COUPLE OF HOUSEKEEPING
ANNOUNCEMENTS FIRST TO ENSURE
THAT MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA AND
THE PUBLIC HAVE ACCESS TO OUR

WILL BE STREAMED ON THE

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR

IT LOOKS LIKE WE DO NOT YET HAVE
A QUORUM, BUT WE CAN GO AHEAD
AND BEGIN AS A SUBCOMMITTEE, AS
I SEE THAT OUR AUTHOR IS HERE
AND AGAIN JUST TO SHARE A LITTLE
BIT OF CONTEXT. BEFORE WE BEGIN
WITH SENATOR DODD'S COMMENTS, AS
STATED IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS
, THE BILL THAT WILL BE HEARING
TODAY, SB 74 WAS DOUBLE REFERRED
TO OUR COMMITTEE AND TO THE
ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE ON PRIVACY.
AND CONSUMER PROTECTION, WHICH
IS CHAIRED BY OUR COLLEAGUE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S GABRIEL AS A
RESULT OF THESE TWO COMMITTEES
WORKING TOGETHER ON JOINT
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS YESTERDAY,
THE RULES COMMITTEE ACTED TO
UPDATE THAT REFERRAL TO A SINGLE
REFERRAL JUST FOR THE
ACCOUNTABILITY AND ADMINISTER TO
REVIEW COMMITTEE. THAT'S THIS
BILL WILL NOT BE HEARD BY
PRIVACY COMMITTEE. AND JUST
IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE
AMENDMENTS ARE THE WORK PRODUCT
OF OUR TWO COMMITTEES WORKING
TOGETHER AND AN AGREEMENT, UH,
WITH BOTH COMMITTEE CHAIRS AND
THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AS WELL
AS TO CHAIR GABRIEL OF THE
ASSEMBLY'S PRIVACY AND CONSUMER
PROTECTION COMMITTEE WITH THAT,
SENATOR WHEN YOU'RE READY THANK
YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS WOULD LIKE TO START BY
THANKING THE CHAIR AND THE STAFF
COMMITTEE. AS WELL AS THE
COMMITTEE ON PRIVACY. FOR YOUR
COLLABORATIVE WORK ON THIS BILL.
I'M HAPPY TO ACCEPT THE JOINT
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS, AS
DESCRIBED IN COMMENTS 89 AND 10
OF THE ANALYSIS. I THINK YOU ALL
KNOW BY NOW IT'S B 74 PROHIBITS
THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF HIGH RISK
SOCIAL MEDIA APPLICATIONS ON
STATE OWNED OR CONTROLLED
DEVICES. I'M NOT GOING TO READ
ALL THE PREPARED DOCUMENTATION
BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE FAMILIAR
AND AS CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR AND
SINCE THE COMMITTEE IS NOT HERE
TO HEAR EVERYTHING. THIS IS ALL
JUST KIND OF SUMMARIZE IT. THIS
BILL REQUIRES CALIFORNIA STATE
AGENCIES TO PROHIBIT THE USE OF
SOCIAL MEDIA APP ON THEIR STATE
DEVICES IF THAT APP IS OWNED OR
CONTROLLED BY THE ENTITY OR A
COUNTRY CONCERN COUNTRIES ARE
CONCERNED ARE DEFINED TO MEAN
ANY COUNTRY IDENTIFIED. BY THE
FEDERAL INTERNATIONAL TRAFFIC IN
ARMS REGULATIONS, WHICH
INCLUDES, AMONG OTHERS CHINA,
IRAN, NORTH KOREA AND RUSSIA. AT
SB 74, IS SIMILAR TO ACTIONS
ALREADY TAKEN TO PROTECT
GOVERNMENT DATA AND MAJORITY OF
THE STATES AND THE FEDERAL LEVEL
AS WELL AS THE ARMED FORCES. THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS BRING THE
BILL INTO FURTHER ALIGNMENT WITH
THOSE ACTIONS. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE. THANK YOU,
SENATOR. UM ARE THERE ANY
PRIMARY WITNESSES IN SUPPORT? I
DO NOT BELIEVE SO. NO. IS THERE
ANYONE IN THE ROOM WISHING TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT? SEEN AND
HEARING NONE. ANYONE IN THE ROOM
WISHING TO TESTIFY IN
OPPOSITION. SEEN AND HEARING
NONE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE. I WILL SIMPLY, UH
, JUST MAKE MAKE A COUPLE OF
COMMENTS BEFORE WE TURN IT BACK
TO THE SENATOR. SO FIRST,
CERTAINLY, UH, APPRECIATE YOUR
YOUR BILL AND SUPPORT THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA, TAKING ALL
APPROPRIATE STEPS TO PROTECT THE
SECURITY OF OUR STATE'S
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND
SENSITIVE DATA OF BOTH THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA AND IMPORTANTLY, R
CALIFORNIA CITIZENS. WE MUST
HAVE CLARITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
IN OUR STATE POLICIES AND
PROCEDURES TO PROTECT AGAINST
RISKS FROM THE USE OF SOCIAL
MEDIA PLATFORMS AND AS THE
COMMITTEE ON ACCOUNTABILITY AND
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW WE REVIEW
LEGISLATION TO FIRST ENSURE
CLARITY IN WHAT ABILITIES
REQUIRING A STATE AGENCY TO DO
AND SECOND TO ENSURE THAT THE
BILL PROVIDES A MEANS TO HOLD
THE AGENCY ACCOUNTABLE FOR DOING
SO, AND IT WAS THAT LENS THROUGH
WHICH WE ENGAGED WITH THE OTHERS

AMENDMENTS. SO APPRECIATE YOUR
