SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS FROM

REPLACEMENT HOUSING ACT. SB 593
OPENS OF FUNDING TO REPLACE 5800

OUR CRITICAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN
THE FILLMORE SOUTH OF MARKET

NARROW AND TAILORED FUNDING
SOURCE FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT
PROPERTY TAX TRUST FUND TO
FINANCE THESE UNITS WITHOUT
IMPACTING OTHER PRIORITIES, LIKE
EDUCATION OR OUR STATE GENERAL

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S BARRY, CAN YOU
RECOGNIZED? THANK YOU, MADAM.
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE TO
PRESENT SB 4 78 ON BEHALF OF
SENATORS DODD AND SKINNER. SB 4
78 COMBATS THE PRACTICE THAT I
KNOW EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US AND
OUR CONSTITUENTS IS FACED GOING
ONLINE TO BUY SOMETHING YOU SEE
A PRICE THAT SEEMS REALLY
ATTRACTIVE. YOU MAKE IT TO THE
END WHEN YOU'RE READY TO PAY,
AND THE PRICE HAS NEARLY
DOUBLED. BECAUSE THEY HAVE
TACKED ON IMMENSE FEES ON TOP OF
WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY ADVERTISED
. SO THIS BILL IS VERY SIMPLE.
IT MAKES THE PRACTICE UNLAWFUL
OF ADVERTISING A PRICE FOR A
GOOD OR SERVICE THAT DOES NOT
INCLUDE ALL REQUIRED CHARGES,
TAXES OR OTHER THAN TAXES OR
FEES IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
THIS IS REALLY CRITICAL TO ALLOW
FOR TRANSPARENCY AND ALLOW OUR
CONSUMERS TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
PAYING UPFRONT AND NOT GET
TARGETED BY THESE HIDDEN FEES
THAT WE ARE ALL SEEING DAY IN
AND DAY OUT WITH THAT. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WHOEVER YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS COLLEAGUES I
RISE TODAY TO PRESENT SP 90, THE
INSULIN AFFORDABILITY ACT ON
BEHALF OF SENATOR WIENER.
MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS SPACE
THE FEAR OF BEING ABLE TO AFFORD
THE INSULIN THEY NEED. THIS BILL
WOULD ALLEVIATE THOSE
INDIVIDUALS, INDIVIDUALS
RATIONALLY IN THEIR INSULIN TO
SAVE ON COST. INSULIN PRICES
HAVE NEARLY TRIPLED IN THE PAST
DECADE. AS A RESULT, ONE IN FOUR
PEOPLE REPORT UNDER USE OF THEIR
INSULIN. RESEARCH FROM USC FOUND
THAT THE PRICE INCREASES NOT
BECAUSE OF RISING COST IS
BECAUSE OF PHARMACY BENEFIT
MANAGERS THAT ARE CHARGING MORE
TO SUPPLY PHARMACIES AND HEALTH
PLANS. DESPITE THEIR CLAIMS AND
COST SAVINGS. THOSE SAVINGS DO
NOT GET PASSED DOWN TO CONSUMERS
. RATHER PATIENTS ARE FORCED TO
BUY INSULIN OUT OF THEIR HEALTH
CARE COVERAGE THAT DOES NOT
COUNT TOWARDS THEIR OUT OF
POCKET MAXIMUMS. SP 90 CAPS THE
COPAYMENTS FOR INSULIN TO $35
FOR A 30 DAY SUPPLY INCLUDES A
DELAYED IMPLEMENTATION UNTIL
2025 FOR THOSE UNDERCOVERED,
CALIFORNIA. IMPOSING A HIGH
DEDUCTIBLE AND INSULIN AND
REQUIRING INDIVIDUALS TO MEET IT
CREATES A FINANCIAL BURDEN THAT
IS ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY.
COLLEAGUES ON BEHALF OF THE 4
MILLION CALIFORNIANS DIAGNOSED
WITH DIABETES TO MANAGE THEIR
DISEASE AND STAY HEALTHY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
ON SB 90. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WALDRON, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS I RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB
90. WITH APPROXIMATELY 3.2
MILLION CALIFORNIANS AND ALMOST
A MILLION MORE AND DIAGNOSED TO
HAVE DIABETES AND RELY ON DAILY
DOSES OF INSULIN TO SURVIVE.
UNFORTUNATELY INSULIN PRICES
HAVE NEARLY TRIPLED, CREATING
FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS FOR PEOPLE
WHO RELY ON IT TO SURVIVE. S P
90 WOULD PROHIBIT HMOS AND
INSURANCE COMPANIES FROM
REQUIRING CALIFORNIANS TO SPEND
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THE

SOME SUCCESSES, BUT

WE CAN DO MUCH MORE TO SPREAD
THESE BENEFITS TO DESERVING

SINCE IT BEING JUST A FEW YEARS
AWAY, IS STILL HAS NEARLY HALF
OF ITS PLAN, FUNDING UNSPENT AND
AN EXCESS OF 400 MILLION PLUS

INOCULATING THE COURTS.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HAPPENED. YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. SO I'M HERE TO TALK
ABOUT SMALL CLAIMS COURT. SP 71
AFTER NUMEROUS AMENDMENTS IS NOW
A VERY MODEST BILL THAT WOULD
INCREASE THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT
AMOUNT IN CONTROVERSY FROM
10,000 TO 12,500 THE AMOUNT OF
CONTROVERSY FOR LIMITED CIVIL
CASES FROM 25,000 TO 35,000.
DESPITE RAPID INFLATION. THE
SMALL CLAIMS AMOUNT HAS NOT BEEN
INCREASED SINCE 2011 WHEN IT WAS
INCREASED FROM 7500 TO 10,000.
AND LIMITED JURISDICTION HAS
NEVER BEEN INCREASED FROM 25,000
SINCE IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE
20TH CENTURY. THESE COURTS HAVE
LIMITED JURISDICTION PROVIDE AN
ACCESSIBLE FORUM TO RESOLVE
MINOR CIVIL DISPUTES. THEY ARE
LESS FORMAL AND MORE AFFORDABLE
TO PARTIES THAN TRIALS IN OTHER
COURTS BECAUSE THEY DON'T
REQUIRE LENGTHY DISCOVERY.
SELECTION OF WITNESSES OR. EVEN
AN ATTORNEY. ALL OF THESE
PROCEDURES CAN BE MAJOR BARRIERS
TO FILING AND THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS
NECESSARY IN SOME SB SEVEN TO
EXCUSE ME. SP 71 WOULD INCREASE
ACCESS IN THREE IMPORTANT WAYS
IT WOULD EXPAND THE AMOUNT OF
CASES THAT QUALIFY FOR LIMITED
JURISDICTION CASES WHEREBY BOTH
PARTIES CAN RESOLVE DISPUTES
WITHOUT EXCESSIVE DISCOVERY.
COST NUMBER TWO. IT WOULD ADJUST
THE THRESHOLD AMOUNTS FOR THESE
FILINGS TO MORE ACCURATELY
REFLECT INFLATION. AND LASTLY,
IT WILL ALLOW PLAINTIFFS WHO
HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN UNABLE TO
FIND AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT
THEM TO FILE THEIR CLAIMS IN
LIMITED JURISDICTION OR SMALL
CLAIMS COURTS ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR AMBERG, I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE. SEEING NO

PLACE NARCAN IN SPACES
FREQUENTLY ACCESSED BY
CALIFORNIANS, GIVEN THE SEVERE
RISK POSED BY OUR STATE'S

THAT OTHER STATES WHICH HAVE
IMPLEMENTED SIMILAR DISTRIBUTION

HOUSING PROJECTS, NONE OF THE
SURPLUS PROPERTIES SOLD TO LOCAL

ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ARE VERY YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED SPEAKER MEMBERS I
RISE TO PRESENT SB 447 ON BEHALF
OF SENATE PRO TEM TONI ATKINS.
THIS BILL WILL LIFT CALIFORNIA'S
TRAVEL BAN AND CREATE IN ITS
PLACE THE BRIDGE PROJECT, A
NONPARTISAN MARKETING PROGRAM
THAT COULD BE USED IN OTHER
STATES TO EMPHASIZE THE VALUE OF
INCLUSION AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE
LGBT Q PLUS COMMUNITY. AS YOU
KNOW, BACK IN 2016. WE PASSED A
B 18 87. THE TRAVEL BAN, WHICH
PREVENTS STATE FUNDED TRAVEL TO
PLACES WITH ANTI LGBT Q. PLUS
LAWS, THE TRAVEL BAN HAS HAD A
MEANINGFUL IMPACT, PARTICULARLY
IN THE EARLY YEARS OF ITS
IMPLEMENTATION. A B 18 87 HELPED
RAISE AWARENESS REGARDING LGBT Q
PLUS DISCRIMINATION AND EVEN
GAVE STATES LIKE NORTH CAROLINA
AND GEORGIA. SOME PAUSE ABOUT
THEIR DISCRIMINATORY LAWS.
UNFORTUNATELY IN THE YEARS SINCE
THE TRAVEL BANS PASSAGE STATES
HAVE CONTINUED TO ENACT THIS
DISCRIMINATORY LAWS. THESE
DISCRIMINATING LAWS AND THE LIST
OF BANNED STATES, UH, STATES
THAT CALIFORNIA'S ARE FUNDED
TRAVEL IS BANNED, HAS RISEN TO
26. IN MANY INSTANCES, THE
TRAVEL BAN HAS INADVERTENTLY
CAUSED CALIFORNIA. TO ISOLATED
SERVICES AND CITIZENS IN A TIME
WHEN WE ARE LEADING THE NATION
IN ENSURING INCLUSIVITY AND
FREEDOM RESEARCHERS, MANY OF
WHOM ARE SEEKING TO ANALYZE AND
SHED LIGHT ON THE DISCRIMINATION
AND STATES, SUBJECT TO THE
TRAVEL BAN, ARE UNABLE TO USE
STATE FUNDS TO TRAVEL TO THOSE
STATES FOR STUDY OR TO PRESENT
THEIR FINDINGS TO OTHERS IN
THEIR FIELD. SEVERAL STATE
UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC PROGRAMS
ALSO HAD TO ADJUST TO A T A B 18
87 AND SECURE PRIVATE FUNDS FOR
OUT OF STATE TRAVEL NOW TO 26
STATES, AND THEN THERE'S THE
IMPACT ON CALIFORNIA'S EFFORTS
TO BE A BEACON OF HOPE FOR
REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM AND HELP
THOSE IN STATES OBTAINED CARE IN
THOSE STATES OBTAIN CARE. SB 4
47 RETHINKS OUR APPROACH, IT
WOULD LIFT THE CURRENT TRAVEL
BAN AND PUT IN ITS PLACE THE
BRIDGE PROJECT BUILDING AND
REINFORCING INCLUSIVE, DIVERSE,
GENDER SUPPORTIVE EQUALITY. THE
INTENT OF THE BRIDGE PROJECT IS
TO TARGET AUDIENCES IN STATES
THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED
DISCRIMINATORY LAWS WITH
COMPELLING MESSAGING REGARDING
ANTI DISCRIMINATION TO OPEN
HEARTS AND MINDS AND TO HELP OUR
LGBTQ FOLKS AND OTHER STATES
FEEL LESS ISOLATED AND ALONE.
WITH NEARLY 500 ANTI LGBTQ BILLS
HAVING BEEN INTRODUCED AND
LEGISLATURES NATIONWIDE THIS
YEAR ALONE NOW, MORE THAN EVER,
WE NEED TO REACH INTO THOSE
COMMUNITIES WITH MESSAGES OF
SUPPORT INCLUSIVITY AND
UNDERSTANDING. IT IS CRITICAL
THAT WE REMAIN MINDFUL OF THE
IMPACT THESE DISGUSTING LAWS
HAVE ON OUR COMMUNITIES.
IMPORTANTLY SB 4 47 WOULD NOT
FORCE ANY CALIFORNIA EMPLOYEES
TO TRAVEL TO STATES WITH
DISCRIMINATORY LAWS WORKING WITH
LGBTQ, PLUS STAKEHOLDERS, THE
AUTHOR CRAFTED LANGUAGE TO
SPECIFY THAT STATE EMPLOYEES AND
OFFICERS WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED
TO TRAVEL TO A STATE OR STATES
THAT HAVE ENACTED A LAW THAT
WOULD DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS
OF SEX SEXUAL ORIENTATION.
GENDER IDENTITY OR GENDER
EXPRESSION. UNDER CURRENT LAW,
THOSE WHO CAN'T ACCESS PRIVATE
FUNDS ARE STILL ABLE TO TRAVEL
FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT,
SPORTING EVENTS AND OTHER
REASONS. THE IMPACT OF THE
TRAVEL BAN HAS BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATELY FELT BY
SMALLER SPORTS PROGRAMS AT
REAGAN FILE ACADEMICS, MANY OF
WHOM ARE SEEKING TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND DISCRIMINATION, AND
ADVANCE THE L G B T Q. PLUS
MOVEMENT. I ALSO WANT TO
REINFORCE THAT THIS BILL
PROHIBITS BRIDGE PROJECT
MARKETING CAMPAIGNS FROM
PROMOTING A POLITICAL PURPOSE OR
FEATURING ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL
OR CANDIDATE FOR ELECTED OFFICE
. IT WILL FOCUS ON ISSUES, NOT
POLITICS. MESSAGES TO ENCOURAGE
KINDNESS, COMPASSION AND PEACE
COLLEAGUES. SB 4 47. THE BRIDGE
PROJECT IS THE POSITIVE APPROACH
AND THE POSITIVE TOOL THAT
CALIFORNIA NEEDS AND IT'S THE
POSITIVE MESSAGE THAT THE REST
OF THE NATION NEEDS TO HEAR, SEE
AND FEEL. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR I VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
WARD YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I WRONG AND WISE
AND STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 447 AS
THE VICE CHAIR OF OUR LGBT Q
CAUCUS. WE HAVE TRIED FOR
SEVERAL YEARS. I THINK TO BE
ABLE TO LOOK FOR WAYS THAT
CALIFORNIA CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
AS WE'VE SEEN MORE AND MORE ANTI
LGBTQ HATE AND LEGISLATION
MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THIS
COUNTRY. THE IDEA TO BE ABLE TO
ACTUALLY HAVE A PENALTY THAT WAS
OUT THERE IN ECONOMIC
DISINCENTIVE WITH SOMETHING
ENTERTAINED FOR A NUMBER OF
YEARS NOW, AND I'M GRATEFUL FOR
THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE TO BE
ABLE TO. IMPLEMENT THAT, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY, IT'S NOT WORKING
RATHER THAN ACTUALLY HAVE AN
IMPACT. WE'VE SEEN MORE AND MORE
STATES BE ABLE TO START TO MOVE
AND JUST THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
AND JUST TO MY COLLEAGUE FROM
WEST HOLLYWOOD POINTS. THIS HAS
LEFT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITHIN
THOSE AREAS WHO WE ALSO CARE
ABOUT WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND
CARE AND POSITIVE POSITIVITY
THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO
WEATHER SOME OF THEIR OWN, UH,
ENVIRONMENTS. AND SO I THINK
IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE SHIFT
GEARS THAT WE LOOK FORWARD AN
APPROACH LIKE SENATOR TOTEMIC
BEING ABLE TO OFFER THROUGH THIS
BILL BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT SUPPORT AND
NURTURING THAT I KNOW A LOT OF
OUR FELLOW AMERICANS ARE LACKING
RIGHT NOW. UM I ALSO WANTED TO
TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK A LOT OF
THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY THAT'S
OUT THERE THAT ALSO HAS STOOD
FIRM WITH OURS AND BEING ABLE TO
TRY TO RESPOND TO SOME OF THESE
TACTICS. BUT IF SOMETHING IS NOT
WORKING, I THINK IT'S IMPERATIVE
ON US TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH GEARS
AND MAYBE TRY A NEW CALIFORNIA
INITIATIVE THAT'S GOING TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE A BETTER AND MORE
POSITIVE IMPACT. SO WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR I VOTE
ON SP 447. SEE NO FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S VERDICT. YOU
WANT TO CLOSE. I JUST WANT TO
MENTION THAT THIS IS SUPPORTED

DISTRACTED DRIVING BEHAVIOR.
THERE IS ALSO AN INCREASING
CONCERN THAT SUCH CAMERAS COULD
BE EXPLOITED BY DATA BROKERS.
AND OTHER THIRD PARTIES WHO
WOULD MANIPULATE AND SELL THE
IMAGES. SP 2 96 WOULD PLACE
RESTRICTIONS ON THE RETENTION

HARASS A SCHOOL EMPLOYEE OR MAKE
CREDIBLE THREATS AGAINST THE

REASONS RELATED TO THE EMPLOYEES
COURSE OF DUTIES WHILE THEY'RE
AWAY FROM A SCHOOL SITE OR AFTER
SCHOOL HOURS. THE BILL IS
SUPPORTED BY CFT, THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION AND
EQUALITY, CALIFORNIA. ACROSS THE
STATE. WE'VE SEEN GROWING
CONFLICT SURROUNDING PUBLIC
EDUCATION TOPICS AT THE CENTER
OF THE CONFLICT INCLUDE
INSTRUCTION ABOUT RACE AND
RACISM, BOOKS AND INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS. AND L G B T Q. PLUS
STUDENT WRITES. UNFORTUNATELY
DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACADEMIC
STANDARDS ARE INAPPROPRIATELY
AIMED AT OUR HARDWORKING
EDUCATORS WITH REPORTS OF SOME
INDIVIDUALS ARE RESORTING. Tð
THREATENING SCHOOL EMPLOYEES.
WHILE THE EDUCATION CODE
CURRENTLY PROTECTS SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES AT THEIR PLACE OF
EMPLOYMENT. THESE INCIDENTS DO
NOT SOLELY OCCUR WHILE EDUCATORS
ARE AT THEIR RESPECTIVE SCHOOL
SITES. SOME RECEIVED THREATS IN
OFF CAMPUS SETTINGS. MEMBERS
EDUCATORS SHOULD NOT BE
THREATENED OR HARASSED FOR
PROVIDING ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION
IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA
STATE STANDARDS. DISAGREEMENTS
WITH ACADEMIC STANDARDS SHOULD
BE APPROPRIATELY ADDRESS TO OUR

EDUCATION AND TO US AS
LEGISLATORS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT SB 5 96 DOES NOT SEEK
TO INFRINGE UPON A PARENT'S

EXPLICITLY STATES THAT
CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED

ENGAGE WITH THEIR SCHOOL. THEY
IN FACT, ARE ENCOURAGED TO GO TO
THEIR SCHOOLS AND FIRST SPEAK TO
TEACHER, PRINCIPAL
SUPERINTENDENT AND, OF COURSE,
THE SCHOOL BOARD IF THEY HAVE
ISSUES WITH THEIR CHILD'S
EDUCATION. THIS SIMPLY SAYS THAT
IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN THAT
THEY GET AN AGREEMENT ON THEIR
ISSUE THAT THEY CANNOT THEN MOVE
INTO THREATENING AND HARASSING
BEHAVIOR, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY
TRUE OF ANY EMPLOYEE. WHETHER
IT'S PUBLIC SAFETY, WHETHER IT'S
A NURSE, WHETHER IT IS A RETAIL
CLERK, WE SHOULD NOT BE SOLVING
ISSUES BY BECOMING THREATENING
AND HARASSING, AND THAT IS WHY I
SUPPORT SB 596. SEEING THE

SAY YOU BUILD IN A TWO U AND THE
PERSON YOU HAVE LIVING IN THERE,
MAYBE IT'S YOUR MOTHER OR FATHER
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN NO
LONGER LIVE THERE. OR MAYBE YOU
HAVE KIDS THERE AND YOUR KIDS
MOVE ON. AND SO YOU WANT TO
ALLOW A TENANT TO LIVE IN THERE,
OR MAYBE YOU JUST BUILD A HOME
BECAUSE HOME PRICES ARE SO
UNAFFORDABLE IN CALIFORNIA. THAT
YOU BUILD AN 80 YOU TO GENERATE
EXTRA MONEY TO HELP YOU PAY FOR

ANY REASON WHY LOCAL GOVERNMENT

NUMBER 263 SP 799 CLERK WILL
READ 7 99 BY SENATOR PORTANTINO
AND OTHERS RELATED UNEMPLOYMENT
COMPENSATION OF MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION THEREFORE,
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S HOLDING YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I WAS I RISE
TO PRESENT SP 7 99 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR PORTANTINO, WHICH I'M A
PROUD JOINT AUTHOR. A B 799 WILL
ALLOW WORKERS INVOLVED IN A
TRADE DISPUTE TO COLLECT
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE BENEFITS
AFTER TWO WEEKS. CALIFORNIA
WORKERS CONTINUE TO STRIKE
DEMONSTRATING THE STRENGTH AND
UNITY AMONGST OUR WORKING CLASS
, BUT ALSO THEIR FRUSTRATION.
WORKERS DO NOT GO ON STRIKE
BECAUSE THEY WANT TO THEY DO SO
AS A LAST RESORT, WITHHOLDING
WAGES TO CONVINCE EMPLOYERS TO
COME TO THE NEGOTIATION TABLE
FOR FAIR TERMS. WHEN THEY STRIKE
, WORKERS ARE PUTTING THEIR
LIVELIHOOD ON THE LINE AS BILLS
PILE UP. RENT AND MORTGAGES GO
UNPAID MEDICAL BILLS
ACCUMULATING DEBT RACKS UP. SB
799 WOULD PROVIDE A LIFELINE FOR
CALIFORNIA WORKFORCE. WHILE
PRESERVING THE ECONOMY AND THE
RIGHT TO LAWFUL STRIKE. SB 799
DOES NOT CHANGE STATE LAW
OUTLINING QUALIFICATIONS TO
APPLY FOR UI BENEFITS. FINALLY
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT WOULD BECOME ELIGIBLE FOR
UI BENEFITS UNDER SB 799 WOULD
BE NEGLIGIBLE. FROM 2012 TO
2022. CALIFORNIA HAD 56 MAJOR
STRIKES. OF THESE 56, ONLY TWO
LASTED MORE THAN TWO WEEKS WITH
ROUGHLY 50,000 PARTICIPANTS.
THAT IS ROUGHLY 3% OF THE
OVERALL 1.3 MILLION PEOPLE.
APPLIED FOR UI BENEFITS IN 2022.
MANY EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER THE
CONDITION OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE TRUST FUND. I SHARE
THOSE CONCERNS. WITHOUT A DOUBT
. CALIFORNIA NEEDS TO ADDRESS
THE STRUCTURAL DEFICIT IN THE
TRUST FUND. BUT THE EFFECT OF SB
799 AND THE DEFICIT WILL BE
MINISCULE. LIKELY 0.12 0.2.
PAYOUTS FROM THE FUND IN COMING
YEARS. DESPITE THE STATE OF THE
U. I TRUST FUND WE CAN AFFORD SB
799. SB 79 99 WILL HELP
CALIFORNIA WORKERS KEEP FOOD ON
THEIR TABLES, KEEP WORKERS AND
THEIR FAMILIES FINANCIALLY
SECURE. AND KEEP THE ECONOMY
ALIVE, EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A
LABOR NEGOTIATION. THIS POLICY
HAS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL IN OTHER
STATES AND HAS BEEN UPHELD BY
THE SUPREME COURT. IT IS UP TO
US TO KEEP HELP THESE WORKERS,
THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES
BY ALLOWING PEOPLE TO ACCESS
UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS DURING
DIFFICULT TIMES MEMBERS. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S FRIEDMAN,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
MEMBERS. I RISE AS A PROUD
PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR OF SP 7 99
MEMBERS. I REPRESENT AN AREA
THAT HAS A VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE
OF WORKERS THAT ARE RIGHT NOW ON
STRIKE. FROM HOSPITAL WORKERS TO
THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
WRITERS DIRECTORS, ACTORS AND
OTHERS. THERE'S NO PART OF MY
DISTRICT THAT'S NOT BEING
AFFECTED BY WHAT'S HAPPENING
RIGHT NOW, WITH PEOPLE STANDING
UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS AND MAKING
THEIR VOICES HEARD. TWO BIG
BUSINESSES. THIS ECONOMIC EFFECT
CAN'T BE UNDER OVERSTATED. AND I
WANT TO SAY TWO MAIN THINGS. FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO MIGHT BE HAVING
CONCERNS ABOUT THIS BILL. FIRST
OF ALL. LET'S NOT TAKE OUR
CONCERNS ABOUT E D D ABOUT OUR
FUNDS OUT ON PEOPLE WHO NEED THE
HELP RIGHT NOW. THOSE ARE
PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE ISSUES AND
THEIR ISSUES THAT WE SHOULD
THINK ABOUT, AND WE SHOULD DEAL
WITH. BUT NOT BY WITHHOLDING
MONEY TO PEOPLE WHO DESPERATELY
NEED THAT MONEY TO PUT FOOD ON
THEIR TABLE AND TO HELP PAY
THEIR RENT. IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE
THAT IT'S THE RIGHT OF EVERY
WORKER TO STRIKE. WHICH IS
FUNDAMENTAL. IN OUR NATION. THEN
WE SHOULD ALSO BE WILLING TO
GIVE THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE
EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT SOME
RELIEF. NOW THE SECOND THING I
WANTED TO SAY IS THAT MY
DISTRICT AND MANY OF OUR
DISTRICTS THAT ARE IMPACTED
ACROSS THE STATE ARE VERY HIGH
COST OF LIVING AREAS. RENTED
MIND DISTRICT ARE TYPICALLY IN
THE 2500 TO $4000 RANGE JUST FOR
SOMEBODY RENTING AN APARTMENT
FOR THEIR FAMILY. SO THE IDEA
THAT SOMEONE'S GOING TO THINK
THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE E D D
BECAUSE THEY HAVE UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE THAT SMALL AMOUNT OF
MONEY IT'S GOING TO BE AN
INCENTIVE FOR THEM SOMEHOW TO
STRIKE WHEN THEY OTHERWISE MIGHT
NOT HAVE IT'S REALLY LUDICROUS.
THIS MONEY IS NOT GOING TO PAY
PEOPLE'S RENT. IT'S NOT GOING TO
PUT THE FOOD ON THEIR TABLE.
IT'S JUST GOING TO HELP THEM NOT
FEEL SO DESPERATE WHEN THEY'RE
SIMPLY EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT.
AND THE ONLY WAY THAT WORKERS
HAVE TO HAVE A VOICE. WITH LARGE
CORPORATIONS IS BY STRIKING WHEN
PUSH COMES TO SHOVE, THAT IS THE
WAY THAT THEY CAN MAKE. THEIR
VOICES HEARD AN EXERCISE SOME
AMOUNT OF LEVERAGE. SO
WITHHOLDING THESE FUNDS WOULD BE
PUNITIVE. AND IT WOULD HURT REAL
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW. SO I WOULD SAY
, PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
ECONOMY, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
WORKERS FOR THE SAKE OF OUR
CITIES ACROSS LOS ANGELES AND
OUR SMALL BUSINESSES WHO JUST
NEED A LITTLE BIT OF HELP.
PLEASE SUPPORT SB 2 63. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
THREE OF US YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AS AN
L, A MEMBER I HAVE SEEN WHAT
HAPPENS DURING PROTECT PROTECTED
STRIKES. MANY OF MY CONSTITUENTS
ARE ON STRIKE WRITERS, HOTEL AND
HEALTH WORKERS. THESE WORKERS
ARE LEFT WITHOUT INCOME AND HAVE
TO WAIT IN LINE FOR FOOD,
DIAPERS AND SCHOOL SUPPLY
DONATIONS. SMALL BUSINESSES AND
LANDLORDS STRUGGLE AS THEIR
REGULAR CUSTOMERS CAN AFFORD TO
BUY EVEN A CUP OF COFFEE, LET
ALONE PAY THEIR RENT. I KNOW
THAT THERE ARE CONCERNS THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED ABOUT THE
HEALTH OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT FUND
AS A REASON NOT TO VOTE FOR THIS
BILL. AS WE'VE HEARD, THIS BILL
WILL HAVE A MINOR IMPACT ON THE
UI FUND, BUT A HUGE IMPACT ON
THE LIVES OF STRIKING WORKERS
AND THEIR FAMILIES. WE SHOULD
NOT LET THE FAILURE TO REFORM
THE UI SYSTEM STAND IN THE WAY
OF SUPPORTING WORKERS AND THEIR
COMMUNITIES DURING THEIR TIME OF
NEED. STRIKING WORKERS HAVE
EARNED THESE UI BENEFITS AND
IT'S TIME THAT WE GIVE IT TO
THEM. THANK YOU. AND I'M PROUD
TO CO AUTHOR THIS MEASURE AND
URGE YOUR SUPPORT ON SB 7 99.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SALLY ACELA,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL, WHILE
EVERY WORKER CERTAINLY HAS A
RIGHT TO STRIKE YOU DON'T HAVE A
RIGHT. TO HAVE THE TAXPAYERS
SUBSIDIZE YOUR STRIKE. UM NOT
ONLY DO WE NOT HAVE THE MONEY,
THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE FUND
IS IN THE HOLE BY 18 BILLION.
WHICH IS GOING TO BE PUT ON
SMALL BUSINESSES ACROSS THE
STATE TO REPAY. THIS IS JUST
ADDING TO THAT DEBT. AH BUT IT
ALSO VIOLATES THE FEDERAL LAW.
FEDERAL LAW SAYS YOU CAN ONLY
PAY OUT THE UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS WHEN WORKERS ARE READY,
WILLING AND ABLE TO WORK. THAT
DOES NOT MEET THE DEFINITION OF
A STRIKING WORKER. SO BYPASSING
THIS. YOU'RE GOING TO BE
JEOPARDIZING OUR FEDERAL FUNDING
FOR THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
FUND, WHICH WE DESPERATELY NEED.
ALSO JUST THINK IT'S NOT FAIR.
UH UM, IF YOU HAVE A STRIKE THAT
IS DESIGNED TO PUT ECONOMIC
PRESSURE ON THE EMPLOYER AND I
THINK SOMETIMES THE ONLY WAY YOU
CAN GET A TRUE COMPROMISE IS
WHEN THERE'S ECONOMIC PRESSURES
ON BOTH SIDES. TO GET THEM TO
THE TO THE TABLE TO BOTH
COMPROMISE AND NEGOTIATE. BY
DOING THIS. WE'RE GIVING ONE
SIDE AN ADVANTAGE. YOU'RE
SUBSIDIZING WITH TAX DOLLARS.
THE LABOR SIDE. NOW MAYBE
THERE'S OTHER LABOR UNIONS THAT
WANT TO HELP THEM. THEY HAVE
PLENTY OF MONEY. AND WE KNOW
THAT BECAUSE THEY GIVE IT TO YOU
GUYS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THEY
DO. SO IF THEY WANT TO SUBSIDIZE
GO TO THE LABOR BORDER. MADAM
PROTEIN. MY COLLEAGUE FROM
CORONA KNOWS VERY WELL HOUSE
RULE 108.1. STATES THAT HE
CANNOT DISPARAGE MEMBERS OR
THEIR INTENTIONS OF THIS BODY BY
CALLING OUT MEMBERS DIRECTLY IN
SUCH A DISPARAGING WAY. I ASKED
THAT HE BE ADMONISHED AND
REMINDED TO KEEP HIS COMMENTS TO
THE CONTENT OF THE BILL. POINT
WELL TAKEN. I DIDN'T DISPARAGE
ANYONE JUST STATING A FACT. BUT
THE POINT IS, THERE'S PLENTY OF
MONEY THAT OTHER LABOR UNIONS
HAVE, AND THEY SHOULD STEP IN TO
HELP THEIR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
ON THE STRIKE FORCE. I DON'T
THINK THAT TAXPAYERS SHOULD SO
FOR THAT REASON I WILL BE
OPPOSING THIS, BUT I THINK WE
ALL SYMPATHIZE WITH CALIFORNIA
WORKERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO
LIVE IN A STATE THAT'S SO
UNAFFORDABLE. AND WE'D ARGUE
THERE'S A LOT OF POLICIES WE CAN
LOOK AT AS TO WHY THAT IS SO
WITH THAT. I RESPECTFULLY
OPPOSED. THANK YOU. I SUDDENLY
REMEMBER CHOLERA YOU WERE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF SB 7 99 AS A
PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR, A BILL THAT
WOULD PROVIDE A LIFELINE TO
THOSE WORKERS WHO FOR NO FAULT
OF THEIR OWN, MUST ASSERT THEIR
RIGHT TO STRIKE. LET'S BE CLEAR.
THE RIGHT TO STRIKE IS NOT
SOMETHING THAT UNION MEMBERS
TAKE LIGHTLY IS ONLY DONE AS A
LAST RESORT WHEN LENGTHY GOOD
FAITH NEGOTIATIONS WITH
MANAGEMENT BECOME UNPRODUCTIVE
TO ACHIEVING A FAIR CONTRACT,
MOST CONTRACT DISPUTES ARE
SETTLED BEFORE IT STRIKE HAS
EVER NEEDED. BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
WE HAVE SEEN PART TOO OFTEN. THE
ANTI UNION TACTICS HAVE NOT
COMING TO THE TABLE IN GOOD
FAITH AND FORCING WORKERS TO
FOREGO PAY. DURING A STRIKE,
DEPLETING SAVINGS AND
ACCUMULATING DEBT. SB 7 99
RIGHTLY RECOGNIZES THIS POWER
IMBALANCE A CORPORATION CAN
WIELD. BY RUNNING OUT THE CLOCK
AND STARVING STRIKING WORKERS IN
ORDER TO GIVE UP ON THEIR
DEMANDS FOR BETTER WAGES AND
BENEFITS, WORKING EDITIONS AND
JOB SECURITY INTERESTS. ADJUST
THERE'S A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
BETWEEN A CORPORATION. FACING
ECONOMIC PRESSURES. AND AN
INDIVIDUAL WORKER THAT'S TRYING
TO SURVIVE AND PUT FOOD ON THE
TABLE IS INSULTING. WE SHOULD
NEVER HAVE WORKERS HAVE TO MAKE
THAT CHOICE OF STANDING UP FOR
THEIR RIGHTS STANDING UP FOR
THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS,
STANDING UP FOR BETTER WAGES AND
FOR DIGNITY ON THE JOB. AND
HAVING TO ACTUALLY HAVE SOME
BEAR SUBSTANCE AT THE SUSTENANCE
TO PROTECT AND TAKE CARE OF
THEIR FAMILIES. NOW, MORE THAN
EVER, WE'RE SEEING THIS STRATEGY
PLAY OUT WITH THOUSANDS OF
WORKERS ON STRIKE. WORKERS IN
THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY,
HOSPITALITY WORKERS, HEALTHCARE
WORKERS AND OTHERS WITH
PROLONGED DISPUTES THAT PUTS AT
RISK NOT ONLY THE LIVELIHOOD OF
WORKERS BUT ALSO HAS A NEGATIVE
IMPACT ON LOCAL ECONOMIES. CHAIR
OF THE LABOR COMMITTEE ALWAYS
STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE
WORKERS ON THE PICKET LINE. BUT
AS THE 7 99 IT'S SOMETHING THAT
WE HAVE THE DIRECT POWER OVER TO
PROVIDE SOME RELIEF THROUGH OUR
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE THAT I
HAVE WORKERS PAY INTO. SO THAT
THOSE WORKERS ARE NOT UNFAIRLY
BURDEN WITH FINANCIAL HARDSHIP.
FOR STANDING UP FOR THEMSELVES
AND THEIR FAMILIES. RESPECTFULLY
ASKED ME, I VOTE. I SUDDENLY
REMEMBER WENDY CARILLO, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS I RISE AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR OF SB 7 99 TO
ENSURE THAT STRIKING WORKERS
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE
UI BENEFITS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT. I REPRESENT A
DISTRICT THAT HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLY HARD HIT BY THE
STRIKES. THESE ARE HARDWORKING
INDIVIDUALS ACROSS MANY
INDUSTRIES, WHETHER THERE
WRITERS OR A HOTEL WORKERS OR
HEALTH WORKERS, AND THIS IS
ACTUALLY VERY IMPORTANT TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AS WE OFTEN
SPEAK ABOUT LEADING THE WAY
ACROSS THE NATION. ACTUALLY
WE'RE NOT NEW YORK AND NEW
JERSEY HAVE ALREADY PASSED
LEGISLATION THAT ALLOWS FOR
STRIKING WORKERS TO BE ABLE TO
RECEIVE BENEFITS. IN UH, NEW
YORK. STRIKING WORKERS ARE
ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE $504 A WEEK
AND THEN NEW JERSEY THEY'RE
ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE UP TO $830 A
WEEK WHEN THERE'S A STRIKE, AND
I BELIEVE THAT IT IS ABOUT TIME
THAT CALIFORNIA ENSURES THAT ITS
STRIKING WORKFORCE HAS AN
ABILITY TO PAY THEIR RENT. PUT
FOOD ON THE TABLE, SUSTAIN THEIR
FAMILIES AND BE ABLE TO LIVE
WITH DIGNITY WE CAN AND SHOULD
BE DOING A LOT MORE. AND WITH
THAT, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AND
I VOTE. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WILSON, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS. I RISE IN
SUPPORT OF SB 799 AFTER THOROUGH
DILIGENCE. I'M LOOKING AT THIS
PARTICULAR BILL. I DON'T RISE
LIGHTLY. UM BECAUSE I HAVE
SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND THE
FACT THAT IT IS 18 BILLION
UNFUNDED AND THAT IT IS
SOMETHING THAT BUSINESSES PAY
INTO. NOT WORKERS. AND I THINK
THAT'S SOMETHING WE SHOULD LOOK
AT IN TERMS OF HOW DO WE FUND
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE? I DON'T
BELIEVE IT'S AN EARNED RIGHT OF
THE WORKER, BUT IT IS A RIGHT OF
THE WORKER TO STRIKE. SO IF
WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS, WE SHOULD
ALSO LOOK AT THOSE WORKERS WHO
LEAVE THEIR JOBS VOLUNTARILY
BECAUSE OF SUCH UNTENABLE
SITUATIONS. THEY DON'T GET TO DO
U I BENEFITS AND WE'VE SEEN THAT
PROBLEMATIC OVER AND WE'VE SEEN
THAT BE A PROBLEM OVER AND OVER
AGAIN. SO THIS IS THE START OF
THE REFORM. BUT I HOPE THAT AS
LEGISLATORS THAT WE LOOK AT YOU,
I AND IN THIS NEXT SESSION OR
THE WHEN WE COME BACK, LOOK AT
OTHER BILLS AND WAIT TO WHERE
YOU FORM BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THIS ISSUE OF IT BEING
UNDERFUNDED. WE HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THIS ISSUE OF WHO IT
ENCOMPASSES. IF WE'RE
ENCOMPASSING STRIKER WORKERS, WE
NEED TO THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO
VOLUNTARY LEAVE THEIR JOB
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO NOT BECAUSE
THEY'RE FIRED, BUT BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO, BECAUSE IT'S UNTENABLE
SITUATION. BUT I'LL SUPPORT THIS
TODAY AND I ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO
DO SO AS WELL. WITH THE THOUGHT
THAT NEXT NEXT YEAR WHEN WE COME
BACK THERE NEEDS TO BE
ADDITIONAL REFORMS. WE CAN'T
LEAVE IT HERE. THANK YOU.
MAJORITY LEADER BRIAN, YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. COLLEAGUES. I RISE IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF SB 7 99. I
SPENT MY ENTIRE SUMMER WAS
STRIKING WORKERS. SANITATION
WORKERS, HOTEL WORKERS, WRITERS,
DIRECTORS CREATIVES. ALL ACROSS
MY DISTRICT ALL ACROSS LOS
ANGELES. THIS DOESN'T CHANGE THE
NEED TO WORK OR NEED TO SEEK OUT
WORK REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE
NEEDED. TO ACCESS UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS. IN FACT, MANY WORKERS
ARE FINDING SIDE HUSTLES IN
AREAS OUTSIDE OF THEIR
PROFESSION BECAUSE THEY ARE AN
ACTIVE NEGOTIATIONS WITH AN
UNWILLING PARTNER. AND WHEN I
SAY UNWILLING, I MEAN OUTRIGHT
HOSTILE, WE WOULD NOT BE IN THIS
SITUATION IF THESE WERE GOOD
FAITH NEGOTIATIONS. BUT THEY
AREN'T GOOD FAITH. WE HAVE ONE
ACTOR THAT HAS OPENLY SAID, AND
SOME OF THESE NEGOTIATIONS WE
CAN GO UNTIL THEY ARE ON HOUSED.
WE CAN STARVE THEM. WE HAVE ALL
THE TIME IN THE WORLD. WE HAVE
ALL OF THE LEVERAGE AND
EVENTUALLY THEIR BASIC NEEDS
WILL RUN SO LOW THEY WILL HAVE
TO COME CRAWLING BACK. THAT IS A
SHAME. THAT'S UNCONSCIONABLE.
THAT'S A MORAL WE'VE BEEN CALLED
TO PROVIDE SOME RELIEF. WE'VE
BEEN CALLED TO TAKE DIRECT
ACTION TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE
WORKERS FEEL SEEN AND HEARD IN
THIS INSTITUTION. THIS
LEGISLATION IS COMING OUT OF AN
URGENT NEED ACROSS OUR STATE. IT
CAME TO US IN A RUSH, LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE SENATE, GOING
BACK AND LOOKING AT IT AND DOING
A THOUGHTFUL JOB IN MAKING SURE
WE GET IT RIGHT. BUT I STRONGLY
I STRONGLY REQUEST YOUR I VOTE
TODAY. SUDDENLY MEMBER GIBSON,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, MADAM SPEAKER MEMBERS
. UH CERTAINLY I WAS NOT POISED
OR POSITION TO SPEAK ON THIS
MEASURE TODAY, BUT I WANT TO
THANK THE AUTHOR SENATOR
PORTANTINO AND ALSO THINK, UM,
THE AUTHOR FROM THE FLOOR JOCKEY
FROM PASADENA. UM AS WE'VE
DEBATED THIS ISSUE ON THE FLOOR
IT REMINDED ME OF A TIME. IN MY
FAMILY'S LIFE. DO YOU SEE? MY
FATHER WAS A TRUCK DRIVER. HE
AND MY MOTHER BOTH HAD A HIGH
SCHOOL EDUCATION. MY FATHER AND
MOTHER CAME TO CALIFORNIA FROM
TEXAS AND ELOPED. SOMEONE TOLD
HIM ABOUT A JOB AT THE PACIFIC
RAILROAD. HE TOOK THAT JOB, AND
THEN SOMEONE TOLD HIM ABOUT A
TRUCK DRIVING JOB. HE WAS ON
THAT TRUCK DRIVING JOB FOR 10
YEARS BEFORE HE REALIZED THAT
THERE WAS A BETTER WAY. HE TOOK
ABOUT 60 MEN OUT ON STRIKE. NO
UNION. I SAW 11 DAYS. MY FAMILY,
THE FINANCIAL STRESS THAT WE
WENT THROUGH WHEN I WAS GROWING
UP. I SAW THE LIGHTS GET CUT
OFF. AND BECAUSE WE I GREW UP IN
A VILLAGE. IN WATTS. UH SOME OF
YOU MAY THINK THIS IS CRAZY, BUT
OUR NEIGHBORS WE DREW. WE
ACTUALLY HAD AN EXTENSION CORD
TO OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE IN ORDER
TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. TO KEEP
THE REFRIGERATOR. AND THERE WERE
AND THE FREEZER GOING. I SAW A
TOUGH TIME. UM IN OUR HOUSEHOLD.
AH WE'RE STRUGGLING IN THOSE
DAYS TO COME. NOT KNOWING HOW MY
PARENTS WERE GOOD WAS GOING TO
ACTUALLY PAY THE RENT BEFORE
THEY BE BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY
BOUGHT A HOME. UM MY SISTERS AND
MYSELF WENT TO SCHOOL. UM YOU
KNOW WHEN OTHER KIDS WERE
HAVING, YOU KNOW, PAID FOR LUNCH
. WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO
BUY LUNCH, BUT I SAW A TOUGH
TIME. AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT
WHAT WORKERS NOW GO THROUGH IN
CALIFORNIA UM, STRUGGLING DURING
A TIME WHEN THEY'RE ON STRIKE. I
WAS OUT ON THE PICKET LINE WITH
THE RIDERS, UM AND THE ACTORS.
UM HERE RECENTLY, UM, IS A TOUGH
TIME AND IT'S A SCARY TIME. UM
AND I THINK THAT THIS IS WHERE
WE NEED TO BE DOING AND I HEARD
THE ARGUMENT OF $18 BILLION IN
TERMS OF THE YOU KNOW, UNFUNDED
. I GET THAT. BUT GUESS WHAT
WE'VE HAD TOUGH TIMES AND TOUGH
SITUATIONS THAT WE HAD TO
ADDRESS BEFORE THIS BODY BEFORE
AND GUESS WHAT WE RISE TO THE
OCCASION. BECAUSE WE PUT WE HAVE
WE HAVE SOME BRILLIANT MINDS IN
THIS PLACE AND WE FIND SOLUTIONS
TO TOUGH SITUATIONS. AND SO AS
WE FIND THESE TOUGH SITUATION,
THESE TOUGH SITUATIONS, UM WE
HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THOSE WHO
ARE THE MOST VULNERABLE. IT'S
BEEN SAID THAT CALIFORNIA IS AN
EXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE. THERE
IS NO ONE WOULD DISAGREE WITH
THAT. IT IS BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE
YOURSELVES THOSE OF YOU IN THIS
ROOM ON THIS FLOOR? NOT KNOWING
WHEN YOUR YOUR NEXT PAYCHECK
WILL COME FROM. NOT KNOWING
WHETHER YOU'RE GOING TO PAY THE
MORTGAGE TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON,
OR EVEN HAVE MONEY FOR YOUR KIDS
TO GO TO SCHOOL AND BUY FOOD OR
WHATEVER. IT IS A DARK TIME AND
SO IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
STAND UP AND HELP THOSE WHO ARE
IN NEED. MY COLLEAGUE FROM
PASADENA ALREADY SAID THAT IT'S
NOT GOING TO BE AN OVERWHELMING
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE'RE GOING
TO SPEND. YES, WE WILL HAVE TO
DO WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS AND
DEAL WITH IT, BUT IT'S OUR JOB
TO DO THAT. AND SO I THINK THIS
IS A THOUGHTFUL PIECE OF
LEGISLATION. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M
A CO AUTHOR OR NOT, BUT I FELT
IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO STAY
ON THIS FLOOR. AND TALK ABOUT
ONE WHAT MY FAMILY WENT THROUGH,
BUT ALSO MIRROR WHAT PEOPLE ARE
GOING THROUGH TODAY, STRUGGLING
TO MAKE ENDS MEET, RAISING THEIR
VOICES ABOUT DECENT WAGES AND
BENEFITS. I RESPECTFULLY ASKED
FOR A STRONG I VOTE. SOMEBODY
REMEMBER HOLDEN, WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? WELL, FIRST OF ALL,
I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES
WHO HAVE RAISED THEIR MIX TO
ADDRESS THIS VERY IMPORTANT
ISSUE. CLEARLY WE DID NOT. COME
HERE IN JANUARY WITH THIS AS AN
ISSUE THAT WE KNEW WE WOULD DEAL
WITH. BUT HERE WE ARE. NOR DID
WE COME BACK IN 2020 WITH THE
EXPECTATION OF A PANDEMIC THAT
WOULD PUT INCREDIBLE PRESSURE ON
THE ABILITY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
THE PEOPLE. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER
IN A SERIES OF ON UNFORESEEN.
INCIDENTS THAT HAVE IMPACTED US.
BUT WE STILL CAN'T TURN OUR I
AWAY FROM THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE ON THE VERGE MANY CASES.
OF HOMELESSNESS. WE SPENT A LOT
OF TIME MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE
AHEAD OF THE CURVE OR TRYING TO
BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE TO ADDRESS
HOW PEOPLE ARE IN THE STATE OF
UNHEALTHY CONDITIONS. AND HOW DO
WE ADDRESS THEM BEFORE THEY GET
TO THAT PLACE? THIS IS A SMALL
UNIVERSE OF PEOPLE THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT. AND THAT'S WHY
THE IMPACT ON THE FUN IS IT
GOING TO BE AS GREAT AS SOME
WOULD, UH, WOULD SAY DOESN'T
MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET
OUR ARMS AROUND THIS ISSUE GOING
FORWARD. WE HAVE BEFORE ANOTHER
ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN MOUNTAINS
TO CLIMB. WE CLIMB THEM. BUT
DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT
THAT WE'RE IN THIS POSITION
BECAUSE SO MANY HAVE BEEN IN
NEGOTIATIONS FOR A WHILE NOW.
THEY DIDN'T JUST SHOW UP AT THE
STUDIO. THEY DIDN'T SHOW UP AT
THEIR WORKPLACE AND SAID, YOU
KNOW WHAT? I DON'T LIKE WHAT?
I'M BEING PAID. I JUST THINK WE
WANT TO STRIKE. THEY WENT
THROUGH A PROCESS. THEY WENT
THROUGH A PROCESS OF NEGOTIATING
. IT BECAME CLEAR AND EVIDENT
THAT THEY WEREN'T GETTING
ANYWHERE. AND EVEN AFTER
CONTINUOUS EFFORTS, THE PROCESS
SUGGESTS THAT EVERYONE COMES
TOGETHER AND DECIDES SHOULD WE
STRIKE IT TAKES GREAT COURAGE TO
GET TO THAT POINT. THERE'S A LOT
ON THE LINE. THEY COULD VERY
EASILY SAY, WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS
IS I DON'T KNOW THIS IS GOING TO
BE KIND OF TOUGH ON MY FAMILY. I
GUESS I'LL JUST TAKE THE CRUMBS
AND GO HOME. BUT WHAT DOES THAT
ACCOMPLISH IN THE END? THIS IS
ABOUT FAIR NEGOTIATIONS, AND TO
THE EXTENT THAT PROCESS IS BEING
USED TO APPOINT, UNDERMINE THE
ABILITY FOR THE WORKERS TO GET A
FAIR HEARING AND TO BE ABLE TO
GET RESOLUTION AT THE TABLE HAS
NOW LED TO THIS PLACE. WE HAVE
TO PAY ATTENTION, AND I
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THIS
LEGISLATIVE BODY NOT JUST HERE
IN THE ASSEMBLY, BUT IN THE
SENATE AND OUR GOVERNOR ARE
PAYING ATTENTION. AND THIS BILL
BEFORE US IS NOT PERFECT. 11
PLUS YEARS. I'VE YET TO FIND A
PERFECT BILL. BUT WHAT IT IS
DOING IS BEING COGNIZANT AND
AWARE OF REAL LIFE SITUATIONS OF
PEOPLE THAT WE CAN MEET HIM AT A
POINT IN TIME THAT MAY BE ABLE
TO STEM THE TIDE TO THE
NEGOTIATIONS CAN RESUME, AND
THEN THEY CAN GET TO A FAIR
OUTCOME FOR EVERYONE. 799
PROVIDES THAT OPPORTUNITY. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE
OPEN THE ROLE. PHOTO DESIRE TO

ON BEHALF OF SENATOR PORTANTINO
. IT'S SPONSORED BY OUR ATTORNEY
GENERAL AS WELL AS THE GOVERNOR
OF CALIFORNIA AFTER MUCH THOUGHT
AND DELIBERATION IN LIGHT OF THE
SUPREME COURT DECISION, WE CAME
TO A CONSENSUS THAT WE COULD AND
OUGHT TO DO MORE REGULATING.
CONCEALED WEAPON PERMITS AND THE
RULES OF PLAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA. THIS MEASURE DOES A
FEW THINGS STRENGTHENS EXISTING
LAW BY ENSURING THAT THOSE
CARING FIREARMS ARE RESPONSIBLE
, LIABLE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS
WHO DON'T POSE A DANGER TO
THEMSELVES OR TO OTHERS PROTECTS
OUR COMMUNITIES. OUR KIDS FROM
GUN VIOLENCE BY SETTING MINIMUM
ADRIAN CARTON REQUIREMENTS AT 21
FOR CCW, AS OPPOSED TO 18.
ADVANCES STRONGER TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS, WHICH I WILL GET
TO IN A MOMENT. LASTLY IT'S
SAFEGUARDS THE PUBLIC BY
IDENTIFYING CERTAIN SENSITIVE
PUBLIC PLACES WHERE GUNS CANNOT
BE CARRIED. THINK OF
ENTERTAINMENT ZONES NEXT TO A
SPORTING EVENTS. TIMES SQUARE
THERE EXAMPLES LIKE THIS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, THIS YOU
KNOW FOR THOSE WHO ARE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS
IN THE AFTERMATH SETS A DUE
PROCESS STANDARD WILL WHERE
ANYBODY WHO IS, UM, DENIED THEIR
OPPORTUNITY CAN OBJECT AND GO
THROUGH A PROCESS TO RECEIVE A
HEARING BEFORE A JUDGE. UM TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THEIR
VOICES HEARD. WE THINK THAT THIS
MEASURE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE
SUPREME COURT'S DECISION UNDER
BRUIN. WE'RE ONLY LAW ABIDING
AND RESPONSIBLE. RESPONSIBLE
APPLICANTS GO FORWARD WITH CCW
LICENSES AS FAR AS BEING
AUTHORIZED THEM BY THEIR LOCAL
JURISDICTION. THERE'S AMPLE
EVIDENCE THAT SHOWS MORE GUNS
DON'T MAKE COMMUNITIES SAFER. WE
DO KNOW THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO DO
GO THROUGH THE PROPER VETTING
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES AND THE COMMUNITY,
SUCH AS AFTER THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND RETIRED
OFFICERS OF THE LAW FOR THOSE OF
YOU THAT, UM I THINK THAT
EVERYBODY WITH A LICENSE IS
VETTED AND NOBODY SLIPS THROUGH
THE CRACKS. LET ME TELL YOU A
STORY THAT I TOLD MY COLLEAGUES
A COUPLE YEARS AGO. SOME OF THE
NEWER MEMBERS MAY NOT KNOW I'VE
WORKED ON THIS ISSUE FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS. IT WAS A HOT
ISSUE HERE LOCALLY IN OUR
COUNTY, WITH CCW LICENSES. ABOUT
SIX YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A
GENTLEMAN WHO SLIPPED THROUGH
THE CRACKS. AND THERE WASN'T
PROPER VETTING BY OUR SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT. THEY DIDN'T DO A
PROPER BACKGROUND CHECK WASN'T
PROPER TRAINING. HE HOLED UP
HERE IN THE HYATT HOTEL FOR TWO
DAYS. HE HAD A LONG A LONG GUN.
UM COUPLE 100 ROUNDS OF
AMMUNITION AND ARSENAL ON HIS
BED. HE SLIPPED AWAY FOR
BREAKFAST. THE HOUSEKEEPING WENT
IN TO CHECK ON THE ROOM BECAUSE
THEY HAD HEARD IT WAS GOING ON.
THEY HAD UNCOVERED ALL THIS
STUFF ON HIS BED, LITERALLY 100
YARDS FROM THE CAPITAL. HE HAD
WRITTEN A MANIFESTO THAT HE
WANTED TO BRING PAIN. AND
VIOLENCE TO THE STATE CAPITAL.
LITERALLY RIGHT ACROSS THE
STREET. SO PEOPLE DO SLIP
THROUGH THE CRACKS. AND THIS IS
GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS
AMPLE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC
SAFETY OFFICIALS TO VET
INDIVIDUALS GETTING A RIGHT. UM
UH, NOT NECESSARILY ALWAYS A
PRIVILEGE TO CARRY A CONCEALED
WEAPON ON THE STREETS OF
CALIFORNIA WITH THAT MEMBERS ARE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOE PATTERSON
YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE IN OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL. UM I'M VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE AND THE
MAJORITY OF GUN VIOLENCE
COMMITTED IN CALIFORNIA. THE
VAST MAJORITY OF GUN VIOLENCE IS
NOT BY CCW HOLDERS. IN FACT,
THAT'S A VERY, VERY, VERY SMALL
FRACTION. BUT WE PROPOSED
LEGISLATION IN THIS BODY TO
ACTUALLY CRIMINALIZE CRIMINALS
WHO HAVE GUNS. AND THAT BILL,
UNFORTUNATELY, COULDN'T EVEN GET
OUT OF COMMITTEE. BUT WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE IS CRIMINALIZE
CCW HOLDERS AND HAVE TO PUT UP A
SIGN ON BUSINESSES THAT SAY GUNS
ARE PERMITTED HERE. SO WE'RE
BASICALLY ASKING BUSINESSES TO
PUT. PUN INTENDED A TARGET ON
THEIR BUSINESS TO SAY, HEY, YOU
CAN CARRY GUNS IN OUR BUSINESS.
AND I THINK IT'S WRONG TO
CRIMINALIZE LAWFUL ABIDED PEOPLE
. WE SHOULD BE CRIMINALIZING
CRIMINALS, NOT LAW ABIDING
PEOPLE WITH THAT. I ASKED FOR A
NO VOTE. THANK YOU SUDDENLY
REMEMBER, SIMILARLY, SOMEBODY
REMEMBERS SELLING YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. HERE WE GO AGAIN.
ATTACKING LAW ABIDING AMERICANS.
EXERCISING THEIR SECOND
AMENDMENT RIGHTS. WHAT WE KNOW
IS THAT CCW HOLDERS ARE SOME OF
THE MOST SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE
GUN OWNERS IN PUBLIC. AND ONE
THERE IS A ACTIVE SHOOTING
SITUATION GOING ON. THE BEST
THING THAT YOU COULD HAVE IS A
CONCEALED CARRY HOLDER IN THAT
VICINITY TO STOP A SHOOTING IN
PROGRESS. WE'VE SEEN THAT OVER
AND OVER THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY
THAT WHEN YOU HAVE LAW ABIDING
SYSTEM AS CITIZENS WHO ARE ARMED
THEY ARE EFFECTIVE. STOPPING
CRIMINALS USING GUNS TO HURT,
ASSAULT AND KILL INNOCENT
PEOPLE. BY DISARMING LEGAL
CITIZENS. YOU'RE MAKING OUR
SOCIETY LESS SAFE. YOU'RE
MAKING. PUBLIC AREAS MORE
DANGEROUS. THERE IS NO. THERE'S
NO COMMON SENSE BEHIND THIS BILL
. IT'S SIMPLY AN ATTACK ON OUR
SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS. WHAT'S
MORE DANGEROUS ABOUT THIS BILL
IS IT'S GOING TO APPLY TO POLICE
OFFICERS. POLICE OFFICERS WHO
CARRY OFF DUTY. WILL BE
PROHIBITED. UNDER THIS BILL FROM
CARRYING THEIR THEIR THEIR
WEAPON. WE SHOULD WANT POLICE
OFFICERS CARRYING OFF DUTY AGAIN
TO STOP AN ACTIVE DUTY SITUATION
. THIS LAW MAKES NO SENSE. IN
OMEGA'S LESS SAFE. BUT LET'S
TALK ABOUT THE BILLS THAT WILL
MAKE US SAFER. I HAD A BILL TO
REINSTATE THE FIREARM
ENHANCEMENT. IT SAYS IF YOU USE
A GUN TO COMMIT A FELONY, YOU GO
TO PRISON FOR 10 YEARS, AND IF
YOU HURT SOMEONE YOU GO TO
PRISON FOR 20 YEARS OR MORE. AND
THAT DIDN'T EVEN GET OUT OF
COMMITTEE. SO IF WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE, YOU WANT TO
BE SERIOUS ABOUT GUN VIOLENCE IS
TALK ABOUT IT, BUT LET'S STOP
PRETENDING THAT WE CARE ABOUT
GUN VIOLENCE. AND PER AND LET'S
SAY WITH THIS BILL REALLY IS,
IT'S AN ATTACK ON THE SECOND
AMENDMENT. I'LL BE OPPOSING
THIS. AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE
SUPREME COURT STRIKING THIS BILL
DOWN AS WELL. THANK YOU.
REMEMBER GALLAGHER, YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. YOU KNOW
THIS? THIS BILL PUTS THE FOCUS
ON THE WRONG PEOPLE. IT'S
FOCUSED ON LAW OF AUDIENCE
CITIZENS WHO ARE NOT COMMITTING
CRIMES WHO ARE NOT USING GUNS TO
HURT PEOPLE IN THIS STATE. IN
FACT, IN THE LAST 10 YEARS,
THERE'S ONLY BEEN ONE HOMICIDE
INVOLVING A CCW HOLDER WON IN
THE LAST 10 YEARS. I AGREE WITH
MY COLLEAGUE FROM SACRAMENTO.
THERE ARE PEOPLE SLIPPING
THROUGH THE CRACKS. YOU KNOW WHO
THEY ARE? SMILEY MARTIN, WHO WAS
RELEASED FROM PRISON ONLY
SERVING FOUR YEARS OF A 10 YEAR
SENTENCE BECAUSE OF EMERGENCY
REGULATIONS. UNDER PROP 57. THAT
ALLOWED FOR THE EARLY RELEASE OF
SOMEONE WHO IS NOT READY TO GO
BACK INTO SOCIETY. HE ENDED UP
SHOOTING UP THE STREETS BLOCKS
FROM THIS CAPITAL AND KILLING
PEOPLE ON THE STREETS OF
SACRAMENTO. THAT'S A BIG
LOOPHOLE THAT WE SHOULD BE
CLOSING. AND WE SHOULD SAY, STOP
RELEASING PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT
READY TO COME BACK INTO SOCIETY
WHO ARE BEING RELEASED LONG
BEFORE THEIR SENTENCES UP. WHO
ARE VIOLENT WHO HAVE A HISTORY
OF VIOLENCE WHO HAVE A HISTORY
OF HAVING WEAPONS ARE NOT
SUPPOSED TO HAVE HISTORY OF
MODIFYING THOSE WEAPONS SO
THEY'RE MORE DEADLY. WHY AREN'T
WE GOING AFTER THAT AND CLOSING
THAT LOOPHOLE? MY COLLEAGUE
POINTED OUT A GREAT POINT. WE'VE
HAD BILLS THAT ACTUALLY FOCUS ON
GUN CRIMES. IF SOMEONE IS USING
A GUN IN THE COMMISSION OF A
CRIME, THEY SHOULD HAVE AN
ENHANCED SENSE SENSE. BUT YOU
ALL WOULDN'T EVEN LET IT HAVE A
HEARING. YOU WOULDN'T EVEN LET
IT MOVE FORWARD. SO THAT WE
COULD ACTUALLY VOTE ON AND ON ON
THIS FLOOR. MY OTHER COLLEAGUE
ACTUALLY HAD A GREAT BILL THAT
MADE THE CONNECTION TO DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE. MY COLLEAGUE FROM
ROCKLAND. THERE WAS HIGHLIGHTED
IN THE SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
IS THIS WAS A GREAT MEASURE
BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE SEEN FROM A
LOT OF GUN CRIMES. PEOPLE KILLED
USING GUNS. THERE'S A STRONG
CONNECTION WITH THOSE WHO HAVE
COMMITTED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. WE
HAD THAT BILL. IT DIDN'T GET OUT
OF PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.
YOU'RE NOT SERIOUS. ABOUT
GETTING AFTER GUN CRIME. IF
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PASS THESE
MEASURES, AND INSTEAD YOU'RE
GOING TO FOCUS ON THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE DEMONSTRATIVELY, NOT THE
PROBLEM. THE MASS SHOOTINGS THAT
WE'VE SEEN IN THIS STATE 44 YEAR
RIGHT NOW, ACCORDING TO PP, I
SEE THEY'RE NOT PEOPLE WITH CCW
S. MY COLLEAGUE ALSO JUST
POINTED OUT AN IGNORANT COMMENT
TALKING ABOUT A LONG RIFLE. YOU
CAN'T GET A CCW FOR A LONG
RIFLE. IT'S NOT CONCEALABLE. IT
WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED. SO WE'RE
NOT TALKING ABOUT CCW HOLDERS
WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VIOLENT
PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTING CRIMES
ON OUR STREET. HERE'S ANOTHER
ONE. WE'VE GOT OVER 10,000
PEOPLE RIGHT NOW THAT WE KNOW OF
WHO ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE
WEAPONS THERE ON THE PROHIBITED
PERSONS LIST AT THE DOJ. THEY
HAVEN'T BEEN DISARMED. WE
HAVEN'T DISARMED HIM. SO INSTEAD
OF ACTUALLY GOING AFTER THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE THE RISK, WHO ARE
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMITTING
CRIMES WHO HAVE DONE IT BEFORE?
YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER LAW
ABIDING PEOPLE? NOT ONLY IS IT
UNCONSTITUTIONAL, IT'S UNJUST.
AND YOU'RE GONNA MAKE IT
VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO
CARRY ANYWHERE IN THIS STATE
BECAUSE YOU PUT SO MANY
EXCEPTIONS, SO MANY PLACES THAT
YOU CAN'T CARRY. WE'RE PUNISHING
LAW ABIDING PEOPLE WHO ARE
SIMPLY EXERCISING THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND DOING
NOTHING ABOUT THE CRIMINALS WHO
CONTINUE TO VICTIMIZE PEOPLE
EACH DAY IN THIS STATE. IT'S
SICK. DON'T LECTURE ME ABOUT GUN
CONTROL AND GUN VIOLENCE IF
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARE THE
REAL PROBLEM. THEY CONTINUE TO
GO AFTER LAW ABIDING CITIZENS.
IT'S WRONG AND WE SHOULD STOP IT
TODAY. BY VOTING NO AND PASSING
GOOD MEASURES THAT ACTUALLY GO
AFTER THE PEOPLE THAT ARE
COMMITTING THESE CRIMES. THANK
YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S TOWER, CAN
YOU READ RECOGNIZED? THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB TWO AND I
RISE IN PART TWO. CLARIFY
SOMETHING WE HEARD FROM OUR
COLLEAGUE FROM CORONA, WHICH WAS
BLATANTLY INACCURATE. WE HAVE
NOT SEEN TIME AND AGAIN THAT
MORE GUNS MAKE US SAFER. JUST
THE OPPOSITE. WE HAVE SEEN TIME
AND AGAIN THAT MORE GUNS ARE
KILLING PEOPLE DAY IN AND DAY
OUT ACROSS THIS COUNTRY, AND I
APPRECIATED OUR COLLEAGUE
POINTING OUT THAT ARE CONCEALED
CARRY LAWS THAT UP INTO THE
DECISION BY THE SUPREME COURT.
WE'RE KEEPING US SAFER. AND WE
NEED TO DO THIS BECAUSE THE
ACTIVIST SUPREME COURT TOOK
MEASURES THAT TOOK THOSE LAWS
AWAY FROM US. AND THIS IS OUR
STEP TO GET BACK TO A PLACE
WHERE WE ENSURE THAT THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE CARRYING THESE WEAPONS
OR HAVE THE AT APPROPRIATE
PERMITS AND ARE DOING SO IN THE
APPROPRIATE PLACES. THIS IS A
SENSIBLE MEASURE. I DON'T THINK
WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT THE REST
OF THE BILLS TO STOP GUN
VIOLENCE BECAUSE I THINK THE
VAST MAJORITY OF US AGREE THAT
GUN VIOLENCE AND ALL OF ITS
FORMS SHOULD BE STOPPED. BUT
THIS MEASURE IS AN IMPORTANT
PIECE OF THIS, AND IT'S NOT JUST
THE MASS SHOOTINGS THAT GET THE
HEADLINES. I WANT THAT TO BE
REALLY CLEAR IN COMMUNITIES
ACROSS THE STATE. PEOPLE ARE
DYING DAY IN AND DAY OUT FROM
GUN VIOLENCE ON THE STREETS IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND THAT
DESERVES OUR ATTENTION TO AND SO
ENSURING THAT THE GUNS ARE
PERMANENT IN THE APPROPRIATE
WAY, AS THIS BILL DOES IS A
CRITICAL STEP IN ENSURING THE
SAFETY OF CALIFORNIANS AND THE
END OF THE GUN VIOLENCE EPIDEMIC
THAT IS RAVAGING THIS NATION. I
ALSO APPRECIATE THE FOCUS ON
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS AND
ENSURING THAT INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE FACED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE
COMMITTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN
HAVE THOSE WEAPONS TAKEN AWAY. I
THINK WE'RE FACING ANOTHER
ACTIVIST SUPREME COURT DECISION
THAT WILL MAKE THOSE LAWS HAVE
TO BE REVISITED AS WELL. SO I
THINK IT'S INTERESTING TO HEAR
THEM TALK ABOUT THAT. WHEN I
KNOW THAT SAME SUPREME COURT IS
GOING TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS TO BE
PROTECTED IN THE MONTHS THAT
COME AND SO I JUST CLOSE WITH
ONE LAST INACCURACY THAT I
HEARD, WHICH WAS I WAS ASSURED
BY OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL. THAT
ENFORCEMENT OFF DUTY CAN CARRY
WEAPONS THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN
. IT IS NOT IN THIS SECTION OF
CODE. IT IS ELSEWHERE, BUT THAT
THAT WILL CONTINUE. THAT'S
SOMETHING I KNOW MANY OF US CARE
ABOUT. BUT THIS BILL DOES NOT
CHANGE THAT BECAUSE THAT HAPPENS
NOT IN THIS PIECE OF
LEGISLATION, BUT IN ANOTHER
SECTION OF CODE THAT WILL ALLOW
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR THAT
THAT TO CONTINUE SO WITH THAT I
ASKED FOR US TO CONTINUE WHAT WE
HAVE DONE WHERE WE STOOD ON THIS
FLOOR TIME AND AGAIN AND TALKED
ABOUT THOSE WHO HAVE DIED AS A
RESULT OF GUN VIOLENCE AND
ENSURE THAT DEBT THAT WE TAKE
THE STEPS WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR
COMMUNITIES THAT WE LISTENED TO
THE VICTIMS WHEN THEY ASK US TO
TAKE THESE SENSIBLE STEPS
BECAUSE SP TWO IS A SMALL STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OF MAKING
SURE THAT GUNS DO NOT GET INTO
THE HANDS OF THE WRONG PEOPLE.
BUT THAT RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR I
VOTE. SOME REMEMBER BERMAN,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF SB TWO. UM. EVERY
TIME GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION
COMES ACROSS THIS FOR
COLLEAGUES. OFTEN COLLEAGUES
FROM FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
AISLE, PROTEST AND YELL.
SOMETIMES THEY FORGET THAT
MICROPHONES ALREADY AMPLIFY
THEIR VOICES, AND THEY DON'T
HAVE TO YELL INTO THE
MICROPHONE. UM BUT THEY PROTEST
AND SAY THAT WE'RE GOING AFTER
THE WRONG PEOPLE. THESE LAWS
WON'T DO ANYTHING. AH, HOW DARE
US? AND THE REALITY IS I'VE GOT
GOOD NEWS. THE LAWS THAT WE PASS
ON THIS FOUR. THE LAWS THAT WE
PASS IN THIS BUILDING ARE
WORKING. THE DATA SHOWS
QUANTIFIABLE E THAT THE LAWS
THIS THE SAFE ON THE SMART GUN
SAFETY LAWS THAT CALIFORNIA
PASSES SAVE LIVES. AND THAT IS
WHAT WE SHOULD FOCUS ON ON THIS
FLOOR. IS SAVING LIVES AND
CALIFORNIA'S LAWS SAVE ON
AVERAGE 2000 LIVES A YEAR.
19,000 LIVES IN THE PAST DECADE,
AND THAT'S NOT BY ACCIDENT. DO
YOU WANT ME TO BACK UP THE DATA?
SOMEWHERE FOR PLEASE. STATE YOUR
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND MY
COLLEAGUE THAT IS MIKE'S ON AND
WE DON'T HAVE TO YELL. DULY
NOTED. I'D LIKE TO THANK MY
FRIEND, THE MINORITY LEADER. UM
NOT THE MINORITY LEADER. THE MY
GOOD FRIEND. BUT. IT'S NOT. IT'S
NOT CORRELATION IS CAUSATION.
THAT THE LAWS THAT WE HAVE IN
CALIFORNIA ARE SAVING LIVES, AND
THAT'S THAT SHOULD BE THE FOCUS
AND EVERY SINGLE BILL, MY
COLLEAGUES FROM ACROSS THE AISLE
YELLING SCREEN. BUT THOSE BILLS
ARE WORKING. THOSE BILLS ARE
SAVING LIVES. THE DATA SHOWS IT
THAT FAR FEWER PEOPLE DIE FROM
GUN VIOLENCE IN CALIFORNIA. THEN
ON AVERAGE IN THE UNITED STATES
AND WAY FEWER THEN RED STATES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THIS IS
ANOTHER PIECE OF SMART GUN
SAFETY LEGISLATION THAT WILL
SAVE LIVES. AND I ENCOURAGE MY
COLLEAGUES FROM ACROSS THE AISLE
TO DISPUTE. THAT CALIFORNIA'S
GUN SAFETY LAWS THAT THEY OPPOSE
EVERY SINGLE TIME. AREN'T
WORKING WHEN THE DATA CLEARLY
SHOWS 19,000 PEOPLE OVER THE
PAST DECADE 19,000 CALIFORNIANS
OVER THE PAST DECADE ARE STILL
ALIVE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE DO
HERE. SO I'M PROUD OF WHAT WE'VE
GOTTEN DONE. AND I STRONGLY URGE
YOUR SUPPORT ON SP TWO. SEE NO
FURTHER DEBATE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MCCARTHY WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE? YES PLEASE. UM YOU KNOW,
THIS IS A VERY HOT TOPIC,
TALKING ABOUT FIREARMS
LEGISLATION. AND UM, YOU KNOW,
PEOPLE FROM ALL SIDES ARE
ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINIONS. BUT
YOU KNOW, FACTS ARE FACTS. AND
OUR COLLEAGUE FROM ORINDA
ARTICULATELY THE TRUTH TO THE
SPILL THAT CURRENT OFFICERS AND
RETIRED OFFICERS ARE EXEMPT AND
CURRENT LAW DOES TO SAY SO
OTHERWISE, AS A FLAT OUT LIE
FABRICATION. AS MY COLLEAGUE
FROM MOUNTAIN VIEW JUST POINTED
OUT. BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF
LAWS IN CALIFORNIA. AND WE ARE
MUCH SAFER BECAUSE OF THAT. OUR
RESEARCH TEAM JUST UP THE ROAD
HERE AT UC DAVIS. DR. WINTER
MARK SHOWS REMEMBER GALLAGHER
STATE YOUR PARLIAMENTARY
INQUIRY. YES IS IT NOT TRUE THAT
WE HAVE A LETTER BEFORE THIS
BODY FROM POLICE OFFICERS ACROSS
THE STATE, SAYING THAT IN FACT,
THIS BILL DOES PROHIBIT THEM
FROM CARRYING WHEN THEY'RE OFF
DUTY. QUESTION. HOW MANY PLEASE?
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S I GIVE ME A
MINUTE WE WILL LOOK.
MR MCCARTHY. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
ADDRESS THIS IN YOUR CLOTHES? I
WILL CONTINUE TO CLOSE AND
ADDRESS THE QUESTION AS WELL.
YEAH THE FACTS ARE THE FACTS
THAT RESERVE OFFICERS BY WHICH
THERE ARE JUST OVER 3000, THEY
WOULD HAVE TO BE SUBJECT TO THE
LAW. OF THE LAND AND IN
CALIFORNIA, AND THIS PROPOSAL,
THE NEARLY 70,000 SWORN OFFICERS
THAT ARE UNDER POOR, ACTIVE
REFERENCE WARRANT OFFICERS,
CURRENT AND RETIREES WOULD NOT
BE SUBJECT BASED BEHIND CURRENT
LAW AS MISS AS OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM ORINDA ARTICULATES THE
BOTTOM LINE IS THIS OUR GUN LAWS
IN CALIFORNIA MAKE US SAFER. U
C. DAVIS RESEARCHER. DR WINTER
MIX SAYS THAT WE ARE 43% MORE
SAFE AND ADJACENT ADJACENT
STATES AND ACROSS THE CALIFORNIA
BECAUSE OUR GUN LAWS THESE LAWS
WORK, AND THIS LAW IS BASED UPON
A COMMON PRINCIPLE THAT I
MISSPOKE. THE FIRST TIME HAVING
A CCW ISN'T A RIGHT FOR
EVERYBODY. JUST BY WAKING UP IN
THE MORNING, IT SHOULD BE A
PRIVILEGE BASED UPON MAKING SURE
SOMEONE IS SAFE, MAKING SURE
THEY'VE GONE THROUGH PACKED
PROPER BACKGROUND CHECKS. AND
YES, MY COLLEAGUE FROM EAST
NICHOLAS, THE INDIVIDUAL DID GET
A CCW FOR A HANDGUN AND HE
SHOWED UP AT OUR HOTEL TRYING TO
ATTACK THE STATE CAPITAL WITH AN
ARSENAL OF FIREARMS AND WEAPONS
, AND SO PEOPLE DO SLIP THROUGH
THE CRACKS IN THIS, IT MAKES
SURE WE HAVE PROPER TRAINING.
FOCUSING ON WHAT'S ALLOWED IN
CALIFORNIA BY OUR SUPREME COURT
NARROWLY CRAFTED AFTER
ADDRESSING ALL OF OUR LEGAL
ISSUES THAT WE'VE ANALYZED IN
THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE

WE'RE GOING TO A FILE NUMBER

WILL READ SENATE BILL 14 BY
SENATOR GROVE AND OTHERS
INOCULATING FELONIES.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RUBIO, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT SB 14 ON BEHALF OF
SENATOR GROVE. THIS MEASURE WORK
WILL CLASSIFY SEX TRAFFICKING OF
A MINOR AS A SERIOUS CRIME,
MAKING IT A STRIKE UNDER THE
EXISTING THREE STRIKES LAW.
SENATE BILL 14 IS A BIPARTISAN
MEASURE WHICH I AND OVER 60
MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE CO
AUTHORED TO ADDRESS WHAT COULD
BE CONSIDERED THE CRIME OF OUR
TIME. HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS AMONG
THE MOST HORRIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES
ENCOUNTERED WITHIN OUR JUSTICE
SYSTEM. TRAFFICKING VICTIMS CAN
BE FORCED. TO WORK 365 DAYS A
YEAR WITHOUT PAY. VIOLENT ACTS
SUCH AS RAPE, SODOMY, BEATINGS
AND STRANGULATION ARE ENDURED,
SOMETIMES ON A DAILY BASIS.
CHILDREN AS YOUNG AS 12 HAVE
BEEN FOUND, WITH TATTOO BRANDING
ON THEIR FACE BECAUSE THEIR LIFE
IS NO LONGER THERE. OAN THE
VIOLENCE AND TORTURE ENDURED BY
THESE CHILDREN IS SO GROTESQUE,
IT IS DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.
AND SADLY, CALIFORNIA REMAINS A
MAJOR HUB TO THESE HORRIFIC
ACTS. THESE CRIMES, DESTROY
FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES AND OFTEN
DISPROPORTIONALLY IMPACT PEOPLE
OF COLOR. ACCORDING TO A 2013.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE STUDY
EXAMINING EXAMINING THE RACE OF
SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS. 40.4%
WERE BLACK. 23.9% WERE HISPANIC
AND 4.3% WERE ASIAN.
ADDITIONALLY NATIVE AMERICAN
WOMEN AND GIRLS ARE VICTIMS OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING AT A MUCH
HIGHER RATE COMPARED TO THE
OVERALL POPULATION. THE PASSING
OF SP 14 WILL SERVE TO PROTECT
FUTURE GENERATIONS BY STOPPING
PEOPLE FROM ENGAGING IN THIS
CRIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS. SB 14
IS A VICTIM PROTECTION MEASURE
AND RECENT AMENDMENTS AFFIRM
WHAT IS ALREADY IN STATUTE TO
ENSURE VICTIMS OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING ARE PROTECTED UNDER
THE LAW. A VOTE IN SUPPORT OF SB
14 WILL SEND A DIRECT MESSAGE TO
THOSE COMMITTING THE CRIMES OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING, INCLUDING
SELLING OUR INNOCENT CHILDREN
THAT CALIFORNIA WILL NO LONGER
STAND BY AND ALLOW THIS CRIMINAL
INDUSTRY TO OPERATE. WE WILL
PROTECT VICTIMS. THIS BILL HAS
ENJOYED BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE 64 CO
AUTHORS ACROSS BOTH HOUSES.
BEFORE I CLOSE. I WANT TO
PERSONALLY THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
HER TENACITY ON THIS TOPIC
THROUGH THIS LEGISLATIVE
SESSION. HER PASSION FOR
PROTECTING NOT ONLY HER
COMMUNITY, BUT EVERY DISTRICT
REPRESENTED HERE TODAY IS
EMBODIED BY THIS MEASURE. I ALSO
WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU WHO
HAVE ADVOCATED TO ENSURE THIS
MEASURE HAS REACHED THE POINT IT
IS AT TODAY. AS BEFORE. THINE IS
A TESTAMENT TO OUR SHARED
PASSION OF PROTECTING VICTIMS
FROM THESE HEINOUS CRIMES. AND
AS SUCH, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR VOTE ON SB 14. SOMEBODY
REMEMBER ALAN EASE YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE TODAY IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF US. BE 14. AS YOU
KNOW, I'M A RETIRED SERGEANT
FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND
ALSO WAS THE CRIMES AGAINST
CHILDREN'S DETECTIVE SO PRETTY
FAMILIAR WITH WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT TODAY. AS YOU GUYS AFTER.
NO I DON'T USUALLY RAISE MY
MICROPHONE TO LECTURE ON THIS ON
THIS FLOOR, HOWEVER. I MUST
STAND TO SPEAK TODAY BECAUSE
HUMAN TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN IS
A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, AND IT'S A
HORRIBLE PLAGUE ON OUR STATE
NATION AND SOCIETY. I AM PROUD
TO STAND AND VOTE TODAY AND
ENSURING THIS TERRIBLE CRIME IS
TREATED AS THE SERIOUS FELONY.
IT SHOULD HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
TREATED IN OUR STATE'S LAW. THIS
BILL SHOULD NOT BE CONTROVERSIAL
ISSUE. AND OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL
AS A SOCIETY AS LEGISLATORS AS
CALIFORNIANS. AS RICANS
SHOULD BE TO PROTECT OUR
CHILDREN. THIS BILL IS ABOUT
PROTECTING PAST PRESENT AND
FUTURE VICTIMS. IT'S ABOUT
SENDING THE STRONGEST MESSAGE TO
THE WORST IN OUR SOCIETY, THOSE
WHO WOULD SELL OUR CHILDREN FOR
LABOR OR SEX. BUT THEY WILL BE
SEVERELY PUNISHED AND HELD
ACCOUNTABLE. I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR OF THIS BILL FOR
CHAMPIONING THIS CAUSE. AND I
WANT TO THANK THE MANY MEMBERS
ON BOTH HOUSES IN BOTH HOUSES
AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE.
WHO WILL BE SUPPORTING THIS BILL
TODAY? MEMBERS MY FRIENDS, I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
PACHECO. YOU WERE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND
MEMBERS TODAY I RISE TO SPEAK AS
A CO AUTHOR OF SENATE BILL 14
RELATIVE TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING. A
QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET
WILL SHOW THAT CALIFORNIA HAS
RANKED AS ONE OF THE WORST DATES
WITH RESPECT TO HUMAN
TRAFFICKING. AS STATE LEADERS.
WE NEED TO DO BETTER. IT IS TIME
TO TAKE A BOLD ACTION TO PROTECT
OUR STATE BY HOLDING HUMAN
TRAFFICKERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THEIR CRIMES. BEING THE WORLD'S
FOURTH LARGEST ECONOMY, AND A
BORDER STATE HAS COME WITH GREAT
RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP OUR MOST
VULNERABLE GROUPS LIKE OUR
CHILDREN SAFE. SENATE BILL 14.
IT'S A STEP TOWARDS THE RIGHT
DIRECTION TO PROTECT OUR
CHILDREN AGAINST SEX TRAFFICKERS
AND RECOGNIZES WHEN THESE SAME
CHILDREN HAVE BECOME PART OF
THIS VICIOUS CYCLE. I ALSO WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR AND ALSO ALL
THE CO AUTHORS AS WELL. AND I
RESPECTFULLY URGE FOR YOUR I
VOTE ON THIS VERY IMPORTANT
MEASURE. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S LACKEY. YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU MEMBERS.
THE REASON WHY I'M STANDING IS
BECAUSE I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU.
I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO
THOSE WHO ARE PAYING ATTENTION
WHEN THIS BILL HIT A SNAG. AND
I'M VERY, VERY THANKFUL THAT
PEOPLE WEIGHED IN. WITH SUCH
ENERGY. BECAUSE OUR MOST
PRECIOUS COMMODITY ARE OUR
CHILDREN. AND WHO IN THE WORLD
THINKS IT'S OK TO TRAFFIC
CHILDREN. NO ONE. I HOPE AND ALL
THIS MEASURE ASKED FOR IS THAT
WE CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS
FELONY. WOW. THE FACT THAT IT
HIT A SNAG HERE SHOULD CAUSE US
TO REEVALUATE. AND RECONSIDER.
THE WAY WE THINK WHEN IT COMES
TO OUR CHILDREN. I'M VERY, VERY
THANKFUL FOR LEADERSHIP. THIS IS
NOT JUST CONSERVATIVE PEOPLE.
THIS GOES WAY BEYOND ANY KIND OF
PARTISAN DIVIDE. SO THANKFUL.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO WEIGH IN
ON THE FLOOR ON THIS MEASURE.
BECAUSE OUR PUBLIC DEMANDS IT
AND OUR CHILDREN DESERVE IT.
AYE. HIGHLY HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU
TO VOTE FOR DECENCY AND VOTE.
YES, THANK YOU. MR PATTERSON,
YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I RISE AS A CO AUTHOR,
UM. TO JUST SIMPLY TRY AND FOCUS
ON WHAT WE ARE CONSIDERING IN
FRONT OF US. HOW CAN IT BE
CONTROVERSIAL? THAT WE WANT TO
HOLD SEX TRAFFICKERS
ACCOUNTABLE. FOR TRAFFICKING OUR
CHILDREN. OUR CHILDREN. AS I
STAND HERE. I THINK OF MY
CHILDREN. AND MY GRANDCHILDREN.
AND TO HAVE THE NOTION GO
THROUGH MY MIND THAT THERE ARE
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT IF THEY
COULD THEY WOULD TRAFFIC MY
BABIES. SO LET'S JUST THINK
ABOUT THE SIMPLICITY. THE
JUSTICE. OF WHAT IS IN FRONT OF
US. IS SEX TRAFFICKING. OF
CHILDREN. A SERIOUS CRIME. I
THINK IT IS SELF EVIDENT TRUTH
THAT IT IS. IT IS HEINOUS. AND
HORRIFIC. SO. I HOPE THAT THIS
BODY WILL WITH ONE. STRONG
VOICE. SAY WE CARE FOR THOSE
KIDS. AND WE'RE GOING TO STAND
UP TO THOSE WHO WOULD TRAFFIC
THEM. AND IF WE CATCH THEM THEY
WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. FOR A
SERIOUS CRIME. AGAINST OUR
BABIES. PLEASE JOIN ALL OF US
WHO HAVE DECIDED TO CO AUTHOR
AND WHO STAND HERE. AND ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT. THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT I THINK IS SO SELF EVIDENT.
SO HEART WRENCHING AND ALSO SO
MATTINGLY UNJUST. THAT WE CLOSE.
THOSE OPPORTUNITIES. FOR THOSE
INDIVIDUALS TO GET AWAY WITH
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. SO PLEASE
VOTE AYE. ON THIS. I'M CONVINCED
THAT WHEN YOU DO YOU WILL FEEL
IN YOUR HEART THAT JUSTICE IS
BEING DONE. AND YOU WILL KNOW
THAT YOU HAVE HAD A PART. AND
PERHAPS SAVING A YOUNG ONE. AND
PUTTING THAT INDIVIDUAL WHO
WOULD SEX TRAFFICKED THEM. AWAY
SO THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT TO
ANYBODY ELSE. ANYMORE. IT'S THAT
SIMPLE IN FRONT OF US. DO WE
BELIEVE THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING
IS A SERIOUS CRIME. YES, IT IS.
AND LET'S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
AND WE HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT
OF US TODAY. I ASK FOR YOUR I
VOTE, PLEASE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
SORIA, YOU ARE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I RISE AS A
PROTOCOL TO AUTHOR TO SP 14 AND
STAND IN STRONG SUPPORT OF
CLASSIFYING HUMAN TRAFFICKING AS
A SERIOUS FELONY UNDER
CALIFORNIA LAW. SB 14 IS WHAT I
BELIEVE A SIMPLE BILL BUT A VERY
CRITICAL ONE BY ADDING HUMAN
TRAFFICKING AS A SERIOUS FELONY
. SB 14 WILL HOLD TRAFFICKERS
TRAFFICKERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THEIR CRIMES AND HELP RESTORE
JUSTICE. TO THEIR VICTIMS AS WE
HEARD MANY OF THEM BEING
CHILDREN. THESE VICTIMS OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING ARE SUBJECTED TO
PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL ABUSE AND
EXPLOITATION AND DESERVE JUSTICE
. THROUGHOUT THIS LEGISLATIVE
SESSION, WE HEARD FROM COUNTLESS
VICTIMS. I TUNED INTO SEVERAL OF
THE TESTIMONIES OF THOSE BRAVE
VICTIMS THAT WERE ABLE TO SHARE
AND MUSTER THE COURAGE TO SHARE.
THEY'RE AWFUL STORIES AND SO
TODAY BY US VOTING TO SUPPORT SB
14. WE WILL ENSURE THAT OUR
STATE HOLDS IN THE STRONGEST
TERMS POSSIBLE HUMAN TRAFFICKERS
ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR HARM TO
VICTIMS AND WILL SERVE AS A
STRONG DETERRENT TO OTHERS AND
ENGAGING IN THIS CRIMINAL
ACTIVITY. I'M PROUD TO STAND AND
SUPPORT A VICTIM RIGHTS OF OUR
CHILDREN AND OUR COMMUNITY THAT
CONTINUE TO BE PREYED UPON. AND
I STRONGLY URGE MY VOTE ON SB
14. SUDDENLY MEMBER GIBSON,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. MADAM SPEAKER MEMBERS
. I WANT TO, UM, ALSO LEND MY
VOICE TO THIS COURSE I'M IN
SUPPORT OF THIS, UM SP 14. I
WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR ONE
HER STICK TO OF THIS FOR MAKING
SURE THAT ONE. THIS BILL CAME
BEFORE US AND ON THIS FLOOR. I
ALSO WANT TO, UM, JUST REAL
QUICKLY. TALK ABOUT A YOUNG LADY
WHO WAS 16 YEARS OLD. HER
MOTHER. SHE GREW UP IN COMPTON.
HER MOTHER WAS CONFINED TO A
WHEELCHAIR FOR THE REST OF HER
LIFE. AS A PARAPLEGIC. HER
MOTHER TRIED EVERYTHING SHE
COULD. FROM HER BED. AND HER
WHEELCHAIR. TO BE A MOTHER TO
PROVIDE. THE KIND OF SUPPORT FOR
HER DAUGHTER. HER MOTHER DIDN'T
REALIZE IS THAT HER DAUGHTER IS
16 YEARS OLD IN MY DISTRICT. WAS
A VICTIM OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
SHE WAS ABUSED. AND DURING THE
SUPER BOWL IN INGLEWOOD. IN LOS
ANGELES. WHICH I WANT TO RAISE
AND ELEVATE. WHEN WE HAVE THESE
SUPER BOWL GAMES AND NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIPS, THIS IS THE
HIGHEST TIME WHEN HUMAN
TRAFFICKING EXISTS. IN OUR
COUNTRY AND OUR STATES. SHE WAS
PUSHED IN, AND SHE WAS
THREATENED. AND THEN HER
TRAFFICKER. SHOT HER. AND KILLED
HER. AND THROUGH HER BODY. ON
THE 1 10 FREEWAY GOING NORTH
BONG. RIGHT OFF FROM MANCHESTER.
AND THAT'S WHERE WORKERS FOUND
HER BODY. A FEW DAYS LATER. THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE PUT UP
50,000, THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES
PUT MONEY UP IN THE COUNTY OF
LOS ANGELES, PUT MONEY UP AS
WELL. TOLLING 100 AND $10,000 AS
A REWARD. THAT INDIVIDUAL IS
NERVOUS FOUND. AND THE REASON
WHY I RAISED AND ELEVATE THIS
CONVERSATION. IS BECAUSE THERE'S
A REAL ISSUE NOT ONLY IN OUR
STATE BUT ALSO IN AMERICA. BUT
WE HAVE OUR CHILDREN, OUR
BABIES, THE MOST VULNERABLE
BEING FORCED INTO HUMAN
TRAFFICKING. AND SO WE HAVE TO
SEND A CLEAR MESSAGE. AND I
BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL SENDS A
CLEAR MESSAGE THAT WE'RE GOING
TO PROTECT OUR BABIES. WE'RE
GONNA DO EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN
TO STAND AND PROTECT OUR BABIES,
BUT ALSO MAKE SURE THE
PERPETRATORS. RECEIVED THE MOST
TOUGHEST PENALTIES UNDER THE
LAW. MEMBERS. I'M CLEAR OF
THOUGHT. I JOINED THE 60 SOME
ODD MEMBERS AS A CO AUTHOR OF
THIS BILL. AND THANK THE FLOOR
JOCKEY FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
BEFORE US, WHICH GREAT INTENSITY
AND RESPECTFULLY ASKED FOR A
STRONG I VOTE. FOR OUR CHILDREN.
SUDDENLY MEMBER MAJORITY LEADER
WRITING OR RECOGNIZED.
COLLEAGUES. MADAM SPEAKER. OUR
CHILDREN ARE BEING LET DOWN IN
CALIFORNIA. YOU GET NO PUSHBACK
FOR ME ON THAT. THEY ARE
SEXUALLY EXPLOITED. THEY ARE
PHYSICALLY HARMED THEIR
MALNOURISHED THEY'RE BEATING
THEIR OFTEN FORGOTTEN. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT THOSE FORGOTTEN
CHILDREN END UP THE END OF IT.
MY HOUSE. MY MOTHER WAS A FOSTER
MOTHER FOR OVER 200 CHILDREN.
WHO CAME FROM THESE KIND OF
CONDITIONS. AND ADOPTED NINE OF
US. THIS CONVERSATION OVER SB 14
WASN'T WHETHER CHILD TRAFFICKING
IS SERIOUS. OF COURSE, IT'S
SERIOUS. IT'S SO SERIOUS. YOU
CAN GO TO PRISON FOR LIFE RIGHT
NOW WITHOUT PASSING THIS BILL.
THIS CONVERSATION WAS WHETHER WE
SHOULD WILLINGLY REOPENED THREE
STRIKES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A
DECADE WITHOUT THE NECESSARY
SAFEGUARDS TO ENSURE THAT
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS AND
SURVIVORS THEMSELVES CAN'T BE
SENTENCED TO 25 TO LIFE. AS
OFTEN HAPPENS IN THESE
PROSECUTIONS WHERE VICTIMS AND
SURVIVORS ARE LEVERAGED.
CRIMINALIZED. EXPLOITED THROUGH
THE CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM. IN
HOPES THAT YOU'RE. RESULT IN A
CONVICTION FURTHER UP THE
LADDER. I'M GRATEFUL TO SPEAKER
REVIS FOR ENSURING THAT
AMENDMENTS WERE PUT IN THIS BILL
TO PROTECT THOSE SURVIVORS. AND
FOR PUSHING US TO DO BETTER. TO
NOT ACCEPT. POLICY, AS IS BUT TO
ALWAYS PUSH TO DO BETTER. I
VOTED FOR THIS BILL IN
APPROPRIATIONS. I WILL BE VOTING
FOR IT TODAY. BUT THE POLICY
CONVERSATIONS THAT EXISTED
AROUND THIS LEGISLATION ARE NOT
OVER OR IMPORTANT ARE NECESSARY
AND I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE
THIS BODY TO THINK VERY, VERY
CAREFULLY. BEFORE WE GO DOWN THE
PATHWAY. WITH A CRIMINAL LEGAL
SYSTEM BECOMES THE ANSWER. FOR
POVERTY EXPLOITATION. THE
FAILING OF OUR CHILDREN IN THE
FAILING OF ENTIRE COMMUNITIES.
THANK YOU. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOHN
SAWYER. YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER TODAY I'M
GOING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF S B
14. GROVE. AS AMENDED. WHEN
POLICIES PROPOSED POLICIES
PUNISHED MORE INDIVIDUALS THAN
INTENDED THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE
TO SPECIFIC COMMUNITIES CAN
CAUSE A DOMINO EFFECT OF
IRREPARABLE INJUSTICE. SB 14
OVERLOOKED ONE KEY PROPONENT.
AND THAT IS THE PERSECUTION OF
VICTIMS OF THESE HORRENDOUS
CRIMES AND FOR GOES GRANTING
TOOLS FOR PUNISHMENT OF THESE
CRIMES FOR OUR DISTRICT
ATTORNEYS. BY ABSTAINING FROM
VOTING ON SB 14 AND GRANTING IT
RECONSIDERATION ON THE BILL. IT
WAS KEPT ALIVE. AMENDMENTS WERE
ADDED. AMENDMENTS WERE ADDED. SP
14 EXCLUDED VICTIM PROTECTIONS.
WHEN A SURVIVOR OF SEX
TRAFFICKING COULD BE CHARGED AS
AN ACCOMPLICE AND FACE LONG TERM
PRISON SENTENCES. SURVIVOR IS
THE VICTIM TWICE. UNDER THE
ORIGINAL BILL. DURING THE DURING
THE HEARING. WE HEARD FROM TWO
VICTIMS. TWO VICTIMS, ONE FOR
THE BILL, ONE AGAINST ALL OF YOU
HAVE HEARD ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
THE OTHER VICTIM WAS APRIL.
APRIL WAS SIX TRAFFIC. IT WHEN
SHE WAS A, WHICH IS PRACTICALLY
A BABY. BY RELATIVES. SHE KNEW
NOTHING ELSE, BUT THAT IN THE
COMMITTEE. SHE POURED HER HEART
OUT. SHE WAS IN TEARS. SHE WAS
CRYING. AND IT'S JUST NOBODY
HEARD HER, BUT WE HEARD HER. WE
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT PAIN
BECAUSE SHE THEN GOT INVOLVED IN
SICK TRAFFICKING HERSELF. AND
WITH COMMITTED TO OUR PRISON
SYSTEM. FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WHICH
MEANS SHE WAS VICTIMIZED AGAIN
BY BY US BY OUR CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM. AND WE NEEDED TO BE ABLE
TO EMBRACE INDIVIDUALS. WHO ARE
IN THAT DO NO FAULT OF YOUR OWN
AS CHILDREN. BY THESE MONSTERS.
AND WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM.
ONCE THEY GOT TRAPPED INTO THAT
CYCLE. AND SO WE NEED TO
CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT. WE
ALSO AS I STARTED TALKING TO
SEVERAL D A S ON BOTH SIDES OF
THE ISLES, WHETHER YOU'RE
PROGRESSIVE WHETHER YOU'RE TOUGH
ON CRIME, WHETHER YOU'RE
REPUBLICAN, WHETHER INDEPENDENT
OR DEMOCRAT, THEY ALL SAID. THAT
THEY HAD TROUBLE. AND I DON'T
UNDERSTAND WHY BUT THEY HAD
TROUBLE CONVINCING. OR GETTING
CONVICTIONS THAT THIS WAS A
SERIOUS CRIME. AND WE HAVE
PROPOSED AND I HAVE PROPOSED
ANOTHER HAD PROPOSED PUTTING IN
LANGUAGE TO MAKE SURE THAT NEVER
HAPPENED BECAUSE IT MAKES
ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE TO ME. AS
COERCION IS PART OF BEING A
SERIOUS VIOLENT CRIME. WHY YOU
CAN'T SAY. YOU CAN'T PROVE THAT
A CHILD IS COERCED INTO THIS
BECAUSE NO CHILD WANTS TO DO
THIS. THEY'RE NOT BORN INTO
THIS. SO OF COURSE THEY'RE
COERCED. OF COURSE, YOU CAN
CHARGE THEM WITH A SERIOUS
FELONY. BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE A
PROBLEM. AND SO WE WANTED TO
HAVE SOME WORDING AND MAYBE WE
NEED TO REVISIT THAT SO THAT
THIS LOOPHOLE ISN'T USED AGAIN.
AND PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO GET OUT.
THE OTHER THING IS PLEA
BARGAINING. PLEA BARGAINING IS
USED SO THEY CAN CAPTURE THESE
THESE MONSTERS AND BRING THEM IN
, BUT WHAT IT DOES ALSO DO IS
LET THEM OUT EARLIER. WE SHOULD
NOT BE LETTING THESE INDIVIDUALS
OUT EARLIER. WE SHOULD NOT BE
LETTING THESE INDIVIDUALS OUT
EARLIER. SO THEY CAN GO AHEAD
AND RECOMMIT THE SAME CRIME
AGAIN AGAIN AFTER ONE YEAR OR
TWO YEARS. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO
CLOSE THAT. AND THAT WASN'T
SOMETHING ELSE WE WANT TO LOOK
AT AND DO ABSOLUTELY NO ONE ON
THIS FLOOR. BELIEVES IN HUMAN
CONTRACT SECONDS. AND WITH APRIL
HAS SHOWN BECAUSE SHE WAS
ATTACKED. AND CALLED NAMES
CALLED THE N WORD AND CALL
OFFICERS THE HORRIBLE NAME
BECAUSE SHE TESTIFIED FOR
SPEAKING HER TRUTH. AND SEVERAL
MEMBERS IN HERE GOT THE SAME. SO
LET'S COME TOGETHER AS I ALWAYS
KEEP SAYING. TO ACTUALLY MOVE
FORWARD. PEACEFUL, RESPECTFUL
WAY. TO STOP HUMAN TRAFFICKING
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. I EXPECT
FELI ASKED FOR AN I VOTE ON SB
14 AS AMENDED. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
BAINES, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. YES
COLLEAGUES. TODAY I RISE AS A
PROUD CO AUTHOR AND SUPPORTER OF
SB 14, BUT NOT JUST AS A
COLLEAGUE IN THE LEGISLATURE.
BUT AS A DOCTOR THAT'S BEEN
WORKING TO REHABILITATE HER
COMMUNITY, UM AS A TRAUMA
SPECIALIST AS A PERSON THAT
ACTUALLY WORKS TO SEE PATIENTS.
I HAVE TO STRESS. AND IN MY
EXPERIENCE MY EXPERTISE,
EXPERIENCE OF REHABILITATING
PEOPLE REHABILITATING A VICTIM
OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING IS MUCH,
MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN ANY
OTHER REHABILITATION OF
ADDICTION THAT I HAVE
EXPERIENCED IN MY CAREER. WHAT
IT DOES. TO A PERSON AND IT'S
WOMEN AND MEN ALIKE. THERE'S
BOYS THAT ARE TRAFFIC. THERE ARE
GIRLS THAT ARE TRAFFICKED AND
WHAT IT DOES TO TAKE AWAY. THEIR
IDENTITY IS ESPECIALLY AT A
YOUNG AGE IS SO HARD. TO
REHABILITATE THE RELAPSE RATES
ARE SOME OF THE HIGHEST AMONGST
ANY TRAUMA THAT WE HAVE SEEN. IT
IS ONE OF THE MOST DEBILITATING
THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO TO A
HUMAN BEING TO TRAFFIC THEM AND
I HAVE BEEN IN THOSE ROOMS. I
HAVE HELD THOSE HANDS. VICTIMS
OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND IT IS
IN MY EXPERTISE AND IN MY
EXPERIENCE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST
THINGS TO REHABILITATE. COMPARED
TO ANY TRAUMA I HAVE SEEN. SOME
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SHE EVER YOU
WERE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAME. SPEAKER MEMBERS. UM I
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 14. AND I
REALLY WANT TO THANK THE SPEAKER
FOR ENSURING THAT THIS BILL GOT
TO WHERE IT REALLY NEEDS TO BE.
IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT WHEN
WE WENT THROUGH THE PROPER
PROCESS, IT WENT THROUGH A FULL
PROCESSES WITH COMPLETELY VETTED
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WHILE WE ALL
HAVE THE BEST OF INTENTIONS
AROUND BILLS, WE HAVE TO MAKE
SURE THAT THERE ARE NOT
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES. AND WE
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE
VICTIMS. OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING DO
NOT GET CAUGHT UP. IN THE
SYSTEM. UM AND RE TRAUMATIZED.
AND SO SEEING THAT CHANGE AND
SEEING THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
THAT THAT HAPPENED, I FELT IT
WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT
THIS. WE KNOW THAT HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IS QUICKLY BECOMING
THE TOP CRIME ISSUE IN OUR
NATION. AND THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE SERIOUSLY.
AND WE HAVE TO REALLY USE ALL OF
OUR TOOLS. TO ENSURE THAT WE
STOP THIS. AS A MOTHER. AS A
COMMUNITY MEMBER. IT'S
TERRIFYING TO THINK. OF THE
IMPACTS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
IT'S WHY I STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS
BILL. AND I'LL BE ASKING FOR AN
I VOTE FROM COLLEAGUES TODAY.
THANK YOU. SOME REMEMBER
GALLAGHER YOU RECOGNIZED. THANK
YOU, MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS.
I AM. I AM CERTAINLY HEARTENED
TO SEE THE BIPARTISAN SUPPORT
FOR THIS MEASURE. BUT JUST I
CAN'T HELP BUT REBUT SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SAID HERE,
UM FROM THE VERY BEGINNING. THE
AUTHOR. AND MANY PEOPLE MADE IT
VERY CLEAR IN COMMITTEE AND
ELSEWHERE THAT CURRENT LAW
ALREADY PROTECTS VICTIMS AND
ENSURES THAT IF YOU ARE A VICTIM
OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING, YOU HAVE A
DEFENSE. AND YOU WOULD NOT BE
CONVICTED. AND THE STATEMENT.
THE D A. S R. PLEA BARGAINING
OUT HUMAN TRAFFICKERS WON'T
WELL, MAYBE IN ALAMEDA IN LOS
ANGELES. WELL THANKFULLY AND
HOPEFULLY THOSE DS ARE GOING TO
BE RECALLED. BUT NO D A WHO IS
ACTUALLY OUT THERE WORKING EVERY
DAY TO KEEP HUMAN TRAFFICKERS
BEHIND BARS IS PLEA BARGAINING
OUT. THAT'S RIDICULOUS. AND
THOSE DS HAVE BEEN HERE EVERY
STEP OF THE WAY, SAYING WE NEED
THIS. WE NEED TO ENSURE IT'S A
SERIOUS FELONY. SO WE'RE NOT
GOING TO SAY WE'RE NOT GOING TO
STATE THINGS THAT AREN'T TRUE.
ON THIS FLOOR. AND THE FACT OF
THE MATTER IS THIS AMENDMENT
ONLY DECLARES WHAT'S ALREADY
EXISTING LAW IS THAT VICTIMS OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING CANNOT BE
PROSECUTED IN THAT WAY. AND
THAT'S VERY CLEAR IN THE
LANGUAGE IF YOU READ IT. AND WE
ALL KNOW THAT IT'S BEEN SAID
SINCE DAY ONE, SO TO ACT LIKE
THAT SOMETHING NEW IS NOT TRUE.
THE AUTHOR SAID THAT FROM DAY
ONE AND THE VICTIMS THAT
CONSTANTLY CAME INTO COMMITTEE
SAYING, PLEASE DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THIS. IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE
SAID THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
THIS BILL HAS BEEN BEFORE US.
IT'S NOT JUST THIS YEAR. PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE HUMAN
TRAFFICKING A SERIOUS FELONY FOR
YEARS NOW IN THIS BODY, AND
EVERY TIME IT GETS STOPPED. IN
THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.
THAT'S THE TRUTH. THEY VOTED
DOWN. THE CHAIR DOESN'T HEAR THE
BILL. HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH
MANY MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO BRING SOME KIND OF
REASONABLE PUBLIC SAFETY TO THIS
BODY. AND THAT HAS TO BE STATED.
IT'S WRONG. IT'S SOMETHING WE
HAVE TO CHANGE IN THIS BODY.
THAT WE ALLOW ONE PERSON OR A
VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO
OVERRULE THE MAJORITY. OF THE
PEOPLE IN THIS HOUSE. AND IN THE
OTHER HOUSE. TO ALLOW US. I HEAR
THIS A LOT FROM PEOPLE ON THE
OTHER SIDE ABOUT SUBVERTING THE
WILL OF THE MAJORITY OF
SUBVERTING DEMOCRACY. THAT'S
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMITTEE. THAT'S A FACT.
WHEN WE HAVE A MAJORITY OF CO
AUTHORS. FOR BILLS AND THEY DIE
IN COMMITTEE BECAUSE ONE PERSON
SAYS NO. IT'S NOT RIGHT. IT HAS
TO END AND I'M GLAD WE'RE ALL
COMING TOGETHER ON THIS TODAY,
BUT LET'S TELL THE TRUTH. ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING ON AND FIX THE REAL
PROBLEM. NOBODY'S TALKING ABOUT
LOCKING EVERYONE UP. IT'S
TALKING ABOUT BRINGING BACK SOME
REASONABLE ORDER IN OUR SOCIETY
RIGHT NOW, WHERE PEOPLE CAN'T
COMMIT CRIMES AND HAVE NOTHING
HAPPENED TO THEM. ONLY TO BE
RELEASED EARLY. ONLY TO BE GIVEN
A CITATION. BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
WILLING TO DO THE THINGS THAT
THE PEOPLE ARE DEMANDING. WE DO.
SO YES, I'M CERTAINLY GLAD WE'RE
PASSING THIS BILL TODAY. BUT
LET'S BE REAL. I'M NOT GOING TO
LET PEOPLE DISTORT HISTORY. AND
WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENED IN THIS
BODY OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS.
FINALLY, WE'RE GETTING THIS DONE
TODAY. I HOPE THERE'S NO NO
VOTES AND WE PASSED THIS OUT
UNANIMOUSLY AS THE SENATE DID.
BEFORE WE HAD THIS WHOLE
DEBACLE. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S DAVIES, YOU ARE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER. I'M PROUD TO CO AUTHOR
THIS BILL AS WELL AND I WANT TO
SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO SENATOR
GROVE FOR HER TENACITY AND NEVER
GIVING UP. BUT AS MY COLLEAGUE
SAID, FOR ME, THIS IS PRETTY SAD
THAT WE'RE SITTING HERE. AT THIS
TIME, AND THIS BILL IS FINALLY
GOING THROUGH. WHEN WE KNOW THAT
THIS IS SUCH A HELL RENDERS ACT
AND YET I SIT AND I LISTEN ALL
THE TIME AS WELL. IT'S NOT A
PERFECT BILL. IT'S NOT A PERFECT
BILL. IF THIS ISN'T A PERFECT
BUILD AND TELL ME WHAT BILL IS,
THERE IS NO REASON FOR US TO
QUESTION IS ESPECIALLY WHEN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT
THAT THOSE THAT WERE VICTIMS AND
ARE THEN ALSO USED FOR THIS HAVE
THE RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT
OF THIS SO ONCE AGAIN, IT'S TIME
WE REALLY STAND UP AND WE ALSO
HAVE TO LOOK AT WHERE THIS IS
TAKING US. I SAID ON THIS FLOOR
LAST YEAR AND WATCHED MAJORITY
OF THE PEOPLE LOVE YOU WEREN'T
HERE. BUT SIT THERE AND VOTE TO
MAKE IT LEGAL. FOR PROSTITUTION
. AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT DID
THAT GAVE THE SEX TRAFFICKING
VICTIM THAT WAS THE ONLY HOPE
THEY HAD. WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM
, THEY'RE LIKE IF I WASN'T
PICKED UP, THEY WEREN'T ARRESTED
. BUT IF LAW ENFORCEMENT DIDN'T
COME IN, BREAK THIS UP AND GET
US DOWN TO THE STATION, WE WOULD
HAVE NEVER HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY
TO ACTUALLY BE FREE. NEVER OF
THE OPPORTUNITY, SAYING WE CAN
HELP YOU. WE CAN TAKE YOU WE CAN
PUT YOU SOMEPLACE SAFE. THEY
WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD THAT. BUT
GUESS WHAT? IT'S NOT THERE. IT'S
OKAY THEN. IF YOU SEX
TRAFFICKING MINOR, YOU'VE GOT
DIFFERENT CITIES RIGHT NOW WHERE
YOU'VE GOT A LINE OF CARS BACKED
UP. THIS WAS JUST MORE OF AN
EVENING THING. NOW WITH THAT
LEGAL THEY'RE COMING THROUGH THE
DAY WHERE THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TO
PUT DETOURS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
GET THROUGH THE STREETS BECAUSE
CARS LINED UP SO YOU TELL ME.
IT'S GREAT. THIS IS HAPPENING,
BUT IT'S TIME WE START DOING
SOMETHING AND WE REALLY MEAN IT
. I'M SO SICK AND TIRED OF
SITTING AND STANDING UP HERE AND
WATCHING YOU GUYS PUT THE VICTIM
LAST. IT'S TIME WE ACTUALLY
SUPPORT THEM IN OUR VOICES STAND
UP FOR THEM. DON'T JUST SAY IT
AND THEN DO THE OPPOSITE. SO I
ASKED. OBVIOUSLY EVERY SINGLE
PERSON THIS IS A PERFECT BILL,
AND THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYONE
TO ABSTAIN. IT BETTER BE ACROSS
THE AISLE SUPPORT AND LET'S
REALLY START DOING SOMETHING FOR
THE OTHERS. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
JACKSON. YOU WERE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MADAM
SPEAKER. YOU KNOW, WE'RE
STARTING TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF
OVER SIMPLE IZATION ON THESE
ISSUES. THESE ARE SO COMPLEX
ISSUES. AND BASED UPON OUR
DEBATES. THOSE WHO ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR TRAFFICKING ARE
THE ONES THAT ARE PLAYING GAMES
TO CONFUSE THIS ISSUE IN THE
FIRST PLACE. THEY KNOW THAT IF
WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE CONTROLLING. THE
CHILDREN WHO ARE BEING
TRAFFICKED THAT NO ONE WILL EVER
THINK. THAT THAT PERSON COULD
ACTUALLY BE THE ONE THAT'S BEING
TRAFFICKED TO WE STAY IN HOTELS
, WHILE THOSE OF US WHO STAY IN
HOTELS ALL AROUND HERE. THERE'S
A GOOD CHANCE THERE'S SOME
PEOPLE IN THESE HOTELS THAT ARE
BEING TRAFFICKED. THE WORST
THING WE CAN DO IS SIMPLIFY THIS
ISSUE. BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO
HURT INNOCENT PEOPLE. IT IS NOT
AS SIMPLE AS PEOPLE ARE SAYING.
THERE ARE SOME OF US WHO HAVE
ACTUALLY BEEN TRAINED IN HUMAN
TRAFFICKING. AND TO BRING A
WHOLE ANOTHER ISSUE LIKE
PROSTITUTION AND ALL THAT STUFF,
EVEN CLOUDS AND EVEN MORE.
BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU YOU'RE
WRONG. THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT
EVEN BEFORE THIS BUILD, SOMEONE
CAN STILL GO TO LIFE, SPEND LIFE
IN PRISON. FOR TRAFFICKING. SO
IF OUR ARGUMENT ABOUT PEOPLE
TRYING TO SAY WE DON'T EVEN NEED
THE AMENDMENTS, BECAUSE THE LAW
ALREADY DOES IT, WHAT WOULD
APPLIES TO YOU, TOO? WE ARE
ALREADY IN AGREEMENT. THAT WE
GOT TO DO SOMETHING. BUT
SOMETIMES WE GOT TO STOP WHILE
WE'RE AHEAD BECAUSE THEN WE'RE
GOING TO START HURTING OTHER
PEOPLE. THIS ISSUE IS
COMPLICATED. AND IT'S
COMPLICATED ON PURPOSE. AND WE
HAVE TO HAVE THE INTELLECTUAL
RIGOR TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN AND
NOT RUSH. BUT DISCUSSED THE
INTRICACIES THAT ARE BEING DONE
NOT JUST FROM A LAW ENFORCEMENT
PERSPECTIVE. BUT FROM A SOCIAL
WORK PERSPECTIVE. FROM A MEDICAL
PERSPECTIVE. ALL THESE THINGS
HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED. SO LET'S
VOTE FOR THIS BILL, AND LET'S
CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS. HOW. TO
DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES. ANY MORE
THOUGHTFUL AND PRODUCTIVE WAY.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S JOE PATTERSON,
YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. THIS BILL IS SIMPLE.
CURRENT LAW PROTECTED VICTIMS,
AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I WOULD SAY
THAT WE HAVEN'T RUSHED THIS
MEASURE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE
SIXTH TIME. THIS MEASURE HAS
COME TO THIS BODY. AND IT WILL
BE THE FIRST TIME THIS MEASURE
HAS PASSED OUT OF THIS BODY, SO
THERE'S NOTHING RUSHED ABOUT
THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING I'VE
BEEN FOLLOWING FOR A LONG TIME.
THIS IS ALSO A SIMILAR PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT I HAD THAT ALSO
DIED IN COMMITTEE. AND SO
THERE'S NOTHING RUSHED ABOUT
THIS MEASURE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE
TIME. AND YOU WILL NOT HEAR THIS
COME OUT OF MY MOUTH VERY OFTEN.
I AM. SOMETIMES I HATE TO ADMIT
IT, BUT THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE
DEAD IF THE GOVERNOR DID NOT
SPEAK UP IN SUPPORT OF THIS. AND
SO I'M THANKFUL THAT HE STOOD
UP. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THIS MEASURE FAILED THE
COMMITTEE THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE
REMEMBER THIS MEASURE FAILED.
AND HE SAID, THIS SHOULD BE A
SERIOUS IT SHOULDN'T BE SERIOUS
SHOULD BE VIOLENT. BECAUSE THIS
IS A VIOLENT CRIME. AND WE THERE
ARE OTHER LEGISLATION. I ADMIT
THERE'S OTHER LEGISLATION THAT I
THINK SHOULD BE A SERIOUS OR
VIOLENT CRIME AS WELL. BUT THIS
ONE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT
SHOULD PASS AND THERE WAS
SOMETHING ELSE. I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYBODY'S NOTICED, BUT I'M ON
TWITTER. AND UM, THERE. I SAW A
TWEET FROM ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES
THAT SAID, HEY, REPUBLICANS ARE
USING VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING
TO PASS THIS MEASURE. AND THAT
WAS SO OFFENSIVE TO ME SO
OFFENSIVE. IN FACT, I WAS
OUTSIDE THE PUBLIC SAFETY
COMMITTEE WHEN THIS WAS HEARD
THE SECOND TIME AFTER FAILED THE
FIRST TIME AND I WAS TALKING
WITH A LADY WHO WAS INTRODUCED
TO ME FROM MY DISTRICT. I HAD
NEVER MET HER UNTIL THIS MOMENT.
AND I SHARED A VERY SWEET MOMENT
WITH HER WHEN SHE TOLD ME HER
STORY ABOUT BEING TRAFFICKED IN
MY COMMUNITY. AND SO ACTUALLY,
SHE EDUCATED ME ON WHAT HAPPENS
, UM, OUT THERE IN REALLY THE
DARK WORLD. BUT I DON'T TO SAY
THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S
RUSHED AND THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT IS COMPLICATED.
IT'S NOT COMPLICATED. IT'S VERY
SIMPLE AND IT'S NOT RUSH. THIS
IS THE SIXTH YEAR AND IT'S GONNA
PASS AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO
THE GOVERNOR SIGNING IT. AND
WHEN HE DOES, I'M GONNA
CELEBRATE THE GOVERNOR FOR DOING
THE RIGHT THING, AND WE SHOULD
ALL DO THE RIGHT THING TODAY AND
SUPPORT THIS MEASURE. I ASKED
FOR AN I VOTE. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
SALLY, YOU WERE RECOGNIZED.
THANK YOU, MADAM SPEAKER. I WAS
NOT PLANNING TO SPEAK. BUT THE
AMOUNT OF DISINFORMATION I'VE
HEARD HAS COMPELLED ME TO SPEAK
WITH ALL RESPECT. MY COLLEAGUE
FROM MARINA VALLEY HAS NO IDEA
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. YOU
CANNOT CURRENTLY GO TO JAIL FOR
LIFE. FOR SEX TRAFFICKING. THAT
WERE THE CASE. WHY WOULD WE HAVE
THIS BILL? WE'RE NOT IN THE
BUSINESS OF DOING POINTLESS
BILLS. THIS NEEDS TO BE TALKED
ABOUT IN A LARGER CONTEXT. WHY
WAS A GOOD BILL LIKE THIS
BLOCKED IN PUBLIC SAFETY?
BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST THE
AGENDA OF EMPTYING OUR PRISONS.
WE HAVE HAD A PRISON
OVERCROWDING ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA
FOR OVER A DECADE WE HAD ABOUT
180,000 PRISONERS IN PRISON, NOT
ENOUGH SPACE. SO WHAT DID WHAT
DID WE DO? WE PASSED A B 109
PROP 47. PROP 57 WITH THE INTENT
OF EMPTYING THE PRISONS. AND
AMONG THAT, WE DECLARED FELONIES
THAT USED TO BE SERIOUS AND
VIOLENT AS NO LONGER SERIOUS AND
VIOLENT. SO WHEN YOU SEX TRAFFIC
AND YOU COME TO COURT, IT IS NOT
A SERIOUS FELONY, WHICH MEANS AS
A PROSECUTOR CANNOT ALLEGED AS A
STRIKE HERBAL OFFENSE. THAT'S
WHY THEY GET PLAYED OUT FOR
NONE. NOTHING BECAUSE THERE'S NO
HAMMER. I CANNOT FORCE SOMEONE
TO GO TO PRISON FOR A LONG TIME
IF I DON'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
SENTENCE THEM. SO LET'S LET'S
CUT THE FACADE. LET'S STOP
PRETENDING THAT WE HAVE NOT
PASSED BILL AFTER BILL TO EMPTY
THE PRISONS, WE NOW HAVE HALF AS
MANY PRISONERS AS WE USED TO.
AND WHAT EFFECT DO WE HAVE? ARE
WE SAFER NOW THAN WE WERE A
DECADE AGO? IS CRIME DOWN. NO.
JUST LOOK AT THE STATS. LOOK AT
THE STREETS. LOOK AT NORDSTROM'S
LOOK AT CBS LOOK AT SAN
FRANCISCO. THE COMMUNITIES ARE
SICK OF THIS AND WE HAVE TO GET
BACK. TO ENFORCING THE RULE OF
LAW AND LAW AND ORDER BECAUSE
THE PEOPLE DESERVE IT. THE
VICTIMS DESERVE IT. I AM SICK
AND TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT HOW
UNFAIR OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS. DO
YOU KNOW HOW INSULTING THAT IS
TWO PEOPLE WHO WORK EVERY DAY IN
THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM TO
PROSECUTORS. TWO POLICE OFFICERS
TO JUDGES WHO WAKE UP EVERY DAY
AND THEY GO DO JUSTICE. TELL ME
WHAT VICTIM IS SITTING IN PRISON
RIGHT NOW. NAME ONE. YOU CANNOT
SHOW ME A VICTIM WHO'S INNOCENT
IN PRISON. YOU GUYS SAY THIS
STUFF. IT'S NOT TRUE. THE DATE
THE D A HAS DISCRETION OF
WHETHER OR NOT TO FILE AND WE
EXERCISE IT. I WILL KEEP
SPEAKING. WE HAVE DISCRETION AND
WE USE IT. WE DO NOT FILE
CHARGES AGAINST VICTIMS. WE
WOULD NEVER DO THAT. SO. LET'S
LET'S GET BACK TO THE RULE OF
LAW. I AM ENCOURAGED BY THIS
BILL. I AM ENCOURAGED BY
PARTISAN AND I HOPE WE HAVE MORE
OF IT MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S SOME REMEMBER
MURATSUCHI YOU ARE RECOGNIZED.
THANK THANK THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I UH I ALMOST LOST MY VOICE
THERE. UM SO, YEAH, I I'VE BEEN
HERE FOR NINE YEARS. AND THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE HAD
THIS KIND OF DEBATE BECAUSE THIS
IS THE FIRST TIME THAT A BILL TO
INCREASE PENALTIES IN MY
RECOLLECTION IN MY NINE YEARS
HAS GOTTEN OUT OF THE ASSEMBLY
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE AND IS
NOW ON THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR. AND,
UM. YOU KNOW, I SPEAK NOT ONLY
AS A FORMER PROSECUTOR BUT ALSO
AS A FORMER PUBLIC DEFENDER. BUT
I ALSO SPEAK AS A DEMOCRAT WHO
BELIEVES THAT YOU KNOW, IN AN
IDEAL WORLD WE LIVE IN A
COMPLICATED WORLD. IN AN IDEAL
WORLD, WE SHOULD BE FOCUSING
MORE ON INVESTING IN PEOPLE. WE
SHOULD BE VOTING FOR OBVIOUSLY
MORE ON INVESTING IN EDUCATION
AND JOBS IN COMMUNITIES. AND NOT
JUST IN LOCKING UP PEOPLE FOR A
VERY LONG TIME. BUT I THINK THAT
THIS DEBATE THIS BOTTLE UP
DEBATE THAT WE'RE HAVING ON THIS
FLOOR IS JUST. PART OF WHAT THE
REST OF CALIFORNIA IS SAYING.
THAT WE NEED TO RESTORE BALANCE.
WE NEED TO RESTORE BALANCE
BETWEEN CONTINUE TO INVEST IN
PROGRAMS LIKE SUBSTANCE ABUSE,
MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT. JOB
TRAINING EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE NEED TO
DO MORE TO KEEP OUR
NEIGHBORHOODS AND OUR
COMMUNITIES SAFE. AND I BELIEVE
AS A DEMOCRAT WHO WAS INTRODUCED
PROBABLY AT LEAST FIVE BILLS
THAT HAVE DIED IN THE ASSEMBLY
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE. THAT I
BELIEVE WE NEED TO RESTORE THAT
BALANCE IN THIS HOUSE. AND SO I
WANT TO. I WANT TO THANK SPEAKER
RIVAS. FOR MAKING SURE THAT THIS
BILL RECEIVED THIS ROBUST DEBATE
THAT WE'RE HAVING HERE ON THE
FLOOR TODAY. AND I'M HOPING THAT
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING. OF A
MORE BALANCED APPROACH. WHERE WE
CAN FOCUS ON THOSE CONSTRUCTIVE
PROGRAMS THAT WE KNOW IN AN
IDEAL WORLD. WE WOULD LIKE TO
FOCUS ON BUT AT THE SAME TIME
MAKING SURE THAT THOSE WHO ARE
COMMITTING THE MOST HEINOUS
CRIMES THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTING
HARM TO THE MOST VULNERABLE
MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITIES ARE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND ARE LOCKED
UP, SO THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT
HURTING MORE PEOPLE. SEEN NÓI
FURTHER DISCUSSION OR DEBATE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S RUBIO. WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE? THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER. BEING ON THIS
ASSEMBLY FOLLOWER HAS BEEN THE
HONOR OF MY LIFE. UH, I HAVE
BEEN HERE NOW. THIS IS THE
SEVENTH YEAR. AND I'VE GONE TO
PUBLIC SAFETY MANY, MANY TIMES
AND I STOPPED GOING BECAUSE IT
IS A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TASK.
I WAS ENCOURAGED BY THE PUBLIC
SAFETY CHAIR ONES THAT INSTEAD
OF DOING PUBLIC SAFETY BILLS
THAT I SHOULD DO MORE, UH,
FOSTER YOUTH BILLS, MORE
EDUCATION BILLS. UH AND I HAVE
DONE JUST THAT I HAVE INTRODUCED
19 FOSTER CARE BILLS. AT LEAST A
DOZEN. UH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
BILLS AT LEAST HALF A DOZEN.
CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY CENTER BILLS
BECAUSE THESE ISSUES ARE
PREVALENT IN OUR SOCIETY. WE
DEBATE AH, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO
DO ABOUT IT AND MEMBERS
COLLEAGUES. IT IS AMAZING THAT.
WE ARE HERE FOR THE SIXTH TIME
WE COMPLAIN ABOUT IT BEING THE
SIX TIMES WHICH I AGREE WITH THE
COMPLAINTS. HOWEVER HERE WE ARE
AGAIN. THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLACE
IS THAT WHATEVER DOESN'T PASS
THIS TIME WE CAN INTRODUCE AGAIN
THE NEXT TIME AND THE FOLLOWING
TIME IN THE FOLLOWING TÌM. WE
TALK ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY AS IF
THERE'S ONLY ONE SOLUTION AND
THERE ISN'T THERE'S MULTIPLE
SOLUTIONS I APPRECIATE AND THANK
THE AUTHOR FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE
THE FLOOR MANAGER FOR THIS BILL,
BECAUSE THIS IS A PASSION FOR ME
TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT CHILDREN
AS A TEACHER AS A MOTHER OF A 16
AND 15 YEAR OLD TO BE ABLE TO
SAY THAT I HAVE DONE SOMETHING
TO BE ABLE TO PROTECT, NOT JUST
MY KIDS, BUT ALL OF OUR KIDS IS
THE HONOR OF MY LIFE. I WANT TO
THANK YOU. I WANT TO THANK
SENATOR GROW FOR AGAIN GIVING ME
THE OPPORTUNITY TO MANAGE THIS
BILL ON THE FLOOR TODAY, AND
WITH THAT, I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR MY VOTE. CLERK OPEN THE
ROLE. ALL THOSE VOTES WHO DESIRE
TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTERS WHO
DESIRE TO VOTE. ALL THOSE VOTES
WHO DESIRE TO VOTE. CLARK CLOSED
THE ROLE. 79 NO.
ZERO
MOVING TO FILE NUMBER 1 98.
SP 253. CLERK WILL READ. SENATE
BILL 2 53 BY SENATOR WEINER AND
OTHERS AND REGULATING THE
GREENHOUSE GASSES AND MAKING AN
APPROPRIATION, THEREFORE,
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AWARD. YOU HAVE
BEEN RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU,
MADAM SPEAKER AND MEMBERS. SB 2
53 IS INTRODUCED THE CLIMATE
CORPORATE ACCOUNTABILITY ACT,
WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ALL US BASED
COMPANIES WITH OVER $1 BILLION
IN ANNUAL REVENUE, WHO DO
BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA TO REPORT
THEIR FULL GREENHOUSE GAS
FOOTPRINT TO THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD. THAT'S WHAT IT
DOES. THIS DATA, ALONG WITH THE
ACCOMPANYING REPORT WILL THEN BE
PUBLISHED ON A PUBLIC FACING
WEBSITE FOR ALL CALIFORNIANS TO
SEE. NOW YOU CAN'T REGULATE WHAT
YOU DON'T KNOW, AND AS THE STATE
CONTINUES TO CURB ITS EMISSIONS
ACROSS PUBLIC SECTORS, WE HAVE A
CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT WORK IS
REMAINING AND WHAT ACTION NEEDS
TO BE TAKING TO CONTINUE
PROGRESS. HOWEVER, THE SAME
CANNOT BE SAID TODAY FOR THE
PRIVATE SECTOR. CURRENTLY
EMISSIONS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
ARE LIMITED TO LARGE POINT
SOURCE EMITTERS, LEAVING OUT
VAST SWATHS OF PRIVATE EMITTERS
. SOME COMPANIES DO VOLUNTARILY
REPORT CERTAIN EMISSIONS, AND WE
ARE GRATEFUL FOR THAT. BUT IT'S
DIFFICULT TO BE CERTAIN OF
REPORTS VALIDITY. MANY
CORPORATIONS OFFER ONLY PARTIAL
REPORTS TO THE PUBLIC OR THE
SECTION OF PARTS OF THEIR
OPERATIONS TO DISPLAY TO THE
PUBLIC. SO THE LACK OF
VERIFICATION AND UNIFORMITY
ALLOWS FOR MANIPULATION AND
MISREPRESENTATION OF THE DATA.
CUSTOMERS AND POLICYMAKERS ARE
LEFT WITH NO FURTHER INFORMATION
BEYOND THE PUBLIC FACADE PUT ON
BY A COMPANY BACKED EMISSIONS
DISCLOSURE. COMPANIES CONTINUE
TO SET AND ACHIEVE AMBITIOUS
CLIMATE GOALS FOR THEMSELVES,
BUT WITHOUT FULL TRANSPARENCY
WITHOUT FULL VERIFICATION OF
THEIR DATA AND WITHOUT PUBLIC
DOCUMENTATION OF THEIR
EMISSIONS. HOW CAN WE BE SURE
THAT THEIR CLAIMS ARE ACCURATE?
USB 2 53 WILL ALLOW FOR THAT
MUCH NEEDED TRANSPARENCY BY
REQUIRING FULL DISCLOSURE OF
EMISSIONS FROM ALL COVERED
ENTITIES. THIS MEANS THAT
COMPANIES MUST DISCLOSE DIRECT
EMISSIONS FROM THE ACTIVITIES
AND INDIRECT EMISSIONS FROM THE
SUPPLY CHAIN AND OTHER SOURCES.
SHINING A LIGHT ON TO THE WORLD
OF CORPORATE EMISSIONS REPORTING
WILL ENSURE THAT THOSE WHO ARE
CORRECTLY REPORTING WILL HAVE
MINIMAL WORK TO BE ALIGNED WITH
SP 2 53, BUT WE'LL EXPOSE SOME
OF THE ACTORS USING UNREGULATED
EMISSIONS DISCLOSURES IN BAD
FAITH. ALTHOUGH SP 2 53 WILL
CERTAINLY PUSH SOME COMPANIES
INTO NEW TERRITORY, THIS BILL
WILL NOT REINVENT THE WHEEL WE
ARE DIRECTING, CARVED TO CONSULT
AND CONSIDER THE GUIDELINES AND
PROTOCOLS THAT ARE ALREADY
ESTABLISHED AND RECOGNIZED AS
THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD.
ADDITIONALLY THE AUTHOR HAS MADE
EXPLICIT IN THE BILL THAT
SECONDARY DATA AND ESTIMATES CAN
BE USED FOR THE SCOPE THREE.
THIS IS IN LINE WITH OTHER
EMISSIONS DISCLOSURE
REQUIREMENTS AND ENSURES THAT A
COMPANY CAN COMPLY WITH SB 2 53
WITHOUT EVER SPEAKING TO YOU ARE
ENGAGING A MEMBER OF THEIR
SUPPLY CHAIN, THE BURDEN IS
ENTIRELY ON THE BILLION DOLLAR
COMPANY TO DO THE REPORTING. SB
2 53 WILL ALLOW FOR CONSUMERS TO
HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF
THE IMPACT OF HOUSEHOLD BRANDS
AND BIG COMPANIES THAT THEY KNOW
IT WILL PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO
MAKE A DECISION BETWEEN ONE
PRODUCT AND ANOTHER. AS
MANUFACTURERS, EMISSIONS WILL BE
DISPLAYED AND EASILY
UNDERSTANDABLE ONLINE, AND MOST
OF ALL, IT WILL ALLOW CONSUMERS
TO SEE WHICH CORPORATIONS ARE
MAKING PROGRESS AND WHICH ARE
CAUSING CALIFORNIA TO
POTENTIALLY LIVE BEHIND IN THE
MISSION'S DEDUCTIONS AND OUR
CLIMATE GOALS WITH THAT, I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I VOTE
ON SP 2 53. ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S ARE
VERY YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S. MADAME SPEAKER
MEMBERS TODAY I RISE IN STRONG
SUPPORT OF SB 2 53 THE CLIMATE
CORPORATE DATA ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT. THE TOP PRIORITY OF
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL VOTERS
AND A BILL THAT THE LOS ANGELES
TIMES DESCRIBED AS QUOTE
GROUNDBREAKING LEGISLATION WITH
THE POTENTIAL TO REACH FAR
BEYOND CALIFORNIA'S BORDERS BY
FORCING SOME OF THE WORLD'S
BIGGEST BUSINESSES TO BE HONEST
ABOUT THE DAMAGE THEY MIGHT BE
CAUSING SP 2 53 WILL ONCE AGAIN
DEMONSTRATE CALIFORNIA'S
HISTORIC LEADERSHIP IN
CONFRONTING THE CRISIS THAT IS
BEFORE US AND MOVE THE NATION
AND THE WORLD TO SAVE OUR PLANET
FOR OUR KIDS BEFORE IT'S TOO
LATE. I WANT TO FOCUS MY
COMMENTS ON THE ISSUE OF WHY
THIS BILL IS SO IMPORTANT AND
WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE
SCOPE THREE EMISSIONS IN THE
REQUIRED CLIMATE REPORTING. THE
BILL SETS UP A STANDARD
REPORTING REGIME THAT REQUIRES
THE LARGEST COMPANIES OPERATING
IN OUR STATE WITH OVER 1 BILLION
IN SALES TO PUBLICLY REPORT
THEIR ANNUAL GREENHOUSE GAS
EMISSIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA AIR
RESOURCES BOARD. THESE ARE THE
COMPANIES THAT ARE MAKING THE
REAL DECISIONS THAT WILL
DETERMINE WHETHER WE ARE
SUCCESSFUL IN SAVING OUR PLANET.
A LOT OF TALK. HAS BEEN AROUND
WHAT ARE CALLED SCOPE THREE
EMISSIONS. THESE ARE THE
EMISSIONS THAT RESULT FROM THE
DECISIONS THESE LARGE COMPANIES
MAKE REGARDING THE RAW MATERIALS
, COMPONENTS AND SUPPLIES
UPSTREAM, WHICH THEY PURCHASE
AND USED TO MAKE THEIR PRODUCTS
OR SUPPLY THEIR SERVICES AND THE
DOWNSTREAM EMISSIONS THAT RESULT
FROM THE GOODS AND SERVICES THAT
THEY SELL. THESE COMPANIES ARE
THE DRIVERS OF WHAT THEIR
SUPPLIERS DO UPSTREAM AND THEY
CAN DRIVE CHANGE BY ASKING THEIR
SUPPLIERS TO TAKE STEPS TO
REDUCE THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINTS.
OR THEY COULD DECIDE TO SOURCE
SUPPLIES AND COMPONENTS WITH
LOWER CARBON FOOTPRINTS. ON THE
DOWNSTREAM SIDE, THESE COMPANIES
CAN DEVISE WAYS TO INVEST,
MANUFACTURE AND MARKET LOWER
CARBON PRODUCTS. THIS BILL
STANDARDIZES. THE MEASUREMENT OF
THESE EMISSIONS, MAKES THEM
TRANSPARENT AND GIVES COMPANIES
A HUGE INCENTIVE TO TAKE STEPS
TO REDUCE THEIR ENTIRE LIFE
CYCLE. CARBON FOOTPRINTS. WHEN I
WAS TALKING WITH MY KIDS. ABOUT
THIS THIS WEEKEND. THEY ASKED ME
HOW THESE COMPANIES CAN REDUCE
EMISSIONS OF THEIR PRODUCTS IF
THEY AREN'T KEEPING TRACK OF
WHAT THEY ARE, AND SAID THAT
THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE
COMPANIES ARE TAKING STEPS TO
PROTECT OUR PLANET AND WHICH
AREN'T THIS BILL IS HUGELY
SUPPORTED BY THE PUBLIC WITH 82%
OF AMERICANS SUPPORTING THIS
KIND OF REPORTING, AND BECAUSE
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT IF WE'RE
NOT MEASURING EMISSIONS, WE
DON'T HAVE THE TOOLS TO DO
BETTER. SOME OPPONENTS HAVE
CHARACTERIZED THIS BILL AS
MERELY PAPER PUSHING THAT WON'T
REDUCE CARBON. THAT CLAIM COULD
NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
THIS BILL MAY BE THE MOST
IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO SINCE
A B 32 IN THE FIGHT TO ADDRESS
THE CRISIS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. A
NUMBER OF FOLKS HAVE EXPRESSED
CONCERN THAT INCLUDING THE SCOPE
THREE EMISSIONS IS TOO DIFFICULT
TO RAISE IS TOO MUCH ENFORCEMENT
RISK FOR COMPANIES BECAUSE IT'S
A NEW PROGRAM. TO THAT. I'D SAY
THAT THIS ONLY APPLIES TO
COMPANIES WITH $1 BILLION IN
REVENUE AND THE AVERAGE
ESTIMATED COST OF THIS WORK IS
LESS THAN $250,000, OR 0.025% OF
THEIR ANNUAL REVENUE. NOTHING
MORE THAN A BLIP IN THERE
COUNTING SHEETS. I HAVE GREAT
COMPETENCE IN THE ENGINE UNITY
OF AMERICAN BUSINESS TO SOLVE
OUR TOUGHEST CHALLENGES, JUST
LIKE THEY DID IN WORLD WAR TWO
AND WE NOW NEED THEM TO BE A
PART OF THIS FIGHT TO SAVE OUR
PLANET. SECOND THE BILL BUILDS
ON DECADES OF WORK IN DEVELOPING
PROTOCOLS TO ESTIMATE EMISSIONS
. THERE ARE TODAY ALREADY
DETAILED EMISSIONS REPORTING
PROTOCOLS FOR ALMOST EVERY
INDUSTRY ON HOW TO ESTIMATE AND
REPORT SCOPE THREE EMISSIONS FOR
THE AREAS IN WHICH THEIR GAPS
THE BILL DELEGATES TO CARVE THE
RESPONSIBILITY TO DEVELOP
REGULATIONS THAT WILL FILL IN
THE GAPS. THAT REGULATORY
DIRECTION ALSO REQUIRES THEM TO
AVOID DUPLICATION WITH OTHER
REPORTING LAWS THAT MAY BE
DEVELOPED IN THE EU AND
ELSEWHERE. ON TOP OF THAT THE
AUTHOR AND SPONSOR LAST THURSDAY
TOOK SIGNIFICANT AMENDMENTS TO
RESPOND TO THE CONCERNS OF
BUSINESSES AND MANY OF OUR
COLLEAGUES TODAY THAT
ESSENTIALLY REMOVE REMOVED THE
RISK OF PENALTIES OUT INTO THE
FUTURE BY EIGHT YEARS UNTIL 2020
30 REPORTING YEAR AND BEYOND
2030 THE BILL PROVIDES AND I
QUOTE REPORTING ENTITY SHALL NOT
BE SUBJECT TO AN ADMINISTRATIVE
PENALTY UNDER THIS SECTION FOR
ANY MISSTATEMENTS WITH REGARD TO
SCOPE, THREE EMISSIONS
DISCLOSURES MADE WITH A
REASONABLE BASIS AND DISCLOSED
IN GOOD FAITH, CLOSE QUOTE, AND
THAT APPLIES EVEN AFTER 2030 30
. SECONDS ON TOP OF THAT CARB
HAS REGULATORY SAFETY VALVE THAT
THEY HAVE. TO SUM IT UP. THIS
BILL IS HUGELY IMPORTANT. OUR
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS MIRED IN
DYSFUNCTION, AND WE KNOW THAT
CONGRESS CAN'T FIX THIS ONCE
AGAIN, AS WE'VE DONE BEFORE ON
CLIMATE, CIVIL RIGHTS AND LGBT,
HE WRITES. CALIFORNIA CAN LEAD
THE WAY AS YOU MAKE THIS
DECISION. I ASKED YOU TO THINK
ABOUT YOUR KIDS ARE KIDS AND THE
PLANET THAT WE'RE LEAVING THEM.
I ASKED YOU TO THINK ABOUT
WHETHER OUR BUSINESS COMMUNITY
THE MOST INNOVATIVE IN THE
WORLD. IS ASKING TOO MUCH TO BE
PARTNERS IN THIS FIGHT. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.
SOMEBODY AMERICA CHOLERA YOU'RE
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAM
SPEAKER IN PAKISTAN AND SUPPORT
OF SB 2 53, THE CLIMATE
CORPORATE DATA ACCOUNTABILITY
ACT. IT'S NO SECRET THAT THE
CORPORATE SECTOR IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR AN ENORMOUS PORTION OF TOTAL
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS, BUT WE
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY
GENERATE AND WHERE THIS
GENERATION IS OCCURRING IN THEIR
SUPPLY CHAINS. ASKED ME TO 53
WILL SHINE A LIGHT ON THIS
MYSTERY, GIVING US A BETTER IDEA
OF THE TRUE SCOPE OF CORPORATE
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS.
UNFORTUNATELY THIS BILL HAS BEEN
SMEARED BY MISINFORMATION,
INCLUDING CLAIMS. THAT IS
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WILL HURT
BUSINESSES. AND THIS IS SIMPLY
NOT TRUE. THE BILL ONLY IMPOSES
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ON THE
BUSINESSES OR EARNING OVER A
BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. AND
MANY OF THEM ARE ALREADY
PARTIALLY REPORTING THEIR
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. IN
FACT, A NUMBER OF THEM HAVE COME
OUT IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL,
INCLUDING PATAGONIA, MICROSOFT
APPLE, IKEA. AND MANY COMPANIES
, INCLUDING CALIFORNIA BASED
COMPANY'S ALREADY ALREADY HAVE
GOALS FOR ZERO EMISSIONS.
FURTHERMORE THIS BILL OFFERS
CORPORATIONS FLEXIBILITY
REPORTING EMISSIONS DERIVED FROM
INDIRECT UPSTREAM AND DOWNSTREAM
SOURCES THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO
RELY ON DATA SOURCE FROM THE
SMALLER BUSINESSES. THEY WORK
WITH. YOU KNOW AN EXTENSIVE
STUDY. HAS SHOWN THAT OVER THE
LAST 35 YEARS 100 COMPANIES.
HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR 71. OF
GLOBAL EMISSIONS. WE CAN'T NOT
ONLY QUEEN NOT HIDE. FROM THE
ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE IS
ACTUALLY WE'VE CREATED SO MUCH
DAMAGE. THAT SOME OF ITS
IRREVERSIBLE THE QUESTION IS.
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THIS?
THE URGENCY THAT IT IS IT
DESERVES. OUR CHILDREN. AND
GRANDCHILDREN. ARE GOING TO FACE
THE WORLD THAT WE GIVE THEM. AND
THEY'RE GONNA ASK. WHAT DID WE
DO? THE NEXT GENERATION OF
LEGISLATORS WILL BE STANDING ON
THIS FLOOR. EITHER. THEY'RE
GOING TO BE DEALING WITH THE
MESS THAT IS BEYOND REPAIR. OR
THEY'RE GONNA BE GIVEN TODAY. A
PATH. A PATH TOWARDS A FUTURE.
THAT HAS THEM. CONTINUING ON A
JOURNEY TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
TO ENSURE THAT OUR COMPANIES ARE
THE MOST INNOVATIVE IN THE
WORLD. LET'S NOT FORGET THE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT EXIST WHEN
OUR COMPANIES ARE TAKING THE
LEAD. TOWARDS ZERO EMISSIONS, OR
AT LEAST TAKING THE LEAD TO
REDUCING THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT.
CONSUMERS DESERVE TO KNOW YOU
KNOW HOW MUCH WE SPEND AND HOW
MUCH ENERGY WE USE EVERY MONTH.
WE DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT
DECISIONS WERE MAKING WITH OUR
PURCHASING POWER, AND WE WANT
OUR COMPANIES TO BE THE BEST IN
THE WORLD. IN TERMS OF COMBATING
THE CLIMATE CHANGE. AND IT'S NOT
AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT. IT'S A
CURRENT THREAT AS WE SEE AROUND
THE WORLD. THAT THE CATASTROPHES
ARE HAPPENING AND EVERY SINGLE
CORNER OF THIS WORLD. CALIFORNIA
CAN LEAD CALIFORNIA SHOULD LEAD
SP 2 53 IS A COMMON SENSE, BILL.
THAT GIVES US ANOTHER TOOL TO
WIELD IN OUR FIGHT AGAINST
CLIMATE CHANGE, CLEAR AND
ACCESSIBLE INFORMATION. I ASKED
YOU TO SUPPORT THIS BILL TODAY
AND LOOK FORWARD TO STANDING IN
SUPPORT OF THE FUTURE CLIMATE
SOLUTIONS THAT IT INSPIRES.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S WORKS YOU
RECOGNIZED. THANK YOU, MADAME
SPEAKER MEMBERS. I WASN'T GONNA
SPEAK TODAY, BUT I WANTED TO
RISE IN SUPPORT OF SB 2 53. AS A
MOM. I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD AND A
THREE YEAR OLD. I MEAN, I THINK
ABOUT THE WORLD THAT THEY ARE
INHERITING THAT WE DID. IT IS
TIME THAT WE FIX THIS PROBLEM
AND THAT STARTS WITH
TRANSPARENCY, BASIC SUNLIGHT ON
ISSUES. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT DATA, SO WE
UNDERSTAND. WHAT IS HAPPENING?
WHAT ARE WHAT ARE OUR CORPORATE
PARTNERS ARE DOING TO OUR
COMMUNITIES, AND MANY OF THEM
WANT TO LEAD THE WAY. YOU KNOW
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THESE TOUGH
CHALLENGES, CLIMATE CHANGE. IT'S
OUR INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY TO
TAKE ACTION. I THOUGHT ABOUT
THIS. WE JUST BOUGHT AN E. V FOR
THE FIRST TIME AND I WAS TALKING
TO MY SIX YEAR OLD ABOUT IT. AND
SHE SAID, OH, I'M SO EXCITED
THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A
CAR THAT PUTS POLLUTION INTO THE
AIR BECAUSE SHE SAID, MOMMY YOU
KNOW, THE POLAR BEARS DON'T HAVE
ANY ICE BLOCKS TO REST ON. AND
THERE THE ICE CAPS ARE MELTING.
AND SO WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO
REST WHEN THEY'RE TRYING TO
HUNT? AND SHE'S SIX YEARS OLD,
RIGHT AND THOSE ARE THE
CONVERSATIONS SHE'S HAVING WITH
ME, SO IT'S IN COMMON WITH US TO
HAVE THOSE INDIVIDUAL
CONVERSATIONS AND TAKE
INDIVIDUAL ACTION. IT'S
INCUMBENT UPON OUR GOVERNMENT TO
TAKE ACTION TO FORCE REGULATION,
AND IT'S INCUMBENT UPON
CORPORATIONS AND OUR BUSINESS
COMMUNITY IN OUR PRIVATE SECTOR
TO LEAD THE WAY, AND MANY OF
THESE COMPANIES WANT TO DO THAT.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE GOOGLE
SALESFORCE, MICROSOFT SUPPORTING
BUT NOT JUST TECH COMPANIES.
LEVI'S THEY HAVE COMPLICATED
SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES. IKEA APPLE
PATAGONIA. THESE ARE COMPANIES
THAT WANT TO LEAD THE WAY
THEY'RE SUPPORTING THIS BILL. SO
I KNOW THE ARGUMENT IS ALL
BUSINESS DOESN'T WANT IT. WELL
GUESS WHAT. THESE COMPANIES WANT
IT. THEY'RE SIGNING UP THERE
SAYING YES, CALIFORNIA CAN AND
SHOULD LEAD THE WAY WE HAVE LED
THE WAY REMEMBER EMISSION
STANDARDS IN THE SEVENTIES. IT'S
OBVIOUS THAT CALIFORNIA SHOULD
LEAD THE WAY WE ALWAYS LEAD THE
WAY ON THE ENVIRONMENT. SO IF
YOU CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE THAT
WE'RE LEAVING FOR OUR CHILDREN,
AND I DO SELFISHLY AS A MOM THAT
YOU WON'T VOTE TO SUPPORT THIS
BILL. WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO LEAD
THE WAY. WE SHOULD BE GLOBAL
LEADERS. WE GO TO COP. WE GO TO
THESE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES.
AND WHAT DO WE BRAG ABOUT ALL
THE GOOD WORK THAT WE'RE DOING
HERE IN CALIFORNIA? THIS IS THE
MOST CONSEQUENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL
PIECE OF LEGISLATION. YOU'RE
GOING TO VOTE ON THIS YEAR IN
THE ASSEMBLY. THE MOST
CONSEQUENTIAL. SO I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN I VOTE. SOME REMEMBER
WORD WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE?
THANK YOU. MADAM SPEAKER. I
WANNA THANK ALL COMMENTS FROM MY
COLLEAGUES AS WELL. UM AND I
PROBABLY COULD NOT UNDERSCORE IT
BETTER THAN THEY ALREADY HAVE
ABOUT WHY IT IS SO CRITICAL THAT
THIS BILL PASSES AND THERE'S
BEEN A LOT OF MISINFORMATION OUT
THERE. AND I KNOW THIS IS THE
AUTHORS. I THINK SECOND ATTEMPT
WORKING ON A VARIATION OF THIS
BILL, BUT IT'S SO CRITICAL THAT
WE PASSED THIS. UM IT'S REALLY
STRAIGHTFORWARD WHEN YOU CUT
THROUGH A LOT OF THE NOISE AND A
LOT OF THE DISINFORMATION. THIS
IS REPORTING BILL AND IT HELPS
US TO STANDARDIZE MEASUREMENTS
THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE ON
THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. AND WHY
IS THAT CRITICAL? WELL, WE HERE
IN CALIFORNIA HAVE BEEN TRYING
TO HOLD OURSELVES OUR
GOVERNMENTS FROM THE STEAM DOWN
TO THE LOCAL GOVERNMENTAL LEVEL
ACCOUNTABLE. WELL FOR MEASURING
AND THEN CHALLENGING OURSELVES
TO REDUCE SOME OF THOSE
EMISSIONS. BUT OF COURSE, A LOT
OF THIS ACTIVITY. IS BORN FROM
PRIVATE SECTOR ACTIVITIES, AND
THAT'S OKAY. THAT BUILDS A GREAT
ECONOMY AND WE'RE VERY PROUD OF
THAT. BUT TO NOT EVEN KNOW, DO
NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT COMPANY
X IS PRODUCING IN THE TERMS OF A
MILLION TONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE
EMISSIONS IN A YEAR. THAT'S A
STANDARD WHICH WOULD THEN
CHALLENGE THEMSELVES TO SAY OKAY
, IF I'M IN A MILLION THIS YEAR.
HOW DO I GET HUNT DOWN TO
800,000 NEXT YEAR? HOW DO WE GET
DOWN TO 600,000? THE YEAR AFTER
THAT, AND THAT'S REALLY
SYSTEMIZED AS THE MEASUREMENTS
THAT THEY TAKE A HUGE
RESPONSIBILITY IN THE TOTALITY
OF CARBON EMISSIONS THAT WE'RE
SEEING IN THAT WE SEE COMING
THROUGH ACTIVITIES IN OUR STATE
. UM THAT'S THEM DOING THEIR
PART SO WE CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO
START TO MEASURE THAT UNTIL WE
HAVE SB 2 53 IN PLACE THAT
REALLY SETS THE STANDARD AGAIN.
MANY COMPANIES ARE SUPPORTING
THIS BILL, AND MANY COMPANIES
ARE ALREADY DOING THE RIGHT
THING TO BE ABLE TO TRY TO
ACCURATELY MEASURE AND THEN
CHALLENGE THEMSELVES TO REDUCE
THAT. REDUCE THEIR EMISSIONS,
AND SO THIS WOULD CREATE THAT
SYSTEMIZED APPROACH THAT WOULD
ALLOW NOT SMALL MOM AND POPS BUT
MILLION EXCUSE ME BILLION DOLLAR
CORPORATIONS ACROSS OUR STATE TO
BE ABLE TO ADHERE TO SOME OF
THOSE VERY SAFE STANDARDS AS
WELL. THE AUTHOR HAS DUG IN DEEP
TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT
AMENDMENTS ARE ADDRESSING THE
CONCERNS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
AMENDMENTS ON WHAT IT LOOKS
LIKE. FOR CARBS REGULATIONS WHAT
THE FEES AND REQUIREMENTS ARE
GOING TO LOOK LIKE THAT THERE
WOULD BE A CAP ON PENALTIES AND,
MORE IMPORTANTLY, THAT THERE'S A
SAFE HARBOR PROVISIONS. WE KNOW
THAT HONEST MISTAKES CAN BE MADE
, BUT WE DO NOT IN CALIFORNIA
POLICY SHOULD BE TO NOT LOOK THE
OTHER WAY WHEN THERE ARE BAD
ACTORS OUT THERE, MISCALCULATING
WHAT THEIR IMPACT IS AND NOT
HOLDING THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE,
NOT ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO HOLD
THEMSELVES ACCOUNTABLE. SO I ASK
YOU TO THINK ABOUT AGAIN. HOW
SIMPLE THIS BILL ACTUALLY IS IN
ON ITS FACE AND WHAT A
DIFFERENCE IT WILL MAKE FOR US
TO BE ABLE TO MEET OUR CLIMATE
GOALS BECAUSE WE ARE OUT OF
TIME. AND SO WE HAVE TO BE ABLE
TO. I HOPE THAT WE CAN ALMOST
UNIVERSALLY AGREE ON THAT THAT
WE ARE OUT OF TIME ON ADDRESSING
THE CLIMATE CRISIS. THIS WILL
ABSOLUTELY HELP US TAKE A LEAP
FORWARD TO BE ABLE TO HOLD
OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE AND START
TO BEGIN TO MEET THOSE
REDUCTIONS THAT WE ARE SEEKING
OVER THE COMING DECADE. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR VOTE.

IN LONG BEACH. YOU KNOW, BEFORE
I TALK ABOUT ROB'S LIFE, I JUST
YOU KNOW, ALL OF US HERE ARE
DEDICATED TO LIFE AND SERVICE.
AND WHEN WE THINK ABOUT SERVICE
WE THINK ABOUT THE MANY WAYS
THAT ONE CAN SERVE. WE HAVE
MEMBERS OF THIS BODY WHO HAVE
SERVED ENFORCEMENT. WE HAVE
MEMBERS THAT HAVE SERVED IN THE
MILITARY AND PROTECTED US. WE
HAVE MEMBERS WHO HAVE SERVED AS
FIREFIGHTERS. AND SAVE LIVES. IN
OUR COMMUNITIES. WE HAVE PEOPLE
THAT WE ALL KNOW THAT SERVE ON
NONPROFIT BOARDS. THAT SERVE AS
VOLUNTEERS IN THE COMMUNITY AND
OTHERWISE AND THEN THERE'S A
WHOLE ANOTHER GROUP OF FOLKS.
THAT SERVE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
THAT SERVE. BY MAKING US. THE
VERY BEST THAT WE CAN BE THAT
BRING OUT THE BEST. IN ALL OF
US. THAT CAN RELATE TO ANYBODY
THAT CAN TALK TO ANYBODY AND
HAVE A CONVERSATION AND FEEL
FULFILLED WITH ANYBODY ON ANY
LEVEL. AND THAT WAS ROB CHAU
SLOW. PERSON IN THE LONG BEACH
COMMUNITY. WHO IS BELOVED BY ANY
SINGLE PERSON THAT HE WOULD COME
ACROSS. WHO IS NOT ONLY AN
INTERESTING PERSON. BUT WAS
TRULY INTERESTED. AND WHAT
ANYBODY HAS TO SAY. HE GREW UP

ROBUST JEWISH COMMUNITY. THAT IS
TO SAY IT'S NOT WEST L. A. IT'S
NOT NEW YORK CITY IT'S NOT
BROOKLYN. JEWISH KIDS CAN OFTEN
FEEL OSTRACIZED. FEEL LIKE THEY
DON'T BELONG. I FEEL LIKE IT'S
THEIR OBLIGATION TO STAND UP IN
FRONT OF THE CLASS AND EXPLAIN
JEWISH HOLIDAYS AS THEY COME. TO
DEAL WITH ANTI SEMITISM. ROB WAS
ONE OF THOSE KIDS. WHO MADE THE
YOUNGER JEWISH KIDS FEEL COOL. I
