THE LARGEST PROVIDER OF LOW COST
VETERINARY CARE NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA. MORE THAN THREE
QUARTERS OF THE INNER CITY

JUST AN URBAN PROBLEM IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE NATIONAL SURVEY SHOWS
THAT FOURTEEN CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES RANKED IN THE BOTTOM
25% ON THE VETERINARY CARE SAID
ACCESSIBILITY SCORE. WHICH MEANS
THERE IS LIMITED. ARE EXTREMELY
LIMITED. OR NO ABILITY TO SEE A
VETERINARIAN THE OVERALL SCORE
FOR CALIFORNIA WAS FORTY SEVEN
OUT OF ONE HUNDRED WITH THE
CENTRAL VALLEY NORTH STATE
FEARING THE WORST BY COMPARISON
NEBRASKA HAS A SCORE SEVENTY
ONE. AND EVEN IF THEY CAN FIND
OF THAT IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD
COUNTY OR REGION MANY
CALIFORNIANS CANNOT AFFORD THE
COST OF THE TREATMENT THE
RESULTS ARE PREDICTABLE AND
HEARTBREAKING. OUR STATE CHIEF
IN ASIA RATE IS CLIMBING AFTER
YEARS OF DECLINE PUBLIC
FACILITIES ARE FORCED FORCED TO
EUTHANIZE ANIMALS IN ORDER TO
MAKE SPACE FOR MORE. CATS AND
DOGS WITH TREATABLE MEDICAL
CONDITIONS AND UP AT THE FRONT
OF THE LINE BECAUSE PUBLIC

ERRAND IN A TIGHT LABOR MARKET.
IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US ANIMAL
WELFARE GROUPS COMMUNITY
PARTNERS FOSTER FAMILIES AND
ELECTED OFFICIALS TO RECOVER THE
MOMENTUM CALIFORNIA HAD JUST A
FEW YEARS AGO. AND IT WILL TAKE
MONEY WE CAN SPEND THAT MONEY ON
EXPANDING FACILITIES AND HIRING

THANK MEMBERS I THIS BILL
UPDATES THE PROCESS FOR
WITHDRAWING INITIATIVES FROM THE
BALLOT AND IMPROVES THE ABILITY
OF INITIATIVE PROPONENTS OF THE
LEGISLATURE TO ACTUALLY
COLLABORATE ON A LEGISLATIVE
SOLUTION RIGHT NOW IN ORDER FOR
A PROPONENTS OF A BALLOT
INITIATIVE TO REMOVE. THEIR
PROPOSED MEASURE FROM THE
BALLOT. ALL OF THE PROPONENTS
HAVE TO AGREE TO DO SO THESE ARE
THE FOLKS WHO SIGN THE ON THE
BALLOT PROPONENT- THE TO SIGN
INITIATIVE NOT NOT NOT NOT ALL
THE MEMBERS THE PUBLIC THERE'S
USUALLY ONE OR TWO. OCCASIONALLY
A FEW MORE WHO WHO ARE THE
SIGNATORIES. ARE THE PROBLEM
RIGHT NOW IS THAT YOU CAN HAVE A
SITUATION WHERE. IF YOU HAVE A
WHOLE BUNCH OF DIFFERENT
OPPONENTS WHO SIGNED THE- THE
MEASURE- IT'S POSSIBLE FOR
MAJORITY DEGREE TO MOVE THE
MEASURE REMOVED THE MEASURE FOR
THE BALLOT AS A RESULT OF THE
NEGOTIATED DEAL WITH THE
LEGISLATURE YOU'RE A SINGLE HOLD
OUT. IN DISAGREEING FORCE THE
MEASURE TO STATEWIDE ELECTIONS
OF THIS IS GOING TO ALLOW A
MAJORITY OF THE OFFICIAL
PROPONENTS TO AGREE TO WITHDRAW
ON INITIATIVES. I HAD TO ALLOW
FOR A GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT POLICY
DELIBERATION LISTED ALTERNATIVES
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE- THE
PEOPLE KEEP ASKING US TO IS YOU
KNOW LIMIT THE NUMBER OF
MEASURES TO GO TO THE BALLOT IF
WE CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION
AND THE REASON WHY WE PASSED. A
YOUTH CENTER STEINBERG A FEW
YEARS BACK HE DID THAT MEASURE
THAT ALLOWED US TO NOW- KICK
NEGOTIATIONS TO THE LEGISLATURE
WHEN A MEASURE IS QUALIFYING FOR
THE BALLOT IN ITS ACTUALLY
RESULTED IN A LOT OF WHAT IS THE
SOLUTIONS THAT ARE MUCH MORE
FLEXIBLE AND- I HAVE BEEN AT
WORK MUCH BETTER THAN. THAN
HAVING THE- YOU KNOW THE
LANGUAGE OF A BALLOT MEASURE GO
TO THE BALLOT WITH NO
FLEXIBILITY IN. BUT MUCH MUCH
HARDER TO CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.
SO I'M NOT WHAT WE'RE TRYING
ADDRESS HERE AND WITHOUT AYE HE
RESPECTS RESTAURANT ABOUT. THANK
YOU. HAVING ANSWER QUESTIONS-
THANK YOU MAY DO THINGS
DIFFERENTLY INAPPROPRIATE OCEAN
IT'S BEEN SECONDED. I WILL TURN
TO THE PUBLIC IS THERE ANYONE
FROM THE PUBLIC THERE WOULD LIKE
TO COMMENT ON THE BILL. IN FAVOR
OR OPPOSE. PHENOM WE'RE BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE THEY ARE IN NO. A
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE CENTER.
YEAH I MEAN THE SECTOR STATES
ESTIMATES MINOR COST IMPLEMENTED
UPDATE INFORMATION MATERIAL- BUT
ACTUALLY THEY THEY SHOW. THE
POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT
SAVINGS IN PRINTING VOTER
INFORMATION GUIDES. IF YOU ARE
MEASURES APPEAR ON THE BALLOT
BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO
RESOLVE THE ISSUES- THIS THIS
REALLY DOES KIND OF FEEL THE
SPIRIT OF SP TWELVE FIFTY THREE
THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER. AND I.
ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT. IT'S GONNA
BE ROLL CALL. REGULATIONS WHICH
ARE MUCH THAT. IN A- WE GO BACK
TO THE A CONCERNED CALLER FOR
JUST A MOMENT- WE HAVE S. B.
FIVE TEN. IT WAS READ OUT AS
FIVE TWELVE IT NEEDS TO BE. A
RECOGNIZES SB FIVE TEN NOT SB
FIVE TWELVE AND THEN- S. B.
EIGHT EIGHT FOUR WAS WRITTEN A-
READ OUT AS- A SB EIGHT EIGHT
FOUR AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN S.
B. EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN. OKAY SO IS
READ OUT AS S. B. IT EIGHT SEVEN
AND IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN READ OUT
AS S. B. EIGHT EIGHT FOUR. OKAY
SO THAT'S TO CLARIFY THAT YOU
NEED A MOTION. SO THERE'S BEEN A
MOTION BY- MISTER HART SECOND BY

CORRECTED ON UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
SENATOR RUBIO.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE GOOD
MORNING. LET ME KNOW IF YOU'RE
IF YOU'RE READING WERE IN CAMP
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE THANK YOU
FOR JUST ALLOW ME TO PRESENT MY
SB FIVE FORTY FIVE. WHICH IS A
SAVE CHILDREN ACT AND THIS IS A
VERY SIMPLE BILL BUT INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT TO ME SO MANY OF OUR
CHILDREN. AND MOST IMPORTANT FOR
THIS COMMITTEE- ACCORDING TO THE
ANALYSIS THE BILL'S COST AND ITS
STATE ARE UNKNOWN BUT UNLIKELY
TO BE SIGNIFICANT THE THOUGHT
SAVE CHILD ACT WILL STOP CHILD
SEX CRIME VICTIMS FROM BEING
TRIED AS ADULTS. IN COURT WHEN
THEY FIGHT BACK AGAINST THEIR
ABUSERS THE SAVE CHILDREN ACT
RECOGNIZES THESE CHILDREN'S ARE
SURVIVORS AND THEY ALREADY
TRAUMATIZED BY THE EXPERIENCE
AND SO WE WANT THEM TO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY AT AT LIFE AND SO IT
DOES PROVIDE FOR. COUNSELING AND
OTHER SERVICES THAT WILL HELP
THEM HEAL FROM THEIR TRAUMA AND
SO WITH THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR RIFLE THANK YOU. I HAVE
BEEN MOVED AND HEART SECOND.
