FURTHER COMPLICATES NEEDED
DOMESTIC GASOLINE PRODUCTION

OPEN ON THE BILL. GOOD EVENING,
MR SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 1 45 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR NEWMAN. SB 1 45 INCLUDES
TWO PROPOSALS FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S INFRASTRUCTURE
PACKAGE. IN THAT IMPACT THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION OR CALTRANS,
FIRST IS AN ACCELERATED
ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION FOR
CALTRANS. SB 1 45 IMPLEMENTS
SEVERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE
TRANSPORTATION PERMITTING TASK
FORCE REPORT. IN ORDER TO
ACCELERATE ENVIRONMENTAL
MITIGATION FOR TRANSPORTATION
PROJECTS TO ADDRESS
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS MUST
COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE
ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS, HOWEVER, DELAYS IN
PROCURING MITIGATION TOOLS CAN
INCREASE PROJECT COSTS AND DELAY
CONSTRUCTION. AS A RESULT, THESE
DELAYS LEAD TO NEGATIVE ECONOMIC
, ENVIRONMENTAL AND COMMUNITY
IMPACTS, WHILE THE UNDERLYING
TRANSPORTATION ISSUES GO
UNRESOLVED. THIS SPILL
STREAMLINES THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF ENVIRONMENTAL MITIGATION
MEASURES FOR THE EFFICIENT
DELIVERY OF CALTRANS PROJECTS TO
MEET REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND
CONSERVATION GOALS. SECONDLY SB
1 45 AUTHORIZES CALTRANS TO
ENTER INTO AN ENFORCEABLE
CONTRACT WITH BRIGHT LINE WEST
TO CONSTRUCT THREE DEDICATED
WILDLIFE CROSSINGS OVER
INTERSTATE 15 AS PART OF THE
BRIGHT LINE WEST HIGH SPEED RAIL
PROJECT BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND
NEVADA. CALTRANS CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
AND BRIGHT LINE WEST ENTERED
INTO AN AGREEMENT ON JANUARY
11TH 2023 TO BUILD THREE
DEDICATED WILDLIFE OVER
CROSSINGS. THESE DEDICATED OVER
CROSSINGS WILL PROVIDE A
SUSTAINABLE AND SAFE PATH FOR
WILDLIFE OVER THE EXISTING
HIGHWAY LANES AND THE FUTURE
HIGH SPEED RAIL SYSTEM TO BE
BUILT. WITHIN THE MEDIAN OF THE
EXISTING FREEWAY. WHILE CALTRANS
COULD ORDINARILY ENTER INTO
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH
PUBLIC AGENCIES ON
TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS TO
PARTNER ON PROJECT DELIVERY AND
FUNDING, THEY DO NOT HAVE
STATUTORY AUTHORITY TO ENTER
INTO A DIRECT AGREEMENT WITH
BRIGHT LINE WEST TO COMPLETE THE
WILDLIFE CROSSINGS USING THE
STATE'S FUNDS. SB 1 45 WOULD
ALLOW CALTRANS TO DIRECTLY
CONTRACT AND COLLABORATE WITH
BRIGHT LINE WEST TO CONSTRUCT
ENVIRONMENTALLY BENEFICIAL
WILDLIFE CROSSINGS ACROSS
TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE,
WHILE VOTING CONFLICTS BETWEEN
PROJECTS BUILT SIMULTANEOUSLY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN I VOTE.

LIKE MINE THAT HAVE BEEN
HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED IN THE

STRENGTHENING CALIFORNIA'S
COMMITMENT TO A WORKER CENTERED
EQUITABLE ECONOMY BY SETTING UP
A GROUP OF EXPERTS TO MAKE
RECOMMENDATIONS ON INCORPORATING
CORE STANDARDS AND CONTRACTS AND
PROCUREMENT. THIS BILL REQUIRES
THESE RECOMMENDATIONS TO BE
DEVELOPED IN CONSULTATION WITH
SPECIFIED STATE AGENCIES AND
STAKEHOLDERS TO ENSURE EQUITY
AND ACCESS TO THESE HIGH QUALITY
JOBS. SB 1 50 STATES THE INTENT
OF THE LEGISLATURE IS TO DEVELOP
PROCUREMENT MODELS IN ALIGNMENT
WITH INITIATIVES TO ENHANCE THE
STATE'S TRAINING AND ACCESS
PIPELINE. FOR QUALITY JOBS AND
THE APPLICATION OF COMMUNITY
BENEFITS ON INFRASTRUCTURE AND
MANUFACTURING INVESTMENTS. THIS
BILL REQUIRES THE INCLUSION OF
COMMUNITY BENEFITS IN PROJECT
LABOR AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BY
A STATE AGENCY FOR PROJECTS OF
35 MILLION AND ABOVE AND
CONSTRUCTION COSTS. IN ADDITION
, SB 1 50 REQUIRES THE LABOR AND
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AGENCY,
THE GOVERNMENT OPERATIONS AGENCY
AND TRANSPORTATION AGENCY TO
DEVELOP AND PROVIDE CONTRACTUAL
AND PROCUREMENT MODEL
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT MAXIMIZE
BENEFITS TO DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES. UM I'D LIKE TO

BE COSTLY AND INEFFICIENT FOR
LARGE, COMPLEX PROJECTS,
AWARDING A PROJECT PRIOR TO THE
COMPLETION OF ALL DESIGN WORK
CAN POTENTIALLY RESULT IN LOWER
