RECHARGE GRANT A LIMITED SEQUEL
EXEMPTION FOR COLORADO RIVER
WATER CONSERVATION AGREEMENTS
THAT WERE MADE WITH THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND OTHER STATES AND
ALSO PROTECTS THE WESTERN JOSHUA
TREE WILL STRIKING A DELICATE
BALANCE BETWEEN HOUSING AND
RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT AND
CONSERVATION FUNDING IN SPECIES
PROTECTION. RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
I VOTE ON SB 1 22. THANK YOU, MR
TING AND SOME MEMBER VINCE
VAUGHN. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I
AM FORTUNATELY RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO SB 1 22. OR
NATURAL RESOURCES ARE ABSOLUTELY
PRECIOUS, AND WE NEED TO DO MORE
TO CAPTURE FLOODWATERS. THAT WE
HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH. BUT MUCH
OF THAT TIME AND WATER HAS
ALREADY PASSED US BY CALIFORNIA
HAS MISSED SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES
, AND THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE
INVESTMENTS IN CONVEYANCE AND
ABOVE GROUND WATER SOURCES TO
SAVE AS MUCH WATER FOR FUTURE
USE MEMBERS. WE COULD BE IN A
DROUGHT NEXT YEAR. IF WE DO NOT
GET THE WATER AND RAIN THAT
MOTHER NATURE NORMALLY BLESSES
US WITH. I MAY SOUND LIKE A
RECORD ON REPEAT. BUT IT IS A
TRAVESTY THAT NOT ONE ADDITIONAL
DOLLAR COULD BE FOUND IN A
BUDGET OF OVER $300 BILLION FOR
ABOVE GROUND WATER STORAGE, ALSO
IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, THIS BILL WOULD HAVE
MASSIVE COSTS AND BURDENSOME
IMPACTS TO HOUSING AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT DUE TO THE TO THE
PROVISIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
JOSHUA TREE PROTECTIONS AND THE
BOUNDARY EXPANSION INTO URBAN
AREAS WITH LITERALLY NO PRESENCE
OF JOSHUA RETIREES. THIS BILL
RAISES COSTS AND IS HIGHLY
PROBLEMATIC AS A STATE COMBATS A
HOUSING SHORTAGE AND
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS IMPEDING
GROWTH AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD
MEMBERS. I URGE A NO VOTE. THANK
YOU, MR FONG AND SOME MEMBER
LUCKY YOU RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. WELL, THANK YOU. I'M
ACTUALLY VERY, VERY PROUD TO
STAND AS A PROXY VOICE. FOR
THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE DESERT AND
FEEL DESERTED. BY SUCH HURTFUL
POLICY. THERE'S NEVER BEEN A
BILL THAT'S MORE IMPACTFUL TO MY
DESERT COMMUNITY THAN THIS ONE
IN MY ENTIRE ASSIGNMENT HERE TO
THE STATE CAPITAL, THIS IS
NASTY. I STAND AND BE HIM IN IN
OPPOSITION. TO THE WESTERN
JOSHUA TREE CONSERVATION ACT,
WHICH WOULD PERMANENTLY AFFECT
THE DEVELOPMENT AND MY DESERT
COMMUNITY WHERE MANY FIND THE
LAST VESTIGE OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING. WELL I APPRECIATE THAT.
THERE'S BEEN A MOVEMENT TO
INCLUDE MULTI FAMILY
DEVELOPMENTS. MY COMMUNITY
DREAMS OF COMMERCIAL
DEVELOPMENT. UM. FURTHER THE
DEFINITION OF A JOSHUA TREE WILL
INCLUDE SPROUTS FROM A TREE. AND
THAT WILL MAKE DEVELOPMENT VERY
EXPENSIVE. ANOTHER SPECIES
STRUCTURE. EVEN SMALL PROJECTS
ARE GOING TO BE COSTLY FOR MY
CONSTITUENTS WHO LIVE AMONGST
THE PLETHORA. ARE THESE SHRUBS
MASQUERADING AS A TREE? IT'S NOT
A TREE, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. YEAH,
THERE'S A SHRUBBERY. DEVELOPMENT
UNDER THIS PROCESS, LAID OUT IN
THIS LANGUAGE WILL BE LIMITED TO
THOSE WITH ECONOMIC RESOURCES,
WHICH WOULD CHANGE THE CULTURE
CULTIVATED WITHIN MY
COMMUNITIES. RURAL COMMUNITIES
ARE FORGOTTEN. AND THAT'S
INSTITUTION. YOU CAN SMILE ALL
YOU WANT EVERYBODY, BUT IT AIN'T
FUNNY TO US. THE COUNTY OF SAN
BERNARDINO, CONSISTENTLY FOUND
THEMSELVES LEFT OUT OF
DISCUSSIONS THAT WOULD MOLD HOW
OUR FUTURE LOOKS. IT'S WRONG TO
LEAVE OUT REPRESENTATIVES FROM
THIS MONUMENTAL DISCUSSION AS
THEY TRY TO PLAN FOR A
PROSPEROUS FUTURE. THE JOSHUA
TREE IS ICONIC. THIS IS WHOLLY
UNNECESSARY GIVEN THE DATA. THAT
ILLUSTRATES THAT THIS SPECIES IS
NOT AT RISK AND THE NEXT 100
YEARS. THESE ARE YOUR
SCIENTISTS, FOLKS. WE DO BELIEVE
IN CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE DESERT.
BUT WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE
JOSHUA TREE IS AT RISK FOR AT
LEAST 100 YEARS. SO WHY ARE WE
DOING THIS NOW? THIS WILL SURELY
WORSEN THE STATE'S ABILITY TO
GRAPPLE WITH ITS HOUSING
SHORTAGE BY DEPRESSING THE
DEVELOPMENT AND FRUSTRATE THE
COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO MEET
REGIONAL HOUSING GOALS SET FORTH
BY THIS BODY. THIS PROPOSAL,
LIKE SO MANY WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE
FAILS TO IMPLEMENT THE VISION
THAT OUR COMMUNITY HAS FOR THEIR
FUTURE. I FIND IT VERY
INTERESTING THAT PEOPLE HAVE
TAKEN SUCH STRONG INTEREST. AND
THIS TREE THAT MANY OF THEM HAVE
NEVER EVEN SEEN LIVE. I WAS
RAISED IN THE MOJAVE DESERT,
VERY PROUD OF THAT FACT. AND
I'VE LIVED THERE FOR OVER 50
YEARS. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE
DIMINISHING IMPACT. OR THE
REDUCTION IN JOSHUA TREES IN
THAT 50 YEARS. LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, THIS IS NOT RIGHT.
THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY CREATING AN
IMPEDIMENT. FOR A VERY STARVING
PART OF OUR CULTURE. I KNOW THAT
MANY OF YOU VERY FEW OF YOU LIVE
IN THE DESERT. BUT HOPEFULLY YOU
WILL NOT JUST DISMISSES. AS THE
DESERT. AND THE JOSHUA TREE. AS
CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS. IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE VERY, VERY
PROUD OF. BUT PLEASE DON'T USE
IT AS AN EXCUSE TO MAKE US PAY
MORE MONEY. TO THIS BODY. PLEASE
PLEASE. AND I KNOW FOLKS, THIS
IS MY NINTH YEAR HERE, SO I KNOW
A TRAILER BILL IS NEVER GOING TO
FAIL. I KNOW THIS SO I SPEAK
THESE WORDS. JUST TO TRY TO GET
YOU TO THINK. AND IF YOU HAVE A
HEART FOR THE DESERT. MAYBE
YOU'LL THINK ABOUT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO PUSH THE RED JUST DON'T
WEIGH IN. SO ANYWAYS. THIS IS A
VERY SERIOUS THING, FOLKS. IT'S
A VERY, VERY SERIOUS THING TO
THOSE OF US WHO LIVE IN THE
DESERT. AND I HOPE YOU'LL
CONSIDER THAT BEFORE YOU PUSH
THE GREEN BUTTON. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR LAKI, AND SOME
NUMBER ONE CREOLE RECOGNIZED ON
THE BILL. GOOD AFTERNOON, MR
SPEAKER AND COLLEAGUES. I RISE
TODAY TO ADDRESS THE MARATHON.
MOST IMPORTANCE FOR THE DISTRICT
. I PROBABLY REPRESENT ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT 39 AS IT WILL SHARE
THEIR FUTURE TRAJECTORY OF MY
DISTRICT. THIS BILL IS NOT JUST
ABOUT PRESERVATION OF EVERY
MARKABA SPECIES. IT IS A
TESTAMENT TO THE ABILITY TO
STRIKE A DELICATE BALANCE
BETWEEN SAFEGUARDING OR NATURAL
HERITAGE AND PROVIDING A PATHWAY
FOR THE MUCH NEEDED ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT THAT OUR DISTRICT
GERMANS FOR. THE WESTERN JOSHUA
TREE EMBODIES THE SPIRIT AND
BEAUTY OF OUR HIGH DESERT. AND
ITS PRESERVATION IS CRUCIAL TO
MAINTAINING THE UNIQUE CHARACTER
AND ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY OF OUR
REGION. IT ACKNOWLEDGES THE
PRESSING NEED FOR HOUSING,
INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORTATION
AND OTHER VITAL ELEMENTS OF
ECONOMIC GROWTH. THERE WERE A
COMMUNITY DESPERATELY REQUIRES.
BUT CAREFULLY PRESERVING THE
JOSHUA TREE. WE CREATE AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT CAN COEXIST
HARMONIOUSLY WITH OUR NATURAL
SURROUNDINGS. HOWEVER. AS WE
MOVE, WE MOVE FORWARD. IT IS
CRUCIAL TO EXERCISE AND WATCHFUL
EYE AND DILIGENT OVERSIGHT OVER
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS
LEGISLATION. I EXPRESS MY
SINCERE CONCERNS REGARDING THE
ACTUAL EXECUTION OF THE PERMIT
PROCESS. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
THE DEPARTMENT CAN MEET THE
DEMANDS AND EXPECTATIONS OF THE
PERMITS REQUESTED. DELAYS IN
GRANTING PERMITS STRADDLING INTO
PRECIOUS TIME LOST, SQUANDERED
FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND MISSED
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE PROGRESS
AND PROSPERITY OF MY DISTRICT. I
WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORING THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRIMITIVE
PROCESS TO ENSURE THAT IT
OPERATES EFFICIENTLY AND
EXPEDITIOUSLY. WE MUST BE
VILLAGE VIGILANT IN HOLDING THE
DEPARTMENT ACCOUNTABLE SO THAT
WE CAN MINIMIZE THE DELAYS AND
MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR
ECONOMIC GROWTH IN OUR DISTRICT.
THE WESTERN JOSHUA TREE
CONSERVATION ACT REPRESENTS A
COMMUNITY TO PRESERVING OUR
NATIONAL HERITAGE WHILE
EMBRACING THE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES THAT LIE BEFORE
US. BY STRIKING THIS BALANCE, WE
CAN FORESEE A PATHWAY, ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL
PRESERVATION ARE NOT MUTUALLY
EXCLUSIVE, BUT INSTEAD
COMPLEMENTED IN UPLIFT ONE
ANOTHER. I RECOGNIZE THE
DELICATE BALANCE MUST BE STRUCK
BETWEEN CONSERVATION AND
PROGRESS. THE WESTERN JOSHUA
TREE CONSERVATION ACT REPRESENTS
A COMMITMENT TO PRESERVING OUR
NATIONAL HERITAGE WHILE
EMBRACING THE ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES THAT LIE BEFORE US
NO ONE THAT IT WILL SHAPE THE
FUTURE OF MY DISTRICT FOR
GENERATIONS TO COME. LET US
ENSURE THAT THE WESTERN JOSHUA
TREE CONSERVATION ACT BECOMES A
SHINING EXAMPLE OF RESPONSIBLE
LEGISLATION. FOURTH STRING BOTH
THE PROTECTION OVER NATIONAL
WONDERS AND THE REALIZATION OF
THE ECONOMIC POTENTIALS THAT OUR
DISTRICTS ORIGINALLY DESERVED.
AND AS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, I
WILL TELL YOU THAT LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS HAVE MADE EFFORTS
FOR DECADES TO PRESERVE THAT
JOSHUA TREE. I BELIEVE THAT THAT
LANGUAGE IN THE BILL WHERE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO
PRESERVE THE YASHA TREE. IT'S A
BALLAD POINT IN THE BILL. BUT I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
DELEGATIONS TO THE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS THROUGH THE
DEPARTMENT ACTUALLY BECOME
AVAILABLE. BECAUSE THOSE LOCAL
JURISDICTIONS RECOGNIZE THE
BEAUTY OF THE JOSHUA TREE, THE
NATURAL BEAUTY, THE HIGH DESERT
AND THEY KNOW HOW TO PRESERVE IT
BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT
FOR DECADES. I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL. BUT I LOOK
FOR FORWARD CONVERSATIONS IN THE
NEAR FUTURE TO ENSURE AGAIN THAT
WE IN THE HIGH DESERT HAVE A
LEVEL PLAYING FIELD IN BRINGING
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND
PROSPERITY FOR THE HIGH DESERT
THAT NEEDS DESPERATELY. THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, MR CARILLO. AND SOME WOMAN
DAVIES YOU RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I
RISE IN UNFORTUNATE OPPOSITION
TO SB 1 22. I WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK PUT INTO
THIS TRAILER BILL, BUT IT'S
MISSING SOME KEY THINGS, CHIEF
AMONG THEM NEW AND INCREASED
FUNDING FOR COASTAL AND SANTA
EROSION PROGRAMS REPRESENT BOTH
. COASTAL BLUFFS ARE NEAR THE
BREAKING POINT. I UNDERSTAND WE
ARE FACING A BUDGET DEFICIT BUT
TO PRESERVE AND PROTECT OUR
COASTAL COMMUNITIES AND
ENVIRONMENT. WE NEED MASSIVE
AMOUNT OF FUNDING TO HELP US
TOURISM IS THE LIFEBLOOD OF MY
DISTRICT AND WITHOUT DEDICATING
FUNDING. NOT ONLY MY AREA, BUT
OUR STATE IS HOME AGAIN. FOR
THIS REASON I CANNOT SUPPORT SB
1 22 AND I WANT TO MAKE IT REAL
CLEAR BECAUSE I GET THIS A LOT.
WHERE I'M VOTING AS A MEMBER. I
VOTE FOR THIS ENTIRE STATE.
EVERY ONE OF YOUR DISTRICTS. SO
PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT
THIS MAY NOT BE YOUR DISTRICT,
BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF MEMBERS
ON THIS FLOOR THAT HAVE COASTAL
DISTRICTS, AND THIS IS
DEFINITELY AFFECTING OUR ECONOMY
RIGHT NOW. AND SO WHEN YOU DO
VOTE THINK ABOUT THAT. BECAUSE
IF YOU VOTE TO SUPPORT THIS, YOU
ARE VOTING AGAINST MANY
DISTRICTS HERE TO BE ABLE TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN DEAL
WITH THE ECONOMIC CONCERNS.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS
DAVIES, AND A SIMILAR IN POWER.
CAN YOU RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL?
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS. I RISE BRIEFLY TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMENTS
FROM OUR COLLEAGUE FROM PALMDALE
OF ALL SAY IT'S VERY CONFUSING
THAT WE HAVE TWO COLLEAGUES FROM
PALMDALE DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO REFER TO THEM. UM
BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS MR
MAYS APPROACHED ME ABOUT A YEAR
AGO TO DISCUSS THE JOSHUA TREE
ISSUE AS CHAIR OF WATER, PARKS
AND WILDLIFE. I STARTED TO LEARN
A LOT ABOUT IT, AND IT DIDN'T
COME TO ME AS COMMITTEE CHAIR
OUT OF THE BLUE
ENVIRONMENTALISTS HAD COME TO
THE COMMISSION AND ASKED FOR IT
TO BE LISTED AS AN ENDANGERED
SPECIES. THOSE FOLKS WHO WANTED
TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE HIGH
DESERT TO BUILD THE HOUSING
THEIR COMMUNITIES SO DESPERATELY
NEED THOSE COMMUNITIES WHO ARE
STEPPING UP TO SOLVE OUR CLEAN
ENERGY NEEDS TO BUILD THE LARGE
SCALE SOLAR THAT EACH AND EVERY
ONE OF US WHO VALUES ARE CLIMATE
FUTURE ONCE BUILT. WHERE FEARFUL
THAT HAVING TO TREAT THIS
SPECIES UNDER THE ENDANGERED
SPECIES ACT WOULD STOP ALL OF
THAT BUILDING AND THEY WANTED TO
WORK WITH US BECAUSE THEY
UNDERSTOOD WHAT WE HEARD FROM
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM PALMDALE THAT
THEY VALUE THIS ICONIC TREE.
THIS SPECIES THAT IS ONE OF A
KIND, AND I KNOW MORE ABOUT THE
JOSHUA TREE THAN I EVER THOUGHT
I WOULD ASK ME ABOUT THE MOTH
SOMETIME AND SO WHAT WE DID IN
THIS WORK WAS WE DID ONE THING
THAT I THINK IS REALLY IMPORTANT
AND I WANT ACKNOWLEDGED HERE.
THIS HOUSE SAID A DEAL HAD BEEN
STRUCK WITH OUTSIDE INTERESTS
AND THE GOVERNOR, ONE THAT
DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE NEEDS OF
THE COUNTIES WHO WEREN'T AT THE
TABLE AND WE SAID WE DESERVE TO
BE AT THE TABLE. THE POLICY
INTERESTS OF THIS BODY AND THE
PEOPLE WE REPRESENT DESERVE TO
BE PUT INTO THIS LEGISLATION. SO
WE INTRODUCED A POLICY BILL,
WHICH NOW IS SITTING IN THE
SENATE AND WE STARTED THOSE
DISCUSSIONS AND WE BROUGHT THE
COUNTIES TO THE TABLE FOR THE
FIRST TIME WE WIDENED THE TABLE
AS IT RELATED TO THE
ENVIRONMENTALISTS, AND WE HAD A
DEEP CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE
COULD PROTECT THIS ICONIC TREE
PROTECT THIS SPECIES CONTINUE TO
ALLOW THE GROWTH AND BUILDING WE
NEEDED IN THE HIGH DESERT. AND
LASTLY, DO SOMETHING THAT I KNOW
MANY OF YOU IN THIS BODY CARE
DEEPLY ABOUT WHICH WAS PROTECT
THE INTEGRITY OF THE ENDANGERED
SPECIES ACT ITSELF. WHICH WAS
SOMETHING THAT THIS HOUSE STOOD
FIRM ON, AND WE ENSURE THAT THE
PROPOSAL IT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY
HOLDS TIGHT THAT ENDANGERED
SPECIES ACT TO PROTECT OUR
SPECIES. AS CLIMATE CHANGE
CONTINUES, AND THOSE SPECIES
BECOME MORE THREATENED. IT
WASN'T EASY. IT WASN'T FAST. BUT
WE GOT TO THE PROPOSAL FOR YOU
TODAY. AND YOU HEARD FROM OUR
COLLEAGUE IN PALMDALE, AND I
APPRECIATE EVERYONE KEEPS
CALLING IT A DELICATE BALANCE,
BUT WHAT I THINK REALLY IS THE
RIGHT BALANCE FOR THE SPECIES.
FOR POLICY AND FOR THE FUTURE OF
OUR STATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT
THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR I
VOTE. THANK YOU, MR BARROW CANE,
SEEING NO OTHER MEMBERS WISHING
TO ADDRESS THE BILL, MR TANG

KEEP MORE MONEY IN THEIR
WALLETS. INSTEAD OF SPENDING IT
AT THE GAS PUMP. I'M STANDING

LESS AFFORDABLE. PEOPLE ARE
LEAVING OUR STATE. THE LOS
ANGELES TIMES JUST STARTED A

BUDGET AND FISCAL REVIEW,
MANACLED AND TRANSPORTATION AND
MAKING AN APPROPRIATION,
THEREFORE, TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY. BILL RELATED TO THE
BUDGET OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. SB 1 25 IS OUR
TRANSPORTATION TRAILER BILL, THE
CONTENTS OF WHICH PRIMARILY ARE
AROUND THE ACCOUNTABILITY
METRICS AROUND THE $5.1 BILLION
FOR OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
OPERATORS. IN PARTICULAR. THE
BILL REQUIRES SHORT TERM AND
LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANS FOR
REGIONAL PLANNING AGENCIES IN
ORDER TO TURN THE FUNDING FROM
CAPITAL INTO OPERATIONS. IN
ADDITION, THE SHORT TERM
FINANCIAL PLAN FOCUSES ON HOW
THE AGENCY WILL BECOME MORE
WRITER FOCUSED AND ALSO HOW THEY
WILL INCREASE RIDERSHIP AS WELL
AS MITIGATE SERVICE CUTS AND
FARE INCREASES. IN ADDITION,
THERE HAVE TO BE FLEET AND ASSET
MANAGEMENT PLANS. SERVICE PLANS
EXPENDITURES ON SAFETY. WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE OPERAS
ARE MORE FOCUSED ON CLEANLINESS
ON SAFETY, AS WELL AS MAKING THE
WRITER EXPERIENCE BETTER. IN
ADDITION, THE LONG TERM
FINANCIAL PLAN HAS TO FOCUS ON
RIDERSHIP RETENTION, AS WELL AS
RIDERSHIP INCREASE. AND THEN
LASTLY, THE ACCOUNTABILITY
METRICS ARE THERE TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE IS A PRIORITY FOR
THOSE CALIFORNIANS WHO ARE
DEPENDENT ON TRANSIT. THOSE WHO
HELL OR HIGH WATER HAVE TO WRITE
TRANSIT NO MATTER WHAT, SO
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE CUSTOMERS
ARE ALSO TAKEN CARE OF WITH THAT
RESPECT FOR US FOR I VOTE ON SP
1 25. THANK YOU, MR TING, A
SIMILAR VINCE VAUGHN. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE
IN OPPOSITION TO SB 1 25. WHILE
I ACKNOWLEDGE THE NEED TO HELP
TRANSIT OPERATIONS IN OUR STATE
, THERE ARE SERIOUS QUESTIONS ON
HOW TRANSIT AGENCIES PLAN TO
RECRUIT RIDERSHIP OR SOLVE THE
STRUCTURAL ISSUES THAT HAVE LED
TO A PRECIPITOUS DECLINE IN
RIDERSHIP DECLINE THAT EXISTED
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, BUT HAS
ACCELERATED SINCE THEN, BILLIONS
AND BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS IN A TRANSIT BAILOUT
WITHOUT MORE ACCOUNTING,
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES WILL
ONLY PERPETUATE A BROKEN AND
UNSUSTAINABLE STATUS QUO
MEMBERS. I'M AFRAID MADE WE WILL
BE BACK HERE AGAIN ON THIS VERY
FLOOR, DEBATING THE SAME ISSUES.
ASKING FOR MORE MONEY TO GO INTO
TRANSIT THAT CANNOT BE
SUSTAINED. URGENT A VOTE THANK
YOU, MR FONG AND SOME MEMBER
GALLAGHER, DO YOU RECOGNIZED ON
THE BILL? YES. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. THIS IS
EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE BILL FOR
US TO GO FORWARD AND BAILOUT
MASS TRANSIT WITHOUT DEMANDING
REAL REFORMS WITHOUT DEMANDING
REAL ACCOUNTABILITY. AND THAT'S
NOT JUST ME SAYING IT. IT'S THE
SENATOR. FROM THE BAY AREA
THAT'S SAYING THAT THIS IS NOT
REAL REFORM. MASS TRANSIT. HAS
BECOME MASS TRANSIENT. IT'S NOT
SAFE. TO RIDE MASS TRANS. THAT'S
WHY SO MANY PEOPLE ARE AVOIDING
GOING ON MASS TRANSIT BECAUSE WE
DO NOT ENFORCE. WE DO NOT
PROVIDE FOR THAT SAFETY FOR
PEOPLE THAT ARE WRITING THESE
SYSTEMS. MEANWHILE WE HAVE WE DO
HAVE EXAMPLES OF FRAUD GOING ON
IN THE SYSTEM THAT HASN'T BEEN
ADDRESSED. SO FOR ME TO SIT HERE
AND HAVE OTHER TAX ALL THE
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS. BAIL OUT
THESE MASS TRANSIT SYSTEMS
WITHOUT HAVING REAL
ACCOUNTABILITY IS WRONG. IT'S
WRONG THAT THIS ALSO RELIES ON
TOFFEE'S THAT ARE GOING TO BE
INCREASED, NOT ON THE PEOPLE
THAT LIVE IN THOSE CITIES. BUT
ON THE OUTLYING AREAS, PEOPLE IN
THE NORTH BAY PEOPLE IN MY
DISTRICT UH, THEY MAYBE COMMUTE
DOWN TO THE BAY AREA. INSTEAD OF
BUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WHO ARE
RIDING MASS TRANSIT IN THESE
AREAS, NOBODY'S AGAINST MASS
TRANSIT. BUT IT NEEDS TO BE THIS
NEEDS TO BE GOD BEGOTTEN, RIGHT?
WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO BAIL OUT
SYSTEMS THAT ARE FAILING. YEAH
THEY CAN'T RECOUP THEIR COSTS.
HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO DO THIS? AND ALL
THIS WHILE. YOU'RE MAKING ALL
THE CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS PAY FOR
THIS. AT THE END OF THE DAY. AND
ALL THIS WHILE YOU WON'T EVEN
STOP. THE GAS TAX INCREASE THAT
EVERYBODY'S GOT TO PAY. YOU
WON'T EVEN DELAY THAT THE
INCREASE IN THAT HAVE YOU FILLED
UP YOUR CARS LATELY? WHEN YOU
DRIVE? IT'S WELL OVER $4 A
GALLON. PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING.
AND THERE'S NOT ONE THING IN
THIS BUDGET THAT ACTUALLY LOWERS
THEIR COSTS. IN FACT, WE'RE
RAISING THEIR COSTS. WITH THE
ENERGY TRAILER BILL THAT WE JUST
PASSED WERE RAISING THEIR COSTS.
UTILITY COSTS GOING UP GAS
PRICES GOING UP. BUT WE'RE GOING
TO USE YOUR TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO
BAIL OUT MASS TRANSIT. THAT'S
NOT WORKING FOR ANYBODY RIGHT
NOW. IT'S WRONG. AND WE COULD DO
SOMETHING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW BY
NOT VOTING FOR THIS BILL AND
STOPPING THIS IN ITS TRACKS
RIGHT NOW. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MR GALLAGHER, SEEING NO OTHER
MEMBERS WISHING TO SPEAK ON THIS
BILL. IS THERE ANYTHING FURTHER
TO CLOSE? THANK YOU, MR SPEAKERS
. SB 1 25. I THINK OUR MINORITY
LEADERS MISTAKEN. THERE IS
NOTHING IN HERE AROUND TOLL
INCREASES. THAT'S A SEPARATE
BILL THAT'S BEING PROPOSED IN
THE SENATE. UH WHAT THIS IS THIS
IS ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE
SAVING OUR ENVIRONMENT.
TRANSPORTATION IS 40% OF OUR
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. WE
CANNOT GET TO CLARK CLIMATE
CHANGE GOALS WITHOUT PUBLIC
TRANSIT, PUBLIC TRANSIT.
ABSOLUTELY HUGE PART OF THAT
SOLUTION IN TERMS OF
ACCOUNTABILITY METRICS.
ABSOLUTELY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THESE AGENCIES ARE
FINANCIALLY VIABLE. WE'VE
INVESTED BILLIONS AND BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS ALL AROUND THE STATE
IN BUSSES IN RAIL AND TRENDS IN
VEHICLES IN MAKING SURE THAT WE
HAVE MORE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.
WE CANNOT LET THOSE INVESTMENTS
GO TO WASTE. WE HAVE TO DO
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HELP OUR
AGENCIES GET THROUGH THIS BUBBLE
NOW. THE STATUS QUO IS NOT GOOD
ENOUGH. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH
MANY OF THE COMMENTS FROM, UH,
MY COLLEAGUES FROM BAKERSFIELD
TO NICHOLAS. THE STATUS QUO IS
ABSOLUTELY NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
THERE HAS TO BE MORE CLEANLINESS
. THERE HAS TO BE MORE SAFETY.
THERE HAS TO BE MORE RIGHT OR
FOCUS. BUT GUESS WHAT? IF
SOMEONE NEEDS A RIDE, YOU DON'T
LEAVE THEM ON THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD. YOU HELPED THEM GET TO
WHERE THEY'RE GOING, AND FOR SO
MANY FOLKS WHO ARE RELYING ON
TRANSIT TO GET TO WORK. TO GET
TO SCHOOL JUST TO GET THROUGH
THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES. WE CANNOT
STRAND THEM. THESE ARE SOME OF
OUR MOST VULNERABLE CALIFORNIANS
WHO REVIVED WHO RELY ON THE BUS
WHO RELY ON OUR TRAIN SYSTEM. UH
WHILE MANY OF US COULD BE VERY
FORTUNATE AND ARE ABLE TO OWN
CARS IN THIS BODY, MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS ARE NOT SO WE NEED
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT
LEAVING THEM STRANDED SO THEY
CAN GET TO WORK AND GET TO
SCHOOL AND GO ABOUT THEIR DAILY
LIVES WITH THAT. I RESPECTFULLY

SETTLEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE
2019 KINCADE FIRE IN THE 2020

TAX AVOIDANCE STRATEGY.
INDIVIDUALS CAN TRANSFER HIGHLY
APPRECIATED ASSETS TO AN OUT OF

GOVERNOR, TOUTING THAT HIS
BUDGET DID NOT INCLUDE ANY TAX
INCREASES DURING HIS TRAVELS TO
FLORIDA TO ATTRACT NATIONAL
HEADLINES, THIS TRAILER BILL
WOULD INCREASE TAXES ON
INCOMPLETE NON GRANTOR TRUST.
CALIFORNIANS WHO PLANNED FOR
THEIR FUTURE OVER THE OVER THE

BUDGET AND FISCAL, REVIEW AN
ACCOLADE INTO THE MOTION PICTURE

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION,
THEREFORE TO TAKE EFFECT
IMMEDIATELY, BUT WILL LEAD TO
THE BUDGET. AS A ROUTINE ME OPEN
ON THE BILL. THANK YOU. SB 1 32
IS OUR FILM TAX CREDIT. LET ME
FIRST START OFF BY THANKING OUR
BUDGET SUB CHAIR FROM LOS
ANGELES FOR REALLY LEADING THE
EFFORT ON THIS TAX CREDIT. THIS
IS 1/4 VERSION OF THIS TAX
CREDIT. IT WILL TAKE EFFECT FROM
2025 TO 2030 B $330 MILLION A
YEAR AND WELL, ACTUALLY. MAKE
SURE THAT WE KEEP THIS CRITICAL
INDUSTRIES, THE MAJOR INDUSTRY
IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, HERE IN
CALIFORNIA, IT ALSO EXPANDS THE
CAREER PATHWAYS TRAINING
PROGRAMS, SO THERE'S A PATHWAY
TO INCREASING THE DIVERSITY OF
THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM. IN
ADDITION, IT ALSO INCREASES
STAFFING AT THE CALIFORNIA FILM
COMMISSION TO INCLUDE TWO
POSITIONS. AND ALSO EXPANDS THE
CALIFORNIA FILM COMMISSION BOARD
. IN PARTICULAR. IT ALSO ADDS A
SET SAFETY PROVISIONS AS A PILOT
FOR THE PROGRAM OF THE FOUR
POINT THE FILM TAX CREDIT 4.0
BUT AGAIN, ULTIMATELY, THIS IS A
VERY CRITICAL TAX CREDIT FOR
VERY HARDWORKING PEOPLE ALL OVER
THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ALL
OVER CALIFORNIA TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FILM INDUSTRY STATES
HERE THAT GREW HERE STAYS HERE
AND CONTINUES HERE WITH THAT
RESPECT FOR YOUR EYES FOR I VOTE
ON SB 1 32. THANK YOU, MR TING.
SOME MEMBER VINCE VAUGHN YOU
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER. AS WE
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE AS A COUNTRY
COMPETE AGAINST OTHER COUNTRIES.
WE ALSO MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE
COMPETE AGAINST OTHER STATES AND
KEEPING MAJOR INDUSTRIES IN
CALIFORNIA IS IMPORTANT, SO I
WILL SUPPORT THIS MEASURE,
THOUGH. WHILE WE FOCUS ON TRYING
TO KEEP CALIFORNIA COMPETITIVE.
I WOULD BE REMISS NOT TO MENTION
THE FACT THAT IT IS UNFORTUNATE
THAT THERE THAT THERE HASN'T
BEEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF FOCUS ON
PROVIDING TAX CREDITS FOR
MANUFACTURING. AND RECRUITING
AND SUPPORTING OTHER ESSENTIAL
INDUSTRIES THAT WE NEED IN
CALIFORNIA. INSTEAD OTHER STATES
ARE ENTICING CALIFORNIA
BUSINESSES AWAY FROM US WITH
THEIR TAX INCENTIVES, AND WE
MUST LOOK AT ALSO THE POLICIES.
BEING PASSED IN THIS BODY THAT
ARE INCREASING THE COST OF DOING
BUSINESS IN OUR STATE. SO WHILE
I DO URGE AND I VOTE I WILL. I'M
FRUSTRATED THAT WE AREN'T
LOOKING BROADLY AND MAKING
CALIFORNIA MORE COMPETITIVE.
THANK YOU, MR PONG AND SOME
WOMEN. MCKENNA, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. MR
SPEAKER, CHAIR AND MEMBERS I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF A B S. B 1 32
MEMBERS CALIFORNIA, CALIFORNIA
DOESN'T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
RETAINING AND GROWING JOBS IN
THE FILM AND TELEVISION INDUSTRY
AND INCREASING THE DIVERSITY OF
ITS WORKPLACE. IT CAN DO BOTH.
I'M A HOLLYWOOD KID. I GREW UP
ON FILM AND TELEVISION SETS THAT
BOTH OF MY PARENTS WORKED ON. I
GRADUATED FROM HOLLYWOOD HIGH
SCHOOL. I EVEN GOT TO DANCE ON
SOUL TRAIN. SERIOUSLY. I KNOW
FIRSTHAND THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
FILM AND TELEVISION INDUSTRY TO
LOS ANGELES AND OUR STATE'S
ECONOMY, WHICH IS WHY I HAVE
BEEN WORKING HARD THIS YEAR ON
DEVELOPING A NEW FILM TAX CREDIT
THAT WILL KEEP CALIFORNIA'S
WORKING IN THIS GOLDEN STATE
INDUSTRY WHILE ALSO TAKING STEPS
TO ENSURE THAT STUDIOS WHO
BENEFIT FROM TAX CREDIT ALSO
PRIORITIZE THE HIRING OF
INDIVIDUALS BEHIND THE CAMERA
THAT LOOKS LIKE CALIFORNIA. THE
CURRENT CALIFORNIA FILM TAX
CREDIT PROPOSAL BUILDS UPON
PREVIOUS WORK TO SOLIDIFY
CALIFORNIA AS THE ENTERTAINMENT
CAPITAL OF THE WORLD, BUT BUT
DOES NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDE
REQUIREMENTS TO INCREASE THE
DIVERSITY OF ITS BELOW LINE
HIRING. THIS PROPOSAL ONLY
REQUIRES GOOD FAITH EFFORTS.
FRANKLY THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
I WILL SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY.
WE SHOULD ALL EXPECT MORE FROM
ANY INDUSTRY THAT'S RECEIVING A
$330 MILLION SUBSIDY FROM
CALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS. IT IS
REASONABLE AND APPROPRIATE TO
REQUIRE CLEAR AND MEASURABLE
METRICS TO ENSURE THAT ALL
CALIFORNIA'S ARE ABLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN HOLLYWOOD'S
CREATIVE ECONOMY AND INCLUDE
PATHWAYS FOR A NEW GENERATION OF
DIVERSE WORKERS TO BUILD A
CAREER IN TELEVISION STREAMING
AND FILM. CALIFORNIANS FILM AND
TELEVISION INDUSTRY SHOULD
EMBRACE THIS AT A MOMENT WHEN
CALIFORNIA CAN DOUBLE DOWN ON
ITS LONG TERM COMMITMENT TO THE
CREATIVE ARTS INDUSTRY. THE
INDUSTRY MUST ALSO DOUBLED DOWN
ON ITS COMMITMENT TO REAL
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
IN THE WORKPLACE STUDIO OCEAN
EMBRACE WORKING WITH OUR HIGH
SCHOOLS, COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES TO IDENTIFY AND
ENCOURAGE NEW AND DIVERSE TALENT
BEHIND THE CAMERA. STUDIO SHOULD
EMBRACE WORKING WITH THEIR UNION
PARTNERS TO INCREASE PAID
INTERNSHIP AND PAID
APPRENTICESHIPS THAT WILL LEAD
TO MIDDLE CLASS CAREERS STUDIO
SHOULD TAKE AND DEMONSTRATE
ACTIONS NECESSARY TO SHOW
TAXPAYERS THAT THEY'RE COMMITTED
TO A DIVERSE, EQUITABLE AND
INCLUSIVE WORKFORCE AS THEY ARE
ABOUT THE PROFITS. THEIR NEXT
BIG BLOCKBUSTER OR AWARD WINNING
SERIES. IT IS A FOR A FALSE
CHOICE FOR ANYONE TO SAY THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
RETAINING AND GROWING JOBS IN
THE FILM AND TELEVISION INDUSTRY
AND INCREASING THE DIVERSITY OF
ITS WORKFORCE MEMBERS CAN AND
MUST MEMBERS WE CAN AND MUST DO
BOTH. BUT TODAY I WILL VOTE AYE.
ON THIS. THIS BILL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MISS MAKIN ER AND A
SEVEN MINUTE SUBURB. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE
IN STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 1 32 AS

PRODUCTION AND CAPABILITY AND
FACILITIES AND COUNTLESS WORKERS
AND FAMILIES WHO DEPEND ON THIS
INDUSTRY FOR A LIVING. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SB 1 32, WHICH
CEMENTS CALIFORNIA'S LEADERSHIP
IN THE FILM INDUSTRY. THIS BILL
IS IMPORTANT NOT ONLY TO MY
DISTRICT BUT TO ALL OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIA. THE
FILM INDUSTRY IS SYNONYMOUS WITH
THE CALIFORNIA DREAM, AND IT'S
IMPORTANT TO OUR ECONOMIC
VITALITY CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. I
WANT TO THANK OUR BUDGET SUB
CHAIR FROM LOS ANGELES AS WELL
AS MEMBERS FROM INGLEWOOD AND
THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND MANY
OTHER AND THEY L. A DELEGATION
FOR WORKING SO HARD TO IMPROVE
THIS BILL. UM SB 1 32 ADVANCES
OUR COMMITMENT TO PRODUCTION,
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION AND
SAFETY ADDRESSES RUNAWAY
PRODUCTIONS AND KEEPS PRODUCTION
HERE IN OUR STATE AND MAKES
CALIFORNIA MORE COMPETITIVE BY
ADDING A REFUNDABLE OPTION. IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT AS GEORGIA AND
NEW YORK AND EVEN NEW MEXICO
HAVE BEEN ADOPTING. UH THESE TAX
CREDITS TO LURE THIS PRODUCTIONS
AWAY FROM CALIFORNIA THAT WE
ADOPT THIS TODAY. BY SOME
ESTIMATES, NEARLY ONE IN 50
CALIFORNIANS WORK IN THE
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY OR
SUPPORTING FIELD. WE CANNOT
AFFORD TO LOSE THESE GOOD PAYING
OFTEN UNION JOBS TO OTHER STATES
. I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR
SUPPORT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,
MR ZUCKERBERG AND ASSEMBLYWOMAN
QUIRK-SILVA. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED
ON THE BILL. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TODAY
AS CHAIR OF THE ARTS,
ENTERTAINMENT, SPORTS AND
TOURISM COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL. BILL FIRST I WANT TO
THANK OUR BUDGET SUB CHAIR FROM
LOS ANGELES FOR HER HARD WORK.
ON THIS, UH. EFFORT IT HAS NOT
BEEN EASY. AND SHE, UH, WORKED
GRACEFULLY THROUGH THIS PROCESS
AS CHAIRMAN, ACUTELY AWARE OF
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROMOTING ARTS
AND ENTERTAINMENT IN CALIFORNIA
, AND HOW THIS VITAL INDUSTRY
SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT DRIVER OF
THE STATE'S ECONOMIC AND
CULTURAL ENGINE. THIS EXTENDS
CALIFORNIA'S FILM AND TELEVISION
TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, MAINTAINING
STABLE FUNDING AT $330 MILLION
PER YEAR AND CEMENTING
CALIFORNIA'S LEADERSHIP IN THE
FILM INDUSTRY. THE PROGRAM.
JENNIFER GENERATES SIGNIFICANT
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY WITH OVER 21.8
BILLION IN ECONOMIC OUTPUT
SUPPORTING 100 AND 10,000 JOBS
AND HAVING CONTRIBUTED 961
MILLION IN STATE LOCAL TAX
REVENUES FROM 2015 TO 2020. IT
EXPANDS THE REQUIREMENT FOR
FILMING OR PRODUCTION SPENDING
IN CALIFORNIA TO INCLUDE A 75%
OF POST PRODUCTION WORK,
ENSURING MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
IN STATE TALENT AND BUSINESSES.
CALIFORNIA HAS A DIVERSE
TAPESTRY OF CULTURES AND
DEMOGRAPHICS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY
. DIVERSITY IN THE PRODUCTION
INDUSTRY INDUSTRY HAS PREVIOUSLY
NOT MATCHED OUR STATE'S
COMMITMENT TO ENSURING A DIVERSE
AND EQUITABLE INDUSTRY AVAILABLE
TO ALL THIS BILL PRESENTS A
CRITICAL OPPORTUNITY HE
ADDRESSED TO ADDRESS THIS
DISPARITY AND ADDRESSES THE
ISSUE OF PRODUCTION DIVERSITY BY
DOUBLING THE CONTRIBUTION TO THE
STATES CAREER. PATHWAY PROGRAM
AND WITHHOLDING CREDITS FROM
PRODUCTIONS THAT FAILED TO FILE
A DIVERSITY WORK PLAN. FURTHER
IT ADDS A DEDICATED MEMBER TO
THE CALIFORNIA FILM COMMISSION
BOARD WITH EXPERTISE IN
DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION
, FURTHER EMPHASIZING THE
COMMITMENT TO PROMOTING
DIVERSITY IN THE INDUSTRY. THIS
BILL ALSO PRIORITIZES PRODUCTION
SAFETY BY MANDATING THE HIRING
OF SAFETY I ADVISORIES
CONDUCTING RISK ASSESSMENTS AND
IMPLEMENTING FIREARMS TRAINING
FOR ALL CALIFORNIA FILM
PRODUCTIONS, COUNTERS
COMPETITIONS FROM OTHER STATES
AND COUNTRIES BY INTRODUCING A
REFUNDABLE CREDIT OPTION,
ALLOWING PRODUCERS TO REALIZE
THE VALUE OF THEIR INVESTMENT.
AND FOR US TO REMAIN COMPETITIVE
. THE BILL SUPPORTS THE GROWTH
THAT CALIFORNIA'S ENTERTAINMENT
INDUSTRY BY ATTRACTING TV SERIES
THAT RELOCATE TO THE STATE,
CREATING THOUSANDS OF UNION JOBS
AND GENERATING BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS AND ECONOMIC OUTPUT.
FRIENDS WE WANT PEOPLE TO COME
TO CALIFORNIA STAY IN CALIFORNIA
AND FILM AND CALIFORNIA WITH
THAT. I ASK FOR YOUR VOTE ON SB
1 32. THANK YOU, MR QUIRK-SILVA
, AND SOME WOMAN FRIEDMAN
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. THANK
YOU, MR CHAIR AND MEMBERS I RISE
TODAY IN VERY STRONG SUPPORT OF
SB 1 32. I REPRESENTED MY
DISTRICT, DREAMWORKS WARNER
BROTHERS DISNEY, PART OF
UNIVERSAL AND MANY ANCILLARY
COMPANIES THAT THROW THAT THAT
ARE THERE TO SERVICE STUDIOS AND
STUDIO WORK NOW, WHEN THE
DIVERSITY ISSUES IN THIS BILL
WERE BEING DEBATED AND WE'RE
BEING WORKED ON OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF MONTHS. I HAVE TO SAY
THAT I WAS WORRIED THAT THIS
PROGRAM COULD BE THREATENED BY
THOSE TALKS. BUT I WANT TO THANK
TODAY ALL OF THOSE WHO BROUGHT
THOSE VERY SERIOUS ISSUES AND
CONCERNS FORWARD AND
PARTICULARLY THE SUB CHAIR WHO
NEGOTIATED A LOT OF THIS
AGREEMENT ALONG WITH OUR ARTS
CHAIR BECAUSE THEY TOOK A
PROGRAM THAT WAS A GOOD PROGRAM.
AND MADE IT A MUCH BETTER
PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP TO FOSTER
THE INCLUSIVITY THAT WE NEED IN
OUR STATE. THE EMPLOYMENT. AND
THE BENEFITS THAT THIS INDUSTRY
CONVEYS. NOW I MOVED TO LOS
ANGELES IN 1990 THROUGH WHEN I
GOT A JOB AT PARAMOUNT PICTURES
. I WORKED FOR OVER 20 YEARS AS
A STUDIO EXECUTIVE. IN THE
INDUSTRY. I WAS THERE, AND I
REMEMBER WHEN MY COMPANY FIRST
STARTED TO SEND PRODUCTIONS TO
CANADA. BECAUSE OF TAX CREDITS.
I REMEMBER DOING THE MATH. WITH
OUR COMPANY BECAUSE. EVEN THOUGH
THEY FILM MINISTRY MAY LOOK VERY
LUCRATIVE FROM THE OUTSIDE A LOT
OF TIMES THE FINANCIAL DECISIONS
ARE VERY ARE VERY TENUOUS AND
THE RISK THAT PRODUCTIONS TAKE
ARE VERY, VERY HIGH. SO ANY
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT CAN BE
SAVED BY PRODUCTIONS. THEY WILL
TAKE AND WE WERE SENDING 10
FILMS A YEAR TO CANADA TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THEIR FILM TAX
CREDIT PROGRAM. SO WHAT DID THAT
MEAN FOR MY NEIGHBORS AND MY
FRIENDS? WHAT THAT MEANT WAS
THAT MANY OF THEM DIDN'T HAVE
WORK THAT YEAR OR AS MUCH WORK.
OR IT MEANT THAT SOME PEOPLE IF
THEY WERE LUCKY, WERE OFFERED
THE CHANCE TO RELOCATE. FOR MANY
MONTHS, SOMETIMES FOR A YEAR
AWAY FROM THEIR FAMILY AWAY FROM
THEIR FRIENDS AWAY FROM THEIR
CHILDREN JUST TO BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE EARNING A LIVING. WHEN
WE STARTED THE FILM TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM HERE IN CALIFORNIA,
THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE
DIFFERENCE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. A
NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN MY
DISTRICT WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE
STRUGGLING. NOW BACK TO WORK,
PEOPLE WHO ARE COMPLAINING THAT
THEY HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN GOING
TO THEIR CHILD'S GRADUATION AND
HELPING WITH HOMEWORK. OR
STAYING HOME WITH THEIR FAMILY
NOW ABLE TO DO DO WHAT THEY WERE
WHAT THEY HAD ALWAYS DREAMED OF
DOING FOR A LIVING, BUT DO IT
RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA OR
RIGHT IN LOS ANGELES. AND THE
TOURISM AND THE ACTIVITY IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND ALL OF THE
BUSINESSES THAT THRIVE ON
ENTERTAINMENT, THE CRAFT
SERVICES BUSINESSES, THE PROP
HOUSES ALL OF THOSE WERE BACK AT
WORK. L, A AND OTHER PARTS OF
OUR COUNTRY THAT ARE FILMING
DESTINATIONS WERE BUZZING. WE
SAW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY
YEARS, THE EXPANSION OF OUR FILM
LOTS WITH CONSTRUCTION HAPPENING
AT UNIVERSAL AT WARNER BROTHERS,
AS THEY ADDED SOUND STAGES TO
DEAL WITH THE AMOUNT OF
PRODUCTION THAT WAS NOW STAYING
IN LOS ANGELES. AND THE BENEFITS
OF FITS OF THAT ECONOMICALLY
CANNOT BE OVERSTATED. MEMBERS
THE FILM INDUSTRY IS ONE OF OUR
ABSOLUTE SIGNATURE INDUSTRIES,
BUT DON'T ASSUME THAT IT WILL
ALWAYS STAY IN CALIFORNIA
BECAUSE STATES LIKE NORTH
CAROLINA, FLORIDA, NEW YORK CITY
ARE EAGER TO TAKE THAT BUSINESS
FROM US. SO I'M ABSOLUTELY
SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BILL TODAY,
THANKFUL FOR EVERYBODY WHO MADE
THOSE NEGOTIATIONS POSSIBLE? WHO
MADE THIS A BETTER BILL,
THANKFUL FOR THE PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN BUSINESS, THE STUDIOS
AND LABOR AND ORGANIZED LABOR TO
DO WHAT'S BEST FOR OUR
COMMUNITIES AND OUR WORKERS.
PLEASE VOTE I TODAY. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, MR FRIEDMAN. AND SOME
MEMBER GALLAGHER, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. YEAH.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. MEMBERS,
UM I JUST HAVE A REAL HARD TIME.
WITH THIS BILL, UM I APPRECIATE
. THE FILM INDUSTRY. THIS IS A
CALIFORNIA GROWN INDUSTRY. AND
THERE ARE MANY GREAT INDUSTRIES
IN THIS IN THIS STATE, AND
CERTAINLY WE WANT TO KEEP THOSE
JOBS. IN CALIFORNIA. SO I
UNDERSTAND THAT ARGUMENT. BUT
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT PEOPLE
THAT ARE REALLY HAVING A HARD
TIME. EVERYDAY CALIFORNIANS. ARE
STRUGGLING. AND WE'RE NOT GIVING
THEM A TAX CREDIT. WE'RE NOT
CUTTING THEIR COSTS. WE'RE DOING
THINGS HERE TODAY. IT'S JUST
GOING TO RAISE THEIR COSTS.
THEIR UTILITY BILLS. JUST KEEP
GOING UP. WHY IS IT HARD FOR
PEOPLE IN THE FILM INDUSTRY, AT
LEAST IN PART IT'S BECAUSE OF
THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IN
CALIFORNIA. IT IS A HIGH COST
PLACE TO LIVE. IT'S HARD TO MAKE
ENDS MEET FOR EVERYBODY. AND SO
LOOK, MAN, I THINK IT'S REALLY
TOUGH TO BE LIKE, HEY, WE'RE
GOING TO SINGLE OUT ONE
INDUSTRY. AND GIVE THEM A
BENEFIT THAT NOBODY ELSE GETS.
SOMEBODY MENTIONED. YOU KNOW, MY
COLLEAGUE FROM BAKERSFIELD
MENTIONED EARLIER. THERE'S NOT A
MANUFACTURING TAX CREDIT IN
HERE. AND WE'VE HAD
MANUFACTURERS YOU TRIED TO
LOCATE IN CALIFORNIA HAD SUCH A
HARD TIME LOCATING THE JOBS.
DON'T COME HERE. AND THEN YOU
ADD TO THAT THAT WE ARE DELAYING
THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
PAYMENT. TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. THAT NOW? STATE
GOVERNMENTS NOT PAYING THAT $750
MILLION WORTH, BY THE WAY. STATE
GOVERNMENTS NOT PAYING THAT, BUT
YOU KNOW WHO IS PAYING THAT
SMALL BUSINESSES UP AND DOWN THE
STATE WHO WASN'T THEIR FAULT
THAT WE HAD A $30 BILLION FRAUD
DEBACLE. AT THE E. D. D AND
WHAT'S THE MESSAGE TO THEM? HEY,
HOLLYWOOD, YOU GET A TAX BREAK,
YOU PAY UP. PAYOUT FOR OUR
FAILURE. THAT'S WRONG. I'VE
TALKED TO YOU ABOUT OUR
AGRICULTURE INDUSTRY. THAT'S
ALSO A VERY CALIFORNIA GROWN
INDUSTRY. IT'S GOING THROUGH
SOME OF THE TOUGHEST TIMES WE'VE
EVER SEEN LOW COMMODITY PRICES.
YES JUST FOR SOME REGULATORY
RELIEF THIS YEAR. MAYBE WE DON'T
GO TO FULLY ELECTRIC
REQUIREMENTS ON AG TRUCKS.
COULDN'T EVEN GET THAT. COULDN'T
EVEN GET A HEARING ON THAT.
ISSUE. BUT IF HOLLYWOOD NEEDS
SOMETHING, OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN. I'M SORRY.
THAT'S JUST FRUSTRATING. IT'S
NOTHING AGAINST THAT INDUSTRY. I
APPRECIATE IT. BUT MAN, IT'S
REAL HARD. TO LIKE JUSTIFY DOING
THIS WHEN WE'RE NOT DOING THAT,
FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE
STRUGGLING IN CALIFORNIA, A LOT
OF OTHER INDUSTRIES WHO COULD
USE THE SUPPORT TO AT A TIME
WHEN WE GOT A $40 BILLION
DEFICIT. I THINK WE JUST GOT TO
RETHINK THAT. I MEAN, I THINK WE
SHOULD AGAIN. I DON'T LIKE THIS
PROCESS. AT ALL. WHAT WE HAVE
TRANS WHAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH.
IN THE LAST 72 HOURS. IT'S NOT
THE RIGHT WAY TO DO BUSINESS.
BUT MAN. IT'S HARD TO JUSTIFY IT
IS HARD TO JUSTIFY THIS TAX
CREDIT WITH SO MANY OF THESE
OTHER ISSUES OUTLINED AND SO
MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLING, AND
WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO CUT
THEIR COSTS. THANK YOU, MR
GALLAGHER. AND SALLY WOMAN,
KOREA, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS FIRST. LET ME START OFF
BY THANKING OUR BUDGET CHAIR FOR
THE COLLABORATION ON THIS
PARTICULAR PIECE OF THE BUDGET
POLICY AND THE FILM TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM 4.0, AS WELL AS OUR
SPEAKER AND ALL THE OTHER
MEMBERS THAT HAVE ENGAGED IN
CONVERSATION. I WOULD LIKE TO
TAKE A MOMENT TO JUSTIFY THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE CALIFORNIA
FILM TAX CREDIT PROGRAM AND THE
IMPACT TO OUR ECONOMY, THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ACTUALLY
WENT THROUGH THE 2.0 VERSION OF
THIS PROGRAM, AND IT IS
ESTIMATED THAT FOR EVERY TAX
CREDIT DOLLAR APPROVED UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA FILM AND TAX CREDIT
PROGRAM AT LEAST $24.40 AN
OUTPUT $16.14 AND GROSS DOMESTIC
PRODUCT $8.60 IN WAGES AND $1.07
, AN INITIAL STATE AND LOCAL TAX
REVENUES HAVE RESULTED FROM THE
2.0 PROGRAM. WE ARE NOW ENTERING
THE 4.0 PROGRAM. THIS IS OVER
101 110,000 JOBS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA SPECIFICALLY
IMPACTING LOS ANGELES COUNTY AND
THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES. THIS
ARE THIS IS THESE JOBS ARE GOOD
UNION JOBS THERE. THIS IS A
TRILOGY NEGOTIATION IN WHICH WE
HAVE WORKED ON SET SAFETY
SUPERVISION AFTER WHAT HAPPENED
ON THE RUST SET IN A DIFFERENT
STATE, ENSURING THAT EVERYONE
FEELS SAFE WHILE ON THE SET.
SECONDLY, REFUND ABILITY, WHICH
ALLOWS MORE MEMBER COMPANIES OF
THE MOTION PICTURE ASSOCIATION
TO BE ABLE TO BENEFIT FROM THIS
TAX CREDIT PROGRAM, WHICH
ULTIMATELY RESULTS IN MORE JOBS
. AND LASTLY, THE DIVERSITY
COMPONENT. CALIFORNIA IS THE
ONLY STATE IN THE COUNTRY THAT
HAS PROPPED TWO OR NINE WHAT IS
PROP 209. IT ENDED AFFIRMATIVE
ACTION IN THE STATE, MEANING
THAT NO EMPLOYER CAN MANDATE
DIVERSITY. ON ANY INSTANCE WHEN
WE GET THE REPORT FROM THE FOOT
OF THE CALIFORNIA FILM
COMMISSION, IT IS ACTUALLY NOT A
FULL COMPLETE REPORT BECAUSE
EACH EMPLOYEE THAT WORKS ON A
PRODUCTION IS NOT MANDATED TO
GIVE ANY REPORTING ON THEIR
ETHNICITY OR GENDER OR ANY OTHER
, UH, DATA THAT WE CAN THAT WE
CAN POSSIBLY COLLECT. THAT IS A
SELF REPORTING. VOLUNTARY PIECE
OF INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED
. SO WHILE WE WORK ON ISSUES
RELATED TO DIVERSITY, WE ALSO
HAVE THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN
THE COUNTRY THAT WE CANNOT
ACTUALLY REQUIRE THAT DATA TO BE
PROVIDED. NOR CAN WE MANDATE
THAT DATA TO BE PROVIDED SO
WELL. CALIFORNIA CONTINUES AND
WANTS TO BE COMPETITIVE. NEW
YORK ANNOUNCED A $700 MILLION
TAX CREDIT PROGRAM. GEORGIA HAS
AN UNLIMITED TAX CREDIT PROGRAM
. NEW MEXICO, TEXAS ARIZONA. THE
LIST GOES ON OF OTHER STATES
ACROSS THE NATION THAT WANT TO
TAKE THIS KEY INDUSTRY AWAY FROM
CALIFORNIA AND ULTIMATELY, THE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ECONOMIC
INPUT THAT IT HAS ACROSS THE
STATE. NOT TO MENTION THE
MONUMENTAL IMPACT THAT IT HAS ON
SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS
COMMUNITIES WHERE PRODUCTION IS
ACTUALLY DONE. THIS IS A STEP IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION. WE ARE
ADDRESSING THE ISSUES ON ON ON
ALL THOSE THREE ITEMS THAT I
MENTIONED THE MAGIC TRILOGY THAT
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO NEGOTIATE
AND ULTIMATELY WOULD BE
CONTINUED AND ENHANCED. UM
INVESTMENT IN THE CAREER
PATHWAYS PROGRAM. WE WILL SEE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES, PRIMARILY IN
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, ALREADY IN
EXISTENCE WITH WEST L. A COLLEGE
POTENTIAL TO INCREASE THE
PROGRAM AT EAST LOS ANGELES
COLLEGE SOUTH L. A, UH,
SOUTHWEST L. A COLLEGE. EXCUSE
ME AND MISSION COLLEGE TO NAME A
FEW PLUS AN ADDITIONAL EXPANSION
TO POTENTIALLY NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. THIS IS A AN
INVESTMENT IN THE PEOPLE OF THE
STATE AND THE ECONOMIC INPUT TO
OUR STATE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF
THIS INDUSTRY TO CALIFORNIA AND
OUR ECONOMIC IMPACT. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AND
I VOTE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU,

AND RELATED TO THE STATE BUDGET,
MAKING A PUBLISHING, THEREFORE,
TO TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.
BUDGET BILL.
THANK YOU MEMBERS. MR TING, YOU
MAY OPEN ON A B 102. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER. A B 102 IS OUR
BUDGET BILL. IT'S BACK FROM THE
SENATE AGAIN. THIS IS A BUDGET
THAT IS THE SECOND LARGEST
BUDGET IN STATE HISTORY. IT HAS
$37 BILLION IN RESERVE AND WHY
IT RESERVES SO CRITICAL BECAUSE
WHEN WE WANT TO FUND OUR CORE
SERVICES AND EDUCATION,
HEALTHCARE HUMAN SERVICES THAT
RESERVE IS GOING TO BE THERE FOR
THOSE RAINY DAYS. THIS IS AN 8%
INCREASE IN OUR COLA FOR MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SACRAMENTO
REMINDED ME T K THROUGH 12 T K
THROUGH 12% INCREASE IN COLA AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. 5% CALL
INCREASE FOR UC CSU SO THIS IS
DEFINITELY A GREAT BUDGET FOR
EDUCATION. IN ADDITION, WE MOVE
CLOSER. TO HEALTH CARE FOR ALL
SOMEDAY WE'RE GOING TO GET THERE
AND THIS INTERESTS US ALONG THE
WAY. IT ALSO ACCOUNTS FOR MONEY
FOR THE M C O TAX THAT WE'RE
ABOUT TO VOTE FOR IN THE GENERAL
FUND BECAUSE IT'S RETROACTIVE TO
APRIL. ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL MONEY
TO HELP WITH OUR GENERAL FUND.
IN ADDITION, WE ALSO HAD MONEY
THEREFORE CALIFORNIA COVERED
CALIFORNIA SUBSIDIES TO MAKE
SURE THAT FOLKS WHO ARE ON
COVERED CALIFORNIA USING COVERED
CALIFORNIA GET THE HELP THEY
NEED SO THAT THEY COULD AFFORD.
HEALTH CARE ACCESS WITH THAT I
RESPECT FOR ASHER. I VOTE ON OUR
BUDGET BILL. A B 102. THANK YOU,
MR TING AND SOME MEMBER VINCE
PHªN. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. LET
ME FIRST ACKNOWLEDGED AGAIN. MY
COLLEAGUE FROM SAN FRANCISCO,
THE BUDGET CHAIR FOR HIS WORK.
WE MAY NOT AGREE ON EVERYTHING.
WE CERTAINLY HAVE DIFFERENT
PRIORITIES, BUT HE CERTAINLY HAS
MY RESPECT. I RISE IN OPPOSITION
TO MAYBE 102. CERTAINLY THERE
ARE ASPECTS OF THIS BUDGET THAT
ARE WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION. BUT
AT A TIME OF ECONOMIC
UNCERTAINTY, I WOULD ASK YOU ALL
TO LOOK A LITTLE DEEPER. LAST
WEEK. I HIGHLIGHTED THE VERY
FACT THAT THIS BUDGET WAS
UNSUSTAINABLE. MADE RISKY
REVENUE ASSUMPTIONS AND WAS NOT
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE.
UNFORTUNATELY WITH THIS NEW
AGREEMENT, THAT CONCLUSION IS
STILL THE SAME. WE AS A STATE
SIMPLY CANNOT AFFORD THIS
SPENDING PLAN. REVIEWING THE
GOVERNOR'S PROJECTIONS ON THIS
AGREEMENT. THIS BUDGET NOT ONLY
HAS DEFICITS INTO THE
FORESEEABLE FUTURE, THE DEFICITS
ARE EVEN LARGER. AND SOME WILL
HIGHLIGHT THE RESERVES THAT WE
HAVE, BUT AS MENTIONED BEFORE
THIS FRAMEWORK MAKES A VERY
RISKY REVENUE PROJECTIONS IF
REVENUES COMING CLOSER TO THE
INDEPENDENT LEGISLATIVE ANALYST
PROJECTIONS, AND EVERY RECESSION
OCCURS, NOT ONLY WILL THE
DEFICITS BE LARGER, THEY WILL
CONSUME MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF OUR
RESERVES. THIS MEMBERS IS NOT
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. LET ME
TAKE A MOMENT TO ADDRESS WHAT WE
ALL KNOW IS TRUE. THIS CHAOTIC
BUDGET PROCESS IS BROKEN. CLOSED
DOOR NEGOTIATIONS WITH NO PUBLIC
INPUT. WE HAVE A PROPOSAL THAT
HAS NEVER BEEN HEARD IN ANY
BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE OR BUDGET
COMMITTEE. NEVER. SEEING THE
LIGHT OF DAY UNTIL IT WAS
CONSTITUTIONALLY REQUIRED TO BE
PUBLIC. IT RESURRECTS A DEFUNCT
COMMISSION THAT HAS BEEN
DEFUNDED FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS. IT
SOMEHOW GETS INFUSED WITH $3
MILLION TO UPEND AND REGULATE
THE FRANCHISE BUSINESSES IN
CALIFORNIA. SMALL BUSINESSES IN
OUR COMMUNITIES, MANY OWNED BY
FAMILIES, VETERANS AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR. THESE BUSINESSES WILL BE
IMPOSED WITH HIGHER COSTS AND
REGULATIONS. AND NO ONE WILL BE
FORTHRIGHT ON HOW THIS PROPOSAL
CAME TO BE. SOME MAY ARGUE. THIS
IS JUST POLITICS. THIS TYPE OF
BACKGROUND POLICY MAKING WITH NO
TRANSPARENCY IS SIMPLY WRONG.
AND IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER
FOOT YOU WOULD SAY THE SAME
THING. JUST IN THIS ONE BILL.
THE DEPARTMENT OF WATER
RESOURCES WILL BE GIVEN THE
AUTHORITY TO BE THE CENTRAL
PROCURE OF ENERGY, POTENTIALLY
DISRUPTING THE STATE'S ENERGY
MARKET, WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT
ENERGY WILL BE MORE RELIABLE OR
AFFORDABLE. THE RESULTS WILL BE
HIGHER ENERGY COSTS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS. IN JUST A FEW
DAYS. THE GAS TAX WILL GO UP YET
AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE GOVERNOR'S
LACK OF LEADERSHIP AND FOCUS.
HE'S BEEN TRYING TO DEBATE A
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE INSTEAD
OF GIVING REAL RELIEF TO
CALIFORNIANS. THE IRONY IS THAT
THE GOVERNOR OF FLORIDA ACTUALLY
PROVIDED MOTORISTS RELIEF AT THE
GAS PUMP. AND FOR THOSE KEEPING
SCORE THE PRICE OF REGULAR
GASOLINE IN CALIFORNIA IS $4.83
VERSUS $3.33 IN FLORIDA. I HOPE
THE GOVERNOR WILL INVESTIGATE
THAT. AND WHILE THE GOVERNOR
WANTS TO DEFLECT AWAY FROM
RISING GAS PRICES, HE IS
IGNORING THE WARNINGS FROM
ENERGY EXPERTS OF A POTENTIAL
GASOLINE SUPPLY CHALLENGE THIS
SUMMER. DOMESTIC PRODUCTION IN
CALIFORNIA IS DECLINING DUE TO
STALLED PERMITS AND FOREIGN
IMPORTS ARE AT ITS CAPACITY.
REFINING CAPACITY IS ON THE
DECLINE. THE END RESULT OF THESE
DECISIONS ARE HIGHER ENERGY
PRICES. INSTEAD OF INCREASING
PRODUCTION AND SECURING OUR
STATE'S ENERGY SUPPLY. IT
APPEARS THE GOVERNOR THINKS THE
ONLY SOLUTION IS A NEW
COMMISSION, POLITICAL APPOINTEES
TO MICRO ENERGY ENERGY MARKET.
AND HOPEFULLY THAT COMMISSION
WILL GET GET DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
OF IT, BUT I'M NOT HOLDING MY
BREATH. THERE ARE EVEN MORE
PROPOSALS IN THIS BUDGET THAT
NEVER WERE VETTED IN COMMITTEE.
AND CALIFORNIANS ARE GOING TO
FIND OUT THE HARD WAY WITH
HIGHER COSTS, MORE REGULATIONS
AND MORE STATE BUREAUCRACY. HARD
WORKING CALIFORNIANS ARE GOING
TO BEAR THE BURDENS FROM THE
COSTS IMPOSED BY THIS BUDGET.
ALL THE WHILE THERE NEEDS TO BE
MORE FOCUSED ON WATER STORAGE,
FLOOD PROTECTION BUILDING MORE
ROADS IN IMPROVING CALIFORNIA
SUPPLY CHAIN. THESE CHALLENGES
FAIL TO GET THE ATTENTION IT
RIGHTFULLY DESERVES. RECENT POLL
FOUND THAT 40% OF RESIDENTS WANT
TO LEAVE OUR STATE 30 SECONDS,
PUSH THEM OVER THE EDGE. MAJOR
BUSINESSES, HOTELS, RETAILERS,
INSURANCE PROVIDERS, HOSPITALS
AND SMALL BUSINESSES ARE CLOSING
OR REFUSING TO BUSINESS IN OUR
STATE, CALIFORNIANS ARE PLEADING
FOR RELIEF FROM THE
AFFORDABILITY CRISIS GRIPPING
OUR STATE. WE HAVE TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THIS REALITY AND
UNDERSTAND THAT THE CAUSE OF
THESE PROBLEMS COME FROM THE
POLICIES COMING FROM THIS
BUILDING. REVIEWING THE DETAILS
OF THIS BUDGET, YOU WILL SEE THE
CALL SHIFTS TO DELAYS THE
ADDITION OF FUTURE DEBT AS THE
STATE GOVERNMENT HAS GROWN
SPENDING HAS GONE THROUGH THE
ROOF, AND IT'S FUNDAMENTALLY
UNSUSTAINABLE BECAUSE OF THAT
URGENT. OH, VOTE. THANK YOU. AND
MR GALLAGHER, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED
ON THE BILL. THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS AND, YOU
KNOW, LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO BE A
BROKEN RECORD, BUT IT NEEDS TO
BE SAID, UM THIS IS A VERY
FLAWED PROCESS. AND AS MY
COLLEAGUE JUST POINTED OUT, UM
NOT HAVING TRANSPARENCY NOT HAVE
HAVING THINGS SHOW UP IN TRAILER
BILLS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN DEBATED
THAT HAVEN'T BEEN VETTED AND
PROBABLY THE MOST EGREGIOUS
EXAMPLE IS THIS INDUSTRIAL
WELFARE COMMISSION THAT IS BEING
PUT BACK IN, YOU KNOW, PUT BACK
INTO SERVICE WITH $3 MILLION UM
AND IT'S DIRECTLY BEING DONE AS
WE KNOW TO CHALLENGE THE
REFERENDUM TO LEVERAGE YOU KNOW,
AGAINST THE REFERENDUM, WHICH IS
THE MOST DIRECT DEMOCRACY THAT
WE HAVE IN CALIFORNIA, BY THE
WAY, UM, SO TO USE THE PROCESS
TO ABUSE THE PROCESS IN THAT
WAY, IS PRETTY SHAMELESS. ALSO
WE ARE IN THIS BUDGET MAKING SAN
QUENTIN INTO A DAY SPA. $380
MILLION WITH NO PLAN. AND THAT'S
NOT ME, SAYING THAT THAT SOME OF
YOU SAYING THAT IN COMMITTEE YOU
KNOW, THIS IS A TERRIBLE PROCESS
, BUT WE'RE GOING ALONG WITH
THIS. WHY? BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR
WANTS IT. RIGHT? UM NO AUDIT.
ABSOLUTELY NO AUDIT FOR THE
HOMELESSNESS FUNDING THAT'S GONE
OUT. WE KNOW IT'S NOT WORKING.
WE'VE ALL SAID THAT, NOT JUST ME
. DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN SAYING
THIS, BUT THERE'S NO AUDIT OF
THIS FUNDING AND WE'RE SENDING
BILLIONS MORE OUT. TO ACCOMPLISH
THE SAME. NON OBJECTIVE. WE HAVE
MORE HOMELESS. WE HAVE MORE
ENCAMPMENTS. WE NEED TO FIND OUT
WHAT'S ACTUALLY WORKING. WHAT'S
WHAT? WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS TO GET
PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS. BUT
THAT'S NOT IN HERE. JUST MORE
SPENDING ON THE SAME FAILED
SYSTEMS. MORE MONEY AND
EDUCATION. GREAT. RECORD MONEY
AND EDUCATION. BUT WE STILL HAVE
KIDS NOT READING AT GRADE LEVEL.
WE STILL HAVE AN ACHIEVEMENT GAP
THAT'S NOT GETTING CLOSE, SO
WITHOUT REFORMS. THAT ACTUALLY
WOULD HELP CLOSE THAT
ACHIEVEMENT GAP THAT WOULD
ACTUALLY HELP ENSURE THAT OUR
KIDS ARE GETTING EDUCATION. MORE
MONEY ISN'T SOLVING THE PROBLEM,
FOLKS. AND THIS PROCESS. IT'S
HORRENDOUS. THIS IS NOT
DEMOCRACY. IT IS NOT DEMOCRACY
TO SAY 72 HOURS IN PRINT.
PROPOSALS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN
TO YOUR COMMITTEE'S. WE'VE NEVER
TALKED ABOUT THAT. THE PUBLIC
HAS NO ABILITY TO GIVE REAL
INPUT ON LET'S HAVE A VOTE ON
IT. ONE OF THESE IS SCHEDULED TO
COME UP THURSDAY AT ALMOST ONE
O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. I MEAN,
IS THAT THE WAY THAT WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO DO BUSINESS AND LOOK
ALL THESE TRAILERS BILLS? WITH
SWEEPING POLICY CHANGES AND
THESE AND THIS INFRASTRUCTURE
PLAN RIGHT. THAT COMES UP AT THE
LAST SECOND, AND WITH ALL THAT
THERE'S NO NEW MONEY FOR WATER
STORAGE THAT WE KNOW WE NEED
JUST COMING OUT OF THIS DROUGHT.
THERE'S NO STREAMLINING FOR
HOUSING. THAT'S THE BIGGEST
MISSING PIECE. WE JUST HAD UCSF
COME OUT AND SAY THE REAL
PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA IS YOU'RE
NOT BILLION OF HOUSING. WHERE IS
THE INFRASTRUCTURE? STREAMLINING
BILL. THE SEQUENCE STREAMLINING
BILL THAT ACTUALLY HELPS US
BUILD MORE HOUSING. IT DOESN'T
EXIST. HERE'S ANOTHER ISSUE.
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE'S MIND
INSURANCE. THEY'RE GETTING
CANCELED. AND A BIG PART OF THAT
IS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT GETTING ON
TOP OF WILDFIRE PREVENTION.
WHERE IS THE SEQUEL?
STREAMLINING. FROM THIS
GOVERNOR. TO STREAMLINE THE
PROCESS TO DO MORE WILDFIRE
PREVENTION TO ACTUALLY GET ON
TOP OF THE ONE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE
THAT'S LEADING TO OUR INSURANCE
CRISIS. IN THIS STATE. WHERE ARE
THOSE REFORMS? THEY'RE NOT
THERE. SOME OF THE MOST
FUNDAMENTAL THINGS FACING
CALIFORNIANS ARE NOT IN THIS
BILL ARE NOT IN THE PACKAGE OF
BILLS. AND PROBABLY THE MOST
TERRIBLE, UNDEMOCRATIC PROCESS
THAT WE'VE SEEN SINCE I'VE BEEN
IN THIS LEGISLATURE. AND VERY
LIKELY IN THE HISTORY OF THIS
LEGISLATURE. WE SHOULD REJECT
IT. I KNOW. I MEAN. SOMETIMES I
GUESS I HAVE TO BE THAT GUY. BUT
I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE SAID, AND
IT SHOULDN'T GO WITHOUT BEING
SAID. BUT WE CAN DO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT. AS I ALWAYS SAY. WE
DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS
PROCESS. WE ARE THE ELECTED
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND
WE CAN DEMAND DIFFERENT. THANK
YOU, MR GALLAGHER. AND SEEING NO
OTHER MEMBERS WISHING TO SPEAK
ON THIS BILL. MR. TING YOU MAY
CLOSE THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER.
FIRST LET ME ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE MY
ADVICE CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR FROM
BAKERSFIELD WHO HAS WORKED
TIRELESSLY ON THE BUDGET. I'M
GOING TO GET TO THANK YOU AT THE
VERY END OF THE PRESENTATION BUT
REALLY WANTED JUST APPRECIATE
HIM AND THANK HIM FOR ALL HIS
HARD WORK. HE BROUGHT UP A
COUPLE ISSUES AROUND. FISCAL
PRUDENCE AND NOW GOING DOWN THE
ROAD. I WAS THINKING ABOUT RIGHT
BEFORE I GOT UP HERE IN 2012.
THERE WAS A COVER OF THE
ECONOMIST. IN THE COVER SET IS
CALIFORNIA GOVERNABLE. BECAUSE
AT THAT POINT WE WERE FACING
DEFICITS ARE ABOUT 20% OF OUR
BUDGET 40% OF OUR BUDGET. UH WE
WERE SENDING OUT. I OWE US IN
THE LAST TURN DOWN IN 2008.
THERE WERE NO RESERVES. SO I
THINK I REALLY DO APPRECIATE OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM BAKERSFIELD
BECAUSE WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY VIGILANT
AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE
READY FOR WHATEVER THIS ECONOMY
THROWS AT US. THAT'S WHY THERE
IS A $37 BILLION RESERVE. THAT'S
WHY FOR ALL OF OUR ADDITIONAL
SPENDING EVERY YEAR, MOST OF IT
ALMOST 80% OF IT IS USUALLY ONE
TIME SPENDING SO THAT IT CAN BE
TURNED OFF. TURNED ON IT COULD
BE POSTPONED. IT COULD BE PUT
INTO BONDS. THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
WHY FOR THE LAST NUMBER OF YEARS
WOULD BE DOING EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE. IN THE SUCCESS. THE
PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING. WE
TALKED ABOUT EDUCATION FUNDING
WHILE WHILE OUR MINORITY LEADERS
RIGHT MONEY ISN'T EVERYTHING.
THE BOY TALK, TALK TO TEACHERS
AND TALK TO PARIS AND TALK TO
YOUR CLASSROOMS. ABOUT ONE AND
WHAT MONEY DOES MONEY HIRES
TEACHERS? MONEY'S HIRES NURSES.
MONEY'S MONEY, HIRES THOSE
SOCIAL WORKERS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEIR FOR OUR KIDS IN OUR
CLASSROOMS I REALLY DO
APPRECIATE THE CONSTANT DIALOGUE
THAT WE HAVE HERE REFLECT UPON
THE MEMBER FROM TENNESSEE, WHO
CAME TO VISIT US A COUPLE COUPLE
MONTHS AGO. AFTER HE WAS
EXPELLED FOR JUST EXERCISING HIS
ELECTED DUTY. AND IN THIS PARTY,
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE DO. WE HAVE
DEBATE. WE TALK ABOUT ISSUES,
AND I REALLY DO APPRECIATE ALL
THE ISSUES THAT WE AGREE ON AND
WHAT WE DISAGREE ON. AND FRANKLY
, WHILE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF
KABUKI HERE TODAY, WE AGREE ON
QUITE A BIT. AND YOU LOOK AT THE
FUNDING THAT WE HAVE FOR HOUSING
AND HOMELESSNESS AND HEALTH
CARE. AND YOU LOOK AT YOU KNOW,
I WOULD TAKE EXCEPTION THAT
THERE ISN'T HELP. FOR ORDINARY
CALIFORNIANS. BECAUSE THE
LARGEST REFUNDABLE TAX CREDIT
THAT WE ARE PROUD OF IS EARNED
THE COMPACTS. CREDIT MONEY FOR
HARDWORKING CALIFORNIA'S OUR
ENTIRE PORTFOLIO OF HUMAN
SERVICES. PUBLIC HEALTH. THAT'S
MONEY FOR HARDWORKING
CALIFORNIA'S WHO NEED A HAND UP.
WHO NEED OUR HELP. WE TALKED
ABOUT. WHY IS PUBLIC TRANSIT SO
IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE
RIDING PUBLIC TRANSIT, THEY
DON'T OWN CARS. MOST OF THEM.
THEY DON'T KNOW CARS THAT THEY
NEED THAT TRANSIT TO GET AROUND.
SO THIS BUDGET EVERYTHING IN
THIS BUDGET IS ALL ABOUT WHAT WE
ARE DOING TO PROTECT THE
CALIFORNIANS WHO NEED OUR HELP
THE MOST. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT
I THINK ABOUT EVERY SINGLE DAY.
THAT'S SOMETHING I REMIND OUR
BUDGET TEAM EVERY SINGLE DAY IS
THAT IF WE DON'T MAKE 40
MILLION. LIVES BETTER THAN WE'RE
NOT DOING OUR JOB IN THIS ONE.
THIS BUDGET MAYBE ONE OR TWO
DEFINITELY DOES WITH THAT I
RESPECT FOR I THROW MY VOTE ON A

A B 1 16 IS OUR CHILDCARE BILL?
UH THIS BILL PROVIDES 2.83
BILLION IN ONE TIME FUNDS FOR
CHILD CARE REIMBURSEMENT
INCREASES. 1.6 BILLION COMING
FROM FEDERAL AND GENERAL FUND
SOURCES ONE TIME AS WELL AS 1.15
BILLION FROM PROP 98 THAT WILL
HELP OVER THE NEXT TWO YEARS.
INCREASED CHILD CARE RATES,
WHICH HAVEN'T BEEN INCREASED.
SINCE 2016 LET ME JUST
ACKNOWLEDGE AND THANK OUR BUDGET
SUB CHAIR FROM SACRAMENTO. I
KNOW OUR MAJORITY LEADER. I KNOW
THE CHAIR OF THE VICE CHAIR OF
OUR WOMEN'S CAUCUS FROM WINTERS
HAVE ABSOLUTELY BEEN ADAMANT
ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT CHILD
CARE IS A PRIORITY. THIS IS A
BIG VICTORY FOR SO MANY
CHILDCARE PROVIDERS HAVE BEEN
STRUGGLING AND HAVING A VERY
HARD TIME EVER SINCE THE
PANDEMIC. WE RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR I VOTE ON A B 1 16. THANK
YOU, MR TANG IN SOME MEMBER
EVENTS FOLLOWING YOUR RECOGNIZED
ON THE BILL, THANK YOU, MR
SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF A B 1 16. CHILDREN
ARE STILL RECOVERING FROM THE
PANDEMIC. THIS BILL IMPLEMENTS
CHANGES STILL OCCURRING AS
CHILDCARE TRANSITIONS OUT OF
COVID REGULATIONS AND BACK TO
REGULAR ADMINISTRATION. URGENT
IVO. THANK YOU, MR FONG AND SOME
MEMBER MCCARTY. YOU RECOGNIZED
ON THE BILL. YES THANK YOU. I
KNOW THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT A LOT OF OUR BUDGET BILLS
TODAY, BUT JUST WANT TO
HIGHLIGHT THIS BECAUSE TWO
MONTHS AGO, THE ASSEMBLY
DEMOCRATS AND ON BEHALF OF THE
STATE ASSEMBLY SAID THIS WAS OUR
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY WE WANTED TO
ADDRESS IN THIS YEAR'S STATE
BUDGET AND I WILL SAY WE DIDN'T
. THIS IS NOT PERFECT. THIS IS
NOT ONGOING MONEY FOR CHILD CARE
, BUT IT'S A BIG BIG WIN
NONETHELESS. SO FOR TWO YEARS WE
GET STABILITY OF THE CHILDCARE
INDUSTRY ABLE TO PAY WORKERS A
LIVING WAGE. WE KNOW THAT
WORKERS IN THESE FIELDS
SOMETIMES QUALIFY FOR THE
PROGRAMS THAT THEY LITERALLY ARE
OVERSEEING. WE'RE PAYING POVERTY
WAGES. SO OUR MAJORITY LEADER
FROM COLTON AND THE LEGISLATIVE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS, OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM YOLO COUNTY, MADE SURE THAT
WE DIDN'T FORGET THIS ISSUES. WE
FINALIZE THE BUDGET. SO WE'VE
INCREASED LOTS GREATLY IN THE
PAST FEW YEARS, BUT WE HAVEN'T
INCREASED OUR RATE STRUCTURE
WITHOUT THE PROPER RATE
STRUCTURE. THOSE INCREASE OF
SLOTS IS MEANINGLESS, AND WE
ALSO HELP WORKING FAMILIES WHO
HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH BOTH
OVERALL ECONOMICS LAST FEW YEARS
BY ADDRESSING THE FAMILY FEE, SO
THIS WAS AN ISSUE THAT WE DIDN'T
WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND. BUT MAKE
MOST NO MISTAKE. THIS IS WHY
THIS IS AN A MINUS BUDGET AND
NOT AN A OR A PLUS. BECAUSE WE
NEED TO SETTLE UP ON THIS ISSUE
IN THE OUTCOME IN YEARS NOW
ONGOING MONEY TO SUPPORT OUR
CHILD CARE SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA.
THANK YOU, MR MCCARTY AND
MAJORITY LEADER REYES. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED ON THE BILL. I DO
WANT TO THANK ALL THOSE WHO
WORKED ON THIS BILL. THIS IS SO
IMPORTANT AND YOU'RE GOING TO
HEAR FROM THE PARENTS WHO ARE SO
GRATEFUL TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA FOR PROVIDING THIS
ASSISTANCE. WE HAVE MANY
CHILDCARE WORKERS WHO HAVE
RECEIVED NO RAISE NO COLA FOR
YEARS. THIS WILL FINALLY PROVIDE
A 25% INCREASE SOMETHING THAT
THEY HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS
AND YEARS AND YEARS. I WANT TO
THANK MY COLLEAGUE FROM OAKLAND
ALSO WHO HAS ELEVATED THIS
PARTICULAR ISSUE IN THE WOMEN'S
CAUCUS, AND IN SO MANY OF THE
OTHER MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE HAD
THIS IS IMPORTANT. OUR FAMILIES
OF BESIDES CHILDCARE WORKERS.
ALSO FAMILY FEES ARE GOING TO BE
WAIVED. WE'VE HAD BEEN WAVING
THEM FOR PERIODS OF TIME. THIS
WILL NOW PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL
WAIVER OF FAMILY FEES TO HELP
THE VERY FAMILIES THAT WE CAME
UP TO REPRESENT. SO I WANT TO
THANK OUR CHAIR. UH BUDGET CHAIR
. I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE CHAIR
OF BUDGETS UP TO FOR ALL OF YOUR
HELP TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS
HAPPENS AND OF COURSE, THE
WOMEN'S CAUCUS WHO DID SAY THIS
WAS THEIR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

REFERENCE TO FILE. WILL TAKE UP
81 19 CLERK WILL READ. ASSEMBLY
BILL 1 19 BY THE COMMITTEE ON
BUDGET ACCOLADE, MEDICO
DECLARING THE URGENCY THEY'RE
UPSET EFFECT IMMEDIATELY TAKING
ME OPEN ON THE BILL. THANK YOU,
MR SPEAKER. A B 1 19 IS THE
RENEWAL OF OUR MANAGED CARE
ORGANIZATION TAX. THIS IS THE
FIFTH ITERATION OF THIS TAX THAT
HAS THE SUPPORT FROM THE
INDUSTRY FROM WHICH IS TAXED.
AND AS WITH ALL MEDICAL PROVIDER
TAXES, INDUSTRY BEING TAXED GETS
REPAID. THE TAX OBLIGATION AS
WELL AS HIGHER MEDICAL RATES. UH
MOST OF THE MONEY THAT WE WILL
BE RECOUPING FROM THE TASK WILL
BE APPORTIONED FOR FUTURE
GENERAL FUNDS TO HELP US WITH
OUR BUDGET ITEMS. BUT IN THE
FUTURE, THE BULK OF THIS WILL BE
GOING BACK TO SHORE UP OUR
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. WE'VE GONE
THROUGH A COUPLE OF TOUGH YEARS
WITH COVID. WE SAW HOW HOSPITALS
PROVIDERS. EVERYONE'S BEEN
CLINICS HAVE BEEN HIT VERY, VERY
HARD. THIS IS A VERY MUCH NEEDED
MEDICAL INCREASE IN RATES THAT
WILL BE VERY CRITICAL,
ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE
INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE TAKING THE
BULK OF OUR MEDICAL PATIENTS
WITH THAT RESPECT FOR US FOR I
VOTE ON A B 1 19. THANK YOU, MR
TING AND SOME MEMBER VINCE WONG.
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THIS BILL.
THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. THIS
DEBATE HAS BEEN ONGOING AND I
KNOW A LOT OF MEMBERS HAVE BEEN
ENGAGED IN THIS DISCUSSION. I
PERSONALLY BELIEVE AS WE'VE
WATCHED THIS WHOLE DEBATE AND
SUE THAT THERE HAS TO BE MORE
GUARDRAILS TO ENSURE THAT THE
FUNDING WILL STAY IN THE MEDICAL
PROGRAM. WHILE MANY PROVIDERS
HAVE SHOWN A DESPERATE NEED FOR
REIMBURSEMENT INCREASES THIS IS
A TAX BORNE BY HEALTHCARE
INSURANCE PROVIDERS WITH REAL
IMPACTS, AND I CAUTION THAT THEY
SHOULD NOT BE SEEN AS A REVENUE
GRAB, ESPECIALLY AS MENTIONED
EARLIER. THE POTENTIAL FOR THIS
REVENUE TO BE TAKEN INTO THE
GENERAL FUND IF AND WHEN BUDGET
CONDITIONS WORSEN. I STILL HAVE
MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS, AND
BECAUSE OF THAT, I CANNOT
SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY. THANK
YOU, MR PONG AND SOME WOMAN
BEANS. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, SPEAKER. I JUST
WANTED TO TALK IN SUPPORT OF
THIS I WANT TO DO. UM THANK
EVERYONE FOR THEIR HARD WORK ON
THIS AS A PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT MEDICAL
REIMBURSEMENTS ARE YOU KNOW IT'S
BEEN SUCH AN ISSUE TO INCREASE
MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENTS. UM AND
THE NUMBER ONE THING WHEN IT
COMES TO HEALTH CARE WORKFORCE
IS MAKING SURE THAT OUR
POSITIONS HAVE THE APPROPRIATE
RESOURCES. TO PROVIDE CARE.
SPECIFICALLY THIS BILL MAKES
SURE THAT WE HAVE MONEY FOR
PRIMARY CARE, OBI GEIN AND
MENTAL HEALTH UM, VERY GOOD WORK
. THANK YOU GUYS. SO MUCH FOR
PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. THIS IS
HISTORIC, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY
AN AMAZING AMAZING OPPORTUNITY
FOR US AS LEGISLATORS TO GO BACK
TO OUR COMMUNITIES AND TELL THEM
WHAT WE ARE DOING TO STRENGTHEN
OUR HEALTH CARE. IT IS AN
ABSOLUTE STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER. THANK
YOU, DR BAINES. AND SOME MEMBER
WEBER YOU RECOGNIZED ON THE
BILL. THANK YOU, MR SPEAKER. I
TOO WANT TO THANK OUR BUDGET
CHAIR, OUR GOVERNOR'S OFFICE AND
ALL OF THE STAKEHOLDERS THAT, UM
, WEIGHED IN ON THIS, AS WAS
STATED BY MY OTHER COLLEAGUE ON
THE FLOOR, WHO IS ALSO A
PHYSICIAN. THIS IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT AND WE SHOULD ALL BE
VERY, VERY PROUD OF THIS. WE'VE
HEARD A LOT LATELY ABOUT THE
ISSUE OF MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT
RATES BEING EXTREMELY LOW. WE'VE
HEARD A LOT ABOUT CLINICS
CLOSING. WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT
HOSPITALS CLOSING, AND A LOT OF
THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT
THAT WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE
FUNDS TO ATTRACT PHYSICIANS. WE
DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO KEEP
DOORS TO CLINICS AND HOSPITALS
OPEN AND SO ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT
AS FAR AS WE NEED TO GO IT IS AT
LEAST THE FIRST STEP. AND SO I
REALLY WANT TO THANK THE
LEGISLATURE. OUR BUDGET
COMMITTEE, UM AND OUR GOVERNOR
AND EVERYONE OUTSIDE WHO WORKED
ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS A BIG
DEAL. IT WOULD BE A VERY BIG
DEAL FOR ALL OF THE COMMUNITIES
THAT WE ALL SERVE THE PHYSICIANS
AND THEIR PATIENTS. SO THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, DR WEBBER AND
SUMMER WOULD YOU RECOGNIZED ON
THE BILL? YES I TOO WANT TO
START TO STAND UP AND SPEAK IN
FAVOR OF THIS BILL. THIS IS A

HERE TO STABILIZE THE SYSTEM
THAT'S SO CRITICAL TO SO MANY OF
CALIFORNIANS. THIRD OF
CALIFORNIANS RELY ON THE MEDICAL
SYSTEM 60% OF CHILDREN IN
CALIFORNIA RELY ON THE MEDICAL

THE COSTS ARE APPROPRIATE. AND
IF EVERY DOLLARS BEING SPENT

RENAMES THE SAN QUENTIN STATE
PRISON TO THE SAINT QUENTIN
REHABILITATION CENTER AS WELL AS

STREAMLINING PROVISIONS FOR THE

REHABILITATION OF THAT BUILDING.
IN ADDITION, THERE IS INTENT
LANGUAGE HERE REGARDING THE
FUTURE OF HOW AGGRESSIVELY THE
CORRECTION SYSTEM NEEDS TO FOCUS
ON CONSOLIDATION AND MAKING SURE
THAT WE ARE PROPERLY SHRINKING
THIS SYSTEM WE CURRENTLY HAVE
ABOUT 14,000 EMPTY BEDS IN OUR
CORRECTION SYSTEM. AND AT A TIME
WHEN WE ARE FACING VERY TOUGH
FISCAL DECISIONS, IT DOESN'T

OUTLINES THE SPENDING PLAN FOR
THE NEW M CEO TAX, WHICH WAS

INCREASES MEDICAL PROVIDER RATES
FOR PRIMARY CARE. OH BE CARE,
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE TO BRING
THESE UP TO 87.5% OF MEDICARE
FUNDING $150 MILLION TO DISTRESS
HOSPITALS, $50 MILLION IN
SEISMIC COSTS FOR SMALL AND
RURAL HOSPITALS. $75 MILLION FOR

DEAL HAS BEEN ANXIOUSLY AWAITED
, AND MANY OF THESE MEDICARE
REIMBURSEMENT RATE INCREASES
HAVE BEEN REQUESTED FOR YEARS.
AND THAT IS SUPPORTABLE,
DEDICATING FUNDING TO HOSPITALS
THAT ARE FINANCIALLY DISTRESSED
AT RISK OF CLOSING AND
SUSCEPTIBLE TO SEISMIC IS
URGENTLY NEEDED. AND I COMMEND
THE MEMBERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE
AISLE THAT HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING
FOR THAT. HOSPITALS IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY AND RURAL AREAS
HAVE STRUGGLED WITH INCREASING
COSTS AND MANDATES. AND ON THE
VERGE OF PERMANENT CLOSURES, BUT
MANY QUESTIONS THAT REMAIN AS I
INDICATED PREVIOUSLY WE SHOULD
BE CONCERNED OF THE USE OF MCO
TAX REVENUES TO BALANCE THE
GENERAL FUND BUDGET IN THE
FUTURE. WE SHOULD ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE
MEDICAL PROVIDERS IN NEED OF
ASSISTANCE THAT HAVE BEEN CUT
OUT OF THE STAKEHOLDER PROCESS.
