FEW SMALL APPROPRIATIONS IN THE

MILLION OF NEW FUNDING 12.2
MILLION FOR CAL FIRE BECAUSE WE
MOVED THIS FROM A BOND INTO
GENERAL FUND. 3.7 GENERAL FUND

PRODUCTION BOARD AND 1.5 MILLION
FOR DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO
CONTINUE HOLOCAUST EDUCATION,
CURRICULUM AND TRAINING ALSO
ABOUT 1.5 MILLION TO FUND

37.8 BILLION RESPECT FOR US FOR
I VOTE ON SP 104. SOMEBODY
REMEMBER FOLLOWING YOU
RECOGNIZED? THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO SB 104.
CALIFORNIANS ARE FRUSTRATED WITH
RISING COSTS AND SAFE STORES AND
NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE NEVER
ENDING QUEST TO RAISE TAXES FROM
SACRAMENTO. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
WITH SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AND
ANXIETY CALIFORNIANS ARE FACING
THEY ARE RIGHTFULLY UPSET.
FACING A $32 BILLION DEFICIT,
UNSUSTAINABLE SPENDING AND
ECONOMIC HEADWINDS. YOU WOULD
THINK THAT SECONDMENT, I WOULD
PUT TOGETHER A BUDGET THAT
ACTUALLY SPENDS LESS THAN
PREVIOUS YEARS AND SAID THIS
BUDGET HAS INCREASED SPENDING AT
EVERY TURN AND THIS BUDGET BILL
AS NEARLY ANOTHER $20 MILLION IN
THE FIRST MONTH OF THE NEW
FISCAL YEAR. CASH RECEIPTS FOR
THE STATE. WE'RE SHORT
PROJECTIONS BY OVER $1 BILLION
STRUCTURAL DEFICITS YEAR AFTER
YEAR ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
BY THEIR OWN PROJECTIONS, AND
UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T SEE ANY
RELIEF INSIDE UNLESS WE CHANGE
COURSE AND REEVALUATE OUR
PRIORITIES. THIS BILL, AS WITH
BUDGET BILLS PASSED BEFORE IS
NOT SUSTAINABLE. IT IS NOT
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE. I URGENT A
VOTE. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FONG. SEEING NO
OTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S TEAM. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BANTA.
YOU WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I DO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 101 AND
ONE OF FOUR AND A B, ONE OF
FOUR. HOWEVER I DO NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE ARE CLEAR THAT
THERE IS A MEASURE IN HERE A
PROVISION THAT RELATES TO
CONTINUING THE ACCESSIBILITY OF
BROADBAND FOR LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. IT IS A PART OF
WHAT IS HAPPENING. IT'S A SLIGHT
PART OF THIS BILL. THIS BILL IS
A VERY IMPORTANT BUT IT DOES.
PUT INTO PLACE AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR US TO NOT DO THE RIGHT THING
WHEN IT COMES TO MIDDLE MILE
INFRASTRUCTURE FOR LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. I JUST WANTED US TO
TAKE NOTE OF THAT AND NOTE THAT
WE ABSOLUTELY MUST ADDRESS THIS
SOMEHOW. IMMEDIATELY. WE'VE HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE, UH THE
DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY. YES
PUC AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
COME TO AGREEMENT AND THEN
ACTING WITH TRANSPARENCY AND THE
KIND OF FIDELITY THAT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY INDIVIDUAL
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA HAS
THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THEY
NEED FOR MIDDLE MILE COVERAGE.
WITH THAT I DO RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST RESPECTFULLY. REQUESTER
I VOTE, BUT I DO NOTE THAT WE
HAVE A PROBLEM HERE. THANK YOU.

IMMEDIATELY, VERY RELATED TO THE

YOU WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. SB 1 35 IS OUR
PUBLIC SAFETY TRAILER BILL ONE.
THIS PROVIDES DOJ THE AUTHORITY
TO PROVIDE SUBSEQUENT FEDERAL
BACKGROUND INFORMATION TO
AUTHORIZED ENTRIES, INCLUDING
YOUTH SERVING ORGANIZATIONS. IT

REGULATORY AUTHORITY TO ADJUST

FOLLOWING YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I
RISE IN OPPOSITION TO SB 1 35
JUST A YEAR AFTER RELEASING
CONFIDENTIAL AND PERSONAL
INFORMATION OF NEARLY 200,000
CALIFORNIANS. THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL NOW WANTS UNILATERAL
AUTHORITY TO INCREASE FEES ON
LAW ABIDING CALIFORNIANS,
INCLUDING THOSE SAME INDIVIDUALS
WHOSE SAFETY AND PRIVACY WERE
PUT AT RISK. THIS DELEGATION OF
AUTHORITY GOES FAR BEYOND WHAT
VOTERS CONTEMPLATED WHEN THIS
FEE WAS CREATED IN 2016, AND NOW
THE RIGHTS ARE THREATENED BY AN
AGENCY THAT HAS ANYTHING BUT
THEIR BEST INTERESTS IN MIND.
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL
ONLY CONTINUE TO GROW TO CRACK
DOWN ON LAW ABIDING GUN OWNERS,
WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE, MEANING
THIS FEE WILL RISE EXPONENTIALLY
WITH NO GUARDRAILS. URGENT A
VOTE. SAYING OF FURTHER DEBATE

HEALTHCARE SERVICES TO INCREASE
LICENSING FEES ON SUBSTANCE
ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAMS BY UP

MORATORIUM ON NEW HOSPICE
PROVIDERS BY ONE YEAR. HE
CLARIFIES THAT THE STATE'S
DEVELOPMENT OF NALOXONE PRODUCTS
MAY INCLUDE OVER THE COUNTER
PRODUCTS, WHICH WERE AUTHORIZED
BY A $30,030 MILLION
APPROPRIATION IN THE JUNE BUDGET
BILL ALSO INCLUDES TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS TO POLICY BILLS THAT
HAVE BEEN AGREED TO BY TWO
AUTHORS. FINALLY THE BILL

SUBSTANCE ABUSE PREVENTION AND
TREATMENT BLOCK. GRANT RESPECT
FOR US FOR I VOTE ON SB 1 37.
SUDDEN REMEMBER FINDING YOU
RECOGNIZED? THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
SB 1 37. THE STATE HAS PLENTY OF
TOOLS AT HIS DISPOSAL TO REDUCE
THE COST OF LIFE SAVING MEDICINE
. BUT INSTEAD, IT WILL NOW BE IN
THE BUSINESS OF SELLING AND
MANUFACTURING DRUGS. THE ROLE OF
GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE TO
PARTICIPATE IN PRIVATE SECTOR
DRUG MANUFACTURING, WHICH WILL
ADD TIME AND COST TO DELIVERY OF
MEDICATION, BUT INSTEAD SHOULD
ENCOURAGE AND INCENTIVIZE THE
PRIVATE MARKET. IT IS ALSO
FRUSTRATING TO SEE THAT THIS
BILL INCREASES LICENSING FEES ON
SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT
PROGRAMS BY 75% MEMBERS. 75%
THIS IS A MASSIVE INCREASE THAT
GETS IN THE WAY OF DELIVERING
CRITICAL RECOVERY SERVICES.

DEVELOPMENTAL SERVICES TO CREATE
A RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM FOR
ADOLESCENTS AND ADULTS WITH
COMPLEX NEEDS. IT INCLUDES
IMPORTANT GUARDRAILS IN THE
CLEAR PROHIBITION ON THE USE OF
NON EMERGENCY RESTRAINTS OR

ADDITIONAL STATUTORY PROTECTIONS
REGARDING ADMITTANCE INTO AND
EXITS FROM THE STABILIZATION,
TRAINING AND ASSISTANCE,
REINTEGRATION HOMES AND ALSO
PROHIBITS NON EMERGENCY
RESTRAINTS AND SECLUSION IN
THESE HOMES. FINALLY, THE BILL
TAKES A POWERFUL STEP TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE ARE ADDRESSING
RACIAL, ETHNIC AND GEOGRAPHIC
DISPARITIES. ONE WAY WE'RE DOING
THAT IS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE
COLLECTING DATA AS WELL AS
MAKING SURE WE'RE TRACKING THE
CRITICAL CRITICAL OUTCOMES TO
ENSURE THAT WE ARE BETTER
SERVING. THESE COMMUNITIES WERE
ALSO WORKING TO IMPROVE THIS
SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE
THAT EVERYBODY HAS ACCESS. THERE

MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS TODAY
I RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 1 38

STANDARDIZE THE SERVICES WE HAVE
AT OUR REGIONAL CENTERS HERE IN
CALIFORNIA TO IMPROVE ACCESS AND
EQUITY. BUT BEFORE I SPEAK
FURTHER, I'M GOING TO TAKE A
MOMENT OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE AND
SPEAK ABOUT NICOLE VASQUEZ.
NICOLE IS OUR CONSULTANT ON
ASSEMBLY BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE
NUMBER ONE AND THOSE OF YOU WHO
DON'T KNOW HER SHOULD KNOW THAT
SHE'S A FIERCE ADVOCATE WHO
STANDS UP FOR OUR COMMUNITIES
WHO NEED TO HAVE A VOICE. I AM
GRATEFUL THAT FOR THE LAST SEVEN
YEARS SHE HAS ENSURED THAT I
HAVE HEARD THE VOICE OF OUR
COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE DEMANDED
THAT WE HAVE EQUITY WITHIN OUR
SYSTEMS FOR TOO LONG, OUR LATINO
COMMUNITIES WHO ARE THE LARGEST
SEGMENT SERVED BY OUR REGIONAL
CENTERS HAVE RECEIVED 2.5 TIMES
LESS DOLLARS. THEN OUR WHITE
CLIENTS WITH THE SAME
DISABILITY. AND FOR TOO LONG. WE
HAVE NOT HEARD THIS VOICE. BUT
I'VE HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR
BECAUSE OF NICOLE. AND SO I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE RECOGNIZED
THE PUBLIC SERVANTS IN OUR
COMMUNITY WHO ARE WORKING HARD
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE SOLVING
COMMUNITY'S NEEDS. BUT I'LL ALSO
UPLIFT OF FAILURE. AND WHO?
LEON? A MOTHER IN MY COMMUNITY
WHO MEETS ME AT EVERY EVENT.
WHETHER IT'S A FOOD DISTRIBUTION
OF VACCINE EVENT, A BROADBAND
EVENT SHE BRINGS WHO LEON AND
SHE REMINDS ME OF THE DIFFICULTY
OF ACCESSING SERVICES FOR THOSE
WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. WHO
MIGHT HAVE FEARS BECAUSE OF
THEIR DOCUMENTATION STATUS, AND
I'M HERE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO
THE BASICS OF STANDARDIZING
SERVICES WE HAVE AT OUR REGIONAL
CENTERS. FOR WE HAVE 21 OF THEM
ACROSS OUR STATE. AND THE LEAST
THAT WE CAN DO IS MAKE SURE THAT
THEY HAVE THE SAME INTAKE
PROCESSES. THAT THEY HAVE THE
SAME RESPITE SERVICES AND THAT
WE'RE PROVIDING THE SAME
RESOURCES TO OUR COMMUNITIES WHO
HAVE NEEDS. AND SO I'M HERE TO
URGE YOUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR SB
1 38 AND WANT TO THANK,
PARTICULARLY THE WOMEN OF COLOR
WHO HAVE BEEN STANDING UP FOR
OUR COMMUNITIES FOR A LONG TIME.
I THANK YOU AND RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU.

AGREEMENT THAT WAS AGREED TO
EARLIER IN JUNE WITH CHILDCARE
PROVIDERS UNITED, WHICH I'LL

YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. SP 142 IS OUR
HIGHER EDUCATION TRAILER BILL
YOU MIGHT RECALL IN THE JUNE
BUDGET. WE SHIFTED A NUMBER OF
RESOURCES AROUND HIGHER
EDUCATION, HOUSING FROM GENERAL
FUND INTO BONDS. WHILE THIS WAS
EASY FOR US, èC NCSU TO DO OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES REALLY
STRUGGLED TO FIGURE OUT HOW BEST
TO DO IT. WE HAVE REACHED
AGREEMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES TO DO A STATEWIDE LEAST
REVENUE BOND BY NEXT YEAR, WHICH
WILL BACKFILL ALL THE FUNDING
THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE BACK
AROUND STUDENT HOUSING FOR OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES? I BELIEVE
THIS SATISFIES OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PARTNERS AND REALLY WILL
PROVIDE VERY, VERY CRITICAL
STUDENT HOUSING UP AND DOWN THE
STATE. THE BILL ALSO CREATES A
PILOT PROGRAM TO ALLOW LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES TO WORK WITH
OUR SCHOLARSHIP BOARD. TO
IMPROVE OUTREACH ON OUR CAL KIDS
COLLEGE SAVINGS PROGRAM THAT
SHOULD HELP. HOPEFULLY MANY,
MANY MORE CALIFORNIANS SAVE FOR
COLLEGE WITHOUT RESPECT FOR US
FOR I VOTE ON SB 142.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S PHªN. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO SB 142 REMEMBERS.
EVERYONE SHOULD LOOK VERY
CLOSELY. AT THE ATTEMPTED
FINANCING OF THIS BILL.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WERE GIVEN
CERTAINTY. THAT THEY COULD USE
FUNDS ALLOCATED AND PASSED
BUDGETS TO BUILD STUDENT
HOUSING. A FEAT THAT IS CRITICAL
TO SUPPORT STUDENTS, HOWEVER,
PLAYING A SHELL GAME WITH THE
FUNDING, GIVING NO REAL
CERTAINTY TO COLLEGES AND
PUTTING THE STATE INTO MORE DEBT
WITH BONDS IS NOT SUPPORTABLE.
THE STATE IS CREATING
UNNECESSARY FEAR, ANXIETY AND
UNCERTAINTY FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND THEIR STUDENTS.
URGENT A VOTE. SEE NO FURTHER
DEBATE OR DISCUSSION. THE CLERK
WILL EXCUSE ME. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
JOE PATTERSON. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE WITH A SERIOUS
CONCERNS OF THIS MEASURE. SIERRA
COLLEGE, WHICH IS IN MY DISTRICT
WAS AWARDED $80 MILLION TO BUILD
AFFORDABLE STUDENT HOUSING. SO
THE SO STUDENTS WHO SOME WHO ARE
LIVING IN THEIR CARS COULD LIVE
ON CAMPUS. UH THEY'VE ACTUALLY
HAVE THE $80 MILLION IN THE BANK
SPENT $7 MILLION. THEY'VE
DEMOLISHED THE BUILDING HAVE A
HOLE IN THE GROUND. AND RIGHT
NOW, WE, UH YOU KNOW, THIS PUTS
REALLY THEIR PROJECT INFLUX AND
I UNDERSTAND THERE'S INTENT
LANGUAGE TO SOLVE THIS IN THE
FUTURE. UM I DON'T THINK IT'S
RIGHT. UH REALLY, FOR THE
CHANGES LIKE THIS TO NOT ONLY
IMPACT MAJOR, UH, COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IN MY DISTRICT, BUT
REALLY, THE STUDENTS WHO WOULD
BENEFIT FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING
RIGHT ON CAMPUS, AND SO IF THIS
IS GOING TO PASS, I REALLY URGE
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THIS
LEGISLATURE TO COME TOGETHER AND
MAKE SURE THAT THAT BOND FUNDING
OCCURS SO THE STUDENTS HAVE A
PLACE TO LIVE. TENS OF THOUSANDS
OF STUDENTS, BY THE WAY, SO WITH
THAT I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS MY
CONCERNS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SOME OF THE MEMBER OF PATERSON.
SAYING ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S TING,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
ABSOLUTELY I APPRECIATE, UH, YOU
KNOW, OUR COLLEAGUES FROM
BAKERSFIELD IN ROCKLAND, RAISING
THIS VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. WE
ALSO HAVE. WE ALSO SHARE THEIR
CONCERNS, WHICH IS WHY WE'VE
BEEN WORKING EXTRAORDINARILY
HARD WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
TO ENSURE THAT THEY WILL BE HELD
HARMLESS. THEY'RE GOING TO GET
ALL THAT FUNDING. THEY'RE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THE VERY,
VERY CRITICAL HOUSING. WE DON'T
WANT THEM TO STOP OR DELAY THE
CONSTRUCTION OF ANY OF THAT
HOUSING. UH SO AGAIN, WHAT WE
WANT TO DO IS BE ABLE TO SPREAD
OUT THIS MONEY OVER A NUMBER OF
YEARS. WE THINK THIS WILL ALLOW
US TO BUILD EVEN MORE HOUSING.
BUT WE ABSOLUTELY AGREE AND
SHARE THE CONCERNS. THAT'S WHY
WE'RE WORKING. WE WORKED WITH
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES. I
BELIEVE THEY'RE VERY SATISFIED
WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND THIS
SHOULD NOT DELAY THE
CONSTRUCTION OF ANY OF THAT
STUDENT. VERY, VERY CRITICAL.
STUDENT HOUSING. SO WITH THAT
RESPECT FOR S FIVE THANK YOU.

IMMEDIATELY WERE RELATED TO THE

YOU WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER SP 1 43 IS OUR
GENERAL GOVERNMENT TRAILER BILL
. THE BILL IMPLEMENTS A NEW
FEDERAL LAW ENABLING THE
PORTABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL
LICENSES FOR SERVICE MEMBERS AND
THEIR SPOUSES STATIONED IN
CALIFORNIA. IT ALSO EXTENDS THE
SUNSET DATE FOR LABOR PROVISIONS
APPLICABLE TO SHEEP, HERDERS AND
GOAT HERDERS. UNTIL JULY. 1ST
2026. IT ALSO PROVIDES
ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO VICTIMS
OF FORCED STERILIZATION. RESPECT
FOR US FOR I VOTE ON SB 143.
SOME REMEMBER FOLLOWING YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SB 1 43. I HAVE
TALKED ABOUT GOAT AND SHEEP
HERDERS MORE IN THE PAST COUPLE
OF WEEKS AND I WOULD CARE TO
ADMIT, BUT THIS BILL TEMPORARILY
PUTS TO REST A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE
FOR THE GOAT HERDING INDUSTRY.
GOAT HERDERS PROVIDE VEGETATION
CONTROL AND WILDFIRE PREVENTION
AND WITHOUT THEIR HELP, THE
STATE WOULD BE WORSE OFF. WHILE
THIS BILL IS MOSTLY SUPPORTABLE
, THERE IS ONE PROVISION THAT IS
TROUBLING. I WOULD OFFER A WORD
OF WARNING ABOUT PROVISIONS THAT
COMPROMISE TRANSPARENCY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE OPERATIONS OF THE
STATE. REPEATEDLY SUSPENDING
PROVISIONS OF THE BAGLEY KEENE
ACT SO STATE BOARDS AND AGENCIES
CAN CAN MEET, REMOTELY AND LIMIT
IN PERSON MEETINGS IS VERY
TROUBLING, WHILE THIS BODY
SPEAKS OF TRANSPARENCY, ACTIONS
DO NOT LIVE UP TO REALITY. STATE
BOARDS MAKE CONSEQUENTIAL
DECISIONS ON ALL OF OUR LIVES
AND REMOVING THE CONNECTIONS TO
THE PUBLIC ONLY ERODES PUBLIC
TRUST. AND OF COURSE, WHEN IT
COMES TO THE LACK OF BUDGET,
TRANSPARENCY AND THE VERY FACT
THAT THESE ACTIONS ARE HAPPENING
IN A BEHIND THE SCENES PROCESS
WITH LITTLE PUBLIC INPUT. THIS
CONCERNING TREND NEEDS TO STOP.
BY RELUCTANTLY URGED AND I VOTE.
THANK YOU, SON. REMEMBER FANG

IS THIS THING ON, OKAY? THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS
SINCE I ARRIVED TO THE SUGGEST
LEGISLATIVE BODY IN 2018, I TOOK
ON THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
FORCED STERILIZATION AND
EUGENICS ISSUES FROM THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA. AND I JUST WANT
TO THANK THIS BODY FOR FINALLY
MAKING IT A REALITY THAT WE ARE
FINDING AND COMPENSATING MEN AND
WOMEN INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE WHO
WERE INCARCERATED. WHO WERE
FORCIBLY OR UNKNOWINGLY
STERILIZED OR STERILIZED AT
STATE INSTITUTIONS, BUT A VERY
SPECIAL THANK YOU AND
RECOGNITION TO THE LATE 19
SIXTIES EARLY 19 SEVENTIES
VICTIMS OF UNKNOWN STERILIZATION
AT L. A COUNTY HOSPITAL, WHICH
WE ARE INCLUDING IN A STUDY AS
WELL AS POTENTIAL, UH,
COMPENSATION. THESE WOMEN WENT
TO THE HOSPITAL. THE HOSPITAL
WAS FOLLOWING EUGENICS LOST BY
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. GAVE
BIRTH AND WERE UNKNOWINGLY
STERILIZED AND WERE NEVER ABLE
TO HAVE CHILDREN AGAIN. WE ARE
FIXING THAT WRONG CORRECTING
THAT INJUSTICE. I WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LACKEY, WHO WAS
WITH ME AT THE VERY BEGINNING
WHEN THIS POLICY CONTINUE TO
FAIL AND FAIL OVER AND OVER AND
WE FINALLY GOT IT DONE. THIS IS
WHAT JUSTICE FOR THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA LOOKS LIKE. AND FOR
THE WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN SILENCED
AND IGNORED ANY RACE FOR SO LONG
, WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO BE
ABLE TO RECOGNIZE HIM. AND FOR
THAT, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK
YOU. SAYING NO FURTHER. EXCUSE
ME. SO. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
GALLAGHER, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAME. SPEAKER
MEMBERS JUST JUST BRIEFLY. I
MEAN, I KNOW WE KIND OF LAUGH
ABOUT THE GOAT HERDER ISSUE, BUT
IT REALLY IS A VERY SERIOUS
ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA AND THAT AND
THEY'RE RIGHT. IT'S SOMETHING WE
REALLY NEED TO FIX BECAUSE
BECAUSE OF HOW LEGISLATION IS
BEING INTERPRETED, WE'RE T WE'RE
TREATING. GOAT HERDERS. AND
SHEEP HERDERS DIFFERENTLY IN
CALIFORNIA FOR LABOR LAW, UH AND
WAGE AN HOUR LAW PURPOSES. IT
MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE. BUT
ALSO GOAT. GOATS ARE VERY
IMPORTANT PART OF WILDFIRE
PREVENTION AS WELL. AND THEY
HELP KEEP VEGETATION DOWN TO
HELP ENSURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE
THESE, UM TINDER BOXES THAT ARE
JUST WAITING FOR A MATCH TO GO
OFF, SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT TO
OUR WILDFIRE PREVENTION EFFORTS
. ALSO IF YOU CARE ABOUT
FLOODING AND LEVEES AND MAKING
SURE THAT THOSE LEVEES ARE CLEAR
OF VEGETATION GOATS ARE ACTUALLY
USED TO KEEP THOSE LEVEES CLEAR
AND HELP KEEP YOU SAFE FROM
FLOODS. SO THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT IS ACTUALLY REALLY
IMPORTANT. THIS IS A TEMPORARY
FIX IS KIND OF A CONTINUING THE
UH, TEMPORARY FIX WE HAVE. WE
NEED TO MAKE A PERMANENT FIX,
AND I HOPE THAT WILL DO THAT.
AND NEXT YEAR WHEN WE COME BACK
AND RECONVENE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU, SAM. REMEMBER GALLAGHER

HER WORK ON COMPENSATING THE

I WERE BORN AT L. A COUNTY USC
HOSPITAL IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES
, UM, WHEN MEXICAN IMMIGRANT
WOMEN WERE BEING STERILIZED
WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE, YOU
KNOW, I STILL DON'T KNOW. IF MY
MOM WAS ONE OF THE VICTIMS,
SHE'S 80 YEARS OLD. I THINK IT
WOULD BE TRAUMATIZING, UH, TO
FIND OUT IF SHE WAS ONE OF THEM
. BUT YOU KNOW A LOT OF THESE
ISSUES. WE THINK THIS HAPPENED,
YOU KNOW, IN THE 18 HUNDREDS OR
A LONG TIME AGO, BUT IT HAPPENED
IN OUR LIFETIME. SO I WANT TO
THANK EVERYONE HERE THAT IS
SUPPORTING THE SPELL AND OF
COURSE, THE MEMBER FROM LOS
ANGELES. I REMEMBER WHEN I FIRST
ENTERED THE LEGISLATURE, SHE WAS
ALREADY WORKING ON THIS ISSUE.
UM, AND SHE DID NOT STOP. SO ON
BEHALF OF THE WOMEN, THE
CHILDREN THAT WERE BORN AT ONE
OF THOSE HOSPITALS. UM,
FORTUNATELY, MY MOM WAS NOT
STERILIZED BEFORE I WAS BORN.

SPEAKER. I HAD THIS BUILDING
ELECTIONS COMMITTEE. I JUST RISE
TO RAISE ONE CONCERN WITH IT. I
AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR'S INTENT
THAT THERE SHOULD BE SYSTEMS IN
PLACE FOR ELECTIONS. MY CONCERN
WITH THE BILL, IS IT IF
EFFECTIVELY OUTLAWS HAND COUNTS
IN ALL COUNTIES EXCEPT ONE IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA? IT SAYS
THAT YOU CAN HAVE A HAND COUNT
WITH THE APPROVAL OF A PLAN WITH
THE SECRETARY OF STATE UNLESS
YOU HAVE MORE THAN 1000
REGISTERED VOTERS, SO IT'S AN
EFFECTIVE BAN ON HAND COUNTS,
AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WE
SHOULD INTERFERE IN HOW A COUNTY
DECIDES HOW THEY WANT TO COUNT
THEIR ELECTIONS. SO WITH THAT,
UM I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
. SEE NO FURTHER DISCUSSION AND
DEBATE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S YOU LIKE

TO STRESS THAT THIS BILL ENSURES

BIO NUMBER 17 A B 957. CLERK
WILL READ SIMPLY BRO 9 57 BY
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WILSON AND
OTHERS AN ACCOLADE AND FAMILY
LEAVE FAMILY LAW.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WILSON, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. GOOD MORNING MEMBERS.
I'M HERE TO PRESENT A B 957 A
BILL THAT WOULD CLARIFY THAT
WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY CODE
SECTION 3011 SPECIFICALLY WHEN
IT COMES TO DISPUTES OVER
CUSTODY THAT THE DEFINITION OF
HEALTH SAFETY WELFARE OF THE
CHILD INCLUDES, AMONGST OTHER
THINGS, COMPREHENSIVE FACTORS,
PARENTS AFFIRMATION OF THE
CHILD'S GENDER IDENTITY.
IT'S OKAY. MEMBERS CURRENTLY
WHEN PARENTS DO NOT AGREE. ON
AFFIRMING A T G I TRANSGENDER,
GENDER, DIVERSE INTERSEX CHILD
GENDER IDENTITY, THE FAMILY
CALLED FAILS TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE
ON HOW A JUDGE SHOULD DETERMINE
THE BEST ENTRANCE OF THE T D I T
G I CHAT A B 957 WAS ORIGINALLY
INTRODUCED TO AMEND BOTH FAMILY
CODE 3011 AND THE CODE OF CIVIL
PROCEDURE. BUT AFTER WORKING
WITH JUDICIARY COMMITTEES AND
JUDICIAL COUNCIL, IT WAS
NARRATIVES SCOPE TO ONLY AMEND
FAMILY CODE 3011. THE RECENT
AMENDMENTS MAKE CLARIFICATIONS
AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A JUDGE
DISCRETION WHEN CONDUCTING THE
BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD
ANALYSIS, GIVEN THAT AFFIRMATION
CAN OCCUR IN MANY DIFFERENT WAYS
. THE LANGUAGE ALSO PREVENTS THE
CREATION OF A CHECKLIST THAT
MUST BE MET IN ORDER TO
DEMONSTRATE AFFIRMATION. I ALSO
WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DRESS SOMETHING STATED ABOUT THE
BILL. I HAVE HEARD FROM SOME
FOLKS THAT ARE BILL DOES NOT
DEFINE WHAT AFFIRMATION MEANS.
IN THE SUBSTANTIVE AMENDMENTS
ADOPTED IN JULY. WE INCLUDED
LANGUAGE. THAT AFFIRMATION
INCLUDES A RANGE OF ACTIONS AND
WILL BE UNIQUE FOR EACH CHILD.
BUT IN EVERY CASE MUST PROVOKE
THE CHILD'S OVERALL HEALTH AND
WELL BEING. ADDITIONALLY OUR
BILL IS NOT REFERENCING THE
CRIMINAL CODE AND WOULD NOT, AND
ANYWAY BE USED AS A SORT OF
MEANS OF DEEMING OR CHARGING A
PARENT AS ABUSIVE. IT SHOULD BE
STATED THAT THIS CODE SECTION IS
NOT SOLELY RELATED TO ABUSIVE
BEHAVIOR. AS IN THE SAME CODE
SECTION. THE JUDGE MUST ALSO
CONSIDER THE NATURE AND AMOUNT
OF CONTACT WITH BOTH PARENTS,
WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH
ABUSE. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE
HEARD THAT THIS WILL BE A
PATHWAY TO ALLOW THE STATE TO
GAIN CUSTODY OF CHILDREN. IF
PARENT IS NOT AFFIRMING. THIS IS
ABSOLUTELY NOT. THE CASE. ARBIL
SPECIFICALLY IS REGARDING
CUSTODY DISPUTES DURING A
DIVORCE PROCEEDING WHEN TWO
PARENTS ARE IN DISAGREEMENT. THE
STATE DOES NOT TAKE CUSTODY OF
CHILDREN DURING THESE
PROCEEDINGS. LET ME REPEAT, THE
STATE DOES NOT TAKE CUSTODY OF
CHILDREN DURING THESE TYPES OF
PROCEEDINGS. WE ALSO WANT TO
CLARIFY THAT OUR BILL IS NOT
REFERENCING, GENDER AFFIRMING
CARE HEALTHCARE, WHICH IS US
COMPLETELY SEPARATE PROCESS
BETWEEN ONE'S DOCTOR AND A
CHILD'S PARENTS, AND NOT
SOMETHING THAT WE ARE ASKING A
JUDGE TO CONSIDER CUSTODY UPON.
GENDER AFFIRMATION LOOKS
DIFFERENT FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL.
BUT THE PRIMARY MODALITY OF
GENDER AFFIRMATION IS FAMILY
ACCEPTANCE AND SO SUPPORT. WE
ARE A PART OF THAT SOCIAL
SUPPORT. OTHERS HAVE EXPRESSED
CONCERNS THAT FOLKS WHO ARE
TOLERANT OF THEIR CHILD'S GENDER
IDENTITY WILL BE INCORRECTLY
LABELED AS NOT AFFIRMING THEIR
CHILD'S GENDER IDENTITY.
AFFIRMATION IS NOT BUYING MARY
JUST LIKE THE HEALTH, SAFETY AND
WELFARE. A CHILD IS NOT BINARY.
FAMILY COURTS AND JUDGES ARE
LOOKING AT THE WHOLE PICTURE. IF
BOTH PARENTS ARE ACCEPTING OF
THEIR CHILD'S GENDER IDENTITY,
THIS ISSUE WILL NOT BE THE THING
THAT TIPS THE SCALE TOWARDS ANY
PARENT. IT SHOULD ALSO BE
EMPHASIZED THAT THIS LANGUAGE
DOES NOT. PUT A THUMB ON THE
SCALE. IN FAVOR OF ONE PARENT
AND THAT THIS SECTION IS NOT
PRIORITIZED OVER ANYTHING ELSE
AND 3011. IT MERELY ASKED THE
JUDGE TO CONSIDER THIS AS ONE
FACTOR. THE INTENT BEHIND OUR
AMENDMENT IS SPECIFICALLY TO
ALLOW NUANCE FOR THE JUDGE TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE UNIQUE SITUATION
BEFORE THEM, AND THE LARGER
ISSUE SURROUNDS PARENTS WHO ARE
ANTAGONISTIC TO THEIR CHILD'S
GENDER IDENTITY BEING
ANTAGONISTIC TO A CHILD'S GENDER
IDENTITY DRAMATICALLY IMPACTS A
CHILD'S MENTAL WELL BEING.
CONVERSELY A T G I CHILDREN THAT
EXPERIENCED FAMILY FAMILIAR
ACCEPTANCE, SUICIDE ATTEMPTS ARE
REDUCED BY HALF. T G I YOUTH ARE
ALREADY AT A HIGHER RISK OF
DEPRESSION, MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
, SELF HARM AND SUICIDE THAN
THEIR CIS PEERS. RESEARCH
DEMONSTRATES THAT FAMILY
ACCEPTANCE OF LGBT Q PLUS YOUTH
IS A CRUCIAL PROTECTIVE FACTOR
AND COMBATING DEPRESSION AND
SUBSTANCE ABUSE. A B 957 WOULD
CENTER THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF
GI YOUTH BY ACKNOWLEDGING THAT
AFFIRMING THEIR GENDER IDENTITY
IS IN THEIR BEST INTERESTS WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE ON A B 957.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ELLIE. YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED
THIS LEGISLATION. AND I
RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE THAT THIS
IS NOT PUT A THUMB ON THE SCALE.
JUDGES ARE READY TASKED WITH
DECIDING WHAT'S IN THE BEST
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF
HIS CHILD. THAT IS SUBSECTION
ONE A OF 3011. THERE IS NO NEED
FOR US TO DELINEATE EVERY SINGLE
FACTOR IN CATEGORY. WHAT THIS
BILL DOES IS IT ADDS A
SUBSECTION HERE, WHICH DEFINES
WHAT'S IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE CHILD. AND IT SAYS THAT
PARENTS AFFIRMATION THE CHILD IS
IN THEIR BEST HEALTH, SAFETY AND
WELFARE, AND THAT DOES PUT THE
THUMB ON THE SCALE LOOK UH, THIS
TRANS CONVERSATION IS VERY
COMPLICATED AND DELICATE, AND I
DO THINK THERE ARE PARENTS WHO
MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS
ON A PARTICULAR CHILD,
ESPECIALLY YOUNG CHILDREN WHO I
WOULD ARGUE, DON'T KNOW REALLY
WHO THEY ARE UNTIL THEY MATURE
AND ARE MUCH OLDER, AND I THINK
PARENTS HAVE TO BE GIVEN THE
SPACE. UM TO GO ON THAT JOURNEY
WITH THEIR CHILD. AND SO IF
THERE IS A DISPUTE, THE COURT
SHOULD NOT CHOOSE SIDES AND
AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME THAT PARENT
WHO WANTS TO AFFIRM HIS ACTING
IN THE CHILD'S BEST INTERESTS.
WE SHOULD LET THE JUDGE MAKE AN
INDIVIDUALIZED DETERMINATION IN
THAT CASE, AND FOR THAT REASON,
I RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED THE BILL.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. SIMILAR
MEMBER. SOMEBODY REMEMBER JOE
PATTERSON YOU RECOGNIZED? THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS MEASURE. UM
THERE ARE A LOT OF BILLS THAT
COME THROUGH THIS BODY THAT I
HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST, AND SOME OF
THEM ARE HARDER TO EXPRESS AN
OPINION ON BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT
THE AUTHOR IS VERY PERSONAL TO
THEM. AND SO I DO APPRECIATE
THAT. UM LIKE PROBABLY MANY OF
MY COLLEAGUES HERE I AM A CHILD
OF DIVORCE FROM A VERY YOUNG AGE
. UM IN MY I DON'T EVER REMEMBER
MY MOTHER AND FATHER LIVING IN
THE SAME HOUSE TOGETHER. AND I
REMEMBER YEARS. OF WHAT? I'M
JUST REALIZING NOW OF A
TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE BETWEEN THE
FIGHTS BETWEEN MY PARENTS, YOU
KNOW, AND I LOVE THEM BOTH. THEY
BOTH LOVE ME. AND SO THAT'S A
GREAT THING. UM, IT'S VERY
COMPLICATED. AND IN ANOTHER
SITUATION I'VE ALREADY SEEN
CURRENT CURRENT LAW. USED
BETWEEN DIFFERENT STATES PARENTS
THAT ARE DIVORCED IN DIFFERENT
STATES. AND HOW, UH, CHILD THAT
IDENTIFIES DIFFERENTLY OR IS IN
THE MIDDLE OF TRANSITIONING. IN
CALIFORNIA JUDGES ARE ALREADY
USING THEIR DISCRETION. THEY
ALREADY CAN USE THAT I HAVE SEEN
IT. THEY ALREADY CAN DO THIS
RIGHT NOW. AND SO I AM CONCERNED
THAT THIS DOES THIS IS THE STATE
TELLING THE COURTS TO GIVE
SPECIAL EMPHASIS TO THIS BECAUSE
THEY CAN ALREADY DO IT. AND SO.
WHEN I LOOK AT THAT, AND I LOOK
AT SORT OF WHAT I WENT THROUGH
GROWING UP. AND A VERY
COMPLICATED FAMILY SITUATION,
AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GOING
TO ADD MORE COMPLICATIONS TO THE
LAW. AND SO WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR A NO VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RUBIO, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AS A TEACHER FOR 17
YEARS, I CAN TELL YOU WHY WAIT
AS A TEACHER FOR 17 YEARS AND,
UH, LATINA WOMAN THAT WAS BORN
IN MEXICO AND, UH, HAS TAUGHT
CHILDREN HAS CHILDREN AND HAVE
PARENTS THAT ARE VERY, UM THEY
HAVE VERY DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ON
THE MODERN WHAT THEY CALL THE
MODERN DAY CHILDREN. I CAN TELL
YOU THAT, UH, PARENTS ARE
INVOLVED IN THEIR KIDS LIVES
EXCEPT FOR WHEN THEY'RE NOT AS A
TEACHER. I CAN TELL YOU THAT
SOME PARENTS ARE INVOLVED.
OTHERS ARE NOT. WE TALK IN THIS
FLOOR ABOUT LETTING PARENTS MAKE
THE CHOICE. MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
OTHER SIDE. AND THEN NOW THAT
THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT
CHILDREN. WE HAVE A MYRIAD OF
OPPOSITION, EXCEPT FOR THE WORDS
IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF A CHILD
. I HAVE A BILL THAT'S COMING
OUT OF MY SISTER HAS A BILL.
SORRY SENATOR RUBIO HAS A BILL
THAT TALKS ABOUT THE BEST
INTERESTS OF A CHILD. COURT THE
COURT SYSTEM DID NOT TAKE THE
BEST INTERESTS OF THAT CHILD AND
THE CHILD IS DEAD. IT WAS A FIVE
YEAR OLD LITTLE BOY. THAT WAS
THAT IS NOW DEAD. WE NEED TO
TALK ABOUT THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE CHILD. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I
ADORE MY COLLEAGUE FOR STANDING
UP FOR HER CHILD IF MY CHILDREN
WERE IN THE SAME SITUATION, I
WOULD BE ADVOCATING FOR THEM. MY
CHILDREN ARE NOT. BUT AS A
TEACHER ADVOCATING FOR CHILDREN
, I AM TIRED OF HEARING. LET
PARENTS MAKE THE CHOICE. DON'T
LET THE PARENTS MAKE THE CHOICE.
THE KIDS ARE STUCK AS MY
COLLEAGUE FROM ROCKLAND STATED.
THE CHILDREN ARE SITTING THERE
NOT THINKING NOT KNOWING WHAT'S
HAPPENING BECAUSE THE ADULTS ARE
ARGUING OVER. WHAT'S RIGHT OR
WHAT IS WRONG. LET'S THINK ABOUT
THE CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES. I
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE
MEASURE FORWARD, BUT WE NEED TO
STOP USING THE CHILDREN'S WELL
FOR THE PARENTS HERE. THE
PARENTS THERE, IT'S ALL RHETORIC
. WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN? I
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE
CHILDREN'S WELL BEING INTO
CONSIDERATION. IF WE DON'T WE'RE
GOING TO HAVE A GENERATION OF
KIDS THAT ARE CONFUSED ABOUT
WHAT WE CARE ABOUT, NOT WHAT
THEY CARE ABOUT OR WHO THEY ARE.
I AND PASSIONATE. I'LL TELL YOU
A STORY AND IT'S FUNNY. MY MOM,
I HAVE BEEN A TOMBOY ALL MOST OF
MY LIFE. AND MY MOTHER ASKED
SENATOR RUBIO WHEN I WAS 16 IF I
WAS A LESBIAN AND MY SISTER HAD
NO IDEA WHAT MY MOM WAS TALKING
ABOUT. BUT MY PARENTS DID NOT
KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH ME. AS YOU
ALL KNOW, I'M A FORCE TO BE
RECKONED WITH. UM AND I AM THE
OLDEST. SO MY PARENTS SUFFERED.
UH BUT MY PARENTS HAD NO IDEA
HOW TO TALK TO ME WHAT TO SAY TO
ME? WE MY PARENTS DON'T SPEAK
ENGLISH, AND THEY WERE JUST
CONFUSED AS PARENTS ON HOW TO
DEAL WITH THE CHILD. BUT WHEN MY
PARENTS ASKED WHAT IS WRONG WITH
YOU, BECAUSE THAT THEY DIDN'T
ASK NICELY. WHAT'S WRONG WITH
YOU? I SAID, MOM, I'M JUST NOT.
I'M TRYING TO FIND MY WAY. MY
MOM FINALLY LEFT ME ALONE AND MY
BEST INTEREST WAS SERVED. IT'S
VERY SIMPLE AND VERY DIFFERENT
THAN WHAT MY COLLEAGUE IS GOING
THROUGH. BUT THE THING THE POINT
IS THAT THE KIDS ARE THE ONES
THAT ARE SUFFERING FOR US.
BICKERING ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
THANK YOU. AND I RESPECTFULLY
ASKED FOR A STRONG I VOTE ON A B
9 57. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S US SOMEBODY
MEMBER GALLAGHER. YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL. AND I
WANT TO SAY AT THE OUTSET. THOSE
OF US WHO ARE OPPOSED TO THIS
BILL AND THE PEOPLE THAT WHO
HAVE SHOWED UP TO TESTIFY AND
TALK ABOUT THIS BILL. IT ARISES
OUT OF A CONCERN. FOR THIS
POLICY, MAKING IT THAT
AFFIRMATION IS THE BEST WAY IT
DOES PUT THE THUMB ON THE SCALE.
SO TO SPEAK, BECAUSE THE
LEGISLATION SPECIFICALLY SAYS
AFFIRMATION IS THE BEST INTEREST
OF THE CHILD. WHEN YOU'RE WHEN
YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE DETERMINING
WHAT THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE
CHILD IS. I ALSO WANT TO SAY, I
THINK MANY OF US DO SYMPATHIZE
WITH TRANSGENDERED YOUTH. AND
WITH CHILDREN DEALING WITH
GENDER DYSPHORIA. IS NOT AN EASY
THING TO DEAL WITH, AND MANY OF
THEM SUFFER FROM MISTREATMENT.
BULLYING. UM AND SO I WANT TO
SAY I WE ABSOLUTELY DENOUNCE
THAT AND THE THINGS THAT HAVE
HAPPENED IN SCHOOLS, UM. I
SYMPATHIZE WITH MY COLLEAGUE
WHO'S BRINGING THIS BILL AND
WITH WHAT SHE'S GONE THROUGH
PERSONALLY. BUT WHAT I DO TAKE
IT SECTION WITH IS THAT WE CAN'T
WHAT WORKED FOR THE AUTHOR. WITH
HER OWN CHILD. SHOULDN'T BE THE
LAW FOR EVERYONE AND HOW THEY
DEAL WITH THEIR CHILD AND HOW
THEY WORK THROUGH THESE ISSUES.
UM. THE OTHER THING THAT I WANT
TO POINT OUT IS AGAIN. THE CODE
ALREADY SAYS TO MY COLLEAGUE
FROM, UH BALDWIN HILLS. I THINK
IT IS. THE CODE ALREADY SAYS.
THAT YOU MUST CONSIDER THE
HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF THE
CHILD THAT IS IN THE CODE TODAY
. SO JUDGES RIGHT NOW ARE WAYNE
ALL THE FACTORS THAT DETERMINE
WHAT IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE CHILD? WHAT IS IN THE BEST
HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF THE
CHILD? THAT'S THE LAW TODAY.
WHAT THIS BILL SAYS, IS THAT
WHEN YOU CONSIDER IT ONE PARENT,
THE PARENT WHO IS AFFIRMING AND
AFFIRMING IS NOT DEFINED, AND
THAT'S A PROBLEM. THAT IS
ACTUALLY A PROBLEM IN THIS BILL
AFFIRMING NEEDS TO BE DEFINED.
BECAUSE GENERALLY IN THAT
TERMINOLOGY, IT MEANS SOCIAL
TRANSITION. IT MEANS AFFIRMING.
GENDER PRONOUNS NAMES, IDENTITY
EXPRESSION, THAT'S WHAT IT
MEANS. AND HERE'S THE PROBLEM
WITH THAT THE SCIENCE IS NOT
DECIDED ON THAT ISSUE. IT'S
ACTUALLY VERY MUCH DISPUTED.
THAT AFFIRMATION IS THE BEST
INTERESTS OF THE CHILD, AND I
JUST WANT TO GO THROUGH. SOME OF
THIS INFORMATION IS EASILY
ACCESSIBLE FOR ANYBODY THAT
WANTED TO RESEARCH. THIS BUT
DECADES OF STUDIES HAVE SHOWN
THAT YOUTH DEALING WITH GENDER
DYSPHORIA THERE IS A DISTINCTION
HERE. LET ME SAY ABSOLUTELY,
BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID
THIS. THERE ARE TRANSGENDERED
YOUTH. NOBODY'S DENYING THEIR
EXISTENCE. THERE ARE CHALLENGE
GENDERED YOUTH. TRANSGENDERED
YOUTH. BUT WHAT MOSTLY WE'RE
DEALING WITH WHEN IT COMES TO
KIDS. KIDS MINERS IS GENDER
DYSPHORIA. THEY'RE WORKING
THROUGH THESE ISSUES. THEY DON'T
THEY DON'T YET UNDERSTAND IF
THEY ARE TRANSGENDER OR NOT. AND
WHAT DECADES OF STUDIES HAVE
SHOWN IS THAT YOUTH DEALING WITH
GENDER DYSPHORIA 65 TO 95?
EVENTUALLY IDENTIFY WITH THEIR
BIOLOGICAL SEX. WHEN THEY GET TO
ADOLESCENTS. THAT'S THE FACTS.
THE DUTCH CLINIC IN AMSTERDAM,
WHICH IS ONE OF THE LEADING
THEY'RE THE LEADING EXPERTS ON
THIS ISSUE, BEEN STUDYING THIS
FOR DECADES FOR YEARS. THEY HAVE
. THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE
ACTUALLY SAYING YOU SHOULD BE
MUCH MORE CAUTIOUS ABOUT
SOCIALLY TRANSITIONING YOUTH.
MINERS WHEN THEY'RE YOUNG.
THOMAS STEEN STEAMS MAMA WHO IS
A LEADING GENDER DYSPHORIA
EXPERT SAYS THE ONLY EVIDENCE HE
HAS SEEN FROM STUDIES AND
REPORTS IN THE LITERATURE IS
THAT NOT ALL TRANSGENDER
CHILDREN WILL PERSIST IN THEIR
TRANSGENDER IDENTITY. WHY IS
THAT IMPORTANT? BECAUSE RIGHT
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PASS A
POLICY THAT SAYS AFFIRMATION IS
THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD
OF THE CHILD PERIOD, EVEN THOUGH
THE SCIENCE SAYS THEY WILL NOT
PERSIST IN THAT YOU'RE AFFIRMING
A CHILD AND SOMETHING THAT WOULD
NOT PERSIST, ACCORDING TO THE
SCIENCE. 30 SECONDS, THE
STANDARDS OF CARE. FROM THE
WORLD PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION
OF TRANSGENDER HEALTH. ACTUALLY
CAUTIONS AGAINST EARLY SOCIAL
TRANSITION AFFIRMATION. AND THEY
ACTUALLY URGE. THEY ACTUALLY
HAVE YOU GO THROUGH MENTAL
ASSESSMENTS OF THE CHILD BEFORE
YOU MOVE TOWARDS SOCIAL
TRANSITION AND AFFIRMATION. THIS
IS ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE
GROWTH OF NON BINARY PEOPLE WHO
ARE IDENTIFIED AS NON BINARY IN
OUR YOUTH, WHICH HAS BEEN SHOWN
IN SURVEYS. THIS POLICY DOESN'T
TAKE THAT INTO A GALLAGHER,
PLEASE CLOSE. I WANT TO GET THIS
OUT THERE. THIS IS IMPORTANT
THAT WE KNOW WHAT THE SCIENCE
AND THE INFORMATION AND IT'S
SAYING. EVEN A RECENT FOLLOW UP
STUDY IN 2021. FOUND THAT ABOUT
139 PARTICIPANTS ONLY 17
PERSISTED IN THEIR GENDER
IDENTITY. THIS WAS LOOKING AT
YOUNG BOYS. 122 87% WENT BACK TO
THEIR BIOLOGICAL SEX. YOU CAN'T
HAVE A. STATE A POINT OF ORDER.
I'M LIMIT ON SPEECHES. YES,
THERE IS. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
GALLAGHER. YOU WERE GIVEN THAT
OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU, SIR.
ALRIGHT LET'S SEE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ZABAR, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. MADAME SPEAKER
MEMBERS. UM I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF A B 59 57. YOU KNOW,
THIS ISN'T COMPLICATED. UM THE
SCIENCE AND THE DATA IS NOT
COMPLICATED. EVERYONE WHO IS
EXPERTS IN ASSISTING IN THE
MEDICAL PROFESSION AND THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFESSION AND
PSYCHIATRIC PROFESSIONS. THEY
ALL AGREE OTHER THAN THESE
OUTLIERS THAT BASICALLY
AFFIRMING KIDS IS IN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF OUR KIDS. FRANKLY
AND WE KNOW FROM LOOKING AT THE
STATISTICS. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
AFFIRMATION DOESN'T TAKE PLACE?
IT IS NOT A SURPRISE THAT LGBTQ
KIDS ARE MORE THAN FOUR TIMES
MORE LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF
SCHOOL. OR THAT FOUR OUT OF 10
HOMELESS YOUTH ARE MEMBERS OF
THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY. AND SO THIS
BILL, ALL IT DOES IS ITS TELL IS
IT IS IT RAISES FOR THE JUDGE?
ONE FACTOR OUT OF ALL THOSE
FACTORS THAT ARE OUT THERE. THAT
BASICALLY SAYS THAT IF YOU ARE
LOOKING AT A CUSTODY ABOUT
CUSTODY DISPUTES AND AS YOU'RE
DECIDING CUSTODY WHETHER. BUT
THERE'S PART OF THE TIME FOR ONE
PARENT PART OF THE TIME FOR THE
OTHER ALL THE TIME FROM PEOPLE
WITH ALL THOSE CUSTODY DECISIONS
THAT YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ONE
FACTOR. WHICH IS. EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT FOR TRANSGENDER KIDS
OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE OUR KIDS THAT
ARE EXPLORING GENDER DYSPHORIA.
HAVING A PARENT WHO IS ACCEPTING
OF THEM AND LOVES THEM. IS ONE
OF THE GREATEST FACTORS AND A
CHILD'S LONG TERM HEALTH AND
PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH. AND ALL
THESE OTHER FACTORS THAT UM,
THAT THAT AFFECT THE LGBTQ
COMMUNITY BECAUSE OF LACK OF
ACCEPTANCE. SO WITH THAT, I
DON'T THINK THAT THE SCIENCE IS
NOT ALL ON ONE SIDE. THE SCIENCE
IS ACTUALLY ON THE SIDE OF WHERE
THIS BILL IS, AND I STRONGLY
ASKED FOR AND I VOTE. SEEING NO
FURTHER DISCUSSION DEBATE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WILSON WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. THANK YOU TO THE
MEMBERS THAT SPOKE ON BOTH SIDES
OF THE AISLE FOR ROBUST
DISCUSSION AT THOROUGHLY
APPRECIATE IT. AND I KNOW THE
OUR RESIDENTS AND STATE OF
CALIFORNIA APPRECIATED AND I'VE
HAD GREAT CONVERSATIONS WITH MY
REPUBLICAN COLLEAGUES ON THIS
BILL. THERE WAS ROBUST
DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE, WHICH
LED TO A LOT OF CHANGES THAT
ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES AND
CONCERNS PEOPLE HAVE, BECAUSE
WHEN WE CREATE POLICY CREATE
LAWS WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR.
HOW DO WE MITIGATE THE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES? AND I
THINK THE ROBUST DISCUSSION WE
HAD IN THE SENATE HELPED DO THAT
. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT
PARENTS AFFIRM THEIR CHILDREN
THEY HAVE SINCE THE DAWN OF
TIME. TYPICALLY, IT HAPPENS WHEN
THERE UM, GENERAL IDENTITY
EXPRESSION MATCHES THEIR
BIOLOGICAL GENDER. BUT WHAT
HAPPENS IS WHEN IT DOESN'T.
THAT'S WHEN THE AFFIRMATION
STARTS TO WANE, AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE.
ALTHOUGH IT'S CALLED THE T G I
BILL THEY'RE NOT MENTIONED.
ANYWHERE IN THE LAW. WHAT'S
MENTIONED IN THE LAW IS THE
CHILD'S GENDER, IDENTITY AND
EXPRESSION AND THE PARENTS
AFFIRMATION OF THAT, WHATEVER IT
IS, BECAUSE THAT IS OUR DUTY AS
PARENTS TO AFFIRM OUR CHILDREN.
AND IF THAT CHILD CHANGES OVER
TIME, GUESS WHAT? IT'S OUR DUTY
AS PARENTS TO AFFIRM OUR
CHILDREN, SO WE'RE MAKING SURE
THAT WHEN THEY'RE GOING THROUGH
A CUSTODY BATTLE WHEN THEY CAN'T
AGREE, AND I'VE BEEN A PRODUCT
OF DIVORCE AND KNOW WHAT IT WAS
LIKE TO HAVE MY PARENTS BATTLING
OVER OVER THINGS. AND I HAVE WE
HEARD IT FROM OUR COLLEAGUE, BUT
WE'RE BOTH STRAIGHT. SO THAT
WASN'T AN ISSUE BUT JUST IMAGINE
GOING THROUGH THE TENSION AND
THE WEAPONIZATION AND A CHILD
CUSTODY BATTLE AND YOU HAPPEN TO
BE A MEMBER OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. AND YOU HAPPEN TO BE
A T G. I CHILD? HOW MUCH MORE
TERRIFYING, SCARY ANXIETY
WRITTEN. THAT IS, AND THAT'S WHY
THIS BILL IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
. AND THAT IS WHY I AM ASKING
FOR A STRONG I VOTE TO LET OUR
CHILDREN KNOW NO MATTER WHO THEY
ARE, WHAT THEIR CHEN ITTY GENDER
IDENTITY IS OR EXPRESSION THAT
WE FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED
TO BE AFFIRMED. THANK YOU SO

SHE FOUGHT FOR CHANGE THROUGH
VARIOUS AVENUES, WHETHER IT WAS
THROUGH PROTECTING HER
NEIGHBORHOOD TO ORGANIZING
MULTICULTURAL EVENTS AND
SUPPORTING PROGRESSIVE
INITIATIVES TO CREATE AWARENESS

TERRORIST PERSONALITY WAS TO

RENTERS TOGETHER TO WORK
COLLABORATIVELY ON LOCAL ISSUES.
ONE OF HER PROUDEST
ACCOMPLISHMENTS WAS TO THE

COMMUNITY GARDEN WITHIN THE
VILLA PARK NEIGHBORHOOD. THIS
GARDEN PROVIDED A SPACE FOR
RESIDENTS IN THE NEARBY SENIOR
LIVING COMPLEX TO COME TOGETHER
TO PRACTICE THEIR GARDENING
SKILLS AND CULTIVATE NEW
FRIENDSHIPS. IN 1996. I HAD THE
PLEASURE OF APPOINTING TERROR TO
SERVE ON THE CITY OF PASADENA'S
HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION, IN
WHICH HE PROMOTED THE PASADENA
PLAYHOUSE DISTRICT. PLAYED A KEY
ROLE IN THE LATINO HERITAGE
PARADE AND FESTIVAL AND ASSISTED
WITH THE PEACE THROUGH MUSIC
BENEFIT CONCERT FOR THE MARTIN

THE CITY'S ACCESSIBILITY AND
DISABILITY COMMISSION. THE
FRIENDS OF HUMAN RELATIONS
COMMISSION AND THEN BECAME
MANAGER OF THE COPA DEORA
APARTMENTS WHERE SHE CARED
DEEPLY FOR THE ELDERLY TENANTS.
TERRY WAS A FEARLESS, STRONG,
GENEROUS PERSON WHO EXTENDED THE
HAND OF FRIENDSHIP WITH AN OPEN
HEART. SHE IS SURVIVED BY HER
CLOSE RELATIVES, DEAR FRIENDS.
