PRIVATE
DONATIONS- IT'S OTHER PORTANTINO
MENTIONS- THIS IS ABOUT
PROTECTING CALIFORNIA'S HISTORIC

THAT WE DO THAT BECAUSE ONCE
THEY'RE GONE. THEY'RE GONE- BUT
LET'S KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ROSE

FOR CALIFORNIA- WIN THE ROSE

CALIFORNIA JUST FOR JUST FOR THE
ROSE BOWL GAME RECEIVES TWELVE

AND ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR OUR
ENTIRE STATE AND SUPPORT. THAT
WE ALL DO OUR PART TO KEEP IT
THAT WAY THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR
MEMBERS- IT'S A PLEASURE TO
ADDRESS YOU HERE THIS AFTERNOON-
I'M CARLA SINGER AND DIRECTOR OF
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS FOR THE LA
PHILHARMONIC WHICH IS PROBABLY
MANY OF YOU KNOW WE ARE THE
EXCLUSIVE OPERATOR OF THE
HOLLYWOOD BOWL WHICH WOULD BE
SUBJECT TO THIS BILL IF PASSED-
THE REASON THAT I'M HERE TODAY
IS IN IN CONNECTION WITH OUR-
STEWARDSHIP. HISTORIC
STEWARDSHIP OF THE HOLLYWOOD
BOWL- WE ARE A NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN
TASKED WITH THE- THE OPPORTUNITY
THE PRIVILEGE OF MAINTAINING A
CHERISHED. HISTORIC RESOURCE-
ENTERTAINMENT VENUE THAT HAS
BEEN THERE LITERALLY A HUNDRED
YEARS- AND THAT COMES WITH LOTS
OF OPPORTUNITIES BUT IT ALSO
COMES IN PART BECAUSE OF ITS AGE
WITHOUT CHALLENGES- ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES IS SIMPLY
MAINTAINING. SOMETHING OF A
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD WITH- THE
OTHER KINDS OF ENTERTAINMENT
VENUES THAT WITH WHICH WE
COMPETE FOR- THE TALENT THAT
WILL. THAT WE NEED TO BRING IN
TO MAINTAIN THE VIBRANCY OF A
CULTURAL RESOURCE LIKE THE
HOLLYWOOD BOWL SO THERE'S THE
ECONOMIC FORCE THAT IS SORT OF
UNCHANGEABLE- THAT WE OPERATE
IN. IN ADDITION TO THAT BECAUSE
WE'RE A NONPROFIT BECAUSE WE
VIEW OURSELVES THE LA
PHILHARMONIC ITSELF AS A CIVIC
INSTITUTION ACIDIC PARTNER- WE
ARE SO WE SUBJECT OURSELVES
WILLINGLY AND OPENLY TO-
POLITICAL AND POLICY GOALS- THAT
AS EXPRESSED BY THE L. A. COUNTY
WITH WITH HIM WERE IN PRIVITY TO
OPERATE. THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL AND
THAT COMES IN THE CONTEXT OF OUR
FOCUS ON ACCESS AND THAT MEANS
PHYSICAL ACCESS FOR PEOPLE WITH
MOBILITY AND SENSORY
DISABILITIES BUT IT ALSO MEANS
ACCESS. BY WAY OF THE EXTENSIVE
EXTENSIVE BUS AND SHUTTLE
PROGRAMS THAT BRING PEOPLE FROM
ALL HELLO CORNERS OF L. A.
COUNTY TO THE BALL- AND OF
COURSE WE WILLINGLY AND HAPPILY
DO THESE THINGS BUT IT ALSO.
MAKES THE BUSINESS- FROM A
BUSINESS STANDPOINT TO THE
BUSINESS OF RUNNING A VENUE LIKE
THIS- MUCH MORE COMPLICATED- AND
IT HAS A LOT OF IT MORE
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN AND
CHALLENGE. AND THESE ARE THESE
ARE ASPECTS THAT- THAT OUR
COLLEAGUES ON THE IN THE PRIVATE
SECTOR THEY DON'T REALLY. HAVE
TO CONTEND WITH- I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE
COMMITTEE HAS I FEEL LIKE I'VE
SPOKEN FOR. FOR A BIT- SAUCY
WHATEVER TIME HALF. OKAY THANK
YOU- DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. MICHELLE
WILL GO ON BEHALF OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA IN STRONG SUPPORT.
ENTER BOTH THE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES IN SUPPORT. DO
WE HAVE ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. HI KATIE HARD ABOUT
THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION IN OPPOSITION WE
UNDERSTAND THE INTENT HERE- BUT
WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD
BE TAKING MONEY FROM OUR SCHOOLS
IN ORDER TO PAY FOR IT WE URGE
THE COMMITTEE COULD TO CONSIDER.
OTHER WAYS OF FINDING THESE
VENUES WITHOUT TAKING AWAY FROM
OUR SCHOOLS THANK THANK YOU.
RIGHT DO WE HAVE A QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. MISTER SUPPORTER ONLY
THE BILL ALL RIGHT- IT'S
ASSISTANCE THAT'S RIGHT DATA
QUESTIONS. ASSEMBLY MEMBER
VALENCIA- CENTER REALLY
APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THIS
BILL FORWARD- AS A FORMER SAN
JOSE STATE FOOTBALL. ATHLETE I
HAVE A FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE OF
NOT ONLY THE BENEFIT THAT THESE-
TYPES OF HISTORIC VENUES HAVE IN
DVD COMMUNITIES BUT ALSO THE
SIGNIFICANCE- AS A STATE AND THE
NATION AS WELL AND- IT IS A
CHALLENGE TO MAINTAIN- THESE
FACILITIES AT A LEVEL- THAT. THE
INDIVIDUALS PARTICIPATE
COMPLEXITIES- SHOULD HAVE THE
ABILITY TO DO SO- SO WHAT
HAPPENED A- SECOND INCOME SIX
MONTHS BUILDING HOPEFULLY. IT
WAS THANKS. THANK YOU ANY OTHER
. ASSEMBLY MEMBER SERVER SO I-
THE WHOLE GOAL IS- THE 50%
DISTRICT AND SO- GO THERE A LOT
IT IS A ONE OF THE CROWN JEWELS
OUR- OUR- IN THIS. OF THE CIVIC-
LIFE IN L. A. COUNTY BENEFITING
NOT ONLY THESE PEOPLE IN MY
DISTRICT BUT PEOPLE THROUGHOUT
LA COUNTY AND THAT THE ENTIRE
STATE- YOU KNOW THESE PUPPIES
ARE PUBLICLY OWNED VENUES- AND
THEY'RE LOSING THEIR ECONOMIC
VIABILITY. AND ARE REALLY IN BAD
NEED OF REPAIR- AND AS I THINK
THE WITNESSES SAID THEY'RE IN
COMPETITION WITH- THE FOR
PROFIT. FOR MODERN STADIUMS AND
REALLY JUST NEED- THIS-
INJECTION- IN ORDER TO- MAINTAIN
THEIR VIABILITY- A CERTAIN DAYS
AND CERTAIN EVENTS THE STATE
WOULD GIVE BACK ITS SHARE OF THE
TASK LIKE THE FRUIT FRUIT IN
MERCHANDISE SALES. TO THE VENUE
AND I WOULD BE LOOKING IT WOULD
BE RESTRICTED TO OVER REPAIRS
ONLY- IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN
THE INVESTMENT IN THESE
FACILITIES- AND- I WAS JUST
STRONGLY IN. SUPPORT OF IT THESE
THIS THESE THESE VENUES- THE
PHILHARMONIC IS A NON PROFIT-
AND DESIGNING. WITNESSES SAID-
IT REALLY BENEFITS REALLY OPEN
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THIS SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA- INCLUDING SOME OF
OUR MOST. HE'S SO STRONG SUPPORT
ROLE. ANYBODY ELSE I HAVE A JUST
A OF- IN THE- ANALYSIS I ONLY
SEE I THINK IT'S FOR VENUES
LISTED I JUST HEARD SOMEBODY
TESTIFY FROM USC YOU'RE
EXPECTING THAT THE COLISEUM
WOULD- ALSO BE ON THAT LIST. DO
YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF THE TOTAL
NUMBER OF VENUES THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT IN CALIFORNIA. I
DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS YOU. I
THINK APPROXIMATELY. VOLUMES
WOULD BE- AFFECTED INCLUDE
INCLUDING THE BERKELEY STATING.
INCLUDING BERKELEY STADIUM AND
WHAT WOULD WE EXPECT AT FOR
INSTANCE THE ROSE BOWL OR THE
HOLLYWOOD BOWL AND HOW MUCH OF A
BENEFIT WITH THIS BE PER YEAR.
SO WE'VE- WE DON'T WE DON'T
EXACTLY KNOW BUT WE HAVE DONE
SOME SORT OF THUMBNAIL
CALCULATIONS IF THIS IF THE BILL
AS CURRENTLY DRAFTED WOULD PASS
WE'RE ESTIMATING THAT THE REFUND
TO THE COUNTY WHICH IS THE SEAT
OF GOVERNMENT THAT OWNS- OWNS
THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL ITSELF. WOULD
BE ON THE ORDER OF ONE TO TWO
MILLION PER YEAR- I DON'T KNOW I
GUESS IT MAY DEPEND ON HOW THAT
FISCAL LINES UP IN A CALENDAR
YEAR THAT'S WHAT WE WOULD
ANTICIPATE. AND WHAT WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOUR- A REPAIR COSTS ARE
PER YEAR. THAT VASTLY IN EXCESS
OF APT OKAY. WHEN ASKED JONES WE
NOT GENERAL MANAGER TO ADDRESS.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION CHECK
ID FOR US IT'S ACTUALLY SIMILAR
NUMBER THAT- USING THE HOLLYWOOD
BOWL IN THE ROSE BOWL AS
EXAMPLES OF THE ROSE GOLD IS
LESS EVENTS BUT OUR UP ANSWER
LARGER. OF ALL AS A SMALLER
CAPACITY SO THE AND BUT THEY
ALSO MORE EVENTS. WE ANTICIPATE
THAT OUR NUMBER IS PROBABLY
GONNA BE BETWEEN ONE AND ONE
HALF MILLION PER YEAR BASED ON
LOAD SO THAT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY
EVENTS WILL BOOK IN THE TYPE OF
EVENTS THAT WE THAT WE HAVE
THEIR- IDEAS YOUR QUESTION OF
HOW THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE USED OR
WHAT ARE BUDGET LOOKS LIKE- AS
AN EXAMPLE NEXT YEAR OUR
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE BUDGET
IS ONE POINT FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS SO THAT SHOWS WHAT WE'RE
ALREADY- WE PUT AWAY. EVERY YEAR
FOR PREVENTATIVE MEASURES AROUND
THE STADIUM THAT'S REPAIRING
ROOFS AND CRACKING CEMENTING
JUST THINGS THAT HAVE TO BE DONE
JUST TO STAY THE SAME AS WE ARE
NOW. TO THESE FUNDS WOULD BE
VERY HELPFUL TO US BECAUSE AND
THAT WOULD FREE UP SOME OF THOSE
MONIES TO GO OUT AND DO EVEN
MORE. OTHER PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE NEEDS TO BE DONE- IN
A HUNDRED YEAR OLD BUILDING
ACTION SHERATON BUT- BIRTH YEAR-
AS YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A
HUNDRED YEAR OLD HOME IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL HOME IT'S- IT'S AND-
THAT I THINK THE MILLS ACT WAS
BROUGHT UP EARLIER AND WE REALLY
WANT INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE TO
INVEST IN THOSE STRUCTURES
COOLEY STAY AROUND- BUT YOU KNOW
WHEN YOU HAVE A HUNDRED YEAR OLD
HOME. THERE'S A LOT OF REPAIR
AND MAINTENANCE IT NEEDS TO BE
DONE JUST TO KEEP IT. AT THE
STANDARD THAT IT'S OUT NOW- AND
SO. OUR NUMBERS ARE SIMILAR- WE
GET THERE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
MANNER. SO THAT REPAIR IS
CURRENTLY PAID FOR BY I HEARD
FUND RAISING AND THEN. THE CITY
OF PASADENA IS THAT IS THAT
GENERALLY WHERE THE- FUNDS
CORRECT THEM EVERY YEAR. YEAH SO
WE RUN OUR OWN OUR OWN BUDGET WE
TRY AND BALANCE OUR BUDGET EVERY
YEAR. IT BECOMES MORE MORE
DIFFICULT EVERY YEAR BUT THAT
SOUNDS LIKE EVERY EVERYONE'S
BUSINESS BUT YES SO WE RUN OUT.
WE RUN A BUDGET EVERY YEAR WE
INCLUDE- THIS YEAR UPCOMING YEAR
AND ONE POINT FOUR MILLION AND
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. IN
ADDITION TO THAT OUR FOUNDATION
FUNDRAISERS FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS
SO. CAPITAL PROJECTS OR THINGS
ABOVE AND BEYOND PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE SO WE MAY NEED TO.
REPLACE ALL OF OUR GAS WATER
LINES BECAUSE THEY'RE- COMING TO
END OF LIFE- THAT'S NOT
INCLUDING. OUR PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE OR PREVENTATIVE
MAINTENANCE IS ALL RIGHT THE
THINGS WE DO EVER YEAR. I AND
THEN I FOUND A GOES OUT AND
FUND. FOR LARGER. PROJECTS AND
IS MAYOR MATCH. WE'RE VERY PROUD
THAT. IN IT'S- OF FUNDRAISED
OVER FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR
THE ROSE BOWL OVER THE PAST TEN
YEARS. WE THINK THAT'S
REFLECTION OF HOW HOW MUCH
PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THE STRUCTURE
THAT THAT WE ARE TRYING
MAINTAIN. HI MADAM CHAIR IF I
COULD ADD YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT.
YOU KNOW THESE ARE NOT. GENEROUS
NUMBERS. BUT THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT
TO THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF EACH
ONE OF THESE VENUES- AND IT'S
THE RETURN OF THE- REVENUE THAT
THEY GENERATE. AND SO I THINK
THAT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S OKAY TO
REINVESTMENT OF THEIR OWN
SUCCESS. TO HELP THEM CONTINUE
TO BE SUCCESS WITH NOT. YOU KNOW
AS FAR AS- THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT'S
CRITICAL OF THEM BUT IT'S NOT. A
HUGE NUMBER. AND THEN I JUST-
AND I APPRECIATE THAT JUST. ONE
OTHER THING IT WAS NOT QUITE.
CLEAR IN THE- AND WHAT I READ.
YOU DO NOT EXPECT TO DO THIS
TYPE OF- FUNDING SOURCE FOR
PRIVATELY OWNED VENUES CORRECT.
THAT IS ORTEZ WE'RE FOCUSING ON
THE- HELD BACK I JUST WASN'T
THAT CLEAR FROM LANGUAGE JUST
WANTED TO MAKE SURE. ALL RIGHT.
ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT WELL THEN
YOU'RE FORGET ALSO THAT ON THE
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS LIKE THE
ROSE BOWL HAS ABOUT A HUNDRED
BILLION DOLLARS IN CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS THAT. NEED TO BE
FUNDED AND SO WHAT WE'RE FOCUSED
ON THE MEETING IS GOING TO THE
CITY WILL CONTINUE TOGETHER WITH
OUR PRIVATE PARTNERS TO RAISE
DOLLARS- TOWARDS THOSE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS- AND SO THIS IS.
THIS IS REALLY A PIECE OF THE
POSSIBLE TO IMPORTANT PIECE OF
THE PUZZLE. ALL RIGHT WELL I
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT AND
SENATOR WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
JUST WHEN APPROPRIATE- HOPE WE
GET OUT OF THE COMMITTEE AND
KEEP THIS CONVERSATION MOVING
AND- JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
BOTH ECONOMY. AND FOR THE
HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA- AS BEEN
SAID THESE ARE THESE ARE VALUES
TO TOUCH SO MANY LIVES ACROSS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND EVEN
THOUGH IT'S A LIMITED NUMBER OF
VENUES. THE REACH OF THESE EACH
. OF THESE VENUES IS STATE.
RIGHT WELL I SAW. APPRECIATE AND
THEN WITHOUT A- THIS BILL WILL
BE REFER TO SUSPENSE FILE THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT WE
HAVE. ARE ALETTA. COMING UP NOW
. GOOD AFTERNOON. GOOD AFTERNOON
MAN CHAIR A- AND MEMBERS. AND
TODAY I. TODAY I AM PRESENTING
SENATE BILL THREE EIGHTY EIGHT.
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA BEER
INDUSTRY. THIS BILL. BALANCES
THE SCALE BETWEEN THE BEER
INDUSTRY AND THE WINE INDUSTRY.
SENATE BILL THREE EIGHTY EIGHT
ALLOWS BEER MANUFACTURES TAX
INFORMATION. DEBATE TO BE MADE
PUBLIC UPON REQUEST TO ASSIST
THE BEER INDUSTRY AND PLANNING
FOR FUTURE TRENDS. SENATE BILL
THREE EIGHTY EIGHT IS A MODEL.
AND IT IS MODEL AFTER SENATE
BILL FIVE EIGHTEEN BY SENATOR
BEARD WHICH PASSED UNANIMOUSLY
OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE LAST YEAR
TO HELP THE CALIFORNIA WINE
INDUSTRY. SENATE BILL TWO EIGHTY
EIGHT IS A CARBON COPY OF THAT
BILL AN EXTENSIVE SAY BENEFITS
TO OUR STATE BEER INDUSTRY. FOR
DECADES THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION HAS PROVIDED BEER
MANUFACTURERS RETURN SCHEDULE
INFORMATION TO THE BEER
INDUSTRY. THE DATA RELEASED TO
THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION AND BY
THE BORDER BECAUSE NATION HAS
LARGELY BEEN UNCENSORED
INCLUDING SPECIFIC BUSINESS
INFORMATION. HOWEVER BEGINNING
IN TWENTY NINETEEN. THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION HAS REEVALUATED THE
RELEASE OF THIS DATA AND
DETERMINED THAT THEY DID NOT
HAVE SUFFICIENT STATUTORY
AUTHORITY TO PROVIDE THE DATA
UNLESS SPECIFIC INFORMATION WAS
AN ONEROUS. THIS DECISION HAS
SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITED SAID THAT
ITS USEFULNESS. SENATE BILL
THREE EIGHTY EIGHT DIRECTLY
ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE AND EQUIPS
THE BEER INDUSTRY TO MAKE WELL
KNOWN AND WELL INFORMED BUSINESS
DECISIONS. THIS BILL HAS NO
OPPOSITION AND IS SUPPORTED BY
THE BEER INDUSTRY INCLUDING
BREWERS GUILDS AND ORGANIZATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE FOR THESE
REASONS I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE VOTE AND WITH ME TODAY I
HAVE CHRIS WALKER I'LL BE HAPPY

OPPOSITION. ANY QUESTIONS FROM
THE COMMITTEE. I DO HAVE. ONE
QUESTION I THINK IT WAS IT WAS
LAST YEAR THAT WE SAW- SB FIVE
EIGHTEEN- AND- WE'RE LOOKING AT
THE OPT OUT NUMBERS AND THERE I
THINK HIGHER THAN EXPECTED WHAT
WOULD YOU- HOW ARE YOU THE
EDUCATE YOUR MEMBERS ABOUT. THE
BENEFITS OF- SHARING THAT
INFORMATION OR WOULD YOU EXPECT
THE SAME TYPE OF OPT OUT NUMBERS
DON'T TURN IT OVER TO CHRIS.
BETTER CHAIR GREG. A TWO WERE
SHOCKED TO SEE- 65% ALL WERE
OPTING INTO CONTINUING TO
MAINTAIN THEIR DISCLOSURE-
INFORMATION BEING BARRED- WE ARE
THAT'S NEW TO US- THAT'S FOR THE
WINE INDUSTRY- WE'RE HOPING THAT
35% THAT CONTINUES TO PROVIDE
THAT INFORMATION OR THE LARGER
PRODUCERS SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO
GET THAT INFORMATION- CERTAINLY
GOING BACK NOW. WE WILL BE
REACHING OUT AND LETTING FOLKS
KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT THAT CHECK
BOX MEANS AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT
INFORMATION IS FOR THE INDUSTRY.
YEAH I WOULD CERTAINLY ENCOURAGE
THAT TO EDUCATE UP FRONT
BECAUSE- IT'S GOING TO BE A
LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO.
GET PEOPLE TO OFTEN AFTER
THEY'VE OPTED OUT SO- ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS ALL RIGHT WE HAVE A
MOTION BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER

EX. OR I SHOULD SAY RE LAUNCHED
A NEW AND EXCITING AEROSPACE
INDUSTRY IN THE STATE. THIS BILL
WILL EXTEND THE SUNSET ON THE
TAX EXEMPTION FOR ANOTHER FIVE
YEARS FROM 200-024-2000 TWENTY
NINE. AS YOU NO REAL PROPERTY

TRADER BUSINESSES GENERALLY
ACCEPT IS GENERALLY TAXABLE IN

SPACECRAFT UNLIKE MOST
MANUFACTURED COMMODITIES ARE NOT
BUILT TO BE SOLD. OR AT LEAST
RATHER THEY'RE BUILT AS A
DELIVERY SERVICE. OF SATELLITES

THIS IS CREATE AN AMBIGUITY IN
THE TAX CODE AS TO HOW SPACE
FLIGHT PROPERTY. SITTING IN A
MANUFACTURER'S FACILITY SUCH AS
SPACEX OR VIRGIN OR SOME OTHER

PURPOSES THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION FIRST CLARIFIED
THAT BUSINESS INVENTORY BUILT TO
GO INTO SPACE WAS NOT SUBJECT TO
PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES IN

WRITTEN TAX OPINION DATED
DECEMBER TWENTY FOUR TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN THIS TAX
OPINION WAS SUBSEQUENTLY
CODIFIED BY THIS LEGISLATURE
INTO LAW. IN TWO THOUSAND
FOURTEEN BY ASSEMBLY BILL SEVEN
SEVEN SEVEN. NOW IT SHOULD BE
NOTED THAT THIS IS A BE A WE
EXEMPTION FROM THE PERSONAL
PROPERTY TAX AND NOT A TAX
CREDIT AGAINST INCOME. THIS IS-
WE WOULD SAY SENSIBLE SHIFT IN
POLICY PAVE THE WAY FOR
COMMERCIAL SPACE COMPANIES TO
REPLACE THE WELL PAYING JOBS
THAT LEFT THE STATE. ALONG WITH
THEIR DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
CONTRACTORS. WHEN THE AEROSPACE
INDUSTRY ORIGINALLY LEFT

REMEMBER THAT. OVER THE PAST
DECADE THANKS TO OUR TAX
POLICIES CALIFORNIA'S AEROSPACE
INDUSTRY IS ROBUST ONCE AGAIN
PRODUCING SATELLITES ROCKET

POSSIBLE BY THIS. TAX EXEMPTION
HAS ALSO BURST A GROUP OF SUB
VENDORS THOUSANDS OF THEM
FRANKLY AROUND THE STATE-
MANUFACTURING PROVIDE SUPPORT

THESE VENDOR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
CALIFORNIA BASED SUPPLIERS. HAVE
RESULTED IN AN INCREASE THEY
TELL ME OF TWO POINT FOUR
BILLION DOLLARS IN REVENUE FOR
CALIFORNIA BUSINESSES. HALF OF
WHICH ARE CONSIDERED TO BE SMALL
BUSINESSES. SO IN ORDER TO
CONTINUE TO FURTHER ENCOURAGE
SUCH INNOVATION IN MANUFACTURING
CERTAINLY BEYOND THOSE COMPANIES
CURRENTLY. INVOLVED AN EXTENSION
OF THIS BUSINESS INVENTORY

YOUR PATIENCE AND CONSIDERATION
THANK YOU VERY MUCH VENTURE
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SENATOR AND
WITHOUT OBJECTION THIS BILL WILL
BE REFERRED FOR SUSPENSE FILE.
HEY WE ARE STILL MISSING
SENATORS.
BUT I WAS. YEAH- HE WAS. I
BECOMING END OF.
SENATOR RUBIO YOU AVAILABLE.
RIGHT TO GO YOU ARE SLIPPING IN
FRONT OF THE- ALL THE FOLKS THAT
ARE SHOWING UP LATE OKAY GOOD
FOR YOU READY TO START WITH OF
THIS FILE ITEM EIGHT IT S. B-
SEVEN FOURTEEN. SEVEN I DON'T
HAVE MY GLASSES ON. A SEVEN
THIRTY FOUR THANK YOU ALL FOR
SAKE OF RETAKING THE AHEAD OF
EVERYONE ELSE THAT- REALLY
APPRECIATE IT TO US TODAY THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR HEARING SB SEVEN
THIRTY FOUR WHICH IS AN
IMPORTANT BILL THAT WILL BRING
TAX RELIEF TO LOW INCOME
FAMILIES ARTICULATE TENANTS WHO
LIVE AND GOVERNMENT OWNED
HOUSING WE HAVE AN AFFORDABLE
HOUSING CRISIS CURRENTLY AND
THIS BILL ATTEMPTS TO HELP IN
THAT REGARD- ONE SOLUTION AND
SUPPORTING FAMILIES THAT ARE
STRUGGLING TO BE HOUSE IS
SUPPORTING PUBLIC HOUSING
PROJECTS OWNED BY GOVERNMENT
ENTITIES. THAT CAN OFFER HOUSING
UNITS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE I
SPECIALLY TO LOW INCOME TENANTS
AS MANY OF US KNOW CALIFORNIA
HAS EXEMPTS. GOVERNMENT OWNED
PROPERTY FROM PROPERTY TAXES
HOWEVER THE LAW IS CURRENTLY
VERY AND YET THANK YOU AS WE
DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT APPLIES
WHEN A PUBLICLY OWNED HOUSING
PROJECT LEASES HOUSING UNITS TO
LOW INCOME TENANTS. OVER THE
PAST FEW DECADES THE CALIFORNIA
STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION HAS
ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE IN MANY
WAYS. BUT THROUGH SEVERAL LEGAL
OPINIONS. THOSE SINGLE PAYER
STATE ALONE TEN LOW IN PUBLIC
PROJECTS SHOULD NOT BE
CONSIDERED TO HOLD A TAXABLE
INTEREST. IN THE PROPERTY
BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE AGAINST
THE STATE'S INTEREST AND
PROVIDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
UNITS TO IMPOSE A TAX ON THESE
TENANTS. MY BILL SB SEVEN THIRTY
FOUR WOULD CODIFY THAT
OUTSTANDING LEGAL OPINION OF THE
BOARD AND MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE
STATE LAW EXAMS AT THESE LOW
INCOME TENANTS FROM PAYING
PROPERTY TAXES THEMSELVES. I
KNOW THAT A FEW CITIES HAVE
RECENTLY EXPRESSED CONCERNS AND-
I'M STILL TALKING TO A LOT OF
THEM CURRENTLY. I AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON IT JUST TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE INFORMATION
IS CLEAR BECAUSE THEY WOULD LIKE
TO EXEMPT TENANTS MAKING UP. TO
TWO HUNDRED TWENTY AM I FROM
PROPERTY TAX. HOWEVER OUT THAT
GOES BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS
BILL- AGAIN- THERE ARE WORKING
WITH THAT THE- E. ARE WE JUST
WANTED TO CODIFY THE OPINION
THAT THEY CURRENTLY HAVE JUST TO
MAKE SURE THAT THE LOWEST INCOME
TENANTS DON'T GET STUCK PAYING A
BILL THAT THEY CANNOT AFFORD.
WHICH WOULD ONLY PUSH OUR
HOUSING CRISIS INTO TURMOIL
BECAUSE THEY WILL. ESSENTIALLY
BE THROWN OUT. OF BUT I DO WANT
TO BE JUST VERY CLEAR- BECAUSE
AGAIN OTHER SOME MISCONCEPTIONS
ABOUT WHAT SB SEVEN THIRTY FOUR
DOES. WILL DO IF IT DOESN'T PASS
THIS YEAR AND THAT IS AS SOON AS
NEXT YEAR COMES AROUND LOW
INCOME TENANTS COULD BE.
RECEIVING UNEXPECTED PROPERTY
TAX BILLS THAT THEY CANNOT
AFFORD IT WILL BE FORCED TO PAY
I WHICH POINT ARE THOSE FOLKS
MAY BECOME HOMELESS DUE TO THEIR
INABILITY TO PAY FOR THEM.
CALIFORNIA CAN CANNOT AFFORD TO
GO BACKWARDS ON THE PROGRESS
WE'VE MADE ON PROVIDING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. AS
CALIFORNIA CONTINUES TO CONFRONT
IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING SHORTAGE
SB SEVEN THIRTY FOUR WILL ENSURE
THAT PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECTS CAN
CONTINUE TO BE PART. OF THE
SOLUTION THAT WE'VE BEEN MAKING
TO ADDRESS. THAT THE HOUSING
CRISIS THE BILL IS SUPPORTED BY
THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION AND IT
PASSED SENATE WITH UNANIMOUS
VOTE FORTY ZERO. TODAY WITH ME-
IS AT B. O. E. AND HE'S HERE TO
ADD HIS VOICE TO THIS MEASURE. I
CAN TURN IT OVER UP TO MISTER
VASQUEZ. THANK YOU THANK. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU CHIRLA AND
MEMBERS OF THE- COMMITTEE-
SPECIALLY MY CENTER HERE RUBIO.
AND WE'RE HERE AS THE STATE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION ALSO IN
SUPPORT. WE HEARD THE CASE. AND
IT WAS BROUGHT BEFORE US. AND IT
WAS UNANIMOUS AMONG OURSELVES-
TO SUPPORT SB THIRTY FIVE IT'S
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT AT THIS
TIME. BECAUSE THERE IS NO
CODIFIED LONG. ALLOWING COUNTY
ASSESSOR'S TO EXIT UNITS AND
GOVERNMENT OWNED LOW INCOME
HOUSING FOR PROPERTY TAX. THERE
IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION.
AND NO STATUTE. THAT APPLIES THE
WELFARE EXEMPTION TO THE UNITS
THAT LOW INCOME. TENANTS RENT
AND GOVERNMENT OWNED HOUSING.
WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION ASSESSORS
ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO ASSESS
AND BILL TENANTS WHO RENT THESE
UNITS BECAUSE THEY ARE OCCUPYING
GOVERNMENT OWNED PROPERTY. FOR
THEIR OWN PRIVATE USE. TO
ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM THE BOARD
HAS PUBLISHED OPINIONS ROWING'S
FOR THE PAST TWENTY SEVEN YEARS
AT THE REQUEST OF THE SENSORS
EVEN LEGISLATORS FORMER
ASSEMBLYMEMBER NORMA TAURUS. FOR
EXAMPLE HOLDING THAT EVEN THAT
THAT THERE IS NO SPECIFIC LAW
SAYS WE SHOULD NOT IMPOSE.
POSSESSORY INTEREST TAXES ON LOW
INCOME TENANTS BECAUSE IT WOULD
FRUSTRATE THE STATE'S INTEREST
IN PROVIDING. LOW COST HOUSING
480% OF THOSE FOLKS ARE IN LINE
LEVELS OWNED BY LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AND GPAS- THE
OPINIONS ARE BASED ON TWO THINGS
CASE LAW FIRMS- CALIFORNIA
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
DECORATIONS OF LEGISLATIVE
INTENT IN BILL AND STATE HOUSING
POLICY. THIS BILL SB THIRTY FOUR
WHAT ONE CODIFY THE BOARD'S
LONGSTANDING LEGAL POSITION ON
THIS AND TO PROVIDE CLARITY
CERTAINTY AND UNIFORMITY OF ALL
COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
IN CONCLUSION. THEREFORE I URGE
YOU OF YOUR APPROVAL OF SB SEVEN
THREE FOUR. IT IS SAFE
FUNCTIONAL LEGISLATIVE AS WE
NEED IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.
AND IT IS COMPLETELY CONSISTENT
WITH THE DECORAH THE DECORAH
TORY OF EXISTING LEGAL
INTERPRETATION AND IT WILL
ENSURE THAT LOW INCOME TENANTS
ARE NOT TAXED FOR UNITS THAT
THEY WROTE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME ALL RIGHT THANK YOU VERY
MUCH- DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER.
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT IN THE ROOM
. ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
I'LL I'LL BRING IT BACK- I WAS
REALLY FAST FOR YOU SUPPORTER
OPPOSITION OPPOSITION- I THINK
YOU'RE ALSO BE UP THE CITY OF
PASADENA WE ARE ONE OF THE
COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE CONCERNS.
YOUR POST AMENDED WE LIKE
EXTENDED 210020% OF IN YOUR MIND
WE HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL
PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE RUN WITH
MULTI FAMILY IN PASADENA WHERE.
THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE HAVE
SEEN INCREDIBLE SAVINGS THERE
LARGELY LOW INCOME IF THIS BILL
DOES PASS 60% OF THOSE TYPE OF
TENANTS DAY WE'LL SEE A NEW BILL
IN THE FUTURE. AND SO WE'D LIKE
TO SEE THEM SO THE MIDDLE A
CATEGORY BE CAPTURED UNDER THIS
BILL. THANK YOU. RIGHT ANY OF
QUESTIONS. FROM THE CREDIT. SOME
MEMBER PETRIE-NORRIS. YEAH AND
THAT. YEAH THE CONCERN THAT WAS
RAISED AFTER RIVER FROM THE CITY
OF PASSAGE WITHOUT ALSO TO KNOW
WHEN THEY CAN BE ALAN. I CAN YOU
JUST TO DRAW. THAT THAT CONCERN
THAT THERE MAY BE SIGNED INTO
CONSEQUENCES AND I THINK HE'S
AT. 60% OF THE TENANTS. IN THAT
PARTICULAR DEVELOP HAD NOT BEEN
RECEIVING TAX BILLS AND NOW.
THEY WILL BE DO YOU THINK IT'S
BEEN AN ERROR THAT THEY HAD IN
THE PAST OR- NO I THINK THE
REASON WE USE THE EIGHTY
PERCENT. CUT OFFICE BECAUSE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LOW INCOME
TENANTS YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS WE HAVE- AND WHAT
THINGS. AS A CHAIR OF THE BE-
ONLY ONE OF THESE AS PEOPLE ARE
COMING TO A SPECIAL BEFORE
DEVELOPMENT- DEVELOPERS ARE
TRYING TO BUILD AFFORDABLE
HOUSING NOW. THEY'RE WILLING TO
DO IT BUT I'M TELLING BECAUSE
THEY WANT TO TAX CREDITS AND I'M
KIND OF BORED A HOLE A HARDLINE
SAYING. IF IT'S A TRULY
AFFORDABLE I THINK WE SHOULD
EXAMPLE. BUT IF IT'S NOT I THINK
IT GOES AGAINST OUR WHAT OUR
PRINCIPLES AND AT THE END OF THE
DAY I THINK IT'S GONNA HURT IF
WE OPEN IT UP THAT BIG TENT
INCLUDING. MORE THAN 80% WHAT'S
GONNA END UP HAPPENING IS YOU'RE
GONNA GET IT'S GONNA HURT A LOT
OF THE- LOCAL CITIES AND.
SCHOOLS THAT RELY ON THIS
TAXPAYERS. I MEAN THAT'S ONE
RESEARCHERS SAID SO. IT'S LESS.
THAN AN INCH. AND A CONSEQUENCE
AND SUPPORT. YOU ACTUALLY THINK
IT'S A PER. POP AND- AT THE I
MEAN IT'S BASED. THERE'S LIMITED
REYES. AND YOU WANT MAKE SURE IT
GOES TO- THOSE MOST IN NEED.
EXACTLY ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE
DO WE HAVE A MOTION- NOT WAIT WE
AYE I'M SORRY SENATOR WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE. YES THANK YOU BUT
I STILL WANTED US MISS YOU KNOW
THE COMMENTS THAT- I PASADENA
HAS MADE I KNOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE
CONCERNS BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE
IT CLEAR THAT MY- INTENT OF
CARRYING THIS BILL IS TO ENSURE
THAT THOSE FOLKS. THAT ARE LOW
INCOME DON'T END UP PAYING THE
BILL NEXT YEAR AND- AND SO YOU
KNOW. THEY'VE THERE MIGHT BE
OTHER. WAYS TO TACKLE THE ISSUE
THAT THEY'RE REFERRING TO BUT AT
THIS POINT WE REALLY JUST WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE LOW
INCOME FAMILIES DON'T END UP ON
THE STREET BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
PAY THE BILL. THANK YOU AND I
ASTRONOMICAL. RIGHT AND- THANK
YOU AS WITHOUT. OBJECTION THIS
BILL IS GOING TO BE FOR TRESPASS
FILE. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT
ASSEMBLY A I'M SORRY SENATOR
SENATOR MARTIN. BUT THANK YOU.
THANK YOUNG WHEELCHAIR IN
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I AM HERE TO
PRESENT SB FIVE TWENTY. FIVE SB
FIVE TWENTY SIMPLY CLARIFIES THE
INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO
LIVE IN A CARE FACILITY. OR AN
EXTENDED CARE FACILITY ARE STILL
OCCUPYING THEIR PRINCIPAL
RESIDENCE. FOR THE PURPOSE OF
QUALIFYING FOR THEIR HOMEOWNERS
PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION. DUE TO
THE PROPOSITION OF PASSAGE OF
PROPOSITION NINETEEN. THERE IS
SOME CONFUSION THAT EVERY PERSON
DIES OR SPENDS TOO MUCH TIME IN
A LONG KERR. TERM CARE FACILITY
OR HOSPICE THAT THEIR HOME WILL
NOT QUALIFY FOR THE STANDARD
HOMEOWNER'S TAX EXEMPTION. THIS
IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE UNDER PROP
NINETEEN A PRE REQUISITE FOR THE
HOME TO QUALIFY FOR IT
INTERGENERATIONAL TRANSFER IS IT
MUST ALSO BE QUALIFIED FOR THE
HOMEOWNERS TAX EXEMPTION. PEOPLE
AND ASSESSORS WHO ARE CONCERNED
OVER THE VAGUE DEFINITION IN THE
STATUTE THAT SAYS THE HOME WOULD
NOT QUALIFY IF VACANT OR BEING
RENTED IS IT'S KIND OF THE ISSUE
HERE SO THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONLY
IN MY DISTRICT BUT IS STATEWIDE
ENOUGH ATTENTION WAS RAISED BY
THE COUNTY ASSESSOR'S THAT THEY
HAD FORMALLY ASKED THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION FOR GUIDANCE ON
THIS VERY ISSUE. THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION ISSUED A LETTER
ASSESSORS TRYING TO GIVE
GUIDANCE ON THE MATTER. SO TO
THE QUESTION DOES THE DWELLING
OCCUPIED BY THE FAMILY OF A SON
WHO OWNED A- AND ONLY PAY A
PARENT WHO IS CONFINED TO A
CONVALESCENT HOME. OR HOSPITAL
QUALIFY FOR THE HOMEOWNER'S
EXEMPTION. AND ANSWER FROM THE
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION WAS YES
THE DWELLING MAY BE EXEMPT. IF
THE CLAIMANT IS EXPECTED TO
RETURN TO THE DWELLING AND IF HE
OR SHE DOES NOT RECEIVE RAN FROM
ANY PERSONS OCCUPYING THE
PREMISES. AN ABSENCE FOR MORE
THAN ONE YEAR WOULD RAISE
CONSIDERABLE DOUBT THAT THE
OWNER IS EXPECTED TO RETURN. SO
COLLEAGUES SB FIVE TWENTY WILL
SIMPLY CLARIFY THIS FINING AND
GIVE THAT CLARITY WHERE THERE IS
CURRENTLY DOWN. IF A PERSON IS
HOSPITALIZED OR CONFINED TO A
LONG TERM CARE FACILITY. OR AN
ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY THEY
CAN STILL CLAIM THE HOME THAT
THEY OWN THAT THEY CAME FROM. AS
THEIR PRIMARY RESIDENCE FOR THE
EXEMPTION. THE BILL ALSO ALLOWS
RENTING TO A FAMILY MEMBER. AS
DEFINED UNDER OUR NORMAL
DEFINITIONS OF A FAMILY MEMBER
IN THE INTEREST OF ALLOWING THE
ELDERLY. THE ABILITY TO HAVE A
FAMILY MEMBER STATE AND TAKE
CARE OF THE HOUSE. AND THIS IS
REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WHEN
YOU'RE IN THIS SITUATION IF YOU
HAVE ELDERLY RELATIVES A LOT OF
TIMES TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM.
TO THAT THEY NEED A LITTLE BIT
MORE HEALTH- MEANS A PROMISING
THEM IF THEY CAN JUST GET TO THE
CONDITION THAT THEY WERE AND
THEY CAN GO BACK TO THEIR HOUSE.
AND SO THE HOUSE DOESN'T GET
SOLD THE HOUSE SITS THERE AND IT
NEEDS TO BE CARED FOR AND YOU
NEED TO BE PAID FOR IN SOME
INSTANCES. AND SO THERE IS A
DATE A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE DO
PLAN TO GO BACK TO THEIR HOUSE.
WHEN THEY REGAIN THEIR THEIR
STRENGTH AND- BEEN
REHABILITATED. IN THE FACILITY
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO FOR
TEMPORARY PURPOSES. SO BY GIVING
THIS CLARIFICATION- STATUE
PEOPLE CAN HAVE ASSURANCES THAT
THEY ARE FOLLOWING THE LAW UNDER
PROP NINETEEN IF THEIR HOME
QUALIFIES FOR THE HOMEOWNERS TAX
EXEMPTION. THIS BILL HAS
ENJOYING ZERO. OPPOSITION AND
UNANIMOUS SUPPORT THAT FOR AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. THANK
YOU AND DO YOU HAVE ANY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT NO I DID
NOT BRING ANY WITNESSES. ARE
THERE ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. ANY QUESTIONS. FROM
THE MEMBERS. BUT IT I
APPRECIATE- WITH- PROP NINETEEN
PASSING THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF
THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CLARIFIED
OR- BUT HAVE YOU ACTUALLY. ARE
THERE ACTUALLY CASES THAT THIS
IS HAPPENING. THANK YOU ARE
AWARE OF YES THAT'S WHY WE WERE
THAT'S WHY I WAS BROUGHT TO OUR
ATTENTION BY BOTH THE TAX
ASSESSOR'S. AND PEOPLE IN OUR
DISTRICT. AND WE FOUND THAT YEAH
THIS IS THIS IS BECOMING A
BIGGER PROBLEM BECAUSE AS PEOPLE
ARE MOVING ALONG- THEY'RE
FINDING THAT THEIR HOUSES LOSE
THEIR EXEMPTION. BECAUSE THEIR
PHYSICAL ADDRESS EVEN THOUGH
THAT'S WHERE THEY ACTUALLY
THAT'S THEIR PROPERTY AND THAT'S
WHAT THEY OWN AND THAT'S WHERE
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO LIVE. IF
THEY CAN'T LIVE THERE BECAUSE IT
PHYSICAL CONDITION FOR
TEMPORARILY. TEMPORARY PURPOSES
THEY CERTAINLY CAN'T GET THEIR
EXEMPTION FROM. THE FACILITY
THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE STAYING IN
TEMPORARILY HOPEFULLY ALL RIGHT
WELL- I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE
YOUR OF WORK ON THIS WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE. NO I JUST
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL WHEN THE
TIME COMES ALL RIGHT AND WITHOUT
OBJECTION THIS BILL WILL BE
REFERRED TO OUR SUSPENSE FILE
THANK YOU SENATOR. AND NEXT UP
WE HAVE SENATOR CAFIERO. OF FILE
ITEM SEVEN SB FIVE SIX. FIVE
GOOD AFTERNOON SENATOR. GOOD
AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT
SB FIVE SIX FIVE WHICH REQUIRES
THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD. TO
IMPLEMENT CHANGES TO THE FREE E.
FILING TAX SYSTEM FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIANS I'D LIKE TO FIRST
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF AND IF
HE BE FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND WILL ACCEPT THE
AMENDMENT IT OUT AS OUTLINED ON
PAGE SIX OF THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS. MANY FILERS ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR A VARIETY OF TAX
CREDITS SUCH AS THAT- CALIFORNIA
E. I. T. C. OR THE EARNED INCOME
TAX CREDIT. THE YOUNG CHILD TAX
CREDIT AND THE FOSTER YOUTH TAX
CREDIT TO PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT
CASH BENEFITS TO LOW INCOME
INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. THIS
TAX TAX CREDITS TARGET SPECIFIC
POPULATIONS MOST IN NEED AND ARE
PROVEN TOOL TO COMBAT POVERTY
THE FEDERAL THE ITC HAS BEEN IN
PLACE FOR THIRTY YEARS AND A
LONG TERM. STUDIES HAVE BEEN
DONE SHOW THAT IT SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPROVES THE FINANCIAL SITUATION
OF FAMILIES I'M VERY ABLE TO
EARN SOMEWHERE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD OF SIX THOUSAND
DOLLARS A YEAR BACK- AND THAT
MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN
FAMILIES THAT ARE THAT ARE
REALLY STRUGGLING- IT FOR. OUR
QUALIFYING EITC THEY CAN EARN AS
MUCH AS THIRTY FOUR HUNDRED
DOLLARS SO YOU PUT THE TWO
TOGETHER AND THAT'S FAIRLY
SIGNIFICANT. DESPITE THE
SIGNIFICANT BENEFITS THESE
CREDITS PROVIDE MANY
COMPLEXITIES EXIST THE
DISCOURAGE RESIDENTS FROM FILING
THEIR TAXES. IN TWENTY TWENTY I
AUTHORED SB FORTINO NINE WHICH
TASK THE F. T. B. TO PROVIDE A
REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS- TO REDUCE
BARRIERS THAT LOW INCOME OR NO
INCOME FILERS OFTEN FACE. THAT
DISCOURAGE TAX FILING USING FREE
STATE SPONSORED SERVICES. IN
THIS STUDY HAVE TO BE OUTLINED A
NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ISSUES THAT
NEED TO LOWER THAN ANTICIPATED
FILING RATES FOR LOW INCOME
CALIFORNIA'S AN OPPORTUNITY-
CALIFORNIANS AND OPPORTUNITIES
TO INCREASE ACCESS TO ALL THE
TAX CREDITS. THE REASON THIS
BECAME IMPORTANT TO ME IS THAT
WE WERE SPENDING SOMEONE
ANYWHERE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF
FIVE MILLION. TO TEN MILLION
DOLLARS A YEAR ADVISING PEOPLE
THAT THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE
TAX CREDITS AND TO ME IT SEEMS
RIDICULOUS TO BE SPENDING THAT
MUCH MONEY WHEN WE COULD
ACTUALLY BE PUTTING. THE MONEY
IN THEIR POCKETS. SB FIVE SIXTY
FIVE IS A SIMPLE BILL THEY BEGIN
THE PROCESS TO IMPROVE THIS
STATE TAX FILING PROCESS BY
REQUIRING FDB TO ENHANCE CAL
FIRE- CALIFORNIA HERE FILE. READ
MORE USER FRIENDLY EXPERIENCE.
THE BILL DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY
FILE TAXES IMPORT AND PROVIDES
EACH FILE OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
FULLY REVIEW AND CHANGE
INFORMATION AS NEEDED. THIS STEP
TO MODERNIZE CAL FILE IS THE
FIRST OF MANY TO BEGIN A
TRANSITION TO A RELIABLE SAFE
FILING PROCESS THAT ENCOURAGES
GREATER ACCESS TO THE STATE PRE
FILING SYSTEM FOR LOW AND
KNOWING INCOME ELIGIBLE.
INDIVIDUALS DUE TO SCHEDULING
CONFLICTS WE DON'T HAVE ANY
WITNESSES HERE TODAY BUT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS. RIGHT DO WE HAVE ANY-
WITNESSES IN THE ROOM IN SUPPORT
. GOOD AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS ON THE ASSEMBLY DOES ON
BEHALF OF ALL HOME IN STRONG
SUPPORT THANK YOU. RIGHT THANK
YOU ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION
. ANY COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE. YES I WISH AND- ARE
SENATOR ONE THANK YOU FOR YOUR-
WE'RE GOOD INTENTION I HAVE TO
PROVIDE. TO THE COURT SYSTEM TO
OUR LOW INCOME MY FAMILY
HOWEVER. I DO HAVE CONCERNS HE'S
IN A WAY THAT YOU CAN NOW. TELL
ME ABOUT WHAT DOES COUCH.
PROVIDE PROTECTION OPERATE NOW
AND HOW ALL WALK MEDIC THAT
WOULD THAT. HAVE TO BE. USED TO
ORDER OR SEND A PRE POPULATED
FORM TO DOES QUALIFY INTO VIDEOS
. THE FIGHTING TO BE. YES SO
THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION
APPRECIATE IT THE ACT THE IDEA
IS THAT- THAT- F. T. B. AND I'VE
BEEN WORKING ON THIS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH THAT TO BE BUT-
THAT THE CONCERN. I WAS TRYING
TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE WOULD
AUTOMATICALLY- CREATE THE OP.
THIS SAN. CHECKS TO IN. TO KNOW
THAT. THERE L. A. SO THAT THEY
GET SOMETHING IN WRITING ARE AT
AT THEIR AT THEIR PLACE OF
RESIDENCE- AND THE PROBLEM WITH
THAT IS THAT IT REQUIRES IF TO
BE TO MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS.
THAT THE INCOME OF THE NEXT OF
DEATH OF THE FOLLOWING YEARS THE
SAME FROM THE TAXABLE YEAR THAT
THEY RECEIVED THAT THEY HAD THAT
HAPPEN OTHER WORDS WOULD MAKE F.
T. B. IT WOULD PUT THEM IN A
POSITION TO SAY YOUR- WHAT ARE
YOU MAKING THE SAME AMOUNT OF
MONEY SO WHAT. WHAT THIS THIS
FORM WOULD DO IS IT WOULD PRE
POPULATE A VERY SIMPLE- FORM. AS
SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE MANY
OF THESE FILERS ARE- I KNOW
INCOME. OR THEY HAVE VERY LOW
INCOME WHICH MEANS THAT THEY MAY
NOT HAVE AN EDUCATIONAL LEVEL TO
BE ABLE TO READ COMPLICATED TAX
WORKS I DON'T KNOW IF YOU FEEL
THAT YOUR OWN TAXES IN A WHILE.
I USED TO DO IT AND I FINALLY
GAVE UP BECAUSE IT'S COMPLICATED
WENT TO LAW SCHOOL I SHOULD KNOW
HOW TO FILL OUT A FORM. BUT IT'S
BECOME MUCH MORE COMPLICATED
BECAUSE IT'S THERE'S DEDUCTIONS
AND THINGS THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE
AND CALCULATE- ON YOUR FORM SO
THE IDEA WOULD BE THAT THEY
WOULD PRE POPULATE. A FORM SEND
IT OUT AND SAY. IS THIS THE
INCOME YOU HAVE HAD THIS YEAR.
AND IF IT'S YES YOU ALL YOU'D
HAVE. TO DO IS- FILL OUT THE
REST OF THE FORM SAY YES SIGN
YOUR NAME AND SEND ANY DOCUMENTS
THAT MAY PROVE- SOME OF THE
INFORMATION- AT. LIKE LIKE THAT
FORMS THAT YOU GET FROM YOUR
EMPLOYER IN OTHER WORDS IT WOULD
BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE VERY
SIMPLE THAT WOULD COME TO THE
HOUSEHOLD. THEY COULD. S. SIGN
IT SEND IT BACK IN AGAIN AND
THAT WOULD GET THEM THERE THERE
ARE TAX CREDITS. SO THAT THEY
WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO MANY OF
THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOT HAD TO
FILL OUT INCOME TAXES BECAUSE
THEY'RE LOW INCOME ALREADY. IF
THEY IF THEY- HAVE NOT FILE
TAXES. THEN THERE ON PURPOSE NOT
FILING THE TAXES IN. YOU KNOW
THEY'RE NOT DOING IT AND SO THE
IDEA WOULD BE THIS WOULD BE A
WAY TO GET AROUND- SOME OF THAT
BERRIER SAID PEOPLE HAVE ONE IS
THAT THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.
THE LANGUAGE AND SO THEY MAY BE
RELUCTANT TO FILL OUT PAPERS
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND. TWO IS
THAT THEY MAY NOT- ANY MONEY BUT
NOT KNOW THAT THEY'RE ENTITLED.
TO MONEY AND SO FDB WOULD COME
UP WITH THE DIFFERENT FORMS THAT
THEY WOULD SEND TO DIFFERENT
PEOPLE. THIS THAT ARE DIFFERENT
FOR DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS. RIGHT
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AT OURS. THANK
YOU AT SO SENATOR IF YOU SAID TO
PAD THE ATC AND CALLIE RTC IS
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE FOR.
FIFTEEN CALIFORNIA FAMILIES OUT
OF POVERTY. AB AND YOU MADE. A
VERY GOOD POINT IN YOUR OPENING
REMARKS THE RIGHT NOW WE'RE
SPENDING MILLIONS MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. TO TRY TO MARKET THE
PROGRAM- IT'S ENOUGH. MONEY
BETTER SPENT IN PEOPLE'S
POCKETS. I THAT I DO WANT TO YOU
ABOUT SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT
WERE RAISED. I THINK IN THE
LETTER FROM THE OPPOSITION BUT
ALSO TO. IN THE ACT BY THE F. T.
B. THEMSELVES. POINTED OUT THAT.
IF QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS WOULD
NEED TO CORRECT THE INFORMATION
ON THAT PRE POPULATED TAX
RETURN. OP PRIOR TO FINAL
SUBMISSION. SO I DO I DO JUST
HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THE
ABILITY OF THE F. T. BEATS YOU.
GIVE A COMPLETE PICTURE TO A
FILER- AND THAT IF WE'RE
CONCERNED THAT THE FILERS ARE
NOT ABLE TO NAVIGATE. TAX TERMS
IS THE EXIST. IT'S GONNA BE EVEN
HARDER FOR THEM TO IDENTIFY.
WHERE THERE'S ISSUES AB SO CAN
YOU SPEAK TO THAT CONCERN. SO
WHAT YEARS IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR
QUESTION WHAT YOU'RE YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT IS IT IF THE FORM
INTO BEING COMPLICATED AND THEY
NEED TO. MAKE SOME CHOICES. IN
IF IT'S INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE
BECAUSE F. TO BE MAY NOT HAVE
THE FULL PICTURE. YOU KNOW IF AN
INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCE. WELL
I'M I'M ASSUMING THAT IF THEY
DON'T HAVE THE COMPLETE PICTURE
THAT THERE WILL BE. BOXES WHERE
YOU CAN CHECK. LIKE HOW MANY
DEPENDENTS DO YOU HAVE FOR
EXAMPLE OR THE AGES THOSE KINDS
OF THINGS- IT'S- THEORETICALLY
POSSIBLE A BIG A BIG PART OF
WHAT CALIFORNIA DOES FIND. AND
THAT WE HAVE GOOD PARTNERS ON
OUR THESE TAX FREE TAX PREPARERS
THE PROBLEM IS YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT THEY'RE THERE. AND YOU NEED
TO KNOW THAT THEIR SERVICE IS
FREE- THE- FRANKLY THE BIGGEST
OPPOSITION. TO THESE KINDS OF
BILLS IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN THE
TAX PREPARERS. THAT THAT THE
ONES THAT AND I WON'T. NAME ANY
OF THE NAMES OF THEM BUT THE
ONES THAT- THAT SELL THEIR
SERVICES BUT THAT PEOPLE REALLY
DON'T NEED BECAUSE THEIR TAXES
ARE SO SIMPLE- AND SO- IT'S-
POSSIBLE THAT ON THE FTP FORMING
COULD SAY IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS. GO TO THIS
FREE TAX SERVICE IN YOUR
COMMUNITY AND LESS THAT THE TAX
SERVICES I VISITED THESE FREE
TAX SERVICES ON A REGULAR BASIS-
AND THEY'RE REALLY VERY GOOD
WITHOUT THEIR IT'S DEL THEY'RE
ABLE TO PREPARE PRETTY BASIC ON.
TAX SERVICES FOR ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING AND SO I THINK WE WANT
TO SET UP THAT SYNERGY SO THAT
PEOPLE AREN'T THINKING I'VE GOT
TO GO DO IT. TO SOMEONE AND
SPEND MORE MONEY AND I'M NOT
GOING TO GET VERY MUCH MONEY
BACK. BECAUSE THAT SOME OF THE
RETURNS WHILE YOU CAN GET THIRTY
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS THERE SOME
OF THE RETURNS ARE LESS THAN A
HUNDRED DOLLARS SO IF YOU GO TO
A TAX PREPARER YOU'RE GONNA PAY
MORE THAN A HUNDRED DOLLARS TO
PREPARE YOUR TAXES. IT'S NOT
WORTH IT. AND I THINK THAT'S
ACTUALLY I DON'T KNOW YEAH HOW
TO. GET THE F. TO BE THAT THAT
DIRECTION I DON'T THINK IT'S
CAPTURED IN THE BILL BUT I THINK
THAT FIVE. ADDITIONAL STAFF IS
ACTUALLY POTENTIALLY REALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY
DON'T WANT ANYONE TO SUBMIT
FRAUDULENT. TAX RETURN BECAUSE
THAT THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
SENATE TO THAT TO THEM. AND I
TOO I'VE I'VE HOSTED MY OFFICE
I'M SURE MANY OF OUR OFFICES
HOST. OF THESE FREE TAX PREP
EVENTS AND- WE JUST HAVE A
WONDERFUL TEAM. COMMUNITY
VOLUNTEERS WHO DO THAT WORK THAT
THERE WERE SOME WAY TO SAY. THIS
IS WHAT WE THINK YOU'RE ELIGIBLE
FOR THIS. GO TO ONE OF THESE
EVENTS TO VERIFY YOUR
INFORMATION OR SEE IF THERE'S
EVEN MORE MONEY BECAUSE A LOT OF
THEM THAT WILL THEN. BE ELIGIBLE
FOR THE FEDERAL. WELL WE'RE NOT
GOING TO. LIKE THAT SO I THINK
IF THERE'S ANY WAY THAT WE CAN
HELP FOLKS CONNECT THOSE DOTS.
ON THAT THAT WHICH WOULD REALLY
STRENGTHEN THE IMPLEMENTATION
FROM THE TICKET YES. I AGREE.
ANY YEAH IT IS- AND I APPRECIATE
THE LONG TIME WORK THAT YOU'VE
DONE ON THIS AND THE HEARING
THAT WE HAD THIS YEAR IT IS A
VERY DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING
PROBLEM THAT THERE ARE SO MANY-
WORKING FOR FOLKS THAT ARE
ENTITLED TO THIS MONEY THAT CAN
REALLY HELP THEM LIFT OUT OF
POVERTY WHEN YOU- WHEN YOU.
COMBINE IT WITH THE FEDERAL. OF
EITC AND WE'RE JUST NOT GETTING
EVERYBODY THERE I THINK THAT AS-
MEMBERS IT'S- DRIVING PEOPLE TO
THESE FREE TAX PREP- SERVICES IS
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT BUT- YOU
STILL SEE A HUGE PERCENTAGE. OF
THE ELIGIBLE POPULATION THAT IS
NOT GETTING THERE AND WE HAVEN'T
REALLY FOUND SOLUTION. YET BUT I
CERTAINLY THINK THIS IS A GOOD
STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO.
WITH THAT CENTER WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE THANK YOU VERY MUCH
MANAGER I APPRECIATE YOUR
COMMENTS- ALL ADOPT IMAGE MY
CLOSING OUT. THE ONE THING THAT
THAT. FROM MY PERSPECTIVE WAS
INTERESTING ABOUT THIS WHOLE
THING IS THAT I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE VERY EASY TO JUST. PULLED UP
FROM THE PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE
IN THIS STATE. THE PROVIDE-
FOOD. OR ABOUT YOURS HOUSING
VOUCHERS THOSE KINDS OF PROGRAMS
SAY LOOK IF YOU'RE WORKING AND
YOU ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE
YOU'RE PROBABLY ELIGIBLE FOR THE
EITC FOR EXAMPLE. AND IT ENDS UP
TO IT'S MUCH MORE COMPLICATED
THAN THAT I WAS HOPING WE COULD
GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN
SHARE INFORMATION BETWEEN THE
DEPARTMENTS THAT HAVE THAT DATA-
AND- IF YOU PROBABLY LOOKED AT
THE SAME. FORTINO NINE REPORT
CAME BACK AND IT WAS THE OP
THERE WERE LIKE TEN OPTIONS AND
IT WAS COMPLICATED IT WASN'T AS
EASY AS I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING
TO BE SO. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE
EASIEST AND MOST COST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO GO ABOUT. ABOUT GETTING
IT DONE AND SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS. ALL RIGHT
AND SO AT THANK YOU VERY MUCH DO
WE HAVE A MOTION AND SECOND. YOU
ARE GOOD. HAVE FIVE MEMBER-
CALLED IS BY SOME MEMBER PEACH-
